:00:16. > :00:39.Come on! That is your court. That is my side? Get the ball over the net.
:00:40. > :00:46.OK, OK. Ooh! Ooh! Come on Cashy! Yeah. I am... A-ha been?
:00:47. > :01:16.LAUGHTER. Hello, and welcome to Orlando
:01:17. > :01:19.and the 2016 Invictus Games, It's the penultimate day
:01:20. > :01:24.of our coverage of the 2016 Invictus Games, and in a moment
:01:25. > :01:27.we'll see our UK doubles team take on stiffer competition
:01:28. > :01:29.than Tim Henman and Pat Cash Most games in wheelchair rugby end
:01:30. > :01:33.up being crunch matches - And we'll be finding out how this
:01:34. > :01:39.man's been enjoying his week. Prince Harry will be here,
:01:40. > :01:41.live in the studio. Plus we'll be finding out
:01:42. > :01:44.the history of this. As ever, you can find out more
:01:45. > :01:50.about the Invictus Games and follow more in depth action
:01:51. > :01:54.on our live web page. Wheelchair tennis is celebrating
:01:55. > :01:56.its 40th birthday this year, and one of its stars,
:01:57. > :02:08.with over 68 titles, is Welcome to the show. This is a new
:02:09. > :02:13.sport for Invictus of course buzz it's a sport that is growing in
:02:14. > :02:17.popularity all over the world It is. There is over 140 tournaments
:02:18. > :02:22.through the world. It is integrated into Grand Slam events and now it is
:02:23. > :02:27.here. The rules similar to conventional tennis. Have a look a
:02:28. > :02:35.at this. Like ten this with an extra bounce. It is better to hit it on
:02:36. > :02:50.the first bounce. Serving is just the same. Good for
:02:51. > :02:54.manoeuvrability and speed. In terms of playing at the highest
:02:55. > :02:57.level what is needed? Hand eye co-ordination, moving of the chair,
:02:58. > :03:01.the biggest thing is being able to move with the racket in your hand,
:03:02. > :03:06.but once you get used to it, it the same as tennis, you get used to the
:03:07. > :03:10.top-spins the slices and your serve. So many different chair, we see a
:03:11. > :03:14.different one in the rug by, to the basketball, is the tennis children
:03:15. > :03:17.especially adapted? Slightly differents with the rugby and the
:03:18. > :03:21.basketball children they have protection round the front because
:03:22. > :03:27.people bump into you, in tennis not so much. They sit slightly higher
:03:28. > :03:32.you can get better reinvestigation. How difficult is it to wheel with
:03:33. > :03:36.one hand? That is why you hold the racket in your hand to hold and push
:03:37. > :03:42.at the aim time. It is an art form in itself. Excellent. Like watching
:03:43. > :03:45.it. Thank you so much. I know the big smile on his face is not just
:03:46. > :03:49.because he is having a good time. He is a Leicester City fan. I knew I
:03:50. > :03:51.would spot one out here, he was up there today, I thought there he is.
:03:52. > :03:53.Very important to mention that. Jayant was courtside earlier
:03:54. > :04:08.with commentator Mike Sewell It is a final day of the wheelchair
:04:09. > :04:12.tennis. The UK team duo Andy McErlean and his partner fought hard
:04:13. > :04:17.to win the semi, they go in the final against New Zealand. Let us
:04:18. > :04:25.get straight to the action. Sherriff serving to Krol.
:04:26. > :04:30.It is long from Sherriff and another break point for the UK.
:04:31. > :04:32.That was a fantastic return by Alex, good depth on the return, pinning
:04:33. > :05:07.him back. Excellent play from Glenn Barnes, he
:05:08. > :05:11.almost saw that second shot before it hit the fist one. It was pure
:05:12. > :05:14.tactic, he knew that Andrew was copping in so he lobbed him to get
:05:15. > :05:15.the position at the net. What a beautiful put away though.
:05:16. > :05:36.Manufacture We are at deuce. Sherriff with the winner. He is
:05:37. > :05:39.starting to read those deep shots by Andy and getting the confidence to
:05:40. > :05:51.swing his racket at the ball rather than just trying to push it.
:05:52. > :06:00.Good. Sherriff struggling to get to that. Takes it back to deuce.
:06:01. > :06:04.The tactics from both teams seems to be hit the first one deep, to keep
:06:05. > :06:16.them back, then hit that little second one shorter.
:06:17. > :06:22.Just signed the baseline from Krol. And it gives the UK another break
:06:23. > :06:28.point for a 3-0 lead. Think it is with the... Again, it is
:06:29. > :06:30.the depth keeping them back the whole time.
:06:31. > :06:54.Absolutely key in wheelchair tennis. Oh! Not the best executed lobby Dave
:06:55. > :06:58.Sherriff an it was put away, rather convincingly by Andy McErlean for a
:06:59. > :07:03.3-0 lead in this final. New Zealand did pull one game back,
:07:04. > :07:11.we join the action again with the UK pair leading 4-1.
:07:12. > :07:16.Krol receiving, winning the first point, 4-1 to 2 UK.
:07:17. > :07:33.This would really pile the pressure on if they could make it 5-1.
:07:34. > :07:40.That is the pressure that Glenn Barnes puts on you, when you serve
:07:41. > :07:56.to him you need to get your first serve in here, but... 15-15.
:07:57. > :08:02.Lots of top-spin on that from Andy McErlean He saw Glenn moving towards
:08:03. > :08:07.the centre, to cut off the pass from Dave Sherriff and hit it by Glenn
:08:08. > :08:13.Barnes, past his backhand side. That is a lovely top-spin.
:08:14. > :08:26.Another point as well, to the UK. Big serve by Alex there.
:08:27. > :08:32.40-10. Point to make it 5-1 and they are one game grey the gold medal.
:08:33. > :08:38.-- game away from the gold medal. And it is 5-1 to the UK.
