Day 13 BBC Four: 19.00-22.00 Olympics

look so easy. My heart goes out to the British duo of Dylan Fletcher

and Alain Sign, they tried so hard this week, they are a really strong

unit, in that race they threw everything added. They will be

disappointed but I'm sure they will be back in Tokyo in four years. Next

we have the women's skiff. Four boats tied on points. Looking to win

that, the local sweetheart. It's Dan, taking over from Ore.

Talking about Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign, did they make the error

because they were pushing it so far? Many might be watching for the first

time and wondering why it happened. You joined us and four seconds later

they capsized. It's pretty windy, pretty gusty, they were putting

their boat in a situation they probably wouldn't have. They were

probably pushing the limits of boat handling in these really fast boats.

Just imagine how you will be feeling, your heart racing, making

errors you wouldn't necessarily normally make. That whole

combination, they knew what they had to do to medal here. It was a tall

order in the final race. We saw what it meant for the friends and family

on the side, you could see the anticipation and distress when they

saw what had happened. You talked about the boat craft from the Kiwi

pair, what have they got that makes them so much better than everybody

else in the field? I asked them that often and there was no real answer.

Just watching them, they work together very, very well, they

sailed together a long, long time, sailed together for team New Zealand

in the America's Cup as well. He's the brightest, shiniest talent, both

of them, they are always together. They are smooth in the boat, change

gears, when conditions change they change gears better than anyone

else. They have raised the bar in this class, unbeaten for four years

is quite the dominance, quite the show for everyone watching. Set up

the last race of the regatta, what have we got to look forward to?

You've done unbelievably well to stay in the boat, the sea has been

rocky in the Marina da Gloria. What have we got to look forward to? The

final race of the thinning, the 49 Fx, the women's equivalent of what

we've been watching. It's so difficult to sail, you never sit

down, standing up the entire time. This final has come down to the

wire, there are four boats all tied on points, it is who beats who.

Included in that four is Rio's sweetheart Grael, from a real

sailing dynasty, her father has five gold medals, so does her uncle,

their uncle has medals. The entire city will watch her and her crew,

Kunze, to see how they get on. The media Centre this morning was

packed, the locals have come to watch. The place will go mental if

they pull it off. You've sold it to us, surely, we'll be back later for

more sailing on BBC Four. Thank you, Shirley Robertson, we'll be back for

the final race of the regatta on BBC Four. Welcome back to Copacabana

beach, the triathlon was just here, this is where the Brownlee brothers

did the business, we'll talk about them a lot more over the course of

the next few hours. We might have them on BBC Four with us. Good

afternoon from Rio, thank you for being with us. Let's show what's

coming up on day 13 from Rio. The gold medal match in men's

hockey, Belgium have been the form team throughout while Argentina

stunned Germany in the semifinals. Neither team has ever won and

Olympic title. Boxing ahead as we get to the semifinal stages

including the Russian bantamweight at the heart of the judging

controversy. We saw it a few days ago. That shock win over Ireland's

Michael Conlon. The men's dream team may hog the limelight but the USA

women's basketball team have a better record, chasing a sixth

straight gold, we'll see them take on France in the semifinals. Here is

the timing for the next few hours. Next on BBC Four, golf. You can see

how it pans out over the next few hours.

Jade Jones will be in action in the quarterfinals of tae kwon do.

Followed by the women's ten metre platform final from eight featuring

Tonia Couch. At ninth the men's hockey final.

Let's show you the other channels at the moment. On BBC One I think they

are showing the Nicola Adams fight once again. She was in the

semifinals in the boxing ring, hoping to make it through to the

gold-medal match to defend the title she won four years ago. As per

usual, notes on the Red Button on the website and on the BBC sport

app. We've got some volleyball on the Red Button. We saw a brilliant

match between Italy and Iran. The Italian men managed to win in three

sets. As promised, we got our editor Matt in a headlock yesterday, we'll

bring you the best of Brazil against Argentina, late night here in Rio,

even later back there in the UK, from yesterday. In the next few

hours. All the normal bits and bobs, send your hashtags in. It is

absolutely packed, this is perhaps the busiest day we've had so far,

earlier on when the triathlon was taking this place was absolutely

heaving and a lot of British support down here as well for the Brownlees.

They might feature in our day 13 headlines.

It was gold and silver for one family from Great Britain. The

Yorkshire boys, the Brownlees dominated the event, Alistair

crossed the line first, he was able to stroll and meet his brother

Johnny, who took the silver. As we've been talking about, sailing,

Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark confirmed gold in the women's 470

classic. It was silver four years ago, they've done one better in Rio.

In the men's double kayak Liam Hughes and John Scofield had silver

snatched away on the line in 2012, reversal of fortune as they were the

team that squeezed home in second place. Ellis and Langridge, we

followed them on BBC Four, an amazing and unexpected bronze medal

in the men's pairs beating the fifth-ranked Chinese pair in the

bronze medal match, they will go home to Great Britain with a

precious metal from these games. -- precious metal. We showed you Nicola

Adams fighting, the replay on BBC One. Nicola Adams into the final.

Beating one of her great opponents. She will now fight for the gold

medal. All of that to come, those are the headlines. Plenty here for

you. We are right through the night. Thank you for being with us over the

course of these Olympic Games until 2pm. We like to get your reaction

not only to the sport you are watching, but the things we see

around us. We might get played out by life musicians again this

evening. And getting accused of making promises I can't keep. Can we

have a look around? Look how many people are down here, we've even

position some linchpins. We're trying to get the Copacabana binmen

to come as close as possible. One of these people has to be a musician,

we demand you come on BBC Four and play us out. And there is a pigeon.

It's all happening on Copacabana. Yesterday Charley Hull was having a

great time in the first round of the Gulf, three off the lead. Day two

has been taking place today. Day two of a four Day competition. This can

bring us up-to-date with what has happened on day two.

Charley Hull, going back to Stacy Lewis for a moment, 11 birdies. She

hadn't have a double bogey and the other bogey, she would have broken

60. She dropped three shots with double bogey and bogey on two holes.

And 11 birdies from the other 16 holes. Charley Hull, four under for

her round. This for a round of 66. Only one bogey on her card, it came

as early as the second hole. Good putt, good putt. She's nicely

positioned for the weekend, for the last two rounds. You must be pleased

with one shot off the lead. I felt I hit it pretty good. Started with

birdie, finished with birdie, I'm pretty happy. It must be funny to

see your name second on the leaderboard at the Olympic golf

tournament. It's pretty cool, because it's the Olympics it's

different seeing your name on the Olympic leaderboard, pretty cool. At

the end of the day I'm trying to treat it as another event, don't

want to make myself too nervous, I'm pretty happy with the way I'm

playing. This is for a round of 63. For the United States's Stacy Lewis.

What a round of golf that has been, 63, by far the low round of the day.

Congratulations, 11 birdies in a round, four in a row to finish, what

went right? The putter, I didn't know where I stood, how many birdies

I'd made, I was so focused on the next shot, trying to make birdies.

The scores are low, girls were going out and shooting good numbers, I was

trying to keep up. You the clubhouse lead, twice major winner, twice

world Player of the Year, where would an Olympic medal rank in your

achievements? It would be up there near the top for sure, winning this,

it's not a major championship, nothing like a regular event, it's

just the Olympics. This week has been so special so far, had so much

fun at other events hanging out with other athletes, I can't wait for the

rest of the week. That was Stacy Lewis, who leads the

way with Charley Hull in a great position just one off the lead after

five under today. A packed leaderboard, nine of the top ten

female golfers in the world are here in Rio to try and win the gold medal

this week. Inbee Park of South Korea is level with Charley Hull. Has a

couple of holes left to play, we can see her in action for 15 minutes,

because we'll go back to the Marina da Gloria to see the final race of

the sailing regatta shortly. Here is Inbee Park playing the 16th, this is

live golf on BBC Four. Described by Alan Wilkins and Brendan Telfer.

COMMENTATOR: Second thoughts. Two years running, the LPGA tour money

went up in 2012, 2013, the 2013 LPGA Player of the Year. She's been

there, got the shirt. Done it all. And still just 28 years of age.

Inbee Park. Looks a bit woody, didn't it? It's going to work

beautifully. Lexi Thompson could do with this

going in. To come home strongly. This would boost her chances for 16,

17, 18. Good putt, she has drained a putt at last. Back two under. Those

bogeys, look at that, birdies on 13 and 15. Been a bit of a struggle

today for Lexi Thompson. One over for the round. Three finishing holes

ahead of her. Having to come up and back again. It's the price you can

pay if you missed the 17th green. A very steep slope. Didn't need much

more. She's having two bad holes here. She missed her birdie on the

previous hole after literally driving the green. Playing her

third. She might have overcompensated here. OK. She'll

have that for a bogey. We all know how she feels. You're not kidding.

Second shot to 60 four Spain's Munoz. Tough shot from where she

was. Tremendous second shot in here from

Canada's Brook Henderson, this is for birdie to get to five under par.

The pink putter going well today. Just 18 years of age, Brooke

Henderson, 18 years of age. just stalking the green here, trying

to figure out how to get the ball into the hole, for two.

Yes, two cool shots she had to play if she wanted a birdie and she

played them both to perfection. She comes away with a birdie three.

