:00:45. > :01:44.Good afternoon. The Brownlee boys are back in town today. We will see
:01:45. > :01:50.the triathlon getting underway. The Brownlee boys, they swam, cycled and
:01:51. > :01:55.run by way to the Olympic podium four years ago, and they could do
:01:56. > :02:01.the same within the next few hours. Not only will we have some wonderful
:02:02. > :02:06.racing, but some fabulous views of Copacabana Beach. And in this area,
:02:07. > :02:12.all thrown in for free. Will be fantastic this afternoon. Alistair
:02:13. > :02:23.Brownlee is one of 21 returning British athletes. 12 of the 18 have
:02:24. > :02:28.already retained their Olympic titles and that is extraordinary. Of
:02:29. > :02:33.the other six, three of those have made it to the podium. We will see
:02:34. > :02:46.the remaining defending her gaze he rose today. She helped put tae kwon
:02:47. > :02:52.do and her home town, Flint on the map when Jade Jones won the gold.
:02:53. > :02:56.She is back. I wouldn't mess with her either. It is an old Yorkshire
:02:57. > :03:02.line-up with the brothers, supported by Gordon Benson. It is a good bet
:03:03. > :03:12.there will be a Brownlee Brothers in the shake-up. Another defending
:03:13. > :03:19.Olympic champion, Nicola Adams. She is guaranteed bronze, but that is
:03:20. > :03:27.not what she here for. And Heath and Schofield would love to upgrade
:03:28. > :03:32.their bronze in the canoeing. They are in the 200 metres final this
:03:33. > :03:40.morning. And John and Liam, they were the fastest in their qualifying
:03:41. > :03:45.heat. Not long to wait. We are going to live. If Jade Jones is going to
:03:46. > :03:54.defend her title, she has poor fights throughout the day, the first
:03:55. > :04:05.at 2:30pm coming at about 2am in your morning. Nicola Adams taking on
:04:06. > :04:08.the Chinese fighter. There is a lot to get through today. Not just in
:04:09. > :04:13.this programme but through the day until you are crawling into your bed
:04:14. > :04:21.at three a.m., having promised yourself to try and have an early
:04:22. > :04:29.night. No chance. The climax of the decathlon, part two of Usain Bolt's
:04:30. > :04:35.possible trouble. Add to the mix, the women's 400 metres hurdles. We
:04:36. > :04:42.will be cheering on a leader oil. The men's Beach Volleyball Arena
:04:43. > :04:47.business start local time here until midnight in Brazil. It is 4am in
:04:48. > :04:51.your morning. Given our hotel is a few streets away from the venue, the
:04:52. > :04:56.noise carries all the way from the stadium to the Hotel. We will not be
:04:57. > :05:01.getting much sleep either. Welcome to the zombie Olympics. It is always
:05:02. > :05:06.an interesting transition in the middle of the second week because we
:05:07. > :05:11.have had the swimming, the end of the cycling and so many more events
:05:12. > :05:16.to take place. We said goodbye to the sailing but we say hello to some
:05:17. > :05:22.fascinating new sports. We have tae kwon do, triathlon, modern
:05:23. > :05:28.pentathlon, and a two of the BMX. If you were one of those who stayed up
:05:29. > :05:33.last night and let's be honest, most of Brazil bid to watch the women's
:05:34. > :05:38.beach volleyball final, their hopes were pinned on Agatha and Barbara,
:05:39. > :05:40.those were the great golden hopes last night and they were taking on
:05:41. > :05:48.the massive Beach Volleyball Arena Germany. They have never had a sniff
:05:49. > :05:54.in the medal in the women's event, but they got a sniff last night. It
:05:55. > :05:55.was Charlie Broome and his mates who went down to the party to take a
:05:56. > :06:12.look at it all. They have waited a long time for a
:06:13. > :06:16.Beach Volleyball Arena. It comes down to this. Who will be the
:06:17. > :06:28.champions of the Beach Volleyball Arena. Great work on both sides of
:06:29. > :06:32.the net, staying calm and patient. That is an important spike.
