MUSIC: Beautiful by Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
SPEECH DROWNED OUT BY MUSIC | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
Welcome to Battersea Park, here in London, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
where tonight we're going to be celebrating | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
a wonderful summer of sport at Team GB's Olympic Golden Ball. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
With Rio, Great Britain enjoyed its most successful ever | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
away Olympics and became the first country | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
to win more medals four years after it actually hosted the Games. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
Yeah, they surpassed their target. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
They won 67. 27 of those were golds, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
and tonight we'll be meeting some of the athletes | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
who helped make history possible. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
And we'll also be finding out who'll be leaving with one of these, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
in special recognition of some of their more outstanding achievements. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Yes. Much more of that later, | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
but first a little reminder of what makes the Olympics so special. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
I want to get to the Olympics | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
and then hopefully win an Olympic gold medal. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
And if I wasn't to win a medal, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
it would drive me on to be in the next Olympics | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
and win that medal then. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
If you dream at something and you have ambitions, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
and you're willing to work hard, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
you can achieve your dreams. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Every year that you do, every day you train, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
is for the Olympics and to be at your best there. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
They don't hand out Olympic gold medals for nothing. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Gold medals! Steven Redgrave, Matthew Pinsent... | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
Anyone sees me go anywhere near a boat, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
you've got my permission to shoot me. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
For Steve Redgrave, five in a row. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
What a great Olympian! | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Chris Hoy gets the gold medal! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
The greatest all-round athlete in the world. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
You little beauty! | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
Sebastien Coe is the Olympic champion again. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Great Britain's new heroine is Rebecca Adlington. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Glover and Stanning defend their Olympic title. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Bradley Wiggins is the Olympic champion. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
And Gunnell gets the gold! | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Well done, Ben Ainslie. Oh, he's done it! | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
The hockey history-makers! | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
What we are seeing right now is that dreams do come true. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
You are the double Olympic champion, Kelly Holmes. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
There was a huge amount of pressure coming into this, and I've done it, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
and I can't believe I've done it! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
Well, the band, as you can see, are here and warming up and, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
pretty soon, this whole room will be filled | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
with British Olympic athletes. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Now, a short while ago, Nick's been chatting to the two people | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
who are key to making sure the whole night runs smoothly. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
I'm here with the two hosts for tonight. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Claudia Winkleman - you might know her from TV - and Tom Daley. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-He's done a little bit of diving. -Here or there. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Well, great to see you guys. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
First of all, did you see the Olympics this summer | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
and what were your moments? | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Erm, there were so many moments. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
I was just, like, overspilling with pride. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Bearing in mind that I can't even do a hopscotch without | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
having a nap. Everything I watch, my mind just...almost exploded. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
I loved the women's hockey team. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
I could not believe it. I found myself in bed screaming, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
throwing pillows, going, "They're amazing! They're amazing!" | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
You know, Maddie and Hollie, all of them, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
-that was my probably stand-out moment. -It was incredible. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Tom, obviously that amazing bronze medal alongside Dan Goodfellow. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Any other highlights? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
I mean, for us, the whole diving team did so incredibly well | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
and, you know, Jack and Chris, when they won the Olympic gold, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
you know, it was one of those moments that I will never | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
ever forget. So, to be part of that team, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
and just the fact that we're the most successful Team GB team ever | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
is just something... You know, it's amazing to be part of that. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
Strictly Come Dancing, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
we see Olympians doing well every single year. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
What makes it so special for them? | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
I don't... They do incredibly well. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
They're quite competitive, they're fit, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
they're used to working with a brilliant team, and the best people | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
at Strictly are very happy to work as a gang, as a two, | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
but everyone else around them, and they just throw themselves in. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
They do brilliantly. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
-Who would you like to see in future editions? -This one. -Ha-ha! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
I could tell him now he's going to win. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Look at that body. Ready for a rumba, ready for a waltz. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-Any special moves? -Er, no sp... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
-That will do. -It's a start. -That'll do. -I just won there, right? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
Someone give him the trophy. Done. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
The athletes here tonight we're probably more used to seeing | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
