Day 5: Full Round-Up Olympic Sportsday

Greetings, day five has run its course, but we are getting going.

We will dangle a few of these babies and cram everything we know

into the next 45 minutes. This is Olympic Sportsday. Double gold the

Team GB and we will reflect on the women's per and Bradley Wiggins who

did the business today. A silver medal for Michael Jamieson.

We will make sure you know where all of the gold medals have gone.

So much to talk about, you can join in. Send in your questions and

comments and we will put as many as we can to a guest. He has covered

10 Olympic games, we are joined by Patrick Collins from the Mail on

Sunday. We have heard a lot about Great Britain's gold medals, but we

will begin with an evening session in the pool. He seat in the aquatic

centre was the hottest ticket. A British medal, what more can you

aquatic centre from the off. Glaswegian, Michael Jamieson

qualified fastest for the final in the 200m breaststroke. In the lane

next to him, Andrew Willis. They were up against the Sukie de to

Gina. He had won gold at this events at the previous Olympics.

But it is a younger man's game and it was Daniel were to a who would

leave the rest trailing in his wake. The Hungarian going for it straight

from the off. It was Janus and he would rise to the challenge. Daniel

quirk say had been hounded all the way to the finish line. But a new

British record for Michael Jamieson. I had planned for this night and it

helped with my nerves beforehand. I had gone over this night and how I

would prepare for it. I cannot believe it, I am so delighted.

medals but a decent 6th place for Jemma Lowe in the 200m butterfly.

It was an Olympic final and I was happy to get into it. It just

wasn't my day today. Olympic margins of success and failure are

just tips of fingernails. A shock in the final of the 100m freestyle.

What a sight, two giants of the deep in the semi-final of the men's

individual medley. Michael Phelps RYAN LOCHTE, and it was Ryan Lochte

who took the honours. Finishing quietly in third, James Goddard. He

will be in the final. All eyes this evening were on Michael Jamieson, a

talented footballer in his youth, the Celtic fan opted to make a

What a well-spoken young man. Patrick, some professional sports

men and women are almost scared of success. Some fear it a little bit.

He said it was planned, he had thought about it and was so close

to not only a world record but a gold medal? His attitude is fitting

in with the British team so far. Modest but not unaware of his

ability. They played the race live at Celtic Park tonight. I am sure

they would have enjoyed it. Absolutely. In terms of the British

challenge in the pool, everyone has spoken about the noise in there.

Many watching won't have had a ticket, but describe but the

atmosphere is like when a Briton has the chance of a medal? I was

amazed to find myself shouting along. You go through the pretence

of impartiality, but of course you want the British athlete to win.

Are shouting with the rest, it was bouncing back off the walls tonight.

It was terrific. As they came out, when they went on the blocks and

then write to the end. It was incredible. Everyone mentioned how

they had been encouraged by it for start quite a few Australians were

annoyed at the way they have been performing so far. Niche the Beast

on Twitter says, why are the Aussies having a miserable time in

the pool? Don't you feel sorry for them? Even their cricket team go

through bad times. But there system is terrific. The Institute of Sport

in Canberra. Of late they have not been turning them out in the same

numbers. It was interesting in the relay how they were going head-to-

head with the Americans like the old days. Patrick, you are

immaculately shaved, but there are fake sideburns out there. Last

month Bradley Wiggins became the first cyclist in history from

Britain to win the Tour de France. Today he was attempting to achieve

what was impossible, following the Olympic -- yellow jersey with an

Olympic gold. What a month it has been. The Tour de France and the

time trials, it won't get any better than that. Bradley Wiggins

had to wait before mounting his challenge to gold. Chris Froome was

the other half of team Jean be, but no tactics to worry about. The

riders left at the 90 second intervals. One by one, the big guns

left the start line, although one of them misfired.

COMMENTATOR - he has just snapped his change. The race effectively

over for Sanchez, after a couple of seconds. No such misfortune the

Tony Martin from Germany. And he had retired from the Tour de France

with a fractured wrist, but it was back on form. Bradley Wiggins was

hot on his tail. Once the riders had passed the second split the

lead was back in British hands. Chris Froome was third. The

reigning champion was falling back, brave even to be racing after a

nasty fall. Chris Froome was riding into contention for a medal,

carrying on his impressive form. At the checkpoint, Wiggins was faster.

A gold medal beckons as the crowd in Kingston and roared him towards

the finish. Chris Froome crossed the line to post the best time, now

he could only wait as the last six riders came home. Martin stormed

past 26 second faster to guarantee Germany a silver. Now it was

Bradley Wiggins and the clock for more sporting history. Bradley

Wiggins up to the line. This will be a gold and ride for Wiggins.

