Day 1 BBC Four: 19.00-22.00 Olympics

and Aimee Willmott wants to put that marker down. She is doing fantastic.

She lost out a little bit on the freestyle. How difficult is it on

the first day irons it is the build-up to the first days. That was

a really mature swim, near her burst -- her first -- her best time.

The final will be decided in this fifth heat. Hannah Miley.

Final heat of the women's 400 medley, a very quick one indeed.

Super start in lane four for the world champion, Katinka Hosszu of

Hungary. Hannah Miley, the fly is not

necessarily her strength. It is not bad at all. Very important for

Hannah to stay close to Hosszu. She has raced her on numerous occasions,

after coming second. Hosszu taking the lead. Sakiko Shimizu also doing

well. Sakiko Shimizu. Hannah Miley, 63.1, part for the

course. In the centre, that is the lane that

Hosszu is swimming in. You can see the waves coming off Hosszu and they

will be going right into Hannah. Hannah, I would move over if you

can. Not sure she can hear me. She shouldn't be in that lane with this

experience. She will lose some of the grip on the water. Not a bad

first length. She is back into contention. Hosszu is dominant. She

has an fantastically well this year. The only woman to do under 4.30 this

year. Recently, again, broke that 4.30 barrier earlier this year.

Should be one of those odds-on favourites for the race.

This is Hannah's strong suit. The halfway point. Hannah Miley in the

Red Hat has got some work to do. Hosszu looking very good indeed. I

wonder if she will try to break this world record in this heat. No semis.

Starting to come through in the centre now is Hannah Miley. It will

be very difficult to get close to Hosszu in the final. Second, third,

fourth, fifth. She is three seconds under the world record pace. That

last 100 was ridiculous, but three seconds? She's trying to build up

that amount of lead the world record, but she maybe got a 61.6 in

her on the freestyle. She needs about three seconds ahead. The crowd

are picking up on this. She has realised there is a potential

record. Hosszu very, very strong. Interestingly, Sakiko Shimizu is

right for the world record line, as well. This is a very fast race.

Hannah Miley going well, as well. Can Hosszu get the world record?

That world record line will catch her up very fast indeed, but she

looks good at the moment. She is working really hard. She still has a

great strong leg kick. 50 to go, we could see the world record here.

That would be just brilliant. It is catching Harrop, though. They were

so fast in London. Hannah Miley back into contention, into third place.

Hosszu has to dig in deep, get those legs going to get the world record.

I think it will be too much. Hannah Miley having a plastic last line.

The crowd are really getting into it. 20 metres to go now, Hosszu. The

world record stands at 4:28.3. It is going to be right on. Oh, my

goodness me. Just outside of it. Just 15 100s of a second.

Unbelievable swim. She was three seconds ahead with 100 metres to go.

That's how fast that final 100 metres was. But Hosszu has done the

job. She has made the final, as has Mireia Belmonte. Hannah Miley's time

was very good, indeed. Aimee Willmott will have a good chance of

making the final, as well. Maybe fourth or fifth. Hosszu very, very

close to the world record. This is the lady that swims at multiple

events all around the world all year. She enters five, six events in

every meet she does. Very tough competitor. For her to go for the

world record in the morning, it doesn't surprise me. She's very

capable of having a rest and coming back for the final and trained

again. Big schedule, obviously realised, yes, I was close. Hayhoe,

next time. Tonight. Hannah Miley will go through to the

final in fourth. Aimee Willmott will be in there, as well. Brilliant

swimming. Great to see both British swimmers making that final. Really

impressive. I'm not sure anyone will get close to Hosszu, but there will

be a battle for the bronze. Confirmation of the final. That's

battle for silver and bronze is huge. Aimee Willmott is now with

Sharron. Fantastic swim. The great breaststroke. I am really happy with

that. I wanted to get out in the race a bit more at these major

meets. I have had a brain freeze on the block and I had nothing to worry

about here. I forgot about all of that and my family was in the

stands, I waved at them before. I really enjoyed that race. Some hard

times coming out with the Chinese and you have another behind you, so

you have to last time. 100%. Some of the girls in the heats where

swimming 40 and that is a decent time. I reckon it will have to be a

bit quicker to make it back here. I gave it everything this morning.

Good start today. Max is in my training group. I sat in the stands

and watched him. In doing well made it a little bit more calming. I've

been having so much fun here with Mel and Max and Adam and Molly and

Chloe and I just kind of get out there and enjoy it and I'm happy

with my time. Good luck tonight. So, two British swimmers go into the

final of the women's 400 metre individual medley. Great swims from

both Aimee Willmott and Hannah Miley. They will give themselves a

little hope for a medal. Maybe an outside hope, but they hope

nonetheless. We've had a fantastic day, day one on the Olympic Park, as

the sun starts to move its way down. It is at that point of the day that

we hand over to Dan Walker on Copacabana Beach. I'm sure you have

the sand between your toes. I shall be down on the beach

shortly. Thanks for that. Welcome to Copacabana beach. It is our huge

pleasure to welcome you to our home for the next 16 days. This is the

avenue Atlantique behind us. This is where the road race started a few

hours ago. Chris Froome and the rest of Team GB with a medal chance and

you can watch a bit of that on BBC One. We might be joined by some of

the medallists later in our Copacabana studio. We will be here

for the duration of the Olympics. It is not just about our home here. We

have to go on a wander and show you what the beach looks like. It is

glorious today. Around 30 degrees down here, which is why I look so

daft in a pair of trousers. It is the BBC. If you see naked flesh,

apologies, but it is a beach. Let's be adult about this. This is exactly

where our position on BBC Four will be every single afternoon here in

Rio, early evening for you, through to 2am. This way, the BBC One

Studios are just down here and I suppose we could show you the

geography of this place to give you a good idea exactly how it works. We

are here in Copacabana Beach. That's our beach hut or kiosk. About a

five-minute work further down away from us is our BBC One studio. Hazel

is there this morning, Jason tonight. The Beach Volleyball Arena

20 minute walk for you down there and you can see it, can't you? One

of the great... Not eyesores. One of the great... Things you can see

across the world. Sugarloaf mountain in the background. From here, as the

sun sets in around two hours, it will get dark, fruity, we have

plenty lined up. We love you to get involved. We have all this on the

way. We'll be heading to the swimming later on. We will see if

Adam Peaty starts his campaign for gold in the 100 metres backstroke

heats. There's a gold up for grabs in the archery in the men's team

event. Italy won last time in London, but the South Koreans are

desperate to take back the Olympic title they won four times. We shall

be at the boxing, too. Joe Cordina starts his campaign for the

lightweights and also keep an eye on the heavyweight division. And we got

women's football later on tonight as American legend Hope Solo wins

capped number 200. Those are some of the highlights.

So many ways for you to get in on the action over the course of the

next 16 days. You can watch it all on BBC One at the moment. There is

the cycling, the men's road race. It started here, it will finish here.

Within the hour, they are on the streets of downtown Rio now. That is

on the Red Button now. You can access everything across eight

channels depending on whether you have a funky set-top box or not. The

men's team gymnastics currently up for grabs. You can go to the BBC

sport website and the application where you can watch every single

sport taking place shown live. You will not miss a single second of

what ever sports takes your fancy. We would love you to get involved,

as well. Plenty of time on BBC Four. We highly here for nine hours every

single day. If you're on social media, please get involved.

#BBCRio2016. Sending your comments, hopefully we be joined by athletes

down here. We would love you to tell us what you're doing, watching the

Olympics, where you are, what your hopes and dreams the next couple of

weeks. We will now switch to the tennis. We had from Heather Watson

on the BBC a couple of days ago talking about how excited she is to

be year and how much she enjoying the Team GB experience. She is in

first round action against Peng Shuai. She won the first set.

COMMENTATOR: Heather Watson had this much under control ten minutes ago,

taking the first set 6-4. Breaking to go 4-3 in the second, but Peng

Shuai has fought valiantly and is now a game away from taking this

into the fourth set. It has been a hard one. Heather was broken quite

easily from Peng Shuai and seems to have the balance of power. A

gorgeous day. Debilitating for the players, 30 degrees. Very little

breeze. Heather has to regroup and see if

you can come again in the second set. The second match since she won

the mixed at Wimbledon. She is on a bad trot in singles,

believe it or not. The mixed at Wimbledon in between, she has lost

four successive matches will stop Peng Shuai, coming back from injury,

has lost five successive matches. It's going to need calibre like that

to put Peng Shuai away. The won she has been serving in the opening set.

Had it serves very well. I presented first serve, a few aces, and then

suddenly lost her way. That has been the tactic that has

worked so well when she has pushed the angles. She has served wide very

effectively beforehand has been created opening up the Court of the

Chinese player to good effect. But when Heather puts the ball

through the belly of the court, Peng Shuai has been Dick taking with

effect. When she gets on the front foot, she is a real handful --

dictating. You can see why it is so affect

live. -- effect them. Heather is showing some mental fortitude, she

must have been really upset with herself, look to be in a winning

position. She has served well. Peng Shuai with an ever menacing presence

in this set. Too much. She looked at the umpire

as if it was her fault! That is right!

15-15. Peng Shuai is a bit more frugal in that regard.