in sports kit than black tie and ballgowns, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
but they've all comes dressed for the occasion | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
and our fashion vlogger Meg has been on the red carpet to see | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
who might have a chance of taking the unofficial style award. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
-We're talking about fashion... -OK. -You want us?! | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
You're talking to the wrong people, but, yeah... | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
A lot of my younger viewers want to know if you have any tips | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
about dressing to make yourself feel more confident for a night out. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Swimming's quite a hard one cos we are quite broad upper body and | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
more narrow towards the bottom, | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
so you kind of want to balance yourself out a bit, don't you? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
If you feel comfortable wearing what you like then I'd definitely | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
go for it cos you're going to look the best if you're smiling. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
We kind of look for things that balance out shoulders | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
and give you a bit more waist maybe. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
We were on the internet about an hour ago | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
trying to work out how to do it, and I think I've done an all right job. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
That's actually a really good attempt. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:13 | |
It's one of those life skills you just have, isn't it? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
All the Strictly experience and the hair, the glitter, the make-up, | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
I was just like, "Yeah, bring it on!" | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
Do you have a signature dance move? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Well, I like twerking! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-A little sidestep. Sometimes you've got to... -Love it. -..break it back. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Lily does... She goes for this little half squat position. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-Oh, God! -Like this, just like moves a bit. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
This dress is so tight, I can't really... | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
I can't really twerk it. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
Before we talk about the athletes, let's recognise the supporters. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
The first award of the night is for Team GB's biggest fan. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Who went the extra mile when supporting Great Britain this year? | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
MUSIC: Get Lucky by Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Now it's time for the very first Team GB award. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
These awards are to recognise the amazing efforts of everyone | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
in Team GB and the team behind them. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
That's why our first award doesn't actually go to an athlete at all. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
This is an award for Team GB's ultimate super-fan, | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
to acknowledge all the love and support | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
we get from everyone when we're competing. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
Have that feeling and go to the Olympics and support Team GB | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
because, you know, they appreciate it. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
We'd like to thank everyone for the support that they've been | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-showing us. -Keep it up. -We want to hear all your support, | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
-all the way from Rio. -It's time to step up for Team GB. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-ALL: -Good luck, Team GB! Dab! | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
Zoe Hainsworth! | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
MUSIC: Cheerleader by Omi | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-ZOE: -It was pretty incredible. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
We were out in Rio ourselves as volunteers | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
and to be invited to an event like this is just absolutely unreal. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
Rio was my first trip to kind of follow Team GB | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
and just coincidentally we were out there volunteering in the hockey, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
which was an unbelievable event. We ended up ball-girling as well, | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
so to be on the pitch for the Olympic final, where the girls won, | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
was just...out of this world | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
and more than I could ever imagine. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
People keep saying, "How are you? How is retirement?" | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
But it's just such a nice feeling to have reflected back on my career | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
and now have this time to... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:39 | |
just relax and enjoy life, and do different things. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
The past two years were, yeah, the toughest years of my career, | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
and I knew it was my last Olympics, | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
and I think deep down I knew it was the last time I'd step on | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
the track and compete in that environment, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
so it was really special. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:53 | |
The team was incredible and... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
Yeah, really, really emotional. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
What kind of legacy do you think you've left and what do you see | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
British athletics in at the moment? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Generally, I think we're looking really promising | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
for the next four years and going into Tokyo. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
And, for me, I just hope that I've helped inspire people to get | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
involved in the sport. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:11 | |
I've had an incredible time and, yeah, | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
enjoyed so many amazing championships | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
and I hope that there's many more young girls | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
who want to be heptathletes, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:19 | |
come into the sport and hopefully achieve similar kind of things. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
To actually do it and sit there and hold that gold medal in my hand | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
and say, "That's it, we're Olympic champions," | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
is something that I can't really get my head around yet, really. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
I don't think I ever will, to be honest. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:32 | |
We were the first-ever people to win a gold medal, | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
and to do that alongside your best mate | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
is something pretty special, to be honest. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
