Day 12 BBC One: 19.00-20.00 Olympics

Welcome back to Rio, this is the scene on Copacabana Beach. A

gorgeous, hot, sunny day, lots of people out enjoying the sunshine.

But most people here to enjoy the sport. In terms of indoor locations,

a dramatic night in the velodrome when Jason Kenny became the most

successful Olympian, joining Sir Chris Hoy, won six gold medals and

one silver medal. It's also been a stunning Olympics for the gymnasts,

the best ever for the British gymnasts. I'll talk to Nile Wilson

and Amy Tinkler after we remind ourselves what they've achieved.

Next, for Great Britain, is a meeting curve. Youngest member of

Team GB. Here's the big first tumble, back in full straight.

Straight back down on the diagonal with the double twisting double

back. Fantastic first two tumbles from Amy. The one and a half walk

out into the double tuck, very cleanly performed.

A very short run, powerful gymnast. Double pike, fantastic landing to

finish off. A great routine. A meeting to looking very at home in

this Olympic floor final. The score is in. It's an enormous 14.933. She

twisted and tumbled her way to that bronze medal.

Nile Wilson. What can he achieve here? In this men's Olympic high bar

final. Winding up into a big release, catch is almost perfect.

Full twisted Cove Ranch. Here's the big catcher. Good lad,

what a redeem. Nile Wilson makes history for Great Britain as the

first-ever gymnast to medal at the Olympics on the high bars. Both

bronze medallists are with me, medals around their necks. This has

been the most extraordinary experience, hasn't it? It's just

been incredible, I'm so lucky to have this experience, it's been

amazing. What have been the highlights? Are you surprised how

many athletes know who you are? Greg Rutherford knew who I was, Tom Daley

said good luck, I was like, oh my gosh, they know who I am, it's been

incredible. You've had unusual preparation, what were you doing

before you came out here? I just finished sitting my GCSEs, which is

a bit crazy, I get my results the day after I come back. How many did

you do? This year only three, they only took three, I'm finishing the

rest next year. What did you have to study in PE? Half of my PE paper was

an Nile It was kind of like questions about his preparation,

what he would do before a competition, how he'd deal with the

pressure and stuff. It was quite lucky I got that. Talking about

pressure, you went out and afford the floor routine of your dreams. My

coaches told me I had nothing to lose, and to enjoy it. That's what I

did, it was incredible. . When heading into one of these tumbles,

knowing you have to get the landing spot on, do you just go, oh yes!

Going into that final I knew anything could happen, it was

literally down to landings. After each tumble I was like, that was a

good one, then next one, that was good. I was just so happy by the end

of my routine, I knew I'd done the best I could. You're only 16, Simone

Biles is 19, so she's really old! She's extraordinary. What is it like

competing with her? Yeah, it's amazing, definitely someone I look

up to up to. To be competing and sharing the podium next to her is

incredible. She gets incredible height, doesn't she? Yeah, I mean

it's just incredible, can't even explain how amazing she is. She's

won four gold medals out here. Do you think there is a way in which

you can catch her over the next four years, is that your aim? Yeah, I've

just got to go back in the gym, work harder than what I have been,

hopefully see me in Tokyo. What do you expect when you get home? There

will be a lot of attention. As far as GCSE results, what do you hope

for? To be honest, I was happy with how they went. I honestly don't have

a clue what my grades are going to be. Just got to see how it goes

really. I'm going to scoop around here to talk to Nile That high bars

routine, was that everything you thought and hoped it could be? Thank

you, yeah, it was a very special day, special moment. Something you

dream about all your life, to be wearing one of these medals around

your neck in the biggest sporting event in the world. I was happy with

my high bar routine, happy how I handled the nerves and pressure,

never felt anything like it going into that routine in the final. It

was a challenging week. I did the all-round competition on Wednesday,

then had to wait almost a full week before doing the high bar routine.

It was challenging. The incredible success we've had over the week,

watching Max become the double Olympic champion, Lewis and smashing

it as always. Amy getting the bronze. I was thinking, I'd better

step up here, keep the flow going. To finish with a medal was

incredible. Is dealing with pressure something you've learnt to do or are

you naturally cool? Each competition you get experience. I'm fortunate to

have done two World Championships, Commonwealth Games, I've had

experience in very high-pressure environments. You learn each time. I

seem to relish and drive off it, the bigger the stage, almost, sometimes,

the better I perform. I absolutely love it, I love my job, I love the

sport. It's special, not many people get to experience what we

experience. You had to handle the fact that doing your weight to

compete there was a horrible incident with the Dutch gymnast.

