Good evening. More gold medals on the wake. And more tears before

:00:26.:00:31.

bedtime. Coming up on Olympic Sportsday: Lightning can strike

:00:31.:00:37.

twice. From Weymouth to Wimbledon. The two

:00:37.:00:42.

winners will Team GB today, Ben Ainslie and Andy Murray.

:00:42.:00:47.

The gloves are on for the women, Olympic history made again today.

:00:47.:00:53.

Over the next 45 minutes, we will squeeze in the best of the action

:00:53.:01:01.

from the 9th day of the Games. On hand to help make sense is will

:01:01.:01:06.

from the Telegraph. From a produce perspective, the superlatives run

:01:06.:01:13.

dry it -- but his perspective. But tonight, we had the international

:01:13.:01:18.

blockbuster. If you remember one event from past Olympic Games, it

:01:18.:01:28.
:01:28.:01:49.

Johnson when is it! Linford Christie!

:01:49.:01:53.

-- wins it! Unbelievable!

:01:53.:02:02.

Justin Gatlin is going to win it! That is superb! That is a new world

:02:02.:02:12.
:02:12.:02:19.

The men's 100m final. We had the semi-finals this evening. Usain

:02:19.:02:23.

Bolt went alongside Dwain Chambers. Chambers was the quickest British

:02:23.:02:33.
:02:33.:02:36.

sprinter but missed out on the final by 300s of a second. Justin

:02:36.:02:42.

Gatlin looked extremely quick. Only one of the eight finalists failed

:02:42.:02:52.
:02:52.:02:55.

the last nine days has provided some of those iconic sporting

:02:55.:03:00.

moments you just never forget. But the men's 100m final transcends

:03:00.:03:07.

even sport, and so does he. Usain Bolt! His bravado and brilliance,

:03:07.:03:11.

the vital ingredients in a race predicted to be the greatest of all

:03:11.:03:16.

time. The moment of truth has finally arrived. The 100m Olympic

:03:16.:03:26.
:03:26.:03:41.

champion becomes a legend! Why did we ever, ever, ever doubt the

:03:41.:03:48.

brilliance of Usain Bolt? I think even for him, this has more meaning

:03:48.:03:57.

Remember I told you what my coach said, stop worrying about you start.

:03:57.:04:02.

The best part of your race is at the end. So I stopped worrying

:04:02.:04:07.

about the start and I executed it and it worked. What do you say to

:04:07.:04:12.

the doubters? It all worked on the track. All they can do is talk.

:04:12.:04:16.

When it comes to the championships, it is all about business, and I

:04:16.:04:23.

brought it. He brings it more than most. He had to. No man over nine

:04:23.:04:33.
:04:33.:04:34.

seconds got a medal. But when you are as good as Bolt, you can afford

:04:34.:04:38.

to be confident of your ability. And they were equally confident in

:04:38.:04:43.

Jamaica. At JAMAICAN COMMENTARY: Usain Bolt,

:04:43.:04:52.

the big man means Business! Dominates in London, he is the king

:04:53.:04:58.

of sprinting, undisputed! The best in the world, Usain Bolt triumphs

:04:58.:05:02.

in majestic style! The big man is back in business!

:05:02.:05:07.

No one can deny he is very much back in business, and in London, on

:05:07.:05:12.

the eve of Jamaica's 50th anniversary of independence from

:05:12.:05:17.

Britain. If these Olympics are about creating legacy, Usain Bolt

:05:17.:05:22.

has cemented his. Never in doubt. The big man turns

:05:22.:05:29.

on the bigger engine. Jamaica heard all about it. Was it ever in doubt?

:05:29.:05:34.

I think it was, and that is why he was so delighted with what he has

:05:34.:05:39.

done tonight. This is comfortably his greatest performance. It is not

:05:39.:05:43.

his quickest time. In Beijing, it was the wildest thing I have ever

:05:43.:05:49.

seen. It was a procession. And in Berlin three years ago. But this

:05:49.:05:54.

was a race. He was under genuine pressure, particularly from Yohan

:05:54.:06:01.

