0:00:01 > 0:00:06- Gabby!- Hi, Greg. Are you excited? - Yes. So excited. What for?
0:00:06 > 0:00:11- The show, dummy. The one we're going to present now.- What show is that?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- You haven't got a clue, have you? - No idea.- OK.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19- We're doing a show on our incredible summer.- Oh! Sorry. I'm being stupid.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Diamond Jubilee. Queen on the throne, amazing celebration.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24No, no, no, Greg. The Olympics.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I'm going to take you on a journey
0:00:27 > 0:00:31of the top 50 Olympic moments part one.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Fine, brilliant.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37We'll be seeing the most awe-inspiring, incredible moments from London 2012, 50 to 21.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Brilliant but when will I find out about the top 20?
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Oh, that's part two, don't worry about that, we'll be doing 20 to 1.
0:00:44 > 0:00:4620 to 1. What time will that...?
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Don't worry about that. Let's go, we've got a great show. Come on.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Probably one of the best summers I've ever had in my life, man.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56We were so excited.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00What a lovely, overbearing, cuddly uncle Steve Redgrave is.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02There they go.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Who won? Let's look at the screen.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07They said, "Do you want to carry the flag?" I was like, "Why not?"
0:01:07 > 0:01:10The guy gets to hang out with Richard Branson
0:01:10 > 0:01:12and win a ton of gold medals. Do me a favour.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Bolt is a bad man.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- He looks a bit like Zorro. - I watched it in my pyjamas.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20They could have stood on their head for two hours
0:01:20 > 0:01:22and I probably would have been into it.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27- Clare Balding came up with the Mobot.- I invented the Mobot!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Although technically the Village People did.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32By week two, we were going, "What? You got a silver?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34"All right. Doesn't matter."
0:01:34 > 0:01:36It was a history-making moment in the Games.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38A year to be British, really, wasn't it?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41It was that one moment that I dreamed about for so long.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Just the best feeling ever.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And for our first taste of Olympic heaven we're going right back
0:01:48 > 0:01:50to the beginning where it all began.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- What? Ancient Greece?- No, Greg. The Opening Ceremony.- Phew.- Yep.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57It was a chance for the nation to project itself, be bold,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and say, "Hello, world, here we are. We're British and we're proud."
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So what would artistic supremo Danny Boyle come up with?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Oh...yeah.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Mmm. Mr Bean.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Nice sofa, by the way. - Cheers.- Understated. Gold.- Gold.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It was one of the best moments of the Opening Ceremony for me, because
0:02:18 > 0:02:22as a kid, myself and my family used to watch Mr Bean religiously.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Seeing him appear in that Opening Ceremony was
0:02:28 > 0:02:30such a brilliant moment.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34MUSIC: "Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis
0:02:37 > 0:02:41That was hilarious. I mean, he was... He's so clever.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44He's huge in America.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It was something quite amazing.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I didn't get to see much. It was nice, though.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04I'm a massive Mr Bean fan. That guy is so big abroad.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07For like the five minutes that he was on, like,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Boris Johnson wasn't the dopiest guy in the stadium.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16And you could see on Twitter people going, "This is all right!
0:03:16 > 0:03:18"Oh, this is actually quite good, like!"
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Of course it was going to be good!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23MUSIC: "Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis
0:03:33 > 0:03:37LAUGHTER
0:03:43 > 0:03:44FART
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Once the applause for the opening ceremony had died down
0:03:47 > 0:03:50and competition started, the British public wanted medals.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Michael Jamieson's totally unexpected silver in the pool
0:03:54 > 0:03:57earns him a place at 49.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Some people we expect to win, or we hope
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and see them as being gold medallists at the Olympic Games.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05But then when someone can step up
0:04:05 > 0:04:07and be able to produce a performance where they go,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11"No, no, I'm really happy that I was able to achieve this result as well,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13"this was great."
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Michael Jamieson from Glasgow and Great Britain
0:04:15 > 0:04:19is coming back at the world champion in 5.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Honestly, I mean, it was such a good swim.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24And there was a moment or two
0:04:24 > 0:04:26when you thought he might actually win gold,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28and he just came back so strongly.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Jamieson in 4.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Gyurta in 5, it's going to be Gyurta, I think.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Gyurta wins the gold. It's a fantastic silver medal
0:04:34 > 0:04:36for Great Britain.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I think he's a really impressive guy.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Impressive, huh?- Very. What type of swimming was that again?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Breaststroke. - HE SNIGGERS
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Really?!- Well, you know.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52OK. Now we've established your level of humour,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55you're really going to enjoy this next clip.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- What, is it boobs?- No. People falling over and stuff.- Oh! Even better!
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Bring it on.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Oh!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07She's going to be devastated.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09That's a bad one.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Oh, gosh. Oh, that's come down, now we're hoping he's all right.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22And that's a ridiculous foul.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Elbow to the throat, that's going to hurt anybody.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26He also got a knee middle stump.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Bad crash!
0:05:31 > 0:05:33If one rider goes down, they all come down.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Just like a bunch of skittles.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Oh, and that was a great shame.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- No, that's gone horribly wrong. I hope she's all right.- Ouch!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56But at number 48 is another pole vaulter. This one went snap.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I was there for the pole vaulter. That was an extraordinary thing.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Borges of Cuba. We saw how well his woman team-mate did.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Oh, my God!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Oh, OK. I could absolutely kill myself on this.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12If you're designing a piece of sporting equipment,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14surely number one on the list is it has to be able
0:06:14 > 0:06:17to complete the sport without snapping in three places.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Oh, dear me.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21He's Cuban, you know. They don't travel first class.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Can you imagine the charges on a low-cost airline,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27how much that cost? He's looked after it all the way round.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30He's got round the carousel without breaking!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32And the first time he uses it...!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Gee whizz.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Parents can be embarrassing at the best of times, but can you imagine
0:06:41 > 0:06:45being an Olympic athlete and having your mum present you with a medal?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Oh, Mum!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I suppose one of the more surreal moments of the Olympics was
0:06:49 > 0:06:54our eventing team, who won silver, which included Zara Phillips,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57were presented with their medals by the Princess Royal,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59who obviously is Zara's mother.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03There aren't many people at an Olympic Games who are going to have
0:07:03 > 0:07:05their medal presented to them by their mother.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Yes, how good to see.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I wouldn't mind getting a medal off my mum.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Getting it off my grandma would be weird.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15She's a very old-fashioned West Indian lady.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17"Take it, boy, take it, take it.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20"If you mess up, me taking it back."
