Day 1 BBC One: 01.00-04.00 Olympics

MUSIC. The beautiful sights and sounds of his ilk and some great

moments of Olympic Games of days gone by. -- of Brazil. This

wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro will hopefully provide some great

moments again in 2016. Put the kettle on, we have a long night

Ross Murdoch in the semifinals at 3:10 a.m.. We would love you to get

involved. Use the hashtag #BBCOlympics and also get involved

on Facebook. If you are inspired by any of these wonderful athletes in

this magnificent city of Rio, then get to our Get Inspired page on the

BBC sport website. Let's turn our attention to the women's hockey. If

you remember London 2012, that was a remarkable journey for the women's

hockey team when they picked up a bronze medal. They take on old

rivals Australia. Mel Clewlow was there for us this evening. Good

evening. How excited are you for Team GB's quest for glory this year?

It is going to be a massive tournament. There is no bigger game

than playing Australia in your opening game. We have just seen the

USA beat Argentina, which has upset the pool at it. Lots of pressure on

the girls tonight. What sort of challenge does this Australian side

-- impose -- Australian side impose? They like to put pressure on the

ball the moment the whistle blows. Team GB have to be on top of their

game tonight. Obviously the Australians have not won a medal in

this event since the Sydney picks since 2000. No, they haven't. Since

2008 they have been targeting Rio as the next games, I guess, to win a

medal. Having covered them at the champions Trophy recently, they are

a team that is on the up. They could do some damage here in Rio. Team G

were absolutely remarkable in 2012. Who are the stars we should you

looking out for this year? Chris Cullen will always be a threat from

penalty corners. Lili Ousley is the young world player of the year, so

she is one true account for up front. Susanna Townsend is a dynamo.

Then the likes of Alex Johnson, Kate Richardson Walsh as captain. There

is strength and depth. Maddie Hinch is one of the best goalkeepers in

the world. We have got some quality players out there tonight, and

hopefully the girls can do well and pick up the three points. Mel, thank

you. We will be back to you on about 20 minutes. One of the things we

will be focusing on this evening is swimming. Lots of medals up for

grabs tonight, and these are the superstars you need to look out for.

Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympian in history. Sarah so

strong, very quick indeed. Sun Yang, so good. My goodness! The new

Olympic champion is Missy Franklin from the USA. He has won it! Very

good swimming indeed. Brilliant swim from Hannah Miley. Cate Campbell

gets the gold, Bronte Campbell gets the silver. Jess Carling takes gold!

What a brilliant swim it was. Ryan Loch Dee wants for the medley. Look

at that. Great swimming from Emily Seebohm of Australia. The gold medal

goes to James Guy for Great Britain. Well, the aquatics centre is part of

the newly built Olympic Park to the west of Rio's city centre. 15 one

half thousand fans in the Irena, along with our swimming team,

fantastically anchored by Helen Skelton. Good evening, Helen.

Fantastically, I will take that. Thank you. I don't think it is too

big of a statement to call this the house of fun. It was fun this

afternoon in the first session, when we saw a world record smashed. Adam

Peaty, spearheading the campaign for the Brits, smashed his own world

record. Tonight, it is all about the medals. We were here this afternoon,

but in the last couple of hours that podium has been put in place. Some

of these -- somebody's little boy or somebody's little girl will stand up

on top of that podium is an old and pick champion. It will happen in the

next couple of hours. Betty Adlington and Mark Foster join me.

Before we get into the specifics of who might be up there for Britain,

let's talk about the British team in general. Expectations for the week.

One of the hardest selection processes in the world. How often

are we going to see them on that podium? It is a tough team this

year. In London we had about 40 athletes, only 26 this year. It is a

smaller and more focused team. But we have lots of chances. In Beijing

and London we only got three medals, and fair enough, they were different

colours, but they were only three medals. This time I would like to

see them get more than three. We just made a list of who could. There

is Ross, PT, James Guy, Siobhan Riera,, the relays, we have got so

many medal chances that hopefully tonight we can get off to a great

start and get that ball rolling. Jason hit the nail on the head when

he said we would need to Kathleen to watch this live in Britain. We are

going to need Kathleen here! -- caffeine. Who are some of the people

that we should be staying up for? Well, Michael Phelps is in. He gave

up for a couple of years but is now making a comeback. He will be here.

Missy Franklin, Caitlin techie, Ryan locked it, Cate Campbell from

Australia. So many people to look out for this week. Just to put a pin

into night, this is for the rest of the week, but we have talked lots

about Adam Peaty coming into this as world champion, European champion,

Commonwealth champion, world record holder. He is on course to take the

Olympic title as well. Set your alarm, because he could be the first

male champion since Adrian Moorhouse, unless we see somebody

like James Guy or Hannah Miley up on that podium first. We cannot talk

about suing without mentioning the Russians. That has overshadowed all

the buildup to the swimming. We have heard that it looks like the

Russians will be on the starting list. Casanova, for instance, a

young lady who has been found guilty twice. She has failed a drug test of

banned substances. You are allowed to get off the fence, it is your

opinion. Vekic? It is difficult. We were told coming into this that

those seven athletes were banned, and the fact that that has just been

overturned is very disappointing, especially when there is quite a lot

of athletes in there, especially in British events. So we feel lots of

passion about that. It will be an interesting week to see how the

crowd react to them. The thing is, ultimately, the IOC had an

opportunity to take a stand and they pushed it towards the federations. I

think that the world governing body, for a number of years, has been very

weak. They need to make a stand. We have always talked about this, if

you test positive anything, it is your responsibility what you put in

your body, I think it should be a lifetime ban. And once that is in

place, hopefully people will not cheat any more. It is not just the

Russians. Sun Yang, the world champion, will see him tonight, and

Britain's James Guy in this one. He had a brilliant world champ in ships

last year, coming away with a gold and silver. He was speaking to Steve

Parry. ORCHESTRAL MUSIC. It is unusual for

Olympic athletes, isn't it? To being gauged in fishing? I have been

fishing for years and I love it, I am obsessed. It is a great way to

shut down and shut off and have something that is completely

different from swimming. It is not about records and times, it is about

what bait you are using. A way to calm down and relax and enjoy

myself. The men's 400 metre freestyle. James Guy, out in front!

A fantastic silver medal for James Guy! Going in there, with no

expectation, I thought I might get a medal in the 400 metres. Get a

sneaky third. And I got a silver. I was excited, I was hopeful, I was

confident, and I was relaxed. Because for me, that was the goal.

This is going to be really close! James Guy in the centre. The gold

medal goes to James Guy, world champion in the 200 metres

freestyle! Well done, Sir! The goal to me was to go and have fun. I did

that, and it paid off. To get a medal was special. Success in that

Rio would be great, getting a personal best, but it would be nice

to get a medal as well. I want to do Team GB proud, to my country proud.

And my family has come so much for me, it would be nice to pay that

back to them. He is the greatest athlete of all time, Michael Phelps.

I have watched him since I was nine years old. It is phenomenal to be in

the same pool as him. I cannot control what anybody else does. I am

going to do my thing and race as hard as I can and play as fast as I

can. I feel fit and strong and ready to go. I have waited all my life to

do this, and now I am finally here. It is pretty special.

James Guy, you can not question his calibre, his character, his spirit.

We saw him today in his heat. That face says it all, will doesn't it?

It was a tired swim, but it was not really. It is the beginning of the

meat. He took it out really well at the beginning, I thought. Really

smoothly. Back has said this before. I didn't do for hundreds of 800

metres, I just did one lap, it was easy. When you are used to it,

sometimes it is quite hard work, isn't it? Yes, and keeping the James

Guy, and all our British athletes, we do struggle trying to swim at

this time in the morning and then again in the evening, because we

don't do that at home. It is easy to James to go to the trials and swim

in all right average heat swim, and then get to the final. When it

considers big competition you have this in a very and then back it up.

-- when you come to this competition. I used to struggle with

that. It is a shame for James that he has not will implement at what

Adam has done for the past two years by swimming quick each round. He has

not done that same tactic. It has been working for him, though, so he

can say, actually, I will stick with my own race. He is a racer, isn't

he? He likes the chase. He likes hurting himself. He does. When he

has to, he hurt himself. Looking at the trials in April, the time then

was two seconds faster than this morning. There is a lot more they

are, if it can come out. Worth mentioning Stephen Milne is well. He

was in the heats of the 400 metres earlier today to stop his former

personal best, faster than he had has. Word on Max Litchfield, because

he is going into his first Olympic final, his first Alan pick games.

Sheffield, stay with us tonight, because you could see your boy in

the finals. Hannah Miley, we will see her as well. She comes into this

even second fastest in the world this year.

I love what I do and the results will come. Is a silver! Well done

Hannah Miley! Hannah's dad. Wonderful thing to be able to share

your daughter. Your full-time coach is your dad. How much does it help

you that he is full-time with you now? It helps a lot to have a coach

full time, knowing that whenever you go to a training session, you have

your coach that two tiny and keep an eye on you. To pick up on the little

bits in the water. I've had so many sessions where he has had to go off

to work, he used to fly helicopters and he would leave the training

session. It's great from my point of view for him to be around more now.

