Day 11 Olympics Tonight

Britain have got cold, and the crowd are on their feet. -- gold.

This is unbelievable scenes we are witnessing here. It doesn't get

better than that. Day 11 enters its last stage as the Olympic flame

burning brightly over seeing all the events in the stadium. The

sport continues as the Olympic city never sleeps. The women's

basketball quarter-final, the women's beach volleyball semi-

finals for happening now and you can watch them online. Another

fabulous day and we have a suitably fabulous line-up on the sofa to

review it. Chris Boardman is going to take the medal! Steve Cram in

second place, and the battle between the two. It is all over.

Lennox Lewis, the gold medallist. What a trio, Chris and Stephen with

me now. Lennox, you had a punch-up with him beforehand - he will be

coming later for the boxing. Don't give anything away, your favourite

moment so far? For me, personally, I am bound to say Mo Farah. Is that

OK? I think a lot of the nation would be agreeing with you. I think

not only so far, it might be my favourite moment for a long time.

think I would go with Bradley Wiggins, seeing those sideburns.

These? I have been wanting to pull these out for the whole of the

Olympics. I think they belong to Gary. You can have them. Here is

what is coming up. Alastair and Jonny Brownlee were going for gold

in the triathlon. The last night in the Velodrome - Chris Hoy, Victoria

Pendleton and Laura Trott had new medals in their sights. And dressed

for success, Team GB was brined for equine glory in the dressage arena.

Let's start with the triathlon, a relatively new Olympic sport

introduced in Sydney 12 years ago. Britain has never won a medal in

this event, but today Team GB had the Brownlee brothers. Could it be

the perfect family affair? Football the favourites Team GB had

coming into London, arguably the strongest are the Brownlee brothers.

Given our strength in the sport in the last decade though, Olympic

medals have been in short supply. This is a huge day for British

triathlon. No pressure, boys. Today's course in Hyde Park starts

with a 1,500m swim, one mark of the Serpentine, into transition, on to

the bike, a 43 kilometre bike ride past Buckingham Palace, then back

here for a 10 kilometre run, finishing here. And they are off.

May the two best athletes in that field win. The Slovakian leading,

and Alistair Brownlee and Jonny Brownlee in fourth and fifth

position. So far, so good. The plan now is that they stick together for

the ride. Stuart Hayes has been specifically selected for the

Olympic Games based on the next hour. Jonny Brownlee, Fabien of

Italy, Alistair Brownlee, they will hit transition together and they

are leading the race together. lap stint and a leading group of

lap stint and a leading group of five still, the good news is two of

them are called Brownlee. This is what Stuart Hayes has been brought

in to do. Stuart Hayes is at the front of the pack, doing exactly

the job he was selected for. We are hearing that Jonny Brownlee might

incur a 15 second penalty for mounting his bike too early when he

exited transition after the swim. A real surprise about how few people

are here, it is like a quiet ride in the pack. Yeah, right! A at the

dismount line they run alongside their bikes. Keep your eyes on

Alistair Brownlee, and his younger brother it is parallel with him.

The art is a big group, there may be 16 in that front group, and both

the Brownlees is there, but don't forget Jonny Brownlee has that

penalties are -- penalty to serve. At the speed of that, my goodness.

Alistair Brownlee looks like an 800m runner going through there and

this is 100% effort from the first step. There are the leaders and I

am timing begat back to second place. At the moment it is more

than 15 seconds. Amazingly, John Lee could still get a medal here. -

- Jonny. He will have to stop and stand, and time will tick by very

slowly. It looks like he has a reasonable lead on Javier Gomez for

the gold. Here he comes, so cold, and in bronze medal position Jonny

Brownlee distilled clear. This is a fantastic performance for a bronze

medal. The we are seeing the first British Olympic triathlon champion

in the guise of Alastair Brownlee. This is effectively a lap of honour

for Alistair Brownlee as he slows down to a jog on the blue carpet.

He has the Union Jack around his shoulders. He can walk across the

line. Alistair Brownlee is the Olympic triathlon champion. He has

the time to savour it. Alistair Brownlee, Olympic champion. That

must have been the most painful lack of former in history, and here

is his brother. That is a staggering bronze medal. I don't

think I will never experienced anything like that ever again. All

round the bike loop, it was 10 deep, all the way past the palace.

Amazing. A word about Jonny Brownlee chucking his guts up, for

want of a better phrase. That his triathlon. He went as hard as he

could today and obviously timed it right. He didn't want that to

happen before the finishing line. It is a shame he got the penalty

but I don't think it necessarily altered the race too much. He was

stressing a little bit but I said don't worry you can still get on

the penalty. When I have that 15 second penalty, I knew I had to go

for it. It was a stressful situation, and when I crossed the

line I have a heated, my blood sugar went down, but I got looked

sugar went down, but I got looked Fantastic, the pressure that was on

them coming into this because they are first and second in the world,

they have delivered, and some others haven't, and they have

transformed their form and brought it into the Olympic Games.

wasn't even as simple as that. He had a horrific injury in January,

practically ruptured his Achilles tendon, and to come back from

that... I saw him in March and he still wasn't even walking properly.

