:00:26. > :00:31.Good evening. More gold medals on the wake. And more tears before
:00:31. > :00:37.bedtime. Coming up on Olympic Sportsday: Lightning can strike
:00:37. > :00:42.twice. From Weymouth to Wimbledon. The two
:00:42. > :00:47.winners will Team GB today, Ben Ainslie and Andy Murray.
:00:47. > :00:53.The gloves are on for the women, Olympic history made again today.
:00:53. > :01:01.Over the next 45 minutes, we will squeeze in the best of the action
:01:01. > :01:06.from the 9th day of the Games. On hand to help make sense is will
:01:06. > :01:13.from the Telegraph. From a produce perspective, the superlatives run
:01:13. > :01:18.dry it -- but his perspective. But tonight, we had the international
:01:18. > :01:28.blockbuster. If you remember one event from past Olympic Games, it
:01:28. > :01:49.
:01:49. > :01:53.Johnson when is it! Linford Christie!
:01:53. > :02:02.-- wins it! Unbelievable!
:02:02. > :02:12.Justin Gatlin is going to win it! That is superb! That is a new world
:02:12. > :02:19.
:02:19. > :02:23.The men's 100m final. We had the semi-finals this evening. Usain
:02:23. > :02:33.Bolt went alongside Dwain Chambers. Chambers was the quickest British
:02:33. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:42.sprinter but missed out on the final by 300s of a second. Justin
:02:42. > :02:52.Gatlin looked extremely quick. Only one of the eight finalists failed
:02:52. > :02:55.
:02:55. > :03:00.the last nine days has provided some of those iconic sporting
:03:00. > :03:07.moments you just never forget. But the men's 100m final transcends
:03:07. > :03:11.even sport, and so does he. Usain Bolt! His bravado and brilliance,
:03:11. > :03:16.the vital ingredients in a race predicted to be the greatest of all
:03:16. > :03:26.time. The moment of truth has finally arrived. The 100m Olympic
:03:26. > :03:41.
:03:41. > :03:48.champion becomes a legend! Why did we ever, ever, ever doubt the
:03:48. > :03:57.brilliance of Usain Bolt? I think even for him, this has more meaning
:03:57. > :04:02.Remember I told you what my coach said, stop worrying about you start.
:04:02. > :04:07.The best part of your race is at the end. So I stopped worrying
:04:07. > :04:12.about the start and I executed it and it worked. What do you say to
:04:12. > :04:16.the doubters? It all worked on the track. All they can do is talk.
:04:16. > :04:23.When it comes to the championships, it is all about business, and I
:04:23. > :04:33.brought it. He brings it more than most. He had to. No man over nine
:04:33. > :04:34.
:04:34. > :04:38.seconds got a medal. But when you are as good as Bolt, you can afford
:04:38. > :04:43.to be confident of your ability. And they were equally confident in
:04:43. > :04:52.Jamaica. At JAMAICAN COMMENTARY: Usain Bolt,
:04:53. > :04:58.the big man means Business! Dominates in London, he is the king
:04:58. > :05:02.of sprinting, undisputed! The best in the world, Usain Bolt triumphs
:05:02. > :05:07.in majestic style! The big man is back in business!
:05:07. > :05:12.No one can deny he is very much back in business, and in London, on
:05:12. > :05:17.the eve of Jamaica's 50th anniversary of independence from
:05:17. > :05:22.Britain. If these Olympics are about creating legacy, Usain Bolt
:05:22. > :05:29.has cemented his. Never in doubt. The big man turns
:05:29. > :05:34.on the bigger engine. Jamaica heard all about it. Was it ever in doubt?
:05:34. > :05:39.I think it was, and that is why he was so delighted with what he has
:05:39. > :05:43.done tonight. This is comfortably his greatest performance. It is not
:05:43. > :05:49.his quickest time. In Beijing, it was the wildest thing I have ever
:05:49. > :05:54.seen. It was a procession. And in Berlin three years ago. But this
:05:54. > :06:01.was a race. He was under genuine pressure, particularly from Yohan
:06:01. > :06:06.Blake, but in the big competitions, he performs and that is what he did.
