Oh, yes, very nice touch from the American. | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
So at the 13th, Inbee Park, the tournament leader. Long birdie | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
opportunity for the Korean. Just calms down over a little slope, | :00:47. | :01:02. | |
here, and that is all right, about four or five feet short. | :01:03. | :01:14. | |
A stretch of holes from 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, a really tough slog, quite | :01:15. | :01:34. | |
exposed, some tough holes. Behind them on 13 is Stacy Lewis, | :01:35. | :01:51. | |
all three players reaching the green, making it in two. | :01:52. | :02:23. | |
A birdie putt, Stacy Lewis on 13 has a chance. Good effort. | :02:24. | :02:46. | |
At the 16th, second shot to the 16th by In Gee Chun. Coming up a little | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
short. We are going to leave the Gulf at | :02:57. | :03:21. | |
this stage on BBC Four and a warm welcome to Copacabana Beach. We are | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
going to take you all the way through 2am, and the golf will be | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
available on the Red Button and on the BBC website. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Let's have this putt to birdie -- for birdie and see if you can make | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
9-under par. I've always wanted to be Peter Alliss! Charley Hull, from | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
25 feet. Oh, lovely. She will have that to save par and stay at 8-under | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
par. We will keep you up-to-date with that and let you know how she | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
finishes. Lots of live sport to bring you tonight. We will be at the | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
BMX shortly but this is what is coming up on BBC for the night. -- | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
on BBC four tonight. In a moment, the thrills and spills of the Gold | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Medal races in the finals of the BMX. Lutalo Muhammad is hoping to | :04:13. | :04:22. | |
emulate Jade Jones in her gold-medal triumph, he won bronze four years | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
ago and his quarterfinalist soon and we will bring it to you. If anyone | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
can stop America's dream team, it might be Spain, who won silver at | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
the last two Olympic Games. They meet in this evening's semifinal. | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Sweden's women have already won two penalty shoot out at the games and | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
now they take on Germany into night's final, also coming up. -- in | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
the night's final. And we spoke to her mother the other night, Samantha | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
Murray won a medal four years ago in the modern pentathlon but can she do | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
it again in Rio? Right, we are going to go straight to the BMX medal | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
matches. We promised you would get there straightaway. The women's at | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
first, followed by the men's and they are ready to go so let's get | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
straight across to the commentators. COMMENTATOR: Welcome back the BMX | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
arena at Deodoro as the riders come up onto the stage and prepare for | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
this Olympic final. They have two walk up the stairs, they don't catch | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
a lift. They have the stairs, so many Colombians, cheering on the | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
world champion and the Olympic champion, Mariana Pajon, she is on | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
the inside line there's years, and Laura Smulders alongside her from | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
the Netherlands. What a field and what a race. Just to remind viewers | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
that although we have our best three in the quarterfinals and semifinals, | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
when it gets to the final, this is it it is one and done. Exactly, one | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
straight right to decide the Olympic champion. The semifinals will have | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
given the seedings and the choice of Lane for the start. You want to be | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
on the inside lane, and Mariana Pajon has that honour, of being in | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
lane one and having the best chance of hitting the first corner first. | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
Excitement building here, they are on the outside line from Elke | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
Vanhoof from Belgium, very consistent, top ten finish in all | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
three Supercross races held so far in this calendar year. | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
Next to her, from France, Manon Valentino, the World Championship | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
bronze medallist three years ago. Last year's world champion next to | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
her from Venezuela, Stefany Hernandez. If she wins, she will | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
become the first Venezuelan woman to ever win an Olympic Gold Medal. It's | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
going to be tough from lane six. Yaroslava Bondarenko from Russia, 19 | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
years of age, fifth in the World Championship this year. | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
From the United States, one of two American riders, Alise Post. World | :07:13. | :07:28. | |
silver medallist two years ago. Brooke Crain, fourth in the World | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Championship last year from California, eighth in the Olympic | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
final in London. Laura Smulders on the Netherlands, the Olympic bronze | :07:42. | :07:42. | |
medallist from London. A big draw for a big star, the world | :07:43. | :07:55. | |
champion and defending Olympic champion, Mariana Pajon of Colombia. | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
-- a big roar. Huge expectation on Mariana Pajon | :07:59. | :08:12. | |
committee, it seems as though the whole crowd is Colombian. Can she | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
deal with the pressure? -- Mariana Pajon, here. As we say, they just | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
get one shot at the gold, now. Riders ready. Watch the gate. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Bursting out of the gate, Mariana Pajon nearest the camera, good start | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
by Alise Post from the US, but Mariana Pajon has the inside track. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
She jumps the triples, through the first time, Manon Valentino is down | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
at the first turn, Mariana Pajon leads. The crowd are beside | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
themselves with excitement. Being chased all the way by the American, | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
Alise Post in second place. Hernandez of Venezuelan Redbird. | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Through the rhythm section they go with one more turn to go. Here they | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
come into the finishing straight, she's going to do it for Columbia! | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Mariana Pajon successfully defends her world title, she beat Alise Post | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
of the USA to the line and the Venezuelan Stefany Hernandez take | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
the bronze! What a moment, what a rider! The crowd have got what they | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
came to see, a Colombian gold medal. That was fantastic from Mariana | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Pajon. Everybody in the ground with the yellow, blue and red flags | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
waving. This is what they wanted to see. Fantastic performance and great | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
to see the American rider Alise Post is so happy with her silver medal | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
and Hernandez in third. All you can hope for, second place for Alise | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
Post and in the circumstances, the way that Mariana Pajon is riding on | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
everyone else was racing for second place. We saw Jamie staff, the | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
former track cyclist for Great Britain, now the director of BMX, | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
giving her a huge hug, lifting her off the ground, they are delighted | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
to win a silver medal for America. Hernandez, pondering what might have | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
been. She ends up with a bronze but there was only one winner and the | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
most you can hope for in the Olympic Games is that the best person ends | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
up with the gold medal around their neck and that is certainly going to | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
be the case here because in every race over the day, the three in the | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
semifinal and that one in the final, Mariana Pajon has delivered. She | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
deals with all the pressure. She a massive star in Colombia. She dealt | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
with the pressure of racing on her home track in the World | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
Championships in May, the track that bears her name, no pressure there! | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
You know all about that! But she delivered under that kind of | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
pressure and spotlight and she has done it again in the Olympic Games, | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
the first woman to win two macro gold medals in the BMX. Fantastic. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
She has been consistent. She hasn't just pulled it out of the bag in the | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
final. Every step of the way, she's looked impressive. Never looked like | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
she was in trouble at any stage and to deliver | :10:52. | :11:01. | |
when all that expectation and all of that support from the home crowd, | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
from the Colombian crowd, it feels like a home crowd! That was | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
fantastic. Just coming into finish, all this time later, Manon Valentino | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
France rolls over the line, battered from the crash. But the celebrations | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
have already started back in Colombia and in the stands over on | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
the far side and alongside our commentary position here. Mariana | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Pajon is directly below us. Here is the race once again. Great start for | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Mariana Pajon on the inside but Alise Post really challenged. It was | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
only the fact she was on the outside that she did not take control. But | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
just a very assured performance down the first straight, no mistakes. We | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
quickly saw Valentino going based burst onto the deck. Look at the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
second rider from the left in blue. -- face first onto the deck. Front | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
end first, over rotated and that is a nasty way to fall. The last | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
corner. Oh, Laura Smulders on the deck. Just trying to turn too far | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
and the front wheel cannot take the grip. She washes out and hit the | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
deck very hard. As we said before, this is a nasty surface to fall on. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
She is desperately trying to take a tighter line to challenge Hernandez | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
for the bronze medal. She had to throw everything at it and | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
unfortunately, it did not fail. What a final and what a winner. A very | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
worthy claimant of the gold medal. Let's go back to Jill Douglas at | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
track-side. What a champion, Mariana Pajon and so popular among the | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
Colombian fans. They came to see her win a second gold medal and she has | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
delivered. I'm speechless, unbelievable, she is, even, among | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
the athletes, she is regarded as the best in the world for the women. She | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
is absolutely unbelievable, technical ability that you see the | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
men do it, it is unbelievable, and these guys are going crazy. I can't | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
even speak. I wish I was out there! It must be torturous for you to be | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
standing here watching. I know you wanted to be involved and be on the | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
bike but why is she so good? Why can she be so consistent? I remember her | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
at 12 or 13, and her technical ability then was unparalleled. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Obviously, she has maturing to a young woman. She has got the | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
strength to deliver great starts and honestly, she is on her day, | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
unbeatable. We saw that today, to back up the Olympic title to now | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
draw level with the men's record-holder is unbelievable. Back | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
to you later. Back to Dan. And good to see Lee in good shape. We will be | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
back for the men's race in a moment but we will switch our attention to | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
the taekwondo now because Lutalo Muhammad is representing Great | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
Britain, had a bronze four years ago in London at is involved in the | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
quarterfinal, taking on Steven Lopez, coming out right now, this is | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
a bit of pedigree this event, representing team USA, a gold | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
medallist in 2000 and 2004, and a bronze medallist in Beijing in 2008. | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
But look how confident and house move, he looks like he's enjoying it | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
but I wonder what he is feeling behind the smile? The talk through | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
the quarterfinal, let's go to Neil Adams and John. | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
COMMENTATOR: Lopez, you can audibly hear here and saying he came here to | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
win, Stephen Jennings, much more calm and cool. It was a very calm | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
and cool performance, 14-0 win in the first round. That was for Lutalo | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
Muhammad. Both men will know each other well. Final prayers and | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
preparation and this one is a potential classic. Referee making | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
sure they have got their guards in place. One centimetre is the height | :15:06. | :15:13. | |
difference, both men six foot three but he will stand tallest at the | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
end? Lopez in blue, Lutalo Muhammad, the big man in red, trying to flick | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
forward, a brisket, good counter, turning kick from Lopez. This one | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
already an start. And of course, the age difference, 12 years the senior, | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
the 37-year-old Lopez. A fifth Olympic Games, that's | :15:32. | :15:45. | |
remarkable, it really is, and he didn't do well in London so he will | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
want to put it right here. And a fifth Olympic Games in a combat | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
sport as well. It's not just coming to an Olympic Games, it's the four | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
years you have to prepare for it. It was a long and arduous cycle for | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
Lopez, usually so dominant but coming back through those injuries | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
that you mentioned it has taken him time to find his feet, almost finds | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
a foot into the body protector. Muhammad himself doing well to come | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
back from an injury and establishes form. A little bit of judo there. A | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
tiny bit, it did look like that. It's the first Kyong-go to Muhammad, | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
controversially. You are the best in the world is the advice there from | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
the coach in Spanish. They've decided to coach in Spanish against | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
an English speaking opponent. It's interesting because the coach said, | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
you are here to win, didn't he? Obviously he wants that to beat, if | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
it is last Olympic Games, is he going to try for 41? You never know! | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
41 wouldn't be a reach, just 41 seconds left, as Muhammad goes down | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
again. That Kyong-go, how important could it be? You looks calm, he | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
hasn't got out of first gear yet. He's taking his time, a very good | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
athlete, great presence. When he lets legs go, he causes lots of | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
problems for all its opponents. At the moment it's the American who | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
takes the Kyong-go therefore pulling. A tight match, this? It is | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
tight, isn't it? It all depends on range and we have talked about that | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
before, and how quickly. A reverse turning kick, that would have been a | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
four point shot, excellent, that, Lutalo Mohammed away to the threat, | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
cover that nicely. There's a front leg of his own and it schools | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
perfectly. It's a tale of two head kicks and it's a tale that is better | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
for Lutalo Mohammed. Ten seconds left here. Almost took a reverse | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
turning kick and there's a Kyong-go. That's going to be a 3-point gap. | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
From being three down, there is now three points up, Lutalo Muhammad, | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
excellent recovery guide, it shows you how quickly things change. It | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
does, he just found the range and that's what he needed to make | :18:19. | :18:19. | |
contact with the head. A little bit of more than hope than | :18:20. | :18:33. | |
