Day 13 BBC One: 22.30-00.00 Olympics

Time. The measure of mankind, a master. Ruling over us. Persistent.

Unrelenting. The world record has gone! Waiting for no one. A new

world record for Usain Bolt! We can't control it, we can't turn it

back. Usain Bolt has false started. Did we fight it. Try to break it.

It's the past. The world record beckons, and it has gone! The

present. And Michael Johnson's record has gone! The future. Time.

Time is everything. Michael Johnson there, who knows a

thing or two about time and world records, setting the scene perfectly

ahead of the men's 200 metres final, which we will see later tonight.

It's another big evening at the athletics. It's another big night

for this man. Usain Bolt, going for Olympic gold number eight as he bids

for eight treble treble of three sprint golds at three successive

Olympics. There is nothing certain as sport, as we all know, but shocks

can happen. However, Bolt is without doubt the man to beat tonight. And

that is one of the shots of the whole of the Olympics. Good evening.

Bolt's 200 metres final is at 2.30, UK time. I know that is very late

and I know it is still a very long time away, but hopefully, you can

stay awake until then. At the very least, set an and you can join Gabby

and the athletics team in the Olympic Stadium to keep you awake,

we have an awful lot coming up this evening.

It's a family affair as the Brownie brothers look for a Brazilian want

to. -- the Brownlee brothers we will catch up with Clark and Mills as

they sail for gold. And the double acts continue in the

canoe sprint, with Liam Heath and Jon Schofield on a medal mission.

And we will see Britain's men's doubles duo Marcus Ellis and Chris

language in their battle for bronze. -- Chris language. Gold is the only

thing on the mind of reigning taekwondo champion Jade Jones.

And Nicola Adams has similarly lost the ambition. She was in semifinal

action today. Funnily, at half past midnight, we

had to the track. Adam Gemili lines up alongside Usain Bolt in the 200

metres. Eilidh Doyle goes in the 400 metre hurdles final.

So going into day 13, let's show you where Team GB stands. 50 medals

after 12 days in Rio, a couple ahead of London and many ahead of Beijing.

It continues to go very well. We start tonight with the men's

triathlon, which took place all around this studio on the Copacabana

Beach. The Brownlee brothers took gold and bronze back in 2012, so

could they go one better here, or cod Jonny Brownlee beat his brother?

Jason Mohammad was that find out. As far as sporting locations go, they

don't get much better than this. Is Copacabana Beach are usually a place

of fun, sand, sea and relaxation. Today, however, it's a little

different. The site of Alistair Brownlee

winning gold at London 2012 was one of the enduring images of the games,

and he is favoured for gold here at the triathlon in Rio once again,

especially given that his main rival, Javier Gomez, is out through

injury. But there is one other rival, his brother Johnny. We could

have a right brotherly battle for gold and silver. It has been an

incredible Games and that will put pressure on the athletes, because

they are going, we are the gold and bronze medallists from London, look

what the guys have done here, can we replicate that? Here is the man that

everyone will be watching aside from the brothers, Marion Moeller. The

final countdown. Alistair not getting the best of

starts, a bit slow getting into the water. Richard Wagner is leading

them through. Oh, somebody has been ducked and held under. The swim is

almost up. The two Brownlee brothers are in the top ten. Alistair

Brownlee in sixth place. A big battle to get in front as they come

out of the water and then onto their bikes. Really hot conditions

tonight. Wagner comes out of the water, the first into transition.

Varga of Slovakia is in the front, and now it is a 40 kilometre mix.

Mola is 19 seconds off the mix. Great to see Jonathan Brownlee

leading the triathlon. This is their bread and butter. The ride the hills

of West Yorkshire, day in, day out. 18 seconds at the end of the first

lap. They have more than doubled their advantage. That is an

extraordinary second lap, huge margin in favour of the Brownlee

brothers. Mola is having a torrid time on his bike this afternoon. So

the Brownlee brothers are working together in the leading pack. Once

they cross the start and finishing line, they will have one more

circuit on two wheels before setting their sights on the 10,000 metre run

to round things off. Everything so far is falling into place for

Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee. We can see a crash. One more lap to go.

There is nothing in it. The transition could be crucial. France

has never had an Olympic medal in the triathlon. The Brownlees are

working as a team to close the gap. The final stage, a four lab run.

Jonny is first to move. And the brothers have a gap of a couple of

metres over Luis now. Looks like a Brownlee will claim the Olympic

title, which one will it be? 5,000 metres lefty run. Alistair has moved

ahead of Jonathan. Looks like Alistair Brownlee is finally pulling

away. The majority of fans here cannot take their eyes off that

big-screen and this amazing triathlon and more importantly, the

Brownlee brothers. He will be the first man to successfully defend the

Olympic title. No triathlete has ever done that in the past. Into the

final stages of this Olympic triathlon in Rio. He can start to

enjoy it now. He has found the flag. He is the finest triathlete we have

ever seen! It will be a glorious golden 44 Alistair Brownlee, the

Olympic triathlon champion for the second time! It's a one-two, a gold

and silver for the Brownlee brothers. Two brothers, triathlon,

side-by-side, flat on their backs after putting in an unbelievable

performance. Well done, fellas. Every day this year has been so

hard. I have woken up in pain every day! That was so hard. The swim

wasn't that quick. We knew before the race, the first two lapse on the

bikes would be crucial. As soon as we were halfway through and we had a

good gap, I was like, we are going to get two medals. I was confident

we would get first and second. I didn't know which way we were going

to go. Obviously, I just had the edge on Jonny. But he has killed me

in training almost every day. I have been going through hell this year.

