:00:25. > :00:29.What a night, what a day, if you can't get enough the of the

:00:29. > :00:36.Olympics, this would be right up your street. Some have gone crazy

:00:36. > :00:41.and called it Super Saturday. You make your own mind up. An

:00:41. > :00:47.unforgettable night in the Olympic Stadium, three incredible

:00:47. > :00:53.performances and three gold medals. Two gold medals at sitting the

:00:53. > :01:03.morning up perfectly at Eton Daunay. You can see why the Greg British

:01:03. > :01:08.

:01:08. > :01:13.Your input is crucial. Our guest tonight is it from the Daily Mirror,

:01:13. > :01:20.he sprinted into the studio. Where do we start? What about at this

:01:20. > :01:25.stadium. Britain last one a medal in track and field here, 100 and

:01:25. > :01:35.poured years ago. D was probably more pressure on Jessica Ennis and

:01:35. > :01:36.

:01:36. > :01:46.If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance

:01:46. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:53.for their doubting, too. If you can make... Brisket on one turn, and

:01:53. > :02:02.lose and start again, never breathe a word about your loss, if you can

:02:02. > :02:11.fill the unforgiving minute with a 60 seconds worth, yours is the

:02:11. > :02:21.Earth and everything that is in it. And which is more, you will be a

:02:21. > :02:23.

:02:23. > :02:26.What they wanted was no IFS, no buts. Ennis was doing everything

:02:26. > :02:36.she could to make sure that happened. A fabulous morning

:02:36. > :02:46.session, but even her Achilles heel, the javelin, went well. She left --

:02:46. > :02:50.

:02:50. > :02:57.led the rest of the field with just Deprived of Sheffield, the pride of

:02:57. > :03:06.Great Britain. Jessica Ennis is the Olympic champion. It is a perfect

:03:06. > :03:15.day for Jessica Ennis. The best all-round athlete in the world. And

:03:15. > :03:21.All this hard work, the disappointment of Beijing about

:03:21. > :03:26.everyone has just supported me so much... Follow that, and how he did.

:03:27. > :03:36.The rest Of the Field seemed to fear him, trying to obstruct him.

:03:37. > :03:52.

:03:52. > :04:00.again! It is going to be a glorious, glorious when! It is gold! Oh, yes!

:04:00. > :04:05.The crowd but so much behind me, it was getting louder and louder. I

:04:05. > :04:09.have never experienced something like this, he doesn't come around

:04:09. > :04:17.often, to have it on your doorstep, have people supporting you, it is

:04:17. > :04:27.never going to get better than this. The greatest hour, and night, in

:04:27. > :04:35.

:04:35. > :04:39.Oliver, we were privileged to be there tonight. You look at Jessica

:04:39. > :04:44.Ennis, she didn't look worried, she almost enjoyed some of the events

:04:44. > :04:49.and she produced her best when she needed to. Mo Farah cap of what was

:04:49. > :04:54.almost a ludicrous night for British sport. Came you summarise

:04:54. > :05:02.it? The best way to summarise it is the best day of sport I have ever

:05:02. > :05:10.seen. Not just British Board, sport in general. It was taking place in

:05:10. > :05:14.London. It was just an amazing, amazing day of sport. As a

:05:14. > :05:19.postscript, I saw LeBron James take charge of a basketball game, and

:05:19. > :05:23.that was marginal after all the stuff we saw in the stadium. I was

:05:23. > :05:28.in the Velodrome to see the women's pursuit team absolutely smashed the

:05:28. > :05:35.world record, almost catch the American team. That was astonishing

:05:35. > :05:40.in itself a. By then that was before we even got into the stadium.

:05:40. > :05:46.The way that Jessica Ennis finished was just the epitome of style. To

:05:46. > :05:52.win that race, to motor down the home straight, and Mo Farah I found

:05:52. > :05:55.almost unbelievable. I know it wasn't a world record, but just

:05:55. > :06:00.unbelievable, the way he finished it off, I thought he was going to

:06:00. > :06:07.get caught, he never did. British public have been amazed, we

:06:07. > :06:12.have had hundreds of tweet. Michelle saying, Jessica or miss

:06:12. > :06:16.out on Beijing, I have never seen a final like that in a 10,000 metres

:06:16. > :06:22.race. It seemed that the plan was to inspire a generation, and it

:06:22. > :06:27.looks like the Olympics have done that tonight. Gabby said to me

:06:27. > :06:32.tonight, it is a year to the day that the London riots started, and

:06:32. > :06:37.we feared for the city then, we feared the effect they would have.

