:01:15. > :01:18.at Great Britain's rivals who've questioned their dominance

:01:19. > :01:20.in track cycling. And after Irish boxer

:01:21. > :01:28.Michael Conlon is controversially knocked out of the Games,

:01:29. > :01:31.we'll have the story of a 5-year old boy who's sent him his school

:01:35. > :01:41.on Day 12 at the Rio Olympics, One of them is about to be taken by

:01:42. > :01:45.Great Britain. It was all but won yesterday, it will be hanging around

:01:46. > :01:54.the necks of Saskia Clark and Hannah Mills today when eventually went the

:01:55. > :01:56.women's 470 sailing. It was due to start earlier, there wasn't enough

:01:57. > :02:00.wind, not ideal for sailing. They had a 20-point lead

:02:01. > :02:02.going into the finale after finishing 2nd and 3rd

:02:03. > :02:05.yesterday having missed out on gold at London 2012 having settled

:02:08. > :02:10.and Hannah Mills will become Olympic champions securing gold number

:02:11. > :02:14.20 for Great Britain. That was about half an hour ago.

:02:15. > :02:20.These are life pictures, and the wait for that medal goes on. Delayed

:02:21. > :02:26.by around 90 minutes -- live pictures. It should start in about

:02:27. > :02:31.15 minutes's time, it does not look like they've got a lot of wind

:02:32. > :02:32.there. When it does begin it is guaranteed that they will be another

:02:33. > :02:35.gold for Great Britain. From the Marina da Gloria

:02:36. > :02:39.to the Olympic Stadium in Rio where Mo Farah's bid to become

:02:40. > :02:42.Olympic double double champion over 5 thousand and 10

:02:43. > :02:44.thousand metres continues. Our Sports correspondent

:02:45. > :02:50.Natalie Pirks is there for us and Natalie you watched Farah come

:02:51. > :02:52.through his heat in the 5000 but not as straight forward

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

:02:59. > :03:02.the 10,000 metres when he was on the floor and got up and everyone's

: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

:03:11. > :03:15.through and finished third and made the final on Saturday. With all the

: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

:04:30. > :04:33.team-mate Andrew Butchart also booked his place in the final on

:04:34. > :04:38.Saturday with a brave fifth place in his seat and through to the

:04:39. > :04:46.semifinals of the women's 800 metres is shown in Oskan-Clarke, here under

: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

:07:46. > :07:47.medallists Liam Heath and John Schofield have won a place

:07:48. > :07:50.in the final of the men's Kayak The British pair led

:07:51. > :07:54.from the start in their semi-final and powered to the line

:07:55. > :07:57.with an impressive display. Having recorded the fastest time

:07:58. > :07:59.in the semis, they'll receive a favourable lane

:08:00. > :08:01.in tomorrow's final. Rajiv Ouseph's chance of a medal

:08:02. > :08:06.in Badminton was ended by European champion and fourth seed

:08:07. > :08:13.Viktor Axelsen from Denmark. The world No 15 lost

:08:14. > :08:14.his quarter final Ouseph's ambition before

:08:15. > :08:18.the Olympics was to reach Good news from the individual show

:08:19. > :08:22.jumping where Britain's Nick Skelton and Ben Maher both made it

:08:23. > :08:27.through to Friday's final. Skelton went through on five faults

:08:28. > :08:30.on Big Star, while Maher and Tic Tac jumped a fine round in today's

:08:31. > :08:33.qualifying, recording just one time The British pair are among 35 riders

:08:34. > :08:40.who go in that final. Police in Rio meanwhile

:08:41. > :08:43.have arrested the head of the European Olympic Committees,

:08:44. > :08:45.Patrick Hickey, over The 71-year-old Irishman

:08:46. > :08:53.is suspected of passing on tickets for the Games to be sold

:08:54. > :08:56.on at extortionate prices according to a Brazilian media report and has

:08:57. > :09:05.stood down temporarilly. We can speak to our Brazil

:09:06. > :09:12.correspondence, Wyre Davies. An extraordinary story, what more can

:09:13. > :09:17.you tell us about this? Pat Hickey, 71 years old, was one of the most

:09:18. > :09:23.senior figures in European Olympic circles until he stood down a few

:09:24. > :09:26.minutes ago, he was president of the Olympic Council of Ireland.

:09:27. > :09:29.According to Brazilian police who have since held a press conference

:09:30. > :09:34.he was arrested at his luxury hotel earlier this morning. Initially has

:09:35. > :09:38.wife had said he wasn't in the hotel and had returned to Ireland but

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

:09:45. > :09:49.another room. He has been arrested on allegations of being part of a

:09:50. > :09:53.wider scheme to distribute and illegally sell at inflated prices

:09:54. > :09:57.some top Olympic tickets for events like the athletic finals and the

:09:58. > :10:04.opening ceremony and the closing ceremony. According to police, this

:10:05. > :10:08.scheme could have generated at least ?2 million in illegal profits.

