Day 14 BBC Four: 16.00-19.00 Olympics

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, I had to shut

that down. The media, the newspapers. It wasn't particularly

positive about me. It wasn't nice to go in under that kind of pressure.

We never really had a relationship before London. I can't say we have

one now. It is the biggest rivalry in our sport and I relish it. It is

a huge fight every time it happens. We are opposite sides, it could

happen. We would meet in the final if we were to meet. That is

incredibly exciting. I'm going to do my job, we will see if he can do

his. I remember very clearly being on the podium in London 2012. The

gold medallist in front of me thinking, well, I will have to read

four years before I get another opportunity to feel what he is

feeling right now. -- have two weight.

He is simply one of the best fighters in the world. Ollie

Williams has been keeping his eye on him over the last few years. Before

we talk about Lutalo Muhammad, you have been in close quarters with

Jade Jones and she is still on cloud nine. Of course. Double Olympic

champion. To be the number one as far as anyone is concerned for eight

years is still a huge achievement. This morning I spoke to her. I think

they were intensely impressed by her achievements. She is casually

chatting about how she loves the sport because you can be knocked out

in a split second. Marcus Ellis' face when she said you could be

knocked out in a split second. I said to him, stick with badminton!

We have got some burgers, the queue is quite long. We have got time!

They will want to at least equalise the medal tally. They would love to,

taekwondo is a growing sport in the UK, been doing so well over the

years, particularly in the weight category, 80 kilo men. Mohamad can

never get a break and this time around, he has had to fight against

Damon Sanderson, who is right up with him in the British team. They

have always complained that you can only send one per country. Now you

are back to having Kenny versus Skinner, but in taekwondo, you can

only send one. Lutalo Muhammad gets to come, but Damon Sanderson

doesn't, that is how tight it is to get into this team. Great Britain

has so many potential fighters as well. Lutalo Muhammad of London and

Great Britain in this opening last 16 match. Let's go into Carioca

Arena 3 because this bout, Lutalo Muhammad is taking on Hayder Shkara

of Australia. There will be nerves going into this one but let's see

how he gets on in his first bout at Rio 2016.

Great Britain in the blue, Australia in the red, here we go.

A great start that Great Britain would have wanted. Sweep kicks

Willey points for the kick to the head. Gauged the distance perfectly

straightaway. Thought he had another one, I think it missed the head and

came down on the body. He looks to the crowd and the fans as he scores.

He is bringing something very different to the match. Lutalo

Muhammad of Great Britain. It seems Lutalo Muhammad has got his distant

straightaway. They shot to the body, doesn't count this time. Just

waiting for the attack, waiting to counter. Going further head. --

going for the head. They have had a minute to get the

feel for the force that is coming out here. The Australian coach

always has plenty to say. He continues to yell out and his man

continues to struggle. Goes down but there will be no score there. Caught

off balance with a leg in the air. You are likely to go to ground. An

attempt at a double kick to the head from Lutalo Muhammad but it didn't

come off. He will get another point, though. A point to the opposition

for the same thing. There are the points for the head

kick again. He was off-balance but he scored from it. All of a sudden,

it is 8-0, the 26-year-old Australian being outclassed. A

flying force from Manchester, Lutalo Muhammad and what a lead he takes to

the first sit down. 8-0 and again, he looks to the crowd and pumps the

fist. He is loving it out there. He looks by far the more superior

fighter. Playing a really good game here. Picking off his opponent when

he needs to. Shkara struggling to block and defend. Muhammad looks

like he is going for the body shot and at the last second, changes it

to a head shot. Just blocked that time by the shoulder of Shkara. He

just went at him and did not stop. Hayder Shkara was born in Australia

to a Japanese mother, he says he always feels he has been a bit

different to everyone else, always struggled to fit in. Showing the

community, Islamic and Arab community, no matter what their

position and background, what you can achieve by hard work. Certainly

hard work out there for the Australian at the moment. Can't get

on the school board. Shkara will need to step up now if

he is going to try to catch the lead Muhammad has. 8-point deficit. So

feisty from Muhammad, really attacking all the time, keeping

Shkara on the back foot, timing is impeccable.

Muhammad doing well to stay on the mat there. The Australian taking the

middle of the mat, coming at his opponent. Hayder Shkara continues to

work, he is not giving it up, that is the shore. Thought he had a kick

to the head, didn't register. 91 centimetres, six foot three, all

muscle. A power punch to the body but doesn't quite get through again.

Hayder Shkara of Australia really struggling to get anything to

counter right now. Hits to the body from Great Britain. It is hard, you

really have to go with some force. Spinning kick towards the head. This

time he gets through. Within on movement of this bout ending though.

An 11 point lead and Muhammad really going for it. He is well aware he

thinks he has got there with the body shot. Not quite. This won't go

into a third round, another three points therefore Great Britain and

in two seconds, this will be all over. He has been a little bit

early, the headgear goes back on and only momentarily. Lutalo Muhammad

has done it, he has won it easily. That was almost criminal. 14-0.

Great respect for one another. Hayder Shkara went from just being a

sparring partner in London, now, knocked out in the first round.

Let's hope he can come back in four years' time and go a step further

but for Great Britain, Lutalo Muhammad, what a fight, absolutely

outclassed his opponent and he moves forward to the quarterfinal. There

was some injury concerns coming in, he missed last year's will

Championships with a knee injury. He earned Olympic qualification by

winning silver and gold in successive events. He was still

struggling with it and only made one outing this year. He beat Cook in

that one outing. The European Championships. He is fit and

certainly firing. Indeed. Nicely progressed through the round of 16.

14-0. Stopped after the second round. Conserved energy, blow the

cobwebs away and let's see what he can do now in the quarters.

That was the perfect start. Exactly what I wanted, I am here enjoying

myself in this beautiful city. I want to keep doing this. The bronze

medal four years ago, you are hoping for better this time around. I'm

only here for gold. Gold medal or bust. Yeah, yeah. He is aiming for

the top spot and he got off to a winning start down there in Carioca

Arena 3. Nice to get any rustiness and nerves out of the way. Let's go

for a bit of a walk. That final never really in doubt. Fighting an

opponent not necessarily one of the favourites but still if you get to

the Olympic Games, you have to make sure you do the job. You can hear

how confident he is. He says only here for gold. Got bronze last time.

Saw another man on the podium and heard another man's anthem and he

wants to change that this time around. He wants to get a better

result than bronze. There was a big controversy when he became Great

Britain's representative in the 80 kilograms category. The history set

at this weight division nicely. Just a smidgen of controversy. Aaron

Cook, the world number one, heading into 2012, but had a dispute with

the British team and was coached separately. Lutalo Muhammad was in

the British fold, Aaron Cook was not under selectors ended up taking

Muhammad the London 2012 where he got his bronze medal instead of

getting Aaron Cook. Aaron Cook was out of the fold, despite being world

number one. Now, Aaron Cook is coming to Rio 2016, fighting for

Moldova, because Moldova would allow him to compete, he switched his

allegiance, so he is in the other half of this bracket and that means

if they both win all of their contests, the fight for gold here

later wrong, could be, only could be but could be, between two people who

work in this massive fight for selection in 2012. Lutalo Muhammad

was getting hate mail from people, it was a really big deal and they

don't like each other. Lutalo Muhammad has said, they are not

friends. That could be something incredible to watch. He even

considered taking legal action to the court of arbitration for the

sport and decided he didn't want to waste any time and money. It means

he is representing Moldova and he has some scores to settle against

Muhammad and also British taekwondo. There is huge motivation for him to

come here, representing a different country. If he wins gold, it would

be the first gold for Moldova in Olympic history.

Were a thought for Bianca Walkden of Great Britain, also a tae kwon do

fighter. She was the girlfriend of Aaron Cook. Like Ollie said, the two

of them could will meet in the final of this category tonight. It is all

set up. He's got an important fight to get through first, he is taking

on a fighter from Chinese Taipei. He qualified into the quarterfinals of

the World Championship back in 2015. They tricky customer, but as we've

already talked about Aaron has got designs of the gold medal. Let's get

back into that arena. Here he is, happy to be here at the

Olympics for Moldova instead of his birth nation, Great Britain. An

interesting story. Aaron Cook was granted Moldavian citizenship in

April last year following an approach from the billionaire

President of the country's tae kwon do Federation. He has not

represented Great Britain since he was loved "Devastated" -- left

devastated after being overlooked for the London 2012 Olympics. The

controversy raged deep in the UK four years ago as it continues to do

now with Aaron turning his back on his home country and competing for

Moldova. He just missed the medals in Beijing which added to the

controversy around his non-selection. It went to appeal a

couple of times. He wasn't there, he watched on. Now he could be an angry

young man. He has a chance to meet Great Britain in the final of this

man's under 80 kilograms division. It's not all going to be his own

way, Aaron Cook, despite his ability. As you can see, the man in

blue, Liu Wei-Ting from Chinese Taipei will give himself a chance

against Aaron Cook, the Republic of Moldova, in red. Aaron Cook with

something to prove here. Clearly he wants to progress through this

round. Very quick on his feet. The footwork is fantastic, moving

forwards and backwards. Goes for the power punch, doesn't land it.

Nicely covered. Kicks to the head what he fighters are looking for.

