:00:29. > :00:33.Good evening, the Olympians. Welcome to the programme that acts
:00:33. > :00:38.as a televisual shoehorn, wedging everything you need to know into 45
:00:38. > :00:44.minutes. We have a lot to get through tonight. On the show
:00:44. > :00:48.tonight, another day, another two gold medals for Team GB. There was
:00:48. > :00:54.also a double disappointment when Dai Greene and Holly Bleasdale
:00:54. > :01:03.failed to produce their best when it really mattered. Look at this -
:01:03. > :01:12.how it can all go wrong even on the biggest of occasions. As ever, it
:01:12. > :01:17.is your chance to get involved as well. Matthew Syed of the times is
:01:17. > :01:23.here, tackling your questions. We will start with Dai Greene - he
:01:23. > :01:33.came into the Olympics as the world 400m champion but only squeezed
:01:33. > :01:43.
:01:43. > :01:47.into the final as the fastest loser. The crowd trying to play their part.
:01:47. > :01:54.Coulson down the back straight, and Sanchez has started incredibly
:01:54. > :02:00.quickly. Dai Greene has a lot of ground to make-up, the others have
:02:00. > :02:06.started so fast. Dai Greene has got some room to make up just to get
:02:06. > :02:14.into the medals. Sanchez is in this, Gordon is in this. Here comes Dai
:02:14. > :02:23.Greene trying to get amongst the medals. Taylor trying to get back
:02:23. > :02:33.involved, but Sanchez takes the gold medal. Taylor, Culsun, then
:02:33. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:42.Dai Greene. He dominated the world for a while, and then years of
:02:42. > :02:48.barren performances almost. Then he is back, takes the gold medal. They
:02:48. > :02:54.can hardly believe it. So Sanchez crosses the line first. He ran a
:02:54. > :02:58.phenomenal race. Dai Greene is just questioning if anything went wrong,
:02:58. > :03:05.if he could do anything better. He will be bitterly disappointed he
:03:05. > :03:14.has not got a medal Porth got I just feel a bit tired tonight.
:03:14. > :03:20.couple of days ago it was a bit of a shocker, I gave it more tonight
:03:20. > :03:24.but I was too tired in the end and narrowly missed out. Do you think
:03:24. > :03:29.what happened to you earlier in the year, the injury problems you had,
:03:29. > :03:35.the knee problem, has in any way affected your build up?
:03:35. > :03:40.certainly affected my build up because I could not start until
:03:40. > :03:45.October time. I ran my personal best a few weeks ago. I just think
:03:45. > :03:51.the endurance was not there for the rounds, which shows how I missed
:03:51. > :03:53.out on the winter work. You can't tell until you get to the majors. I
:03:53. > :03:59.tell until you get to the majors. I could not have given it anything
:03:59. > :04:04.else tonight. Matthew, some may have seen a fascinating piece you
:04:05. > :04:12.made about the psychology of sport. What is your take on what happened
:04:12. > :04:15.to Dai Greene? Firstly, I think psychology, nerve, being able to
:04:15. > :04:22.hold it together on the biggest stage is crucial for the Olympic
:04:22. > :04:25.Games. In his case, his post-match interview gave away the hint that
:04:25. > :04:33.this may be physiological. He is running well but he didn't know if
:04:33. > :04:39.he had the stamina to cope with the succession of races. It highlights
:04:39. > :04:46.something else which is important - you need some good luck. I think he
:04:46. > :04:56.was extremely unlucky. We have had loads of questions for you tonight.
:04:56. > :04:56.
:04:56. > :05:00.Mike asks a bow at the contrasting emotion between Sanchez who was
:05:00. > :05:05.shouting uncontrollably afterwards, and then when you see him on the
:05:05. > :05:10.podium he is crying his eyes out. His grandmother died in the build-
:05:10. > :05:15.up to these Olympics and he was running with a picture of her
:05:15. > :05:20.inside his vest. Isn't that strange to see the contrasting emotions?
