Day 14

:00:46. > :00:56.You will be beauty, and a teenage kicking superstar is the Olympic

:00:56. > :01:08.

:01:08. > :01:16.It is a lovely sight and we should savour it, the Olympic flame

:01:16. > :01:21.burning brightly, day 14. Almost over. 17 golds were given out today,

:01:21. > :01:26.17 dreams come true. That is the scene right now at the ExCel arena.

:01:26. > :01:34.It has been a day of boxing. We will be going there soon for

:01:34. > :01:44.Anthony Joshua's semi-final against Ivan Dychko's of Kazakhstan. And

:01:44. > :01:51.

:01:51. > :02:00.now it is time to introduce you to What a got he is. -- what a God he

:02:00. > :02:03.is. The gold medal is hers. That has been a great performance by the

:02:03. > :02:10.youngest British boxer ever to win a medal.

:02:10. > :02:15.A big hello tip Amir Khan, Ian Thorpe and javelin champion from

:02:15. > :02:19.1984, Tessa Sanderson. We had Daley Thompson yesterday, you here today,

:02:19. > :02:24.it is wonderful to see you. Thank you, I am loving it. It is

:02:24. > :02:32.fantastic. I cannot believe how well Team GB is doing. And you look

:02:32. > :02:42.almost exactly the same as you did? Thank you! A lot older now. Here is

:02:42. > :02:45.

:02:45. > :02:50.a taste of what is coming up We are live at the ExCel arena for

:02:50. > :02:55.his super-heavyweight clash. Anthony Joshua is hoping for a

:02:55. > :02:58.place in the semi-final. Lisa Dobriskey is looking to get

:02:58. > :03:02.herself in the medals for the 1,500m.

:03:02. > :03:08.Could Shanaze Reade and Liam Phillips dodge the dangers for the

:03:08. > :03:15.BMX? And what has happened to the Australians? A note of caution for

:03:15. > :03:19.Team GB. We have got great taekwondo action

:03:19. > :03:26.as well. Let's start with athletics. One of the feature races at any

:03:26. > :03:31.Olympics is the 1,500m. Following on from the victory in the men's

:03:31. > :03:36.race on Tuesday, all eyes were on the women. Lisa Dobriskey came an

:03:36. > :03:40.agonising 4th in Beijing, here she had high hopes for a medal. This

:03:40. > :03:47.has come after a remarkable return to fitness. She was told earlier

:03:47. > :03:51.this year to forget the Games after blood clots on her lungs. Laura

:03:51. > :04:01.Weightman recorded a personal best in qualifying and you cannot ask

:04:01. > :04:10.

:04:10. > :04:20.for more than that. Favourite for The early part of the race was very

:04:20. > :04:31.

:04:31. > :04:41.Jamal a shut it off and then another push. Look, oh, dear me? Is

:04:41. > :04:44.

:04:44. > :04:51.that Meggan Usain the again? the back straight. Where is Lisa

:04:51. > :05:01.Dobriskey? She has got a problem now. She will have to work and try

:05:01. > :05:05.

:05:05. > :05:11.and close the gap. She would have been able to work off the pace. Can

:05:11. > :05:17.Jamal summon something again? The Turkish athlete kicks again and

:05:17. > :05:21.Gamze Bulut also fighting to get there. It is turkey at the front.

:05:21. > :05:27.Asli Cakir Alptekin, the European champion is going to become the

:05:27. > :05:35.Olympic champion. Gamze Bulut takes the silver. That will be turkey's

:05:35. > :05:45.first ever Olympic athletics gold medal, men or women. A Turkish one,

:05:45. > :05:53.

:05:53. > :05:59.That was really messy the race, but I gave it my all. I try to stay

:05:59. > :06:03.with it but I find myself, I did not have there. I'm really pleased

:06:03. > :06:07.that I have got into the Olympic final and my first major

:06:07. > :06:11.championship. I have nothing to complain about. I believe there is

:06:11. > :06:15.more from in the future and this is a good path -- platform to push me

:06:15. > :06:18.on now. A head of the race people were talking about you as a

:06:18. > :06:22.potential medallist, where you going in with that same kind of

:06:22. > :06:28.confidence? Definitely. It would have been a tough ask to get a

:06:28. > :06:33.medal but I always believed I could. I feel quite dejected and a bit

:06:33. > :06:38.disappointed now. Thank you for talking to us. Thank you.

:06:38. > :06:43.I think Laura Weightman will take a lot from that going forwards. A one,

:06:43. > :06:47.two for Turkey, the winner, Asli Cakir Alptekin was banned for two

:06:48. > :06:51.years. Steve said it in commentary not the result the athletics result

:06:52. > :06:57.-- world would like to see. I hate that, when someone gets band and

:06:57. > :07:03.then brought back into the sport. Are you all given lifetime bans?

:07:03. > :07:07.is such a fine line, all this now. It is just getting ridiculous, I

:07:08. > :07:13.think. People are run out have chances, yes, but I am still for

:07:13. > :07:17.that, if you have done something like that then take it out of the

:07:17. > :07:23.sport. I hated it. I knew I was competing against people who had

:07:23. > :07:26.taken drugs and I thought I had worked so damn hard, I went out

:07:26. > :07:31.there, I would compete against people who had beaten me and it was

:07:31. > :07:38.not fair. Where are you on this? think the band should be a lot

:07:38. > :07:41.harsher than a two year ban. Whether it is a performance-

:07:41. > :07:45.enhancing drug which is put in someone's system and they to get

:07:45. > :07:49.themselves, we look at lifetime bans. This is what we should do.

:07:49. > :07:53.The only argument I can make for shorter bans is if you did not

:07:53. > :07:57.knowingly put something into your body. This is becoming a grey area

:07:57. > :08:02.now because the rules have now changed. If you can prove you did

:08:02. > :08:06.not put something in your body then you can get off and I do not like

:08:06. > :08:09.that either. I liked that when you were responsible for everything

:08:09. > :08:14.that went into your body and the testing result was judge of that. I

:08:14. > :08:19.thought it was a better role. a shame when it is such a blue

:08:19. > :08:25.Riband event as the 1,500m. Let's move on to speed and

:08:25. > :08:35.excitement of the relay final. The US were in lane seven, Jamaica in

:08:35. > :08:41.

:08:42. > :08:46.rise but gets off to a good start. So does Madison, the American is

:08:46. > :08:51.flying into the back straight. There goes Allyson Felix. They are

:08:51. > :08:55.being chased now by the Jamaicans. Sherone Simpson has a lot of work

:08:55. > :09:01.to do. The Americans are really going well here. On the third leg

:09:01. > :09:07.for the USA, Bianca night. She will hand over to Carmalita Jeter. This

:09:07. > :09:12.looks like the USA all the way. What can Kerron Stewart do? At the

:09:12. > :09:18.moment, nothing. The USA are storming away. Carmelita Jeter wins

:09:18. > :09:28.it for the USA, Jamaica in second. Ukraine in third. It is a new world

:09:28. > :09:29.

:09:29. > :09:34.record! They have beaten the East German's record which they set way

:09:34. > :09:42.back in 1985. That is one of the longest-lasting world records ever.

:09:42. > :09:52.It takes East Germany of the record books forever. What a final. USA

:09:52. > :09:53.

:09:53. > :09:57.get the gold medal in the women's Great Britain did not have a

:09:57. > :10:04.women's team because they messed up in the world championships. And

:10:04. > :10:11.talking of an Essex, the men's team tonight. -- talking of a mess UPS.

:10:11. > :10:16.I cannot believe it. We either drop the baton all run out of the box.