:06:06. > :06:10.This track is lightning-fast. Should we have seen a world record?
:06:10. > :06:16.It wasn't far off. The temperature was down to 17 degrees. The
:06:16. > :06:24.temperature gauge went off in the stadium. They were cool conditions,
:06:24. > :06:28.great for distance running, but not optimal for sprinting. A world
:06:28. > :06:33.record would have been the icing on the cake but that was fantastic.
:06:33. > :06:39.man was arrested at the start. bottle was thrown, just as the
:06:39. > :06:43.runners ran up into the set position. It lands in lane five,
:06:44. > :06:48.behind Yohan Blake. The organisers are saying they have arrested
:06:48. > :06:56.someone, the met Police have. Suggestions that there was an
:06:56. > :07:02.incident in the crowd after he did it. Edith Bosch is claiming to have
:07:02. > :07:07.pushed the man who did it! No idea if that is true. Clearly, it is
:07:07. > :07:12.slightly embarrassing for LOCOG. Quite fitting Olympic justice!
:07:12. > :07:18.one person you don't want to be sitting next to it is someone who
:07:18. > :07:24.is competing in judo! Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce took the women's 100m.
:07:24. > :07:29.Jamaica it continues to produce the greatest sprinters. Fantastic. The
:07:29. > :07:36.50th anniversary of independence, this is a huge moment for them. And
:07:36. > :07:40.now they have Yohan Blake as well. Many thanks. Four years ago,
:07:40. > :07:44.Christine Ohuruogu came back from Beijing with Team GB's only gold in
:07:44. > :07:49.athletics and since then, has not come close to that form, but no one
:07:49. > :07:54.in the British team can feel more at home and her. Her family live
:07:54. > :07:59.just outside the Olympic Park in Stratford. She was worried about
:07:59. > :08:07.getting her mum and dad and seven per Scissors Sisters enough tickets,
:08:07. > :08:17.and she has a silver medal to show them tonight -- seven brothers and
:08:17. > :08:35.
:08:35. > :08:41.Richards Ross. But Christine DeeDee Trotter is trying to get
:08:41. > :08:46.into this. Christine Ohuruogu has got a chance, right on the outside!
:08:46. > :08:50.Six of them altogether here! DeeDee Trotter are coming through! Sanya
:08:50. > :08:58.Richards Ross is coming through, and Christine Ohuruogu, can she get
:08:58. > :09:08.there?! Will she make it?! Sanya Richards Ross takes the gold,
:09:08. > :09:10.
:09:10. > :09:17.Christine Ohuruogu, a Stirling, Your reaction, Christine? I was
:09:17. > :09:24.stunned. I was stunned. I don't know, I was heartbroken actually. I
:09:24. > :09:31.was heartbroken, I really was. To have, you know, to use your title
:09:31. > :09:35.like that... -- to lose your title. It was tough. Sanya Richards Ross
:09:35. > :09:40.is a worthy competitor and she ran a good race and I have to be happy
:09:40. > :09:46.with what I got, it could have been worse. It looked like it could have
:09:46. > :09:51.been Beijing all over again. I know. But I tightened up. I could feel my
:09:51. > :09:56.shoulders lifting. It is really hard to control when you are under
:09:56. > :10:03.fatigue. I thought I still had some time, but then the line came too
:10:03. > :10:08.soon and I thought, no, it has gone, it has gone. Let's look at how some
:10:08. > :10:13.of the other British athletes did in the stadium. He MLA at Dannatt,
:10:13. > :10:17.the final of the triple jump. The 39-year-old posted the second
:10:17. > :10:27.longest jump in the qualifying stages but it was only good enough
:10:27. > :10:32.