This, if birdie, thank you. -- for birdie. On the 15th, Suzanne

Pettersen for par. Just rushed that putt a little, and

has to settle for a bogey now. The birdie, to get her to 6-under as

well. She has the three finishing holes up ahead of her. Oh, yes. Just

got there. It was clearly a very slick, fast, downhill putt. The

chance for birdie, putting a blight on the ball. Any more pace on that

and it probably would have stayed out. All gone in the cup and stayed

out, but she has gone to 6-under for three shots of the lead, so three of

the Americans are firing today, Stacy Lewis and Gerina Piller. This,

for a share of the lead, basically. It would take her to the top of the

leaderboard to join Stacy Lewis. She just seemed to

close the club face a little on the ball and so it slipped underneath

the hole, so that's disappointing for Inbee Park. It will feel like a

bogey that she has made here on this hole. Meanwhile, this is a bogey for

the day Anna Madsen. -- for the Dane. 18 years of age, Brooke

Henderson. You wonder who was born first, Brooke Henderson or Aditi

Ashok. She won three offence on the Canadian women's Tour while still an

amateur. -- free events. -- three events. Good grip down the shaft,

there. She has already obviously decided to take on the green. Get

up, get up. Oh, bad luck. It needed to roll the other way and it would

have been very close to the hole. See how she's looking down the

shaft. And look at that backswing. It is a long, long backswing, isn't

it? One of the biggest hurdles on the LPGA Tour. Trying to truncate

the hole, with a good swing to stop the ball from going too far past the

green, although it has finished up in the bunker. Lexi Thompson, coming

off that birdie. That looked like a four or 5-iron.

It did not look that much. She does hit the ball a long way. But that's

fine. She's in about the same position as the Spanish player was a

few minutes ago, Ninos. That is a kind of situation that Lexi Thompson

will find herself in in a. Here she is on 17, Ninos. She only talks to

her golf ball in English. She has said at the last few holes, sit,

sit, sit. Sit down. Suzanne Pettersen, the last to go in this

final group. Really doesn't like this. If it catches the downslope...

It is not as ugly as it sounded. She is going to have trouble stopping

the ball in front of the hole. As promised were going to leave the

golf. We will give you an update later on. You can watch it on the

Red Button or through the BBC website. You can find everything

that is on on the BBC sport app. Charley Hull is one of the lead held

by Stacy Lewis of the USA. They are at 9-under an 8-under respectively.

We're going to take you back to the sailing, as promised. We have

covered it for the last week or so. And we're now at the stage when it

is the final race of the regatta. This is the women's skiff, the 49er

FX. Ainsworth and Dobson of Great Britain in seventh with no chance of

a medal, but as surely can feel as in, there is some home interest and

the race for gold is going to be fascinating. Literally. It just

started a few minutes ago. It is a 4- way tie. And included in that is

the local sweethearts. The place is packed with Brazilian flags. As I am

excited, we will now join our commentary team. You join us halfway

up on the 49er FX class. New Zealand controlling the pack at the bottom

of your screen. Out in front by the narrowest of margins is the number

one pair, Martine Grael and Kahena

Kunze. As the wind drops they have to bend their legs and get their

body weight in a little bit. You can see the wind, the darker patch on

the water. When they get that gust of wind, they have to get up on

tiptoes and get their body weight out as much as possible. All of that

is critical to the boat speed. This will be tight at the top, with the

Brazilians and the Kiwis in good shape as we head up to the top of

the first leg. Brazil fighting for the lead. Grael and Kunze will be

aware, but New Zealand have to content with the French. Coming

together. It is going to be close. Germany

coming in as well. And New Zealand crossing over the balance of Brazil

and Denmark. Italy on the inside of them to the first cross and the lead

goes to New Zealand. At the top of the course, Italy grounding in first

place, New Zealand in second place, Brazil coming in with the

Netherlands and Germany, and that speed for the world number one pair

means that they were all clean over the top of the pack. On board now

with Germany. And Great Britain now round the top of the course,

Charlotte Dobson and Sophie Ainsworth trying to get themselves

into fifth place overall, medal hopes sadly not a possibility in

this final race, however, they have a chance to make an impact on the

overall scoreboard. In second place, Alex Maloney and Molly Meech behind

the Italians, and in front of them, the world number one pair, Grael and

Kunze, sailing into the beach. And Molly Meech, her brother has already

won upon is medal in the laser class. The Brazilians have elected

to follow them. They have elected to just try and stay in touch, not to

take too much risk. The Danes have split out towards the top of your

screen. These are all contenders. It is newbies who on the water for the

Gold Medal. Italy in the lead with New Zealand very close behind. Watch

the Brazilians. Spain, Brazil, Denmark and New Zealand all coming

into this race, pretty much joint un-points. The positions as they

crossed the finish line will decide gold, silver and bronze. New Zealand

in second. Only a few boat lengths off the race leader of Italy at the

moment. The Italians in sixth place overall with no opportunity to move

inside the top four. Thing is looking good for the Kiwis right

now. They are in second place. The Italians don't matter too much. That

is a course change, the- means that it is a reduction in course length

because of a change in the wind. Brazil in fourth, trying to get back

in the lead, trying to control New Zealand, their main rival for the

Gold Medal. And at the bottom of the course, Italy, the world number

seven pair, Francesca Clapcich and Giulia Conti.

But Maloney and Molly Meech electing to split. Just on the left-hand side

of your picture Brazil coming in ahead of the Danish pair. And Brazil

going for the gybe. Denmark just happen to go wide. Just being forced

to give room to the team from the Netherlands. Brands managing to get

clear ahead of Spain. -- France. Now Germany rounding behind Spain.

Dobson and Ainsworth of Britain going around the bottom of the

course. It is very tight, and the second capsize that we have seen on

the waters here. Now it is the British women, Charlotte Dobson and

so the Ainsworth capsizing at the bottom of the course. That would

just leave them with more work to do for the next two lapse. What on

earth is going on at the bottom gate? There must be differences in

wind strength. It looked like a simple rounding, but maybe a gust of

wind saw them toppling over. These are very powered up Bosz. They are

back up now. They need to get moving. I don't think they hit the

mark. They have got to just shoot on and catch up with the back of the

fleet. France in the group heading towards the beach. In the lead at

the moment it is the New Zealand pair, which means that Alex Maloney

and Molly Meech RND Gold Medal position as it stands, but they have

a fight on their hands. Italy on top of them, but it is Spain, Brazil and

Denmark that they need to watch. The Brazilians look very lifted up,

sailing close to the wind, the New Zealanders in the middle of the

screen are desperately trying to get across to cover them. Covering is

when you man mark your opposition and get close to them, between them

and the mark you are aiming for, they are looking to get in the

position, that is when they will have them under control. When spread

out over the sea there is plenty of opportunity for gains and losses.

Italy take the lead on the way to the top of the course. However, that

is no concern to the New Zealand pair. The world number three, Alex

Moloney, and Molly need, head of their rivals. They are in the gold

medal position. Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze have silver, they only

need to close down on the New Zealanders. Gold will be theirs.

This next cross could be crucial. We saw in the race earlier that the

cross to the top of the course, you can get your spinnaker up and get

away, then... We were looking at a cross but we can see the New

Zealanders have attached to the right-hand side so we will have to

wait longer to see how it plays out. 150 metres to go for the top of the

course, Italy on the right-hand side of your screen is reaching delay

line, the point they want to tack over, and make their way to that

mark. It's not efficient to keep sailing out that way. They are

pushing it right to the limit here at the moment so maybe a little bit

of current on the course, just meaning it's good to sail right to

the limit. Now the Italian pair attacking over. Underneath them, New

Zealand coming up in second place. We can see the New Zealanders and

Brazilians are split, this is going to be crucial when they come back

together. The New Zealanders tack, that is delay line, the point at

which they can set a direct line to the windward mark. Conti and bees

from Italy, the world number seven pair, leading the final race in the

women's high-performance class, safely around the top mark. Behind

them, the Battle for gold medal between New Zealand and Brazil is

going the way of Alex Moloney and Molly Meech from New Zealand. They

are around in second place. Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze from Brazil a

very slow tack, putting them third at the moment. Next to come round

will be the French. The big question is, who is going to take that bronze

medal position as it stands? Denmark coming in from the top of your

screen, a very tight tack, slightly slow to back away, the helm falling

onto her knees, unable to get on the bear away, this is the battle

between bronze. Denmark and Spain, Denmark in the lead, but they've

lost the advantage. Just on top of Denmark as we are looking on board

is the Spanish pair, Denmark just managing to get their spinnaker up

and get clear away. It's a big test of fitness at this stage, three

laps, normally they only do two. Three today, it'll be a really big

test of how well they are physically prepared, the mistakes start to

creep in. In the lead, still the Italians, Conti and Clapcich in the

lead. New Zealand second, Brazil third. It's rapidly developing into

a match race between New Zealand and the Brazilians, the Brazilians did a

nice spinnaker set, setting their spinnaker and getting down inside

the New Zealanders. The New Zealanders have jibed halfway down

the run, you can see on the right of your screens. There is a split,

Brazilians on the left, then they have two jibed and judge delay line.

-- judge the low line. Italy jibing to make their way to the bottom.