He said to me, I will be fine. He was placing a lot of faith in

medical Staff and everyone around him in the same way that can't this

was about saying to his brother -- that calmness was about saying to

his brother. Proper Yorkshire, I will be fine. Chucking up,

brotherly love. A lot of endurance athletes move away, whether they go

to France to train, moving away, and they have stayed in West

Yorkshire. I see them fairly often because the girl like coach is at

the same university so they are often on the track. They train hard.

They are good runners by the way. They are one and two in the world.

You constantly have a yardstick right next to you, literally in the

same house. In the same way Mo Farah trained, I guess. Yes,

working against each other. I said the other night, you know the guy

you train with, when you are both good, and obviously they are

talking during the event, it must be awful for the other competitors

around. It sounded like quite a big conversation as well. I told him...

Hang on, step outside! He will still be on the podium, don't worry

still be on the podium, don't worry about it. Let's look at how good

his times are compared to the rest of the world. His 10 K time is very

impressive, he would not have come last in the 10 K final. There is a

few minutes' difference in the pool, but they are strong runners. I

guess if they are in the front when they get off their bikes, the rest

they get off their bikes, the rest of the field has got a hope to hang

on. Just to be precise, often in a triathlon the 10 K is not exactly a

10 K, I am told, but this time she you -- Hugh Jones did it precisely.

He is a fantastic runner. The to time to head to Big Ben. You think

you're going to hear a particular tune we have played 18 times before.

No, we need special music for this particular gold medal. We have hit

19, the number of gold medals we won in Beijing. It is clearly an

important mark, so would you like to move the Totalisator up-to- 19.

Beijing was considered this might not happen again. Don't eat milk it.

Well done, there might be more tonight. Who knows? So far, Great

Britain have won five gold medals and a bronze from the races at the

Velodrome. Tonight the final three races took place. Sir Chris Hoy,

Victoria Pendleton and Laura Trott were perfectly placed for glory. We

The woman is only young. After day one, Laura Trott found herself in

the lead. And then the three: At her individual pursuit, where she

was head to head with the American. Hammer was leading by a point.

Laura needed to finish near her to be sure of a place in the 500

metres time-trial. Again, it went down to the last race and high

drama in develop from. -- in the Sarah Hammer, 15. Let me simplified

this. Laura must finish three places ahead of Hammer in this time

trial. So, two laps of the track. Both know exactly what is at stake

here. Away they go for two laps of the track. The concluding event in

the six event omnium to decide where the metals are going to go.

Great start by Laura Trott. -- the medals. She has already got Hammer

on the rack. One lap to go with the belt. Laura Trott is on fire.

fastest first lap. Now, then, remember, she has got to finish

three places ahead of Hammer to finish in the time-trial. Hammer is

4th. The gold medal is going to go to Laura Trott. Well, it went down

to the wire and I can't believe it! A brilliant time from Laura Trott

there. And Sarah Hammer coming in Laura, congratulations. A double

Olympic champion at your first Olympic Games. You have made a

nation very, very proud. I can't believe this is happening to me!

Yesterday, I was losing my head between events because they weren't

going the way I wanted them to, really. But now I am so happy.

I am delighted to say Laura Trott is here with her two gold medals.

Has it sunk in? No! It has and! Eyes still can't believe it! I

still can't! With the omnium, it is pot luck and Ed Clancy said it is

very difficult. The timed events are my best events so once I had

them in the back Dacre, I was OK. And then I had the omnium sorted.

But the scratch race, I am terrible at! It was more about limiting my

losses. And your first gold, did that propel you on? Did you have

his taste for it? Definitely. I think we all just bounced off each

other. It started when the men won the sprint. Everybody thought, well,

if they can do it, so can we. If we bounced off each other. Can you sum

up her achievements, because Laura, in stature, she's not as tall as

the other girls and she just has this incredible desire to win it.

Consistency in that event is so important. The time difference but

the skill to run an elimination race like that, creating your own

holes. So, tactically? Yes, and being consistent through those

events. It is being consistent through those events. That is the

key and that is what you were today. A but you do have a really special

character. You were a small baby, you came early and had a collapsed

lung. The doctors told of parents you should do some exercise and you

started cycling a bit by accident? Yes. They told by mum and dad I

should do so win to regulate my breathing and then it was one thing

and another that led me to cycling. Was it a concoction of you got that

taste? Yes. But I didn't even enjoys cycling to start with. I

hated getting up early! These with your heroes, I guess, though, and

now you are sitting at the top table with the likes of Bradley

Wiggins. It is embarrassing! they are your team-mates? Yes, it

is mad. I never believed I would be in the same team as them.