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I love Zara. She is so down to earth,
0:07:23 > 0:07:27she's so funny. She works so hard.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28And God, she's good.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Zara Phillips has produced the goods.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33The only medal I think
0:07:33 > 0:07:35my mum would be able to award me is for lasagne.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37But I'll take that.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43She sounds like a glamour model, she won four golds,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45and her nickname is The Missile.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48If Michael Phelps was a woman, he'd be Missy Franklin.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You know what I mean.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Ever since I came out of the womb I have been like in love with water.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Everyone comes out of the womb ready to swim. You've just been in liquid.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03# Holla! #
0:08:03 > 0:08:06She is as mad as a box of frogs.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10She's six foot one, she is completely nuts,
0:08:10 > 0:08:11but she knows how to swim.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16The world record is 2 minutes 4.81, it was Kirsty Coventry's,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19now it's Missy Franklin's. Look at that.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Very impressive from a great young lady.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I just don't know why the Americans can't go by their usual name.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Missy the Missile.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32OK, Greg. What two things do you think you would get
0:08:32 > 0:08:35if you won an Olympic gold in the javelin?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39The mother of all drugs tests, and probably a sore shoulder from that...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Quite a force, isn't it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Terrible technique.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45After winning gold, Keshorn Walcott
0:08:45 > 0:08:48from Trinidad and Tobago got the most bizarre gifts.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52What did they give him?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- A wife?- A million dollars?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's going to be something nuts. Out of the ordinary, innit?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Two wives?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's already got an "and" in the name.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Did they just put his name in Trinidad and Tobago and Walcott?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07HE LAUGHS
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Harem? I don't know.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12The people in Britain, the gold medallists were getting postboxes.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Sure it wasn't a wife?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17A lighthouse? That's brilliant. It's a lighthouse.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20That's fantastic. A lighthouse.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24I think that's pretty cool. I think we get a pat on the back.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Like if you're a man whose whole entire thing is to span
0:09:26 > 0:09:29great distances with one flick, stick him in a lighthouse?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Is it because it looks slightly like a javelin?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39An 80-year-old pensioner sent me £10 in the post for winning.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41He didn't leave his name or address
0:09:41 > 0:09:44so I haven't been able to reply back,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46but I'd just like to say thank you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51OK, at number 44 we have an Olympic event
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I'm sure even you took an interest in.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Beach volleyball. Am I right? - You are right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I went down to Horse Guards Parade to have a look.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Really? Did you enjoy it? - I did. I mean, what's not to love?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04People in swimsuits in a massive sandpit
0:10:04 > 0:10:07in the Queen's back garden. It was amazing.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Did I see the beach volleyball?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Come on, you're going to ask me, a straight man, that? Of course!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Sexually very exciting.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Some of those guys - phew.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31There's nothing sexy about Horse Guards Parade.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Horse Guards Parade is usually something that is the complete
0:10:34 > 0:10:36opposite end of sexy.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39The beach volleyball, the setting for that.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I imagine if you were a tourist coming to London, you went,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44"Well, this couldn't be done any better."
0:10:46 > 0:10:49For me, it's surprising to sort of see this atmosphere,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52like totally crazed. I said, man, I fit right in here.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57And the players, I mean, to have a bum like that.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Please, Santa. That would be amazing.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04But the unarguable queens of the block, set and spike in 2012
0:11:04 > 0:11:05were these two.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08In at number 44 in our list it's Misty May-Treanor
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and her pregnant playing partner Kerri Walsh Jennings,
0:11:11 > 0:11:12who came out of retirement
0:11:12 > 0:11:15to win their third successive gold in the beach volleyball.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21I can't believe that Kerri Walsh Jennings was five weeks pregnant
0:11:21 > 0:11:25when she won gold at volleyball. When I was five weeks pregnant,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I was eating Nutella out of a jar on the sofa.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36The 2012 Olympics had a sticky start.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Question - how do you wind up a team from North Korea?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Answer - introduce them under the South Korean flag.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45That was brilliant. Of all the countries to muddle up,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49North Korea and South Korea couldn't be more of a tense relationship.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51The only possible worst thing
0:11:51 > 0:11:53could've been to muddle up England and Scotland.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55The great thing about the North Koreans
0:11:55 > 0:11:58is they've got a brilliant sense of humour.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00They're very upbeat, very light about stuff.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01They won't have minded that.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Turning round and getting the flag wrong was a massive faux pas.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08And the fact that they came out an hour and a half late
0:12:08 > 0:12:11and played the game, we should be thankful they even did that at all.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I did think they were going to start to test launch
0:12:13 > 0:12:18some of the players from the stands in a threatening sign.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21But it was South Korean fencer Shin A-Lam
0:12:21 > 0:12:24who provided one of the most controversial moments of the Games.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Her sit-in protest, which lasted over an hour
0:12:26 > 0:12:30after losing her semifinal, earned her a spot at number 43 on our list.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33She just missed out on a place in the final,
0:12:33 > 0:12:34and she didn't take it well.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38MUSIC: "So Ronery" from Team America
0:12:53 > 0:12:56When I watched it, I thought, she's being a bit mardy.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Then I realised, she's not.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02She's so disciplined, so focused, so angry at herself that she
0:13:02 > 0:13:05didn't get to the final, she's put herself on the naughty step.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08MUSIC: "So Ronery" from Team America
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Poor girl. Everybody else had gone home.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Gymnastics provided London 2012 with some of the most spectacular
0:13:30 > 0:13:33sporting moments, and it was Dutch high-bar specialist Epke Zonderland
0:13:33 > 0:13:35whose gold-medal winning routine
0:13:35 > 0:13:38blew the roof off the North Greenwich Arena.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Zonderland is on track. There is the rybalko, a little bit wild.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Now then. Another biggie coming up now. Half turn.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47He's got to go over the top again.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51He's caught that too and he's rescued the swing.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55He's putting all his money on the 7.9 difficulty.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58He cannot afford to move on that dismount.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01He's got to stand with glue on his feet.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Here it comes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04And that's a cracker!
0:14:06 > 0:14:09He should be named Wonderland. It was just incredible.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I was told, "He is magnificent,"
0:14:11 > 0:14:18but I never imagined that it would be as spectacular as it was.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21But it was the women's uneven bar competition
0:14:21 > 0:14:24that GB rested their hopes on a 27-year-old from Cheshire.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Step forward Britain's most decorated gymnast of all time
0:14:27 > 0:14:29with her last shot at Olympic glory.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32At number 42, it's the darling of British gymnastics,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Miss Elizabeth Kimberly Tweddle.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38It was so fantastic to see Beth Tweddle. I was so excited.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I took my little girl to the North Greenwich Arena,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42and Beth was amazing.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Super full pirouette into the markelov, into the ginga,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48caught beautifully.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52The Olympic medal was the only thing missing from her
0:14:52 > 0:14:54sort of trophy cabinet.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56She was devastated finishing fourth in Beijing,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59where she was expected to get a medal.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02This was going to be her last chance, London 2012,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04to ever win an Olympic medal.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06You know, was this the year, could she do it?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08She hung on and on, and, and really, you know,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10if she got a medal in Beijing,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13she wouldn't be still doing gymnastics.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16So she hung on for that extra four years just to try
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and get her hands on that medal.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Kicks strong. Lifts up, two twists.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Big step back. But she saved it.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26It was a big step.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29So as she is flying through the air people are just waiting
0:15:29 > 0:15:32with bated breath to see her land on two feet.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35And it looked like she was going to end up on her behind,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37but she rescued it.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Great Britain's Beth Tweddle has a bronze medal.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41That has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I don't know why I said it, or where it came from,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46but it had a ring to it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Sorry, Beth. I really am sorry.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52She was brilliant, and it was breathtaking.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54The competition was so, so high,
0:15:54 > 0:15:58and it was just so wonderful to see her finally get an Olympic medal.
0:15:58 > 0:16:04She put in a spectacular performance on the bars,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08and for her to finally get the one thing that was missing,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10an Olympic medal, was a great ending
0:16:10 > 0:16:14to a great athlete with an outstanding career.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Beth Tweddle. Is that her real name?- Of course it is. Why?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I thought it was more like a move. Like the Tweddle.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- I'm pretty sure Tweddling is not a discipline.- You know what?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- I'm learning a lot.- Good.- I'm really enjoying this Olympics malarkey.
0:16:30 > 0:16:36- I really like it. Can I introduce the next clip?- Don't mess it up.- Yeah?
0:16:36 > 0:16:41I won't. Right. Here are some really fast rooners. Runners.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Brilliant.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46US sprinters had their work cut out against a formidable Jamaican
0:16:46 > 0:16:50team, but American sprinter Allyson Felix bagged three golds,
0:16:50 > 0:16:55which is the most a female track athlete has won since 1988.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57But it was a Jamaican girl with far too many names
0:16:57 > 0:16:59who was crowned the fastest woman on the planet.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Number 41 on our list is Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05It was too long, hearing a commentator...
