Welcome, one and all. After a day without medals, the gold tap was

:00:21.:00:24.

turned back on again. We'll show you every twist and turn from Day

:00:24.:00:28.

13 at the Olympics and wedge as much action as we possibly can into

:00:28.:00:31.

the next 45 minutes. You know the name by now. This is Olympic

:00:32.:00:35.

Sportsday and this is what's coming Not one but two sensational

:00:35.:00:39.

performances in the Olympic Stadium tonight. Usain Bolt and David

:00:39.:00:43.

Rudisha both dominate their disciplines.

:00:43.:00:45.

After a medal-less day for Team GB yesterday, three golden girls

:00:45.:00:51.

turned it round today in dressage, boxing and taekwondo.

:00:51.:00:54.

And we'll round everything else up for you - including some right

:00:54.:01:02.

As always, we love it when you get involved. @mrdanwalker is where you

:01:03.:01:06.

can find us on Twitter. Your comments and questions are welcome

:01:06.:01:10.

and Paul Kelso of The Telegraph is standing by to rifle through them.

:01:10.:01:13.

Let's start with the man who went into the evening session in the

:01:13.:01:16.

stadium behind us here hoping to complete the 100, and 200m double

:01:16.:01:26.
:01:26.:01:36.

He has blown the more away! Usain Bolt triumphs in majestic style. He

:01:36.:01:46.
:01:46.:01:51.

Bold turns on the big engine. pulling away, he is going to win

:01:51.:02:00.

the gold medal! When it comes to the championships, I brought it.

:02:00.:02:03.

The champion becomes a legend. There was the normal overflowing

:02:03.:02:06.

confidence in the build-up to the race - Bolt was preening, posturing,

:02:06.:02:09.

playing with the crowd. Once again his countryman and training partner

:02:09.:02:13.

Yohan Blake was the man most likely to concern him once they settled in

:02:13.:02:23.
:02:23.:02:59.

This is what I wanted and I got it. I'm very proud of myself. I had a

:02:59.:03:04.

rough season, I came out here and I did what I had to do. Is it more

:03:04.:03:09.

special book to celebrate with these guys? Without a doubt. My

:03:09.:03:14.

coach will be going crazy now. We pushed each other. This is the end

:03:14.:03:20.

product. What about this guy? You pushed him hard all year. First and

:03:20.:03:27.

foremost, I have to thank God. And the coach, he has been there. Usain

:03:27.:03:32.

Bolt has motivated me all season. Everything has been going good.

:03:32.:03:37.

hope you might break a world record, was it in the air? Definitely, I

:03:37.:03:42.

think it was possible. I guess I wasn't fit enough. I was fast, but

:03:42.:03:48.

not fit enough. I could feel the strain on my back a little bit. I

:03:48.:03:54.

just tried to keep my form and brought it home. When I came off

:03:54.:04:00.

the corner, I could feel it. This year has not been the easiest for

:04:01.:04:06.

you. You said you were 90 does so - - 95% fit. Sum up what this means

:04:06.:04:16.
:04:16.:04:16.

for you. It is hard. I am really dedicated to my work and I know

:04:16.:04:20.

what London meant to me and I came it -- came here and did my best and

:04:20.:04:25.

I'm proud of myself. I really wanted to get the world record, but

:04:25.:04:31.

I am happy. He has managed to become the first athlete in history

:04:31.:04:35.

to retain the 100 and 200 at consecutive games and he did it

:04:35.:04:41.

with a bad back. Another incredible performance. Not bad to run the

:04:41.:04:46.

same time as Michael Johnson in 1996 with a bad back. In 1996 that

:04:46.:04:51.

seemed like the most amazing time you had seen in your life. But what

:04:51.:04:57.

a performance. He was completely composed. That first 120 metres was

:04:57.:05:01.

astonishing, he destroyed the field. He only had his team-mate to worry

:05:01.:05:06.

about and he had enough in the tank. The first thing that broke the line

:05:06.:05:11.

in the picture was the finger he brought to his lips. A lot of

:05:11.:05:16.

people asking about him being only 25. He might have the best years

:05:16.:05:21.

ahead of him. He will probably never be 100% fit again, but how

:05:22.:05:28.

long can he go on for? He said this evening that he is thinking about

:05:28.:05:35.

Rio. He is very conscience that Yohan Blake is 22. He has said many

:05:35.:05:40.

times this evening that I told Blake two years ago it that this

:05:40.:05:45.

Olympics is my time, but next time is yours. I suspect we will see him

:05:45.:05:51.

in Rio, but the question is how good he will be. A Jamaican one-

:05:51.:05:56.

two-three as well. Not much word from the Americans, but I imagine

:05:56.:06:02.

they will be disappointed. For all the changes we have seen in Team GB,

:06:02.:06:07.

there is still not a sprinting challenge. Absolutely. We have a

:06:07.:06:11.

population that should be producing sprinters. We've had a debate over

:06:12.:06:15.

