:01:34. > :01:39.volleyball at Horse Guards Parade, and boxing at the XL arena, and you
:01:39. > :01:44.can watch all of the live sport on the red button and online. There
:01:44. > :01:54.were 22 gold medals at stake today and on the say so with me tonight,

:02:13. > :02:18.two men won plenty of that heavy The Olympic champion for the triple
:02:18. > :02:23.jump Exmouth I am delighted to welcome Ian Thorpe, the Aussies
:02:23. > :02:27.swimming sensation with five Olympic gold medals to his name,
:02:27. > :02:37.and Jonathan Edwards, still the world record-holder for the triple
:02:37. > :02:39.
:02:39. > :02:46.Multi-sport events, there will always be a disparity. If they
:02:46. > :02:50.could award one for the hop, skip and jump, it would be OK. I heard
:02:50. > :02:56.you were complaining about the so far! I just said it was not as
:02:56. > :03:06.comfortable as it was. It is to keep you on your toes. Loads of
:03:06. > :03:10.
:03:11. > :03:15.: Great Britain went for more glory on the water at Eton Dorney.
:03:15. > :03:21.As the action at the Aquatics Centre Nears its climax, our golden
:03:21. > :03:28.girls are looking to make history. Jessica Ennis set off on the track
:03:28. > :03:31.in the form of her life. Victoria Pendleton was aiming to put
:03:31. > :03:35.yesterday's huge disappointment behind her.
:03:35. > :03:43.And the men's team pursuit were aiming to defend the title they won
:03:43. > :03:47.in Beijing. Let's start with events in a
:03:47. > :03:57.swimming pool and the return of our golden goal.
:03:57. > :04:13.
:04:13. > :04:16.# It is asked against the world #. Rebecca Adlington was aiming to
:04:16. > :04:21.become the first British swimmer to successfully defend an Olympic
:04:22. > :04:26.title. On Sunday she picked up bronze, tonight it was the 800m,
:04:26. > :04:35.her strongest event, and the cheers that rang out in the Aquatics
:04:36. > :04:45.Centre were deafening. Rebecca qualified fastest. She
:04:46. > :04:51.lined up in Seger, just slightly faster than Denmark's Lotte Friis
:04:51. > :05:01.in lane five. Katie Ledecky de went in lane three. The young American,
:05:01. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:12.Katie Ledecky, took off and left Katie Ledecky it was on for world
:05:12. > :05:18.record pace, the commentators will to -- talk you through the final
:05:18. > :05:28.stages. The world record line is on her head! Becky is starting to move
:05:28. > :05:32.
:05:32. > :05:41.back in the field, I am starting to a bit sluggish on that 100m. Katie
:05:41. > :05:44.Ledecky is still holding the gap. 1.5. She's going quicker, every 100.
:05:44. > :05:48.The pace she is swimming at is quicker than Lotte Friis and
:05:48. > :05:58.Rebecca Adlington. There is an American coach screaming his head
:05:58. > :05:59.
:05:59. > :06:07.off! Four have to go. The final of the women's 800m and Katie Ledecky
:06:07. > :06:14.is still at the world record pace. Bill Monty has already one the 200m
:06:14. > :06:21.butterfly silver medal. She is already 50m in front of Lotte Friis.
:06:21. > :06:28.This is dangerous. If we are not careful, Becky could slip into a
:06:28. > :06:35.different medal colour. Katie Ledecky, I am afraid degree might
:06:35. > :06:43.be over for us here. -- the dream it might be over. Becky is now
:06:43. > :06:53.scrapping fossil. -- for a silver medal. This race may not be over.
:06:53. > :07:03.The pace at which lane six is going is absolutely extraordinary. 100m
:07:03. > :07:16.
:07:16. > :07:20.Come on, Becky! Don't give it up! I think they are going to finish in
:07:20. > :07:25.this position. The question is whether Katie Ledecky can hold on
:07:25. > :07:30.and break the world record. You have to take your hat off to her.
:07:30. > :07:34.This 15-year-old has done what a number of teenagers have done. I
:07:34. > :07:39.think she will hold the world record. Becky Adlington came back
:07:39. > :07:44.very fast when she set the world record but Katie Ledecky is kicking
:07:44. > :07:49.hard and on it at the moment. Becky Adlington is coming back a little
:07:49. > :07:54.bit on the second place, but I think it will be bronze for Rebecca
:07:54. > :07:58.Adlington of Great Britain. Her second bronze, let's not forget.
:07:58. > :08:08.And big shock, Katie Ledecky will win gold in the women's 800m
:08:08. > :08:09.
:08:09. > :08:15.freestyle. It isn't a world record Rebecca Adlington's second bronze.
:08:15. > :08:21.She worked very hard. I gave it my absolute everything. I am sorry I
:08:21. > :08:24.did not get the gold medal like everybody was expecting. I hate it
:08:24. > :08:31.when people say silver and bronze is losing because you have not done
:08:31. > :08:35.my sport. It is one of the hardest Swart -- sports. It is so difficult
:08:35. > :08:42.and I hope the public realise it and are proud of me for getting the
:08:42. > :08:48.bronze medal. Two bronze medals, Becky, the sweet heart of the
:08:48. > :08:55.swimming pool. She should be and she is rightly proud of her
:08:55. > :09:00.achievements. We salute you, Becky. The greatest ever British Olympic
:09:00. > :09:04.swimmer. I am delighted to say she has made it here. That is the
:09:04. > :09:11.biggest crowd we have had outside the studio. Do you want to give
:09:11. > :09:17.them a wave? It is so nice. They are all going mental. There are
:09:18. > :09:23.thousands of them. That was such an impassioned post-race interview. It
:09:23. > :09:27.is a tough sport. Nobody gets medals for doing nothing. If there
:09:27. > :09:32.was disappointment, it was for you, not in a bronze medal, because we
:09:32. > :09:38.know what a champion you are. Obviously, so many mixed emotions.