:06:37. > :06:41.It feels as though a lot of things have come full circle, there has

:06:41. > :06:45.been a feeling in these games, I don't know how long it will last,

:06:45. > :06:49.but of a healing process and everybody coming together. This is

:06:49. > :06:54.the kind of night that does bring people together and inspire people.

:06:54. > :06:58.We are not even mentioning Greg Rutherford yet, he went into the

:06:58. > :07:08.long jump final, hoping to but years of injury behind him and

:07:08. > :07:35.

:07:35. > :07:41.joined Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis in this stadium at the moment? Of

:07:41. > :07:48.this would be the greatest night in British athletics history. Will

:07:48. > :07:52.Claye is the only athlete who can deny him gold. That is a foul, and

:07:53. > :07:56.Greg Rutherford is the Olympic champion. Not many people would

:07:56. > :08:01.have put it down as a Libby champion at the start of this year,

:08:01. > :08:11.perhaps not even at the start of this competition -- as a Olympic

:08:11. > :08:12.

:08:12. > :08:18.It is the most amazing feeling in the world. Four years ago I had a

:08:18. > :08:22.horrible time, I couldn't cope very well in the final, I knew I was in

:08:22. > :08:28.great shape, I have got probably one of the best teams in the world,

:08:28. > :08:32.my coach is incredible, my therapist is incredible, I get

:08:33. > :08:36.support from the Rotary Club in a bed that I have the most amazing

:08:36. > :08:42.parents you could ever have. A beautiful girlfriend, just

:08:42. > :08:49.everything! Life generally is pretty beautiful right now? I am

:08:49. > :08:53.not going to lie! I can't tell you how much everybody has worked for

:08:53. > :09:03.me, this has been a long process, and to be honest, I thought I was

:09:03. > :09:05.

:09:05. > :09:09.going to jump further, but I don't A couple more tweet. Jamie, I don't

:09:09. > :09:17.think I have ever shouted so much as I did in the one how. Mark says,

:09:17. > :09:21.his peers, sausage at sandwich, cup of tea, then more tears. Greg

:09:21. > :09:26.Rutherford, that was probably the biggest surprise of the night. He

:09:26. > :09:30.put in a great job, but we thought others would do better. Absolutely,

:09:30. > :09:38.we all came into the stadium of for Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah, they

:09:38. > :09:43.were the headliners. I went to see Michael Phelps, another postscript,

:09:43. > :09:50.he one gold, I got into the stadium, and my colleague was saying, the

:09:50. > :09:56.story is going on either there, where the long jump was. It is just

:09:56. > :10:02.one of those enchanted night. Rutherford was amazing. The

:10:02. > :10:06.marching out of his victory as well. -- the margin of his victory.

:10:06. > :10:11.Tomorrow night 89 will line up in the stadium behind us in one of the

:10:11. > :10:15.most eagerly anticipated finals in the history of the Olympics. Will

:10:15. > :10:25.we see the best of Usain Bolt? Today at the world's fastest man

:10:25. > :10:28.

:10:28. > :10:38.had to start in the heat like stadium of the fastest man in

:10:38. > :11:01.

:11:01. > :11:08.It was a bad start, I stumbled. I am glad it happened now. Usage you

:11:08. > :11:15.are 95% fit. Is that good enough to take gold? We will see. All the big

:11:15. > :11:20.guns made it through. Yohan Blake, three British sprinters, a 9.88

:11:20. > :11:30.from Ryan Bailey, Justin Gatlin looked good as well. The final will

:11:30. > :11:35.be epic. It could raise the roof. It could. I thought Bolt looked, by

:11:35. > :11:39.his own unbelievable standards, slightly vulnerable. We know he has

:11:39. > :11:44.had injury but the performances of some of the other guys that you

:11:44. > :11:50.just mentioned there, who also looked like they were easing off a