:10:09. > :10:14.They've already made several other arrests earlier in the week,

:10:15. > :10:18.executives from a company called T H G, that company denies doing

:10:19. > :10:21.anything illegal and says any tickets it may have thought were

: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

:10:32. > :10:36.of several million Olympic tickets it is embarrassing for the IOC and

:10:37. > :10:42.four Rio in 2016 when ticketing itself has been such a huge story at

:10:43. > :10:44.these Olympics. Thank you. Another interesting story, one Brazilian

:10:45. > :10:51.judge has ordered that the passport of the American swimmer Ryan Lochte

:10:52. > :10:54.and one of his team-mates be seized and ordered them to remain in the

:10:55. > :10:57.country as authorities investigate the claim that they were robbed at

:10:58. > :11:04.gunpoint during the games. It is not clear if the swimmers are still in

:11:05. > :11:08.Brazil. It is said that officials want to collect the passports yet

:11:09. > :11:12.the team were out. The swimmer and his team-mates claimed that they

:11:13. > :11:16.were robbed at gunpoint when they returned to the Olympic Village

:11:17. > :11:19.several hours after the events ended. Please have found little

:11:20. > :11:22.evidence to support their account and said the swimmers were not able

:11:23. > :11:25.to provide key details in police interviews.

:11:26. > :11:27.Catriona Matthew and Charley Hull are both taking part

:11:28. > :11:29.in the women's golf tournament which started earlier today.

:11:30. > :11:32.The pair are looking to emulate Justin Rose and take gold

:11:33. > :11:37.Hull was the last to tee off at the Reserva de Marapendi course,

:11:38. > :11:43.but made three birdies on the front nine.

:11:44. > :11:47.This chip here on the fifth helping her to one of those.

:11:48. > :11:50.And the 20 year-old then sent this long range putt close to make

:11:51. > :11:57.She's currently three under through 12 holes.

:11:58. > :12:04.While Catriona Matthew is already back in the clubhouse

:12:05. > :12:08.She scored a double bogey on the third but went

:12:09. > :12:10.on to make three birdies, finishing level par on 71.

:12:11. > :12:12.And these are live pictures from Marapendi.

:12:13. > :12:20.She is back in the clubhouse on a round of five under par.

:12:21. > :12:22.Hull is playing alongside the favourite for gold,

:12:23. > :12:25.After a dismal start to the men's football,

:12:26. > :12:28.with two goalless draws, the hosts Brazil have come into form

:12:29. > :12:38.They thrashed Denmark in their final group game and beat Columbia 2 nil

:12:39. > :12:42.in the last 8 to reach their 3rd straight Olympic semi-final.

:12:43. > :12:44.They couldn't have started much better in their semi

:12:45. > :12:46.with their captain and talisman Neymar giving them the lead

:12:47. > :12:49.Former Tottenham and Wigan midfielder Wilson Palacios

:12:50. > :12:51.with the mistake and Neymar who's been in the wars

:12:52. > :12:56.New Manchester City signing Gabriel Jesus added two more

:12:57. > :13:04.Gabriel Jesus will not join City until January.

:13:05. > :13:08.They'll face either Nigeria or Germany in the final,

:13:09. > :13:12.they play in the other semi at 8 o'clock tonight.

:13:13. > :13:14.From one semi final to another...it's the last 4

:13:15. > :13:17.of the women's hockey today, and the first team into gold medal

:13:18. > :13:19.match are the Netherlands, who came through a thrilling

:13:20. > :13:23.1-1 at full time, the match went to a penalty shoot out,

:13:24. > :13:30.You would expect the Germans to win but the Dutch won it, 4-3.

:13:31. > :13:32.Cue wild celebrations from them, and some tears from the Germans.

:13:33. > :13:35.The Netherlands will face either New Zealand or Great

:13:36. > :13:38.They play their semi-final at 9 o'clock this evening.

:13:39. > :13:43.A win for Team GB would of course guarantee them another medal.

:13:44. > :13:46.British cycling's former performance director Sir Dave Brailsford has hit

:13:47. > :13:49.back at Great Britain's rivals, who've questioned their dominance

:13:50. > :13:53.in the sport which has seen GB win 11 medals in the Velodrome in Rio

:13:54. > :14:00.Kristina Vogel, the German sprinter, described their success

:14:01. > :14:03.French riders Michael D'Almeida and Laurent Gan-ay have also

:14:04. > :14:11.Brailsford, who's masterminded Britain's recent success

:14:12. > :14:13.on the track, says it's their "marginal gains"

: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

:19:23. > :19:27.devastated if we were not going on the form of our life here. We just

:22:39. > :22:41.Usain Bolt is always the big attraction at the Olympics. He

:22:42. > :22:46.pretty much ambled through his heat yesterday, it was so casual and so

:22:47. > :22:51.comfortable, classic Usain Bolt, safely through to today's semifinals

:22:52. > :22:56.in style. He's going for his second gold medal of these games, his third

:23:52. > :23:56.quarterfinal when they beat Spain by three goals to one. Tonight, as you

:23:57. > :24:00.say, it is the semifinal against New Zealand, ranked number four in the

:24:01. > :24:03.world. They beat New Zealand in that bronze medal play-off in London

:24:04. > :24:08.2012, if they beat them again tonight they through to the play-off

:24:09. > :24:11.for either gold or silver. That will be better than buttons women's