He can read how I am in the water, he can change the sessions based on

how I feel and how I look. I get a lot more one-on-one attention which

in the long run has been really good. To be able to make the Olympic

Games, I am the one that's in the pool, it's a reflection of all the

hard work and sacrifice that we have made as a family. The whole family

are supportive. It's not just me and my dad, my mum and my two brothers

as well. We are a unit that works closely. Hannah Miley wins gold for

Scotland! What a start for the Commonwealth Games! A whole bunch of

people in the Stadium were behind her. European titles and world

medals. What would it mean to finally get the Olympic honour? I

would love to be able to say at the end that we have done it. Every

athlete streamed to come away from the -- with the medal but how much I

have learnt about myself. Yes, the metal at the end will be amazing but

that is not it. It sounds so final that if you get the medal it is like

finishing a computer game. The journey is not there, it keeps

going. -- medal. I would love the medal and I dream of being on the

podium but I don't see that as being the end and that is the final

achievement. There is so much more after. If my child likes me half as

much as Hannah loves her father, I would be very lucky. She sees her

dad as his hero -- her hero. That breaks your heart, doesn't it?

Patrick loves the sport, the dad, and as a coach, he is so passionate,

he wants to help everyone. I remain to him doing it with me and it was

like" you are OK, you are not my dad" will stop they love --. They

have squabbles like any parent and daughter do but it makes them

stronger. They work well together. They have tried so many different

things. For Hannah to stay top of the game like she has and be at her

third Olympics, it is credit to them. If you are an American

filmmaker, Hannah is the one you would make a story about. She

trained in a tiny pool. It is an endearing, unique setup, isn't it? A

lot of other people couldn't do it. Patrick's attention to detail is

second to none. He even invented this device that you put inside your

hat that gives you tempo advice. He came up with that concept and it

became an invention. They use it an awful lot. The whole family setup is

their brother is someone that pushes her in training every day. A

training partner. It is intense. When you get those results, it's

very heartwarming. She has a European medal, Commonwealth medal,

she doesn't have an Olympic medal. Stiff competition, though. This

morning it was that could tinker show. She dominated. She is just so

powerful and so strong -- Katinka. She wanted to get the world record

and she just missed out this morning. Not just Hannah in this

event for the Brits. Aimee Willmott as well. What you make of her

chances? She has a good chance. I think Miley and Wilmot together.

Potentially that could be whether medals come from the silver and

bronze. Aimee Willmott looked tired this morning. Her strokes looked

good, though. She paced the race better. Hannah needs to be out on

the fly and be with them more. Miley is going to be in the bottom with

Del Monte and Dorado up in lane true and three. Stick with us if you want

to see whether Hannah will get an Olympic medal to add to her

collection. This is how things are shaping up. Two or 3am, guys. In

Saturday night! Adam Peaty, eight minutes past three, will see the 100

metre breaststroke semifinals. Murdoch going in the second one. Can

he get faster? Yes. Why not? If people can do the training then

people can get up at 3am and watch them. That was a phenomenal world

record this morning. Anything is possible with this guide. He wasn't

even out of breath! -- this guy. He wasn't out of breath and he talked

about inspiring the next generation of swimmers. If you have children,

let them stay up all night to night echoes my children are ready awake

at that time. Joking aside, inspiring the next generation. --

because my children are already a week. We have had a history of

Olympic champions. If you have inspiration in that event, you are

one of those inspirations. Thank you. We have always had some good

people in there. There are plenty of reasons to stay up to night.

Everyone loves swimming! I live and breathe swimming. The

feeling of what is unlike anything else. I love being in the pool.

There is something inside me that told me I could be fast. It shows

you care about something. I've spent my whole life 's training for this

moment. I want to push myself to the limits, simple as that. It is

everything to every athlete. In it put everything into each row and

just to put yourself in the final. I've wanted it so much for so long

and I am going to go on the podium and going to get it absolutely

everything. --I am going to give it absolutely everything. Lots of love

for the swimming already. It will be back with Helen and her marvellous

team in the aquatic centre just before two o'clock. Let's turn our

attention to what else is happening right across the Olympics in Rio de

Janeiro. This is what we have available for you. If you fancy a

bit of table tennis, Paul Drinkhall is up against it on BBC for right

now. On the Red Button, Venus Williams is taking on Flipkens of

Belgium. If you fancy live football, the women's first round match

Colombia versus New Zealand is light. That is the tremendous

stadium. We will focus on Team GB's women in the hockey taking on

Australia, old rivals, later. In a few minutes time. This remind you

what happened today when the men get their Olympic campaign under way

against Belgium. Great Britain looking for a way out. Slightly

trapped in the corner. Pushed all the way back. There is space. A shot

on goal! First goal of the match to Belgium! It was too hot to handle.

The ball intercepted. Jackson not getting full contact. He was

claiming that he was impeded but no matter. He is back in possession

now. Ashley Jackson, a flick to his left. Inside the circle! Can they

feed it through? What a strike! What a goal for Great Britain. Superbly

put away by Nick! The Great Britain defenders are

charging the ball bravely. A second opportunity. It's a for Belgian. --

it is a goal. Across the face of goal. Good save! Down on his Delhi,

West strokes the ball away. -- belly. Great Britain one.

It's an open goal! It can't miss! He doesn't miss. The final scoreline,

Belgium four, Great Britain one. A very disappointing start for our men

in the hockey. They have to bounce back. They take on New Zealand

tomorrow. What lies in store for our women? A big game coming up live

against Australia. When I look back to the London

Olympics, it feels like I am watching a movie and there is

someone else in it. It is surreal. The biggest thing you learn is the

small margins make the biggest difference. At the Olympics, under

high pressure, the difference between winning and losing could be

making a tackle or making an opportunity. What a comeback this

has been! This is a different group than what went to London in the

Olympic Games. Having some of those players that have been through the

London cycle and had success, the young people don't know what they

don't know in having the older players guided them and mentored

them through the ups and downs of the Olympics is absolutely

fundamental. Howdy you feel about going into what will be for the

Olympic Games? -- how do you feel? In 1999, I didn't think I would be

here. I feel very, very lucky and privileged. I am a mother hen. I

will slap you around the face and give you a hug. We spend so much

time with each other, I just care. We become so involved in each

other's lives that you really care about the person. It makes us tight

as a group. I am unfortunately the youngest! I

was hoping someone younger would come in but I guess a the baby. They

look after me. Can you describe the pure excitement of being part of an

Olympic squad? I couldn't hold it in. It was such an amazing moment.

That day I could finally just think about the Olympics. I won 100 %

believe we could win a gold metal without a doubt. -- medal. At the

end of the day, it will be part. The world of women's hockey has grown.

The toxic sites are all able to beat each other which makes it exciting.

-- the top six sides. We think we are a good enough side

to win a medal. It's what we have really wanted.

Let's had live to the Olympics hockey venue. It is north of the

Olympic Park. Good evening, everybody. The eagerly

anticipated clash of Great Britain and Australia. The first match for

both teams fall pool B. --4. -- for pool B. This game has added

zest and plenty of importance. Australia in the green and gold.

They will be hitting from left to right. Great Britain playing in

already to night. The Argentinian umpire, one of two.

We have had top temperatures today. It is a warm 25 with 50% humidity.

The middle of winter. It feels like a hot day in an English summer.

Australia get things under way. The Hockeyroos. Good evening, Mel, we

have been very excited about this fixture all day. It is a cracking

game for Great Britain to start their Olympic campaign. As you said,

there is a lot of rivalry between these two. They played against each

other in February and spend champions Trophy in June. They know

a lot about each other and will be interesting to see who can get the

upper hand. A new format with the time these

days in hockey. We play for my quarters of 15 minutes each, with a

ten minute break the half-time after the second quarter. --4 quarters of

15 minutes. You can feel the tension around the

arena. Anti-of Australian supporters here, and lots of union jacks

around. -- plenty of Australian supporters.

Great start by Great Britain. The intensity at which they have

started, there is nothing worse than being in the Olympic Village and

waiting for the last game of the day to start. So far so good for the

girls. Rate to see them playing positively. -- great. Yes, they lost

earlier today against an inspired Elton 's side. -- inspired Belgian

side. Free hit to Australia. It is the

direct play that is good from Team GB.

To see Alex Danson so high in the field, being that opportunity early

on, that is a positive sign. Good defence from Heather

Richardson-Walsh. The ball plucked out of the air.

Dangerously high. A free hit to Great Britain. Crista Cullen, the

number five, took time out after Great Britain's bronze medal at the

London Olympics, but she has returned to the squad is now, eager

to improve on that third place four years ago.

Great Britain with the lion's share of possession in the early stages

here. It is almost a style you are used to

seeing from Australia, putting the opposition under pressure right from

the word go. They have struggled to get themselves into a pattern of way

or any kind of routine. These are the kinds of things which, from a

British perspective, give you hope. Jane-Anne Claxton down the right for

Australia, looking for a way through to the edge of the circle. She is

held up, flicking it over the top of the British stick. The pressure

relieved, as Great Britain come away down the left-hand side, with Hannah

Macleod. Australia looking dangerous here,

Karri McMahon taking it all the way through. A hand away from Maddie

Hinch. Free hit for Australia. Nice work!

