:00:52. > :00:56.A good evening, Mr Bond. Good The Olympic flame burns brightly.
:00:56. > :01:01.Date six has been one to remember, and it is not over yet. The live
:01:01. > :01:05.sport goes on. Volleyball, Britain's men up in action on BBC
:01:05. > :01:08.Three. There is beach volleyball and basketball on the Web -- on the
:01:09. > :01:18.red button and the website. I have a stellar line-up of guests here
:01:19. > :01:26.
:01:26. > :01:30.this evening. More superstars for COMMENTATOR: Johnson wins a second
:01:30. > :01:34.gold and the world record has gone. COMMENTATOR: They are coming, they
:01:35. > :01:44.are coming, they are there. They have beaten them and that is a
:01:45. > :01:45.
:01:45. > :01:49.brilliant achievement. Oh, come on. Play that point again. John McEnroe
:01:49. > :01:55.and Michael Johnson, slowly forging an Olympic broadcasting partnership
:01:55. > :01:58.to rival tour well and Dean, and proud owner of a bronze medal from
:01:58. > :02:02.yesterday's rolling, Greg Searle is here. You are very welcome. How are
:02:02. > :02:07.the 40-year-old bones feeling of yesterday? The 40-year-old bones
:02:07. > :02:11.are standing up well. I have done it for the old guys out there. I am
:02:11. > :02:15.feeling in decent shape today. have probably seen this a million
:02:15. > :02:20.times. I have not seen the finish. I have not watched the whole race
:02:20. > :02:23.yet. I was in pain at the end. Agony and ecstasy. We will talk
:02:23. > :02:28.more about the race later. There is plenty of the feel-good factor
:02:28. > :02:31.today. I want you to sit back and enjoy a show where we will
:02:31. > :02:35.celebrate a great many of our medals today. Gemma Gibbons is
:02:35. > :02:41.coming on a bit later on and we will celebrate a fantastic day in
:02:41. > :02:44.the canoe slalom as well. We will start with that. The women's
:02:44. > :02:49.gymnastics was brilliant as well and you will see that. We will
:02:49. > :02:52.start with the Kalou -- the canoe slalom. David Florence had a
:02:52. > :02:57.disappointing competition in the individual see one on Tuesday.
:02:57. > :03:02.Could things improved to date on his home course? -- it was the C1.
:03:02. > :03:08.He teamed up with Richard Hounslow and Great Britain had Tim Baillie
:03:08. > :03:18.and Etienne Stott taking part. The Slovakian twins, the Hochshorners,
:03:18. > :03:20.
:03:20. > :03:23.were going for a consecutive electric. I love the odds of having
:03:23. > :03:27.two British pairs in the top six. No medals for Great Britain on this
:03:27. > :03:32.wonderful course, but who knows what could happen this afternoon.
:03:32. > :03:36.The last day of slalom canoeing, the last session, and it is Tim
:03:36. > :03:41.Baillie and Etienne Stott who getters under way. Their first
:03:41. > :03:47.split in the semi-final was 26.63. We will get a good idea very soon
:03:47. > :03:54.as to how this British pair are going. They are competing so well.
:03:54. > :03:58.Over the last couple of years. Going very well indeed. The first
:03:58. > :04:04.split will come up very soon. It was one of the fastest splits in
:04:04. > :04:11.the semi-final in fact. 26.9, very much on a par with what they
:04:11. > :04:14.achieved the first time. So, Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott, bronze
:04:14. > :04:18.medallists of the European Championships a couple of years ago,
:04:18. > :04:22.ranked 6th in the world, coming into the Olympic Games. They were
:04:22. > :04:29.always going to challenge but this could be a medal run for Great
:04:29. > :04:37.Britain. Just looking a bit slow there. Making it OK without
:04:37. > :04:43.penalties. Helen Reeves joins me in the commentary box. This is an
:04:43. > :04:48.encouraging run from Bale at Stott? It is looking solid. They need to
:04:48. > :04:54.maintain their speed and composure. I tell you what, that is a much
:04:54. > :04:58.faster split, the second split they have had as they spin away from 18.
:04:58. > :05:01.This is one of the trickiest parts of the course. Upstream they go
:05:01. > :05:09.through the 19th. Helen Reeves is nodding her approval. This is
:05:09. > :05:15.looking good for Great Britain. upstream gate to go, typed in. They
:05:15. > :05:23.turned, back down, one gate to go. Great Britain are flying here. No
:05:23. > :05:31.penalties whatsoever. Bale and Stott, 106.41, the fastest time we
:05:31. > :05:38.have seen on this Olympic course so far in the sea to competition. --
:05:38. > :05:45.in the C2 competition. The Chinese are in second place for the time
:05:45. > :05:49.being, but that will change. A reminder of the time, 106.41, set
:05:49. > :05:54.by the British pair. They are outside that. This is all about
:05:54. > :06:01.Great Britain hanging on in there. They have done it, Tim Baillie and
:06:01. > :06:06.Stott are still in the lead. 106.41 is the leading time. It is going to
:06:07. > :06:11.be close! Bale and Stott have a silver medal, that means there is
:06:11. > :06:15.only one pair that can prevent Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott from
:06:15. > :06:19.winning the gold metal and guess what, they are British! This could
:06:19. > :06:23.be real British history. David Florence, already a silver
:06:23. > :06:28.medallist from four years ago in Beijing, in the C1 event and
:06:28. > :06:33.Richard Hounslow. They are chasing the time by their friends and
:06:33. > :06:38.training partners, Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott, who currently lead
:06:38. > :06:45.this see two final. Keeping it tight, they are leaning on gate
:06:45. > :06:49.four. Setting up the ride from seven to eight. My goodness, they
:06:49. > :06:55.are up over a second on the split but they will have to maintain this.
:06:55. > :06:59.One of the most difficult parts of the course. Etienne Stott and Tim
:06:59. > :07:02.Baillie went brilliantly from this time for and they have lost time as
:07:02. > :07:09.they came out of ten. This is where Tim Baillie and Stott won it, I
:07:09. > :07:14.think. They set the fastest time so far. Florence and Hounslow are
:07:14. > :07:20.untidy, they have lost time. Not enough perhaps to push them below
:07:20. > :07:25.the Hochshorners at the moment. What sort of shape are the British
:07:25. > :07:32.pair in? Florence and Hounslow have to keep it together. Working hard,
:07:32. > :07:36.they took 16 and 17, tight to the split and they are. 0.88 on the
:07:36. > :07:40.split. This would be an incredible performance. They have shown
:07:41. > :07:45.immense promise all year. That was brilliant, coming up to the
:07:45. > :07:50.upstream gate. Everybody in this chirrup -- everybody in the stadium
:07:50. > :07:58.is cheering. Everybody in the commentary airier is screaming, for
:07:58. > :08:03.Florence and Hounslow. Two to go, no fault, this could be gold and
:08:03. > :08:09.silver for Great Britain. Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott lead, oh
:08:09. > :08:19.my goodness, they have a silver medal! There are the Olympic
:08:19. > :08:28.
:08:28. > :08:33.champions. We don't just get one, That was a high octane event, a
:08:33. > :08:37.brilliant finish. I am delighted to say that the guys, all four of them,
:08:37. > :08:40.are in the building somewhere, on the way in. They will have a little
:08:41. > :08:47.chat and we will get them in here in a few minutes. Did you see that
:08:47. > :08:53.today? It is the first time I saw it, incredible. High adrenalin,
:08:53. > :08:59.lots going on. How do you train for that? It looks like a very
:08:59. > :09:04.expensive device. Do you go to the Grand Canyon and...? Most of the
:09:04. > :09:07.guys live nearby. It is their home course. It has been built
:09:07. > :09:12.especially for the Games and they have been practising as much as
:09:12. > :09:17.they can, the home advantage. that the only one of the country?