:06:33. > :06:41.Walkenhorst pounces, to bring up a three set points. They take the
:06:42. > :06:47.first set. Walkenhorst, bounced up again to make another block. That is
:06:48. > :06:53.six in a match. Another excellent rally and another point to Germany.
:06:54. > :06:59.Right now, they are looking pretty unstoppable. You have to got to keep
:07:00. > :07:10.believing in Brazil. Yes, good work. They are back to within three. You
:07:11. > :07:16.are kidding me! They kept it alive, but they couldn't and it is seven
:07:17. > :07:26.gold medal points for Germany. They will have to wait a little longer.
:07:27. > :07:35.It is all over! Germany are the Olympic champions. They have taken
:07:36. > :07:42.the gold medal match by 2-0 sets. 21 bash 18, 21 Bash 14.
:07:43. > :07:49.There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth in Brazil after that. But
:07:50. > :07:55.their play, they played well and be joint the German pair in the men's
:07:56. > :08:07.Abba Horse Guards Parade. It is all about Bruno and Alison in the men's.
:08:08. > :08:12.Britain's women in hockey have 12 medal since 1992. Both bronze and
:08:13. > :08:16.they have never managed to get to an Olympic final. That was the quest
:08:17. > :08:21.when they took on New Zealand last night. This was a British quad that
:08:22. > :08:33.have played beautifully. Unbeaten in six matches going into this one.
:08:34. > :08:44.Backhand goal from Alex Danson, an absolute beauty. Great Britain have
:08:45. > :08:52.got their Olympic tournament off to the dream start. Bundle through into
:08:53. > :08:59.the goal by Alex Danson. That will be that. This tournament really
:09:00. > :09:06.starting to hot up. Great Britain have won it. There remain unbeaten
:09:07. > :09:12.in the Olympic tournament so far. Great Britain versus Japan. The
:09:13. > :09:16.score, finished off beautifully from height by Nichola White. Great
:09:17. > :09:20.Britain have notched another win. Whoever wins this goes into the
:09:21. > :09:28.quarterfinals having one pool B. It is a goal for Alex Danson. Maximum
:09:29. > :09:32.points, five wins out of five, Great Britain at the moment, the top team
:09:33. > :09:40.in the Olympic tournament. Radcliffe, scores! Great Britain are
:09:41. > :09:48.in front. It is an easy finish. What an easy finish. They are heading for
:09:49. > :09:58.the Olympic semifinal. Next stop, the Black sticks, New Zealand.
:09:59. > :10:09.Claims she was obstructed and she was. Penalty corner giving. Using
:10:10. > :10:23.her pace really well. Is an absolute nightmare. As you can see, blatantly
:10:24. > :10:29.blocked. Puts the shoulder across the body. Georgie Twigg preparing to
:10:30. > :10:38.inject. Nichola White could potentially get involved. Let's see
:10:39. > :10:44.if Crista Cullen can put Great Britain on the scoresheet. Alex
:10:45. > :10:50.Danson gets the first goal of the match for Great Britain. So often
:10:51. > :10:55.you see it on penalty corner rebound. It is anticipate the
:10:56. > :11:02.rebound off the goalkeeper. Sally Rutherford does well to make the
:11:03. > :11:12.initial save, but Alex Danson, quickest to it and flicks the ball
:11:13. > :11:18.over Rutherford's kicker. Alex Danson will be credited with the
:11:19. > :11:27.goal. It will be her fourth of The Games. Alex Danson is Great
:11:28. > :11:34.Britain's top scorer. New Zealand, restarting from outside their
:11:35. > :11:38.circle. Good tackle from Townsend. Townsend takes it up towards the New
:11:39. > :11:41.Zealand circle. Townsend, looking for the backhand cross. Runs out of
:11:42. > :12:13.turn. has got Georgie Twigg in the face.
