Day 13 Highlights Olympics

Hello and welcome to Rio Replay, highlights of the action from

yesterday at the Rio Olympic Games, this is what we have in store for

you today. We will be live to see if taekwondo

player Jade Jones can defend her 57 kilograms title, she fights at 2am

against a very tough Spanish rival. Usain Bolt, meanwhile, wants to take

his tally to eight in the 200 metres final.

Canada's Ondrej Duda grass might have something to say about that,

however. She will line up in the same

semifinal as the overwhelming And Charlie Grice takes to the track

in the 1,500m semifinals. We have got so much sport for you

this evening, but we cannot wait for the athletics, let's join the team

at the stadium. Will be all about Michael

Johnson at the front. The world record beckons

and it's gone! He takes it and Michael Johnson's

record has gone. Time certainly is a very big factor

in this sport, and I hope you're going to have a very good time

tonight, because we have a fantastic And I'm delighted that Paula

and Denise and Michael are alongside me to enjoy it,

and if you could pick one thing tonight looking forward to, Michael,

what is it going to be? I'm looking forward

to the 200m race that's for those other medals,

and it's going to be interesting. That's the problem with Bolt -

if there's a problem with him he takes attention away and sucks up

all the air in the room. But there are other guys

there who want a medal. We'll look at your analysis

in a bit of time. Denise? I think for me the other great

athlete that will be finishing tonight is Ashton Eaton in the men's

decathlon, he's one of the unsung We got a huge character like Usain,

but he's on for another Olympic medal and he has had

a gruelling two days for these guys. They had no time to stop and breathe

and take in just how It would be nice to see him get

decorated tonight. Paula? There's all the things

we have talked about. The women's 400m hurdles final,

and I think also women's 800m semifinals and men's

1,500m semifinals. I want to see our guys and girls

move through those tough semifinals. OK. Let's put that all into context

for you and show you how the evening

is shaping up. The roar you heard behind me

there were for the men in the men's shot put final being introduced

to the crowd. At 12:45 it's those semifinals that

Paula was talking about. Charlie Grice

and Chris O'Hare going in that. The women's javelin finals

going from 1:10, And the decathlon comes

to a dramatic - it always is. They do look like the wounded

warriors when they go And the women's hurdles finals

with Doyle in the line-up at 2:15. And then there's the small matter

of Usain Bolt attempting to win his However, there is also a Jade Jones

going and her fight is - her gold medal fight is at 2 o'clock

in the morning. So we will be going over

there and you will get that live here on BBC One -

have no fear. But, of course, that 200m

is the one for the evening, potentially the last time

we will see Usain Bolt running a 200m, certainly

an Olympic 200m. Through the ages there have been

some classic 200m races. Let's have a walk

back in the archives. There they go,

there's Bobby Smithers. Smith demonstrating clearly

to the world there that he is They got away have smoothly, and

look at him, Carl Lewis is away. Carl Lewis leading and being

chased by the Brazilian. Lane six is Boulton

and Fredericks but it's Johnson. They get away and left

in the blocks of USA, Bolden just in the lead

as they come into the bend. He's going to get there,

and Bolden probably third. Away they go, and Usain Bolt

already going past as if he wasn't there,

blasting around that top end, Bold, Dicks running

into second place. Trying to hang on to

the tall Jamaican. It's a clean start, Bolt is out

of the start really well. It's a three metres lead and they're

coming to the home straight. We were saying to you just

a bit earlier - I love the 200m. I think more than the 100m

because of the bend and because it's a bit longer and you get

to enjoy it a bit longer, but also it's got those gear changes

that make it a bit more - You can sit back and enjoy it a bit

longer than you can than the 100m. We're sitting here, you can.

But you can enjoy the 200m. It's a beautiful event,

like you said, coming around the bend, gives it a bit

more visual interest, and, you know, how you actually

transition from running around the bend on to the straight,

two completely different components of the race in terms

of biomechanics. Let's look at the racers,

but also at Bolt as well. because there's some news

developing in the decathlon. The penultimate event

of the decathlon is the javelin, there's Kevin Mayer of France,

having the event of his life. This is the first-round throw,

it was his best. Absolutely smashed it

across the two days. Five lifetime bests

coming into this javelin. Lifetime best is 66m,

he's just shy of that. He's going to break the French

record quite comfortably. So Ashton Eaton absolutely superb

across the two days as well. It hasn't been the runaway victory

that many talked about, but it's been convincing,

his coach there, Harry, behind. Round three was his best - big

scream from the reigning champion. And that would be enough

just to keep him in the lead, but Mayer closing down the gap, five

metres difference, the Frenchman. Five metres better than Eaton's best

in that third round. The man currently in third place

overall is Damian Warner of Canada. And his best was also

in the third round. Took him the three throws to get him

over the 60m mark. So it looks as though

the medals are maybe set Long couple of days and Warner may

have toll settle for a bronze. Just the 1500m to decide

where the medals are Once all the points were tallied,

put in the system, there you can see

the total points after nine events. Ashton Eaton, as anticipated, out

in front but only a 44-point lead over Kevin Mayer, and that equates

to about 6.5 seconds over 1500m. Ahead of

Warner, just the 1500m left. Is there any danger that Ashton

Eaton might not retain this gold? I don't think so.

I mean, if he has to run for it, he really will,

and he's capable of doing that. Let's not jinx him.