Yeah, he was up before me, I was straight after, he came off the bar

quite badly. It's something you can't let affect you. I had a focus

on my gymnastics and my routine. He is reigning Olympic champion, it was

sad to see him do that. I was so excited to be in the final four

years ago in London, I was at home watching Zonderland winning gold.

Four years later I was competing in the final with him. It's like a

dream winning a medal. Do you now want to do more and achieve more?

100%. The desire I have for gymnastics, the passion I have for

sport, is incredible. I watched the guys who are successful, what Max is

doing, Uchimura, Verniaiev, winning Olympic gold medals, like its a walk

in the park. I want to get to that level, and that stage to be

challenging out every single major. My name the first on the team sheet,

you know. I love doing it, that's the main thing, focus on enjoying

myself and having fun. It's been an extraordinary successful time for

British gymnasts, what do you put it down to? As a team why have you

achieved so much? I think it's just belief. We set the goals in place,

we really work hard, we had the desire, but at the end of the day,

Lewis won bronze in Beijing eight years ago. I think we thought,

actually, we can do this sport. We can win medals. Since then it's

grown and grown. It's incredible for the sport back in Great Britain, the

amount of young kids getting into it. The passion we have now as a

nation for gymnastics is so good. I just think we now believe we are one

of the best nations at gymnastics. Indeed you are, congratulations to

you both. Amy started in gymnastics when she was just two, started

getting good at five, you can start as young as you like, you could also

leave it slightly later. Get going, doesn't matter how young the kids

are. Many congratulations to Nile and Amy, gymnastics hugely

successful. Trumped only by the cycling team who have performed

brilliantly in the velodrome. Every single member of the track team has

won a medal, and our two British sprinters are the women I will be

speaking to come along with Callum Skinner, part of the team who won

the team sprint and won Silver on his own.

COMMENTATOR: Olympic final, what a line-up we've got. The on now. Right

at the bank is Becky James. James with plenty to do here. Becky James

goes around the outside towards the line. There is a medal here for

Becky James and its silver! Katie argent, her first Olympic

Games. Away they go Christina Vogel take the early lead. Can she get

ahead? Not quite this time, but Katie March and will go for bronze.

Becky James at the front and she's going to stay there. -- Marchant.

Katie Marchant in the hunt for a medal here. Katie Marchant up

towards the line take that first ride. Can Marchant get it on the

line? I think she can. Brilliant from Katie Marchant, she claims the

bronze medal here in straight rights.

Hold on tight, this is the big one, the Olympic sprint final. Shoulder

to shoulder come into the finishing straight, who can get in front?

Vogel might just have got it. Becky James has to win this race. As James

got the speed to do it? It was so close. Becky James wins a second

silver medal here in Rio. Both Becky and Katie are with me now along with

Callum Skinner. You said just watching that back, oh good, it

actually happened. It's quite surreal watching it back. Two silver

medals for you, there must have been places in your head you never

thought it was possible. 100%, even after winning bronze at worlds, I

felt confident going into the cumin but you never know what will happen

in the race. -- going into the keirin. What was the reason? I don't

know, because I haven't performed in a sprint since 2013. The best I got

was fifth at worlds in 2014, then got injured, it was having the

confidence, I didn't feel confident in my ability until I have done 200

then I knew I had the legs. I Met your family last night, they are so

lovely, they are all mad for cycling. We have a mad keen cycling

family. Your mum as well. She's probably the strongest of us all.

