Day 1 BBC Four: 22.00-02.00 Olympics

against an opponent in Hakan Erseker who has literally boxed at the same

pace, not upping the tempo or changing anything. It allows Hurshid

Tojibaev to do what he wants in terms of dictating the pace, he is

in his comfort zone, he has had harder spas, and he is quality, but

has not been pushed at all this evening. Hakan Erseker, perhaps

reluctant to try to up the tempo, even though it is the Olympic Games

and a straight elimination tournament, this is not a round

robin, but he's been hit hard and often, especially during the course

of the second round, that could be why he is reluctant to close the

gap. He may not be able to close the gap on an experienced operator like

a 26-year-old Hurshid Tojibaev, but he is boxing on even terms at his

own tempo, Hurshid Tojibaev, cruising around the perimeter of the

boxing ring and engaging when he chooses.

Hurshid Tojibaev is a quality kid. He has a super whipping shot. He has

a very low guard and it is difficult to see whether punches are coming

from. That is a little better. , Hakan Erseker has to do more on

that. He is putting it under pressure. He is now on a comfort

zone and comfort mode here. You pointed out how important it is to

post oneself if you want to go deep into Olympic tournament and I think

we have just witnessed a masterclass in pacing oneself during the course

of the 60 kilograms contest. Hurshid Tojibaev hit his man hard early and

got his respect and perhaps instilled a little bit of doubt into

the mind of Hakan Erseker as well and then controlled things as he

likes for many parts of that round. He was looking busy for not doing

very much at all. Controlled it well and if you have to go four or five

times to win an Olympics, you have got to pace yourself and that is

what he has done. Tremendous stuff from Hurshid Tojibaev, he switches

downstairs with that left up to the body and the right and over the top.

His corner are very happy indeed. Yes, worthy winner.

We're just waiting for the formality of an announcement that should see

Hurshid Tojibaev progressed to the second round. Ladies and gentlemen,

the winner by a unanimous decision... Hurshid Tojibaev.

Hurshid Tojibaev of Uzbekistan, the tournament number three seed is true

to the second round of the men's lightweight tournament with the

minimum of fuss courtesy of a unanimous points decision victory

over Hakan Erseker from Qatar. Thank you, we will be back up for

the Joe Cordina fight in a few minutes. We have the Team GB in

action throughout the evening in Rio. Tell us a bit about Joe Cordina

first up. Well, they call him the Welsh Wizard

and he is the only Welshman within the Team GB boxing squad and he has

had a really good year, a couple of years, he won a bronze medal at the

2014 commonwealths and he followed up last year by winning the European

title so a really good run-up to this and he has actually said that

he would be disappointed if he doesn't come away with gold, a bold

statement, I think! Joe is fighting in the light weight decision, as we

have just seen. Later on we have the heavyweight with Lawrence Okolie

fighting for Team GB. What a story. Lawrence Okolie has just had 25

fights up until this point, that is nothing really in terms of boxing

and coming to the greatest show on Earth at the Olympics. You see him

and he is fit and he is a heavyweight and really in shape but

as a child he was at the centre used to get the lead. I don't think they

are laughing at any more. He has done very well for himself as well.

Another Team GB boxer that is very confident and will be expected to

get the later stages of the tournament. That match will be just

after 11pm UK time. We can see a union Jack just over your shoulder

and that sounds like a noisy venue. What is the support for Team GB?

Will they go wild when Lawrence Okolie and Joe Cordina come out? It

has really picked up this evening. This morning it was a bit of a damp

squib with not a lot of noise or a lot of fans in the arena but now it

has really picked up and they had a couple of Brazilians here earlier

and the home support was fantastic. So, there is Joe Cordina's opponent,

Charlie Suarez, ranked 14th in the world. Here comes the Joe Cordina

from Wales. It is his Olympic debut here in Rio 2016. He booked his

place through a really difficult qualification tournament in Turkey.

It was a European continental qualification tournament and he came

through with a second-place finish to secure his passage through but he

had some really hard fights en route to that final. He is just getting a

pat on his back as he makes his way up the steps and into the Olympic

boxing ring for the first time in what has been a glittering Korea to

this point. Charly Suarez, 28 years of age, part

of the two-man Filipino boxing team with no women on their squad. A

sporting touch of gloves. Both men are back to their

respective corners and keen to get their Olympic campaign is underway.

Here we go, the first of scheduled 33-minute rounds in this 62 grams

lightweight division between boxers from the Philippines and Great

Britain. The man wearing blue is the Great Britain's Joe Cordina, 24

years of age and his opponent is wearing red and he represents the

Philippines, and that is Charlie Suarez. Both of these men come in

with a good set of credentials. , from tournaments in their own

regions. World Series boxing experience about both of them have

acquired as well, so expect this one to be a thinking fighters contest.

They knew all about each other because the Philippines were invited

over for a multi-Nations training camp in the last few months so they

will have sparred each other and they know all about each other. Joe

is accompanying kid anyway and he would have been imagined -- like I

imagine he would have been quite keen with the draw against this

fella because I witnessed many spas with the GB against the Philippines

and GB were controlling most of the spas against them so Joe has started

very fast here in a confident mood, most definitely. He really is a

talented individual, Joe Cordina. He can box on the front foot and going

backwards. That is a cracking right hand and a cracking response. Both

men are inside the world's top 20 with Charly Suarez number 14 and Joe

Cordina number eight but neither man is seeded and that is why they are

competing in this preliminary round of action. 28 boxers make up the

lightweight tournament here in Rio. Joe Cordina is continuing to pick

his punches and move effectively, when he holds his feet and

standstill it is when he brings Suarez into the contest. He is a

very difficult man to beat in deed. Joe Cordina needs to keep an in and

out movement and work with the distance and then go back with the

right hand. In and out and con fused the opponent. If you look at Suarez

he is very flat-footed. He prefers the opponent to be standing in front

of him in trading and may be working on the inside as he fancies the

short to mid-range battle babe cannot adapt and move with a moving

fighter like Cortina, so it is important that Cortina keeps the in

and out movement going. Short of the mark on that occasion.

The Cordina radar seems to be a lot more attuned now. He was caught by a

left hand to the head and then Suarez went down the left and the

body but a very good opening round of boxing with Cordina using his

legs well and using his advantage in height and reach to good advantage

as well. I think they will be very pleased in the GB corner. The

movement was good for Cordina and occasionally he held his feet like

he did there and got caught a shot but he was in and out for most of

the round. We are just seeing the best action from Suarez but Cordina

came back with his own good work there. If you have not seen Olympic

boxing since London 2012, it is no longer computer scoring and it is a

ten point system in effect and judge a as gone for Suarez and B and C

favoured Cordina. The first round is split to live in favour of the

British representative. Five judges are seated ringside and three of

them are selected randomly without their knowledge prior to the opening

bout and their scores are used to determine the contest. Into the

second round we go. The man wearing red, Charly Suarez of the

Philippines took the opening round for judge a, 10-9, whereas B and C

favoured the eye-catching work of the man in blue. Make no mistake, it

was a competitive opening round with a sneaky right hand from Suarez. If

there is a criticism, and I am loath to criticise any boxer, but

sometimes the concentration and workrate from Joe Cordina can dip

and that is when he can bring opponents back into contest. It is

vital that he keeps his concentration of workrate at optimal

level throughout this opening bout in the lightweight tournament. Yes,

he is experienced enough now to anticipate a tempo change from his

opponent and that is what the Philippine caller would have said to

their man. He has lost the first round and you have to up the

workrate. For the first 30 seconds Suarez came out and he has done some

better work and Cordina has to up the tempo and adjust the feet and

bring his opponent onto the shots but not hold the feet. Hit him as he

is coming and then move off to the side and go again and keep the

movement. There you go, you you can see him adjust his feet as he lands

two shots. That is better for Joe Cordina. He cannot afford to switch

off. Codeine is only 24 years of age and he has participated in three

World Championship tournaments. -- Cordina. He is 60 kilograms and

always tends to be on the receiving end of very difficult draws, coming

up against top boys from around the world, but he has acquired heaps of

experience. Just attention will be required to the bootstrap of his

right boot. To tell you a little bit about him, Joe Cordina is a right

character. He is the clown of the group. He is a great impersonator

and he can take off anyone. He is very talented. He makes everyone

laughed, but he has to concentrate tonight. He just got caught by a

right hand as the action resumed once the bootlace was adjusted.