She has been hitting this shot well all match, getting plenty of up and

down and spin on the ball, immediately finds the line.

A cracking return and it was set up ideally, it seemed. The perfect

forehand return, got on the front foot nicely, skips around, had the

open court, just went wide, you can sense the frustration. She will

remember that one. Maybe not, break point. To break for the second time

Yes! Thunderous response therefrom Heather. On calling those shoulders

so fast against the hips here, committing with a capital C.

Great rearguard action but it was not enough. So Watson breaks again

and it will be Watson who will be serving for the match. It is all

happening on day one, we will leave Heather Watson there. You can

continue to watchers serving for that match in the first round of the

tennis on the BBC Sport app. The reason we have left that is we have

a world champion and world record holder going in the heats of the RS

stroke. Add TT is in action -- breaststroke -- add PT. # Adam

Peaty. It has not been that fast so far, what can they do. I think they

are in great positions, next to each other. There is Ross Murdoch. Adam

Peaty, great shot, the two British boys and there is the world record

holder, the world number one, the favourite to win the other big

title, Adam Peaty. Ross Murdoch will give him a run for his money, I

think. The final heat of the 100m breaststroke and the world

record-holder, European champion, Commonwealth champion has started

very well indeed. Adam Peaty in the red hat with Ross Murdoch also going

well. Great start from Adam Peaty. So strong. I cannot wait to see the

split. It would not surprise me if he went for right now. 26.6 nine.

His stroke looks fantastic. He is holding what well. Let us see what

he has got left. He is really going well, pushing his stroke. Extremely

fast. It's good the massive world record if he can hold on to it. He

is swimming away from the field. 57.9 two. 57.5! Half a second

underneath the world record. A massive heat from Adam Peaty, he did

not need to do it, but he blew the field away. Massive world record.

One and a half seconds faster than the rest of the field. He is the

odds-on and what a brilliant world record. Stick it in there, let the

rest of the field worry about it. Adam Peaty is brilliant at turning

everything into an opportunity. After that, they will be worried

about him. Ross Murdoch swam well and he will be in the semi-finals.

He was third. Goodness me! Three towns underneath world record pace

at the halfway stage, thumbs up, you are kidding me! I would do a dance.

That is utterly stunning! His stroke is fantastic. Ross Murdoch

congratulating him. Adam Peaty, powerful, all powerful, leading the

world out of these heats and into the semis. There is confirmation of

the result. A new world record for ten two, he looks tremendous! Ross

Murdoch in third and he will be in the semi-finals -- Adam Peaty. That

was a nice start. Can we get a little round of applause? Adam Peaty

that was, from Team GB, come on! He goes in the semi-finals later. We

are having tech eagle issues that the swimming. We will get reaction

later -- technical. We had erupted Heather Watson so let us go back to

the tennis. We left when she was serving for the match in the first

round against Peng Shuai. Back to the Tennis Centre on BBC Four. Here

we go. Watson serving for a place in the second round of the Olympics.

That was an edgy choice, wasn't it? The nerves she must be feeling. --

betraying. It nearly reached the net.

It is almost as if the poor drop shot choice contaminated the next

serving point. Ever alert. Overdid the length. Watson, a sigh

of relief. Sparse clap but it has swelled as this match has regressed.

What a shot. Timely brilliance from Peng Shuai, where did it come from?

Tough to get a read from a racket face, so well disguise, Heather

playing a solid point, look at this. Wonderful creativity from the

Chinese player. She must have been exhausted, she did so much running

on that point. She has a chance to take us into a tie-break.

And rather strange shot. The shop she won, the drop shot, came out of

nowhere. That, just don't know what to expect at the moment from Peng

Shuai. Didn't really get the angle she

wanted. Another chance for the Chinese. Heather responding very

centrally through the court. Almost scared to pull an angle.

Did ask for trouble and duly got it. Heather Watson can't be in the best

frame of mind as we go into this break. Twice she's been beaten back.

Peng Shuai showing real resilience. Can she turn it to her advantage?

Such a brave break point return from Peng Shuai.

You feel she has the momentum going into this breaker.

Just a little late on it. Watson getting a kick-start to the

tie-breaker. I'd like to see a kick serve here.

She felt a little perturbed in the first set when she felt the calls

were going against her. She was cutting it fine there, but just what

she wanted. Get up the court and really hit it,

that's what she's saying to herself. Both players looking desperately to

get on the front but on return of serve. It has been a telling factor

in this batch, especially when their opponent is down on second serve.

Real opportunity on this slow surface to take advantage.

Got the line again. That's the second time, same line. Going to

have a look at it. It must have been close. Can she see a mark? Doesn't

look like it. It's not the first time that's

happened. It looked such an inviting drop shot from Watson and Peng

should have got it done. Far too high from Heather Watson there. Peng

just unable to control it. She's looking down as if it was an

erratic bounce. I don't think so. It was just slow. It is a slow port. It

is and Heather did the right thing. The idea was excellent, just not the

execution. -- a slow quart. -- court. The play is very edgy.

Heather has been playing so well with angle, just a little reticent

that this is an age to take risks and opened the court to the Chinese

player. Peng certainly very tidy from return of serve, as well. It is

anybody's set right now. Heather's just kind of dropped off

that crest of high serving percentage first serves in. Made her

a bit more vulnerable. No Hawk-Eye here. Just have to

accept it. Will. Plenty of heightened leeway. It was

never in danger of hitting the net. Good serve. We spoke about first

serve, how important it is to land that, but Peng has served 20% were

first serves in this set than the opening set.

She's pushed forward. For such a doubles player, she's looked so ill

at ease at the net. She hasn't been as effective as in the past, but

that was a heavily loaded slice from Heather there. Stayed low. Peng

unable to dig it out. Peng didn't have any control on that

final volley, but it landed where she would have placed it. It landed

really deep, made for an awkward pass from Heather who had an awful

lot of time on that, almost too much and spilled wide in response. Tee

set point for Peng Shuai. -- two. What a chance! Will that haunt her.

Can she get it done with this serve? Set point number two.

Depth was decisive. To be honest, Peng Shuai deserves it. Terrific

rearguard action. Twice Watson was a break up but couldn't get it done

and we going to a third set here. We shall be rejoining Simon Reed and

Paul Hand for that deciding set in the first round of the women's

tennis from the Olympic Tennis Centre, which is around 13 miles

that way. I give you some more geography later. This is our base on

Copacabana Beach, BBC Four, if you are just joining us. We have a

helicopter overhead because the men's Road race will be finishing

around half a mile behind us. It has not been the best of days for Team

GB. That is live on BBC One at the moment. About 20 minutes ago, we had

our first world record for Team GB at these games. They came in the for

Adam Peaty in heats for the 100 metres breaststroke. He's into the

semifinal and after that world record, he spoke to Sharron Davies.

Adam, what possesses you to go in and swim like that? Laying down your

cards? Showing a bit of a hand. What was I in? NT 6.60 nine. I have been

practising for a while. I had the crowd screaming more. I just enjoyed

my first Olympic Games and I'm an official Olympian now. It is great

to get out here and enjoy the atmosphere. It doesn't matter what

country they are wrong, they all say, Adam, well done, which is what

the Olympics is about. USB hunting the British team. Hopefully tonight

a better performance, the final, see what we've got. Hopefully I will

give the confidence to other swimmers, it is what you've done all

your life, and hopefully that will translate to the kids back home

watching, or anyone who wants to get involved in swimming. You come to

this arena, people feel a bit scared. It is scary. Once you are in

the lane, it is amazing. Is one thing you are bringing to British

swimming. The whole of the squad has done well today. Everyone in finals.

It is really great. Our job is not done until we got those medals

around our neck. We are looking to get the best performers now, get my

head down and see what happens. Well done. Thank you. A very satisfied

Adam Peaty talking to Sharron Davies. Let's get more reaction from

Mark Foster and Rebecca Adlington. Very happy and justifiably so.

Unbelievable swim from him this morning. For me, the key phrase

today is he rocks my world. That was you halfway through that race. How

impressed were you? From start to finish, his start was so much better

than we have seen at the World Championships and Commonwealth

Games. He has been working on the start. He dug it out there and swung

his own race. He didn't get fazed that it was his first Olympics. He

wanted to lay down his mark and say, I am here and I am not losing even

in a heat. Not .4 of a world record isn't a little bit, it is so insane

you cannot get your head around the fact that someone is one 100 metres

backstroke in that time. Was that given breaststroke?

Normally world records over 100 metres are done by not .01 of the

second. We said coming into these championships, he would put a gold

medal around his neck if he did what he did before but he has done

better. The start was amazing. He just looked immense. You saw him

swimming back down. His technique was great. He is a locomotive. You

cannot question that what he does, his attitude is impeccable. He came

in, world champion, European champion, Commonwealth champion and

world record holder, talk us through that start. We have always seen, as

the rounds go on, he loses about half a body length. His reaction

time is always good. It is the transition from entering the water,

he loses so much. But he took off, his temper was up, he holds the

water well. Becky turned to me and said, I am not worried about Adam!