Your races with Christina Vogel were incredibly close. They were really

tough, the hardest finish I could have asked for, she really all the

way. I honestly thought I'd had the last race, it was so close in the

end. Just a hairs breadth, you can see Vogel lose her balance, because

saddle came off. Yeah, before we started the first race I heard a big

Creek in her saddle and wondered what had gone on, when she threw for

the line, her whole saddle came off. Talk about throwing for the line,

timing has to be spot on, Katie Marchant did it in the second of the

races. You won bronze, you've only been cycling how long? Three years

now. Which is extraordinary. It feels so surreal, feel like I'm

living a dream. How have you transferred so quickly and been so

successful? The team at British cycling are amazing, the team saw

potential, used what they could to help me. I've done a lot of tactic

racing with jam. I'd have less experience than the other riders. It

seemed to fall together for me, but great timing. Your lunge for the

line, talk me through how you throw your bike forward. It's only

recently we've been working hard on this in training, because as you can

see races are won and lost in that. I've been working alongside Jan on

the video footage. I thought, I've got to get the line first, did

everything I could. Katie on the outside, coming in to the last

metre, you thrust the bike forward. Yes, I needed that bronze medal. If

you miss time that, presumably it can go horribly wrong. Absolutely,

races are won and lost on the line, it's all in the bike throw. Has it

whetted your appetite, are you hungry for more? Absolutely, so

excited to see what the next four years have for me. The cycling team

all seem to love training as well as racing. Callum Skinner has gold and

silver around his neck as part of this bridge team, then the

individual sprint, he had to come up against, unfortunately for you,

Jason Kenny. Jason's probably one of the best sprinters there has ever

been really. It was tricky because we are sharing a room at the same

time, there is a bit of rivalry, but we're best mates of the track and

fiercest competitors on. Chris Hoy told me the difficulty in facing the

team-mate is the coaches don't give you any tactical advice. It's

tricky, you go through the whole competition and you will see me at

the line often with Jan, we'll talk through a lot of the options of how

to approach the race, when it comes to riding against each other, you go

in partial, you won't get any advice at all, you are out there to see

what we can do. It's a bit more challenging. I would have

appreciated some advice. You have worked so hard to make sure

you could do the three laps because you get the toughest job. I would

not say it is the toughest, we all have a special focus. At the end you

can see who is man one, two, three. I was exhausted at the end of it.

That is something we have been working on for the last two years.

It will be difficult. It has not come with much success for all the

work we've put in, so amazing it came together now. It seems happy

team, a team that works hard. Will you give yourselves a break before

training? It is important to get back and switch off. We have focused

on one thing the past four years. We would not be able to give it best

next time unless we had arrests. Wonderful to watch you progress and

thanks the coming out into the heat of the park. Many congratulations to

you all. We hope that Laura Trott will join us shortly. Mo Farah

started the defence of his 5000 metres title and once again had a

little bit of a hick up in terms of qualifying. He fell over in the

10000 and got up again and won a gold medal. Well he stumbled quite

badly. He is in the White with the sunglasses with 200 metres to go. A

clipping of heels. He managed to stay on his feet, not the same for

the American athlete who fell and was out of the race. Keep your eye

on Mo. You can see. He has almost gone. Hassan Mead of the USA went

down. Mo recovered and is coasting. He only needs to finish in the top

five to qualify and he finished third. Gebrhiwet, the Ethiopian,

won. Another British runner will be in the final, Andrew Butchart, who

finished fifth in heat two. This is what Mo said afterwards to Phil

Jones. It shows how precarious as races can

be when you got clipped. I just had to stay on my feet, stay strong. Now

I have to recover. It is hard work. It is hot. I have to rest up now. In

these races every step is almost a reluctant step, you want to be in

the final, but you have to get through this round. That is what I

mean, you have to get through it. How well do you feel you have

recovered after the 10,000? Not as well as I wanted but I will have to

have more rest, put my feet up, chill in my room. As for your place

in history, it is assured, but you can take it up another notch if you

win a gold medal in the 5000. Have you thought about what that would

mean? Not at all. Thanks to all the people who have supported me. You

have sent great messages. Thanks everybody back home, I love you all.

You are getting support from the team and you have been an

inspiration to the team. I enjoyed what I do. I work hard. I was

emotional after my final but I have now recovered and I am taking it in,

enjoying it, just get through it. We wish you well. Thank you, everyone.

I love you. Tonight, Dina Asher-Smith, a kit carrier in London

four years ago, has her chance to contest an Olympic final at 2:30am.

Also worth staying up for, the 100 metres hurdles. Tiffany Porter and

Cindy Ofili going for Team GB. It has not been the greatest Olympics

for Britain's boxes. Nicky Adams is guaranteed a medal, she is through

to the semifinals tomorrow. Today, this evening, it is the chance of

Savannah Marshall, one of a 12 strong team that came to Rio. She

was favourite to win a gold medal in 2012 but suffered a shock defeat in

the opening bout. A win against her nemesis would guarantee a medal,

against Nouchka Fontijn. Over to Richie Woodhall.

We have quite an atmosphere. That is the formidable figure of Nouchka

Fontijn from the Netherlands. A terrific boxer and reigning world

champion stop silver medallists. She and Savannah Marshall have a rivalry

over the years, but the recent advantage is well and truly with the

boxer coming out of the blue corner. In inspired mood at her second

Olympic Games. Savannah Marshall, in inspired mood in this her second

Olympic Games. The boxer from Hartlepool.

