Day 10 BBC Four: 16.00-19.00

:00:00. > :00:08.we are. He kills you so beautifully, Murray. Death by 1000 cuts. The

:00:09. > :00:14.rhythm has gone from Murray and it is for- four. It is a bit of a fight

:00:15. > :00:17.just now. It could have been a dangerous game. How quickly a match

:00:18. > :00:34.can change. That is the set. 7-5. How brave was

:00:35. > :00:44.that from Andy Murray? Huge pass and pine Martin Del Porto is back in it.

:00:45. > :00:53.It is crushing power. Great skill. He has to take the second set. So

:00:54. > :01:04.good. Huge shot from this huge man. 1-1. Solid start to this third set

:01:05. > :01:09.from Murray. That was a rocket. No danger to the server so far in set

:01:10. > :01:18.number three. He has got what he wanted, Murray gets the break. Three

:01:19. > :01:21.set points for Andy Murray. Brilliant, Andy Murray is one set

:01:22. > :01:29.away from his second Olympic gold-medal. Difficult to fathom but

:01:30. > :01:34.it happened. An early break in this fourth set. Gorgeous and

:01:35. > :01:48.mouthwatering shot to break back from Andy Murray. Del Porto gets

:01:49. > :02:00.three successive breaks. The torture is increasing on Del Potro. Andy

:02:01. > :02:08.Murray moves in front. Out of nowhere, Del Potro breaks once more.

:02:09. > :02:18.What a lion heart he is. That is not real. That is the break back. He is

:02:19. > :02:24.one game away from the gold medal. After four hours, it is the

:02:25. > :02:28.gold-medal pond. Andy Murray is a double Olympic gold medallist. You

:02:29. > :02:38.have to feel for Del Potro. Greedy man had given any more? -- could a

:02:39. > :02:42.man had given any more? ODE: Four hours of tennis. It ended late for

:02:43. > :02:47.all of you last night but hopefully it was worth the wait. Andy Murray

:02:48. > :02:54.is a double Olympic gold medals. It was the final of five medals for

:02:55. > :02:57.Great Britain. Gold medals, and important statistic. Five gold

:02:58. > :03:02.medals for Great Britain yesterday can be ended today nine looking like

:03:03. > :03:09.this. How about that? 15 gold medals in total. Andy Murray, Justin Rose,

:03:10. > :03:15.two for Max Whitlock and Jason Kenney in the cycling. They have

:03:16. > :03:22.rocketed up the medal table. Above table by virtue of the higher Silver

:03:23. > :03:26.Medal tally. -- above China. It was emotional for people watching it.

:03:27. > :03:34.John Inverdale was there and he is that the boxing. You have seen him

:03:35. > :03:38.at Wimbledon and at the Olympics before, at last night was really

:03:39. > :03:44.emotional, wasn't it? Grown men were crying in the press box that does

:03:45. > :03:49.not happen often. When the two of them embraced at the net, they were

:03:50. > :03:52.both in floods of tears. It was a partisan crowd. Half the crowd were

:03:53. > :03:59.Argentina and the other half were Brazilian. They wood against

:04:00. > :04:09.Argentina. It was a fantastic Davis Cup atmosphere. Davis Cup, winning

:04:10. > :04:17.Wimbledon, retaining his Olympic title and becoming a father. It was

:04:18. > :04:23.amazing last night. Del Potro was like a fighter, down for the count

:04:24. > :04:32.if you time. Two heavyweights in action. When they debate the

:04:33. > :04:36.greatest sportsman in Britain, you have to talk about Andy Murray. We

:04:37. > :04:42.have some light flyweight is behind me in the ring. The first British

:04:43. > :04:50.athlete in the ring today. Muhammad Ali. He is 20 years old from

:04:51. > :04:51.Keighley and West Yorkshire. He is up against an opponent from when

:04:52. > :05:17.Isabella. The boxer in the red corner

:05:18. > :05:25.representing Great Britain. Muhammad Ali.

:05:26. > :05:34.Introducing the boxer in the blue corner, representing Venezuela. Yoel

:05:35. > :05:46.Finol. REFEREE: Held up, no blows -- no low

:05:47. > :06:08.blows, check your gloves. Good luck. COMMENTATOR: Here we go, we are

:06:09. > :06:13.under way. Action from the 52 kilograms flyweight division. This

:06:14. > :06:17.is the action from the second preliminary round and it features

:06:18. > :06:22.boxers from Great Britain and Venezuela. The boxer in the red

:06:23. > :06:31.vest, the taller out of the two meant is Muhammad Ali. 20 years of

:06:32. > :06:36.age, making his Olympic debut. The light flyweight tournament has

:06:37. > :06:39.already concluded. He is the tournament number five seed, seven

:06:40. > :06:41.in the world, is tending his campaign underway.

:06:42. > :06:50.Off the ropes after being put in the place of that confinement is Yoel

:06:51. > :06:54.Finol. Ranked number 12 in the world and is competing in his second bout

:06:55. > :07:06.after an impressive win in the first preliminary round. We need a strong

:07:07. > :07:10.referee. Muhammad Ali is a front foot boxer against a southpaw. This

:07:11. > :07:13.will be untidy. He will try to grab and hold when Muhammad Ali is coming

:07:14. > :07:25.forward. He is so intent on that front foot.

:07:26. > :07:31.His intensity is very high, Muhammad Ali. He keeps coming forward,

:07:32. > :07:35.looking to land at Shotts and close the ground. He needs to keep his

:07:36. > :07:40.guard up high. This will be scrappy so we need a strong referee.

:07:41. > :07:47.Muhammad Ali has had problems with cuts in the past. This is the type

:07:48. > :07:54.of intensity he brings to the boxing ring. Very skilful. And on the front

:07:55. > :07:58.foot, walking his man down and trying to find a home for his own

:07:59. > :08:07.punches. Good two punch salvo from Yoel Finol. He is going to try to

:08:08. > :08:11.create room and space on the inside. Mo Ali is already getting

:08:12. > :08:15.frustrated. The referee at knowledges that. Yoel Finol is

:08:16. > :08:20.holding. Mo Ali needs to move his head on the weigh-in and keep his

:08:21. > :08:23.guard Mason high, block the shot on the arms and elbows. Keep the

:08:24. > :08:31.pressure boxing going. Close the distance down. Yoel Finol did well

:08:32. > :08:38.to repel that combination from Mo Ali. This is untidy. Yoel Finol

:08:39. > :08:44.sticking his chin out and laying a trap for Mo Ali. Hoping he can

:08:45. > :08:50.counter. Again the book shelves are in a clinch. Neither man landing a

:08:51. > :08:56.clean punch. Good southpaw jab from Yoel Finol through the guard of Mo

:08:57. > :09:01.Ali. Good right hand from Mo Ali, catching his man on the ropes.

:09:02. > :09:06.Ending the round on the front foot is Muhammad Ali, trying to close the

:09:07. > :09:11.distance on his man. Untidy first round of boxing between these two.

:09:12. > :09:15.Will then enjoy moments of success. I think there was more success from

:09:16. > :09:23.the British boxer. That is Lee Pullen in the corner, trying to

:09:24. > :09:26.listen in. Nice and calm in that corner which is good to see. Yoel

:09:27. > :09:32.Finol having problems keeping his opponent at bay, Mo Ali on his front

:09:33. > :09:36.foot, keep coming forward. The referee has told 3-4 times in the

:09:37. > :09:44.Stroud about the holding. He will to watch that. -- in this round. The

:09:45. > :09:47.only thing that Mo Ali has to look forward -- look out for is his cuts.

:09:48. > :09:56.Occasionally be the heads will clash. Let us look at the scores.

:09:57. > :10:06.10-9 across the board in favour of the Venezuelan boxer.

:10:07. > :10:13.Into the second round, Great Britain's Muhammad Ali, the taller

:10:14. > :10:17.of the two boxers in red, has conceded the first round. He is not

:10:18. > :10:22.boxing at his higher speed as we have seen in the past. Burst of

:10:23. > :10:27.punches but many were blocked by Mo Ali but some got through from Yoel

:10:28. > :10:33.Finol. Mo Ali goes back onto the front foot. Muhammad Ali is such a

:10:34. > :10:38.talented boxer. Already an Olympian at just 20 years of age. Reigning

:10:39. > :10:51.European champion and silver medallist. That was that the

:10:52. > :10:58.tournament in Azerbaijan. He will need to watch how he conducts

:10:59. > :11:06.himself. Muhammad Ali is fit and has a high work rate for the entire

:11:07. > :11:10.three three minute rounds. He is getting too close and then gets tied

:11:11. > :11:16.up. He needs to measure the distance better with his lead hand especially

:11:17. > :11:19.before he throws that right hand. Engine with the feet and measure

:11:20. > :11:25.with the jab and then launch the right hand. He could not afford to

:11:26. > :11:32.get too close. He has to concentrate on the quality. We need to see the

:11:33. > :11:40.head of Yoel Finol go back occasionally. That always impresses

:11:41. > :11:49.judges. He is too close. Muhammad Ali trying to get beyond range once

:11:50. > :11:54.more. Yoel Finol has got piercing punches going through the guard of

:11:55. > :11:58.Muhammad Ali. Some of the punches are speaking through. Muhammad Ali

:11:59. > :12:02.struggling to find the range repeatedly in this second round.

:12:03. > :12:08.Come on, referee, Yoel Finol is clearly holding. Muhammad Ali is

:12:09. > :12:19.stepping back and bringing his arms out because he cannot get away. Yoel

:12:20. > :12:26.Finol protruding beyond punching distance before landing a sticky

:12:27. > :12:36.left. It is clever boxing from Yoel Finol. That was a good long, left

:12:37. > :12:41.hook that catches the man in blue. He has closed that gap down,

:12:42. > :12:49.Muhammad Ali. Sensible and controlled aggression. Trying to

:12:50. > :12:53.work on the inside. The referee reminding the boxers to heed the

:12:54. > :12:55.instructions she is giving out. The Kyle Anderson quality in the closing

:12:56. > :13:09.ten seconds? -- you can land. A frustrating bone for the man in

:13:10. > :13:17.red. Struggling to land anything clean. -- round. The Venezuela

:13:18. > :13:23.supporters in the stands think they will be happier with the boxer in

:13:24. > :13:29.that session. Mo Ali walking onto a couple of shots. He has the measure

:13:30. > :13:32.that distance better. Coming forward, very castrated when he gets

:13:33. > :13:34.into close quarters, Yoel Finol is holding. That is a good shot from

:13:35. > :13:45.the man in blue. Two Mack Brown is completely and

:13:46. > :13:50.both scored unanimously in favour of Yoel Finol. Muhammad Ali has got a

:13:51. > :13:53.mountain to climb in this third and final round. Trailing by two points

:13:54. > :14:11.from all three judges. To begin this third and final round,

:14:12. > :14:15.you saw the Venezuelans indicating he is two Mack Brown is up so he is

:14:16. > :14:19.not under pressure to engage in this final round and he will take the

:14:20. > :14:24.strategy of protecting the lead he has built up on the scorecard.

:14:25. > :14:30.Muhammad Ali needs a 10-8 going to get into the realm of count back. He

:14:31. > :14:33.needs to check the judges out of the equation and force a stoppage but it

:14:34. > :14:38.is difficult to land a clean, knockout punch on the boxer that

:14:39. > :14:53.goes backwards. Yoel Finol is surprisingly holding his feet.

:14:54. > :15:08.Mo Ali continually going in pursuit of his man. Remember, frustrated,

:15:09. > :15:12.Muhammad Ali. I said it would be scrappy and it would need a strong

:15:13. > :15:22.referee. The referee is continuously warning Yoel Finol about holding.

:15:23. > :15:27.But doesn't do anything else. Having said that, that was a nice shot from

:15:28. > :15:29.Yoel Finol. Muhammad Ali cannot find the quality shots on the inside. It

:15:30. > :15:42.is a scrappy contest. How many times as she said that? It

:15:43. > :15:48.is untidy on inside again, Muhammad Ali trying to let his hands go. Good

:15:49. > :15:53.right hand but Finol landed one as well, which is why he raised his

:15:54. > :15:58.right glove. Make no mistake, there will be no quick in Muhammad Ali,

:15:59. > :16:02.you'll keep on coming and trying to finish but he's facing a skilful

:16:03. > :16:06.operator and good boxer in the form of Finol who's back on his toes and

:16:07. > :16:12.around the perimeter of the boxing ring. Given the time and space,

:16:13. > :16:16.Finol, he is decent on the back foot, protecting the lead and

:16:17. > :16:22.holding their, blindside of the referee, the referee cannot see

:16:23. > :16:26.that. 2014, giving you an idea of the talent he possesses, Livett

:16:27. > :16:32.bronze medallist, world youth silver medallist two years ago. Finol fires

:16:33. > :16:38.are a burst of punters many of them blocked but the 1-2 was effective.

:16:39. > :16:44.Back comes Muhammad Ali into the fray again. He must land the

:16:45. > :16:52.Knockout Punch. Good movement from Finol on the ropes. Side to side.

:16:53. > :16:58.Our leaders cannot find the power shots he needs. Referee against his

:16:59. > :17:08.keep your head up and the punches up. The conclusion of this 52

:17:09. > :17:12.kilograms flyweight contest, given the state of the scorecards going

:17:13. > :17:16.into the third and final round, one suspects this man is going through

:17:17. > :17:21.to the quarterfinal stage at the expense of Great Britain's Muhammad

:17:22. > :17:25.Ali. He gave it everything he had come he was on the front foot and

:17:26. > :17:30.was aggressive but could not find a quality work he needed in our very

:17:31. > :17:36.untidy encounter. Untidy contest indeed, gets caught coming in from

:17:37. > :17:42.Finol, good shots on the outside from the man in blue. Effort was

:17:43. > :17:48.there from Ali but could not find the quality on the inside, sometimes

:17:49. > :17:53.he got too close and was tied up too many times but the referee could

:17:54. > :18:06.have done a better job. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner or a unanimous

:18:07. > :18:13.decision... In the blue corner, Yoel Finol. Yoel Finol, the 12 ranks

:18:14. > :18:16.boxer in the world, the reigning continental champion of the

:18:17. > :18:21.Americas, goes through to the quarterfinal stage of the 52

:18:22. > :18:26.kilograms flyweight tournament to the delight of his compatriots and

:18:27. > :18:32.team-mates in the stand, he is one win away from a place on the medal

:18:33. > :18:35.podium in the 52 kilograms flyweight division. Muhammad Ali making his

:18:36. > :18:41.Olympic debut but it is the case of one and done for him. The unanimous

:18:42. > :18:45.points decision, losing all three completed rounds, 10-9 for all three

:18:46. > :18:48.judges, competed valiantly and give it everything he had but could not

:18:49. > :18:56.find a consistent quality here acquired to overturn Yoel Finol of

:18:57. > :19:00.Venezuela. He progresses and Muhammad Ali is out after his

:19:01. > :19:06.Olympic debut here in Rio 2016. He will be despondent, he had a long

:19:07. > :19:09.wake to ways to get his campaign underway but has come out on the

:19:10. > :19:15.wrong end of a points. Yoel Finol progresses. There are a out of four

:19:16. > :19:20.British fighters left in action in Rio 2016 and Richie Woodall cottage

:19:21. > :19:25.bang on, he said the fight would need a strong referee and we will

:19:26. > :19:30.need to know what he thinks about direct free. He is actually doing an

:19:31. > :19:34.interview in the next pen to us, so I don't know we want to stay and

:19:35. > :19:39.wait to have a chat with him or we want to leave here just now. From

:19:40. > :19:44.the point of view of this arena, it was packed yesterday, it was really

:19:45. > :19:47.rocking, maybe because it is a Monday morning it is disappointing

:19:48. > :19:51.that we are barely one third film but I suppose it has been systematic

:19:52. > :20:00.throughout a lot of venues in the games. Certainly as we get towards

:20:01. > :20:06.the finals, we have a couple of them, the men's heavyweight final is

:20:07. > :20:09.later, there will be more people hear what level a great atmosphere.