:09:38. > :09:44.I obviously wanted to do better. It is more the time I was disappointed
:09:44. > :09:49.with. I have been going faster than that all years. It wasn't my night,
:09:49. > :09:54.I don't know what happened. I was so emotional. The home crowd was
:09:54. > :09:59.unbelievable. A how much did you know about Katie Ledecky? She went
:09:59. > :10:05.off like a train. It is the Olympic Games. Anything can happen,
:10:05. > :10:12.especially with swimming. We have seen that all week. I saw what she
:10:12. > :10:16.did at the trials. I think she qualified in 8.19. She was
:10:16. > :10:20.unbelievable. This is just the start for her career and she will
:10:20. > :10:25.go on to have an amazing career. Did you decide when she went so
:10:25. > :10:34.quickly, I will go with my own game plan, I will not tried to keep up
:10:34. > :10:40.with her? Yeah. You never know what is going to happen. 800 is a
:10:40. > :10:47.distance event, anything can happen. She went out for it, I tried to go
:10:47. > :10:53.with her as much as I could. I just didn't have anything left. I gave
:10:53. > :10:59.it 110%. It was so painful! I was so pleased to get on the podium. It
:10:59. > :11:05.was very tough. I am pleased to get on the podium. What has it been
:11:05. > :11:11.like, that at misfit, inside the Aquatics Centre? The noise is
:11:11. > :11:16.incredible. -- that atmosphere. is absolutely amazing. It is so
:11:16. > :11:21.different for us, a completely different. For the Australians, the
:11:21. > :11:25.Americans, they are used to having publicity and having everything
:11:25. > :11:31.because swimming is a lot bigger there, but for us swimming is only
:11:31. > :11:36.starting to grow. It is brilliant but we still have a long way to go,
:11:36. > :11:42.and we have never experienced anything like us. I have only ever
:11:42. > :11:47.experienced being in front of 3,000, so this is fantastic. No matter
:11:47. > :11:51.what country, the crowd has got behind every one. Not partisan.
:11:51. > :12:00.They have just been excited to see some swimming and see how much
:12:00. > :12:05.effort every athlete is putting in I found it difficult defending my
:12:05. > :12:09.Olympic title and I found it tough competing at home games. You had
:12:09. > :12:14.the double whammy, both of those combined comedy you feel the
:12:14. > :12:21.expectations that were poignant hold you back? I don't think they
:12:21. > :12:27.held me back, I think it was something I wasn't used to. For me,
:12:27. > :12:32.it was -- I was an unknown swimmer before Beijing, I was training in
:12:32. > :12:38.the same small club by always trained in, I never wanted the
:12:38. > :12:44.faint or anything, so after Beijing, the support was there. But most
:12:44. > :12:53.people who achieve a two golds normally go on to retire, so for me,
:12:53. > :12:59.it was different, being a home games, and the M23 this time.
:12:59. > :13:02.am 23. To go into this games as double champion has put huge
:13:02. > :13:07.pressure on you, and to combine that with being in front of these
:13:07. > :13:12.kinds of crowd, you just don't know what impact that will have, I think
:13:12. > :13:16.you have done amazing. I don't think you can prepare for something
:13:16. > :13:21.that you don't know what it is going to be like, what it is like
:13:21. > :13:24.to defend your title, so we think you have done a tremendous job. I
:13:24. > :13:34.know, watching you and the reaction, everyone is really proud of what
:13:34. > :13:38.you have at -- accomplished. Hopes are! It is a bit close to the event
:13:38. > :13:44.to imagine another cycle of training? I don't know, I expected
:13:44. > :13:47.a different result coming into this, so it is completely different now.
:13:47. > :13:52.There are so many young guys that have come through, which is amazing
:13:52. > :13:57.to see, I think it is incredible for the sport, it encourages other
:13:57. > :14:01.people as well. I know that when I was younger, I could do a hard
:14:01. > :14:05.session after a hard session, whereas I haven't been able to in
:14:05. > :14:09.the last few years, I have had to have a lot more recovery, so it for
:14:09. > :14:16.me it might be one of those things where I have to move down an event.
:14:16. > :14:22.I think I have a charity bike ride to do next in Zambia! I remember
:14:22. > :14:27.talking to you after Beijing, you were toying with the idea of doing
:14:27. > :14:34.Strictly Come Dancing... I would love to, I would be so rubbish! IM
:14:34. > :14:39.awful, I cannot do anything but swimming. That will be on your
:14:39. > :14:48.answer machine! We will look for a few more races, it is the women's
:14:48. > :14:58.200 metres backstroke next. Lizzie Symons was going next. Miss T
:14:58. > :15:08.
