Day 11 BBC One: 19.00-23.25 Olympics

good evening to you if you are now joining us on BBC One, this is the

final of the women's floor, the last event in the women's artistic

gymnastics programme. We have just been watching Yan of charnel. Simone

Biles, the favourite is in fifth -- China. For viewers on BBC Two, it is

time to switch over to BBC One for continued coverage of what is one of

the highlights of the whole gymnastics programme, see you

Well, you are seeing the replays here of Wang Yan. She was very

efficient on her tumbling. Good veep, as you would always expect

from the Chinese. For me, she doesn't sell the routine in quite

the same way as we see some gymnasts. She starts quite nicely at

the beginning but the end is all about serious concentration. We will

see how the judges feel. They do have quite a lot of marks for

artistic 14 points 666, it is the highest

score we have seen so far. From the youngest gymnast. One of the

youngest, in this final. Fasana from Italy, 24 years old. Italy with two

gymnasts in this floor final, it is really a strong piece for them. And

again, the double twisting doubletalk. These gymnasts

performing that fantastically. -- double truck. They are allowed up to

four tumbles. This is the second one. Double straight, very clean

landing. Now the spin with the leg held high above the head gets a lot

of marks, as does that very nice full turning leap in the split

So two big important tumbles. Here comes the third. Double pike,

somersault. Really powerful tumbling, quick leaps. There is so

little to choose between these gymnasts, all performing fabulously.

MATT BAKER: We said the first of the competition is going to be very

close and then with the gymnasts to come in the latter part of this

final, brace yourself that the winning positions will change

because there are some very strong athletes to come. And you can see

here how powerful the tumbling is. To be in the floor final, you need

to be using the double twist of double somersault. The skill level

on the floor has really increased over the past four years since

London 2012. There were only a couple of gymnasts using those

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

down to? I think people are seeing what is making the medals, but also

the type of floor being used has been improved, so it is slightly

bouncier than it used to be but still, you have to have the power to

do those tumbles. I think you are right, Beth, the doors were open.

One or two gymnasts did the more difficult tumbles and people started

to think, this is a possibility. Yourself' great -- yourself

included. Very powerful and tumbling. In a very different way!

The score is exactly the same as Murakami, but the difficulty and

execution goes ahead of Murakami. Next, for Great Britain, Amy

Tinkler. The youngest member of Team GB as a whole. She is the British

floor champion. Some very big tumbles are going to be coming up in

this routine. Starts off very cleanly and great music, lived in

the crowd, already clapping along to it. -- lifting. The full back

straight. Really sells this routine. Straight back down the diagonal with

a double twisting double back. Fantastic first to tumbles from Amy.

Now has her chance to show her grade choreography. -- great choreography.

There is the turn into the one one half Philippe. She is building up to

her third tumble, she uses a combination tumble, the one one half

walk-out, into the double talk. Very cleanly performed. There is another

big jump and she building up to the final tumble. Such a powerful

gymnast. There is the double pike and a fantastic landing to finish

off. A great routine. MATT BAKER: Amy Tinkler looking very

at home in this Olympic floor final! Really positive, she is such an

expressive gymnast. She has wowed the crowd. The crowd got going

behind Amy there more than anyone else and Amy is from your neck of

the woods, from South Durham gym club and really performed

fantastically throughout these championships. First tumble, a

double straight somersault, with the twist in and the body travels really

slowly went you are straight, it is one of the most difficult tumbles

you will see. This is the double talk with twist. Always been a great

tumbler from a tiny gymnast. And so well rehearsed on the landings. She

didn't step and she couldn't have done that better. Amy is one of the

gymnasts that has really relished this. At the qualification, she was

at how it was and she said she loved it. At the qualification, she had

the biggest smile on her face, she wanted to be out there, wanted to

perform under the crowd were really enjoying that routine with her and,

as a gymnast, to perform with the crowd clapping along, it gives you

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

enormous 14.9 33. Amy Tinkler is in with a very good shout, Chris! That

is a fantastic score. She sold the routine so differently to so many of

the others. She lived it and she loved it and that is what makes the

difference. 14.933 is going to be up there. Simone Biles, the highest

qualifier, going for her fourth gold medal. Three times world champion.

Make sure you keep your eyes open. How high is that tumble?

Effortless sleeps so another big tumble on the way -- leaps. And such

an easy tumble out of it. Lovely control on the spin. It is the

height on everything she does that sets her apart. They have all done

fantastic tumbling, but this is so high so easy -- and so easy to land.

And she performs with real joy. The final move of her Olympic

championships, full twisting, double back. How does she do it? Absolutely

amazing performance. We just watched four gymnasts with wonderful tumbles

and she was at least a foot higher than them on every single tumble.

Amy Tinkler leads this women's floor final on a score of 14.933. I think

this will go higher. She has incredible height and such a

straight landing position. She posted a 6.8 difficulty in the

qualification and that is what sets her apart. Good spatial awareness to

nowhere it is. And she decides to tumble it into the third. And a

little quirky finish. It has been such a pleasure and a privilege to

watch her here. One of the pleasures of these

Olympic Games. The score is in and it is well ahead of the rest so far.

Over one market ahead. Amy Tinkler drops to second -- one mark. All

eyes focus on Steingruber, the European floor champion. Fourth

highest qualifier, she scored 14 points 666 in

We saw her taking the medal in vault earlier this week. Huge height on

these leaps. Didn't quite control that first jump. Double back and

re-bounds onto the floor, onto her hands, the judges will take a mark

on that are -- off that. Doesn't look settled. Here is the second,

just the double straight. There is the big jump, the big leaps. She has

changed her tumbles around compared to what we saw in the warm up. And

there is the full twisting double back and puts her hands down. She

has got to finish this routine of strongly. -- off

There are the two jumps together, with the full spin. And finishes the

routine off. Well, the crowd getting behind her in the latter part of

that routine, but it didn't go to plan. She will have to settle with

the bronze on vault. She will and that is really quite a surprise, she

is a very experienced gymnast, we have seen her perform that floor

routine twice already in qualification and in the all-around

final and she hadn't looked like she had problems, but even that first

jump, she didn't perform very well, didn't look settled. If you land

with your feet behind you, you just get a recoil from the floor. She

will be fine, but the floor is a very good floor for taking off on,

it is not a good floor for landing, unless you bolt upright and get your

feet down flat. She had obviously decided that there

was not any point in any more problems but the first ever Swiss

female gymnast to have medalled at an Olympics. Like you said, Matt,

bronze on the vault. Simone Biles will stay in the lead. I am sure Amy

Tinkler will stay in second. We see what the situation is with third.

Two more gymnasts to go. One is Aly Raisman, the other is Vanessa

Ferrari. Great Britain watch and wonder. Your

husband is down there, Chris. He is. He will be absolutely delighted. He

says she has really risen to the whole of the competition, feels

really at home in this environment, so delighted, I think. And I think I

am right in saying the next gymnast is the defending Olympic champion on

floor. Yes, Aly Raisman. We're having to wait a little bit longer

than she would have liked. There is a bit of deliberation going on with

the judges scoring. Will this be to do with execution? The judges tend

to know what routines are coming out and suddenly, they don't know what

to expect. She has a total score of 11.8. Way down on difficulty from

qualification. Now the corner of the floor for the second-highest

qualifier. And the reigning Olympic champion. She got the silver in the

all-around competition. The highest score she has posted here has been

15.433. This first tumble is something quite exceptional. She

goes into the double Arabian and then straight into a front

somersault. It is important to secure the spin.

Another sky-high tumble here. A double pike Arabian. She is on song

today. The only little deductions really

for a slight lack of split in the leaps.

A high-energy routine. Keeps it going until the end. A big double

pike finish. The tiniest of hops. We really are witnessing a celebration

of gymnastics here in Rio. What a floor final this is proving to be.

And just to witness gymnasts at the top of their game is something else.

Every gymnast here in this floor final looked up to their very best.

The American gymnasts are so well trained. They have done these

routines so many times. You never have a doubt that they will land

tumbles. This one was so impressive. She does not stop at the double

Arabian she does a rebound. It is fantastic tumbling from her. And

here, the double pike Arabian and she goes straight into the jumps.

That is where they are building up their difficulty. Each time they use

the jumps out of the somersaults they get rid of the landing

deductions. Finally, the double pike. Such height and power. She

knows exactly where that landing is. Shias so upright. -- she is so

upright. I think that will be enough to take her into second. She led the

US team. She is the experienced member and she has been great with

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

Great Britain in three. One gymnast ago. She has gone a

little bit closer to the floor so she can see what Vanessa Ferrari is

up to. She is two-time European champion.

The first big tumble. Using a double twist. A very clean landing.

Going straight back into the double straight. Another fantastic tumble

with a great landing. Here is the full twist. The chest

slightly down. She has gone back to one of her old floor routines.

The change leg ring with a full turn. Fantastic choreography.

