Day 1 Highlights Olympics

Hello and welcome to Rio and a repeat of last night's action, they

one of the 2016 Olympic Games. This is what is coming up over the next

few hours. The swimming finals get under way. James Guy is going for

gold in the 400 metres freestyle. The 400 metres medley is for Hannah

Miley, a podium place inside, alongside Amy Wilmot. Adam Peaty set

a world record in the heat in the 100 meter breaststroke. And the Team

GB women's hockey team get their campaign under way against old

rivals Australia. Before all that we will bring you right up to date with

the gymnastics. But it is the swimming finals we are concentrating

on, with some big names to look out for.

Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympian in history. Oh, my goodness

me. The goal. The new Olympic champion is Missy Franklin of the

USA. Very good swimming indeed. Brilliant swim from Hannah Miley.

Kate Campbell gets the gold, Bronte Campbell gets the silver. Carlin

gets the gold, what a brilliant swim. Look at that! The gold medal

goes to James Guy of Great Britain. Oh, yes. Adam Peaty wins the gold.

The Aquatic Centre is part of the newly built Olympic Park to the west

of the city centre. Our team is fantastically anchored by Helen

Skelton. Good evening. Yes, welcome, I don't think it is

too big of a statement to call this the house of fun. In the first

session we saw a world record smashed. Adam Peaty, and the place

was absolutely rocking. But tonight is all about the medals. In the last

couple of hours the podium has been put in place. Somebody will stand on

top of that podium as an Olympic champion in the next couple of

hours. Rebecca Adlington, Mark Foster, before we did into the

specifics of who might be up there, let's talk about the British team in

general. Expectations for the week. How often will we see them on the

podium? For London we had 40 athletes, this time only 26, so it

is a smaller, more focused team. But I think we had chances. In Beijing

and London we only got three medals. They were different colours, but

still only worth three medals. This time I would like to see more than

three. Ross, James Guy, Adam Beattie, jazz, so many medal

chances. Hopefully tonight we can get off to a great start and get the

ball rolling. Jason hit the nail on the head when he said we would need

caffeine to watch this live back in Great Britain. It will be some early

mornings. But there are big names putting in huge performances, who

should people be staying up for? Michael Phelps, obviously making a

comeback. Franklin, and Campbell from Australia, so many to look out

for, some big, big names. Adam Peaty is on course to take the title, set

your alarm, because he could be our first male Olympic champion since

Adrian Moorhouse. If we do not see James Guy or Hannah Miley on that

this evening. We cannot talk about swimming without talking about the

Russians, it has overshadowed the build-up. They will be on the start

list, Yulia Efimova, that will not go down well, she has failed drug

tests twice, you are allowed to get off the fence, your opinion,

Rebecca? It is tough, we were told they were banned and the fact it has

been overturned as disappointing especially when that's quite a lot

of athletes in British events, because we feel more passionate, are

like, damn you! But it will be interesting to see how the crowd

react. I see an opportunity to make a stand. I think that the world

governing body, FINA FINA, has been very weak on this, they need to make

a stand. We always talk about this, if you test positive it is your

responsibility and it should be a lifetime ban. It is not just the

Russians. The world champion who we will see in the 400 metres freestyle

final. We will also see James Guy in that one. He came away with a gold

and silver from the World Championships, he has been talking

to Steve Parry. It is very unusual for Olympic

athletes to be engaged in fishing. I think so, but I have been doing it

for years, I love it, it is a great way to shut down. It is not all

about pace. It is about how you present date. How you calm down,

relax, and enjoy yourself. -- how you present bait. James Guy, out in

front but ... A fantastic silver medal for James Guy! I thought I

could maybe steal a medal, get a sneaky third. So to get a silver...

I was confident and relaxed. For me it was the goal. The gold medal goes

to James Guy, world champion, 200 metres freestyle! The aim was just

to go out and have fun. It paid off. To get a medal was pretty special.

If I get a personal best that would be medal territory. It would be nice

to get a medal obviously. For my sport, my country, to do Team GB

proud, and my family, they have done so much, so to pay them back would

be special. I have watched Michael Phelps since I was nine years old.

To be racing him, to be in the same pool is... I cannot control others

do. -- what others do. I have been good in training, feel fit and

strong, ready to go. I have waited all my life. And with my family here

it is pretty special. You cannot question his calibre, character, or

spirit. We saw him today in his heat. It was not his best. That face

says it all, Mark. It was a tired swim. He looked a bit heavy toward

the end. At the beginning he started really well, look smooth, but he

paid for it on the back end. I did not do 400, 800, just one lap, it

was easy for me! It can be quite hard work, isn't it? Yes, the thing

about games and all the British athletes, we can struggle to swim

our best time in the morning, then again in the evening, because we

don't have to do that at home. You can swim an average heat and make it

into the final. Then you come to a big competition and you have to swim

a very fast time then back it up. I would struggle with it. I hold my

hands up, I was the same. But it is a shame that he has not implemented

what Adam has done in the last few years, swimming quick each round,

whereas James has not used that tactic. But it has been working with

him, so you say, I will just stick with my own race. He likes to chase.

He likes to hurt himself. He does. In April he went two seconds faster

than this morning. So there is a lot more from him, if it can come out.

And Steven Milne was in the 400 heat, he swam a personal best, but

unfortunately missed out in a place in the final. Max Litchfield, his

first Olympics final, so, Sheffield, stay up with us, you could see your

boy in the final. Hannah Miley, we may also see her in the final. She

comes into this event is second-fastest in the world this

year. I love swimming. I love being part of the sport. I love my

training, being part of the team, it is my main focus, the results will

come. Hannah Miley wins gold at the European Championships! It is a

silver, well done, Hannah Miley! Great to be able to share it with

your daughter. Your father is your full-time coach. How much does that

help? It helps having a full-time coach, knowing that when ever you go

to your training session you have your courage to train you, keep an

eye on you, to pick up and little bits in the water. He would go to

work and fly helicopters, and leave our training sessions. Now he is

around a lot more which is great from my point of view. Working with

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

I feel and look, I just get more one to one attention which in the long

run is really good. Insomuch as I am the one in the pool it is a

reflection of all the hard work and effort and sacrifice the family have

made. The whole family are supportive. Not just my father, my

mother and my brothers, we are all one unit that works really closely

together. Hannah Miley wins a gold for Scotland, what a start at the

Commonwealth Games! Having won the Commonwealth and European titles,

and World Championships, what would it mean to finally get an Olympic

medal? I would love to be able to say at the end of it, we have done

it. It is the dream of every athlete to win a medal. But the journey so

far, what I have learned, I help come, it has kind of change my

perspective -- who I have become. A medal would be amazing, but it is

not like finishing a computer game, like, now what? The journey would

not stop there. I would love that medal and would not train without

the dream of being on the podium but I do not see it as being the end,

the final achievement. There is so much more afterwards, to achieve. If

my child likes me half as much as Hannah likes her dad I would be so

happy. It is an incredible bond. I saw her once and she said, my dad is

my hero. As a parent, that breaks your heart, right? Yes, and Patrick

just loves the sport, her dad and her coach. He is so passionate. I

remember him doing it with me, I was like, it's OK, you are not my dad!

But they do have that talents. They have squabbles. But it is what makes

them stronger. They work really well together and they have tried so many

different things. For Hannah to stay at the top of her game, a third

Olympics, it is credit to them as a team.

If you are an American film-maker, she trains with her brothers in a

small pool. It is an endearing setup. It is. A lot of other people

couldn't do it. Patrick's attention to detail is second to none. He even

invented this device you put inside your hat that gives you stroke tempo

rates. As you are swimming, it bleeps when you put your arm in the

water. He came up with that concept and it became... I can't think of

the word. That invention. They use that an awful lot. The whole family

setup is, her brother is the person who pushes her in training every

day. He is her training partner. It is very intense, but at the same

time, when you get those sort of results, it is heart-warming. She

has a world medal, a European model, a Commonwealth medal, she does not

have an Olympic medal yet. Stiff competition, though. I think it was

the Katinka show this morning. She absolutely dominated from the start.

Just from the start of this morning, she was a full body length up from

Hanna just off the start. She is so powerful and so strong and she

wanted the world record. I am expecting that to go tonight. Not

just Hanna in this event, Aimee Willmott also available. Second

generation Olympian. They both have a good chance. Dorado and Belmonte

and I think Miley and Wilmots together, those four, that could be

where the medals come from, the silver and bronze. Aimee looks tidy

this morning. The strokes are really good. She paced the race so much

better. Hannah needs to get out a bit easier on the fly and be with

them a bit more. Miley is going to be down the bottom in five and six

with Del Monte and it will be very interesting. Stick with us if you

want to see whether Hanna will finally get the Olympic medal to add

to her collection. This is how things are shaping up. 2am, 3am,

guys. Come on! I would get up to see Adam Peaty. Another world record.

Ross Murdoch in the first, Adam Peaty in the second. Can he get

faster? Why not? If these guys can do the training, people can get up

to watch them. That heat this morning was pretty special. That was

a phenomenal world record. Anything is possible with this guy. He wasn't

even out of breath. He wasn't even out of breath and took the

opportunity to talk about inspiring the next generation of swimmers. If

you have children, tonight is the night to let them stay up all night.