:15:08. > :15:16.she is still there. -- Simmons. She has got to dig deep. Lizzie, now in
:15:16. > :15:20.third place, she has had a decent turn it there, but it looks like in
:15:20. > :15:25.lane six, the Russian is getting into the silver medal position. But
:15:25. > :15:35.it is all about Franklin, the 17- year-old from a Colorado, I'm sure
:15:35. > :15:44.she's going to break the world record. The world record belonged
:15:44. > :15:51.to Kirsty Coventry, now it belongs to me see Franklin! She has won the
:15:52. > :16:01.gold medal. The Russian against the silver. Lizzie Symmonds, just in
:16:01. > :16:06.4th, what a great swing from out You mentioned are the teenage
:16:06. > :16:11.sensations coming through, Franklin is one of those as well. Is it
:16:11. > :16:17.exciting having these young kids coming through? It does make me
:16:17. > :16:22.feel old, and I am at 23, and that is bad to say! At the same time, it
:16:23. > :16:26.is so great to see, it is amazing. It has been unpredictable, these
:16:26. > :16:30.Olympics are more than ever have been unpredictable, it has been
:16:30. > :16:34.great to see the younger guys coming through. When you're younger,
:16:34. > :16:40.you don't have any fear, whereas when you are older, it is a lot
:16:40. > :16:45.more intense. Maybe we all need to go back to feeling young and having
:16:45. > :16:52.no fear or, it is amazing to see all the races. So many dramatic
:16:52. > :16:59.races. I get so emotional, the other night I was like, calm down,
:16:59. > :17:04.I am racing tomorrow night! It was the men's 100 metres butterfly. Mr
:17:04. > :17:14.Phelps, aiming for his third straight gold in this event. The
:17:14. > :17:28.
:17:28. > :17:35.South Africans Chad le Clos was in quick off the blocks. He looks
:17:35. > :17:43.pretty good down this first 50. The Serbian has gone off like a shot in
:17:43. > :17:50.six. Phelps is a bit behind, he doesn't need to be too far behind.
:17:50. > :18:00.He and le Clos are very strong finishes. He is going to come
:18:00. > :18:00.
:18:00. > :18:05.through now. Michael Phelps, coming back very strongly. He needs to,
:18:05. > :18:13.because he is not winning at the moment. Michael Dobbs in Lane four,
:18:13. > :18:23.still has a lot of work to do -- Michael Phelps. Phelps has got it!
:18:23. > :18:23.
:18:23. > :18:33.The gold but all goes to him, the Silver Ghost to Le class. Michael
:18:33. > :18:37.
:18:37. > :18:44.Dobbs wins the Gold, and a tie for He just got his own back on and the
:18:44. > :18:49.class. It is not -- he is not quite ready to hand over his mantle yet.
:18:50. > :18:53.Maybe not, it is great to see him like this, quite relaxed, feeling
:18:53. > :19:01.as though it is his last one, and really appreciating each of these
:19:01. > :19:07.performances. His reaction has been a great as well. He has been
:19:07. > :19:13.Gracias, in his response to his success -- he has been gracious.
:19:13. > :19:17.Just taking it all in? I think the ability to be able to enjoy being
:19:17. > :19:22.in and an Olympic arena is something very few people achieve.
:19:23. > :19:28.I don't know how much you have enjoyed being a home games, talking
:19:28. > :19:33.about athletics, Usain Bolt enjoys what he has got, and Phelps seems
:19:33. > :19:37.to have got it this time. He has been incredible, even when a good
:19:37. > :19:42.second at the other day, he was walking Chadha through ever think
:19:42. > :19:46.of it was so nice to see. I have loved the crowd, there is an
:19:46. > :19:54.element where you have got to focus, remember why you're here, but you
:19:54. > :20:03.have to remember why it -- enjoy it as well. Can you explain what the
:20:03. > :20:07.crowd sounds like? Buzzer, noise, and was there, everything. The
:20:07. > :20:17.level of noise is just insane. There was plenty tonight, because
:20:17. > :20:19.
:20:19. > :20:27.it was the men's 50 metres don't know what you do there, he is
:20:27. > :20:37.not meant to bang the gun until everyone is still. Foreign manager
:20:37. > :20:44.of France is in the lead, -- Florent Manaudou. He has got there!
:20:44. > :20:54.In his first ever senior final of the for -- 50 metres freestyle, he
:20:54. > :20:55.
:20:55. > :21:00.If we had looked at the top nations, the USA are still top of the table,
:21:00. > :21:06.we weren't going to Australia's predicament at the moment...
:21:06. > :21:11.want to save it for later! China doing well as well. Continuing the
:21:11. > :21:16.programme they put in place for their own Olympics four years ago.
:21:16. > :21:21.Definitely. We have all said, maybe we will have an amazing game in --
:21:21. > :21:26.games in Rio. The bigger countries always do well, they have more
:21:26. > :21:33.facilities, more people, everything. I'm just so pleased that Britain
:21:33. > :21:39.are doing well, we up there on the medal table. One more wave to the
:21:39. > :21:42.crowd before you leave her. I can't believe they are still here!
:21:42. > :21:49.think you are going to find it difficult getting out of here
:21:49. > :21:59.tonight. High drama last night in the cycling as P&G were trying to
:21:59. > :22:17.
:22:17. > :22:27.build another city of gold in the Great Britain are the fastest of
:22:27. > :22:32.
:22:32. > :22:40.Gold medal for Great Britain, a new So what would tonight bring?
:22:40. > :22:50.Britain had high hopes. The women's keirin shortly, but first, thought
:22:50. > :22:52.
:22:52. > :22:58.The team up of a GB quartet Ed Clancy, Steven Burke, Edgar Wright
:22:58. > :23:02.Thomas and Peter Kennaugh are faced Denmark in the final. -- in the
:23:02. > :23:12.semi-final. They set up the gold medal race against their old foes,
:23:12. > :23:36.