Victoria Pendleton as well. And I read that you said, when you were

training really hard and you have the build-up of lactic acid, you

can taste blood in your mouth? and your teeth hurt as well. If cue

gold medals? It is unbelievable. This guy sitting next to me knows

about the success of what has happened but it just shows you that

when a sport works it out and you find what makes it click, you would

then just looking for the people like Laura to come into the system

and make it deliver. We have all been snuggling up to the cyclists

and finding out the secrets! But it is brilliant. Such an achievement.

Stacking them up! This is the first time we have been able to do this

because we have a bit of a blast of Spandau Ballet... And if you would

be so kind to move the Totalisator up from 19 to 20 golds. Yeah!

is a special moment. Very special moment. We have got a bit more

cycling to do. We would love you to join us for the rest of it. But not

giving anything away, of course! For Victoria Pendleton, it would be

the final race of an illustrious Olympic career. Whatever happened,

there would be tears. The women's sprint. A case of cat and mouse.

You have to a wit and outpace your opponent across the line. The best

of three, and Victoria Pendleton sprint. -- cheater one. A repeat of

the final four years ago. And it is crunch time now in the velodrome.

This brings Victoria Pendleton onto the track and her nemesis, Anna

Meares, of Australia. This is her finale because she is drawing the

curtains on what has been a glittering career. After this, she

is retiring. She really is fully confident here. Pendleton leading

it out. Here comes Anna Meares. Pendleton, really applying the

pressure and lifting the leg speed. Here comes the challenge from

Pendleton. On the line! It was a close! That was an incredible ride

by Anna Meares. She bluffed Victoria Pendleton into a leading

that out and she had the confidence to leave a gap of nearly two bike

length coming into the back straight. She took it all if the

way to the line but it has given Victoria Pendleton... We are

looking at the screen here and this is what they are looking at. Did

Anna Meares come inside the red line? Ooh! No. Victoria Pendleton

came out. I cannot believe they are going to relegate Victoria

Pendleton. She did come out of the lime butter was not done to put

somebody else off their race, it was in reaction to having an elbow

pushed into her. So there you go. That is the worst news that has

just been announced. Hard to know what to do about that, isn't it?

Terribly unpopular. We watched the slow motion as well. The only

reason she was outside that spring to mind was because she was elbowed

by another competitor. A very poor decision. No contest between these

two. No contest is every easily decided and I think Pendleton is

seeing the advantage and looks like she will jumper wear from Anna

Meares. I thought she was going to but she stalled. I thought she

would go for a whole lap and a half or two. That would have been a big

move in this kind of competition but she has lost that opportunity.

And Anna Meares said, you know what, I fancy more. You can leave this

out. She has got to win this to take it to a decider, and I think

she has lost it because she stalled there. Anna Meares is going around

the outside and she is going to take it. She goes around down the

straight and wins the gold Medal. Victoria gets the silver medal.

have to handed to her and so does Victoria Pendleton. A round of

applause straightaway. I don't even think that Anna Meares believed,

from the look of a phrase, that I can't imagine what went through

your mind when you realise you had been relegated. I was really

annoyed. Because I realised she had touched me. I cannot believe I have

been disqualified are relegated twice in this competition. It is

unheard of. So it a bit of a surprise and it did not much

confidence. But two golds and a silver medal, and nine-times world

champion. Thank you so much. I am so overwhelmed right now with

emotion. I would have loved to have won for my final race but Graham so

glad I can move on and that is my final race. -- but I am so glad.

Tears from such an illustrious career. But did you think that was

unfair? I do think it was. Anna Meares did not lead on how on

purpose. But there are so close, going at 70 kilometres an hour. And

then Vicky's response was just a lean back on the person who was

leaning on her. They were not trying to impede somebody else's

progress. And after that, Vicky's Hot just was not in it. -- Vicky's

heart. Anna Meares was a very convincing winner. And it is good,

to be honest, to see somebody so related to win something. And I

think it shocked her. And, Laura, as much as we on this great British

success, in the velodrome, it is difficult to win gold. So maybe it

shows the rest of the world that they can cycle. She has been a huge

poster girl, Victoria. We saw you when you were a kid with her so she

has done a lot for men and cycling. She really has. She is my role

model and I get sad to see her upset because a silver medal is a

silver medal and nobody can take away from her what she has done

before. If I can inspire as many people as she has, that is an

achievement in itself. It really is. For to it is raining out there and

the people are still there. Can you give them a wave? The folks at home

cannot see you making them happy but she has made them happy!

Next, the final race of the night, and the final race of Sir Chris

Hoy's and Lembit career. The men's keirin. -- and Olympic career.

This is a laps -- eight laps of the track. Five of those are behind the

man in black. And then a straight sprint to the line. Sir Chris Hoy

was aiming for his 6th gold medal to become the greatest British

Chris Hoy takes it. Free to go, and levy is still on the pace of the

bike. A long stride for home here as she comes up to the line. And

Sir Chris Hoy has already ignited the burners. He is on the front!