Dwain Chambers for too long. The question should be why we are not

:06:15.:06:24.

producing kids. It is not bad to go back to the Jamaicans. It is not a

:06:24.:06:29.

bad team! I imagine there really is quite tasty. Did he say anything

:06:30.:06:35.

about a possible career in football? He was asked about all

:06:35.:06:41.

sorts of things. Including his ideal woman. He was asked whether

:06:41.:06:46.

he would be a better partner for Wayne Rooney than Robin van Persie.

:06:46.:06:50.

He thought he would be the perfect winner to provide service for them.

:06:50.:06:52.

Be it could fall into place perfectly.

:06:52.:06:55.

From one man who's dominating his event to another. David Rudisha has

:06:55.:06:59.

ruled the 800m for the past couple of years, and at the age of 23 has

:06:59.:07:03.

a long future ahead of him. As he lined up for tonight's final, there

:07:03.:07:05.

was an expectancy around the stadium that those lucky enough to

:07:05.:07:13.

be inside were about to see He wants to son -- he wants to make

:07:13.:07:19.

sure his performance goes into the record books as a great one. Andrew

:07:19.:07:24.

Osagie is hoping to run the race of Osagie is hoping to run the race of

:07:24.:07:27.

his life against the world record holder, the world champion. He is

:07:27.:07:32.

now attempting to become the Olympic champion, David Rudisha. He

:07:32.:07:35.

loves to be at the front. A beautiful running action. Kaki

:07:35.:07:45.
:07:45.:07:45.

comes across. The others have been sucked into this. For now, it is

:07:45.:07:49.

following the script everybody thought would happen. Rudisha at

:07:49.:07:55.

the front. He is stretching it out. A fast opening 300 metres. He is

:07:55.:08:02.

looking for a decent time of 50 seconds. Kaki is following him. The

:08:02.:08:07.

medals might be decided by the people that don't follow him. 49.2

:08:07.:08:13.

is a phenomenal opening. There have been Olympic records -- world

:08:13.:08:23.

record set in the Olympic Games at 800m. David Rudisha, the great

:08:23.:08:28.

athlete that he is. Key they have gone with him down the back

:08:28.:08:33.

straight. Can they hang on? Look at this. That is really, really quick

:08:33.:08:39.

through 600. A Mars moves into second place. Kitum has moved into

:08:39.:08:47.

third. It is all about David Rudisha. Already the world record

:08:47.:08:52.

holder, already the world champion. Striding away to become the Olympic

:08:52.:08:59.

champion. How quick will it be? Watch the clock. World record!

:08:59.:09:09.
:09:09.:09:20.

ever 800m race anyone has ever seen. ever 800m race anyone has ever seen.

:09:20.:09:25.

What a privilege to be here. This is the moment I've been waiting for

:09:25.:09:30.

for a very long time. To come here and break the world record is

:09:30.:09:36.

something unbelievable. To plan to win the gold medal is one thing, a

:09:36.:09:41.

world record is another, how long has that been in the making? I was

:09:41.:09:46.

well prepared his ear and I had no doubt about winning, but I was

:09:46.:09:48.

waiting for Dirk Kuyt -- perfect conditions to break the world

:09:48.:09:54.

record. Today the weather was beautiful. I decided to go for it.

:09:54.:10:00.

We glad he decided to go for it. Incredible achievement. Seb Coe has

:10:00.:10:04.

described it as one of the greatest runs in Olympic history. It was

:10:04.:10:07.

fantastic. I was looking forward to seeing him more than I was looking

:10:08.:10:12.

forward to seeing Bolt. We have probably seen the athletic

:10:12.:10:18.

performance of the Games. It was astonishing. He ran that without a

:10:18.:10:22.

pacemaker. He didn't need to run that fast to win the title, but he

:10:22.:10:26.

went for it. He said the weather was perfect and he felt like it.

:10:27.:10:31.

Kenyan says the weather was perfect in London! It was scintillating.

:10:31.:10:37.

Afterwards he said it would be fun to take on Usain Bolt at the 400m.

:10:37.:10:41.

He one thing that tells you how good this race was. Andrew Osagie,

:10:41.:10:46.

who has really come through, he came last but his time was quick

:10:46.:10:49.

enough to win the last three Olympic Games finals. That is

:10:49.:10:54.

ridiculous. It was. You look down the field and the stats, everybody

:10:54.:10:59.

had run a personal best, and national record, a season's best.

:10:59.:11:05.

They trailed in his wake. A fantastic run from Osagie. People

:11:05.:11:08.

do come from nowhere and he can take heart from that. Some thing

:11:08.:11:15.

else a lot of people has asked about. Where of the great middle-

:11:15.:11:22.

distance runners we have had in the past? Is that coming through? Was

:11:22.:11:28.

that maybe a golden period? certainly was. That period was

:11:28.:11:34.

started by Seb Coe, Steve Cram and Steve Ovett. That was before they

:11:34.:11:39.

were facing some great African runners. Before the real boom in

:11:39.:11:43.

East African running particularly. That is what has changed. We are

:11:43.:11:49.

not producing runners that quick and that good. But there's huge

:11:49.:11:52.

competition in the distance events and that is what made Mo Farah's

:11:53.:12:01.

victory on Saturday so great. We saw a run for the ages tonight.