:23:36. > :23:43.world record schedule here. What a here! The Great Britain four are
:23:43. > :23:53.inspired. But Australia haven't panicked and are trying to peg back
:23:53. > :24:26.
:24:26. > :24:33.kilometre or, still looking very and they are they in 2.54, and
:24:33. > :24:41.Australia are buckling! Half a lap to go for the British team. The
:24:41. > :24:49.world record is 3.52, the gold medal to his Great Britain's! Look
:24:49. > :24:57.at the time! It is a new world record, and Great Britain have won
:24:58. > :25:07.the gold medal! A faultless display there. Australia, beaten
:25:08. > :25:14.
:25:14. > :25:22.champions are the team of Great Britain. Ed Clancy, Steven Burke,
:25:22. > :25:30.Geraint Thomas and Peter Kennaugh. So Great Britain conquer the
:25:30. > :25:38.opposition in a riveting contest. They personified the ultimate class
:25:38. > :25:41.throughout all three rounds. I They took almost a second off their
:25:41. > :25:46.own world record, and when Great Britain were so dominant in Beijing,
:25:46. > :25:49.the pressure was really on here, because the rest of the world wants
:25:49. > :25:56.to beat Great Britain. The performance director has moved it
:25:56. > :26:00.up another notch. It is the normal what they have done. They had a
:26:00. > :26:03.massive target on their back after Beijing. We talked about the
:26:03. > :26:07.pressure with Becky and how that can play in your mind, but they
:26:07. > :26:12.have reinvented themselves. Chris Woolley is the king in fantastic
:26:12. > :26:18.shape. Just to discipline, the attention to detail they have is
:26:18. > :26:22.almost un-British, actually! We are going to win at all costs! We were
:26:22. > :26:26.saying this about the changing attitude within Team GB, the mental
:26:26. > :26:31.side of winning and not being afraid to win. That is what they
:26:31. > :26:34.have done. They have set the standard for the whole of British
:26:34. > :26:44.sport and those of his huge amount of praise. Without further ado I am
:26:44. > :26:58.
:26:58. > :27:05.delighted to say that we are going # Gold #
:27:05. > :27:11.we are now level with Melbourne! Fantastic work! Can I come back
:27:11. > :27:17.now? Yeah, you don't have to stay there. It is that Peter Kay walked
:27:18. > :27:23.to the dance floor. Let's move on to the women's keirin. Queen Vic
:27:23. > :27:29.had a rare fall from grace yesterday. Her first shot at goal
:27:29. > :27:35.yesterday was gone. Today, could she make amends? She was up against
:27:35. > :27:39.fierce rival Anna Meares from Australia. She cruised to victory,
:27:39. > :27:44.giving herself a confidence boost in an event which is not one of her
:27:44. > :27:48.strongest. In the second semi-final, she was equally impressive, first
:27:48. > :27:58.at the field. So could she get the victory? Rejoin the race when it
:27:58. > :28:02.
:28:02. > :28:11.end! The crowd are waiting for the first strike and it comes from
:28:11. > :28:16.Meares, the world champion! She has won its the last two years. It is
:28:16. > :28:23.the first time the keirin has been in the Olympic Games for the women.
:28:23. > :28:33.Here is Pendleton! Meares looking for that challenge! Victoria
:28:33. > :28:47.
:28:47. > :28:53.medal! She is the Olympic keirin champion! It looks like the Hong
:28:53. > :28:58.Kong Li it took the bronze. Meares was completely washed away.
:28:58. > :29:02.Pendleton's jump to the front was absolutely incredible. I thought
:29:02. > :29:07.that Guo Shuang might challenge around the outside but no, Victoria
:29:07. > :29:13.Pendleton held her off. She has got a gold medal with which to finish
:29:13. > :29:17.her career. What a way to go out. And what a bonus to her morale for
:29:17. > :29:23.the sprint competition that is still to come. She has got one in
:29:23. > :29:29.the bag, she has got what she worked so hard to get. The judges
:29:29. > :29:34.are just checking. But Victoria Pendleton, on this occasion, no
:29:34. > :29:39.infringements for her. She is celebrating with the Union Jack in
:29:39. > :29:44.her hand. That is her second Olympic gold medal. She won the
:29:44. > :29:49.gold for the sprint in Beijing, and now she has the gold for the keirin.
:29:49. > :29:54.That was genius, a masterclass by Pendleton. We know she is in the
:29:54. > :30:00.form of her life and that reflected so strongly. She hit the front and
:30:00. > :30:05.nobody was going to deny her. Second gold medal for her in the
:30:05. > :30:12.Olympic Games. Her first was four years ago in Beijing, when she won
:30:12. > :30:21.the gold for the Sprint. And now with that sensational display, she
:30:21. > :30:25.wins the first ever women's keirin What a huge day for Victoria after
:30:25. > :30:31.the disappointment of yesterday. It takes mental strength of some
:30:31. > :30:36.degree to put that to one side. She was in incredible form. The pace
:30:36. > :30:41.she had at the end of that penultimate lap was remarkable.
:30:41. > :30:48.From crisis to gold medal to crisis, she wears her heart on her sleeve,
:30:48. > :30:55.it is soap opera stuff! It was not a great day for Australia. Anna
:30:55. > :31:00.Meares may be went a bit air LEA. guess she did. -- a bit too early.