My kids will already be awake at that time. Joking aside, we talk

about inspiring the next generation, we've talked to Adrian about the

Duncan Goodhew Lowe, this is something special tonight. It is no

surprise we have this history of Olympic champions and you have

inspirations in that event. It is likely, Rebecca Adlington. We have a

duty Wilmots, Hardcastle, Rebecca Adlington. We have always had good

people. 20 of reasons to stay up tonight. Everyone loves swimming. I

live and breed swimming. The feeling of water is unlike anything else.

Since I was a young girl I used to just love being in the pool, racing

and having fun. There is something inside me that told me I could be

fast. Shows you are good and you care about something. I have spent

my life training for this moment. If I didn't care, it would be silly. I

want to push myself to the limit, it is as simple as that. It is

everything to every athlete. You need to put everything into each

round to have yourself in that final. I have wanted it so much for

so long and I am going there to be on the podium and I will go out

there and give it absolutely everything.

Lots of love for the swimming already. We shall be back with Helen

and her marvellous team in the Aquatics Centre just before 2pm. We

will focus on Team GB's women in the hockey, taking on Australia, old

rivals, in a few minutes. Let's remind you what happened when the

men got their Olympic Games campaign underway against Belgium. Great

Britain looking for a way out. Slightly trapped in the corner here.

Pushed all the way back and an intercept from Belgium. They are

threatening. First goal of the match to Belgium.

Jackson was claiming he was impeded, but no matter.

Oh, what a strike! What a goal for Great Britain. Superbly put away.

An open goal, he couldn't have missed.

A very disappointing start for our men in the hockey and they have to

bounce back. They take on New Zealand. That is tomorrow. What lies

in store for our women? Big game coming up tonight against Australia.

Touchdown on the post, absolutely brilliant. When I look back to the

London Olympics, it feels like I'm watching a movie and someone else is

in it. It is surreal. The home games in London was so spectacular. The

biggest thing you learn on the world stage, it is the small margins make

a huge difference. I look at games under high pressure. The difference

between winning and losing can be tiny, making a tackle or making an

opportunity. What a comeback this has been! It's a really different

group, this group compared to the one that went to the London Olympic

Games. Some of those players have been through the London cycle and

have the experience. The young players still don't know what they

don't know. Having the older players to guide them and men to them

through the ups and downs of the Olympics is absolutely fundamental.

How do you feel about going to what will be your fourth Olympics? I

remember getting my first cap in 99 so very clearly. There is no way in

a million years I thought I would be here. I feel very lucky and

privileged. I am a mother hen. I was lucky round the face and give you a

hug. I just care. We spend so much time with each other, become so

involved in each other's lives, you really care about the person on the

pitch and the person off the pitch, which makes you tight as a group.

I was kind of hoping someone younger might get in and shovel those jobs

to them, but I guess I am the baby. Can you describe the pure excitement

of being part of an Olympic squad? Unbelievable. I remember reading the

e-mail and I could not hold it in. It was just such an amazing moment

and that day I could finally just think about the Olympics. I 100%

believe we can win a medal without a doubt. We have shown that we are

very much medal contenders, but it will be incredibly tough. I think

the world of women's hockey has grown and the top six sides are all

able to beat each other, which makes for an exciting Olympic Games. We

will have to be on our best to compete for a medal, but we are more

than capable of doing it. To win a gold medal would be everything. I

and most people here really want it. So, let's had lied to the Olympic

Hockey Centre you north of the Olympic Park and join our match

commentary team. Good evening. The eagerly

anticipated clash of Great Britain and Australia. First match for both

teams, pool B. Win or lose, ultimately may not make too much

difference, but the rivalry over many years between these two sides

means that this being a pool match has added zest and plenty of

importance. Australia in the green and gold will be hitting from left

to right. Great Britain playing in all red tonight.

It is a still evening. We have hot temperatures today, 36 degrees pitch

side mid-afternoon. It is a 125 now with 50% humidity. The middle of

winter, it feels like a hot day. Australia get things under way.

Good evening, Mao. We have both been excited about this fixture. We

certainly have. It is a cracking day for Great Britain to start their

Olympic campaign. As you say, there is a lot of rivalry between these

two. They have played a Test match against each other in February and

then in June. It'll be interesting to see who can get the upper. --

upper hand. New format with the time these days

in hockey. We play four quarters of 15 minutes each. Ten minute break

for half-time after the second quarter. A slightly shorter game in

total, but a much more exciting one as a result of rule changes.

You can feel the tension around the arena. Plenty of Australian

supporters in. Lots of union Jacks around. Pitch one at the Diadora

hockey arena and a clash of sticks there.

That is a great start by Great Britain. The intensity with which

they have started is nothing worse than being in the Olympic Village

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

the girls, and it is great to see them playing with such positivity.

The men didn't have such a positive start earlier today. They lost 4-1

to an inspired Belgian side. It is the direct plate that is

really good from Great Britain. Often we see them tentative, they

get the ball higher up the pitch and play backwards. To see Alex Danson

so high up in the field and being given that opportunity so early on

is a positive sign again. Crista Cullen took time out after

the London Olympics but has returned to the squad 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 any style you are used to seeing from Australia, putting

the opposition under pressure from the word go, yet they have struggled

to get into any kind of routine. These are the things which from a

British perspective gives you some hope. Down the right, Australia

looking for a way through to the edge of the circle. Flicked under

the British stick, but the pressure is relieved as Great Britain, way.

Down the left-hand side, Hannah McLeod. With Australian shirts all

around her. Back they go. A good interception. Australia looking

dangerous. Taken all the way through .Mac and in the end it is a hand

away from Hitch. Free hit for Australia. Nice work, good

interception. She has definitely got a good eye for a ball and made that

look very easy. The Australian skipper on the march forward. Jodie

Kenny, try to put in the cross. Kenny, asking for it on the right,

should get it, tackled, but it is still Australia in possession.

Kirsten Dwyer for Australia. Gets in the cross, a chance for a shot on

goal, pinch comes out sharply to save. -- Hinch. No penalty corner.

Great Britain got away with it. They can break now... That has been two

sites at goal for Australia. Slattery with a snapshot, then Emily

Smith. This is a Smith, it is fantastic play by Hinch to take it

on the face mask. She is so quick to close down the angles and could be

the key to British success in this tournament. Australia playing at

real pace, that is good work, it needs some sharp defence. A free

hit, outside of the circle. Great Britain and a little bit of

pressure, with just over nine minutes of the first period to play.

Turn, blocked... It is in. I think it is potentially dangerous play.

The ball in front Dwyer, half touch, and it strikes Cullen above the

knee, which should be given to the defender, but Australia are building

momentum and getting into their stride now.

Now, Great Britain with a chance to put a bit of pressure on the

Australian defence, but it comes to nothing. A cagey start between the

teams as they check each other out during the opening exchanges. I

think it is just two teams who know each other really well and want to

get points on the board in their first game. Number one, in team

sports, usually worn by the goalkeeper, but warned by an

outfield player. Lynch, the goalkeeper for Australia, whereas

27. Emulating Dwyer, with -- Jamie Dwyer, with his number one. An

appeal for the free hit, but nothing given. Down-the-line, a beautiful

pass. They keep up with face as they approach the circle, requiring a

little shuffle to the side from Unsworth.

Unsworth does well. Maintains British possession.

A bit of a scramble but Great Britain come away with it.

Opportunities here. Australia are having to backtrack in reverse. It

is held up, and it will be an Australian free hit. On the ball

Owsley has phenomenal pace, she was a great athlete before being picked

up by Great Britain hockey. Alex Danson stretching the midfield

really well. Williams doing the hard work, gets the free hit, and

Australia slow it down and switch sides. Kirsten Dwyer. Cut out by

Alex Danson. Triple away inside. A good crossfield pass. Red shirts I

had. Unsworth. Inside to Twigg who loses out but

Great Britain have it again, down the left-hand side, and it goes out

of danger as far as Australia are concerned. Just the final ball is

letting down Great Britain. But really positive signs. The players

are getting on the ball and certainly from what we have seen the

girls look up for the game tonight. Just over five minutes of the first

period to play. 0-0. This match between two old rivals. Not the

cleanest hit from yours truly in midfield. Great Britain, the

beneficiaries. Nice little break on the left-hand side from the colour

white. She leaves it... Still British possession. The ball falls

nicely for Helen Richardson-Walsh. Alex Danson, familiar bursting run,

just about keeping Great Britain in possession, but the green and gold

are back to tidy up. Alex Danson, she can be such a dangerous

playmaker for Great Britain. She can turn a match. And here she is again.

Clocks it out of the air, fancies a solo run... The shot... Kicked away

by the Australian goalkeeper, Rachel Lynch. She will definitely be

pivotal for Great Britain in this tournament. On her backhand that

would have been in the back of the net, she is phenomenal on that side,

but good to see her get a shot away on goal. Tidied up. That is out

today. Tidied up by Webb but the pass was less impressive. One of

yours truly and forward, Emily Smith, in space. -- one of the

Australian forwards. The first period has been exciting from the

first whistle. Just over three minutes to play. Still no score.

Great Britain 0-0 Australia. Australia, with a bit of space.

