:01:17. > :01:23.day five flickers to a close. That stadium in two nights will be busy.
:01:23. > :01:28.What a day it has been. The sport continues into the night,
:01:28. > :01:36.basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball and boxing are all going
:01:37. > :01:46.strong. It has been a wonderful day and a golden day for Team GB. These
:01:47. > :01:54.
:01:54. > :02:01.three legends on my sofa tonight Great Britain are on the line.
:02:01. > :02:11.Great Britain get the gold medal! Denise Lewis is the Olympic
:02:11. > :02:14.
:02:14. > :02:22.champion. One last time. Just! Matthew Pinsent, looking happy this
:02:22. > :02:30.evening. James Cracknell and Denise Lewis. It has occurred to me you
:02:30. > :02:39.were all at Sydney together. This is better than Sydney. We are on
:02:39. > :02:44.our marks, ready to go. Here is what is coming up tonight. The
:02:44. > :02:51.women lead the way as Helen Glover and Heather Stanning make history
:02:51. > :02:55.at it Eton Dorney. Bradley Wiggins had his sights set
:02:55. > :03:01.on becoming Britain's most decorated it Olympian in the
:03:01. > :03:06.cycling time trial. We are swimming when Great Britain
:03:06. > :03:15.have the chance of a gold medal in the men's 200-metre breaststroke.
:03:15. > :03:20.We have like boxing what the super- heavyweight featuring Great
:03:20. > :03:25.Britain's Anthony Joshua. Let's head to Eton Dorney were a
:03:25. > :03:30.piece of sporting history was in the making.
:03:30. > :03:35.In 18 minutes, Helen Glover and Heather Stanning could beat booking
:03:35. > :03:38.a place on the front page of every a place on the front page of every
:03:38. > :03:45.single newspaper. It is now, it is not going to be any other time, we
:03:45. > :03:50.have to do it now. The final chapter of what has been a
:03:50. > :03:57.remarkable story is under way. Great Britain have absolutely
:03:57. > :04:06.jumped out of the starting gate. It is game on. Great Britain settling
:04:06. > :04:11.into their rhythm. It is an exceptional start from Helen Glover
:04:11. > :04:17.and Heather Stanning, they are storming away. A couple of years
:04:17. > :04:26.ago they were the Spurs in the British team. Now they are on track
:04:26. > :04:31.to crown a fairy-tale story. 1,200 metres to go. We are right on the
:04:31. > :04:38.edge of our seats. It is stunning from Helen Glover and Heather
:04:38. > :04:48.Stanning. They move away with such power. Everybody now across the
:04:48. > :04:50.
:04:50. > :04:55.water in the stadium and the Grandstand are on their feet. They
:04:55. > :05:05.are the first Olympic gold medal for Team GB. No they are making
:05:05. > :05:09.
:05:09. > :05:16.history at Eton Dorney. Great Britain into the record books.
:05:16. > :05:21.Great Britain are the Olympic champions. Helen Glover, Heather
:05:21. > :05:27.Stanning, we stand up and we salute to, for the British rowing team and
:05:27. > :05:33.for the country as a whole. I am shattered but ecstatic at the same
:05:33. > :05:40.time. I want to collapse, but I am so overjoyed. I am probably talking
:05:40. > :05:47.rubbish now as well. If you can do it, in anything. If you try your
:05:47. > :05:54.best, absolutely anyone can do anything. What a triumph for them.
:05:54. > :06:04.It is great Britain's first gold medal of the Olympics. -- Great
:06:04. > :06:18.
:06:18. > :06:25.# Long to reign over us. # God save the Queen.
:06:25. > :06:30.What a way to get the day going. It was brilliant. The way they Road. I
:06:30. > :06:34.know it is their style to go all out and lead from the front. They
:06:34. > :06:39.did it in the World Championships and it did not come off, but they
:06:39. > :06:44.are brave? What has impressed us is the way they have matured, they
:06:44. > :06:48.have dominated this season. They have put themselves in a position
:06:48. > :06:54.where the opposition started ignoring them from quite early in
:06:54. > :06:58.the race. They took the nice lead and the opposition were fighting
:06:58. > :07:03.for the silver medal and left them to it. If you can get into that
:07:03. > :07:10.situation in a rowing race is fantastic. Helen Glover had not
:07:10. > :07:20.even been in a boat about four years ago. Are you saying it is not
:07:20. > :07:20.
:07:20. > :07:25.very hard to do? She responded to the sporting giants advertising
:07:25. > :07:30.campaign. Physiologically she is perfect and predispose to be a good
:07:30. > :07:34.rower. It is amazing that somebody could step into a boat and be such
:07:34. > :07:40.a natural? If you have the right coaching and right physiology to
:07:40. > :07:46.start with, it is a massive step up. They have developed the flexibility
:07:46. > :07:53.to adapt it been a race, because they have not road together for too
:07:53. > :07:56.long, which is something that comes over time. The New Zealand has
:07:56. > :08:01.caught them in the last few hundred metres in the World Championships.
:08:01. > :08:08.This year they have developed the flexibility to respond. And then