:08:39. > :08:59.Sherriff. Serving to Krol. Bit of fortune off the net call for
:09:00. > :09:03.Barnes. You have to love those, there is no apology given by Glenn
:09:04. > :09:05.either. When you are 5-1 down in a gold medal match you are not
:09:06. > :09:29.necessarily going to apologise. Sherriff serving to McErlean from
:09:30. > :09:40.the advantage court. It is long from McErlean.
:09:41. > :09:50.It into the net from Sherriff. Again, Alex to me, most dominant
:09:51. > :09:53.player out there, he is taking the ball early, putting the pressure on
:09:54. > :10:10.for saying, OK, hit it by me then. Right into the body of Sherriff from
:10:11. > :10:13.McErlean. Takes it to 30-30. It is worst shot, trying to get yourself
:10:14. > :10:18.out of the way. You have no space for your arm to swing, this return,
:10:19. > :10:34.it is directly at you, what can you do? Sherriff serving to Krol.
:10:35. > :10:44.The UK have a break point but more importantly, match point.
:10:45. > :10:57.Gold medal point. Wow. Sherriff serving to McErlean, to
:10:58. > :11:01.save the match. Just trying to drop that one short, Barnes was already
:11:02. > :11:06.on the way to get it. He was steaming in there, Andy, I
:11:07. > :11:10.don't know whether it was because of his arm but he chopped under the
:11:11. > :11:12.ball rather than hitting it with top-spin there. Deuce.
:11:13. > :11:36.So one gold medal point saved. Lifted high by Barnes to the back of
:11:37. > :11:39.the court, which McErlean couldn't deal with. Now a chance for New
:11:40. > :11:45.Zealand. It is interesting that Glenn is trying to take over, from
:11:46. > :11:49.the back of the court. Calling a lot of the shots now, and saying mine,
:11:50. > :12:02.and moving it round, a lot than he has been doing so far.
:12:03. > :12:08.Sherriff not happy with that. We might have to have a challenge
:12:09. > :12:13.there. That is the great thing about clay,
:12:14. > :12:17.you can see where the ball land, if there was a real discrepancy they
:12:18. > :12:22.could ask the umpire to come down and check the mark. McEnroe would
:12:23. > :12:42.say there was chalk dust. What would they say? His would probably scream.
:12:43. > :12:48.It is long from Barnes, just a glance towards the umpire, and we
:12:49. > :12:53.are back to another gold medal point for the UK. He hit him on the head
:12:54. > :13:02.as well. He knew that was an opportunity to get back and save it,
:13:03. > :13:07.but, gold medal point number two. Sherriff and Barnes looking to save
:13:08. > :13:13.the match. Save the medal. Otherwise it is silver for them.
:13:14. > :13:27.First serve is long. And a second serve is wide. And the
:13:28. > :13:32.UK have won gold in the wheelchair tennis at the Invictus Games. You
:13:33. > :13:35.can see how delighted they were. Congratulations gentlemen, a gold
:13:36. > :13:41.medal at the games. How does that mean to you? It means the word. We
:13:42. > :13:44.worked really hard behind the sceneness and we didn't leave
:13:45. > :13:48.anything out. You are dancing, is that part of your celebration?
:13:49. > :13:51.Definitely, there is a lot of training sessions on court but at
:13:52. > :13:56.night-time we like to have a beer, a bit of a dance and it is all part
:13:57. > :14:00.and part of winning. Dancing Andy is off at the basketball so Alex is
:14:01. > :14:05.here to hold it up for the team, and your gold medal round your neck as
:14:06. > :14:11.well. Huge congratulations. Thanks. A great crowd out there. Magnificent
:14:12. > :14:16.atmosphere Centre Court, with the crowds cheering up, for the game.
:14:17. > :14:20.For you there was no tennis at the 2014 Invictus Games, now there is,
:14:21. > :14:25.how much personally does it mean to you to get to perform here? It is
:14:26. > :14:30.huge, I love tennis, big ambassador of it. I went to the 2014 Games as a
:14:31. > :14:34.spectator and wished the tennis was there. Lucky enough, 2016, we are
:14:35. > :14:42.here and doing it. Are you going to keep doing it? Yes, You think they
:14:43. > :14:47.should? . Yes four players out there, but, Alex was the best out
:14:48. > :14:52.there. You are not just saying that because he is beside you. I told him
:14:53. > :15:04.that after the game. One bounce, superb. HS2.
:15:05. > :15:09.It is massive, to play well you need that confidence and it has to rub
:15:10. > :15:16.off in everyday life. I am feeling good. It is a good thing. I know you
:15:17. > :15:21.are a winter sport aficionado, will you push Prince Harry to get a
:15:22. > :15:28.winter Invictus Games? Wood I would love that. If we keep pushing him,
:15:29. > :15:33.he can do it for us. Enjoy the closing ceremony. Wheelchair tennis
:15:34. > :15:38.is just one of the sports that Luke Sinnott is turning his hand to after
:15:39. > :15:44.a double amputation and yesterday he won another gold on the track. He
:15:45. > :15:46.and his wife Sophie gave us an insight into what for them is an
:15:47. > :16:09.average day. It is a bit late, are you ready?
:16:10. > :16:14.There is no doubt that getting blown up will turn your life upside down.
:16:15. > :16:17.At first I was trying to turn the clock back, I thought it was a
:16:18. > :16:23.horrible nightmare and that I would wake up and it would not be true.
