:01:17. > :01:22.What we are seen right now is that The Olympic flame, burning brightly,
:01:22. > :01:27.as another fabulous, fabulous day draws to a close. A look at the
:01:27. > :01:34.scenes, as crowds leave the Olympic Stadium after what has been one of
:01:34. > :01:38.the most historic night in British sport. We have a cracking line-up,
:01:38. > :01:48.and on this super Saturday, suitably scintillating so first
:01:48. > :01:57.
:01:57. > :02:04.She will be delighted with that! Mary Peters has beaten all of them
:02:04. > :02:12.for the gold medal. Denise Lewis is the Olympic champion, she has got

:02:36. > :02:43.Great Britain has ruled the regatta, it was another by normal day on the
:02:43. > :02:50.water at Eton Daunay. - Margaret phenomenal day. Play two of the
:02:50. > :02:56.heptathlon, and the chance of glory. Gebrselassie, Bekele, could Mo
:02:56. > :02:59.Farah at his name to an incredible list of the 10,000 metres
:02:59. > :03:09.champions? And there was one gold on offer in
:03:09. > :03:14.We have also had an incredible long jump competition. Let's start with
:03:14. > :03:19.a dramatic day at the rowing. Before today Great Britain had one
:03:19. > :03:24.six medals on the water at Eton Daunay, we went in three of the
:03:24. > :03:34.four finals, and yet again it was a day of high drama and a few tissues
:03:34. > :03:48.
:03:48. > :03:58.go! Great Britain and get the gold medal! It is going to be a so
:03:58. > :03:59.
:03:59. > :04:07.close! One last time! We are going to get it! It is Great Britain,
:04:07. > :04:12.from Australia! Gold medal, what a perfect, perfect day. Here we go,
:04:13. > :04:18.it is going to be great. We are now a wave finally, after all the talk
:04:18. > :04:23.that has come out of the Aussie camp, we are in the final of the
:04:23. > :04:29.men's coxless fours. Great Britain, the defending champions, coming out
:04:29. > :04:34.of the starting blocks. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, and Great
:04:34. > :04:42.Britain have four of them here. Now the confidence will start to build
:04:42. > :04:47.here. Great Britain, Australia and the USA. Great Britain in lane six,
:04:47. > :04:55.so varied and relaxed. This is starting to develop into the two
:04:55. > :05:03.Boat race we did expected. -- we expected. This will be like a
:05:03. > :05:08.heavyweight boxing match, like no other in international rowing. Here
:05:08. > :05:12.comes the wall of sound. Great Britain, stretching out. This is
:05:12. > :05:17.where it is going to matter. But this is going to the wire, and
:05:17. > :05:21.Australia are still in this. The Australians are charging, but the
:05:21. > :05:27.British will defend their Olympic title! We have done it! We have
:05:27. > :05:37.done it in style! Great Britain, the Olympic champions once more,
:05:37. > :05:40.
:05:40. > :05:48.and it was a magnificent effort It doesn't feel real. It doesn't
:05:48. > :05:51.feel like we have one the Olympics. I am just very proud. I am so
:05:51. > :05:57.relieved, the support was just incredible. It really lifted us,
:05:57. > :06:01.stop us making mistakes in the last 500. I'm thrilled and proud of my
:06:01. > :06:06.guys, proud of what we have done in the past few weeks, I couldn't be
:06:06. > :06:09.happier. Building up has been a lot of expectation and pressure from
:06:09. > :06:16.ourselves, we have wanted this so badly. The way we have gone about
:06:16. > :06:21.training has been a very intense. To actually pull it off, we are in
:06:21. > :06:26.disbelief, the last four years has been extremely difficult for all of
:06:26. > :06:30.us in our own right. We saw how much support and enthusiasm there
:06:31. > :06:35.is, it got louder and louder, right from the beginning of the race. The
:06:35. > :06:39.crescendo from this crowd was deafening. You had everything in
:06:39. > :06:43.your heart telling you could do it. As soon as he crossed that line, it
:06:43. > :06:48.was just silence, because we had done it.
:06:48. > :06:53.They have been celebrating at a post regatta dinner, they are back
:06:53. > :06:57.now at their hotel. Alex Gregory and Tom James are waiting to speak
:06:57. > :07:01.to us. Thank you for cutting your evening short. A huge
:07:01. > :07:05.congratulations! This was an old- fashioned ding-dong with the
:07:05. > :07:13.Aussies, they were talking of the tour, it ended up being a cracking
:07:13. > :07:18.race. It certainly did. The Aussies always one to beat us, it is
:07:18. > :07:23.between the Aussies and GBE in the last 24 years after the gold medal
:07:23. > :07:29.in the coxless fours, they wanted to beat us on our home soil, and it
:07:29. > :07:36.has been a pretty epic battle all season. They were essentially it
:07:36. > :07:44.the favourites, I think we felt the pressure, but we pulled off a
:07:44. > :07:49.really good race, and it is a great feeling to name it like we did. It
:07:49. > :07:54.hasn't really sunk in, to be honest. You have joined the dole Ding Dang,
:07:54. > :07:59.you were the only one in that boat he wasn't on the top rostrum. You
:07:59. > :08:08.said earlier today, you felt like you owned the boat, because people
:08:08. > :08:13.came and went, you were the one consistent one there. I have been
:08:13. > :08:19.in the boat since 2009, so why had that benefit. I felt a bit of
:08:19. > :08:25.pressure with these guys. For the last 500 metres of the race I was
:08:25. > :08:31.afraid I wasn't going to catch cramp, I'm pretty relieved, to be
:08:31. > :08:35.honest. You have all had various things go on, you had an irregular
:08:35. > :08:40.heartbeat, you had to take a year off, put into context how typical
:08:40. > :08:47.does build up has been over the last four years. It is not your
:08:47. > :08:52.most typical Olympic build up, I imagine. But yes, there have been a
:08:52. > :09:00.lot of dark moments, training or in your own outside of the squad has
:09:00. > :09:05.been tougher. We have got a great support system, a great medical
:09:05. > :09:13.background to get a quick prognosis, without that, I wouldn't have been
:09:13. > :09:19.able to get back into any decent sort of performance. But yes, it
:09:19. > :09:23.has been quite Astra Sport Olympiad. It is funny how these things work
:09:23. > :09:27.out, all the times I it was on my own training, coming back from an
:09:28. > :09:32.injury, you find out whether you really want it or not. The last
:09:32. > :09:37.year or so has been absolutely magic. It is funny how things come
:09:37. > :09:41.together, it has worked out fantastically. You were incredible
:09:41. > :09:47.together, you are a real pride of the nation. It is the first time we
:09:47. > :09:54.are going to have a blast of this! I'm going to ask if you could go
:09:54. > :10:01.over to that Big Bang, Denise up. She is walking over to Big Ben. She
:10:01. > :10:11.is moving our gold arrow up one place, to number nine. We are
:10:11. > :10:11.