It's not a perfect jibe, but they have enough of a lead that it

doesn't hurt them at the moment. New Zealand behind in the gold medal

position at the moment. At the bottom of the course Italy in the

lead but on the right-hand side of the picture, Brazil and New Zealand

coming together. Italy with a less than perfect grounding at the

bottom, leading the medal race, but New Zealand crosses the bow of the

world number one pair from Brazil, this is the battle for the gold

medal and Alex Maloney and Molly Meech from New Zealand are currently

on top. New Zealand round the bottom, no surprise to see the

Brazilian pair splitting, making their way onto the other side of the

course hoping for a different injuries. The Brazilians are playing

this absolutely right, keeping pressure on the New Zealanders,

don't take any huge risks. Sailing very nicely, very good boat

handling, just keep the pressure on. At the bottom of the course now,

France ahead of Denmark, who heads in the fight for the gold medal as

well. -- who is in the fight. Denmark going round the of Germany,

their main rival, nearest bow to them. Spain splitting and going

around the other side of the course. Denmark and Spain still fixed for

the bronze medal battle right to the line. The Netherlands next to go

around. This is what we were talking about earlier, this is the

opportunity for Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze from Brazil to win the

gold medal for the home crowd, everybody's out here on the beach to

cheer them across the line. It could be gold, could be silver, it may be

bronze or they might slip off the podium, we'll have to wait right

till the finish line to see. Great Britain coming down to the bottom of

the course just behind the United States. They had a disappointing

moment on the first lap where they capsized at the bottom, now having

to play catch-up. In third place at the moment, New Zealand. The

Brazilians carried all the way out of the left-hand side, all the way

to the top of your screen. The New Zealanders have had to put a couple

of tax in already, complete difference of opinion. Martine Grael

grew up sailing in these waters, she grew up on the other side of the

bay, what must be going through her head right now? So close to a medal,

so close to a gold medal in her hometown. We're halfway up, the

final up wins leg well inside the last lap for the medal race here in

the women's high-performance 49 Fx. New Zealand gold medal position.

Brazil looking at silver medal if they cannot close down the distance

with Alex Maloney and Molly Meech. Bronze going the way of Denmark but

Spain in tight pursuit. We talked about the effect of Sugarloaf

Mountain and what it does to the wind. Right now they will be saying

prayers, the wind coming around Sugarloaf Mountain is going to

favour the Brazilian boat, they are on the left-hand side, no more

options for them. New Zealanders out on the right-hand side, here at the

bottom of your screen. Who is going to be first at the cross at the top

mark? 200 metres to go before these boats around the top for the last

time. The final race for the 49er FX and the final race for sailing at

Rio 2016. A four way battle between Brazil, New Zealand, Spain and

Denmark. It'll come down to this final leg. Shirley Robinson is

watching all the action. This will come down right to the finish.

The place is packed with media and photographers, twice as many as

we've seen in any other race, just trying to look towards

Sugarloaf to see who is going to come out on top. Is Brazil's

sweetheart going to win the gold medal? It's very exciting. Thank

you, surely. Nearing the top of the course, Brazil looking very strong.

Ian was saying the left-hand side could pay for them in the closing

stages and it looks like it has done just that. Martine Grael and Kahena

Kunze take the lead going into the final leg. Alex Maloney and Molly

Meech of New Zealand are going to have a lot of work to do. A big

moment for Brazilian fans. They are in first place, they are in gold

medal position. Alex Maloney and Molly Meech from New Zealand are in

silver unless they can close down on the Brazilians. The Brazilians very

quick to jibed once they saw the Kiwi attack, the Brazilians straight

white jibed to port, they don't want to give them an inch. This is the

gold medal moment, down the run, in her hometown, this will be an

extraordinary story should they pull this off. At the moment gold is with

Brazil, silver with New Zealand, then bronzes with Denmark. This is

the battle at the front of the field, New Zealand still has a

chance, they are sailing taped to the beach, Brazil have positioned

themselves leeward, underneath the New Zealand pair. Brazil going for

the jibe right in the face of Alex Maloney and Molly Meech from New

Zealand. They look like calmness personified, I can't believe that is

how they feel, this is a crucial moment, if they lay down to the

finish line, the gold medal should go to Brazil. If they have to make

another jibe they will have two jibe on to port tack and the Kiwis will

be on star but tack. The advantages with the Brazilian pair, but it's

diminishing all the time, New Zealand finding some very nice

breeze, now we're seeing 20 minutes the lead. New Zealand working hard

to try and get through the left-hand side of Brazil. We are closing down

to the finish line, it will be straight across the finish, no more

marks, no more terms, it is a drag race into the finish. New Zealand

sailing a little high, Brazil finding the breeze. The big question

is, are they pointing at the finishing line or have they got

another jibe to do? It's going to be very close here, Brazil in the lead

trying to work their way down. New Zealand looked like they will come

across the finish line with no more terms, Brazil looking better and

better by the second. Brazil still in the lead, the gold medal about to

go to the world number one pair, Brazil, Martine Grael and Kahena

Kunze bear the 49er FX away, they are barely crossing the finish line,

it'll be a jibe right on the finish line. And its gold for Brazil,

coming down to the final bow length. A huge moment aboard the Brazilian

boat. The 49er FX capsizes as Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze hug

each other and fall into the water. The silver medal will go to Alex

Maloney and Molly Meech from New Zealand, and the bronzes with Hansen

and Salskov-Iversen from Denmark. The last race of the real Olympics,

in the 49er FX, and it was the closest, coming down to the line. It

was an extraordinary performance, they did everything right, they were

behind, they didn't panic, they kept the pressure run, they were fast,

kept the manoeuvres down. When they got in front they covered their

nearest rivals. Maybe they a fraction too early, they were high

on lay line, had to slow down right at the end. It doesn't matter any

more, they got the jibe in, used the inside of the final finishing line,

and they are Olympic champions in their own back garden. You can see

what it means to them, and you can hear what it means to the spectators

on the shore. This is a big moment here for Brazil. Shirley Robinson is

on the water. The final event of the sailing

venue, a hometown victory, what a race.

Amazing scenes where watching on the sides of the Marina da Gloria. What

a finish to that race. You said the press office was packed. The press

centre full of people. We've seen on the banks so many people there. The

celebrations, I don't know if you can see them, delighted by what's

happened. Another, a fourth gold medal for the host nation. I could

hear it, never mind see it, you can hear it, Brazilian mayhem. Behind

me, banks of photographers. The girls, the heroes, Martine Grael and

Kahena Kunze... Whoa... Right in the middle of it. They won on the final

leg of the very final race, nerves of steel. What a performance from

these two. She today she will be crowned the Queen

of Rio. People may be watching a race of this sort for the first time

in the UK tonight, how rare is it for a race of that magnitude to come

down to a margin like that? Very bad, they did 12 races before they

got to this race today four boats came in on equal points, it was who

beats who on this tiny Stadium course, right under Sugarloaf.

Anything could have happened. Can you imagine how they felt? The

pressure, the nerves. Not for them. They held their nerve to the bitter

end. Really impressive from the young Brazilians. A word about the

British crew, Sophie Ainsworth and Charlotte Dobson, as we saw in the

penultimate race, we can see them approaching the finish now, not the

race they would have wanted. Not the competition they would have wanted.

I feel for them, they put together a very strong series. They did well,

just towards the end it didn't quite go their way. In the medal race,

partly nerves, first Olympic Games. Partly, it was ridiculously tricky.

Paphos dropping of Sugarloaf. They'll be disappointed to finish

their Olympic Games like that but I'm sure they'll be back. It's all

kicking off. You get in there, we will let you

find your corner. What a moment that was for Brazil. The host nation's

fourth gold medal. Later gold in the judo and in the pole vault. If you

haven't seen that have a look on the iPlayer. If you stayed up for that,

it was well worth watching. And finally and maybe that will inspire

another one. We have had Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze winning in

the sailing regatta. Earlier, we showed you some of the golf, the

final few walls of the second round. Charley Hull of Team GB is a good

position. She had finished around at eight under par, the leaders were at

nine under, and one of those was Inbee of South Korea. This was a

birdie putt on the 17th from six feet. She was level at this stage

with Charley Hull at eight under. This Pejoine leader Stacy Lewis at

nine under par, and of course she wrote that in. She very rarely shows

any emotion, Inbee Park. We can join it live at the 18th to see if she

can finish off in style as well. We will pick up with Alan Wilkins and

Brendan Telfer to see how Inbee Park can finish the golf. She is the

joint leader at the moment in the second round at nine under par.

This is for a round of 69. Good-looking putt. That is a super

putt to finish for Munoz of Spain. That is a 69. And she has followed

that up with a first-round 68. She is 5-under for the Championship. A

kiss from her partner. Now, this for the outright lead with

the final stroke of her second round. Yes, the birdie to finish

with, getting her to 10-under for the card, and the outright lead in

the women's Olympic golf at the halfway stage. The greens bobbling a

little bit now, late in the day. She just got enough of the ball over the

hole to make four. Four consecutive rounds of 66. Hall of Famer Inbee

Park at 10-under from Stacy Lewis and then Charley Hull of Great

Britain at eight. That is a good up and down from the American. She

could have dropped a couple of shots on those last holes, but she didn't

drop any. A smile on her face because she is in the mix for sure,

four shots behind Inbee Park, the leader. 69, today, from the

American. Some wonderful golf again, today, the second day. It appears

that Inbee Park and Stacy Lewis will be playing together tomorrow. If

they continue to play in threes, which I would imagine they would, it

will be Charley Hull with them, by the look of it.

It is a little bit cloudy in Rio today. The temperature is dropping

at this time of day, and there's the golf leaderboard for you. Inbee Park

finishing with a birdie, birdie and has a 1-shot lead going into the

third round tomorrow. She is 10-under, one ahead of Stacy Lewis.