The final big tumble uses the double pike and just a few paces back. Such

an experienced gymnast. She poured every ounce of her experience to

play in that. She performed it beautifully. It will go right to the

wire. I'm sure that is her last Olympics, and her last chance to try

and get her hands on an Olympic medal. From qualification she posted

a 6.2 and Amy had a 6.4 so that could be the difference. World

champion back in 2006, when she was just a youngster like Amy Tinkler

now. The coach knows those temps are vital. -- tenth as

it will be very close. Amy Tinkler from Great Britain is currently in

that third position. Aly Raisman in second and Simone Biles leads this

floor final. The waste is -- the weight is the worst. I do know who

is more nervous, Ferrari or Tinkler will stop which three names will be

up there? All eyes glued to the scoreboard. I am sure you are with

us at home as well. Have Great Britain got a medal on floor? We

will know in a matter of seconds. It has been a truly wonderful floor

final. Such combinations of styles. The score is in! It is 14.7 66. It

is not enough for a medal for Vanessa Ferrari. So Great Britain's

Amy Tinkler take the bronze in the floor final. Aly Raisman takes

silver but the champion is Simone Biles with a score of 15.966. What

they final. It went right down to the last performance. Simone Biles

gets her fourth gold medal of the Rio Olympics. Alexandra Raisman

takes the silver medal. But it is an historic bronze for Great Britain's

Amy Tinkler. Beth, you are the only individual Olympic medallist on the

winning's side, and now you are in company. I am, and it is amazing.

The British team have worked so hard to get here. All credit to lay me to

perform on this big stage and to her personal coaches, Nicola and Rachel

for all that work from when she was tiny to take that bronze medal today

-- all credit to Amy to perform an big stage. We knew she had the

chance of going clean. She could pick up a medal, but it is just

amazing. That has been so much success, so much celebration for

Great Britain in the medals, and now Amy Tinkler joins the party.

She joins the party and what a party. But a sensational for the

youngest member of Team GB. 16 years of age. She did not compete in the

European Championships last month because she was sitting Herrick

sounds! She turned 16 years of age on the day Great Britain won bronze

in the team competition last November -- she was sitting her

exams! Wonderful stuff. You also have to salute the wonderful power

and precision of Simone Biles. It is four on the floor. She joins Katie

Ledecky as the it girl is of the American team. Four golds and a

silver for both of those athletes from team USA. Every day it gets

better and better, Clare and I suspect you will have more medals? I

expect so. The final night in the velodrome promises to be really

special. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that all three gold

medals could be won by Team GB. Laura Trott is going for her fourth

gold. She has a significant lead in the omnium, two vents to come. Her

husband to be, Jason Kenny, he is hoping to write himself into the

history books because only one British cyclist has won six gold

medals, Sir Chris Hoy. They share rooms and they share the same

birthday. Could they share the same number of gold medals?

Sir Chris Hoy is the Olympic champion! Is Jason Kenny has

released Hoy. Chris Hoy brings the team home. Chris Hoy Great Britain

takes gold. What a fantastic performance. Gold-medal number four,

Chris Hoy. Cairney storming around the track. Here comes Hoy!

Gold-medal for Great Britain. Kenny is the Olympic sprint champion!

Chris Hoy is the Olympic champion for the keirin. His sixth

gold-medal! Jason Kenny hands it over and Great Britain are in the

lead. And the gold medal goes to Great Britain! Cairney wins the gold

medal. It is medal number five in the career of Jason Kenny!

CLARE BALDING: so the velodrome here in Olympic Park could be the scene

of a landmark moment in British Olympic history. Sir Steve Redgrave

has five, Bradley Wiggins has five, Jason Kenny has five and can he join

Sir Chris Hoy, the only British athlete with six gold medals? The

final night of track cycling at the Rio 2016 Games and this is our Jason

Kenny's timetable looks. The second round is effectively the semifinal.

That is not all, because Becky James and Katy Marchant, their semifinals

in the individual sprints start at 8pm. The finals from just after

10pm. Laura Trott, her final two events tonight with the flying lap

and the fabulous points race, the one you saw Mark Cavendish in a

crash, him causing the crash, actually, last night. That is at

9:05pm. So it is going to be fabulous. I really, really good

night and Sir Chris Hoy alongside me. March 23, it is not just you and

Jason, who else has a birthday that day? Sir Stephen Houghton great, Mo

-- Mo Farah, JoCo Zaki, -- Joe Cal Zaki, Steve Redgrave. And I think

Mark Spitz as well. If your birthday is March the 23rd, you have every

chance of becoming a fine Olympian. You have raised with him and against

him and seen him perform over the last four years. How good is Jason

Kenny? Without doubt, one of the greatest. The way he can deal with

pressure and rises to the occasion, he is quite a phenomenon and I think

today, we will see him stepping out of the shadows. He is always this

guy who never gets much attention, never gets the credit he deserves,

but tonight, there is a long way to go, it is very unpredictable, the

keirin, but I'm confident he is going to win it and I think it will

be a very special night for him and for Laura. Keirin is one of those

that has to, you have to get yourself into position, the

mechanical bike goes out and ramps to speed up and lets them go with

how many laps? Two and a half collapsed ago. It is essential to

keep the bunch together so then at ??DELETE there are no long sprints.

That is when the excitement starts. Are you enjoying watching it? I

really enjoy watching it, it is very tactical, lots of bumping, lots of

speed and it is a crowd favourite. How do you assess the performance of

the British cyclist here so far? Amazing, very simply it is amazing.

I expected them to do well, four or five gold medals, six Outerbridge,

but they have dominated in the same way they did in Beijing and in

London -- six at a push. There has been this waving of a white flag

from the other nations. From day one, when the men's team Sprint beat

the Olympic record, their were chins hitting the floor and it is amazing

to see. You could see it coming for the last eight months or so, the

team really got their act together but fantastic and really pleased to

see it. Cycling doing really well but so to gymnastics. Two gold

medals for Max Whitlock and a sensational bronze for Amy Tinkler.

Only 16 years old. Simone Biles with her fourth medal of the game.

MATT BAKER: This is now the sixth gymnastic medal here at the Rio

Olympics and it is just a remarkable story. GCSEs one month, Olympic

medal the next! But the final was dominated by Simone Biles. We

expected that, Beth. Just how high she was in those tumbles. Her skill

level is incredible, but the height she gets on those tumbles, you would

think she was going off a trampoline, rather than the floor

area, so all credit to her but for me, it is all about Amy Tinkler for

me. It is and we saw her warming up, she looked so relaxed and she has

relished her Olympic experience and wanted to come out and prove to the

world what she can do. I think she has enjoyed it every time she has

stepped out onto the competition floor, she has risen to the Games.

She said after qualification, she loved it and couldn't wait to get

back out and to go into the floor final and produce your best routine

and a score of 14.9 is huge, it is amazing. Let's just enjoy the moment

as the youngest member of Team GB is hugely successful. What a company

she is in alongside Simone Biles and Alexandra Raisman. She twisted and

tumble her way to that bronze medal -- tumbled.

And there has been a lot going on in her life recently, with studying and

repairing for the Olympic Games. To achieve all of that... Yes, she took

the decision to step away from the Europeans, concentrate on her GCSEs

and she was obviously training back home with her personal coaches up in

South Durham, but the main aim was the Olympic Games and to come out

here and take that bronze medal away, I think the Europeans will be

forgotten about and it is all about this moment. A picture of happiness

and total satisfaction. The silver medal goes to Alexandra Raisman. She

was the Olympic champion in London, all around silver-medallist here

just a few days ago and another silver medal for Alexandra Raisman

in the women's floor. One of the standout athletes of the

Rio Games has to be Simone Biles. This now her fourth Olympic gold.

Her fifth Olympic medal in a single Games. Just 19 years old. She

watched London and was inspired and put all of the hard work in over the

last four years. Number four is all yours. She joins just three other

gymnasts who have managed that feat of four Olympic golds at a single

Olympics. CHEERING

It seems there is an extra star on that flag from the USA. And there

you have confirmation of the women's floor final.

Amy Tinkler, from Great Britain, gets bronze.

Bolding macro and the amazing thing, if you are watching this, if you are

12 years old, you could be in Tokyo in four years' time, that is what

happened to Amy Tinkler. These are the scenes at the Maracana, this is

live on BBC Four, Brazil against Sweden in the women's football, it

is 0-0 after extra time, the match is about to go to penalties. It is

the semifinal and that would take the winners of the penalty shoot out

through to the gold medal match and the Brazilian home fans would be

over the moon if it happens to their team. You saw the scenes of

celebration when they took gold in the pole-vault last night. The

Brazilian women getting their talking to before penalties against

you. We are going to get more reaction from the gymnastics and we

will be back for the high bar final, Nile Wilson and that, but Nicola

Adams was one of the stars of the London Games. She won the first ever

gold medal for women's boxing there and she has become a Commonwealth

champion and crucially in May this year, won the world championship for

the first time. She began the defence of her Olympic flyweight

today. We are under way. Boxers from Great

Britain and Ukraine. The box are wearing red, Nicola Adams. The boxer

in blue, Tatyana Kob, of Ukraine, ranked 34 in the world. Nicola on

the outside, it is important she doesn't concede too much ground.