The boxer in the red corner, representing Great Britain...

Savannah Marshall! Introducing the boxer in the blue

corner. Representing benevolence... -- representing the Netherlands.

We are at the quarterfinal stage of the women's 75 kilograms

middleweight tournament, boxing to progress through to the medal

stages, between boxers who know one another very well in deed. The boxer

in red going into pursuit of her opponent is Savannah Marshall, 25,

of Hartlepool. Her opponent, wearing blue, also operating out of the

orthodox stance is Nouchka Fontijn. In the past year alone, since 2015

at the European games, they have met four times and it is Nouchka Fontijn

who has prevailed on all occasions. Savannah Marshall's Globe win came

in 2013 in the final of the European Union European Championships.

Marshall took gold. She is pushing her opponent back. She happens to

improve her accuracy and she did with that shot. As she is going

forward, she has to block the jab of the opponent. Fontijn on the back

foot, waiting for Marshall to come forward. In the most recent meeting,

it was at the World Championships this year. It was Fontijn who

prevailed in the semifinal stage, taking championship silver. Savannah

Marshall came away with a bronze medal. She is acquitting herself

well. A positive start by Marshall but Fontijn operating well in the

space of the boxing ring. A bit of an untidy exchange at close

range to conclude that first round, but a positive start by Marshall,

going in pursuit of Fontijn. I think that was not too bad at all

for Marshall on that front foot. Fontijn is dangerous with shots like

that but that was a super shot by Savannah Marshall. On the front foot

straightaway. But this Dutch girl, she is quality. We can have a look

at the scores. Going for Fontijn on that back foot. Not a lot in that

round. It could have gone a split either way.

Into the second round. Savannah Marshall, the two-time Olympian. A

terrific clipped by landing a right hand but Fontijn countered

immediately and she is right back into reverse gear, Fontijn, trying

to control the distance. Marshall keeps on coming and a terrific

exchange to begin the round. Better from Marshall. Her accuracy was

improved, hitting the target and looking strong on the front foot.

Maybe needs to move her head occasionally. Maybe slipped to the

left to avoid the backhand. Marshall on the front foot and a nice jab

going forward. A good right hand again from Marshall, a profitable

punch for heard to this point in the contest. She probably needs to

switch downstairs occasionally with the right hands to the body as she

is going forward. That is better. This is a better start from

Marshall. Got to keep it going. Setting things up with the jab very

well before the boxers fall into a clinch, was Marshall. She entered

London 2012, her first Olympic Games. Adjustment will need to be

made to the head guard of Savannah Marshall. She entered as the

reigning world champion beating Shields on routes to that. Still the

only woman in history to have inflicted defeat on her. Beautiful

jab as she steps back into the mix. She is not a person who particularly

enjoys the spotlight. She is dubbed by the media as the Silent Assassin.

A positive second round but Fontijn, like the quality operator she is,

not panicking. She is not panicking but she is getting beaten in this

round. A better round from Marshall. The double jab especially is coming

into effect and this is good work by the British boxer, responding well

after losing the first. We can see if we can listen in.

Good girl. I just need you to keep your shape a little bit better. Keep

your shape a little bit better he says, don't let her pull you down.

He knows what he is talking about. It was a better response from

Savannah Marshall on the front foot. The double jab going forward, that

was excellent. Fontijn, we know, is a quality operator but I thought

Savannah Marshall here boxed better in the second round. Similar to the

first contest when she lost the opening round. We can see where the

judges have gone this time. Only one score, very unlucky because I

thought she had a good round. Into the second half of the contest and

all square on the card of Judge B. Nouchka Fontijn, the number two seed

is leading. But Marshall is in inspired mood. Onto the front foot

and working well behind the jab and always looking to take it to her

opponent. A good shot but Fontijn comes back. She has to switch to the

body now, Savannah Marshall. It is all head work stop she has too

nipped downstairs with a right hand to the body. She is positive coming

forward, but it is predictable now and so Fontijn is bringing her onto

some shots, which is why she has to mix it up and work downstairs

better. Mentioning that going into London

2012 as world champion perhaps did not suit the temperament of Savannah

Marshall particularly. She comes into this as a bronze medallist in

the World Championship. A little bit under the radar because the

spotlight on Savannah Marshall at London has been transferred to

Shields and plenty of talk about the long winning streak she is on. Good

right hand by Marshall. Fontijn is feeling the pace, a couple of signs

on holding on on the inside. Fontijn again holding. She is struggling a

little, the Dutch girl. Feeling the pace definitely. Marshall has to

keep it going. That was a cracking 1-2 from Fontijn, catching Marshall.