Blake, but in the big competitions, he performs and that is what he did.

:06:01.:06:06.

This track is lightning-fast. Should we have seen a world record?

:06:06.:06:10.

It wasn't far off. The temperature was down to 17 degrees. The

:06:10.:06:16.

temperature gauge went off in the stadium. They were cool conditions,

:06:16.:06:24.

great for distance running, but not optimal for sprinting. A world

:06:24.:06:28.

record would have been the icing on the cake but that was fantastic.

:06:28.:06:33.

man was arrested at the start. bottle was thrown, just as the

:06:33.:06:39.

runners ran up into the set position. It lands in lane five,

:06:39.:06:43.

behind Yohan Blake. The organisers are saying they have arrested

:06:44.:06:48.

someone, the met Police have. Suggestions that there was an

:06:48.:06:56.

incident in the crowd after he did it. Edith Bosch is claiming to have

:06:56.:07:02.

pushed the man who did it! No idea if that is true. Clearly, it is

:07:02.:07:07.

slightly embarrassing for LOCOG. Quite fitting Olympic justice!

:07:07.:07:12.

one person you don't want to be sitting next to it is someone who

:07:12.:07:18.

is competing in judo! Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce took the women's 100m.

:07:18.:07:24.

Jamaica it continues to produce the greatest sprinters. Fantastic. The

:07:24.:07:29.

50th anniversary of independence, this is a huge moment for them. And

:07:29.:07:36.

now they have Yohan Blake as well. Many thanks. Four years ago,

:07:36.:07:40.

Christine Ohuruogu came back from Beijing with Team GB's only gold in

:07:40.:07:44.

athletics and since then, has not come close to that form, but no one

:07:44.:07:49.

in the British team can feel more at home and her. Her family live

:07:49.:07:54.

just outside the Olympic Park in Stratford. She was worried about

:07:54.:07:59.

getting her mum and dad and seven per Scissors Sisters enough tickets,

:07:59.:08:07.

and she has a silver medal to show them tonight -- seven brothers and

:08:07.:08:17.
:08:17.:08:35.

Richards Ross. But Christine DeeDee Trotter is trying to get

:08:35.:08:41.

into this. Christine Ohuruogu has got a chance, right on the outside!

:08:41.:08:46.

Six of them altogether here! DeeDee Trotter are coming through! Sanya

:08:46.:08:50.

Richards Ross is coming through, and Christine Ohuruogu, can she get

:08:50.:08:58.

there?! Will she make it?! Sanya Richards Ross takes the gold,

:08:58.:09:08.
:09:08.:09:10.

Christine Ohuruogu, a Stirling, Your reaction, Christine? I was

:09:10.:09:17.

stunned. I was stunned. I don't know, I was heartbroken actually. I

:09:17.:09:24.

was heartbroken, I really was. To have, you know, to use your title

:09:24.:09:31.

like that... -- to lose your title. It was tough. Sanya Richards Ross

:09:31.:09:35.

is a worthy competitor and she ran a good race and I have to be happy

:09:35.:09:40.

with what I got, it could have been worse. It looked like it could have

:09:40.:09:46.

been Beijing all over again. I know. But I tightened up. I could feel my

:09:46.:09:51.

shoulders lifting. It is really hard to control when you are under

:09:51.:09:56.

fatigue. I thought I still had some time, but then the line came too

:09:56.:10:03.

soon and I thought, no, it has gone, it has gone. Let's look at how some

:10:03.:10:08.

of the other British athletes did in the stadium. He MLA at Dannatt,

:10:08.:10:13.

the final of the triple jump. The 39-year-old posted the second

:10:13.:10:17.

longest jump in the qualifying stages but it was only good enough

:10:17.:10:27.
:10:27.:10:32.

of Seth -- Yemi let -- Yamile Adana. Perri Shakes Drayton breed true the

:10:32.:10:38.

first round of the 400m hurdles in really good time. She is one of the

:10:38.:10:43.

quickest in the world this year, and a local girl. She can see the

:10:43.:10:47.

