:00:20. > :00:26.Good evening and welcome to all Olympics fans joining us for a
:00:27. > :00:30.half-hour programme on BBC Two where we will show some of the best of the
:00:31. > :00:34.action from today. It's steaming hot in Brazil so we're trying to stay in
:00:35. > :00:39.the shade. Let's give an idea of what's coming up. Between now and
:00:40. > :00:43.8:30pm will show football highlights, Brazil against Honduras,
:00:44. > :00:48.then basketball, men's quarterfinal action, France against Spain.
:00:49. > :00:53.Volleyball, also quarterfinal stages, USA against Poland. Later,
:00:54. > :01:01.handball, just a brilliant sport to watch. Men's quarterfinals, Germany
:01:02. > :01:04.against Qatar. After making a shockingly disappointing start to
:01:05. > :01:09.the football tournament with two goalless draws, Brazil are suddenly
:01:10. > :01:13.starting to find form, winning their quarterfinal against Colombia 2-0
:01:14. > :01:24.today, against Honduras. Here is how they got on. The most successful
:01:25. > :01:28.football nation in history. They may have won the World Cup five times
:01:29. > :01:35.but so far and Olympic gold medal has eluded them. What a start. The
:01:36. > :01:40.opener there already. Any nerves they might have had has dissipated,
:01:41. > :01:42.Neymar bundles it into the net, he's taken a bit of a blow for his
:01:43. > :01:57.troubles. Palacio in the back, Neymar's onto
:01:58. > :02:03.him. He did so well to it, Neymar. Honduras have tried to stop Brazil
:02:04. > :02:10.anyway they can. It isn't working. Again, the offside flag stays down.
:02:11. > :02:20.It's 2-0. And Gabriel Jesus adds to the early Neymar goal, giving Brazil
:02:21. > :02:23.the kind of lead they have merited. The 200 million watching at home,
:02:24. > :02:32.what they would have wished for. Game over! Gabriel Jesus with his
:02:33. > :02:38.second, Brazil with the third. Honduras looking just as vulnerable
:02:39. > :02:43.as they did before the double substitution made at half-time.
:02:44. > :02:53.Brazil corner, no marking, it's number four. This time it's the man
:02:54. > :02:57.with the same number of goals as the number on his shirt. It is joy
:02:58. > :03:10.unbridled in the Maracana. This side are going to be in the
:03:11. > :03:20.gold medal final, playing like this, looking for number five. It's
:03:21. > :03:35.exquisite to watch, Luan makes it a rout. Penalty. Challenge from
:03:36. > :03:47.behind. The referee says, I have no choice. Neymar started the scoring.
:03:48. > :03:54.Neymar completes the scoring. Brazil 6-0 Honduras. And you can probably
:03:55. > :03:57.hear 200 million people right across this huge country all celebrating as
:03:58. > :04:06.one. Fantastic win for Brazil, they are
:04:07. > :04:12.in the final, they meet either Nigeria or Germany. That match is
:04:13. > :04:18.live. It's in the early stages, but it's live on the Red Button.
:04:19. > :04:23.Handball was one of the big hits of London 2012, it took place at the
:04:24. > :04:28.Copper Box. Here it's in a similar structure, more of a brown box
:04:29. > :04:32.called the Future Arena. It's fun, a mix of basketball and football.
:04:33. > :04:36.Height is very important, you need to come down with a ball to score
:04:37. > :04:39.goals, five players on the pitch at any one time, hopefully this will
:04:40. > :04:44.give you an idea of why it's fun to watch.
:04:45. > :04:51.The Olympic quarterfinal between Germany and Qatar leaves here in the
:04:52. > :04:58.Future Arena. -- begins. Germany in all-white playing from right to
:04:59. > :05:01.left. These two sides met in the quarterfinal of the World
:05:02. > :05:07.Championships last year, Qatar came out on top then. Who will be through
:05:08. > :05:16.to the semis in Rio? European against Asian champions here. The
:05:17. > :05:21.defence specialist pushing forward. The defence to week. Vida gets his
:05:22. > :05:34.first goal. The 14th goal of the tournament for
:05:35. > :05:48.Fabian Vida. Now Qatar with their first attack. -- for Fabian Wiede.