:10:11. > :10:20.already at the level we were at in Athens. Bats -- thank you so much,
:10:20. > :10:23.guys. We really appreciate your The women's lightweight double
:10:23. > :10:30.scull next, and Greece have dominated this for the last couple
:10:30. > :10:36.of years, while Great Britain have a young and an experienced pair --
:10:36. > :10:40.in experienced pair. They may be young, but they were not daunted,
:10:40. > :10:50.they led strongly, they found a similar, strong rhythm, putting
:10:50. > :10:58.
:10:58. > :11:03.a way! Greece are spent, it is Greg Bird and all the way. They are
:11:03. > :11:09.making history. Surely they have got enough now to hold on here.
:11:09. > :11:14.Less than 50 strokes remain in the final of the women's lightweight
:11:14. > :11:19.double scull, they came together this year, and they have formed a
:11:19. > :11:29.fabulous partnership. Hold on, girls, and it is yours! They are
:11:29. > :11:35.not going to get caught. They are just flying along. This could be
:11:35. > :11:45.Britain's third women's gold medal of this Olympics. This is history
:11:45. > :11:45.
:11:45. > :11:51.in terms of rowing, fantastic. Catherine Copeland, 21 years of age.
:11:51. > :11:56.Sophie Hosking, 26 years of age. But this partnership have only 25
:11:56. > :12:00.strokes remaining and they will be the Olympic champions. Look at the
:12:00. > :12:06.support on the far side! The whole of the place is going absolutely
:12:06. > :12:11.mad. It will be a wall of sound here as they come into the last few
:12:11. > :12:21.metres, they are still moving away. We are looking at history, moving
:12:21. > :12:26.all the time, every stroke, look at her, her first ever senior race.
:12:26. > :12:33.They are making us look absolutely easy. This is an incredible scull
:12:33. > :12:42.for Britain. Still moving away. Greece, fighting back past China to
:12:42. > :12:46.try and get into that silver medal position. So it safety Hocking --
:12:46. > :12:52.Sophie Hosking and Kat Copeland, they are the Olympic champions, an
:12:52. > :12:57.incredible, incredible scull! They have just been glorious here this
:12:57. > :13:05.morning. A fabulous, fabulous result, a well deserved result.
:13:05. > :13:13.They can hardly believe it. Sophie Hosking, Kat Copeland, complete and
:13:13. > :13:23.utter joy now. You are an Olympic Are quite believe this is real,
:13:23. > :13:33.that we just one! -- that we just won! You are going to be on a stamp
:13:33. > :13:42.
:13:42. > :13:45.for the next 10 years following the It is her first year at senior
:13:45. > :13:55.level. Look at her, she is just counting her blessings, it is
:13:55. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:06.It is something we have been working for so long and there are
:14:06. > :14:12.so many people we have to thank. Paul Reid, Hester for everything
:14:12. > :14:22.she did to get us here. I can't believe it actually happened.
:14:22. > :14:25.
:14:25. > :14:29.emotion! You were there, Mary. Absolutely. Wonderful experience. I
:14:29. > :14:33.was a guest of the National Lottery, who made it possible for all of
:14:33. > :14:40.these medals in the rowing. It is sensational and the girls were
:14:40. > :14:46.wonderful. We can cross back to the Hotel. Katherine Grainger and Greg
:14:46. > :14:50.Searle on there. Thank you for talking to us. Those two are at the
:14:50. > :14:57.other end of the Olympic spectrum. They have got magnificent futures
:14:57. > :15:03.ahead of them. And that is how you introduce us! I was thinking, why
:15:03. > :15:09.would they get us two together! like the idea you have pulled us
:15:09. > :15:15.away from a dinner, it is cheese and pineapple on a stick! I had you
:15:15. > :15:22.eating lobster and drinking champagne! Rock-and-roll! They
:15:22. > :15:26.could go on to be multi- gold medallists. It took me four times
:15:26. > :15:32.to get it right and they did it first time, I don't know what I was
:15:32. > :15:37.doing wrong all of this time. will not necessarily save it the
:15:37. > :15:43.way you have. I got to do it early and I don't think I've realised how
:15:43. > :15:47.special it was when I was 20. Now it feels all the Battle of the
:15:47. > :15:57.mile-long Korea. Your long torturous Korea of highs and lows,
:15:57. > :16:01.
:16:01. > :16:06.it makes it all the better when you win. -- career. Katherine Grainger,
:16:06. > :16:12.you have shown them what is possible and they have a great
:16:12. > :16:17.career ahead. They looked invincible! They did. We have been
:16:17. > :16:21.on the same training camp as them for the last few months, and they
:16:21. > :16:26.have really shown incredible speed and potential and it was all going
:16:26. > :16:31.to come down to, could they produce the goods on the day, at their
:16:31. > :16:36.first Olympics, when they had never felt this kind of attention and
:16:36. > :16:42.expectation? We knew that this speed was there. It was if they
:16:42. > :16:48.could turn it on, and they nailed it. They both utterly deserved it.
:16:48. > :16:53.Sophie Hosking was lovely, she said she was inspired by the success of
:16:53. > :16:58.the women's team for years, so it is nice to think that some of what
:16:58. > :17:03.the older members of the team have done have brought on the younger
:17:03. > :17:07.ones, who will be far more successful than us. And it is fair
:17:07. > :17:11.to recognise what you have done as well, in terms of the way they look
:17:11. > :17:15.to you and they get confidence from you leading the women's team and
:17:15. > :17:20.the performance has been so special and to me, it is the difference
:17:20. > :17:24.between how things were ten years ago when I left to how they are now,
:17:24. > :17:28.to see the strength in the way the women have come up and have
:17:28. > :17:33.actually done better in the men, and it did not used to be like that.
:17:33. > :17:39.It is very special. We are lucky. We are in a very successful
:17:39. > :17:44.environment, it is very supportive. We all get on. It is competitive
:17:44. > :17:49.but it is a positive experience for all of us and that has helped the
:17:49. > :17:54.women's team every step of the way. We understand the ladies are not at
:17:54. > :17:59.the banquet, they have hit the town! That is the difference
:17:59. > :18:04.between the oldies and the younger ones. You two have got your
:18:04. > :18:14.slippers on! Dame Mary Peters will now go up to Big Ben and move the
:18:14. > :18:16.
:18:16. > :18:23.Totalisator. It is time for this! If you will pass that on to the
:18:23. > :18:29.girls, we will be delighted. Get back to your crisps! Thank you.
:18:29. > :18:35.Next up, the men's lightweight double sculls, Mark Hunter and Zac
:18:35. > :18:41.Purchase, reigning Olympic champions. Sickness meant they
:18:41. > :18:48.finished down the field at earlier regattas. After 80 metres, the boat
:18:48. > :18:53.stopped. Zac Purchase's seat broker. Under the rules, you are allowed to
:18:53. > :18:58.restart if there is a mechanical failure, as long as cities before
:18:58. > :19:08.100m, so after some good work with a screwdriver, they started again -
:19:08. > :19:24.
