Day 14 BBC Four: 13.00-16.00 Olympics

. Persistent. Lending. Waiting for no one. It is the past. The present.

The future. Time. Time is everything.

Usain Bolt, with these performances you are spoiling us. He now has

eight gold medals for the Jamaican legend, two of them won in that

Olympic Arena at the Maracana. Tonight, he could win at the ninth.

The triple trouble or the treble treble, whatever you want to call

it, it is still on. The man is on the cusp of sporting immortality.

Usain Bolt, once again, we salute you. As far as Great Britain is

concerned, after the drought, the medals came been again on day 13.

Six of them were one, six bronze, two silver medals and three gold.

The three tes left ago, he would not bet against them beating the tally

65 medals from London 2012. Great Britain are adorable. What is on

stored on BBC four? Is it a bird, visitor playmaker, it

is Super Dan. China's Lin Dan going for the novel gold medal in the

men's singles. Charley Hull is very well-placed in

the women's golf. She is two shots off the lead and can she do what

Justin Rose did a of days ago? If you were not up late last night,

Jade Jones got another stunning gold medal. It is the turn of Lutalo

Mohammed in the tae kwon do. And Joe Joyce is in the ring in the

superheavyweight category for Great Britain. It is the medal that

Anthony Joshua one back in 2012. It is now time for Joe Joyce. Day 14

looks like this on BBC four. We will be over to the badminton very

shortly to see how Lin Dan can get on for China. And then to the

women's golf and see how Charley Hull and Catriona Matthew are

getting on. We will have tae kwon do and also boxing.

This is what is on ABC one. Liam Heath time to add to the Silver

Medal he won with Jon Schofield yesterday. And later it is a chance

for Great Britain to go for show-jumping gold, Nick Skelton

leading the individual charge. We will be over to the Deodoro Stadium

later on. Let us checking on the golf. Charley Hull from Great

Britain is two shots of the lead and well placed at the halfway stage for

what would be a great British golden goal pink double after what Justin

Rose dead. The round of the day was Stacy Lewis from America who

rocketed up the leaderboard. They have had nature to deal with as

well. Danger lurks on the Rio Olympic Golf

Course, stay out of the undergrowth if you can. Ariya Jutanugarn was

forced to face the snakes on the second. And then took a splash with

the alligators. She has found the water. That is a big mistake. She

finished the day six under, no better or worse than the one. She is

not in the zone. Arrivals were queueing up to overtake and the

Brits were on the rampage. A birdie at the first and Charley Hull was on

the chase. Charley Hull of Great Britain is off to a birdie start.

Three back-to-back birdies on the last three holes allowed to charge

up the leaderboard and finished eight under. It is different being

on the Olympic leaderboard. It is cool. I felt I hit it pretty good. I

started with a birdie and finished with the Burdisso I am happy.

Catriona Matthew was on the move. Level par after the first eight mark

and then something seemed to click for her. Another nightspot. Birdie.

Six more of those including this at the last. That is a round of 66 from

Catriona Matthew. Delighted. I had to come out with a good score to

keep myself in it so I am pleased. They will have to get past Stacy

Lewis first. The part was on fire. I have not known how many birdies I

mean, I was just focused on the next shot and was trying to make birdies.

The scores were low and the girls were shooting good number so I was

trying to keep up. The Americans bombed into the lead on nine under

par with a remarkable round that consisted of 11 birdies, four in a

row to finish. This is for a round of 63. And what a round of golf that

has been. Forget the snakes and the alligators, the real danger came

from Inbee Park from South Korea, the seven time major champion broke

from the pack to hunt down the lead for a 66 round without a bogey. Good

shot. Ten under par is the target now. Let the chase began. ODE: It

was a wildlife watch yesterday inbound two of the Olympic got and.

What about today? What are we expecting at the way smack Bismarck

-- Reserva de Marapendi. We were expecting wind and rain. It is

turned out nice again. Charley Hull was hoping for some bad weather. She

said as a British golf or it might have played 200 baggage going into

this penultimate round. The conditions are hot, the sun is out

and that will crank up the heat in this competition once again. Expect

more low scores later on. We have six players with an three shots of

the lead, Inbee Park. Inbee Park, seven time major champion, right at

the top. Stacy Lewis after that remarkable round yesterday that had

11 birdies. Four in a row to finish on nine under. Charley Hull is tied

for third place with the 18-year-old world number three, Brooke Henderson

from Canada. Ariya Jutanugarn who was the leader going into the deep

two is at the bottom of that scoreboard. Catriona Matthew has a

job at Headford later today. You can head out onto the course to watch

the gap -- like golf. You can press the Red Button you can

follow the action on the BBC sport at and on the website. The early

players about. Let us look ahead to the marquee groups going out. There

are some Billy Bingham names to watch all grouped together. The last

one of the day, Inbee Park, Stacy Lewis and Charley Hull. The other

leaders and go out last. World number three, Brooke Henderson from

Canada, she is world -- as with some of the players who led through the

early stages. Marianne Skarpnord of Norway and Nicole Broch Larsen from

Denmark. And Pacino Matthew starts at 2:25pm. -- Catriona Matthew.

Plenty of action going on down here at the Reserva de Marapendi over the

course of the next few hours. Jamie Spence of Whitney, the golf manager

for Team GB, he saw the group with Stacy Lewis and Charley Hull and

Inbee Park. Is Charley Hull the type of player who will feed of the

success of the big players or she and own zone? She is one of a kind.

She played with Lydia Ko, the world number one for the first two days

and it did not faze her. Nothing phases hard. She is 27 and the world

and she should be higher than that, she should be top five. More

experience and more application, she is raw and parts per game, she is a

great talent. She will not be frightened and will be taking the

course on. She will be looking forward to. Her motto is headed hard

and then hit it again. She likes the Olympics. We had a good laugh last

night. We sat together and watched the athletics and she told us some

salt and cup stories. She made us laugh when I made her laugh, I think

she finds I am her grandad. She is a great character. She has hardly

missed a shot a first two days, she strikes the ball beautifully. The

same with Catriona Matthew. She is five shots back. If she is five

shots back starting tomorrow, she could still be on the podium. On

this course, anything can happen. Katrina has played some lovely golf.

Things are beginning to click. She was level at the D1 and then five

wondered yesterday. I think this window will kick up today. -- this

window. The pins are an easy positions yesterday. More difficult

today with the flag positions. And you get close to the medal ceremony,

that brings in the nose. I do not think you will see such low scoring

today. I am hoping that both of the girls can break par and they will be

happy with that. Medal prospects, do we have a couple in the bag? Charley

Hull 's 27th and Katrina is 46, get it into perspective. They have got a

good chance. You heard it here. Good chance for British ladies going and

today three of the women's Olympic got a moment. In conditions like

this, anything can happen and we saw that yesterday. Jedinak good chance.

I look for to see how Catriona Matthew and Charley Hull continue on

this Olympic adventure. Let us go for a walk. It is the morning of day

14. Can you believe any couple of days' time, this thing that has

become home, it'll go away and we do not see it any more. All of the fans

coming in on the Friday morning, enjoying a last bit of Olympic

action before the weekend is upon us. I told you a couple of days ago

you can buy some food here. It is lunchtime for you. Because it is

Saturday tomorrow, I might consider that. We are professionals. While

the trickle of people make the weight behind us and beauty Benite

on the beer baba find us, let us look -- top badminton. China are the

superpower and one of five medals in 2012. They do not have any so far

here in Rio. There is no guarantee that they will come in the men's

singles final. This is the line-up at the semifinal stage. Viktor

Axelsen who beat Rajeev boosted in the quarterfinals will take on Chen

Long. And the other semifinal will have a repeat of the 2012 final. It

went to Lin Dan that time, just as adept in 2008. The Malaysian has

gone twice into the final and came out as the loser. This is what

happened as Lin Dan one another Olympic gold medal. He is taking all

the applause. Enjoy the moment with your team. And as Super Dan, as the

Cole Hammer in China, did his usual salute to all four corners, he did

his -- he collected his medal. -- as they call him in China. Let us see

what happens at the arena for the badminton. It is setup for thrilling

semifinal. COMMENTATOR: The Olympic semifinal,

the reigning champion, the two-time champion, the left-hander, Lin Dan.

