:00:00. > :00:00.for ourselves and for badminton, which is massive for our sport and I
:00:00. > :00:00.am so proud to which is massive for our sport and I
:00:07. > :00:11.am so proud to be a part of it. As they said, that is such a huge
:00:12. > :00:15.medal for the sport of badminton, which is crying out for more
:00:16. > :00:21.attention and it is a huge medal for the duo themselves could, who, as
:00:22. > :00:27.you heard, are ranked number 22 in the world. We will now go to boxing,
:00:28. > :00:34.and there are only two Britons left standing in these Olympics, and one
:00:35. > :00:38.of them is Nicola Adams. She was fighting in her flyweight semifinal
:00:39. > :00:46.today and taking on Ren Cancan, the woman she beat in the final in 2012.
:00:47. > :00:54.The 51 kilograms semifinal, who will go through to the gold-medal bout?
:00:55. > :00:57.We are under way. Semifinal action in the women's 51 kilograms
:00:58. > :01:02.flyweight division, between two rivals who know one another very
:01:03. > :01:09.well indeed. The box are wearing red, the reigning Olympic champion,
:01:10. > :01:13.Nicola Adams, the British boxer. The Chinese boxer, wearing blue,
:01:14. > :01:17.operating out of southpaw stance is Ren Cancan. So much history between
:01:18. > :01:22.these two, they have met five times before and Nicola Adams is trailing
:01:23. > :01:28.in that rivalry. 2-3 against the former three-time World Championship
:01:29. > :01:33.world medallist. She took those titles in 2008, 2010 and 2012 and on
:01:34. > :01:37.two of those occasions she reduced Nicola Adams to silver medal status
:01:38. > :01:41.in the World Championships. Nicola Adams got it right on the grandest
:01:42. > :01:46.stage of all at the Olympic Games. It is a good left hand from Ren
:01:47. > :01:50.Cancan. It is important for Adams to lead off with a right hand and hit
:01:51. > :01:54.the target. If she misses the target with a right Angie Paul Flynn and
:01:55. > :02:00.that is a bad position to be against a good southpaw like Ren Cancan. She
:02:01. > :02:06.can't neglect her jab. She started the contest well with a couple of
:02:07. > :02:10.good jabs and she has to measure that shot before she throws the
:02:11. > :02:13.right hand. That is what she has to do here. Nicola Adams is the
:02:14. > :02:17.reigning World Championship gold medallist and that right-hand wasn't
:02:18. > :02:21.too far away and that second one got through. A nice left uppercut from
:02:22. > :02:25.Ren Cancan and using good footwork to get back to the space of the
:02:26. > :02:29.ring. Timing and accuracy are paramount here for Nicola Adams.
:02:30. > :02:37.What she is doing is sitting back and waiting for her which is not a
:02:38. > :02:40.bad thing to do against a southpaw. Then she comes back with a right
:02:41. > :02:47.hand. She needs to work more with the jab.
:02:48. > :02:55.So, plenty of fainting and sabre rattling with those lead hands in
:02:56. > :02:59.the closing ten seconds or so. A very good round of boxing from both
:03:00. > :03:07.individuals and they both enjoyed success. Not a lot in it at all, is
:03:08. > :03:12.there, in the first round. Another physical chess match here. Each
:03:13. > :03:16.boxer doesn't want to make a mistake. Make a mistake at this
:03:17. > :03:21.level and your opponent will punish you, they know that. That is a nice
:03:22. > :03:23.attack from Ren Cancan but Nicola Adams gets through with the right
:03:24. > :03:41.hand and it is a All judges have favoured Ren Cancan,
:03:42. > :03:49.the reigning Olympic silver medallist, takes the opening lead.
:03:50. > :03:54.So we're into the second round now. Women's scheduled for four 2 minutes
:03:55. > :03:58.rounds. Nicola Adams comes out in an aggressive mood and pecking away
:03:59. > :04:01.with that straight left hand but a good left that good through to the
:04:02. > :04:06.body from Ren. Better start from Adams, we spoke about it earlier in
:04:07. > :04:11.the first round. She just neglected it a little bit. She has to settle
:04:12. > :04:16.that backhand with the lead hand first. The left hand has to go in
:04:17. > :04:24.before the right. She can't afford to fall short. She's got to get her
:04:25. > :04:34.feet into position. Ren effectively boxing on her left foot. Ritchie
:04:35. > :04:39.drew the analogy of physical chess, because Nicola Adams used the sport
:04:40. > :04:44.the same way - drawing on skills and tactics, how she regards it. Ring
:04:45. > :04:53.intelligence, thought crucial rather than just naked blind aggression.
:04:54. > :04:57.Getting a bit untidy. And as Ritchie has pointed out, a mistake at this
:04:58. > :05:02.level is crucial. Could be counted just like that. Terrific left jab by
:05:03. > :05:06.Nicola Adams causing Ren to lose her stance momentarily. The most basic
:05:07. > :05:10.of all shots in that jab. She fell short with her work then, the
:05:11. > :05:14.Chinese girl, and that's why Adams got through and again a simple
:05:15. > :05:20.punch, you know, as your opponent comes into punching range, get your
:05:21. > :05:25.timing and accuracy right, which she did there - Adams. Very well. Well
:05:26. > :05:28.aware has been a good passage at the second roubtd. Adams is looking to
:05:29. > :05:31.make a strong conclusion in the second round. Try to even things up
:05:32. > :05:35.in her own mind and most crucially in the mind of the judges. Look at
:05:36. > :05:41.that timing on that wonderful left jab from Adams. She comes with the
:05:42. > :05:44.right hand which drives Ren back to the ropes. Nicola Adams has
:05:45. > :05:48.concluded the second round in a stronger fashion. Very good round of
:05:49. > :05:50.boxing and a wonderful response from Adams having conceded the opening
:05:51. > :06:04.unanimously. Much better round. Dave saying that's a much better
:06:05. > :06:09.round, but when you do catch it, don't run in. Absolutely, don't want
:06:10. > :06:14.to too overcommit, you see. The time here was superb. Concentration was
:06:15. > :06:19.excellent here and she finished the round strongly and that's always
:06:20. > :06:22.good to impress those judges. So a better response, her time and
:06:23. > :06:27.accuracy was there. Let's look at the scores. She should get there.
:06:28. > :06:34.Across the board, so now it's even-Steven.
:06:35. > :06:41.So two rounds completed, two rounds to go in the women's 51kg flyweight
:06:42. > :06:42.semifinal. Ren Cancan the reigning Asian continental championship,
:06:43. > :06:48.swepted the opening round unanimously. Nicola Adams responded
:06:49. > :06:54.with a brilliant performance in round two to return the favour. Weir
:06:55. > :07:01.all square. Across the board with two rounds to go. Good right jab to
:07:02. > :07:10.the body from Ren. Adams responds with the same shot from the
:07:11. > :07:15.left-hand. Very often you got to try to make the lead, Ren is sitting
:07:16. > :07:20.back. Acting like you're going to punch her, waiting for Adams leads.
:07:21. > :07:25.When ad add leads she must hit the targets, like those shots there,
:07:26. > :07:29.that's better from Adams. Terrific forward foray from Nicola Adams. And
:07:30. > :07:33.after that brisk start, is Ren beginning to fade just a little bit?
:07:34. > :07:37.Her work doesn't appear of the same sharpness has in the opening round
:07:38. > :07:42.although she did get a good right hand to the body there. Adams's
:07:43. > :07:46.accuracy and timing is better, Ren is still making Adams trying to lead
:07:47. > :07:51.off and she's hoping she's going to miss the target by sitting back. But
:07:52. > :07:54.Adams is getting her feet into position and hitting the target and
:07:55. > :08:01.that's what's troubling Ren at this stage. Hitting target with the most
:08:02. > :08:10.fundamental of all shots in boxing. Terrific left jab, Ren coming
:08:11. > :08:19.through with a big south paw, Ren coming into this game with annire --
:08:20. > :08:23.an eye injury. A win at the quarterfinal stage over Canada's
:08:24. > :08:28.Mandy, heads came together and she suffered an eye injury beneath the
:08:29. > :08:35.head guard. Good right hand from Ren. But Nicola Adams's use of the
:08:36. > :08:40.jab in that third round was really impressive. It's the jab that's
:08:41. > :08:44.winning this contest for Nicola Adams at the moment. It's important
:08:45. > :08:50.to finish the round strong. You got to catch the judges' eyes. They are
:08:51. > :08:55.close rounds. Adams is doing the better work, to me. But that last 10
:08:56. > :09:00.seconds can be crucial for impressing the judges. Let's look at
:09:01. > :09:04.this. Adams with the nice right hand there, keeps our opponent on the
:09:05. > :09:07.back foot. A nice left hand went through there from Ren. Let's have a
:09:08. > :09:12.look again. Adams across the board again - they're liking what they see
:09:13. > :09:19.from Adams. Like I said, time and Accra iscy work -- time and accuracy
:09:20. > :09:23.working well with that shot. So Nicola Adams after conceding the
:09:24. > :09:27.open round, across-the-board has taken round two and three
:09:28. > :09:32.unanimously to have a one-point lead on the score cards of all three
:09:33. > :09:37.judges here. Ren Cancan aware of that and is now, shethe boxer in
:09:38. > :09:41.blue, is looking to take the contest to Adams. Remember, this is
:09:42. > :09:46.incredibly tight. Maybe word has made it down to the respective
:09:47. > :09:51.corners as to the status of the score cards but still the boxers'
:09:52. > :09:57.concentration will remain absolute. Ren may change her tactics now which
:09:58. > :10:01.will suit her style of boxing. She's out and out counter punching on the
:10:02. > :10:04.back foot, she may force the fight to Adams and as long Nicola Adams
:10:05. > :10:12.keeps that timing and accuracy going, she should be OK. Again,
:10:13. > :10:16.plenty of fainting, plenty of twitching, that style paw left not
:10:17. > :10:24.too far away from Ren but the poents trying to draw something that they
:10:25. > :10:30.can counter. So much thought and concentration behind each and every
:10:31. > :10:37.attack. Setting traps, trying to draw something from their opponent.
:10:38. > :10:41.Left jab once again from Adams and a counter right hand making Ren miss.
:10:42. > :10:44.Her hands are very low and Adams is stepping in with that right hand.
:10:45. > :10:48.Last 30 seconds now. This is the crucial part of the round. It's
:10:49. > :10:52.still fairly close up until now. A good burst from either boxer could
:10:53. > :10:57.nick the round. So Adams has got to finish strong here, Ron. Both boxers
:10:58. > :11:02.will have that in-built almost innate clock that lets them know how
:11:03. > :11:07.deep they are into a round. And this is what Ren wants to be - that's not
:11:08. > :11:10.the posture Ren wants to be in near the 10 second clapper. She scores
:11:11. > :11:14.with a good long left. Adams gets back on to the front foot and drive
:11:15. > :11:20.Ren back towards rope. A little bit of an exchange on the final bell but
:11:21. > :11:23.Nicola Adams is now surely on the cusp of returning to the gold medal
:11:24. > :11:27.bout. She took rounds two and three after conceding the opening round
:11:28. > :11:33.and that is why she's all smiles over in that red corner as Dave
:11:34. > :11:38.Alloway and Gary Hail remove it is gloves. She feels she's done enough
:11:39. > :11:44.and returning through to the gold medal bout. Good boxing from right.
:11:45. > :11:47.The last 10 seconds was crucial and she finished strong on the front
:11:48. > :11:52.foot pushing her opponent back to the ropes. She's done enough here.
:11:53. > :12:00.She's through to the final in my opinion. Well done, Nicola Adams.
:12:01. > :12:08.Nicola Adams already emulated the great Dick McTaggart. Trying to
:12:09. > :12:14.emulate Henry Mallet who won two successive golds. Here is the
:12:15. > :12:19.announcement. ANNOUNCER: The winner by unanimous
:12:20. > :12:30.decision... In the red corner... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:12:31. > :12:34... ..Nicola Adams. The quest to defend her gold medal she won in
:12:35. > :12:39.London four years ago is now one step closer to becoming reality. The
:12:40. > :12:44.boxer of leads had defeated a woman with whom she shares such a long
:12:45. > :12:49.history. It is now tied up three bouts and once again on the Olympic
:12:50. > :12:53.stage, it is Nicola Adams who has prevailed. Courtesy of a unanimous
:12:54. > :12:57.points decision - once again she returns to the limb ping gold medal
:12:58. > :13:00.bout and given the form she demonstrated there, she's going to
:13:01. > :13:03.be supremely confident that it will be she, the British boxer, who
:13:04. > :13:06.occupies top spot on the podium. First part of the mission
:13:07. > :13:12.accomplished - Nicola Adams is through to the final for the second
:13:13. > :13:15.successive Olympic Games. Another gold medal fight on Saturday. Yes,
:13:16. > :13:19.another fight. I'm excited. I can't wait. This is what I have been
:13:20. > :13:22.training for for the last four years. I'm really to go. You
:13:23. > :13:27.obviously fought somebody who you knew very well and beaten in London,
:13:28. > :13:30.how much was that in your mind when you walked into the ring today? To
:13:31. > :13:35.be honest, I wasn't thinking about it too much, four years is a lot of
:13:36. > :13:38.time for a person to change style and technique and strengthen their
:13:39. > :13:42.weaknesses. I started to take it for what it was and going there and
:13:43. > :13:46.stick to the tactics. As you're talking you're throwing out that
:13:47. > :13:50.jab. That jab was immense today, won you the fight, didn't it? Yes, it
:13:51. > :13:56.did. I was using the jab, I got long arms and I just paid off. You were
:13:57. > :14:02.so calm, at least apparently, anyway. Were you nervous? I'm
:14:03. > :14:07.nervous in every competition, you need that nervous energy to give you
:14:08. > :14:10.the adrenaline. So... I have a last question - how excited are you now
:14:11. > :14:14.about what lies ahead? I'm really excited now. I like to say thank you
:14:15. > :14:27.to everybody that's supporting back at home. I love you.
:14:28. > :14:31.Well in Saturday's final - Adams faces France's Ourahmoune. The
:14:32. > :14:35.34-year-old bronze medallist at this year's world championships plans to
:14:36. > :14:43.retire after the Olympics. I wonder what kind of farewell it could be.
:14:44. > :14:48.So could be a second gold medal for Nicola Adams. Let's talk to a man
:14:49. > :14:52.who has plenty of gold medals, Michael Johnson in the Olympic
:14:53. > :14:57.Stadium ahead of Usain Bolt in the 200m. Gemili in the race as well.
:14:58. > :15:01.Michael no Justin Gatlin. Is there a changer to Bolt at all in this case?
:15:02. > :15:07.If so, what is it? There's really no danger. You know, there's no one
:15:08. > :15:10.that can run with Bolt when he's healthy. Justin Gatlin has always
:15:11. > :15:13.been considered the rival simply because - in the because of a real
:15:14. > :15:17.going back and forth between the two, but simply because he's the
:15:18. > :15:21.closest person - the person who can get closest to Bolt and cause any
:15:22. > :15:25.sort of challenge. With him now being out of the race, I don't see
:15:26. > :15:33.anyone who's able to run with Bolt. He's so relaxed. We're going to see
:15:34. > :15:37.some shots of him now in the Olympic Stadium doing an Alli shuffle, just
:15:38. > :15:43.enjoying himself. Do you know who's going to be the next big face of
:15:44. > :15:46.athletes, do you think people sometimes people forget he wasn't
:15:47. > :15:50.like this at the start. This has all come with the confidence of winning?
:15:51. > :15:53.Yeah, but you know - he really was this way at the beginning when he
:15:54. > :15:56.first came on the scene, anyway, back in 2008 and if you remember
:15:57. > :16:01.back in Beijing, you know, people said that he wasn't good for the
:16:02. > :16:05.sport and that he was too flashy and showy and arrogant and - but then,
:16:06. > :16:08.you know, people started to realise this is just who he is and he's most
:16:09. > :16:13.comfortable in this situation. When you talk to Usain Bolt one-on-one,
:16:14. > :16:18.doesn't matter if it's fans or media or anyone else, he's quite shy in
:16:19. > :16:24.one-to-one close contact with people. But out on the track when
:16:25. > :16:27.he's away from everyone else and - he feels very confident and
:16:28. > :16:33.comfortable and he enjoys this. You know, I don't think - in terms of
:16:34. > :16:36.the next great star of the sport, that doesn't mean they're going to
:16:37. > :16:39.be a Usain Bolt. I don't think we're going to see another Usain Bolt - a
:16:40. > :16:43.combination of being a really special and unique athlete who is
:16:44. > :16:46.one of the best that's ever been, and with this sort of personality
:16:47. > :16:51.and entertainment, you know, factor that he brings. I think he just did
:16:52. > :16:56.a dab as well in the middle of that. He really does have all the moves.
:16:57. > :17:00.Actually you think our attitudes to him have changed rather than him
:17:01. > :17:04.changing? Exactly. And, yeah, our attitude to him has changed. I think
:17:05. > :17:09.fans have started to realise over time that it is authentic, this is
:17:10. > :17:13.who he is, it's not an act or arrogant. He has been consistently a
:17:14. > :17:17.fantastic ambassador for the sport and he has shown out there when he's
:17:18. > :17:23.on the track he really appreciates the fans and he wants to give this
:17:24. > :17:27.to them - this entertainment and these great performances. So the
:17:28. > :17:33.race is still over two hours away, it means 2:30 in the UK. If there
:17:34. > :17:37.isn't a danger for him and it's all nearly a forgone conclusion, another
:17:38. > :17:40.reason - or a reason to keep people up if there isn't that jeopardy
:17:41. > :17:45.element is that this could be the last time we see him run a 200m. He
:17:46. > :17:49.said he won't run it at the Worlds next year. Yeah, this will be
:17:50. > :17:54.effectively the last time we see him in a 200m. It will be the last time
:17:55. > :17:59.we see him in an individual event at an Olympic Games, and - but you know
:18:00. > :18:03.the other thing is the reason to watch is because, you know, if it
:18:04. > :18:07.was a forgone conclusion and he was awarded the medal because he's the
:18:08. > :18:12.best, we wouldn't be having the race. So you still have to go out
:18:13. > :18:17.there and produce the performance and finish line ahead of the other
:18:18. > :18:20.guys and they won't lie down and let that happen. They're going to be
:18:21. > :18:23.pushing him and anything can happen at the Olympic level. I have seen
:18:24. > :18:28.huge overwhelming favourites go down and not produce on the day. That can
:18:29. > :18:32.happen. The other thing is I think behind Bolt, it is going to be very
:18:33. > :18:35.good race for the other medals assuming he is given the gold or
:18:36. > :18:39.that he earns the gold. There's a silver and bronze up for grabs, I
:18:40. > :18:44.think it's very close for those medals and it's a toss-up as to who
:18:45. > :18:50.might actually take those. Good talk to you Michael. Thank you very much.
:18:51. > :18:56.The rest of this athletes team with Gabi Logan from around 12:30 year on
:18:57. > :19:00.BBC One. Here are some of the events you can look forward to: The
:19:01. > :19:07.decathlon reaching it conclusion, semifinals of the men's 1,500m. The
:19:08. > :19:12.final of the women's javelin. And the women's 400 hurdles. Remember we
:19:13. > :19:15.got Jade Jones at 2 o'clock. It's Jade Jones at the Taekwondo at 2
:19:16. > :19:21.o'clock. Usain Bolt and Adam Gemili and the rest in the men's 200 at
:19:22. > :19:25.2:30. On to cycling now, of course, all
:19:26. > :19:31.the attention has been on the velodrome over the past few days.
:19:32. > :19:36.But today, the focus was on BMX and in particular it was on Liam
:19:37. > :19:44.Phillips. This is how his quarterfinal went.
:19:45. > :19:55.Here we go. The first raise for Phillips from Great Britain. Away
:19:56. > :20:00.they go, good start from Liam Phillips. Over the triples they go
:20:01. > :20:05.into turn 1. Liam Phillips just forced out a little bit wide by
:20:06. > :20:12.Graph. Phillips has gone down. He's crashed on his first run. Three
:20:13. > :20:15.riders taken out. And now the field immediately down to five here and
:20:16. > :20:20.the rider from Canada is racing away from this one and he's been followed
:20:21. > :20:25.all the way down the penultimate straight by the remnants of the
:20:26. > :20:31.field but it's the easiest victory that he could have and the German
:20:32. > :20:37.rider comes over the line in second place and then in third place,
:20:38. > :20:43.Jefferson Milano from Ecuador, and the South African rider fourth, but
:20:44. > :20:47.a disastrous start to his Olympic campaign here for Britain's Liam
:20:48. > :20:50.Phillips and the worry has to be whether that Olympic campaign has
:20:51. > :20:57.already come to an end. And it had come to an end. It was a
:20:58. > :21:01.horrible crash for Phillips, the 2013 world champion was expected to
:21:02. > :21:05.be one of the contenders here in Rio, but he suffered - it was
:21:06. > :21:09.horrible to watch again. He suffered mild concussion. So Chris put a
:21:10. > :21:14.tweet out that the conditions were not ideal today. There were strong
:21:15. > :21:18.winds - in his words, "Less than perfect track." As you can see, a
:21:19. > :21:26.wheel of a competitor's bike actually hit Liam after he had come
:21:27. > :21:31.off and he was understandably led away with concussion although he has
:21:32. > :21:37.tweeted later on this evening, "I'm OK. Thanks for all the messages." He
:21:38. > :21:43.is there in his GB kit in a hospital bed.
:21:44. > :21:48.Now, tomorrow night from 9:30 on BBC One, we have the women's hockey
:21:49. > :21:51.final. It is of course Team GB taking on the netherlands, we'll
:21:52. > :21:55.have that game live and in full for you. Tonight it was the men's hockey
:21:56. > :22:01.final. Two surprise finalists really hear in Belgium who were the sixth
:22:02. > :22:15.seeds taking on Argentina who are the seventh seed, your commentators
:22:16. > :22:23.were match Hilton and Simon Mason. Oh, they got it. What a start for
:22:24. > :22:26.Belgium. Scored! He was in the right place at the right time, put his
:22:27. > :22:34.stick in the way. The ball found the goal. Belgium won! -- Belgium one,
:22:35. > :22:38.Argentina nil. Don't throw your stick away, you might need it again.
:22:39. > :22:46.Argentina with the first penalty corner of the match. Draws back
:22:47. > :22:53.inside. Oh, he has let it slip and the goal is awarded. He took the car
:22:54. > :23:02.ner but it was pounced upon to be pushed past. Belgium 1, Argentina 1.
:23:03. > :23:03.Into the circle again, high ball, Argentina have control. Argentina
:23:04. > :23:14.have scored! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:23:15. > :23:19.Argentina 2, Belgium 1. The great men for umpiring, touched inside,
:23:20. > :23:30.flicked across to Nash, Cortez brings it down. Ortiz just drives it
:23:31. > :23:35.across. Belgium 1, Argentina 2. They're lined up. Might be something
:23:36. > :23:42.more traditional here. Give it to Gonzalo. And he scores, that's what
:23:43. > :23:55.he does - time and time again. He gets nowhere near it. Gonzalo gives
:23:56. > :24:02.Argentina a 3-1 lead. Gunia releases it again. Oh, what a goal. What an
:24:03. > :24:09.incredible piece of individual skill from him. Pick-up, looks up, tucks
:24:10. > :24:16.it inside, takes it to the hair, doesn't have time for a long swing,
:24:17. > :24:21.look at the foot rotation here, round, bang, past the player, what a
:24:22. > :24:25.goal! He's scoring an astonishing goal that brings Belgium back into
:24:26. > :24:33.the game. A bit of basketball, bit after cricket, bit of everything
:24:34. > :24:40.there. Three minutes left in the gold medal match. The goalkeeper is
:24:41. > :24:44.heading off. Belgium are bringing on an extra outfield player and taking
:24:45. > :24:48.another player off. Will be without a goalkeeper for the last two
:24:49. > :24:54.minutes and 56 seconds of the gold medal match. Argentina in
:24:55. > :25:05.possession. No goalkeeper for Belgium remember! 30 seconds left on
:25:06. > :25:10.the clock. ', there's a wide open goal here! And there it is!
:25:11. > :25:20.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Sits down in the goal - 4-2. It was
:25:21. > :25:25.Mazzilli who has the simplest of opportunities presented to him by
:25:26. > :25:33.the lack of Belgium's goalkeeper. They tried to get it across, they
:25:34. > :25:46.had to go lateral. The ball popped up, Mazzilli keeps bouncing. There's
:25:47. > :25:50.a suggestion there,. Great celebrations for Carlos, the blue
:25:51. > :25:58.and white-clad fans with their flags an banners. They're jumping for joy.
:25:59. > :26:06.Argentina can celebrate last. They are the Olympic hockey champions
:26:07. > :26:12.with a 4-2 victory over Belgium. There were plenty of Argentinians
:26:13. > :26:15.celebrating across Rio with that win and just to reiterate, it was 9
:26:16. > :26:20.o'clock tomorrow. Netherlands against Great Britain, the women's
:26:21. > :26:26.hockey final, that is 9 o'clock and we'll be m live on BBC One.
:26:27. > :26:29.I thought I'd leave my big mistake until the end!
:26:30. > :26:33.(LAUGHTER) You were doing so well. Going all so
:26:34. > :26:45.well. You walked in and I fell apart. You had a good day. You were
:26:46. > :26:49.with the Brownlees. I was sweating watching them doing the film today.
:26:50. > :26:52.I lost half a stone, can you tell? I couldn't get into this suit when I
:26:53. > :26:56.got here. Looking good. Thank you very much indeed. A good evening to
:26:57. > :27:00.you, we got lots of great live sport for you. Track and field, and a bit
:27:01. > :27:09.of wrestling and Taekwondo. This is what's coming up.
:27:10. > :27:14.So we will be live to see if a Taekwondo player, Jade Jones, can
:27:15. > :27:20.defend her 57 kilo title. She fights for gold at 2:00am against a tough
:27:21. > :27:23.Spanish rival. Usain Bolt, meanwhile, wants to take
:27:24. > :27:30.his tally to eight in tonight's 200m final.
:27:31. > :27:37.Canada's Andre De Grasse might have something to say about that,
:27:38. > :27:47.however. Adam Gemili is the great British
:27:48. > :27:58.hope in that 200m showdown. The 400m hurdles final features
:27:59. > :28:06.Britain Eilidh Doyle. As for the fellow Scot, Lindsay Sharp, she's in
:28:07. > :28:13.800m action. She will line up in the same semifinal as the overwhelming
:28:14. > :28:21.favourite for gold Caster Semenya. And Charlie Grice takes to the track
:28:22. > :28:24.in the 1,500m semifinals. We have got a lot of sport for you tonight.
:28:25. > :28:28.Right across the Olympic games this evening. This is available on BBC
:28:29. > :28:32.Four right now. We got a bit of basketball for you and a lot of
:28:33. > :28:35.smiling by the looks of it as well! It's the United States against
:28:36. > :28:39.France and there's a man who seems to be tapping his head - not too
:28:40. > :28:43.sure what's going on there. However, if you want some BBC Four action, US
:28:44. > :28:49.against France, that's available for you. Don't forget great coverage for
:28:50. > :28:53.you BBC Radio Live and the BBC sports app. So we cannot wait for
:28:54. > :28:57.Taekwondo later on. Can Jade Jones retain her Olympic title? We shall
:28:58. > :29:01.find out later. We got so much sport for you this evening, but we cannot
:29:02. > :29:08.wait for the athletes. Let's join Gabi and the team at the Olympic
:29:09. > :29:16.Stadium. Time - the measure of mankind. Our
:29:17. > :29:28.master. Ruling over us. Precyst tent. -- persistent. Unrelenting. A
:29:29. > :29:34.world record has gone. This man surely is... Waiting for no one. A
:29:35. > :29:39.new world record for Usain Bolt. We can't control it. We can't turn it
:29:40. > :29:46.back. Usain Bolt has false-started. Yet, we fight it. Will be all about
:29:47. > :29:50.Michael Johnson at the front. Try to break it. Johnson storming away.
:29:51. > :30:00.It's the past. The world record beckons and it's gone! 43.18. The
:30:01. > :30:01.present... He takes it and Michael Johnson's record has gone. The
:30:02. > :30:16.future... Time. Time is everything. Time certainly is a very big factor
:30:17. > :30:19.in this sport and I hope you're going to have a very good time
:30:20. > :30:22.tonight because we have a fantastic evening ahead of us. And I'm
:30:23. > :30:26.delighted that Paula and Denise and Michael are alongside me to enjoy
:30:27. > :30:30.it, and if you could pick one thing tonight looking forward to, Michael,
:30:31. > :30:35.what is it going to be? I'm looking forward to the 200m race that's
:30:36. > :30:39.going to happen behind Usain Bolt. (LAUGHTER)
:30:40. > :30:42.I think there's going to be a battle for those other medals, and it's
:30:43. > :30:48.going to be interesting. That's the problem with Bolt - if there's a
:30:49. > :30:52.problem with him he takes attention away and sucks up all the air in the
:30:53. > :30:56.room. But there are other guys there who want a medal. We'll look at your
:30:57. > :31:02.analysis in a bit of time. Denise? I think for me the other great athlete
:31:03. > :31:06.that will be finishing tonight is Ashton Eaton in the men's decathlon,
:31:07. > :31:12.he's one of the unsung heros in the sport. We got a huge character like
:31:13. > :31:17.Usain, but he's on for another Olympic medal and he's - gruelling
:31:18. > :31:21.two days for these guys. They had no time to stop and breathe and take in
:31:22. > :31:28.just how tired they really are. Had to keep going and going. It would be
:31:29. > :31:32.nice to see him get decorated tonight Paula? There's all the
:31:33. > :31:37.things we have talked about. The women's 400m hurdles final and I
:31:38. > :31:42.think also women's 800m semifinals and men's 1,500m semifinals. I want
:31:43. > :31:45.to see our guys and girls move through those tough semifinals. OK.
:31:46. > :31:49.Let's put that all into context for you and show you how the evening is
:31:50. > :31:54.shaping up. The roar you heard behind me there were for the men in
:31:55. > :31:59.the men's shot put final being introduced to the crowd. At 12:45 is
:32:00. > :32:04.those semifinals that Paula was talking about. Charlie Grice and
:32:05. > :32:10.Chris O'Hare going in that. The women's javelin finals going from
:32:11. > :32:15.1:10, and the women's 800m. And the decathlon comes to a dramatic - it
:32:16. > :32:22.always is. They do look like the wounded warriors when they go around
:32:23. > :32:26.the 1,500m. And the women's hurdles finals with Doyle in the line-up at
:32:27. > :32:31.2:15. And then there's the small matter of Usain Bolt attempting to
:32:32. > :32:37.win his eighth Olympic gold medal at 2:30. However, there is also a Jade
:32:38. > :32:41.Jones going and her fight is - her gold medal fight is at 2 o'clock in
:32:42. > :32:45.the morning. So we will be going over there and you will get that
:32:46. > :32:50.live here on BBC One - have no fear. But, of course, that 200m is the one
:32:51. > :32:55.for the evening, potentially the last time we will see Usain Bolt
:32:56. > :33:00.running a 200m. Certainly an Olympic 200m. Through the ages there have
:33:01. > :33:13.been some classic 200m races. Let's have a walk back in the archives.
:33:14. > :33:21.# All this time... There they go, there's Bobby Smithers. Also going
:33:22. > :33:23.well the lane two, Bobby from America going well and Bobby from
:33:24. > :33:39.America. Demonstrating clearly to the world
:33:40. > :33:48.there that he is the supreme sprinter.