:09:17. > :09:22.No, no, there is a national centre near Nottingham. How have any other
:09:22. > :09:25.countries been allowed to train? will have to ask the guys but they
:09:25. > :09:29.move the market around so they never know where they will be.
:09:29. > :09:33.Slovakian twins, who had won the last three Olympic Games, they said
:09:33. > :09:36.they thought the course was easy ahead of the competition. Whether
:09:36. > :09:41.that was an advantage to the British guys or not, we will ask
:09:41. > :09:47.them later. I imagine a result like that, I want to, just spreads a
:09:47. > :09:51.real optimism and belief amongst the rest of the athletes -- a 1-2.
:09:51. > :09:53.There is a different feeling after winning the first gold yesterday in
:09:53. > :09:58.the rowing lake. That is coming through the whole team now. There
:09:58. > :10:03.is a sense of belief that people can do it. I remember it in past
:10:03. > :10:06.Olympics, getting started, getting a foothold and everyone builds the
:10:06. > :10:12.enthusiasm. You say, I saw that guy in the village this morning,
:10:12. > :10:15.getting kitted out, and he has won a gold medal. I can do it. Can I
:10:15. > :10:20.congratulate break. He was telling us it was 20 years to the date that
:10:21. > :10:28.he won... We will celebrate him in his entirety later. I was over
:10:28. > :10:35.eager. Keep your powder dry. I am not going to give too much away, in
:10:35. > :10:41.case you have been at work. What do you get when Farmer's son from
:10:41. > :10:46.Dorset and a Sheikh from Dubai team up? We went -- Peter Molson went
:10:46. > :10:56.into the men's double trap today. Here is the incredible story of his
:10:56. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :11:01.best chance of a shooting medal and there is the big British hope,
:11:01. > :11:11.Peter Wilson. He starts this final three points clear of his nearest
:11:11. > :11:29.
:11:29. > :11:36.He has missed them both! Incredible. His lead has been cut from four, 2-
:11:37. > :11:46.2. It has been hard. -- it has been cut in half. This is the main
:11:47. > :11:52.
:11:52. > :12:02.the final. He maintains the pressure on Wilson. Great Britain
:12:02. > :12:06.
:12:06. > :12:15.stand on the edge of a gold medal these targets to win gold for Great
:12:15. > :12:19.Britain. And he does it! Peter Wilson has done it! He has one gold.
:12:19. > :12:24.He has won gold for Great Britain. He held his nerve brilliantly,
:12:24. > :12:32.Peter Wilson and the crowd here rise to salute this 25-year-old
:12:32. > :12:36.Olympic gold in the men's double I thought I would allow myself to
:12:36. > :12:40.look back at the board, I missed the pair. I came in with the
:12:40. > :12:44.leaders a possibility. What a feeling. I don't know what to say.
:12:44. > :12:54.You are an Olympic gold medallist. I am, it is really weird to say
:12:54. > :12:58.
:12:59. > :13:03.that. How strange. Fantastic. An incredible gold. While that was
:13:03. > :13:09.going on, a few minutes later, another gold was being one. It was
:13:09. > :13:11.an incredible five minutes. Tim Baillie, Etienne Scott, David
:13:11. > :13:16.Florence and Richard Hounslow are here with their gold and silver
:13:16. > :13:19.medals. Thank you for coming in and sharing this with us. It was just
:13:19. > :13:23.an incredible, you did not know what was going on in the shooting,
:13:23. > :13:27.it did -- you did go first and have to hang on to your time. You said
:13:27. > :13:32.that is normal, to have that experience? Sometimes it is in some
:13:32. > :13:36.races. Often there is ten boats in the final and a normal world
:13:36. > :13:40.championships, so sometimes if you are off first and you have to wait
:13:40. > :13:44.for ten cruised to come through, so it is a long time. Meanwhile, you
:13:44. > :13:48.were the ones who could spoil the park for your training partners.
:13:48. > :13:53.You knew their time, knowing what you had to do? Yes, it was tough. I
:13:53. > :13:57.have never been in such a pressured situation, to go last in that final,
:13:58. > :14:01.knowing it was a tough time to beat and it had been a fast final. I
:14:01. > :14:05.think we were pretty pleased to get it together under that pressure and
:14:05. > :14:10.put in a good run. Full credit to these guys for taking the gold,
:14:10. > :14:15.absolutely. How much was home advantage a factor? You train on
:14:15. > :14:17.that course, you know it. Does it make a big difference? Yes, in our
:14:18. > :14:23.homes bought -- in our sport home advantage does make a difference.
:14:23. > :14:28.It looks like it did, obviously. But I suppose so much on the day,
:14:28. > :14:35.it is dynamic and so many variables you can't always tell. We are happy
:14:35. > :14:39.the way it worked out. Hochshorners came with three gold
:14:39. > :14:45.medals. When you looked at realistic targets, they had had a
:14:45. > :14:48.good run in the World Cup, was called realistic for you? Without
:14:48. > :14:51.at that -- without a doubt those guys were favourites. They triple
:14:51. > :14:57.Olympic champions. They are the world number one. They dominate
:14:57. > :15:01.most times. Like Tim said, it is and on the day sport. We beat them
:15:01. > :15:04.in Cardiff, we have beaten them before. You have to believe in
:15:04. > :15:10.yourselves. They went down before us and we knew from the noise that
:15:10. > :15:14.the crowd made that they had not beaten Tim Baillie and Etienne
:15:14. > :15:18.Stott that Britain were guaranteed a gold medal and possibly gold and
:15:18. > :15:21.silver and as to which way round it was was down to myself and David.
:15:21. > :15:26.The atmosphere at Lee Valley was incredible. The sound that was
:15:26. > :15:30.coming from the grandstand. The same thing at Eton Dorney,
:15:30. > :15:34.propelling you want. It is amazing. The crowd noise at Dorney, on both
:15:34. > :15:37.sides of has coming here in both ears. There is nothing that can get
:15:38. > :15:42.in, you have to think straight. I don't know how it is for these guys,
:15:42. > :15:46.it is a real head game for you, to keep your focus and get around the
:15:46. > :15:51.course properly. How does it work, the relationships between you? Do
:15:51. > :15:55.you have to think like one as you are driving the course? Yes, we
:15:55. > :15:59.train a lot together to make sure we have the same reactions. The
:15:59. > :16:04.what is changing. You run never in the same place twice. You have to
:16:04. > :16:14.react together, by practising a lot. You think with one mind and
:16:14. > :16:15.
:16:15. > :16:19.navigate the boat as the unit, not Did you speak to these two guys to
:16:19. > :16:24.tell them what to expect? We were in our place, we were held in the
:16:24. > :16:29.finish line. If we had exactly the same plant, and unfortunately it
:16:29. > :16:33.was not right, both of the crews would have bombed. We had an
:16:33. > :16:37.independent approach. I did the course differently but it was good
:16:37. > :16:43.for our country because we did not have all our eggs in the same
:16:43. > :16:48.basket. You would have gone into this as the slightly higher ranked
:16:48. > :16:58.team in the British context, your previous best was a bronze? Yes, it
:16:58. > :16:59.
:16:59. > :17:05.was. This is a big jump up? There were rankings higher than ours. We
:17:05. > :17:09.have been very consistent over the past eight years. No hard feelings?
:17:09. > :17:16.We have been friends for years and if anyone was to beat us, we would
:17:16. > :17:24.want it to be these guys. You did not qualify for the B one final --
:17:24. > :17:29.you did not qualify for the C1 final. We were trying to win medals
:17:29. > :17:34.and last night we had to sit down with our coach, and almost start
:17:35. > :17:40.afresh. Make sure we didn't let the disappointment affects today's
:17:40. > :17:50.racing. Can you hear the noise outside? Do you want to give them a
:17:50. > :17:57.