And a 5-under round for Charley Hull, taking her 28-under, so she

will be amongst the leaders tomorrow in that third round, two of the lead

from Inbee Park. There are some still out on the course. We will

bring you updates if there's any impact on the leaderboard. And we

will try to bring you as much from Charley Hull tomorrow in the third

round as we possibly can. The fourth round will be on Saturday. We will

show you plenty of that on BBC Four. If Charley Hull is going for a medal

that will be fantastic when you consider Justin Rose winning the

Gold Medal, and embracing the Olympics from the start. He embraced

the Olympics from the moment was announced that golf would be in the

Olympics. He came here, he went to as much as you possibly could,

really enjoyed himself and entered into the Olympic spirit, then he

produced the goods with the Olympic gold. Brazil are enjoying themselves

as well, because this is down at the banks of the Marina da Gloria, to

the other side of the Sugarloaf from where we are. Those are the ones

with the life jackets on, the Gold Medal winners. Everyone else, no

idea. Friends, family members, random s, they are all enjoying

themselves. We have heard lots about the quality of the water in

Guanabara Bay, but I am not sure that they are very concerned. They

are celebrating the fourth Gold Medal of the games for Brazil. And a

bit of synchronised swimming, as well! We might bring you some of

that little bit later on. It is beautiful to see, isn't it? Some

people are pointing out that when I hold my microphone like this it

looks like I have got awful sweat patches on my shirt, but I am

actually sweat free. That is an entirely different thing. Shall we

leave that there are? Let's show you some boxing. Keep sending in your

tweets. We have some men's middleweight boxing that took place

earlier on today. Some of the pronunciations of the names in the

boxing are magnificent. This is Rodriguez of Mexico facing an

opponent from Uzbekistan. Thankfully, I am not calling this

one, Richie Woodall is. We're in the first round of the seven if I

kilogram heavyweight semifinal. The boxers competing to determine who

goes through to face the gold-medal bout. The man in the red is

Rodriguez, ranked 15th in the world, and his opponent in blue, two years

younger, the 20-year-old, incredibly talented number two seed, third

ranked boxer in the world, and that is the man in blue has lovely

skills. Excellent stuff. It will be a test for him. If Rodriguez stays

on the front foot, and that is the style of the Mexican, then if he can

put this boxer from Uzbekistan under pressure, he might get through with

some better shots. But make no mistake, his opponent is a talent.

He really is. It is worth keeping an eye on Rodriguez. He has had

repeated trouble with his mouth guard at this point in the contest.

It came out in his opening round. Then it came up repeatedly, three

times, in his contest at the quarterfinal stage. So much so, that

he was docked a point for that repeated interaction of the rules.

We don't know if it has been replaced or refitted. He was

sporting black mouthpiece before, looks like he has a more

conventional one in now, and maybe that will redress the problem. That

has been something of a spurt of Rodriguez in the tournament so far.

It is important that he sustains the pressure. He prefers to box at pace.

It could work from -- work for him here, he has certainly troubled him.

That is why you have got to be fast on the feet coming forward, it is

the pressure. Cries of "Mexico, Mexico", trying to encourage

Rodriguez. I shot below the belt when we've -- when the referee

called stop. He has not made a big deal out of it, Melikuziev, but a

clear breach of the rules by the man in red. He was close to use fetching

below the belt with his punches once again. And then an exchange after

the bell, my goodness. Towards the end of the round, the movement from

Melikuziev was excellent. Moving around his opponent rather than back

and to the side. To the side and Iran, if you like, making his

opponent miss. Plenty of Mexicans in the Crown. Their man is in against a

quality operator here. Lovely shot from Melikuziev. Tremendous stuff.

Lovely left hand, there, from the man in blue. No question. Let's have

a look at the scores. All with the boxer from Uzbekistan, and rightly

so. We're into the second round of this

75 kilograms semifinal. The boxer in red has completed the opening round

unanimously. Already guaranteed at least Olympic bronze, of course. He

will be facing his compatriot, Micron, from Mexico City. He is

facing a very accomplished 20-year-old, and he demonstrated all

of his talents in a brilliant quarterfinal win. Boxing on the

front foot, boxing on the back foot, wonderful full movement and punch

picking supreme, like that left hand there, from Melikuziev. Rodriguez

too slow on his feet. Melikuziev can sense the attacks that are coming

his way. He steps back and then brings his opponent on to some

left-hand work. He moves around his opponent. He is always centre of the

ring, Melikuziev. It is clever boxing. Rodriguez has got to sustain

the pressure a bit more. He is not doing it, the man in red. Good use

of the feet once again to change the angle from Melikuziev. Rodriguez not

able to get his punches off here. The adjustment of the feet, there.

He just drifts and slips to his right. Rodriguez has got to start

bringing the left hook into play. Look how he's controlling the pace,

the man in blue, and controlling the ring space, that is more important.

And look at that. Rodriguez becoming frustrated and waving his man in

with his wrists, as if to say, come on, fight me! Melikuziev operating

on his own terms. Look at that foray counter. From Melikuziev, terrific

punch picking. And Rodriguez, he is in a difficult position. If he

cannot close the gap, if Melikuziev LX to hold his feet momentarily,

that might bring Rodriguez into it, invariably, he's coming out second

best. He's very good at that. Hitting the target and then moving

around. He adjusts his feet and then when Rodriguez comes forward, he

brings him onto shots, adjusts speed, then throwing the left hand.

Absolutely wonderful from Melikuziev. Making his man mess,

then making him pay with accurate counters. Terrific display. And the

Mexican support, they need their man to do something different, because

he's been comprehensively outboxed at this semifinal stage of the 75

kilograms tournament. Rodrigues be feeling the pace a bit

but he is bamboozled here by Melikuziev. Brings him on the left

hand is like that, always moving around his opponent in centre ring

but that is fantastic timing, adjusts his feet, brings him onto

the left hand. Excellent work from Melich Qiu Ziao -- Melikuziev.

Into the third and final round of this 75 kilograms middleweight

semifinal. Lopez of Cuba awaits the winner of this contest and if the

first two rounds, the pattern of them, is repeated here, it will be

the man in blue who is also cruising through to the final because look at

the man who was making his man miss. Credit to Rodriguez. Now

demonstrating the urgency we anticipated from him from the

opening bout. But it has been a long, hard tournament for Rodriguez.

Sensing his down, he is coming on strong, trying to close the distance

and land that finishing shot. Melikuziev has to make sure he would

doesn't walk onto a shot in. It is increased tempo from the man in red

so better work from Rodriguez, but the lad looks tired, that is his

main problem. He has to throw the left duck, when Melikuziev moves

around to the right, that is when Rodriguez has to throw the left

hook. But time is running out now. But the Mexican is a tough kid. He

certainly is, game as they come. He has lost on a couple of occasions to

Antony Fowler, representing the British Lion hearts, but he doesn't

stop coming. He bundles Melikuziev back to the ropes. He beats his

chest, demonstrating Mack is no, but not before walking into a straight

left hook. -- demonstrating that she is no... Just a frustrated figure is

the man in red because look at that, made the mess, Milik Lucy Evans is

around the other side and picking him off. Wonderful stuff from the

reigning youth Olympic champion, the world youth champion, on the verge

of putting his place in the Olympic gold medal bout in his first

appearance of the Olympic Games. First tournament of the Olympic

Games and what a transition he has made from the youth ranks through to

the senior ranks. This sport is about hitting your opponent and not

getting hit, this fella does it very well indeed. His defensive work is

as impressive as the punches that he throws. His movement is exceptional.

His ring craft very good indeed. It is not as if... You think he is

quite easy to hit with those low guards, his movement takes him out

of trouble. He is tiring a little bit now but he has done all his

better work. Rodrigues Duque gets through the cheeky right. --

Rodriguez gets through the cheeky right hand.

The tournament organisers getting things right in terms of feeding

because that will be about between the tournament number one and two

seeds, a rematch from the World Championship bout last year.

I said to watch out for him because it shows you how clever he is. His

timing is very good. Here he just nods his head saying, yes you caught

me with Atwal but I think I have on this one.

Bektemir Melikuziev. His fans and compatriots are absolutely

delighted. This steps up a rematch on the World Championship final from

next year because awaiting the gold medal bout is the reigning world

champion, the number one ranked boxer in the world, the tournament

number one seed, Lopez. It promises to be an absolute thriller.

If you weren't listening, don't worry, we will show you that other

semifinal between Lopez and the boxer from Azerbaijan in a few

minutes. We want to take you back to the sailing because Brazil have won

their fourth gold medal of the Games. Look at this for celebration

is. They were in the water altogether and they have lifted the

boat, I don't know how much it weighs but it won't be liked. 20 or

so fans, friends, family members Anthony said, lifting them onto the

beach. That might be, I don't know if you have any suggestions on

social media, most bizarre celebration or most impressive?

Herculean strength from the Brazilians! They are really enjoying

themselves. That is their fourth gold of the games and everyone has

been celebrated in a different way. Rafaela Silva in the judo with that

incredible story, grew up in a novella, was taught by an English

judo teacher. She ends up getting gold in a home game. -- grew up in a

favela. There was an amazing pole vault competition in the athletics

arena. Maybe three nights ago where Thiago Braas just did the business

when he really needed to. But the poll up to just over six metres,

jumped it and I know there was a bit of concern about the French athlete

and no one wants to see that, but you cannot take away from the skills

and dedication of Thiago Braz da Silva we saw the boxing as well.

Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze have produced a fourth gold medal for

Brazil. While we are doing the microphone armpit issue, there was a

guy in the background who looked like a mix between David Hasselhoff

and Mister bean! Why did no one tell me?! The phone exploded when people

spot something you like behind me so keep those coming in. Let's do the

headlines for you on day 13 of these games.

It was out here on Copacabana. The gold and silver for the Brownlee

brothers. Alasdair Gray the line first and as he picked up the gold,

he welcomed his brother Jonny for the silver. We have seen a lot of

sailing so far this morning. Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark confirmed

their gold in the women's race. They got silver four years ago. We might

be speaking to them later on. In the canoe sprint, the men's kayak

double, Liam Heath and Jon Schofield had silver snatched away four years

ago. A reversal of fortune this time around, a tiny fraction separated

second to fifth and they managed to come behind the Spanish pair and

take a silver home from these Games. Some brilliant as well from the

badminton men's doubles pairing of Ellis and language. An unexpected

and impressive bronze medal in the men's pairs, beating the fifth

ranked Chinese pair. Nicola Adams is into the gold medal match in the

boxing. A bit of a scare in her bout today but the defending champion of

four years ago looking good and extremely confident as well in her

interview afterwards with John Inverdale. And Jade Jones again, a

defending champion, so many of them have done well at these Games. She

is through to the semifinals of the taekwondo. Let's have a look at your

timetable for tonight. This is how it will pan out.

None of this is guaranteed and we like to bring you some sailing

action. We will hopefully show you the first

half of the hockey from 9pm your time. The men's final between

Belgium and Argentina. Neither of those countries have ever won

Olympic gold so that'll change this evening.

So we have hockey taking on taekwondo. Combine those together

and you would get Hockwondo! Confirmation of what is happening

with Tonia Couch on BBC One right now. China, the favourite right now

as ever. Spain, one of the favourites to get to the latter

stages in basketball. We will bring you the reigning champions team USA,

the Americans, later on. Let's have a look at some of the stuff you are

standing through. Martin has said, my nephew would

like to be a bin man on Copacabana. The guys we have seen picking up the

beans on Copacabana beach, they are incredibly friendly.

Where is this fella from? It is a very busy beach today. They do a

fantastic job, Copacab-binmen. Amy says, really fascinated to know

who's that guy was, looked a bit like Mister bean. He has gone now so

I'm afraid we can't sort that out. Jim says, hello, are you showing in

the synchronised swimming tonight? The # he is using is asking for a

friend. We will show you some synchronised swimming later on. No

confirmation as yet. We're with you until 2am so at some stage, you will

have to stick with us the whole way through. And Ross says, he feels we

have missed the most obvious hashtag through these Games. We have had

Copacabanter, Copacab-binmen, what was the other one? Copcab-beachcomb.

We have a saying down here, it is no Anthony Worrall Thompson, no party.

There is a man whose circuit trains here every night and he looks just

like him. It is normally about a tip PM our time. There are people right

now planning things around the appearance of Anthony Worrall

Thompson. He claims his name is Raphael and he doesn't speak any

English. Maybe we will get the real Anthony Worrall Thompson on the

phone to confirm or deny. Ross says, why haven't you use the hashtag

Copacab - Anthony Worrall Thompson. I'm a bit annoyed we haven't thought

of that ourselves. We will bring you some live bin man action soon but

let's get back to some boxing now because we promised you the second

semifinal in the men's middleweight category. We also saw one guy go

through. He will have to take on a fighter from Azerbaijan or Lopez.

If you are just joining us on BBC Four, here is some boxing you do not

know the outcome of, which happened earlier in Brazil. Richie Woodhall

and Ronald McIntosh. We are under way. The gold medal

bout in the 81 kilograms light heavyweight division between boxers

who have faced off three times before. The man in red, operating

out of the orthodox town is the reigning three-time World

Championship gold-medallists. The number one ranked boxer. His

opponent 27 years of age. With the tournament number two seed, ranked

number two in the world. Coming in as the reigning Olympic

silver-medallist and a two-time World Championship silver-medallist

and both of those silver medals came because he was beaten by the man in

red in that global tournament. It will be crucial for La Cruz to

control the pace. What can the Niyazymbetov do? He has

got to raise his game. A man difficult to pin down so you have to

raise the tempo, go through the gears and put the Cuban under more

pressure. That right hand from La Cruz was a beauty. A mistake from

either boxer will be capitalised on instantly. Once again, the

concentration absolute. Both of them operating. It becomes a classic case

of your opponent having to change tax it -- tactics. Niyazymbetov,

that is not too bad. This is what La Cruz likes to do. Niyazymbetov has

to be quicker with the feet. The legs getting tangled between the

southpaw and the orthodox boxer. Thankfully, no injuries sustained.

La Cruz expert at long-range boxing, bringing his opponent onto the

punches. They did counterpuncher. He can mix it up, La Cruz, and

occasionally that is where he comes undone because he does not keep

their hands up at all. But look at him here, comfortable, on the ropes

even. Difficult to land a shot on him. Terrific movement demonstrated

by Julio Cesar La Cruz. Niyazymbetov in the closing 20 seconds was

reduced to chasing shadows, such was the wonderful fleetfooted manoeuvres

demonstrated by this man. Niyazymbetov missing the target,

coming forward. La Cruz finding the space and time again. Working on the

back foot. In and out with that right hand. Niyazymbetov again walks

onto that shot there. Let's look at the scores. Across the board, the

Cuban gets it. He is in control. Into the second round. They contest

between men who have been pretty much the best light heavyweight

boxers in the world in Olympic style boxing for the last five years but

neither of them have an Olympic gold medal to show for it.

Eliminated at the quarterfinal stage by the Brazilian. The pace is

suiting La Cruz down to the ground. If you remember Niyazymbetov in the

semifinal against Great Britain's Joshua Buatsi, he demonstrated lofty

skills on the back foot because he is a back foot counterpuncher, but

here he has to change tactics. He has got to be able to go on the

front foot. Niyazymbetov is probably being forced into a way of boxing he

is not used to because he normally sits back himself. La Cruz has not

come away with any Olympic medal. Niyazymbetov, a silver. Having made

the gold medal bout, he was declared the loser on count back, which went

against him. Absolutely nothing in it. He does not have an Olympic gold

medal to show for it, so that is his motivation to come out on top in his

fourth encounter with La Cruz. But he has yet to have his hand raised

in this particular rivalry. It is not good for Niyazymbetov. He is not

boxing the way he should, or should I say at the right tempo. He is too

slow. He has to do something different. It is as if he is

hypnotised by the man. That is what La Cruz does, he seems to slow down

the pace, no matter what the style of the opponent, he has the ability

to slow it down and box to his tempo, which is why he is a talented

and successful boxer. A good right hand from La Cruz. A left hand came

almost at the same time from Niyazymbetov, not too far away. La

Cruz demonstrating that wonderful ability to navigate the boxing ring

and avoid punches coming his way. It is almost as if he is blessed with

ESP, the manner he can see punches, lay back at the waist and adjust his

feet and make the man missed by a matter of millimetres sometimes. A

good right hand to the body from La Cruz.

Who can produce quality in the ten seconds?

La Cruz pulls the trigger first and what a counter left-hander! La Cruz

at his best, making the man miss and while the punch is still coming back

after falling short he finds himself clipped on the chin with a cheeky

little shocked. This fella is struggling with the

distance and range and the movement of his opponent. His feet are a

little bit too slow and he is following his opponent rather than

cutting off the ring space. He is a maestro of a mover, La Cruz. Very

talented, hands very low. Caught with a shot and another one from

Niyazymbetov, so a little bit better. Just fell short with that

shot. We can look at the scores and again, across the board.

Niyazymbetov has to produce a knockout shot against a moving

opponent. That is difficult. Into the third and final round and

Niyazymbetov, the second-ranked boxer in the world is trailing in

this contest between two of the most skilful operators at 81 kilograms.

As is the case with their previous three encounters, it is the man in

red who has dictated the terms and tempo on which this bout has been

contested. Niyazymbetov cannot let any effective leather go and stop

this man from moving. Niyazymbetov these the punch of a lifetime if he

hopes to emulate the accomplishment in 1996 and claim light heavyweight

gold for Kazakhstan. He was so desperate for Olympic

gold. At this tempo, he does not look -- it does not look as if it is

going to happen. Needing a knockout now. There has not been a real tempo

change for Niyazymbetov. He is still waiting far too long. He is not used

to boxing on the front, the man in blue. Losing the first round meant

he had to change something around. He has not done it. He kept at the

same tempo, which has suited La Cruz. This has been there both the

division, light heavyweight, for Cuba. La Cruz is cruising to victory

here. It will be a special victory for him, to be the first Cuban to

win a gold medal in this division if he can get through these last

seconds. Not just for him, but the entire Caribbean island and more

importantly, he will complete Cuban success in every weight division.

They have won Olympic gold in every other weight class except light

heavyweight. They have not had a medal in this division since 1980.