:33:49. > :33:53.Away they go. First time. He's passed him on the bend. Landed on
:33:54. > :34:01.the inside, he's one of the magnificent men. He's trying to
:34:02. > :34:11.close that gab. And he's hanging on! But the gap is closing. But Manaia
:34:12. > :34:18.from Italy gets there. A beautiful start. They got away
:34:19. > :34:24.have smoothly and look at him. Carl Lewis is away. Carl Lewis leading
:34:25. > :34:31.and being chased by the Brazilian. Carl Lewis all the way. Third place
:34:32. > :34:44.is Jefferson of America. And Lewis wins this. Baptists second. 19.81!
:34:45. > :34:51.Away, look at the background. Usual Johnson is blistering away. Lane 6
:34:52. > :34:58.is Boulton and Fredericks but it's Johnson. And Johnson is going away!
:34:59. > :35:08.Johnson by yards! Johnson wins his second gold.
:35:09. > :35:14.They get away and left in the blocks of USA, and Malcolm is right there
:35:15. > :35:24.as well. Bolden just in the lead as they come into the bend. And here
:35:25. > :35:27.come Campbell. He's going to get there and Bolden probably third.
:35:28. > :35:41.Silver medal for Campbell. Wow! Away they go, and Usain Bolt already
:35:42. > :35:45.going past Zengai as if he wasn't there, blasting around that top end,
:35:46. > :35:53.bolt belt bolt, Dick running into second place. Trying to hang on to
:35:54. > :35:56.the tall Jamaican. What's the time? It's gold for Usain Bolt! World
:35:57. > :36:01.record, I do not believe it! Absolutely brilliant.
:36:02. > :36:12.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It's a clean start, Bolt is out of
:36:13. > :36:18.the start really well. Look at Bolt go! It's a three metres lead and
:36:19. > :36:26.they're coming to the home straight. They're not going to catch him. Bolt
:36:27. > :36:32.is going to do it again. Gold all the way!
:36:33. > :36:39.We were saying to you just a bit earlier - I love the 200m. I think
:36:40. > :36:43.more than the 100m because of the bend and because it's a bit longer
:36:44. > :36:48.and you get to enjoy it a bit longer, but also it's got those gear
:36:49. > :36:53.changes that make it a bit more - think a little bit more. You can sit
:36:54. > :36:57.back and enjoy it a bit longer than you can than the 100m. We're sitting
:36:58. > :37:01.here, you can. But you can enjoy the 200m. It's a beautiful event, like
:37:02. > :37:06.you said coming around the bend, gives it a bit more visual interest
:37:07. > :37:09.and it's - you know, how you actually transition from running
:37:10. > :37:15.around the bend on to the straight, two completely different components
:37:16. > :37:21.of the race in terms of bio mechanics. It's a beautiful race to
:37:22. > :37:25.watch. Let's look at the racers, but also at Bolt as well. But we'll head
:37:26. > :37:35.out to Steve because there's some news developing in the decathlon.
:37:36. > :37:39.The penultimate event of the decathlon is the javelin, there's
:37:40. > :37:49.Kevin Mayer of France is having the event of his life. This is the first
:37:50. > :37:54.round throw, it was his best. Absolutely smashed it across the two
:37:55. > :38:01.days. Five life-time bests coming into this javelin. Lifetime best is
:38:02. > :38:06.66m, he's just shy of that. He's going to break the French record
:38:07. > :38:18.quite comfortably. 1,500m, the only event to come. Kevin Mayer 65.0 4.
:38:19. > :38:21.That was his best of the three. So Ashton Eaton absolutely superb
:38:22. > :38:27.across the two days as well. It hasn't been the runaway victory that
:38:28. > :38:31.many talks about but it's been convincing, his coach there, Harry,
:38:32. > :38:39.behind. Javelin withdrawn. Round 3 was his best - big scream from the
:38:40. > :38:44.reigning champion. Bang on 60m. It was measured at 59point 77. --
:38:45. > :38:50.59.77. And that would be enough just to keep him in the lead, but Mayer
:38:51. > :38:56.closing down the gap, five metres difference - the Frenchman. Five
:38:57. > :39:04.metres better than Eaton's best in that third round.
:39:05. > :39:13.The man currently in third place overall is Damian Warner of Canada.
:39:14. > :39:25.And his best was also in the third round. Took him the three throws to
:39:26. > :39:33.get him over the 60m mark. 63.19. So it looks as though the medals are
:39:34. > :39:39.maybe set after these three throws. Long couple of days and Warner may
:39:40. > :39:44.have toll settle for a bronze. Just the 1,500m to decide where the
:39:45. > :39:52.medals are going to be allocated. Warner then 63.19.
:39:53. > :39:57.Once all the points were tallied, put in the system, there you can see
:39:58. > :40:04.the total points after nine events. Ashton Eaton as anticipated out in
:40:05. > :40:09.front but only a 44 point lead over Kevin Mayer and that equates to
:40:10. > :40:17.about 6.5 seconds over 1,500m. Amade of Warner, just the -- ahead of
:40:18. > :40:21.Warner, just the 1,500m left. Is there any danger that Ashton
:40:22. > :40:27.Eaton might not retain this gold? I don't think so. I mean, if he has to
:40:28. > :40:31.run for it, he really will and he's capable of doing that. Let's not
:40:32. > :40:36.jinx him. Going to be very exciting. Going to be a rate, not a formality,
:40:37. > :40:40.though. No, gone are the days when you see the likes of Dally Thompson
:40:41. > :40:45.just about to cruise around. This will be a proper race, I can
:40:46. > :40:48.guarantee it. That's just as well to cruise around because he didn't have
:40:49. > :40:53.much of a 1,500m. I can say that, because he's not here. He'll be
:40:54. > :40:57.Tweeting. Let's go back to the 200m and have a look at Bolt. I know you
:40:58. > :41:02.got some analysis to look for us. For Bolt, this was interesting in
:41:03. > :41:06.his semifinal, we didn't see the interaction with the crowd and the
:41:07. > :41:09.jubilant nature that he normally displays, this was yesterday
:41:10. > :41:13.morning. Bolt told us before he's not a morning person, but he's OK
:41:14. > :41:17.around the bend and I expected him to come off a little bit more of a
:41:18. > :41:22.lead here. A decent lead at this point, but not much over Andre De
:41:23. > :41:26.Grasse there. And Adam Gemili, he opens it up a little bit and thinks,
:41:27. > :41:31.he can relax. De Grasse actually pushed him to the finish line and
:41:32. > :41:35.there was a bit of playing around and that sort of thing going on, but
:41:36. > :41:39.this ended up actually impacting the final that we're going to see
:41:40. > :41:46.tonight because De Grasse ends up in lane 4, Bolt ends up in lane 6 with
:41:47. > :41:49.both of his main rivals being Andre De Grasse and LaShawn Merritt on the
:41:50. > :41:54.inside of him. That was last night, wasn't it? That was yesterday
:41:55. > :41:59.morning. I thought - sorry. Or last night? Sorry. They had 24 hours.
:42:00. > :42:03.Yeah, they had 24 hours. But he just wasn't in a real best, you know,
:42:04. > :42:09.mood yesterday and he said he felt a little tire and sluggish. So it
:42:10. > :42:12.showed there. Let's see what he does tonight. He turned down the volume
:42:13. > :42:16.on the razzmatazz. That was interesting to see and he commented
:42:17. > :42:19.afterwards he felt a little tired, didn't feel the pop he normally
:42:20. > :42:23.does. But based on what we saw earlier today on the warm-up track,
:42:24. > :42:31.there's lot of pop going on today. Yeah, the girls might have seen
:42:32. > :42:37.that. He was - Michael was chatting earlier with Mark Chapman and Usain
:42:38. > :42:40.Bolt was doing the alley shuffle. Probably some sort of reggae getting
:42:41. > :42:44.his body. Into the groove. You can tell us what you think, Denise when
:42:45. > :42:48.you see the moves what he was listening to. But give it a couple
:42:49. > :42:52.of seconds, you'll see the footwork, prelty good. Yeah, he's ready. He's
:42:53. > :42:57.clearly ready. Fancy-feet! He's going to need it around those bend,
:42:58. > :43:00.isn't he. Got some skills. Got some skills.
:43:01. > :43:03.(LAUGHTER) He's just so shy! Let's...
:43:04. > :43:07.(LAUGHTER) Let's move on to LaShawn Merritt
:43:08. > :43:11.who, of course, got the bronze in the 400m, he was disappointed with
:43:12. > :43:14.that, but he's let the world know he's here for this 200m. I don't
:43:15. > :43:18.know how disappointed he actually was with the 400m. I think he
:43:19. > :43:22.expected to get a medal. He wanted to win it, after, you know, a world
:43:23. > :43:25.record was run, he probably wasn't as disappointed but I think he's
:43:26. > :43:31.turned his attention to this event, the 200m. Go the fastest time in the
:43:32. > :43:35.world this year still, and he ran very well here and using that 400m
:43:36. > :43:39.strength that he has, he doesn't blaze around the turn like you might
:43:40. > :43:44.see a Usain Bolt do, but he's able to run a really good solid race from
:43:45. > :43:48.start to finish, using that strength, he's very powerful, and
:43:49. > :43:53.very tough - very tough competitor. He believes in himself, he knows he
:43:54. > :44:00.can run longer than anyone else in the race because of his 400m prow
:44:01. > :44:03.ess, the 400m man, and this goes back to high school and college. He
:44:04. > :44:07.actually ran the 200m in high school. So you know, he has that
:44:08. > :44:10.experience and he will - he will see this as an opportunity to do
:44:11. > :44:14.something special in the sport - winning a medal. We will talk more
:44:15. > :44:17.about the 200m later. Look at the other contenders in the field,
:44:18. > :44:22.including Adam Gemili and Alonso Edward. And Paula, there's Charlie
:44:23. > :44:26.Grice out there for the first 1,500m semifinals. Lucky to be there in
:44:27. > :44:35.many ways. Yes. He is definitely lucky to be there. Ingebrigtsen
:44:36. > :44:38.deserved to be disqualified. He needs to run his best here today
:44:39. > :44:44.because it is a tough semifinal. Well, he has another role of the
:44:45. > :44:47.dice. Let's see if he can use it. Steve Cram and Brendan Foster are
:44:48. > :44:52.your commentators for this one. This isn't going to be easy for
:44:53. > :44:56.Charlie Grice or for Chris O'Hare. Two fiefls, first -- semifinals,
:44:57. > :45:02.first five in each and two fastest losers. Charlie in this first one
:45:03. > :45:12.and Philip Ingebrigtsen, the younger brother of Henrik Ingebrigtsen, in
:45:13. > :45:15.fact, all although Henrik Ingebrigtsen is more well-known, his
:45:16. > :45:21.brother is running past him. Charlie was fading badly and probably a bit
:45:22. > :45:31.fortunate to have been advanced. The German was advanced as well. Got 13
:45:32. > :45:44.in both races, only 12. So let's look at the shot put, though, Steve.
:45:45. > :45:50.Early lead, the competitor from Congo. The world leader of over 22m.
:45:51. > :45:57.Big response from the American. World champion last year screams!
:45:58. > :46:02.Around the Olympic Stadium, the big men are out and they want people to
:46:03. > :46:17.know about it. Kovacs close to the 22m line there. It's 21.78, that
:46:18. > :46:24.takes the lead. Let's quickly look at the start. The shot put final
:46:25. > :46:27.going on, of course. Lots of names you'll recognise, Nick Willis,
:46:28. > :46:31.Ingebrigtsen, getting back into good form f you like. Seurei is in here,
:46:32. > :46:39.former Kenyan running for bar rain, could be a danger. Iguider, Olympic
:46:40. > :46:47.medallist. And the champion from 2008 and the champion from 2012,
:46:48. > :46:51.Makhloufi. Add people in there from Blankenship. But this is a tough
:46:52. > :46:55.semi. There's arguing to be the 1,500m semifinals, we saw with the
:46:56. > :47:03.women, the standard how high it is. Makhloufi won a silver medal in the
:47:04. > :47:08.800m could well challenge. So Kiprop, though, looks a little
:47:09. > :47:14.nervous. They will trust their pace at the end. All these guys can
:47:15. > :47:17.sprint. That's why they're 4 in the semifinal including Charlie, he's
:47:18. > :47:24.got to put what happened in the heats to the back of his mind. I'm
:47:25. > :47:35.sure he has done. Ingebrigtsen, European champion back in Olympic
:47:36. > :47:41.year 2012. Nick Willis, well, he sacheted his way. And Iguider can
:47:42. > :47:45.finish quickly as well. And this man can be very dangerous in the rounds,
:47:46. > :47:52.he doesn't have the - such quick times although he has run a new
:47:53. > :47:59.national record this year of 3.33.36. But the Czech Republic
:48:00. > :48:10.competitor can sprint as well. 1,500m semifinal. As ever, we'll see
:48:11. > :48:13.them sprint off the line and then just curious as to see whether
:48:14. > :48:17.anybody really wants to settle and make this a little bit quick. Kiprop
:48:18. > :48:24.at the back. Ingebrigtsen at the back, didn't sprint off the line.
:48:25. > :48:29.Little bit of a jog, if you think back to the women's 1,500m final, it
:48:30. > :48:34.became on edge in the middle race. So many of these guys can sprint.
:48:35. > :48:37.Grice learnt a lesson in the heats that everybody can sprint. So
:48:38. > :48:41.sometimes - I don't think Charlie will want to go to the front, of
:48:42. > :48:44.course he won't, but just has to be really aware, get himself in the
:48:45. > :48:49.best position possible when they get in the last two laps. After watching
:48:50. > :48:53.him the over day in the first round and that - I thought he was fading
:48:54. > :48:57.in the later stages. I'm very nervous. This is a tough
:48:58. > :49:00.qualification. You got two Olympic champions, you got two Olympic
:49:01. > :49:04.medallists, two your Honour champions in this race. And there's
:49:05. > :49:07.only five to go through in the first lap has been pretty pedestrian
:49:08. > :49:11.there. 63 seconds, so they're now beginning to move along. You got to
:49:12. > :49:15.do that. I think the faster race will suit Charlie Grice but there he
:49:16. > :49:22.is settling down, at least they're going at a reasonable pace, that
:49:23. > :49:26.means less problems, going to get less frubl bumping into one another.
:49:27. > :49:32.And Kiprop out the back, probably the favourite. He is the favourite
:49:33. > :49:36.but Makhloufi is in there, Willis, Iguider is there. They're all
:49:37. > :49:45.medallist in the 1,500m in the Olympic Games. Four medallist in
:49:46. > :49:51.this game alone. Kaazouzi steps to one side. Blankenship happy to glide
:49:52. > :49:55.through. Two laps to go. Normally they start to speed up here because
:49:56. > :49:59.they went fast they slowed again, this is now going to become as ever
:50:00. > :50:03.a big sprint over the last 5 or 600m. Charlie is in a bad place
:50:04. > :50:07.there. This is the lap he needs to get himself in a better place than
:50:08. > :50:11.that. It's a test of nerves. It's a test of physical demand. Not yet,
:50:12. > :50:15.though. It will be fast and fast and fast, and he's got to make his move.
:50:16. > :50:18.So there they go. Down the back straight, Charlie Grice on the
:50:19. > :50:22.inside. Surrounded by talent - surrounded by people who are faster
:50:23. > :50:26.than him, surrounded by people who have run better 1,500m than him.
:50:27. > :50:31.Right now he's in the middle. Not even in a good position there. Going
:50:32. > :50:35.to have to do an awful amount of work. Needs a bit of a break to get
:50:36. > :50:39.lucky here. He's in a bad spot there, but you can't panic now. Too
:50:40. > :50:43.many bodies around, as Seurei is the first to break and then the gaps
:50:44. > :50:46.will come. Charlie just dipped back inside there. Following Nick Willis
:50:47. > :50:52.as they come around to take the bell. They come to the bell and here
:50:53. > :50:56.comes Asbel Kiprop, former Olympic champion on the other outside. And
:50:57. > :51:00.Makhloufi in the green vest. You can see them lining across three
:51:01. > :51:04.abreast. Right in the middle there is Charlie Grice as they go through
:51:05. > :51:08.three laps here. That was faster, and now they're really stretching.
:51:09. > :51:13.And he is fit, he is strong. He's got a bit of a chance. Kiprop
:51:14. > :51:16.gliding down the back straight, Blankenship moves, Charlie Grice
:51:17. > :51:22.looking for some room on the inside and he gets it. Willis not out of
:51:23. > :51:26.this yet. Top five only to go through. Can't be guaranteed a time
:51:27. > :51:32.at this place. Makhloufi looking comfortable. Iguider looking good.
:51:33. > :51:35.Charlie Grice is going to have to dig deep. Can't get past
:51:36. > :51:38.Blankenship. A gap opens up for him. Kiprop is there. Charlie still
:51:39. > :51:40.there. Got to hang in right to the line. Makhloufi, Willis,
:51:41. > :51:50.Blankenship, Iguider, Charlie Grice fifth. Makes it! 3.39.74. Well done,
:51:51. > :51:55.Charlie. He may have been fortunate to make it through. What he didn't
:51:56. > :51:59.do is, as I said to the bell, is not panic. He realised it was in a not
:52:00. > :52:03.good position, and when you're in that position, you cross your
:52:04. > :52:07.fingers and you hope go things happen for him, plane Dan - he's
:52:08. > :52:11.managed to sneak through, past your eye at 200 to go. If that had been
:52:12. > :52:14.blocked off, he was finished. If Blankenship had not finished as
:52:15. > :52:18.strongly in the home straight, then Charlie would have struggled as well
:52:19. > :52:23.to recover from. He's now seen it. He's 4 in the Olympic final. Huge
:52:24. > :52:27.relief and a huge achievement as we. Well done Charlie. A real
:52:28. > :52:30.achievement by Charlie Grice. And John, being his coach, they must
:52:31. > :52:34.have been nervous the other day. They had some doubts about him the
:52:35. > :52:37.other day. But here he is. Into the Olympic final, got to be delighted
:52:38. > :52:43.with that. He really has worked hard for this. His strength, is probably
:52:44. > :52:46.better than his speed, but there he goes. As Steve was saying during
:52:47. > :52:50.commentary, he never got himself in a great position. He's in amongst
:52:51. > :52:54.the runners all around him, a push there which gave him a bit of a
:52:55. > :52:59.chance, a bit of a fortunate move through on the inside and look how
:53:00. > :53:05.far behind Kiprop is. As they stretch there now, as Kiprop, four
:53:06. > :53:08.runners abreast at this point, down the back straight, Charlie Grice got
:53:09. > :53:12.his first break. Blankenship on the bend, Kiprop on his shoulder and
:53:13. > :53:16.there the Olympic champion, Makhloufi alongside him, so there's
:53:17. > :53:20.no shortage of talent there. Certainly isn't, but there is a
:53:21. > :53:26.determination in charmy Grice. Look at that one - very, very lucky there
:53:27. > :53:31.to get a gap on the inside. He comes quickly there, Kiprop coasting,
:53:32. > :53:34.Makhloufi coasting, here comes Willis on the outside and
:53:35. > :53:40.Blankenship just leaning forward and Charlie Grice, he wasn't sure about
:53:41. > :53:46.it, but he was fifth in that one, that was in the first five and the
:53:47. > :53:49.two fastest losers. But on the inside, Charlie Grice seeing his
:53:50. > :53:54.chance, he's got a chance. He's determined. That's what he's worked
:53:55. > :53:57.for. That's why he's trained so hard - to get there. Makhloufi and
:53:58. > :54:03.Kiprop, two Olympic champions ahead of him. Well done Charlie Grice and
:54:04. > :54:06.he's downstairs there talking with Phil.
:54:07. > :54:11.Thanks, Brendan. A big well done from Brendan and Steve. What a huge
:54:12. > :54:16.achievement it is. And you must feel it like it yourself? To come fifth
:54:17. > :54:21.place, when the pace was slow, I was kind of a bit nervous, but I knew my
:54:22. > :54:25.speed was good and I ran awful on Tuesday, I don't know what happened.
:54:26. > :54:29.I just told myself to stay patient and, yeah, glad I redeemed myself,
:54:30. > :54:34.because Tuesday wasn't me. And you took the inside track. I think the
:54:35. > :54:38.key there was not to panic. Yeah, it was. I mean, it was a definitely a
:54:39. > :54:44.fight of a finish there, but I told myself to stay on the inside, and a
:54:45. > :54:48.few times - people were cutting in and stuff so I was glad I stayed on
:54:49. > :54:52.my feet. Obviously you were bumped and barged as you were trying to
:54:53. > :54:55.finish the other day, and got back in after a protest, at that point,
:54:56. > :54:59.did you think your Olympic Games might be over? Yeah, it wasn't
:55:00. > :55:02.actually a protest. Apparently before they put the protest in, the
:55:03. > :55:07.judge said I was in straightaway. So I was pretty fortunate on that
:55:08. > :55:11.occasion. So just wanted to make sure proved myself today because
:55:12. > :55:16.there's been a lot of people getting protesting and getting advanced. So
:55:17. > :55:19.just glad that I was back to myself today and trusted my sprint. Olympic
:55:20. > :55:24.finalist, can you take it in? Amazing. It's bloody close, but,
:55:25. > :55:28.yeah, just thrilled. So, yeah, on to the final in two days. So rest up
:55:29. > :55:32.and going to be a cracker. Well done, Charlie, we wish you well for
:55:33. > :55:41.the final. Cheers, mate. So by 600th of a second, that's all.
:55:42. > :55:48.There you see the results - top five only to go through and that 3.40.05,
:55:49. > :55:52.a second semi to come. They would have seen that, they can go faster,
:55:53. > :55:58.but they probably might not. Remains to be seen.
:55:59. > :56:08.Looking forward to see what this man can do, Ryan Crouser, US champion,
:56:09. > :56:14.he's 6ft 7 and he rotated the shot. Tall man. That's over 22m! Ryan
:56:15. > :56:19.Crouser in the second round of the shot put, his team-mate - Kovacs -
:56:20. > :56:31.in the lead at the moment with 21.78. That am certainly - well it's
:56:32. > :56:36.beyond it. That's over the 22m line! Crouser - inexperience, no previous
:56:37. > :56:45.form to talk of T 23 years of age. Just given everyone something to
:56:46. > :56:49.talk about. 22.22m. Kiprop looked good in that first heat who was the
:56:50. > :56:54.strong favourite. And they have another contender here, Kenya.
:56:55. > :57:03.Should have had two in here, but Elijah Motonei Manangoi is out with
:57:04. > :57:23.a hamstring problem. Bronze over 800 in the world champions, he's got
:57:24. > :57:29.that kind of piece. Alongside him. There is Kwemoi. Just 20 and
:57:30. > :57:35.astonishing talent. A junior world record holder with 3.28 spnt 21 when
:57:36. > :57:40.he ran when he was 18. That was exactly the same mark as Mo Farah.
:57:41. > :57:43.Ryan Gregson, the Australian champion, showed very good speed
:57:44. > :57:59.down the home straight to qualify. And Matthew Centrowitz Jr world
:58:00. > :58:04.indoor champion. Silver in the Worlds in Moscow. Fourth in the
:58:05. > :58:09.Olympic time in London. But Chris O'Hare, he's called himself a bit of
:58:10. > :58:14.a terrier, he'll be in the right position. Invariably he is. Does he
:58:15. > :58:25.have the speed to leave here. Two fastest losers. We'll look for the
:58:26. > :58:29.pace for this one. O'Hare five from the front there and immediately
:58:30. > :58:38.taken out by the 23-year-old from Uganda. And in behind is Centrowitz
:58:39. > :58:43.and the Spaniard as well, Bustos. Here, we talk about tactics in the
:58:44. > :58:46.1500 and perhaps Grice doesn't get it right, but has great speed. Here
:58:47. > :58:57.always seems to get the tactics right. I think you're right there. I
:58:58. > :59:02.tell you what - it means seven of these athletes could go through,
:59:03. > :59:05.everyone one of these athletes have run faster than 3.40, that's
:59:06. > :59:09.immediately a little bit quicker than in the first round. That's
:59:10. > :59:13.sensible, and good running. In the middle there, having an easy run
:59:14. > :59:17.there, having a nice position, which seems to be less crowding there, as
:59:18. > :59:22.they go faster, coming through there with 59.6. This is clearly faster.
:59:23. > :59:26.This is a bigger advantage for this field. I think all seven of these
:59:27. > :59:35.could come from the two faster losers and the five could come from
:59:36. > :59:43.this eat. A big advantage as Kwemoi. And Manangoi has been ruled out with
:59:44. > :59:48.a hamstring injury. You could get se von going through from this one. The
:59:49. > :59:52.Canadian just steadying himself from the arm. They're slightly more
:59:53. > :59:55.stretched out then they were in the first semifinal. That's right.
:59:56. > :00:01.Running a good race here - Chris O'Hare. Just on the outside on the
:00:02. > :00:05.shoulder of Centrowitz who I would be sure would be qualifying from
:00:06. > :00:08.this one. There steady running, it's not hard running, pretty steady,
:00:09. > :00:12.probably a little slower than Chris O'Hare. Now deciding wants to take a
:00:13. > :00:16.bit closer. He's strong at the finish. He's going to put himself in
:00:17. > :00:20.with a chance of being and producing that finish and this is a good run
:00:21. > :00:25.from Chris O'Hare. Look for the pace here. And it's pretty much the same
:00:26. > :00:31.as the first one. They have slowed it down a bit. Just inside that. So
:00:32. > :00:38.perhaps might not be too fastest losers going through. And Centrowitz
:00:39. > :00:41.just realises, and edges forward. The pace continues to list. Sixth
:00:42. > :00:55.place at the moment with Chris O'Hare. Just easing his way on the
:00:56. > :00:58.inside of the runner. He niece a good position looks as though
:00:59. > :01:03.they're innu ins creasing their options of qualifying. Chris O'Hare
:01:04. > :01:11.doing well and following Centrowitz. So as they hit the bell, it's
:01:12. > :01:15.Suleman out the front. Just that little bit of extra distance to run.
:01:16. > :01:19.He just moved on that very quickly. A little bit pumped but I think he's
:01:20. > :01:23.now perfectly poised. If he's got the sprint finish, we know he has,
:01:24. > :01:27.he could qualify here. First five to go through automatically. They're
:01:28. > :01:31.all bunched up again and so many in context. O'Hare tries to make his
:01:32. > :01:37.move. This is where he likes to go from 250m out. Round the bend,
:01:38. > :01:41.gritting his teeth and digging in and setting that job. Nobody shows
:01:42. > :01:45.the effort more than O'Hare. Centrowitz looking comfortable.
:01:46. > :01:50.Kwemoi looking comfortable. Greek Greg, the Australian, has a fast
:01:51. > :01:56.finish. O'Hare goes at it again and doesn't have it in the legs. Suleman
:01:57. > :02:01.is there and Kwemoi and Gregson and the second American just holding
:02:02. > :02:06.off. It was Robbie Andrews for the fifth place. And O'Hare - O'Hare had
:02:07. > :02:11.nothing down the home straight and it's painful to watch. A man who's
:02:12. > :02:14.been to the finals of the World Championships didn't compete in
:02:15. > :02:18.London, desperately wanted to get to the final of an Olympic games. But
:02:19. > :02:21.despite giving everything, as he always does, and he puts himself in
:02:22. > :02:26.the right positions but he just didn't have the speed in the legs.
:02:27. > :02:31.He didn't do anything wrong in that race. He was perfectly poised at
:02:32. > :02:40.every point. He matched the pace, which really wasn't quick. The
:02:41. > :02:46.winner does 3.39. But there, a sad figure of Chris O'Hare, one of this
:02:47. > :02:51.large Scottish contingent presenting Great Britain here. He knows the
:02:52. > :02:55.Olympic final was a real potential for him and sadly, he's not going to
:02:56. > :03:02.experience it. There they go, there's the bell. Suleman takes it
:03:03. > :03:08.on. Centrowitz is following him in a good place all the time. Here, Chris
:03:09. > :03:14.O'Hare is perfectly positioned. He's on the outside. He can see what he's
:03:15. > :03:18.doing, the pace was strong enough at this point. And then just a little
:03:19. > :03:22.bit in the back straight, a little bit of fading there from Chris
:03:23. > :03:26.O'Hare and then an acceleration and I wonder if that's sudden
:03:27. > :03:29.acceleration actually is what - why he paid the price in the home
:03:30. > :03:34.straight. Centrowitz not a problem. And at that point, Chris O'Hare, you
:03:35. > :03:37.might have bet on him an at this point, but no, into the point, and
:03:38. > :03:42.then suddenly, it's gone and when it goes like that, the legs have gone,
:03:43. > :03:47.the fatigue is setting in, that burst of speed I think he's paid the
:03:48. > :03:53.price for and Gregson of Australia coming through, but there is Sulema
:03:54. > :03:58.in. A couple of other things to look out for - see Robbie Andrews there,
:03:59. > :04:02.he just about stepped on the rail on the inside of the track as he was
:04:03. > :04:06.trying to come dune. Just watch him here on the inside. He's trying to
:04:07. > :04:21.get around Gebremedhin. You just see his...
:04:22. > :04:29.He has locked him in with 200 to go. Barely made it through. He might
:04:30. > :04:35.make it through with the disqualification for Robbie Andrews.
:04:36. > :04:40.Another look at it. Chris O'Hare in the distance. Difficult to watch.
:04:41. > :04:45.His thoughts. Obviously you are disappointed not to have won the
:04:46. > :04:55.Olympic final. What didn't work? I am not sure. Umm... I was in the
:04:56. > :04:59.position. 200 to go. I thought find. And then I tried to turn it on in
:05:00. > :05:06.the last 100 and it just wasn't there. It was disappointing because
:05:07. > :05:12.I wanted to do so much better for my family and my team and everybody at
:05:13. > :05:17.home who is watching and tuning in. And it was just really disappointing
:05:18. > :05:25.for them as well as myself. I thought I was good enough but
:05:26. > :05:31.obviously not. You were in a great position. Tactically you get it spot
:05:32. > :05:38.on. Anything you would have done differently? No, I mean I think, I
:05:39. > :05:42.can't, obviously, I will have to go back and watch the race. But at the
:05:43. > :05:49.moment I don't feel I have done anything wrong. I tried my best. You
:05:50. > :05:53.know, I guess that is all I can do. But, you know, it was disappointing
:05:54. > :05:58.when I have put all this work in and I thought I was good enough and I
:05:59. > :06:05.am... I just wasn't. We appreciate you talking to us. Thank you. Chris
:06:06. > :06:09.O'Hare, still a reasonably young man, 25, I am sure he will be back
:06:10. > :06:16.to try again. And you can see the results there. And automatic
:06:17. > :06:21.qualifier for Robbie Andrews. And the Spaniard failed and couldn't get
:06:22. > :06:28.there to Robbie Andrews. More news to come for this one.
:06:29. > :06:32.APPLAUSE. The women's 400 metre hurdle final is coming up later on
:06:33. > :06:36.this evening. The men had their go this morning. One of the finals of
:06:37. > :06:49.the morning session. We shall take a look. Away safely this time. Thomas
:06:50. > :06:59.will have Clement to chase. Just a metre or two down. The two Kenyans
:07:00. > :07:05.going well. Thomas tried to stay in contact with the American. Chopping
:07:06. > :07:13.down on to the hurdle. Thomas will finish quickly. Don't write him off.