I mean, to stand up in that podium, have our family in the crowd, | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
hear the national anthem at the Olympic Games, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
that's something that's never happened for Team GB. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
So, you know, we've... | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
We've made history and I'm hoping that it will inspire | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
the next generations and stuff, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
and what we've done for Team GB and for diving, | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
I'm hoping that it will spur people on to | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
try and replicate what we've done. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
My year has been an absolutely dream year, to be quite honest, | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
as an athlete. I've walked away with a medal in every event I've been to | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
through the year - the European Champion going into the Games - | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
and then to come away obviously with silver in K2 with | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
John Scofield, | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
and gold in K1, it was absolutely unbelievable. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
It was my first year internationally, really, | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
where I'd tried my K1 out and it worked out pretty well, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
so I'm quite keen to... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Develop and see how fast I can go | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
over the next year and head towards a World Championship title | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
because that's the only one that's missing from my cabinet. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
The next award is the Great Britain's Choice Award, | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
where the public have voted for their favourite athlete | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
or team of the Games. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
There were so many incredible performances in Rio, | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
but this award is for the | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
individual or team who the public felt inspired | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
the whole of the country. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -60 minutes of blood, sweat and ultimately tears... | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
one way or the other. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:56 | |
Oh, it's been saved. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
And this time it's scored. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
It's a goal for the Netherlands - 2-1 in front. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
Crista Cullen brings Great Britain level. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
The gold medal game is going to a penalty shootout. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
Oh, she's hit the post. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
Webb... | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
Scores! | 0:10:14 | 0:10:15 | |
Great Britain have won the Olympic gold medal! | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
It's an absolutely phenomenal honour. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
It's been a fantastic evening and to... | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
to be given this recognition as a squad. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
We won't get tired of saying it, but there's 31 amazing women | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
and staff that have been a part of this, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
so it truly is an honour to be here this evening. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
We just want to say thank you to everybody that's voted | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
and we really hope what the summer did | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
was put hockey out there on the map. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
Tell us what it was like to be in that moment | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
and that shootout at the end. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
Do you know what? It's nearly impossible to describe | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
the emotions within that moment | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
because we were very much in a bubble, weren't we? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
And it wasn't very dissimilar to what we've been doing at Bisham | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
day in, day out, just training | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
and, you know, it was just another shootout, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
another time to step up and do our job. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
And then afterwards the chaos kind of hit, | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
and the reality hit home of what we'd actually done. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
But I think it's testament to all the hard work we've done back home | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
to be confident in those moments, and we were ready. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
Even though the result wasn't what I wanted, | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
it does give me immense pride to know that... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
..the British public have just been so accommodating to me, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
and to come back off that plane and be treated like a winner | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
has just been such a pleasure to me. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:34 | |
For that moment, it did seem to bring so many people together. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
As corny as that sounds... | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
that does give me a lot of pleasure. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
I was a half second away from being Olympic champion and | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
accomplishing my dream. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:46 | |
HE SOBS | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
I'm sorry, I don't want to cry on TV, but... | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
I'm so distraught. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:52 | |
What you saw there, in that interview, | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
was a lifetime of training, a lifetime of effort, | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
a lifetime of hard graft, | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
all put into one moment, | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
and for it to be taken away at the last second. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
That's why, you know, it was uncontrollable | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
and that's why it was raw emotion. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
It really is a dream come true, | 0:12:11 | 0:12:12 | |
and it's taken a while but it's starting to sink in a little bit. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
And I have my moments, maybe when I'm driving my car, | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
it just suddenly sinks in and I get a bit emotional again. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
But it's been absolutely fantastic since. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
Absolutely amazing. I can't believe it, like... | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Oh, I'm just so happy! | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
I just can't believe I've won an Olympic medal. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
Yeah, just... | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
..speechless. I just can't believe it! | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
Can you put it into words now, what that achievement was like? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