:20:10. > :20:14.While we wait for most speak to us, what did you think about how the

:20:15. > :20:18.referee handled the fight? Of trees at all, I said we needed a strong

:20:19. > :20:23.referee, you cannot keep having a referee give warnings to box of time

:20:24. > :20:27.and again without obviously taking one point off. After three or four

:20:28. > :20:30.cautions from the referee you expect the referee to take one point off

:20:31. > :20:36.and that did not happen but we needed a stronger referee and it

:20:37. > :20:40.wasn't to be. Shame for more Ali is not for Muhammad Ali, give it

:20:41. > :20:43.everything but not this time to stop hardliners, it was a difficult fight

:20:44. > :20:46.and when it came to the third round you had to give it everything? Yes,

:20:47. > :20:53.I thought I was up after the first one. Then I heard I was down and off

:20:54. > :21:02.the second I thought, no way. Just lost and I just, I'm gutted. All the

:21:03. > :21:06.hard work I've put in has gone to waste. It is heartbreaking. Can I

:21:07. > :21:09.asked you about the referee? Ridgewood commented and he felt the

:21:10. > :21:15.referee was very relaxed and could have done a lot more about his head,

:21:16. > :21:20.what do you think? I thought will she take points off him what? Just

:21:21. > :21:25.grabbing and grabbing at I could not get going because of that. I would

:21:26. > :21:30.use it as an excuse, I've lost and there's nothing I can do. I will not

:21:31. > :21:33.use it. You had issued a support base, a quick word for them? I'm

:21:34. > :21:38.just thankful my dad has been my biggest fan and has been everywhere

:21:39. > :21:45.and is down here. It is heartbreaking. You gave it

:21:46. > :21:51.everything you had. And lines. 94 speaking to us. Thank you. Goodness.

:21:52. > :21:58.Another day of emotions in the Olympic Games. Thank you. How

:21:59. > :22:02.unfortunate. Katie Taylor first and now Muhammad Ali, so much pressure

:22:03. > :22:06.on their shoulders in boxing, not least at that name but also trains

:22:07. > :22:10.out of the same Jim Amir Khan trained in when he won the summer

:22:11. > :22:15.medal in 2004 in Athens. He is only 20, so I'm sure he'll be back, so

:22:16. > :22:20.much talent. Maybe I'm lucky in that fight. So, bad news from the boxing

:22:21. > :22:25.arena. Let's pick things up and speak about the good times. Let's

:22:26. > :22:29.reflect again on what historic day it was yesterday, and it doesn't get

:22:30. > :22:34.much more historic than at the golf course yesterday. 112 years we

:22:35. > :22:37.waited for a golf tournament and was Great Britain Bosma Justin Rose who

:22:38. > :22:40.came out on top. So what and especially going into this book is

:22:41. > :22:44.because lots of big names are decided to miss out because of

:22:45. > :22:48.injury or the Zika virus, Justin Rose couldn't have taken his Olympic

:22:49. > :22:52.debut any more wholeheartedly. He enjoyed opening ceremony, being in

:22:53. > :22:57.the Olympic village coming even scored a hole in one on the very

:22:58. > :23:04.first day. And anyone Olympic gold. Not bad.

:23:05. > :23:10.The final day of the first golf tournament for 100 years became a

:23:11. > :23:17.jewel in the sun between Justin Rose and the open champion Henrik Stenson

:23:18. > :23:23.Sweden. One ahead overnight, road map to rows of liquid at the second

:23:24. > :23:29.but got it back at the third. -- rows relinquished. He is much closer

:23:30. > :23:33.than sense. A bogey at the seventh had them tied again but the 20 13th

:23:34. > :23:39.US Open champion hit straight back once again. So much better from

:23:40. > :23:43.Justin Rose. Immediate opportunity to pull back the shot he dropped at

:23:44. > :23:47.the last. In this nip and tuck battle it was dense and that turned

:23:48. > :23:53.up the heat and at the tenth, Birdie draw level again. That will still be

:23:54. > :23:59.a very good birdie for Henrik Stenson at the tenth. At 13, Rose

:24:00. > :24:04.Fanclub and fell off the lead by one. But the fall was only

:24:05. > :24:06.temporary. Stenson toppled by a bad back bogeyed the 14th and so to the

:24:07. > :24:16.next. Fantastic shot, right over the

:24:17. > :24:24.flagstick from Justin Rose, advantage Great Britain. At 16 it

:24:25. > :24:32.was Rose by one but the Swede wasn't about the beer -- to disappear. It

:24:33. > :24:36.is brilliant from Stenson. Elsewhere Matt Kuchar emerged from the pack to

:24:37. > :24:42.claim the bronze medal with a closing 63. Is that heading a little

:24:43. > :24:47.ride? Coming down good, coming back brilliantly. What a draw, you will

:24:48. > :24:51.go to 13 and with that. With the leader of the fight for gold reached

:24:52. > :24:53.the final but would it be the final chapter? All square, who would play

:24:54. > :25:08.the better third? That is spinning away from the hole,

:25:09. > :25:16.he wanted a better result. How close could he get? Justin Rose. It looks

:25:17. > :25:23.very good, it will check out next to the pen. Is that the shot that will

:25:24. > :25:33.grain to get Great Britain Olympic gold? The pressure was no all in

:25:34. > :25:37.Stenson and with Rose close in his birdie was a must. He missed it and

:25:38. > :25:44.the one on the way back as well, leaving Rose with two for the big

:25:45. > :25:52.old. -- big gold. The entirety of Great Britain is watching the little

:25:53. > :25:56.white ball. It is called. -- is a gold medal. Justin Rose of Great

:25:57. > :26:02.Britain takes Olympic gold in Rio de Janeiro after a titanic struggle.

:26:03. > :26:06.Olympic silver for Henrik Stenson. It feels better than any tournament

:26:07. > :26:12.I've ever won, this is so unique and different, the crowd were

:26:13. > :26:15.incredible. It is a cross between golf and a carnival atmosphere with

:26:16. > :26:20.people so patriotically that the union Jack flying. It was amazing

:26:21. > :26:23.and the entire week has been incredible representing Team GB in

:26:24. > :26:26.feeling like you're part of something bigger than your

:26:27. > :26:32.individual sport, it is incredible. Justin Rose is Olympic gold

:26:33. > :26:40.medallist for 2016. Four is the Olympic champion. -- Olympic

:26:41. > :26:45.champion. Some golfers said they would not watch the tournament, you

:26:46. > :26:50.tell Justin Rose that Olympic gold doesn't matter. Five golds won by

:26:51. > :26:55.Great Britain yesterday and crazy thing was they happened in the space

:26:56. > :26:58.of a couple of hours. We had Justin Rose at the golf, two for Max

:26:59. > :27:03.Whitlock at the red building over there, the Juan Nast doesn't -- the

:27:04. > :27:07.gymnastic arena and a pair of medals in the velodrome. Great Britain has

:27:08. > :27:12.two riders going in the men's sprint, a game of cat and mouse but

:27:13. > :27:20.in the end Jason Kenny in his most critically of form. -- predatory. An

:27:21. > :27:23.odd experience sharing a room with the person you're about to fight for

:27:24. > :27:29.gold medal, that must have been a strange night last night. Skinner

:27:30. > :27:35.starting to wind it up, Jason Kenny trying to force him on and get in

:27:36. > :27:39.two him to push the pace, that is a lot of room he's given himself.

:27:40. > :27:42.Calum Skinner in the black helmet, Jason Kenny the rider in the white

:27:43. > :27:49.helmet at the back as they take the bell. He has kept his height and he

:27:50. > :27:54.will rush him now. Here comes Jason Kenny down the back straight. Closes

:27:55. > :27:58.the gap, really rapidly. Comes over the shoulder of Callum skinner and

:27:59. > :28:01.totally dominates the first ride. Superb sprinting from the series to

:28:02. > :28:12.figure of Jason Kenny. Even though he is at the back

:28:13. > :28:15.skinner is just taking command by taking it to the top of the track

:28:16. > :28:21.and starting to move about. He is trying to unsettle Jason. Just

:28:22. > :28:25.trying to keep them guessing as to what he will do, he has all the

:28:26. > :28:33.height, which is why Jason is pulling away at some speed. Forcing

:28:34. > :28:38.down the track. Jason Kenny on the brink of a fifth Olympic gold medal

:28:39. > :28:45.here if he can win this race. Callum skinner will strain every sinew to

:28:46. > :28:49.draw level at 1-1. And set up a third and deciding race. One lap to

:28:50. > :28:54.go, the sprint is very much on foot of Jason Kenny at the front, Callum

:28:55. > :28:58.skinner digging deep, trying to claw his way back into the finish

:28:59. > :29:03.straight, Jason Kenny has got this. Jason Kenny wins the gold medal for

:29:04. > :29:08.the second time in his career, he is the Olympic sprint champion, it is a

:29:09. > :29:16.gold medal number five in the career of Jason Kenny. He joins us Bradley

:29:17. > :29:19.Wiggins and Sir Steve Redgrave on five, only Sir Chris Hoy is ahead of

:29:20. > :29:27.him now and Jason Kenny wins that final in straight rides. But it was

:29:28. > :29:31.a win-win for British cycling, gold and silver. Golfer Jason Kenny and a

:29:32. > :29:36.spectacular silver after a series of excellent performances from Callum

:29:37. > :29:41.skinner in his first Olympic Games. He has gold is now a silver. The

:29:42. > :29:45.journey has been incredible. To come away with a silver medal, I got

:29:46. > :29:50.beaten by the world champion and he had the legs and the tactics. It has

:29:51. > :29:55.been incredible. We focus on teams print and he was that well so to

:29:56. > :29:59.come away with this is a bonus. Five gold medals equalling so Steve

:30:00. > :30:05.Redgrave and Bradley Wiggins, you're just one of Sir Chris Hoy, who

:30:06. > :30:12.confidently predicted you will get the 61 this week. That is confident.

:30:13. > :30:16.I will give it to -- my best shot, a bit of recovery hopefully I will,

:30:17. > :30:22.fighting, both of us, in the keirin and get something out of it.

:30:23. > :30:31.Possibly the most unassuming five-time gold medal champion. Laura

:30:32. > :30:36.Trott has arrived in the arena and I am sure that the rivalry in that

:30:37. > :30:41.household is rife. The men's omnium is taking to the track and inside

:30:42. > :30:50.there, looking forward to things for us is Jill Douglas and two Chriss.

:30:51. > :30:55.We have seen so much British success. We have seen Mark Cavendish

:30:56. > :31:00.in action, Becky James, Katie Marchand and Laura Trott. Start with

:31:01. > :31:06.the splinters. Becky James and Katie Marchand. Good solid performances

:31:07. > :31:09.from both of them. More than solid. Amazing that the entire sprint team

:31:10. > :31:13.have not put a foot wrong, gone straight through. It has been

:31:14. > :31:19.incredible to see. Is it too early to talk about the same as the men?

:31:20. > :31:24.Both of them in the final. Becky James, talk about her performance.

:31:25. > :31:27.This is effectively the second round of the sprint competition and they

:31:28. > :31:33.come back tomorrow for the quarterfinals, semifinals and final.

:31:34. > :31:40.She has looked very confident. Under no pressure so far. Katie Marchand

:31:41. > :31:44.in her right, it is a sign that competitors are admitting they

:31:45. > :31:50.cannot beat them on a straight line. For the German to attack with 2.5

:31:51. > :31:54.laps to go that is a sign of saying, I cannot be true. Long day tomorrow

:31:55. > :32:01.with potentially nine rides to a medal. I think Becky and Katie will

:32:02. > :32:07.be hoping to make it through the quarterfinals cleanly with two

:32:08. > :32:13.Street and also the semifinal. Lead from Hong Kong looks to be a threat.

:32:14. > :32:16.If it goes towards seeding, I would be supplies not to see Katie and

:32:17. > :32:20.Becky in the final. Of all the medals and of all the events, that

:32:21. > :32:26.is the one we would predict the least. Let us look at the men's

:32:27. > :32:29.omnium. We will see the culmination of that today. Mark Cavendish set a

:32:30. > :32:33.fantastic time yesterday in the individual post it, what did you

:32:34. > :32:40.make of his performance today? Personal bests all round. Individual

:32:41. > :32:45.pursuit race seconds faster, 2.2 kilometres per hour better than in

:32:46. > :32:50.London. He has moved forward. You cannot ask more than that. Only the

:32:51. > :32:55.one mistake in the elimination race but that is what it is about, the

:32:56. > :32:58.army, who makes the least amount of mistakes. He was in great spirits as

:32:59. > :33:05.he came through after that. You knew it was a good time. He has been

:33:06. > :33:10.focusing on his weaknesses. His big strength as the bunch racing. The

:33:11. > :33:16.omnium is weighted towards that with the bunch race as the key event. He

:33:17. > :33:22.will be in the top three at least in the flying lap. His pains have been

:33:23. > :33:28.getting quicker and quicker. He will get 12.80 and he will be in the rate

:33:29. > :33:33.ballpark into the final event. Fascinating points race, the final

:33:34. > :33:37.event of that omnium, six events in that competition. Laura Trott, we

:33:38. > :33:42.saw her begin the defence of Olympic title in the omnium in the scratch

:33:43. > :33:45.race. Another great performance from her. Very confident to take it on

:33:46. > :33:49.from the front. She was third in the same event at the world champions --

:33:50. > :33:53.World Championship 's Angie is has moved forward. As good as she could

:33:54. > :33:58.have hoped for. The favourites for that event were painter. Sarah

:33:59. > :34:01.Hammer had the legs and looked strong but was cotton traffic and

:34:02. > :34:05.came such a long way round she could not get on terms. She was using her

:34:06. > :34:09.head and staying out of trouble. We saw the crash in the closing stages

:34:10. > :34:15.and that is why you have to be at the front. Jihadi likes to do that.