No one stood out. He looked so smooth and so easy. We saw last

year, but act that normally it is his last 25 metres were he pulls

through, but he did not do that here. He has been working on that

tack deck and looking at the other swimmers and he is such a mature

athlete. You would think this was his third Olympic Games! His

attitude is incredible. When he was talking to Sharon, he seemed so

relax. That is what they have trained for. Him and his coach have

a great relationship, that is what they have been working for and what

all the training has been years towards. It is not a surprise to

him, he knows that is what he is capable of. They will have talked

before coming in here, he has put down a marker. He destroyed by world

record. That puts a marker down, it shows the others that you are here

and on form. None of them have been within one second of that world

record. How key is it having that knowledge going into the

semi-finals? I went for Adam he has done this for the past two years, he

has not lost a heat. He has literally won every single round

occurs in the back of his mind, he thought that Rio was the bigger

picture. Adam has always had this in the back of his mind. Let us talk

about Ross. He can chase down the guy in front. He likes to race. The

start was not great and hopefully if he gets about right in the

semi-finals, silver and wrongs are up for grabs. Adam is out there. --

bronze. There is still an opportunity. What he did in the

World Championships was when the final comes around, we saw in the

Commonwealth Games when he won in the breast stroke, he performs and I

think he will have fought not the best, but still add decent swim. His

backend is much stronger, he does not have the same speed as Adam and

he has come down from the 200. It is different tack X. He is an occasion

swimmer and his next occasion will be in this pool later. Adam

continues his quest for an Olympic title to add to everything else he

already has. What were the technical issues? Is it so hot that everything

is overheating? Yes. That was just from the swimmer by Adam Peaty!

Steamer came off about what! Excuse the sweaty mess. There are thousands

of holes in the roof to create a natural ventilation system will stop

unfortunately it is boiling outside. We are now in a pressure cooker. The

Brazilians are allowed and proud. They are brilliant. The two

Brazilians are the best two swimmers and this place will go mad tonight.

Do not get too hot. You can dip your feet in the sea! Mark Foster has on

shorts, I have to wear a long trousers. Do not show my bare feet!

Every single tweet is asking why I am being forced to wear trousers? At

some stage I might get my legs out. Let me show you our audience here. A

bit more than that! Your live on the BBC!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. The guys in the middle, that is Roy, he is from

Brighton and his cousin Herbert who has come all the way from barbarian!

We will be watching men's basketball tomorrow. Enjoy the basketball

tomorrow. I do not think there is basketball on today. We are going to

look at the tennis. Here is what you can watch on BBC Four and around the

Olympics on day one. Is archery, the men's semi-finals is on the website

or on the sport at. It is currently the men's team semifinal, South

Korea are taking on Australia. Italy are out. South Korea are the

favourites and are desperate to win. We will show you that final later.

We have gymnastics later and this is available right now on the Red

Button. What you are watching is the rotation in the team qualification.

The great British men are involved. That is coming later. -- the men

from Great Britain. Keep your texts and tweets coming in. People are

talking about shorts and trousers. Lots of debate using the hashtag BBC

Rio 2016. Talking about the road race. We will bring you up-to-date

with what happened. It was an amazing race. Brutal in the hills.

It started down here just behind us and finish there as well. Sadly

Chris Frew had a chance for a long way, he had to change his bike, --

Chris Frew. Great Thomas crashed out. He was probably the best

placed. It is no dream finish for Chris Froome. He gets another chance

in the time trial. Four years ago Bradley Wiggins won the Tour de

France, won the time trial at London 2012. The time trial will be in four

days' time for Chris Froome. The Belgian won today. No gold medal for

Team GB. They have had a world record in the swimming pool for Adam

Peaty and he goes again in the semi-finals of the 100 metres breast

stroke. Heather Watson started well in the tennis. She won the first set

and lost the second, she is up a break in the third and deciding set

in the Tennis Centre. Let us rejoin Arab commentator team.

Nip and tuck so far. Watson getting an early break. She has had to save

a couple of break points here in this game. This one is far from

over. Watson making too many mistakes. She

is wrestling with her own mind. She did not exhibit to reflect

frontrunning skills when she was serving. She was unable to cross the

finish line, here she is grappling with herself. -- great frontrunning

skills. Another mistake and the lead has

evaporated. She went for that which was

encouraging, because when she has been doing her best in this match is

when she has gone for angles, got on the front foot, but in the last 15

minutes or so, she is not so much on the front foot and this match is

wide open. It is really yo-yoing everywhere. She is so adept at

wriggling out of jail, it is like Houdini. Heather has had

opportunities and Peng Shuai has met the play. A couple of high forehand

loops making play difficult for Heather. Heather commendably going

for it but not managing to execute and create a bit of space between

her and her opponent today who has been with her throughout. It must be

tempting, especially when it is going to be tight for however long

the match last, when you have made errors, you're tempted to play safe

but she cannot. She has to take the play to Peng Shuai and try and

create the angle, get off the court because when she is through the

belly of the court, she has proved dangerous. She hits it hard and

flat, there is a lucky cow, that she has on the courtside. Leading on to

every little clutch that she can to find a way full. -- find a way.

This match now is beyond two hours. The heat will tell. Peng Shuai have

that awful experience in New York when she was carried off in a

wheelchair following complete body cramp. I do not want to be alarmist,

but that must be a little bit in the back of her mind. I hope she is well

hydrated, old players are sweating profusely. It has been a tough court

to play on, very slow and gritty. Fairly recently laid, this whole

centre and boat players are struggling to hit through the court

with pace and effect and it has rendered a lot of mistakes as a

consequence -- both players. Just the job. Six aces for her now.

You have to take your hat off to her, she has been upping that

service percentage commendably since the start of the match.

Watson has to be aggressive on the return as she was there.

That is good to see from Heather, really positive wind from Heather

Watson their, rate comfort tennis from the return. Look at the

accuracy and pace she played with, getting on here, short response,

multiple options. On the evidence of what we have seen

consistently through this match, you feel that Heather Watson needs a bit

more of a cushion and a couple of -- couple of games. Chance for her

second rake in this set. -- break. It was bad after all she has

achieved in this game. Opportunity gone.

I hate to say that there seems to be a seed of doubt in the mind of

Heather creeping in from a previous loss having squandered three match

point opportunities at Wimbledon. Let us see if she can get across

line. Commendably, she made the return but

Shuai Peng very brave there from the backhand side.

Defending valiantly there, Watson's double hand into the backhand corner

was going to be successful but she just got enough onto it.

Dame. Watson is complaining that the Serb was out. No poor guy here but I

think it is about 50/50 here in the way the doubtful calls have gone. It

is a bit like a luck, it tends to balance out. You have to get that

out of your head as a player. Heather is unable to extend any

daylight between her and her opponent. They have deadlock in this

set. Peng has been strong throughout, having to play catch up.

She was ranked 14th in the world and now 264. Describe what they say

about winning being a habit, a? One of these two has to break the habit.

Watson has lost her last four and Peng has lost her last five.

That is gorgeous, absolutely beautiful the way she came around

the side of the ball. Jeremy Bates is getting a suntan and pretty

pleased with that one as well. Game Watson. A comfortable hold for

Watson. She leads 3-2. When she won the Mixed Doubles everyone was

saying it could be career changing and, if as all the good judges I

spoke to, if they are right about Heather, that actually she is a

better player than even she thinks, then maybe actually winning the

mixed helps an awful lot at times like this. Yes, it is almost like

the believing follows the results sometimes. This happened to other

players with 35 career doubles titles which give a lot of belief

that infuses into the singles play. It should permeate through. Moments

like these are so critical for any player's development and/or both

players want this so badly that they are stifled in that regard. If

Heather can find the way through it could open the door to free swinging

with abandon almost. She is certainly a gorgeous ball striker.

She opens the point really well and opens the opponents caught well with

this great angle and she has put herself in endless commanding

positions, but she cannot quite get across the finish line at the

moment. Oh, yes. We were all sold on the

forehand in the last one but she disguised that with the body

position. Excellently executed. It is this next one here, I thought she

was going with the oft one. As did Peng.

No messing there. Worked the point so well. It is almost as if Peng has

this deep-seated belief, mentally she has been so super resilient

today that now she is coming to terms with the patterns of play of

Heather as well. This is her chance to go break up

again. A strange choice to come in but it

worked for her. It is testament to her athleticism, it was an excellent

stretched her right there, terrific. It ended up being a great drop

volley, so well played, ever. There is a tendency here where Heather

goes 2-0 up and then gets paid to 2-2 but in the next run of games can

she hold for 4-2. Take your point, the last three

times she broken ahead she has immediately been broken back.

She's dealt with the high balls so well, but not on that occasion. Peng

will just not lie down. She has fought valiantly throughout. She is

dangerous when she is behind. She was disappointed with that

return. It is was wide but she was onto it.

Yes, that did look edgy. No feel on that shot at all. No, the body shape

around it was not terrific. The setup. She has had chances for the

immediate break back again. It is incomprehensible that she

missed that shot. It really is, she is normally so good at those kind of

short returns. This time she does take it. Once

again Watson goes a break-up and gets pegged back straightaway. It

has been a recurring theme in this match. Yes, almost taunted by mental

demons. In this match it seems like she suffers from vertigo as she

heads to the heights looks as though she will close out the match but it

is not to be. It is weird. You can see there are hardly any spectators

here, 50 or 60. Certainly no more, and yet this is a huge match. You

can see how it is preying on the nerves of both players, particularly

Watson. Yes, they so desperately want to get across the finish line,

both of them, that they both kind of tighten up when they least need it.

