Day 14 BBC One: 00.00-04.00 Olympics

had the onside, Cheick Sallah Cisse. He was up against a German in the

quarterfinals and if you remember the World Cup from 2004, the Germans

did well against the resilience. They decided to back an Ivory Coast

fighter. It will be interesting to see how the crowd reacts and Cheick

Sallah Cisse is the world number three. He would go into the final as

If you have been out all day and had only just arrived back, I need to

tell you it has been a historic day for British's women's sport. --

British women's sport. Helen Richardson Walsh waiting in

the centre of the circle. Off the legs!

The Dutch are inside the circle. The angle, goal! Cullen has scored!

Great Britain are level! A penalty shootout... The Golden goal! Great

Britain have won the Olympic gold-medal! A first-ever gold medal

for Britain's female hockey players. Amazing scenes. There was not a

single penalty gotten past Maddie Lynch. Usually when we go to are

penalty shootout is think," oh, no. But not with Maddie Hinch in goal.

-- Madeline Hinch. Leigh you have gold-medal around your neck. Give us

an idea of the feeling of that. I do know whether to laugh or cry. It's

just surreal. It's believable because of us and our culture and

our team spirit and the respect for each other that we have will stop

its wonderful to be able to share it with everyone else because we know

what we've got --. We know how special it is now everyone else can

see that and that is what is so wonderful about sport. The battles

that you have all had to go through, not just on the pitch but off as

well. Is it possible to explain to people at home the sacrifices you

will have to make? Know. Probably not. It's difficult to put into

words what this means. Struggling to believe it at the moment. 17 years

ago when I started my career, we were so far of this. -- off. It has

just grown and grown over these last eight years or so. We have got an

incredible group of players, staff, we had the belief and this just

means everything, absolutely everything to get this goal. Just

before I speak to Kate, I want to ask how special it is to play a long

your gold-medal team alongside your wife. To get one of these but to

share it with one of these with someone like her is amazing. Just to

see Helen to go through double back surgery, maybe never play hockey

again, the strength she has shown has resonated throughout the squad.

Just so assured. I felt like more the crowd booed, the more she was

going to step up to show them. When we speak to people around the squad,

people have watched this around the years, it comes from the captain,

the one who set the standard. It goes through everybody who touches

the squad, they all have it. It's infectious. Two years ago, we went

through some difficult times in the squad and we pulled together and

said that we wanted to be the difference and inspired that it

future. We have done that tonight. The legacy of what is going to be

left behind after this night, the legacy of amazing hockey. What is

the legacy? For young girls and young boys, especially women, go out

and do what you want to do. If you want to be a teacher, a caretaker,

hairdresser, whatever you want to be, set your sights high and both

the life. We have just shown that if you go and do that, it comes true.

Weller we have hunted you down for a number of years, Kate, asking, "It

is your last tournament, Kate?" I'm going to ask the question for one

last time just for confirmation. Is this really it?

100%. I'm going to retire. I think it's a good way to go out. There is

not a better way to sum it up. From all of us, it has been a magnificent

journey to follow you and watch you. We wish you the very best of luck in

retirement. We are so proud. Thank you. 375th international cap. She

has to go down as one of the greatest sportswomen ever. They are

team players. Hockey history. For Helen and Kate, the first married

couple to win a gold medal for England than back in sailing. For

the whole team, they came here believing that they could do it. It

is just extraordinary to watch them doing it, to have such composure and

confidence. That will be one of my moments of Rio. That and Nick

Skelton today. Every day I can't think it's getting better but it is!

To you needed tissue? You need me to go there with you? I'm just

thrilled. I'm all right. Go and have a glass of something cold. Every day

it feels like there are landmark moments for British sport and

history is being made and the stories behind the stories make us

all emotional. Virtually every day. Tomorrow, we will have Nicola Adams

going for gold in the boxing. That will be around six o'clock. Aside

from Nicola Adams, the only British boxer who is still going is Joe

Joyce. Here's the men's superheavyweight

and he was up against it today. Ivanovic go in the semifinals. He

didn't get off to the best start, losing to the silver-medallist. We

would join the contest at the start of the second. But gold-medallist

awaits him. He has beaten both of these men in recent times. Joe Joyce

getting onto the front foot and beginning to close the gap on his

man. Straightaway Joe Joyce gets him. He will try and grab Ivan

Dychko. We know what he is about. He is starting to tire now, Ivan

Dychko. Joe Joyce is beginning to get closer. Can he begin to make

that investment in body shots that will plague dividends as the contest

progresses? -- paid dividends. Ivan Dychko began breathing through

an open mouth moments ago. Joe Joyce looking to unload heavy artillery to

the man in blue. A good right-hand over the top. I think the man in

blue is hurt. A grimace. I think he is suffering here.