:17:57. > :18:03.wave. I think I would like a wave from you as well, Michael! The home
:18:03. > :18:08.crowd is pretty special. They can see my bald spot from there!
:18:08. > :18:14.were delighted last night that we could get Big Ben going, this is
:18:14. > :18:22.new to the show. Now we have a couple of gold medals.
:18:22. > :18:32.If you would like to go up to Big Ben and move the arrow up two
:18:32. > :18:41.
:18:41. > :18:45.Let's not cheat! Thank you so much for coming in, I know you must be
:18:45. > :18:50.massively in demand, have you had time to see your families yet?
:18:50. > :18:56.little bit, we kissed them on the cheek a couple of times and then on
:18:56. > :19:01.to the next one! Where now? We go where we are told, where the press
:19:01. > :19:08.wants us! You are in demand, you'll be all over the place tomorrow!
:19:08. > :19:14.Thank you for coming in. The medals kept coming today and next up it is
:19:14. > :19:24.judoka or Gemma Gibbons. She was born a few miles from the ExCeL
:19:24. > :19:29.
:19:29. > :19:37.renown on her home turf, she rose medal in Romania, she is up against
:19:37. > :19:41.a handy Portuguese. -- a World Cup silver medal. Oh, she has done it!
:19:42. > :19:48.She snatches the East -- Portuguese -- she snapped at the Portuguese to
:19:48. > :19:53.the floor with an ippon and she has bought the ExCeL Centre to life.
:19:53. > :19:57.All she has ever wanted to be was an Olympian, she never dreamt she
:19:57. > :20:02.would market debut with an ippon against one of the better players
:20:03. > :20:08.in the world. The mountain has just got a little bit steeper. The
:20:08. > :20:14.Mongolian mountain might be a tougher one, we will see.
:20:14. > :20:24.twitches it back and she has got it! She gets the score, she is in
:20:24. > :20:26.
:20:26. > :20:36.the lead. Oh, she has done it! She has only gone and booked her place
:20:36. > :20:45.
:20:45. > :20:49.in the semi-final. She is nearly mother was her inspiration, she
:20:49. > :20:55.died eight years ago, maybe somewhere she is watching her
:20:55. > :21:05.daughter fight at the London Olympics. He oh, yes! She has done
:21:05. > :21:15.
:21:15. > :21:25.bridge has been crossed in glorious fashion. Gemma Gibbons will win a
:21:25. > :21:38.
:21:38. > :21:44.Kayla Harrison and the Londoner, point. Gemma has to get and the
:21:44. > :21:53.pawn and then she has a split- second to attack. -- has to get an
:21:53. > :22:00.ippon. This is it. Gemma Gibbons has got to do something now. It is
:22:00. > :22:08.not going to be gold. That will go to the USA. For the first time in
:22:08. > :22:13.the history of their women's judo It hasn't sunk in, it feels a bit
:22:13. > :22:19.like a dream, but amazing at the same time. I am delighted to say,
:22:19. > :22:23.Gemma Gibbons is here. You provided the most dramatic, emotional story
:22:23. > :22:28.of the day, it was spectacular. You have wanted to be an Olympians
:22:28. > :22:32.since you were a kid, did you ever dream this far ahead? It has always
:22:32. > :22:39.been my dream to be Olympic champion from when I was eight
:22:39. > :22:45.years old. Then it wasn't really it very realistic. It has always been
:22:45. > :22:48.my dream, I can't believe I have achieved that dream today. Her you
:22:48. > :22:52.wake up in the morning and you see the day panning out, how do you
:22:52. > :22:58.take it? One fight at a time? Your coach has been there, Kate Howey,
:22:58. > :23:02.she had been to a final. She gave me all the advice she could and I
:23:02. > :23:05.think that really help. For me today, I took it one fight at a
:23:05. > :23:09.time and that really helped. I wasn't overwhelmed with needing to
:23:09. > :23:14.win the next three fights. I took each one individually and that
:23:14. > :23:20.seemed to really work. atmosphere looked spectacular. How
:23:20. > :23:25.much could you feed off that? think I fed off it loads! A lot of
:23:25. > :23:28.the matches were tight, close matches and the crowd were amazing,
:23:28. > :23:34.getting behind me, they really spurred me on and it made a real
:23:34. > :23:39.difference today. That semi-final, that ippon in golden time, it was
:23:39. > :23:45.so dramatic. Yes, it was amazing. It meant I was in the final, a
:23:45. > :23:48.guaranteed medal. I wanted to go for gold, I went for gold,
:23:48. > :23:52.unfortunately it wasn't to be. The semi-final was amazing. The moment
:23:52. > :23:56.when the fight was over and you looked up and you said, I love you
:23:56. > :24:02.mum, I think everyone wanted to put their arms around you and give you

:24:07. > :24:11.have not had your mum in your life for so many years, is she a son --
:24:11. > :24:14.constant source of inspiration? she died eight years ago and she
:24:14. > :24:18.was my biggest supporter. She took me everywhere, she took me to
:24:18. > :24:23.training, she came to every competition. I just want to say
:24:23. > :24:28.thank you, but I don't get the opportunity to do that. It was nice
:24:28. > :24:35.to be able to say that. The image of you bent over at the end, the
:24:35. > :24:38.exhaustion, it is incredible. These bouts, they seem so short but the
:24:38. > :24:43.exertion, and seeing the birth lying on the floor at various
:24:43. > :24:49.points, it comes through the screen how exhausting, and you have to get
:24:49. > :24:52.yourself back up again. It is pretty tough, two pretty heavy
:24:52. > :25:01.women going to blow for blow to get each other on your back, it is
:25:01. > :25:05.pretty exhausting. The outfits seem awfully warm. He and cumbersome.
:25:06. > :25:10.Tell us about why you wear that outfit. It is just the traditional
:25:10. > :25:18.outfit. I think it means you can get the sleeve, you can get the
:25:18. > :25:28.lapel on the collar, to use those as levers to do the throes.
:25:28. > :25:29.
:25:29. > :25:33.don't you tie up your belt? She will be able to hold you. If it
:25:33. > :25:39.comes undone and you are seen to be trying it without the referee
:25:39. > :25:46.saying, you can get a penalty. You do not touch it unless you are told
:25:46. > :25:52.to do so by the referee. Is there a different strategy based on the
:25:52. > :25:57.opponent or do you have the same preparation, mind SEP-? It is very

:29:01. > :29:06.happened. Dear, oh dear. STUDIO: After the drama, Philip
:29:06. > :29:13.Hindes got back on the bike and along with Chris Foy and Kenny they
:29:13. > :29:23.posted the fastest time -- along with Hoy and Kenny. They would face
:29:23. > :29:27.
:29:27. > :29:32.France again, who they beat four it is going to be a thriller, a way
:29:32. > :29:42.we go. This is the final of the men's team sprint. Philip Hindes
:29:42. > :29:45.
:29:45. > :29:50.leads off. Her look at Bauge, and France are behind already and
:29:50. > :29:54.Hindes is rising to the challenge. Great Britain are leading. Now it
:29:54. > :29:59.is Jason Kenny. He is storming around the track, on the second lap.
:29:59. > :30:07.France are on the back foot. Coming up to the final take over, it is
:30:07. > :30:11.going to be Hindes. Here comes Chris Hoy, down to the final turn.
:30:11. > :30:18.Coming up to the line, the crowd are going mad! Gold medal for Great
:30:18. > :30:23.Britain, a new world record! 42.6, I don't believe what I have seen.