It is often the way, the reverse psychological dynamics. The few

bands that are the are having fun. This is a watchable match. Still

almost impossible to pick. Yes, absolutely. If anyone can pick the

winner they know more than we do. Yes. Two hours and 22 minutes we

have been going. Well taken. Will that give her

confidence? An emphatic bounce smash put away. It is funny, isn't it? It

is the slightest of things like that that can suddenly turn it for you.

Tennis is such a mental game. Is she starting to struggle?

It's been an exhausting match. In very nearly brutal heat. She has

done the bulk of the running. She is starting to cramp again? Maybe that

is one of her stretches to keep her back loose. Maybe.

If there is anything that can test her back as much as this match, she

would not want to know about it. Heather Watson ratcheting up the

intensity in that last point, encouragingly.

That was a mini synopsis of what we saw in the opening set from Heather,

wonderful use of the court, spreading play nicely with good use

of the forehand angle. A chance for her third break in this set.

So, Watson, one game away once more from the match. Serving for the

match in the second set, pegged back, lost the break-up. Here she

is, can she be strong here? Mentally as as physically. It's been a nervy

nailbiter throughout, and if you can just

nailbiter throughout, and if you can just get across this kind of match,

it would give her the world of belief and free her off for the next

round. A positive second serve, pretty

deep. Did not have much on it. All sorts of things going on

between. A great response, two match points

for Heather Watson. She has hit both lines! Heather is

more worried about the previous shot, she thought that was out. She

can see the funny side of it. Her heart was in her mouth, she thought

the first was out. Well played. Working the points so

well. She has been so brave, Peng, flirting with the lines there. It's

huge test now for Heather Watson. -- it is a huge test now for Heather

Watson. Both bringing their best when their

backs are up against the wall. It is good to see that she does not back

off there. Such a positive strike, fully committing to the back end

down the line. Not the worst second serve, but she

guessed and again she was brave and again she has break point. You are

right, it is just stretching her back to keep it a loose, I guess. --

to keep it a bit loose, I guess. Ideal response.

Sympathies go out to Heather after the Anna Quebec lasts at Wimbledon,

she probably found answers in her mind 's eye, wriggling around at

night, can she deliver now? Her third chance, to put this to bed

here. She has done it. It was not Heather Watson at her best but she

found a way against a very spirited opponent. And, Heather Watson,

breaks a run of four successive defeats. Clawing out a win, just

over 2.5 hours. It was hard graft, but very well worth it. And she is

Thank you to our commentators and congratulations to Heather Watson

who goes into the second round of the Olympics, we will find out who

she will play in the second round for you later, I went to her press

conference few days ago, she was talking about inspiration. An

amazing statistic about Olympic athletes, that nine out of ten,

they've survey Debbie one, nine out of ten say that they have been

inspired to take part by someone else's Olympic story -- they have

surveyed everyone. You can see stories like Rebecca

Adlington's, talking about who inspired her over the years, and it

gives you an opportunity to find a local sport or club near yourselves,

I watched handball earlier, there was a brilliant match between Brazil

and Norway. I went on the website to see where

my nearest handball centre is. It can inspire the next generation.

Perhaps you are watching the games with a young person, who says they

want to get involved in that, this will give you the perfect

opportunity to do that. Over the next few days, you will see plenty

more of those inspirational stories. # What would the world be if we let

it be just fine? What would a smile be? Not a tear sometimes. Sister,

sister. I know it could be easy. Now keep your head up, talk to me, I

know it could be easy. # It could be easy, yeah. Now keep

your head up, talk to me, I know it could be easy.

# What would the world be if we could be just fine? What would a

smile be? That is great, it is one hashtag,

four years, throughout the Olympic Games we would love for you to be

involved, use the hashtag to send us anything, wherever you are on social

media, hashtag BBC Radio 2016. Day one of the XXXI Olympiad, we are

four hours behind you. -- hashtag BBC Rio 2016. Now, these are the

headlines. Adam Peaty has secured his place in the 100 metre

brushstroke semifinal with a world record in the heats.

Geraint Thomas crashes out, Chris Froome fades, but gold in the road

race today goes to Belgium. Earlier on, it was the first gold of the

games, in the women's ten metre air rifle final, 19-year-old Jeannie

Thrasher of team USA was the delighted winner. And this will give

you an idea of what is going to happen over the next few hours on

BBC Four. We have plenty to inspire you, we are talking about Get

Inspired over the next few hours, as the sun fades on Copacabana Beach,

archery is coming up. Plenty of boxing later on, both the

lightweight and heavyweight, Joe Cordina going in the lightweight,

and Laurence Sarkodie going on later.

On the beach, we can have a good wonder, let's say hello to our

Copacabana crowd! Good afternoon, everybody! We are going to have to

work on it! CHEERING There we go, let's go to the beach.

Copacabana beach is busy through the day. We are talking about boxing,

these two are loosening up, I don't they are taking part in the

Olympics, get involved... Not with me, each other! Ready,

fight! Where is Adrian and Rocky Balboa? This is lovely! He has eight

hatch of the Pacquiaos about him. -- he has a touch. There was a lady

about to leave the beach. There are family members everywhere, this is

lovely! I hope they aren't taking him into the sea... They are having

fun, playing a bit of football. Wherever you are on the beach, there

is sport taking place, boxing, football, pass it to me... Left

foot, beautiful! Girl again! Left foot, right foot... Let's see what

you've got, Sun! One more? Go on! With this foot? That one? Staring at

the camera committee lovesick crowd, let's give

-- staring at the camera, let's give him a cheer if he does it, I don't

think he can perform! Ready? He's done. Never work with

children and animals! Come on, are you going to do it? Yes! A little

salute to the crowd as well. They are from Argentina as well! Thank

you very much. He's had his moment, he is saluting the crowd.

There is a young lady over there and her son takes place in the sailing

on Tuesday, they are Argentinian. We will keep you up-to-date with

absolutely everything from our base here at BBC Four. We are here for 16

days but now we will go to some more live sport. It will be the archery

and the live men's semifinal, but first he is all you need to know

about it. Archery appeared on a few occasions in the early 20th century

before becoming a regular Olympic event in the Munich games in 1972.

In the Olympic Games archers use a recurve bow with the arrows being

projected at speeds of around 140 miles an hour, or 225 kilometres an

hour. During competition archers must stand 70 metres from the target

which is 1.22 metres in diameter with ten rings of values between one

and ten points. The ten point really is closest to

the centre centre and has a diameter of 12.2 centimetres. There are four

archery events at the Olympic Games, individual and team competitions for

both men and women. Competition is split into two phases, first of its

biggest 70 metre ranking which determines your ranking at the

Olympic round which is a head-to-head knockout competition.

For the individual competition archers compete over five sets of

three arrows with 30 seconds to shoot the Jarrow. The person with

the highest score at the end of each set receives two points and scores

are tied archers receive a point each. The first person to reach six

point is the winner. In the team competition there are three members

of each team who compete over four sets. With six arrows per set, two

per team member. They have two minutes to shoot all six arrows. The

first team to reach five points wins and progresses to the next stage in

their quest for Olympic medal places.

That tells you everything you need to know. What a venue! It is in the

Maracana our area of the games, normally the area where there is a

raucous Rio Carnival. That brings people crowding into the Stadium in

February. It is more sedate today but no less dramatic. The marathon

will finish there. It is a spectacular venue. We will join the

race will the gold semifinal stage. China beat the reigning champions

Italy in the quarterfinals, a bit of a shock. They take on the United

States so we will join our commentary team.

This is China against the USA. You as a the highest ranked team so they

will probably elect to shoot first. The matches are the best of four

sets with teams shooting to arrows each. There are no points for a loss

and the winner is the first team to reach five points and teams have

five -- two minutes to complete each end. The USA will shoot three arrows

here and China will shoot three. The USA will finish their six for the

first set and then it will be China. It is a good start from Kaminski.

The Americans shot beautifully in the quarterfinal with Brady Ellison

particularly impressive. 29 is a great start. China have only ever

beat the Americans once in a team competition which came in 2010.

Their last meeting came at the World Cup in Poland in 2015. They lost 5-4

in the semifinal. The great start. Wang Dapeng very assured in the

semifinal. Xing Yu opens with an eight so it is advantage the USA.

They lead by four. Eight or better will give the USA

the first set. That is nine. 57 points and the USA

are uncatchable. These are still important arrows for China, just to

get the feeling back. Interesting that all four of the arrows so far

have gone left of centre from China. Maybe they have not quite adjusted

to the wind blowing here. There was only a slight breeze. You can see

the flags in the background. Plus ten for China in the semifinal, but

the first set has gone and the USA lead by two set points to nil,

having taken the opener 57/ 53. -- 57-53.

Those two opening arrows from Wang Dapeng and a Gu Xuesong allowed the

Americans to relax with a Kaminski getting a ten under nine, all of the

archers from America getting a ten under nine. Desperate to go one

better than four years ago when the USA won silver behind Italy. -- 810

and a nine. Ellison has won one World

Championships in the teams event. 57-53, two set points to zero for

the United States of America. Ellison would love to get an Olympic

gold medal. He has been one of the world's leading archers for several

years now and it cannot be easy against, particularly Korea, who

have really set the standard for many years in the sport but he

fights Harold. He has been a fantastic archer for many years.