:11:50. > :11:57.bit towards the end, it will be one hell of a race, and in Beijing it

:11:57. > :12:02.was a procession for Bolt. I don't think it will be this time. People

:12:02. > :12:07.are saying it is a fast track. Hopefully this will explain it. I

:12:07. > :12:12.have a chunk of Beijing track and a chunk of London track. On the back

:12:12. > :12:18.of the Beijing one, there are squares. On the back of the London

:12:18. > :12:21.one, diamonds. The squares and will only move in one way but the

:12:21. > :12:27.diamonds move in all directions, so therefore you can use the energy

:12:27. > :12:33.more efficiently from your foot and go a little bit faster. There will

:12:33. > :12:39.be more of that on BBC Breakfast tomorrow. Maybe that is why we can

:12:39. > :12:44.see faster times. So much thought has gone into the design of a lot

:12:45. > :12:54.of the venues, in the velodrome as well. The heat in there, a special

:12:54. > :12:59.temperature has been requested. degrees. It is hot. -- 28 degrees.

:12:59. > :13:06.Credit to the organisers, they deserve credit. Let's tidy up some

:13:06. > :13:14.of the other news. Thirst to the final of the women's 100m, which

:13:14. > :13:20.was one by Shelley-Ann Fraser. The Jamaican successfully defended her

:13:20. > :13:30.title. Carmelita Jeter it took silver, with Campbell-Brown taking

:13:30. > :13:32.

:13:32. > :13:37.bronze. Adia you better 10 failed to qualify it for the final --

:13:37. > :13:41.Odepitan. She still has another race to come they have. There was a

:13:41. > :13:46.shocker for Dai Greene in the semi- final this evening, eventually

:13:46. > :13:51.trailing in fourth place. Luckily for him, he scraped in to the final

:13:51. > :13:56.as one of the fastest losers. Significant improvement needed for

:13:56. > :14:01.him on Monday night. Christine Ohuruogu looks to be returning to

:14:01. > :14:06.her best at the right time. She set a new season's best and finished

:14:06. > :14:14.her semi-final very strongly, coming in second behind Sanya

:14:14. > :14:22.She remains on course to retain her title, which would be an incredible

:14:22. > :14:26.feat. Oscar Pistorius made history today. The South African became the

:14:26. > :14:33.first double amputee to compete in the Olympics. I watched him race

:14:33. > :14:38.this morning. He received a huge roar and responded to it, and he

:14:38. > :14:42.qualified for the semi-finals of the 400m. He described the

:14:42. > :14:49.experience as mind-blowing. There is a debate about Oscar Pistorius.

:14:49. > :14:55.Some say he devalues the Olympics but others, we have had lots of

:14:55. > :15:01.tweets about this. An amputee, Adam, said watching him is the most

:15:01. > :15:10.inspirational thing he has seen in the Olympics. Did you mean that it

:15:10. > :15:16.I have heard that argument. I spoke to Oscar in Italy at his training

:15:16. > :15:21.camp. His answer, of which I agree with 100%, is that he does not want

:15:21. > :15:26.to be in a corner. Why should people put Paralympians into a box

:15:26. > :15:31.and say, that is your box, stay there. It is incredibly patronising

:15:31. > :15:37.to say you cannot do that and I think most of his Paralympian

:15:37. > :15:41.colleagues feel, good luck to him. He makes the point that a lot of

:15:41. > :15:46.Paralympians run in able-bodied meets in their countries. He is

:15:46. > :15:54.just trying to be the best he can be. He just thinks of himself as a

:15:54. > :15:58.400m runner. There are 40 interviews in the outside media

:15:58. > :16:02.zone and Oscar stopped for all of them and smiled throughout. We are

:16:02. > :16:07.nearly halfway through the show and we have not even mentioned the

:16:07. > :16:13.rowing. Eton Dorney has produced some incredible scenes and what a

:16:14. > :16:19.regatta it has been for Team GB. Four gold medals, two silver medals

:16:20. > :16:25.and three macro bronze medals. Elation, success, joy and heartache.