Teun Mulder tucked him 4th on the inside. Here comes Hoy. Shoulder to

shoulder, shoulder to shoulder! They come up to the bend and they

are lining up for the run to the line! Who will get it? Chris Hoy

gets the gold medal! That is his 6th gold medal. He becomes the

greatest achiever ever, the greatest British Olympian. His

tally - six golds and warn Silva. Sir Chris Hoy is the Olympic

Chris, nobody is going to spoil this party! I am shocked. Trying to

take it all in. This is surreal. This is what I wanted. To win the

gold in front of the home crowd. I saw the team pursuit, the girls,

everybody stepping up the plate. Laura today. This is the perfect

end to my Olympic career. I look back four Games ago to Sydney and

the silver medal was like, if I had stopped then I would have been a

happy boy. But to go on to Athens, Beijing and here... I can't put it

into words, what it means. I have got a man here who would

like to know what it feels like to pick up six. Eurostar, thank you so

much. Oh absolutely amazing. Is that it? I have finished. I am

coming back, it is official. wonderful hero, he never

disappoints. He must of a ruthless side we don't see. He applies

himself to the task when he is in the sport itself, but he is

genuinely a nice guy and he makes time for everybody. I have seen him

wearing himself out giving autographs, he doesn't like to say

no. You say Victoria was a role model to you, Chris is a benchmark.

You could have four Olympics, you could be emulating him. I will try!

I will do my best. That is the thing, it is re-evaluating your

goals. He started in Sydney, got his first medal in Athens. It is

the most difficult thing for anyone at the top, staying there. Everyone

is after you, you set the benchmark, but the thing is sport never stops.

If you don't start that cycle that year, as hungry as you were eight

years ago, you are stuffed and the fact he has done that is incredible.

Has he become the King of Scotland now? So Bream overlord or the King

of Scotland. He won't commit to the Commonwealth Games, but they will

demand it, won't they? He did say 99.9% certain he will not do

another Olympics so there is some were cool room. It gives me great

pleasure to introduce the music. Would you like to do this? You

remember the days when Great Britain didn't sweep the board in

the Velodrome. We are moving up to 21 gold medals. I used to be a

carpenter, I have got to get it just right. The you failed

miserably. You should see the shelves I put up. What a great

Olympics so far it has been, especially from Great Britain's

for Great Britain. I don't believe what I am seeing here. They are

inspired, and Australia are bottling. Victoria Pendleton takes

the gold medal. They are on fire. Great Britain wins the Olympic

title and another world record. Ed Clancy has sealed a bronze medal

with that ride in the kilometre. The Olympic sprint champion, and he

won it in style. It went down to the wire and I can't believe it. A

gold medal for Laura Trott. That is a very poor decision. And Victoria

Pendleton's career ends on a silver medal. Chris Hoy is the Olympic

champion. It has been a phenomenal Olympics in the Velodrome and the

total medals from this Olympic Games in track cycling is nine

compared to 12 from Beijing, but of course the events changed as well.

Chris Hoy was allowed to enter the sprint last time. We are not

suggesting the world governing body was trying to alter the result saw

anything, but they wanted to change it so we had parity between the men

and women, which is a good thing. Because they had 10 medals, they

are not allowed more, they decided to take out the individual pursuit,

brought in the omnium, which we thought was a paying, now we think

it is quite good, but it is only one rider per nation which changed

things. Everybody has raved about it as a venue as well, saying it is

one of the great venues of the Olympic Games and hopefully it will

inspire a generation. Laura, you are spearheading that. In the short

term, are you going on holiday? can't wait! He will be desperate to

get back on your bike. I will. There is plenty more still to come

tonight. If there is a horse involved, we seem to be doing all

right - the dressage riders were going for gold today. A busy night

on the track including four Robbie Grabarz on the high jump. On the

water again in Weymouth as windsurfing waved goodbye. This

thought continues. The women's basketball quarter-final is under

way, and the men's beach volleyball semi-finals are under way. We can

semi-finals are under way. We can catch that via the BBC's Board

website. It was the team final for the dressage today, a discipline

where the relationship between human and horse is at its most

symbiotic and Great Britain appear to be good at it. Team GB qualified

in top spot. Sit back and enjoy this. The there is a real hope that

Britain could bring another gold, and let me tell you the

celebrations are still going on from the wonderful gold medal that

was produced by the British show jumpers yesterday. The next horse

comes in, and that next course is Great Britain's Carl Hester. Will

have never won an Olympic medal Great Britain comes on with his

lovely horse, Utopia. You won't see a better extended trot than that.

Very balanced, a lovely bend on the rider's inside leg. It looks as if

he might creep over VAT percent, and the team are happy. In to is

the proudest moment of my life and I am so glad to have made it one

more Olympics and delivered. Now, Laura Bechtolsheimer, her first

Olympics. We are long-standing partnership and it feels amazing

for me to have been part of this progression. It is amazing how this

horse has developed his confidence and partnership with Laura over the

years. Hopefully to finish his career with a gold medal is

extremely emotional for me and I am proud of the journey he had. Laura

Bechtolsheimer! I am sure they will be delighted with that. What can

this lady do? Charlotte Dujardin, this is for gold for Great Britain.