Against the man he beat in the last two finals from Malaysia.

A length away is addressed and the shuttle flying a little bit faster

to Lee Chong Wei's side of the court, there is a sideways drift

from left to right. It is not often that the head coach,

and those chairs at the back of the court, and that, an indication of

the importance of this match. The last couple of times that I have

watched Lee Chong Wei playing against Lin Dan, he has been winning

with an aggressive, attacking style. He looks very, very nervous, to me,

Lee Chong Wei. That has gone along of the backline.

Another grimace on his face. I don't think we have seen Lee Chong Wei it

a smash yet, have we? I'd think either of them have. -- I don't

think. There we go. That is what I was

expecting from Lee Chong Wei. Wonderful smash. Down the left-hand

side. Now, what is the delay? Lin Dan, holding his hand up, for

some inexplicable reason. He followed up but he looked a

little tentative, Lee Chong Wei. That is the sort of thing that I

think, in his previous matches, the last two matches against Lin Dan,

and aggressive style, and a quick follow-up. Again, a nervous looking

shot. That has gone wide. Two of the three

rallies where he has used his big smash, Lee Chong Wei has won so far.

Three out of four. My goodness, what good defence.

Well, it was the right idea. But Lin Dan's defensive qualities, they are

absolutely superb. Look at that. How on earth did he not just get that

back, but get it back with interest? Well, perhaps the drift is not as

pronounced as it has been in earlier days of the competition. I am

surprised he has hit a couple long of the backline.

If you are a Malaysian fan you will be very concerned about how nervous

Lee Chong Wei looks at the moment. He must have gifted his opponent

four point with unforced errors. In all singles disciplines players

try to outmanoeuvre the other. Play to the back then play to the front.

Wait until your opponent is a very slightly out of position. Net play

is a vital in Men's Singles. The opportunity to tumble the shuttle on

the net play then force your opponent to lift shot. That is a

great defence. Could rally. -- good. Having it a couple long of the

backline I think that a couple of Lee Chong Wei's lifts were... Yes,

look at his feet for the attacking shot. Again, inside the double

service line. Always an indication of how good the lift was, when you

look at the player playing the overhead, where their feet are when

they land. That was quick. So well read by Lee

Chong Wei. He knew the straight drop was coming. There is the hold and

flick first of all. Looking so quick, forward to receive that drop

shot, but look at his defensive league earlier on, that is

remarkable. There is the tight spinning net shot

I was talking about. It the top of the tape and went over. -- hit. Look

at this. The shuttle, upside down as it crosses over the net. The

tumble... Well, that is perfection. Brilliant play from Lin Dan. A

5-point advantage. Mid-game interval.

So, the defending champion, Lin Dan, looking the more relaxed of the two

players. Net. The battle at the net this time

is won by the left-hander. It is all a question of getting to the net

first. Look how Lee Chong Wei takes it early. Then the shuttle is

tumbling and spinning and it is very, very difficult to control the

reply, either back to the net, or the left. Shows the importance of

that tight spinning net shot. Gone wide. Taken with the drift.

Yes. Moved quickly to that, around the head position, Lin Dan, just

clipping the shuttle down. A bit more explosive movement and

injection of pace from Lee Chong Wei will serve him well. And that is the

intrigue, because I think the defence of Lin Dan its magnificent,

if you have one player with the dynamic of attack and the other,

incredible defence, although they had both got great defence,

obviously... A challenge. The first challenge of

the semifinal. The instant review judge will be called in to

adjudicate for us. Cameras down that backline. I thought that got the

line. It was called out. I suspect that is going to be a very good

challenge from Lin Dan. Here we go. Yes. It did catch the line.

Seven-point advantage for Lin Dan and it is very important that Lee

Chong Wei plays himself into the match. I think a couple of harder

smashes will help release the tension. He is obviously very

nervous. When you are nervous it is the touch

shots that go first. That is where you start making the errors.

The battle of the net play was won by Lee Chong Wei.

Another one taking with the sideways drift.

Good smash. I think Lin Dan was waiting for the crosscourt smash. He

seemed to be slow to react to that one.

Incredible net play. I was saying it is difficult to control the lift off

the tape spinning shot. That was a delicate little block.

Good decision from Lin Dan. It was pressure play with the drop shot.

Great backhand. Good aggression. That was from Lin Dan.

Two points away from this opening game. For the two time defending

champion. That was a nice variation, wasn't

it? The last time was the splash around they had possession, the next

was the smash down the line. Across the court.

Fabulous! Patient play from Lin Dan. And given the right opportunity, he

pounced. Look at that. Magnificent. Five game point opportunities. For

Lin Dan. The court is being mopped by the court attendant. It is an

opportunity to calm down, use the towel and take on some Likud.

Lin Dan is not happy with the job the court attendant has done.

Five game point opportunities for the five-time world champion.

He only needed one. A fantastic opening game. From the reigning

champion, Lin Dan, of China. 21-15, the opening game. 24 fascinating

minutes. He waits and waits during the rallies, Lin Dan, for the right

opportunity and that when he unleashes his attacking play, it is

lethal. The opening game to Lin Dan, 21-15. One game to do good for the

defending champion, Lin Dan, of China. Against the man he defeated

in the last two Olympic finals, Lee Chong Wei of Malaysian. That was

nice aggression. We will see more attacking play from the Malaysian.

There has been questions about Lin Dan's explores a style of play that

we have seen in the past. He is 32 years of age and he plays a more

conservative style nowadays and sometimes he struggles with the

speed and agility that we have so admired in the past. That is not to

say he can not still do it but it does not do it as often as they used

to. That was off the top of the tape from Lee Chong Wei.

The pace is being dictated at the moment by the Malaysian.

The lift was a little short. And that goes down as a bad miss from

Lin Dan. Watch where his feet when he plays this. Near the back of the

court but that clearly was white. -- out wide.

That was an opportunity missed by Lee Chong Wei. He had read the

crosscourt shot and all he had to do was a little straight block and Lin

Dan would have struggled to get there in time.

That is an opportunity missed from Lin Dan. That is unlike Lin Dan.

That is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The keywords are reading

the drop shot and taking the shuttlecock early. Watch the racket

preparation from Lin Dan. That is delightful, that at the back

shuttlecock, it is upside down and spinning ferociously.

That was almost a great defensive shot from Lin Dan.

I thought that was going wide. Goodness gracious me! How on earth

did he make contact with that? That was an extraordinary attempt at a

shot. Here we go. Look at that. That is not behind the back, it is a full

pirouette as well. That is well wide. What a turnaround

in this second game, from the opening game, where Lin Dan, he

raced into a 9-4 lead. Lee Chong Wei, here in the second, 9-2 lead.

I thought she had got it back. -- he. It is a transformation, isn't

it? Now Lee Chong Wei is dictating the pace and controlling the

rallies, now that he has settled his nerves a bit. In fact, did that come

off the chest before making control of the racquet? He did get it back.

Lee Chong Wei, playing well now in the second game. With that nine

point advantage. Really demonstrating that the net

play is so important, another one that cannot be controlled and hit

long of the backline after good net play.

