Day 11 BBC Four: 22.00-02.05 Olympics

about to dive. Bob Ballard and Leon Taylor take us through this one.

COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Helen. 12 divers, six rounds of dives. Jack

Laugher not in a position he wanted but he's in there. He almost missed

out, 2. 1 points he was away from not coming back this evening. Now

this dive worked particularly well for him this morning. What a good

thing it would be if he could get his campaign in the final under way

with a good forward two-and-a-half somersaults with two twists.

It is good from Jack. His synchronised partner Chris Mears is

cheering him on. He is right on the end of the diving board, good

height. But he is marginally short on vertical. I would like to see him

score nine son this. I think he is going to come away with eights.

86.70 is the marker from this morning. Eights will count towards

this goal. It was an OK start. 64 yesterday on that, so it is a

considerable improvement on where he was in the prelims. Now, this man

was the surprise packet. He nearly didn't make it because of an

appalling last dive in the semis. Morales has done exceptionally well

to get into this final. He is a little inconsistent in training. He

is either supersonic or stuck in reverse. This one is OK. He is only

going to get sevens, because he rolls through the water and

overrotates, his feet coming slightly apart. But of course, the

judges do not get the benefit of the replay. That is just for all of us

to enjoy. Not a great start for Morales. Now, here is a man who just

missed out on a medal in London four years ago. He came fourth in London,

eighth in Beijing. He will start with a lower tariff dive compared to

Jack. So experienced, but actually making

a huge error on his entry into the water. I am not sure what happened.

The aerial work is, as usual, really classy. Everything is good, and as

he reaches back, for some reason he throws up a load of splash. Like a

volcano. Too many Alka-Seltzers. The rest of the band so far is Jack

Laugher so far. Oliver Dingley got a bronze medal in the synchro.

Superb from Ollie. The judges are looking for a vertical entry, with

hardly any splash. And leading the did an excellent opening dive. Could

be a little tighter into his pike shape. He is fractionally short of

vertical. Apart from that, he is on the money. And if you are wondering

about his switch of allegiance, his grandmother is Irish. That allows

him to compete for Ireland, that first one since the Second World

War. And his marks OK. Here comes the Ukraine diver. Don't

get too close to the board. The judges will be keeping an eye on

that. If anything, he was a bit too far away. He obviously heard you in

the commentary position and thought, I need to move this dive away, so he

shoves his backside back too far. The danger is that you don't get

enough rotational speed to make the dive. So that was a mistake from

Kvasha, who has been here many times before. He came eighth in London,

but that is not going to help him. Know, a very unsteady start by some

of the main protagonists so far. Now, we see the first of the two

Americans. This is the man who was third in the synchro in 2012.

Ipsen was very consistent, apart from one died in his semifinal. He

was super consistent in the preliminaries. You can see how one

mistake, which is all he made, can cost you so many places. He started

with three simple dives and he got eights on all of them. I think this

is about the same from an execution point of view. Bob has already

explained how the judging works. The lines through don't count. In a

moment, you will see Cesar Castro of Brazil. Just moving the fulcrum, the

little wheel to adjust the tension and tax ability of the board. Well,

if anything, he is very neat and tidy, albeit low on degree of

difficulty compared to everyone else in this final. He is the grand old

age of 33, and of course is very young, but it is grandad age in

diving. He will not mind me saying, but he is in the Olympic final in

his home country, and what an occasion for the very experienced

Cesar Castro, at his fourth games. He will be happy with that opening

score. It puts him just below Oliver Dingley. At the moment, Langridge

and Bingley are one and two. Now from the oldest of the youngest.

Philippe Gagne turns 19 in October. He is a great prospect for Canadian

diving. Well, he was hot to trot in the prelims, and then he was a

little wishy-washy in the semifinal, but got it together in the end. Only

18 years old, nothing to lose, everything to gain. He is very

classy when he gets it right. He just fractionally overrotates. Apart

from that, very good. He slots into equal third place. I mentioned two

Americans. Next is the 22-year-old Mike Hixon of the USA.

He will open with their dive you see all the divers do. Hixon faltering

slightly on the exit of his dive. He looked consistent in the prelims and

semis, but there are a lot of time and also diving from last night all

the way through to this evening. The pool looks fantastic. So it is under

the spotlights. Just turning into a mini banana as he comes out. He will

get caned by the judges. Yes, he and his coach will not like it and the

judges definitely do not like it. That is the lowest mark we have seen

so far for Hixon. Now, a man who already has two world medals under

his belt. He has yet to get an Olympic one. Second in Barcelona in

2013. He is definitely the danger man,

with Zach flying out of the competition in dramatic fashion with

that plant. It is all on this man. When he is on, he is difficult to

handle. He was all over that like a spider monkey, spinning around and

nowhere to hide. That is high-scoring. How are we doing on

the Leon Taylor with the spider monkey bingo? Gentleman at the back?

Well done, sir. Onto the incredibly impressive Rommel Pacheco of Mexico.

I was about to start saying how wonderful his diving has been. He

has been rocking and rolling. And then right on cue, Bob mentions how

difficult it is to move a safe distance from the diving board.

Rommel try to take his head off on this dive and then lands flat on his

back because he stayed in the tuck shop for his own safety. Dangerous

diving, and Pacheco, who has been in a medal-winning position for dive

after dive, round after round, has just made it very difficult for

himself to make it back. Was I not right to highlight it, though? No,

just interesting that you highlight it and then he goes and shows you...

What I am talking about! You mentioned that Kuznetsov might be

the man to beat. He is a danger man. The smart money will be on this man,

Cao Yuan of China. The Chinese are below their best at the moment, but

not him. World class. I know him as a platform diver. He is only 21 and

hasn't done anything on springboard. His team-mate who didn't make it

through was a world champion. So this is wide open. A good opening

dive from Cao Yuan. China go into the lead by a few points, but it is

not a big lead. He did have a little falter in one of his dives this

morning, so he wasn't exemplary all the way through. In fact, he was

under 500 marks, which is unusual for the Chinese.

Onto Round 2. Jack Laugher, reversed three and a half somersaults for the

Britain. This morning, 47. Yesterday, 75. If he can get the

best of those marks, he is really rocking and rolling, as Lyon might

say. Still not sure about Jack's body

language. Reverse three-and-a-half for Jack

Laugher, joint second after round one. You can put the champagne on

ice. Do not open it yet. Make sure it's nice and chilled. Because Jack

Laugher has turned up to this final. I disagree his body language, he

always looks like that. He's cool, composed. This is what he needs to

do, he will get a handful of nines. If he gets over 90 poipts, he's

letting his competitors know that he's finally shaken off his success

in the synchro and he's into the jacuzzi. That's more like it.

Nestling in nicely. 91 nor Jack Laugher. That is a big mark. Over on

BBC One right now, you can see Becky James in the sprint final. You might

have to do a bit of channel hopping between the diving and the sprint

final. That's on BBC One. I like this guy's diving. Colombia

aren't a renowned diving nation by any stretch. But this young man, 21

years old, has been turning it on through the prelims, through the

semis. He's a little bit inconsistent.

There's lots that I like about his diving. Fractionally short as he

went in. Best result so far have been on the

one-metre board. No one metre in the Olympics.

There is in the World Championships. I'm a little disappointed. That is

an amazing dive but Jonny Howson can do this -- Patrick Housding can do

this in the pike position. This is a little bit safe. He can do this dive

piked and score eights from the judges. He's been having a bit a

tough time from a performance point of view. But that gamble paid off.

Two out of two for Oliver Dingley, yes. As David says. This is still a

Yorkshire-fest. They're smashing it. Two out of two for Laugher, two out

of two for Dingley. This is good, good divering. That's a big story,

over 80 points because of the 3. 4 degree of difficulty. Nice work.

Very nice work indeed. He'll be happy. His face may belie that. But

he's concentrating on what's to come.

We already had a restart because of somebody making noise earlier on

today. Much better than earlier. He opened up poorly in this final. By

his standards. He's on the end of the board. I thought he was over to

the side there, leaning sideways. Getting that dive down, a lowish

degree of difficulty at 3. 1, compared to some of the other dives

in his list and certainly some of the other dives in the other guys'

lists of dives. They must do forward, backward, inward, reverse

and twist and another one of their choice.

There's noisy people in the crowd tonight. They haven't got the diving

etiquette down pat yet. Test book diving, isn't it? -- text

book. Lowish degree of difficulty. If you're playing safe, you need to

absolutely drill your entry, vertical, splashless. Nines coming

Ipsen's way. It needs to be that good to keep up with the higher

degree of difficulty. Judges sometimes really push the envelope a

bit a mark up in the final. They haven't really done that with Ipsen.

This man, back in Athens, when Leon was getting his silver medal,

finished ninth in this event. Very nice. It's marvellous diving.

To see Cesar Castro finally get it together, after featuring in so many

finals in graun prays, World Cups -- Grand Prixes, world cups, here is

the place to do it. He's diving out of his skin in front of his home

crowd. They're loving him. He's loving. It the judges are liking

that too. Jack Laugher leading by 16 at the

moment. Just imagine nal overrotation there.

-- marginal. So impressed with this young man's diving. Pike shape, just

look at that. No space between his chest and thighs. That is perfect.

Just as I mention, a tad overrotating. Looking for the

vertical, splashless entry. There's the grimmace which says, just a

little overrotation. Not quite close enough for big marks. He's down the

bottom at the moment in terms of those who've gone so far.