:12:14. > :12:18.She is back on her feet and is helped away from the field of play
:12:19. > :12:24.to warm applause from both sets of supporters. Has been a hugely
:12:25. > :12:30.physical encounter, but you don't want to see any injuries, especially
:12:31. > :12:44.at this stage of The Games. Alex Danson! Has found Helen Richardson
:12:45. > :12:51.Walsh. Can she score? Penalty. Helen Richardson Walsh upended by the
:12:52. > :13:02.goalkeeper, Rutherford. Great Britain are 1-0 up. Helen Richardson
:13:03. > :13:10.Walsh will take the penalty stroke. And scores! She has picked up a
:13:11. > :13:16.knock, Helen Richardson Walsh, who limped away after the penalty.
:13:17. > :13:20.Surrounded by her team-mates. She will have to go off the field of
:13:21. > :13:31.play, another injury, another worrying casualty. But, they lead
:13:32. > :13:37.New Zealand, 2-0. This is promising. Lily Owsley's turn. Penalty again.
:13:38. > :13:45.Lily Owsley, absolutely flattened. She is in a bit of trouble as well.
:13:46. > :13:54.She has got it! Alex Danson scores has second. Great Britain lead New
:13:55. > :14:05.Zealand 3-0, with under nine minutes left to play. The last ten seconds
:14:06. > :14:12.of this match and Great Britain are guaranteed at least the silver
:14:13. > :14:17.medal. We hope, the gold. They will do battle with the Dutch on Friday.
:14:18. > :14:22.There is the final hooter! Great Britain are in the Olympic final. A
:14:23. > :14:28.fantastic performance. What a tournament they've had. Yet to lose
:14:29. > :14:35.and match and they have won the most important one so far, comfortably.
:14:36. > :14:41.It was a fantastic piece of play by Lily down the side. Very fast, very
:14:42. > :14:46.quick. It was a case of doing my job, keep cool and when it did go
:14:47. > :14:50.in, I was delighted. You are one of the senior players, been through so
:14:51. > :14:54.much and it has been such an up-and-down journey, but it is
:14:55. > :15:01.firmly on the up? What this team has over the years, is belief. We
:15:02. > :15:06.believe we have to come out here and deliver. We have one game at the
:15:07. > :15:09.time and just one more to play. I spoke to Simon a few minutes ago,
:15:10. > :15:14.talking about the significance of this for the sport, for what you
:15:15. > :15:16.girls have done, the women have done for the sporting Great Britain. Can
:15:17. > :15:25.you sum that up? I hope what everybody sees is the
:15:26. > :15:32.tightest group of women out there. We have all had belief in this, we
:15:33. > :15:36.believe in our programme, we work hard, the spirit, the players, the
:15:37. > :15:46.team, that has got us to this point and hopefully it will get as one
:15:47. > :15:52.more. I remember in 1988 when the men's team won that and what a huge
:15:53. > :15:56.impact that had on the men's hockey. The girls are up against the Dutch
:15:57. > :16:00.at nine o'clock tomorrow evening and the Dutch are the number one side
:16:01. > :16:05.and they are going for a third Olympic title in a row. It will be a
:16:06. > :16:09.cracking match and it will be like nine o'clock tomorrow your time. We
:16:10. > :16:15.are building up to the start of the men's triathlon. It is taking place
:16:16. > :16:20.along the beach from here and we have got Jonny Brownlee and Alistair
:16:21. > :16:25.Brownlee, the brothers who took podium places, gold and bronze, four
:16:26. > :16:31.years ago. They are sibling rivals today as they always have been
:16:32. > :16:37.growing up. We are a pair, we both know we would not be where we are
:16:38. > :16:41.today without each other. We are not just talking about brothers, we are
:16:42. > :16:47.talking about the best triathletes in the sport. The first time I met
:16:48. > :16:51.Alistair Brownlee, this gentleman came walking across the track with
:16:52. > :16:56.these two brothers and he pointed to the tallest and he said, this is
:16:57. > :16:59.Alistair, he is good at cross country running, but he wants some
:17:00. > :17:09.speed and I was wondering if anyone here could help him out? And then
