Day 10 BBC Four: 22.00-02.00

:00:00. > :00:00.field. Kelly Hudson is umpiring this one.

:00:00. > :00:07.She will be joined by another Australian umpire. Under

:00:08. > :00:18.quarterfinal is under way. And Laura Unsworth has been

:00:19. > :00:21.outstanding throughout the tournament, now Kate

:00:22. > :00:26.Richardson-Walsh. Mel Clewlow is alongside, good evening. Good

:00:27. > :00:32.evening, looking forward to this one massively, to be fair to Spain, they

:00:33. > :00:36.have just played against Germany and Korea, they will not be a pushover,

:00:37. > :00:42.they have changed the style they play, and we could be in for another

:00:43. > :00:47.really interesting, cracking game of hockey. The ball has fallen kindly

:00:48. > :00:50.for Sophie Bray, shooting opportunity, she has won a penalty

:00:51. > :00:57.corner for Great Britain after less than 40 seconds of play. That is

:00:58. > :01:01.just the start they wanted. Fantastic play by Sophie Bray,

:01:02. > :01:09.getting the ball up in the air, just jingling it off the stick, sometimes

:01:10. > :01:14.referred to as 3D skills, she has won a penalty corner within 40

:01:15. > :01:18.seconds of the start of the game. Early test for Maria Lopez between

:01:19. > :01:26.the sticks for Spain and her defenders, Hannah Macleod will

:01:27. > :01:40.inject. Crista Cullen is poised, and Jill Giselle Ansley is alongside.

:01:41. > :01:47.Good effort and not a bad safe from Maria Lopez, it was heading for the

:01:48. > :01:52.top corner. Sophie Bray right in the thick of the action in the first

:01:53. > :01:58.minute of the match, Spain with a chance to get inside the British out

:01:59. > :02:01.of the field for the first time. Hannah Macleod injects to the

:02:02. > :02:07.nearest castle, Crista Cullen growing across, you could see Lopez

:02:08. > :02:12.taking have a step to her right hand side, but Cullen could not put it

:02:13. > :02:18.into that corner, big save from Lopez. Four periods of 15 minutes,

:02:19. > :02:25.the new format, which has been very well received for these Olympics. In

:02:26. > :02:27.past Games, in London, there were classification matches, no

:02:28. > :02:33.quarterfinals, so this is better all round. Alex Danson back to Nicola

:02:34. > :02:38.White, then back to Danson, top scorer for GB in the Games so far

:02:39. > :02:48.with three. White has a couple as well, she takes the free here. This

:02:49. > :02:51.is a decent start for Great Britain, Hollie Webb fires its down the right

:02:52. > :02:59.side, Susannah Townsend looking for the ball. I think the pleasing thing

:03:00. > :03:02.for Great Britain in this tournament, they have got six

:03:03. > :03:07.different scorers on the scoresheet. Normally so much is reliant on Alex

:03:08. > :03:11.Danson or, at times, Crista Cullen or the penalty corner routines. To

:03:12. > :03:16.have six coming into the quarterfinals on the scoresheet is

:03:17. > :03:19.not only an opposition coach's nightmare, but confidence for those

:03:20. > :03:26.players that they can score at this level. Slow burner here from Great

:03:27. > :03:32.Britain, Ansley, solid pass to Laura Unsworth. She is still getting stuck

:03:33. > :03:39.in against Maria Lopez. Lopez wins that battle, Spain on the right now

:03:40. > :03:46.with Gloria Comerma. It has fallen nicely for Begona Garcia, but Kate

:03:47. > :03:51.Richardson-Walsh was alert. A wide run for Alex Danson, she hit the

:03:52. > :03:56.right flank at pace. Lovely touch inside for Townsend, just loses out,

:03:57. > :04:01.just a touch too much for Townsend. When Townsend picks up the ball,

:04:02. > :04:07.three Spanish players, she managed to turn Lola Riera nicely, but three

:04:08. > :04:18.players on her. Townsend again, servicing, pushed behind, GB will

:04:19. > :04:25.get a free hit. Webb. Pro-gun Spain won't mind defending at all, it's

:04:26. > :04:30.what their game is built on. As we see them now, this is how they used

:04:31. > :04:34.to play at pretty much every single international match, they are more

:04:35. > :04:37.than comfortable being in a defensive position, the players know

:04:38. > :04:41.their roles, and it is important that Great Britain can get the ball,

:04:42. > :04:45.move on, get ahead and really use the speed and physicality that they

:04:46. > :04:59.have developed over the last four years. Spain go Arial, the ball

:05:00. > :05:05.bouncing. Nice passage, Begona Garcia heading forward now towards

:05:06. > :05:18.the circle. And Gloria Comerma is down to restart for Spain. Lopez.

:05:19. > :05:24.Way too much force on that attempted pass, the ball was airborne and

:05:25. > :05:30.bounced towards the corner flag as well. GB won't mind that at all,

:05:31. > :05:34.that is what Spain are going to resort to already, that is a

:05:35. > :05:40.positive sign for Great Britain. Great Britain on the break again,

:05:41. > :05:50.Sophie Bray is in the D, waiting for some service - it never came.

:05:51. > :05:59.Townsend, lightning fast. Plays it back to Helen Richardson-Walsh.

:06:00. > :06:05.Helen Richardson-Walsh, great stick work, and she is following up, but

:06:06. > :06:09.Great Britain lose possession. Helen Richardson-Walsh has had the bit

:06:10. > :06:12.between their teeth, I would say, in the last two and a half games in

:06:13. > :06:18.this competition, Soderbergh got to get the ball off and another person

:06:19. > :06:30.who will be a positive influence on this game tonight. -- so difficult

:06:31. > :06:35.to get the ball off. Spain in no rush to restart. Helen

:06:36. > :06:41.Richardson-Walsh with a solid stick in the way. I think it is really

:06:42. > :06:44.good to see Great Britain starting with such a high press, trying to

:06:45. > :06:52.put the Spanish defenders under pressure as early as possible.

:06:53. > :07:01.Nice pass, Spain with a chance to break, a little space on the left

:07:02. > :07:07.flank here, only as far as Sam Quek. Nice first touch from Quek. Great

:07:08. > :07:10.Britain rampaging forward, Townsend turns and accelerates, beautiful

:07:11. > :07:18.move from Susannah Townsend all the way to the baseline. Sam Quek is

:07:19. > :07:23.forward now. Looking around. Decides to take it on herself, have another

:07:24. > :07:28.go, Quek all the way to the edge of the circle, and then back out to the

:07:29. > :07:37.sideline. Georgie Twigg fires it forward. An attempted shot off a

:07:38. > :07:41.Spanish vote, and it will be Great Britain's second penalty corner.

:07:42. > :07:45.Absolutely brilliant from Sophie Bray, a bouncing ball coming away

:07:46. > :07:50.from goal, adds to hit it on the upright into the ground, it bounces

:07:51. > :07:55.up and do Lopez's but, second penalty corner for Britain, positive

:07:56. > :08:00.start by the girls so far. Eight and a quarter minutes left in the first

:08:01. > :08:05.period, Great Britain 0, Spain 0. This time Georgie Twigg will have

:08:06. > :08:13.the injection duties for Great Britain. Laura Unsworth poised to

:08:14. > :08:20.potentially have a strike at this, or maybe Giselle Ansley. A change in

:08:21. > :08:25.tactics for Great Britain, here is Ansley, Unsworth, just off the stick

:08:26. > :08:30.and over, that was close. Sophie Bray's stick in a way, Spanish

:08:31. > :08:35.possession, two penalty corners have come and gone so far for Great

:08:36. > :08:40.Britain. Fantastic delivery by Laura Unsworth, flat and that speed, and

:08:41. > :08:45.Sophie Bray unfortunately angles are stick too much and sends the ball

:08:46. > :08:49.over the crossbar. GB absolutely camped out in the Spanish have at

:08:50. > :08:57.the moment, and it has fallen kindly again. The break, support inside,

:08:58. > :09:02.needs to be laid-back. -- fallen kindly again for Sophie Bray.

:09:03. > :09:08.Desperate Spanish defence, another penalty corner, this will be number

:09:09. > :09:12.three. Helen Richardson-Walsh just grabbing her way along the baseline,

:09:13. > :09:17.just pinball in there, so many players. In the end, I think it

:09:18. > :09:22.comes off Gutierrez for the third penalty corner, but that came from

:09:23. > :09:27.GB winning the ball high up, Georgie Twigg pushing up from the screen

:09:28. > :09:37.position, they robbed Spain just over their 25 yard Lane, and it has

:09:38. > :09:40.been one-way traffic so far. Kate Richardson-Walsh and Giselle Ansley

:09:41. > :09:50.in position to have a strike at this one. Ansley tries a flick, scores,

:09:51. > :09:56.Great Britain are in friend! It came off Georgie Twigg's stick and over

:09:57. > :09:59.for the goal. I do not think there is anybody here who can say Great

:10:00. > :10:05.Britain do not deserve the lead, fantastically well worked penalty

:10:06. > :10:10.corner, it goes out to the far castle, and Giselle Ansley fires the

:10:11. > :10:14.ball, and it was either going to be Helen Richardson-Walsh, flying in,

:10:15. > :10:18.getting a touch, but this is a team that shows its confidence, because

:10:19. > :10:24.the injector as the stick flat on the floor, Richardson-Walsh misses

:10:25. > :10:29.it, Georgie Twigg doesn't, fantastic. Her first goal of the

:10:30. > :10:33.Olympic tournament, and for an Olympic quarterfinal, this has been

:10:34. > :10:39.remarkably one-sided in terms of possession, all Team GB in the first

:10:40. > :10:47.seven and a half minutes. And they have got their reward, Great Britain

:10:48. > :10:59.1, Spain 0. Nichola White takes it up towards the halfway line, held

:11:00. > :11:05.up. Cullen, Quek, Lily Owsley on the field now, let's see what she can

:11:06. > :11:09.bring to the game. She just left the ball behind and tried to take Gine

:11:10. > :11:23.one. Owsley hounding the defenders, who

:11:24. > :11:30.have lost their shape at the moment, just need a little bit of time and

:11:31. > :11:38.space to regroup. Sam Quek loses out, Spain come down this right

:11:39. > :11:50.flank with Magaz, but a nice day from Alex Danson, lasered off to

:11:51. > :11:55.Lily Owsley. -- lays it off. Tumblr pushes it out of play. At the moment

:11:56. > :12:03.Spain cannot compete with the intensity that Great Britain are it

:12:04. > :12:07.at. It took three, four, five Spanish players out of the game

:12:08. > :12:11.there, and anyone who thinks that Great Britain cannot keep this up

:12:12. > :12:18.for three quarters plus five minutes are in for a nice surprise tonight,

:12:19. > :12:23.because these guys are fit tonight. Up for grabs, a place in the

:12:24. > :12:34.semifinal to play New Zealand, who defeated Australia today. Quek on

:12:35. > :12:39.the left for Great Britain, perfect pass, precise to Alex Danson, heads

:12:40. > :12:53.infield to Georgie Twigg. White back to Danson.

:12:54. > :13:03.Crista Cullen finds White in midfield

:13:04. > :13:15.it has been left, and it almost fell for Townsend. Now Owsley, it has

:13:16. > :13:23.fallen for Danson, who drilled that across, a Spanish stick was in the

:13:24. > :13:32.way. Attempted nutmeg around Hollie Webb. I think, to be fair to Spain,

:13:33. > :13:36.they were the lowest ranked team in the tournament, and to make the

:13:37. > :13:43.quarterfinals is a massive plus for them and their hockey. Missed by Sam

:13:44. > :13:49.Quek, Spain with Petchame all the way to the baseline. Owsley back

:13:50. > :13:54.defending, Kate Richardson-Walsh has made a little run ahead of her, and

:13:55. > :13:56.she is there. Then a bit of confusion between Richardson-Walsh

:13:57. > :14:08.and Alex Danson. Also, when you speak to the Spanish

:14:09. > :14:12.coach, Adrian Locke, he was very much targeting Tokyo 2020 with this

:14:13. > :14:17.group of players, so to have this experience four years out, the

:14:18. > :14:20.Spanish goal is something that a lot of these girls will remember and be

:14:21. > :14:25.able to build on with their programme over the next four years.

:14:26. > :14:37.Spanish player down, in some distress, Georgina Oliva, she has

:14:38. > :14:50.been struck. Adrian Locke watching on. I think it was a collision

:14:51. > :14:59.between Oliva and possibly MacLeod. Sophie Bray is having to tidy things

:15:00. > :15:00.up, Danson back defending, as Hollie Webb shadows the Spanish attack down

:15:01. > :15:14.the right. You cannot help feeling that it's

:15:15. > :15:18.bane I going to get back into this game to push for the semifinal

:15:19. > :15:21.position, there will have to make the most of the opportunities they

:15:22. > :15:27.get when they get the ball into the GB defending 25. -- if Spain are

:15:28. > :15:38.going to. It is the best passage of play we

:15:39. > :15:49.have seen from Spain so far, in the last three minutes of this first

:15:50. > :16:00.quarter. Terrific movement from Bray. For me, I think Sophie Bray

:16:01. > :16:04.made the wrong decision. The ball should have gone to Helen

:16:05. > :16:08.Richardson-Walsh, and then it could have gone back into Alex Danson, but

:16:09. > :16:19.they decided to go the more direct route.

:16:20. > :16:33.That is an easy finish for Helen Richardson-Walsh. Second goal. A

:16:34. > :16:40.mistake by Spain has been well and truly punished by the British team.

:16:41. > :16:46.The ball rolled from Danson to Sophie Bray, puts it on to her

:16:47. > :16:51.favoured backhand. Helen Richardson-Walsh finds herself

:16:52. > :16:57.between two Spanish defenders. Simple tap in for now Britain's

:16:58. > :17:01.highest scorer of the tournament so far. It is an uphill struggle for

:17:02. > :17:09.Spain and hopefully, Great Britain will continue to push on. Third goal

:17:10. > :17:09.of the tournament for Helen Richardson-Walsh, to put her level

:17:10. > :17:20.with Alex Danson. Two minutes left until the end of

:17:21. > :17:31.the quarter. It is just the start Great Britain needed. Nicola White

:17:32. > :18:11.has had a really good tournament as well.

:18:12. > :18:14.Crista Cullen's pass was poor, but it was tidied up by Susannah

:18:15. > :18:27.Townsend. They have done well this evening to

:18:28. > :18:32.play the simple ball into space for the players to run onto. My only

:18:33. > :18:38.fear is that they are now going to start trying to dribble, or will

:18:39. > :18:47.they send a message out to the teams left in this tournament? Spain have

:18:48. > :18:54.one chance before the hooter to get on the scoresheet. But the defence

:18:55. > :19:05.so far from Great Britain has been rock solid.

:19:06. > :19:13.There is the hooter. Great Britain are in control, with goals from

:19:14. > :19:21.Georgina Twigg and Helen Richardson-Walsh.

:19:22. > :19:26.DAN WALKER: very impressive from Team GB. We shall be there shortly,

:19:27. > :19:34.but on day ten of the games here in Rio, let's bring you the headlines.

:19:35. > :19:37.There is another gold for Team GB today. It came from Charlotte

:19:38. > :19:42.Dujardin in the individual dressage, just like she did four years ago.

:19:43. > :19:47.She and Valegro did the business, and there were a few tears.

:19:48. > :19:52.Bronze in the hammer for Sophie Hitchon. Her last throw of the

:19:53. > :20:00.competition, she broke her own British record and was delighted

:20:01. > :20:09.with 74.54 metres. There was a gold in the men's vault for the North

:20:10. > :20:14.Korean. And in the women's beam, Simone Biles didn't take the gold.

:20:15. > :20:21.She was only good enough for bronze today after a little wobble. It was

:20:22. > :20:25.won by the Netherlands. And Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge, who we

:20:26. > :20:34.showed you BBC Four, have been the eighth seeded pair to reach the

:20:35. > :20:41.doubles semifinals. Over on BBC Two at the moment, that man, Viviani,

:20:42. > :20:44.has just won the omnium for Italy. He has taken the gold. Mark

:20:45. > :20:49.Cavendish was in silver medal position and coming up soon is Laura

:20:50. > :20:56.Trott, going in the elimination race of the women's omnium. She is the

:20:57. > :21:03.current Olympic gold medallist from London in four years ago.

:21:04. > :21:14.Where are we going next? O'Connor straight back to the hockey. Back to

:21:15. > :21:21.Mel and Matt. COMMENTATOR: Second-quarter under

:21:22. > :21:38.way. You sense there will be a few more goals in this one.

:21:39. > :21:59.Good to see the players starting with intensity.

:22:00. > :22:06.Spain only got a late call to play in the Olympic hockey tournament

:22:07. > :22:13.following South Africa's decision to not field a men's or women's team.

:22:14. > :22:16.Spain got the lucky loser's entry. They were not really prepared for

:22:17. > :22:21.Olympic participation and have done exceptionally well to make it to the

:22:22. > :22:41.quarterfinals. But at the moment, they are being rather found out.

:22:42. > :22:47.At quarter time, Adrian Lock was trying to drum some enthusiasm into

:22:48. > :22:50.his team. He was frustrated that some of them were just walking into

:22:51. > :22:54.the huddle. He will be disappointed with that first quarter, but

:22:55. > :22:58.sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition. As we have said many

:22:59. > :23:02.times this evening, Great Britain have really come out of the blocks

:23:03. > :23:10.and played an exceptional quarter of hockey. Townsend was tripped. No

:23:11. > :23:46.damage done. Wonderful stick and ball skills from

:23:47. > :23:59.Sophie Bray. They have been a key feature of Britain's success so far.

:24:00. > :24:02.Shona McCallin hit a Spanish stick during her follow-through. No real

:24:03. > :24:37.power on it. Penalty corner for Great Britain,

:24:38. > :24:43.penalty corner number four. It is given for a couple of stick tackles.

:24:44. > :24:47.Sophie Bray does well to ride the first one from La Paz, and then

:24:48. > :24:57.Gutierrez comes in with another one. -- from Lopez.

:24:58. > :25:01.Combination of Sam Quek and Sophie Bray winning a penalty corner for

:25:02. > :25:14.Great Britain. Giselle Ansley and Kate

:25:15. > :25:27.Richardson-Walsh are poised to make the drag flick. It is saved. Great

:25:28. > :25:40.Britain still very much in possession and pressing forward.