:05:20. > :05:27.is. This is one of the great joys of the Olympics. It is like a
:05:28. > :05:32.wonderful opportunity to experience emotional a tense and -- emotional
:05:32. > :05:38.intensity. What they have gone through to get to this stage - the
:05:38. > :05:42.sacrifice, the hard work - you can understand why the experience it as
:05:42. > :05:47.a massive vindication. When you think about the neurosis bound up
:05:47. > :05:55.in that moment, you can understand why it sometimes gets too much for
:05:55. > :05:58.them. That was a wonderful moment. Holly Bleasdale, the British record
:05:58. > :06:05.holder in the pole vault, was expected to challenge but she never
:06:05. > :06:09.looked right from the opening round. After two attempts and facing early
:06:09. > :06:18.elimination from the competition, she clear at this at the third time
:06:19. > :06:24.of asking and the crowd went wild. It was a similar story on the next
:06:24. > :06:29.height, and with that disappeared her Olympic dream. No disgrace
:06:29. > :06:36.finishing in sixth place but she would have expected a lot better.
:06:36. > :06:40.On Saturday, we saw six Olympians, six gold medals, and people
:06:40. > :06:45.reducing their best when it really mattered. Tonight we saw Dai Greene
:06:45. > :06:50.fail, we think it might have been something to do with his body, but
:06:50. > :06:56.do you think the others might be negatively affected by the crowd?
:06:56. > :07:00.It is easy for that happen. Anyone who has ever given the best man's
:07:00. > :07:05.speech, or going to live Defining job interview will know the
:07:05. > :07:12.phenomenon of having the knowledge, but blanking. This happens in sport
:07:12. > :07:16.as well. It is like a sliding Doors moment. You win, you will of glory,
:07:17. > :07:23.if you lose you are destined for anonymity. She looked nervous at
:07:23. > :07:30.the beginning and I have experienced that, I have fallen
:07:30. > :07:38.apart under pressure. I experienced it in Sydney. My coat was trying to
:07:38. > :07:46.motivate me but it compounded the extraordinary pressure. The one
:07:46. > :07:52.silver lining, think of Rory McIlroy who fell apart terribly and
:07:52. > :07:59.we wondered if the psychological scar tissue would heal. He learned
:07:59. > :08:05.techniques and won the next major title. He has dealt with his demons.
:08:05. > :08:10.Yvonne says Andy Murray, we have seen him beat Roger Pedder, win at
:08:10. > :08:15.Wimbledon, has he passed through a big psychological barrier? I am in
:08:15. > :08:20.two minds about that. Tennis is one of the few sports in the Olympics
:08:20. > :08:24.when the Olympics is not that a Nicol of the sport. Most players
:08:24. > :08:29.would acknowledge the Grand Slams are bigger, and I wonder if that
:08:29. > :08:35.will give him even more pressure. You have done it in the Olympics,
:08:36. > :08:43.why can't you deliver in the Grand Slams? To show you that even the
:08:43. > :08:50.top men and women are interested in this subject, Michael Owen has said
:08:50. > :08:55."can you make me think I am 18 Again when I was fearless". I felt
:08:55. > :08:59.that I was better as well when I was younger. As you get older, you
:08:59. > :09:03.are more aware of the consequences and that has a particular
:09:03. > :09:10.psychological significance. The things sports psychologists work
:09:10. > :09:14.with top athletes on - visualisation, positive affirmation,
:09:14. > :09:19.and shutting out the enormity of what you are doing, pretending it
:09:19. > :09:25.doesn't matter that much. Michael Owen was such a fearless performer
:09:25. > :09:31.and I would love to see him get that back. There has been all sorts
:09:31. > :09:41.of highs and lows in the stadium throughout the day. These are the
:09:41. > :09:59.
:09:59. > :10:03.qualified. Local knowledge didn't seem to help in the 400m hurdles,
:10:03. > :10:09.Perri Shakes-Drayton finished third and will miss the final. The
:10:09. > :10:17.British competitor made it through to the discus final, and for 100m
:10:17. > :10:21.hurdles - Tiffany Porter sealed her place for the finals. Andrew Osagie
:10:21. > :10:26.finished his heat in third place. I've felt very comfortable. I was
:10:26. > :10:31.in a position when I was outside the qualifying, which is not ideal
:10:31. > :10:35.but I didn't panic. I was very comfortable and glad to get into
:10:35. > :10:45.the top three. A Lisa Dobriskey and Hannah England made it through
:10:45. > :10:51.their heats to the semi-finals of the 1,500m. No joy for Holly
:10:51. > :10:58.Bleasdale, the honours in the end going to Jennifer Suhr. The Russian
:10:58. > :11:05.world record holder Isinbaeva, who won gold in 2004, and 2008, could
:11:05. > :11:14.not watch, instead hiding under a blanket. Russia took gold in the
:11:14. > :11:24.women's steeplechase, Zaripova finishing to rapturous finish.