Erm, I think it was just so much emotion going through | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
me at one point. It was fantastic. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
There was so much happiness, pride... | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
A little bit sad that it was all over. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
Just absolute, kind of, elation. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
What's next for you? | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
Getting back on the trampoline is my next step... | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
or my next leap or jump. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
But then, after that, the World Championships | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
at the end of next year - they're my next large goal. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
British Championships, qualification for that event. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
And it's a stand-alone competition, | 0:13:05 | 0:13:06 | |
so I'd quite like to do well in that. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
So it's kind of just getting back up to fitness, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
um, learning some new skills, putting them into my routine, | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
so just improving and seeing where it can take me, really. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
I just want to find out where my limits and my boundaries are | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
and just enjoy the journey for the next four years. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
In Rio, it was more kind of a personal battle, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
overcoming my surgery and injuries, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
and it was really, really tough to get to that start line. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
In some ways, it was more special to do it that second time. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
I think, the next two years, I've got to try some different things, | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
experiment with a few kind of different distances of racing. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
And like we said, some longer-distance kind of stuff. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
But, of course, Tokyo is still in the back of my mind | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
and, in two years' time, this time in 2018, | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
I'm going to have to decide whether it's full steam ahead for Tokyo | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
or full steam ahead for the longer kind of racing. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
As we've already said, it was a record-breaking foreign Olympics | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
for Great Britain in Brazil, | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
but who had the biggest impact on the athletes? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
The next award is for Team GB Coach Of The Year. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
Behind every great athlete, you know, | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
they say that you've got a great coach behind you. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
-Yes, they say that. -They do. -Good. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
And, you know, they should because it's true. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
This next award goes to the coach whose hard work and dedication | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
helped their athletes' dreams come true. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
Celebrate and enjoy, we stick to what we do. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
The gold medal can be won now. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
The story of this team is the personality of the team, | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
how they want to work for one another. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
If they keep doing that...they work for one another, | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
we'll be in good shape. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:35 | |
-COMMENTATOR: -That's the golden goal! | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
Great Britain are the Olympic champions and they | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
are on top of the world. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
Danny Kerry is on the pitch to celebrate. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
11 years I've kind of being doing this job and I've grown up | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
with these people, and I just can't even begin to describe the pride. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
And they should be proud of themselves - | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
they have just been immense. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
I'm very proud of the girls, they've been sensational, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
and actually what they've done after the Games and since, | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
and how they've been getting out to the hockey community | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
and inspiring the next generation, so, yeah, really proud. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
Really, really proud. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
We saw, in Rio, the wonderful team spirit that exists among your squad. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
I mean, where does your squad go from here? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
I mean, do you keep them all? Do some stop? How does it work? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
Yeah, some are definitely stopping there, and they're right to do that. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
They've given an awful lot to the sport | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
and they'll go on to pastures new. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
The good news is I've spent the last two months | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
looking at the next group | 0:15:33 | 0:15:34 | |
and I'm quietly optimistic about what's coming through. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
I think we've got quite an exciting four years ahead of us. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
It's absolutely a dream come true. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
Obviously, it's been a lifelong dream to get first and second | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
at the Olympic Games, we didn't quite do it in London, | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
and I crossed the finish line, I said to Alistair, "We've done it." | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
So it's very, very special | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
and then I moved on quickly to other races, | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
so you didn't really have time to think about it, | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
but hopefully tonight, | 0:15:59 | 0:16:00 | |
it's a great opportunity to look back at the whole season. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
What are the plans for the future? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
We go to the Commonwealths in Gold Coast in 2018 | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
and then hopefully Olympic champion or medallist in Tokyo | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
so I'm very much focused on Olympic distances for the next four years. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
Four years ago, I was kind of sitting at home | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
wanting to be an Olympian and now I'm here as part of Team GB | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
celebrating our success in Rio, | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
not only as part of the team but as a medallist, | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
so it takes a bit of getting used to | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
but, definitely, it's going to be such an amazing night | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
to reunite with all of our team-mates that, well, | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
some of whom we haven't seen since the Games. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