It was a really hard race. We had to go hard on the swim. If we didn't

get a big gap, we were really committed. It was hard, it is a hot

day, so I knew we had to control it. When Alastair Bruce, I thought I

might risk a medal. We always talk about the mental edge. Is that what

you have over Jonny? I'm not a massive fan of the mental thing. You

can only go as hard as you can go. The only thing in my favour is that

I have a bit more of an endurance -based engine. But we have both

worked so hard on the bike. That might not have come across. That

race was won on the first two laps of the bike. To get gold and silver,

I am incredibly proud. I don't get emotional, I am a tough Yorkshire

men, but I was emotional at the end. You must be the proudest parents in

Brazil. Massively proud, but relieved. To see them race like

that, they deserve it. They train hard. You worry that they will push

it too hard, but wow, what a pair. Totally proud of them. Also, to have

one athlete, you must be proud. To have both your boys running in the

same event, that is incredible. But they have always been competitive

and they have always competed in the same things. So it isn't different.

And has there always been that friendly rivalry? Definitely. They

were more competitive in some ways when they were younger. They are now

supportive of each other. They realise that if they work together,

they have an advantage over competitors. But the run is a true

race. The fastest runner wins. What a setting. Jonathan Brownlee is the

Olympic silver medallist. He took bronze four years ago. A silver in

Rio in 2016, after another magnificent performance. Outstanding

once again, Alistair Brownlee, as he was four years ago. Great Britain's

20th gold medal, Alistair Brownlee's second. History made. The first

athlete to win the Olympic triathlon on two occasions.

And Alistair and Jonny are in the studio with me now. Congratulations

to you both. It was only when you sat down here that you were aware

that you are the first brothers to get gold and silver in an Olympic

Games since the brothers from Italy in 1960 in equestrian. Does the

history of sport matter to you? I think it matters after you have done

it. It is not the kind of thing that you set up home on a winter Friday

night and start looking through the history books and thinking, if we

could get a one-two, it would be the first since 1960! But now you have

done it, you focus every day on the results. Once you have done it, it

is a cool fact. I guess it shows how rarities. But like Jonny said

earlier, if you look hard enough, you can find a bit of history in

everything. If you leave it to sack people like

me to look at the stats and you just perform. How brutal was it? Very

brittle, Olympic triathlon is a very tough sport. It was hot and we have

been looking at the forecast for the last few days and hoping it would be

too hot so we were unlucky today because it was cold in the morning

and it's called now but our race was hot but we had a plan to make it a

hard race because in the last few months we have been the fastest

runners in the field so our only way of getting a gold and silver, or

guaranteeing it was to make the swim on the bike very hard so we turned

into an honest to our race so it was very hard. Two successive Olympic

golds is a remarkable achievement, especially considering the injury

problems you have had. In any sporting career there are ups and

downs. I've had my fair share of ups and downs in the last four years.

Less than a year ago I was having a major operation on my ankle and

coming back from that has been tough. It's an extra challenge but I

saw -- I saw that as part of the challenge and get to the start line

in the great condition and overcoming the ankle problem is all

part of the challenge, not just training as hard as I can but all of

that is the package and that is how I went about focusing this year. It

is a big thing to change, training for me is training as hard as I can

but now it is hacked -- allowing for the ankle in training as hard as I

can. I will come onto training in a moment but obviously, when we watch

you we are fascinated by the brother thing, as well as your talent. When

you were on that second lap and it was just the two of you, away from

the rest of the field, are you running as brothers, or are you

running as competitors? We were running as brothers until we dropped

the French guy and then we were kind of guaranteed the first two or at

least had a good chance of gold and silver and then switched into a bit

of a rivalry and I had to try and beat Alistair. That switched from me

until the point at the race where I got dropped and then I thought, oh,

no. At that point of the race we started to race each other but up to

that point we were next to each other on the beach start talking to

each other until ten seconds to go and on the swim I knew Ali was

behind me and I knew how quick I was and I wouldn't fight him but on the

bike we were working together all the time and when we distanced

ourselves from the rest of the field we were racing each other for a

little bit. Did you think about Johnny when you went into the lead?

I was thinking that I hoped he didn't catch me up but I was

confident and I made the gap quickly and I was into my running and I felt

a bit better moving faster and moving over the ground so I knew

there was very little chance of third-place catching him and he was

going well enough but it still went through my head. I was still hoping

he wouldn't overheat and that kind of thing. Did you have a plan in

your mind before you started the race? Given the fact that you train

together, how much of your race plan to keep secret from each other? Not

much, we know each other so well so obviously we have talked about the

swim and the bike and we're working together and that is quite discussed

and set down. Once we're on the we could start keeping it a secret and

stuff but we know each other so well, Johnny knows it if I get in

the last 200 metres with him he has a very good chance that sprinting me

and he knows I know that and I know he knows that, so we know it. Johnny

knows I will try get away before the last kilometre at some point so

there is no real point keeping secrets from each other because we

kind of both know what our aims are and we both want to win and we know

how each other can win so you just have to go out and do it. What did

you say to each other at the end when you were lying on your backs so

that blue mat? Did I speak first did you speak first? One of us spoke

first and we said, we have done it, that's the big thing and relief of

pulling it off and what a massive special moment and you are just

tired, you want to sit down and you've been racing as hard as you

can for one hour 45 in ridiculous heat so I was ready for a sit down,

really. Or lie down! It's just a lovely shot, of an Olympics where

we've seen a lot of lovely shots. Because it is gold and silver, does

it top London? I think the performance tops London and the

results, obviously gold and silver, but the whole event of a home

Olympics and half a million people cheering you on, but my view of

London is that it has happened now and as an athlete you have to move

on because I said after London I would never have a better triathlon

than that ever again with half a million people cheering you on a

British flags and Yorkshire fan so it was different but I think this

was more special in that we got gold and silver in you can genuinely say

you can't do any better. What you do now? When due next train? You talk

about how much you like training and you say you like pain and he has

batted you in training, do you have any time off? As much as I say I

love training... Is that like? Well, the grass is always greener, isn't

it? The Olympics is cool, isn't it? We have had to focus so much of the

race up until now so I think we will definitely enjoy the next few days.