Fontijn is breathing through an open mouth. Day 12 of the Olympic

tournament and the first bout of the tournament for Fontijn having

received a bye in the opening round. That can sometimes work against

boxers, coming in with a little bit of ring rust rather than being

refreshed and rested. Listening intently, Savannah

Marshall. Coming on that front foot, good right hand, there is Gary Hale

bellowing out instructions. A very good GB coach. Good work on the

front foot from Savannah Marshall. Humming forward. But it's those

scores that are the most important thing. Let's have a look. Across the

board again. Into the fourth and final round, Lee

Pullen in that corner, a jolting left jab from Marshall, coming out

in spirited, aggressive fashion because Lee Pullen said, you need to

throw lots of shots. He recognised that Fontijn is blowing a little bit

and Marshall is carrying out instructions towards her because she

has come out blazing to begin this fourth and final round.

She needs a massive round here, Savannah Marshall, because she's

trailing by three points for Judges A and see. In all reality in

practical terms she needs to four stoppage. -- A and C. You've got to

give her ten out of ten for effort here, Marshall, on the front foot.

She keeps on coming. Got to find the quality shots, she needs some power

punches now, does Marshall, because she needs a stoppage. She's been

very unlucky with some of the scores here. Nevertheless, just less than a

minute. Can she do it, can she find that one shot? She's really going

for it now, Savannah Marshall, all credit to her. Jolting left jab

again from Marshall. Fontijn fighting on courage and pride and

instinct because she appears to be running out of energy rapidly, look

at the manner in which she is wilting and losing her boxing

stance. Still looking to work away both upstairs and downstairs, is

Marshall, not giving up this task despite the clock not being on her

side. Onto the front foot once more, unrelenting advance, trying to walk

down her opponent. Fontijn intelligently tying her opponent up.

Good left hand again from Marshall, and another one. Fontijn again

retreating beyond distance, before wrapping her opponent up and

preventing Marshall from working away. What a spirited display. There

can be little doubt that given the status of the scorecards into the

fourth and final round, it will be Fontijn the reigning European games

champion and reigning World Championship silver medallist who

will be going through to the final four. But Savannah Marshall gave it

absolutely everything and when you consider the contrasting manner in

which she acquitted herself here at this, her second Olympic Games, when

compared to her first Olympic appearance four years ago when she

was dispirited, deflated and didn't perform well at all, this has very

much been a road to redemption for Savannah Marshall. Not the result

she would have wanted but the manner in which she has acquitted herself

is very impressive indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by

split decision... In the blue corner, representing the

Netherlands, Nouchka Fontijn. The number two seed and reigning World

Championship silver medallist gets a victory. A split decision victory

over her familiar rival, Savannah Marshall. She goes through to the

middle stages in the final four but immense credit should be put in the

direction of Savannah Marshall because she acquitted herself very

well, fought with everything she had, conceded a split decision but

has laid to rest the ghost of London 2012 where she didn't perform as she

would have liked. All British boxing hopes now rest

with Nicola Adams and Joe Joyce. To give an idea of the timetable this

evening, on BBC One, I'll be talking to Laura Trott shortly about her

achievement and winning her fourth Olympic gold medal. A little later

on, Jack Laugher, now officially written's most successful ever

diver, he will reflect on his gold in the thinker and silver in the

three metres springboard. On BBC Two from 8pm we will bring a medley of

all sports you would only see at an Olympic Games, basketball, handball

and volleyball. From 9pm on BBC One, live, the women's hockey semifinal,

New Zealand against Great Britain, a rematch of the bronze medal match

from London which Great Britain won. If they win this thing would be into

the gold medal match, very exciting. Laura Trott is the centre of

attention, she's over their in the mix of different journalists doing

interviews. She'll be talking to me very shortly. Having recovered, I

hope, from an incredibly suspenseful night in the velodrome. The delays,

threat of this qualification for Jason Kenny, drama of the restart.

Through it all two of Britain's finest ever sporting superstars

shone, Laura Trott and Jason Kenny, the golden couple. I guess we're

just like any normal couple. The gold medal goes to Great Britain.

What a start to this velodrome campaign in Rio.

Gold for Great Britain! Smashed the world record. Laura Trott, the first

British woman ever to win three Olympic gold medals.

And Jason Kenny wins the gold medal. He is the Olympic sprint champion.