:17:10. > :17:15.there was Johnny and he said, forget him, he was a footballer. I dream of
:17:16. > :17:20.playing for Leeds United and I enjoyed playing rugby and I enjoyed
:17:21. > :17:24.other sports, but triathlon had that extra element that added a bit more
:17:25. > :17:30.interest and for a nine-year-old it made it a bit more exciting. What
:17:31. > :17:36.were they like at those ages? Getting Johnny inside, I would be
:17:37. > :17:44.banging on the window. He would be standing at the window going, no,
:17:45. > :17:50.not yet. I would be like, now! Alistair said, in ten years I want
:17:51. > :17:54.to be at the Olympics. He said, I need to get out feeling fresh and I
:17:55. > :18:00.need a training programme. I know what I want in ten years, so I want
:18:01. > :18:07.to do it now, so I am ahead. It clicked really quickly. In my first
:18:08. > :18:12.championships as a junior in 2005 I thought it was not that great, but I
:18:13. > :18:16.had one of the quickest runs. I went away from that and thought I can be
:18:17. > :18:22.a lot better next year. I am going to go away and be better. The word
:18:23. > :18:27.determination is synonymous with Alistair, he is a racing machine. He
:18:28. > :18:35.not only ran for the school, but he was in the Harriers at the same
:18:36. > :18:41.time. I would not say it is a myth, but it is the tough Yorkshire man,
:18:42. > :18:46.it is there with them. I love this, I thrive off pushing myself, not
:18:47. > :18:51.only in a competitive situation, but just on my own, being able to push
:18:52. > :18:56.myself and hurt. I have got no idea where that has come from. It is
:18:57. > :19:01.years and years of doing it and enjoying doing it, but my dad will
:19:02. > :19:04.tell you even the first time he saw me doing cross-country as a
:19:05. > :19:12.six-year-old I won't read in the face and looked like I was about to
:19:13. > :19:19.die. When he came back to compete in the national championships I
:19:20. > :19:24.thought, I can do that as well. I am probably the personality who is
:19:25. > :19:29.going to go out and do it with somebody showing me the way before
:19:30. > :19:33.and Alistair did that. It is good having somebody with a strong
:19:34. > :19:36.personality because when you do something, you have to believe in it
:19:37. > :19:42.and I think that is important for the sport. Three o'clock is when
:19:43. > :19:47.they will be on the start line with Gordon Benson, a fellow Yorkshire
:19:48. > :19:51.man. He is no mean athlete himself, although he is being employed more
:19:52. > :19:57.on domestic role to help the brothers get back on the podium
:19:58. > :20:01.today. It will be worth watching. But also worth watching is the
:20:02. > :20:06.Sprint canoeing, a frenzy of power and athleticism. Rishi Persad
:20:07. > :20:13.exemplifies all of those qualities. How are you? Really well. It has
:20:14. > :20:18.turned out to be a lovely morning. When I see all the canoeists
:20:19. > :20:22.drifting past, I shiver at the size of their muscles compared to my
:20:23. > :20:29.little arms. I was not casting aspersions. It is a fantastic site
:20:30. > :20:34.this sport, particularly in the shorter distances. There is a real
:20:35. > :20:37.with them in the kayak events and in the canoeing events with the single
:20:38. > :20:44.bladed paddle. It is mesmerising to watch. It is, the strength and power
:20:45. > :20:48.these athletes show is quite incredible. People talk about the
:20:49. > :20:52.build-up of lactic acid and how tired they get. I can only imagine
:20:53. > :20:57.what it is like for these athletes. 200 metres and they have to use so
:20:58. > :21:01.much strength and power. There is another distance of 1000 metres and
:21:02. > :21:10.a final took place earlier today with Germany winning the gold
:21:11. > :21:12.indicate two. But it has been wonderful watching these athletes
:21:13. > :21:19.and hopefully the British athletes later on can give us some success,
:21:20. > :21:24.Lee Heath and Hugh Schofield. That is coming up in the kayak double.