:10:16. > :10:20.Two of the infringements today. Adam Gemili is out of the box and

:10:20. > :10:25.then out of the lane. I thought it was a real shame for Adam Gemili

:10:25. > :10:31.because he is a youngster, his first major championships and I

:10:31. > :10:37.think inexperience, I felt, I am not an expert, should he have run

:10:37. > :10:45.the last leg. His hand was way up. There was no way he could have

:10:45. > :10:53.controlled. It is a real shame. is a shame because Gemili is a Big

:10:53. > :10:58.Star for the future and we hope. will have a lot of pressure because

:10:58. > :11:01.he is in London and he will have the crowd behind him and he will be

:11:01. > :11:06.nervous. The crowd that there has been brilliant, making anyone want

:11:06. > :11:11.to get up and go. I think he must have got a bit excited and anxious

:11:11. > :11:16.and poor devil, if he thought he had better go. It is straight

:11:16. > :11:21.forward in the pull. Relay changeovers, we took that thousands

:11:21. > :11:26.of a second. You can still do it wrong. It was but that was painful

:11:26. > :11:29.to watch. It is a bit that penalty shoot-outs. The baton and penalty

:11:29. > :11:36.shoot-outs, we cannot seem to get right. We just have to learn from

:11:36. > :11:39.it and put it right. The changeover in the 4 X 4 is more

:11:39. > :11:45.straightforward. Great Britain have not won a medal in 16 years but

:11:45. > :11:55.they qualified as third-fastest. We join in the last leg with Dai

:11:55. > :11:57.

:11:57. > :12:05.Greene handing over to Martin What is his flat speed like? Cuba

:12:05. > :12:11.have pulled up. There is a big gap. Look at the ground which is being

:12:11. > :12:18.eaten up by Jonathan Borlee. Can Dai Greene hang on and give Martin

:12:18. > :12:24.really a chance on the last lap? Trinidad are treading water. Here

:12:24. > :12:30.comes Dai Greene. Belgium have got a fantastic run on the last leg.

:12:30. > :12:35.The USA changeover first, then the Bahamas, then Trinidad and Tobago.

:12:35. > :12:43.What has Martin really got on this last leg? He is in 5th place at the

:12:43. > :12:50.moment. The USA are going for title number 17, Angelo Taylor has a huge

:12:50. > :12:56.amount of experience. His light rain and Mellor, a semi-finalist.

:12:56. > :13:02.Martyn Reaney is still in chance with a medal. -- Martin Rooney is

:13:02. > :13:10.still in with a chance of a medal. The Bahamas are challenging the

:13:10. > :13:15.United States. Martyn Rooney is into 4th, can he make a third?

:13:15. > :13:25.Bahamas will be the champions, USA second and Great Britain just run

:13:25. > :13:26.

:13:26. > :13:31.What an incredible gold for the Bahamas. They have 1% of the

:13:31. > :13:36.population of the US, and to produce a team like that was great

:13:36. > :13:39.to see. Clearly, the Americans have almost been put down to match

:13:39. > :13:44.before this competition so it was still a good run from them as well.

:13:44. > :13:51.The Caribbean and West Indian islands are doing so well. In years

:13:51. > :13:55.gone by, or the Bahamas have had good 400m runners as well. Not that

:13:55. > :13:59.I'm against the US, but it was a great surprise to see them win that.

:13:59. > :14:05.Our guys, it is a shame that they were behind. Dai Greene does not

:14:05. > :14:10.seem to have been on it in these Olympics. I think these days, the

:14:10. > :14:15.days of Roger Black and Kriss Akabusi and the 400m runners, I

:14:15. > :14:20.think tonight, Rini ran really well. He was looking for some kind of

:14:20. > :14:27.redemption. He ran a super leg but for the others, it was OK and we

:14:27. > :14:30.need more than OK. Let's move on now to the women's 5,000m and

:14:30. > :14:35.Ethiopian Tirunesh Dibaba was aiming for the double after winning

:14:35. > :14:41.the 10,000m a week ago. In fact, she was aiming for the Double

:14:41. > :14:45.Double, after her exploits four years ago. Her arrival was be

:14:45. > :14:55.Vivian Cheruiyot of Kenya, Jo Pavey and Julia Bleasdale of Britain. We

:14:55. > :14:59.

:14:59. > :15:03.join the race as it starts to wind- the screen. Here she comes up

:15:03. > :15:09.against her great rival, Meseret Defar. Has she got the power that

:15:09. > :15:15.she showed in the 10,000m? It really is important. Here comes

:15:15. > :15:22.Vivian Cheruiyot on the outside. Meseret Defar is on the outside. Is

:15:22. > :15:25.the champion going to defend her title? Meseret Defar, the former

:15:25. > :15:30.Olympic champion. Tirunesh Dibaba, the current Olympic champion. They

:15:30. > :15:38.are fighting hard to make history. Vivian Cheruiyot is gathering

:15:38. > :15:42.confidence. The Kenyon is close now. Dibaba is under pressure. Vivian

:15:42. > :15:47.Cheruiyot is looking for a bit of run. Now the two of them go toe-to-

:15:47. > :15:50.toe down the home straight. If it will be Meseret Defar. Vivian

:15:50. > :15:58.Cheruiyot finishing quickly. Meseret Defar, after winning here

:15:58. > :16:05.years ago, comes back to take the Olympic title. What a shock. Vivian

:16:05. > :16:15.Cheruiyot, then to Barber. 7th for Jo Pavey and Bleasdale in eighth

:16:15. > :16:21.

:16:21. > :16:28.place. A good run from the two believe it because she has been

:16:28. > :16:36.second best to drum up for so long, and then Cheruiyot previously. --

:16:36. > :16:40.second best to Tirunesh Dibaba. Something of a surprise winner, but

:16:40. > :16:50.Tirunesh Dibaba, just not for her tonight. That historic double-

:16:50. > :16:50.

:16:50. > :16:55.double? No. Absolutely incredible! I cannot remember if they are twins.

:16:55. > :17:02.Every time I see those little girls run, so much strength. They are

:17:02. > :17:07.fantastic. And they train hard. You know what it is like? Yes. I am

:17:07. > :17:12.sure they trained very, very hard, getting up early in the morning.

:17:12. > :17:17.are talking over 120 miles a week. That is incredible! But the

:17:17. > :17:27.strength when you see them running, and sort of like the hunker of

:17:27. > :17:30.

:17:30. > :17:40.wanting it. You can see every time they run. And Tirunesh Dibaba, who

:17:40. > :17:42.

:17:42. > :17:52.Bob won it... Well, she didn't. hoping -- I hope it in time we will

:17:52. > :17:58.

:17:58. > :18:01.be able to step up. I really feel that he could do the double. It is

:18:01. > :18:06.great he took his stride pattern by the horns and changed it and got

:18:06. > :18:13.the gold. He has got so much more confidence, Mo Farah, and I think

:18:13. > :18:19.he will get it. You love him, don't you? Yes, Mo is a good friend and

:18:19. > :18:24.he will have the crowd behind him. I love him. It has shown tonight

:18:24. > :18:28.with Tirunesh Dibaba that it is not easy to get that double. And if we

:18:28. > :18:34.are talking about crowds and that sort of thing, they can play havoc

:18:34. > :18:41.with athletes. You don't know what the response will be. A noisy crowd

:18:42. > :18:48.there, but all of the venues. But it worked! Right on cue! It was the

:18:48. > :18:53.men's pole vault final tonight. Some good performances, and Steven

:18:53. > :18:59.Lewis managed to finish 5th overall. He will be disappointed but I think

:18:59. > :19:09.he did very well. The competition is always tough. And a new Olympic

:19:09. > :19:11.