expectation there, but that to me initially looked like a push rather | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
than a straight shot but a straight shot here well blocked, look at the | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
cover there, so important to have your wits about you. I was going to | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
ask actually about the blocking, it happens so quickly but you could see | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
the hands coming up just to stop that making contacts. The converse, | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
the other hand is just missing. Millimetres will decide this one. On | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
the scoreboard it's looking good for Lutalo Muhammad. He tries to get the | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
crowd up, this is his style. Yes, he's loving it, isn't he, | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
absolutely, he's loving the whole occasion, the whole of the Olympic | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
movement. He loves it. Plenty of movement from Muhammad, but the | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
scoreboard tells the story, a 3-point gap. A counter from the Brit | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
in red, well blocked by Lopez. An aggressive start here, going for the | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
chop kick. Straight off the buzzer there. Lopez not wasting any time. | :19:37. | :19:46. | |
The American fans trying to give birth charge some confidence here -- | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
trying to give their charge some confidence. Lutalo looking confident | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
here. Its change of pace that Lopez hasn't got now, he's probably lost a | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
bit of his speed and been beaten to the punch, I was going to say, but I | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
mean that metaphorically of course. Muhammad doing a good job. | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
Absolutely correct, as you say. The tempo just slowing down a little | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
bit, which might suit the American but Muhammad very patient, that's | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
his style. One minute left in the second tier and it's as we were on | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
the scoreboard. A good threat there from Lutalo Muhammad, tries to go | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
high. That's the second time, isn't it? This time the referee from our | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
perspective, gets it right. It was a bit of a hip toss on the way round | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
so the Kyong-go going against Lopez. Tries with a chop kick, well covered | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
from Lutalo Muhammad. A punch from the American. As we have talked | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
about it is important not to go on the defensive straightaway. No, you | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
can't. Actually, friends much better, just to keep it going | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
actually, if that is what has been scoring for you -- offence. We saw | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
them lose crucial matches yesterday in the last round by backing off, | :21:14. | :21:14. | |
and that was almost to the head. I think we're going to have a bit of | :21:15. | :21:30. | |
a technical issue here. Strange noise emitting from the scoreboard. | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
18 seconds left in a second, a 3-point gap, let's wait and see. | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
This is not the first time there have been technological delays here. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
In the middle of a fight, that's not what you need. What could that be? | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
Some technical problem here as we look at the timekeepers, they've got | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
it sorted a game. Not good enough though, not at the Olympic Games. It | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
has to be rectified, has to be improved. Ten seconds left in the | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
second. A 3-point gap maintained by Lutalo Muhammad, despite the delay a | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
brilliant block again from Muhammad and his concentration has been | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
absolutely resolute here. Covers again. Almost takes a back kick but | :22:14. | :22:23. | |
great credit, Lutalo Muhammad taking his time and maintaining that lead. | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
I love the way that he readjusts his distance all the time. It's all | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
about balance and distance, isn't it? He's just using his hands as | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
well as great defence. Well it was a tale of attack in the | :22:36. | :22:52. | |
first round, but the defence has helped him to maintain that at the | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
moment, the concentration as well from the British fighter in red. | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
It's been absolutely perfect. He's going to have to stay on his game, | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
double Olympic champion, five-time world champion, Steven Lopez a real | :23:08. | :23:08. | |
threat even still. Stephen Jennings with great coaching | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
advice there, aware that the clinch will lead to the chop kick. The | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
men's minus 80 kilograms to quarterfinal, this is their third | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
round, the British fighter as you can see, a handy little lead, a | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
Kyong-go hanging against the American, who changes stance. The | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
American Lopez, so experienced, just trying to fake and intimidate. He | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
will have to go some as Lutalo Muhammad very cool as we have seen, | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
great concentration. You have said so many times that just trying to | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
draw them in, with the changing of stands all the time, trying to get | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
them in the right situation, the right positions in order to get a | :23:59. | :24:10. | |
kick in there to score -- stance. It's like fishing, trying to draw | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
your opponent in. You can see the distance between the two, Lutalo | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
Muhammad trying to get front leg to intimidate. He will have to get a | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
run on here, the American, Steven Lopez in blue. Great defence there | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
from Muhammad. Just signs of slight fatigue from the bridge, not much | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
snap in that shot. Better with that one. He has gone on the defence now, | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
he is letting Lopez come forward and they are trying to pick him off. | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
This one for a spot in the Olympic Games semifinal. An excellent little | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
push kick, just jamming it under the garb that of the American, with 40 | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
seconds left out. It's a four point gain. I good kick from Lutalo | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
Muhammad, that's the athleticism and that puts him into a fantastic | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
position with 30 seconds left in the third. The chop kick goes high and | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
comes down, makes contact with the head, either the guard or the face | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
and gets big points. A comfortable lead. Big points and a big | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
opportunity but sneaking one in under the guard there, Steven Lopez, | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
it's a 9-2 deficit at the moment. Double Olympic champion, five times | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
world champion, can he do something here? Or will it be Lutalo Muhammad, | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
the Great Britain fighter? He has been composed, he has been | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
organised, his confidence is up, and he has the number of the American | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
here. Olympic bronze-medallist in his home Games in London, excellent | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
movement there, slides around the side, avoids the back kick off | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
Lopez, and it's been all Lutalo Muhammad all the way through. Can he | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
maintained his concentration? Five seconds left in the third. A perfect | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
performance Lutalo Muhammad macro, finishes with a head shot. Olympic | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
Games semifinalist from Great Britain. | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
Lutalo Muhammad takes the salute of the crowd, richly deserved, what a | :26:23. | :26:30. | |
game plan and executioner. Yes, it was a game plan, wasn't it? You knew | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
exactly what he had to do and he was waiting. Lopez, you have got to say, | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
was a tall order. You look at when he won World Championships, Olympic | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
Games, it was 37 years of age, did very, very well but it wasn't good | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
enough against Muhammad. It was indeed a perfect performance for | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
Lutalo Muhammad macro, there was the chop kick you mentioned, that | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
3-point ceiling the deal. It was a superb effort from the British | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
fighter in red. A chance to go one step further. | :27:12. | :27:28. | |
Really impressive performance from Lutalo Muhamed and as we are hearing | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
from our commentary team, stay panel -- Steven Lopez, real pedigree in | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
the taekwondo, twice gold-medallist, a bronze-medallist eight years ago. | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
But Lutalo Muhammad, we saw him stroll into the arena with that big | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
smile on his face and look at him, he's confident, he goes into the | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
semifinal, which we will show you on BBC Four at about 9:15pm tonight, so | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
if you would like to see if he can make it into the gold medal match, | :28:01. | :28:02. | |
which would be one better staged than he did in London four years ago | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
when he won the bronze medal, and there was all that talk four years | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
ago about him being selected ahead of Aaron Cook, Cook went to | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
represent the Isle of Wight and then switched to representing Moldova, | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
well, it didn't end well for Cook in Rio, he is out, he lost his first | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
bout. He will not have his dream of fighting Lutalo Muhammad at some | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
stage in this competition. This is the reader where Jade Jones did | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
things, did the business once again last night to win gold, just as she | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
did four years ago -- this is the arena. We are going to wait to see | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
if we can hear from Lutalo Muhammad, or if we need to go back to BMX. He | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
looks to be buzzing, really enjoying himself at taekwondo. A reminder | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
gain, 9:15pm tonight is the semifinal on BBC Four. We can nail | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
-- we can now hear from him, let's go to Nick and hopefully he is | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
chatting to Mr Muhammad. In fact, he's walked away! Oh, we thought we | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
had him! Where has he gone? He's gone for another interview. We will | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
come back to Lutalo Muhammad, we may have to wait a while. While we wait | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
for him, let's hear from Jill Douglas because we are going to show | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
you the men's gold-medal macro rate in the BMX, but we saw the women's | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
race about 15 minutes ago. The miraculous performance from Mariana | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
Pajon, the Colombian, so much home support, Colombian flags macro all | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
over the place and afterwards she spoke to Jill Douglas. | :29:35. | :29:41. | |
Mariana, a quick word, special moments here, celebrating with your | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
boyfriend and coaching team and the wonderful fans who have come here. | :29:46. | :29:48. | |
Double Olympic champion. I don't believe it, I just heard that, it's | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
amazing, I really wanted this one also. I prepared so hard, I worked | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
really hard and I'm here, it's unbelievable. It's like I already | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
did in my mind so many times. I wanted to do it in reality. I am | :30:03. | :30:07. | |
stuck. You looked unbeatable out there today but I'm sure a lot of | :30:08. | :30:11. | |
hard work has gone into delivering a performance like this? 100%, I was | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
working really hard. I've been injured almost all year. The last | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
three months, like 100, so I was already for this one, I was ready, | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
working really hard and I really wanted this one. Celebrate, thank | :30:25. | :30:26. | |
you thank you very much. A delighted Mariana Pajon begin to | :30:27. | :30:36. | |
Jill Douglas. She won that so let's find out who is going to win the | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
men's version. Let's rejoin Simon Brotherton and Sir Chris Hoy. | :30:41. | :30:46. | |
COMMENTATOR: Away they go in the Olympic final and leading on the | :30:47. | :30:53. | |
inside, Sam Willoughby, good start made by Connor Fields, roundabouts | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
corner and Willoughby has lost his way found himself at the back of the | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
field. It is a one-two for the USA at the moment. Nicholas Long leads | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
the way and Connor Fields is in second place. USA one and two, Niek | :31:06. | :31:14. | |
Kimmann challenging for the bronze medal and Willoughby coming | :31:15. | :31:16. | |
Backstrom on the inside, trying to snatch a medal, towards the line, it | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
is going to go to the USA! And Connor Fields is the Olympic | :31:21. | :31:26. | |
champion! Next, Jelle van Gorkom and Nicholas Long grabs the bronze for | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
the Americans. They are victorious and Connor Fields, who went into the | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
Olympic final four years ago as the favourite but ended up in seventh | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
place, delivered in the biggest race of his life. Wow, fantastic first | :31:41. | :31:46. | |
straight from Connor Fields! Both Americans right up there. Nick Long | :31:47. | :31:53. | |
looks as though, as he is great... Finishing in third place at the | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
moment perhaps, we're not sure but the Americans are going absolutely | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
wild down there. There is Nick Long, celebrating his ride. They are | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
saying it is equal third between him and Ramirez at the moment, both | :32:08. | :32:11. | |
given the exact same time. That is the winner, the Olympic champion. A | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
few years ago, when he was younger, Connor Fields wrote on his parents' | :32:16. | :32:22. | |
garage wall, "One day I will be national and world champion", and he | :32:23. | :32:27. | |
added, "I will be Olympic champion". His parents left it and it is still | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
on the wall of their garaged. Excellent, look at the faces, the | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
elation, amazing for USA, a gold, a bronze and silver from the women's | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
race, clean sweep, fantastic. Carlos Ramirez of Columbia, there. He has | :32:42. | :32:47. | |
been given equal third place at the moment with Nick Long. Unless they | :32:48. | :32:51. | |
separate them and it does not look as if they will, there will be two | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
bronze medal handed out. They cannot separate them, 35.5 06. Amazing, do | :32:56. | :33:04. | |
the same thousandth of a second. There's Jamie staff on the right, | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
coming into your screen. The motion, the hard work, all of the crashes, | :33:09. | :33:12. | |
and there is Jamie, he's been Olympic champion, he knows what it | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
feels like. All the effort and all the pain, actually, not just the | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
effort by the physical pain of getting bashed up as BMX riders | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
often do. Crashing is part of the game and Connor Fields, he was so | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
disappointed in London four years ago, he sailed through the | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
quarterfinals and semifinals, won both, everyone thought he had a | :33:32. | :33:34. | |
great chance of becoming Olympic champion but it all went wrong in | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
the final and he ended up in seventh place but for years on, that is a | :33:38. | :33:43. | |
big smile. For Connor Fields, he is racing with a severely damaged | :33:44. | :33:46. | |
wrist. He's got a wrist support and I was chatting to him yesterday and | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
he said technically still broken and he's going to have an operation | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
after the Bicske try to fix it. What about the Australians? They looked | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
so good but Sam Willoughby ended sixth and Anthony Dean did not | :33:58. | :34:02. | |
finish. Willoughby not used to where he is -- not where he's used to | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
being, in control of the fund. The Americans in control at the front, | :34:07. | :34:09. | |
Nick Long at this stage. The first time we have seen the Americans at | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
the front. Yes, and what you do, you can control the race and if you get | :34:15. | :34:17. | |
stuck in a pack, anything can happen at any stage. I don't just be in the | :34:18. | :34:22. | |
Olympic final but any of the races. That seems to be the thing to to | :34:23. | :34:27. | |
write -- to try to get through to the final with minimal drama and | :34:28. | :34:29. | |
then unleash the one performance that really counts and that is what | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
Connor Fields did. Knew was not really under any pressure as he | :34:34. | :34:37. | |
approached the line. It was so close for bronze. It looks as though... It | :34:38. | :34:43. | |
looks as though the Colombian has got that. It looks to me as though | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
the Colombian has got be medal ahead of the American. Yes, it looked as | :34:49. | :34:53. | |
though they would awarded joint bronze medal but clearly from that | :34:54. | :34:56. | |