I was saying that I thought that Lee Chong Wei needed to play with more

aggression, now I think that this man, Lin Dan, needs to counteract it

himself with a few more attacking shots. Good net play. Yes, no

mistake this time. The early stages of this second game. He tried

smashing it straight down-the-line and missed it. Look, his feet are we

inside the double service line. Just wide. There is a challenge. A

challenge from Lin Dan, he challenged in the first game and he

was correct. Two challenges per game, so if we go to three games

that will be six challengers... But that is out. You cannot keep your

challenges from earlier games. So the high-speed cameras, looking down

the line, then the instant review judge. Confirming on this occasion

that the line judge was correct. They look at it frame by frame to

determine whether the shuttle was in or out. This is just totally one-way

traffic, isn't it? It is going to make for a very

interesting deciding game, isn't it? All of us neutrals were hoping for

three games. Well Lin Dan strangely seems off the pace in this second

game. The Chinese coaches bench looking a

little concerned. William -- brilliant. Apart from

being a lovely winner that will send a message to Lee Chong Wei, you are

not having the net all to yourself. That is brilliant control.

My goodness me. What on earth was Lee Chong Wei thinking? I wonder, is

that a sign of nerves creeping back into the Malaysian's game?

Lovely. Terrific angle. Sacrificing power for placement. It was not the

hardest smash but it was inch perfect.

That has landed in. Three points away, Lee Chong Wei, from forcing a

third and deciding game. A good rally. All four corners of

the court involved in the rally. That was an ambitious shot to try,

from Lee Chong Wei, wasn't it? Not normally in a match with a scoreline

like this, ten points adrift, you would say there is no way back. But

you never, ever write off Lin Dan. Two points required, for the

Malaysian to take this second game. My goodness me! Where on earth did

that come from? It is not often you see Lee Chong Wei completely

stranded. He had to guess one side or the

other, Lin Dan, because he knew that it was so shot, so game point

opportunities to level the semifinal at 1-1.

Again he is guessing, and he guessed incorrectly. 1-1 in the men's

singles semifinal. Lee Chong Wei, Malaysia, it's back and takes the

second game. 21-11. -- hits back. So, it all comes down to this third

and deciding game. The semifinal of the 2016 Olympics men's singles.

This repeat of the last two finals, played out here at semifinal stage.

Who has got the nerve? There is no questioning the ability or the

desire. Lee Chong Wei, he started and finished that point with a

mouthful of banana! It was the back-end guided shot across court

which did the damage, but he still need to finish it off.

Yes, Lin Dan, found wanting on his defence.

He was off-balance, wasn't he? Late on to that defensive shot, back on

his heels. I suspect there is going to be a

real battle for control of the frontcourt area.

It did not miss by much, did it? The margins between success and failure

at this level are absolutely tiny. Sometimes they can head to the net

and trickle over. Look at that. That is why it is so

difficult to control the lifts. Chopping underneath the ball of the

shuttlecock. Creating the tumble. That was a misjudgement from Lin Dan

because it landed in. He could have played it.

He put his hands on the court suffers and the person with the mob

will come on. It can become slippy. That was courageous from Lee Chong

Wei. He played a net shot off the tape spinning matchup. He had to let

it come out of the tumble before he tried to plate and he pleaded

magnificently well. It was so tight and he went on for the kill.

That is the injection of pace and a brilliantly laid by the defending

champion. That is the sort of style that took him to two gold medals at

the last two Olympic Games. Lin Dan getting the better of the

net, forcing that chocolate and it happens times again. It was a tape

spinning their chart, short lift, feet in the half-court area when he

played that smash. Nowhere near the back of the court.

At the net again and another short lift.

Time and time again that the rallies are set up with the net play.

Together, slicing across the feathers. That glancing blow across

the line, the flight the shuttle. It had extra spin and extra resistance

to the ear so the next elevation was quicker. -- the deceleration. The

shuttle just seemed to die. Four straight points.

That is about the first body smash we have seen all match, isn't it? It

is a nice abbreviation. In singles, you want to move your opponent out

wide, they can get downloads from you smash down the tramlines. And

occasionally using the body smash is an excellent idea.

Crosscourt aggression from Lee Chong Wei. Lin Dan has bound the forehand

side of his opponent in the hope that the Malaysian will pay it

straight because it comes to the forehand side of Lin Dan, being the

left-hander. It is a standard set play for the left-hander to play

down the forehand side. It is the longest rally of this

deciding game, I'm sure. That is the body smash once again.

As the match clock ticks over the one hour mark, the Malaysian has the

one-point advantage. More banana. Keep the energy levels up. That was

the longest rally of this deciding game, 50 shots.

He was ready to pounce, was Lin Dan. I think his physical presence... He

stays where he has, he does not go back to the base position. He was

waiting for the second net shot in reply. His physical presence forcing

his opponent into an error. My goodness. He is frustrated with

that. It look to me like there was hesitation.

It is the half smash from Lin Dan around the hip position that is

doing the damage. He is talking to his coaches, need to get that angle.

No pace on the shuttlecock for Lee Chong Wei to feed off what his

defensive shot. There playing its loosely.

He wasn't ready. Lin Dan will have to serve again. He played to the

pace of the receiver in the sport of badminton because the receiver must

be stationary and ready to receive. This is the first challenge from Lee

Chong Wei in the match. He felt that was long of the back line. The line

judge was tentative with his call. That looked as if it caught the

line, to me. Yes indeed, it did. The line judge was correct.

So, just one challenge remaining. For Lee Chong Wei, in this deciding

game. Absolutely took that rally to his

opponent, Lee Chong Wei, pushed him and pulled him, waited until he was

out of position, then went for the crosscourt winner. We could not have

scripted this any better, could we? 1-1, 10-10. Look at that. And even a

diving Lin Dan, the man who really made the diving defensive shot his

own, all the top players do it now. He is really not happy with the

court attendant, the amount of mopping that is being done.

Delightful. Absolutely delightful. And it is the defending champion who

will have the advantage at the change of ends in this third and

deciding game. Lee Chong Wei, backing off, thinking it is going to

be a lift. It could not be closer. One point in it at the change of

ends in the decider, and that is all there is.

I think he is worried about the drift. He played better from this

end, Lee Chong Wei, in the second game, so should not be worried about

that. May want to get some more liquid to

their man. The tournament referee must bring on any fresh bottles of

water. Ready to pounce. The psychological

games continue, because the last point of the first half of this

deciding game, he was left stranded at the net. That is sending a clear

message to say, you won't do that to me again, I am ready to pounce this

time. That is brilliant, from Lin Dan. The

push deep into the forehand corner of Lee Chong Wei. And it is a

dangerous thing to try, across court. Call us that straight smash

of his. -- because of. Well, they look to his coaches, what

was he expecting on the return of serve there? Most of the time it is

likely it will be played back to the net, like that one. Yes, good angle.

The tighter it is the more one favours the mental strength of Lin

Dan. First service fault of the match.

Mike Wright from Great Britain called the service fault for a

double action. I didn't see it there.

It's all coming down to character and nerve. Yes,

nerves one hour and 12 minutes this match has been in progress.

It has gone wide. All level once more.

My goodness. An unforced error from Lin Dan. Is he feeling the nerves

also? He is a man on a mission to create history, no badminton player

has ever won a gold medal at three consecutive Olympic Games. To give

himself a chance to do that he has got to come through this semifinal.

The nerves are jangling with both players.

There is never been more than two points in it, this deciding game.

You could have heard a pin drop during that rally. Silence. The fans

holding their breath. A real physical effort from Lee

Chong Wei to move to what we call the round the head position. The

backhand corner. But the physical effort was worth it because he was

able to play with a normal overhead action. Another very, very good wadi

smash. -- body. Two points away, the first time

there has been a 3-point difference between these great players. He is

two points away from a third consecutive Olympic Men's Singles

final. My goodness. We said it might come

down to nerves. This next rally is a huge point, the

psychological difference between 18-19 or 20-17 is huge. And it is

20-17. Because Lin Dan has made an error on his net shot. Match point

opportunities for Lee Chong Wei Malaysia.