The man would got a bronze medal in the one metre at the World

Championships last year. He's a really, really good twister.

He twists very, very quickly. He starts this dive off intending to do

a double out, one-and-a-half somersaults into the double twists.

He's like lightning through the double twist. Finishes off the dive

beautifully. He has a little bit of making up to do after only 60 points

on his round one dive. This is going to add 20 to that. So 80 points on

this 3. 4. Silver Medallist in the three metre synchro here behind

Laugher and Meares. Here's my tip to be there or there

abouts at the end. He's been so solid. Snvm

That's a cue for something to go wrong, isn't it? It's a bold

statement you've just made. I don't know whether I fully agree with you.

Sometimes, he's like super on it. Other dives, he looks like he's

standing at baggage claim and doesn't know what's going on. Today,

so far, he's been good in semis. Little bit inconsistent. So far in

this final he's brought his A game. He is a danger man. So you do agree

with me then? Well, danger man. He goes into second place above

Oliver Dingley. Pacheco's really shaken after his

opening round dive, coming in as almost top qualifier. Nearly took

his head out on the inward, narrowly missing the board and scalping

himself. Now he's faltering on his very easy dive, back two-and-a-half,

pike position. Scaffolding that was holding him up is starting to

wobble. I think we can write him off now. Yeah, it looks o that way.

I think his race is as good as run. He had very good prelims. Excellent

semifinal. But when it matters, that's now.

That's so much better, sensational from Yuan Cao. He made a pig's ear

of this in the semifinal. He is bang on the end on this dive. Up, up and

away, three-and-a-half twists, one-and-a-half somersaults, 3. 5

degree of difficulty and this is going to be a 90-pointer to go with

his 85 in the first round. This is our man to beat. In fact, he wasn't

really on the end on that, but he did a much better job. That

splashless entry hypnotises the judges. They give them nines, quite

right too. Case of catch me if you can, boys. I've got a lead.

Have you seen the crowd. They're doing samba dancing over there. It's

quite an atmosphere in here this evening. Pleased to see lots of

support for Brazil, Mexico, Germany and of course, Jack and Olly, their

families are here. They're not disappointing. They're not.

Yorkshire's best. You can't beat it. Right Jack, what did he do this

morning with this one, 81. 6. He could do with that this time around.

This is the dive that has worked well for him in the prelims and the

semis. Shhh... Just stating a fact.

This inward three-and-a-half has been good. That's the only problem

with being the first one up is you do have a bit of a wait.

The preparation is so important. You go through the same process each

time. Yes! Get in. Tremendous third-round

dive from Jack. This is exactly what we wanted. Easy like Sunday morning.

He has tons and tons of time. Coming out of the dive, splashless entry,

nines coming this young man's way. Jack is following Yuan Cao. They

agree. They like it very much. He did that dive time and time again in

practice today. I was watching. It he nailed it every single time. I

didn't want to say that before the dive. I watched him do that five or

six times, at least. Reverse three-and-a-half for

Morales.. He will be having lots of problems if he comes any closer to

the diving board. Oh, my word. There's been so many divers in this

contest coming incredibly close to the diving board. We can't blame it

on the weather conditions. That is shonkey technique. That is

dangerous, look at this. That anning sl even worse. That is not good --

that angle is even worse. That is not good. Judges should heavily

penalise this. They're supposed to give two marks for those dives. It

is judges' discretion. If it's dangerous they should be giving

maximum mark of two. That looked dangerous to me.

They have been instructed to give two marks if it looks dangerous, and

that did. This was a heck of a dive to do, two and a half somersaults,

two and a half twists. He is the only diver that chooses to do this.

He has helicopter fleet going on there. His feet are split, spinning

around. It's a little bit scrappy, but I think he has pulled it off

well enough for sevens. It is a huge dive. He has just about pulled it

off. That hurdle step worries me every time on that dive. He goes

into second place, but the lead between Hausding and Laugher is 31

points at this stage. This man is definitely exceeding our

expectations. Not his, I'm sure. It is another top-notch effort from

Ollie Dingley. Not quite as good as his second-round dive. He is a safe

distance from the diving board. Good shape, just doesn't keep all the

splashdown. He will get sevens for that. It is still good. Just losing

a bit of tension as he went through. One judge didn't like it, but

everyone else did. The marks with lines through don't count, so those

scores were good. Here is a man who is giving us licorice

all sorts today. You never know what you will get.

Well, whatever your favourite suite is, that is what this round throws

up for you. Kvasha, doing his most complicated dive. He sometimes makes

a dog 's dinner of it, but not today, not in this final. He moves

right to the corner of the border and then comes back to the centre.

Eights are coming his way. I like the ones with the pimples. Fair

enough! I prefer a more luxury suites. Get you, darling! Onto the

first of the two Americans. It is a good dive from Ibsen. --

Ipsen. He is a technician, and he just lets that marginally

overrotates. He had this huge smile during his

introduction, and it is back. It can be pretty exhausting, dive after

dive, the stress, the anxiety, the expectation. And what expectation on

this man's shoulders. He is carrying the whole country of Brazil at the

moment. That is his highest degree of

difficulty. He needs a huge take-off on this. In fact, he needs to be

like the Silver, his team-mate in the pole vault, going up, up under

way, giving himself enough time to come out of the dive. He is neat and

tidy. They like it. Good hair! If any of you don't know what Bob

Ballard looks like, he looks like that! Kind of Rod Stewart from the

1970s, that her. Wait till you see the hat of the American later.

Sounds like we are doing as got! Castro moves into fifth. Our current

leader is Jack Laugher. Philippe Gagne potentially showing

his inexperience. The Olympic Games are like jigsaw sometimes. You have

to get it together and sometimes you have to give it another go. That is

what will happen with this man. Youngest in the final. He is not on

his game here. Maybe he used up all his good dives to get here. A couple

of missing pieces to that jigsaw. But we will see more of him. It is

early days for him. There are maybe one or two more Olympics in his

repertoire. I thought Mike Hixon might be

pushing for top three, but he will have to do a few -- Herculean job to

get anywhere near that now. He does so well.

Just a little bit of splash being thrown up. But it is beautiful to

watch him do this dive. Like clockwork, up, twist, smoothly into

the water. If he was cleaner, with less splash, he would be getting

nines. The American will go up a few places off the back of that. Can

Kuznetsov do his most complicated dive? We will see this from Jack

Laugher later. 3.9 degrees of difficulty. Think of the marks he

can get if he nails this. It would be over 100 marks. It is pretty good

for him, but I have never seen him score over 100 marks. Has he gone

from contender to pretender with this dive? Is that going to keep him

in the mix? It is a huge degree of difficulty. If the judges came him

from being in the middle of the pool, which they have done

previously, he will go from contender to pretender. Has my money

gone, then? Evgeny Kuznetsov has let me down, big-time.

Many Mexicans have made their way here to support Rommel Pacheco.

Rommel has finally found his form, but I fear it is too late. Diving so

well in the earlier rounds. Sadly, floundering in his first two dives,

a bit like new mode and Dory. -- two and Dory. So Rommel has work to do.

Three to go after this. The only diver below him is Morales,

and there are plenty above him as we get to the last diver. This will

signify halfway through the final of the men's three metres springboard.

Our leader has not put a foot wrong so far, Cao Yuan of China. He is

superior. Wow! Wow, wow, wow. Whatever he was doing by rubbing his

eyebrows, it certainly worked, because this is bang on the money.

3.5 degrees of difficulty, and he is just so sharp into the water. He is

the man to beat, out in the lead. It was rammed to that let him down in

the semifinal. -- Round 2. So we are halfway in the men's three

metres springboard final. Jack Laugher, 81, 91 and 90 so far.

Forward during the half with three twists is

the biggest dive in his programme. I will reiterate again, as we get a

nice, wide shot of the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, passing over

whether water polo and synchronised swimming have been. This is Jack's

highest degree of difficulty. Let's do this. He hasn't yet done it to

the extent that he can. So this would be a very good dive. I want to

hear come on from Leon Taylor after this!

Oh, it's good. It is good. He got caught a bit on that. Such a big

dive, he is a bit stuck, so he has to re-Pike quite aggressively. He

doesn't quite straighten up and then overrotates ever so slightly. Look

at the muscle definition, being pulled every which way like he is in

a tumble dryer. I am not sure which way the judges will go with that. He

does a very good job considering the take-off. That is OK. They were not

sure either. Because it has such a high degree of difficulty, that does

bulk of the marks up. Still the best he has done with that dive, by the

way. Jack will do this dive in the next round. Oh, dear. Well, that is

our first surfboard moment here. Jumps up through the roof. You can

see how easy it is to make mistakes. Morales goes right up into the sky

like he is Batman, and then sadly doesn't know what to do with that

great take-off and ends up over rotating, landing almost flat on his

back, a little bit like a smack down that you would expect in wrestling.

Not a great time to do WWE E4 Morales. He will go off rather

disconsolately, because he has been good in the prelims and semis.

Well, very nice. Very nice indeed. Is that going to keep him in

contention? Such, such good technique. Correct distance from the

diving board. Mechanically and biomechanically sound as a pound.

Just not quite keeping all the splash down. If you get eights on a

3. 4 that's what you get. Just grabbed seven points back off Jack

Laugher. Still a big gap, though. 23 between Jack and Patrick

Hausding. Yes. Well done Olly. That's four out

of four. Look at the delight on his coach's face. Quite right too. I

take my hat off. I wasn't sure whether Olly would be overwhelmed in

this. I take my hat off to him, I should say. As I get funny looks as

usual from my co-commentator! Oliver Dingley rocking and rolling. I

wasn't looking at you at all. What are you talking about? You're making

stuff up now man. I've got head phones on, not a hat. You said it!