:19:24. > :19:30.- as long as it is before 100m. We minute. Denmark are fighting back!
:19:30. > :19:36.Great Britain... They have got to find something! Denmark have found
:19:36. > :19:41.something! The closing stages! Denmark are coming on! They will
:19:41. > :19:49.get zero! Great Britain will just lose the championship medal to
:19:50. > :19:54.Denmark! Denmark, sneaking ahead of Great Britain! Denmark get the
:19:54. > :20:00.Olympic gold! Great Britain get the silver! And New Zealand get the
:20:00. > :20:10.bronze. They kept us on the edge of our seats. But they just ran out of
:20:10. > :20:10.
:20:10. > :20:14.Steve is helping Mark Hunter to his feet. Mark. There is probably
:20:14. > :20:21.nothing in the world you want to do less than talk about that race.
:20:21. > :20:29.What are your thoughts? We gave everything. We tried everything...
:20:30. > :20:35.We wanted to win so badly. We are just... Sorry to everybody we have
:20:35. > :20:40.let down. You have let nobody down. After the year that you guys have
:20:40. > :20:45.had, you have let nobody down. Can you tell us what happened at the
:20:45. > :20:50.start? We had a problem with the seat, it just came apart. It was
:20:50. > :20:55.fixed, it did not have any bearing on the race. We had the best race
:20:55. > :21:00.we could and the crowd have been absolutely amazing. We have really
:21:01. > :21:05.enjoyed being a part of this amazing team... Just... I just wish
:21:05. > :21:08.we had been a little bit quicker for everybody else... I will let
:21:08. > :21:14.you go but thank you so much for all of the help you have given us
:21:14. > :21:20.over the last few years, and you are silver medallists. I am sorry.
:21:20. > :21:24.Sorry. Take care. Steve will take them down to the medal ceremony,
:21:24. > :21:28.where they will receive their silver medals. Emotions...
:21:28. > :21:35.Especially when you know these people pretty well. It is quite
:21:35. > :21:42.hard being here as well... John Inverdale was challenging the
:21:42. > :21:46.emotions of a nation. He is a local boy, Mark Hunter, from the East End.
:21:46. > :21:52.State-school educated. He goes to schools and talks about how you can
:21:52. > :21:58.get him. It is not always about public schools. He was a fantastic
:21:58. > :22:02.champion and he did not let anybody down. He did not by any stretch of
:22:02. > :22:07.the imagination. Post-race interviews like that are so painful.
:22:08. > :22:11.Hopefully, when he reflects on the career that he has had and what it
:22:11. > :22:18.takes to break through into the rowing fraternity, he will be very
:22:18. > :22:23.proud of himself. And he is a gold medallist from Beijing. Let's speak
:22:23. > :22:29.to a Sir Steve Redgrave. Good evening. An incredible regatta. If
:22:29. > :22:34.you could just reflect on that race. I know Mark and Zack are tired but
:22:34. > :22:40.I hope they realise the nation is incredibly proud and that they let
:22:40. > :22:44.nobody down. They are very proud. They have had a great time at the
:22:45. > :22:51.party tonight. I think it is starting to sink in. Starting off
:22:52. > :22:57.with the youngsters, then going to Katherine Grainger, then me. We are
:22:57. > :23:04.getting older! They have actually got my boat behind me! They are
:23:04. > :23:07.making good use of it! What is going on?! You are the senior
:23:07. > :23:12.statesman. We have seen how important you have been to the
:23:13. > :23:18.younger athletes. They look up to you. It is time to celebrate what a
:23:18. > :23:28.success this has been. If we look at how many medals Team GB have won
:23:28. > :23:35.
:23:35. > :23:43.at the regatta, it has been an great rival, but no golds. What are
:23:43. > :23:49.the magic ingredients that have Paul Thompson is the women, coach
:23:49. > :23:55.and yoga is the men's coach and they are in tandem in some ways.
:23:55. > :23:58.The women have actually done better than the men. It is the combination
:23:58. > :24:03.of commit each year that everyone is willing to learn to go that
:24:03. > :24:08.little bit better, of how to improve the team. One of the
:24:08. > :24:12.elements that we have is the support staff, from the coaches,
:24:12. > :24:17.from David Tanner at the top, down to the doctors and physiotherapists
:24:17. > :24:21.and the team, and that is where a lot of the finances has gone in, to
:24:21. > :24:26.make sure the athletes are in the best position, so when we push them
:24:26. > :24:31.away from the landing stage, they will get their best possible result
:24:31. > :24:36.and the best conditions to be able to do that, and that is what the
:24:36. > :24:40.BOA have been planning to do as well, so the athletes can go and do
:24:40. > :24:45.their business and enjoy it. The we have all enjoyed it. We have
:24:45. > :24:52.enjoyed you as well. It has been a phenomenally successful element of
:24:52. > :24:58.a brilliant week so far. It has been owned lot of fun, but this is
:24:58. > :25:04.our best ever regatta -- it has been a lot of fun. Before the best
:25:04. > :25:10.was a 1908 when we one eight medals, and we have beaten that -- when we
:25:10. > :25:14.won eight medals. Maybe we can do even better in Rio. Let's see!
:25:14. > :25:24.Thank you. We can see the younger generation taking the baton from
:25:24. > :25:27.
:25:27. > :25:33.the older generation, a fantastic The men's 10,000m. Mo Farah looking
:25:33. > :25:41.to add Olympic gold to his medal collection. The men's long jump
:25:41. > :25:44.final. Greg Rutherford and Ian Tomlinson, launching for Britain.
:25:44. > :25:49.The last Olympics went for this certain of Michael Phelps. And here
:25:49. > :25:57.come the goals. In the velodrome, it was another night to savour --
:25:57. > :26:03.here come the girls. It is always busy outside our
:26:03. > :26:11.studio, we get the odd incredible guest opinion. But they had been

:26:17. > :26:22.will see. If we can, rest assured, we will. They do not want to go
:26:22. > :26:29.home. It has been too good. The first big night of the athletics
:26:29. > :26:35.finals. All eyes on Mo and Jess. Jess shows all of her Sheffield
:26:35. > :26:40.steel yesterday. So much expectation on the slender
:26:40. > :26:50.shoulders of Jessica Ennis. And this is a tremendous run! Oh my
:26:50. > :26:51.
:26:51. > :26:58.If anybody wants his Olympic title, they are going to have to produce
:26:58. > :27:07.something remarkable! Come on, Jess. Can she finished in the same rich
:27:07. > :27:17.vein of form? Jessica Ennis is flying. This is a good end to what
:27:17. > :27:22.has been a pretty good first day for Jessica Ennis. She led by over
:27:22. > :27:32.180 points, three events left today. Gold could be herds if she
:27:32. > :27:36.