Suarez turned momentarily to the southpaw stance, coming from the

Philippines it is perhaps unsurprising, as Cordina got through

without good right hand and an Ali shuffle from Charly Suarez, coming

from the Philippines it is unsurprising that his idol is Manny

Pat the Alps, he also admires George Foreman and Evander Holyfield and

they had glittering Olympic careers as well. Evander Holyfield was in

the first Olympic Games where head guards were introduced. George

Foreman romped his way to heavyweight gold before celebrating

by pulling out a tiny American flag. Another single shot success from

Suarez. Suarez is just waiting on the outside and when Cordina LAN two

shots on the way out occasion he gets caught so he has to keep the

guard up a little higher as he is moving away. He will probably move

out of the side and if he goes up on a straight line he might get caught

by this fella. Codeine scored with a wonderful right hand. The two of

them are boxing with their hands down, tempting of fainting and

teasing and trying to draw a lead of which they can encounter but a very

good second round of boxing with very impressive adjustments made by

Charly Suarez during the course of that round. That round was a lot

closer with Suarez having a bit of success there. That is what they

will be saying to him. He upped the tempo at the start when he had a bit

of success with Cordina. He will have to do a bit better in this

round. A good right hand there from Suarez. Waited for Cordina to be

moving away from him and then he catches him again there with a good

shot. Remember the first round was split with judge a favouring Suarez

but B and C favoured Cordina. This time B and C favoured Suarez and C

favoured Cordina. Perhaps that is a fair reflection of the contest we

have witnessed until this point. Into the third and final round, and

it's Joe Cordina, representing Great Britain, part of it, a 12 strong UK

boxing team, larger than what they had in London, all ten male weight

classes are filled with boxers, two out of three women's weight classes,

the largest team since Los Angeles 1984, their lightweight

representative Joe Cordina is in with the experienced and equally

talented offering in Charly Suarez, switching his feet and bustling, a

busy boxer. In this contest, intriguingly poised, on a knife edge

coming into this third and final round. That was a super shot from

Cordina, the right hook on the inside, with a cracking punch. Now

he has two concentrate. You know that your man is coming for you, he

has his bit between his teeth, concentration levels are high,

hitting him as he comes, then move off to the side, that's the order of

the day for Joe quantity that in this match now. -- Joe Cordina.

Great Olympians over the years, with Joe Selby and Evans in London 2012

who came away with a silver, that is who Cordina is trying to emulate, in

his efforts to make the medal podium.

Ralph Evans, and Fred Evans from London 2012. It is a tightly and

closely run contest beyond the point of this third and final round, one

would expect a grandstand finish from either boxer could be

significant in determining the outcome of this bout.

The better quality coming from Cordina here, he has to do more of

it, satisfying those judges that he is not just try to make this

contest, he has to do a bit more now, Cordina, in and out, step on

the gas a bit. He is against an opponent who is not as talented but

determined, which is always dangerous. The Philippines came here

with only one boxing coach for their two-man team. They will be drafting

in Kevin Smith, the former consultant to the Philippines, the

man from Merseyside, the full-time coach of Australia but do not be

surprised if you see him helping out with the Philippines boxing team if

they progress. Joe Cordina is focused and really firing sharply

with his right hand. A wonderful left hand from the man in blue. A

simple shot and a simple jab, a lovely right hook on the inside,

quality work from Cordina, pushing his opponent back occasionally with

those kinds of shots. Keeping the judges happy. There is the ten

second clap, a good hand to be solar plexus from Cordina, keeping his

right hand cocked, southpaw momentarily. Fainting and fidgeting.

Concluding what has been a high-quality 60 kilograms

lightweight contest, both men think that they've done enough, Joe

Cordina pumps his right fist to the crowd in attendance here at the

Pavilion in Rio Centre. Remember, it was a very intriguingly poised

coming into the third and final round.

Big Fraser Clark is supporting the team, one of the best super

heavyweights in the world. But it is Joe Joyce who got it here in Rio

2016. The better quality work came from Cordina that, I think I will be

surprised if this goes against him. I think Cordina has done enough to

win, switched off in the second but he won in the third for me, so he

should get it... Nervous moments for both of the boxes now. But we have

just witnessed a wonderful bout, this is taking a while to make its

way up to the public address announcer which means we could head

for a split decision. The boxes will be replaying the contest in their

minds now, when did I catch him? Have I done enough? -- the boxes

will be replaying the contest in their minds. Ladies and gentlemen,

the winner by split decision... Joe Cordina. Joe Cordina has his

hand raised on a split decision victory. Over the 14th ranked boxer

in the world, Charlier -- Charly Suarez. It is a keenly

contested a fair, big Fraser Clark cheering on his team-mate, and Joe

Cordina takes a bow, acknowledging all sides of the arena here at

Pavilion six in Rio Centre. Let's have a look at how he did it...

It's a clear 3-point margin advantage, Judge see clearly

favoured the work of Cordina, but 2-1, Joe Cordina is through to the

second round of the men's 60 kilograms lightweight tournament

where he will face the tournament number five seed -- Judge C. He will

face Hurshid Tojibaev, a wonderful performance, digging it out when

necessary, going through to the second round of the men's 60

kilograms lightweight tournament. Overall, I think it was a good

performance from Claudine, he fell apart in the second round, I think

mentally, just letting it slip a little -- Joe Cordina. I think the

better quality work definitely in that last round got him over the

line, he has got the first under his belt, get those nerves out of the

way. He goes to retrieve the second round of the men's 60 kilograms

lightweight tournament, he has to win five contests if he hopes to

claim the Olympic Golf Course but he has done the first part of his

mission by winning his opening contest, and he goes through to the

second round where he will face Hurshid Tojibaev of Uzbekistan, the

tournament's number five seed. DAN: We will be back to the box and

later, thank you to Richie and Ron, we will hear Joe Cordina's reaction

to making it through to the second round, good work seeing of Charly

Suarez. You may be settling into evening Olympics, there's a huge

offering of Olympic coverage on the BBC over the next 16 days, and it's

only day one! You might see quite a where you think, you know, I want to

have a go at that! That is what the Olympics are all

about. Nine of the ten athletes in a poll said that they had been

inspired to get involved in an Olympic discipline by watching the

Olympics themselves. If you are at home tonight, or over the course of

the next two weeks you think, I want to go... The BBC Get Inspired can

hopefully cater for you, and this could be the two weeks where you

that inspiration... Get Inspired is BBC Sport's campaign to get active.

It is on the website and you can find inspirational stories

from people like you, as well as hints, tips and 70

practical guides to help you give something a go.

There is an activity finder to help you find something to try near you.

You can ask questions through the social media accounts

and maybe you can inspire someone else to give something a try.

Get up, get inspired, and get active.

Joe Cordina just put in an inspirational performance, he is

with Jess. How did you find that experience? It was amazing. With all

of these people, it's only going to get bigger, the crowd. I cannot wait

to find again -- fight again! What did you think of your performance? I

thought I executed well, you come inswinging. For me, I had to step

back and hit him as he came in, and put him under pressure. I thought I

executed perfectly. You seemed calm but it was a split decision? The

judges had seen it that way. I thought either Crewe all three

rounds, it is what it is, they are there to judge and I am there to

box. I got the win, that is the main thing. You said before the

tournament the gold medal was your aim, after that, are you still

confident? Yes, my first fight is always the shaky one in every

tournament, I look to improve in every fight, the gold is there for

the taking. You've seen your next opponent, the fifth seed from

Uzbekistan, how will you go about preparing for him? The same as

anyone else, I just box to my advantages, I saw a video of him

boxing, that was on Monday or Tuesday, I will look at the video

and see what I can do to beat him. And move on. It is tough, but I'm

more than capable of beating him, I think. A brilliant fight, good luck

for the next round. DAN: Plenty more boxing coming up

for you on BBC Four, even tonight, we have Lawrence Okolie going for

Team GB in the heavyweights. Ronnie and Ron will be very busy,

boxing is an everyday of these Olympic Games, every single one of

the 16 days, we will be showing you boxing here on BBC Four.

Plenty more sport to watch over the course of the evening, let's show

you what is available at the moment... On the Red Button, beach

volleyball, about 20 minutes walk away down Copacabana beach from us.

We have live beach volleyball later. Thank you for all of your messages

coming in, asking when we are showing it to I can guarantee there

will be some late! Also available, the rugby sevens,

some of that has been on BBC One tonight, and that will continue. We

will show you Australia playing Fiji on BBC Four. We are with you until

2am every night on BBC Four. I think it is high time that we tell you

what you can watch and where you can watch it.

Here is your guide to the Olympics on the TV, laptop, online, via the

this is our base on Copacabana beach, will it looks glorious, we

had boxing, football, they are now fishing. Can you see that? I told

you earlier how busy it is at Copacabana beach, I don't think

fishing is yet an Olympic event, it probably will be an future!

They are broadening things every time. It is always busy, behind us

there is general traffic up the avenue Atlantique.

It was packed earlier, this is where the road race started and then aged.

Great hopes for Team GB of Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas perhaps come

on home with a medal but unfortunately none of them managed

to be in the top three, Geraint Thomas crashed in the final descent

and Chris Froome finished outside of the top ten.

Belgian break... Icon from under his surname, he managed to win the gold

medal -- I cannot remember his surname.

It is not in my book, but Belgian one the road race.

In four days, Chris Froome has the chance to win the time trial, that

is what Bradley Wiggins managed to four years ago.

He went to the Olympics having won the Tour de France, that is winning

gold in the time trial, and it was Greg frame... Chris Froome... Greg!

Chris Froome won the bronze medal in that time trial four years ago, can

he win the gold this time around? Four days away.