photo finish, there is the width of a tie between the two of them. We | :34:57. | :35:03. | |
will wait to see the judges decision on that but it looks as though | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
Carlos Ramirez got his front tyre just in front and take the bronze. | :35:08. | :35:13. | |
The crowd like that, gold in the women's race and bronze in the men's | :35:14. | :35:15. | |
race for Columbia. Many congratulations, I know you | :35:16. | :35:25. | |
have been dreaming about this day for a very long time but now you are | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
the Olympic champion, tell me how it feels. Can you say that one more | :35:30. | :35:35. | |
time? You are the Olympic champion. I can't believe it, to be honest, I | :35:36. | :35:38. | |
came across the finish line in the last five minutes I've been purely | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
in shock. It feels so good. I can't wait to get back to my support | :35:43. | :35:46. | |
system back home, my family and friends. Celebrate with them. That | :35:47. | :35:58. | |
was a champion's performance. You looked in such great form all week. | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
Thanks, you know, I knew what this race | :36:02. | :36:01. | |
was all about, getting into the final and making it happen. Once I | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
got into the final, it was time to throw the dice on the table and go | :36:06. | :36:09. | |
for it. Congratulations, well done. That was an exhausted gold | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
medallist. Fantastic crowd at the BMX, particularly today but | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
throughout the event. Jill Douglas is still down there with a man we | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
know would have loved to have been on the podium for this Olympic final | :36:20. | :36:22. | |
but sadly got injured yesterday but is alongside us this afternoon with | :36:23. | :36:29. | |
Sir Chris Hoy as well. What a day. Indeed, Dan, it has been an | :36:30. | :36:32. | |
emotional day, the Colombian fans are still chancing across on the | :36:33. | :36:36. | |
other side and of course the Americans are celebrating Connor | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
Fields' tremendous performance. As you said, disappointment for Liam | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
Phillips not to be involved but wonderful to see the reaction from | :36:44. | :36:46. | |
all the riders coming through, coming up and asking Lee how he was. | :36:47. | :36:51. | |
Mariana Pajon won her Olympic race, the gold medal and the best thing | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
she said to Liam Watts, "How are you?" Gives UNIDO of what she's like | :36:57. | :37:01. | |
as an individual. I've calmed down a bit now. She is such a deserving | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
winner. She's been so good in the World Cup series and the World | :37:06. | :37:08. | |
Championships, and to win in front of pretty much a Colombian crowd, it | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
doesn't get any better. It's been a great day for BMX. And Connor | :37:14. | :37:17. | |
Fields, tremendous performance from him, he's part of the setup that is | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
run by Jamie Staff, your old team-mate from the team sprint. | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
Jamie was one of the Busby but to congratulate him, he knows what it | :37:28. | :37:29. | |
feels like to win Olympic gold but he was a worthy winner. Sam | :37:30. | :37:33. | |
Willoughby was the favourite going into the final, had been consistent | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
all series but it's all about that one ride, and Connor Fields produced | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
a fantastic start and was in contention and then passed him on | :37:41. | :37:45. | |
the third straight. You see what it meant to him Ajirotutu swore when he | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
was a kid that he would be Olympic champion one day and his parents | :37:50. | :37:52. | |
never painted over it so I wonder if they will now? You never know. I | :37:53. | :37:58. | |
doubt it very much and his dad is British? Yes, there was some talk | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
prior to London for him to come and ride for Team GB. My conversations | :38:03. | :38:06. | |
with him, basically, he did not feel like he could win a race like this | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
and then come and be interviewed and talk with an American accent. | :38:10. | :38:14. | |
Obviously, today has been a great day for him, his first race back | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
from injury after his wrist injury. He has not raced at all this season | :38:19. | :38:21. | |
so it makes it even more remarkable to come and do a sport like this | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
which is so tactical, so much going on, to be able to step up and | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
deliver like that is pretty impressive. What a time to bring | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
your best game. That's what it's all about, like all sports, it's about | :38:33. | :38:35. | |
dealing with pressure, focusing, forgetting anything that has come in | :38:36. | :38:47. | |
the lead up to it. He's had highs and lows and injuries, as Liam says | :38:48. | :38:50. | |
and all of these guys have got injuries. They are bolted together | :38:51. | :38:52. | |
to get to the start line. It is all credit to them that they keep | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
bouncing back and the training that goes through it. These athletes are | :38:56. | :38:57. | |
track sprinters at the velodrome with extra skill and nerve and all | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
of these added quality to make them into world-class BMX riders, they | :39:01. | :39:04. | |
are producing the same times as the track sprinters and sometimes they | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
don't get the credit due. BMX is a serious sport, as we have seen, | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
great spectacle and this was a great advert for the sport. You can see | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
what it means to everyone here, what a fantastic event it has been. It | :39:15. | :39:22. | |
has indeed, Liam, it's not ended the way you would have hoped but as we | :39:23. | :39:25. | |
have seen with Connor Fields, he was disappointed in London and he came | :39:26. | :39:28. | |
back four years later to win a gold medal. So the question is, I know | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
you are going to have a bit of a break but are you going to come to | :39:32. | :39:34. | |
Tokyo? Right now, I would love to because I know that if I had raced | :39:35. | :39:37. | |
here today and been successful, I probably would have said that it was | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
my Olympic time done but the fact it hasn't happened, you know, I've got | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
such a strong desire to be Olympic champion. Yeah, it won't be long | :39:45. | :39:50. | |
before I'm back training, I'm sure! It is something I have yet to | :39:51. | :39:53. | |
achieve. Training with somebody like this for so long, you see what can | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
be achieved with hard work and dedication. I would be a fool to | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
turn my back on it. Absolutely. We wish you all the best and hopefully | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
the next time, you are on the other side of the fence and not with me! | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
Thank you for joining us. Back to you. | :40:12. | :40:17. | |
Thank you, Jill, Liam and Sir Chris. We will take a breath now. Lovely to | :40:18. | :40:21. | |
be with you on BBC Four at Copacabana, the win has picked up, | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
as you concede and a lovely day here in Rio. 27 degrees but the old | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
breeze is bringing it down a bit. We will do our normal stuff through the | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
evening. We will answer some of your questions and we would love to get | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
your tweets and that kind of thing as usual. We have even had a visit | :40:40. | :40:49. | |
from the Copacabatman as well. Nice to see you, thanks for popping by, | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
congratulations on your gold medals, by the way. We can't hear you at the | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
moment but we will come and have a chat maybe later. Thanks for asking. | :40:58. | :41:03. | |
Anyway, let's carry on with the rest of the day's sport because in terms | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
of what has happened today, Joe Joyce has made it through to the | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
gold medal match, that has been on BBC One in the last half an hour or | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
so, in the boxing. Also, a gold medal for Nick Skelton in individual | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
show-jumping, amazing story for him, in 2000, he retired with a broken | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
neck, in 2011, he had a hip replacement and in 2016, he has won | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
Olympic gold, a remarkable story forward next -- Nick Skelton and yet | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
another gold for Team GB. Will Lutalo Muhammad add another medal? | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
He's certainly in the bronze medal match and he's going to try to get | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
into the gold medal match at 9:15pm in the UK. After his quarterfinal | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
win over Steven Lopez of America, he managed to grab a very brief chat | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
with Nick Pope. Enjoying it? Loving it, loving it, | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
crowd is great energy is magnificent, let's keep going. I | :41:57. | :42:02. | |
told you it was brief! About four seconds and a punch to the camera | :42:03. | :42:09. | |
and he is gone. Huge demand from you to see the Copacabatman so would you | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
like to see the cheese cabal? He was here about half an hour ago. I'm | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
afraid you have deleted hot. I had a bite and the rest of the crew | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
finished it off but it has now gone. -- cheese kitbag. How much did it | :42:22. | :42:29. | |
cost? Six real, a bargain, about ?1 40, more than a coconut which is | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
about five. Normally they are about two but with the tourists turn up | :42:35. | :42:37. | |
for the World Cup and the Olympics, they bump up the prizes like | :42:38. | :42:43. | |
everyone, understandable. Look at that, a travel barbecue. Let's show | :42:44. | :42:46. | |
you the timetable for what is going to be happening in the next few | :42:47. | :42:47. | |
hours. We shall also be bringing you some | :42:48. | :43:38. | |
very carefully selected sites and sounds from the beach. The whole | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
team are keeping a very careful eye on what is going on behind us. If | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
you spot anything, let us know. We have been out there already, | :43:49. | :43:51. | |
checking, making sure and hopefully we won't have a repeat of that | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
reading incident of yesterday, which has gone down so well. Shall we have | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
some basketball? I think it's time we did. Let's go to the Carioca | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
arena because this is the American dream team that have not lost a | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
match since the Athens games in 2004, they have looked rusty in | :44:11. | :44:13. | |
their qualifying matches, some of them, and Spain have a number of top | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
NBA players as well. We will show you the second semifinal between | :44:18. | :44:21. | |
Australia and Serbia later but first, it is Spain against the USA | :44:22. | :44:24. | |
and we are going to join it in the first quarter and our commentators | :44:25. | :44:30. | |
are -- commentator is Mike Castle. COMMENTATOR: Hopeful Spain. Having a | :44:31. | :44:51. | |
little bit of trouble from that line. Zero from two so far, direct | :44:52. | :45:02. | |
has missed one. -- Kevin Durant. Lots of talking going on on the | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
floor at the moment. Of course, the two sets of players know each other | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
so well, not only meeting in international basketball but in the | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
NBA. Anthony finally getting a free throw. 17-11, 13 -- three minutes | :45:14. | :45:22. | |
and 13 seconds remaining. Anthony comes to the bench and coming in is | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
Jimmy Butler, has not seen much time, a swing forward, a guard | :45:27. | :45:32. | |
forward from the Chicago Bulls. Pau Gasol, one-on-one with Cousins. | :45:33. | :45:40. | |
I think Pau Gasol was waiting for it. It is coming and there it is, | :45:41. | :45:47. | |
the foul to go... What Cousins need to learn is that kind of, "What, | :45:48. | :45:54. | |
me?" Look, a shrug of the shoulders. The more obvious the foul, the more | :45:55. | :45:57. | |
important it is to pretend you never did anything. Rod trying to make it | :45:58. | :46:01. | |
a four point game and that would be really encouraging. US already in a | :46:02. | :46:07. | |
penalty situation as is Spain. You can see the light on the scoring | :46:08. | :46:09. | |
tables are both lit. It's been averaging 54% from the fan | :46:10. | :46:21. | |
line but he had a couple of bad games but he's still getting 17 | :46:22. | :46:26. | |
points a game and he is so important to the game. If he fires, they have | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
a chance. He had nine in the first quarter, that's been the game plan | :46:31. | :46:37. | |
so far. I drive with the little reverse lay-off, Paul George, that's | :46:38. | :46:46. | |
lovely. 19-13. Sergi Roberto -- Sergio Rodriguez. Dribbling around. | :46:47. | :46:54. | |
Gasol tries to get it inside to Reyes. But it is Butler who knocked | :46:55. | :47:02. | |
it away. It is Cousins who comes down and gives the ball back outside | :47:03. | :47:08. | |
to Kyle Lowry. Lowry driving through the digs, kicks it back outside to | :47:09. | :47:13. | |
Paul George. George has it knocked away by Rodriguez, the US will keep | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
possession but there's only six on the shot clock and we saw Durant | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
lurking on the outside on the other side of the court. Well Lowry takes | :47:22. | :47:27. | |
it to the Hoop himself, gets his own rebound and lays it in with the left | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
hand. We don't see quite enough of players following their own shots. | :47:33. | :47:36. | |
Even at this level, it's not a lost art but it's one a lot of people | :47:37. | :47:42. | |
stand and watch the shots. They were watching the ball come off in Spain, | :47:43. | :47:47. | |
because they didn't push for the re-pound, to deny the USA a second | :47:48. | :47:53. | |
look. Rodriguez nearly lost that to Jimmy Butler. Rodriguez for three, | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
doesn't hit. Durant with the rebound and he will bring it down himself. | :47:58. | :48:02. | |
Lowry right into the corner with George, George wants to drive, stops | :48:03. | :48:06. | |
and takes the fade away, hits the back of the ring and bounces out and | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
Rodriguez comes down for Spain now, 1.15 to play, Rodriguez behind the | :48:11. | :48:18. | |
back to Gasol 43. Beautiful stuff, wonderful stuff, he took a couple of | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
steps in, Drew the defence back, wide open for the set shot, 21-16. | :48:23. | :48:30. | |
That was the best part of the game for Spain, they need to improve but | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
at least that was encouraging from Gasol. They have another turnover | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
here. Carmela was looking to see if there would be a foul, he took the | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
two and shot an airball but that long three is off from Spain, we | :48:44. | :48:48. | |
come back down to Durant and he has Rudy on him, he's shoots over Rudy, | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
and Cousins crashes the boards and lays it in softly, 23-16, 30 seconds | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
to go. They are dominating the boards at the moment, you the United | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
States, that's making a difference for them, getting chances at the | :49:04. | :49:06. | |
basket and making sure the second one goes in at least. | :49:07. | :49:15. | |
Durant, has he called for the blocking foul with his hands? It was | :49:16. | :49:24. | |
Durant's shot off the rim but look at Cousins, saw the path through to | :49:25. | :49:27. | |
the basket, no one boxed him out and that is Gasol's three. How many big | :49:28. | :49:36. | |
names like him, shoot from outside? Durant is looking for a replay, | :49:37. | :49:40. | |
which I don't think they've put a replay upon the board, he's getting | :49:41. | :49:43. | |
frustrated. He wants to see exactly what it was he did wrong. But that | :49:44. | :49:50. | |
sends Felipe Reyes to the foul line. He's another one who is 36 years | :49:51. | :49:54. | |
old, he's played for real Madrid since 2004. That's consistency. He's | :49:55. | :50:00. | |
twice been the Spanish league's MVP, he did that, six years apart. They | :50:01. | :50:07. | |
look after their players, Real Madrid. He misses the second, he's a | :50:08. | :50:13. | |
valuable player, your prototypes hard-working big man. Makes the most | :50:14. | :50:19. | |
of his talent. Lowry, from three. He heads. 26-17. -- he hits. Rodriguez, | :50:20. | :50:30. | |
three quarters of the court, from the Copacabana, and he misses the | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
shot and the 3-point shot at the end gives the US probably a slightly | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
bigger lead than you might expect. Kevin Durant still wants to know | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
what it was he did to commit the foul. He is trying to demonstrate, | :50:42. | :50:48. | |
come on, I think that's Mr Ray from Mexico. The score at the end of one | :50:49. | :50:54. | |
quarter, take a look at the stats. I think the 3-pointers and the rebound | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
is what the United States are really dominating in and that's what has | :50:59. | :51:01. | |
given them the 9-point lead after the first quarter. Remember, it's a | :51:02. | :51:11. | |
closer 3-point circle than they used to in the NBA. | :51:12. | :51:29. | |
STUDIO: We shall be back shortly. We are | :51:30. | :51:34. | |
down here on Copacabana Beach, thank you for the messages and questions | :51:35. | :51:38. | |
and queries and texts and tweets we've been receiving already | :51:39. | :51:41. | |
tonight. I'm not going to go through them all yet, we're here until 2am, | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
we have plenty of time to read all those but some interesting questions | :51:46. | :51:49. | |
nonetheless, which I'll maybe ask some of the BBC for teams that are | :51:50. | :51:54. | |
situated down here. Let's show you some of the headlines from today, | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
from a Team GB perspective because Nick Skelton has had a really | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
impressive day in the individual show-jumping. It came down to an | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
incredibly tight gold medal decision, a six way jump off, but | :52:07. | :52:12. | |
Skelton was the man who came out on top. He pops his gold medal out of | :52:13. | :52:17. | |
his jacket, over on the Red Button for you at the moment is the last | :52:18. | :52:23. | |
stages of the women's dolls, from Baja Bostock Charley Hull, last time | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
we saw her, was eight under par, we've had a hole in one today, nine | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
of the top ten golfers are taking part in this. Charley Hull has | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
dropped a couple of shots unfortunately, now at six under par, | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
the final round tomorrow. She's still in contention, four shots off | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