:25:41. > :25:51.Great Britain are climbing all over this Spanish defence at the moment.

:25:52. > :25:58.Here is the penalty corner again. Giselle Ansley uses the number one

:25:59. > :26:03.runner, tries to block Lopez's view, but she just manages to get the

:26:04. > :26:42.outside of her right pad to make the save from Giselle Ansley.

:26:43. > :26:56.GB are finding themselves in some good positions, getting players onto

:26:57. > :27:00.that baseline. It is good to see that the intentions are there. Their

:27:01. > :27:11.passing skills have been brilliant tonight.

:27:12. > :27:26.Gloria Comerma has set up a promising Spanish attack.

:27:27. > :27:32.Argentina supporters are here for the last quarterfinal of the day,

:27:33. > :28:15.which will be at 8.30, local time. Sticks everywhere, but it is Great

:28:16. > :28:19.Britain's ball. Unfortunately, there were two players in the area as the

:28:20. > :28:25.ball was going to land, which is widely umpire has blown it up. It

:28:26. > :28:27.would have been a Great Britain ball, but it is deemed to be

:28:28. > :29:01.dangerous. Goals from Georgina Twigg and Helen

:29:02. > :29:06.Richardson-Walsh Labritz two sides at the moment. The reward would be a

:29:07. > :29:19.semifinal against the Black sticks, New Zealand. But there is still a

:29:20. > :29:34.long way to go, so we can't write the Spanish off yet.

:29:35. > :29:55.Sophie Bray has had an outstanding match so far.

:29:56. > :30:04.I think in any sport, if you play in the forward line, the most important

:30:05. > :30:08.thing is goals. That is what gives you confidence. Sophie Bray didn't

:30:09. > :30:12.score in the first couple of games, but since she has got on the board,

:30:13. > :30:17.she has been outstanding. Same with Alex Danson and Lili Owsley. The

:30:18. > :30:19.forwards are now scoring goals and you can see the confidence they have

:30:20. > :30:41.got. Alex Danson has just arrived in the

:30:42. > :30:45.circle, they have let it be taken up by Richardson-Walsh, so much skill

:30:46. > :30:55.and confidence from Bray! Penalty corner for Great Britain, this is

:30:56. > :30:57.their fifth. Now, the Spanish are contesting it, and they want to go

:30:58. > :31:13.to the video referral. No? You want to know which stick it

:31:14. > :31:23.came off? I think it came off red, they wanted off white. The ball came

:31:24. > :31:33.off a GB stick. It came off Sophie Bray's stick? Hard to tell, I think,

:31:34. > :31:38.in normal speed. It not take the video referee long to overturn that

:31:39. > :31:45.decision. That decision is overturned, Spain got it right, they

:31:46. > :31:49.keep their video referral option. Role, Bray is at it again,

:31:50. > :31:56.extraordinarily skill, Alex Danson could not make contact. Sophie Bray,

:31:57. > :32:02.in this mood, it is going to be long night for the Spanish defence, I

:32:03. > :32:03.think. Laura Unsworth deep in the Spanish have, Kate Richardson-Walsh

:32:04. > :32:18.up as well. Hollie Webb. Flicked in, blocked by Spain, Crista

:32:19. > :32:25.Cullen write-up on the edge of the circle, controlling things here. --

:32:26. > :32:33.right up. Clattering about just in front of the goal, and Spain get

:32:34. > :32:37.away with it. Not convinced on that decision, but I think Great Britain

:32:38. > :32:45.made the right decision not to go to the referral, because it would have

:32:46. > :32:52.been an interpretation thing. Giselle Ansley finds a Sophie Bray,

:32:53. > :32:57.Townsend, Townsend in pursuit down the centre. This time, Great Britain

:32:58. > :33:07.do get a penalty corner, and Spain are given a card. Christina Guinea

:33:08. > :33:11.is sent packing for two minutes. So hard to defend when a player arrives

:33:12. > :33:18.on the ball at speed, that is what Townsend did, she managed to get the

:33:19. > :33:22.ball away from one player... I think the stick tackle was probably a

:33:23. > :33:31.little bit further back than that, but all positive from Great Britain.

:33:32. > :33:33.Crista Cullen is forward, Giselle Ansley is forward, Kate

:33:34. > :33:41.Richardson-Walsh will inject the ball this time. Great Britain's

:33:42. > :33:46.fifth penalty corner. It comes off a couple of British sticks, the

:33:47. > :33:52.backhand attempt is a good one. Another opportunity, the ball

:33:53. > :33:57.eventually falls behind the goal. So Spain, in their defending, decided

:33:58. > :34:03.to run a low box, number one and number two just over the penalty

:34:04. > :34:04.spot. They clearly think that GB's strengths are the tips and touches

:34:05. > :34:14.in front of Lopez. Four minutes until half-time, Great

:34:15. > :34:32.Britain 2, Spain 0. Crista Cullen, so much time, plenty

:34:33. > :34:36.of options, finds Owsley, who in turn finds Bray, who was all over

:34:37. > :34:42.the field tonight, slides and left to Susannah Townsend. Oh, what a run

:34:43. > :34:51.from Owsley, fallen on her face in the circle, Spain can escape. Great

:34:52. > :35:02.Britain possession once again. Sam Quek on the right. Bray sends it in,

:35:03. > :35:12.Danson picks it up and lasered back, and what an easy finish for Lily

:35:13. > :35:19.Owsley! Great Britain 3, Spain 0! These passage of play was started by

:35:20. > :35:29.Hollie Webb stepping up, quick transfer ball, Sophie Bray with a

:35:30. > :35:34.great touch, Alex Danson, Lily Owsley lays it into an open goal,

:35:35. > :35:38.GBR first to everything, and everything they are touching goes

:35:39. > :35:42.towards goal, and if it is not going into the back of the net, it is

:35:43. > :35:47.forcing Lopez to make the save. It is a long road back for Spain now.

:35:48. > :35:58.Lily Owsley's third goal of the games. Just over three minutes until

:35:59. > :36:05.half-time. An outstanding performance from the entire British

:36:06. > :36:13.team so far tonight. Spain outplayed in every department. Sam Quek back

:36:14. > :36:17.defending. I think the concern for Spain will be the fact that both

:36:18. > :36:21.Helen Richardson-Walsh and Lily Owsley have basically tapped the

:36:22. > :36:25.ball in from two yards away, no Spanish defenders around them, and

:36:26. > :36:29.the ball is going into that danger area. It is probably the movement of

:36:30. > :36:34.those players rather than them being stood there and a defender not doing

:36:35. > :36:38.their job, but for that to happen, it is about timing, knowing when the

:36:39. > :36:48.pass is going to come for Owsley to step in front of the defender. Spain

:36:49. > :36:52.with a rare excursion into the Great Britain circle. Danny Kerry on the

:36:53. > :37:00.right with the red baseball cap, relatively relaxed tonight.

:37:01. > :37:18.Owsley finds McCallin, all the way back to Kate Richardson-Walsh.

:37:19. > :37:23.Owsley combines with Helen Richardson-Walsh on the right, Helen

:37:24. > :37:27.Richardson-Walsh has made a chunk of ground, and that was almost a

:37:28. > :37:40.wonderful turn and escape by Susannah Townsend, just held up.

:37:41. > :37:50.Spain have under a minute and a half to get something from this first 30

:37:51. > :37:59.minutes of hockey. A bit of space here, Christina Guinea, her passes

:38:00. > :38:14.behind, but Spain will maintain possession. Xantal Gine in towards

:38:15. > :38:19.the circle. Comerma thinks about the best course of action now, inside

:38:20. > :38:40.the final 60 seconds of the half, Spain rebuilds down the left. Lily

:38:41. > :38:47.Owsley on the charge, Shona McCallin ahead of her, Owsley all the way,

:38:48. > :38:51.cannot find McCallin, and with 15 seconds left on the clock, that

:38:52. > :38:58.might be Great Britain's last opportunity of the half. An

:38:59. > :39:01.outstanding half of hockey from the British team, three goals from

:39:02. > :39:05.Georgie Twigg, Helen Richardson-Walsh and Lily Owsley,

:39:06. > :39:09.and at the half-time hooter Great Britain have a comfortable lead. GB

:39:10. > :39:16.3, Spain 0. DAN WALKER: We will continue to

:39:17. > :39:19.watch this in the second half, very comfortable for Team GB in that

:39:20. > :39:23.first half, down to pitch side to get some reaction with Katherine

:39:24. > :39:28.Downes, who was with Simon Mason. Yes, standing right next to me, you

:39:29. > :39:32.said, as we were watching the closing stages of the first-half, if

:39:33. > :39:36.Great Britain could get a third, it would move the match out of Spain's

:39:37. > :39:44.reach, Spain coming back from that? I cannot see it, they would have to

:39:45. > :39:47.get a really early goal in the second half. When it is just two, a

:39:48. > :39:52.defensive lapse from GB could give them some momentum, but they have

:39:53. > :39:56.not shown they can score many goals against a world-class team like GB.

:39:57. > :40:00.What do you say to Great Britain in a changing room now in a half-time

:40:01. > :40:04.talk? You cannot let the pressure drop, led Spain getaway on the

:40:05. > :40:10.break, what do you say to the girls? Pretty much what you say, it is all

:40:11. > :40:13.about the speed, all about the teams speed, just maintaining the momentum

:40:14. > :40:18.throughout the course of the next half, do not give Spain even a sniff

:40:19. > :40:24.of an opportunity. We will be tuning in for the rest in a moment, thank

:40:25. > :40:28.you, Dan. Lie buys yes, back for the second half shortly, but a little

:40:29. > :40:32.treat for you, advice if you have been a regular viewer, you will know

:40:33. > :40:37.that we have the magic of Maria a few nights ago. If this is the first

:40:38. > :40:41.night you are watching, this happened to us 48 hours ago, and the

:40:42. > :40:46.video has gone around the world. 11 million people have seen this, we

:40:47. > :40:52.were about to hand to the weightlifting here on Copacabana, a

:40:53. > :40:59.hen party came wandering down the beach, and the rest is history, here

:41:00. > :41:08.we go. We promised you some weightlifting,

:41:09. > :41:12.we're not sure how many of you are there, let's see what is going on,

:41:13. > :41:19.it looks like a hen do, can we have a look? There we go! A Brazilian hen

:41:20. > :41:25.party! They are clearly enjoying themselves. They seem to be all tied

:41:26. > :41:32.together as well. Magnificent scenes, maybe that is how you do it

:41:33. > :41:34.in Brazil. The bride! Here is the bride, can we see the bright? There

:41:35. > :41:39.she is. Come on, then! Right, now, this

:41:40. > :42:01.could be interesting... Allow! Hello, what is your name? My

:42:02. > :42:08.name is Maria. You are from Brazil? Yes, I am from Belo Horizonte. You

:42:09. > :42:15.are clearly having a very good night, all your friends are here,

:42:16. > :42:23.when are you getting married? In one month, September 17. This lot coming

:42:24. > :42:31.to the wedding? Yes! Maria! Maria! I love her! Maria! Are you going and

:42:32. > :42:35.do have an excellent night? You are getting married here? You are

:42:36. > :42:41.getting married on Copacabana? Yes, Copacabana beach! I want to say

:42:42. > :42:49.something for my husband. Is he having a stag do, a party tonight?

:42:50. > :42:53.He is at home. A message for your husband, can you keep it clean? A

:42:54. > :43:00.message for your husband, I hope he is watching BBC Four! English if

:43:01. > :43:12.that is OK. I love you so much, you are my love, love! What is his name?

:43:13. > :43:21.Juno. You have to think about his name! He has a nickname. And Maria,

:43:22. > :43:26.OK. This is magical, this is a special moment for us all. One last

:43:27. > :43:32.thing, we have some live sport, people won't weightlifting, or do

:43:33. > :43:40.you want Maria? Maria! Last thing to say. Last thing, my football team!

:43:41. > :43:59.Come an! Luminese! And you're getting married

:44:00. > :44:03.in one month? Have a beautiful wedding. Thank you very much. See

:44:04. > :44:09.you later, enjoy the rest of your evening! Right... Thank you! We are

:44:10. > :44:26.just going to wave goodbye! No, that is great, we are still

:44:27. > :44:47.live! We are on the BBC. BBC?! BBC, yes! Maria! BBC! BBC! BBC! BBC! This

:44:48. > :44:51.is lovely! BBC! BBC! BBC! This is lovely, thank you very much,

:44:52. > :44:56.goodbye! We appreciate the support for the BBC as well, Maria. You are

:44:57. > :45:02.getting married, no-one is going to call you, see you later! Your

:45:03. > :45:07.husband is watching out over! Thank you, enjoy your evening, lovely to

:45:08. > :45:12.see you! Well, that was a bit special, wasn't it? You don't get

:45:13. > :45:21.that on BBC One, do you?! Goodbye, we love you all! BBC!

:45:22. > :45:28.Since then, Maria has invited us to her wedding!

:45:29. > :45:33.Her mum has also been in contact, thanking us for making her a star.

:45:34. > :45:37.Millions have watched that around the world. She has recently joined

:45:38. > :45:42.Twitter and has been on Facebook, and she has a lot of new friends in

:45:43. > :45:45.many parts of the world. So thank you for that, Maria. Really

:45:46. > :45:51.appreciate the invitation to your wedding. Leave it with me. I will

:45:52. > :45:56.have to have a word with Mrs Walker. I will try my best! It was very nice

:45:57. > :46:00.of you and it was a pleasure to have you on the BBC and all your very

:46:01. > :46:04.rowdy friends. That is the first time I have seen that fell in the

:46:05. > :46:08.background! He was enjoying himself. Wright, day ten of the Olympics.

:46:09. > :46:11.Thank you for your texts and comments and tweets about that.

:46:12. > :46:21.Let's bring you up-to-date with the headlines headlines on BBC Four.

:46:22. > :46:30.Gold for Charlotte Dujardin in the individual dressage today. She and

:46:31. > :46:34.Valegro did the business. In the last hour, there has been a

:46:35. > :46:46.silver on the cycling track for Mark Cavendish of Great Britain in the

:46:47. > :46:50.men's omnium. So a goal, a silver and bronze in the hammer for Sophie

:46:51. > :46:58.Hitchon. Her last throw in the competition, she broke own British

:46:59. > :47:07.record and a 74.54 was enough for a medal. Great news for Marcus Ellis

:47:08. > :47:11.and Chris Langridge as well. The eighth seeded Japanese pair were

:47:12. > :47:21.beaten by the Brits today, and they are into the badminton semifinals.

:47:22. > :47:25.Right, we are going back to the hockey now for the second half. We

:47:26. > :47:29.will not stay with it for the duration of the second half, because

:47:30. > :47:32.that will be moving to BBC One in ten minutes' time. We will have more

:47:33. > :47:36.live sport for you after that. I know lots of people are saying we

:47:37. > :47:39.are making you switch channels, but hopefully you understand, because

:47:40. > :47:43.BBC One will take you the end of this game and we will bring you some

:47:44. > :47:47.more live sport on BBC Four. We will also have a nice wander around the

:47:48. > :47:52.beach at some stage. We need the bin men to come out, because we like to

:47:53. > :47:57.have that every night, and they are just setting up for the circuit

:47:58. > :48:02.training. Look, the dumbbells are out, the kettle bells are there. As

:48:03. > :48:06.yet, no sign of Antony Worrall Thompson, but if he turns up, we'll

:48:07. > :48:11.try and bring you the Antony Worrall Thompson watch. Now back to the

:48:12. > :48:14.second half of the hockey. And at some stage, we will let you know

:48:15. > :48:20.when it switches to BBC One and we will go somewhere else. Here we go,

:48:21. > :48:25.Team GB are three up against Spain. They qualified with five wins out of

:48:26. > :48:29.five in their pool. Spain lost their first three matches and won their

:48:30. > :48:33.last two to squeeze through. So far, Team GB are looking good going into

:48:34. > :48:39.the second half of this match. Let's pick it up again with Mel and Matt.

:48:40. > :48:43.COMMENTATOR: The second half is about to get under way, Great

:48:44. > :48:49.Britain now attacking the gold to our right. Goals in the first half

:48:50. > :48:55.from Georgina Twigg, Lily Owsley and Helen Richardson-Walsh to put Great

:48:56. > :48:59.Britain in command of this quarterfinal. New Zealander weight

:49:00. > :49:22.in the semis. Spain have a lot to do to get back in this match.

:49:23. > :49:30.Sophie Bray was the outstanding player for Great Britain in the

:49:31. > :49:31.first half, and she is at it again. Another lovely piece of stick skill

:49:32. > :49:51.from her. Probably the first time and again

:49:52. > :49:55.that Great Britain didn't know what they were going to do with the past,

:49:56. > :49:58.and Crista Cullen ended up putting the ball on her foot. I am

:49:59. > :50:08.interested to see how this team comes out in the second half. Spain

:50:09. > :50:11.have not had an opportunity at goal. Our Britain going to play

:50:12. > :50:14.differently? There is no doubt the New Zealand coaching staff are in

:50:15. > :50:33.the crowd somewhere. Quite's attempted shot is saved --

:50:34. > :50:39.some quite's attempted shot. Good to see the left defender up in the

:50:40. > :50:45.circle. Some quick flicks something at the goal and Lopez puts the ball

:50:46. > :51:04.onto Sophie Bray's foot. Susannah Townsend is on a real burst

:51:05. > :51:17.here. Sophie Bray has missed out this

:51:18. > :51:34.time. A big collision between Kate

:51:35. > :51:46.Richardson-Walsh and one of the Spanish players. She is down and a

:51:47. > :51:59.little hurt, I think. Great strength by Kate Richardson-Walsh. You OK?

:52:00. > :52:00.The two captains clashed on the field. Played against each other for

:52:01. > :52:17.a long time. A bit of creativity potentially here

:52:18. > :53:14.for Great Britain. Great Britain have known when they

:53:15. > :53:15.need to play the ball forwards and when they need to keep possession

:53:16. > :53:40.and move the ball around the back. Shona McCallin will sit it out for a

:53:41. > :54:33.couple of minutes. Spain are camped out on the edge of

:54:34. > :54:34.the circle right now. Spain have their first penalty corner of the

:54:35. > :54:56.game. But it is being referred. The

:54:57. > :55:02.penalty corner was awarded, but it is heading up to the video umpire

:55:03. > :55:15.now. Great Britain are saying it was too high on Crista Cullen. It has

:55:16. > :55:20.actually hit the stick. From that angle, it looked like it hit Crista

:55:21. > :55:33.Cullen's stick. It was a good referral by Great Britain.