Problems controlling the spinning net shot. One opportunity, and gone.

One match point saved by Lin Dan. Shot. Yes, a second match point is

saved by the two time and reigning Olympic champion.

Third -- will it be third time lucky for Lee Chong Wei?

Three match points saved by Lin Dan. The Chinese fans on their feet. He

was so out of position in that rally early on, was Lin Dan. How on earth

he got himself back into that I do not know. You regrow. How did he get

that? How on earth did he keep that rally going?

Both of them at full stretch. 20-20 and we will require extra points

until there is a clear two point winning margin.

What an incredible match. Is Lin Dan going to deny the Malaysian once

again? It is going wide. A fourth match

point opportunity for Lee Chong Wei, the world number one.

done it Lee Chong Wei has beaten his nemesis, Lin Dan from China. He has

beaten him in the semifinal, he reversed the result of the last two

Olympic finals. He held his nerve, Lee Chong Wei. There will be no

third gold medal for Lin Dan. The men embraced. They are very good

friends off the court. They will exchange shirts. What wonderful

sportsmanship. What wonderful sport. Simply magnificent Men's Singles

semifinal. One hour and 22 minutes. Delightful play. Malaysian former

players, supporters and team-mates. Lin Dan seemingly invincible in the

Olympic Games has been beaten by the Malaysian, Lee Chong Wei. 1521,

21-11, 20 2-20 in the deciding game. ODE: We need to take a breather

after that. What a sensational game from both players. Lee Chong Wei

into the final and has the chance to go for gold, changes the record

after being twice in the last Olympics beaten by Lin Dan. I

enjoyed that sweaty embrace, I do not know about you, that was

something. We are going to get to the golf in a moment and see how

Charley Hull and Catriona Matthew are getting on. We have a

demonstration coming up. After Rio, as they are coming towards the end

of these games, we go to Tokyo, here is something of what is in store in

Japan in four years' time, courtesy of the...

This is for the people watching the BBC.

Let's go, to Tokyo. Let us go, to Tokyo.

Thank you so much. My goodness me. The Olympics just peaked on day 14,

round of applause for these guys. Just a little window into what we

can look forward to in four years' time. Thank you, gentlemen.

Origato.. Let us top golf. If we can recover our composure. Charley Hull

at the start of the day was two shots behind the leaders. How is she

getting on? Do you have any dancers with you? I do not have any damsels

and feel like I am missing out. Where are my dancers when I need

them? We have got codes appearing here on the ultimate day of the

golf. 12,000 spectators came down to watch Justin Rose win the gold medal

a couple of days ago. The expectation was very low for Olympic

golf and into these games. The women are following suit. This is the

first key behind me and the galleries are filling up as we get

towards the business end. Huge cheers every time a Korean player

heads off, five of the world's top ten and four of them are competing.

Let us look at the leaderboard and see why the Koreans are out in

force. Inbee Park, seven times major champion leads the way. Stacy Lewis

from the USA, she had 11 birdies yesterday. Look at that from Great

Britain, Charley Hull is tied for third place will stop and for the

first time in a years in women's golf, that means bronze medal

position and into a play-off with Brooke Henderson, the world number

three and is only 18 from Canada. Charley Hull is just a couple of

shots of the lead going into the penultimate round at the women's

golf. Catriona Matthew, just a few minutes ago, she teed off and is

5-under par. She has got some work to do if she wants to piggyback

Inbee Park on 10-under. This is the 46 children from Edinburgh. Steady

back -- steady from her. She went 5-under yesterday. Let us hope

Katrina Matthew can continue to improve. A couple of minutes before

she teed off, take a look at this, the first hole in one in the

competition. When CU of China, on the eighth hole. -- CU Lynn.

Fantastic stuff from China. We had two holes in one any men's

competition. You can follow the golf right the way across the BBC. Let us

go to the live commentary and into the sunshine.

This was for the eagle putt. She could've went into the water and

made par, she was still so close to the green. It did occur to me that

she was so close to the green that she could take a drop. Great shot

from Anna Nordqvist. We did see Lexi Thompson marking the ball close to

the hole. This is Catriona Matthew from Great Britain for a birdie to

get to 6-under par. At the start of the third round. I did that not

drop? It stayed out. After that fine shot from Miriam

Nall, this is fully birdie. That stays it plus 14 sadly.

It has been a feast of birdies against. I did not want to see that.

Like her father Bob has spun out of the hole. It has a Rick O'Shea out

of the hole. The ball was afraid of the dark. Sometimes a golf ball that

that -- defies all logic. Half the ball has went down the hole. And

then it claimed out. That is what the revolutions do on the ball. This

is Simon, the South African. The tee shot on the Plaid Cymru eighth hole.

140 yards today. -- par three. We had the hole in one here of

course. The scoring average will be two point something at the end of

the day. The first of the leading group to

tee off. Just about 25 minutes away. This is In Gee Chun. She made lots

of ground on the field through the back nine yesterday. The first

victory for her on the LPGA to was a major Championship, the US Open last

year. She's only 22 years of age. Look at this. It's got a lovely role

of that little mound to the left of the screen. She will also have an

eagle parts that is free- for we have in the last 30 minutes. How far

has this blog on down here? We will find out. It is somewhere down the

distance that Lexi Thompson head on hard drive that was 220 odd metres.

252. 230 metres. Lexi Thompson was not sure which iron to use. She put

the five iron back in the bag. Possibly going with something

similar. You can see the flag fluttering just

on the left of the television tower. She has got a clear view of her

second shot. It sounded good. He/she also going to be short? It will bowl

on and she will get that kicked off the slope. Putting from an awkward

position. If she gets that par she is only three shots off the lead.

Birdie chance to get to 6-under. That is not going to move from

there. That was a bad read. But it is for par. She went into the bunker

off the tee with the free iron, chipped out and has this for her

third. Running all night and adjust through

the green. -- running on, just through. Could make par here unless

she pulls off a very fine putt for a birdie. Anna Nordqvist, on the par

36. It might have been sneaking just beyond the hole but no. -- par-3

6th. Yes. She needed that. She has gone to plus two and get back to

within one shot of par. Please welcome group 18. From

Chinese Taipei, Candie Kung. From India, Aditi Ashok. From Australia,

Minjee Lee. Tied for eighth place, Minjee Lee, and Candie Kung, first

to go, tied for fifth place at the moment, just off the lead. Candie

Kung, two professional 15 years ago, has the phenomenal record of making

23 cups consecutively in major Championships from the 2003 British

Open Championship to the 2009 US Open. Four times she played in the

Lexus cup event, a wonderful event. She played for Asia against an

international team. Starting at 7-under par. And... Sand. Next to go

we have a young lady from Bangalore in India. Aditi Ashok, three times

national junior champion of India, 2012-2014, and a national amateur

champion. She has fired consecutive rounds of 68 and 68.

And she is well away. Two professional wins as well, both as

an amateur player. She turned professional on January one this

year. Stay there, stay there are... Goodness.

Minjee Lee, and the users golf balls with number one, she puts on them.

-- only uses. The 20-year-old from Western Australia.

Getting the advantage of the wind but need to make a right-hand

turn... Or a left-hand turn. It is not going to. That is the next best

thing, if it stops, just that little lip that kills up. I don't know how

good her stance will be, the left foot could be very difficult with

that. This was the eagle putt after a big drive down the left-hand side.

She will be understandably disappointed with that. A birdie

chance, I am not sure... Yes, it is. Two pots for a par after she landed

in the bunker off DT. Put an end to any realistic hopes of a birdie.

Now, Simon, I had on the eighth. What are we as soon as she hit it.