We are massive spore fans and we will go and watch as much as we can

we are due to race again in the next few weeks. He might race next

weekend and there is another World Series in two weeks on Saturday. We

still have a bit of time to John -- enjoy the Olympics first. Take the

next few days. You going to the closing yes, definitely. We will go

to the Marina da Gloria now because there was a gold medal there for the

women sailors in the 470, so this is Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark. They

had already got the gold medal as long as they were disqualified from

this race. The race was postponed from yesterday so hopefully we will

see the celebrations were Shirley Roberts.

Today was the last day of action out on the waters and what a it was.

Four medal races and a beautiful 40 knot breeze. Britain were confirmed

gold in one class and with the Chancellor medal in another it was a

mouthwatering prospect. Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark knew they had won

gold as they prepared to sale this morning. They knew it three days ago

when they clinched the medal with one day to spare so today was a long

time coming. Yesterday I was so tired after the whole week and this

is day nine of our competition and I just ran out of energy yesterday and

I found it all too much so it is actually nice to come back today

after a good nights sleep and I really feel I can enjoy the day and

enjoy the race and enjoy the moment so I am excited. We have all these

messages from home which is amazing but until we get the medals and we

have the flag and the anthem, it's not over for us. The women's 472

person dinghy, the final race gets underway. Hannah Mills and Saskia

Clark from Great Britain start safely behind the rest.

When racing up and away it was a simple formality and the British duo

decided to keep away from the action and let the fight for minor medals

go one without them. Remember, all they have to do is cross the finish

line without a disqualification. Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark,

silver medal winners in London 2012, and now, as they crossed the finish

line, bringing their rear campaign to a close, it is gold-medal for

Great Britain. The dream had taken an age to become a reality, but with

the gold-medal finally confirmed, Saskia Mills and -- Hannah Mills and

Saskia Clark just had to celebrate. They celebrated by sailing of the

racecourse and onto the beach where mothers, cousins and boyfriends

while waiting, it was quite an Olympic moment. Huge

congratulations, gold medallists from Rio 2016, and the biggest of

smiles. It is absolutely awesome. We had a massive lead but we still had

to race today and we were still nervous that something could happen

but we did it. It wasn't that pretty race but we did it and it was

awesome. Two days ago you were so nearly there and so reluctant to

celebrate until this moment, to show this together after so long trying,

what's it like? I can't even speak, amazing, absolutely amazing. We have

such an amazing journey with six years of sailing together and I have

loved every second. She is the best person ever! I love her. Sadly no

fairy tale end for Luke Patience and Chris Grube, they sell their final

race knowing that had no chance of a medal, and ended their story with a

third in the medal race, finishing back in fifth overall. If the

British story was over for the 470 before today's started, in the men's

skiff there was a medal to fight for. Bronze was in reach. Runs

wasn't out of it. If they could get four boats between themselves and

the Australians, they would climb into the medal zone. The medal race

for the men's two-handed high-performance boat gets underway

in Rio. Just two next to go they sailed from no hope to good chance,

as they approach the bottom gate, for boats abreast and Australia in

their side. An important moment for Great Britain and Spain and Poland

and they all coming into the gate at the same time. I just think they

have... Great Britain capsize at the bottom of the course. Disaster for

Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign. They won the inside of the turn against

the Polish and they were looking strong in this but just a slight

slip in the balance and they are capsized, and the rest of the field

sales passed. British chances sailed away up the racecourse and they

ended their Olympics in sixth place. One race left ago but no British

medal prospect in the 49er fracture but there is an all performance --

an all-important competition to be top sailing nation. If New Zealand

could win this one they could conquer the world but if they failed

Britain would top the medal table all they -- Table Bay have topped

all -- every time except once. Four boats went into the medal race with

a chance of gold. Great Britain was not in this game and Charlotte

Dobson and Sophie Ainsworth made life hard for themselves, capsizing

twice, but by this time the real attention was on the fight at the

front and what a fight it was. Down to the final moments of this leg.

