:02:24. > :02:27.306 gold medals have been handed out across 28 different sports and Rio
:02:28. > :02:31.is preparing to say farewell to the watching world, Farewell to 11,000
:02:32. > :02:36.athletes and the tee Steves have joined me in the studio, Steve Cram
:02:37. > :02:38.and Steve Redgrave. You can tell they are Olympians because they
:02:39. > :02:43.battled through one of the worst storms we have had, well, the worse
:02:44. > :02:46.since we have been here. Did you get blown around? I stupidly had
:02:47. > :02:54.nothing, no coat or jacket, typical north-east lad. I've only just dried
:02:55. > :02:57.out. I was here earlier and went down the road for a pizza with
:02:58. > :03:03.Matthew Pinsent and battled to get back. I know, it has been blowing a
:03:04. > :03:06.gale. We understand at the Maracana, which is further inland, it is much
:03:07. > :03:10.less stormy than here. Fingers crossed. We are building up to the
:03:11. > :03:13.closing ceremony but to bring you up-to-date on a couple of things
:03:14. > :03:17.that happened earlier today, Joe Joyce was in the boxing ring for
:03:18. > :03:21.Great Britain, winning the last medal, sadly not winning the last
:03:22. > :03:26.gold, could not emulate Anthony Joshua's feats of four years ago,
:03:27. > :03:29.found the Frenchman Tony Yoka too good, the 30-year-old Joyce losing
:03:30. > :03:32.out on a split decision and afterwards he said he thought the
:03:33. > :03:35.gold medal was his. He intends to turn professional. Britain finish
:03:36. > :03:42.with a gold, silver and bronze from the boxing ring. In the very last
:03:43. > :03:46.event of the Olympics, the USA added yet another gold medal to their hall
:03:47. > :03:49.in the men's basketball final, winning their third consecutive
:03:50. > :03:56.Olympic title, dominating Serbia and nearly breaking the 100 points mark,
:03:57. > :03:59.closing out the match 96-66, a 15th Olympic title and a double up as the
:04:00. > :04:05.women won the basketball title yesterday as well. So the final,
:04:06. > :04:15.final medal table looks like this. The USA with their most successful
:04:16. > :04:17.away games but Great Britain in second place and first in terms of
:04:18. > :04:25.different sports in which they have won gold medals, 15.
:04:26. > :04:28.Other nations that have done well, the host nation Brazil, it's their
:04:29. > :04:38.Seven, one from volleyball today and football last night, just really
:04:39. > :04:40.sending Rio rocking. Jamaica, six gold medals,
:04:41. > :04:43.all of them on the track, New Zealand, their best Olympics
:04:44. > :04:48.ever, with 18 total medals. Various countries winning
:04:49. > :04:50.their first ever gold medal, including Fiji, who took gold
:04:51. > :04:55.in the rugby sevens. Kosovo and Puerto Rico, who won the
:04:56. > :05:02.women's tennis with Monica Puig. It has been an incredible Olympics
:05:03. > :05:05.for a lot of nations, for Great Britain, the most
:05:06. > :05:07.successful ever, which I don't think I think to be honest, I was talking
:05:08. > :05:14.to Liz Nichol from UK Sport, I think she has been very up front,
:05:15. > :05:17.there was a range. The media tended to report the lower
:05:18. > :05:26.end of that range, 48. Secretly, actually not secretly,
:05:27. > :05:29.they were reasonably open about somewhere in the 60 range
:05:30. > :05:32.would have been a very, To have exceeded that,
:05:33. > :05:34.67, phenomenal. The Russia effect,
:05:35. > :05:37.perhaps, a little bit. Would it be naive to start to think
:05:38. > :05:46.that the world balance reorders itself with drug testing
:05:47. > :05:48.being more thorough? What's really happening
:05:49. > :05:54.is that the superpowers are not That spread is going
:05:55. > :05:59.around a lot more. If you actually look down the table
:06:00. > :06:03.to how many countries are winning gold medals,
:06:04. > :06:05.I think there's more than there's More countries winning
:06:06. > :06:12.medals than before. Whereas it used to be 30
:06:13. > :06:14.years ago, the dominance between the Soviet Union
:06:15. > :06:17.and America, and no-one else gets a look-in,
:06:18. > :06:20.is that their totals are coming down, especially on the gold medals,
:06:21. > :06:22.and that's being spread Also, 80-odd countries
:06:23. > :06:28.have won medals here. 42 countries won medals
:06:29. > :06:30.in athletics. We have a great system,
:06:31. > :06:36.but you don't have to have a great I also think, this
:06:37. > :06:44.maybe needs looking at, we have a lot of different sports
:06:45. > :06:47.to what we had 20 years ago. That traditional superpower sport
:06:48. > :06:53.emphasis has shifted. We've been very good at going with
:06:54. > :06:58.that shift, if you like. We've been able to
:06:59. > :07:04.target certain sports. We've done very well,
:07:05. > :07:06.as you say, with gold medals in more And some sports we don't
:07:07. > :07:11.even really compete in, You take those out, we've got a very
:07:12. > :07:16.high strike rate of winning medals. But those stats are why we're
:07:17. > :07:25.winning because we look at it carefully and we look
:07:26. > :07:28.at where we can get gains and win. Quiz question: who won
:07:29. > :07:30.Great Britain's first medal Let's look at
:07:31. > :07:36.some of the triumphs from the COMMENTATOR: Adam Peaty takes
:07:37. > :07:41.Olympic gold for Great Britain. The time, oh,
:07:42. > :07:48.my goodness me! The United States have it, Jamaica
:07:49. > :07:57.took the silver and Great Britain Wales' Jazz Carlin in
:07:58. > :08:03.silver medal position. The gold medal goes
:08:04. > :08:11.to Great Britain! Laura Trott is Britain's
:08:12. > :08:30.most successful female You've seen a few come through here.
:08:31. > :08:31.I think we've done quite well. Here we go, silver to Great Britain. Well
:08:32. > :08:33.done. Ohuruogu is holding
:08:34. > :08:35.on to take the bronze. Well done, Christine,
:08:36. > :08:41.Emily, Eilidh and Anyika. Olympic medal, can you believe it,
:08:42. > :08:46.me, 400 metres, seriously? Chris Froome pulled
:08:47. > :08:48.it out at the end. It is gold for Hannah
:08:49. > :08:51.Mills and Saskia Clark. There is a medal here
:08:52. > :08:58.for Becky James, it's silver. Stephen Scott takes the bronze medal
:08:59. > :09:12.in the double trap competition. Gold, they've smashed
:09:13. > :09:14.the world record. It's silver to
:09:15. > :09:15.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. Finally, he gets a chance
:09:16. > :09:18.to enjoy this moment. Daley and Goodfellow are bronze
:09:19. > :09:45.medallists. I didn't realise we were going
:09:46. > :09:50.backwards until we were You can see how
:09:51. > :09:57.much it means to her. Bryony Page is an Olympic
:09:58. > :10:09.silver medallist! Jade Jones becomes the two
:10:10. > :10:13.times Olympic champion. Nile Wilson makes history
:10:14. > :10:23.for Great Britain as the first ever gymnast to medal at the Olympics
:10:24. > :10:26.on high bar. I know everyone back
:10:27. > :10:29.home will be so proud. I want to say, Joanna,
:10:30. > :10:32.mum, dad - we did it. Jack
:10:33. > :10:33.Laugher and Chris Mears... One, two, three...
:10:34. > :10:35.go. Pure gold, the boys are in
:10:36. > :10:46.tears. It's a silver medal, perfect
:10:47. > :10:50.performance from Lutalo Muhammad. A bronze medal for the British pair,
:10:51. > :11:00.Chris and Marcus. Amy Tinkler, the youngest
:11:01. > :11:06.member of Team GB. She twisted and tumbled her way
:11:07. > :11:10.to that bronze medal. Bianca Walkden has
:11:11. > :11:15.shown the tenacity. She battled for that,
:11:16. > :11:17.an Olympic Games bronze medallist. Nick Skelton and Big Star take
:11:18. > :11:32.the gold for Great Britain. It's really something
:11:33. > :11:35.that has been a dream. One wonders whether dreams do come
:11:36. > :11:44.true, but they have today. Max Whitlock takes the first medal
:11:45. > :11:47.in the all-around final for 108 And it's Joe Clarke,
:11:48. > :11:56.the 23-year-old, that is My words are going to come
:11:57. > :12:13.out in a big bleurgh! Sally Conway gets the medal.
:12:14. > :12:14.Absolute brilliance. Thornely and Katherine Grainger are going away
:12:15. > :12:15.Olympic silver medallists. Mum and dad, I promise,
:12:16. > :12:17.I'll never put you David Florence and Richard Hounslow
:12:18. > :12:27.have another plate of silver. Another throw of the dice
:12:28. > :12:28.for Sophie Hitchon. Sophie Hitchon has
:12:29. > :12:49.saved her best for last. Now then, the speedster. Great
:12:50. > :12:51.Britain are in the final! Gutted not to get the gold but a silver medal
:12:52. > :12:53.is amazing. Joshua Buatsi has emerged as the
:12:54. > :12:56.star of the boxing ring. Incredible discipline
:12:57. > :12:58.and power, that's what It's a one-two, a gold and silver
:12:59. > :13:11.for the Brownlee brothers. Heath and Schofield believed
:13:12. > :13:14.where others might not have done. Scores!
:13:15. > :13:23.That's the golden goal! Great Britain have won
:13:24. > :13:26.the Olympic gold medal. Great Britain in the men's
:13:27. > :13:28.eight are the Olympic champions, and that has
:13:29. > :13:35.a fantastic ring about it. Just the most amazing bunch
:13:36. > :13:38.of guys, I'm speechless. The battle continues
:13:39. > :13:42.between Stanford and Holland. The bronze to Vicky Holland