Rather untidy at close range. Nicola Adams finding her rhythm and timing

in this, her first appearance at Rio 2016. Just looking to counter that

speculative right hand fired out by Kob. You get the impression that

this is the only way that Kob can win the contest, by getting onto the

front foot and making it untidy and scrappy. Good lead right hand out of

that orthodox stance from Nicola Adams. Head movement increasing for

the boxer from lives. Good left hand from Kob, she wants this type of

territory, to make it a rough physical encounter. She has to use

her right uppercut, use the jab, measure the gap and throw the right

to the middle as the opponent comes forward. There it was to the body,

that wasn't too bad. Nicola Adams making a bright start behind long,

straight punches. That is a wonderful right hand by the boxer in

red. Better quality punches from Adams. On the end of straight shots

as Nicola Adams looks to increase the tempo. Kob is having a little

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

by Kob, she is out in determined style, to find the finishing blow.

Adams misses with an attempted right hand. The left that followed wasn't

too far away. Very strong conclusion to this contest by Tatyana Kob but

it is little Adams, who takes another left hand, who will have her

hand raised by virtue of the insurance she built up over the

first two rounds. The reigning Olympic champion goes through to the

medal stages with a unanimous points victory over Tatyana Kob of Ukraine.

Bolding macro Nicola Adams looking pretty sharp, and medal guaranteed.

-- CLAIRE BALDING:. There has been a delay for her

getting into action, were you pleased to see her today, Richie

Woodhall? Absolutely, and no one will be more pleased than her, she

has had to wait ten or 11 days to complete. That is because she won

the world title earlier in the year and became the number one seed, so

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

the Olympic Village, there are so many distractions but she has gone

through that before. To get your Olympic Games, to open it up, that

is what you want to do. I have to ask you about the very controversial

result and indeed comments afterwards from Michael Conlon, the

world champion who lost today and he had some pretty strong words about

the judging system. Yes, we are coming up to the 230th contest and I

have commentated on a lot of contests and nearly all of them in

this tournament and overall, it has been quite good, I have to say. I

haven't agreed with all of the judging but there haven't been many

bad decisions. Today, that was a bad one and yesterday, I thought also,

the Kazakhstan the final for the heavyweight decision, that was a bad

one. The reason it was bad for me was because Michael Conlon, for me,

boxed for perfect contest. In the first round, he kept his distance,

this is all about getting your opponent and not getting hit

yourself. He demonstrated it in the first round and the judging at the

end of the first round was pretty bad in that three judges went

against him. He had to change tactics entirely. The third round

was perfect but he didn't get it. He has had is some fairly strong things

to say about it. We are now going to head out into the Atlantic Ocean for

the latest on the sailing. Giles Scott's gold in the Finn finally

confirmed. No one was morally than him to finally do that race and get

that gold medal -- no one was more relieved. A huge British crowd at

the marina the glory. I am on my way to the women's for 70 course, Hannah

Mills and Katie Clark are doing Giles before their medal race, so

hopefully the next 30 minutes, we could have some great news. I love

hearing from Shirley, she is so knowledgeable and also coach ready

well with bobbing up and down in the water. These other gymnasts,

including Nile Wilson, coming out for the high bar final. Could we get

yet another medal from the sport. It has been the most improved in the

last four years. In the last eight years, it has been incredible. The

penalty shoot out between Brazil and Sweden for the right to get into the

gold medal women's football final is currently live on BBC Four, but

let's hadn't you back to the commentary team, still celebrating

and still in awe of the performance of Simone Biles on the floor, he is

Matt Baker. MATT BAKER: Thank you. We are set

for some more fireworks here. Just applauding the gymnasts as they are

all being introduced to the crowd. Barreto Junior from Brazil has

almost taken the roof off. Larduet will be the last but one. Our hearts

are beating to the question of whether ridden could get another

medal. Interestingly, the first three gymnasts up onto the high bar

are the three highest qualifiers, so we will get a really good idea. Nile

Wilson is the first of those three. I think Niall has got a great chance

here. What you are about to witness is just the definition of

spectacular. High releases, you have got to keep that swing going, that

is the idea, Beth, and building up to an enormous dismount. This is the

most exciting piece to watch on the mend's. The releases that they are

doing, there is a very small fraction of can it go wrong, can it

go right? Epke Zonderland won it in 2012, but this first guy up, flabby

and Hamburg general, he has got a huge routine. It will be an

interesting one. -- Fabian Hambuechen. He has taken time out,

he is the highest qualifier and this is all or nothing. Brace yourselves

everyone. It is time for the mend's high bar Olympic final. Fabian

Hambuechen will be the first ago. He has got an Olympic bronze, and

Olympic silver, can he bag Olympic gold?

He scored a 15.666 in the team final.

So, this is the slow motion replay. Double twist in the double straight

somersaults. The finish of a very secure routine. A little pace back

there. That will cost him a couple of tenths of a second but he has

thrown the gauntlet down. And that is a big opening score. 7.3

in difficulty. We wondered if he would go a little bit higher in the

difficulties score. He stayed at the 7.3. That is certainly a score to

beat. Epke Zonderland now, 30 years old,

Olympic champion in London, two times world champion. His routine is

full of risk. He is off. I think he is OK. He is

up of the matter. We said it was full of risk. The thing is, you have

to catch these releases at absolute full trek if you are going to go in

to the next element and you can see fingertips only. He did not have the

whole of the hand over. What a shame for him. This is the thing with high

bar. You go all out. You push the limit of what is physically possible

and we are talking fingertip stuff. And when you are connecting you need

to catch at full stretch. He was really looking for that so he can go

for the connection. He does it again and manages to hang on this time.

A nice squat with full turn to handstand and again with half. Now

winding up into the dismount. A double twist, double straight. A

fine example of what a gymnast is capable of. And to actually get back

on after taking a fall like that and still do the double somersaults, a

dismount like that, what a disappointment for him? Huge

disappointment. He wanted to defend his title. It will be almost

impossible now. He did land quite uncomfortably. Secure an all use

terms. -- on all these terms. A Sabre well rehearsed dismount but

one hole mark. And such a character in the world of gymnastics. You may

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

things in his career while studying hard for medicine. Fabian Hambuechen

will continue to lead this competition. The next gymnast to go

will be Nile Wilson from Great Britain. Epke Zonderland was the

third highest qualifier. Fabian Hambuechen put in a big score

than he did in qualifying. Danell Leyva is entering the arena now,

having warmed up separately. He was part of the parallel bars medal

ceremony. Eight gymnast in the final so if you are one of the first two,

you stay in the arena, but not otherwise.

Time now to focus in on Nile Wilson. He is the current European high bar

champion and Commonwealth champion. What can he achieve here?

Nile also has to go for broke. He has to do huge releases to the

maximum. He catches almost perfectly.

A squat with half term. Here is the big Tkachev. And another release and

catch. Double twisting, double straight.

Goodlad! What a routine! That is going to challenge. He was building

the difficulty all the way through and that was a very strong bid for

an Olympic medal. It was indeed and what a cool customer. He is

aggressive and determined, but he has never been up in an Olympic

final before. They only happen once every four years, and by no that is

what sounds obvious, but it ramps up the pressure. You know in four

years' time you will be older. Who knows what will happen. A beautiful

fall through the air. He is a stylish gymnast. Really

well-trained. One of the next generation of British gymnasts

coming along. I think he loves these competitions. He takes gymnastics to

the next level under an enormous amount of pressure. That is what

sets the big guys apart. That is something which cannot be coached

in, down, it is something you have the heart for like we saw with Amy

Tinkler. He gives nothing away on the dismount.

Five gymnasts left to go in this high bar final, the next of which is

Samuel Mikulak. You always know there will be fireworks when the

American team are in town. Is certainly looks impressive but as

far as the difficulty is concerned, the American slightly down? Yes. It

will be interesting to see how he can do in the final and if he can

get into the medals. He is the fourth gymnast in this high bar

final. Lots and lots of energy in this routine. The first full twist

in the somersault over. There is the second.

A full turn. A big action winding up. A big dismount. A little hop on

the landing. That looked a big routine to me. You say a little hop

on landing but those little hops are the things which can decide medals?

I like the technique where he created the twist. I suppose it

leads used ill twisting when you read catch, Dan? I think that is a

really good routine. I am not sure on the start value, but it did look

quite big. A really clean half term. He had a 6.4 difficulty in

qualification. He could have upped it a little bit. It is going to be

very tight, this scoring. The score is in. Not enough to go ahead of

Great Britain's Nile Wilson. Wilson still in two. Fabian Hambuechen

leads this meant's high bar final. Four to go.

Oleg Verniaiev. He was victorious on parallel bars.

That was an unusual start. I think he wanted to get his release and

catch done nice and early and out of the way in the routine.

The squat connected with another big release and catch move.

He was slightly off-line in the handstand but managed to save it. An

extra swing will be quite costly to his Finnish score.

Hands down. Good job he had his parallel bars gold. He will settle

for that medal. It was not to be an high bar. Niall Hamlisch and will

continue to lead. Nile Wilson will continue in second position --

Fabian Hambuechen will continue to lead. Sam Mikulak will continue in

third. I liked the releases. In the all-around he took a bit of a pace

on landing, but that time, he just let go of the bar too early. He did.

He has become Olympic champion on the parallel bars. I think he has

maybe relaxed slightly too much. He is really quite tired.

Hambuchen to be fair, he came for Olympic gold on the parallel bars.