:08:08. > :08:13.they decided, we were just go and leads you of. Heather Stanning is
:08:14. > :08:18.in the army and she could end up in Afghanistan. Would that be the end
:08:18. > :08:24.of them? She is on leave at the moment? She took time away from the
:08:24. > :08:29.army to concentrate on her training. I spoke to have 48 hours ago and
:08:29. > :08:35.she said she was going back to work in September. I said, weight, this
:08:35. > :08:42.could be it, it could be your first and last Olympic final. She said I
:08:42. > :08:48.made a commitment to the army and I am going back in September. Just
:08:48. > :08:54.tell me there is nobody in Whitehall who would say that would
:08:54. > :08:58.be great PR for the army? They will continue and say, we will pay you
:08:58. > :09:03.your captain's salary, you don't have to go to Afghanistan, just
:09:03. > :09:08.carry on what you were doing. She said she did not want to think
:09:08. > :09:15.about that. Maybe she has the gold medal round her neck now, things
:09:15. > :09:20.will be different. You think how women's sport has changed in the
:09:20. > :09:26.last couple of years. In Atlanta we only had one medal across all of
:09:26. > :09:31.the sport. This is the first women's gold in rowing? Although
:09:31. > :09:37.rowing has been in the Olympics since 1896. The women were only in
:09:37. > :09:42.the rowing programme in 1976. It wasn't until 1988 that they were
:09:42. > :09:46.deemed capable of rowing the same distance. At least in tennis they
:09:47. > :09:52.don't play as many sets. The women's marathon is the same as if
:09:52. > :10:02.the men's marathon. It is the heritage of the men's rowing been
:10:02. > :10:08.such an Olympic sport the Great Britain. Katherine Grainger, are
:10:08. > :10:13.hoping to turn the silver medal into a gold medal this time. Before
:10:14. > :10:20.Steve won his first gold medal in 1984, the previous gold medal was
:10:20. > :10:25.in 1948. It is not as though we had always won the gold medal, it is
:10:26. > :10:33.only from 1984 we had that record, we went 40 years without one.
:10:33. > :10:39.has taken a while, but finally we have the gold medal. I have been
:10:39. > :10:46.waiting to use the cheesy music. Matthew Pinsent, you will put the
:10:46. > :10:50.Golden Arrow on Big Ben. You can go over and christened Big Ben. Words
:10:50. > :11:00.you have always wanted to hear. Matthew Pinsent will put the arrow
:11:00. > :11:08.
:11:08. > :11:12.over at Landzaat. -- Atlanta. Let's hope the total goes up every day
:11:12. > :11:16.from now on and maybe we cancer past Beijing false start now to
:11:16. > :11:21.cycling and the time trial hit the streets of London and Britain have
:11:21. > :11:27.high expectations in the men's and women's events.
:11:27. > :11:33.Bradley Wiggins and Lizzie Armistead were among the hopefuls.
:11:33. > :11:38.The country has been going mad. But do we go for the model, or do we go
:11:38. > :11:43.for the sideburns? For Bradley Wiggins -- Bradley Wiggins it is
:11:43. > :11:49.about ending up on the throne. The time trial is called the race
:11:49. > :11:54.of truth. As well as badly, we had Chris Froome who finished second in
:11:54. > :12:01.the Tour de France and in the women's race Emma Pooley was within
:12:01. > :12:11.a shout of a medal and during her was Lizzie Armistead. -- joining
:12:11. > :12:29.
:12:29. > :12:39.something in the closing stages if she wants to get on the podium.
:12:39. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :13:16.Emma Pooley lines up for the run to Marianne Vos. It looks as though
:13:16. > :13:21.Kristin Armstrong, the 38-year-old mother will maintain her title and
:13:21. > :13:28.retain the crown as Olympic champion and win her second Olympic
:13:28. > :13:34.gold medal. She is at the 50-metre mark. Coming up to the line.
:13:34. > :13:41.Armstrong of the USA wins the gold medal, taking 15 seconds off the
:13:41. > :13:51.time of the German, Judith Arndt he finishes in silver medal for Mr --
:13:51. > :13:51.
:13:51. > :13:57.position. Emma Pooley completes the course. Disappointment there Emma
:13:57. > :14:07.Pooley. Now all eyes turned to the men's race.
:14:07. > :14:08.
:14:08. > :14:18.It is the Olympic men's cycling time trial. Can Team GB get gold?
:14:18. > :14:23.# He wakes up in the morning. # It takes him time to adjust.
:14:23. > :14:29.# Getting sick and tired of the money...
:14:29. > :14:37.Bradley Wiggins gets under way. Unbeaten in a time trial this year.
:14:37. > :14:47.What an opportunity be him. A Londoner, but living in the North
:14:47. > :14:53.West now. Chris Froome, six seconds ahead of last and at the moment.
:14:53. > :15:02.Tony Martin, the 27-year-old who knows how to write a time trial.
:15:02. > :15:12.This is Bradley Wiggins. Here comes Chris Froome. 20 bars seconds
:15:12. > :15:15.
:15:16. > :15:21.faster than Rogers. Looking at the split time. 12 seconds quicker than
:15:21. > :15:31.Chris Froome, Tony Martin. Bradley Wiggins is going to go into the
:15:31. > :15:34.
:15:34. > :15:39.lead. 11 seconds faster than Tony Martin. He is the leader. It is