Brazil are looking better and better by the second. Brazil are still in

the lead, the gold-medal about to go to the world number one pair, Brazil

there the 49er fracture away, they are barely crossing the finish line,

it will be a jibe right on the finish line, and it is gold for

Brazil, coming down to the final bow legs. It was a great day of Saint

Matt Crampton regatta that was every bit as challenging as the sale is

expected. Two gold silver mean that once again Great Britain is the top

sailing nation and a joy and relief on our three medallists were evident

in every celebration. Gold for Giles Scott, gold for Hannah Mills and

Saskia Clark, silver for Nick Dempsey, that was the sailing story

from Rio 2016. Hannah and Saskia are in the studio

with me and you are about as happy as saying your mum on telly as you

are about the gold medal around your neck! Yes, it's overseeing mum on

telly! That was a very special ending, wasn't it, to the race and

the competition? You took your boat to the sand and got friends and

relatives to come into the sea, which isn't normally done. It's not

normally done. Is it frowned upon in sailing? It might have been a little

bit out of the roles but it is once in your life you would gold-medal,

or at least in my life and it is so special to share it with people. Has

it been an emotional time out here in Rio because you are due to retire

after these games? We have been so focused on ourselves and our

competition and doing it right, in London we didn't quite finish and we

did want to leave Rio with any regrets, we wanted to be proud of

what we have achieved and we can do that now and the emotional and

everything. Does it put pressure on you going into it because you know

it is the last time you are going to race together? I definitely thought

about it a lot. We are the best of friends and we have had such an

amazing six years sailing together knowing that this is it for Saskia,

I thought about it a lot and I knew that if we could just get our heads

together and focus on the job we need to do and not focus on that for

the ten days that we have been competing then we would be in a good

place. For people who don't watch a lot of sailing or realise how it

works, of which I include myself, why do you think you have worked so

well as the duo? Technically, in the boat, or how you get on as to

individuals? We don't get seasick, and like yourself -- unlike

yourself! OK, back to you too, I did once have to get up a pedalo because

I was seasick! In London it was pure want. We had to get there in the

trials and had to get to the home games and stuff but this campaign

has been a lot more considered and we had a lot more time to think

about it as a pair and we had an amazing coach and a mental who is a

double silver medallist himself so this is his first gold medal as

well. -- amend tour. We had a support team that was organising

races for us that were pretty tricky and it has been normal and no

surprises. You came out here to pair and train a couple of years ago and

you were mugged when you out here then, how important was that

preparation when you out here two years ago? What did you learn and

put into operation? Loads. This was our tenth trip. For

us, there are five race areas, all very different. You have to learn

each one inside out. We were proud with the preparation

we put in place. What happens now? I hate asking this question after you

have won a gold medal, but I still seem to ask this question a lot! Do

you know what you are going to do? Cry! I haven't thought. I have no

idea if I want to try for Tokyo, I just want to enjoy the moment with

Sass and celebrate together. And you are going to go off and work for the

Andrea Simpson sailing -- Andrew Simpson sailing foundation. Andrew

Simpson was a gold medallist who sadly died in an accident. Sun yes,

I will work for the charity set up in his name, which is about giving

kids the opportunity to sail. It is great for confidence. I really

believe in the values of the charity and getting selling out there to as

broad an audience as possible. We wish you both well. Congratulations

for being part of a British team that topped the sailing medal table

with two gold and silver. Enjoy the evening. We are going to go from the

water at the Marina da Gloria to the Lagoa lake. Huge success for Britain

in the rowing on that lake, but it was now the turn of the canoeists.

We are going to watch the K2 200 metre final. Liam Heath and Jon

Schofield were going for Great Britain. The key is making the most

of both the athletes in the boat. You need to get 100% out of both

guys to have any chance. Both guys need to be in the condition of their

lives. And they need to execute in perfect synchronicity. The race

itself was just a blur. Crossing the line, desperately trying to figure

out where we had come. I didn't have a clue, and then when we got told we

had got the bronze, in a fit of joy, I snapped the paddles across my

legs! Stepping up on that podium was incredible. It was almost dreamlike.

You remember it because you are on cloud nine. Liam Heath and Jon

Schofield, bronze medallists, and the smiles say it. We did pretty

well, but this time, we were more ruthless about how we prepared.

Hopefully, that will give us more of an edge. We are a lot more mature as

athletes and competitors. And we attack each race in the same style,

but with more knowledge behind it. We have been together as a crew

since 2010. I don't think there are any other crews that raised then

that are still together now, and none that have sustained the same

performance throughout. We have won a medal in every World Cup we have

been to over the last Olympic cycle, which is one of the most consistent

crews out there. That consistency comes with still wanting to be in

the boat together and wanted to improve. The sport has moved on

since London 2012. So although we are faster now than we were them, it

is even harder to win medals at the moment. You always want to do

better. You can't do any better than an Olympic gold, can you? That is

what we are looking towards. Having unfinished business from London, we

know what we are going to do. We are racing to win.

Great Britain with a real chance of taking models. Liam Heath and Jon

Schofield, who got the bronze four years ago. Can they do the same

again? Away they go. Olympic glory is just 30 seconds away. Lithuania

start very strongly. Heat and Schofield left a bit behind. The

pink boat belongs to Germany, but they are trailing at the moment.

Spain and Lithuania in the middle. Spain starting to come strong in the

closing stages. Still no sign for the British. Now they accelerate,

Heath and Scofield move up, level in second position. The Spaniards are

still reading. The gold goes to Spain. Very tight between Great

Britain and Lithuania in the silver medal position. But photo finishes

right away throughout. I said the Spaniards had an impressive win in

the World Cup, nowhere near as impressive as their Olympic final

one. Great Britain have got the silver one better than London. They

will be delighted. It was a fantastic performance. It was a slow

start from Heath and Scofield, well below the performance we saw at the

start of the semifinal yesterday. But they believed, where others

might not have done. First medal of the canoe sprint regatta in Rio.

They have got the silver medal. Coming into the games, we heard you

talking about the fact that you had unfinished business from London. You

got the bronze. How satisfying is it now to have grabbed the silver?

Unbelievable. Set up destroying. This guy is on fire. He has been

killing me in training, day in, day out. I didn't want to let him down.

He is the best guy out there. Sun I am basically sat in the front of the

boat, and he tells me what to do. So I don't have to think, I just have

to go as hard as I can. It is a wonderful combination. How long can

this go on for, could you do one more? I am not sure yet. I will have

to take some time-out. My wife might have a say in it as well. You also

have some unfinished business, Liam. Well done today. We look forward to

seeing you later in the week. Liam goes in the K1 tomorrow, but

John is here. Let's revisit the point that wishy ask you about the

unfinished business that you felt you had from London. Does this close

that? We will see! No, it is certainly a step towards it. There

was nothing more we could have done today. I am happy to have improved

on what felt out of this world in London. You tweeted that you respect

every competitor in this final just because of how fast they are. And it

showed in the race. That finish line picture, jeepers! There were world

record holders, a couple of world champions there. There was quality

all over that field. I don't think anyone underperformed today. As we

were watching it together in that heat, you said that actually, over

recent races, the finish had been the weakest part of your race.

Totally. Even earlier this year, if we had been in that position with 50

metres to go, no one would have backed us. So I am proud that we

recognised that an opt for training to emphasise that part of the race,

and it paid off. How do you do that? Do you literally put yourself

halfway down the line and practised the finish? The big thing was one of

the key efforts we put in to emphasise 300 metre time trials

instead of 200. So part of that was a mental thing, so we were confident

we could keep going. Then there is a physiological thing, the anaerobic

dose you get doing 300 metres in 48 seconds. It would destroy as for the

next half-hour. It was painful training for guys like us, but it

worked. The actual technique, are you relying purely on brute

strength? No, there's heaps of technique. It was a brute strength

contest, me and Liam would have been at the back. So it is about being in

sync with Liam? It is about being in sync, your efficiency and your power

to weight ratio. If you are heavy, your muscles have to be strong

enough. How did you personally stuck in the sport? Through the Cub

Scouts. Not competitive at all, just loved canoeing. It is like when you

are a kid, you try a whole load of things and something sticks. For me,

it was canoeing through the Cub Scouts. Then people saw that I was

serious and started helping me out and I gradually progressed. What are

Liam's chances? You said you didn't want to let him down today because

he is the best guy out there. What are his chances tomorrow? His

chances are very good. I don't want to jinx him, but he is absolutely

flying. The guy in front of the Spanish boat, he is now a double

Olympic champion, triple medallist. He is pretty good. Liam is neutered

to the K1 scene and has been dominant, though. And you will cheer

him on. Congratulations. Enjoy tonight, and fingers crossed.