Bob has a top hat, and a pocket watch. Stop right there.

Oh, he's on it. Stunning dive. That's the first in a few of these

we will see in the remaining rounds. Kvasha opening dive let him down a

bit. But he is making moves. Samba moves in fact. Nice. Count the

somersaults, four-and-a-half of them. Beautiful vertical entry. This

is going to be a huge score. He likes it. I like it. And the judges

think this: They think very highly of it. The highest mark, second

highest mark we've had. Cao Yuan had a 94.

Well both these American divers know how to twist. Both of them electing

to do this dive. They make easy work of it. Well, so beautiful to watch.

When diving is done like this, it is so classy. So classy. Has someone

just flicked a switch and this event has gone into another realm on the

back of those last few dives. Might have left it a little too late to

come to the party. We'll see. Very nice. The reason he gets that

many points in Athens, they used to do the required dives and then the

optional dives. It can be misleading when we look back at the points

totals. But Cesar Castro is diving the best he's ever dived. This is

his first Olympic final. He is here and diving at his very, very best. I

was surprised to see him make it through the semifinals. The

Brazilian fans are delighted he is here. He is performing tricks for

them. Not been the night that Philippe

Gagne would have hoped for when he stepped on the board.

A little low to the water. Great balance. Good take-off. Just cuts in

a little bit too soon. Then doesn't quite have enough time to finish the

dive off. One of his better efforts in the final. It's a shame he didn't

have a three-and-a-half metre platform to go off. That would have

been ideal from that height. We've seen very good diving from

this man. Great take-off. Fantastic board work. Superb aerial work, just

marginally overrotating as he goes into the water. That will be costly

from a points point of view. Opening up his chest as he goes in. Throwing

up a bit of splash. The judges won't go above a seven, which is a shame.

He did all the hard work. It's like being stuck in a salad spinner, just

overrotating. Trying to get himself dry now.

We had a side bet earlier this man might get into the medals. I don't

think it will happen now. Oh, it's lovely. I don't know how

else to describe that. I wasn't expecting such a good dive. On this

one, he's been struggling all week on this. This is amazing. Only a few

of the divers electing to do this dive. It's so difficult. Jack

Laugher finishes on it. Wow. What a dive. Well, he's back in the running

again, off the back of that. He certainly will be. He's into the top

three. That's ninja-like diving. So precise. Remember, it is six rounds.

There's a lot of ebb and flow. Well, Pacheco is diving well again,

but first two rounds will have let him down. He has got a lot of work

to do. 45 and 58 on the first two. 86 on the third round that. One will

be up there, near 80 points. Well done. He will be poised if the

front runners start to faulter. But he has left himself a bit too much

to do. The other thing is, even though those marks are brilliant, he

hasn't moved a place. He's still 11th.

Despite that being a great dive and the one before it being impressive

too, he hasn't moved an inch. This man rock solid in first place.

Well, it's another tremendous dive. The only Chinese diver to make it

through to this point. His team-mate and world champion exited the

competition very, very early, which is a surprise to everyone. Cao Yuan

hijacking this competition now. He is slamming down some serious

scores. He's way out in front now. Just saying that it wasn't quite

right. Maybe slightly short, a grow. But only 8. 8. 5 short. Hasn't gone

down below 85 so far. Three in the 90s. That's why he has a sizeable

lead at the end of round four. Now this is a dive that has to work

for Jack. It has not done thus far. It's been his bogey dive in Rio. Not

normally his bogey dive. Did very well in the synchro the other day.

But individually, only 55 and 39 marks respectively from prelims to

semis. That's the back of Tom Daley's head.

He knows, as his coach knows, as you know and I know too, just important

this dive is. This could be the difference between a medal and not.

Yes! Outstanding. Again, just when he needed it. He digs to the bottom

of his toy box or whatever he needed to go to pick that one out. This is

superb stuff from Jack. Jumping Jack, look how high he goes, up into

the air, disappearing into the water. This is way over 90 points.

Jack is in the medals with a dive to go. Let's not get ahead of

ourselves, but my word, he's finally settled down after the prelims and

the semifinals. Look at those scores. Jumping jash flash is a gas,

gas, gas. It's all working for Jack. It's a better one for Morales. He's

been here and there this evening in the final. We look back at a montage

of his dives, you will see the range of brilliance all the way through to

things that aren't quite as good. He's only 21 years old. We're going

to see this young diver from Colombia a lot more over the years.

He is certainly knocking out some big degree of difficulty. Finds

himself a bit shipwrecked today though. Look forward to seeing him

at the worlds next year. Well, yes. My goodness, he was as

high as sugar loaf mountain there. His board timing is exceptional. He

goes up, up, up, up, way above the five metre, almost in line with the

7. 5 metre. That is impressive stuff from our German. This is as good as

Jack Laugher's if not marginally better. What a dive from Hausding.

Fourth previously in the Olympic Games. Safe as Hausding. We're

getting close to the three figures, will we see one in the competition?

That's as close as we have come. Oliver Dingley. He used to represent

England/Great Britain, now he's an Irish diver.

That's the first slight mistake we've seen from Oliver Dingley,

landed hanging ten, toes over the ebbed of the diving board -- end.

Just toes creeping over the end. He needed to perform a little bit of

jigery pokery to get that round, which he does, but not getting the

entry he needs to get more than sevens. A bit of splash being thrown

up. Still good diving from this young man. Great work.

He would have had to hope for a lot of people to faulter to get a middal

tonight, because his programme in terms of degree of difficulty,

doesn't match the upper echelon. That's the lowest mark he's got

tonight. Illya Kvasha is in third place. But

this is a low degree of difficulty, which will punish him a bit. The man

from Ukraine. Nothing to do with the man from Del Monte, the tinned

fruits! He opened up his chest of it as he extends for the water. That

will cost him. You can see the disappointment on his face. Wow, it

is costly. And on the American. He is in range

of the top three. A lot of noise there. But actually,

he nailed it. He made a real hodgepodge of this in the semifinal.

This was the only dive that he dropped. There was a shout, I'm not

sure why or who it was. But that was a big dive. I don't think he will

ask for a re-dive, because that is still very good. He is talking to

his coach about it. Doesn't look as though it will happen, but he did

ask. He is up into fourth. This fantastic war around the Maria Lenk

Aquatics Centre. It is an old facility that has been carted up a

bit. That is probably the first error he

has made this evening. The degree of difficulty is low on all of his

dives compared to the other athletes in this final. A bit of splash going

away from the diving board. This will probably be his lowest scoring

dive thus far. Now, Philippe Gagne. He has sadly

been under par compared to where he was in the prelims and semifinals.

He is just a bit off again. What a shame. He has been a delight to

watch. Some exquisite efforts in the prelims and the semifinal. But not

matching the form that got him here. Inexperience, maybe. Grimaces all

round for this young Canadian talent. He will be back, I'm sure. A

great experience for him, Olympic final at the age of 19. We have

seen this next dive performed pretty well and also pretty abysmally. So

where will Mike Hixon hitches trailer?

There was a lot of risk. He makes an error on his take-off, leans too far

forward. Only just get his feet on the end of the board. Does he get a

good arm swing? He does a good job of hanging on. A bit of a tumbleweed

moment from the crowd, especially from the American contingent. They

know that is costly. He would have had his eyes on a prize, a minor

medal at the least, with the way he has been diving. But he will have to

make do with the silver he got the other day from the Synchro, which is

still a good reward to take from Rio. We have seen the best and worst

of Evgeny Kuznetsov tonight. He has been a bit of a surprise

package for me this evening. You never know what to expect. That is

not one of his best efforts this evening, but he has found himself in

contention for the medals. He was in fourth place after the fourth round.

Where will he be after this? P stays precisely where he was.

Two more dives to go in the penultimate round before we can give

you the standings at the end of Round 5.

It is a good dive. A shame to see Rommel off the pace after he has

been in the top three in the prelims and semifinals. It has been a

merry-go-round. Back to the fairground for Pacheco.

He moves up a place into tent. -- into tenth place. Seven is here for

Cao Yuan, and he will leapfrog Jack Laugher again. Sevens or under, and

Jack Laugher will be in first place, with one round to go.

What a show we are seeing from this young man, only 21 years old. He

will still be in front after this dive. He will be up in the '80s. And

he has not been anywhere other than the mid-90s.

It is 6.7, so that is a 15 point advantage over Jack Laugher -- 86.7.

How does it look from a British perspective? There is Patrick

Hausding. He's into third. And Jack Laugher is in second. It looks like

it will be those three for the three medals. It does, they are a country

mile out. Those are our three medallists. Unless something

disastrous happens to the top three, the rest will be scrapping for

places outside the top three. A little way to go before Hausding is

in the position to dive. He has to make up 22 points on Jack Laugher.

Jack Laugher have a 3.6. This is his favourite dive. He chooses to do

this last. He has definitely found his gear this evening. One more to

go for Jack Laugher. What colour medal will it be? The World

Championship bronze medallist from last year in Kazan can go one place

better, potentially two places better, than he did in Russia last

year. But he has to finish what has been an exemplary programme.