:19:11. > :19:18.record tonight for the winner, Renaud Lavillenie. Outstanding! I

:19:18. > :19:22.think our guy should be really pleased. It was a fantastic win for

:19:22. > :19:26.Greg Rutherford in the long jump. Are you satisfied the field events

:19:26. > :19:31.we have are coming through and that we are pushing the talent in the

:19:31. > :19:36.right direction? I am not exactly satisfied. It is good to see some

:19:36. > :19:42.of our bills coming through, the hammer throw and things like that.

:19:42. > :19:45.-- our girls. Unfortunately we did not get any medal. I was devastated

:19:45. > :19:53.for Goldie Sayers. I did not know whether I would make the decision

:19:53. > :19:57.to say, no, don't go in. Would you not even have started? Seeing her

:19:57. > :20:05.throat, that was nothing like her at all and I don't know whether one

:20:05. > :20:13.should have made the decision to say, no, the injury is too bad. --

:20:13. > :20:22.seeing her throw. I saw nothing like that, bless her. She had to

:20:22. > :20:27.have thrown away in the 60s to clinch the position. She probably

:20:27. > :20:32.could have got a medal if she had been OK. Sophie Hitchon was

:20:32. > :20:36.throwing tonight as well. She qualified in 10th. A former

:20:36. > :20:44.ballerina, and there is a transference of skills! Tonight,

:20:44. > :20:48.sadly, she finished 12 out of 12, but what an experience, the final,

:20:48. > :20:55.and what an experience for her. You throw a personal best and get into

:20:56. > :21:00.the Olympic Games. Yes. Getting to the finals and getting in is great.

:21:00. > :21:05.But I have yet to put my finger on it. I don't know whether it is the

:21:05. > :21:12.type of training we are doing, as such. Not even the hours, but the

:21:12. > :21:17.technicalities. Not just the power. She was a ballerina and the speed

:21:17. > :21:24.worked well for me. The supporters would have helped her. But also the

:21:24. > :21:34.aggression and hunger. Tatyana shen Co ended up with the gold. Let's

:21:34. > :21:36.

:21:36. > :21:41.have a look at her. -- Tatyana Tatyana Lysenko. -- Tatyana Lysenko.

:21:41. > :21:51.I think going from a hammer thrower to a ballerina - that would be

:21:51. > :21:58.

:21:59. > :22:05.interesting as well! sports the other day. Because

:22:05. > :22:10.Caroline Wosniacki was talking about how she loved the gymnastics

:22:10. > :22:14.and she meant the rhythmic gymnastics. We are going to do a

:22:14. > :22:20.bit more later on and we can talk about mashing up many other sports,

:22:20. > :22:30.but it is live boxing now - Anthony Joshua. He has already proved he

:22:30. > :22:50.

:22:50. > :22:59.He really has been a remarkably rapid rise. Auto shot by Joshua!

:22:59. > :23:04.is now a guaranteed Olympic medallist. -- what a shot. Yeah,

:23:04. > :23:10.super heavyweight Anthony Joshua, and, of course, he is one of the

:23:10. > :23:15.magnificent seven fighting in London. The guarantee of a medal

:23:15. > :23:21.and we will catch up with the others later. Freddie Evans and

:23:21. > :23:29.Anthony Ogogo. But now is all about Anthony Joshua. The atmosphere

:23:29. > :23:39.there, well, it has been electric tonight. Soaking it up and calling

:23:39. > :24:18.

:24:18. > :24:28.Great Britain, Anthony Joshua! Joshua has received ahead of this

:24:28. > :24:35.

:24:35. > :24:39.super-heavyweight final. In front minute round in this Olympic semi-

:24:39. > :24:47.final between the box-set in blue, representing Britain. Anthony

:24:47. > :24:55.Joshua. And his opponent, the tallest boxer in the tournament,

:24:55. > :25:04.representing Kazakhstan. Anthony Joshua stands 6 ft 6 but he is

:25:04. > :25:10.towered over by a good tour and a half inches by his opponent. 6 ft 9.

:25:10. > :25:18.-- a good 2 and a half inches. Anthony Joshua, the reigning world

:25:18. > :25:24.silver medallist from Azerbaijan last year. Yes. A new situation for

:25:24. > :25:30.Joshua here, in that year's Boxing somebody significantly taller. --

:25:30. > :25:36.in that he is boxing. Don't let him settle into his own rhythm behind

:25:36. > :25:46.that jab. With the boxing distance, he has to close that gap down. And

:25:46. > :25:46.

:25:47. > :25:56.then throw that right hand. four seeds made it through to the

:25:56. > :26:02.semi-finals. Again, Joshua being cheered to the rafters by the fans

:26:02. > :26:06.here at the ExCel Centre in London. East London, London's Docklands,

:26:06. > :26:13.but everybody getting behind Anthony Joshua from Finchley in

:26:13. > :26:17.North London, and competing at a home and Olympic Games. These two

:26:17. > :26:23.have sparred many times and Anthony Joshua does get the better of those.

:26:23. > :26:27.But this is different. It is a semi-final of the Olympic Games. It

:26:27. > :26:33.could come down to is in the better physically and mentally strong

:26:33. > :26:39.shape. I think that his Anthony Joshua were. Demonstrating

:26:39. > :26:45.wonderful movement. He worked effectively on the back foot and

:26:45. > :26:49.the front, showing a wide variety of shots, and because of that

:26:50. > :26:55.towering height, no opponent has been really successful at putting

:26:55. > :27:00.him under pressure. But Anthony Joshua, one of the strongest

:27:06. > :27:13.the temperament to do that. wants time and space. That is why

:27:13. > :27:23.Anthony has to put him under pressure. The third contest for

:27:23. > :27:30.

:27:30. > :27:35.both of these boxes. A good Rover has 1-2. Right-left. Joshua,

:27:35. > :27:42.operating out of the centre ring into a clinch. The end to the first

:27:42. > :27:52.round of boxing and there is nothing between them. It is tied at

:27:52. > :28:01.

:28:01. > :28:08.gets caught with their right hand. In this situation comedy comes back

:28:08. > :28:15.with a clever short, mid-range punch. -- in this situation, he

:28:15. > :28:25.comes back. Look at the height and reach by both boxers, but there he

:28:25. > :28:37.

:28:37. > :28:47.bit more pressure. Into the second round we go in these men's 91 kilos

:28:47. > :28:52.plus heavyweights semi-final. Anthony Joshua, wearing blue,

:28:52. > :28:58.representing Great Britain. And his opponent, from Kazakhstan, who has

:28:58. > :29:06.been put under serious pressure in the first round. Beginning to get

:29:06. > :29:13.through with hard lefts and rights. Can the jab and a range find him?

:29:13. > :29:23.He has to bring that right and home. Beautiful left hand to finish that.

:29:23. > :29:25.

:29:25. > :29:34.That from Joshua. He just has to allow his head to clear. Anthony

:29:34. > :29:44.Joshua, 6 ft 6. Towering figure of a boxer. And his opponent has a

:29:44. > :29:45.

:29:45. > :29:55.good 1-2 of his own. The third out for both boxers here at the semi-

:29:55. > :30:08.

:30:08. > :30:13.at the quarter-final stage. Anthony Joshua were had a really difficult

:30:13. > :30:17.encounter against his Cuban opponent. Just getting over the

:30:17. > :30:20.finish line in front before producing a winning good

:30:20. > :30:26.performance to eliminate the reigning Olympic silver medallist

:30:27. > :30:36.from China. He dropped him heavily during the course of that contest.