-- walked away. Back to the first, another eagle attempt, this time

from Candie Kung. Sorry, In Gee Chun, and she also

will have two settle for birdie. Pleased to start with a four on her

card, she is now 7-under, three short behind the leader, Inbee Park,

20 minutes away. Two groups left, and then we were the golfers in the

field playing their third round. The major champion of the nastier's

US Open. Pilar, she left her eagle attempt very short. -- last year's

US Open. This is about nine or ten feet for the birdie.

Pilar, having married a professional golfer, Martin Pilar, she was

previously known as Mendoza. What a nice putt. OK, it is not an eagle,

but it is a birdie start. She will take that. She was disappointed with

her attempt for eagle but compensated, made a 2-part, got a

birdie. -- made a two-putt. This, to get to 1-under. That'll do. Proving

fertile that hole, for most of the golfers today. This, to remain for

shots off the lead. Not the most convincing but it got

there. Up ahead, to the fifth green. This

is the par-5. Also yielding plenty of birdies today. And there is

another. Now Candie Kung. With her second. About 244 metres. She first

of all has to settle on a club that will get her out of the bunker and

not interfere with that lip. Classic situation where you have to

sacrifice length to play the right shot. Plenty of fairway in front of

her down the left-hand side. She is not in any real trouble of dropping

a shot. Good, safe shot. Down and threw the ball. Making sure

it will fly well clear of the lip. As we mentioned, the issue here is

the stance, but Minjee Lee is teetering on the edge. Teetering on

the brink, you are right. She has a shot, but how will she will be able

to retain her balance is... Oh, that is not too bad, in the end.

You are comfortable with your stance? This is OK. Yes, yes.

Maybe have a couple of practice swings, just to get the balance, the

reaction... Her caddy is a professional golfer himself on the

PGA Tour of Australia. He would be perfect in situations like this.

Good player, he has played a lot in Korea and dropped into Japan now and

again. Second shot for Minjee Lee on one. You see the position of her

feet? She said, I am not sure how much I can get down the fairway. But

she has done well. Lexi Thompson has been in the water again... Well, I

don't think she went into the water and three, she might have, but she

has been in the water on five. She hits the ball prodigious distances

but that is her third shot. She is safely on, that is for a birdie on

the fifth. A wet birdie. Amazing. The longest driver on the course

yesterday. Second at the 2nd hole, good stuff. I think you might be

right, if she went into water on the third she could have dropped that. I

did see, at the end of the Lydia Ko putt, when the camera moved across,

she was very close. As humanly might have been her fourth shot. Please

welcome the players of group 19. From Canada, Brooke Henderson. 18

years of age, from Canada. From Norway, Marianne Skarpnord. From

Denmark, Nicole Broch Larsen. This group is all about the Northern

lights, Canada, Norway, Denmark. And all of them were on fire yesterday.

Brooke Henderson came home in 31 on the back nine. Yes, 18 years of age,

Henderson, the winner of the KPMG woman's PGA Championship in June.

Her sister, Ellen Brittany, with her, on the bag.

A wonderful 64 in round two. She starts 8-under par. Two from the

lead. Marianne Skarpnord, rounds of 69 and

66. Seven professional wins, three of those on the ladies European

Tour. The last of them, the 2013 South African women's open. Starting

7-under par. Denmark's Nicole Broch Larsen, just

23 years of age. One victory on the LTT in Sweden last year.

Third shot, India's Aditi Ashok, to the first. Just 66 yards to the

hole. That will check so that is for a birdie, round about 14 feet. Up

ahead on five, Lydia Ko on the par-5 5th hole. Third shot.

Candie Kung has been on a bit of a tourist route here, that is her

fourth from the first so she has her work to do for her par. The wind is

starting to pick up on this corner of the golf course, on the first.

Gwladys Nocera is 3-over par, she needs this. Well done.

One more group to go, the final group will be Inbee Park, Stacy

Lewis, Charley Hull. This is now the Australian, Minjee Lee.

Minjee Lee for birdie, looks very good. What a great putt to start,

hence the smile. That really sets you in good stead and good fettle

for the rest of the round, when you sync putt like this. Minjee Lee.

Up on the fifth, Lexi Thompson. She has been in the water so her third

shot, she had a penalty drop. This is a birdie putt and what a bonus

this would be if she could make this putt. It is a right to left but she

gave it a little bit too much borrow. A tap in for her par and she

has escaped there. Back on the first, Candie Kung for par.

The little dance around the hole but that is a safe par in the end.

7-under. The golf ball can do many, many things.

India's Aditi Ashok for birdie. This is at the 1st but it is not to be. I

noticed when the draw was first made, the 60 golfers, she was ranked

58 of the 60 in world rankings and she is in about fourth or fifth

place. Birdie putt for Lydia Ko on the fifth to get to 5-under par.

That is a couple of birdies now on the card for the world number one.

19 years of age. This is Marianne Skarpnord. She has got about 249

yards, 227 metres to the hole. She has been out for a bit of fresh air

and now a very useful gust of wind blowing down the first fairway which

is why we are seeing so many balls in the last hour get onto the green.

And close. I thought maybe with the wind out there and a hybrid, it

could be a bit too much club but... Is she going to stay on? She has. If

it stays like this, it means the wind will be in the 17 and 18. And

two. Correct. Played as the most difficult hole on the course because

of the wind. Second shot for Nicole Broch Larsen of Denmark. She is a

big hitter. She might have too much club here. We will see. I don't

think... Even if you get to the back of the green... No damage done, is

there? No. That wind has really picked up and it is helping. Look at

the flag flapping with the wind directly over their shoulders. There

is the LPGA Hall of Fame, seven time major champion chip winner, Inbee

Park. She is leading the tournament at 10-under par. Brooke Henderson,

what do she go with here? She is going with a hybrid. I presume she

has seen where those two preview shots went. That looks like a three

or maybe a 5-wood. She is 18 years old. She is from Smith falls,

Ontario. Plenty of length, didn't quite get

it right. They bit of work there for a birdie. Now back with Sue 04

birdie. Australian golfer. Thank you very much. We have had a number of

birdies on the ninth today. ANNOUNCER: Please welcome to the tee

the players in group 20. From career, Inbee Park. APPLAUSE

From the United States, Stacy Lewis. CHEERING

From Great Britain, Charley Hull. CHEERING

All set for the final group here at the Olympic women's individual

stroke play event for Round 3 and you can already see those flags, a

lot of Korean flags and they are fluttering in the strong wind that

has now picked up to a significant factor. And here we have the LPGA

Hall of Famer, Inbee Park. Seven major Championships, youngest player

to win the US women's Open. She has had injury problems, injury

concerns in the last year or so and she is now at number five in the

world but she leads this tournament after rounds of 66 and 66. And Stacy

Lewis, two time Major champion. She won the 2011 tournament and the 2013

women's British Open at St Andrews. Yesterday, she shot the most

incredible round of golf, a 63 with 11 birdies.

Stacy Lewis begins this third round at 9-under par, one back from Inbee

Park. Around the bunker and safe. The final player to go... Britain's

Charley Hull, 20 years of age. She was home-schooled, she left school

at 13 and home-schooled so that she could further her prospects in golf.

Wonderful commitment by her and her parents and family. She is tied for

second this year in the first Major, the a and a inspiration. Charley

Hull of Great Britain is off with United States' Stacy Lewis and Inbee

Park of Korea. What a thrilling day of golf we have here at the Olympic

Golf Course in Rio de Janeiro. Up ahead on the green, this is Marianne

Skarpnord of Norway and this is the eagle. Her second helped by the

strong wind, it helped her to the back of the green. We haven't seen

many putts from here today. The early starters did not have the

advantage of the strong wind. That will work nicely. What a very, very

good putt from Marianne Skarpnord. You can give her that for a birdie

start. Up ahead on seven, Suzann Pettersen, this is for birdie for

her fifth birdie of the round. She makes it. She is on fire. She has

that putter working, that is how she's making her move today, through

the club she has in her hand today. That will do the confidence of Ariya

Jutanugarn in the world of good. Two putts for eagle from the back of the

green, this is Nicole Broch Larsen. She would've had a bit of a read

from Skarpnord's putt, Marianne Skarpnord's putt. Expect this to be

close. It has got a bit of a tail on it.