:07:14. > :07:20.It is Clement leading it. White is there. Thomas is a long way off. He
:07:21. > :07:27.will come charging down. Clement is checking into the final hurdle. Here
:07:28. > :07:45.comes the Kenyan! It will be close. Thomas not quite there. Clement the
:07:46. > :08:00.gold. Turkey took the bronze. It was a wonderful race. Thomas, just
:08:01. > :08:02.missing out by five hundredths of a second on what would have been a
:08:03. > :08:07.wonderful medal. Another Irish record in stead. A Kenyan record
:08:08. > :08:13.after the World Championships last year. And Olympic silver-medallist
:08:14. > :08:20.now. But, what a return to the top of the podium, literally, for Kerron
:08:21. > :08:26.Clement. He burst onto the scene as a youngster 10- 11 years ago. We
:08:27. > :08:30.thought he would be brilliant then. He went to take on the hurdles. All
:08:31. > :08:36.sorts of issues in his life and career which you have seen him come
:08:37. > :08:40.back in fine form from. What a performance from him. And event
:08:41. > :08:45.which we were worried about all year being maybe a little bit average, if
:08:46. > :08:50.you like. It turned out to be a little bit of a classic in the end.
:08:51. > :08:55.Puerto Rico with a false start and not able to contest it. Ireland just
:08:56. > :08:59.missing out on a medal. But the USA is once more on top in the 400 metre
:09:00. > :10:14.hurdles in the shape of Kerron Clement. AMERICAN ANTHEM PLAYS.
:10:15. > :10:26.AMERICAN ANTHEM PLAYS. APPLAUSE. That is the first time
:10:27. > :10:29.since Sydney, 2000, that all the medallists have run under 48 seconds
:10:30. > :10:36.in the Olympic final. An excellent race. But what about Clement! .
:10:37. > :10:45.Two-time world champion. The Olympic world champion in 400 metre hurdles.
:10:46. > :10:52.Great from him. Ryan took the wind out of everyone's sales with that
:10:53. > :11:01.world leading putt. 22 in the second round. Round three now. A big shout
:11:02. > :11:08.again. It is enormous! It is over 22 metres at again for Crouser! And the
:11:09. > :11:15.young man is putting together a series of his life. He is closing
:11:16. > :11:25.in, possibly, on the Olympic record, 22, 40 seven. That was 1988. Ryan
:11:26. > :11:40.Crouser, holding all the aces at the moment. What can Covax do was won is
:11:41. > :11:51.the world leader until this. Shy of 22 metres. Covack is left wanting.
:11:52. > :11:54.Is the bigger man, Ryan, the youngster... Neither of them have
:11:55. > :12:00.been to the Olympics before. Both of them are thriving. An incredible
:12:01. > :12:09.competition. A two-horse race as we wait for this distance to be
:12:10. > :12:20.measured. Incredible. What a beast is Crouser! And his competitor is
:12:21. > :12:26.not exactly a small man either. A powerful contest. Let us have a look
:12:27. > :12:31.at Charlie Grice in the 450 metres. Talk us through his tactics. This is
:12:32. > :12:35.a totally different Charlie Grice that turned up today than we saw
:12:36. > :12:42.racing in the heats the other day. He looked very pale the other day.
:12:43. > :12:48.Now he looks better. A lot of pushing and shoving. This heat wound
:12:49. > :12:53.up really well. Charlie Grice did get lucky, as was pointed out, in
:12:54. > :12:58.the, when we were watching it, he was lucky. He followed like a chip
:12:59. > :13:04.through. Because I can ship was moving quickly he got away through.
:13:05. > :13:11.-- Blankenship. He didn't panic. He could sense in coming up. He was
:13:12. > :13:18.lucky as Blankenship moved slightly wide. But Charlie Grice had the
:13:19. > :13:20.reaction he did not have the get himself up into third at one point
:13:21. > :13:26.and hold on for the qualifying position in fifth. At that point, he
:13:27. > :13:30.would not have been certain that the fastest loser would come through. I
:13:31. > :13:38.think the two fastest losers did come from that heat earlier on. He
:13:39. > :13:47.had to keep running very hard. Right through that. Even he wasn't sure.
:13:48. > :13:53.He was looking up at the rerun to make sure he got the fifth placed.
:13:54. > :14:04.The Olympic medal was already in his pocket. Blankenship, and Michael in
:14:05. > :14:07.particular, believes that they should be taught not to open the
:14:08. > :14:14.door and let other runners through. That was quite a big invitee from
:14:15. > :14:23.Blankenship, wasn't it? It was. But with fatigue you veer out. He was
:14:24. > :14:25.focusing on his race. And Robbie Andrews Schumacher disqualified in
:14:26. > :14:30.the second semi-final for taking steps on the infield to get past. --
:14:31. > :14:36.who may get disqualified. That was a nice invite into fifth. Yesterday he
:14:37. > :14:41.got through on appeal. This may be his championship. The 800 metres
:14:42. > :14:49.coming up soon. The semifinals. With the sharp presenting Great Britain.
:14:50. > :14:53.-- Lizzie Sharp. I think the first semi-final is the hardest and
:14:54. > :15:00.neither are in that. On paper you will look at that and see it is a
:15:01. > :15:06.tough one. But I think it is doable for Lindsay. She is in a much better
:15:07. > :15:10.shape. She executes races better. She puts herself in a better
:15:11. > :15:15.position. Looking to do that today, fingers crossed. I know you have to
:15:16. > :15:20.join and drew in the comment to box. If anyone can get there in time it
:15:21. > :15:25.will be used up -- Andrew. You have permission to leave. They are taking
:15:26. > :15:34.position on the track. The first heat of the semifinals. The first
:15:35. > :15:41.semi-final with Margaret and of course Wilson in there as well. I am
:15:42. > :15:49.doing well on my pronunciation tonight, I tell you. And Dibaba.
:15:50. > :15:54.There is a man who can pronounce these names better and his name is
:15:55. > :16:00.Andrew Cotter. This is a tough semi-final. If there are two women
:16:01. > :16:11.who could push Semenya in the semi-final, it is Wambui and
:16:12. > :16:15.another. A note on the 1500 metres we saw with Robbie Andrews, the
:16:16. > :16:20.American, that result has gone official for now. It might still
:16:21. > :16:24.change. But even American colleagues thought he would be disqualified.
:16:25. > :16:32.Perhaps more to come on that. Heading to the shotput. It years
:16:33. > :16:38.Ryan Crouser in the fourth round. The top eight only to progress to
:16:39. > :16:42.the second half of the competition. Round four. It is bang on that
:16:43. > :16:54.pretty to me the line again. One of the best series of putts I have seen
:16:55. > :16:58.ever. Ryan Crouser, we didn't know how he was going to handle the
:16:59. > :17:04.pressure. The champion ahead of Kovacs earlier this summer. Earlier
:17:05. > :17:09.than that it has in all Kovacs. Here are the games, the big one, big
:17:10. > :17:18.prizes on offer. No improvement for Ryan Crouser. The men's 200 metre
:17:19. > :17:24.final is in about 1.5 hours. Usain Bolt is of course going in that one.
:17:25. > :17:26.But we are ready for the first semi-final of the women's 800
:17:27. > :17:44.metres. We mentioned the two great strengths of, umm, of Margaret and
:17:45. > :17:52.Samba and Poland and Ukraine. There is you gunners. Took almost two
:17:53. > :18:00.seconds of her personal best. -- Uganda. The 21-year-old. There is
:18:01. > :18:14.Wilson, second in the US trials. Kate goes ahead of her. Wilson is
:18:15. > :18:18.carrying American hopes. There is her. She took the title in March in
:18:19. > :18:25.Oregon which is where she is now based. Only beaten by Semenya this
:18:26. > :18:32.year. The new 1500 metre champion, a slow race in Amsterdam last month,
:18:33. > :18:36.it played into her hands. And the Ukraine. The 800 metre champion of
:18:37. > :18:57.Europe after winning in Amsterdam. A slight surprise.
:18:58. > :19:09.The Italian, clean in March to run for her new country. The
:19:10. > :19:18.20-year-old, last year junior champion. A great run, her personal
:19:19. > :19:27.best, two-minute head got her to the semi-final. Wonderful conditions
:19:28. > :19:36.inside the stadium. The first of the 800m semi-final or the women. Seu to
:19:37. > :19:46.go through automatically passed to fastest losers.
:19:47. > :20:15.A great power in the later stages, looking to see if it is brisk in the
:20:16. > :20:41.early stages. Instead it. Good pace. Really, one of the favourites. It is
:20:42. > :21:05.a tough, tough heat. Wambui perhaps just biding her time. Beginning to
:21:06. > :21:13.make up time. Does Wilson have a response? The European champion
:21:14. > :21:22.looking for a fast finish. Niyonsaba is leading them out. Wambui looking
:21:23. > :21:30.around. The two come away. Wambui is going to take the victory. Niyonsaba
:21:31. > :21:34.easing over the line. The two we highlighted other two that go
:21:35. > :21:41.through automatically. Wambui with her great strength takes her win.
:21:42. > :21:50.Niyonsaba, looked around, let her have it. Wambui and Niyonsaba
:21:51. > :22:04.through to the final. As easy as they like. Wilson in third place
:22:05. > :22:06.held that position. Had a little bit of competition, Nataliya Pryshchepa
:22:07. > :22:13.came through but she needed this to be a little bit quicker. Only two
:22:14. > :22:19.fastest losers from the three semifinals and the others could go
:22:20. > :22:24.quicker than that. She looked like she was easing and relaxing. The two
:22:25. > :22:33.in front could but she needed to go as fast as she could stop Niyonsaba
:22:34. > :22:39.has a lot more to give. She is pushing hard once her work is done,
:22:40. > :22:50.a little look to Wambui, no one else in her periphery. Happy with second
:22:51. > :22:57.place. Always aware of where the third-place athlete is. Wilson will
:22:58. > :23:06.have to wait and see. Confirmation of that... Those times were not
:23:07. > :23:09.quite quick enough. For women under two minutes but will that be quick
:23:10. > :23:40.enough? I am not sure. Tom Walsh in the shotput. Round
:23:41. > :23:59.five. World indoor champion from New Zealand. Well, he opened. ... The
:24:00. > :24:04.second round in fact was his best. Trying to work out how close that is
:24:05. > :24:12.to the 22 metre line full great slow motion replays. Ten centimetre board
:24:13. > :24:22.in front of that, you cannot touch it, the top of it at least. He goes
:24:23. > :24:30.into third place. Ryan Crouser, look at that series! The last round just
:24:31. > :24:38.shy of 22 metres. We are in a round five. Oh, it is his best so far.
:24:39. > :24:46.Ryan Crouser has unleashed a massive throw in this fifth round. He has
:24:47. > :24:52.had three throws already that put him in the lead and he has just
:24:53. > :25:06.extended it at might challenge the Olympic record. It is indeed! 22.5
:25:07. > :25:13.to. Five centimetres on the Olympic record.
:25:14. > :25:24.Write down on the other end of the arena, the shop put. It is the
:25:25. > :25:35.second semifinals of the aid 100 metres and the first of the two
:25:36. > :25:44.British athletes,. Shelayna Oskan-Clarke. Lupu will finish fast.
:25:45. > :25:53.Remember, last year at the World Championship she got quicker and
:25:54. > :26:01.quicker. The 19-year-old Ethiopian, a good talent, Alemu and unknown
:26:02. > :26:15.quantity. The Swiss has had some great indoor races. Talking of 1.57,
:26:16. > :26:25.Melissa Bishop did that recently. Did that in a fast running fashion.
:26:26. > :26:34.The former champion, Sum not in great shape... I say not in great
:26:35. > :26:39.shape I have very high standards. A new personal best to make it into
:26:40. > :26:49.the semi. And an athlete who is very dangerous in slower races, Jozwik.
:26:50. > :26:58.What I am saying is, do not make it slow.
:26:59. > :27:06.Melissa Bishop started a very, very quickly with real intent already.
:27:07. > :27:23.They will probably go through the first 200 reasonably quick. Bishop
:27:24. > :27:31.coming alongside Sum. Through 200 in about just under 28th. A little bit
:27:32. > :27:35.quick in the first heat and it is an advantage to know what time you need
:27:36. > :27:41.in order to have a chance of advancing as the fastest loser.
:27:42. > :27:47.Shelayna Oskan-Clarke we know can do this, we know that she can run
:27:48. > :27:54.quickly and she may be glad it was taken out at a pace. Bishop of the
:27:55. > :28:01.danger here. A little bit quicker than the first heat, 57 point 55.
:28:02. > :28:09.They are all there. One too I thought may have shied. Sum
:28:10. > :28:17.controlling it with the youngster from Ethiopian, Alemu. Bishop
:28:18. > :28:28.looking for a little bit of room. Alemu closer to the front than she
:28:29. > :28:39.often is. Look at where Lupu is full of Shelayna Oskan-Clarke, Alemu at
:28:40. > :28:51.the front. Oskan-Clarke coming again. Bishop of Canada coming fast.
:28:52. > :28:58.The fast finishing pollen, Jozwik. He/she comes, a big finish from
:28:59. > :29:06.Jozwik. Bishop second. A faster rate than the first so I think third and
:29:07. > :29:21.fourth might have a chance, sadly Shelayna Oskan-Clarke came in fifth.
:29:22. > :29:27.A season best for Jozwik. What happened around the top end must
:29:28. > :29:34.have cost Shelayna Oskan-Clarke valuable time. Jozwik has come in
:29:35. > :29:44.really established herself as someone moving through. You see the
:29:45. > :29:47.stumble. That was the earlier blocking. As they come round with
:29:48. > :29:54.200 metres to go, Shelayna Oskan-Clarke in that position. She
:29:55. > :29:59.moved wide to go around Acra three and she lost the momentum and a
:30:00. > :30:05.little bit of the fight because she struggled to come back. If she had
:30:06. > :30:14.not lost that an that that momentum she could have pulled through.
:30:15. > :30:17.Melissa Bishop has turned up the burden is a little bit. She knows
:30:18. > :30:22.that she qualified with is about Shelayna Oskan-Clarke needed to keep
:30:23. > :30:48.fighting because she lost out on the last few strides. That was linked
:30:49. > :30:59.moving through. -- Lindt. Buchel in the fastest loser position. A huge
:31:00. > :31:05.disappointment. Lindt ran her to personal best, doing what Shelayna
:31:06. > :31:13.Oskan-Clarke did last time. Back to this great shotput final, Steve. The
:31:14. > :31:21.only man who can stop Ryan Crouser, Joe Kovacs. He is currently in the
:31:22. > :31:24.silver medal spot. He is a guarantee that because of this is the
:31:25. > :31:35.penultimate throw of the competition. Now, if ever he had to
:31:36. > :31:40.dig deep, this is the time. Crouser with one throw after this. Joe
:31:41. > :31:49.Kovacs trying to get everything he can. Last chance. Big screen but,
:31:50. > :31:56.no, it is below 22 metres. He will have to settle for silver and Ryan
:31:57. > :32:02.Crouser is the Olympic champion. Well, he will have his last throw,
:32:03. > :32:17.Crouser. Looks as though he may even go further. Randy Barnes holding the
:32:18. > :32:24.world record, 1990. Crouser a new superstar of shop put is born.
:32:25. > :32:31.Coached by Matt Wilson, the discus champion from 19 76. Asking for the
:32:32. > :32:43.support of the crowd. Can he go further? 22.52, the Olympic record
:32:44. > :32:51.in his last throw. What has he got now? His last throw. Well, it is not
:32:52. > :32:57.quite his best. Another long throw that probably could have won the
:32:58. > :33:04.competition. Probably five of his six throws could have won. At 26 in
:33:05. > :33:16.years of age, his first major. Ryan Crouser. An Olympic record in around
:33:17. > :33:20.five stop -- round five. After a slow start for the Americans, in
:33:21. > :33:27.this track and field, it is getting better and better. Success in the
:33:28. > :33:35.track and success in the shotput. And we will head back to the women's
:33:36. > :33:42.aid 100 metres in the third semi-final..
:33:43. > :33:50.Sharp goes here. And we can just have a look at what Lynsey needs to
:33:51. > :33:56.do. She's not in the top two. Shelayna Oskan-Clarkenot through.
:33:57. > :34:06.Neither is the world champion Joanna Jozwik. And Melissa Bishop -
:34:07. > :34:12.1.59.35. So the start list for the last of the semifinals in the
:34:13. > :34:16.women's 800m and Caster Semenya goes here, Lynsey Sharp is in there.
:34:17. > :34:17.Maryna Arzamasava of Belarus, just inside Lynsey Sharp there. Two go
:34:18. > :34:42.through automatically. As Amela Terzic from Serbia. More
:34:43. > :34:47.often a 1,500m runner. So Caster Semenya - 23 races this reason, I
:34:48. > :34:53.was looking to see, but 22 wins from 23. She did lose a 400m race in
:34:54. > :35:02.March in Pretoria, but apart from that - untouchable. Not just in 800.
:35:03. > :35:11.She's a very good 400m runner as well, and a 1,500m runner as well.
:35:12. > :35:17.Yarigo on the outside. Maybe struggling to deliver with very
:35:18. > :35:21.best. And the Winny Chebet, the Kenyan. She also had some records.
:35:22. > :35:27.Hasn't necessarily lived up to that enormous talent. There's Grace
:35:28. > :35:32.graust Grace, winner of the trials. The best in the US, Grace went
:35:33. > :35:44.through as one of the fastest losers. Caster Semenya such
:35:45. > :35:48.attention upon her. We saw how she finished the Monaco Diamond League,
:35:49. > :35:54.you understand why people are thinking she could get close
:35:55. > :35:58.sometime soon. Lynsey Sharp believes she's in the shape of her life.
:35:59. > :36:02.Certainly looking strong win the heats largely from the front. But
:36:03. > :36:05.Maryna Arzamasava a considerable threat, a world champion after
:36:06. > :36:17.taking that title in Beijing last year. Ready. Amela Terzic, a 1,500m
:36:18. > :36:22.specialist, but showed that strength to finish very quickly in the first
:36:23. > :36:28.round to take second place behind Lynsey Sharp. And Wang Chunyu in
:36:29. > :36:32.Lane 1. The 21-year-old who went below 2 minutes for the first time
:36:33. > :36:40.in her career. A very special moment for an 800m runner. So Lynsey Sharp
:36:41. > :36:45.is realistic. She knows you almost have to take Caster Semenya out of
:36:46. > :36:51.the equation and go to the places behind. Two automatic places but
:36:52. > :36:55.perhaps one here for everyone else. And Lynsey Sharp almost up alongside
:36:56. > :36:58.her after the gun waits, but not a concern for Semenya, she can win any
:36:59. > :37:03.which way she pleases. Now does Lynsey Sharp run this? A third in
:37:04. > :37:07.the semifinals. Looking for the place The third of the semifinals,
:37:08. > :37:13.they know what time they're aiming for. Not likely we see Caster
:37:14. > :37:18.Semenya go on the front and take the pace early on. I'm glad to see
:37:19. > :37:21.Arzamasava move to the front. Quicker than the previous two heats.
:37:22. > :37:25.That's good for Lynsey Sharp. That means she can react as she would do
:37:26. > :37:30.in a Diamond League race pretty much and she's been racing well all year.
:37:31. > :37:33.She can just keep a good position, be ready to react, at some point
:37:34. > :37:39.Semenya will go and go hard. Probably won't be until the last
:37:40. > :37:42.200m. I think Maryna Arzamasava, the world champion, has decided the
:37:43. > :37:47.options to qualifying in this one and take it through in brisk pace.
:37:48. > :37:52.Exactly the same time and that was quick enough, that second semifinal,
:37:53. > :37:58.so Arzamasava ahead of Lynsey Sharp and Semenya, just bouncing along in
:37:59. > :38:04.fifth place at the home. A good run from Yarigo, and Grace is there, and
:38:05. > :38:08.Chebet beginning to drop off, so too Chunyu and Terzic. Do they have
:38:09. > :38:11.something in the latter stages? Arzamasava, Lynsey Sharp looking
:38:12. > :38:16.strong at the moment. Arzamasava just beginning to fatigue slightly.
:38:17. > :38:20.Semenya is there and Grace beginning to make a move and perhaps Noelie
:38:21. > :38:24.Yarigo has gone. Two automatic places. Arzamasava looking around
:38:25. > :38:29.rather nervously. Lynsey Sharp is there. Semenya just appearing on her
:38:30. > :38:33.shoulder. Kate Grace hanging in. Two places they all tend to go a bit
:38:34. > :38:38.wide there. And Semenya eases her way around and Grace spots the door
:38:39. > :38:41.open inside Arzamasava but does she have the speed? Lynsey Sharp
:38:42. > :38:47.shutting her eyes and driving hard now for the second automatic
:38:48. > :38:50.qualifying place. Semenya takes it. Sharp has qual qual -- qualification
:38:51. > :38:54.and Grace looking for a time. But Lynsey Sharp, no concern, she does
:38:55. > :38:58.look good. She's looking strong. She is through to the final. She's
:38:59. > :39:02.looking good. What I like about Sharp this year is she doesn't panic
:39:03. > :39:06.when she gets into the trouble in the closing stages of the races. She
:39:07. > :39:10.did get in a bit of trouble there. She was a little bit lucky that the
:39:11. > :39:14.gap opened up but also clever in the way she was patient and waited. She
:39:15. > :39:18.didn't panic, waited for it to open up and when she did she struck and
:39:19. > :39:22.struck fast to be able to come through and claim that spot. Let's
:39:23. > :39:25.have a look at it again. Just looking at the times for Kate Grace.
:39:26. > :39:29.Kate Grace is going to go through, Arzamasava is going to go through.
:39:30. > :39:33.They all did their job to ensuring they'll be the two fastest losers in
:39:34. > :39:37.this semifinal. That thanks for the pace to Arzamasava's pace. She had
:39:38. > :39:41.four away already with 200m away. Yarigo slipping off the backend. All
:39:42. > :39:46.they needed to do is keep running hard and they would qualify as
:39:47. > :39:48.fastest losers but to have calculated that within the race,
:39:49. > :39:52.Lynsey Sharp hadn't done that, and she wanted to qualify outright in
:39:53. > :39:56.the first two. She waited patiently until a space opened up. You said
:39:57. > :40:00.Arzamasava has moved slightly wide and Grace saw that, came through and
:40:01. > :40:05.finished strong and ran far better than she did in the heat. She didn't
:40:06. > :40:11.look good at all in the meets, but here she looked good and came
:40:12. > :40:17.through. She seized that third place. And she came through to grab
:40:18. > :40:21.that third place which could have been significant but Caster Semenya
:40:22. > :40:23.very easy there. Just glance up on the screen, you can see the
:40:24. > :40:28.difference. Lynsey Sharp is working hard. She is looking slightly up at
:40:29. > :40:33.the screen to check, she's working hard right through to the line.
:40:34. > :40:38.Caster Semenya cruising those last few metres there. Semenya is a
:40:39. > :40:41.strong favour. Wambui is strong. But the chance of getting into the
:40:42. > :40:45.final, you may never know what will happen. Lynsey Sharp is through. She
:40:46. > :40:51.was a semifinalist in London four years ago. She is a finalist. Now
:40:52. > :40:54.she goes through with Caster Semenya, Kate Grace and Maryna
:40:55. > :40:57.Arzamasava also going through as the two fastest losers. And again, you
:40:58. > :41:01.can see what it means, she knows she's into the final, which is on
:41:02. > :41:03.Saturday and she's talking to Phil now.
:41:04. > :41:07.Just said to Lynsey, that result makes good reading. Olympic
:41:08. > :41:11.finalist. Must be a mixture of emotions right now, excitement, joy,
:41:12. > :41:17.a bit of relief as well, I suppose. Yeah, I mean, I have just been so
:41:18. > :41:20.looking forward to getting in that Q next to my name, specially after
:41:21. > :41:24.last year, I wanted to get this right. I know I can complete well in
:41:25. > :41:29.the final, but it's all getting there. I'm so happy doing that. What
:41:30. > :41:34.did you go in with tactically and what kind of plan? I didn't go in as
:41:35. > :41:40.I planned, I got into positions I didn't plan on. The main thing is to
:41:41. > :41:46.stay patient and gaps opened. It all paid off. Now you mere in the final
:41:47. > :41:50.-- you're in the final. We saw in the Diamond League time and time
:41:51. > :41:56.again, you must fancy your chances. I live for the stuff. This is really
:41:57. > :41:59.where it starts. I was expecting to make the finals. So now it's about
:42:00. > :42:04.getting some rest and really competing with the top girls. Thanks
:42:05. > :42:11.for talking to us and well done for reaching the final. Can I say just
:42:12. > :42:16.hi to my granddaughter? Thank you. Ryan Crouser, a colossal throw,
:42:17. > :42:28.celebrating a new Olympic record and a gold medal in the men's shot put
:42:29. > :42:34.final. 28 years ago... That record 28-year-old, Ryan Crouser has
:42:35. > :42:38.broken. Joe Kovacs settled frl silver, and Tomas Walsh taking
:42:39. > :42:43.bronze. Another great field event final this
:42:44. > :42:51.evening, the women's javelin, the South African. Twice Commonwealth
:42:52. > :42:59.Games champion in the past, 33 years of age now, snaking down the runway.
:43:00. > :43:07.Lined this up, I think. On 65m metres. She's pleased with that.
:43:08. > :43:13.Lifetime best of 69. I don't know why you would do that - sideways.
:43:14. > :43:20.And then the javelin pops off right. Maybe more to come. Making it more
:43:21. > :43:30.efficient. Got her own style and technique. She's powerful. This
:43:31. > :43:53.throw will take the lead. It's 64.92.
:43:54. > :44:01.That final is about just under 20 minutes away. You'll see it here
:44:02. > :44:06.live on BBC One. And next on the track, though, actually next on the
:44:07. > :44:13.track is the decathlon 1,500m. When we do leave you, we'll see that on
:44:14. > :44:19.the red button. But let's talking about the hurdles. Doyle has
:44:20. > :44:24.undergone some real changes, she's married, moved her base as well and
:44:25. > :44:31.it's clear they're in fruit, these changes. Doyle leads into the
:44:32. > :44:35.straight. This is a fabulous performance from the Scot so far. I
:44:36. > :44:39.don't think about me, I think about going out performing. It's nice
:44:40. > :44:43.people are talking about me because obviously shows I'm running well and
:44:44. > :44:47.doing OK, but I just try to think about trying to execute the right
:44:48. > :44:52.race and with that comes fast times with that comes good positions. For
:44:53. > :44:57.me it's focusing on performing and running a good race. We made changes
:44:58. > :45:02.this year around that top bend, we felt the last couple of years I have
:45:03. > :45:05.been good for the first 200, but it's that 2 and 3 that I lost
:45:06. > :45:13.positions. I changed the pattern slightly because of that. If I get
:45:14. > :45:20.that right, I can get that me up with the top girls this year. The
:45:21. > :45:25.confidence is the big difference, you know. Going into it - I look
:45:26. > :45:29.back on the way I felt in London, I feel a totally different athlete. To
:45:30. > :45:33.me it was about making the team and going to the Olympics. But this is
:45:34. > :45:37.about - I made the team but I want to go there and do something when
:45:38. > :45:44.I'm there. I want to make sure I run well. I'm a totally different
:45:45. > :45:49.athlete than I was four years ago, and confidence is high. It's been
:45:50. > :45:52.really pleasing to see the progress in that four-year cycle, when you
:45:53. > :45:55.can tangibly somebody improving in terms of getting into finals and
:45:56. > :45:59.moving up and the time coming down. There's been a lot of hard work
:46:00. > :46:02.that's gone on behind-the-scenes in terms of get a stride pattern right
:46:03. > :46:05.and she's getting there, she's got the speed there, but the technical
:46:06. > :46:09.part of her game is definitely improved. Yes, the technical part
:46:10. > :46:13.has certainly improved, and also she's done both her and the coach,
:46:14. > :46:17.is really meticulous plan how they're going to, first of all,
:46:18. > :46:22.increase the speed and then of course, match that with good, good,
:46:23. > :46:24.good tech Nike and -- teek neek and that's always -- technique and
:46:25. > :46:30.that's going to make all the difference, earn specially in the
:46:31. > :46:34.400m hurdles when you have that bit of fatigue. You got some clips for
:46:35. > :46:38.us to look at. Slm. So let's see what we put up here. Here is Doyle
:46:39. > :46:43.here. She was always worried about this stripe pattern. Always kind of
:46:44. > :46:46.been pushing her to try to get the correct pattern. First of all, what
:46:47. > :46:50.she said she was working on was that stripe pattern from one hurdle to
:46:51. > :46:55.hurdle 5, that always had to be a 50 strides in between that. Now, I know
:46:56. > :46:58.people may be thinking - why do you continue sprinting, why can't you
:46:59. > :47:02.come on any foot and just jump? But it's really important to come off
:47:03. > :47:07.the hurdles in the right position because when you are tired, you need
:47:08. > :47:11.to drive. So here she's still on that 15 stride pattern, changes down
:47:12. > :47:15.to that one there - that's her 16. She needs to take this again, the 16
:47:16. > :47:19.which will be a left leg, but remember in the heat, she messed it
:47:20. > :47:23.up a little bit and because she didn't drive on to the barrows just
:47:24. > :47:28.to chill, just to relax and try to save energy, then she was a bit out
:47:29. > :47:31.of sorts. Here once again, we saw this all season, she throws in an
:47:32. > :47:36.extra stride here, she gets on her good leg, so she can run off boldly
:47:37. > :47:39.and strongly. It worked in this particular time, because it's a
:47:40. > :47:43.heat, it's a qualifying round. But, of course, when the real deal
:47:44. > :47:48.happens, which is now, she's in the final, she's in lane 1, she cannot
:47:49. > :47:53.afford to run like that or make any tiny mistakes like this. Would you
:47:54. > :47:58.say looking at the fields that's there and beside it is time that
:47:59. > :48:04.Delilah has posted this season, that is quite an open final. No. No, OK.
:48:05. > :48:13.Mohammad is clearly... Besides her, behind her. Now Hayne has come back.
:48:14. > :48:18.Pretty much in the last few weeks. Ignore that what she ran, 54.3, is
:48:19. > :48:24.the season's best, she's hiding behind that. So what she's got to do
:48:25. > :48:27.is just run her normal race. She's in the 53s quite quickly. And fail
:48:28. > :48:33.that, it's got to be Ashley. She's the one you got to watch out for,
:48:34. > :48:37.she's got speed but I always cringe slightly when she takes over every
:48:38. > :48:41.single hurdle. I only takes a clip when you have a bit of fatigue to
:48:42. > :48:45.send you all over the place. So that is the big issue there. Doyle, she's
:48:46. > :48:49.in lane one, she's going to see everybody, going to be very
:48:50. > :48:54.difficult for her to put everything into play, but we know she's won
:48:55. > :48:58.some of the big races in the Diamond League. She's capable of going under
:48:59. > :49:03.43 seconds and if anybody of the big three there make a mistake, and
:49:04. > :49:07.Doyle is in the right position going into that final barrier, she can
:49:08. > :49:11.sneak a bronze. Big call. We have been calling it all year but she has
:49:12. > :49:15.the potential to sneak that bronze medal. Is she at a disadvantage of
:49:16. > :49:22.being in lane one? Yes, yes. It's not easy. No. It's been done before.
:49:23. > :49:24.For numerous... What is the disadvantage, is it different
:49:25. > :49:30.different with hurdles that makes lane one a disadvantage? All right.