:55:34. > :55:51.No foot, no danger. So, the initial decision is overturned. There is no

:55:52. > :56:15.penalty corner for Spain. Great Britain keep their video referral.

:56:16. > :56:38.Maybe Maddie Hinch will be called in for the first time for a serious

:56:39. > :56:54.role. DAN WALKER: now, we gave you the

:56:55. > :56:58.warning on this one. We are going to leave the hockey at this point on

:56:59. > :57:01.BBC Four, with Team GB looking good to make it through to the

:57:02. > :57:07.semifinals, where they will play New Zealand. If you switch over right

:57:08. > :57:11.now, the match continues on BBC One. Sorry to do that to do, but we are

:57:12. > :57:15.going to stay here and show you a cracking badminton match in the

:57:16. > :57:19.men's singles round of 16. Rajiv Ouseph is in the Olympics knockout

:57:20. > :57:28.stages for the first time, taking on the seventh seed, Tommy Sugiarto of

:57:29. > :57:32.Indonesia. The British number one, Ouseph, is seeded 13. They have met

:57:33. > :57:36.each other five times but he has yet to beat the Indian nation. Let's

:57:37. > :57:38.pick this up at the start of the match with Simon Reade and Paul

:57:39. > :58:11.Hand. COMMENTATOR: At six foot three, he

:58:12. > :58:12.has a really powerful smash, Rajiv. A silver medal bank of Indonesia

:58:13. > :58:56.fans behind Tommy. Huge smashing from Sugiarto. Very

:58:57. > :59:01.much so. He gets his feet well behind the ball and then launches up

:59:02. > :59:12.and threw it effectively. A real powerhouse, Tommy Sugiarto.

:59:13. > :59:20.See again, anything remotely misplaced, he is on to you like a

:59:21. > :59:40.rash. He has a lot of elastic energy.

:59:41. > :59:52.Again, you could see Ouseph making his way to his right. The net play

:59:53. > :00:10.is always critical in men's singles. The trouble is, when you lift a way

:00:11. > :00:17.to this man, he has been venomous overhead so far.

:00:18. > :00:36.Really getting stuck in now. This is as difficult as you -- Ouseph might

:00:37. > :01:15.have feared. Well played. He needs to counter.

:01:16. > :01:22.Yeah, very difficult for all who served to work out which way he is

:01:23. > :01:29.going with the smash. It is tricky to read, deceptive. Ouseph just

:01:30. > :01:31.trying to push deep to the forehand to open up the court space, but

:01:32. > :02:12.Sugiarto is such a good athlete. This, the best rally of the match.

:02:13. > :02:17.Once again, Sugiarto takes it. Yes, 21-shot rally, and you can see

:02:18. > :02:21.already he has got ninjas speed, Tommy Sugiarto, and he backs it up

:02:22. > :02:26.with very powerful smashes as well, so just a dangerous man, and you can

:02:27. > :02:32.see how he has reached a career high of three in the world. Ouseph has

:02:33. > :02:34.been as high as 11. He gave it so much variety in that last point, but

:02:35. > :03:04.he came out the wrong end. Sugiarto is pushing Ouseph around

:03:05. > :03:08.all corners of the court. Yes, he has got real position, taking the

:03:09. > :03:12.time and space away from Rajiv, and that is why he is flustered, he is

:03:13. > :03:26.under time pressure a lot against Sugiarto.

:03:27. > :03:40.Time and time again, that smashes -- smash is counting. It was close for

:03:41. > :04:10.a while, 2-2 at one stage, but now 9-3 four -- for Sugiarto.

:04:11. > :04:18.Yes, very well played, what a gruelling rally, though, for Ouseph,

:04:19. > :04:26.but under pressure time after time. Showing a lot of character, Rajiv,

:04:27. > :04:27.just to hang in, deal with those precision strikes from the

:04:28. > :04:55.Indonesian very effectively. Well, he has challenged this call,

:04:56. > :05:02.but one of the outstanding features of Sugiarto's game, on the evidence

:05:03. > :05:06.what we have seen, is that he is so quick to retrieve some of those

:05:07. > :05:09.clear Xander lifts from Ouseph, get back with explosive movement and

:05:10. > :05:23.takes advantage more often than not. -- clears and lifts. So challenge

:05:24. > :05:30.unsuccessful, then, the call stands. Huge Davis as for British badminton,

:05:31. > :05:42.Langridge and Ellis making it through to the semifinals of the

:05:43. > :05:46.men's doubles, beating Endo and Hayakawa in straight games, the

:05:47. > :05:56.first semifinalist for Britain since 2004. That was Gail Emms and Nathan

:05:57. > :06:07.Robertson. That match will be played tomorrow morning, so a bit of a

:06:08. > :06:12.revival here for Ouseph. So the game getting a little bit more

:06:13. > :06:19.competitive. A run of three points for Rajiv, which delights the

:06:20. > :06:21.audience, I am sure. He is losing concentration at the moment,

:06:22. > :06:59.Sugiarto. Haemorrhaging points very quickly. The lead is just one.

:07:00. > :07:11.What a super rally from Ouseph, five points in a row, 9-9. It was a

:07:12. > :07:13.terrific tight shot here that got the short lived away, and Ouseph

:07:14. > :08:12.punished it. -- short lift. What a gruelling rally, but again it

:08:13. > :08:20.is Ouseph who stays with it, defends well, at tax well, and he is in

:08:21. > :08:23.front. -- attacks. Absolutely brilliant from Ouseph, a lung

:08:24. > :08:38.buster, that one. Well, it seems inconceivable that

:08:39. > :08:40.this would happen, seven points in a row for Rajiv Ouseph, who was being

:08:41. > :09:01.comprehensively outplayed. Something ignited within him, he was

:09:02. > :09:06.able to stay with the big shots, defend well, and then no longer

:09:07. > :09:11.being dictated to. I think that coupled with a slight lapse in

:09:12. > :09:16.concentration from Sugiarto, it had almost been too easy from the start,

:09:17. > :09:21.and he went walkies with his mindset. Some kind of distraction, I

:09:22. > :09:26.don't know, but real credit to Rajiv Ouseph for turning this opening game

:09:27. > :09:32.around against this man who we has never won a single game against in

:09:33. > :09:33.five showings. It would be a terrific day for British badminton

:09:34. > :10:18.if you were able to wriggle away. Well, at last the run of points,

:10:19. > :10:57.whatever it was, stands at eight. And he is playing as if he cannot

:10:58. > :11:02.believe what is happening, Sugiarto. You have to credit Ouseph for his

:11:03. > :11:09.concentration powers and ability to just, well, the stickability,

:11:10. > :11:11.frankly. He is directing most of this traffic towards the forehand of

:11:12. > :11:32.the Indonesian. Well, there, finally, the run of

:11:33. > :11:50.points come to an end after nine successive points for the Brit.

:11:51. > :11:58.And one of the standout features from the first half of the game, if

:11:59. > :12:01.you like, is the fact that the Indonesian, Sugiarto, is power

:12:02. > :12:06.smashing time and again, but not so now, he has been denied that.

:12:07. > :12:13.Playing a lot of tight net shots, keeping the shuttle lower more

:12:14. > :12:19.regularly. Again, Sugiarto is looking for the shuttle to come to

:12:20. > :12:29.his forehand, totally nonplussed, and now it is a five-point lead for

:12:30. > :12:39.Rajiv Ouseph. I remember at one stage Sugiarto led by six. It has

:12:40. > :12:41.been quite a miraculous turnaround, hasn't it? But can you put this game

:12:42. > :13:04.to bed? Well, it shows the lack of

:13:05. > :13:08.concentration going on here. Just desperate to sort of callable any

:13:09. > :13:15.way he can, he sort of over prisoners, snatchers at that one. --

:13:16. > :13:22.draw level. He looked so rhythmic earlier on, not any longer, he has

:13:23. > :13:26.really been put out of his stride. And that one was way wide. Well, he

:13:27. > :13:36.has decided to go with the aggressive legs as well, trying to

:13:37. > :13:38.rush Ouseph by closing down the net quickly, but Ouseph has all the

:13:39. > :13:48.answers. Writes and there is almost a

:13:49. > :13:57.nonchalance and a lackadaisical feel to this man at the moment. Well, he

:13:58. > :13:59.is mentally out of it, it seems. He was 9-3 down? Yeah, it might have

:14:00. > :14:32.even been 9-2, possibly. Didn't he get out of danger well

:14:33. > :14:35.there? That is how good he is, how dangerous he is, but we haven't seen

:14:36. > :14:42.much of that since the early stages of the game. Ouseph still three

:14:43. > :15:00.points away from his first ever win of a game against Sugiarto.

:15:01. > :15:07.You can see, he wasn't that bothered! One seesaw Ouseph reach up

:15:08. > :15:12.for the smash, he gave it away. -- once he saw. Two points from the

:15:13. > :15:26.opening game. So seven game points for Rajiv

:15:27. > :15:54.Ouseph. That wasn't a great effort from

:15:55. > :15:58.Tommy Sugiarto. We will expect more from him in the second game. But

:15:59. > :16:03.credit to Ouseph, he turned it around. It was almost an implosion,

:16:04. > :16:09.like Sugiarto was too cool for school. Very unusual. This is the

:16:10. > :16:14.Olympic Games. I am sure he will want to put his best foot forward

:16:15. > :16:19.now. He is a controversial character in Indonesia. His father won the

:16:20. > :16:24.world title in 1983, and he himself has had differences of opinion with

:16:25. > :16:30.the badminton Association in Indonesia. In the end, he withdrew

:16:31. > :16:34.from the national squad in January of 2015, saying he wasn't getting

:16:35. > :16:38.enough is no attention, and he was out for a year. But obviously, the

:16:39. > :16:43.law of the Olympics made them kiss and make up and he was selected

:16:44. > :16:46.again this February for the Asian Championships, got a quarterfinal

:16:47. > :16:55.place and here he is in the Olympics. Yes, it is a strange draw.

:16:56. > :16:58.He is a complex man. We saw it all in that opening game. Utter

:16:59. > :17:07.brilliance for the first four minutes, and then nothing much else.

:17:08. > :17:10.He has got to get his act together, otherwise this will be the winner of

:17:11. > :17:18.Rajiv Ouseph's career. Couldn't agree more. Ouseph has shown real

:17:19. > :17:24.discipline, focus on attitude and application. Julian Robertson will

:17:25. > :17:29.have studied the video footage of Sugiarto. They will have done their

:17:30. > :17:35.homework. Everything is going swimmingly for the man in red.

:17:36. > :17:45.Biggest occasion for him, runner-up in the European Championships in

:17:46. > :17:49.Kazan a couple of years ago. And in the Olympics in London, he was out

:17:50. > :17:54.in the group stages. Here, he is through his group and here's a game

:17:55. > :18:11.away from the quarterfinal. So it will be Ouseph to begin.

:18:12. > :18:19.You imagine that if this man can accelerate away with a decent start,

:18:20. > :18:23.you might see Sugiarto getting disinterested again. But suddenly,

:18:24. > :18:52.his interest is piqued and he is off to a flyer.

:18:53. > :19:18.No challenge. Must have been very close indeed.

:19:19. > :19:21.There is a renewed physical and mental application now from

:19:22. > :19:36.Sugiarto. The job for Ouseph is to stay with

:19:37. > :19:41.him. We saw the mental fragility in the opening game. It may reappear.

:19:42. > :20:01.Unlikely, but you never know. Way wide. It has taken him 11 games

:20:02. > :20:02.and five and a half matches to win his first game against Sugiarto, so

:20:03. > :20:22.why not a second? There is no doubting his talent, but

:20:23. > :20:28.the state of mind is a little wishy-washy and flaky at the moment.

:20:29. > :20:41.Rajiv is desperately trying to stay in touch here and turn this second

:20:42. > :21:01.game around. Sugiarto opening up a 3-point cushion.

:21:02. > :21:07.This is the kind of form we saw in the opening game. There has to be a

:21:08. > :21:09.precision from Ouseph, otherwise they get punished by this terrific

:21:10. > :21:37.athlete. Fantastic athleticism from Sugiarto.

:21:38. > :21:43.But it didn't amount to anything. Just when you thought he was back to

:21:44. > :21:44.his bullying best, it was a great cross net shot, but he didn't back

:21:45. > :22:03.it up. Great sleight of hand earlier on

:22:04. > :22:07.with that crosscourt from Ouseph. And he is still within two, staying

:22:08. > :22:11.in touch in the second game. He is such a great man to watch when he

:22:12. > :22:15.plays those really high-level skill shots. He makes the difficult look

:22:16. > :22:20.so easy, gliding around the court. There is a silky smoothness to the

:22:21. > :22:22.performer in red. As indeed, there is with this man, but he is a little

:22:23. > :22:46.patchy, in and out. A rather irritated expression from

:22:47. > :23:24.Sugiarto. Just too quick. It is a bullying

:23:25. > :23:57.body smash. Right at the pocket of Ouseph.

:23:58. > :24:03.He is doing well to stay with him. Some gorgeous body fakes from the

:24:04. > :24:34.Indonesian. Some sleight of hand from both men.

:24:35. > :24:43.Oh, how quick he was to close on that. What an athlete. Ouseph is

:24:44. > :24:49.looking really composed. He has lost matches in the past that some feel

:24:50. > :24:55.he should have won. But he is rhythmic and cool as you like here.

:24:56. > :25:02.And he is happy to extend the rallies. It has obviously been a

:25:03. > :25:07.talking point, to try and almost bore Sugiarto. His concentration can

:25:08. > :25:30.suddenly switch off. He has been very diligent in that regard, Rajiv.

:25:31. > :25:35.Often, the coaches pick up on something that perhaps the players

:25:36. > :25:42.can't, because they have been so embroiled with the point unfolding.

:25:43. > :25:46.The precision has come back to Sugiarto's game suddenly. Wonderful

:25:47. > :26:18.smash across the shuttle. At the mid-game break, everything is

:26:19. > :26:31.looking shipshape for Tommy Sugiarto. Can he keep it going?

:26:32. > :26:39.He looks kind of world-weary at times, doesn't he? He has heard it

:26:40. > :26:51.all before. You get the feeling he is very much his own man. Moments of

:26:52. > :26:53.utter brilliance from Tommy Sugiarto in the early stages of the second

:26:54. > :27:17.game. Has the bubble burst for Ouseph? Or

:27:18. > :27:22.can he get back into this second game? He is working extremely hard

:27:23. > :27:44.to try and do so, contain this man in white who is such a rich talent.

:27:45. > :27:47.He sometimes wants to finish off the rallies a bit too early, the

:27:48. > :28:52.Indonesian. What it in? I didn't hear a call,

:28:53. > :28:55.but it is noisy. Interesting that Sugiarto was very content to rally,

:28:56. > :29:01.not bothered about the length of the rally. And renewed physical

:29:02. > :29:05.intensity to that approach as well. He has got the bit between his teeth

:29:06. > :29:18.now, really engaged with this second game. It has become a pride thing

:29:19. > :29:22.for him. A switch of the point of attack, and Sugiarto not able to go

:29:23. > :29:32.with it. He is asking for the courts to be swept by the attendant. A few

:29:33. > :29:33.drops of water. It gives him an opportunity to race for the towel

:29:34. > :30:04.quickly. Well played. That was the look of

:30:05. > :30:12.the points we saw in the opening half of the first game. Commanding

:30:13. > :30:24.the points with those strong smashes.

:30:25. > :30:28.Oh, gorgeous shot. Yes, beautiful slice, just calving down the

:30:29. > :30:52.right-hand side. How did he get that out? Immaculate

:30:53. > :30:56.defence, there was a lot of chilly on that smash too! Quite

:30:57. > :31:00.extraordinary, how he extricated himself from that position, total

:31:01. > :31:10.control, back five points in the lead.

:31:11. > :31:23.Now it is all going the Indonesian's way. A terrific sense of calm about

:31:24. > :31:25.Rajiv Ouseph, he never seems to panic, just a few words from the

:31:26. > :31:44.coach behind him. Probing for the opening, but you

:31:45. > :31:53.could see that Sugiarto read him like a book there. Yeah, terrific

:31:54. > :32:08.perception skills and excellent athletic skills as well and close

:32:09. > :32:14.that out. -- to pounce. That crosscourt works a treat, dived by

:32:15. > :32:46.the net. It is Sugiarto by six points.

:32:47. > :32:59.Yes. Being mopped up at the moment, Rajiv Ouseph. Sugiarto seems to have

:33:00. > :33:07.an answer to everything he is producing.

:33:08. > :33:14.The combination of rock-solid defence, terrific intensity, good

:33:15. > :33:15.concentration as well, and power smashing, and he's just having his

:33:16. > :33:37.way, Sugiarto. He has kept buoyant, still trying to

:33:38. > :33:39.get the openings, pouncing when he gets them, but there have been very

:33:40. > :34:02.few opportunities. Really good defence from Ouseph, but

:34:03. > :34:11.once again Sugiarto too good. Darting around the court,

:34:12. > :34:49.gazelle-like fashion. So it has been a masterful

:34:50. > :34:52.exhibition from Sugiarto in the second game, here are eight game

:34:53. > :34:59.points to level up. Missing the reverse slice, spilling

:35:00. > :35:34.into the doubles tramline. Oh, the way it goes, two game points

:35:35. > :35:46.saved, but he has still got a very healthy caution. -- cushion.

:35:47. > :36:01.He finished the second game a very different contender than the one who

:36:02. > :36:08.finished the first. And after 39 minutes, it is one game each.

:36:09. > :36:12.Although British fans will not want to hear this, you feel like Tommy

:36:13. > :36:37.Sugiarto has the match on his racket when he's into it.