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Surely he could just call her Prycey.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11But then we'd just think of Katie Price, that would be weird.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I wonder if she's a fast runner?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Jetta is away well but so is Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21And Ahoure is going well from the Ivory Coast.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Here comes Carmelita Jetta.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is going to retain her title.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28She's a great person.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I've known her from high school age, I've seen her work,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I've seen her progress through the years.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36So she's a very hard worker and she's dedicated
0:17:36 > 0:17:39and she's shown the world that she can dominate also.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I think in Jamaica they must put something in the water
0:17:42 > 0:17:45where you drink it and become an Olympic champion.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I was like, what is going on? Why is everyone Jamaican?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53They're all winning gold medals.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57But she's got power that is deceiving,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59and I don't think most people realise that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I mean, her start is very, very powerful.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05She's a great athlete to watch.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13To me, it's like he did it on purpose for comedy.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- It's like a comedy fall. - There are certain moments
0:18:16 > 0:18:19that you just go, "That's going in a montage."
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And his name! He's called Feck.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24It's like, you know, you can imagine the headlines already, can't you?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Brilliant.- German Stefan Feck wants to get on with it.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Forward three-and-a-half.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Oh! Here you go. The first calamity.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Is he really a diver?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Are we sure that he's an Olympic-level diver?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41That needs to be down a leisure centre in Liverpool, that does.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44That does not belong at the Olympic Games.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45He should have got out of the pool,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48looked at his scores and gone, "What?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52"No. I think you'll find I was trying to land on my back.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53"No-one else is doing it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56"The problem with the diving world is you're too stuck in your ways
0:18:56 > 0:18:58"with this 'going straight in head first' thing.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59"Mix it up a bit. Come on!"
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The commentators can always tell whether it's really good
0:19:02 > 0:19:05or not quite good, but to us I think it always looks brilliant.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But even I could say that that was really, really bad.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Stefan Feck well and truly fecked it up.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18So we've had a mime artist, Royals, Koreans,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20and even a lighthouse. What's next?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22How about a massive inflatable octopus,
0:19:22 > 0:19:27a Python fired out of a cannon, and five mums dancing on top of cabs?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It's the closing ceremony.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33It was an absolute knees-up, the closing ceremony.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I got out of my seat and I was dancing.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I went to see the closing ceremony.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I really enjoyed the closing ceremony.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I thought, "I like this, it's all right."
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I was absolutely brilliant. We had such a fantastic time.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47We got to go to this incredible party
0:19:47 > 0:19:51just after the greatest Olympics that have ever been hosted.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I was really pleased to be part of the ceremony
0:19:53 > 0:19:56and actually be in the arena, so I loved it.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00At number 39 in our list, taxi for Spice Girls.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Closing ceremony, time is running out. Bring on the Spice Girls.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I can leave the second most watched event in the Olympics was
0:20:11 > 0:20:14the Spice Girls in the closing ceremony.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Who do they think they are? That's an actual joke for you.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Without a doubt my favourite moment of the Olympics,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28seeing Mel B back in a catsuit. Boom!
0:20:28 > 0:20:31When we saw all the artists' impressions of how it was
0:20:31 > 0:20:34going to look, we were blown away. It was so exciting.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38There was a guy in front of me from Canada who literally turned
0:20:38 > 0:20:42round and said to me, "This is what the Games is all about.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45"I have waited for this moment just to see the Spice Girls."
0:20:49 > 0:20:52They brought something quite sexy back to the Olympics.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56I bet Victoria Pendleton was sitting somewhere going, "Oh, Spice Girls."
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I remember when I was a kid I used to have a crush on her.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Just the whole, the Union Jack dress,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09all the guys in the school were like, "Geri is fit."
0:21:09 > 0:21:13And then I saw her and I was like, "What was I thinking?"
0:21:13 > 0:21:15No offence, Geri.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Damn.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It was quite close to the Games, really, when we were approached.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23It was all a bit last-minute. But we were so excited.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25And had the most incredible time.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Whoever you were with, wherever you were,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31you were just walking about with people just shaking their hands
0:21:31 > 0:21:36and thinking, you know what, thank you very much, Olympians.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37And thank you, the Spice Girls.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Not even the Spice Girls like the Spice Girls any more.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Fair point.- Did you see them on top of those taxis? Embarrassing.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Well, look. Here's someone who is lucky enough
0:21:47 > 0:21:49to be too young to remember the Spice Girls.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52A 15-year-old who made one hell of a splash in the pool.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Zig-a-zig... Eurgh!
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Teenager Ruta Meilutyte, from the same school as Tom Daley,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00won Lithuania's first ever Olympic gold in swimming.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04But it was a girl from China whose achievements raised a few eyebrows.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Number 38 on the list is a fantastic young swimmer
0:22:07 > 0:22:09who no-one had ever heard of.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11The girl, Ye Shiwen, who won,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14smashed the time, she was beating, like,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16men's times, in the medley and things like that.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19And it was brilliant because as soon as she won it everyone said,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23"Ah, well, it's drugs, isn't it? Obviously it's drugs.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25"Got to be drugs, hasn't it?" But she wasn't.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28You know what? She was just brilliant.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I think the thing is, with 1.2 billion people in China,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35you are going to find someone as good as Michael Phelps
0:22:35 > 0:22:38at some point. Because they've got the numbers.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41If it was an athlete from Team GB who dropped the same
0:22:41 > 0:22:43amount of time, people wouldn't be quick to criticise.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Ye Shiwen, the 16-year-old Chinese woman, utterly extraordinary.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- Unbelievable.- And the suspicion of, over there, they may be doing that.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And that wasn't fair.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57So wrong that the first thing we think is she's cheating.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Know what I mean? She's cheating. She wasn't. She was just brilliant.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Either that or she was like Inspector Gadget
0:23:03 > 0:23:06and she had motors on her feet. Maybe that's what they were doing.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08If you thought there were surprises in the pool,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10there were more to come at Eton Dorney.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Kat Copeland and Sophie Hosking gasped in sheer disbelief
0:23:13 > 0:23:16on crossing the line for gold in the lightweight double sculls.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18A great achievement.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But at number 37 are couple of guys who have won the place not for
0:23:21 > 0:23:25winning gold but for nearly killing themselves trying to win a medal.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- But Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter got off to a terrible start.- Oh, no!
0:23:29 > 0:23:32They've stopped! They've absolutely stopped. What's happened there?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34His seat broke. OK.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We thought they would get a second shot, because it would be
0:23:37 > 0:23:41a brave judge who would say at the London Olympics that the British
0:23:41 > 0:23:43defending champions would not be allowed to defend their title.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47For the second time now in this Olympic final, Great Britain
0:23:47 > 0:23:49are away in lane number six.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51It was drama with a small D at the start
0:23:51 > 0:23:54but it was drama with a capital D at the end.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58And now, Denmark just sneaking ahead of Great Britain.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00The one last try.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04It is Denmark for the Olympic gold, it is Great Britain for the silver.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07You've got to hand it to them, credit their determination,
0:24:07 > 0:24:12their guts to give it their all, and certainly we saw it on TV
0:24:12 > 0:24:16and first-hand that they didn't have anything else to give.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18You get home at the end of the day and say you're tired.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Are you really tired? Could you not really do another hour or so?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25You can always give more. These guys couldn't give any more at all.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26They were spent.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Totally, physically, mentally, emotionally, traumatically spent.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Sorry to everybody we've let down.- You've let nobody down.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39After the year that you guys have had, you've let nobody down at all.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Emotions, emotions, goodness me.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Especially when you know these people, and know them pretty well.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48It's quite hot being here as well.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53I did cry. I cried a lot more once we'd handed to the next race.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00That did choke me. That did choke me, the tears from John.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05He comes across as sort of a hardened journalist in some ways,
0:25:05 > 0:25:09enjoys his sport, but to see that emotion when Zac
0:25:09 > 0:25:13and Mark finished and apologising to everybody,
0:25:13 > 0:25:19of what bad result they had, that being a silver medal.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23But I didn't expect John to have the same response as he did there,
0:25:23 > 0:25:24from that point of view.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Oh. I would love a cuddle from John Inverdale.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Along with your medal, I suppose, the other thing you also got
0:25:31 > 0:25:34was the complementary hug from Steve Redgrave.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36It was almost like everybody that came out of the boat,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39he just wanted to give them a hug.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43You know, because he's an expert, and obviously a great Olympian,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45but he's also their friend.