:12:01.:12:08.

number of people saying that Bolt is fantastic for the Olympics, for

:12:08.:12:12.

athletics in general, but the problem is that when Bolt does

:12:12.:12:19.

anything, it detracts from Rudisha, one of the great track performances.

:12:20.:12:25.

It is up there with Michael Johnson's 400 in Atlanta in 1996.

:12:25.:12:29.

Atlanta -- absolutely. You don't see distance records going in

:12:29.:12:34.

Olympics. Some people I was talking to were uncomfortable with the Bolt

:12:34.:12:39.

lap of honour going on as David Rudisha was receiving his medal.

:12:39.:12:44.

The anthem was playing and I'm not sure Bolt was entirely aware that

:12:44.:12:50.

he was possibly distracting the crowd. But in the TV interview, he

:12:50.:12:55.

stopped to applaud the Rudisha. Half the guys in the stadium were

:12:55.:13:00.

still on the man in yellow. Probably not his problem, our fault

:13:00.:13:03.

for adoring him so much and looking it at the wonder that he produces.

:13:03.:13:06.

Let's wrap up some of the other action this evening, starting with

:13:06.:13:09.

a gold medal for America's Christian Taylor in the triple jump.

:13:09.:13:13.

He added the Olympic title to his world crown with a superb leap of

:13:13.:13:16.

17.81, the longest in the world this year. He finished ahead of

:13:16.:13:18.

fellow Team USA member Will Claye with Italy's Fabrizio Donato taking

:13:18.:13:23.

bronze. Another American took gold in the

:13:23.:13:26.

decathlon, with Ashton Eaton claiming the top prize. He set a

:13:26.:13:29.

new world record at the US trials and although he couldn't repeat

:13:29.:13:33.

that here, he proved too strong for the rest of the field. He had a

:13:33.:13:36.

151-point lead going into the final event, the 1500m, and never looked

:13:36.:13:40.

like relinquishing it. He took gold ahead of team mate Trey Hardee,

:13:40.:13:46.

with Cuban Leonel Suarez with the bronze.

:13:47.:13:50.

Czech Barbora Spotakova has won the gold medal in the women's javelin,

:13:50.:13:55.

successfully defending her title. A throw of 69.55 was good enough to

:13:55.:13:57.

claim the competition, with two Germans, Christina Obergfoll and

:13:57.:14:02.

Linda Stahl, taking silver and bronze.

:14:02.:14:04.

The other notable event tonight was Caster Semenya qualifying easily

:14:04.:14:09.

for the final of the 800m. She won her semi-final, setting a season's

:14:09.:14:16.

best in the process of 1:57.67. Britain's Lyndsay Sharp failed to

:14:16.:14:22.

make it through to the final. A couple of other bits to wrap up

:14:22.:14:30.

in athletics. This from the morning session. After failing to make the

:14:30.:14:34.

final of the 400m, Oscar Pistorius was hoping to have his day in the

:14:34.:14:37.

4x4 relay, but it looked as though his Olympics were over following

:14:37.:14:41.

this. While he waited to run the third for South Africa, his team-

:14:41.:14:44.

mate Ofentse Mogawane collided with Kenya's Vincent Kiilu and was sent

:14:44.:14:48.

sprawling to the track. The Kenyan continued, but Mogawane dislocated

:14:48.:14:52.

his shoulder and was unable to carry on. Kenya were disqualified,

:14:52.:14:55.

South Africa won an appeal and have now been allowed to run in the

:14:55.:15:05.
:15:05.:15:07.

final where they will go from lane While all that was going on, the

:15:07.:15:11.

British quartet qualified comfortably for the final. Martyn

:15:11.:15:14.

Rooney took them home as they finished a close second to Trinidad

:15:14.:15:20.

and Tobago. The final four matches tomorrow. High time we got on with

:15:20.:15:25.

the favourite part of the show, and more Tweeds came in about the

:15:25.:15:30.

global round-up. Mike says he loves it so much he has shaved it into

:15:30.:15:36.

the back of his head. We have beach volleyball, diving, tae kwon do,

:15:36.:15:42.

and wrestling. Every single day of the Olympics, China had struck gold

:15:42.:15:52.
:15:52.:15:57.

and it was never going to be was never in doubt. Now, your

:15:57.:16:01.

mother always told she could never count your chickens. The Australian

:16:01.:16:04.

water polo team must have been under water when the lesson was

:16:04.:16:08.

dished out. Seconds away from the victory, they started celebrating,

:16:08.:16:18.
:16:18.:16:19.

McCormack has lasted! Hungary have the equaliser. A on face for a

:16:19.:16:22.

little while, but the Australians but hated their coach by winning

:16:22.:16:28.

the bronze in the overtime. In the final, the USA outclassed Spain for

:16:28.:16:35.

a golden moment. According to the internet, Brazil has 47 beaches of

:16:35.:16:40.

note compared to one in Germany. So the Germans won the men's beach

:16:40.:16:45.

volleyball, obviously. In sport, it's not often you see the best of

:16:45.:16:50.

the best, but here she is. The Japanese wrestler made it three

:16:50.:16:54.

Olympic titles in a row and has obviously had plenty of time to

:16:54.:17:04.
:17:04.:17:06.