To the sixth and Lydia Ko for birdie. This is the par-3, 170 three

yards. Two birdies today for Lydia. -- 173 yards. That was a big putt

for Lydia Ko and it will give her a huge jolt of confidence. Consecutive

birdies for Lydia Ko. Brooke Henderson of Canada, didn't quite

get to the back of the green with his second. That is all right, she

still has this. It is his third shot, the flag is really fluttering

strongly. This wind has picked up and it will make the 17th and 18th

more difficult prospects. Well, might have done a bit better.

She read this as a right to left from where she was standing. You can

see the problem there, that mound. That is the problem, didn't give it

enough, it was never high enough coming over that mound.

And Eagle putt here on five. Kim Sei-young. We have seen a number of

Eagle putts here, probably getting up to half a dozen at the 5th hole.

They slightly downhill lie here for Inbee Park on the first. This is her

second shot. What she does so well is keep the ball in play. She plots

her way around the golf course so well.

Li Ping putter head. -- the pink putter head. Very distinctive full

Brooke Henderson. She is in a run of birdies. Four yesterday, this is for

five in a row. In theory! It's a bit like a hat-trick. She will have to

settle for par, she finished sixth. Birdies at 15, 16, 17 and 18

yesterday. She is within two shots of the lead. Marriage over Ribery --

Marajo Uribe. Nice putt, plenty of speed on it as well.

Now Nicole Broch Larsen for birdie, who yesterday had a round of 68.

Ended with a par yesterday, but better today. Just quietly going

about her work, the Scandinavian woman.

Now Stacy Lewis, who was the star of the second round and the style so

far this Olympic women's golf Championship. 11 birdies. Bogey,

double bogey and a few pars just to keep everybody happy. At the end of

it all, 63. I guess that stands as the women's course record here. 220

metres from the pin. Just try to cut that in. I think

she's done a good job. I have a feeling that the wind down there at

the hole is more of a crosswind. These balls are being held up in the

wind as they get near that mound. That is the drill from her caddy.

Going with an iron here. That is rather good. She, too, is

through the back with an iron. That tells you how strong this wind has

got up. And on, and on, and on. She's got some work left from there.

The thing is, you probably do need a birdie here because you're back into

the wind on this very long par-4, 396 metres. We are at the 3rd now,

302 metres. This long par-4, into the wind

today. Going back to ward the clubhouse. It catches that fairway

bunker. Just look at that flag. The wind has picked up in the last 40

minutes. Second shot. Ariya doesn't have a driver so she probably went

with a 3-wood over 200 metres. I think if this wind persists and get

a little stronger it is about how these goals can keep the ball in

play and improper positions. -- how these girls. -- and in proper

positions. Nicole Broch Larsen. Rounds of 69

and a very, very decent 66 yesterday. Her golf swing was in

good sink yesterday. We go to the second hole, 398 metres.

I have no doubt there will be days here when the winds in the city are

fierce and this would be a monster of a course to play. The wind is

coming straight off the Atlantic Ocean. The first piece of land that

they hit is this golf course. This is why Inbee Park plays such

strategic golf, such successful golf. She's always playing from the

right place. You very rarely see Inbee Park in

areas of the golf course that she shouldn't be. That's an area she

wants to be in with about a 15 inch putt for birdie at the 1st. It's

just a metronomic process by which you see Inbee Park.

Stacy Lewis would have benefited from seeing that ball of Inbee Park,

how she played it, where it landed and how it finished. Stacy Lewis,

third to the first. Didn't get the nip or check that we

saw from Inbee Park. The difference is one is a ten foot putt, one is

less than two feet. Oh, dear. Problems here for Aditi Ashok of

India. This is her fourth shot because she hit her second into the

hazard, into the water. Oh, well done. That's a good recovery. She

needs that for a bogey five. She's got to drop at least one here. An

interested spectator is not even watching at the back there, is he?

It's lunchtime. He probably didn't want to watch that putt drop,

either. At the back of the green here on the first, Charley Hull of

Great Britain. We've seen very few shots from here, haven't we, from

the first three days until the last half an hour. It is becoming a

popular landing place, trying to get up and down here to get your birdie.

The green is pretty straight up there, isn't it? A pretty

straightforward shot there, according to her caddy.

The green is pretty straight. It is, and yet we saw the putts, the two

previous putts go dramatically left at the tail getting up to ward the

hole. Can you see that? It just started to go. That is a putt.

Charley Hull will have. I like the pace with which Charley please. The

hottest player on the golf course, or one of them. Suzann Pettersen,

second to nine. She is 6-under par, five birdies on the card.

We've seen some really hot scoring on this front nine. The Australian

golfer Oh has had six on the front nine.

11 birdies in a round of golf from Stacy Lewis yesterday. She may never

have another round like that with 11 birdies. To do it at an Olympic

Games, and it means so much to her to be competing here at the

Olympics. She was asked at a press conference before the game started,

how do you compare a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games with a major

Championship? Her answer was very simple. "There Is no comparison."

For her, this is it. An Olympic gold. I think it's fair to say that

the women probably put more value on an Olympic Gold Medal than the men,

which is one of the reasons why none of the top 30 women here have pulled

out. Charley Hull, this will birdie at the 1st.

There is a major Championship look about this leaderboard. Right in the

thick of it is young Charley. Starting at 8-under par, this to get

to 9-under. Oh, a good putt. A right to left. A good, solid,

authoritative putt. Charley Hull starts with birdie.

Inbee Park, this is inside two feet. It will be just a real study today

to watch how Inbee Park plots her way around this golf course. Just

the most wonderfully phlegmatic character. Nothing seems to ruffle

her. She plays at concert pace and tempo. -- constant pace. How will

she cope with the wind if it gets stronger and stronger?

STUDIO: this is a birdie for our leader Inbee Park. She needs to

11-under par and is clear the field. A birdie as well for Charley Hull,

the early nerves settled. The wind has picked up. We saw Charley go

right through the back. Perhaps she is learning how to cope with the

conditions as she heads over to the second. She did say to me yesterday

that she hoped the wind picked up because she plays well in the wind

and rain and that would give her an advantage. Charley Hull setting out

with intent. Two shots off the lead. A little bit tricky going for

Catriona Matthew, her team-mate. She bogeyed the second so she is now six

shots back. We will keep you up to date with how Charley and Katrina

get on. You can head out back to the live action or follow it with the

BBC sport up or online. For now, back to you, Ore.

We will see how Catriona Matthew gets on. What about Charley Hull? 22

years old and experienced beyond her years. She might need all of that

experience if she is to come away with a Gold Medal. Things are

warming up, time to get some water. In the K1 200 metres we have Heath.

Liam Heath is riding a crest of a wave right now in the flat water of

the Lagoa Stadium lake after the sensational silver that he won

alongside Graham Schofield yesterday afternoon.

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

start very strongly indeed. Peter Schofield left a little bit behind

of the start. Germany are trailing at the moment. Looking very good

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

stages. The British are in third position. Now they start to

accelerate. He's an Schofield level up. Still be Spaniards who lead. The

gold goes to Spain. A slow start for Heath and Schofield but they believe

where others might not have done. They've got the Silver Medal.

What was the feeling when you cross the line? So fast and furious, you

just keep your head down and go for it. How satisfying is it now to grab

that medal? It is a much nicer colour than last time! This guy is

absolutely on fire, he has been killing me in training. I just don't

want to let him down because he is the best guy out there. He has

already had a sensational week, it was his birthday a few days ago. Now

on the Lagoa Stadium late, he has to do it all on his own. It is time for

the heat in the K1 200 metres. Let's see if he can get an even better

than he did yesterday. COMMENTATOR: Ten seconds to go until

the third heat of the K1 200 metres. 34 seconds, that is all it is going

to take. Some 90 strokes from start to finish and Liam Heath in Lane 7.

