:00:54. > :01:12.Time. The measure of mankind, a master. Ruling over us. Persistent.
:01:13. > :01:19.Unrelenting. The world record has gone! Waiting for no one. A new
:01:20. > :01:27.world record for Usain Bolt! We can't control it, we can't turn it
:01:28. > :01:36.back. Usain Bolt has false started. Did we fight it. Try to break it.
:01:37. > :01:44.It's the past. The world record beckons, and it has gone! The
:01:45. > :01:49.present. And Michael Johnson's record has gone! The future. Time.
:01:50. > :02:03.Time is everything. Michael Johnson there, who knows a
:02:04. > :02:08.thing or two about time and world records, setting the scene perfectly
:02:09. > :02:13.ahead of the men's 200 metres final, which we will see later tonight.
:02:14. > :02:20.It's another big evening at the athletics. It's another big night
:02:21. > :02:24.for this man. Usain Bolt, going for Olympic gold number eight as he bids
:02:25. > :02:29.for eight treble treble of three sprint golds at three successive
:02:30. > :02:36.Olympics. There is nothing certain as sport, as we all know, but shocks
:02:37. > :02:46.can happen. However, Bolt is without doubt the man to beat tonight. And
:02:47. > :02:53.that is one of the shots of the whole of the Olympics. Good evening.
:02:54. > :02:57.Bolt's 200 metres final is at 2.30, UK time. I know that is very late
:02:58. > :03:01.and I know it is still a very long time away, but hopefully, you can
:03:02. > :03:05.stay awake until then. At the very least, set an and you can join Gabby
:03:06. > :03:09.and the athletics team in the Olympic Stadium to keep you awake,
:03:10. > :03:17.we have an awful lot coming up this evening.
:03:18. > :03:26.It's a family affair as the Brownie brothers look for a Brazilian want
:03:27. > :03:31.to. -- the Brownlee brothers we will catch up with Clark and Mills as
:03:32. > :03:35.they sail for gold. And the double acts continue in the
:03:36. > :03:42.canoe sprint, with Liam Heath and Jon Schofield on a medal mission.
:03:43. > :03:48.And we will see Britain's men's doubles duo Marcus Ellis and Chris
:03:49. > :03:52.language in their battle for bronze. -- Chris language. Gold is the only
:03:53. > :03:59.thing on the mind of reigning taekwondo champion Jade Jones.
:04:00. > :04:09.And Nicola Adams has similarly lost the ambition. She was in semifinal
:04:10. > :04:13.action today. Funnily, at half past midnight, we
:04:14. > :04:17.had to the track. Adam Gemili lines up alongside Usain Bolt in the 200
:04:18. > :04:26.metres. Eilidh Doyle goes in the 400 metre hurdles final.
:04:27. > :04:34.So going into day 13, let's show you where Team GB stands. 50 medals
:04:35. > :04:44.after 12 days in Rio, a couple ahead of London and many ahead of Beijing.
:04:45. > :04:49.It continues to go very well. We start tonight with the men's
:04:50. > :04:52.triathlon, which took place all around this studio on the Copacabana
:04:53. > :04:59.Beach. The Brownlee brothers took gold and bronze back in 2012, so
:05:00. > :05:05.could they go one better here, or cod Jonny Brownlee beat his brother?
:05:06. > :05:10.Jason Mohammad was that find out. As far as sporting locations go, they
:05:11. > :05:14.don't get much better than this. Is Copacabana Beach are usually a place
:05:15. > :05:22.of fun, sand, sea and relaxation. Today, however, it's a little
:05:23. > :05:25.different. The site of Alistair Brownlee
:05:26. > :05:30.winning gold at London 2012 was one of the enduring images of the games,
:05:31. > :05:35.and he is favoured for gold here at the triathlon in Rio once again,
:05:36. > :05:39.especially given that his main rival, Javier Gomez, is out through
:05:40. > :05:42.injury. But there is one other rival, his brother Johnny. We could
:05:43. > :05:48.have a right brotherly battle for gold and silver. It has been an
:05:49. > :05:51.incredible Games and that will put pressure on the athletes, because
:05:52. > :05:54.they are going, we are the gold and bronze medallists from London, look
:05:55. > :06:06.what the guys have done here, can we replicate that? Here is the man that
:06:07. > :06:08.everyone will be watching aside from the brothers, Marion Moeller. The
:06:09. > :06:20.final countdown. Alistair not getting the best of
:06:21. > :06:28.starts, a bit slow getting into the water. Richard Wagner is leading
:06:29. > :06:34.them through. Oh, somebody has been ducked and held under. The swim is
:06:35. > :06:38.almost up. The two Brownlee brothers are in the top ten. Alistair
:06:39. > :06:42.Brownlee in sixth place. A big battle to get in front as they come
:06:43. > :06:48.out of the water and then onto their bikes. Really hot conditions
:06:49. > :06:56.tonight. Wagner comes out of the water, the first into transition.
:06:57. > :07:06.Varga of Slovakia is in the front, and now it is a 40 kilometre mix.
:07:07. > :07:11.Mola is 19 seconds off the mix. Great to see Jonathan Brownlee
:07:12. > :07:16.leading the triathlon. This is their bread and butter. The ride the hills
:07:17. > :07:20.of West Yorkshire, day in, day out. 18 seconds at the end of the first
:07:21. > :07:24.lap. They have more than doubled their advantage. That is an
:07:25. > :07:29.extraordinary second lap, huge margin in favour of the Brownlee
:07:30. > :07:35.brothers. Mola is having a torrid time on his bike this afternoon. So
:07:36. > :07:40.the Brownlee brothers are working together in the leading pack. Once
:07:41. > :07:44.they cross the start and finishing line, they will have one more
:07:45. > :07:51.circuit on two wheels before setting their sights on the 10,000 metre run
:07:52. > :07:55.to round things off. Everything so far is falling into place for
:07:56. > :08:04.Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee. We can see a crash. One more lap to go.
:08:05. > :08:12.There is nothing in it. The transition could be crucial. France
:08:13. > :08:24.has never had an Olympic medal in the triathlon. The Brownlees are
:08:25. > :08:34.working as a team to close the gap. The final stage, a four lab run.
:08:35. > :08:41.Jonny is first to move. And the brothers have a gap of a couple of
:08:42. > :08:46.metres over Luis now. Looks like a Brownlee will claim the Olympic
:08:47. > :08:51.title, which one will it be? 5,000 metres lefty run. Alistair has moved
:08:52. > :08:56.ahead of Jonathan. Looks like Alistair Brownlee is finally pulling
:08:57. > :09:01.away. The majority of fans here cannot take their eyes off that
:09:02. > :09:06.big-screen and this amazing triathlon and more importantly, the
:09:07. > :09:10.Brownlee brothers. He will be the first man to successfully defend the
:09:11. > :09:17.Olympic title. No triathlete has ever done that in the past. Into the
:09:18. > :09:22.final stages of this Olympic triathlon in Rio. He can start to
:09:23. > :09:27.enjoy it now. He has found the flag. He is the finest triathlete we have
:09:28. > :09:32.ever seen! It will be a glorious golden 44 Alistair Brownlee, the
:09:33. > :09:41.Olympic triathlon champion for the second time! It's a one-two, a gold
:09:42. > :09:46.and silver for the Brownlee brothers. Two brothers, triathlon,
:09:47. > :09:51.side-by-side, flat on their backs after putting in an unbelievable
:09:52. > :09:55.performance. Well done, fellas. Every day this year has been so
:09:56. > :10:02.hard. I have woken up in pain every day! That was so hard. The swim
:10:03. > :10:06.wasn't that quick. We knew before the race, the first two lapse on the
:10:07. > :10:10.bikes would be crucial. As soon as we were halfway through and we had a
:10:11. > :10:14.good gap, I was like, we are going to get two medals. I was confident
:10:15. > :10:18.we would get first and second. I didn't know which way we were going
:10:19. > :10:25.to go. Obviously, I just had the edge on Jonny. But he has killed me
:10:26. > :10:30.in training almost every day. I have been going through hell this year.
:10:31. > :10:36.It was a really hard race. We had to go hard on the swim. If we didn't
:10:37. > :10:41.get a big gap, we were really committed. It was hard, it is a hot
:10:42. > :10:48.day, so I knew we had to control it. When Alastair Bruce, I thought I
:10:49. > :10:53.might risk a medal. We always talk about the mental edge. Is that what
:10:54. > :10:57.you have over Jonny? I'm not a massive fan of the mental thing. You
:10:58. > :11:02.can only go as hard as you can go. The only thing in my favour is that
:11:03. > :11:06.I have a bit more of an endurance -based engine. But we have both
:11:07. > :11:11.worked so hard on the bike. That might not have come across. That
:11:12. > :11:16.race was won on the first two laps of the bike. To get gold and silver,
:11:17. > :11:21.I am incredibly proud. I don't get emotional, I am a tough Yorkshire
:11:22. > :11:25.men, but I was emotional at the end. You must be the proudest parents in
:11:26. > :11:29.Brazil. Massively proud, but relieved. To see them race like
:11:30. > :11:37.that, they deserve it. They train hard. You worry that they will push
:11:38. > :11:43.it too hard, but wow, what a pair. Totally proud of them. Also, to have
:11:44. > :11:49.one athlete, you must be proud. To have both your boys running in the
:11:50. > :11:52.same event, that is incredible. But they have always been competitive
:11:53. > :11:59.and they have always competed in the same things. So it isn't different.