:34:16. > :34:16.Two lead-out at 2.5 laps, that is showing her rivals she has

:34:17. > :34:28.confidence and the form. ODE: Find you. Clear will be in the

:34:29. > :34:34.velodrome this evening. Mark Cavendish tries to add Olympic gold

:34:35. > :34:39.to his repertoire. He will be in the me from 8pm on BBC One. We will head

:34:40. > :34:45.to the central pavilion again and more boxing. Approaching the closing

:34:46. > :34:49.stages of the welterweight category. We had the semifinal this morning

:34:50. > :35:00.and one more this afternoon. I had some messages in the break will stop

:35:01. > :35:02.-- I will throw this at Richie Woodhall. I does amateur boxing

:35:03. > :35:08.publish the schools between the round? In the Muhammad Ali fate, it

:35:09. > :35:12.takes the element of jeopardy away from him. As a viewer, amateur

:35:13. > :35:16.boxing is try to broaden the interest level, as a viewer, you

:35:17. > :35:19.know that if one Federer has won the first two Mack Brown is, barring a

:35:20. > :35:28.knockout, that is it. -- one fighter.

:35:29. > :35:38.COMMENTATOR: Computer scoring has been removed since London 2012. The

:35:39. > :35:43.flip side of that is that the scoring system allows ring craft to

:35:44. > :35:47.be taken into consideration. The computer system only counts punches

:35:48. > :35:50.landed. If you are right about the boxer with good movement and begin

:35:51. > :35:56.your opponents miss, coming back with counters, what would you rather

:35:57. > :36:01.have? The ten point system is not perfect but it does take ring craft

:36:02. > :36:06.into account as well. The point being made was that for the

:36:07. > :36:10.millions, however many millions watching around the world, if after

:36:11. > :36:11.two Mack Brown is, you think this round is over, you switch over to

:36:12. > :36:22.the other side. If you want to keep that element of

:36:23. > :36:31.uncertainty, not knowing adds to that. COMMENTATOR: You are being

:36:32. > :36:46.drowned out. Describe this semifinal for us.

:36:47. > :36:54.We move up to the 69 kilograms welterweight division. This promises

:36:55. > :36:58.to be a good encounter. This band from Uzbekistan has proved to be one

:36:59. > :37:07.of the revelations of the tournament, an emerging star.

:37:08. > :37:10.Shakram Giyasov of Uzbekistan. He is going up against the best

:37:11. > :37:16.welterweight in the world. The number one seed, Mohammed Rabi from

:37:17. > :37:27.Morocco. Contrast in styles, who will prevail? In the red corner,

:37:28. > :37:39.representing Morocco... Mohammed Rabi. Introducing, the boxer in the

:37:40. > :37:47.blue corner, representing Uzbekistan Tour de France --... Shakram

:37:48. > :38:01.Giyasov. REFEREE: Listen to my comments.

:38:02. > :38:24.Watch your head. The low blows. Shake hands and good luck.

:38:25. > :38:31.COMMENTATOR: We are underway and the 69 kilograms welterweight division

:38:32. > :38:35.and this is a semifinal between Uzbekistan and Morocco. The man in

:38:36. > :38:40.red is from Morocco, 22 years of age, Mohammed Rabi. He is the

:38:41. > :38:44.tournament number one seed, ranked number two in the world and he is

:38:45. > :38:50.the reigning World Championship gold medallist. The man in blue has

:38:51. > :38:55.proved himself to be an emerging star in this tournament at this

:38:56. > :39:00.point. Shakram Giyasov, 23 years of age, a fast footed, quick fisted

:39:01. > :39:09.individual who possesses wonderful variety. Mohammed Rabi has down --

:39:10. > :39:14.has sunk to his knees. Punches have strayed beneath that white beltline

:39:15. > :39:17.and he is taking a count. If this is a low blow, expect the referee to

:39:18. > :39:22.walk over to Shakram Giyasov and issue a warning. Clearly below the

:39:23. > :39:34.belt. Let us see what the referee does. No warning, just a verbal

:39:35. > :39:40.talking to. It is a low blow. It has happened twice. Again, the referee

:39:41. > :39:45.is being extremely lenient. If it does happen again, I would expect

:39:46. > :39:49.one point to be deducted from the Uzbekistan boxer. The strange

:39:50. > :39:56.interlude. No subsequent warning came from the referee. That was most

:39:57. > :40:04.certainly a count but in Olympic boxing, a count does not necessarily

:40:05. > :40:13.end up in a 10-8 round on the scorecard. It is a strange opening

:40:14. > :40:19.round in this semifinal. Mohammed Rabi is patient but has passed

:40:20. > :40:27.hands. Plenty of power in his punches. Shakram Giyasov is on his

:40:28. > :40:32.toes on occasion. This is his fourth bout of the tournament, Shakram

:40:33. > :40:48.Giyasov, terrific display in his opening round. Then a wonderful when

:40:49. > :40:57.all the viewer paean champion. He was fortunate in the next bout. --

:40:58. > :41:03.European champion. He was fortunate to beat the fighter from Cuba. The

:41:04. > :41:08.Uzbekistan boxer has got skill. He is allowing Mohammed Rabi to work at

:41:09. > :41:13.his own pace. He will strike and then steps backwards to contain that

:41:14. > :41:18.gap. Every time, he will punch and score, then he moves back to

:41:19. > :41:27.maintain a gap. He is a clever boxer but he is strong at mid-range. Very

:41:28. > :41:31.strong indeed. Good left-hander Andy bell from Mohammed Rabi after he

:41:32. > :41:35.parried the attempt from Shakram Giyasov. Shakram Giyasov, it is his

:41:36. > :41:43.fourth bout in the tournament and is not boxing at the same speed and

:41:44. > :41:48.other encounters. Let us look, Shakram Giyasov landed a good left

:41:49. > :41:52.hook. Mohammed Rabi trying to maintain that gap between himself

:41:53. > :41:57.and the opponent. That is a sweeping left foot and another one. He has

:41:58. > :42:07.got some eye damage from Shakram Giyasov any previous contest. Plenty

:42:08. > :42:13.of supporters from Uzbekistan. He gets it across the board. Slightly

:42:14. > :42:17.surprised. I doubt that Mohammed Rabi had some clean shorts and

:42:18. > :42:23.deserved one of the scores. The reigning Olympic light flyweight

:42:24. > :42:27.champion, crowned the Olympic king of the 49 kilograms fighters

:42:28. > :42:32.yesterday. Another one of the changes from London. Previously all

:42:33. > :42:38.of the finals were contested on the final weekend. Back to this match,

:42:39. > :42:44.all boxers and this guaranteed a medal. They are fighting for a place

:42:45. > :42:50.in the gold-medal bout. The boxer in blue, Shakram Giyasov, has taken the

:42:51. > :42:52.opening round from all three judges. Despite the reigning champion,

:42:53. > :43:00.Mohammed Rabi, having some good punches of his own. Good right hand

:43:01. > :43:05.from Mohammed Rabi on the inside. Despite the flat-footed approaching

:43:06. > :43:09.brings to the ring, when he decides to attack, he strikes with snakelike

:43:10. > :43:13.quickness. The chins of these boxers will be tested. We know that

:43:14. > :43:18.Mohammed Rabi is a big puncher at mid-range. If that right-hand can

:43:19. > :43:26.extend Shakram Giyasov will have to be tested. But Shakram Giyasov is

:43:27. > :43:32.quite skilful. Does he have the power that Mohammed Rabi possesses?

:43:33. > :43:37.He has not had a bad opening minute in this round. We know that Mohammed

:43:38. > :43:47.Rabi is strong from short to mid-range. He is dangerous. Long

:43:48. > :43:57.left-hander Mohammed Rabi was not too far away. He has demonstrated we

:43:58. > :44:04.have not seen from him previously. He received a pass in the opening

:44:05. > :44:11.round. And then fought in the second preliminary round. He conceded the

:44:12. > :44:18.second round 2-1 on the scorecards. Has that eye injury reopened? It is

:44:19. > :44:29.a strange situation when the boxer talks to the referee... When he

:44:30. > :44:34.turns away and says, I felt pain in my head. That is what he's saying,

:44:35. > :44:38.it was head clash. Shakram Giyasov on the front foot and pinning his

:44:39. > :44:44.man on the ropes. He is keen to get back into the mix. Look at that

:44:45. > :44:47.injury sustained by Mohammed Rabi after emerging from that coming

:44:48. > :44:53.together. The doctors need to inspect it. Injuries have been a

:44:54. > :44:58.feature of this tournament. The head guards have been removed, the first

:44:59. > :45:02.Olympic tournament since Moscow in 1980 boxers have competed without

:45:03. > :45:05.head guards. That is the clash, the blood immediately leaking from the

:45:06. > :45:26.eye injury. The doctor happened to tend to the window.

:45:27. > :45:33.Mohamed Larbi having conceded the opening round unanimously as the

:45:34. > :45:36.adversity of an injury to his left eye to deal with after the clash of

:45:37. > :45:41.heads. Worth pointing out that the clash of heads, good right hand, if

:45:42. > :45:48.the clash of heads close the contest to be stop we will go to the

:45:49. > :45:55.scorecards. Good from Giyasov, Rabii responded with a good right from his

:45:56. > :46:01.own. Giyasov so unconventional in his method of attack. On his tiptoes

:46:02. > :46:06.at times. It is very scrappy. The blood is flowing down the side of

:46:07. > :46:13.the face again of Rabii. They will have their work cut out now. It was

:46:14. > :46:18.not a good round for Rabii at, I thought Giyasov beat him to the

:46:19. > :46:30.shots. Just doing a better quality work on the inside. There is the

:46:31. > :46:38.cut. Just attending to it. Rabii on the inside, there is a clash. They

:46:39. > :46:46.catch each other on the inside and the blood just pours down the side

:46:47. > :46:53.of the face. Rabii on the outside, on the ropes. Again across the

:46:54. > :46:55.board, I thought Giyasov had a better round there and he gets all

:46:56. > :47:20.the scores again. The third and final round. Man in

:47:21. > :47:28.red, reigning World Championship gold medallist, Mohammed Rabii it a

:47:29. > :47:34.10-8 range just to get back on terms. Conceded the opening two and

:47:35. > :47:40.has been cut in the second round and we said he possesses a spiteful

:47:41. > :47:52.punch but you must find a Knockout Punch. Or he will actually dominate

:47:53. > :47:58.the Uzbekistan boxer in blue. He hasn't been so effective in this

:47:59. > :48:01.contest, Rabii. He has been a bit inaccurate, he was a little bit

:48:02. > :48:07.phased in the first round, couple of low blow 's, certainly upset and

:48:08. > :48:15.unsettled as written, caught on the inside, not bad but rock singer

:48:16. > :48:18.clever contest -- but boxing. He sees to be meeting the opponent head

:48:19. > :48:24.on and occasionally holding. Incredibly game, Giyasov, even when

:48:25. > :48:30.he was fatigue in the third and final round in his quarterfinal

:48:31. > :48:35.against Ingley is yes to a still dug deep and five punches when he had

:48:36. > :48:40.nothing left. It will be a difficult task for Mohammed Rabii short of

:48:41. > :48:45.landing a finishing combination Knockout Punch. More than half the

:48:46. > :48:52.rise got it will be difficult to get back into it. -- the Rand gone. He

:48:53. > :48:58.has to find the knockout shot, Rabii. It will be very difficult. He

:48:59. > :49:02.has declined target the right hand, Giyasov is coming forward, left

:49:03. > :49:09.hand. He is a difficult man to nail with that punch. Rabii is tired,

:49:10. > :49:13.blood again coming down the face. He is tired and weary, his energy tank

:49:14. > :49:22.is running low. It will be increasingly difficult for him to

:49:23. > :49:25.find the knockout shot. The mind remains willing, good right hand,

:49:26. > :49:33.partially parried by the man in blue. The mind is willing for Rabii

:49:34. > :49:40.but the body doesn't have the energy for a knockout shot he needs. Moving

:49:41. > :49:46.back will take the force of the shot. Giyasov doesn't have to

:49:47. > :49:49.engage, the always is on Rabii come forward, trailing by two points on

:49:50. > :49:56.all three cards. Here's a counter right hands attempted but Giyasov, a

:49:57. > :50:01.frustrating individual to fight. There is the Ali shuffle. Finds a

:50:02. > :50:04.burst of energy during gauge in an exchange at the dismissed as the ten

:50:05. > :50:11.second clapper sounds and they disengage because he knows he is

:50:12. > :50:17.there to the gold-medal bout in 69 kilograms welterweight division, the

:50:18. > :50:20.Moroccan fans will be disappointed because the number one seed, and

:50:21. > :50:25.reigning World Championship gold medallist, he has been bested by and

:50:26. > :50:33.Uzbekistan boxer as 23-year-old Shakhram Giyasov continues to see

:50:34. > :50:37.his star rising the boxing world after an impressive victory over the

:50:38. > :50:45.reigning World Championship gold medallist. A gutsy display, not the

:50:46. > :50:51.tidiest contest but he dug deep and battled until the very end. Rabii

:50:52. > :50:54.perhaps unfortunate not to get a share of the opening round but in

:50:55. > :51:02.the second round Giyasov was clearly the better boxer. The reigning World

:51:03. > :51:07.Championship gold medallist limited at the semifinal stage. Let's get

:51:08. > :51:22.the official announcement. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by

:51:23. > :51:30.unanimous decision... In the blue corner, Shakhram Giyasov. A

:51:31. > :51:37.triumphant roar from Shakhram Giyasov, through to the gold-medal

:51:38. > :51:41.bout in the 69 kilograms welterweight division, he becomes

:51:42. > :51:44.the first boxer from Uzbekistan to make it through to contest Olympic

:51:45. > :51:51.Alderney welterweight division. One of the most glamorous divisions in

:51:52. > :51:56.Olympic boxing is being contested in every tournament since Lewis in 1904

:51:57. > :52:01.and that is how he did it. Taking all three rounds across the board at

:52:02. > :52:05.the expense of the reigning World Championship gold medallist,

:52:06. > :52:10.Mohammed Rabii, limited at the semifinal stage, Olympic bronze for

:52:11. > :52:13.him and that is a little but of history because he becomes the first

:52:14. > :52:22.man from his homeland to claim Olympic bronze in the 69 kilograms

:52:23. > :52:28.welterweight division. Ritchie has made his way down to our studio and

:52:29. > :52:32.is now with Johnny. I not inconsiderable cut the Moroccan, but

:52:33. > :52:42.he wishes the issue about head guards. Krgyzstan? I prefer head

:52:43. > :52:47.guards. There's been 11,000 contests from pretty dodgy until this point

:52:48. > :52:51.and the result of that was there was a 43% drop in concussions with

:52:52. > :52:55.boxers without head guards, so they have made the decision to take their

:52:56. > :53:00.guards. On the flip side, the cuts have increased no end in tournaments

:53:01. > :53:06.like this because you have to go through four or five Sundance six

:53:07. > :53:10.contests to win a gold medal, here probably five, to go through five

:53:11. > :53:16.contests without a cut you've either got be very good and very lucky

:53:17. > :53:20.because you're against opponents that are very determined, coming in

:53:21. > :53:24.with their head as well and get through those contests you have to

:53:25. > :53:30.be lucky in this game. Why head guards in the women's game? That is

:53:31. > :53:36.a mystery. Head guards have remained with the

:53:37. > :53:42.Women. I think you're more protected with the head Guy but apparently

:53:43. > :53:46.from the study there is less concussion, which is the ruling now.