Yes! That is an Olympic medal for Jack Laugher. He has put that out of

reach, I'm pretty sure Hausding can't catch him. This is good enough

by Laugher. A monumental effort out there today. He was all over the

place in the prelims and the semis, but that doesn't matter. We don't

care! He has come out this evening and he has delivered. He is the

mailman, he always delivers. That is two medals! He always has to wait

ages for his marks. That is the best he has done in three rounds on his

favourite dive. Patrick Hausding cannot catch him. The only person

who can beat him is Cao Yuan. Jack Laugher has at least a silver to add

to the gold in the Synchro a few days ago. What a competition that

has been. What a week this has been for Jack Laugher in Rio.

Sebastian Morales round it off in fine style. He has had a bit of an

unfortunate outing in this final. He has had a few dives that have gone

awry. This is a good one for him to finish. Got himself in a muddle on a

few of his dives, particularly his fourth-round dive, where he only

scored 34 points. This one will double that and a bit more. It is a

strong finish from the 21-year-old Colombian.

Hausding now looks to protect what he has, which is the place.

-- third place. It is an easy bronze. Too much to do to catch Jack

Laugher. Hausding has been consistent. First dive was a bit

off. He scored 98 points on his last dive. The house are going to go wild

when they see the scores. Hausding is a dead cert for the bronze. He

will be really cross with himself after his opening dive went awry.

Will he break 500? He will be quite close. He looks disconsolate,

considering he will get at least third place. What a great finish by

the German. Just left it to let after that poor 63 in the opening

round gave 18 points away to Jack Laugher from the off. Oliver Dingley

goes next for Ireland. It is a back two and a half somersaults with one

and a half twists. He has done himself and Ireland proud today.

Well ding-a-ling Dingley, amazing stuff from Olly. Amazing list of

dives. Who'd have thought he'd be in the final? Wow. Yorkshire-fest. What

a celebration. I bet they're all still up at home, cheering,

celebrating and toasting, as they should be. Crack open the champagne.

And have some nibbles while you're at it. Well done, Harrogate proud of

you, Ireland proud of you. You know what, he's going to probably be in

around the top six. That's fantastic. Only round five letting

him down a bit. That's a very, very, very good performance. Now Kvasha

will be thinking, well, I can't do anything really other than dive the

best I can. Bronze is out of reach. Silver is out of reach.

Oh, he's finished with a terrific final dive. I think it's too little

too late. He would have needed 107 points to cash Hausding. I think Bob

is right with his prediction. He will be just outside the medals. He

also will be disappointed with the mistakes he made earlier in the

programme. So he finishes, at the moment, in

third. That will be knocked down to fourth because Cao Yuan is still to

go at the end of the programme. He needs 74 to beat Jack Laugher. We're

only halfway through. Zblt sirens go off again. Oh, super

twisting. He did not use this in the semifinal. He saved this for the

final. What an absolute warrior. What a dive. He's left himself too

much to do to get into the medals. But that is a heck of a dive to

finish on. That's probably the best effort we've seen on that dive

today. What will he get on that? And will it make a difference to the

places for fifth and sixth? Let's see. We wait and we finally get the

answer. He actually knocks Illya Kvasha down a place with that.

They're separated by 0. 7 of a mark. Big crescendo of noise around the

Aquatic Centre for the last dive. It's not a particularly impressive

one in terms of tariff. But it will be impressive for this crowd, who

have been known to boo the judge it's they don't get what they like.

What a dive to finish on. It's not the most complicated dive we've

seen, but that was beautifully executed, so neat, so tidy. Fourth

Olympic Games, Cesar Castro delivers in front of a home crowd, with all

the expectation, he has performed to the very, very best of his ability.

That's all you can ask for. Ninth after round five. Look at his face.

Just taking it all in. Appearing and diving for your home crowd, bowing

to all callers. Loving it. They're loving him. His coach fully

appreciative of that. He'll be in the middle of the pack. Thanks to

the Brazilian people and those who have supported him. Jack is chatting

with Oliver Dingley about that medal.

Such an elegant, classy diver. We are going to see so much more from

this young Canadian. Very impressed with him, all the way through.

Didn't quite get it right this evening in the final, but he earned

his spot. Canada, who have lacked in quality for male divers for a number

of years, this is the new man on the block. Great work. A lot of

potential there. Came onto the scene at 15.

His first Olympics out of the way with a 425. Placing eight or nine at

the end. Mike Hixon threatened the likes of

Hausding and Laugher. But it wasn't to be in the end.

An underwhelming finish there from Hixon. He looked as though he might

be a contender. Watching him dive, of course, already Olympic Silver

Medallist in the three metre synchro. No individual medal for

Hixon today. Some excellent diving throughout the rounds. Not quite on

it in the final. So the final marks and the total mark for Hixon coming

up. Yeah not the greatest from him. He finishes below Castro who makes

up a place. This man might be in the shake up,

but it wasn't to be for Evgenii Kuznetsov. He could get himself into

the upper echelon of the 400s. Beautiful dive to finish on. He has

only got four of his six dives right, faltering on round three and

slightly on round five, which means he'll be outside the medals. It's

all about consistency. Every single I do counts. He needed an impossible

score to get into the medals. The Chinese diver still to come.

That's his highest mark. But he finishes some 17 points behind

Patrick Hausding. There are two more to go. The important one, of course,

at the very end. The best he can hope for now, with

eight-and-a-halves, he can get in the top seven. What a shame for him.

He's retired to spring board. He is a phenomenal spring board diver. We

saw that in the preliminaries and semifinals. He was making headway in

the field and then he turned up to the final and sadly, first two dives

were way off the running. He has not been able to catch up. That's a

great final dive. Too little too late. What a shame for Pacheco.

Seventh overall. 74 is the magic number for Cao Yuan. It's the dive

you've just seen. It is fraught with danger. It is a very difficult dive.

When it goes spectacularly wrong, it looks spectacularly bad. He did get

91 points on this in the semifinals. He needs 74 to overtake Jack

Laugher. Gold for China. Without a shadow of

a doubt. Brans for that man there, Hausding and silver for Jack

Laugher. Congratulations, because Cao Yuan did not look as though he

was going to give that away. He has outclassed everyone. This will be a

huge score. He will be 20-plus points clear, maybe even more than

that. 523 for Jack Laugher. 523. 85. What are the final marks for Cao

Yuan. 96. 90. He finishes on 5 #47. 47. . Not close in the end, 24

points. There are the gold and Silver Medallists. Congratulations

coming in from the Canadian coach. That is Chinese gold but Jack

Laugher has a silver to add to the gold he got in the synchro with

Chris Mears just a few days ago. Only two went over 5 hup 00. We --

500. What a competition that was and isn't it great that Jack Laugher

brought his A game to the final, well below par in the prelims. Very

much below par in the semifinals. When the final came round, every

mark, aside from round four, when he was slightly off, I do mean

slightly, everything else, from Jack Laugher and a final mark of 523. Are

we having another marriage proposal there? I don't know. Already one for

the Chinese. It's gold most definitely. There's Andy Banks in

the midst of it all. Well, that is fantastic. Three medals now for

Great Britain. Best return ever and Tom Daley's still to come. We have

the ladies to go in the ten metre. Prelims tomorrow and Tonia Couch and

Sarah Barrow going in that. One more thing to wrap up for you is

where Oliver Dingley finished up. Not in the top six, but a very good

performance by the former Englishman, now representing

Ireland, and of course from Harrogate. Oliver Dingley very good

dinningly, 442 in eighth place. STUDIO: Big thank you to Bob and

Leon there. What a performance from Jack Laugher, a gold and a silver at

these Games. Gold along with Chris Mears, his partner, in the synchro

spring board an a silver. As Bob was saying there, just squeezed into the

final. Qualified 12th and then produced the goods when it really

mattered. That is Team GB's 50th medal of these Games. We'll show you

the medal table and get more reaction from Jack Laugher,

hopefully his diving partner Chris Mears is there as well. Leon Taylor

is making his way to speak to Helen as well. We will bring you the

ceremony as well. On a crazy day, terrific Tuesday, tremendous

Tuesday, whatever you'd like to call it, it's been a marvellous day 11 at

these Gamesment Let's bring you up to

date, Jason Kenny has taken gold in the men's Kieran, the sixth gold,

and the bronze as well. Laura Trott, his fiance, a wonderful night for

her too. Gold in the Omnium, a dominant performance. Her fourth

gold of her career. More than any other British woman. They are the

golden couple. It didn't end there. Becky James silver in the women's

sprint. Kirsten Vogle won the gold. There was a bronze in the same event

for Katie Marchant. Every member of Team GB's track cycling team has won

at least one medal at these Games. and a half twists. He has done

himself and Ireland proud today. And the medals continue, because in

the sailing, there was a gold for Giles Scott. It was guaranteed

yesterday, confirmed today in the medal race. That as a fifth straight

Games on the trot that there has been gold in the Finn class in the

sailing. That was followed, you've guessed it, by another gold for

Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark. And we have just seen Jack Laugher take

silver in the three metre springboard. There were two bronzes

in the gymnastics, the final day of the gymnastics. Amy Tinkler took

bronze on the floor. Simone Biles of the USA won the gold. And Nile

Wilson, the first Briton to ever reach a final in the higher bar,

took the bronze as well. Let's show you the medal table.

Team GB were third in the medal table overall in London four years

ago, when they won 65 medals. They already have 16 more medals than

they had in Beijing eight years ago. Thank you so much for all the texts

and tweets you have been sending. I know Milik -- normally at this

point, we are talking about binmen and having fun, but we have medals

to talk about! Jack Laugher, smashing the diving, what a night to

be British, says Lee. Another says diving is my new favourite Olympic

sport. Another says, how is Laugher pronounced law? He can pronounce his

name however he likes if he is going to win medals! Keep those coming in.