:16:25. > :16:34.The men's fall rode Shia their boats with their ghosts of great

:16:34. > :16:39.British Olympian pasts -- the men's four share their boats. In Athens,

:16:39. > :16:45.Matthew Pinsent and James Cracknell gave their all once again. Then a

:16:45. > :16:55.new era began with a gold medal in Beijing. History was on board the G

:16:55. > :17:00.

:17:00. > :17:10.champions! We have done it! We have done it in style! Great Britain,

:17:10. > :17:16.It is beyond words. It is epic, magic, emotional. The crowd is

:17:16. > :17:20.phenomenal. I am so proud. history and expectation bearing

:17:20. > :17:25.over Sophie Hosking and Katherine Copeland. Few thought them capable

:17:25. > :17:30.of gold in the lightweight double sculls. They have only been a pair

:17:30. > :17:37.for a few months but they won with ease. They are the Olympic

:17:37. > :17:47.champions! Things have moved so fast, it took a while for it all to

:17:47. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:55.catch up. I don't know...! We just won the Olympics! You will be on a

:17:55. > :17:59.stand tomorrow! That is what I said! Overwhelming. A word used

:17:59. > :18:04.frequently about events at Eton Dorney. The flag had been raised

:18:04. > :18:13.four times at the regatta, more than at any Olympics in a century,

:18:13. > :18:18.and there was a chance for another. Zac Purchase and Mark ready to

:18:18. > :18:23.defend their title. Competition rules allowed for emergency delay

:18:23. > :18:32.while win this seat came loose and a restart. Team GB led for three-

:18:32. > :18:38.quarters of the race. The gold was Denmark just sneaking ahead of

:18:38. > :18:43.Great Britain on the line! Denmark's for the Olympic gold,

:18:43. > :18:49.Great Britain for the silver! Without good tonic of victory, this

:18:49. > :18:56.sport can be unbearable. Few can know the demands of Olympic rowing.

:18:56. > :19:03.Mark Hunter can lean on one who We gave it everything, we tried

:19:03. > :19:08.everything, we wanted to win so badly. We are just... So rich to

:19:08. > :19:14.everybody we have let down. have let nobody down. -- sorry to

:19:14. > :19:20.everybody. The silver medal will hang heavy but a reminder that not

:19:20. > :19:26.all Olympic heroes are created by victory.

:19:26. > :19:30.What a day at Eton Dorney. Michael Sayers on Twitter, if we could

:19:30. > :19:35.emulate as a country what the rowing authority and cycling

:19:35. > :19:41.authority has done in terms of nurturing talent, surely we would

:19:41. > :19:46.have similar success in other sport. They have been astonishingly

:19:46. > :19:53.successful. Look at the cycling particularly, what Dave Brailsford

:19:53. > :19:58.has achieved. The rowing is a similar success story. It has been

:19:58. > :20:04.a production line as well. It has not just been a one-off. I mean,

:20:04. > :20:09.that tweet you have got there, there are important issues involved.

:20:09. > :20:16.I don't know the answer to this but, are there class issues involved? A

:20:16. > :20:21.lot of money was behind this. A lot of public schoolboys... But a lot

:20:21. > :20:25.of them are from outside public schools. Helen Glover came from a

:20:25. > :20:31.programme that she saw in an advert in a newspaper that Steve Redgrave

:20:32. > :20:36.had put him. We are so short of time, Oliver, but we have seen the

:20:36. > :20:41.success and the celebrations and for so many rowers that have won

:20:41. > :20:45.gold, we saw the heartbreak for Mark Hunter and Zac Purchase, and

:20:45. > :20:49.even the silver medal wasn't good enough. That is what sport is all

:20:50. > :20:55.about. In many ways, I thought that was the most moving story of the

:20:55. > :21:00.day. They let nobody down. Those kinds of stories epitomise the

:21:00. > :21:04.Olympic spirit. I know it is a cliche but they do. To me,

:21:04. > :21:08.different people have different views of winning and losing. I do

:21:08. > :21:14.not think they lost today. They gave their all, they did everything

:21:14. > :21:21.they could and that is all anybody can ask. Talking about inspiring a

:21:22. > :21:27.generation, they inspired me Still more British interest to come,

:21:27. > :21:37.you would be forgiven for thinking you are missing out on some

:21:37. > :21:37.