:16:24. > :16:26.The minute I heard, I was first hoping he would survive the journey
:16:27. > :16:35.home and then hoping he would wake up from the coma and then about him
:16:36. > :16:39.keeping his arm. That is all we had. We were engaged at the time, we were
:16:40. > :16:42.supposed to be getting married in the summer. We had a honeymoon
:16:43. > :16:47.planned where we would go to China and he was going to be a helicopter
:16:48. > :16:53.pilot and none of that happened. We both wish we had had more time. We
:16:54. > :17:00.should have gone on more walks, more mountains to climb, places we wanted
:17:01. > :17:05.to go. We used to walk arm in arm or hand in hand and we don't do that
:17:06. > :17:10.any more, if he put his arm around me, he would chip, if we held hands,
:17:11. > :17:16.he would almost certainly stumble. Sometimes in a relationship that is
:17:17. > :17:19.important, it may sound crazy. It is incredibly hard to admit you are
:17:20. > :17:22.disabled when you are such a young and active person but you realise
:17:23. > :17:30.early on that you happy accept it and move on. You have to be the one
:17:31. > :17:34.to see what you can do next in your life from now. Sport is really
:17:35. > :17:40.important to him, it was a big part before he was injured. It is a
:17:41. > :17:46.bigger part now. I think it is more of a lifeline now. It is something
:17:47. > :17:50.that enables him to be the man he was. A lot of people might
:17:51. > :17:53.underestimate how capable they are overcoming something like this and
:17:54. > :17:55.getting on with life and finding new things in life that will make you
:17:56. > :18:09.want to get up and go. When I think back five years when I
:18:10. > :18:12.first got injured and how everyone was looking at me and didn't know
:18:13. > :18:16.what to say but now they see me running and think it is fantastic
:18:17. > :18:21.and they are proud that I am getting on with my life. That is so
:18:22. > :18:29.important. As long as you keep that positive attitude, there is not much
:18:30. > :18:33.you can't achieve. The way he healed was very much to do with the
:18:34. > :18:37.positive people around him. I was worried that becoming a dad would
:18:38. > :18:41.suddenly disable him again and maybe set him back because there would be
:18:42. > :18:45.a lot of things he couldn't do but it has been a huge part of
:18:46. > :18:51.motivating him. They are a bit older now and they have ways to do stuff
:18:52. > :18:56.together. Luke does more daring things with him than I do, they go
:18:57. > :19:03.off and fall of things and climb things. He always has them out on
:19:04. > :19:10.the surfboard or out on the water, that is the amazing thing. There is
:19:11. > :19:14.always a danger that a disability can dominate your life. It is so
:19:15. > :19:19.important for us we don't let it defines who we are and that we don't
:19:20. > :19:27.stop ourselves from having fun and we live life. Thanks so much again
:19:28. > :19:31.to Luke and Sophie. All week we have seen athletes competing with a
:19:32. > :19:35.righty of prosthetics and there have been advances in their design and
:19:36. > :19:39.construction so here to tell us more is Sheila Clemens, who specialises
:19:40. > :19:45.in amputee rehabilitation, Ben Steele is here with a medal around
:19:46. > :19:50.his neck and a prosthetics engineer, Albert Manero. We see the egg leg
:19:51. > :19:55.here, things have changed massively since then but they were very slow
:19:56. > :19:59.to change with technology? Absolutely, during the American
:20:00. > :20:04.Civil War, there were 70,000 injured men and they went through amputation
:20:05. > :20:08.surgery. Many of them did not have access to leg makers and they were
:20:09. > :20:11.difficult to make. Many of them went home to farms and they would fashion
:20:12. > :20:18.something like this for themselves out of wood or if they were skilled,
:20:19. > :20:21.out of leather. There was not a lot of progress in prosthetics until
:20:22. > :20:25.World War II when we saw the government put a lot of funding into
:20:26. > :20:30.Rosseti development and allowing America to catch up to where Europe
:20:31. > :20:35.was at the time. Between then and the modern day, they have used
:20:36. > :20:38.pneumatics, hydraulics, fluids and the microchips that have been
:20:39. > :20:45.incorporated into the prosthetics themselves. What has always been the
:20:46. > :20:51.engine foot change in this, has been war. You are the use of the
:20:52. > :20:55.prosthetic, with your leg on, tell us about the limitations of this
:20:56. > :21:01.modern leg? I am sure you will be glad you don't have this one on. The
:21:02. > :21:07.limitations of this leg that I am wearing now, there is not a lot of
:21:08. > :21:14.limitation to be honest. There is no ankle movement, which you obviously
:21:15. > :21:20.need and it helps going up and down slopes and it is also not fully
:21:21. > :21:26.waterproof so I can't just jump in the swimming pool. What about where
:21:27. > :21:31.it attaches to your leg, often we hear people say that it chafes or
:21:32. > :21:39.quite a sweaty experience, how do you counter that? You counter that
:21:40. > :21:48.with changing stump socks regularly and that sort of thing. When we are
:21:49. > :21:54.out here in Florida, it makes it, it can get a little difficult but you
:21:55. > :21:58.grin and bear it really. I know a prosthetics wearer as well and I
:21:59. > :22:04.know what it is like in this heat but for the athletes, does it make
:22:05. > :22:11.it much tougher? Yes, the sport I have been doing is wheelchair rugby
:22:12. > :22:16.so most of us don't have them for that but it gives you a chance. Let
:22:17. > :22:21.us look at what Albert has been working on, you are the designer,
:22:22. > :22:28.tell us about it and how it is working? Our laboratory has been
:22:29. > :22:31.trying to do this forward using 3-D printing on the industrial side.
:22:32. > :22:38.Developing the EMG driven arm for children and the benefit of the low
:22:39. > :22:45.cost of $350,000 is that we can give them away to every child we can.