:27:36. > :27:42.continued that way. -- could be everything goes according to plan,
:27:43. > :27:52.and she and Great Britain will come away with the gold medals.
:27:53. > :28:11.
:28:11. > :28:18.wanted! Just what we wanted! Just what she wanted herself! 6.4. One
:28:18. > :28:28.step closer to the gold medal for Jess Ennis! They belief is growing.
:28:28. > :28:55.
:28:55. > :28:58.and collected. You would suggest that if she can nail a javelin
:28:58. > :29:08.throw of around 45 metres, the chase for the Olympic title will be
:29:08. > :29:09.
:29:09. > :29:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds

:30:00. > :30:15.
:30:15. > :30:25.just one event to go. This could be taking any chances! This is
:30:25. > :30:26.
:30:26. > :30:36.outstanding! Jessica Ennis is the Olympic champion! For best all-
:30:36. > :30:52.
:30:52. > :30:57.I am so shocked, I can't believe it. After the javelin I knew I was on
:30:57. > :31:05.for a good score and a metal, but I couldn't believe it until I crossed
:31:05. > :31:13.the finish line. All this hard work, the disappointment of Beijing, and
:31:13. > :31:17.everyone just supporting me so much... Are you OK? Yeah, I'm just
:31:17. > :31:24.shocked. Everyone has supported me, I just want to thank everyone here
:31:24. > :31:28.and my family... Just everyone that has supported me, I am so happy. I
:31:28. > :31:33.just had to give it everything at the end, I thought I will only have
:31:33. > :31:38.one moment to do it in front of a home crowd, and I'm so pleased I
:31:38. > :31:43.left everything on the track. I think I need to savour this moment,
:31:43. > :31:47.recover and see how I feel tomorrow. It is a huge amount of pressure
:31:47. > :31:54.coming into this, I just tried to stay focused, and the crowd helped
:31:54. > :31:58.me. I can't believe it, I can't believe I have done it! A I am not
:31:58. > :32:06.sure I've ever heard an Olympic stadium give a reception like they
:32:06. > :32:16.gave Jessica Ennis denied. -- tonight. The nation, filled with
:32:16. > :32:41.
:32:42. > :32:47.pride at this magnificent Well, the previous two generations
:32:47. > :32:52.of multi-event athletes are here with me in the studio. Just the
:32:52. > :32:57.most fantastic conference of talent. She had the upset Andy misery of
:32:57. > :33:01.missing out in Beijing when we all felt she was on fire, and she
:33:01. > :33:05.proved it by winning the World Championship. There were times, in
:33:05. > :33:09.those dark hours, she wondered if the opportunity would come again,
:33:09. > :33:15.and it came again in the most perfect setting. You just think,
:33:15. > :33:19.what can be done in four years, she was so devastated with that injury,
:33:20. > :33:23.she was just on the crest, just moving into the hearts and minds of
:33:23. > :33:32.the British nation and then she was curtailed with their triple stress
:33:32. > :33:37.factor. What she has done is really known her event, really Crafter
:33:37. > :33:41.event and really understand where she can gain points. She is quick,
:33:41. > :33:46.athletic, dynamic, but what is special about her is her mind. It
:33:46. > :33:52.is her mind and how she absorbs information. You can see how she
:33:52. > :33:58.dealt with the pressure going into these games, it has been so
:33:58. > :34:03.pleasurable, such a proud moment, for us all to witness. It has just
:34:03. > :34:11.been magical. As you said, in the stadium, when the national anthem
:34:11. > :34:15.was played, and the whole of that stadium just erupted in song. You
:34:15. > :34:19.just don't get moments like that too often in life, and you could
:34:19. > :34:25.see how much it meant to her. started yesterday morning, the
:34:25. > :34:30.first day of athletics here, she came out into a packed stadium, and
:34:30. > :34:36.she ran a time in the 100 metres hurdles that would have got her a
:34:36. > :34:42.gold medal, 12.54. How to deal with pressure! Aynho, at the crowd was
:34:42. > :34:46.just wanting her, she was the poster girl of the Olympics, they
:34:46. > :34:50.wanted her to do it. My fear was the pressure and expectation might
:34:51. > :34:56.affect her. But she was so controlled, she did everything
:34:56. > :35:01.right. Was the long jump the key moment today? She had a
:35:01. > :35:07.disappointing first jump, and the second jump, you saw her there, the
:35:07. > :35:16.smile on her face, it was like she knew that she was just with a
:35:16. > :35:20.button the podium. She nailed this junk, this was the first round,
:35:20. > :35:25.when she was slightly behind the board, we know she's carrying good
:35:25. > :35:30.speed, but you still have to be accurate on the board. She had to
:35:30. > :35:35.compose herself, you only get three attempts in the heptathlon, and she
:35:35. > :35:40.made the last two account. In the 800, when all she had to do was get
:35:40. > :35:44.round, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion, but she is a
:35:44. > :35:49.classy, and she said in her interview, she wanted to give the
:35:49. > :35:54.crowd something, she went for it. It was a Kelly Holmes moment,
:35:54. > :35:57.crossing the line first. She showed her class, it was just amazing.
:35:57. > :36:02.This is typical of Jessica. She could have easily sat back during
:36:02. > :36:09.that race and just cruised to victory, but she wanted to more
:36:09. > :36:14.from it. She wanted to entertain the crowd, she wanted that moment,
:36:14. > :36:19.like the Dane said about the other day in the! She wanted to the
:36:19. > :36:26.victory for the crowd, and look at how everyone reacted to it. To
:36:26. > :36:31.deliver not only a jaw-dropping performance, to deliver your
:36:31. > :36:37.personal best, to run the way she did to finish, it was world class.
:36:37. > :36:42.She is so lovely as well. She is so adorable, so mild-mannered, and she
:36:42. > :36:47.has been everywhere in the build-up to this, so it really was a massive
:36:47. > :36:57.pressure to absorb. She now joins these two ladies in the multi-event
:36:57. > :37:01.
:37:01. > :37:11.delirium! She will be delighted with that! The dazzling smile
:37:11. > :37:12.
:37:12. > :37:19.appears! Denise Lewis is the Olympic champion. Mary Peters has
:37:19. > :37:25.beaten off the rest for the gold medal! She has started! Denise
:37:25. > :37:35.Lewis has just made history. pride of Great Britain! Jessica
:37:35. > :37:37.
:37:37. > :37:46.Time for a blast of Spandau Ballet. As you were the last at Bath on a
:37:46. > :37:53.gold medallist, would you like to go and move the table. --
:37:53. > :37:57.heptathlon gold medallist. Thank you so much, Denise. Now for
:37:57. > :38:01.another athlete who has the weight of expectation of a nation on his
:38:01. > :38:05.shoulders. Mo Farah, the world 5000 metres champion was aiming to
:38:05. > :38:14.become the first British athlete to win an Olympic gold in the 10,000
:38:14. > :38:18.metres. He faces a tough ask, have really strong field including
:38:18. > :38:28.Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia, who has one this event in the last two
:38:28. > :38:41.