:53:47. > :53:49.We'll let you go and join running the commentary box. Belcher to

:53:50. > :53:53.middleweight, you can see the fight is about end the ring behind me. One

:53:54. > :53:56.was speaking about the welterweight division but you might argue

:53:57. > :54:02.middleweight is almost more glamorous. Looking at the foreign

:54:03. > :54:06.names of Olympic champions, James DeGale from a British perspective in

:54:07. > :54:10.Beijing and Chris Finnegan in 1968 in Mexico and I looked at the couple

:54:11. > :54:18.of very famous names, Michael Spinks, Floyd Paterson, Olympic

:54:19. > :54:31.champion at this weight division. This is a quarterfinal, back to run.

:54:32. > :54:39.And what promises to be. Christian Mbilli of France taking on the Cuban

:54:40. > :54:44.number one. Introducing the boxer in the red corner representing Cuba.

:54:45. > :54:54.Arlen Lopez! Introducing the boxer in the blue

:54:55. > :55:29.corner, representing Round one. We are in the 75

:55:30. > :55:32.kilograms middleweight division in the quarterfinal stage of the

:55:33. > :55:36.tournament and this bag is being contested between France and Cuba.

:55:37. > :55:43.The boxer in blue on the front foot and trying to walk down his man is

:55:44. > :55:47.Christian Mbilli, 21 years old, part of a ten strong French boxing squad,

:55:48. > :55:50.eight men and two women, ranked number 56 in the world, it is his

:55:51. > :55:55.first Olympics. The man in red is the governor of 75 kilograms, ranked

:55:56. > :56:02.number one in the world, tournament is number one seed and the reigning

:56:03. > :56:06.gold medallist, Arlen Lopez of Cuba. I did switch hitter and devastating

:56:07. > :56:14.puncher and businesses second bout of Rio 2016. -- and this is.

:56:15. > :56:19.Christian Mbilli could be a victim of his own success because he has

:56:20. > :56:26.had to come through two or three really exciting contest, two to be

:56:27. > :56:30.contest is meant to be honest, on its front foot, forcing the pace and

:56:31. > :56:34.pressure and taking a lot as well as land punches, and that will take its

:56:35. > :56:38.toll in tournament like this. Against the world number one need to

:56:39. > :56:43.be 100% in terms of your fitness, so this will be a real test of the man

:56:44. > :56:51.in blue. He is a tough nut against a quality performer. Lopez picking

:56:52. > :56:55.punches. But Christian Mbilli wants to turn it into a form with war but

:56:56. > :56:58.he has to be careful not to walk onto a right uppercut or left

:56:59. > :57:04.uppercut because this man is a great switch hitter. He is incredibly

:57:05. > :57:08.physically strong and this is where he likes to rumble away at short and

:57:09. > :57:12.mid-range, look at the uppercut crashing through the middle from the

:57:13. > :57:19.reigning world champion and cracking right up from Lopez. We spoke about

:57:20. > :57:23.the difficult contest and it has to be our unanimous points decision

:57:24. > :57:25.winner in the first preliminary round and a really hard-fought

:57:26. > :57:31.encounter against the world number eight, Delgado of Ecuador in his

:57:32. > :57:36.second bout and he was so fatigued at the end of that he did not have

:57:37. > :57:41.the energy to celebrate. The referee physically lifted his arm up but he

:57:42. > :57:46.has recovered well and is boxing well, on the front foot with plenty

:57:47. > :57:47.of effective pressure, Lopez demonstrating patients and intend to

:57:48. > :57:57.fight off the ropes. Christian Mbilli is definitely

:57:58. > :58:05.boxing his type of contest and cracking his opponent in but Lopez

:58:06. > :58:09.is showing you why he is number one. Most of the shots he throws hit the

:58:10. > :58:14.target company is more accurate with his work. Eye-catching, but this

:58:15. > :58:18.Frenchman just keeps coming, at some stage Lopez might change his tactic

:58:19. > :58:27.and try to go long-range, but at this speed he keeps coming, the

:58:28. > :58:31.Frenchman. Repeated right uppercut success for Arlen Lopez, what will

:58:32. > :58:37.the judges prefer? Quality punching of the man in red or the incessant

:58:38. > :58:44.industry of Christian Mbilli at the conclusion of the first round?

:58:45. > :58:52.Success with the right uppercut for Lopez. Christian Mbilli would not be

:58:53. > :58:57.denied, he kept finding, feet square, lands a good right uppercut

:58:58. > :59:02.and left combination, the Frenchman. He is strong and tough and probably

:59:03. > :59:09.good tactics from the French, they said to their man, get up to him.

:59:10. > :59:20.Bulldozer him over type of thing, and it has been affected. --

:59:21. > :59:25.effective. All the judges prefer the quality punch picking the world

:59:26. > :59:33.number one. Into the second round, Christian Mbilli of France, the

:59:34. > :59:37.reigning European union championship world medallist from 2014 has

:59:38. > :59:40.considered opening-round across-the-board, running into

:59:41. > :59:47.repeated right uppercut despite having good burst of success around

:59:48. > :59:52.the body. Of Ireland Lopez -- of Arlen Lopez, but Lopez 's patient.

:59:53. > :59:56.He had a bye in the first preliminary round announced himself

:59:57. > :00:05.in exclusive fashion in his second round bout with a devastating

:00:06. > :00:08.first-round knockout, single-shot knockout of the reigning European

:00:09. > :00:13.games bronze medallist. Left-hand, not him into next week, did not even

:00:14. > :00:25.get one round under his belt. He is fresh.

:00:26. > :00:33.He gets a good uppercut. The first 45 seconds of this round, Lopez has

:00:34. > :00:38.increased the distance between himself and his opponent. He has

:00:39. > :00:45.more space and has corner has told him to do that. He is content to

:00:46. > :00:49.stand on the inside and box to his opponent's strengths but produce

:00:50. > :00:52.quality on the inside, the Cuban. There is more shots from the

:00:53. > :00:57.Frenchman and I am surprised with the scoring in the first round. I

:00:58. > :01:00.felt he could of got one of the scores. They appreciate the more

:01:01. > :01:07.quality plunging from the man in red. Mbilli is dangerous coming

:01:08. > :01:13.forward and is incredibly strong on the front foot, this man in blue.

:01:14. > :01:21.Still he comes forward, ever forward, Mbilli. Trying to walk down

:01:22. > :01:26.his man and find a home for his punches. He is in with the skilful

:01:27. > :01:32.operator. Cracking right again from Lopez. Again Mbilli firing punches

:01:33. > :01:37.from both flanks. The art of infighting, when you are on the

:01:38. > :01:41.inside, land quality shots and then create space and then go again. They

:01:42. > :01:47.could not stay on the inside for too long because you walk on two shots

:01:48. > :01:51.like that one. Although Mbilli is strong, businesses title fight, he

:01:52. > :01:56.tends to stand and trade for too long. He has an attitude, I am

:01:57. > :02:05.prepared to take one punch to land a couple. That is not berate way here.

:02:06. > :02:11.-- not the right way. It is slowing down, not surprising. The energy of

:02:12. > :02:18.this man... Good right hook round the corner from Mbilli. Lopez looks

:02:19. > :02:24.to be so, despite the hailstorm of punches coming in his directions. He

:02:25. > :02:29.has not panicked and has got his eyes on the prize. An all action

:02:30. > :02:52.brand of boxing in the 75 kilogram quarterfinal.

:02:53. > :03:03.We are looking at the contest in a nutshell. Mbilli putting his punches

:03:04. > :03:09.are in the side. That is the best punch of the road from Mbilli. The

:03:10. > :03:14.rate hook round the corner. Repeated right uppercut success for Lopez and

:03:15. > :03:17.he takes the second round across the board. Mbilli needs a massive road,

:03:18. > :03:19.he needs a finishing punch to dominate his man to get back on

:03:20. > :03:34.terms. -- massive round. Into the third and final round we

:03:35. > :03:37.go. Christian Mbilli from France, the reigning national champion is

:03:38. > :03:41.trailing by two but has came out energised to begin the third and

:03:42. > :03:46.final round. Landing good punches around the Beltline of the Cuban

:03:47. > :03:54.boxer. Good left hook to the body once again. Then turning it into an

:03:55. > :04:03.uppercut. Lopez is not somebody to panic and is very calm in the boxing

:04:04. > :04:07.ring. Frustrating for Mbilli, he is boxing his fight but the better work

:04:08. > :04:12.is coming from the Cuban, landing better shots. Mbilli keeps coming

:04:13. > :04:16.and throwing plenty of punches. The volume of punches are coming from

:04:17. > :04:21.the man in blue and the better quality shots coming from the man in

:04:22. > :04:25.red. He is sending out a message to every other middleweight in the

:04:26. > :04:31.division, I can stand and trade on the inside as well as box at

:04:32. > :04:35.distance. A place on the Olympic medal podium is the prize for the

:04:36. > :04:42.victor in this bout. It is the quarterfinal stage and that is why

:04:43. > :04:46.Mbilli is competing so doggedly. Refusing to take a backward step. A

:04:47. > :04:55.couple of good right hands, snapping the head back of Lopez. The movement

:04:56. > :05:06.is elaborated by an elaborate hairstyle. In the first time in the

:05:07. > :05:09.contest, Mbilli is forced back. Nice change of angle by the man in blue

:05:10. > :05:13.as he gets back onto the front foot again. He is slowing down and he

:05:14. > :05:18.keeps letting his hands punch. Terrific condition and desire being

:05:19. > :05:24.exhibited by Christian Mbilli. It makes you wonder whether those two

:05:25. > :05:28.difficult contests he had earlier in the tournament, if he had been

:05:29. > :05:33.fresher in this one, because he is managing to boxes style in the

:05:34. > :05:40.fight, he is Kevin Lopez all sorts of problems. Lopez is very calm on

:05:41. > :05:44.the inside. He is got a good guard and the counterattacks now and

:05:45. > :05:53.again. He is effective on the inside, Mbilli. This will be a

:05:54. > :06:00.victory for the man in red unless Mbilli can find a finishing shot.

:06:01. > :06:06.Even though it has been such a vertical encounter, Lopez will know

:06:07. > :06:09.he has been any contest. The semifinal is scheduled for three

:06:10. > :06:17.these times of it have time to recover. Lopez finally gets distance

:06:18. > :06:24.between himself and his man. Mbilli has been in his chest, shadowing him

:06:25. > :06:30.for the entire three manners. That was a crowd-pleasing exchange in the

:06:31. > :06:33.final seconds. That was a brilliant contest in the 75 kilograms

:06:34. > :06:37.middleweight division. There can be little doubt that the world number

:06:38. > :06:41.one, Arlen Lopez of Cuba will be going through to the middle stages

:06:42. > :06:47.in the middleweight division. This man deserves credit. He did

:06:48. > :06:53.absolutely everything in pursuit of what would've been an upset victory

:06:54. > :06:59.over Arlen Lopez. He seldom took a backward step and imposed his style

:07:00. > :07:05.of boxing on the contest. Ultimately, the superior quality of

:07:06. > :07:09.punches being favoured by the judges and he trailed by two points at the

:07:10. > :07:13.conclusion of round two. He could not find the finishing shot he

:07:14. > :07:18.needed and he could well have taken the third and final round across the

:07:19. > :07:22.board but it will not be enough to overturn a two ponder disadvantage

:07:23. > :07:31.that the taste after round numbered two. A terrific advert. Lopez

:07:32. > :07:51.demonstrated his punch power in the opening contest. The winner by

:07:52. > :07:59.unanimous decision... In the red corner, Arlen Lopez. Arlen Lopez

:08:00. > :08:04.from Cuba, the number one seed and the number one ranked boxer and the

:08:05. > :08:08.world, a unanimous points decision victory over Christian Mbilli of

:08:09. > :08:20.France, the reigning EU European medallist. The Cuban goes through to

:08:21. > :08:25.the medal bouts, guaranteed at least a bronze medal but he wants nothing

:08:26. > :08:28.less than Olympic gold to go with the World Championship gold he won

:08:29. > :08:35.in Joe Hart last year. He took the final round, Mbilli.

:08:36. > :08:39.Let us head down to the studio position once again and here more

:08:40. > :08:49.from John and Richie Woodhall. People find themselves engrossed in

:08:50. > :08:54.a sport they do not know too much about an amateur boxing is a classic

:08:55. > :08:57.example. We had a fight well the commentary, you said the French

:08:58. > :09:02.boxer was for a more punches but the Cuban boxer was throwing better.