the lead, so if you would like to see the conclusion of the women's | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
golf, it's over on the Red Button right now. We are going to pop back | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
to the basketball. We will rejoin the commentators, into the second | :52:55. | :52:59. | |
period, with the USA with a 7-point lead. | :53:00. | :53:10. | |
COMMENTATOR: It's a two pointer if it goes, if it | :53:11. | :53:20. | |
doesn't, the shot clock sets to 14, not to 24, the loose ball coming and | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
Anthony again hits nothing. Anthony for three. Off the front of the | :53:25. | :53:31. | |
game, tied up for the rebound, it comes loose and there will be a | :53:32. | :53:37. | |
foul. It was Lowry on the ground. How hard does Spain have to work to | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
keep the United States from scoring? They've given them a chance after | :53:42. | :53:44. | |
chance. They've got away with it here. But when you have to work so | :53:45. | :53:49. | |
hard, then going down the other end, it must be really tiresome. Both | :53:50. | :53:52. | |
teams looking so desperate as well. Extraordinary stuff there are that | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
one going Spain's way. You saw Hernangomez, it looks worse than it | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
is, Lowry is going for the ball, he's not trying to trip the player | :54:03. | :54:05. | |
or anything like that. isn't it part of the Spain game as well, this is | :54:06. | :54:11. | |
where most of their bench players are on now. There's a technical | :54:12. | :54:16. | |
against Scariolo. There's another one. He's just signalled it twice, | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
you can hear what Scariolo was, it was in English and it was not a | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
polite term to use. He's got to stay cool, he needs to be composed | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
because these players need to stay composed and they can ill afford to | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
give the ball back. Now he's given the ball away and probably a as | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
well. That's from your coach, you cannot afford to have that. | :54:39. | :54:41. | |
Remember, this isn't football. If you slide across, it's not a foul if | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
you don't get the ball, it is foul, it's called a foul, but it's not an | :54:48. | :54:51. | |
unsportsmanlike fouls. Anthony could not, if you give him a hammer right | :54:52. | :54:59. | |
now he could not hit a nail. Is he the best one may have right now? No, | :55:00. | :55:12. | |
that's the crazy thing. He mistimed. Scariolo likes to get away with this | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
without the worst punishment but still, that's not good for Spain, at | :55:17. | :55:21. | |
a point where they needed to stay cool, their bench players are on. , | :55:22. | :55:29. | |
Low was over four from the floor --, low. That's amazing. He's in the | :55:30. | :55:35. | |
post, the high post, they've got two in the post and the shot misses the | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
game. They got away with it without conceding a point, it's | :55:41. | :55:43. | |
extraordinary. Navarro, trying to find a way past Jimmy Butler, Jimmy | :55:44. | :55:49. | |
Butler knocks the ball away and here comes Lowry, at pace. Cousins coming | :55:50. | :55:58. | |
back up to centre screen, Jimmy Butler. The shot is off here comes | :55:59. | :56:09. | |
Navarro, the team captain and another 36-year-old. Crosscourt to | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
Rodriguez. Lowry was right there. That's going to be a foul on Paul | :56:14. | :56:20. | |
George. Paul George may have just picked up a technical. Yes, it is. | :56:21. | :56:28. | |
It seems he must have said something to the referee. He did say something | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
to the referee, I'm not sure what it is. You might think of it as a | :56:33. | :56:36. | |
make-up call. There, we've seen this one before, the tie-up and then | :56:37. | :56:43. | |
throw yourself out. He tied, Hernangomez in fairness had a grip | :56:44. | :56:47. | |
on Paul George's Amen threw himself out, Paul George complained about it | :56:48. | :56:53. | |
and got fatigues and you want to bet that when Carlos Navarro Womble will | :56:54. | :56:59. | |
not miss the foul. -- Juan-Carlos Navarro will not miss the foul. It | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
seems amazingly put Anthony and the line before will stop Butler has | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
been on the court, shooting 94% from the foul line. I couldn't agree | :57:09. | :57:12. | |
more. Spain have got away with that. Now they have their own technical. | :57:13. | :57:16. | |
In that battle of the technicals they certainly won it. Claver was | :57:17. | :57:23. | |
looking for Rodriguez. He is going to shoot the three. In and out and | :57:24. | :57:28. | |
the rebound by Jordan, who has replaced Cousins. Thompson is back | :57:29. | :57:32. | |
in the game from the US. Durant waiting outside. Thompson drives. | :57:33. | :57:44. | |
The alley up to Jordan, he sticks it through, 28-20. We haven't seen | :57:45. | :57:48. | |
enough of that from the US in this whole tournament. It's really the | :57:49. | :57:54. | |
kind of thing they can do well. Rodriguez's basket is off tip, it | :57:55. | :58:01. | |
goes out. Over to Rodriguez. Hernangomez set the little screen, | :58:02. | :58:04. | |
Rodriguez with a pass, dotted to Hernangomez butty hit the shot off | :58:05. | :58:12. | |
the back and they executed that really well but couldn't finish. | :58:13. | :58:16. | |
That's the problem, you can execute as well as you want, you need to | :58:17. | :58:22. | |
finish it. That's the alley up from Thompson. Reyes not even aware that | :58:23. | :58:25. | |
Jordan has gone inside him on the baseline. The picture of Jordan with | :58:26. | :58:34. | |
the Olympic gymnast, the woman gymnast, who is only 4'6", one of | :58:35. | :58:44. | |
the top Twitter means. That's a two. It's 30-20, three minutes gone in | :58:45. | :58:50. | |
the second quarter and this is the trouble for Spain. Their bench | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
players are on and they need to keep up with the United States and at the | :58:55. | :59:00. | |
moment the US are starting to pull away a little bit. If Thomson keeps | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
hitting those threes, they could really pull away. The problem, | :59:05. | :59:09. | |
Rodriguez knows someone has to shoot, the problem with having | :59:10. | :59:11. | |
Claver and Hernangomez and Reyes is they really don't have the shooters | :59:12. | :59:16. | |
who are explosive or offensive players and that's going to be a | :59:17. | :59:21. | |
foul on Kyrie Irving, as he's wanting to stop Reyes from getting a | :59:22. | :59:27. | |
pass down court. They have Calderon in the team but he doesn't seem to | :59:28. | :59:31. | |
play much at all. Obviously there's a fitness issue with him but at | :59:32. | :59:34. | |
least give him a couple of minutes. These are the three from Thompson. | :59:35. | :59:38. | |
Could this finally be the game where he gets going? It's been | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
extraordinary, the amount he has missed from 3-point range. He's got | :59:43. | :59:46. | |
two out of three in this game. Was it a turn in the end? He did Deb on | :59:47. | :59:52. | |
the line. At least he shot from the corner it will be encouraging for | :59:53. | :59:57. | |
him. If he makes it a two he has... INAUDIBLE | :59:58. | :00:07. | |
The thing I would enjoy as when coach Scariolo tells the team not to | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
lose their tempers. That's the trouble when you do something like | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
that! You can't then tell your players to stay cool. They go, what | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
about you? In this game... In the game where | :00:18. | :00:40. | |
the United States were pushed against Serbia, didn't look this | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
comfortable. Still a long way to go, only ten points and it and the big | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
players come back on and start firing for Spain... That close-up of | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
Anthony and Mirotic, it illustrates how difficult the referee's job is. | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
This is a very physical game, basketball in general, and there is | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
a lot of pushing and shoving. It goes on all the time and the | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
referees have a tough job trying to play and deciding who is giving up. | :01:11. | :01:27. | |
That one goes in and out, still keeping the rebounder life. | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
Rodriguez, really the best shooter out there. In. Used his body to keep | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
away from Jordan. Jordan on the rebound. Stepping back into the | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
corner is Butler and he is in as much red defence as anything else. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
It is tapped away by Rhodri Ghezzal gets called for the fall. I think it | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
is just for reaching in because every time someone does that, it is | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
a foul. Butler, left Rodriguez alone. The referees do tend to | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
punish it a lot more than they do the grab and bumping up shot and | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
chest. He could have been called for the foul after he took the ball. | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
Thompson fillets three. -- for three. | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
Mirotic is back in the game. Navarro with the floater and it is good. | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
Navarro is playing with such energy right now. He has been here before | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
against the US and he knows what it is going to take. He has got the | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
mismatch with Klay Thompson down on the baseline. Mirotic is going | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
one-on-one with his team-mate Jimmy Butler. Claver on Butler. Tries to | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
put a left-handed shot up and it won't go. Look at Claver hustle, | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
under the basket. Navarro drives in another floater and misses but it is | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
tipped in by Hernangomez. Right now, Spain is outscoring the US in the | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
second quarter. How encouraging is this for Spain? Hernangomez with the | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
rebound. Rodrigues Duque dribbles back and sets up. -- Rodriguez | :03:56. | :04:07. | |
dribbles back. Claver! Just a two but it makes it a four point game. | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
Look at Calderon, he is up and screaming. United States not getting | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the offensive rebound is. They keep cutting the score down. No movement | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
in the inside. Durant for a long three. Doesn't get it. It will be a | :04:30. | :04:44. | |
fall, Sjekloca on him. Every time you say something, it will be a | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
technical foul. He has called it an Sergio Scariolo, I think it was on | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Couzins before and now an Durant, that is what you have to be aware of | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
and the way the game is being refereed. | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
United States are getting frustrated Huw. You just have to keep plugging | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
away. Navarro makes another one so he has | :05:09. | :05:21. | |
two points just from technical fouls. Spain will have possession | :05:22. | :05:33. | |
and it is a three point game. The US have decided to take time out and | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
let things cool down. I would love to see a replay of that shot. That | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
was so far off you wouldn't be surprised if he had been fouled. It | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
wasn't the usual Durant shot. Take a drink, cool down, get back into the | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
game. That foul was so bad, it left a handprint on his back. There it | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
is. Hard to tell from that angle. Hernangomez was turned around, | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
facing the other way. These calls are going to happen and you have to | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
get on with it. There is Claver from the corner. Rodrigues Duque look the | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
other way. There is Paul Durant. I wonder why he isn't getting more | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
minutes during the game? I think is a marvellous player. He had a good | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
season for the New York Knicks last year. | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
They didn't have the shooters or the playmakers. I'm sure Sergio Scariolo | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
knows what he's doing. He has got them within three right now with | :07:01. | :07:09. | |
3.36 to play in the first half. Gasol is back in. Into the corner, | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
Fernandez. Gasol working one-on-one with Couzins. The pass went behind | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
and wrote itch was already in the corner. | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
Draymond Green is in for the US now. That is him getting the ball. | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
Thompson, back to Green. Green throws it. Anthony was standing on | :07:40. | :07:52. | |
the baseline. I think that might have been the Mirotic. Someone | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
yelled and it is Mirotic who has been called for a technical. I heard | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
a yell. What did he say? Why would he say anything? | :08:03. | :08:14. | |
They called a foul for a Porsche and we didn't see the referee... They | :08:15. | :08:29. | |
called a foul for pushing Anthony. We have seen more technicals... Not | :08:30. | :08:40. | |
than in any other game because they're -- there was one game when | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
there was an injection of the coach. That is a big loss for Spain. | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
The second best game so far and still a half to go. If Thompson | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
starts firing, this could really spelt trouble for Spain. They're | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
like this one-on-one match up. Gasol versus Cousins. Draymond Green poked | :09:12. | :09:21. | |
it onto the baseline. Spain will keep possession with 2.2 to -- two | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
.22 remaining in the half. Reyes will drive. Anthony goes up | :09:29. | :09:40. | |
with the left hand and he misses but he comes up again. Thompson is | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
telling him, stay quiet. Exactly! Cannot afford to react at the | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
moment, there are technicals coming from everywhere. You can see the | :09:53. | :10:03. | |
hand of Reyes there. What about the offensive rebounding from Spain? | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
That was incredible. That is the big change from the first quarter. Spain | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
actually leading this quarter 13-10. The US led by seven at the end of | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
the first quarter. Nine, at the end of the first quarter. I was doing | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
the maths in my head but I was getting some help, holding up nine | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
fingers! Thank you for that. They were four technical fouls in | :10:31. | :10:58. | |
the match between Croatia and Spain. Once the referee gave it to Sergio | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
Scariolo... Once the referee makes a call like | :11:03. | :11:16. | |
that and then he backed it up with another one, he draws a line in the | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
sand and you cannot cross that line. Some players have learned the hard | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
way but hopefully now it stops. That would be the idea. Draymond Green | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
coming back out. Only three points so far for Caerau | :11:33. | :11:42. | |
Evans. The Rodriguez brings it up for | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
Spain. Fernandez can be a deadly shooter. | :11:49. | :12:19. | |
Rodriguez on Irving. Anthony hits the three. 1.20 in the half. The | :12:20. | :12:32. | |
shooters are picking up both there. It has been a chute -fest. -- shoot. | :12:33. | :12:44. | |
That went right past Cousins like he was standing still and Cousins was | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
gesturing to the referee like you had been held. I think we may have | :12:51. | :13:04. | |
some more T action here. A foul called on Reyes row. This seems | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
extraordinary. We will take a look. Cousins and Reyes. It was Reyes | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
hitting the ball when Cousins was going for it. It is technically | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
speaking unsportsmanlike conduct to deny the team the ball. Much as they | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
are applying the letter of the law at the moment. At least in some | :13:36. | :13:36. | |
areas. The rebound to Fernandez. What | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
strength shown by Fernandez. He looks a little more concerned | :13:46. | :14:02. | |
than usual. The coach for the USA never smiles, though. Marcus Couzens | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
has three fouls. Spain has 13 personal fouls. Rotich | :14:06. | :14:24. | |
with four. Durant and Cousins each have three. Durant is out of the | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
game and that is a big loss for the United States. | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
Fernandez has got seven. Reyes comes out. He couldn't allow any more | :14:38. | :14:51. | |
fouls to be conceded. Particularly any more technicals. | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
A 3-point lead for the US. Jimmy Butler steals the rebound, takes | :14:58. | :15:13. | |
Thompson and he hit another three. 45-39, and Klay Thompson's three is | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
the only reason right now that the US has the lead. It's wonderful to | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
see Klay Thompson firing at the Olympic Games. He has struggled for | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
most of it, but it looks like in the semifinal he has come to life. | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
Rodriguez once the last shot. Irving is on him. He spins it round, kicks | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
it back out. There is the opening shot. It doesn't matter, because he | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
didn't drop in. But what an interesting half. The score at the | :15:46. | :15:57. | |
half is United States 45-39 Spain. STUDIO: we shall be back with that | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
for later. Nice and close, that semifinal. An early reminder for you | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
that Lutalo Muhammad of Team GB is into the semifinals in the | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
taekwondo. We will be there at 9:15pm. Around about an hour from | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
here. It is that Tommy went on our -- it is time we went on our first | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
wonder of evening. This is where the circuit training takes place just to | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
my left ear. No sign of it yet, they normally turn up at around 8pm our | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
time. He wasn't yesterday, it was a sad moment for so many. It a public | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
holiday, maybe there was no circuit training. Anthony Walt Thompson, | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
hopefully back tonight. Ten nights training out of 11. The Copocabinmen | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