:30:37. > :30:41.

:30:41. > :30:48.So we are here at the semi-final Josh has to upset that rhythm. He

:30:48. > :30:52.has to take him out of his comfort zone. He is starting to work better.

:30:53. > :30:59.When he is able to do that as he has been in his opening two bouts,

:30:59. > :31:03.he is a very difficult proposition indeed. Anthony Joshua started the

:31:03. > :31:10.round by disrupting the routine that Ivan Dychko was displaying.

:31:10. > :31:20.is waiting too long. He has got to get back on that front foot, work

:31:20. > :31:21.

:31:21. > :31:31.with that jab, and set himself up for the big red. Ivan Dychko popped

:31:31. > :31:39.

:31:39. > :31:44.Ivan Dychko has settled into a rhythm and boxed effectively. That

:31:44. > :31:54.is why the scoreline remains tied. It was four points apiece. After

:31:54. > :32:01.

:32:01. > :32:06.one round of boxing, it is tied at been a point up going into this

:32:06. > :32:13.last round. Ivan Dychko definitely came back in that last minute also.

:32:13. > :32:23.He landed with a shot. Joshua slowed his feet down and neglected

:32:23. > :32:36.

:32:36. > :32:43.construction, be more active with it. Trough, come on. -- Josh, come

:32:44. > :32:48.on. The crowd I doing their best to raise the activity limit of Anthony

:32:48. > :32:52.Joshua. He is three minutes away from a place in the gold medal bout

:32:52. > :32:57.but the boxer wearing red from Kazakhstan is equally determined to

:32:57. > :33:02.book his place in the final as well. Two are highly skilled amateur

:33:02. > :33:06.boxers competing for all they are worth on the grandest stage of all.

:33:06. > :33:10.It is the Olympic Games, the games of the 30th Olympiad here in London

:33:10. > :33:15.and their contest is tied at eight points apiece after two rounds of

:33:15. > :33:23.boxing. The winner will progress to the gold medal bout. The other

:33:23. > :33:33.person will have to settle for bronze. There were cries of Joshua,

:33:33. > :33:37.Joshua, wringing out all around the ExCel Arena in Docklands.

:33:37. > :33:44.fantastic boxing match. I think Ivan Dychko is more vulnerable when

:33:44. > :33:49.he is put under pressure. That is what Anthony Joshua has to do. That

:33:49. > :33:58.was a super punch from Joshua. There was a trace of punch coming

:33:58. > :34:06.from his nose. The stinging left to jab is starting to increase the

:34:06. > :34:11.flow of blood. How much will that change things? The momentum now is

:34:12. > :34:15.beginning to tilt in Joshua's favour. Ivan Dychko is keen to hold

:34:15. > :34:25.on in the centre ring. It is important he starts to double up

:34:25. > :34:26.

:34:26. > :34:29.his attacks. He has to go again, Ronald. Four years ago, when James

:34:29. > :34:35.DeGale was winning his Olympic title, Anthony Joshua was not even

:34:35. > :34:40.watching. He knew next to nothing about amateur boxing. He only

:34:40. > :34:45.started boxing when he followed his cousin who won a heavyweight title

:34:45. > :34:49.down to Finchley Boxing Club in north London. In the space of four

:34:49. > :34:56.years, he stands just over a minute away from NO-SPACE in the Olympic

:34:56. > :35:02.boxing finals. -- from a place in the Olympic boxing finals. Ivan

:35:02. > :35:08.Dychko is definitely tired. This will suit him, this rest. He is

:35:08. > :35:13.holding now. That blood is the result of those fast jabs from

:35:13. > :35:19.Joshua. The momentum is with the man in blue. He has to step on the

:35:19. > :35:24.gas. The Fellow in red is tiring. We are inside the final minute of

:35:24. > :35:29.this Olympic semi-final. Anthony Joshua of Great Britain is doing

:35:29. > :35:34.his utmost to book his place in the Olympic super-heavyweight semi-

:35:34. > :35:41.final, in an effort to emulate Audley Harrison who took the title

:35:41. > :35:45.in 2000. Ivan Dychko is on the retreat. That was a good right

:35:45. > :35:55.uppercut on the inside from Joshua. The momentum has tilted in Joshua's

:35:55. > :35:57.

:35:57. > :36:03.favour. He is proving impossible to discourage. He is different on the

:36:03. > :36:07.back for it. This is Anthony Joshua's round now. If he wins this

:36:07. > :36:16.round he will have won the contest. He has definitely scored with more

:36:16. > :36:25.punches. Inside the closing seconds. He is finishing in strong fashion.

:36:25. > :36:29.A three punch combination. As he returns to his blue corner, Anthony

:36:29. > :36:36.Joshua has surely done enough to book his place in the Olympic

:36:36. > :36:41.super-heavyweight final. Ivan Dychko was a formidable adversary.

:36:41. > :36:49.He is the tallest man in the tournament. Anthony Joshua produced

:36:49. > :36:54.a spirited effort in the final round. Joshua's desire was perhaps

:36:54. > :36:58.greater, his fitness was perhaps superior and he got home with the

:36:58. > :37:05.more accurate punches in that crucial, critical third and final

:37:05. > :37:10.round. Joshua certainly sensed he was starting to get through. That

:37:10. > :37:16.gave him the momentum. He kept going forward. For me, there was

:37:16. > :37:26.only one winner in that round, that man bear. Both boxers now standing

:37:26. > :37:27.

:37:27. > :37:34.awaiting the decision. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner with 13

:37:34. > :37:40.points to 11, in the blue corner, Anthony Joshua! Anthony Joshua is

:37:40. > :37:44.beaming from ear to ear, because he has just booked his place in the

:37:44. > :37:48.Olympic super-heavyweight gold medal bout. He is through to the

:37:48. > :37:52.Olympic final. He is guaranteed at least a silver medal and just

:37:53. > :37:58.listen to the reception, the ovation, that he is receiving from

:37:58. > :38:04.this ExCel crowd that is filled to capacity. He takes his time to

:38:04. > :38:07.acknowledge the support he is receiving and how crucial was that

:38:07. > :38:13.support in inspiring, in encouraging Anthony Joshua over the

:38:13. > :38:17.finishing line because the bout was tied at eight points apiece.

:38:17. > :38:25.Anthony Joshua summoned up a supreme effort. He beat his chest

:38:25. > :38:28.in celebration because he has just booked his place in the Olympic

:38:28. > :38:34.super-heavyweight about. Celebrations in the blue corner.

:38:35. > :38:41.Their man has done it. He has the chance to emulate Audrie -- Audley

:38:41. > :38:47.Harrison may become the Olympic champion. Anthony Joshua is an

:38:47. > :38:51.Olympic finalist. Let's not forget Robert McCracken, the national

:38:51. > :38:57.coach. He has produced three finalists here at these Games.

:38:57. > :39:02.Congratulations. What a wonderful scene here at the ExCel Arena in

:39:02. > :39:07.London. Anthony Joshua continues to be cheered as he makes his exit. He

:39:07. > :39:11.makes his exit from the arena knowing he will be back here on

:39:11. > :39:17.Sunday to compete in the final contest of the Olympic Games boxing

:39:17. > :39:21.tournament. That is the privilege, the honour of afforded to the

:39:21. > :39:31.super-heavyweight final list. Well done, Anthony Joshua. You are in

:39:31. > :39:35.