Bradley Wiggins and knows how to send a crowd home with a happy glow.

It had to be gold or nothing. What is the point in having seven medals

if they are not the right colour. I have now got to carry on to Rio.

The message from increasingly adoring British public to the best

decorated British Olympian of all- time is, keeper on going on.

People have been raving about his performance. You were first in 1972,

but that performance in perspective for us in terms of what you have

seen over the years? Kim British terms, there is very little like it.

The manner in which this man has gone about it is astonishing. I

wouldn't want to pre-empt your Sports Personality of the Year, but

nobody else should win it will stop he has had an amazing year. I think

he has won that already. He is an unlikely hero. And he does not like

the limelight, a little bit shy but a great sense of humour. He likes

to be individual with the sideburns and his choice of dress. Everybody

wants to be like him, now he is unhappy with the position he is in.

His single-mindedness is extraordinary. You can have all

that talent and preparation, but to have the certainty will perform

exactly in the way you intend to perform, your body will obey you in

that way, was impressive. He said something impressive afterwards, he

said he was inspired as a kid by Chris Boardman. And he was in the

crowd and he saw Chris Boardman and thought it was fantastic. He said

there was a child watching the race today he would be inspired by him.

He was thinking beyond glory. That is what the legacy means. The women

were also in action, high hopes for Emma Pooley. She finished 6th in

the women's time trial and Lizzie Armistead was 10th. It was won by

Kristin Armstrong from America, the defending champion.

One lady says, we have four kids, two wanted a bike after that Tour

de France, now the other two are badgering me tomorrow. The

velodrome starts tomorrow, this could be another incredible week

for British cycling? It goes to the original Velodrome in Manchester,

getting Chris Boardman to start with. Growing in numbers and then

you promote your own heroes. The way cycling has done it has been an

amazing example of how to run sport. Very few sports in this country are

run as well as that. The police were worried that Bradley Wiggins

was averaging 31 mph in a 30 mph speed zone.

On the Tube, it was announced that Britain have won their first gold

medal, but nobody knew who it was. Of course it was in the rowing.

COMMENTATOR: great Britain have to jump out of the starting gate. It

is simply stunning from Helen Glover and Heather stunning. They

have got this sewn up and it looks fabulous. Great Britain are the

Olympic champions. Wasn't is worth the wait? Anxiety over and the

country can relax. When I heard the roar from the crowd, I just knew.

It was an incredible feeling. The last 50m was like, don't mess this

up. We hope it will be a snowball effect. We are willing the whole of

Team GB on, let's have a great Olympics. No wonder she is pleased,

Helen Glover had never even been in a rowing boat four years ago. Her

story is incredible, training to be epi teacher, she was spotted by

talent scouts. The rest, as they say is history. A few years ago she

was and even going to be in the Olympics, and now she has done this.

It is incredible. I don't think it will sink in until tomorrow when we

get home. It was different for her rowing partner, gold seemed

inevitable. At school, Heather Stanning's classmates predicted

this. Therefore site was better than their spelling. She is now a

captain in the army. A regiment clearly enjoying the success in

Good luck to Heather Stanning and her partner from the Royal

Artillery. Thank you, so much, I am so proud to be associated with and

I will see you when you get home. One of them is from the far north

of Scotland, the other from Penzance. It seems appropriate that

Heather and Helen came together to make Olympic history and denied

great Britain in the process. The success did not stop there, the

men's eight were involved in a thrilling final as well. Greg

Searle came out of retirement for one last shot at Olympic glory, two

days after he won gold in Barcelona. His crew went from the offer no

hope of surprising Germany, but the mighty German crew were too strong

-- went from the off, in the hope of surprising Germany. Canada next

to the silver as the British crew faded, but still managed to secure

the bronze. Steve Redgrave was saying that they could have had the

silver, but decided to go for the gold, and ended up with the bronze.

It shows you what gold remains. has been fantastic, the three years

have been brilliant. Yeah, I mean there are some good people here, it

is an amazing event, the Olympic Games. I don't think we could have

given it any more. We said we wanted to be able to look at

ourselves in the mirror and say we have given everything, and I think

we did. At the moment you feel like you have failed, we went for the

gold. When it doesn't come off, you can't help but feel like you have

lost. It was different four years ago, we didn't put ourselves in a

place to win it. Today we did everything to go for gold. We

didn't make it. The same race again, I would risk everything for gold.