:13:43. > :13:44.of Great Britain! What a race in the
:13:45. > :13:48.women's triathlon. The first time that Great Britain
:13:49. > :13:53.have won an Olympic medal He will leave Rio as
:13:54. > :14:08.the Olympic champion. Adams has demonstrated terrific
:14:09. > :14:10.variety to this point. Nicola Adams lets out a triumphant
:14:11. > :14:12.roar. I'm now officially the most
:14:13. > :14:15.accomplished amateur boxer we've It takes a lot to win an Olympic
:14:16. > :14:19.medal, especially to be It really has been the most
:14:20. > :14:26.extraordinary Games and you watch that again and you think,
:14:27. > :14:29.my word, it seems like it's gone To be honest, I haven't seen
:14:30. > :14:38.half of that, I've read about them and heard about them
:14:39. > :14:41.but being in the athletics stadium I can't wait to get home and catch
:14:42. > :14:52.up and watch it all. Earlier, I was asking,
:14:53. > :14:55.we were fighting over our highlights and
:14:56. > :14:59.Kate Richardson-Walsh, she will be carrying the flag
:15:00. > :15:03.tonight at the closing ceremony. Van Niekerk winning the 400 metres
:15:04. > :15:17.in world record, da Silva, the Brazilian pole vaulter,
:15:18. > :15:20.everything got wrapped up in that, and Bolt, but I have to come back
:15:21. > :15:27.to Mo, he's ours, as it were. You might have this,
:15:28. > :15:29.I don't know if you've had this with the rowers, but we've watched
:15:30. > :15:32.Mo since he was a kid, I remember him coming to Brendan
:15:33. > :15:44.and I in the junior team, they'd all dyed their hair,
:15:45. > :15:45.including Mo. I think
:15:46. > :15:49.he was the instigator. After that, he used to come up
:15:50. > :16:00.and he'd always kind of want to come and chat,
:16:01. > :16:03.he knew he had something about him He mentioned it last night, I'm such
:16:04. > :16:17.a competitor, I hate losing. That was in him when he was very
:16:18. > :16:19.young. So watching him develop
:16:20. > :16:25.as an athlete and a person, the way he controls,
:16:26. > :16:28.people at the top of their game You don't often get that,
:16:29. > :16:34.but Bolt does it and Mo does it so well and he did
:16:35. > :16:36.it again last night. Just going back to the 10,000
:16:37. > :16:42.metres, he fell over and got back up He was carrying an injury from that
:16:43. > :16:46.fall, I spoke to him this morning and I used to mentor him
:16:47. > :16:49.in the build-up to the '88 Games and I said you were hobbling
:16:50. > :16:52.afterwards and you struggled in the heat of the 5,000
:16:53. > :16:55.and he said, you are spot But he would still be able
:16:56. > :17:01.to produce the best and still win. At the altitude training camp,
:17:02. > :17:07.we were having lunch one day, Mo said, what are the
:17:08. > :17:10.Kenyans going to do? I said, there's no way you can be
:17:11. > :17:16.beaten unless they trip We even said, they can probably trip
:17:17. > :17:21.you up in the last lap He nearly tripped in
:17:22. > :17:25.the heats of the 5,000. But in the 5,000 final
:17:26. > :17:27.he was superb, absolutely superb. There was a little moment
:17:28. > :17:31.you didn't see there, No, two of the guys got reinstated,
:17:32. > :17:41.he went back to sixth. There was a moment at the bell
:17:42. > :17:45.when the Ethiopians tried to get past him,
:17:46. > :17:51.which is what you really should try to do if you are
:17:52. > :17:54.going to beat him, and the aggressive bit of Mo came
:17:55. > :17:57.out, we see him in full flow, he said, you're not getting in here
:17:58. > :18:02.and from that point, he had won. There was 390 metres to go
:18:03. > :18:08.and he makes us work for the win as much as he works
:18:09. > :18:13.for the win, but phenomenal. This is something
:18:14. > :18:20.cyclists have done. Sir Bradley Wiggins has done this,
:18:21. > :18:22.track, road, back to the track again, and you were there
:18:23. > :18:25.when he made history. One thing I wanted to go
:18:26. > :18:27.and see was these guys The Australians, I was with
:18:28. > :18:32.Chris Hoy down in the centre have gone off too hard,
:18:33. > :18:39.they'll never last, we will catch them, and they didn't,
:18:40. > :18:42.they just kept on going. Then we started pinching them back,
:18:43. > :18:44.pinching them back, All four of them are
:18:45. > :18:47.incredible cyclists. And he wanted to join
:18:48. > :18:50.you on five gold medals, but he had a different
:18:51. > :18:52.attitude on the podium. It's like Daley Thompson
:18:53. > :18:58.whistling in 1984. I think he does it as a way of not
:18:59. > :19:02.crying, as a way of almost Possibly, it's one of the things
:19:03. > :19:09.I love about him. He does things you don't
:19:10. > :19:11.expect him to do. But it's that personality
:19:12. > :19:18.and in some ways, the way they prepare,
:19:19. > :19:23.it's making you a robot, it's scientific, making small gains,
:19:24. > :19:29.and he does something like that. An amazing personality, eight medals
:19:30. > :19:34.in total, a British record. Jason Kenny equalling
:19:35. > :19:41.Chris Hoy on six gold medals. That progression of excellence
:19:42. > :19:44.and the new stars that have come up and joined in that list is, I think,
:19:45. > :19:47.really extraordinary. If you look at Sir Chris Hoy,
:19:48. > :19:50.he's out there, level with Jason Kenny, only in front
:19:51. > :19:53.by virtue of the alphabet and he's Bradley Wiggins goes
:19:54. > :20:00.to the top of those on five. Yes, anyway, so Ben Ainslie
:20:01. > :20:15.is there and Sir Matthew Pinsent, the cyclists are getting fed up
:20:16. > :20:21.with the rowers. There was a swimmer
:20:22. > :20:23.and water polo player Laura Trott is the first woman
:20:24. > :20:31.on that list, she is young and could definitely do another four
:20:32. > :20:33.years and I'm pretty We will see them moving up that
:20:34. > :20:44.list very, very quickly When we are looking forward
:20:45. > :20:48.to Japan, you touched on it earlier in terms of mentioning new sports,
:20:49. > :20:51.what is going to be the British policy, the British policy
:20:52. > :20:54.to surfing, but also to karate, which one would think would suit
:20:55. > :20:59.the Japanese in particular, to climbing, to skateboarding and,
:21:00. > :21:04.what is the fifth one? If we took the last two first,
:21:05. > :21:14.we've tended to do OK in team sports where we don't have
:21:15. > :21:20.traditions, so volleyball, handball for instance, basketball,
:21:21. > :21:22.we tried to get a programme going, we have tended to go OK,
:21:23. > :21:26.we've got too far to go in those Those are big programmes with one
:21:27. > :21:33.medal or two medals, so we do look for where
:21:34. > :21:35.we get best results. So where we are looking
:21:36. > :21:37.at multidiscipline sports, where there are various medals
:21:38. > :21:40.available such as rowing, athletics, cycling, sailing, etc,
:21:41. > :21:42.that's where we've tended over the years to kind of think well,
:21:43. > :21:45.that's where we will try and focus. I'm not an expert on skateboarding,
:21:46. > :21:49.nor sports climbing. I would suspect things like karate,
:21:50. > :21:58.we've got a good line through judo and taekwondo
:21:59. > :22:02.etc, I would suspect. We have history there, we have won
:22:03. > :22:04.World Championships at karate. I haven't heard recently,
:22:05. > :22:07.but there is a pathway of sorts. What Steve is saying is totally
:22:08. > :22:16.true on the team sports. The problem
:22:17. > :22:28.with the basketball is anybody who is
:22:29. > :22:29.any good in basketball, they go to the States and it's
:22:30. > :22:32.difficult to keep a team together. You are trying to get individuals
:22:33. > :22:36.back, trying to get a team together at the last minute and you can get
:22:37. > :22:39.reasonably good results, but you They have to be in major leagues,
:22:40. > :22:42.playing all the time, and that is one of the downfalls
:22:43. > :22:45.with those particular sports. It will be interesting to see
:22:46. > :22:48.the new sports coming in. We haven't done too badly at the two
:22:49. > :22:50.introduced here, golf in Eddie Butler's fabulous
:22:51. > :22:59.review of these Games. Never had there been an Olympic
:23:00. > :23:04.setting quite like this. In contrast to what might
:23:05. > :23:15.sink these Games. Brazilian politics in limbo,
:23:16. > :23:26.an economy in recession, crime on the streets,
:23:27. > :23:29.filth in the waters, the Zika virus. The Brazilian boo would ring around
:23:30. > :23:34.Rio, if any Brazilians turned up Then came the imported difficulties,
:23:35. > :23:52.the Olympics' own pet problems, the Russians, half here, half
:23:53. > :23:54.banned, drugs are never far away, and an alleged ticketing scam,
:23:55. > :23:56.arrests of the Irish, Michael Conlon eliminated
:23:57. > :24:05.after judging which just Competition within the spirit
:24:06. > :24:17.of peaceful cooperation. And then there were the problems
:24:18. > :24:20.born of bad luck, And as if the Olympics didn't have
:24:21. > :24:26.enough testing to do, An athletic gift Caster Semenya must
:24:27. > :24:32.sometimes feel weighing But if a couple of bullets
:24:33. > :24:53.came out of the favelas, so too did Rafaela Silva, straight
:24:54. > :24:57.out of the City of God slums, and Rio found it had