Still to come this evening: we will be catching up with taekwondo player

Jade Jones, who is aiming to defend her 57 kilo title.

We will see a fascinating semifinal bout for Nicola Adams against China

on the woman she beat in the London 2012 gold.

And we will check our GB men's doubles pair in Marcus Ellis and

Chris Langridge and how they got on in their bronze medal match.

Usain Bolt, streaking away from the field. It is gold, he has done it

again! A new world record for Usain Bolt!

Bolt goes at 2.30 in the morning in the 200 metres final. Please try and

stay up if you can. This morning in the yellow Brick Stadium, it was the

men's and women's sprint relay qualification heats. We will show

you the women's second heat now, with the reigning champions, the

USA, going in lane two. COMMENTATOR: Bartoletta will hand

over to Allyson Felix. Trinidad and Tobago on the inside. Germany going

well. Not a good change for Germany. Losing a bit of ground on Nigeria.

The USA are well in this, Brazil a long way back. Ono, USA dropped it.

Well, it is usually the men who mess it up for the Americans, but it is

the women this time. Germany leading, Nigeria third. Brazil are

coming right through into fourth place. Germany are going to win it.

But the big news is... America are going to finish, I have no idea why,

unless they feel they were somehow inhibited by one of the other teams.

I didn't see anything to suggest that. I have no idea why they are

finishing. We will have a look on the replay. But that is the big

news. You can see Marion Bartoletta, very smooth. Allyson Felix, looking

controlled down the back straight. Let's have a look what happens. The

Brazilian came across. Allyson Felix got the batter knocked out of her

hand, and I think that is the reason why the baton didn't reach Gardner.

So perhaps it was a good idea that they retrieved the baton. Out she

goes. You can see that the Brazilian was way too far over, and that was

the cause of the problem. There are some wise heads out there. Allyson

Felix, after being distraught, is going, take up the baton and go

around. Where did this happen recently? Weren't we involved in

this couple of championships ago? We have certainly suffered from like

that. That would have been a great catch

if she had caught that, she would have got signed up, that's for sure.

The Americans did appeal their disqualification of the judges

agreed with them they had been impeded by Brazil so they were

offered a reprieve. What they had to do a couple of minutes ago was go

back in their original lane and do a run-off, basically a time trial. If

they beat 42.7 seconds then they would go through to the final, the

rerun just involving the states was watched by Colin Jackson. This is a

real test of their concentration, they can't afford to take it too

easy, no lane infringements and no false start, thankfully. Comfortable

to Allyson Felix now. The crowd are doing the best to lift them and give

them a bit of atmosphere. English Gardner has the bat on a one more

change to negotiate. They are on the last leg. She is a bit of a novice

in the team here but she has got it and this is now all about the clock.

42.70 is the time for this USA quarter to beat. 41.7 six. That is

the fastest time of all of the teams from the two heats this morning. Of

course Great Britain qualified in under 42 seconds as well, and that

now is the fastest time, and Allyson Felix can breathe a huge sigh of

relief. Despite it looking very odd, it was

obviously very good news for the states and they were through and we

can now return to normality and show you everything that happened in all

the other heats involved and the women and we will start with the

British women who were in lane seven.

women and we will start with the British women who were in lane

So, away they go. Three go through automatically and Great Britain are

led out by Asha Philip who was running strongly at the minute in

lane seven and the handover is a little bit close to Desiree Henry.

It was not the best handover, very safe handover and Britain are

backing a good position the moment. From Desiree Henry, on it goes to

Dina Asher-Smith on the band. Jamaica are also in a good position.

Three will go through and Britain are in the top three and alongside

Jamaica at the moment. A final change is good but Shelly Ann Fraser

Price has it for Jamaica. It is Jamaica, Great Britain and Ukraine

who go through. Just to give you an indicator of the Jamaica strength it

is inside the record that Britain ran in the anniversary games last

month, but Great Britain are safely through. You have qualified for the

final and you have been in such good form. This team just clicks. Yes,

Dean came in after a hard one last night so we are thankful and it was

a good job and we have been consistent with the times. We are

happy and we have the confidence to go into the final. You always get a

good start and then kick it on and what is it like to have the taste of

the Olympic atmosphere and then coming not be fazed by it at all?

Yes, it is exciting. After the 100 I wanted to be on the track again and

that is for the relay and I am so excited because we can contend for a

medal and just be here with the girls, I know we are standing on the

track with a strong team so I feel confident running these girls. A

great performance last night, I don't know of people will know that

you have come out to run again. It was a tough turnaround and I've only

had a few hours sleep but we have worked so hard as a relay team said

there was no way I was going to be here today. You also a taste of this

atmosphere and you know you know you will be in a final at the Olympics

and probably contending for a medal. It is really exciting. After my heat

I was disappointed in my performance but to come and do this in the relay

and comfortable to get into the final. They will be the medal

spokesman? We go for a medal? We have got ourselves in the best

position on the national lottery put so much into us and we will not let

anyone down, not ourselves, we will come out fighting. We will not give

those girls are medal, they will have to try their best to take it

from us. Best of luck. Away they go cleanly. Mike Rogers

out very quickly and a good run from China. Rogers is making some ground

and St Kitts and never Chad gone out strongly. It is the USA and China.