:22:46. > :22:50.Prosthetics are so expensive for the average person. We hope these new
:22:51. > :22:54.manufacturing methods can lower the cost and we can help children along
:22:55. > :23:01.the way. There has been progress on this, there is an ankle, an
:23:02. > :23:12.opportunity to take a closer look at that, ?30,000, that ankle? I think
:23:13. > :23:16.it is dollars. This filters down to general use am hopefully, the
:23:17. > :23:20.technology. Absolutely, these things are covered by insurance in the
:23:21. > :23:25.United States as long as we as physical therapists can prove that
:23:26. > :23:30.the user needs it and it gives them a better quality of life. Ankles are
:23:31. > :23:35.one of those things, a lot of money put into knees but for those below
:23:36. > :23:39.the knee amputees, they struggle with slopes and services and a lot
:23:40. > :23:43.of people would love to see these coming into the mainstream
:23:44. > :23:48.prosthetic clinics with Chamakh they are available, it is a matter having
:23:49. > :23:53.the user try one out with what they are used to. They are not for
:23:54. > :24:00.everybody but they provide benefits to people, especially on uneven to
:24:01. > :24:04.rain. It is user specific. You talk about changing the sock around and
:24:05. > :24:09.making it more comfortable workers of the rubbing but this is something
:24:10. > :24:14.you have been working on as well for the hot climates? Being in Florida
:24:15. > :24:18.all year round it is very hot and humid. We found the best success
:24:19. > :24:22.pockets is sports equipment, compression sleeves, things like
:24:23. > :24:28.that that are designed for sweat and keep it as everything as possible.
:24:29. > :24:33.What about the water in the future? We have been working on
:24:34. > :24:37.waterproofing, with the electronics but we are making progress. Most
:24:38. > :24:43.amputees will be delighted that you are going to make improvements in
:24:44. > :24:49.those areas. What a rewarding field to work in as well, and you guys are
:24:50. > :24:53.on the cutting edge of it. Well done in that match, I was there last
:24:54. > :25:00.night, and incredible atmosphere and I know you are disappointed not to
:25:01. > :25:08.go for the Gold but congratulations. There is always a next time. Bring
:25:09. > :25:13.on Toronto. More sporting action now and the wheelchair rugby team have
:25:14. > :25:19.been looking to repeat their gold success in 2014. Fighting spirit is
:25:20. > :25:25.needed in the sport that is also known as murder ball. Exhilarating,
:25:26. > :25:39.hard-hitting, rugby and basketball combined. Good at it. My name is
:25:40. > :25:48.Paul Jenkins and I am tactical coach, fitness coach and everything
:25:49. > :25:53.under the sun coach. He has good reach and stamina. It is a sport
:25:54. > :25:58.where you smash people as hard as you can and use brute force, the
:25:59. > :26:03.best thing I have done in ages. Charlie Walker is one of our best
:26:04. > :26:12.players, top all handler and he controls the game. Chris Middleton.
:26:13. > :26:17.His potential was second to none. I am like a little terrier. Ben Steele
:26:18. > :26:24.is the dump truck, he hits somebody and both their wheels came off their
:26:25. > :26:31.chair which was amazing. Handsome Harvey knows where to be on the
:26:32. > :26:39.court and causes a lot of problems. I am the ball-handler. He started
:26:40. > :26:44.thinking it was proper rugby. Now he has progressed into a really good
:26:45. > :26:52.player. He is good at kicking and has good speed and he knows the
:26:53. > :26:57.court. Stu Robinson, Captain. A good mobile player, good ball-handler and
:26:58. > :27:04.knows the place. The camaraderie is like they have that in the regiment.
:27:05. > :27:11.Four players on the court at any one time. You have 40 seconds to score
:27:12. > :27:15.from when you gain possession. You have 12 seconds to get out of your
:27:16. > :27:22.own half with the ball. The rest of the time is what you have two score
:27:23. > :27:33.a goal. You score a goal by crossing the goal-line with two wheels. You
:27:34. > :27:37.have two types of playing chair, and offensive chair and a defensive
:27:38. > :27:44.chair. Full on contact sport where hitting the wheelchair allowed. Very
:27:45. > :27:52.fast, end to end. We have the tea press, the shape of a T. The idea is
:27:53. > :27:57.to keep the opposition away from the ball. You have corner play where you
:27:58. > :28:03.isolate the corner to allow an easy goal. It is a good play if everyone
:28:04. > :28:08.is on the same page. There is nothing that compares to wheelchair
:28:09. > :28:15.rugby. I want to win. It is definitely worth a watch. The
:28:16. > :28:18.Fieldhouse bind us was ready to host some high octane action. In the
:28:19. > :28:25.first semifinal, USA were quick out of the blocks, racing to a 7-0 lead,
:28:26. > :28:31.Australia did hit back but the tone had been set and the hosts eased
:28:32. > :28:35.into the final. The second semifinal saw the defending champions UK face
:28:36. > :28:40.Denmark in a tighter affair. The difference was one man, Mark Peters,
:28:41. > :28:46.the speedy Dane proved too much for the UK, scoring 21 points with
:28:47. > :28:51.Denmark winning 31-26. No repeat of the gold from two years ago for the
:28:52. > :28:56.UK but there was still a bronze up for grabs. We join the match with
:28:57. > :29:00.the UK leading, Eddie Butler and Steve Brown are your commentators.
:29:01. > :29:03.COMMENTATOR: The shot clock counts down, they have 40 seconds to score
:29:04. > :29:21.a goal. Some power pushing their, Walker
:29:22. > :29:30.back into position. A thunderous attempt. You can see the difference
:29:31. > :29:36.here between the two teams approaches. Australia did not have
:29:37. > :29:41.much time to shape up and train and it is only their first second time
:29:42. > :29:44.playing together. Team UK have been training constantly in Birmingham
:29:45. > :29:52.for the last six months and that is starting to show. He cannot get the
:29:53. > :30:03.ball, Stuart Robinson can get it, a weaving run.
:30:04. > :30:09.Tanner looks up and nothing but red shirts in front of him. Struggled to
:30:10. > :30:22.get out of their own half. Tanner though, gets into the UK half.
:30:23. > :30:25.Try for Australia. Australia managed to put another
:30:26. > :30:29.point on the board before half-time but still trailed 22-3 at the break.