On BBC Four, we do like the hashtag and a bit of Copacabanter. We are

going to get back to the diving as soon as we can to bring you Jack

Laugher's medal ceremony. We will also get information from Leon

Taylor, who is making his way down beside Helen Skelton. And hopefully,

his diving partner Chris Mears will also join us. What have we got

behind us? Antony Worrall Thompson has turned up, fans of BBC Four.

Normally at this time of the night, he is here. He has joined the

circuit training. Some people think it is definitely not him. I think we

need to get the real Worrall Thompson, if it is not him, to prove

that he is not in Rio. As soon as we get back to the diving, we will

bring you that. We are not just filling with a bit of Antony Worrall

Thompson! But I know how important the years to so many of our BBC Four

viewers. -- how important he is. Over the next few hours, we have

some boxing from Team GB, with two boxers going for medals. That is to

come later. They were fighting during the diving. We will show you

both their fights. We saw Joe Joyce a few days ago on BBC Four, being

brilliant. The other sport we need to tidy up for you is the beach

volleyball. Earlier, we saw Brazil's top seeds, the women, losing in

their semifinal. So they miss out on a chance for a gold or silver medal,

but we will show you the last few points in the deciding set of

Brazil's men, the top seeds taking on the Dutch. We left it at 1-1, the

Brazilians leading 7-6 in the deciding set. At some stage, we will

pick that up in that deciding set. As promised, let's get back to the

diving. All we know for sure is that Jack Laugher has his second medal of

the games, a silver in the individual three metre springboard

to after the gold he won with Chris Mears in the Synchro. We can go

poolside and join Helen Skelton, who I think is alongside a very happy

Leon Taylor! Smiles everywhere. Leon Taylor is always chatting away. He

is the most charming man in diving, although it was a charming

performance from you, Oliver Dingley. How was it? It was amazing.

My first Olympic final. I did it with Jack Laugher, who is from

Harrogate. It was like a family effort. And to be part of that in an

Olympic final, I had to do three consistent rounds. People were

dropping all over the place yesterday. The wind is really picked

up. Today as well, people were dropping. I stayed steady and got

through to the final. Fair play to your mental strength, because a lot

has been going on. Thank you. The Olympic champion, New Labour, I was

following him in the prelim. The world champion got knocked out as

well -- the Olympic champion, Zakharov. I have personally had the

time of my life. It is so scary standing on the diving board, but I

have had the time of my life. You only just managed to represent

Ireland, because you wanted to come to the Olympics, so you went for

Ireland three your grandparents? Through my grandmother, and I am

proud to represent Ireland. They have invested a lot in me. Back in

Dublin, there is a whole host of people who have supported me to get

here. You know what it is like. I am the lucky one who gets to stand on

the diving board. I am proud to be part of the Harrogate community as

well. I have been lucky to represent them and I hope I have done everyone

proud. Ollie Dingley, after that performance, everyone would say you

have. Congratulations. What a young man, very impressive. Yeah. Diving

is all about consistency. I have been going on about it all day and

saying Jack has not got it together, whereas Ollie has been solid, died

after died. Jack got it together when he needed to. He displayed the

consistency this evening. Ollie and Jack have come into this with

different expectations. Jack came into the Olympics a marked man

because of what he has done in the two years leading up to this. But

with the gold medal the other day, you said off-camera, he is either

going to be buzzing from this, or it is going to distract him. How

nervous were you after the prelims and semis? I would rather see him

wobble in the prelims. Who cares? The fact that he got in, only just

by the skin of his teeth, I might add, but he won a silver medal,

slugging it out with Chao Yuan, who out died him in the end. But if

you're going to get it together, do it in the Olympic final. This will

give Jack confidence going forward. Obviously, two medals are good for

your confidence, but he managed to claw it back. I will be interested

to hear what his journey was like. We are just guessing from where we

are in the commentary box. But he did get over his heebie-jeebies and

settled in nicely. I am so proud. That is three medals for British

diving. Gymnastics and diving, we are right up there. It has been

unbelievable. Do you think success breeds success? Will it have

knock-on effects? Of course, it builds momentum. You are thrilled

for your team-mates when they do well. The swimmers have had seven

quarters places, bless them. In diving, we have managed to get to

the medals. -- the swimmers got seven fourth places. In diving, we

are not done yet. But let's celebrate Jack's performance

tonight. He has been ace. Let's turn our attention to the medal ceremony,

because Jack Laugher is going to be up there again for Great Britain.

What a moment, and what a recovery by Jack Laugher. We didn't give him

a prayer of getting through at one stage in the semifinal, and he

qualified by 2.1 points. Those are the margins in diving. 2.1 the other

away, and we would not be talking about this. Jack Laugher follows Cao

Yuan and Patrick Hausding. Jack Laugher, with a thumbs up and a

completely different facial expression to the one I saw from him

eight hours ago. We talked up the semifinals and he said it was the

worst diving he had done in four years. Well, in six hours, he was

able to turn that totally on its head. The worst diving in four years

to some of his best diving for four years. 2012 was not a great time for

him in London. 2016 in Rio is the reverse. Didn't quite put pressure

on the Chinese, a big margin in the end of 24 points. But Jack Laugher

beat Patrick Hausding into third place by nearly 25 points. There

were 24 between one and two, and 25 between two and three, so the margin

was big. That is a selection of people who have done a lot for the

sport of diving. We are delighted to see Patrick Hausding up there,

because he has been the nearly man, fourth place in London four years

ago. But he has gone a step better for Germany this time. He will step

onto the podium to collect a hard earned bronze medal. What a superb

fifth round dive that was from the German, nearly hitting the hundred

mark, the highest score of any diver we got. He was just shy of 500,

beating Evgeny Kuznetsov into fourth place. Big margins between all of

the first four. A few days ago, he and Chris Mears were climbing aboard

the highest run for the gold in the three metre synchro. He has come

down a peg, but nonetheless, that is a terrific performance by Jack

Laugher, a brilliant display. Then he put a foot wrong and was

hypercritical. Grand four didn't go to plan. Lost a few points on that,

but there were three scores of 90 and above. That is a big-time

performer, ladies and gentlemen, someone who can step it up when he

is not in the best of form, and he wasn't in the prelims and certainly

wasn't in the semifinals. But when push came to shove, Jack Laugher did

his best. On the day, he was just not able to beat the hottest of hot

divers, a man who literally didn't put a foot wrong all the way

through. He had a wobble in the semi and a wobble in the prelim, but all

the way through, his lowest mark of the night was 85, and that was his

opening dive after that, he pretty much cascaded 90s across the board.

Cao Yuan, no degree of argument required here, was the best on show

in the three metre springboard final. But Jack Laugher picks up

Great Britain's third medal. A gold, a silver and now I bronze. Jack

Laugher with silver. Here comes the Chinese national anthem for Cao

Yuan. Chris Mears, how was that, I know

you and Jack like to do everything together. He was on his own tonight.

It was nail biting, especially with his shaky prelim and semi-. But he

entered the final in the first place, so he took the last place

available. He's gone and got silver, like, it was really close throughout

the competition with him and Cao Yuan, yeah, he went and sunkle

silver. I guess for you two, the last few days have been very

different. You became Britain's first diving Gold Medallists. You

were able to celebrate. But he was thinking about this. Have you done

separate things? No, there was an opportunity to have a celebration,

but I decided to save that until Jack was finished competing. We are

a team and I'm sharing a room with him. I didn't want to keep him up

late. I came to his training sessions and sat by his side and

tried to make him feel as comfortable as possible and he's got

a result. He said he missed you after the prelims and semi-s. Said

it was harder going up there by himself. Could you help him by being

on the side lines? Well, I'd like to think I'm a comfort blanket in some

ways, you know. He's my best bud. We're best mates. Supporting him was

much as I could do. Talking of support, I've got to wave to mum and

sister and PE teacher, no prizes for guessing who they're supporting,

red, white and blue from head to toe. Very proud family and rightly

so. Seems like you guys are all a close gang. Yeah, we knew from day

one going into Rio that Jack was a contender for medals, individually.

He's just proved today that a lot of hard work and determination has gone

into this. He's come out with a result. He's so good and done so

much off the circuit. Some people go, he wasn't on the radar before

this, that's only people who watch Olympic diving. He's done a heck of

a lot. How is his confidence? How was his head coming into this? He's

got the result, what can you say. He was nervous. I was nervous going

into the synchro. Us winning that medal, getting gold, really took the

pressure off his individual. Because he'd already got an amazing result

out of that. Even though he had a shaky prelim and semi, that was due

to weather conditions and stuff like that. He was nervous in the semi.

But he got in. He let loose in the final. That's what happens when you

let your confidence drive you. He certainly looked like a high

pressury bunny compared to the semis. I did say, if he gets 12

dives under his belt, then that's when I stopped getting nervous. We

saw from the Olympic champion and world champion weren't in the final.

The most important thing is safe carriage through. Once in the final,

can you win it. You can't win it from the prelim or semifinal.