Let's bring you some football live on BBC Four. Later we have the USA

taking on France, they are the third ranked side in the world at the

moment, but there's a back story to hope Solo, the American goalkeeper

Beale doing up to her 200th cab, and in the build-up to the Olympic

tournament, she got in a spot of bother for putting these pictures on

Instagram -- Hope Solo. It was all about the Zika virus, she had her

anti-mosquitoes paraphernalia. This is what happened when they played

New Zealand in the opening game on Wednesday... A loud cry of "Zika"

when she kicked the ball. Her next cap is against France, ranked third

in the world, they won beating Colombia 4-0, that is in group G,

live commentary picking up in a moment, that is taking place in Belo

Horizonte, we had a gold a couple of moments ago, let's bring in our

commentator. Here is Dwayne. And opportunity, Megan Brian had the

chance. Eventually bundled in. United States have opened the

scoring. It has come late but come through their inspirational cap and,

Charlie Lloyd. It is a team effort, the pressure has been building and

it has been coming. The United States fans celebrate, they lead the

third best side in the world by 1-0. It has been a long time coming.

Fired in a thunderous effort. There are two clean-up was the cap to,

Carly Lloyd. -- captain. USA lead France by 1-0, 15 minutes to go. We

will join live commentary. United States taking on France.

A foul. Needs to be careful here. Slightly frustrated.

France double the number of fouls than the United States have

committed. Deep ball in. Head on the end of it. She cannot correct this

effort. Less than 15 minutes for France to

find an equaliser. United States looking for another 3-pointer and

the 13 successive -- 13 successive victory. London 2012, very

successful year for the women's team from the United States in terms of

their impressive runs at tournaments. It was the first time

that they had won every single one of their matches. They lost the odd

group game on their way previously. They had drawn a couple as well.

There is the new player on. Delie. Hope Solo gets it away and it is

cleared by O'Hara. That was down low and to her right. Hope Solo very

tall and so were dangerous. It skipped off the surface and it was

denied. 64th international goal. Here is the goal again, Lloyd,

having bumped it home after Heath's effort came off the woodwork.

Ricocheted kindly for Carly Lloyd and the disbelief from the French

player. A short while after that, the header from Delie been saved by

Hope Solo. He has gone into an attacking position since the

substitution. -- Heath. Heath. Ask Alex Morgan to chase but

that was a little too strong once again. Alex Morgan. Another player

who is scoring a goal more than every two Games for the United

States. -- matches. 12 goals in 14 matches so far. Clearly one of the

strikes against New Zealand in their opening game. Would you believe it?

France agonisingly close. That must have been a hard in your throat

moment, for the United States players, they look shell-shocked.

Hope Solo answers it away. The height advantage is fairly

significant -- punches it away. A little tumble, a second yellow card

in the match. Ten minutes to play, France are down by one and Krieger,

a short while ago, having hit the side netting,

... Taking the set piece. The United States happy to count down the

clock. Lovely. Until the shot. Alex Morgan

thought she would try her luck from a little way out. Slightly

overzealous. She has got the ability to create those opportunities during

a match and she has dazzled before a long-range strike. -- with a

long-range strike. She is a little frustrated, waiting for a double

substitution. Carly Lloyd looking around. Abily has been taken off for

France. Carly Lloyd, the captain has been

taken of. Looking a little questioningly at her coat was Carly

Lloyd but eventually left the field of play. France are on the attack.

Ball in, scrambling and Hope Solo takes command. Smothers the ball,

clutches onto it for dear life. There would have been questions

asked if France had scored from that set piece.

Ball in, she gets a head on this one but it is split to wave. -- it is

flicked it away. Confirmation of the substitution for

flam -- France. Little run here, the United States

again searching for a second goal, a cushioning goal, any opportunity to

run down the clock. Cut back. Fuste away. Five minutes

to play and it is still not United States having it all their own way.

Five minutes to play. Over. That is that. She was unable to keep up ball

in play. -- Delie was unable to keep that all in play. She wants to see

the end of this game. A good defender. Did not make an appearance

inside the opening game. She will be happy to have another international

appearance behind. Makes way. -- Delie makes way.

Dangerous player, someone who has the ability to change the match.

Ball in, too many players wanting it and in the end it is a collision

tween the two substitutes. -- between.

Great chance for France again. Plenty of possibility and ultimately

no reward, all Harrer licks that all to safety. -- Kelli O'Hara. The

United States have not been convincing in this match overall

that they could finish it off here. She claims that Sinn and sees this

ball clear. Verging on desperation now rather than just urgency from

France in the closing stages of this game.

A flick over the top. She is a PSG striker who will win the corner for

France. There is the coach. Calling for instructions. Watching rather

anxiously at the closing stages of this tie.

Hits the post. Another corner has been called. It might have been a

goal kick, but in the penultimate minute of this tie, France have a

set piece opportunity. Solo, fuming at her defenders. France for the set

piece again. Some jersey tugging going on, and France don't get away

with it. Third and final substitution here. Another Chicago

red stars player is going to make her way on here. Christen Press

comes on. Meghan Klingenberg makes her way off.

Well, she had nine minutes off the bench in her first game, Christen

Press. She only has added time virtually to play in this match. And

there is not going to be a significant amount of that either.

She is a part of the United States Olympic squad, she has an

opportunity to win an Olympic medal in this tournament, looking for

successive victory is here. The goalkeeper is off line, Alex Morgan

has beat in two French players, looks to send it back to anybody.

Anybody who is rushing forward to the French goal to cap it into the

open net. The United States lead France by Carli Lloyd's goal. And

France are looking for a favourite come from behind draw, desperate for

an equaliser here. Morgan back again. Wins the free

kick. A little theatrical in her reaction. Just take you to wildly at

the referee, trying to communicate has much. The Uruguayan referee,

Claudio Paredes, she has been convincing and commanding in her

calls. -- Claudia Peres. What has she got? Looking up at the

scoreboard. Calling for it, once possession,

Henry got a touch. Continues on her way. The free kick goes the way of

the United States. Again, Henry, battling away, a tenacious

character. Closing stages. O'Hara says anywhere

will do. 30 odd seconds of added time remaining. The United States

holding on for what will be a record 13th successive victory in Olympic

football tournament history in the women's draw.

That is the end of it. United States extend their record in women's

Olympic football tournament is the 13th successive victory is now,

going back to Beijing 2008. Carli Lloyd's goal the difference between

the sides. It took over an hour to come. Tobin Heath set it up, would

work out, and ultimately Carli Lloyd with a critical goal for her nation

takes her up to 90 international goals and is just ten away from

becoming only the sixth woman in United States football history to

reach the magical century of goals. For the United States as a team,

though, another victory for Hope Solo on an individual note, heard

200 international appearance ends with her keeping her 102nd clean

sheet and helping the United States to their 153rd victory in a match in

which she has played. She will undoubtedly go down as one of the

world's greatest players, the first ever goalkeeper, male or female, to

reach 200 international appearances. And she has done it in Belo

Horizonte at the Olympic Games, Hope Solo, and she will celebrate long

and hard with her team-mates. There is much to be done yet in the

women's football tournament, but they now have a pronominal platform

from which to launch the campaign for golf. Two victories from two

matches. For France, it will be back to the drawing board, but they have

won group stage match to come, that is against New Zealand. As a match

that will replace the current of the United States taking on Columbia in

their final group match. Both however will be confident of

advancing to the knockout stages of this competition. France had their

moment of domination in this game. United States, they were hardly

convincing. But today perhaps they will also that the result against

the third best team in the world was more important than the performance.

# Witness the fitness... # On hope, one quest. # Witness the fitness...

# On hope, one quest. -- one hope. STUDIO: Here are our headlines on

day one of the Olympics. Mr Beattie, who you just all about, is the top

man. He beat that world record -- Mr Peaty breaks the world record. Emma

Watson has been in action today. She took three sets to make the second

round of the tennis. Team GB's, we saw him live on BBC Four, started

his first Olympics with a win in the lightweight boxing. Everybody knows

his name, Craig from other wins the men's road race. But the first goal

of the games actually went to Ginny Thrasher, she is only 19, that was

in the ten metres air rifle for the women earlier on today, the first

gold medal of the games when the team USA. And just to inform you

that Adam Beattie and Ross burden will be back in the poll -- Adam

Peaty. At around about 3am, they will be back in the pool. You can

see that live on BBC One with Jason Mohammed. We are on air on BBC Four

until 2am UK time. This is a bit of a timetable of what you can see over

the next few hours. We are going to bring you some live Rugby sevens,

Australia against Fiji. That is coming in a few moments' time. We

will be back in the Riocentro. More men's boxing. The heavyweight

preliminaries. Lawrence Okolie of Team GB going in there. Table tennis

is coming up with Paul drinkable. We have been promising but some beach

for. You can see the mites on Copacabana. -- beach volleyball --

you can see the lights. In addition to that we have got some judo on the

Red Button as well. Also some weightlifting. All these sports

available, whatever takes your fancy you can find it anywhere on the BBC.