Olympic stadium from the end of her street. There will be no British

:10:47.:10:53.

runner in the final of the men's 1,500m. Andy Baddeley was eighth,

:10:53.:10:57.

Ross Murray was 10th. Oscar Pistorius failed to make it through

:10:57.:11:03.

to the final of the 400m. The first double amputee to compete at the

:11:03.:11:07.

Games was never really in contention will. The British trio

:11:07.:11:13.

also went out. Alex Smith was a surprise finalist in the men's

:11:13.:11:19.

hammer. He finished last with a throw of 72.87. That was about

:11:19.:11:28.

eight metres short of the winner We didn't quite reach the height of

:11:28.:11:31.

Saturday, but are really gutsy run from Christine Ohuruogu. Fantastic

:11:31.:11:37.

to see her perform and get a silver medal. She has had a dreadful time

:11:37.:11:43.

since Beijing, it was nearly a repeat performance, the leader went

:11:43.:11:49.

out far too fast, and she overhauled the guys at the front.

:11:49.:11:56.

In Kenmore metres, she would have won. -- in Pennymoor metres. She

:11:56.:12:03.

had a real shot at goal. I have just had a question for you, "I was

:12:03.:12:08.

more impressed with what Oskar Pistorius did tonight than what

:12:08.:12:15.

Usain Bolt did, the effect will be Worlock -- long-lasting, as well".

:12:15.:12:19.

It is quite stunning to see what he has achieved to get here. To hear

:12:19.:12:23.

people suggesting, as they still are, that he somehow has an

:12:23.:12:29.

advantage, is an affront to common sense. He still has the relays to

:12:29.:12:35.

come. Many thanks, you are right up to date with what happened in the

:12:35.:12:40.

stadium tonight. Let me down to Wimbledon, where Andy Murray is

:12:40.:12:50.
:12:50.:12:57.

champion. We would have loved to You just have to take your hat off

:12:57.:13:07.
:13:07.:13:25.

Well, he was back on Centre Court today against the Swiss, Murray was

:13:25.:13:32.

blubbing again, but it has been almost routine. He got a silver in

:13:32.:13:36.

the mixed doubles, but in no way would that take the gloss off what

:13:36.:13:41.

he has already achieved. The way he played today, his a medal macro was

:13:41.:13:50.

only going to be one colour. He absolutely thrashed Federer today.

:13:50.:13:54.

What did this mean to Andy Murray? To revisit the scene of his most

:13:54.:13:57.

heartbreaking scene go by to take on the man who laid in solo four

:13:57.:14:04.

weeks ago. Andy Murray had excelled, it is not just the ticket that has

:14:04.:14:10.

changed. Since he lost at Wimbledon final, perhaps he had lost his

:14:10.:14:19.

inhibitions, too. The first set, 6- 2. So the first set, one in

:14:19.:14:24.

impressive style. Everyone realises, this is now or never. Grand Slams

:14:24.:14:28.

will come and go, Andy Murray will never again have the chance to win

:14:28.:14:36.

the Olympics here, on Centre Court. Centre court, Federer threw himself

:14:36.:14:44.

into it, still Murray was better. Now it was his gold medal to lose.

:14:44.:14:48.

Not a hint of a mistake in the third set. Victory in straight

:14:48.:14:56.

sets! Simple! It is a golden triumph for Andy Murray! He went

:14:56.:14:58.

directly to those who have supported him through thick and

:14:58.:15:03.

thin, he said his extra inspiration have come from watching Mo Farah on

:15:03.:15:09.

Saturday night. That was the number one for me, the biggest win of my

:15:09.:15:16.

life. This week has been incredible so far. And I have had a lot of fun,

:15:16.:15:20.

the support has been amazing. wasn't finished. Even after

:15:20.:15:24.

collecting the gold medal, there was one more job to do, the mixed

:15:24.:15:29.

doubles final. They took the first set but eventually lost to Victoria

:15:29.:15:35.