We have lost the silver for it, but I don't care. We went for gold and

we can be proud of that. admirable attitude. It is hard to

know where to start, the first rowing medal, the fact they have

been together for such a short space of time. The fact that one

came through the Sir Steve Redgrave rowing, looking for sporting talent

of the future. It is a fairy-tale story? It is. I was thinking, to be

that nice and that normal and that talented, it is a lovely tribute to

them. I think there is a lot in common with the way that Wiggins

won his gold, it was an assertive performance. They set out to race

on their terms. They went straight to the front and stayed there. It

is simple, if you are talented enough to do it. The experts said

that was the way to Row this race. The plant worked magnificently.

This on Twitter says, Adlington and Armitstead, Glover and Stanning,

the football team and others, this has been a wonderful Games for

British women. Absolutely, and not before time. We haven't invested

heavily enough in women's sport in general in this country but to the

extent that we have, we are getting some reward. It is a wonderful

Games for women generally. It is shameful, it is the first time that

every country has sent a woman representative in the athletics

team. It is marvellous and is two goals have led the way. -- girls.

Last night not many people could have recognised them. Tonight their

lives have changed. As we saw in the BBC studio. We showed you last

night how four of the women's pairs in the badminton appeared to be

deliberately losing points to get a better knockout draw. After a night

of meetings, all eight of them were disqualified. They were judged to

be attempting to manipulate the quarter-final draw.

International Federation took the right action in disqualifying the

athletes. It definitely was the way to go. Could you go further, expel

them, take their accreditations? are in contact with the National

Olympic Committee to see what action they will take a long we

will decide accordingly. Some LIBOR have been very angry, particularly

spectators thinking they were robbed of the Olympic spectacle.

There is another side to it. What is the difference between this and

a football team playing for a draw, where there is the chance to win a

medal and will do everything you can? That is a pragmatic argument,

not one I'd go along with. I have spent a lot of time working sports

federations and the way that sport is organised generally. I think the

Badminton Federation deserves every piece of phrase -- praise they have.

It was quick and decisive. There were not small-fry, they were major

badminton players. People are playing astronomical sums to be

here. To turn up and they don't try, it is shocking. It certainly won't

happen again, they will probably not have a group stage in the

Badminton again. Andy Murray may have had -- missed out on the

have had -- missed out on the Wimbledon title but he has made the

quarter-finals of the Olympics tears. Two more wins are needed to

secure our a medal. Look how he celebrated, he really enjoyed that.

Roger Federer is also through. Wimbledon's ladies' champion also

marches on, Serena Williams beat Zvonareva ruthlessly in straight

sets, she demolished her. Her sister is out, she lost to Kerber

of Germany. Time to whip out our 2012 medal more, these are the

tales that might not make the headlines but are certainly worthy.

The man with his finger in as many Is nothing exemplifies the chaos

more than kayaking. This was the most rapid man through the rapids.

He said his gold medal was due to controlling his stress through the

race, and apparently releasing it afterwards. Judo is another sport

that depends upon control. The French fighter had to deal with the

pressure of being the favourite. She took 10 seconds to get on top

of things. A match winning throw. In the final, it was more of a

scrap. It is all about keeping discipline. She didn't have to take

gold in the 70 kg division, it is the only time she has been

overwhelmed all Games. It took until a golden score, a kind of

sudden death, for the South Korean to win the men's 90 kg division. He

took his chance emphatically. This was Uchimura playing it safe. The

gymnast was not at his thrilling best but was good enough to take

gold in the individual all-around event. Two Falls cost him gold in

Beijing, which perhaps explains his caution this time around. It would

not be an Olympic day without Chinese gold or two, they fight --

keep finding more brilliant ways to win the diving. This was one of the

best synchronise dies that the Aquatics Centre has seen. -- best

synchronised dives. China are on the way to a clean sweep of the

medals. It has been that way for some time in table tennis, China

have won every gold since it was introduced in 1988. The women's

final was between two Chinese competitors, but it wasn't friendly.

The favourite was penalised for her serve, and for taking a towel

outside a break. It cost her more than a few tears. The points

deduction proved important, the world number three went on to win

the match and move out of her compatriot's shadow. China fared

less well in the 25-metre air pistol final. It all went to the

last shot. The South Korean teenager was too good for the

previous Olympic champion. By this lifter lifted 146 kgs as well as a

third weightlifting gold medal for her country, powering her way to

victory. There was also a world record, this Chinese lifter lifting

175 kgs and making a lot of friends on route to gold in the 77 kg

snatch. Venezuela had only won 11 medals before this Games, none had

come in fencing. This fencer was pleased he was guaranteeing well

with his semi-final -- guaranteeing one with his semi-final victory.