:30:30. > :30:36.And the second half had a similar feel to it as Team UK extended their
:30:37. > :30:41.lead to 26 points. It has been a strategically sound by
:30:42. > :30:49.UK, they have pinned Australia in this half. And in possession,
:30:50. > :30:53.Charlie Walker has done the complementary work, stop Australia
:30:54. > :30:59.and ciaoly walker scores. Oh boy. There he is again. Very very quick
:31:00. > :31:02.and rushed inbound. You have 20 seconds to inbound the ball and
:31:03. > :31:07.Australia seem to be rushing that a little.
:31:08. > :31:14.Fairly gripping semifinal against Denmark, but this is very one-sided.
:31:15. > :31:42.It is one way traffic. Aaron Dimble. Seraphina. Chris Middleton making
:31:43. > :31:49.himself a handful for Australia. He is in the way of everything. Very
:31:50. > :31:55.fast player. Middleton, to Walker and Middleton
:31:56. > :32:04.gets back involved. Staying with walker, making sure
:32:05. > :32:08.nobody gets in his way. The work ethic you can see of Chris
:32:09. > :32:13.Middleton is huge, he works very very hard for everything. Chasing it
:32:14. > :32:18.down, using that to his advantage. Tony, his pass, picked off by
:32:19. > :32:21.Tindall. And again Middleton, Middleton just,
:32:22. > :32:23.the heavy dueter work up in front of him.
:32:24. > :32:32.-- duty work up in front of him. Last minute of the game now.
:32:33. > :32:46.It is a ruthless performance by UK, they haven't sort of eased off at
:32:47. > :32:50.all. James Tanner. Finds Connolly. Back to Tanner.
:32:51. > :32:59.Are they going to get through here? I really hope they can get out of
:33:00. > :33:04.this half. Nav picks it off. But travels into his own half of the
:33:05. > :33:07.court, meaning he has gone backwards in play. Australia retain the ball.
:33:08. > :33:16.17 seconds left, see what they can do with it.
:33:17. > :33:23.And Australia are going to score the last try of the bronze final. They
:33:24. > :33:29.go up to four points. UK 42 in front.
:33:30. > :33:35.13 seconds to go. That is their time. Oh, yes, there
:33:36. > :33:41.is. I am sure he was going to slow down now, slow down, see the game
:33:42. > :33:48.out. Australia's wasn't the last try. And back to defend. Make sure
:33:49. > :33:53.the ball can't get back in. 47-4 UK lead.
:33:54. > :34:06.Connolly, launches it. Out it goes. Time is up. UK have won
:34:07. > :34:14.the bronze medal. Gold in London in 2014, bronze here at the Invictus
:34:15. > :34:16.Games, of 2016. We were frustrated with our
:34:17. > :34:20.performance against Denmark, we didn't do what we knee we could do.
:34:21. > :34:24.Australia were out there. Somebody was going to get a hiding. Someone
:34:25. > :34:28.was going to get taken out on them. You talk about your loss to Denmark
:34:29. > :34:32.in the semifinal, how hard was it to pick yourselves up for this game?
:34:33. > :34:37.Yes, we were angry with ourselves we were frustrated. With know we can
:34:38. > :34:41.play better. All credit to Denmark, they were a bet farmer. We could
:34:42. > :34:44.have pushed them closer, so we were angry and frustrated and wanted to
:34:45. > :34:47.prove a point to ourselves more than anything.
:34:48. > :34:51.And with us now, we have our wheelchair rugby experts Steve Brown
:34:52. > :34:55.and two of the UK team, with their bronze medal, congratulations to
:34:56. > :34:59.Stewart and Steve. I know you both wanted those medals for gold. We
:35:00. > :35:06.will come on to that in a moment. If you are going to get a bronze medal,
:35:07. > :35:13.you have an emphatic victory, it looks like you get rid of your
:35:14. > :35:18.frustration. Four tries that is unheard of: That doesn't happen. For
:35:19. > :35:22.you guys to go out there, put 48 past them, and let them score four
:35:23. > :35:26.was unreal. That is a record margin of victory, I think, isn't it.
:35:27. > :35:31.Absolutely. Which USA had managed to get. Now you have taken that off
:35:32. > :35:36.them. We had to get one thing over the Americans. Luckily we did. After
:35:37. > :35:41.being beaten by the Danes how determined were you to come back and
:35:42. > :35:44.get the medal? I think the game, the way we played against Denmark, it
:35:45. > :35:48.wasn't a true reflection of how we can play, and we kind of had to go
:35:49. > :35:53.back and pick ourselves up, and luckily we managed to put things
:35:54. > :35:56.right. Steven, in a way, you know, this shows how big the sport is
:35:57. > :36:00.getting, this is not just a two horse race here between the UK and
:36:01. > :36:03.the USA. This is growing in popularity, the Danes are getting
:36:04. > :36:08.stronger, I imagine Australia will go away feeling bruised after this
:36:09. > :36:14.and want to get better. Next year it will be even harder. I think we sort
:36:15. > :36:18.of underestimated the Danish in the semifinals but we thought we have to
:36:19. > :36:22.take them to town in the bronze medal match, which we did, so next
:36:23. > :36:29.time in Toronto is going to be a big time. You are angry, I can tell! How
:36:30. > :36:35.did the atmosphere compare out here in Florida to London a few years
:36:36. > :36:41.ago? Well, in London, against the Danish, when we were here, the
:36:42. > :36:44.atmosphere was subdued because we didn't perform as well as we should
:36:45. > :36:49.do. We put that right against the Australians. The support was, got
:36:50. > :36:54.back up there and helped us perform. It was good. And the Danes,
:36:55. > :36:59.impressive of course, against the bit, how good to you think -- Brits,
:37:00. > :37:03.how good do you think they are. I was surprised. Maybe a bit of
:37:04. > :37:07.underestimation. The difference is between the two teams was the
:37:08. > :37:12.technical and tactical side from Team UK, very disciplined. They had
:37:13. > :37:17.lots of ideas, worked well together but there was no competition against
:37:18. > :37:20.the speed of the Danes, they had so much intensity, when they got the
:37:21. > :37:24.ball they pushed. They were unstoppable. It was two different
:37:25. > :37:28.types of play and I don't think had played against anybody with that
:37:29. > :37:33.sort of speed. Something to work on. Thank you for coming in. And enjoy
:37:34. > :37:37.the closing ceremony. The big was having beaten the UK to get to the
:37:38. > :37:43.final, could the Danes be great and find way to defeat the Americans?
