Day 11 BBC One: 19.00-23.25

:00:09. > :00:14.good evening to you if you are now joining us on BBC One, this is the

:00:15. > :00:19.final of the women's floor, the last event in the women's artistic

:00:20. > :00:27.gymnastics programme. We have just been watching Yan of charnel. Simone

:00:28. > :00:31.Biles, the favourite is in fifth -- China. For viewers on BBC Two, it is

:00:32. > :00:35.time to switch over to BBC One for continued coverage of what is one of

:00:36. > :00:46.the highlights of the whole gymnastics programme, see you

:00:47. > :00:56.Well, you are seeing the replays here of Wang Yan. She was very

:00:57. > :01:00.efficient on her tumbling. Good veep, as you would always expect

:01:01. > :01:05.from the Chinese. For me, she doesn't sell the routine in quite

:01:06. > :01:10.the same way as we see some gymnasts. She starts quite nicely at

:01:11. > :01:13.the beginning but the end is all about serious concentration. We will

:01:14. > :01:16.see how the judges feel. They do have quite a lot of marks for

:01:17. > :01:31.artistic 14 points 666, it is the highest

:01:32. > :01:44.score we have seen so far. From the youngest gymnast. One of the

:01:45. > :01:52.youngest, in this final. Fasana from Italy, 24 years old. Italy with two

:01:53. > :01:59.gymnasts in this floor final, it is really a strong piece for them. And

:02:00. > :02:06.again, the double twisting doubletalk. These gymnasts

:02:07. > :02:11.performing that fantastically. -- double truck. They are allowed up to

:02:12. > :02:20.four tumbles. This is the second one. Double straight, very clean

:02:21. > :02:26.landing. Now the spin with the leg held high above the head gets a lot

:02:27. > :02:38.of marks, as does that very nice full turning leap in the split

:02:39. > :03:17.So two big important tumbles. Here comes the third. Double pike,

:03:18. > :03:26.somersault. Really powerful tumbling, quick leaps. There is so

:03:27. > :03:29.little to choose between these gymnasts, all performing fabulously.

:03:30. > :03:32.MATT BAKER: We said the first of the competition is going to be very

:03:33. > :03:35.close and then with the gymnasts to come in the latter part of this

:03:36. > :03:38.final, brace yourself that the winning positions will change

:03:39. > :03:44.because there are some very strong athletes to come. And you can see

:03:45. > :03:51.here how powerful the tumbling is. To be in the floor final, you need

:03:52. > :03:55.to be using the double twist of double somersault. The skill level

:03:56. > :04:00.on the floor has really increased over the past four years since

:04:01. > :04:03.London 2012. There were only a couple of gymnasts using those

:04:04. > :04:10.skills, but now, you have to have it to be in a final. What you put that

:04:11. > :04:15.down to? I think people are seeing what is making the medals, but also

:04:16. > :04:18.the type of floor being used has been improved, so it is slightly

:04:19. > :04:26.bouncier than it used to be but still, you have to have the power to

:04:27. > :04:30.do those tumbles. I think you are right, Beth, the doors were open.

:04:31. > :04:34.One or two gymnasts did the more difficult tumbles and people started

:04:35. > :04:42.to think, this is a possibility. Yourself' great -- yourself

:04:43. > :04:51.included. Very powerful and tumbling. In a very different way!

:04:52. > :05:03.The score is exactly the same as Murakami, but the difficulty and

:05:04. > :05:09.execution goes ahead of Murakami. Next, for Great Britain, Amy

:05:10. > :05:18.Tinkler. The youngest member of Team GB as a whole. She is the British

:05:19. > :05:22.floor champion. Some very big tumbles are going to be coming up in

:05:23. > :05:28.this routine. Starts off very cleanly and great music, lived in

:05:29. > :05:42.the crowd, already clapping along to it. -- lifting. The full back

:05:43. > :05:47.straight. Really sells this routine. Straight back down the diagonal with

:05:48. > :05:58.a double twisting double back. Fantastic first to tumbles from Amy.

:05:59. > :06:06.Now has her chance to show her grade choreography. -- great choreography.

:06:07. > :06:16.There is the turn into the one one half Philippe. She is building up to

:06:17. > :06:20.her third tumble, she uses a combination tumble, the one one half

:06:21. > :06:30.walk-out, into the double talk. Very cleanly performed. There is another

:06:31. > :06:40.big jump and she building up to the final tumble. Such a powerful

:06:41. > :06:46.gymnast. There is the double pike and a fantastic landing to finish

:06:47. > :06:50.off. A great routine. MATT BAKER: Amy Tinkler looking very

:06:51. > :06:54.at home in this Olympic floor final! Really positive, she is such an

:06:55. > :06:59.expressive gymnast. She has wowed the crowd. The crowd got going

:07:00. > :07:05.behind Amy there more than anyone else and Amy is from your neck of

:07:06. > :07:08.the woods, from South Durham gym club and really performed

:07:09. > :07:13.fantastically throughout these championships. First tumble, a

:07:14. > :07:19.double straight somersault, with the twist in and the body travels really

:07:20. > :07:25.slowly went you are straight, it is one of the most difficult tumbles

:07:26. > :07:31.you will see. This is the double talk with twist. Always been a great

:07:32. > :07:36.tumbler from a tiny gymnast. And so well rehearsed on the landings. She

:07:37. > :07:45.didn't step and she couldn't have done that better. Amy is one of the

:07:46. > :07:50.gymnasts that has really relished this. At the qualification, she was

:07:51. > :07:55.at how it was and she said she loved it. At the qualification, she had

:07:56. > :07:57.the biggest smile on her face, she wanted to be out there, wanted to

:07:58. > :08:02.perform under the crowd were really enjoying that routine with her and,

:08:03. > :08:07.as a gymnast, to perform with the crowd clapping along, it gives you

:08:08. > :08:17.that extra little buzz as well. Well, the score is in and it is an

:08:18. > :08:22.enormous 14.9 33. Amy Tinkler is in with a very good shout, Chris! That

:08:23. > :08:26.is a fantastic score. She sold the routine so differently to so many of

:08:27. > :08:37.the others. She lived it and she loved it and that is what makes the

:08:38. > :08:46.difference. 14.933 is going to be up there. Simone Biles, the highest

:08:47. > :08:58.qualifier, going for her fourth gold medal. Three times world champion.

:08:59. > :09:10.Make sure you keep your eyes open. How high is that tumble?

:09:11. > :09:30.Effortless sleeps so another big tumble on the way -- leaps. And such

:09:31. > :09:41.an easy tumble out of it. Lovely control on the spin. It is the

:09:42. > :09:46.height on everything she does that sets her apart. They have all done

:09:47. > :10:09.fantastic tumbling, but this is so high so easy -- and so easy to land.

:10:10. > :10:13.And she performs with real joy. The final move of her Olympic

:10:14. > :10:25.championships, full twisting, double back. How does she do it? Absolutely

:10:26. > :10:30.amazing performance. We just watched four gymnasts with wonderful tumbles

:10:31. > :10:39.and she was at least a foot higher than them on every single tumble.

:10:40. > :10:51.Amy Tinkler leads this women's floor final on a score of 14.933. I think

:10:52. > :10:59.this will go higher. She has incredible height and such a

:11:00. > :11:02.straight landing position. She posted a 6.8 difficulty in the

:11:03. > :11:23.qualification and that is what sets her apart. Good spatial awareness to

:11:24. > :11:37.nowhere it is. And she decides to tumble it into the third. And a

:11:38. > :11:39.little quirky finish. It has been such a pleasure and a privilege to

:11:40. > :11:54.watch her here. One of the pleasures of these

:11:55. > :12:11.Olympic Games. The score is in and it is well ahead of the rest so far.

:12:12. > :12:19.Over one market ahead. Amy Tinkler drops to second -- one mark. All

:12:20. > :12:25.eyes focus on Steingruber, the European floor champion. Fourth

:12:26. > :12:34.highest qualifier, she scored 14 points 666 in

:12:35. > :12:43.We saw her taking the medal in vault earlier this week. Huge height on

:12:44. > :12:56.these leaps. Didn't quite control that first jump. Double back and

:12:57. > :12:59.re-bounds onto the floor, onto her hands, the judges will take a mark

:13:00. > :13:15.on that are -- off that. Doesn't look settled. Here is the second,

:13:16. > :13:22.just the double straight. There is the big jump, the big leaps. She has

:13:23. > :13:26.changed her tumbles around compared to what we saw in the warm up. And

:13:27. > :13:35.there is the full twisting double back and puts her hands down. She

:13:36. > :13:40.has got to finish this routine of strongly. -- off

:13:41. > :13:55.There are the two jumps together, with the full spin. And finishes the

:13:56. > :13:59.routine off. Well, the crowd getting behind her in the latter part of

:14:00. > :14:06.that routine, but it didn't go to plan. She will have to settle with

:14:07. > :14:10.the bronze on vault. She will and that is really quite a surprise, she

:14:11. > :14:14.is a very experienced gymnast, we have seen her perform that floor

:14:15. > :14:17.routine twice already in qualification and in the all-around

:14:18. > :14:21.final and she hadn't looked like she had problems, but even that first

:14:22. > :14:25.jump, she didn't perform very well, didn't look settled. If you land

:14:26. > :14:30.with your feet behind you, you just get a recoil from the floor. She

:14:31. > :14:36.will be fine, but the floor is a very good floor for taking off on,

:14:37. > :14:37.it is not a good floor for landing, unless you bolt upright and get your

:14:38. > :14:52.feet down flat. She had obviously decided that there

:14:53. > :14:57.was not any point in any more problems but the first ever Swiss

:14:58. > :15:05.female gymnast to have medalled at an Olympics. Like you said, Matt,

:15:06. > :15:12.bronze on the vault. Simone Biles will stay in the lead. I am sure Amy

:15:13. > :15:21.Tinkler will stay in second. We see what the situation is with third.

:15:22. > :15:22.Two more gymnasts to go. One is Aly Raisman, the other is Vanessa

:15:23. > :15:42.Ferrari. Great Britain watch and wonder. Your

:15:43. > :15:49.husband is down there, Chris. He is. He will be absolutely delighted. He

:15:50. > :15:54.says she has really risen to the whole of the competition, feels

:15:55. > :16:00.really at home in this environment, so delighted, I think. And I think I

:16:01. > :16:05.am right in saying the next gymnast is the defending Olympic champion on

:16:06. > :16:10.floor. Yes, Aly Raisman. We're having to wait a little bit longer

:16:11. > :16:15.than she would have liked. There is a bit of deliberation going on with

:16:16. > :16:22.the judges scoring. Will this be to do with execution? The judges tend

:16:23. > :16:31.to know what routines are coming out and suddenly, they don't know what

:16:32. > :16:39.to expect. She has a total score of 11.8. Way down on difficulty from

:16:40. > :16:45.qualification. Now the corner of the floor for the second-highest

:16:46. > :16:54.qualifier. And the reigning Olympic champion. She got the silver in the

:16:55. > :17:06.all-around competition. The highest score she has posted here has been

:17:07. > :17:13.15.433. This first tumble is something quite exceptional. She

:17:14. > :17:14.goes into the double Arabian and then straight into a front

:17:15. > :17:38.somersault. It is important to secure the spin.

:17:39. > :17:40.Another sky-high tumble here. A double pike Arabian. She is on song

:17:41. > :18:10.today. The only little deductions really

:18:11. > :18:22.for a slight lack of split in the leaps.

:18:23. > :18:34.A high-energy routine. Keeps it going until the end. A big double

:18:35. > :18:38.pike finish. The tiniest of hops. We really are witnessing a celebration

:18:39. > :18:44.of gymnastics here in Rio. What a floor final this is proving to be.

:18:45. > :18:51.And just to witness gymnasts at the top of their game is something else.

:18:52. > :18:57.Every gymnast here in this floor final looked up to their very best.

:18:58. > :19:02.The American gymnasts are so well trained. They have done these

:19:03. > :19:09.routines so many times. You never have a doubt that they will land

:19:10. > :19:16.tumbles. This one was so impressive. She does not stop at the double

:19:17. > :19:23.Arabian she does a rebound. It is fantastic tumbling from her. And

:19:24. > :19:27.here, the double pike Arabian and she goes straight into the jumps.

:19:28. > :19:35.That is where they are building up their difficulty. Each time they use

:19:36. > :19:42.the jumps out of the somersaults they get rid of the landing

:19:43. > :19:51.deductions. Finally, the double pike. Such height and power. She

:19:52. > :20:01.knows exactly where that landing is. Shias so upright. -- she is so

:20:02. > :20:07.upright. I think that will be enough to take her into second. She led the

:20:08. > :20:17.US team. She is the experienced member and she has been great with

:20:18. > :20:20.the team. She goes up into second. As it stands, it is USA one and two,

:20:21. > :20:41.Great Britain in three. One gymnast ago. She has gone a

:20:42. > :20:51.little bit closer to the floor so she can see what Vanessa Ferrari is

:20:52. > :21:10.up to. She is two-time European champion.

:21:11. > :21:24.The first big tumble. Using a double twist. A very clean landing.

:21:25. > :21:30.Going straight back into the double straight. Another fantastic tumble

:21:31. > :21:54.with a great landing. Here is the full twist. The chest

:21:55. > :22:04.slightly down. She has gone back to one of her old floor routines.

:22:05. > :22:25.The change leg ring with a full turn. Fantastic choreography.

:22:26. > :22:35.The final big tumble uses the double pike and just a few paces back. Such

:22:36. > :22:39.an experienced gymnast. She poured every ounce of her experience to

:22:40. > :22:47.play in that. She performed it beautifully. It will go right to the

:22:48. > :22:51.wire. I'm sure that is her last Olympics, and her last chance to try

:22:52. > :23:01.and get her hands on an Olympic medal. From qualification she posted

:23:02. > :23:10.a 6.2 and Amy had a 6.4 so that could be the difference. World

:23:11. > :23:15.champion back in 2006, when she was just a youngster like Amy Tinkler

:23:16. > :23:26.now. The coach knows those temps are vital. -- tenth as

:23:27. > :23:39.it will be very close. Amy Tinkler from Great Britain is currently in

:23:40. > :23:49.that third position. Aly Raisman in second and Simone Biles leads this

:23:50. > :23:55.floor final. The waste is -- the weight is the worst. I do know who

:23:56. > :24:00.is more nervous, Ferrari or Tinkler will stop which three names will be

:24:01. > :24:06.up there? All eyes glued to the scoreboard. I am sure you are with

:24:07. > :24:20.us at home as well. Have Great Britain got a medal on floor? We

:24:21. > :24:27.will know in a matter of seconds. It has been a truly wonderful floor

:24:28. > :24:36.final. Such combinations of styles. The score is in! It is 14.7 66. It

:24:37. > :24:42.is not enough for a medal for Vanessa Ferrari. So Great Britain's

:24:43. > :24:47.Amy Tinkler take the bronze in the floor final. Aly Raisman takes

:24:48. > :24:54.silver but the champion is Simone Biles with a score of 15.966. What

:24:55. > :24:59.they final. It went right down to the last performance. Simone Biles

:25:00. > :25:08.gets her fourth gold medal of the Rio Olympics. Alexandra Raisman

:25:09. > :25:18.takes the silver medal. But it is an historic bronze for Great Britain's

:25:19. > :25:23.Amy Tinkler. Beth, you are the only individual Olympic medallist on the

:25:24. > :25:29.winning's side, and now you are in company. I am, and it is amazing.

:25:30. > :25:36.The British team have worked so hard to get here. All credit to lay me to

:25:37. > :25:40.perform on this big stage and to her personal coaches, Nicola and Rachel

:25:41. > :25:47.for all that work from when she was tiny to take that bronze medal today

:25:48. > :25:51.-- all credit to Amy to perform an big stage. We knew she had the

:25:52. > :25:58.chance of going clean. She could pick up a medal, but it is just

:25:59. > :26:02.amazing. That has been so much success, so much celebration for

:26:03. > :26:16.Great Britain in the medals, and now Amy Tinkler joins the party.

:26:17. > :26:23.She joins the party and what a party. But a sensational for the

:26:24. > :26:26.youngest member of Team GB. 16 years of age. She did not compete in the

:26:27. > :26:33.European Championships last month because she was sitting Herrick

:26:34. > :26:39.sounds! She turned 16 years of age on the day Great Britain won bronze

:26:40. > :26:47.in the team competition last November -- she was sitting her

:26:48. > :26:52.exams! Wonderful stuff. You also have to salute the wonderful power

:26:53. > :26:58.and precision of Simone Biles. It is four on the floor. She joins Katie

:26:59. > :27:03.Ledecky as the it girl is of the American team. Four golds and a

:27:04. > :27:11.silver for both of those athletes from team USA. Every day it gets

:27:12. > :27:16.better and better, Clare and I suspect you will have more medals? I

:27:17. > :27:22.expect so. The final night in the velodrome promises to be really

:27:23. > :27:31.special. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that all three gold

:27:32. > :27:37.medals could be won by Team GB. Laura Trott is going for her fourth

:27:38. > :27:42.gold. She has a significant lead in the omnium, two vents to come. Her

:27:43. > :27:47.husband to be, Jason Kenny, he is hoping to write himself into the

:27:48. > :27:55.history books because only one British cyclist has won six gold

:27:56. > :27:58.medals, Sir Chris Hoy. They share rooms and they share the same

:27:59. > :28:08.birthday. Could they share the same number of gold medals?

:28:09. > :28:27.Sir Chris Hoy is the Olympic champion! Is Jason Kenny has

:28:28. > :28:34.released Hoy. Chris Hoy brings the team home. Chris Hoy Great Britain

:28:35. > :28:43.takes gold. What a fantastic performance. Gold-medal number four,

:28:44. > :28:49.Chris Hoy. Cairney storming around the track. Here comes Hoy!

:28:50. > :28:55.Gold-medal for Great Britain. Kenny is the Olympic sprint champion!

:28:56. > :29:01.Chris Hoy is the Olympic champion for the keirin. His sixth

:29:02. > :29:04.gold-medal! Jason Kenny hands it over and Great Britain are in the

:29:05. > :29:13.lead. And the gold medal goes to Great Britain! Cairney wins the gold

:29:14. > :29:20.medal. It is medal number five in the career of Jason Kenny!

:29:21. > :29:26.CLARE BALDING: so the velodrome here in Olympic Park could be the scene

:29:27. > :29:30.of a landmark moment in British Olympic history. Sir Steve Redgrave

:29:31. > :29:34.has five, Bradley Wiggins has five, Jason Kenny has five and can he join

:29:35. > :29:39.Sir Chris Hoy, the only British athlete with six gold medals? The

:29:40. > :29:45.final night of track cycling at the Rio 2016 Games and this is our Jason

:29:46. > :29:51.Kenny's timetable looks. The second round is effectively the semifinal.

:29:52. > :29:55.That is not all, because Becky James and Katy Marchant, their semifinals

:29:56. > :30:01.in the individual sprints start at 8pm. The finals from just after

:30:02. > :30:04.10pm. Laura Trott, her final two events tonight with the flying lap

:30:05. > :30:11.and the fabulous points race, the one you saw Mark Cavendish in a

:30:12. > :30:16.crash, him causing the crash, actually, last night. That is at

:30:17. > :30:19.9:05pm. So it is going to be fabulous. I really, really good

:30:20. > :30:24.night and Sir Chris Hoy alongside me. March 23, it is not just you and

:30:25. > :30:36.Jason, who else has a birthday that day? Sir Stephen Houghton great, Mo

:30:37. > :30:41.-- Mo Farah, JoCo Zaki, -- Joe Cal Zaki, Steve Redgrave. And I think

:30:42. > :30:46.Mark Spitz as well. If your birthday is March the 23rd, you have every

:30:47. > :30:50.chance of becoming a fine Olympian. You have raised with him and against

:30:51. > :30:54.him and seen him perform over the last four years. How good is Jason

:30:55. > :30:58.Kenny? Without doubt, one of the greatest. The way he can deal with

:30:59. > :31:03.pressure and rises to the occasion, he is quite a phenomenon and I think

:31:04. > :31:06.today, we will see him stepping out of the shadows. He is always this

:31:07. > :31:12.guy who never gets much attention, never gets the credit he deserves,

:31:13. > :31:16.but tonight, there is a long way to go, it is very unpredictable, the

:31:17. > :31:19.keirin, but I'm confident he is going to win it and I think it will

:31:20. > :31:25.be a very special night for him and for Laura. Keirin is one of those

:31:26. > :31:29.that has to, you have to get yourself into position, the

:31:30. > :31:32.mechanical bike goes out and ramps to speed up and lets them go with

:31:33. > :31:39.how many laps? Two and a half collapsed ago. It is essential to

:31:40. > :31:42.keep the bunch together so then at ??DELETE there are no long sprints.

:31:43. > :31:50.That is when the excitement starts. Are you enjoying watching it? I

:31:51. > :31:54.really enjoy watching it, it is very tactical, lots of bumping, lots of

:31:55. > :31:58.speed and it is a crowd favourite. How do you assess the performance of

:31:59. > :32:03.the British cyclist here so far? Amazing, very simply it is amazing.

:32:04. > :32:06.I expected them to do well, four or five gold medals, six Outerbridge,

:32:07. > :32:11.but they have dominated in the same way they did in Beijing and in

:32:12. > :32:14.London -- six at a push. There has been this waving of a white flag

:32:15. > :32:19.from the other nations. From day one, when the men's team Sprint beat

:32:20. > :32:22.the Olympic record, their were chins hitting the floor and it is amazing

:32:23. > :32:26.to see. You could see it coming for the last eight months or so, the

:32:27. > :32:30.team really got their act together but fantastic and really pleased to

:32:31. > :32:35.see it. Cycling doing really well but so to gymnastics. Two gold

:32:36. > :32:39.medals for Max Whitlock and a sensational bronze for Amy Tinkler.

:32:40. > :32:44.Only 16 years old. Simone Biles with her fourth medal of the game.

:32:45. > :32:49.MATT BAKER: This is now the sixth gymnastic medal here at the Rio

:32:50. > :32:56.Olympics and it is just a remarkable story. GCSEs one month, Olympic

:32:57. > :33:01.medal the next! But the final was dominated by Simone Biles. We

:33:02. > :33:07.expected that, Beth. Just how high she was in those tumbles. Her skill

:33:08. > :33:11.level is incredible, but the height she gets on those tumbles, you would

:33:12. > :33:16.think she was going off a trampoline, rather than the floor

:33:17. > :33:23.area, so all credit to her but for me, it is all about Amy Tinkler for

:33:24. > :33:26.me. It is and we saw her warming up, she looked so relaxed and she has

:33:27. > :33:32.relished her Olympic experience and wanted to come out and prove to the

:33:33. > :33:35.world what she can do. I think she has enjoyed it every time she has

:33:36. > :33:39.stepped out onto the competition floor, she has risen to the Games.

:33:40. > :33:43.She said after qualification, she loved it and couldn't wait to get

:33:44. > :33:48.back out and to go into the floor final and produce your best routine

:33:49. > :34:00.and a score of 14.9 is huge, it is amazing. Let's just enjoy the moment

:34:01. > :34:11.as the youngest member of Team GB is hugely successful. What a company

:34:12. > :34:20.she is in alongside Simone Biles and Alexandra Raisman. She twisted and

:34:21. > :34:25.tumble her way to that bronze medal -- tumbled.

:34:26. > :34:34.And there has been a lot going on in her life recently, with studying and

:34:35. > :34:38.repairing for the Olympic Games. To achieve all of that... Yes, she took

:34:39. > :34:42.the decision to step away from the Europeans, concentrate on her GCSEs

:34:43. > :34:49.and she was obviously training back home with her personal coaches up in

:34:50. > :34:52.South Durham, but the main aim was the Olympic Games and to come out

:34:53. > :34:56.here and take that bronze medal away, I think the Europeans will be

:34:57. > :35:05.forgotten about and it is all about this moment. A picture of happiness

:35:06. > :35:13.and total satisfaction. The silver medal goes to Alexandra Raisman. She

:35:14. > :35:17.was the Olympic champion in London, all around silver-medallist here

:35:18. > :35:22.just a few days ago and another silver medal for Alexandra Raisman

:35:23. > :35:56.in the women's floor. One of the standout athletes of the

:35:57. > :36:22.Rio Games has to be Simone Biles. This now her fourth Olympic gold.

:36:23. > :36:34.Her fifth Olympic medal in a single Games. Just 19 years old. She

:36:35. > :36:41.watched London and was inspired and put all of the hard work in over the

:36:42. > :36:49.last four years. Number four is all yours. She joins just three other

:36:50. > :36:50.gymnasts who have managed that feat of four Olympic golds at a single

:36:51. > :38:29.Olympics. CHEERING

:38:30. > :38:37.It seems there is an extra star on that flag from the USA. And there

:38:38. > :38:42.you have confirmation of the women's floor final.

:38:43. > :38:50.Amy Tinkler, from Great Britain, gets bronze.

:38:51. > :38:56.Bolding macro and the amazing thing, if you are watching this, if you are

:38:57. > :39:02.12 years old, you could be in Tokyo in four years' time, that is what

:39:03. > :39:07.happened to Amy Tinkler. These are the scenes at the Maracana, this is

:39:08. > :39:12.live on BBC Four, Brazil against Sweden in the women's football, it

:39:13. > :39:16.is 0-0 after extra time, the match is about to go to penalties. It is

:39:17. > :39:21.the semifinal and that would take the winners of the penalty shoot out

:39:22. > :39:25.through to the gold medal match and the Brazilian home fans would be

:39:26. > :39:29.over the moon if it happens to their team. You saw the scenes of

:39:30. > :39:32.celebration when they took gold in the pole-vault last night. The

:39:33. > :39:36.Brazilian women getting their talking to before penalties against

:39:37. > :39:40.you. We are going to get more reaction from the gymnastics and we

:39:41. > :39:44.will be back for the high bar final, Nile Wilson and that, but Nicola

:39:45. > :39:48.Adams was one of the stars of the London Games. She won the first ever

:39:49. > :39:52.gold medal for women's boxing there and she has become a Commonwealth

:39:53. > :39:58.champion and crucially in May this year, won the world championship for

:39:59. > :40:01.the first time. She began the defence of her Olympic flyweight

:40:02. > :40:12.today. We are under way. Boxers from Great

:40:13. > :40:17.Britain and Ukraine. The box are wearing red, Nicola Adams. The boxer

:40:18. > :40:24.in blue, Tatyana Kob, of Ukraine, ranked 34 in the world. Nicola on

:40:25. > :40:29.the outside, it is important she doesn't concede too much ground.