:21:25. > :21:27.They were on the podium in London with a bronze, fastest qualifying
:21:28. > :21:32.through the semifinals to get in there and that will give them a huge
:21:33. > :21:36.amount of optimism. Yes, and I spoke to them yesterday after the
:21:37. > :21:41.semifinal and they are so focused on the final that they saved a little
:21:42. > :21:45.bit in the semifinal. They said they were not hard-pressed to win the
:21:46. > :21:52.semifinal, which bodes well for today. Liam celebrated his 22nd
:21:53. > :21:56.birthday yesterday and when I mentioned it, he had completely
:21:57. > :22:02.forgotten it was his birthday, that is how focused they are. There is a
:22:03. > :22:08.huge moment for Brazil and it is a gentleman who has become a hero. He
:22:09. > :22:14.has got a silver medal from the 1000 metres in the canoe event and there
:22:15. > :22:20.is quite a story here. He is missing a kidney and that is his nickname in
:22:21. > :22:25.Portuguese. At the age of ten he fell out of a tree and had to have a
:22:26. > :22:30.kidney removed. He was looking at a snake in the tree, dicing with
:22:31. > :22:36.danger, and he fell from the tree. The doctors had poor diagnosis about
:22:37. > :22:41.his ability to compete in sport. But he has defied them. But at the age
:22:42. > :22:45.of three he had a pot of boiling water fall on his head. The
:22:46. > :22:53.prognosis for him then was not very good. Doctors told his mother to
:22:54. > :22:57.prepare for the worst. At the age of five he was kidnapped, but got away
:22:58. > :23:01.from that unharmed. Here he is, aged 22, he won the first ever canoeing
:23:02. > :23:09.medal for Brazil when he won silver on Tuesday. He is lining up in the
:23:10. > :23:15.final of the men's canoe single, 200 metres, we hope he does OK. Helen
:23:16. > :23:22.Reeves and Patrick Winterton are in our commentary box.
:23:23. > :23:30.All eyes are on lane five, will Brazil get better than the silver
:23:31. > :23:39.they got in the 1000 metres? It is the same man, he is looking for the
:23:40. > :23:41.gold medal. This is all about being able to hang on in the last 50
:23:42. > :24:00.metres. Dos Santos is trailing badly. He won
:24:01. > :24:10.to pick it up quite fast. He is giving away an awful lot. Lane eight
:24:11. > :24:16.is looking good at the moment. The Azerbaijan athlete is coming strong.
:24:17. > :24:28.Dos Santos is not getting into this one. He retains the title he won in
:24:29. > :24:32.2012. The capsize does not matter. He is not the only one to find
:24:33. > :24:39.himself in the drink at the end of the run. He was beaten in the
:24:40. > :24:44.semifinals and there was a change late last night in the start orders
:24:45. > :24:48.when they re-read the rules. He got a reprieve and into the Olympic
:24:49. > :25:01.final and he produces the best time ever. That is an Olympic best time.
:25:02. > :25:07.He is now the double Olympic champion in the 200. Who saw that
:25:08. > :25:12.coming? He really got out of the start very well and he was the man
:25:13. > :25:17.to beat. The men in the middle could not quite see where he was because
:25:18. > :25:25.he was in lane eight. That goodness somebody read those rules and got
:25:26. > :25:33.him that place in the final. Well, that crowd had just risen because
:25:34. > :25:38.Dos Santos has been put into the bronze medal position. They had a
:25:39. > :25:45.long debate over the photo finish. He has got himself a silver and a
:25:46. > :25:52.bronze from his home games. What a moment for Dos Santos. He took the
:25:53. > :25:56.silver medal in the 1000 and he got the bronze in the championships over
:25:57. > :26:03.200 metres, so he was always in the running for a medal. I think he was
:26:04. > :26:09.the slowest out of the blocks, so unbelievable to come back in the
:26:10. > :26:13.last 50. Absolutely. In the thousand metres he was the one who took it
:26:14. > :26:18.out hard, but here he dropped back and was a bit slow out of the gates.