And the boxing, the men's lightweight preliminaries, they are

like heavy at the moment, 81 kilograms. You can find that on the

website or via the BBC sport app. So much to keep you entertained over

the next 16 days. We will be back in the boxing to see Lawrence Okolie a

little bit later on. We're going to head to the rugby sevens now. It has

been the first day of the Olympics and the first day of the Olympic

competition. Great Britain are hopeful of a medal in the rugby

sevens. It has been the women's sport today, the favourite of

Australia, they have been professional since it was announced

the sport would be included in the game. The Aussies or import a. The

top three teams go to the quarterfinals plus the two best

third-place side -- pool A. Fiji has a great love of this game. Let's

joint Eddie Butler and Sir Clive Woodward for commentary on this one.

COMMENTATOR: It is the last Game of the Day, the only clash of the day

between two Maxine... Teams that are unbeaten after one round. Fiji beat

the United States to kick against Australia. Australia were in periods

in their victory over Colombia earlier. Australia very much

favourites. Australia get the penalty. Charlotte Caslick. She is

with the pass. Chloe Dalton, and look for the forward pass, it will

not be given. It is going for Emilee Cherry. There I must say, the past

did look slightly forward going. Wonderful skills, a great try by the

Australian women. Emilee Cherry, looking very, very special. Great

pass by Catholic mayor. That is good. -- great pass by Catholic. The

ball was pointing forward -- I Charlotte Caslick. It was not given,

these things happen. A great start by Australia. Out of all the teams,

the Australian team keeps the width of the whole field. There is always

a player on either side in that first few seconds in this game. That

is so hard to defend because they have got the passing skills to get

the players left or right. They really play with the width, this

Australian team, because they have got great passes. Chloe Dalton, oh,

different, kicking the ball together. Straight down towards the

Fijian goal-line. Now then, if they can get the ball away, oh, that is

brilliant. To get out of their 22, there is a long way to go yet, but

so far, so very good. And then they spoil it. Penalty in front the

knock-on. Never mind, just a sign of the danger that comes with all

Fijian sides. Australia prepare to slow it all down. You can go

backwards and then speed, check the pace through Charlotte Caslick. Good

pressure by Fiji, and from an offside position. Sara Cox of

Britain is the referee. Charlie Williams charging dock. -- charging

up. Another advantage to Australia. Cherry.

On the outside for the try. Seriously great finish. They have

played this game quicker. They have always got the width for the try.

That was a wonderful finish by Emma Tonegato. The passing skill that we

have seen. There are, very special. Very special. They play with great

with, greater than any other team in the tournament -- great width.

This is Chloe Dalton, who has been the kicker of the day. Not that

time. Again, it came from a Fiji and error, a Fijian knock-on. You can't

beat these top teams if you are going to give silly possessions

away. The Fijians have got to keep hold of the ball and make the

Australian defence. -- make the Australians defend.

Well taken by Litia Naiqato. A bit of trouble, but they get it away.

There is a chance here of acceleration. But another careless

mistake, and they take over. Charlotte Parry.

Rebecca stops Australia in their tracks. Absolute poetry. Charlotte,

Balint. Their balance, therefore work,, what a

wonderful player -- there are fit work. -- there are footwork. They

have got to hold the ball to have any chance of beating that.

Takes the restart. Chloe Dalton. She will pick her spot and she will not

be far off. I gain they go long. -- again. They have decided that they

are going to pen CG straight that in their 22. -- CG. -- Fiji. Fiji

cannot handle the pressure from the Australian defence. Better

scrummage, that of a scramble for Australia. When they have

possession, that is what really counts. It goes to Green. Australia

should have the throw. I have a gone first from Australia, I will go

scrum, Fiji. Not gone first. -- not on.

Very powerful, Australia. It has been the tale of the first half that

Fiji will have to start from very deep, five metres from their own

line. Quick free kick, grow. Awkwardly taken. -- kick. A bit too

quick. Let us go, please. Fiji, Fiji! Well, let us see what comes of

this, nothing so far, Green spins and delivers a superb pass. Recovers

to play scrum-half, Shannon Parry says enough is enough, let us take a

break, 19-0, Australia lead at half-time. That was a try. Not quite

sure what that was all about. I really do not understand why Shannon

Parry proved the ball into the beautiful Brazilian sky. -- kick.

Maybe they see that they are in full control of this game going into

tomorrow. They have the easiest task of all

the teams, really. All the teams have a major clash on their hands.

They look so confident. All are happy to stand in the wide channels.

You have to watch these tries. The one player who does not take to the

wide channel is Charlotte Caslick who takes everything down the middle

of the park. Her sweeping, allows her to cut the gap. Give her one on

one and she will score. Let us hope that Fiji can find on in here. They

are going OK, 19-0 is not beyond them.

In the first game, Louise for Fiji was so good as. She went off injured

but she is playing now, number 11. She was such an important character

for Fiji and I wonder if she is fully fit. Here is the restart.

Given away again, possession for Australia and they build through

Dalton and Charlotte Caslick. Green. Hops out of one, dances out of

another. Those two ground. Penalty advantageous being played, not gone

advantage. -- advantage -- knock-on. Green took exception to that. A very

physical challenge on her. Not gone is the end result, Australian ball.

-- not on. -- knock-on. Australia through Emily Chery.

Shannon Parry. Australia less in periods when it is tight and

physical. Even Charlotte Caslick throws it at a little untidy and

Australia are still in possession. Charlene Williams, the captain.

Dalton. That was not a great pass from the Australians. You can see

the pressure, their Fiji women where they are, they can make stakes as

well. -- they can make this state. -- mistake.

Australia are back in possession. Green those on the outside. -- green

is on the outside. They might check this.

She has been very impressive, she has had a lot of the ball, that took

some finishing. She was born in Fiji and only started playing the game

three years ago, if you have skill and talent, Rugby sevens will suit

you. She is now the star of the best team in the world. No conversion.

The result is not in doubt now, Australia will go into the match

against the USA as the outstanding team in their group.

She got hands to that. Australia ball, though. Back out into the

three quarters. Charlotte Caslick picks the throw. Scrum-half.

Overthrown. Away come Fiji. Wide. On the switch. Rebecca. Penalty to

Australia and Fiji have to get back quickly. They take the ball so

quickly. Everything goes so quickly. Williams delivers. Charlotte

Caslick. Stand through. And the second one, did she score? Is it?

Any rug the team should watch that again -- any rugby team. Try

awarded. Watching Charlotte Caslick kick the ball, it was a brilliant

kick. Wonderful cake. That took a lot of skill. The try comes from

this. -- kick. That is great skills from Emma Tonegato. The try is

given. We are going to leave the rugby sevens because we promised you

live boxing and and we are moving to the

boxing. That is the man that Lawrence Okolie

will have to overcome. The Polish contender. Lawrence Okolie has 25

fights under his belt coming into real 2016. He is about to hear his

name announced by the public address announcer. He gets himself familiar

under the lights of the Olympic boxing ring. Very confident

character indeed, Lawrence Okolie, very experienced. Does not give

anyone respect. He is tall, rangy and he is difficult to beat.

The man wearing red has made a great start. Lawrence Okolie, 23 years old

and his opponent wearing blue is from Poland. Both of these men

competing in their first Olympic Games. He scored with a good right

uppercut. He has made a blistering start here,

scoring with the right-hand and Igor Jakubowski is under pressure early.

Tremendous start from Lawrence Okolie. He is using his jab and

measuring the distance before he is throwing that right-hand, sensible

start, fast out of the blocks, Lawrence Okolie. Igor Jakubowski has

a real problem, when he closes that gap down, right uppercut comes his

way so Lawrence Okolie can box long but he can shorten it with that

right uppercut. The problem for the Polish boxer.

Okolie is a confident character, which has been alluded to, as he

gets in his grave, a very difficult man to beat indeed. He knows just

about every shot in the book. But when that left jab gets working, it

is long and straight and strong. It can serve as an effective deterrent

to prevent boxers trying to get inside him. Started brightly here,

Jakubowski trying to land single shots of his own. Just got to steady

up a little bit, Lawrence Okolie. He wants to keep the point is accurate.

If he misses the target, that will give just the Polisky a chance to

come back with an overhand right. -- Jakubowski. He has got to watch out,

he has got to be accurate with the jab and box at range. If he misses

the target with the lead hand, that will give Jakubowski a chance to

land the right-hand counter. Okolie, a student at East London University,

where he is studying psychosocial or do. -- psychosocial orgies. He has

deferred his studies until next year -- he is studying psychology and

social G. Just backed off a little bit. The effect of the right hand.

Momentarily he felt that. You can just tell when a boxer has hurt a

little bit. I think dockable ski was there. Back with the left- right

combination, just short of the mark on that occasion. A very good

opening round of boxing on the Olympic debut of Lawrence Okolie.