Going to be very exciting. Going to be a rate,

not a formality, though. No, gone are the days when you see

the likes of Dally Thompson This will be a proper race,

I can guarantee it. because he didn't

have much of a 1500m. I can say that,

because he's not here! Let's go back to the 200m

and have a look at Bolt. I know you've got some

analysis to look for us. For Bolt, this was interesting

in his semifinal, we didn't see the interaction with the crowd

and the jubilant nature that he normally displays,

this was yesterday morning. Bolt told us before

he's not a morning person, and I expected him to come off

a little bit more of a lead here. but not much over

Andre De Grasse there. And Adam Gemili,

he opens it up a little bit De Grasse actually pushed him

to the finish line and there was a bit of playing around

and that sort of thing going on, but this ended up actually impacting

the final that we're going to see tonight because De Grasse

ends up in lane four, with both of his main rivals

being Andre De Grasse and LaShawn Merritt

on the inside of him. But he just wasn't in a real best,

you know, mood yesterday and he said He turned down the volume

on the razzmatazz. That was interesting to see

and he commented afterwards he felt a little tired, didn't feel

the pop he normally does. But based on what we saw earlier

today on the warm-up track, Yeah, the girls might

have seen that. He was - Michael was chatting

earlier with Mark Chapman and Usain Probably some sort of

reggae getting his body You can tell us what you think,

Denise, when you see the moves He's going to need it around

those bends, isn't he. Let's move on to

LaShawn Merritt who, of course, got the bronze

in the 400m, he was disappointed with that, but he's let the world

know he's here for this 200m. I don't know how disappointed

he actually was with the 400m. He wanted to win it, after,

you know, a world record was run, he probably wasn't as disappointed

but I think he's turned his Got the fastest time in the world

this year still, and he ran very well here and using that 400m

strength that he has, he doesn't blaze around the turn

like you might see a Usain Bolt do, but he's able to run a really good

solid race from start to finish, using that strength,

he's very powerful, and very tough - He believes in himself,

he knows he can run longer than anyone else in the race

because of his 400m prowess, a 400m man, and this goes back

to high school and college. He actually ran the

200m in high school. So you know, he has that experience

and he will - he will see this as an opportunity to do something

special in the sport - We will talk more

about the 200m later. Look at the other contenders

in the field, including And Paula, there's Charlie Grice out

there for the first Lucky to be there in

many ways. Ingebrigtsen deserved

to be disqualified. He needs to run his best here today

because it is a tough semifinal. Well, he has another

role of the dice. Steve Cram and Brendan Foster

are your commentators for this one. This isn't going to be easy

for Charlie Grice Charlie in this first one

and Philip Ingebrigtsen, the younger brother

of Henrik Ingebrigtsen, in fact, all although Henrik

Ingebrigtsen is more well-known, Charlie was fading badly

and probably a bit fortunate So let's look at the shot

put, though, Steve. Early lead, the competitor from

Congo. Around the Olympic Stadium,

the big men are out and they want The shot put final

going on, of course. Lots of names you'll recognise,

Nick Willis, Ingebrigtsen, getting Seurei is in here, former Kenyan

running for Bahrain, And the champion from

2008 and the champion Add people in there

like Blankenship. They're always going to be,

the 1,500m semifinals, we saw with the women,

the standard how high it is. Makhloufi won a silver medal

in the 800m could well challenge. So Kiprop, though,

looks a little nervous. They will trust their pace

at the end. That's why they're in

the semifinal including Charlie, he's got to put what happened

in the heats to Ingebrigtsen, European champion back

in Olympic year 2012. Nick Willis, well,

he sashayed his way. And Iguider can finish

quickly as well. And this man can be very

dangerous in the rounds, he doesn't have the -

such quick times although he has run a new national record

this year of 3:33.36. But the Czech Republic competitor

can sprint as well. As ever, we'll see them sprint off

the line and then just curious as to see whether anybody really

wants to settle and make Ingebrigtsen at the back,

didn't sprint off the line. Little bit of a jog,

if you think back to the women's 1,500m final, it

became an 800m race. Grice learnt a lesson in the heats

that everybody can sprint. So sometimes - I don't think Charlie

will want to go to the front, of course he won't, but just has

to be really aware, get himself in the best position possible

when they get in the last two laps. After watching him the other day

in the first round and that - I thought he was fading

in the later stages. You got two Olympic champions,

you got two Olympic medallists. And there's only five to go

through and the first lap has been 63 seconds, so they're now

beginning to move along. I think the faster race

will suit Charlie Grice but there he is settling down,

at least they're going at a reasonable pace,

that means less problems, going to get less trouble

bumping into one another. And Kiprop at the back,

probably the favourite. He is the favourite

but Makhloufi is in there, They're all medallists in the 1,500m

in the Olympic Games. Normally they start to speed up

here because they went fast then slowed again,

this is now going to become as ever a big sprint

over the last 5 or 600m. This is the lap he needs to get

himself in a better place than that. It will be fast and fast and fast,

and he's got to make his move. Down the back straight,

Charlie Grice on the inside. who are faster than him,

surrounded by people who have run Going to have to do

an awful amount of work. Needs a bit of a break

to get lucky here. He's in a bad spot there,

but you can't panic now. Too many bodies around,

as Seurei is the first to break Charlie just dipped

back inside there. Following Nick Willis as they come

around to take the bell. They come to the bell

and here comes Asbel Kiprop, former Olympic champion

on the outside. You can see them lining

across three abreast. Right in the middle there

is Charlie Grice as they go That was faster, and now

they're really stretching. Kiprop gliding down the back

straight, Blankenship moves, Charlie Grice looking for some room

on the inside and he gets it. Can't be guaranteed

a time at this place. Charlie Grice is going

to have to dig deep. Makhloufi, Willis, Blankenship,

Iguider, Charlie Grice fifth. He may have been fortunate

to make it through. What he didn't do is,

as I said to the bell, is not panic. He realised he was in

a not good position, and when you're in that position,

you cross your fingers and you hope, two things happen

for him, he's managed to sneak

through, past at 200 to go. If that had been blocked off,

he was finished. If Blankenship had not finished

as strongly in the home straight, then Charlie would have struggled

as well to recover from. And John, his coach, they must have

been nervous the other day. They had some doubts

about him the other day. Into the Olympic final,

got to be delighted with that. His strength, is probably better

than his speed, but there they go. As Steve was saying

during commentary, he never got He's in amongst the runners

all around him, a push there which gave him a bit

of a chance, a bit of a fortunate move through on the inside and look

how far behind Kiprop is. As they stretch there now,

as Kiprop, four runners abreast at this point,

down the back straight, Blankenship on the bend,

Kiprop on his shoulder and there the Olympic champion,

Makhloufi alongside him, so there's no shortage

of talent there. Certainly isn't, but there

is a determination in Charlie Grice. Look at that one - very,

very lucky there to get He comes quickly there,

Kiprop coasting, Makhloufi coasting, here comes Willis on the outside

and Blankenship just leaning forward and Charlie Grice,

he wasn't sure about it, but he was fifth in that one,

that was in the first five But on the inside,

Charlie Grice seeing his chance, That's why he's trained

so hard - to get there. Makhloufi and Kiprop,

two Olympic champions ahead of him. Well done Charlie Grice and he's

downstairs there talking with Phil. A big well done from

Brendan and Steve. To come fifth place,

when the pace was slow, I was kind of a bit nervous,

but I knew my speed was good and I ran awful on Tuesday,

I don't know what happened. I just told myself to stay patient

and, yeah, glad I redeemed myself, I think the key there

was not to panic. I mean, it was a definitely

a fight of a finish there, but I told myself to stay

on the inside, and a few times - people were cutting in and stuff

so I was glad I stayed on my feet. Olympic finalist, can you take

it in? So, yeah, on to the

final in two days. So rest up and going

to be a cracker. Well done, Charlie, we wish you well

for the final. So by six hundredths

of a second, that's all. There you see the results -

top five only to go through and that They would have seen that,

they can go faster, Looking forward to see

what this man can do, Ryan Crouser, US champion, he's 6ft

7 and he rotates in the shot. Ryan Crouser in the second

round of the shot put, his team-mate - Kovacs -

in the lead at the That almost certainly -

well it's beyond it. Crouser - inexperienced,

no previous form to talk Just given everyone something to

talk about. Kiprop looked good in that first

heat who was the strong favourite. And they have another

contender here, Kenya. Should have had two in here,

but Elijah Motonei Manangoi is out Bronze over 800 in the world

champions, he's got A junior world record

holder with 3.28.21 That was exactly the same

mark as Mo Farah. Ryan Gregson, the Australian

champion, showed very good speed And Matthew Centrowitz Jr

world indoor champion. Fourth in the Olympic