:27:12. > :27:14.saviour of the Olympics, Usain Bolt, Bolt
:27:15. > :27:27.is going to take it! His final bursts of sub

:27:41. > :27:43.even though that's what everybody has been doing in the the last three

:27:55. > :28:05.of distance running you have ever seen, the new world record

:28:22. > :28:24.truly matters here. 200 million Brazilians
:28:25. > :28:43.scream with delight. It leaves the legacy question -
:28:44. > :28:46.what becomes of all this? There's no doubt that some
:28:47. > :28:50.of Olympic Rio will rust and fade, reclaimed by a city that plays
:28:51. > :28:54.by its own rules, a city that the Games never
:28:55. > :28:57.came close to taming. Rio may struggle to feel any
:28:58. > :29:09.long-term glow from all this. But whilst the Games were on,
:29:10. > :29:11.while the giant soared in the city that soars,
:29:12. > :29:15.Rio was as Rio looked, For a fortnight in the August
:29:16. > :29:28.of 2016, the most beautiful A proper, proper
:29:29. > :29:37.shiver down my back! Beautifully written,
:29:38. > :29:39.beautifully delivered. Usain Bolt has written his last
:29:40. > :29:42.message to Rio and he's That's not very good,
:29:43. > :29:58.I don't speak Portuguese. It is, we came, we saw,
:29:59. > :30:01.we conquered, Rio I have It will have a special
:30:02. > :30:05.place in his heart. Delighted that hopefully he's
:30:06. > :30:11.going to be in London next year. But from an Olympic
:30:12. > :30:15.stage, that's it. I think for the Olympics as well,
:30:16. > :30:21.it's not just athletics that The whole of the world of sport
:30:22. > :30:25.will miss him when he finally goes. For me, that was a fantastic piece
:30:26. > :30:33.from Eddie, and you know, Rio, that kind of idea
:30:34. > :30:42.of it being a beautiful, and he's a beautiful runner,
:30:43. > :30:46.there's a thing about Bolt which we all fall in love
:30:47. > :30:48.with, his character. The Lagoa, never seen
:30:49. > :31:04.anything like it. Some of the backdrops
:31:05. > :31:08.for the sports are incredible. Especially my sport of rowing,
:31:09. > :31:10.with Christ The Redeemer and the beautiful lake and all
:31:11. > :31:13.the houses around in the backdrop, As the wind picks up and we just had
:31:14. > :31:28.a real rattle to the studio. You can understand why rowing had
:31:29. > :31:30.to be cancelled a few days. The waves out there, sailing would
:31:31. > :31:33.be cancelled for too much wind. We are heading towards
:31:34. > :31:35.the Closing Ceremony now, where we hope it is less windy
:31:36. > :31:38.than here on the coast. The Opening Ceremony had a theme
:31:39. > :31:41.of regeneration and re-invention. I suspect the closing will be
:31:42. > :31:43.party, party all the way. Can't wait to see all
:31:44. > :31:45.the athletes coming in. Thanks to Steve Cram and Steve
:31:46. > :31:47.Redgrave. The Closing Ceremony will be

:32:09. > :32:12.breathtakingly beautiful city, perhaps and probably the most

:32:21. > :32:35.the same feel as an opening, the eager anticipation,
:32:36. > :32:37.excitement replaced by a more relaxed celebration and reflection,
:32:38. > :32:39.still plenty to entertain you with and I'm sure try to explain
:32:40. > :32:42.as well as we say goodbye Thankfully, the weather has,
:32:43. > :32:50.I think, improved. It was borderering