:11:24. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:30.Kirani James took the 400m gold. Finally, after those badminton
:11:31. > :11:36.players were kicked out after trying to lose, tonight we give you
:11:36. > :11:40.this man. All smiles and patriotism before his heat this morning - he
:11:40. > :11:46.had already qualified for the 1,500m final and something was
:11:46. > :11:56.clearly playing on his mind as he left the track with 600 metres to
:11:56. > :12:01.go. It would lead to him being banned from the rest of the
:12:01. > :12:05.Olympics but he has now been reinstated and will be in the final.
:12:05. > :12:14.A lot of questions coming through about young children.
:12:14. > :12:19.In the swimming we saw a lot of young swimmers, and in the 400m
:12:19. > :12:27.race of two 19 year-olds, Kirani James getting his first ever
:12:27. > :12:32.Olympic gold medal - what is it about these youngsters coming
:12:32. > :12:38.through and producing wonderful scenes in the Olympic Stadium?
:12:38. > :12:45.is a wider phenomenon than athletics. People are often
:12:45. > :12:49.starting younger than they used to. In any tennis club, there are eight
:12:49. > :12:55.year-olds. They put so many hours in from such a young age so they
:12:55. > :13:00.have already clocked up thousands of ours by the age of 13 so they
:13:00. > :13:04.have that in the bank. It means they are peaking earlier. That will
:13:04. > :13:10.be a big advantage for someone who starts young and wants to get the
:13:10. > :13:16.top. There is a significant danger, the phenomenon of burn-out. If the
:13:16. > :13:22.young person is pushed into the sport, not doing it for their own
:13:22. > :13:25.sake, but to please a parent or a coach, that is too big a
:13:25. > :13:32.psychological contradiction. They spend all this time doing something
:13:32. > :13:42.they don't want to be doing. If you get these things in sync, the
:13:42. > :13:47.
:13:47. > :13:54.across the Olympic Park and further. And we have the Lord of rings. This
:13:54. > :14:03.is the global round up. Another day, another gold for China in the
:14:03. > :14:09.Olympics. That is number 31 for the sporting super power. They won the
:14:09. > :14:14.Laser Radial class. Australia haven't had much to shout about. So
:14:14. > :14:22.Tom Slingsby's gold is a welcome relief. If you wonder why the
:14:22. > :14:27.Cypriot fans are so pleased, it is because their won the first ever
:14:27. > :14:35.medal. If you think of Italy, you think of food, romance and bad
:14:35. > :14:40.driving. Now with can add shooting to the list. Gold in the men's 50
:14:40. > :14:50.metre rifle three positions. It could have been a double
:14:50. > :15:00.celebration, without not for the Croatian competitor. The quest to
:15:00. > :15:01.
:15:01. > :15:08.become the Lord of the Rings was taken by the Brazilian Zanetti.
:15:08. > :15:16.Shot of the day came in the vault. The athlete from South Korea, his
:15:16. > :15:21.score was only bettered by the cameraman. There are often fine
:15:21. > :15:26.margins in sport and this man may have had to lift double his own
:15:26. > :15:36.body weight, but he was just one kilogram in front of his nearest
:15:36. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :15:44.rival in silver. How a royal loves equestrianism. Britain has Zara
:15:44. > :15:54.Phillips and Saudi Arabia's Royal Family have a medal. He can take
:15:54. > :16:02.that home to his grand-dad the king. And at the Greco-Roman wrestling
:16:02. > :16:07.the Honor nours went to Cuba and Iran. He had a special gift. There
:16:07. > :16:14.you go, have some of that. They won't v got their money's worth at
:16:14. > :16:19.Old Trafford tonight. One goal wins it. Headed goal wards and in. The
:16:19. > :16:29.United States have smached it. The The United States scoring in injury
:16:29. > :16:30.