:30:23. > :30:30.They are going quicker and quicker, and Great Britain have won the gold
:30:30. > :30:34.for the team sprint, Philip Hindes, Jason Kenny and Chris Hoy, and that

:30:53. > :31:00.can't hear the announcement. The Olympic champions are the team of

:31:08. > :31:14.19 years of age. He is an Olympic Jason Kenny gets his second Olympic
:31:14. > :31:24.medal, he won in Beijing. Sir Chris Hoy gets his 5th Olympic gold medal.

:31:25. > :31:29.His ferocious appetite for winning Well, massive congratulations. What
:31:29. > :31:32.an amazing moment here in at the Velodrome. Philip, your first
:31:32. > :31:37.Olympics. You have been on this British team for a couple of years.
:31:37. > :31:41.What a time to smash your personal best. It is unbelievable. I can't
:31:41. > :31:46.believe I am Olympic champion. It is a dream come true. Especially
:31:46. > :31:52.after what happened in qualifying, the first ride. I just did it to
:31:52. > :31:56.get the restart. My first start was not the greatest. I thought, get a
:31:56. > :32:00.restart, play the Save card. were trying to pull a fast one
:32:00. > :32:06.there? Yes, I was trying to get the fast time and get everything
:32:06. > :32:11.perfect. Double Olympic champion. know, it is frightening. This one
:32:11. > :32:15.was unbelievable. I cannot believe how we have gone today. Philip has
:32:15. > :32:20.gone out of the blocks like a rocket. We have been swinging all
:32:20. > :32:24.over the back of him, trying to keep up. It was unbelievable. He
:32:24. > :32:28.found half a second in the space of the year and delivered as perfectly.
:32:28. > :32:33.Sir Chris Hoy, I am not sure what they will do you now, your 5th gold
:32:33. > :32:37.medal, the most successful British Olympian. There was emotion on the
:32:37. > :32:42.podium? I dug deeper than I have before. I knew the importance. I
:32:42. > :32:48.did not want to let the boys down. It is immense pride to do it here,
:32:48. > :32:55.in the UK, in front of this crowd who have been phenomenal. They have
:32:55. > :33:00.been amazing. It is often over-used, the they agent, isn't it? But he is
:33:00. > :33:06.a legend of his sport. -- the legend. He is immense. He is
:33:06. > :33:11.amazing. They got rid of his event, his original event in the Olympics.
:33:11. > :33:15.It no longer exists. He had to go to a new event. He has thrived on
:33:15. > :33:20.that. He is an incredible athlete. He is always talking about training
:33:20. > :33:26.and looking for ways to improve and that is what makes him so great.
:33:26. > :33:31.is perennially cheerful as well. It is not the only way to achieve
:33:31. > :33:39.greatness in a sport! Are we looking at you?! That talk about
:33:39. > :33:48.controversy. Philip Hindes? When he said he fell... He is a Gemmell --
:33:48. > :33:53.German national, maybe it was lost a restart if there is a mechanical
:33:53. > :34:00.problem with the bike. It did look like he had never ridden a bike in
:34:00. > :34:08.his life before. If it is in the rules, I guess it is what you do.
:34:08. > :34:12.It does look funny, throwing They got the start they needed in
:34:12. > :34:16.the end. Chris Hoy has had to adapt himself, come back fresh after
:34:16. > :34:19.winning gold in Beijing. A lot of people would think three gold, I
:34:19. > :34:24.have my knighthood, I have another gold as well from the previous
:34:24. > :34:29.Olympics, I will take it easy. that is why you do not use the
:34:29. > :34:33.legend easily. It is special to come back and now, to win his 5th.
:34:33. > :34:43.With the pressure of carrying the flag in the opening ceremony,
:34:43. > :34:45.
:34:45. > :34:49.everyone expected him to perform Wiggins was the most successfully
:34:49. > :34:59.decorated Olympian but Chris Hoy is moving up on him. He could go level
:34:59. > :34:59.
:34:59. > :35:05.with him. It is interesting, the It it's more than a nominal job?
:35:05. > :35:11.For me, it is a special thing. In 19 added to, Steve Redgrave carried
:35:11. > :35:17.the flag and to me, as a rower, I wanted to step out behind him -- in
:35:17. > :35:22.19 they did you. He studied the tunnel, we chanted his name. Having
:35:22. > :35:26.that pressure on one person, leading the team. Not just the
:35:26. > :35:31.cycling team, the whole team. was a moment I realised I was not
:35:31. > :35:35.just part of a rowing team, I was part of the Great Britain team. You
:35:35. > :35:39.are not part of the Great Britain Olympic team, it is the nation. He
:35:39. > :35:46.would have felt that at the opening ceremony. And yet come out and
:35:46. > :35:51.perform. Did you do it? I never carried it, no. Sorry I asked!
:35:51. > :35:56.have almost been in the Royal Box, once, at Wimbledon. Are we doing
:35:56. > :36:02.bragging? I will lose this came, you know that. It is time for more
:36:02. > :36:08.Tony Hadley. # Gold #.
:36:08. > :36:18.Who wants to do the honours? Take it up one more notch. That takes us
:36:18. > :36:18.
:36:18. > :36:25.up to five, one less from the You have slightly moved it above
:36:25. > :36:30.five, made it at five 1/2 or five 3/4. I know you are always looking
:36:31. > :36:37.for the extra inch. There? There it goes. You know your way around the
:36:37. > :36:40.gold medal. OK, a little earlier in the evening Victoria Pendleton and
:36:40. > :36:45.Jessica Varnish went to the women's team sprint, the first time the
:36:45. > :36:49.event has been raced at an Olympics. They got off to a fantastic start
:36:49. > :36:55.in qualifying, posting the second fastest time behind China, who set
:36:55. > :37:01.a new world record. Victoria and does Cadman raced in the next round,
:37:01. > :37:11.trying to get in the final. They were racing alongside Ukraine. I
:37:11. > :37:21.will at the commentators describe Jessica Varnish and Victoria
:37:21. > :37:25.
:37:25. > :37:30.to replicate the right they did in the first round. A quick start,
:37:30. > :37:40.come on, Jess Varnish is on fire. She is going to release Victoria
:37:40. > :37:41.
:37:41. > :37:43.Pendleton. They are beating Ukraine. Lookout Pendleton, storming around
:37:43. > :37:51.the track. This is Victoria Pendleton back to her imperious
:37:51. > :37:55.best. 32.567 for Great Britain, only a small amount slower than
:37:55. > :38:01.they ride slower in the first round. It does show that Great Britain are
:38:01. > :38:06.backing it up. It is looking very much like it could be China versus
:38:06. > :38:11.Great Britain in the fight for gold. What is happening here? They are
:38:11. > :38:14.looking at the window of change, Chris? I was watching the British
:38:14. > :38:18.pair and the changeover. Victoria Pendleton was coming through very
:38:18. > :38:24.fast. They are not allowed to overtake before the first rider has
:38:24. > :38:28.completed the lap. Well, they're having a strong discussion in the
:38:28. > :38:33.centre there. Dave Brailsford not looking particularly happy there.
:38:33. > :38:42.It means that Great Britain are relegated, when they were clearly
:38:42. > :38:47.in for a ride for the gold and Well, Victoria, one minute, elation,
:38:47. > :38:51.the next, despair. What happened? We did not changeover in the right
:38:51. > :38:57.loan on the track. It is really hard when you are going that speed.