:39:35. > :39:39.What a night for British boxing. We have seen Fred Evans secure a place

:39:39. > :39:43.in the final on Sunday, now this man has made it through to an

:39:43. > :39:50.Olympic final. Was that the game plan to that, to wear your opponent

:39:50. > :39:57.down? A bit. Once again, the best atmosphere I have ever boxed in. It

:39:57. > :40:00.has boosted us up. I dedicate a win to my captain, he is a legend.

:40:00. > :40:07.Unfortunately, he did not get the decision against the Mongolian so

:40:07. > :40:12.that is for Tom. What did they say to going into that round, go for

:40:12. > :40:18.it? Never just go for it. Used all your attributes and get the win.

:40:18. > :40:23.I'm glad it paid off, I was determined to get the win. Once you

:40:23. > :40:27.got the job working, you had the big man in serious trouble. He is a

:40:27. > :40:34.great fighter. I took it away from him, I thought I would box at my

:40:34. > :40:40.distance instead of his. defending champion showed big heart

:40:41. > :40:47.in the previous final by coming back to win, are you ready to win?

:40:47. > :40:52.I will be on Sunday. I know we talk bedroom finals, but this is a dream,

:40:52. > :40:57.isn't it, a London boy, London Olympic final? I am buzzing but I

:40:57. > :41:01.have got to ride that steady roller coaster. I cannot get too high.

:41:01. > :41:05.When it goes wrong, I will not get to lead. Focus on Sunday. I hope

:41:05. > :41:09.you can come out on Sunday and support us. You are guaranteed a

:41:09. > :41:14.silver but you're going for gold. Thank you.

:41:14. > :41:18.Well done to Anthony Joshua and he will fight the defending champion.

:41:18. > :41:23.He beat him last year in the world championship quarter-final so he

:41:23. > :41:27.has got that in his head. That will help him be on his side because he

:41:27. > :41:30.will know how to beat him. He knows what his style is all about so why

:41:30. > :41:35.am sure he will go into the fight confident and after beating him

:41:35. > :41:40.last year, that will give him an excellent -- an extra confidence.

:41:40. > :41:44.He boxed really well today. The Kazakhstan opponent was a lot

:41:44. > :41:49.taller than him. The first two rounds were very close. They were

:41:49. > :41:53.tied. That is right. In the first- round he seemed very nervous.

:41:53. > :41:58.Slowly, his nerves seemed to settle. In the last round, I'm sure he was

:41:58. > :42:03.told to put the pressure on and push the Kazakhstan the back and he

:42:03. > :42:08.won by two points. This was from the last round when Ivan Dychko got

:42:08. > :42:12.a bloody nose as well. It does not matter if you get someone's nose

:42:12. > :42:16.bloodied because you put the pressure on and try and hurt them a

:42:16. > :42:24.little bit more because you know the person is hurt anyway. You can

:42:24. > :42:30.see he was very hurt there. surprised me a bit earlier on, Ian

:42:30. > :42:35.Thorpe, you were a bit of a boxer in your day? I boxed. I just worked

:42:35. > :42:40.out, if I had boxed in the Olympics I would be in the super-heavyweight

:42:40. > :42:45.division which is probably why I boxed in private. You can laugh but

:42:45. > :42:49.seriously, the movements in boxing, use the same muscles as you do in

:42:49. > :42:54.swimming. For a higher intensity, I loved it, loved boxing. I did not

:42:54. > :42:59.love it when they hit me back so I hit them back harder. So you did

:42:59. > :43:06.not just do the training? No, I learnt how to do it from a boxing

:43:06. > :43:13.coach. Don't be surprised to see him in the next Olympics!

:43:13. > :43:19.It is the over 91, not the A grade category. Are you saying I am

:43:19. > :43:22.told?! He has been learning to speak Yorkshire because he is a bit

:43:22. > :43:28.aggrieved with Yorkshire being above Australia in the medal table

:43:28. > :43:38.but we will talk about that later on. Now for some Olympics sport

:43:38. > :43:48.

:43:48. > :43:52.Sorry, we could not resist it, it was the final of the BMX. Great

:43:52. > :43:56.Britain's Shanaze Reade was looking to right the wrongs of Beijing

:43:56. > :44:04.Wenxiu crashed at in the final. And for Liam Phillips it was a chance

:44:04. > :44:09.to improve on his 2008 quarter- final. -- when she crashed out in

:44:09. > :44:13.the final. This is fast and furious and high-energy. It is one of the

:44:13. > :44:18.only action sports to make the summer Olympics programme. Do not

:44:18. > :44:28.look away because anything can happen. Ladies and gentlemen, this

:44:28. > :44:32.

:44:32. > :44:39.It is a fantastic start. They are showing everyone a clean pair of

:44:40. > :44:44.heels. The Olympic velodrome behind a has

:44:44. > :44:50.already proved a happy hunting ground for Team GB and here at the

:44:50. > :44:54.BMX track, Britain's hopes are high. They rest on Shanaze Reade and Liam

:44:54. > :45:04.Phillips. Cometh the hour, cometh the woman,

:45:04. > :45:06.

:45:06. > :45:12.Shanaze Reade. Today is finals and understand. The top three go to the

:45:12. > :45:17.finals. Liam Phillips was looking really good for such Shanaze Reade,

:45:17. > :45:22.I'm sure she will be one of the top once. It is mental confidence and

:45:22. > :45:28.belief that you will make that turn first, you will not hesitate and

:45:28. > :45:31.you will not give way. This is the first of the three runs.

:45:31. > :45:41.Heat one is the semi-finals, one where Shanaze Reade it is important

:45:41. > :45:51.

:45:51. > :46:01.Nice, easy, finish straight. first of the men's semi-finals.

:46:01. > :46:02.

:46:02. > :46:12.Expect a big roar here. Liam Phillips. He has gone down. If oh,

:46:12. > :46:16.

:46:16. > :46:26.massive, massive crash! Liam safely through. The second of heat one.

:46:26. > :46:31.

:46:31. > :46:40.Another great start for Shanaze. Neck and neck down the last

:46:40. > :46:48.straight. Smart riding there by Filippidis. And the third race of

:46:48. > :46:58.the semi-finals. -- smart riding there by Phillips. As Liam Phillips

:46:58. > :47:00.

:47:00. > :47:09.makes his way up into third she can her if she wants. So, Liam Phillips

:47:09. > :47:16.has done enough. Looking good for the British riders. And then in

:47:16. > :47:20.lane one, she has been in this position before in Beijing. Shanaze

:47:20. > :47:29.on the inside but coasting at the back. She is getting caught in

:47:29. > :47:34.traffic. Bitter disappointment for Shanaze Reade. Today's schedule has

:47:34. > :47:41.been pretty hard with back-to-back laps. I have just tried to stay

:47:41. > :47:44.focused and do my best. Today it just wasn't to be. The gate is down

:47:44. > :47:54.and it is a fantastic start for Liam Phillips. Liam Phillips in

:47:54. > :48:00.bronze... Liam Phillips is down! Maris Strombergs is a double

:48:00. > :48:04.Olympic medallist. The best start of my life. That is what you aim to

:48:04. > :48:10.do at the Olympics but you cannot compete with them if you make a

:48:10. > :48:13.mistake. So, sadly no a British medal on two wheels today, but

:48:13. > :48:23.hopefully they have inspired a new generation to take up this exciting

:48:23. > :48:25.

:48:25. > :48:34.Down there at the BMX, they have more medics to than at any other

:48:34. > :48:40.sport, over 24 stop and over half of them are anaesthetists. Brittle.