A very good start from him, now he has to settle in. Looked like a tiny

loss of balance from him but still going well. Good start from the

Lithuanian. Liam Heath safely in the lead at the moment, it is all about

the top five position. Keep an eye on the clock. He is going to be a

very similar time to the faster so far, 34.2 two -- 30 4.22.

Just a couple of hundreds outside the time set by the Hungarian

paddler in the second heat. Liam Heath safely through to the

semifinals. Ecuador, Russia, Serbia, represented. Germany in Lane 4. Liam

Heath in Lane 5. Mark de Jonge, the current world champion from Canada,

will he make it through to the finals?

It is essentially about making it through to the final. Not a good

start from Liam Heath. He is left behind is certainly by Spain and

Germany. A much better start and now we start to see Liam Heath wind it

up. He gets into that forward position, the baseball cap in

reverse, I don't know whether that adds anything to his performance.

There is nothing between those two. It is all about the first four

positions going. Liam Heath just easing up, lunges to try to get top

spot. Liam Heath would have had a little scare at the start, he

must've been in eighth position out of eight but he showed what he can

do between 50 and 100. Certainly, didn't have a great start but he

picked it up. Not a bad time but he certainly will be looking to sort

out that start. That was a quicker time than he did in the heats

earlier on. He had to work very hard for it. A good time from him,

certainly, without getting that good start. He had to work extremely

hard. We saw another kick in. He really accelerated in the last 20

metres out. But you don't win Olympic finals with a bad start, is

that going to just disrupt his confidence a little before tomorrow?

I don't think so because it showed how dominant he was. Craviotto was

the one on gold in the K2 ahead of him yesterday and so it just showed

how dominating he is. Yes, you will want a better start but what it

shows is that mental strength as well as physically, that it didn't

bother him and he just got involved in the race and took it all the way

to the finish line. That slow motion showing what strength he has, the

forearms and the shoulders and so much of the power comes an seen as

far as we see it but it is coming from the abs and the legs that are

doing just as much work and it is the connection between the lower and

upper body that Liam Heath has mastered. Many paddle the year after

year and they never get the feel that these top athletes have got.

The job is half done. He has got a silver medal from the K2 yesterday

and now he is into the H final of the K1 200 metres, a title Britain

took with Ed McKeever four years ago. You have to feel sorry for him

that he didn't even qualify for the Olympics this time, but we have seen

why, because Liam Heath is the number one.

I think the excitement will build over the next 24 hours as we wait to

see whether he can add another metal and I believe Liam is now with

Richie. The first heat looked very

comfortable, how much tougher was the semi? The first heat was very

controlled, the semi was also comfortable and controlled. The wind

picks the water up quite a lot in such a big lake so it makes it quite

choppy and you just have to keep controlled and calm and try to grip

the water as best you can and get to the finish line, basically. We look

at how important the start is in these short distances, is the start

so critical for you, if you miss a beat, how hard is it to claw that

back? Races are won in thousands of a second so you really have to be on

the buzzer when the gate drops but it is more important, I think, to

have a solid, consistent start, to have a solid, consistent start, the

separates up, because it isn't just the start the finish, but also the

bit in the middle where you get the fast times and gain ground. We hope

you recover 100% and are ready to go tomorrow.

Liam Heath is on fire, incredible stuff powering into the final of the

men's K1 200 metres and he has laid down the gauntlet for the women.

Going in the K for 500 metres is Jessica Walker, Rachel Cawthorn,

Louisa Gurski and ready Simon let's go back down to the lake.

Away we go, 1000 metres, it is fast and furious, just over the three

minute mark expected for the time. Kazakhstan, France and Poland in the

far lanes. Belarus in five, next door to Poland and then Great

Britain in six, with New Zealand in seven and Argentina in eight and

Great Britain once again getting a dreadful start. They got out, the

initial start was OK but they seem to have lost ground already. Belarus

getting out very fast. New Zealand crew really benefited from the extra

bonding that has come from Carrington's success. Through their

go and it is Belarus, New Zealand, Poland, the leading three teams in

the early stages. New Zealand now starting to turn it on. They look

great in that black hulk but still trailing. You can relax because

everyone is going through to the semi, unless you win, and then you

are going straight through to the final. Belarus starting to find

their rhythm and looking very smooth indeed. The Belarussians now taking

it out, the crew of New Zealand have decided they are not going to get

through. Their strike rate has really gone down, they want to make

sure they have enough in debt tanks for the semifinals. A sensible

tactic, they knew they would have to push too hard and maybe they could

have one like it but the risk was too high. You don't want to be

pumping any muscles in the body with lactate at this stage when you only

have 55 minutes before you race again in the semifinals. Let's hope

Great Britain were playing it tactically as well. I'm not sure

they are. Rachel Cawthorn in her races, unable to stay the pace over

the first 250 and then you are struggling from their morning.

Fingers crossed that the British four can raise their levels in the

semifinals in an hour's time. And here is the line-up for the

second semi. And we have six crews involved, one of which is from Great

Britain. Jessica Walker, Rachel Cawthorn, Revie Simon, Louisa

Gurski, trying to salvage something from what has been a disappointing

regatta from them. So, just a few moments before the

moment of truth for the women's K4. Germany are in this semifinal, as

our Poland, as are Serbia and Canada. It is an incredibly tough

semifinal and Great Britain in Lane 6. Walker at the front of the boat,

Cawthorn, then Simon and Louisa Gurski, the power at the back of the

boat. They have to get a better start than they got in the heat if

they want to qualify in the top three. But they benefit from being

in the second semi because they have more rest.

They have a much tougher semifinal in this one. They will know what the

drawing in and they know they have to be in the top three but it is

going to be very tight. You talked about the New Zealand K4 benefiting

from the success of Carrington, will be British female paddlers and a

threat from the success of the men? The whole squad will, but they need

to get their own success within their group. This is their last

chance, the semifinal of the Olympic K4 500 metres. They have to get it

right off the start. They are in Lane 6, in the black hulled boat,

second from this side. Rachel Cawthorn, who has already raised in

the K1. Top three essential if they want a place in the capital a final

tomorrow. Watch the start, that looks a little better from the

British four. Still, Germany edge ahead. Germany streaming away down

the course. Germany looking good, Serbia on the inside of Great

Britain in Lane 7. Also looking not too bad. Poland looking strong as

well as Canada. It will be very tight, Great Britain up there at the

moment. Germany leading the way. Serbia have gone well. Great Britain

sandwiched between two team is performing well. Poland in Lane 4,

just on the far side of Germany, they would certainly expect to go

through in the top three. The French are already out of this, Canada

certainly are not, they are moving up into second position, head of

Poland. Germany still lead. Great Britain in fourth. Remember only the

top three go through. Serbia starting to drop away and it will be

between Great Britain and Poland for the final qualifying place. Germany

are going through, no doubt. Now Britain start to raise their game.

This is the first sign of what they can do, looking good as they come

into the last 100 metres. It is between Great Britain and Poland.

Germany are secure and a last gasp from the Canadian team on the far

side, they look strong. Nothing between third and fourth at the

moment. Great Britain have an advantage of six inches. Germany

take the victory and Great Britain are through. They have an A final

position. That was the goal today and now they can start to focus on

the capital a final. That will give them a massive boost. They may not

be in for the gold medal but if they can race against Poland and Canada,

who knows, a bronze medal might be a possibility.