When Joyce gets you in that position, look and end the manner in

the way he can turn and sync is hooked in his opponent.

It will help rapidly deplete the energy of your opponent. Ditch coat

is flat-footed now. -- Ivan Dychko. Have to find the room and space.

Better from Joyce. The movement of Ivan Dychko visibly slowing. Ivan

Dychko, his movement, slowing to batter the glazier as Joe Joyce

continues to walk him down and unload punchers from both the left

and the right flank to the long, lean torso of the world ranked

number one. Joe Joyce has responded brilliantly.

He is walking down his man and trying to target the head and body

is an go. -- Ivan Dychko. It will be at torrid three minutes for Ivan

Dychko. He keeps walking on to shots. Here comes Joe Joyce again.

He is wilting down to the canvas. He can barely hold his boxing stands,

the reigning world champion. He is beginning to mount up. Joe Joyce

swinging for the senses. This is what he has got to do. Keep

throwing shots, keep going forward. He is doing the right things but he

has got to keep it going. He has got to work here. Ivan Dychko, the world

champion, looking to mount a rally. He is a very proud individual.

To refit work to the body once again from Joe Joyce.

Ivan Dychko is exhausted. The body shots are hurting him.

Ivan Dychko is seemingly running on fumes. He still has two punch out

shots that will keep Joe Joyce at bay. But Joe Joyce is winding up.

Another one. Ivan Dychko like a tall tree that is ready to fall down

after being shot to buy the body. -- by. Marching his man backwards with

a heavy assault. Still Ivan Dychko stands.

he has two show the judges that he is in control. Ivan Dychko trying to

fight back. Can he find a couple of quality shots? Terrific performance

from Joe Joyce! He raises his arms immediately. The celebration. Great

Britain's Joe Joyce who conceded the opening round unanimously, responded

valiantly in round number two to take that round from all three

judges and sustain his assault throughout round number three.

Surely, surely Great Britain's Joe Joyce will go through to the Olympic

old medal bout and look to emulate the accomplishments. He fought toe

to toe. Joe Joyce, tremendous stuff. The body language at the end, it was

Joyce, he was on that front foot. It was better.

ANNOUNCER: The winner by a unanimous decision in the red corner, Great

Britain's Joe Joyce. Is through to the gold-medal bout. Terrific! Over

the reigning two-time World Championship silver-medallist Ivan

Dychko. He started slowly, he had trouble with the movements in the

opening round but he would not be denied. He continued to target the

body and he is through to contest Olympic gold in the superheavyweight

division. (CHEERING AND

APPLAUSE). He will square off against his

familiar rival Tony Yoka of France. Jo warmed up in the first round, it

is a mental game, boxing, he figured him out, second round he closed down

the gap, worked into the body. That takes your breath away. As you work

into the body, Dychko starts slowing down. He cannot throw the jab like

he was in the first round, and so to secure the fight, he did what he has

done in the second round, throws the distance, put more pressure, and

Dychko will soon fade, and that is what he has done, and I really happy

with that. And you are in Olympic final. One step closer to gold.

Don't worry about gold, just keep on winning. Keep it simple, yeah. I am

happy for him, I have seen Joe from grassroots come up, and now he is

hearing Rio, he is doing Capoiera in the ring. Staying hungry, staying

humble. And Joe's gold-medal match will be against Tony Yoka of France,

he beat the Croatian boxer to win his place. Look about for a shot.

And the final will be at 715 on Sunday evening. I saw a statistic on

Twitter not too long ago that said after the women in the hockey,

Britain has now won gold medals in 14 different sports at this

Olympics. No other country has managed more than ten. I have no

idea whether that is right, but a -- I saw that. We have had so many

great gold-medal moments, and all week we have been saying, don't be

surprised by Team GB, they have been absolutely phenomenal. They'd did

well in London, and what they have done is incredible. Unbeaten. Thank

you very much. We have a lot of live sport right across the limp against

this evening, we will have some wrestling and some boxing later,

don't go anywhere, last we had Jade Jones winning a gold medal, and it

is all eyes on the track once again, and Usain Bolt. That is our plan,

and I love it when the plan comes together.