0:25:45 > 0:25:52# Hold me close, don't let me go, oh, no... #
0:25:52 > 0:25:55He was such a rock, Steve was. He was amazing at the rowing.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07I had to hug Dara, which I thought was quite unusual at the time.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08It wasn't quite what I was expecting.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I said, "You hug everybody.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12"You spent the entire Olympics hugging people.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13"Where is my hug?"
0:26:13 > 0:26:18When I look back at the Games, of any time I was seen on TV, it was
0:26:18 > 0:26:21probably hugging somebody over some sort of great achievement.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24So it probably wasn't a bad role to have.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27So emotional, Zac and Mark.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32- Really, really moving. - Can I get a hug?- No.- Sure.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Believe it or not, I can actually remember the next guy.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40This is Robert Harting. He's number 36 and he was the biathlete...
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- No.- Yeah, yeah. Discus guy. - Yeah. Gold medal winning discus.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Then did the hurdles. But embarrassed himself, like, shouldn't have bothered.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- That was his celebration! - What do you mean?
0:26:51 > 0:26:52That's like someone going, "I've just done the diving,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55"I'll pole-vault back up to the board." Why would you do that?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Robert Harting, it's ironic that his name sounds almost English,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06because where I grew up, in Essex,
0:27:06 > 0:27:12his behaviour was just standard Southend, Westcliff behaviour.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13He's a beast.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19He went all over the hurdles, didn't he? His name is Harting.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I remember it was obviously very difficult for the commentator
0:27:21 > 0:27:25at the time to say, "Harting, hurdling." Not an easy thing to say,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28and not an easy thing to do when you're his size, I imagine.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30He stripped off his top and started running a little bit of hurdles.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34You could see the hurdlers going, "No!" Cos he's a massive guy.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37He just showed us that big men can jump.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40It would be amusing if he just casually beat the Olympic hurdles record.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Like if I had just won a medal, I wouldn't be able to then
0:27:43 > 0:27:47compete another sport, unless the sport was hysterical crying.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49And collapsing and peeing my pants.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Robert Harting, the Olympic discus champion.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54What a lad. Legend.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58From a hurdling hulk to a right bunch of shuttlecocks,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00it was double troubles at the badminton.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Number 35 on our list sees some of the best badminton players
0:28:03 > 0:28:05in the world throwing their match in order to avoid
0:28:05 > 0:28:09playing the number one seeds in the knockout stages.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12The bizarre practice of people playing badminton and trying to lose
0:28:12 > 0:28:16so they didn't face the favourites in the next round. Brilliant.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20I don't know badminton, I must say, I'm not a big badminton follower.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23But I just thought that just tarnished the whole thing.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Not only what they did, but the way it was handled.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29It was so obvious they weren't trying, as well.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It was obvious. Hitting it into the net, doing rubbish serves
0:28:32 > 0:28:35and that sort of thing. It was a doubles game - one of them was at
0:28:35 > 0:28:39the vending machine in the leisure centre reception, getting a Twix.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- BOOING - They're serving fault after fault.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Just hitting the ball straight in the net.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47The scandal led to 8 women, including the world champions,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50being disqualified for this very un-Olympic behaviour.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Depressing. I mean, who wants to sit through something like that?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- It is unacceptable. - Well said, Lord Coe.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Now, how's about this -
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Hamadou Djibo Issaka from Niger amazingly only took up rowing
0:29:05 > 0:29:07three months before the Olympics.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09He did all his training in a fishing boat.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12And despite coming last in the single sculls,
0:29:12 > 0:29:14almost two minutes slower than gold medallist Mahe Drysdale,
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Issaka the Otter, as he was called, got a thunderous reception.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Now, only doing your chosen sport for three months may be taking it
0:29:21 > 0:29:23a bit far, but Briton Anthony Joshua
0:29:23 > 0:29:28was only boxing for four years before the Olympics and he did OK.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30In fact, he did very, very OK.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34I was bored out of my head.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37I was in London, no friends, no community,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I'd left all that in Watford.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43My cousin, he was training, and he took me down the gym with him
0:29:43 > 0:29:45and I just sat in and watched him.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Half of the time I was on my BlackBerry, half the time
0:29:48 > 0:29:51I was watching him on the bags and he just told me to get involved.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53I said yeah, I'll get involved.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55He just strolled in and went, "I might box, I might not."
0:29:55 > 0:29:57And someone went, "Do you want to box, then?"
0:29:57 > 0:29:59He went, "Yeah, all right!" Crack! And won.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03When I was watching the fight with him and the Italian guy
0:30:03 > 0:30:07I was like, "If that was my husband or my boyfriend, I would be so scared."
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Good rally from Joshua, rousing reception from the crowd.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15It was pretty impressive and at times you thought that the Italian was coming, you know?
0:30:15 > 0:30:19And then he just... It was great. It was great.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22You have a million thoughts running through your head
0:30:22 > 0:30:24when you're competing, so I just said,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27"I'm going to walk out of the ring with my head held high,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30"my chest out and I'm going to do the nation proud."
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- COMMENTAOR:- And as the closing bell sounds,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Anthony Joshua raises his hands immediately.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- An Olympic superheavyweight champion in the blue corner... - CROWD ROARS
0:30:39 > 0:30:43..representing Great Britain, Anthony Joshua.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48You know, I wasn't number one pick for the Olympics
0:30:48 > 0:30:50so I had to fight my way to be number one pick
0:30:50 > 0:30:53in Great Britain then fight my way through the qualification
0:30:53 > 0:30:57then fight my way to an Olympic gold so it was like relief, man.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59It's been a tough journey.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05From punching people to kicking people, and it's another gold medal.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Aged just eight, a Welsh girl was introduced to tae kwon do by her grandad.
0:31:09 > 0:31:1211 years later and she's winning gold at her home Olympics.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16On Twitter she says that she kicks people in the head for living and she loves it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22At number 33 it's the inspirational teenager, Jade Jones.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25It was one of those sports that maybe people every week don't watch,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28but during the Olympics it was just special,
0:31:28 > 0:31:30it came to life and everyone wanted to learn the rules
0:31:30 > 0:31:32and how many points you get for this and that.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37Jade Jones is one of my massive superheroines now.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42She is as close to Street Fighter's Chun Li as we're ever going to get.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44She is amazing.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I spent a lot of time in the velodrome
0:31:46 > 0:31:49and I watched a lot of gold medals in the velodrome
0:31:49 > 0:31:55but half of that amount of people inside the little room in the Excel Arena made double the noise.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57CROWD ROARS
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- COMMENTATOR:- You little beauty!
0:31:59 > 0:32:02As soon as she won, the helmet went up in the air,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04the hair came flowing down.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08She then did a lap of honour and then she got the Welsh flag in one hand,
0:32:08 > 0:32:12I'm pretty sure, a Union Jack in the other and round she went again
0:32:12 > 0:32:14and nobody was going home until she finished.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- Jade Jones, Olympic champion. - There you go.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Jade there proving that if you're good enough, you're old enough.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Yeah, and on the same note, Greg,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25check out 71-year-old Hiroshi Hoketsu here
0:32:25 > 0:32:28proving if you're good enough, you're young enough.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Did you know, he first competed in the Games in 1964?- 1964?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35That's like...ancient Greece.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Did you go to school?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40So, from our youngest gold medallist to our oldest
0:32:40 > 0:32:41in the shape of Nick Skelton,
0:32:41 > 0:32:46a member of Britain's first showjumping team to take gold in 60 years.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Oh... Sorry, yeah. 60...