Good interception with the overhead. Sophie Bray is a post player in

defending corners. She has a good fight for a ball, and makes that

look easy. Jodie Kenny, trying to put the cross

in. Kenny asking for it on the right.

Kerstin Dwyer penetrating for Australia. A chance for a shot on

goal, Hinch coming out sharply to save.

Great Britain got away with that one.

Fantastic play by Maddie Hinch, taking it on the face mask. She is

so quick to close down the angles. She could be the key to Great

Britain's success in this tournament.

Great Britain under some pressure here, with just under nine minutes

of the first period still to play. It is in!

I think it is potentially dangerous play. The ball in from the wire,

half touch. -- Dwyer. Australia are building some momentum and getting

into their stride. Now Great Britain with a chance to

put a little bit of pressure on the Australian defence. But that comes

to nothing. Cagey start between the two sides, as they check each other

out during these opening exchanges. I think it is two sides who know

each other very well, and want to try to get some points on the board

in their first game. Nance wearing the number one, normally it is the

cup and who wears that. -- the captain. Emulating Jamie Dwyer.

Twigg appealing for the free hit for Great Britain, but nothing given.

Unsworth has done well. Maintains Great Britain's possession.

Bit of a scramble, but Great Britain come a way with it. Opportunities

here. Australia having to backtrack. Held up, Australia free hit. Lily

Owsley, when she is on the ball, she has phenomenal pace. She is an 800

metres and 1500 metres athlete, but was eventually picked up by England

and Great Britain Hockey. Alex Danson stretched the field very

well. Australia slow things down and

switch sides. It is just that final ball for Great

Britain that is letting them down. Sam Quek had won on the baseline,

and I think it was Nick White he was unable to trap the ball. Positive

signs, acting on the ball. Just over five minutes of the first

period to play. Great Britain zero, Australia zero.

This is the pool be match, between two old rivals. -- Pool B.

Nice hit from Nicola White. Still British possession. The ball falls

nicely for Helen Richardson-Walsh. Alex Danson with one of her familiar

bursting runs towards the circle. Alex Johnson just about keeping Team

GB in possession, but the green and gold are back to tidy up.

Alex Danson can be such a dangerous playmaker for Great Britain. She can

turn a match. Alex Johnson takes the shot, but it

is kicked away by The Australian Golf Club, Rachael Lynch. -- the

Australian goalkeeper. She is phenomenal on that site. Really good

to see her on the ball, high up the field, getting a shot at goal.

Tidied up by Web. The pass was less impressive.

The first period has been exciting from the first whistle. Just over

three minutes to play. Still no score. Great Britain zero, Australia

zero. Georgina Morgan, all the way back.

Good control, announced over the top of the Great Britain stick. --

bounced over. They have appealed for a penalty

corner. The umpire has nodded. Will there be a referral? Emily Smith

knew straightaway that it looks like it came off Crista Cullen's leg. We

are heading to the video umpire. Each side can have one video

referral per match. If they get it right they keep it, if they get it

wrong they lose it. Carol Mitchell is the video umpire. You can just

see that it comes up off Crista Cullen's stick and onto her legs, it

should not take Carol very long to make the decision.

There was a foul by Team GB. It hit the body, penalty corner. Australia

keep their referral. So it works out perfectly for Australia. They get

the penalty corner and they keep their referral. Time for the Team GB

girls to put on their face masks and protective gear and try to defend

this penalty corner. The Australians certainly have their a team on top

of the circle. Kate is a bosky will probably inject it, then they have

got Jodie Kenny and Georgina Morgan off the top, number seven and number

17. The likelihood is it will be Jodie Kenny who takes the first

corner of the tournament. But Australia have got some routines.

Yes, Casey Sablowski stepping over to deliver this penalty corner. She

will inject, then there will be a trap and a possible drag flick

attempt towards goal. Here we go, the first of the match. Just over

two minutes to play. In Australia go into the break with a 1-0 lead? A

brilliant, brave, defensive hit by Crista Cullen. But she is down on

the deck, and play will need to be stopped, it is Crista Cullen took

that hard. -- because. I do think there is a braver person

than the number one runner. She is absolutely warned that one. -- worn.

Crista Cullen is in a bit of trouble here. Bravely getting herself back

to her feet. She may spend the rest of the time on the bench getting him

attention. Arm or ribs? Hard as nails that one. Potentially boat. --

both. Just under two minutes of the first

quarter to play. Brilliant defence from Crista Cullen. Foyles the

Australian penalty corner. -- foils. Scores remain level with 90 seconds

to play. Australia fancy one more push towards the Great Britain goal.

I know there hasn't been any goals but it has been absorbing first

quarter. It hasn't been a overly cagey. From a British perspective,

it's been positive. None given. The final play for the

quarter. Four seconds left. The first period of play ends scoreless.

Great Britain Neal, Australia nil. We will be back with Mel and Matt

shortly for the start of the second quarter and in the meantime, welcome

to Copacabana. I never thought I would be saying that unlike

television. It is our wonderful studio here at the Rio Olympics.

Let's look at what is going on elsewhere. In the women's singles

tennis, Venus Williams is up against a Flipkens. The first set went to

Venus but Flipkens is right back in it, winning the second set. That is

available online for you right now. Elsewhere, there is a little bit of

weightlifting going on as well. This is a big tournament for China

because this is the women's 48 kg gold medal. China have won gold in

this event for the past two Olympic Games and should continue that run

to night. That is available on BBC Four. All these events are available

online as well. A bit of table tennis, that is available on the Red

Button. Many, many ways for you to keep in touch with the Olympics here

in Rio. To help you make even more of your

Rio 26 to Olympic Games, we have it all covered right here on the BBC.

Alongside coverage on BBC One, BBC Four and Radio 5 live, you can

access up to 24 live sports on the BBC Four website or by the Vic BBC

sport out on mobile. -- BBC app. If that is not enough, you can download

the BBC sport app. You can follow all your favourite sports.

Red Button, online, we have the Olympics covered. We are just about

to get the second quarter under way. Into the second quarter, Great

Britain in red. Hitting from right-to-left. Alex Danson involved

straightaway. No score yet. It has been an absorbing first period of

play. Crista Cullen took one in the ribs as she attempted to defend a

penalty corner. She is still on the bench. She is on the pitch at right

half. I just assumed that having taken that hit, she would not be

back for the second quarter but you are right, she is out there. From a

British point of view, in good shape.

It's good to see her out there. Obviously, she is tall and strong

but gives an aerial threat. Talking about aerial threat, an aerial ball

went into the stands. Not a very auspicious start for the second

period for Australia. Great Britain in possession.

The ball finds its way to Giselle Ansley.

A chance of a break forward. Plenty of red shirts in the circle, hoping

for a ball on foot. Still no penalty corner.

That is a poor pass. They had a chance for a shot. Brooke Peris has

had to double back. Emily Smith got caught in two minds

on whether to take the shot or passed to Brooke Peris.

Unfortunately for Australia, she made the wrong decision or took too

long to make one. Great Britain into the circle,

Australian feet flying everywhere at none for a penalty.

Australia had a a few basic mistakes early in the second period.

Australia with a chance to breathe. That wasn't so clever. They've

regained possession. The coach must be having kittens seeing an aerial

ball going pretty much across his own circle. Uncharacteristically

casual and careless start to the second period by the Hockeyroos.

Great Britain camped out in Australia's half of the field now.

Can they get some reward? Australia breaking through into

space. Lots of pace. Maddie Hinch of her line. Grace

Stewart penetrating all the way, forcing Maddie Hinch of her line.

Great goalkeeping. Another brave bit of defending from

Great Britain. It was Laura Unsworth they got in the way. She is OK, and

shrugs it off. She gets on with the game. This is the opportunity for

Grace Stewart. Grace Stewart, just as she comes towards Hollie Webb,

she manages to get the ball up in the air. As you said, Maddie Hinch,

so quick per goal line. She smothers any opportunity for great Jewett and

the Hockeyroos. -- Grace Stewart. Final match of the hockey tournament

today. Great Britain will need to recover.

A penalty corner for Australia. They are all a bit confused with the

stick dropped onto the turf. A result, the ball hit the British

thought. Australia will get a penalty corner.

Unfortunately for Giselle Ansley, Australia managed to put the ball

onto her foot for a penalty corner. Crista Cullen is on the field so she

will be running the ball down once again. Casey Sablowski will inject

for Australia. It was going wide anyway but I don't

Lyon her from not taking any chances. --I don't blame her.

Crista Cullen was their first again after taking one in the ribs after

the first penalty corner. Georgie Twigg bundled off the ball.

She would have got the free hit. Out of play. Too close to the

sideline. Helen Richardson-Walsh to Susannah

Townsend. A shot towards goal. A third party

obstruction. You have to play what the umpire

sees. I'm not 100% sure for that. Unfortunately for Great Britain,

that was almost a goal. No penalty corner given. Helen

Richardson-Walsh has gone hobbling over to the bench. Hopefully she

hasn't done too much damage. The doctor and physio are with her

already. Control from Unsworth. An excellent

first half. A spectacular push away by the Great

Britain goalkeeper Maddie Hinch. A fantastic touch from Mariah

Williams, someone of 19 years of age.