(LAUGHS). Phil Jones has just seen it. That is his bashful face. You

see a lot of people only seeing Phil Jones' hand. He has a gorgeous face.

He is definitely, definitely a key member of the 18. Welcome to the

athletics come and we have a great night in store this evening. Of

course it is all about the relays, it is about distant in the 500

metres, it is about the hammer and the pole vault, and as Michael

Johnson would say, it is about getting the bat on around. But on.

-- baton. And that is what his teammates have to do for him

tonight. This will be fun. Athletes love the relays. It is not as much

pressure, you get a chance in the individual sport as an individual

athlete to work together as a team, it will be a lot of fun. What we

have seen over the years is the Great Britain team, the USA team,

not getting the baton around. Running out of the zone, dropping

it, all sorts of things. It is difficult. It is fun to watch a and

I would really like to see them all get around, and have a competitive

race down the home stretch and give them a run for their money tonight.

The British relay squad have been really strong in the last couple of

years, they set a new personal best at the anniversary games, they look

very good in qualifying. I have, and it is important to them, they are so

tight as a unit come and they really work well together, tonight is the

time when they can really come of age, because I believe they can get

a medal, and they ought to get a medal, providing they take a bit of

a risk, that is what they need to do tonight at two secure a medal. When

I say personal-best I mean national record, and the four ladies are... I

think they know each other very well, that is the most important

thing. They have a sense of comfort with each other. That ill that team

spirit which is necessary for them. The other thing you'll have to out

for is Germany, Germany works together as a team, they are very

well drilled, and they will have a problem. It will be tight but it is

exciting. For the men they did not have the fastest qualification, they

have lain one which is where the US women are, because of a fandango

that went on with their qualifications. But the men are...

You never know what decisions are made by coach in terms of those

personnel. What will happen is that the coaches will make those

decisions based on things that have happened earlier in the year, things

they have seen in the camps. But what has taken place here in these

championships, who knows why the coach made those decisions. That

team always worries me, they always does seem a little bit young and not

very mature, and just not that cohesive. It always seem like they

are a little bit rattled, and that is what happens, that is when you

drop the baton, when you have people who are a little bit rattled and not

so cohesive, and when I look at the women's team, I see a little bit

more settled, comfort, like you say, a little more confident. In the heat

of battle, this is no doubt the heat of battle. There is lots of activity

going on around you, and just in raw terms, it is one person running in

as fast as they possibly can and another person running out as fast

as they can, the person in front cannot see the person in the back,

and you are trying to exchange the baton. At full speed. That is very

difficult to do, and while there is a much going on around you, and

within a certain zone. That is very difficult to do. Typically what

happens is when teams drop the baton, it is not because they do

not... It is because they do not get the balance right and have no plan

B. They plan for perfect handouts which is round, it rarely happens

the first time. Teams in practice and off when it goes wrong, what we

next. You think there has to be trust, there has to be trust. That

is why CJ has been left out of the team. I don't think he ran a good

final leg. I have seen him run better, and he had that incident

last year with himself and James Ellington on the third leg. That

might be summing to do with it. There are some people that coaches

and athletes just go, God, I don't want that person on the relay team.

Just because they are not good relay runners. They do not perform well

under that sort of pressure. They may perform brilliantly as an

individual, but when they have to work with and exchange the baton,

some people are not capable of doing that, and coaches will decide to

leave that person for that reason. And there is Usain Bolt Houli part

of the Jamaican four x 100 team, he will bring the baton home for them.