:38:41. > :38:45.comfortable, nobody made a move, we joined the race with three laps to
:38:45. > :38:55.go, with all the main contenders in touch, and the crowd going
:38:55. > :39:00.
:39:00. > :39:04.the outside, ready to move -- is in a great place. Tariku Bekele is
:39:04. > :39:09.doing nothing other than blocking the track. A word of encouragement
:39:09. > :39:15.as they went past Chris Thomson, to his great friend and one-time rival,
:39:15. > :39:21.Mo Farah. The crowd are already reaching a crescendo and there is
:39:21. > :39:31.still just over two laps to go. Look at Farah, how easy does he
:39:31. > :39:34.
:39:34. > :39:39.look? But they are all there. Farah, poised and ready to strike. Masai
:39:39. > :39:43.is there, Kenenisa Bekele is in a terrible position at the moment, if
:39:43. > :39:48.anyone is to go in this lap they may just get a bit of air between
:39:48. > :39:52.themselves and Kenenisa Bekele. It is winding up, but this is not a
:39:52. > :39:57.sprint yet, it hasn't started. We have been waiting and waiting for
:39:57. > :40:01.this, when is it going to break? Who is going to go first? Are it
:40:01. > :40:09.certainly hasn't started, too many of them in this group for comfort.
:40:09. > :40:14.This is the lack, it is now about positioning yourself off for a move.
:40:14. > :40:18.Mo Farah is in contention, Tariku Bekele is holding him off, Kenenisa
:40:18. > :40:25.Bekele is not in a great place for there. He needs to position himself
:40:25. > :40:32.better if he is going to defend his title. Now we have got a race are,
:40:32. > :40:38.it is going to come down to a last lap sprint. This is Mo Farah's
:40:38. > :40:47.first serious move, there has been a response from Bekele. Mo Farah
:40:47. > :40:53.hits the front! 1 lap to go. Is the bell tolling for a gold medal for
:40:53. > :40:59.Great Britain? Mo Farah, really trying to become the first Great
:40:59. > :41:02.Britain to win the Olympic title at 10,000 metres. He has got a bit of
:41:02. > :41:12.company including his training partner. He is ready magnificently
:41:12. > :41:17.now. -- running magnificently. any to be keenly looking for room
:41:18. > :41:23.on the inside, and a Farah is digging on -- Kenenisa Bekele. The
:41:23. > :41:29.crowd are lifting him, Farah into the home straight, just 100 metres
:41:29. > :41:39.to go, has he got enough? He is kicking again! He is going to do
:41:39. > :41:52.
:41:52. > :42:02.it! It is a glorious, glorious win! medals for Great Britain. What a
:42:02. > :42:19.
:42:19. > :42:22.took on the Africans, they showed Mo Farah, Olympic champion, on an
:42:22. > :42:26.night of three gold medals for Great Britain, can you believe what
:42:26. > :42:30.has happened? The crowd got so much behind me, it was getting louder
:42:30. > :42:35.and louder, I have never experienced something like this. He
:42:35. > :42:38.doesn't come around often, to have it right on your doorstep, to have
:42:38. > :42:46.people shouting out your name, it is never going to get better than
:42:46. > :42:51.this, this is the best moment of my life. It is just the hard work, 120
:42:51. > :42:56.miles week in, week out. Would you put in is what you get out. I have
:42:56. > :43:00.just had great support from the crowd and Barry French, he has been
:43:00. > :43:04.monitoring every single thing, he has been away from his family, I
:43:05. > :43:09.have been away from my family, I want to thank everyone who has
:43:09. > :43:18.supported me from my childhood until now. Without all them people,
:43:18. > :43:22.Britain has never one the 10,000 metres, there has been such a
:43:22. > :43:26.stranglehold, with the Ethiopians and Kenyans, and for Mo to do what
:43:26. > :43:31.he has done, he has vindicated the decision to go and live in Oregon,
:43:31. > :43:35.it has been an immense achievement. It was probably the best thing he
:43:35. > :43:42.could have done. Some of the best lessons are learned in the face of
:43:42. > :43:45.defeat, and last year when he finished second, you can just
:43:45. > :43:50.imagine how he has been studying his opponents, working out the
:43:51. > :44:00.strategy of how he was going to win tonight. Wasn't it just poetic? I
:44:00. > :44:05.am really happy for Alberto Salazar, who also coached the athlete who
:44:05. > :44:10.finished second. It was a simple plan, they knew they could outstrip
:44:10. > :44:16.everybody on the last lap, he never panicked. It is about confidence,
:44:16. > :44:19.the more you can build on that, through the work you are doing,
:44:19. > :44:25.having confidence in your training sessions and the people around you,
:44:25. > :44:31.you can walk into arenas like this and no -- know what you have to do.
:44:31. > :44:36.It is not heated to execute, but that mental toughness you have to
:44:36. > :44:42.have if you want to win, they both have it, just a Gatt and Mo. It is
:44:42. > :44:50.a lonely life, being a distance runner, lots of miles, lots of
:44:50. > :44:55.restrictions in everything you do People don't realise the miles that
:44:55. > :44:58.they have to run to be able to perform like that on the track.
:44:58. > :45:03.They don't understand what it is like when it is raining and cold
:45:03. > :45:08.and miserable, and you have to perform a day after day.
:45:08. > :45:14.performance like that is used in the making. He has doubled up in
:45:14. > :45:21.the 5,000m -- years in the making. This will give him so much
:45:21. > :45:29.confidence. Is a double gold a real possibility? It really is. Mo is
:45:29. > :45:35.capable of winning the 5,000m race. It will be tougher. More challenges,
:45:35. > :45:43.more people to affect him, but as you said, confidence. Anything's
:45:43. > :45:49.possible. We understand Mo is still inside, his medal ceremony it is
:45:49. > :45:59.tomorrow, and Jess is also still going through doping, we would love
:45:59. > :46:03.
:46:03. > :46:10.to have them both here tonight. 12, above Sydney. What are you
:46:10. > :46:17.doing these days, Mary? You are in good shape. I walk four miles every
:46:17. > :46:23.day, if I can, which takes an hour. I feel good. All of that training
:46:23. > :46:28.has its rewards. The crowds are still outside. They are still
:46:28. > :46:36.hopeful we will get some gold medallists for you this evening.
:46:36. > :46:41.They are patiently waiting. High drama at the Olympic Stadium, and
:46:41. > :46:48.there would be more. Tonight was the final of the men's long jump.
:46:48. > :46:53.Britain had not won a medal in this since 1964. Chris Tomlinson and
:46:54. > :47:03.Greg Rutherford lined up on the runway, going for gold. Get ready
:47:04. > :47:25.