:38:57. > :39:01.-- the right place on the track. I was focusing on Jessica's wheel. If
:39:01. > :39:04.she moves up slightly, I go. That is what happened. We have never had
:39:05. > :39:09.any legal change before so we have not been too concerned about it but
:39:09. > :39:14.it is one of those things that happens. It is not Jessica's fault,
:39:14. > :39:18.it is not my fault, we are both partly to blame really. We were a
:39:18. > :39:24.bit too overwhelmed and excited and a bit too eager. We should have
:39:24. > :39:28.kept a lid on it a bit more, I think. So great disappointment for
:39:28. > :39:34.Victoria and Jessica and it was the Chinese pair who stormed to victory,
:39:34. > :39:39.beating the Germans. But in a day of high drama at the Velodrome,
:39:39. > :39:45.China were relegated for a takeover offence, handing the gold to
:39:45. > :39:49.Germany in return will stop Germany, who by rights could have expected a
:39:49. > :39:53.bronze with two teams above them, Great Britain and China, going
:39:53. > :39:58.quicker earlier and the day, they'd get a gold medal. Desperately
:39:58. > :40:01.disappointing for Jessica Varnish. This is her Olympics over. Victoria
:40:01. > :40:06.has a couple more opportunities, so that is disappointing. He reminds
:40:06. > :40:11.me of the whole relay exchange in athletics. You know where that zone
:40:11. > :40:14.is and it is difficult to make sure you stay in it. Like Victoria was
:40:14. > :40:19.saying, they have not have the problem before so they were not
:40:19. > :40:22.concerned about it. She talked about being overwhelmed and excited
:40:22. > :40:27.at that is one of the things you don't hear about the home advantage
:40:27. > :40:31.to stop we have the home crowd, so exciting, all the cheering, but you
:40:31. > :40:37.have to stay focused on exactly what you are supposed to be doing
:40:37. > :40:42.and executing. That is one of the dangers. Greg said adrenalin.
:40:42. > :40:46.interesting, looking at judo, then the crowd, you feel like you are
:40:46. > :40:50.going to war and you have the adrenalin and power you need added
:40:50. > :40:53.is explosive. This has to be controlled aggression. Peter Wilson,
:40:53. > :40:57.we did not get a lot of time to talk about him, but that is the
:40:57. > :41:03.sport, shooting, you can't have any excess adrenalin or energy coming
:41:03. > :41:06.out. That is what makes the Olympics so amazing to me. I am
:41:06. > :41:11.turning every which way and everywhere you go you see people
:41:11. > :41:15.that have to deal with totally different circumstances and it
:41:15. > :41:19.seems like, OK, when they are cycling they should have erred on
:41:19. > :41:23.the side of safety but when you are so pumped up and you're talking
:41:23. > :41:29.about a split second time it is really hard to do that, it seems.
:41:29. > :41:34.It seems like a harsh way to lose. Victoria was in the immediate
:41:34. > :41:39.aftermath of what happened but later she said that she was so
:41:39. > :41:42.quick and Dave Brailsford wasn't earlier and he said she was immense,
:41:42. > :41:46.her time was incredible. It bodes well for her individual event but
:41:46. > :41:51.it is not the day that they would have planned and I imagine
:41:51. > :41:56.ritualised for a long, long time. It is so tough. It comes down to
:41:56. > :42:00.that event once every four years. It is a long way to wait for Jess
:42:00. > :42:06.Varnish. Yesterday at dawn it was an emotional day has Britain's
:42:06. > :42:16.women won an historic gold and this man won a medal after winning a
:42:16. > :42:17.
:42:17. > :42:21.gold in Barcelona in 1992 -- at now. We are under way with the
:42:22. > :42:31.men's Olympic final, seven minutes away from history. We have had the
:42:31. > :42:36.Glover and Helen Stannage. -- we have Helen Glover and Heather
:42:36. > :42:45.Stanning. It is simply stunning. This is the Olympic final and there
:42:45. > :42:49.is nothing in it. It is a bronze medal today. Helen Glover and
:42:49. > :42:58.Heather Stanning, we stand up and salute you, for the British rowing
:42:58. > :43:02.That was an amazing day. You have had 24 hours to assimilate that.
:43:02. > :43:06.The immediate aftermath when you got out of the boat looked like
:43:06. > :43:12.disappointment. Do you feel some joy in your bronze now? I feel
:43:12. > :43:16.immense pride in picking up a medal at my home Olympics. And at 40
:43:16. > :43:20.years old? And at 40 years old. It is a fantastic feeling. I know the
:43:20. > :43:24.feeling of coming 4th, because I came 4th at the Olympic Games in
:43:24. > :43:28.Sydney and this is wildly different to that feeling, the feeling now
:43:28. > :43:32.that I was able to look my wife in the eye and tell her it had been a
:43:32. > :43:39.good use of three years, there was on end product. That is a good
:43:39. > :43:44.feeling to have. Was it a few beers too many, a bet on a wager, I could
:43:44. > :43:48.get back in the Olympics? Or was it considered? There was some of that
:43:48. > :43:51.involved because it is an emotional thing, to commit yourself. It has
:43:52. > :43:57.to be an emotional drive as well as a logical decision. If you were
:43:57. > :44:01.rational, you would not do it. It is 20 years to the day today that I
:44:01. > :44:05.won my gold medal and when London was bidding for the Games I looked
:44:05. > :44:09.at the paperwork and I thought, they will be gold medals given out
:44:09. > :44:15.20 years to the day. I was 20 when I won it, I could be a 40-year-old
:44:15. > :44:19.doing it. A very romantic man. That has great bromance to it. Your
:44:19. > :44:25.brother, Johnny, was with you in the boat. Did he try to talk you
:44:25. > :44:30.out of it? He was fantastically supportive. I am the younger
:44:30. > :44:36.brother. He took up the sport first. He was successful before me. It was
:44:36. > :44:39.perfect Wendy could do it together. I think now, as a parent, there is
:44:39. > :44:43.nothing better than seeing both of them succeed together. My parents
:44:43. > :44:47.saw both of us on the Olympic podium together and nothing is more
:44:47. > :44:51.perfect than that. Now I have carried on. I am sure it is tough
:44:51. > :44:55.but he has been brilliant, supportive. Your kids get to
:44:55. > :45:00.appreciate it as well. You were a young man, in the prime of his life,
:45:00. > :45:04.20 years ago, out and about, enjoying it, you could go out and
:45:04. > :45:08.train the next day. It is different now. Has this been an enjoyable way
:45:08. > :45:12.of doing it? I am a smart athlete now, I look after myself better, I
:45:12. > :45:16.have trained better, in a professional system, but I hope I
:45:16. > :45:23.still have passion. It is that combination of passion that you
:45:23. > :45:26.feel in a man, like I have sitting to my right, but to have that
:45:26. > :45:31.passion and professionalism as well and I have brought them together.
:45:31. > :45:35.Is there every time, Michael, when you think I wish I had smelt the
:45:35. > :45:45.coffee a bit more and taken stuff in because I am wiser now and no
:45:45. > :45:46.
:45:46. > :45:52.I was extremely fortunate that I was able to do all the things and I
:45:52. > :46:02.was able to join it -- enjoy it. My son was born at my last Olympics, I
:46:02. > :46:03.
:46:03. > :46:08.only ran in one race. I have never had that regret. You said 20, I had
:46:08. > :46:18.some pretty good day's tennis at 20, but I feel like I'm in the prime of
:46:18. > :46:21.