:46:50. > :47:01.She went on to achieve worldwide fame, star of Hollywood
:47:02. > :47:16.She was seldom seen without vibrant, fruit-adorned headgear.
:47:17. > :47:19.I notice there is an extra guava in your hat, very fetching.
:47:20. > :47:24.There is a Carmen Miranda museum here in Rio, where you can
:47:25. > :47:31.To the athletes coming in, a great number have gone home
:47:32. > :47:35.They don't come in as their teams here, they just come in together.
:47:36. > :47:44.207 teams and delegations, or 205 countries and two special
:47:45. > :47:50.teams, and they all come in together under their flags.
:47:51. > :47:57.They sure do, one giant, joyous unruly and rather giddy gathering
:47:58. > :47:59.of the greatest athletes and their phones on the planet,
:48:00. > :48:07.mixing together and sending selfies to every corner of the world.
:48:08. > :48:09.The flagbearer first of all, the Union Flag tonight is being
:48:10. > :48:11.carried by Kate Richardson-Walsh, the wonderful captain
:48:12. > :48:21.Interesting flag-bearers to look out for, the Greek, the first
:48:22. > :48:25.Caster Semenya is carrying the flag for South Africa.
:48:26. > :48:27.The heptathlon champion is carrying the Belgian flag.
:48:28. > :48:32.Simone Biles, the four times gold-medallist of the United States,
:48:33. > :48:37.a diminutive figure, but a giant of these Games.
:48:38. > :48:40.Almaz Ayana of Ethiopia, who smashed the record
:48:41. > :48:43.in the 10,000 metres, an astonishing run.
:48:44. > :48:45.The French judoka Teddy Riner, the giant man who has
:48:46. > :48:53.defended his title in the 100 kilograms plus category.
:48:54. > :48:56.For Hungary, swimmer Katinka Hosszu, three golds and a silver.
:48:57. > :49:04.The most medals they have ever won in a single games is 18.
:49:05. > :49:08.And for Brazil, One Kidney, they call him.
:49:09. > :49:14.Isaquias Queiroz Dos Santos says he has the lungs of three men
:49:15. > :49:17.ever to win three medals in a single Games.
:49:18. > :49:22.What a performance that has been by Brazil.
:49:23. > :49:27.We wondered, are Brazil going to get that little kick,
:49:28. > :49:42.They have won seven golds among their medals.
:49:43. > :49:47.Beach volleyball for the men, men's volleyball, Da Silva
:49:48. > :49:53.the great pole vaulter, a wonderful achievement, that battle.
:49:54. > :49:56.And in the lightweight boxing, Robson Conceicao, the man from
:49:57. > :50:03.Silva, the woman from the City of God
:50:04. > :50:06.That was the first gold, on day three.
:50:07. > :50:12.but there will be more, I promise you.
:50:13. > :50:15.It's not just this lot that have stayed around.
:50:16. > :50:18.We said again, some of the athletes do move on very quickly
:50:19. > :50:22.Andy Murray is in Cincinnati, going very well into the final.
:50:23. > :50:29.The athletes that have stayed, a lot of those who were competing
:50:30. > :50:32.later, but some competed earlier in the Games and decided to stay out
:50:33. > :50:35.here for the full two or three weeks.
:50:36. > :50:40.In they come, and we really thought that it probably couldn't get
:50:41. > :50:42.any better than London for Great Britain's athletes,
:50:43. > :50:46.Great Britain and Northern Ireland have broken new ground.
:50:47. > :50:49.Since the modern Games began in 1896, the first time that any
:50:50. > :50:51.country has increased its medal tally at the summer Games
:50:52. > :50:55.immediately following the one it hosted.
:50:56. > :51:09.So they leave Rio with 67 medals, two more than the 65 that they
:51:10. > :51:12.gained in London, and 27 golds, you have to pinch yourself.
:51:13. > :51:17.I did tell you, the phones, I think it's important to point
:51:18. > :51:19.out that London and Rio are not glorious anomalies.
:51:20. > :51:28.They are extraordinary for Great Britain, but they represent
:51:29. > :51:31.the evidence surely that in UK sport and the BOA and the constituent
:51:32. > :51:33.and contributing bodies and institutes of sports throughout
:51:34. > :51:36.the entire United Kingdom, we do now have a world-class system
:51:37. > :51:38.of talent identification and coaching and athlete support,
:51:39. > :51:40.and it seems amazing to think back just 20 years,
:51:41. > :51:43.returned home from Atlanta with just one gold.
:51:44. > :51:48.Incidentally, if you are wondering, this is DJ Dolores
:51:49. > :52:00.and Orchestra Santa Massa.
:52:01. > :52:05.It's not quite going to be the same length of time as it took
:52:06. > :52:07.for the parade of nations in the Opening Ceremony.
:52:08. > :52:11.They will be ushered in fairly quickly.
:52:12. > :52:13.Again, not the full number of over 11,000 athletes who competed
:52:14. > :52:18.If you carry a medal around your neck, it gives
:52:19. > :52:27.I'm very glad the rain has stopped, because the seats the athletes
:52:28. > :52:30.will sit on are just around the field of play in the Maracana,
:52:31. > :52:33.much drier than they were half an hour ago.
:52:34. > :52:40.They are showing off the hardware out there.
:52:41. > :52:43.When you think back over the last two weeks, we said farewell,
:52:44. > :52:45.really, to Olympic legends Phelps and Bolt, Michael Phelps
:52:46. > :52:52.It's the fourth consecutive Games he has won more
:52:53. > :52:58.He is a one-man team, this phenomenal swimmer.
:52:59. > :53:01.And Usain Bolt, it's his 30th birthday today.
:53:02. > :53:14.I know he has given us such entertainment.
:53:15. > :53:16.He will be at the World Championships
:53:17. > :53:18.next year, but his last Olympic Games, without doubt.
:53:19. > :53:28.There have been so many successes and so many significant moments
:53:29. > :53:31.we can look back on, not just for Great Britain,
:53:32. > :53:36.but for Allyson Felix of the United States,
:53:37. > :53:38.her sixth gold medal and the Americans, their most
:53:39. > :53:40.successful away Games, they have topped the medal table
:53:41. > :53:46.But Great Britain, with 27, an extraordinary performance
:53:47. > :53:58.Sophie Hitchon was excited about coming
:53:59. > :54:00.to the closing ceremony, bronze in the hammer, the first
:54:01. > :54:05.But there were so many for Great Britain's athletes.
:54:06. > :54:07.Medals in 19 different sports out of the 28.
:54:08. > :54:16.And we were trying to keep tabs on all the returning champions
:54:17. > :54:19.from London and I began to lose count.
:54:20. > :54:21.I think it's about 16 of the 21 returning gold-medallists
:54:22. > :54:23.from London either retained their title or won gold
:54:24. > :54:33.China, third place there, well done to them.