final in London. But Chris O'Hare, he's called

himself a bit of a terrier, he'll be O'Hare five from the front

there and immediately taken out And in behind is Centrowitz

and the Spaniard as well, Bustos. Here, we talk about tactics

in the 1500, and perhaps Grice doesn't get it right,

but has great speed. He always seems to get

the tactics right. I tell you what - it means seven

of these athletes could go through, every one of these athletes has

run faster than 3.40, that's immediately a little bit

quicker than in the first round. In the middle there,

having an easy run there, having a nice position,

which seems to be less crowding there, as they go faster,

coming through there with 59.6. This is a big advantage

for this field. I think all seven of these

could come from the two fastest losers and the five

could come from this heat. A big advantage as Kwemoi

comes to the front. Manangoi has been ruled out

with a hamstring injury. You could get seven going

through from this one. The Canadian just steadying

himself with the arm. then they were in

the first semifinal. Running a good race

here, Chris O'Hare. Just on the outside on the shoulder

of Centrowitz, who I would be sure

would be qualifying from this one. Steady running,

it's not hard running, pretty steady, probably a little

slower than Chris O'Hare. Now deciding he wants

to take a bit closer. He's going to put himself

in with a chance of being and producing that finish and this

is a good run from Chris O'Hare. And it's pretty much the same

as the first one. They have slowed it down

a bit, just inside that. So perhaps might not be two fastest

losers going through. Centrowitz just realises

and edges forward. Sixth place at the moment

with Chris O'Hare. Just easing his way

on the inside of the runner. He is in a good position,

looks as though they're increasing their

options of qualifying. Chris O'Hare doing well

and following Centrowitz. So as they hit the bell,

it's Suleman out the front. Just that little bit

of extra distance to run. A little bit bumped but I think he's

now perfectly poised. If he's got the sprint finish,

we know he has, First five to go

through automatically. They're all bunched up again,

and so many in contention. This is where he likes

to go from, 250m out. Round the bend, gritting his teeth

and digging in and setting that job. Nobody shows the effort

more than O'Hare. O'Hare goes at it again

and doesn't have it in the legs. Suleman is there and Kwemoi

and Gregson and the second It was Robbie Andrews

for the fifth place. And O'Hare had nothing

down the home straight, A man who's been to the finals

of the World Championships, desperately wanted to get

to the final of an Olympic Games. But despite giving everything,

as he always does, and he puts himself

in the right positions, but he just didn't have

the speed in the legs. He didn't do anything wrong

in that race. He was perfectly poised

at every point. He matched the pace,

which really wasn't quick. But there, a sad figure

of Chris O'Hare, one of this large Scottish contingent

presenting Great Britain here. He knows the Olympic final

was a real potential for him, and sadly he's not

going to experience it. Centrowitz is following him

in a good place all the time. Here, Chris O'Hare is

perfectly positioned. the pace was strong enough

at this point. And then just a little bit

in the back straight, a little bit of fading

there from Chris O'Hare, and I wonder if that's

sudden acceleration actually is why he paid the price

in the home straight. And at that point, Chris O'Hare,

you might have bet on him at this point, but no,

into the point, and then suddenly, it's gone and when it goes

like that, the legs have gone, the fatigue is setting in,

that burst of speed I think he's paid the price for Gregson

of Australia coming through, A couple of other things to look out

for - see Robbie Andrews there, he just about stepped on the rail

on the inside of the track, as he was trying to come down,

just watch him here on the inside. He's trying to get

around Gebremedhin. You just see his...

He has locked him in with 200 to go. if there is a disqualification

for Robbie Andrews. Painful to watch.

His thoughts. Obviously you are disappointed not

to make the Olympic final. What didn't work?

I am not sure. And then I tried to turn

it on in the last 100 It was disappointing,

because I wanted to do so much better for my family and my team

and everybody at home And it was just really disappointing

for them as well as myself. I thought I was good enough

but obviously not. You were in a great position.

Tactically you get it spot on. Anything you would have

done differently? No, I mean, I think, I can't,

obviously, I will have to go

back and watch the race. But at the moment I don't feel

I have done anything wrong. You know, I guess

that is all I can do. But, you know, it was disappointing

when I have put all this work in in and I thought I was good enough

and I am... I just wasn't. We appreciate you talking to us.

Thank you. Chris O'Hare, still a reasonably

young man, 25, I am sure

he will be back to try again. And the Spaniard failed and couldn't

get there to Robbie Andrews. The women's 400 metre hurdle final

is coming up later on this evening. One of the finals of

the morning session. Away safely this time.

Thomas will have Clement to chase. Just a metre or two down.

The two Kenyans going well. Thomas tried to stay

in contact with the American. Chopping down on to the hurdle.

Thomas will finish quickly. Don't write him off.

It is Clement leading it. White is there.

Thomas is a long way off. Clement is checking

into the final hurdle. Here comes the Kenyan!

It will be close. Thomas just missing out

by five hundredths of a second on what would have been

a wonderful medal. A Kenyan record after

the World Championships last year. But what a return to the top

of the podium, literally, He burst onto the scene

as a youngster 10, 11 years ago. We thought he would be brilliant

then. All sorts of issues in his life

and career which you have seen him

come back in fine form. An event which we were worried

about all year being maybe a little bit average,

if you like, it turned out to be a little bit

of a classic in the end. Puerto Rico with a false start

and not able to contest it. But the USA is once more on top

in the 400 metre hurdles That is the first time since Sydney

2000 that all the medallists have run under 48 seconds

in the Olympic final. The Olympic world champion

in 400 metre hurdles. Ryan took the wind out of everyone's

sails with that world leading putt. It is over 22 metres

again for Crouser! And the young man is putting

together a series of his life. He is closing in, possibly,

on the Olympic record, 22.47. Ryan Crouser, holding

all the aces at the moment. Neither of them have been

to the Olympics before. A two-horse race as we wait for this

distance to be measured. And his competitor is not

exactly a small man either. Let us have a look at

Charlie Grice in the 450 metres. -- Let us have a look

at Charlie Grice from 450 metres. This is a totally different

Charlie Grice that turned up today than we saw racing in the heats

Charlie Grice did get lucky, as was pointed out, in the,

when we were watching it, he was lucky.

Blankenship was moving quickly he got away through.

He was lucky as Blankenship moved slightly wide.

But Charlie Grice had the reaction he did not have

into third at one point and hold on for the qualifying

At that point, he would not have been certain that the fastest

I think the two fastest losers did come from that heat in the end.

He was looking up at the rerun to make sure he got the fifth placed.

The Olympic medal was already in his pocket.

Blankenship, and Michael in particular, believes

that they should be taught not to open the door and let

That was quite a big invite from Blankenship, wasn't it?

And Robbie Andrews who may get disqualified in the second

semi-final for taking steps on the infield to get past.

Lizze Sharp representing Great Britain.

I think the first semi-final is the hardest and neither of our girls

On paper you will look at that and see it is a tough one.

But I think it is doable for Lindsay.

She puts herself in a better position.

Looking to do that today, fingers crossed.

I know you have to join Andrew in the commentary box.

They are taking position on the track.

The first semi-final with Margaret and of course

I am doing well on my pronunciation tonight, I tell you.

There is a man who can pronounce these names better and his name

If there are two women who could push Semenya in the semi-final,

A note on the 1500 metres we saw with Robbie Andrews, the American,

that result has gone official for now.

But even American colleagues thought he would be disqualified.

It is Ryan Crouser in the fourth round.

The top eight only to progress to the second half of

One of the best series of putts I have seen ever.

Ryan Crouser, we didn't know how he was going to handle the pressure.

The US champion ahead of Kovacs earlier this summer.

Other than that it has been all Kovacs.

Here at the Games, the big one, big prizes on offer.

The men's 200 metre final is in about 1.5 hours.

Usain Bolt is of course going in that one.

But we are ready for the first semi-final

We mentioned the two great strengths of

Took almost two seconds of her personal best.

There is Wilson, second in the US trials.

She took the title in March in Oregon which is

The new 1500 metre champion, a slow race in Amsterdam last month,

The 800 metre champion of Europe after winning in Amsterdam.

The Italian, cleared in March to run for her new country.

The 20-year-old, last year's junior champion.

A great run, her personal best, two-minutes dead.

Wonderful conditions inside the stadium.

The first of the women's 800m semi-final.

Two to go through automatically plus two fastest losers.

A great power in the later stages, looking to see if it is brisk

The European champion looking for a fast finish.

The two we highlighted are the two that go through automatically.

Wambui with her great strength takes her win.