And a good fight on the all-around and he said he was happy to come

second to the legend that is Uchimura. And you speak to him

around the gym, and you say he is a very nice man. He takes effort to

speak to everyone in the gym, one of the best in the world, and he is a

really good guy. You can see the real camaraderie amongst all of the

gymnasts on the floor. Everyone knows how hard you work to get at

this level. And their is a respect for the high bars, you are putting

yourself on the line -- there is. Three gymnasts left to go, can macro

to hold on and get that high bar gold? Will Nile Wilson make history

as the first Great Britain ever to make a medal on the high bar? -- can

Hambuechen hold on and get that high bar gold? And can Barreto Junior put

on the display that he once do in front of his home crowd and bring

the house down here in the arena -- that he wants to? No doubt, the

crowd will help him and be as silent as they can be. Yes, very

knowledgeable crowd. Super one arm work. See how the swing changes,

ready for the big return. There is the squat element with half turn.

And again with the half turn. Another squat fall into a releasing

catch. He is packing of this routine with a lot of difficulty. There is

the Healy turn. The inverted grip. Now, here he goes. Winding up, a big

kick. Stuck this man and a roar from the crowd and himself. What a show

he put on! Not quite the same level of difficulty on the dismount. You

think he may be up slightly on his difficulty? Yes, he did a six point

out in qualifying and I am not too sure but he may have gone a little

bit higher -- he did a 6.8. I am going to be pernickety and say the

execution wasn't up to scratch as far as Nile Wilson and Hambuechen

were concerned. And Mikulak. He has given the judges opportunity to take

deductions. A little bit loose on the legs on some of the moves, but

fabulous, exciting work and it is great to have a Brazilian in the

final. Actually, the arena has been alive at every gymnastics event.

There are now just two gymnasts left ago in these gymnastics finals. It

really has the highest level of competition that we have ever

witnessed -- left to go. It really has been a fantastic Olympic Games

and, do you know, from different pockets of the world and we are

going to see that again in a minute because we are going to see a

gymnast from Cuba. At one time, it was a sport dominated by certain

nations but it is really not now, it is a global affair. He is forth at

the moment. 15.208 for Barreto Junior.

So onto the Cuban gymnast Christine was just talking about, Manrique

Larduet. At the World Championships, he really took us by surprise. Got

into the high bar final there and he got a bronze medal. The highest

score so far in Rio, 15 .166. He is a really explosive, exciting

gymnast. Power personified. There is the squat with half turn,

into another big one and a connection bonus, added to the

difficulty score. Squat fall turn into a releasing catch. Nice one arm

element. And here is the big dismount coming up.

A double straight with triple twist. Well, keep your eye on the

scoreboard! 15.4 for bronze. 15.466 fork silver. He was limping a little

when he went with his coach to be called upon to the high bar. He

pulled out of the all-around with an injury and it really showed

determination to do that dismount, more than we have seen from anyone

today. Very clean. Huge power, you can see just a little bit of a bent

arm catch, but this is going to be very tight. There is the full term.

-- fall turn. That was another catch that was quite close. But when you

finish with a triple twisting straight, you ramp up the

difficulty. One, two, three, and out. You could see the grimace,

definite problems with that left ankle or foot.

Just a reminder, 15.4 for bronze, 15.466, silver. 15.766 gold at the

moment. Came into these championships as the

silver-medallist at the last World Championships all-around. Nile

Wilson can hardly look. He knows that if it is below his score, he is

guaranteed at least a bronze. I don't think any of us here are

confident enough to call anything on his routine. No, we have got to

wait. The score is just about to be posted. It is a 15.033, which means

Great Britain's Nile Wilson is guaranteed at least a bronze. He has

made history. It has never been done before at the Olympics on high bar.

Hambuechen is guaranteed at least a silver. Congratulations, Nile.

Really good. Now, the gymnast, in this high bar final, Danell Leyva,

already received a silver on the parallel bars today. The highest

score he has posted in Rio so far is a 15.333. He was the fourth highest

qualifier. And one of the most exciting gymnasts you will watch on

the high bar. Starts with a full turn, into the Mochalov. Grinding up

for his big release catch moves. And again. Bent arms on the long swing

out of it, so big deductions. The one one half twist.

Squat half, connected again with the term.

Here is the dismount. He needs to land this on his feet. Hop back.

Well, he got through without a ball, but there were some big deductions

in there, Dan. His start value is huge, a 7-.3 start value which was

posted in qualifications, but there were some deductions. We already

know Nile is guaranteed a medal, it is just whether it is silver or

bronze. I don't think any of those gymnasts than their can bear to

look, it is so tight. Such flair on that first element, that first over

the bar, and the straight somersault over, he flares his arms out, making

it look so easy. Big releases. And the very last element, what a final.

Well, team USA are guaranteed a bronze because his team-mate Mikulak

is currently in that bronze medal position with a score of 15.4, but

which American will take bronze? I am saying that, like he won't get

ahead of Nile Wilson, but we will have to wait and see. Nile, 15.466.

It will not be enough to go ahead of Hambuechen but he may just pip Nile.

The score is coming in. It is in. It is a score of 15.5, so he does go

into silver medal position. Nile Wilson from Great Britain will take

the bronze medal, the Olympic champion is Fabian Hambuechen. He

has had a bronze at the Olympics, is silver and now he is Olympic

champion. Danell Leyva gets his second silver of the day but Nile

Wilson makes history for Great Britain as the first ever gymnast to

medal at the Olympics on high bar. What an Olympics Great Britain have

had. It... I can't believe I am seeing this. Medal, the medal, the

medal. Seven medals now across gymnastics and we never thought we

would get anywhere near that. The target was 3-5 medals and seven

medals, that shows how strong our team is across the board. Seven

medals for them Britain and Nile Wilson is one of them -- for Great

Britain. Spalding 15.5. From Team GB at the

gymnastics, we will be back for more reaction later. In the women's

football, Brazil missed the second and fourth of their penalties, which

meant this chance to win it. Read on. Sweden are through to the gold

medal match, they will play either Canada or Germany -- win it for

Sweden. Real disappointment for the fans in Brazil but look at Sweden

celebrate a great result for them. We have seen bronze medals for Amy

Tinkler and Nile Wilson today in gymnastics. Will we see more for the

Team GB's cyclists? We will have the women's Sprint final coming up, the

omnium for Laura Trott, the keirin for Jason Kenny and Laura Trott will

finish off with the points race. It is going to be a golden night ahead,

we hope. And Olympic silver medal for Becky

James in the women's keirin. Through in straight rides to the semifinal

of the women's Sprint. Katy Marchant a joint Becky James in the last

four. -- joins Becky James. Jason Kenny is the Olympic sprint

champion, it is gold now back at the rate medal number five. A scorching

ride in the men's keirin -- gold medal number five. Laura Trott, the

first ever British woman to win three Olympic gold medals. She is

masterful, nobody can touch her. Spalding 15.5 it really is exciting.

This is how the timings work out. CLAIRE BALDING: final the race in

the women's omnium, Laura Trott will be raising over 25 kilometres and

picking up points in sprints along the way, before we have the finale

of the women's Sprint and the men's keirin. Sir Chris Hoy is alongside

me and we are going to start by shifting back in time a few moments

and bring you up-to-date with the semifinals of the women's Sprint.

Becky James was in the first of these and there are different

tactics you can use, you can go home early or pants and weight and she

decided to go for early against the Dutch rider Elis Ligtlee.

She rode to her strengths here. We will join commentary from Chris

Boardman and Simon Brotherton. Two laps to go. The speed is rising

now. Becky James increases the speed to counter. She is quick to respond

to the increase in pace of the Dutch as the bell goes. She is closing

into the slipstream. It is going to be close. She takes the first race.

Nip and tuck all the way. Becky James leading from the front and

making sure her front wheel stays in front of Elis Ligtlee as they go

over the line and she is now one win away from going for gold in the best

of three semifinal. A pretty convincing win therefore

Becky James who would be the favourite? I think she would be.

But Kristina Vogel has the experience. The next race featured

Katie Marchand, Becky's team-mate against Kristina Vogel of Germany.

Katie Marchand in her first Olympic Games. A draw here against Kristina

Vogel. She has looked better and better as the competition has gone

on, Vogel. She will try and keep Marchand guessing all the way

through. This particular semifinal is moving

at a fair rolled lick here. She has got to switch tactics now. Kristina

Vogel leading out. Katy Marchant with work to do in this first

semifinal. She has to put her nose in front of the finishing straight

and she has not quite managed to do it. Kristina Vogel from Germany

takes the early lead in this semi. So Katy Marchant is going to have to

win the second of those races to take it to a decider. What would you

say now if you had the chance? She has greater top speed but Kristina

Vogel is so smart and to use all the tactical mouth there, it was

incredible. She wants to get to the front, control her and if you saw

she went out of the sprinter's lane, Vogel did, which I thought might

have incurred a penalty, but because Katie was not next to her about

time, it did not impede her progress. Because she wasn't on her

wheel, it did not affect the result. All credit to Vogel, that was a

pretty smart ride. So Vogel goes 1-0 up, Becky James is 1-0 up.

Meanwhile, in the gymnastics, Amy Tinkler, just 16 years old, has been

collecting a bronze medal after the floor competition. A stunning result

for her. She is the youngest member of the British team. She showed such

composure. Simone Biles took the gold medal. Her fourth of the Games.