So far Great Britain able to absorb all the Australian pressure that has

come their way, including the two penalty corners.

Great Britain still in possession. They will have to retake that one.

Free hit and not in the correct way. Back they go.

play for Great Britain. Can they get the reward?

Good ball in by Kate Richardson-Walsh. Just needed the

centre-forward to post up on the edge of the circle. It is a

nightmare for an Australian defender to try to track the ball. All Great

Britain at the moment. At China's foray shot on goal! Great Britain,

first to score! Lily Owsley hits the target from close range.

The scoreboard shows Australia one, Great Britain zero, but that will

shortly be corrected. It is Great Britain one, Australian ill,

courtesy of Lily Owsley. Great ball in by Hollie Webb, and a touch from

Shona McCallin just inside the pretty five. That is a cool, calm

finish by Lily Owsley. You can see what it means to the team. Rachael

Lynch has been a spectator for most of the first half, and is now

picking the ball out of the back of the net. Just over four minutes

until half-time. Cool head is required from Great Britain. They

would love to go into the extended break with the one goal advantage.

Penalty corner, straight after the goal was scored. Australia back on

the attack. They get the reward, their third penalty corner of the

game. I think she has a fair point. It is a fantastic piece of skill by

Emily Smith. As harsh as this is going to sound, Kate

Richardson-Walsh has been done by skill. She has not liberally taken

Smith out of the game, but it was the Miss trap by Sam Quek that led

for that opportunity for Australia. It is an opportunity for them to get

back on level terms almost immediately. Third penalty corner of

the match for the hockey ruse. -- Hockeyroos. They failed to convert

on the two tedious attempts. It will be Casey Sablowski to inject again.

Here it goes. Australia looking for a way through. Off the post and out!

Goodness me. So close. Georgina Morgan's drag flick hit the

woodwork. Going for a different option with

Georgina Morgan, but Hannah Macleod does well to cover one side. But

that has absolutely gone flying. I am not sure Laura Unsworth got a

touch on that as the Post player. Great Britain need to hold

possession, with three and a half minutes until half-time. Australia

have it, though. They will throw everything at the final minutes of

this first half. Too strong. Adam Cummins Burke in the shot. He

has got his work cut out at half-time to get his Australian team

firing, because he will be the first to admit they have not started the

tournament the way they would want to. Yes, there is a long way to go,

we all mode that, but it is important to get points on the board

as soon as you possibly can. -- we all know that. Great Britain come

again. Not content with a 1-0 lead at half-time, they want to add to

that and make it two. The umpire explaining her decision.

She wants its taken from outside the 23 metre line. That means Hollie

Webb can play the ball directly into the circle if she wants to.

A 2-0 lead at half-time would be a magnificent effort from Great

Britain. As they try to force the way through, Australia get

possession. So important for Great Britain that they go in at half-time

with the lead. Danny Kerry has got his tactics spot on today. The girls

have executed everything he has wanted from them. What he will not

be satisfied. He will want more from the squad in the second half. Not

the cleanest hit. Sam Quek with a chance to leave that, and let a view

second stick away off the clock. --A view second is tick away. --

REFEREE:. Australia have more than a meet its

to finish the half with a flourish. Inside the final 60 seconds.

Australia go all the way back to Georgina Morgan, who came closest of

all in this first half for Australia. Great Britain clear their

lines once again. They need to maintain possession. It will be a

British it from the sideline. Good hustling. Good tackling. And

the countdown for the final ten seconds began. The team know that it

is nearly over. (SIREN BLARES). There it is, the end of an absorbing

first half, which has seen Australia take three penalty corners, but with

no reward. And the Great Britain goal coming courtesy of Lily Owsley.

It has been a fantastic first half. There is more to come. At the break,

Great Britain lead Australia by 1-0. Well, we did tell you which would it

worth staying up for. Well done to Team GB. A fantastic start for them.

Liao 's Lee is one of the sport's rising stars, winning an award just

a few months ago. -- Lily Owsley. She plays her hockey for Birmingham.

After this, it is time to dive into the pool.

So, this is how we are lining up this evening. The men's 400 metres

individual medley final. Max Litchfield taking part in that, that

is about two o'clock. The women's 100 metres butterfly, that is at a

quarter past. Then the women's 100 metres butterfly semi-final, the

second one. Then the men's 400 metres freestyle, where James Guy is

hoping for glory tonight. At 2:49am the women's 400 metres individual

medley. Keep your eyes out for Hannah Miley and Aimee Wilmott. Two

more semifinals in the men's stroke, when we will see Ross Murdoch. Van

Adam Peaty in the men's 100 metres breast Rick second semi-final. Then

the women's 400 metres freestyle semi-final. We now turn our

attention to the men's gymnastics. There have been lots of events

today, both in the team and the individual. David McDaid has been

keeping an eye on that for us. Let us begin with the big names. How did

Max Whitlock do today? Max Whitlock is simply Great Britain's gymnastics

superstar these days. He is a world champion, he established that in

Glasgow last November, and he came here with hopes of the first-ever

British gymnastics gold medal. Well, today he was part of that team

qualifying, as well as the individual apparatus, fine. He began

very well on the floor. He got four scores of 15. Then into the pommel

horse. We really hope that him all the Smith can get the first of the

Olympic men's gold. Whitlock did very well, he got a score of 15.8 to

leave him top in that qualification standings. So he is looking in

really good shape to get that first ever gold. He did have a couple of

slipups later on in his routine on the vault, where he got below 14.

Then he had a fall in high bar. That left him 12th in the all-round

standings. Certainly something to work on for him. What about the rest

of the team and Lewis Smith, who we saw at the end of that routine?

Well, Whitlock at 15.8 to top the pommel horse standing, Lewis Smith

was only one tenth behind him to get 15.7. It is really between Lewis

Smith and Max Whitlock, whipping, for the gold-medal. Hopefully it

will be a British 1-2. He only had the one job to do and he certainly

did it, helping the team. Elsewhere we had seven medal chances in the

individual and packed as finals, because Max Whitlock is joined by

Nile Wilson, who, fired second top 40 high bar. Whitlock goes into the

floor final alongside Kristian Thomas. So there are seven chances

for an individual medal here. Obviously in Glasgow in the

Commonwealth Games, gymnastics, so many fantastic formance is from the

home nations. What about the team events? -- fantastic performances.

Well, Great Britain qualified 15th, which is a good achievement in

itself. What we have seen here tonight is that the other nations

that Great Britain beat to that silver championship medal in

Glasgow, such as China and the United States, have really improved

their Games and is November. We had China topping the standings, USA

second, and then Great Britain. Great Britain have some work to do,

let's make no mistake about that. But there are areas that they can

put right on Monday. All they have to do is get back onto the tear, and

do what they did, maybe a little bit better, and perhaps another Olympic

team medal can be bears. David, thank you. Did to talk to you.

The women's gets away -- gets under way tomorrow. Let's remind you of

today's big stories here at Rio 2016. Adam Peaty sets the world

record in the 100 metres breast stroke each. His semi-final is

coming up later. Not to be for Great Britain in the men's Road race.

Correct Thomas crashing out and Chris Froome never really in it. The

race was won by Belgium's Greg Van Abernant. Well done to him. Great

Britain's men's hockey team, thrashed bite Welch, by 4-1. --

thrashed by Belgium. American Jimmy Thrasher won the first gold medal of

the Olympic teams, with a surprise victory in the women's ten metres

air rifle. And the Brazilian Philippe Woo won silver, the first

medal for the hosts in the men's ten metres at pistol. -- air pistol.

Before we return to the hockey, let's show you what life is like in

the Olympic Village. So many athletes living side by side.

Here we are at the athletes village. There are about 10,000 athletes from

more than 200 countries around the world. This is their first step to

winning an elliptic gold, not least for our friends Team GB. Let's see

how they are getting on. The Rugby sevens girls are in the

house. They seem to be in good spirits. Why wouldn't they be? They

have got union jack deckchairs down here. Mark, I love what you've done

with the place. The great thing about an Olympic Village is that you

pretty much get a bare space and it is your allotment to do what you

like with. Who let Mark Gleghorn in? A purveyor, give us a wave, guys.

Haven't you got work to do? We will see you down here in a jiffy.

Spirits seem good. Yes, it is a great buzz. Everybody is excited and

really pleased to be here. Welcome to Rio. How are you finding it? It

is great, the place is amazing. We are getting started in 80 days and

it has come really quickly. We are looking forward to it. Could to see

it. -- good to see you. What is great about the Village is that if

you ever get lost, just follow the flags. Look at it, we have Canada

back there, looking loud and proud. Over here we have got the

Scandinavian quarter, including Denmark, Finland and Sweden, who

were very welcoming as we walked past. Over here we have got Portugal

download, and up top, Slovenia, feeling the love. Very good.

That is lovely. This is a sport that will be used quite a lot. We have

set it up with 12 to 15 beds. We would have of baht of treatment

during the day as we get into the games. All sports are encouraged to

use it. This way. Look! There is a person hiding in here! You never

know who you will find. Hello? Is there they are. Good to see you. I

have to ask you about these guys. Look at them. Your team. It's a

tight group, isn't it? It's great. We train and compete together. We

have done for years. This is our sixth trip out here. As the Olympic

squad so we have been bonding really well. So far we haven't had any

major issues. Here we are. I have got two, haven't I? It's just been

changed today. And now, tainted. If it's anything like London,... Team

GB are going to be taking their sheets home with them. We shall see.