You can imagine how excited he would be if it is gold. This, the

first time his country had brought that colour of medal home since

1968. South Korea are rather more blessed in that department, but the

gold medal still means everything. This reaction to winning the

women's sabre illustrates that. No medals in the boxing yet, but some

pretty dominant performances, not least from the super heavyweight

world champion. When his opponent lost his head guard, he also lost

the fight. Sport is supposedly an international language. Sometimes

you need a little help. Take spay Pryce protest against an Australian

gold in the hockey -- Spain's protest. The referee could not

understand their request. It was then decided that Spain had taken

too long to ask for a video review, which they were not pleased about.

Who says video technology solve everything? And when you have

picked up your rowing medal as a resort -- rowing medal as a reward,

what do you do next? Throw each other back in the river. An insight

into the strange chaotic mindset of Patrick, you are not a fan of the

medal table, you would rather we didn't show it? By all means, show

it. I think it is used by many federations to get extra funding. I

don't mean -- don't really like the way the Team GB thing has been

promoted. It is not really a team, the weightlifter has nothing in

common with the rhythmic gymnast. They are individuals wearing the

same jersey, going for a gold medal in their own various events. To

coalesce that, it rings a bit of the old East Germany. We define

ourselves by the number of gold, silver and bronze but we get.

understand why you are coming from but we are enjoying winning a few

gold medals. It is marvellous, but to codify it into a table, I am not

so keen. Here is what we have called the first chunk. Amy on

other enjoyed the best win of her career she sensationally beat the

world number one of India in the archery. -- Jamie Oliver enjoyed.

She described it as the pinnacle of her career -- Amy Oliver. But she

lost in the next round. Allan Wells took on Taylor Worth, it was the

man from down under whose silky 6-5 victory in a one arrow shoot-out.

Allan Wells could only manage a 9th and was out. -- secured a 6-5

The 15-year-old Moldova and beat Terry, 7-1. There is more

confirmation, we saw the middle exploits of Team GB's rowers and

there was more to celebrate at Eton Dorney. The crew finished third in

the semi-final and became the first ever British quadruple sculls boat

to make it through to an Olympic final. Alan Campbell qualified for

the final of the single sculls, while George Nash and will sacks

judo leadership following his second round defeat. The two-boat

chairman has accused some of the fighters of missing a once-in-a-

lifetime opportunity after a disappointing tournament so far.

Gordon responded by saying, my grandmother told me there was a

saying, when a fish rots, it rots from the head. There was a familiar

tale for the women's basketball team, they pushed Russia all the

way but ultimately came up short, they lost 61-67 and remained

without a win in the competition. We continue with beach volleyball.

John Garcia Thomson and his partner are out. The loss means they will

finish bottom. And the British duo Kristian Thomas and Daniel Purvis

secured Britain's best ever result in the individual all-around

gymnastics today. Tom ish -- Thomas finished 7th and Purvis was 12,

bettering the finishers in Part two of the round-up will be

later, but let's bring you up-to- date with the Football. After the

Aaron Ramsey. Uruguay it appealed for a penalty. The referee said it

hit 10 on the chest. Uruguay have a player down. The Japanese referee

made a call early on thinking it by Scott Sinclair. Uruguay are

saying they think Daniel Sturridge was offside. Ryan Bertrand stayed

away from them and let him have a go. Great Britain take a big step

anyway. But how did he miss from a yard out, Daniel Sturridge. I think

he took his eye off it. Great play by Team GB. Luis Suarez, this is

worrying. Great save by the goalkeeper. That it was a big

moment for Lewis Faro has and Uruguay. Well done Jack Butland.

You would have backed Lewis defensively. Great save by Jack

Considering what a special summer the Spanish have had before the

Olympics, it has been abject failure the past couple of weeks.

They could only manage a goalless draw with Morocco which but the

North Africans out as well, leaving North Africans out as well, leaving

Japan and Honduras as the quarter- finals. This is how they line up

the Saturday. If you have tickets for Old Trafford you will be

watching Japan and Egypt. Britain watching Japan and Egypt. Britain

face South Korea and again it is in Cardiff. More questions for you

Patrick. I was worried the football would have too much attention, but

it feels like just another sport, which is perfect. I completely

agreed. I have always loved the game. But it is good to see it put

in its place. We are obsessed about football. It is just another sport,

and not one of the more important ones. In terms of the Football

itself, Great Britain were beaten by Brazil. Those senior players

likes of Ryan Giggs and Craig Bellamy said, wait for it, we will

get going and the nation will be behind us. And it seems to be

happening particularly with the women? Definitely with the women.

