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

: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

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

: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

: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,

: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