Pacheco you know, he was rocking in the prelims, he's rocking in the

semi and two poor dives to open the final. He was nowhere. That's what

happens. You've got to do it in the final but you've got to get to the

final. Right, he's had 12 dives now, settle in, do it from number one,

start number one, and he delivered. You kept saying, he's turned up for

this. Even his body language looked different tonight. Yeah, it did. I'm

in the a body language expert, though I can sense when things are

going to go the right way. Opening dive, right on the end, up, up and

away, drilled his entry and he stayed with it. He didn't try too

hard. Got the level of excitement right. Didn't get overwhelmed. In

this place it's difficult not to get overwhelmed. Can you feel the

adrenaline, just breathing, keeping steady. He's coming now. Let's grab

him. What is he listening to on the massive head phones? I think he's a

big Drake listener. That gives him, makes him feel like liberated and

makes him feel like a baller that he's going to rock it up there.

Well, he did. Fair play to him. He can justify that now. Toer sure. Is

Jack Laugher ever going to make his way to us. He's not been able to

enjoy the celebrations, this is his time. Come on Jack. He's got himself

a Union flag. Mum, sister and PE teacher looking on proudly, as are

you three. What happens next then? Well, I guess... A party. Basking in

the glory of, obviously I haven't celebrated my vinette with Jack. I'd

like to do that very much and with the coaches and everyone that's

helped me get that and Jack. Obviously, Jack celebrating this as

well. Then back to the drawing board with seeing what we're doing for the

next couple of years. What about Ade your coach. He looked excited. This

seems to be his only celebration. Ouch. Ade has been amazing

throughout the prep going into this. He's been really on it. In my

competition he coaches me and Edwin coaches Jack, the amazing

performance coach from Leeds. Yeah, you could see it in his eyes. He was

in the zone. He knew what to say to Jack to get him if the right place

for that final. Fair play to him. There it's a high pressure yay camp

in Leeds. Yeah, it's -- happy camp in Leeds. Yeah, we were saying that

between our lads in the apartment we have every colour of medal, from Tom

and Dan with their bronze and then Jack's silver today and me and Jack

getting gold. We have every colour, pretty cool. So much so celebrate in

British diving. Best performance ever. Think about the guys who so

nearly made it, Freddie. I know. Look, Grace as well. First finalists

since 1972. Tonia and Sarah tomorrow and Tom to go. There's more diving

enjoy. We're not done yet. There's still performances to come from Team

GB. Let's claim Iona as well. He's a pleasure to work with. His head is

totally in the right place. Can you see when he's up there, he's

confident. All of his dives 8. 5, 9 even, he proved that in February in

Rio where he got a medal at words, an amazing feat that no-one can take

away. He dropped a few dives in the semi, but if he hits them, next time

round he's in the final. Brilliant to see you guys cheering Team GB in

these colours and he jumps up in his yellow T-shirt, why is the Jamaican

diver cheering for Jack, but it is because he's from Leeds. Right Jack,

where are you. Do you miss him? Yeah, I miss him today. I haven't

seen him very much. I saw him after the semi and actually, he was a lot

better than I thought he was going to be. I thought he was going to be

throwing a tantrum. Does he do that? He does it sometimes. Only when he's

really frustrated at something. He came in and you know, we kind of

patted him on the back. You know what, I'm going to go for a snooze

and come back refreshed. He came back in a completely different mind

set. He came down to the pool, turned up to this event. That's

pretty good. Here he is. Yeah boy! So proud of you, man.

Jack, congratulations. What a week. A Gold Medal and a Silver Medal. How

has your Olympic experience been? Mixed. Gold with Chris was

fantastic. We knew we could do it and we did. It was brilliant. As

everyone knows my prelim was nervy, whatever. Then semifinal today was

even worse. My personal worse for four years actually. It was hard for

me to turn it around. Come away with a Silver Medal and did a really good

performance, so pleased. Fair to say, this time last night you

weren't a happy bunny. You have put in a stellar performance. What did

you do to change your mind set? It was about the nerves of qualifying

really. Once I was in the final, it was just about me. I've got nothing

to lose then. Dive by dive, go in, sticking to the routine. I end up

with a fantastic score. In the qualifying rounds, there's so many

nerves. The weather was awful. I've come away just, you know,

overwhelmed in entirely. Thank you. Huge congratulations. You said

yesterday, I don't like going up there by myself. I miss Chris. It's

a completely different ball game. How useful was it having him on the

side lines? Very useful. He's my biggest supporter. As a team it's

easy because I have someone to talk to, laugh with. It makes it simple

to get distracted from the competition so you don't focus

entirely on what it is. Individually it's very hard. To have him on the

side lines, cheering with the team and my family is fantastic. Chris is

your biggest supporter, but the head of the Jack Laugher fan club, your

mum and PE teacher are having a whale of a time. Freddie dad's

there. Loads of people. She loves me. I guess that's good. What about

poor dad. He's at home. Yeah, he looked after the dog. We have a

two-year-old dog. Dad makes me nervous when I compete. I make him

nervous as well. I don't think he would have been able to deal with

the semifinal from earlier. For me, it was the right decision for him to

stay at home. He's been holding the fort, doing interviews. He's been

stupid, feeding treats to the dog on BBC, very funny. I love him very

much. But good that he wasn't here. You may have pulled out your hair by

now, but it was worth it. I found that funny. I no ethat he's back

home cheering. We're all so proud of you. Everybody associated with

British diving is proud of you. You did it the hard way. You left us all

thinking, will he, won't he. I said from the beginning, if he gets six

dives in prelims, makes it through. Six dives in the semifinal and in

the final, you can win it. You're on the podium. A long overdue party for

the pair of you, but you've got team-mates still diving. Maybe do it

out of the village. Yeah, of course. We're celebrating. It's been a

really long season so far. A fantastic performance to finish off

my season. I'm really pleased. Go on, hug it out. Jack Laugher

congratulations. A gold and a silver. Well done. Thank you.

STUDIO: Brilliant stuff. Well done for Helen there for holding for 15

minutes while we were waiting for Jack Laugher to turn up. He was

enjoying hillself, doing the rounds. He was celebrating, showing his

medal off to people, waving to his family and grabbing a Union flag as

well. What an achievement. He is now as so many people are saying, silver

in the diving, congratulations Jack Laugher. Britain's most successful

diver. Far and away Great Britain's most successful diver says Alex.

Jack Laugher is quality, a gold followed by individual silver. So

many people enjoying it. Get in there ises Charlotte. Jack Laugher,

don't care how you pronounce your name, you're brilliant. Sarah Louise

says, I had to go to bed, I am waking up to tweet. I will watch in

the morning. But I know what the result is. That is Team GB's 50th

medal of the Games, which is staggering. We were saying earlier

at this point in Beijing, they had won 34 medals. They're 16 ahead of

where they were at this point in Beijing and ahead of where they were

in London four years ago. The thing I love about BBC Four, you're

excited about the cycling tonight, yes, you're excited about what's

happening in the diving tonight, but you're very excited about Anthony

wore Thompson being back on the beach -- Worral Thompson being back

on the beach. There he is. He trains virtually every single night.

There's only one night that he hasn't been doing the business.

First week, he was green muscle vest. This week, he's gone for the

grey marl as someone described yesterday. Full sleeved number as

well. He's really, there, he's off! Talking bins later as well. I know

you eneye that. Lots of people saying where's the bins tonight. We

were talking about the fact that we do our copacabinmen. About midnight

your time, they normally collect the bins. They were early this evening.

We'll show you that footage as we continue to watch a man would looks

like Anthony Woral Thompson on the beach. This is the sort of quality

that we can bring you on BBC Four; a slightly out of shape man running

backwards on Copacabana beach. There you go.

From the Silver Medal to that. So, thank you for all those texts and

tweets. Brilliant ones on the binman and also, the other thing I forgot

to mention is that loads of people apparently the last time we were in

vision, we were showing you the circuit training in background, did

someone have a wee in the background in the sea on BBC Four. Honestly,

I've had about 50 tweets from people saying, "Is it true someone is

having a wee in the sea? If that's the case - we need to get to the

bottom of this. We can't have that! We shall show you proper sport

shortly, not that beach volleyball is not proper sport. I'm talking

about Anthony. We have Joe Joyce in action as well. We were showing you

beach volleyball earlier. We left it in the deciding set. The top seeds

Brazil of Alison Cerutti and Bruno Schmidt were taking on the Dutch, a

formidable partnership themselves. The winner goes into the Gold Medal

match. We join it in the deciding set once again. Brazilians are

leading 7-6. COMMENTATOR: Think that's just

messed. -- missed.

I believe that was the ball he was looking for... The previous time.

Yeah about two playing ago, when Alison threw it back. He was wanting

to go high hand. He finally got it. Wow. Just apologising for coming to

the net. I do not know how he ended up on his stomach after an attack.

Ah, just trying to avoid... The net. He hammered that ball.

Oh, lack of communication between Brouwer and

Meeuwsen. But the Netherlands have been here before. They have.

So important that one play doesn't directly affect another and you

don't let that frustration carry-over. Let it remain in the

past, and play in the present. He has missed it. That is the

difficulty of going down the line when you are so tight up against the

antenna. So tight, and now it is Brazil's turn to use their time-out.

It poured on to manage percentages right now. You don't want to get

overly excited to put a ball to the sand. When you do see a chance to

score, do not try to do too much. Is that last point played out, Alison

Karadzic long. -- Alison Karadzic long.

There is a bit of anxiety in the crowd as well. The Dutch have never

won medal in the men's inner beach volleyball competition. If they win

this one, they were guaranteed themselves at least silver. They are

looking for their first gold medal since the games in Athens in 2004.