:16:30. > :16:35.time at the end of exdra time -- extra time to beat Canada 4-3. In
:16:35. > :16:43.the boxing the world number one light weight from Italy was bullied
:16:43. > :16:48.out of tournament by the Lithuanian. And if a question of sport's
:16:48. > :16:55.researchers are watching. Here is a classic what happened next. Oh here
:16:55. > :16:59.you go. The first calamity. Stephan Feck set to become an instant
:16:59. > :17:06.YouTube sensation - whether he YouTube sensation - whether he
:17:06. > :17:13.likes it or not. Now music fans the last time Britain won a show
:17:13. > :17:21.jumping medal, Frankie goes to Hollywood were op Toft charts. Now'
:17:21. > :17:27.Hollywood were op Toft charts. Now' - were top of the charts. Britain's
:17:27. > :17:31.equestrian team has already won silver. Today was about jumping.
:17:31. > :17:39.The fences have elements of British history. There is Charles Darwin
:17:39. > :17:45.and they have evolved as well. Higher, I'm six foot tall and this
:17:45. > :17:53.one is close. The points of the course is to test the best. Nick
:17:53. > :18:01.Skelton defied medical advice to resume his career after breaking
:18:01. > :18:09.his neck. On Big Star his round was perfect. The combined total of
:18:09. > :18:14.three riders get the score. Maher had four faults and Skelton could
:18:14. > :18:19.only watch. Next was Scott Brash. If he could hold his nerve, gold
:18:19. > :18:25.was in reach. Clear round. Outstanding. The crowd go mad and
:18:25. > :18:29.Britain on on for gold And then the Dutch with a horse called London.
:18:29. > :18:34.Another mistake and gold was Britain's. Made it. Both countries
:18:35. > :18:38.tied and a jump off. It doesn't get better than this. The course
:18:38. > :18:45.shortened, out came Skelton with a perfect round again. All the
:18:45. > :18:50.country's riders were involved, was -- but the Dutch were making
:18:50. > :18:57.mistakes. Now Peter Charles who fought back from broken vertebrae
:18:57. > :19:06.and shattered ribs could seal it. Their first team gold since the 50s
:19:06. > :19:09.with two men in their 50s. I must say the crowd have been
:19:09. > :19:11.unbelievable. Even if they were watching the television for the
:19:11. > :19:16.whole games, they have been outstanding. Without them, we
:19:16. > :19:20.couldn't have done it. You get one shot to win a gold on home soil and
:19:20. > :19:25.you have done it. Thifs is the place the win. I said it, people
:19:25. > :19:29.said there is so much pressure. I said no, totally the opposite, it
:19:29. > :19:34.is much to our advantage. And it was. I thank everyone. They're
:19:34. > :19:37.was. I thank everyone. They're brilliant. A huge support and you
:19:37. > :19:44.can tell you're having a good Olympics when you pick up medals in
:19:44. > :19:50.things you didn't expect. And golds as well. Yes and fantastic. I 406
:19:50. > :19:54.the - o' I love the pressure like a penalty shoot out and we won. It
:19:54. > :20:00.was terrific sport. I think one of the other joys we learn more and
:20:00. > :20:07.more about sports that we're not familiar with. One of my colleagues
:20:07. > :20:14.-- colleagues called it the biodiversity of the world of sport.
:20:14. > :20:23.Football is one culture. It is the same pattern. Here we have
:20:23. > :20:29.different sub-culture and different emotions and different fizzologys.
:20:29. > :20:37.There a broader debate as well. The money that all these sports get
:20:37. > :20:42.comes from UK Sport and it is divided. Those sports that perform
:20:42. > :20:46.well may get more and those that str underperformed will get cut.
:20:46. > :20:51.There ains element of competition between the sports for that cash.
:20:51. > :20:56.That is a powerful point. The UK Sport authority which distributes
:20:56. > :21:00.public money to sports and is part of the reason we have done well, we
:21:00. > :21:09.hire the best coaches in the world and get the best scientists and
:21:09. > :21:14.they are brutally Darwinian. If a sport does well, the they get more
:21:14. > :21:19.money. These people are not just competing for their own glory, but
:21:19. > :21:24.for the next funding round. There is something striking that it is
:21:24. > :21:29.one team and yet swimming will get shafted by sports that have done
:21:29. > :21:35.better and their share. And one other thing. A lot of sports that
:21:35. > :21:38.after the home Olympics that funding will get decimated, because
:21:38. > :21:43.we're in an age of austerity. I think it will stay and there are
:21:43. > :21:48.good reasons for that. They will be in trouble if they cuts that.
