11/08/2016 Olympic Sportsday

The Court of Appeal will rule tomorrow on whether 130,000 new

members of the Labour Party can vote in the leadership contest.

Now, we can catch up with all the sports action

Katherine Grainger Does not win gold, but she makes the podium for

the fifth Olympic Games in a row. The British Olympic cyclists compete

for the first time tonight. Andy Murray is looking good for I place

in the quarterfinals. Justin Rose celebrates the return of golf to the

Olympics by scoring a hole in one. Great Britain doubled their medal

tally from six to 12 yesterday in Rio de Janeiro,

and with 63 medals to be on the sixth day of competition

they are now up to 13. We can head to the rowing,

because we have had six finals on the Lagoon, including

the women's double sculls. And Katherine Grainger now has

the title of most decorated Our correspondent

Andy Swiss is there. Andy, Kittee Godrey in the '20s

won five tennis medals, Katherine Grainger And her partner

had been somewhat written off a few months ago. They would probably have

taken silver before the start. Yes, extraordinary drama. Katherine

Grainger Add 13 silver medals before finally getting gold in London. She

retired after that and took a two-year break from the sport. But

then she announced she was going to make a comeback with her new

partner. But the really struggled at first. Just a few months ago, there

was a big? As to whether they would actually even be in the team. In the

semifinals, they somehow managed to find the form to get into the final,

but hopes of a middleware pretty slim. But she produced one of the

performances of her life. Katherine Grainger For, London was the tip of

the mountain. No, she was reaching for the sky. The Olympic champion

were not expected to challenge this time round, but expectations exist

to be defied. And in the final quarter of the race, the British

crew were doing just that. The word ahead with one quarter of the race

to go. This is a sensational performance! This was no to boat

race for gold. The Polish peer and energy reserves to get them past

rate at the end. This will be the last strokes by Katherine Grainger

at an Olympics. This time, silver against the odds, takes its place in

her collection. Because we led most of the way that is a little tinge of

what might have been. But we're really been the last couple of

years, I am just so relieved we have done it. I thought if we came out

with any sort of medal would be my greatest achievement. To be standing

here with a big middle makes it all worthwhile. The next Olympic Games?

Mum and dad, I promise I will not put you through this again. A gold

medal and four silver medals, finishing with one she never

expected. Chasing a medal in lane two, the British pier saw the medal

hopes disappear. This team has not lost a race for seven years and they

were not about to change that. The British were beaten and two bronze

by Italy. Fourth position the hardest to take. The main squad were

also beaten. They finished in first. Germany took the gold. But today, it

was lit up Katherine Grainger by. By taking two years out of the sport,

the court said it was her finest moment. No she celebrates bravery

and Brazil. So, Grainger and Thornley's silver

the sole return today for the British team,

but there will surely be more medals to come after two very

promising semis today. Yes, a good performance from Glover

and Stanning. Gold medallists in London and unbeaten for five years.

38 races unbeaten. They had a tough match in the heats, being pushed

very hard by Denmark, but they were back to the very best to be in the

semifinal. They were very satisfied with the performance. It feels quite

normal. We just wanted to make sure we got through. Obviously, the final

is the most important. We will do what we need to do today and get

into the final in good condition. Also a good performance from the

men's four. This is the flagship event, when you look at some of the

famous names who have won Olympic gold. Sir Steve Redgrave. Canny make

it five Olympic victories in all? They are safely through after the

semifinal. I hopes the that they could maintain the success in that.

But today has belonged to Katherine Grainger, as far as Great Britain

are concerned. I hopes of a middle really seemed to be feeding. To come

away with the first Olympic medal at the age of 40 is something quite

extraordinary. Still lots of medals

to be won in the pool. Four finals in the early

hours tomorrow, but we have had more heats,

11 in the 50m freestyle. The reigning Commonwealth Champion

went in the penultimate heat and finished third in 21.83 seconds,

to qualify joint seventh fastest The man to beat is the Frenchman

Florent Manaudou, the Olympic and World Champion, who qualified

fourth fastest in the final heat. After her 400 metre silver,

Jazz Carlin is chasing another medal She came third in her heat,

to also qualify third America's Katie Ledecky

who took gold in the 200 the one to beat after she set

a new Olympic record to win James Guy has qualified

for the semifinals of the 100m butterfly.He already has a silver

in the bank after his storming leg He already has a silver in the bank

after his storming leg in the 4 by 200 freestyle a couple of days

ago in the pool. Michael Phelps is once again

the alpha male in the pool. He qualified for the

semifinals in the 100m fly. Early tomorrow morning, he will be

going after his fourth gold He is in the final of

the 200m individual medley. We can no get into the thick of the

action. The weather wiped out the tennis yesterday and it looks a lot

better today. And Andy Murray looks to be going well. Yes, it certainly

looks a lot better although it is quite blustery. Andy Murray in the

process of blowing away as Italian opponent. Into the second set and

Andy Murray progressing very smoothly. If he progresses, he will

play against the world number 22. No, very much the favourite

following the defeat of Djokiovic. Konta It is also note taking to the

court shortly, and she will also be in mixed doubles action later on

with Andy Murray 's brother. We have had all the thrills and spills of

the road races and the time trial. But no, cyclists the go into the

velodrome. Yes, this is when we expect Great Britain to start

climbing up the medal table. This is a very strong discipline for us.

Seven gold medals four years ago. There is one gold medal for grabs

tonight, the team sprint. Big expectations, as you may imagine.

Later on, the qualifiers for the team pursuit,

led by Bradley Wiggins bull-headed team. He has pulled out of a lot of

other events to concentrate on the Olympics. I hopes for them. The

women expecting to do very real in the team pursuit as well. Laura

taught all in action. Olympic Games, the race against the clock. Are they

happy with how the velodrome is looking? There was talk that there

was still a lot of wet paint around? I think there was concern up until a

few days before things got under way. It has in general been a little

rough around the edges just days before the competition. But as

things started, everything has worked fine.