:21:37. > :21:43.These Olympics have been pretty hot so far, but they hate is called

:21:43. > :21:53.Super Saturday. If you don't know why, you will after this. What a

:21:53. > :22:03.start after the women triathletes. After the 10 km run, could you do

:22:03. > :22:14.

:22:14. > :22:19.A identical time, Nicola Spirig taking the tape first - just.

:22:19. > :22:22.Things aren't always that dramatic but they can be pant. They were at

:22:22. > :22:28.the table tennis table for the small matter of South Korea versus

:22:28. > :22:35.North Korea. Politically charged, just a little! South Korea defeated

:22:35. > :22:40.North Korea to reach the final to stop no such luck for their fences,

:22:40. > :22:47.though, China beating them. But then China are a machine that keeps

:22:47. > :22:53.on producing the bullion. They want two badminton golds, the second of

:22:53. > :22:57.which was in the women's doubles, the event might in controversy

:22:57. > :23:07.after the disqualification of four au pairs earlier in the week, ended

:23:07. > :23:08.

:23:08. > :23:13.Pretty impressive, but so was Jessica Rossi's achievement, a 20-

:23:13. > :23:17.year-old Italian police woman whose family lived in a tent near Bologna

:23:17. > :23:23.after damage caused by an earthquake, smashed the world

:23:23. > :23:28.record in trap shooting her she hit 99 out of 100 clay targets. But if

:23:28. > :23:37.there was a medal for lunges at -- that are bitty, captain Canada

:23:37. > :23:42.would get cold! He is 65 years of age, he has been an Olympic

:23:42. > :23:52.competitor for 40 years. He has now appeared in more Olympics than any

:23:52. > :23:59.

:23:59. > :24:04.This man lifted nearly 66 stone. In the men's and 94 kilogram

:24:04. > :24:09.weightlifting, he broke the clean and jerk world record, lifting 233

:24:09. > :24:14.kilograms. That was special but not as special as what happened in the

:24:14. > :24:19.Olympic Stadium today. Not Great Britain's success, but a super

:24:19. > :24:27.Saturday performance from the man from the Marshall Islands, in the

:24:27. > :24:33.second heat of the 100 metres, he came home last in 12.81 seconds.

:24:33. > :24:42.Here he comes. Three seconds behind the quickest qualifier. He had

:24:42. > :24:48.competed in his first track event We shall continue the round-up in

:24:48. > :24:54.tennis. If you managed to win all four Grand Slams has an Olympic

:24:54. > :24:58.gold, they call it and it Coria Slam, and she thrashed Maria

:24:58. > :25:04.Sharapova today. It was a ludicrously one-sided match which

:25:04. > :25:09.she one 6-1, 6-1. She has been the stand-out player, and she destroyed

:25:09. > :25:19.Sharapova. The last person to achieve the Golden Slam was Steffi

:25:19. > :25:19.

:25:19. > :25:24.Graf. She was in the stadium, watching today. I don't know, it is

:25:24. > :25:30.so much... I never expected gold, I was so happy with my gold in the

:25:30. > :25:37.doubles, a thought I have everything now, singles, doubles,

:25:37. > :25:44.everything, I have it. Where do we go from here? You have won

:25:44. > :25:49.everything. Now I can go to Disney World!

:25:49. > :25:54.Andy Murray is enjoying his Olympics. He and Laura Robinson --

:25:54. > :26:00.lips and reached the semi-finals, it was a pretty dramatic victory,

:26:00. > :26:05.they one the match at 10-8 in the tie-break. They then had to play

:26:05. > :26:09.the German duo, Christopher Kas and Sabine Lisicki. It went to a tie-

:26:09. > :26:13.break, and once again, the British pair came through. The gold medal

:26:13. > :26:19.match is on Sunday against Max Mirnyi and Victoria Azarenka of

:26:19. > :26:24.Belarus. That is just after Andy Murray plays Roger Federer in his

:26:24. > :26:29.singles final. It was the last night of the swimming. Can you

:26:29. > :26:36.believe we have had a week of competition and Michael Farah ended

:26:37. > :26:45.the week with another gold! He was part of the relay team, it means he

:26:49. > :26:54.22 overall. He is the most decorated Olympian of all time.