This Russian has time on her side for more of these moments, only 21-

:17:06.:17:11.

year-old. People are don't look -- of going out to start -- stop

:17:11.:17:21.
:17:21.:17:24.

laughing at Australia as they creep It is now three golds on the water

:17:24.:17:27.

for Australia in two days. When it comes to sprinting, it seems the

:17:27.:17:32.

German rule in both the kayak and the canoe. The women's pair became

:17:32.:17:36.

Olympic champions, as did the men. And just what you need when you

:17:36.:17:42.

have reached the pinnacle of your sport, a nice, slobbering kiss.

:17:42.:17:47.

There has been a lot of talk about inspiring a generation at 2012, but

:17:47.:17:52.

it seems Afghanistan arrowhead or verse. This was the reaction back

:17:52.:17:58.

home -- ahead of us. This was the reaction when they got through to

:17:58.:18:04.

the quarter-finals of the tae kwon do back home. They would have been

:18:04.:18:13.

even more happy when they secured a I don't seem to remember this

:18:13.:18:19.

happening on Daley Thompson's decathlon on the ZX Spectrum. He

:18:19.:18:29.
:18:29.:18:32.

clears the bar easily, only for the of Ross -- the US who ran the last

:18:32.:18:37.

bit of the relay with a broken leg. Hard as nails, tough as teak. We

:18:37.:18:45.

Lot has been said about the crowd at the Olympics and the loudest

:18:45.:18:52.

venue has been deep excel arena during the Katie Taylor fight. --

:18:52.:18:57.

The Excel Arena. Nicola Adams was hoping to make her own bit of

:18:57.:19:00.

history by becoming the first woman to take an Olympic title in the

:19:01.:19:10.
:19:11.:19:20.

The winner by a score of 16-7, and Words that 29 year-old Nicola Adams

:19:20.:19:24.

had waited more than half her life to here, and believe it or not,

:19:24.:19:28.

this was not the punch that sealed a place in history as the first

:19:28.:19:33.

woman to become an Olympic boxing champion. In the amateur code, and

:19:33.:19:36.

knock down scores just one point, the same as any other successful

:19:36.:19:42.

blow. But there were plenty of them as well. Adams, with a significant

:19:42.:19:47.

advantage as we move into the final 30 seconds of the third round.

:19:47.:19:52.

the more impressive to take 814-5 lead against a woman she described

:19:52.:20:02.
:20:02.:20:03.

as her nemesis, Cancan Ren of China. And British rock Singh -- boxing

:20:03.:20:07.

had a new hero. The 20th goal of the game celebrated in style by the

:20:07.:20:11.

woman who had fought so long to win it. I dreamt about this since I was

:20:11.:20:16.

12. The moment has finally come. I have my gold medal for Great

:20:16.:20:21.

Britain, number one, this is what I have been working for. We got the

:20:21.:20:26.

tactics spot-on. I have trained hard, worked hard and after my

:20:26.:20:31.

injury I didn't think I would box again. To get a gold medal, I

:20:31.:20:36.

couldn't top it off. This is what dreams are made of. If they thought

:20:36.:20:39.

she took a good reception, they haven't heard anything yet. Katie

:20:39.:20:42.

Taylor carried the flag at the Irish opening ceremony, and she

:20:42.:20:46.

carried their best hope for a gold medal into the ring. She got off to

:20:46.:20:55.

a slow start against Ochigava or a -- but she struck off -- rubbed off

:20:55.:21:01.

the hopes of a nation and their worries in staff. She won Ireland's

:21:01.:21:04.

first goal of the Games. After the first bell she knew she had done

:21:04.:21:08.

enough. How long will the celebrations going Ireland? I don't

:21:08.:21:14.

know. I'll have a great time and I go home, so it will be many, Meli

:21:14.:21:21.

celebrations. In the third final of the night, Claressa Shields made

:21:21.:21:27.

history. The 17-year-old Greek -- beat Torlopova to become the sexist

:21:27.:21:34.

youngest boxer to win the gold. -- the Russian boxer. And Nicola Adams

:21:34.:21:38.

says she wants to defend her title in four years time. Why to

:21:38.:21:43.

spectacle in the arena, but Nicola Adams, the way she conducts herself.

:21:43.:21:48.

So many people saying it is the smile both during and after. There

:21:48.:21:52.

is something special about are the main issue smile when you see her

:21:52.:21:57.

in action, even though she's hitting someone. It was incredible.

:21:57.:22:01.

I was in the press centre, just up the park, and you don't often see

:22:01.:22:06.

her room rising to its feet and I think there were even more smiles.

:22:06.:22:11.

She just has a smile that lights up the room. A fantastic performance.

:22:11.:22:17.

A real tear up and she boxed her ears off. Her mum took her to a row

:22:17.:22:21.

Bix in Leeds and when she was sitting watching she sure the boys

:22:21.:22:26.

boxing -- a row of bricks. Incredible single mindedness. She

:22:26.:22:31.

was not even in the Olympics back then. It has been a big campaign to

:22:31.:22:36.

get the sport into the game's which gathered pace after London winning

:22:36.:22:40.

the right to have the Games because you need quality along the sport,

:22:40.:22:45.

and that is one of the aims of the IOC. All sorts of professional

:22:45.:22:49.

promoters have said that they do not agree with women's boxing, but

:22:49.:22:54.

it is fabulously entertaining and she's a great champion, as is Katie

:22:54.:22:59.