Niyonsaba, looked around, let her have it.

Wambui and Niyonsaba through to the final.

Wilson in third place held that position.

Had a little bit of competition, Nataliya Pryshchepa came

through but she needed this to be a little bit quicker.

Only two fastest losers from the three semifinals

and the others could go quicker than that.

She looked like she was easing and relaxing.

The two in front could relax but she needed to go as fast

She is pushing hard once her work is done, a little look to Wambui,

Always aware of where the third-place athlete is.

Those times were not quite quick enough.

Four women under two minutes but will that be quick enough?

World indoor champion from New Zealand.

The second round in fact was his best.

Trying to work out how close that is to the 22 metre line.

Ten centimetre board in front of that, you cannot touch it,

The last round just shy of 22 metres.

Ryan Crouser has unleashed a massive throw in this fifth round.

He has had three throws already that put him in the lead and he has just

extended it, it might challenge the Olympic record.

Five centimetres on the Olympic record.

Right down on the other end of the arena, the shotput.

It is the second semifinals of the 800 metres and the first

Remember, last year at the World Championship she got

The 19-year-old Ethiopian, a good talent, Alemu

The Swiss has had some great indoor races.

Talking of 1.57, Melissa Bishop did that recently.

The former champion, Sum not in great shape...

I say not in great shape by her very high standards.

Lindh, a new personal best to make it into the semi.

And an athlete who is very dangerous in slower races, Jozwik.

What I am saying is, do not make it slow.

Melissa Bishop started very, very quickly with

They will probably go through the first 200

A little bit quick in the first heat and it is an advantage to know

what time you need in order to have a chance of advancing

Shelayna Oskan-Clarke we know can do this, we know that she can run

quickly and she may be glad it was taken out at a pace.

A little bit quicker than the first heat, 57.65.

One or two I thought may have sat up.

Sum controlling it with the youngster from Ethiopia, Alemu.

Bishop looking for a little bit of room.

Alemu closer to the front than she often is.

A faster race than the first so I think third and fourth

might have a chance, sadly Shelayna Oskan-Clarke

What happened around the top end must have cost

really established herself as someone moving through.

You see the stumble. That was the earlier blocking.

As they come round with 200 metres to go,

Shelayna Oskan-Clarke in that position.

She moved wide to go around Lupu, and she lost the momentum

and a little bit of the fight, because she struggled to come back.

If she had not lost that momentum she could have pulled through.

Melissa Bishop has turned off the burners a little bit.

She knows that she qualified with ease but Shelayna Oskan-Clarke

needed to keep fighting because she lost out

Buchel in the fastest loser position.

doing what Shelayna Oskan-Clarke did last time.

Back to this great shotput final, Steve.

The only man who can stop Ryan Crouser, Joe Kovacs.

He is currently in the silver medal spot.

this is the penultimate throw of the competition.

Now, if ever he had to dig deep, this is the time.

Joe Kovacs trying to get everything he can.

Big scream but, no, it is below 22 metres.

and Ryan Crouser is the Olympic champion.

Well, he will have his last throw, Crouser.

Looks as though he may even go further.

Randy Barnes holding the world record, 1990.

Crouser, a new superstar of shotput is born.

Coached by Matt Wilson, the discus champion from 1976.

22.52, the Olympic record in his last throw.

Another long throw that probably could have won the competition.

Probably five of his six throws could have won.

At 26 in years of age, his first major.

After a slow start for the Americans in this track and field,

Success on the track and success in the shotput.

And we will head back to the women's 800 metres third semi-final.

And we can just have a look at what Lynsey needs to do.

Neither is the world champion Joanna Jozwik.

And Melissa Bishop - 1:59.35.

So the start list for the last of the semifinals in the women's 800m

and Caster Semenya goes here, Lynsey Sharp is in there.

Maryna Arzamasava of Belarus, just inside Lynsey Sharp there.

So Caster Semenya - 23 races this reason,

I was looking to see, but 22 wins from 23.

She did lose a 400m race in March in Pretoria,

She's a very good 400m runner as well,

Maybe struggling to deliver with very best.

Hasn't necessarily lived up to that enormous talent.

There's Kate Grace, winner of the US trials.

The best in the US, Grace went through as one

Caster Semenya, such attention upon her.

We saw how she finished the Monaco Diamond League,

you understand why people are thinking

Lynsey Sharp believes she's in the shape of her life.

But Maryna Arzamasava a considerable threat,

a world champion after taking that title

Amela Terzic, a 1500m specialist, but showed that strength to finish

very quickly in the first round to take second place

The 21-year-old who went below two minutes

A very special moment for an 800m runner.

She knows you almost have to take Caster Semenya out of the equation

Two automatic places but perhaps one here for everyone else.

And Lynsey Sharp almost up alongside her after the gun waits,

she can win any which way she pleases.

The third of the semifinals, they know what time

Not likely that we see Caster Semenya go on the front

I'm glad to see Arzamasava move to the front.

That means she can react as she would do in a Diamond League

race pretty much and she's been racing well all year.

She can just keep a good position, be ready to react,

at some point Semenya will go and go hard.

Probably won't be until the last 200m.

I think Maryna Arzamasava, the world champion, has decided

the options to qualifying in this one and take it

Exactly the same time, and that was quick enough,

that second semifinal, so Arzamasava ahead of Lynsey Sharp

and Semenya, just bouncing along in fifth place at the home.

A good run from Yarigo, and Grace is there,

and Chebet beginning to drop off, so too Chunyu and Terzic.

Do they have something in the latter stages?

Arzamasava, Lynsey Sharp looking strong at the moment.

Arzamasava just beginning to fatigue slightly.

Semenya is there and Grace beginning to make a move

Arzamasava looking around rather nervously.

Semenya just appearing on her shoulder.

Two places as they all tend to go a bit wide there.

And Semenya eases her way around and Grace spots the door

open inside Arzamasava, but does she have the speed?

Lynsey Sharp shutting her eyes and driving hard now for the second

But Lynsey Sharp, no concern, she does look good.

What I like about Sharp this year is she doesn't panic

when she gets into the trouble in the closing stages of the races.

She did get in a bit of trouble there.

She was a little bit lucky that the gap opened up

but also clever in the way she was patient and waited.

She didn't panic, waited for it to open up and when she did

she struck and struck fast to be able to come through

Just looking at the times for Kate Grace.

Kate Grace is going to go through, Arzamasava is going to go through.

They all did their job to ensure they'll be the two fastest

Thanks for the pace to Arzamasava's pace.

She had four away already with 200m away.

All they needed to do is keep running hard and they would qualify

as fastest losers but to have calculated that within the race,

and she wanted to qualify outright in the first two.

She waited patiently until a space opened up.

You said Arzamasava had moved slightly wide and Grace saw that,

and ran far better than she did in the heat.

She didn't look good at all in the meets,

but here she looked good and came through.

And she came through to grab that third place which could have been

significant but Caster Semenya, very easy there.

Just glance up on the screen, you can see the difference.

She is looking slightly up at the screen to check,

she's working hard right through to the line.

Caster Semenya cruising those last few metres there.

Semenya is a strong favourite. Wambui is strong.

But the chance of getting into the final,

you may never know what will happen. Lynsey Sharp is through.

She was a semifinalist in London four years ago.

Now she goes through with Caster Semenya,

Kate Grace and Maryna Arzamasava also going through

And again, you can see what it means,

she knows she's into the final, which is on Saturday,

Just said to Lynsey, that result makes good reading.