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

It is a special, special Olympic moment for Great Britain. Laura

Trott is Britain's most successful female Olympian of all time. A

record fourth gold medal. Jason Kenny's got it, what a ride.

It's a golden hat-trick in Rio for Jason Kenny. Chris Hoy has company.

Jason Kenny has a six Olympic gold. They have ten gold medals between

the pair of them. It's some partnership. Both of them

appear on the list of Britain's most successful ever Olympians, Chris Hoy

only a head because of the alphabet. Basically level, Jason Kenny, with

six gold and one silver. Alongside those who have won four gold medals,

is Laura Trott. Many congratulations, it's an incredible

achievement. How do you reflect on last night? I just don't even know,

it was insane, crossing the finish line for my race, so many emotions

were running through me. It was sheer joy I had managed to achieve

it, relief I'd managed not to get ill, get injured in the build-up.

Then watching Jason, I was so nervous I don't think I could have

been any more nervous. Especially for him as well, would he get

disqualified? I was like, oh no. It was supposed to be six golds, what

if it isn't now. You went from these moments of pure elation, your

brother was here, your parents, to sitting watching, thinking, oh no?

It would have genuinely ruined your night. I would have been heartbroken

if he'd been disqualified, for it to come together, when he crossed the

finish line, I couldn't believe it. I knew how much he wanted going into

that. It was a perfect Olympics. Let's look at the moment you thought

he might have been disqualified. Riders in the keirin are not allowed

to pass this bike rider until he reaches a certain point, he didn't

get off the track very quickly so there was a massive delay while they

studied a photo finish, you are waiting, it looks from these

pictures as if Jason had passed the back wheel, which would have meant

if he was the first to do so he would be disqualified but they

didn't have a camera on the line. They had head-on, but not decide on,

Iain Dyer, the coach, got our footage, showing the attorney had

slowed down before getting to the line, which it shouldn't, it should

stay at the 50 K and pull off. Nobody got disqualified thankfully.

If any had booked as qualified they would have felt hard done by. If the

gun had been shot nobody would have said anything and the race would

have continued. When he did get a chance for the third restart, he

looked sensational, he has so much power in the finish. Definitely,

once he hit the front I knew that was it, he was third at one point, I

was like, he's definitely going to win, I went mad. I was so, so

pleased for him. He's a fairly quietly spoken chap, how do you

think he's handling being as high-profile as he now is, being at

the top of the list of great Olympians? He'll take it in his

stride. Jason's pretty quiet, I don't think it'll change him, he'll

still be that keeps himself to himself type of person. For user

challenge might be on to reach six in terms of gold? I mean maybe, I

don't know what offence will be in Tokyo, they are talking about taking

the Omni out again, but they said that after London and just changed

it. I'm hoping it'll stay. The Omni is a real all-round test of cycling

skill. You seem to be good at all of it. Back in the day I was a

sprinter, so I've got a bit of both anyway. -- the omnium. I was happy

with the omnium, felt good, felt strong, I was glad it all came

together. All the team have won medals, it seems you have incredible

depth with talent in British cycling. Definitely, it is only

growing now, now we've got a female under 23 programme as well, Chris

Hughton my old coach has taken it over. The strength and depth will

get better and better. Jason joked earlier he wants to take a break but

he's worried he might not be able to step back into the team. It is a

worry because it's growing bigger and bigger. That is reflected in

terms of people searching for information on you and Jason. If you

look at the list of globally the most searched athletes, you might be

surprised, out in front, this is in the last 24 hours, Simone Biles,

Jason Kenny second, you are third. Usain Bolt is only 50. Interest like

that, you would hope, will make people want to take up cycling.

Definitely, it can only be good for the sport, it seems weird to me I've

become this idle, I know Jason will feel the same. It's about giving

back to the sport, so if it means I inspire the next generation to get

on a bike, that's what I want to do. I Met your parents, who are lovely,

your mum explained how she got you into cycling. It's down to them I'm

here today, she chose cycling to lose weight, one thing led to

another and I'm standing here with two Olympic golds around my neck.

What has cycling giving you in your life, has it changed you as a

person? Taking up sport at a young age gave me the attitude of never

giving up, it was helped by my mum and her weight loss, she went

through some pretty hard times and never gave up. She is now size eight

from size 18. It was incredible what she achieved. I guess it was that

attitude growing up that made me think, no, I can do this. You are a

great ambassador for the sport, British sport in congratulations. It

was Whelan Wheeler is that your mum joined. If you want information on a

club near you, look at how I get inspired sport website. -- it was

Whelan Wheelers. We let Laura Trott take a rest from answering incessant

questions. She's in good form. What about our sailors? So much success

out there on the water. I'm always slightly nervous when we had to

Shirley Robertson because I never know whether you have enough wind or

not, I need it in the nicest possible way. Let's not go there,

Clare, no wind today. I'm with Saskia Clark and Hannah, we've been

waiting all day for the final lap of honour, are you losing patience?