:54:34. > :54:36.Look at some of the British firsts in Rio.
:54:37. > :54:41.We talked about Sophie Hitchon in the hammer,
:54:42. > :54:43.but Bryony Page won a first trampoline medal
:54:44. > :54:49.except for Beth Tweddle, but in certain disciplines to have
:54:50. > :54:52.that success in that sport, which was never considered
:54:53. > :54:57.in the past as being a possible sort of medal.
:54:58. > :55:01.2008 was the first medal for over 80 years in gymnastics and Max Whitlock
:55:02. > :55:03.got two in one evening, plus the bronze in the individual
:55:04. > :55:08.And there was Nile Wilson and Amy Tinkler as well,
:55:09. > :55:11.and those repeating and doing great things, Charlotte Dujardin,
:55:12. > :55:13.Laura Trott, the first women to retain an individual
:55:14. > :55:21.Mo Farah's long-distance double, he did it.
:55:22. > :55:25.It all started in the pool with Adam Peaty in that sensational
:55:26. > :55:30.style, with that emphatic 100 metres breaststroke in a world-record time,
:55:31. > :55:38.The British swimmers, a wonderful haul from them, they have
:55:39. > :55:44.One of the more serious aspects, we talk about athletes going back
:55:45. > :55:47.to compete in events elsewhere, we talk about Andy Murray
:55:48. > :55:50.playing in Cincinnati, but some of the athletes who compete
:55:51. > :55:53.in Olympic Games are incredibly highly paid and successful athletes,
:55:54. > :55:58.but a lot of these athletes will go back to doing jobs, to doing work.
:55:59. > :56:09.This might be the end of a lifetime dream to compete in the Olympics
:56:10. > :56:11.and they have to look forward to what else to do.
:56:12. > :56:14.It's interesting that for a lot of these athletes, it will be back
:56:15. > :56:18.And for some of them, it will be business as usual.
:56:19. > :56:21.I mean, Justin Rose, the history man for golf,
:56:22. > :56:26.and what a fantastic supporter and enthusiast of this entire golf
:56:27. > :56:31.resurgence within the Olympic movement.
:56:32. > :56:33.With golf in particular, with the women's event
:56:34. > :56:43.and Shanshan Feng winning bronze, it's a huge audience in China.
:56:44. > :56:47.A lot of people were talking about it being in a rather rocky
:56:48. > :56:50.position, would it be there even in Tokyo going forward,
:56:51. > :56:53.but I'm pretty sure it has cemented a place now.
:56:54. > :56:55.You mentioned Shanshan Feng of China, Inbee Park taking the gold
:56:56. > :56:57.and completing a golden slam in gold.
:56:58. > :57:02.Lydia Ko was involved, a New Zealander, and China,
:57:03. > :57:05.South Korea, these are the markets golf is trying to get into.
:57:06. > :57:07.I think golf is in pretty good shape going forward
:57:08. > :57:21.What we are also looking forward to tonight, coming slightly
:57:22. > :57:23.later in the ceremony, is the handover, the section
:57:24. > :57:26.where Tokyo presents a bit of a ceremony of their own.
:57:27. > :57:30.I promise you, that will be interesting.
:57:31. > :57:32.They have had a good Games, Japan, 12 golds.
:57:33. > :57:41.But significantly, about 20 bronze medals for Japan,
:57:42. > :57:44.which really does say these guys are going to be coming
:57:45. > :57:48.It points to real potential for the next four years
:57:49. > :57:56.and how exciting to think that is where Great Britain
:57:57. > :57:59.was in 2008 in Beijing, seeing that whole process start for them now.
:58:00. > :58:01.A little bit of rain coming down inside the Maracana again,
:58:02. > :58:15.but nobody seems too concerned at the moment.
:58:16. > :58:19.We've had a record ten nations winning their first ever
:58:20. > :58:28.Olympic gold medals here, as the French come in.
:58:29. > :58:33.We've had Ivory Coast, Cisse nicking that taekwondo gold
:58:34. > :58:38.from Lutalo Muhammad in the final session,
:58:39. > :58:43.It was an extraordinary victory and dancing
:58:44. > :58:54.This is like the awkward moment at the start of a school dance
:58:55. > :58:55.where nobody's mingling properly yet,
:58:56. > :58:59.A little nudge from the PE teacher, and they'll all be
:59:00. > :59:03.There's a lot of seats to be filled up here,
:59:04. > :59:14.One of the favourite moments of the Games in the Pacific's
:59:15. > :59:19.eyes was the men's rugby sevens gold for Fiji.
:59:20. > :59:22.They came straight in and took that gold in the men's
:59:23. > :59:35.The rugby sevens team are not here for Fiji,
:59:36. > :59:38.but the javelin thrower Leslie Copeland was carrying their flag in.
:59:39. > :59:41.It was, I would say, expected, because lots of things could happen,
:59:42. > :59:45.For them to get that medal, even if it was against Great Britain
:59:46. > :59:48.in the final, I think a lot of people were still cheering
:59:49. > :59:51.for Fiji, because it meant so much to them.
:59:52. > :59:55.Another nation that a gold medal has meant so much to is Kosovo.
:59:56. > :59:58.This was the first time they have ever taken part as an independent
:59:59. > :00:10.Kelmendi, in judo, they won the gold.
:00:11. > :00:19.The prime minister back home immediately, indeed,
:00:20. > :00:21.christened her a hero and all their athletes here,
:00:22. > :00:25.And Jordan, Bahrain, Vietnam, Singapore, Tajikhistan, Ivory Coast,
:00:26. > :00:36.One thing the weather has done tonight is ensure that we won't,
:00:37. > :00:39.sadly, have the overhead shots of the Maracana
:00:40. > :00:41.which are so spectacular, because helicopters are grounded.
:00:42. > :00:50.We're getting plenty of footage down inside the Maracana.
:00:51. > :00:53.We could send him up. He looks like he could just reach up and filmed
:00:54. > :00:56.the Maracana from above. Great Britain and Northern Ireland
:00:57. > :01:05.are coming in in their numbers. We'll see if we can spot some
:01:06. > :01:08.of these medallists as they come in for Great Britain and Northern
:01:09. > :01:10.Ireland. There's plenty of them, that's
:01:11. > :01:11.for sure. I think France are holding
:01:12. > :02:06.everyone up here. Looking down to see how involved the
:02:07. > :02:10.athletes from Great Britain and Northern Ireland are getting in the
:02:11. > :02:18.dancing. It is fairly restrained at the moment.
:02:19. > :02:20.Glimpse of a couple of the hockey team there.
:02:21. > :02:26.What an achievement by the British women's hockey team.
:02:27. > :02:29.In that penalty shootout against the Dutch as well,
:02:30. > :02:53.Zoe de Toledo, the cox in the rowing being hoisted aloft there.
:02:54. > :02:56.I have to say, this is reasonably orderly so far.
:02:57. > :02:59.It gets a bit out of hand sometimes at a Closing Ceremony.