:05:49. > :05:55.To the left, then back into Capote. They've done this a few times,
:05:56. > :06:06.started with their main weapon of last year, Markovic. The goalkeeper
:06:07. > :06:13.is up to that one. Tenth in the Bundesliga, but moving to
:06:14. > :06:23.powerhouses keel in the new season. -- Kiel. The number 25 comes onto
:06:24. > :06:36.the court in the centre back position. There is the long shot
:06:37. > :06:48.from Hafner. Germany still with possession. Wiede. Score of the only
:06:49. > :06:52.goal so far. Germany 1-0 Qatar. Interesting that he would normally
:06:53. > :06:58.be a playmaker, now pushed back. Hefner goes left. -- Hafner. He
:06:59. > :07:09.would happily move to the other side, where he plays with Hanover.
:07:10. > :07:12.Two in on the line as they push in. Staying as a second line player for
:07:13. > :07:24.the moment. Straight on the near post, nicely done. Having to work
:07:25. > :07:32.really hard. Under an awful lot of pressure there. Now Qatar come
:07:33. > :07:42.forward again. Capote into his standard left back position. The
:07:43. > :07:47.French born back player get his first of the game. Qatar get there
:07:48. > :07:55.first of the game. They trailed Germany 2-1 three and a half minutes
:07:56. > :08:02.into this 30 minute first half. They are waiting for Hafner to come back
:08:03. > :08:07.on, Germany will start to build again. The Qataris might have been
:08:08. > :08:17.studying the German wingers who stayed in and wait for their
:08:18. > :08:20.opportunities. Gensheimer squashed the defence and left them narrow.
:08:21. > :08:25.They are finding a way through the middle, through the line player or
:08:26. > :08:36.through the Hanover back player, Hafner. Off by Drux, Hafner inside,
:08:37. > :08:43.finds the back of the net. It's fair to say Sigurdsson is a master of
:08:44. > :08:47.deception. They probably thought they would play hard on the wings,
:08:48. > :08:54.but they are playing hard down the middle so far. The French player
:08:55. > :08:59.goes in on the line. A bit of space for Capote to come in. He's got such
:09:00. > :09:07.a huge shot. Given far too much space by the German defence. Drux
:09:08. > :09:16.into Wiede, get it out wide as the whistle goes. Qatar need to get into
:09:17. > :09:19.their stride. At least Capote, it's not too well organised at the back,
:09:20. > :09:25.as they make as substitution between attack and defence. The number four
:09:26. > :09:36.who played for Egypt in the 2008 Olympic Games goes off, in his place
:09:37. > :09:42.comes the number 14. They try to stretch the defence and allow space
:09:43. > :09:50.for Capote to. To the back of the net, Qatar drawn level, Capaldi
:09:51. > :09:53.finding the space. -- Capote a. Germany then surged ahead with some
:09:54. > :09:59.fantastic finishing power shots, waning in from right and left. Plus
:10:00. > :10:03.some flair. Anyone who can count can tell it seven aside, not five aside.
:10:04. > :10:10.We rejoin later in the second half, Qatar now 11 adrift.
:10:11. > :10:24.COMMENTATOR: Capote rattled the bar. Another break. Wiede again, it's a
:10:25. > :10:27.rout. Germany 34-22 Qatar. As we approach the final minute. It looks
:10:28. > :10:34.as though it's going to be Germany who progress to the Olympic
:10:35. > :10:39.semifinal. Long ball to Wiede, brings it down and slotted home.
:10:40. > :10:43.Great shotgun he dummied the first one. His arm came up, flicked the
:10:44. > :10:48.ball underneath, a bit of showboating to finish off. Fifth
:10:49. > :10:53.goal of the match for Wiede. Germany went back, guess what's happening,
:10:54. > :10:58.fast breaks, it's Wiede. Did it going? It didn't. Of the underside
:10:59. > :11:04.of the bar and bounced off the line. Because he didn't do a trick shot.