:10:32. > :10:38.of Seth -- Yemi let -- Yamile Adana. Perri Shakes Drayton breed true the
:10:38. > :10:43.first round of the 400m hurdles in really good time. She is one of the
:10:43. > :10:47.quickest in the world this year, and a local girl. She can see the
:10:47. > :10:53.Olympic stadium from the end of her street. There will be no British
:10:53. > :10:57.runner in the final of the men's 1,500m. Andy Baddeley was eighth,
:10:57. > :11:03.Ross Murray was 10th. Oscar Pistorius failed to make it through
:11:03. > :11:07.to the final of the 400m. The first double amputee to compete at the
:11:07. > :11:13.Games was never really in contention will. The British trio
:11:13. > :11:19.also went out. Alex Smith was a surprise finalist in the men's
:11:19. > :11:28.hammer. He finished last with a throw of 72.87. That was about
:11:28. > :11:31.eight metres short of the winner We didn't quite reach the height of
:11:31. > :11:37.Saturday, but are really gutsy run from Christine Ohuruogu. Fantastic
:11:37. > :11:43.to see her perform and get a silver medal. She has had a dreadful time
:11:43. > :11:49.since Beijing, it was nearly a repeat performance, the leader went
:11:49. > :11:56.out far too fast, and she overhauled the guys at the front.
:11:56. > :12:03.In Kenmore metres, she would have won. -- in Pennymoor metres. She
:12:03. > :12:08.had a real shot at goal. I have just had a question for you, "I was
:12:08. > :12:15.more impressed with what Oskar Pistorius did tonight than what
:12:15. > :12:19.Usain Bolt did, the effect will be Worlock -- long-lasting, as well".
:12:19. > :12:23.It is quite stunning to see what he has achieved to get here. To hear
:12:23. > :12:29.people suggesting, as they still are, that he somehow has an
:12:29. > :12:35.advantage, is an affront to common sense. He still has the relays to
:12:35. > :12:40.come. Many thanks, you are right up to date with what happened in the
:12:40. > :12:50.stadium tonight. Let me down to Wimbledon, where Andy Murray is
:12:50. > :12:57.
:12:57. > :13:07.champion. We would have loved to You just have to take your hat off
:13:07. > :13:25.
:13:25. > :13:32.Well, he was back on Centre Court today against the Swiss, Murray was
:13:32. > :13:36.blubbing again, but it has been almost routine. He got a silver in
:13:36. > :13:41.the mixed doubles, but in no way would that take the gloss off what
:13:41. > :13:50.he has already achieved. The way he played today, his a medal macro was
:13:50. > :13:54.only going to be one colour. He absolutely thrashed Federer today.
:13:54. > :13:57.What did this mean to Andy Murray? To revisit the scene of his most
:13:57. > :14:04.heartbreaking scene go by to take on the man who laid in solo four
:14:04. > :14:10.weeks ago. Andy Murray had excelled, it is not just the ticket that has
:14:10. > :14:19.changed. Since he lost at Wimbledon final, perhaps he had lost his
:14:19. > :14:24.inhibitions, too. The first set, 6- 2. So the first set, one in
:14:24. > :14:28.impressive style. Everyone realises, this is now or never. Grand Slams
:14:28. > :14:36.will come and go, Andy Murray will never again have the chance to win
:14:36. > :14:44.the Olympics here, on Centre Court. Centre court, Federer threw himself
:14:44. > :14:48.into it, still Murray was better. Now it was his gold medal to lose.
:14:48. > :14:56.Not a hint of a mistake in the third set. Victory in straight
:14:56. > :14:58.sets! Simple! It is a golden triumph for Andy Murray! He went
:14:58. > :15:03.directly to those who have supported him through thick and
:15:03. > :15:09.thin, he said his extra inspiration have come from watching Mo Farah on
:15:09. > :15:16.Saturday night. That was the number one for me, the biggest win of my
:15:16. > :15:20.life. This week has been incredible so far. And I have had a lot of fun,
:15:20. > :15:24.the support has been amazing. wasn't finished. Even after
:15:24. > :15:29.collecting the gold medal, there was one more job to do, the mixed
:15:29. > :15:35.doubles final. They took the first set but eventually lost to Victoria
:15:35. > :15:41.Azarenka and Max Mirnyi of Belarus. Now I Olympic champions always have
:15:41. > :15:50.fresh demands on their time. Centre Court has already enjoyed seeing
:15:50. > :15:54.his sensitive side, now he can say The critics say that tennis has no
:15:54. > :15:59.place in the Olympics because the players care so much more about the
:15:59. > :16:05.majors, the Grand Slams. Would you dare say that to Andy Murray
:16:05. > :16:12.tonight? You have to look at the attitude of the best players in the
:16:12. > :16:22.world to these events, Rafael Nadal one the Olympic gold in Beijing and
:16:22. > :16:23.