Forcing their way through to the circle. There are no green and gold

shirts, that gives Great Britain time and breathing space on the

left. That was a missed cue from Helen Richardson-Walsh. Georgina

Morgan, all the way back. Good control. Bounced over the top

of the Great Britain stick. Now they look for a way out. The ball

bouncing kindly for Australia. Two Australians in the circle. Now

three. Pressing forward, looking for a chance to win a penalty corner.

They appeal for it. The umpire was having none of it. Will there be a

referral? Emily Smith knew straightaway. It looked like it came

off the leg of Cullen. We are heading to the video umpire. Each

side gets one referral per match, get it right, keep it, get it wrong,

lose it. The video umpire... We can just see it come off the stick of

Cullen onto her leg, so it should not take long to make the decision.

That was a foul by GB. It is a penalty corner. Australia keep the

referral. It all works out perfectly for Australia, they get the penalty

corner and keep the referral. So time for Great Britain to put on the

facemask and protective gear and try to defend this penalty corner. The

Australians have got their top team at the top of the circle. Jody Kenny

and Georgina Morgan off the top, numbers are seven and 17. The

likelihood is it will be Jodie Kenny, with the first corner of the

tournament. But Australia have got some routines. There will be a trap

and a possible drag flick, then the attempt towards goal. Here we go,

first of the match, just over two minutes to play. We'll Australia

head into the break with a 1-0 lead? Brilliant, brave defensive hit by

Cullen but she is on the deck and they will need to be stopped because

she took that hard. I do not think there's anyone braver and the hockey

field than the one runner. They try to get as close to the ball as

possible. The goalkeeper takes one side and the number one runner takes

the other. Cullen, in a bit of trouble. But she is back on her

knees. Bravely getting herself back to her feet. She may spend the rest

of the period on the bench, getting some attention. There it is. The arm

or the ribs. Potentially ribs. Both, possibly. And she is jogging off

now! Hard as nails. I tell you what, next corner, she will still run as

number one. Shin pads, gum shields, that is about it. Brilliant defence

from Cullen, foiling the Australian penalty corner attempt. The scores

remain level with 90 seconds to play. Australia, fancying one more

push toward the Great Britain goal. But that is intercepted. A change of

direction, looking for a way out of this little puzzle. Good play.

Sophie Bray. Good skills. One hand on the stick, all the way into the

corner, looking for Susanna Townsend. Australia are working

well, combining nicely. That is a waste from Holly Webb. It has been a

really absorbing first quarter. I know there have not been any girls

but both teams are trying to win the three points. It has not been overly

cagey, there have been opportunities, you would argue

Australia have had the best of them, but from a British perspective,

still very positive. Can Great Britain get reward for their efforts

in the remaining seconds of the first quarter? That looks like

Australia cleaned it up. But Great Britain have 15 seconds to do some

damage. This has got to go forward. Pushed into the circle. And a

penalty corner appeal... Nothing Gavin. That will be the final play

of the quarter. -- nothing given. Seconds left, Australia will round

it off with a run toward the corner. The first period of play ends

scoreless here at the Olympic Park. Great Britain 0-0 Australia.

We shall be back very shortly for the start of the second quarter,

meantime, welcome back to Copacabana and our wonderful studio at the Rio

Olympics. A look at what is happening elsewhere, the women's

singles tennis, Venus Williams is up against Kirsten Flipkens, Williams

took the first set but Kirsten Flipkens is right back in it,

winning the second. And weightlifting... A pretty big

tournament for China. The 48 kilograms gold medal, China have

taken gold in the past two Olympic Games and should continue that run

tonight. That is available on BBC Four. All of these events are

available online as well. If you want to table tennis, the women's

singles is available on the Red Button. Many ways to keep in touch.

BBC Four, we have the Olympics covered. We are about to get the

second quarter under way. Let's go back to Matt and mouth.

Great Britain hitting from right-to-left. No score yet, but it

has been an absorbing first period of play.

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

I assumed she would not be back for the second quarter, but she is out

there. Crista Cullen thankfully, from the British point of view, is

in good shape. It's good to see her out there. She

is tall and strong but also gives an aerial threat when Great Britain are

trained to outlet. Grace Stewart only made her debut

this year. Ten goals in 22 games. She is only young. Another

world-class forward. Another brave bit of defending from

Great Britain. Laura Unsworth got in the way. She OK, shrugs it off and

gets on with the game. Grace Stewart, just as she comes towards

Hollie Webb, manages to get the ball up in the air. Maddie Hinch was so

quick off the goal-line. Final match of Day one of the

Olympic hockey tournament here at the Deodoro Stadium. Half time is

9.5 minutes away. There is a penalty corner for

Australia. They are all a bit confused with the stick dropped onto

the turf, and as a result, the ball hit a British foot. Australia will

get a penalty corner. Great Britain could easily have cleared that ball.

Laura Unsworth and Crista Cullen got tangled up. Australia managed to put

the ball on to have fought for a penalty corner. It will be

interesting to see if they shift the traps like they did the first time.

Penalty corner number two for the Australians. The British defenders

got a touch on that. It has been given for a third party

obstruction. Not 100% surge in myself, but you have to play what

the umpire sees and unfortunately for Great Britain, that was a great

opportunity, but fantastic interplay by Helen Richardson-Walsh.

That was off the heel of a British player. No penalty corner given.

Helen Richardson-Walsh has hobbled over to the bench, so hopefully she

hasn't done anything or too much damage. The physio and Doctor are

with her already. Unsworth has had an excellent first

half. First X minutes of the first half to play, but she has been

fantastic so far. That was spectacularly pushed away

from the Grace Stewart shot. Brilliant play by Williams on the

backhand. Fantastic for someone of 19 years of age. Hinch is

outstanding. Such a good ball in by Kate

Richardson-Walsh and it needed a centre forward to post up on the

edge of the circle. Get a touch and it is a nightmare for an Australian

defender to try to track the ball. It is all Great Britain at the

moment. Great Britain first to score. Lily

Owsley hits from close range. The scoreboard is showing Australia one,

Great Britain zero. That will shortly be corrected. It was a

fantastic ball in by Hollie Webb. That was a calm finish by Lily

Owsley and you can see what it means to the team. Rachael Lynch has been

a spectator for most of the first half and now she's picking the ball

out of the net. Cool heads required from Great Britain. They would love

to go into the extended break with one goal advantage.

They have got a penalty corner straight after the goal was scored.

Australia back on the attack and get the reward. Their third penalty

corner of the game. It is a fantastic piece of skill by Smith

there. As harsh as this finds Buttler sounds, Kate

Richardson-Walsh... It is an opportunity for Australia to get

back on to level terms. Third penalty corner of the match for

Australia. They failed to convert on the two previous attempts.

Hannah Macleod does well to cover one side, but that absolutely went

flying. I'm not sure whether Laura Unsworth got a touch on that as the

post player. Not content with a 1-0 lead at

half-time, Great Britain want to add to that and make it two.

The umpire is just explaining a decision. Wants its taken from

outside the 23 metre line. Which now means Hollie Webb can play directly

into the circle. A 2-0 lead at half-time would be a

magnificent effort from Great Britain as they try to force their

way through, and Australia get possession. So important for Great

Britain at ago in at half-time with the lead. Danny Kerry has his

tactics spot on today. The girls have executed everything he has

wanted from them, but he will not be satisfied. He will want more from

this squad in the second half. Australia have more than one minute

to finish the half with a flourish. Great Britain just keep doing this.

Intercepting these passes, pushing the ball out of play. That will

probably be enough to see them into the break with a 1-0 lead. Inside

the final 60 seconds now. Georgina Morgan has come closest so

far for Australia. Good hustling, good tackling. The

team know it is nearly over. Waiting for the future now. Verities. The

end of an absorbing first half. -- there it is. Australia had three

penalty corners, but with no reward, and the Great Britain goal came

courtesy of Lily Owsley. There is more to come, but at the break,

Great Britain lead Australia by one goal to nil.

I told you it would be worth staying up for. Well done to Team GB. Lily

Owsley one of the sport's rising stars. She won an award just a few

months ago and played hockey for Birmingham University. We will be

back with the hockey in just under ten minutes. It is time to dive into

the pool. So, this is how we are lining up

this evening. The men's 400 metre individual medley final. Max

Litchfield is taking part in that at around three minutes past two. The

women's butterfly semifinal at around 2:15pm. -- to 15 AM.

James Guy is hoping for glory tonight. Keep your eyes open for

Hannah Miley and Aimee Willmott. We are now going to turn our

attention to the men's gymnastics because there have been lots of

events today, both in the team and individual. Let's talk to our man

who has kept his eye on that, David McDaid. Let's start with our big

names. Max Whitlock, how did he do? He is simply Great Britain's

gymnastics superstar. He is the world champion, won that in Glasgow

in November and came here with hopes of the first ever British gymnastics

gold medal. Today he was part of that team qualifying as well as the

individual apparatus qualifying. He started off very well on the floor,

got four scores of 15 and into the pommel where we really hope that he

or Louis Smith can get that first of our Olympic men's gold. Max Whitlock

did very well, got a score of 15.8 to leave him top in that

qualification standings. He is looking in really good shape to get

that first ever gold. He did have a couple of slip-ups later on in his

routine in the vault when he got below 14 and then had a fall on the

high bar. That left him 12 in the all-around standings, through to the

final and certainly something to work on.