:31:00. > :31:09.I am not an expert in the keirin, I must admit. That is why we got you
:31:09. > :31:13.on! Meares went too early and was not in good form obviously! The
:31:13. > :31:19.finish is really interesting in the keirin and Victoria Pendleton was
:31:19. > :31:24.well down on her bike. The Chinese was up quite high and it did not
:31:24. > :31:29.come down on photo-finish. Victoria went out of the sprinter's lane and
:31:29. > :31:33.we had a heart in mouth moment because the adjudicators were
:31:33. > :31:39.looking at their computer screens and we thought, he we go again! But
:31:39. > :31:49.it is in their discretion. -- here we go again! Had she impeded the
:31:49. > :31:54.Chinese right enough, but obviously it wasn't a problem. There was no
:31:54. > :32:00.problem, but don't try to start mixing It, Meares will not get
:32:00. > :32:03.gold! She said yesterday, the silver lining was that she was so
:32:03. > :32:07.quick and all the British cyclists have got what records in their
:32:07. > :32:15.events. They have gone to another level, when you did not think they
:32:15. > :32:18.could get any better. It has been remarkable. A great Olympian, let's
:32:18. > :32:28.salute her. Another gold medals. It is time for...
:32:28. > :32:28.
:32:28. > :32:33.# Gold #. Up to seven. We are just two below
:32:33. > :32:40.Athens. Come back and rejoin the fold. I said to him earlier,
:32:40. > :32:48.Jonathan, we will be doing the Totalisator night, he said, yes, I
:32:48. > :32:53.saw it in the corner. But look! can get to 35? We will talk about
:32:53. > :32:59.Australia later! It has been an incredible day. Let's go to the
:32:59. > :33:04.water now at Eton Dorney. This was a day to savour. Olympic spirit was
:33:04. > :33:09.there in bucket loads. Katherine Grainger, three-time silver
:33:09. > :33:14.medallist, chasing dreams of a first Olympic gold. All eyes were
:33:14. > :33:19.on her and her partner, Anna Watkins, and we focus on their
:33:19. > :33:24.story. At the age of 36, most people in sport are only looking
:33:24. > :33:29.one way, back on the days of promise, when a silver medal was
:33:29. > :33:35.but a start, when a second silver was still satisfactory, when a
:33:35. > :33:40.third sell-by was a sign that this Korea were stuck on silver -- when
:33:40. > :33:47.a third silver was a sign that your career was stuck on a silver.
:33:47. > :33:54.would dearly love an Olympic gold medal. If you could pick up one
:33:54. > :34:00.person out of the hall GB regatta who would win... What's if it all
:34:00. > :34:04.goes wrong. Katherine Grainger is not like most people in sport and
:34:04. > :34:10.at 36, she was looking not backwards but forwards, to one last
:34:10. > :34:16.adventure. Alive to be defined in the next six-and-a-half minutes --
:34:16. > :34:26.a life of. It is a steely look of determination. The British crew in
:34:26. > :34:35.
:34:35. > :34:42.Surely now we are down to two in this final chasing the gold medal.
:34:42. > :34:46.We cannot allow ourselves to discount Australia. We are through
:34:46. > :34:55.the halfway mark now in the final half of their women's double sculls.
:34:55. > :35:01.If they can break three -- break free now, they are a way! The
:35:01. > :35:07.adrenalin must be coming through their bodies now! Let's do this,
:35:07. > :35:15.guys! Let's finish the story! The crowd opposite are going absolutely
:35:15. > :35:25.wild! Perhaps the most important final of this whole Olympic
:35:25. > :35:31.
:35:31. > :35:35.It has taken 12 long years, a ton of support, and the crowds are on
:35:35. > :35:40.their feet, a cacophony of noise around, the whole of the media
:35:40. > :35:45.stand on their feet, we are a Claudy new Katherine Grainger and
:35:45. > :35:55.Anna Watkins! Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing right now is
:35:55. > :36:01.that dream coming true! -- we are applauding you! At long, long last,
:36:01. > :36:08.Katherine Grainger is the Olympic champion! Katherine Grainger, at
:36:08. > :36:13.the age of 36, looking in whichever direction she likes. Steve promised
:36:13. > :36:21.me there would be tears of joy this time and they are. Looking great.