:15:39. > :15:45.only Bradley Wiggins now who can pressurise Tony Martin. This is
:15:45. > :15:52.impressive, Chris? 22 seconds between Bradley Wiggins and Tony
:15:52. > :15:59.Martin. Bradley Wiggins is leading the world champion, Tony Martin by
:15:59. > :16:08.22 seconds. Chris Froome taking left-hander and the crowd are
:16:08. > :16:11.cheering him at am. Chris Froome, the run up in the Tour de France
:16:11. > :16:17.goes into the lead. Bradley Wiggins is looking good as
:16:17. > :16:23.well. The man who has not lost any
:16:23. > :16:31.fluidity is Bradley Wiggins. He is poetry in motion. Tony Martin
:16:31. > :16:41.driving for the line. Tony Martin finishes. 51.21, gold medal
:16:41. > :16:44.
:16:44. > :16:50.winner of the Tour de France. He has six medals in the Olympics and
:16:50. > :16:58.it looks like court today. Have a look at the time. -- it looks like
:16:58. > :17:01.gold today. Bradley Wiggins is the Olympic champion. It is Bradley
:17:01. > :17:11.Wiggins' 4th gold medal and the 7th medal he has won in the Olympic
:17:11. > :17:17.Games. Ladies and gentlemen, your most decorated British Olympian.
:17:17. > :17:22.Just going through Kingston at the end, the noise was amazing. I don't
:17:22. > :17:25.think my sporting career will ever top that. What a month it has been.
:17:25. > :17:30.I won the Tour de France and the time trial at the London Olympic
:17:30. > :17:37.Games, it is never going to get any better. Incredibly, so many of
:17:37. > :17:42.these people are wearing sideburns. It is bad. We haven't seen this
:17:42. > :17:45.many it sideburns since Noddy Holder! It had to be gold today,
:17:45. > :17:50.what is the point in having seven medals if they are not the right
:17:50. > :17:54.colour? The main one is four, I have to carry on to Rio now and get
:17:54. > :18:00.number five. To be mentioned in the same breath as Steve Redgrave, it
:18:00. > :18:08.is an absolute honour. Sir Chris Hoy, to be up there with those guys
:18:08. > :18:13.as a British Olympian, it is very We're just about running out of
:18:13. > :18:17.superlatives. No man has ever won the Tour de France and Olympic gold
:18:17. > :18:22.in the same year. Indurain did it in separate years. It puts into
:18:22. > :18:32.context what he has achieved and what he has done to his body. From
:18:32. > :18:32.
:18:32. > :18:40.Beijing until now. I think you need a bit more power but he was 82
:18:40. > :18:49.kilos in Beijing. This race, 67 kilos. That is muscle and fat that
:18:49. > :18:54.he has lost. He is 4.5% body fat. He will be limited calories. He has
:18:54. > :19:01.lost 15 kilos, imagine strapping that to your bike and taking that
:19:01. > :19:07.up the Alps. And you will certainly about it. He had to do that in
:19:07. > :19:10.order to win. He did so well to keep the power that he needed today,
:19:10. > :19:16.Cancellara is a phenomenal time trialist. And Tony Martin, the
:19:16. > :19:22.world champion, and he showed them a clean pair of wheels. This puts
:19:22. > :19:28.him as the Olympic medallist with the most medals. It depends how you
:19:28. > :19:34.judge your Olympic success. I know that those from the rowing
:19:34. > :19:40.fraternity will say that the gold medals will add up some more. Could
:19:40. > :19:46.he set himself, he has to go for five -- he said himself. He is in
:19:46. > :19:50.such exalted company. Absolutely. I don't like these comparisons. He is
:19:50. > :19:54.a fantastic cyclist in his own right. Steve did what he did in
:19:54. > :20:01.Rome. We should just celebrate that we have great athletes, and these
:20:01. > :20:05.are role-models for people to emulate. Just great scenes, people
:20:05. > :20:08.watching him today, the crowd lining the route and his reaction.
:20:08. > :20:15.He has been really laid-back about it, almost like he really can't
:20:15. > :20:21.take it in. It is almost too good to be true, but fantastic. He did
:20:21. > :20:26.say, I was wandering, he said he took it in as he rode through
:20:26. > :20:32.Kingston and he had the crowds and he felt it and absorb it, which
:20:32. > :20:37.shows what presence of mind he has got, he made it look so easy.
:20:37. > :20:41.one of the things that we never had, competing in front of a home crowd.
:20:41. > :20:44.We have seen it at Eton Dorney, I am sure it will be true in the
:20:44. > :20:48.stadium when the athletics gets going. The British population are
:20:48. > :20:53.mad for the Olympics and so passionate about it. They are
:20:53. > :20:56.knowledgeable. I was talking to some of the foreign rowing fans and
:20:56. > :21:00.they said what is lovely about the crowd at Eton Dorney, they go crazy
:21:00. > :21:03.for the Brits but also really support everyone. They are really
:21:03. > :21:08.generous and a think I would have been true of the cycling today and
:21:08. > :21:12.all the events. It must be special, being a member of Team GB at the
:21:12. > :21:18.moment. Let's look at the odds for Sports Personality of the Year. He
:21:18. > :21:22.was already away with it after the Tour de France. There is really not