What about the rest of the team, and Louis Smith? He was only a tenth

behind, getting 15.7. It really is between Louis Smith and Max Whitlock

for the gold medal, hopefully a British 1-2. Elsewhere we have seven

medal chances on the individual apparatus, Max Whitlock is joined by

Nigel Wilson, and goes in for final alongside Christian Thomas. So you

have seven chances for individual medals here. So many fantastic

performance from the home nations at the Commonwealth Games, but what

about the team event? Qualification was a good achievement in itself but

what we have seen tonight is that the other nations who Great Britain

beat to the World Championship silver medal in Glasgow have really

got their game. China topping the standings, USA's second, then

Russia, Japan, then Great Britain. So Great Britain has work to do,

make no mistake about it, but there are things they can put right,

Monday. They just need to do what they did, maybe a little bit better,

then perhaps another Olympic team medal can be theirs. Good to talk to

you. And the women's gymnastics get under way tomorrow. A reminder of

the big stories today. Adam Peaty sets a world record in

the 100 metres breaststroke heat, his semifinal coming up later. Not

to be for Great Britain in the men's road race. Derek Thomas crashing

out, Chris Froome never really in it, the race was won by Belgium's

Greg van Avermaet. The Great Britain men's hockey team thrashed by

Belgium, 4-1. Ginny Thrasher of America took the first gold medal in

the games, a surprise victory in the women's ten metres air rifle. And

the Brazilian shooter Felipe Almeida Wu took silver, the first medal for

the hosts, in the men's ten metres 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, we went for a look around.

Here we are in the athletes village. 10,000 athletes from more than 200

countries around the world. This is the first step to winning gold. Not

least for our friends at Team GB towers. Let's look at how on.

The rugby sevens girls are in the house. And they are in pretty good

spirits. Why wouldn't they be? They have got union Jack deck chairs. I

love what you have done with the place. The great thing is you pretty

much get a bare space and it is your allotment to do which would like

with it. Let in Mark? He is up there. Give us a wave, guys. Have

you not got work to do? The spirits seem really good. It is a great

buzz. Everybody is really excited to be her. Max and Nile Wilson,

welcome. However you getting on? It has been really good, we are looking

forward to it. What is great about the village is that if you ever get

lost, follow the flags. Check it out. Canada, loud and proud, taking

over that tower block. Over here, the Scandinavian quarter. Denmark,

Finland, and Sweden. Over here, Portugal, and up top, Slovenia.

Feeling the love. Very good. That is what it is all about. That is

lovely. Go on, out you get. Thank you. This sport will be used quite a

lot by the contingent. Yes, we have set it up and will have over 10,000

minutes worth of treatment per day. All of the sports are encouraged to

use it. This way. Look, a person, hiding! You never know who you will

find. There they are. Good to see you. Richard, I have to ask you

about these guys. Your team, the Rio 2016 team. You are a tight group,

are due? Yes, we train and compete together. We have been bonding

really well. So far we have had no major issues. Here we are. Do you

mind if I...? Be my guest. It has actually been changed today, nice

and clean. If this is anything like London, many of the athletes will be

taking these then flying home. Team GB taking their bed sheets home. We

shall see, we shall see. There we have it. The village in all its

glory. And according to the athletes, Team GB are definitely

ready for Rio. It is a terrific Olympic Village. A

great Olympic Games. Let's go back to our commentary team, Team GB lead

thanks to Lily Owsley. Welcome back, third period under

way. Laura Unsworth is involved right at

the start. Great Britain 1-0 Australia. The goal in the 26 minute

from Lily Owsley separates the teams. Anna Flannigan, one of the

Australian players unfortunately not selected for the tournament.

Aerial ball, trapped and controlled beautifully.

Claxton, all the way back. Kenny, sprinting to the right-hand side,

picks it up again. Australia biding their time and looking for an

opportunity. Intercepted by Great Britain. Snatched back by Australia.

Lots of pace here. Great Britain backtracking, and Helen Richardson

was getting involved. What Great Britain have done really well this

evening is protect the middle of the field. They are more than happy to

have the ball out wide. They can use the sideline as another defender.

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

Australia, in the corner. Looking for a way out. Heading toward the

circle. It is behind. Kate Richardson Walshe involved in

dialogue with the umpire about what she can and cannot hear. It has been

quiet this evening, the Australian fans are certainly not making much

noise. 8000, the capacity in the stadium. Penalty corner, first of

the second half. It has gone the way of Australia. It will be the fourth.

They have yet to strike with any of their previous three. So a huddle

now, with discussions going on as to the best course of action with the

first penalty corner of the second half. Great Britain switched off and

that allowed Kerstin Dwyer to overlap, so we bray was caught, two

versus one. -- so we Sophie Brady. Slattery with the injection, hell.

... The short, beautiful goal. But we perfectly. Georgina Morgan, who

hit the post in the first half but finds the target early in the

second. This could be what puts Australia into the medal chances, so

many options from the corners. Cullen, nowhere near that one, she

had a long way to go. Georgina Morgan, she had a site in the first

half, hit the post, Kenny is not firing, but now they step up. Great

Britain 1-1 Australia. Kate Richardson-Walsh. Through the centre

, Quek, Danson, sizing up options, Australia come forward, Hinch able

to boot it away to safety. Not really sure why a corner has been

given. But there is no complaint. Maybe it comes off the foot? Must

have done. Lots of shrugging shoulders around the commentary

position, nobody is quite sure. We may be just could not pick it up on

the replay. So another penalty corner for Australia. Last one, just

a few moments ago, Morgan hit the target. Great Britain desperate to

defend this one. Change your pattern again. Here is the short... Pushed

wide. -- as far as Great Britain are concerned the danger is over.

Temporarily at least. Great corner defence. They only had Kenny is an

option, which made it easier for the defending team to know where the

ball was going to go. A bit of pace from Great Britain down the left but

it is out of play. Sam Quek comes forward to take it up now. Great

Britain 1-1 Australia. Eight minutes of the third period remaining.

Australia have stolen it. To the edge of the circle... To horrific

defending from the captain. Kate Richardson-Walsh -- terrific

defending. A brick wall on the edge of the circle. Transfer a British

opportunity now, but it is snuffed out by Australia, TrackBack in the

numbers. The difference is that Australia have upped their

intensity. But the passing of Great Britain in the first half was

brilliant. They knew where it was going to go. But now they are been

hurried up a bit by Australia and as a result players are running with

the ball a bit more. Cullen. Having to do some more work. Georgie Twigg.

Now, on the right, the colour white. Let it go. -- Nicola White. Cullen,

getting forward, and Great Britain start again with Kate

Richardson-Walsh. Georgie Twigg has space ahead of her. The pass was

just in front of Hannah McLeod who did well to keep up the attack. That

is a bit of a high ball. Free hit. They have two in the circle. Three

now. Shoulder charge. Penalty corner, Great Britain get one at

last. To be fair to the umpire it was exactly the same as

Richardson-Walsh and Emily Smith. She has exactly made that point.

Lily Owsley here comes through and for me that is no different to Kate

Richardson Walsh. No reason to change her decision for the penalty

corner. Australia have played their ace and lost that gamble. No more

video referrals. It is almost a silly referral by Australia. Madonna

Blyth has sent it upstairs and it is spot on.

Georgie Twigg will inject the ball for Great Britain.

Jodie Kenny makes a fantastic save as the post player.

Looks as though she stepped in front of Lynch.

No penalty corners in the first half, then two, long in quick

succession. Georgie Twigg to inject again. Kate Richardson-Walsh poised

again. Lots of discussion between players

and umpire. Are you asking for a corner? Great

Britain heading upstairs. Team video referral for Great Britain. They

think they deserve another penalty corner, it is down to the video

umpire. It is of an Australian foot. Lauren is saying she feels it is an

obstruction. It is an Australian foot, so a penalty corner. OK.

Worked out well for Great Britain. Kate Richardson-Walsh did the right

thing. The video referral was upheld. They have another penalty

corner. Six minutes and 22 seconds of the third period to play. What a

lively second half this has been so far. Georgie Twigg takes a position.

The Australians gets booted unsuited to try to defend this one. Will it

be third time lucky for Great Britain? They need to look for a

variation rather than straight off the top.

No luck in the three penalty corner attempts for Great Britain. They

still have possession. This really is an opportunity for

Great Britain to put Australia under pressure. Edwina Bone is sat on the

side, it is a long time when you play for an hour. Get key players on

the ball and see what you can get. 11 versus ten at the moment.

Australia with a chance to put pressure on Great Britain's goal

here. A backhand shot finds the goal. No.

Fantastic skills. A diving reverse stick shot. She almost gets a double

touch, otherwise that would have been goal bound, I think.

Ambitious for Kate Richardson-Walsh looking for Alex Danson. But she

couldn't deal with the pace of that long pass.

Great Britain still have a player over, remember.

Quality by Sophie Bray to lift the ball over the Australian defender's

stick. Australia won't do any damage but

they kept the ball in Britain's half with Bone on the bench.

All a bit scrappy in places. Can Unsworth create something here?