Jakubowski is in the blue corner. But over in the red corner, the GB

coaches will be quite happy with the work of their man. That was a very

dominant round of boxing and Lawrence Okolie. Tremendous work at

range. Oxime behind that jab, a sensible start. Fast tempo -- boxing

behind that jab. Keeping his opponent at bay. The scores are very

positive for Okolie. Now we should see him. That is a great opening,

for much and unexperienced international boxer, Lawrence Okolie

--. An inexperienced boxer. Plenty of support and attendance for

Lawrence Okolie. He prepares to once the bell for the second round. -- to

once the bell. A left hook followed a right-hand, forcing Jakubowski to

touch down. The referee says that was a slip, he may well have lost

his footing but he took a couple of shots from the man in red. Okolie on

the rampage once more. Just got to steady himself here, Lawrence

Okolie, landing big as -- bigot shots. It was a definite punch that

caused the knockdown, but Okolie has the steady himself. -- Aegerter

shots. That will give Jakubowski a chance to work on the inside. It is

good work for Okolie. He has got to keep it going and maintain the gap

between himself and his opponent. Four years ago, Lawrence Okolie was

working at a well-known fast food burger chain. He saw Anthony Joshua

win Olympic gold. And then he took himself down to the boxing gym in an

effort to shift some weight, he was diagnosed as clinically obese and

his weight had ballooned up to 120 kilograms. And that is when he

discovered his fantastic powered in the boxing ring. And after just 23

bouts in a first, 25 bouts before Rio because he competed in the World

Series boxing as well -- in a vest. He finds himself in the opening

round of the Olympic boxing tournament, boxing very effectively

indeed against the experience Jakubowski. He is boxing very well,

but making the odd array here and there, allowing Jakubowski to get a

bit closer. Jakubowski is taking all the shots on the bows, he knows he

cannot break the gap and the distance down, she is edging up --

on the elbows. He is looking for a single shot, maybe over the top. If

Lawrence Okolie follows shot or misses the target, that is what

here's hoping, to land one. He is still dangerous, the poll. He is

powerful, he is looking for a shot that may stop or knock Okolie out,

that is what here's hoping for. Reigning European Championship

silver medallist, Jakubowski. He won the EU European title. A good left

hand, the man in blue. He comes with a glittering set of credentials,

nine Time national championship gold medallist between 2008 and 2014.

Participating twice in a World Championships as well. Heaps of

experience, compared to the still not as Lawrence Okolie. Okolie's

talent is such and his desire of confidence -- the still not as

Okolie. He has been able to make it through to the limbic tournament

after just 25 contests -- novice. Feeling the pace slightly, Okolie,

starting quick remember. They fit indeed. Another good round for

Okolie, allowing duck ball skewed comeback in slightly. -- allowing

the costly. He has forced Jakubowski to touch

down, but he was not ruled. That was a tremendous shot that from Okolie.

The start of the round. Look at the distance and leveraged that he gets

there. That is his strength, when he is boxing at distance behind that

left and straight right hand. Gary Hale in that corner. Let's look

at the scores. Kohli has got it, he is very comfortable, he has the

theatre -- Okolie. -- he has to see it out now.

Into the third and final round we go. The man wearing red is Lawrence

Okolie of Great Britain, the 23-year-old from East London finds

himself in a pretty commanding position having taken the opening

two rounds across the board from all three judges. Throughout this

opening day of competition, he hopes to be crowned Olympic champion, you

are going to have to go five times during the course of the tournament.

So Okolie would do well to pace himself here. Ensure that he doesn't

walk into anything silly or pick up an injury that could curtail his

progress, because he is on the cusp of progressing through to the second

round here. And he has built up a 20.20 lead from all three scoring

judges. We couldn't hear what was said in the corner from Lawrence

Okolie, but I think they are saying, get back to your boxing, keep the

distance and get back behind jab, see the contest. When you are up

against a Polish boxer, they are dangerous, they are well school,

they produced great champions over the years, Poland. This fella will

be dangerous right to the very last second, that is where Okolie has got

to keep him concentration levels very high and boxed sensibly and

keep the distance and the gap. He came through a really tough route of

qualification, Jakubowski. He won the global Olympic of occasion event

in Baku, Azerbaijan. He beat Rio Castillo of Ecuador, a hard-fought

affair. He will continue to compete right up until the last, when he

perhaps knows, the way that boxers do know, that he is trailing in this

contest. He is looking to land something big and explosive to put

Okolie on the compass and out of the contest. Good right-hand from Okolie

-- on the canvas. Just walked back with his right leg as he handed it.

Perhaps looking to feel the pace little bit now, Lawrence Okolie.

Most important punch from Okolie is the jab, keep the distance, measure

the gap, doesn't need to overreach with the right hand. That is what

the kebab ski will one. His most important shot most definitely is

the right hand over the top -- Jakubowski. He has the get his feet

in the position to land that shot, Jakubowski, that is when he walks

onto the big shots from Okolie. Difficult man to get to, Okolie, he

uses his range very well. Inside the final 30 seconds now, concentration

going to be absolutely key for Okolie to assure that he doesn't

walk onto anything silly from his point of view. Jakubowski having

more success, closing the distance, as perhaps Okolie begins to 30, his

jab not as sharp as it was. There is the ten second club. Surely we will

hear the final bell. -- clap. It should sue Lawrence Okolie get

through to the second round. A strong finish by Jakubowski. But the

two rounds of insurance built up by Okolie in rounds one and two should

be enough to see him crowned the victor and go through to the second

round of the 91 kilograms heavyweight one. A good performance

from Okolie throughout the three rounds. He let it slip a little bit

in the last round because he was feeling the pace little bit, but

nevertheless, a great start to the contest for Okolie. He is seen now

the box sensibly and he has learnt a lot from that. He has done well,

there. Once we get the announcement, which we assume will declare Okolie

as the winner in the second round of the tournament number two seed

awaits. Those two men met earlier in the summer, and his opponent

prevailed on a first round stoppage in World Series boxing at the five

round competition, where boxers compete for their respective

nations. That is the man who awaits in round number two. Okolie and

Jakubowski embrace. Now let's go to the public address announcer and get

the official announcement. CHEERING

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner... Lawrence Okolie.

COMMENTATOR: Lawrence Okolie through to the second round of the

heavyweight Olympic tournament here in Rio 2016, acknowledging the

support he is receiving from the crowd. In that second round he will

meet the tournament number two seed, the reigning World Championship

silver medallist and Olympia from 2012, the immensely talented Cuban

boxer. STUDIO: Thank you, Ron. While we

wait for Lawrence Okolie to make his way for a post-bout interview, let's

wander around Copacabana in our Brazilian friends are over there

enjoying themselves at beach bars, they are grooving away. This is a

familiar sight right up and I'm Copacabana. They are singing in the

early hours of the morning here -- up and down Copacabana. They are

enjoying themselves with dancing and live music and cocktails. As we

turned around this way,... Well, this is a rather large tractor

collecting bins as well. Good evening, sir, this is a very

important job, because when there are thousands of people on the

beach, you know how busy it gets during the day, there is a gentleman

fishing. Fishing is not an Olympic sport. Let's see, this could go

hurriedly wrong. Good evening, what is your name, surprise have you

caught anything? Can you show them, are they in the bag that? Can you

show us? They don't look like the biggest fish I have ever seen. And

what are they called? The name of the fish? They are ten fish. What

are they called? Shova. Life fishing, what more could you want!

Let's look around here -- Lyth fishing. We are at one end of cocoa

cabana. We can walk for 20, 25 minutes, even half an hour where

Sugarloaf Mountain is. We're not going to do that, not life walking

on BBC Four! Down here is the BBC One studio, when Jason Mohammed is

going to be taking you through the night throughout the course of the

two weeks. If we were to walk about 20 minutes down here we would get to

the Beach Volleyball Arena. That is where we are going to be shortly on

BBC Four. We will show you life Beach Volleyball Arena later on.

Sugarloaf is at the end. This is one of the sporting hubs at Rio 2016. We

have the Olympic Park, and we have got Copacabana and the Deodoro.

Debbie cabana is not only home to the beach bully or, it is also home

to the road race -- Copacabana. -- Beach boy. Tomorrow it is the

opportunity for Lizzie Armitstead to have a go, the women's road race is

also going to take place right here on pleb cabana. We will cover that

on and BBC Four as well. We have 16 days of full Olympic coverage for

you. BBC One and BBC for our main live channels, and also we have got

coverage throughout the website via the BBC sport ab. Whatever sport you

would like to watch over the course of the Rio Olympics you can find it

somewhere on the BBC. . We will hear from Lawrence Okolie very shortly,

after his victory he is in to the second round of the boxing.

We want you to feel inspired by the wonderful performances, there are so

many athletes here and you will see them over the course of the next two

weeks and they are doing so much hard work there want to ensure that

they go home with something rather special.

It is a great reminder of how much work was into making that Olympic

dream. One man who is still sweating from his effort is Lawrence Okolie.

What a fight that was, it looked like you enjoyed it. It was

fantastic. It is about getting experience. I have been quite

inexperienced. A big learning opportunity. Even though I want a

gold medal, I am so been in the atmosphere and enjoying myself full

is top tell people what you were doing during London 2012. I was

working in a Donald and watching a few Olympic events in my lunch

break. I managed to get myself here. It has only taken 25 bouts. You only

made your debut for Team GB less than a year ago. It was in November.