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Ancient. Yeah.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56I actually thought that they had lost their chance of winning gold
0:32:56 > 0:32:58and then the Dutch made couple of mistakes
0:32:58 > 0:33:01and it came down to a jump-off situation.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08My image of athletes at the Olympics is the lithe twenty-somethings.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11You know, "We train hard and then we party hard."
0:33:11 > 0:33:13And then these people looked like
0:33:13 > 0:33:15they just walked from a Round Table meeting.
0:33:15 > 0:33:22- COMMENTATOR:- This could be the first gold for Great Britain since 1952.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24And Britain have got the gold!
0:33:24 > 0:33:28I was trying really hard to keep a grip because, you know,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31you try to cover these things professionally, but, of course,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I know the riders really well and Nick Skelton in particular.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38He's 54 years old, he's been trying to win an Olympic medal since 1980.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Nick Skelton, you have an Olympic gold medal.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Took me 54 years.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It's taken Great Britain 60.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Yeah, I'm speechless. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
0:33:48 > 0:33:55I think it was the crowning glory of a career that has been sensational.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58People were tweeting me and e-mailing me afterwards saying,
0:33:58 > 0:34:01"Nick Skelton? I had posters of Nick Skelton when I was at school,"
0:34:01 > 0:34:04and these are women in their 50s. Yeah, you did,
0:34:04 > 0:34:09because he was your pin-up in 1980 and here we are in 2012
0:34:09 > 0:34:12and he's the star performer in the showjumping team that wins gold.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14It's pretty amazing, isn't it?
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Absolutely brilliant.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Great for the country and great for our sport. Taken all these years.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Unfortunately, for every high at the Olympics there's also a low.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Euan Burton here getting knocked out of the judo in the very first round.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Can you take any positives from this experience at all?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37No, none. None whatsoever.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39I feel like I've let myself down a bit,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42let my mum and dad and my brother down.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48I've been working for this for over a quarter of a century.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50I'm pretty sure you won't see me in Rio,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52so no, there's no positives to be taken from it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Poor Euan. There was arguably more pressure on Mark Cavendish
0:34:56 > 0:34:59who was carrying the dreams of a nation on day one of the Olympics.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01He was the favourite to win the men's road race
0:35:01 > 0:35:04and kick-start Team GB's gold rush.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08I left Eton Dorney, ran to get on a bus, to get a taxi
0:35:08 > 0:35:12to just somewhere beyond the route because I wanted to be there
0:35:12 > 0:35:15cos, you know, Cavendish was bound to win gold.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17This was the big start of the Olympic Games, you know?
0:35:17 > 0:35:20This was the guy who helped Bradley Wiggins to win the yellow jersey
0:35:20 > 0:35:23at the Tour de France, it was a man whose Olympic dream
0:35:23 > 0:35:27had been blown away four years earlier in Beijing. This was the moment.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I can't remember how many miles from the finish I was but I wasn't
0:35:30 > 0:35:32that far from the finish, expecting to see Mark Cavendish go...
0:35:32 > 0:35:36And then everyone was saying, "He's not going to win. He's not going to win."
0:35:36 > 0:35:39To see Mark Cavendish come over the line where he did, he was distraught.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42It was probably the biggest shock of the Games, actually.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45And a shame that it came on the first day.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47But Cav's spirits were lifted when he joined Jake
0:35:47 > 0:35:50and the rest of the BBC team to commentate at the velodrome.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51To be honest with you,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54I just did it so I could go in the velodrome and watch the riders.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56I had tried hard for a whole couple of weeks
0:35:56 > 0:35:59to hold back my true feelings for Mark Cavendish
0:35:59 > 0:36:00and I just couldn't do it any longer.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03They had this camera roving around finding couples
0:36:03 > 0:36:05and they kept focusing on our commentary box
0:36:05 > 0:36:08and the crowd were going, "Kiss, kiss, kiss," so I thought,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11"What the hell, I'll plant a little kiss on Mark Cavendish's forehead."
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I thought that that was only being seen by the people
0:36:13 > 0:36:15in the velodrome on the big screen
0:36:15 > 0:36:17and as I lent in, out of the corner of my eye
0:36:17 > 0:36:21I could see the BBC One feed and I was like,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23"Ah. I've just kissed him live on BBC One,"
0:36:23 > 0:36:26and sat back thinking, "What did I do there?"
0:36:26 > 0:36:30I think he just liked my aftershave, actually, so...
0:36:30 > 0:36:31You've got to feel sorry for Cav,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34one of our greatest ever cyclists and still no Olympic medal -
0:36:34 > 0:36:37just a kiss from Jake Humphrey to show for his efforts.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40The country continued to hold its collective breath for a medal
0:36:40 > 0:36:44and day two delivered in typical British conditions.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Here's Britain's Lizzie Armitstead
0:36:46 > 0:36:50going for gold in the women's road race. She's in at number 31.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52For anyone who's seen The One Show,
0:36:52 > 0:36:54they'll know that I've spent a bit of time
0:36:54 > 0:36:57pedalling through the most horrendous weather
0:36:57 > 0:37:00that Britain can throw at a cyclist
0:37:00 > 0:37:03and so I did feel for Lizzie Armitstead
0:37:03 > 0:37:05on that day of the road race.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- COMMENTATOR:- Courage is the order of the day
0:37:07 > 0:37:10and these three are going back to the well
0:37:10 > 0:37:11to find more of that courage.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I mean, that added to the drama. It really did.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17I thought the last half mile of that race was just fantastic.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19To see the way she rode for that last 50k
0:37:19 > 0:37:21with about three or four girls away
0:37:21 > 0:37:23and then to not quite get there at the end
0:37:23 > 0:37:26but still to come away with a silver medal in the road race,
0:37:26 > 0:37:28which is probably the hardest race to win in the Olympics.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- COMMENTATOR:- Armitstead's trying to get up on the side of Voss.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34They're gritting their teeth, both riders looking for the line.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Where's the gold medal going to go?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Voss takes gold and Armitstead takes silver.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43It was nice to watch that and see the results, you know?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46To see her get a medal. Yeah, it was nice.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49She was the first medallist, she'd relaxed us all
0:37:49 > 0:37:52and she was like, you know, "I'm king of the athletes in Britain,"
0:37:52 > 0:37:56for about 12 hours and then everybody forgot about her.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57It was tight.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04London 2012 will go down in history for being the Olympic Games
0:38:04 > 0:38:07that saw women from oppressed nations competing on the world stage.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Qatar
0:38:10 > 0:38:13had female representation for the first time.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16They didn't do very well, but that didn't matter -
0:38:16 > 0:38:20that wasn't the point, as Sarah Attar from Saudi Arabia proved.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24There were so many fantastic women in the Olympics this year.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26It was very much the Olympics of Girl Power.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30To have a female contender from every single country competing
0:38:30 > 0:38:33involved was an amazing achievement.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Previously the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee
0:38:35 > 0:38:38had banned female athletes from competing at the Games.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Despite finishing more than half a minute slower
0:38:40 > 0:38:43than the nearest athlete, thousands of spectators
0:38:43 > 0:38:47stood and applauded Attar as she crossed the finish line.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50That is a step forward for women's athletics.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53As was talked about so much with this Games,
0:38:53 > 0:38:57it's the legacy, you know, and inspiring a generation
0:38:57 > 0:39:01and I absolutely think that has happened without a doubt.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Well, a bit of history being made there.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06The first Saudi Arabian female athlete.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08I think it's had a huge impact.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11I think firstly it's made women from the UK
0:39:11 > 0:39:13realise how free we are here,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17but I think around the world it's made us realise
0:39:17 > 0:39:20that there are so many women who don't have that freedom
0:39:20 > 0:39:22and that that's not OK.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Now, Greg. I bet you don't know what it took for Britain's Pete Wilson
0:39:26 > 0:39:28to win his gold medal in the shooting.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Right, I'm going to work it out. OK. Steady hands.- Yeah.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- Absolute precision.- Yeah, OK.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- Nerves of steel.- Yeah. - Oh! Ah-ah - earmuffs!