:16:23. > :16:27.was desperate to do so. -- won the Olympic gold in Beijing. The
:16:27. > :16:32.Olympic spirit is so strong, not strong enough to make a British
:16:32. > :16:39.team one on penalties, as we saw last night! Everybody from G4S has
:16:39. > :16:43.just been raving about how Andy Murray seems to have embraced the
:16:43. > :16:51.Olympic spirit, and the ideal, he was a man possessed. Absolutely,
:16:51. > :16:58.that is the point have made your part of a wider team, part of 542
:16:58. > :17:02.at leads, he has bought into it. He has one it for his country, not for
:17:02. > :17:06.Andy Murray, that can relieve some of the pressure. And he has won it
:17:06. > :17:11.the hard way, while playing in the doubles with his brother, fantastic
:17:11. > :17:16.for him to get through to the final, a silver medal for him and Laura
:17:16. > :17:26.Robson. Yes, probably too much to hope for a double, but they still
:17:26. > :17:30.
:17:30. > :17:33.have a medal. 23 gold medals to be grabbed across the games today.
:17:33. > :17:43.There was also some punching other sort never seen before at the
:17:43. > :17:47.It is all about the agony and ecstasy. Emerging from the spangly
:17:47. > :17:55.tunnel, or women, allowed to compete in boxing for the first
:17:55. > :18:01.time ever. This Russian made history with victory in the first
:18:01. > :18:09.bout. In the's five-time world champion came out of retirement for
:18:09. > :18:16.a double special occasion, her little boy's 5th birthday. She's a
:18:16. > :18:20.sisterly pummelled her Polish opponent. To the protagonists of
:18:20. > :18:25.synchronised swimming, it is a heavy schedule of painful bending
:18:25. > :18:35.and Son House smiling through a thoroughly taxing ordeal. Russia
:18:35. > :18:40.lead on day one. As with table tennis, the rest of the world
:18:40. > :18:47.should give up when it comes to badminton and let time I get on
:18:47. > :18:51.with it, or so we thought! Suddenly Malaysia or were ahead. But China's
:18:51. > :18:57.finest got his act together to make it 1-1 before winning the final
:18:57. > :19:00.game in something of a nail biter to take the gold medal. They
:19:00. > :19:05.eventually calmed him down enough to give him his medal, and the
:19:05. > :19:13.Chinese have the weight would also win the Double. This brings us
:19:13. > :19:18.nicely on to weightlifting. The showdown for the Gold between China
:19:19. > :19:26.and Russia. After victory in this match, the Russian looked like she
:19:26. > :19:34.was on the way to glory. But eventually, a world record was set.
:19:34. > :19:40.52 stone! Her coaches were delighted. Tatyana, less so. There

:20:31. > :20:36.first Iranian to win a gold in this discipline. Clearly, it meant a
:20:37. > :20:43.great deal. We finish where we started, in the boxing. Something

:21:07. > :21:11.Natasha Jonas was the first woman in an Olympic vest, in a
:21:11. > :21:19.lightweight contest against Queen Underwood of the USA. They were
:21:19. > :21:25.involved in a right royal rumble. The American in read it tried to
:21:25. > :21:32.take the fight to Jonas, but she held on. The Queen was dethroned,
:21:32. > :21:42.and Jonas now has a chance of a medal. She faces Katie Taylor of
:21:42. > :21:43.