Andre De Grasse, the gold-medallist,... Joy for the

Frenchman, at a guinea when he found out and looked up at the screen and

saw that he was just... You cannot even begin to imagine what that

feels like, I am sure he will pick himself up and be in that relay

squad tonight. Usain Bolt, he gets used to this, walking out to a medal

ceremony. Athletes are not always have to compete on the same night as

a medal ceremony, do they? Sometimes you do, they make the schedule for

the running event first, and then they figure out where are we going

to plug in another medal ceremony, so that they maximise people like

Usain Bolt, who get here early, so you can see him, they are so

strategic in how they do that. He will be fine in the relay. One thing

that he might have looked at this is having to be their weight earlier

than he wants to because he has two go to the medal ceremony. He is here

at the track to run in the relay anyway, so you may as well... If he

has sometime on his hands he can come up here and us company. It will

be an interesting relay. We will cut more about the relay, although there

is the 4x4 100 as well. -- 400. He seems to be absorbing it, doesn't

he. The last time that we are told he will contest the 200 metres in a

major championships. Sir Philip Craven presenting the medal, he will

be getting himself and all of his team ready for the Paralympic games

to follow year in Rio, -- to follow here. LeMaitre, I am sure there are

a lot of European spin fans who will be quite pleased on the half of

LeMaitre. A nice man, returning to form just at the right time. When

Usain Bolt does leave the stage, this is one of the contenders to

take over his mental at this distance, Andre DeGrasse, showed in

the semifinals perhaps what real potential he has, not so much in the

final, just outside 20 seconds. A silver medal was probably the thing

he was aiming for, he talked about giving Usain Bolt a run for his

money but it was never really likely. The Canadian 21-year-old

performing very well indeed. He has won bronze medal so far in the 100

as well, and a silver in the 200. So, the eighth time, Mr Usain Bolt

steps onto the top of the rostrum. Gold in the 200 metres to the third

time. Huge, huge reception to him here at

the stadium, it is not full here tonight, but they are witnessing an

historic moment. I am just wondering whether there is a little whimsical

look on the face of Usain Bolt, we have never seen him too emotional on

the rostrum, but I just wonder whether tonight you might see it.

Passport is about gold medals but it is also about statistics. In all of

his winning 200 metre times in World Championships and prolific games,

his fastest time was 19.4 zero. Last night was his slowest ever winning

time, 19.70 eight. -- 19.40. Lets remember how he got to a great

age. -- --8. COMMENTATOR: A new world record! Away they go, Usain

Bolt already going past. Blasting around. Gold for Usain Bolt! A new

world record! I do not believe it. Usain Bolt has it in his hand safely

and is the bend. It is Jamaica. One more chaste ago. It's a new world

record! Three gold medals! Bolt is getting into his stride. It

is Usain Bolt. He is pulling away. He is going to win the gold!

It is a clean start... Walt is out of the blocks really well. He is

already storming around the bend. It is a three metre lead. Bolt is going

to do it again! Here he goes. A new world record! He smashes it to

pieces. Gatlin leaving it at the moment but

here is Usain Bolt and he is go to take it! He takes it! What more does

he have for us? He gets away well. Already away from America. It is

Usain Bolt on his own. As he has been throughout his career. Usain

Bolt running away from everybody! 19.7. It is his gold, his eighth

gold. Number one! There we go. The eight gold medals.

It will be so weird to see Tokyo 2020 and see a different name. I

have kids Inc in that he is the only one that can wind sprints. They know

that there are other people capable of taking gold. --I have kids and

they think. He has just all the night and brought people from around

the ward solely to watch him. -- around the world. It wasn't his

quickest last night. He said afterwards that he didn't feel as

good down the home stretch. It didn't look as good but it was

enough to get the job done. It was all that Usain Bolt would have been

worried about. He wanted to put pressure on. He probably didn't

expect that there would be another competitor. He just wanted to put

pressure on these guys and did that beautifully. It was just enough to

be this. I looked at him at this. And. He lay buried a little bit. It

was earlier than when IM used to seeing him struggle. -- labouring. A

great night for Usain Bolt to win his third title as an Olympic 200

metre champion. I know that is something he certainly wanted. To

think is a start that was so electric comedy think it had an

effect? You are not really affected by anyone else's start. I think Sean

always knew that. We talk about Usain Bolt at start. The drive pace

is good. The drive pace in 200 metres is more important than the

start. You can get a fantastic reaction to the gun but if you can't

transition back into a drive pace, to propel you forward, when you are

at the vertical lean, it doesn't matter. We are obsessed with the

reaction time but if you can't transfer that into power, it doesn't

happen. Usain Bolt is very good at transferring that power back into

the track, propelling himself forward. If we look at the rest of

the race which was actually quite tight, you take Usain Bolt out, had

the race being run without Usain Bolt it would have panned out

differently. Is there a feeling that he is there so there is a second

race going on behind? I think the race would have panned out the same

way that what is lost is that because Usain Bolt is so amazing and

he won the race, what was lost, not on me, I was always anticipating

this was going to be a fantastic race behind Usain Bolt and it was.