:26:54. > :26:57.dreamt of being the greatest. Bob and I have worked together to

:26:57. > :27:03.become that, and we have been able to do everything we ever wanted to

:27:03. > :27:10.do. I am looking back at my career, I know I'm hanging by see it up,

:27:10. > :27:15.retiring, and looking back, saying I have done everything I ever

:27:15. > :27:20.wanted. I couldn't be happier. I have said this many times, having

:27:20. > :27:28.my mum and family here is the best feeling in the world.

:27:28. > :27:34.There was a disappointing end for Team GB, Fran Halsall came 5th, and

:27:34. > :27:38.there medley relay team came last. I just want to say that the support

:27:38. > :27:42.we have had this week has been unbelievable, and the crowd have

:27:42. > :27:52.been unbelievable, and I'm a bit disappointed I haven't been

:27:52. > :28:01.

:28:01. > :28:06.unbelievable this week. That's not I think things are sent to try out,

:28:06. > :28:12.and we are British, and we come back stronger, that is what we are

:28:12. > :28:17.going to do. I think we need to finish the show

:28:18. > :28:23.with a bit of a week later! Time to go to the Velodrome, the medals

:28:23. > :28:33.keep rolling in. Those fortunate enough to have a ticket continued

:28:33. > :28:37.

:28:37. > :28:44.Great Britain win the Olympic title and the gold medal. And another

:28:44. > :28:50.world record! And so the great British domination of the Velodrome

:28:50. > :28:55.continues. The Women's pursuit team the latest one to take gold. Over

:28:55. > :28:59.12 laps up the trio of Laura Trott, Dani King and Jo Rowsell

:28:59. > :29:07.systematically destroyed their American opposition and took half a

:29:07. > :29:11.You don't know what is going to happen, you have to keep pushing

:29:11. > :29:16.till the finish. I believed in us from the start, I knew we could do

:29:16. > :29:21.it, it is just getting it done. We did the world record in the process,

:29:21. > :29:26.that is a bonus. Incredibly they have now recorded world records in

:29:26. > :29:33.each of their last six competitive races, but these are sporting stars

:29:33. > :29:43.collide down to earth. Can you believe it! I mean, look at us! I

:29:43. > :29:46.

:29:46. > :29:50.It was a slightly disappointing for Ed Clancy in the omnium. He fell

:29:50. > :29:55.behind in the points race and the elimination race, that is where the

:29:55. > :29:59.last rider to cross the line drops out every two laps, but it remains

:29:59. > :30:07.tight, and Ed Clancy his fourth overall with three more disciplines

:30:07. > :30:16.tomorrow. Overall, the news is good at the Velodrome. Four out of five

:30:16. > :30:23.medals there have been one by Team -- have been won.

:30:23. > :30:25.We have spoken about the cyclists are a lot over the last few days.

:30:25. > :30:30.Seb Coe it said tonight that traditional British reserve has

:30:30. > :30:36.crumbled as strangers exchange Olympic news. Volunteers, high-

:30:36. > :30:42.flying travellers, when normally you get an angry stare if you brush

:30:42. > :30:50.their umbrella. Is this just for two weeks or will there be lasting

:30:50. > :30:54.legacy? I don't know. I hope there will be lasting success and legacy

:30:54. > :30:59.and there has been quite a lot of talk about that this evening on

:30:59. > :31:06.social networking sites. Will we forget about this magic, as we have

:31:06. > :31:11.done in the past, when the football starts again? Every four years it

:31:11. > :31:19.will come back. Things are changing in cycling. It is as light cliche

:31:19. > :31:24.again, but our cyclists have become sport's new rock and roll -- a

:31:24. > :31:29.slight cliche. Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish, huge personalities

:31:29. > :31:37.and they are not going to go away. Pardew the Tour de France and what

:31:37. > :31:47.has happened here, cycling is big - - partly. That has had a big impact

:31:47. > :31:48.

:31:48. > :31:53.Great Britain is in third place. We had 19 gold medals in Beijing,

:31:53. > :31:59.remember. 14 at the moment. An impressive medal table to look at.