Must be a mixture of emotions right now, excitement, joy,

Yeah, I mean, I have just been so looking forward to getting

that Q next to my name, specially after last year,

I know I can complete well in the final,

but it's all about getting there. I'm so happy doing that.

What did you go in with tactically and what kind of plan?

I didn't go in as I planned, I got into positions I didn't plan on.

The main thing is to stay patient and gaps opened. It all paid off.

We saw in the Diamond League time and time again,

you must fancy your chances. I live for the stuff.

This is really where it starts. I was expecting to make the finals.

So now it's about getting some rest and

Thanks for talking to us and well done for reaching the final.

Ryan Crouser, a colossal throw, celebrating a new Olympic record

and a gold medal in the men's shot put final.

That record 28 years old, Ryan Crouser has broken.

Joe Kovacs settled for silver, and Tomas Walsh taking bronze.

Another great field event final this evening,

the women's javelin, the South African.

Twice Commonwealth Games champion in the past,

33 years of age now, snaking down the runway.

I don't know why you would do that - sideways.

That final is about just under 20 minutes away.

And next on the track, though, actually next on the track

When we do leave you, we'll see that on the red button.

Doyle has undergone some real changes, she's married,

moved her base as well and it's clear they're in fruit,

This is a fabulous performance from the Scot so far.

I don't think about medals, I think about going out performing.

It's nice people are talking about me because obviously shows I'm

running well and doing OK, but I just try to think about trying

to execute the right race and with that comes fast times

For me it's focusing on performing and running a good race.

We made changes this year around that top bend, we felt the last

couple of years I have been good for the first 200,

but it's that two and three that I lost positions.

I changed the pattern slightly because of that.

If I get that right, I can get that up with the top

The confidence is the big difference, you know.

Going into it - I look back on the way I felt in London,

To me it was about making the team and going to the Olympics.

But this is about - I made the team but I want to go

there and do something when I'm there.

I'm a totally different athlete than I was four years ago,

It's been really pleasing to see the progress in that four-year

cycle, when you can tangibly see somebody improving in terms

of getting into finals and moving up and the time coming down.

There's been a lot of hard work that's gone on behind-the-scenes

in terms of get the stride pattern right and she's getting there,

she's got the speed there, but the technical part of her game

Yes, the technical part has certainly improved,

and also what she's done both her and the coach,

is really meticulously plan how they're going to, first of all,

of course, match that with good, good, good technique

going to make all the difference, earn specially in the 400m hurdles

You've got some clips for us to look at.

She was always worried about this stride pattern.

Always kind of been pushing her to try to get

First of all, what she said she was working on was that stride

pattern from one hurdle to hurdle five, that always had to be 15

Now, I know people may be thinking - why do you continue sprinting,

why can't you come on any foot and just jump?

But it's really important to come off the hurdles in the right

position because when you are tired, you need to drive.

So here she's still on that 15 stride pattern, changes

down to that one there - that's her 16.

She needs to take this again, the 16 which will be a left leg,

but remember in the heat, she messed it up a little bit

and because she didn't drive on to the barriers just to chill,

just to relax and try to save energy, then

Here once again, we saw this all season, she throws

in an extra stride here, she gets on her good leg, so she can

It worked in this particular time, because it's a heat,

But, of course, when the real deal happens, which is now,

she's in the final, she's in lane 1, she cannot afford to run like that

Would you say looking at the field that's there and besids the time

that Delilah has posted this season, that is quite an open final.

Now the world champion has come back.

Ignore what she ran, 54.3, is her season's best,

So what she's got to do is just run her normal race.

And fail that, it's got to be Ashley.

cringe slightly when she takes over every single hurdle.

It only takes a clip when you have a bit of fatigue

Doyle, she's in lane one, she's going to see everybody,

going to be very difficult for her to put everything into play,

but we know she's won some of the big races in the Diamond

She's capable of going under 54seconds and if anybody of the big

three there make a mistake, and Doyle is in the right position

going into that final barrier, she can sneak a bronze.

We have been calling it all year but she has the potential

Is she at a disadvantage of being in lane one?

What is the disadvantage, is it different

with hurdles that makes lane one a disadvantage?

Now, what happens with hurdles because they go over

the track in a different way, when she's in lane one,

she may end up with three hurdles on the bend,

when you're further out, the hurdles are out on the straight,

and that can I affect the stride pattern, that's why it's a little

Athletes do not tend to train in lane one.

It feels like a good time to take a trip down memory lane

when Great Britain was pretty dominant in these events.

She will not mind a little bit about that.

I tell you a secret, I was there and I was 19 years

old and I had six tickets for the dream team but it was not

the men but the women and I swapped them for that

the tickets thought he was getting the American men's team.

If you are watching, I am sorry.

Well, it was a fantastic Olympic Games for Great Britain.

And a certain hurdler and he absolutely fell apart.

Let's have a listen to Shelayna Oskan-Clarke.

Unfortunately she did not make it through.

I got tripped up over there and lost a bit of momentum, really.

In the end, it is my responsibility to get myself in that position.

I probably should have been a bit more patient because it was a little

If I would have got ahead of that person I would have been fighting

But what about the things you've learnt at the World Championship

and another big step up being in the Olympics?

An incentive to go away and train harder and come back and try

to put myself in the best position when I am racing.

I am in great shape but it is tough when you are doing the rounds.

Thank you and we appreciate you stopping to talk to us.

STUDIO: The women's javelin is taking place tonight

This is the European champion Tatsian Khaladovich.

Very similar to the throw of Sunette Viljoen but no one really

setting the world alight in this women's final at the halfway stage.

That throw 64.60 for Tatsian Khaladovich

so she goes into second place behind Sunette Viljoen.

She can make history here by taking a third if she gets it right.

As we stand at the end of round three, she is in fourth place.

We have others throw beyond 70 metres.

The world record holder over 72 metres.

Her best, 63 on the nose, the best so far.

STUDIO: Usain Bolt out on the warm-up track.

We'll be in the stadium just before 10:30pm.

He seems to be fairly relaxed, it is fair to say that.

He has such an eclectic mix of music.

And he dances in the same way to everything.

It could be the equivalent to a foxtrot.

We also have Elidh Doyle in the 400 hurdles.

But we go to the taekwondo to see if Jade Jones can defend her title.

Hopefully we will be back for the 400 hurdles.

The athletics will continue on the Red Button.

Right now, we hand over to you for what hopefully will be

23 years old, from North Wales, she is a massive star in Wales

and she could be a massive star for Team GB and for

the rest of the world if she can defend her title.

COMMENTATOR: Lovely block, Jade Jones is going through.

So far no problems in the defence of her title.

She is the favourite but her opponents is the number two seed.

Nick, this should be one real tight contest.

Yes, it should be a really phenomenal.

We wanted to see the number one against the number two.

Jade has the advantage, winning the two most recent battles.

This is the one the crowd is waiting for.

When you are the reigning Olympic champion,

that must count for so much. Absolutely.

There is a lot of pressure once you become the Olympic champion

and that is something Jade Jones has had to deal with.

It was the first-ever Olympic title in taekwondo for Great Britain.

It has taken a while for her to adapt to be Olympic champion.

The pressure where every opponent raises her game to try and beat her

The World Championship title would mean nothing

if she could defend her Olympic gold medal.

She is so down to earth, softly spoken but in these next

couple of minutes she turns into an unbelievable Welsh warrior.

she will shut down into the little bubble she is in.

Yet, when she is relaxed, she is just a normal young woman

but as soon as she is out there on the night,

she is super focused and she wants to win every single time.

Jade Jones taking on Eva Calvo Gomez, coming up shortly.