:21:48. > :21:53.is competition between sports. Barely a day goes without us
:21:53. > :21:59.talking about a cycling medal. Normally it is a gold. Four years
:21:59. > :22:05.ago the men's sprints was won by Chris Hoy and this year the man who
:22:05. > :22:11.Chris Hoy and this year the man who replace him didn't do too badly.
:22:11. > :22:21.Gold medal number four. Chris Hoy is the Olympic sprint champion. He
:22:21. > :22:23.
:22:23. > :22:33.has won three here. This man is unstoppable. When Jason was chosen
:22:33. > :22:37.ahead of Sir Chris Hoy, many an brie brow was used. Hoy beat Kenny
:22:37. > :22:44.in Beijing but said Jason deserves this opportunities. There was much
:22:44. > :22:52.success for Kenny on his way to the final. Now against Gregory Bauge a
:22:52. > :22:58.man he had never beaten, he phased -- faced his biggest challenge. But
:22:58. > :23:04.he led before the second run. with one lap to go. Standing
:23:04. > :23:09.between him and the gold medal. Bauge tries to come up to the wheel
:23:10. > :23:14.of Kenny. He won't do it. Bauge will not take it. Kenny is the
:23:14. > :23:22.Olympic sprint champion. He brings the gold medal and he has won it in
:23:22. > :23:29.style. With fantastic confidence. That was a spectacular piece of
:23:29. > :23:35.sprinting. You're the champion. How does it feel? It is amazing. I
:23:35. > :23:38.hadn't thought about it until we were on that last lap. And then I
:23:38. > :23:43.had the battle to get here with Chris and knowing you have someone
:23:43. > :23:50.on the sides that couldn't give that second one away. I thought I
:23:50. > :23:55.had better not mess this up. I was please and did it for team. While
:23:55. > :24:00.in the female sprint, Victoria Pendleton is on course to replicate
:24:00. > :24:07.Kenny's achievement and cruised into the semi-finals and looks to
:24:07. > :24:13.become a gold medallist for the thirds time. And Laura Trott won
:24:13. > :24:21.the third vent of omnium. She is top of the standsings before the
:24:21. > :24:26.final day. Representing Great Britain, Jason Kenny. That winning
:24:26. > :24:32.feeling becoming very familiar in the velodrome and any doubts about
:24:32. > :24:37.the slerbgs of Jason Kenny have the slerbgs of Jason Kenny have
:24:37. > :24:43.been extinguished. There may be more medals, but seven vents and GB
:24:43. > :24:46.have won five gold, one bronze and been disqualified from the other.
:24:46. > :24:51.They changed the rule and they will have to change them again, because
:24:51. > :24:57.they're so dominant. It is extraordinary. It is so incredibly
:24:57. > :25:01.striking. They will have to make it you're only allowed one British
:25:01. > :25:06.athlete. Otherwise we will dominate again. In this sense success breeds
:25:06. > :25:10.success. What happens I think is that you get a great deal of
:25:10. > :25:12.success in a particular games and you have expectation that are high
:25:13. > :25:18.and you have the internal competition between riders trying
:25:18. > :25:22.to get into the Olympics. That is something which is powerful. We saw
:25:23. > :25:27.that between Kenny and hoy and you have everyone wanting to be part of
:25:27. > :25:35.team. But a lot of scientists and people wanting to be associated
:25:35. > :25:41.with the wing ethos. You get people who you may well forget. Sam said
:25:41. > :25:46.we know hoir, Cavendish and Wiggins and this man has won three Olympic
:25:46. > :25:53.gold and he is the quiet one. don't know if that is something he
:25:53. > :25:58.would feel bad about. But perhaps he enjoys the anonymity. But
:25:58. > :26:05.success means some people do very well and get left to one side.