It has been massive. I want to shout out to the coaches and staff and

without them, I would not have been the -- been able to push on as fast

as I have. I want to shout out to all my family and friends. Someone

else who's supported you is a company Joshua, your sparring

partner. He has been a fantastic role model -- Anthony. There are

year fans. I managed to come along way. Some of my friends and family

have made the journey. It is an experience for them as well. I want

to thank everyone back in London for supporting me as well. You will now

face a big name Cuban boxer. Have you analysed him? He stopped me in

my last fight two months ago. I will be facing my Demons. I will get that

in there with someone who managed to do that and then I am hoping to go

on and get the win. Thank you for your time. Brilliant talker,

Lawrence Okolie, we will continue to follow him. We cut away from the

rugby sevens to show you that fight and just to bring you up with the

Australia Fiji game, it finished 53-0 to Australia. In group C, Great

Britain have won both their Games so far over Brazil and Japan. They face

Canada tomorrow, looks like a tasty clash. I spoke to Sir Clive Woodward

to get his views. Thank you for talking to us. What have you made of

the first day of the Olympics so far? It has been a wonderful day for

the women's sevens tournament. Two outstanding teams, Australia and New

Zealand, followed by the Canadian team and Team GB, a huge clash

tomorrow between them. The Australians especially Charlotte

cars like, they were remarkable. Carla McAllister was wonderful for

the New Zealand team. Two standout players but Fiji did well, the USA

team battled back, this evening's event was better, the heat really

got to the team and Team GB were so much better this evening. Very

confident they have a big match against Canada but as a sport,

fantastic, the women did really well in a very busy day. What do you

think the real challenges are for Team GB? The outstanding talent

comes from Australia and New Zealand but how do you think they will do? I

think Canada and Team GB can beat Australia and New Zealand, but today

those teams were a cut above the rest. The key being about playing

them, you have to keep hold of the ball. Every team that they play

against gets pressurised. They have wonderful players in McAllister and

Charlotte Caslick especially. If Team GB are to win, they have to

keep hold of the ball and there were too many mistakes this morning. This

evening was a lot better. Canada and Team GB can beat the favourites but

it will be hard work but in rugby sevens you must keep the ball and if

they can do that, they will have a wonderful Olympic Games. We have the

men's rugby sevens to follow but I wanted to ask you about rug a sevens

being in the Olympics, as a passionate rugby fans how do you

feel about it being on the world stage? It is colossal. I was excited

six years ago when the rugby sevens got the nod to be an Olympic sport.

This development of the game, especially the women's game and to

see how the women have come on, Fiji got a lot of investment from world

rugby and so have Columbia and the smaller teams and they get better

and better and when you see the sheer athleticism of some of the

women athletes, it is wonderful to see. When you read all the CVs of

the players involved, are lot of them have come from other sports, I

think rugby is a wonderful athletic game that mums and dads will want

their kids to play. We have seen some great athletes. I think it is

important, it is a great game for men and women because of the sheer

power and pace. Not so many rucks and all is as in the main game. We

have seen some wonderful athletes, the women have done the game of

rugby proud and it has been a privilege to be here to see it first

hand and I think the Olympic family are delighted that rugby sevens is

now a proper Olympic sport. It has been brilliant to watch. Just on

that opportunity to showcase it, are you disappointed there are not more

stars from the Home Nations? May be that could have got to grips with

some of the people watching rugby for the first time. I am not sure.

It is interesting to see what is happening because some of the star

players like Quade Cooper, he did not make the Australian team, Brian

Obama from South Africa has not made their team. It is a different game,

you have to have amazing aerobic fitness and I think you will see

this in the men's team when you see the Fiji team play. The amount of

training they do is different from the 15 man game. If any of the

big-name players that you talk about, from the UK or British game

want to play in the Olympics, they have to give it at least 12 months

or 24 months to get their aerobic fitness up to pace. It is a

different game. The women's game today has been brilliant and we have

some big heavyweight clash is coming tomorrow and the men's tournament

when it starts and when you think of New Zealand and South Africa,

Australia and all those amazing sides, Team GB, there will be great

clashes and I think you will see some great athletes playing in the

men's team and I'm not sure many of the star names would get into the

team. Sonny Bill Williams is a big-name but he is not at an

automatic start for the New Zealand team. Five more days of rugby sevens

to look forward to, go and get some rest. Thank you. That was Sir Clive

Woodward speaking to us earlier from the rugby sevens. We are on

Copacabana and welcome to our coverage of the Olympic Games 2016

in Rio. We have everything covered for you. One of the big stars, we

thought beforehand it would be Adam PT, but today he broke a world

record. In the first heat of the men's 100 metres breaststroke, he

smashed his own world record. He came to these Olympic Games as a

world record holder. You have to stay up quite late to see him in the

semi-finals alongside Ross Murdoch in the men's 100m breaststroke and

that will take place around three o'clock in the morning UK time. You

will be able to see that on BBC One with Jason mohamid but we can hear

more from Adam Peaty now. Before the Olympics, Rebecca Adlington went to

see him in his training base in Loughborough. How are you? I am

good. At five a.m., it you cannot go I am happy to be here. You're very

positive. I will give you that. What a brilliant 100m breast stroke. Adam

Peaty. While! Obviously you're on the block every day, do you

visualise yourself in Rio? A little bit. I like to visualise a race.

When you're in the water, all you can hear his numbers. When you take

your first stroke it is so loud. This is a very big lead. It is not

over. It looks like it might be Adam Peaty. He has got it on the last

stroke and the world champion is Adam Peaty! Are you worried about a

big crowd? I relish it. I love it. The more people the better. I can

swim good that I cannot swim great when there is no crowd. You cannot

say that, you broke the world record! It is different, it is

London. I looked up at the scoreboard and it said 57.9. Your

face! I looked at it and I looked at it again and then I had to take

another look just to make sure it was not going to be adjusted. We are

going fly kick underwater and then pull out. Do you think you would

have had the same success without Mel? I do not think I would get

anywhere near where am now. It has always been me and Mel and I trust

to give me something ahead of the rest. He has said that he does not

think he would have the success if he was not with you. You will make

you cry on television! I am in a unique decision that I am able to

have taken a 14-year-old young man to the Olympic Games as a world

record-holder and I will always be thankful and tumble about that

process. You know what the Olympics are like, you face all sorts of

hurdles. I have got a boy that for eight years has never given in and

have I taken their, who knows? I always think at Olympic Games, the

amazing thing is that someone comes out and goes, hello, you have never

heard of them, I was the underdog in Beijing... My goodness! It is! Do

think there will be someone like that in the 100 metres breast book

or do you think you are the best? Mel has always given me names, it is

not a cockiness, it is more of a confidence. If someone pops out, so

be it, I will welcome the challenge really. Looking at my training and

where I am in the gym, I am definitely in the strongest position

I have a Nairn. It is looking good. It is still my first Olympics. -- I

have been in. I have proven I can come back with a few medals. I am

hoping for my best possible performance. Hopefully he has got a

big Olympic Games ahead and at three o'clock in the morning you can see

Ross Murdoch and Adam Peaty goal in the semi-finals of the men's 100

metres breaststroke. Will be concentrating on a number of sports

over the next few hours, here is an idea of what you can watch at the

moment. You can look at the Red Button, the sport at, there is

women's weightlifting on the Red Button at the moment.

Did you know that weightlifting provided Great Britain's first ever

Olympic gold medal? It was a one arm lift at the inaugural modern games

in Athens at 1896. You can dazzle your friends with that one! Also

available on the Red Button it is the Superstars, the all-stars, the

dream team of the USA, the basketball team and China. Team USA

asked weighing on a luxury liner, the basketball side, just off the

coast of Rio de Janeiro. -- are staying on a luxury liner. The USA

are leading by 55-29. We will bring you some live table tennis. The

combination is underway here in Rio. Two men's made it into the men's

singles from Great Britain. Before we show you live action, here is

everything you need to know about the magic of table tennis.

Table tennis made its Olympic debut in South Korea in 1988 and has seen

China dominate the competition. Players normally have smooth rubber

on one side of their racket to provide the bin and a surface for

speed on the other side. Players often like to spin the ball during a

shot because it alters the trajectory. In singles, the serve

only has the go from the service side of the court to the opponent's

side. But in doubles, it must cross the court. During a rally, players

must allow the ball to bounce once on the table before returning it.

But this is a Fast and Furious sport requiring quick reactions. At the

highest level, with a lightning reflexes, with the balls being

struck around three times a second during the rally. A player must

reach 11.2 win a singles match. -- 11 points to win. In the team

events, singles and doubles matches are the best of five games. There

are three players in each team. Two further singles matches can be

played until one team has secured three wins. The format of the

individual and team event is elimination. If a person or team

loses a match, they will take no further part in the competition.

That is all you need to know. Just telling about the British number

one, Liam Pritchard has had a bye eh. Polge wrinkle is an action, --

Paul. It is just about to start. Live table tennis coming to your way

on four. A big moment here for Paul Drinkall. Five times the national

champion. His second Olympics. A really consistent player. Ranked 58

in the world, 26 years of age, up against this guy,, Aleksandar

Karakasevic, a really good player. Ten years ago he was ranked there to

do in the world. He is a little bit past his sell by date, but you try

telling him that! He has got plenty of shots. He will be very, very good

to watch. As far as Paul Drinkhall is concerned, hopefully not too

good. But this Olympics for second. -- it is his fifth Olympics,

Aleksandar Karakasevic. He is higher ranked, Paul Drinkhall, 58 in the

world. Allen Clarke is his coach. -- Alan Cooke. He has a wealth of

experience. Paul is 26 years old. He has an attacking game, it should be

an interesting watch. Aleksandar Karakasevic is a man of power, the

left-hander. -- a man of power on. He got to the third round in Athens,

that is the best he has done in an Olympics, that was back in 2004.