:09:03. > :09:05.That is why he was the better. What does that mean? The better quality

:09:06. > :09:11.punches from my point of view and from the Cuban, he was hitting the

:09:12. > :09:16.target more often although he was not going as many punches. The

:09:17. > :09:21.French boxer, very strong, he had volume but less accuracy. The

:09:22. > :09:24.punches were heading here and here, fitting the gloves. The Cuban had a

:09:25. > :09:32.high guard and brought his chin down. The Cuban was waiting for an

:09:33. > :09:36.opportunity where he could see. He was heading the solar plexus and

:09:37. > :09:40.under the ribs. There was less punches from the Cuban. But better

:09:41. > :09:46.quality punches hitting the target and that is why they scored for the

:09:47. > :09:52.Cuban. He is world number one. That boxer from Cuba can box Longreach,

:09:53. > :09:56.on the edge of the jab, short distance with power punches. He

:09:57. > :09:59.demonstrated, which will fight in middleweight, he can box on the

:10:00. > :10:04.inside and that is why he's a great all-rounder and world number one.

:10:05. > :10:08.There are three judges who are positioned at different places. By

:10:09. > :10:11.the nature of the sport, things happen on the blindside, do they

:10:12. > :10:17.have monitors to look back at things? They do not have monitors.

:10:18. > :10:21.It is a natural reaction to what is going on in front of them. The

:10:22. > :10:26.judges are not always the same. There is a pool of judges that are

:10:27. > :10:32.picked at random for every contest. Some judges, from my observations,

:10:33. > :10:36.have preferred boxers on the back foot, others prefer boxers going

:10:37. > :10:40.forward. What we try to tell GB boxers in Sheffield, you have to be

:10:41. > :10:44.able to do both, box from your back foot and make their miss and score

:10:45. > :10:47.and occasionally push him back. If you have a judge that appreciates

:10:48. > :10:53.front foot pressure, you have to be able to please him. You never know

:10:54. > :10:57.what you'll get. What we get now is the thing about any morning session

:10:58. > :11:10.although it is lunchtime. It is Kazakhstan against Azerbaijan.

:11:11. > :12:01.COMMENTATOR: Let us get the introductions.

:12:02. > :12:06.COMMENTATOR: We're in the 75 kilograms middleweight division at

:12:07. > :12:10.the quarterfinal stage. The winner going through to the semifinal where

:12:11. > :12:14.the world number one Arlen Lopez awaits. This will be a cracking

:12:15. > :12:22.contest from boxers from Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. The man in red is

:12:23. > :12:27.from Kazakhstan. That is the brilliant Zhanibek Alimkhanuly, 23

:12:28. > :12:33.years old, the fifth seed in the tournament. He is skilful. He likes

:12:34. > :12:36.to box at his own pace and can raise that pace. If you give this man

:12:37. > :12:42.space then his punch baking is accurate. He has got fast hands and

:12:43. > :12:48.Rafa De Vita. He can close the distance to land his own friends and

:12:49. > :12:53.then retreat before the counter is put out by the opponent. The man in

:12:54. > :12:59.blue is Kamran Shakhsuvarly, 23 years of age and competing in his

:13:00. > :13:06.first Olympic Games. He is part of an 11 strong Azerbaijan boxing team.

:13:07. > :13:14.Canas exam, another team with the full complement of ten men boxing

:13:15. > :13:21.and two women in the squad. -- Kazakhstan.

:13:22. > :13:28.Kamran Shakhsuvarly is patient, he takes a look at his opponent in the

:13:29. > :13:35.opening round. Despite being the number five seed, he got of the

:13:36. > :13:53.beneficiary of a pass in the opening bout.

:13:54. > :14:01.She eliminated the boxer from age of Whitby comfortable game -- the boxer

:14:02. > :14:02.from Egypt with a comfortable fight and he looked to have more gears

:14:03. > :14:13.than he went into. Kamran Shakhsuvarly demonstrated a

:14:14. > :14:18.brilliant right hand in his opening victory over the boxer from China.

:14:19. > :14:23.Many 2-1 split decision victory over the number four seed, the European

:14:24. > :14:29.Championship gold medallist and world champion bronze medallist from

:14:30. > :14:36.Russia. That gives you an idea of his quality. He is a skilful

:14:37. > :14:40.operator. Forceful right hand. It is difficult to punch the man in ready

:14:41. > :14:47.cleanly. It'll be interesting to see how he reacts FTA is -- if he is

:14:48. > :14:52.ever punched cleanly. His speed at his first line of defence. -- his

:14:53. > :15:07.peak is his. A bit of a reconnaissance mission in

:15:08. > :15:10.that opening round for both boxers. It is the ten point system in

:15:11. > :15:17.effect. By the judges seated around the ring. Randomly by computer,

:15:18. > :15:23.before the opening bell, three of them are selected randomly. The

:15:24. > :15:29.judges change. It is almost a shift pattern so the same judges are not

:15:30. > :15:33.sitting to stop and not watching an entire session of boxing. Three of

:15:34. > :15:38.them are randomly selected before the opening bell. The scores are

:15:39. > :15:43.used to determine each round and the contest if it goes the distance.

:15:44. > :15:49.10-9 in favour of Kamran Shakhsuvarly. Zhanibek Alimkhanuly

:15:50. > :15:49.not getting a shield from any judge and can consider himself

:15:50. > :16:07.unfortunate. The man in red, 2013 World

:16:08. > :16:14.Championship gold medallist, conceded the opening round for all

:16:15. > :16:18.three judges against the 23-year-old as a -- from Azerbaijan. What

:16:19. > :16:27.responsible that bring back from the man in red?

:16:28. > :16:48.Shakhsuvarly Is a power puncher. You have to concentrate on boxing mid

:16:49. > :16:51.and long range. Standing in short range he's then in the firing line

:16:52. > :16:58.of his opponent, boxing to his opponent. He is whipping the shots

:16:59. > :17:02.in. Alimkhanuly should be increasing the distance to better effect by

:17:03. > :17:06.standing there is a shoot out and the man in blue is probably more

:17:07. > :17:12.favoured for that work. Probably better design for it and by standing

:17:13. > :17:18.flat-footed Alimkhanuly isn't making use of one of his principal assets,

:17:19. > :17:21.Speedo foot, good double uppercut from the left and right hand and a

:17:22. > :17:25.good right hand through the middle from Shakhsuvarly but by standing

:17:26. > :17:30.flat-footed, Shakhsuvarly been brought right into this contest. The

:17:31. > :17:34.opening-round conceded by the man in red, perhaps trying to take the

:17:35. > :17:37.initiative and take it to his man for the good left-hander the body,

:17:38. > :17:42.left uppercut was partially repelled. A change in tactics from

:17:43. > :17:46.Alimkhanuly, you seen him through the tournament, lovely move, when

:17:47. > :17:53.he's on his bid is difficult to get to. Making the mistake of missing

:17:54. > :17:56.the target and the referee again is being lenient, another low shot,

:17:57. > :18:03.third one and there should be one points deducted. I think the

:18:04. > :18:07.referee, the gesture where he waved it sideways and said no more, if he

:18:08. > :18:13.does stray below the white visible beltline again it could be a point

:18:14. > :18:18.of the total. It is interesting that Shakhsuvarly is looking to hold onto

:18:19. > :18:24.is he feeling the pace at this physical middleweight encounter? He

:18:25. > :18:31.is a tall middleweight, Alimkhanuly. What an atmosphere here in pavilion

:18:32. > :18:37.six. It has been everyday, the fans making their presence felt. Again,

:18:38. > :18:42.that was borderline from Shakhsuvarly, the right hands

:18:43. > :18:46.downstairs. Alimkhanuly still coming forward. Conceding the height of

:18:47. > :18:51.reach in the man in red but getting through with shots. Shakhsuvarly

:18:52. > :18:58.from my vantage point appears to be a fighter who is fading. How much

:18:59. > :19:03.can he reenergise in the interval coming. Another blow on the

:19:04. > :19:08.borderline from Shakhsuvarly, which we will the go? If it goes in favour

:19:09. > :19:13.of Shakhsuvarly is man in blue and I think we will see a disengage

:19:14. > :19:16.through round number three and it will leave Alimkhanuly needing a

:19:17. > :19:20.knockout. This score will be crucial. I thought the man invested

:19:21. > :19:29.the better work in this round. On the front foot. That is a nice shot

:19:30. > :19:33.from Shakhsuvarly. Different angle. Alimkhanuly landed some great shots,

:19:34. > :19:44.lovely long right upper, here come the scores. 2-1, Judge Beagles for

:19:45. > :19:49.Alimkhanuly. Thaisa one each. -- it is tied at one each bid for judges

:19:50. > :19:52.ANC the man in blue as the two point margin of advantage, Alimkhanuly

:19:53. > :20:09.needs a massive round. Into the third and final round.

:20:10. > :20:14.Alimkhanuly, a man who is a real threat for Olympic gold, trailing in

:20:15. > :20:20.this contest by two points and that is why he's on the foot immediately.

:20:21. > :20:25.Look at Shakhsuvarly, immediately holding on. He will hold on at every

:20:26. > :20:28.opportunity, trying to get some space between himself, keep away

:20:29. > :20:34.from his opponent but Alimkhanuly is coming on strong. And the punches

:20:35. > :20:38.seemed to be affecting Shakhsuvarly, he put a lot into the opening-round

:20:39. > :20:43.and a half, touched down on the campus and that is fatigue as much

:20:44. > :20:48.as anything else. Referee says that is a toss, clear sign of a failing

:20:49. > :20:53.fighter when they can no longer retain their stance. Agudo right jab

:20:54. > :20:58.from Alimkhanuly. Coming forward again. -- a good full stop trying to

:20:59. > :21:05.keep the Mamat be, he is tying up his man again. He should toss him

:21:06. > :21:08.off and try and get back to distance and then his hands go. Good right

:21:09. > :21:14.uppercut from Shakhsuvarly. That straight to the back of the head.

:21:15. > :21:17.And would do him any good. Alimkhanuly has defined more room

:21:18. > :21:23.and space, he has to take a backward step but what Shakhsuvarly is doing

:21:24. > :21:30.is often little three or four punch combo he is holding on. Alimkhanuly

:21:31. > :21:37.then has to take a step back and maintain a gap. Interesting because

:21:38. > :21:41.increasingly every shot Alimkhanuly lands, the boxer in blue is being

:21:42. > :21:44.increasingly affected by them, dipping at the knees and losing his

:21:45. > :21:53.stance and I think he is running rapidly out of energy. Alimkhanuly

:21:54. > :21:58.has just over one minute to find a finishing salvation. At this pace it

:21:59. > :22:03.will not be a 10-8 around. Look how ragged the man in blue has become,

:22:04. > :22:06.completely running out of gas. Holding at every opportunity, the

:22:07. > :22:11.shots updating in his boots, putting forth a good poker face, trying to

:22:12. > :22:16.con Alimkhanuly he isn't tired but the former gold medallist was surely

:22:17. > :22:21.sends the man in front of him is depleting in terms of energy rapidly

:22:22. > :22:26.foot up he can barely stand. Again, the referee split them up, but does

:22:27. > :22:33.not caution the man in blue from holding on. That is where he has to

:22:34. > :22:37.step back, he just needs to be a little bit more accurate with his

:22:38. > :22:42.work, Alimkhanuly and step back rather than forwards and just being

:22:43. > :22:49.grabbed on inside. Every time it happens. In many ways you have to

:22:50. > :22:53.give credit to Shakhsuvarly because despite being very weary indeed, he

:22:54. > :22:58.has found a way to remain on his feet in these final three minutes.

:22:59. > :23:02.It hasn't been pretty but he pushed up straight punches to try and keep

:23:03. > :23:07.Alimkhanuly at bay and given the status of the contest going into the

:23:08. > :23:12.third and final round, judges ANC, they thought the man in blue had a

:23:13. > :23:16.2-point advantage, it will be Alimkhanuly sustaining an injury

:23:17. > :23:21.around his year. We hear the years were unanimous we automatically know

:23:22. > :23:28.he will be in favour of the man in blue. This will be a straight

:23:29. > :23:31.session. Because it should be across-the-board, 10-9 round for

:23:32. > :23:35.Alimkhanuly in this ride and I'm surprised if he's not taken Oliver

:23:36. > :23:40.scores in that last round and in that case it will go one Judge will

:23:41. > :23:46.go for him and two will go against, this will be a split decision for

:23:47. > :23:51.Shakhsuvarly I think, but very lucky man from Azerbaijan.

:23:52. > :24:11.Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by split decision... In the blue corner

:24:12. > :24:18.Shakhsuvarly. Shakhsuvarly hangs on and get over the finish line with a

:24:19. > :24:19.split decision victory over the incredibly talented former World

:24:20. > :24:24.Championship gold medallist, Alimkhanuly. The tournament 's

:24:25. > :24:31.number five seed and number four ranked boxer in the world, limited

:24:32. > :24:34.at the quarterfinal stage and a man on his knees giving thanks in the

:24:35. > :24:40.Olympic boxing ring. Shakhsuvarly goes through to the middle stages,

:24:41. > :24:46.guaranteed at least Olympic bronze now. He will now face the world

:24:47. > :24:53.number one, R Len Lopez, in that semifinal.

:24:54. > :24:59.An excellent morning session here and we're back for hours at about

:25:00. > :25:06.9pm for the evening session which culminates at 11:15pm your time with

:25:07. > :25:08.the crowning of the Olympic heavyweight champion. When you look

:25:09. > :25:13.back at the history books especially for the 60s you see that title was

:25:14. > :25:16.won by Joe Frazier and George Foreman and I wonder if in 50 years

:25:17. > :25:24.we will speak about the winner here tonight? It sounds mouthwatering.

:25:25. > :25:28.Thank you. They are getting into the business end of the boxing. As they

:25:29. > :25:33.are in the badminton, a couple of pavilions down. If you are watching

:25:34. > :25:36.with us on BBC Four, the Lassie Marcus Ellis and James language

:25:37. > :25:42.naked through to the semifinals of the men's doubles at the Olympics

:25:43. > :25:46.for the very first time. They pulled off the match of their lives against

:25:47. > :25:55.the Japanese pair, did not win by 2-1, the one in an outright 2-0.

:25:56. > :25:58.That is the winning moment, it was emotional for Marcus Ellis, banging

:25:59. > :26:02.the ground. The match of their lives, getting into the semifinals,

:26:03. > :26:07.further than they could possibly have even imagined in their dreams.

:26:08. > :26:12.It meant Chris and Marcus made it into the last four where they will

:26:13. > :26:19.take on the Chinese pair of food and shy tomorrow at about lunch time

:26:20. > :26:22.your time. Earlier and the other managed -- the other Chinese pair

:26:23. > :26:26.also made it into the last four, China well set to do with the did in

:26:27. > :26:32.2012 and win all five badminton gold medals. We will see the last team to

:26:33. > :26:39.make it through into the last four. This was a clash between Malaysia

:26:40. > :26:41.and Korea. Let's see how they got on. Number one seeds of Korea hoping

:26:42. > :26:54.to get into the last four. COMMENTATOR:

:26:55. > :27:04.The umpire calls for the start of this deciding game. It is the

:27:05. > :27:05.Koreans nearest to us. The Koreans are the number one seeds in the

:27:06. > :27:31.men's doubles. The Malaysian is won their group.