They will score three points. Just a single point for a kick to the body,

unless it is a spinning kick. Using that push kick just to gauge

distance. Both counteracting each other.

Wie-Ting. Championship silver and bronze medals. Now we have the coach

of getting involved. Some movement is that could be worth a score, but

it doesn't always happen. On this occasion it is the referee who will

talk to the mat judges. If two of the three have seen something it

will be awarded. Did you see anything? The power punch to the

body was significant. It didn't register. Is that maybe what they're

discussing? Aaron Cook came in at close range. A power punch to the

body. There is your one point. In the early rounds of day three of

Olympic tae kwon do action in Rio 2016, there is much to learn. Aaron

Cook knows all that but he is able to get through. That is the sort of

quality athlete we are talking about. There is no athlete on the

taekwondo match but Polly carries the same motivation that Aaron Cook

does to concede here. -- that carries the same motivation. Another

body shots. Liu Wei-Ting gets inside and we're back to square at the end

of the first round. There will be a warning against Cook. It would lead

to anything before the bell with one second to go. They sit down all tied

up. He didn't necessarily see that coming. A great body shot from Liu

Wei-Ting. We have a game on our hands here. Cook's just conceded

going into this break. Another one of those and he will concede a

point. We can see here from the overhead shot, the distance between

the two fighters. He gets his head round quick. Cook looking for the

spinning kick to the body. He doesn't come off. That fist to the

chest. He did his sea training with a guy called Nick Clegg, the father

of two former international weight lifters. Played for Manchester

United for a period of time. Good to see him giving quality strength and

conditioning advice to Aaron, who does look extremely strong against

the competitor at five inches taller. Round to begin. There is

nothing in this. Aaron Cook is the number two in the world for Moldova,

not his native Great Britain, against Liu Wei-Ting of Chinese

Taipei. Number 15 in the world coming in. He almost got the last

spot. The very last spot was an IC invitations though it was the very

last spot available. -- IOC invitation, so it was the very last

spot available. The footwork from Aaron Cook is

really good. Just moving far enough away so that Liu Wei-Ting can make

contact, but then coming back in. The scores remain at 101. -- at 1-1.

A cracking headshot. Nearly took the had got off Aaron Cook. Liu Wei-Ting

is up 4-1. He had to adjust to headset. You're right, aided nearly

disappear. But really shook him up. He did not want to be in this

position. He pegged himself to be aggressive and get scores on the

board early. In fact, it is the absolute opposite. Liu Wei-Ting did

consider defending this. He has landed two blows for his higher

rated a pendant using this rangy style appears. Two advantages. Cook

goes with a spinning style. Can't quite get it to happen. The

atmosphere is amazing inside the Carioca Arena 3. Everybody is well

aware of the back story for Aaron Cook and how long he has waited to

do this. He will have a minute to wait in a moment before the first

round begins. Goodness knows what's going through his mind. How about

that? Chinese Taipei with the lead, 4-1 at the second sit down. Liu

Wei-Ting is going into the third round not with a nice advantage or

too much of a cushion, it is definitely in striking distance for

Aaron Cook but Aaron is now under pressure. He will need to come out

and show us what he's made of in this third and final round. Needs to

pick up some points. A good attempt at a chop kickabout.

You can't quite hear the words from the coach but the look on the face

of Aaron Cook says this is desperation stages. This is an

interesting moment on the mat, certainly in the preliminary rounds,

as we enter the later stages of qualification on the third day.

Aaron Cook of Moldova with some work to do against Liu Wei-Ting of

Chinese Taipei. Both fighters are very dynamic in their movements.

Coming in with intent. A power punch from Aaron Cook. Doesn't score

again. That one score on the board is from a punch, not a kick.

Spinning movement, tried up but collect nothing. He goes to the

ground and without a penalty goes against Cook. The lead becomes four

now to Liu Wei-Ting. High drama now at the Carioca Arena 3. Again, goes

with the fist and this time does score. He will need a lot of those

in a minute and a half will stop -- in a minute and a half. Back kick

attempt to the body. Doesn't come off. Nice covering from Liu

Wei-Ting. Multiple pics coming in now. Those turning kicks again are

not quite making contact. -- multiple kicks. He is giving away 13

centimetres and having a great effect. He can't get near his man

who is standing in the middle of the mat, defending well. Happy to go up

high and give away the penalty to score. The penalty is there but the

score is not. 6-2 inside the last minute. Aaron Cook, formerly against

Great Britain, the man who was number one in the world at just 19

years of age has been waiting for his opportunity at this level but is

now in all sorts of opportunity. A wonderful manoeuvre from Liu

Wei-Ting, to the head of Cook. 11-2. We get a review. The Moldova coach

has come in, perhaps on Aaron's say-so to review something. He is

claiming it was not a kick to the face. You've got to challenge it.

We're running out of time right now. He also picked up one point from

where he went to ground. Aaron Cook is in real trouble right now. No

time at all for the review to be knocked back. 11-2, and he's only

made scoring contact with his opponent with the power punches to

the body. Spinning and trying to claim points now. The card is gone.

He can't use it. Look at Cook in red, just spinning, spinning. How to

go high quality and has to get high scores. He hasn't been able to get

near his man. He's taken him again. It's got to be all over. Inside the

third round, a 12 point margin is enough and you're looking at it.

14-2, a massive upset on the taekwondo mat. Congratulations to

Liu Wei-Ting of Chinese Taipei. The 21-year-old has beaten Aaron Cook,

the number two in the world. The former world number one, the man who

had so much motivation here. He changed nations to get on the mat.

He wanted gold and nothing less. Unless Liu Wei-Ting continues

through, Aaron Cook's Olympic Games are over right there. Well, great

for Liu Wei-Ting. He goes through to the quarterfinals. Not time to

celebrate, he still has a job to do. He had a height advantage over Aaron

Cook. Aaron Cook could not get close enough. He it absolutely everything

in his third round. He just kept getting counter-attacked. He will be

absolutely devastated. He will sit and wait now to see if there is an

opportunity to come back in the repechage. That will only happen if

Liu Wei-Ting goes through to the final. The chance for gold and

silver are gone. A possible bronze. Possible at best. There have been

some upsets here on the taekwondo mat. No doubt about that, there

always are. That was right up there. A very entertaining bout. Look at

that to finish it off, what a manoeuvre. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Obviously I am happy that I'm here and I had the opportunity to play

it. But, oh my God. I just went down to early with the headshot. It was a

lot bigger and that was the game plan to try and move away and keep

it tight and steel underneath. A couple of shots didn't go my way in

the first little bit and then it's got a head so I had to chase. I just

got caught every time I was trying to spin. I'm gutted. We know for

what she went through in the build-up to London 2012 how

difficult it was and the emotions. How much of that was on your mind

when you came out here? Not too much, I was excited when I was in

the back. I was relaxed and warming up good. I felt really good this

morning. Why did I have a day like that at the Olympics? It is soul

destroying. But I've got to pick myself up and keep trying.

You switched over and are now competing for Moldova, what is it

been like? The disappointment obviously from

London, I was number one in the world and didn't get an opportunity

to fight in London. I didn't see a pathway with Team GB and Moldova

approached us and gave me this amazing opportunity. I feel I have

let everyone down. I am absolutely gutted and I am really sorry because

I know everyone had high hopes and I myself had high hopes and I am

really devastated. Will you be back the Tokyo? We will see. Of course, I

will be back, but this really hurts so it will take some time.

ORE ODUBA: Visibly disappointed there. His Olympics isn't through

just yet because he can go through repechage. He was the second fighter

in that match but as far as shots go, the world number one out, that

is a big one. It is a big one. We talked about Lutalo Muhammad beating

his first opponent, just because you are facing someone in the first

round, doesn't mean they are a pushover and Liu Wei-Ting

demonstrated that perfectly. It wasn't a narrow defeat, it was

pretty comprehensive. You are looking someone who is not unknown

in taekwondo by any stretch, he won the Canada Open earlier this year

but as world number one, you are thinking, I will win this. To go out

there, knowing as we were saying earlier, how much is riding on that,

the rivalry with Lutalo, the dispute with British taekwondo, moving to

Moldova, it is a huge shock and shame them. It could have been an

incredible story and it would have been a sensational showdown in the

final between Aaron and Lutalo. Lutalo I am sure will not mind at

all. He probably will be kept away from looking at the draw. If I was

his coach maybe I wouldn't even have him looking. He does have someone

next to has won two Olympic titles. A veteran of the sport, 37 years

old, be tough for Lutalo. Looking at the other side, with the absence of

Cook, it is a chance. A really good chance and Great Britain have

already won a taekwondo gold in the form of Jade Jones last night. The

22nd on won by Great Britain in these Games. Such incredible range

of sports. We have seen British athletes winning across something

like 22 different disciplines. Obvious ones like athletics but

Babington, Britain don't traditionally win medals in. Boxing,

canoe slalom, and picking up medals in canoe slalom and sprint. These

are sports traditionally, when you move away from London, the sports

outside your home Olympics, it is tougher to win them. Diving,

equestrian. Charlotte Dujardin, we expected to win. Britain picked up a

medal in golf. Gymnastics, expected to win three, picked up seven. Judo,

a sport in the past where you think, are you going to win a medal?