:26:19. > :26:27.Look where he is at this stage, quite far down in lane five. He had
:26:28. > :26:32.a lot to do. But he kept it going. He has got quite a long stroke. It
:26:33. > :26:40.was hard to see him coming. Good lunch. It was between him and Lopez
:26:41. > :26:44.from Spain. He has been practising this lunch all week long, every
:26:45. > :26:50.single heat, even when he did not need it. We thought it was a bit of
:26:51. > :26:58.showmanship. Is that a problem hitting the market? Not at all. He
:26:59. > :27:02.absolutely smashes a panel of his boat. He thought he had not done
:27:03. > :27:08.enough. That is why there was delight when it came up on the
:27:09. > :27:11.board. He had not done enough to win the gold and I think he thought that
:27:12. > :27:28.was a possibility after the semifinals yesterday. Chaban looked
:27:29. > :27:33.so strong. This race is extremely tight. You have not got any chance
:27:34. > :27:38.to do anything but to go out hard. But when you have got people either
:27:39. > :27:44.side of you who are leading the race, it has to be a benefit and
:27:45. > :27:51.that is why the other side of the race, the Georgian, did not quite
:27:52. > :27:59.get into the competition. He won the title in London and he has won it
:28:00. > :28:02.again in Rio. But the headlines will be about Dos Santos, one kidney. I
:28:03. > :28:12.knew national hero in Brazil. He says, I joke with friends every
:28:13. > :28:19.day that they must have put a third long in me during my kidney
:28:20. > :28:20.operation back then. There was a fantastically dramatic 200 metres on
:28:21. > :28:36.the track last night for the women. Thomson going well around the band.
:28:37. > :28:49.The yellow of Jamaica is flashing away. Thomson has got two metres the
:28:50. > :29:00.line is coming very quickly. Thomson is the double gold medallist.
:29:01. > :29:15.Elaine Thompson is the new star of world spending.
:29:16. > :29:27.Diane skippers did everything she could. It is almost as though she
:29:28. > :29:32.has just realise it. I think it was already one on the band. She blasted
:29:33. > :29:41.around the town with a lot of control. She has got a lovely rangy
:29:42. > :29:46.stride. She is easing herself away from Daphne skippers. But she knows
:29:47. > :29:51.from last year, Daphne, that if she gets close to her, she can do it.
:29:52. > :29:56.But this time around she could not quite getting there. She is
:29:57. > :29:57.straining for the line and she wants it to come because she has the
:29:58. > :30:13.memory from last year. She leans and she takes the title.
:30:14. > :30:18.That is a familiar thing now, someone ending up on the floor,
:30:19. > :30:26.diving for the line. Elaine Thomson, the Olympic gold medallist. Daphne
:30:27. > :30:33.Schippers, gets the silver medal in the Netherlands. Dina Asher-Smith,
:30:34. > :30:41.very well done, fifth place. She is with Phil. When you see the
:30:42. > :30:47.list, 200 metres, you are fifth on it. I am really happy. Especially
:30:48. > :30:52.after the shaky qualification. I was glad I could put in a performance. I
:30:53. > :30:57.still think I could have done better, but it is closer to where I
:30:58. > :31:02.want to be. I cannot be too disappointed. I tensed up a little
:31:03. > :31:05.and costly few places, it is a learning curve and hopefully I will
:31:06. > :31:12.have more World Championships and Olympic Games to learn. From last
:31:13. > :31:19.year to this, was it a big leap or not? Not really, I have had a few
:31:20. > :31:26.injury problems, so it affected my training, it was start, stop for a
:31:27. > :31:29.bit. I am happy to be here in one piece, healthy and running close to
:31:30. > :31:32.my personal best. In doing this at the age of 20, so many more years
:31:33. > :31:40.ahead of you. Going forward, what goals do you set yourself, what
:31:41. > :31:43.personal targets and be got, London's won championships for
:31:44. > :31:50.example? That will be the example. The team is buzzing. Sophie, in the
:31:51. > :31:56.hammer was incredible. I would like to see myself higher up the
:31:57. > :32:01.placings. Fifth in the world, 19 and 20, I cannot complain. Just to be an
:32:02. > :32:09.Olympic finalist and be in the mix is great. You are in a real way --
:32:10. > :32:17.relay, we wish you the best for that.
:32:18. > :32:27.It shows an awful lot of promise over the next three years. Tonight
:32:28. > :32:32.is the man's 200 metre final and it could show Usain Bolt. He had to get
:32:33. > :32:37.through the semifinals last night first.