:36:38. > :37:07.FASCINATING ADVICE,, we were saying it was in Sugiarto's hands, but he

:37:08. > :37:19.doesn't believe that, he thinks there are just one to alterations

:37:20. > :37:31.that Ouseph can make change it. He is going to expect you to go, and

:37:32. > :37:36.you are not going to go. OK? Right? A very positive spin, better than

:37:37. > :37:41.the other way, that is for sure! They are trying to keep him afloat,

:37:42. > :37:48.but obviously be danger is that the extraordinary talent that Sugiarto

:37:49. > :37:53.showed in that second game, that should prevail. But you never know,

:37:54. > :37:57.he went away in the first game. It will become a real physical and

:37:58. > :38:01.mental encounter now for this man, who has got to extend the points and

:38:02. > :38:08.not be scared to just hang in and work so hard and give this fellow a

:38:09. > :38:13.little bit of time to switch off. With his net game, he has got to get

:38:14. > :38:20.to the shuttle a little bit earlier. He was giving his opponent time to

:38:21. > :38:29.pounce. So Sugiarto begins this deciding game. An emphatic start to

:38:30. > :38:41.game number three, as there was at the end of game number two.

:38:42. > :38:52.It is fascinating how the coaches were saying that, those Rusev really

:38:53. > :39:00.feel it is in his hands? Or does he feel a little bit in all of this

:39:01. > :39:02.kind of shotmaking? -- Ouseph. Sugiarto really has the facility to

:39:03. > :39:49.rush Rajiv Ouseph at times. A massive rally, but it goes the

:39:50. > :40:24.same way as the first two. Suddenly, you sensed Sugiarto is

:40:25. > :40:28.really engaged and into this. It is almost as if what went on in the

:40:29. > :40:34.first game, whatever happens, if I lose this game in a rush, I will

:40:35. > :40:37.win. It looks like he might be right. Still early stages. Well

:40:38. > :40:46.played. There is some quickness, some power

:40:47. > :41:09.there. Well, he had it, he had Sugiarto

:41:10. > :41:39.scrambling in the front court, the gap was there.

:41:40. > :41:47.Yes, really good. A lot of the skies, didn't know which way he was

:41:48. > :41:54.going, and despite that marathon rally, what was it, 49 strokes?

:41:55. > :42:04.Still smooth is Ouseph, still dangerous.

:42:05. > :42:14.And keeping it tight. He is doing well, injecting a lot of pace into

:42:15. > :42:22.the smashers, Ouseph, and that is where Sugiarto was scoring so richly

:42:23. > :42:30.at the start of the match himself. Oh! Another string gone. Fortunate

:42:31. > :42:36.that he did not have to play another shot. The players will all be

:42:37. > :42:41.carrying between eight and 12 rackets in their bag anyway, so

:42:42. > :42:45.plenty left. There is an army of string is, of course, behind the

:42:46. > :43:01.scenes in an event of this stature. -- stringers. Yes, careless. Ouseph

:43:02. > :43:20.just a point away. Yes. Fabulous shot. Yeah,

:43:21. > :43:24.anti-ratchet up the explosiveness and the movement, aggressive legs,

:43:25. > :43:37.get behind the shuttle well. -- and he ratchets up.

:43:38. > :44:00.He has lied and agile, but he is as strong as an ox, Ouseph. -- he is

:44:01. > :44:42.lithe. He's doing very, very well to stay with Sugiarto at this stage.

:44:43. > :44:50.They both look so silky smooth, but it is Ouseph of Great Britain who

:44:51. > :44:51.was making his move at the moment. Delightful shot there, just so tight

:44:52. > :45:22.to the net. Just out. Ouseph is reading him very

:45:23. > :45:29.well at the moment. Yes, he has got the patterns of play down to 80, he

:45:30. > :45:30.is a millisecond ahead now, Ouseph, and that is all important at this

:45:31. > :45:57.highest level. This is a very sudden change around.

:45:58. > :46:07.Of course, they are playing for the last quarterfinal berth, these two.

:46:08. > :46:15.Yes, on an adjoining court, the number four seed from Denmark played

:46:16. > :46:22.against the Irish competitor. A fine performance from the big Dane,

:46:23. > :46:38.21-16, 20 1-12. The winner will play axel some on Wednesday.

:46:39. > :46:50.You just don't know which way he is going to go. No, he is so deceptive

:46:51. > :47:09.and so powerful. He is a man of extraordinary talent.

:47:10. > :47:19.Beautifully controlled. Using his aggressive legs to take the shuttle

:47:20. > :47:31.as high as he can. Asks permission to towel down, and

:47:32. > :48:15.gets it. Fantastic skill from both guys. But

:48:16. > :48:20.again, the smash proves the difference. When he gets the

:48:21. > :48:25.opportunity to smash, he is winning the point. Yes, he has a lot of

:48:26. > :48:28.precision of directional control, with a lot of speed as well,

:48:29. > :49:01.Sugiarto. Very dangerous overhead. The time pressure is starting to

:49:02. > :49:34.increase on this man now. He is being rushed more often than not.

:49:35. > :49:41.Tommy Sugiarto driving the point now, taking ownership of this. When

:49:42. > :49:46.you watch the difference in physicality, you see Rajiv just a

:49:47. > :49:50.bit slower than Sugiarto, who is motoring along and really putting in

:49:51. > :49:58.the hard yards with a bit more foot speed. And it is giving him the

:49:59. > :50:02.initiative to take the lead. A wonderful slow-mo shot, showing

:50:03. > :50:11.exactly how tight he hits it at the net. So they change around. Can

:50:12. > :50:23.Ouseph call him back? We have seen the aberrations from

:50:24. > :50:30.Sugiarto. It is going to need some for it to turn. But Ouseph is doing

:50:31. > :50:34.everything he can. Absolutely. He is giving his utmost. He is

:50:35. > :50:36.lion-hearted, we know that. This is a tough man not just to stay with,

:50:37. > :50:56.but to contain. Both the men have been playing

:50:57. > :51:07.top-class international badminton for a decade now. But this is heady

:51:08. > :51:11.heights for both of them, even for Sugiarto, who has been as high as

:51:12. > :51:14.three in the world. He was a bronze medallist in the World Championships

:51:15. > :51:25.a couple of years ago. This is a huge match for him. Has he got what

:51:26. > :51:47.it takes to finish it? The opportunity was there for Ouseph.

:51:48. > :51:54.Well played. Looked as if he was off balance, but beautiful control to

:51:55. > :51:58.bring it down. Very much so. Considering he has been under so

:51:59. > :52:28.much physical pressure of late, that was wonderful from Ouseph.

:52:29. > :52:40.Just missed. He is going to challenge. Looked very close to the

:52:41. > :52:45.line. He hit the off smash really well, but I am going with slightly

:52:46. > :53:02.out here. Very close either way, that's for sure. A key point in this

:53:03. > :53:14.deciding game. Out it was. First challenge of the match. Or maybe

:53:15. > :53:27.second, actually. He is allowed another. Two in each game. Missing

:53:28. > :53:31.his chances, I'm afraid, Ouseph. It is a shame. He struck it

:53:32. > :53:33.beautifully, but just a half centimetre higher, and he would have

:53:34. > :54:00.found his mark. Really taking the initiative, the

:54:01. > :54:04.Brit. Still just two points adrift. He was taking the law into his own

:54:05. > :54:05.hands there. There was a lot of pop on that last smash. Brilliantly

:54:06. > :54:30.played from Ouseph. Now it is getting tight. The coaches

:54:31. > :55:02.were saying to Ouseph, keep it close and he may go.

:55:03. > :55:12.Brilliant, got onto that smash and powered it away. He is on top at the

:55:13. > :55:17.moment. He has missed a couple of shots, but he is doing mighty well.

:55:18. > :55:25.There is no longer the domination that Sugiarto had in the second game

:55:26. > :55:26.and for much of the first. There is a real chance for Ouseph here if he

:55:27. > :55:42.can keep this going. Terrific back-to-back smash put

:55:43. > :55:54.aways. That will boy his confidence. Sugiarto is not the force he was.

:55:55. > :56:10.Can he refind the mastery? On the line. It looks as if there is a

:56:11. > :56:18.challenge here. I think that is OK. Worth a challenge, though. In this

:56:19. > :56:22.critical period in the match, you can understand why he's going for

:56:23. > :56:33.it. He has such a relaxed demeanour, Rajiv Ouseph. So calm. But he is

:56:34. > :56:38.going to need to bring his best right now to come out of the right

:56:39. > :56:47.side of this. We have seen a couple of wonderful smash put aways. Taking

:56:48. > :56:52.a long time to get this review up. It is frustrating for the players,

:56:53. > :57:05.as they lose rhythm. Frustrating for the crowd. Just got the line, wow. A

:57:06. > :57:37.little bit lucky. But the coaches are right. It is on

:57:38. > :57:42.his racket now. It didn't seem as if it was going to be that way. Playing

:57:43. > :57:52.brilliantly now. Look how tight that was. It seemed as if that was going

:57:53. > :58:10.to rest on the top of the net. Nice idea, just caught it a little

:58:11. > :58:45.late. Credit to Sugiarto. That was a brilliantly played point.

:58:46. > :58:55.Comfortably wide. And the brilliance of Sugiarto is not holding sway any

:58:56. > :58:59.more. He has tried his utmost to rush Ouseph into error, but of

:59:00. > :59:03.course, he is being denied. Rajiv has played some really solid

:59:04. > :59:12.badminton, and he is yielding nothing cheap. Sugiarto looks a

:59:13. > :59:25.little uneasy at the moment. Ouseph, as ever, seems totally calm.

:59:26. > :59:38.It's in. Another challenge, and another important one. Challenges

:59:39. > :59:43.coming thick and fast now. Well, thick. Maybe not fast. It is tough

:59:44. > :59:50.to conclude whether that hit the edge or not. Very close. Brave to

:59:51. > :00:12.put your neck on the line. You're right, well done.

:00:13. > :00:19.Ouseph is edging tantalisingly close to the quarterfinals. Just needs a

:00:20. > :00:38.cool head now, and it looks like he's got it.

:00:39. > :00:44.Brilliant, we've been looking for that power on the smash for quite a

:00:45. > :00:52.while, and it does come in timely fashion at the back end of this

:00:53. > :00:54.game. Yes, right in at the right hip, he is two points away from the

:00:55. > :01:30.quarterfinal of the Olympic Games. Again, it is Ouseph who is taking

:01:31. > :01:31.the initiative, and here are five match points for the number 13 seed

:01:32. > :01:51.from Great Britain. Well, didn't he strike it well? Such

:01:52. > :01:55.a positive smash. It was only a couple of inches out! Still time,

:01:56. > :02:39.still four match points. Yes! What a way to finish it! Rajiv

:02:40. > :02:46.Ouseph from Hounslow makes it through to the quarterfinal of the

:02:47. > :02:54.Olympics. It has been a magical day for British badminton. Chris

:02:55. > :02:58.Langridge and Marcus Ellis through to the semifinals in the men's

:02:59. > :03:04.doubles, and now this fella, Rajiv Ouseph, who most people think has

:03:05. > :03:10.underperformed in his career. He hasn't today. It is a heady win for

:03:11. > :03:14.him, zero from five going into this one, but what a turnaround, so

:03:15. > :03:19.strong mentally and physically, just spiked up a little bit more power on

:03:20. > :03:26.that smash in timely fashion at the back end of that deciding game.

:03:27. > :03:30.Superb for British badminton. What a performance from Rajiv Ouseph,

:03:31. > :03:31.brilliant stuff, let's show you the draw for the men's singles

:03:32. > :03:47.quarterfinals. If you want to know more about Mr

:03:48. > :03:59.Axelsen, he is the current European champion. Let's find out what he

:04:00. > :04:06.thought of it. Rajiv, I know you are disappointed to go out in the group

:04:07. > :04:10.stages in London, how pleased you with your performance? I am

:04:11. > :04:15.ecstatic, to be honest, I didn't expect to win that game, I knew I

:04:16. > :04:21.was playing well, training well, just started working really hard,

:04:22. > :04:23.and it has really paid off. Have you changed a thing in the preparation

:04:24. > :04:29.to this Olympics that would have been different for London? I'm not

:04:30. > :04:33.sure, I think I just learned from my experience, it was high pressure,

:04:34. > :04:38.being a home Games, but being four years old has really helped me, and

:04:39. > :04:43.I have used that experience positively, I think, and long may it

:04:44. > :04:47.continue! Not an easy matchup next, the fourth seed, but at this point

:04:48. > :04:52.there are not going to be any easy matches. No, exactly, and he is a

:04:53. > :04:59.great player, he has been playing well. I be demonstrably long time

:05:00. > :05:06.ago, he is a quality player, I will give it my best. -- I beat him a

:05:07. > :05:10.long time ago. I know you have said on social media how pleased you are

:05:11. > :05:15.with the support, how much has it helped you? Even the Indonesian

:05:16. > :05:19.fans, the cheering really spurs you and, great atmosphere and here, it

:05:20. > :05:23.is like a party atmosphere, hopefully it continues to the next

:05:24. > :05:29.round. And what will you do before then? Chill out, I think the boys

:05:30. > :05:34.have got their what the final, I will support them, just prepare for

:05:35. > :05:40.the next game. A great win by Marcus and Chris, how much did that inspire

:05:41. > :05:44.you? Exactly, it is tough being two runs behind them, everyone thinks I

:05:45. > :05:49.am in the same round! They really spurred me on today, hopefully we

:05:50. > :05:52.can do that to each other. Congratulations, get some rest, see

:05:53. > :05:56.you soon. Just a reminder that the

:05:57. > :06:08.quarterfinal is Wednesday. We are dripping here, the water has finally

:06:09. > :06:13.broken through! Wednesday at 2:30. We will get Ore and a headlock...

:06:14. > :06:19.Hasn't stopped? Make sure that he shows you a bit of that on Wednesday

:06:20. > :06:23.on BBC Four. All of it, not a bit of it, the whole thing! Loads of you

:06:24. > :06:28.are getting in contact on social media, he is over that site now,

:06:29. > :06:32.telling us that you spotted Antony Worrall Thompson circuit training.

:06:33. > :06:38.He is trying to throw us off the scent by wearing a different top to

:06:39. > :06:42.normal. His usual green number, he has gone for a great number today.

:06:43. > :06:47.The sad news is, we try to have a chat with him, his name is Rafael,

:06:48. > :06:53.or he claims it is! And he doesn't speak a word of English. Which is

:06:54. > :06:57.really disappointing. He is off again, and the rain is really

:06:58. > :07:02.pelting down at Copacabana. Look at that, magnificent movement from

:07:03. > :07:06.Rafael on Copacabana Beach. I promised you we would try to have a

:07:07. > :07:12.word, but he is avoiding us, enjoying his training. We will bring

:07:13. > :07:16.you a bin man update later, I know a lot of you are interested in the

:07:17. > :07:24.nightly Bindra. The big news is they came early, but don't panic! -- Ben

:07:25. > :07:29.Trott. I was going to promise live be in action, but we recorded it

:07:30. > :07:31.earlier, we will show you with later!

:07:32. > :07:36.But let's catch up with the hockey, can I borrow that issue? Sorry, it

:07:37. > :07:43.is everywhere. We were showing you earlier on Team GB were taking an

:07:44. > :07:49.Spain, it was 3-0 up before we let the game go over to BBC One at that

:07:50. > :07:53.time, they were playing their quarterfinals, so for a place in the

:07:54. > :07:56.quarterfinals, taking on the Spanish side, so this is the rest of the

:07:57. > :08:19.action from that second half. A fantastic goal by Oliva, the

:08:20. > :08:24.number 23! Great Britain 3, Spain 1. She is the danger player, normally

:08:25. > :08:28.she plays the free player, like Laura Unsworth, but she beats Maddie

:08:29. > :08:34.Hinch on any opposed, she will be disappointed with that, no doubt

:08:35. > :08:35.about it. Possible lifeline for Spain, definitely disappointing from

:08:36. > :08:48.the GB perspective. Brilliant stuff from Team GB, six

:08:49. > :08:53.matches played so far at the Rio Olympics, they won all five in the

:08:54. > :08:57.pool stage, and now they have won the quarterfinal. This is what

:08:58. > :09:02.happens going forward. They will take on New Zealand in the

:09:03. > :09:09.semifinals. In the other quarterfinals, Germany beat the USA,

:09:10. > :09:13.New Zealand saw off Australia, and one more quarterfinal later on, we

:09:14. > :09:17.will show you that live in about 20 minutes, Netherlands taking on

:09:18. > :09:21.Argentina, and the Netherlands are the current Olympic champions.

:09:22. > :09:26.Reaction to that Team GB win, Katherine Downes spoke to the

:09:27. > :09:30.captain and Sophie Bray. Sophie Bray and Kate Richardson-Walsh, you must

:09:31. > :09:35.be very chuffed, 3-1, through to the semifinal. Relieved, Spain have had

:09:36. > :09:41.a brilliant tournament, we have played them I don't know how many

:09:42. > :09:46.times in the last year! We knew each other's game, it was just about who

:09:47. > :09:51.could capitalise. The old cliche, a game of two halves, you put them out

:09:52. > :09:56.of it in the first half, but you let them back in in the second. We like

:09:57. > :10:06.to give Danny Ings part-time in the stands! They are a good side, and

:10:07. > :10:10.they are... I am really proud of how the girls, how resilient we are, we

:10:11. > :10:16.stuck to the task and saw the game out. Sophie, your first Olympics,

:10:17. > :10:22.you had a belter of a match, you must be really enjoying it. Yeah, it

:10:23. > :10:28.is fantastic, to get to the semifinals, I can't wait to get out.

:10:29. > :10:31.Best of luck, back to New Zealand, you beat New Zealand for the bronze

:10:32. > :10:37.medal in London, that emotional bronze medal, and it is back with

:10:38. > :10:44.them, in the semifinals. What do think that is going to be like? It

:10:45. > :10:50.will be a tough game, any semifinal will be tough, so we know what New

:10:51. > :10:53.Zealand have, they are a fantastic counterattacking side, we just need

:10:54. > :10:59.to insert our game and dominate them from start to finish. It will be a

:11:00. > :11:03.great game. Potentially more at stake this time, can you feel the

:11:04. > :11:07.pressure ramping up? I don't think we'd feel pressure or expectation,

:11:08. > :11:13.we believe, just one game at a time, we are so focused we don't get too

:11:14. > :11:24.far ahead of ourselves. Thank you. And, best of luck.