:49:31. > :49:33.OK. Very good question. Now, what happens with hurdles because they
:49:34. > :49:37.they disappear over the track in a different wear, when she's in lane
:49:38. > :49:40.one, she may end up three hurdles on the bend, when you're further out,
:49:41. > :49:45.the hurdles are out on the straight, and that can I affect the stride
:49:46. > :49:55.pattern, that's why it's a little bit more of a challenge for you.
:49:56. > :50:07.Athletes do not tend to train in lane one. You never know where you
:50:08. > :50:16.get it. But they hope for perfection. It feels like a good
:50:17. > :50:25.time to take a trip down memory lane when Great Britain was pretty
:50:26. > :50:30.dominant in these events. COMMENTATOR: Hemmings very solid.
:50:31. > :50:58.The world champion on the outside. Approaching the halfway stage. Sadly
:50:59. > :51:08.beginning to close. Under pressure. Three to go.
:51:09. > :51:23.And she gets it right! She get the gold! Janine Vickers is sad. Outside
:51:24. > :51:32.the Olympic record. She will not mind a little bit about that. I tell
:51:33. > :51:37.you a secret, I was there and I was 19 years old and I had six tickets
:51:38. > :51:43.for the dream team but it was not the man the women and I swapped them
:51:44. > :51:54.for that because the guy who got the tickets thought he was getting the
:51:55. > :52:01.American men's team. I thought the women were dream. If you are
:52:02. > :52:06.watching, I am sorry. What a fantastic... Well, it was a
:52:07. > :52:14.fantastic Olympic Games for Great Britain. The 100 metres and a
:52:15. > :52:22.certain hurdler and he absolutely fell apart. LAUGHTER lets have a
:52:23. > :52:28.listen to Shelayna Oskan-Clarke. Unfortunately she did not make it
:52:29. > :52:34.through. You always give it your all. Did you get clipped? I got
:52:35. > :52:42.tripped up over there and lost a bit of momentum, really marked... In the
:52:43. > :52:45.end, it is my responsibility to get myself in that position. I probably
:52:46. > :52:51.should have been a bit more patient because it was a little bit scrappy
:52:52. > :52:54.but I tried my best. If I would have got ahead of that person would have
:52:55. > :53:02.been fighting or a spot but I didn't. Frustration in that, I note.
:53:03. > :53:08.But what about the things you've learnt at the World Championship and
:53:09. > :53:14.another big step up being in the Olympics? Everyone has stepped up
:53:15. > :53:20.their game. A descent to go away and train harder and come back and tried
:53:21. > :53:26.to put myself in the best position when I am racing. I am in great
:53:27. > :53:31.shape but it is tough when you are doing the rounds. Thank you and we
:53:32. > :53:38.appreciate you stopping to talk to us. STUDIO: The women's javelin is
:53:39. > :53:54.taking place tonight Steve, how is it going? We are into the third
:53:55. > :54:08.round and now. This is the European champion Tatsian Khaladovich. She is
:54:09. > :54:14.just behind Sunette Viljoen. Very similar to the throw of Sunette
:54:15. > :54:24.Viljoen but no one really setting the world alight in this women's
:54:25. > :54:31.final at the halfway stage. We are looking at 64 metres leading. That
:54:32. > :54:37.throw 64 .60 four Tatsian Khaladovich so she goes into second
:54:38. > :54:43.place behind Sunette Viljoen. Let's have a look back at Tatsian
:54:44. > :54:50.Khaladovich, twice Olympic champion. She can make history here by taking
:54:51. > :54:59.a third if she gets it right. That is her best so far. That was the
:55:00. > :55:32.second round throw. As we stand at the end of round three, she is
:55:33. > :55:43.enforced place. She needs more. Sara Kolak, round three. Oh, throws
:55:44. > :55:53.around early 60 metres. Surprisingly. We have seen at least
:55:54. > :56:08.throw beyond 70 metres. The world record holder over 72 metres. 63 on
:56:09. > :56:17.the nose, the best so far. STUDIO: Usain Bolt out on the warmup track.
:56:18. > :56:23.He will be in the stadium just before 10:30pm. He seemed to be
:56:24. > :56:31.fairly reacts, it is fair to say that not LAUGHTER I digging the
:56:32. > :56:41.skills. I wonder what he is listening to. He has such an
:56:42. > :56:47.eclectic mix of music. And he dances in the same way to everything. It
:56:48. > :56:59.could be the equivalent to a foxtrot. You know it. Just over 36
:57:00. > :57:08.minutes away. We also have Elidh Doyle in the 400 hurdles. What we go
:57:09. > :57:14.to the tae kwon do to see if Jade Jones can defend her title.
:57:15. > :57:21.Hopefully we will be back for the 400 hurdles. The athletics will
:57:22. > :57:27.continue on the Red Button. You will not miss a thing. Right now, we hand
:57:28. > :57:40.over to you to what hopefully will be another gold for Jade Jones. 23
:57:41. > :57:47.years old, North Wales, she is a massive star in Wales and she could
:57:48. > :57:49.be a massive star Team GB and for the rest of the world if she can
:57:50. > :58:03.defend her title. COMMENTATOR: Lovely knock, Jade
:58:04. > :58:11.Jones is going through. Good defence from Jade Jones. An excellent win.
:58:12. > :58:23.Jade Jones will make it into the semifinals. Can she defend her
:58:24. > :58:26.title? She has a chance. She is in the final.
:58:27. > :58:38.A nation is holding its breath. This is where she is fighting. So far no
:58:39. > :58:47.problems in the defence of her title. She is the favourite but her
:58:48. > :58:54.opponents is the number two seed. Nick, there should be one real tide
:58:55. > :59:00.Comtesse? Yes there should be a really phenomenal. We wanted to see
:59:01. > :59:09.the number one against the number two. They have such a rivalry. Jade
:59:10. > :59:18.has the advantage, winning the two most recent battles. 14- fall the
:59:19. > :59:24.last result. This is the one the crowd is waiting for. When you are
:59:25. > :59:30.the reigning Olympic champion, that must count for so much? Absolutely.
:59:31. > :59:34.There is a lot of pressure once you become the Olympic champion and that
:59:35. > :59:40.is something Jade Jones has had to deal with. It was the first-ever
:59:41. > :59:46.Olympic title in tae kwon do for Great Britain. It has taken a while
:59:47. > :59:52.for her to adapt to be Olympic champion. The pressure where every
:59:53. > :59:59.opponent raises her game to try and beat her and knock her rock her
:00:00. > :00:09.pedestal. -- knock her off her pedestal. The World Championship
:00:10. > :00:15.title would mean nothing if she could defend her Olympic gold medal.
:00:16. > :00:21.She is so down to earth, softly spoken but in these next couple of
:00:22. > :00:28.minutes she turned into an unbelievable Welsh warrior. She will
:00:29. > :00:36.not talk to the media, she will shut down into the little bubble she is
:00:37. > :00:43.in. She is super focus. Yet, when she is relaxed, she is just a normal
:00:44. > :00:47.young woman out as soon as she is out there on the night, she is super
:00:48. > :00:58.focused and she wants to win every single time. And that is what you
:00:59. > :01:06.will see. Eva Calvo Gomez is a formidable fighter as well?
:01:07. > :01:15.Absolutely Manbij sorry, it is a very loud at the moment as other
:01:16. > :01:24.medals are being contested. -- absolutely... Sorry. It took a long
:01:25. > :01:27.time for her to try and overcome her style and Eva Calvo Gomez is a
:01:28. > :01:34.taller fighter with longer legs which makes it difficult to score
:01:35. > :01:39.against the scoring system has changed the past six months and I
:01:40. > :01:44.think it favours Jade Jones. Shipping get closer to her opponent
:01:45. > :01:49.and it is easier for her to school. Eva Calvo Gomez has not quite
:01:50. > :01:56.adapted to that but it will be fascinating. Coming out in the final
:01:57. > :02:00.is obviously very different fool 's the defeat she suffered, she will
:02:01. > :02:05.remember, against Jade Jones. In front of this amazing crowd, I think
:02:06. > :02:12.it is jade that can do it once again. Thank you very much indeed,
:02:13. > :02:20.Nick. Jade Jones taking on Eva Calvo Gomez, coming up shortly. If you
:02:21. > :02:34.need a guide to tae kwon do this is only a Mackenzy.
:02:35. > :02:39.fully-fledged Olympic sport in Sydney in 2000. Each contest has
:02:40. > :02:41.three rounds of two minutes, and a competitor can win on points or if
:02:42. > :02:46.their opponent is unable to continue. Points are awarded for
:02:47. > :02:50.permitted, accurate and powerful blows to the opponent's head or
:02:51. > :02:54.body. Attacks to the body made using a fist or foot, but an athlete can
:02:55. > :02:58.only use their feet to strike the area above the collarbone. Punches
:02:59. > :03:02.to the head and attacks to the spine are not allowed. The only techniques
:03:03. > :03:06.permitted are kicks where the athlete uses the area of the foot
:03:07. > :03:10.below the ankle and punches where the athlete uses the knuckle part of
:03:11. > :03:14.a Kightly-clenched fist. Scoring differs depending where or how an
:03:15. > :03:18.athlete has attacked. One point is awarded for a valid attack to the
:03:19. > :03:22.body protector but if the attack is a turning or reverse kick to the
:03:23. > :03:25.body, it's worth three points. An athlete will receive three points
:03:26. > :03:29.for a legal kick to the head. And if this is a turning kick, it achieve
:03:30. > :03:34.it is maximum - four points. At the end of the three rounds, a
:03:35. > :03:40.competitor with the most points wins the match, but in the event of a
:03:41. > :03:42.tie, a golden point round is held, where the first competitor to score
:03:43. > :03:47.a point wins. All you need to know about Taekwondo
:03:48. > :03:53.as we head into the gold medal contest, let's go back to the
:03:54. > :03:58.Carioca arena, Nick, there's a slight delay in the gold medal
:03:59. > :04:01.contest. Yes, what happens obviously in Taekwondo is there can be some
:04:02. > :04:05.contentious decisions so you get a lot of fighter are able to appeal
:04:06. > :04:09.against a decision and the referees - the officials don't always able to
:04:10. > :04:12.make the decision straightaway, that can take quite a while. Equally as
:04:13. > :04:16.you can hear from the crowd here, sometimes not very easy for them to
:04:17. > :04:19.hear what the appeal is is always for. A lot of different
:04:20. > :04:23.nationalities involved in the appeals processes. Sometimes take a
:04:24. > :04:29.bit of a transation. Basically why we get the delays. OK. And Jade is
:04:30. > :04:34.up next. That's the end of that bout. We got Jade Jones coming up
:04:35. > :04:38.shortly for you. If you just set up your alarm and woken up, Jade Jones
:04:39. > :04:41.will be out very, very shortly for her gold medal contest. What about
:04:42. > :04:45.the atmosphere there, Nick? Lots of fans there. Hopefully you can hear
:04:46. > :04:48.me - it's absolutely incredible in here. We're wondering what it was
:04:49. > :04:51.going to be like today because one of the Brazilian competitors who was
:04:52. > :04:55.expected to do quite well got knocked out in the early round.
:04:56. > :04:59.That's why there's a big crowd today, maybe. They got behind every
:05:00. > :05:02.single fighter who has stepped out on to the mat today. Absolutely
:05:03. > :05:05.incredible. Thousands and thousands of kids actually today which is
:05:06. > :05:10.brilliant to see. They're incredibly excited getting to see - staying up
:05:11. > :05:13.late at night and getting to see the fantastic fighting action that we
:05:14. > :05:18.have seen already. We have been seeing over the last half an hour or
:05:19. > :05:25.so are the bronze medal bouts, that's all
:05:26. > :05:30.Obviously they're getting very excited now. The music is picking up
:05:31. > :05:34.and they're getting readir for the gold medal bout.
:05:35. > :05:39.And Nick, we all remember where we were, I certainly do anyway, when
:05:40. > :05:53.Jade Jones won the gold medal at London 2012. What about Britain's
:05:54. > :05:56.support, they were in support for the Brownlees and others, have they
:05:57. > :06:02.been to the Carioca. You can see a pocket of them in the back. A lot of
:06:03. > :06:07.Korean flags, they celebrate their athlete's success in the last of the
:06:08. > :06:11.bronze medal marches but a great pocket of GB supporters and general
:06:12. > :06:14.Taekwondo fans who are here to support all the other athletes. Four
:06:15. > :06:19.competitors over the next few days. It will be fantastic. Obviously
:06:20. > :06:23.Taekwondo got such a profile boost from Jade's success in London 2012
:06:24. > :06:27.and that bronze medal for Muhammad, they want to push that for wand and
:06:28. > :06:31.show it's one of the few sports. Jade has done so much and it would
:06:32. > :06:37.really help continue that sports growth if she can go and get success
:06:38. > :06:41.again. Also they won another golden post box in Flint, I know that. One
:06:42. > :06:44.final question on Jade - I remember talking to her after London 2012 and
:06:45. > :06:48.shed said she doesn't want to become a flash in the pan. She wants to
:06:49. > :06:52.continue. This would be such an amazing thing. Not just for
:06:53. > :06:55.Taekwondo, but for Jade herself to be a double Olympic champion. It
:06:56. > :07:01.will be absolutely huge. Only two women who have done that before in
:07:02. > :07:05.the history of Taekwondo, been able to defend an Olympic Taekwondo game.
:07:06. > :07:08.That's just shows you how difficult it is. You know, once you become an
:07:09. > :07:13.Olympic champion, everybody is looking at you, everybody is wanting
:07:14. > :07:16.to take you down a notch and to be able to cope with that is so
:07:17. > :07:20.incredibly difficult. She's been on this incredible journey over the
:07:21. > :07:23.last #230ur years where she has to learn new styles, techniques,
:07:24. > :07:28.tactics, and new ways of coping with that pressure. It's great to see,
:07:29. > :07:31.though, over the last 18 months she has learnt to adapt and handle of
:07:32. > :07:35.that pressure. As you have seen through round after round today. She
:07:36. > :07:39.knows how to conserve her energy. And perform when it really matters.
:07:40. > :07:43.Hopefully she's saved it all for the very best. We can see she's coming
:07:44. > :07:48.out now and this is the fight from the last four years that means the
:07:49. > :07:51.most. As soon as she finished in London 2012, she was already
:07:52. > :07:56.thinking about trying to defend it and make history yet again in Rio,
:07:57. > :08:01.this is what it's all about. Nick, you have certainly whet our
:08:02. > :08:05.appetite. Here we go, can Jade Jones make it Olympic gold number two? We
:08:06. > :08:11.have everything crossed here in the studio in Copacabana. Let's join our
:08:12. > :08:25.commentators - Neil Adams and John Collins.
:08:26. > :08:32.Back for more this time - Jade Jones and this one promises to be a
:08:33. > :08:37.classic. Absolutely. It can't wait for this one. It's going to be a
:08:38. > :08:41.cracker, it really is. Defending her Olympic title, of course - Jade
:08:42. > :08:45.Jones of Great Britain. But like you say, Eva Calvo Gomez, who won that -
:08:46. > :08:53.well, will want to say something about that. So it should be a great
:08:54. > :08:59.match-up between these two. And great to see that such opposition
:09:00. > :09:03.that, you know, all of a sudden Eva Calvo Gomez came up and took over
:09:04. > :09:15.from Jones. But Jones is back. She's straight into the ring here. This
:09:16. > :09:20.one - the gold medal contest. The highly experienced referee. It's
:09:21. > :09:26.time to decide the destination of the Olympic gold. Eva Calvo Gomez in
:09:27. > :09:32.red, the taller of the two. Great Britain's Jade Jones wants to keep
:09:33. > :09:39.the right foot in front. Shifts off to the side. Atmosphere electric
:09:40. > :09:44.here at the Carioca Arena - downtown Brazil. Who can find the uptown
:09:45. > :09:48.quality to get the shot on the board. Steady start from both. The
:09:49. > :09:55.range finder for Eva Calvo Gomez. Good push, kick power from the
:09:56. > :10:01.Spanish fighter. Just trying to find her range at the moment - Jones. We
:10:02. > :10:05.have seen it a lot with Jade Jones - just takes the time, fields the
:10:06. > :10:06.distance, gets the distance right and then starts to pick up the
:10:07. > :10:17.points. Picking up the pace here. Jade
:10:18. > :10:22.Jones, the fighter from Flint. She's trying to find a little space for
:10:23. > :10:29.her feet. Not quite working out yet. Good cover there. So important to
:10:30. > :10:39.defend. This one really ebbing and flowing back and forth. I think
:10:40. > :10:43.she's going to make sure she keeps maintaining that distance and then
:10:44. > :10:48.come in when it's the right moment. Jade Jones - but, of course Eva
:10:49. > :10:56.Calvo Gomez is going to try to use her range. Try to come in with a
:10:57. > :11:01.hook kick there - Jones in blue. Gomez just leaning back. She finds
:11:02. > :11:09.the door. She sneaks in and taking the head shot and plants another!
:11:10. > :11:16.6-0. That is amazing. What an amazing combination there. I think
:11:17. > :11:26.we're going to see a protest here. The coach saying that he wants one
:11:27. > :11:30.of the head kicks invalidated. He's going to have to ask for one of the
:11:31. > :11:34.kicks to be taken away. The contentious here is that the first
:11:35. > :11:45.head shot from Jones was a clean kick. They go into the clinch, the
:11:46. > :11:48.coach is saying that it was holding the Spanish fighter and the head
:11:49. > :11:53.shot was over the shoulder. That's what the coach is saying. Let's go.
:11:54. > :12:01.Let's go indeed. Let's have a look and a little listen. The card has
:12:02. > :12:09.been pocketed. Unsuccessfully video replay. The six points are in play.
:12:10. > :12:15.The replay wasn't necessary. The coach got his instructions wrong.
:12:16. > :12:21.Card instantly pocketed and with 20 seconds to go, Jade Jones tries for
:12:22. > :12:26.another head shot. She's starting to pick up the points here and just
:12:27. > :12:32.eight seconds left of this first round. Excellent start for Jade
:12:33. > :12:38.Jones. She will go back to her corner.
:12:39. > :12:42.(SIREN SOUNDS) A little cushion, it won't be a
:12:43. > :12:50.cushion she can rest on, but it will certainly help.
:12:51. > :12:58.A little bit of coach and athlete consternation there, some confusion,
:12:59. > :13:03.but Jones the six points. Jones absolutely superb with that. What a
:13:04. > :13:09.combination that was. Two head shots and two lots of three points there.
:13:10. > :13:15.So six points, but like you say, she knows that she can't just come and
:13:16. > :13:17.expect to go two more rounds with just six points. She's going to try
:13:18. > :13:30.to add to that, of course. (SIREN SOUNDS)
:13:31. > :13:36.The British coach advising Jade Jones to use the cut kick. She cuts
:13:37. > :13:44.a strong figure here against Eva Calvo Gomez. Six points to Jones.
:13:45. > :13:48.There's that kick to the body. Jade Jones in blue, Eva Calvo Gomez in
:13:49. > :13:53.red, but who's going to get back into this? The Spanish finds two
:13:54. > :13:58.kicks. Four points behind new. Little bit of a comeback. A chip and
:13:59. > :14:03.charge as Jones tries to charge upstairs as well. This, is real
:14:04. > :14:08.tussle affair. That's incredible. But like you say - Gomez, same
:14:09. > :14:11.technique, caught her with the same technique, but got to be careful as
:14:12. > :14:13.she comes in because Jones can change it. Another point picked up
:14:14. > :14:28.by Jones. Enormous tension and rivalry between
:14:29. > :14:35.these two. Will it be repeat or will it be revenge? Jones hoping for her
:14:36. > :14:40.second Olympic title. She won it at the home crowd in London, she's on
:14:41. > :14:44.the road, here in Rio. She's on the road with a five point gap look
:14:45. > :14:48.scoring with that head shot, and again great defence from Gomez.
:14:49. > :14:53.She's still in this, and an excellent push point from the
:14:54. > :14:59.Spanish fighter. Yes, she's just got to keep her head, keep her composure
:15:00. > :15:04.- Jade Jones. There's the head shot that puts Gomez back into this one.
:15:05. > :15:09.The Spanish fighter not giving up without a fight. And Gomez, in terms
:15:10. > :15:16.of head-to-heads, she's 6-3 ahead in matches. She's 7-6 behind on the
:15:17. > :15:22.scoreboard though. Jones trying one of her own. This is a classic. It is
:15:23. > :15:28.absolute classic, and she's going to see what she scored with earlier, go
:15:29. > :15:35.back to that because - look at that. Quick change of direction there. The
:15:36. > :15:39.direction of the scores has changed quickly as well. Jones with that
:15:40. > :15:46.great physicality, Eva Calvo Gomez, a very strong fighter in her own
:15:47. > :15:51.right and she's put herself back in context here. This is Olympic
:15:52. > :15:55.Taekwondo at the very best. Both women reeling and rocking here.
:15:56. > :15:57.Jones retreats. She was in the lead, and Eva Calvo Gomez has clawed it
:15:58. > :16:08.back. The coaching instruction is quite
:16:09. > :16:12.clear there - forget that round, give me your best two minutes but it
:16:13. > :16:19.was the best two minutes from Gomez here. Yes, I think absolutely right
:16:20. > :16:23.- it was fantastic for Gomez, Gomez absolutely came forward, didn't she?
:16:24. > :16:29.And she was determined to pull that deficit back and she did.
:16:30. > :16:36.What a battle we have got here. It is, coming into this last round now,
:16:37. > :16:41.it's anybody's match this. All depends now on who wants it most and
:16:42. > :16:44.a little bit of change of tactics from either fighter. I think Eva
:16:45. > :16:54.Calvo Gomez did change her tactics and that's why she got those points.
:16:55. > :16:59.Big moments here in Brazil. The women's under 57kg gold medal
:17:00. > :17:04.contest. Eva Calvo Gomez of Spain in red. Jade Jones, her opponent - you
:17:05. > :17:08.can guess what colour she's in. But colour will they'll be carrying at
:17:09. > :17:14.the end? This battle for gold or silver. Jones picks off a little
:17:15. > :17:20.flick kick to the body. 8-6 now. Cancelled out by Gomez. Ebbing and
:17:21. > :17:27.flowing here. 8-7, a one-point game. What a match! Wow! It is! It is a
:17:28. > :17:31.fantastic match. Great stuff here. Eva Calvo Gomez absolutely taking
:17:32. > :17:35.the fight to Jones. Jones has to fight back but it's an open match,
:17:36. > :17:48.an open final and that's why it's so close. So much tension. Jones for a
:17:49. > :17:54.head shot. She takes it an absolute picture-perfect shot there. Dropped
:17:55. > :17:57.the drop kick over the shoulder and an electronic sensor... But there's
:17:58. > :18:02.one more for Gomez. A five point match. Jones goes for the head
:18:03. > :18:09.again, she scores. She's doing so well here - Gomez. She has to find a
:18:10. > :18:15.way to... The Spanish fighter, this a real battle. It's fantastic stuff.
:18:16. > :18:21.Gomez going for the big points, of course. And Jones just keeping her
:18:22. > :18:26.composure. Under pressure, but the Olympic champion here defending her
:18:27. > :18:35.Olympic title and - wow - is she doing that well! Look at the points
:18:36. > :18:44.- 15-7. The time for Gomez to do something - has it gone? As we go
:18:45. > :18:47.into the last 20 seconds. Jade Jones there asks for a replay card. They
:18:48. > :18:53.do. Could it get more dramatic? Let's have a listen.
:18:54. > :19:01.There you go, the face kick is the request, how important this could
:19:02. > :19:08.be? Yeah, I think so. For me, I saw the head go back, but good call.
:19:09. > :19:11.Let's look at it, Jones pushing forward with her first phase. Does
:19:12. > :19:20.she get it to the face? She does not. The video replay unsuccessful.
:19:21. > :19:24.The storeboard the same. 15 points. Gomez on the back foot. Can she do
:19:25. > :19:33.it one more time? The Olympic champion! She strikes gold again!
:19:34. > :19:40.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Double Olympic champion to the
:19:41. > :19:45.delight of the British fans and the Brazilian crowd. She takes Paul
:19:46. > :19:56.Green on to the mat. She said because of him, she found a love for
:19:57. > :20:03.the sport again. Paul Green never one to take the applauds, but it was
:20:04. > :20:07.his charge, the Welsh Wonder, the fighter from Flint, that produced a
:20:08. > :20:11.tremendous response. Eva Calvo Gomez a superb silver, disappointed but
:20:12. > :20:16.beaten by a clear margin. Yeah, by a clear mar u gin and she -- margin
:20:17. > :20:22.and she kept her cool - Jade Jones. That was brilliant stuff. She racked
:20:23. > :20:25.up the points but credit to Eva Calvo Gomez because she came back
:20:26. > :20:29.into it, she never gave up, kept coming forward. Jade Jones in the
:20:30. > :20:38.end, though, double Olympic champion.
:20:39. > :20:45.This is just absolutely phenomenal - Jade Jones, one of the stars of
:20:46. > :20:50.London 2012 has struck gold again. Double Olympic champion! There is
:20:51. > :20:55.Jade Jones - this is absolutely incredible. Right, we'll go back to
:20:56. > :20:59.the Taekwondo very shortly. And hear from the Olympic champion after we
:21:00. > :21:02.take you back to the track and field. Let's head back to the
:21:03. > :21:06.Olympic Stadium. As you can see Eilidh Doyle is about to go in the
:21:07. > :21:21.women's 400m hurdles final. What a night we have here.
:21:22. > :21:26.Doyle, Nugent, Muhammad, Peet, Spencer, Hejnova, Tracey, Russell in
:21:27. > :21:30.the finals. Doyle stretching out. The lanes outside her to the first
:21:31. > :21:36.bar jer, she looked strong with Nugent outside. We're looking for
:21:37. > :21:43.Dalilah Muhammad in lane 3. She's made up ground. Passing Petersen
:21:44. > :21:49.sand Spencer. But it's Muhammad leading at the moment. Hejnova going
:21:50. > :21:53.strongly. A couple of lanes outside, but Muhammad over that barrier in
:21:54. > :21:58.front as the rain starts to come down heavier still in the Olympic
:21:59. > :22:02.Stadium. Muhammad four or five paces clear, Doyle can Doyle a lot of
:22:03. > :22:07.ground to make up but everybody has a lot of ground to make up. Petersen
:22:08. > :22:11.going well. Hejnova is there, Ashley Spencer trying to finish strongly
:22:12. > :22:17.but Dalilah Muhammad for the gold medal! And how quick is it? She's
:22:18. > :22:22.fading a little bit but she crossing the line - 53.14. Petersen the
:22:23. > :22:29.silver and Ashley Spencer came through for the bronze. But just
:22:30. > :22:33.about from the start, to the finish, Dalilah Muhammad, the favourite, is
:22:34. > :22:36.the champion. Sarah Petersen, you can see what the silver medal meant
:22:37. > :22:42.to her. Eilidh Doyle tried, but that was a high calibre field in front of
:22:43. > :22:47.her, and Ashley Spencer has got the bronze. And we talked about those
:22:48. > :22:50.who were coming in, with all their expectation and the pressure of
:22:51. > :22:56.being the favourites, the clear favourite as Dalilah Muhammad was
:22:57. > :23:00.here, and she delivered and embraced from Sarah Petersen to Eilidh Doyle,
:23:01. > :23:04.two Europeans have competed so hard against each other, but Sarah
:23:05. > :23:10.Petersen takes the silver, that was a great run, a national record for
:23:11. > :23:16.the Dane. Wonderful run, but from Dalilah Muhammad it was superior.
:23:17. > :23:20.Simply better than all the rest. Andrew, the field is obliterated.
:23:21. > :23:24.Once he puts her mind to it - Muhammad - she's so strong. She's
:23:25. > :23:30.technically, very effective and efficient. She just runs so freely,
:23:31. > :23:34.doesn't she? She doesn't seem like she's worried about any stride
:23:35. > :23:38.pattern. She's cool, calm and aggressive at the right moment. That
:23:39. > :23:44.allows you to have that lovely loaning stride, that eases away from
:23:45. > :23:47.the field. And just - ah, a magnificent way. Absolutely
:23:48. > :23:51.brilliant to see that. The big conversation has to be Sarah
:23:52. > :23:55.Petersen, because she had a great year in the championships but I was
:23:56. > :24:00.thinking whether she could live up to that when it comes to the real
:24:01. > :24:06.deal - the Olympic Games. Doyle ran a decent race but didn't quite have
:24:07. > :24:12.the pace of the others. She's run 54.61, how does she look here,
:24:13. > :24:18.Colin? She taken challenge here of the stride pattern. It's one of
:24:19. > :24:21.these things you need to get groved into earlier on in the season.
:24:22. > :24:24.You're allowed to run a lot freezer in circumstances like this, in these
:24:25. > :24:29.championships. Right now, the stride pattern she's worked on is
:24:30. > :24:34.absolutely spot-on at this moment. So there's no worries, no criticism
:24:35. > :24:38.you can give Doyle at this moment in time. It's just this race was
:24:39. > :24:43.phenomenally fast, not just by one or two, or three people, but all the
:24:44. > :24:47.way down to sixth, there was either season best, personal best or just
:24:48. > :24:50.fast times. As you can see, Doyle did a grand job, she couldn't do
:24:51. > :24:54.anymore under this particular circumstance. So all in all, to be
:24:55. > :24:58.in the Olympic final for her is a great achievement. Perhaps maybe she
:24:59. > :25:03.wanted a little bit more, but I can assure you, I applaud her. Yes, to
:25:04. > :25:07.make an Olympic final is something very special, but Dalilah Muhammad,
:25:08. > :25:12.look at her sol far ahead of the rest. The gold medallist, the US
:25:13. > :25:21.again, took a while to get their first track title in Rio, and when
:25:22. > :25:24.they come, they come over the hurdles, Rollins lead, Dalilah
:25:25. > :25:27.Muhammad has taken gold in the women's 400m ahead of Sarah
:25:28. > :25:32.Petersen, Ashley Spencer and Eilidh Doyle down in eighth place.
:25:33. > :25:35.Another gold medal then for the US. The American Dalilah Muhammad, the
:25:36. > :25:39.fastest qualifier also ran the fastest time this year from the
:25:40. > :25:43.Olympic Stadium back over to the Carioca. There you can see Great
:25:44. > :25:50.Britain, another gold medal and we used to seeing this - we saw it at
:25:51. > :25:54.London 2012, we're seeing it again, Jade Jones has won another gold
:25:55. > :25:59.medal, she's a double Olympic champion. Absolutely magnificent
:26:00. > :26:08.performance from Jade and she's just been talking to Nick Hope.
:26:09. > :26:13.Jade, a massive congratulations, you defended your Olympic title, how do
:26:14. > :26:16.you feel snmpket I can't explain, I didn't realise how much pressure,
:26:17. > :26:21.like, I would feel coming into this. Like, even the first two matches, I
:26:22. > :26:26.felt so pressure and intent. To pull it off and, you know, my coach ask a
:26:27. > :26:32.psycho, so it's all down to him! You know, the Great Britain team trained
:26:33. > :26:36.so hard, and even... Come on Paul. You're a big part of this
:26:37. > :26:39.achievement tonight. Sum up what she's achieved. This wasn't a small
:26:40. > :26:44.victory. She destroyed the field today. Yeah, she delivers under
:26:45. > :26:47.pressure, I said it before, she's done it again, she's the most
:26:48. > :26:52.successful British athlete in Taekwondo in history and probably
:26:53. > :26:57.ever will be. And her achievement is fantastic, double Olympic champion.