Oh, backhand goal from Alex Danson, an absolute beauty! Danson does what

she does best. I thought she'd missed the opportunity. I think

Susannah Townsend does really well. It's a great ball by Laura Unsworth

here. 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. Absolute bullet. 2-1. Well done, Great Britain, so

far. Alex Danson's 90 of the goal her 256th appearance.

The problem with the clock, the clock now start to take forward, but

it took a few seconds to restart. Just a couple of minutes of the

third period to play. It is so important that they hold

this leads now into the third quarter time. We'll concentration

needed for just over a minute and a half. -- real concentration.

Great Britain try to escape from the Australian attack.

Into the last 60 seconds of the third period. Great Britain are 2-1

up. Losing a few more seconds as

Australia attempt one final assault on the Great Britain goal.

Surely Great Britain will just do enough to keep this one goal lead

heading into the break at the end of the third period. The final 15

minutes segment to come. Last ten seconds of the quarter.

Great Britain in front, courtesy of a brilliant backhand goal from Alex

Danson. 2-1. A big final quarter coming up and

map is correct. Fantastic goal from Alex Danson. Back for the final

quarter very shortly, but let's bring you right up to date with what

has been happening in the weightlifting. Bit of an upset in

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

women's 48 kilograms. A mammoth final over two hours and multiple

lifts. The gold medal goes to Thailand. 92

kilograms in the snatch lifted. And then 108 kilograms in the clean

and jerk great combine total of 200 kilograms. Fantastic scenes. That is

an upset because China have won gold in that event in the last two

Olympics. Well done. Paul Drinkhall through to the men's second round in

table tennis. He lost the first game but fought back strongly to

progress. Well done to Paul Drinkhall. The wonderful thing about

being on this remarkable beach is that even at this time, there are

people still playing sport out here. There are a bunch of children still

playing a little bit of five aside beach football today. Further down

Copacabana, you may be able to see the beach volleyball venue. It is

lit up at the very end of the beach. If there is a better sporting venue

on the planet right now, then I would love to see it. I went there

this morning to watch Italy, the first match in the men's volleyball.

Italy against Australia. The Italians want oh- zero. This is what

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

Four and also online. All in taking on Germany. At the Hockey Centre,

back for the final quarter. 15 minutes of intense hockey to play

in this pool B match between the two great rivals. Great Britain the

Olympic bronze medallists in London 2012. Australia three times Olympic

champions. 1998... I beg your pardon, 1988, 1996 and 2000. Great

Britain 's women have never won Olympic gold. The men did in 1988.

Most recently. They took the bronze in London. They showed real form

last year at the World Championships again in London, coming back from

2-0 down to beat the Netherlands in a dramatic penalty shoot out. They

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

hockey tournament. Courtesy of two rate goals. One from Lily Owsley and

the second from Alex Danson. -- two great goals. A deliberate yellow

card. Edwina Bone, again! Second yellow. On the bench for the second

time. She has had more time sitting down and she has on her feet in this

match. Another five-minute sin bin infringement for Edwina Bone. Great

Britain will have the advantage of a player over for the next five

minutes. When you start to see Australia

losing their discipline, it is another little thing that gives you

confidence. Great Britain appealing for the penalty corner, the umpire

having none of it. It is a tough one for Great Britain now. Australia

with Edwina Bone on the sideline, down to ten players again. Do you

push for the third goal or do you keep it? Keep the ball around the

back? Keep battling to keep players or do you settle for 2-1 and try to

shut the game up? Just under 30 minutes of play remaining. The third

goal would probably win it for Great Britain. -- 13 minutes. The

Australian coach looks a little impatient. He sets high standards

for his team. He knows what it is like to play on the international

stage. He knows what his women are capable of and they haven't been

anywhere near the side of squad that was in the champions Trophy in June.

The men's team is the kookaburras. The ladies team trailing Great

Britain by 1-2. Great Britain's men did not have a

great start to the tournament earlier today, defeated 4-1 by

Belgium, on this pitch. It started at 12:30pm in the searing heat, 60

degrees pitch side. Still warm now, although much more pleasant.

It bounced off the shin of Emily Smith and out of play. Cullen, going

over to maybe launch one high. High across the face of goal. That was

risky from Cullen, but Great Britain get away with it. What was she

thinking? I have no idea. Yes, Sam Quek is in acres of space... Hinch

coming off her line is the saving grace. Great Britain on the attack.

Danson, could be a great individual goal. Good attack from Britain.

Danson and Owsley each looking for the second. The defence get caught

in two minds. Lynch makes the save. But in that situation, in training,

Lily Owsley would have smashed that into the back of the net. Edwina

Bohn still on the bench, and ten minutes to play. Great Britain lead

Australia by 2-1. That is certainly more like it.

Aerial the ball up the side of the pitch and make Australia work for

it. They look from the Australian number 18, Claxton. Robert by

Danson. -- robbed. Dwyer, sizing up options. Great Britain making a few

too many casual mistakes in this final period, first from Cullen,

most notably, almost betting in Australia for a goal. Now they can

settle things down with the captain, Kate Richardson-Walsh, pushing

forward. An Australian player on the floor. Australian possession. It is

so important that Great Britain, when they win the ball, keep

possession. They are just giving it back to Australia who are building

up pressure. As a result Great Britain are having to drop further

and further back. Needs clearance this time... And it is all the way

down field. A few more seconds taken from the clock by Great Britain,

their lead intact. The sin bin time is almost done for Edwina Bone,

Australia will be back to. Shortly. She is back on the field. -- back

to. -- rack to full strength shortly.

All the way back to Kate Richardson-Walsh. Sam Quek.

Unsworth. Owsley, trying to snuff out the Australian defence.

Fortunately the whistle had gone, otherwise Claxton would be in

trouble. She is getting spoken to anyway. Just stop it, stop it. Stop

the play. Stop it, is what she said. And quite right. Claxton tangling

with McKellen. It is just so important that Great Britain keep

their heads. Play calmly. The court is ticking down. Stick to your game

plan, no need to do anything silly or try anything special. Good

pick-up from Danson. Still in possession. Across the face. Sadly,

a little too deep for Helen Richardson-Walsh.

The Australian supporters are trying to raise the morale of their

players. Here they come. Six green and gold shirts, deep in the British

half. Unsworth, doing the tidying up for Great Britain. Can they turn

defence into attack? The umpire has blown. Australia, looking menacing.

Great Britain clear their lines. Helen Richardson-Walsh, away. Holds

it up. It is all getting a little bit frantic. You can hear the voices

of the players. Susanna Townsend. Performing a

clever juggling act. It is played forward to Alex Danson. She wriggles

her way into space. When she is on the ball there is an air of

anticipation that she might produce another little bit of magic to

switch the scoreline again. Four minutes to play, Great Britain 2-1

Australia. Kate Richardson-Walsh. Alex dance and get the stick on it,

can't control it. It is just much better from Great Britain, they have

stretched the field, now with three strikers, much higher up the field,

putting the Australian defence under pressure. As a result you can turn

the ball of a higher up the field, you have less distance, obviously,

to run, if you want to try to get the third goal. Australia, coming

forward. Once again at their attack is snuffed out. And the minute taken

from the clock. Aerial ball, all the way back, taken out of the air, good

control by Australia. That is too strong. Out of play. Those are the

things I find uncharacteristic from Australia. Simple passes, that

should really go stick to stick without any problems at all. Sam

Quek, confused as to the whereabouts of the ball... What a save. Maddie

Hinch, quickly off her line to deny Pires. As you say, Maddie Hinch has

been on fire tonight. No rush. Says Susanna Townsend to Sam Quek, who

leaves the ball. It is picked up by Holly were up but Great Britain

loose possession again. They have got to keep hold of it, Australia

are dangerous in this position... Penalty corner to Australia. One

minute 49 seconds on the clock. It is almost bullying tactics from

Australia. Thought there may have been a foul on top of the circle and

Kate Richardson-Walsh but she did not refer it. Georgina Morgan is on

the field for this corner, with Jodie Kenny. Hannah McLeod will be

run one for Great Britain. Catherine Slattery, to inject for Australia.

Australia, poised, attempting to level the score line. There is the

trap, the drag flick... It is behind. Off target that time from

Estrella. They were looking for a deflection on the far right-hand

side. She has got to get a on that. The amount of times they would have

practised that in training. She looked scared, almost.

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

match. Great turn to - one Australia. Australia, running out of

time. Running out of opportunities. Great Britain, all 11 players back,

in and around the circle. Appeals for a penalty corner. They fall on

deaf ears. Fantastic defence from Cullen, moving at pace, she got her

left hand on the floor to block Brooke Pires. That is out of play

and it could be the final instalment of this match. The clock reaches the

15 second mark. Great Britain are in possession.