:03:00. > :03:03.Top woman of the Games, Katie Ledecki, four golds,
:03:04. > :03:06.one silver, queen of the Games for the United States and obviously,
:03:07. > :03:08.Michael Phelps, five golds and one silver for him.
:03:09. > :03:12.What's your high point of the Games if you had to pick one moment?
:03:13. > :03:19.I think, whilst I've cheered every single one of Great Britain
:03:20. > :03:23.and Northern Ireland's medals, I think last night,
:03:24. > :03:26.in the football final, here in the Maracana Stadium,
:03:27. > :03:35.I've always taken a huge interest in the fortunes of the host nations
:03:36. > :03:38.at the Games that I've been to, and the men's football
:03:39. > :03:40.team topped the lot, five-time winners of the World Cup,
:03:41. > :03:44.The Maracana was built to host the World Cup finals in 1950.
:03:45. > :03:48.They lost in the final there to Uruguay.
:03:49. > :03:51.Of course, in their own World Cup two years ago, they lost 7-1.
:03:52. > :03:56.To win against Germany in the Maracana was deeply
:03:57. > :03:58.and doubly meaningful to this nation.
:03:59. > :04:04.We quite often look at football in the Olympics as being, well,
:04:05. > :04:07.shouldn't be there or a less important thing, but here
:04:08. > :04:10.in Brazil, the football was about the most important thing.
:04:11. > :04:12.A lot of Olympic sports have been overlooked by a few
:04:13. > :04:15.When the football final was happening last night, everybody
:04:16. > :04:28.You've got to think, Weverton's goal heroics
:04:29. > :04:33.and the penalty from Neymar secured their sixth gold medal.
:04:34. > :04:35.It was a record until the men's basketball topped it.
:04:36. > :04:40.You had a heady cocktail of emotion and catharsis and joy.
:04:41. > :04:43.I've seldom seen it at all the Games I've been in.
:04:44. > :04:47.The rain is getting a bit heavier here.
:04:48. > :04:57.Again, everyone is well protected and prepared.
:04:58. > :04:59.Wayde van Niekerk would be my favourite.
:05:00. > :05:10.They carry umbrellas, so they're well prepared.
:05:11. > :05:11.Frevo grew out of Capoeira, the African-Brazilian
:05:12. > :05:21.Fights used to break out at carnival marches at the end
:05:22. > :05:27.The police cracked down, so they started carrying umbrellas
:05:28. > :05:29.instead and disguising the Capoeira dance moves, and that became
:05:30. > :05:39.And it also listed by UNESCO as unique intangible cultural heritage.
:05:40. > :05:53.In other words, no one can properly describe it, including us!
:05:54. > :06:29.I was written -- I was reading an Australian article the other day and
:06:30. > :06:35.they said they were making fun -- that used to make fun of winning
:06:36. > :06:40.more medals than Britain at the Olympics and now they had four
:06:41. > :06:44.televisions on in their office and any one of them seemed in playing
:06:45. > :06:45.God Save The Queen. Some soul-searching from Australia but
:06:46. > :06:54.they are dribbling -- delivering... But delivering since 1929,
:06:55. > :06:56.delivered considerable success It's a proud sporting nation and it
:06:57. > :07:02.does underline the lessons that have It is 16 years now since
:07:03. > :07:09.the Sydney Olympics. Remember when the Sydney Olympics
:07:10. > :07:12.and the president of the IOC called Then London got a ringing
:07:13. > :07:15.endorsement as well I wonder what Thomas Bach will say
:07:16. > :07:27.about the Games of Brazil. Everyone waits to see
:07:28. > :07:29.what the statements are and what phrase he will come up
:07:30. > :07:58.with to sum up these Games. The United States,
:07:59. > :08:00.entering the arena. I know there's only so much staring
:08:01. > :08:03.at smiling athletes you can take, but almost all the countries
:08:04. > :08:13.are with us now. They're in no hurry
:08:14. > :08:31.to take their seats. As you see all of these flags
:08:32. > :08:35.fluttering in the breeze here in the Maracana Stadium,
:08:36. > :08:37.it's worth remembering that 87 Niger became the 87th
:08:38. > :08:47.here in Rio, a new Games record. Some countries have stolen
:08:48. > :08:49.the limelight in terms But there's great happiness amongst
:08:50. > :08:57.the huge number taking hardware We're getting glimpses
:08:58. > :09:20.of the Union Flags I interviewed UK Sport Chief
:09:21. > :09:23.Executive Liz Nicholl the other day and she said,
:09:24. > :09:26.we knew we had potentially 79 medal shots and our target
:09:27. > :09:30.was at least 40, but really, we were aiming for the 66,
:09:31. > :09:32.one more than London. She said it shows the system
:09:33. > :09:35.is working at the UK. Yet those of us involved,
:09:36. > :09:38.there's a huge amount more that can be improved,
:09:39. > :09:41.more potential to come, so as we look ahead to Tokyo,
:09:42. > :09:47.it's really exciting. It was something, Andrew,
:09:48. > :09:49.that Katherine Grainger said, whilst we should rejoice at this
:09:50. > :09:51.level of success, amazingly, Well, it's nice to see Japan coming
:09:52. > :10:01.in waving Japanese flags, Again, Japan will play a part
:10:02. > :10:04.in this closing ceremony. Yes, it's not just about success
:10:05. > :10:13.at the top level in sport, but does success at the top
:10:14. > :10:18.which inspires people, inspires youngsters to try sports
:10:19. > :10:20.out, but if there aren't the facilities to try out those
:10:21. > :10:23.sports, it's to no end, The funding, the cost per gold medal
:10:24. > :10:29.for Great Britain and Northern But The National Lottery
:10:30. > :10:39.is funding it. How exciting for these
:10:40. > :10:43.athletes from Japan. The flag, the Olympic flag,
:10:44. > :10:46.is going to be handed over to their capital city,
:10:47. > :10:53.Tokyo, later this evening. Then the build-up will
:10:54. > :11:04.start for real for them. There's a slightly chaotic
:11:05. > :11:06.scene as they come But it does make you think that,
:11:07. > :11:11.you know, once again, we've shared in the biggest and most
:11:12. > :11:14.incredible celebration - ah, Helen She got the gold rush started four
:11:15. > :11:20.years ago in London. Ladies and gentleman,
:11:21. > :12:11.the athletes of the 31st Olympiad. Right, now, the IOC is getting
:12:12. > :12:24.down with the kids. This is Kygo from Bergen,
:12:25. > :12:29.Norway, one of the biggest stars in the world,
:12:30. > :12:39.and Julia Michaels as well. Kygo is the fastest artist to reach
:12:40. > :12:48.one billion streams on Spotify. This song, Carry Me,
:12:49. > :12:50.will be followed by a launch If two weeks of your life given over
:12:51. > :12:58.to night and day watching of the Games isn't enough,