:26:58. > :27:01.She's done everything. Can I just say a huge thank you to the national
:27:02. > :27:06.lottery for funding the taxpayers that fund Jade to do the sport, and
:27:07. > :27:09.Gary Hall, legend of a boss, keeps the programme together. Absolutely
:27:10. > :27:13.made all of this possible. And Jade, you know, from your perspective, I'm
:27:14. > :27:16.sure you know, for those that don't know your journey over the last four
:27:17. > :27:21.years, hasn't been easy, coping with all of the pressure, but you turned
:27:22. > :27:24.it on when it mattered. I'm still young, only 23. You know to be
:27:25. > :27:29.double Olympic champion already is crazy. And now - I just can't
:27:30. > :27:32.believe it to be honest. You know, before the competition I have been
:27:33. > :27:35.crying in the sessions. You can't see it happening because you know
:27:36. > :27:40.you're so stressed and training all the time. But, you know, I did it
:27:41. > :27:44.when it mattered. Very different atmosphere obviously to London 2012
:27:45. > :27:46.with the home crowd four years ago, but massive support for you still
:27:47. > :27:50.tonight and that must have helped. Definitely, always helps me a lot.
:27:51. > :27:53.My family and friends, they mean the world to me. So much support win or
:27:54. > :27:59.lose, that does mean a lot. Everybody back home in Flint, I
:28:00. > :28:03.think there's like so many people in the - whatever the pub is called!
:28:04. > :28:08.It's amazing. So much support. Massive congratulations to you both.
:28:09. > :28:14.Cheers, thank you, thank you. You know what's incredible? Jade
:28:15. > :28:19.Jones is just 23 years old! Utterly remarkable stuff. There he is the
:28:20. > :28:23.main man - Usain Bolt. You won't miss a beat live here because we'll
:28:24. > :28:29.be crossing to the 200m final very shortly. Back to Gabi and the team,
:28:30. > :28:34.but let's go to Nick where he's at the Carioca this evening. This is
:28:35. > :28:36.just an amazing story of Jade Jones. It gets better and better, Nick.
:28:37. > :28:41.Absolutely incredible. What a final that was. To come out and perform
:28:42. > :28:45.like that under such pressure, not that she just, you know, has from
:28:46. > :28:48.back home having been the Olympian champion last time and a lot of
:28:49. > :28:51.people expecting her to defend the gold medal, but to actually do it
:28:52. > :28:55.when there's all the pressure she puts on herself as well. It was
:28:56. > :28:59.absolutely incredible. She is such a leader in this sport. She's embraced
:29:00. > :29:03.that role. Gone out there yet again, performed when it real lit mattered
:29:04. > :29:06.and continues to put her sport on the map. But also what was
:29:07. > :29:10.interesting about the fight is that she didn't panic. It was still very
:29:11. > :29:16.close in the second round, Nick? That was it. This was the first time
:29:17. > :29:21.she had been challenged all day. She breezed through her three fights
:29:22. > :29:24.before that, unlike Eva Calvo Gomez who scraped through her first round
:29:25. > :29:28.and relied on the sudden death. It was going to be interesting how Jade
:29:29. > :29:33.reacted when she was pushed against a very top competitor and yet again
:29:34. > :29:37.she comes out and didn't panic. When it got close, when Eva Calvo Gomez
:29:38. > :29:40.was drawing herself back into the game and on previous occasions we
:29:41. > :29:44.spoke about the rivalry there's been and obviously the difficulties that
:29:45. > :29:48.Jade's had, beating Eva Calvo Gomez in previous years, but she forgot
:29:49. > :29:54.all of that, put it way behind her and delivered when it really
:29:55. > :29:59.mattered. It was such a strong performance. For someone who is just
:30:00. > :30:03.23, we expect hopefully may not just have just one, but maybe two Olympic
:30:04. > :30:13.games in her. I was thinking about this today when I was looking at all
:30:14. > :30:17.the British fans who turned up to watch Alistair and Jonny Brownlee,
:30:18. > :30:23.we know we have a great team spirit, I wonder if Jade saw the success
:30:24. > :30:28.that Great Britain are having and thinking, "This is my night again."
:30:29. > :30:32.Absolutely. It's a certainly when you're having a medal success in the
:30:33. > :30:36.squad, even in individual sports, it creates that feel good vibe.
:30:37. > :30:40.Everyone wants to go out to win for themselves and their sport, but also
:30:41. > :30:43.for the whole Team GB. As we mentioned for the support there is
:30:44. > :30:46.back home. There have been so many British fans around the Olympic Park
:30:47. > :30:50.that we have been seeing over the last 13 days of competition, they
:30:51. > :30:54.were certainly out in force tonight as she performed in front of them
:30:55. > :30:57.yet again. Nick Hope, at the Carioca, thank you very much indeed.
:30:58. > :31:02.So if you're just tuning in, you just missed a phenomenal fight -
:31:03. > :31:04.Jade Jones has won another gold medal for Great Britain.
:31:05. > :31:06.Congratulations to you Jade Jones. Right, now it's all about this man
:31:07. > :31:48.next. Usain Bolt, it's gold for Usain
:31:49. > :31:55.Bolt. He's done it again. A new world record for Usain Bolt.
:31:56. > :32:03.It is Bolt time in just a few minutes' time. He'll be out on the
:32:04. > :32:08.track ready to run the 200m final. If he wins it, it will be his eighth
:32:09. > :32:13.Olympic gold. He's on his way to a treble-treble. I was going to say
:32:14. > :32:18.historic, unprecedented. I'm fairly sure to say never to be repeated if
:32:19. > :32:21.he does it. I don't think any time soon anyone would do that. You never
:32:22. > :32:26.know what another great athlete is going to come along and be able to
:32:27. > :32:31.duplicate this sort of thing, but it won't be any time soon. This is the
:32:32. > :32:36.second part in the three-part series of Bolt trying to duplicate this
:32:37. > :32:40.feat for the third time winning the 100, 200 and four by 100 relay. I
:32:41. > :32:45.don't see anyone standing in his way tonight, but again you have to run
:32:46. > :32:49.the races and the guys aren't going to let him have it. We saw Andre De
:32:50. > :32:54.Grasse run him to the tape. Maybe that was practice. "Maybe if I do
:32:55. > :32:59.now, and feels like, I can do it in the final." He's on the inside and
:33:00. > :33:05.Merritt as well. They're going to factor into the medals. De Grasse
:33:06. > :33:08.perhaps 100 to 200. But he looked good last night. And Lemaitre
:33:09. > :33:16.produced some form as well N the other race, if there another race
:33:17. > :33:21.behind Bolt, it's hard to predict where the medals are going to go.
:33:22. > :33:27.And there's also Adam Gemili. Alonso Edward has been running well from
:33:28. > :33:31.Panama. Lemaitre is coming around at the right time running 20.01 this
:33:32. > :33:36.year, ran down the semifinals. There were lot of sub-20 second times in
:33:37. > :33:41.the semifinals, that is what is going to make this a fast race.
:33:42. > :33:44.There's a lot of Jamaican support. It's as busy as we have seen it.
:33:45. > :33:49.Certainly since last Saturday, Denise. It rained for about 20
:33:50. > :33:53.minutes, about 30 minutes or so ago. The air has got cooler, a bit of a
:33:54. > :33:58.breeze. So might affect the time. Would it affect the race too much? I
:33:59. > :34:05.don't think so. I think like Michael said, this is a forgone conclusion.
:34:06. > :34:09.Bolt should and will win this. You know, we saw him looking relaxed.
:34:10. > :34:13.This is part of his game strategy. This is such an important event for
:34:14. > :34:17.him. He loves the 200m. He wants to dominate it, and he wants to
:34:18. > :34:22.dominate it big. This could be the last time we ever see him run 200m.
:34:23. > :34:25.It could be and he knows it. This is certainly the last time he's going
:34:26. > :34:30.to be on this stage, the biggest stage of all in athletes - the
:34:31. > :34:34.Olympic Games. And I'm sure he'll want to go out where a bang. He
:34:35. > :34:39.really enjoys this. He'll want to soak up the moment and really
:34:40. > :34:44.entertain the crowd. But, you know, I wonder - I know he's confident but
:34:45. > :34:49.at the same time, he has not been as dominant as we have seen him before.
:34:50. > :34:54.You got De Grasse, you got Merritt, you got Alonso Edward, all of these
:34:55. > :34:57.guys have run very, very fast with De Grasse and Merritt both running
:34:58. > :35:02.under 20 seconds, and easing up both of them in the semifinals. So, you
:35:03. > :35:07.know, if Usain Bolt - obviously we know when he's at his best, no one
:35:08. > :35:12.can get close to him, but if he's not - and we know he's not his best
:35:13. > :35:15.this year, we saw that in the 100m - it could get a little bit
:35:16. > :35:18.competitive. And that - you know, that would be entertaining to see.
:35:19. > :35:23.You know, it's hard to predict at this point what sort of 200m shape
:35:24. > :35:27.he's actually in. And Adam Gemili was disappointed with his semifinal.
:35:28. > :35:31.He got through as one of the fastest losers and you were talking through
:35:32. > :35:34.yesterday his race and his shoulders were bunched up and looked tight
:35:35. > :35:39.around his chest. How much of a difference could it make to his time
:35:40. > :35:42.if he can just get his body right in that final straight? In fact, he
:35:43. > :35:46.wasn't good at his bend either? He was OK around the bend, what he made
:35:47. > :35:50.the mistake is on the straight and that started as soon as he came off
:35:51. > :36:00.the bend, so we're talking about a good 100m of running tight and so
:36:01. > :36:06.each one of those strides is, you know, affecting you by millions --
:36:07. > :36:09.millimetres and Mill seconds, once you made that mistake it's
:36:10. > :36:14.compounded and the effect can be massive. Then that works in the
:36:15. > :36:17.opposite direction as well. When you're more fluid, you're not
:36:18. > :36:21.slowing down as fast, everyone is slowing down at the end of that
:36:22. > :36:26.race, it's a very long sprintd. It's who's slowing down the slowest. And
:36:27. > :36:28.that's what you want to document you do that by maintaining your
:36:29. > :36:32.relaxation, maintaining your form and technique and letting the race
:36:33. > :36:36.come to you and just letting it do what it does instead of trying to
:36:37. > :36:40.force it. And I believe he was trying to force it and he recognised
:36:41. > :36:43.that. I was going to say the important thing - is immediately
:36:44. > :36:47.after the race, Adam said he recognised where he went wrong. And
:36:48. > :36:52.that is so important and so all he needs to do is stay relaxed. He's
:36:53. > :36:56.got to run a great bend. Actually, if he runs his race, he could be in
:36:57. > :37:00.contention. I think we're going to enjoy this.
:37:01. > :37:05.Let's go down to our commentary team.
:37:06. > :37:15.If this is to be the last of his major 200m, then hopefully he has
:37:16. > :37:24.got something special in store for us. The full start list there -
:37:25. > :37:28.Guliyev, Gemili, Edward, De Grasse, Merritt, Bolt, Lemaitre and Martina.
:37:29. > :37:33.The 200m final. Martina on the outside. Little bit of a strapping
:37:34. > :37:45.on his leg - the Dutchman. Well, the great gladiator into the
:37:46. > :37:50.arena, I guess, for the last time. He's taken on all-comers over the
:37:51. > :37:56.last eight years in major championships. Nobody's really got
:37:57. > :38:04.that close, have they? But this is a good field, the point has been made.
:38:05. > :38:08.Had the fast times in the semifinal. Martina has followed Bolt through to
:38:09. > :38:13.2012 and 2016, well done for him to here as well. Lemaitre,
:38:14. > :38:17.rediscovering some form of old. The Frenchman who took Europe by storm
:38:18. > :38:25.in 2010 in the Olympic final. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:38:26. > :38:35.One more spin around the bend! ANNOUNCER: Usain Bolt!
:38:36. > :38:45.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The crowd respond to their hero.
:38:46. > :38:50.LaShawn Merritt, at 200m, he's quicker than Carl Lewis. 12th on the
:38:51. > :39:00.all-time list. He's looking for a medal at the very least. And this
:39:01. > :39:08.massive talent from Canada - Andre De Grasse. Whenever the phrase the
:39:09. > :39:12.bronze figure of Andre De Grasse is true, he's won three bronze medals
:39:13. > :39:16.now, he says if he's going for the world record, I'm going with him!
:39:17. > :39:20.That will be interesting to see. In 2009 when Bolt ran that 19.19 world
:39:21. > :39:24.record in Berlin, this is the man who followed him home - Alonso
:39:25. > :39:36.Edward. Seems a long time ago now. He's still only 26. Adam Gemili from
:39:37. > :39:42.Blackheath and Bromley Club. 20.07 this year. If he could go under 20
:39:43. > :39:47.seconds, that would be a huge achievement here. Guliyev on the
:39:48. > :39:49.inside running for Turkey. So every single man in this field has run
:39:50. > :40:06.under 20 seconds. On your marks... So Bolt perhaps for
:40:07. > :40:13.the very last time in a major championship goes into his blocks at
:40:14. > :40:20.the start of the 200m. A journey which begun when he was just
:40:21. > :40:22.15-years-of-age. What history is written, what more does he have for
:40:23. > :40:38.us? Quiet, please, Mr Bolt is about to
:40:39. > :40:42.start. He gets away well. Already away from Merritt. De Grasse is
:40:43. > :40:47.going well around the bend as well. Gemili trying to get into the race
:40:48. > :40:52.with Edward, but it's Usain Bolt on his own as he's been throughout his
:40:53. > :40:58.career. Usain Bolt - running away from everybody. Running to what he
:40:59. > :41:01.loved to be immortality as an athlete. It's a gold. His eighth
:41:02. > :41:12.gold! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:41:13. > :41:17.No world records this time. Even Usain Bolt couldn't deliver on a
:41:18. > :41:26.rainy night in Rio, but I don't think any of us expected that.
:41:27. > :41:31.Number one! Well, if that is it, if we never see him again in a 200m
:41:32. > :41:37.final, it would be a real shame, but then what we need to do is reflect
:41:38. > :41:49.on what this man has done. Gemili got fourth. Lemaitre cannot believe
:41:50. > :41:55.it. He took the bronze medal in the same time as Gemili. I was so
:41:56. > :41:58.wrapped up with Bolt and said Gemili was being pulled through by Alonso
:41:59. > :42:08.Edward. He was almost there in the end. And I'm sure he would forgive
:42:09. > :42:11.the crowd and everybody else for concentrating on that man there.
:42:12. > :42:16.They're all looking up at the screen and can't believe the result. De
:42:17. > :42:24.Grasse has expected the silver medal and Lemaitre, goodness me - outside
:42:25. > :42:34.20 seconds as well. If this is it, what on earth are we going to do
:42:35. > :42:40.without him? Colin... You know, Steve, my heart goes out to this
:42:41. > :42:46.young man - Adam Gemili. To be fourth place with exactly the same
:42:47. > :42:49.time as the bronze medallist - Christophe Lemaitre - which some
:42:50. > :42:54.would expected to have beaten coming into this competition, is going to
:42:55. > :42:58.be - oh, truly, truly a bitter, bitter pill for him to deal with.
:42:59. > :43:02.Look at his head, he cannot believe it. No doubt the British team will
:43:03. > :43:06.say - can we have a look at that photo please? They'll study it and
:43:07. > :43:11.try to get a bronze medal if it's actually there. But you know, once
:43:12. > :43:16.the result goes up nowadays, they're pretty accurate in what they do. So
:43:17. > :43:19.Adam will be devastated, no doubt. But you know - he's still fourth in
:43:20. > :43:21.the world. He's got to remember that and he's got a bright, bright future
:43:22. > :43:36.ahead of him. OK, so Usain Bolt, he's taken a bow
:43:37. > :43:41.and, well, family of supported him, of course, through all of that and
:43:42. > :43:50.been there on so many occasions to see him, unbelievably. And what a
:43:51. > :43:55.journey he's had us all on. Gemili was right into it up to the bend and
:43:56. > :44:00.then it was a scrap for the medals after that. He wanted to get on
:44:01. > :44:04.Christophe Lemaitre very quickly. I think that was probably upset
:44:05. > :44:08.someone like LaShawn Merritt who wasn't expecting him to go out so
:44:09. > :44:16.hard. And Andre De Grasse said he wanted to go with Usain and that is
:44:17. > :44:20.exactly what he has done. To behold Usain through to that silver medal
:44:21. > :44:22.position, he'll be pleased with that. Many of the athletes would be
:44:23. > :44:28.disappointed with the time. They would hope that clock would have
:44:29. > :44:31.stopped at something like 19.4, 19.5, which would have dragged
:44:32. > :44:36.everybody down to a much quicker performance. Look at that, Colin!
:44:37. > :44:40.From this side it almost would have said Martina. Lemaitre is a bit
:44:41. > :44:44.taller than the other two, might have just got to also a tiny bit in
:44:45. > :44:52.front. I was looking for closely at those lines, and it did look to me
:44:53. > :44:57.that Christophe Lemaitre had just, just, just edged it. Michael, what
:44:58. > :45:02.is your thoughts? Well, I expected a little bit faster, Colin, but the
:45:03. > :45:07.race is what it is and Bolt immediately jumped out to the lead,
:45:08. > :45:11.never relinquished it. We knew it was going to be a race for the
:45:12. > :45:14.medals. I knew this was going to be an interesting race for the medals
:45:15. > :45:18.behind bolt. There you see it, just very, very tight on the line. But De
:45:19. > :45:22.Grasse followed Bolt, as he said he would. Ran a quality race for a
:45:23. > :45:29.silver. But then extremely tight on the line there. I think that Gemili,
:45:30. > :45:33.Lemaitre, Chura in, dy couldn't have done a better job, all timed it
:45:34. > :45:37.perfectly and the results are what they are. LaShawn Merritt in the
:45:38. > :45:41.Middle of the track, never was in it, didn't have the foot speed to
:45:42. > :45:45.match the rest of the guys, and tried to come through with the 400m
:45:46. > :45:51.strength in the end. But these guys are too fast. Coming over from the
:45:52. > :45:57.100m and this was a quality race. You take Bolt out of it, that was
:45:58. > :46:03.fantastic for him. 19.79. But tight on the line for all of the other
:46:04. > :46:06.guys. It was a quality race just not being able to separate. You see
:46:07. > :46:11.right there - Gemili - I mean Lemaitre is ahead. I think Churandy
:46:12. > :46:15.is just a hair back from Gemili. Gemili timed his lean just right. I
:46:16. > :46:19.don't think he could have done more to get that bronze. I think he
:46:20. > :46:23.executed as well as he could. If you look at the time isn't as fast as
:46:24. > :46:27.what he ran in the semifinal, but if you look at his race and his
:46:28. > :46:31.position versus the other guys, there were guys in there who ran 19
:46:32. > :46:37.seconds in the semifinals, like Merritt. And he was able to finish
:46:38. > :46:40.ahead of him. So around this bend, Bolt just establishes himself,
:46:41. > :46:44.Lemaitre great job, just not trying to respond to Bolt, let him go and
:46:45. > :46:48.then use the strength coming down the home stretch, which he does.
:46:49. > :46:54.Look at that right there! I mean, seven guys all right there together.
:46:55. > :46:57.Six guys trying to all get in there for those medals. That was quality
:46:58. > :47:03.racing. I was a little disappointed in the time. I would have thought -
:47:04. > :47:09.I expected Bolt to run maybe 19.6 or seven, I thought. He may not be in a
:47:10. > :47:12.great a shape as we like for him or seen him in the past, but I expect
:47:13. > :47:15.the guys like LaShawn Merritt and Andre De Grasse to go under 19
:47:16. > :47:23.seconds. Again maybe challenge Bolt a little bit. Lemaitre 20.01 in the
:47:24. > :47:26.semifinals but none of them went under 20 other than Bolt. LaShawn
:47:27. > :47:31.Merritt struggling there, but Bolt relieved, full of joy knowing he has
:47:32. > :47:38.done it. He has completed at least in his individual events, he has
:47:39. > :47:42.completed the triple. A fantastic performance by a fantastic and
:47:43. > :47:48.amazing competitor. Adam Gemili is with me, track-side
:47:49. > :47:51.now. Adam, we always say that's the coolest place to finish, in fourth.
:47:52. > :47:58.I know it's full of emotion for you, but what a performance in an Olympic
:47:59. > :48:03.final. Yeah, I'm just heartbroken. I put so much into that - into that
:48:04. > :48:10.run, and I lost my form at the end. And I just took it so close. It's
:48:11. > :48:18.heartbreaking. Gutted. Just absolutely gutted. It's a margin of
:48:19. > :48:24.3,000ths of a second. Makes harsher in a way, but the way you ran your
:48:25. > :48:28.race in the first Olympic time, can you begin to take some pride from
:48:29. > :48:33.it? Yeah, I was on the inside, and I knew Bolt was going to go and I knew
:48:34. > :48:38.a lot of people were going to go with him, my coach and I said, let
:48:39. > :48:42.them go, be a bit more conservative, because yesterday I had a look at
:48:43. > :48:46.the race, I hit the bend really hard, save a bit for when you come
:48:47. > :48:50.into the straight and you start to go past people and I did. I just
:48:51. > :48:54.lost my form in the end. But it's been a fantastic season for myself
:48:55. > :48:58.and my team around me, my family, and my friends at home and my
:48:59. > :49:02.girlfriend. I have had such amazing support from everyone in the UK and
:49:03. > :49:06.around the world. I just - I want to say thank you very much to them. It
:49:07. > :49:13.means a lot. I'm just gutted I couldn't do it. Bring home a medal
:49:14. > :49:16.for GB. Yeah, it's... Colin Jackson said in commentary -
:49:17. > :49:19.22-years-of-age, you're on the upward curve, there's so much more
:49:20. > :49:25.to come from you in years to come. You love this arena. Yeah, this is
:49:26. > :49:28.what - this is the fun bit of competing, at the championships. We
:49:29. > :49:32.have a big year next year in London, and I just can't wait to go out
:49:33. > :49:38.there and put this right because I'm really gutted. I'm so gutted. You
:49:39. > :49:41.have no idea. To miss out on an Olympic medal, fourth place is
:49:42. > :49:45.probably the worst place, it's so close and at the same time it's
:49:46. > :49:50.heartbreaking. I got no words. Hopefully next year I can make it
:49:51. > :49:54.right for the team, and like ill said - in my speech, we're not here
:49:55. > :49:59.to feel lanes anymore. Four Europeans in that field and Team GB
:50:00. > :50:03.and especially in the 200m, we got guys who can make the final and
:50:04. > :50:11.push. We will continue to do so. So, yeah. Shame didn't work out tonight.
:50:12. > :50:16.But I'll reconvene with my coach. As team captain, you have done your
:50:17. > :50:22.team proud. Thank you so much. Well, you can see the frustration
:50:23. > :50:28.there of Adam Gemili. And there the results. The reason why just missing
:50:29. > :50:32.out on a medal there - Lemaitre delighted he was, wasn't he, to just
:50:33. > :50:38.sneak that bronze. Andre De Grasse, well he's moved away from the bronze
:50:39. > :50:42.medals at last. Got a silver medal. That is Usain Bolt's slowest
:50:43. > :50:47.championship winning 200m, and, well, he knows as much as anybody
:50:48. > :50:53.else that if that is the last one it was a great one. His eighth Olympic
:50:54. > :51:00.gold medal, of course. And, just the four by 100m relay to come for the
:51:01. > :51:06.triple-triple. What a mix of emotions tonight.
:51:07. > :51:09.Usain Bolt, I imagine, number one emotion - relief. Relief and joy.
:51:10. > :51:14.You know, this is what it's all about. I mean, as an athlete, he
:51:15. > :51:19.loves running the relay, we all love running the relays, but at the end
:51:20. > :51:25.of the day, your career is about what you do at the individual event.
:51:26. > :51:29.He's done that. No matter what he has done from this point on, he's
:51:30. > :51:34.done what no one else has done, and may never do ever again, at least
:51:35. > :51:37.not in our lifetime. And so, yeah, I'm sure there's a tremendous amount
:51:38. > :51:41.of relief from the injuries that he suffered earlier in the year, you
:51:42. > :51:46.know, and it's been tough, his health has been something that he's
:51:47. > :51:50.had to manage much better and pay much more attention to, you know,
:51:51. > :51:55.and sort of put aside the motivation that, you know, sustained him for so
:51:56. > :51:59.long which was, "I'm going to run faster and faster and faster" and
:52:00. > :52:02.replace that with, "Now I need to cross the finish line ahead of
:52:03. > :52:07.everybody else." He's done that. I feel a lightening bolt coming, no,
:52:08. > :52:12.what he's doing now. He's kissing the track and he is going to give a
:52:13. > :52:15...a lightening bolt moment! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:52:16. > :52:22.He's out there doing his lightening bolt! We just missed that. He's
:52:23. > :52:27.lapping up the adulation of the crowd as he always does. And he's so
:52:28. > :52:33.good at that. It's just so natural, nothing forced about this. This is a
:52:34. > :52:38.completely - there it is! And that was what the great cheer was for,
:52:39. > :52:44.Denise. What the crowd is still doing - is chanting his name "Usain
:52:45. > :52:47.Bolt, Usain Bolt." Just incredible what he brings to stadiums around
:52:48. > :52:54.the world. Boy, are we going to miss him. Boy, are we going to miss him!
:52:55. > :52:58.He's been a fantastic ambassador, great athlete, and is in the history
:52:59. > :53:05.books. There'll be no one else like him. And just a word on Adam Gemili
:53:06. > :53:09.as well, you know - 3,000th of a second is the difference. It's
:53:10. > :53:16.literally nothing. And - but it's everything. It's everything. It's
:53:17. > :53:22.huge. And he is so disappointed now. He hoped, he hoped and he hoped, and
:53:23. > :53:27.he looked up and realised - no, not now. It physically crushed him.
:53:28. > :53:32.Fifth in the world championships in 2013. He tore his hamstring last
:53:33. > :53:41.year, couldn't compete in Beijing. He's very good on the big stage. So
:53:42. > :53:45.close, big respect for you, and this huge respect for him, he is mixing
:53:46. > :53:49.it and consistently so. I believe that he represents a new attitude of
:53:50. > :53:56.British sprinters. I have been in this role for a very long time -
:53:57. > :54:00.since 2004 - and I remember when British sprinters weren't as hungry
:54:01. > :54:03.and weren't coming off after a disappointing race and saying, "You
:54:04. > :54:06.know, I'm disappointed, I have should have done better", he was
:54:07. > :54:11.very hard on himself, I thought. That was a tough ask, but you want
:54:12. > :54:16.to see that disappointment. That's what - I know it's tough for him and
:54:17. > :54:20.I feel for him, but at the same time, I also can appreciate that he
:54:21. > :54:24.knows that I - I'm right there and I don't - I don't want to settle. I
:54:25. > :54:30.don't want to settle. I want a medal. And he will take that into
:54:31. > :54:33.next year and follow training. When he's had a year removed from his
:54:34. > :54:38.injury, that will serve him well. That's why he's in this final,
:54:39. > :54:41.getting in on time, but being able to get himself into this final is
:54:42. > :54:44.because of his drive and determination and coming off the
:54:45. > :54:48.track and being able to articulate what he needs to improve, that will
:54:49. > :54:52.serve him well. I'd like to see that and I want to see him successful. He
:54:53. > :54:58.also has to understand, though, as well time is running out. You know,
:54:59. > :55:03.I mean, Phil said there - you're 22. But Andre De Grasse is 21. Time is
:55:04. > :55:05.not quite running out but there are othering comes as well. There's
:55:06. > :55:10.others coming. It's not going to be his stage. The thing is - is you
:55:11. > :55:13.want to get this done in short order, because you feed off of that
:55:14. > :55:21.momentum so the momentum needs to keep coming. I don't think he'll get
:55:22. > :55:28.a copy of that picture. No, he should, that's the motivation. Like
:55:29. > :55:31.KJT's... Yes, part of the disappointment is those
:55:32. > :55:36.opportunities don't come around that often. I mean let's face it - that
:55:37. > :55:42.200m race was not the quickest. We have seen so many quick ones in
:55:43. > :55:47.times gone by, he knows that to finish fourth so agonisingly close
:55:48. > :55:50.is a bitter pill to swallow. He's got to run sub-20 more consistently
:55:51. > :55:55.to be really pushing those guys. Yes, I completely agree with you,
:55:56. > :55:59.Denise. But the whole feel, though, kind of - you get the sense that
:56:00. > :56:03.there was - that the atmosphere wasn't right for those sorts of
:56:04. > :56:08.times because no one ran under 20 seconds. So I don't know that Adam
:56:09. > :56:11.could run under 20s if Andre De Grasse didn't even run under 20
:56:12. > :56:19.seconds. Usain Bolt as you can see is with Phil joens. Let's -- Jones.
:56:20. > :56:22.Let's hear what he has to say. Great man. Can you get your around what
:56:23. > :56:29.you have achieved? No, no, definitely not. It's something that
:56:30. > :56:33.you work so hard for short years. When this moment comes, you're happy
:56:34. > :56:36.but also relieved to have done it because you really want it and so
:56:37. > :56:39.much things could have gone wrong and the fact that I came here and
:56:40. > :56:43.executed and everything worked out is a brilliant feeling. When you
:56:44. > :56:49.crossed the line, there was a bit of frustration, was there? I was
:56:50. > :56:54.unhappy with the time. My body would not respond to me. You know what I
:56:55. > :56:58.mean? Just I'm getting older, not as young and fresh, but just one of
:56:59. > :57:01.those things. I'm excited I got the gold medal and that's the key thing.
:57:02. > :57:05.You deliver on the track. Tell me how you do it in spite of all the
:57:06. > :57:08.media circus, everything that goes around Usain Bolt, the man, the
:57:09. > :57:13.legend? I don't watch that. I focus on what I need to do because I know
:57:14. > :57:17.if I don't do it, then there won't be any Usain Bolt. I know what I
:57:18. > :57:21.have to do, I come out and get it done, that's my focus. It's your
:57:22. > :57:26.last Olympics we know that. You said you won't compete in the Worlds next
:57:27. > :57:31.year, are we going to see you over the 200 again. If I run - when I
:57:32. > :57:35.come to championships, I'll only do the 100m, definitely feel like that
:57:36. > :57:40.would be the last one for me. This is your last 200 at a major? I want
:57:41. > :57:44.to say no, but my coach has a way of trying to convince me. Personally, I
:57:45. > :57:46.think this is my last one. Usain, you have been ale great champion.