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- No, no, no.- It's loud, isn't it? - No, you're not going to get it.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Is it an outrageously rich sheik from Dubai?
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Yes! How did you get that?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Just a lucky guess, I suppose.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49I lost my funding in 2008.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Ahmad was an Olympic gold medallist from 2004
0:39:52 > 0:39:55and so this guy is a legend. I just thought,
0:39:55 > 0:39:57"I might as well approach Ahmad."
0:39:57 > 0:39:59He was the one shooter who I really respected
0:39:59 > 0:40:01in the world of double trap and I thought, "What do I lose?"
0:40:01 > 0:40:05You know, "Hey, he's a Prince, but he's also an Olympic gold medallist
0:40:05 > 0:40:07"and if I ask, you never know - I might get."
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Not the normal story for an Olympian.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Peter Wilson came from nowhere.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Maybe within shooting they knew he had a chance,
0:40:13 > 0:40:15but it was quite an open tournament.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20Ten shots left for Wilson of Great Britain and a four-shot lead.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Four targets over second place
0:40:23 > 0:40:26with ten targets left to go was incredible.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29I mean, as far as I was concerned that was it, you know?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31This was my moment.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36I put the gun in my shoulder. I wasn't even thinking straight.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Called pull, bang, bang, miss, miss.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- COMMENTATOR:- Oh, and he's missed them both.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43I couldn't believe that I was about to throw away this opportunity.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45And it's a terrifying feeling.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Absolutely incredible.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50So his lead has been cut from four to two. It's been halved.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54You can either go on to miss more or you go on and hit the rest
0:40:54 > 0:40:57and I went on to peg two, peg three, peg four
0:40:57 > 0:40:59and I hit three pairs.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Here you are, one pair to win gold in London 2012.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08Peter Wilson needs these targets to win gold for Great Britain.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13And he does it - Peter Wilson has done it! He has won gold!
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I had so hoped to turn, finger raised at the crowd,
0:41:16 > 0:41:17looking suave, looking cool,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20but, no, it wasn't to be and I went - bang, bang -
0:41:20 > 0:41:23dropped to my knees, cried like a baby and I'll never forget it
0:41:23 > 0:41:26and I'll probably never play it down for the rest of my life.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29He wins and he falls to his knees and his dad runs on.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Dad!
0:41:30 > 0:41:34'I just couldn't believe I'd seen the old man come bounding through
0:41:34 > 0:41:37'and I was able to give him a hug and it was very, very special.'
0:41:43 > 0:41:46How do you follow in the footsteps of two knights of the realm,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49the Olympic icons Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent?
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Well, the men's coxless four had their work cut out.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53They may have started as favourites,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56but anything less than gold would have spelt failure.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Remember - GB have won this blue riband event
0:41:58 > 0:42:00for the past three Olympics.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05That's pressure. At number 28, it's the awesome foursome oarsmen.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07The guys did fantastically well.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- COMMENTATOR:- The British four are going to defend their Olympic title
0:42:10 > 0:42:12and they are doing it in such style.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15There wasn't any to-ing and fro-ing, we just inched and inched
0:42:15 > 0:42:17and inched and inched through the whole race.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20It was textbook stuff and that was actually the plan.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24We have done it! We have done it and we have done it in style!
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Great Britain, the Olympic champions!
0:42:26 > 0:42:29We only won by a little bit. If it had been less than perfect
0:42:29 > 0:42:32then we would be coming home with silver medals
0:42:32 > 0:42:35and nobody in the country wanted that from the British four.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Commander of the loveboat Pete Reed earning his second
0:42:38 > 0:42:41consecutive gold medal at London then got down on one knee
0:42:41 > 0:42:44at the closing ceremony to propose to his girlfriend.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46She couldn't really say no, could she?
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Well, how long have we been together? That's a tough one.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- He asked you, not me. - I think it's two and a half years.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56It couldn't have been any better, could it? It was a perfect time.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Just absolutely thrilled.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Keeping the flame alive for romantics everywhere.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Speaking of which, let's go back to the Opening Ceremony
0:43:04 > 0:43:07and remind ourselves of how the Olympics sparked into life.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11Just saw David Beckham flying down the Thames on that speedboat.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13You know, your heart's racing, you're like,
0:43:13 > 0:43:15"Who's going to light the flame? Who's going to light this?"
0:43:15 > 0:43:19I think it should have been a guy in a high-vis jacket
0:43:19 > 0:43:23finishing off a cigarette and then flicking it into the thing.
0:43:23 > 0:43:24That would have been just perfect.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Cos those guys got a hard time, didn't they?
0:43:26 > 0:43:30No-one thought they were going to finish the stadiums on time and they nailed it.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Everyone thought it was going to be Sir Steve Redgrave
0:43:32 > 0:43:35or Daley Thompson and in the end they got seven young people,
0:43:35 > 0:43:37which I thought was lovely cos if you recall correctly
0:43:37 > 0:43:39the last summer we had
0:43:39 > 0:43:42where there was a bunch of young people running around London
0:43:42 > 0:43:45with fire in their hand, it wasn't exactly Olympic, was it?
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Technically they were going for gold, but it was Argos gold.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53How do you break that to Steve Redgrave, our greatest ever Olympian
0:43:53 > 0:43:55going, "So then, David gives the torch to you..."
0:43:55 > 0:43:57"Yeah, and I light the flame..."
0:43:57 > 0:44:00"No, no, no - you're just going to give it to a bunch of kids."
0:44:00 > 0:44:04You did just expect Steve Redgrave to run on in a flaming coat
0:44:04 > 0:44:05and roll over it until he was lit
0:44:05 > 0:44:07and then lay there going, "I lit the flame,"
0:44:07 > 0:44:10and hug everyone until they were on fire and then just turn into
0:44:10 > 0:44:13a fireball and spell his own name out in the sky that says, "Steve!"
0:44:13 > 0:44:14But it wasn't that.
0:44:14 > 0:44:19Instead, it was very moving, it was seven kids came on,
0:44:19 > 0:44:22young Olympians, the people of the future, igniting the flame,
0:44:22 > 0:44:24which represented the start of the Games,
0:44:24 > 0:44:26was people at the start of their sporting career.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29There wasn't a single person in the room where I was
0:44:29 > 0:44:31that didn't have a tear in the eye.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Gabby, do you know what?
0:44:33 > 0:44:36I am absolutely loving this Olympics stuff.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38- That's good. Good. - So much. What's next?
0:44:38 > 0:44:41OK, well number 26 - I'm really excited about this one - it's gymnastics.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45Britain's men with the first team medal ever in the Olympic Games.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48Mm... What else have you got?
0:44:48 > 0:44:52Gymnastics is... It's just roly-poly isn't it?
0:44:52 > 0:44:54- Yeah, go on then, do one.- All right.
0:44:54 > 0:44:58I would, but my shoulder's giving me a bit of gyp since the javelin,
0:44:58 > 0:45:00- so I can't, really. - Built for it.- Yeah.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03Having never won a team gymnastics medal,
0:45:03 > 0:45:05expectations for our boys weren't that high -
0:45:05 > 0:45:09especially as they were up against the world's greatest nations.
0:45:09 > 0:45:14Still to this day that the team final medal for us...
0:45:15 > 0:45:19..is just the shocker. It's the one that doesn't really sink in.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21I've never witnessed an atmosphere like that.