:21:43. > :21:48.Britain are guaranteed their first boxing medal of the Games. The Luke
:21:48. > :21:53.Campbell is a short at least a bronze after a tough encounter
:21:53. > :22:00.against the Bulgarian. Luke Campbell turned a deficit around to
:22:00. > :22:07.win the contest 16-15. What a fight! A win against Japan on
:22:07. > :22:12.Friday it would give him a shot at goal.
:22:12. > :22:17.Boxing will always start a debate, but what do you think about the
:22:18. > :22:22.women being included? If the IOC is going to press for every country to
:22:22. > :22:26.be truly represented at the Games, you have to have all sports for men
:22:26. > :22:30.and women. We have come a long way from the days when it was
:22:30. > :22:37.considered bad for a woman's help to run 800m, which was not so no
:22:37. > :22:41.word go, so I will commit. We see professional boxing champions born
:22:41. > :22:46.from the Olympic Games. -- I welcome it. Do you think this
:22:46. > :22:51.should have come sooner? It has come as soon as it could have come.
:22:51. > :22:56.The debate is always slow moving. When we get to the climax of the
:22:56. > :23:01.boxing competition, it is always a brilliant moment in the game's.
:23:02. > :23:07.Let's head to Weymouth, where Ben Ainslie won gold to become the
:23:08. > :23:12.greatest Olympic sailor of all time. He has had a tough time this week
:23:12. > :23:17.as Jonas Hogh-Christensen looked to have the measure of him, but today,
:23:17. > :23:23.Ainslie was king of the men. Flares are designed to attract
:23:23. > :23:27.attention, something Ben Ainslie should not need. He has built an
:23:27. > :23:34.Olympic legend, and not on the seven seas but on a fair few of
:23:34. > :23:41.them. He got silver in Atlanta, gold in Sydney. He won in Athens
:23:42. > :23:48.and Beijing. At his home Olympics, a chance to have his achievements
:23:48. > :23:53.properly appreciated and in perhaps the game's' most beautiful setting,
:23:53. > :23:58.things have been turning ugly. He claimed that Jonas Hogh-Christensen
:23:58. > :24:04.and another man had forced him into a turn. They teamed up on the
:24:04. > :24:10.basically. I was seriously unhappy with that. They made a big mistake
:24:10. > :24:16.because I am angry and they did not want to make me angry. So one of
:24:16. > :24:20.the Olympic battles was to take place in Dorset. If Ainslie beat
:24:20. > :24:28.Christenson in the final race, he won gold. You might think sailing
:24:28. > :24:33.is a sport of wide, open spaces. Not so. It requires immense clarity
:24:33. > :24:38.of thought to craft a route through the courts. Ben Ainslie wins his
:24:38. > :24:44.fourth Olympic gold! It has been the hardest couple of weeks of my
:24:44. > :24:48.life. I have not slept much the last couple of days. You just have
:24:48. > :24:52.to deal with that and when you get racing, it disappears and you just
:24:52. > :24:58.get on with the job. Jonas Hogh- Christensen denied, having led
:24:58. > :25:02.right up to their end of the race. Sailing can be a very lonely sport.
:25:02. > :25:06.Ben Ainslie was greeted like a victorious Admiral's. His finest
:25:06. > :25:12.moment has come on what it seems will be his final her Olympic four
:25:12. > :25:19.yet. I don't think I can do this again, it is killing my body.
:25:19. > :25:23.his final Olympic voyage. I don't think you will see me in at Rio.
:25:23. > :25:27.Although he never competed within 100 miles of the Olympic Park, Ben
:25:27. > :25:32.Ainslie will be one of the abiding heroes of the Games.
:25:32. > :25:39.Perhaps it should have been double gold. Andrew Simpson and Iain Percy
:25:39. > :25:44.were defending their Olympic title in the Star class with an eight
:25:44. > :25:49.point lead, but they only took silver, as the Swedish pair of
:25:49. > :25:54.Fredrik Loof and Max Salminen got the gold. You are never 100%
:25:54. > :25:59.confident, it is kind of a lottery and the last race proved it. We
:25:59. > :26:04.didn't get it right. We cannot blame anybody apart from ourselves.