But for Amy Tinkler this is a moment she will never forget. There is more

to come. What can she do in four years' time? This is what she said

afterwards. Six weeks ago you were sitting your

GCSEs and now we have a bronze medal. What is going through your

head? I honestly don't have a clue. It is so one real. I am in total

shock. When you did that routine, did you think that could be a medal

or did you think it would be a fourth or fifth place? My coach said

you have nothing to lose, go out there and enjoy it and that is what

I did. I knew I had done the best routine I could. You are only the

second woman ever to win an Olympic medal for Great Britain lost you are

up there with the likes of Beth Tweddle and you are not even 17 yet.

You seem so at home on the biggest stage of all. Love competing in

front of big crowds as well. It is just incredible. I am so shocked! I

can see you are shocked, you can hardly speak! Have you got your

friends and family here to watch you? Yes, I have got my coaches and

my family. I want to thank everyone for their support in the last few

years. It has been amazing. And you could be back in Tokyo winning

another bronze or even better? Yes, I definitely want to go to Tokyo.

Wendy get your GCSE results? I get them the day I arrived home from Rio

so I have got that to look forward to now as well! Well done. That is

amazing, she will go home and wait for her GCSE results! Great stuff

from the gymnastics team. Now, the leading light in British cycling at

the moment is Laura Trott and tonight, she could win her fourth

Olympic gold medal. With success does come expectation.

I never believed I would go to 2012. I was all of a sudden a double

Olympic champion. Laura Trott, her second gold medal. People were now

expecting me to win. Before London, I didn't have that. It was hard. It

is pressure for myself. You expect yourself to win. When I walk into

that velodrome, I realise this is happening. I just want to get on the

start line and do that race. When I get on my bike, the minute I am sat

there with my helmet on, that is it, I am ready.

In London, she won the team pursuit and the omnium. In Rio so far she is

leading the omnium. This is her she has built up her advantage over the

others. Away we go. Very cool, calm and

collected on the opening stages. Excellent competition from Laura

Trott. First over the line in that sprint. Second in position in the

omnium. She is riding beautifully here so far. She is eating up the

ground. What time will she pose? A sensational one! Individual pursuit

in from the very top drawer. We are under way in the elimination

race. This is her favourite discipline. The sprint is on down

the back straight. Once more, Laura Trott shows she is masterful! Away

they go. The two riders in the gold and silver medal positions. Laura

Trott really needs to dig in. The second fastest time for Laura

chopped. Laura Trott is leading this omnium. And these are the standings

after four of the six races. Laura Trott is the most extraordinary

athlete and even more so, when you consider she was born prematurely

with a collapsed lung and spend the first 6.5 weeks of her life on a

ventilator. They do say premature babies are fighters. She was born at

the same stage as my son, Callum, so hopefully that bodes well for him.

She is a minimum. She is in control of this omnium event. She has the

flying lap to come. They go in reverse order. She will be lost to

go. She will know what she has to beat. How fast is she? She is not a

pure sprinter but there will be one or two athletes in the field here.

Perhaps Annie-macro from Australia, who specialises in the faster stuff,

but she will not lose massive ground here -- Annette Edmondson. 20 points

from her and she will be in a great position going into the points race.

They have 3.5 laps but they go for it over the last 250 metres. The

last lap has to be really quick. The New Zealander Lauren Ellis is

currently on the track. Here is Simon. Hello, everyone. She

is eighth quickest so far. Performing par at the moment the

rider from New Zealand. The next rider will be lorry berth on from

France. She has been performing well here.

This will be an important event for her. This is her favourite event.

She is one that away from her flying lap. She will wind it up before

hitting the line at top speed. It is 250 metres around the back line.

They use the height. Curve right the way down along the straight, trigger

the time on the finishing line. It is a close run thing on the time

checks, and now it looks like she is in pole position. Laurie Berthon

goes to the top of the leaderboard of the 13 riders from 18 who have

been out there in this thing of end of six. That was nearly half a

kilometre and our faster in that race. She was delighted and so she

should be. Kirsten Wild is a good road sprinter. We saw her in

Yorkshire earlier this year. She is from the Netherlands. Fifth overall

going into this round. This final wind up coming a little bit late,

perhaps. You have to be at maximum lead to hit the line. A good all

round rider. She will come into the finishing straight.

She is second fastest at the moment. I think she will be pleased with

that. Edmondson running up -- coming up. She loves this event. She

certainly does. Here is Annette Edmondson from Adelaide. She got the

bronze four years ago in London. Her brother Alex was in the team pursuit

final against Great Britain. What an epic final that was with Britain

coming in on top. This is the point you have to wind

it up and get everything out. She has got better and better as the

competition has worn on. Can she get her nose in front in this one and go

for back-to-back event victories? Can she posed the fastest time? Yes,

she can! It took are a better time to get

that big gear going, but she will be absolutely delighted with that.

Expect her to maybe be top five in this event but she is pushing to be

even better still. Very, very consistent in the women's omnium. I

gold, silver and two medals in this single event and also in the team

pursuit. Next up, Sarah Hammer from the United States, on the track

already. Then it is Joe Lee and endorse -- Joe Lee indoors and then

it will be Laura Trott. . Her timed effort start now. Scorching around

the bottom of the track. Not the most stylish of cyclists, but get

every ounce of effort out of her body, time and time again. Fourth

quickest. Not too bad, on par with form but she needed to do something

special, she has been losing ground to Laura Trott and I think she is

going to lose a bit more. Sarah Hammer the fourth quickest so far.

Annette Edmondson still leading the way, jolly -- Jolien d'Hoore now,

very much in the hunt for the silver medal position. Probably should get

pipped by Hammer in this according to the form book but we will have to

wait and see. Jolien d'Hoore halfway down the back straight, are very

good ride on the road as well in the women's peloton. -- a very good

rider. Solid wind-up, leaving it a little bit late. Also, for quite a

big gear strategy but she has wound it up now. Riding it extremely

quickly, it was a good first time check and she is going to post a

good time, Jolien d'Hoore. It won't be the fastest, faded a little in

the closing metres. So Jolien d'Hoore, sixth fastest, she will

lose a little bit of ground potentially to some of her rivals

now. But one rider to go, Laura Trott of Great Britain, the leader

in the gold medal position. Plenty of British spectators inside the

velodrome here in Rio. Enormous chainring that she has on this bike,

she has had it throughout this competition, the British going for a

big gear strategy. And she has put it to good use so far, hasn't she?

Very compact, those handlebars probably less than 30 centimetres

wide to get as tucked up possible. -- as possible. Seconds away from

her flying lap. The last rider to go out, here we go, Laura Trott on her

flying lap in the penultimate event in the women's omnium. Halfway down

the back straight and she is going really quickly here. This is a

stupendous ride from Laura Trott. Can she hold the speed, can she

carry it over the line? Yes! Stunning from Laura Trott. It

doesn't look like there isn't anything she can't do, she looks to

be on top in virtually every discipline and she is in such good

form, it is hard to know how to canter that -- counter that. It

seems that everything everyone can do, she can do a little bit better.

Pushing her lead out a little further, 196 points after this ride.

Jolien d'Hoore at 172, tied with Sarah Hammer. So it is still

possible to beat Laura Trott but she has given herself a real bother

going into the last event. Lots of points on offer in the final event,

we saw that with Mark Cavendish yesterday, things can change but

Laura Trott could not realistically be in a better position than the one

she finds herself in now. She leads the way with just one event to go.

Absolutely the form of her life. We saw it in the team pursuit, where

she did two lap turns and in every discipline she has ridden so far.

Just one more to go before we see whether she will take that gold

medal. I have never seen Laura Trott riding better than she has done this

week here in Rio. CLAIRE BALDING: phenomenal from

Laura Trott, not a natural speed cyclist but yet she is faster than

everyone else. Laura's team-mate has joined us. Chris Lloyd was saying he

expected her to go well but was everybody surprised at how well? I

expected her to do that. I thought she would be the other girls based

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

close to that in training so judging by her form this week, I knew it

would be good. She is a very fast rider. She normally tends to prefer

the 500 to the flying lap, but she has been working hard and it has

paid off. You are sharing an apartment with her. Becky James and

Katy Marchant in the same apartment? Yes, it is a bit of a beauty salon,

nail machines, hairstyling, everything, keeping people

distracted between racing. But you are also, all of you, absolutely

committed to your racing. You see Laura here finishing off her flying

lap. She put so much effort in but makes it look easy, I know it is a

contradiction. That is the key thing, getting all the effort that

but looking smooth and if you see Sarah Hammer, she is relatively

speaking ragged on the bike, she is effective but uses a lot of energy

moving her body around. Laura is very aerodynamic and smooth, the

power is in the pedals. I wonder what Jason Kenny was doing while

that race was on, here is Gill. He was looking at the big screen, in

the centre of the track, warming up for the second round of the keirin.

Six gold medal in his sights, he is looking very calm and collected and

when he saw the time she posted, a huge smile on his face. Can you

imagine what it is like for them today? A huge smile when Laura got

that fantastic time but now he has to switch and focus on his event.

They could become the most successful Olympic couple in

history. Meanwhile, the action continues. This is the second of the

sprint semifinals. Becky James won the first and if she wins this, it

won't even go to a decider. Here is Simon.