:36:21. > :36:26.I am delighted to say Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins are
:36:26. > :36:30.outside their hotel somewhere in Windsor. Good evening and
:36:30. > :36:37.congratulations. There is a slight delay but never mind. You have
:36:37. > :36:41.waited 12 years for this. How does it feel in comparison to their
:36:41. > :36:48.three previous of the medals you have had a round your neck? Now I
:36:48. > :36:51.can talk about them being silver, it is OK! From four years ago, it
:36:52. > :36:56.is chalk and cheese. It is everything I hoped it would be and
:36:56. > :37:01.more. It is the most incredible feeling. The embrace that you had
:37:01. > :37:05.with Steve Redgrave on the riverbank was just so emotional and
:37:05. > :37:12.there was obviously a real connection. Has he been a source of
:37:12. > :37:17.inspiration and guidance? Yeah. Without a shadow of a doubt. He is
:37:17. > :37:22.an absolute rock of support. He has been so generous with his time and
:37:22. > :37:27.advice. He has wanted this almost as much as I have. He speaks with
:37:27. > :37:33.such authority, he has experienced so much and is willing to share it
:37:33. > :37:40.with us, and he has been there for us every step. That moment at the
:37:40. > :37:46.end was a moment we had to get. grandstand, the nation winning the
:37:46. > :37:51.gold medal on. Anna Watkins, did you feel, crikey, my goodness, I am
:37:51. > :37:57.in the boat with her? Oh I will be there for the glory but I am also
:37:57. > :38:03.the person they will be looking at?! Yeah, the whole team is close
:38:03. > :38:09.and we are all very aware of Katherine Grainger's story. The
:38:09. > :38:14.whole team wanted it for each other and we have worked hard, but most
:38:14. > :38:17.of all we wanted it to prove to ourselves what a special boat this
:38:17. > :38:22.is and what a good journey we have had together and it has got a bit
:38:22. > :38:26.of magic and we wanted to show a bit of that magic. And you two
:38:26. > :38:34.obviously have a special partnership. This isn't the end, is
:38:34. > :38:39.it? LAUGHTER. Everyone is asking that! We only ever wanted to look
:38:39. > :38:44.as far as August 3rd and it was all about the result today and what we
:38:44. > :38:49.could deliver when it really matter the most. We have not dared to look
:38:49. > :38:54.beyond this. We are just soaking it up. What is it like to be part of
:38:54. > :39:00.this incredible team? The success has been incredible so far, another
:39:00. > :39:04.day to go. Do you feed off each other? Yeah, there is a good
:39:04. > :39:09.momentum. Because we trained together, we are all aware of how
:39:09. > :39:15.good the others are in the team and once the first medal came in,
:39:15. > :39:19.especially Helene and have a's gold, you think, the team is on track now
:39:19. > :39:25.-- Have there. We can't wait till tomorrow Tucci everybody on. It was
:39:25. > :39:29.just the most emotional, wonderful, wonderful race. The nation wanted
:39:29. > :39:35.it for you and it is wonderful when things come off in sport that
:39:35. > :39:41.people have worked hard for, so huge congratulations. Stick around
:39:41. > :39:46.if you will for a couple of minutes because we will go to our
:39:46. > :39:52.Totalisator in the studio. Spandau Ballet, please, director!
:39:52. > :39:57.# Gold #. Jonathan, if you could move the
:39:57. > :40:01.Totalisator up. The ladies can't see it. Just imagine Jonathan
:40:01. > :40:05.Edwards stars in towards Big Ben in the studio, and he he's moving and
:40:05. > :40:13.arrow up one place where their next gold medal is. Have you got that
:40:13. > :40:19.image in your mind? Yeah! LAUGHTER. He is very talented and he did that
:40:19. > :40:22.beautifully. There was more emotion, agony and ecstasy this morning at
:40:23. > :40:29.Eton Dorney and in the men's, more Herculean performances were on
:40:29. > :40:35.display. Overwhelming favourites, the New Zealand pair of Eric Murray
:40:35. > :40:45.and Hamish Bond were unstoppable, but George Nash and Will Satch were
:40:45. > :40:55.
:40:55. > :40:59.there for Britain, and here are the This is it, the push for the line!
:40:59. > :41:06.Great Britain are doing beautifully in third place... The Olympic
:41:06. > :41:11.champions, making it a clean sweep. New Zealand. This is the fight for
:41:11. > :41:19.the silver medal. Right on the line. Great Britain, a well deserved
:41:19. > :41:24.bronze medal! They put their whole life on the line. But it was the
:41:24. > :41:30.experience of the French that was able to hold on. But we salute New
:41:30. > :41:37.Zealand and we should do, they came out of the fall back in Beijing,
:41:38. > :41:41.and look at that. A wonderful Six months ago with this pairing
:41:41. > :41:48.had doubts about making the Olympics come at a winter away,

:41:55. > :41:58.the men's singles sculls, the loneliest event, the New Zealand

:42:08. > :42:15.
:42:15. > :42:25.went out asked. We joined it with he is out there, he has got the
:42:25. > :42:27.
:42:27. > :42:34.crowd with him. He must know that is a job well done, the Czech

:42:43. > :42:47.in lane three, it is going to be a so desperate... The Czech Republic
:42:47. > :42:52.will get the silver medal, and the fight now, right to the line, it is
:42:52. > :43:02.going to the wire, and it is going to be Alan Campbell on the line,
:43:02. > :43:04.
:43:04. > :43:12.getting the bronze medal! That will Alan Campbell, exhausted beyond
:43:12. > :43:19.belief, but you're a bronze medallist. I am very proud. I
:43:19. > :43:27.trained for 10 years, Bill has coached me from day one, he has
:43:27. > :43:34.taken me to three Olympics. It was disappointing last time what
:43:34. > :43:39.happened, it was hard coming away from those games for nothing, no
:43:39. > :43:49.medals, and two guys were quicker than me today, I did everything I
:43:49. > :43:49.
:43:49. > :43:58.could, but ultimately, I wasn't able to match them today. I'm just

:44:17. > :44:26.and you... I don't know if they are stuck in traffic, or maybe Alan has
:44:26. > :44:31.gone to sleep! He just gave every last drop in his body, didn't he?
