:02:53. > :02:58.as he would have liked? Remember the stumble in the final of

:03:03. > :03:07.hearts was in their mouths, it was almost at the moment today in the
:03:08. > :03:10.home straight like that when he had a little stumble although he breezed

:03:16. > :03:20.news and the News of the rest of the athletics here is Rob Heath. It's
:03:21. > :03:24.been that kind of day in Rio, no hiding from the temperature. It is
:03:25. > :03:29.expected to be only the heat that Mo Farah needed to worry about,
:03:30. > :03:34.qualification surely a formality. But after falling during his gold
:03:35. > :03:39.medal winning 10,000 metres run on Saturday he got tangled up again on
:03:40. > :03:45.the final lap. COMMENTATOR: Mo Farah in trouble again. Be careful, Mo,
:03:46. > :03:49.just get on the outside. All you've got to do is run. You don't want to
:03:50. > :03:53.worry about it any more. You've been very lucky. Thankfully, no more
:03:54. > :03:59.alarms on the home straight and he was safely through. How well have
:04:00. > :04:03.recovered after the 10,000? Not as well as I wanted. I just need more
:04:04. > :04:08.rest now, but my feet up, chill in my room, that's all I have to do.
:04:09. > :04:13.Your place in history is assured but you will take it up another notch if
:04:14. > :04:16.you win gold in the 5000. Have you began to think about that
:04:17. > :04:21.achievement and what it would mean? Not at all. Thank you to all the
:04:22. > :04:25.people who supported me, people have sent me great messages on Snapchat
:04:26. > :04:29.and social media, thank you everyone back home, I love you all. His

:04:47. > :04:52.the watchful gaze of Caster Semenya. Oskan-Clarke wasn't able to stay
:04:53. > :04:56.ahead of the eventual winner. More impressive was Lynsey Sharpe who
:04:57. > :04:59.lived up to her name with this incisive winning performance. It was
:05:00. > :05:03.a little difficult because I've never run against any of those girls
:05:04. > :05:09.before so I did not know how they ran or how it would go but I was
:05:10. > :05:14.happy, it was good. I know it's going to take that to get among the
:05:15. > :05:18.medals but I'm close I can get close to the times that the girls were
:05:19. > :05:22.running -- I'm confident I can get close to the times they were
:05:23. > :05:25.running. For all the success that Britain has had at these games we're
:05:26. > :05:30.still waiting for a modern Daley Thompson, this time the man to beat
:05:31. > :05:33.in the decathlon is the American Ashton Eton. He is bidding to retain
:05:34. > :05:39.his title and there isn't much in the way to stop him after three
:05:40. > :05:42.events. Not much in the way of the steeplechase gold medallist either.
:05:43. > :05:45.He skipped to victory in a manner more befitting of a lap of honour
:05:46. > :05:52.than one good enough to break the Olympic record. The gold medal for
:05:53. > :05:58.him and an award for the day's most joyful performance. Rob Heath, BBC
:05:59. > :06:04.News. Natalie, we heard from Lynsey Sharpe, what news of Caster Semenya
:06:05. > :06:08.who also ran in the 800 heats? She breezed through to the semifinals
:06:09. > :06:12.seemingly not affected by the controversy that swirls around her
:06:13. > :06:15.everywhere she goes, remember back in 2009 she had to undergo gender
:06:16. > :06:20.testing and the results were leaked and it showed that she suffered from
:06:21. > :06:27.a condition which means that she has elevated levels of testosterone. The
:06:28. > :06:31.governing body of athletics, the IAAF, basically said that you could
:06:32. > :06:35.only compete if she took medication to suppress those levels. Iraq that
:06:36. > :06:40.she could only compete. When that was happening the times were not as
:06:41. > :06:44.good as they had been but that changed when another intersex
:06:45. > :06:46.athlete challenged by drooling at the Court of Arbitration for Sport
:06:47. > :06:51.and the court basically agreed that it was not fair that the governing
:06:52. > :06:56.body had not done enough to prove that testosterone did help a female
:06:57. > :07:00.athlete's times. So since then that rule had been suspended until next
:07:01. > :07:06.year is that these Olympics female athletes can race without having to
:07:07. > :07:09.take those suppressants. After that, basically, Caster Semenya's times
:07:10. > :07:14.have got much better and she is now the hot favourite to win the 800
:07:15. > :07:20.metres. But in many ways she can't win, what can she do? Either win a
:07:21. > :07:23.great race and win gold but always have this swirling around her or
:07:24. > :07:28.maybe go out and be less dominant and then not get a medal. So in many
:07:29. > :07:33.ways it's an incredibly difficult moral situation for the sport and a
:07:34. > :07:39.personal situation for Caster Semenya. Thank you, not Brooks, our
:07:40. > :07:41.sports correspondent live in the Olympic Stadium in Rio. Let's show
:07:42. > :07:45.you what else has happened. Britain's London 2012 silver

:09:39. > :09:44.police decided to dig a little deeper and they found Mr Hickey in

:10:22. > :10:27.done so legally but the police are adamant they've recovered more than
:10:28. > :10:31.1000 tickets, and while this refers to a couple of thousand tickets out