:32:38. > :32:48.Cleanly away. Danny Talbot get a good start.
:32:49. > :33:03.Look at this, there is a surprise. 19.95 and the Frenchman gets through
:33:04. > :33:07.but the rest were a bit distant. Where did you get that from? Good
:33:08. > :33:16.performance from the Frenchman. Look what that means to him. 19.94 set
:33:17. > :33:25.down a marker. Danny Talbot did what I said he had to do and has just got
:33:26. > :33:33.third spot and a new personal best. He has got a chance. Worked hard
:33:34. > :33:36.around the turn. He wasn't intimidated by anybody in this field
:33:37. > :33:49.and that is why he produced a good performance. Bouncing down the
:33:50. > :33:50.track, full of energy. Look how Christoffel Matra is holding
:33:51. > :34:12.himself. Usain Bolt away well. Jamelia
:34:13. > :34:29.looking good at the moment. Usain Bolt moving clearly. Jamelia in a
:34:30. > :34:32.good position. Trying to hang on... 19.79 for Usain Bolt. Cook is time
:34:33. > :34:43.for him this season in the 200 metres. There was more to come. --
:34:44. > :34:52.quickest time. He feels he has had more there as well. He has been
:34:53. > :34:57.given third place so the two fastest losers go through. Adam Jamelia
:34:58. > :35:04.still in a good position with one semifinal to go. -- Adam Gemili. Out
:35:05. > :35:20.of the blocks, watching what Usain Bolt was going to do. They come to
:35:21. > :35:29.the home straight, Adam is just behind. He is easing away from Adam.
:35:30. > :35:37.Laughing and joking with Usain Bolt as he approaches the line. A new
:35:38. > :35:48.Canadian record. Johann Blake makes a cracking start in six. Is going
:35:49. > :35:58.well. All of those men, all six have a chance. Going to be Edward in the
:35:59. > :36:05.middle. Here comes Martina. Justin Gatlin is out of it, not in the
:36:06. > :36:11.final. I will say it again, Justin Gatlin is not in the final, even. He
:36:12. > :36:23.is storming off and he knows it already. Adam Gemili will make it
:36:24. > :36:33.through. Mitchell Blake, did his best. It was a tough semi. Maybe
:36:34. > :36:40.Mitchell Blake was the only one not with a chance with 50 to go. It was
:36:41. > :36:46.an exciting semifinal. This is what we like, a race with big names,
:36:47. > :36:50.competitive. People you just forget sneak through. Alonzo Edwards
:36:51. > :36:56.commonly has been an medallist in major championships before. Kept a
:36:57. > :37:05.cool head with all the big names around him. Managed to ease himself
:37:06. > :37:13.through to the final with a time of 20.0 seven. Justin Gatlin, working
:37:14. > :37:21.hard and trying to stick with him. Johann Blake, again, someone else
:37:22. > :37:25.struggling. Semifinals of the Olympic Games! Let's look at the
:37:26. > :37:39.qualifiers. Usain Bolt will have them up, as ever.
:37:40. > :37:50.Adam Gemili and rammel Bewley, the two fastest losers.
:37:51. > :38:00.Martina, his third Olympic final. Congratulations to Adam Gemili, into
:38:01. > :38:04.his first Olympic final. That final is 2:30am tomorrow morning your
:38:05. > :38:12.time. I'm sure you will be staying up late, it should be a good one. We
:38:13. > :38:15.are back into 200 metres underwater and it features Liam Heath and Jon
:38:16. > :38:21.Schofield, they took the bronze four years ago and would love to upgrade
:38:22. > :38:25.that. Very promising form to make that final. Let's reintroduce them
:38:26. > :38:34.to you now. The key is making the most of the
:38:35. > :38:39.athletes and the boat. Need to get 100% out both to have any chance.
:38:40. > :38:50.Both guys need to be in the condition of their lives. And ready
:38:51. > :38:57.to execute perfect synchronicity. The race itself is just a blur.