:14:45. > :14:56.from the refugee team is there. You have the women's 400
:14:57. > :14:58.metre champion as well. And the Tongan who is here

:20:20. > :21:00.as we did in the Opening Ceremony, to the contribution of black culture
:21:01. > :21:20.to the formation of Brazil. This tradition of lacemaking passed
:21:21. > :21:23.down through Portuguese culture and celebrated
:21:24. > :21:25.in the song, Lace-Making Woman. It serves to remind us again
:21:26. > :21:29.of Brazil's colonial period, when slave women were allowed
:21:30. > :21:32.to sell lace on street stalls. Slavery was abolished

:35:09. > :35:16.He's won seven of the eight marathons that he's ever run.
:35:17. > :35:19.How special to receive it at a Closing Ceremony,

:35:23. > :35:26.Interesting, Mo Farah receiving his second,

:53:15. > :53:27.the Olympic flag And for Japan and the capital Tokyo,
:53:28. > :54:19.it's all very real indeed now, just as it was for us
:54:20. > :54:21.when Boris Johnson rather enthusiastically took possession
:54:22. > :54:43.of the Olympic flag in Beijing. So to Tokyo's part of the closing
:54:44. > :54:45.ceremony, beginning Tokyo saying thank you for
:54:46. > :56:20.the support that Japan received from people around the world
:56:21. > :56:22.after the devastating earthquakes They are saying thank
:56:23. > :56:26.you for the chance to hold these Games in Tokyo for the second time,
:56:27. > :56:30.after 1964, and thank you to Rio, We move on to sights we might
:56:31. > :56:38.expect in Tokyo. This is the Scramble Crossing,
:56:39. > :56:39.where thousands cross You might see also the Tokyo Tower,
:56:40. > :56:49.1,000 feet tall, modelled The Rainbow Bridge,
:56:50. > :57:10.the bullet train. A celebration of Japanese cartoons
:57:11. > :57:22.and video games as well. Pac-Man, Hello Kitty,
:57:23. > :57:49.Captain Tsubasa. Kitajima, a legendary swimmer
:57:50. > :57:51.making an appearance. A middleweight boxing gold in London
:57:52. > :57:53.four years ago, and the Rio and Tokyo quite literally
:57:54. > :58:12.at the opposite ends of the Earth. A link is being established
:58:13. > :58:25.between the two cities. The man portraying him
:58:26. > :58:38.is the Prime Minister of Japan, In London, the Queen was thrown
:58:39. > :58:43.out of a helicopter, so here's the Prime Minister
:58:44. > :58:46.playing Super Mario. And now we're going to see
:58:47. > :59:09.the Tokyo 2020 emblem, illustrated on the field,
:59:10. > :59:13.and surrounded by an animation representing the 33 sports that
:59:14. > :59:17.are planned for Tokyo, Baseball and softball returning,
:59:18. > :59:27.then there's karate, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing
:59:28. > :59:32.for the first time. This is all performed by gymnasts
:59:33. > :00:02.from Aomori University. And the use of augmented
:00:03. > :00:05.reality graphics. The motto of Tokyo's Games
:00:06. > :00:10.is Discover Tomorrow. And we'll discover more
:00:11. > :00:14.at the Opening Ceremony, as I said, on the 24th of July
:00:15. > :01:46.in four years' time. Tokyo's emblem in
:01:47. > :03:59.the Ichimatsu style. Disappearing to reveal
:04:00. > :04:05.the skyline of Tokyo. We've left Sugarloaf Mountain,
:04:06. > :04:12.and we swap it for Mount Fuji. The silhouettes of the Tokyo Tower,
:04:13. > :04:18.Rainbow Bridge and a model of the Skytree, it really is one
:04:19. > :04:21.of Tokyo's landmarks, appears out of the pipe,
:04:22. > :04:23.following the Prime Minister. That was one classy, confident taste
:04:24. > :04:35.of what's to come, perhaps. It all began with the Japanese Prime
:04:36. > :04:42.Minister appearing as Super Mario. I'm slightly disappointed it
:04:43. > :04:47.wasn't Kenneth Branagh, Now we're going to reflect
:04:48. > :05:19.on the last fortnight here in Rio. There's Thomas Bach
:05:20. > :05:25.and Carlos Arthur Nuzman He gave a passionate speech
:05:26. > :05:28.at the Opening Ceremony. He was the proudest man alive
:05:29. > :05:31.at the Opening Ceremony, he said. I think he's fit to burst
:05:32. > :05:33.here tonight, the President of the Rio 2016

:33:10. > :33:51.The flame may have gone, but we can still look forward
:33:52. > :33:55.to the colour of carnival and we end with the anthem of the city,

:39:58. > :40:00.street carnival songs, that people in this city
:40:01. > :40:03.have learned as kids and passed
:40:04. > :40:06.on from generation to generation. I'm assured the woman with him
:40:07. > :40:10.is a famous model, Izabel Goulart. He has the fastest feet in South
:40:11. > :40:31.America. The whole floor of this
:40:32. > :40:34.Maracana Stadium is ablaze The legendary Pele has just tweeted,