:11:25. > :11:27.So on they go to take on New Zealand in the semifinals, that other

:11:28. > :11:32.quarterfinal is coming up next. I know it has just gone past midnight,

:11:33. > :11:37.it is 11 minutes past eight in Rio, and earlier today we were showing

:11:38. > :11:40.you some of the best action from the preliminaries of the springboard

:11:41. > :11:44.involving Jack Laugher, who won gold in the sink Rose springboard with

:11:45. > :11:49.Chris Meares, that seems like an awful long time ago now! And also

:11:50. > :11:54.Freddie Woodward was involved, here are their best dives.

:11:55. > :11:59.Now onto Freddie Woodward of the city of Sheffield and Great Britain,

:12:00. > :12:04.inward two and a half somersaults with pike, opening dive for Freddie.

:12:05. > :12:13.Fantastic dive from Freddie, really nice. Tom Owens at home, the City

:12:14. > :12:19.Sheffield, they will be glued to the TV, Freddie is doing a great job in

:12:20. > :12:22.training, let's hope he can continue. This opening dive is

:12:23. > :12:44.spot-on, vertical entry, hardly any splash. Freddie Woodward.

:12:45. > :12:56.Poll, tremendous dive from Jack! Yes, nine!, please, judges! This is

:12:57. > :13:06.bang on all the way through, unaffected by his first two dives.

:13:07. > :13:09.This is an absolute monster. Close to 90 points on this dive,

:13:10. > :13:15.excellent, the dive of the competition so far. Really good,

:13:16. > :13:19.Jack Laugher, getting into the groove now. 88.4, and he has got

:13:20. > :13:25.bigger dives to come in terms of tariff.

:13:26. > :13:33.Jack Laugher will do better tomorrow, we hope, 439 is all right,

:13:34. > :13:40.but he needs to do better than that tomorrow. Those are the top ten

:13:41. > :13:50.qualifiers, remember those points do not carry through. Agonising week,

:13:51. > :13:54.19th place, missing out by less than two points, Freddie Woodward of

:13:55. > :14:03.Great Britain. That will be 18 up to Zakharov. Plimmer so Jack Laugher

:14:04. > :14:13.has made it through, the semifinal and final takes place tomorrow. The

:14:14. > :14:18.final is at 10pm your time, so if you like to see more diving, we will

:14:19. > :14:25.try to bring you that tomorrow. I promised you an update on the bin

:14:26. > :14:29.men, we usually like to take it live, but they turned up earlier.

:14:30. > :14:37.But we captured it for you, here it is! Some pre-recorded Copacabana

:14:38. > :14:42.binmen, and we found out their names as well, giving as a wave. That is

:14:43. > :14:50.Pedro and Alejandro and Raphael and Donatello. Halfway towards the

:14:51. > :14:54.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Lovely lads, they come every night, always

:14:55. > :14:59.friendly, always doing a great job. And what they do not know is that

:15:00. > :15:01.they have become an important part of our coverage here on BBC Four, so

:15:02. > :15:10.there you go, the Rio Copacabinmen. cool head now, and it looks like

:15:11. > :15:21.he's got it. We have all manner of drips in our

:15:22. > :15:24.BBC Four kiosk! This is the first significant rainfall we have had and

:15:25. > :15:28.in all honesty, the roof is not holding up well. But we are

:15:29. > :15:33.surviving and we will get on with it because we are plenty more live

:15:34. > :15:37.sport to bring you. I reminded you about up three metre springboard

:15:38. > :15:40.final and semifinal. The at ten p.m., your time. Just to bring you

:15:41. > :15:45.up to date, we will bring you the fourth quarter final of the women's

:15:46. > :15:49.final shortly, the Netherlands versus Argentina, in 15 minutes'

:15:50. > :15:55.time. As we bring you up towards that, if you missed some of the

:15:56. > :15:59.action we saw yesterday on day nine of the Olympic Games, at one point

:16:00. > :16:04.in the afternoon there was a gold medal for Team GB every 42 minutes,

:16:05. > :16:08.which is staggering. And we were second in the medal table for a long

:16:09. > :16:12.time, behind the mighty USA and the of China. Andy Murray, the reigning

:16:13. > :16:17.champion from four years ago in London and the current champion,

:16:18. > :16:19.managed to do the business again in an epic final against Juan Martin

:16:20. > :16:31.del Potro of Argentina. COMMENTATOR: So here we go, best of

:16:32. > :16:35.five. 10,000 seater capacity, three quarters. There are a lot here, who

:16:36. > :16:44.have come here to watch Del Potro lose, it has to be said. Death by a

:16:45. > :16:50.thousand cuts, isn't it? The rhythm has gone from Murray. It is for-

:16:51. > :16:56.four. It is all a bit of a fight at the moment. He won what could have

:16:57. > :17:04.been a dangerous game. How quickly a match can change. And there is the

:17:05. > :17:13.set. 7-5. How brave was that of Murray? A huge pass, and Del Potro

:17:14. > :17:21.is back in this. Blow after blow, raining down on them. It is crushing

:17:22. > :17:29.power. Oh, yes, great skill. He has to take the second set, surely. So

:17:30. > :17:42.good. A huge shot from this huge man. Solid start to this third set

:17:43. > :17:46.from Murray. A rocket! No danger to the server so far in set number

:17:47. > :17:51.three. He has got what he wanted. Murray gets the break. Too much for

:17:52. > :17:57.some. Three set points for Andy Murray. Brilliant, Andy Murray is

:17:58. > :18:04.they set away from his second Olympic gold medal. -- a set away.

:18:05. > :18:10.Difficult to fathom, but it happened. Got the early break in the

:18:11. > :18:19.fourth set. Gorgeous, a mouthwatering shops to break back

:18:20. > :18:27.from Andy Murray. -- a mouthwatering shot. Del Potro gets three

:18:28. > :18:30.successive breaks. The torture is increasing on Del Potro. Murray

:18:31. > :18:38.moves in front and is fourth set for the third time. And out of nowhere,

:18:39. > :18:47.Del Potro breaks once more. What I lie Hart hears. -- when I am hard he

:18:48. > :18:54.is. I'll! Unreal. This is macho tennis. There is the break back. He

:18:55. > :19:02.is a game away from the gold medal. After four hours exactly, it is the

:19:03. > :19:06.gold medal point. Andy Murray is a double Olympic gold medallist. You

:19:07. > :19:13.have to feel for Del Potro. Could a man have given any more? It has been

:19:14. > :19:14.a fantastic evening. What an effort from Andy Murray that

:19:15. > :19:22.was. He has now returned to the UK, but

:19:23. > :19:27.again, double Olympic champion, the first man to win Olympic

:19:28. > :19:31.back-to-back tennis medals. Thank you for your texts and tweets. They

:19:32. > :19:35.have been flooding in ever since we showed you the bin man update. We

:19:36. > :19:40.have another one here which I wanted to read you. Alice says, hello, Dan,

:19:41. > :19:44.fancy popping round for a cheeky barbecue tomorrow night? Durham is

:19:45. > :19:51.quite close to Scarborough. We are not in Scarborough! People have also

:19:52. > :19:59.suggested Weston-Super-Mare and Whitby! And Grimsby. This is

:20:00. > :20:03.Copacabana. Can we show the big shot which are occasionally Copacabana? I

:20:04. > :20:07.know this doesn't prove it, but there it is. You can see it's

:20:08. > :20:11.reining. We are just at the bottom of that shot on the beautiful

:20:12. > :20:16.Copacabana Beach, which curves right the way round. We have another one

:20:17. > :20:21.from Camilla, who says, you are really taking this not missing a

:20:22. > :20:27.moment business to the extreme. Come on, Camilla, the real hashtag was

:20:28. > :20:31.Copacabinmen, you can get that right! Samantha says, I am still

:20:32. > :20:38.waiting for Antony Worrall Thompson to turn up. What do you mean? Where

:20:39. > :20:43.is he? He has gone! He's gone. You have got to be watching all the

:20:44. > :20:47.time. When he is here, we will show him to you, but he was here two

:20:48. > :20:53.minutes ago. You missed him. He has a restaurant business to run! John

:20:54. > :21:00.says, brilliant viewing from day one. From being used Antony Worrall

:21:01. > :21:04.Thompson, # Copacabanter. Thank you for that. John says, how have I only

:21:05. > :21:09.now discovered late-night BBC Four Olympics? Again, where have you

:21:10. > :21:13.been? We have been here since day one and we will continue to show you

:21:14. > :21:16.all the action. We have had some brilliant action. Let me show you

:21:17. > :21:20.this from the build-up to the hockey last night. This was probably one of

:21:21. > :21:24.the most dramatic finishes to any Olympics we have seen so far. We are

:21:25. > :21:27.doing the quarterfinals of the women's hockey tonight. Last night,

:21:28. > :21:31.it was the men's quarterfinals. We join it with two minutes left on the

:21:32. > :21:37.clock, and New Zealand lead Germany... He is back! Before we do

:21:38. > :21:48.that, Worrall Thompson is back. Just there. Raphael, hello! There he is.

:21:49. > :21:53.We've got him. Before the end of the Olympic 's, we are getting him on.

:21:54. > :21:57.Where were we? Hockey. I got distracted by an Antony Worrall

:21:58. > :21:59.Thompson lookalike. New Zealand were leading Germany 2-1, with two

:22:00. > :22:15.minutes left on the clock. COMMENTATOR: New Zealand have got

:22:16. > :22:23.the ball right in the German third. Nick Wilson is going to take it. New

:22:24. > :22:28.Zealand took too long and they are going to get a yellow card! For

:22:29. > :22:37.taking too long. Two of them! One has got a yellow. So Wilson goes

:22:38. > :22:43.off. Just the one card. A yellow for Nick Wilson. So New Zealand play the

:22:44. > :22:49.last minute of the half with ten players. The drama personified. Nine

:22:50. > :22:56.outfield players for New Zealand, in 11 outfield players for Germany. But

:22:57. > :23:04.the ball just wriggles away. So he will not come back on. He is for the

:23:05. > :23:07.entire minute and 15 that is left. This is pressure now. They have been

:23:08. > :23:16.withstanding pressure for the majority of the match, New Zealand.

:23:17. > :23:25.It was almost a danger ball there, but they have taken it quickly. He

:23:26. > :23:45.is saying corner, the other umpire is saying corner. Let's have a look.

:23:46. > :23:55.Lifted into the player. So, New Zealand have used their video

:23:56. > :24:01.referral. Here is a look at it again. It is lifted from the New

:24:02. > :24:06.Zealand stick. It is definitely a penalty corner. It comes from the

:24:07. > :24:19.New Zealand stick onto the body of the New Zealand. Waiting for the

:24:20. > :24:26.decision from Andy Mayor. There is no clear reason to change the

:24:27. > :24:33.decision. That is a penalty corner. If Germany have a penalty corner. To

:24:34. > :24:35.try and get themselves back into the match, to try and keep themselves in

:24:36. > :24:53.the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. This could be the last chance for

:24:54. > :24:59.Germany. Into the back of the net! Germany have saved themselves from

:25:00. > :25:08.2-0 down was that it is two goals from their captain. It sends the

:25:09. > :25:11.German fans into overdrive. New Zealand 40 seconds away from

:25:12. > :25:19.claiming a historic victory. The chance is still there, but it is

:25:20. > :25:30.going to be a lot harder. Do or die, and they are through. The ball goes

:25:31. > :25:34.as quick as lightning. This is what Germany can do. Look at the relief

:25:35. > :25:47.on the faces of the players. They have kept their Rio dream alive. The

:25:48. > :25:57.match gets back under way. Both goals came from penalty corners.

:25:58. > :26:07.Moritz Furste saved his team. No extra time. Stricter penalties. --

:26:08. > :26:11.straight to penalties. Now Germany are breaking out here. Only eight

:26:12. > :26:16.seconds to go, surely that is not enough time for them to get forward.

:26:17. > :26:20.Drilled in! With a second that the half left, Germany are in the

:26:21. > :26:28.semifinals in unbelievably dramatic fashion!

:26:29. > :26:34.DAN WALKER: that is truly incredible, isn't it? Well worth

:26:35. > :26:39.watching again. New Zealand in control. Just 40 seconds left on the

:26:40. > :26:44.clock, and they were still 2-1 up. The Germans equalised and then, with

:26:45. > :26:53.one second left on the match clock, they make it 3-2. Germany go on into

:26:54. > :26:57.the semifinals. Germany will take on Argentina in that semifinal at four

:26:58. > :27:02.o'clock tomorrow, your time in the UK. We will try and bring you a bit

:27:03. > :27:08.of that. You can see that the Kiwis were not happy. Devastated. You must

:27:09. > :27:12.be broken when you think, we are into the semifinals, we have a good

:27:13. > :27:17.chance of a medal. We have a great side. 40 seconds left, we can't

:27:18. > :27:22.lose, and they concede two goals in those 40 seconds. The Germans go

:27:23. > :27:27.through. The other semifinal in the men's draw sees Belgium take on the

:27:28. > :27:31.Netherlands at nine p.m.. Talking of the Netherlands, that is where we

:27:32. > :27:36.take you now for the fourth women's quarterfinal. I told you it was a

:27:37. > :27:40.bad night in Rio. You can see how all for the weather is. It is windy

:27:41. > :27:45.and raining. These are testing conditions for these hockey stars.

:27:46. > :27:50.We have the Netherlands, who are the reigning Olympic champions, taking

:27:51. > :27:51.on Argentina. After the anthems on a Seth Bennett and Aaron Murphy will

:27:52. > :28:29.talk you through this one. COMMENTATOR: Spine tingling stuff.

:28:30. > :28:38.The emotion, and how they belt out the anthem. But will this finally be

:28:39. > :28:43.the year for Argentina? So close before, but yet to ever get their

:28:44. > :28:48.hands on an Olympic gold medal. They may feel that this could be the gold

:28:49. > :28:53.medal game and should be the gold medal game. For them, it could prove

:28:54. > :29:00.to be just that. A huge hurdle to get over in the Netherlands, a side

:29:01. > :29:09.blessed with so much talent, a side that can take the game away from you

:29:10. > :29:15.in any area. But for Argentina, it will be about their front three.

:29:16. > :29:20.That will be the thing that Alison Hammond will have been most

:29:21. > :29:26.concerned about. Well, they won the gold real bad, but to be a champion,

:29:27. > :29:29.you have do not the champion. The Netherlands have two medals from

:29:30. > :29:43.Beijing and London. This is a formidable side. Coach Gabriel

:29:44. > :29:50.Minadeo played in the Seoul Olympics. The official is very

:29:51. > :29:55.experienced. She will be joined by the Belgian umpire. That is an

:29:56. > :30:01.umpire who has been fast tracked through. She has all the credentials

:30:02. > :30:07.to go to the top level. She has had a very good tournament so far. Still

:30:08. > :30:10.a good player, but here doing something different. Huge game, the

:30:11. > :30:23.Netherlands against Argentina. Carla Rebecchi gets the game under

:30:24. > :30:28.way, terrific atmosphere here in Deodoro at the Olympic hockey

:30:29. > :30:33.stadium, the worst conditions of the tournament so far, driving rain,

:30:34. > :30:40.gusty wind as well. These two teams have battled so many times in so

:30:41. > :30:46.many big games, and it will be a case of wondering who will adjust

:30:47. > :30:54.fastest. Van Male will put this one in, well controlled by Habif,

:30:55. > :31:00.eventually deflected out of the way. Jonker was lurking. And Argentina

:31:01. > :31:06.will get a chance to play out. When you talk about the conditions,

:31:07. > :31:10.blustery, wet, cooler than we have experienced that Deodoro Hockey

:31:11. > :31:14.Centre, and will substitutions and the use of the bench be something

:31:15. > :31:20.that will be a factor? Argentina have used hardly any subs, but the

:31:21. > :31:27.Netherlands have used 300 through five games, so the head coach is not

:31:28. > :31:33.afraid to use bench early and often. 40th meeting between these two,

:31:34. > :31:34.Argentina have won 11, 12 draws, 16 for the Netherlands. That was

:31:35. > :31:46.dangerously high. They are wrapped up to try to save

:31:47. > :31:51.themselves from the elements, but they are not going to be quiet,

:31:52. > :31:53.those Argentina fans, some of them making the 36 hour car ride from

:31:54. > :32:15.Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro. Free hit to the Netherlands. In the

:32:16. > :32:18.midfield area. An opportunity to try to turn with the ball, the

:32:19. > :32:31.challenges penalised, taken very quickly indeed. We are eventually

:32:32. > :32:39.going to see a green card here. The protests are absolutely dismissed by

:32:40. > :32:42.Habif. She will survey two minute suspension and the Netherlands will

:32:43. > :32:49.get their first opportunity to really attack in this game. The rain

:32:50. > :32:53.is absolutely pouring down here. You made a good point earlier, may be

:32:54. > :32:59.about Argentina not liking their round-robin play, as we look at

:33:00. > :33:02.Habif on the penalty chair, but sometimes it is better to have a

:33:03. > :33:07.weak games in the pool stages as opposed to when you come up against

:33:08. > :33:11.the Netherlands in a knockout game. Interesting to see if they can use

:33:12. > :33:16.some of that to knock off the defending two time champions. It is

:33:17. > :33:23.raining sideways right now! The playing surface for the moment is

:33:24. > :33:29.OK, no big dramas right now. The ball is brought forward by the

:33:30. > :33:40.Netherlands. They will try to bring this past the 23 metres line.

:33:41. > :33:49.The Netherlands considering making more changes here, as they do attack

:33:50. > :33:58.the circle, this is good play, neatly sent in and deflected over

:33:59. > :34:03.the top by Jonker. The coach rotating her troops already. It is

:34:04. > :34:09.that use of the substitutes bench that could be a factor, it is

:34:10. > :34:14.getting cool, it is very windy, left-to-right, so that is a factor

:34:15. > :34:15.for Argentina as this rain goes sideways, not dampening the spirits

:34:16. > :34:39.of the crowd at all. So skilful, she is isolated,

:34:40. > :34:43.Granatto, she battles away, eventually comes off Joe Ford.