That is nine at the start of the second set. The sun is just getting

lower behind that stand to the right hand side and the shadows are

starting to go across the Sambodromo.

Ten from Gu Xuesong. You can see the pressure in the bow on his left arm

when it is out straight. 28, very decent from the first three arrows.

Can Kaminski start the reply well? You bet he can. Ten, excellent. He

just looked like he was losing it for a second there with that arrow

at the moment the clicker went in it was an absolute gem.

What a start to the second set by the USA.

Nine. They have a 1-point lead. After the first three arrows of the

second set. Ten. The first ten of the semifinal

for Xing Yu. He is from Beijing. Ten. The great response from China.

A slider, so 56. How critical is that going to be?

Three goals will be enough for at least the draw. I have a feeling

that eight from Gu Xuesong might just come back to haunt them, we

shall see. It continues, that ten is important

because it allows Brady Ellison to find gold to win this set. It just

makes the target a little bit bigger for him.

It doesn't need to be bigger, because he has found the middle of

it. Brady and the USA go into a four set points to zero lead against

China. They are on the verge of the gold-medal match. They need to

maintain their concentration, to get over that line. They have taken the

second set 58-56. The scores are provisional and we will wait for

them to be confirmed. China are in the last chance saloon. They can

afford no more mistakes. They need to win set three and four and even

then it will only be good enough to take us to a shoot out. The small

margins were highlighted in that set. Touched on that last arrow

which was an eight. It ended up proving the difference in that set,

for the Americans to win it. If Gu Xuesong and got in the tens and they

would have shared a point. Even if he had got it in the nine it would

have put more pressure on and that is the thing. Small errors, tiny

errors can have a big impact on schools. Confirmation of the 58-56

and the USA lead. China should first in this next set. -- shoot first in

this next set. Gu Xuesong does his best to keep

China trains on -- China's train on track.

you very much. He's had his moment, he is saluting the crowd.

That is three ten is down. This gentleman here... Could get three

out of four. A passing helicopter could put him off his stride. They

are still comfortably in control of this set. If they find the centre of

the target they could have a lead of three. Brady Ellison just drop slow

but they still have the advantage. The USA. But it is just by one

point. The first arrow outside of the gold from the USA comes from the

experienced Brady Ellison. That's slight opening has to be

taken here by China. Nine. Not exactly capitalising. Gu

Xuesong again. They need that age to be upgraded to a nine, but right on

the money, the exact same spot as the last arrow.

-- eight. 53. Even if it is 54... You feel it probably will not be

enough. He loved it! Fist pumping before it even left the bow. Jake

Kaminski. A long hold, nine. Well, a nine would take the eight star out

of the equation, anything in the gold should be enough to see the USA

through. It is a nine, that should be that. We await confirmation for a

target judge, but from the reaction of the USA team, we know that they

are through to the gold medal match for the second consecutive Olympic

Games. This time, rather than Italy, they face South Korea. Handshakes

all around, we await the final score. Provisionally, 55-53.

Although it might be 55-54. Alison, Zach Garrett and Jake Kaminski will

be back to contest the gold -- Brady Ellison. The USA were too good, they

put that marker down early, 57-53, all three of their archers getting

tense. That one from Jake Kaminski, second in the set, right on the

money. He got four out of six and he was the one who ended up stepping up

in the semifinal, encouraging signs and the USA, as we see the confirmed

final scores. Encouraging signs, all three have been in good form so far.

The eighth zero upgraded, the final score in the third set is 55-53, the

USA through to the gold medal match. Six set points to zero.

Welcome back to the Copacabana beach side studio on BBC Four. It is

4:50pm in Rio de Janeiro, 8:50pm at home, we will bring you the final of

the USA taking on South Korea in the archery.

Now, we talked a lot about judo, there's been disappointment for Team

GB which we will tell you about, but it's always important on day one of

the major championships like this, a lot of people... I've been in this

position, you watch an Olympic sport for the first time every four years,

you need a quick reminder of the rules, we will tell you now about

the judo. Hopefully it will tell you the

difference between all of the moves...

Judo was developed in the late 19th century in Japan, and has been an

Olympic sport since Tokyo in 1964. Each contest in judo has age oration

of five minutes for men, and four for women. They enter a golden score

where there is no time limit. The highest scoring technique is a

ippon, which instantly wins a contest. It can be achieved in four

ways. Throwing an opponent with impact on their back with

considerable force and speed, pinning and holding down an opponent

for 20 seconds with selected holding techniques, and when an opponent

submits, you get two waza-ari. A waza-ari can be achieved in two

ways, throwing an opponent but lacking one of the elements of the

ippon, or holding down an opponent for 15 seconds or more, that less

than 20 seconds. A yuko is worth one point. Judaism a knockout

competition, and four competitors are placed in a drawer that is

divided in two tables, the top eight athletes in each category are seeded

in line with their world rankings, and two athletes will compete for

the gold and silver medals. I hope you were paying attention.

Ashley McKenzie was a great hope for Team GB. In the 60 kilograms, this

was his second round bout against his Catholics Donnie opponent and it

did not go the way that Ashley McKenzie was dreaming. He was taking

part in his second Olympic Games, and last against the world

champions. That was in the second round, he is heartbroken, Ashley

McKenzie, if you ever wonder what it is like to go out of the Olympics,

this is a picture of Ashley McKenzie, after that bout. Just

outside of the arena, breaking down by the side of the bins. Hopefully

that will be inspiration to him, he spoke after his defeat to say that

he's desperate to come back in four years in Tokyo, and come back and

win the gold medal. Hopefully he can recover from that defeat as soon as

possible, that meant that Yeldos Smetov went into the semifinal. In

the semifinal, he's taking on his Azerbaijan opponent, Orkhan Safarov.

Let's go over to our commentary team, Mark Doran and Neal Adams.

COMMENTATOR: Has extant in blue, Azerbaijan in the white.

Watch out for the counter techniques from Yeldos Smetov, two different

types of attack. Dropping write-in for a shoulder throw. -- dropping

right in for a shoulder throw. Orkhan Safarov is very cagey with

his gripping. When he does get a grip, he goes in for the attack. You

have two grip up. A lot of respect out there, and it really is the best

thing to have that kind of respect for your opponent, you know that

they are going to go into the air otherwise. It's a penalty each. Of

course, we've seen it where people have gone all the way up, then ready

for disqualification, they have not been able to grip up, that was the

idea of the bigger jackets. That is why they are catching the sleeves

such a lot. Both of them are on the sleeves. Orkhan Safarov tries the

attack. Controlled aggression, that is what

this sport is about. Maximum efficiency, and minimum effort. It

is hard to use minimum effort when you have someone coming at you on

the other side of the matter like these two. Yes, but the nice thing

about it is the twist of the hips, and a change of body movement. You

can turn it against your opponent and that is what we see now. Is he

going to go there? Yeldos Smetov tries to get onto his arm, Orkhan

Safarov, not renowned for his ground work, momentarily is in trouble, a

bit of panic. Three minutes remaining in this semifinal now. The

right hand, gaining a grip. It does not mean anything unless his left

hand can convert as well. Struggling to do that. Getting involved soon

enough. It is right against left, fighting for the sleeve, one of the

problems is right against left, when you fully commit yourself, if there

is a slight body movement, they can turn your whole movement against

you. It is what we call a counter movement, and it can be very

dangerous, it is normally against opposite. Smetov goes up high with

his left hand. Cannot get the right moving. Smetov is not really

initiating anything, he is waiting. Trying to get Safarov to make a

mistake. Three minutes gone, two to go. It is an intriguing contest. It

is cat and mouse, this one. A bit of tactics, they can feel the danger

from each other. Most times the game is played, the mouse can get the cat

here, very quickly. It changes within a split second. It can really

go away from you, you think you are in control, then it goes away from

you. Two penalties against both of these penalties, that does not cause

a concern, it means of nothing else happens, there's a long way to go,

we are into the golden score territory. The coaches respectfully

watching on. They cannot shout while they are actually fighting. They

can, they are not allowed to but it does not always stop them! If they

want to watch from the stands, they can! They will both be desperate to

have a time-out. There's a moment where the coaches would love to get

in the year... That's the thing about I was bored, it is five

minutes of actual fighting and you had to go and attack -- that's the

thing about this sport. You can get penalised, it's easy to

go away, it is constant and has to be a proper attack and brake

balance. It is constant. That is what makes

it such a hard and physical contact sport. Beginning to sense that

something could happen now, as the clock ticks towards 40 seconds, this

is the semifinal, and the winner will fight for a possible gold.

Silver at worst, the loser, for a bronze.