:48:40. > :48:47.-- brutal. Yes. You see some of those crashes. I saw a girl

:48:47. > :48:51.crawling because she couldn't walk and she was concussed today. Not

:48:51. > :48:58.the best performance today for Shanaze Reade. She looked boxed-in

:48:58. > :49:07.as well. The start seems to be integral as well? Yes. And she had

:49:08. > :49:17.a higher frequency than usual. fan? I liked the BMX when I was

:49:17. > :49:25.little. They look like they have the smallest bricks, though! But it

:49:25. > :49:29.is so recent. No such thing back before 1984. Absolutely not! But it

:49:30. > :49:34.really is exciting to have something like this now. For

:49:34. > :49:44.youngsters can do can recognise this. And there are all having a

:49:44. > :49:49.global stock -- the youngsters. -- and they are all having a go.

:49:49. > :49:54.like boxing. I think every sport is dangerous. An element of it. And

:49:54. > :50:00.that is what drives us. sometimes we play to save him. We

:50:00. > :50:07.have to get out there and have a go. Don't stand in the wake of Tessa's

:50:07. > :50:13.javelin! Today, Britain's hockey team met

:50:13. > :50:23.New Zealand in the bronze-medal match. Could they get the heavy-

:50:23. > :50:38.

:50:38. > :50:48.corner. Yes! Perfect delivery from Kate Walsh. 1-0 for Great Britain

:50:48. > :50:48.

:50:48. > :50:51.and thoroughly deserved. Another penalty corner. Crista Cullen.

:50:51. > :50:59.Keeping the ball low but enough height off the ground to make it

:50:59. > :51:08.awkward for the goalkeeper. Another penalty corner! So upright. She has

:51:08. > :51:14.exposed both of her feet. And she will take the corner. Touched in!

:51:14. > :51:23.On the post! Absolutely brilliant! Brilliant control by Sarah Thomas,

:51:23. > :51:28.and that is what it means. And this is what it means to the Duchess of

:51:28. > :51:33.Cambridge. They have come here and shown real character and produced a

:51:33. > :51:38.really excellent performance. have always known that the hurt we

:51:38. > :51:42.have been through in the last 48 hours and there was no way we were

:51:42. > :51:48.going to leave with nothing today. So to get this today was such a

:51:48. > :51:51.reward. We have trained hard and we know each other inside out. We came

:51:51. > :51:56.to his game knowing we were ready and the best-prepared we could be

:51:56. > :52:06.and we have come away... We knew we were not leaving that pitch without

:52:06. > :52:17.

:52:17. > :52:22.OK, and here they are! Great Britain's Olympic bronze medal-

:52:22. > :52:30.winning team lining up for us outside the studio. What an

:52:30. > :52:33.incredible achievement. And the captain here, K Walsh. After that

:52:33. > :52:37.semi-final, could you have ever imagined the feeling of elation you

:52:37. > :52:41.have now? I knew the girls would do everything to make sure they got

:52:41. > :52:47.over that semi-final to be prepared for the bronze medal match and we

:52:47. > :52:52.have no doubt we would go home with a medal. A but the emotions, the

:52:52. > :52:56.swinging up-and-down, the tears the other night, and look at you now?

:52:56. > :53:03.think it just shows how professional we are and with sport,

:53:03. > :53:09.you have the highs and lows. will you take this lot with you?

:53:09. > :53:14.The support in the stadium has been wonderful! Unbelievable! 16,000

:53:14. > :53:19.people every time we walked out, shouting and chanting for us. It

:53:19. > :53:23.made a huge difference and it was amazing for them to be here for us

:53:23. > :53:33.tonight. It is so special for any athlete performing at a British

:53:33. > :53:33.

:53:33. > :53:37.Olympics. 20 years since for Britain's women have brought back a

:53:37. > :53:46.medal with a hockey. How awe- inspiring is that? Is it has been

:53:46. > :53:50.so awe-inspiring for me and I hope it will be for everybody else.

:53:50. > :53:59.woman have done so well. Congratulations. Give them a big

:53:59. > :54:04.cheer! Thank you so much for coming down. They can go off and celebrate.

:54:04. > :54:10.And we should tell you that Holland won their gold medal, beating

:54:10. > :54:20.Argentina. Let's go down to Weymouth, because

:54:20. > :54:20.

:54:20. > :54:29.yesterday there was no wind. Could the men and women unhook upgrade to

:54:29. > :54:39.gold? -- cut the men and women upgrade? -- could the men and

:54:39. > :54:50.

:54:50. > :54:58.The atmosphere is electric and there is Australia. It is the

:54:58. > :55:07.British team who have the stronger start. I am with Stuart's mum, and

:55:07. > :55:12.how are you coping? Terribly! is a boat between them and the

:55:12. > :55:20.Australians. The tension is almost unbearable. Everybody has their

:55:20. > :55:26.binoculars out. It is so, so close. The British team have gained.

:55:26. > :55:32.last lap, it could not be tied up. They have got to put a boat between

:55:32. > :55:39.themselves and the Australians. is gold number three for Australia.

:55:39. > :55:46.Great Britain, a superb competition. Olympic silver for Great Britain.

:55:46. > :55:56.John, it was not gold but your boy has Dom prowled? Absolutely! It is

:55:56. > :56:05.

:56:05. > :56:11.is done up here, and it is not gold but there is plenty of time. We are

:56:11. > :56:20.young boys and we will be coming back. The second of the day's

:56:20. > :56:25.medals deciders were getting out on the water. The British team have

:56:25. > :56:35.had a great start. They had boats around them so they had to go left

:56:35. > :56:37.

:56:37. > :56:44.and now what is just a case of which side is going. It is London

:56:44. > :56:50.Olympic gold for the New Zealand team. Olympic silver for Hannah

:56:51. > :56:56.Mills and Saskia Clark. We have had a wicked 18 months. When we started

:56:56. > :57:03.sailing, we put everything in, so to come away with a metal, it has

:57:03. > :57:10.been up and down and a wear. We have had a wicked time! -- and a

:57:10. > :57:14.away. So, double silver delight for

:57:14. > :57:24.Britain's sailors on the last day of the regatta. The party will last

:57:24. > :57:26.

:57:26. > :57:31.Well done to the 470s. My heart has just about got back to normal. But

:57:31. > :57:36.let's go downstairs because they are still partying there! The

:57:36. > :57:42.hockey girls! We may go down there tonight, so get your party gear on.

:57:42. > :57:51.That is for you, Ian! The sailing concludes tomorrow. Britain have

:57:51. > :57:59.won five medals, including Ben Ainslie's gold. Australia have had

:57:59. > :58:06.great success but their success there has masked not such a good

:58:06. > :58:13.performance overall. Sydney 2000 - Cathy Freeman's run

:58:13. > :58:19.United a whole nation. The Aussie swim squad established

:58:19. > :58:25.them as a global force. I cannot believe it! What a God he

:58:25. > :58:35.is! And the world took notice. In the medal table and again in Athens,

:58:35. > :58:36.

:58:36. > :58:41.punching way above the weight of were being exported across the

:58:41. > :58:48.sports market. So what has happened to the Aussies in 2012? Gone are

:58:48. > :58:57.the days when they will do pool. Many must have thought the medal

:58:57. > :59:06.table looked upside-down. There are at and downs and unfortunately, we

:59:06. > :59:12.seem to be on a downpours stop -- there are ups. -- we seem to be on

:59:12. > :59:16.a down. There has been a huge amount of soul-searching in the

:59:16. > :59:21.Aussie press this week. Questions over how much money is being

:59:21. > :59:27.ploughed into sport. Just 12 years after Sid be hosted the Olympic

:59:27. > :59:37.Games. Some are even stronger. -- after Sydney hosted the Olympic

:59:37. > :59:43.