:31:59. > :32:04.One tweet I wanted to share, my favourite of the day. Thomas has

:32:04. > :32:09.said: I cuddled a very smelly man on the Tube tonight, I couldn't

:32:09. > :32:17.help myself. A eyesore that quote from Sapcote earlier and everybody

:32:17. > :32:20.has felt that feeling -- I saw that quotation from Seb Coe. It is like

:32:20. > :32:25.the national character has changed and let's hope it lasts because it

:32:25. > :32:31.rubs off on you and it makes everybody feel better. It is high

:32:31. > :32:37.time we rounded off some of the other Team GB action. Boxing.

:32:37. > :32:41.Safely through to the quarter- finals of the light welterweight.

:32:41. > :32:48.The world number one in the red saw off the Indian, who was very

:32:48. > :32:53.unhappy with the points decision. The women's hockey team were

:32:53. > :32:57.boosted by the return of Kate Walsh today, although she was forced to

:32:57. > :33:03.wear a protective mask after fracturing her jaw, but even her

:33:03. > :33:08.presence could not stop Team GB slipping to a defeat against China.

:33:08. > :33:12.They only needed a point to make sure of reaching the semi-finals.

:33:12. > :33:17.On Sunday they will face the Olympic champions, the Dutch, and

:33:17. > :33:23.they need a result. The dream is over for the handball team. They

:33:23. > :33:28.had a pretty torrid time. Despite a decent first half, they were beaten

:33:28. > :33:33.by the African champions, Tunisia. They are playing the reigning

:33:33. > :33:36.silver medallists, Iceland, on Monday in their remaining Games.

:33:36. > :33:41.The same story for the volleyball team, who lost their fourth

:33:41. > :33:47.successive game today. Not a disgrace, because they were beaten

:33:47. > :33:53.by the favourites, Poland. A tough match for Team GB but they still

:33:53. > :33:58.ended up losing in straight sets. The final game is on Monday against

:33:58. > :34:03.Argentina. Four defeats out of four so the men's British water polo

:34:03. > :34:09.team. The latest defeat at the hands of Hungary. Team GB cannot

:34:09. > :34:13.now advanced to the knockout stage, you will not be surprised to hear.

:34:13. > :34:19.It was a mixed day for the British divers in the women's three-metre

:34:19. > :34:24.springboard. Both failed to qualify for the final. The 17-year-old

:34:24. > :34:28.Hannah Starling narrowly missed out on a top 12 place. Rebecca

:34:28. > :34:34.Gallantree had a day to forget. She was well adrift and eventually

:34:34. > :34:39.finished in last place. Huge disappointment yesterday for the

:34:39. > :34:43.women's football team last night as Great Britain lost to Canada in the

:34:43. > :34:53.quarter-finals in Coventry. Stuart Pearce's men still had the chance

:34:53. > :35:13.

:35:13. > :35:23.in the Olympics! South Korea are in the lead! Why untouched, bang. --

:35:23. > :36:03.

:36:03. > :36:13.They had been outplayed so far in this half. That has got to be a

:36:13. > :36:19.

:36:19. > :36:29.It was a very similar penalty to the first one. It wasn't

:36:29. > :36:59.

:36:59. > :37:04.this quarter-final at the Penalty heartache. South Korea go

:37:04. > :37:11.on to the semi-finals, where they play Brazil. Mexico will play Japan

:37:11. > :37:16.for a place in the final after they beat Senegal. Japan beat Egypt.

:37:16. > :37:20.It tells you everything about today. The home team going out of a

:37:20. > :37:27.football tournament on penalties is the eighth story of the day. Lots

:37:27. > :37:31.of tweets today saying, have the football has learned a bit from the

:37:31. > :37:37.way the Olympians have conducted themselves about their general

:37:37. > :37:41.conduct and dealing with pressure? I am not sure. There is the subtext

:37:41. > :37:46.that the footballers have let us down, whether cyclists have

:37:46. > :37:52.excelled. That is what people are so you. But the suggestion is that

:37:52. > :37:55.it is a question of character. I don't think it is. Why do we

:37:55. > :38:02.criticise the footballers and say that Mark Hunter and Zac Purchase

:38:02. > :38:06.are heroes for coming second? There is a subtext that somehow the

:38:06. > :38:12.footballers did not try as much and it will not hurt them as much to

:38:12. > :38:16.lose. I think it probably hurt them just as much. They are not second-

:38:17. > :38:20.class citizens in these Olympics. There are issues with the

:38:20. > :38:25.disconnect between the British public and football at the moment.