If you need a guide to taekwondo, this is a quick guide.

Taekwondo became a fully-fledged Olympic sport in Sydney in 2000.

Each contest has three rounds of two minutes, and a competitor can win

on points or if their opponent is unable to continue.

Points are awarded for permitted, accurate and powerful blows

Attacks to the body are made using a fist or foot,

but an athlete can only use their feet

to strike the area above the collarbone.

Punches to the head and attacks to the spine are not allowed.

The only techniques permitted are kicks where the athlete uses

the area of the foot below the ankle and punches where the athlete

uses the knuckle part of a tightly-clenched fist.

Scoring differs depending where or how an athlete has attacked.

One point is awarded for a valid attack to the body protector

but if the attack is a turning or reverse kick to the body,

An athlete will receive three points for a legal kick to the head.

And if this is a turning kick, it achieves its maximum - four points.

At the end of the three rounds, a competitor with the most

points wins the match, but in the event of a tie,

where the first competitor to score a point wins.

All you need to know about taekwondo as we head

into the gold medal contest, let's go back to the Carioca arena,

Back for more this time - Jade Jones and this one

Absolutely. It can't wait for this one.

It's going to be a cracker, it really is.

Defending her Olympic title, of course -

But like you say, Eva Calvo Gomez, who won that -

well, will want to say something about that.

So it should be a great match-up between these two.

And great to see that such opposition that, you know,

all of a sudden Eva Calvo Gomez came up and took over from Jones.

It's time to decide the destination of the Olympic gold.

Eva Calvo Gomez in red, the taller of the two.

Great Britain's Jade Jones wants to keep the right foot in front.

Atmosphere electric here at the Carioca Arena -

Who can find the uptown quality to get the shot on the board?

The range finder for Eva Calvo Gomez.

Good push, kick power from the Spanish fighter.

Just trying to find her range at the moment, Jones.

We have seen it a lot with Jade Jones -

just takes the time, fields the distance,

gets the distance right and then starts to pick up the points.

She's trying to find a little space for her feet.

This one really ebbing and flowing back and forth.

I think she's going to make sure she keeps maintaining that distance

and then come in when it's the right moment, Jade Jones,

but, of course, Eva Calvo Gomez is going to try to use her range.

Try to come in with a hook kick there, Jones in blue.

She sneaks in and taking the head shot and plants another!

I think we're going to see a protest here.

The coach saying that he wants one of the head kicks invalidated.

He's going to have to ask for one of the kicks to be taken away.

The contention here is that the first head shot

They go into the clinch, the coach is saying that it was holding

the Spanish fighter and the head shot was over the shoulder.

Let's have a look and a little listen.

The coach got his instructions wrong.

Card instantly pocketed and with 20 seconds to go, Jade Jones tries

She's starting to pick up the points here and just eight seconds left

A little cushion, it won't be a cushion she can rest

A little bit of coach and athlete consternation there, some confusion,

Two head shots and two lots of three points there.

So six points, but like you say, she knows that she can't just come

and expect to go two more rounds with just six points.

She's going to try to add to that, of course.

The British coach advising Jade Jones

She cuts a strong figure here against Eva Calvo Gomez.

Jade Jones in blue, Eva Calvo Gomez in red,

but who's going to get back into this?

A chip and charge as Jones tries to charge upstairs as well.

But like you say - Gomez, same technique,

caught her with the same technique, but got to be careful as she comes

Enormous tension and rivalry between these two.

Will it be repeat or will it be revenge?

Jones hoping for her second Olympic title.

She won it at the home crowd in London,

She's on the road with a five point gap look scoring with that

head shot, and again great defence from Gomez.

She's still in this, and an excellent push point

Yes, she's just got to keep her head,

There's the head shot that puts Gomez back into this one.

The Spanish fighter not giving up without a fight.

And Gomez, in terms of head-to-heads,

She's 7-6 behind on the scoreboard, though.

It is absolute classic, and she's going to see

what she scored with earlier, go back to that because - look at that.

The direction of the scores has changed quickly as well.

Jones with that great physicality, Eva Calvo Gomez, a very strong

fighter in her own right and she's put herself back in context here.

This is Olympic taekwondo at the very best.

She was in the lead, and Eva Calvo Gomez has clawed it back.

The coaching instruction is quite clear there -

forget that round, give me your best two minutes,

but it was the best two minutes from Gomez here.

Yes, I think absolutely right - it was fantastic for Gomez,

Gomez absolutely came forward, didn't she?

And she was determined to pull that deficit back and she did.

It is, coming into this last round now,

All depends now on who wants it most and a little bit of change

I think Eva Calvo Gomez did change her tactics,

The women's under 57kg gold-medal contest.

Jade Jones, her opponent - you can guess what colour she's in.

But what colour will they be carrying at the end?

Jones picks off a little flick kick to the body.

It is a fantastic match. Great stuff here.

Eva Calvo Gomez absolutely taking the fight to Jones.

Jones has to fight back but it's an open match,

an open final and that's why it's so close.

She takes it, an absolute picture-perfect shot there.

But there's one more for Gomez. A five point match.

Jones goes for the head again, she scores.

The Spanish fighter, this a real battle.

Gomez going for the big points, of course.

And Jones just keeping her composure.

Under pressure, but the Olympic champion here

defending her Olympic title and - wow - is she doing that well!

The time for Gomez to do something - has it gone?

Jade Jones there asks for a replay card.

There you go, the face kick is the request,

For me, I saw the head go back, but good call.

Let's look at it, Jones pushing forward with her first phase.

Double Olympic champion to the delight

of the British fans and the Brazilian crowd.

She said because of him, she found a love for the sport again.

Paul Green never one to take the plaudits,

but it was his charge, the Welsh Wonder, the fighter

from Flint, that produced a tremendous response.

Eva Calvo Gomez a superb silver, disappointed

and she kept her cool - Jade Jones.

She racked up the points but credit to Eva Calvo Gomez because she came

back into it, she never gave up, kept coming forward.

Jade Jones in the end, though, double Olympic champion.

This is just absolutely phenomenal - Jade Jones, one of the stars

of London 2012 has struck gold again.

There is Jade Jones - this is absolutely incredible.

Right, we'll go back to the taekwondo very shortly.

And hear from the Olympic champion after we take you back

Let's head back to the Olympic Stadium.

As you can see Eilidh Doyle is about to go in the women's

Doyle, Nugent, Muhammad, Peet, Spencer, Hejnova,

The lanes outside her to the first barrier, she looked strong

We're looking for Dalilah Muhammad in lane 3.

But it's Muhammad leading at the moment.

A couple of lanes outside, but Muhammad over that barrier

in front as the rain starts to come down heavier still in

Muhammad four or five paces clear, Doyl, a lot of ground

to make up but everybody has a lot of ground to make up.

Hejnova is there, Ashley Spencer trying to finish strongly

but Dalilah Muhammad for the gold medal!

She's fading a little bit but she crossing the line - 53.14.

Petersen the silver and Ashley Spencer came

But just about from the start, to the finish, Dalilah Muhammad,

Sarah Petersen, you can see what the silver medal meant to her.

Eilidh Doyle tried, but that was a high calibre field

in front of her, and Ashley Spencer has got the bronze.

And we talked about those who were coming in,

with all their expectation and the pressure of being

the favourites, the clear favourite as Dalilah Muhammad was here,

and she delivered, and embrace from Sarah Petersen to Eilidh Doyle,

two Europeans who have competed so hard against each other,

but Sarah Petersen takes the silver, that was a great run,

Wonderful run, but from Dalilah Muhammad it was superior.