Azarenka and Max Mirnyi of Belarus. Now I Olympic champions always have

:15:35.:15:41.

fresh demands on their time. Centre Court has already enjoyed seeing

:15:41.:15:50.

his sensitive side, now he can say The critics say that tennis has no

:15:50.:15:54.

place in the Olympics because the players care so much more about the

:15:54.:15:59.

majors, the Grand Slams. Would you dare say that to Andy Murray

:15:59.:16:05.

tonight? You have to look at the attitude of the best players in the

:16:05.:16:12.

world to these events, Rafael Nadal one the Olympic gold in Beijing and

:16:12.:16:22.
:16:22.:16:23.

was desperate to do so. -- won the Olympic gold in Beijing. The

:16:23.:16:27.

Olympic spirit is so strong, not strong enough to make a British

:16:27.:16:32.

team one on penalties, as we saw last night! Everybody from G4S has

:16:32.:16:39.

just been raving about how Andy Murray seems to have embraced the

:16:39.:16:43.

Olympic spirit, and the ideal, he was a man possessed. Absolutely,

:16:43.:16:51.

that is the point have made your part of a wider team, part of 542

:16:51.:16:58.

at leads, he has bought into it. He has one it for his country, not for

:16:58.:17:02.

Andy Murray, that can relieve some of the pressure. And he has won it

:17:02.:17:06.

the hard way, while playing in the doubles with his brother, fantastic

:17:06.:17:11.

for him to get through to the final, a silver medal for him and Laura

:17:11.:17:16.

Robson. Yes, probably too much to hope for a double, but they still

:17:16.:17:26.
:17:26.:17:30.

have a medal. 23 gold medals to be grabbed across the games today.

:17:30.:17:33.

There was also some punching other sort never seen before at the

:17:33.:17:43.

It is all about the agony and ecstasy. Emerging from the spangly

:17:43.:17:47.

tunnel, or women, allowed to compete in boxing for the first

:17:47.:17:55.

time ever. This Russian made history with victory in the first

:17:55.:18:01.

bout. In the's five-time world champion came out of retirement for

:18:01.:18:09.

a double special occasion, her little boy's 5th birthday. She's a

:18:09.:18:16.

sisterly pummelled her Polish opponent. To the protagonists of

:18:16.:18:20.

synchronised swimming, it is a heavy schedule of painful bending

:18:20.:18:25.

and Son House smiling through a thoroughly taxing ordeal. Russia

:18:25.:18:35.

lead on day one. As with table tennis, the rest of the world

:18:35.:18:40.

should give up when it comes to badminton and let time I get on

:18:40.:18:47.

with it, or so we thought! Suddenly Malaysia or were ahead. But China's

:18:47.:18:51.

finest got his act together to make it 1-1 before winning the final

:18:51.:18:57.

game in something of a nail biter to take the gold medal. They

:18:57.:19:00.

eventually calmed him down enough to give him his medal, and the

:19:00.:19:05.

Chinese have the weight would also win the Double. This brings us

:19:05.:19:13.

nicely on to weightlifting. The showdown for the Gold between China

:19:13.:19:18.

and Russia. After victory in this match, the Russian looked like she

:19:19.:19:26.

was on the way to glory. But eventually, a world record was set.

:19:26.:19:34.