:26:05. > :26:12.time for chunk one of our GB rounds up. We have split in. Into land-

:30:14. > :30:22.tonight "well done, Great Britain" because it has really put us on the
:30:22. > :30:27.mark. When Beth Tweddle got involved in gymnastics there was no

:30:31. > :30:36.pioneer. She finishes with an Olympic medal as well, which is
:30:37. > :30:41.beautiful for her career. To end in this way it is beautiful. As a
:30:41. > :30:48.wonderful way to finish, a great culmination of her career. She can

:31:03. > :31:10.back and drove a time line from Beth Tweddle. Let's tidy up some of
:31:10. > :31:17.the other gymnastic news. Kristian Thomas was one of those who got
:31:17. > :31:25.team bronze last week. His first effort was excellent in the vault,
:31:25. > :31:29.and he ended up finishing in a birthplace. The gold medal
:31:29. > :31:33.performance was nearly faultless. The boxing tournament is reaching
:31:33. > :31:37.an interesting phase where the medals are about to be given out.
:31:37. > :31:42.Nicola Adams is guaranteed a bronze after coming through her quarter-
:31:42. > :31:48.final. She dished out quite to beating to the Bulgarian, wobbling
:31:48. > :31:55.her on several occasions, and she won by a big margin in the end. Her
:31:55. > :32:01.semi-final should be a cracker, taking on an Indian sensation.
:32:01. > :32:06.really happy with that. Over the moon. I was enjoying every minute
:32:06. > :32:11.of it basically. What were the emotions like as you stepped out
:32:11. > :32:15.into the ring? I was loving every minute of it, especially the song I
:32:15. > :32:21.went out to as well, which was really great. I was quite nervous
:32:21. > :32:29.but I thought I have a job to do, just getting there and do it.
:32:29. > :32:35.Natasha Jonas was always going to get bashed about by Katie Taylor,
:32:35. > :32:42.and despite the sterling effort she was beaten in the end. Arguably it
:32:42. > :32:47.was the fight of the tournament and Taylor took it 26-15. Jonas said I
:32:47. > :32:52.could have thrown the kitchen sink at her, I could have driven a bus
:32:52. > :33:00.at her, it wouldn't have worked. A shock for Savannah Marshall as well,
:33:00. > :33:05.Britain's reigning world champion, she was beaten by her opponent from
:33:05. > :33:15.Kazakhstan. She couldn't shake off her opponent, who led by two points
:33:15. > :33:23.going into the final round. On to the men, and Anthony Joshua won is
:33:23. > :33:28.late-night court of final bout against Zhilei Zhang of China,
:33:28. > :33:33.nicknamed the iron fist Prince. There is a bronze medal in store
:33:33. > :33:41.for Anthony Ogogo, but he will hope to do better than that after
:33:41. > :33:51.winning the quarter-final match tonight. He beat his man 15-tend to
:33:51. > :33:53.
:33:53. > :34:03.make the semi-finals. That was hard work. I had a walk the other night,
:34:03. > :34:03.
:34:03. > :34:10.and this man hit hard, but it Viki putting those wins out, I am not
:34:10. > :34:16.going to stop until I get the gold medal. What does it mean to be
:34:16. > :34:21.here? The two so hard. Anyone who has come here and done it for Great
:34:21. > :34:27.Britain, represented this lion on my chest, they have earned it. I
:34:27. > :34:32.have had it so tough, not just injury Wise, but mentally, problems
:34:32. > :34:41.at home. I have had it so hard, and just coming home, bringing a medal
:34:41. > :34:47.to my mum, that is just... I don't want to cry so I am going to tough
:34:47. > :34:49.it out but it means the world to me. Great Britain's women's hockey team
:34:50. > :34:56.knew before tonight's game against the Netherlands they were already
:34:56. > :35:02.assured of a place in the next round, but despite that victory
:35:02. > :35:12.would leave them with a better draw in the last four. The commentator
:35:12. > :35:48.
:35:48. > :35:55.touch? She went for the shot. The corner by Christa Cullen. She can
:35:55. > :36:05.use her entire body weight to get it behind the ball and slam it home.
:36:05. > :36:30.
:36:30. > :36:34.kicked over the line. Left somebody on the post, and she tries the
:36:34. > :36:44.on the post, and she tries the score. It is a well-worked penalty
:36:44. > :36:52.
:36:52. > :37:02.corner. They have done their were five defenders there, and she
:37:02. > :37:08.started and finished it. She gets that turn on Kate Walsh. What has
:37:08. > :37:13.been in good team tournament for the Dutch. They have been top-
:37:13. > :37:21.quality tonight, and that would have been a big psychological boost
:37:21. > :37:26.for the Dutch, that victory. They deserve to be top of the group.