The camera on the back of the Dutch rider's bike, giving us a rider's

view or a rear seat view, anyway. Looking back towards Becky James. It

is the last chance for Ligtlee if she wants to keep her chances of a

gold medal alive. Becky James, one win away from reaching the Olympic

final and that guarantee of at least a silver medal. James happy to stay

in the second position at the moment, not getting drawn into a

battle for the lead. She doesn't want this to be a long drag race

with somebody like literally. She has got to really wind it up to a

good peak speed, James is the sharper of the two, good

acceleration. Needs to find a way to use that there, Ligtlee going to the

top of the track, trying to tempt James to go underneath. She has done

so well to come back to this level in the space of 12 months, Becky

James, after illness and a career threatening knee injury. James

keeping it high, Ligtlee countering by increasing the speed but James

not being drawn in. She is going about four kilometres Brouwer faster

but going the long way around. They take the bell. Becky James looks to

go around the outside and pass Elis Ligtlee and she has got herself into

the pole position. She could be riding her way into the Olympic

final. Ligtlee trailing in her wake, no match at all as Becky James races

through in straight rides and looking unstoppable, to the Olympic

final. She is guaranteed silver but she is going for gold. And at time

of 10.9 gives you an idea of how quick that was. -- that time.

Ligtlee, we have in the form she has had, already got a gold medal and

Becky James just rode away from her there. To beat a rider as good as

Elis Ligtlee as comprehensively as bad, I think it will make even

Kristina Vogel take notice. It will be a tough match but we do not know

who it is going to be just yet. Katy Marchant has still got an

opportunity to get herself into that final but she has the toughest

competition in Kristina Vogel. But James is through, Ligtlee the first

to congratulate her. There was nothing she could do against that

today. So Ligtlee will race for the bronze medal and the tables were

turned their, Becky James finished second to Ligtlee in that keirin

final, beating her in straight rides. So for the second time, in

these best of three races, Becky James through in straight rides,

which saves your legs, not having to go to a third one. If you count your

way back through the competition, she has done the minimum she needed

to do. The qualifying ride she posted was remarkable and it has

paid dividends, giving her a good seed all the way through. It is

great to see her at the top of her game, she was the champion in 2013,

she won the sprint and the keirin in Minsk but has had all sorts of

problems since then. They're coming back to form at just the right time.

Let's turn our attention to Katy Marchant, from Yorkshire, who has

performed so well here in her first Olympic Games. This is her last

chance to stay in contention for the gold-medal herself, with Becky James

now waiting in the final. She is trailing 1-0 and needs to beat

Kristina Vogel here, but Kristina Vogel, an Olympic gold-medallist

four years ago in the team Sprint, seven times a world track champion.

That is the task that is facing Katy Marchant now. We should remember

that Katy Marchant, just 23 years of age, first Olympic Games. The way

she has performed here, it has already been a success for her. Just

to get to this position, riding with the best in the world and matching

them, going toe to toe, it has been a delight to watch and let's see how

much further she can go. And this is a rider who only made her World Cup

debut for Great Britain last year, so it has been a steep learning

curve for her, the former heptathlete. I suppose when a lot of

your training sessions are against the likes of Bezy ??DELETE Becky

James, you measure yourself against the very best -- Becky James. But

Vogel is coming good in this competition, knows all the tricks of

the trade. Maybe she is benefiting in the same way that I think Jason

Kenny better fitted early in his career with the presence of Sir

Chris Hoy alongside him every day in training -- benefited early in his

career. The pair of their meeting in the sprint final in Beijing. That is

why they call the Manchester velodrome the "Medal factory"

because they train against each other day in, day out, measuring

themselves against gold-medallists in pretty much every event. It keeps

the standard side. Vogel, I think, will be happy to leave this one. She

will try and control Marchand, try and draw her rain and not let her

drag it into an outer now drag race. Katy Marchant the qualifier how fast

she can go if she is allowed to ride her own race. It will be tough. She

does have the speed to do it in the race pans out in the way for her.

James' tactics could be mirrored, the way she didn't allow herself to

be dictated to and went for the overtake in the bend, which is

unusual. Let's see if she will try and mirror that move. Katy Marchant

into the final lap against Kristina Vogel. She has to get her nose in

front to stay in with a chance. Slowly closing the gap. Getting

closer to the German's back wheel. Can she draw level, can she get

ahead? Not quite this time. Beaten in straight rides by Kristina Vogel

but no disgrace in that, because Vogel is such a good track rider,

multiple world champion but Katy Marchant will go for bronze against

Ligtlee of the Netherlands. It is Vogel against James for gold but

Katy Marchant has performed far, far better than anyone could have hoped

that these Olympic Games. I think it will be mixed emotions on this one,

I think she can be proud of herself and, of course, she still has a

medal to fight for and she has a very good chance of taking home a

bronze here. It was always going to be tough to get the better of

Kristina Vogel. And so it proved. Beaten in straight rides, so Great

Britain going for gold and bronze. British interest does remain in the

women's sprint competition, with Katy Marchant going for bronze and

Becky James there, her thoughts turning to that final and the fact

that she will be faced facing Kristina Vogel.

CLAIRE BALDING: and Becky James will be fully prepared. Another word on

Katy Marchant, it is extraordinary that four years ago, she was

competing as an athlete in the world Junior athletics championship. Tony

Minichiello said he thought she was good on the bike and here she is,

the chance of a bronze medal at the Olympics.

Her progress over the last few years has been really interesting to

watch. There are so many tactics involved. She has been playing catch

up in that sense. You have seen her grow as a competitor over the last

two years. To make it into the bronze medal final I think is

phenomenal. We are used to seeing athletes going to other sports in

the winter sports from others like skeleton. With the time trial, it is

very controlled and measurable. But to come to an event like the sprint,

it is so impressive. I think a lot of it is a credit to the coaches as

well, to be able to fast track the process and accelerate the process,

you have to have the right approach and Katy clearly has that.

Meanwhile, Becky James will go through to the gold medal race. This

is the man we will focus on now, Jason Kenny. He will be in the key

ring next. If he comes into the top three he will be into the gold medal

race -- the Kieron. It is a tough event to explain to a

cyclist but in truth it is hard to explain for those involved. It is

essentially a mass start for seven riders. Competitors draw lots. They

are led by a small motorbike for the first laps. The riders must stay

together and are not allowed to pass the motorbike until it pulls off.

Three .5 laps that the pointed end is very expensive. The tough

position is at the back. Few can get around multiple riders. Second we'll

is the most favoured but there is the constant danger of getting

botched in. There is the trickiest of all manoeuvres, passing on the

inside. A big betting sport in Japan, it used to be a high-speed

affair with multiple crashes but in recent years it has been somewhat

sanitised. The speed has been brought in line and no rider to

rider contact is allowed. We might be mystified by the format but it is

still not an event for the faint-hearted. The last few seconds

of the keirin can be spectacular. Now you know how it works, let's see

if Jason Kenny could be in the first semifinal.

They are almost ready to go. There is the little motorbike. The gun

will fire and then the eight laps will begin. Jason Kenny is the

second rider from the right-hand side and away they go. There is a

little bit of barging as they fight for position behind the bike. I will

just run through who is in this field. There is the rider from

Malaysia. Jason Kenny has the white helmet. It

is 50 K per hour. This is quite a large group here of six. It is a

long way to have to come around. Kenny has ridden from the front. He

has the leg power to do it. Awang is in first position at the

moment. They will start to leave some space at the moment. Awang is a

real sporting hero in Malaysia. If he gets to the front, expect a

little wheelie as he crosses the line. Now the race is on. Jason

Kenny is in fifth place at the moment. Glaetzer of Australia. There

goes Jason Kenny. Look at the speed there. Neck and neck to go with one

lap to go. Jason Kenny goes in front.

Jason Kenny coasts home. In second place was Buchli. Awang third. They

could not stay with Jason Kenny. That was a searing ride from him. He

rode away from the field. Awang's late surge for the line paid

dividends. He is a popular rider. A lot of people will be delighted he

will get a ride in the final. The reigning Olympic champion in keirin

is Chris Hoy. He has just been saying amazing, amazing, amazing.

When he opened up the taps, he just smoked them. He cruises around the

outside. He opens up a gap. It is like he is on a different level to

the rest of the riders. He will not be going flat out right now. Look at

that, look at the gap he has opened up already. Really special. You

don't see keirin races won in that style very often? He is playing to

his strengths. As long as he does not get caught up in the battling or

flicking and elbowing, he should be great in the final. There is very

good news in the sailing. We are going live to Shirley Robertson out

in the Atlantic. What have you got? They are too busy celebrating.

Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark, 2016 gold medallists. I absolutely lost

for words. I can't believe it! We saw you cross the line and there was

a bit of arithmetic. You did not know. You went to your coach and

then new. Tell us that moment when you realised you have got it. A

shock. Complete and up to shock. I didn't know what to say or do. It

was the most bizarre feeling ever. I haven't stopped smiling. I am

grinning like an idiot. I did not have her down as some on crying. I

remember four years ago when you lost that medal race to the Kiwis.