52 stone! Her coaches were delighted. Tatyana, less so. There

:19:34.:19:40.

was yet more Chinese success in the diving. An exemplary display it in

the springboard to stop --. Germany one bronze despite at this injury,

:19:49.:19:54.

he went careering off the piste. There was controversy in the final

:19:54.:19:58.

when the judge awarded a point to Italy even though the Japanese

:19:58.:20:08.
:20:08.:20:09.

dancer touched first. It proved to be the turning point. There was no

stopping Serena Williams at the tennis, along with her sister, they

:20:12.:20:19.

wrapped up another gold for the USA, and from the tranquillity of the

All England Club to be swept pit that is Greco-Roman wrestling. The

:20:26.:20:31.

first Iranian to win a gold in this discipline. Clearly, it meant a

:20:31.:20:36.

great deal. We finish where we started, in the boxing. Something

:20:37.:20:43.

of a controversial decision, the Azerbaijani one the fight on

:20:43.:20:50.

countback after the score was even. -- won the fight. His opponent

:20:50.:21:00.
:21:00.:21:01.

refused to leave the ring. He had We saw the first female boxers.

:21:01.:21:07.

Natasha Jonas was the first woman in an Olympic vest, in a

:21:07.:21:11.

lightweight contest against Queen Underwood of the USA. They were

:21:11.:21:19.

involved in a right royal rumble. The American in read it tried to

:21:19.:21:25.

take the fight to Jonas, but she held on. The Queen was dethroned,

:21:25.:21:32.

and Jonas now has a chance of a medal. She faces Katie Taylor of

:21:32.:21:42.
:21:42.:21:43.

Britain are guaranteed their first boxing medal of the Games. The Luke

:21:43.:21:48.

Campbell is a short at least a bronze after a tough encounter

:21:48.:21:53.

against the Bulgarian. Luke Campbell turned a deficit around to

:21:53.:22:00.

win the contest 16-15. What a fight! A win against Japan on

:22:00.:22:07.

Friday it would give him a shot at goal.

:22:07.:22:12.

Boxing will always start a debate, but what do you think about the

:22:12.:22:17.

women being included? If the IOC is going to press for every country to

:22:18.:22:22.

be truly represented at the Games, you have to have all sports for men

:22:22.:22:26.

and women. We have come a long way from the days when it was

:22:26.:22:30.

considered bad for a woman's help to run 800m, which was not so no

:22:30.:22:37.

word go, so I will commit. We see professional boxing champions born

:22:37.:22:41.

from the Olympic Games. -- I welcome it. Do you think this

:22:41.:22:46.

should have come sooner? It has come as soon as it could have come.

:22:46.:22:51.

The debate is always slow moving. When we get to the climax of the

:22:51.:22:56.

boxing competition, it is always a brilliant moment in the game's.

:22:56.:23:01.

Let's head to Weymouth, where Ben Ainslie won gold to become the

:23:02.:23:07.

greatest Olympic sailor of all time. He has had a tough time this week

:23:08.:23:12.

as Jonas Hogh-Christensen looked to have the measure of him, but today,

:23:12.:23:17.

Ainslie was king of the men. Flares are designed to attract

:23:17.:23:23.

attention, something Ben Ainslie should not need. He has built an

:23:23.:23:27.

Olympic legend, and not on the seven seas but on a fair few of

:23:27.:23:34.

them. He got silver in Atlanta, gold in Sydney. He won in Athens

:23:34.:23:41.

and Beijing. At his home Olympics, a chance to have his achievements

:23:42.:23:48.

properly appreciated and in perhaps the game's' most beautiful setting,

:23:48.:23:53.

things have been turning ugly. He claimed that Jonas Hogh-Christensen

:23:53.:23:58.

and another man had forced him into a turn. They teamed up on the

:23:58.:24:04.

basically. I was seriously unhappy with that. They made a big mistake

:24:04.:24:10.

because I am angry and they did not want to make me angry. So one of

:24:10.:24:16.

the Olympic battles was to take place in Dorset. If Ainslie beat

:24:16.:24:20.

Christenson in the final race, he won gold. You might think sailing

:24:20.:24:28.

is a sport of wide, open spaces. Not so. It requires immense clarity

:24:28.:24:33.

of thought to craft a route through the courts. Ben Ainslie wins his

:24:33.:24:38.

fourth Olympic gold! It has been the hardest couple of weeks of my

:24:38.:24:44.

life. I have not slept much the last couple of days. You just have

:24:44.:24:48.

to deal with that and when you get racing, it disappears and you just

:24:48.:24:52.

get on with the job. Jonas Hogh- Christensen denied, having led

:24:52.:24:58.

right up to their end of the race. Sailing can be a very lonely sport.