:11:05. > :11:10.There's a lesson for you. It was quite nice, the last one, I have to
:11:11. > :11:24.say. Only their second fast break out of ten. Wolff has had real
:11:25. > :11:28.influence in the defence. Blazed over by Markovic. Thinking about
:11:29. > :11:32.going for a fast break again. Everybody not back in position. One
:11:33. > :11:38.more chance maybe for Germany to bag another goal. Wiede... Or are they
:11:39. > :11:42.just going to play out the plot? They can't be bothered any more,
:11:43. > :11:48.Germany, because they have won by 12 goals. And the Germans are into the
:11:49. > :11:52.Olympic semifinal. They expected a tough match against Qatar, they did
:11:53. > :11:55.have to work hard, but in the end it ended up being very, very
:11:56. > :12:05.comfortable for them. It finishes here in the men's handball
:12:06. > :12:09.quarterfinal of Rio 2016 Germany 34-22 Qatar. STUDIO: More good news
:12:10. > :12:13.for Germany, taking the lead against Nigeria in the football semifinals.
:12:14. > :12:18.Germany taking a step towards the gold medal match. They would meet
:12:19. > :12:22.Brazil. Got beaten by them in the semifinals of the World Cup. Here in
:12:23. > :12:26.Brazil football is worshipped, but in terms of participation the most
:12:27. > :12:30.popular sport is volleyball. They play it on the beach, in a park
:12:31. > :12:34.anywhere they can put up a net and pat the ball. When you see it at the
:12:35. > :12:36.top level there is no patting about it, it's serious, as you will see
:12:37. > :12:43.here. Two teams have finished their warm
:12:44. > :12:47.up, the fans hoping for a thriller. As a neutral, those of you watching
:12:48. > :12:52.the hopeful that as well, five sets, as both teams go at it hammer and
:12:53. > :12:57.tongs to book their place in the semifinals. It's Poland in red and
:12:58. > :13:01.white, serving the USA in blue, receiving this from men's
:13:02. > :13:04.quarterfinal action from the Olympic Games. The USA who get off to the
:13:05. > :13:24.best start, they are on the board. That just goes to show right from
:13:25. > :13:30.the off that at this level it isn't serving, it's spiking. What was
:13:31. > :13:35.impressive to me was the one-handed set that set it up, it is athletic,
:13:36. > :13:43.its great wherewithal. It prolonged the play that could have resulted in
:13:44. > :13:49.overpass. Still looking for what they need to take the set. That is a
:13:50. > :13:56.huge throw-down. So impressive how quickly they can identify someone's
:13:57. > :14:03.arm swing slowdown or something tipped them off that says this is
:14:04. > :14:15.not coming. Each, and he delays just a bit and look for the SWAT.
:14:16. > :14:20.They do get it done, Russell put it down. Sense of relief from the USA.
:14:21. > :14:34.They take the first set 25-23. Away we go with the second set. The
:14:35. > :14:40.USA serving, Poland receiving, USA up 1-0 in this best of five set
:14:41. > :14:45.encounter. Despite the fact is gentle and had settled in well,
:14:46. > :14:54.struggling a little bit with his serving. -- despite the fact
:14:55. > :15:01.Christenson had settled in. Holt getting jabbed up in that one.
:15:02. > :15:18.He creates such a runway for himself on that serve. That was a good read.
:15:19. > :15:28.And a good pick-up. How did Holt find that one? Great dig. What a
:15:29. > :15:36.rally. And what a set by Christenson. But triple lock. This
:15:37. > :15:46.rally had everything. People falling over each other. Triple block.
:15:47. > :15:52.Deciding the outcome of that one Mika has put down. Advantage with
:15:53. > :15:57.the USA if they can side out. Brilliant. Did not try and bury into
:15:58. > :16:07.the three metre line. Very nice swing from Aaron Russell, who has
:16:08. > :16:19.emerged as one of the stars for the USA during this Olympics. That is a
:16:20. > :16:30.change of momentum right now. Really good pick-up. Kept alive long enough
:16:31. > :16:39.for Poland to end up in the net. Now USA. Good cover.