:37:44. > :37:48.Mark Peters may have been the difference for Denmark, but the USA
:37:49. > :37:52.have their own star turn in Antony mechanic Daniel and the battle of
:37:53. > :37:58.the captains was going Stateside as we join with the USA leading 9-5.
:37:59. > :38:03.With a game like this and the speed and intensity, what it does it is
:38:04. > :38:13.the thinking that needs to speed up as well. Mc-Daniels away again.
:38:14. > :38:25.Gets round. And the pass. A prize point cushion -- five point cushion.
:38:26. > :38:29.The coach has a massive pedigree. He has been coaching the Paralympic
:38:30. > :38:34.rugby team for year, you can see the same style coming into play here.
:38:35. > :38:46.Good one handed catch by Peters. Rare space for the Denmark captain.
:38:47. > :38:59.? Denmark try to press high but mechanic Daniel is away.
:39:00. > :39:03.McDaniel is away. -- McDaniels, Playing under Denmark,
:39:04. > :39:13.forcing the ball where they want it to go.
:39:14. > :39:24.Man well comes away with it. The solo run of Manuel.
:39:25. > :39:37.Taken out as he tried to go back. Manuel is down. Fantastic example of
:39:38. > :39:41.team work out there everybody is going inwith the ball but it is all
:39:42. > :39:44.about the blocking and the picking, making that available. The coach has
:39:45. > :39:46.made a change to the press, he has called everybody back. That is to
:39:47. > :40:12.give them time to breathe. Peters twist, turn, fences.
:40:13. > :40:16.Great defence. And it has worked. Again, those Lang arms getting in
:40:17. > :40:21.the way, and causing another turn over.
:40:22. > :40:24.With Peters being kept under wraps and McDaniel pulling the strings it
:40:25. > :40:27.was party time in the field house arena at the break but could the
:40:28. > :40:35.Danes pull it back in the second half?
:40:36. > :40:41.Familiar pattern. The bashing starts ahead of him. And
:40:42. > :40:46.then they try to do the pincer movement on him. Manuel is
:40:47. > :40:53.available. Oh, great work by McDaniel. They
:40:54. > :40:58.won't catch him. Not even Peters. Oh, beg your pardon, was that behind
:40:59. > :41:01.the rear action. No, in front of the chair, fantastic hit, fantastic
:41:02. > :41:06.challenge and a fantastic turn over. Denmark's ball.
:41:07. > :41:10.This is why I love this game. The idea of being in a wheelchair and
:41:11. > :41:15.the opinion is you need to be wrapped up in cotton wool with
:41:16. > :41:21.disability or injury, and these guys, they make it apparent you
:41:22. > :41:34.don't. That is a great shot. McDaniel appreciating the tackle.
:41:35. > :41:43.Here goes McDaniel again. And Peters this time can't catch him.
:41:44. > :41:47.No. No. McDaniel good at using his team and the space on the court to
:41:48. > :41:50.make it look easy, however fast you go, if you don't know where you are
:41:51. > :41:56.going you are going in the wrong direction. Here is a chance of
:41:57. > :42:00.defence, the States stay up. Looking for the half court press, trying to
:42:01. > :42:09.keep them in their half for 12. Manuel.
:42:10. > :42:14.Gets the pass away, well worked, Manuel and peters. Time out.
:42:15. > :42:19.Unfortunately, they are going to be given a foul. That is a technical
:42:20. > :42:22.foul. He will be put in the bin for hitting after the try. Once the try
:42:23. > :42:27.is scored, you are not allowed to hit the man. It is very unsporting,
:42:28. > :42:37.but that was very much an accident. There was no malice in that.
:42:38. > :42:55.Manuel. Huge crunch from Rodriguez. Manuel rides the storm and scores.
:42:56. > :43:03.Salazar, Rodriguez. Absolutely brilliant link up. Five passes in 12
:43:04. > :43:27.seconds. Excellent reversing by McDaniel. And
:43:28. > :43:37.by Salazar and Peters. He still manages to score. Squeezes through.
:43:38. > :43:48.Stolen by Peters. Picked up by McDaniel. Passes to Rodriguez, well
:43:49. > :43:54.taken on the stretch. Ros guess -- Rodriguez seems to have a magnetic
:43:55. > :44:05.hand. He is comfortable with the ball.
:44:06. > :44:14.Peters briefly loses the ball. Has it again.
:44:15. > :44:19.And scores. The reef re-gave it. Is very close.
:44:20. > :44:29.-- referee gave it. Approaching the last minute of play.
:44:30. > :44:40.It is all over bar the celebrating. Denmark substitution.
:44:41. > :44:57.The man who has been there throughout their campaign, Mark
:44:58. > :45:06.Peters, just looking to give everybody some game time. The game
:45:07. > :45:16.clock and the shot lock almost mirroring each other. Peters is
:45:17. > :45:24.still tracking the American captain, who scores in the end but what a
:45:25. > :45:28.contest it has been, the states are worthy champions. 20 seconds left on
:45:29. > :45:43.the clock, back they go for their last key defence of the game.
:45:44. > :45:54.Peters passes and Manuel scores. USA have it for the last two seconds,
:45:55. > :45:58.will they just let it fall in. They just run down the clock and the
:45:59. > :46:04.United States have won the gold medal in wheelchair rugby. Their
:46:05. > :46:08.star performers, Anthony McDaniel, captain, and Mark Peters, the
:46:09. > :46:17.captain of Denmark. They shake hands and share a smile. I am glad we were
:46:18. > :46:21.able to do it on our home turf. We were around a bunch of good guys and
:46:22. > :46:26.finishing it off the way we needed to, started strong and ended strong.