:38:58. > :39:04.Crossing the line, desperate to figure out where we have come. I
:39:05. > :39:12.didn't have a clue and then we were told we had got the bronze and in a
:39:13. > :39:21.fit of joy and relief, I slapped the paddles across my legs. Stepping up
:39:22. > :39:28.on the podium was incredible. It was almost dreamlike. You are on cloud
:39:29. > :39:34.nine. Liam Heath and Jon Schofield, bronze medallists. Their smiles
:39:35. > :39:38.really say it. We did really well, but this time we can be more
:39:39. > :39:47.ruthless in how we prepare and how we execute. Hopefully it will give
:39:48. > :39:52.us more of an edge. We are a lot more mature as athletes and as
:39:53. > :40:01.competitors. And we attack each race in the same style with more
:40:02. > :40:05.knowledge and experience behind it. We have been together as a crude
:40:06. > :40:11.since 2010. I don't think there are many other crews that are still
:40:12. > :40:17.together now or have sustained the same performance level throughout.
:40:18. > :40:21.We have pretty much won a medal in the 200 in every single World Cup we
:40:22. > :40:26.have been to in the last Olympic cycle, which is one of the most
:40:27. > :40:30.consistent teams out there. The consistency comes with still wanting
:40:31. > :40:35.to be in the boat together and both wanting to improve. We have done
:40:36. > :40:39.quite a lot since London and even though we are faster now than we
:40:40. > :40:44.were in 2012, it is probably even harder to win medals at the moment.
:40:45. > :40:48.You always want to do better and see how far you can push yourself as
:40:49. > :40:54.athletes. You can't do any better than an Olympic gold, can you? That
:40:55. > :40:58.is what we are looking towards. Having unfinished business from
:40:59. > :41:07.London, we are racing to win, as we always do. That final is due off at
:41:08. > :41:13.1:47pm precisely your time. We will be on BBC One to see it. This is the
:41:14. > :41:18.culmination of a fantastic sprint canoeing programme over the last few
:41:19. > :41:22.years. I know Canoe slalom and canoe Sprint is lumped together in terms
:41:23. > :41:27.of their funding be have had a positive return on the investment
:41:28. > :41:31.over the last few years? Yes, the women who have taken part so far
:41:32. > :41:38.have just been a bit below par. We are hoping Liam Heath and Jon
:41:39. > :41:43.Schofield, and also Liam Heath later on in the week. We're hoping they
:41:44. > :41:47.step up to the plate. They carry a lot of expectation after London. And
:41:48. > :41:51.we have had the gold medal success of Ed McKeever. They have given the
:41:52. > :41:56.sport a boost and we are hoping they can follow up on what they did in
:41:57. > :41:59.London. They say they have unfinished business and they
:42:00. > :42:05.narrowly missed out on the silver in London. We get the feeling, the only
:42:06. > :42:12.thing that will fulfil the appetite is the gold medal. It is not just a
:42:13. > :42:16.big day but Great Britain's paddlers, but everybody. Lisa
:42:17. > :42:21.Carrington trying to create history for the Kiwis? Yes, she is hoping to
:42:22. > :42:26.become the first New Zealand athlete to win two gold medals at the same
:42:27. > :42:32.games. She defended her title last week in the 200 metres. She has
:42:33. > :42:37.been, what most people describe as the Queen of canoe Sprint. Four-time
:42:38. > :42:40.world champion and outstanding. Even in her final, it did look for a
:42:41. > :42:47.minute she might be in trouble, she had a bit of ground to make up. But
:42:48. > :43:00.she has the extra game at separate her from the rest. But she has a bit
:43:01. > :43:07.of work to do in this 500. But the final is not far away. Let's head
:43:08. > :43:11.back to Hazel. We're looking forward to it, not just from a kiwi
:43:12. > :43:15.perspective, but a British one. We will share the action on the other
:43:16. > :43:20.side. So you know the drill, pick up the remote and head there shortly.
:43:21. > :43:25.It is not just the canoe Sprint, we have the start of the men's
:43:26. > :43:30.triathlon at three o'clock with the Brownlee Brothers hoping for another
:43:31. > :43:31.excellent performance, just as they have in London. We will see