:16:40. > :16:51.As the ball was played off the block by Kubiak, it was still in the air.
:16:52. > :16:58.The question is whether he touched it all went under the centre line. A
:16:59. > :17:05.massive net touch. The ball is still in play. This should be the end of
:17:06. > :17:12.the set, and it is. USA lead 2-0. Wow! The most valuable player is the
:17:13. > :17:16.one that covers an Kubiak did that. He has great wherewithal, knowing
:17:17. > :17:22.what he wanted to do with the ball, but he was coming into fast.
:17:23. > :17:26.Incredible change. The Americans now find themselves in a position where
:17:27. > :17:33.they are playing freely and loose and comfortable, which can be very
:17:34. > :17:38.dangerous for Poland and it can also be dangerous for the Americans if
:17:39. > :17:42.they get too relaxed. It is still a matter of closing it out and
:17:43. > :17:43.finishing strong. Keeping that edge and knowing there is still work to
:17:44. > :18:01.be done. This rally anybody's for the taking.
:18:02. > :18:06.It has been given as in. It looks like it had gone long. Airline
:18:07. > :18:19.officials said it was out and as a result of that, a challenge to that
:18:20. > :18:23.decision. -- and the officials said. I really appreciate the challenge.
:18:24. > :18:36.It ensures a call is going to be right.
:18:37. > :18:50.As the rally true aren't you could seed Paola and been drawn more and
:18:51. > :18:54.more to the net. -- you could see Poland being drawn to the net.
:18:55. > :19:01.Everybody is copying this jump serve. Particularly it is coming to
:19:02. > :19:08.the fore in the women's game. Such an innovation.
:19:09. > :19:17.Basically it is different attack lines. The end line, the three metre
:19:18. > :19:20.line and the nets. The fact athletes can hit a similar ball from those
:19:21. > :19:27.distances is making this game evolved very quickly.
:19:28. > :19:32.Taking off from behind the three metre line still, in some instances,
:19:33. > :19:39.as the USA get a block, and keep their lead, becomes a frontcourt
:19:40. > :19:43.attack. A brilliant situation for the USA. They are two points away
:19:44. > :19:49.from going through to the semifinals.
:19:50. > :19:58.He overcooked that and now the USA have four match points.
:19:59. > :20:11.Anderson. The USA will have a swing for the game. Russell puts it away.
:20:12. > :20:19.It is all over. The USA win the set 25-20, the match 3-0. It is the USA
:20:20. > :20:30.going into the semifinals. They handle that so relieved. Sander was
:20:31. > :20:37.incredible. Poland did not know where it was going at any given
:20:38. > :20:44.time. Shoji doing a great job at the back court handling ball control.
:20:45. > :20:47.Team USA celebrating through the semifinals of the volleyball. And
:20:48. > :20:51.out in front in the medal table. Let's head to the ocean and see if
:20:52. > :20:57.the wind has picked up will stop Shirley.
:20:58. > :21:02.You can see it has been a better day for water-skiing and sailing. It has
:21:03. > :21:07.been so reliable until today and for Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark, they
:21:08. > :21:12.will have to wait another 24 hours to finish off the job and collect
:21:13. > :21:18.that gold medal. They are in good shape and good spirits. I spoke to
:21:19. > :21:23.them earlier and they are resigned to the fact of another sleepless
:21:24. > :21:27.night before they get the medal. Thanks for the update. I am sorry
:21:28. > :21:33.you will not see any racing. One of the big tickets here, because it
:21:34. > :21:38.goes long into the night, is basketball. Hugely popular and the
:21:39. > :21:44.reason many people come to the Olympic Park. USA favourites but
:21:45. > :21:49.Spain could challenge them. Basketball, five on the court at any
:21:50. > :21:53.one time with rolling substitutions. We will see Spain in action against
:21:54. > :22:03.France and join it in the fourth quarter of this quarterfinal.
:22:04. > :22:20.Rodriguez brings it down. Goes to the basket and lays it in.