:24:58.:25:02.

Ben Ainslie was greeted like a victorious Admiral's. His finest

:25:02.:25:06.

moment has come on what it seems will be his final her Olympic four

:25:06.:25:12.

yet. I don't think I can do this again, it is killing my body.

:25:12.:25:19.

his final Olympic voyage. I don't think you will see me in at Rio.

:25:19.:25:23.

Although he never competed within 100 miles of the Olympic Park, Ben

:25:23.:25:27.

Ainslie will be one of the abiding heroes of the Games.

:25:27.:25:32.

Perhaps it should have been double gold. Andrew Simpson and Iain Percy

:25:32.:25:39.

were defending their Olympic title in the Star class with an eight

:25:39.:25:44.

point lead, but they only took silver, as the Swedish pair of

:25:44.:25:49.

Fredrik Loof and Max Salminen got the gold. You are never 100%

:25:49.:25:54.

confident, it is kind of a lottery and the last race proved it. We

:25:54.:25:59.

didn't get it right. We cannot blame anybody apart from ourselves.

:25:59.:26:04.

Fair play to Sweden. They did a great job. And so did the

:26:04.:26:08.

Brazilians. We are really frustrated. Sorry to everybody

:26:09.:26:13.

watching, we feel really bad. We tried our hardest but it wasn't to

:26:13.:26:20.

What about Ben Ainslie? He said this was the toughest medal he has

:26:20.:26:26.

ever had to fight for to win. have got used to him having Olympic

:26:26.:26:30.

regattas won by Thursday, and having to proceed through this, it

:26:30.:26:36.

has been fascinating to watch him. Coming under a bit of the treatment

:26:36.:26:40.

he has dished out to others. He has not been averse to doing whatever

:26:40.:26:45.

it takes in the past. When he did that interview and said, you do not

:26:45.:26:51.

want to make me angry. That proved to be a bad call. He ripped the

:26:51.:26:58.

Dame apart. That skulduggery of any upon him. An intriguing twist and

:26:58.:27:03.

he probably needed that. -- skulduggery of hanging up on him.

:27:03.:27:10.

Yes, he was being beaten. The scale of his achievement is enormous.

:27:10.:27:14.

That is five medals now in consecutive Olympics. The first

:27:14.:27:19.

individual event person to make five consecutive medals. Steve

:27:19.:27:25.

Redgrave apart of -- was part of a team. He is an absolutely stand out

:27:25.:27:34.

Olympian. He is probably not going to go to Rio, he said as much. He

:27:34.:27:38.

has big ambitions in the Americas Cup. It would be fantastic to see

:27:39.:27:45.

him devote that incredible Brana fears and that drive and commitment

:27:45.:27:51.

-- brain of his. It will be well worth watching. Denmark were

:27:51.:27:55.

defeated on the water by Ainsley but they had something to cheer

:27:55.:27:59.

about at the Velodrome in the omnium, which is a new events in

:27:59.:28:02.

the cycling. Six different disciplines and Ed Clancy was in

:28:02.:28:09.

fourth place at the halfway stage. Three events today, four kilometre

:28:09.:28:16.

pursuit, 15km or, and Ed Clancy was down to 5th in the final one

:28:16.:28:22.

kilometre time-trial. Only good enough for bronze. Lasse Hansen is

:28:22.:28:26.

the new omnium champion. I have always said I came here for the

:28:26.:28:32.

team pursuit. I always put my eggs in one basket. Perhaps mentally as

:28:32.:28:38.

well. It is so hard getting up the very next day to go into a full-

:28:38.:28:43.

blown omnium. The pursuit, the flying lap, a personal best in all

:28:43.:28:49.