There you have it, the village in all its glory. By the sounds of it,

according to the athletes, Team GB is definitely ready.

It is a terrific Olympic Village. It's a great Olympic Games. Let's go

back to our commentary team. Intercepted by Great Britain but

clutched back by Australia. What Great Britain have done well

this evening is that they have protected the middle of the field.

They are more than happy for Australia to have the ball out wide.

They can use the sideline as another defender.

Australia have the pace but not the cleanest cross. A bit of a let off.

Kathryn Slattery again. She is a world-class, old school forward,

better going towards closer goal. Get those tips and touches. Another

youngster that has a lot to learn in the game. She was Australia's top

goalscorer in the Australian stroke the championship. -- in the Trophy

championship. Australia in the corner. Looking for

a way out. Kate Richardson-Walsh involved in a

dialogue with the umpire about what she can and can't hear. A bit quiet

in here this afternoon. Australian fans certainly aren't making much

noise. 8000 capacity in this stadium. A penalty corner. First of

the second half. It has gone Australia's way. It will be there

for. They have yet to strike with any of their previous three. A

huddle. Great Britain just switched off

there. Laura Unsworth thought the ball may not have hit her foot but

from the replay, not so. Australia's best chance to equalise! A great

goal. Put away by Georgina Morgan who hit the post in the first half.

She finds the target early in the second half. This could be what puts

Australia in the medal chances. Georgina Morgan, as we said, she hit

the post in the first half. This one steps up.

You can't really read too much into it. When Great Britain scored their

first goal, that was exactly the same face that the coach had. There

is still a long way to go. The gigabits girls have been playing

really well. -- the gigabits goals. Great Britain get away with it, it

was often Australian sport. -- it was off and an Australian foot.

Australia push towards the circle. It is tidied up.

Good work for Great Britain. Into space. So much ground covered by

Giselle Ansley. She tidies things up, slows things down. Kate

Richardson-Walsh. Maddie Hinch able to boot it away to

save it. I am not really sure why the corner

has been given. Lots of shrugging shoulders around

the commentary positions here. Nobody is really sure about this. It

was probably hinge kicking the ball away and it hit an Australian

athlete. -- Hinch. The last time they got a penalty corner, Morgan

was able to hit the target. Pushed wide. Off an Australian

stick. As far as Great Britain is concerned, the danger is over,

temporarily at least. Great corner defence. Fortunately for Team GB,

Georgina Morgan was off the pitch. It makes it easier for the defensive

team. Good pace from great return down the

left. -- Great Britain. Eight minutes of the third period to

play. Australia have stolen it. Terrific defence. The captain, Kate

Richardson-Walsh. The chance of a British opportunity.

Snuffed out by Australia who tracked back in numbers. Australia have

upped their intensity. The passing of Great Britain in the first half

was brilliant. Stick to stick, fast. Now they just seem to be getting the

hurry up a little bit by Australia and as a result, players are

beginning to run with the ball more. Crista Cullen. Crista Cullen having

to do some more work. A bit of a high ball. Great Britain

with a free hit. Shoulder charged off the ball. Penalty corner Great

Britain! They got one at last! To be fair to the umpire, it's exactly the

same as Kate Richardson-Walsh and Emily Smith.

For me, that is no different to Kate Richardson-Walsh. In fact, that is

more dangerous. She gets past Madonna Blyth, she gets a shot at

goal. UMPIRE: I have no reason to change

my decision. No more video referrals. Almost as

silly referral by Australia. Georgie Twigg will inject the ball

for Great Britain. They're lined up. Helen

Richardson-Walsh is there. Jodie Kenny makes a fantastic save

as the post player. Looks as though she stepped in front of Lynch.

Player down. A crack of ball on head. Crista Cullen in the wars

again. A yellow flag! It is for Bone of Australia.

It is just dangerous. Edwina Claire Bone. She will miss the rest of the

third quarter. No penalty corners for the first half and two in quick

succession for the second. Lots of discussion between players

and umpire. UMPIRE: What are you asking for? Are

you asking for a corner? I'll ask. Great Britain heading upstairs. Team

video referral for Great Britain. They think they deserve another

penalty corner. It is off and Australian sport. She feels it is an

obstruction on Casey Sablowski. It worked out well for Great

Britain. upheld. They keep their video

referral, and they have a penalty corner.

What a lively second-half this has been so far. Georgie Twigg takes up

the second position, and the Australians get booted and suited,

ready to try to defend this. Could be third time lucky for Great

Britain. I think they need to look for a variation, rather than

straight off the top. APPLAUSE. Saved, this time. No luck

in the three penalty corner attempts for Great Britain. They still have

possession. A fairly routine save for Rachael

Lynch. Crista Cullen tried to disguise it with her body and aim as

though she was looking to go to the gloves side, and roll it stick side,

but it didn't come off for her. Kate Richardson-Walsh. Crista

Cullen. Off the Australian stick, and over the backline, just in front

of Helen Richardson-Walsh. Georgie Twigg trying to put a

Pennetta to the shot through. But Kate Richardson-Walsh runs the

entire length of the pitch to pick this one up.

This really is an opportunity for Great Britain to put Australia under

pressure with Edwina Bones out on the side.

11 versus ten at the moment. Australia with a chance to put

pressure on Great Britain's hole here. -- goal. Out of play, off the

British stick. This is dangerous from Australia!

Backhand shot finds the goal. No. Claxton, with the attempt. Fantastic

skills. She almost gets a double clutch. Otherwise I think that would

have been going for the goal. Hinch is there, out of the corner of

Claxton's die, she would have seen Hinch coming at Perth. -- Claxton's

eye. Desperate measures from both teams.

Scrapping on the turf. Hasn't got the fluidity of the first half from

either side, really. Yes, it has all got a bit anxious.

Ambitious stuff from Kate Richardson-Walsh, looking for Alex

Danson. But she couldn't deal with the pace of that long past.

Great Britain still have one player over, remember. Into the circle.

A quality piece of skill by Sophie Bray to lift the ball over the

Australian defender's stick. Australia will not do any damage

here, but they have kept the ball in Australia's carved during the time

Edwina is on the bench. -- Australia's half.

Dad on goal, must score! Alex Danson! A backhand goal from Alex

Danson, an absolute beauty! Danson does what she does best. I don't

know about you, but I thought she had missed the opportunity. Susannah

Townsend does really well. A great ball by Laura Unsworth here, and

left by Shona McCallin. I thought Alex Danson was just going to roll

her in. Didn't quite get the touch she wanted, but onto that backhand,

she doesn't miss anything on that. An absolute all that. -- bullet.

Well done, Team GB. Alex Danson's 90th goal for her country, in her

256th appearance. A problem with the clocks, it took a

few seconds to restart. Just a couple of minutes of the third

period to play. Australia trailed 2-1. Looking for the penalty corner,

but none given. So important that they hold this lead into three

quarters time. Real concentration needed for just over a minute and a

half. Australia keep the pressure up. Held

up just on the edge of the circle. Must be cleared for Great Britain as

they tried to escape from the Australian attack.

Into the last 60 seconds of the third period. Great Britain two,

Australia one. Australia attempting one final

assault on Great Britain's goal. Kenny, off the gigabits stick and

away. -- the Team GB stick. Surely Great Britain will just do in up to

keep this one goal lead, heading into the break at the end of the

third period, with a final 15 minutes segment to come. The last

ten seconds of the quarter. By way and behind. Great Britain in front,

courtesy of a brilliant backhand goal from Alex Danson. (SIREN

BLARES). Great Britain two, Australia one.

A big final quarter coming up. A fantastic goal from Alex Danson, act

for the final quarter very shortly. We will bring you up to date with

what has been happening in weightlifting. A bit of an upset in

this, the latest gold medal to be awarded tonight in weightlifting in

the women's 48 kg. A mammoth final of the over two hours and multiple

lifts. And the Golem -- gold medal going to

Thailand. The 21-year-old lifted 92 kg in the snatch.

And then 108 kilograms Indy clean and jerk for a combined total of 200

kilograms. Fantastic, look at that. That is an upset, because China have

won gold in that event in the last two Olympics. Well done to her. Paul

Genco of Team GB through to the men's singles of table tennis. He

beat Alexandre Karas a bitch of Serbia. He lost the first game

before coming back strongly to progress. Well done to Paul

Drinkhall. The wonderful thing about being on this remarkable beaches

that even at this time there are still people playing sport here.

There are some children playing a bit of beach football today. And

further down Copacabana, you might be able to see the Beach Volleyball

Arena. That is it, it is lit up right at the end of the beach. If

there is a better sporting venue on the planet right now I would love to

see it. I popped down there this morning to watch Italy, the first

match in the men's volleyball. Italy against Austria. This is what is

happening right now. You can watch this, it is available on BBC Four,

and also online. Poland is taking on Germany. Meanwhile, back at the

hockey centre, we return to the final quarter.