:37:26. > :37:34.I finishing second, Great Britain I finishing second, Great Britain
:37:34. > :37:39.play Argentina. That is on Wednesday. Let's hear from Team
:37:39. > :37:46.GB's captain. We approach did exactly the same. We are here to
:37:46. > :37:50.win the tournament and it is just another game in the pool stages.
:37:50. > :37:55.Unfortunately we came away slightly disappointed but we got to the
:37:55. > :38:01.semi-final because we did the hard work early. We will be fighting for
:38:01. > :38:04.the gold medal. Kate, you pushed the defending Olympic champions for
:38:04. > :38:09.the way tonight and that must give you great heart going into the
:38:09. > :38:13.semi-finals? Yes, in the last couple of years we have proven we
:38:13. > :38:21.can compete against them. We didn't quite have the game tonight but if
:38:21. > :38:25.we played them again we would have the game definitely.
:38:25. > :38:31.Can out of the second part of the round-up - earlier we brought you
:38:31. > :38:41.water-based athletes, now we return to dry inland and the men's
:38:41. > :38:47.
:38:47. > :38:55.basketball team. They beat China 90-58. Luol Deng and company end on
:38:55. > :39:05.a high after not finishing at the bottom of the table. The men's
:39:05. > :39:06.
:39:06. > :39:11.handball team had a standing ovation. The final loss of the day
:39:11. > :39:15.ended against Iceland. They depart as heroes, but the coach is set to
:39:15. > :39:22.depart and several key players will be calling it a day as well. The
:39:22. > :39:28.men's volleyball team also went into their final game without a win.
:39:28. > :39:38.They lost to Argentina 3-0. Let's have a look at the medal table
:39:38. > :39:49.
:39:49. > :39:59.Before we go, our traditional look at the newspapers. This is the
:39:59. > :40:00.
:40:00. > :40:06.times - a horse based theme. Blazing saddles, that was on the
:40:06. > :40:11.back of... Was that the Mirror? The Mirror Has Gone For Jason Kenny.
:40:11. > :40:17.The front page of the Independent has gone for golden oldies,
:40:17. > :40:22.mentioning the names of those who won the show jumping. That terrible
:40:22. > :40:27.headline of the day about Usain Bolt, a reference to the 200m. We
:40:27. > :40:31.are going to rattle through some questions for you. I know you would
:40:31. > :40:36.like to talk about stereotyping at these Olympics and power it has
:40:36. > :40:43.changed. You yes, I think the Olympics has subverted some gender
:40:43. > :40:48.stereotypes this time around. The founder didn't like women getting
:40:48. > :40:52.involved in the marathon, thought it was not feminine, and I think it
:40:52. > :40:59.is great they are punching their weight. Having women boxers, that
:40:59. > :41:05.was the last bastion of masculine dominated sport. We also have the
:41:05. > :41:10.first ever so deep female athlete competing in the judo, and in a
:41:10. > :41:17.nation where women can't drive, can one vote, can't stand for an
:41:17. > :41:22.election, in this case it could catalyse genuine change. If you can
:41:22. > :41:27.do these questions quickly that would be great. What about the
:41:27. > :41:31.psychological effects on the nation, how long would it last? I think the
:41:31. > :41:36.jury is out on that. We will either look back and say there was a
:41:36. > :41:43.genuine change in our national consciousness in 2012, and we will
:41:43. > :41:47.trace other things to it as we do about 1966, this could be a
:41:47. > :41:53.defining moment but the jury is out. A living in front of a home crowd
:41:53. > :42:00.is more fulfilling - is failing in front of a home crowd even more
:42:00. > :42:04.crushing than normal? Yes, the sliding doors are more severe.
:42:04. > :42:09.are you looking forward to anything in particular from the rest of the
:42:09. > :42:16.Olympic Games? I am looking forward to seeing who will be the iconic
:42:17. > :42:20.athletes. It could be Jessica Ennis, it could be Usain Bolt. Mo Farah?
:42:20. > :42:26.person have come to associate with this Olympic Games more than any
:42:26. > :42:33.other... I think the jury is out on that as well. Her many gold medals
:42:33. > :42:40.will Team GB win? We have a team at the moment. You said be quick. I
:42:40. > :42:45.will say 22. That is it for another Olympic Sportsday. Pleasure as