I was nervous today, just because I wanted to come home with a gold

medal. Hold on to your hats, let's hope she keeps this extended trot

under control. I wanted to do everybody proud and it was a great

feeling. She has made history, and they know and Charlotte knows she

has won great Britain's first-ever gold in dressage. Here we are,

winning our first-ever medal at the Olympic Games, and it is gold.

There are so many people in the crowd supporting us and that makes

it so special. Take it all in - Carl Hester, Laura Bechtolsheimer,

It is incredible how well we have done in the equine sports. The show

jumpers yesterday getting gold, the event has took silver. I don't know

where your knowledge extends to. Let us be careful. I just wonder

about transporting the horses. is the only thing, given what

happened in Beijing. Having it at home must be a massive advantage.

Apparently a lot of the horses are stabled here for a long time before

hand but not having to transport your horse... It must be a

logistical nightmare. It is bad enough getting your bike around the

world. It is one of the few sports where there was a massive advantage

to being at home, it has to be. deliver it on that stage, it is

beautiful to watch. If a great venue. Did you have much of that

when you were growing up? I don't think they know how to spell that.

We put it to music for your enjoyment. On first David do

actually performed to music in the individual freestyle section. It

was a gold medal, so it is time for... You can go over, trot over,

trot on and move it up to 22 gold medals. And it is only Tuesday

evening, can you believe it? and two more opportunities. You may

need to get a bigger tower. Were really thought we were being over-

ambitious but we can get an extension. The on the poise and

grace to the power and precision of perfection, and the last day of the

routine. Can she harness it? the power and control - brilliant.

What a performance! Utterly spectacular. There it is great

stuff. That is a super performance. And a great double pike. Wow. Now

that is what you call a parallel bars routine. My goodness me, she

is really being precise with everything. That is a strong

challenge. Is it enough for gold? It is? She is in gold medal

position. They this is the most difficult combination in the world.

And he has done it. That is a cracker. Unbelievable. That was

spectacular! You have done it. Gymnastics doesn't get any better

than this. That routine on the high bars was incredible. Have they got

to our commentator, who coaches him. I'm sure he will be celebrating

this evening. Hockey news now and great Britain's men have qualified

for the semi-finals after a draw against Spain. It was a dramatic

game. Britain led 1-0 through this strike, but Spain equalised in the

second half, so 1-1 was enough, that was OK, but there were a few

final tense moments towards the end, and some skirmishes as well but

thankfully Great Britain have gone through and they will play the

Netherlands in the semi-final. A possible medal for Great Britain's

men and women in the semi-finals as well - it is amazing how so many

teams are peaking at the right time and that is what the Olympics are

all about. We are moving on now to the athletics, and we are starting

with another medal for Britain - Robbie Grabarz and he picked up a

bronze this evening. We are going to show you his procession of jumps.

The first jump, he went clear at 2.25. They this was crucial because

in high jump... It didn't develop into that exciting a competition

later on, but it was always going to be the medals that were likely.

year. On the day, you have to go with what you get and he had a 2.33

at least in him. I think his second attempt was probably the best. But

it was marginal. But the Russian who won... He jumped to two. There

T8. He was an internet sensation a few years ago! He was. If you

haven't seen him, you should check him out. But the interesting thing

was, you lost his best. And he was panicked about it. The official

came and said, but a T-shirt on. He pinned on his number with one pin

and still clear behind. It was unbelievable! That was the jump of

the competition. Yes, you could see he was getting a little bit anxious.

And then he was scrabbling around. I think he asked if anybody had

seen it. He found it because then he put it back on for his final

What a performance. The biggest night of your life and you have

delivered a medal? Yes. I am over the moon. If somebody had said, you

are going to get a bronze medal in London 2012, I would have bitten

their hand off. How did it come about? Remind everybody at home

where you were and how you got to here? I was just wasting too much

time and not really applying myself. At the end of last year, me and my

coach sat down and he gave me a good telling-off, to put it

politely. He said, you are wasting my time and you are wasting your

time. Go away and come back if you want to win a medal. And I won a

medal. So the coach gave it to him? Yes. They have got a good

relationship and more is to come from Robbie as well. And of course,

Greg Rutherford in the long jump, so jumping is OK. But not so much

the discus, as Lawrence Okoye went out well below his season's best.

He has thrown over 68 this season. This young man has got so much

talent. What I know about discus throwing, you could write on the

back of my hand! But the guys tell me he could have thrown 69 metres

tonight equally because he has that ability. He is still learning. This

is an old man's event. So to be in there with the big champions, he

has done well. Rio if we can keep him involved in athletics. Where

else will he go? He is a heck of a rugby player and he has given up to

do discus. We hope he has got a bit of a taste for it. And he is a

lovely guy, a gentle giant. He may be needs to develop more of a

willingness and a thirst to do well. Maybe you is to do rugby for six

months, get beaten up a bit and think, I want to go back to discus!