:47:25. > :47:31.This long jump competition is wide long jump competition comes alive
:47:31. > :47:37.with Greg Rutherford in round two. Paul Dickenson is bouncing up and
:47:37. > :47:47.down like a teenager next to me. really nailed that one on take-off.
:47:47. > :47:49.
:47:49. > :47:59.He maintained his speed. Krakow! 8.21. -- what a cracker! Chris
:47:59. > :48:13.
:48:13. > :48:20.big impression in the sand. It is over eight metres. Absolutely
:48:20. > :48:27.perfect on the board. He just maybe miss the Tate got a little bit. He
:48:27. > :48:37.didn't quite a time it right. -- he missed the take-off a little bit.
:48:37. > :48:46.
:48:46. > :48:50.this atmosphere? It is big! -- cam Greg Rutherford ft office
:48:50. > :49:00.atmosphere? Could this be the greatest night of British athletics
:49:00. > :49:18.
:49:18. > :49:28.competition, that is going to take mistake. If this man hits it, he
:49:28. > :49:35.
:49:35. > :49:42.running up, he just didn't have the pace and the rhythm. Another
:49:42. > :49:52.athlete down. Will Claye is the only athlete now who can deny Greg
:49:52. > :50:05.
:50:05. > :50:11.is the Olympic champion! Oh my goodness! Just remarkable! What a
:50:11. > :50:15.moment! Not many people would have put Greg Rutherford down as an
:50:15. > :50:25.Olympic champion at the beginning of this year, perhaps not even at
:50:25. > :50:31.
:50:31. > :50:35.always going to happen, but it doesn't matter!
:50:35. > :50:38.Olympic long jump champion, Greg Rutherford! I don't think he can
:50:38. > :50:48.quite believe it. Have I don't think any of us can quite believe
:50:48. > :50:50.
:50:50. > :50:59.I thought I was going to jump further than that, but I don't care.
:50:59. > :51:08.The first long jump champion for a sense Lynn Davies in 1964. -- for
:51:08. > :51:12.us thinks. Exactly. I am glad I can emulate somebody like that. What a
:51:12. > :51:18.night for British athletics. Three gold medals out of a possible three.
:51:18. > :51:23.It is incredible. I cannot thank everybody at home enough. The crowd
:51:23. > :51:28.were absolutely incredible. I got to see my parents in the crowd. I
:51:28. > :51:33.don't think it has sunk in properly. This is what I have dreamt of my
:51:33. > :51:38.entire life. I knew I was given to be a sportsman, and when I picked
:51:38. > :51:43.athletics, I knew I was going to want to be Olympic champion, and I
:51:44. > :51:49.get to do it in London! I might wake up in a minute! When you were
:51:49. > :51:54.coming in, you said you were going to do it. You have done it.
:51:54. > :52:00.Congratulations. The nation shares your joy. Thank you so much to
:52:00. > :52:04.everybody at home and everybody on Twitter. Go and celebrate! I will!
:52:04. > :52:10.That was one of my favourite interviews of the day. Olympic long
:52:10. > :52:18.jump champion from 1964, the aforementioned limb Davies, has
:52:18. > :52:25.joined us. What a night! -- Liam Davies. I predicted a medal, but
:52:25. > :52:29.perhaps not the gold. Greg Rutherford was the leading jumper
:52:29. > :52:34.going into the competition, so we knew if he got it right, he could
:52:34. > :52:39.win the gold, and what an honour and a pleasure for me, 48 years
:52:39. > :52:43.later, to be sitting in that stadium and to see another Brit to
:52:43. > :52:48.win the long jump. It is the shortest gold medal for 40 years,
:52:48. > :52:53.the distance, but it doesn't matter. You have to be the best on the day.
:52:53. > :52:58.Once every four years, you have to seize the opportunity and this was
:52:58. > :53:04.his opportunity. The leading dissidents was his. The main danger
:53:04. > :53:12.man was Mitchell Watt. He had done 8.54. He looked to be the favourite
:53:13. > :53:17.at, and this was his opportunity. This was his jump. How much to be
:53:17. > :53:26.crowd help? Every time he stood on the runway, there was an enormous
:53:26. > :53:30.response from the crowd, and T Muster been aware of that. Luckily,
:53:30. > :53:35.he channelled that -- and he must have been aware of that. I have
:53:35. > :53:39.known him for the last seven years. He struggled with injuries, he
:53:39. > :53:45.struggled in Beijing, but to come back and be Olympic champion in
:53:45. > :53:50.front of your home crowd, I can't think of anything better. We know
:53:50. > :53:57.it Jess is popular, but Greg is as popular as Jess a month the British
:53:57. > :54:00.athletes. We call him Mr Breakable, because of all these injuries, but
:54:00. > :54:07.we have always been aware of his talents and we knew he could do
:54:07. > :54:12.this today. The fact he has had such a good protagonist in Chris
:54:12. > :54:17.Tomlinson over the years driving him forwards... Yes. It is always
:54:17. > :54:21.great in your own country to have somebody pushing you. If I can pick
:54:21. > :54:25.up on Sir Steve Redgrave earlier saying what has made the difference
:54:25. > :54:31.is the support staff, and I cannot speak too highly of UK sport for
:54:31. > :54:36.the funding, the doctors, the support staff, the physiotherapists,
:54:36. > :54:40.the coaches. It is a team effort and he is the finished product, but
:54:40. > :54:47.you are only as good as your preparation. It is about the team
:54:47. > :54:53.as well. Feeding off of it. It is between the athletes in a healthy
:54:53. > :54:57.environment where they all expect to deliver maximum performance. I
:54:57. > :55:01.guess we were all a bit fragmented before. We were not sharing
:55:01. > :55:08.information. But now we have got these groups of athletes training
:55:08. > :55:13.together. Charles Van Commenee has put that into place. Yes, and I
:55:13. > :55:18.think it has been effective. John Inverdale was teasing Greg Abbott
:55:18. > :55:23.training camps saying he wanted to replace these images -- great at
:55:23. > :55:27.the training camp. As beautiful and fantastic as these images are, we
:55:27. > :55:31.needed to move on from black and white images of gold medals in the
:55:31. > :55:36.long jumper! Look at that handsome young fellow! I thought they would
:55:36. > :55:42.have been worn out by now, the film! It is always great to win a
:55:42. > :55:52.gold medal in an Olympic Games, albeit in Tokyo! You can see I was
:55:52. > :55:53.
:55:53. > :55:57.quite excited. 8.07. To stand on that rostrum in Tokyo was a great
:55:57. > :56:02.thrill. It is the realisation of a dream to win the Olympic gold. But
:56:03. > :56:12.to do it in front of your crowd tonight. Woods escaped me in trying
:56:12. > :56:17.to capture what that atmosphere was like -- Words escape me. One gold
:56:17. > :56:23.medal in Beijing, three tonight. The most ever by a Great Britain
:56:23. > :56:26.team is four in track and field, so only one more... It is all about
:56:26. > :56:30.belief and confidence and these three guys have shown they are
:56:30. > :56:35.Olympic champions, and now the rest of the team can walk into the
:56:35. > :56:40.stadium knowing that they can compete well. It is time for gold.