You were so cross with yourselves. How does it feel to have righted

that wrong? Completely surreal. We sailed out of our skins. It has been

a marathon event. I still cannot believe it. And we have one race

left. You have your lap of an. It is called doing a Joel is where you

have sown it up beforehand -- a lap of honour. We said we wanted to be

20 points clear going into the medal race and we are, I cannot believe

it! The two of you, I may you are the best of friends, you are so

close. This has been five years in the making, to share this moment

before you head ashore together, what has it been like? It has been

amazing. It has been hard, I had surgery and she has been an amazing

best friend and team-mate! Hannah and Saskia, 2016 gold medallists,

congratulations! Just fabulous. Hannah Mills and

Saskia Clark have won the women's 470. Who will be joining Jason Kenny

and co-in the final of the keirin. Here is Simon.

We are almost ready to go. As you would expect, a really high quality

field. Sam Webster, the Commonwealth sprint champion. The race is

underway. There are two Polish riders here which can't complicate

matters. They can use their numbers to do a lead out. It complicate

matters in the commentary box as well when they dressed the same and

have the same helmets. One rider has yellow on his bike.

Zielinski has the yellow on his bike. Purvis behind the motorbike.

Joachim Eilers is the world champion. The other way to have two

team-mates is you would let Purvis go and let your team-mates have a

gap. Lots of opportunities if they have discussed it but everyone has

got their own plans. They may not coincide. They will start to get a

bit twitchy. The riders casting the odd anxious glance. They nearly

overlap the motorbike there. Joachim Eilers heads towards the front and

looks to power away from the rest of the field. The man chasing him is

Zielinski of Poland and then in third is Fabian Puerta from

Colombia. The two-time champion from France, has got a lot to do. Joachim

Eilers takes it. He was the class of the field in the semifinal.

Zielinski chased them all the way to the line. He knew this was not about

winning, it was about top three. It is Joachim Eilers, Zielinski and

Fabian Puerta who qualified in top three. Pervis in fifth place.

Webster in six. I would like to see that from a different angle. They

looked like Pervis was cut up a little bit. We will wait and see. At

the moment, the result stands. One thing is for sure, Joachim Eilers is

the man who crossed the line in first place. There was no doubt

about that and his ride. He won two titles earlier this year in London.

Zielinski of Poland goes through and also Fabian Puerta waving the flag

for Colombia. There is some discussion going in in the centre

with the chief of the commissar panel speaking to the chief judge.

There is a conversation going on at least.

So the final four sevenths until Dash -- 47-12 features these riders

unless there is a late judges' disses and but one thing is that

sure, Jason Kenny looked mightily impressive and is going for gold

later on. CLAIRE BALDING: quick and a word

from Sir Chris Hoy, who will be his biggest danger? Eilers, from

Germany. Jason gets in and he is going from the front, Eilers will be

a danger. You don't want to be jinxing it, but even if he is boxed

in, he has time to step out, and absolutely Florette. He is looking

in great shape. There is no doubt that if he can win his sixth gold

medal and equal Chris Lloyd, Jason Kenny will become the lead headline

on an already fantastic day. -- Kris Sir Chris Hoy. Here at the other

headlines. Confirmation that Giles Scott has secured gold in sailing's

Finn class to give Great Britain their fifth successive Olympic

title. He follows in the footsteps of Sir Ben Ainslie.

And there will be more British sailing success as Hannah Mills and

Saskia Clark have upgraded their women's 470 silver from London to

gold in Rio. They can enjoy their final race.

The American gymnast Simone Biles produced a stunning performance on

the floor to earn her fourth gold medal of the Games, so much class

and showmanship. And finishing behind her was ridden's Amy Tinkler,

a fantastic bronze for the 16-year-old -- Britain's. GB's

youngest athlete has been combining training with doing her GCSEs.

And the British gymnastics success continued with another bronze thanks

to a terrific performance on the horizontal bar from 20-year-old Nile

Wilson. High times on the high bar. So this is the timetable for the

evening ahead on BBC One. We will be staying here for the omnium final

race, that is Laura Trott going for gold over 25 kilometres. The women's

sprint final is Becky James against Kristina Vogel of Germany, race one

of that at 9:44pm. Then the men's keirin final, that is Laura Trott's

other half of Jason Kenny. And then the women's sprint final race, if

needed, at 10:26pm. So we have a fabulous evening of cycling ahead.

I'm going to miss this when it stops. Let us talk about Laura

Trott, here she comes with the points race and the combination of

skills required to win the omnium and how good she is. Joanna Rowsell

has gone to cheer her on. You have to do something very special here,

20 points for gaining a lap, 5-point maximum on each individual sprint,

so they have to do a huge amount of work to close the gap. She doesn't

have to go out and chase the points, she can follow the riders but

knowing Laura, she won't not write negatively, she will try and win --

she won't write negatively. She started early at about eight years

old and out of 12, she met Bradley Wiggins and he hung his Olympic gold

medal around her neck and that is the moment she decided she wanted to

be an Olympic cyclist. She made her breakthrough when she was 18 at the

World Championships in Holland at 2011 and -- in 2011 and here she is

as not only the dominant cyclist but Chris Boardman describes as the best

handler of a bike he has ever seen. That is why she is so good at the

elimination race but she is incredibly efficient, narrow

shoulders and small arms. Because she is so small, she is very, very

efficient. We saw yesterday how dramatic this points race can be.

Let's just explain to you how it works, because I can't pretend that

it's straightforward and certain people watching were commenting, Sue

Perkins, I know, said it proves you don't have to understand anything to

be over investing emotionally, when she was watching Cavendish. JK

Rowling, obviously the author of Harry Potter books, she sent a

message to Louis Smith saying well done on getting his silver and said

don't dare tell me that Quidditch is hard to understand but hopefully,

these guys will help you. Well, by the time they reach the

sixth and last event of the omnium, the riders are starting to get tired

but it is the most important because it is where the medals will finally

be decided. Rather than start as equals, each athlete goes into the

25 kilometre race for women with their accumulated points total from

the previous 5p. They then attempts to top up their tally by sprinting

for points every ten laps. First across the gets five, second three,

third to and fourth one. If they gain a lap, they get 20 valuable

points. If an athlete goes into the decisive round with a reasonable

buffer, they can choose to ride defensively, marking their rivals,

rather than trying to win the race. On the flip side, those who are well

behind have nothing to lose and often tried to take a lap. The

overall winner unsurprisingly is the athlete with a highest score at the

end of this final-round. CLAIRE BALDING: so an awful lot of

racing to be done and along the way, things can happen. We saw yesterday

Mark Cavendish's points race, a crash actually caused by him. A lot

of people can't believe he was disqualified for this. Essentially

what happens in a points race, you will be at the front, you will swing

up the track to relinquish your lead and as you do that, you come back

down and mark looked, looked away, it was his fault but at the same

time, that clearly wasn't a malicious move and it was not in the

middle of a sprint, it was at the end of the race but you consider

mayhem it caused. It happens a lot in these races, they are so closely

bunched, they are continually changing positions and when that

happens, it can cause collisions. We saw the Korean rider being

stretchered off, what is the news? He is fine, bit sore, back from

hospital last at. Ross Edgar, Arnold team-mate of mine, he is the coach

for the Korean sprint team and said he is OK -- and old. Mark Cavendish

apologise last night and has done so this morning and checked on his

progress. He said it was his fault. It is interesting, if you look at

any of the interviews with the other athletes in that race, they have

also the same thing, it is not a malicious move, it is not intend to

knock somebody off, it was a mistake and Mark has held his hands up and

said sorry. There isn't any danger here of something to Laura Trott?

Yes, there is always a risk, but often you will see crashes and it

sounds silly, but you learn how to crash without hurting yourself, you

learn how to fall without putting your hands out or potentially

breaking your collarbone. You slide. It is not very pleasant but even if

Laura falls off, they have spare bikes, you will see mechanics at the

side with a spare bike and if there is a crash, the races neutralise,

they can miss a lap and they can get back in there. Viviani still won the

overall points raised and omnium despite falling. Something to worry

about when you said yes, please don't let that happen. So here she

stands on the verge of her own bit of history, this will be her fourth

Olympic gold medal and she would be the first woman ever to do that, she

has since been joined on three by Charlotte Dujardin and it is not as

if this is the end for her, she could go on for a while yet. For a

long time, she is just 24. Traditionally, the female athletes

go on for longer than their male counterparts. She could be around

three or four Games from there with a ridiculous amount of medals and

she is showing no signs of slowing down. Everything she does, she

learns from it. There is definitely more to come from Laura after these

Games but at the moment, let's focus on this, fingers crossed, gold

medal. And she is only five foot four, relatively small for a

cyclist. There is Jason Kenny, getting ready for his keirin final

but obviously, he will be keeping an eye on Laura. They are due to get

married later this year. Her mum and dad are here, her older sister, some

big family support. It was her mother who got her into cycling in

the very beginning and she will have an enormous amount of support

because this velodrome is packed with British fans and that has got

to help in a race of over 100 laps with ten sprints in it. It feels

like a home venue with the amount of British flags. You can hear the roar

that Laura and Jason and the British athletes are getting. So Laura Trott

leads the omnium going into this final stage, the last of the six

different disciplines. 100 laps ahead of them, it is the points

race, wonderful to watch and you will hear superb commentary from

Chris Boardman and Simon Brotherton. Thank you. 100 laps of the track and

Laura Trott with a 24 point lead over the next closest rider. Points

will be added to the score that the riders already have, so Laura Trott

starts on 196. If they are all nice and compact,

the coaches take them to the line, sharing a joke unbelievably, giving

a water bottle to Laura Trott, taking a drink himself and both of

them having a little laugh, quite incredible when you consider the

stakes involved. Yes, very high stakes and the potential for a

memorable gold medal for Laura Trott, if she can maintain her

position at the top of the leaderboard here. She is in an

excellent can Makovich position with a decent cushion. Let's see what

unfolds over the next 100 laps -- she is in an excellent position.