Yeah, we just want it to be done, we had a marathon week so far,

conditions have been wacky and tricky pants down. To have no wind

today is tough. We spoke this afternoon that you'd be standing on

the podium this afternoon. If you don't race today, there is 50

minutes for them to start the race, it'll go on until tomorrow. We were

looking forward to a good sleep. I guess we'll go through the whole

process again, try to stay calm, eat properly, drink properly, get some

sleep ready for tomorrow. We had moments of celebration yesterday,

you are in limbo, aren't you? Limbo is a good word to describe it. We

can't wait for it to be completed. I described it early on BBC One as the

Gavin and Stacey of sailing, Essex girl, Welsh girl, such a tight unit.

What's this time like, waiting to get the gold? We could have spent

six years together, we've run out of chat, to be honest. We've been

sitting playing around. It's fine, we're a team together, we need to

close it out. It's frustrating today. Have you been thinking about

the podium moment, sharing it together? A little bit but not too

much, we just need to get this race ticked off, then we can really start

thinking about it, probably. We look forward to watching your lap of

honour, good luck, girls. It will be fabulous when they get

the chance because they know they cannot be beaten and congratulations

to them. The live sport going on right now and you can have access to

it if you wish. Online and via the app, the women's golf has started.

Catriona Matthew and Charley Hull going for Great Britain in a strong

field. No medals at stake in the diving pool but Tonia Couch and

Sarah -- Barrow are in contention. In basketball... We can look at this

one second. Very good. In basketball, we have Spain, the

silver medallist in the last two Olympics are taking on France he won

silver in Sydney. On BBC Two we will be showing you some of that. There

is also taekwondo, men's and women's quarterfinals. That you can see

online. As we talked with the cyclists, the

track cycling has finished and the action has moved to BMX and Chris

Hoy went to join Simon Brotherton. You can see the course with lump

some bumps. Kyle Evans and Liam Phillips are going for Britain. He

crashed out in the final, huge bad luck in London, but we can head into

this seeding races with Simon and Chris. In the first aid competition

they just do a seeding run and that is it and then the men are back in

the quarters tomorrow. The winning go straight through to the

semifinals on Friday. David Graf from Switzerland. A

European games bronze medal last year. He overshot that by a mile.

Still fifth place. He is in the mix. Very smooth at this stage, though.

This has been a good run from the Swiss, David Graf. Wants to keep it

going through the final time check. Connor Fields' time could be put

under real pressure, to the extent he is now the fastest rider. David

Graf of Switzerland takes over at the top of the leaderboard from

Connor Fields, the American rider, by less than a tenth of a second.

Sam Willoughby from Australia. A two-time world champion and Olympic

silver medallist four years ago. But a rider who is dealing with injury

problems. The word is that he is looking nervous, so let's see how he

is dealing with this. He is one of the big names, though.

Perhaps we will get some indication of whether he has injury issues that

are holding him back or whether they are things he can deal with.

Off-balance going into the turn, but seems to have got away with it. Up

to fourth at the second time check. This will be crucial, this straight,

can he make up time? Around the final turn and he is the new leader.

Can he maintain it and carried the speed over the line? Not quite, but

a good run from Sam Willoughby. This is the two-time and current

world champion. Joris Daudet, from France. He won that World

Championship in Colombia at the end of May.

Knocked out in the semifinals four years ago.

He was superb in the World Championships, fluid and smooth and

fast. He managed to -- has he managed to keep hold of that form

here? A good start so far. Great start, into the lead. He is a real

technician. Look how smooth he is. A super start from Joris Daudet. Just

down to second but they will not -- there will not be much in that.

Joris Daudet looking every inch the world champion. Fastest at the final

time check and over the line in the new fastest time. A great start from

the world champion. That was impressive.

So smooth. Liam Phillips of Great Britain in Rio on a glorious sunny

afternoon. Liam Phillips is coming back from injury. It has not been

the ideal running into the Olympics but he has had great results this

year. It is a shame about the injury six weeks ago. Let's see how he has

bounced back. Winner of the season-long World Cup competition.