:56:40. > :56:50.# Gold #. Never have Spandau Ballet been
:56:50. > :56:53.
:56:53. > :56:59.aired so much on a Saturday night Takes us up to 13 gold medals so
:56:59. > :57:06.far. Thank you so, so much. It is great to see you. I am sure you
:57:06. > :57:12.were delighted to be there. We used day longer? Indeed. Fantastic. --
:57:12. > :57:17.will you stay a bit longer? Lots more to come before bedtime. It is
:57:17. > :57:21.the final night in the swimming pool. Will it be a golden end for
:57:21. > :57:26.the Michael Phelps Olympic era? We are celebrating those who don't
:57:26. > :57:36.always make the headlines in our underdog of the day. And more from
:57:36. > :57:37.
:57:37. > :57:41.the track as the fastest women in the world join the party.
:57:41. > :57:48.What time is it? We are coming up to midnight and they are still
:57:48. > :57:52.outside. Still hope for, as we are, that we might get a couple of our
:57:52. > :57:59.gold medallists. Denise is giving them a wave and getting them into a
:57:59. > :58:08.frenzy! They are still in doping. It is a long process if you are a
:58:08. > :58:13.gold medal-winner. Team GB! Team GB! Team GB! Team GB! Fantastic!
:58:13. > :58:23.Let's go to the velodrome. Day three, with Britain looking to
:58:23. > :58:28.continue their gold rush. A problem for the British team!
:58:28. > :58:31.Great Britain are the fastest of the qualifiers! Gold medal for
:58:31. > :58:41.Great Britain! And new world record! I don't believe what I am
:58:41. > :58:48.
:58:48. > :58:53.The gold medal is Great Britain's! Pendleton has ignited the burners.
:58:53. > :58:59.Meares is washed away! Victoria Pendleton gets the gold medal! Two
:58:59. > :59:09.nights, three goals. Not bad. Tonight it was the women's team
:59:09. > :59:14.
:59:14. > :59:19.pursuit and the white, red and blue and to one of Rosewell broke the
:59:19. > :59:29.world record in qualifying -- Joe when the Roselle. They beat Canada
:59:29. > :59:45.
:59:45. > :59:51.to reach the final, where they took 3,000 metres team pursuit. Sarah
:59:51. > :59:57.Hammer leads the US team. They have a good formula. They are two
:59:57. > :00:07.seconds behind the British three. Already they have lost nearly 0.7
:00:07. > :00:16.
:00:16. > :00:22.of the second. An incredible start Sarah Hammer could get to the front
:00:22. > :00:30.and assert her power, and it could it breaks of formation. I think it
:00:30. > :00:36.is what she is already doing. They have spread the work, not evenly,
:00:36. > :00:44.but proportionally to strength throughout the team. The United
:00:44. > :00:50.States are holding the British team. The opening kilometre, Britain in a
:00:50. > :00:59.one. A weight. Not as quick as their world record. But they have
:00:59. > :01:04.the US 0.78 behind. They are being called on the same schedule as in
:01:04. > :01:14.the previous round. But they are going to be clever, they are going
:01:14. > :01:14.
:01:14. > :01:18.to stretch themselves to stop --. They really are moving, they are
:01:19. > :01:25.swinging up to allow their teenage to go through. This is a phenomenal
:01:25. > :01:29.ride by Great Britain. They don't need to do anything clever here,
:01:29. > :01:37.they need to be clever, Laura Trott did it shorter turns on this
:01:37. > :01:45.occasion. They are spreading get more evenly between them. They can
:01:45. > :01:52.almost see the tail end of the American team, they are flying.
:01:52. > :01:56.There are the 2000 metres mark. What a fantastic sensation this
:01:56. > :01:59.must be, in London, in front of the home crowd, they can see the
:01:59. > :02:06.opposition in front of them, they are so close now to getting the
:02:06. > :02:12.gold medal. That last split was very close to their world record
:02:12. > :02:17.pace. They can see the Americans, they are now pursuing them. This is
:02:17. > :02:22.the ideal way to tidy up a team pursuit. I reckon they could set
:02:22. > :02:28.another world record here! They are absolutely flying, Great Britain,
:02:28. > :02:35.and the crowd are getting behind them! They are coming up to the
:02:35. > :02:38.line. That means the final 250 metres. Great Britain are the world
:02:38. > :02:45.champions and they are now going to become the Olympic champions! They
:02:45. > :02:51.are on fire at! Take a look at their finishing time. Great Britain
:02:51. > :02:57.one the Olympic title, and the gold medal, and another world record! So
:02:57. > :03:02.that means Great Britain in the last six events, they have posted
:03:02. > :03:10.six world records. Dani King, Laura Trott and John Russell are the
:03:10. > :03:13.Olympic champions -- has joined a Rasel. If they get any faster, they
:03:13. > :03:22.will be parachute to slow down. They can't keep breaking these
:03:22. > :03:26.You said it was like a family? it is, they are like sisters, I
:03:26. > :03:31.can't believe we have done it, it is amazing. You talked about
:03:31. > :03:36.getting up to speed, you experienced this will -- wall of
:03:36. > :03:41.noise, it was even better. It was, I could tell we were winning by the
:03:41. > :03:48.noise of the crowd. It really spurred us on in the last kilometre.
:03:48. > :03:54.Six world records in the last six competitive rides! Brie amazing! I
:03:54. > :04:04.don't did we expected it. I think we expected it in one of the rounds
:04:04. > :04:36.
:04:36. > :04:42.but not in everyone, we can't The Velodrome was literally rocking
:04:42. > :04:50.today, that was incredible. Just an amazing effort. Good to see that
:04:50. > :04:54.Stella McCartney has an embarrassing dad as well! The
:04:54. > :04:58.sports science, the technology that they used within British cycling,
:04:58. > :05:02.what Dave Brailsford has done to move that to the cutting edge, to
:05:02. > :05:07.take it from Beijing where they were so successful and move it on,
:05:07. > :05:14.there is only one gold they didn't win, that was a disqualification.