0:45:23 > 0:45:28Double Arabian, just a pace, and that is just what was needed.
0:45:28 > 0:45:32There was this energy that kind of wrapped up each and every
0:45:32 > 0:45:35single one of the British gymnasts and, sort of,
0:45:35 > 0:45:40carried them off the floor as soon as they started their routines
0:45:40 > 0:45:42and it just encased them.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45This memory will never leave me, watching the men's gymnastics.
0:45:45 > 0:45:50It was like a heart-stopping moment.
0:45:50 > 0:45:55I don't think anyone expected to win a medal the first time in history,
0:45:55 > 0:45:58in 100 years, to win a medal.
0:45:58 > 0:46:03I cannot believe that the men's Great Britain gymnastic team
0:46:03 > 0:46:08beat America, Germany, Russia, Ukraine.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12All of the men's team did such an incredible job on their apparatus
0:46:12 > 0:46:16and we eventually got the bronze, but you know what?
0:46:16 > 0:46:19It was such an incredible job that they did and it was, I think,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22one of the most incredible moments of the whole Games.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27I mean, I was up on me chair, I was running around...
0:46:27 > 0:46:30It was just brilliant, it really was.
0:46:30 > 0:46:35We came third behind China and Japan. That is unbelievable.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37HE SOBS
0:46:37 > 0:46:40You know, these Olympics could get a bit overwhelming.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42I meant for the competitors.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46HE BLOWS HIS NOSE
0:46:46 > 0:46:47Take a look at this.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Well, we've already seen John Inverdale losing it
0:46:49 > 0:46:52and there were more than just a few tears around the Games.
0:46:52 > 0:46:53What about this guy?
0:46:53 > 0:46:57This is Felix Sanchez who at the age of 35 became the oldest man
0:46:57 > 0:47:00to win Olympic gold at the 400m hurdles.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Maybe that's why he's a bit weepy.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05From the king of blubs to the queen of sobs,
0:47:05 > 0:47:08it's our Vicky at number 25.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Victoria Pendleton, what she brought to the Olympics
0:47:11 > 0:47:13was a sense of TOWIE, that kind of drama.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15I don't think anyone brought as much drama
0:47:15 > 0:47:17to the Olympics as Victoria Pendleton.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19There's always drama, there's always tears,
0:47:19 > 0:47:22there's always something to enjoy when Vicky's on the track.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24I mean, you did get a bit tired towards week two of people
0:47:24 > 0:47:26talking about the sacrifices they've had to make.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28I mean, what do you want? A bloody medal?
0:47:28 > 0:47:32As expected, there was drama for Queen Vic in the team sprint when
0:47:32 > 0:47:36the judges deemed her changeover with Jess Varnish to be illegal.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39She was disqualified. Cue more tears.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42Oh, sorry. I'm welling up.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45You know, Vicky can be quite fragile, you know,
0:47:45 > 0:47:48and this was her swansong and it was London, it was everything.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49It had been built up.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52I know I felt the pressure as I'm sure that
0:47:52 > 0:47:55most of my team-mates did too.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58There was one more chance for Vicky to end her career in style.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Could she take gold in the keirin?
0:48:00 > 0:48:04You can imagine her in the backstage Olympic village going,
0:48:04 > 0:48:06"Oh, my God - do you think he fancies me?
0:48:06 > 0:48:08"Do you think I look good in this? I don't know what to do -
0:48:08 > 0:48:11"if I don't win a gold I'm just going to really, really just go.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13"OMG."
0:48:13 > 0:48:16As they are coming down the finishing straight now,
0:48:16 > 0:48:20they are on the line, oh, Victoria Pendleton takes the gold medal!
0:48:20 > 0:48:22She is the Olympic keirin champion!
0:48:22 > 0:48:26That was nice to see her get gold, you know, in the keirin.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28And I like the old teary-eyed celebrations.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31That went down very well with everyone.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33The heart symbol at the Games,
0:48:33 > 0:48:37it wasn't premeditated or anything like that, it was...
0:48:37 > 0:48:40I could see my family in the crowd,
0:48:40 > 0:48:43like, way above me in the stands and, you know, I did that and,
0:48:43 > 0:48:44you know, said, "Love you,"
0:48:44 > 0:48:47that they might recognise what I was trying to say.
0:48:47 > 0:48:52That looks more like a snail than a heart.
0:48:52 > 0:48:53She should've gone...
0:48:53 > 0:48:56Because your heart's slightly to one side and it beats funny like that.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58Or she should have just gone like that, "See you in a bit."
0:48:58 > 0:49:01That's a better symbol, isn't it?
0:49:04 > 0:49:07From the queen of hearts to a woman who captured
0:49:07 > 0:49:08the hearts of the nation.
0:49:08 > 0:49:12For one extraordinary night the Excel Arena turned green
0:49:12 > 0:49:16and Ireland returned its first and only gold of the Games.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18At 24 it's Katie Taylor.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Katie Taylor, I point it out far too often -
0:49:20 > 0:49:22people must be tired of me saying it -
0:49:22 > 0:49:25is from the same town in Ireland that I'm from.
0:49:25 > 0:49:30She is absolutely sensational. Absolutely wonderful to watch.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33What a fighter Katie Taylor is, an Irish legend.
0:49:33 > 0:49:37Going back to my hometown is kind of funny now because it's like,
0:49:37 > 0:49:39"Welcome to Katie Town,"
0:49:39 > 0:49:42cos everywhere there's giant posters of Katie.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44It was really nice to see her do well cos
0:49:44 > 0:49:48she always has a massive fanbase from Ireland.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51In the room it was 80% Irish and myself and Ed Byrne were there
0:49:51 > 0:49:54and we said, "Look, let's not just do this in a kind of a bluffy way,
0:49:54 > 0:49:58"let's actually try to work this out."
0:49:58 > 0:50:02How you have a randomly allocated tickets system that leads to
0:50:02 > 0:50:07an 80% Irish intake on the day is one of the great miracles.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09Good to have you here. Thanks for coming along.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12The way boxing works, it's a flurry of punches
0:50:12 > 0:50:15and then you nervously wait and see what the judges think.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17Oh! Lovely!
0:50:17 > 0:50:21Then she went out, turned it around and went 7-5 up.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24Oh, she doesn't know that she's gone 7-5 up? The roof came off the place.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26An explosion.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30And at the final bell Katie Taylor receives
0:50:30 > 0:50:34a hug of congratulations from her coaching team.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38This could go either way.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40- ANNOUNCER:- Ladies and gentlemen.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42The winner by a score of ten points to eight
0:50:42 > 0:50:50and the Olympic champion in the red corner representing Ireland...
0:50:50 > 0:50:53- CROWD ROARS - ..Katie Taylor.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59And then my stomach, my massive stomach,
0:50:59 > 0:51:01suddenly appearing in shot so I was like, "Oh, Lord.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04"I really must do something about that."
0:51:04 > 0:51:06We don't get, in Ireland, lots of medals.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09To have actually been at one of those moments, oh, that's like...
0:51:09 > 0:51:11You hand that out as a business card. "Oh, yeah, hiya.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13"I was at the Katie Taylor fight."
0:51:13 > 0:51:15This is a dream come true for me.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18It's incredible. The best day of my life.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20One medal was enough. It was a beautiful event.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23- Would you say your parents are proud of you?- Hard to say, really.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27Yeah, sometimes is difficult for people to show their true emotions.
0:51:27 > 0:51:31- No, no. I was raised by wolves so it's literally hard to say.- Yeah.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33OK, well, coming up in this next clip is a human father who
0:51:33 > 0:51:37didn't have any trouble showing his emotions as he watched his son
0:51:37 > 0:51:40take gold in the aquatic centre. It's Chad le "Closs".