Think about how close it was. It was a fantastic race to see, those guys

knew it was going to be tight. Athletes know what they have in

store going into the final based on what happened in the second final. I

believe that almost all of them took Usain Bolt out of the race. That's

why John Merrick wasn't concerned or affected by the start because they

knew the competition was going to be for the silver and bronze. Let's

look at Adam Gemili. That is perfect execution. I knew he wasn't happy

with it. This is the point he wasn't pleased with. I'd knew he tightened

up at the end. The more I look at Adam, he runs a little bit tight in

his upper body and that is something he is going to have two work on. He

hunches over with his shoulders, he is always that way. That is not the

best technique when it comes to the end of the 200 metres so he is going

to have to work on that in terms of changing his technique in the upper

body and the way that he runs, the way that he strides. That is just

the way he runs but it has a negative effect on the end of the

race. Does it affect the 200 more than the 100? Absolutely. By the

time it affects you in the 100, the race is over. The 200, you are

starting to fatigue and the more you are tight ups Des -- the more you

are tight at the top, you need more speed. You need to swing to go

faster and you get more power but when you are restricted, you are

hunched over, you restrict the motion. You aren't able to keep

their stride lean as much as you want. It shortened more because of

fatigue and you are not able to keep it open. I am going to pose a

question. Adam is going to be doing the last leg so that tightness you

mentioned, do you think that will have an effect because there is so

much tension around him? No. 100 metres, it won't really bother him.

It's almost like a double-edged sword. Over the 100 metres, it helps

him because he is so wrote Artic, -- robotic. Once you get beyond 100

metres, it starts to become a problem. I don't think it will will

bother him. Here is another question and you can all answer this. Are we

going to see those seven plus another one in seven or are we going

to see a whole new rash of sprinters coming through? It is about De

Grasse. It is important we start opening our minds about who is going

to fill that void. It's going to be difficult but the future of

sprinting will go on. If we divide up the next lot, we are going to

have an exciting run of world champions. That is the likely

scenario going forward. I see the championships trading in and out.

Somebody will win, maybe De Grasse, maybe someone else. It will probably

be a different one. De Grasse has the edge because he is winning

back-to-back championship medals and metal experience has got to play

hugely when it goes into major championships and he is still young.

-- medal. It is not always gold or silver. Gatlin probably will not

retire. You don't think so? Why would he? Remember, he won his

fastest time last you. -- he ran. Why would he retire when he is

looking at this going Usain Bolt is out of it? "I Can still stay in

this." He hasn't had any injuries. He has milage on his body. If you

are the world champion silver-medallist last year, you are

the Olympics were medallist this year and only silver because of one

person who is Usain Bolt, why not continue? Who can possibly begin to

predict it. Let's get down onto the track. We are going to be talked

through the four x 400 metre relay. On this penultimate evening, we only

have the marathon on. In the stadium. Let's hope we negotiate

through no problem. The women's polevault final as well. Arguably

the most controversial event of these games. The Russian has been

banned, the world champion. Yelena. That is exactly how she wanted to

start. She is a great major championship competitor. Sixth years

ago in London. The perfect start. Just wanted to settle her nerves. It

is an Olympic final medal on offer. Down to the other end, the women are

just about to start. We have steadily in front, USA, Romania,

Netherlands, Brazil and Ukraine. First of three from the two heats

and the two fastest losers through to the final.

The couple were brought in as reserves. They are the top eight

from Beijing last year. The eight fastest other teams.

The best of 16 in the world theoretically here.

If you have never watched a four x 400 before, it takes three bands.

That's why there is a bigger stagger. It is not until the second

leg that they break for the inside. United States. Natasha Hastings,

maybe Spencer to come in. Ukraine looking strong as well in lane

eight. The ankle turning a little bit.

It is good to see a initially with the long, long stagger, how it will

play out. A good start by Ukraine and so to buy the Netherlands. --

by. Are good, strong start to the second

leg from Australia from Annelise Ruby. We are so used to seeing this.

A big lead for United States at the moment. Are not a good start for the

French team who we thought would be a danger. They had a poor first leg.

Fading in the dark blue, a long way back at the moment. United States in

the lead, going well. Just wanting to make sure they get that buttoned

safely now. The Polish quartet has another chance as well. They have

their weaker runner with the bat on at the moment.

Someone who has run low 50s, McCorory. What a race developing

behind her for the other qualifying players. It is Ukraine, Holland,

Australia and the Netherlands, now they wait, the last change here.