:21:22. > :21:28.much point putting any money on him at the moment. That is Jessica
:21:28. > :21:33.Ennis, without having performed. Don't you think it is some we have
:21:33. > :21:38.a separate category for women? -- it is time we had a separate
:21:38. > :21:43.category. To showcase more women sport, there should be more cut to
:21:43. > :21:50.Greece, to say that we have this array of women, and let us fight it
:21:50. > :21:55.out for -- there should be more categories. With someone like
:21:55. > :22:02.Bradley Wiggins, no one else is going to get a look-in. But no one
:22:02. > :22:07.has done what he has done, ever. am passionate about this, I think
:22:07. > :22:12.we could do with a separate category for women athletes.
:22:12. > :22:17.doesn't it make it more special when women do win the award?
:22:18. > :22:22.think in this Olympic year, there will be an array of medals, we
:22:22. > :22:28.could maybe get three gold medals on the track. I think it would be
:22:28. > :22:38.nice to have a showcase. What it does mean today is that we have won
:22:38. > :22:39.
:22:40. > :22:48.a second gold! James, would you do me the honour?
:22:48. > :22:58.We are heading way up the chart to number two. Can you move it to two,
:22:58. > :23:00.
:23:00. > :23:05.please. It is one below London from We will have a look at the medal
:23:05. > :23:09.table later on, don't spoil that. We have moved up a lot from
:23:09. > :23:19.yesterday. We haven't shown the other possible models we may have
:23:19. > :23:19.
:23:19. > :23:23.won today. Plenty more still to Michael Johnson spent a day at Eton
:23:23. > :23:30.Dorney, observing an emotional comeback for a Barcelona gold
:23:30. > :23:38.medallist. We are live at the ExCel for super have the wait and see
:23:39. > :23:48.Joshua's debut. -- super- heavyweight. And we will give the
:23:49. > :23:53.
:23:53. > :23:59.The boxing is going on late into the night, Amir Khan is they're
:24:00. > :24:08.taking it in. Good evening. Good evening. It is a big night for
:24:08. > :24:12.Anthony Joshua. It is a big category. It is one of the best
:24:12. > :24:17.divisions out there, it is like the heavyweight division. You have had
:24:17. > :24:21.the greatest fighters in there, Muhammad Ali. The big names have
:24:21. > :24:25.won a gold medal in this division. Anthony Joshua is looking one of
:24:25. > :24:30.the favourites in this division. He is up against another good fighter
:24:30. > :24:35.so it will be a good test for him. What kind of advice would you give
:24:35. > :24:39.him? It is unlike any other kind of experience. The advice I can give
:24:39. > :24:43.him is to stay calm and collected, listen to instructions from his
:24:43. > :24:49.corner, to be focused more than anything. The stadium here is full
:24:49. > :24:54.of Brits. It is easy to lose concentration. It is all about
:24:54. > :24:59.staying focused and doing what he does best. Getting through this
:24:59. > :25:02.first fight against a Cuban with huge family heritage. His uncle was
:25:03. > :25:07.a three-time gold medal-winner in a different weight category. The
:25:07. > :25:12.Cubans, are they always the danger country? Qiu Bo are one of the best
:25:12. > :25:20.nations, especially in amateur boxing -- Cuba are one of the best
:25:20. > :25:26.nations. Today Anthony will be fighting a Cuban. He isn't the best
:25:26. > :25:31.Cuban out there but I think Anthony is a better fighter. He has to be
:25:31. > :25:34.focused and stay behind his jab and be one step ahead of him. He has
:25:35. > :25:41.the whole nation supporting him, I think he has a good chance. A good
:25:41. > :25:48.atmosphere? It is great, it is sold out, I can barely hear you. So many
:25:48. > :25:52.Brits, the flag is flying, it is a great venue. It will be a great
:25:52. > :25:56.fight and a great atmosphere for Anthony, it is his first Olympic
:25:56. > :26:00.fight, he will be nervous but I think it will be brilliant. Thank
:26:01. > :26:06.you very much, we will be back live later for that fight. An emotional
:26:06. > :26:10.and dramatic day so far. The drama and emotion continued again in the
:26:10. > :26:14.pool following last night's great scenes. Britain were in with a
:26:14. > :26:18.great shout of winning their first gold in the men's 200 metres
:26:18. > :26:22.breaststroke. Glaswegian Michael Jamieson, a finalist in last year's
:26:22. > :26:28.World Championships, had a fantastic feat. He qualified in the
:26:28. > :26:38.black ash as the fastest. His training partner, Andrew Wallace, -
:26:38. > :26:52.
:26:52. > :26:56.- he qualified as the artist. To hats. Her who the final of the
:26:56. > :27:01.men's 200 metres breaststroke. There are some very good starts
:27:01. > :27:08.indeed. In lane three, Andrew Willis from Bath. Also from Bath,
:27:08. > :27:14.Michael Jamieson in four. They are cruising down the first 25 metres.
:27:14. > :27:20.Kitajima looks like he is going very early. Yes, with intent. The
:27:20. > :27:28.defending champion. He is a legend in breaststroke. He has done what