:26:04. > :26:08.Fair play to Sweden. They did a great job. And so did the
:26:09. > :26:13.Brazilians. We are really frustrated. Sorry to everybody
:26:13. > :26:20.watching, we feel really bad. We tried our hardest but it wasn't to
:26:20. > :26:26.What about Ben Ainslie? He said this was the toughest medal he has
:26:26. > :26:30.ever had to fight for to win. have got used to him having Olympic
:26:30. > :26:36.regattas won by Thursday, and having to proceed through this, it
:26:36. > :26:40.has been fascinating to watch him. Coming under a bit of the treatment
:26:40. > :26:45.he has dished out to others. He has not been averse to doing whatever
:26:45. > :26:51.it takes in the past. When he did that interview and said, you do not
:26:51. > :26:58.want to make me angry. That proved to be a bad call. He ripped the
:26:58. > :27:03.Dame apart. That skulduggery of any upon him. An intriguing twist and
:27:03. > :27:10.he probably needed that. -- skulduggery of hanging up on him.
:27:10. > :27:14.Yes, he was being beaten. The scale of his achievement is enormous.
:27:14. > :27:19.That is five medals now in consecutive Olympics. The first
:27:19. > :27:25.individual event person to make five consecutive medals. Steve
:27:25. > :27:34.Redgrave apart of -- was part of a team. He is an absolutely stand out
:27:34. > :27:38.Olympian. He is probably not going to go to Rio, he said as much. He
:27:39. > :27:45.has big ambitions in the Americas Cup. It would be fantastic to see
:27:45. > :27:51.him devote that incredible Brana fears and that drive and commitment
:27:51. > :27:55.-- brain of his. It will be well worth watching. Denmark were
:27:55. > :27:59.defeated on the water by Ainsley but they had something to cheer
:27:59. > :28:02.about at the Velodrome in the omnium, which is a new events in
:28:02. > :28:09.the cycling. Six different disciplines and Ed Clancy was in
:28:09. > :28:16.fourth place at the halfway stage. Three events today, four kilometre
:28:16. > :28:22.pursuit, 15km or, and Ed Clancy was down to 5th in the final one
:28:22. > :28:26.kilometre time-trial. Only good enough for bronze. Lasse Hansen is
:28:26. > :28:32.the new omnium champion. I have always said I came here for the
:28:32. > :28:38.team pursuit. I always put my eggs in one basket. Perhaps mentally as
:28:38. > :28:43.well. It is so hard getting up the very next day to go into a full-
:28:43. > :28:49.blown omnium. The pursuit, the flying lap, a personal best in all
:28:49. > :28:53.of them. It is just a shame that in the bunch races, I got torn apart
:28:53. > :28:58.by the specialists. I always knew it would be touch and go to get a
:28:58. > :29:03.medal. It is an emotional roller- coaster. One minute you are winning,
:29:03. > :29:09.then next you are completely out of the race. That is the story of the
:29:09. > :29:13.last two days. At one point, I was looking at gold, but it slipped
:29:13. > :29:18.away. We have had so much support. I even had the great Mark Cavendish
:29:18. > :29:22.on the phone to me this afternoon. The support has been unbelievable.
:29:22. > :29:28.I would like to say thanks to all of the staff, the management, the
:29:28. > :29:32.physios, they all worked so hard. They are the real heroes behind
:29:32. > :29:37.this. Victoria Pendleton has thrown through to the quarter-finals in
:29:37. > :29:45.the sprint, fresh from her keirin gold medals. She posted a new
:29:46. > :29:49.Olympic medal at before -- Olympic medal. -- Olympic record. Jason
:29:49. > :29:54.Kenny is through to the semis after setting the fastest time in
:29:54. > :30:00.qualifying. He bumped Chris Hoy of the bike for this event, which
:30:00. > :30:08.Chris won in Beijing. Tough call. That gold is to be won tomorrow.