Second round in London 2012. A consistent performer at around that

Lovell. Of course, the top-flight is more or less governed by the

Chinese. They want all of -- they won the last 16 medals. Paul

Drinkhall versus Aleksandar Karakasevic is about to begin. A

pop-up received their that Drinkhall could get onto quickly.

He has still got lightning reflexes, Aleksandar Karakasevic.

A superbly talented player. But some wonder whether he has made the most

of his talent, even though he has gone as high as 32 in the world. It

is that's first match, it is a first round match. Aleksandar Karakasevic

played in a preliminary match against an Australian player and won

4-2. You can see both players desperate

to get on the front foot and get a first strike in.

It just won't happen for Karakasevic at the moment. A very solid start

for Drinkhall. Yeah, wonderful short serve held up by the let. It is just

what he wanted, the Serb loaded with spin, got the pop-up received and

could get into ball three very quickly -- the serve loaded. Cobra

like flick of the ball over the table.

A feud gifts coming the way of Drinkhall. -- a few gifts. Baz

hasn't found any kind of rhythm at the moment. -- Karakasevic. Changing

the spins and the Serbs are very effectively, some short, some long

for Paul Drinkhall. The service. The second ounce would have bounced on

the baseline that. -- the second bounce.

He has just not quite dialled in from the off here, the Serbian.

Entitled the towel down every six points, these players.

It is a big arena, a 10,000 seater. It is more like an aircraft hangar.

Just about a mile away from the Olympic Park.

That is more what he is capable of. Yeah, he has got a flashing blade on

the backhand, deceptively tough for Paul to get a read on that one.

It may be too late to rescue this opening game, but he is showing us

now that he will be a threat in this opening match. He had a fate which

ball, hence the finger aloft an apology. -- edged ball.

Setting up the point beautifully with some bury a bold directional

changes off the backhand. Five consecutive points -- variable

directional changes. It is not too late to rescue this game.

Desperate to keep the serve low and render it attack Kabul, this is what

it is all about. -- on attack Kabul. Time-out being called. Early on,

each player is allowed one per match. This is necessary after six

successive points to pick up a bit here. It is a worrying patch, this.

I think the coach is called that, Paul called time out there

evidently. It gives him a bit of time, desperate to hold onto the

momentum. He has got a second serving opportunity to do just that,

and get the game ball, possibly. Alan Cooke will have logged which is

his most effective service. Now is the time to employ just that against

this power on the left-hander from Serbia. -- against this volunteered

left-hander. -- talented. A rush of points now for the serve.

It is the first to two ahead. At last, a spell is broken. Game

point. Pitchford is at the top left of the picture. He is in action

tomorrow. A wonderful drop shot from

Karakasevic there to square writ of. It will be decided with two points

clear here. -- square it off. Big opportunity there. It is game

point. Karakasevic. Well, that is a formidable comeback.

9-2 it was. Absolutely, what a comeback, seven in a row for Baz,

remarkable turnaround. That, you would imagine, would make Paul

Drinkhall a little tense -- for Karakasevic.

How good will he feel going in the game to? It is a real bonus, a

couple of timely returns. -- gain two. What a miraculous escape for

the Serbian player. He will regain his confidence and

his rhythm. It is quite a forgiving format, with the best-of-7 games,

the race of all games five of these players. I am sure that Paul will

not be hitting the panic button quite yet. Pretty well shared out,

it was that close a game. But with violently fluctuating form. But it

was mostly about Karakasevic. We will see if Drinkhall can change

that in game number two. Well, he doesn't like yielding any

table or any quarter position does Karakasevic the Drinkhall. He is

trying to state tight to the table and Russian Drinkhall. That is

clever. -- and Russian Drinkhall. What a shot! It was a fast body

serve into the pocket of the left-hander. It exploded off the

backhand side. It has been very solid off that wing.

Paul Cleverley showing all of his smorgasbord of service variation.

Having a little flick on the backhand.

Well, it is having great effect of of his backhand serve, Karakasevic,

really causing Paul problems. Good little Bourdy JAMA, just

handcuffing Karakasevic. -- body jam.

It is still really all about the service. Win or lose it. Paul

drinkable is doing a good job again at the start of the second game. --

Paul Drinkhall. A good run for the Brett. -- Britain. -- the British

competitor. How good was that? That was

masterful, the backhand. Solid, difficult to read. So stylish.

Reminding him that he had a big lead in the first game and lost it. He

seems to switch on for periods of absolute sublime Williams,

Aleksandar Karakasevic, then suddenly goes a wall. Good attacking

on the forehand. -- brilliance. Six game points now to level up at one

apiece. He has still got some brilliance

left in this game, seems to play at his best when his back is against

the wall. Surely he cannot rescue this game?

He is countering Paul's explosive power really well, he has lightning

quick hands, the Serbian. Disturbingly for English fans, that

is four consecutive points for Aleksandar Karakasevic who looks

threatening when he is right up against it. It is quite astonishing.

Four game points have come and gone, here is game point number five. He

writes his own rules does this guy. Can he finished the job? If he

trails 2-0 he will be a little bit hand-carved with this swing, you

would imagine. -- handcuffed. From 10-4, six game points have come and

gone and we are in the same position we were in the first game.

Well played. It is a very aggressive forehand flick return there. Surely

the seventh time. The fast longer serve got home. And

that will be huge relief. So nearly. And you can see, he has got some

character this guy. He has been like Houdini. He almost escaped there and

Paul drink all was delighted to get that second game. -- Paul Drinkhall.

These are heady times for table tennis in GB.

Paul here with Liam Pitchford and Sam Walker, they will be fancied to

do well in the team event. Again, a fair share out on points won on

serve and lost on serve. It is a very difficult match. It is about

the ebbs and flows of Aleksandar Karakasevic. He is so fast in his

attack, he is countering the attacks from Paul very well and then

suddenly turns defence into attack and a flash at side. Paul, it is a

rhythm must match for him and he does not know what is coming next.

He is normally more dominant off his own serve -- a match without rhythm

for him. Aleksandar Karakasevic looked

worryingly fed up missing out on a two game lead. He has got himself

back into this. He is starting to show the full range of his

repertoire which is formidable. He has got vicious racket head speed,

irrespective of where he stood, that was deep chord position, but well

played. -- court. When he is playing like this, there

really is very little that Paul Drinkhall can do about it. Is it

just a hot streak that will burn out?

He has got quick eyes and hands and sees the game very early and

understand when Paul is on the table and what is likely to come next.

Got to take it to him when you can, it is easier said than done.

Of course for Paul it is rather difficult because this is his first

match out here in this arena in live match conditions and of course for

Aleksandar Karakasevic, he has had a winner already as you alluded to, he

will be far more settled in the arena. He honestly feels he should

have made it. It was there for him. -- obviously.

Great acceleration off the backhand side, he needed more time to set up

and release the racket tip. A good spell here. A good spell from

Paul Drinkhall. Aleksandar Karakasevic was coming at him. You

can see where Paul is going, he feels if he can get into the body of

Aleksandar Karakasevic, he will be rewarded but he is pretty quick and

gets out of the way well. There from the serve. Pushing him

away from the table. 7-3 becomes 7-7. A little lucky but he put it

away well using every square inch of the table to good effect their,

great accuracy from Paul Drinkhall. Things are going his way. You can

see, Aleksandar Karakasevic is not enjoying it! Six consecutive points

for Paul Drinkhall, he is so good at changing the direction off the

backhand side, getting a little emotional.

He knows this game is far from done and dusted, you just never know with

the Serbian. He has that two points on his own serve now, Aleksandar

Karakasevic and is very dangerous in that regard.

Great return. And Paul Drinkhall moves ahead. Two Games to one and a

much easier conversation now. It seems that Paul Drinkhall is being

rewarded for being that the more vocal. The body language was good,

more positive and Cook is delighted as you can see. Kind of getting in

the face of Aleksandar Karakasevic. A man who was totally dedicated

along with his family to the sport when he was just 11 years of age she

went to China to see how it is really done, no better place.

Retained a Chinese coach for around a decade before Alan Cooke. He has

just got better and better. Still Aleksandar Karakasevic will be

a little disappointed that he is not doing better on serve. The serve is

normally a dominant factor in table tennis but not so in this game, they

are returning very well, these two. Paul has to keep the variation in

the attack line. He is 2-1 Games in France. -- Games in front. How many

times is that happening to him? Away it goes. It is a game decided by

millimetres, such fine margins in this vast sport. Well played, he is

changing the point of attack. Fast though he is, Paul Drinkhall.

Getting up act. Could not quite cope with the serve, Aleksandar

Karakasevic, but well finished. He got his body out of the way, skipped

to the side and hit the forehand beautifully, Paul Drinkhall.