Suddenly, all these sports, including new ones like Rugby

Sevens, are delivering medals. You were tweeting earlier, Great Britain

are winning more silvers at that stage in Rio than they were in

London 2012. Maybe that was the story. As we have seen, although the

medals have maybe been spread a little more between bronze, silver

and gold, they are still picking them up. Greatest overseas Games

ever by Great Britain. You talk about stories that have been picked

up yet, just look at fourth places. You are looking at many more fourth

places, just off the medal table than was the case in London 2012.

Not only are you stacking up medals but also, stacking up the almost

ones, that could be converted next time. Hoping they will be. Great

Britain currently sitting second in the medal table but in a slightly

revised medal table, Great Britain are sitting right at the top. Have a

look at this. This is the statistics of medals won

by all of the nations. We will do anything to find ourselves at the

top of the medal table including warping the facts! LAUGHTER

22 of those disciplines, very few Great Britain do not compete in and

they are picking up medals in almost all the ones they do. It is in

excess of the different variety the US is bringing and if you take

swimming out of the equation... By the way, we are beating the United

States... Look at China, Germany, Russia, these are big countries.

Britain never expects to be fighting against China in a medal table but

they are. Because of the sheer number of sports contributing. Not

because of track cycling on its own or just a couple of sports on its

own, but because almost every sport is chipping in.

Do you reckon they will beat London 2012's tally? I think 24 golds, 23

silver and that leaves about 18 or 19 bronze. I think we could match

London's 2012 tally, it would be phenomenal unprecedented for a host

of going into the next Games. This guy has entertained me no end

over the last week and a half. If you have been inspired, and how

could you not? Here is BBC Get Inspired.

Now we are passing the baton over to you.

Get up, get inspired, and get active.

So many different ways you can do it. Get involved, why not? We have

had an incredible couple of weeks, I'm starting to get emotional. What

are we going to do in a few days' time when this is all gone? We are

going to go back to some badminton right now. A few moments ago, we saw

the world number one in the men's singles going into the final, Lee

Chong Wei of Malaysia beating Lin Dan, the legendary Chinese player.

In the women's singles, the gold medal match, the final, we will see

Carolina Marin of Spain taking PVC and to of India. -- PV Sindhu.

What does PV Sindhu have against Carolina Marin? Because of her

performance in the second game, one feels the momentum is with Carolina

Marin. A very strong start from her in the second game, that run of

points and you have to be careful, the opposition, needs to make sure

that she gets points very quickly. She takes the shuttle so quickly.

PV Sindhu will have to be very aware of that. Carolina Marin raced to an

11-2 lead in that second game and it was always going to be desperately

difficult for PV Sindhu after that. It is effective. I would think it is

a shot not used enough. In the men or the women's singles. Picking the

right time to bring that shuttle into her body. Clever play.

This final has been played at such a pace, great shot and pace of

movement. So good. Just rolls that raced at

the last moment, to keep the shuttle straight down the line. Look at

that. Look at that. It is perfect play, taken so early as well. Nicely

done. It is the natural shot that would have been played crosscourt.

Drawing it straight is very good indeed.

She has upped the tempo even more, Carolina Marin. She has only

recently turned 23 and I have a belief that Carolina Marin will take

the game of women's singles to an even higher level. She has

incredible speed around the court, great movement and she picked up

four quick points because of that, the way she anticipates and finishes

the rally so early. She is dictating the pace,

commanding the rallies, Carolina Marin. PV Sindhu is now having to be

reactive rather than proactive. They are looking a little calmer

now, the Spanish bench. And in contrast... Never usually shows any

feelings at all, looking slightly anxious.

Brilliant. Punched clear, deep into the backhand corner, where she was

equal to it that time, going for the backhand rather than trying to play

around the head and it was so flat, in fact, I don't even know if it was

meant to be a clear. Was it a flat smashed or a clear? More of a flat

smash really. Difficult to tell. The great skills of being able to

transition into attack. Great play by PV Sindhu. She's hanging in

there. I'm still none the wiser. It is why the umpire is having to is

weak first to PV Sindhu and then Carolina Marin. That's clever. That

is very, very good. Pushed ahead. I'm thinking clearly now.

Look how she's moving forward as well, at the back and being played

from PV Sindhu. Marin would have been ready and waiting. A forehand

smash. So crisp. So perfectly placed.

I was just mesmerised in that rally by Carolina Marin's footwork.

Because she got pulled forward, she got pushed back. She had to come

forward again. It's wonderful footwork, isn't it? Just keeping the

balance and keeping control. Two steps forward into the net. Puts in

a great position to play those angles across court and Seppi shot

up. -- and set the shot up. A good net shot. That was going

wide. That was going well wide. These badminton players actually

judge whether they are going to land in or out partly by whether or not

their opponent hit the shot. Then after that you have to take into

account the drift. When you see a certain shot from your opponent you

automatically say, that's going to land in. That's when you try playing

it, that's why we see that so often. We don't always have the sideways

drift is so pronounced as this. -- sideways drifters.

A good backhand. A superb backhand. And all of a sudden the deficit is

reduced to just two points. Look at that! Beautiful angle, isn't it?

Virtually no backswing of the racket.

A good net shot. Just one point is the deficit now. On a run of four

straight points, PV Sindhu. I thought that might have gone wide

as well. What O'Reilly. Good judgment from Carolina Marin. What's

impressive is that she got herself in the perfect position to play it.

I think she may have even had time to look down at the line, look back

about the shuttle to be sure of her spatial awareness, and then made the

correct decision. Smashed down the line. Where is the

attacking shot? The final one? Straight at Carolina Marin. There we

go. It's been really effective play for her, that body smash. Great

movement forward. Great pressure. They're both being pushed to the

back, both being brought forward. The amount of court that has been

covered. Unbelievable! What a rally. Five points adrift just a moment

ago. PV Sindhu, that is as good a rally in women's singles I think

you'll ever see. How on earth did she get that back? That's incredible

play, isn't it? Stretching each other to the four corners of the

court. That's badminton at it's highest quality. This next rally

will decide who has the advantage. The momentum with PV Sindhu, six of

the last seven points. Carolina Marin once the shuttle

changed. PV Sindhu says, no, I'm very happy with that one. --

Carolina Marin wants the shuttle changed. The mind games of elite

level sport. It's gone long, and it is the World

Champion, Carolina Marin, who has the advantage. Albeit a slim

advantage. Now, did she twisted her ankle that? Take a look at this. A

little bit of a limp on the way through. Maybe she just jarred it as

she landed. We saw a horrific injury in the semifinal yesterday. We don't

need any more injuries. The defending Olympic champion badly

injured her knee playing against Marin. So badly, in fact, that she

hasn't been able to contest the bronze medal play-off match. But we

have got a thriller on our hands here. The gold medal match.

So, the last chapter of the women's singles. 11-10, the World Champion

leads in this deciding game. Oh, that was clever. Nothing on the

pace of shot. The penultimate shot from Carolina Marin. Totally

deceived PV Sindhu. That is a very purposeful walk back to serve via.

Purposeful from the left-hander. Well, I question mark as to whether

she should be warned for that because you're not allowed to look

straight at your opponent, neither show a fist or yell like that.

You're not allowed to intimidate. Well, was that they challenge

immediately from PV Sindhu? Here we go. Oh, yes. I think she might have

a point there. The first challenge of this deciding game. Carolina

Marin hasn't made one challenge at all. Is it hair that maybe

challenge? I think it might be Marin that maybe challenge. The call was

possibly out. It was a little confusing. I thought they were both

going up with the indication of it. Well, the instant review will tell

us quite categorically whether it was in or out.

It did catch the line. Couldn't get any closer. Perfect shot. Full

stretch from the diagonal right over to the corner. Nicely played. So,

the to How desperately the Indian player

needed that because one just thought of themselves that the run of points

for Carolina Marin needed to be broken. -- one just thought that the

run of points. That is so good, that all comes about because of the fast

be to get behind the shuttle for that smashed down the line. Just

watch her footwork here. But is tremendous. Wonderful movement,

isn't it? Getting right behind the shuttle. Quick down the line.

The nerves are beginning to kick in. Very, very understandable.

Just wide. There is a challenge here from Sindhu and I fear it will be a

wasted challenge. Because I think that was wide. Yes.

They are sticklers, these umpires about keeping the kit box tidy.

Carolina Marin's towel just hanging over the edge of the kit box.

That is a good smash. That must certainly isn't. -- most certainly.

Normally, Carolina Marin works the rallies so well. Just looking a

little overanxious in that previous running, to finish it off.

There is another error. The nerves are most definitely kicking in with

Carolina Marin. The two occasions when Sindhu has

beaten her opponent of the day, they have both gone to three games.

Yes, that was a big pressure point and both players know it.

Creeping ever closer to that goal line of 21 points.

Yes. Well played, well constructed. It is great movement, coming across

to take the shuttle and finish it with that net play. So tight again,

getting the lift. Three points away, Carolina Marin. From the Olympic

gold medal. I have been told by -- they have

been told by the umpire to play on. It has gone wide. Two tantalising

points. That is what is needed by the left-handed Spaniard.