It is all over bar the screaming. Great Britain get the Olympic hockey

tournament off to a dream start. Defeating their old rivals,

Australia, 2-1. The goals from Lily Owsley and Alex Danson, final score,

Great Britain 2-1 Australia. A tour effect performance --

terrific. We turn our attention to swimming, the finals coming up, the

end of four years of sacrifice. The Aquatic Centre is located in the

southern section of the Olympic Park and it is where our team await,

expertly led by Helen Skelton. We are psyched for the action. There

has been Samba drums and headdresses. We had to make Mark

take off his headdress. I was at salsa lessons next? What

are you most excited about, Becky? James Guy, Max Litchfield, Adam

Peaty, Ross murder, what is not to be excited about? James Guy, not his

best time this morning, but there is no point in writing him off. It was

a decent swim. We are critical looking at them in the water, he

struggled a bit towards the end, got tired and had to fight and did not

look like he had much left, but it was a heat. He has had rest and

recovery time, and I know it is a silly thing to say, but some people

do swim better in the afternoon, or when they have raced already. We saw

it lest you at the World Championships. He did exactly the

same thing last year the World Championships. In the evening he

took a silver medal, only dropping two seconds. I really hope it is

what he is doing tonight, to get that silver medal. We love repeating

things. If you does that night, fair play. He looked like he was trying

hard this morning. I hope it was just tactics, blowing the cobwebs

off. Hannah Miley and Aimee Willmott also

booked their places in the finals of the individual medley. Let's talk to

Sharron Davies. She's down there. She's the first person who says them

come out of the pool. What did you make of the swims? Gower welcome to

my lovely spot, what a fantastic view. I see you over my shoulder.

Hannah looked really good, two seconds off her PB. Hannah was six

in the Olympics in 2008 and fifth in London. I hope she want before, I

hope she gets a medal, she deserves it. The silver and bronze medals are

up for any of the ladies. The world record was very nearly broken this

morning. How impressed were you by Adam Peaty this morning? Ross had a

great swim, going in ninth. Adam had a point to prove and we were all

kind of talking about it as the heats were going on and we were not

worried for Adam at all. That is just what Adam does. Years so

confidence, swum a great race and looked so strong all the way

through. Little cheer behind because we saw Max Blix field flying the

flag -- Max Litchfield flying the flag for Sheffield. .

Really looking forward to this first final. There is Jay Litherland,

fourth fastest for this final. He will be in line six for the USA.

Then the two Japanese. I think this chap has a cracking

chance of a gold medal. The second Japanese but the fastest this year.

Four minutes 80. Saito is the guy that delivers. He

has been strong all year, but the 22-year-old claiming it -- coming

out. Very interesting that the two Japanese and two Americans, three,

four, five, six. They will have been setting in the ready room for this

big moment. -- sitting in the ready room. We should certainly talk

quickly about Max Litchfield. What a brilliant swim. Lifetime best to

qualify for this final. He was fifth and now fifth into the Olympic

final. Great Britain had a superb first morning. Almost perfect. This

is the first final of the men's 400 medley.

Medals? Japan or America? Seto delivers. Short long discourse that

a course. Seto is capable. Strong fly swimmer, Hosszu, he will be out

quick. There is Max Litchfield. -- Seto will be out quick.

The fastest eight men in the world, the Olympic final, the first final

here in Rio. Max Litchfield will be one lane from the top in lane two.

Two lengths butterfly, two breaststroke, two backstroke and

then two freestyle. The two Japanese are going very well

indeed. Fraser-Holmes in the yellow cap going with them. He is often a

good swimmer in the season, but can't deliver in a major meet. Seto

is expected and he looks towards Hagino to try to beat him. He was

his hero growing up. Seto is the man who can cope with the big pressure.

Chase Kalisz did well to qualify. Hagino is the backstroke, second to

turn. The Japanese looking very strong. Fraser-Holmes of Australia

on the left-hand side of the shot, Commonwealth record holder. He

started well, as well. Great Britain's Max Litchfield is in Lane

macro two is going well. Maybe fourth or fifth position, but very

tight third to sixth. Hagino taking a strong lead. Both Japanese using

almost all of the 15 metres they are allowed.

I would imagine the breaststroke has been worked on. If Hagino can hold

the lead through the breaststroke leg, he will be strong. Kayla is a

fantastic breaststroke. Hagino verse for Japan, Seto second

for Japan. The charge now coming from Chase K list from the USA. A

great leg so far, getting into medal contention.

Three swimmers and separated by three seconds at the turn, now 1.5

seconds separates all three of them. Seto has caught Hagino. It will all

be down to the freestyle leg. As Hagino got enough of a lead? I

wouldn't be surprised if this is that even with 100 metres to go.

Hagino still leading for Japan, but Chase K list, my goodness me. --

Chase Kalisz. I wonder if this one metre, 1.5 metre lead will be

enough. Not .7 -- zero .74 of a second.

Kalisz trains with Bob Beamon, Michael Phelps' coach, taking a year

out of university thought will return to Georgia but has been

training with Phelps and Bowman. Hagino is holding on. But Kalisz is

coming back. Just inside the last 15 metres into the wall, Kalisz really

made a move. Hagino is watching him, breathing to his right. Kalisz also

breathing to the right of this will go right down to the last 15 metres.

Goodness me, Hagino Japan looks like he will win the first final office

2016 Olympic Games in Japan and it will be gold to Japan.

Gold and bronze to the Japanese and Max Litchfield fourth. Brilliant

swim for Great Britain. Wow. Just outside Dan Wallace's British

record. Litchfield having a fantastic swim. The best time for

him. You can't ask for more. Fourth place, you will be disappointed, but

the three men in the centre were really pushing and driving this

race. Hagino pretty much lead from the start. Seto add that all some

fly and Hagino took it over on the backstroke and didn't look back. He

had to hold off a very fast finishing Kalisz of the USA. Kalisz

has knocked his best time down by 2.5, three seconds, just to try to

get the gold medal, but just pipped. There is the first gold medal to

Japan, to a man who broke his elbow at the World Championships on the

training camp before last year's World Championships, and could not

swim. What a fantastic start to the Olympic Games in the swimming pool.

Hagino wins the gold. Japan gets two medals. The bronze to Seto. Max

Litchfield, brilliant fourth place. The first gold medal in the pool at

the 2016 Olympics goes to Japan. Congratulations. It was a real

battle in the middle back, wasn't it? Such a close race, but I'm so

pleased for Max Litchfield. Getting fourth in the first Olympic Games,

that was his first global final ever. And he has come here, done two

personal-best times and improved. He is only 21, he has such a bright

future. Where you guys worried that he did a PB this morning, faster

than ever before, were you worried he would not be able to back it up?

Ultimately, he had to do the best time to get the final, so to make

the final was his Olympic gold medal, let's say. Getting there and

seeing what happened. To come out for, between Kalisz, Hagino, Seto,

it would be those for the podium, but he was the best of the rest.

Danny Wallace's record is 4:11.0. You will take a lot of confidence

from it. Not just Max Litchfield, but his younger brother Joe was a

European champion earlier this year. A lot of early mornings in the

household. Let's look at to the women's 100 metres butterfly. Sharon

is going to try to grab Macs, but we will keep an eye out for when that

happens. Defending Olympic champion, world holder. Is anyone going to get

it? She was European champion at 14 years of age and she was unbeatable.

Came to the Olympic Games, came forth, and did not perform well. She

has broken the world record by nearly half a second. If she is on

form, I would say she will win, but she could before -- pushed. Medals

are not decided this evening, but shrub stump could win it. We have

seen things happen at Olympic Games. Would it be fair to say she is a

victim of her own success quest might let's hear from Max

Litchfield. Max, quite today. You must be pleased. Yes, very happy.

Shame to come in fourth and just miss out, but two PB is in a day,

can't complain. This is your first world final. Frustrating not to get

a medal but fantastic swims. Places to work on? There is always things

you can go back and work on after you have erased. There is a few

things where I can do better. There is definitely things to prove and I

go back next year and put those things in place and do better.

Hopefully we will have a good GB night. Well done. Cheers. Huge

congratulations to Max Litchfield. Not a bad day at the office for him.

First Olympics, first final to come away from, congratulations. Store

that name in your memory banks. Time for the women's 100 metres butterfly

demi- finals. You join us when they are just

introducing. Two massive roistering that

interview with Max Litchfield. A truly brilliant swim. I can't

believe he thought he would come here and come forth. A great

achievement. The guys who were going under 4.10, I'm not sure where you

could do much about that -- he could do much. He should be proud of what

he has achieved. Sometimes you look at for and say, I could have got

third, but I'm not sure he could have. That is a great result to be

effectively the best European. It would have won the European

Championships by a street, what he just did. Fantastic sprint

butterfly, Kelsi Worrell of the USA. The defending Olympic champion goes

in fourth. just tactics, blowing the cobwebs

off. Here is the defending Olympic

champion. Took time out to have a baby. And look at where she is. The

fastest qualifier for the semifinal, she looks in super shape. Great form

after two years out. 2014, 2015, both seasons, did not swim, but is

now back and getting better with each swim. She first took part in

the American trials at the age of 12, Sydney 2000, a tough competitor,

very dangerous, I believe. The wheels came off a little bit in her

heat this morning but still swam very well, defeated Kelsie Worrell,

who is in lane five, the winner of the US trials. This is not an easy

thing to do, get yourself ready, then the starter pulls you back. He

is asking the crowd to can't download it. It is exciting. Asking

import duties, asking the crowd to be absolutely quiet. -- is asking in

Portuguese. That was close but you are allowed

to do that much, the 20 age old, Ottesen, a great first 50, just as

Andy mentioned this morning. You talk about the wheels coming off, it

can get very heavy in the shoulders and arms in the last 15 minutes. She

is 16 hundredths of a second faster than this morning. She really

attacked at this morning, coming back is Kelsie Worrell, also going

well is the 16-year-old Japanese Xinyi, in six -- Ikee. She has just

watched team-mate and will now win the semifinal, but that is not that

quick, you know, and fourth, dangerous. Ikee, not even in the

shot here, the 16-year-old Japanese. I am sure that she was inspired by

the men in that first race. The 16-year-old, just a little touch,

just enough. Super short, all the heads were down, -- super shot.