of them. It is just a shame that in the bunch races, I got torn apart

:28:49.:28:53.

by the specialists. I always knew it would be touch and go to get a

:28:53.:28:58.

medal. It is an emotional roller- coaster. One minute you are winning,

:28:58.:29:03.

then next you are completely out of the race. That is the story of the

:29:03.:29:09.

last two days. At one point, I was looking at gold, but it slipped

:29:09.:29:13.

away. We have had so much support. I even had the great Mark Cavendish

:29:13.:29:18.

on the phone to me this afternoon. The support has been unbelievable.

:29:18.:29:22.

I would like to say thanks to all of the staff, the management, the

:29:22.:29:28.

physios, they all worked so hard. They are the real heroes behind

:29:28.:29:32.

this. Victoria Pendleton has thrown through to the quarter-finals in

:29:32.:29:37.

the sprint, fresh from her keirin gold medals. She posted a new

:29:37.:29:45.

Olympic medal at before -- Olympic medal. -- Olympic record. Jason

:29:46.:29:49.

Kenny is through to the semis after setting the fastest time in

:29:49.:29:54.

qualifying. He bumped Chris Hoy of the bike for this event, which

:29:54.:30:00.

Chris won in Beijing. Tough call. That gold is to be won tomorrow.

:30:00.:30:08.

British Cycling, so driven to perfection, to women. That is the

:30:08.:30:14.

decision they make. Absolutely. It looks like a tough call but one

:30:14.:30:19.

suspects that Jason Kenny and Chris Hoy, either of them would struggle

:30:19.:30:23.

to win gold. The Frenchman is number one in the world by a long

:30:23.:30:28.

way. Fantastic for Ed Clancy. The disappointment in him, and the

:30:28.:30:33.

sailors, in not winning gold in those for the lot one sports tells

:30:34.:30:40.

you everything about how high the standards are -- for those top

:30:40.:30:50.

British athletes are either celebrating a gold medal or

:30:50.:30:53.

apologising for letting people down, and they are not letting anybody

:30:53.:30:58.

down. Louis Smith missed out on gold by the tiniest of margins in

:30:58.:31:03.

the gymnastics. He thought he had won with a faultless regime on the

:31:03.:31:08.

pommel horse. The judges gave him the same score as Krisztian Berki.

:31:08.:31:14.

It had to be decided on who had executed their regime the best, and

:31:14.:31:18.

that was the Hungarian. Silver for Smith and a bonus bronze for Max

:31:18.:31:28.
:31:28.:31:33.

history. Never before had Britain had an Olympic gymnastics champion,

:31:33.:31:39.

it was a 116 year wait. Was it about to end? First, a surprise

:31:39.:31:44.

British contender, Max Whitlock, who produced the routine of his

:31:44.:31:51.

life to take an early lead. He is challenging for a medal! That was

:31:51.:31:58.

super stuff! Hiva still second and guaranteed a medal when Smith took

:31:58.:32:04.

centre stage. The pommel horse is the ultimate test of grace,

:32:04.:32:08.

strength and have no. Marks are awarded for difficulty and

:32:08.:32:16.

execution. The crowd held its breath. Until finally, deafeningly,

:32:16.:32:25.

they roared their approval. What an ovation for Louis Smith! All around

:32:25.:32:30.

me, the thousands of fans here are on their feet! But will it be good

:32:30.:32:40.

enough? To score to date, by hungry's Krisztian Berki. Guess

:32:40.:32:45.

what? Snap! Because Berki's execution score was higher, he got

:32:45.:32:55.
:32:55.:32:58.

Do be beaten by anyone apart from Max, Christian Becky is that guy. -

:32:58.:33:04.

- Krisztian Berki. It is indeed be proud of. The with Whitlock taking

:33:04.:33:08.

bronze, Britain had two of the medallists. Proof that British

:33:08.:33:18.