That is brilliant, that is utterly brilliant, taking the shuttle early,

Carolina Marin, and guiding the shuttle across court. That is

perfect. And six match point opportunities for the world

champion. To become the Olympic champion.

Watched it all the way. One gold medal point has been squandered.

The second one is converted. Carolina Marin, the European

champion, the world champion and now, she is the Olympic champion as

well. final and PV Sindhu, obvious

disappointment for her as Carolina Marin dissolves into tears, tears of

joy and a nice touch from PV Sindhu. She congratulates her opponent. The

enormity of what she has just achieved, Carolina Marin, beginning

to sink in. Only the second ever European player to win an Olympic

gold medal. The first was in the men's singles in 1996 and a lovely

touch there, that Carolina Marin, going and shaking the hand of the

Indian coach. But the celebration with her own coaches, Fernando Reeve

Ascom who has masterminded her development into the world's very

best player. If you were in any doubt about what

an Olympic gold means, you just saw it there, Carolina Marin becoming

the Olympic champion and only the second European to win a gold medal

in the history of Olympic badminton. Only introduced to the programme in

1992, the last was in 1996, a European gold medal. Carolina Marin,

the world number one, rightly so, chewing on her Olympic gold medal.

Huge congratulations de Gea. -- to her.

Let's talk to you a little bit about water polo, it takes place over

there. We have been to the Aquatic Centre for a while. Just beyond that

green sign blocking the view. Typical! In the water polo, we

talked about it for the last couple of weeks, Hungary, the men's

competition, the greatest Olympic nation ever. Nine times, they have

come away with the Olympic gold medal in the history of the summer

Games but things didn't end well for them at Rio 2016. They were in the

quarterfinals, having topped their pool and they played Montenegrin. It

went to a shoot out and it was the Montenegrin players who came out on

top. Hungary going home, you can see it on their faces, incredibly

disappointed. No medals for them whatsoever at the quarterfinal

stage. The baton moved over to the women and in their competition, they

found themselves in the bronze medal match. Taking on Russia. After four

periods, this match again went to penalties.

We will join it after the match finished at 12-12. We will go

through another nerve shattering shoot out. COMMENTATOR: Edina Gangl

for Hungary against the Russians. Borisova puts Russia in front 1-0.

This is impressive from Borisova, we have not called her name today, she

hasn't been on the score board. She puts it away cleanly. Barbara Boyko

for Hungary, prolific number ten. Taking on Anna Karnaukh. The

goalkeeper went the right way but too much pace on it. She shakes the

ball, a bit of a spin on it. Curving it towards the right hand. She has

had a smile a couple of times in those ranges. Lisunova for Russia

against Gangl. Lisunova wide of the goalkeeper's arm and Russia edge

ahead once again. This is a great shot, she rises up out of the water.

You need to make sure you extend at the right time and rise and release

that ball, particularly as just go straight into the back the net.

Hanna Kisteleki next for Hungary. Here is Kisteleki as well. She sends

the goalkeeper the wrong way. Another good penalty under pressure.

It is not to be underestimated, that continual motion, once the whistle

sounds from the referee, to come up out of the water and make sure you

have thought where you want to go but if the goalkeeper goes there, it

is even more of a challenge and you only have one chance take it.

Karimova, slight hesitation from the goalkeeper. It finds the bottom

corner so Karimova keeps up the 100% record in the shoot out. It looks

easy from here, they are making it look easy.

It is Kisteleki who bounces that one in the goal, the captain leading by

example. Just a thought for whichever side doesn't come through

this, how excruciating to lose the chance to get an Olympic medal. It

will be devastating for whoever cannot get through. The next Russian

penalty, it was a slow on and straight into the bottom corner from

Brockel Reeva -- Prokofyeva. She was waiting for the whistle to take the

shot and she is not even looking at the goalkeeper, she was so confident

and you exactly where she wanted to go. Dora Czigany for the Hungarian

is. She have to make sure she doesn't come forward and another one

for Hungary, 100% record from eight penalties. Nothing to split these

two sides. Both of them have been trained, they have been outstanding

and the keepers equally, can't fault them in this situation either.

Someone is going to come up short. Hungary coming to shoot again.

Russia with the shooter, five out of five.

This must be scored otherwise it will be the Russian Federation that

will take bronze. Into the net for 5-5. We are now

down to sudden death. I'm nervous up here watching it. We can only

imagine how they're feeling down there. Each one of the shooters has

not looked scared or nervous in their delivery. We are back to

square one. 5-5 so far in the shoot out. Borisova a game. Look at her,

she is absolutely cool as steel as she bounced that one of the water. A

little more elevation that time. You really need confidence. Barbara

scored her first. This is her second chance now. Into the corner once

again. There are no second chances now. The challenge you have with

using the surface of the water, it is still inconsistent as to where it

might skip and deflects to. Lisunova for Russia.

Into the corner, and other quality penalty shot for the Russian

Federation. No chance for the goalkeeper either with any of these

penalties. Both teams have gone to the left or right side. They've not

gone over the goalkeeper's head. The goalkeeper is not quite back on her

line for this one. It is saved! Saved by Karnaukh, and a win the

bronze medal. It is disappointment for hungry once again for the third

consecutive Olympic Games. They have to be content with a fourth place

finish. The Russian Federation have won it in a penalty shoot out in

dramatic fashion. Would you believe it? The poor Hungarians were

virtually inconsolable having come back, they must have thought the

bronze medal was theirs. The coaches are in the water as well now. What a

performance by Russia. They held their nerve when it mattered the

most. STUDIO: not the result hungry want.

After the men's disappointment, it is exactly the same heartache for

the women. Russia win the bronze medal and they deserve to do so.

Even though hungry in the women's game on the same superpower as the

men are, that is seriously going to sting. As they were saying in

commentary for another successive games hungry go away without a

medal. -- another successive games, Hungary go away without a medal.

That's another dip around the grounds and see what is going on. So

much like offering for you on the Red Button, the website and the art

as well. The men's semifinal action going on in the volleyball, Italy

against the USA. The best of five sets in this game, the USA leading

in the opening one just that. The USA, one of the big names in this

one. Tonight it's Russia against Brazil who are the world number

ones. That will be heated. If volleyball is what you want to watch

than had ever to the Red Button, the website and the app. There is also

football going on right now. Brazil and the men into the final trying to

end with an Olympic gold medal. The women lost agonisingly on penalties

a couple of days ago against Sweden. They've got a chance to come away

from the home games with a medal. They're in a bronze medal match

right now against Canada. A little tricky moment therefore one of the

Canadian players needing a bit of treatment. Brazil won't care one

bit, they have medals to wind down there. And over on BBC One right now

they are going to be showing some equestrian because having missed out

on a show-jumping team medal they could come away with individual

honours. Nick Skelton will be going in his final run on BBC One at

5:30pm. Trying to add two more equestrian medal is that Great

Britain have one here at the games. Right now on BBC One it's hockey

time, a bronze medal match in the women's competition. It features

Germany against New Zealand. Museum two were beaten by Great Britain in

the semifinals. They have come forth a couple of. -- New Zealand, who

were beaten by Great Britain in the semifinals. Germany always

dangerous. The score right now, let's have a 2-1 to Germany. Into

the fourth quarter. A very exciting time if you want to join right now

on BBC One. However it is all about tonight because Great Britain could

more history. COMMENTATOR: it's a goal for Alex

Stanton. It's pushed home. Great Britain at the moment are the top

team in this Olympic tournament. Richardson Walsh, goal for Great

Britain! Dry flick, score. Great Britain will

go to the Olympic semifinal. They will face New Zealand. It is pushed

home, it is scored. Alex Stanton gets the first goal of the match.

Great Britain 3-0 in front. She's got it, Great Britain are in the

Olympic final. The first time they've been into a

hockey final, Great Britain's winning here at the games. You can

watch that one tonight on BBC One. The gold medal is a real

possibility. What are the prospects in the Gulf, because a few moments

ago it showed us the first hole in one in a women's Olympic golf

tournament at least for 100 years. How long have we had to wait for the

next one? Not that long at all. It looked to

Gillick in both aerial shots. The wind is whipping in from the sea. --

it looked idyllic. While it has caused some problems it has also

produced the moments of brilliance. We shall China's linseeds you with

the first hole in one in the women's competition. Just about half an hour

later, almost a carbon copy. This is well number one Lydia Ko from New

Zealand also on the eighth with the second hole in one of the games. The

men, of course, also managed to macro hole in ones. Justin Rose as

well, he went on to win the gold. Successful Great Britain, and

successful Great Britain at the moment in round three because

Charley Hull is going great guns. She's had such a dramatic ground.

She has found the Bunker Hill and seven but she's had such a dramatic

round so far. -- she has found a bunker here. She hit the water but

the ball skimmed off the surface and bounced onto a nearby mound of sand.

From there she managed to save par. She got a bogey on the fourth. A

couple of back-to-back birdies mean she is not tied in second and is

three shots from our leader. You can see Inbee Park is also on the sand

in the seventh. She has had such a regular round. She has built up a

three shot lead over just the first six holes of this. Three birdies on

her card so far. A three shot lead for the seven time major champion,

Inbee Park. We will hand you over to the live commentary.