:12:00. > :12:03.And has there always been that friendly rivalry? Definitely. They
:12:04. > :12:07.were more competitive in some ways when they were younger. They are now
:12:08. > :12:11.supportive of each other. They realise that if they work together,
:12:12. > :12:17.they have an advantage over competitors. But the run is a true
:12:18. > :12:22.race. The fastest runner wins. What a setting. Jonathan Brownlee is the
:12:23. > :12:30.Olympic silver medallist. He took bronze four years ago. A silver in
:12:31. > :12:38.Rio in 2016, after another magnificent performance. Outstanding
:12:39. > :12:47.once again, Alistair Brownlee, as he was four years ago. Great Britain's
:12:48. > :12:51.20th gold medal, Alistair Brownlee's second. History made. The first
:12:52. > :13:01.athlete to win the Olympic triathlon on two occasions.
:13:02. > :13:44.And Alistair and Jonny are in the studio with me now. Congratulations
:13:45. > :13:47.to you both. It was only when you sat down here that you were aware
:13:48. > :13:53.that you are the first brothers to get gold and silver in an Olympic
:13:54. > :13:56.Games since the brothers from Italy in 1960 in equestrian. Does the
:13:57. > :14:01.history of sport matter to you? I think it matters after you have done
:14:02. > :14:04.it. It is not the kind of thing that you set up home on a winter Friday
:14:05. > :14:09.night and start looking through the history books and thinking, if we
:14:10. > :14:13.could get a one-two, it would be the first since 1960! But now you have
:14:14. > :14:19.done it, you focus every day on the results. Once you have done it, it
:14:20. > :14:22.is a cool fact. I guess it shows how rarities. But like Jonny said
:14:23. > :14:23.earlier, if you look hard enough, you can find a bit of history in
:14:24. > :14:33.everything. If you leave it to sack people like
:14:34. > :14:37.me to look at the stats and you just perform. How brutal was it? Very
:14:38. > :14:41.brittle, Olympic triathlon is a very tough sport. It was hot and we have
:14:42. > :14:46.been looking at the forecast for the last few days and hoping it would be
:14:47. > :14:49.too hot so we were unlucky today because it was cold in the morning
:14:50. > :14:54.and it's called now but our race was hot but we had a plan to make it a
:14:55. > :14:59.hard race because in the last few months we have been the fastest
:15:00. > :15:04.runners in the field so our only way of getting a gold and silver, or
:15:05. > :15:09.guaranteeing it was to make the swim on the bike very hard so we turned
:15:10. > :15:15.into an honest to our race so it was very hard. Two successive Olympic
:15:16. > :15:19.golds is a remarkable achievement, especially considering the injury
:15:20. > :15:23.problems you have had. In any sporting career there are ups and
:15:24. > :15:28.downs. I've had my fair share of ups and downs in the last four years.
:15:29. > :15:30.Less than a year ago I was having a major operation on my ankle and
:15:31. > :15:35.coming back from that has been tough. It's an extra challenge but I
:15:36. > :15:38.saw -- I saw that as part of the challenge and get to the start line
:15:39. > :15:42.in the great condition and overcoming the ankle problem is all
:15:43. > :15:46.part of the challenge, not just training as hard as I can but all of
:15:47. > :15:51.that is the package and that is how I went about focusing this year. It
:15:52. > :15:56.is a big thing to change, training for me is training as hard as I can
:15:57. > :16:03.but now it is hacked -- allowing for the ankle in training as hard as I
:16:04. > :16:06.can. I will come onto training in a moment but obviously, when we watch
:16:07. > :16:11.you we are fascinated by the brother thing, as well as your talent. When
:16:12. > :16:16.you were on that second lap and it was just the two of you, away from
:16:17. > :16:22.the rest of the field, are you running as brothers, or are you
:16:23. > :16:25.running as competitors? We were running as brothers until we dropped
:16:26. > :16:30.the French guy and then we were kind of guaranteed the first two or at
:16:31. > :16:40.least had a good chance of gold and silver and then switched into a bit
:16:41. > :16:46.of a rivalry and I had to try and beat Alistair. That switched from me
:16:47. > :16:50.until the point at the race where I got dropped and then I thought, oh,
:16:51. > :16:54.no. At that point of the race we started to race each other but up to
:16:55. > :16:57.that point we were next to each other on the beach start talking to
:16:58. > :17:03.each other until ten seconds to go and on the swim I knew Ali was
:17:04. > :17:06.behind me and I knew how quick I was and I wouldn't fight him but on the
:17:07. > :17:11.bike we were working together all the time and when we distanced
:17:12. > :17:17.ourselves from the rest of the field we were racing each other for a
:17:18. > :17:21.little bit. Did you think about Johnny when you went into the lead?
:17:22. > :17:25.I was thinking that I hoped he didn't catch me up but I was
:17:26. > :17:28.confident and I made the gap quickly and I was into my running and I felt
:17:29. > :17:31.a bit better moving faster and moving over the ground so I knew
:17:32. > :17:36.there was very little chance of third-place catching him and he was
:17:37. > :17:40.going well enough but it still went through my head. I was still hoping
:17:41. > :17:43.he wouldn't overheat and that kind of thing. Did you have a plan in
:17:44. > :17:47.your mind before you started the race? Given the fact that you train
:17:48. > :17:52.together, how much of your race plan to keep secret from each other? Not
:17:53. > :17:55.much, we know each other so well so obviously we have talked about the
:17:56. > :17:58.swim and the bike and we're working together and that is quite discussed
:17:59. > :18:03.and set down. Once we're on the we could start keeping it a secret and
:18:04. > :18:09.stuff but we know each other so well, Johnny knows it if I get in
:18:10. > :18:13.the last 200 metres with him he has a very good chance that sprinting me
:18:14. > :18:19.and he knows I know that and I know he knows that, so we know it. Johnny
:18:20. > :18:23.knows I will try get away before the last kilometre at some point so
:18:24. > :18:28.there is no real point keeping secrets from each other because we
:18:29. > :18:33.kind of both know what our aims are and we both want to win and we know
:18:34. > :18:37.how each other can win so you just have to go out and do it. What did
:18:38. > :18:42.you say to each other at the end when you were lying on your backs so
:18:43. > :18:48.that blue mat? Did I speak first did you speak first? One of us spoke
:18:49. > :18:51.first and we said, we have done it, that's the big thing and relief of
:18:52. > :18:54.pulling it off and what a massive special moment and you are just
:18:55. > :18:58.tired, you want to sit down and you've been racing as hard as you
:18:59. > :19:07.can for one hour 45 in ridiculous heat so I was ready for a sit down,
:19:08. > :19:11.really. Or lie down! It's just a lovely shot, of an Olympics where
:19:12. > :19:16.we've seen a lot of lovely shots. Because it is gold and silver, does
:19:17. > :19:21.it top London? I think the performance tops London and the
:19:22. > :19:24.results, obviously gold and silver, but the whole event of a home
:19:25. > :19:28.Olympics and half a million people cheering you on, but my view of
:19:29. > :19:31.London is that it has happened now and as an athlete you have to move
:19:32. > :19:37.on because I said after London I would never have a better triathlon
:19:38. > :19:40.than that ever again with half a million people cheering you on a
:19:41. > :19:44.British flags and Yorkshire fan so it was different but I think this
:19:45. > :19:50.was more special in that we got gold and silver in you can genuinely say
:19:51. > :19:55.you can't do any better. What you do now? When due next train? You talk
:19:56. > :19:59.about how much you like training and you say you like pain and he has
:20:00. > :20:07.batted you in training, do you have any time off? As much as I say I
:20:08. > :20:11.love training... Is that like? Well, the grass is always greener, isn't
:20:12. > :20:16.it? The Olympics is cool, isn't it? We have had to focus so much of the
:20:17. > :20:19.race up until now so I think we will definitely enjoy the next few days.