will be here later on. Normally these are just full of coconuts. | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
Let's go right to the Atlantic. You can see how windy it is. This is | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
where the Brownie brothers were. If you look into the distance you can | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
see exactly where the finish line was and that is where the Brownie | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
Brothers won gold or silver yesterday. You will have seen the | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
swim yesterday. It was incredibly calm out there. Today, the red no | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
swimming flag is up today. People are popping in. We have fishermen as | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
well. I went if he's caught anything in Fisherman's corner. You can see | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
how rough it is and the likes of Non Stanford and Vicky Jenkins will be | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
going in the women's triathlon which takes place tomorrow. Oh, look. | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
Fisherman's corner! Look at the little tiddler. I think of be | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
fishing that we've seen that might be the biggest of the lot. It's | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
still not a whopper. I'm sure as tells his friends, "It'll grow | :18:03. | :18:12. | |
reclamation mark" look at that, the next-generation Fisherman's corner | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
being taught how to do the business with rod. Regarding the triathlon, | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
you can see how rough it is out there at the moment. The conditions | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
are really tough golfers in these conditions. The wind has really | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
blown on day three of the women's tournament. Let's show you the | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
leaderboard. We had high hopes for Charley Hull and she is still in | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
with a shout. About ten miles down the coast from where we are at the | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
golf course. We are at Copacabana. Inbee Park is 12 under par. Leading | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
the way. She is out on the course with Charley Hull who is six shots | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
off the lead. We will pick them up on the 18th. This is Charley 's | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
seven. Let's see how they play this final hole and then we will show you | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
something quite special. Two hole in ones on the golf course today. We | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
will show you after Charley Hull and Inbee Park have finished the final | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
hole of the day. The commentary from this is Aaron Wilkinson Brendon Todd | :19:15. | :19:15. | |
four. COMMENTATOR: good sensible play. | :19:16. | :19:44. | |
Inbee Park has found the sand with her tee shot. Unless she goes... Oh, | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
obviously taking plenty of loft here. The lie is all right, but it | :19:53. | :20:06. | |
is just how much loft she needs to get it out. | :20:07. | :20:19. | |
She's going to be about 260 here. She will be well over 200 metres. | :20:20. | :20:35. | |
In her keenness to get this ball up, she just came into it. Just missed | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
the lip. A lot of sand here. Now Stacy Lewis. | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
What are those birds? We need to find out. We need to find out what | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
they are. Noisy! Stacy Lewis, her second here at the last. Perfect, | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
just heading to the left-hand side of the fairway. That's perfect. | :21:13. | :21:29. | |
A little earlier, this is Marianne Skarpnord. For her par, this was | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
earlier at the last. Not to be. So, that is a round of 75 for Marianne | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
Skarpnord, finishing at three under. I'm not sure how far she is, but we | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
will say it is under 200 metres. She's got that three wood in her | :21:57. | :21:57. | |
hand there. She is so accurate. She is so | :21:58. | :22:14. | |
dynamic with her short game that you can just about to give a par from | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
there anyway. But pin is not in a particularly tough place today. | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
Coming from the angle that she is, she knew she could put it over to | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
the left-hand side to give herself plenty of room. She needs an up and | :22:30. | :22:42. | |
down here for a round of 69. Marianne Skarpnord tapped in for | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
bogey. It's been a tough day for her. Finishes at three under for the | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
tournament. Richard Green, her partner and caddie top has very much | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
played a lot of European Tour golf. Nicole Broch Larsen is now plus | :23:04. | :23:33. | |
three. That was a round of 81. 81 for the game. That is a tough day on | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
the golf course. -- V Dane. Inbee Park does have a three shot | :23:36. | :23:49. | |
lead at the moment and she will be very keen to hang onto that. To do | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
that she has to get this up and down. How many times this afternoon | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
have we seen this get up and down and make par from this similar | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
situation? Par three, par four and par five. We need to go back to the | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
16th hole where she played a wonderful approach shot from just | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
off the green at 45 metres. Here is the 18th, there is the pin today. As | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
we do a 360 degrees, that is looking back down the fairway. Up to the | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
right there where Inbee Park will be coming in from. | :24:25. | :24:36. | |
It's not a dust storm but we've had a lot of strong winds today. | :24:37. | :24:54. | |
It swings right to let a little bit? It's like one o'clock action. | :24:55. | :25:19. | |
Hang in there. Just on the back of the green. It's going to be about 25 | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
feet. 101 metres, or 80. She is hitting a | :25:27. | :26:03. | |
low eight I'm in here, that's what she got for 100 metres. -- a low | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
eight iron. She's just going to knock it in, control it with the | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
hands and the length of the swing. A full swing. Now wants her to get | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
down. Yes, that did seem to me a lot of club from a distance. The wind is | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
blowing. Well, with the upswing. Now she is in the rough stuff way over | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
the back of the green. Inbee Park is about the same, 83 metres. That | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
looks like a wedge to me. It does, doesn't it? It's about right, you | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
would think, with the wind. Yes, very nice. Underneath the hole. | :26:56. | :27:10. | |
And imminently makeable putt for Inbee Park. She has got a couple of | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
those on the back nine and have another chance here. Her three shot | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
strategy is working a treat. It has to be with this wind. A critical | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
shot here was the third shot, judging how strong that wind is. | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
Stacy Lewis didn't get it right. Clearly, Inbee Park did. With an | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
eight iron. Eight iron was all right if she would have punched in there. | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
But I was surprised to see the full swing that it was. Inbee Park, LPGA | :27:44. | :27:57. | |
Hall of Famer. She's got to have an out to in swing here. Take the club | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
outside the line. Try and cut it somehow. Like that. That went way | :28:06. | :28:12. | |
past the pin down to the front edge. Careful, that could roll off all the | :28:13. | :28:21. | |
way down the bottom. It's gone, it's gone. She's paid the price for | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
taking that 8-iron from 100 metres. Meanwhile, Inbee Park and Charley | :28:28. | :28:49. | |
Hull are waiting while we focus on Stacy Lewis. About to play her fifth | :28:50. | :29:03. | |
shot now. She was in good shape after two shots for a par. Now she | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
has got to hole this to make par. Yesterday we were in awe of the 11 | :29:09. | :29:32. | |
birdies but she has had, or had yesterday. How many has she had | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
today, I wonder? About two or three, I suppose. | :29:39. | :29:53. | |
Just two birdies today. See Lewis. -- for Stacy Lewis. And from a | :29:54. | :30:08. | |
British point of view Charley Hull has also let this slip quite | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
dramatically. She was only two shots behind. Six bogeys on her card. She | :30:14. | :30:21. | |
scrapped to keep it together, getting good up and downs out of the | :30:22. | :30:28. | |
sand. A few birdies as well, particularly on the front nine. Just | :30:29. | :30:32. | |
the one on the par-5 10th on the back nine. | :30:33. | :30:39. | |
ODA, steady on there. She has had quite a long wait before she could | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
play the shot, probably hasn't helped her cause. Five and a quarter | :30:46. | :30:55. | |
hours, this round, so far, still hasn't finished. Inbee Park has had | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
a long wait as well. Played a very good shot in here. This is for par. | :31:01. | :31:12. | |
She finished up in the bunker. Off the tee, and then this is her fifth. | :31:13. | :31:26. | |
Yes, she is... Why did that ball do that? It has been so long since we | :31:27. | :31:36. | |
started this hole, it seems like it was an hour ago. There has been a | :31:37. | :31:43. | |
lot happening. Inbee Park, one back to the field. It is a round of 70 | :31:44. | :31:52. | |
energy finishes 11-under par. Golf balls have a mind of their own. | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
We're not done yet because Stacy Lewis now for bogey. She was 80 | :31:57. | :32:06. | |
metres in the middle of the fairway. From the very accessible pin and | :32:07. | :32:13. | |
now, 15 minutes later, she has got a lengthy bogey putt. Any putt longer | :32:14. | :32:22. | |
than two feat is lengthy for a bogey, I suppose. 3-over par for her | :32:23. | :32:24. | |
round today. Not to be. 76 today. Stacy Lewis. After a 73... | :32:25. | :32:57. | |
63, I beg your pardon. But she is four wonderful the tournament, | :32:58. | :32:59. | |
currently seven back and you would have to think that is way too much | :33:00. | :33:09. | |
ground to make up. Two birdies today on ten and 15. She is in a tie for | :33:10. | :33:20. | |
eighth place but as we have just said, she is seven shots off the | :33:21. | :33:26. | |
lead. Charley Hull. Looking slightly better today. It has been a testing | :33:27. | :33:39. | |
time. For everyone. From a British point of view, Charley Hull has | :33:40. | :33:42. | |
probably played herself out of contention. On this back nine. So | :33:43. | :33:50. | |
this is going to be for a round of 74. This is for bogey. So that is | :33:51. | :33:59. | |
it, the end of an extraordinary eventful Thursday here with some | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
extraordinary golf. That was a few moments ago so not | :34:04. | :34:14. | |
the third round Charley Hull would have been dreaming of this morning. | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
It has taken a long time to get round today. It has been | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
particularly slow play. The leaderboard going into the final day | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
tomorrow when the medals will be decided. We will show you the holes | :34:27. | :34:34. | |
in one. We will get back to the basketball in a moment. A day | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
tomorrow when anything can happen. Just a reminder what we have coming | :34:40. | :34:49. | |
up to you, the women's gold medal match in the hockey at 9pm. Team GB | :34:50. | :34:57. | |
taking on the number one seeds in Holland. Then we will have Lutalo | :34:58. | :35:01. | |
Muhammad in his semifinal in the taekwondo. A four second post-fight | :35:02. | :35:08. | |
interview, hopefully we will have a slightly longer chat if he makes it | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
through. Lutalo Muhammad is on the way at 9:15pm. We are going back to | :35:14. | :35:18. | |
the Carioca Arena. One of these two will go through to | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
the gold medal match. Can Spain cause an upset against | :35:25. | :35:35. | |
team USA? COMMENTATOR: Jordan with the | :35:36. | :35:49. | |
rebound. Mrs the short but draws the foul. It is Gasol's third. It is | :35:50. | :35:57. | |
tough for the Spanish when they are trying to rebound. This is Anthony. | :35:58. | :36:03. | |
Good timing, the ball had just left the hand. Just barely got the bottom | :36:04. | :36:05. | |
of the ball. Jordan tries banging it in but it | :36:06. | :36:26. | |
doesn't work. You don't want Gasol fouling anybody. That is the issue. | :36:27. | :36:45. | |
That was the right call. They had the rebound anyway. | :36:46. | :36:55. | |
Irving comes up for it. Jordan is calling for it. He gives it the | :36:56. | :37:03. | |
Anthony instead who lays it in and draws the foul. The US against | :37:04. | :37:11. | |
Serbia had over 43 throws in their game. They could be going to a | :37:12. | :37:20. | |
similar amount here but it is important for them to keep knocking | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
them out. That is the issue and especially with Jordan going to the | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
foul line. Anthony missed a couple for the technical so he needs to | :37:30. | :37:33. | |
pick up in that area. He has already got the basket so this is a 3-point | :37:34. | :37:40. | |
play attack. Cousins has come back in from the US. Playing with a | :37:41. | :37:48. | |
centre throughout the game. Anthony hits and takes a 3-point play, it is | :37:49. | :37:55. | |
a ten point lead. We hit the six minute mark of the third quarter. | :37:56. | :38:03. | |
They get the tip in even though they can't get it to go. Gasol gets the | :38:04. | :38:16. | |
points. Spain really need to do well in that area to give themselves a | :38:17. | :38:17. | |
shot. The soft floater is short. That is | :38:18. | :38:33. | |
Cousins' fourth. That shot normally, he gets those comfortably. Cousins | :38:34. | :38:45. | |
just taking the swap there. The alternative, Cousins, they believed | :38:46. | :38:53. | |
he gave them better offence than they would get from Jordan. Rubio. | :38:54. | :39:03. | |
He finds the range. There is the Spanish women. It is a 5-point game, | :39:04. | :39:14. | |
5.5 to go. They have really encourage them because they come | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
back with ten points down and they have reduced the deficit so it | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
really keeps their confidence going and they believe they can do | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
something in this game. That was Irving at the rainbow. Shot over | :39:27. | :39:36. | |
Paul Gasol. Quick movement of the ball. Hernandez goes back -- | :39:37. | :39:42. | |
Fernandez. That was deflected back from Anthony. | :39:43. | :39:48. | |
Rubio pokes it away from Jordan. The Spanish get it loose, Jordan throws | :39:49. | :39:59. | |
it down to du Rand. No foul on Llull and du Rand lays it in. | :40:00. | :40:05. | |
Extraordinary stuff, a little bit messy. Gasol with the rebound, kept | :40:06. | :40:12. | |
it alive and Hernandez picks it up and lays tin. Really impressive from | :40:13. | :40:19. | |
Spain, they picked it up after that first quarter. They now have ten | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
offensive rebound is. Compared to the United States, they are on 14, | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
they are really keeping up. Jordan can get the shot but left it back up | :40:30. | :40:37. | |
for Irving and he puts it in. I think Love is coming in along with | :40:38. | :40:47. | |
Rodriguez. -- Claver is coming in. Irving spins around Llull. Great | :40:48. | :40:54. | |
defence from Llull. Irving kicks it out to Klay Thompson and he misses | :40:55. | :40:58. | |
the three and Jordan swims it through. Importantly for the United | :40:59. | :41:08. | |
States, they have fired everyone up. Maybe a momentum shift going on. | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
Jordan smashing that one down, lifted his bench up. Unfortunate | :41:14. | :41:23. | |
that Klay Thompson missed that. You saw it in the Serbia game against | :41:24. | :41:29. | |
Croatia, there was a massive dunk and it completely inspired the team. | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
I wonder if batters had the same effect on the United States. The | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
United States took the time out in that situation, normally you would | :41:41. | :41:50. | |
have expected Spain to do that. The US have extended that 6-point lead | :41:51. | :41:54. | |
at half-time. We kept saying they do tend to play more on an individual | :41:55. | :41:58. | |
basis and it has been individual plays, like that one from Jordan. | :41:59. | :42:04. | |
Absolutely and they rely on that because they are so good. You have | :42:05. | :42:08. | |
got players coming in and being able to reduce moments like that, it | :42:09. | :42:17. | |
gives you a great opportunity. The coach was getting up off the bench | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
and was trying to point things out. I think that is why he took time out | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
to address something he saw on the floor. The coach still talking to | :42:26. | :42:36. | |
Kyle Lowry. He is coming into the game with Paul George. It has taken | :42:37. | :42:44. | |
some time to figure this out. Lowry just lost Rodriguez. Durant shift | :42:45. | :42:59. | |
out on Rodriguez. Jordan blocks the shot and Jordan is certainly | :43:00. | :43:06. | |
energised. Klay Thompson on the sideline as he took a pass from | :43:07. | :43:14. | |
Lowry. Llull might be getting into trouble himself. He really fired up. | :43:15. | :43:22. | |
An 11 point lead. Four blocks for the US though. | :43:23. | :43:28. | |
Gasol shoots. Gasol doing everything he can to keep Spain in this one. A | :43:29. | :43:42. | |
great game, 21 points for Gasol, a couple of triples as well. Rudy | :43:43. | :43:52. | |
Fernandez. George lost the ball. There is a foul on George. There | :43:53. | :43:58. | |
again is that stopping of the momentum and a break from happening, | :43:59. | :44:07. | |
the intentional foul, only the second for Jordan. But earlier 34 | :44:08. | :44:14. | |
Gasol. It means Spain... They can get back set up defensively and | :44:15. | :44:16. | |
Spain can start again. Great mentality from Spain. After | :44:17. | :44:32. | |
that time out and that dunk from Jordan, they kept going, kept | :44:33. | :44:35. | |
playing and plugging away and getting those baskets. Rodriguez | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
tried to hand it back to Lowry. Rodriguez drives and a rant, get the | :44:42. | :45:00. | |
ball back. Jordan rebounds and comes up for the US. Chris Jeschke | :45:01. | :45:09. | |
disgusted during the time-out. -- Mike Krzyzewski. Brilliant shooting | :45:10. | :45:17. | |
from these individuals and their one on one ability. It's really carrying | :45:18. | :45:20. | |
the United States through at the moment. Given how well could | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
penetrate, you would think that's what they would be doing. He's got | :45:26. | :45:33. | |
Jordan on him, looking for the mismatch. It is Thompson on Gasol. | :45:34. | :45:39. | |
Gasol muscled his way in. Jordan picked it off. Watch out, Jordan | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
with the two-handed lamb! And they're going to call it. -- | :45:45. | :45:51. | |
two-handed Slam. He's done well to keep his cool and not say anything. | :45:52. | :45:56. | |
I called for a double dribble, to be honest. He dribbled was two hands. I | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