Starting to open up, that is going to be a score, that started

standing, that stood. I would be surprised if the referee or video

referee does not go into that. Because he took him backwards there,

Smetov, and he gets the score. Safarov looks to the referee, no

point in doing that, look at the clock and realise you have two fire

up, young man. It was absolute, he did it, 14 seconds left, and he

changed the direction of the technique. It does not matter that

he was only a couple of centimetres off the ground. Even then, it meant

he had the score. He is two minutes away from the final. Seven seconds

remaining. Smetov, in blue, has the lead. He cannot run away... He goes

to the ground. It might be a penalty against him. Not a concern and less

two more come in quick succession. One Moore, three seconds... Too

quick, very quick, why wouldn't she be keen to go separate, can he do

something here? He can't. The gone goes, and you see

the joy. Smetov of Kazakhstan is in the gold-medal match of Rio 2016, a

shake of the head Ron Safarov, so close. It's not to be. -- from a

Safarov. We will bring you the final of that

later on BBC Four. If you've just put on the television, hello, this

is the studio on Copacabana Beach. We will be here from day one over

the next 16 days of the Rio 2016 Olympics. Smetov of Kazakhstan goes

into the gold-medal match, we will be back in that arena at the Olympic

Park which is a roundabout... 13 miles that way. I know that is basic

Brazilian geography, but right about one hour in Rio traffic, at the

Olympic Park, loads of sport going on, we will show you that over the

next few days, probably the next two weeks.

Safarova this is what is coming up in the next few hours on BBC Four.

We have the archery on the way with the USA against South Korea in the

final. The South Koreans are the four times champions. Italy went out

and they were the reigning champions.

It is nine o'clock at home, I got my hour was wrong! We have the boxing

coming up. It takes a while to adjust your timings. We have

football this evening as well. The 200th cap for the USA. They will be

taking on France. That is coming up later on BBC Four. If you would like

some specific timings, judging what I am saying in the last few months

I'm not the best person, but the archery is coming up in the next few

minutes. The boxing in about 45 minutes time, and we have women's

football at 1015. In terms of what you can watch elsewhere, on BBC One

it is the rugby sevens, the second game for the Team GB women who won

against Brazil earlier on. That is on BBC One right now. On the Red

Button there is plenty going on including women's hockey with

Argentina against the USA and it is in the first half and goalless at

the moment. If you are a big hockey fan you can watch that on the Red

Button at the moment. We saw Heather Watson winning her first match in

the tennis earlier on and there is like tennis on the BBC website and

you can watch all the sports on the BBC website or the BBC's cap. There

is BBC One and BBC Four as well. You can be in control in the next few

days over what you watch and when you watch it as well. If you want

any highlights, we can bring you those regularly on BBC One and BBC

Four and headlines throughout the day as well. I will let you into a

secret at in a moment. On BBC Four we have some interesting things to

keep you entertained, and one of them is a golden coconut. Can we get

a close-up of the Golden coconut. Team GB have not yet won a gold

medal but every time they do, with no expense spent here, we have

bought a coconut which has cost just over a pound and we have

spray-painted it gold. We have a hatstand and we will dangle our

golden coconuts on the hatstand every time Team GB win a Gold so we

can have a celebration here from the Copacabana crowd. Will everyone

celebrate? They are all going wild for the golden coconut. I think that

feature will go down incredibly well. Do not panic. As soon as there

is a Team GB gold, the golden coconut will be coming out. Thank

you, Madam thought that enthusiastic thumbs up. Darren Campbell won

medals in previous Olympics and he may not be the man you would expect

to follow archery. We wondered whether we should give you an

in-depth look at the rules or whether we should just get Darren

Campbell to have a go? We did the latter. The pressure was on Rio to

find a spectacular venue for the archery. Step forward the

Sambodromo. During the Rio Carnival 19,000 people Filby stands for half

a mile. Having just walked into the arena, the first thing that really

strikes you is the heat. It is so, so hot. The target from the shooting

line to the target is 70 metres away. As you stand here you can feel

the sun on your back. In this arena that crowd feel so close it feels

that you can touch them and you can hear every single breath. You can

see Christ the Redeemer just over there. Is it your time? You will

have 20 seconds to release your bow. Failure to release the bow will

result in a penalty. If you just look over there you can see the

sock, it is slightly picking up and you can't wait for it to be still or

you will receive a red card. It is not like football, you won't be sent

off, but what you will lose by receiving a red card is the highest

score from that set. It will hit this target within one second, at

140 mph. From the shooting line I couldn't even see the middle target,

but now I am to disclose it is about the size of a DVD. The best archers

will actually hit this little cross. Ridiculous. It would be wrong to

come to such a fantastic venue without giving it a go myself but I

will need a bit of coaching and a bit of help from Chris. The event

organiser, the main guy. Chris, you were involved in London 2012 and you

will be involved in Tokyo. Absolutely. What is this place like?

It is amazing, it has never been used to the sport before so it is

the first time as a sporting venue said there have been challenges

there but it is in the culture and the fire of Brazilians, with the

carnival, and we are trying to bring that save Carnival -- same Carnival

right here with a party in the OEM picks right here. When you actually

draw back, keeping this arm still, it looking straight down creating no

movement, so you can see down the target, is hard. It is all about

hitting it when you can, it is not depended on muscles, it is about

controlling breeding and your mental ability and being able to get the

ten when you need to for the gold medals. So, breathing, forget about

strength and power. Your brain is your don't fight it, but use it.

Point to the target, bring this to your right eye. In the middle.

Relax. You have got nine, that's not bad. Nine! Nine!

Amazingly he didn't make the Team GB side. He was going from three metres

but the big boys go from another 67 and that gives you an idea of how

hard it is. Team USA store of China and they are taking over -- they are

taking on South Korea in the final of the men's team archery. It is

here live on BBC Four. What a start from Korea, ten, ten,

ten. The gauntlet is firmly in front of the USA. If that is the start

they are looking for, then long may this match continued. What a

brilliant start from the Koreans. Just outside from Kaminski. The

Americans know that a little minute distance outside of the line is all

it could take between gold and silver and they are going to have to

perform. Garrett has to reset and it is two minutes per set per team.

These athletes are used to the pressure. Garrett just resets and

finds the centre of the target and gets a pat on the back from a coach,

well-deserved bad indeed. Now, Alison. Ten. That is some response

from the USA. They have just dropped one point. Some very good archers.

Alison is the world of former number one. Archery of the highest standard

here. Well, this is magnificent to watch.

It is just like a metronome, isn't it? It is the same thing over and

over again. Even with the stop watch on them they would beat from 100 a

second from the address to the release every single time. Yes! It

is perfection from Korea. The USA, as you can see the women's team in

the middle there, celebrating, but these are important arrows for

Kaminski, Garrett and Alison. If they lose it 60-59. OK. That just

lets them know they are still there. If you are going to have a loose

arrow it may as well be when the set has gone. Exactly. We just saw it

from Kaminski there. I tell you what, this could be an

absolutely cracking men's team archery final. Hats off to career as

that is the first perfect set we have seen all day, and they

delivered it in the final. An incredible performance with Ellison

and Garrett also getting ten in that set. The only one that is struggling

to settle at the minute is Jake Kaminski and it is a very

interesting set of circumstances we have here for Kaminski in

particular. Kaminski was in London and he won a silver there and it is

only Zach Garrett that has no Olympics experience but you wouldn't

know it from the way he has settled into this final. The standard of

archery is so high from these Koreans, all the way through the

competition they will be very tough to beat. They have to get a monkey

off their back because they have never beaten the USA in an Olympic

match. They have always lost in the USA when they come up against them

in an Olympic Games, but a confirmation that it is 60-57. 60!

That's right, not a single arrow missed. 60-57. Let's see how

Kaminski goes here, he is the one with the pressure on him here.

Blemish free from all the other five archers in set number one. Very

close, wasn't he. He has a long hold, doesn't he?

Garrett. They need a ten from Brady here. Given what's come before.

Oh, they are not far out, are they? But when you are up against a side

that is shooting like Korea... Five millimetres more towards the target

then they would have had three towns, that is how close the

Americans were there to get intense, so very, very close. But, the

difference in the scoreboard could be massive.

No hanging around from Ku Bon-chan. That is impressive, it is so

impressive. Lee Seung-yun, this guy has nerves of steel. He is so

steady. Wow. I think that is nine. It is

just nine. There is one point in it. 28-27. Isn't it funny how we have

just seen the standards drop a tiny smidgen of a bit now. That is down

as a 27, it is an eight start for Lee Seung-yun. A ten for Kaminski,

that is his first of the match. Kaminski joins the party.

The customary long hold from Garrett, ten. Oh, yes. Well, Ellison

needs a ten here as well. He has got it. Brilliant stuff. 57.

Well, what it does do is it puts pressure on Korea. They haven't had

it yet in this gold-medal match. Kim Woo-jin with a ten. Ku Bon-chan yet

to miss the centre of the target. He continues to just hire all the

way down the middle. What a performance from Ku Bon-chan so far.

Born to be in an Olympic final, Ku Bon-chan, so far... We go with that

eighth star, that will be a nine. This is phenomenal archery from

South Korea. I will go back to what I was talking about earlier, the

last bit of the first set, 1996, at the Atlanta games, the USA one two

49. In Atlanta, that was to win gold,

and in London, the Americans beat South Korea 241, two 19.