:05:14. > :05:17.It is a real benchmark for other sports. I think all of our sport a
:05:17. > :05:22.taking advantage of sports science in this day and age, luckily we
:05:22. > :05:28.have a very qualified psychologists, people who can analyse on film and
:05:28. > :05:33.so on. Interesting talking to Greg, that he and his courage look at
:05:33. > :05:38.film analysis of Carl Lewis, they noticed that in the take-off, he
:05:38. > :05:44.feared slightly to the right and then took off this side, and they
:05:44. > :05:49.used that to great effect. Coaches are looking at the best analysis
:05:49. > :05:53.and taking it on board and applying it to sport. It is no longer just a
:05:53. > :05:59.theory, it is applied science. the expectations just grows,
:05:59. > :06:02.especially in cycling. Bradley Wiggins, then the time trial, then
:06:02. > :06:09.the Velodrome. Cycling is one of those sports that is relatively
:06:09. > :06:16.easy to get into, you get a bike and away you go! I did it, not to
:06:16. > :06:22.that level, of course, but in terms of making a start, everyone wants
:06:22. > :06:25.that first bike, but why not Channel than now? We don't know the
:06:25. > :06:32.potential of any young person who may want to have the desire to be
:06:32. > :06:36.the Olympic champion. All sports have something to learn from their
:06:36. > :06:40.structure and how they have galvanised and feed off each other,
:06:41. > :06:44.which is inspirational. It is interesting how some medallists
:06:44. > :06:51.have found their sport, Peter Wilson the Chuter was a cricketer,
:06:52. > :06:57.he got an injury, and he found shooting. Lydiard Medstead --
:06:57. > :07:00.Lizzie Armitstead was found in the playground. How did you find it?
:07:00. > :07:06.16 I did my first pentathlon, I knew I was never going to be really
:07:06. > :07:13.good at one of those five events, so I combined it and became Olympic
:07:13. > :07:19.champion. Just like that! It took me a long time. But I didn't have
:07:19. > :07:25.any technology, Mike coach are used to write my schedules out on the
:07:25. > :07:31.back of a brown envelope. Blazing a trail for the generations that have
:07:31. > :07:36.come, and the legacy which is so important here. Hopefully tonight,
:07:36. > :07:45.kids watching Greg Rutherford can think, I can have a go at that! It
:07:45. > :07:51.is time for a bit more of Spandau Ballet. I wanted to this one. -- I
:07:51. > :07:59.want to do this one. U three get all the fun. It is time to take it
:07:59. > :08:05.up to 14! I felt began a powerful there. I'm the only person that has
:08:05. > :08:10.done that Hoovers and got an Olympic gold medal. -- hasn't got
:08:10. > :08:17.an Olympic gold medal. I don't think there is a sport, I think it
:08:17. > :08:23.is too late, may be archery, if I could get into that. The eyesight
:08:23. > :08:29.is not so good any more. Not that archery is easy, but it is not as
:08:29. > :08:36.important in terms of cardiovascular! You could be a good
:08:36. > :08:40.at rhythmic gymnast. The men were also in action today, the omnium
:08:40. > :08:45.started, after the first day, Ed Clancy is in 4th, with the finals
:08:45. > :08:55.tomorrow. Jason Kenny is also well placed. Let's get more of today's
:08:55. > :09:00.
:09:00. > :09:07.Serena Williams storms to her first singles Olympic gold medal, she
:09:07. > :09:11.beat a Maria Sharapova and did a crowd-pleasing shimmy as well.
:09:11. > :09:16.There was one hitch, as the star- spangled Banner played, but the
:09:16. > :09:20.flag didn't know the words. Andy Murray has made his second final,
:09:20. > :09:28.in the mixed doubles, with the Laura Robson, they overcame Germany.
:09:29. > :09:33.They will face Victoria Azarenka and Max many tomorrow. In football,
:09:33. > :09:39.GB have been knocked out by South Korea, the scores were 1-1 after
:09:39. > :09:44.extra time, but the inevitable happened in penalties. Sturridge
:09:44. > :09:52.missed his kick and South Korea scored. World champion Helen
:09:52. > :10:00.Jenkins finished 5th in the women's triathlon in a sensational finish.
:10:00. > :10:10.Switzerland's Nicola Spirig one a gold medal. In boxing, Tom Stalker
:10:10. > :10:15.
:10:15. > :10:20.was in action, he boxed clever He made it through, so let round-up
:10:20. > :10:25.the final action in the swimming- pool, it was a significant night,
:10:25. > :10:35.the last night we will see the incredible Michael Phelps. If you
:10:35. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:45.had lines from the aquatic centre. -- a few headlines. Kromowidjojo
:10:45. > :10:55.one of the gold medal. The men to 1500 metres freestyle was one by
:10:55. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:11.Yang of China. -- was a won by Yang The USA's medley quartet, all gold
:11:11. > :11:17.medallists already come a set a world record to take gold. And
:11:17. > :11:22.fittingly, Michael Phelps walked out for the very last time to swim
:11:22. > :11:32.as part of the American a re-rating. He swam the butterfly leg, the
:11:32. > :11:32.
:11:32. > :11:42.third leg. In a friend Adrian was on the 4th lake. -- Nathan Adrian
:11:42. > :11:51.
:11:51. > :11:57.fast. Adrian really controlled in this at first 35. He is swaying
:11:57. > :12:03.from side to side. I think the world record is going to go. The
:12:03. > :12:09.world record is held by Team USA. It is not, but it is gold to Team
:12:09. > :12:15.USA, silver to Japan, and runs to Australia. 4th place for Great
:12:15. > :12:25.Britain. That is the end of a Michael Phelps. He finishes right
:12:25. > :12:28.
:12:28. > :12:33.Emotional scenes as he picked up what will be his final Olympic
:12:33. > :12:40.medal, his 18th. He has quite literally been the iconic swimmer
:12:40. > :12:50.of a generation. Three Olympic Games, and rightly, it was an
:12:50. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :13:03.emotional experience tonight. He 22 medals, which is the best?
:13:03. > :13:12.don't know. I think tonight is just... It is the craziest night of
:13:12. > :13:18.this Olympic sculler brush-off. -- of this I Olympics, for sure.
:13:18. > :13:23.started all those years ago, did you ever dreamed this? I dreamt of
:13:23. > :13:28.being the greatest. We worked together to become that, me and Bob,
:13:28. > :13:35.we have done everything we ever wanted to do. Looking back at my
:13:35. > :13:41.career, I know I am hanging my suit up, retiring, and looking back and
:13:41. > :13:45.saying, I have done everything I wanted. I couldn't be happier. I
:13:45. > :13:51.have said this many time, having my mum and family here is the best
:13:51. > :13:56.feeling. Has London matched up to your expectations? It has been an
:13:56. > :14:02.honour to watch your Olympic swims. Every Olympics has got better and
:14:02. > :14:09.better. This city has been great, the people have been a great, the
:14:09. > :14:19.village is awesome, the food is better. I am happy. We are having
:14:19. > :14:28.
:14:28. > :14:36.fun and I couldn't ask for a better It is very difficult to imagine
:14:36. > :14:40.anybody is ever going to be their dominant in any sport again.
:14:40. > :14:46.thinker had Ian Thorpe saying that you leave your legacy, but in the
:14:46. > :14:56.back of your mind, someone is going to get there. Maybe not in our
:14:56. > :15:03.