guess that's what they call it in the NBA. That's what he's used to. | :46:03. | :46:09. | |
It's just a different type of refereeing but they're not | :46:10. | :46:12. | |
accustomed to. It's cost them two points and Jordan will have a rest. | :46:13. | :46:21. | |
What they've done in this situation is bring Cousins back in. They will | :46:22. | :46:33. | |
be happy, I guess, to get as many minutes as they can from Cousins and | :46:34. | :46:38. | |
then bring Jordan in. Cousins deflected it and we have a full on | :46:39. | :46:52. | |
Klay Thompson. -- a fall. At this point and at half-time Australia was | :46:53. | :46:55. | |
actually leading in their match. They really pushed at that point. | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
Against Serbia it was about this score up until the last few minutes, | :47:01. | :47:03. | |
and then Serbia really push them until the end. They got it until | :47:04. | :47:09. | |
three. I wonder if that's how Spain have approached. Stay in touch as | :47:10. | :47:13. | |
much as you can, and then push hard at the end. He is doing what works. | :47:14. | :47:22. | |
Navarro can get back to go. Tip in and it is 64-67 in the last minute. | :47:23. | :47:28. | |
Pau Gasol gets his sixth offensive rebound, his 23rd point of the game. | :47:29. | :47:36. | |
Fall drives, stops and pops. He misses everything and there is a | :47:37. | :47:42. | |
foul on Victor Claver. -- Lowry drives. | :47:43. | :47:55. | |
What a magnificent game. DeMarcus Cousins didn't last long, he | :47:56. | :48:04. | |
followed him out. That is the risk he took. I have to confess, I didn't | :48:05. | :48:12. | |
see that one. I thought the full was out, but it didn't seem to be. It | :48:13. | :48:20. | |
seemed to be something happening off the ball. It was difficult to see. | :48:21. | :48:26. | |
Jordan has come back in the game, pulls it back with those long arms. | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
He gives it to Lowry. They can work for 1-shot. Thompson coming up. | :48:31. | :48:43. | |
Jordan setting the screen. Lowry back to Thompson. He put it up | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
and... Beautiful stuff! Jordan dropped it through the hoop just | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
before the bother. At the end of the third quarter it is at US 66-57 | :48:54. | :49:04. | |
Spain. DeMarcus Jordan has made some plays. | :49:05. | :49:06. | |
STUDIO: we will be back for the final quarter of that. | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
Potential upset on the cards for Spain and team USA. Earlier on, | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
about 15 minutes ago, we promised you some hole in one action. In the | :49:15. | :49:20. | |
men's competition we saw Justin Rose and Jaco van Zyl. Today in the third | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
round of the women's competition we had two. Here they are for you. | :49:26. | :49:34. | |
COMMENTATOR: the eighth, Lindsay you of China. This looks good. How about | :49:35. | :49:43. | |
that? We have got a hole on the eighth. | :49:44. | :49:55. | |
Lin Xi Yu of China puts a one on the card. It's only 140 yards but it was | :49:56. | :50:08. | |
fully exposed to the wind. 7-iron, I think. And oh, my goodness! Lydia Ko | :50:09. | :50:18. | |
has done it again, but less time if hole-in-one. | :50:19. | :50:25. | |
No matter how many times you see a hole-in-one it is always worth | :50:26. | :50:31. | |
seeing another one. Let's show you what else is on where. Over on the | :50:32. | :50:35. | |
Red Button you will be able to see Tom Daley. He is going in a | :50:36. | :50:41. | |
qualifying for the ten metre platform diving. That is tomorrow, | :50:42. | :50:46. | |
the semifinals. Tom Daley trying to get into that by going through | :50:47. | :50:51. | |
qualifying. Remember he won a bronze four years ago in London, trying to | :50:52. | :50:55. | |
better that. The diving has been brilliant for Team GB so far in | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
these games. On BBC One, kicked off at 9pm is Team GB taking on the | :51:01. | :51:06. | |
Netherlands, the number one ranked side in women's hockey. That is a | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
gold medal match which starts in about ten minutes time over on BBC | :51:11. | :51:18. | |
One. A reminder once again that at 9:15pm, 25 minutes away, we will | :51:19. | :51:26. | |
have the semifinal for Lutalo Muhammad in the taekwondo. He has | :51:27. | :51:31. | |
looked supremely confident so far. One more bout and he then gets into | :51:32. | :51:36. | |
the gold-medal match. Maybe he can add that to the bronze he won four | :51:37. | :51:42. | |
years ago in London. That will be live at 915 for you. Let's get back | :51:43. | :51:45. | |
to the basketball. It's relatively tight. Team USA in a comfortable | :51:46. | :51:47. | |
position. COMMENTATOR: unbelievable stuff. In | :51:48. | :52:02. | |
a great position, and missed it. Rudy Fernandez made of the three and | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
stepped out of bounds as he started his move. I'm not sure the players | :52:08. | :52:10. | |
can see that line very well because a lot of them have been done. Bring | :52:11. | :52:18. | |
out. It's so close. But let missing an easy one. Klay Thompson block to | :52:19. | :52:23. | |
be shot, amazing stuff. I keep looking at the distance between the | :52:24. | :52:26. | |
three point Circle and the line. That went through yet another point. | :52:27. | :52:36. | |
The court seems narrower than it should be. I think it's an optical | :52:37. | :52:42. | |
illusion. 68-57 as Rudy Fernandez goes to the bench. Hernangomez comes | :52:43. | :52:52. | |
back in. It is Hernangomez and Nikola Mirotic. Another block for | :52:53. | :52:58. | |
Jordan. George Corral is that one in the corner and Lowry brings it up | :52:59. | :53:04. | |
for the US. Nearly loses the ball. Still has his dribble. On top of him | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
like a wrestler at the start of the match. That was tipped away by | :53:10. | :53:16. | |
Navarro. They keep it in play with Butler, just four on the shot block. | :53:17. | :53:21. | |
Releases that, it hits the rims though it is a good rebound. George | :53:22. | :53:28. | |
lays it in for the basket. 70-57. Mike Krzyzewski was off his seat and | :53:29. | :53:33. | |
on the court. He is really annoyed about something and I think they | :53:34. | :53:39. | |
will type the -- will take the time out, the United States. Spain have | :53:40. | :53:47. | |
worked though, so hard. They tipped the ball away a couple of times. | :53:48. | :53:50. | |
Then you don't have the offensive rebound, that is what happens. The | :53:51. | :53:52. | |
US ends up having the points. There is you look at the leading | :53:53. | :54:20. | |
scores. Gasol leaves them all with 23. It was Spain who ended up | :54:21. | :54:30. | |
calling the time out. I cannot read Mike Krzyzewski whatsoever. It | :54:31. | :54:33. | |
looked like he was really annoyed about something, but he was really | :54:34. | :54:40. | |
happy! That's how he displays it. Sometimes you don't get perfect | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
play, but you get hard work. That is perfect play. Lowry has such a soft | :54:45. | :54:52. | |
touch of the blast. I don't know whose foot that is so it makes it | :54:53. | :54:55. | |
harder to interpret what that message means. We don't even know if | :54:56. | :55:02. | |
it is a player's foot. It might be an important message, regardless. | :55:03. | :55:07. | |
Just under eight minutes to play in the game. 70-57 for the US by their | :55:08. | :55:14. | |
team. Navarro missed yet another rebound from Jordan. Gives it to | :55:15. | :55:21. | |
Lowry and Lowry brings it up. Rubio with that hand in there. Lowry moves | :55:22. | :55:29. | |
past him. Off the glass, carbon copy. You talk about Spain needing a | :55:30. | :55:35. | |
strong fourth quarter. It's not happening for them at the moment. | :55:36. | :55:39. | |
They haven't even scored yet. The US is getting the rebound and the | :55:40. | :55:43. | |
basket. And what can you do? Jordan is a monster right now and Lowry is | :55:44. | :55:51. | |
simply taking the ball and laying it in. Navarro doing the same thing. He | :55:52. | :55:59. | |
puts it in. 72-59. Maybe that is what you do? All alone for three. | :56:00. | :56:07. | |
George Mrs. Nikola Mirotic with the rebound. He drives, it's not away | :56:08. | :56:16. | |
from him by Butler. Klay Thompson brings it up. Good pass to George, | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
George loses the ball. If you're going to call Jordan for travelling, | :56:22. | :56:25. | |
you might as well called George for carrying the ball in that instance | :56:26. | :56:28. | |
because that's exactly what happened. It was a bit more blatant. | :56:29. | :56:34. | |
It seems like the US have picked up the pace a little, particularly in | :56:35. | :56:38. | |
the last few minutes. They probably thought Spain would come out. This | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
is the only basket Spain have scored in the fourth quarter. They needed a | :56:43. | :56:48. | |
big one because they're down by 13 points here. Is being really | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
dynamic. He's got such great control. Spain looked a little | :56:53. | :57:02. | |
tired. There is Thompson, he misses it. But the one guy who is not hired | :57:03. | :57:07. | |
for Spain is Navarro! Navarro is going 100 miles an hour. Or 160 | :57:08. | :57:14. | |
kilometres an hour. Jordan's having a big game as well for the US. | :57:15. | :57:19. | |
Jordan just bike that one. You saw him pull his jersey. Jersey pools | :57:20. | :57:23. | |
are often the most obvious foul in the world. Navarro, the old boys are | :57:24. | :57:30. | |
carrying Spain. They are, they are relying on Gasol. | :57:31. | :57:47. | |
Thompson for three, hits. That is the backbreaker, just as you find | :57:48. | :57:52. | |
the way back into the game. That's what Klay Thompson gives you as | :57:53. | :57:56. | |
well. It's the first time we've seen that there the Olympic Games where | :57:57. | :57:59. | |
he is just so comfortable in the corner. Nikola Mirotic, his first | :58:00. | :58:08. | |
three of the game. He is a natural for that. 75-65, it is ten | :58:09. | :58:13. | |
approaching the halfway point of the fourth quarter. When one team starts | :58:14. | :58:19. | |
putting them away, the other gets inspired. Thompson working | :58:20. | :58:25. | |
one-on-one. Nobody is moving for the Americans, they will just watching | :58:26. | :58:33. | |
shoot. Gasol tips it to Mitroic. There is Gasol for the open three. | :58:34. | :58:44. | |
Mitroic on the rebound. Mitroic has done more to last five minutes and | :58:45. | :58:45. | |
ten seconds. There seems to be a bit of contact, | :58:46. | :58:59. | |
I'm not sure what it was. Lowry drew the foul. If it's a foul on Mitroic? | :59:00. | :59:12. | |
No, it's not. It is Larry's foul. -- it is Lowry's foul. | :59:13. | :59:19. | |
Jordan, can you imagine what a volleyball player he would be? When | :59:20. | :59:25. | |
he spiked but onto the glass. Strong, faster tempo. Try to cut off | :59:26. | :59:55. | |
the drives. This is Navarro. Klay Thompson, Thompson assured the | :59:56. | :59:59. | |
Navarro. The Jordan gets a piece of it and then Thompson comes down the | :00:00. | :00:04. | |
other end. Kevin Durant hasn't really been at his best in this | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
game, which is surprising. He still put up a number of points but they | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
have relied on Klay Thompson in this one who has come to the full for the | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
United States just when they needed someone to hit those threes. Iran | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
has three points, very quiet. Jordan has nine. | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
Rodriguez now for Spain. Gasol on Jordan. Jordan is that much quicker | :00:34. | :00:47. | |
than Cousins as a defender, it is harder for Gasol to try to get | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
around him. Almost as if they benefited from Jordan coming back on | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
to play a bit more because he has been brilliant for them. That time, | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
Irving hit it. 13 points, it doesn't even feel like he has done that much | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
in this game. Four minutes to play. This is it, four minutes to go and | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
they need to start getting on a run and stopping the United States as | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
well. Jordan sets the screen, Irving the three out again. | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
Mirotic for three and that is off. This is costing Spain another 15 | :01:35. | :01:46. | |
seconds each. Let's see if they move through or they just go out to the | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
outside. Klay Thompson comes through the middle. Mirotic involved in a | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
little wrestling match. The shot is short. Going to be a US ball. | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
You work so hard to bring the shot blocked down, it is a difficult | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
attempt and then your opponent gets the ball back for a reset shot | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
clock. That was blocked by Gasol. There is the pastor Mirotic | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
anti-stuffs it through. Spain leading the US back down the court. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
A 9-point game with three minutes to go. It felt like a deflating moment | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
and Spain picked themselves up. Spain playing a zone right now, | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
double team and the pass goes out of bounds off Rodriguez. This was a | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
good technique for a couple of teams. If you play zone and invite | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
the US to sit out side the zone and shoot, and if they are not | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
shooting,... Mirotic. Klay Thompson becomes very important. Irving | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
misses and her Mackems Spain. Rodriguez for three. -- her Mackems | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
Spain -- here calms Spain. The fouling has dropped dramatically | :03:18. | :03:32. | |
in the second half. I'm not even the hint of a technical foul. The | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
referee has got the job done in the second quarter, sent out the message | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
and the players finally got it. Six technical fouls in the quarter. Only | :03:45. | :03:54. | |
DeMarcus Cousins... The time had taken again by Spain and the coach | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
Sergio Scariolo. He is looking for threes. You can | :03:57. | :04:14. | |
see, the high, low post. It was a low-risk move taking the | :04:15. | :04:41. | |
time out. Spain now will have to look for the 3-point shots. Mirotic | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
had this one. If they can get that right, they are really putting | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
themselves in with a shot. Anthony is called for the offensive | :04:51. | :05:23. | |
foul on Llull. Llull was hanging on him like a cheap suit. Second-team | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
foul for the United States. That is a big turnover, watch here. That is | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
where the foul was called, you calmly. They saw something there. | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
It is an offensive foul. Not overcharging, for holding off with | :05:47. | :05:59. | |
the left hand. He went up with the shot and he was pushing with the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
left hand and the referee has called it as Jordan went to the ground. A | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
huge moment in this game. He got him in the face, that is why. What's the | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
left hand. Right there, in your face. No contact from Jordan | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
whatsoever. If you didn't get him in the face in international | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
basketball, 99%, it would be a foul on the defender. Even though you | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
have extended the arm. He got Jordan right in the face. This is huge for | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
the US. Spain showing pressure, George comes in and the lay-off | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
misses. He gets it back and has the presence of mind to start a new | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
possession. George cannot get the bucket to go but it is tipped by | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Anthony back to George. This is killing them. This is killing Spain | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
right now. They can ill afford a few attempts at the basket from the US. | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Durant with the floater. That combination of the offence foul | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
under three shot possession has been disastrous for Spain. If the basket | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
is good, he gets the full shot. Another offensive foul call. There | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
you see it, another great call, Llull grabbed the arm. You don't see | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
that very often. I'm not sure I'd seen that in any of the big games. | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
It is going against Spain right now but they have been at fault. I can't | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
say I feel sorry for them but I feel for them in the sense that in | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
international basketball, 90 time -- 99 times out of a hundred, they will | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
not call that on the offensive player. USA will feel really | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
comfortable they can win it from her. -- here. George with the dunk. | :08:10. | :08:25. | |
14 seconds off the shot clock. Paul Gasol knows I think that there is | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
nothing much from now they can do. They are doing what they can. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Exactly, they don't give up. This is too good a basketball team to quit. | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
Looking for the foul. Spain can't take any time outs. It | :08:39. | :08:53. | |
is knocked away from du Rand by Claver. Mirotic. You know that rule | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
about the cylinder and you go up in the air, you are allowed to come | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
back down where you went up from, watch Mirotic. No one is coming | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
down. He came forward anyway but Mirotic comes forward, just to make | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
sure. He is going to shoot three. They don't quit. It looks like there | :09:16. | :09:44. | |
will be under 100 points. The only time that has happened was against | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
Serbia and Australia when they pushed into the distance and Spain | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
are going to push them again. That couldn't have been better if he | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
planned it but he missed the rebound. You heard them yelling, | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
hold it, from the sideline. Thompson gets trapped and comes out of it, | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
across the Lowry. Durant looks at the shot clock. The floater is | :10:10. | :10:19. | |
thrown up and Claver loc cit, he has made a couple of big plays in the | :10:20. | :10:32. | |
last minute. -- Claver blocks it. Remarkable, considering that play | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
went against Spain, with Llull being hit for the offensive foul... Rubio | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
is coming back on. The last time these games played an Olympic play, | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
the last four plays. Rodriguez with the block and they | :10:46. | :11:00. | |
knocked it out from the inside and that will count. | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
You just said it and it is absolutely true, Spain ended that | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
pattern of play and made it very difficult for the United States. The | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
US don't have that kind of team that chips away. They have to be hitting | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
from outside. Spain has given them all they could handle. | :11:24. | :11:34. | |
A pretty comfortable victory for team USA as expected. We will find | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