This will be a first win. Going back to the highlights, you saw the three

nines, all very close to the perimeter. Just one of those had

snuck in, and we would have had a tide set, we just had the arrow

upgraded, and South Korea have the second set. This has been upgraded

to a nine, so South Korea move in with a four set point to zero point

lead against the USA, the USA now need to win the next two sets,

confirmation... 58-57, it is 4- 02 career. -- it is 4-0, to South

Korea. The USA put those first three hours

behind them quickly here, they need to repeat their confidence.

Jake Kaminski got a ten. With his second arrow of the second set, he

has found his range now. All smiles, nice and relaxed. Nine. It's hard to

believe, anything in the nine zone is going to be a problem for you,

that's how high the standard is. So, 29, that is near perfection. Kim

Woo-jin... Of South Korea, in the driving seat of this men's

gold-medal match. Well, they've had 13 arrows in this final, South

Korea, and they've only failed to score ten on two occasions. 11 tens.

This man has not missed. That is five consecutive tens for Ku

Bon-chan. Even if you go into the old style of scoring... South Korea

would be absolutely romping this. Talk about bringing your a game, Ku

Bon-chan. Three times only they'd missed the ten zone. 15 arrows,

1210s. The USA would be four points behind in the old scoring system. It

shows how well they are shooting, Jake Kaminski, his first three

arrows were off target but his next three, he went nine, eight, nine,

now he has gone ten, ten, ten. Nine. Garrett will be disappointed, no

tens in this set for him. It means that Brady Ellison has two step up

here. It is an eight. That, I think, could open the door, and he cannot

believe it. Apologies to his team-mates. That means that South

Korea needs 27 for the gold. 17 for the gold, and the man about to shoot

has not missed you centre of the target in this gold-medal match just

yet. -- the centre. He's got another! Six out of six for

Ku Bon-chan. Seven required for the gold medal, for South Korea...

Ten! Ten! Ten! It is a gold medal for

career. What an outstanding final. Archery, at the highest quality --

for South Korea. Simply incredible stuff. Just three

arrows in the entire match outside of the ten zone. That is brilliant

from South Korea, the utmost respect from Ellison to Kim Woo-jin. And the

women's team celebrate in their white hats, in the middle of the

screen. It was brilliant, the Americans tried as hard as they

could but South Korea set their stall out early with 60 out of 60 in

the first set, and Kim Woo-jin, who did not have any Olympic titles

before today, now has one, he will be back in the individual to try and

add the individual title to his two world titles.

A brilliant performance from the men in white. They are the worthy

winners of this gold-medal, winning 6-0 set points, and it has been

brilliant to watch. A 20th medal in all disciplines for South Korea, and

they have not dropped a set Indian tyre competition. -- in the entire

competition. Worthy winners. A phenomenal sport, that will go down

as some of the best sport you seen at the Olympic Games here in Rio. A

phenomenal performance, our jaws were on the ground through the

quarterfinals, the semifinals, then they went to another level.

Outstanding performance from these three. Then, you have to take into

account that none of them, none of them have been to an Olympic Games

before. It's an incredible statistic. There is going to be some

fantastic match-ups, perhaps, with these team-mates turning rivals in

the individual? Those are mouthwatering potential clashes, but

Ku Bon-chan, absolutely as you would expect, soaking up a wonderful

moment in his archery career. Six out of six in the ten zone. Getting

the field of play ready for the medal ceremony. We will bring you

that. As the sun sets, it is congratulations all around. It worse

fantastic archery, no other word for it, they were simply sensational.

DAN: USA could not compete, five-time Olympic champions now,

South Korea. Welcome to BBC Four, we are here on

Copacabana beach. It is 5:24pm, in Rio de Janeiro, the sun is setting,

it's a glorious place to be. We are privileged to be here, we will go

onto the sand later, we are here 2am. It is currently 9:24pm, you

know that, but this four hour time difference is difficult for me to

get my head around! We are here for the next 16 days, it is day one

here, full coverage on BBC One, let's bring you up-to-date with some

of the headlines from the first day of the Rio Olympics 2016. Brilliant

from Adam Peaty earlier, securing his place in the 100 meter

breaststroke semifinal, a world record in the heats. Semifinals for

him later, Ross Murdoch is also true. It was the road race which

started just behind us here on Copacabana earlier, Geraint Thomas

crashed out, Chris Froome was fading. Greg fan arm and was the man

who backed the gold for Belgium in the road race today. That was not

the first gold medal of the games, the honour for that went in the ten

metre air rifle final for the women, 19-year-old Jenny Thrasher of teen

USA was the winner there. Congratulations to her. This is how

the timetable looks on BBC Four, as we show you another beautiful shot

of Rio de Janeiro, the men's 60 kilograms final of the judo is

coming up, Ashley McKenzie went out in the second round. We have British

action in the boxing, Joe Cordina coming up in the light weight, and

in the heavyweight division, we have Lauren Sarkodie at 10pm. Hope Solo

won heard 200th for the USA -- has one heard 200th cap.

Rugby sevens on BBC One, but in terms of what else you can see on

the BBC at the moment, at the moment we have fencing at Olympic Park, you

can watch that right now, if you are into that. And on the website, 20

minutes walk on the other end of the Copacabana, the beach volleyball,

that is on most nights, it is packed in the evening. If you quieten down,

you can almost hear the roar when the Brazil team are playing. The

Brazilian pair saw off Canada earlier on. Thank you for your texts

and tweets, the hashtags throughout the entire two weeks is BBC Rio

2016. Earlier on, there's a lot of chatter about the fact that I was

wearing trousers, I might break out the shorts later on. Jeanette said,

can I put my burrow down? Steph said that she loves the short of scantily

clad humans in the background, we can't help but show you those, it is

a beach, not that we can't help ourselves!

Liam says, we saw Adam Peaty break the world record, he is saying that

they both swam in the same swimming club, ten years apart, Liam, you are

clutching at straws! That was in Uttoxeter, that's like saying my mum

's best friend has a milkman who once saw David Beckham.

But keep those coming in! Fi says shorts, no shoes, Panama hat,

shades, that will be the outfit sorted! I don't think we will go

down that road, but we are here or the next 16 days, plenty of outfits

on display. On BBC Four, we are at the cabana

beach here until 2am UK time. If you switch on BBC Four earlier in

the day, Ore Oduba is down at the Olympic village.

He has been out and about in the athletes village, that's not at the

Olympic Village, that is at Baja, if you go down the avenue from our base

here, about one hour 's drive here, it takes you to Baja, there are a

lot of venues there and where the athletes Olympic Village is. Before

the game started, Ore Oduba had a nose around to see how the life of

an Olympian goes about. Here we are, at the athletes village

for around 10,000 athletes from more than 200 countries around the world,

this is their first step to winning an Olympic gold, not least for our

friends... At Team GB Towers! Lets see how they are getting on?

SAMBA MUSIC PLAYS.. The rugby sevens girls are in the house, and they

seem in good spirits, why wouldn't they be? They have union Jack

deckchairs here! Mark, I love what you've done with the place. The

great thing about the Olympic Village is that you pretty much get

the bare space and it is your allotment to do what you like with.

Who let Mark Gleghorne in, give us a wave? Haven't you got work to do?

Brilliant! We will see you in a bit! Spirits here seem really good. It is

a great buzz, everyone is excited and pleased to be here. Max and

Nile, welcome to Rio, how you find it? It's great, the place is

amazing, we will get started soon, we are looking forward to it. Good

to see you, take care! What is great about the villagers if

you ever get lost, just follow the flags. There is Canada looking loud

and proud and sticking up that our black. Over here we have the

Scandinavian quarter, including Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Sweden

were very welcoming as we walked past. Here we have Portugal down low

and Slovenia up top, feeling the love. Very good.

That is what it is all about, bring on the great. Oh that is good on the

bottom. That is lovely. I am sure you are hoping that this

is a spot that will get used quite heavily by the GB contingent. Yes,

we have set it up with 12 or 15 beds and we will have a lot of treatment

during the day as we get into the games and all the sports are

encouraged to use it. This way. There is a person in here! There is

a person hiding! You never know who you will find. You never know.

Hello! OK, there they are. It is good to see you. Good to see you.

Richard, had to ask about these guys, this is your team. Your

Olympics 2016 team, it is a tight group that you have here. It is

great, we train together and complete together -- compete

together. We have been doing it for years and this is our sixth trip out

here now as an Olympic squad so we have been bonded very well and so

far we haven't had any major issues. All right, here we are. Do you mind

if I... Be my guest, it has just been changed today so it is nice and

clean. Now it is tainted. If it is anything like London, you will see a

lot of athletes flying home with these. Team GB will be taking their

bed sheets home with them, we shall see, we shall see. There you have

it, the village in all its glory and by the sound of it, according to the

athletes, Team GB is definitely ready for Rio. Thank you for that.

Welcome back to Copacabana Beach. I will enjoy saying that in the next

few weeks. Have a look at this, kids playing in the sea and huge waves

breaking behind us. Let me show you where we are. The studio is just

behind us and if we go this way it is down towards Ipanema beach. You

might remember that two years ago, our World Cup BBC studio was about

200 yards away from here. That is the thought of Copacabana which used

to be a military base and is now a place you can get nice ice creams.