:27:32. > :27:42.Number four seeds from China, we knew they were in good form. This is

:27:43. > :27:44.a big pressure. From the Koreans. Because they've been expected to

:27:45. > :28:56.deliver here at the Rio Olympics. Just snatched at that. Shem Goh, a

:28:57. > :29:34.real opportunity for the Malaysians. They are trying the block after the

:29:35. > :30:38.power play. It worked well for them earlier in the match.

:30:39. > :31:26.Why are they trying to defend, the Malaysians?

:31:27. > :32:22.The shuttlecock hit the top of the tape and just trickled over.

:32:23. > :32:58.When they get themselves on the attack on the Malaysians are

:32:59. > :32:59.devastating. Even the brilliant defence of the Koreans cannot cope

:33:00. > :33:16.with them. The last five points from the

:33:17. > :33:57.Malaysians to get back level. Fantastic. That is exactly what I

:33:58. > :34:02.was alluding to earlier, the defensive play drive to the

:34:03. > :34:03.shuttlecock back. It was an earlier shot that changed the entire

:34:04. > :34:48.momentum. It was called out. And I think that

:34:49. > :34:50.is definitely worth a challenge. They have been right on their two

:34:51. > :35:14.previous challenges, the Malaysians. It sounds to me like the Koreans are

:35:15. > :36:12.desperately nervous. That was struck above the waist. It

:36:13. > :36:19.is the third time that he has been faulted. It can do funny things to a

:36:20. > :36:29.player. Such a fleeting opportunity. This is ridiculous. They have to

:36:30. > :36:36.have this explained. There is a signal given by the service judge.

:36:37. > :37:09.It clearly indicates the reason of the infringement.

:37:10. > :37:14.What an interception. The Malaysian fans celebrate. That was incredibly

:37:15. > :37:59.good from this man, Tan. He intercepted at the right time

:38:00. > :38:09.once again did Tan. But it was spoiled by an error by his partner.

:38:10. > :39:15.He has been faulted at the back times on his serve for striking the

:39:16. > :39:19.shuttlecock above his waist. He may be trying to take the hip spot a

:39:20. > :39:21.little bit law and it is not his normal service action so he has made

:39:22. > :39:55.the error. That is good from this man.

:39:56. > :40:22.Crouching down. Intersecting the push and following it well.

:40:23. > :40:37.Would you believe it? Service error. No doubting the tension on the

:40:38. > :41:05.court. That was a big gap and they both

:41:06. > :41:09.went forward to the net. The Malaysians have the advantage,

:41:10. > :41:16.albeit just one point at the change of ends. What was Yoo doing it going

:41:17. > :41:19.forward? His partner was already at the net. The Malaysians will be

:41:20. > :42:23.happy with that. The entire body language of the

:42:24. > :42:29.Malaysians is losing confidence. -- is showing confidence. The Koreans

:42:30. > :42:40.looked to be a bit twitchy for me. The Malaysians are celebrating every

:42:41. > :43:18.point the win. What was that I was saying about the

:43:19. > :43:20.Koreans looking nervous? There was an error on the return of serve. It

:43:21. > :43:58.was proving my point. Superb. They are on fire. Waiting

:43:59. > :44:07.for the defence, put it across court.

:44:08. > :45:07.Four point advantage. The top seeds from Korea in big trouble.

:45:08. > :45:14.Nothing he could do about that. The shuttlecock hit the top of the tape

:45:15. > :45:41.and just went over. Both of the relations are playing

:45:42. > :45:46.well, that is a beautiful return of serve. Let's calm down, he says to

:45:47. > :46:06.his partner. Point by point. He has ribs in a funny place if that

:46:07. > :46:43.is both groups. -- below the ribs. This is the last thing the Malaysian

:46:44. > :46:44.'s need, little argument about who is delaying things, they were on a

:46:45. > :46:57.roll. This is crucial. They need a good

:46:58. > :47:12.serve. He looked nervous. And that service

:47:13. > :47:53.error is proof of it. Desperation defence, the Malaysian

:47:54. > :47:58.'s break it down. Goh just telling his fans he has the power. He

:47:59. > :48:30.certainly has. Desperate times call for desperate

:48:31. > :48:33.measures. Korea needs to British something special right now. --

:48:34. > :48:50.produce. Again they failed to do so. Again, Goh getting involved in

:48:51. > :48:56.arguments with the umpire about his opponents. It bothers me when he

:48:57. > :49:00.does that because I've seen him in the past completely loses

:49:01. > :49:04.concentration when they are just three points away from the Olympic

:49:05. > :49:42.semifinal, they just need to keep focused.

:49:43. > :49:54.He has done that return of serve again. Just guiding the shuffle down

:49:55. > :49:57.-- shuttle down. Why did he served exactly the same place as he played

:49:58. > :50:08.the previous one from exactly like that? Why not so further out wide?

:50:09. > :50:12.But not to wear his racket is. What an opportunity for them. Two points

:50:13. > :50:50.away from the semifinal. All of the nerves. Hold the nerves

:50:51. > :51:30.is what he says to his partner. I don't believe it. Match point

:51:31. > :51:38.opportunities. Making the difference at the front of the court. Four

:51:39. > :51:46.match point opportunities to be precise.

:51:47. > :51:52.Use this -- is this to be yet another upset in the badminton

:51:53. > :52:05.competition. Two match point have gone begging,

:52:06. > :53:17.but another two remain. the third match point is saved by

:53:18. > :53:23.the Koreans. This is extraordinary. Clever placement of the smash, he

:53:24. > :53:28.has committed to the forehand defence and injuries left shoulder,

:53:29. > :53:36.therefore gets in a tangle with his defence.

:53:37. > :54:01.Just testing the new racket. He broke the strings in the last rally.

:54:02. > :54:26.Three match point saved. One more for the Malaysian team.

:54:27. > :54:44.They have done it. Tan goes to celebrate with team-mates. He and

:54:45. > :54:55.Goh have put out the favourites, the number one seeds, Lee and Yoo, what

:54:56. > :55:03.a thrilling match. One hour and 28 minutes. The final rally. On their

:55:04. > :55:17.fourth match point opportunity. I think they are happy to make it to

:55:18. > :55:23.the semifinals, beating the Koreans number one seeds. In they go and

:55:24. > :55:26.they will take on China, as will take Dott Great Britain, Marcus

:55:27. > :55:29.Ellis and Chris Langridge will also be in the last format, it will be

:55:30. > :55:33.lunch time your time if you want to see of Great Britain can I and to

:55:34. > :55:40.have your rate for a badminton Olympic medals. It has been so hot!

:55:41. > :55:48.Look at this! Fans taking some shade. We are on the telly live back

:55:49. > :55:52.in the UK, wave. The line goes far back, it has been really hot, we've

:55:53. > :55:57.had ice creams, people have been any which way, even this chap walking

:55:58. > :56:02.through is pretty hot. We are just trying to trace a break. If it was

:56:03. > :56:08.me I would, and sit next to you but I have a link to do, I'll come back

:56:09. > :56:12.in a minute you're looking good. Let's speak to these fans, who came

:56:13. > :56:18.up to us earlier. Can I squeeze in next to you? I know when we spoke

:56:19. > :56:27.earlier you said how excited you were to meet which presenter? Clare

:56:28. > :56:35.Balding. You're killing me, guys. She isn't here yet, I have pretty

:56:36. > :56:40.happy about meeting... Yes. He recognised you straightaway. Said it

:56:41. > :56:47.was a real gusto. What are your names? William. George. Karen. And

:56:48. > :56:50.usually with the Bridges Consulate, what have you been enjoying? We've

:56:51. > :56:54.just come from the athletics this morning where we saw Sophie win a

:56:55. > :56:59.bronze medal in the hammer, which was fantastic and the new Olympic

:57:00. > :57:04.record and world record from the Polish woman. We saw Usain Bolt last

:57:05. > :57:11.night in the 100 metres. How was that? Good. Fantastic and resolve of

:57:12. > :57:17.Farah. You've got around more than we have! We are getting a ticket

:57:18. > :57:21.with new for the next games. And a lot of rowing. That sounds

:57:22. > :57:26.fantastic, some incredible success. We could have had more British

:57:27. > :57:31.success at the dilute oral because -- at the Deodoro because we're now

:57:32. > :57:36.at the dressage stage after a silver medal earlier in the team event,

:57:37. > :57:41.another federalist presenter, Lee McKenzie. Yes. One of the best. --

:57:42. > :57:47.another female Billy fabulous presenter.

:57:48. > :57:53.It's been a great day of competition, not only is it

:57:54. > :57:58.scorching, we had some really hot test as well. Before it Dujardin

:57:59. > :58:02.went in the German rider... In fact, let's have a word with Charlotte, we

:58:03. > :58:07.need to hide this because we don't want to give the game -- game away

:58:08. > :58:12.on BBC Four but she is smiling. You were emotional earlier, how are the

:58:13. > :58:18.emotions? They are still there. But I feel so proud and honoured and

:58:19. > :58:23.living my dream, it is incredible. We might have given the game away

:58:24. > :58:30.slightly. Why don't you tell everyone to watch your test with

:58:31. > :58:38.Valegro. Watch my test with Valegro. Because I have this! Surrey. --

:58:39. > :58:42.sorry. Can they repeated their London triumph? Charlotte Dujardin,

:58:43. > :59:05.the greater Valegro. Remind you that this is another top

:59:06. > :59:13.composition, especially designed for Rio. He really has endeavoured to

:59:14. > :59:21.put the carnival spirit into this music of Charlotte's freestyle test.

:59:22. > :59:22.Here is the real tests, we are on. Extended structure that can often

:59:23. > :02:46.get tens. -- extended trot. Extended on the centre line,

:02:47. > :02:58.straight into the pirouette, giving everything to the judges.

:02:59. > :03:03.They have been unbeaten in their last 17 outings, are they going to

:03:04. > :03:50.make it 18 outings? It is a brand-new floor plan,

:03:51. > :03:59.remember, prepared for this competition, prepared to try and

:04:00. > :04:04.retain that Olympic title. Coming towards the end, and at the moment

:04:05. > :04:25.pretty incident free, dare I say! You are braver than me, I wasn't

:04:26. > :04:30.going to make any prediction or comments like that this time. Again,

:04:31. > :05:02.that incredible extended trot. He looks magnificent in those

:05:03. > :05:10.pirouettes. APPLAUSE

:05:11. > :05:15.Oh! 14 years old now, Valegro, they have been the stars of the sport

:05:16. > :05:22.worldwide now since London 2012. Are they going to stay there? We have

:05:23. > :05:28.had some wonderful retained medals here, of course, at these Games,

:05:29. > :05:31.whether it is athletics or other titles, but this would be pretty

:05:32. > :05:35.unique if Charlotte has done an hour. She's certainly put a big

:05:36. > :05:43.challenge down to retain it, no doubt about that whatsoever! Look at

:05:44. > :05:57.some of those movements again, remember, a massive 87.142% to beat,

:05:58. > :06:01.that of Desperados. And she has done it, she has done 90% plus on several

:06:02. > :06:13.occasions, she has got the world record. Is it enough? Yeah, that

:06:14. > :06:20.world record, 94.13, I am not sure we are going to get that, 94.3, to

:06:21. > :06:25.be exact. But 90 would really put the cat amongst the pigeons for the

:06:26. > :06:31.two remaining German riders to come, I think. Is it that good? Well, it

:06:32. > :06:36.was incident free, it was consistent, he looked magnificent

:06:37. > :06:45.out there, Valegro and Charlotte gave of their best. Oh! And

:06:46. > :06:53.Charlotte's expression at the end, she looked very happy. Their

:06:54. > :06:59.preparation was down in Gloucestershire, about a month

:07:00. > :07:05.before this date with destiny, a great evening, and it certainly

:07:06. > :07:13.worked to the liking of Carla Testa, Charlotte's mentor. -- Carl Hester.

:07:14. > :07:18.Now hold your breath, hold your breath, we are not far away from

:07:19. > :07:27.knowing where we are. One thing is for certain, away they go, away from

:07:28. > :07:34.the stewards, they are all clear with their bit check et cetera.

:07:35. > :07:42.Still we wait for those marks. Oh! Oh! We have seen it, you are going

:07:43. > :07:54.to see it in a moment, 93.928, oh! Now they have got to go, can they

:07:55. > :08:02.ever take that away?! What an incredible score, just 0.5%

:08:03. > :08:08.away from her own world record, 90% for technical, 97% for artistic, she

:08:09. > :08:10.really took it to the German riders, Isabel Bird and Kristina

:08:11. > :08:17.Broring-Sprehe. Charlotte understandably delighted, she did

:08:18. > :08:21.gave tonight give the game away, but I spoke to her, we had a lovely,

:08:22. > :08:28.considered chat, and here are her thoughts. I know you are emotional,

:08:29. > :08:33.can you sum up what this means to you? Yeah, I am actually a little

:08:34. > :08:40.bit speechless for once in my life, but it means the absolute world to

:08:41. > :08:43.me, to come out and finish off, the individual gold medallist again,

:08:44. > :08:49.trying to repeat what I had in London. In London I had no

:08:50. > :08:54.expectation, no pressure, but today I felt a good deal of pressure and

:08:55. > :09:00.expectation, and it could be one of the last rides on the allegro, there

:09:01. > :09:06.is talk of retirement for him, so for me to finish in that way, a

:09:07. > :09:09.really emotional time, and I am so happy, and I just want to thank

:09:10. > :09:14.everybody behind the scenes that has made this possible, everybody at

:09:15. > :09:19.home, friends and family, you know. I wish my mum and dad were here, but

:09:20. > :09:24.they are back at home supporting me. I want to thank everybody, I have

:09:25. > :09:29.had so many messages. Before you go and collect another gold medal, tell

:09:30. > :09:33.us about the bond you how, you say this may be his last competition,

:09:34. > :09:36.more for people at home that do not know about Resurge, rather than

:09:37. > :09:46.picking up a tennis racket or a set of golf clubs, this is about a

:09:47. > :09:51.living, breathing animal. I have been riding him since he was five,

:09:52. > :09:55.he is now 14, he has won everything there is to win, and I want people

:09:56. > :09:59.to remember him as the most amazing horse that he is. I don't want to

:10:00. > :10:04.keep going until there is nothing left, and I could be greedy, but I

:10:05. > :10:08.don't want to be greedy. He still loves his job, and for me, you know,

:10:09. > :10:16.I just want everybody to remember him at the top. Charlotte, you must

:10:17. > :10:19.go and get your medal, thank you so much, congratulations.