0:51:40 > 0:51:45- Le "Cloe", isn't it?- Yeah, like you'd know. Is it le "Cloe"?
0:51:48 > 0:51:51I was covering the swimming and in the 200 fly,
0:51:51 > 0:51:55a race that Michael Phelps hadn't been beaten in for, I don't know,
0:51:55 > 0:51:59six or seven years, he was beaten by a South African called Chad le Clos.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02Oh, my goodness me. Chad le Clos won the gold.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05And there was this guy on the balcony,
0:52:05 > 0:52:08this great big South African man going really,
0:52:08 > 0:52:11really nuts for Chad so I said to Mark,
0:52:11 > 0:52:12"Go and get him! Go and get him!"
0:52:12 > 0:52:15So I ran round and I said, "Do you think that Bert..."
0:52:15 > 0:52:18Or Chad's dad as he was known at the time, "..would talk to us?"
0:52:18 > 0:52:21He looked at Chad's dad, looked back at me and said,
0:52:21 > 0:52:23"He'll talk to you but I warn you - he swears an awful lot,"
0:52:23 > 0:52:27which in my mind, I went, "That's not my problem - it's Clare's problem."
0:52:27 > 0:52:30And I was saying on the talkback to the director and the editor,
0:52:30 > 0:52:33"You must stay with me because we are going to get Chad's dad,"
0:52:33 > 0:52:37and so we got him, found out his name was Bert.
0:52:37 > 0:52:38I started interviewing him
0:52:38 > 0:52:43and he just bubbled over with love and pride.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46- My word. What a performance! - Unbelievable!
0:52:46 > 0:52:50Unbelievable, unbelievable. I've never been so happy in my life.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53To happen tonight it's like I died and went to heaven.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56- And there is your boy down there. - It's unbelievable - look at him!
0:52:56 > 0:53:01And he's beautiful! Look at this! What a beautiful boy! Look...
0:53:01 > 0:53:03Oh, my God. Sorry, sorry.
0:53:03 > 0:53:07"He's beautiful. Don't look at me! Oh, no, don't look at me! Are we live?"
0:53:07 > 0:53:10Look at him! Look at him - he's crying like me!
0:53:10 > 0:53:12"He's a beautiful boy. He's a beautiful boy."
0:53:12 > 0:53:13Of course he is. Weird.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17I love you. Oh, my God. Every time I see myself I look at him.
0:53:17 > 0:53:18Just great and I thought,
0:53:18 > 0:53:20"Just keep holding the microphone in front of him.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23"Just keep holding the microphone - this is gold."
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Oh, unbelievable. Unbelievable. Thanks, Great Britain.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30He was just amazing. He actually reminds me a little bit of my dad
0:53:30 > 0:53:33because if my dad was actually there for the Olympic Games
0:53:33 > 0:53:36he would have definitely reacted along similar lines.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39- Thank you and congratulations.- Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42This was a brilliant piece of television and he doesn't know it.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45I bumped into Bert two nights later and he goes,
0:53:45 > 0:53:47"Oh, my darling, come here, come here, give me a cuddle!
0:53:47 > 0:53:51"We are famous around the world! We are famous around the world!
0:53:51 > 0:53:53"We have gone viral!"
0:53:53 > 0:53:55Number 22 takes us back to the velodrome
0:53:55 > 0:53:58and if you're going to keep Chris Hoy at of the individual sprint
0:53:58 > 0:54:01for team GB then you'd better win gold. No pressure, Jason.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04I think what was wonderful about Jason Kenny was that
0:54:04 > 0:54:08he not only had to deal with the pressure of the crowd in the velodrome,
0:54:08 > 0:54:11not only did he have to deal with the pressure of the fact that
0:54:11 > 0:54:15four years ago Britain won gold, so anything less than gold was going to be a failure,
0:54:15 > 0:54:18but also to deal with the fact that everyone was there going,
0:54:18 > 0:54:22"Oh, THIS is the guy who I haven't actually heard of who they've decided
0:54:22 > 0:54:24"is better for this event than Chris Hoy."
0:54:24 > 0:54:27You imagine getting on a bike and you're all on your own
0:54:27 > 0:54:29and you have to deal with all of that?
0:54:29 > 0:54:31And, boy, did he deal with it.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34COMMENTATOR: Kenny's got the head of the race and Bauge will not take it!
0:54:34 > 0:54:37Kenny is the Olympic sprint champion!
0:54:37 > 0:54:42But it wasn't his exploits in the velodrome that got Jason Kenny splashed all over the papers
0:54:42 > 0:54:43but his not-so-secret romance
0:54:43 > 0:54:46with fellow golden Team GB member Laura Trott.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49There's one way to get outed, isn't there, as a couple?
0:54:49 > 0:54:52And that's the pair of you win two gold medals,
0:54:52 > 0:54:55go down the beach volleyball, sit a row behind David Beckham,
0:54:55 > 0:54:59have a few beers and then discreetly try to steal a kiss.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Do you know what? The rules are out the window here.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09This is us hosting our Olympic Games and if you want to fall in love with a team-mate
0:55:09 > 0:55:12and watch the beach volleyball and have a little kiss,
0:55:12 > 0:55:16all that will happen is the nation will watch that and think, "Fantastic."
0:55:16 > 0:55:19At number 21, it's time to celebrate the exploits of Baillie and Stott.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22The unlikely lads turned out to be the best water-borne double-act
0:55:22 > 0:55:25since Pamela Anderson said yes to the Baywatch gig.
0:55:25 > 0:55:29Gold and silver in the canoe slalom for Baillie and Stott
0:55:29 > 0:55:31and Florence and Hounslow.
0:55:31 > 0:55:36That doesn't really sound like athletes, do they? They sound like really boring estate agents.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39CHEERING
0:55:39 > 0:55:41It's a staged sport anyway, the slalom canoeing.
0:55:41 > 0:55:46If you're going down a river through rocks and it's all fast, why would you go back again?
0:55:46 > 0:55:50Why do they do that bit? They go, "Oh, we just escaped those rocks there. And certain death!
0:55:50 > 0:55:51"I know! Let's go back!"
0:55:51 > 0:55:55So Baillie and Stott had qualified by the skin of their teeth.
0:55:55 > 0:56:00They were in 12th place and they go and do their thing, you know, go for it, no pressure on them.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03So clearly when they get out they're the first ones who've gone,
0:56:03 > 0:56:06they're in gold medal position. What's going to happen next?
0:56:06 > 0:56:10What happens next is 11, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13None of them beat their time. They're in gold-medal position during the last run
0:56:13 > 0:56:15and it happens to be their mates.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17Their mates Florence and Hounslow are going to go.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20And you could see when they were watching it,
0:56:20 > 0:56:24there's a part of them that was getting their face ready like the Oscars.
0:56:24 > 0:56:28Cos it was almost like they were nominated but they were ready to go, "Oh, they're great."
0:56:28 > 0:56:31COMMENTATOR: This could be gold and silver for Great Britain!
0:56:31 > 0:56:35Tim Baillie and Stott lead. Can Florence and Hounslow win it?
0:56:35 > 0:56:38Oh, my goodness! They've got a silver medal!
0:56:38 > 0:56:43I thought, well done to them. You know, underdogs in the final and they did it. Congratulations.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56Well, that's 50 to 21 decided.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59Some amazing moments there. How was it for you, Greg?
0:56:59 > 0:57:02I loved it, I'm a convert. I think I've got Olympic-itus.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04You better get that checked out.
0:57:04 > 0:57:08- Sadly though that's all we've got time for.- I want some more!
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Well I might just have the tonic for you
0:57:10 > 0:57:13because next time we're going to be counting down from 20 -
0:57:13 > 0:57:16the top Olympic moments from London 2012.
0:57:16 > 0:57:19- And you might just see this lot. - Amazing, let's hug it out.