COMMENTATOR: trying to snap it out. Brilliant, fantastic. Just behind

the ball you can hear the noise of the snap. Trying to come across the

ball. Look where the clubface goes. Gosh, a great shot. It's going to

require some very good golf from someone behind her to overtake her,

certainly today. Tomorrow's a different day. Stacy Lewis is

finding that out today. She hasn't shown any weaknesses in her game

full today. Now, Lydia Ko with this testing little par. Putting today

seems to have been better than it's been in the last couple of days.

That is a good example, you can see the speed with which the ball went

in. A good, confident putt from Lydia. She remains very much in the

frame to 9-under. She's making her way safely through the tough

stretch. She will have just a little bit of vantage over the rest of the

field if she can avoid dropping shots. She still has the 15th to

play. 342 metres. She eagled that yesterday, Lydia Ko. Or the first,

was it? Stacy Lewis for birdie on eight.

This is Marianne Skarpnord from Norway. Second to the ninth.

Good shot, just spend back a little. -- spins back a little.

Brooke Henderson here, second on nine.

Again, we've seen these greens very receptive all three days. What an up

or down -- what an up and down this would be for Britain's Charley Hull.

It's not going to be. Shot gone on the eighth. And Charley Hull will

drop back to 8-under par. That is where she started the day.

Birdie putt here for Canada's Brooke Henderson.

A good-looking effort. Short of pace. Onto the 11th, from the United

States, Gerina Piller. Per second to the par-4. She is 10-under. She's

found the sand. Conditions are a lot more difficult now this afternoon.

Coming up to 1:30pm as this wind howls across this golf course, the

Olympic Golf Course. Inbee Park to tidy up here for her par on the

eighth. She stays in the lead. Two shots

clear of Gerina Piller. Some work to do in the sand and 11 for her. Lydia

Ko. Shanshan Feng at 9-under par. A birdie putt A194 Marianne

Skarpnord. -- a birdie putt at nine four Marianne Skarpnord. This is the

ninth, 324 yards. A couple of big mounds in front of the green. No

bunkers in front. But that pin today, back right. The ninth tee,

Inbee Park, tournament leader at 12-under.

It's a good shot down the left-hand side, but that is fine there.

Absolutely fine. Her swing has burned Inbee Park

seven major Championships. Stacy Lewis back to six under par.

Three over par for her round today. Up ahead on the 11th, Gerina Piller

in the sand. This is his third shot on the par-4 Mack. -- her third shot

on the par-4. That is a great shot, nicely played, had the wind behind

her as well. See how that flagstick is bending in

the wind. The tenth, par-5, beginning her homeward nine,

Canada's Brooke Henderson. Water all the way along the left.

Marianne Skarpnord at 8-under par, 12 back from Inbee Park, the leader.

Charley Hull at 8-under par. And somewhere in there, it is not

way she wants to be. -- where she wants to be.

Going up to 15 now, Leona Maguire from Ireland, her second shot.

Leona Maguire playing with Lexi Thompson and Lydia Ko.

Coming down a yard or two right, we have got to start this in the

bunker. Is her second to 15, Lydia Ko, pars

all the way back on the backline so far. -- back nine so far. It just

comes up short. Back down the fairway and that is a tough shot

given with the pin is cut today. She is a little surprised it didn't kick

on because it could have rolled close to the pin if it had got to

the top but it wasn't to be. It was just the run of the green.

Charley Hull, second to nine. This was a very exposed part of the

course, just in front of the clubhouse.

She was between clubs. It was the general consensus, the pin was

between the two of them and she came up short, took the wrong club in the

end. Inbee Park. Coming off that bogey. And, wow, she has got a few

problems as well. The key in these windy conditions is course

management. You can't help but think that someone like Lydia Ko, even

though she is only 19, the vast experience she has had playing golf

all around the world, these conditions would help. But a lot of

these girls may be... Good par. Wouldn't strike in conditions as

windy as this. Good par for Gerina Piller. Second to nine, Stacy Lewis.

This is the last group Inbee Park, Stacy Lewis, Charley Hull.

Someone who is still playing herself very much and contention, China's

number one, Shanshan Feng. 220 yards to the hole. That is a good golf

shot. That was probably her caddy. Lydia Ko, after that unfortunate

bounce, you can see the pin, in the crosswind which they have to contend

with, she is pretty good at the shots, part of his strength. You can

see the effect of the wind, it just stopped and it dropped. The wind

causing some real havoc down here. We are with our back to the ninth

fairway so we have just see Charley Hull, Stacy Lewis and Inbee Park

play through behind us. Charley Hull looking like she's struggling with

the wind because it is very exposed on the course on the night and the

first fairway streaming off down that way. Back-to-back bogeys for

Charley Hull which mean she is now 8-under par, four shots off the

lead. Even the leader, Inbee Park of Korea, struggling as well. Dropping

a shot on the seventh. You can follow the golf at here in the sun

and wind on the Red Button for cable and satellite viewers and on the BBC

sport app and live online on the website as well but for now in the

sun and wind, it is back to Ore Oduba.

I am expecting a hole-in-one in about 38 minutes, can you sort me

out? I can try but I can't promise anything! That will continue all

over the place. Let's go down to the BMX, semifinal time for the men and

women and Jill Douglas, a real shame that we will see no Liam Phillips or

Kyle Evans. Both British riders bowing out yesterday in the

quarterfinal stage. Kyle Evans just missed the cut. But we will hear

more from him I'm sure. Liam Phillips, so disappointing for him,

he crashed in his first run of the quarterfinal, just a few seconds in.

He was taken to hospital with a concussion but I'm glad to say he is

out of hospital and we might catch up with him later today. He is

watching the semifinals and the final later on the BMX. We have seen

the women in action. We are getting ready for the men's

first heat. I'm sure Simon Rutherford and Sir Chris Hoy could

explain it much better than me. Thank you. We're almost ready for

this first run in the first heat of the semifinals. Luis Brethauer, from

Germany. Former world bronze-medallist. David Graf from

Switzerland who got the bronze medal in the World Championship in

Columbia. From the Netherlands, Jelle van Gorkom, world

silver-medallist in 2015, been riding really well in Rio. Plenty of

Dutch interest in this BMX. Carlos Ramirez, one of two Colombian

riders. His compatriot alongside him, Carlos Oquendo, the

bronze-medallist in London four years ago. Just out side the medals

in the worlds. Corben Sharrah from the United

States, won the first big event of the season in Argentina.

His compatriot, Nicholas Long, the world bronze-medallist.

And Anthony Dean from Australia, fourth in the World Championship

four years ago. Dean has looked extremely sharp in the races we have

seen so far. This is the first run of three in this half of the

semifinal draw. Away they go in this first run in

the first semifinal. Dean making a good start, as does Van Gorkom of

the Netherlands. Around the first corner, everybody staying on their

bikes. Dean leading the way, Van Gorkom in second place. Colombians

challenging in third and fourth. Oquendo challenging Ramirez and

Ramirez in third at the moment. Dean with some daylight between him and

the Dutch rider but Van Gorkom getting closer and closer. Around

the final turn, in towards the finishing straight, up towards the

line, Dean of Australia in first and Van Gorkom in second and Ramirez in

third. That was an incredibly close race. Dean firmly in charge but the

Colombians happy to get the top four places. The Americans potentially

find themselves in a bit of bother in fifth and sixth. David Graf as

well rolling across the line at the back of the field but Dean is

continuing that great series of runs we saw from him yesterday. Getting a

great start, the inside line is the major advantage going into the first

turn. You see how close they are, it is incredible how they stay upright.

When we get through turn on, we didn't see anything of Nicholas Long

or Corben Sharrah for the rest of the race. They were in good

contention at this point but the Colombians down the back straight

into the second term, starting to take control. Momentum is a key

thing in the second straight, not much opportunity to pedal so you

have to get your landing spot on to carry that momentum. All the way to

the finishing line. They have been a few attempts to go up the inside on

that last corner, it is a popular move. Anthony Dean warming down,

they will be back on the track fairly quickly, it is roughly every

20 minutes. A lot of effort in 35 seconds and every second of that

recovery, they will be making use of, it is not easy to turn it around

in that short space of time. The starters for the second semifinal,

heat two. Sam Willoughby from Australia heading the field. Trent

Jones from New Zealand, the Oceania champion. He has ridden very well so

far, the 22-year-old, spent most of the last couple of years based in

the United States to further his BMX career. From the Netherlands, Niek

Kimmann, still just 20 years of age. Struggling with an injury following

a crash yesterday. From Venezuela, Jefferson Milano, the 22-year-old

from Caracas. 32nd in the World Championship with a shot of reaching

the Olympic final. From Canada, Tory Nyhaug, the Pan-American games

gold-medallist. Tory Nyhaug was impressive in the quarterfinals.

United States represented in this half of the draw by Connor Fields,

former winner of the season of the World Cup competition. He won his

quarter and semi in London four years ago but ended up seventh in

the Olympic final. This is Gonzalo Molina, the Pan-American champion,

from Argentina. Van Gendt from the Netherlands,

fifth in London four years ago. Some will be from Australia looking to go

one better than in London 2012 when he finished with a silver medal. --

Sam Willoughby. There is quiet around the BMX track

here. The first run-in the second heat of the Riders ready.