:10:20. > :10:29.After that, I spoke to Carl Hester, who part owns allegro, and he says

:10:30. > :10:36.it is not choice whether the horse continues or not. Let's see

:10:37. > :10:42.Charlotte get her medal. We had never won an Olympic medal in

:10:43. > :10:47.dressage until 2012, when we won two, one this year, and Charlotte

:10:48. > :11:00.Dujardin with the great Valegro has done it. Her skills are just unreal.

:11:01. > :11:07.She is such a horse person, and that partnership with Valegro, there has

:11:08. > :11:12.got to be a book there summer. Wherever you are, let's stand up and

:11:13. > :11:20.salute Olympic gold for Charlotte Dujardin, Valegro, Great Britain.

:11:21. > :11:59.God Save The God Save The Well, now you can really pull those

:12:00. > :12:03.corks out, get it out of the fridge, it is champagne time for Britain's

:12:04. > :12:08.gold medallist in the individual dressage, Charlotte Dujardin and

:12:09. > :12:14.Valegro have done it, they have got gold.

:12:15. > :12:17.A hugely emotional Charlotte Dujardin, I watched the medal

:12:18. > :12:23.ceremony along with Carl Hester, and he was pointing at the big screen,

:12:24. > :12:27.saying, my goodness, she is crying. You know, she loves this horse, but

:12:28. > :12:31.she doesn't show a whole lot of emotion, apart from when she is on

:12:32. > :12:35.the horse, and you could see how important the bond is. I am sure a

:12:36. > :12:39.lot of people will be hoping we see them at Olympia later in the FA

:12:40. > :12:46.decide to retire the horse. But what she has achieved is phenomenal, the

:12:47. > :12:51.only rider that got into the 90%, she was in the 93%. It has been a

:12:52. > :12:55.fabulous day here Deodoro. It really has, I think we will allow

:12:56. > :13:02.her that little bit of emotion on the podium, adding another gold,

:13:03. > :13:05.let's have a check on the medal table, because Great Britain are

:13:06. > :13:13.solidifying their place at there just behind the United States.

:13:14. > :13:23.Sophie Hitchon won a historic bronze medal in the hammer, a new record

:13:24. > :13:30.British distance. Great Britain up to 40 medals, 16 of them gold. And I

:13:31. > :13:35.know for sure that they are not done yet, they could win another medal in

:13:36. > :13:41.the women's hockey. Already bronze medallist from 2012, GB are the form

:13:42. > :13:45.team in Rio, having won five out of five in a group, sailing through

:13:46. > :13:47.into the quarterfinals, they will take on Spain this evening at ten

:13:48. > :13:59.o'clock your time here on BBC Four. The winner of the match between

:14:00. > :14:04.Great Britain and Spain will play the winner of New Zealand against

:14:05. > :14:10.Australia. There is a clip on the BBC Sport website featuring the New

:14:11. > :14:13.Zealand men's team, who were leading against USA, before three goals in

:14:14. > :14:20.four minute sent them out of the competition. Could the women do any

:14:21. > :14:27.better against Australia? Here is what happened.

:14:28. > :14:32.COMMENTATOR: Let's see what New Zealand can do, there is a shot

:14:33. > :14:42.right into the top corner from Annita McVeigh run! What a fantastic

:14:43. > :14:51.strike from the penalty corner! -- Anita McLaren. A little dummy, very

:14:52. > :14:55.nicely worked, and into the back of the net, Smith has got the

:14:56. > :14:59.deflection, Kelsey Smith. New Zealand are 2-0 up with less than

:15:00. > :15:06.seven minutes to go in the first half. So it is going to be played

:15:07. > :15:11.in, once again, Georgina Morgan is lurking, Kenny is there too. It is

:15:12. > :15:17.Morgan, she turns it back inside, there is the open goal! Slattery

:15:18. > :15:20.could not miss that one, and Australia are back in the match, New

:15:21. > :15:39.Zealand 2, Australia 1. Back to Michelsen again. Drill

:15:40. > :15:41.sit-in, and New Zealand are three - one up! Looks like it was Gemma

:15:42. > :16:16.Flynn. And it is deflected in! It is

:16:17. > :16:22.another goal. Charlotte Harrison with the initial effort. Two minutes

:16:23. > :16:56.to go in the third quarter. So, New Zealand go through to the

:16:57. > :17:00.semifinals at the expense of their local rivals Australia. They will

:17:01. > :17:07.play the winner of Great Britain against Spain. What about USA

:17:08. > :17:11.against Germany? Well, let's look at what happened in the first quarter

:17:12. > :17:16.of that match. The USA had been the surprise package in this

:17:17. > :17:20.competition. They also beat Australia in their group. But they

:17:21. > :17:33.were taking on Germany, who are very tough outfit. They took the early

:17:34. > :17:37.lead. Then Germany went two up with the second goal just on the cusp of

:17:38. > :17:43.the final whistle of the first quarter. And it meant the USA would

:17:44. > :17:48.go into the second quarter 2-0 down. As it was, there were no goals for

:17:49. > :17:55.the rest of the first half, so we join it in the third quarter, about

:17:56. > :18:20.halfway through, with USA trailing Germany 2-0.

:18:21. > :18:37.That is exquisite. That is just amazing skill. After that magic, she

:18:38. > :19:07.off-loaded with a poor shot. 21 years of age, Anna Schroeder.

:19:08. > :19:16.Germany stand strong. We have not seen much from Katie Bamiyan the

:19:17. > :19:42.match so far. Five goals in the tournament, so far -- Katie Bam.

:19:43. > :20:18.Katie Bam has shown us how exciting these skills are.

:20:19. > :20:40.Two minutes to go in this third quarter. The USA need to get

:20:41. > :20:52.something back as quickly as possible.

:20:53. > :21:15.Is this the chance that you -- USA have been searching for? Just as we

:21:16. > :21:23.say the USA need an opportunity to get back into the match, they have a

:21:24. > :21:35.penalty corner. That looked like a tired tackle. Here comes the shot.

:21:36. > :21:55.It is a dummy. And it's deflected out wide. So the chance for USA.

:21:56. > :23:04.Kathleen Sharkey tried the shot. The USA are still in possession.

:23:05. > :23:21.Vitesse is making the run down the left. Firm blocking from Germany.

:23:22. > :23:38.She had almost overrun it. 15 minutes left. Whatever Craig said at

:23:39. > :23:42.half-time hasn't quite had the desired effect yet. They have other

:23:43. > :23:55.penalty corner. The Germany are still looking dangerous. This is the

:23:56. > :24:04.final 15 minutes that will decide who will be through to the

:24:05. > :24:13.semifinals of the Olympic Games. The umpires blow the whistle. 15 minutes

:24:14. > :24:18.to go in this Olympic quarterfinal. At the moment, Germany have one foot

:24:19. > :24:20.in the semis. Germany still have their video referral remaining. The

:24:21. > :24:31.USA have lost theirs. Lauren Crandall had such a strong game from

:24:32. > :25:21.the back. Have we had a card in this game? No,

:25:22. > :25:26.I don't think we have. No, it has been very physical, but no cards. I

:25:27. > :25:30.think the umpires have blown their whistles very strongly from the

:25:31. > :25:35.opening whistle. The players knew where they stood. The USA have their

:25:36. > :26:06.duty with the video referral and lost it.

:26:07. > :26:32.Katie Bam. Top scorer for the USA, but no sniff of a goal today. A foul

:26:33. > :26:37.against Stapenhorst. The contrasting styles in the hard and fast running

:26:38. > :26:47.game of the USA and the skilful game of Germany. Is this the first card?

:26:48. > :26:55.You were asking for it. That was Stapenhorst who has got the green.

:26:56. > :27:03.Or is it both? I think it is one each. And Gonzalez. Stapenhorst for

:27:04. > :27:13.Germany, Gonzalez for USA. So both teams are down to ten for the time

:27:14. > :27:16.being. In the game of modern hockey, is it going to be the skill and the

:27:17. > :27:20.dribbling and the passing structure of Germany to outbid a hard and fast

:27:21. > :27:37.running team like USA? That is not to say the USA are not

:27:38. > :27:46.skilful, but player on player, what we have seen from Germany today...

:27:47. > :28:15.You can see the frustration from the USA bench.

:28:16. > :28:35.Good work from Schroeder. Schroeder again to finish it off...

:28:36. > :28:48.Asking for a high ball. Referral from Germany for the high and

:28:49. > :28:57.dangerous ball. This is Germany's video referral. It was Schroder who

:28:58. > :29:11.was in there. This is the one that is under close examination. He is

:29:12. > :29:24.not the video umpire. But he got it right. Penalty corner given. So

:29:25. > :29:37.Germany now have an opportunity to make it three.

:29:38. > :30:08.You have Lorenz looking over at, and Altenburg. Altenburg leaves it.

:30:09. > :30:11.Another penalty corner to the disagreement. They have got no

:30:12. > :30:29.chance. They have lost their referral. She is saying it was a

:30:30. > :30:39.clean stop with her stick. Here we go again. This time it is Lorenz.

:30:40. > :30:48.Saved. The whistle goes, and USA get the ball back. Ten minutes to go.

:30:49. > :31:01.The left hand of Briggs comes across and bad sits down. -- bats it down.

:31:02. > :31:06.Look how many players USA are piling forwards, putting pressure on Funes,

:31:07. > :31:07.but as has been the story of the day, the Germans still coming out

:31:08. > :31:27.with it. -- Muller-Wieland. Altenburg plays it out to Schroeder,

:31:28. > :31:36.who draws the tackle and keeps going. Then swings it out to the

:31:37. > :31:47.right, just a little bit over hit for Stapenhorst. Germany did not

:31:48. > :31:57.make it out of the court finals stage in London. -- quarterfinals.

:31:58. > :32:11.Can they find themselves through to the semifinals in Rio?

:32:12. > :32:20.Muller down the line for Altenburg, who tries to take it inside, came

:32:21. > :32:38.off the foot. Now here is Hauke, back to Muller. Oh, pewter. From

:32:39. > :32:43.Lorenz. -- oh, beautiful stuff. A 19-year-old with the confidence to

:32:44. > :32:46.produce that kind of one-on-one skill, just phenomenal, she is going

:32:47. > :32:51.to be around the international scene for a long time. Germany again,

:32:52. > :33:00.trying to get down towards the line with Altenburg, USA do well to keep

:33:01. > :33:08.it in play. USA gets the decision in the end. Played out to the right,

:33:09. > :33:15.picked up by Reinprecht, who is still going. She had the experience

:33:16. > :33:24.to know what to do, gets it into Bam, in the D, but she loses out to

:33:25. > :33:33.Muller-Wieland. And again, into the centre, the shot comes in, penalty

:33:34. > :33:40.corner, straightforward really, that decision, she has the shot. It was a

:33:41. > :33:44.brutal finish, and that is what was required to ensure they got

:33:45. > :34:00.something out of this, USA. They are going for a referral on that.

:34:01. > :34:10.Let's have a look at it. So the claim is that it hit Bam's foot

:34:11. > :34:22.before the penalty corner was given. So the Americans are saying you

:34:23. > :34:36.cannot review that. It was a foot outside the circle,

:34:37. > :34:44.restart with a free hit to Germany. Thank you. Well it is giving here,

:34:45. > :34:50.but I do not think this is the end of the discussion. The video

:34:51. > :35:02.referral is to get you more accurate than before. That is the right

:35:03. > :35:07.decision. It certainly is. Seven minutes and 40 seconds left, the USA

:35:08. > :35:20.thought they had a lifeline, but it is taken away. There is plenty of

:35:21. > :35:30.time. Kolojejchick losing out. Teschke. All the way back to Lorenz.

:35:31. > :35:32.Spread out to the right, flicked up in the air, Reinprecht managed to

:35:33. > :35:52.bring it down. Knocked down the line, really

:35:53. > :35:56.important diving block from Lorenz, it just takes the pressure off for

:35:57. > :36:04.half a moment, into Gonzalez. How Germany going to get out of this

:36:05. > :36:15.one? Very nicely. It went over the baseline off Gonzalez last. So

:36:16. > :36:25.Germany and the German fans, there is the Star Spangled Banner clan,

:36:26. > :36:30.still offering encouragement. Look in that midfield, just not a pass

:36:31. > :36:33.forward, it was the structure of the German defence stopping any

:36:34. > :36:38.opportunity, so it has to be a lone dribbler. Reinprecht plated down the

:36:39. > :36:49.line, but it is well read by Teschke, who keeps going. It came

:36:50. > :36:50.off the knee. You can see the look on Teschke's face, the desire to get

:36:51. > :37:07.there first. Nicky Bam trying to get her stake in

:37:08. > :37:13.there, manages it any end, the USA driving in, it comes off foot,

:37:14. > :37:17.doesn't it? It goes wide, not a chance in the end for the USA, it

:37:18. > :37:22.just looked as though it was flicking off the American player's

:37:23. > :37:32.foot as she tried to jump out of the way. Is is Sharkey? Yeah. They are

:37:33. > :37:49.getting ahead of the ball, Gary, they should go back closer to be the

:37:50. > :37:52.white dotters. Less than five minutes remaining for the USA, two

:37:53. > :38:03.goals down against Germany in this Olympic quarterfinal. Schroder,

:38:04. > :38:06.knocked down the line, Stapenhorst using her body to turn, but she did

:38:07. > :38:14.not manage to control the ball at the same time.

:38:15. > :38:24.Bam picks herself up to her feet as Vittese just keeps possession. She

:38:25. > :38:30.ran a great line, Vittese, she made sure that Teschke had no opportunity

:38:31. > :38:40.to get the ball. Reinprecht drills it, off the foot of Kruger.