:20:20. > :20:23.We are massive spore fans and we will go and watch as much as we can
:20:24. > :20:27.we are due to race again in the next few weeks. He might race next
:20:28. > :20:34.weekend and there is another World Series in two weeks on Saturday. We
:20:35. > :20:41.still have a bit of time to John -- enjoy the Olympics first. Take the
:20:42. > :20:47.next few days. You going to the closing yes, definitely. We will go
:20:48. > :20:53.to the Marina da Gloria now because there was a gold medal there for the
:20:54. > :20:57.women sailors in the 470, so this is Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark. They
:20:58. > :21:02.had already got the gold medal as long as they were disqualified from
:21:03. > :21:04.this race. The race was postponed from yesterday so hopefully we will
:21:05. > :21:15.see the celebrations were Shirley Roberts.
:21:16. > :21:21.Today was the last day of action out on the waters and what a it was.
:21:22. > :21:27.Four medal races and a beautiful 40 knot breeze. Britain were confirmed
:21:28. > :21:31.gold in one class and with the Chancellor medal in another it was a
:21:32. > :21:36.mouthwatering prospect. Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark knew they had won
:21:37. > :21:39.gold as they prepared to sale this morning. They knew it three days ago
:21:40. > :21:44.when they clinched the medal with one day to spare so today was a long
:21:45. > :21:48.time coming. Yesterday I was so tired after the whole week and this
:21:49. > :21:52.is day nine of our competition and I just ran out of energy yesterday and
:21:53. > :21:54.I found it all too much so it is actually nice to come back today
:21:55. > :21:58.after a good nights sleep and I really feel I can enjoy the day and
:21:59. > :22:07.enjoy the race and enjoy the moment so I am excited. We have all these
:22:08. > :22:10.messages from home which is amazing but until we get the medals and we
:22:11. > :22:13.have the flag and the anthem, it's not over for us. The women's 472
:22:14. > :22:16.person dinghy, the final race gets underway. Hannah Mills and Saskia
:22:17. > :22:22.Clark from Great Britain start safely behind the rest.
:22:23. > :22:26.When racing up and away it was a simple formality and the British duo
:22:27. > :22:31.decided to keep away from the action and let the fight for minor medals
:22:32. > :22:36.go one without them. Remember, all they have to do is cross the finish
:22:37. > :22:41.line without a disqualification. Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark,
:22:42. > :22:46.silver medal winners in London 2012, and now, as they crossed the finish
:22:47. > :22:52.line, bringing their rear campaign to a close, it is gold-medal for
:22:53. > :22:56.Great Britain. The dream had taken an age to become a reality, but with
:22:57. > :23:03.the gold-medal finally confirmed, Saskia Mills and -- Hannah Mills and
:23:04. > :23:06.Saskia Clark just had to celebrate. They celebrated by sailing of the
:23:07. > :23:11.racecourse and onto the beach where mothers, cousins and boyfriends
:23:12. > :23:14.while waiting, it was quite an Olympic moment. Huge
:23:15. > :23:22.congratulations, gold medallists from Rio 2016, and the biggest of
:23:23. > :23:26.smiles. It is absolutely awesome. We had a massive lead but we still had
:23:27. > :23:30.to race today and we were still nervous that something could happen
:23:31. > :23:35.but we did it. It wasn't that pretty race but we did it and it was
:23:36. > :23:38.awesome. Two days ago you were so nearly there and so reluctant to
:23:39. > :23:44.celebrate until this moment, to show this together after so long trying,
:23:45. > :23:48.what's it like? I can't even speak, amazing, absolutely amazing. We have
:23:49. > :23:51.such an amazing journey with six years of sailing together and I have
:23:52. > :24:04.loved every second. She is the best person ever! I love her. Sadly no
:24:05. > :24:08.fairy tale end for Luke Patience and Chris Grube, they sell their final
:24:09. > :24:11.race knowing that had no chance of a medal, and ended their story with a
:24:12. > :24:19.third in the medal race, finishing back in fifth overall. If the
:24:20. > :24:23.British story was over for the 470 before today's started, in the men's
:24:24. > :24:28.skiff there was a medal to fight for. Bronze was in reach. Runs
:24:29. > :24:32.wasn't out of it. If they could get four boats between themselves and
:24:33. > :24:37.the Australians, they would climb into the medal zone. The medal race
:24:38. > :24:43.for the men's two-handed high-performance boat gets underway
:24:44. > :24:49.in Rio. Just two next to go they sailed from no hope to good chance,
:24:50. > :24:53.as they approach the bottom gate, for boats abreast and Australia in
:24:54. > :24:58.their side. An important moment for Great Britain and Spain and Poland
:24:59. > :25:02.and they all coming into the gate at the same time. I just think they
:25:03. > :25:07.have... Great Britain capsize at the bottom of the course. Disaster for
:25:08. > :25:11.Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign. They won the inside of the turn against
:25:12. > :25:16.the Polish and they were looking strong in this but just a slight
:25:17. > :25:23.slip in the balance and they are capsized, and the rest of the field
:25:24. > :25:28.sales passed. British chances sailed away up the racecourse and they
:25:29. > :25:34.ended their Olympics in sixth place. One race left ago but no British
:25:35. > :25:38.medal prospect in the 49er fracture but there is an all performance --
:25:39. > :25:42.an all-important competition to be top sailing nation. If New Zealand
:25:43. > :25:50.could win this one they could conquer the world but if they failed
:25:51. > :25:58.Britain would top the medal table all they -- Table Bay have topped
:25:59. > :26:05.all -- every time except once. Four boats went into the medal race with
:26:06. > :26:08.a chance of gold. Great Britain was not in this game and Charlotte
:26:09. > :26:12.Dobson and Sophie Ainsworth made life hard for themselves, capsizing
:26:13. > :26:17.twice, but by this time the real attention was on the fight at the
:26:18. > :26:22.front and what a fight it was. Down to the final moments of this leg.
:26:23. > :26:26.Brazil are looking better and better by the second. Brazil are still in
:26:27. > :26:34.the lead, the gold-medal about to go to the world number one pair, Brazil
:26:35. > :26:40.there the 49er fracture away, they are barely crossing the finish line,
:26:41. > :26:45.it will be a jibe right on the finish line, and it is gold for
:26:46. > :26:48.Brazil, coming down to the final bow legs. It was a great day of Saint
:26:49. > :26:52.Matt Crampton regatta that was every bit as challenging as the sale is
:26:53. > :26:56.expected. Two gold silver mean that once again Great Britain is the top
:26:57. > :27:03.sailing nation and a joy and relief on our three medallists were evident
:27:04. > :27:06.in every celebration. Gold for Giles Scott, gold for Hannah Mills and
:27:07. > :27:11.Saskia Clark, silver for Nick Dempsey, that was the sailing story
:27:12. > :27:16.from Rio 2016. Hannah and Saskia are in the studio
:27:17. > :27:21.with me and you are about as happy as saying your mum on telly as you
:27:22. > :27:26.are about the gold medal around your neck! Yes, it's overseeing mum on
:27:27. > :27:30.telly! That was a very special ending, wasn't it, to the race and
:27:31. > :27:34.the competition? You took your boat to the sand and got friends and
:27:35. > :27:39.relatives to come into the sea, which isn't normally done. It's not
:27:40. > :27:45.normally done. Is it frowned upon in sailing? It might have been a little
:27:46. > :27:51.bit out of the roles but it is once in your life you would gold-medal,
:27:52. > :27:56.or at least in my life and it is so special to share it with people. Has
:27:57. > :28:00.it been an emotional time out here in Rio because you are due to retire
:28:01. > :28:07.after these games? We have been so focused on ourselves and our
:28:08. > :28:10.competition and doing it right, in London we didn't quite finish and we
:28:11. > :28:13.did want to leave Rio with any regrets, we wanted to be proud of
:28:14. > :28:17.what we have achieved and we can do that now and the emotional and
:28:18. > :28:21.everything. Does it put pressure on you going into it because you know
:28:22. > :28:25.it is the last time you are going to race together? I definitely thought
:28:26. > :28:29.about it a lot. We are the best of friends and we have had such an
:28:30. > :28:34.amazing six years sailing together knowing that this is it for Saskia,
:28:35. > :28:38.I thought about it a lot and I knew that if we could just get our heads
:28:39. > :28:41.together and focus on the job we need to do and not focus on that for
:28:42. > :28:47.the ten days that we have been competing then we would be in a good
:28:48. > :28:50.place. For people who don't watch a lot of sailing or realise how it
:28:51. > :28:55.works, of which I include myself, why do you think you have worked so
:28:56. > :29:02.well as the duo? Technically, in the boat, or how you get on as to
:29:03. > :29:11.individuals? We don't get seasick, and like yourself -- unlike
:29:12. > :29:16.yourself! OK, back to you too, I did once have to get up a pedalo because
:29:17. > :29:20.I was seasick! In London it was pure want. We had to get there in the
:29:21. > :29:22.trials and had to get to the home games and stuff but this campaign
:29:23. > :29:26.has been a lot more considered and we had a lot more time to think
:29:27. > :29:30.about it as a pair and we had an amazing coach and a mental who is a
:29:31. > :29:36.double silver medallist himself so this is his first gold medal as
:29:37. > :29:40.well. -- amend tour. We had a support team that was organising
:29:41. > :29:47.races for us that were pretty tricky and it has been normal and no
:29:48. > :29:52.surprises. You came out here to pair and train a couple of years ago and
:29:53. > :29:57.you were mugged when you out here then, how important was that
:29:58. > :29:59.preparation when you out here two years ago? What did you learn and
:30:00. > :30:11.put into operation? Loads. This was our tenth trip. For
:30:12. > :30:13.us, there are five race areas, all very different. You have to learn
:30:14. > :30:23.each one inside out. We were proud with the preparation
:30:24. > :30:28.we put in place. What happens now? I hate asking this question after you
:30:29. > :30:34.have won a gold medal, but I still seem to ask this question a lot! Do
:30:35. > :30:42.you know what you are going to do? Cry! I haven't thought. I have no
:30:43. > :30:51.idea if I want to try for Tokyo, I just want to enjoy the moment with
:30:52. > :30:56.Sass and celebrate together. And you are going to go off and work for the
:30:57. > :31:00.Andrea Simpson sailing -- Andrew Simpson sailing foundation. Andrew
:31:01. > :31:05.Simpson was a gold medallist who sadly died in an accident. Sun yes,
:31:06. > :31:16.I will work for the charity set up in his name, which is about giving
:31:17. > :31:20.kids the opportunity to sail. It is great for confidence. I really
:31:21. > :31:25.believe in the values of the charity and getting selling out there to as
:31:26. > :31:28.broad an audience as possible. We wish you both well. Congratulations
:31:29. > :31:33.for being part of a British team that topped the sailing medal table
:31:34. > :31:39.with two gold and silver. Enjoy the evening. We are going to go from the
:31:40. > :31:42.water at the Marina da Gloria to the Lagoa lake. Huge success for Britain
:31:43. > :31:52.in the rowing on that lake, but it was now the turn of the canoeists.