Once he puts her mind to it - Muhammad - she's so strong.

She's technically, very effective and efficient.

She just runs so freely, doesn't she?

She doesn't seem like she's worried about any stride pattern.

She's cool, calm and aggressive at the right moment.

That allows you to have that lovely loping stride,

The big conversation has to be Sarah Petersen,

because she had a great year in the championships

but I was thinking whether she could live up to that when it comes

to the real deal - the Olympic Games.

Doyle ran a decent race but didn't quite have the pace of the others.

She's run 54.61, how does she look here, Colin?

She's taken the challenge here of the stride pattern.

It's one of these things you need to get groved into you earlier

You're allowed to run a lot freer in circumstances like this,

Right now, the stride pattern she's worked on is absolutely

So there's no worries, no criticism you can give Doyle

It's just this race was phenomenally fast, not just by one

or two, or three people, but all the way down to sixth,

there was either season's best, personal best or just fast times.

As you can see, Doyle did a grand job, she couldn't do anymore under

So all in all, to be in the Olympic final for her is

Perhaps maybe she wanted a little bit more, but I can assure

Yes, to make an Olympic final is something very special,

but Dalilah Muhammad, look at her so far ahead

The gold medallist, the US again, took a while to get their first

track title in Rio, and when they come, they come over

the hurdles, Rollins led, Clement in the men's,

in the women's 400m ahead of Sarah Petersen, Ashley Spencer

and Eilidh Doyle down in eighth place.

The American Dalilah Muhammad, the fastest qualifier also ran

There you can see Great Britain, another gold medal and we

are used to seeing this - we saw it at London 2012,

we're seeing it again, Jade Jones has won another gold

medal, she's a double Olympic champion.

Absolutely magnificent performance from Jade and she's just been

Jade, a massive congratulations, you defended your Olympic title,

I can't explain, I didn't realise how

much pressure, like, I would feel coming into this.

Like, even the first two matches, I felt pressure and intense.

To pull it off and, you know, my coach,

You know, the Great Britain team trained so hard, and even...

You're a big part of this achievement tonight.

Yeah, she delivers under pressure, I said it before, she's done it

again, she's the most successful British athlete in taekwondo

in history and probably ever will be.

And her achievement is fantastic, double Olympic champion.

Can I just say a huge thank you to the National Lottery

for funding, the taxpayers that fund Jade to do the sport,

and Gary Hall, legend of a boss, keeps the programme together.

Absolutely made all of this possible.

And Jade, you know, from your perspective,

I'm sure you know, for those that don't know your journey over

the last four years, hasn't been easy, coping

with all of the pressure, but you turned it

You know to be double Olympic champion already is crazy.

And now - I just can't believe it to be honest.

You know, before the competition I have been crying in the sessions.

You can't see it happening because you know you're so stressed

But, you know, I did it when it mattered.

Very different atmosphere obviously to London 2012 with the home crowd

four years ago, but massive support for you still tonight and that

My family and friends, they mean the world to me.

So much support win or lose, that does mean a lot.

Everybody back home in Flint, I think there's like

so many people in the - whatever the pub is called!

It is Bolt time in just a few minutes' time.

He'll be out on the track ready to run the 200m final.

If he wins it, it will be his eighth Olympic gold.

I was going to say historic, unprecedented.

I'm fairly sure to say never to be repeated if he does it.

I don't think any time soon anyone would do that.

You never know what another great athlete is going to come along

and be able to duplicate this sort of thing, but it

This is the second part in the three-part series of Bolt

trying to duplicate this feat for the third time winning the 100,

I don't see anyone standing in his way tonight,

but again you have to run the races and the guys aren't

We saw Andre De Grasse run him to the tape.

"Maybe if I do it now, and see what it feels like, I can

He's on the inside and Merritt as well.

They're going to factor into the medals.

De Grasse says he prefers 100 to 200.

And Lemaitre produced some form as well.

if there another race behind Bolt, it's hard to predict

Alonso Edward has been running well from Panama.

Lemaitre is coming around at the right time running 20.01 this

There were lot of sub-20 second times in the semifinals,

that is what is going to make this a fast race.

Certainly since last Saturday, Denise.

It rained for about 20 minutes, about 30 minutes or so ago.

The air has got cooler, a bit of a breeze.

I think like Michael said, this is a forgone conclusion.

You know, we saw him looking relaxed.

This is such an important event for him.

He wants to dominate it, and he wants to dominate it big.

This could be the last time we ever see him run 200m.

This is certainly the last time he's going to be on this stage,

the biggest stage of all in athletics - the Olympic Games.

And I'm sure he'll want to go out where a bang.

He'll want to soak up the moment and really entertain the crowd.

But, you know, I wonder - I know he's confident

but at the same time, he has not been as dominant

You got De Grasse, you got Merritt, you got Alonso Edward,

all of these guys have run very, very fast with De Grasse and Merritt

both running under 20 seconds, and easing up both

So, you know, if Usain Bolt - obviously we know when he's

at his best, no one can get close to him, but if he's not -

and we know he's not his best this year, we saw that in the 100m -

it could get a little bit competitive.

And that - you know, that would be entertaining to see.

You know, it's hard to predict at this point what sort of 200m

And Adam Gemili was disappointed with his semifinal.

He got through as one of the fastest losers and you were talking

through yesterday his race and his shoulders were bunched up

How much of a difference could it make to his time if he can

just get his body right in that final straight?

In fact, he wasn't good at his bend either?

He was OK around the bend, what he made the mistake

is on the straight and that started as soon as he came off the bend,

so we're talking about a good 100m of running tight and so each one

of those strides is, you know, affecting you by

millimetres and milliseconds, once you made that mistake it's

compounded and the effect can be massive.

Then that works in the opposite direction as well.

When you're more fluid, you're not slowing down as fast,

everyone is slowing down at the end of that race,

And that's what you want to, you do that by maintaining your

relaxation, maintaining your form and technique and letting the race

come to you and just letting it do what it does instead

And I believe he was trying to force it and he recognised that.

I was going to say the important thing -

is immediately after the race, Adam said he recognised

And that is so important and so all he needs to do is stay relaxed.

Actually, if he runs his race, he could be in contention.

Let's go down to our commentary team.

CRAM: If this is to be the last of his major 200m, then hopefully

he has got something special in store for us.

The full start list there - Guliyev, Gemili, Edward,

De Grasse, Merritt, Bolt, Lemaitre and Martina.

Little bit of a strapping on his leg, the Dutchman.

Well, the great gladiator into the arena,

He's taken on all-comers over the last eight years

Nobody's really got that close, have they?

But this is a good field, the point has been made.

Martina has followed Bolt through to 2012 and 2016,

well done for him to be here as well.

Lemaitre, rediscovering some form of old.

The Frenchman who took Europe by storm in 2010

LaShawn Merritt - at 200m, he's quicker than Carl Lewis.

He's looking for a medal at the very least.

And this massive talent from Canada - Andre De Grasse.

If ever the phrase the bronzed figure of Andre De Grasse is true,

he says if he's going for the world record, I'm going with him!

In 2009, when Bolt ran that 19.19 world record in Berlin,

this is the man who followed him home - Alonso Edward.

Adam Gemili from Blackheath and Bromley Club.

that would be a huge achievement here.

Guliyev on the inside, running for Turkey.

So every single man in this field has run under 20 seconds.

So Bolt perhaps for the very last time in a major championship

goes into his blocks at the start of the 200m.

A journey which begun when he was just 15 years of age.