:57:47. > :57:50.Always fantastic to talk to you, congratulations. I want to say to
:57:51. > :57:55.Steve, I'm going to watch, hopefully you commentate on this one, I'm
:57:56. > :58:00.looking forward to this one. (LAUGHTER)
:58:01. > :58:04.Of course you commentated brilliantly! He does, he listens,
:58:05. > :58:08.he's a student of printing, he listens to what people say, he's
:58:09. > :58:12.going to listen to what you say about this, Michael. He said he just
:58:13. > :58:16.didn't feel right in the home straight, did you see that when you
:58:17. > :58:20.watched the race the first time? The entire field just looked like - I
:58:21. > :58:25.don't know if it was the rain or if it was the - you know, the time, I
:58:26. > :58:28.don't know what it was, but it didn't look like a really fast race
:58:29. > :58:31.to me by anyone, not just by Bolt but by anyone, and certainly both
:58:32. > :58:34.both ran away from this field, you can see he's starting to get a
:58:35. > :58:38.little fatigued there, I thought they were going to start coming back
:58:39. > :58:42.to him, but they weren't able to respond. I was looking at Bolt and
:58:43. > :58:46.saw that he's not looking as quick, he's not looking as sharp and crisp
:58:47. > :58:51.as he normally does down the home stretch. He starts to fatigue out
:58:52. > :58:55.about 20m from the finish line, in that race he started to fatigue
:58:56. > :58:59.about 50-60m at the finish. I looked then at the rest of the field to see
:59:00. > :59:05.if they were going to respond, and they weren't able to. Even looked
:59:06. > :59:09.ranged in that race. His interviews are always great. Christophe
:59:10. > :59:14.Lemaitre - that's the moment he realised the bronze medal was his,
:59:15. > :59:17.and what an incredible rise back to form for him, because he hasn't
:59:18. > :59:21.shown that for a couple of seasons, and there Adam Gemili, the moment he
:59:22. > :59:25.found u out the bronze wasn't his. Just looking here again, you know,
:59:26. > :59:29.Bolt got up very quick, so did De Grasse, Merritt in the middle. He
:59:30. > :59:34.expected him to be in the mid but he didn't get out at all. At this point
:59:35. > :59:38.you can see already that Bolt is starting to labour and right here as
:59:39. > :59:41.well - I thought this was tough. He's kind of looking like - what's
:59:42. > :59:46.going on here? The rest of the guys couldn't respond at all to what
:59:47. > :59:49.looked like fatigue from Bolt. So I don't know if it got a little bit
:59:50. > :59:52.cooler today. There was a rain shower before, and that could have
:59:53. > :59:58.just thrown things off for the entire race. You see Bolt already
:59:59. > :00:03.starting to grimace there, looking up at the screen which indicates he
:00:04. > :00:06.has nothing left, I don't know what else I have, hopefully these guys
:00:07. > :00:10.aren't coming. He's looking at the screen again, we have never seen him
:00:11. > :00:13.looking at the screen that much to check his position and see how much
:00:14. > :00:17.ground those guys might be making up on him but they weren't making up
:00:18. > :00:23.any ground at all. But, you know, this was fantastic for Bolt. Again,
:00:24. > :00:28.you know, amazing feeling for him, I'm sure, to know this is all over,
:00:29. > :00:34.he has stamped his, you know, his place in history in the sport. He
:00:35. > :00:37.transscends this sport. He transcends sports in many ways. He
:00:38. > :00:41.has changed a lot of what sprinting is all about, what the sports
:00:42. > :00:47.scientists say, what the coaches say and believe - and in the future, I
:00:48. > :00:50.mean he is the model by which people will young future sprinters, people
:00:51. > :00:53.will identify talent based on, you know, system of the things that we
:00:54. > :00:59.have seen Usain Bolt do over the last eight years. Just the latest
:01:00. > :01:05.instalment in his Olympic odyssey. Looking for a fine nine, but now
:01:06. > :01:09.it's a great eight. They get away the first time but here comes Usain
:01:10. > :01:13.Bolt. Usain Bolt streaking away from the field. It's going to be gold for
:01:14. > :01:20.Jamaica, that is superb. It's a new world record!
:01:21. > :01:29.Away they go, and Usain Bolt already going past the guys as they weren't
:01:30. > :01:31.there. Watch the time. It's gold for Usain Bolt and a new world record! I
:01:32. > :01:41.do not believe it! Usain Bolt has it in his hands
:01:42. > :01:46.safely and away that round top end. It's Jamaica, one chance for gold.
:01:47. > :01:47.What's the time? It's a new world record! Three gold medals, three
:01:48. > :02:15.world records! It's a clean start. Bolt is out of
:02:16. > :02:20.the blocks really well. He's already storming around the bend. Look at
:02:21. > :02:27.Bolt go. It's a 3-metre lead. He's going to do it again. Gold all the
:02:28. > :02:30.way. You cannot argue. Here he goes. Bolt is away and gone. Jamaica with
:02:31. > :02:41.the gold again. And it's a new world record. Smashes it to pieces. Gatlin
:02:42. > :02:45.gets away. And Gatlin leading it at the moment but here comes Usain
:02:46. > :02:50.Bolt. Usain Bolt is going to take it. Usain Bolt gets it. What more
:02:51. > :02:56.does he have for us? He gets away well. Already away from Merritt. De
:02:57. > :03:01.Grasse is going well as well. But Usain Bolt on his own as he's been
:03:02. > :03:07.throughout his career. Usain Bolt running awe way from everybody.
:03:08. > :03:20.Running! Immortality as an athlete. 19.97.9. His eighth gold. So the
:03:21. > :03:26.great eight looks something like that. What an incredible haul it is
:03:27. > :03:30.and tomorrow night, it's the four x 100 metre relay, men and women and
:03:31. > :03:35.Usain Bolt will be relying on his team-mates to get the baton around
:03:36. > :03:39.to him so that he can take it home and the times that were produced
:03:40. > :03:44.today in the heats, it may well be a fight for the line? It could be a
:03:45. > :03:47.fight. You know, the four x 100 relay, the Jamaicans aren't as
:03:48. > :03:50.strong as they have been in the past. The Americans are very strong.
:03:51. > :03:53.There are some other teams that could have something there. The
:03:54. > :03:58.Japanese did very well today. They did do well. And it is always about
:03:59. > :04:03.the exchanges but the Jamaican, I can't remember the last time that
:04:04. > :04:07.the Jamaicans have actually dropped the baton. It doesn't happen for
:04:08. > :04:12.them. A lot of pressure on the guys running with him to get the baton
:04:13. > :04:16.there. If you were given the job of handing Usain Bolt the baton! I saw
:04:17. > :04:21.them interviewed today and I actually think that they don't feel
:04:22. > :04:29.the pressure. I don't. They want to win equally for themselves. Yes, the
:04:30. > :04:34.it is great but they are running for pride and for their own destinies. I
:04:35. > :04:41.love relay night so we have two cracking nights in store. But
:04:42. > :04:46.earlier this evening, you saw Eilidh Doyle going in the 400 metres finals
:04:47. > :04:50.here and besides Muhammad from the United States of America, it seemed
:04:51. > :04:53.like it was an open race behind and it ended up being a quick race as
:04:54. > :04:59.well because the heats in this weren't that strong, were they? They
:05:00. > :05:05.weren't. She was in lane one. There was no real indication where the
:05:06. > :05:08.medals were going to be destined. Obviously Muhammad strong, she's
:05:09. > :05:13.looked silky smooth throughout the rounds. Just beautiful technician.
:05:14. > :05:18.It was about her and the clock tonight. I think that Eilidh Doyle
:05:19. > :05:22.had a tough ask from lane one, it was always going to be a challenge
:05:23. > :05:26.for her. She didn't hurdle badly. She gave it everything but what
:05:27. > :05:34.happened in this race is that everybody raised their game. And as
:05:35. > :05:39.much as she was in... If she was in another lane but whether she had the
:05:40. > :05:46.flat speed to go with four women going sub-54. It was an incredible
:05:47. > :05:49.race. Most of the athletes here had run laster than Eilidh had run this
:05:50. > :05:55.year so in all fairness to her, and getting into this final was an
:05:56. > :06:00.achievement in itself. And I think that we always knew that Muhammad
:06:01. > :06:03.and Petersen from Denmark were going to be strong as well as Ashley
:06:04. > :06:10.Spencer. Let's see her thoughts then after the race. She spoke to Phil.
:06:11. > :06:14.Lane one, it was always going to be a tough ask but it seemed like you
:06:15. > :06:20.ran the race you way you wanted? Yeah, I can't really fault any of
:06:21. > :06:25.it, you know. It was smooth. I justice wasn't in there. And you
:06:26. > :06:28.know, I don't as disappointed as I did last year in Beijing. I came off
:06:29. > :06:32.the track last year in Beijing thinking that I could have done
:06:33. > :06:37.more. I may have felt like I nailed the race but I was in this today. I
:06:38. > :06:41.can't be too unhappy but obviously you always want more and you ran to
:06:42. > :06:44.run a PB or something. It feels bitter sweet now. Going forward,
:06:45. > :06:49.what do you take out of an experience like tonight? I think
:06:50. > :06:53.that I've got to look at it with my coach and analyse it and see where
:06:54. > :06:55.we can make improvements. I think that my hurdling was really good
:06:56. > :06:59.tonight so maybe just trying to work on the speed a little bit and get a
:07:00. > :07:07.little bit quicker. Thank you for talking to us. Thank you very much.
:07:08. > :07:09.First of all, a big congratulations because that was a wonderful
:07:10. > :07:12.performance to crown you Olympic champion. It's one thing being the
:07:13. > :07:15.favourite and another thing to deliver the way that you did. Tell
:07:16. > :07:20.me how you did it? I kept believing in myself. My coach, he had
:07:21. > :07:23.continued to motivate me. I was feeling really tired before the race
:07:24. > :07:26.but any time that you're about to run that fast, I feel that way so I
:07:27. > :07:31.was trusting myself and believing in my abilities and I was able to come
:07:32. > :07:34.up with the win today. Had you ever even maybe dared to dream of what
:07:35. > :07:38.might happen tonight if you won the gold medal? Definitely. I just kept
:07:39. > :07:43.praying about it and praying about it. I'm just... You kind of get so
:07:44. > :07:47.overwhelmed you want to stop thinking about it and let fate take
:07:48. > :07:53.its place and play itself out. How does the reality compare to the
:07:54. > :08:01.dream? Much, much better. I mean, when he said that I was the first
:08:02. > :08:08.American to win the gold medal for the hurdles 400. Enjoy the
:08:09. > :08:12.celebrations. Thank you so much. Well, some pretty snappy American
:08:13. > :08:16.hurdling has helped to propel them. Well, they were already at the top
:08:17. > :08:22.of the table but the gap has increased now. 25 medals on Jamaica
:08:23. > :08:26.on seven. Kenya behind them and then really it's just a mixture of
:08:27. > :08:29.Croatia, China, South Africa, Ethiopia. Nobody else really within
:08:30. > :08:32.reach of the top nations. Nobody is in reach of the United States of
:08:33. > :08:36.America. This has been pretty good for you guys? And the team is led by
:08:37. > :08:40.the women. It's been the women. The US women's team is extremely strong.
:08:41. > :08:43.If you look at all of the events, the women are bringing home most of
:08:44. > :08:49.the medals. Well said, we can't argue with that, can we? Michael has
:08:50. > :09:01.kind of admitted that we are the stronger sex! Who runs the world?
:09:02. > :09:05.Who runs the world - girls! Jason Mohammed, I don't think that we can
:09:06. > :09:11.say anything else. Can we? Thank you very much here. Nothing to
:09:12. > :09:15.say here other than brilliant night yet again Gabby and the team. Usain
:09:16. > :09:19.Bolt, what a sportsman and as for athletics, what does athletics or
:09:20. > :09:23.track and field, what does sport do when Usain Bolt decides to up the
:09:24. > :09:27.spikes? An incredible performer. What an Olympic champion. We are now
:09:28. > :09:31.going to talk about another Olympic champion. Jay Jones. If you've just
:09:32. > :09:36.tuned in, maybe been on the late shift and coming in and turning on
:09:37. > :09:43.the TV, Jay Jones is the double Olympic champion in tie quand owe.
:09:44. > :10:01.She's beaten -- Taekwando. Rising her to use the cut kick here.
:10:02. > :10:17.Six points there. And there is the stabbing cut kick to the body.
:10:18. > :10:27.A little bit of a come back and a chip and a charge. A real to usled
:10:28. > :10:31.affair. That is incredible but as you said, Calvo Gomez, caught up
:10:32. > :10:36.with the same technique but has to be careful as she gets in because
:10:37. > :10:47.Jones can change it. Another point picked up by Jones. Enormous tension
:10:48. > :10:54.and rivalry between these two. Will it be a repeat or will it be
:10:55. > :10:57.revenge? Jones hoping for her second Olympic title. She won it with the
:10:58. > :11:03.home crowd in London. She's on the road and she's here in Rio and she's
:11:04. > :11:09.on the road with a 5-point gap. Almost scoring with that head shot
:11:10. > :11:14.and again, great defence from Calvo Gomez. An excellent push point there
:11:15. > :11:22.from the Spanish fighter. Yeah, she just has to keep her head and
:11:23. > :11:28.composure, jade Jones. There is the head shot that puts Calvo Gomez back
:11:29. > :11:34.into this one. The Spanish fighter not giving up without a fight and
:11:35. > :11:37.Calvo Gomez, she's 7-6 behind in the matches. Jones trying one of her own
:11:38. > :11:42.and one thing is for sure, this is a classic. It is absolute classic and
:11:43. > :11:51.I think she's going to have a look and see what she's scored with
:11:52. > :11:56.earlier. And just go back to that. Look at that - quick change of
:11:57. > :11:59.direction there. The direction of the scores has changed quickly as
:12:00. > :12:10.well. Jones with the great physicality. This is Olympic
:12:11. > :12:15.taekwondo at its very, very best. Both women reeling and rocking here
:12:16. > :12:26.and Jones retreats. She was handily in the lead. Calvo Gomez has clawed
:12:27. > :12:29.it back. The coaching instruction is quite
:12:30. > :12:33.clear there. Forget that round. Give me your best two minutes, but it was
:12:34. > :12:40.the best two minutes from Calvo Gomez here. Yeah, I think absolutely
:12:41. > :12:44.right. It was fantastic for Gomez. Gomez absolutely came forward.
:12:45. > :12:52.Didn't she? And she was determined to pull that deficit back and she
:12:53. > :12:58.did. What a battle we've got here. It is. Coming into the last round
:12:59. > :13:03.here, it's anybody's match, this. So it all depends now on who wants it
:13:04. > :13:06.most and a little bit of a change of tactics from either fighter. I think
:13:07. > :13:12.that Eva Calvo Gomez did change the tactics and that's why she got the
:13:13. > :13:17.points. Big moments here in Brazil. The
:13:18. > :13:22.women's under 57 kg gold medal contest. Eva Calvo Gomez of Spain in
:13:23. > :13:26.red. Jade Jones, her opponent and you can guess what colour she's in.
:13:27. > :13:31.But what colour will they be carrying at the end. This the battle
:13:32. > :13:37.for gold or silver and Jones picks off a little hoop kick to the body.
:13:38. > :13:44.8-6 now, cancelled out by Calvo Gomez. Ebbing and flowing here. 8-7.
:13:45. > :13:49.Hanging against Jones. What a match. Wow, it is. It's a fantastic match.
:13:50. > :13:52.Great stuff here. Calvo Gomez absolutely taking the fight to
:13:53. > :14:02.Jones. Jones has to fire back. But it's an open match. It's an open
:14:03. > :14:04.final and that's why it's so close. Zbler so much tension and
:14:05. > :14:09.understandable impasse here. Jones goes for a head shot and she takes
:14:10. > :14:16.it. An absolute picture perfect shot there. Dropped a drop kick over the
:14:17. > :14:19.shoulder and electronic sensor in the head gear registered but one
:14:20. > :14:23.there for Calvo Gomez. Jones goes for the head again and she scores
:14:24. > :14:28.and she is doing so well here. Calvo Gomez reeling and rocking. She has
:14:29. > :14:32.to find a way to compose. Tries the reverse turning kick, the Spanish
:14:33. > :14:37.fighter. This, a real battle. It's fantastic stuff. Calvo Gomez going
:14:38. > :14:42.for the big points, of course. And Jade Jones just keeping her
:14:43. > :14:46.composure. Under pressure but the Olympic champion here, defending her
:14:47. > :14:55.Olympic title and wow, is she doing it well? Look at those points there.
:14:56. > :15:00.15.7. And the time there for Calvo Gomez to try to do something. Well,
:15:01. > :15:04.has it gone? As we go into the last 20 seconds. Jade Jones there has a
:15:05. > :15:07.look at Paul Green and asks for the video replay. They do and indeed,
:15:08. > :15:09.they decide to replay it. Well, could it get any more dramatic?
:15:10. > :15:18.Let's have a listen. There you go, the face kick is the
:15:19. > :15:26.request. How important this could be. Yeah, I think so. For me, I saw
:15:27. > :15:29.the head go back. But good call. Let's have a look at it. Jones
:15:30. > :15:35.pushes forward with the first phase. And does she get it to the face? She
:15:36. > :15:39.does not. The video replay unsuccessful and the score board the
:15:40. > :15:43.same. 15 points to the good. Ten seconds left. Jones takes another.
:15:44. > :15:53.Calvo Gomez on the back foot. Can she do it one more time? The Olympic
:15:54. > :16:00.champion? The Welsh wonder strikes gold again. Double Olympic champion
:16:01. > :16:06.to the delight of the British fans and the Brazilian crowd. She takes
:16:07. > :16:11.Paul Green on to the mat. She said that because of him, she found a
:16:12. > :16:15.love for the sport again. And Paul Green never won. To take the
:16:16. > :16:22.plaudits but he takes the delight here. Double Olympic champion and it
:16:23. > :16:27.was his charge, the Welsh wonder, the fighter from Flint who produces
:16:28. > :16:32.a tremendous response. Calvo Gomez, a superb silver. Disappointed but
:16:33. > :16:36.beaten by a clear margin. Yes, by a clear margin and she absolutely kept
:16:37. > :16:41.her cool, didn't she? Jade Jones, that was brilliant stuff. And I
:16:42. > :16:44.mean, she just racked up the points. But credit to Calvo Gomez because
:16:45. > :16:50.she came back into it. She never gave up. She kept coming forward.
:16:51. > :16:57.Jade Jones in the end, though, double Olympic champion.
:16:58. > :17:00.A massive congratulations. You defended the Olympic crown. Can you
:17:01. > :17:04.sum up how it feels tonight? It feels unbelievable. I can't really
:17:05. > :17:08.explain. I didn't realise how much pressure I would feel coming into
:17:09. > :17:13.this. Even the first few matches, I felt so pressured and tense and to
:17:14. > :17:18.pull it off. You know, my coach is a psycho, so! It's all down to him.
:17:19. > :17:23.And you know, the gate Britain team trained so hard. And even there!
:17:24. > :17:27.Come on Paul, join in. You're a big part of the achievement tonight. Sum
:17:28. > :17:32.up what she's achieved. That wasn't just a small victory. She destroyed
:17:33. > :17:37.the field today? Yeah, she delivers under pressure. I've said it before.
:17:38. > :17:39.She's done it before. She's the most successful British athlete in
:17:40. > :17:42.taekwondo in history and probably ever will be and the achievement is
:17:43. > :17:48.fantastic. And double Olympic champion. She's done everything. Can
:17:49. > :17:53.I just say a huge thank you to the National Lottery for funding the
:17:54. > :17:58.taxpayers that funded Jade to do the sport and Gary Hall, legend of a
:17:59. > :18:04.boss and keeps the GB tib tib team together. Keeps all of this possible
:18:05. > :18:08.and Jade from your perspective. Injure journey in the last four
:18:09. > :18:11.years hasn't been easy to cope with the pressure and become an Olympic
:18:12. > :18:15.champion, but you turned it on. I'm still young. Only 23. To be double
:18:16. > :18:19.Olympic champion already is crazy. And I just can't believe it to be
:18:20. > :18:22.honest. You know, before the competition, I have anticipate been
:18:23. > :18:25.crying in the sessions and you know, you just can't see it happening
:18:26. > :18:29.because you're so stressed and training all the time. But you know,
:18:30. > :18:33.I did it when it moered mattered and I'm buzzing. Very different
:18:34. > :18:36.atmosphere to London 2012 and the home crowd there, but massive
:18:37. > :18:40.support for you tonight and that must have helped? Definitely, always
:18:41. > :18:44.helps a lot. My family and friends mean the world to me. So much
:18:45. > :18:50.support win or lose and that means a lot and everyone back home, I think
:18:51. > :18:55.that there's so many people in whatever the pub is called, you
:18:56. > :18:56.know, it's amazing, so much support. Massive congratulations to you both.
:18:57. > :19:12.Chears, thank you. Jade Jones. Jade Jones, Olympic
:19:13. > :19:23.champion 2016. What a wonderful feat. And she used those wonderful
:19:24. > :19:27.feet to score perfect points. And a picture perfect finish for Jade
:19:28. > :19:35.Jones. Tremendous performer. And she won it in London. She's won it again
:19:36. > :19:41.here. Double gold-medallist. Two times Olympic champion. Jade Jones
:19:42. > :19:49.and she will now observe the national anthem of Great Britain.
:19:50. > :19:58.VOICEOVER: Ladies and gentlemen, the national anthem of Great Britain.
:19:59. > :20:44.How does that feel Jade Jones? Double Olympic champion. That is an
:20:45. > :20:47.incredible story. It's been amazing story for Jade Jones. In a recent
:20:48. > :20:50.newspaper interview, she said that she grew up in a council house and
:20:51. > :20:54.used to have big scraps with the boys and used to beat them up.
:20:55. > :21:01.Unbelievable. Fantastic. And shortly after being presented with the gold
:21:02. > :21:05.medal, she spoke to our reporter. Well, Jade, congratulations again.
:21:06. > :21:08.Fresh off the podium, you now have the second career Olympic gold
:21:09. > :21:12.medal. Tell us how special it is? It's just surreal to be honest. I
:21:13. > :21:16.still can't believe it. From London and be Olympic champion and to do it
:21:17. > :21:20.again, I felt like I had so much pressure coming in. I didn't realise
:21:21. > :21:24.how much it would be. And to do it again is just surreal. How different
:21:25. > :21:28.was that pressure from four years ago because going in there as the
:21:29. > :21:32.defending champion, everyone expects so much more from you? I didn't
:21:33. > :21:37.actually realise how much pressure it would be. It was only until today
:21:38. > :21:40.that I thought - woah, this is a lot of pressure and just like pressure
:21:41. > :21:43.on myself because I know that I'm the best, but in taekwondo, it
:21:44. > :21:48.doesn't always work like that. And I just wanted to win so much. And I've
:21:49. > :21:52.trained so hard for four years. And you know, I just wanted to win and
:21:53. > :21:56.to finally do that is just amazing. You've spoken so much about how your
:21:57. > :21:59.life changed and your profile went through the roof after London 2012.
:22:00. > :22:03.Competing out there. You've had to change your style and adapt and went
:22:04. > :22:06.from being the hunter, very much to the hundreded. Yeah, and I don't
:22:07. > :22:14.think that people realise how hard it is. Mentally, physically. It's
:22:15. > :22:18.draining. Training all the time. And my coach, Paul Green, he has his
:22:19. > :22:22.training all the time and although we moan, that's what works. And I've
:22:23. > :22:25.got him to thank for it and just all my family and friends. And all my
:22:26. > :22:30.family that come here and everybody back home in Flint. And the support
:22:31. > :22:34.has just been amazing. Again. And you know in Brazil and I've only got
:22:35. > :22:38.ten family members but the whole stadium were cheering again and it's
:22:39. > :22:41.just unbelievable. An absolutely incredible achievement. Hold up the
:22:42. > :22:44.gold medal and everybody back home what it means? Thank you so much for
:22:45. > :22:48.the support. It means the absolute world. Thank you.
:22:49. > :22:52.That is amazing and knowing Flint as I do, they will be dancing on the
:22:53. > :22:55.streets there, let me tell you that. They'll be having a few quiet cheeky
:22:56. > :23:00.beers tonight and tomorrow after that. That is absolutely brilliant.
:23:01. > :23:03.Jade Jones and her Twitter profile, she's got 55,000 followers the last
:23:04. > :23:08.time that I looked and telephone says on her bio, "I kick people in
:23:09. > :23:11.the head for a living and I love it" and she's a double Olympic campion.
:23:12. > :23:19.Well done, and that is a remarkable story. Let's bring you up to date
:23:20. > :23:24.with all of today's headlines. As if it was ever in doubt, Usain
:23:25. > :23:28.Bolt claims the eighth Olympic gold medal in victory in the 200 metres
:23:29. > :23:37.in a race that he said afterwards could well be his last ever major
:23:38. > :23:42.championship. 200 metre contest. Britain finished fourth, just
:23:43. > :23:46.3,000ths of a second shy. Alastair BrownLee led home brother Johnny for
:23:47. > :23:51.the triathlon and made him the first man to retain the title. The first
:23:52. > :23:58.brothers to win Olympic gold and silver in the same event since 1960.
:23:59. > :24:08.After being frustrated by the weather yesterday, Hannah Mills and
:24:09. > :24:20.Saskia Clark finally able to celebrate. A thrilling silver medal
:24:21. > :24:24.for Liam Heath and Schofield. They got it in a photo finish to upgrade
:24:25. > :24:32.the bronze they won in London four years ago. And Marcus el I wills and
:24:33. > :24:35.Chris Langrid earn the first Olympic badminton medal for 12 years for the
:24:36. > :24:44.play off matches in the men's doubles. They were brilliant.
:24:45. > :24:47.We would absolutely love it if you stay with us here on BBC One. Don't
:24:48. > :24:51.go to bed yet because we have fantastic sport still to come. The
:24:52. > :24:54.women's gold medal matches coming up next and then this is going to be
:24:55. > :24:58.huge. You may be able to see just behind that graphic, at the end of
:24:59. > :25:03.Copacabana Beach is the wonderful arena for the beach volleyball. It
:25:04. > :25:08.is the men's final - Italy v Brazil. That is it. See that thing flashing
:25:09. > :25:15.at the end of Copacabana Beach. That is the beach volleyball venue. It is
:25:16. > :25:22.ter of course. We're going to take you -- terrific. We're going to take
:25:23. > :25:32.you now to the women's wrestling. Erica Elizabeth Vaby against
:25:33. > :25:41.Kazakhstan and the 63 kilo clash. We start with the 53 kilo final.
:25:42. > :25:48.Now we move to the gold medal match in the women's 53 kg wrestling and
:25:49. > :26:14.this promises to be some match. The 13 time World Champion. Yoshida
:26:15. > :26:25.has only been beaten twice in her career. And is unbeaten since 2012
:26:26. > :26:26.and even before 2012. That's the immense hurdle that has to be
:26:27. > :27:13.overcome to win the gold medal. Almost willing to concede the point
:27:14. > :27:22.there. She's now got the one point advantage. The point there. The
:27:23. > :27:27.referee deemed Marulize wasn't active enough in that preceding two
:27:28. > :27:28.minutes of wrestling. 15 seconds to go until the end of the first
:27:29. > :27:46.period. Even a period of wrestling which we
:27:47. > :27:56.can describe as cat and mouse, that was it. It's cagey at the moment.
:27:57. > :28:00.Just the one point in it. Maroulis, after the violation and dropped the
:28:01. > :28:06.point, she did start to go for it a little bit more in the last 15-20
:28:07. > :28:11.seconds or so. Whether that will lead to something channelling into
:28:12. > :28:18.the next period or not we'll have to wait and see but wouldn't be
:28:19. > :28:23.surprised to see Maroulis going there. Second period under way in
:28:24. > :28:30.the gold medal match in the women's 53 kg class in the freestyle
:28:31. > :28:35.wrestling. Yoshida of Japan in the red and Maroulis of the United
:28:36. > :28:42.States in blue. Yoshida trying to become the sixth athlete in Olympic
:28:43. > :28:45.history to win individual gold medal at four consecutive gold medals. Now
:28:46. > :28:51.Maroulis is going to get the points down there. Great play and she's not
:28:52. > :28:55.done with yet. She's going for a gut-wrench. To try to get two more
:28:56. > :28:59.points. The referee says - let's go back to the centre, we're out of
:29:00. > :29:02.play. Just something about the way that Maroulis came out at the start
:29:03. > :29:11.there. She was aggressive, she went for it. Picked her opportunity and
:29:12. > :29:15.took it. Very tidy wrestling. Now the Japanese wrestler needs to come
:29:16. > :29:24.from a deficit. She's down 2-1. Still plenty of time left. Two
:29:25. > :29:27.minutes and a fraction longer. Maroulis has defended superbly in
:29:28. > :29:32.this competition so far but Yoshida has all of that experience.
:29:33. > :29:40.Remember, she's not been defeated in four years of competition. Has only
:29:41. > :29:45.been defeated twice in her career. She's a 13-time World Champion,
:29:46. > :29:52.Yoshida, and has won three Olympic Games gold medals in a row. Maroulis
:29:53. > :30:01.has got the advantage with just over 90 seconds to play. But it's the
:30:02. > :30:08.slimmest of margins. Well, what this might come down to now is Maroulis
:30:09. > :30:12.managing to get the right balance. Being able to be defensive enough
:30:13. > :30:18.while still staying active. Not incurring any vailations. Yoshida,
:30:19. > :30:24.she will bide her time for a bit longer. There will be absolutely no
:30:25. > :30:32.panic from her. But at some point, she's going to have to flick the
:30:33. > :30:38.switch, but it won't just be yet. Maroulis commanding the centre.
:30:39. > :30:50.She's pushed her in. That's another point to the American. That was very
:30:51. > :30:57.clever play Maroulis. And now it's 4-1. It's been upgraded a point. So
:30:58. > :31:02.the lead really commanding now. That was really important because it
:31:03. > :31:06.requires a much bigger score now from Yoshida. Moving into the final
:31:07. > :31:14.45 seconds of the bout. So this is going to be interesting with 30
:31:15. > :31:20.seconds left she's got to go big. She's got to score a four pointer.
:31:21. > :31:26.Yoshida pushing Maroulis out. Might get a point. Might get two. But she
:31:27. > :31:31.needs more. She's got 28 seconds left to create
:31:32. > :31:38.some history at the Olympic Games, Yoshida. And match her compat riate
:31:39. > :31:45.from earlier in the wrestling programme. This could be her
:31:46. > :31:51.opportunity. Maroulis is very strong, though. Ten seconds
:31:52. > :31:58.remaining and it's looking doubtful. Maroulis just nine seconds away from
:31:59. > :32:14.an amazing win. The American has got it! For the first time in over four
:32:15. > :32:19.years, Yoshida is beaten. And Maroulis of the United States has
:32:20. > :32:26.created a big upset here on the mat. An unbelievable win against one of
:32:27. > :32:32.the greatest wrestlers of all time. And she's done it on the big est
:32:33. > :32:39.stage. A gold medal match at the Olympic Games. Maroulis, the
:32:40. > :32:51.24-year-old from Colorado Springs is the Olympic champion. And the legend
:32:52. > :32:55.of Yoshida. She falls one agonising time short on four consecutive gold
:32:56. > :33:02.medals at four Olympics. The winner - Maroulis of the United States. She
:33:03. > :33:05.wins the gold medal. Yoshida of Japan has to settle for the silver
:33:06. > :33:16.medal. You'd have to say on reflection that
:33:17. > :33:20.Maroulis was in control of that gold medal match. Much as we have to
:33:21. > :33:24.admit, I guess the majority of the fans here and worldwide perhaps
:33:25. > :33:30.would have loved to have seen Yoshida create a bit of history.
:33:31. > :33:35.Maroulis was a deserved winner. It has to be one of the most
:33:36. > :33:40.sensational examples of match management and of handling the
:33:41. > :33:59.occasion that you could ever hope to see on a wrestling mat. Time for the
:34:00. > :34:03.gold medal bout in the 63 kg weight class as Mamashuk takes on Kaway of
:34:04. > :34:19.Japan. She is the world number three. She
:34:20. > :34:27.is the world number four. They will go for the number one place on the
:34:28. > :34:38.podium. The gold medal bout. 63 kg. Mamashuk
:34:39. > :34:42.in the red and Kawai in the blue. Who will take the opportunities and
:34:43. > :34:50.secure the key points, the key take downs?
:34:51. > :34:56.And this was the event dominated by Icho until the change of weights and
:34:57. > :35:02.the number of events post London 2012. So this is a big, big one for
:35:03. > :35:07.Risako Kawai and she's wasting no time here going attacking. Attacking
:35:08. > :35:11.right from the start. Picking up the two points very early on there. And
:35:12. > :35:17.she might go even further here. She's going for the turn and trying
:35:18. > :35:21.to get more. Mamashuk goes for the protection zone. Just the two to
:35:22. > :35:29.start. Well, you think that Mamashuk is a very good defensive wrestler.