:34:44. > :34:50.Incredible player, so good with the ball and the stick. Two goals

:34:51. > :34:56.already for her, and you see the running ability on the ball,

:34:57. > :35:00.attacking the Dutch defence. She will be swept up, but given away

:35:01. > :35:09.now, a real chance, what an opportunity, first goal of this game

:35:10. > :35:16.goes the way of the Netherlands! And the Netherlands have the lead here

:35:17. > :35:21.in the Olympic quarterfinals. A shade under four and a half minutes

:35:22. > :35:27.in, and the Netherlands find the net. Argentina have a chance to

:35:28. > :35:35.corral that loose ball, and Jonker capitalises, gets it to Welten, and

:35:36. > :35:40.Welten forces it through Succi. The second goal of the tournament for

:35:41. > :35:48.Welten gives the two time defending champions their opening tally that

:35:49. > :35:52.they so desperately wanted. And in these conditions, that is a point, I

:35:53. > :35:57.mean, as the game goes on in these conditions, it is going to be harder

:35:58. > :36:01.to see the ball, the pitch will get more waterlogged, passes will be

:36:02. > :36:05.slower, so that early goal is essential for the Netherlands the

:36:06. > :36:17.four conditions perhaps get even worse. Yeah, water beginning to pool

:36:18. > :36:29.around the pitch. -- before the conditions perhaps get even worse.

:36:30. > :36:37.Well, in the last six meetings between these two size, the team

:36:38. > :36:46.scoring first has won in five of them, so the Netherlands may take

:36:47. > :36:51.that. Van As lays the ball off, now the Netherlands will try to work

:36:52. > :36:57.this one around, they have time and space, no big pressure from

:36:58. > :37:02.Argentina right now. Paumen sends it forward, collected neatly in the

:37:03. > :37:12.midfield. There is Dirkse van den Heuvel, now Van As, great turn.

:37:13. > :37:21.Again, pushed forward with that, another decision which goes against

:37:22. > :37:28.Argentina. Naomi Van As will leave this one this time, though, and Van

:37:29. > :37:34.Geffen will move the ball forward. It is intercepted. Merino doing

:37:35. > :37:42.really well, options head of her. Then she is muscled off the ball, a

:37:43. > :37:55.shove in the back, penalised. Keetels was the aggressor. It is off

:37:56. > :38:01.the foot there of Bos. Now Merino sends it in low, it takes a big

:38:02. > :38:06.deflection, surely. Well, Argentina, it must have just been stick at the

:38:07. > :38:11.last second. We can have a look here at some aggressive play as Argentina

:38:12. > :38:19.look for the equaliser, you can see how wet it is, the Sabata coming off

:38:20. > :38:24.the pitch. But talk about big-game players, Welten has two Olympic gold

:38:25. > :38:30.medals in trophy cabinet, the former world Player of the Year in 2015,

:38:31. > :38:36.known as a big-game player, and a big-game goal from Welten to give

:38:37. > :38:43.the Netherlands a 1-0 lead in the driving wind and rain in Deodoro.

:38:44. > :38:49.Dirkse van den Heuvel, nice play by Van As, she takes possession back

:38:50. > :38:52.again. Very tall player, smooth across the surface. Elegant

:38:53. > :39:12.distribution as well. Intercepted. Good read of the play

:39:13. > :39:15.there by Habif. Nice spin from Merino, but the ball just holding up

:39:16. > :39:21.and then rolling away from her as she was turning. And it allows the

:39:22. > :39:25.Netherlands to come back in, and they can break with a bit more speed

:39:26. > :39:33.here, into the circle they go, good chance, the Argentine was in the

:39:34. > :39:43.way, Barrionuevo nearly put it into her own net. The driving cross

:39:44. > :39:47.required the defensive presence Barrionuevo to keep that out of

:39:48. > :39:50.harm's way for Argentina. It catches her foot, as she drives hard towards

:39:51. > :40:05.the line. Nine minutes gone, Netherlands

:40:06. > :40:16.Lemoine, Argentina 0. Welten's second goal of Rio 2016, a highlight

:40:17. > :40:22.reel goal, exactly what you would expect in this appearance. Look at

:40:23. > :40:28.the steps of the players as they try to sprint, losing their wedding,

:40:29. > :40:31.water spattering off page 1 at Deodoro Hockey Centre, and this is

:40:32. > :40:36.without a doubt the toughest conditions on either side of the

:40:37. > :40:43.men's or women's draw thus far in Rio. V did well to get that. The

:40:44. > :40:51.Netherlands able to force this one away. -- Albertarrio. And now they

:40:52. > :40:55.will build from the halfway line, just two victories through the group

:40:56. > :41:00.stage for Argentina, and they came in with such high expectations. This

:41:01. > :41:03.being a South American Olympics, they felt this would be the one

:41:04. > :41:08.where, all of a sudden, they would be able to get that first ever

:41:09. > :41:12.medal. It won't be easy, the Netherlands conceded just one goal

:41:13. > :41:17.in the pool stage, and when you are giving up just one goal in five

:41:18. > :41:21.games, you are a tough team to play, a confident group. Another big point

:41:22. > :41:24.for Argentina against the Netherlands is that the Netherlands

:41:25. > :41:32.have had 14 penalty corners against and they have yet to concede a

:41:33. > :41:35.penalty corner goal. When I say first medal, I mean first gold

:41:36. > :41:39.medal, just to clarify. They have been in the final before, they have

:41:40. > :41:42.got so close but never taken home the big one. Silver in London

:41:43. > :41:49.against this Netherlands team, they have a bit of history, so this is a

:41:50. > :41:54.classic quarterfinal. Ball stolen from Rebecchi, Van Male bringing the

:41:55. > :41:58.ball away one-handed, trying to use her range, takes it out of play, who

:41:59. > :42:04.wing span just a little too wide for the playing surface on this

:42:05. > :42:08.occasion. Julia Gomes restarts. Given it back by Barrionuevo, Julia

:42:09. > :42:29.Gomes builds this one. The passes easily cut out ahead of

:42:30. > :42:38.Albertarrio. Aguirre busy in midfield, finds Barrionuevo, two on

:42:39. > :42:47.one. Given a penalty corner, spotted by the South African umpire. Well,

:42:48. > :42:52.is it a penalty corner, that is the question, she pointed as if it was?

:42:53. > :42:59.I think she is having the conversation, she wanted to be a

:43:00. > :43:04.free hit, but magnificent skills by Albertarrio. Well, for the moment,

:43:05. > :43:07.it looked like Argentina would have a way back into the game, but with

:43:08. > :43:17.three minutes remaining in this first quarter, it is the dad should

:43:18. > :43:21.try to clear away. You can see the difficulty for Albertarrio, it is

:43:22. > :43:25.slippery, it is wet, there are similar skills that you might be

:43:26. > :43:32.able to employ on a clear day, but you might have to keep it simple

:43:33. > :43:40.here. It will make it difficult for defenders as well, trying to get

:43:41. > :43:52.them moving from side to side. Van As plays it forward, the defensive

:43:53. > :43:56.cover is strong but illegal. Van As will try to put this one into the

:43:57. > :44:07.circle, it is sent away, Argentina will get the free hit.

:44:08. > :44:15.Aerial ball, pretty dangerous stuff, and easy turnover of possession, the

:44:16. > :44:23.Netherlands take it quickly. A bit of defensive play by Habif, getting

:44:24. > :44:27.the stick right in a way of the ball before it crashed into her legs.

:44:28. > :44:32.Some essential defensive play, you do not want to go down 2-0 if you

:44:33. > :44:36.are Argentina, especially in these conditions. The Netherlands know

:44:37. > :44:48.that, they are working hard, trying to find an insurance mark-up. Long

:44:49. > :44:54.corner. -- Marco. The Netherlands want to take this, they will get

:44:55. > :45:05.another opportunity now. It is worked wide by the soggy stick of

:45:06. > :45:09.Paumen and out of play. That goal by Welten, especially at that time of

:45:10. > :45:13.the game, was huge, especially as the rain starts to come straight

:45:14. > :45:18.down with no sign of letting up. Her second goal, crucial for the

:45:19. > :45:19.Netherlands. And now they come through again, real danger for

:45:20. > :45:33.Argentina. They are saying they used the wrong

:45:34. > :45:47.side of the stick. This is going to be challenged. Holland looking for

:45:48. > :45:55.the penalty corner. Lisa Roach, the Australian video umpire. It is off

:45:56. > :46:03.the stick right there. It has got to come off the flat side of the stick.

:46:04. > :46:07.This is what is being protested by Van Male. Looks like they will keep

:46:08. > :46:11.the referral. It is the first penalty corner of this contest and

:46:12. > :46:16.it will be to the Netherlands. The fourth referral for the Netherlands

:46:17. > :46:20.in this tournament, and they have got three of them right. They only

:46:21. > :46:32.do it when they have do. It is the veteran leadership of the likes of

:46:33. > :46:40.Paumen. She is a huge threat, standing and waiting. She is an FIH

:46:41. > :46:45.Player of the Year as well from 2011 and 2012, two gold medals around her

:46:46. > :46:46.neck from previous Olympics, a vast wealth of experience for the

:46:47. > :47:05.captain. Another penalty corner. Are they

:47:06. > :47:18.going to lose a defender from the line here? 23 did leave the line

:47:19. > :47:23.early. If you are a Usain Bolt fan, in terms of sprinting, that is a

:47:24. > :47:27.false start and she will not contest this second penalty corner for the

:47:28. > :47:41.Netherlands. So much space for Paumen. She's the best the business.

:47:42. > :47:53.Paumen steps into this one, good save. It goes.

:47:54. > :48:08.With wet pitch, the ball can take all sorts of dives. But the

:48:09. > :48:18.goalie is showing some pedigree write-down. What a frenetic first 15

:48:19. > :48:22.minutes of this one. DAN WALKER: we shall be back at the

:48:23. > :48:26.hockey shortly. You saw how bad the weather is here. Let me show you

:48:27. > :48:31.Copacabana. These two gentlemen have just stopped by, Emmanuelle and

:48:32. > :48:41.Leonardo. Hi, guys! Emmanuelle has the rain cover on, Leonardo not

:48:42. > :48:48.quite. Enjoy the rest of your night. Two of the binmen earlier were

:48:49. > :48:51.called Donatello and Raphael. We are near the Teenage Mutant Ninja

:48:52. > :48:55.Turtles! We need to find a Michelangelo in Rio, and we are in

:48:56. > :48:59.Rio. Stop sending us tweets about the fact that we are in Britain and

:49:00. > :49:03.just pretending we are in Rio. We are BBC Four, serious broadcasters,

:49:04. > :49:11.and we are here to bring you the headlines from day ten of the

:49:12. > :49:14.Olympic Games. Gold for Charlotte Dujardin in the

:49:15. > :49:17.individual dressage today. She and Valegro, one of the most famous

:49:18. > :49:25.horses in the world, did the business and it meant so much.

:49:26. > :49:28.Silver for Mark Cavendish in the men's omnium tonight. Laura Trott

:49:29. > :49:36.still going strong in the women's version. But Cavendish get his

:49:37. > :49:40.Olympic medal with a silver. Sophie Hitchon picked up a bronze in

:49:41. > :49:45.the hammer. It was Hammer time for Sophie. Her last throw in the

:49:46. > :49:51.competition, broke her own British record. 74.54 metres to win bronze.

:49:52. > :49:55.And today it has been in the badminton. Marcus Ellis and Chris

:49:56. > :49:59.Langridge have been the -- beaten the eighth seeded Japanese pair to

:50:00. > :50:02.reach the semifinals of the badminton men's doubles. And Rajiv

:50:03. > :50:07.Ouseph managed to get into the last eight as well of the singles with a

:50:08. > :50:14.brilliant performance that we brought you live on BBC Four. Over

:50:15. > :50:19.on BBC One right now, in terrible conditions, they need one of

:50:20. > :50:23.Emanuel's rain macs! That is live athletics. We also have table tennis

:50:24. > :50:28.for you on the website and the Red Button. But we are going to continue

:50:29. > :50:32.with the hockey. Back to the Netherlands against Argentina, and

:50:33. > :50:40.back to our commentary team of Seth and Aaron.

:50:41. > :50:45.COMMENTATOR: Came off her knee. That will be an Argentina ball. It has

:50:46. > :50:48.been all Netherlands in the final third. We have not seen much of

:50:49. > :51:00.Argentina, just the one little chance. Here is Rebecchi.

:51:01. > :51:08.That will be a long corner. It is a bit better from Argentina. Yeah,

:51:09. > :51:12.they are not sitting back and letting the Netherlands have their

:51:13. > :51:16.way. They are trying to counter attack. That is important. In the

:51:17. > :51:36.first 15 minutes, they did not have much possession.

:51:37. > :51:49.Anywhere will do for the Netherlands as they send it down the field. Van

:51:50. > :51:52.Male chased her down a lost cause. An interesting moment for Succi. She

:51:53. > :52:00.realised she couldn't get her footing on that wet pitch. Big

:52:01. > :52:22.deflection. The rain definitely had an effect.

:52:23. > :52:25.Let's have a look. You saw Succi in that earlier sequence, trying to

:52:26. > :52:31.shepherd the ball away from harm's way, and nearly fell over. Both

:52:32. > :52:37.goalies will have to think about whether they want to Roman Josi Joe

:52:38. > :52:49.Schmidt 's. With that 1-0 scoreline, a trip or loss of footing could be

:52:50. > :52:53.terrible. When we talk about 3-D skills or the third dimension, it is

:52:54. > :52:58.when they get the ball in the air. There are now allowed to utilise

:52:59. > :53:02.that, one of the recent changes by the FIH. That allows the creative

:53:03. > :53:12.players to work in a completely different way. I saw Marino trying

:53:13. > :53:41.to exploit that earlier -- Delfina Merino.

:53:42. > :53:54.Massive collision. Time is going to be stopped here for the moment. All

:53:55. > :54:12.sorts going on. Both players appeared to be OK.

:54:13. > :54:16.Argentina will have to go backwards again. That was spotted by the

:54:17. > :54:34.umpire. The Netherlands may try and

:54:35. > :54:53.capitalise. Argentina get the get out of jail

:54:54. > :54:58.free card. The Argentina head coach's heart will be in his throat

:54:59. > :55:01.with goalkeeper Succi going for a wander. He still up and started

:55:02. > :55:07.yelling. I think the message was, stay put. But she tumbled again.

:55:08. > :55:13.Look at the pressure from the Netherlands. It is giving Argentina

:55:14. > :55:24.no way out. Habif turned in every direction and each one was a blind

:55:25. > :55:38.alley. This is an opportunity... It goes over the top.

:55:39. > :55:44.Look at the skill from Succi, turning the flat side of the stick

:55:45. > :55:57.over. She looked like she had the angle, but it is about three feet

:55:58. > :56:06.over the bar. Argentina come forward again. They finally have the penalty

:56:07. > :56:20.corner they want. Good linkup play from the two substitutes. The foot

:56:21. > :56:27.is off the right tone. Easy call for the Belgian umpire. First penalty

:56:28. > :56:40.corner for Argentina. Barrionuevo will be the danger. She will sit

:56:41. > :56:55.happily at the top. Habif will inject.

:56:56. > :57:04.There could be a Break the other way, but intercepted. As the whistle

:57:05. > :57:15.is blown, there is somebody down. And seemingly in an awful lot of

:57:16. > :57:23.pain. It might well become boy -- it might be Maria Campoy. Let's see

:57:24. > :57:38.this again. Did she get hit by the first shot? She might have. She's

:57:39. > :57:46.trying to get up and walk it off. She doesn't have many nights when

:57:47. > :57:52.she isn't busy. One of her biggest skills is when the chances come, she

:57:53. > :58:07.remains switched on. As a goalie, you have to be ready. You don't see

:58:08. > :58:15.this too often, a bit of sportsmanship. It is the Olympics,

:58:16. > :58:19.after all. Marvellous stuff between two teams that don't necessarily

:58:20. > :58:30.like each other after the last Olympic final. It will be another

:58:31. > :58:40.penalty corner. It is going to be another penalty corner. Van as may

:58:41. > :58:46.be in some trouble. You see the stick on stick. Intentionally

:58:47. > :58:51.breaking up the play. She knew she was never going to get the ball. It

:58:52. > :58:55.wasn't accidental in the eyes of the umpires. Second penalty corner.

:58:56. > :59:08.Didn't come off as smooth as they would have liked.

:59:09. > :59:31.Overall, I think she wouldn't mind 20%. It is not a terrible return.

:59:32. > :59:43.Naomi van as is impeded. A thankless job as that first

:59:44. > :00:09.runner. The Netherlands, having been on the

:00:10. > :00:14.back foot for the last couple of minutes, are trying to create

:00:15. > :00:19.something here. Argentina are just starting to find their mojo. It was

:00:20. > :00:33.missing, may be dampened by the rain in that first

:00:34. > :00:40.quarter. The surprise of the early goal. The Netherlands are much more

:00:41. > :00:44.active in the first 15 minutes. For Argentina, they have started to run

:00:45. > :00:54.at the Dutch defence, which is a good sign for their head coach.

:00:55. > :01:02.The ball slows, but not enough to give Albertario a chance to scamper

:01:03. > :01:07.after it. The pace has held exceedingly well in trying

:01:08. > :01:12.conditions. Magnificently. One thing, both the men's and women's

:01:13. > :01:24.team say how good the pitches have played. What a break this is.

:01:25. > :01:29.Stepping across, a penalty corner. Habif, a player down injured. It is

:01:30. > :01:35.Kitty van Male, she may have got one in the face. She reached to her

:01:36. > :01:45.mouth, you can see there. We will look at this. She is challenged by

:01:46. > :01:50.Habif. Off the stick of Habif, you can see the two coming up into the

:01:51. > :01:56.face. She appears to be OK, she will take solace in the fact they have a

:01:57. > :02:09.penalty corner out of that play. Caia van Maasakker and Bos. Naomi

:02:10. > :02:14.van As will inject. Bos, deflects wide, that was really close. A

:02:15. > :02:25.couple of the players thought that was going to lob in there. We saw

:02:26. > :02:32.the deflection. It is let fly by Bos, it deflected in front and here

:02:33. > :02:39.you see, they endured player, Kitty van Male, she is unhappy, she wanted

:02:40. > :02:46.a goal out of that, she took a stick to the mouth for that. The ball is

:02:47. > :02:49.down. Good play. This is a real opportunity. A second goal for the

:02:50. > :03:16.Netherlands! Tampon again. Her second goal --

:03:17. > :03:26.Succi. Taking an defenders, look at that move. She had no answer, it was

:03:27. > :03:34.touched in front. Magnificent strike, watch the hand eye

:03:35. > :03:41.coordination. It will be a goal for the Netherlands. They will

:03:42. > :03:46.celebrate. It is 2-0 off the magnificent play by Leurink.