What history is written, what more does he have for us?

Quiet, please - Mr Bolt is about to start.

De Grasse is going well around the bend as well.

Gemili trying to get into the race with Edward,

but it's Usain Bolt on his own

Usain Bolt - running away from everybody.

Running to what he loved to be immortality as an athlete.

Even Usain Bolt couldn't deliver on a rainy night in Rio,

but I don't think any of us expected that.

Well, if that is it, if we never see him again in a 200m final,

but then what we need to do is reflect on what this man has done.

He took the bronze medal in the same time as Gemili.

and said Gemili was being pulled through by Alonso Edward.

And I'm sure he would forgive the crowd and everybody else

They're all looking up at the screen and can't believe the result.

De Grasse has expected the silver medal,

and Lemaitre, goodness me - outside 20 seconds as well.

If this is it, what on earth are we going to do without him?

You know, Steve, my heart goes out to this young man - Adam Gemili.

To be fourth place with exactly the same time as the bronze

medallist - Christophe Lemaitre - which some would expected

to have beaten coming into this competition, is going to be -

oh, truly, truly a bitter, bitter pill for him to deal with.

Look at his head, he cannot believe it.

They'll study it and try to get a bronze medal if it's

But you know, once the result goes up nowadays, they're pretty

So Adam will be devastated, no doubt.

But you know - he's still fourth in the world.

He's got to remember that and he's got a bright,

OK, so Usain Bolt, he's taken a bow and,

well, family of supported him, of course, through all of that

and been there on so many occasions to see him, unbelievably.

And what a journey he's had us all on.

Gemili was right into it up to the bend and then it was a scrap

He wanted to get on Christophe Lemaitre very quickly.

I think that was probably upset someone like LaShawn Merritt

who wasn't expecting him to go out so hard.

And Andre De Grasse said he wanted to go with Usain and

To behold Usain through to that silver medal position,

Many of the athletes would be disappointed with the time.

They would hope that clock would have stopped at something

like 19.4, 19.5, which would have dragged everybody down to a much

From this side it almost would have said Martina.

Lemaitre is a bit taller than the other two, might have just

I was looking for closely at those lines, and it did look to me

that Christophe Lemaitre had just, just, just edged it.

Well, I expected a little bit faster, Colin, but the race

is what it is and Bolt immediately jumped out to the lead,

We knew it was going to be a race for the medals.

I knew this was going to be an interesting race

There you see it, just very, very tight on the line.

But De Grasse followed Bolt, as he said he would.

But then extremely tight on the line there.

I think that Gemili, Lemaitre, couldn't have done a

better job, all timed it perfectly and the results are what they are.

LaShawn Merritt in the middle of the track, never was in it,

didn't have the foot speed to match the rest of the guys,

and tried to come through with the 400m strength in the end.

Coming over from the 100m and this was a quality race.

You take Bolt out of it, that was fantastic for him.

But tight on the line for all of the other guys.

It was a quality race just not being able to separate.

You see right there - Gemili - I mean Lemaitre is ahead.

I think Churandy is just a hair back from Gemili.

I don't think he could have done more to get that bronze.

I think he executed as well as he could.

If you look at the time isn't as fast as what he ran

in the semifinal, but if you look at his race and his position

versus the other guys, there were guys in there who

ran 19 seconds in the semifinals, like Merritt.

And he was able to finish ahead of him.

So around this bend, Bolt just establishes himself,

Lemaitre great job, just not trying to respond to Bolt,

let him go and then use the strength coming down the home

I mean, seven guys all right there together.

Six guys trying to all get in there for those medals.

time. I would have thought - I expected Bolt to run maybe 19.6

He may not be in a great a shape as we like for him or seen him

in the past, but I expect the guys like LaShawn Merritt

and Andre De Grasse to go under 19 seconds.

Again, maybe challenge Bolt a little bit.

Lemaitre 20.01 in the semifinals but none of them went

LaShawn Merritt struggling there, but Bolt relieved, full of joy

He has completed at least in his individual events,

A fantastic performance by a fantastic and amazing competitor.

Adam Gemili is with me, track-side now.

Adam, we always say that's the cruellest place

I know it's full of emotion for you, but what a performance

I put so much into that - into that run,

And I just took it so close.

Makes harsher in a way, but the way you ran your race

in the first Olympic time, can you begin to take some

Yeah, I was on the inside, and I knew Bolt was going to go

and I knew a lot of people were going to go with him,

my coach and I said, let them go, be a bit more conservative,

because yesterday I had a look at the race,

I hit the bend really hard, save a bit for when you come

into the straight and you start to go past people and I did.

But it's been a fantastic season for myself and my team around me,

my family, and my friends at home and my girlfriend.

I have had such amazing support from everyone in the UK

I want to say thank you very much to them.

It means a lot. I'm just gutted I couldn't do it.

Bring home a medal for GB. Yeah, it's...

Colin Jackson said in commentary - 22-years-of-age,

you're on the upward curve, there's so much more to come

Yeah, this is what - this is the fun bit of competing,

We have a big year next year in London, and I just can't wait

to go out there and put this right because I'm really gutted.

To miss out on an Olympic medal, fourth place is probably the worst

place, it's so close and at the same time it's heartbreaking.

Hopefully next year I can make it right for the team,

and in my speech, we're not here to feel lanes anymore.

Four Europeans in that field and Team GB and especially

in the 200m, we got guys who can make the final and push.

Shame didn't work out tonight. But I'll reconvene with my coach.

As team captain, you have done your team proud.

Well, you can see the frustration there of Adam Gemili.

The reason why just missing out on a medal there - Lemaitre

delighted he was, wasn't he, to just sneak that bronze.

Andre De Grasse, well, he's moved away from

That is Usain Bolt's slowest championship winning 200m, and,

well, he knows as much as anybody else that if that is the last

His eighth Olympic gold medal, of course.

And just the four by 100m relay to come for the triple-triple.

Usain Bolt, I imagine, number one emotion - relief.

You know, this is what it's all about.

I mean, as an athlete, he loves running the relay,

we all love running the relays, but at the end of the day,

your career is about what you do at the individual event.

No matter what he has done from this point on,

he's done what no one else has done, and may never do ever again,

And so, yeah, I'm sure there's a tremendous amount of relief

from the injuries that he suffered earlier in the year, you know,

and it's been tough, his health has been something that

he's had to manage much better and pay much more attention to,

you know, and sort of put aside the motivation that, you know,

sustained him for so long which was, "I'm going to run faster and faster

and faster" and replace that with, "Now I need to cross the finish line

I feel a lightning bolt coming, no, what he's doing now.

What the crowd is still doing - is chanting his name

Just incredible what he brings to stadiums around the world.

He's been a fantastic ambassador, great athlete,

And just a word on Adam Gemili as well, you know -

three thousandths of a second is the difference.

He hoped, he hoped and he hoped, and he looked up and realised -

Fifth in the World Championships in 2013.

He tore his hamstring last year, couldn't compete in Beijing.

I believe that he represents a new attitude of British sprinters.

I have been in this role for a very long time - since 2004 -

and I remember when British sprinters weren't as hungry

and weren't coming off after a disappointing race

and saying, "You know, I'm disappointed, I

should have done better", he was very hard on himself,

That was a tough ask, but you want to see

That's what - I know it's tough for him and I feel for him,

but at the same time, I also can appreciate

that he knows that I - I'm right there and I don't -

And he will take that into next year and follow training.

When he's had a year removed from his injury,

That's why he's in this final, getting in on time, but being able

to get himself into this final is because of his drive