:42:28. > :42:41.is famous for are the giant floats Confetti tumbles down from the roof
:42:42. > :48:57.of the Maracana. And exuberant celebration for this
:48:58. > :49:01.amazing part of the world. Rio has done Brazil
:49:02. > :49:07.and South America proud. That was the party that didn't
:49:08. > :49:16.want to end, but it is over. Good night from us
:49:17. > :49:19.here in the noise and We shall do it again in Tokyo
:49:20. > :49:23.in four years' time. Most of all, thank you to Brazil,
:49:24. > :49:31.thank you to Rio de Janeiro. CLARE BALDING: Many thanks
:49:32. > :49:36.to Hazel Irvine and Andrew Cotter for their commentary
:49:37. > :49:41.on the closing ceremony. And so it ends with street carnival,
:49:42. > :49:44.samba, street fireworks as the flame is extinguished,
:49:45. > :49:47.Rio rocking to the sights and sounds of sport, but the torch has been
:49:48. > :49:51.passed on to Tokyo and it will most certainly be different
:49:52. > :49:55.in four years' time. It may be better attended,
:49:56. > :49:57.it may be better organised, but Steve Cram and Sir Steve
:49:58. > :50:00.Redgrave are here in the studio. If you have a box of
:50:01. > :50:07.fireworks, it's spectacular. But there's been a few duds
:50:08. > :50:15.and a few things that didn't thrill and I think that will
:50:16. > :50:17.be my abiding memory. No Games has to be perfect,
:50:18. > :50:24.apart from London, of course, and it's a spectacular place, Rio,
:50:25. > :50:31.and the people are wonderful, but there are a lot of things,
:50:32. > :50:33.mainly organisationally Colour, we expected a lot of colour,
:50:34. > :50:39.we have seen a lot of colour The passion, any time a Brazilian
:50:40. > :50:43.was competing, the roar, even if it was a half-filled
:50:44. > :50:45.stadium, was incredible. But it comes down
:50:46. > :50:47.to the performance, and the performance of all
:50:48. > :50:50.the athletes from all the countries have been amazing,
:50:51. > :50:53.especially our own. They have really stepped up
:50:54. > :50:56.to the mark where we were thinking Performance-wise, it's
:50:57. > :51:00.been absolutely fantastic. For me, because of the time
:51:01. > :51:02.difference as well, the chance for gymnastics and diving
:51:03. > :51:07.and hockey, cycling, look at Kate Richardson-Walsh,
:51:08. > :51:10.carrying the flag at the closing ceremony, for those sports to really
:51:11. > :51:13.get the chance of the athletes It does come down
:51:14. > :51:18.to the performance. If you're doing the performances,
:51:19. > :51:22.you will get the coverage as well. That's one of the
:51:23. > :51:24.problems in some ways. We've got so many talented athletes
:51:25. > :51:31.doing such good competition and getting the results,
:51:32. > :51:33.but they're getting smaller and smaller chunks,
:51:34. > :51:35.because we don't have the time We will see new stars
:51:36. > :51:46.there and a lot of younger athletes here may be hungry to
:51:47. > :51:48.see how they progress Let's not forget, Bolt had a rotten
:51:49. > :51:55.first Olympics in 2004. Then Mo had a very disappointing
:51:56. > :52:01.first Olympics, so there are people who are here who have not been
:52:02. > :52:03.disappointing, perhaps, but have done well,
:52:04. > :52:06.and will be better in Tokyo. Actually, what you were just saying
:52:07. > :52:10.there about other sports getting their day in the sun,
:52:11. > :52:14.Bolt casts a big shadow, a nice shadow over our sport,
:52:15. > :52:17.and it will allow the new shoots Like Wayde van Niekerk,
:52:18. > :52:23.who broke Michael Johnson's record The sport has stars,
:52:24. > :52:32.it has stars in Britain and internationally,
:52:33. > :52:34.and in Tokyo we will see some of them have their chance now,
:52:35. > :52:37.now that Bolt moves on, The big concern now
:52:38. > :52:42.for Brazil is what happens Ticket sales, they say,
:52:43. > :52:49.are around 13%. I mean, that is desperately
:52:50. > :52:55.worrying, isn't it? There's been all sorts of rumours
:52:56. > :52:58.in the last couple of days because of the ticket

:53:01. > :53:06.about cutting some of the events. How can you train for four years,
:53:07. > :53:11.some for longer, plan to be here, and even two weeks before, not fully
:53:12. > :53:14.decide if they are going to have It may be a case of getting some
:53:15. > :53:22.money in from somewhere, Talking of money, the IOC still has
:53:23. > :53:28.an awful lot of money to spend and interesting choices to make
:53:29. > :53:31.as to where it might be able to support countries that need it
:53:32. > :53:34.and where to spend that money Well, actually that last bit,
:53:35. > :53:39.I think, is so important. UK Anti-Doping have had
:53:40. > :53:44.their funding cut in real terms. If we are so animated,
:53:45. > :53:50.and we should be, and the Russian issue obviously highlighted that
:53:51. > :53:55.around the world, Our sport still has
:53:56. > :54:00.Russia suspended. The IOC, and I'm going to say this
:54:01. > :54:04.now, and its sponsors, and to be fair, money that comes
:54:05. > :54:08.from television, the money the IOC gets from people wanting to be part
:54:09. > :54:12.of the Olympics also has to be used to ensure we trust it, that we trust
:54:13. > :54:15.what we are looking at, and that we can have some faith
:54:16. > :54:18.in what we're watching, and we can put pressure
:54:19. > :54:21.on the Russias of this world to come into this arena in as fair
:54:22. > :54:27.a way that we can manage. It will never be perfect,
:54:28. > :54:30.it will never will be, there will always be
:54:31. > :54:32.people trying to cheat. But we have to invest more in that,
:54:33. > :54:42.particularly drug testing and particularly in countries,
:54:43. > :54:46.we've talked about other countries winning medals and we have to make
:54:47. > :54:48.sure they are winning medals It's difficult in third world
:54:49. > :54:53.countries, they don't have money, funding, the lottery,
:54:54. > :54:56.so they have to get it perhaps from the IOC, and I don't see any
:54:57. > :55:00.reason why, as the IOC is a fairly wealthy organisation,
:55:01. > :55:01.why they don't spend They are the body that should
:55:02. > :55:09.be leading this. But the richest sporting nations
:55:10. > :55:12.should be asked to chip I'm sure that Great Britain
:55:13. > :55:18.would be part of that. What clean sport is out
:55:19. > :55:22.there should be promoted. Let's try and get one step ahead
:55:23. > :55:25.rather than being one step I just love the fact that not only
:55:26. > :55:34.have we been able to watch, enjoy sport and marvel at sporting