:44:31. > :44:36.Yes, we hadn't seen those pictures, we haven't seen Alan in that state
:44:36. > :44:41.before, it was obviously an emotional day for him. That event
:44:41. > :44:46.is absolutely nails. All those athletes, they are hugely respected
:44:46. > :44:51.within the rowing world. For him to come up with a medal in that event,
:44:51. > :44:55.he has the respect of the whole team. Will and George, that was
:44:55. > :44:59.some race, some Olympic Games they have had. They were not so much the
:44:59. > :45:04.least fancied but the least expected from them. It is quite a
:45:04. > :45:11.new pairing, it wasn't really an expectation of a medal. What talent
:45:11. > :45:15.we have for the future there? Absolutely. They were put together,
:45:15. > :45:19.they haven't had a lot of time together, they came into a very
:45:19. > :45:23.competitive event which the Kiwis have been winning by miles to stop
:45:23. > :45:27.so they have done fantastically well, they have raced incredibly
:45:27. > :45:33.maturely for the whole contest. I do know they are out celebrity
:45:33. > :45:37.already tonight! And absolutely deserved, because it does medals
:45:37. > :45:41.mean so much to the people who earn them. Tell them why won't take
:45:41. > :45:51.offence, maybe we will catch up with them some other time! Any tips
:45:51. > :45:57.for tomorrow? I will pass that on. Tricky one. The lightweight women's
:45:57. > :46:04.doubles, around lunchtime. We have got three finals, and all three
:46:04. > :46:10.Agbos will be good ones, we have at the men's and mixed doubles also
:46:10. > :46:16.and the lightweight doubles, we will be out there cheering. It has
:46:16. > :46:26.been fantastic, I am glad you have enjoyed it, I hold -- hope you can

:50:13. > :50:18.a judo medal and then you get two at once. Well done to Karina Bryant,

:50:54. > :50:58.amount of pressure on the sports, some of them had funding because it

:56:35. > :56:40.25 points from the American, Hyleas Fountain. She looks determined. She
:56:40. > :56:45.has thrown a couple of lifetime bests this year sushi should be
:56:45. > :56:55.confident of repeating that performance. -- so she should be.
:56:55. > :57:04.
:57:04. > :57:14.It certainly is longer. The crowd really packs a punch on that four a
:57:14. > :57:18.
:57:18. > :57:24.kg shot. Come on, we want more did not get the balance right, and
:57:24. > :57:30.the rhythm. Brilliant in the hurdles, pretty good in the high
:57:31. > :57:38.jump, average in the shot put. So we have a new leader in the
:57:38. > :57:42.heptathlon, or Austra Skujyte of Lithuania. Jessica Ennis is now in
:57:43. > :57:50.second place, for the very first time on this first day of the
:57:50. > :58:00.heptathlon. The heptathlon 200m. Can she finished off in the same
:58:00. > :58:18.
:58:18. > :58:22.benevolence is flying! Jess Ennis is closing head down! -- Dafne
:58:22. > :58:27.Schippers of the Netherlands! Jessica Ennis may have just taken
:58:27. > :58:32.it on the line! It is a personal best for Jess Ennis, more points
:58:32. > :58:37.than she has ever had in this event, a good end to a pretty good first
:58:37. > :58:44.day for Jessica Ennis and it put set in the number one spot. That is
:58:44. > :58:49.way you want to be after day it one. That is how it looks after four
:58:49. > :58:56.events. That is her highest first- day total. She broke the British
:58:56. > :58:59.record a few months ago and she did better today. Highs and lows for
:58:59. > :59:09.her today. We watched in the stadium the hurdles and were like,
:59:09. > :59:09.
:59:09. > :59:15.where did that come from? It equalled the 110 metres hurdles in
:59:15. > :59:25.Beijing! This track is fast. The women today, in the second round,
:59:25. > :59:25.
:59:26. > :59:31.That is really exciting. She did OK in the high jump, not so good in a
:59:31. > :59:36.shot put, and then came back in the 200. She was disappointed with the
:59:36. > :59:42.high jump. Yes because she is equal British record holder. She has had
:59:42. > :59:47.a problem with her leg. That is why she missed Beijing. This is her
:59:47. > :59:52.first Olympics. To take that pressure is remarkable. Tomorrow is
:59:52. > :59:57.the day. The long jump and javelin could be nemesis events for her.
:59:57. > :00:02.That is the agenda for tomorrow. It will all end at around 8:35pm
:00:02. > :00:06.tomorrow evening. She has had to change her technique for the long
:00:06. > :00:12.jump. She had to change her take- off leg because of the stress
:00:12. > :00:18.fracture. She can jump very well and she can loss -- jump very badly.
:00:18. > :00:24.She lost the indoor title to Dobrynska in Istanbul because of
:00:24. > :00:30.hardcore long jump. She also lost another one on a very broad javelin.
:00:30. > :00:36.So it his fingers crossed. She has the pressure of being the face of
:00:36. > :00:40.the Games. You know all about that, you and Cathy Freeman in Sydney.
:00:40. > :00:45.Watching the way she has been able to perform this far, she has
:00:45. > :00:49.performed extremely well. The three other parts of this event tomorrow,
:00:49. > :00:57.hopefully she has a good night's league and can get on with it, but
:00:57. > :01:05.the pressure has rolled off her shoulders, and rolled off her ADS!
:01:05. > :01:12.-- her abs! Christine Ohuruogu has got herself a difficult semi-final
:01:12. > :01:16.line-up. Sanya Richards is there. She has got a difficult line up. I
:01:16. > :01:22.don't know why Carl Lewis said he would put his money on her, that is
:01:22. > :01:28.not right. She has Sanya Richards, probably the favourite. Two good
:01:28. > :01:32.Russians as well. The thing about Christine, she won in Beijing, has
:01:32. > :01:38.actually done nothing in three years, beats the world champion in
:01:38. > :01:42.the final race. It is her manner. wouldn't be surprised if she won. I
:01:43. > :01:48.am not sure I would put my money on it but she has a chance for.

