:00:53. > :00:57.end. For some it brought the success they have been dreaming of

:01:21. > :01:31.here in London. -- world's best. Witness something you have never
:01:31. > :01:34.
:01:34. > :01:44.seen before. The most amazing show on earth. It is the most amazing
:01:44. > :01:51.
:01:51. > :02:01.show on earth. Won't you come and play? Sit back and relax, fasten
:02:01. > :02:01.
:02:01. > :02:06.your seatbelts. It is going to be a bumpy ride. Today we will revisit a
:02:06. > :02:10.select group of our Olympic dreamers to see how they fared. We
:02:10. > :02:17.will start with a man determined to make victory. He set out onto the
:02:17. > :02:21.track for the 10,000 metres. Mo Farah. Some athletes are happy to
:02:21. > :02:26.be the best in Britain. Some would be delighted to be the best in
:02:26. > :02:30.Europe. For Mo Farah it was not enough. He knew to become the best
:02:30. > :02:34.in the world he would have to change his whole lifestyle. You do
:02:34. > :02:43.not become a double Olympic champion by doing exactly the same
:02:43. > :02:46.as everybody else. Were the first changes he made was to start to
:02:46. > :02:52.concentrate exclusively on the track after the disappointment of
:02:52. > :03:00.not making the final at the Beijing Olympics he came out in the winter
:03:00. > :03:05.of 2009 a different athlete. He was learning how to win. Mo Farah takes
:03:05. > :03:10.the gold for Great Britain for the first time. By the summer of 2010
:03:10. > :03:14.he had become the dominant force in European distance running. With
:03:15. > :03:18.that came a new level of confidence. There was one bit of the jigsaw
:03:18. > :03:24.still missing. Who would be the person who will help him repeat
:03:24. > :03:31.that success as a world level? The answer lay on the other side of the
:03:31. > :03:36.Atlantic Ocean. The man was a former American marathon champion
:03:36. > :03:41.and now recognised as one of the great distance coaches. A bold move
:03:41. > :03:45.for Mo Farah. It affected all of those around him. It was a high
:03:45. > :03:50.risk strategy, one that most athletes would not take at that
:03:50. > :03:56.stage of their careers. He had already been successful. Here he
:03:56. > :04:03.was, asking his family to move to another country. He was going to a
:04:03. > :04:08.coach he knew very little about. By the beginning of the 2011 season it
:04:08. > :04:12.was already evident that the move was successful. All that remained
:04:12. > :04:22.was for Mo Farah to get on the track at the place which was now
:04:22. > :04:23.
:04:23. > :04:26.home to him in his first big 10,000 metres of the year. After becoming
:04:26. > :04:33.the world champion in 2011 the expectations for the London
:04:33. > :04:36.Olympics were higher. However, it would not all be plain sailing. One
:04:36. > :04:41.or two indifferent performances were followed by a group of
:04:41. > :04:46.different athletes coming out of Ethiopia and Kenya. It was an
:04:46. > :04:51.early-season performance from a Mo Farah. It was not even televised.
:04:51. > :04:55.It was two races in 20 minutes. I was confident that the 10,000
:04:55. > :04:59.metres was his best chance of winning a gold medal. I could not
:04:59. > :05:05.give you any predictions or guarantees. We all knew that it
:05:06. > :05:15.would come down to the last lap. Has he got enough? He is ticking
:05:15. > :05:22.again. It is going to be a glorious win. Mo Farah for Great Britain. It
:05:22. > :05:28.is gold. That was it. He was the Olympic champion. What about the
:05:28. > :05:32.5,000 metres? There were doubts. He looked tired in the heats. Many of
:05:32. > :05:38.his competitors we had fresh legs. They all knew what his tactics were
:05:38. > :05:42.going to be. As we sat down in the commentary box, once the first four
:05:42. > :05:48.laps went by all those doubts disappear. We all know what
:05:48. > :05:53.happened in the end. He has got to find something extra. Come on, Mo
:05:53. > :06:03.Farah. He is going to get there. He is going to make its two gold
:06:03. > :06:06.
:06:06. > :06:16.medals for Great Britain. Beautiful. He is the double Olympic champion.
:06:16. > :06:27.
:06:27. > :06:32.The double Olympic champion. I said I want to win at London. It will
:06:32. > :06:40.never happen to me again. To 7 that podium with everybody watching me
:06:40. > :06:48.is amazing. A teenage superstar from North Wales is the Olympic
:06:48. > :06:53.champion. It is obviously about hard-working and were too willing
:06:53. > :06:57.to put into wood. Most importantly it is about being under pressure at
:06:57. > :07:07.the Olympic Games. The greatest sailing Olympian in the history of
:07:07. > :07:12.
:07:12. > :07:19.the Games. I pushed myself so hard. If I get on that platform I will be
:07:19. > :07:26.enjoying it. I will have the biggest smile in the world. Come on,
:07:26. > :07:30.Natasha. Yes. Well done. An excellent lift. She came here
:07:30. > :07:36.determined. She did not want to bomb out of this competition. She
:07:36. > :07:40.will be delighted with that. In a game is packed with them to stick
:07:40. > :07:45.plumbers, women's boxing stood out as it made its debut. Also making
:07:45. > :07:54.her debut was Nicola Adams. Already a world silver-medallist, could she
:07:54. > :08:01.go one step further? I knew I was up against it. I was confident in
:08:01. > :08:07.myself, I thought, this is my dream and my time. The bell rang and do
:08:07. > :08:12.without. I did the business. Nicola Adams is the Olympic champion. She

:08:24. > :08:31.on one of the biggest stages in the world and got that gold medal, it
:08:31. > :08:36.is like a fairy trail -- fairy-tale ending for me. Such a golden moment.
:08:36. > :08:42.It has gone a bit mental with the media? It has. I have been talking
:08:42. > :08:47.to the media since I won. I cannot believe how much support from the
:08:47. > :08:52.nation I have had. Talk to me about the build-up to the fight. Coming
:08:52. > :08:59.out with the crowd and that this fear I was sucking it up. It was a

:10:02. > :10:09.were a few famous faces. Everybody said that David Cameron was there,
:10:09. > :10:17.Kate Middleton and Chris Evans. There were so many people there to

:14:00. > :14:06.Keep the swing. Keep the focus. He is up, beautifully controlled. A
:14:06. > :14:14.little flourish to come off. Goodness me. He did not let anybody
:14:14. > :14:21.down there. It is a tired. Because the executions door was slightly