Which has just got under way. Great Britain two, Australia one. 15

minutes of intense hockey to play in this will be match between the two

great rivals. -- Pool B. Australia are the Commonwealth champions, and

Great Britain winning the Olympic bronze medal in London 2012.

Australia three times Olympic champions. 1988, 1996 and 2000.

Great Britain's women have never won an Olympic gold.

Most recently the women took the bronze in London. But they showed

real form last year in the global championships. Coming down from 2-0

to beat the Netherlands in a dramatic penalty shootout. And they

are ahead of mighty Australia here, on day one of the Olympic hockey

tournament. Courtesy of two great goals, one from Lily Owsley and the

second from Alex Danson. Deliberate yellow card. Edwina

Claire Bone again. Onto the bench for the second time. Bone has had

more time sitting down then she has had on her feet in this match.

Another five-minute sin bin infringement for an Edwina Barton.

-- Edwina Bone. When you start to see Australia losing their

discipline it is another thing that gives you confidence. Asking for a

penalty corner, the umpire having none of it. I think it is a tough

one for Great Britain now, Australia would add Edwina Bone on the

sideline down to ten players again. Do you push for the third goal, or

do you keep it? Do you keep the ball around the back, keep passing key

players? Or do you settle for 2-1 and try to wait it out? A third goal

would probably win it the Great Britain now.

The Australian coach looks a little impatient. Adam Commens sets high

standards for his team 's. He is an axe Kookaburra himself, so he knows

what it is like to play on the international stage. --

ex-Kookaburra. The Kookaburra is being the nickname of the men's

team. The ladies are known as the Hockeyroos. And they are currently

trailing Team GB by one goal. They are one player down.

Great Britain's men did not have a good start to their tournament

earlier today, beaten 4-1 by Belgium on this pitch. They started at

12:30pm in the searing heat. It was 36 degrees pitch site. It is still

warm now, but much more pleasant. Kenny, that is a good pass. All the

way across the field on the diagonal, to Emily Smith, who holds

it up. Bouncing off the shin of Emily

Smith, and out of play. Crista Cullen goes over to maybe launch one

Hy Mac. -- launch one high. That was risky by Crista Cullen. What was she

thinking? I have no idea. Sam Quek is in acres of space on the

right-hand side. Hinch, off her line, is probably the saving grace.

All Crista Cullen needed to do was exactly what she did, and aerial

ball, but down the line. A good opportunity for Great

Britain. I think Lily Owsley was caught in

two minds. In training, early Owsley would have just smashed it into that

back of the net. -- Lily Owsley. Great Britain lead Australia by two

goals to one. That is more like it. Just making

Australia work for it. Great Britain making a few too many

casual errors in this final period. First from Crista Cullen, the most

notable one, almost letting in the Australian forwards for a call. --

goal. Now they can settle things down with

Captain Kate Richardson-Walsh. So important that when Great Britain

wins the ball that they keep possession. They just keep giving it

back to Australia. As a result, the Great Britain forward to having to

come further and further up. It is all the way down field. A few more

seconds taken off the clock for great written. Daish Great Britain.

Trying to snuff out the Australian defence. The whistle had already

gone otherwise Claxton may have been in trouble. She will get spoken to

anyway. UMPIRE: When I blow my whistle, you

have to stop play. Is so important that Team GB keep

their heads calm. Know that the clock is ticking down. Stick to your

gameplan, keep the ball wide. No need to do anything silly, try

anything special. Good pass. Sadly, a little too deep for Helen

Richardson-Walsh. The Australian supporters are trying

to raise the morale of their players. Here they come.

It's all getting a little bit frantic. You can hear the voices of

the players. Susannah Townsend performing a

clever juggling act. Whenever Danson is on the ball,

there is an air of anticipation that she might produce a bit of magic to

switch the scoreline again. Four minutes to play.

It's just much better from great Britain.

Putting the Australian defence under pressure. If you can turn the ball

over higher up the field you have less distance to run. Australia

coming forward. Once again, the Australia attack is

snuffed out. Another minute taken off the clock.

An aerial ball all the way back. Taken out of the air. Good control

this time from Australia. Too strong. Out of play. Those of

the things I find uncharacteristic by Australia. Simple passes, really,

they should be going stick to stick without any problems at all.

Sam Quek confused as to the whereabouts of the ball. What a

save! Maddie Hinch denying Brooke Peris. Look Paris, brilliant

turnover. -- Brooke Peris. Maddie Hinch has been on fire

tonight. A penalty corner for Australia! One

minute and 49 seconds on the clock. It is almost a bully -ish tactics

from Australia. Mariah Williams gets the ball on Ainsley again. I thought

they might have been a foul on Kate Richardson-Walsh but she didn't

refer it. Georgina Morgan is on the field that is corner with Jodie

Kenny. -- on the field for this corner.

Kathryn Slattery to reject for Australia. Australia poised.

Behind. Off target that time, Australia. I think they were looking

for a deflection by Gabi Nance on the far right hand side. She has got

to get a touch on that. The amount of times they would have practised

back in training. She got in front of Maddie Hinch and

Richardson-Walsh. She looks scared, almost.

Australia back in their own half. The last 60 seconds of this match.

Australia are running out of time and opportunities.

All 11 great British players. Back in the corner. The appeals for a

penalty corner fell on deaf ears. That is out of play. That could be

the final instalment of this match. The clock is reaching the 15 second

mark. Great Britain are in possession.

It's all over. Great Britain has got their Olympic hockey tournament off

to the dream start. Defeating their old rivals Australia. Goals from

Lily Owsley and Alex Danson. That is a terrific performance from

Team GB. Remember our men's side was worth it by Belgium earlier today,

4-1. Let's turn to swimming. Finals coming up. Four years of sacrifice.

Four years. The aquatics centre is located in the southern region of

rear. We are with Helen Skelton. Are you pump? We are psyched up. There

have been some dancers, Brazilian drums. -- samba. I was doing salsa

around the table. Why wouldn't you? Seven British swimmers booked

herself into the semifinals tonight. What are you excited about? It was

great to see PBS. James Guy, Max Litchfield. It was not to be -- what

is not to be excited about? This morning, no point in writing him

off, not his best time. As we say, we are critical. We look at when

people look in the water. He went out well and struggled a bit towards

the end. When it got tight at the end, he had to fight. It didn't look

like he had a lot left but it is a heat and he has had a lot of rest

this afternoon, time to think and recover. I think this is a silly

thing to say but is unable to swim better in the afternoon. This

morning, he is one of 345, 31 is a pity to exactly the same thing last

year at World Championships, came in the evening and picked up a silver

metal. -- -- medal. We love repeating things. It looked a key

tried hard this morning. I hope it is tactics and blown it out of the

water. James is not the only person can get himself the podium this

afternoon. Let's talk to Sharon Davies who is

down there in the mix. Sharon, what did you make of this wins? What a

fantastic year. I can see whether my shoulder. I thought that Hannah's

swim was really good. Hannah was six in the Olympics in London. I hope

she gets a medal because she deserves it. They look really good.

We saw that the Hungarian and nearly broke the world record this morning,

she did not quite manage to do it. Both of them, I do not want to

discredit Ross, but Adam had a bit of a point to prove. I think we were

all kind of talking about as the were going on. That is just what

Adam does. He is so confident. He swings a great race and he just

looks so confident as well. He is flying the flag for the city of

Sheffield, Max Litchfield. Thank you. Really looking forward to this

first final. There is the fourth fastest qualifier for this final,

from the USA. Then there are the two Japanese. In three, he is returning

from the Olympics in London. For me, I think has a cracking chance at a

medal here are. -- here. He looked really very good in the heats. You

are right. For me, he is a guy that delivers. Chase Kalisz coming out

here for the United States. Very interesting with two Japanese and

two Americans in three, four, five and six. They will have been sitting

in the waiting room for this big moment, the first gold medal to be

delivered in the Paul. We should talk quickly about Max Litchfield of

Sheffield in Britain. A magnificent performance to qualify for this

final. He was fifth in the European Championships just 80 weeks ago.

Quite outstanding and Great Britain have sent a first warning, almost

perfect. This is the 400 metre individual medley. Litchfield is in

lane two. Chase Kalisz surrounded by the Japanese in lane four. - going

for it Lane five. --I am going for Lane five. Chase Kish did a best

time to qualify this morning. -- Chase Pallin.

A great opportunity this. The fastest eight men in the world here

in the final as Rio of the 400 metres men's individual medley.

The length of butterfly, to backstroke, and then to freestyle.

--2 lengths of butterfly, too much length of backstroke, too much

length of freestyle. Going out with them. As expected,

the 22-year-old Japanese. As I said before, for me, he is a man that can

cope with the big pressure. The American delivered the fastest time

to qualify. I am not sure if he has any more in him. Brilliant stuff

from Seito. The Japanese are looking very, very strong. The Australian is

on the outside of that shot in the right-hand lane. Great Britain's Max

Litchfield app in late two year is going strong. He is still up in

about fifth position. It is very tight for third, fifth and sixth.