:35:30. > :35:38.We've seen that through her earlier matches but going up against Kawai
:35:39. > :35:43.is a different story entirely. She's just a bundle of energy. Not afraid
:35:44. > :35:46.at that attack and make an early commitment and that got her the two
:35:47. > :35:53.points. Maybe unsettling her opponent. Still a lot of wrestling
:35:54. > :36:07.to do in this one. Just inside the first minute and a half there.
:36:08. > :36:16.Good looking and a fast pace here. A lot of footwork. A lot of
:36:17. > :36:19.opportunities and a lot of missed opportunities not a lot of
:36:20. > :36:22.opportunities for a big score. And this is the big difference for
:36:23. > :36:28.Mamashuk from the earlier fights. She's been dictating the speed of
:36:29. > :36:33.the bouts. She's the one that's been controlling but now she's on the
:36:34. > :36:36.back foot. She's having her opponent dictate to her the pace. This is
:36:37. > :36:44.more of what queve' seen from Mamashuk, the slow and griping style
:36:45. > :36:49.of wrestling. This may be what she's got to do, is just slow things down.
:36:50. > :36:55.Goes for the leg there but Kawai quickly on it. Now, can Kawai turn
:36:56. > :37:01.this around into an attacking position by getting the rotation
:37:02. > :37:09.around. Mamashuk looks to defend. No - back up into standing.
:37:10. > :37:16.So far, as we approach the halfway point. Just a couple of points on
:37:17. > :37:28.the early take-down from Risako Kawai. Now the single leg attempt
:37:29. > :37:32.from Mamashuk. She's got a strategy there. The second time she's gone
:37:33. > :37:35.for it and the second time that Kawai has got the block in there.
:37:36. > :37:43.Tried to turn it into a position of control. End of the period. Well,
:37:44. > :37:51.Mamashuk did well to come back into that period. It was just a ferocious
:37:52. > :37:55.start from Kawai there. Mamashuk will have the knowledge that she can
:37:56. > :38:00.defend but she's going to have to attack if she wants the gold medal
:38:01. > :38:05.at some point during this next three minutes. It's where we get the
:38:06. > :38:10.interesting dilemma. The psychology for the Belarussian. She's got to
:38:11. > :38:14.attack but knowing that that will leave her open to counterattack and
:38:15. > :38:25.counterattack is one of the most important things in freestyle. And
:38:26. > :38:29.there's an opportunity, quick rotation around for Mamashuk. Stop
:38:30. > :38:37.Kawai getting behind her and getting twot points. Yeah, the skills were
:38:38. > :38:44.tested to the fullest extent there, Mamashuk. Unless she's like that all
:38:45. > :38:49.the time and Kawai will get around and score, holding on really tightly
:38:50. > :38:53.to the legs there to stop Kawai moving around and picking up the
:38:54. > :38:57.2-point control. She's defending well. Really well. But this is going
:38:58. > :39:01.to become exhausting after a while. Yes, stamina is going to come into
:39:02. > :39:07.play. Still two minutes to go. Doesn't sound like it's a long
:39:08. > :39:12.period of time but in wrestling terms, it's a long, long way to go
:39:13. > :39:20.yet. And there it is there. This is the one that's going to score too.
:39:21. > :39:29.But the single leg and looking for further here as she tries to turn,
:39:30. > :39:33.Mamashuk is in difficulty now. This is where Kawai is proving relentless
:39:34. > :39:39.but the referee interseeds. So four now is the advantage moving into the
:39:40. > :39:44.last minute and a half and that's where it's looking difficult. Kawai
:39:45. > :39:50.so quick. And going in there. Still a little bit more speed is one of
:39:51. > :39:58.the major reasons she's in front heading into this last 90 seconds.
:39:59. > :40:02.It's the natural movement with Kawai that's so impressive. She gets
:40:03. > :40:05.around the back so far and she establishes a 90 degree movement so
:40:06. > :40:11.quickly and now going again for the leg. Mamashuk is trying to defend
:40:12. > :40:19.it. Trying to defend it. Now, this is one where they've both got to be
:40:20. > :40:26.incred careful here. Yes, Mamashuk could easily turn this into an
:40:27. > :40:32.attacking if she can turn her opponent over. That's what she's
:40:33. > :40:36.trying to do and as a result, Kawai is now defending, defending really,
:40:37. > :40:41.really hard here. Nothing doing there. Got to a stalemate. Now we're
:40:42. > :40:46.going to go back up to standing but that was a window of opportunity
:40:47. > :40:51.there potentially as we move into the last 40 seconds. Goes for the
:40:52. > :40:59.single leg. Kawai defending. Just backed away from that very nicely
:41:00. > :41:05.and just shut it down. Time is the enemy now for Mamashuk. Kawai that
:41:06. > :41:09.time didn't need to try to move around and establish the score. She
:41:10. > :41:19.just seemed to be happy to hold on there. Just a push away and now
:41:20. > :41:28.another two points. It's the six and that with ten seconds to go has got
:41:29. > :41:33.to be enough for Risako Kawai. Time elapses and she just holds Mamashuk
:41:34. > :41:40.down there on the mat. Pretty soon she'll be holding a gold medal in
:41:41. > :41:46.her hands. The 21-year-old from Japan has secured another gold medal
:41:47. > :42:01.for Japan here in women's freestyle wrestling. Well, she controlled that
:42:02. > :42:09.one throughout. Yeah, she sure did. That explosive start set the
:42:10. > :42:12.standards. Oh! Well, we have seen him lifted up on the shoulders
:42:13. > :42:24.there. We've not seen him thrown down there! That's a bit harsh on
:42:25. > :42:37.the coach there. No, that's better! That's more where he's used to being
:42:38. > :42:39.in there. Well, not only is she an outstanding wrestler but a great
:42:40. > :42:50.sense of humour as well. I'm glad that he was the victim of the falls
:42:51. > :42:56.and not you or I! Well, that leaves just the one match to come and it is
:42:57. > :43:17.for the gold medal in the women's 75 kg class here at Rio 2016.
:43:18. > :43:32.Here they come. The 27-year-old from Calgary. Commonwealth Games
:43:33. > :43:42.gold-medallist from gloss go. The world number two. -- Glasgow.
:43:43. > :43:47.Two extremely well matched competitors. Massive risks will have
:43:48. > :43:51.to be taken in order to secure the gold medal here. Just a question of
:43:52. > :43:57.who can execute the risks most successfully and who is willing to
:43:58. > :44:02.be the most attacking here. The last thing that you want in a gold medal
:44:03. > :44:18.contest is to lose something by a violation. Manyurova has been so
:44:19. > :44:22.close to winning big competitions. She's been a long campaigner in the
:44:23. > :44:37.sport of women's freestyle wrestling. She too will not want to
:44:38. > :44:41.give up the opportunity easily. Coming up to the 90 second mark in
:44:42. > :44:47.this first period of two. And there goes Manyurova. Now Wiebe has turned
:44:48. > :44:52.it around. And she's just in the field of play. She's got two points.
:44:53. > :44:57.This is a big moment in this gold medal match. Wiebe desperately
:44:58. > :45:04.trying to keep her opponent in the wrestling area. And that is some
:45:05. > :45:08.escape by Kazakhstan's Manyurova. Well, for a moment, that looked like
:45:09. > :45:12.it was going to be the end of the contest. So quickly. Beautifully
:45:13. > :45:20.done there by Wiebe. Fantastic wrestling. But equally, very, very
:45:21. > :45:26.resilient defensive work for the wrestler from Kazakhstan.
:45:27. > :45:31.One minute left in the first period. The Canadian up by 2-0 at the
:45:32. > :45:46.moment. Let's just remember, you can be
:45:47. > :45:54.warned and penalised for pacifity. They need it stay active otherwise.
:45:55. > :46:01.Could be conceding penalty points. That's something that Manyurova does
:46:02. > :46:08.not want to do now. Wiebe pretty much looking for the attack to the
:46:09. > :46:12.feet. And the legs. Almost getting caught there with the leg take down.
:46:13. > :46:17.But just laying down a marker there, Wiebe. She wasn't far away from
:46:18. > :46:25.getting it. She's very quick and strong defensively. Here she goes,
:46:26. > :46:35.Manyurova trying to attack the midsection again. Look at the
:46:36. > :46:40.strength of Wiebe. She's asking some serious questions here of Manyurova
:46:41. > :46:48.end of the first period here. It's 2-0 to Erica Wiebe of Canada. Into
:46:49. > :46:53.the second period now. Manyurova has really got to attack hard. Her
:46:54. > :46:58.attitude has been excellent so far as we start the second period but
:46:59. > :47:03.Wiebe has just been a little bit too strong for her. So far, stamina is
:47:04. > :47:08.going to come into play here as well.
:47:09. > :47:15.There's the two-point take down. That is the perfect start to the
:47:16. > :47:19.second period for the Canadian. Now she wants to capitalise on this
:47:20. > :47:26.position but she's not going to get the opportunity. We're in a
:47:27. > :47:33.stalemate situation. That's beautiful. Just so well timed. Wiebe
:47:34. > :47:38.has been visualising this moment for four years and she actually did go
:47:39. > :47:43.to London as a training partner for another Canadian. She managed to
:47:44. > :47:48.sneak out on to the mat when no-one else was there and sneak out there
:47:49. > :47:53.and visualise what is going to happen to her in the future at an
:47:54. > :47:58.Olympic Games and here we are four years later and she's just two
:47:59. > :48:09.minutes away from realising that dream. Manyurova, though, remember,
:48:10. > :48:20.has been so close to winning gold m major championships before. She's 38
:48:21. > :48:31.years of age. Wiebe still doing a very good defensive job here.
:48:32. > :48:52.Wiebe looking to it. Needs to score one more time to give herself a bit
:48:53. > :48:56.of breathing space. Just has to be careful, though, because her
:48:57. > :49:04.opponent is very experienced and could easily do what Wiebe did to
:49:05. > :49:11.her in that first period. Wiebe just continuing to work away. Shut down
:49:12. > :49:16.any attack. Any threat that her opponent may go for. Just went for
:49:17. > :49:22.the legs there and Manyurova there. But Wiebe backing away and down to
:49:23. > :49:27.the legs there. Just batting that one off there really skilfully.
:49:28. > :49:34.Manyurova, her stamina is coming under question. The attack must be
:49:35. > :49:39.running there and she's certainly looking fatigued as we enter the
:49:40. > :49:50.last 20 seconds. Wiebe has another 2-point take down. She's moments
:49:51. > :49:58.away now, Erica Wiebe. Just 14 seconds away from gold Canada. Erica
:49:59. > :50:04.Wiebe on the cusp here of winning Canada's gold medal here in the
:50:05. > :50:14.women's freestyle wrestling. It is gold to Canada. Erica Wiebe, the
:50:15. > :50:17.27-year-old world number two Commonwealth Games gold-medallist
:50:18. > :50:33.from two years ago in Glasgow has gone to the top of the world in
:50:34. > :50:39.2016. Too strong for her opponent, Guzel Manyurova of Kazakhstan. She
:50:40. > :50:48.can walk down the steps. She's tried her best. Just simply outclassed by
:50:49. > :50:56.a better wrestler on the day. Erica Wiebe wins Canada's second gold in
:50:57. > :51:01.women's freestyle wrestling. To go with Carol Hun who won one back in
:51:02. > :51:05.2008 in the 48 kg class. But it's all about Wiebe right now.
:51:06. > :51:08.Another very entertaining night in the wrestling. We've seen some
:51:09. > :51:12.wonderful celebrations in the wrestling. That is the scene at the
:51:13. > :51:17.beach volleyball arena. The Copacabana stadium. Slightly drizzly
:51:18. > :51:20.out there tonight which is rather unfortunate, but it is the men's
:51:21. > :51:27.gold medal match that we will be bringing you live between Italy
:51:28. > :51:32.against Brazil. It is live at 12:00. That is 4:00 your time, of course.
:51:33. > :51:35.Before we go any further, let's bring you right up to date with this
:51:36. > :51:39.swimming story which is developing over the last 24 hours. No doubt
:51:40. > :51:43.you'll have read about it in the newspapers and probably heard about
:51:44. > :51:47.it on television and radio involving four Olympic swimmers from the US
:51:48. > :51:50.team, most notably Ryan Lochte. In the past half an hour, the US
:51:51. > :51:54.Olympic Committee have issued a statement. It is quite long so I'll
:51:55. > :52:01.just pick out the various interesting bits of it. But
:52:02. > :52:06.basically, what the US OC CEO Scott Blackman has said in the last half
:52:07. > :52:09.an hour. "Two US swimmers have given statements to local authorities
:52:10. > :52:13.today on that incident that occurred first on Sunday. The passports have
:52:14. > :52:18.been released and they have just departed Rio. After providing a
:52:19. > :52:22.statement earlier in the weeks", you will remember James Fagan was caught
:52:23. > :52:27.up in this. "He provided a revised statement this evening with the hope
:52:28. > :52:31.of securing the release of his passport as soon as possible." So
:52:32. > :52:39.the statement goes on to say, "This is what happened, they describe the
:52:40. > :52:43.events as follows." Four athletes "left France house early in the
:52:44. > :52:46.morning on August 14 in a taxi heading to the Olympic village. They
:52:47. > :52:51.stopped at a gas station to use the rest room. One of the athletes
:52:52. > :52:56.committed an act of vandalism which obviously wasn't reported the first
:52:57. > :53:00.time." Basically, an argument ensued then between the athletes and two
:53:01. > :53:04.armed gas station security staff who displayed the weapons. This is all
:53:05. > :53:07.in the statement there. Ordered the athletes from the vehicle and
:53:08. > :53:10.demanded that they provide a monetary payment. Once the security
:53:11. > :53:13.officials received money from the athlete, they were allowed to leave.
:53:14. > :53:16.This is the key part and this is what will be reported on television
:53:17. > :53:20.and radio and newspapers. "The behaviour of athletes from the US
:53:21. > :53:24.team is not acceptable. It does not represent the values of Team USA or
:53:25. > :53:29.the conduct of the vast majority of the members. We will further review
:53:30. > :53:33.the matter and any potential consequences for the athletes when
:53:34. > :53:37.we return to the United States. On behalf of the US Olympic Committee,"
:53:38. > :53:42.says the statement, "We apologise to our wonderful hosts in Rio. Also to
:53:43. > :53:49.the people of Brazil for this distracting ordeal in the midst of
:53:50. > :53:53.what should rightly be a celebration of excellence." "With three days
:53:54. > :53:57.remaining in the Olympic Games, the primary focus is supporting the
:53:58. > :54:00.athletes who are still competing in the Olympic Games and celebrating
:54:01. > :54:03.the achievements of those who have finished." Let's have a look at some
:54:04. > :54:08.of the newspapers and how they're reporting this story. This is the
:54:09. > :54:13.New York Post and this is a really interesting headline. That is Ryan
:54:14. > :54:17.Lochte "the Ugly American". Look at the top left of that. That is a
:54:18. > :54:21.popular newspaper in the United States. "Liar, liar, speedo on
:54:22. > :54:23.fire". Let's also show you. And obviously some of the newspapers
:54:24. > :54:30.will not be running the statement that we've just had in. But
:54:31. > :54:37.obviously later editions will. "The Lochte mess monster". "Swimmers
:54:38. > :54:43.trashed gas station potty." "Rio cops seek indictment for Ryan pal,
:54:44. > :54:46.lies". There you are, you're completely up to date with the
:54:47. > :54:52.Lochte and US swimming team story. Now let's go to the sport and we'll
:54:53. > :54:56.show you what happened in the women's ten metre platform final.
:54:57. > :55:03.Britain represented by Tonia Couch and lots of Chinese interest here.
:55:04. > :55:08.Tonia Couch diving her best. This would be a good start if she can get
:55:09. > :55:13.this with a forward three and a half.
:55:14. > :55:15.You can see this dive, it's interesting that she's deciding to
:55:16. > :55:22.start with it. It isn't her best dive. She would have upgraded to
:55:23. > :55:32.eight and 8.5s but sadly goes away with 7.5s and 7s. Work to do. The
:55:33. > :55:37.Canadians are in town. There's lots of support for Benifeito. Well, she
:55:38. > :55:45.has saved the best for the final. This is a game of tactics. Meghan
:55:46. > :55:50.opting to open with one of her most complicated dives. Wow, 8.5s
:55:51. > :55:59.across-the-board. Hello 81 points. First of twot Chinese. For Ren Chen.
:56:00. > :56:06.Yes, so just 15 years old. And here she is opening up her campaign with
:56:07. > :56:07.an exceptional dive. Not quite as good as Meghan Benifeito but not too
:56:08. > :56:20.far shy. 78. Yes. Indeed. Oh, she has opened up there with a
:56:21. > :56:25.beautiful dive following on Jessica's forward 3.5 in the pipe
:56:26. > :56:32.The entry there isn't quite as good. There are the marks and there is
:56:33. > :56:38.nothing to chose between one and joint second at the moment. That's
:56:39. > :56:45.how it looks after the first round. So Canada in front. Now, Tonia
:56:46. > :56:50.Couch, arm stand back double somersault. One and a half twists.
:56:51. > :56:56.Oh, it's a beautiful dive from Tonia Couch. This is what we referred to
:56:57. > :57:03.as a splashless entry as she's in fantastic shape. 67.20. Tonia Couch
:57:04. > :57:10.did 65.6 earlier so both of her opening dives are better than they
:57:11. > :57:15.were this morning. Now to move on to Ren Qian of China in with the tuck
:57:16. > :57:20.for the first of the two Chinese we'll see. Super clean again. So
:57:21. > :57:30.classy all the way through. Lines coming her way. No tens. Woah, 85
:57:31. > :57:38.now and 84.8. So she's certainly got the highest score. Well exactly the
:57:39. > :57:43.same as Ren. Beautiful take-off. Beautiful aerial work. Just a
:57:44. > :57:51.fraction over rotating. 9s. Nine, nine, nine. No emergency yet for Si
:57:52. > :57:59.Yajie. She's comfortably at the top. Where are we and who is there? So it
:58:00. > :58:04.is China 1-2 but the top five separated by ten points after rounds
:58:05. > :58:12.two. Now let's turn our attention to Tonia Couch. Oh. What a shame. She's
:58:13. > :58:20.been having a bit of difficulty with this dive. Yeah, afraid with 64 and
:58:21. > :58:28.67 and now 52. She's going to be way off the pack now. Second placed at
:58:29. > :58:34.the moment. Here's Ren for China. Back three and a half. Once again,
:58:35. > :58:39.3.3. Wow, I think we've seen our first ten. Twinkle toes needs to
:58:40. > :58:46.point her toes but that is the dive of the meet so far. 90 points plus.
:58:47. > :58:50.Yes. Yes, we've had loads of 80s and I've been looking at those and
:58:51. > :58:55.getting very enthusiastic but we've gone through the 90 barrier into the
:58:56. > :59:04.94 region, 94.05. Si of China. Arm stand back
:59:05. > :59:07.somersault and one and a half twists.
:59:08. > :59:16.Wow, like for like. This is outstanding. What a competition this
:59:17. > :59:26.is. First class and the two Chinese teenagers are the cut above. This is
:59:27. > :59:32.9s coming Si's way and she will be right up there next to Qian. It's a
:59:33. > :59:38.change in place with Ren going first. On to Tonia Couch. Back two
:59:39. > :59:43.and a half somersaults and one and a half twists. That's really good from
:59:44. > :59:48.Tonia. It's a great, great dive. But she has left herself too much to do
:59:49. > :59:53.here to challenge. This will be good enough to get herself off the bottom
:59:54. > :59:58.spot in this final. Yeah, normally when she's diving at her very best,
:59:59. > :00:04.her pinnacle, loads of smiles and loads of waves. A bit more of a grim
:00:05. > :00:15.as there from Tonia. And here is our leader. Oh! Another one. Wow. Ren,
:00:16. > :00:21.only 15 years old. Absolutely no deviation from upright. Splashless.
:00:22. > :00:24.There's got to be a ten for me. We're seeing a diving masterclass
:00:25. > :00:30.out here from the 15-year-old Ren. Sorry to laugh when I say that.
:00:31. > :00:37.Well, Tom Daley was World Champion at 15, of course. OK only one diver
:00:38. > :00:43.can overtake Ren. But it needs to be 10s, though. Well, it's not going to
:00:44. > :00:46.be 10s. It's a top notch effort from Si who has been outclassed and at
:00:47. > :00:51.the moment, Ren has the upper hand. Gap opening up a little bit now,
:00:52. > :00:57.isn't it? Yeah, there is a considerable gap between the two
:00:58. > :01:06.Chinese with the mark of 79.20. The 12-point swing. Not gone quite as we
:01:07. > :01:10.would have wanted or the coach would have wanted for Tonia Couch but this
:01:11. > :01:15.is her favourite dive. Reverse two and a half for Tonia Couch to
:01:16. > :01:22.finish. Yes, it's a magnificent finish for
:01:23. > :01:25.Tonia. Low degree of difficulty at 2.8. She does this dive so well.
:01:26. > :01:29.Sadly not on the A game this evening. She would have been further
:01:30. > :01:33.up the pack but she is Olympic finalist and she's been in the top
:01:34. > :01:37.ten at every World Championships since 2009 and she's had a fantastic
:01:38. > :01:42.career to date. Well done Tonia. Give us a wave. So, is it the
:01:43. > :01:51.15-year-old who is going to go first? Ren Qain. She has the lead.
:01:52. > :01:55.Oh, it's phenomenal. My word. That is your Olympic gold-medallist
:01:56. > :02:01.without a shadow of a doubt. She's only 15 years old. 91 points and
:02:02. > :02:09.what a succession of scores. I need to read them to you. 78, 84, 94, 91,
:02:10. > :02:15.91. So, so classy. All the way through. Well, it should be
:02:16. > :02:22.relatively straight forward now for the silver. For Si. She cannot catch
:02:23. > :02:29.Ren. Sixes will do it. Sixes for silver for a Chinese 1-2.
:02:30. > :02:36.Yes. Chinese 1-2 as we suspected. You've won it, Ren. You're 15 and
:02:37. > :02:41.Olympic champion. Your team-mate here in action has dived so, so well
:02:42. > :02:46.and just been outdived by her younger team-mate. Absolutely
:02:47. > :02:50.amazing display by a 15-year-old and indeed by a 17-year-old as well.
:02:51. > :03:03.Both from China. And Tonia Couch, well it wasn't her day.
:03:04. > :03:08.Very entertaining day, once again, in the pool. Let's show you what's
:03:09. > :03:13.been happening in the track and field, because there's been another
:03:14. > :03:23.gold medal, the main headline is in the Decathalon. The reining champion
:03:24. > :03:29.and world record holder is in front. Cruising home, showing his class,
:03:30. > :03:38.once again. The ultimate athlete at the track and field. An amazing
:03:39. > :03:43.event. We have great memories of the declath long, watching Daley Thomas.
:03:44. > :03:47.He's emulated Thompson by winning back-to-back Olympic titles.
:03:48. > :03:50.Congratulations that man! OK. Time for us to focus on the beach
:03:51. > :03:55.volleyball. This is where it is happening. It is at the end of
:03:56. > :03:59.Copacabana Beach, at the end of the iconic beach right here. It is going
:04:00. > :04:11.to be a fantastic final. It has to be Italy against Brazil. Look at it!
:04:12. > :04:14.There is lots of radmatass. Whatever happens, they will be having one
:04:15. > :04:25.heck of a party! CHEERING
:04:26. > :04:40.What an atmosphere! Listen to this! CHEERING
:04:41. > :04:52.Wow! Yes! Oh! We will have some of this! They have set the bar high to
:04:53. > :04:59.start this men's gold medal match! Fantastic dig. What a get by Bruno!
:05:00. > :05:06.Right when you think the set is over and it is trouble and the math moth
:05:07. > :05:17.is going to -- mamott will take care of business, Nicolai cobras it to
:05:18. > :05:23.the back corner. Good reactions from Bruno. Cross-court. Kept it up! Wow!
:05:24. > :05:29.They are going for another challenge. They are going to argue
:05:30. > :05:34.that that ball that brun know cut -- Bruno cut short was down, that it
:05:35. > :05:43.hit the sand. Paolo... A challenge... .. ..Nicolai creates
:05:44. > :05:53.that play and then Lupo gets just under it. Hard to tell from that
:05:54. > :05:59.camera angle. It is. That cut shot was dirty!
:06:00. > :06:15.The challenge coming in here, but they won't allow the challenge to
:06:16. > :06:19.the last one. Correct. They are restricted on their challenges. If
:06:20. > :06:26.it is a judgment call, like a handset, for example, or a ball
:06:27. > :06:32.down, ball-up, those are judgment calls by the referees that they are
:06:33. > :06:37.not allowed to challenge. That one, the ball in-bull out, you can
:06:38. > :06:42.challenge ball touch and net fault. Those are all allowed. But, say, a
:06:43. > :06:48.double contact on a set, those are not. The rain is really falling here
:06:49. > :06:58.now on Copacabana. It is a shame, because it's been such a fantastic
:06:59. > :07:01.competition. It isn't seeming to dampen the crowd's enthusiasm,
:07:02. > :07:06.although if this set continues the way it is going, that will dampen
:07:07. > :07:16.the crowds' use that. Not what we were expecting to be viewing for a
:07:17. > :07:22.beach volleyball final in Brazil on Copacabana Beach. We will play beach
:07:23. > :07:27.volleyball at night, in the rain. It adds to the drama. Time out Brazil.
:07:28. > :07:32.What a start by these two! They couldn't - if you had said to them,
:07:33. > :07:38."Give us your dream start", it might have been 6-0 or 5-0, but 5-1, you
:07:39. > :07:44.take your hand off for... Serving and blocking going hand in hand.
:07:45. > :07:52.Nicolai is doing both of that. He's created two overpasses, and he's
:07:53. > :07:56.gotten a clean ace. I wouldn't take too much shelter under the flag. I
:07:57. > :08:01.won't keep you dry for long. He may as well just embrace it. There is no
:08:02. > :08:03.shelter. Yeah! Go ahead and surrender - that guy has got it -
:08:04. > :08:09.dance it off! CHEERING
:08:10. > :08:19.The time-out usually employed to try and take the heat out of your
:08:20. > :08:21.opponent's game. Well, the service fault from Paola Nicolai is the
:08:22. > :08:45.result of the first point. Daniele Lupo gets them both. The
:08:46. > :08:49.thing with an avms like this from the Italian perspective, is they
:08:50. > :08:53.will either get swamped or lift them to such levels that Brazil will have
:08:54. > :09:00.a real job on their hands. APPLAUSE
:09:01. > :09:04.Some people thrive on the road, some people thrive at home.
:09:05. > :09:10.It would be interesting to see how they interact with the crowd. In
:09:11. > :09:13.previous matches, he's been geeing them up, getting them involved. We
:09:14. > :09:20.haven't seen any of that. He might do... Oh! There we go! He is off!
:09:21. > :09:26.The albatross! Flapping his arms. (LAUGHTER)
:09:27. > :09:33.Right! Did Daniele Lupo get a facial? No, off the shoulder. Lupo
:09:34. > :09:35.get a facial? No, off the shoulder. He's getting them involved again!
:09:36. > :09:51.CHEERING Well, that is the result of the
:09:52. > :09:55.first block. They went higher and harder with the second set, or
:09:56. > :10:00.higher with the second set, hardware the second spike -- harder with the
:10:01. > :10:04.second spite. Great cover by Nicolai out of that block, but his arm just
:10:05. > :10:11.got a little bit long. He has to keep it tight and compact.
:10:12. > :10:22.He fancies these blocks. They are setting it nice and close to the
:10:23. > :10:27.net. It is going to him a chance. These balls are starting to get wet,
:10:28. > :10:30.so balls that you can get a real sticky good touch on are going to
:10:31. > :10:36.get a little bit slippery. . Good dig! Nicolai can't keep it
:10:37. > :11:15.alive! Having a discussion with the
:11:16. > :11:22.referee. So smart! Such calm play by the Italians. Let me get my second
:11:23. > :11:34.opportunity here and let the big guy place it.
:11:35. > :11:46.Oh! Lupo! That first dig was outrageous! Going way to his
:11:47. > :11:53.left-hand side. Somehow he gets the right hand to it! Lupo seems to are
:11:54. > :11:58.the right tension in his - in his muscles, I guess, is what I'm trying
:11:59. > :12:03.to say, just enough loose and fluidity to it, and off tension to
:12:04. > :12:14.where he's getting balls up and he's being aggressive. Alison! Gets his
:12:15. > :12:15.first block of the match and the crowd enjoyed that one!
:12:16. > :12:22.CHEERING Here they go! Making his presence
:12:23. > :12:28.known. It was just a matter of time until you get that first one under
:12:29. > :12:44.your belt. Revving them up. Monster block! And they all get involved.
:12:45. > :12:53.Yep! Reaching behind him! CHEERING
:12:54. > :13:00.He rolls it into the corner. Brazil have come from 1-5 down to 9-7 - 9-8
:13:01. > :13:07.up, sorry. Bruno's angles are incredible! Not only is he a
:13:08. > :13:13.wonderful defender, but his transition attack, he's got to be a
:13:14. > :13:33.1.5-2m off the net. Sometimes you come into the gold
:13:34. > :13:37.matches and we have discussed it before we came on air. We get all
:13:38. > :13:41.excited about it. Sometimes the match never really lives up to that
:13:42. > :13:45.expectation. We have had a fantastic start here! Just the fact that Italy
:13:46. > :13:50.went out to a 5-1 lead just sets it up. You are right. Every match takes
:13:51. > :13:53.on a life of its own. It is a riddle that needs to be solved, it is a
:13:54. > :13:59.matter of who was the wherewithal and the presence of mind to solve
:14:00. > :14:11.that riddle within the 21 points. You have to do that twice.
:14:12. > :14:20.As much as you can prepare your side of the net, you never know what's
:14:21. > :14:25.going to show up on the other side. Looking at those super slow-mos -
:14:26. > :14:28.yep! Again. You go too close to the net, that man invariably gets up and
:14:29. > :14:32.gets his hands on the ball. Here they go again! That's the monster
:14:33. > :14:48.block salute! CHEERING
:14:49. > :15:03.Good leave. Technical time-out. First one of the match. Technical
:15:04. > :15:09.time-outs, when the total points get to 21, and it's the closest it can
:15:10. > :15:16.be, a 1-point lead for Alison and Bruno. This young man, his uncle,
:15:17. > :15:25.the most decorated - or one of the most decorated - Brazilian athletes
:15:26. > :15:30.in Olympic history. Yeah. He competed at five Olympic Games in
:15:31. > :15:37.basketball, never got further than the quarterfinals, though. But his
:15:38. > :15:41.nephew is going to win a medal. Oscar Schmidt, the uncle,
:15:42. > :15:44.unofficially basketball's leading point scorer. Want to hazard a guess
:15:45. > :15:48.how many he scored for internationally? It is a hell of a
:15:49. > :16:00.lot. Yeah? 49,737! LAUGHTER
:16:01. > :16:06.Goodness! I would like to know Bruno's dig stats in that capacity.
:16:07. > :16:11.Yeah. He is some way short of 50,000, I would imagine! But bear in
:16:12. > :16:19.mind, one dig is worth one! True. Good point.
:16:20. > :16:34.LAUGHTER He wants more noise!
