Day 1 BBC Two: 22.10-22.30 Olympics

Welcome back to reopen, the opening day of the Olympics -- to Rio. We

have had so much happening and we will catch up with all of it later

on BBC One where we have got a bit of a highlights programme as well as

bringing you any live action which will continue right through the

night your time, specifically be swimming finals start very late so

you need to stay up after midnight but we will repay them in full

tomorrow morning so hopefully you won't miss a thing. We have hockey

coming up very soon, men's hockey, Team GB in action but first, let's

bring you up-to-date what has been happening

in the women's rugby sevens, the first time it has been part of the

Olympics, the 15 aside game was part of it in 1924, the most recent time

but it has been a super sevens Saturday for Team GB's women,

following up a victory against hosts Brazil with another very dominant

display against Japan. When Alice Richardson was gifted this drive

from the turnover, it was very much one-way traffic. -- did try. Britain

added further first half tries through Joanne Whatmore and Katy

McLean to open up a 26-0 lead at the interval. Katy McLean was captain of

the World Cup winning 15 aside team, two years ago. Very much the same in

the second half, tries from Emily Scott and the impressive Heather

Fisher making it two out of two which sets up a tantalising final

group match against the well fancied Canada. That is tomorrow. Canada are

a different kettle of fish. They are very much two divisions of talent in

this rugby sevens tournament and we are going to look at Canada against

hosts Brazil. This is what happened with Sir Clive Woodward and Eddie

Butler. Commentator Raquel Kochhann with the unorthodox dart, which

gives possession to Canada, who try a low, flat pass, -- unorthodox

start. She did very well to pick it up, K Lamela ski. Jennifer Gish, one

of the stars. -- Jen Gish. Excellent defending work by Karen Paquin and

it will be the first try. The crowd don't like it because it is against

the host nation. But Canada are on their way. You have to say that was

very, very impressive, Paquin in full flight but what a great start

by the Canadian team. Kish, not the tidiest of tax down to Moleschi but

Kish will score their second try. Very impressive from Russell, she

was the outstanding player this morning, was very good in the

Canadian team. Even if Brazil lose their second round, they will have

something to play for tomorrow. Their last game will be against

Japan. Good work by the Canadians from the restart. Moleschi, third

try for Canada. Again, great restart and the Canadian number one just

getting the tap back, great picked up by Kish, to score. -- pick-up.

Incomes Landry, to Kish, and outside, Landry. Again, great set

play, these are the things you practise and practise four, again,

wonderful tackle by the Brazilian but a great finish. Wonderful.

Fabulous conversion by Russell. Half-time, 26-0. They will be

dancing on the streets! Moleschi, Russell, Kish. On the wide outside.