:30:08. > :30:14.British Cycling, so driven to perfection, to women. That is the
:30:14. > :30:19.decision they make. Absolutely. It looks like a tough call but one
:30:19. > :30:23.suspects that Jason Kenny and Chris Hoy, either of them would struggle
:30:23. > :30:28.to win gold. The Frenchman is number one in the world by a long
:30:28. > :30:33.way. Fantastic for Ed Clancy. The disappointment in him, and the
:30:34. > :30:40.sailors, in not winning gold in those for the lot one sports tells
:30:40. > :30:50.you everything about how high the standards are -- for those top
:30:50. > :30:53.British athletes are either celebrating a gold medal or
:30:53. > :30:58.apologising for letting people down, and they are not letting anybody
:30:58. > :31:03.down. Louis Smith missed out on gold by the tiniest of margins in
:31:03. > :31:08.the gymnastics. He thought he had won with a faultless regime on the
:31:08. > :31:14.pommel horse. The judges gave him the same score as Krisztian Berki.
:31:14. > :31:18.It had to be decided on who had executed their regime the best, and
:31:18. > :31:28.that was the Hungarian. Silver for Smith and a bonus bronze for Max
:31:28. > :31:33.
:31:33. > :31:39.history. Never before had Britain had an Olympic gymnastics champion,
:31:39. > :31:44.it was a 116 year wait. Was it about to end? First, a surprise
:31:44. > :31:51.British contender, Max Whitlock, who produced the routine of his
:31:51. > :31:58.life to take an early lead. He is challenging for a medal! That was
:31:58. > :32:04.super stuff! Hiva still second and guaranteed a medal when Smith took
:32:04. > :32:08.centre stage. The pommel horse is the ultimate test of grace,
:32:08. > :32:16.strength and have no. Marks are awarded for difficulty and
:32:16. > :32:25.execution. The crowd held its breath. Until finally, deafeningly,
:32:25. > :32:30.they roared their approval. What an ovation for Louis Smith! All around
:32:30. > :32:40.me, the thousands of fans here are on their feet! But will it be good
:32:40. > :32:45.enough? To score to date, by hungry's Krisztian Berki. Guess
:32:45. > :32:55.what? Snap! Because Berki's execution score was higher, he got
:32:55. > :32:58.
:32:58. > :33:04.Do be beaten by anyone apart from Max, Christian Becky is that guy. -
:33:04. > :33:08.- Krisztian Berki. It is indeed be proud of. The with Whitlock taking
:33:08. > :33:18.bronze, Britain had two of the medallists. Proof that British
:33:18. > :33:23.Let catch up with some other British performers from today. The
:33:23. > :33:32.last chance of a fencing medal has gone, but we gave the eventual
:33:32. > :33:37.winners Italy a scare. They made their last eight and gave it their
:33:37. > :33:41.all before losing narrowly, 45-40. All over for the women's volleyball
:33:41. > :33:46.team, they have genuine hopes of qualifying after beating Algeria or
:33:46. > :33:51.last Monday, but subsequent defeats mean they cannot reach the quarters.
:33:51. > :33:57.The latest loss came at hands of Japan, who one in straight -- won
:33:57. > :34:05.in straight sets. The medals will be decided in
:34:05. > :34:13.showjumping tomorrow. The surprise leaders are Saudi Arabia. Scott
:34:13. > :34:19.Brash, Nick Skelton and Chris Mayer are all true.
:34:19. > :34:25.Gripper's men only need a draw against Spain at in hockey. --
:34:25. > :34:35.Group -- Great Britain's men. They stormed back to draw 3-3 after
:34:35. > :34:54.
:34:54. > :35:04.Australia have the lead. Great Britain, down to 10 men. Oh know,
:35:04. > :35:04.
:35:04. > :36:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds
:36:02. > :36:12.another mess. And the Australians Where were these players at the
:36:12. > :36:18.