:16:35. > :16:42.CHEERING O'! Wow! What a rally! Brilliant
:16:43. > :16:48.rally! CHEERING
:16:49. > :16:52.Another play become out of the block by Lupo, tries to just touch it,
:16:53. > :17:01.play it back, give him another chance. But Bruno... On one! I tell
:17:02. > :17:05.you what - it is a good job there is no roof on the stadium - I don't
:17:06. > :17:08.mean it because I like seeing people getting wet - but otherwise everyone
:17:09. > :17:10.would have hearing problems tomorrow!
:17:11. > :17:16.LAUGHTER Sitting too close to the speakers!
:17:17. > :17:21.The noise in here is absolutely incredible!
:17:22. > :17:42.That rain is steady. Yeah. It isn't going anywhere, I don't think. It
:17:43. > :17:48.isn't due to, nay. Good choppy cross body. Lupo opened up his shoulders
:17:49. > :17:54.to the line. Kind of a bit of a decoy and then chopped across
:17:55. > :17:59.cross-body. Caught his hat to boot. BOOING
:18:00. > :18:05.If his hat falls into the net, is that a net violation? No.
:18:06. > :18:11.CHEERING Everyone is at it! Double block by
:18:12. > :18:16.Nicolai! It isn't enough. CHEERING
:18:17. > :18:29.You give that guy too many chances, he's going to find a way to find the
:18:30. > :18:35.sand. Great ball control, great net play. And then wonderful placement
:18:36. > :18:42.on about a 60% swing. All that effort by Nicolai comes to nothing.
:18:43. > :18:49.But it just adds to the drama of the occasion. This time, he gets his
:18:50. > :18:54.reward. It does. Certain things like how many times you jump - of course,
:18:55. > :18:59.this is a gold medal match. All those type of things leave the mind.
:19:00. > :19:07.You leave it all out there, no question. But the energy that you
:19:08. > :19:12.are exerting per play could have effect later on. That's Nicolai.
:19:13. > :19:16.Nicolai, for all his defensive efforts, had only got one successful
:19:17. > :19:21.block in the match. They are a triumph crowd to please, the stats
:19:22. > :19:27.people! Lovely! A cross-court spike. It has to be for point for it to
:19:28. > :19:32.count as a block. It is, especially the way Beth of these team -- Beth
:19:33. > :19:43.of these teams are covering. I think that's what's so impressive.
:19:44. > :19:49.Second ball goes over. The one thing that they don't have to contend with
:19:50. > :19:53.here tonight are the -- that the women had to contend with last night
:19:54. > :19:58.is the wind. The wind at least isn't strong and that makes for a fairer
:19:59. > :19:59.game, if you like, more consistent flight to the ball.
:20:00. > :20:05.CHEERING . Absolutely. The women were dealing
:20:06. > :20:10.with some howling winds, and the side that Alison and Bruno are on
:20:11. > :20:15.now has been pretty consistently "the bad side". That is all
:20:16. > :20:19.perspective, but it's... The harder side. The more difficult, yes, yes,
:20:20. > :20:27.yes. You want to embrace each side. Good side, good side is what we tell
:20:28. > :20:31.ourselves! He is there again! CHEERING
:20:32. > :20:34.As much as they had to embrace the wind and make it their friend, same
:20:35. > :20:38.thing tonight - they have got to embrace the rain and make it their
:20:39. > :20:43.friend, get real comfortable with it.
:20:44. > :21:09.The pendulum starts to sway again towards Italy. We saw Brazil under
:21:10. > :21:14.the pump early. They came from 1-5 town to lead. Then Italy having to
:21:15. > :21:23.make up a three-point deficit. Well, they have it back to one. Oh! A
:21:24. > :21:29.souvenir! They have it back to all square, although it will be one if
:21:30. > :21:38.Brazil's side out, but that is the - that is an error. Nicolai is on
:21:39. > :21:38.his... He is drinking in the air, isn't he?
:21:39. > :21:43.LAUGHTER Wow! That's been hit and it stays
:21:44. > :22:01.hit. Just scorched. More of that, please!
:22:02. > :22:27.LAUGHTER 18-18. After a ball like that, to
:22:28. > :22:31.harness that adrenaline and go back and serve a float serve - from that
:22:32. > :22:41.guy's size is like shooting a free throw after laying down a monster
:22:42. > :22:48.dunk. Missed that. Italy lead. By one. He is getting into the game. A
:22:49. > :22:55.big point, this. CHEERING
:22:56. > :23:00.. Wow! Big points from now to the end of the first set. We are going
:23:01. > :23:23.to get points from here on in. Still advantage with Italy. Oh!
:23:24. > :23:29.Heaven's above - she has that one wrong. Huh! He has got that one very
:23:30. > :23:32.wrong. Not too dissimilar to the one hit earlier. What goes around comes
:23:33. > :23:36.around. First set point, Brazil. They have to be going for each
:23:37. > :23:42.other's high hands. They are both playing at such a high level.
:23:43. > :23:53.Time-out called. Make them think about it, just a little bit longer.
:23:54. > :24:00.More than that. They just want them to think about it. Nothing said
:24:01. > :24:05.between the Italian pair. It's even. I mean, not just within the score,
:24:06. > :24:08.and we have been going point for point, but they know each other
:24:09. > :24:12.extremely well. They are running down balls, they are all in the
:24:13. > :24:20.right place. They are challenging each other in very similar ways.
:24:21. > :24:25.That's the ninth time these two have met each other. Al sob and brown --
:24:26. > :24:33.Alison and Bruno leave the series 5-3. But the last Lupo-Nicolai win
:24:34. > :24:38.was five matches ago. In fact, they have won three of the first four,
:24:39. > :24:41.Lupo and Nicolai. They have lost the last four.
:24:42. > :24:50.CHEERING Set point number 1 is all they need!
:24:51. > :24:51.Brazil! They are halfway to the gold medal!
:24:52. > :24:58.CHEERING They have taken the first set 21-19.
:24:59. > :25:10.There is a challenge coming. This must be for a net violation. This
:25:11. > :25:14.would put a dampener on the crowd's enthuse am -- enthusiasm. Some boos.
:25:15. > :25:22.Well, you would. Didn't see anything - no it's the ball into the net.
:25:23. > :25:29.CHEERING Good discipline by Alison! Can't
:25:30. > :25:36.blame them for trying. But they are halfway to the gold medal. Opening
:25:37. > :26:16.set go Brazil's way - 21-19. This is a belter of a match!
:26:17. > :26:27.Here are the first set stats. Well, it is a desperately, desperately
:26:28. > :26:37.close affair. What jumped out at me was that Bruno has six digs. He's
:26:38. > :26:42.definitely leading that category. CROWD SINGING) Brazil get this
:26:43. > :26:47.second set underway. A good dig from Bruno and good reaction on the
:26:48. > :26:56.second ball from Ali. But they can't win the point. Lupo remembered what
:26:57. > :27:01.scored for him earlier in set number 1 and goes back to it. Stays with
:27:02. > :27:05.it, stays aggressive, even though Bruno sent that first one back.
:27:06. > :27:31.CHEERING Now Nicolai getting in on the act.
:27:32. > :27:38.With his third successful block. These guys are so physical.
:27:39. > :27:46.But they have got the touch! Gosh! They may have... That makes me
:27:47. > :27:52.cringe every time a ball that close goes up, because these guys are
:27:53. > :27:58.going so fast. Lupo coming in, Nicolai... Doesn't have eyes in the
:27:59. > :28:02.back of his head. He has just to go on instinct there. What great
:28:03. > :28:16.placement by Alison! Geez! I think they were going for
:28:17. > :28:25.the net challenge anyway. You got to do knit the middle of the rally. But
:28:26. > :28:30.thank God that Nicolai was there. Because Ali was not slowing down. He
:28:31. > :29:07.was absolutely swinging away. Danielo Lupo not endearing himself.
:29:08. > :29:11.Lupo stopped the play, as the players are instructed, during the
:29:12. > :29:15.play. If there is something that is happening during the live ball, you
:29:16. > :29:21.got to request it. If you feel that it happened, you request the
:29:22. > :29:25.challenge. So, Lupo went to request the challenge, so he... He stopped
:29:26. > :29:32.playing. But the play continued. They didn't blow the whistle, which
:29:33. > :29:41.I is why Alison swung away, Nicolai finished the play, so he felt there
:29:42. > :29:44.was a net violation there. So, as the play's continuing, Lupo called
:29:45. > :29:47.for the challenge. CHEERING
:29:48. > :29:55.That's disappointing. That is... That is disappointing. They won the
:29:56. > :29:59.point. The referees... Like you say, though, if he challenges, he has to
:30:00. > :30:05.challenge at that moment. Correct. But they have to - they have to
:30:06. > :30:13.whistle. See, their whistle timing is completely disrupted now. They
:30:14. > :30:15.didn't whistle to stop the play. The ball was down out of the block.
:30:16. > :30:21.Sonofagun! CHEERING
:30:22. > :30:27.. Gosh! You do not want to see something like that influence the
:30:28. > :30:34.gold medal match. They call a time-out.
:30:35. > :30:41.They didn't see the touch. They didn't blow their whistle in time.
:30:42. > :30:45.It was only Lupo that stopped his play. The play continued. Alison,
:30:46. > :30:49.Bruno, Nicolai, everybody was still on the play. There was no whistle.
:30:50. > :30:54.The point was scored. Then they wanted to ask about the video
:30:55. > :30:58.challenge. Terrible timing in WHISTLES
:30:59. > :31:07.. And then they dis-- whistles. Then they disrupted the next play. Even
:31:08. > :31:11.though the timing was wrong, the right point - the point when the
:31:12. > :31:14.right way - because there wasn't a net violation. Correct. He stopped,
:31:15. > :31:20.so the ball would have come down. It Lupo stopped. Yeah. But Nicolai got
:31:21. > :31:28.the block. The point went to the Italians. But they awarded it to the
:31:29. > :31:32.Brazilians. No, but my point being is if they stopped play as they
:31:33. > :31:36.should have done, when he... Correct. That's come before the
:31:37. > :31:38.block has been made. If they stop it there, then Brazil win the point
:31:39. > :31:42.anyway. Correct. Yes. BOOING
:31:43. > :31:46.. Even if they whistled at the right time, it would still have been 2-2.
:31:47. > :31:49.CHEERING Because Italy wouldn't have won the
:31:50. > :31:53.point because they would have stopped the point before Alison had
:31:54. > :32:00.gone through with the spike. Yes. But that's the confusion between the
:32:01. > :32:06.officiating. He didn't know why Lupo was stopping the play. Yes. The
:32:07. > :32:12.challengers knew. CHEERING
:32:13. > :32:17.Anyway. Back to the action! That one does count. Well, that can fire them
:32:18. > :32:32.up. I have to say, Nicolai is getting
:32:33. > :32:42.his hands to a lot of ball. He really is. Doing a great job
:32:43. > :32:45.patrolling that net. Assault, Alison is having to go harder and find more
:32:46. > :32:58.angles. That one is wayward. Lupo and Nicolai have gone up a gear
:32:59. > :33:11.from their semifinal the other night. Can Semenov and
:33:12. > :33:18.Krasilnikov... Good placement by Lupo on that ball. My partiality
:33:19. > :33:21.will always air with that of the players!
:33:22. > :33:37.LAUGHTER They have responded very well.
:33:38. > :33:54.Again! Nicolai gets his hand to the ball. Alison plunging forward. Oh!
:33:55. > :33:59.Brilliant from Lupo! Chance now for Italy! Oh! Oh! What a point!
:34:00. > :34:04.CHEERING Rally of the match! It goes the way
:34:05. > :34:14.of Brazil! CHEERING
:34:15. > :34:22.How many digs in that rally? That was just fun to take in! All the way
:34:23. > :34:38.around. Such an incredible point. A sapping
:34:39. > :34:42.point. In heavy sand. We saw a lot of that little knuckle poke from
:34:43. > :34:46.Lupo in the semifinal. We haven't seen too much of it in this match
:34:47. > :34:55.just yet. There is a fine example. There is more of a cut shot. But
:34:56. > :34:55.taking all the pace off it. He plays with the different tensions in his
:34:56. > :35:15.hand. Wow! . Alison shaking his head.
:35:16. > :35:22.Everyone's gasping for air here. Such an intensity in this match. I'm
:35:23. > :35:31.curious if Alison is getting the set that he wants. Bruno, an incredible
:35:32. > :35:35.centre. No question. Can probably deliver whatever that is. Well...
:35:36. > :35:48.Unless he was just swinging blind. Their last three matches - they have
:35:49. > :35:55.lost two -- last two matches have gone to three sets for Alison and
:35:56. > :36:03.Bruno. As has Lupo and Nicolai's. CHEERING
:36:04. > :36:07.Right now, Nicolai seems to be the one delivering the blocking beating.
:36:08. > :36:17.But he and Alison are just within one. Nicolai has five. Alison has
:36:18. > :36:22.four. 8-5, Italy lead. BOOING
:36:23. > :36:34.Oh! LAUGHTER
:36:35. > :36:43.Stuck it! Oh! I pity the ball. I think he's frustrated after the
:36:44. > :36:48.previous one went so awry. Bruno Schmidt is always good energy. No
:36:49. > :36:54.matter if it's the pressure is on, he is a competitor in all the right
:36:55. > :37:07.ways. Just such mad respect for that dude.
:37:08. > :37:23.CHEERING He's incredible! I love that they
:37:24. > :37:27.call him The Mayiation because -- The Magician because right when you
:37:28. > :37:31.think he is going to do one thing he pulls a rabbit out of the hat and
:37:32. > :37:40.does something else. He is an ankle breaker. Such a long look at... At
:37:41. > :37:51.Lupo he tax before he makes -- takes before he makes his decision.
:37:52. > :37:58.A quick jump and swing from Lupo. That's what's been getting him the
:37:59. > :38:05.majority of his points. BOOING
:38:06. > :38:12.. Touched. That is the high hands that Nicolai and Alison have been
:38:13. > :38:16.going back and forth. They have been looking for those high hands. Alison
:38:17. > :38:33.finally gets them. Squeezing it through. That is gutsy!
:38:34. > :38:43.Some energy about the Italian pair right now, isn't there? A spring in
:38:44. > :38:44.the step. They are not fazed one bit.
:38:45. > :38:58.BOOING .. By this situation.
:38:59. > :39:08.Blow for blow. It is kind of both of the teams' MO, just exchange,
:39:09. > :39:11.exchange, and... Final point for the technical time-out.
:39:12. > :39:18.(CHEERING) Brazil go in on a high with an
:39:19. > :39:21.Alison block, block number 4, for the Mammoth! They quickly closed
:39:22. > :39:29.that gap. It is like they have an extra fifth
:39:30. > :39:34.gear. No celebration from Alison. Just a spin on his heels and off he
:39:35. > :39:38.goes to the bench. He's focused in on this match. He spent, what, a
:39:39. > :39:43.couple of points in the first set getting the crowd involved. Now,
:39:44. > :39:47.it's about him and his partner getting over the line and winning
:39:48. > :39:52.the second set. They don't want the lottery of a third set. You got that
:39:53. > :40:02.block. He picked up his briefcase and went to the office.
:40:03. > :40:06.That's the view from out at sea. This is the state of the gold medal
:40:07. > :40:32.match. It is very, very close. Wow! He is there again!
:40:33. > :40:37.CHEERING He's there again! We are all level
:40:38. > :41:12.at 11-11. Lupo gets them back in front. Just
:41:13. > :41:13.climbed the tree! Got him one. Real smooth little cutback.
:41:14. > :41:35.BOOING Great angle that shot of the spike
:41:36. > :42:01.cross-court. Lupo just slices and dices. Little
:42:02. > :42:05.miscommunication on the Brazilian side. Bruno was expecting an angle.
:42:06. > :42:32.Block from Alison. It is a slug fest! It really is. He
:42:33. > :42:34.just hammers that deep angle. Just beats it into the ground. Oh! What a
:42:35. > :42:47.get! Oh. Unlucky. Bruno just doesn't get balls up he
:42:48. > :42:53.puts such a spin on it, he has such incredible ball control that he...
:42:54. > :42:57.His timing almost spun that back into control for Alison to set.
:42:58. > :43:03.There is so much more than him just flying around digging balls in the
:43:04. > :43:08.air. He digs them to a spot. CHEERING
:43:09. > :43:13.Nothing Lupo can do about that in the back corner, as it comes off the
:43:14. > :43:19.block of Nicolai. There has to be an adjustment by the Italians soon,
:43:20. > :43:29.though, because that's... Unless he was trying to go line. Oh! Wasn't
:43:30. > :43:35.far away, was he? WHISTLE BLOWS) Perhaps a show and
:43:36. > :43:37.take from nickly -- Nicolai. But Alison scored the last three in the
:43:38. > :43:48.same spot. Finds the mark and they are in
:43:49. > :43:51.front! They are in front for the first time in the second set!
:43:52. > :44:07.CHEERING What a spike that is! What a time to
:44:08. > :44:13.come up with the point on your own serve! Again, he gets that
:44:14. > :44:17.jump-search going! CHEERING
:44:18. > :44:24.. That pushback that Lupo is looking for isn't quite there. I don't know
:44:25. > :44:27.if that set is too tight for him. But it looks like he's
:44:28. > :44:35.predetermining it and that's what's getting him in trouble, rather than
:44:36. > :44:39.let it be a bail-out. CHEERING
:44:40. > :44:49.Lupo is taking his time. He has to be careful. He might pick up a
:44:50. > :44:58.warning. Well, that is a good serving session from Bruno. Because
:44:59. > :45:04.they are in front now from 1 pn-ssh -- 13 sn 14 to 14-16. Alison seems
:45:05. > :45:31.to have the bit between his teeth. CHEERING
:45:32. > :45:41.Man alive! Listen to the crowd! CHEERING
:45:42. > :45:55.It is electric on Copacabana Beach! It is coming up to 1:40am, 145am.
:45:56. > :46:04.They are going absolutely potty! His conversion rate is out of this
:46:05. > :46:11.world! Look at those digs! 14-5! CHEERING
:46:12. > :46:18.It's silly! It is silly sometimes the plays that those guys come up
:46:19. > :46:24.with. Unbelievable! CHEERING
:46:25. > :46:29.Because Lupo drops that cut shot that's... Got him to the finals.
:46:30. > :46:35.CHEERING Well, some teams... Wow! .. Buckle
:46:36. > :46:41.under home expectation and home pressure. But when the chips have
:46:42. > :46:44.been done in this second set, Alison and Bruno have responded and
:46:45. > :46:48.responded magnificently well! CHEERING
:46:49. > :47:03.Still work to do. First to 21. CHEERING
:47:04. > :47:11.Alison and Bruno... They have called a time-out as Alison makes the
:47:12. > :47:18.block. Block number 7 for Alison. We are one point away from bedlam! I
:47:19. > :47:21.don't think words does any justice to those two. It went Italy's way.
:47:22. > :47:44.It's gone Italy's way, excuse me. Looking very relaxed.
:47:45. > :47:51.BOOING Despite the situation. Cameras out.
:47:52. > :47:56.CHEERING They you shouldn't get too far ahead
:47:57. > :47:58.of themselves because this Italian side can easily turn this 2-point
:47:59. > :48:03.gap around. CHEERING
:48:04. > :48:10.But that red flag does now signal the fact that we have three match
:48:11. > :48:17.points to Brazil, and now we are one point away from bedlam!
:48:18. > :48:26.CHEERING It is alive! It is... Two touches?
:48:27. > :48:30.And that is that! Wow! The gold medal goes to Brazil!
:48:31. > :48:37.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE -- they can't challenge it. All
:48:38. > :48:41.over. Into the crowd he goes! Heroes, legends, icons! That is what
:48:42. > :48:45.these guys just became! CHEERING
:48:46. > :48:51.Brazil win their first gold medal in beach volleyball in the men's
:48:52. > :48:55.competition since Ricciardo and e Manuel in 2004. This is what they
:48:56. > :49:01.want and what they came for! Danielo Lupo is arguing the toss, but it's
:49:02. > :49:05.not going to change the decision of the first referee!
:49:06. > :49:12.CHEERING Alison and Bruno have delivered gold
:49:13. > :49:19.for Brazil on Copacabana Beach in the men's beach volleyball! They
:49:20. > :49:24.have defeated a spirited Italian side in straight sets, 21-19, 21-17.
:49:25. > :49:27.CHEERING That is the last point. A double
:49:28. > :49:44.touch is the call. VOICEOVER: Olympic champion Rio
:49:45. > :49:49.lines to party and there will be a massive party tonight, even in the
:49:50. > :49:54.rain, because Brazil now have won their fifth gold medal of Rio 2016.
:49:55. > :49:58.That equals their record pest performance at an Olympics. Look at
:49:59. > :50:01.that! That is what it means, especially after the disappointment
:50:02. > :50:06.of the women crashing out last night in the gold medal match. Tears of a
:50:07. > :50:19.different kind tonight. Three goals Brazil won at London 2012. They have
:50:20. > :50:22.won five gold medals right now. The current world championship is Smith
:50:23. > :50:26.# -- Schmidt and Ceruti. That is what it means to win the gold medal
:50:27. > :50:31.in your home country on the Copacabana. Climbing! He is doing a

:50:37. > :50:40.page of the Brazilian papers tomorrow morning, without doubt.
:50:41. > :50:44.They are going to be on the front page of every Brazilian newspaper,
:50:45. > :50:51.every Brazilian television network will be including that story. Cherif
:50:52. > :50:57.They have won their medal. All happening behind us. So funny, isn't
:50:58. > :51:00.it? I bet when they dreamt of winning the gold medal in the beach
:51:01. > :51:05.volleyball think never thought they would be doing it in the rain. Many

:51:26. > :51:42.from Richie and Ron McIntosh. CHEERING
:51:43. > :51:47.The legs getting tangled there between the southpaw and orthodox
:51:48. > :51:52.boxer. Forced to take up an unemail position. Thankfully, no injury
:51:53. > :51:56.sustained. CHEERING
:51:57. > :52:00.I Cruz is an expect at long range boxing. Brings his opponent on to
:52:01. > :52:05.the punches. Back foot counterpunch. But he can mix it up as well.
:52:06. > :52:13.Occasionally, that is where he comes undone buzz he doesn't keep those
:52:14. > :52:21.hands up at all. Comfortable on the ropes even. Difficult to hand a shot
:52:22. > :52:29.on him. Terrific movement demonstrated by Cruz. In the closing
:52:30. > :52:33.20 seconds, his opponent was reduced to chasing shadows, such was the
:52:34. > :52:41.wonderful fleet-footed evasive manoeuvres demonstrated by this man.
:52:42. > :52:45.It will all come down to what the Junes prefer. But he is coming
:52:46. > :52:53.forward, missing the target there. Trying to get his punches off, but
:52:54. > :52:58.la Cruz found the space. While working on that back foot. In and
:52:59. > :53:04.out with that right hand. His opponent walks on to that shot
:53:05. > :53:09.there. La Cruz appeared to do the better work. Let look at the scores.
:53:10. > :53:28.The Cuban gets it. He is in control. VOICEOVER: Round 2. Into the second
:53:29. > :53:33.round of a contest of men who have been pretty much the best light
:53:34. > :53:37.heavy wait boxers in the world in Olympic boxes for the last five
:53:38. > :53:42.years. But neither of them have an make gold medal to show for it. The
:53:43. > :53:45.man if red that three world championship gold medals in what
:53:46. > :53:49.will perhaps be the upset of the 2012 boxing tournament, bar none. He
:53:50. > :53:58.was eliminated at the quarterfinal stage. # by -- stage by Brazil. The
:53:59. > :54:02.pace is suiting La Cruz down to the ground. If you remember, his
:54:03. > :54:05.opponent in the semifinal against Great Britain, he demonstrated the
:54:06. > :54:08.lovely skills on the back foot, because he is a back-foot
:54:09. > :54:12.counterpuncher himself. Here he has to change his tactics, has to go on
:54:13. > :54:18.the front foot. Can he do it? This is an Olympic final. You have to be
:54:19. > :54:24.able to do both styles, remember. He is being forced into a way of boxing
:54:25. > :54:31.that he isn't used to because he normally sets back. La Cruz hasn't
:54:32. > :54:41.come away with any Olympic model. His opponent came away a silver. He
:54:42. > :54:47.was declared a loser on count-back 15-15 after many rounds. The
:54:48. > :54:53.count-back went against him. Nothing in it. He still doesn't have an
:54:54. > :55:08.Olympic gold to show for it. Remember, he is yet to have his hand
:55:09. > :55:11.raised in this particular rivalry. Psychologically, especially for la
:55:12. > :55:15.Cruz, he isn't boxing at the right tempo. It is too slow. He has to do
:55:16. > :55:21.something different. It is as if he's hypnotised by the man. That is
:55:22. > :55:24.what la Cruz does. He seems to slow down the pace, no matter what
:55:25. > :55:34.opponent. He has the ability to slow it down and box to his tempo. Has is
:55:35. > :55:43.what he is a very talent and successful boxer. Good right hand
:55:44. > :55:48.from la Cruz. His opponent is on the front foot, stalking his man. La
:55:49. > :55:51.Cruz demonstrating the ability to navigate the boxing ring and avoid
:55:52. > :55:54.the punches coming his way. Almost as though he is blessed with ESP,
:55:55. > :55:59.the manner in which he can see the punches coming, lay back at the
:56:00. > :56:08.waist, adjust his feet, and make the man miss by a matter of millimetres
:56:09. > :56:16.sometimes. A good right hand to the body from la Cruz. Who can produce
:56:17. > :56:23.quality in the closing 10 seconds? La Cruz pulls the trigger first.
:56:24. > :56:27.What a Counteres left hand! Will Cruz at his best. While the punch is
:56:28. > :56:29.still coming back after falling short, he finds himself clipped on
:56:30. > :56:45.the chin with a cheeky little shot. His feet will be too slow. He is
:56:46. > :56:50.following his popt rather than cutting the ring space off. You are
:56:51. > :57:02.in against a maestro of a mover in la Cruz. Talented hands, low indeed.
:57:03. > :57:06.Gets caught with the shot. Better, just a bit short towards the end the
:57:07. > :57:18.skills of will Cruz were exceptional. Let's look at the
:57:19. > :57:24.scores. Nyazymbetov has to produce a knock-out shot. Difficult.
:57:25. > :57:31.Into the third and final round. The second ranked boxer in the world is
:57:32. > :57:37.trailing by two pints for judges A, B and C in this contest between two
:57:38. > :57:44.of the most scuffle operators in the world at 81 kilograms. With the
:57:45. > :57:49.previous three encounters, it's the man if red who dictated the terms
:57:50. > :58:18.and the tempo on which this bout is being contested.
:58:19. > :58:24.The cheer of winning first's Kazakhstan first medal of any colour
:58:25. > :58:31.when he took the gold 20 years ago. He came away as the trophy winner.
:58:32. > :58:36.Niyazymbetov has his name into the boobs by getting that silver four
:58:37. > :58:41.years ago, but he was so desperate for make goal. At this tempo it
:58:42. > :58:45.doesn't look at though it will happen as we approach the mid-point
:58:46. > :58:49.of the third and final round. He needs a knock-out now. Lovely skills
:58:50. > :58:53.again from la Cruz. There hasn't been a tempo change from
:58:54. > :58:55.Niyazymbetov. Still waiting far too long.
:58:56. > :59:01.CHEERING He isn't used to boxing on the front
:59:02. > :59:03.foot, the man if blue. He is normally a back-foot counterpuncher
:59:04. > :59:08.himself. Lose thank first round meant he had to change something
:59:09. > :59:13.around. He hasn't done it, kept the same tempo, which suited la Cruz.
:59:14. > :59:17.Let's face it, Ronald - the Cuban - this has been their bogey division,
:59:18. > :59:22.the light heavyweights. No-one's ever won an make gold in this
:59:23. > :59:27.division from Cuba. La Cruz is cruising to victory here! It will be
:59:28. > :59:30.a special victory for him he will be the first Cuban to win gold in this
:59:31. > :59:36.division if he can get through the last 50 seconds or so. Not just for
:59:37. > :59:41.him, but for the entire Caribbean island and more importantly or just
:59:42. > :59:46.as significantly it will complete Cuban success in every weight
:59:47. > :59:51.division. They have won Olympic gold in every other weight class, except
:59:52. > :59:55.light heavyweight. They haven't had a medal in this division since 1980.
:59:56. > :00:04.CHEERING But that drought is coming to an
:00:05. > :00:10.end. In these closing seconds, la Cruz is about to join the ranks of
:00:11. > :00:13.his compatriots by being crowned as an Olympic champion. Up on his toes
:00:14. > :00:23.as the 10-second clapper sounds. Enjoying his work. Treating us to
:00:24. > :00:29.the grace he used to such effect to dominate the world championships.
:00:30. > :00:34.Now on the Olympic stage, the man is producing some salsa on the canvas
:00:35. > :00:40.of boxing ring in acknowledgement of a majestic display that see him
:00:41. > :00:44.crowned as Olympic light heavyweight champion, Cuba's first ever light
:00:45. > :00:50.heavyweights champion in the Olympic programme. He was once again almost
:00:51. > :00:53.impossible to attack cleanly. Tremendous prrms from La Cruz. You
:00:54. > :00:58.have to admire. There were a few boos at the end. The man is so
:00:59. > :01:02.skilful. To box like this, you have to have exceptional reactions. That
:01:03. > :01:09.is what he's got. Reflexes and recollections have to be second to
:01:10. > :01:10.none. La Cruz, a wonderful boxer. He's had a tremendous performance
:01:11. > :01:34.there. Tremendous tournament. VOICEOVER: Ladies and gentlemen, the
:01:35. > :01:51.winner by unanimous decision and the Olympic champion... In the red
:01:52. > :01:58.corner... La Cruz! (CHEERING)
:01:59. > :02:05.La Cruz is the Olympic champion! The golden grin beaming from ear-to-ear!
:02:06. > :02:11.The three-time championship gold medallist completes his collection.
:02:12. > :02:15.Time for us to look at the medal table. The United States lead the
:02:16. > :02:18.way. They brought up their century tonight. Great Britain continue to
:02:19. > :02:26.lead the chase, three gold medals today. That takes them to 22. GB
:02:27. > :02:29.have 56 medals, nine shy of their London 2012 haul of 65. Beach
:02:30. > :02:34.volleyball Victoria I have for Brazil was their fifth gold for the
:02:35. > :02:44.hosts, equalling their best ever gold medal tally from Athens in
:02:45. > :02:47.2004. So, earlier we wondered what will happen if Usain Bolt and when
:02:48. > :02:52.he decides to hang up the spikes. Lots of you have been getting in
:02:53. > :02:56.touch via Twitter. Thank you very much. One says, "Make him an
:02:57. > :03:01.ambassador and use that star quality to inspire the next generation of
:03:02. > :03:06.sprinters find another star." Alan says, "Continue - holds the memory
:03:07. > :03:10.of a great and hope that one day an existing talented youngster will
:03:11. > :03:14.fill the personality void." And this is from John who says, "We said the
:03:15. > :03:18.same thing when Michael Johnson retired. We will soon move on.
:03:19. > :03:22.That's how it is." Thank you very much for your tweets and thank you
:03:23. > :03:27.for watching. I know it is very, very late. We are grateful. It's
:03:28. > :03:34.been another amazing day here at the Rio Olympics. Another gold medal for
:03:35. > :03:38.Jade Jones and at more the main bolt Usain Bolt. From all of us here, bye
:03:39. > :03:41.for now.