out who they will play in the final a little later. Australia take on | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Serbia in the other final and we will show you some of that later. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Despite the fact it is 26 degrees, it is incredibly windy. Have a look | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
at this, the wind and waves are up. There are some people out there | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
swimming. What an absolute wipe-out that was. I hope she actually OK. Is | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
she there? She's still there, don't panic! That is where there is a flag | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
out there saying, no swimming. You can see how powerful those waves | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
are. I think surfing is in the Olympic roster in Tokyo Twenty20s so | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
maybe a bit of rehearsing going on out here. We have Lutalo Muhammad on | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
the way in a few moments time, in the semifinal of his taekwondo bout. | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
If he needs any inspiration, he need look no further than last night and | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
a young lady by the name of Jade Jones. | :12:38. | :12:49. | |
Defending her Olympic title, Jade Jones of Great Britain. This is the | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
battle for gold or silver. Gomez, Spanish fighter. She sneaks in, | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
takes the head shot and plans another. -- plants another. | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
An absolute picture perfect shot. Gomez reeling and rocking. This, a | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
real battle. Time for Gomez to try to do something. Jones takes | :13:24. | :13:37. | |
another, Gomez on the back foot. The Welsh wonder strikes gold again. To | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
the delight of the British fans and the Brazilian crowd. Wonderful | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
performance, absolute perfection. Jade Jones becomes the two times | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
Olympic champion. What a brilliant job Jade Jones did | :13:53. | :14:04. | |
last night, double Olympic champion she is now. Lutalo Muhammad just | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
about to come out to take on Milan Harchegani of Azerbaijan in the | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
semifinal. Big opportunity for him to add to the bronze medal he won | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
four years ago. He is supremely confident and he feels it is his | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
destiny to win the big medal. Their areas. If he wins this, he goes into | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
the gold medal match which you will be able to see later. This is the | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
semifinal and the talk this through it, Neil Adams and John Callum. | :14:40. | :15:11. | |
COMMENTATOR: three times two-minute rounds, Olympic tae kwon do. The | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
semifinal. Lutalo Muhammad against Beigi Harchegani. Beigi Harchegani | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
is in red. Electronic headgear and body armour with sensors on the | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
socks. You will find the space straightaway? Harchegani in red, the | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
slightly taller of the two. Muhammed stands at six foot three. His | :15:37. | :15:46. | |
opponent, 66. Keeping his head back. This one, a big battle for distance. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
You can see that they are both aiming for the head as well. The big | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
kicks. But will it be the big points on the board? Muhammed's | :15:57. | :16:09. | |
concentration, absolute laser-like focus. Harchegani does well to cover | :16:10. | :16:20. | |
with two chop kicks. Just finding the range, like you said. How | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
quickly can you get in and out of danger? Keep yourself out of danger | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
at the moment. The Taylor Mohammed keeping his head back. -- Lutalo | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
Muhammad. A good response from Harchegani. Tense times here in the | :16:41. | :16:50. | |
semifinal. I don't know how many times you said it's about leading | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
them in, and that body positioning is important but also the fake. That | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
is what they're doing all the time, just a small fake, lead them in and | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
lead them into the danger. Leading them into dangerous territory with | :17:06. | :17:06. | |
the referee. A cagey tactical stalemate, resolute | :17:07. | :17:23. | |
concentration on the face of Muhammed. A good front leg attempt | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
from the Taylor Muhammed. Just flicks it over the shoulder of | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
Harchegani. -- from Lutalo Muhammad. An engaging opening round. Nothing | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
happening on the scoreboard, but that fact-finding flurry between the | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
two, they will know how to approach each other. I think so, and they | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
will just come out in that second round. They know about the tactical | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
side and they know what we want to do. That is what the coaches will be | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
telling them as well. Just make the readjustment because that's all it | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
takes as well. They're just missing and that readjustment will make all | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
the difference between points and no points. Of course, points make | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
prizes and the big prize at stake here, the Olympic final. It is just | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
about on the horizon for both fine fighters. Lutalo Muhammad just | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
missing with those head shots. Harchegani very much alive in this | :18:27. | :18:38. | |
contest. Steve Jennings have had successes, too. Olympic bronze for | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
Muhammed in London. Can he go one further here? He's got a massive | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
mountain of an opponent here, Beigi Harchegani standing at six feet six. | :18:49. | :19:00. | |
Both men just leaning back. This one yet to take the contest. Here is the | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
first point on the board for Muhammed, the little push kick | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
underneath the guard and that will be very helpful. A good start. How | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
often have we seen that simple kick? Just straightforward and right on | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
target. They're doing really well to stay in the ring, Lutalo Muhammad. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
Reeling and rocking, but staying in the Carioca Arena. One point to be | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
good. Good defence there from Lutalo | :19:34. | :19:50. | |
Muhammad. Beigi Harchegani has lots to look at here. This tempo suits | :19:51. | :19:59. | |
the British fighter. Doing really well to keep this tempo. Harchegani | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
coming forward a little bit more now. The referee is having a close | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
look. Lutalo Muhammad just gets his focus | :20:06. | :20:23. | |
back. He's just waiting, and just waiting a little bit too long. The | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
referee has said he wants more action. There is Harchegani scoring | :20:27. | :20:36. | |
with a wonderful headshot. Patients pause off -- Patience pays off. | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Beigi Harchegani finding himself with a 3-point lead there. Perfect | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
timing. Just hanging off and waiting for the Azeri to come in. Responding | :20:49. | :20:59. | |
with a back kick. Muhammed's timing, really well. But it is Harchegani | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
that licks one round of the back. There looked to be some holding | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
there. That headshot has been invalidated. If you hold and keep to | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
the face, it doesn't count. No video replay needed. That has given Lutalo | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
Muhammad a very handy 4-point lead. It has. That was a bit fortunate, I | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
have to say. But rules are rules. You're not allowed to hold. It could | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
have been all evens, but it's not. It's a healthy lead going into the | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
final round. Olympic tae kwon do, the art of | :21:34. | :21:46. | |
kicking and punching. There was the big head kick, and it. Lutalo | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
Muhammad, very concentrated. Harchegani up against it. That looks | :21:54. | :22:03. | |
like Steve Jennings, the British coach, liked that one. I think he | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
did and from a tactical point of view I think Harchegani is going to | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
have to come out all guns blazing. Muhammed has got to really | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
concentrate. This is the semifinal in the men's under kilograms | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
grouping. Lutalo Muhammad of Great Britain against Beigi Harchegani of | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
Azerbaijan. The Azeri is the taller of the two but the big gap is in | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
favour of the bridge, four points ahead. Tense times here, and Olympic | :22:36. | :22:45. | |
final ahead. Do your attacks, do your defend. He closed it down, he | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
didn't want to be there for the reverse kick. 5-2 now. A little | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
pushed kick now from Harchegani. The space opened, he capitalised. A | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
little hook kick to the body there. You can just about hear Steve | :23:03. | :23:20. | |
Jennings is advising to go higher with that kick. Almost closing the | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
gap with Harchegani, the response from Muhammed. This one going | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
backwards. It is a foul. You out. Lutalo Muhammad having a | :23:33. | :23:41. | |
conversation with Steve Jennings. -- it is a foul. You out. Harchegani | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
going for the big points. Not just defending, Harchegani. He is two | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
points down but there is a foul against Muhammed. He keeps trying to | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
close the gap, Muhammed. I think he's got to be careful because we've | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
seen it so often in this last-minute. Harchegani is going to | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
come forward. He's looking for the big points. Big points, but not much | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
time left with which to do it. Lutalo Muhammad using the pushed | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
kick, trying to maintain his lead. He goes with a headshot of his own. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
This affair will suit the British fighter. At the moment, breathing | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
hard. Huge pressure, uncharted territory. Olympic bronze in London. | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
Can he go one further here? Again, closing it up. 5- for now. He's | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
close the gap. One more point to even it all up. -- 5-4-macro now. | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
The defensive tactics of Lutalo Muhammad, will they pay off? | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
Harchegani of Azerbaijan is one point off. The Olympic final awaits. | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
Muhammed manages to seal the deal. A perfect shot. A response from | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
Harchegani, and it is all kicking off. Ten seconds to go. 11-7, Lutalo | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
Muhammad of Great Britain on the cusp of an Olympic final. The clock | :25:15. | :25:23. | |
is ticking down. Beigi Harchegani on the move. Lutalo Muhammad in the | :25:24. | :25:33. | |
final! Tremendous scenes here, picture perfect performance. Lutalo | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
Muhammad of Great Britain, tactically perfect. Timing was spot | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
on. Patients is most certainly a virtue. The man from Walthamstow, he | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
is shouting "Olympic final" and that is where he is going. That is | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
amazing, what a tactical match from Muhammed. He played it perfectly and | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
that was terrific stuff. He's through to the final. He's got one | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
further than the last Olympic Games, that was brilliant. A big chance now | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
for Lutalo Muhammad. He loves the crowd. They love him back. Steve | :26:16. | :26:25. | |
Jennings as well. Tactically perfect. Confirmation, in the | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
semifinal. Great Britain's Lutalo Muhammad is on his way to the | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
Olympic Games finals. Harchegani of Azerbaijan came in as | :26:33. | :26:55. | |
one of the favourites for the medal. But Lutalo Muhammad, his flicks, | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
ability and timing. That's tae skill has put him into his first ever | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
Olympic Games final. STUDIO: brilliant stuff from Lutalo | :27:05. | :27:18. | |
Muhammad. There is the coaching team as well. That is an indication of | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
what it feels like to make an Olympic final. A bronze in London | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
four years ago. He came here fully believing that he was good enough to | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
win a better medal and now he will go for the gold. Just in case you're | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
wondering what time you will be able to see that, that will be at 2:15am | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
in the UK. If you want to see if Lutalo Muhammad can add to the gold | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
of Jade Jones of yesterday, you will have two stay up a little bit later. | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
There will be more taekwondo to follow. Tomorrow we have Bianca | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
Walkden, Jade Jones's housemate. She is going in the heavyweights for the | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
women's. Lutalo Muhammad, 2:15am UK time. We will find out who he will | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
fight a little later on. The second semifinal is about half an hour | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
away. He has been fantastic. He has ridden it home. | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
A tactical masterclass. Thank you, we had a terrific game plan, me and | :28:23. | :28:32. | |
my coach. And we executed it. I'm so grateful that I have this platform, | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
this opportunity. I'm in the Olympic final and I've got one more step | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
before I accomplish my goal of becoming an Olympic champion. You | :28:41. | :28:46. | |
have beaten Olympic champions and European champions and looks so | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
powerful. I feel really good. We work hard in Manchester at the | :28:51. | :28:58. | |
Academy. GB tae kwon preparation. On many occasions I wanted to stop, it | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
was that hard. It's lovely to be rewarded for the fruits of our | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
labour. It was a team effort. You've gone further than you did at London | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
2012. Exactly. We are in the final now. It's guaranteed over, but who | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
once silver? Very best of luck. STUDIO: I promised you a slightly | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
longer interview. What a character he is. At 2:15am you will be able to | :29:27. | :29:35. | |
see his final. Lutalo Muhammad guaranteed a silver, could be a gold | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
to add to the bronze he went four years ago and the bronze that Jade | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
-- and the gold Jade Jones when yesterday. It looks like Team GB | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
could have a really good finish to these games. Earlier we saw Nick | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
Skelton win gold in the individual show-jumping as well. His story is | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
an incredible one. In 2000 he retired from the sport with a broken | :29:58. | :30:01. | |
neck and said he didn't want to do any more, he felt physically unable | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
to do so. More injury problems in 2011, he had a hip replacement. In | :30:07. | :30:14. | |
2016 he has won Olympic gold at his seventh Games. That is frankly | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
ridiculous. You heard Lutalo Muhammad talk about the fact that he | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
has considered his future in the sport because of injury on many | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
occasions. We have said this a few times, but if you're out there | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
watching this on BBC for all you are watching BBC One or won the Red | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
Button, where ever you are watching things, if there is a sport but you | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
seem and would like to give it a go or get your children to have a go, | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
if you go to the get inspired section of the BBC website you will | :30:43. | :30:48. | |
be able to see exactly where your nearest copies and get information | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
about how you can get involved in a sport that has picked up an interest | :30:54. | :30:57. | |
in you over the course of the last two weeks. | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
Fellow, look at that, piggyback riding on the beach could be an | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
Olympic sport! Very inventive, gentlemen. We're really from? From | :31:10. | :31:19. | |
Exeter? Enjoy yourselves, all the way from Exeter. This won't help | :31:20. | :31:26. | |
people who think we are not in Copacabana when they are from | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
Exeter! Someone who has been enjoying everything happening on the | :31:31. | :31:32. | |
beach throughout these games because of various occasions, he has got | :31:33. | :31:41. | |
involved in our Copacabanter, a man by the name of Matthew Pinsent and | :31:42. | :31:47. | |
he does enjoy the Olympics. He has won four gold medals. You are down | :31:48. | :31:52. | |
at the Pentax Lond. We have Samantha Murray's Malm on there the other day | :31:53. | :31:59. | |
and she was saying how her daughter got into this sport. Run through | :32:00. | :32:05. | |
what has happened today. Modern pentathlon, five sports involved in | :32:06. | :32:11. | |
this. They had fencing, a preliminary round yesterday, then a | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
swim, then a fencing bonus round, then we have had some equestrian | :32:16. | :32:23. | |
jumping and the combined which is a 3.2 kilometre run followed by laser | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
shooting. It is all going to happen outside here. It is all coming | :32:29. | :32:36. | |
together for modern pentathlon. What sort of deficit to the Brits have to | :32:37. | :32:42. | |