Canada have ground to make up and France are hanging in. The USA have

a decent enough change there. Three to go through automatically, it is

the USA from China and they have the bat and safely. It is in the hands

of the youngster and Canada are going strongly and the USA are

through. They take the victory, then China and then Canada comfortably

clear of the rest. 37.60 six. Away they go. He has got Holland

outside, the Netherlands to work. It is a good change for Great Britain.

Jamaica are safely through as well. Japan are flying. Germany trying to

get back into this. It wasn't such a good change. Jamaica getting a

Batten round and look at Japan, they are flying. Britain had to go into

the top three. We are in third or fourth at the moment. Jamaica will

come through and Japan. CJ has to move here, will he make third? No,

he doesn't. Trinidad do make it. Through, but not quite the way you

intended, I'm sure? That was all was going to be tough. It is the fastest

we've ever run from lane one and I've never seen another team in the

world go so fast from lame one but we can take positive that hopefully

get an outside lane in the final and it has been solid from lane one so

we couldn't really do more. We all ran great Lakes and we were proud of

getting the job done from such a tight lane. The danger is that as a

fastest loser qualify you could be in lane one or two again. You have

to deal with it, went you, Harry? Obviously this is a competition to

come here expecting anything. We came in as the world lead and we got

the lane one so we had to go and run and we gave our all. You have to be

competitive and I feel like we were and we put in a lot of hard work and

it is just about moving forward now because we are in the final. James,

you see teams like China and Japan setting Asian records or national

records. 38 is the fastest time ever from lane one so it is a bit

annoying because the Brits seem to be getting lane one lately, I don't

fit is a bit of a conspiracy going on! We done well and we're just

praying for the final that they give us a decent name because we want to

be competitive. CJ commie had to bring the team home, did you realise

the position you are in, chasing down? I realised but I had to just

bring it home safely and qualify and the lads did a good job. It would be

such a shame to not come away with a medal. Yes, we have an amazing squad

out there with at great guys out there. We're not a team anymore, we

are family and we will fight like a family in this final and we know no

matter who comes in goes out, you are going to have faith in them and

we are going to deliver our best performance. We will be back.

We will go now to Steve Cram in the Olympic Stadium who watched all of

those relays and they haven't got the luck of the draw, the British

men, they are the luck of the draw, the British

men, they are straight back in lane one for the final.

That's what happens when you're a fastest loser. I was surprised that

Richard Kilty didn't know about that. The outer lanes are for those

who either win or have the faster times so the two fastest loser spots

are drawn in one or two so they are unlucky to be back in one and two

would have been a bit better so it will be tough. Given how quickly

Japan one -- Rand, a new national record, even faster than the British

record, including Usain Bolt and the American team that will be very

tough to medal from lane one. The British women don't have a very good

level -- medal chance. I think so. In contrast to the men, Adam Gemili

could run because he is in the final tonight but it is the four we expect

to be in the final and they looked good and confident and they'd save

changes so there is a fair bit to come from the women. They are still

the third fastest qualifiers. It is quite bizarre because the American

team, having done that solo run, they only go through as a fastest

loser so they go into lane one or two. I think the draw is still being

made. The Americans have a bit of a disadvantage there but they won in

2012 and they ran in a world record. They are not the same team but they

will be tough. Jamaica will be tough but we have a real opportunity and

the women are better than the men, you are right. I was going to ask

you if it is harder or easier to run a relay on your own with nobody in

any other lanes and they proved it was probably easier because they set

a fastest time. What did you make of everything that happened? It is

bizarre, I've seen this once or twice before when athletes have been

impeded in lane events may have to come back in a half empty stadium,

least there were more than a few people and a good atmosphere for

them. The danger for them was not concentrating hard enough. If you

are on your own and it becomes like a time tale -- time trial, that is

it. Athletes used to do that but in a relay that I'll four of you and

you have to get the dynamic camera changes right so it was tough for

them. It looked easy, didn't it? It looked like they could turn up and

do it but I think it would've been tough for them and in commentary we

said there was a huge sigh of relief for them. China are out and they

counted the protest that the Americans had made to give them a

chance to do that but they are out of the final and America are in. Can

you see anyone beating Usain Bolt tonight? No, I can't. It depends how

fast he will go but no. I ask for a quick answer! Usain Bolt and Adam

Gemili are in the 200 metres final at about 2:30am. We have any chance

in the hurdles and we will join the athletics team at about 12:30am on

BBC One. Next we will concentrate on Jade Jones who won Olympic gold in

London as a teenager in the taekwondo 57 kilograms category. We

will see how she gets on today. She will begin the defence of that title

after we tell you have a fascinating sport works.

Taekwondo originated in Korea and combines combat in self defence

tactics. Each round is three minutes and the competitor can win on points

or if the component is unable to continue. Points are available for

accurate and powerful blows to the head and body. Attacks to the body

can be made using a fist or a foot at an athlete can only use their

feet to strike the area above the collar bone. Punches do the head and

attacks to the spine are not allowed. The only techniques

permitted or kicks where the athlete uses the area of the foot below the

athlete and punches where the athlete uses the knuckle part of a

tightly clenched fit. Scoring differs on where or how an athlete

is attacked. One point is an attack to the body protector but if the

attackers are turning or reverse kick it is worth three points. An

athlete will receive three points for illegal kick to the head. If it

is a turning gate, it achieves the maximum, four points. At the end of

four rounds the competitor with the most points wins the match but in

the event of a tie a golden time is held where the first athlete to

score a point wins the contest. Jade Jones Heurtaux last 16 Baltops

first and she eased past the African champion -- African championship

silver medallist. Jade Jones then went on to face an

Iranian teenager in the quarters. She is now representing Belgium

where she works as a postwoman and she was outclassed by Jones, where

she won 7-2. In the semifinals the Welsh final had -- the Welsh fighter

had to face the fourth seed. Gold and silver on the horizon here

at the Carioca Arena. It is a very big occasion and six minutes to

decide it. Nikita Glasnovic comes forward with a push kick and Jade

Jones is very aggressive. A great push kick in response, absolutely.

She came forward straightaway. Both of them coming forward.