It meant so much to us, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:32 | |
not only because we were kind of forcing ourselves | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
onto the top tier of female sprinting but, at the same time, | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
we'd worked so unbelievably hard for that. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
I mean, we'd been meeting up since January, been practising, we've been | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
altering our schedules to make sure that we had the time to practise | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
cos we knew that we had a unique opportunity with the talent | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
that we have in the UK right now, and with Rio being, well, | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
the Games were in the summer, so we really, really worked hard. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
It was one of those moments where you work for something | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
and then you get it, and we were so unbelievably happy. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
What went into winning that? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
A lot of hard work, sweat, blood, | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
tears, laughter, happiness, | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
but, yeah, all in all, | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
it was an emotional medal, that's for sure. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
What were your other highlights at the Games? | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
Making new friends from other sports. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
I'm really friendly with Joe, the slalom canoeist. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
We're arranging a little shooting get-together soon. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
I can't see me trying the slalom canoe just yet, | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
I'll have to go for the flat stuff first of all but, yeah, | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
it's been great there meeting all the other athletes | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
from all the other sports and getting to know them. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Yeah, making new friends definitely is the highlight. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
Gold medals for Laura Trott and Nicola Adams, | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
just two of the many fantastic moments from Rio 2016, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
but the next award is the BBC Moment Of The Games. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
You might have seen this one once or twice on telly. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
It's the first time that Great Britain's women have ever | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
made it into the final, and they've done so in such style. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
This has been a truly historic day for British women's sport. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
The two teams have produced a dream final. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
The golden opportunity. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
The hockey history-makers! | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
That will be one of my moments of Rio. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
Anybody that's been tuned in watching that on a Friday night, | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
that is something else. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
We definitely weren't expecting it, it's a massive surprise, | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
and I think getting the Public's Choice award was amazing | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
because, obviously, the public have voted for it | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
so that's super-special and, yeah, | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
getting the Moment of the Olympics as well is incredible, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
and Danny rightly deserved to get the Coach Of The Year award | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
but, yeah, it's quite unbelievable that hockey got three awards here | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
when there were so many fantastic athletes as part of Team GB | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
that competed in Rio. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
What kind of impact do you think that gold medal's going to have | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
on hockey as a whole and inspiring more youngsters to get involved? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
All of us have seen it first-hand. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
We've all been at hockey clubs and schools all over the country | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
and actually I went to one the weekend before last, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
and I got a card off a little girl and it said, | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
"I want to go to the Olympics and win a gold medal just like you did. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
"This is the reason I play hockey." | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
And we've had so many messages just exactly the same as that, | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
and that has been THE best thing since the Olympics, | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
the amount of kids, youngsters, girls, boys, | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
people of all ages actually that have started playing hockey | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
or restarted playing hockey because of what we did at the Olympics | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
and that's super-special. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
Waking up the next day with that medal under my pillow, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
I was like, "Oh, my God, it's actually still there!" | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
I was pinching myself a little bit, I thought, | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
"No, it's real and now I've got to go out and support the other guys | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
"and try and get them a gold as well." | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
What does the future hold? I mean, you want to be defending that title, | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
and I'm sure winning some more European and world honours? | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
Yeah, people say to me, "Where do you find the motivation because | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
"obviously your dream was to win the Olympic Gold medal and you've | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
"done that now, so where's the motivation coming from?" | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
For me the motivation comes from nobody has ever done it twice in my | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
category, so that's a new aim. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
You've got to reassess, re-evaluate and obviously work towards Tokyo | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
and to try and defend that title, which will be... | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
It's going to be tight, like it was in Rio, | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
so got to really start pushing on and making those marginal gains, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
but it is exciting. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
I don't think words could ever do | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
that feeling justice. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
I think it showed in our reaction | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
and laughter and how we enjoyed | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
that moment, how it felt. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
All you had to do in Rio was finish that race in the 470, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
what was going through your mind at that time? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