-- maybe he needs to do rugby. This was a fantastic thrower in the

discus. He ripped off his shirt and had a bit I incredible hulk moment

and then hurdle to celebrate! Not sure about his right hundred

metres! But a good effort! Staying with the hurdles, a big night for

Australia. Their world champion, Sally Pearson, was going for a

drama in one way it or another. Dawn Harper, the defending champion,

in a number for. And then Kellie Wells and Lower Lode Jones making

does Kellie Wells. It is Sally Pearson of Australia. She is

forging ahead. Sally Pearson just get sit on the line. Gold for

Australia! A new Olympic record. -- Sally Pearson gets it. The world

champion now is the Olympic champion. And she is looking up at

a screen and she's not quite sure. I wonder what it means to her?! He

must have been so amazing, bringing that world title into an Olympics.

And also, she has been almost invincible for the last few years,

except the last race before coming here, and she got beaten in her

first race in 32. Apart from the fact she's so good, she has been

very tough mentally. A typical Aussie. And she gives good

interview! Yes. And to be fair, Harper was brilliant tonight. But

Sally just got it and she deserves it, I think. You like to see any

body celebrate like that. You like to see any body enjoy it like that.

And Australia really need it. they do, and they have doubled

their tally to four golds today. Without wanting to stick the boot

in, but with apologies in advance as a Yorkshire lass, I am quite

pleased to bring you this next item. Because it would seem the biggest

county in England is punching above for Great Britain. One step closer

for Jessica Ennis! Her first ever senior race. Alistair Brownlee is

the Olympic triathlon champion! have done it and we have done it in

style! A fantastic grow from them! Jessica Ennis is the Olympic

champion! That is what it means to Yeah, could think Yorkshire, if it

goes for independence, would be at the moment 11th on the table. -- I

pushed things down. We might not have a Premier League football club

but we appear to rock the Olympic Games. What do you want me to say?

You obviously want a moment there! I was hoping for a Yorkshireman on

the sofa, but two northern lads, that is fine! From Yorkshire

packing a punch to Olympic boxing command over the years, the

competition has unearthed real talent over the years. See who you

One of those phases. Great to have you here. Are you having a good

Olympics? Yeah, I am loving it. Super-heavyweight Anthony Joshua

did very well last night. Very well. He's done a great job so far. His

first fight, you know, he waited a week for his first and it is

difficult to stay sharp. You could tell he had really learned in his

second because he came up more controlled and threw a great right

hand, but the Chinese guy down and almost surprised himself. And you

can tell he is learning as he goes along because he got hit with a

good punch and he was like, OK, I got hit, what have were doing

wrong? He is definitely doing good. of these. The magnificent seven are

only one man down. Today was the return of Andrew Selby and a win

would guarantee him a silver medal. You can expect a tough opponent for

him. The Cuban prodigy. The first round was really tight. Both boxers

trading punches, and the judge at the end of the first three could

only split them by a point. But the Cuban took a slender lead 5-4.

Andrew was under pressure and Ramirez took the round, leading 12-

third and final round, the 52 kilo flyweight fight, Andrew Selby,

ranked number one, has to return a five-point deficit if he wants to

join his GB team-mates on the podium. We have progressed three

men to that stage. And Nicola Adams in the women's tournament as well.

He will have to find something to overcome this deficit. 12-seven. Up

against this very slick, Cuban talent. Andrew Selby needs is which

of attack and is to switch from head to body. This is what he has

got to do. The Cuban is Bocking well to the head. He might be

vulnerable downstairs. -- the Cuban he opened up the advantage of five

points and Selby is desperate to overturn that in this final stage.

Suffered from Selby but then warned for punching incorrectly by the

those gloves and elbows. He's flowing very well now, is Andrew

Selby. You feel that Ramirez is at the peak of his start, just waiting

for the opening. Not giving Ramirez taking Selby back to the

ropes and loading a quick flurry of his own. The crowd, again,

continuing to encourage Selby but they know what a really difficult

task this will be. To overturn five points in the final round against a

boxer as talented as Ramirez. Just 20 years of age. The youth Olympic

champion from Singapore a few years ago. And a Pan Am game's senior

champion from last year. An immensely talented boxer and could

he be about to stand between Selby and a place on the Olympic rostrum?

And it's a strong finish to this contest from the Cuban. He landed a

good left hook. The two men going toe-to-toe. But Ramirez is

confident he has done enough. He led by five going into the round

and Selby gave it his absolute all, but that was going to be we did

have got margin to were overturned and his body language suggests he

has not done enough to guarantee himself upwards. -- to guarantee

himself a place on the Olympic podium. In the red corner

representing Cuba, Ramirez! Andrew Selby won the third and final round

against Ramirez but there can be no doubt about the victor. He muse to

the Olympic -- key moves to the Olympic level podium. -- he moves

That particular fight, he learned that the Cuban, Ramirez, we looked

at his time. He did not work too hard for the first few minutes. --

took his time. But his where he held him back. I am sure when he

looks back, he will think, should have done this, I should have done

that. But this is what the Olympic experience is about. Have you been

impressed with the Olympic standard of British boxers? Absolutely. I am

looking forward to the finals to see how the boys do. And especially

the women. I am shocked at the Women. I am looking thinking, that

is not a goal boxing, it is -- it is not a girl boxing, it is a boy.