:40:30. > :40:33.Rather untidy at close range. Nicola Adams finding her rhythm and timing

:40:34. > :40:39.in this, her first appearance at Rio 2016. Just looking to counter that

:40:40. > :40:43.speculative right hand fired out by Kob. You get the impression that

:40:44. > :40:47.this is the only way that Kob can win the contest, by getting onto the

:40:48. > :40:52.front foot and making it untidy and scrappy. Good lead right hand out of

:40:53. > :40:58.that orthodox stance from Nicola Adams. Head movement increasing for

:40:59. > :41:02.the boxer from lives. Good left hand from Kob, she wants this type of

:41:03. > :41:05.territory, to make it a rough physical encounter. She has to use

:41:06. > :41:10.her right uppercut, use the jab, measure the gap and throw the right

:41:11. > :41:15.to the middle as the opponent comes forward. There it was to the body,

:41:16. > :41:20.that wasn't too bad. Nicola Adams making a bright start behind long,

:41:21. > :41:24.straight punches. That is a wonderful right hand by the boxer in

:41:25. > :41:30.red. Better quality punches from Adams. On the end of straight shots

:41:31. > :41:34.as Nicola Adams looks to increase the tempo. Kob is having a little

:41:35. > :41:41.bit of success, Adams has to rally. That was a nice left hook. Good jab

:41:42. > :41:45.by Kob, she is out in determined style, to find the finishing blow.

:41:46. > :41:51.Adams misses with an attempted right hand. The left that followed wasn't

:41:52. > :41:54.too far away. Very strong conclusion to this contest by Tatyana Kob but

:41:55. > :41:59.it is little Adams, who takes another left hand, who will have her

:42:00. > :42:02.hand raised by virtue of the insurance she built up over the

:42:03. > :42:08.first two rounds. The reigning Olympic champion goes through to the

:42:09. > :42:14.medal stages with a unanimous points victory over Tatyana Kob of Ukraine.

:42:15. > :42:20.Bolding macro Nicola Adams looking pretty sharp, and medal guaranteed.

:42:21. > :42:23.-- CLAIRE BALDING:. There has been a delay for her

:42:24. > :42:28.getting into action, were you pleased to see her today, Richie

:42:29. > :42:33.Woodhall? Absolutely, and no one will be more pleased than her, she

:42:34. > :42:36.has had to wait ten or 11 days to complete. That is because she won

:42:37. > :42:41.the world title earlier in the year and became the number one seed, so

:42:42. > :42:45.she gets the by. So she has had to wait a long time and it is hard in

:42:46. > :42:49.the Olympic Village, there are so many distractions but she has gone

:42:50. > :42:54.through that before. To get your Olympic Games, to open it up, that

:42:55. > :42:57.is what you want to do. I have to ask you about the very controversial

:42:58. > :43:00.result and indeed comments afterwards from Michael Conlon, the

:43:01. > :43:06.world champion who lost today and he had some pretty strong words about

:43:07. > :43:11.the judging system. Yes, we are coming up to the 230th contest and I

:43:12. > :43:15.have commentated on a lot of contests and nearly all of them in

:43:16. > :43:19.this tournament and overall, it has been quite good, I have to say. I

:43:20. > :43:23.haven't agreed with all of the judging but there haven't been many

:43:24. > :43:27.bad decisions. Today, that was a bad one and yesterday, I thought also,

:43:28. > :43:32.the Kazakhstan the final for the heavyweight decision, that was a bad

:43:33. > :43:37.one. The reason it was bad for me was because Michael Conlon, for me,

:43:38. > :43:41.boxed for perfect contest. In the first round, he kept his distance,

:43:42. > :43:44.this is all about getting your opponent and not getting hit

:43:45. > :43:48.yourself. He demonstrated it in the first round and the judging at the

:43:49. > :43:52.end of the first round was pretty bad in that three judges went

:43:53. > :43:56.against him. He had to change tactics entirely. The third round

:43:57. > :44:01.was perfect but he didn't get it. He has had is some fairly strong things

:44:02. > :44:08.to say about it. We are now going to head out into the Atlantic Ocean for

:44:09. > :44:16.the latest on the sailing. Giles Scott's gold in the Finn finally

:44:17. > :44:20.confirmed. No one was morally than him to finally do that race and get

:44:21. > :44:26.that gold medal -- no one was more relieved. A huge British crowd at

:44:27. > :44:35.the marina the glory. I am on my way to the women's for 70 course, Hannah

:44:36. > :44:39.Mills and Katie Clark are doing Giles before their medal race, so

:44:40. > :44:46.hopefully the next 30 minutes, we could have some great news. I love

:44:47. > :44:49.hearing from Shirley, she is so knowledgeable and also coach ready

:44:50. > :44:53.well with bobbing up and down in the water. These other gymnasts,

:44:54. > :44:57.including Nile Wilson, coming out for the high bar final. Could we get

:44:58. > :45:01.yet another medal from the sport. It has been the most improved in the

:45:02. > :45:05.last four years. In the last eight years, it has been incredible. The

:45:06. > :45:10.penalty shoot out between Brazil and Sweden for the right to get into the

:45:11. > :45:15.gold medal women's football final is currently live on BBC Four, but

:45:16. > :45:17.let's hadn't you back to the commentary team, still celebrating

:45:18. > :45:22.and still in awe of the performance of Simone Biles on the floor, he is

:45:23. > :45:27.Matt Baker. MATT BAKER: Thank you. We are set

:45:28. > :45:33.for some more fireworks here. Just applauding the gymnasts as they are

:45:34. > :45:45.all being introduced to the crowd. Barreto Junior from Brazil has

:45:46. > :45:52.almost taken the roof off. Larduet will be the last but one. Our hearts

:45:53. > :45:58.are beating to the question of whether ridden could get another

:45:59. > :46:02.medal. Interestingly, the first three gymnasts up onto the high bar

:46:03. > :46:04.are the three highest qualifiers, so we will get a really good idea. Nile

:46:05. > :46:20.Wilson is the first of those three. I think Niall has got a great chance

:46:21. > :46:27.here. What you are about to witness is just the definition of

:46:28. > :46:32.spectacular. High releases, you have got to keep that swing going, that

:46:33. > :46:37.is the idea, Beth, and building up to an enormous dismount. This is the

:46:38. > :46:41.most exciting piece to watch on the mend's. The releases that they are

:46:42. > :46:49.doing, there is a very small fraction of can it go wrong, can it

:46:50. > :46:53.go right? Epke Zonderland won it in 2012, but this first guy up, flabby

:46:54. > :46:59.and Hamburg general, he has got a huge routine. It will be an

:47:00. > :47:05.interesting one. -- Fabian Hambuechen. He has taken time out,

:47:06. > :47:14.he is the highest qualifier and this is all or nothing. Brace yourselves

:47:15. > :47:19.everyone. It is time for the mend's high bar Olympic final. Fabian

:47:20. > :47:25.Hambuechen will be the first ago. He has got an Olympic bronze, and

:47:26. > :47:55.Olympic silver, can he bag Olympic gold?

:47:56. > :48:55.He scored a 15.666 in the team final.

:48:56. > :49:06.So, this is the slow motion replay. Double twist in the double straight

:49:07. > :49:11.somersaults. The finish of a very secure routine. A little pace back

:49:12. > :49:18.there. That will cost him a couple of tenths of a second but he has

:49:19. > :49:38.thrown the gauntlet down. And that is a big opening score. 7.3

:49:39. > :49:42.in difficulty. We wondered if he would go a little bit higher in the

:49:43. > :49:46.difficulties score. He stayed at the 7.3. That is certainly a score to

:49:47. > :49:59.beat. Epke Zonderland now, 30 years old,

:50:00. > :50:02.Olympic champion in London, two times world champion. His routine is

:50:03. > :50:33.full of risk. He is off. I think he is OK. He is

:50:34. > :50:42.up of the matter. We said it was full of risk. The thing is, you have

:50:43. > :50:47.to catch these releases at absolute full trek if you are going to go in

:50:48. > :50:54.to the next element and you can see fingertips only. He did not have the

:50:55. > :51:01.whole of the hand over. What a shame for him. This is the thing with high

:51:02. > :51:07.bar. You go all out. You push the limit of what is physically possible

:51:08. > :51:14.and we are talking fingertip stuff. And when you are connecting you need

:51:15. > :51:19.to catch at full stretch. He was really looking for that so he can go

:51:20. > :51:31.for the connection. He does it again and manages to hang on this time.

:51:32. > :51:43.A nice squat with full turn to handstand and again with half. Now

:51:44. > :51:50.winding up into the dismount. A double twist, double straight. A

:51:51. > :51:56.fine example of what a gymnast is capable of. And to actually get back

:51:57. > :52:04.on after taking a fall like that and still do the double somersaults, a

:52:05. > :52:07.dismount like that, what a disappointment for him? Huge

:52:08. > :52:19.disappointment. He wanted to defend his title. It will be almost

:52:20. > :52:30.impossible now. He did land quite uncomfortably. Secure an all use

:52:31. > :52:37.terms. -- on all these terms. A Sabre well rehearsed dismount but

:52:38. > :52:47.one hole mark. And such a character in the world of gymnastics. You may

:52:48. > :52:52.not believe it if I tell you he is a doctor now. He has achieved so much

:52:53. > :52:56.things in his career while studying hard for medicine. Fabian Hambuechen

:52:57. > :53:03.will continue to lead this competition. The next gymnast to go

:53:04. > :53:07.will be Nile Wilson from Great Britain. Epke Zonderland was the

:53:08. > :53:24.third highest qualifier. Fabian Hambuechen put in a big score

:53:25. > :53:29.than he did in qualifying. Danell Leyva is entering the arena now,

:53:30. > :53:37.having warmed up separately. He was part of the parallel bars medal

:53:38. > :53:42.ceremony. Eight gymnast in the final so if you are one of the first two,

:53:43. > :53:51.you stay in the arena, but not otherwise.

:53:52. > :53:59.Time now to focus in on Nile Wilson. He is the current European high bar

:54:00. > :54:09.champion and Commonwealth champion. What can he achieve here?

:54:10. > :54:21.Nile also has to go for broke. He has to do huge releases to the

:54:22. > :54:34.maximum. He catches almost perfectly.

:54:35. > :54:54.A squat with half term. Here is the big Tkachev. And another release and

:54:55. > :55:14.catch. Double twisting, double straight.

:55:15. > :55:19.Goodlad! What a routine! That is going to challenge. He was building

:55:20. > :55:26.the difficulty all the way through and that was a very strong bid for

:55:27. > :55:31.an Olympic medal. It was indeed and what a cool customer. He is

:55:32. > :55:36.aggressive and determined, but he has never been up in an Olympic

:55:37. > :55:41.final before. They only happen once every four years, and by no that is

:55:42. > :55:46.what sounds obvious, but it ramps up the pressure. You know in four

:55:47. > :55:54.years' time you will be older. Who knows what will happen. A beautiful

:55:55. > :55:58.fall through the air. He is a stylish gymnast. Really

:55:59. > :56:02.well-trained. One of the next generation of British gymnasts

:56:03. > :56:07.coming along. I think he loves these competitions. He takes gymnastics to

:56:08. > :56:12.the next level under an enormous amount of pressure. That is what

:56:13. > :56:16.sets the big guys apart. That is something which cannot be coached

:56:17. > :56:21.in, down, it is something you have the heart for like we saw with Amy

:56:22. > :56:34.Tinkler. He gives nothing away on the dismount.

:56:35. > :56:54.Five gymnasts left to go in this high bar final, the next of which is

:56:55. > :57:01.Samuel Mikulak. You always know there will be fireworks when the

:57:02. > :57:07.American team are in town. Is certainly looks impressive but as

:57:08. > :57:16.far as the difficulty is concerned, the American slightly down? Yes. It

:57:17. > :57:24.will be interesting to see how he can do in the final and if he can

:57:25. > :57:33.get into the medals. He is the fourth gymnast in this high bar

:57:34. > :57:41.final. Lots and lots of energy in this routine. The first full twist

:57:42. > :58:09.in the somersault over. There is the second.

:58:10. > :58:19.A full turn. A big action winding up. A big dismount. A little hop on

:58:20. > :58:30.the landing. That looked a big routine to me. You say a little hop

:58:31. > :58:44.on landing but those little hops are the things which can decide medals?

:58:45. > :58:53.I like the technique where he created the twist. I suppose it

:58:54. > :59:06.leads used ill twisting when you read catch, Dan? I think that is a

:59:07. > :59:13.really good routine. I am not sure on the start value, but it did look

:59:14. > :59:25.quite big. A really clean half term. He had a 6.4 difficulty in

:59:26. > :59:28.qualification. He could have upped it a little bit. It is going to be

:59:29. > :59:38.very tight, this scoring. The score is in. Not enough to go ahead of

:59:39. > :59:48.Great Britain's Nile Wilson. Wilson still in two. Fabian Hambuechen

:59:49. > :59:53.leads this meant's high bar final. Four to go.

:59:54. > :00:17.Oleg Verniaiev. He was victorious on parallel bars.

:00:18. > :00:25.That was an unusual start. I think he wanted to get his release and

:00:26. > :00:33.catch done nice and early and out of the way in the routine.

:00:34. > :00:44.The squat connected with another big release and catch move.

:00:45. > :00:51.He was slightly off-line in the handstand but managed to save it. An

:00:52. > :01:00.extra swing will be quite costly to his Finnish score.

:01:01. > :01:11.Hands down. Good job he had his parallel bars gold. He will settle

:01:12. > :01:20.for that medal. It was not to be an high bar. Niall Hamlisch and will

:01:21. > :01:28.continue to lead. Nile Wilson will continue in second position --

:01:29. > :01:38.Fabian Hambuechen will continue to lead. Sam Mikulak will continue in

:01:39. > :01:43.third. I liked the releases. In the all-around he took a bit of a pace

:01:44. > :01:49.on landing, but that time, he just let go of the bar too early. He did.

:01:50. > :01:57.He has become Olympic champion on the parallel bars. I think he has

:01:58. > :02:02.maybe relaxed slightly too much. He is really quite tired.

:02:03. > :02:10.Hambuchen to be fair, he came for Olympic gold on the parallel bars.

:02:11. > :02:16.And a good fight on the all-around and he said he was happy to come

:02:17. > :02:27.second to the legend that is Uchimura. And you speak to him

:02:28. > :02:31.around the gym, and you say he is a very nice man. He takes effort to

:02:32. > :02:35.speak to everyone in the gym, one of the best in the world, and he is a

:02:36. > :02:39.really good guy. You can see the real camaraderie amongst all of the

:02:40. > :02:48.gymnasts on the floor. Everyone knows how hard you work to get at

:02:49. > :02:55.this level. And their is a respect for the high bars, you are putting

:02:56. > :03:00.yourself on the line -- there is. Three gymnasts left to go, can macro

:03:01. > :03:06.to hold on and get that high bar gold? Will Nile Wilson make history

:03:07. > :03:10.as the first Great Britain ever to make a medal on the high bar? -- can

:03:11. > :03:21.Hambuechen hold on and get that high bar gold? And can Barreto Junior put

:03:22. > :03:24.on the display that he once do in front of his home crowd and bring

:03:25. > :03:31.the house down here in the arena -- that he wants to? No doubt, the

:03:32. > :03:39.crowd will help him and be as silent as they can be. Yes, very

:03:40. > :03:51.knowledgeable crowd. Super one arm work. See how the swing changes,

:03:52. > :03:59.ready for the big return. There is the squat element with half turn.

:04:00. > :04:07.And again with the half turn. Another squat fall into a releasing

:04:08. > :04:19.catch. He is packing of this routine with a lot of difficulty. There is

:04:20. > :04:29.the Healy turn. The inverted grip. Now, here he goes. Winding up, a big

:04:30. > :04:35.kick. Stuck this man and a roar from the crowd and himself. What a show

:04:36. > :04:44.he put on! Not quite the same level of difficulty on the dismount. You

:04:45. > :04:50.think he may be up slightly on his difficulty? Yes, he did a six point

:04:51. > :04:59.out in qualifying and I am not too sure but he may have gone a little

:05:00. > :05:03.bit higher -- he did a 6.8. I am going to be pernickety and say the

:05:04. > :05:13.execution wasn't up to scratch as far as Nile Wilson and Hambuechen

:05:14. > :05:18.were concerned. And Mikulak. He has given the judges opportunity to take

:05:19. > :05:24.deductions. A little bit loose on the legs on some of the moves, but

:05:25. > :05:30.fabulous, exciting work and it is great to have a Brazilian in the

:05:31. > :05:42.final. Actually, the arena has been alive at every gymnastics event.

:05:43. > :05:50.There are now just two gymnasts left ago in these gymnastics finals. It

:05:51. > :05:54.really has the highest level of competition that we have ever

:05:55. > :05:59.witnessed -- left to go. It really has been a fantastic Olympic Games

:06:00. > :06:02.and, do you know, from different pockets of the world and we are

:06:03. > :06:07.going to see that again in a minute because we are going to see a

:06:08. > :06:11.gymnast from Cuba. At one time, it was a sport dominated by certain

:06:12. > :06:21.nations but it is really not now, it is a global affair. He is forth at

:06:22. > :06:25.the moment. 15.208 for Barreto Junior.

:06:26. > :06:37.So onto the Cuban gymnast Christine was just talking about, Manrique

:06:38. > :06:43.Larduet. At the World Championships, he really took us by surprise. Got

:06:44. > :07:03.into the high bar final there and he got a bronze medal. The highest

:07:04. > :07:07.score so far in Rio, 15 .166. He is a really explosive, exciting

:07:08. > :07:21.gymnast. Power personified. There is the squat with half turn,

:07:22. > :07:32.into another big one and a connection bonus, added to the

:07:33. > :07:44.difficulty score. Squat fall turn into a releasing catch. Nice one arm

:07:45. > :07:48.element. And here is the big dismount coming up.

:07:49. > :08:05.A double straight with triple twist. Well, keep your eye on the

:08:06. > :08:11.scoreboard! 15.4 for bronze. 15.466 fork silver. He was limping a little

:08:12. > :08:15.when he went with his coach to be called upon to the high bar. He

:08:16. > :08:27.pulled out of the all-around with an injury and it really showed

:08:28. > :08:33.determination to do that dismount, more than we have seen from anyone

:08:34. > :08:40.today. Very clean. Huge power, you can see just a little bit of a bent

:08:41. > :08:49.arm catch, but this is going to be very tight. There is the full term.

:08:50. > :08:55.-- fall turn. That was another catch that was quite close. But when you

:08:56. > :09:01.finish with a triple twisting straight, you ramp up the

:09:02. > :09:06.difficulty. One, two, three, and out. You could see the grimace,

:09:07. > :09:12.definite problems with that left ankle or foot.

:09:13. > :09:30.Just a reminder, 15.4 for bronze, 15.466, silver. 15.766 gold at the

:09:31. > :09:32.moment. Came into these championships as the

:09:33. > :09:41.silver-medallist at the last World Championships all-around. Nile

:09:42. > :09:43.Wilson can hardly look. He knows that if it is below his score, he is

:09:44. > :09:55.guaranteed at least a bronze. I don't think any of us here are

:09:56. > :10:05.confident enough to call anything on his routine. No, we have got to

:10:06. > :10:13.wait. The score is just about to be posted. It is a 15.033, which means

:10:14. > :10:19.Great Britain's Nile Wilson is guaranteed at least a bronze. He has

:10:20. > :10:22.made history. It has never been done before at the Olympics on high bar.

:10:23. > :10:34.Hambuechen is guaranteed at least a silver. Congratulations, Nile.

:10:35. > :10:40.Really good. Now, the gymnast, in this high bar final, Danell Leyva,

:10:41. > :10:48.already received a silver on the parallel bars today. The highest

:10:49. > :10:56.score he has posted in Rio so far is a 15.333. He was the fourth highest

:10:57. > :11:02.qualifier. And one of the most exciting gymnasts you will watch on

:11:03. > :11:13.the high bar. Starts with a full turn, into the Mochalov. Grinding up

:11:14. > :11:23.for his big release catch moves. And again. Bent arms on the long swing

:11:24. > :11:31.out of it, so big deductions. The one one half twist.

:11:32. > :11:40.Squat half, connected again with the term.

:11:41. > :11:54.Here is the dismount. He needs to land this on his feet. Hop back.

:11:55. > :12:01.Well, he got through without a ball, but there were some big deductions

:12:02. > :12:06.in there, Dan. His start value is huge, a 7-.3 start value which was

:12:07. > :12:10.posted in qualifications, but there were some deductions. We already

:12:11. > :12:15.know Nile is guaranteed a medal, it is just whether it is silver or

:12:16. > :12:19.bronze. I don't think any of those gymnasts than their can bear to

:12:20. > :12:28.look, it is so tight. Such flair on that first element, that first over

:12:29. > :12:42.the bar, and the straight somersault over, he flares his arms out, making

:12:43. > :12:52.it look so easy. Big releases. And the very last element, what a final.

:12:53. > :12:56.Well, team USA are guaranteed a bronze because his team-mate Mikulak

:12:57. > :13:04.is currently in that bronze medal position with a score of 15.4, but

:13:05. > :13:10.which American will take bronze? I am saying that, like he won't get

:13:11. > :13:20.ahead of Nile Wilson, but we will have to wait and see. Nile, 15.466.

:13:21. > :13:26.It will not be enough to go ahead of Hambuechen but he may just pip Nile.

:13:27. > :13:32.The score is coming in. It is in. It is a score of 15.5, so he does go

:13:33. > :13:38.into silver medal position. Nile Wilson from Great Britain will take

:13:39. > :13:42.the bronze medal, the Olympic champion is Fabian Hambuechen. He

:13:43. > :13:47.has had a bronze at the Olympics, is silver and now he is Olympic

:13:48. > :13:51.champion. Danell Leyva gets his second silver of the day but Nile

:13:52. > :14:01.Wilson makes history for Great Britain as the first ever gymnast to

:14:02. > :14:11.medal at the Olympics on high bar. What an Olympics Great Britain have

:14:12. > :14:16.had. It... I can't believe I am seeing this. Medal, the medal, the

:14:17. > :14:21.medal. Seven medals now across gymnastics and we never thought we

:14:22. > :14:27.would get anywhere near that. The target was 3-5 medals and seven

:14:28. > :14:32.medals, that shows how strong our team is across the board. Seven

:14:33. > :14:38.medals for them Britain and Nile Wilson is one of them -- for Great

:14:39. > :14:42.Britain. Spalding 15.5. From Team GB at the

:14:43. > :14:46.gymnastics, we will be back for more reaction later. In the women's

:14:47. > :14:51.football, Brazil missed the second and fourth of their penalties, which

:14:52. > :14:57.meant this chance to win it. Read on. Sweden are through to the gold

:14:58. > :15:02.medal match, they will play either Canada or Germany -- win it for

:15:03. > :15:07.Sweden. Real disappointment for the fans in Brazil but look at Sweden

:15:08. > :15:12.celebrate a great result for them. We have seen bronze medals for Amy

:15:13. > :15:16.Tinkler and Nile Wilson today in gymnastics. Will we see more for the

:15:17. > :15:24.Team GB's cyclists? We will have the women's Sprint final coming up, the

:15:25. > :15:28.omnium for Laura Trott, the keirin for Jason Kenny and Laura Trott will

:15:29. > :15:30.finish off with the points race. It is going to be a golden night ahead,

:15:31. > :15:43.we hope. And Olympic silver medal for Becky

:15:44. > :15:48.James in the women's keirin. Through in straight rides to the semifinal

:15:49. > :15:55.of the women's Sprint. Katy Marchant a joint Becky James in the last

:15:56. > :15:58.four. -- joins Becky James. Jason Kenny is the Olympic sprint

:15:59. > :16:05.champion, it is gold now back at the rate medal number five. A scorching

:16:06. > :16:09.ride in the men's keirin -- gold medal number five. Laura Trott, the

:16:10. > :16:16.first ever British woman to win three Olympic gold medals. She is

:16:17. > :16:19.masterful, nobody can touch her. Spalding 15.5 it really is exciting.

:16:20. > :16:36.This is how the timings work out. CLAIRE BALDING: final the race in

:16:37. > :16:44.the women's omnium, Laura Trott will be raising over 25 kilometres and

:16:45. > :16:49.picking up points in sprints along the way, before we have the finale

:16:50. > :16:53.of the women's Sprint and the men's keirin. Sir Chris Hoy is alongside

:16:54. > :16:56.me and we are going to start by shifting back in time a few moments

:16:57. > :17:01.and bring you up-to-date with the semifinals of the women's Sprint.

:17:02. > :17:06.Becky James was in the first of these and there are different

:17:07. > :17:09.tactics you can use, you can go home early or pants and weight and she

:17:10. > :17:24.decided to go for early against the Dutch rider Elis Ligtlee.

:17:25. > :17:30.She rode to her strengths here. We will join commentary from Chris

:17:31. > :17:53.Boardman and Simon Brotherton. Two laps to go. The speed is rising

:17:54. > :18:01.now. Becky James increases the speed to counter. She is quick to respond

:18:02. > :18:13.to the increase in pace of the Dutch as the bell goes. She is closing

:18:14. > :18:24.into the slipstream. It is going to be close. She takes the first race.

:18:25. > :18:30.Nip and tuck all the way. Becky James leading from the front and

:18:31. > :18:34.making sure her front wheel stays in front of Elis Ligtlee as they go

:18:35. > :18:36.over the line and she is now one win away from going for gold in the best

:18:37. > :18:49.of three semifinal. A pretty convincing win therefore

:18:50. > :19:06.Becky James who would be the favourite? I think she would be.

:19:07. > :19:16.But Kristina Vogel has the experience. The next race featured

:19:17. > :19:22.Katie Marchand, Becky's team-mate against Kristina Vogel of Germany.