:03:47. > :03:53.Definitely her a goal for now, her second one. She got flat-footed on

:03:54. > :04:05.that wet turf. Talk about perfection,

:04:06. > :04:12.Joyce Sombroek has only given up two goals. That will be the big thing.

:04:13. > :04:20.They have to find a way to get their attacking players into the game.

:04:21. > :04:26.Albertario is a little bit short, but Merino will take possession

:04:27. > :04:31.again, the short pass forces Argentina to scramble, they are

:04:32. > :04:37.off-kilter and not making the plays they would normally expect to.

:04:38. > :04:45.Leurink seems to have gotten under their skin. Magnificent, speed and

:04:46. > :04:51.precision on the ball by Leurink has them trailing by two. Too easy for

:04:52. > :05:05.the Netherlands to take that away. Those scamper in after that one

:05:06. > :05:22.again. -- goes scampering. Once again, the Netherlands will build

:05:23. > :05:25.this one. Paumen. Nice interception from Gomes Fantasia. In the

:05:26. > :05:32.midfield, the opportunity for Argentina to build this one.

:05:33. > :05:37.Albertario tries to hold it, it does not go the way of Argentina and once

:05:38. > :05:46.again, there are work, just not clean. Given the ball right back on

:05:47. > :05:52.the sideline, the past does not work out and that is not what you would

:05:53. > :05:57.expect from Argentina, especially at times, in their group, they looked

:05:58. > :06:08.sublime, they are giving the ball back to the Netherlands too easy.

:06:09. > :06:21.Nice in there. Just asking that little bit too much and it goes out

:06:22. > :06:26.of play. The rain has eased somewhat in the last three minutes but

:06:27. > :06:33.conditions remain a bit tricky for those players out there as Rebecchi

:06:34. > :06:43.sneaks down the line. Obstruction is given. And that is a green card

:06:44. > :06:57.given to 29-macro, she will sit suspended for the next couple of

:06:58. > :07:02.minutes -- Eva de Goede?. They have the chance to break with more speedy

:07:03. > :07:10.game. Uncompromising challenge by Gomez. The Netherlands are toying

:07:11. > :07:17.right now. They are toying with Argentina. Trying to break to the

:07:18. > :07:21.middle, great skill, this could be a big opportunity for the Netherlands.

:07:22. > :07:35.Having an amazing first half, taken away from her eventually. Welten

:07:36. > :07:42.Windsor back again. Eva de Goede will have two minutes on that

:07:43. > :07:46.penalty chair. Her second goal in the first quarter started things off

:07:47. > :07:54.and she could add to that total weather chances like that, running

:07:55. > :07:58.at the Argentinian defence. The Dutch are up for this, a place in

:07:59. > :08:04.the Olympic semi-finals, this is what they would say is their food

:08:05. > :08:09.and drink, the kind of place where they have made their names, made

:08:10. > :08:14.their living, made their country very proud at the last two Olympic

:08:15. > :08:22.Games. Can they do this for a third time? And to do that now, they would

:08:23. > :08:24.have to go through the whole tournament undefeated. Not

:08:25. > :08:34.impossible by any stretch of the imagination. She is getting a little

:08:35. > :08:40.bit of game time, she has found it difficult to get up to speed.

:08:41. > :08:53.Especially with Welten pressuring her and pushing forward. Also so

:08:54. > :09:01.time and space taken away by Welten. Strong running with the ball, zipped

:09:02. > :09:09.outdoor play. Ellen Hoog was chasing after it. Look at the marvellous

:09:10. > :09:15.dribbling skill of Ellen Hoog. Albertario is a very good player.

:09:16. > :09:19.Made to look flat-footed there. Netherlands, the winner of this

:09:20. > :09:25.gaming gets Germany and it will be interesting to see what Germany

:09:26. > :09:32.thinks of this start so far. Exactly what the Netherlands would have

:09:33. > :09:39.wanted. Argentina battle for the ball. The whistle blows for

:09:40. > :09:42.half-time and his side trail by two goals and the Netherlands have come

:09:43. > :09:51.out and played an exceptional game of hockey. We shall be back for the

:09:52. > :09:58.second half of that game. The Netherlands are leading Argentina

:09:59. > :10:03.2-0. The weather, as you can see, absolutely horrendous. It has been

:10:04. > :10:09.so bad that over on BBC One where there is meant to be BBC coverage of

:10:10. > :10:15.the athletics, they are making their way back onto the track, we think.

:10:16. > :10:20.It has been postponed, the weather is so bad. I am gripping onto my

:10:21. > :10:24.notes for dear life on Copacabana beach because it is rather grim down

:10:25. > :10:31.here as well. The rain we were showing you at the hockey has come

:10:32. > :10:36.to us as well. It is not backing up our argument that we are in Rio and

:10:37. > :10:44.not elsewhere. Thank you to those of you who continue to start those

:10:45. > :10:49.rumours that we are actually in Whitby, Anthony says, best play was

:10:50. > :10:54.finding the only Brazilian woman in Whitby and getting her to stage a

:10:55. > :11:01.hen party. Matthew Pinsent is not helping, he says did you get those

:11:02. > :11:06.crisps care of Mavis is a B in Whitby? Know. Thank you for that.

:11:07. > :11:11.Karen says, I drifted off to sleep and I missed the bin men, where were

:11:12. > :11:15.you? We might show you it later. Look at these guys, still going for

:11:16. > :11:23.it. That is proper Yorkshiremen their! Late night in Whitby and they

:11:24. > :11:35.are still rocking it in the beach -- on the beach! Will you please stop

:11:36. > :11:40.trying, the hash tags we have got going, are Copacabanter... He

:11:41. > :11:55.sprinted off earlier like Eric Liddell. Copacabanter is the

:11:56. > :12:09.hashtag. Also Copacabinmen. Stop trying to get Copacabognor trending!

:12:10. > :12:15.There were five gold medals on Sunday. Today, just one gold medal

:12:16. > :12:17.but a special one for Charlotte Dujardin van. This is her story of

:12:18. > :12:40.today on the Allegro. -- Valegro. Britain had never won dressage medal

:12:41. > :12:47.going into London 2012 but Charlotte Dujardin and her team-mates made

:12:48. > :12:53.history. She has done it. Charlotte Dujardin has iced the cake in style

:12:54. > :12:57.and Britain has got another gold medal! Charlotte became Britain's

:12:58. > :13:02.first Olympic champion in the individual dressage and won a second

:13:03. > :13:08.gold medal as part of the team event. Two equestrian gold medals in

:13:09. > :13:14.two days. Four years later, Spencer Wilton, Fiona Bigwood, Carl Hester

:13:15. > :13:18.and Charlotte Dujardin won team silver. All eyes have been on

:13:19. > :13:21.Charlotte to take the gold medal and retain her Olympic title in the

:13:22. > :13:26.individual event. Three British competitors were in the running,

:13:27. > :13:31.first up was Fiona Bigwood and they finished in 17th place, Carl Hester

:13:32. > :13:38.and briefly led the competition but went on to finish seventh. Up next,

:13:39. > :13:48.Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro. The great Valegro. Charlotte Dujardin,

:13:49. > :13:54.the reigning Olympic champions. Can they repeat their London triumph?

:13:55. > :14:05.Charlotte Dujardin, the great Valegro. Remind you that this is

:14:06. > :14:11.another Tom Hunt composition, specially designed for a Rio. He

:14:12. > :14:19.really has endeavoured to put the Carnival spirit in this music for

:14:20. > :14:21.the freestyle test for Charlotte. Here is the real test now, we are

:14:22. > :14:36.on. Looking steadily. Extended on the centre line, and

:14:37. > :17:03.straight into pirouette. They have been unbeaten in their

:17:04. > :17:45.last 17 outings. Are they going to make it 18 outings?

:17:46. > :17:52.It's a brand-new floor plan, remember. Prepared for this

:17:53. > :17:58.competition, prepared to try and retain that Olympic title.

:17:59. > :18:06.Coming towards the end. And at the moment, pretty incident free, dare I

:18:07. > :18:25.say? You're braver than me, I wasn't

:18:26. > :18:31.going to make any prediction, and like that this time. Again, that

:18:32. > :18:49.incredible extended trot. It looks magnificent, that correct.

:18:50. > :19:10.-- pirouette. APPLAUSE

:19:11. > :19:17.14 years old now, Valegro, they have been the stars of the sport

:19:18. > :19:30.worldwide now, since London 2012. Now, hold your breath. Hold your

:19:31. > :19:33.breath. 93.928! I had a tear in my eye in London when it all happened,

:19:34. > :19:42.and I've got another one now. I don't think there has been better

:19:43. > :19:45.dressage at an Olympic Games ever. Everywhere you are, stand up for

:19:46. > :19:51.this girl, Charlotte Dujardin with the great Valegro has done it.

:19:52. > :19:57.Lee McKenzie with the words there, and yet another Olympic gold

:19:58. > :20:02.Charlotte Dujardin, for herself and Team GB as well. We return to the

:20:03. > :20:09.hockey, it looks like the weather has cleared up a little bit. Still

:20:10. > :20:16.persistent rain here in Rio should did Junior wrote.

:20:17. > :20:31.COMMENTATOR: The attack right now. The ball goes into the circle, it is

:20:32. > :20:41.a free hit right outside the line. Marino will take. She thought that

:20:42. > :20:45.was inside the circle. Then felt it was a stick challenge. Stopped

:20:46. > :20:54.playing, frustrations of visible on the Argentinian layers' faces.

:20:55. > :20:58.Frustrations the tour. You have to stay on the ball down inside that 23

:20:59. > :21:03.metre attacking area, and not have words with the umpire. You shouldn't

:21:04. > :21:07.talk to the umpire this early in the game or any stage in the game unless

:21:08. > :21:15.you are the captain, and right there, frustration for the

:21:16. > :21:18.Argentinians. To refer tackle, gives the opportunity for Argentina, but

:21:19. > :21:24.they struggle to muscle the ball through the soggy outfield. But

:21:25. > :21:35.Argentina have a free hit, which they will take. Cavaliere, great

:21:36. > :21:58.skill. It is an opportunity to work this

:21:59. > :22:02.into the circle. Going into this game, Argentina had the best part of

:22:03. > :22:06.40 more penetrations into the circle, and that is all down to

:22:07. > :22:11.their style of play, the way they run with the ball. They want to have

:22:12. > :22:20.the ball on their stick more, and get their captain involved more.

:22:21. > :22:25.Working hard again, this is good play again, a penalty corner, and

:22:26. > :22:41.Merino got a stick in the air. There are asking, do they want to?

:22:42. > :22:53.She took every possible moment there to get clarification. She waited for

:22:54. > :23:01.the umpire to say, do you want this, as if she was saying, you are not

:23:02. > :23:09.going to get referral here. The first penalty corner, and it goes

:23:10. > :23:16.wide, they go straight to Rebecchi, who has had a slightly disappointing

:23:17. > :23:23.tournament so far in front of goal. 148 on penalty corners, now 149, and

:23:24. > :23:31.Rebecchi a very experienced player for Argentina. She has two goals in

:23:32. > :23:38.the tournament, looking for three. Habif, looking for Barrionuevo.

:23:39. > :23:43.Still the ball is there, and it is taken into the circle, but it comes

:23:44. > :23:47.off the leg of Merino, and the Netherlands get themselves a free

:23:48. > :23:55.hit. A couple of different looks on the third and fourth penalty

:23:56. > :24:05.corners. Barrionuevo swept aside. And some Joyce Sombroek, confidence

:24:06. > :24:24.is huge. Van Geffen, she is challenged

:24:25. > :24:28.quickly, ball out of play. The Netherlands, all of a sudden they

:24:29. > :24:35.are playing at a different tempo. They are 2-0 up, they can afford to

:24:36. > :24:39.do it. When they talk to the umpire, do they challenge? 30 seconds is

:24:40. > :24:47.killed right there, which could be crucial in the fourth quarter.

:24:48. > :24:56.The Netherlands will continue to push forward again. The pass was

:24:57. > :25:05.short, didn't quite reach her, and the reason it didn't quite reach is

:25:06. > :25:09.because it was stopped it legally. And now the Netherlands will go

:25:10. > :25:15.again. It is a good challenge, and this time, Argentina will get the

:25:16. > :25:22.chance to clear their lines. Alison Allen, she should be very happy with

:25:23. > :25:27.what her side have done so far. They have looked like gold medal winners,

:25:28. > :25:37.they have looked like a team who want to get through to the semifinal

:25:38. > :25:44.against Germany. Right now, Allen is trying to get further ahead to keep

:25:45. > :25:50.that dream alive. Here is Rebecchi, finally some space for her to work

:25:51. > :26:03.in. Rebecchi on the angle, couldn't quite find Granatto, and she does

:26:04. > :26:09.quite well, finds time and space right there, in behind, and for

:26:10. > :26:15.sure, just drifting right, just get the stick in on the right touch, and

:26:16. > :26:23.she can't get a touch. The Netherlands attack again. This

:26:24. > :26:48.is good, great running. off the foot of Rebecchi, and Welten

:26:49. > :26:57.plays it again, and the decision was that this is deliberate. That is all

:26:58. > :27:02.Welten. They are frustrating team Argentina. Look at the hands right

:27:03. > :27:06.here, flat side of the stick, and that is intentional, and it will be

:27:07. > :27:12.the third penalty corner, the right call made on the field. And the

:27:13. > :27:24.Netherlands looking for a fifth penalty corner goal of Rio 2016.

:27:25. > :27:31.Paumen to lead the Dutch. Paumen once scored a hat-trick against

:27:32. > :27:39.Argentina. Right now would settle for scoring this one, and they do

:27:40. > :27:48.get it! Kelly Jonker, right in front. She has been deadly from that

:27:49. > :27:55.range. And now surely they are building a lead that will see them

:27:56. > :28:02.into the middle rounds. 3-0 to the Netherlands. Fourth goal of the

:28:03. > :28:10.Olympic Games the Jonker, and you can see Belen Succi, the hit is off

:28:11. > :28:18.the foot right there, and it just sits so tantalisingly for Jonker.

:28:19. > :28:27.And that was a penalty corner that didn't go to plan. Rather than the

:28:28. > :28:33.drag flick, you saw the drive hit that shows the thinking of Paumen.

:28:34. > :28:39.But the wet pitch stays with it, doesn't panic, gets the ball back

:28:40. > :28:43.and creates a scoring chance. That is the experience, and the clinical

:28:44. > :28:48.play from the Netherlands, which is why they are the better team in this

:28:49. > :28:54.match right now, and why they are on course for a semifinal meeting with

:28:55. > :28:58.Germany. I think of Argentina now, if it is 2-0 going into the fourth

:28:59. > :29:04.quarter, you would feel like there is still a chance, but at 3-0, you

:29:05. > :29:07.have to start thinking about extreme measures, maybe pulling the goalie

:29:08. > :29:11.match earlier than you would have thought for a kicking back, exposing

:29:12. > :29:16.yourself the other way the counterattacks, something the

:29:17. > :29:19.Netherlands are so good at, so this is not a comfortable position for

:29:20. > :29:24.the Head Coach and his Argentinian charges. The Netherlands warned

:29:25. > :29:27.there about knocking the ball away. You might see a few cards being

:29:28. > :29:33.dished out here as this game wears on. The Netherlands so smart in how

:29:34. > :29:38.they will want to kill this game off, and they will use every trick

:29:39. > :29:42.in the book, they will push those rules, and they will see how far the

:29:43. > :29:49.umpires are willing to bend. At 3-0, you could do that, at 1-0, you

:29:50. > :29:55.potentially can't. The ball is centre forward, ruled it came off a

:29:56. > :29:59.stick. Strong challenge in there. But Argentina have it back again,

:30:00. > :30:07.but there is an orange forest that is putting an awful lot of treasure

:30:08. > :30:11.on. Albert REO, the pressure is brilliant from the Netherlands.

:30:12. > :30:15.Seven orange jerseys over the halfway line for the Netherlands,

:30:16. > :30:30.stifling any sort of break-out or counterattack by Argentina.

:30:31. > :30:47.Stop start move. Slowly but surely going forward, off to the races?

:30:48. > :30:51.Great challenge. For Argentina, then Rebecchi shows some strength in

:30:52. > :31:03.midfield. The ball runs off her stick. Von der Heyde, inch perfect,

:31:04. > :31:14.to get that wide. Tries to nip around the back. This is going to be

:31:15. > :31:28.a card here. A yellow card I think. Indeed. It will be a yellow card.

:31:29. > :31:36.Now she will be off for five minutes. This suspension will mean

:31:37. > :31:43.that at least 45 minutes, the Netherlands are down. Add great of

:31:44. > :31:48.running. She has had a wonderful game, Welten, both defensively and

:31:49. > :31:54.going forward. Albertario, careless with the ball. Giving the ball back

:31:55. > :32:25.to easily, Argentina and a green card to de Goede. They can go back

:32:26. > :32:34.to Celtic miss away. Sanchez. Puts this in with some speed. Penalty

:32:35. > :32:44.corner. Granatto was lurking, came off a Dutch body. Fifth chance on a

:32:45. > :32:47.penalty corner now for Argentina. Argentina five 427 in the

:32:48. > :33:06.tournament, looking for some success here. You would think that Noel

:33:07. > :33:22.Barrionuevo would be called. Sachsenring. She will inject. Noel

:33:23. > :33:25.Barrionuevo. It is deflected home. Huge moment in this game for

:33:26. > :33:37.Argentina. They have cut the deficit. And it is Habif. Noel

:33:38. > :33:44.Barrionuevo and look at the stake laid flat side up from Habif. Noel

:33:45. > :33:48.Barrionuevo with a drag flick, magnificent staff from 85 macro and

:33:49. > :33:56.it is a penalty corner goal for Argentina to get them back in the

:33:57. > :34:02.game. Her third goal of Rio 2016. Is that the start of the comeback, I

:34:03. > :34:13.wonder. It gives the fans something to cheer about. That five-minute

:34:14. > :34:23.suspension continues. Albertario. She is called back and that will be

:34:24. > :34:38.a free head to Argentina. It will be taken eventually. Gets it back.

:34:39. > :34:54.Spread to the left side. Naomi van As will leave this one. 3-1, 349

:34:55. > :34:58.remaining in the third quarter. Habif, a second penalty corner goal.