:28:48. > :28:54.He is coming back, you know? Sir is Jamieson from Glasgow and Great
:28:54. > :28:59.Britain is coming back at the world champion, Gyurta, in five. It is
:28:59. > :29:04.going to be Gyurta, I think. It is a fantastic silver medal for Great

:29:13. > :29:22.massive British record. My goodness. 2:07 0.4, utterly brilliant. A new

:30:03. > :30:09.Yes, a fantastic race, I think Daniel Gyurta was the overwhelming
:30:09. > :30:12.favourite. He has been challenging the world record, I knew I had a
:30:12. > :30:19.bit did give after the semi-final last night. I did think Gyurta was
:30:20. > :30:24.going to break the world record. I am not quite show short -- so sure
:30:24. > :30:31.I could swim that time, but I also thought I was capable of swimming a
:30:31. > :30:35.low eight and that would keep me in the medals. You had such presence

:30:45. > :30:45.
:30:45. > :30:50.Swimming at the Olympics is the pinnacle of the sport. It is
:30:50. > :30:55.something I have targeted for so many years. Over the last 18 months
:30:55. > :31:02.it has become a realistic target to make the podium. Previous to that
:31:02. > :31:08.it was a bit of a pipe dream, to be honest. So many training sessions I
:31:08. > :31:14.had gone over, preparing for this final in my head. As I said in my
:31:14. > :31:20.earlier interview, I was relaxed, excitement was awaiting the nerves.
:31:20. > :31:29.We could have lost due to football? What age did you make that decision
:31:29. > :31:35.that swimming was for you? I think I was 13. I wouldn't be so sure I
:31:35. > :31:40.was a promising footballer. The you made the right choice. Thank fully
:31:40. > :31:45.it paid off tonight. Fantastic to be involved and I want to say
:31:45. > :31:49.thanks so much to the crowd, every person in the stand helped bring me
:31:49. > :31:56.home in the last 50, it is fantastic to be part of the team
:31:56. > :32:00.and to cap off what has been a great day for Team GB. The emotion
:32:00. > :32:06.an atmosphere in the aquatic Centre has been tremendous. Tonight and
:32:06. > :32:12.last night possibly the two greatest nights so far? Did you
:32:12. > :32:18.have any family there? I had my parents, my younger sister, Lauren
:32:18. > :32:23.and some friends as well. My family have been there from the beginning.
:32:23. > :32:28.But my team mates who I trained with day-in and day-out, and
:32:28. > :32:31.unfortunately not everyone can make the Olympic games. It was important
:32:31. > :32:41.that they were there, they have been as an important part of this
:32:41. > :32:46.journey as anyone. Fabulous work, it was amazing. Enjoy it.
:32:46. > :32:51.It was just the kind of performance you dream of. Going into a final
:32:51. > :32:56.you have to give every inch of your body and put everything on the line,
:32:56. > :33:00.Matthew? Absolutely, it is your dream as they sports man or woman
:33:00. > :33:06.to produce your best when it matters most. It takes a huge
:33:06. > :33:11.amount of planning, training and when it actually comes to the day,
:33:11. > :33:17.you need a bit of courage as well. Because, you are so under pressure.
:33:17. > :33:23.I am amazed watching swimming, they are in the cool room, the race
:33:23. > :33:28.starts quickly, it is over quite quickly. You are under the cosh and
:33:28. > :33:36.it seems today, and last night, and hopefully more to come, we had then
:33:36. > :33:41.doing it right when it matters most. You don't want to leave any last
:33:41. > :33:47.drop, you want to feel you have given everything? You want to leave
:33:47. > :33:51.your performance, you don't want to leave the arena thinking I should
:33:51. > :33:57.have done more, I should have done something different leaf will stop
:33:57. > :34:04.with Michael, he got better, and better. Just that much away from
:34:04. > :34:10.victory, it is incredible. And hopefully the lift swimming will
:34:10. > :34:14.benefit from. We will have to go back to Adrian Moorhouse for the
:34:14. > :34:19.last gold medal. While the women have been storming ahead, the men
:34:19. > :34:25.have not been converting their skills into gold medals have they?
:34:25. > :34:30.Matthew is talking about delivering your best within that time. In the
:34:30. > :34:36.pool, there is no wind or anything else, they go in knowing what they
:34:36. > :34:41.can do and what they have to do. He went in there, knowing that one guy
:34:41. > :34:47.was going to break the world record. He needed to break his personal
:34:47. > :34:51.best, the world record and he got incredibly close. And that is about
:34:51. > :34:58.delivering it under pressure. it is about winning a silver and
:34:58. > :35:07.not losing that gold? That is part of it. You have to recognise when
:35:07. > :35:12.that is. If the other guy cannot deliver what he set out to do, you
:35:12. > :35:20.can claim what the other guy lost. Tyne for some boxing and more from

:35:25. > :35:31.London 2012. It has been a strange competition, three of them have had

:35:44. > :35:49.Anthony Joshua, 6 ft 6 is against the Cuban, Cotilla. He shouldn't be

:36:35. > :36:38.
:36:38. > :36:44.of the most famous names in boxing history for Cuba. The man from red,

:37:15. > :37:22.corner. Wearing blue globes, vest a rhythm behind his jab. The crowd
:37:22. > :37:29.will help him, but he does not want to respond to them too much by over
:37:29. > :37:33.reaching. And has to relax, enjoy it and worked behind his jab. When
:37:33. > :37:43.you are up against a Cuban, it is a tough contest. But he has to
:37:43. > :38:14.
:38:14. > :38:23.establish his left jab at this to prominence from Anthony Joshua.
:38:23. > :38:27.He arrived as an unknown. He was that two time ABA champion. He went
:38:27. > :38:37.on a marvellous run, including victory over the reigning Olympic
:38:37. > :38:43.
:38:43. > :38:53.champion, and Roberto camp are from Joshua. Just got to react a
:38:53. > :38:53.
:38:53. > :39:03.little bit quicker to his Cuban opponent. Cannot allow the Cuban on
:39:03. > :39:17.
:39:17. > :39:24.the inside. Lovely stuff from strength that Joshua possesses. It
:39:24. > :39:30.is sticking and moving from the Cuban who got a hit with a stiff,
:39:31. > :39:40.left jab from Joshua as they approached the closing bell. It is
:39:41. > :39:42.
:39:42. > :39:47.a tight contest. It is Joshua who leads by one point. A not a lot in
:39:47. > :39:57.that round. Joshua starting to get caught at the end. This was a good
:39:57. > :40:02.attack from him. This Cuban is very good at it reacting and countering.
:40:02. > :40:09.Lovely short right hand and then gets his guard up. Continues with
:40:09. > :40:19.the attack. The crowd react to it. Super punch. But what he has got to
:40:19. > :40:39.
:40:40. > :40:43.do more is in and out with the jab. Joshua in that blue corner. This
:40:43. > :40:53.fight is scheduled for three, three-minute rounds false start he
:40:53. > :41:06.
:41:06. > :41:16.expect. He needs to relax a bit more, Anthony Joshua. The Cuban is
:41:16. > :41:24.very flexible. He needs to establish the jab and in and out.
:41:24. > :41:34.He has to target the right hand. That was a good left hand from the
:41:34. > :41:52.
:41:52. > :42:02.On the back for it, dancing hook. That is better! That it was a
:42:02. > :42:02.
:42:02. > :42:12.torrid exchange as we approach the halfway mark of the second round.
:42:12. > :42:12.
:42:12. > :42:16.This contest is really beginning to warm up. Straight one, two is the
:42:16. > :42:23.key. He has to quicken his feet up a little bit more has Anthony
:42:23. > :42:30.Joshua. Maybe a double jab, right hand. This Cuban has very good
:42:30. > :42:40.movement. He has a very low left hand, this Cubans so it is open to
:42:40. > :43:06.
:43:06. > :43:13.Baku last year, Anthony Joshua was caused just sure to lose his
:43:13. > :43:21.balance momentarily. It is the Cubans scoring with clean punches
:43:21. > :43:25.as we approach the close of this second round. Joshua is trying to
:43:25. > :43:33.fight back but is being picked off by effective, single shot by the
:43:33. > :43:43.man in red. The bell sounds to bring about an end to Round 2.
:43:43. > :43:54.
:43:54. > :43:59.Joshua with a couple of good shots. Joshua replies, but just falling
:43:59. > :44:03.short with that and walking on to the left hand. There was the
:44:03. > :44:09.shocking right hand after the left, but then was caught. He needs to
:44:09. > :44:14.get his guard up when he's coming forward. That was a great punch
:44:14. > :44:19.from the Cuban. They will be pleased in the corner. He is in
:44:19. > :44:27.front, that is it. What should the tactics be in this final round? It
:44:27. > :44:32.is not a huge margin, how should he approach it? The Cuban well up the
:44:32. > :44:39.tempo and he may come forward even more, which will suit Anthony
:44:39. > :44:45.Joshua. It will bring him on to his punches. Joshua has to keep a cool
:44:45. > :44:55.head, keeps his guard up and make no mistakes. He needs to keep