:01:54. > :01:58.inside lane. He has never or run the inside lane, certainly in
:01:58. > :02:04.hurdles. You might do it in training. You have got to hit you
:02:05. > :02:09.with them in hurdles -- hit your rhythm in huddles of stock he
:02:09. > :02:15.looked quite comfortable. I think he will be in the mix but he will
:02:15. > :02:21.have to run really, really well. Long jump today. Chris Tomlinson
:02:21. > :02:26.and Greg Rutherford, both of them did OK. Colin knows more about that
:02:26. > :02:33.and he does the women's 400m! disappointed generally with long
:02:33. > :02:38.jump that it has not moved on. is rubbish this year. The Olympic
:02:38. > :02:44.champion fouled. Both the Brits got through. Only six or seven went
:02:44. > :02:46.over eight metres and only two got the automatic qualification.
:02:46. > :02:52.Carl Lewis saying he would be surprised if they jumped over
:02:52. > :02:58.eight? Nine. He said the coaching has not moved on in long jump, that
:02:58. > :03:03.is what he was saying. Possibly. Some good athletes have struggled
:03:03. > :03:09.with injury. Dwight Phillips is the reigning world champion, he is
:03:10. > :03:13.injured, but there is nobody of the calibre of Carl Lewis. He is my
:03:13. > :03:18.favourite Olympian of all time, to be honest, even though Keane knows
:03:18. > :03:25.nothing about the final of the women's 400m -- even though he
:03:25. > :03:32.knows nothing! And that 10,000m, Dibaba was incredible. Tirunesh
:03:32. > :03:36.Dibaba, we said Jess Ennis was small, she is absolutely tiny! But
:03:36. > :03:41.what a runner! Brendan and Steve said it in commentary, the greatest
:03:41. > :03:46.female distance runner of all time. They said we were looking at
:03:46. > :03:53.something very special. Julie Ian Bleasdale and Jo Pavey were 7th and
:03:53. > :03:57.8. They both ran a personal bests. Jo did not get selected for the
:03:58. > :04:02.marathon and went back to the track and has done this, so very good.
:04:02. > :04:12.Let's go back to the water now and our latest instalment of our *
:04:12. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:27.sailor. Ben Ainslie's defence of his title has gathered momentum.
:04:27. > :04:34.
:04:34. > :04:39.Here is Rob walk up with the latest Basically, they ganged up on me! I
:04:39. > :04:42.have no choice because if it goes to a protest it is two against one.
:04:42. > :04:48.They made a big mistake because I am angry, those guys had better
:04:48. > :04:52.watch out. Yesterday Ben Ainslie found his fire. And accusations
:04:52. > :04:58.from his two the nearest rivals led to what he believed was an
:04:58. > :05:06.unnecessary penalty. Today was about reading a point and
:05:06. > :05:12.positioning full Sunday's showdown. -- proving a point. The Danish man
:05:12. > :05:18.has got the best start. Christensen is producing the regatta of his
:05:18. > :05:24.life and he wasn't about Rover with one day remaining. There is 150
:05:24. > :05:28.metres to go now. Ben Ainslie is just one boat behind. He will lose
:05:28. > :05:33.another point to the Danish sailor. Ben Ainslie has only beaten him
:05:33. > :05:36.twice out here so far and this is the end of race nine. Ben Ainslie
:05:36. > :05:41.is blessed with the rare quality of being able to find something
:05:41. > :05:46.special, something surprising, at just the right time, and in the
:05:46. > :05:51.last race of the day, he did. are seeing pictures of Ben Ainslie,
:05:51. > :05:56.it looks like he was slowing down. I think he is starting to play with
:05:56. > :06:01.the Danish sailor. This is significant. I have never seen a
:06:01. > :06:06.moment like this outside of a medal race in the Olympic Games. Ben
:06:06. > :06:13.Ainslie was fought out in front but he is given to go for the Danish
:06:13. > :06:19.sailor and try to push him down the fleet. He wanted to get in front of
:06:19. > :06:23.the Danish sailor and get in front of his clean wind, to slow him down
:06:23. > :06:30.and allow the Dutchman to overtake, costing Hull Christenson and
:06:30. > :06:33.valuable place. It was British crucial that the Dutch sailor
:06:33. > :06:37.managed to overtake Jonas Hogh- Christensen and get the point in
:06:37. > :06:42.between. To all intents and purposes, that puts us equal going
:06:42. > :06:50.into the major races. So the stage is set and a nation expects.
:06:50. > :06:58.History is waiting to be written. What a competitor he is. He said
:06:58. > :07:02.yesterday, don't make me angry. I am not sure if you had that.
:07:02. > :07:08.Everybody has felt like that. seems to bring the best out of him,
:07:08. > :07:12.when his back is against the wall. If you are going to get your money
:07:12. > :07:17.out and back a British medallist, it would be Ben Ainslie. In the
:07:17. > :07:21.first few days, we thought it would go horribly wrong. I think he will
:07:21. > :07:25.get more recognition for having done it this way. What a cool
:07:25. > :07:30.customer for what he did to the Danish sailor. And he is back on
:07:30. > :07:39.course for a magnificent fourth gold medal. Talking of magnificent,
:07:39. > :07:47.it is time now for this. The magnificent seven, though sadly
:07:47. > :07:57.now only six. Freddie Evans was in action today, facing a Lithuanian

:14:19. > :14:25.still proud of what the team has done, but it hasn't been a good
:14:25. > :14:30.result for us, simple as that. And they will be asking questions, why