:19:23. > :19:32.Katie Marchand in her first Olympic Games. A draw here against Kristina

:19:33. > :19:38.Vogel. She has looked better and better as the competition has gone

:19:39. > :19:41.on, Vogel. She will try and keep Marchand guessing all the way

:19:42. > :20:08.through. This particular semifinal is moving

:20:09. > :20:18.at a fair rolled lick here. She has got to switch tactics now. Kristina

:20:19. > :20:23.Vogel leading out. Katy Marchant with work to do in this first

:20:24. > :20:28.semifinal. She has to put her nose in front of the finishing straight

:20:29. > :20:35.and she has not quite managed to do it. Kristina Vogel from Germany

:20:36. > :20:39.takes the early lead in this semi. So Katy Marchant is going to have to

:20:40. > :20:46.win the second of those races to take it to a decider. What would you

:20:47. > :20:52.say now if you had the chance? She has greater top speed but Kristina

:20:53. > :20:55.Vogel is so smart and to use all the tactical mouth there, it was

:20:56. > :20:59.incredible. She wants to get to the front, control her and if you saw

:21:00. > :21:04.she went out of the sprinter's lane, Vogel did, which I thought might

:21:05. > :21:09.have incurred a penalty, but because Katie was not next to her about

:21:10. > :21:22.time, it did not impede her progress. Because she wasn't on her

:21:23. > :21:31.wheel, it did not affect the result. All credit to Vogel, that was a

:21:32. > :21:37.pretty smart ride. So Vogel goes 1-0 up, Becky James is 1-0 up.

:21:38. > :21:43.Meanwhile, in the gymnastics, Amy Tinkler, just 16 years old, has been

:21:44. > :21:47.collecting a bronze medal after the floor competition. A stunning result

:21:48. > :21:52.for her. She is the youngest member of the British team. She showed such

:21:53. > :21:58.composure. Simone Biles took the gold medal. Her fourth of the Games.

:21:59. > :22:05.But for Amy Tinkler this is a moment she will never forget. There is more

:22:06. > :22:08.to come. What can she do in four years' time? This is what she said

:22:09. > :22:12.afterwards. Six weeks ago you were sitting your

:22:13. > :22:18.GCSEs and now we have a bronze medal. What is going through your

:22:19. > :22:24.head? I honestly don't have a clue. It is so one real. I am in total

:22:25. > :22:36.shock. When you did that routine, did you think that could be a medal

:22:37. > :22:39.or did you think it would be a fourth or fifth place? My coach said

:22:40. > :22:43.you have nothing to lose, go out there and enjoy it and that is what

:22:44. > :22:46.I did. I knew I had done the best routine I could. You are only the

:22:47. > :22:48.second woman ever to win an Olympic medal for Great Britain lost you are

:22:49. > :22:53.up there with the likes of Beth Tweddle and you are not even 17 yet.

:22:54. > :23:00.You seem so at home on the biggest stage of all. Love competing in

:23:01. > :23:06.front of big crowds as well. It is just incredible. I am so shocked! I

:23:07. > :23:10.can see you are shocked, you can hardly speak! Have you got your

:23:11. > :23:16.friends and family here to watch you? Yes, I have got my coaches and

:23:17. > :23:22.my family. I want to thank everyone for their support in the last few

:23:23. > :23:26.years. It has been amazing. And you could be back in Tokyo winning

:23:27. > :23:33.another bronze or even better? Yes, I definitely want to go to Tokyo.

:23:34. > :23:38.Wendy get your GCSE results? I get them the day I arrived home from Rio

:23:39. > :23:43.so I have got that to look forward to now as well! Well done. That is

:23:44. > :23:51.amazing, she will go home and wait for her GCSE results! Great stuff

:23:52. > :23:55.from the gymnastics team. Now, the leading light in British cycling at

:23:56. > :23:56.the moment is Laura Trott and tonight, she could win her fourth

:23:57. > :24:17.Olympic gold medal. With success does come expectation.

:24:18. > :24:26.I never believed I would go to 2012. I was all of a sudden a double

:24:27. > :24:31.Olympic champion. Laura Trott, her second gold medal. People were now

:24:32. > :24:41.expecting me to win. Before London, I didn't have that. It was hard. It

:24:42. > :24:48.is pressure for myself. You expect yourself to win. When I walk into

:24:49. > :24:58.that velodrome, I realise this is happening. I just want to get on the

:24:59. > :25:02.start line and do that race. When I get on my bike, the minute I am sat

:25:03. > :25:12.there with my helmet on, that is it, I am ready.

:25:13. > :25:21.In London, she won the team pursuit and the omnium. In Rio so far she is

:25:22. > :25:23.leading the omnium. This is her she has built up her advantage over the

:25:24. > :25:36.others. Away we go. Very cool, calm and

:25:37. > :25:39.collected on the opening stages. Excellent competition from Laura

:25:40. > :25:51.Trott. First over the line in that sprint. Second in position in the

:25:52. > :26:00.omnium. She is riding beautifully here so far. She is eating up the

:26:01. > :26:05.ground. What time will she pose? A sensational one! Individual pursuit

:26:06. > :26:09.in from the very top drawer. We are under way in the elimination

:26:10. > :26:16.race. This is her favourite discipline. The sprint is on down

:26:17. > :26:27.the back straight. Once more, Laura Trott shows she is masterful! Away

:26:28. > :26:34.they go. The two riders in the gold and silver medal positions. Laura

:26:35. > :26:38.Trott really needs to dig in. The second fastest time for Laura

:26:39. > :26:58.chopped. Laura Trott is leading this omnium. And these are the standings

:26:59. > :27:02.after four of the six races. Laura Trott is the most extraordinary

:27:03. > :27:06.athlete and even more so, when you consider she was born prematurely

:27:07. > :27:16.with a collapsed lung and spend the first 6.5 weeks of her life on a

:27:17. > :27:20.ventilator. They do say premature babies are fighters. She was born at

:27:21. > :27:26.the same stage as my son, Callum, so hopefully that bodes well for him.

:27:27. > :27:31.She is a minimum. She is in control of this omnium event. She has the

:27:32. > :27:36.flying lap to come. They go in reverse order. She will be lost to

:27:37. > :27:41.go. She will know what she has to beat. How fast is she? She is not a

:27:42. > :27:48.pure sprinter but there will be one or two athletes in the field here.

:27:49. > :27:54.Perhaps Annie-macro from Australia, who specialises in the faster stuff,

:27:55. > :28:00.but she will not lose massive ground here -- Annette Edmondson. 20 points

:28:01. > :28:06.from her and she will be in a great position going into the points race.

:28:07. > :28:12.They have 3.5 laps but they go for it over the last 250 metres. The

:28:13. > :28:16.last lap has to be really quick. The New Zealander Lauren Ellis is

:28:17. > :28:27.currently on the track. Here is Simon. Hello, everyone. She

:28:28. > :28:39.is eighth quickest so far. Performing par at the moment the

:28:40. > :28:41.rider from New Zealand. The next rider will be lorry berth on from

:28:42. > :28:52.France. She has been performing well here.

:28:53. > :29:03.This will be an important event for her. This is her favourite event.

:29:04. > :29:15.She is one that away from her flying lap. She will wind it up before

:29:16. > :29:22.hitting the line at top speed. It is 250 metres around the back line.

:29:23. > :29:28.They use the height. Curve right the way down along the straight, trigger

:29:29. > :29:33.the time on the finishing line. It is a close run thing on the time

:29:34. > :29:44.checks, and now it looks like she is in pole position. Laurie Berthon

:29:45. > :29:51.goes to the top of the leaderboard of the 13 riders from 18 who have

:29:52. > :29:59.been out there in this thing of end of six. That was nearly half a

:30:00. > :30:14.kilometre and our faster in that race. She was delighted and so she

:30:15. > :30:19.should be. Kirsten Wild is a good road sprinter. We saw her in

:30:20. > :30:29.Yorkshire earlier this year. She is from the Netherlands. Fifth overall

:30:30. > :30:35.going into this round. This final wind up coming a little bit late,

:30:36. > :30:44.perhaps. You have to be at maximum lead to hit the line. A good all

:30:45. > :30:53.round rider. She will come into the finishing straight.

:30:54. > :31:07.She is second fastest at the moment. I think she will be pleased with

:31:08. > :31:17.that. Edmondson running up -- coming up. She loves this event. She

:31:18. > :31:22.certainly does. Here is Annette Edmondson from Adelaide. She got the

:31:23. > :31:27.bronze four years ago in London. Her brother Alex was in the team pursuit

:31:28. > :31:30.final against Great Britain. What an epic final that was with Britain

:31:31. > :31:45.coming in on top. This is the point you have to wind

:31:46. > :31:50.it up and get everything out. She has got better and better as the

:31:51. > :31:56.competition has worn on. Can she get her nose in front in this one and go

:31:57. > :31:58.for back-to-back event victories? Can she posed the fastest time? Yes,

:31:59. > :32:11.she can! It took are a better time to get

:32:12. > :32:15.that big gear going, but she will be absolutely delighted with that.

:32:16. > :32:19.Expect her to maybe be top five in this event but she is pushing to be

:32:20. > :32:26.even better still. Very, very consistent in the women's omnium. I

:32:27. > :32:33.gold, silver and two medals in this single event and also in the team

:32:34. > :32:49.pursuit. Next up, Sarah Hammer from the United States, on the track

:32:50. > :32:58.already. Then it is Joe Lee and endorse -- Joe Lee indoors and then

:32:59. > :33:07.it will be Laura Trott. . Her timed effort start now. Scorching around

:33:08. > :33:12.the bottom of the track. Not the most stylish of cyclists, but get

:33:13. > :33:20.every ounce of effort out of her body, time and time again. Fourth

:33:21. > :33:24.quickest. Not too bad, on par with form but she needed to do something

:33:25. > :33:31.special, she has been losing ground to Laura Trott and I think she is

:33:32. > :33:37.going to lose a bit more. Sarah Hammer the fourth quickest so far.

:33:38. > :33:49.Annette Edmondson still leading the way, jolly -- Jolien d'Hoore now,

:33:50. > :33:56.very much in the hunt for the silver medal position. Probably should get

:33:57. > :34:03.pipped by Hammer in this according to the form book but we will have to

:34:04. > :34:06.wait and see. Jolien d'Hoore halfway down the back straight, are very

:34:07. > :34:14.good ride on the road as well in the women's peloton. -- a very good

:34:15. > :34:20.rider. Solid wind-up, leaving it a little bit late. Also, for quite a

:34:21. > :34:24.big gear strategy but she has wound it up now. Riding it extremely

:34:25. > :34:29.quickly, it was a good first time check and she is going to post a

:34:30. > :34:35.good time, Jolien d'Hoore. It won't be the fastest, faded a little in

:34:36. > :34:37.the closing metres. So Jolien d'Hoore, sixth fastest, she will

:34:38. > :34:44.lose a little bit of ground potentially to some of her rivals

:34:45. > :34:50.now. But one rider to go, Laura Trott of Great Britain, the leader

:34:51. > :34:54.in the gold medal position. Plenty of British spectators inside the

:34:55. > :35:00.velodrome here in Rio. Enormous chainring that she has on this bike,

:35:01. > :35:03.she has had it throughout this competition, the British going for a

:35:04. > :35:09.big gear strategy. And she has put it to good use so far, hasn't she?

:35:10. > :35:19.Very compact, those handlebars probably less than 30 centimetres

:35:20. > :35:24.wide to get as tucked up possible. -- as possible. Seconds away from

:35:25. > :35:28.her flying lap. The last rider to go out, here we go, Laura Trott on her

:35:29. > :35:33.flying lap in the penultimate event in the women's omnium. Halfway down

:35:34. > :35:37.the back straight and she is going really quickly here. This is a

:35:38. > :35:42.stupendous ride from Laura Trott. Can she hold the speed, can she

:35:43. > :35:50.carry it over the line? Yes! Stunning from Laura Trott. It

:35:51. > :35:54.doesn't look like there isn't anything she can't do, she looks to

:35:55. > :36:00.be on top in virtually every discipline and she is in such good

:36:01. > :36:04.form, it is hard to know how to canter that -- counter that. It

:36:05. > :36:09.seems that everything everyone can do, she can do a little bit better.

:36:10. > :36:18.Pushing her lead out a little further, 196 points after this ride.

:36:19. > :36:22.Jolien d'Hoore at 172, tied with Sarah Hammer. So it is still

:36:23. > :36:26.possible to beat Laura Trott but she has given herself a real bother

:36:27. > :36:31.going into the last event. Lots of points on offer in the final event,

:36:32. > :36:34.we saw that with Mark Cavendish yesterday, things can change but

:36:35. > :36:39.Laura Trott could not realistically be in a better position than the one

:36:40. > :36:45.she finds herself in now. She leads the way with just one event to go.

:36:46. > :36:51.Absolutely the form of her life. We saw it in the team pursuit, where

:36:52. > :36:55.she did two lap turns and in every discipline she has ridden so far.

:36:56. > :36:59.Just one more to go before we see whether she will take that gold

:37:00. > :37:00.medal. I have never seen Laura Trott riding better than she has done this

:37:01. > :37:14.week here in Rio. CLAIRE BALDING: phenomenal from

:37:15. > :37:19.Laura Trott, not a natural speed cyclist but yet she is faster than

:37:20. > :37:23.everyone else. Laura's team-mate has joined us. Chris Lloyd was saying he

:37:24. > :37:30.expected her to go well but was everybody surprised at how well? I

:37:31. > :37:36.expected her to do that. I thought she would be the other girls based

:37:37. > :37:40.on what they have done before. That was a PB, I think, she has been

:37:41. > :37:45.close to that in training so judging by her form this week, I knew it

:37:46. > :37:49.would be good. She is a very fast rider. She normally tends to prefer

:37:50. > :37:54.the 500 to the flying lap, but she has been working hard and it has

:37:55. > :37:59.paid off. You are sharing an apartment with her. Becky James and

:38:00. > :38:04.Katy Marchant in the same apartment? Yes, it is a bit of a beauty salon,

:38:05. > :38:08.nail machines, hairstyling, everything, keeping people

:38:09. > :38:11.distracted between racing. But you are also, all of you, absolutely

:38:12. > :38:17.committed to your racing. You see Laura here finishing off her flying

:38:18. > :38:22.lap. She put so much effort in but makes it look easy, I know it is a

:38:23. > :38:26.contradiction. That is the key thing, getting all the effort that

:38:27. > :38:29.but looking smooth and if you see Sarah Hammer, she is relatively

:38:30. > :38:34.speaking ragged on the bike, she is effective but uses a lot of energy

:38:35. > :38:37.moving her body around. Laura is very aerodynamic and smooth, the

:38:38. > :38:43.power is in the pedals. I wonder what Jason Kenny was doing while

:38:44. > :38:47.that race was on, here is Gill. He was looking at the big screen, in

:38:48. > :38:53.the centre of the track, warming up for the second round of the keirin.

:38:54. > :39:00.Six gold medal in his sights, he is looking very calm and collected and

:39:01. > :39:04.when he saw the time she posted, a huge smile on his face. Can you

:39:05. > :39:08.imagine what it is like for them today? A huge smile when Laura got

:39:09. > :39:13.that fantastic time but now he has to switch and focus on his event.

:39:14. > :39:16.They could become the most successful Olympic couple in

:39:17. > :39:21.history. Meanwhile, the action continues. This is the second of the

:39:22. > :39:26.sprint semifinals. Becky James won the first and if she wins this, it

:39:27. > :39:33.won't even go to a decider. Here is Simon.

:39:34. > :39:41.The camera on the back of the Dutch rider's bike, giving us a rider's

:39:42. > :39:47.view or a rear seat view, anyway. Looking back towards Becky James. It

:39:48. > :39:53.is the last chance for Ligtlee if she wants to keep her chances of a

:39:54. > :39:57.gold medal alive. Becky James, one win away from reaching the Olympic

:39:58. > :40:03.final and that guarantee of at least a silver medal. James happy to stay

:40:04. > :40:07.in the second position at the moment, not getting drawn into a

:40:08. > :40:14.battle for the lead. She doesn't want this to be a long drag race

:40:15. > :40:20.with somebody like literally. She has got to really wind it up to a

:40:21. > :40:23.good peak speed, James is the sharper of the two, good

:40:24. > :40:29.acceleration. Needs to find a way to use that there, Ligtlee going to the

:40:30. > :40:34.top of the track, trying to tempt James to go underneath. She has done

:40:35. > :40:39.so well to come back to this level in the space of 12 months, Becky

:40:40. > :40:45.James, after illness and a career threatening knee injury. James

:40:46. > :40:50.keeping it high, Ligtlee countering by increasing the speed but James

:40:51. > :40:53.not being drawn in. She is going about four kilometres Brouwer faster

:40:54. > :41:00.but going the long way around. They take the bell. Becky James looks to

:41:01. > :41:04.go around the outside and pass Elis Ligtlee and she has got herself into

:41:05. > :41:09.the pole position. She could be riding her way into the Olympic

:41:10. > :41:14.final. Ligtlee trailing in her wake, no match at all as Becky James races

:41:15. > :41:19.through in straight rides and looking unstoppable, to the Olympic

:41:20. > :41:25.final. She is guaranteed silver but she is going for gold. And at time

:41:26. > :41:32.of 10.9 gives you an idea of how quick that was. -- that time.

:41:33. > :41:36.Ligtlee, we have in the form she has had, already got a gold medal and

:41:37. > :41:42.Becky James just rode away from her there. To beat a rider as good as

:41:43. > :41:49.Elis Ligtlee as comprehensively as bad, I think it will make even

:41:50. > :41:54.Kristina Vogel take notice. It will be a tough match but we do not know

:41:55. > :41:57.who it is going to be just yet. Katy Marchant has still got an

:41:58. > :42:03.opportunity to get herself into that final but she has the toughest

:42:04. > :42:07.competition in Kristina Vogel. But James is through, Ligtlee the first

:42:08. > :42:11.to congratulate her. There was nothing she could do against that

:42:12. > :42:17.today. So Ligtlee will race for the bronze medal and the tables were

:42:18. > :42:23.turned their, Becky James finished second to Ligtlee in that keirin

:42:24. > :42:27.final, beating her in straight rides. So for the second time, in

:42:28. > :42:30.these best of three races, Becky James through in straight rides,

:42:31. > :42:36.which saves your legs, not having to go to a third one. If you count your

:42:37. > :42:40.way back through the competition, she has done the minimum she needed

:42:41. > :42:44.to do. The qualifying ride she posted was remarkable and it has

:42:45. > :42:48.paid dividends, giving her a good seed all the way through. It is

:42:49. > :42:54.great to see her at the top of her game, she was the champion in 2013,

:42:55. > :42:57.she won the sprint and the keirin in Minsk but has had all sorts of

:42:58. > :43:02.problems since then. They're coming back to form at just the right time.

:43:03. > :43:05.Let's turn our attention to Katy Marchant, from Yorkshire, who has

:43:06. > :43:10.performed so well here in her first Olympic Games. This is her last

:43:11. > :43:17.chance to stay in contention for the gold-medal herself, with Becky James

:43:18. > :43:22.now waiting in the final. She is trailing 1-0 and needs to beat

:43:23. > :43:26.Kristina Vogel here, but Kristina Vogel, an Olympic gold-medallist

:43:27. > :43:30.four years ago in the team Sprint, seven times a world track champion.

:43:31. > :43:36.That is the task that is facing Katy Marchant now. We should remember

:43:37. > :43:40.that Katy Marchant, just 23 years of age, first Olympic Games. The way

:43:41. > :43:44.she has performed here, it has already been a success for her. Just

:43:45. > :43:49.to get to this position, riding with the best in the world and matching

:43:50. > :43:55.them, going toe to toe, it has been a delight to watch and let's see how

:43:56. > :43:59.much further she can go. And this is a rider who only made her World Cup

:44:00. > :44:03.debut for Great Britain last year, so it has been a steep learning

:44:04. > :44:09.curve for her, the former heptathlete. I suppose when a lot of

:44:10. > :44:13.your training sessions are against the likes of Bezy ??DELETE Becky

:44:14. > :44:19.James, you measure yourself against the very best -- Becky James. But

:44:20. > :44:24.Vogel is coming good in this competition, knows all the tricks of

:44:25. > :44:27.the trade. Maybe she is benefiting in the same way that I think Jason

:44:28. > :44:33.Kenny better fitted early in his career with the presence of Sir

:44:34. > :44:36.Chris Hoy alongside him every day in training -- benefited early in his

:44:37. > :44:43.career. The pair of their meeting in the sprint final in Beijing. That is

:44:44. > :44:45.why they call the Manchester velodrome the "Medal factory"

:44:46. > :44:50.because they train against each other day in, day out, measuring

:44:51. > :44:57.themselves against gold-medallists in pretty much every event. It keeps

:44:58. > :45:02.the standard side. Vogel, I think, will be happy to leave this one. She

:45:03. > :45:09.will try and control Marchand, try and draw her rain and not let her

:45:10. > :45:14.drag it into an outer now drag race. Katy Marchant the qualifier how fast

:45:15. > :45:19.she can go if she is allowed to ride her own race. It will be tough. She

:45:20. > :45:24.does have the speed to do it in the race pans out in the way for her.

:45:25. > :45:28.James' tactics could be mirrored, the way she didn't allow herself to

:45:29. > :45:31.be dictated to and went for the overtake in the bend, which is

:45:32. > :45:36.unusual. Let's see if she will try and mirror that move. Katy Marchant

:45:37. > :45:41.into the final lap against Kristina Vogel. She has to get her nose in

:45:42. > :45:44.front to stay in with a chance. Slowly closing the gap. Getting

:45:45. > :45:50.closer to the German's back wheel. Can she draw level, can she get

:45:51. > :45:55.ahead? Not quite this time. Beaten in straight rides by Kristina Vogel

:45:56. > :45:59.but no disgrace in that, because Vogel is such a good track rider,

:46:00. > :46:04.multiple world champion but Katy Marchant will go for bronze against

:46:05. > :46:08.Ligtlee of the Netherlands. It is Vogel against James for gold but

:46:09. > :46:12.Katy Marchant has performed far, far better than anyone could have hoped

:46:13. > :46:17.that these Olympic Games. I think it will be mixed emotions on this one,

:46:18. > :46:21.I think she can be proud of herself and, of course, she still has a

:46:22. > :46:25.medal to fight for and she has a very good chance of taking home a

:46:26. > :46:32.bronze here. It was always going to be tough to get the better of

:46:33. > :46:39.Kristina Vogel. And so it proved. Beaten in straight rides, so Great

:46:40. > :46:44.Britain going for gold and bronze. British interest does remain in the

:46:45. > :46:48.women's sprint competition, with Katy Marchant going for bronze and

:46:49. > :46:54.Becky James there, her thoughts turning to that final and the fact

:46:55. > :46:57.that she will be faced facing Kristina Vogel.

:46:58. > :47:01.CLAIRE BALDING: and Becky James will be fully prepared. Another word on

:47:02. > :47:05.Katy Marchant, it is extraordinary that four years ago, she was

:47:06. > :47:11.competing as an athlete in the world Junior athletics championship. Tony

:47:12. > :47:15.Minichiello said he thought she was good on the bike and here she is,

:47:16. > :47:21.the chance of a bronze medal at the Olympics.

:47:22. > :47:27.Her progress over the last few years has been really interesting to

:47:28. > :47:36.watch. There are so many tactics involved. She has been playing catch

:47:37. > :47:40.up in that sense. You have seen her grow as a competitor over the last

:47:41. > :47:46.two years. To make it into the bronze medal final I think is

:47:47. > :47:52.phenomenal. We are used to seeing athletes going to other sports in

:47:53. > :48:01.the winter sports from others like skeleton. With the time trial, it is

:48:02. > :48:08.very controlled and measurable. But to come to an event like the sprint,

:48:09. > :48:15.it is so impressive. I think a lot of it is a credit to the coaches as

:48:16. > :48:22.well, to be able to fast track the process and accelerate the process,

:48:23. > :48:27.you have to have the right approach and Katy clearly has that.

:48:28. > :48:32.Meanwhile, Becky James will go through to the gold medal race. This

:48:33. > :48:37.is the man we will focus on now, Jason Kenny. He will be in the key

:48:38. > :48:40.ring next. If he comes into the top three he will be into the gold medal

:48:41. > :48:55.race -- the Kieron. It is a tough event to explain to a

:48:56. > :49:00.cyclist but in truth it is hard to explain for those involved. It is

:49:01. > :49:11.essentially a mass start for seven riders. Competitors draw lots. They

:49:12. > :49:16.are led by a small motorbike for the first laps. The riders must stay

:49:17. > :49:27.together and are not allowed to pass the motorbike until it pulls off.

:49:28. > :49:36.Three .5 laps that the pointed end is very expensive. The tough

:49:37. > :49:40.position is at the back. Few can get around multiple riders. Second we'll

:49:41. > :49:46.is the most favoured but there is the constant danger of getting

:49:47. > :49:52.botched in. There is the trickiest of all manoeuvres, passing on the

:49:53. > :49:57.inside. A big betting sport in Japan, it used to be a high-speed

:49:58. > :50:02.affair with multiple crashes but in recent years it has been somewhat

:50:03. > :50:07.sanitised. The speed has been brought in line and no rider to

:50:08. > :50:12.rider contact is allowed. We might be mystified by the format but it is

:50:13. > :50:19.still not an event for the faint-hearted. The last few seconds

:50:20. > :50:25.of the keirin can be spectacular. Now you know how it works, let's see

:50:26. > :50:33.if Jason Kenny could be in the first semifinal.

:50:34. > :50:43.They are almost ready to go. There is the little motorbike. The gun

:50:44. > :50:48.will fire and then the eight laps will begin. Jason Kenny is the

:50:49. > :50:55.second rider from the right-hand side and away they go. There is a

:50:56. > :51:00.little bit of barging as they fight for position behind the bike. I will

:51:01. > :51:09.just run through who is in this field. There is the rider from

:51:10. > :51:51.Malaysia. Jason Kenny has the white helmet. It

:51:52. > :52:01.is 50 K per hour. This is quite a large group here of six. It is a

:52:02. > :52:06.long way to have to come around. Kenny has ridden from the front. He

:52:07. > :52:28.has the leg power to do it. Awang is in first position at the

:52:29. > :52:37.moment. They will start to leave some space at the moment. Awang is a

:52:38. > :52:41.real sporting hero in Malaysia. If he gets to the front, expect a

:52:42. > :52:52.little wheelie as he crosses the line. Now the race is on. Jason

:52:53. > :53:01.Kenny is in fifth place at the moment. Glaetzer of Australia. There

:53:02. > :53:07.goes Jason Kenny. Look at the speed there. Neck and neck to go with one

:53:08. > :53:15.lap to go. Jason Kenny goes in front.

:53:16. > :53:41.Jason Kenny coasts home. In second place was Buchli. Awang third. They

:53:42. > :53:54.could not stay with Jason Kenny. That was a searing ride from him. He

:53:55. > :54:02.rode away from the field. Awang's late surge for the line paid

:54:03. > :54:08.dividends. He is a popular rider. A lot of people will be delighted he

:54:09. > :54:13.will get a ride in the final. The reigning Olympic champion in keirin

:54:14. > :54:22.is Chris Hoy. He has just been saying amazing, amazing, amazing.