:45:19. > :45:27.Quick feet from Joshua, he surprised his opponent. Selvan
:45:27. > :45:32.switched off momentarily -- Savon switched off. Joshua took advantage.
:45:32. > :45:39.Just 22 years old. Joshua gets on the front foot and continues to
:45:39. > :45:44.stalk his man. Inside the final two minutes. Just four years ago,
:45:44. > :45:48.Anthony Joshua, by his own admission, didn't know anything
:45:49. > :45:53.about boxing. At that point, James de Gale was on route to winning
:45:53. > :45:58.Olympic gold. It was following that moment, when he followed his car a
:45:58. > :46:03.son and into the gym at Finchley Amateur Boxing Club -- his cousin
:46:03. > :46:05.into the gym. Here he is competing in the Olympic Games in front of
:46:05. > :46:11.in the Olympic Games in front of his home town, four years after
:46:11. > :46:16.taking up the sport. Savon is providing Josh Sole with many
:46:16. > :46:22.opportunities. Joshua has got to move in with a double jab --
:46:22. > :46:32.providing Joshua with many opportunities. We are inside the
:46:32. > :46:36.
:46:37. > :46:41.final minute. Now the two men, Inside the final minute, now. It is
:46:41. > :46:46.going to be a crucial time, it is a closely contested affair. The right
:46:46. > :46:52.hand was an effective shot from Savon, and another one towards the
:46:52. > :46:57.back of the head, which is an illegal blow. These two boxers will
:46:57. > :47:03.have to concentrate until the final bell. It is a good combination from
:47:03. > :47:09.the gloves of Savon. Joshua needs to hold on inside the final 30
:47:09. > :47:16.seconds, will this be enough time for his head to clear? The decibel
:47:16. > :47:23.level is continuing to rise, to try to encourage Joshua. He was on the
:47:23. > :47:29.end of a powerful combination from Savon. We are left with the sense
:47:29. > :47:33.that it could be decided in these final moments. A good left-right
:47:33. > :47:40.from Savon once more. He is finishing around in brighter
:47:40. > :47:44.fashion. As the closing bell sounds, the verdict will be decided by the
:47:44. > :47:52.five judges seated ringside. Savon and his corner feel they have done
:47:52. > :47:55.enough. Joshua went into the final round with a two point advantage.
:47:55. > :48:01.In the Great Britain corner, they feel their man will have done
:48:01. > :48:05.enough. The verdict will be announced shortly. He got caught
:48:05. > :48:10.with a few towards the end, he switched off, he got caught with a
:48:10. > :48:20.great shot from Savon, right at the end of the round. The left hook
:48:20. > :48:24.
:48:24. > :48:33.mist, the right hook got through. - Has Anthony Joshua done enough to
:48:33. > :48:37.win it? Both boxers, bouncing in anticipation of the verdicts that

:49:25. > :49:29.Cuban won the final round 4-3. But it wasn't enough to overturn the
:49:29. > :49:36.two point deficit he faced at the conclusion of two rounds of boxing.
:49:36. > :49:41.Josh were kept his composure. With this being a home Olympics --
:49:41. > :49:46.Joshua kept his composure. The weight of expectation on this man's
:49:46. > :49:50.shoulders is considerable. He dealt with the situation and the
:49:50. > :49:57.reputation and ability of a very good opponent. There is the
:49:57. > :50:01.confirmation of victory. That right fist, raised in celebration and
:50:01. > :50:06.acknowledgement of the victory, and in acknowledgement of the support
:50:06. > :50:12.that is cheering him to the rafters, as he leaves the arena after
:50:12. > :50:17.securing a victory. The Cuban exits the tournament at the first round.
:50:17. > :50:27.Well done, Anthony Joshua. He is one more win away from a guaranteed