:46:21. > :46:26.my life now. I feel good now. I This is an unbelievable 40, but 60
:46:26. > :46:33.might be a little tough! The brain of a 40-year-old and the body of a
:46:33. > :46:38.20-year-old, that is what you really want! It was a day of two

:47:06. > :47:10.a green light, we are way first time in the final of the Olympic
:47:10. > :47:19.Games 2012 men's lightweight coxless fours. The Netherlands in 1,
:47:19. > :47:28.Switzerland in two, Great Britain driving out in lane three. As
:47:28. > :47:34.expected, Denmark have flown like a rocket in the first 150. What do
:47:34. > :47:38.you do in the British boat? You churn them out, 100, out, and the
:47:38. > :47:44.next 10 strokes, keeping it long and keeping it relaxed. The British
:47:44. > :47:51.crew are looking good. We get to the last timing market. Looking
:47:51. > :47:57.very fast, very calm and relaxed. They are relying that they have the
:47:57. > :48:04.speed at the end. 500 metres remaining in the final, this is
:48:04. > :48:14.going to the wire. 50 strokes remain. Denmark, Australia and
:48:14. > :48:16.
:48:16. > :48:20.Great Britain. This is getting into the danger zone. Great Britain are
:48:20. > :48:27.right up on to the boil, here come the British lightweight fours and
:48:27. > :48:34.they will be met by a roar from the British crowd. South Africa are
:48:34. > :48:42.coming up, this is tough. They have now got to turn it up, they have a
:48:42. > :48:47.big ask here. Can they make it? British crew, 25 strokes remaining,
:48:47. > :48:54.surely they are now looking their stronger. One big push, the crowd
:48:54. > :48:59.got on their feet on the far side. They are just into second place,
:48:59. > :49:04.they have a quarter of a length on the Danes, they are moving.
:49:04. > :49:10.Danes are responding. South Africa in lane five. It is 10 strokes to
:49:10. > :49:15.the wire, it is going to the wire. It looks like Denmark have moved
:49:15. > :49:21.out again. Here comes South Africa, sticking her head of the Danes, one
:49:21. > :49:26.last push, here come the British, the crowd want to lift you over the
:49:26. > :49:32.line. South Africa are Olympic champions. Great Britain get the
:49:32. > :49:41.silver. Denmark get bronze. It was a valiant effort to from the
:49:41. > :49:46.British four, a worthy silver medal. They gave absolutely everything for
:49:46. > :49:54.themselves, the team and Great themselves, the team and Great
:49:54. > :49:58.Britain. That was brutal. Really brutal. We wanted to win. A silver
:49:58. > :50:05.isn't fantastic but it is a medal at the Olympics. You have seen the
:50:05. > :50:11.event, you can't walk into it and expect to get anything. To get a
:50:11. > :50:16.silver was impressive from where we came from. What a team they have
:50:16. > :50:22.been, the custom return, they salute the crowd, an emotional
:50:22. > :50:29.moment -- customary turn. We dug our heels in and we fought really
:50:29. > :50:34.hard. We did everything we could. These things happen.
:50:34. > :50:38.Did they get the tactics right? think they did. I feel really sorry
:50:39. > :50:41.for those guys. They have laid it on the line, they can look
:50:41. > :50:45.themselves in the mirror and say they did everything that they
:50:45. > :50:50.possibly could. The conditions were tough, they had a poor lane draw,
:50:50. > :50:54.they were on the outside lane in windier conditions than the guys on
:50:54. > :50:58.the near side. Not to take anything away from South Africa, fantastic
:50:58. > :51:03.for them to win a gold medal. British crew can be proud of
:51:03. > :51:07.themselves. They should be. Are you grateful that you don't have to
:51:07. > :51:12.diet to 11 stone? They are exactly the same size, it comes to
:51:12. > :51:16.technique and toughness. Our guys won on that. An incredible race, so
:51:16. > :51:20.tight and thrilling to watch. Incredible to watch. Great to see
:51:20. > :51:27.the reaction of South Africa. They did not know they had won. Once
:51:27. > :51:31.they found out, the guy at the back, his face was classic. Good stuff.

:54:03. > :54:09.individual medley, but Ryan had the small matter of his 200 metres
:54:09. > :54:19.backstroke title to defend before that. Like so many swimmers, he
:54:19. > :54:20.
:54:20. > :54:27.could not win back-to-back titles and he ended up third. Gold went to
:54:27. > :54:32.his countryman, Clary. 20 minutes after that, the mighty Ryan Lochte
:54:32. > :54:40.was getting back into the pool again. He qualified fastest and was
:54:40. > :54:44.looking to deliver the medley Phelps, aiming to win this event
:54:44. > :54:49.for a record-breaking third time, went in lane three. For Britain,

:55:13. > :55:21.has the fastest fly but after that it is interesting. Lochte has the
:55:21. > :55:27.best backstroke. Goddard is doing quite well. He has a blue cap, the
:55:27. > :55:33.Brits have been wearing red caps, I think it is because he is a
:55:33. > :55:38.Manchester City fan. Lochte needs to make a move. A lot of analysis

:55:45. > :55:55.he is not. Phelps is right on world record and very determined. Big,

:56:07. > :56:12.was Parreira of Brazil. If Lochte is going to get this, he has got to
:56:12. > :56:18.go now and make a really big move. Goddard is right at the top, in
:56:18. > :56:25.about 4th or 5th. The rest of the field is coming back at Phelps, but
:56:25. > :56:29.look at Phelps go. I can't see him link -- losing theirs. Phelps is
:56:29. > :56:33.really determined -- I can't see him losing this. I wonder if Lochte
:56:33. > :56:39.has enough energy, enough commitment to make this. Surely he
:56:39. > :56:43.will go for the gold. Phelps has to hang on. Lochte looks like he's
:56:43. > :56:49.coming back. Phelps is right on what record, this is an awesome
:56:49. > :56:55.final. Michael Phelps might get this. Lochte is coming back but I
:56:55. > :57:05.think it is going to be Phelps. It is Lochte's world record and it is
:57:05. > :57:06.
:57:06. > :57:10.still, but it is gold to Phelps. Three in a row. We spent a long
:57:10. > :57:18.time talking about it but Michael Phelps has just won his 20th
:57:18. > :57:21.Olympic medal. Finally he has won an individual gold medal here. The
:57:21. > :57:26.relief after he won the 19 and became the greatest Olympian was
:57:26. > :57:33.massive and finally he has won an individual one, and three titles in
:57:33. > :57:39.He wanted to achieve a number of things, I know you have not, but it
:57:39. > :57:49.-- not set them, but you achieved the triple. Yes, that is cool. I
:57:49. > :57:55.knew Ryan would be tough. It is a hard double coming of the 200 back.
:57:55. > :58:01.I am really pleased, it is a gold medal. The someone special Revenue,
:58:01. > :58:08.yesterday? Yes, or the President called me. -- someone special rang
:58:09. > :58:13.you. Somebody called and asked for me, they said it was the President
:58:13. > :58:19.of the United States, I said oh, OK. You would be so gutted if you got
:58:19. > :58:29.to your phone and it was a mystical! It would be kind of cool
:58:29. > :58:30.
:58:30. > :58:36.because you can keep playing it -- This man has proven his has -- his
:58:36. > :58:40.supremacy, if he ever needed too. feel for Ryan Lochte. At the
:58:40. > :58:46.beginning of the Games, he beat Phelps and it looks like it would
:58:46. > :58:51.be his Olympics. By it is not really the case. It is easy to be a
:58:51. > :58:57.back-seat driver, but first of all, the scheduling, I don't get. Why
:58:57. > :59:04.would you have a race like the 200 backstroker, and 20 minutes later,
:59:04. > :59:12.have to raise the medley? That is how you become the malty medallist,
:59:12. > :59:18.you have do -- it is your choice to swim in those races. The thing is
:59:18. > :59:23.to beat folds, that is what it is all about. He had already won that,
:59:24. > :59:28.save himself -- the thing is to beat Phelps. You have to make your
:59:29. > :59:32.decision, what do you want to do in terms of your career, and if it is
:59:32. > :59:37.to beat Phelps, you pull out of the other one. Your chances of winning
:59:37. > :59:40.those races that close together, I would think are not very good.