Liam Phillips under way. The time to beat has been set by Joris Daudet,

the world champion. He is into fourth place and definitely in the

mix. Just killed the speed a little bit on landing.

That is reflected in the time. This will be the crucial straight. He has

lost momentum, can he gained some of it back? Three quarters of the way

through. Up into tenth place. Up towards the finishing line, trying

to push the speed through. Ninth quickest for Liam Phillips. It was

not a bad start, up in fourth place. Within striking distance of the

leaders, but the middle section killed his run. I think he will be

disappointed with that one. He actually ended up in tenth but

that is good enough to see him through to the quarterfinals. We

have gathered a crowd because when they see someone walking with a gold

medal and silver medal they are impressed, and beside me is

Britain's most successful diver. We are used to talking about Tom Daley,

who has raised the profile of diving back home but Jack Laugher has

earned the right to call himself that thanks to a medal in the

synchro and an medal on his own last night.

COMMENTATOR: Here come the Brits. Jack Laugher and Chris Mears.

Beautifully composed. This is excellent synchronisation.

Yes, it is tremendous. One, two, 3Com ago. Yes! So good!

Yes, yes, yes! Are we getting excited here? This is the moment.

Here they go. Yes! Come on! That is an Olympic medal. Just the Chinese

to follow. 95 wins it for China. Anything less, it is Great Britain

gold. No, I don't think it is good enough. It must be gold, surely it

is gold. They have done it. Oh, my word, it is gold, pure gold. The

boys are in tears. Absolutely in bits. COMMENTATOR: We

have reached the culmination of the three metre springboard final for

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

out of reach. A monumental effort out there today. He has come out

this evening and he has absolutely delivered. Silver for Jack Laugher.

A brilliant display tonight. I am so proud of you, man. The PE teacher

from school, his dad, loads of people. He loves me.

I guess that is good! Save to say that Jack Laugher will never forget

Rio de Janeiro. What a Games. It has been fantastic and for the team.

With Dan and Tom in the bronze medal synchro. Followed up by me and

Chris. It is life changing, a fantastic experience. And

individually to finish it off, it is breathtaking. Did you find it hard

to come down from the gold medal? You had a break and then you have to

get into the final for the individual. Of course. Probably one

of the hardest moments of my life. I almost felt deflated after it

because a gold medal at the Olympics is what I have worked towards for 15

years. The elation and pride and happiness around my family, coaches,

everyone. It felt like that was it. Then it felt like I had fallen off a

mountainside the day after. It was difficult to get back on the board,

especially when Chris was sitting there. He was not diving. He was

sitting therein looking, and it was difficult to get back into the pool.

You only just scraped into the final. The worst performance I have

done since London. Luck was on my side. Literally the worst

performance I have done. Once in the final you put in one of the best

performances. That is when I turned it around. The morning was terrible.

It was going back to the village... That was pretty good! And regroup,

refocus. I had a sleep. I had face time with my girlfriend. I looked at

pictures that made me happy and tried to get into a positive frame

of mind to go to the final and do what I did. It was tough, but it

worked out in the end. With the talent you have, presumably you

could have gone into swimming, gymnastics, trampoline? I have swum

since the age of three. But missing eight inches in height. I did

gymnastics and trampoline. I have dabbled in different sports, but

diving was the one for me. I enjoyed it so much. A brilliant combination

of all of them with the gymnastics and water element. It is a sport I

have loved since I was seven years old. What seems to be shared between

the successful teams, the cycling, swimming team, diving team, you are

happy in each other's company. You travel together and you are good

mates. The British diving team is one of the closest I have seen,

especially on the diving scene. Nobody has as much fun. We are

always laughing, we brilliant friends in and out of the pool. You

know you have your team-mates cheering for you. It is brilliant.

It feels sensational, especially having a victory. It feels it is

their victory also. You will have more honours coming your way will

stop I know a bus has been named after you that goes past the Hydro

where you used to train. New have been sensational. Jack will now go

off with Chris Mears to support Tom Daley who starts on Friday and his

final will be on Saturday. Badminton, Rajiv Ouseph, who has

been in action in the quarterfinals, the first British man to make an

Olympics quarterfinal but he ran into Viktor Axelsen, and it was the

Dane who won in straight games. 21-12, 20 1-16. An excellent

tournament for Rajiv Ouseph, he did not make it out of the group stages

in London. There is still a chance of a medal in badminton because

Ellis and Langridge played tomorrow. I am going to BBC Two where we will

bring you volleyball, handball, a bit of football. And I will be back

on BBC One