Jones avoids it there. She tries to fit one out of her own there. It is

a battle for territory, looking for the space. They kick their from

Jones on the way through. No purchase on it though. The

21-year-old, Nikita Glasnovic, slightly the taller of the two. The

strength advantage for Jones. She tries to flick one upstairs.

If you can spin, you get extra points. It has been an excellent

opening first minute. They have just been feeling each other out, but

good defence as well as attack from both.

The Great Britain contingent in the crowd are trying to cheer forward

Jade Jones. Taekwondo is all about optimal distance. Everyone's legs

are different length, everyone likes to fight at a different range, but

when you find a space, you have got to go for it. The Swede has 20

seconds left. She will have to think about her tactics. Shut up shop, or

go for it. Jones getting closer to the head. Glasgow Vic -- Glasnovic

will be glad to hear the buzzer. A great start for Jade Jones. Both

fighters' last-minute bits of rest. There is a Welsh contingent in the

crowd. Paul Greene, the coach. Himself an Olympian back in Athens,

but this is the Rio Olympic Games. Good defence from Jones. That push

kick is so effective from Jade Jones. Glasnovic is doing well,

resolute and hanging on. It is a 2-point game. It changes so quickly.

That is a crumb of comfort for Jones. Great combinations as well.

Well blocked by Glasnovic. The Swede is two points down. Glasnovic did

bring a gift across. That is a gift of a point. That is one of the

biggest things, she is so focused. Excellent response with the headshot

from Glasnovic. The Swede flicked one of the stairs, found an open

door and found the face of the Flint fighter.

She committed, but found herself open for that. Credit to the Swede

on that one. It was a one point game at the end of the first round. Jade

Jones, Olympic champion back in London, a final at stake here.

Neil Adams, Olympian yourself, silver medallist yourself, you know

what this feeling is like, trying to get into the final. Absolutely. It

is one of the hardest things in the world. You know you have everything

resting on this now. I don't know what the coach will be saying to

her, but we have seen so many that have been lost in the last two

minutes. So she has to keep focused. Keep her head in the game. Glasnovic

has been focused, the Swede. And of course, the 21-year-old has

excellent pedigree coming into this, Nikita Glasnovic.

That was an excellent push kick from Jade Jones, a good start.

Great Britain's Jones beginning to get a bit of dominance. It is not

just accurate as well, it has power, that front kick. Fantastic start

from Jones. She scores again. If look at this, really going to work.

She turns defence into attack. Jade Jones had a look in her corner,

looking for a potential headshot, but her coach thought better of it.

Nikita Glasnovic, from Sweden. Can she summon up the flexibility's does

she have the variety? Jade Jones, excellent strength, keeping the

Swede at bay. That is what she has to think about now, defence, rather

than going forward. When she got scored on with the head, she was

going forwards. Glasnovic tries the back like turning kick, well

defended by Jones. A wonderful shot of the arena here. High drama in

downtown Rio, Gold medals at stake. She just needs to stand her ground.

She has got good defence. Just use it now. A good punch from Glasnovic,

who looks exhausted. Jade Jones defending resolutely, a formidable

force, the fighter from Flint. It is all about timing, just using that

push kick to keep her away. Nikita Glasnovic on the attack,

trying to go forward. Jade Jones, using her footwork. Jones avoids the

headshot. She knows she has one foot in the Olympic final, one foot on

the edge of the ring. The crowd are up for this one. The referee almost

takes one to the head from Glasnovic. Good defence from Jade

Jones. Can she defend her title? She is in the final, her second

consecutive Olympic final. The British in the crowd go mad. They

love it. Great support up there. That was amazing. Jade Jones, going

for her second Olympic title. A very successful day for Jade

Jones. Let's go over to the Olympic Park and the taekwondo arena and

talk to Nick Hope, who has been inside for the whole time today.

Before we get to the final, how has Jade looked? I know her coach said

to you earlier that this is a very different Olympics for her because

she is there to be shot at, where she was an unknown four years ago.

Absolutely, she has gone from being the hunter to the hunted. Everybody

stepped up their game when they take on Jade Jones. Everybody has

analysed her style and tried to figure out why she was winning in

London 2012. Since then, she has had to adapt her style, technique and

tactics to combat the extra energy that everybody gives when they take

her on. It took her a while to get used to being the Olympic champion.

When she went into the World Championships in 2013, her first big

event after the London Olympics, she struggled. She didn't win a medal

and that knocks her confidence. It is only since she won gold in the

European games and then the European Championships earlier this year that

we have started to see the real Jade Jones that we saw from four years

ago. Today, she has not been fazed by any of her three fights. She was

incredibly impressive against Nikita Glasnovic in the previous round and

she will take a lot of confidence going into today's final. How tough

an opponent is she coming up against? This is the fight everybody

wanted, the world number one in Jade Jones against the world number two

in Eva Calvo Gomez. This is the most exciting fight in the women's under

50 kilograms division. Eva Calvo Gomez has been unbeatable for two

years heading into this season. She leads 5-3 in the head to head

against Jade Jones, but Jade has come out on top in the last two

including the last one, which was a 14-4 victory. It took her a while to

figure out how to beat Eva Calvo Gomez, who is taller and has longer

legs. But the momentum is with Jade and she will take that into the

final and hopefully have a psychological edge over her as well,

given the recent results. Jade Jones goes at two o'clock, followed by

Bolt versus Gemili in the men's 200 metres final at 2.30. An Eilidh

Doyle goes in the 400 metre hurdles this evening. We move on to

badminton now. The last time Britain won a medal in badminton was in 2004

with Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms taking a silver in Athens. There was

a bronze on offer today for the men's doubles pair of Chris

Langridge and Marcus Ellis. This is how they got on. Your commentators

are Joe Clarke and Peter Blackburn. -- Joe Clarke.

COMMENTATOR: It has been a tight opening game.

That is what they do so well when they get on the attack, the Chinese

pair. What was that, you have to speed up

the bit in between rallies? Not terribly sure.