:59:40. > :59:45.every sport, there are periods where somebody has this dominance
:59:45. > :59:49.and he has had that. He has this gold medal, this is his last
:59:49. > :59:52.Olympics, that there might not be another of his kind for two or
:59:52. > :59:58.three Olympic Games, we should treasure what he has done for the
:59:59. > :00:02.sport. It has been incredible. It is not easy to stay on top and come
:00:02. > :00:07.back after an Olympics and won another gold medal. The only man
:00:07. > :00:12.ever to win three back-to-back. That speaks to his greatness as a
:00:12. > :00:17.swimmer. Not to mention his determination. It has been a bit of
:00:18. > :00:27.a struggle. Especially after Beijing, now back to where he
:00:28. > :00:28.
:00:28. > :00:38.belongs, that was pretty impressive Let's have a look at the all-time
:00:38. > :00:44.
:00:45. > :00:50.With 16 gold, he is head and shoulders above the rest its. --
:00:50. > :00:57.above the rest. He will never be caught. Never say never. That is
:00:57. > :01:06.impressive, no doubt about it. red two for more finals to look at
:01:06. > :01:10.in the pool. Rebecca Soni beat Suzuki of Japan and Ilya -- and
:01:10. > :01:17.Lilia Efimova of Russia in a world record time. The hundred metres
:01:17. > :01:22.freestyle was won by Ranomi Kromowidjojo, of the Netherlands,
:01:23. > :01:32.Aliaksandra Herasimenia was second. Yi Tang was third. Britain's fan
:01:33. > :01:36.
:01:36. > :01:39.Hansel finished in 6th place -- fan Now it is time to catch up with...
:01:39. > :01:49.After a rest day Ben Ainslie and the rest of the sailors were back
:01:49. > :01:53.
:01:53. > :02:00.on the water. Rob Walker has the the best race of all. An incredible
:02:00. > :02:04.comeback. Frustrating for Ainslie. Six races, Ainslie beaten in every
:02:04. > :02:14.single one. Race seven and finally Ben Ainslie had his chance. Into
:02:14. > :02:14.
:02:14. > :02:20.the lead, he forced to Great Dane to attack. Ainslie is out to beat
:02:20. > :02:25.the Danish sailor for the first time at these Olympic Games.
:02:25. > :02:34.Ainslie stands up, someone has capsized. Busied the Danish? Yes,
:02:34. > :02:39.it is! -- is it the Danish? Yes, it is. Ben Ainslie seized his
:02:39. > :02:44.opportunity and beat the Dane for the first time in the regatta.
:02:44. > :02:49.there it is, Ben Ainslie has beaten the Danish. Come on, come on.
:02:49. > :02:54.the Dane is a fierce competitor and in the second race of the day,
:02:54. > :02:59.Ainslie was forced to change -- to chase him once again. Ben Ainslie
:02:59. > :03:06.has rounded the mark chasing the Danish sailors. There was an
:03:06. > :03:11.exchange between Ainslie and another sailor. All I can imagine,
:03:11. > :03:18.the sale is saying to Ainslie, you hit the mark. Explain about the
:03:18. > :03:26.altercation, the conversation, from the Dutch sailor. Was he saying you
:03:26. > :03:33.had hit the market you did not Him and the Danish guide teamed up
:03:33. > :03:41.on me. I am seriously unhappy with that. He did not want to make me
:03:41. > :03:47.angry, I am angry. From where I was sailing, it looked like he hit the
:03:47. > :03:57.mark. If he did not, he should not have done his penalty turn. I had
:03:57. > :03:59.
:03:59. > :04:04.no choice, if it is two against one, over his rival in one day. With
:04:04. > :04:10.three races left, there is nothing in it. The battle has reached new
:04:10. > :04:15.intensity. Beware, Great Dane, Ainsley's in animal is awakened.
:04:15. > :04:20.is really bad. I am a pig with that. It has happened a lot in the
:04:20. > :04:30.Olympics. I am older and wiser enough not to fall for it but those
:04:30. > :04:31.
:04:31. > :04:34.What a competitor. He is a great competitor, so determined. He has
:04:34. > :04:39.two more races and then the medal race. He could have gone into first
:04:39. > :04:43.place. He is relentless. He knows that water. He rides the waves well,
:04:43. > :04:48.in those conditions I would back him. I love the way he talks. You
:04:48. > :04:55.don't want to make me angry! They had better watch out. That kind of
:04:55. > :05:01.stuff. He has confident. He could almost be American! Is that a
:05:01. > :05:05.compliment? It was, backhanded compliment. I kind of felt that,
:05:05. > :05:10.writer on my head. I was going to ask about the winning mentality.
:05:10. > :05:15.Check the overall medal count. winning mentality seems to be
:05:15. > :05:18.prevailing now we have got going with the golds. Funding lottery,
:05:18. > :05:22.lottery funding coming UK Sport funding, that all helps, but have
:05:22. > :05:26.you noticed in the 20 years expectation increasing within
:05:27. > :05:31.British athletes, that we can do it, we are the best? The lottery
:05:31. > :05:34.funding has been fantastic. I was there in 1996. We won one gold
:05:34. > :05:40.medal for Great Britain to stop now we are hoping to get into the teens,
:05:40. > :05:45.who knows. It has changed so much. The mindset? The mindset, the
:05:46. > :05:50.belief, the expectation. We saw girls like the two rollers from
:05:51. > :05:57.yesterday, they have been brought through from a talent programme to
:05:57. > :06:02.win Olympic medals. We can expect that. We will catch up with them.
:06:02. > :06:11.The women's gymnastics competition is a blue ribband event. Who will
:06:11. > :06:16.etch their name in history? Have a Arena for the individual all-round
:06:16. > :06:26.final. My best bet would be Gabrielle Douglas. Super height,
:06:26. > :06:27.
:06:27. > :06:36.Super flight. The pressure is on Viktoria Komova. I am afraid that
:06:36. > :06:40.is not what gets you a gold medal. 15.466, she is third. Such a clean
:06:40. > :06:47.perform on this apparatus. Lovely flight, look at that in the back
:06:47. > :06:57.transfer. This is going beautifully. For Viktoria Komova. A great
:06:57. > :07:01.
:07:01. > :07:10.above the bar. A really good retrieval stopped Viktoria Komova
:07:10. > :07:14.is looking on. She has gone into the lead. 15.733, ahead of the
:07:14. > :07:20.Viktoria Komova. Viktoria Komova was second in the already
:07:20. > :07:30.championships. Can she go one better? That was a touch. So far,
:07:30. > :07:38.so very good. That was super from Viktoria Komova. Viktoria Komova,
:07:38. > :07:46.15.441. A big test, when you are out in front. Rock steady so far.
:07:46. > :07:50.Composure is the for this performance. -- composure is how I
:07:50. > :07:54.would describe this performance. That was tremendous. Gabrielle
:07:54. > :08:01.Douglas has to go into the lead after that. She just seemed to be
:08:01. > :08:11.glued to the beam. Gabrielle Douglas is leading, going into this
:08:11. > :08:22.
:08:22. > :08:32.final rotation. It all boils down Full twisting double back, Super
:08:32. > :08:36.
:08:36. > :08:44.difficulty. I will be surprised that smile is not gold. 15.033, it
:08:44. > :08:54.is going to be interesting. Usher still has to do it. An extremely
:08:54. > :08:54.
:08:54. > :09:00.tall over -- an extremely tall order. Now that was controlled.
:09:00. > :09:10.What a joy to see her fight for a medal like this. That was the
:09:10. > :09:20.