Max Whitlock made history in the all-around individual final

Ellie Downie will do very well to get anywhere

Yes. Great Britain is the best finish in this event ever raised 12.

It will be a push for her to make it onto the podium. The event is going

to be dominated by the Americans. A 19-year-old sensation leads the

team. Already has two gold medals. She is going for a possible five

gold medals. Some are seeing this as the best team ever. One to watch

later on. We have a serious incidents about muggings and

assaults. Safety and security continues to be an ongoing issue?

Yes, in the latest incident, confirmation that the security

personnel were shot in a gun battle close to the Olympic Stadium. One

report suggested one of the security personnel are seriously injured. We

have seen reports of the bullet at the equestrian centre. There were

reports of gunfire on a media buzz which turned out that it was

actually rocks, as opposed to gunfire. But there is an edge to

these schemes. Security is the utmost concern of the organisers.

The ECB will guarantee the safety of spectators and athletes. Thank you

for no. In the last few seconds, another medal has been secured. C2

The final of the canoeing has just finished. The British beer qualified

third. They have taken the silver medal. It has been quite some 24

hours for them. Obviously, there was a success yesterday with the gold

medal. They had the nervous wait, because they still had two teams to

follow them. But the check team actually capsized. Great Britain up

to 14 medals. There's also the K1 coming up and that will include

Pennie of Great Britain. That is about to start in about 15 minutes.

Another medal for Great Britain. There one event going

on away from the Olympics England's cricketers have had

a pretty poor opening day to the fourth and final Test

against Pakistan at the Oval. They lost three wickets

in five runs at one stage, Moeen Ali saved the day,

before they were eventaully bowled out for 328.

David Orstein reports. The final Test match of the summer

but potentially the start of something special for England. A

series win could see them become the top ranked team in the world. The

captain said the ready for that. But for his team-mates, perhaps a work

in progress. Hales Is out of form and out of luck. Was this a clean

catch? He did not think so, but the umpire that. After lunch, he let

off. The store Court off a no ball. Ali Was dropped twice and that would

make the difference. This partner scored half centuries, almost

doubling the scorer. Ali Continue to charge. He marked his century with

the six. Pakistan have always drawn 3-1. An

early wicket. Let's get back to the Olympics

and before we look at what else is going on right

now let's just look back

at those two brilliant, if unexpected golds,

for Great Britain last night in the diving pool

and the White Water Stadium. This afternoon, our correspondent

Natalie Pirks spoke to Kayaking champion Joe Clarke and also

Chris Mears, who won 3m synchro Conditions yesterday were wet and

windy. I am joined by two of our gold medallists. How does it feel to

be Olympic champions? It is pretty dammed epic! At was an amazing day

for the team and we were just happy to be a part of that. When you have

the national anthem at the medal is hung around Germany, how does that

feel? As soon as we finished, I was desperate to get the middle. I was

trying to sing along a little bit, but I could not get any words out.

It was a dream come true. Just be reading the kit and representing the

country, knowing I had so much support back home, it was fantastic.

You had to wait after you've finished for the Chinese to go,

given the pedigree in diving, what was that wheat like? It was the

longest wait I have ever had to insure. It was only about 40

seconds, to see the scores come up and realise we had one, it was the

best feeling. You became Britain's first ever diving gold medallists.

Yes, it is something. I am so proud. You are the first example legacy,

because you trained locally at the Olympic centre. Yes, it is a

fantastic venue and to notice the guys winning in London, it was an

inspiration. I have trained really hard. Just evolve the footsteps, it

could not have gone any better. This is very special for you, because

seven years ago, that was a worry you may not be here at all. Yes, I

had to go into hospital for an operation for a ruptured spleen and

then went into a coma. To pull through, to be able to come back and

come into this Olympic Games in medal contention and then to

actually deliver on the day, it was extra special. The dressage

competition is into the second day. In the last 20 minutes, we have had

the first look at Dujardin. The British team was lying in third

after the first two riders Double olympic Champions in london 4

years ago in the team Fellow team gold medallist

from London Carl Hester and his Nip Tuck was spooked at times

in the Equestrian Centre, Golf is back on the Olympic

programme for the first So many top golfers who could have

played have opted out, citing personal reasons,

the zika virus or, as Rory McIlroy He just doesn't think that the sport

should be at the games, It's still a competitive field

and Great Britain's Justin Rose made sure we'd be talking

about the golf itself today because, he wrote himself

into the history book. On the par three fourth,

Rose - the 2013 US Open champion - did this pause for ball drop

The first hole in one at this year's He's still out on the course,

currently three under par The clubhouse leader,

Marcus Fraser went round in 63. An impressive start

from the Australian. You could still be a bronze medal in

the judo. She was picked to head out the Olympic medallist from 2012. She

was the highest seeded Briton and therefore probably our best chance

of a medal. And there has been a huge upset in the light heavyweight

competition. He unleashed a fantastic final round. He knocked

him down three times. Naomi has qualified for the quarterfinal of

the archery, beating home favourite. This is her fourth Olympic Games but

this is the first time she has reached the quarterfinals.

Dick sent to finish second behind the German in the latest round of

the windsurfing. Rugby sevens have been a big hit. Great Britain are

still in it after winning at the death against Argentina. CG got into

the final, after beating Japan. -- Fiji. The main headline today,

another silver medal to the fore Katherine Grainger both and the C2

can-do peer. Two crews going at it. They need to have one last push.

They are going away with Olympic silver. That is something to

applaud. Good evening. Although for many, it

has been cloudy today, this weather front is streaked across the north