Unbelievable defence from Chai. But the attacking play and the finish

off from the front was once again lethal from Langridge.

All-out attack pays dividends for the British pair. Three-game point

opportunities in this bronze medal match.

Well, how good was that. A net cord on the return of serve, when you are

again point down. Game point down. So, one of the three game point has

come and gone. So, a second game point opportunity

for the British pair. It has gone long. Opening game to

Langridge and LS. History in the making, perhaps. This is where the

nerves of the Chinese will get tested.

What a crucial crucial point coming up right now.

A net cord on return of serve, making it awfully difficult to lift

to the back of the court. Two game point opportunities. They were

lining up for that. Is there a challenge here? There is

a challenge here. That is ridiculous. I can't believe that. I

suppose they just used it as a tactical time-out.

Well, the previous rally was a net cord on return of serve. I can

assure you that the players do practice to be able to get these

next chords, this isn't just luck, that is what they aim to try and

achieve. With post net play and returns of serve.

So, one game point has been saved by the British pair. Another game point

remains. That is what Chai Biao and Hong Wei.

And they convert on their second opportunity. Chai Biao and a Hong

Wei take the second game. What a good match this has been so far. I

think the enormity of what could be achieved has perhaps hit the British

pair. Suddenly looking nervous, looking tentative.

That will help settle the nerves. Three points away from a bronze

medal at the Olympic Games. Oh, that is an unbelievable smash.

Ten opportunities to secure the bronze medal.

There is a challenge. Call out. It was called out, the British pair

have challenged. They are asking for the instant review. If the line call

is overturned, the bronze medal goes to the British pair. It is in. A

bronze medal for the British pair. A first ever medal in men's doubles

for British players. Marcus Ellis, overcome with emotion. They were

quite simply superb today. Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis, a pair

currently ranked outside the top 20 in the world have beaten a pair that

has been as high as three in the world ranking. My goodness, didn't

they deserve it? Britain 's first-ever badminton

medal in the men's doubles on the first badminton medal for Great

Britain in 12 years, what does it mean? I just can't believe it, I

don't believe it's happened yet. When we saw that review on the final

point, I can't describe my feelings. I am just completely lost for words.

Give us some words, Chris. It is mental. Like... Like, it is...

Literally I can't see anything because it is just the most

incredible feeling. We have worked so hard and to achieve this is

like... I literally can't say anything, I literally can't say

anything, I'm just so, so happy. It's a brilliant bronze medal and

all fabulous victory over badminton tightens China who are ranked five

in the world and you are number 22 and you have beaten the third seeds

on this journey and they can rip up the ranking lists now! I think at

the Olympics you can territory right away because not many top seeds with

a win because of the way of the Olympic Sears and to come here and

perform the way we did on our very first match we knew we could compete

with anyone and we had a very tough semifinal and I think they were

better than us the other day but going into today we had never played

them before and it was a fresh game and we knew we had a chance if we

played well and today we are so happy that we have managed to do it

for ourselves and for badminton, which is massive for our sport and I

am so proud to which is massive for our sport and I

am so proud to be a part of it. As they said, that is such a huge

medal for the sport of badminton, which is crying out for more

attention and it is a huge medal for the duo themselves could, who, as

you heard, are ranked number 22 in the world. We will now go to boxing,

and there are only two Britons left standing in these Olympics, and one

of them is Nicola Adams. She was fighting in her flyweight semifinal

today and taking on Ren Cancan, the woman she beat in the final in 2012.

The 51 kilograms semifinal, who will go through to the gold-medal bout?

We are under way. Semifinal action in the women's 51 kilograms

flyweight division, between two rivals who know one another very

well indeed. The box are wearing red, the reigning Olympic champion,

Nicola Adams, the British boxer. The Chinese boxer, wearing blue,

operating out of southpaw stance is Ren Cancan. So much history between

these two, they have met five times before and Nicola Adams is trailing

in that rivalry. 2-3 against the former three-time World Championship

world medallist. She took those titles in 2008, 2010 and 2012 and on

two of those occasions she reduced Nicola Adams to silver medal status

in the World Championships. Nicola Adams got it right on the grandest

stage of all at the Olympic Games. It is a good left hand from Ren

Cancan. It is important for Adams to lead off with a right hand and hit

the target. If she misses the target with a right Angie Paul Flynn and

that is a bad position to be against a good southpaw like Ren Cancan. She

can't neglect her jab. She started the contest well with a couple of

good jabs and she has to measure that shot before she throws the

right hand. That is what she has to do here. Nicola Adams is the

reigning World Championship gold medallist and that right-hand wasn't

too far away and that second one got through. A nice left uppercut from

Ren Cancan and using good footwork to get back to the space of the

ring. Timing and accuracy are paramount here for Nicola Adams.

What she is doing is sitting back and waiting for her which is not a

bad thing to do against a southpaw. Then she comes back with a right

hand. She needs to work more with the jab.

So, plenty of fainting and sabre rattling with those lead hands in

the closing ten seconds or so. A very good round of boxing from both

individuals and they both enjoyed success. Not a lot in it at all, is

there, in the first round. Another physical chess match here. Each

boxer doesn't want to make a mistake. Make a mistake at this

level and your opponent will punish you, they know that. That is a nice

attack from Ren Cancan but Nicola Adams gets through with the right

hand and it is a All judges have favoured Ren Cancan,

the reigning Olympic silver medallist, takes the opening lead.

So we're into the second round now. Women's scheduled for four 2 minutes

rounds. Nicola Adams comes out in an aggressive mood and pecking away

with that straight left hand but a good left that good through to the

body from Ren. Better start from Adams, we spoke about it earlier in

the first round. She just neglected it a little bit. She has to settle

that backhand with the lead hand first. The left hand has to go in

before the right. She can't afford to fall short. She's got to get her

feet into position. Ren effectively boxing on her left foot. Ritchie

drew the analogy of physical chess, because Nicola Adams used the sport

the same way - drawing on skills and