The big blue building of my right shoulder there is the BBC studio and

our American friends, NBC are also in there and we will go there in the

next two weeks and we will have a really good look around. There are

always football pitches and we have kids playing throughout the day and

Copacabana Beach on the weekend is always packed and further down, a 20

minute walk from us, you might get to pick it out, add Beach Volleyball

Arena. They pack thousands in there every single night and there was

life on the sun is setting on Copacabana. It is going to be a

beautiful setting and there have been complaints about what will

happen here with the quality of water and logistics and security but

we can guarantee you that these games will look like no other, it is

a very beautiful setting the sum of the world's greatest athletes to

compete in some of those great disciplines. People have been asking

throughout the day what is the military vessel out to say? It is

always there, it is a security measure to make sure that everyone

is safe on Copacabana Beach and it is there throughout the day and it

was there during the World Cup and it has been there every day since we

have been in Rio. Talking about the great Olympians, we will bring you a

gold medal match now in the judo. Early on we were hoping that Team

GB's Ashley McKenzie could be involved in this match in the 60

kilograms category and sadly he went out in the second round. It was a

really tough draw for him because he took on the world champion Yeldov

Smetov who then won his semifinal and now he is into the gold-medal

match. He is taking on Beslan Mudranov of Russia and so we will

now find out who can win the gold in this men's judo 60 kilograms final.

This is a gold-medal time you can see two men giving nothing away. One

standing in front of the other, in blue, Yeldov Smetov doesn't want eye

contact with this man, Beslan Mudranov of Russia. He came from

nowhere and he was way back in calculations to be in this bout come

the start of the day but he is there now and Yeldov Smetov stands between

the Russian and a gold-medal. That is how he has done it, in being very

strong throughout, Yeldov Smetov is the current world champion and he

has the pedigree. I will be very surprised if this goes the full-time

because these two are on the form of their lives, they are both big

throwers and they will both go for the ippon. I think that the Russian,

Beslan Mudranov, is looking absolutely superb and Yeldov Smetov,

the world champion, what a thing for him to put that Olympic title

alongside at world title. I think the sure we are going to see some

massive techniques and I think they are going to come from different

angles. We are ready to go and to go for

gold. Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation here. Yeldov Smetov in

the blue for Kazakhstan and Beslan Mudranov in the white. He won a

silver medal in the 2007 world samba Championships, would you believe?

Before concentrating on judo and what a good decision that was to

change over. Immediately into the action and on the attack. That is

why a lot of his techniques come from different angles, Yeldov

Smetov. A few of them, sometimes they are not quite judo techniques,

they are a variation of, but he has different ways in. Beslan Mudranov,

absolutely, look at that. Has he got it? Can you imagine that? The final

of the Olympic Games, and he throws a flying armlock in and he just

manages to hold him up off the ground, smacked off, to break the

match. Magnificent, he is on his feet and the crowd come with him.

Smet doesn't gain a point but he gives his opponent an idea of where

he is coming from in this bout. These guys are twitching all over

the place here and they are only looking for ippon. Yeldov Smetov is

looking for the same techniques that two one is looking for. Beslan

Mudranov is left-handed and Yeldov Smetov is attacking with the right

hand. An inner thigh throw. One of the biggest techniques you can get

in judo will stop the referee won't like that. Yeldov Smetov backed out

of the area so Beslan Mudranov will go ahead here. He's looking down at

the ankle but he didn't roll the ankle. I can't believe you didn't

get a penalty for that. He might have thought the referee out of it

when he looked at his injured ankle, who knows? He has two games to play

there, this is the main game out in the middle. Back to attention.

Kazakhstan and Russia have to pick who is trying to be the Russia --

aggressor there. He needs to be careful there with Mudranov leaning

like that. He leaves himself vulnerable. Yes, Mudranov knows what

he wants. He has an absolute game plan here. Smetov does as well. But

when Smetov makes a mistake, he makes quite big mistakes and so he

will have to be careful because Mudranov is waiting for that one

mistake. Mudranov is 30 years of age and the voice of experience out

there. Silver medallist in the World Championships in in 2014 so this is

a little different, away from home, but in that similar rich vein of

form. A left-handed inner thigh throw right the way up the middle

again. He just needs to get the right angle for it. He needs to get

all his weight under the Smetov. Number 16 in the world coming into

this competition. Smetov is the number four in the world, the

current world champions are three seed here. You can't afford to go

into a contest with any great confidence in this level in this

poor but he would have liked his chances. He knows he has to fight

now. Yes, what a match this is. They are both looking for the right angle

of approach and they are both looking for the ippon. It is a great

match. It is an unexpected final but both of them are trying to come from

different angles and trying to throw for the ippon. Does that tactic

change with more than three minutes in? Do they keep at this? To the

end? I think they both have condition here. They are walking to

the middle to try and get in with it so they have good condition and they

will still go for it. It will not change. Quite often a lot of the

Kazakhstan or the Azerbaijan, stronger nations, they tend to last

minute the power stirred of it which tends to go but certainly not in

this match. Look at that. He is hardly breathing there, Mudranov.

Smetov similar. It all may be true, but only one of these men can walk

away with the gold-medal. Do they wait for counter attack or go on the

attack? Smetov they're attempting it. Back to the mat once more.

Something will happen soon. Coming up to the last minute, Mudranov

can't do that again. He dropped onto his back there for an attack. He

didn't break balance so he can't do it again otherwise he will get

penalised. The referee is being very, very, very lenient with the

penalties. He has got one Haider and very quick, Smetov to apologise to

his opponent, Mudranov, in the eye. Attempted tentative grip high, it

can happen easily with van hand going one way and the head of the

opponent going the other. If you get a thumb in the eye it is not a great

thing. He shakes it off and that is nice. Great respect for these two

Olympic finalist. Just a matter whether Mudranov can see his man

well enough. He has got to get back on the pace, you can't just allow

Smetov to go ahead. The Olympic final is inside its last minute now.

The scoreboard shows you there has been nothing yet. There has been

plenty happening out there and plenty still to come, really working

hard on the floor. These two are doing a lot. Mudranov their tries to

change the direction. It really is all even space. Into the last 30

seconds. They are both attacking and both going for it and no penalties.

There could possibly be now. There was only one reason he did that and

the referee lets it go. It is a gold-medal match and there is a lot

of standing were between these two and I wonder whether it will be

decided out there or not. Neither can grip up here. The Russian is

really working hard, extremely hard. Smetov gets into the ground and up

we come again. Eight seconds left and this could go into Golden score.

60 kilos final. Wow, this is a real toe to toe. They had prepared for it

but don't think they wanted. That is the end of the five minutes of this

Olympic final with out of school. So now it is golden score time, what a

way to decide the golden medal? What a way. Any score now, Giroud,

penalty, anything to do with a strangle armour lock or hold down or

anything for a score. A minor school. The first score will win

this Olympic title. It changes it so much. Imagine of the Russia is in

the white. A shoulder throw their from Smetov. Mudranov will have to

fire back. It has got to be a proper attack, don't forget you can't just

rotate without taking your opponent with you. You have got to grip.

Mudranov is looking for the pick-up. This is a test, a real test of mind

and body and both athletes are desperate not to make any mistakes,

give an opportunity to the opposition. The referee is being

very careful in staying out of this one... He has been very careful,

little bit too... The thing is, if you don't break balance, it is a

penalty. He has been very, very good. That is it! It is! The

Russians are coming! Beslan Mudranov out of nowhere takes the gold medal.

Look at that, the despair from Yeldov Smetov on the mat. That man

is ready to celebrate. Look at the cheeky grin on the face of the

30-year-old. That was absolute brilliance, the footwork that from

him. He was just waiting for that one mistake and it came in golden

score. 44 seconds into golden score and he takes Smetov over. What an

amazing foot sweep that was to take the gold-medal. Beslan Mudranov and

Russia are the gold. It's time to celebrate in the stands. The silver

medal for Kazakhstan and to Yeldov Smetov. Look at that, that's what

it's all about. It worked so hard for so long and now a gold-medal.

DAN: Is the man who managed to see off Ashley McKenzie, Yeldos Smetov,

the world champion with a bit of an upset, settling for the silver

medal. During the course of our time on BBC Four, you may have heard some

Samba magic, let's go through our makeshift TV studio, to try and

bring you some live Samba before we go to the boxing and see Joe Cordina

and Lauren Sarkodie in action. You can hear the music, that's our BBC

studio behind us, we are sharing this studio with Brazil's main

presenters, but they aren't here at this time, so we can go through

their set, let's go all the way through here. I told you that

Copacabana beach is always packed, there is tennis and boxing going on,

at night-time, it really comes to life, this is live Samba on BBC

Four. On Copacabana Beach, during the Rio Olympics, a look. -- have a

look. SAMBA MUSIC CHEERING

That was good, wasn't it? What a reception, they will be here for a

while, while we continue to listen to the Samba, we promised you

boxing, let's bring you some of that, before we get into the ring,

here are some quotes from the man from Wales who was hoping for a

wonderful Olympic Games in Rio, his name? Joe Cordina. I was a late

starter to boxing, I started when I was 16, that's quite late for a

boxer. Within 2.5 years, I had got onto the GB programme, that's quite

quick when you think about it. COMMENTATOR: Joe Cordina comes away

with a Commonwealth Games bronze medal. All I wanted to do was box,