And that is a compliment. Now we go to welterweight. He takes on

Clayton. He is second in the rankings but Clayton is a man on a

and he was in great form. Connected with a whole range of shots. He won

the round easily, but the Canadian fought back and took it 6-3 in the

next round. Let's joint at the start of the third round, it was

10-8. We move into the third and final round of this quarter-final.

Both of these boxers will be so desperate to stand on the podium.

This is the final eight, if you make it through to the semi-finals

you are guaranteed at least a bronze medal. To remain alive in

this competition, both boxers will have their minds on the top spot

but there focus will remain on the boxer in front of them. Said Evans,

wearing blue. Clayton representing Canada in red. The men exchanging

blows. The two is important Fred Evans maintains that gap, that

distance. He does not want to be boxing Clayton on the inside. Oxfam

range, bring him on to the shots, and don't stand and hold your feet.

Clayton working well to the body at close range, he had a good right

hook as Evans missed with his own left. Clayton started boxing at

eight years old, introduced by his uncle Gary Johnson, the father of

Kurt Johnson. He used to hang around the gym, desperate to try

the sport himself, but his uncle said immediately he could see that

Clayton possessed some talent, and now here he is representing his

country as part of a very strong boxing team - two men, one woman

representing the maple leaf of Canada. Fred Evans has got to work

harder, make sure. Vox that range. The feller is going to come, get

the timing right. A right hand landed on the inside by Clayton as

Evans went along with his shot. He was really given a rocket when he

returned to the corner by his coach, he said he had stopped working. The

crowd are raising their noise levels in an effort to spur him on.

Concentration going to be absolutely crucial now. Fred Evans

led by two coming into this final round. We are approaching the final

30 seconds of around that has been keenly contested. Do you want to

get on a podium? Let's go, you have got to work harder. Keep your

balance, this is what it is all about. Which boxer can dig in and

find the moment of inspiration? Which boxer will take inspiration

from this crowd? They are chanting Fred Evans' name. He was content to

stand and posed but he didn't work during that period and it was a

keenly fought encounter which will hang in the balance. The Canadian

corner think they have done enough. Clayton, absolutely spent after

returning to that corner. Fred Evans gave it everything as well

and a place on the podium is at stake. They competed right until

the final bell. Ladies and gentlemen, the judges scored the

bout level at 14 points apiece. go to countback. The winner on

countback, in the blue corner, representing Great Britain, Fred

Evans. Fred Evans from Wales has guaranteed himself an Olympic medal

after winning by the slimmest possible margin over Clayton, who

fought a terrific final round. On countback, Fred Evans has been

declared as the winner. He is through to the final four. He has

guaranteed himself an Olympic medal and that is brilliant for the boxer

from Wales. Clayton deserves a round of applause as well because

he played his part in a magnificent contest, and now Fred Evans will

stand atop the medal podium and there is the moment of realisation.

Ralph Evans was the last boxer in 1972 to secure a medal, and that is

wonderful for GB boxing. There is a slight cavil at because

the Canadians have lodged an appeal. Not all appeals are successful but

it will be an uncomfortable night's asleep for Fred Evans until he

finds out. Let's say the appeal is not successful, and there are five

boxers going into the semi-final. Six bronze medals out of 10 boxers,

and it could be more - the colours could change - pretty good going.

To a thick, you can't ask for anything more. They have worked on

the team, the team is looking lovely. Hard work get the results,

simple as that. Ugo two Olympics back, and near Khan was the only

boxer and he was saying to me the other day that the injection of

funding means now we have really successful boxers. We it is true.

Boxers don't really get a lot of support but when there was an

opportunity and you see an opportunity to get cold, the

support comes and you get results from that. And socially, the

importance of boxing, the kind of areas that boxing clubs spring up

areas that boxing clubs spring up in, their impact is very important

so it has great benefits for society as well. And something that

is happening at the Olympic Games here will only have a further

knock-on effect. It is still a fairly accessible sport in that

sense. Not one that everyone would gravitate to, but certainly one

that is accessible to any town you are in. Olympic boxing, how what is

structured with women there, it is giving Great Britain a fantastic

shot. It depends on you. If you do hard work in the ring, you get

results. You don't have to have a team atmosphere, you depend on

yourself. It is a great grounding for young boxers before you launch

yourself into professional boxing. Yes, this is the pedigree before

you turn professional, and start your trip to become a champion of

the world. The amateur scoring compared to the professional

scoring, I love the professionals Goring, it is a lot better.

find out who you really are when you turn professional. You can put

more into the rounds you go through. Give us one name that has really

impressed you so far? They have more impressed me. Anthony Joshua

has impressed me, Anthony Ogogo did some smart things in his last fight

and it really helped him to win. will stay with strength and the

super-heavyweights were in town. This Iranian confirmed himself as

the world's strongest man. He lifted 455 kilos on his way to beat

his fellow countryman. While. Back to the track now and an event close

to call our hearts, the 1,500m. Steve Cram won Silva in the LA

Games, but tonight Britain didn't have a qualifier. Makhloufi ran the

fastest time in qualifying. The defending champion, Kiprop, was

aiming to emulate Sebastian Coe's outside. Makhloufi pushes the road.