:36:18. > :36:24.position that looked impossible. Goals were given away, again, it
:36:24. > :36:31.looked impossible at 3-1. But suddenly, Great Britain came to
:36:31. > :36:39.life and played really well, and Teresa -- story deserved to take a
:36:39. > :36:45.point against the best team in the They absolutely love it down there,
:36:45. > :36:49.we were watching Australia against the US, everybody is incredible. We
:36:49. > :36:53.talk about the fans at the park, but now the venue, the Olympic
:36:53. > :36:57.stadium, we were at the aquatic centre, have you been impressed by
:36:57. > :37:02.it? The turnout has been huge, a few issues around committee stage,
:37:02. > :37:07.but essentially the public have turned out in huge numbers. The
:37:07. > :37:11.enthusiasm sparked by these games has been really striking, Christine
:37:11. > :37:15.Ohuruogu was talking about how fantastic the crowd was for her,
:37:15. > :37:22.but every non-British at leads had committed on how fair and warmly
:37:22. > :37:26.they had been treated -- non- British at elite. We saw Greg
:37:26. > :37:31.Rutherford at last night, in first position, every one of them was
:37:31. > :37:38.applauded down the runway. This might have been taking hospitality
:37:38. > :37:41.too far, but the crowd has been a credit to the Games. You do get a
:37:42. > :37:48.sense that the crowd are pushing the athletes over the line.
:37:48. > :37:51.just have to think about the incredible race, with Mo Farah,
:37:51. > :37:58.that roar that distract him around the stadium, that can only have
:37:58. > :38:05.helped him. A few more British athletes to catch up with, the
:38:05. > :38:14.synchronised swimmers gave themselves a chance of qualifying
:38:14. > :38:20.for the final. The top 12 go into the final. The women's handball
:38:20. > :38:26.team have suffered a disappointing end, four straight defeats. They
:38:26. > :38:32.finished with a 37-14 hammering against Croatia. Could be the end
:38:32. > :38:39.of an era, they only formed in 2006, its future hangs in the balance, no
:38:39. > :38:49.decision is made yet I have to post gains funding. Women's basketball
:38:49. > :38:56.team all so, bowing out, the Brazil team were far too good, winning 78,
:38:56. > :39:05.its -- 7266. The women's water polo team contested a quarter-final
:39:05. > :39:09.tonight, they made quite a fist of it, only losing 9-7 to explain. She
:39:09. > :39:19.was under water with 20 seconds left, victory for the Spanish, they
:39:19. > :39:33.
:39:33. > :39:43.are now playing Hungary for a place That metal table will be in the
:39:43. > :39:43.
:39:43. > :40:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds
:40:35. > :40:40.papers tomorrow. Let's have a look We haven't got your paper, but I'm
:40:40. > :40:47.sure that Murray will figure! full of all the finest Olympic
:40:47. > :40:52.coverage! I'm sure it will be in the shops. What did you write about
:40:52. > :40:55.tonight? I wrote about Bolt and a remarkable performance which
:40:55. > :41:00.established him as the greatest ever seen. Was it easy to write,
:41:00. > :41:07.because of the doubt, or did you just immerse yourself in the
:41:07. > :41:12.moment? It is tricky because of how late it is, and several people are
:41:12. > :41:18.trying to write... But the story is so powerful. He is such a
:41:18. > :41:22.compelling athlete. The epicentre of the Games is the stadium now,
:41:22. > :41:28.with the athletes arrive, you feel that the Games have gone into six
:41:28. > :41:33.gear. Do you feel you are missing out with all the other sport? It is
:41:33. > :41:39.always remarkable how few of the French sports, if I can say that,
:41:39. > :41:46.you get round to see. -- a fringe sport. You would love to get out
:41:46. > :41:54.there and see all the people in the Stadium macro -- but they have had
:41:54. > :41:58.a fantastic time. But nobody can see the cauldron. It is something
:41:58. > :42:05.you notice more if you have been two previous games. It is a slight
:42:05. > :42:09.shame. But the court itself as a wonderful idea. A week to go, what
:42:09. > :42:17.are you looking for in this final week? You would like to see some
:42:17. > :42:25.metals come from nowhere. -- summer medals. We were treated beyond
:42:25. > :42:33.anyone's wildest dreams. Rutherford was the first cold before -- the
:42:33. > :42:39.first told no one expected. That is about it. Dan Walker is going to be