:22:21. > :22:27.Look at the difference in the two point shooting. One of the big
:22:28. > :22:36.differences in the game. Tony Parker for three and he hits it. The
:22:37. > :22:40.superstar. Still showing he has got it. He will just be playing the last
:22:41. > :22:54.minutes of any Olympic basketball, you would think. Hard to see him
:22:55. > :23:00.coming back four years from now. The frustration is evident in his face.
:23:01. > :23:16.Down by 25. Tony Parker loses the ball. Fouled by Lauvergne in the
:23:17. > :23:24.back court. 2.48 o'clock. Spain at by 25.
:23:25. > :23:30.-- out. We can draw parallels between the first quarterfinal and
:23:31. > :23:35.this. The way Australia were able to attack early in the game and put
:23:36. > :23:42.their opponents under pressure. It appears Spain would come out and use
:23:43. > :23:44.the Australian blueprint. The foul given against Lauvergne was for
:23:45. > :24:03.being unsportsmanlike. That might be the last time... It
:24:04. > :24:19.is. He is out. That is two.
:24:20. > :24:34.When it rains it pours and it is raining 3-pointers as Alex Abrines
:24:35. > :24:45.comes in the game. He will be another one reporting to Oklahoma
:24:46. > :25:02.City Thunder. What a reject by Gomes.
:25:03. > :25:25.Up to de Colo. Already it is getting farcical. As this one counts down.
:25:26. > :25:30.As I said earlier, it does appear that Spain have used Australia's
:25:31. > :25:34.blueprint in the way they were able to dispose of Romania and do a
:25:35. > :25:38.similar job of France and they will advance to the semifinals.
:25:39. > :25:57.Tipped away. Pietrus came in a little while.
:25:58. > :26:07.Maybe you can question the rotation for France. Maybe they wanted to
:26:08. > :26:26.stay big. Kahudi is a small forward. They had
:26:27. > :26:29.a good first half. While they have not been able to match it in pace,
:26:30. > :26:53.it has shown on the scoreboard. The three in the corner by de Colo.
:26:54. > :26:59.This is what they needed earlier. That shooting. Because the three
:27:00. > :27:01.gave Spain a lead and once they had the lead, it was almost inexorable,
:27:02. > :27:22.the way they dominated the French. Who are they going to give it to.
:27:23. > :27:27.They give it to Hernangomez. The young man has had an excellent
:27:28. > :27:40.match. He is showing his coach he is a great back-up for Pau Gasol. Seven
:27:41. > :27:45.minutes on the court for him. 18 points. Nine of 12 shooting and six
:27:46. > :27:52.rebound is. You will take that from your back-up centre any day. --
:27:53. > :27:59.rebounds. 11.6 seconds on the clock and France now facing the reality of
:28:00. > :28:04.a quarterfinal exit from the 2016 Olympics. And Spain can celebrate.
:28:05. > :28:10.Because they are going to the semifinals, where they will meet
:28:11. > :28:11.either the USA or Argentina. Tony Parker's Olympic career is over, you
:28:12. > :28:39.would think. As we can stand the clock, it is
:28:40. > :28:44.Spain defeating France, 92 - 67. You have seen in the past half-hour
:28:45. > :28:48.basketball, volleyball, handball and football and if you want to get
:28:49. > :28:52.involved in those sports, head to the Get Inspired website way you can
:28:53. > :28:59.enter your postcode and it will tell you your nearest club or centre to
:29:00. > :29:07.get involved. Germany lead Nigeria 1-0 in the football semifinal for
:29:08. > :29:12.the right to meet Brazil in the final. It would be huge for them if
:29:13. > :29:18.they could win a first gold medal in football. We are heading to BBC One.
:29:19. > :29:23.We will show you live hockey, the semifinal and Great Britain will be
:29:24. > :29:28.up against New Zealand. Captain Kate Richardson-Walsh, Captain for 13
:29:29. > :29:32.years, her last international match in charge. A rematch of the bronze
:29:33. > :29:34.medal match from London which Great Britain won.