:46:27. > :46:30.Much respect to the USA and to Denmark for giving us a good match.
:46:31. > :46:34.On Monday we spoke to Prince Harry about expectations for the week
:46:35. > :46:40.ahead and he has kindly come back for a catch up with UK team member,
:46:41. > :46:48.very successful,, show us your medals. As well as a very serious
:46:49. > :46:53.side to these games, have you started a trend? This was the
:46:54. > :46:58.American sitting volleyball team on Tuesday. And for all of the view
:46:59. > :47:08.was, including me, that is apparently the throwing of the Mike
:47:09. > :47:14.which was started by yourselves. Started by President Obama and his
:47:15. > :47:19.wife. How excited are you buy that global viral success? It is a bit of
:47:20. > :47:25.fun and we have got going, we have not had as much chance as we have
:47:26. > :47:32.had to do it to them as they have done to us but it was our queen that
:47:33. > :47:36.delivered the icing on the cake. Paul, you have all of these medals
:47:37. > :47:41.but it is not quite over yet, what is your stand out from the week? For
:47:42. > :47:45.me it has been my family being here because I have been fortunate to go
:47:46. > :47:50.all the way round the world for this, they have not been a part of
:47:51. > :47:53.it so to have them in the arena with me and the rest of the team and
:47:54. > :47:59.sharing the whole experience has been second to none for me. We saw a
:48:00. > :48:03.Elizabeth Marks, the US were met handing her medal over to Papworth
:48:04. > :48:09.Hospital which embodied the spirit of the Invictus Games. If I can
:48:10. > :48:16.briefly touched on that, it is not about the medals but that gesture is
:48:17. > :48:19.going to go so far. She won a string of gold medals and she wants to give
:48:20. > :48:24.that one back to Papworth Hospital and we will make sure of that. As
:48:25. > :48:29.far as she is concerned, she has been given a second chance in life.
:48:30. > :48:34.She should have died and it was only because she was in London that she
:48:35. > :48:37.had a second chance and being able to compete with these other
:48:38. > :48:43.individuals with her family around, that is what this is about. We have
:48:44. > :48:48.individuals who will get next train from so many medals but that is not
:48:49. > :48:52.what this has been about, it is about taking part. Wearing the team
:48:53. > :48:55.strip and having a good time with friends and family and create an
:48:56. > :49:00.atmosphere and send out that message to people across the world that any
:49:01. > :49:06.adversity you come up against in your life, just smash it and go for
:49:07. > :49:11.it. I know it is not all about the medals and I am get -- getting that
:49:12. > :49:16.message loud and clear but we have a grudge match moments away, US
:49:17. > :49:20.against the UK in the basketball, disappointing not to retain the gold
:49:21. > :49:26.in the rugby, have you been giving a team talk on last-minute tips? For
:49:27. > :49:31.the rugby? For the basketball? No, I am going to have a chat before they
:49:32. > :49:36.start but it is very important that they focus, they have their coach
:49:37. > :49:41.and they know what they are up against. Would be nice to have a
:49:42. > :49:46.boom. It will be if we win. This is a huge match and we need to win.
:49:47. > :49:51.They know how much they want this, some of the guys have and one any
:49:52. > :49:55.medals yet and they want that. It was 3-0 to us in all the team sports
:49:56. > :49:59.in London and they have thrown everything at it. The most exciting
:50:00. > :50:03.thing for the whole games is that Denmark knocked us out and got in
:50:04. > :50:09.the final, that is what this is about. The two biggest teams
:50:10. > :50:12.fighting it out at the top is fun but it is these smaller teams coming
:50:13. > :50:18.through and showing what they have been able to achieve in a small
:50:19. > :50:21.space of time. We have seen you all supporting each other, how important
:50:22. > :50:27.has it been to have your fellow athletes alongside you cheering you
:50:28. > :50:32.on? It is amazing, the general public or all here for Team USA so
:50:33. > :50:37.our athletes are the main support we have along with family and friends.
:50:38. > :50:40.They have been so loud and amazing throughout the whole experience on
:50:41. > :50:48.the track, the pool or in the arena behind us. The loudest out there,
:50:49. > :50:52.awesome. For those who have been watching it this week, what would
:50:53. > :51:00.you like them to take away from the Invictus Games? There are so many
:51:01. > :51:03.things. Every single person that watches this must be incredibly
:51:04. > :51:08.proud. The specially back in, of these guys, the individuals that
:51:09. > :51:15.have done amazing things in their lives. But also throughout their
:51:16. > :51:20.military careers. Things that they do without any praise and thanks, it
:51:21. > :51:25.is your job, you sign up and you do it because you are with your mates.
:51:26. > :51:28.This is an opportunity for members of the public to thank them and an
:51:29. > :51:35.opportunity for them to thank them back. I don't feel as though I need
:51:36. > :51:40.to lay out any hopes or wishes, I think everybody gets it. The brand
:51:41. > :51:44.itself is growing and it means so much to so many different kinds of
:51:45. > :51:49.people and that is all we can ask for. People to respect these
:51:50. > :51:54.individuals for who they are inside, don't judge them by their injuries,
:51:55. > :51:59.and take whatever energy or passion lessons you have learned in life,
:52:00. > :52:03.take it from these guys. Not only do they look after their families over
:52:04. > :52:09.this time, they have played top-class sport, sometimes in
:52:10. > :52:18.disciplines they have not ever tried before in a tight space of time.
:52:19. > :52:22.They are exhausted. We all are too. It has been fantastic for you to be
:52:23. > :52:26.here a couple of times this week and we have loved every second of it.