:38:41. > :38:47.This is a chance for the USA, and it is in the back of the net! And it

:38:48. > :38:51.seemed to come off the German player, it will be claimed, because

:38:52. > :38:56.it was inside the circle, but it looks as though it does come off

:38:57. > :39:09.Schroder. The pass was for the USA player. USA 1, Germany 2. Here is

:39:10. > :39:14.the past. In off Schroder. A timely, timely goal for USA. Not a moment

:39:15. > :39:23.too soon as far as the Americans are concerned, but you have to feel for

:39:24. > :39:37.Schroder. They do not have own goals in hockey. So it was Katelyn

:39:38. > :39:41.Falgowski who drove the shot in, she has been given a goal, and now here

:39:42. > :39:49.come the USA again, getting into the D. The whistle-blowers as

:39:50. > :39:57.Kolojejchick tries to drive in. -- whistle blows. Dawson, now there is

:39:58. > :40:03.belief for the USA, Dawson drives it in low. And it goes against the

:40:04. > :40:15.Americans, and Germany get possession back. Well, what a time

:40:16. > :40:19.to get a goal. We are in for quite a final three minutes. Adding another

:40:20. > :40:25.bit of spice to this very juicy quarterfinal, because it has been

:40:26. > :40:29.very intriguing. Here is Bam, she has got some space, she goes for

:40:30. > :40:41.goal at! The decision goes Germany's way. Just as she was pulling the

:40:42. > :40:44.trigger, she is flawed. Some of the USA players are furious that she

:40:45. > :40:58.used the back stake and the tackle came in. And she had so much forward

:40:59. > :41:06.momentum. Here is a look at it again. This is the Bam foray, the

:41:07. > :41:20.stake is down, it looks as though it was playing the ball. -- stake. --

:41:21. > :41:22.stick. I hope this is not a knee injury. Not what the Americans need

:41:23. > :41:44.when they are looking for a goal. Lauren Crandall talking to her

:41:45. > :41:50.players and needing calm words and belief, two minutes 45 left on the

:41:51. > :41:56.clock. It does look like it is a left knee. Yeah. They will be hoping

:41:57. > :42:04.it is just an impact injury, rather than a muscle. A chance for both

:42:05. > :42:10.sides to regroup now. A chance for America to have a conversation with

:42:11. > :42:16.the coach. With the medical personnel at there, one thing is for

:42:17. > :42:20.sure, she will come off. I cannot see how she can continue after

:42:21. > :42:30.taking that kind of hit. She gets up to her feet now. There she goes.

:42:31. > :42:34.Well, she has added so much to this Olympic campaign, not just because

:42:35. > :42:40.she has been a key score for USA, budgie has excited the new fans that

:42:41. > :42:46.have come to watch hockey. -- but she has. She has landed on the right

:42:47. > :42:50.knee. It was a good tackle. The only question I would have, she came from

:42:51. > :42:54.behind and stretched the stick around, but she didn't make contact

:42:55. > :43:01.with the player, the stick made contact with the ball. And they get

:43:02. > :43:05.the free hit, Germany. Bam has made her way off as the sun goes behind a

:43:06. > :43:12.little bit of cloud, and it cools down a tiny fraction. With two

:43:13. > :43:16.minutes and 45 seconds to go, Katie Bam is off the pitch, Germany are

:43:17. > :43:22.still leading by one goal, and Reinprecht has given it away. Here

:43:23. > :43:23.comes Teschke, space in the centre for Oldhafer, she did not quite

:43:24. > :43:44.manage to get it in. Mavers. Off the league of Hauke, and it is a

:43:45. > :43:48.yellow card, I think, for Hauke. It was fair enough, she did hit the

:43:49. > :43:51.ball away, and we have not seen too much in discipline from the German

:43:52. > :44:02.side in the last few minutes. That could be costly. Reinprecht, inside

:44:03. > :44:08.Kolojejchick, Kolojejchick again. She leaves it for Katie Reinprecht,

:44:09. > :44:18.knocks it inside. Attempted turn from Falgowski. The German player

:44:19. > :44:21.almost getting the ball clear, but they will have possession now as the

:44:22. > :44:27.whistle goes. One of the reasons they are so strong, Germany, they

:44:28. > :44:30.play a lot of indoor hockey, and they are very good with the ball on

:44:31. > :44:38.the ground, because they really believed in the indoor hockey game.

:44:39. > :44:51.Here is Crandall, but the decision is given to Germany. Here comes

:44:52. > :44:56.Lorenz, just a minute and 18 seconds left, intercepted by Reinprecht, it

:44:57. > :45:02.only comes as far as Mavers. Out to Oldhafer, saved! Germany had the

:45:03. > :45:10.chance to wrap it up, now the USA needs to get forward. Off the feet

:45:11. > :45:18.of Teschke. Katie Reinprecht plays it inside to Falgowski, now they get

:45:19. > :45:24.it out to the wing, look at Dawson powering forward, this is Vittese,

:45:25. > :45:29.stumbling further down. USA take it quickly, Dawson into Vittese, lovely

:45:30. > :45:37.turn, into the D. Trapped by Gonzales. 30 seconds on the clock. I

:45:38. > :45:44.thought you was going to do it, Michelle Vittese.

:45:45. > :46:04.There is the decision against the USA.

:46:05. > :46:10.Germany start to celebrate, because there is the final whistle! And the

:46:11. > :46:20.Germans are into the Olympic semifinals. No words for Craig

:46:21. > :46:23.Parnham. Takes off his headset. His competition and the USA's

:46:24. > :46:29.competition is over. The Germans took a 2-goal lead in the first

:46:30. > :46:33.quarter. A late goal from the USA brought some nerves in, but that was

:46:34. > :46:37.a very convincing performance from Germany. It was, and it just shows

:46:38. > :46:42.you that you cannot take anything from what has happened previously.

:46:43. > :46:46.Germany came third in their pool. The USA where the excitement machine

:46:47. > :46:49.at the Olympics, and today Germany, from the opening whistle, played

:46:50. > :46:55.their game, their structure. They have skilful front runners who used

:46:56. > :47:00.all their teamwork. Then it was cut up time for the USA and they

:47:01. > :47:05.couldn't get near that goal. So the Germans are now into the Olympic

:47:06. > :47:10.semifinal. And it is time for the USA to go home. The Germans will

:47:11. > :47:21.either play the Netherlands or Argentina. Well, the celebrations

:47:22. > :47:30.begin now for Germany. But they have still got to focus on looking

:47:31. > :47:39.forward. For the USA, better than four years ago. Much better. I think

:47:40. > :47:44.they were not allowed to get their game on the pitch. From the opening

:47:45. > :47:51.whistle, we mentioned about the skill level and belief coming from

:47:52. > :48:00.this young German side. When they did get forward, it was the little

:48:01. > :48:06.left to right, the tot he the stick. It was almost as though the American

:48:07. > :48:10.team were over aroused on the pitch, and it didn't help their cause.

:48:11. > :48:15.So Germany are into the semifinals. They will play either the

:48:16. > :48:19.Netherlands or Argentina. New Zealand have gone through as well

:48:20. > :48:23.and they will play either Spain or Great Britain. You can see that much

:48:24. > :48:28.this evening at ten o'clock, right here on BBC Four. With news of a

:48:29. > :48:31.medal in the athletics to bring you, let's see exactly where it came

:48:32. > :48:38.from. It was Sophie Hitchon of Great Britain in the hammer, throwing a

:48:39. > :48:41.lifetime best and the national record to take the bronze medal

:48:42. > :48:46.behind the Polish medal and ahead of China in bronze. They came in the

:48:47. > :48:50.last throw of the competition, another Butel added to the British

:48:51. > :48:56.tally and a very happy Sophie Hitchon indeed. -- another medal.

:48:57. > :49:02.Now, it is usually this time of the day that I hand over to Dan Walker.

:49:03. > :49:06.I'm afraid you've got me for a little while. But I can bring you

:49:07. > :49:10.great British medallists. If you don't mind turning over there, we

:49:11. > :49:17.have Louis Smith talking live to radio 5 Live, or just finishing over

:49:18. > :49:22.there. He won a pommel silver. And if you tilt here, coming off the

:49:23. > :49:28.regional television, south Essex's Max Whitlock, two-time Olympic gold

:49:29. > :49:33.medallist. He has got his golden wear out, which could be dangerous,

:49:34. > :49:36.because there are vultures here. Fans, AKA vultures, trying to get

:49:37. > :49:42.hold of anything they see that is shining. We will have more

:49:43. > :49:53.gymnastics coming up on BBC Four. No Dan, but plenty else coming up.

:49:54. > :50:02.After the drama of the men's floor and pommel finals yesterday, it is

:50:03. > :50:05.the turn of the vaulters shortly. The beach volleyball is hotting up.

:50:06. > :50:13.The Brazilian favourites are in action later.

:50:14. > :50:18.Then in hockey, Great Britain's women are in action. They are

:50:19. > :50:22.undefeated so far, five out of five. In the quarterfinals, they will take

:50:23. > :50:28.on Spain. And in the badminton, Great

:50:29. > :50:31.Britain's doubled to have a list and language are through to the

:50:32. > :50:39.semifinals. Can Rajiv Ouseph reach the quarterfinals tonight?

:50:40. > :51:03.So here is how your evening of day ten is looking.

:51:04. > :51:09.We must remind you of a couple of huge races taking place at the

:51:10. > :51:14.Olympic Stadium this evening. At 2.25, it is the men's 800 metres

:51:15. > :51:18.final. Can David Rudisha defend the gold medal he won in a record time

:51:19. > :51:27.at 2012? And after that, the women's 400 metre final. So loads coming up.

:51:28. > :51:32.But we are going to leave those two gymnasts over there. They have got

:51:33. > :51:36.some responsibilities and if we spin around, we can see where they made

:51:37. > :51:40.history last night. It was in that red and white number over the, the

:51:41. > :51:45.Olympic Arena. Max and Louis Smith took another couple of medals for

:51:46. > :51:49.Great Britain. And this evening, we could see even more action. Let's

:51:50. > :51:57.head in there and talk to Matt Baker, with Beth Tweddle also in

:51:58. > :52:03.position. Guys, we can see some vaulting specialities, can't we?

:52:04. > :52:15.Dan, you are there as well. Yes, they have just been introduced

:52:16. > :52:18.in the arena. This gymnast legged it out of the medal ceremony to try to

:52:19. > :52:24.get rid of the lactic acid that would have built up from rings. He

:52:25. > :52:29.is going last in the vault final. But this is going to be a very close

:52:30. > :52:32.and a very big vault final. Talking of the age span as well, off the

:52:33. > :52:47.aids gymnasts, we have 219-year-olds and we have three gymnasts who are

:52:48. > :52:59.over 30. Yes, he has every chance of winning. We are going to see a bit

:53:00. > :53:02.of history here. First up, it is Nikita Nagorny. This is one of the

:53:03. > :53:13.19-year-olds I was telling you about. He has been European champion

:53:14. > :53:24.on vault. A very big first vault. It is a vault marks out of six. He

:53:25. > :53:36.brought the hands into the front of the platform. Beautifully straight.

:53:37. > :53:41.Half turn out, just landed with the feet underneath his hips and had to

:53:42. > :53:48.make quite a big hop backwards. But it was a very nicely performed

:53:49. > :53:57.vault. The gymnasts have two land within the two outside green lines.

:53:58. > :54:01.This was his first vault. It came from a forward our movement. He has

:54:02. > :54:05.to do a second vault. It has to be different. And the approach has to

:54:06. > :54:15.be different. He can't just go on forwards again. So he waits for his

:54:16. > :54:20.first score. Here it is. Most gymnasts perform their favoured

:54:21. > :54:32.vault first. So this will need plenty of concentration for this

:54:33. > :54:37.second vault. He did two vault with a tariff of six in the

:54:38. > :54:58.qualification. Member of the Russian team. He pushes off and then wraps.

:54:59. > :55:07.Three twists. It was very clean. We haven't seen many treble twists

:55:08. > :55:10.keener than that. This is a piece of apparatus that just demonstrates how

:55:11. > :55:18.diverse the sport of gymnastics is. And this piece of apparatus is over

:55:19. > :55:26.so quickly, Dan. It is, and it is so easy to get it wrong. Everything in

:55:27. > :55:31.the air can go wrong. You can land sideways. It is so hard to get it

:55:32. > :55:38.perfect on the day. Four years of up for 20 seconds worth of performance.

:55:39. > :55:55.There is a lot of pressure on. Especially when you are 19.

:55:56. > :56:02.You're looking at difficulty and execution, and if you add them

:56:03. > :56:17.together, the two scores provide an average. This is a big moment, this

:56:18. > :56:22.Dan. It is. I have seen a few training videos of him doing it. All

:56:23. > :56:26.the boys out here have been talking about it and saying he has been

:56:27. > :56:30.landing on his feet, so I have been excited to see this. This will be a

:56:31. > :56:37.handspring with three front somersaults. It will. It is usually

:56:38. > :56:50.two, but he's putting in an extra one.

:56:51. > :56:58.Oh, and only just! What do you reckon, guys? Was his feet or his

:56:59. > :57:02.hips first to the floor? I reckon it was his hips and he might be getting

:57:03. > :57:07.a zero. I will have to see the replay. You have to get your feet

:57:08. > :57:22.down first. That is one of the rules of vaulting. But it just seemed to

:57:23. > :57:30.hang in the air. Unbelievable. The height is unbelievable. Oh, he got

:57:31. > :57:38.his feet first. So he should get a score for that. And he should still

:57:39. > :57:52.get a big finish score as well, even with the fall. We haven't had a

:57:53. > :57:59.great view. Oh, I think it was feet. I think so as well, just. Well, he

:58:00. > :58:02.should get points for effort. When you talk about cowboy-ing the legs,

:58:03. > :58:06.that means pulling the knees apart so that the legs can get closer and

:58:07. > :58:14.increase the rotation, that was a cowboy! Well, let's hope the judges

:58:15. > :58:26.have been kind. They have. They have given him the fact that it was feet

:58:27. > :58:40.down first. So he will do a second vault. He has to enter onto the

:58:41. > :58:48.vault a different way. It is his second final of the day. He was in

:58:49. > :58:59.the ring is not long ago. He got a bronze in London at the Olympics.

:59:00. > :59:13.Oh, a very big vault. It was a big step on landing. He looks a bit

:59:14. > :59:19.disappointed. Well, we were all here to witness this, so thank you, my

:59:20. > :59:23.friend. You will see a gymnast in here who, in his own way, made

:59:24. > :59:27.history many years ago. That is Marian Dragulescu. He did a double

:59:28. > :59:34.front and a half turn. So many gymnasts use that vault, and you

:59:35. > :59:40.will see him in this final. Marian Dragulescu is now 35 years old, but

:59:41. > :59:50.he will be the gymnast after the next one. The triple front he had to

:59:51. > :59:56.submit has never been done before, so yet to submit it and he had --

:59:57. > :00:04.they had to decide what difficulty level to give it, and they give it a

:00:05. > :00:16.seven. That still allows him to have quite a big total. It does. A lot of

:00:17. > :00:17.gymnasts will stand on their feet as goal 14.9, 15, which was similar