Willoughby has looked great so far. Can he dominate? So has Connor

fields who is level with him from the United States. Coming through on

the inside is Van Gendt. Around they go, still leading the way for

Australia is Willoughby. Connor fields are still very much on his

tail. A good move by the New Zealander Trent Jones, almost taking

him up into third place. Challenging Van Gendt very hard. Kimmann in

third place. There is a crash, the Venezuelan has gone down. Jefferson

Milano ended up planted into the ground going into that final turn.

An impressive rate. Willoughby looked to be in control. He didn't

have enough momentum to make it stick, Trent Jones, but a fantastic

ride from Willoughby at the front. Looking very short, very calm and

very composed. So far we've got what we were hoping for. Fast, tight

racing. The ability as athletes is coming through. I think it just

shows most of the problems we were seen yesterday were down to the

problems due to the wind. Today we had a little crash, but none of the

carnage that we saw yesterday. Here it is once again as they hurtled

into that first term. Willoughby able to hold that line in first

place and lead them round. You see the benefit of the inside line. But

often you can lose that benefit if you don't carry the momentum through

here. You can see how tightly packed they are in the second straight

leading up to the big set of doubles. Here comes Jefferson

Milano. He's over the line, to see. He will be back up and raring to go

in around 20 minutes, I'm sure. He has a lot of work to do. You can

still qualify. He just loses control in the take-off going into the final

corner. When you land on a green painted part of the track, it is

tarmac. It is rock hard. If you hit it, you will feel it. For anyone

who's not aware of what they're racing on, there is no give in this

surface at any point. It is basically like landing on tarmac.

It's got a nonslip grippy surface which makes it even worse because

you don't live, you just come to a complete stop. A big impact when you

land on the green stuff. Confirmation of the result from the

first run. Two more runs from these riders and in the other half of the

draw as well. A great start by Willoughby. Connor Field and Trent

Jones. Kimmann, a great ride from him. We had after his crash where we

saw yesterday his front wheel came off, he sustained a fracture to his

ankle. I'm not sure how he's able to ride today that he is doing

incredibly well to be up in a qualifying position so far. Two

Colombian riders going very well. It's not all about Mariano passed on

from Columbia's point of view. There is a number of top South American

riders. There are North American, South American, Australasian

athletes in there. It is a global sport. The Colombians in fine

spirits. The crowd had to make quite a trip out of town to come up here.

They had to be fully committed. In the background there, the Belgian

rider on the turbo trainer. Just trying to aid the recovery process.

As you were saying earlier it is a short turnaround to get back onto

the start. You need to allow yourself every opportunity to be in

the best possible shape for the second heat. Hopefully the second

run-in the women's semifinals would be too far away. Two good races to

kick things off here in the sunshine. But it is interesting that

the wind changes minute by minute. It's incredible. For the first heat

of the men it was almost a direct headwind. It became a crosswind, 90

degrees across. If there is a crosswind, it is not too bad because

they have a grandstand. Coming from the opposite direction that are some

real issues. Some people have been asking questions about when the

riders are going through the air they turn the handlebars and whether

they are trying to get competitive advantage by doing that, but it is

basically a balance issue. If they're taking off and they feel as

if the bike is wandering from right to left, it is a means to manipulate

the bike to land in the position they want to to maintain that

momentum. Ideally you want to land at the same momentum as the

downslope and pedal as quickly as you can. Every split second that you

are not pedalling, you are losing time. It seems as if with the

weather conditions less severe than yesterday that it is helping the

riders no end. It was so unfortunate, not just for Liam

Phillips, but also we lost in be World Champion yesterday. He was

forced out after a very heavy crash. The defending Olympic champion

finished heavily into Liam Phillips in that first right and actually he

was very close to going through. That crash cost him, too. You want

the best people in the final, surely? You want to see the best

athletes performing. Fair enough if they lose because they weren't good

enough for quick enough but there is a lot of bad luck around yesterday.

So, the riders at the moment are having a very brief break to rest

and recuperate. It gives the crowd a chance to put some sun cream and to

protect themselves from what is a very hot day here, as you can see.

Before long those female athletes, there is the World Champion from

last year, Stefanie Hernandez. If she could actually win she would

become the first female Olympian from Venice whaler ever to win a

gold medal. No pressure there, then. -- from Venice whaler. We will be

back here shortly. Just for the moment, back to you, Ore.

We will be back in a few moments time. Before we do, let's look ahead

to this evening. Great Britain have some great shouts in the boxing.

Nicola Adams is going in her gold medal fight. In the superheavyweight

category, Great Britain have some fantastic pedigree. What on earth

are you up to? I don't know, but I like it. He can stay there, if he

wants. Back to 2012, heavyweight and superheavyweight category, Anthony

Joshua came away with an incredible gold medal. I wonder what happened

to him after that? Back in 2016 right here, a great chance for the

European Games champion, Joe Joyce. Joe, we are where it all began for

you. The amateur boxing club. How does it feel when you are in here?

It feels like home, back where I feel comfortable and where it all

began. How did it'll begin for you? I was 22, turning 23. I knew there

was a boxing gym round here and I wanted to go and hit a bag and maybe

do since barring. They got me to come to the boxing session. -- some

sparring. I was enjoying myself and I got my first belt. You get in the

ring and the referee comes over. He checks you have gloves and a

gumshield, then he brings you both together to look at your opponent.

You look at your corner and then, Ding! And it's like, what have you

got? Read and believe, come on! He is a lovely kid, a gentle giant. He

looks menacing but he's not at all. He's easy to work with which is

important. You can have the best kids in the world but if they won't

listen and work with you then you'll never get anywhere. Part of the

reason why you started boxing at 22, which some people might say is quite

old to start, is because you used to do work being, athletics, karate.

Kick boxing, kung fu. There is loads. Swimming, diving. It's an

amazing CV of different sports that you've done. Now you have found one

of binary stock. Yes, and it got to a point where I was doing other

sports that I would get bored and move on. I think that it's good that

I have found boxing so late because it made -- because maybe if I had

started earlier I would have got bored and moved on to something

else. It's good. Thanks for letting us come and have

a look around. We are here to talk about some of this stuff that you do

outside of boxing. You're handy with a paintbrush. I am. I've always been

good at art at school and that. From then on I went to Middlesex to do a

bachelor of arts in fine art. I also got to do an exchange in Sacramento

State University, my last year. I picked up a lot more skills along

the way. Many strings to my bow. You name it, I've done it. I did

cheerleading in the states at university. I reckon you were one of

the guys that through the people in the air, rather than the guy being

thrown in the air. You pick the Gallup, throw them, catch them by

their feet and then you can do other moves. -- you pick the girl up. You

have to be really strong. Even now qualified for Rio. You will be at

the Olympic Games. How does that feel? It's great. You set targets

and this is one of my targets on a long time ago when I was doing

athletics. I wanted to get to the Olympics. How much do you want the

gold? He has beaten 90% of the guys there. As long as he performs at his

best and delivers on the day then there is no reason why Joe Joyce

can't deliver. You've experimented with loads of different sports, to

paint a new box. No wonder on the back of your top it says "No

ordinary Joe." Yes, because I'm quite extraordinary. My head is

getting heavy because I do all of these neck exercises! It will only

get heavier with a gold medal around your neck.

Joe Joyce talking to radio one Xtra. He is guaranteed a medal, he is in

the semifinal this evening but he will not go home happy unless he

gets the gold. You can see that semifinal this evening in about an

hour and a half's time to see Joe Joyce in the superheavyweight

category at 7:15pm. Stay tuned. We are winding down to the end of Rio

2016. There is only a couple more days here, which is quite sad. But

on the flip side we can look forward to what will be a spectacular

closing ceremony. We have been presented with a surprised by the

Team GB collective. If you just want to them this, a little bag of

goodies by Team GB who have offered us some of their closing ceremony

garments. We've got a bit of time. I'll tell you what, let's put it on.

Let's demonstrate it properly. Do you mind holding on to the

microphone? The outfit is not quite finished!

These shoes, I'm not sure who on earth they were designed for, but

they're like boats will stop look at the size of that! It's going to go

to someone. But I will tell you what, I'm going to continue putting

this outfit on while we go back to the serious business of the BMX

semifinals. Oh, my goodness, look at that. That is quite serious. Clown

feet available here in the video Olympic Park. If you haven't

noticed, they didn't get my thighs with the jacket either. -- Rio

Olympic Park. BMX time. We saw the first rung of the semifinal, now it

is time for the second. COMMENTATOR: We're at the pointy end

of the competition and we will reach that today because we will have the

final for the men and women, the women's semifinal, second monetary

will be next onto the track and the good news so far is that if you have

just joined the coverage, Chris, is that basically, we saw BMX racing

its best in the first semifinal runs in the women and men. Exactly,

closely packed racing, a demonstration of power and skill,

the judgment of the athletes, not affected by the horrendous wind we

saw yesterday which caused so many crashes. It is a shame for the sport

on this level, this opportunity to be broadcast around the world, it

looked like a demolition derby yesterday threw no-fault of the

riders. What about this semifinal? This half of the draw, Mariana

Pajon, the world champion from Colombia, so many supporters of hers

in the crowd. How impressive was she in the first run? Very impressive,

did not look under pressure at all, nice and composed and relaxed, no

mistakes. She just seems to have a bit of extra power. She has the

confidence with the extra speed to take the bigger jumps, jumped the

first set of triples which in the second heat, one other rider did but

all the men are going manual through that. You can see where she is

getting the advantage. Still a lot can happen, although she won the

first heat, stranger things have happened so she has to stay focused

in order to qualify through to the final. Viewers may be wondering why

the riders line up in certain positions up at the start's gate.