:31:53. > :31:54.We are going to watch the K2 200 metre final. Liam Heath and Jon
:31:55. > :32:00.Schofield were going for Great Britain. The key is making the most
:32:01. > :32:07.of both the athletes in the boat. You need to get 100% out of both
:32:08. > :32:12.guys to have any chance. Both guys need to be in the condition of their
:32:13. > :32:26.lives. And they need to execute in perfect synchronicity. The race
:32:27. > :32:34.itself was just a blur. Crossing the line, desperately trying to figure
:32:35. > :32:38.out where we had come. I didn't have a clue, and then when we got told we
:32:39. > :32:48.had got the bronze, in a fit of joy, I snapped the paddles across my
:32:49. > :32:54.legs! Stepping up on that podium was incredible. It was almost dreamlike.
:32:55. > :33:00.You remember it because you are on cloud nine. Liam Heath and Jon
:33:01. > :33:07.Schofield, bronze medallists, and the smiles say it. We did pretty
:33:08. > :33:11.well, but this time, we were more ruthless about how we prepared.
:33:12. > :33:21.Hopefully, that will give us more of an edge. We are a lot more mature as
:33:22. > :33:28.athletes and competitors. And we attack each race in the same style,
:33:29. > :33:34.but with more knowledge behind it. We have been together as a crew
:33:35. > :33:39.since 2010. I don't think there are any other crews that raised then
:33:40. > :33:46.that are still together now, and none that have sustained the same
:33:47. > :33:51.performance throughout. We have won a medal in every World Cup we have
:33:52. > :33:56.been to over the last Olympic cycle, which is one of the most consistent
:33:57. > :33:59.crews out there. That consistency comes with still wanting to be in
:34:00. > :34:06.the boat together and wanted to improve. The sport has moved on
:34:07. > :34:10.since London 2012. So although we are faster now than we were them, it
:34:11. > :34:18.is even harder to win medals at the moment. You always want to do
:34:19. > :34:25.better. You can't do any better than an Olympic gold, can you? That is
:34:26. > :34:28.what we are looking towards. Having unfinished business from London, we
:34:29. > :34:36.know what we are going to do. We are racing to win.
:34:37. > :34:42.Great Britain with a real chance of taking models. Liam Heath and Jon
:34:43. > :34:47.Schofield, who got the bronze four years ago. Can they do the same
:34:48. > :34:57.again? Away they go. Olympic glory is just 30 seconds away. Lithuania
:34:58. > :35:00.start very strongly. Heat and Schofield left a bit behind. The
:35:01. > :35:05.pink boat belongs to Germany, but they are trailing at the moment.
:35:06. > :35:09.Spain and Lithuania in the middle. Spain starting to come strong in the
:35:10. > :35:14.closing stages. Still no sign for the British. Now they accelerate,
:35:15. > :35:20.Heath and Scofield move up, level in second position. The Spaniards are
:35:21. > :35:23.still reading. The gold goes to Spain. Very tight between Great
:35:24. > :35:31.Britain and Lithuania in the silver medal position. But photo finishes
:35:32. > :35:35.right away throughout. I said the Spaniards had an impressive win in
:35:36. > :35:42.the World Cup, nowhere near as impressive as their Olympic final
:35:43. > :35:47.one. Great Britain have got the silver one better than London. They
:35:48. > :35:52.will be delighted. It was a fantastic performance. It was a slow
:35:53. > :35:57.start from Heath and Scofield, well below the performance we saw at the
:35:58. > :36:01.start of the semifinal yesterday. But they believed, where others
:36:02. > :36:06.might not have done. First medal of the canoe sprint regatta in Rio.
:36:07. > :36:10.They have got the silver medal. Coming into the games, we heard you
:36:11. > :36:14.talking about the fact that you had unfinished business from London. You
:36:15. > :36:22.got the bronze. How satisfying is it now to have grabbed the silver?
:36:23. > :36:26.Unbelievable. Set up destroying. This guy is on fire. He has been
:36:27. > :36:33.killing me in training, day in, day out. I didn't want to let him down.
:36:34. > :36:38.He is the best guy out there. Sun I am basically sat in the front of the
:36:39. > :36:43.boat, and he tells me what to do. So I don't have to think, I just have
:36:44. > :36:47.to go as hard as I can. It is a wonderful combination. How long can
:36:48. > :36:54.this go on for, could you do one more? I am not sure yet. I will have
:36:55. > :36:59.to take some time-out. My wife might have a say in it as well. You also
:37:00. > :37:01.have some unfinished business, Liam. Well done today. We look forward to
:37:02. > :37:13.seeing you later in the week. Liam goes in the K1 tomorrow, but
:37:14. > :37:16.John is here. Let's revisit the point that wishy ask you about the
:37:17. > :37:24.unfinished business that you felt you had from London. Does this close
:37:25. > :37:27.that? We will see! No, it is certainly a step towards it. There
:37:28. > :37:33.was nothing more we could have done today. I am happy to have improved
:37:34. > :37:39.on what felt out of this world in London. You tweeted that you respect
:37:40. > :37:47.every competitor in this final just because of how fast they are. And it
:37:48. > :37:54.showed in the race. That finish line picture, jeepers! There were world
:37:55. > :37:59.record holders, a couple of world champions there. There was quality
:38:00. > :38:07.all over that field. I don't think anyone underperformed today. As we
:38:08. > :38:11.were watching it together in that heat, you said that actually, over
:38:12. > :38:19.recent races, the finish had been the weakest part of your race.
:38:20. > :38:23.Totally. Even earlier this year, if we had been in that position with 50
:38:24. > :38:28.metres to go, no one would have backed us. So I am proud that we
:38:29. > :38:37.recognised that an opt for training to emphasise that part of the race,
:38:38. > :38:42.and it paid off. How do you do that? Do you literally put yourself
:38:43. > :38:48.halfway down the line and practised the finish? The big thing was one of
:38:49. > :38:52.the key efforts we put in to emphasise 300 metre time trials
:38:53. > :38:59.instead of 200. So part of that was a mental thing, so we were confident
:39:00. > :39:05.we could keep going. Then there is a physiological thing, the anaerobic
:39:06. > :39:09.dose you get doing 300 metres in 48 seconds. It would destroy as for the
:39:10. > :39:16.next half-hour. It was painful training for guys like us, but it
:39:17. > :39:21.worked. The actual technique, are you relying purely on brute
:39:22. > :39:25.strength? No, there's heaps of technique. It was a brute strength
:39:26. > :39:31.contest, me and Liam would have been at the back. So it is about being in
:39:32. > :39:38.sync with Liam? It is about being in sync, your efficiency and your power
:39:39. > :39:46.to weight ratio. If you are heavy, your muscles have to be strong
:39:47. > :39:50.enough. How did you personally stuck in the sport? Through the Cub
:39:51. > :39:56.Scouts. Not competitive at all, just loved canoeing. It is like when you
:39:57. > :40:00.are a kid, you try a whole load of things and something sticks. For me,
:40:01. > :40:05.it was canoeing through the Cub Scouts. Then people saw that I was
:40:06. > :40:11.serious and started helping me out and I gradually progressed. What are
:40:12. > :40:16.Liam's chances? You said you didn't want to let him down today because
:40:17. > :40:20.he is the best guy out there. What are his chances tomorrow? His
:40:21. > :40:29.chances are very good. I don't want to jinx him, but he is absolutely
:40:30. > :40:36.flying. The guy in front of the Spanish boat, he is now a double
:40:37. > :40:41.Olympic champion, triple medallist. He is pretty good. Liam is neutered
:40:42. > :40:46.to the K1 scene and has been dominant, though. And you will cheer
:40:47. > :40:59.him on. Congratulations. Enjoy tonight, and fingers crossed.