:50:34. > :50:38.Many congratulations. It was close. 17-16, final score. Good boxing,
:50:38. > :50:44.the Cubans have got plenty of pedigree but GB is on the rise as

:51:29. > :51:34.is great. Many congratulations, well done. Thank you.
:51:34. > :51:39.It was the tightest of margins but a fabulous victory, he will face a
:51:39. > :51:45.silver medallist from Beijing four years ago in the next round. Four

:52:28. > :52:32.it is the other factor... You may be the perfect physique but getting
:52:32. > :52:36.in the ring is something completely different. You have got to want to
:52:36. > :52:40.do it. It has to be something you are passionate about. I don't think

:53:20. > :53:27.medal after beating Parrinello 11-9. It was a tight and nervous about.
:53:27. > :53:37.The fighters were locked at 3-3. Campbell shaded the second round
:53:37. > :53:41.and in AKG third, he managed to tie and goes through. He will face a

:54:59. > :55:08.the dismount, that was really nice work. He squeezed everything

:58:49. > :58:54.remarkable achievement, Kristian Thomas finished 7th, they have

:58:57. > :59:02.he scored what he scored the other day, he possibly would have been in

:59:20. > :59:24.have done a safer vault, it would have been a lower difficulty, lower
:59:24. > :59:29.marks, and ended up with a minor medal, would he always be asking
:59:29. > :59:33.himself, if only I had done the braver vault. At least he will know

:04:29. > :04:35.here he is. Fantastic, to get to the stage of an Olympic games, they
:04:35. > :04:42.are fighting for the gold medal. Matthew Pinsent told him not to do
:04:42. > :04:49.it, it is a good job and he did not listen to him? Nobody listens to
:04:49. > :04:55.him, wise words. He has a shot at a Olympic glory. Physically he is in
:04:55. > :05:02.good shape. It is not like running in Rugby or in football, the impact
:05:02. > :05:07.is less, but it is the amount of training. The fact he has two kids,
:05:07. > :05:15.and is a way half of the year. he said he wanted to make a
:05:15. > :05:20.comeback, what did you say? Really?! We talked through the
:05:20. > :05:26.practicality of it. I could see the passion was there. He had it from
:05:26. > :05:36.the minute he was talking about it. And I knew what ever I said, it

:05:49. > :05:56.COMMENTATOR: great Britain into the record books. First gold medal for

:06:00. > :06:07.going crazy. They will race in order to win. We don't want to go

:06:17. > :06:20.
:06:20. > :06:28.again. Who are you cheering for? I am cheering for USA and Great

:06:59. > :07:09.Britain are up there. This is the Olympic final and there is nothing
:07:09. > :07:14.in it. Great reactions from this crowd. They are holding on to the
:07:14. > :07:18.bronze medal. It is Germany who will be the Olympic champions.
:07:18. > :07:27.Canada coming through in silver and Great Britain into bronze-medal