:38:25. > :38:30.Probably coming from wages and maybe some off-field behaviour. As

:38:30. > :38:34.you know as well as I do, they are not all bad and a lot of them a

:38:34. > :38:38.decent fellows who are incredibly committed and devoted to their

:38:38. > :38:41.sport in the same way that a lot of Olympians are. There is that

:38:41. > :38:48.disconnect between the superstar footballers and the general public

:38:48. > :38:54.at the moment, yes. Some of the other news from Team GB today.

:38:54. > :39:00.Britain's best bouncer, Kat Driscoll, Mr up from the

:39:00. > :39:08.trampolining finals. She needed a top eight finish -- missed out of

:39:08. > :39:12.the trampolining finals. But it was still the best finish for Britain

:39:12. > :39:18.in the history of trampolining at the Olympics. It has not been a

:39:18. > :39:23.great day for British sailors. Paul Goodison is out of medal contention.

:39:23. > :39:31.He has been struggling with a bad back. He has finished in 6th place

:39:32. > :39:37.overall. Ashley Young is also out of contention. Team GB made a solid

:39:37. > :39:42.start in the first qualifying round of the individual show jumping. Ben

:39:42. > :39:46.Maher and Nick Skelton both made it through to the next set. Scott

:39:46. > :39:51.Brash also qualified. The only downside was the elimination of

:39:51. > :39:55.former European champion, Peter Charles. How is this for pushing

:39:55. > :40:01.through the pain barrier? Peter Kirkbride tour his bicep during

:40:01. > :40:06.this failed attempt to lift during this match. You would think, gamers

:40:06. > :40:11.are. But he was not going to let that beat him -- game over. He then

:40:11. > :40:16.went on to lift 190 kilos in the clean and jerk, setting a new

:40:16. > :40:20.personal best. Heroic effort, but not quite enough for the British

:40:20. > :40:27.man to make the final. The men's basketball team are out of the

:40:27. > :40:30.Olympics. They let slip a 15 point lead to lose to Australia. They

:40:30. > :40:40.have one game left but can no longer qualify from the knockout

:40:40. > :41:08.

:41:08. > :41:13.Let's finish with a look at It is all about the same stuff, no

:41:13. > :41:18.football, all about the Olympics. Will we ever see a day of

:41:18. > :41:25.achievement like this in any sport? Or Prix will have to go some.

:41:25. > :41:31.say never, but today has been an amazing day. We have all been at

:41:31. > :41:34.fantastic events before, Champions' League finals, Ryder Cups, but for

:41:34. > :41:41.a day of British Board across the spectrum it is going to be very

:41:41. > :41:46.hard to beat today. Can you or Oliver have a word with Seb Coe,

:41:46. > :41:52.can at London have the Olympics every decade? We a him a decade --

:41:52. > :41:56.of debt. He has a vision for these Olympics come a has seen it through.

:41:56. > :42:01.And so far, it is paying off spectacularly. It has been an

:42:01. > :42:08.amazing thing to be involved with. It feels like the final might and

:42:08. > :42:12.there is still a week to go! There could be far more a tale to tell.

:42:12. > :42:17.There will be, but there is an awful lot to come. I am almost

:42:17. > :42:22.dreading the end of it, it has been so great, you are starting to feel,

:42:22. > :42:24.it is going to be such a let-down when it is over, because like Seb

:42:24. > :42:32.Coe book was saying cover everything around it seems to have

:42:32. > :42:39.changed. You need a hug from Sharron Davies! What a night it has

:42:39. > :42:45.been. Thank you for all watching. I will be back tomorrow night. How do

:42:45. > :42:55.you sum up things? Let's be thankful for our athletes, cyclists,

:42:55. > :42:55.

:42:55. > :43:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:43:37. > :43:43.all of our Olympians for giving us champions, a magnificent at that! -

:43:43. > :43:52.- effort! An incredible, incredible scull. They go into the record