:54:23. > :54:34.When he opened up the taps, he just smoked them. He cruises around the

:54:35. > :54:41.outside. He opens up a gap. It is like he is on a different level to

:54:42. > :54:48.the rest of the riders. He will not be going flat out right now. Look at

:54:49. > :54:55.that, look at the gap he has opened up already. Really special. You

:54:56. > :55:00.don't see keirin races won in that style very often? He is playing to

:55:01. > :55:05.his strengths. As long as he does not get caught up in the battling or

:55:06. > :55:10.flicking and elbowing, he should be great in the final. There is very

:55:11. > :55:16.good news in the sailing. We are going live to Shirley Robertson out

:55:17. > :55:21.in the Atlantic. What have you got? They are too busy celebrating.

:55:22. > :55:30.Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark, 2016 gold medallists. I absolutely lost

:55:31. > :55:33.for words. I can't believe it! We saw you cross the line and there was

:55:34. > :55:39.a bit of arithmetic. You did not know. You went to your coach and

:55:40. > :55:44.then new. Tell us that moment when you realised you have got it. A

:55:45. > :55:50.shock. Complete and up to shock. I didn't know what to say or do. It

:55:51. > :55:55.was the most bizarre feeling ever. I haven't stopped smiling. I am

:55:56. > :56:02.grinning like an idiot. I did not have her down as some on crying. I

:56:03. > :56:07.remember four years ago when you lost that medal race to the Kiwis.

:56:08. > :56:14.You were so cross with yourselves. How does it feel to have righted

:56:15. > :56:19.that wrong? Completely surreal. We sailed out of our skins. It has been

:56:20. > :56:31.a marathon event. I still cannot believe it. And we have one race

:56:32. > :56:37.left. You have your lap of an. It is called doing a Joel is where you

:56:38. > :56:43.have sown it up beforehand -- a lap of honour. We said we wanted to be

:56:44. > :56:49.20 points clear going into the medal race and we are, I cannot believe

:56:50. > :56:54.it! The two of you, I may you are the best of friends, you are so

:56:55. > :56:58.close. This has been five years in the making, to share this moment

:56:59. > :57:07.before you head ashore together, what has it been like? It has been

:57:08. > :57:15.amazing. It has been hard, I had surgery and she has been an amazing

:57:16. > :57:20.best friend and team-mate! Hannah and Saskia, 2016 gold medallists,

:57:21. > :57:29.congratulations! Just fabulous. Hannah Mills and

:57:30. > :57:34.Saskia Clark have won the women's 470. Who will be joining Jason Kenny

:57:35. > :57:45.and co-in the final of the keirin. Here is Simon.

:57:46. > :57:54.We are almost ready to go. As you would expect, a really high quality

:57:55. > :58:04.field. Sam Webster, the Commonwealth sprint champion. The race is

:58:05. > :58:10.underway. There are two Polish riders here which can't complicate

:58:11. > :58:16.matters. They can use their numbers to do a lead out. It complicate

:58:17. > :58:22.matters in the commentary box as well when they dressed the same and

:58:23. > :58:57.have the same helmets. One rider has yellow on his bike.

:58:58. > :59:11.Zielinski has the yellow on his bike. Purvis behind the motorbike.

:59:12. > :59:23.Joachim Eilers is the world champion. The other way to have two

:59:24. > :59:29.team-mates is you would let Purvis go and let your team-mates have a

:59:30. > :59:34.gap. Lots of opportunities if they have discussed it but everyone has

:59:35. > :59:44.got their own plans. They may not coincide. They will start to get a

:59:45. > :59:56.bit twitchy. The riders casting the odd anxious glance. They nearly

:59:57. > :00:04.overlap the motorbike there. Joachim Eilers heads towards the front and

:00:05. > :00:10.looks to power away from the rest of the field. The man chasing him is

:00:11. > :00:16.Zielinski of Poland and then in third is Fabian Puerta from

:00:17. > :00:31.Colombia. The two-time champion from France, has got a lot to do. Joachim

:00:32. > :00:34.Eilers takes it. He was the class of the field in the semifinal.

:00:35. > :00:44.Zielinski chased them all the way to the line. He knew this was not about

:00:45. > :00:52.winning, it was about top three. It is Joachim Eilers, Zielinski and

:00:53. > :00:58.Fabian Puerta who qualified in top three. Pervis in fifth place.

:00:59. > :01:04.Webster in six. I would like to see that from a different angle. They

:01:05. > :01:16.looked like Pervis was cut up a little bit. We will wait and see. At

:01:17. > :01:19.the moment, the result stands. One thing is for sure, Joachim Eilers is

:01:20. > :01:25.the man who crossed the line in first place. There was no doubt

:01:26. > :01:34.about that and his ride. He won two titles earlier this year in London.

:01:35. > :01:40.Zielinski of Poland goes through and also Fabian Puerta waving the flag

:01:41. > :01:45.for Colombia. There is some discussion going in in the centre

:01:46. > :01:51.with the chief of the commissar panel speaking to the chief judge.

:01:52. > :01:56.There is a conversation going on at least.

:01:57. > :02:08.So the final four sevenths until Dash -- 47-12 features these riders

:02:09. > :02:12.unless there is a late judges' disses and but one thing is that

:02:13. > :02:15.sure, Jason Kenny looked mightily impressive and is going for gold

:02:16. > :02:20.later on. CLAIRE BALDING: quick and a word

:02:21. > :02:31.from Sir Chris Hoy, who will be his biggest danger? Eilers, from

:02:32. > :02:35.Germany. Jason gets in and he is going from the front, Eilers will be

:02:36. > :02:40.a danger. You don't want to be jinxing it, but even if he is boxed

:02:41. > :02:45.in, he has time to step out, and absolutely Florette. He is looking

:02:46. > :02:50.in great shape. There is no doubt that if he can win his sixth gold

:02:51. > :02:56.medal and equal Chris Lloyd, Jason Kenny will become the lead headline

:02:57. > :03:02.on an already fantastic day. -- Kris Sir Chris Hoy. Here at the other

:03:03. > :03:06.headlines. Confirmation that Giles Scott has secured gold in sailing's

:03:07. > :03:10.Finn class to give Great Britain their fifth successive Olympic

:03:11. > :03:19.title. He follows in the footsteps of Sir Ben Ainslie.

:03:20. > :03:24.And there will be more British sailing success as Hannah Mills and

:03:25. > :03:32.Saskia Clark have upgraded their women's 470 silver from London to

:03:33. > :03:37.gold in Rio. They can enjoy their final race.

:03:38. > :03:40.The American gymnast Simone Biles produced a stunning performance on

:03:41. > :03:47.the floor to earn her fourth gold medal of the Games, so much class

:03:48. > :03:52.and showmanship. And finishing behind her was ridden's Amy Tinkler,

:03:53. > :03:58.a fantastic bronze for the 16-year-old -- Britain's. GB's

:03:59. > :04:07.youngest athlete has been combining training with doing her GCSEs.

:04:08. > :04:11.And the British gymnastics success continued with another bronze thanks

:04:12. > :04:18.to a terrific performance on the horizontal bar from 20-year-old Nile

:04:19. > :04:23.Wilson. High times on the high bar. So this is the timetable for the

:04:24. > :04:28.evening ahead on BBC One. We will be staying here for the omnium final

:04:29. > :04:34.race, that is Laura Trott going for gold over 25 kilometres. The women's

:04:35. > :04:41.sprint final is Becky James against Kristina Vogel of Germany, race one

:04:42. > :04:47.of that at 9:44pm. Then the men's keirin final, that is Laura Trott's

:04:48. > :04:53.other half of Jason Kenny. And then the women's sprint final race, if

:04:54. > :04:57.needed, at 10:26pm. So we have a fabulous evening of cycling ahead.

:04:58. > :05:01.I'm going to miss this when it stops. Let us talk about Laura

:05:02. > :05:04.Trott, here she comes with the points race and the combination of

:05:05. > :05:15.skills required to win the omnium and how good she is. Joanna Rowsell

:05:16. > :05:20.has gone to cheer her on. You have to do something very special here,

:05:21. > :05:23.20 points for gaining a lap, 5-point maximum on each individual sprint,

:05:24. > :05:28.so they have to do a huge amount of work to close the gap. She doesn't

:05:29. > :05:31.have to go out and chase the points, she can follow the riders but

:05:32. > :05:37.knowing Laura, she won't not write negatively, she will try and win --

:05:38. > :05:42.she won't write negatively. She started early at about eight years

:05:43. > :05:47.old and out of 12, she met Bradley Wiggins and he hung his Olympic gold

:05:48. > :05:51.medal around her neck and that is the moment she decided she wanted to

:05:52. > :05:57.be an Olympic cyclist. She made her breakthrough when she was 18 at the

:05:58. > :06:02.World Championships in Holland at 2011 and -- in 2011 and here she is

:06:03. > :06:07.as not only the dominant cyclist but Chris Boardman describes as the best

:06:08. > :06:12.handler of a bike he has ever seen. That is why she is so good at the

:06:13. > :06:18.elimination race but she is incredibly efficient, narrow

:06:19. > :06:23.shoulders and small arms. Because she is so small, she is very, very

:06:24. > :06:27.efficient. We saw yesterday how dramatic this points race can be.

:06:28. > :06:32.Let's just explain to you how it works, because I can't pretend that

:06:33. > :06:36.it's straightforward and certain people watching were commenting, Sue

:06:37. > :06:41.Perkins, I know, said it proves you don't have to understand anything to

:06:42. > :06:44.be over investing emotionally, when she was watching Cavendish. JK

:06:45. > :06:50.Rowling, obviously the author of Harry Potter books, she sent a

:06:51. > :06:57.message to Louis Smith saying well done on getting his silver and said

:06:58. > :07:02.don't dare tell me that Quidditch is hard to understand but hopefully,

:07:03. > :07:07.these guys will help you. Well, by the time they reach the

:07:08. > :07:11.sixth and last event of the omnium, the riders are starting to get tired

:07:12. > :07:15.but it is the most important because it is where the medals will finally

:07:16. > :07:19.be decided. Rather than start as equals, each athlete goes into the

:07:20. > :07:25.25 kilometre race for women with their accumulated points total from

:07:26. > :07:29.the previous 5p. They then attempts to top up their tally by sprinting

:07:30. > :07:38.for points every ten laps. First across the gets five, second three,

:07:39. > :07:42.third to and fourth one. If they gain a lap, they get 20 valuable

:07:43. > :07:46.points. If an athlete goes into the decisive round with a reasonable

:07:47. > :07:50.buffer, they can choose to ride defensively, marking their rivals,

:07:51. > :07:53.rather than trying to win the race. On the flip side, those who are well

:07:54. > :07:57.behind have nothing to lose and often tried to take a lap. The

:07:58. > :08:03.overall winner unsurprisingly is the athlete with a highest score at the

:08:04. > :08:08.end of this final-round. CLAIRE BALDING: so an awful lot of

:08:09. > :08:13.racing to be done and along the way, things can happen. We saw yesterday

:08:14. > :08:17.Mark Cavendish's points race, a crash actually caused by him. A lot

:08:18. > :08:20.of people can't believe he was disqualified for this. Essentially

:08:21. > :08:24.what happens in a points race, you will be at the front, you will swing

:08:25. > :08:29.up the track to relinquish your lead and as you do that, you come back

:08:30. > :08:32.down and mark looked, looked away, it was his fault but at the same

:08:33. > :08:38.time, that clearly wasn't a malicious move and it was not in the

:08:39. > :08:42.middle of a sprint, it was at the end of the race but you consider

:08:43. > :08:46.mayhem it caused. It happens a lot in these races, they are so closely

:08:47. > :08:50.bunched, they are continually changing positions and when that

:08:51. > :08:54.happens, it can cause collisions. We saw the Korean rider being

:08:55. > :08:59.stretchered off, what is the news? He is fine, bit sore, back from

:09:00. > :09:03.hospital last at. Ross Edgar, Arnold team-mate of mine, he is the coach

:09:04. > :09:09.for the Korean sprint team and said he is OK -- and old. Mark Cavendish

:09:10. > :09:13.apologise last night and has done so this morning and checked on his

:09:14. > :09:18.progress. He said it was his fault. It is interesting, if you look at

:09:19. > :09:22.any of the interviews with the other athletes in that race, they have

:09:23. > :09:26.also the same thing, it is not a malicious move, it is not intend to

:09:27. > :09:30.knock somebody off, it was a mistake and Mark has held his hands up and

:09:31. > :09:37.said sorry. There isn't any danger here of something to Laura Trott?

:09:38. > :09:41.Yes, there is always a risk, but often you will see crashes and it

:09:42. > :09:45.sounds silly, but you learn how to crash without hurting yourself, you

:09:46. > :09:49.learn how to fall without putting your hands out or potentially

:09:50. > :09:53.breaking your collarbone. You slide. It is not very pleasant but even if

:09:54. > :09:57.Laura falls off, they have spare bikes, you will see mechanics at the

:09:58. > :10:02.side with a spare bike and if there is a crash, the races neutralise,

:10:03. > :10:06.they can miss a lap and they can get back in there. Viviani still won the

:10:07. > :10:11.overall points raised and omnium despite falling. Something to worry

:10:12. > :10:14.about when you said yes, please don't let that happen. So here she

:10:15. > :10:18.stands on the verge of her own bit of history, this will be her fourth

:10:19. > :10:25.Olympic gold medal and she would be the first woman ever to do that, she

:10:26. > :10:28.has since been joined on three by Charlotte Dujardin and it is not as

:10:29. > :10:34.if this is the end for her, she could go on for a while yet. For a

:10:35. > :10:37.long time, she is just 24. Traditionally, the female athletes

:10:38. > :10:40.go on for longer than their male counterparts. She could be around

:10:41. > :10:44.three or four Games from there with a ridiculous amount of medals and

:10:45. > :10:48.she is showing no signs of slowing down. Everything she does, she

:10:49. > :10:54.learns from it. There is definitely more to come from Laura after these

:10:55. > :10:58.Games but at the moment, let's focus on this, fingers crossed, gold

:10:59. > :11:01.medal. And she is only five foot four, relatively small for a

:11:02. > :11:05.cyclist. There is Jason Kenny, getting ready for his keirin final

:11:06. > :11:09.but obviously, he will be keeping an eye on Laura. They are due to get

:11:10. > :11:15.married later this year. Her mum and dad are here, her older sister, some

:11:16. > :11:18.big family support. It was her mother who got her into cycling in

:11:19. > :11:23.the very beginning and she will have an enormous amount of support

:11:24. > :11:30.because this velodrome is packed with British fans and that has got

:11:31. > :11:35.to help in a race of over 100 laps with ten sprints in it. It feels

:11:36. > :11:39.like a home venue with the amount of British flags. You can hear the roar

:11:40. > :11:43.that Laura and Jason and the British athletes are getting. So Laura Trott

:11:44. > :11:47.leads the omnium going into this final stage, the last of the six

:11:48. > :11:51.different disciplines. 100 laps ahead of them, it is the points

:11:52. > :11:55.race, wonderful to watch and you will hear superb commentary from

:11:56. > :12:00.Chris Boardman and Simon Brotherton. Thank you. 100 laps of the track and

:12:01. > :12:09.Laura Trott with a 24 point lead over the next closest rider. Points

:12:10. > :12:11.will be added to the score that the riders already have, so Laura Trott

:12:12. > :12:28.starts on 196. If they are all nice and compact,

:12:29. > :12:31.the coaches take them to the line, sharing a joke unbelievably, giving

:12:32. > :12:34.a water bottle to Laura Trott, taking a drink himself and both of

:12:35. > :12:40.them having a little laugh, quite incredible when you consider the

:12:41. > :12:44.stakes involved. Yes, very high stakes and the potential for a

:12:45. > :12:49.memorable gold medal for Laura Trott, if she can maintain her

:12:50. > :12:53.position at the top of the leaderboard here. She is in an

:12:54. > :12:59.excellent can Makovich position with a decent cushion. Let's see what

:13:00. > :13:03.unfolds over the next 100 laps -- she is in an excellent position.

:13:04. > :13:10.With a sprint every ten laps, known to nine to go -- 99 to go, still

:13:11. > :13:16.some way for the first sprint. That is why they are not racing very

:13:17. > :13:20.hard. It gives you an idea of some of the tactics. That lead Laura

:13:21. > :13:28.Trott has got can work against it she is not careful. She has to keep

:13:29. > :13:31.Hammer, Laurie Berthon and perhaps Lauren Ellis, but particularly

:13:32. > :13:35.Hammer and Laurie Berthon, not let them get away because if they do,

:13:36. > :13:39.every rider will look at her to do all the chasing because she has the

:13:40. > :13:43.most to lose. You have to keep on top of your rivals. There is also

:13:44. > :13:49.that scenario of 20 bonus points if you lapped the field. If anyone does

:13:50. > :13:54.go away, they are often they're long enough to pick up some points en

:13:55. > :13:58.route, so 25 is the usual amount if someone gains a lap and joy

:13:59. > :14:01.advantage is suddenly gone. So it is by no means going to be clear

:14:02. > :14:08.sailing here for Laura Trott. There are a lot of tactical things for her

:14:09. > :14:13.to do but one she can do is follow, follow and follow and save the

:14:14. > :14:17.energy for when she needs to do the work herself. What an extraordinary

:14:18. > :14:22.athlete she is. Defending champion here, three gold medals in her

:14:23. > :14:29.career already, seven times a world champion, ten European gold medals

:14:30. > :14:31.and she is still only 24. Yes, she is heading towards being the most

:14:32. > :14:38.successful British Olympic athlete of all time if she carries on the

:14:39. > :14:45.trend she has started. 94 laps when they come around again, the first

:14:46. > :14:48.sprint at 90, of course. So four laps away from the first sprint of

:14:49. > :14:53.the race as Laura Trott briefly shows her face at the front. They

:14:54. > :14:58.are all bunched up a long way short of full speed at the moment, riding

:14:59. > :15:05.along the inside on the front now, just moving up the track, in the red

:15:06. > :15:12.of China, is Xiaoling Luo. She is joined by Anna Knauer, former junior

:15:13. > :15:15.European champion, who joins forces with the rider from China and the

:15:16. > :15:23.first action of the race starts to unfold. The Cuban rider tries to

:15:24. > :15:28.close the gap and they are strong out behind. Those are the two

:15:29. > :15:41.leaders. It is interesting how this race changes to a normal points

:15:42. > :15:47.race, these riders don't pose a threat and will be allowed to go

:15:48. > :15:48.when normally, this would be shut down immediately. Next time over the

:15:49. > :15:51.line, they will take the bell for the first sprint of the race. Laura

:15:52. > :15:59.Trott quite happy to let the points gap mopped up by the lower placed

:16:00. > :16:02.riders, it all works to her favour. Laura Trott going just off the front

:16:03. > :16:07.of the main field and closing the gap on the front three riders as

:16:08. > :16:11.they crossed the line. Cuba, Germany, China and Great Britain

:16:12. > :16:17.scoring points in that first sprint. One more for Laura Trott. She has

:16:18. > :16:21.decided on an offensive strategy. I nip across here and if you want to

:16:22. > :16:26.be back, you will have to come and get me. And suddenly, everybody is

:16:27. > :16:33.on the back foot. Yes, I will roll through with you, they have everyone

:16:34. > :16:40.doing the chasing of the leader. Unusual, but very exciting. Good to

:16:41. > :16:47.see Laura Trott animating the race and she has done that earlier here.

:16:48. > :16:50.She doesn't want to expand that energy, she needs to not go into the

:16:51. > :16:56.red, because then she will be counter attacked and it gets very

:16:57. > :16:59.difficult. Really got to have some self-discipline in this one. She

:17:00. > :17:04.joined in without ploughing on at the front. Fired a warning shot to

:17:05. > :17:11.the others that want to take the title from her. There she is off the

:17:12. > :17:16.front again, Laura. She is waiting for them, she is not going to slow

:17:17. > :17:20.down for them. It is a psychological blow because the others start to

:17:21. > :17:24.think, I am going to defend my medal position. The other two at that

:17:25. > :17:33.level on points and have it all to fight for. Kirsten Wild up with

:17:34. > :17:40.Laura Trott in case she was interested in continuing the move.

:17:41. > :17:43.She wasn't and Amalie Dideriksen, two-time world road champion, goes

:17:44. > :17:46.to the front. She has shown promise in some events but lost a lot of

:17:47. > :17:50.points and others. She was in fourth going into the last event but has

:17:51. > :17:58.struggled and slipped down the leaderboard. It is really down to

:17:59. > :18:02.Laura Trott. Hammer Annette Edmondson, just four points off the

:18:03. > :18:08.podium, Edmondson. They will have derived defensively just to protect

:18:09. > :18:15.a podium position -- happy to ride. Sarah Hammer was third in London,

:18:16. > :18:17.Annette Edmondson the world champion last year. Improved as the omnium

:18:18. > :18:33.has gone on. She knows she will not begin than

:18:34. > :18:43.any leeway to try and gain a lap. Dedryck Boyata and is having another

:18:44. > :18:59.go. She will prefer this longer offend -- Dideriksen. Laura Trott

:19:00. > :19:04.can afford to go after riders only run. They are just starting the

:19:05. > :19:10.sprint now down the back straight with Sarah Hammer looking to get on

:19:11. > :19:15.the board. She is tussling away with Jolien D'Hoore in the silver medal

:19:16. > :19:20.position at the moment. Laura Trott picks up a couple of points.

:19:21. > :19:26.Dideriksen gets one for Denmark. Laura Trott has scored on both of

:19:27. > :19:33.the opening sprints. She's more than a lap's worth layer of points at the

:19:34. > :19:51.moment. Sarah Hammer has some clear ground between her and the Belgian.

:19:52. > :20:04.78 laps to go. Kirsten Wild from the Netherlands is a really strong

:20:05. > :20:09.rider. She could afford to go all day. Lauren Ellis going into this

:20:10. > :20:16.final race in seventh place in the overall standings. Laurie Berthon is

:20:17. > :20:21.in fifth position at the moment. She is something of a danger to the

:20:22. > :20:34.podium riders. Laura Trott could say if you don't want to lose out, you

:20:35. > :20:40.can do the chasing. Amalie Dideriksen is closing in all the

:20:41. > :20:46.time. Allison Beveridge in the blue and white of Canada, stuck in no

:20:47. > :20:46.man's land at the moment between the breakaway group and the splinter

:20:47. > :21:04.peloton. They are playing a podium game here.

:21:05. > :21:10.They are happy to let the backmarkers move a bit closer.

:21:11. > :21:13.Careful not to overextend for no good reason here. It is not about

:21:14. > :21:19.the win of the particular discipline, it is about the overall

:21:20. > :21:25.competition. Lose a battle and win the war. Laura Trott is not prepared

:21:26. > :21:30.to join in this chasing. It is perfect for her, because all of

:21:31. > :21:37.those points are being mopped up by riders who will not count overall.

:21:38. > :21:45.Does up to Sarah Hammer, Annette Edmondson and Jolien D'Hoore to do

:21:46. > :21:53.something about this. Laura Trott has now...

:21:54. > :22:00.Another set of points on offer. The next time they go over the line,

:22:01. > :22:13.five riders of the front, Dideriksen, Laurie Berthon, Ellis of

:22:14. > :22:19.New Zealand,. This is the worst case of scenario for the podium place

:22:20. > :22:22.riders because they are not gaining that lap and are back in the same

:22:23. > :22:28.race, they are back out there and taking the points. Sarah Hammer and

:22:29. > :22:33.Jolien D'Hoore have had to start to do quite a bit of work to close the

:22:34. > :22:44.gaps. They have to let these riders get on or they have to close it

:22:45. > :22:52.down. Laura Trott still in a very strong position. That is the bottom

:22:53. > :22:55.line. She has 199 points. It is still a good condition. She's

:22:56. > :23:02.delighted the way this is working out at the moment. She is riding an

:23:03. > :23:08.excellent tactical race. They need to let this slowdown if they can do

:23:09. > :23:13.the chasing. Doing a little bit of both is the worst-case. They are not

:23:14. > :23:20.doing either. Sarah Hammer cannot help herself riding off to try and

:23:21. > :23:25.close the gap but she will expend a lot of energy doing that. Laura

:23:26. > :23:33.Trott has let her go. Now she can sit on and let her do the chasing.

:23:34. > :23:43.She may decide you are no threat to me. Down the back straight, Sarah

:23:44. > :23:57.Hammer, Laura Trott and the rider from China start Jolien D'Hoore just

:23:58. > :24:00.sprinted across. The three riders in podium position are on the track

:24:01. > :24:12.together but they are not in the front. Riders are being dropped here

:24:13. > :24:17.left right and centre. The rider from Taipei is struggling to hold

:24:18. > :24:25.the pace and she is slipping behind somewhat. The way this race is

:24:26. > :24:36.panning out, there is a chance they can gain a lap. That is the British

:24:37. > :24:41.coach looking on. If they were careful, they would have eased up

:24:42. > :24:49.and try and mop up some points. They have gone straight through. 20

:24:50. > :24:53.points for those riders. We will see how that changes the overall

:24:54. > :24:59.standing. It has not changed the top three. Laurie Berthon is now in

:25:00. > :25:09.fifth place. She is some way short of the medal position in terms of

:25:10. > :25:20.points. Sharakova first over the line. Sarah Hammer is just outside

:25:21. > :25:30.the points. Laura Trott has decided she will get involved now. She will

:25:31. > :25:38.get up there and police things. Hammer is on 177. The battle is

:25:39. > :25:45.between silver and bronze at the moment. Road-macro you will notice

:25:46. > :25:51.there is a judge at the side of the track and he will indicate where the

:25:52. > :25:59.front of the race is in case they have a with the GPS system. What a

:26:00. > :26:04.nightmare trying to keep track of where the front is. There is Laurie

:26:05. > :26:09.Berthon from France, one of those who lapped the field from that five

:26:10. > :26:18.rider group. Dideriksen from Denmark is on the move again, seeing if

:26:19. > :26:21.anybody fancies another go, as is Kirsten Wild and Lauren Ellis. Four

:26:22. > :26:28.of the five who lapped the field have gone to the front again. Laura

:26:29. > :26:31.Trott needs to be a bit careful and sure enough she has decided I will

:26:32. > :26:58.nip across to this group. Jolien D'Hoore doing some chasing

:26:59. > :27:04.not to haemorrhage any more points. Laura Trott has helped her out.