:59:43. > :59:48.Games. Swimming has been a disaster. This -- the swimming bosses had

:59:48. > :59:52.home early to investigate. Australia Jim Reid dominates at the

:59:52. > :59:59.Olympic Games. Maybe it is this simple - other countries have

:59:59. > :00:05.caught up. Oh I think Australia is improving but other countries are

:00:05. > :00:10.improving fast. In many cases, may have employed our coaches. Britain

:00:10. > :00:18.had some wonderful small boat medals, and who coaches them?

:00:18. > :00:23.Australia. The Olympic time-trial coach is being coached by an

:00:23. > :00:28.Australian. It seems much of their top coaching talent has been

:00:28. > :00:34.poached by other nations. We shed our nation -- our knowledge with

:00:34. > :00:40.Great Britain and they are using it wisely. -- we shared our knowledge.

:00:40. > :00:45.A loss of coaches and inquiries already underway. Already they have

:00:45. > :00:54.slid out of the Olympics superpower league. Team GB must make sure that

:00:54. > :00:59.12 years from now, they will be at I think one of the important

:00:59. > :01:03.reasons we want to look at this because in three Olympics time, we

:01:03. > :01:07.want to grow one our performances and clearly there has been a

:01:07. > :01:12.retraction in terms of Australia. If you put medals on the table,

:01:12. > :01:16.there has been a slipping down the table. I thought I would have to

:01:16. > :01:20.learn all of this Yorkshire lingo because at one stage Yorkshire was

:01:21. > :01:25.ahead of us on the medal tally. There are lessons to be learnt here.

:01:25. > :01:28.I think everyone has assumed our programmes are better than they are

:01:28. > :01:33.as well. I think people have given us too much credit for programmes

:01:33. > :01:36.they think exist which do not really. Like identification of

:01:36. > :01:41.young athletes, I do not think we are doing a job which is good

:01:41. > :01:46.enough in that area. But looking at the last Olympics, going from

:01:46. > :01:51.Sydney, Athens and Beijing, we have 47 gold medals in those Olympic

:01:51. > :01:55.Games which is more than a third of our entire total in history. We are

:01:56. > :02:00.now 17 at this Olympics. I think we have seen a bit of the benefit from

:02:00. > :02:03.an increase in funding leading to the Sydney Olympics and that has

:02:03. > :02:07.flowed on to Athens and potentially a little bit of that went into

:02:07. > :02:11.Beijing. But I think we have stepped back. I think we used some

:02:11. > :02:15.sneaky images there because I know some of those athletes, the

:02:16. > :02:20.difference between agony and joy is quite close. And some of those

:02:20. > :02:25.athletes were happy with winning a silver medal. Are you saying that

:02:25. > :02:30.is a bad thing Oregon thing or OK? It does not seem to be the Aussie

:02:30. > :02:34.way. We seem to be used of the win at all costs. What has been

:02:34. > :02:38.terrible is when an athlete has been criticised for winning a

:02:38. > :02:42.silver medal. That is completely not right. Especially when an

:02:42. > :02:47.athlete has gone above what they expected. We are saying silver is

:02:47. > :02:50.not good enough. I think what has happened in Australia is we have

:02:50. > :02:54.become too accustomed to being too successful and assuming that these

:02:54. > :02:58.results will happen. A lot of hard work goes on to these results and

:02:58. > :03:04.we should be more appreciative. realise what special times they

:03:04. > :03:08.have. I do not want to embarrass you and say you were part of that

:03:08. > :03:14.in 20021004, exceptional athletes come along once in a lifetime and

:03:14. > :03:16.you were happy to have those kind of figures. We really have to look

:03:16. > :03:20.at what do you do for the individual athlete with their coach

:03:20. > :03:24.and get back to those kind of basics. One of the things I have

:03:24. > :03:29.liked with Team GB's programme is being able to allocate funds

:03:29. > :03:33.directly into something which is quite specific. Somebody being

:03:33. > :03:37.accountable for that. I think we have layers of bureaucracy in sport

:03:37. > :03:40.which detract from where some of the performances could go. I think

:03:40. > :03:46.there are lessons to be learned in the Australian model and what has

:03:46. > :03:50.happened. For Team GB looker what it does in the future. You have had

:03:50. > :03:54.Sally Pearson and Anna Meares, the Golden girls on the track cycling

:03:54. > :03:59.and Sally over the hurdles, rowing has been a bit disappointing,

:03:59. > :04:05.hasn't it and arguably, track cycling as well. And swimming. This

:04:05. > :04:09.is the big one. There have been some disappointing results. Within

:04:09. > :04:14.those results they have been some things where you go, maybe we were

:04:14. > :04:19.unlucky. Jack is winning the big disappointment for you? It probably

:04:19. > :04:23.is. And it is probably the disappointment for GB as well.

:04:23. > :04:29.disappointment is and the results. I'm not disappointed with the team.

:04:29. > :04:34.I am proud of the team. Especially in Australian swimming, our team

:04:34. > :04:37.actually is more than one competition. We have a history in

:04:37. > :04:42.this team and we will come back from this result. We will be

:04:42. > :04:50.working out exactly how to do it. We need you to be good, Tessa,

:04:50. > :04:56.because we like that competition, that Antipodean cousin we enjoy

:04:56. > :05:01.having a contest against. Yes, because there has been USA, USA,

:05:01. > :05:09.USA, we like having the Aussies in the competition and Team GB as well.

:05:09. > :05:13.We miss you, come back. Are you still swimming? I think the

:05:13. > :05:17.important conversation which needs to take place in Australia now and

:05:17. > :05:22.what needs to happen after the Games here in the UK is basically,

:05:22. > :05:26.what role will government play in sport? Icy government's role in

:05:27. > :05:31.sport is looking as putting as much money as possible into sport and

:05:31. > :05:35.across a number of spots and look at it as being one of the greatest

:05:35. > :05:38.preventative measures of decreasing the future health bill. I think

:05:38. > :05:43.over the next few weeks, one of the legacies here will be pressure on

:05:43. > :05:50.government to make sure that happens. Engage these kids who was

:05:50. > :05:55.so enthused. I totally agree. move on to taekwondo now. Lutalo

:05:55. > :06:05.Muhammad was selected ahead of world champion Aaron Cook completed

:06:05. > :06:11.today. Reached the quarter-finals. He was sadly beaten in the quarter-

:06:11. > :06:21.final by Nicolas Garcia Hemme from Spain. He then won the repechage to

:06:21. > :06:30.

:06:30. > :06:34.set up a fight for bronze. Here is 21-year-old Lutalo Muhammad from up

:06:34. > :06:40.the road in Walthamstow, if he can win a bronze here, Britain will

:06:41. > :06:44.have doubled its medal tally in the space of 24 hours. He calls himself

:06:44. > :06:51.an east London have. This is his part of the world, doing what he

:06:51. > :06:57.does best, doing what he does very well. First 30 seconds and he has

:06:57. > :07:04.caught the crown of the Armenian. Lutalo Muhammad is 4-1 up against

:07:04. > :07:09.the Armenian. He has gone for a big one there! He has got the big one.