Taylor. They have silenced a few critics. One room I hope is truer

:22:59.:23:02.

than Nicola Adams is that apparently her dog was in the

:23:02.:23:06.

kennels and she paid for a TV so the dog could watch it. Please be

:23:06.:23:12.

true! Katie Taylor, the Irish have at champion and they were so

:23:12.:23:17.

overjoyed, the crowd, thousands of Irish fans. You wonder what could

:23:17.:23:24.

light up the crowds even more, and lots of happy Irish people. I

:23:24.:23:28.

walked past the big screen she won the medal, and the trickle laws

:23:28.:23:33.

came out and it was amazing. Amazing to watch them both taking

:23:33.:23:38.

gold today. The build-up to the tae kwon do competition has been about

:23:38.:23:43.

the controversy with Aaron Cook -- airing Cook and the story of Sarah

:23:43.:23:46.

Stephenson. But there were two other competitors keen to make

:23:46.:23:51.

their mark. Jade Jones and Martin Stamper were in action, and they

:23:51.:23:58.

did rather well, especially Jade Jones who became Olympic champion.

:23:58.:24:03.

She beat the world No. 1 from Chinese Taipei, with a late rally,

:24:03.:24:07.

including a kick to the head but her three. It followed earlier wins

:24:07.:24:14.

against the Serbian. Then, in the final she was up against the

:24:14.:24:20.

Chinese, and after a cagey opening, she went into the final round with

:24:20.:24:26.

a two-point lead, closing out to seal it 6-4 to become Britain's

:24:26.:24:33.

first tae kwon do gold medallist, and she loved it. She took my world

:24:33.:24:39.

championship final, and she would not let me -- I would not let her

:24:39.:24:43.

beat me here in front of my home crowd. The last two and a half

:24:43.:24:49.

years, and you must be so proud. She knows I am so proud of her. The

:24:49.:24:53.

work this girl has put in over the last six months has been ridiculous.

:24:53.:24:57.

Getting up at 6am, doing extra training. Ridiculous. We have had

:24:57.:25:01.

ups and downs, she has been in tears every other day, but she is a

:25:01.:25:06.

fighter and she works hard. She is like a male athlete. In the female

:25:06.:25:11.

department, she really is. I am so proud of her and she delivers under

:25:11.:25:15.

pressure, and she did again today. You have achieved something that

:25:15.:25:21.

even Sarah Stephenson has and. to be the first ever British

:25:21.:25:27.

athlete to win an Olympic gold in tae kwon do, it is amazing. Martin

:25:27.:25:36.

Stamper also made the semi-finals of the 68 kilogram category. He

:25:36.:25:42.

came unstuck against the top seed from Turkey who was that 2011 world

:25:42.:25:46.

and European champion and a bronze medallist in Beijing. Stamper gave

:25:46.:25:51.

it his best but was beaten 9-6. He got the chance to fight for a

:25:51.:25:57.

bronze, but the Afghani we saw in the round-up was too good on the

:25:57.:26:02.

night. But still an impressive performance from Stamper. I have to

:26:02.:26:07.

ask you about Jade Jones. Excitement about Nicola Adams, but

:26:07.:26:10.

also a bad Jade Jones. These young women have flourished on become

:26:10.:26:15.

superstars. The first time I have seen the celebration and it is

:26:15.:26:18.

fantastic. A huge amount of controversy with the tae kwon do.

:26:18.:26:24.

They have taken a battering and I have dished some of it out in those

:26:24.:26:28.

situations but I always said it was a world-class programme and that is

:26:28.:26:34.

a vindication. You are going to see Mohamed tomorrow, and there will be

:26:34.:26:37.

some questions, and the performance will be scrutinised. He will be,

:26:38.:26:41.

and it will be tough on him, because he is there instead of the

:26:41.:26:46.

world No. 1. That was an unfortunate by-product of a

:26:46.:26:51.

contentious selection. All he can do is see what his team-mates have

:26:51.:26:54.

done and be inspired. He will get the backing from those crowds and

:26:54.:26:59.

everyone watching, regardless of what went before. Well done, Jade

:26:59.:27:03.

Jones. A wonderful moment when Sue Barker handed from the individual

:27:03.:27:08.

dressage to the women whacking each other at the XL arena. We have seen

:27:08.:27:11.

the boxing where Adams won gold, but time to find that he won the

:27:12.:27:17.

battle of the dancing horses with Joe Wilson. A final day of the

:27:17.:27:20.

equestrian at the London Olympics and the one they waited for. 20,000

:27:21.:27:26.

people gripped by the spectacle of the freestyle. Horse and rider are

:27:26.:27:29.

judged not on just control but creativity. For those involved in

:27:29.:27:34.

the sport, it is the ultimate. Laura Bechtolsheimer was the first

:27:35.:27:41.

to go, in time with the medley from the Lion King. The judges said

:27:41.:27:45.