It was awful. I absolutely hated it. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
You just think anything that can go wrong will go wrong. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
Just anxious, just want it done. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
Yeah, it wasn't a very nice feeling. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:48 | |
Obviously the feeling of almost winning was nice but, | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
it was just stressful. I was so, so relieved when it was over. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
It's a long four years, a lot of work to go to Tokyo, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
what are the plans from now? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
Yeah, it is. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Saskia is retiring, which leaves me alone, which is really sad. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
We've had an amazing six years sailing together. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
We've had an amazing journey together so I'm trying new | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
things, new boats and, yes, on a crew search, to find my next crew. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:15 | |
Max Whitlock is now a double Olympic champion. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
You know, I haven't even sat in my living room and watched the whole | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
thing back yet. I really need to make time to do that, | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
but it still feels so surreal. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
It feels crazy that it's all finished, all done and | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
everyone is looking forward to the next thing that's coming round. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
It's an amazing feeling knowing what we've done. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
How would you describe the stature that we have now in the world game? | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
By an absolute mile, it's the best place we've ever been in. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
We can go forward actually being known as one of the world's | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
best teams, and we've proved that so many times now | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
so we can go forward with so much confidence. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
Look at we've done, look at the experience we've brought up | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
and move forward with that. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
There's so much more we can do, hopefully. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
I always, as you know, success breeds success. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
So hopefully what we've done can make the younger gymnasts | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
believe what is really possible. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
We've already seen so much success celebrated tonight but the | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
final award is a particularly special one. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
It's the Olympians' Olympian so who from Team GB excelled more | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
than the rest? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:21 | |
This is our final award of the night, the Olympians' Olympian, | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
and the only people to vote in this award were | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
the competitors at the Rio Games, so this is the athletes' athlete. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:33 | |
-Who did you vote for, Tom? -Well, that would be telling, wouldn't it? | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
OK, just so you know, I'd have voted for you too. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
If I could come out with anything, any medal of any kind here, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
it would probably be my greatest achievement. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
This is a sensational performance! | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
Great Britain's Thornley and Grainger getting Olympic | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
silver medal. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
This performance stands testament to the power of self-belief and | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
sheer hard work. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
To be standing here finally in the Rio sunshine with a big medal round | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
-our necks has made it all worthwhile. -Tokyo? | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
Mum and Dad, I promise, I'll never put you through that again. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
Of all the awards to win, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
what an incredible award, when it's voted by your own peers. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
That just makes it so, so special, I can't say enough. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
This team has been my life for 20 years, | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
being part of the British Olympic team, so to be voted for | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
by the team to be...this award is very special. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
I think the Rio medal for me was the hardest one of my five to win. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
We were both determined to come away with a good result and | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
our coaches believed in us and our team believed in us. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
I think once we believed in each other, then we were in the | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
right place for it. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:46 | |
What I'm not hearing is you saying | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
a Sir Steve Redgrave, "shoot me if I get back in that boat." | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
I genuinely feel so lucky to have done this for 20 years. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
I did five Olympic Games, that's more than most people get | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
a chance to do - and successfully as well - so I do feel within myself | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
I know it's time for other people to chase that dream now. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:03 | |
I'm very, very content with my career. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
So the women's hockey team, the big winners on the night with | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
three awards underlining what a huge achievement that gold medal was. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
Before we go, let's head back down to Meg | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
to find out who, in her eyes, stole the show on the red carpet. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
Everyone just looked absolutely amazing and it's so tough | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
to pick a favourite, but for women I have to say Sam Murray. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
Her dress was just absolutely knockout and she looked like | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
an absolute ten out of ten. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:36 | |
Her make-up was flawless as well | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
and she matched her lipstick to her dress. She just looked beautiful. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
For guys, it has to be Lutalo Muhammad because he looks | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
so dapper and he's so charming and lovely as well. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
So those are my two top style picks of the night. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
There may still be a few years to go to till the Tokyo Games | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
in 2020, but there's only just over 12 months until the next | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
Hopefully plenty more to celebrate then. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