:34:59. > :35:04.They have to take advantage of penalty corners. Habif expertly

:35:05. > :35:08.deflecting the track flick for Noel Barrionuevo. Another goal here would

:35:09. > :35:16.make this very interesting, this place would absolutely erupt. You

:35:17. > :35:27.hear the Argentinian fans, they are bouncing. The stand on the far side

:35:28. > :35:32.would be rocking and creaking. Granatto gives it to Merino. It goes

:35:33. > :35:37.out to play but there was a chart on the sticks and it will be a free

:35:38. > :35:52.head that Merino can take. The challenge then. Van Maasakker. They

:35:53. > :35:57.go backwards again. Gomez centre with a bit more pace this time. He

:35:58. > :36:01.is not happy, you wonder that ball taking care of a bit better. He does

:36:02. > :36:08.not want to give the ball back so easily to the Netherlands, they gave

:36:09. > :36:12.the ball back to the Netherlands to easily in the driving wind and rain.

:36:13. > :36:18.In the second half, more aggressive runs and he does not want to give

:36:19. > :36:28.the ball back. They have a bit of momentum. Another card here. Yellow

:36:29. > :36:39.card to Naomi van As. Netherlands disciplines. This is a great chance

:36:40. > :36:46.now for Argentina, two players on the penalty bench, Naomi van As with

:36:47. > :37:01.a yellow card joining de Goede. Habif. Going to work the right-hand

:37:02. > :37:10.side, swept in. Bit of conversation here. Between the two, pushing in

:37:11. > :37:14.the back. A yellow card shown for pushing in the back. This is

:37:15. > :37:31.troubling stuff now. There is the push. Conversation here between the

:37:32. > :37:42.two umpires. With de Goede and Naomi van As already on the penalty chair,

:37:43. > :37:51.another yellow card. The Netherlands can clear away. It is busy down

:37:52. > :37:57.there. 11-8, three straight yellow cards and an advantage for

:37:58. > :38:02.Argentina. This is the advantage. They need a quick goal here and if

:38:03. > :38:08.they can make it happen, they have to use the space wisely. Now

:38:09. > :38:21.Granatto tried to play at. Did not quite manage it. Really good play,

:38:22. > :38:26.van Maasakker, brilliant defending. Trying to find the stick of Sanchez,

:38:27. > :38:33.she flooded with this three player advantage, you have to make the

:38:34. > :38:40.past. She is a touch player as well. One minute to go, 3-1, the

:38:41. > :38:47.Netherlands lead. The numerical advantage is with Argentina. A more

:38:48. > :38:51.good play a game by the Netherlands. Comes away with that, under great

:38:52. > :39:01.pressure. That will be a Netherlands ball that they will clear away. And

:39:02. > :39:06.this time, an infraction against the Netherlands, Argentina can move it

:39:07. > :39:12.quickly. 32 seconds remaining, Tibet inside the circle, goes behind. That

:39:13. > :39:17.will be straight off and Argentine steak and of the Netherlands get

:39:18. > :39:28.this ball moving, ten seconds to go, I would be very surprised -- stick.

:39:29. > :39:32.11 seconds to go. Takes it out of the air. That will do it. The

:39:33. > :39:43.Netherlands survive, they get one player back. The third goal could

:39:44. > :39:47.prove to be decisive in this, the Netherlands are leading Argentina

:39:48. > :39:56.after three quarters of this game, 15 minutes to go. We will be back

:39:57. > :40:03.for the final period of the hockey. We will see a benevolence can hold

:40:04. > :40:08.on. As you saw there, the weather is not brilliant -- the Netherlands.

:40:09. > :40:10.The rain was holding things up at the athletics and they had to

:40:11. > :40:23.abandon the session but they are back out and that is on BBC One.

:40:24. > :40:27.Here, it is time for our headlines. Charlotte Dujardin wins the gold in

:40:28. > :40:37.the individual dressage, she and Valegro did the business. There was

:40:38. > :40:42.a silver and a first Olympic medal for Mark Cavendish who could have

:40:43. > :40:47.been better, but he had a problem in the elimination race. Today, in the

:40:48. > :40:53.points race he came home with the silver medal. Also a bronze medal

:40:54. > :40:59.for Sophie Hitchon, her last throw of the competition and she broke her

:41:00. > :41:07.own British record. Nearly 75 metres was enough to guarantee her the

:41:08. > :41:12.bronze medal. And it has been a fantastic day in the badminton,

:41:13. > :41:18.Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis have beat the Japanese pair and they

:41:19. > :41:23.are into the doubles semi-finals. And Rajeev is through to the last

:41:24. > :41:34.eight of the men's singles after a quite staggering performance. Over

:41:35. > :41:37.on BBC One and the athletic Stadium, they are in the midst of the

:41:38. > :41:42.Jamaican National Anthem for perhaps the most recognisable face of these

:41:43. > :41:47.games, one of the most recognisable faces in sport, Usain Bolt, who

:41:48. > :41:52.picked up the 100 metre title yesterday, potentially still two

:41:53. > :41:58.further goals to come for him, he is the favourite in the relay and the

:41:59. > :42:02.200m. We will cover those over the next few nights. Here on BBC Four,

:42:03. > :42:07.we will be with you until two o'clock and we will go back for the

:42:08. > :42:29.final period of the hockey. Here are our commentators once again.

:42:30. > :42:45.Habif. Get it wide. It is wide to Aguirre. Stopping and checking. Noel

:42:46. > :42:53.Barrionuevo. Spreading wide. That is deflected out in front. Netherlands

:42:54. > :42:59.ball they will whack it down the field of play. They are happy to see

:43:00. > :43:07.the ball far away. These two will know they will not be too much

:43:08. > :43:13.longer in serving suspensions. Very rare that you see three yellow cards

:43:14. > :43:21.so quickly, all in succession. The Dutch are defending brilliantly. You

:43:22. > :43:28.have to give them real credit here. They are facing potentially the most

:43:29. > :43:33.dangerous attacking side in world hockey and so far, they have given

:43:34. > :43:39.absolutely nothing. Now it finally goes into the circle, a chance for

:43:40. > :43:49.Merino. Danger could still be there though. Barrionuevo. Into the

:43:50. > :43:57.circle, pace, it is hacked over the top. That will be a Netherlands wall

:43:58. > :44:01.and an easy out. It is a team that is so dangerous, even with three

:44:02. > :44:07.players on the penalty chair, the Netherlands looked in control, they

:44:08. > :44:17.defended well. Argentina and their head coach will look back at this

:44:18. > :44:32.potentially as a lost opportunity. Another pass, intercepted and put

:44:33. > :44:33.all the way down. Van As is back and there is only one sitting on the

:44:34. > :44:52.chair. Interesting that the Argentinian

:44:53. > :44:56.goalkeeper has come outside and scored, perhaps getting words from

:44:57. > :45:01.the coach as to whether or not they will think about a kicking back but

:45:02. > :45:05.she has wandered up a few times to talk and we have heard the

:45:06. > :45:12.communication from the bench. A strong challenge. It is a free hit

:45:13. > :45:15.to Argentina, really good work, spinning this way and that way. Now

:45:16. > :45:22.Argentina again. Time ticking down on their Rio

:45:23. > :45:38.experience. Argentina will get the chance again.

:45:39. > :45:43.Can they move it quickly enough? That would probably be the criticism

:45:44. > :45:47.of their performance, they haven't moved the ball quickly. Adjudged not

:45:48. > :46:03.to have come off a foot. And Paumen taking every second, so

:46:04. > :46:04.experienced. You can't blame her, that is just good game management by

:46:05. > :46:19.the captain. Argentina with the Rebecchi. Pam and

:46:20. > :46:25.brilliant, clears away. If you are going to win three gold medals in a

:46:26. > :46:30.row, Yoo Won-chul captain to lead from the front, and right now, the

:46:31. > :46:37.most important player on the pitch is Paumen. -- you want your captain

:46:38. > :46:42.to lead from the front. Here it goes again, it is kicked

:46:43. > :47:08.away by Joyce Sombroek. Argentina look aggressive here, and

:47:09. > :47:18.a chance goes begging. Quick play from Habif, her second book denied.

:47:19. > :47:30.Argentina again. Under ten minutes now for the Dutch to hang on for

:47:31. > :47:36.what would be a really good victory. Habif goes on her own, but will now

:47:37. > :47:51.get some help. Spread wide, just about held in at the line. Pushed

:47:52. > :47:55.away by Naomi van As, and then they try to sprint away. Once again, the

:47:56. > :48:04.Netherlands warned by the umpires, get a move on. I have enjoyed this

:48:05. > :48:08.game. It has been a really fascinating affair between two

:48:09. > :48:15.sides, Argentina couldn't handle the Netherlands in that first half. In

:48:16. > :48:22.the second, aided by some in discipline, they have caused more of

:48:23. > :48:27.a headache. It has been that start to the game that will be remembered

:48:28. > :48:31.for sure by Welten, it was driving rain and they took advantage of the

:48:32. > :48:36.pitch conditions to try to bury Argentina early. This could be a

:48:37. > :48:53.chance, though, but it is swept clear. Good defending from will mean

:48:54. > :49:08.Bos. A clenched fist from Merino. Look at that, trying to rally the

:49:09. > :49:15.troops. Get them going. Under eight minutes, they are trying to do the

:49:16. > :49:18.same thing. Full credit to the supporters, it was a nasty night to

:49:19. > :49:28.start, but they have stuck with it, willing Argentina back into this

:49:29. > :49:37.contest. Barrionuevo and Rebecchi at the top. It is Rebecchi, and score!

:49:38. > :49:40.Merino tips home, the difference is one, and now we have a Grand Slam

:49:41. > :49:48.finish here in the Olympic water finals. The Netherlands led

:49:49. > :49:53.comfortably, but Argentina, byte by byte, I'm now back in it, and need

:49:54. > :50:03.just one to maybe take this to a shoot out. Rebecchi with the drag

:50:04. > :50:09.flick, and it is Merino's second goal of the Olympics, and what does

:50:10. > :50:14.it mean to team Argentina? Look at the intensity. She was the one as

:50:15. > :50:17.they got the penalty corner who was pumping her fists, and now they will

:50:18. > :50:23.get the help from the stands as well. The Netherlands may be

:50:24. > :50:28.rocking. It needs someone to grab the game by the scruff of the neck,

:50:29. > :50:32.and Merino states with serious intention that Argentina are back,

:50:33. > :50:38.and plenty of time left on the clock, seven and a half minutes to

:50:39. > :50:44.go. The Netherlands maybe we'll answer this after a period of

:50:45. > :50:51.sustained pressure by finding it in themselves. They get themselves a

:50:52. > :51:06.free hit right now. Wanting to take it very quickly indeed. And now,

:51:07. > :51:13.they are back to 11 players. What a seven minutes we are in for. Which

:51:14. > :51:18.way will it go? Are the Dutch good enough to hang on? Are the

:51:19. > :51:25.Argentinians good enough to score another goal? The importance of that

:51:26. > :51:30.Merino goal, you can't look past it, because at 3-1, you are thinking, do

:51:31. > :51:35.you pull the goalie, what extreme measures do you take? But at 3-2 you

:51:36. > :51:47.are in the game, and all the momentum seems to be with Argentina.

:51:48. > :51:52.And one chance is all you need. Agustina Albertario wanted the

:51:53. > :51:58.penalty corner, she begs and pleads, and now would be the time. There is

:51:59. > :52:04.a chance Rebecchi, they don't it fast enough, this is danger. Great

:52:05. > :52:19.defending again, goodness gracious me. It was incredible there the

:52:20. > :52:26.reaction from Bos. The time wasting measures from the Netherlands nearly

:52:27. > :52:39.cost them. Now Rebecchi, and Paumen steps over. Rebecchi tenacious.

:52:40. > :52:53.Pushed in, but off the feet of De Fina Marino. Barrionuevo watching

:52:54. > :52:54.from the bench for the moment. They have gone for a more mobile

:52:55. > :53:17.backline. Asking Habif, Gomez. We can see this

:53:18. > :53:21.again. This is something the Netherlands did all throughout the

:53:22. > :53:27.first half, attacking, taking big hit at the net, trying to make

:53:28. > :53:42.offensive plays. Another opportunity, and this time it is

:53:43. > :53:50.Jonker. Just caught von der Heyde, I don't think she is bleeding. The

:53:51. > :53:53.result of this is a penalty corner. Oh, that stings, the ball coming up

:53:54. > :53:59.into your face very quickly like that. You can see the Welt on her

:54:00. > :54:07.forehead. She is lucky that isn't worse. That will be like a cartoon

:54:08. > :54:16.bumper. The goose egg on the forehead. Another penalty corner for

:54:17. > :54:22.the Netherlands. She is going to try, and what they save from Belen

:54:23. > :54:33.Succi! Netherlands with a chance to win it there, Belen Succi.

:54:34. > :54:40.Magnificent goal-tending. Battling the whole time, fighting for every

:54:41. > :54:49.inch of that 12 by seven net. A game saver there. Van den Heuvel had the

:54:50. > :54:53.best chance. Could that be the moment we talk about at the end of

:54:54. > :54:58.this game? It has been absolutely crucial.

:54:59. > :55:09.Now we see the change. The shirt comes on, Belen Succi goes off, and

:55:10. > :55:15.Vonda Hyder with the goose egg on her head will be the kicking back.

:55:16. > :55:20.You have just taken a ball to the forehead, and now you will be the

:55:21. > :55:25.kicking back! Belen Succi will leave, this was always a chance that

:55:26. > :55:29.Argentina would have to take the goalie out, and now it is a reality

:55:30. > :55:32.as they fight for their lives. I wonder if she has ever watched In

:55:33. > :55:46.The Line Of Fire. Paumen trying to make sure that

:55:47. > :55:55.every possible angle is covered defensively. Argentina may choose to

:55:56. > :56:01.go along, the Netherlands are putting pressure on. It is a goal!

:56:02. > :56:08.And that will do it. Netherlands could be on their way. This will go

:56:09. > :56:17.upstairs to the TV. Netherlands will celebrate, but Argentina, as we see

:56:18. > :56:23.this one again, was this outside the circle, I wonder? To me at that

:56:24. > :56:33.angle, it looks like it is, as Gomez tries to get it out, and there

:56:34. > :56:34.outside the circle, but it is up to Lisa Roach, the Australian video

:56:35. > :56:47.umpire. So, the ruling was that it was

:56:48. > :56:49.outside the circle, just. Crucially, Argentina keep their referral, which

:56:50. > :56:56.may come into play in this final three minutes.

:56:57. > :57:15.Bos gets in the way. Vonda Hadar signalling that she is the one who

:57:16. > :57:19.uses her feet in the circle. Now they will try to use their skills to

:57:20. > :57:23.get in, that is a dangerous highball, and it brings the

:57:24. > :57:30.Netherlands free hit with two minutes to go. To give Argentina

:57:31. > :57:34.credit, they have battled for every inch of the pitch here in the third

:57:35. > :57:40.and fourth quarters, and at one point it didn't look good at all,

:57:41. > :57:50.they were trailing 3-1, and that goal by Dell Fina Marino, it has set

:57:51. > :57:53.up a magnificent finish. Barrionuevo has just come the field

:57:54. > :57:56.of play. They need their power players out there, and she is

:57:57. > :58:06.exactly that, as the Netherlands have done a great job here. Green

:58:07. > :58:09.card for Habif. She carried on playing, she had recognised there

:58:10. > :58:16.had been a whistle. She isn't exactly trying to waste time, with

:58:17. > :58:20.her side trailing 3-2. Per second green card, and a bad moment, she

:58:21. > :58:26.has been magnificent for Argentina. She won't play again in this one.

:58:27. > :58:34.Argentina battling. How good is that? In the end, the instruction is

:58:35. > :58:40.given and Argentina wants to get this going quickly. Agustina

:58:41. > :58:48.Albertario will try to use her speed. There is van den Heuvel with

:58:49. > :58:56.her every step of the way. It takes a deflection up in the air.

:58:57. > :59:06.Free hit Argentina. There will be a chance here. One minute to go. Will

:59:07. > :59:16.Argentina be good enough to take it, though? Another free hit. Taken

:59:17. > :59:22.quickly again. They are going to have to go around the top. Loads in

:59:23. > :59:27.there. They are thinking about putting it in early, it will work

:59:28. > :59:33.its way into the circle, an opportunity to sweep away, and

:59:34. > :59:38.Vanden wave all goes down the field of play. The last 30 seconds of this

:59:39. > :59:44.game, Argentina on the verge of bowing out.

:59:45. > :59:53.Barrionuevo, have they got enough? It came off a stick, it has been

:59:54. > :00:01.ruled, free hit. And that should pretty much do it. Long clearance

:00:02. > :00:05.here. And it is going to be the defending champions who are going to

:00:06. > :00:11.go and play in the semifinals. It is the end of the road for Argentina,

:00:12. > :00:20.and just look at the reactions. The reactions of the Dutch players.

:00:21. > :00:24.STUDIO: So, the Netherlands go through, confirmation of those

:00:25. > :00:30.semifinals, Netherlands taking on Germany and Team GB will face New

:00:31. > :00:34.Zealand. We are reaching the end of our time here on BBC Four, thank you

:00:35. > :00:38.for your company this evening. Over on BBC One right now, athletics

:00:39. > :00:42.continues for the next few hours, so you can keep watching that alongside

:00:43. > :00:48.things like the men's 800 metres with David Rudisha and the women's

:00:49. > :00:52.400 metres with Allyson Felix will be in that. But away from Team GB

:00:53. > :01:00.today, as we always do, these are the stories you may have missed.

:01:01. > :01:06.This is our Rio Trio. In bronze, it is Quine of North Korea, who managed

:01:07. > :01:09.to do the business on the men's vault today in the gymnastics, he

:01:10. > :01:15.took the gold, brilliant performance on the vault. A pretty special time

:01:16. > :01:26.on the podium, as well, where he saluted his national anthem in

:01:27. > :01:34.Peckham. -- saluted. Lopez of Cuba, the Greco-Roman wrestler, celebrated

:01:35. > :01:40.with his coach like this. His third Olympic gold, he is in the 20 stone

:01:41. > :01:46.category, 130 kilos, he is a significant human, and he knows how

:01:47. > :02:02.to celebrate. And gold can only go to this fellow, David kept our cow

:02:03. > :02:05.of Kira, he finished sixth in the weightlifting but entertained the