Russell waiting, looking up. Fees Moleschi. She finds Darling who

finds Farella who is she keeps her line will score. Wonderful scoring

by Farella. Edna Santini finds Michalak sheet and gets the ball

back but away, Canada and it is the running for Farella again. Heads for

the corner and scores. Look at this woman in full flight, a wonderful

site and a great athlete. Brazil just let it go at the wrong

moment, Russell, Canada might just get rid of this. They do. Moleschi

says enough is enough, two wins out of two sets them on their way and

sets up tomorrow's clash with GB. Canada 38-0 Brazil and tomorrow

brings bigger Games. I love the way Eddie Butler says

bigger Games, you know they are going to be tough. Tom Cooper down

-- Copacabana beach in the back of the shot. Great Britain will have to

face Canada tomorrow and that will be at 4:30pm. We will bring it to

you and I'm absolutely certain. At the Deodoro is the hockey. Britain's

women start their campaign tomorrow at 12:30pm with a very difficult

opening match against Australia, Kate Richardson-Walsh and the team

up against it, right from the get go, they won the bronze medal in

London. As for the men, well, they have not won a medal for a very,

very long time. It was gold when it came back in 1988 in Seoul. Sean

Kerly scored the winner against Germany and that gave Britain one of

only five gold medals won by the whole team, others included Steve

Redgrave and Adrian Moorhouse but Barry Middleton, the captain here,

playing his fourth successive Olympics and would dearly love to

win a medal. And they are out at the Deodoro. Let's have a look at the

setup in terms of what they face ahead of them. There are pool

matches first and then it gets into the knockout stages as well. We will

have a look first of all with Matt Chilton and Simon Mason, this was

the match against Belgium, sorry, just diving out of vision because I

can't remember what we are going to! Anyway, this is what happened

against Belgium. COMMENTATOR: Day one at the Olympic hockey venue at

Deodoro in Rio. Stinking hot day, considering it's midwinter, 31

degrees and counting, Great Britain about to play Belgium in this pool a

match. Great Britain looking for a way out. Slightly trapped in the

corner, here, pushed all the way back. And there is space but an

interception for Belgium, they are threatening, shot on goal and a

goal! The first goal of the match to Belgium, Pinot got a hand to it but

it was too hot to handle. Turned over at the top of the circle, a

ball out, I think it is Michael Hoare who missed wraps it and

Belgium easily into the day and Nick Nairn will wish he had done better,

left handed the wrong place. -- into the D. Great Britain have to retain

the ball, they are turning it over a bit easily at the moment and

allowing Belgium to counter. Adam Dixon really stepping in with

aggressive tackles. Dangerous for Great Britain. Saved by Pinner.

Cedric Charlier with the attempted shot and Pinner was in the right

place this time. Red shirts everywhere. A backhand shot. And in

off the body and there is trouble for one of the Belgian players. A

suggestion that is the face. The Belgian player down and receiving

attention, clearly in some distress. And the Belgian staff and medics not

taking any chances where a potential head or facial injury is involved.

Now the player is back on his feet. That is a good sign, Sebastien

Dockier took a thumping hit and is taken away from the field of play.

Now able intercepted, Jackson not getting full contact. -- a ball

intercepted. Claiming he was impeded but no matter, Jackson has created

something and back in possession now, Ashley Jackson, flicking to his

left, inside the circle, can they feed it through? Oh, what a strike!

What a goal for Great Britain! Superbly put away by Nick Catlin.

What a finish. Jackson drives up, sees Nick Catlin in space, Nick

Catlin's back and does not go, angle is too narrow, wheels of the right

foot and smashes it goal bound. What time to strike with half-time

approaching. Stop Brooks, gets it inside. -- Emanuel stop Brooks.

Belgium on the edge of the circle, pushing forward, Great Britain

desperately trying to avoid any contact with their feet and they

have got a penalty corner, Belgium. Great Britain invited the pressure.

I feel as they defend, if they sag too deep, they allow Belgium to get

into the circle. Simon Gougnard will insert for Belgium and the British

defenders charging the ball bravely but at the second opportunity a goal

for Belgium. The second half begins perfectly for the site from Belgium,

the goal from tangy cousins. -- Tanguy Cosyns. Nothing Pinner can

do, they need a second defensive runner. Belgium 2-1 Great Britain.

That is a beautiful pass, superbly controlled. And Great Britain look

to clear their lines but it is onto a red stick, here. Across the face

of goal, oh, good save from Pinner, who's down on his belly and breast

strokes the ball away. But this time there's nothing he can do about

that, Belgium 3-1 Great Britain. A goal from Simon Kudinov. Second and

third phase defence from Belgium, Pinner did brilliantly to stop the

ball in front of his goal but it popped up to Gougnard and a bit of

skill to go through the British defender's legs and then he drilled

it. Great Britain with it all to do. Belgium playing with the confidence

of a 3-1 lead. Joss Labadie passing the ball around. -- just happily

passing. Belgium are threatening once again, Pinner is out, open

goal, he can't miss and he doesn't! 4-1, Belgium. As they have broken,

it is a complete overload, a team goal, they have seen each other,

Pinner exposed but poor team defence from Great Britain, getting caught

focusing on the ball. And Great Britain finally get a penalty corner

is Gleghorne finds a foot solo he has worked the right-hand baseline,

the first British penalty corner of the game. Here we go. Jackson with

the flick. It is over the top. Jackson with one hand on his head.

Takes a touch to go over the top of the crossbar. Four the six teams in

the group will go through. This is not the tournament ending result by

any stretch of the imagination for Great Britain and the hooter sounds.

What a disappointing start to the tournament for Great Britain. Goals

from Jerome Tryon 's, Tanguy Cosyns, and Simon Gougnard, and finally,

Cedric Charlier with one in reply from Nick Catlin and the final score

at the Deodoro hockey stadium, Belgium 4-1 Great Britain.