83.4%. First place, for a while. The Netherlands are strong in the

:27:45.:27:55.
:27:55.:28:00.

sport. She excelled, with a Charlotte Dujardin. The Great

:28:00.:28:04.

Escape? This routine broke the British record in the competition

:28:04.:28:10.

before the Olympics and it seemed to go pretty well. Then the wait

:28:10.:28:17.

for the score. Look and listen. Over 90% for the north Londoner

:28:17.:28:21.

with a French name. She'd only been competing internationally for a

:28:21.:28:31.
:28:31.:28:31.

Unbelievable. I'm emotional about it. But he gave it everything today.

:28:31.:28:36.

And gold and bronze for Dujardin and Bechtolsheimer. Five equestrian

:28:36.:28:41.

medals at the game, a record. With the last event complete, the broad

:28:41.:28:44.

reflection on the event is encouraging for the Great Britain.

:28:44.:28:48.

For the first time ever they won medals across all disciplines. For

:28:48.:28:51.

the riders and equine athletes, they have never been Olympic Days

:28:51.:28:57.

Four years ago in Beijing, Keri- Anne Payne won Olympic silver in

:28:57.:29:00.

the open water swin so today, in Hyde Park, the world champion was

:29:00.:29:03.

one of the strong favourites to take the gold in the Serpentine in

:29:03.:29:07.

front of a noisy home crowd. The weather was perfect, conditions

:29:07.:29:14.

ideal, and this is what happened. ideal, and this is what happened.

:29:14.:29:17.

20 minutes or so left and Keri-Anne Payne started well. She normally

:29:17.:29:27.
:29:27.:29:28.

likes to start quickly. Leading from Australia. How on earth do you

:29:28.:29:35.

find your staff in that? Are your staff! You can nick somebody else's

:29:35.:29:42.

bottle. Absolute mayhem. Total wipeout. That is nonsense. That is

:29:42.:29:48.

like a bad night club. She is looking more comfortable now. We've

:29:48.:29:54.

got about 150 metres to the next feeding station. Not that far to go.

:29:54.:30:01.

About half an hour to go. It looks like they are bunching up a little

:30:01.:30:07.

bit again. Keri-Anne Payne in an efficient place. She is going to

:30:07.:30:12.

get the gold, for a Hungarian. The Silver has gone to Andersson of the

:30:12.:30:19.

USA. Keri-Anne Payne did just USA. Keri-Anne Payne did just

:30:19.:30:23.

behind in fourth place. So close! It just didn't go my way from the

:30:23.:30:29.

start. I really tried to get back up to the lead. I guess it shows

:30:29.:30:35.

that they played me at my own game. She did such a great job. How much

:30:35.:30:42.

were you hoping during the last lap? I was hurting most of the swim.

:30:42.:30:47.

I missed the bottle and from then I really struggled. I was probably

:30:47.:30:53.

working too hard. Then I just had to get back to a good position. I

:30:53.:30:57.

got there but I did not have enough at the end. Is that it for you in

:30:57.:31:01.

open-water swimming? Is that your last one? I don't know. I'm not

:31:01.:31:08.

sure how things will go. It will be my last one for a while. We will

:31:08.:31:15.

see. It is not the last of me in swimming. For a Hungarian wins the

:31:15.:31:22.

gold Medal in the women's 10,000m open water. She led almost from the

:31:23.:31:27.

stunt -- gun and deserved everything she got.

:31:27.:31:32.

A lot of people treating about Keri-Anne Payne. Emily says she was

:31:32.:31:37.

in Hyde Park today. People saying it is so hard to watch somebody put

:31:37.:31:41.

in that much effort and come so close to the podium. An obvious

:31:42.:31:49.

disappointment. Four hundredth of a second after 10 kilometres is quite

:31:49.:31:55.

harsh. It was an incredible swim. They took it out so early and

:31:55.:32:02.

stretch them. Keri-Anne Payne tends to win from the front. That is the

:32:02.:32:07.

hardest way to do it. She was never really been the place she wanted to

:32:07.:32:13.

be. Another swimming hope he got a lot of hype who hasn't delivered.

:32:13.:32:16.

Michael says please remind people of how violent open-water swimming

:32:17.:32:22.

is. It is not the greatest spectator sport in the world. But

:32:22.:32:26.

there's so much fighting going on in the pack. It is incredibly

:32:26.:32:33.

physical. It is like Swan wrestling! An underwater camera

:32:33.:32:39.

showed us how violent it is would be a great tradition.

:32:40.:32:42.

Wembley was packed out tonight for the women's football final. A crowd

:32:42.:32:46.

of 80,203 was the largest ever to see a women's football match at the

:32:46.:32:49.

Olympics. After their last minute injury time win over Canada in the

:32:49.:32:52.

semis, the USA went into the game as favourites to retain their title

:32:52.:32:53.

as favourites to retain their title against the world champions Japan.

:32:54.:32:57.