make up? Sam Murray is a minute and eight seconds behind and what | :32:43. | :32:45. | |
happens in the combined event is that the leaders will go off first | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
and every subsequent runner goes off in the gap in the points deficit | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
that they have so a minute and eight, Sam Murray will go behind the | :32:56. | :33:01. | |
leader. Kate French, our second Great Britain competitor will be 53 | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
seconds behind the leader. Thank you very much for that. Matthew, sorry? | :33:09. | :33:18. | |
I was just going to say the link from Bognor is working really well. | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
Crystal clear. Listen, you are causing all sorts of issues. It was | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
your fault earlier when people thought we weren't in Copacabana. | :33:29. | :33:35. | |
This is not Bognor Regis! The blue screen is working fantastically! | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
Just because you have been knighted, I am not allowed to insult you! If I | :33:40. | :33:45. | |
could rob him of his knighthood, I think I would! We are definitely in | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
Rio! If you would like to get involved on any of our other | :33:51. | :34:07. | |
hashtags, Copcab-binmen, Copacab0Anthony Worral Thompson. | :34:08. | :34:12. | |
There were a few mentioned yesterday that we can't go for. . The ones | :34:13. | :34:21. | |
that are being suggested in my ear at the moment, I shall not be | :34:22. | :34:24. | |
repeating on television! Do keep those tweets and texts coming in | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
because lots of them do make is last. -- laugh. | :34:29. | :34:35. | |
The gold medal match on BBC One in the hockey. We may just have ruined | :34:36. | :34:42. | |
it for you. You can switch over because Team GB were leading but the | :34:43. | :34:46. | |
Netherlands came back and levelled it up about five minutes ago and now | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
they are to either one up. They are the top ranked team in the world at | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
the moment so if you switch over to BBC One now, you can watch the | :34:56. | :35:00. | |
remainder of that. On BBC Four, another great gold medal match and | :35:01. | :35:05. | |
this is Sweden taking on Germany in the women's gold medal match. It | :35:06. | :35:09. | |
just started a few moments ago in the Maracana. It is a fantastic | :35:10. | :35:19. | |
stadium, it was a stadium for the World Cup. Tonight, Sweden take on | :35:20. | :35:26. | |
Germany. Sweden saw off USA, the hosts, Brazil, penalty shoot outs. | :35:27. | :35:34. | |
Brazil are in the men's finals. We will join Sue Smith and first up, | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
Nigel Adley. COMMENTATOR: Sweden have made a | :35:38. | :35:49. | |
positive start to this game. Germany don't deal with the corner. Here is | :35:50. | :36:02. | |
a slightly once again. Our Canadian referee allows play to go on. We | :36:03. | :36:10. | |
were surprised to see Sweden start this game on the front foot. Yes, | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
and they started pressurising when Germany got the ball. But as soon as | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
Germany get the ball, they drop back into that formation, that 451, | :36:20. | :36:26. | |
making it difficult for Germany to break them down. They had a couple | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
of corners and were quite unlucky. Behringer has won Germany's first | :36:31. | :36:47. | |
corner. Both these nations looking for their first Olympic gold medal | :36:48. | :36:55. | |
in the women's football. Germany have won everything apart from this. | :36:56. | :37:03. | |
Behringer's corner high into the penalty area. Bartusiak rises but is | :37:04. | :37:17. | |
off-balance and as a result, off target. Lyndal of Chelsea. She saved | :37:18. | :37:25. | |
two penalties in the shoot out against Brazil. I read a few | :37:26. | :37:33. | |
interviews with Lindahl and she said how she loves penalties. Goalkeepers | :37:34. | :37:41. | |
are either the hero or... They are never the villain, they are always | :37:42. | :37:44. | |
the hero, expected to save the penalties. Samuel sun and good pace | :37:45. | :37:51. | |
from the full-back. Everyone assumed Sweden were going | :37:52. | :38:03. | |
to be ultra-defensive but at that moment, they are attacking. When | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
they get the ball, they do attack in numbers but when they don't have the | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
ball, they retreat into that formation. I think the German two | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
centre halves, are not that quick so if you have pace in behind, that is | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
wherewith they will get at Germany. A very busy arena. The Cornick is | :38:21. | :38:33. | |
deep. Flicked away by Mittag. Samuelson. Fischer is waiting. | :38:34. | :38:44. | |
That is a strong header from Crahn and it needed to be. | :38:45. | :39:04. | |
She pulls it back and a really good chance. A massive opportunity for | :39:05. | :39:15. | |
Sweden. They have to score. What a run. Just into the channels, it is | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
what she does so well. Plays on the back shoulder and she finds the | :39:21. | :39:33. | |
past, she has to do better there. You don't get many chances against | :39:34. | :39:39. | |
Germany and you have to take them. Germany have won the last nine | :39:40. | :39:42. | |
competitive meetings between these two. | :39:43. | :39:52. | |
The flag is up this time. Jacobsen. Two of the greatest managers in | :39:53. | :40:04. | |
women's football history and Jacobsen might have had a point | :40:05. | :40:06. | |
there with a look towards the assistant. | :40:07. | :40:21. | |
Sylvia Neid in her final match in charge of Germany before being moved | :40:22. | :40:29. | |
upstairs or moving upstairs. She has won everything as a coach except a | :40:30. | :40:33. | |
gold medal. The two coaches are friends but also rivals. Bartusiak. | :40:34. | :40:55. | |
Sweden dropping very deep. Krahn trying to compress the space on the | :40:56. | :41:10. | |
edge of the area. Bartusiak. That is a good ball. Leopold 's and the | :41:11. | :41:19. | |
goalkeeper, Lindahl, having praised her, she made a hash of that and she | :41:20. | :41:25. | |
got away with it. She was in two minds, whether the calm or stay but | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
thankfully for her, nothing came of it. This is what Germany do so well, | :41:31. | :41:39. | |
this touch. Germany will move the ball quickly. They will create | :41:40. | :41:46. | |
openings. She took our eye off the ball there. She was very fortunate | :41:47. | :41:55. | |
no one was coming in behind. Another really good crowd inside the | :41:56. | :42:01. | |
Maracana. Mittag I think had been fouled and as a result wasn't in the | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
position to pick up that ball. Quickly played forward. Jacobsen is | :42:06. | :42:16. | |
flagged offside once again. You can see what she's trying to do the | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
time. She was offside that time. Could have been in line. Germany | :42:22. | :42:29. | |
need to be aware of that. Germany started this competition | :42:30. | :42:52. | |
very slowly. They had to come from two goals down to draw against | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
Australia and then they were beaten by Canada. But they often improve, | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
the longer tournaments go on and that has been the case. Solid | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
victories over both China and then Canada in the semifinals. Looking at | :43:06. | :43:16. | |
Sweden's record, in terms of goals scored and heavy entertainment, it | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
has been very poor. South Africa, the only side they have beaten in | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
open play and that was 1-0 in their first game. They were then hammered | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
by Brazil but that was the turning point in many ways because Pia | :43:29. | :43:41. | |
Sundhage made a decision and tighten things up and as a result, they are | :43:42. | :43:45. | |
in the final. That is the reason they are in the final because they | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
change their tactics. They can't go and attacked like they used to and | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
she looked at what they were good at and that is defensive. Not the great | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
game to watch but if you reach the medals, then anyone can do that. | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
That is the point she was making time after time in the press | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
conference yesterday. She said her only responsibility is to win which | :44:11. | :44:13. | |
might not be what the purists want to hear. In a few years' time, | :44:14. | :44:19. | |
nobody would say, how did Sweden win a medal? It would just be that they | :44:20. | :44:24. | |
won a medal. You have to played your strengths and that is she's doing. | :44:25. | :44:41. | |
70,000 inside the stadium for Brazil's semifinal. Maybe not quite | :44:42. | :44:49. | |
as many as that her the night but still a very good crowd. 40,000 saw | :44:50. | :44:56. | |
the third-place play-off for the bronze medal in Sao Paulo earlier | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
today, when Canada beat Brazil 2-0. From that point of view, it has been | :45:02. | :45:04. | |
a very good tournament for women's football. The whistle has gone. Good | :45:05. | :45:15. | |
play from Germany, that is how they can exploit Sweden, they have to | :45:16. | :45:16. | |
find as little spaces in between. Then it is the first and second | :45:17. | :45:27. | |
ball. It was marginal offside she was given four. Plenty of German | :45:28. | :45:33. | |
support inside the stadium. Of course, the men won the World Cup | :45:34. | :45:40. | |
here, two years ago. And their Olympic team will be here tomorrow | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
night to face Brazil in what should be a terrific occasion. | :45:45. | :45:59. | |
Silvia Neid has not seen her team quite settle down yet. Pia Sundhage | :46:00. | :46:10. | |
rarely leaves the bench during the game. Rubensson. | :46:11. | :46:20. | |
Cut out initially by Keller but here is Jakobsson. The Germans are so | :46:21. | :46:28. | |
good at recovering the ball and preventing the initial error | :46:29. | :46:30. | |
becoming worse. Boehringer. Kemme. Bartusiak and Annike Krahn are both | :46:31. | :46:51. | |
players who have won the European Championships and the World Cup. | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
They need Olympic gold just to complete the set. Bartusiak again. | :46:57. | :47:04. | |
Leupolz. It is Lotta Schelin, who did so much running in the | :47:05. | :47:07. | |
semifinal, back there defending once again. Now Seger. Jakobsson. She | :47:08. | :47:14. | |
just needs to hold her run. She has got the pace. She's probably saying | :47:15. | :47:22. | |
she wants it a bit sooner, but she has got the pace on the two centre | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
halves and she can curve the run and stay onside. She now plays with | :47:27. | :47:32. | |
Montpellier in France after a spell at Chelsea. Annike Krahn. | :47:33. | :47:44. | |
Every single Swedish player is back inside their own half once again. | :47:45. | :47:54. | |
Mittag! Welcomer Lindell's handling was not faultless once again but she | :47:55. | :48:01. | |
got the job done. -- well, Hedvig Lindahl's. If I was a German, I | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
would be thinking I had to follow everything up just in case she | :48:06. | :48:09. | |
fumbles again. Again, they are limiting Germany two shots outside | :48:10. | :48:17. | |
the box. Quite happy with that. -- to shots. Sweden have only managed | :48:18. | :48:25. | |
three goals in the tournament so far. They were also the lowest | :48:26. | :48:33. | |
scorers in the qualifying tournament to reach the Olympics, once it | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
became clear that Great Britain would not be entering a team. | :48:37. | :48:48. | |
Asllani. Dahlkvist. Schelin curves her run and the goalkeeper has to | :48:49. | :48:56. | |
improvise. Brilliant from Schult. I think she realised where she was on | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
the pitch and great defending. Great header, any defender would be proud | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
of that. It is the kind of thing we see Manuel Neuer do for the German | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
men's team. He has been watching, I think. Well, Schult had to be very | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
patient for her opportunity, spent many years watching Ankara in the | :49:16. | :49:25. | |
German goal. -- Anja Rau. There is a sense of evolution about this team | :49:26. | :49:28. | |
following the World Cup when of course, they lost to England in the | :49:29. | :49:29. | |
third-place game. Beringer. She may get in behind Samuelsson, | :49:30. | :49:39. | |
who recovered well. Tabea Kemme will take the throne. | :49:40. | :50:02. | |
And already, it has the look of a very tight game. Kemme, that is a | :50:03. | :50:10. | |
good ball! That was a really good chance, Leupolz knows she should | :50:11. | :50:16. | |
have done better. She should have done better, fantastic ball, whipped | :50:17. | :50:19. | |
in with pace. I think she just mistimed her run. You can see she | :50:20. | :50:24. | |
was hanging in the air for a while. Heading it on the way down. Could | :50:25. | :50:28. | |
not get over the ball to direct it. Well, already, we have seen | :50:29. | :50:43. | |
clear-cut chances for both teams. Leupolz, who plays for the reigning | :50:44. | :50:53. | |
German champions, Bayern Munich. She will be disappointed, there. Given | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
away by Seger. Mittag, whose has scored so many important goals in | :50:59. | :51:03. | |
major tournaments. -- who has. She has forced the corner this time, | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
Rubensson with the challenge. She is a key player, Mittag, she will get | :51:08. | :51:12. | |
the ball and run at defenders, a real playmaker. Very versatile, can | :51:13. | :51:13. | |
play anywhere. Behringer, who has had such a good | :51:14. | :51:34. | |
tournament, will take the corner. Popp is one of the targets. Kemme. | :51:35. | :51:46. | |
Oh, a nutmeg on Jakobsson. Now, she can attack the penalty area but her | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
finish, there was not as good as the one she produced in the semifinal. | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
There is a yellow card for Jakobsson. That was for the late | :51:58. | :52:01. | |
challenge, I think after the nutmegs. I think it was a coming | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
together of legs. Quite a harsh yellow card but Daebritz goes in and | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
she has got every right to have a go. This is the challenge again. I | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
think she was just going for the ball and completely mistimed. | :52:16. | :52:21. | |
Fischer. Jakobsson, now on the chase at the other end. In fact, Olivia | :52:22. | :52:37. | |
showed just collides with Bartusiak. -- Olivia -- Olivia Schough. | :52:38. | :52:47. | |
Confirmation of the yellow card. Jabbing towards the assistant | :52:48. | :52:54. | |
referee -- chirping at the assistant referee would probably not have | :52:55. | :52:56. | |
helped her cause either. No! Marozsan beaten to it. Germany will | :52:57. | :53:14. | |
be patient. However long it takes, this evening. Marozsan. Just beyond | :53:15. | :53:23. | |
Daebritz. Jakobsson helps it forward towards Olivia Schough. In a foot | :53:24. | :53:29. | |
race, she would fancy herself against either Annike Krahn or | :53:30. | :53:36. | |
Bartusiak. Away from Jakobsson, Kemme, who knew she could not make | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
the challenge. It is a goal kick in the end. The German full-backs like | :53:42. | :53:44. | |
to get forward and make those overlapping runs, but Cani -- Kemme | :53:45. | :53:53. | |
over kicked the last one of the surge forward but that is where | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
Sweden can get a Germany because both full-backs like to get forward, | :53:57. | :54:02. | |
there is space out wide. On that counterattack, in the midfield | :54:03. | :54:05. | |
runners can get into those diagonal positions. There could be a chance. | :54:06. | :54:19. | |
Mittag. Behringer. Leupolz. That is a terrific run, Hedvig Lindahl makes | :54:20. | :54:25. | |
the save and Mittag misses an absolute sitter! You very rarely say | :54:26. | :54:33. | |
that Germany missed sitters and they have missed two in this game | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
already. I said you have do follow-up because Hedvig Lindahl has | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
not looked confident. She has been spilling them and Mittag... Open | :54:41. | :54:46. | |
goal. Her level of ability, you would expect her to score from | :54:47. | :54:47. | |
there. Maier. Marozsan. Well, Germany usually punish teams | :54:48. | :55:03. | |
who make any kind of error like that but twice now, they have allowed | :55:04. | :55:07. | |
Sweden off the hook. They really have an because Sweden defence so | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
deep, those chances, you have to make sure you score them. Brazil got | :55:12. | :55:14. | |
frustrated because they could not find the final pass and the final | :55:15. | :55:17. | |
shot. Germany have got themselves into that position and missed two | :55:18. | :55:20. | |
good opportunities. Krahn will get there before | :55:21. | :55:27. | |
Jakobsson. Sweden have ridden their luck so | :55:28. | :55:43. | |
far. Is this just their year? Who knows? | :55:44. | :55:49. | |
She has not really got in the game so far, Asllani, a similar sort of | :55:50. | :55:55. | |
story to what we saw in the semifinal against Brazil. Marozsan. | :55:56. | :56:03. | |
Daebritz. Mittag was lurking, but Fischer was able to clear. Schelin. | :56:04. | :56:13. | |
Given the ball away. Kemme. Leupolz does well to try and find Behringer. | :56:14. | :56:28. | |
There is still a buzz around the stadium following that miss from | :56:29. | :56:31. | |
Mittag. Schelin, doing so much work. She | :56:32. | :57:14. | |
works tirelessly for her team. Much better centrally. She is prepared to | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
play out wide. Do that defending role. | :57:19. | :57:23. | |
Maier. Marozsan. If she is given the room, she will call Sweden problems | :57:24. | :57:39. | |
but on that occasion, the past has only presented Seger with an | :57:40. | :57:43. | |
opportunity and here is Schelin. Jakobsson in support. Schelin goes | :57:44. | :57:48. | |
for goal but always rising. Good break from Sweden, though. On the | :57:49. | :57:53. | |
counterattack, they have pace to get forward. You can see, it is just a | :57:54. | :57:59. | |
ball out wide and Schelin has made the run, burst forward, just a | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
couple of touches, done exactly what she needs to do by just leaning back | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
on the shot. They are showing glimpses. Don't forget, plenty | :58:10. | :58:19. | |
happening elsewhere this evening. On the Red Button now, coverage of Tom | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
Daley in the diving, the preliminaries of the ten metre | :58:24. | :58:29. | |
competition and over on BBC One, it is the gold medal match for Great | :58:30. | :58:33. | |
Britain's women in the hockey against the Netherlands. | :58:34. | :58:41. | |
And of course, if we remained goalless, here, it will go all the | :58:42. | :58:50. | |
way to a penalty shoot out bar extra time if needed. Schelin wins a | :58:51. | :58:56. | |
corner. She is just lurking down the right-hand side and Germany can't | :58:57. | :59:02. | |
afford to ignore her. No, I think she's trying to push Kemme back | :59:03. | :59:05. | |
because she knows how she likes to get forward, keep the full-backs | :59:06. | :59:09. | |
there. Like I said, that is where the space will be. -- will be, for | :59:10. | :59:20. | |
Sweden. Asllani is over the corner. Her delivery so far in the | :59:21. | :59:27. | |
competition has not been great. Particularly with all the height | :59:28. | :59:32. | |
waiting but that is a good delivery, Fischer was arriving. Leupolz is | :59:33. | :59:40. | |
able to clear. Samuelsson. First time this time from Asllani and she | :59:41. | :59:44. | |
may get another opportunity. Maier with the clearance. | :59:45. | :59:58. | |
developing into a very attritional struggle. | :59:59. | :00:07. | |
Sweden, dominating the corner count. Deeper this time from Asllani. Seger | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
was waiting. Dahlkvist | :00:16. | :00:17. |