Let catch up with some other British performers from today. The

:33:18.:33:23.

last chance of a fencing medal has gone, but we gave the eventual

:33:23.:33:32.

winners Italy a scare. They made their last eight and gave it their

:33:32.:33:37.

all before losing narrowly, 45-40. All over for the women's volleyball

:33:37.:33:41.

team, they have genuine hopes of qualifying after beating Algeria or

:33:41.:33:46.

last Monday, but subsequent defeats mean they cannot reach the quarters.

:33:46.:33:51.

The latest loss came at hands of Japan, who one in straight -- won

:33:51.:33:57.

in straight sets. The medals will be decided in

:33:57.:34:05.

showjumping tomorrow. The surprise leaders are Saudi Arabia. Scott

:34:05.:34:13.

Brash, Nick Skelton and Chris Mayer are all true.

:34:13.:34:19.

Gripper's men only need a draw against Spain at in hockey. --

Group -- Great Britain's men. They stormed back to draw 3-3 after

:34:35.:34:54.

Australia have the lead. Great Britain, down to 10 men. Oh know,

:34:54.:35:04.

another mess. And the Australians Where were these players at the

we were watching Australia against the US, everybody is incredible. We

talk about the fans at the park, but now the venue, the Olympic

:36:49.:36:53.

stadium, we were at the aquatic centre, have you been impressed by

:36:53.:36:57.

it? The turnout has been huge, a few issues around committee stage,

:36:57.:37:02.

but essentially the public have turned out in huge numbers. The

:37:02.:37:07.

enthusiasm sparked by these games has been really striking, Christine

:37:07.:37:11.

Ohuruogu was talking about how fantastic the crowd was for her,

:37:11.:37:15.

but every non-British at leads had committed on how fair and warmly

:37:15.:37:22.

they had been treated -- non- British at elite. We saw Greg

:37:22.:37:26.

Rutherford at last night, in first position, every one of them was

:37:26.:37:31.

applauded down the runway. This might have been taking hospitality

:37:31.:37:38.

too far, but the crowd has been a credit to the Games. You do get a

:37:38.:37:41.

sense that the crowd are pushing the athletes over the line.

:37:42.:37:48.

just have to think about the incredible race, with Mo Farah,

:37:48.:37:51.

that roar that distract him around the stadium, that can only have

for the final. The top 12 go into the final. The women's handball

finished with a 37-14 hammering against Croatia. Could be the end

:40:35.:40:40.

sure that Murray will figure! full of all the finest Olympic

:40:40.:40:47.

coverage! I'm sure it will be in the shops. What did you write about

:40:47.:40:52.

tonight? I wrote about Bolt and a remarkable performance which

:40:52.:40:55.

established him as the greatest ever seen. Was it easy to write,

:40:55.:41:00.

because of the doubt, or did you just immerse yourself in the

:41:00.:41:07.

moment? It is tricky because of how late it is, and several people are

:41:07.:41:12.

trying to write... But the story is so powerful. He is such a

:41:12.:41:18.

compelling athlete. The epicentre of the Games is the stadium now,

:41:18.:41:22.

with the athletes arrive, you feel that the Games have gone into six

:41:22.:41:28.

gear. Do you feel you are missing out with all the other sport? It is

:41:28.:41:33.

always remarkable how few of the French sports, if I can say that,

:41:33.:41:39.

you get round to see. -- a fringe sport. You would love to get out

:41:39.:41:46.

there and see all the people in the Stadium macro -- but they have had

:41:46.:41:54.

a fantastic time. But nobody can see the cauldron. It is something

:41:54.:41:58.

you notice more if you have been two previous games. It is a slight

:41:58.:42:05.

shame. But the court itself as a wonderful idea. A week to go, what

:42:05.:42:09.

are you looking for in this final week? You would like to see some

:42:09.:42:17.

metals come from nowhere. -- summer medals. We were treated beyond

:42:17.:42:25.

anyone's wildest dreams. Rutherford was the first cold before -- the