:14:14. > :14:17.and attention to detail which has given GB the edge.
:14:18. > :14:22.I think from the point of view of the other nations, we dominated in
:14:23. > :14:27.Beijing on the track and in London on the track and all of a sudden I
:14:28. > :14:30.don't think they thought that we were to dominate in Rio on the track
:14:31. > :14:33.and we have. And I think it's very, very difficult for the nations to
:14:34. > :14:38.take, they are scratching their heads and asking, how did they do
:14:39. > :14:41.it. It seems to me that the period between the World Championships in
:14:42. > :14:45.March and the summer Olympics which happens once every four years, when
:14:46. > :14:49.you perform in the middle of the summer, that period, Team GB
:14:50. > :14:57.absolutely nailed it. They almost always step up their performances
:14:58. > :15:00.from the World Championships. But the recipe, there is no magic wand.
:15:01. > :15:05.There is no secret, as it were. It's very good performance planning, its
:15:06. > :15:09.friends attention to detail, everyone pulling in the right
:15:10. > :15:12.direction and getting the periodisation right between March,
:15:13. > :15:17.through to the August games where it really matters and your best
:15:18. > :15:21.performance once every four years on the day, on a minute, that it
:15:22. > :15:26.counts. The investment by lottery across the board in sport now, we
:15:27. > :15:30.are starting to see the fruits of that investment because we are
:15:31. > :15:35.seeing the gymnastics team doing an amazing job at this games. I think
:15:36. > :15:41.it's quite similar to cycling. Prior to the year 2000, cycling, we had
:15:42. > :15:44.one gold medal in 76 years and suddenly we had this accumulation
:15:45. > :15:49.and the gymnasts are doing the same. Before this games I think they had
:15:50. > :15:53.won seven or eight medals previously and they now have one in seven or
:15:54. > :15:58.eight in one games. It's a similar type of story. What was it like last
:15:59. > :16:03.night watching Jason and Laura doing what they did in the velodrome? I
:16:04. > :16:06.was doing what everyone else was which was jumping up and down and
:16:07. > :16:13.running around the room, screaming and shouting! And then they both put
:16:14. > :16:17.in fantastic performances. Laura is untouchable, absolutely untouchable.
:16:18. > :16:20.She is so good. When you see her straight afterwards and Jesus, I
:16:21. > :16:25.can't believe what happened and everyone else says, bolder, you are
:16:26. > :16:30.so good, and it is authentic, real, it's not put on, that is Laura,
:16:31. > :16:34.she's brilliant. And Jason, so calm and collected, such a fierce
:16:35. > :16:39.competitor, his feet on the ground, a really nice guy, and he absolutely
:16:40. > :16:45.did not put a pedal revel wrong in the whole. That Sir Dave Brailsford.
:16:46. > :16:48.So as Britain's golden couple Jason Kenny and Laura Trott
:16:49. > :16:50.celebrate their ten Olympic golds - this afternoon they spoke
:16:51. > :16:59.Realistically argue ready for this upsurge of interest in the two of
:17:00. > :17:04.you when you get home? We still feel like Laura and Jason, you know, like
:17:05. > :17:07.the couple who, like you say, we were together before London, it's
:17:08. > :17:11.just that no one knew about that and we like to live a normal quiet life,
:17:12. > :17:15.we live literally in the middle of nowhere. It's nice that we go out
:17:16. > :17:17.for dog walks and we don't see anybody for miles and miles! That's
:17:18. > :17:40.the way we've always kind of been. I guess it might change and if
:17:41. > :17:43.it does we will take it in our stride, but we still feel like the
:17:44. > :17:46.same two people. Laura, you are the greatest female British Olympian in
:17:47. > :17:48.history. How does that feel? You are only 24! Weird! It's not something
:17:49. > :17:52.you go out to achieve. In London it felt like all my dreams had come
:17:53. > :17:55.true. I did not know how I was going to do it, it feels insane, it does
:17:56. > :17:57.not feel like something I could have achieved. You have levelled so Chris
:17:58. > :18:02.Hoy's record, how does that feel? It feels so real. It's not something
:18:03. > :18:07.we'd ever thought about. We have a system where we just go through the
:18:08. > :18:10.process and take any change as it comes and that's kind of what I've
:18:11. > :18:15.done and this morning at work and with three gold medals and it feels
:18:16. > :18:20.like a dream. Bizarre. -- I woke up with three gold medals. I could
:18:21. > :18:26.retire happy man. You've just witnessed Laura achieving her third
:18:27. > :18:31.gold. How proud you? Massively. She phenomenal in the Omnium. There is
:18:32. > :18:35.no doubt about it. She dominated it which makes it easier to watch
:18:36. > :18:38.because it is harder to watch other people than race yourself, even
:18:39. > :18:42.watching your mates because we are all friends and they all go racing,
:18:43. > :18:46.you want them to do well, it is doubly so when you are watching your
:18:47. > :18:50.fiance and you are hoping that all her dreams come true. I'm massively
:18:51. > :19:02.proud and dead happy for her. Some of Britain's rivals struggled to
:19:03. > :19:05.handle it, Kristina Vogel has said it is questionable, what do you make
:19:06. > :19:11.of that kind of comment from arrival? Understandable. We went to
:19:12. > :19:14.the last championships and did well and came here and did slightly
:19:15. > :19:18.better. Sometimes some listeners do slightly worse which seems bizarre
:19:19. > :19:22.because the Olympics is everything to our team and we would be