:27:05. > :27:10.Sarah Hammer struggling to get back onto this group. The rider who is

:27:11. > :27:13.not in this group who would want to be is Annette Edmondson from

:27:14. > :27:19.Australia. She is at the back of the peloton half a lap behind. She has

:27:20. > :27:22.been caught out by this leading group which includes all three

:27:23. > :27:28.riders in the medal positions at the moment. Dideriksen going through in

:27:29. > :27:34.the front for Denmark followed by Lauren Ellis from New Zealand. She

:27:35. > :27:43.raced in the team pursuit and finished in fourth place stop Jolien

:27:44. > :27:48.D'Hoore from Belgium is in second place. The rest of the field slowing

:27:49. > :27:52.up. Annette Edmondson who was off the back is trying to trace and she

:27:53. > :27:58.is caught in between the breakaway group and the back-end of the field

:27:59. > :28:07.who were not racing at full pelt. It looks like they are about to be

:28:08. > :28:14.caught by the Laura -- Laura Trott group. Laura Trott trying to grab a

:28:15. > :28:21.few more here. Dideriksen gets it ahead of Laura Trott. They somehow

:28:22. > :28:27.weaved their way through and stayed up right. That was quite remarkable.

:28:28. > :28:32.They went from back to front. Now they are off the front. Laura Trott

:28:33. > :28:36.quite happy to roll through with anybody but will not overextend

:28:37. > :28:46.herself. Sharakova got the five points. Laura Trott on 221, Sarah

:28:47. > :28:58.Hammer on 197, Jolien D'Hoore one 196. No, it is 226 for Laura Trott.

:28:59. > :29:03.Kirsten Wild from the Netherlands is into fourth place. What a fight for

:29:04. > :29:07.the silver medal position. I don't think Kirsten Wild has finished

:29:08. > :29:19.here. She is within sight of the podium. This race building towards a

:29:20. > :29:24.crescendo. Laura Trott now just 50 laps from a piece of sporting

:29:25. > :29:31.history as she goes for her fourth gold medal. Laura Trott in a

:29:32. > :29:36.stronger position now than when she went into this final event. She has

:29:37. > :29:41.been the stronger rider in this competition by far. Utterly

:29:42. > :29:47.dominant. But she has to stay upright between now and the finish.

:29:48. > :29:52.She must avoid any last-minute catastrophes out there. But so far

:29:53. > :29:57.it is looking good for Great Britain and Laura Trott. Sarah Hammer

:29:58. > :30:02.rolling around the bottom. Not worth her attacking because she will not

:30:03. > :30:14.be allowed to do it. Five laps to go until the next chance to do that.

:30:15. > :30:22.One or two riders having a look around and deciding whether they

:30:23. > :30:24.want to chase and join in. Annette Edmondson looks interested on the

:30:25. > :30:30.front of the peloton but immediately, she had Laura Trott

:30:31. > :30:37.right on her wheel. Luo Xiaoling from China coming through on the

:30:38. > :30:43.inside. And Anna Knauer, the rider from Germany, a bronze medallist

:30:44. > :30:50.last year. They will get the next set of points. It is hard fought

:30:51. > :30:57.race. It is a long time to be out there on your own. Anna Knauer was

:30:58. > :31:04.13th in the World Championships last year. Two laps from the next sprint.

:31:05. > :31:10.She is being chased by Amalie Dideriksen, the 20-year-old from

:31:11. > :31:19.Denmark and Sharakova, the vastly experienced Belarussian is closing

:31:20. > :31:26.in. Sharakova is happy to let them do the lead out. Laura Trott is

:31:27. > :31:29.coming around the outside. She has Jolien D'Hoore from Belgium on her

:31:30. > :31:38.wheel. The top riders in the win in's omnium will sprint this out

:31:39. > :31:42.with 40 laps to go. Five more points for Laura Trott. This tussle for

:31:43. > :31:49.bronze and silver is getting really inches sting. Both Jolien D'Hoore

:31:50. > :31:53.and Sarah Hammer are an equal points. They will now try their best

:31:54. > :32:04.to get the silver medal. Hence why, in the back straight, you

:32:05. > :32:08.can see Hammer and d'Hoore are watching each other, they are not

:32:09. > :32:17.too fussed about Laura. Huge buffer that all three have. 140, Kirsten

:32:18. > :32:21.Wild back in fourth position. So there is no point in them going of

:32:22. > :32:33.the front to take more points, it is each other they need to get rid of.

:32:34. > :32:37.Laura Trott can complete her Olympic performance against Sarah Hammer,

:32:38. > :32:40.Sarah Hammer is a three-time silver-medallist. Wilshere and with

:32:41. > :32:56.silver again or will she take bronze? -- will she end up. Ellis

:32:57. > :33:00.takes the front. Mejia there and Xiaoling Luo. Laura Trott happy to

:33:01. > :33:05.sit among the wheels in the large bunch. Hammer sitting up, she is so

:33:06. > :33:12.frustrated. The points have gone up the road and she is equal on points,

:33:13. > :33:18.she needs to score some more and the opportunities are slipping away with

:33:19. > :33:21.just 34 laps to go. Should bite benefit from the fact that Sharakova

:33:22. > :33:30.and did Eriksson are leading the main field -- she should benefit

:33:31. > :33:35.from the fact that Sharakova and Amalie Dideriksen are leading the

:33:36. > :33:41.field. Lauren Ellis in third. Lauren Ellis a points race silver-medallist

:33:42. > :33:45.in the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010. She will finish outside the

:33:46. > :33:50.medals but doing her best to animate the points race that will bring the

:33:51. > :33:54.women's omnium to a conclusion. Laura Trott is 33 laps away from

:33:55. > :33:58.goal. Ellis will move up to fourth position if they take some points

:33:59. > :34:02.and make the junction, so a worthwhile move for her for the

:34:03. > :34:08.minor places. So the next sprint is just under two laps away and at the

:34:09. > :34:12.moment, there is only one point on offer for either d'Hoore or Hammer.

:34:13. > :34:19.Hammer is one point better off than the Belgian for the silver medal

:34:20. > :34:24.race, but way out in front for gold is Laura Trott. The leading three

:34:25. > :34:29.riders take the bell, this will be sprint seven of ten. This 100 lap

:34:30. > :34:33.race will have 30 laps to go. The points have all gone up the road, so

:34:34. > :34:39.the medal contenders are going to have to sit this one out, another

:34:40. > :34:43.opportunity lost for d'Hoore to get back on terms for the silver medal

:34:44. > :34:48.race. Annette Edmondson down in Pitt Place, the Australian rider. She is

:34:49. > :34:52.going for it, she thinks she can close the gap. The Belgian is going

:34:53. > :34:57.to try and steal that one point if she can. As the leading riders come

:34:58. > :35:03.around and over the line and Laura Trott still midway through the

:35:04. > :35:07.field. It is up to the others to try and do something about it but, as

:35:08. > :35:11.Chris was saying, we have a scenario here where the riders in second and

:35:12. > :35:14.third position, because of the lead that Laura Trott has got, they are

:35:15. > :35:19.actually fighting with each other more than with Laura Trott at the

:35:20. > :35:27.moment. Lauren Ellis is up to fourth place now. That move is exactly what

:35:28. > :35:34.she wanted to try and get herself back into the running. She has just

:35:35. > :35:38.done that. So Lauren Ellis has done a superb ride here, she has really

:35:39. > :35:42.brought herself back into some sort of contention here with an excellent

:35:43. > :35:48.ride in this points race. That is the second time she has lapped the

:35:49. > :35:52.field. She is only 14 points off a podium place as well, so yet another

:35:53. > :35:59.threat has arrived. What has she got left in the tank for the remaining

:36:00. > :36:03.26 laps? Mejias now of Cuba goes off the front, Sharakova from Belarus,

:36:04. > :36:08.who won the first event, the scratch race, early yesterday, has decided

:36:09. > :36:16.to go with her and Amalie Dideriksen has come off the main field as well.

:36:17. > :36:21.50 points on the board now without counting lap Games and if Ellis

:36:22. > :36:27.wants to get on the podium, she would have to try and take another

:36:28. > :36:31.lap. It will be awhile before she is recovered and she running out of

:36:32. > :36:35.distance. Laura Trott 24 laps away from

:36:36. > :36:40.Olympic glory for the second time in the last few days. Remember, she

:36:41. > :36:45.rode in the team pursuit and they broke the world record in beating

:36:46. > :36:50.the Americans. But the battle really at the moment is between Hammer and

:36:51. > :36:56.d'Hoore. She is just one point ahead, Sarah Hammer and that is a

:36:57. > :37:01.very, very slender lead that can change in a single sprint and I

:37:02. > :37:04.think that is possibly how it is going to be decided here. Laura

:37:05. > :37:10.Trott very much in control of this race so far for the 78 laps we have

:37:11. > :37:13.seen up to this point. At the front, Amalie Dideriksen of Denmark,

:37:14. > :37:19.Sharakova of Belarus in the white and green and red and Mejias of Cuba

:37:20. > :37:24.now going to the front of that three. So just one point on offer

:37:25. > :37:28.behind, and it is such a valuable one but I don't think either of the

:37:29. > :37:32.medal contenders are going to get to play. Laura Trott might. Lauren

:37:33. > :37:37.Ellis is desperate to get every single point she can to get within a

:37:38. > :37:41.chance of getting on the podium. Still quite a tall order for her but

:37:42. > :37:47.she is prepared to go for it. Towards the line, Denmark take five

:37:48. > :37:51.points, three for Belarus and two for Cuba and the one point will go

:37:52. > :37:54.to Lauren Ellis, just ahead of Anna Knauer of Germany, with Laura Trott

:37:55. > :38:00.again just keeping an eye on everything going on at the front,

:38:01. > :38:03.always in control of proceedings. With 19 laps remaining, she can

:38:04. > :38:06.start to ride a bit more aggressively if she wants to. I

:38:07. > :38:10.can't believe there is anybody here who can gain at lap on her with such

:38:11. > :38:15.a short distance remaining. I think we might see her get more involved,

:38:16. > :38:20.get into a breakaway, just for the sheer fun of it. Just on the front

:38:21. > :38:24.of the main group. We are back with the leaders, Amalie Dideriksen,

:38:25. > :38:29.Sharakova and Mejias, back at the front of the main peloton. There is

:38:30. > :38:32.the confirmation of sprint eight and the allocation of points. Sarah

:38:33. > :38:44.Hammer on the front of the main group just rolls of the track, just

:38:45. > :38:52.taken up by Joe Durant Diarra. Laura Trott on 229 points. Sarah Hammer on

:38:53. > :38:56.200, just one ahead of d'Hoore. The colours of the medals not decided

:38:57. > :39:02.but Laura Trott will be taking the top spot on the podium. All being

:39:03. > :39:06.well, just 16 laps remaining when they come round, the gold is hers.

:39:07. > :39:10.She has just got to watch her rivals, they have to do something

:39:11. > :39:15.spectacular now if they wanted to wrestle that gold from her, I think

:39:16. > :39:20.it is all but impossible. So if Laura Trott stay safe, she is going

:39:21. > :39:24.to be Olympic champion. Needs to stay upright, stay safe. She has

:39:25. > :39:29.been the best rider in this event throughout from start to finish. She

:39:30. > :39:33.has looked untouchable and she is now so close to a second Olympic

:39:34. > :39:38.omnium title and a record-breaking fourth gold medal for a British

:39:39. > :39:42.female Olympic athlete. Kirsten Wild is making a late charge off the

:39:43. > :39:47.front of the peloton. Still got those three riders out in front but

:39:48. > :39:50.the gap will go down. D'Hoore has gone without an Sarah Hammer

:39:51. > :39:54.realises she has the chase and is straight on it. Laura Trott will try

:39:55. > :39:59.and chase down Sarah Hammer. The race is really on now. Look at the

:40:00. > :40:03.speed of Laura Trott. We are not being shown those pictures. We don't

:40:04. > :40:10.need to see the tree at the front. Kirsten Wild, Jolien d'Hoore, and

:40:11. > :40:15.like a flash, joining on the back, Laura Trott. They are away and now

:40:16. > :40:19.they have put themselves in a position where they have to sprint

:40:20. > :40:23.for a single point and it is two laps to go until the sprint starts.

:40:24. > :40:27.If they work a little bit, they will catch this front three and it will

:40:28. > :40:30.all be on again. Sarah Hammer will be quite happy for all the points to

:40:31. > :40:34.be taken away because she now has the lead over the Belgian and she is

:40:35. > :40:40.going to have to go through this print having done a massive chase to

:40:41. > :40:45.catch them. So we have three on the front, four following them and then

:40:46. > :40:50.the rest of the field. Amalie Dideriksen, Sharakova and Mejias,

:40:51. > :40:55.the first three riders on the track. Not too far behind them, Sarah

:40:56. > :40:59.Hammer, d'Hoore, Laura Trott and Kirsten Wild. The sprint for the

:41:00. > :41:07.single point is taken by Sarah Hammer, who now has two points'

:41:08. > :41:11.advantage over d'Hoore. D'Hoore didn't even try and match her in the

:41:12. > :41:16.sprint, she was completely gassed after having made that breakaway

:41:17. > :41:20.attempt with Kirsten Wild. Laura Trott happy to sit in there in the

:41:21. > :41:25.second group on the track, a group of four, and she is eight and a half

:41:26. > :41:30.laps away from glory here, for the second time this week in Rio. It is

:41:31. > :41:34.getting closer, she can almost touch that gold medal. And it is safer for

:41:35. > :41:42.her to ride in this small group and let them fight it out. This is great

:41:43. > :41:48.stuff from Amalie Dideriksen, Mejias and Sharakova. They are about to

:41:49. > :41:51.rejoin the main field on the track. And the little splinter group behind

:41:52. > :41:56.them on the track are about three quarters of a lap ahead of that main

:41:57. > :41:57.field. They are now sprinting for points, all to play for on this

:41:58. > :42:15.final outing. Of the main field just rolling round

:42:16. > :42:20.past us now. Six laps to go. Kirsten Wild, Jolien d'Hoore, Sarah Hammer

:42:21. > :42:27.and also Laura Trott. And the Lauren Ellis is there as well. Well, it is

:42:28. > :42:35.a formidable little group, isn't it? It is all coming down. You can see

:42:36. > :42:46.the judge pointing at their group, the others having caught. This is

:42:47. > :42:49.going to be four laps for Laura Trott getting closer and closer,

:42:50. > :42:54.riding on the front, with three laps to go as they crossed the line.

:42:55. > :43:00.Laura Trott, a little gap back to Kirsten Wild, to Lauren Ellis and

:43:01. > :43:04.d'Hoore. The rider in blue from Belgian and the American rider

:43:05. > :43:08.behind her, second and third in line, they are the two that will

:43:09. > :43:12.really be scrapping it out because silver and bronze are on the line

:43:13. > :43:18.for the pair of them. The gold will go to Great Britain. Two laps to go.

:43:19. > :43:23.Hammer, I think, will be happy to go from the front. Lauren Ellis has

:43:24. > :43:26.decided to go here and put her position at the front of

:43:27. > :43:31.proceedings. Sarah Hammer onto her wheel as they take the bell. One lap

:43:32. > :43:35.to go in the points race at the end of the women's omnium an Sarah

:43:36. > :43:41.Hammer tries to sprint away from Lauren Ellis. Laura Trott is less

:43:42. > :43:45.than half a lap to Olympic gold as they come up towards the line.

:43:46. > :43:51.Hammer over the line. Laura Trott has finished. It is a special,

:43:52. > :43:56.special Olympic moment for Great Britain. Laura Trott is Britain's

:43:57. > :44:03.most successful female Olympian of all time. A record fourth gold

:44:04. > :44:07.medal. And she did it in style. Didn't put a foot wrong through that

:44:08. > :44:13.entire race, did she? She did everything she needed to do, she was

:44:14. > :44:17.physically superior, didn't panic, let the movers go up the road and

:44:18. > :44:21.the battle behind have played into her hands. Tactically perfect,

:44:22. > :44:26.physically excellent. As soon as this event started early yesterday

:44:27. > :44:30.in the first race, the scratch race, everyone looked around and said I

:44:31. > :44:34.don't think anyone can live with Laura Trott over the next two days.

:44:35. > :44:39.You didn't want to speak out of turn, or jinx it, but she looked

:44:40. > :44:43.unstoppable in almost every event. There was nothing anybody could do

:44:44. > :44:47.to stop Laura Trott here. We thought it was going to be a close fight, we

:44:48. > :44:53.thought Sarah Hammer would be involved, but we didn't see an

:44:54. > :44:59.absolute trouncing like that coming. What a start. Two golds in London

:45:00. > :45:05.four years ago, two more and Sarah Hammer beaten into second place in

:45:06. > :45:11.the Olympic Games once more. And congratulations there from Annette

:45:12. > :45:15.Edmondson from Australian to d'Hoore -- from Australia. Sarah Hammer has

:45:16. > :45:21.four Olympic silver medals, but there is the start of the moment.

:45:22. > :45:28.All that effort, all that training, all worthwhile now. Two former

:45:29. > :45:33.team-mates, Laura Trott and Jolien d'Hoore, and now it is time to greet

:45:34. > :45:34.the family, a long journey over to reopen it, Michael display, wasn't

:45:35. > :45:45.it worth it? -- to reopen. Fightback what an emotional scene of

:45:46. > :45:49.the side of the track. All these riders have given everything, and

:45:50. > :45:53.now it is all over. Ellis of New Zealand did everything she could to

:45:54. > :45:58.try to get back on terms, but it was really about those three for the

:45:59. > :46:04.entire event. And that is a landmark gold medal for great written in the

:46:05. > :46:11.Olympic Games. Laura Trott has won golds number three and four. And she

:46:12. > :46:19.is only 24 years of age. That familiar smile. Consolation for

:46:20. > :46:26.Sarah Hammer who tried so hard, beaten into second place by

:46:27. > :46:35.Britain's women's team pursuit is, and beaten by Laura Trott in the

:46:36. > :46:42.omnium once again. And her partner Jason Kenny is yet to race, so we

:46:43. > :46:49.might not be finished a. Two golds for these games so far for Laura

:46:50. > :46:55.Trott, two golds for Jason Kenny, he is going for the hat-trick tonight

:46:56. > :46:59.CLARE BALDING: We will hear from Laura in a moment.

:47:00. > :47:05.Joe, your reaction as a team-mate to what she has done? I know how hard

:47:06. > :47:07.she has worked, I have been there for the training camps, the

:47:08. > :47:13.early-morning sessions, all the hard work that goes in, and it is tough

:47:14. > :47:17.for someone like Laura with such a high profile, everyone expects so

:47:18. > :47:23.much, but she just deals with it, she is so professional. Everyone is

:47:24. > :47:36.saying she has got this in the bow, but it is never in the bad until the

:47:37. > :47:42.end. And that is a painful race, she is walking towards Jill Douglas

:47:43. > :47:47.right now. Here is Laura Trott. Unsurprisingly, huge smile on your

:47:48. > :47:53.face, you are great Britain's most successful female Olympian of all

:47:54. > :48:00.time. I can't believe it! I just can't believe it! I don't want to

:48:01. > :48:06.cry on camera. I did not expect that at all, I am just so happy that it

:48:07. > :48:09.all came together, I honestly can't thank everybody at home enough, the

:48:10. > :48:14.people that you don't see that have really helped me like the people we

:48:15. > :48:17.work with in the gym, the people who look at the power data, my

:48:18. > :48:28.nutritionist, I couldn't have done it without every single one of them,

:48:29. > :48:32.and my coach who has me stroppy because I can't do the powers he

:48:33. > :48:36.gives me, so then today when it goes well, I am literally over the moon.

:48:37. > :48:40.Use a you were not expecting it. I think everybody else was! You

:48:41. > :48:45.thought it would be difficult to top London, but that was a special

:48:46. > :48:50.moment. You think of people like Sir Chris Hoy who come and do it time

:48:51. > :48:54.and again, and to be able to repeat my success in London, honestly, I

:48:55. > :49:00.just can't even explain what I am going through right now, I am just

:49:01. > :49:03.so happy. Four gold-medal Scobbie of won every time you have come onto an

:49:04. > :49:06.Olympic track, we will see with it when you come back, congratulations.

:49:07. > :49:12.Thank you. CLARE BALDING: And Laura Trott with

:49:13. > :49:17.that fourth gold medal now moves on to the list of great British

:49:18. > :49:19.Olympians. Forget the leading British women, she is up there now

:49:20. > :49:26.with Ben Ainslie, Matthew Pinsent, she is just a hind Bradley Wiggins,

:49:27. > :49:31.Steve Redgrave has five, Jason Kenny could go to six to join you at the

:49:32. > :49:36.top. He said last night, Joe, she is always so surprised she is that

:49:37. > :49:40.good. Not just the greatest British female Olympian, she has always said

:49:41. > :49:45.she wants to be in the top overall, men or women, because traditionally,

:49:46. > :49:52.we haven't had as many cycling event as the men, and that became equal

:49:53. > :49:56.four years ago, and she has a 100% record, she has ridden two events at

:49:57. > :50:02.each Olympics and won all four of them. She paid tribute to the team.

:50:03. > :50:06.She is very self-deprecating and says she can be stroppy, and that

:50:07. > :50:09.Paul Manning has to deal with her saying she can't do it, but there is

:50:10. > :50:15.a massive success for British cycling team. It is no accident that

:50:16. > :50:19.we have all these medals this week, it is the team behind the team you

:50:20. > :50:23.see on the track. You can't mention them all because there are so many

:50:24. > :50:27.people involved, and it is about everybody doing the best they can do

:50:28. > :50:32.to contribute to the team success. Everybody wants to be world-class in

:50:33. > :50:35.their role, and we are so fortunate to have the back-up but they have.

:50:36. > :50:42.And you can see here Laura going through to greet Paul Manning. He

:50:43. > :50:45.was our coach coming into London, then we swapped coaches for a couple

:50:46. > :50:49.of years to Chris Newton, who was also really good, but we have come

:50:50. > :50:53.back to Paul Manning towards the Olympics again, and it is a very

:50:54. > :50:58.successful partnership. They have a great relationship. And her other

:50:59. > :51:04.great relationship, Jason Kenny able to sit back and be fairly relaxed

:51:05. > :51:07.watching her. The risk is either yet emotionally involved in the moment,

:51:08. > :51:15.and he has to keep his mind on the job. He will be a six time Olympic

:51:16. > :51:20.medallist if he can. Now we come down to the individual sprint medal

:51:21. > :51:26.races, Katie Marchand on the right is racing for a bronze medal, it

:51:27. > :51:34.will be her first Olympic medal. Let's join the commentary with Chris

:51:35. > :51:40.Boardman and Simon Brotherton. Ellis Ligtlee stands between Katie

:51:41. > :51:48.Marchand and a bronze medal at the Olympic Games. She moved to cycling

:51:49. > :51:55.inside the last Olympic cycle in 2013. And in the hunt for a medal

:51:56. > :52:01.here at her first Olympic Games. Best of three, and off they go. I

:52:02. > :52:13.think it is going to be a close one less. Has shown some tactical

:52:14. > :52:17.brilliance in the race so far. What do you think might be the best way

:52:18. > :52:26.to approach trying to beat Ellis Ligtlee? Will it be to leave it as

:52:27. > :52:31.late as possible? She wants to be in control, she is very powerful, but

:52:32. > :52:38.she is a big athlete, and it takes a while to really wind it up, and it

:52:39. > :52:44.is possibly an advantage to keep it short and sharp, and not let her

:52:45. > :52:51.ride the race the way she wants to. With one and a half laps to go,

:52:52. > :52:57.Marchant has control. They come round to take the bell, last lap in

:52:58. > :53:00.this first raced for bronze, Katy Marchant leading the way, and Ellis

:53:01. > :53:06.Ligtlee, Gold medallist in the keirin, inching closer. She can't

:53:07. > :53:10.quite draw level at the moment, Katy Marchant up towards the line takes

:53:11. > :53:14.that first ride. She went a little wide around the back, outside the

:53:15. > :53:20.sprinters line a little, would be worth a look. But Katy Marchant

:53:21. > :53:25.first over the line. I was wincing a little bit there because it was just

:53:26. > :53:29.100 metres to go, she came out of the sprinters line, it is whether

:53:30. > :53:34.the judges consider that to be impeded her competitor's progress.

:53:35. > :53:39.She wasn't overlapping at the time, until this point in the competition

:53:40. > :53:44.the judges have been using the spirit of the rule rather than the

:53:45. > :53:48.exact rule. Did it in PDL the rider rather than just looking at the

:53:49. > :53:54.line? For a new viewers to cycling, can you explain? The red line

:53:55. > :53:57.towards the bottom of the track, once you have entered that lane and

:53:58. > :54:03.the Sprint has started, you can't leave it. So once you have started

:54:04. > :54:06.the Sprint, because you can throw a hook to the rider coming round the

:54:07. > :54:11.outside and put them off the pace, put them off their line, so we will

:54:12. > :54:17.wait to see what the judges say, but I think she should be OK. And next

:54:18. > :54:20.up will be Becky James in the final. Clare

:54:21. > :54:31.CLARE BALDING: And this is Laura Trott celebrating her achievement

:54:32. > :54:34.and her gold medal, and she is very emotional, she was in that

:54:35. > :54:42.interview. She couldn't help herself. And there she goes to Jason

:54:43. > :54:44.Kenny, her husband to be. Probably the only person who really

:54:45. > :54:49.understands the pressure she has been under. Now, can Becky James

:54:50. > :54:57.join her on the gold medal podium? Here he -- she is in the first of

:54:58. > :55:01.her best of three sprints. COMMENTATOR: The Olympic sprint

:55:02. > :55:05.final between Becky James of Great Britain and Kristina Vogel from

:55:06. > :55:12.Germany. We have mentioned it before, Vogel seven times a world

:55:13. > :55:16.champion, the world sprint champion in 2014 and 15, she was third this

:55:17. > :55:22.year. Becky James lifted the world title three years ago. James opened

:55:23. > :55:27.this competition with the fastest time in qualifying, came clearly

:55:28. > :55:31.through to the final, but if there is one person that could get between

:55:32. > :55:34.her and a gold medal, that has the ability to really threaten her even

:55:35. > :55:42.with the form she has got, it is Vogel. Such a well rounded track

:55:43. > :55:46.rider, she can tactically do anything, has a real kick, and she

:55:47. > :55:52.will want to control Becky James here she can. She was world keirin

:55:53. > :55:58.champion, sixth over the line, in last place, so she has really got

:55:59. > :56:02.the bit between her teeth here, and she has been riding better and

:56:03. > :56:04.better the longer the competition has gone on. Becky James under

:56:05. > :56:09.instruction not to let her dictate the terms of the race, and she is

:56:10. > :56:13.riding excellently at the moment. And the Sprint is on now, and

:56:14. > :56:17.already Vogel trying to draw level, shoulder to shoulder down the back

:56:18. > :56:21.straight, Vogel draws level with James, James holding that inside

:56:22. > :56:24.line, and they are shoulder to shoulder into the finishing

:56:25. > :56:29.straight, and I think at the end Vogel might just have got it. So, so

:56:30. > :56:39.close, and I think you could be right. We just saw a bit of an elbow

:56:40. > :56:42.their from Vogel, to unsettle her competitor,. And Kristina Vogel

:56:43. > :56:50.takes the first race in the battle for gold. It was very well ridden by

:56:51. > :56:55.Becky James, I think she did well to control that one, and Vogel's form

:56:56. > :56:58.is just getting better and better, she didn't wait until the back

:56:59. > :57:02.straight, she decided to try to get on terms in the penultimate bend to

:57:03. > :57:08.make some progress down the back straight, and it was a drag race

:57:09. > :57:14.there. So tight as they came up to the line, and the German rider just

:57:15. > :57:18.inching in front. So, Becky James has to win the next race between the

:57:19. > :57:27.parent them to keep her gold medal chances alive.