That drought is coming to an end. In these closing seconds, La Cruz is

about to join the ranks of his illustrious compatriots by being

crowned as an Olympic champion. Up on his toes. Enjoying his work and

treating us to the balletic grace he has used to such terrific affect to

dominate the World Championship the last five years and now on the

Olympic stage, the man is reducing some salsa on the canvas of the

boxing ring in act knowledge meant the majestic display that will see

him crowned as Olympic light heavyweight champion. Cuba's first

ever light heavyweight champion in the Olympic programme. He was once

again almost impossible to tag Tiendalli. Tremendous performance

from La Cruz. You have to admire it. There was some booing at the end but

the man is so skilful. He has reflex is and reactions that have to be

second to none. La Cruz is a wonderful boxer and he has had a

tremendous performance and tremendous tournament.

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by unanimous decision and Olympic

champion... In the red corner...

Julio Cesar La Cruz. Julio Cesar La Cruz Is the Olympic champion. The

Golden grin beaming from ear to ear stop the three-time World

Championship gold-medallist, it completes his collection by adding

Olympic gold. What a fantastic display by Julio Cesar La Cruz. Four

contests. Barely touched throughout the completed contests he fought and

he is applauding and acknowledging the support he is receiving. A warm

and brace for Niyazymbetov, who comes away with his second

successive Olympic silver medal. He met his master once again in the

form of Julio Cesar La Cruz. And for the fourth time in that rivalry, it

is Julio Cesar La Cruz who comes out on top. Julio Cesar La Cruz is the

Olympic champion and he completes Cuba's gold set in men's Olympic

boxing, claiming gold medals in all 12 weight divisions, including those

that are discontinued. I think we might have shown you a

gold medal bout by accident, but a bonus for you on BBC Four.

Apologies. Somebody somewhere pressed the wrong button. We shall

try to tidy it up later. We also need to tidy up the controversy when

Ireland's Michael Conlan felt he had won the fight. Against Vladimir

Nikitin. A complaint was put in. People asked how it could happen.

Vladimir Nikitin went through and was supposed to be fighting Shakur

Stevenson of the USA. But, I do not know the best way to put this, he

was so well beaten by Michael Conlan, he was unable to turn up for

his fight against Shakur Stevenson, who now has a walkover and goes

straight into the gold medal bout. I am sure we have not heard the last

of that. The beaches packed and we will have

a wander. I want to show you this first. Good evening, everybody.

There is a guy here who sells flags and blankets and also to Brazilian

gear every day. Today, he has sold out of the union flag because the

triathlon took place just down here. The Brownlee brothers came home in

gold and silver. There is some stars and stripes action under lot of

Australian flag down the beach because you have to scroll quite a

long way down the medal table to find the Aussies at the moment. We

are going to go through the shrubbery back onto the beach

because there are, even though it is a Thursday... Normally the weekends

are heaving but today, so many Brazilians are out enjoying the

sunshine and if you look down this way, towards Sugarloaf Mountain, it

is a little cloudy today. Yesterday was 30 degrees, today is 24, 20

five. Beautiful weather for this time of night. This is where the

triathlon took place. You can see the Fort Copacabana at the far end

where Brazil's military history museum is and where the swim was, we

had the triathlon and the road race and time trial all in this part of

Rio. The triathlon finished just down here. This was crammed down

here earlier. There is a lady over her and I know she speaks very good

English so we are going to have a chat with her. Good evening. I know

you speak very good English. What is your name? Sejena. That is George

and Gabriella. Is that a type praemia? It is. We know it is

alcoholic. Bigger than a pint and we call it aviation fuel. Because it is

so strong! And it is lime and sugar. It is lovely. This is my first one

today! You are Brazilian, your English is brilliant, where do you

live? I live in London. You were born in Brazil? Yes, I am from Sao

Paulo. Not from Rio. I am not perfect! Tell us a little bit about

the Brazilian side of things because you now have four gold medals at

these Games but in the UK, a lot of talk beforehand about security,

concerns about Rio, you shake your head but how do you think it has

gone down and what is the perception of everyone turning up for the

Olympic Games, from a Brazilian point of view? It has been great. It

has been so safe. I have been feeling really safe here. More than

I felt before. Because we have been walking around and lots of police,

military people around us with really big guns. We feel really

safe, I love it. In terms of the way Brazil has been portrayed to the

rest of the world, you might have seen this as well, Ryan Lochte and

some American swimmers, a big story today, they said they were held up

at gunpoint and it seems there it was not as much truth in that as

there was the first time round and he has been asked to apologise.

People feel very passionately that they have been wrong on that point.

Definitely. I was talking to a taxi driver last night and he said to me,

an American guy, he made up that because he was drunk. They called

him up and he said, that was the taxi driver's faults, what was that

about? There is a bit of blame going around because it is easy to do

that. One of the other things... I have to keep shifting my position

because I have old man's knees! What is your view of the fact there

haven't been that many... Some venues have been a little empty,

15-20% fall, is that disappointing or do you understand why? Very

disappointing and I blame the Olympics committee because they only

gave school holidays for the kids in Rio. I am from Sao Paulo and my

family would be happy to come here to meet us but they couldn't because

the kids are in school. Plus, the tickets are quite expensive, for the

Brazilian people. Lots of people are saying it is so expensive to be

here, any event, it is quite sad really because it is frustrating as

well because we try to get tickets for tomorrow, nothing available for

tomorrow, but we know tomorrow, we will find empty seats. To give you

an idea of the ticket prices, on the athletics, when there isn't a big

final, it is ?25. If it is one of the big nights, they start at ?65

and they go right up to ?220, which is months wages for an average

Brazilian. It is and it is quite sad the Brazilians deserve to be there

but they can't because they haven't got enough money to pay for the

tickets. It is sad really. We feel privileged that we are here and we

have watched loads of events, but we also feel sad because some of the

Brazilian people cannot watch because it is expensive. Lovely to

talk to you. I have just knocked ordering over, a beer and a

Caipirinha, you are having a good evening! I am Brazilian! George, you

were eating cheese kabaddi earlier? Yes. I have never had one, please

describe it to me. It is just barbecued cheese with oregano. Is it

the Leumi -- halloumi? It is a little bit like halloumi, it is a

Brazilian cheese. The whole family are from London, how often do you

come to Brazil, is it a regular visit? We try to come every two

years. You were here today for the triathlon? We came down to see it

all happen. What was that like? It was good. We saw the British people

run past, the Brownlee brothers. We missed filming them because they ran

too fast. Quite a few people have said that. People wanted to take

pictures of them but you forget how quickly they travel and you want to

take a shot and you just have a picture of their backside. To give

you an idea of how fast the Brownlee brothers run, I read this in a

newspaper earlier this week, the margin you have done the swim and

the cycle and when you are running, if you go on a treadmill ever and

you put the treadmill up to 20, the top level, try to do that for a

minute and they have done that after they have done the swim and the

cycle. Pleasure to talk to you all. Alistair Brownlee got a gold earlier

on, Jonny Brownlee got a silver. The reigning Olympic champion from four

years ago, her semifinal will be on BBC One at 9pm. We will now show you

who she will take on because the winner of this bout goes to face

Jade Jones in that semifinal. Mikkonen taking on Glasnovic of

Sweden. We're off to get a cheese kabaddi! -- to babble -- kebab.

Here she comes, the 28-year-old, Mikkonen. -- Glasnovic, of course

funded and supported by her father Mario. I had great families support.

My father was my coach until I was 16. That was great.

Suvi Mick Kinane -- Mikkonen. Nikita Glasnovic making her way into the

ring. In terms of a matchup here, Mikkonen in fifth place in the

London Olympic Games. She trains out of Madrid. Nikita Glasnovic as well,

the 21-year-old coming into this. This is where you have to get

focused because this is a very important part where you have to go

in there all systems blazing. The centre referee taking care of this

first round. Women's and 57 kilo contest between Suvi Mikkonen and

Nikita Glasnovic. Mikkonen, the shorter of the two. As the work on

distance and footwork to begin with. That is the thing, the range very

important here and so she has to make sure she gets her range right.

Gets close there, Mikkonen, a really aggressive start from the fighting

Finn. She will have to be in quick because the difference in the range

could make a big difference. That range finding front leg and

head shot, a back kick worth three points and a head likewise. Big

power punch from the Swede. An aggressive start. They are both

going forwards which is good. Fence is as good as defence, it is the

best form of defence. -- offence is the good as defence.

The Swede just about scores. That looked as if it made contact. Still

4-3 on the board and still going forwards. All about distance, you

can see that, trying to close up that distance. Mikkonen, county and

the round when she is 4-3 down? Mikkonen tries again with that

turning kick to the head. An aggressive start to this all

European first round. Sweden's Nikita Glasnovic leading 4-3. Not so

many punches. The legs are longer than the arms so that distance

differential. If you reach in as Mikkonen tries here with a short

kit, you leave a big space. The punches still score, though?

Absolutely. If you do it like this, you will score. But the back kick

and a headshot get three points. Contrasting fortunes in both

corners, this is your match, advice from the Swedish coach. Nikita

Glasnovic. Gumshield and head guard down, full

focus from the finish fighter. good turning kick from Glasnovic we

saw a punch. It was very close. We saw the distance differential we

were talking about. All systems go at the taekwondo and both fighters

working well. Tries of flying hook kick will stop she went high,

looking for big points. Finland's Mikkonen tried the punch.

You can see the intensity. She knows she has that mare point to bring

back and she is going for it. Absolutely attacking. She has to be

careful when she goes him because of the counter. That is the thing as

well. She has more range there, Glasnovic. She almost used that

range to good effect. Just missing with a head shot, but as we were.