And they started very well as Carli Lloyd gave them the lead inside the

:32:57.:33:00.

first ten minutes And shortly after half-time, Lloyd struck again with

:33:00.:33:03.

a great goal to make it 2-0 to the Americans Yuki Ogeemi pulled one

:33:03.:33:07.

back for Japan, and with half an hour to go had plenty of time to

:33:07.:33:10.

complete the comeback, but the USA hung on to clinch the gold medal

:33:10.:33:19.

and retain their title. The bronze medal match was decided

:33:19.:33:23.

in dramatic fashion at the City of Coventry Stadium. Canada won it

:33:23.:33:28.

against France with an injury time winner. They were largely outplayed

:33:28.:33:31.

by the French, but Diana Matheson struck to give the Canucks their

:33:31.:33:39.

Now, regular viewers of this show will know that when Team GB are in

:33:39.:33:42.

hockey action, we like to bring you all the highlights in a nice two or

:33:42.:33:46.

three-minute chunk with a bit of Barry Davies magic. But we can't do

:33:46.:33:49.

that tonight because there were just too many goals in the men's

:33:49.:33:52.

semi final against the Netherlands. And most of them were in the Great

:33:52.:33:55.

Britain net. The Dutch took an early two-goal lead, but when Team

:33:55.:33:57.

GB pulled one back, we thought a GB pulled one back, we thought a

:33:57.:34:02.

fightback was on the cards. How wrong we were. The Netherlands then

:34:02.:34:06.

went on to score another seven to GB's one, making the final score 9-

:34:06.:34:09.

2. It really was a humiliating defeat for the home side who are

:34:09.:34:12.

trying to win a hockey medal for the first time since they reached

:34:12.:34:16.

the final, and won it, in 1988. Two Dutch players, Billy Bakker and

:34:16.:34:18.

Roderick Weusthof, scored hat- tricks as they inflicted the

:34:18.:34:28.
:34:28.:34:35.

heaviest Olympic semi-final defeat At 2-1, we were back in it. Even at

:34:35.:34:39.

4-1 at the start of the second half. We had a few corners and then had a

:34:39.:34:46.

good chance against the goalkeeper. They got a little break and they

:34:46.:34:54.

scored. The timing of the goals hit people. It knocked us back a bit

:34:54.:34:58.

and when they get a head like that, they are brilliant players and they

:34:58.:35:02.

just went and played hockey and they were pretty special. The Dutch

:35:02.:35:05.

will meet Germany in the final after they put in a brilliant

:35:05.:35:08.

performance to beat world champions and red hot favourites Australia.

:35:08.:35:11.

They were trailing 1-0 and then 2-1, but scored three unanswered goals

:35:11.:35:15.

to complete a memorable 4-2 victory. Germany will now set out to defend

:35:15.:35:19.

the title they won four years ago in Beijing. Australia will meet

:35:19.:35:27.

Team GB for bronze. You saw the dejection on the great British

:35:27.:35:31.

hockey team. Same for the women last night. Both had high hopes in

:35:31.:35:37.

this tournament and there has been 15,000 there for every game.

:35:37.:35:42.

Unfortunately bronzes the best they can do. We really did have high

:35:42.:35:48.

hopes. We thought this was an opportunity for one of them to come

:35:48.:35:53.

through, the women particularly. The women lost three in a row in

:35:53.:35:57.

the final analysis. Something slightly familiar about an 11 aside

:35:58.:36:04.

British team losing to Dutch and Argentine opposition. We can say

:36:04.:36:10.

they will take encouragement, but the Olympics were a great chance.

:36:10.:36:13.

Hard to come back for bronze-medal match when you have been hammered.

:36:13.:36:17.

That will be hard. The Australians will take anything they can get at

:36:17.:36:23.

these Games. A tough game coming up. I said to Sally Pearson yesterday

:36:23.:36:27.

that Australia were not having a good games.

:36:27.:36:30.

BMX bandit Liam Phillips is through to the semi-finals of the men's

:36:30.:36:32.

competition after a very encouraging performance in today's

:36:32.:36:35.

quarter-final runs. Phillips finished second to American Connor

:36:35.:36:38.

Fields in each of his first three runs, which was good enough to put

:36:38.:36:41.

him through to tomorrow's semis. He also finished second to Fields in

:36:41.:36:44.

the time-trial at the World Championships in May, only to

:36:44.:36:47.

suffer a fractured collarbone a day later. He thought he'd never

:36:47.:36:50.

compete at the Games, but made it thanks to a remarkable speedy

:36:50.:36:57.

recovery. But if you needed a reminder of what can happen in BMX

:36:57.:37:02.

races, look no further. How about this for a multi bike pile-up,

:37:02.:37:08.

which apparently drew an audible gasp from the spectators. Pretty

:37:08.:37:18.
:37:18.:37:21.

spectacular but thankfully no-one Even him! He had a cranium full of

:37:21.:37:24.

tarmac. I'm not sure that phrase will catch on.

:37:24.:37:28.

Now let's round up all things Team GB from today. We'll start at Eton

:37:28.:37:31.

Dorney, where Rachel Cawthorn was in the final of the single kayak.

:37:31.:37:34.

She went into the race after having won her heat and finished second in

:37:34.:37:37.

the semi-final and was hopeful for a medal. Unfortunately, she

:37:37.:37:39.

couldn't repeat that form and eventually trailed in sixth. She

:37:39.:37:42.

admitted afterwards that she allowed nerves to get the better of

:37:42.:37:44.

her. Francesca, or Frankie, Jones is in

:37:44.:37:47.