And we are all square at 11-11. That was an intense hamstring stretch by

Alison in that past. He tried to get it down in time.

Oh, well done, Bruno. Unbelievable! What a rally! New Labour puts it

away. And it is the Dutch who are celebrating in the stands --

Meeuwsen puts it away. What is so fascinating is that they have

finally organised their coverage system. They finally had that

communication where it was clean. Brouwer was there.

Anything can happen, since Meeuwsen is in rhythm upfront.

They are under all sorts of pressure. What a time to come up

with a service fault. It was almost like an indecision server. You are

exactly right, and a mind that is undecided is the most dangerous want

to play in. Make a choice, trust it and go with it. Hasn't missed by

much. Brouwer was never going to pull out of that one. Like you say,

you can afford him the service fault. It's in, and it's match point

number 54 Alison and Bruno. You don't want to get into a slugfest

here. Because both these blockers are dialled in. What a play. Again,

they go after Brouwer and then send it on Meeuwsen. Meeuwsen has scored

every time they have done that switch. Whenever they have changed

it, they have always lost the point. Meeuwsen sent it long. Another thing

that is important is to not feel rushed. You can feel the energy of

the 12,000 in-house, you can feel the energy stirring inside you.

Match point number six. Advantage, Brazil. This to win it un-they have

done it! They got the touch off the block, and it is Brazil that go

through by 16-14, the sixth time of asking. They were under all sorts of

pressure. Alison lets the emotion come out. What a match. You feel for

Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen. So close, yet so far. An

epic semifinal in the men's beach volleyball event here in Rio 2016.

Brazil are through. DAN WALKER: there you go, it has

been one of those days for Brazil when not much has gone right, but a

brilliant finish in the beach volleyball. The women lost the

football to Sweden earlier in a penalty shoot out. We also showed

you that top seeds in the beach volleyball, also going out at the

semifinal stage, but the men are into the final. Chance of a gold

medal for the home favourites. We will talk more about a potential

other gold medal for them in the boxing ring later. But we have been

sat here for long enough, so let's go for a wander and find out what is

happening in the Atlantic tonight. Come with us on to Copacabana Beach.

All this rubbish about Whitley Bay and Copacabognor, this is one of the

most famous speeches in the world, Copacabana Beach. If this is the

first time you have been watching BBC Four, the beach-goers half a

kilometre that way and three and a half kilometres the other way so it

is four kilometres of beach in total. That is because for every

kilometre, there is a beach marker. If you look down there, you can see

that big number five. That is the five kilometre marker. Then it

stretches along to Ipanema beach, but this is Copacabana Beach, and

write down the far end is the Beach Volleyball Arena. Normally during

the day, you can see Sugarloaf Mountain as well. Be careful, don't

fall, anyone! Are you all right down there, Kath? She is one of the

finest camera women in the business. There is more beach volleyball going

on later. That is at 3am on the Red Button. You don't get this in Bognor

and is, do you? Well, you do! But you don't get the Atlantic in

Bognor. Now we will take you for an update in the sailing. We have

spoken about Jack Laugher and the fact that we are now on 50 medals as

Team GB. And just the other side of Sugarloaf Mountain is the Lake

Marina da Gloria, where all the sailing has taken place. Two of

those 50 medals arrived there today, both gold. To bring us up-to-date

with what happened is Shirley Robertson.

After the drama of yesterday's storms, there are now four medal

races scheduled here at discerning value, and it promises to be a

golden day for Team GB. Giles Scott did enough to secure his gold medal

two days ago out on the oceans of Copacabana. It was an emotional

moment he shared with his coach. The start for the men's heavyweight gets

under way. Today was the celebration of that moment in front of the

crowds on the shores of the Guanabara Bay. Scott showed what has

made him great, competing and finishing the medal race. Giles

Scott of Great Britain Cumu four time world champion. It has been a

long road, an agonising wait, but now the 29-year-old world number one

is confirmed as the gold medal winner in Rio 2016. It is

incredible. So happy with the way I sailed this week. That and the

campaign that my coat and I put together over the past three years,

everything has been geared towards this moment -- my coach and I, to be

successful and put to rest all the crucial decisions we made early is

fantastic. Job done for Scott. The chance to do the same for Hannah

Mills and Saskia Clark in the 470 double handed women's dinghy. Mills

and Clark had three races to sail, and if they could extend their lead

to 20 points, they could secure gold ahead of their medal race tomorrow.

20 points needed, 20 points the difference when they crossed the

finish line of their last race of the day in third place. It took a

quick check with their coach on the maths, and then celebration. Richest

gold number two in the sailing. Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark, 2016

gold medallists. I haven't stopped smiling. I know you are the best of

friends. It has been five years in the making. To share this moment

before you head are together, what is it like? It has been amazing. We

have had a hard five years. I have had two bits of surgery, and Hannah

waited for me. She has been an amazing best friend and team-mate. A

great couple. Congratulations! In other news, Alison Young won the

laser medal race to end up in eighth place, and disappointed. Nick

Thompson couldn't improve on his sixth place in the laser medal race

and the young British multi-wholesalers rounded up an

Olympics that began in great style back in ninth place. Tomorrow, it's

ladies day. A gold medal final for Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark, when

they race in front of the beach before stepping onto the top step of

the Olympic podium. Brilliant stuff from Britain's

sailors today' gold medals. Now, for those of you who have

enjoyed the magic of Maria over the last few days, the wonderful lady

who strolled past us on Copacabana Beach for her hen do, guess who has

turned up? It is Maria's mum, everybody! Lovely to see you. Thank

you so much for popping down. And you have come to say what? I came to

say hello for everybody and to invite you personally to the

wedding. I am only in Brazil for two weeks. It has been wonderful to meet

your daughter, but I am not sure my wife would allow me to come back to

Brazil for one day. Tell us what the last few days have been like for

Maria? We heard today that the video has been watched ?15.5 million

around the world. It is a big success, no? I can't imagine that

would happen and I can't imagine I am here now talking to everybody.

But Maria is so happy. The most important thing is that Maria really

believes in love. And her fiance, I say that right? He is a very special

man and I am very happy at this moment. Thank you, everybody for the

messages. It has been amazing. When comblar left here, she didn't

know much about BBC Four, but she left and it took off. What was she

like the next day, what was it like as a family the next day?

Westminster, she didn't sleep. She's so excited. This is your daughter

the other day. Yeah, she is, BBC, BBC! We know! As I say that Maria is

beautiful, brilliant and charismatic. She's BBC girl. Was she

all right the next day? She wasn't, we say in Britain, worse for wear,

she'd been enjoying herself. Yeah, Joan Ayrad lot. Everybody -- Yeah

enjoy a lot. Everybody wanted to take picture with marament and the

Twitter is very, a lot of followers. She was on Facebook, because she was

becoming so popular and people from America were trying to get in

contact with her. I let her know that people wanted to know where she

was. She joined Twitter. She has about 2,000 followers in about a few

hours and now messages from all over the world. Yes. So I say thank you

for everybody and congratulations for your job. I think it's the all

people are very interested in this kind of things and Brazilian people

are happy. And England people are welcome to our country. Ah, that's

very nice. On behalf of everyone from Great Britain, it's been very

nice to meet you and your daughter. Can I ask you about the Olympics.

It's great to have you here. I didn't get a chance to speak to

Maria about, it I'm not sure if she had been too aware of the Olympics,

because she was talking of her undying love for her fiance. What

have you made for the Olympics, two golds for Brazil. Potentially more

to come. Has it been good for Brazil? The Olympics? Yes, it's very

nice. The city is beautiful. I think that people are safe to come. A lot

of - I think it's very nice and Brazil not very wow in the

competition, but they won gold medals. Two or three. Two

definitely. And possibly more today. Yeah, today in boxing. Don't give it

away, we're going to show that. You're as bad as your daughter! I've

got to ask you about the plans for the wedding. Maria told us she's

getting married on the beach. Yes, it's a club in the posh set. My

mother live here. And the last building. The wedding party is in

the club. So just down here. She's marrying there. It's on September

17, is that right? 17th September. Brilliant. I'd like to say I'll see

you there, but I don't know. Thank you so much for the invitation. It's

very, very nice. That's another beautiful invitation. Thank you so

much. Thank you. That's great. Lovely to see you. Thank you so

much. That's Maria's mum everybody. Can we give her a round of applause.

APPLAUSE What other members of the family can

you bring down? Yeah, tomorrow, tomorrow. Let's meet some more. The

father come tomorrow. The dad. OK. Come on. We'll meet him tomorrow.

Thank you very much. Bye-bye. Lovely to see you. Thank you. She may have

given something away there. We were going to show you boxing from

earlier on. One bullet-proof distil's finest, this is the men's

lightweight final -- one of Brazil's finest. This is the men's

lightweight final. Let's go to the boxing ring. Commentary from Richie

Woodall and big Ron McIntosh. COMMENTATOR: We are under way. The

60 kilogram lightweight Gold Medal bout being contested between boxers

from France and Brazil. The man in red is 27 years of age,

competing in his third Olympic Games here and inspired by the home

support, he has booked his place in the Gold Medal contest with terrific

performances. The man wearing blue has been razor sharp all tournament

long. 21 years of age. Ranked six in the world. Fantastic atmosphere. Who

will get their tactics right. Both boxers good long-range men.

Conceicao looks to be on front foot. He's getting the crowd behind him.

