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.