Aggressive from Mikkonen, but another excellent second round. It

was close, it really was. Mikkonen was going for it, but almost getting

countered. She was looking to the punch, as well. As you say, good

variety. Finland's Suvi Mikkonen. The height difference making

variety. Finland's Suvi Mikkonen. The height difference making the

difference so far on the scoreboard. The flicking headshot from the Swede

separating the two. Just looking really how they are looking for

target all the time and of course, the target is the midsection. And of

course the head. That reverse kick, almost picking up big points. Points

make prizes in this one, the women's under 57 final. Glasnovic has worked

hard to get here. The 21-year-old. The support of her father

instrumental in helping her qualify. Suvi Mikkonen, a London Olympian in

2012. Working out of a gym in Madrid. She

is changing from left to right stance. How important is that?

Absolutely key. You have to change and pick off different mistakes and

also pretend to kick. A lot of motioning and faking. It is also

changing the target area, the target area every times they go from left

to right stance, and of course able to kick with both feet, which is a

great advantage. Kicking to the heads to take that advantage.

Tremendous flexibility and that is a big moment for the Swede. Can she

find a way back into this? She is starting to pick off the points. And

like you said, when the big and went for the head. I think the extra

variation going left-to-right, as well. Can Suvi Mikkonen switch up

the scoreboard? She is on the attack, the super Swede. Glasnovic

on the defence, using the front leg. The range that you mention. Also

now, the latter part of this particular round, she is just

starting to back off. A little bit defensive now. She tries a headshot,

Glasnovic, in the last ten seconds of birth -- of the round. Stepping

out of the ring. One second left. A point will be

added to Suvi Mikkonen, but the biggest point of all, Glasnovic. Try

as she might, Suvi Mikkonen, Glasnovic sealed the win. It was

interesting in the last few seconds, she was defensive and it did not

matter if she went outside the area and giving up a

couple of kyongos. She will be back in medal contention soon. Suvi

Mikkonen, try as she might, double Olympian, always fighting up against

the taller fighters. The cart, couple of big scores.

-- card. As we told you, you can switch to

BBC One, because Jade Jones will be fighting in the semifinal against

Nikita Glasnovic of Sweden at nine o'clock. We are going to have live

hockey. The gold medal match from the men. Neither of the two nations

competing have won a gold medal before. We will have that for you at

9pm. Normally there are Argentine fans knocking around here but maybe

they have made their way is to the hockey. They have been very

boisterous. We got caught up in a melee with the Argentinians at one

point. Great fun. Looking down the beach, having spoken to our

Brazilian - London family, telling us the magic of the cheese kebab.

Has everybody had a cheese kebab? Quite a few people have. There is a

cheese kebab man walking up and down the beach, so we will find the

Copaca-kebabman. We will tidy up the boxing. Forgive us, we showed you a

gold medal fight involving two boxers I had not introduced

correctly. We are going to show you the other semifinal, Arlen Lopez of

Cuba taking on Kamran Shakhsuvarly of Abbas -- Azerbaijan. We will join

it in round three. So to the third and final round. My

goodness, what those starts to the round by the man in red who appears

to be going through the gears. And just showing Shakhsuvarly who is the

governor. He is being worked over to both body and head and Lopez has

come out in aggressive mood and Shakhsuvarly is keen to hold on. An

injection of pace from Lopez. Some brilliant stuff.

Is that a piece that has come out from Lopez? By beginners. Into the

third and final round of -- I think it is. Into the third and final

round. If he wins this contest, which you should, Lopez, he will be

fresh for the final. Maybe the whole plan in this one is to box well

within himself. Glimpses of what he can do when he goes through the

gears and raises the tempo. But very comfortable in an Olympic semifinal.

That may be important for a final, but can the man in blue reduce a

knockout? He certainly has the power, Shakhsuvarly. He has to have

the confidence to throw the big shot. No qualms about letting it go

as we mentioned in the preliminary round against the Chinese boxer.

Perhaps just a little bit, perhaps not intimidated, but overly

respectful. The reputation of the man in front of him. Good right to

the body. Being very cautious, considering he is two rounds down

and he does possess a fair amount of pop on his own punches. No

discernible change in the work of the man in blue, considering that

place in the gold medal bout is at stake. No change of attack. Really

not fully committing when he throws his shot. I think it has been a

clever tactic from Lopez with most of the contest fighting as a

southpaw. Lopez knows Shakhsuvarly has a bit of power. To land the

right hand, it has to travel further to the target against a southpaw and

when you have a southpaw like Lopez who hits the target continuously

with accurate punches at range, then success with the right-hand for the

man in blue is very rare indeed. Arlen Lopez through to the Olympic

gold medal bout and he is barely out of breath after that semifinal

against Kamran Shakhsuvarly of Azerbaijan. The second successive

Olympic run in a division for Azerbaijan. Just waiting for the

announcement but Lopez incredibly comfortable. A good performance.

Controlled the pace very well. Accurate with his work. That is

probably the best shot Shakhsuvarly has thrown throughout the contest. A

rabbit in the headlights and he gave too much respect to his opponent.

Lopez goes through with ease. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by

unanimous decision... In the red corner...

Victory for Arlen Lopez of Cuba. We got there eventually and he will

phase a boxer from Uzbekistan in the gold medal match. We can take you to

the hockey. We promised you Belgium taking on Argentina. This is the

gold medal match. They are doing the anthems at the moment. Surprise

finalists with Belgian beating the Netherlands 3-1, the first time they

have beaten their near neighbours in 80 years to reach the final.

Argentina managed a an upset beating Germany 5-2. We watched Germany in

incredible quarterfinal. But Argentina got better the better of

them. Jade Jones is on BBC One fighting in her semifinal. This is

the gold medal match in the men's hockey with Belgium taking on

Argentina. Neither of these two nations have ever won Olympic gold

in this event so history will be made tonight. Simon Mason is

alongside Matt Chilton. Good evening. Good evening,

everybody. What an atmosphere tonight. A sea of colour. The

Argentine fans love their hockey. After football it is the most

popular sport in the country just south of us here, Brazil's near

neighbours. There is a sporting rivalry between Argentina and

Brazil. Was ill were never going to do anything in the hockey

tournament, but for those Brazilians here tonight I guarantee they will

be supporting Belgium. The men's hockey final. Neither side has been

in an Olympic gold medal match before. We will expect a physical

and fast paced encounter. We had the bronze medal match earlier. Germany

came through that, beating the Netherlands in a penalty shoot out.

The players getting ready to go. Both sides guaranteed a medal, but

both here for the gold. Belgium in Allred, attacking the goal away to

the right. Argentina in the traditional blue and white stripes.

We have been eagerly anticipating this one, Simon Mason. We have

indeed. Teams with contrasting styles. The Argentines will want to

sit back and be compacted. One of the most effective zonal defence is

in the game. Looking for corners for Peillat to step up. Dangerous

upfront, Agustin Mazzilli. Peillat is unstoppable at times from the

penalty corner set piece opportunities. Peillat will keep

himself out of trouble, playing in the left back position. When the

penalty corners arrive he steps forwards and has an eye for goal.

It is something the Argentinians have put into practice in the

semifinal particularly. Dominating the game against the Germans with

Peillat scoring three from three and the Argentinians' percentage ratio

is almost double that of any team in a competition.

Mikkonen Thomas Briels was likely in the semifinal and could be a man to

watch tonight for Belgium. Extraordinary noise around the

stadium, it is fuller than it has been since the Olympic hockey

tournament began. Great Britain are going for gold tomorrow against the

Netherlands. A little channel has opened up and

centre. All the way back to Emmanuel Stockbroekx 's. They have got it,

what a start for Belgium. Tanguy Cosyns, he was on the right place at

the right time. It has taken two and a half minutes of concerted

pressure, recycling ball. Cosyns leans forward. The goalkeeper wasn't

ready for it at any point. The coach will be delighted for Belgium. Don't

throw that away, you might need it again! This is vital for Belgium,

bad news for Argentina. Callum Guy cousins gets a little rest after his

goal which will ignite the pace of this golden match. -- Tanguy Cosyns.

The Belgian fans singing. Argentina normally so harmonious the way they

sing through these games, they have been rather stunned into silence at

the moment. With the exception of the Dutch against the Australians,

the Belgians have handled the ball better than any other team in this

competition. The small interchange passes, the precision of those

interchanges has been outstanding and the Argentinians couldn't cope

with it. If you take it side to side several times, the channels will

open and they did and Cosyns was on hand. Boccard calling for it.

Belgium happy to build steadily, with the early goal, in no rush to

lose possession. Boccard with a little space in front. Gougnard just

in front of him, he has gone back inside. Jerome treasons charging

forward. Good left-hand stick skills but the ball is stolen by Truyens.

One moment for Ms elite, he tried to put his body between the ball and

the defender. Just step in, just tackle him from the wrong side.

Charlie is in the circle, Belgium will try to get the ball delivered

to him. A problem for Argentina is always this period of time the

Belgians have the ball, they have to chase and run, to try to get it

back. It is physically demanding to do that. It takes a load of pressure

and puts a lot of pressure on the body and starts to get the fatigue

built up. It is dry up the road at the

Deodoro, but there is a threat of rain and we are expecting a shower

or two. Aerial ball from one end of the field to the other. It was aimed

for Ortiz and it very nearly found him. Juan Saladino, 19 for

Argentina. Thinks about his options. His attempted cross is blocked. Try

to force the ball through, the defence has not worked like that for

anybody during this tournament. The ball took a couple of bounces and

ended up as an Argentinian long corner. Into the circle. Ibarra just

sweeping that ball in. It has been an Argentinian tactic for awhile

now, they play one man up front and hit a long ball from deep and then

tried to crash ball into the circle. A barracks has found his way all the

way to the baseline. -- Ybarra. That will relieve the pressure on the

Belgian defence for the moment. Thomas Barr, the President of the

international Olympic committee, here to watch the men's Olympic

finals. As a German, I expect he was hoping for a different fixture. He

may well have been but it is fantastic for hockey this stadium is

so full and rocking when the Argentinians get behind it. As

President, he will want to see a full venue and everybody interested

and engaged. The Germans will be on the podium a little later. The medal

ceremony will involve the German side, they will collect them bronze.