Ikee, of Japan, wins it, Vollmer, second, a very dangerous third and

fourth, but not particularly quick. We have been joined by Justin Rose.

You are here for the golf. Well, not here, for the golf, obviously! This

is your first swimming gala, what do you make of it so far? It is my

first Olympic experience. It is amazing. The energy... I have been

driving past the Olympic village all week, now it is great to experience

it. Following you on Twitter you seem to be having a great time.

There are some obvious notable absences in the golf team, what made

you want to go? Since it was announced three or four years ago I

have been excited. My wife is a gymnast, so she is really up for it,

but I just truly believe it can help grow and showcase the game. It is

the pinnacle of most sports, so why not for golf? Is your wife here, to

watch the gymnastics? She gets here on Monday. It must be a different

experience being in a team environment, when usually travel the

world on your own. That is why I wanted to get here for the opening

ceremony, and go out with Team GB, to feel like you're something much

bigger than your own sport. Did you enjoy it? It was amazing. 105,000

people, everyone so happy, so many different cultures and nationalities

but everybody connected by sport and getting along so good. Do you hope

that this evening you will learn something from watching swimmers in

the pool? They say if you can just click the water it is like a bunker

shot! I have so much respect for these guys. I took my first couple

of swimming lessons this year, it is so hard. Why did you not call us? I

am nowhere near that level! Then you would need to give mark a golf

lesson. He needs golf lessons far less than I need swimming lessons!

Back to the commentary team for the second semifinal.

A fascinating chat. Straight into the second semifinal. The

16-year-old from Canada, a huge talent. Oleksiak, huge talent,

improving all the time, and from Sweden, the world and European

champion Sarah Sjostrom, but she has not yet won an Olympic medal. She

looked a bit ropey this morning. Just warming up, Rusty, throwing of

cobwebs. I thought she looked nervous. In the training session she

just looked every bit... I don't know. Scared is a bit strong. But

she is the world champion and world record-holder and is going in four,

Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden. The first semifinal was not to kill it quick.

-- not particularly. The world champion and world record holder,

Sjostrom, decent start, and also a good start for Lu China, medallist

four years ago. Four years of training, now is the time to

deliver. The Australian, McKeon, from a very strong swimming family.

Her father, mother and uncle, all swam for Australia. She is going

very well, a great swim for her. With 25 to go now, Sjostrom, just

beginning to turn on the burners, and this looks good. Look at the

world record line. It is hers, and she is just two tenths of a second

outside of it. She just looked like she turned on the gas with 25 to go.

And much more relaxed now. A very deceptive swimmer from Sjostrom,

world-class racing there. Started slowly, building into it. McKeon

took the first 50 metres. Then Sjostrom winding up with ten, 15

metres to go. By this time she is three quarters body length ahead of

the rest of the field. Sorry, McKeon, three quarters body length

ahead, and that was reversed within 20 metres. She just decided it was

time to go, and she went. That will do her confidence a lot of good,

going into the final is the fastest swimmer. It should calm the nerves a

bit. The first semifinal was not that fast. A look at the times.

Second semifinal, the world champion Sarah Sjostrom, and I can tell you

that the first five have made it. Which means that Kelsie Worrell of

the USA is not in the final. So the finalists...

A whole second ahead, Sjostrom, and the real news, Kelsie Worrell of the

USA, not in the final. Justin Rose, when you walk around

the village, having been there a couple of days, you are a sportsman

at a certain level, what is it like to see other people you get

starstruck by? Yeah, of course, what is impressive is walking around the

village and trying to guess what other people do. Looking at body

shapes and body types. You think, that is a sprinter, a gymnast... You

just admire all the different types of athletes in the village. What do

you make of the golf course? I will see it tomorrow for the first time.

My caddie really likes it. They have built it from scratch so you never

know what you're going to get but everybody is excited and positive

about it. You love a golf course. You have a permanent golf time. --

golf tan. Same here. Let's turn our attention to James

Guy. 400 metres freestyle final. We spoke about him not being the

happiest bunny this morning. But how confident are you of him doing

something in the final? He did a similar time last year in

the World Championships, so hopefully tonight he will drop those

two seconds again like you did, a personal best, because that would

set him up for the 200 metres freestyle, argued league is better

event. That is tomorrow, so it will be good for him just to get in the

water and hopefully get a medal. We need to talk about the reigning

Olympic champion, he has had a chequered few years, it is fair to

say, he's served a drugs ban that was not actually announced until he

served it, then spent a week in jail for drink-driving following a car

crash in 2013. But he has dominated this event at the last two World

Championships and is the reigning world champion. Plenty going on,

allegedly, out with the pool, to talk about, when it comes to Sun

Yang. Will that mean anything to James Guy?

I don't think he will even though, you don't go all those kind of

things, you just concentrate on the race. -- you don't Google -- I can

think you will even know. My goodness me, with his big coat

on, he will be warm. David McKeown of Australia goes in lane two. Then

the really big guys in the centre. This will be hard to call. This may

be one of the closest 400 metres freestyle is in history. If Sun Yang

has not got the afterburners on, and he is now, if not, it would be a

close finish. I am disappointed he is here, personally. He has been

taking medication for his heart problem, then all of suddenly no

longer has a heart problem, and he is still here. But he is racing, and

he will be a real threat. The European champion, the third fastest

qualifier for this final, Gabrielle Detti in three. James Guy did not

swim particularly well in the heats, but he did enough to get into the

final. On the other side of Sun Yang, Mack Horton, fastest in the

world this year. Three. 41. If you does that, definite medal.

Mack Horton has to get it out here. He is younger, maybe years

intimidated by Sun Yang, we don't know. Splashing him. It has all been

blown way out of proportion, but I have to say, the answer from Mack

Horton was, I don't talk about drug cheats, which is a strong statement

to make before the finals. Conor Dwyer the fastest qualifier from the

USA is in four. He has been in this position with three of his mates

with him in the relay previously. The final of the men's 400 metres

freestyle. James Guy in the red hat, one from the bottom. Sixth fastest

qualifier. Right next to Sun Yang. Sun Yang had a very slow reaction to

the gun. Good start from James Guy and Conor Dwyer. The tactics in this

race will be fascinating and very interestingly Sun Yang started

pretty slowly will stop he must have heard my disapproval. But he's in

it. James Guy doing really well. Really impressive. David McCullough

going out first will stop -- David McKeon going in first. David McKeon

and Connor Jaeger in lane one, strong. Nobody really showing their

cards just yet, but James Guy is taking the lead now. He is working

pretty hard done that first hundred. I think he's working particularly

hard also in lane four, Conor Dwyer. James Guy trying to break it early.

Mack Horton, the yellow Hat in the centre, looks very, very comfortable

indeed. This is a clear break very, very early from James Guy. This is

very brave indeed. He has great 200 freestyle strength, he is world

champion in that. In that 4x200 relay last year at the World

Championship is where Great Britain one, it was down to him overtaking

the Americans and pulling the race back. He has guts, taking this race

by the scruff of the neck. Only the last 200 will see if he has enough

in him ahead of world-record pace. Halfway turn and James Guy of Great

Britain leading by nearly one second. He has worked very hard down

this first 200 metres and is now the charge will come. Mack Horton

looking very comfortable in the yellow hat and he is starting to

make the move. This is where he delivered in the heats. That pink

suit one lane from James Guy, goodness me. They are charging. This

is. James Guy trying to hold off the field. He still has 150 metres to

go. This will be tough if he has heavy arms at this point. As you

mentioned, Mack Horton looking over the yellow cap, a man capable of

3.50 one. Sorry, 3.40 one. Sun Yang winding up. The middle lanes are

winding up, reeling him in. Let's hope James Guy has something left.

It was nine tenths at 200 it is too tense at 300. They are starting to

go. Mack Horton has gone to his feet. Sun Yang has maxed him --

matched him every single length. This last 50 will be absolutely

special. Conor Dwyer has a fantastic finish, as well. James Guy still

there. Connor Jaeger of America. The 20-year-old Australian is being

urged on to beat Sun Yang. Sun Yang trains in Australia still,

amazingly. Go on, Mack Horton. Sun Yang closes to us in the pink suit.

Mack Horton, the 20-year-old Australian in the yellow hat, Mack

Horton still has it undertakes the goal. The world is a happier place

for that result. Mack Horton gets the gold, Sun Yang the silver, the

bronze to Gabriele Detti of Italy and James Guy finishing in sixth.

Not a bad time, 3:44.6. Goodness me, he has done over the far side of the

lane and he has one goal for Australia in the 400 free. A

brilliant swim, absolutely outstanding. Mack Horton staying in

the middle, let's James Guy do all the work, it has to be said. And

then just wait, make a move and just hold off Sun Yang. Brilliant.