:41:00. > :41:03.Still to come this evening: we will be catching up with taekwondo player
:41:04. > :41:10.Jade Jones, who is aiming to defend her 57 kilo title.
:41:11. > :41:15.We will see a fascinating semifinal bout for Nicola Adams against China
:41:16. > :41:20.on the woman she beat in the London 2012 gold.
:41:21. > :41:25.And we will check our GB men's doubles pair in Marcus Ellis and
:41:26. > :41:53.Chris Langridge and how they got on in their bronze medal match.
:41:54. > :42:08.Usain Bolt, streaking away from the field. It is gold, he has done it
:42:09. > :42:19.again! A new world record for Usain Bolt!
:42:20. > :42:24.Bolt goes at 2.30 in the morning in the 200 metres final. Please try and
:42:25. > :42:28.stay up if you can. This morning in the yellow Brick Stadium, it was the
:42:29. > :42:33.men's and women's sprint relay qualification heats. We will show
:42:34. > :42:35.you the women's second heat now, with the reigning champions, the
:42:36. > :42:47.USA, going in lane two. COMMENTATOR: Bartoletta will hand
:42:48. > :42:53.over to Allyson Felix. Trinidad and Tobago on the inside. Germany going
:42:54. > :42:59.well. Not a good change for Germany. Losing a bit of ground on Nigeria.
:43:00. > :43:07.The USA are well in this, Brazil a long way back. Ono, USA dropped it.
:43:08. > :43:13.Well, it is usually the men who mess it up for the Americans, but it is
:43:14. > :43:19.the women this time. Germany leading, Nigeria third. Brazil are
:43:20. > :43:30.coming right through into fourth place. Germany are going to win it.
:43:31. > :43:35.But the big news is... America are going to finish, I have no idea why,
:43:36. > :43:38.unless they feel they were somehow inhibited by one of the other teams.
:43:39. > :43:44.I didn't see anything to suggest that. I have no idea why they are
:43:45. > :43:52.finishing. We will have a look on the replay. But that is the big
:43:53. > :43:57.news. You can see Marion Bartoletta, very smooth. Allyson Felix, looking
:43:58. > :44:06.controlled down the back straight. Let's have a look what happens. The
:44:07. > :44:09.Brazilian came across. Allyson Felix got the batter knocked out of her
:44:10. > :44:14.hand, and I think that is the reason why the baton didn't reach Gardner.
:44:15. > :44:20.So perhaps it was a good idea that they retrieved the baton. Out she
:44:21. > :44:27.goes. You can see that the Brazilian was way too far over, and that was
:44:28. > :44:34.the cause of the problem. There are some wise heads out there. Allyson
:44:35. > :44:38.Felix, after being distraught, is going, take up the baton and go
:44:39. > :44:42.around. Where did this happen recently? Weren't we involved in
:44:43. > :44:43.this couple of championships ago? We have certainly suffered from like
:44:44. > :44:53.that. That would have been a great catch
:44:54. > :45:00.if she had caught that, she would have got signed up, that's for sure.
:45:01. > :45:03.The Americans did appeal their disqualification of the judges
:45:04. > :45:06.agreed with them they had been impeded by Brazil so they were
:45:07. > :45:11.offered a reprieve. What they had to do a couple of minutes ago was go
:45:12. > :45:18.back in their original lane and do a run-off, basically a time trial. If
:45:19. > :45:25.they beat 42.7 seconds then they would go through to the final, the
:45:26. > :45:36.rerun just involving the states was watched by Colin Jackson. This is a
:45:37. > :45:41.real test of their concentration, they can't afford to take it too
:45:42. > :45:45.easy, no lane infringements and no false start, thankfully. Comfortable
:45:46. > :45:50.to Allyson Felix now. The crowd are doing the best to lift them and give
:45:51. > :45:56.them a bit of atmosphere. English Gardner has the bat on a one more
:45:57. > :46:01.change to negotiate. They are on the last leg. She is a bit of a novice
:46:02. > :46:07.in the team here but she has got it and this is now all about the clock.
:46:08. > :46:16.42.70 is the time for this USA quarter to beat. 41.7 six. That is
:46:17. > :46:22.the fastest time of all of the teams from the two heats this morning. Of
:46:23. > :46:30.course Great Britain qualified in under 42 seconds as well, and that
:46:31. > :46:36.now is the fastest time, and Allyson Felix can breathe a huge sigh of
:46:37. > :46:39.relief. Despite it looking very odd, it was
:46:40. > :46:44.obviously very good news for the states and they were through and we
:46:45. > :46:47.can now return to normality and show you everything that happened in all
:46:48. > :46:50.the other heats involved and the women and we will start with the
:46:51. > :46:50.British women who were in lane seven.
:46:51. > :46:56.women and we will start with the British women who were in lane
:46:57. > :47:04.So, away they go. Three go through automatically and Great Britain are
:47:05. > :47:07.led out by Asha Philip who was running strongly at the minute in
:47:08. > :47:12.lane seven and the handover is a little bit close to Desiree Henry.
:47:13. > :47:17.It was not the best handover, very safe handover and Britain are
:47:18. > :47:21.backing a good position the moment. From Desiree Henry, on it goes to
:47:22. > :47:24.Dina Asher-Smith on the band. Jamaica are also in a good position.
:47:25. > :47:29.Three will go through and Britain are in the top three and alongside
:47:30. > :47:36.Jamaica at the moment. A final change is good but Shelly Ann Fraser
:47:37. > :47:42.Price has it for Jamaica. It is Jamaica, Great Britain and Ukraine
:47:43. > :47:46.who go through. Just to give you an indicator of the Jamaica strength it
:47:47. > :47:49.is inside the record that Britain ran in the anniversary games last
:47:50. > :47:56.month, but Great Britain are safely through. You have qualified for the
:47:57. > :48:02.final and you have been in such good form. This team just clicks. Yes,
:48:03. > :48:06.Dean came in after a hard one last night so we are thankful and it was
:48:07. > :48:10.a good job and we have been consistent with the times. We are
:48:11. > :48:17.happy and we have the confidence to go into the final. You always get a
:48:18. > :48:20.good start and then kick it on and what is it like to have the taste of
:48:21. > :48:26.the Olympic atmosphere and then coming not be fazed by it at all?
:48:27. > :48:30.Yes, it is exciting. After the 100 I wanted to be on the track again and
:48:31. > :48:33.that is for the relay and I am so excited because we can contend for a
:48:34. > :48:36.medal and just be here with the girls, I know we are standing on the
:48:37. > :48:41.track with a strong team so I feel confident running these girls. A
:48:42. > :48:52.great performance last night, I don't know of people will know that
:48:53. > :48:56.you have come out to run again. It was a tough turnaround and I've only
:48:57. > :49:00.had a few hours sleep but we have worked so hard as a relay team said
:49:01. > :49:04.there was no way I was going to be here today. You also a taste of this
:49:05. > :49:09.atmosphere and you know you know you will be in a final at the Olympics
:49:10. > :49:13.and probably contending for a medal. It is really exciting. After my heat
:49:14. > :49:17.I was disappointed in my performance but to come and do this in the relay
:49:18. > :49:23.and comfortable to get into the final. They will be the medal
:49:24. > :49:26.spokesman? We go for a medal? We have got ourselves in the best
:49:27. > :49:31.position on the national lottery put so much into us and we will not let
:49:32. > :49:33.anyone down, not ourselves, we will come out fighting. We will not give
:49:34. > :49:42.those girls are medal, they will have to try their best to take it
:49:43. > :49:47.from us. Best of luck. Away they go cleanly. Mike Rogers
:49:48. > :49:53.out very quickly and a good run from China. Rogers is making some ground
:49:54. > :49:58.and St Kitts and never Chad gone out strongly. It is the USA and China.