:57:28. > :57:30.CLARE BALDING: Watching again, Vogel is so experienced, but how does

:57:31. > :57:36.Becky picked herself up again from this, and if she good at that?

:57:37. > :57:39.Sprinting, there is so much confidence involved, and Becky has

:57:40. > :57:43.been world champion before, she beat Vogel in the World Championships

:57:44. > :57:47.back in 2013, so it will be tough being beaten in a race, but it is

:57:48. > :57:52.best of three, so she needs to go away, refocus, look at the video and

:57:53. > :57:59.come back fighting. They show you the video between races? You have

:58:00. > :58:03.full analysis when you get back. I think Becky wrote that well, but

:58:04. > :58:07.Vogel seems to have the gas. She kept a close, and when Vogel tried

:58:08. > :58:12.to wind it up and gain height, Becky responded, she didn't panic, just

:58:13. > :58:17.drawing her down the track, Vogel here attacks, and you can see Becky

:58:18. > :58:22.was responding, she knew she was coming. I thought she was going to

:58:23. > :58:28.hang her out to dry, keep on the outside, but Vogel was so strong

:58:29. > :58:31.here, and it was anyone's race, Vogel stayed outside the red which

:58:32. > :58:35.was the right thing to do, and she just gets it by half a whale on the

:58:36. > :58:39.line. And although they came close, you don't think there was anything

:58:40. > :58:42.between them? If Vogel had encroached inside the red, that

:58:43. > :58:47.would have been illegal, but they held their lines, it was a fair

:58:48. > :58:51.Sprint. Knowing Becky as you do, just telling everybody the sort of

:58:52. > :58:56.struggle she has been three recent years and what it has taken to take

:58:57. > :59:01.her back to this level? She has had so many setbacks and injury over the

:59:02. > :59:04.years. She was on the long list of London 2012 but missed out having

:59:05. > :59:10.had a string of illnesses that year, so she had to sit out London 2012,

:59:11. > :59:17.but she back fighting, and in February 2013, she won two golden

:59:18. > :59:22.bronzes, so that was like she was back on the scene, but then 2014 was

:59:23. > :59:27.full of setbacks as well, and a cancer scare which meant missing the

:59:28. > :59:31.Commonwealth Games, which was a massive shame, she is very proud to

:59:32. > :59:36.be Welsh and could have competed at the Commonwealth Games. So she was

:59:37. > :59:40.back in for the 2016 World Championships this year, but she

:59:41. > :59:46.hadn't qualified for the Sprint. So she had to sit that out. So a string

:59:47. > :59:50.of bad luck, but so many glimmers of good form and good performances that

:59:51. > :59:54.if she just has a bit of consistent training, she can be very special,

:59:55. > :59:59.and fortunately for her, that has just come together at the right

:00:00. > :00:05.time. And her family are all here to support her, they very rarely go on

:00:06. > :00:11.the road. They wouldn't often be there. Her older sister Rachel is

:00:12. > :00:15.part of the para- cycling team is a tandem pilot, two of her younger

:00:16. > :00:20.sisters, I'm sure they have multiple national titles between them, so a

:00:21. > :00:26.very busy family, but very cycling orientated, very proud to be here

:00:27. > :00:32.this week. She has done full Miley well -- phenomenally well to get

:00:33. > :00:37.through, but she will have to take it to decide if she is to win gold

:00:38. > :00:40.medal. If you are tuning in for the news, that will follow at the

:00:41. > :00:47.conclusion of the cycling, because we still have a gold medal ceremony

:00:48. > :00:52.to come for Laura Trott. I nearly said Dame Laura Trott, giving her

:00:53. > :00:58.the not already! I apologise! And also Jason Kenny, and the second and

:00:59. > :01:02.we hope third races were Becky James. But let's bring you

:01:03. > :01:11.up-to-date on the Olympic headlines so far today.

:01:12. > :01:15.This is the leader of all of the news, Britain's Laura Trott has

:01:16. > :01:20.become the first British woman to win four gold medals after retaining

:01:21. > :01:28.her omnium titles, two golds in London, two more in Rio, and she is

:01:29. > :01:32.still only 24. There was confirmation today that Giles Scott

:01:33. > :01:34.has secured gold in the Finn class to give Britain their fifth

:01:35. > :01:41.successive Olympic title in the event. He follows in the footsteps

:01:42. > :01:45.of Sir Ben Ainslie. And there is more British success to

:01:46. > :01:52.celebrate, because Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark have upgraded their

:01:53. > :01:55.silver in the 470 from 2012 to gold in 2016. That will be confirmed when

:01:56. > :02:04.their final races competed tomorrow, but they can't be caught. Gymnast

:02:05. > :02:08.Amy Tinkler won a brilliant bronze on the floor, the 16-year-old from

:02:09. > :02:13.Durham is Team GB's youngest athlete and has had to combine training with

:02:14. > :02:20.doing her GCSEs. Definitely an a star performance today. Team GB's

:02:21. > :02:24.success of the gymnastics continued with another bronze thanks to eight

:02:25. > :02:27.River performance on the horizontal bar for 20-year-old Nile Wilson.

:02:28. > :02:39.That is seven medals for the British gymnastics team at these Games.

:02:40. > :02:48.And now is the moment for Laura Trott, her fourth Olympic gold

:02:49. > :02:54.medal. Simon Brotherstone. The athletes are standing just behind

:02:55. > :02:59.the podium, there is Laura Trott. This should be familiar for her

:03:00. > :03:05.having won so many gold medals at championships in her career. Missed

:03:06. > :03:10.the fourth time -- this is the fourth time at the Olympic Games

:03:11. > :03:17.that she has finished top of the pile. This is all hers on this

:03:18. > :03:23.particular occasion. She was the class of the field, make no mistake,

:03:24. > :03:37.from start to finish. Bronze for Belgium.

:03:38. > :03:46.Improving on her performance of four years ago, came in in great form and

:03:47. > :03:49.put up a strong challenge, it was a difficult battle for the silver

:03:50. > :04:01.medal, ultimately losing out, but still with a place on the podium. It

:04:02. > :04:12.is Jolien D'Hoore. Laura Trott will have to wait a little bit longer

:04:13. > :04:15.because next in is Sarah Hammer from the United States. She might not be

:04:16. > :04:20.quite so happy with her silver medal as Jolien D'Hoore is with her bronze

:04:21. > :04:27.medal. Sarah Hammer, a great track rider. Eight times world champion.

:04:28. > :04:38.Five times in the individual pursuit. And she should be pleased.

:04:39. > :04:43.She is a worthy winner of the silver medal and she could not have done

:04:44. > :04:50.any more in pursuit of that gold medal. A second silver medal of

:04:51. > :04:54.these Olympic Games. You are exactly right, she fought hard for that

:04:55. > :05:09.medal, there was absolutely nothing more she could have done, she can be

:05:10. > :05:14.content. And now a special moment... Gold medallist and Olympic

:05:15. > :05:26.champion... Representing Great Britain...

:05:27. > :05:37.Laura Trott! Standing ovation, richly deserved. Laura Trott, what

:05:38. > :05:42.an inspirational figure, does not look like our muscle-bound

:05:43. > :05:46.superhuman, but put on two wheels and she packs a real punch, no one

:05:47. > :05:52.could live with her over the next -- last few days in the omnium, a

:05:53. > :05:59.second gold medal here in Rio to one with the two won in London. A

:06:00. > :06:06.landmark in British Olympic history, first British woman to win four

:06:07. > :06:10.Olympic goals. -- gold medals. I cannot believe that she cannot

:06:11. > :06:12.believe it because everyone else was believing it on her behalf all the

:06:13. > :07:08.way through the competition! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. There was

:07:09. > :07:13.never any doubt, it was Laura Trott's Win from start to finish in

:07:14. > :07:16.the women's omnium, a spectacular performance at the end of a

:07:17. > :07:22.wonderful week for her, a world record in the women's team pursuit

:07:23. > :07:29.and a thoroughly dominant performance in the women's omnium, a

:07:30. > :07:35.double Olympic champion for the second games in a row. CLARE

:07:36. > :07:39.BALDING: What a fabulous moment. She may be emotional, but she did well

:07:40. > :07:44.to hold back her tears there. I do not know how people do not cry when

:07:45. > :07:48.their National Anthem is played in their honour. The news will follow,

:07:49. > :07:54.because there could be more success for Team GB. Jason Kenny will be

:07:55. > :08:00.very soon racing for a gold medal in the final of the keirin. And Becky

:08:01. > :08:04.James and Katie Marchand are battling for medals in the

:08:05. > :08:10.individual sprint. Becky James needing to come back to take it to a

:08:11. > :08:12.decider. Katie Marchand involved in the bronze medal race and now live

:08:13. > :08:33.is the diving on BBC Four. Jack Laughner is that. Jason Kenny

:08:34. > :08:38.has to reset himself. It is lucky he is not hugely emotional. He says he

:08:39. > :08:46.is not marketable. He says he cannot help being a miserable sod. That is

:08:47. > :08:50.what he said. Laura is different. Laura is different. She is bubbly

:08:51. > :08:56.and very emotional and Jason is not at all. They say opposites attract.

:08:57. > :09:03.They are a great couple. Laura might get stressed and nervous and Jason

:09:04. > :09:07.brings her down well, calm her down. Laura brings out the best in Jason.

:09:08. > :09:12.Right now he is trying to focus on the job at hand and hopefully in a

:09:13. > :09:17.short while, they will have a celebration together. I am pretty

:09:18. > :09:24.confident. He has looked the best I have ever seen him. He seems to have

:09:25. > :09:28.this turn of speed that none of his rivals have. He could win from the

:09:29. > :09:36.front or the back. Hopefully he will take it on early. There are a couple

:09:37. > :09:44.of jokers in the pack. There is the Malaysians who is unpredictable.

:09:45. > :09:49.That is the only real danger. That sounds like the major danger. The

:09:50. > :09:54.only time he has ever been beaten at an Olympic Games is by you in a

:09:55. > :09:58.sprint final. He has got five gold medals and one silver and could be

:09:59. > :10:05.going for his sect. Let us head back down. There are days, the gold

:10:06. > :10:10.medal, number four, tell me what it felt like to be on top of the podium

:10:11. > :10:17.again? I am so happy. I am so glad that I was able to put it together.

:10:18. > :10:21.It is due to people who are not here, people who are the people in

:10:22. > :10:25.the background to put in so much work. They put up with me going

:10:26. > :10:30.through highs and lows and for it all to come together, I cannot thank

:10:31. > :10:36.them enough. You have delivered for all of them. Now it is Jason's turn,

:10:37. > :10:40.he has been watching you, can he bring home another gold medal? I

:10:41. > :10:46.hope so. He says he thinks he has the legs for it. I hope he does not

:10:47. > :10:50.mess it up! Had you been able to enjoy watching each other or is it

:10:51. > :10:56.pure focus on your own events? I have been able to watch it, enjoy is

:10:57. > :11:01.not the word I would use, it makes me more nervous watching Jason. I am

:11:02. > :11:06.not in control of it, I am not always in control of an omnium. I

:11:07. > :11:15.have no idea how he is feeling. We will find out soon. Thank you. CLARE

:11:16. > :11:18.BALDING: When Chris Hoy won three gold medals, you are the first

:11:19. > :11:23.person to do that, the first British person to do that for 100 years and

:11:24. > :11:30.here is Jason Kenny about to do it again! For the second Olympics in a

:11:31. > :11:35.row. He wants to make it look easy so it diminishes my achievement.

:11:36. > :11:43.Here we go with the bronze medal race, the second and the best three.

:11:44. > :11:55.Katie Marchand won the first, can she win the second. Jason Kenny is

:11:56. > :11:58.coming up in 15 minutes. So Katy Marchant who leave this race for the

:11:59. > :12:09.bronze medal alongside Ella slightly.

:12:10. > :12:15.-- Ellis Ligtlee. Ellis Ligtlee?, the winner of the keirin earlier in

:12:16. > :12:25.the wake. Looking for her second medal of these Olympic Games. Katy

:12:26. > :12:38.Marchant in her first Olympics. Has performed so so well. Ellis Ligtlee,

:12:39. > :12:52.the world sprint medallist last year, she lost to Kristina Vogel

:12:53. > :12:58.last year. We knew that her form was very good. Even before coming to Rio

:12:59. > :13:05.for these games. I still think she can do this. If she does not get

:13:06. > :13:11.this one, she will not get the opportunity. She has the beating of

:13:12. > :13:15.Ellis Ligtlee, we said it would be close and that is what it is proving

:13:16. > :13:25.to be, she will have to fight all the way. Eight medals won by Great

:13:26. > :13:30.Britain so far, nine medals in total if you include the bronze medal won

:13:31. > :13:47.by Chris Froome. It seems a long time ago now. Quite a lot has

:13:48. > :13:52.happened since then. It has. Ellis Ligtlee, raising the pace every time

:13:53. > :13:57.that Katy Marchant heads up the track. Distance versus speed all the

:13:58. > :14:01.time, height is the superior acceleration countered by increasing

:14:02. > :14:06.the speed and trying to increase the distance. The crowd watching

:14:07. > :14:12.intently and quietly, the pressure building. Complex calculation that

:14:13. > :14:15.goes on, it is hard to verbalise. Marchant deciding she wants to get

:14:16. > :14:20.in control and start this early. They take the bell, can Katy

:14:21. > :14:26.Marchant finish off this race or will go to a decider. Ligtlee pole

:14:27. > :14:32.position and now Katy Marchant makes her move. It is looking good, what

:14:33. > :14:36.has Ligtlee got left? Has she got the legs? Can Katy Marchant get it

:14:37. > :14:40.on the line? I think she can and Katy Marchant through her bike at

:14:41. > :14:44.the line, right at the last moment, Ligtlee doing everything she

:14:45. > :14:49.possibly could to hold her off, we wait for confirmation, but I think

:14:50. > :14:54.that there she may well have sealed the deal and won the bronze medal!

:14:55. > :14:59.She think she did. It was very close. And she has! A late charge

:15:00. > :15:05.but she kept her hopes. Alive Ligtlee turned it into the race she

:15:06. > :15:10.wanted, it was a drag race the end, but Katy Marchant, the acceleration

:15:11. > :15:14.gave her a shot at it. Brilliant from Katy Marchant, she claims the

:15:15. > :15:18.bronze medal in the women's sprint in a straight ride against the

:15:19. > :15:24.Olympic keirin champion. Katy Marchant here, plenty to do, Ligtlee

:15:25. > :15:28.was in a good position, but you can sense that she was going to have the

:15:29. > :15:34.speed to come past and the lying, she just about got there. Right on

:15:35. > :15:41.the lunch. It is when she threw the bag. Timing as much as anything.

:15:42. > :15:50.Ligtlee slightly earlier -- bank. Hope still alive. She has got that I

:15:51. > :15:57.know more than a tyre's wed. It is confirmed as the bronze medal for

:15:58. > :16:02.Katy Marchant. That is a fantastic achievement. That is unbelievable.

:16:03. > :16:08.Katy Marchant coming into her first Olympic Games. I was so focused

:16:09. > :16:13.their on their Becky James ride coming up, I did not realise she had

:16:14. > :16:17.just done it. I was so focused on watching the spread, what a

:16:18. > :16:21.delightful result. That was sensational from Katy Marchant, to

:16:22. > :16:25.get that bronze medal against a rider with more experience and with

:16:26. > :16:31.real pedigree and major championships already. Even just

:16:32. > :16:36.getting to the last four was a real result. That was beyond expectation

:16:37. > :16:40.from Katy Marchant by a long way. She could not possibly have done any

:16:41. > :16:46.more. That is a brilliant bronze medal for the Yorkshire woman and

:16:47. > :16:51.now Becky James against Kristina Vogel in the race for the gold

:16:52. > :16:56.medal. Maybe some mind games there, I am not sure what happened,

:16:57. > :17:00.Kristina Vogel rolling off the start line and Becky James going with her.

:17:01. > :17:07.I do not know if there is a slight issue.

:17:08. > :17:11.Vogel I think is suggesting there is a problem with her bike, so

:17:12. > :17:16.something from Becky James to content with. Just to keep her

:17:17. > :17:21.concentration here while Vogel has an adjustment made to her bike, just

:17:22. > :17:26.adding to the tension, if that was indeed required. Travelling over 60

:17:27. > :17:33.kilometres per hour, you wouldn't want a problem. It looks like the

:17:34. > :17:38.camera might be a little loose. Chris Hoy, I wonder what you make of

:17:39. > :17:43.that. It looks like there is a problem with the bike, was the

:17:44. > :17:47.camera loose? Is she stalling for time, gamesmanship, trying to put

:17:48. > :17:51.off Becky? Who knows? If you notice anything wrong with the bike, you

:17:52. > :17:56.wouldn't start the race, but fingers crossed, hopefully it is nothing

:17:57. > :18:00.untoward and she has just had a minor problem with the bike.

:18:01. > :18:04.CLARE BALDING: The point you made about Katy Marchant winning the

:18:05. > :18:08.bronze, it means? It wasn't an event we were expecting to win any medals

:18:09. > :18:16.in going into this, is that eight now? Doesn't it also mean that

:18:17. > :18:20.everyone has won a medal? Yes, sorry, at least someone is paying

:18:21. > :18:24.attention! Every single member of the track cycling team now has a

:18:25. > :18:29.medal, which is incredible. I make that ten medals in total for

:18:30. > :18:34.Great Britain, five on the track, three silvers and two bronze medals,

:18:35. > :18:39.one of them on the track and one in the road time trial from Chris

:18:40. > :18:42.Froome. So, Becky James just keeping focused on the job at hand here

:18:43. > :18:47.after that slight interruption for a couple of minutes. Jan Van Eiden,

:18:48. > :18:53.the coach, holding her on the start line. Nerves jangling. Probably the

:18:54. > :18:57.best seat in the house to be one of the British sprint coaches at the

:18:58. > :19:02.moment, they couldn't have done a better job, they must be delighted.

:19:03. > :19:05.The coach is a former sprint champion himself, knows what it is

:19:06. > :19:10.like to be in this position, that is a comfort for the athletes. Becky

:19:11. > :19:15.James has done so well to keep in this final. She wasn't the favourite

:19:16. > :19:18.coming to Rio for the women's sprint, not by a long way, but we

:19:19. > :19:24.know she has the talent when she has her best. Guaranteed two medals for

:19:25. > :19:33.the British sprinters in this event, it is just a question of colour.

:19:34. > :19:36.Vogel on fantastic form at the moment, shows great acceleration,

:19:37. > :19:40.and we know that she has the skill and the experience, so a real test

:19:41. > :19:47.from Becky James, but I think she can do it. Hang onto hats,

:19:48. > :19:55.everybody. Becky James has to win this race to keep alive her hopes of

:19:56. > :20:00.claiming the gold medal. Vogel is really trying to unsettle her, isn't

:20:01. > :20:04.she? This is what they do when they are trying to do a track stand, move

:20:05. > :20:09.the back wheel up the track, and then press backwards on the pedal,

:20:10. > :20:12.fixed wheel, so they can just balance by pushing back and

:20:13. > :20:19.forwards, but it wasn't about that, it is just trying to unsettle James.

:20:20. > :20:23.Slowly rolling around the bottom of the track, they are still on the

:20:24. > :20:30.first lap, coming into the finishing straight. Vogel watching James like

:20:31. > :20:34.a hawk, just sensing any movement coming from behind her from the

:20:35. > :20:40.British rider, who now starts just wind it up, the parent them upping

:20:41. > :20:44.the paste noticeably. Less than two laps to go, both riders want to get

:20:45. > :20:47.this under way, and it will be difficult to know how to come round

:20:48. > :20:53.Vogel, because she can think so fast here. Kristina Vogel on the front

:20:54. > :20:58.from Germany, Becky James Great Britain high on the track now,

:20:59. > :21:03.swooping down, the sprint is on. 200 metres to go, that is a big app to

:21:04. > :21:07.close, but she is starting to close it, Vogel is trying to hold off.

:21:08. > :21:13.Round the back and into the finishing straight, has she got the

:21:14. > :21:18.speed to do it? It was so close! May be Vogel possibly just held her off

:21:19. > :21:21.on the line. There was nothing in it between the parent them. It looks

:21:22. > :21:27.like she has broken her saddle in the land lunge over the line. What

:21:28. > :21:33.skill just to stay upright. There it is lying on the floor. That was

:21:34. > :21:36.extraordinary. That was the rattle we could hear, it wasn't the camera,

:21:37. > :21:42.it was the seat post, so very fortunate that she is OK. We're just

:21:43. > :21:46.waiting for confirmation, but I think that Kristina Vogel is the

:21:47. > :21:52.Olympic champion. Kristina Vogel takes it in two very, very tight

:21:53. > :21:56.rides, and Becky James wins a second silver medal here in Rio, but what a

:21:57. > :22:03.titanic struggle that was. It was well-deserved. She looked like she

:22:04. > :22:07.was going to be overtaken, but she is so clever, she saved a little bit

:22:08. > :22:12.extra for that last corner, and the lunge on the line did it, she

:22:13. > :22:15.tactically put everything together there. Well, she celebrate a gold

:22:16. > :22:19.medal, and she celebrates finishing in one piece despite the fact that

:22:20. > :22:26.she doesn't have a saddle on her bike any longer. She did well to

:22:27. > :22:29.hold that up. She can't believe it. She has an Olympic gold medal now

:22:30. > :22:35.for the second time in her career, Kristina Vogel, with Miriam Welte

:22:36. > :22:40.alongside her, they won the team sprint in London, and just down

:22:41. > :22:46.below us in the finishing straight, Becky James, what a week she has

:22:47. > :22:51.had. It has been such a comeback, such a long road back for her,

:22:52. > :22:54.career threatening injury, major health scare, it is only on the last

:22:55. > :22:58.few months that she has started to show signs of coming back to her

:22:59. > :23:02.very best, and if you had said to her coming to Rio that she would fly

:23:03. > :23:07.home with two silver medals, she would have been more than happy. She

:23:08. > :23:10.would, but her expectations have gone up, and I think she has to

:23:11. > :23:16.accept the reality that she rode fantastically. She would dearly love

:23:17. > :23:20.to have had goals, but that is a competitor for you, and I think she

:23:21. > :23:24.will have in the future. Of course she is not happy at the moment, she

:23:25. > :23:28.has just been edged out in the biggest race of her life, but she

:23:29. > :23:33.pushed Kristina Vogel, the world champion in two of the last three

:23:34. > :23:37.years, all the way to the line. Katy Marchant on the right winning bronze

:23:38. > :23:41.for Great Britain, and Becky James claiming the silver, so another two

:23:42. > :23:50.medals to add to the tally. CLARE BALDING: And Team GB are

:23:51. > :23:58.getting mighty close to the target that was set but also to the total

:23:59. > :24:06.from Beijing, medals, and I think 46 now in total, 45? 47, in fact! So

:24:07. > :24:11.already equal. Beautiful scenes there, and for the two of them, and

:24:12. > :24:14.particularly George North they're embracing Becky James, it has been

:24:15. > :24:20.such a tough battle back for her, and she deserves huge credit for the

:24:21. > :24:23.way in which she has handled it, and also for the speed, the way she

:24:24. > :24:29.deals with everything. She is such a popular member of the team. She

:24:30. > :24:32.certainly is. She is very popular among the sprinters and the

:24:33. > :24:37.endurance squad. I have known her since I started cycling, I was a

:24:38. > :24:40.junior and she was an under 14 rider, and she was already

:24:41. > :24:44.identified as having the raw talent to be an Olympic champion, and she

:24:45. > :24:51.is such a bubbly personality, always making cupcakes for the team. She

:24:52. > :25:01.loves her baking. And I quite enjoy eating it, so that is always good.

:25:02. > :25:04.She does a lot of cycling, and the Katy Marchant, and for Becky, so

:25:05. > :25:15.much more enjoyable to have each other. And you need that, that

:25:16. > :25:19.rivalry to push you through the season, to push yourself on on a

:25:20. > :25:23.daily basis. They are good friends, but they are fierce competitors, and

:25:24. > :25:29.to have two medallist in the women's sprint when we were really weren't

:25:30. > :25:31.expecting even one medal, this is definitely a bonus to the

:25:32. > :25:35.expectations at the start. The only regret I'm thinking is that we

:25:36. > :25:38.didn't get the women's team sprint qualified, that we didn't do that at

:25:39. > :25:43.the World Championships, because you would be looking at another medal

:25:44. > :25:49.for sure. Possibly, it is a very technical event. If you look at the

:25:50. > :25:54.Chinese, they are quite incredible. But we have a decent squad of riders

:25:55. > :25:57.coming through, and hopefully a whole generation of young female

:25:58. > :26:03.sprint athletes will be inspired to think, I fancy this. The 19th gold

:26:04. > :26:08.could be just around the corner, because Jason Kenny is not far away,

:26:09. > :26:12.but things are going well. We are going to stick with the cycling, the

:26:13. > :26:16.ten o'clock news will become the 10.13 years, it may even become a

:26:17. > :26:26.little later than that. -- the 10:30pm news. On BBC Four, Jack

:26:27. > :26:31.Laugher is in the men's three metres springboard diving final. And the

:26:32. > :26:35.pool by the way is now blue again. As you can see, they have managed to

:26:36. > :26:43.solve that problem. Still a mystery. And all of the boxing including

:26:44. > :26:51.Joshua Buatsi and Joe Joyce, those will be coming up in full on BBC

:26:52. > :27:02.Four from 1030. 10:30pm. Let's talk to both of GB's medallists.