Who goes where and how is it determined and what benefit is a

certain spot to any given athlete? You have the seeding round, the

qualification round, to allow you to have the first pick of the start

gate position. In this situation and in most situations, you want to be

in lane one on the inside because it will be neck and neck going to the

first jump and the first corner. If you are on the inside, you get the

advantage. Does it set you up for the rest of the race? If you go

through turn one in first place, are use that fair? To get to the first

corner first is the whole shot, and that is the thing that everyone is

going for, all eight riders, trying to get in command and control. So

you are not at the mercy of those next EU or behind you falling off,

you can take a clear run at the track and that is the position you

want to be in. BMX is where it started for you as well as remark

like coming home to your roots? Yes, I raced for seven years, fantastic

sport to get into from grassroots all the way to elite level, there is

something everyone. I miss it although it has changed huge amount

since I stopped in the early tracks are bigger, faster, more jumps. It

is an amazing spectacle to watch but I missed it but I don't know if I

quite fancy getting out there now! The decisions that you made in terms

of your sporting career, it worked out pretty well, didn't it? Have you

ever thought maybe you might have stuck with BMX? I stopped when I was

about 15 and I started mountain biking and then tried road racing

and eventually track. If there had been the opportunity to continue to

Olympic level, who knows? But I can't complain really, can I? It's

not been too bad! Here we go, they are lining up for the second run-in

the semifinals, there's Maria Diaz from Argentina, such an experienced

rider. In her mid-30s now, you don't often see BMX riders in races like

this at that kind of age. In terms of men or women, actually. Amanda

Carr, used to race for the USA and now racing for Thailand. Merle van

Benthem from the Netherlands, the 2010 world Julia -- junior champion.

Manon Valentino from France, third in May in the World Cup race, the

last big meeting other than the World Championships. Simone

Christensen from Denmark, the World Championship bronze medallist.

Fourth in that first run. And from the US in this half of the draw,

Alise Post, solid start to the semifinal series from her. Stefany

Hernandez, the world champion from the past two years next to each

other on the starters gate, Hernandez right next to Mariana

Pajon. Coped with the pressure so well on

her home track in the World Championship. Yes, there was a huge

amount of expectation and she dealt with it admirably. They are up and

ready. Riders ready, watch the gate. Away they go in the second run. Who

is going to be first into the turn one? Alise Post has made a great

start, maybe just meeting ahead of Mariana Pajon but she turns on the

inside, just ahead of the American, and Hernandez is in third,

Kristensen of Denmark putting her under real pressure and Mariana

Pajon under more pressure in the second ride than she was in the

first. Through the rhythm section they go, chasing very hard is Alise

Post from the US and there's a crash and Hernandez has gone down, Simone

Christensen is down, Dutch rider is down and Mariana Pajon crosses the

line with Alise Post and Manon Valentino from France in third place

and there's a real scrap now to get to the line and Simone Christensen

of Denmark will rollover in sixth place and chasing hard but having to

carry her bike because the chain has come off was Hernandez of Venezuela,

last year's world champion. Real drama on the last corner, and from

the Netherlands, Merle van Benthem, unfortunately, so far, unable to get

back up onto her feet. But hopefully she will. Hopefully at some point in

the next minute or two, she will be able to roll across the line. A

big-name fallout. What drama. It was the rate at which Hernandez try to

take the final corner, whipping the bike around and it lost traction,

the back wheel came off the ground. We will see the replay in a second,

I'm sure. It was a risky move and she did not need to do it. It's the

semifinal, you only need to make the top four and she was making a move

up the inside, too sharp a line, to acute angle and she paid the price.

Merle van Benthem is OK which is great to see and I'm sure we will

see her in the third and final ride in the semifinal but clearly shaken

by that fall. But let's look back at the race. Alise Post with a

fantastic start, within the lead but as you can see, the inside line is

the advantage and Mariana Pajon takes the lead. She never really

looked in control of this race, Alise Post pushing her the whole

way. You can see the back-end of Hernandez, she tried to turn to fast

and back-end came off and took out another rider. That was the risk,

she knew it was a risky move. It was Simone Christensen who went down

first and then the Dutch rider at the back, Merle van Benthem, arrived

a couple of seconds later. At the back-end, she took Simone

Christensen with her, causing carnage. The reason they jumped back

on the bike as quickly as possible is that every single point bounce

for qualifications of although you have crashed, you can still get

through to the final. So the first thing is, which one is mine and then

grab it and try to race to the finish! Yes. So much at stake,

riders will always take a chance. This is the Olympics draw, the one

they all want to win. It puts a huge amount of pressure on them. Is a

Mariana Pajon leading the way. And coping well with the pressure. --

so, Mariana Pajon. She always does that when she goes for versions of

the world title, she has lifted three versions of it. The second

semifinal line-up, they are up and ready to go, Nadja Pries from

Germany. Seventh after that first run-in the first -- and the first of

the Australian riders, Lauren Reynolds. They have the outside line

into the first corner, based on the result from the first ride. Elke

Vanhoof of Belgium top ten in all three Supercross races so far this

year. Priscilla Carnaval from Brazil. Coached by her older

brother, Douglas. Supported by a good many people inside the BMX

track here. Yaroslava Bondarenko of Russia. Next to the rider from

Moscow, Laura Smulders. She won the bronze in London at the last Olympic

Games. Brooke Crain from the USA with a top three finish in the first

ride. Number 68, Caroline Buchanan from Canberra in Australia.

This is the second race. The second of the semifinals. A hush at the

track. Riders ready. Watch the gate. Buchanan, who was the best rider in

the field in the first semifinal has made a good start and two have gone

down! One of the Australians has gone down. Lauren Reynolds is on the

deck and so is the Brazilian rider, who did not even make it into the

first turn, and leading the way, Brooke Crain from the USA, and Laura

Smulders in second place. Around turn two, Buchanan back in fourth at

the moment, Brooke Crain riding really well, Laura Smulders in

second place. Chasing hard, wandering though for Russia in

third, that will be a turn up if she can make it. -- chasing hard,

Yaroslava Bondarenko. Laura Smulders takes it from Brooke Crain and

Yaroslava Bondarenko is in third and Buchanan, the first rider in the

first run, finishes fourth, now Du Preez this, Elke Vanhoof sixth and

the last two, Lauren Reynolds leading home Priscilla Carnaval of

Brazil. What drama. They barely got out of the starting gate. They could

not have been racing for more than about four microseconds when a goal.

That's probably the worst placed a ball at that kind of speed, big

impact when they hit the deck, great to see them both back on their bikes

and finishing the track. Another dramatic semifinal run for those

two. Those two groups of riders and a few running repairs. Actually just

lifting the saddle at the end! Those saddles are so low for the racing

because you don't want it to getting away when you're manoeuvring the

bike midair so they put it right back up to ride away. Starting

again, left of centre, there. That will be Australian that knocked the

Brazilian midair and you have nothing to do. -- was the

Australian. You can't do anything, you're trying to manipulate the bike

but if you get a side impact like that, the Brazilian is already

completely horizontal before she hit the deck. Total wipe-out by the pair

of them. From the starting gate they are trying to get across the track,

to get to the inside as close as possible which caused the crash.

Beattie fall as were having their own race behind, some distance

further back on the track. But the good news is, she seems to be OK.

But that was a nasty fall. Yeah, high-speed, high impact, great to

see them bouncing back and getting back on the bike to finish the race.

Laura Smulders from the Netherlands was first over the line ahead of

Brooke Crain and Buchanan... That is the standings, Laura Smulders,

Brooke Crain, Caroline Buchanan and Yaroslava Bondarenko into fourth

place. It is an aggregate of all three rides, the top four progress,

they don't need to do anything particularly special. The medals are

only won on a single ride in the final which will be after this third

heat of the semifinals. A bit of mopping up to do. Scratches and

scrapes, not surprised. You can see the impact the bikes make when they

hit the deck, gouging holes in the track. Not quite such an issue as in

the velodrome. In the velodrome from you get massive splinters that they

have to repair the track otherwise if you crashed on the same part

again and slid over them, you could have a nasty injury. Moving onto the

men's semifinal, second run, the first of the semifinals, this is the

one featuring Anthony Dean of Australia, who was the fastest in

that first run ahead of Jelle van Gorkom of the Netherlands. The

riders taking their places. The wind is getting up a bit and it is a

crosswind from right to left down to the first corner. The flags are

really flattering quite stiffly. It keeps on changing, doesn't it? You

think it has calmed down and then it picks up with the direction changes.

It affects the lighter riders more. They don't have the same inertia.