They have done extremely well to qualify, obviously. The thought of

the whole nation getting behind them is probably a little

overstated. Time to get up with the rest of the British challenge. We

will jump to white water and practice is not making perfect for

the home boys at Lee Valley. Richard Hounslow did not do very

well. The woes continue for the fencing team. The Sophy Williams

and Louise Bond-Williams were eliminated from the women's sabre.

In contrast, the weightlifters have been pulling up trees. The jack

Oliver recorded another personal best lifting 170 kg in the clean

and jerk, despite sleeping through his alarm. But he did not get him

into the final. At Natasha Perdue failed to make her final. She

battled bravely through a leg spasm. Although she made a second attempt,

she almost collapsed again. She prepared herself again and managed

to lift 113 kg before her team pulled her out of the competition.

It was a rest day for Ben Ainslie, but Nick Dempsey provided a

highlight winning a photo-finish in windsurfing. He admitted he would

normally never attempt and manoeuvre like that on the line,

but he did say it was the Olympic games and you do not give an inch.

He remains in third place over all. The British men's hockey team drew

2-2 with South Africa but it will be kicking themselves they did not

win. Ashley Jackson is on a hat- trick, but his attempt from a

penalty corner in the last minute it was saved.

The women's handball team produced their best performance so far, but

it was still beaten by Brazil in the copper box at the Olympic Park.

The sport is only six years old in this country, so losing to the Pan-

American champions, who are unbeaten in London so far, is not

too bad. A match that started full of promise ended in defeat for

women's volleyball. Team GB pushed Italy all the way in the first set.

After that the hosts fell away a losing the next two sets. They

still have a good chance of making the quarter-final. Luke Campbell,

best boxing goal -- gold prospect admitted he had an attack of nerves.

He did enough to win 11-9, and said the expectations of the 10,000

crowd, plus words from Lennox Lewis got to him.

More British boxing success late tonight. Anthony Joshua has it won

his super-heavyweight about against Erislandy Savon. He outpointed his

opponent by the narrowest of margins.

There were emotional scenes in the aquatic centre as Chris Mears made

his Olympic debut, three years after being given a 5% chance of

survival after rupturing his spleen in Australia in 2009. Today, he and

his partner, Nick Robinson-Baker produced the performance of their

careers to produce a 5th place. One of the great a Olympic tails.

Let's talk about the papers, Patrick. I can imagine what the

headlines will be tomorrow. Let's take a look what are they will look

like. The Daily Mail. Simply the best. Wiggins rides his way into

history. I am not sure that is how you spell

gold, but you can see what the Sun newspaper have gone for.

The Daily times have gone for mod rule and it is a souvenir issue as

well. Bradley Wiggins said he will get a bit drunk tonight.

The Daily Mirror, gold rush. Wiggins and the rowers, hell --

Helen and the heather League GB. They express his gold pedal.

History goals at the double as well. The final paper, the Guardian, Arif

for the role was as well as they take Britain's first gold medal.

And in the swimming, a silver medal and two bronze medals as well. Not

only the papers, but just speaking and watching the general public to

have come here and watching on television, there is the relief and

the feeling perhaps the Olympics have come alive today with those

gold medals? I think so. There is always a day like this in an

Olympics when suddenly, especially the host nation catches on. Those

two gold medals have worked wonders. Not because any great failure have

been played out beforehand, but we needed that. I always thought this

country would get the gains and understand it. -- the Games. You

saw the way the papers are covering it, it is enormous. It is like

nothing else on earth. Lots of people are impressed with the

pedigree. They want to know how, so far does this compare to the nine

other Olympic games you have covered? It is easily said. From

the moment we got the games, I knew it would be wonderful, but I did

not know we could do it as good as this. The track has an even started

yet. It will be sensational. terms of gold medals, big Dave says,

how many British gold medals are you predicting? Do you think we

will match Beijing in the 19 gold medals department? If we do, we

will be doing very good indeed. If we fall short of that, so what. It

should be up there with it. So far, Mark Cavendish, you would have

expected, maybe in personally and we did. And Tom Daley, maybe he

might have got one. I think we are slightly behind at the moment. The

cycling starts tomorrow in the Vela drone. More expected in the rowing

and we have mentioned athletics. There will be one that we don't

even see coming. A Sarah Smith said, if you were to mark the British

over all effort out of 10 so far, what would you give them? I would

be boring and say seven. They haven't had the chance to do it. We

have hardly started. It is getting better. Watching those two ladies

in the boat, that set a tone. I think people will respond.