:07:09. > :07:15.That might be costly for Armenia and very profitable for Great

:07:15. > :07:20.Britain. Lutalo Muhammad is less than two minutes away from claiming

:07:20. > :07:26.a bronze medal. Five miles from home, five miles from Walthamstow,

:07:26. > :07:31.they are cheering his name in the Olympic arena. The other man in the

:07:31. > :07:41.great taekwondo selection story has the last word and it is set in

:07:41. > :07:42.

:07:43. > :07:47.I am really great full and happy for this opportunity. I was able to

:07:47. > :07:51.come away with a medal. It is unfortunate that it was not God but

:07:51. > :07:56.I am grateful that I managed to get a medal. The crowd's reception was

:07:56. > :08:01.fantastic. The crowd was tremendous. I am a London boy so it makes it

:08:01. > :08:07.more sweeter. I really wanted to deliver and bring a gold medal home.

:08:07. > :08:12.I am happy I was able to get the bronze and excite the crowd a bit.

:08:12. > :08:17.Congratulations to Lutalo Muhammad won his bronze medal. There he is

:08:17. > :08:22.on the rostrum. All the furore which happened about Aaron Cook not

:08:22. > :08:27.been selected, it was nothing to do with Muhammad but it must have

:08:27. > :08:33.added pressure to his shoulders. There he is wearing his bronze, a

:08:34. > :08:38.great sight to see. The bronze medallist from Beijing, Sarah

:08:38. > :08:43.Stevenson, was sadly beaten in the first-round. Other news, Tom Bailey

:08:43. > :08:47.has qualified for tomorrow's ten- metre platform finals. He got

:08:47. > :08:52.through in 15th place and sadly his synchro partner Peter Waterfield

:08:52. > :08:58.missed out. Let's go back to boxing. Earlier,

:08:58. > :09:02.we saw Anthony Joshua reached the final. Let's see how the other

:09:02. > :09:12.finals went concerning our magnificent seven. First, we will

:09:12. > :09:12.

:09:12. > :09:18.seek bantamweight Luke Campbell. He has been in great form. He was well

:09:18. > :09:23.fancied against his opponent who serves in the Japanese army. He did

:09:23. > :09:32.not waste time to assert his authority. He powered through to

:09:32. > :09:36.win the first round. He took the third round to win by an impressive

:09:36. > :09:46.20 points to 11. Gold or silver is now guaranteed.

:09:46. > :09:53.

:09:53. > :09:57.He in the final he will face Jonjo What a fight in prospect. What an

:09:57. > :10:03.electric atmosphere that promises to be. We saw the Irish with Katie

:10:03. > :10:09.Taylor. That will be big. We know the Irish can make noises and the

:10:09. > :10:15.crowd will go crazy. You have a British fighter verses and Irish

:10:15. > :10:23.fighter. I had seen both fighters. They have faced each other before.

:10:23. > :10:27.Call it. If I have to call it I give it to the British fighter,

:10:27. > :10:32.Luke Campbell. He is a good friend of mine. I used to being amateurs

:10:32. > :10:37.within back in the day. He is a class fighter, strong and he had a

:10:37. > :10:42.great performance today. Both fighters are good. There is

:10:42. > :10:47.something tellingly that Luke Campbell will take the fight.

:10:47. > :10:53.good. Next up is welterweight Fred Evans.

:10:53. > :10:58.Standing in Fred's way and a shot that the gold is the reigning world

:10:58. > :11:02.champion, Taras Shelestyuk of the Ukraine. That would be a tough

:11:02. > :11:08.fight for Fred. Reputations did not intimidate him. He got off to a

:11:08. > :11:18.great start winning 4-1, then it was 4-4. We will join it with Fred

:11:18. > :11:21.

:11:21. > :11:25.in blue at the start of the last go in this welterweight semi-finals.

:11:25. > :11:31.As Fred Evans was about to move towards the centre of the boxing

:11:31. > :11:35.ring, you head encouragement being issued by his coach days away. He

:11:35. > :11:39.stands three minutes away from a place in the Olympic final full

:11:39. > :11:44.stark Taras Shelestyuk, the reigning world champion, the world

:11:44. > :11:49.number one and tournament number one seed is sure to mount a furious

:11:49. > :11:57.rally, in an effort to book his place in the gold medal bout. Evans

:11:57. > :12:02.is being encouraged by the capacity crowd once again. The tempo set by

:12:02. > :12:07.Evans has suited him down to the grant. He has got to keep it going

:12:07. > :12:12.now. He got caught with a shot their earlier but he must respond

:12:12. > :12:17.to his corner. He is fresh enough to do this. He has got to step on

:12:17. > :12:23.the gas. That is better. And a minute gone in this third and final

:12:23. > :12:27.round. Taras Shelestyuk continuing to find a way inside to land his

:12:27. > :12:33.own shot. A beautiful combination from Evans, finished with a

:12:33. > :12:39.corkscrew right hand. Excellent work from the young man from Wales.

:12:39. > :12:44.Taras Shelestyuk is closing his man down. Evans is remaining

:12:44. > :12:47.concentrated in this third round to date. He was in the third round

:12:47. > :12:57.against crustier Clayton in the quarter-finals when he appeared to

:12:57. > :12:58.

:12:58. > :13:03.switch off and which of -- Custio Clayton. That is better from Evans.

:13:03. > :13:08.He has got to keep the movement going. The gumshield came out there.

:13:08. > :13:14.He has got to keep the movement going here. That creates that

:13:14. > :13:19.elusive target. Then he must stand momentarily and fire two or three

:13:19. > :13:24.shots. That will keep the referee happy. The referee will want him to

:13:24. > :13:28.punch. Taras Shelestyuk chasing shadows as a new movement of Fred

:13:28. > :13:32.Evans continues to leave out of punching range and slightly

:13:32. > :13:42.bamboozled as we approached the final minute of this third round.

:13:42. > :13:47.

:13:47. > :13:57.Fred Evans first walked into a concentration or getting ragged. He

:13:57. > :14:08.

:14:08. > :14:13.must stay in the moment and remain right hook. Come on, Fred, keep

:14:13. > :14:17.working, you can do this, you can beat the world number one. What a

:14:17. > :14:21.momentous victory this would be but it is not in the back by a stretch

:14:21. > :14:30.of the imagination next. Taras Shelestyuk will continue to push

:14:30. > :14:34.until the final bell. Fred Evans must remain focused. The crowd are

:14:35. > :14:40.on hand here beginning to count down the closing seconds of this

:14:40. > :14:44.third and final round. As the bell sounds, Fred Evans raises his hand

:14:44. > :14:49.in celebration because he feels he has done enough and surely he has

:14:49. > :14:55.done enough to book his place in the welterweight gold medal bout

:14:55. > :15:00.here at the Games of the 30th Olympiad. Ladies and gentlemen, the

:15:00. > :15:06.winner by a score of 11 points to 10, in the blue corner, it

:15:06. > :15:10.representing Great Britain, Fred Evans. He has done it. Great

:16:30. > :16:30.

:16:31. > :16:40.gave it absolutely everything. -- he said.

:17:10. > :17:18.don't score and it is within a second that they have to press the

:17:18. > :17:22.buzzer. Not an exact science? Exactly. There have been a lot of

:18:02. > :18:07.medals for Team GB today. No gold can do the taekwondo there. And,

:18:07. > :18:12.Tessa, you can do the girls. People might be disappointed we have not

:18:30. > :18:31.

:18:31. > :18:41.for our 470 sailors. Anyway you can find his spot. Stop! They are old!

:18:41. > :18:47.Phew! And Stuart as well. While Tess is doing that, she might be

:18:47. > :18:54.here tomorrow. Thank you so much. Thank you for coming. Ian, it has