With a sprint every ten laps, known to nine to go -- 99 to go, still

some way for the first sprint. That is why they are not racing very

hard. It gives you an idea of some of the tactics. That lead Laura

Trott has got can work against it she is not careful. She has to keep

Hammer, Laurie Berthon and perhaps Lauren Ellis, but particularly

Hammer and Laurie Berthon, not let them get away because if they do,

every rider will look at her to do all the chasing because she has the

most to lose. You have to keep on top of your rivals. There is also

that scenario of 20 bonus points if you lapped the field. If anyone does

go away, they are often they're long enough to pick up some points en

route, so 25 is the usual amount if someone gains a lap and joy

advantage is suddenly gone. So it is by no means going to be clear

sailing here for Laura Trott. There are a lot of tactical things for her

to do but one she can do is follow, follow and follow and save the

energy for when she needs to do the work herself. What an extraordinary

athlete she is. Defending champion here, three gold medals in her

career already, seven times a world champion, ten European gold medals

and she is still only 24. Yes, she is heading towards being the most

successful British Olympic athlete of all time if she carries on the

trend she has started. 94 laps when they come around again, the first

sprint at 90, of course. So four laps away from the first sprint of

the race as Laura Trott briefly shows her face at the front. They

are all bunched up a long way short of full speed at the moment, riding

along the inside on the front now, just moving up the track, in the red

of China, is Xiaoling Luo. She is joined by Anna Knauer, former junior

European champion, who joins forces with the rider from China and the

first action of the race starts to unfold. The Cuban rider tries to

close the gap and they are strong out behind. Those are the two

leaders. It is interesting how this race changes to a normal points

race, these riders don't pose a threat and will be allowed to go

when normally, this would be shut down immediately. Next time over the

line, they will take the bell for the first sprint of the race. Laura

Trott quite happy to let the points gap mopped up by the lower placed

riders, it all works to her favour. Laura Trott going just off the front

of the main field and closing the gap on the front three riders as

they crossed the line. Cuba, Germany, China and Great Britain

scoring points in that first sprint. One more for Laura Trott. She has

decided on an offensive strategy. I nip across here and if you want to

be back, you will have to come and get me. And suddenly, everybody is

on the back foot. Yes, I will roll through with you, they have everyone

doing the chasing of the leader. Unusual, but very exciting. Good to

see Laura Trott animating the race and she has done that earlier here.

She doesn't want to expand that energy, she needs to not go into the

red, because then she will be counter attacked and it gets very

difficult. Really got to have some self-discipline in this one. She

joined in without ploughing on at the front. Fired a warning shot to

the others that want to take the title from her. There she is off the

front again, Laura. She is waiting for them, she is not going to slow

down for them. It is a psychological blow because the others start to

think, I am going to defend my medal position. The other two at that

level on points and have it all to fight for. Kirsten Wild up with

Laura Trott in case she was interested in continuing the move.

She wasn't and Amalie Dideriksen, two-time world road champion, goes

to the front. She has shown promise in some events but lost a lot of

points and others. She was in fourth going into the last event but has

struggled and slipped down the leaderboard. It is really down to

Laura Trott. Hammer Annette Edmondson, just four points off the

podium, Edmondson. They will have derived defensively just to protect

a podium position -- happy to ride. Sarah Hammer was third in London,

Annette Edmondson the world champion last year. Improved as the omnium

has gone on. She knows she will not begin than

any leeway to try and gain a lap. Dedryck Boyata and is having another

go. She will prefer this longer offend -- Dideriksen. Laura Trott

can afford to go after riders only run. They are just starting the

sprint now down the back straight with Sarah Hammer looking to get on

the board. She is tussling away with Jolien D'Hoore in the silver medal

position at the moment. Laura Trott picks up a couple of points.

Dideriksen gets one for Denmark. Laura Trott has scored on both of

the opening sprints. She's more than a lap's worth layer of points at the

moment. Sarah Hammer has some clear ground between her and the Belgian.

78 laps to go. Kirsten Wild from the Netherlands is a really strong

rider. She could afford to go all day. Lauren Ellis going into this

final race in seventh place in the overall standings. Laurie Berthon is

in fifth position at the moment. She is something of a danger to the

podium riders. Laura Trott could say if you don't want to lose out, you

can do the chasing. Amalie Dideriksen is closing in all the

time. Allison Beveridge in the blue and white of Canada, stuck in no

man's land at the moment between the breakaway group and the splinter

peloton. They are playing a podium game here.

They are happy to let the backmarkers move a bit closer.

Careful not to overextend for no good reason here. It is not about

the win of the particular discipline, it is about the overall

competition. Lose a battle and win the war. Laura Trott is not prepared

to join in this chasing. It is perfect for her, because all of

those points are being mopped up by riders who will not count overall.

Does up to Sarah Hammer, Annette Edmondson and Jolien D'Hoore to do

something about this. Laura Trott has now...

Another set of points on offer. The next time they go over the line,

five riders of the front, Dideriksen, Laurie Berthon, Ellis of

New Zealand,. This is the worst case of scenario for the podium place

riders because they are not gaining that lap and are back in the same

race, they are back out there and taking the points. Sarah Hammer and

Jolien D'Hoore have had to start to do quite a bit of work to close the

gaps. They have to let these riders get on or they have to close it

down. Laura Trott still in a very strong position. That is the bottom

line. She has 199 points. It is still a good condition. She's

delighted the way this is working out at the moment. She is riding an

excellent tactical race. They need to let this slowdown if they can do

the chasing. Doing a little bit of both is the worst-case. They are not

doing either. Sarah Hammer cannot help herself riding off to try and

close the gap but she will expend a lot of energy doing that. Laura

Trott has let her go. Now she can sit on and let her do the chasing.

She may decide you are no threat to me. Down the back straight, Sarah

Hammer, Laura Trott and the rider from China start Jolien D'Hoore just

sprinted across. The three riders in podium position are on the track

together but they are not in the front. Riders are being dropped here

left right and centre. The rider from Taipei is struggling to hold

the pace and she is slipping behind somewhat. The way this race is

panning out, there is a chance they can gain a lap. That is the British

coach looking on. If they were careful, they would have eased up

and try and mop up some points. They have gone straight through. 20

points for those riders. We will see how that changes the overall

standing. It has not changed the top three. Laurie Berthon is now in

fifth place. She is some way short of the medal position in terms of

points. Sharakova first over the line. Sarah Hammer is just outside

the points. Laura Trott has decided she will get involved now. She will

get up there and police things. Hammer is on 177. The battle is

between silver and bronze at the moment. Road-macro you will notice

there is a judge at the side of the track and he will indicate where the

front of the race is in case they have a with the GPS system. What a

nightmare trying to keep track of where the front is. There is Laurie

Berthon from France, one of those who lapped the field from that five

rider group. Dideriksen from Denmark is on the move again, seeing if

anybody fancies another go, as is Kirsten Wild and Lauren Ellis. Four

of the five who lapped the field have gone to the front again. Laura

Trott needs to be a bit careful and sure enough she has decided I will

nip across to this group. Jolien D'Hoore doing some chasing

not to haemorrhage any more points. Laura Trott has helped her out.

Sarah Hammer struggling to get back onto this group. The rider who is

not in this group who would want to be is Annette Edmondson from

Australia. She is at the back of the peloton half a lap behind. She has

been caught out by this leading group which includes all three

riders in the medal positions at the moment. Dideriksen going through in

the front for Denmark followed by Lauren Ellis from New Zealand. She

raced in the team pursuit and finished in fourth place stop Jolien

D'Hoore from Belgium is in second place. The rest of the field slowing

up. Annette Edmondson who was off the back is trying to trace and she

is caught in between the breakaway group and the back-end of the field

who were not racing at full pelt. It looks like they are about to be

caught by the Laura -- Laura Trott group. Laura Trott trying to grab a

few more here. Dideriksen gets it ahead of Laura Trott. They somehow

weaved their way through and stayed up right. That was quite remarkable.

They went from back to front. Now they are off the front. Laura Trott

quite happy to roll through with anybody but will not overextend

herself. Sharakova got the five points. Laura Trott on 221, Sarah

Hammer on 197, Jolien D'Hoore one 196. No, it is 226 for Laura Trott.

Kirsten Wild from the Netherlands is into fourth place. What a fight for

the silver medal position. I don't think Kirsten Wild has finished

here. She is within sight of the podium. This race building towards a

crescendo. Laura Trott now just 50 laps from a piece of sporting

history as she goes for her fourth gold medal. Laura Trott in a

stronger position now than when she went into this final event. She has

been the stronger rider in this competition by far. Utterly

dominant. But she has to stay upright between now and the finish.

She must avoid any last-minute catastrophes out there. But so far

it is looking good for Great Britain and Laura Trott. Sarah Hammer

rolling around the bottom. Not worth her attacking because she will not