That is certainly where they expect to be. They got their stuff

together, a fantastic performance from the four of them. That will

give them great strength going into tomorrow's final. There are the

winners, Germany go through as the favourites. New Zealand might argue

with that having won the first semifinal. But Great Britain with

walk and Crowthorne didn't look good in the heat. Finally we seen some

potential from them. I think they're going to be an excited crew tonight

as they prepare for the Olympic A final.

Second in that heat with the Canadians. Poland are the team that

have missed out, 1.2 behind. A margin of 1.3 seconds between third

and fourth. That doesn't sound like too much, but it is comfortable in

an event like this. Germany were dominant. Looking at the time,

1:34.7. That is going to be a tremendous battle. New Zealand will

be the outsiders, I think Germany have more to give. They will be

really pushing it against the Hungarian crew. They will be looking

to try and get that title back again that they have won previously. Great

Britain finishing on an exact tie with Canada. It will be very much a

race for the bronze medal. Hungary were looking strong, Germany looking

strong. But Great Britain have shown what they can do. As we've been

hearing and talking about here, that photo finish, a dead straight line

between Great Britain and Canada. They need to practice the lunch

between now and Canada because that can make the difference between

fourth and third, third and second and of course, second and third. But

I think the gold is going to be fought between New Zealand and

Germany. The two best cruise we've seen so far today. Ukraine maybe

have something extra to give. Congratulations, through to the

final. Just, let's start with you. What a fantastic effort. It looked a

bit dodgy at times because it was a real battle for the third spot. We

were working on our finish. We all believe in each other and we had a

brief before saying if we haven't got to the finish line and we have

regrets and we haven't done what we need to do. We put it out on the

line did what we needed to do. Welcome to the four, how fantastic

was that? My dream was to make the Olympic final. I'm an Olympian now,

officially! That was just amazing. I knew these girls would do everything

to get us into the final. Rachel, I spoke to you yesterday. You talked

about how a lot of focus is on this event and to date. There you go. It

worked out all right. The wind swung around just in time for our racing.

It was a nice tailwind in the morning which turned into a

crosswind, the hardest to control in the K4. When we went through 200 we

picked up and flew on through. I was so confident that we had such strong

finish. It was a handy weapon. Just, when we spoke earlier you mentioned

your fun event that you had fun in earlier in the event. This is the

serious one. This is the one where the pressure is on, but I think

we'll perform well under pressure. The other girls that there was a

crosswind. I was worried about that, but we managed to keep it strong. I

guess we were better than the others. It's been a good couple of

days now for Team GB at Lagoa. Homage and separation did you glean

from yesterday? It was really exciting. I think the whole team,

you could just feel positive energy. We didn't want to look into it too

much. We didn't want to look at the medal and think about that. We

celebrated a little bit and then we refocused on what we had to do. What

were the expectations going into the final tomorrow? To do our best race,

simply. No regrets. We just want to put it out on the line, head down,

go through it and just believe in ourselves. Brilliant, we wish you

the very best of luck. Well done today.

STUDIO: absolutely nothing to lose in that final. A great result from

those goals going into it. Let's talk about some equestrian stuff

because it seems like a long time ago when we saw Charlotte Dujardin

win knight gold medal in the equestrian. Let's go down to the

Deodoro because individual medals will be won in the show-jumping.

What can Nick Skelton do? The good news for these guys is that

today everybody starts from scratch. It is theirs to win and as to lose.

This is a relief because Nick was failing to mean throughout the whole

that he has been getting better as this competition improves. This

fosters so well at London 2012, narrowly missed out. The horse has

been out on injury for the last couple of years but Nick has really

taken his time, used a lots of patience and really come back

fighting at the right time. Let's see how he got on today.

COMMENTATOR: the moment of truth for the 58-year-old he was absolutely

key in Britain's team gold medal four years ago. With the lovely

horse, now 13 years old. What huge supporters the horse's owner has

been to anti-British show-jumping. -- and two British show-jumping.

What is this next 90 seconds going to be?

Nick here just starting off. A huge leap over the water.

Just the last fence to go. He's jumped it! He's inside the time,

he's done it. What a round from Nick Skelton. They have given us the

first clear round and British hopes, could they rise on this final day to

a medal? That was a brilliant round. Absolutely masterly display of

riding from Nick. A big star, tremendous form. He has brought Big

Star here, totally fit, totally sound, everything perfect today.

It's all about management. Nick has waited four years for this round and

he has nailed it. But it is only part of the story. A long way to go.

Nick, you kept saying the horse had that in him. What a fantastic

ground. He jumped unbelievable. About time, wasn't it? Of course, I

looked at it last night and I thought it was big. Then I walked in

and didn't think it was that big. Riding it, it was much bigger than

what it looks. Big and wide out there. He's done great, amazing. A

lot of riders still to come. I think there will be a few clears, to be

honest. It depends what he builds on the next round. At least I am one

third of the way there. Maybe listen to you on the advice of the water

tray because it's a little bit different. I wasn't messing with

that today. I was a little bit close the other day and probably a bit

week off the ground. I was still steady today but I was more

positive. Great, we will speak to you after the next one.

Nick certainly wasn't going to make that mistake twice. Hugely over the

water tray. He is delighted to be still in contention. We have had 13

clear rounds. Sadly for Ben Maher it wasn't a clear round. He had faults

at the combination, but he is through to the next round as well.

It might be more tricky with 13 clears for him to be in medal

contention. But great news but he got through. If you look over my

shoulder that having to build the next course which starts in about an

hour and a half. It'll be interesting to see what they because

13 clears out of 35 is quite a lot more than we thought at the start of

this competition. It will be bigger, bolder and more technical. A, I hope

you can join us again in about an hour and a half.

They can relate plenty to the sport of taekwondo here in Brazil. It has

been taking place in the Carioca Arena 3. Great Britain has some of

the best tae kwon do fighters in the world. Very soon we will see less

tolerant Muhammad trying to better the bronze that he went back at

London 2012. -- Lutalo Muhammad. Our 23rd gold medal of the gains came

from Jade Jones from Flint. COMMENTATOR: lovely block, Jade

Jones from Great Britain is going through. An excellent win. Jade

Jones of Great Britain had to the semifinal. Can she defend her title?

She is in the final. Three times two minutes to decide

the destination of the Olympic gold. The dome is open. She sneaks in,

takes the headshot and plans another. Enormous tension and

rivalry between these two. There is the headshot that puts Gomez back

into this one. This is the battle for gold or silver. Jones picks up

the medal, flicking boot kicked to the bottle. Cancelled out by Calvo

Gomez. A 1-point game. What a match. It is, it's a fantastic match. Great

stuff here, Calvo Gomez absolutely taking the fight to Jones. Jones has

two fightback but it's an open match, and open final and that is

why it's so close. Jones goes for the headshot. An absolute picture

perfect shot. Calvo Gomez rocking. She has to find a way to compose.

This is a real battle. Time for Calvo Gomez to try and do something.

Has it gone? Ten seconds left. Jones takes another. Calvo Gomez on the

back foot. Can she do it one more time? The Welsh wonder strikes gold

again! Double Olympic champion. I'm still young. I'm only 23. To be

double Olympic champion is amazing. I didn't realise how much better I

would feel coming into this. To pull it off, my coach is a psycho! She

has done it again. She is the most successful British athlete in

taekwondo. She could barely believe what she

did last night. A double Olympic champion at such a young age. At the

games, she has been a two of them, she has beaten all before her. Talk

of Tokyo can wait for a moment. Great Britain's Lutalo Muhammad did

well back at London, only one defeat on his way to a bronze medal. He has

fond memories of London. Going into your first Olympic Games

in your hometown, you just wanted to be smooth sailing and enjoy it. I

was under a tremendous amount of pressure.

COMMENTATOR: Lutalo Muhammad who was making headlines in the build-up to

his games over his selection ahead of Aaron Cook.

To have the political situation, how tough was it? There was a lot of

stuff on social media,