:49:59. > :50:05.Canada have ground to make up and France are hanging in. The USA have
:50:06. > :50:10.a decent enough change there. Three to go through automatically, it is
:50:11. > :50:14.the USA from China and they have the bat and safely. It is in the hands
:50:15. > :50:18.of the youngster and Canada are going strongly and the USA are
:50:19. > :50:21.through. They take the victory, then China and then Canada comfortably
:50:22. > :50:39.clear of the rest. 37.60 six. Away they go. He has got Holland
:50:40. > :50:45.outside, the Netherlands to work. It is a good change for Great Britain.
:50:46. > :50:50.Jamaica are safely through as well. Japan are flying. Germany trying to
:50:51. > :50:53.get back into this. It wasn't such a good change. Jamaica getting a
:50:54. > :50:58.Batten round and look at Japan, they are flying. Britain had to go into
:50:59. > :51:03.the top three. We are in third or fourth at the moment. Jamaica will
:51:04. > :51:11.come through and Japan. CJ has to move here, will he make third? No,
:51:12. > :51:17.he doesn't. Trinidad do make it. Through, but not quite the way you
:51:18. > :51:20.intended, I'm sure? That was all was going to be tough. It is the fastest
:51:21. > :51:24.we've ever run from lane one and I've never seen another team in the
:51:25. > :51:28.world go so fast from lame one but we can take positive that hopefully
:51:29. > :51:32.get an outside lane in the final and it has been solid from lane one so
:51:33. > :51:39.we couldn't really do more. We all ran great Lakes and we were proud of
:51:40. > :51:42.getting the job done from such a tight lane. The danger is that as a
:51:43. > :51:48.fastest loser qualify you could be in lane one or two again. You have
:51:49. > :51:51.to deal with it, went you, Harry? Obviously this is a competition to
:51:52. > :51:56.come here expecting anything. We came in as the world lead and we got
:51:57. > :52:01.the lane one so we had to go and run and we gave our all. You have to be
:52:02. > :52:05.competitive and I feel like we were and we put in a lot of hard work and
:52:06. > :52:10.it is just about moving forward now because we are in the final. James,
:52:11. > :52:16.you see teams like China and Japan setting Asian records or national
:52:17. > :52:20.records. 38 is the fastest time ever from lane one so it is a bit
:52:21. > :52:23.annoying because the Brits seem to be getting lane one lately, I don't
:52:24. > :52:27.fit is a bit of a conspiracy going on! We done well and we're just
:52:28. > :52:31.praying for the final that they give us a decent name because we want to
:52:32. > :52:34.be competitive. CJ commie had to bring the team home, did you realise
:52:35. > :52:44.the position you are in, chasing down? I realised but I had to just
:52:45. > :52:53.bring it home safely and qualify and the lads did a good job. It would be
:52:54. > :52:59.such a shame to not come away with a medal. Yes, we have an amazing squad
:53:00. > :53:05.out there with at great guys out there. We're not a team anymore, we
:53:06. > :53:10.are family and we will fight like a family in this final and we know no
:53:11. > :53:13.matter who comes in goes out, you are going to have faith in them and
:53:14. > :53:22.we are going to deliver our best performance. We will be back.
:53:23. > :53:25.We will go now to Steve Cram in the Olympic Stadium who watched all of
:53:26. > :53:26.those relays and they haven't got the luck of the draw, the British
:53:27. > :53:28.men, they are the luck of the draw, the British
:53:29. > :53:32.men, they are straight back in lane one for the final.
:53:33. > :53:35.That's what happens when you're a fastest loser. I was surprised that
:53:36. > :53:40.Richard Kilty didn't know about that. The outer lanes are for those
:53:41. > :53:44.who either win or have the faster times so the two fastest loser spots
:53:45. > :53:48.are drawn in one or two so they are unlucky to be back in one and two
:53:49. > :53:53.would have been a bit better so it will be tough. Given how quickly
:53:54. > :53:58.Japan one -- Rand, a new national record, even faster than the British
:53:59. > :54:04.record, including Usain Bolt and the American team that will be very
:54:05. > :54:08.tough to medal from lane one. The British women don't have a very good
:54:09. > :54:12.level -- medal chance. I think so. In contrast to the men, Adam Gemili
:54:13. > :54:16.could run because he is in the final tonight but it is the four we expect
:54:17. > :54:19.to be in the final and they looked good and confident and they'd save
:54:20. > :54:24.changes so there is a fair bit to come from the women. They are still
:54:25. > :54:29.the third fastest qualifiers. It is quite bizarre because the American
:54:30. > :54:35.team, having done that solo run, they only go through as a fastest
:54:36. > :54:40.loser so they go into lane one or two. I think the draw is still being
:54:41. > :54:44.made. The Americans have a bit of a disadvantage there but they won in
:54:45. > :54:47.2012 and they ran in a world record. They are not the same team but they
:54:48. > :54:51.will be tough. Jamaica will be tough but we have a real opportunity and
:54:52. > :54:56.the women are better than the men, you are right. I was going to ask
:54:57. > :55:01.you if it is harder or easier to run a relay on your own with nobody in
:55:02. > :55:04.any other lanes and they proved it was probably easier because they set
:55:05. > :55:08.a fastest time. What did you make of everything that happened? It is
:55:09. > :55:12.bizarre, I've seen this once or twice before when athletes have been
:55:13. > :55:15.impeded in lane events may have to come back in a half empty stadium,
:55:16. > :55:20.least there were more than a few people and a good atmosphere for
:55:21. > :55:23.them. The danger for them was not concentrating hard enough. If you
:55:24. > :55:31.are on your own and it becomes like a time tale -- time trial, that is
:55:32. > :55:35.it. Athletes used to do that but in a relay that I'll four of you and
:55:36. > :55:37.you have to get the dynamic camera changes right so it was tough for
:55:38. > :55:41.them. It looked easy, didn't it? It looked like they could turn up and
:55:42. > :55:45.do it but I think it would've been tough for them and in commentary we
:55:46. > :55:50.said there was a huge sigh of relief for them. China are out and they
:55:51. > :55:53.counted the protest that the Americans had made to give them a
:55:54. > :55:58.chance to do that but they are out of the final and America are in. Can
:55:59. > :56:09.you see anyone beating Usain Bolt tonight? No, I can't. It depends how
:56:10. > :56:14.fast he will go but no. I ask for a quick answer! Usain Bolt and Adam
:56:15. > :56:19.Gemili are in the 200 metres final at about 2:30am. We have any chance
:56:20. > :56:24.in the hurdles and we will join the athletics team at about 12:30am on
:56:25. > :56:30.BBC One. Next we will concentrate on Jade Jones who won Olympic gold in
:56:31. > :56:35.London as a teenager in the taekwondo 57 kilograms category. We
:56:36. > :56:39.will see how she gets on today. She will begin the defence of that title
:56:40. > :56:50.after we tell you have a fascinating sport works.
:56:51. > :56:58.Taekwondo originated in Korea and combines combat in self defence
:56:59. > :57:03.tactics. Each round is three minutes and the competitor can win on points
:57:04. > :57:07.or if the component is unable to continue. Points are available for
:57:08. > :57:11.accurate and powerful blows to the head and body. Attacks to the body
:57:12. > :57:15.can be made using a fist or a foot at an athlete can only use their
:57:16. > :57:19.feet to strike the area above the collar bone. Punches do the head and
:57:20. > :57:22.attacks to the spine are not allowed. The only techniques
:57:23. > :57:27.permitted or kicks where the athlete uses the area of the foot below the
:57:28. > :57:30.athlete and punches where the athlete uses the knuckle part of a
:57:31. > :57:37.tightly clenched fit. Scoring differs on where or how an athlete
:57:38. > :57:39.is attacked. One point is an attack to the body protector but if the
:57:40. > :57:43.attackers are turning or reverse kick it is worth three points. An
:57:44. > :57:50.athlete will receive three points for illegal kick to the head. If it
:57:51. > :57:53.is a turning gate, it achieves the maximum, four points. At the end of
:57:54. > :57:59.four rounds the competitor with the most points wins the match but in
:58:00. > :58:05.the event of a tie a golden time is held where the first athlete to
:58:06. > :58:13.score a point wins the contest. Jade Jones Heurtaux last 16 Baltops
:58:14. > :58:15.first and she eased past the African champion -- African championship
:58:16. > :58:38.silver medallist. Jade Jones then went on to face an
:58:39. > :58:42.Iranian teenager in the quarters. She is now representing Belgium
:58:43. > :58:47.where she works as a postwoman and she was outclassed by Jones, where
:58:48. > :58:51.she won 7-2. In the semifinals the Welsh final had -- the Welsh fighter
:58:52. > :59:07.had to face the fourth seed. Gold and silver on the horizon here
:59:08. > :59:14.at the Carioca Arena. It is a very big occasion and six minutes to
:59:15. > :59:18.decide it. Nikita Glasnovic comes forward with a push kick and Jade
:59:19. > :59:22.Jones is very aggressive. A great push kick in response, absolutely.
:59:23. > :59:32.She came forward straightaway. Both of them coming forward.