21st place at the halfway stage of qualifying for the individual all-

:37:47.:37:51.

around rhythmic gymnastics competition. She was among 24

:37:51.:37:54.

gymnasts who competed with the ball and hoop today, with the ribbon and

:37:54.:37:58.

club routines to come tomorrow. The top ten will go through to

:37:58.:38:03.

Saturday's final. Meanwhile in the team competition,

:38:03.:38:07.

Great Britain are 11th overall and need to finish in the top eight to

:38:07.:38:10.

make the final. It is the first time Team GB have been represented

:38:10.:38:14.

at an Olympic Games in the group all-around competition. The team of

:38:14.:38:17.

five - Rachel Smith, Louisa Pouli, Francesca Fox, Lynne Hutchison and

:38:17.:38:20.

Jade Faulkner - put in one of their best performances and were overcome

:38:20.:38:27.

with joy when the scores flashed up. The competition continues tomorrow.

:38:27.:38:30.

From gymnastics on a mat to gymnastics in the water and Great

:38:30.:38:33.

Britain ended day one of the synchronised swimming team final in

:38:33.:38:37.

sixth position. There are eight teams competitng for gold, with the

:38:37.:38:40.

technical routine today and the free tomorrow. Ice skating gold

:38:40.:38:43.

medallist Robin Cousins has been helping Team GB with their

:38:43.:38:48.

preparations. Olga Butkevych's Olympics lasted

:38:48.:38:51.

just six minutes after she was beaten in the opening round of the

:38:51.:38:54.

wrestling. The Ukranian-born Briton was a controversial selection,

:38:54.:39:01.

having only gained British citizenship in May. She was Team

:39:01.:39:04.

GB's only wrestler entered for the Games and was expected to reach the

:39:04.:39:11.

quarter-finals. And patience required for Luke

:39:11.:39:14.

Patience and Stuart Bithell - their bid for glory will have to wait

:39:14.:39:18.

another day. A lack of wind in Weymouth meant their 470 medal race

:39:18.:39:21.

had to be postponed. The British duo are guaranteed a silver and

:39:21.:39:24.

will race against the Australian crew for the gold in the

:39:24.:39:34.
:39:34.:39:35.

Three more golds for Team GB today. 25 golds and 52 medals in all and

:39:35.:39:43.

look pretty secure in third place, Predictably, most of the paper talk

:39:43.:39:46.

tomorrow is of that man - Jamaica's gold medal machine Usain Bolt,

:39:46.:39:56.
:39:56.:40:20.

after his record-breaking double- The one story that has come out

:40:20.:40:24.

tonight is apparently the police are studying footage of Usain

:40:24.:40:30.

Bolt's victory lap. Somebody has nicked his necklace, which he is

:40:30.:40:35.

not happy about. Hopefully that will turn up tomorrow. I hope he

:40:35.:40:39.

has got a good turn of foot because Usain Bolt will catch him! They

:40:39.:40:46.

will be in trouble. In the wonderful world of technology, why

:40:46.:40:50.

do athletes still have sheets of paper on their chest? Some of them

:40:50.:40:55.

now have chips in them. They fall off far too much. The numbers and

:40:55.:41:02.

labels fall off. David says, he is enjoying these Olympics but he is

:41:02.:41:10.

worried about the future of -- sport in schools. That is right.

:41:10.:41:15.

There's a danger this opportunity passes us by. We've known this is

:41:15.:41:19.

coming. School sport has to be a priority and it hasn't been in the

:41:19.:41:23.

past. We've seen the benefit of the enjoyment the country has drawn

:41:23.:41:28.

from this. I would love to see it as a major policy commitment.

:41:28.:41:34.

always get people asking for your highlight of the Games. Most people

:41:34.:41:40.

have gone for that Saturday night. Has anything stood out for you?

:41:40.:41:45.

many. They are stacking up. I thought it was a clear picture

:41:45.:41:49.

after Saturday night. Rudisha was as good as anything I've ever seen.

:41:49.:41:52.

But I was saying that about Mo Farah a couple of days ago. If Mo

:41:52.:41:57.

Farah doubles up on Saturday, he will still have it. Those track

:41:57.:42:01.

moments stand out. There's a negative opinion if of the media in

:42:01.:42:05.

this country on occasions. A lot of people saying you must be desperate

:42:05.:42:11.

to write a negative story because there's been so much positivity.

:42:11.:42:21.

We've come into this and been surprised. You will always cautious

:42:21.:42:25.

about saying things. Everything has gone fantastically well. We are

:42:26.:42:31.

running out of superlatives. That's it for us. Two to go. Thank you for

:42:31.:42:36.

watching. A hat-trick of appearances for you, Paul. We will

:42:36.:42:43.

be back tomorrow. No gold medals on Wednesday, but today GB hit back

:42:43.:42:53.
:42:53.:42:53.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

:42:53.:43:43.

Charlotte Dujardin has iced the cake in style and Britain has got

:43:43.:43:48.

another gold medal! The teenage kicking superstar from North Wales

:43:48.:43:53.

is the Olympic champion. Nicola Adams of Great Britain has just