Everything he lands is being cheered. Make no mistake. This

Frenchman is a class act as well. These two men were supposed to meet

just before the Olympics at a tournament. It's Robson Conceicao

who won. That's because it was a walkover as Oumiha was unable to

take his place in the semifinal stage. The atmosphere here really is

incredible. Conceicao used this atmosphere to produce a terrific

semifinal win. Oumiha gets caught there. Makes a

mistake with his landing shot and trying to get back to safety

distance. But he's dropping his hands. Conceicao, for me, this jab

of his has been brilliant this first round. Good timing, accurate. This

is a good start from the before distilian. -- from the Brazilian.

Look at this single jab. Good timing, measuring the distance.

Conceicao picked up a cut in the semifinal win. Good movement from

the waist to avoid those punches from Oumiha. We will have to keep a

close eye on that injury to see if it holds up throughout this Gold

Medal bout. He's boxing very well indeed, hitting without being hit in

replay. The lay back making Oumiha miss. Quality in and out from both

boxers. It's who can hit and make the opponent miss and then go back

at him. Both are doing it well. Oumiha gets caught going out. For

me, the Brazilian slightly better. Good movement on the retreat once

again from Conceicao. An opening round full of thought and

concentration between the two boxers in stark contrast to the party

that's happening up in the stands here. Both decide to stand and not

sit. Both are confident. This fellow for me had the better start there on

that front foot. Tension in the air, but the crowd really playing their

part here. Just making your opponent miss by inches and going back and

scoring. That's what Conceicao did there. Will he get the scores.

Into the second round we go. The man wearing red, Robson Conceicao, the

fifth ranked boxer in the world, tournament number four seed, swept

the opening round across the board. He's begun the second round working

wonderfully behind that educated left hand. That's good tactics from

Conceicao here. He's not giving ground. He's in and out, very sharp.

He started quickly. Again, Oumiha trying to land that left hook. It's

just not getting home. That right hand of his, the accuracy is not

there compared to his opponent. Conceicao working better with the

jab and better with the right hand. Oumiha had a terrific run through to

the semifinal stage. He produced a fantastic display

against the tournament number three seed to book his place here in this

Gold Medal bout. He's coping with the occasion well, Oumiha, but

struggling to find the range consistently for his shots.

Conceicao appearing unnaturally calm up there in the ring hoping himself

to a good one, two. These quality performers here. In this

cat-and-mouse boxing - look at Conceicao, he's on the ball, 100%

concentration. He's beating Oumiha to the punch. Doesn't matter about

the atmosphere. The concentration levels are very high from the man in

red. Oumiha is definitely in it. Yes, there's not a lot in it from

this contest. Better qualities coming from the boxing ring

Brazilian. Oumiha with a glance to his corner.

Look at that left hand from Conceicao. And a left jab causes

Oumiha to touchdown. Referee ruled it a slip. But for my money, the

most fundament Alf of all boxing punches got through -- fundamental

of all boxing punches got through. A dominant display by the Brazilian.

Lovely punch picking, straight punches, basic work from the

Brazilian. It's working very effectively for him.

Concentration absolute throughout. These men know that their boxer is

surely just three minutes away in terms of action in the ring from

being crowned Olympic Gold Medallist at this, a home Olympics.

Concentration is the name of the game in a contest like this. It's

been demonstrated in abundance here by Conceicao. He's in and out with

the work. Using the basic of all punches, the straight purchls,

better, with the jab, straight right hand. Oumiha is having some success.

It's not all one-way traffic. He's being beaten to the punch. Again,

it's the judges that matter. Into the third and final round we

go. The boxer wearing red Robson Conceicao of Brazil. A man who has

been a poster boy not just for the boxing tournament but the entire

Olympic Games. A two-point advantage from judges A, B and C in this

incredible atmosphere here. His concentration has been absolute. A

laser-like focus to repel the advances of Oumiha. He's having

moments of success of his own, the reigning European Games Silver

Medallist. Now the man in blue has a mountain to climb. He needs a 10-8

round to get back to parity. Oumiha needs the round of his life here. He

needs to cause a 10-8 round. It's all or nothing now from Oumiha. He

will have to take risks to land that power shot. He'll have to be in that

short to land that bent arm shot which could cause an upset here. By

doing that, he's in a zone there and an area where he can get caught

himself. He needs the punch of his life. He's got to go for broke,

Oumiha. This man, who was a street vendor on

the streets of Salvador as a child, calls himself a survivor. He said

his personality, he euphemistically called himself quarrelsome. Robson

Conceicao wanted to be just like an uncle. He used to neeck down to the

gym, watch his uncle ply his trade. Used to fake injury and get

treatment from the hospital, take the same bandages that the hospital

would treat his fake injuries with and turned them into hand wraps.

That's how much this young man from Brazil, who grew up poor in Brazil,

wanted to be a boxer and now, at a home Olympics, he's on the cusp of

being crowned Olympic champion, an historic title. Prior to this point

no Brazilian has occupied top spet on the medal programme in the boxing

ring. The hard work for Conceicao has been done in those two rounds.

He's protecting the lead now. Conceicao has taken his foot off the

gas. Watch this place erupted when this bell goes. The crowd are

counting down the final seconds. And Robson Conceicao raises his arms and

wanders wearily back to his red corner. The crowd know, and he knows

that he is just about to be crowned Olympic gold medallist in this 60

kilograms lightweight division. What an intelligent display to keep

the talented Sofiane Oumiha out of punching range. The French know it

is not going to be their night. But he played his part in a terrific

contest. But Robson Conceicao would not be denied.

His first two rounds where his best grounds. He concentrated very well.

He started quickly, that was important. The speed was there. It

is a rocky story that you explained, Ronald. Tremendous stuff from this

young man. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by unanimous decision...

Robson Conceicao! A cacophony of noise and the Carnival of colour

have just erupted into celebration in acknowledgement of the fact that

Robson Conceicao, the boy who grew up poor on the streets of Salvador,

has just been crowned Olympic champion in the 60 kilograms

lightweight division. He becomes Brazil's first-ever Olympic champion

inside the boxing ring. He dealt with the pressure of expectation. He

dealt with the reputation and the talents of all of the boxes in front

of him, never more so than in the final, when he eliminated the

talented Frenchman Sofiane Oumiha. And he is drinking in the applause

from the crowd here in Riocentro Pavilion 6, who are in absolute

rapture at what this man has accomplished. 27-year-old Robson

Conceicao is the Olympic champion of the 60 kilograms lightweight

division. Usually, it is the Brazilian footballers that I call

the headlines in this neck of the woods. But now they have a new

national hero, a boxer and Olympic champion of 60 kilograms. That is

something special and this crowd, in years to come, will say, I was

there. For the first time probably in this tournament, it is a full

arena. Every Brazilian in this arena will feel very proud of that young

man. He is now a national hero. People are crying all around us.

DAN WALKER: amazing stuff, Brazil's third gold medal of the games.

Robson Conceicao, like the pole vault last night in the athletics,

did the business when it mattered. That was a short time ago in the

Riocentro. I know Maria's mum gave it away, but I hope it didn't ruin

it for you. Remember Raphael Silva in the judo about a week ago, and

then the pole vault last night and then Robson Conceicao with another

gold. I know loads of you want us to do the Copacabinmen. It is that time

of night. We will do it. I know loads of you want to comment on

Maria's mum. We will do that as well, but let's take you to some

live weightlifting. These are the big boys, 14.5 stone. After this

much, we had a world record from the Iranian. This is 216 kilos he is

going for, his third attempt. A new world record. So he is leading after

this match. This is his third attempt of the clean and jerk but.

As we join it live, he is coming in now for his third attempt. He has to

make this, so the pressure is on. We join our commentary team of Michaela

breeze and Jon Harker. These are the big guys, 105 kilos.

COMMENTATOR: He is still blowing hard after the previous that had.

Two minutes is not long to recover. Last chance. Come on. Everybody in

the arena wants to see this. My word! A world record half an hour

ago, and he is going home medal less. A staggering fall from grace

for the Olympic champion. He is not happy with the jury's decision. I

believe the jury's decision was actually correct. They will agree

once they have seen the replay that that was not the way he expect to go

out of the competition, and it is not what we expected. Nonetheless,

the competition is still on. It is all to play for now. We have got

more confusion here. The Brazilian has been called off the stage. Let's

recap with what we have just seen. At the moment, Talakhadze is in the

lead. He still has two lifts to come. But he goes. The gold medal

should be this man's, particularly if he can lift this. It would be a

pretty unassailable lead if he succeeds with this seconds left in

the clean and jerk. Some superb lifting. It is very disappointing to

hear the bruise from the crowd as he comes out. It is not his problem. He

is coming out here and doing his job. You need a bit more respect

from the crowd. That has drawn a line in the sand for the rest of the

lifters. He stands so strong. Saraiva Reis, with his third and

final attempt. He's has gone up to kilos. He is asking the crowd for

quiet. That is a failure. It even if he had

stood up with it, the referees would have asked him to put it down. He is

in fifth place. Watch the adjustment. That is not

allowed. He would have been failed. Mart Seim will be looking to move up

the rankings with this lift. Is he going to hold it? What do the

referees think of that? He was so close. You have got to be much more

convincing than this. It is not going to be a new PB for him. He

failed. Mart Seim stands up really well.

Chest in front. Was it elbows, was it shoulders, was he unlucky? Tough

refereeing here tonight. So far, I think the right decisions have been

made. This is becoming more and more controversial. We have just had the

Iranian officials. We have just seen Salimikordasiabi walk out and

question the officials. Extraordinary scenes here. As a