:27:03. > :27:05.Many congratulations, a silver and a bronze, Katy, you only stepped onto

:27:06. > :27:10.the international scene 18 months ago, and you have a medal. I am just

:27:11. > :27:14.so happy, all the hard work and the tears and sweat has paid off. You

:27:15. > :27:18.worked so hard and you were so disappointed not to qualify at team

:27:19. > :27:23.sprint. What does it mean to come here and win a medal? I think it

:27:24. > :27:26.shows how hard me and Becky have worked as a team to focus on the

:27:27. > :27:30.individual events, and after the disappointment of the worlds, to be

:27:31. > :27:37.able to come back with two silvers and a bronze, it is surreal.

:27:38. > :27:41.Wonderful to see your coaches applaud, and I'm sure Tony Minna

:27:42. > :27:47.cello will be delighted as well, you are hacked athlete not that long

:27:48. > :27:50.ago. Yes, and him and Justin, all of the hard work and believe they had

:27:51. > :27:54.in me, I have a bronze medal, I cannot believe it! And all of the

:27:55. > :28:00.riders who have come to these games are going with a medal, and this

:28:01. > :28:06.young lady is going home with two. I know you wanted the gold so badly. I

:28:07. > :28:09.did, I really wanted to win today, and it was disappointing, I felt so

:28:10. > :28:14.good, but she just had the legs on me, she has been an incredible

:28:15. > :28:18.rider, and she deserves it, but I would never have expected to come

:28:19. > :28:23.and win two silvers, so I am over the moon. She had to break her bike

:28:24. > :28:27.in order to win, let's not forget! I did hear the saddle go crack, it was

:28:28. > :28:32.close and I thought I might have just had it, but I am really happy.

:28:33. > :28:36.You will reflect on this and the time you have had in the lead up to

:28:37. > :28:39.these games, of course the disappointment of missing out on a

:28:40. > :28:43.place in London, and to bring all the family out here, I know they

:28:44. > :28:48.will be excited at home as well. It is so special, and it means as much

:28:49. > :28:51.to them as it does to me, for them to be able to celebrate with me now,

:28:52. > :28:53.and we can enjoy it now it is finished. Thank you very much

:28:54. > :29:02.indeed. Thanks! CLARE BALDING: As you can see behind

:29:03. > :29:07.the girls, the first of the keirin races for places 7-12 has started,

:29:08. > :29:14.but there has been a crash already, the Australian rider down on his

:29:15. > :29:18.backside. Matthew Glaister, yes. It was fairly low speed, but it is

:29:19. > :29:25.unsettling. You don't want this to happen right at the start of the

:29:26. > :29:29.race. Will they restart it? Yes, there will be a restart, they fired

:29:30. > :29:34.the gun. It isn't a medal ride off, but not great. But it does give us

:29:35. > :29:38.time to build up in full to Jason Kenny, and what he has achieved so

:29:39. > :29:45.far, what he could yet achieve. He is going for a sixth Olympic gold

:29:46. > :29:48.medal. Who is he, what is he like? Let's ask those who know him best.

:29:49. > :29:58.But first, this is what he has done so far.

:29:59. > :30:06.COMMENTATOR: Kenny has released, they are the Olympic champions. Gold

:30:07. > :30:14.medal for Great Britain! Kenny is the Olympic sprint champion. Great

:30:15. > :30:20.Britain are in the lead, and the gold medal goes to Great Britain!

:30:21. > :30:24.Into the finishing straight, and Jason Kenny wins the gold medal, it

:30:25. > :30:31.is gold medal number five in the career of Jason Kenny.

:30:32. > :30:39.Can he do it? Chris Hoy has believed from the very beginning that yes you

:30:40. > :30:42.can. I think he can. It is an unpredictable event, anything can

:30:43. > :30:48.happen, but he has so much speed and confidence. We are keeping our

:30:49. > :30:52.fingers crossed, but this is a good chance of a medal window, third for

:30:53. > :31:01.Jason Kenny. Here is a bit more insight into him now.

:31:02. > :31:15.# Won't somebody me # I want somebody to tell me

:31:16. > :31:22.He is somebody who is deeply passionate about what he does. He

:31:23. > :31:25.does everything that he possibly can, he is surrounded by great

:31:26. > :31:31.coaches who understand him as a character. He is incredible, so

:31:32. > :31:37.talented, he is also very determined, he wants to know every

:31:38. > :31:45.little detail, and that is what makes him what he is. Kenny has gone

:31:46. > :31:51.ahead in the race, and he is the Olympics went to champion! Jason

:31:52. > :31:54.just doesn't put himself out there, he doesn't seek the limelight, he

:31:55. > :31:59.does his job and goes home, and likes having a quiet life, and I

:32:00. > :32:03.like the fact that somebody isn't seeking out any kind of celebrity,

:32:04. > :32:08.but unfortunately for him, it will be thrust upon him, because his

:32:09. > :32:12.results are such that it is this way whether he wanted to be or not.

:32:13. > :32:17.Jason Kenny has got this comedy wins the gold medal! He the Olympic

:32:18. > :32:23.sprint champion, gold medal number five in the career of Jason Kenny.

:32:24. > :32:25.He joins Sir Bradley Wiggins and Sir Steve Redgrave on five. Only Sir

:32:26. > :32:39.Chris Hoy is ahead of him now. Whether he gets her sixth medal or

:32:40. > :32:41.he does not, it is phenomenal. Will he equal Chris Hoy? He will batter

:32:42. > :33:02.him, absolutely. CLARE BALDING: And now we are just

:33:03. > :33:08.moments away from their keirin final. Jason Kenny going for his

:33:09. > :33:15.sixth Olympic gold medal. Let us head to the centre of the Velodrome,

:33:16. > :33:23.that is where Jill Douglas is. You can talk to people. What is the

:33:24. > :33:27.word? Everyone is feeling he has the legs, he looks super strong, he has

:33:28. > :33:34.looked strong since he stepped onto the track, but it is the keirin. The

:33:35. > :33:40.unfortunate thing is because of the delay, there he is there, he will

:33:41. > :33:44.now have to wait another few minutes because of the restart in the lower

:33:45. > :33:49.placing final. He will not be worried. He is keeping his head on,

:33:50. > :33:53.concentrating on what is happening in the next few minutes, going

:33:54. > :33:57.through the process. We heard Chris Hoy talk about it, you try to think

:33:58. > :34:03.about the race, block out everything else. He will not be able to block

:34:04. > :34:07.out the enormous British support. It has been remarkable. Not just family

:34:08. > :34:16.and friends, but so many British fans. And just a reminder that the

:34:17. > :34:21.ten o'clock news will follow the conclusion of the keirin medal race,

:34:22. > :34:29.but a slight delay because of the other lower places. You know what it

:34:30. > :34:34.is like in these moments before, how much do you plan exactly what you

:34:35. > :34:38.are going to do and when you get a delay, what does it do in terms of

:34:39. > :34:43.disruption? This is the most nerve-wracking part. Once I am on my

:34:44. > :34:51.bike, it is simple, you know what you are doing. In training, you warm

:34:52. > :34:55.up and you get on with your efforts, you do not have this much of a gap.

:34:56. > :35:01.It can be difficult. Delays like this, he will keep focus, or sit

:35:02. > :35:07.there and rest, it will not make much of a difference. It is about

:35:08. > :35:12.keeping your head cool and not over thinking matters. Meanwhile the B

:35:13. > :35:17.final has got underway. Our commentators will explain how this

:35:18. > :35:25.works. This is for the minor placings. A quick review of what we

:35:26. > :35:29.are watching. The keirin restricted by that bike. They cannot pass it or

:35:30. > :35:37.overlap it or the race will be stopped until it pulls back with two

:35:38. > :35:44.and a half laps remaining. The speed builds and when it swings off the

:35:45. > :35:49.track, then the race is on. And it is an elbows out free for all for

:35:50. > :35:57.the remaining two and a half laps. This is the minor places between

:35:58. > :36:01.7-12. As you would expect, a very good field. Sam Webster from New

:36:02. > :36:19.Zealand. He is the Commonwealth sprint champion. The Polish rider is

:36:20. > :36:26.third in line. Fourth in line is Christos Volikakis from Greece.

:36:27. > :36:34.Bringing up the rear is Matthew Glaetzer. They are leaving lots of

:36:35. > :36:38.gaps so they can watch each other and start to accelerate before it

:36:39. > :36:43.leaves the track. Webster did a long want to get through to this round

:36:44. > :36:47.and it looks like that is what he wants to do. Webster is an Olympic

:36:48. > :36:57.silver medallist in the team sprint. He leads the way. He is being

:36:58. > :37:04.followed by the Frenchman, 29-macro. Quite a big advantage for Webster

:37:05. > :37:07.who is staying on the front -- Michael D'Almeida. Michael D'Almeida

:37:08. > :37:14.trying to close in. Matthew Glaetzer in fourth place. 13 macro coming up.

:37:15. > :37:18.Webster is leading an Michael D'Almeida doing his best to throw

:37:19. > :37:25.his bike right on the line, keeping it close, the battle between those

:37:26. > :37:33.two, but once more the former world champion, Pervis not competitive. He

:37:34. > :37:43.had been a world champion, Michael D'Almeida got an armchair ride from

:37:44. > :37:47.Webster. His form was phenomenal. Webster takes the win finishing in

:37:48. > :37:52.seventh place, Michael D'Almeida is in eighth place, there is the

:37:53. > :38:00.finish, that is how close it was, the Frenchman pipped to the line.

:38:01. > :38:09.There is the Polish rider. Francois Pervis came 11th and Christos

:38:10. > :38:14.Volikakis 12th. The final comes next. CLARE BALDING: That is one way

:38:15. > :38:18.to do it, Sam Webster going for home and holding out. What do you expect

:38:19. > :38:22.Jason Kenny to do in the medal final? He might trying get close to

:38:23. > :38:26.the back of the bike and take him on early. If he is not at the front of

:38:27. > :38:32.the pack with about two laps to go, he will line it up and launch it and

:38:33. > :38:41.try and take control. He is third in line, not too far up the track, good

:38:42. > :38:45.chance of getting near the front. I think he can win it from the back or

:38:46. > :38:47.the front, he just needs to stay out of trouble. Azizulhasni Awang is

:38:48. > :38:52.dangerous. Zielinski looked strong in his heat. But no one there has

:38:53. > :38:58.the chance of beating Jason if he gets it right. The destiny is in his

:38:59. > :39:02.own hands. Here's cool customer, never shows signs that he feels

:39:03. > :39:07.nervous or gets excited about much, but a sixth gold medal would be an

:39:08. > :39:11.historic achievement join him level with the man sitting alongside me,

:39:12. > :39:16.Chris Hoy, in terms of Olympic achievement and he is definitely

:39:17. > :39:21.capable of that. Chris Boardman and Simon Brotherstone will describe

:39:22. > :39:29.this moment. So, Jason Kenny making sure that his feet are securely

:39:30. > :39:34.strapped in. His handmade carbon fibre shoes, custom-made for the

:39:35. > :39:39.athletes are clipped into the pedals, so much power, peaking at

:39:40. > :39:44.1000 watts, the Velcro is the most common because it gives you a good

:39:45. > :39:50.widespread of the load and is slightly more aerodynamic. Jason

:39:51. > :39:55.Kenny, my biggest worry is that we can all see, he is such a favourite,

:39:56. > :39:59.you worry to tempt fate but he looks so strong, like he was in a

:40:00. > :40:08.different race in the previous round. The current world champion

:40:09. > :40:11.will present a challenge. There is Azizulhasni Awang. The first

:40:12. > :40:18.Malaysian to win a cycling medal a few years ago. Jason Kenny, can he

:40:19. > :40:23.claim a sixth gold medal? Looking at Zielinski from Poland, he is the

:40:24. > :40:30.real wild card. There is the world champion and he can go for a long

:40:31. > :40:35.one, Joachim Eilers. Interesting one, his form was devastating in the

:40:36. > :40:39.previous ride. What will the others do? Just right for the silver medal?

:40:40. > :40:47.Will they try something drastic to try and dethrone him. Zielinski very

:40:48. > :40:57.experience. There is the rider from the Netherlands,

:40:58. > :41:09.Matthijs Buchli. Azizulhasni Awang from Malaysia. Another one more than

:41:10. > :41:13.capable of landing a medal here. Great fun to watch, no matter the

:41:14. > :41:17.result, he will do something that will entertain us. Fabian Hernando

:41:18. > :41:29.Puerta Zapata, the silver medallist in the World Championship two years

:41:30. > :41:34.ago. It is time for a combination of quick legs and a cool head. And

:41:35. > :41:42.quick thinking as well, because the dynamics of this race change so

:41:43. > :41:49.quickly. The gun will fire, the race will be on. The bike is slowly

:41:50. > :41:55.making its way around, ready to go. Any moment now and they are off in

:41:56. > :42:01.the Olympic final, eight laps of the track. Jason Kenny chasing a British

:42:02. > :42:10.record equalling sixth gold medal. Awang wanted the front position. He

:42:11. > :42:17.will want to let someone else, over the top. They're all content but the

:42:18. > :42:21.position as the speed builds slowly towards 50 kilometres. We will

:42:22. > :42:29.familiarise you with who is who, Awang in the yellow and black of

:42:30. > :42:33.Malaysia. All the Colombian rider, Fabian Hernando Puerta Zapata, Jason

:42:34. > :42:37.Kenny is third in line, fourth in Orange is Matthijs Buchli from the

:42:38. > :42:40.Netherlands, then the Polish rider, Zielinski and at the back at the

:42:41. > :42:49.moment, he has sat there are more than once in this competition,

:42:50. > :42:52.strong, powerful rider is the current world champion, Joachim

:42:53. > :42:56.Eilers. There are a lot of different plans and ideas that will intercept

:42:57. > :43:00.with each other shortly. Joachim Eilers will probably lie off the

:43:01. > :43:05.back as the bike comes towards the swing of point and he will start his

:43:06. > :43:10.charge early, anticipating the moment when the race can start.

:43:11. > :43:14.Jason Kenny was the world keirin champion three years ago but has

:43:15. > :43:18.never won a medal in the Olympics in this event, all his medals have come

:43:19. > :43:22.in the team sprint and the sprint. To qualify for this final was an

:43:23. > :43:26.amazing ride, the way he came around the outside and literally rode away

:43:27. > :43:31.from the rest of the field, this is the final, it will not be so easy,

:43:32. > :43:36.but the form is there. The race will really be on shortly, they will

:43:37. > :43:40.start to look around, the gaps are starting to open up. Moving up into

:43:41. > :43:44.second position, he wants to get into that pole spot as quickly as

:43:45. > :43:49.possible, he will try and take this from the front and it is on. Here we

:43:50. > :43:54.go. They overlapped the bike and ride at the very last moment. Right

:43:55. > :44:04.as the bike was peeling off the track! I do not know who did that.

:44:05. > :44:08.And we have to hope that that was not Jason Kenny. And it was right at

:44:09. > :44:16.the moment where the bike appealed off the track. I do not know, from

:44:17. > :44:20.that angle, I cannot tell if it was Awang or Jason Kenny but they nearly

:44:21. > :44:31.did it in the previous ride as well. We will have to wait to hear from

:44:32. > :44:35.the judges. The riders will roll around, they thought they were in

:44:36. > :44:43.the closing stages of the final, but not so. Awang and Jason Kenny were

:44:44. > :44:49.both at the from there. Laura Trott waiting anxiously for news. The

:44:50. > :44:59.officials all gathered around the table below us. Looking at the

:45:00. > :45:02.footage. Who was the rider who cause the infringement there? The riders

:45:03. > :45:08.are still rolling around the bottom of the track. We were just moments

:45:09. > :45:19.away, literally, it was a split second difference between the

:45:20. > :45:23.infringement and the race being on. We are just waiting to hear the

:45:24. > :45:32.outcome of this, this was it when they thought they were preparing to

:45:33. > :45:39.make the sprint. The judge has yet to announce their decision. On what

:45:40. > :45:43.will happen next. Let us look at the judges there, plenty of pairs of

:45:44. > :45:49.eyes looking at the footage. They are all watching intently. And there

:45:50. > :45:54.were a couple of factors, the journey bike appeared to come off

:45:55. > :46:01.the track a little bit late. Still on the track at this point and they

:46:02. > :46:09.had actually overlapped, as you can see. Just a question of who it was.

:46:10. > :46:18.Here is the footage once again, Jason Kenny and Awang, the two

:46:19. > :46:21.riders at the front. The rider will be disqualified, if I recall the

:46:22. > :46:27.rule, the person and we said we did not want to jinx this, if it was

:46:28. > :46:31.Jason Kenny, then he faces it being taken away from him, the tension

:46:32. > :46:41.could not be higher here now. Kenny or Awang, set to be penalised here.

:46:42. > :46:46.Still no decision from the judges. We could cut the tension with a

:46:47. > :46:50.knife here inside the Velodrome. Is that opportunity of a sixth gold

:46:51. > :46:55.medal be taken away from Jason Kenny in the most dramatic of

:46:56. > :47:02.circumstances. It was no more than a centimetre or two in it.

:47:03. > :47:08.That is the anxiety of an Olympic final, Kenny desperate to be the

:47:09. > :47:12.front man and take the race to them, but he might not get the chance

:47:13. > :47:15.here. The judges scrutinising it because they don't want to make a

:47:16. > :47:28.mistake when the stakes of this high. Chris Hoy, up in the

:47:29. > :47:32.presentation position? That was so frustrating, the rules are clear

:47:33. > :47:39.that you cannot overtake the pace bike before the start, but it is a

:47:40. > :47:45.little ambiguous as to when the pace rider comes off the track. So we are

:47:46. > :47:48.still awaiting a decision from the technical officials, and still Jason

:47:49. > :47:56.Kenny rolling around the bottom of the track. There it is once again.

:47:57. > :48:00.It looks to be Jason Kenny who was the lead rider. They possibly don't

:48:01. > :48:04.want to disqualify somebody, but the race has been stopped, so somebody

:48:05. > :48:17.has to pay the price. It was no more than a tyre's width difference. The

:48:18. > :48:24.pace is leaving the track at the half lap point, Wendy you judge the

:48:25. > :48:28.pace has left the track as well, there is so much that is still

:48:29. > :48:35.woolly with these rules. We will have to wait and see what they say.

:48:36. > :48:40.They are taking their time, so it is obviously far from clear cut.

:48:41. > :48:46.Exactly. As Chris pointed out, when exactly is that moment? What is off

:48:47. > :48:51.the track? Is it completely off the boards, is it below the line? There

:48:52. > :48:59.is a lot that is open to interpretation. Nerve shredding for

:49:00. > :49:08.A nerve biting finish to the track racing here. -- nerve shredding for

:49:09. > :49:14.the athletes, they have waited for quite a while now. The coach for

:49:15. > :49:18.Great Britain is having a look at the footage himself. Or is he

:49:19. > :49:22.looking at regulations? There is an interpretation guide to the rules,

:49:23. > :49:26.sometimes they are ambiguous, so you must stay with the pace bike, what

:49:27. > :49:30.does that mean? It says you must stay within ten metres, so there are

:49:31. > :49:34.almost two sets of rules. He has found something he is keen to point

:49:35. > :49:39.out. It is good they have a relationship where they can talk

:49:40. > :49:44.about these things. The ultimate decision goes to the chief judge who

:49:45. > :49:47.is sat outside of the track, so nobody can interfere with his

:49:48. > :49:52.decision-making, but Iain Dyer earning his money here, trying to

:49:53. > :49:57.give his rider the best possible chance, staying completely calm.

:49:58. > :50:04.This is how close call it was, as the bike disappeared off the track

:50:05. > :50:09.on the inside. We are talking fractions here. We can see from the

:50:10. > :50:13.replay that there is an overlap, but what we don't know is where the

:50:14. > :50:17.overlap is and what designates the cut-off point for where the bike

:50:18. > :50:20.comes off the track. There is a lot of detail, and they might be

:50:21. > :50:23.flicking through the guide themselves down there, the

:50:24. > :50:27.commissars. I don't think they would like to see the final ended this

:50:28. > :50:34.way, and that is why they are taking it seriously. Disqualification is a

:50:35. > :50:36.terrible way to go out of in Olympic final, we saw the team sprint with a

:50:37. > :50:40.Victoria Pendleton where they overlap to wheel, this is a similar

:50:41. > :50:44.infringement. And there was a tight infringement called against China in

:50:45. > :50:51.the final against Germany four years ago when they thought they had won,

:50:52. > :50:55.but it was taken away from them. We are still waiting from the decision

:50:56. > :51:01.from the jury, it is taking a long, long time. They are working hard to

:51:02. > :51:05.make sure they make the right call. Every word in the rule book is being

:51:06. > :51:11.poured over. Every frame of the footage. The crowd is getting pretty

:51:12. > :51:16.restless here, because they are thinking, come on, you have all the

:51:17. > :51:19.information you need, make a decision, this is your job and what

:51:20. > :51:27.you are here for, to make the tough calls. Now is the moment. All of the

:51:28. > :51:31.riders will be able to stay in the race I think is what they have

:51:32. > :51:36.announced! What a relief! What a relief. And the parent them are

:51:37. > :51:39.allowed to race again. There couldn't be any more attention in

:51:40. > :51:44.the air, and think what is happened is they have said, we have fired the

:51:45. > :51:49.gun, we don't agree with that, we will overrule the decision. I have

:51:50. > :51:55.never seen that before. It is tense, tents on the centre of the track,

:51:56. > :51:58.and there is the reaction of Jason's fiance, Laura Trott, who could

:51:59. > :52:04.hardly bear to watch over the last few minutes. But Chris Hoy, a rip

:52:05. > :52:08.Reeva, and good to see, particularly from a British point of view, that

:52:09. > :52:14.everybody gets the chance to race again. That would have been a real

:52:15. > :52:17.shame from a sporting perspective not to have a full field. The

:52:18. > :52:23.trouble is the interpretation of the rules, it isn't as clear cut as it

:52:24. > :52:27.might seem. I was a bit worried, but thankfully we will see a straight

:52:28. > :52:31.race now. That is the most nervous I have been for the whole of these

:52:32. > :52:35.games, watching that, watching the judges analysing the video time and

:52:36. > :52:41.again. I think it was too much of a grey area for them to make a call as

:52:42. > :52:45.big as that. I can read the rule to you. The rider shall remain in media

:52:46. > :52:50.to behind the Pacer bike until such time as the Pacer leaves the track,

:52:51. > :52:54.and that is the ambiguity for you. If one or more riders passes the

:52:55. > :52:57.back wheel of the Pacer before they leave the track, doesn't say where,

:52:58. > :53:01.the race will be stopped and rerun without the riders at fault, who

:53:02. > :53:05.will be disqualified. So it sounds clear cut, but when you drill down

:53:06. > :53:08.into it, it isn't, so I think that was a just decision there, and we

:53:09. > :53:13.get to watch this final with everybody in attendance. All of the

:53:14. > :53:21.riders bar the world champion are up on the start line once again. They

:53:22. > :53:25.are just waiting for Joachim Eilers. I don't think I can stand this, you

:53:26. > :53:29.might have to do it alone! Hopefully you can stand another three minutes

:53:30. > :53:37.of it. Eilers is now ready on the outside. Here we go once more,

:53:38. > :53:41.Zielinski of Poland, Buchli of Poland, Awang of Malaysia, they have

:53:42. > :53:45.had a little rest, little being the operative word. We are about to get

:53:46. > :53:51.under way once again at the second attempt. Are not going to just see

:53:52. > :53:56.who is the strongest, it is who can deal with the nerves. They are all

:53:57. > :54:00.completely deadpan, but inside, this has to unsubtle you. It is difficult

:54:01. > :54:02.enough just watching, I can't imagine what it is like to restart

:54:03. > :54:09.an Olympic final in these conditions. The pace bike is under

:54:10. > :54:14.way now, coming around the back straight. A very relieved official

:54:15. > :54:20.from Malaysia are there in the centre of the track. And the Olympic

:54:21. > :54:30.Kirin final starts for the second time. Almost a rerun, Awang again

:54:31. > :54:35.going further back, Jason Kenny being allowed to take his third

:54:36. > :54:40.position. Eilers is already practising laying off. So, right

:54:41. > :54:47.behind the bike in the white, from Columbia, Puerto, then Awang, former

:54:48. > :54:51.silver medallist in the sprint in the World Championships. Jason Kenny

:54:52. > :54:56.third in line, then Buchli of the Netherlands in the orange, Zielinski

:54:57. > :55:00.from Poland in the White with a red stripe, and at the back, his

:55:01. > :55:06.familiar position in the keirin, the current world champion, Eilers from

:55:07. > :55:11.Germany. So, the speed slowly ramps up from 30 kilometres per hour to

:55:12. > :55:14.50. Five laps to go when they come around next time, the bike swings

:55:15. > :55:18.off with a round about two and a half laps to go, I am not going to

:55:19. > :55:25.be too precise! Maybe they will not be quite so keen to start the sprint

:55:26. > :55:27.behind the bike. I think we will see some rule changes, some

:55:28. > :55:41.clarifications coming in next year after that one. Pace increasing all

:55:42. > :55:46.the time. All neatly in place, but soon they will start to leave some

:55:47. > :55:50.gaps, just one and a half laps left before the race starts, and they

:55:51. > :55:56.will start to look around. Eilers will start his charge early, but

:55:57. > :55:59.timing is absolutely everything. The riders will start to look around,

:56:00. > :56:04.nerves will be jangling a little bit now, they will be on full alert.