What about James Guy for the 200? Great strength in the first four

lengths. I've got to say, the guts of James Guy, I think it was the

only thing he could have done. We had to go for it. The others were

enormously quick. I don't think he is a 3.41 freestyle at all. Massive

look over from Mack Horton. Well done, sir. Olympic champion 400

metres freestyle. He's moved through the ranks over the years, 2013 five

gold medals at the world Junior Championships. He was clearly on

form. This guy has been swinging well. Through to last year, when he

had a bug at the World Championships and couldn't pull it off. He has

come back now for the gold medal. Well, it was a brave swim, wasn't

it, by James Guy? He was out there for so long and you kept saying, I'm

nervous, I'm nervous. Imagine how his parents feel. What do you make

of James' swim? He was great to 200. I was really excited about his 200.

It was very, very brave of him. For me, not the right tactics at Olympic

Games. He should have spoken about that with his coach. You know how

these boys swim and he kind of took it on and did take a risk, but now

is not really the time to take a risk at an Olympic Games, in my

eyes! He was great to 200. 200 his his main event and I'm really

excited for tomorrow and I hope he doesn't let that affect into most,

he is not too disappointed. The Europeans, there was a lot of talk

about how he didn't get his game plan early in the competition, but

it didn't affect him. Has he got the mental strength? Definitely. We

haven't spoken to his coat, they might be focusing on the 200 free,

the 200 relay and the 200 butterfly, I don't know. The time we have from

the trials, one second faster, that was slightly disappointing. It will

take a lot of confidence. It did look smooth in the beginning, but

the wrong tactics. First Olympic final. Not a bad day, week, and it

is still early. Let's hear from Sharron. He worked hard, that was

the only way you could do it. That is my plan, no pressure, go out fast

and try to hold on. It is a very painful way to do it. Do you ever

regret when you finish that that is your plan? You busy the last 100,

when they were going past me, oh, no. It is a great venue and happy to

be year and trying to fight for the medals. I so your mother earlier,

she had has hands over her face. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for

my coaches and all my friends, so thank you very much and Mike grandad

up in heaven. Talk to us by Ju Reti. You sprint was there. The first 200

was pretty comfortable, really. You need to rest those legs, see you

tomorrow. Thank you. We'll see James Guy tomorrow in the heats of the 200

meter freestyle. He mentioned his family there because we talk a lot

about how families support. His family uprooted and moved down south

because he wasn't quite settling at boarding school. It was a heck of a

commitment for the whole family. It is a real team effort and you

sometimes forget other people's sacrifices. Parents getting up at

5:30am and driving you to school when you attend the 13 years of age.

I don't know when you started early mornings, but it was young. Everyone

has to make commitments and these guys moving house and his dad moving

jobs, it is a wonderful story. He seems slightly disappointed. There

is another race and he will pick himself up quickly. The only way he

will get a medal is to stay with Sun Yang abstract to do something at the

end. Bronze is up for grabs. Congratulations to Mack Horton and

let's not forget he is a lucky boy. There was a massive car crash.

World champion in this race, the 400 metres individual medley. And now

Seto Japan has to be satisfied with bronze. It was a very fast race,

4:09.7. Bronze it was. Slightly slower. 1.3 seconds slower than the

heats. I wonder if he went to quit this morning. He went out quickly on

his first 100 metres butterfly. I think he blew a lot of his energy

there. These two men, 4.06 for both. 1.2 second best for Chase for the

USA. The history of the great Michael Phelps, they have really

owned this event. I wonder if this guy is the future. He is just 22

years of age. A fantastic last 200 metres. His breast drug leg was

absolutely extraordinary. He took 1.5 seconds off second place.

Good enough for gold in Rio in the men's 400 meter individual medley.

Bronze in London in 2012, four years later, Olympic champion for Hagino

of Japan. What a meet Japan have had already. First race, gold and

bronze. Hagino and Seto. Almost the perfect start for Japan, couldn't

have asked for too much more. Gold and silver would have been slightly

better, but goodness me, Hagino Olympic champion in the men's 400

metres individual medley. From the land of the rising Sun, two

new favourite sons in the swimming pool. The bronze medal goes to Seto

and the gold goes to Hagino. Olympic champion men's 400 medley.

Two medals for Japan in the men's 400 metres individual medley.

Congratulations to Hagino, the new Olympic champion. Is he the next

Michael Phelps? In 2013, in Barcelona, they had a cardboard

cutout of him and it had all these events on it. I think he was doing

seven events or something and I think they thought he was going to

do a Michael Phelps. Unfortunately, I think it flopped after day two. He

is now doing... Japan had a great run. You Lowe a great start for

them. Tokyo in four years, I expect them back on the podium them. I

can't wait for a Brazilian swimmer in the pool. These guys go crackers.

We are surrounded by Japanese bands and they are very proud and rightly

so. Look at the photographers. That is unbelievable.

Hagino is a great swimmer. He has done it now. And Tokyo in four

years' time, he could be like Michael Phelps. Hagino was the first

young man to hear his national anthem playing out this evening in

the Aquatic Centre in Brazil. The medals are lovely. You like a bit of

jewellery. Looking at them, they are just amazing. Normally you get a

little teddy, don't you? It is a monkey, isn't it? It looks a bit

like a Pokemon. It was probably just a Pokemon! I don't understand that

game. We found a Pokemon! So, the first national anthem we heard

tonight was the Japanese one, will we hear our national anthem playing

this evening? You never know. Hannah Smiley is one lady we are very proud

of. COMMENTATOR: Hannah Smiley winning gold at the European

Championships. It is silver, well done, Hannah. World Championship

Silver Medal. Hannah Miley winning gold for Scotland, what a start to

the Commonwealth Games. I would love to say that we have done it because

it is every athlete's dream to come away with a medal, but the journey

we've had so far and who I have become has changed my perspective.

Yes, winning a medal would be amazing but that isn't it. It sounds

so final, if you get a medal, it is like finishing a computer game, now

what? For me, the journey doesn't stop there, you keep going. I would

love the medal, I wouldn't be training without wanting to get on

the podium but I don't see it as the final achievement, there's so much

more to achieve. She is such an endearing young women, for so many

reasons. Very grounded and down-to-earth. With spoken about the

unique way she trains with her family in the small swimming pool.

She said to Sharron that her opponent was out in front of

everyone, but Hannah said that she has to back it up tonight so you

don't know what could happen. Some might say it's naive but that's the

right attitude to have. Yes, Hannah is one of those athletes, the

butterflies aren't really here for her. She is coming to her third

Olympics. It disappears a bit. The great thing she does, the hard work,

preparation, going up and down, following the line and she does its

well, which is why she is successful, she puts in the hours.

Her family are oriented around her and her Olympic success. No one

deserves the medal more than her. She talked about the fact that she

has gone to the village but she isn't worried about taking pictures

of Phelps, the way that James Guy is. The first Olympics, you are, you

won two medals, but your first Olympics, you are excited, you go to

the village, I saw Muhammad Ali and it was mind blowing, the things that

you see. She's done it, she's been there, I'm not saying that she took

a lot of pictures but she's very confident now. I think it is going

to be a race for second and third because Hosszu has gone. If she

swims her best time, she will win a medal. Let's talk to Sharron Davies

because you've talked to her, you've seen her winning medals on the big

stages, but what would the Olympic medal mean to her? Absolutely, this

is my event and Hannah is closed by her dad and I was closed by my dad,

lot of similarities. She will want this more than anything, the Olympic

medals are the ones that count. Sometimes she can overanalyse

things, if there is one thing I would say it would be relax and

enjoy it. Be prepared, she doesn't have the best action, she has to

claw it back. She is normally very good on the freestyle. Don't go into

panic mode too much. I think the Japanese are having a blinder. Four

years before Tokyo, working in their programme of investing in sport.

Don't count out. Hannah Miley is in the final of this one and she isn't

the only Brit, so is Aimee Willmott, second-generation Olympian in her

family. COMMENTATOR: We saw another Japanese

swimmer. The men got gold and bronze in the individual medley.

Aimee Willmott swimming at the London Olympic Aquatic Centre. What

a great opportunity for her. The fifth fastest qualifier for this

final, fantastic place to be, really. I can't think of better

places for these two Brits to be qualifying than fourth and fifth.

The Commonwealth champion and British record-holder, Hannah Miley.

The pressure is off a little bit? I think the pressure is off. Becky has

mentioned, sorry, Sharron called it right, Miley doesn't have to

pressure. On her best time she is capable of silver or bronze. Drado

will be one of the women trying to stop her. -- Dirado. Hannah isn't

going to be up there, the first free, Dirado, Hosszu and Belmonte,

who is very strong. Belmonte is the second fastest qualifier, but

goodness me, what an amazing swim it was from Hosszu, the second fastest

in history, nearly breaking the world record. Just missed it by 15

one hundredths of a second, she turned with 100 metres to go three

seconds beneath the pace. During the last 100 metres freestyle under one

minute, very unusual. The same as Ryan Lochte doing it in the men's

400 medley. 15 seconds slower than the time she did four years ago. We

might see the record going this evening. Four seconds up when she

turns? Maybe two, give herself a bit extra. Clever, clever.

Katinka Hosszu, for hungry, in four and Great Britain have them

surrounded, Hannah Miley and Aimee Willmott. Very fast, straight out of

the traps, Katinka Hosszu of Hungary. I believe Hosszu will try

to get more the lead before she turns to freestyle. What was