:09:20. > :09:25.disappointment for Viktoria Komova. She has got herself a silver, but
:09:25. > :09:35.there is your Olympic champion. In her first year of senior
:09:35. > :09:39.
:09:39. > :09:44.competition. Viktoria Komova in Agony and ecstasy of the Olympics,
:09:44. > :09:48.right there for you. Rebecca Tunney finished in 13th place, the
:09:48. > :09:53.youngest member of the Great Britain squad. Hannah Whelan had us
:09:53. > :09:57.disappointing competition. She did not land on her vault, so she got
:09:57. > :10:00.no-score and finished 24th. From the grace and elegance of
:10:00. > :10:06.gymnastics to the physicality of boxing, it is time to catch up with
:10:06. > :10:10.our magnificent seven. They are the men who are fighting in London 2012

:10:21. > :10:27.DeGale. He won a gold at the Youth Olympics eight years ago and silver
:10:27. > :10:32.at the Commonwealth Games in 2010. Today, he Finn it -- he faced

:10:42. > :10:43.
:10:43. > :10:53.5-3. Ievgen Khytrov won the second, in the third round, it is tight,
:10:53. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :11:00.tense and Richi Woodall and Jim are hoping to get it to you. I do
:11:00. > :11:07.not want to spoil the result and tell you what happens. We have got

:11:33. > :11:37.differential, what an upset this would be. Yes, he has to keep his
:11:37. > :11:45.opponent off balance with the odd single jab now and again, to
:11:45. > :11:50.counter attack, to try to put him He has been first with the punch-up
:11:51. > :11:56.will stop how is his stamina going to last? He has had a minute's
:11:56. > :12:03.break. A good right hand from Ogogo. If he keeps this up, he could nick
:12:03. > :12:11.it. A little stabbing right hand. He has to do two or three shots and
:12:11. > :12:20.then move. Lovely. The judges could not have missed that one. Ogogo is
:12:20. > :12:30.still bouncing. Ievgen Khytrov is chasing him, catching him. Two and
:12:30. > :12:30.
:12:30. > :12:35.three shops, -- shots, bring him on. A little switch, covers up well.
:12:35. > :12:41.Ievgen Khytrov will be getting a bit frustrated. The gumshield has
:12:41. > :12:50.come out. That will give Ogogo a few seconds' rest. He needs it, to
:12:50. > :12:54.be honest. I did not see any punch that would have dislodged that.
:12:54. > :12:59.Maybe he got rid of it himself to buy a bit of time. Would you blame
:12:59. > :13:08.him? I think not. A pulsating contest, one of the best contests
:13:08. > :13:13.we have seen so far. Ievgen Khytrov gets him again, Ogogo must run.
:13:13. > :13:19.Ievgen Khytrov will not let him off the hook. He has to start working
:13:19. > :13:24.harder, two or three shots. There is a bit of trouble. Just keep the
:13:24. > :13:30.head up from the referee took Ogogo. One minute to go. Come on, don't
:13:30. > :13:39.let this slip. Get off those ropes, Anthony Ogogo. He is getting caught,
:13:39. > :13:44.tiring. This machine from the Ukraine is coming storming forward.
:13:44. > :13:49.Keep him at bay. Long range, keep him at bay and then move. Beat him
:13:49. > :13:56.to the shot, counter attack him. What a racket, what a performance
:13:56. > :14:00.from Ogogo. Target the right hand over the top. He has a slow left
:14:00. > :14:06.will stop what a sensation this would be if he can hang on and win
:14:06. > :14:12.it. It is so close. Very close, it could be the most important 30
:14:12. > :14:17.seconds of Anthony Ogogo's career. He has to work, come on. He needs
:14:17. > :14:22.to score a couple more shot. That is better from Ogogo. There was not
:14:22. > :14:27.much in it but it did land. Ievgen Khytrov is coming forward. He has a
:14:27. > :14:34.punch, he has got to punch of stock good footwork by Ogogo, he got
:14:34. > :14:38.himself caught on the turn. last 15 seconds. A good left hook
:14:38. > :14:43.as that... Ogogo is tiring. Ievgen Khytrov is coming forward. The
:14:43. > :14:47.world champion might have done enough but there is not very much
:14:47. > :14:52.in this and what a task for the five judges. What a performance
:14:52. > :14:56.from Ogogo. They have punched themselves to a standstill.
:14:56. > :15:06.Whatever happens, he has raised to his status in world amateur boxing
:15:06. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:17.We go to come back, where we are level again at 52-52. He has got it,
:15:17. > :15:24.Ogogo! He has beat the world number one! It was 18-18, they went to
:15:24. > :15:27.come back, the total scores went to 52-52. -- they went to count back.
:15:27. > :15:34.Then the fight judges asked to press a red or a blue button and
:15:35. > :15:39.they have come out in favour of a Ogogo. What an upset. That is the
:15:39. > :15:43.upset of this tournament so far. He did that for his mother. His mother
:15:43. > :15:47.was poorly coming into this tournament, but was for his dear
:15:48. > :15:57.mum. He has beaten the world champion. Anthony Ogogo, I am proud
:15:58. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:02.He will now face a German in the final. He said the best part of his
:16:03. > :16:10.day was giving his mum a hug and he loves so very much. Joshua Taylor
:16:10. > :16:15.was also in action. He was going against the Valentino of Italy in
:16:16. > :16:22.his second round fight. The Italian proved sadly too strong, beating
:16:22. > :16:26.Josh in a tough encounter. It was too close to call until the third
:16:27. > :16:30.round but Josh took several blows and it means he is the first of our
:16:30. > :16:34.magnificent seven to be knocked out. Plenty of medals to put on our
:16:34. > :16:38.medal sport. Let's get through there, I will show you the table as
:16:38. > :16:42.we go. China are leading the way, we go. China are leading the way,
:16:42. > :16:46.Great Britain are doing a lot of catching up. The USA are way ahead
:16:46. > :16:51.on 18, it has been a big day for you. Great Britain are moving right
:16:51. > :16:56.up the table. Will be up there I am sure in the next couple of days, if
:16:56. > :17:06.we keep having a wonderful days like today. Shall we do the silver
:17:06. > :17:11.
:17:11. > :17:16.medals first? The can you save one gold medal for me? You can do the
:17:16. > :17:25.one. Greg Searle, it seems only appropriate that you do the rowers.
:17:25. > :17:32.Peter, Richard, Chris, Rob. Then we have got the canoeists. Michael,
:17:32. > :17:38.the silver canoeists. Then we have the silver canoeists. Then we have
:17:38. > :17:47.got Peter Wilson, the shooting. He had a fantastic day. And then the
:17:47. > :17:54.gold and canoeists. Etienne and Tim. I would love to do one shot at a
:17:54. > :18:04.gold, even touch a guy's face! There we go, there is Philip. Jason
:18:04. > :18:08.Kenny is yours. And Sir Chris Hoy, long may he reigned. Look, this has
:18:08. > :18:12.filled up a bit since the last time. Look at that. We have had a great
:18:12. > :18:19.few days. I wouldn't like to see the USA boards, they would be
:18:19. > :18:25.vulgar, way too big! Great to have you here. Just brilliant. An
:18:25. > :18:31.inspiration to all 40-year-old, I think. That is it, the end of
:18:31. > :18:38.basics, it has been a pretty good day for Great Britain and day seven
:18:38. > :18:42.or being a Prunty more silver and gold -- the end of basics and day
:18:42. > :18:52.seven will bring plenty more silvers and gold, I am sure. See
:18:52. > :19:07.
:19:07. > :19:14.Here come the British, Great The tears that earlier Gemma
:19:14. > :19:18.Gibbons will win a medal. -- the tears that tell you. They are the
:19:18. > :19:23.Olympic champions and we get two medals. We have got silver but we