Both Japanese men are using big fly kicks, almost all 15 metres they are

allowed. Backstroke in, he is actually coached by the Olympic

gold-medallist breaststroke champion. If he can hold the lead to

the best stroke lead, he will be strong. I think the American will be

surprised that the Japanese are this far ahead. Happy halfway make of the

final of this 400 metres individual men's relay. Here is absolutely

charging in the centre. The black there. Seito or the other swimmer, I

am not sure. They are all coming up together. Seito has maybe caught

Hagino. Has Hagino got enough left in the tank? Is going to be Hagino

who is first to turn. -- it is going to be. It is not an awful lot, .7

for a second. Hagino leads, third is Seito. This is going to be one hell

of a final. Kalisz is one hell of a freestyler. He trains with Michael

Phelps. But Hagino is holding on. I tell you what though, Kalisz is

coming back. Hagino is watching him, he is breathing to the right. Kalisz

is also breathing to the right. Goodness me, Hagino looks like he is

going to win the first final of this 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Is going

to be gold to Japan ex, Hagino Japan. Gold and bronze to the

Japanese, and the silver to Kalisz. Max Litchfield comes in fourth, a

brilliant swim for Great Britain. That is just outside the British

record. Max Litchfield having a brilliant swim, you could not ask

for more. Fourth place, he would be disappointed, but the three men in

the centre were really pushing and driving this race. Hagino really

driving this race. Seito really took over on the backstroke and never

looked back. He had to finish off a very strong finish from Kalisz. --

it had to hold off a very strong finish. There is the first gold

medal to Japan, to a man who broke his elbow at the World Championships

on the training track. Before the last World Championships, he could

not swim. What a fantastic start to the Olympics in Rio. Hagino with the

first gold medal, Kalisz second for the USA, and Seito in a brilliant

third place. There you go, the first gold medal in this in full at the

Rio 2006 Olympics goes to Japan. It was such a close race. It was Max

Litchfield's first final ever and he has done to personal-best times. He

has just got such a bright future. Are you a little bit worried that

when he came out this morning, that it was going to be difficult for him

to back up that Berlin performance this morning? To make the final was

his Olympic stated aim, and then to just get in there and see what

happened. He was the best of the rest. It was a really grown up

mature swim and he can take a lot of confidence from that. Max Litchfield

was a European Junior championship winner earlier this year. Lets look

ahead to the women's. The defending Olympic champion in the American, is

anyone going to get her? She was the European champion at 14 years of

age. She came to the Olympic Games and came fourth and she did not

perform very well, if she is on form, I would say that they could

push her. Would be fed to say that she is almost a victim of her own

success? She has Way too many events. Let's hear from Max

Litchfield nail. I am very happy. To personal-bests in a day. -- too much

personal bests. There are always things you can go back on end work

on. I can definitely do better there. Yeah, there is definitely a

place to improve. Is great to see you swimming so well. Well done. She

is. Huge congratulations to Max

Litchfield. It is time now for the women's 100 metres butterfly

semifinals. Thank you. You join us when they are just introducing the

Hungarians,. -- the Hungarian swimmer. A truly valiant swimmer. I

cannot believe that he actually thought he was going to come here

and come forth. I am not sure if he could really do much about that, so

I think that Max Litchfield has to feel proud about what he has

achieved. I am not sure that he could have got third. I think that

was a great result, to be effectively the best European. He

won the European Championships by an absolute streak of time. There is

the third fastest qualifier for this semi-final. A fantastic butterfly

swimmer from the USA, and her teammates Vollmer, the Olympic

champion, will grow in lane four. She has taken time out to have a

baby since then. She looks in super shape. She has had great form since

she came back after two years out. She has been getting better and

better with every swim, and is a very experienced competitor. She was

only 12 in the Sydney Olympics, she did not qualify. She is a very

dangerous competitor, I believe. She has won very well, bit the swim in

number five. That was in the US trials. This is not an easy thing to

do. You get yourself down, ready to go in the start-up pulls you back.

-- and the starter Paul is Denmark having a very good start. --

Jeanette Watson. That was close. Few are allowed to do that much. Three

from the top, Jeanette Watterson, the 28 rolled, -- 28-year-old.

We saw her do the same this morning. Talk about the wheels coming. Very

heavy on the shoulders and the arms in the last 15 metres. Here it is,

Dana Vollmer, a great turn from the second American swimmer. She is 16

hundredths of a second faster at the 50 metres and she was this morning,

and she really attracted to this morning. Kelsi Worrell coming back,

one lane closer to us in the blackout. Very close with Ikee, very

close. She has just watched her teammates go gold and bronze on

before and metres medley. Now she has won the first semi-final of the

women's 100 metres butterfly. Dana Vollmer second, Ottesen bird. --

third. Not that quick, that is dangerous. Yes, it will be

interesting how they get on in the second semi-final. Dana Vollmer

struggling a bit towards the end. Ikee is not even in the shot. I am

sure that hundreds of second that she took in semi-final was inspired

by the men in that first race. The 16-year-old Japanese competitor,

just a little touch like that, just enough. All of the heads were down,

no breeding inside the last five metres. -- breathing. Rikako Ikee of

Japan wins it, Dana Vollmer second, Jeanette Ottesen bird. -- third.

We will be back with the guys for the second semi-final in a minute,

but we have been joined by Justin Rose. Hello! You are here for the

goal. Well, not for the golf, obviously. Such a good event. This

is your first swimming gala. What do you make of it so far? Unbelievable.

This is my first ever Olympic event experience will stop why have never

seen one before, I missed out on London 2012 as both a spectator and

a player. This is amazing, the energy. I have been driving past the

Village or weeks, it is great to finally experience it. I have been

following you on Twitter, it is great to see you getting excited

about everything. I expect you have an answer to this, but there are

some obvious notable absences in the Gulf steam. What made you want to

come? Since it was announced probably three or four years ago I

have been very excited. My wife is a former Olympic gymnast. She was

always hoping that golf would become an Olympics board. I am excited

about it. I truly believe in it. I believe it can help grow the game,

showcase the game. Obviously it is the pinnacle of most sports. So why

not for us as well. Is the wife with you? She gets in on Monday. I

suppose for you it is a completely different experience. You are in a

big team environment, whereas normally, you are relatively on your

own? Yes, it is a very individual sport we play. That is why I wanted

to get to Rio for the opening ceremony. The march out with Team

GB, it made you feel like something much bigger than your own individual

sport. Did you enjoy it? It was amazing. The Maracana Stadium,

500,000 people, great atmosphere. Everybody was so happy. It is so

cool to be in a place where there are so many different cultures and

nationalities, but everybody is connected by sport. You hoping this

evening that by watching the swimmers, that if you get in the

water you will be out a bit easier? Yes, if you clip the water, it is

like a bunker shot. We do try to skim across the water. He loves the

term "Snatching the water". He loves it. I have so much respect for these

guys. I took my first couple of swimming lessons this year. It was

so hard. Why didn't you come with us? I am not on that level. We know

that Mark can talk about golf. He is in far less need of golfing lessons

than I am in need of swimming lessons. Watch this space, I'm sure

there will be a charity relief coming on. Right, time for the

second semi-final. Thank you. A fascinating chat that

was, I have to say. There will be lots of offers for free swimming

lessons, I am sure. Straight into the second semi-final of the women's

100 metres butterfly. Kenny Lexia, the 16-year-old from Canada. A huge

talent. World junior record this morning. World junior recordholder

in five, and world junior recordholder in four.

She looked a bit rough this morning. A bit rusty. Just warming up, just

getting through cobwebs. As many metaphors as you like. I thought she

looked a bit nervous. I saw her in the training session a few days ago.

She looked a bit... I don't know. Scared would be a strong word.

Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden, her first semi wasn't particularly quick.

Second semi-final of the women's 100 metres butterfly. The world champion

and the world recordholder, Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden. She has had a

decent start. Also a good start is Lou of China, in lane three. The

silver-medallist from eight years ago. It counts a lot, four years of

training. It is a long time to deliver. In lane two, it met Ian of

Australia. From a very strong seeming family. -- McKeon of

Australia. Her father, uncle and mother are also swimmers from

Australia. McKeon is going very well in two. A great swim from her. Now,

with 25 metres to go, Sarah Sjostrom starting to turn the burners on.

This looks very good indeed. Look at that world record one. The world

record is hers. Just outside it. Two tenths of a second outside it. A new

Olympic record for Sarah Sjostrom. She just looked like she turned on

the gas bar 25 metres to go. She is much more relaxed now. Look at that

face. Rarely do set it, a very deceptive swim from Sjostrom. --

really deceptive, a very deceptive swim. She started off slowly,

building into the race. McKeon taking the first 50 metres, and

Sjostrom doing enough, then winding it up with 50 metres to go. She just

extended that lead. Right here, she is nearly three quarters ahead of

the rest of the field. That was reversed within 20 metres.

It just looks like she turned the gas up a little bit, didn't she? She

decided it was time to go, and she went. That will do her confidence

lots of good, going into the final as the faster swim. -- fastest

swimmer. We said it was a bit dangerous in the first Semi, not

particularly fast. Let's look at the Times. The second semi-final, a very

fast Olympic record, 55.8. The first five have made it, which means Kelsi

Worrell -- Kelsi Worrell of the USA is not in the final.

Sjostrom first, McKeon second. One whole second ahead, that is

extraordinary. And the massive news, no Kelsi Worrell of the USA.