Midair, if you only weighed 50-60 KG, you get blown all over the

place. A lot of the bigger guys, 95 kilograms potentially, can deal with

it better. David Graf from Switzerland fell in two of the

3/4-final rides but still made it to the semifinal. Corben Sharrah from

the USA, from Tucson, Arizona, 24 years old. Next to him, Nick Long,

bronze medallist in the world and the Pan American Games last year. A

Colombian duo certainly worth keeping an eye on, Carlos Ramirez,

the World Championship analyst and Carlos Oquendo, an Olympic medallist

from four years ago. -- World Championship medallist. Jelle van

Gorkom from the Netherlands, from an M. And Anthony Dean. He looks to be

in the form of his life. Yeah, he's had a great run so far.

Riders ready. Watch the gate. The second race of the semifinal and

away they go. Good start by Corben Sharrah but then racing through on

the inside, the Australian, Anthony Dean, who leads them around the

first corner. Chased hard by Corben Sharrah, and one of the Colombian

riders up into third. Jelle van Gorkom in fourth. Around turn two,

Anthony Dean still with time, not too much pressure coming on him and

-- Ramirez from Colombia pushing hard, up in second place at the

moment, Corben Sharrah holding second, Dean leading the way, Corben

Sharrah in second place, Ramirez in third and Oquendo straight for the

line with Nick Long. BMX at its best, amazing skills Tom at top

speed, amazing. Really good race from start to finish. The Colombian

riders challenging and consistent in every ride, not quite able to put

themselves at the front of the field but always around third or fourth in

any race they are in. You see the benefit of being

therefore Anthony Dean, here they are, yes, just that Le Mans makes

all the difference. He was in control from turn onwards -- just

that lane one makes all the difference. You can see with Nick

Long, he hooked up his back wheel little bit in the back straight

before the big set of double thunder that killed his momentum, and he

went backwards. Nicholas Long, the green on his helmet. Never really in

contention in the second run. The riders try to gain every last

possible centimetre to potentially gain a place at the end. There's the

photo finish. Anthony Dean with a little room to spare, again. Yes,

very impressive. Just two points from those first two runs, having

won both of them. One run to go in the semifinal, Anthony Dean leading

the way, with Carlos Ramirez, the second-best rider. We move quickly

on to the second semifinal, run two of this one. That will be deemed

straight through, even if he comes last in the next one he has

qualified for the Olympic final. The Olympic -- the Australian cycling

team will be desperate to get a cycling gold medal macro from

somewhere. It's been a disappointing Games for them. Let's look at the

line-up. Niek Kimmann overcoming an ankle injury to remain competitive

here. Fourth after that first run. Jefferson Milano, who crashed in the

first race on the final corner, the final turn. From New Zealand, Trent

Jones. He was actually born in Limerick, in Ireland. From

Argentina, Gonzalo Molina, 29th out of the 32 in the seeding run. 12 in

his home cup race earlier in the season. Twan van Gendt from the

Netherlands, fifth in the Olympics four years ago. Connor Fields from

the United States. Tory Nyhaug, from Canada, a world

silver-medallist couple of years ago. And the man who arguably has

looked the best out of all of them in the competition so far, Sam

Willoughby, the two time world champion.

The riders about to go upon their pedals. Riders ready, watch the

gate... It on and away they go now. That mad adrenaline rush to the

first corner, and Sam Willoughby takes control of it. Connor Fields

is up there with him. Tory Nyhaug holding third place. Trent Jones

from New Zealand trying to get into the action. It is Australia, USA,

Cabella, a battle for fourth place. There a fall, Jones has gone down,

from New Zealand. Sam Willoughby of Australia leading the way,

second-place Connor Fields of the USA, in a thick of the action is

Tory Nyhaug, they will finish one, two, three, Gonzalo Molina in fourth

place ahead of Twan van Gendt of the Netherlands, who is just in front of

his compatriot at the end of that race, Niek Kimmann, but a very heavy

fall, Jefferson Milano has fallen for the second time, both runs he

has fallen. That was a big impact there for the Kiwi rider, Trent

Jones. Good to see him back on the bike and he will finish. I'm

surprised Jones was able to get back on his bike as quickly as he did.

That was a big impact. You can see his shirt is torn, there is blood

coming out of his right arm there. He will be feeling that. Again, Sam

Willoughby, what a masterclass at the front end of the race. A very

quick time. 34.4. Connor Fields not far behind him. It was a shame to

see that crashed going into turn two. A puncture as well, the least

of his problems. Here's the race once again. Sam Willoughby opens a

believed immediately. Nick Kemen started well. -- Niek Kimmann

started well. You see them controlling their bikes, trying to

get every bit of momentum they can. Here is the crash. He landed

straight onto his head and hit very hard, amazing to see him bounce

straight back up. His Olympics could have been over there, in an instant.

Used either skid. Ploughed into by Jefferson Milano, who could do

nothing about it. Yes, that wasn't his fault. That will sting a bit.

It's hard to explain what it's like to land on the deck, particularly on

the tarmac, the Green part of the track, there is no give at all. It

looks nicely painted, it almost looks friendly, doesn't it! Its

rock-hard. Australia are faring very well in the BMX so far. Anthony Dean

and Sam Willoughby going extremely well. Yes, that's them both

qualified regardless of the third heat. There's the standings after

race two in the sermons -- in the second semifinal. Sam Willoughby

qualifies, Connor Fields, Tory Nyhaug, Trent Jones is done in the

running, as is Gonzalo Molina, all to play for in the third and final

run. They will all be coming up in just a few minutes.

ORE ODUBA: It can be brutal, BMX, it gives is

incredible scenery as we see the riders going over all the bumps and

humps, but it can be brutal, but really good to see the riders

getting back up and being OK. We are going to change sports now because

we are going back to the BMX and the final runs the semifinal, but we are

counting to Joe Joyce's semifinal in the superheavyweight category of the

foxing. He's in the semifinal against Ivan Dychko of Kazakhstan.

John Inverdale is ringside. He has a lot to live up to in this category,

hasn't he? He does, talking about lots and size, there are a couple of

guys who are in the flyweight, 52 kilograms, and what we're talking

about was Joe Joyce is people twice that size in that direction and

twice that size in that direction, and of course twice amount of

weight, getting onto 90 odd kgs and Anthony Joshua fits into that

category. Big guys this afternoon. For Joe, this is a wonderful

opportunity, isn't it? Yes, he's come from a grassroots club in

London, built his way up to become the best in Great Britain and now

he's in the Olympics 2016, it's his time to shine. I believe in him and

he's got a great platform to do it on. I have an proud of him and I

hope he does well. Use bar with him a lot, tell as his strengths and

flaws? Not many flaws. He had flaws at the beginning because he was

learning and he has ironed them out, managed to become one of the best in

the world are based around his coaches come mother support team. He

has a great engine. He does couple wearer, he can backflip, he's an

artist, his mind works in a way that not many people's does, he is

adaptable. His attitude towards hard work is phenomenal. I haven't seen

many people who can work extremely hard, he carries the same attitude

the lighter weights do to the heavyweight.

hard, he carries the same attitude the lighter weights do to the

heavyweight. Yellow bobbing his style is relentless, go forward like

a steam train. Most definitely, he is not one of those guys who will

practice 1000 punches and the master of none, he is relentless. If we are

going to call it one-dimensional, he has got it down to a tee and that

has got him right the way through the Olympics. All credit to that

style, it's nonstop. You go in with a game plan feeling you can break

Joe down, one, two, three jabs and you start questioning yourself. Why

have -- we have nine fights today, the grand finale on Sunday when we

hope Joe Joyce is going to be involved. Nicola Adams' final

tomorrow about this time on BBC One. If you are fighting against Joe

Joyce, what do you do? Do you have to move? Yes, 100%, there is two

styles, either you are the aggressor and take him on or you can be clever

and say you know what, there's a jab, snip, snip, role, body kit,

then a proper jab, so it's how you deal with Joe, I will say tell the

person dance, just like the cube and the other day, unbelievable

footwork, I want to see phenomenal footwork against Joe, then worry

about that punches after. Are you confident for Joe? I will not talk

in riddles, I believe he can capture a gold medal. Lets hope you are

right, you can see it live on BBC One in about half an hour's time.

John, Anthony, thank you very much, that semifinal to come very, very

soon. Now then, as you can see, quite a few people making their way

around here. He's a very happy gent and a lady, it's also the

thoroughfare here. If I get run over by a golf cart you will know why I

went. We are going to talk about one of Brazil's great hopes and each

volleyball because they had both women and the men, the world number

one As going into this, unfortunately a couple of days ago

it wasn't gold for the women, what could the men do? It was a different

result last night. COMMENTATOR:

Brazil against Italy as the gold medal match and will the home fans

be able to cheer the gold medal they so crave?

We will have some of this. That's the power from Lupo. The crowd

enjoyed that one, the first block of the match. He rolls it into the

corner and Brazil have come from 1-5 down, to 9-8 up. It's been hit and

it stays hit. A big point, this. First set point, Brazil. Brazil are

halfway to the gold-medal! So Brazil get this second set under way. A

chance! Oh, what a point! There's an energy about the Italian power right

now. Finds the mark and they are in front, they are in front for the

first time in the second set. He seems to have the bit between his

teeth. It's electric. On Copacabana Beach. Three match points to Brazil.

We are one point away from Bedlam. This is what they wanted! This is

what they came for! They have delivered gold for Brazil on

Copacabana Beach in the men's beachball.

ORE ODUBA: One of the most celebrated Brazilian