They were involved in a penalty shoot out against the Netherlands

earlier today. That is a great take. Tom Briels has covered a lot of

ground. He has had it stolen. Nice break-out from Ybarra. He has been

bundled down, a bit of a tag between Ybarra and stock brooks -- stock

rocks -- Stockbroekx. Masoe one of the key players. There are two

players able to come in in case of injury and Argentina at two players

picking up injuries earlier on in the tournament. They will be here

and watching and they may even be on the bench. The new boys have to get

up to speed very quickly. Masoe and Pedro Ibarra.

Not a bad way to start an Olympic final, coming into the Olympic

tournament, knowing you will get a medal whatever happens. The

inspirational captain of Belgium, John-John Dohmen, calling for it on

the right. Belgium threatening again, held up, the whistle has

gone. Tom Boon having the word down there to John Wright, the umpire,

suggesting he felt he was fouled. Tom Boon might have a role to play

fair any penalty corners that come the way of Belgium. Here is

John-John Dohmen again, lots of space ahead. Dohmen and Truyens

playing a little passing interchange. Truyens now. Pondering

about which way to go, he has gone back to Van Aubel. Van Aubel finds a

way through to the centre of the field. Argentina claim it should

have been a blue and white ball. I felt the first tackle here, this is

the replay of Tom Boon coming down the middle of the pitch, he goes

over Vivaldi, nothing malicious there, he felt he had been stick

checked. Boccard. Dohmen. It is a good-looking pass across the floor,

Briels has turned. Brilliant take on the pressure continues. Charlie

eight and Briels look really lively. We have seen interchanges from Tom

Boon and Briels has always been part of it but this contest in

particular, they have players contributing forward. Rossi on his

way, Argentina in the circle, reverse shot. Straight at the glove

of Van as. Not a bad effort from Agustin Mazzilli. Just as he took it

down in the circle, he couldn't get his feet in the right place. He

needed a better angle and if the take a slightly wider... Gonzalo

Peillat sends that down the line. Most take from Callioni. Callioni

has managed to set up another attack. All the way to the baseline

with Bruno, penalty corner awarded to Argentina. The first of this

final. Boccard unable to get his feet out of the way. A little dink

at the back, that would be a stick checked anyway. There is the body

contact. Now, they step up to the top of the circle. Gonzalo Peillat

has had only about three touches, his next one could be devastating.

He has scored ten goals in the tournament so far.

Argentina with the first penalty corner of the match. Hayat draws it

back inside. Van as has let it slip and the goal is awarded. Hayat to

the corner but it was Ibarra who pounced on it. Argentina switch

routine that the top, that Tutte means the number one runner goes at

Pelite and he finds space and Ibarra has all the space in the world. It

is so close to being stopped on the line by Van Aubel. He can't get

enough on it, it bobbles down, so close to an amazing save from the

linemen but Ibarra with enough time to drag it through the goalkeeper.

Belgium on all -- Belgium 1-1 Argentina. A role reversal in the

stands. Belgian fans are silent, Argentina in good voice now. That is

what happens when you have a world-class number one flicker off

the top. Players have to step in. No goal, it hit a foot on the way

through, it was drilled across by Stockbroekx. The referee absolutely

on the spot, knowing it hit a red foot on the way through. Charlier,

it pops off, he touches it in second phase but what a pick-up that was.

Unlucky not to get control. I thought the ball was out of play.

The umpire was on that line watching it closely.

Stockbroekx Lowick light part's right.

Gougnard, a lively move across field.

Van Doren could not make the track. The ball was bouncing towards him

but I think he would expect to get control of that. You can tell he

expected it because there was no foot movement. If players are

certain they will get their feet behind the ball, stay vertical, take

it in that position because it is safer. They have been so good they

think they can take it away with an easy take. What an aerial ball from

Peillat. The danger has not gone for Belgium. There are appeals for a

penalty corner. Mazzilli thought it had touched a foot. What a final

this has become in this first quarter. Very physical. Players

falling left, right and centre. You feel that Brunet, down on the turf,

it was a little theatrical. Peillat was pushed behind from a Belgian

stick. Into the circle again. Argentina

have control. Argentina have scored! Argentina 2- Belgium one.

We think it was Ortiz the score. Who is that getting praise from his

team-mates? Difficult to see. Great from the umpire. As it comes down,

flicked across, Vanasch. I think it is Ortiz. Touched in field by Lucas

Vila. Great umpiring. Belgium 1-2 Argentina.

Can Belgium launch another attack with seconds on the clock?

That was close. Two players on the floor, one defender and an attacker.

And that ends the first quarter. Value for money with three goals in

the first 15 minutes. Belgium first, Argentina striking back twice.

STUDIO: Look at the Argentine fans are enjoying themselves. Matt

Chilton was saying the atmosphere is fantastic at the hockey and we will

be back there shortly. Day 13 of the Games, just gone 5:15pm here, 9:15pm

back home. We can bring you up to date with the headlines.

Beside us on Copacabana Beach it was a gold and silver for the Brownlee

brothers who dominated the triathlon. Alistair Brownlee

crossing first and then a brotherly hug with Jonny Brownlee, who took

silver. It was a gold medal for Hannah Mills

Saskia Clark. They had silver four years ago and have gone one better

this time around. It was a silver this time in the

men's double kayak for Heath and Schofield. At the same medal

snatched away in 2012. A reversal of fortune this time, just squeezing

home in second place. The colour of the medal was bronze

for the badminton duo of Ellis and Langridge. An unexpected bronze

medal, amazing bronze medal, beating the fifth Chinese pair in that

match. It will either be a gold or silver

for Nicola Adams who is into the gold medal match like four years ago

when she took the top medal in London will stop can she do it again

and become a double Olympic champion?

Jade Jones is through to the final of the taekwondo. She like Nicola

Adams is a defending champion from four years ago and is the

overwhelming favourite to take the gold medal.

She fights at 2am your time in the UK. That will be on BBC One. We are

going back to the hockey and this amazing match between Belgium and

Argentina. Simon and Matt Chilton once again.

Belgium still trailing 2-1 and with the first serious attack of the

second quarter. Argentina will have possession.

What a start to this gold medal match. Neither side has ever won the

Olympic title before. The closest Belgium came was in 1920, when they

were the Olympic bronze-medallists. Argentina's women have traditionally

been the more successful of the two sides, but it is the men who have

shone at this Olympic tournament and they are guaranteed a silver,

leading the way early in the second quarter by 2-1 will stop you feel

the Argentines have not exerted themselves on this game completely

as they did in the semifinal. They have not been able to get the

control they would like. The Belgians holding the ball well but

looking dangerous every time they come forward. Argentina know they

need another goal on the board to give them security and allow them to

sit back in the zonal defence. What control from the Belgian captain,

Dohmen. He will set up the next attack, going all the way back.

Flicking gets to left. Penalty corner has been awarded to

Belgium. Their first opportunity to get a goal from the penalty corner

set piece. Van Strydonck cleverly taking the ball back into the

Argentinian defender, creating the impact that draws the penalty

corner, it is the obstruction, the player not being able to get to the

ball. Luypaert is there, the number 25.

Gougnard is not far away. Wide of the goalkeeper's right-hand post.

Gougnard started on the baseline for the injection, needed to get closer

to give Luypaert a chance. You have to hit the target at this stage of

the game. John-John Dohmen has real pace and urgency. The first two had

a half minutes of the second quarter have been all Belgium.

Dohmen thought he would get a reverse shot on that ball but no

luck. A crucial step forward is by Peillat in the circle, taken pretty

much dead from the left-wing cross. If you are going to back Mark, back

mark within a metre and as your opponent approaches, step forward

and steal it away. Now into Argentina's half of the

field and hassled all the way. It will be a Belgium free hit. Dohmen

is dangerous in that position. It is a Belgium ball. The Argentinians

appealing that the ball went high and dangerous. Argentina stepped

forward. It felt to me it was above the knee. Argentina taking no

chances. Gilardi making sure he did not take that down.

It was a difficult ball. This is dangerous. Belgium queueing up to

have a shot. Vivaldi had to be alert to the danger. Belgium appealing

that they felt the whistle was blown too early. A free hit could have

been given. John Wright allowing it to play on. Dockier went for it and

the whistle has gone, playing it down and screaming at the umpire.

Belgium will get their second penalty corner opportunity the

second of this quarter and only the second of the match.

Saved. Argentina have not cleared it. They have now. Three Argentina

players down in the Belgian 23. That took the sting out of the attack,

the counterattack for Argentina. Van -- from the penalty corner, he had

gone down the middle. I think he was looking for rebound. Go down the

middle set your rebound positions up to pick up the second chance.

See the penalty corner. Straight down. The reverse stick was the

target. Belgium rather trapped in their own