:56:05. > :56:08.Jason Kenny keeping a close eye on Eilers moving up behind him. Now

:56:09. > :56:12.they have to be so careful, because they have been stung once, they

:56:13. > :56:18.can't afford to do it again. And they have done it again! That is

:56:19. > :56:22.absolutely unbelievable! You would have thought the riders would have

:56:23. > :56:26.been on red alert not to do that. I have never seen this before. I have

:56:27. > :56:29.never seen a race stopped because of an overlap in a major competition,

:56:30. > :56:33.and I have certainly never seen it twice. But I think Eilers was

:56:34. > :56:39.backpedalling hard at the top of the track, I think he could be the one

:56:40. > :56:41.that is taken out here. Let's get the confirmation, Zielinski was

:56:42. > :56:49.moving forward at a fair rate, the Polish rider. But Eilers certainly

:56:50. > :56:57.the furthest forward at that point. We will see a quick decision this

:56:58. > :57:01.time I think. It might not be only him, they don't just have to

:57:02. > :57:05.disqualify one person. Kenny got out of the saddle because he could see

:57:06. > :57:13.the frustration being held back, but he disciplined himself to wait I

:57:14. > :57:18.have never seen anything like this in a keirin. An interesting strategy

:57:19. > :57:22.that we don't normally see, Eilers was right at the top of the track,

:57:23. > :57:28.he really got height to try to charge down, but it means that as

:57:29. > :57:31.they come out of the bend, he is actually travelling forwards much

:57:32. > :57:39.faster and that was what was causing the problem. And anxious times now

:57:40. > :57:45.for the German coach. It wasn't a close run thing there, it looked

:57:46. > :57:48.pretty clear-cut. And I just find it really hard to believe that the

:57:49. > :57:53.world champion Alain that to happen, just moments after what had gone

:57:54. > :57:56.before. Just before this race started the first time, we talked

:57:57. > :58:00.about this and said, will they try to race for silver and go over his

:58:01. > :58:05.wheel, or will they try to do something drastic, to try to do

:58:06. > :58:11.something to stop him just having it all his own way, but look how fast

:58:12. > :58:17.he is coming forward there. So, just watching those pictures again of the

:58:18. > :58:18.riders as they started to overlap the bike. Let's go and join Jill

:58:19. > :58:28.Douglas. After the first I spoke to Jan Van

:58:29. > :58:36.Eiden, who said it was borderline when they came to look at all the

:58:37. > :58:39.riders in the first stoppage. One of the points that the teams have been

:58:40. > :58:43.making is that the camera isn't exactly on the line, and if you are

:58:44. > :58:48.going to make a call based on that, you need a photo finish camera, and

:58:49. > :58:56.they are saying that where the camera is positioned isn't exactly

:58:57. > :59:03.where it needs to be. S that is exactly the case, I think that is

:59:04. > :59:06.the problem that they have run into. Right now they are stuck with the

:59:07. > :59:12.infrastructure that they have got. I just wonder Chris Hoy whether you

:59:13. > :59:17.have an involved in your career in a race like this? You see this once in

:59:18. > :59:23.a blue moon where a rider will pass the back of the bike, but it is a

:59:24. > :59:30.new bike CLARE BALDING: Do you think there is

:59:31. > :59:36.a problem with the pace bike? Most of them will accelerate through

:59:37. > :59:40.that 50 metres, and it is rare you find yourself tripping over

:59:41. > :59:45.themselves to catch the back wheel. It is strange that it is happening

:59:46. > :59:49.twice in a row. This is a real test of Jason Kenny and his personality

:59:50. > :59:53.and how he can handle this. The first final was delayed, now effect

:59:54. > :59:57.of Lee two false starts in this just at the point where you are ramping

:59:58. > :00:06.up into your sprint. How is yet handling this? He seems to be the

:00:07. > :00:09.perfect person for this. This is playing into his hands, his

:00:10. > :00:19.strongest suit is dealing with extreme pressure. This would be a

:00:20. > :00:25.first,, he was riding around, staying calm, preparing for the

:00:26. > :00:28.decision, and when it was in his favour, no problems at all. Although

:00:29. > :00:32.there was more colour in his cheeks when he was previewed than at any

:00:33. > :00:37.stage during these Olympics, because normally he is very pale, and he

:00:38. > :00:42.almost wobbled in relief, I think. It is the Olympic final, but I

:00:43. > :00:49.honestly think he will deal with this absolutely, no problems at all.

:00:50. > :00:53.It is just that they are having a nervous break down, it is ten staff.

:00:54. > :00:56.I can only apologise to everybody watching and indeed to the ten

:00:57. > :01:02.o'clock news team, because this really doesn't normally happen.

:01:03. > :01:07.Effectively two false starts, and this is why it is hugely important,

:01:08. > :01:09.because this is the moment in British sport that Jason Kenny could

:01:10. > :01:14.leapfrog Sir Bradley Wiggins and go to the top of the tree in terms of

:01:15. > :01:19.most successful Olympian, Sir Chris Hoy out in front on his own with six

:01:20. > :01:24.gold medals and one silver, Jason Kenny trying to join him, already

:01:25. > :01:27.tonight we have seen Laura Trott in there, joint sixth, with four gold

:01:28. > :01:32.medals, in fact joint fifth it should be, because Ben Ainslie...

:01:33. > :01:38.No, he has one silver, that is right. I like that table, they are

:01:39. > :01:43.doing it in alphabetical order, so if he does get six, I will be on

:01:44. > :01:49.top! But you will be delighted for him. Of course! I am joking. I know.

:01:50. > :02:02.What decision have they made here, is Eilers in out? I think he is back

:02:03. > :02:05.in! It is not quite as clear-cut as it

:02:06. > :02:10.looked to us, and he has been allowed to stay in the race, so they

:02:11. > :02:13.are all there, and we are all hoping that it is time lucky, because this

:02:14. > :02:19.is descending into something of a farce.

:02:20. > :02:25.It is embarrassing that they cannot enforce their own rules because they

:02:26. > :02:29.do not have a camera in place to do it, but they cannot penalised

:02:30. > :02:37.someone unless they are sure. This could keep going again and again and

:02:38. > :02:43.again. The riders are getting ready to go and there is the president,

:02:44. > :02:47.Brian Cookson. Probably just making some notes on things that will have

:02:48. > :02:53.to be changed in future. What they are going to do now, I do not know.

:02:54. > :02:58.Interesting that comment that we cannot see and only Chris Hoy would

:02:59. > :03:02.know is the fact that the derny bike just accelerates a bit in the back

:03:03. > :03:05.straight to make sure that there is no overlap and maybe someone has had

:03:06. > :03:12.a word, because that would be a great way to fix it. We have seen

:03:13. > :03:27.everyone's tactics now. Let us hope the derny bike keeps going.

:03:28. > :03:31.Let us hope this is third time lucky in this Olympic keirin final. The

:03:32. > :03:34.start is exactly the same, Awang to the front, Jason Kenny in third, it

:03:35. > :03:37.is like Groundhog Day! Let us hope it does not end in the same fashion.

:03:38. > :03:40.Let us hope we get a thrilling race. It has been an incredible few days

:03:41. > :03:46.and let us hope it is a worthy final at the third time of asking. Awang

:03:47. > :03:51.in the front, Fabian Hernando Puerta Zapata in seconds, Jason Kenny third

:03:52. > :03:55.in line at the moment, Matthijs Buchli from the Netherlands in

:03:56. > :04:00.fourth, Zielinski in said and are very relieved Joachim Eilers in the

:04:01. > :04:04.rear position. I think he was very lucky to get away with that. Before

:04:05. > :04:09.we had a look at his tactics, and what they wanted to do, so clearly

:04:10. > :04:14.the tactic is to rush Jason Kenny from the off, get into the back of

:04:15. > :04:19.the pack and trying getting caught up in traffic. We know that and now

:04:20. > :04:22.he knows that as well. Cool as a cucumber, wasn't he? You could see

:04:23. > :04:28.them coming around the outside, he knew that he wanted to stop them but

:04:29. > :04:31.also he had one eye on the derny bike. They are desperate to give

:04:32. > :04:35.themselves the best fighting chance of beating Jason Kenny, but you know

:04:36. > :04:37.what the tactics will be, they were all a little too keen to get the

:04:38. > :04:52.sprint under way and put the pressure on the

:04:53. > :04:55.British rider early. Jason Kenny going for a British record equalling

:04:56. > :04:57.sixth Olympic gold medal here. One lap to go before that derny bike

:04:58. > :05:00.pulls off and we are seeing a repeat, Joachim Eilers starting to

:05:01. > :05:03.accelerate, some gaps being left. Jason Kenny has now left more of a

:05:04. > :05:10.gap so he can deal with that exhilaration and all of them keeping

:05:11. > :05:13.an eye, now we are underway and Joachim Eilers is in front, Jason

:05:14. > :05:16.Kenny in seconds, Zielinski goes around the outside of Jason Kenny,

:05:17. > :05:22.Jason Kenny following Joachim Eilers. Awang in fourth place.

:05:23. > :05:26.Fabian Hernando Puerta Zapata at the back. Zielinski leads with one lap

:05:27. > :05:32.to go. Joachim Eilers chasing, Jason Kenny has worked to do, he is

:05:33. > :05:37.closing the gap, here he comes! They will have to go around the outside.

:05:38. > :05:44.Joachim Eilers against Jason Kenny. Afterwards the line. Jason Kenny has

:05:45. > :05:49.got it! What a ride. It is a golden hat-trick in Rio for Jason Kenny. A

:05:50. > :05:53.British record equalling sixth gold medal and if that is not worth a

:05:54. > :05:58.standing ovation, I do not know what is. The rays off and running and

:05:59. > :06:05.finished at the third time of asking and it was worth waiting for, Chris

:06:06. > :06:08.Hoy has company, Jason Kenny has a sixth Olympic gold medal. They did

:06:09. > :06:13.everything they could, threw everything at him to try and get

:06:14. > :06:19.that one, but he waited, had the confidence, third in line, left

:06:20. > :06:22.himself room to accelerate and came at Joachim Eilers at exactly the

:06:23. > :06:27.right moment and he knew with more than half a lap to go that he had it

:06:28. > :06:34.won. Nerve shredding stuff. With those Sachsenring false starts Jason

:06:35. > :06:39.Kenny was pushed all the way, Zielinski did all he could to take

:06:40. > :06:43.control, Joachim Eilers raced in the way that he knows best. That was

:06:44. > :06:48.again racing from the front and trying to stay there. They could not

:06:49. > :06:53.deal with the searing pace of Jason Kenny. What an achievement, that is

:06:54. > :07:01.a landmark moment in British Olympic history. Emotion all around here,

:07:02. > :07:04.they say Jason is not an emotional character, but look at that, he

:07:05. > :07:11.leaves it all out there on the track. He makes us emotional. What

:07:12. > :07:17.an emotional evening for Laura Trott and for Jason Kenny. There is Laura

:07:18. > :07:22.who won Gold herself, they had ten gold medals between the pair of

:07:23. > :07:28.them. She has the emotion for both of them. The most understated

:07:29. > :07:36.Olympic hero you could ever wish to meet. Confirmation that Matthijs

:07:37. > :07:43.Buchli gets the silver medal for the Netherlands and Awang gets the

:07:44. > :07:48.bronze medal for Malaysia. He let them all fight it out. Matthijs

:07:49. > :07:56.Buchli was delighted. That was the best anyone could hope for here, the

:07:57. > :08:01.silver medal. He was here when Chris Hoy won. That race, in the end, at

:08:02. > :08:08.the third time of asking, was right up there with it. Yes, it was worth

:08:09. > :08:16.the wait, that is for sure. What a way to finish the competition here.

:08:17. > :08:22.Gold medals for Jason Kenny, for Great Britain on the track. They

:08:23. > :08:26.have won six gold medals, four silver medals and a bronze on the

:08:27. > :08:30.track plus the bronze from Chris firm in the road time trial,

:08:31. > :08:35.celebrations with the family start now and Jason Kenny hits alongside

:08:36. > :08:44.Chris Hoy at the top of the British Olympic treat -- Chris Froome. Vote

:08:45. > :08:54.Remain oh my word, the drama of that on the restart. -- CLARE BALDING:.

:08:55. > :08:59.Jason Kenny wins the sixth Olympic gold medal and to handle all of

:09:00. > :09:04.that, Chris Hoy, that really does take some sort of mental strength.

:09:05. > :09:10.Some strength of character, you can do all the work in the gym, all the

:09:11. > :09:14.hours on the road, but it is character. Just fantastic. To see

:09:15. > :09:20.what it means to him, the smile on his face, to see what it means to

:09:21. > :09:25.his family, Laura, the whole crowd, this is a really special moment. As

:09:26. > :09:30.he came around the track, Chris was applauding him and Jason turned and

:09:31. > :09:34.pointed to Chris Hoy and said thank you in a way, thank you for you

:09:35. > :09:40.setting him targets that he had to reach. When he came on the team just

:09:41. > :09:45.before Beijing in 2008, we knew we had a special addition to the team,

:09:46. > :09:49.even with all the talent and potential, I do not think we realise

:09:50. > :09:52.how special he was going to be. Phenomenal performance tonight and

:09:53. > :09:59.phenomenal performance all week. Just amazing. And when they finally

:10:00. > :10:05.did get under way, Jason was very careful to make sure he did not get

:10:06. > :10:09.stuck in a difficult position. He rode a very patient race, Zielinski

:10:10. > :10:13.and Joachim Eilers were determined to get to the front and he realise

:10:14. > :10:17.this and timed his move to perfection, Awang and Matthijs

:10:18. > :10:22.Buchli were coming with a late surge. Snicking his way through. It

:10:23. > :10:26.was not mega close, but it was close enough but it will be great to see

:10:27. > :10:40.the podium, you will have three people who are genuinely delighted.

:10:41. > :10:47.You knew that he had done it. Fabulous. Slightly embarrassing as

:10:48. > :10:52.well. To see you standing their applauding, that will mean an awful

:10:53. > :10:56.lot for him, he knows that there is no shred of resentment from view,

:10:57. > :11:00.you're genuinely delighted. He is a friend and you want to see your

:11:01. > :11:05.friends do well. He deserves this, he has earned it, he has worked hard

:11:06. > :11:10.and dealt with a lot of disappointment and setback, but here

:11:11. > :11:15.we are. Here is your friend Laura watching, it must have been for her,

:11:16. > :11:18.hugely distressing, I think she thought he had been disqualified, I

:11:19. > :11:23.do not know if she had time to say it, but when she was watching, she

:11:24. > :11:27.was really worried for him. I was glad for her that her race had gone,

:11:28. > :11:32.because I know she gets nervous watching Jason race and really races

:11:33. > :11:39.with him, so happy at worked out that way. Let us hear from him now.

:11:40. > :11:43.Your medal ceremony is coming up, but before you go and collect that

:11:44. > :11:50.six gold medal, how did you handle the nerves and remained focused? I

:11:51. > :11:54.do not know. I turned up at the Velodrome in a funny mood, I was

:11:55. > :11:58.happy. Not that I am not always happy, I do not know what was wrong

:11:59. > :12:04.with me, it felt like a dream. I am tired. I am floating through it. I

:12:05. > :12:09.really enjoyed today. You were the man for the big moment, six gold

:12:10. > :12:13.medals, we saw Chris Hoy applaud you, you are now equal with him, how

:12:14. > :12:19.does that sound? It is pretty mental. I was in Beijing with him

:12:20. > :12:24.and I knew it was special and as the years have gone by, I appreciate

:12:25. > :12:29.even more how special those Olympics were and how amazing he was. To come

:12:30. > :12:34.here and do the same is amazing. Precious moment with Laura, ten gold

:12:35. > :12:38.medals between you, that is not bad. Not a bad trip. I will let you go

:12:39. > :12:44.and collect that. I will see you in a moment. Thank you, Jason. CLARE

:12:45. > :12:48.BALDING: And that is typical of Jason Kenny, his response, I am so

:12:49. > :12:52.tired, I am just looking through it. He is so unimpressed with himself,

:12:53. > :12:58.but everyone else will have been impressed when they look at this.

:12:59. > :13:01.The updated table of Great Britain's most successful Olympians and Chris

:13:02. > :13:07.Hoy still in front by virtue of the alphabet. Jason Kenny joins you

:13:08. > :13:11.there with exactly the same tally and you are the only man who has

:13:12. > :13:18.ever beaten him at an Olympics. And he could yet go on to win who knows

:13:19. > :13:22.how many? Four years to enjoy this position. He has got so much

:13:23. > :13:27.potential, this is not him at his very best, there is more to come, I

:13:28. > :13:30.think he is on his way up. It is not great news for his rivals but

:13:31. > :13:33.fantastic for the British team and I hope they can go out there and

:13:34. > :13:39.savour this moment and enjoy the podium and take it all in. I am not

:13:40. > :13:42.sure what he has got in the bag but he is clearly determined to take it

:13:43. > :13:47.with them. They have to get changed into their tracksuits for the

:13:48. > :13:53.podium, that will be his podium sit. Right. We probably do not need to

:13:54. > :13:59.stay on the shots for too long. We are staying here for the medal

:14:00. > :14:02.ceremony and obviously a huge moment, but not only for Jason Kenny

:14:03. > :14:10.is this historic, but also for a British team at and away games. With

:14:11. > :14:14.five days still to go! When I heard that the British Olympic Association

:14:15. > :14:21.had set targets to become the best ever away games, you thought really?

:14:22. > :14:28.Incredible. You were just in the middle of offering an insight into

:14:29. > :14:32.what Laura Trott must be feeling, what do you think for her now, in a

:14:33. > :14:37.way you sometimes think, does it mean more to her than to him?

:14:38. > :14:42.Possibly or very close. They lived together in Manchester -based with

:14:43. > :14:46.all the squad there, train day in and day out and we see the blood

:14:47. > :14:50.sweat and tears that goes into this and to have it come off like this,

:14:51. > :14:55.it is amazing, but especially after that delay, I know when we had team

:14:56. > :14:59.pursuits with false starts, it can throw you and it was a long time

:15:00. > :15:03.between him finishing his warm up and getting the race underway but

:15:04. > :15:09.for Laura, that was agonising. I'm just glad her race was out of the

:15:10. > :15:15.way. She could just worry about him. It is always worse watching someone

:15:16. > :15:20.else. Fabulous that Jason Kenny managed to pull off victory in what

:15:21. > :15:26.had been a difficult build-up, Chris talk us through the final lap.

:15:27. > :15:30.Eilers made his move, Jason and closed the gap, Eilers gave a little

:15:31. > :15:34.flick, Matthijs Buchli was the danger man along with Awang but

:15:35. > :15:37.Jason had it covered. It was a controlled and measured right, he

:15:38. > :15:42.just followed the wheels and he turned on the power when he had to.

:15:43. > :15:46.Why is he so affective? He is a great change of pace and tough and

:15:47. > :15:50.speed, he is very efficient and small, he can follow wheels, has

:15:51. > :15:54.great bike handling but most of all he has come under pressure. That is

:15:55. > :15:58.what was tested most tonight because we had never seen the light of that

:15:59. > :16:03.tonight. I have never seen anything like that at any level but to have

:16:04. > :16:08.it happen at the Olympics, that was nerve-wracking. They are preparing

:16:09. > :16:14.for the medal ceremony and on BBC Four, the coverage of the diving

:16:15. > :16:20.continues and Jack Law is second going into the final round. There is

:16:21. > :16:24.Jack, already a gold medallist in the synchronised diving, could he

:16:25. > :16:31.win another medal on his own ayes he is in second place with one dive to

:16:32. > :16:36.go. It is live on BBC Four. Here at the Velodrome, British cycling have

:16:37. > :16:41.enjoyed another sensational Olympics and there is a real hope of more to

:16:42. > :16:45.come in the years ahead, because so many of them are young cyclists with

:16:46. > :16:52.years left in their legs, but as you can see, Rio 2016, even more

:16:53. > :16:56.successful than London, whether it will have as successful a tail end

:16:57. > :17:01.remains to be seen, but there are still chances to come and the sports

:17:02. > :17:05.that are incredibly successful and more so than ever, certainly include

:17:06. > :17:12.gymnastics whereas cycling is following on from what was already

:17:13. > :17:17.set. In terms of Rio medals, already, way ahead of what was

:17:18. > :17:21.anticipated. You definitely get the feeling that everyone feeds off

:17:22. > :17:32.success, so once the ball starts rolling, it really turns.

:17:33. > :17:36.Certainly within the cycling team, you have that belief that if the

:17:37. > :17:41.team has worked, the training has worked, it can work for you. There

:17:42. > :17:44.have been difficulties, Shane Sutton resigning so close to the games

:17:45. > :17:48.could have unsettled the team, but he did that for the right reasons to

:17:49. > :17:55.help the team focus, and I think he will be very proud watching the

:17:56. > :17:58.time, cheering them on. And, Joe, it obviously isn't or is popular with

:17:59. > :18:03.the opposition when it goes so well, Anna Mears has had some not very

:18:04. > :18:08.nice things to say. It must be tough for the opposition. The team peaked

:18:09. > :18:12.amazingly for Beijing, quite a few years between, peaked again for

:18:13. > :18:16.London, a quiet a few years again, and peaked here in Rio, so the

:18:17. > :18:22.opposition must think, we have got the measure of GB, we are on a run,

:18:23. > :18:26.but every time, we keep coming back stronger at the Olympic Games, so

:18:27. > :18:29.that must be quite frustrating for our rivals who might beat is in

:18:30. > :18:34.between the games, but then come here and we step it up again, so I

:18:35. > :18:39.can see their frustration, but everything we do is working towards

:18:40. > :18:42.the four-year cycle, all the incredible support staff that we

:18:43. > :18:48.have got, all those marginal games, they are all about this one race,

:18:49. > :18:52.and it does pay off. Our investments and all the hard work of everybody

:18:53. > :18:56.is paying off. And this was the reaction of Laura Trott, because she

:18:57. > :19:03.took to social media, I'm not quite sure when she did that. Our kids

:19:04. > :19:10.have to get some of these genes, she says were talking about the most

:19:11. > :19:13.successful couple certainly in British history, if not in global

:19:14. > :19:18.history. You feel sorry for the kids when it comes to Sportsday. I'm

:19:19. > :19:28.thinking of the rival parents on parents Sportsday! Right,

:19:29. > :19:35.preparations under way for Jason Kenny to receive his sixth gold

:19:36. > :19:42.medal, when Chris Hoy won three gold medals in 2008, he was the first

:19:43. > :19:46.Briton to do so for 100 years. Jason Kenny has followed that feat eight

:19:47. > :19:51.years later, after the delays and false starts, he remained calm, and

:19:52. > :19:58.there was no doubt that when it came to the finishing kick, Kenny had

:19:59. > :20:03.more than anyone else. Simon Brotherton, this is a moment I

:20:04. > :20:06.suspect any cycling fan will treasure forever, and it is all the

:20:07. > :20:11.British fans that have remained in the velodrome to enjoy it. They

:20:12. > :20:19.certainly had to wait for it tonight. The final finally under way

:20:20. > :20:23.and finished at the third time of asking, but a very anxious moment

:20:24. > :20:28.for Jason Kenny, who looked as if he may be disqualified from that first

:20:29. > :20:31.halting of the race. But all riders allowed to continue, and the same

:20:32. > :20:36.thing happened again, and the German rider was allowed to continue after

:20:37. > :20:41.the second infringement. It didn't faze him at all, nothing did. His

:20:42. > :20:47.expression didn't change, apart from while he was racing, before and

:20:48. > :20:54.after, he just looked stoic would be the word. Jason Kenny is always cool

:20:55. > :20:57.and understated, that is his manner, and it helped him tonight in the

:20:58. > :21:04.most nerve wracking situation he has probably been in in his career.

:21:05. > :21:08.Firstly after that first stoppage, the first. In the race, and then the

:21:09. > :21:17.second one as well, difficult for the riders to cope with. But he was

:21:18. > :21:28.just too good. There will be some tightening up of the rules after

:21:29. > :21:41.this, I think to make sure that doesn't happen again. And a medal in

:21:42. > :21:44.track cycle if Malaysia. Azizulhasni Awang, one of the most popular

:21:45. > :21:59.figures in world track cycle in, a real show man.

:22:00. > :22:04.Awang also the first Malaysia and to win a World Championship medal in

:22:05. > :22:07.track cycling when they got the silver in the sprint. I think that

:22:08. > :22:26.was in 2009. He will treasure that. Well, twice third in the World

:22:27. > :22:34.Championship, now second in the Olympic Games, from the Netherlands,

:22:35. > :22:59.Matthijs Buchli. And we are just moments away from

:23:00. > :23:19.Jason Kenny's big moment. His big moment on the podium.

:23:20. > :23:29.Jason Kenny in the form of his life. It has been a golden games for

:23:30. > :23:34.Britain's cyclists, none more so than the Kenny, six times Olympic

:23:35. > :24:05.gold medallist, no British athlete has ever won more.

:24:06. > :24:10.And an incredible conclusion to a quite wonderful week in the

:24:11. > :24:12.velodrome. Here comes the national anthem for the final time in the Rio

:24:13. > :24:46.velodrome. # Send her victorious

:24:47. > :24:50.# Happy and glorious # Long to reign over us

:24:51. > :25:06.# God save the Queen. # CHEERING

:25:07. > :25:10.Six golds for Jason Kenny in his career, six golds in Rio on the

:25:11. > :25:13.track for Britain's cyclists, four silver medals and a bronze on the

:25:14. > :25:25.track to go with it as well, 11th track cycling medals, 12 in total. A

:25:26. > :25:29.magnificent doesn't. -- dozen. CLARE BALDING: Wonderful stuff from

:25:30. > :25:35.the British track cycling team, and Jason Kenny sits on top of them with

:25:36. > :25:41.three gold medals, taking his total to six. We will have more reaction

:25:42. > :25:48.on BBC Two in a second, but staying here on BBC One for the anthem.

:25:49. > :25:53.Welcome to viewers on BBC Two, where Jason Kenny has just received his

:25:54. > :25:58.gold medal after victory in the keirin, a race that had to be

:25:59. > :26:04.restarted twice. And Jason Kenny departs the podium, and we will be

:26:05. > :26:11.talking to him again very shortly. But obviously having heard the

:26:12. > :26:15.anthem, and watch the medal ceremony complete on BBC One, we will leave

:26:16. > :26:20.you there, and rejoin us for the reaction of Sir Chris Hoy, who was

:26:21. > :26:27.walking on, looking on like a proud parent. As he watched Jason Kenny

:26:28. > :26:38.equal him, and that was quite a moment, wasn't it? The nature of the

:26:39. > :26:47.restart,, all three medallists still delighted to win the big smile from

:26:48. > :26:49.Jason Kenny, we will leave you here on BBC One for the news, which

:26:50. > :26:50.honestly has