:07:37. > :07:52.
:07:53. > :08:00.Not bad for 40-year-old. I saw a thing from you in the paper, 10
:08:00. > :08:05.things to do, to think of for an Olympian. There so we went through
:08:05. > :08:11.them and tick them off. It is going to happen at the end, you will have
:08:11. > :08:16.to ask yourself but did we do everything we could possibly do?
:08:16. > :08:26.ticked all those boxes. It is a great a medal. When are you going
:08:26. > :08:31.
:08:31. > :08:38.to retire? I think my wife says I It beats getting a real job.
:08:38. > :08:43.might have to do that now. 1992 he won his gold, 20 years later he has
:08:43. > :08:51.taken a bronze. In the context of the boats and aspirations, was that
:08:51. > :08:56.a success today? The success for me came, as Matthew said at the start,
:08:56. > :09:02.they sacrificed, they could have won silver if they had gone after
:09:02. > :09:06.the silver. But they went after the gold medal. For that reason they
:09:06. > :09:12.didn't win silver and they just hung on to the bronze. In a month,
:09:12. > :09:16.that will feel like the right thing to have done. You could see on the
:09:16. > :09:25.podium, the Canadian is celebrating silver. Commentators was saying,
:09:25. > :09:28.they won bronze. But for them, they lost gold. Could you come out of
:09:29. > :09:35.retirement six or seven years later? It would be impossible what
:09:35. > :09:42.is it? It depends what your incentive is. I think London was a
:09:42. > :09:51.great one. Has he maintained? only had four years away, he did
:09:51. > :09:58.America's Cup sailing for a few years. He kept Club growing. --
:09:58. > :10:01.club rowing. Physically, we rode together at the under 18 World
:10:01. > :10:06.Championships. Physically he was a phenomenal athlete when he was
:10:06. > :10:15.young that. He won his first gold medal when Matthew when his.
:10:15. > :10:21.Looking back on his record, Matthew got for gold, turn world golds.
:10:21. > :10:25.Matt got one gold, are among world, won gold at the Olympics. And with
:10:25. > :10:34.his kids being old enough to understand and be old enough to
:10:34. > :10:44.watch him, make sense for him now. Might son knows I was at the
:10:44. > :10:50.Olympics. He asks me and says, that what did you do? And he said I was
:10:50. > :10:57.typing. Do you think he will stay in the sport? Definitely. He will
:10:57. > :11:00.stay connected with the sport, but that it is it for him. Adam Jim
:11:00. > :11:07.Neilly is of the young generation and he comes to this the Olympics
:11:07. > :11:12.as an exciting prospect. He arrived from the training camp in Portugal.
:11:12. > :11:17.But then he got his accreditation. It would seem he is that a new and
:11:17. > :11:25.fresh on the block, the Petr Cech - - picture did not match up to the
:11:25. > :11:34.image. He showed a picture he had been given on his accreditation.
:11:34. > :11:40.Mistakes happen, and he took it in good spirits. That it must be of
:11:40. > :11:46.massive benefits if he gets into trouble, he can say it wasn't me.
:11:46. > :11:56.excited the athletics? Can't wait. A lot of medal prospects, Jessica
:11:56. > :11:58.
:11:58. > :12:08.Ennis, Dai Greene, so... Christine? Christine Ohuruogu could surprise a
:12:08. > :12:08.
:12:08. > :12:18.few people. It was the 4th day at Weymouth and Rob Walker rounds up
:12:18. > :12:33.
:12:33. > :12:39.Weymouth and Portland Beach is fabulous on any sunny day, but
:12:39. > :12:45.especially when there is an Olympic regatta on. This is one of two
:12:45. > :12:49.places where members of the public can get in the sailing mood. This
:12:49. > :12:53.is were 9,000 people turned out last Friday night to give the
:12:53. > :13:02.British Olympic sailing team based send off to remember. A fantastic
:13:02. > :13:09.spot. The other place you can come to watch his here, they are calling
:13:09. > :13:15.this Ben's Nevis. You can get an indication why. 4,500 people here
:13:15. > :13:21.every day throughout the Olympic regatta. It is the first time in an
:13:21. > :13:26.Olympic regatta they have sold tickets. You can get a glimpse of
:13:26. > :13:34.the atmosphere. It is a cracking spot and it is the one to match
:13:34. > :13:39.Wimbledon - it Ben's Nevis - how about that? On the water, you get a
:13:39. > :13:44.feeling as to how hard they have to work. Not just on medal race day,
:13:44. > :13:54.but all the way through the regatta. And British sailors have been at
:13:54. > :13:55.
:13:55. > :14:02.the heart of the actions. Dempsey is neck and neck sued the finish.
:14:02. > :14:06.Between the two boats to the finish. Nick Dempsey got the verdict and
:14:06. > :14:13.that took into third place overnight. In the Laser radial,
:14:13. > :14:19.Alison young lies 4th after a mix day on the walk up. It was a tough
:14:19. > :14:23.afternoon for the match racing girls, with defeats to Russia.
:14:23. > :14:30.There was better news for Paul Goodison, recovering from his back
:14:30. > :14:35.injury was up to six. Steve Morison and Ben Rhodes came home in second
:14:35. > :14:41.and are closing in on the medal positions. Even off the water, they
:14:41. > :14:47.still have to run the gauntlet of answering questions from
:14:47. > :14:55.journalists around the world. After all that, they pack away and
:14:55. > :15:01.prepare to do it all again tomorrow. Ben Ainslie had a day off, but
:15:01. > :15:08.going for his 4th gold, you know what it is like? A lot of pressure.
:15:08. > :15:13.If anyone can handle it, it is Ben Ainslie. We have talked about
:15:13. > :15:23.producing your best when it matters most, you will always back him in a
:15:23. > :15:26.
:15:26. > :15:31.tight spot. It is fair to say he is It is time for this. This is
:15:31. > :15:36.Venezuela, a country of nearly 30 million people. But not one with
:15:36. > :15:45.great Olympic pedigree, until today. They had only ever won won Olympic
:15:45. > :15:49.gold, in 1968 with the light- flyweight title. Today they won
:15:49. > :15:57.fencing gold against Norway. He is the world number 13, an underdog on
:15:57. > :16:02.its own. The number was lucky for him today. Well done, Venezuela.
:16:02. > :16:09.Your job is nearly over tonight, I have one little task for you. Would
:16:09. > :16:12.you come through to the other you come through to the other
:16:12. > :16:18.studio. China are still setting the pace with 17 gold medals, USA are
:16:18. > :16:24.second. Britain, no need to panic, look what a difference a day makes.
:16:24. > :16:29.We are moving close to the top 10 and I am sure it is going to change
:16:29. > :16:35.in the next few days. Let me introduce you to the silver, or the
:16:35. > :16:43.gold and the bronze behind you. Shall we do Chris Froome at's
:16:43. > :16:48.bronze, you are now on the board. This pile is the men's eight. Would
:16:48. > :16:58.you like to give them some name tracks? It is going to get very

:17:16. > :17:21.The first Scot to appear on the silver. He did amazingly well,
:17:21. > :17:26.three British records. Next, we move on to the golds. This is a
:17:26. > :17:36.really big moment. I know you think it is slightly futile, but Helen
:17:36. > :17:43.
:17:43. > :17:46.and heather. Well done. I think we should let the lady do Bradley
:17:46. > :17:50.Wiggins, are there any more superlatives left? Of course, the
:17:50. > :17:55.action begins in the Velodrome tomorrow, the track cycling will
:17:55. > :18:01.hopefully be another gold Ross for Great Britain. The word pressure,
:18:01. > :18:06.that is where it comes -- gold rush. Absolutely but the atmosphere is
:18:06. > :18:13.going to be electric. If anyone will perform in there, our boys
:18:13. > :18:18.will. Thank you so much for your company. We have some more rowing
:18:18. > :18:26.days to come, some space here. Where is the next rowing gold,?
:18:26. > :18:31.Tomorrow, light men's four. Make some space down here. Unfortunately,
:18:31. > :18:35.there is a lot of space there. will fill it. We have had a great
:18:35. > :18:40.day, more to come tomorrow. The Velodrome will be busy, so is
:18:40. > :18:43.Dorney in the morning. It was a first ever women's gold and a
:18:43. > :18:47.record-breaking ball for one special athlete. Seconds out on day