And to be honest, Great Britain will be looking for a lot more when they

play New Zealand tomorrow. Tonight, Great Britain women start against

Australia at 12:30pm -- 12:30am your time. The Irishman have been in

action, in the same group as the Netherlands and Germany and first up

for them was India. COMMENTATOR: Quick shot, 1-0. Raghunath

Vokkaliga, magnificent, nothing Harte could do. It will be a fifth

penalty corner Ramandeep Singh to inject the ball, so quick, and

again, magnificent execution! Rupinder Singh with his 56th

International goal. And it is 2-0, India.

Trapped and a drag flick and they have got one back! Magnificent! 2-1!

John Jermyn, the drag, the flick, the goal, Ireland back in this

contest. Worked to perfection, look at number 11, trapped by Darling,

but John Jermyn with the pinpoint accuracy to get Ireland on the

board. Harte is a carrying present in there for Ireland but as we have

seen from Rupinder Singh and Raghunath Vokkaliga, this is

something India do so well and they have got another! Magnificent job by

Rupinder Singh. Six foot four, 200lb, he leans into that. It is

3-1, India, Rupinder Singh. Ireland, trying to cut the deficit and get

down to trailing by one, quick little play, getting it to Harte who

weaves in and Harte has made it 3-2! Harte, the towering six foot five

present of the defender, Conor Harte, India the better side,

winning 3-2. Good stuff, though, wasn't it?

Hockey is huge in India. Ireland will be in action again very shortly

and we will get you across that is. This is like Christmas Day as far as

the athletes are concerned because they finally get the chance to

compete. It is felt like years of waiting for many and it has been

years of waiting but what is the athletes village like?

Here we are, the athletes village for around 200 countries around the

world, this is their first step to winning an Olympic gold. Not least

for our friends in Team GB towers. Let's go and have a look and see how

they are getting on. Got the shot! Rugby sevens girls in

the house. They seem in pretty good spirits as well. Why wouldn't they

be? They have 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 the bare space and it is your allotment to do what we

like with. Who let Mark Gleghorne in up there? Give us a wave, guys! Good

to see you. Haven't you got work to do? Oh, brilliant, OK, we will see

you in a jiffy. Spirits seem really good. As you say, it's a great buzz,

everyone is so excited and really pleased to be here. Welcome to Rio,

guys. How are you finding it? Good, really good actually, accommodation

is great and the place is amazing. We're getting started in a few days

and it's coming round really quick. We are looking forward to it. See

you, guys, see you out there, take care. What is great about the

village is that if you ever get lost, just follow the flags. Check

it out. Canada back there, looking loud and proud, taking up that tower

block. Over here, we have got the Scandinavian quarter, including

Denmark, Finland and Sweden, who were very welcoming as we walked

past. Over here, Portugal down low and up top, Slovenia, feeling the

love. Very good. And that is what it is all about. Bring on the great.

That is good on the Touche! Oh, that is lovely! Come on, out you get,

thank you. James, I'm sure you are hoping this is the spot that will

get used quite a lot by the Team GB contingent. Certainly, we have set

it up with 12-15 beds. We will probably have over 10,000 minutes

worth of treatment every day as we get into the game is so all the

sports are encouraged to use it. This way. Hi, look, there's a person

in here! There's a person! You never know who you are going to find. You

never know. Hello? OK, there they are! Good to see you. Good to see

you. Richard, I have to ask you about these guys. Look at them, your

team. Your Olympic Rio 2016 team. It's a tight grip, isn't it, that

you have got? Yeah, it's great, we train together, compete together.

This is our sixth trip out here now. As an Olympic squad. We have been

bonding really well. So far, we haven't had any major issues. All

right, here we are. What about... I've got too, haven't I? Do you

mind? Be my guest, it's just been changed today as well, so nice and

clean. And now tainted unafraid. In fact, if it's anything like London,

you will probably see a lot of the athletes with these flying home.

Team GB will be taking their bed sheets home with them. We shall see,

we shall see. So there you have it, the village in all its glory and by

the sounds of it, according to the athletes, Team GB is definitely

ready for Rio. Many thanks to Team GB for allowing

us access to all the bedrooms, the lying on the bed as well! Now we're

heading off on BBC Two so join us again in a minute on BBC One.