He has the best spot, and look where Kiprop is. He has a lot to do.

His team mates are at the front. His team-mates are setting the pace,

and now Makhloufi from Algeria strikes out down the back straight.

He has some company, he has the Ethiopia and attacking as well.

Controversial Algerian kicks for home in a style which we haven't

seen from him. This is a victory for a man who would not have come

to these Olympic Games expecting to win this race. Certainly not many

people thought he could do this. He has completely destroyed this the

Olympic field. It will be tight on the line for the bronze. It was

close, very close for the bronze. Makhloufi has won the gold medal

for Algeria. He won it in a manner for Algeria. He won it in a manner

which many will find surprising. A very original celebration, but

Makhloufi was no were last year, and yesterday pulled out of the

800m with a doctor's note to say he was sick. An amazing recovery.

he was entered into both events and he can't now do the double - the

800m semi-finals were about an hour before that so his federation had

made a mistake and they should have withdrawn him. They didn't, so

after the semi-final he had to come in and win the heats. Obviously he

was qualified for that final so he decided to jog off the line, ran

100m and stopped. If you do that in competition, you are considered not

to her for tint of bona fide effort. The doctor's note said he was

injured, and that was the reason he stopped. He didn't look very

injured tonight, is what I would say. It is a bit of the

manipulation. Maybe the federation got it wrong, but it was a

surprising win none the less. This guy has come from almost unknown.

He has run some quick times this year suddenly, and dominated the

Olympic final, although Kiprop was injured. A long way out. He ran

12.6, and 12.4, they were the 200m sections, then he built up the

massive gap and eased off at the end but it was pretty impressive

stuff. The so pointing on a less not to have a Briton. Ross Murray

did really well, he was a real prospect. He is only just finding

out what this is all about. Andrew Baddeley was disappointing. Let's

not get too pessimistic. If let's head to Weymouth for the men's

windsurfing final and nick Dempsey looking to gain redemption after he

led first place slip to fourth place for years ago.

In Beijing, Sarah Ayton claimed her second Olympic gold medal, but that

she then had to watch her fiance suffer a final-day agony on the

water. Nick Dempsey, went out the water in

silver-medal position with a prospect of gold, but will finish

in fourth place. He will be absolutely devastated. It was

always going to be close today, and it is a case of not messing up. It

was tight today and we only had one lap so it made it very difficult,

yes, not quite today. He spend your whole life dreaming

about getting a gold medal. To be there, and to know that you could

have got a gold medal was brutal. as a couple they made a tough

decision. Sarah Ayton, on the verge of becoming one of the greatest

Olympic female sailors, stepped away from the sport so her husband

could focus on his Olympic dream. Am very lucky to have Sarah.

Without her, I could not do this Olympic campaign. It is my job to

look after the children and let him do what he needs to do. Hopefully

it is enough to make a difference. London 2012 and nick Dempsey was

Dempsey was on target for silver. My little boy, Thomas, he loves it

when I bring home and a medal for an event, and I did promise him a

would bring him a medal for this event. It is nice not to have

broken that promise. The Olympic final is off and begun. Can Great

Britain win silver? What is dart from Nick Dempsey. The Netherlands

look like they will just squeeze around Nick Dempsey. Nick Dempsey

is around and that position. He pumps hard to get into second.

Looking good for Great Britain. Olympic glory for the Netherlands

but Nick Dempsey, broken in Beijing and he promised silver to his son.

He has delivered. It has been a pretty difficult four years. I

always believed I would come here and do well. And to do it in front

of, you know, your home crowd, it doesn't get any better. Mission

completed, Olympic medal secured. Now it is time to return to family

Well done to Nick and to Sarah. The wind beneath his wings for sure.

Now, it is the underdog of the day and we have this! This flag-bearer

at the Opening Ceremony had a day to remember. He lined up against

Usain Bolt at the start of the 100 metres -- 200 metres. He reported

his own personal best, 2.5 seconds behind the winner, but if you do a

personal best, you cannot say what -- better than that! Will go on! --

well done. He now we're going to go through to

the other studio, and we will go and put our medals on the board. I

can show you the table as we go. Great Britain now on 40 it medals,

which is more than we got him Beijing. 22 gold medals. -- 48

Up you can do the bronze and then would you be so kind to do Victoria

Pendleton on the silver. Oh! I will do Nick Dempsey. You can do Steve.

You can do Carl Hester and. And Laura. There you go - Charlotte.

Laura Trott for you, and would you like to do Sir Chris Hoy? In the