It rather popped up from him, a rare shot from Aleksandar Karakasevic.

Good response from the Serbian. Well, he suddenly just goes on these

runs of points, Karakasevic. Brilliant! Turning defensive to

attack. One of his best point in the match, Paul Drinkhall, there. Looks

out of it. Such a Aussie atmosphere in here,

four tables. It is all kicking off -- such a buzz -- buzzy atmosphere

in here. You can see he is changing the point of attack.

It is a terrific serve, loaded with spin, really disguised forehand

attack. A chance there. It goes begging, and

they all level pegging in this fourth game. -- they are level

pegging. A very good job of pushing Drinkhall

back again. He has got an efficient game style, he doesn't move around

as much as Drinkhall, but he doesn't need to, his hands skills of a

nominal, and his directional control is exquisite. -- after nominal. And

expensive shot to level up again. He senses this is a key game, if

Drinkhall wins it. I don't think there is only coming back the

Karakasevic. First of four, remember. -- any coming back. First

of four games. Again, same problem, he looks

dangerous behind the net. Dynamite! Again, the serve is

impossible to read. Two points away from a 3-1 lead. Quick to pounce on

to this, Paul popped up an explosive finish from Drinkhall.

Now, a load of points being one on the serve. -- being won.

This time, Karakasevic away from the table. What is he on about? Having

given himself I think missing the opportunity, he or two game points.

-- here are. Oh, so good, clinical finish.

Drinkhall should be very happy at the way he has responded. Dropping

that second game. Just going away from the table.

Karakasevic probably needs to get his mind to hear. He probably will

welcome the opportunity. This is a wonderful ball from Drinkhall,

setting it up, pulling the trigger down the line on the forehand,

wonderful spite to the short part of the court, the light etched over his

face, as well it should be. Karakasevic is a tricky opponent.

Paul is 3-1 to the good, that will delight the English fans.

Looking relaxed. Which is not what you can say about Karakasevic. He

hasn't exactly got a table then as player's build, has he? -- table

tennis player. A little bit more dominant on serve from both players

there. Karakasevic winning the majority of points on his serve, but

not good enough in the end to take the game.

He is getting distracted by something, I can't quite work out

what it is. You can see he is trying to have a go. The umpires here,

completely contrasting body language there, Drinkhall was animated and

dynamic around the table. Karakasevic gesticulating in

frustration. Well, he has got the ability to turn

it around. Has he got the application here?

The serve more and more is causing Karakasevic problems.

That is a terrific shot receive from Paul Drinkhall, kept it tight to the

net. -- shot receive. He kept it really shot as well. We have the

time out here for the service. One time out to each team per match.

Got a little unlucky there, the ball kissing the net and spilling wide.

Drinkhall animated, this is good, getting in the face of the Serbian

opponent. Drinkhall did when the test event here at the end of last

years ago did win. In November. He was the only non-South American to

play, he was the top seed. It must have been good experience. That

said, a table is a table. But he has come here and got itchy and to the

conditions. He seems to be doing well enough here. -- got tuned to

the conditions. Well, he is turning this around

nicely, the forehand down the line that he is biking is causing

problems for Karakasevic. -- is biking. The third game is looking

more and more important now. What has happened here as well that

the Serbian can be less expensive, he is more inhibited because of the

scoreboard pressure now. It is allowing Paul Drinkhall the

opportunity to play with abandon and get on the front foot quicker in the

rally. Yes, the serve again did the job,

but he kept his thoughts on the accelerator, allowed Karakasevic

nothing. -- he kept his foot on the accelerator.

That is a good return. Well, he is getting a lot more joy, Paul

Drinkhall, from serving to the Karakasevic forehand, going to the

backhand. That is his favourite play.

It is the noise may be from the adjoining table that is upsetting

him, but he should be used a lot. That is what happens, and he knows

it. -- used to that. It is a real hullabaloo from the

adjacent table, absolutely. You can see he is distracted, he is looking

over their, he needs to get his mind back on the job because Drinkhall is

really getting get-together. He is becoming increasingly animated. --

getting it together. The reason is, there is a Brazilian player who is

obviously drawing most of the attention there.

And although Paul Drinkhall is just three points away from the match,

you still feel that there is an awful lot of table tennis left with

this danger man here. Chickens are being counted.

Oh, such a clever short shot there. No way to go for Karakasevic.

Super. Again, pushing it back. And in terms of five match points.

Clinical finish. A worrying start could easily have been two games

down. But he turned it around, Karakasevic, but Drinkhall did what

he had to do. Very much, you was a very awkward opponent, very

talented. Alan Cook is delighted with Paul Drinkhall. He lives to see

another day. Plenty of smiles now. Drinkhall will go off and play Gao

Ning of Singapore in round two tomorrow afternoon. Karakasevic will

need some consoling. I wouldn't want to be the guy to try and console

him! Absolutely, he is a big unit of rather frustrated there. The right

for the men in red, Drinkhall safely through. Through the second round.

Let's look of a he salutes his fans. -- let's look at the match point. He

salutes his fans. Karakasevic doing well to nick the second game. He

looked as if he might take the third. From then on, when he lost

that 12-10, Drinkhall seemed to have his number. Drink or was very

effective, serving into the forehand of the Serb more often, the backhand

was red-hot tonight. It is Paul Drinkhall who goes through in the

end. Three successive games, 11-5 in the fifth, that was well played. He

will play Gao Ning tomorrow. STUDIO: Successful Paul Drinkhall in

the table tennis. He will play again tomorrow. The British number one,

the pitch but, have a byes for the first time, he is into the second

round. -- Liem Pitchford. We're on to the wee small hours back home in

the UK, load of coverage of this first day of the Olympics continues

in BBC One for the next few hours as well as BBC Four. You can catch up

with a number of spores across the Red Button, the website and the BBC

sport app. We are going to show you a new sport for us, it is the first

time we have shown it on these Olympic Games. This is one of the

lovely BBC guides the weightlifting. Men's weightlifting appeared at the

first modern Olympics, and has featured in every games since 1920,

while the women's competition only made its debut in Sydney in 2000.

The aim of weightlifting is simple - to lift the greatest way possible.

There are two types of lift, the snatch and the Queen jerk.

Competitors have the complete both lifts, and the winner is the person

whose combined weight total is the greatest. This match is a lift

whether barbel is raised across the head in a continuous movement. The

athlete starts in a squat position, and must flip the weight into a

position above their head. When they are secure in this position, they

rise and complete the movement. The jerk lift is performed in two

stages, the barbel is gripped palms downward and pulled in a single

movement, but the jerk is where the athlete bends and extends the legs

and arms to bring the barbel to. Four. They must stand still -- the

full stretch. Each weightlifter has three attempts in both the snatch

and the jerk with the combined total of the highest two successful lists

determining the overall result. If after three attempts they fail to

register I directly they will be eliminated from the competition.

Olympic weightlifting requires more than strength, Barnes, stability and

speed. It is essential to a weightlifter's quest for glory --

balance. It is time for some live

weightlifting. It is the women's 48 category. The competitor from

Thailand is leading. We will go back to the real centre. They are asking

to stop the competition. Just as we see the replay. What to think? It is

a difficult angle to see. The elbow closest to us, I am not sure at

first it was shoulder movement, but there, I can get that. The jury have

called the two side referees over and I think they are going to

overturn this decision and give them a telling off at the same time.

These are the scorecards that we can see. This is where the coaches

nominate the weight, very tactical. Just waiting for a decision on that

previous left. They have not done it yet.

The American is getting ready to come out. No left, there is the

announcement. Now a question, is it Morghan Whitney King who is coming

out or do they take the bar back down to 99? She is currently on 100

and surely Wei-Ling Chen has the right to know what has just

happened? The bar has gone back down to 99. They will have to come back

out. That was a really tough call. Morghan Whitney King is frustrated

but she will go back end and Wei-Ling Chen will be back out. It

is frustrating for Morghan Whitney King, she is ready and prepared,

ready for that split second and now she has to hang on for a couple of

minutes. Getting into that film is really difficult. And up and down

offer motions all through the competition -- zone. She has gone

up. Chen Wei-Ling has gone up. There is an interesting decision.

Morghan Whitney King is back out. Her first attempt at 100 kilos. She

does have on record, a record of 113. She has already been in good

form, a personal best of around five kilos in the snatch earlier today.

Four kilos up on her previous best on the international platform. I do

believe, it was her fellow countrywoman who won the first gold

medal at the first Olympic Games when women's weightlifting was

included. That was the 48 kilo category in the Sydney Olympics.

Great to see other letters coming through. Absolutely smashed it. Lost

track of how much an improvement that is overall. 11 kilos in the

total so far. Does not really move her feet very wide, leaves the hips

behind but she is clearly strong enough. Chen Wei-Ling, 100 kilos on

the bar. First left at 98. That is OK. That will be a success the

left... No. Really? I am asking why. I want to see a replay. Goodness me,

what does she have to do? She got one white line from the judge and

two reds. Interesting replay. I am sorry, I cannot see any movement in