A new Olympic record for Sarah Sjostrom. We will be seeing what's

more of her this week, she is very fast indeed, very impressive. She

will be one of the standout stars of the Games. Speaking of standout

stars, Justin, when you walk around the Village, you are Robbie Serie A

sportsmen at a certain level. What is it like when you see, I mean, who

are the people you get starstruck by? Of course. What impresses me is

trying to walk around the Village, guessing what other people do,

looking at different body shapes and different body types. You think,

that is a sprinter, that is a gymnast. You admire all the

different types of athletes that there are in the Village. Everybody

has something to admire. What do you make of the golf course? I see it

tomorrow for the first time. My caddie checked it out today, he

really likes it, it is in great shape. They have built it from

scratch, you never really know what you are going to get. Everybody is

positive about it. Don't tell him when you are going, because you only

need to look at the colour of his feet to know that you love a golf

course. Because they are so white? Yes, you have a permanent golf turn.

So what sport would Helen Skelton beat, then, if you have been

identifying people in the Village? Be careful. I note is post-

watershed, but we are straining in dangerous territory. Let's turn our

attention to James Guy. 400 metres freestyle final. We have spoken

about him maybe not being the happiest blood this morning, but how

confident are you that he can do something in this final? I think

from the championships last year, he went for a similar time to be final.

He is doing exactly that tonight. Hopefully, fingers crossed, he will

drop two seconds like he did. We will hopefully see him do a personal

best. That will set him up for the 200 metres freestyle, which is

arguably his better even. That is coming up tomorrow. It is good for

him to get in the water and hopefully get a medal. We have to

talk about Sun Yang, the reigning Olympic champion. He is a boy with a

chequered four years, fair to say. He served three months of a drugs

ban, drugs ban that was not actually until after he had served it. He

spent a week in jail for drink-driving following a car crash

in 2013. He has dominated this event at the last two World Championships,

and he is the reigning Olympic champion. There has been plenty

going on and out of the pool with him splashing potential opponents.

There is plenty to talk about when it comes to Sun Yang. Will James Guy

get distracted by that? I don't think so. You don't Google those

stories. As much as it is happening, James Guy will want to focus on his

race. Andy, Adrian, talk us through this one.

Thank you, Helen. You have joined us just as James Guy, world champion of

the 200 metres freestyle, silver-medallist last year, enters

the 400 metres. He is wearing his big coat. He is going to be warm. He

will be in lane seven, and right next to him is Sun Yang. Not a bad

lane. David McKeon of Australia goes in two. And then the really big guys

in the centre. This will be hard to call. I think this might be one of

the closest 400 metres freestyle is in history. -- freestyles. If Sun

Yang does not put the afterburners on, here he is coming out now, if he

is not dominant then it will be a close finish. I have to say I am

disappointed he is here, personally. He has been taking Malindi for his

heart problem. Well, all of a sudden he does not have a heart problem and

he is still here, not taking stuff. IT is here, he is racing, and I

think he will be a real threat. -- baht.

European champion, Gabriele Detti, third fastest qualifier for this

final. He is in lane three. James Guy, six fastest. As we said, he did

not swim particularly well in the heats this morning. He did enough to

get in the final, enough to get in the lane next to him. Sun Yang is in

six, Gaya is in seven, and on the other side of Sun Yang, Mack Horton.

There he is, the fastest in the world this year. Three minutes, 41

seconds. If he does that, definite medal, he could win it. If anybody

does it it will be him. Conor Dwyer enters. A second under half slower

than Mack Horton did this year at the Australian trials. Horton has to

get it out here, he is younger, maybe he has been intimidated by Sun

Yang. He has had a go, Sun Yang, hasn't it? He has been splashing

them in the warmup pool. That is the kind of thing you might be doing

Indi warmup pool. -- in the warmup pool. It has all been blown way out

of proportion. I have to say, the answer from Mack Horton was that he

doesn't talk about drugs cheats, which is a pretty strong statement

to make right before the finals. Conor Dwyer is the fastest qualifier

from the USA, he is in Lane four. Here's the fastest qualifier the

final of the men's 400 metre freestyle. James Guy is the sixth

fastest qualifier. This race is going to be absolutely fascinating.

Sun Yang started pretty slowly. He must have heard my disapproval but

he is in it. David McEwen going out first. Hopefully as we have

mentioned, he is going to shake up this morning and put in a really

good performance tonight. He needed to get amongst the medal. At the top

the poor bloke, David McEwen. No one really showing the cards yet but

James Guy has taken the lead now. 53.70. He is working really hard

now. I think he is working particularly hard also in lane four

going well, is Conor Dwyer of the USA. Mack Horton, in the yellow in

the centre, looked very comfortable indeed. This is a very early start

from James Guy. This is very brave indeed. As we know, he is the world

champion in the 200 metre world freestyle. As we know, is that relay

that Great Britain won, it was him that overtook the Americans. The

last 200 metres, we will see whether he has got enough left in him. At

world record pace. James Guy is leading by nearly a second. He has

worked really hard, and now the charge is going to come. Mack

Horton, the yellow of Australia is looking very comfortable and is

starting to make a move. He is coming back. They are charging. This

is amazing, isn't it? James Guy is trying to hold back the field, he

has still got 150 metres left to go. He is a man capable of three minutes

and 41 seconds. Sun Yang looking ominous in the white. -- in the

white. Just reeling him in, let's hope that James Guy has got

something left. At the metres and they are really starting to go now.

Mack Horton has got his start, and James is trying to go with him now.

Sun Yang is also starting to grow in the white hat for China. This is

going to be absolutely special. James Guy is still there. The

American might even turn in first place, no he is over in third.

Fantastic, Mack Horton, I think the whole swimming fraternity is urging

on. Sun Yang is training in Australia still. Sun Yang is closest

to us in the pink suit but really is charging, but Mack Horton, the

20-year-old Australian has still got it. Version takes the gold. He takes

the gold in the 400 metres freestyle. The Australian will be

happy with that result. Sun Yang has taken the silver, and James Guy has

finished down in the sixth position. Not a bad time. What a final length.

He has gone over to the far side of the lane, and is sitting on the

rope. Absolutely outstanding. Mack Horton just stating. The 20-year-old

having the maturity to stay in the middle and late James Guy do all of

the work, it has to be said. And then make his move and just hold off

Sun Yang. Brilliant. What about James Guy for the 200 metres? He

showed great strength in the first 200 metres. I do not think is a 300

metres or 400 metres freestyle at all. He gave it a shot. The wrong

time for Sun Yang, and he knew it. That massive look over from Mark

Horton. Well done, the Olympic champion for 400 metre freestyle. He

has won five gold medals at the world Junior Championships. This guy

has been swimming very well through to last year. At the World

Championships, he could not pull it off. He's one pretty Polly actually,

but he has come back for the gold medal now. Sun Yang takes the silver

and Gabriele Detti takes the bonds. That was a brave swim by James Guy.

He was out there for so long and he looked nervous. What did you make of

James's swim? It was great up until 200 metres. I personally think it

was very brave of him. For me, not the right tactics at an Olympic

Games. Should have spoken about that with his coach. He knows how these

people will swim. Nikkei .org and on and took a risk, but now is not

really the time to take a risk, at the Olympic Games. I am really

excited now for tomorrow. I hope that does not affect him too much

and that he is not too disappointed. Looking at the Europeans, there was

a lot of talk about his gameplan early in the competition but he did

not let that affect him. Has he got the strength? We spoke about his

coach wanting to focus on the 200 metre freestyle. That is slightly

disappointing but it took a lot of confidence in the first couple of

100 metres. Next Olympic final. Yes, not a bad day or bad week. It is

still early for him. James, you worked hard on that one. It was the

only way you could do it, wasn't it? I tried to grow fast, and ignore the

pressure. A painful way to do it. Do you have any regrets? No, it is a

great venue and it is nice to be here and just try to fight for

medals. When you walked out, your mother had her hands over her face.

It is lovely that they are here today to watch me swim and I would

not be here without my coach and everybody. Talk to us about your 200

metres. Your spin speed was definitely there. Yes, it is good

signs for tomorrow. I will let you go then because I know you need to

rest. We will see him tomorrow in the 200 metre freestyle. He was

talking a lot about how important family support has been to him. They

move down south for his slimming, it is a heck of a commitment for the

entire family. Your parents getting up at 5am in the morning and driving

you to school from a young age, it was young. His family moved house,

and his dad moved house for him. It is a wonderful story. He will pick

himself up very, very quickly. I think the only way he is going to

get a medal is if he tries to go hard again. The first gold medal

goes to Japan. He was world champion in this race, the 400 metres

individual medley, but now he has to be satisfied with the bronze. It was

a good time, but bronze it was. I wonder if he went a little bit too

quickly this morning. I think that a butterfly, he went out quickly as

well. I think he blew a lot of his energy there. Four minutes and six

seconds for both second and third. He did well to take the silver medal

in the 400 metres individual medley. Following in the legacy of Michael

Phelps. That last 200 metres, his breaststroke leg was absolutely

extraordinary. He took one and a half seconds of Hagino. It was

Hagino's last leg where the damage was done. 1-over one and a half

seconds, and it was good enough for aid gold medal in the Rio Olympics.