:59:33. > :59:39.Jones avoids it there. She tries to fit one out of her own there. It is
:59:40. > :59:45.a battle for territory, looking for the space. They kick their from
:59:46. > :59:50.Jones on the way through. No purchase on it though. The
:59:51. > :59:55.21-year-old, Nikita Glasnovic, slightly the taller of the two. The
:59:56. > :00:05.strength advantage for Jones. She tries to flick one upstairs.
:00:06. > :00:14.If you can spin, you get extra points. It has been an excellent
:00:15. > :00:19.opening first minute. They have just been feeling each other out, but
:00:20. > :00:32.good defence as well as attack from both.
:00:33. > :00:43.The Great Britain contingent in the crowd are trying to cheer forward
:00:44. > :00:49.Jade Jones. Taekwondo is all about optimal distance. Everyone's legs
:00:50. > :00:53.are different length, everyone likes to fight at a different range, but
:00:54. > :01:05.when you find a space, you have got to go for it. The Swede has 20
:01:06. > :01:14.seconds left. She will have to think about her tactics. Shut up shop, or
:01:15. > :01:27.go for it. Jones getting closer to the head. Glasgow Vic -- Glasnovic
:01:28. > :01:37.will be glad to hear the buzzer. A great start for Jade Jones. Both
:01:38. > :01:43.fighters' last-minute bits of rest. There is a Welsh contingent in the
:01:44. > :01:54.crowd. Paul Greene, the coach. Himself an Olympian back in Athens,
:01:55. > :02:05.but this is the Rio Olympic Games. Good defence from Jones. That push
:02:06. > :02:18.kick is so effective from Jade Jones. Glasnovic is doing well,
:02:19. > :02:22.resolute and hanging on. It is a 2-point game. It changes so quickly.
:02:23. > :02:41.That is a crumb of comfort for Jones. Great combinations as well.
:02:42. > :02:56.Well blocked by Glasnovic. The Swede is two points down. Glasnovic did
:02:57. > :03:10.bring a gift across. That is a gift of a point. That is one of the
:03:11. > :03:16.biggest things, she is so focused. Excellent response with the headshot
:03:17. > :03:22.from Glasnovic. The Swede flicked one of the stairs, found an open
:03:23. > :03:34.door and found the face of the Flint fighter.
:03:35. > :03:45.She committed, but found herself open for that. Credit to the Swede
:03:46. > :03:55.on that one. It was a one point game at the end of the first round. Jade
:03:56. > :04:04.Jones, Olympic champion back in London, a final at stake here.
:04:05. > :04:10.Neil Adams, Olympian yourself, silver medallist yourself, you know
:04:11. > :04:15.what this feeling is like, trying to get into the final. Absolutely. It
:04:16. > :04:19.is one of the hardest things in the world. You know you have everything
:04:20. > :04:27.resting on this now. I don't know what the coach will be saying to
:04:28. > :04:37.her, but we have seen so many that have been lost in the last two
:04:38. > :04:51.minutes. So she has to keep focused. Keep her head in the game. Glasnovic
:04:52. > :04:54.has been focused, the Swede. And of course, the 21-year-old has
:04:55. > :05:05.excellent pedigree coming into this, Nikita Glasnovic.
:05:06. > :05:17.That was an excellent push kick from Jade Jones, a good start.
:05:18. > :05:23.Great Britain's Jones beginning to get a bit of dominance. It is not
:05:24. > :05:32.just accurate as well, it has power, that front kick. Fantastic start
:05:33. > :05:43.from Jones. She scores again. If look at this, really going to work.
:05:44. > :05:48.She turns defence into attack. Jade Jones had a look in her corner,
:05:49. > :05:57.looking for a potential headshot, but her coach thought better of it.
:05:58. > :06:08.Nikita Glasnovic, from Sweden. Can she summon up the flexibility's does
:06:09. > :06:13.she have the variety? Jade Jones, excellent strength, keeping the
:06:14. > :06:17.Swede at bay. That is what she has to think about now, defence, rather
:06:18. > :06:27.than going forward. When she got scored on with the head, she was
:06:28. > :06:31.going forwards. Glasnovic tries the back like turning kick, well
:06:32. > :06:34.defended by Jones. A wonderful shot of the arena here. High drama in
:06:35. > :06:49.downtown Rio, Gold medals at stake. She just needs to stand her ground.
:06:50. > :07:00.She has got good defence. Just use it now. A good punch from Glasnovic,
:07:01. > :07:10.who looks exhausted. Jade Jones defending resolutely, a formidable
:07:11. > :07:11.force, the fighter from Flint. It is all about timing, just using that
:07:12. > :07:27.push kick to keep her away. Nikita Glasnovic on the attack,
:07:28. > :07:36.trying to go forward. Jade Jones, using her footwork. Jones avoids the
:07:37. > :07:41.headshot. She knows she has one foot in the Olympic final, one foot on
:07:42. > :07:49.the edge of the ring. The crowd are up for this one. The referee almost
:07:50. > :07:58.takes one to the head from Glasnovic. Good defence from Jade
:07:59. > :08:03.Jones. Can she defend her title? She is in the final, her second
:08:04. > :08:09.consecutive Olympic final. The British in the crowd go mad. They
:08:10. > :08:14.love it. Great support up there. That was amazing. Jade Jones, going
:08:15. > :08:29.for her second Olympic title. A very successful day for Jade
:08:30. > :08:32.Jones. Let's go over to the Olympic Park and the taekwondo arena and
:08:33. > :08:38.talk to Nick Hope, who has been inside for the whole time today.
:08:39. > :08:42.Before we get to the final, how has Jade looked? I know her coach said
:08:43. > :08:46.to you earlier that this is a very different Olympics for her because
:08:47. > :08:52.she is there to be shot at, where she was an unknown four years ago.
:08:53. > :08:56.Absolutely, she has gone from being the hunter to the hunted. Everybody
:08:57. > :09:00.stepped up their game when they take on Jade Jones. Everybody has
:09:01. > :09:05.analysed her style and tried to figure out why she was winning in
:09:06. > :09:09.London 2012. Since then, she has had to adapt her style, technique and
:09:10. > :09:14.tactics to combat the extra energy that everybody gives when they take
:09:15. > :09:17.her on. It took her a while to get used to being the Olympic champion.
:09:18. > :09:21.When she went into the World Championships in 2013, her first big
:09:22. > :09:25.event after the London Olympics, she struggled. She didn't win a medal
:09:26. > :09:29.and that knocks her confidence. It is only since she won gold in the
:09:30. > :09:33.European games and then the European Championships earlier this year that
:09:34. > :09:38.we have started to see the real Jade Jones that we saw from four years
:09:39. > :09:44.ago. Today, she has not been fazed by any of her three fights. She was
:09:45. > :09:47.incredibly impressive against Nikita Glasnovic in the previous round and
:09:48. > :09:52.she will take a lot of confidence going into today's final. How tough
:09:53. > :09:56.an opponent is she coming up against? This is the fight everybody
:09:57. > :10:02.wanted, the world number one in Jade Jones against the world number two
:10:03. > :10:09.in Eva Calvo Gomez. This is the most exciting fight in the women's under
:10:10. > :10:13.50 kilograms division. Eva Calvo Gomez has been unbeatable for two
:10:14. > :10:17.years heading into this season. She leads 5-3 in the head to head
:10:18. > :10:22.against Jade Jones, but Jade has come out on top in the last two
:10:23. > :10:27.including the last one, which was a 14-4 victory. It took her a while to
:10:28. > :10:31.figure out how to beat Eva Calvo Gomez, who is taller and has longer
:10:32. > :10:34.legs. But the momentum is with Jade and she will take that into the
:10:35. > :10:43.final and hopefully have a psychological edge over her as well,
:10:44. > :10:47.given the recent results. Jade Jones goes at two o'clock, followed by
:10:48. > :10:53.Bolt versus Gemili in the men's 200 metres final at 2.30. An Eilidh
:10:54. > :10:57.Doyle goes in the 400 metre hurdles this evening. We move on to
:10:58. > :11:02.badminton now. The last time Britain won a medal in badminton was in 2004
:11:03. > :11:05.with Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms taking a silver in Athens. There was
:11:06. > :11:09.a bronze on offer today for the men's doubles pair of Chris
:11:10. > :11:16.Langridge and Marcus Ellis. This is how they got on. Your commentators
:11:17. > :11:21.are Joe Clarke and Peter Blackburn. -- Joe Clarke.
:11:22. > :11:34.COMMENTATOR: It has been a tight opening game.
:11:35. > :11:40.That is what they do so well when they get on the attack, the Chinese
:11:41. > :12:14.pair. What was that, you have to speed up
:12:15. > :12:35.the bit in between rallies? Not terribly sure.