:52:27. > :52:32.You have to go and work on your closing speech. At the Invictus
:52:33. > :52:36.Games in 2014, the biggest upset was the visiting American team was
:52:37. > :52:41.losing the wheelchair basketball final in an intense match. The UK
:52:42. > :52:45.team are expecting an even tougher task this time around. We have come
:52:46. > :52:49.a long way since starting this, we know they are coming for us, we will
:52:50. > :52:53.make them sweat and bleed on that court if they want to take that
:52:54. > :52:58.championship from us. It is our championship, we will go out there
:52:59. > :53:01.and claim it back. Not just for yourselves or your team-mates but
:53:02. > :53:06.every member of the nation that is behind us shouting for you when you
:53:07. > :53:15.represent the United Kingdom. We are going to get stronger, harder,
:53:16. > :53:20.better. Definitely a grudge match. When we won it in London, we have
:53:21. > :53:24.the advantage of the home court. Rolling out on the court was such an
:53:25. > :53:29.amazing experience. Hearing the cheer when the ball went in the net
:53:30. > :53:33.was amazing, we will not have that in America. It will be a big thing,
:53:34. > :53:39.we were the underdogs last time but now we are holding the title and we
:53:40. > :53:44.intend to keep hold of it. We don't want to let ourselves down or the
:53:45. > :53:49.2014 team by losing their title, it is an extra pressure. We are up
:53:50. > :53:54.against it, it is not going to be easy at all. This time around on
:53:55. > :53:59.American soil playing their game, it will be much more difficult. We have
:54:00. > :54:04.done tonnes of training to make sure we are the best team we can be. They
:54:05. > :54:10.have put in blood, sweat and tears and they want gold. We are enjoying
:54:11. > :54:15.it, it is fun playing together and a good team of friends and that is
:54:16. > :54:18.only going to work out well on court. Everyone here has been on a
:54:19. > :54:23.journey, some have started through recovery and social interaction, as
:54:24. > :54:27.they have gone further down that journey, we have seen them blossom
:54:28. > :54:31.into what I consider to be true athletes. With that comes a desire
:54:32. > :54:37.to win and nothing short of gold will do. We are ready to go out
:54:38. > :54:40.there, I'm tough or not, we have the upper hand, reigning champions in
:54:41. > :54:47.the Invictus Games, we hope they are ready. Taking part in sport, is that
:54:48. > :54:52.the idea? No, we are going to win and beat the Americans in their
:54:53. > :54:58.backyard, job done. Impressive place to train, that. The final is on
:54:59. > :55:01.tomorrow's show. You'd might be that rehearsals are underway for the
:55:02. > :55:06.opening ceremony in the stadium behind us. One of the performers
:55:07. > :55:08.will be Rachel Platten, whose fight song has become one of the anthems
:55:09. > :55:33.of this game. JJ caught up with her earlier today.
:55:34. > :55:36.Thanks for joining us, how our preparations for the closing
:55:37. > :55:41.ceremony coming along? They have been so amazing and easy, shockingly
:55:42. > :55:46.easy, the spirit of the games has infused my team and there are no
:55:47. > :55:49.nerves, we are excited and honoured. The macro fight song has been
:55:50. > :55:54.playing all week, everyone going wild for it, how does it feel to
:55:55. > :55:58.have that song and the Invictus Games partnered? It is really
:55:59. > :56:03.incredible, such an honour. I wrote this song when I needed hope and not
:56:04. > :56:07.to give up myself and now that it is used by millions of people
:56:08. > :56:14.especially people who have made sacrifices to us means a lot to me.
:56:15. > :56:19.What can we expect to see from the show? It is going to be so great,
:56:20. > :56:24.and incredible light show, I have my band with me, revealing three songs
:56:25. > :56:28.of my album, and then of course, fight song and hopefully the stadium
:56:29. > :56:34.will sing along with me. I am sure they will, can't wait to see you on
:56:35. > :56:39.stage tonight. It has been sounding incredible all day, thanks to JJ and
:56:40. > :56:44.Rachel and we will have highlights of that closing ceremony tomorrow
:56:45. > :56:56.night. It is about time we welcomed more winners. Welcome. Get
:56:57. > :57:01.yourselves a seat here. Elizabeth Marks, welcome to the show. You are
:57:02. > :57:06.from Team USA of course. We will start with you and your jangling
:57:07. > :57:10.gold medals. Prince Harry was on and he told us about you handing your
:57:11. > :57:15.medal to Papworth and how that is the spirit of the Invictus Games,
:57:16. > :57:21.tell everybody if they don't know the story of what happened to you in
:57:22. > :57:25.2014? I fell very ill in 2014. As soon as I landed, I went into the
:57:26. > :57:32.rest bridge a failure and I had to go on life support, -- respiratory
:57:33. > :57:39.failure, I was transported out of London, taken to Germany but it was
:57:40. > :57:45.the support at Papworth that saved my life. And now you have all these
:57:46. > :57:51.medals, fantastic. You competed in a number of events but what was your
:57:52. > :57:56.outstanding moment? The 1500 is my main event, I did the 400 and that
:57:57. > :58:03.was a bonus. Taking the 1500 again, I did that in 2014 and I took 21
:58:04. > :58:10.seconds off that time. And you are a bit of a swimmer. That is very kind,
:58:11. > :58:16.it is a real honour to be swimming at the age of my late 50s and I am
:58:17. > :58:21.very thankful to be here, it is wonderful. I think you are all going
:58:22. > :58:25.to have a great time tonight, you have made a friend with Prince Harry
:58:26. > :58:32.so you will party the night away, thanks for coming in and all of our
:58:33. > :58:35.guests, coming up is the second part of a Gareth's in Victor Squire
:58:36. > :58:38.documentary and tomorrow we will be back with the wheelchair basketball
:58:39. > :58:48.and highlights of the closing ceremony. I am listening. I am
:58:49. > :59:01.honoured. I am recording. I am astonished. I am inspired. I am
:59:02. > :59:06.fascinated. I am excited. I am ready. I am amazed.