:12:36. > :12:45.Unbelievable defence from Chai. But the attacking play and the finish
:12:46. > :13:11.off from the front was once again lethal from Langridge.
:13:12. > :13:42.All-out attack pays dividends for the British pair. Three-game point
:13:43. > :14:04.opportunities in this bronze medal match.
:14:05. > :14:12.Well, how good was that. A net cord on the return of serve, when you are
:14:13. > :14:25.again point down. Game point down. So, one of the three game point has
:14:26. > :15:02.come and gone. So, a second game point opportunity
:15:03. > :15:29.for the British pair. It has gone long. Opening game to
:15:30. > :15:36.Langridge and LS. History in the making, perhaps. This is where the
:15:37. > :15:41.nerves of the Chinese will get tested.
:15:42. > :16:31.What a crucial crucial point coming up right now.
:16:32. > :16:39.A net cord on return of serve, making it awfully difficult to lift
:16:40. > :16:44.to the back of the court. Two game point opportunities. They were
:16:45. > :17:07.lining up for that. Is there a challenge here? There is
:17:08. > :17:21.a challenge here. That is ridiculous. I can't believe that. I
:17:22. > :18:02.suppose they just used it as a tactical time-out.
:18:03. > :18:12.Well, the previous rally was a net cord on return of serve. I can
:18:13. > :18:17.assure you that the players do practice to be able to get these
:18:18. > :18:25.next chords, this isn't just luck, that is what they aim to try and
:18:26. > :18:34.achieve. With post net play and returns of serve.
:18:35. > :18:44.So, one game point has been saved by the British pair. Another game point
:18:45. > :19:00.remains. That is what Chai Biao and Hong Wei.
:19:01. > :19:10.And they convert on their second opportunity. Chai Biao and a Hong
:19:11. > :19:16.Wei take the second game. What a good match this has been so far. I
:19:17. > :19:22.think the enormity of what could be achieved has perhaps hit the British
:19:23. > :19:47.pair. Suddenly looking nervous, looking tentative.
:19:48. > :19:56.That will help settle the nerves. Three points away from a bronze
:19:57. > :21:08.medal at the Olympic Games. Oh, that is an unbelievable smash.
:21:09. > :21:36.Ten opportunities to secure the bronze medal.
:21:37. > :21:50.There is a challenge. Call out. It was called out, the British pair
:21:51. > :21:57.have challenged. They are asking for the instant review. If the line call
:21:58. > :22:15.is overturned, the bronze medal goes to the British pair. It is in. A
:22:16. > :22:27.bronze medal for the British pair. A first ever medal in men's doubles
:22:28. > :22:33.for British players. Marcus Ellis, overcome with emotion. They were
:22:34. > :22:39.quite simply superb today. Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis, a pair
:22:40. > :22:47.currently ranked outside the top 20 in the world have beaten a pair that
:22:48. > :22:55.has been as high as three in the world ranking. My goodness, didn't
:22:56. > :23:01.they deserve it? Britain 's first-ever badminton
:23:02. > :23:03.medal in the men's doubles on the first badminton medal for Great
:23:04. > :23:08.Britain in 12 years, what does it mean? I just can't believe it, I
:23:09. > :23:14.don't believe it's happened yet. When we saw that review on the final
:23:15. > :23:22.point, I can't describe my feelings. I am just completely lost for words.
:23:23. > :23:29.Give us some words, Chris. It is mental. Like... Like, it is...
:23:30. > :23:32.Literally I can't see anything because it is just the most
:23:33. > :23:39.incredible feeling. We have worked so hard and to achieve this is
:23:40. > :23:43.like... I literally can't say anything, I literally can't say
:23:44. > :23:49.anything, I'm just so, so happy. It's a brilliant bronze medal and
:23:50. > :23:52.all fabulous victory over badminton tightens China who are ranked five
:23:53. > :23:56.in the world and you are number 22 and you have beaten the third seeds
:23:57. > :24:00.on this journey and they can rip up the ranking lists now! I think at
:24:01. > :24:04.the Olympics you can territory right away because not many top seeds with
:24:05. > :24:08.a win because of the way of the Olympic Sears and to come here and
:24:09. > :24:12.perform the way we did on our very first match we knew we could compete
:24:13. > :24:15.with anyone and we had a very tough semifinal and I think they were
:24:16. > :24:18.better than us the other day but going into today we had never played
:24:19. > :24:22.them before and it was a fresh game and we knew we had a chance if we
:24:23. > :24:26.played well and today we are so happy that we have managed to do it
:24:27. > :24:28.for ourselves and for badminton, which is massive for our sport and I
:24:29. > :24:33.am so proud to which is massive for our sport and I
:24:34. > :24:38.am so proud to be a part of it. As they said, that is such a huge
:24:39. > :24:42.medal for the sport of badminton, which is crying out for more
:24:43. > :24:48.attention and it is a huge medal for the duo themselves could, who, as
:24:49. > :24:54.you heard, are ranked number 22 in the world. We will now go to boxing,
:24:55. > :25:01.and there are only two Britons left standing in these Olympics, and one
:25:02. > :25:05.of them is Nicola Adams. She was fighting in her flyweight semifinal
:25:06. > :25:13.today and taking on Ren Cancan, the woman she beat in the final in 2012.
:25:14. > :25:21.The 51 kilograms semifinal, who will go through to the gold-medal bout?
:25:22. > :25:24.We are under way. Semifinal action in the women's 51 kilograms
:25:25. > :25:29.flyweight division, between two rivals who know one another very
:25:30. > :25:35.well indeed. The box are wearing red, the reigning Olympic champion,
:25:36. > :25:40.Nicola Adams, the British boxer. The Chinese boxer, wearing blue,
:25:41. > :25:44.operating out of southpaw stance is Ren Cancan. So much history between
:25:45. > :25:49.these two, they have met five times before and Nicola Adams is trailing
:25:50. > :25:55.in that rivalry. 2-3 against the former three-time World Championship
:25:56. > :26:00.world medallist. She took those titles in 2008, 2010 and 2012 and on
:26:01. > :26:04.two of those occasions she reduced Nicola Adams to silver medal status
:26:05. > :26:08.in the World Championships. Nicola Adams got it right on the grandest
:26:09. > :26:13.stage of all at the Olympic Games. It is a good left hand from Ren
:26:14. > :26:17.Cancan. It is important for Adams to lead off with a right hand and hit
:26:18. > :26:21.the target. If she misses the target with a right Angie Paul Flynn and
:26:22. > :26:27.that is a bad position to be against a good southpaw like Ren Cancan. She
:26:28. > :26:33.can't neglect her jab. She started the contest well with a couple of
:26:34. > :26:37.good jabs and she has to measure that shot before she throws the
:26:38. > :26:40.right hand. That is what she has to do here. Nicola Adams is the
:26:41. > :26:44.reigning World Championship gold medallist and that right-hand wasn't
:26:45. > :26:48.too far away and that second one got through. A nice left uppercut from
:26:49. > :26:52.Ren Cancan and using good footwork to get back to the space of the
:26:53. > :26:56.ring. Timing and accuracy are paramount here for Nicola Adams.
:26:57. > :27:04.What she is doing is sitting back and waiting for her which is not a
:27:05. > :27:07.bad thing to do against a southpaw. Then she comes back with a right
:27:08. > :27:14.hand. She needs to work more with the jab.
:27:15. > :27:22.So, plenty of fainting and sabre rattling with those lead hands in
:27:23. > :27:26.the closing ten seconds or so. A very good round of boxing from both
:27:27. > :27:34.individuals and they both enjoyed success. Not a lot in it at all, is
:27:35. > :27:39.there, in the first round. Another physical chess match here. Each
:27:40. > :27:43.boxer doesn't want to make a mistake. Make a mistake at this
:27:44. > :27:48.level and your opponent will punish you, they know that. That is a nice
:27:49. > :27:50.attack from Ren Cancan but Nicola Adams gets through with the right
:27:51. > :28:08.hand and it is a All judges have favoured Ren Cancan,
:28:09. > :28:16.the reigning Olympic silver medallist, takes the opening lead.
:28:17. > :28:21.So we're into the second round now. Women's scheduled for four 2 minutes
:28:22. > :28:25.rounds. Nicola Adams comes out in an aggressive mood and pecking away
:28:26. > :28:28.with that straight left hand but a good left that good through to the
:28:29. > :28:33.body from Ren. Better start from Adams, we spoke about it earlier in
:28:34. > :28:38.the first round. She just neglected it a little bit. She has to settle
:28:39. > :28:43.that backhand with the lead hand first. The left hand has to go in
:28:44. > :28:50.before the right. She can't afford to fall short. She's got to get her
:28:51. > :29:01.feet into position. Ren effectively boxing on her left foot. Ritchie
:29:02. > :29:06.drew the analogy of physical chess, because Nicola Adams used the sport
:29:07. > :29:07.the same way - drawing on skills and