McCorory will give it to Phyllis Francis. Plenty of experience there.

The United States clear. A real scrap on here for second and third.

France desperately trying to get close, this would be a bit of a

surprise if this French 4x4 100 Quartet do not qualify. -- 400. They

are currently in sixth. Moving into fourth, fifth place now. The United

States and then look at that Lake Claire from, Holland and Australia,

surely she has got nothing left. -- Poland. United States are going to

win this, Ukraine and then it will be Poland taking the third spot,

Australia and then France. That was only around a three point would be

which I am really surprised in, they had a terrible start, they had a

back loaded team with two did names, but they got off to a poor start,

and it is a risk you take in the rounds, so the United States, you

would think would be through safely. We just want to have a little look

at the first change. I mean, you have to start wondering

over there, you would think, why has nobody else done this. That was a

handicap start there. You would be very disappointed by France, Ukraine

I thought were very strong, they had Zemlyak in the anchor leg. United

States, we know they are clear favourites for the gold medal, I am

not sure anyone can touch them, but the Jamaicans will give them a much

better run for their money than anyone here. But France, this was

the strongest Quartet, this was a four who took silver at the European

championship, it is that thing of back loading, you are not in

position. It will always be difficult to lift yourselves. That

is a fairly quick time for the French. Suddenly Poland are in

amongst it, a good performance from them, so the United States, Ukraine

and Poland, all of those three through, Australia and France have

to watch the second semi-final. The American Okolo Morris -- Sandi

Morris. The world leader. The jump of 4.90 three. A contender for the

title here. Perfect conditions. -- four. 93.

The world recordholder and announced her retirement in the last four

hours. Sandy Morris, -- Sandi Morris, good start. Silver than,

Yarislay Silva of Cuba. A short approach, but an easy clearance.

Silva looking good. It is going to be a tight competition is, but we

have a Brit involved in Holly Bradshaw, looking good. Silva very

good when it matters, a good pressure jumper, and that is going

to be something she may need to draw on. Silva, good start.

We are well under way on the track, with those relays starting already,

the 4x400. The men's hammer is under way, the women's 5000 metres goes at

148, at 215 it is the four x 100 metre relays, we will carefully help

you navigate your evening through that, and at 2:35am it is the men's

four x 100 metre relay. A possible ninth gold for Usain Bolt. Let's get

back down to the track, you can see their Emily Diamond, it is the start

of the next heat for the women's four x 400 metre relay. When you saw

the Great Britain Quartet, in lane two, Jamaica are very strong, they

made the final. Germany, Bahamas, it Cuba, Canada as well. India and

Italy flanking Great Britain. It is Emily Diamond, Silva, Kelly Massey

and Ohuruogu. Emily Diamond leading off Great

it is Emily Diamond, Onuora, Kelly Massey and Christine Ohuruogu. She

is running very strongly, Emily Diamond. This elongated stager.

Christine Day taking to make out. The other world champions, and

perhaps a little premature in saying that no one can touch the United

States. Because Jamaica certainly can. A good run at the moment as

well from the Canadians out there in lane eight, Caroline Miller. --

Caroline Muir. There are four teams in a chance here, with the Bahamas,

Italy, and Canada to get amongst it. This is a huge opportunity for

Onuora, overlooked for individual selection, and not only with a bit

of a point to prove, but she wants to make sure that she has a good

strongly here, if Britain at have a chance. Kelly Massey next and then

Christine Ohuruogu. Canada strong, Bahamas starting to come here, the

Germans are going well at the moment and Italy will still be a danger,

because they have Ohuruogu on the last leg. It has been a good leg by

a Onuora, not too far behind the Jamaicans, Canada, but certainly the

Canada, just beginning to move past Kelly Massey at the moment, but they

need to panic in the relays. You can be split and put into quick as Bert

come as we have seen in the past. Kelly Massey, ran well in Amsterdam,

that is why she was putting the team. She did not run in the final

in Amsterdam, but she may be asked here, because she has won a storming

leg. Kelly Massey, along Wade back the Italians, -- a long way back,

through three on the last leg. Also on some chaos at the changeover,

something went amiss in the infield. Christine Ohuruogu is able to fix

her stare at on the Jamaican runner, Williams Mills,, it is a good run by

Canada, said Watson is -- Sage Watson. She is taking herself in

behind Ohuruogu. Ohuruogu looks panic, but she is running well.

Ohuruogu will surely have enough to respond and hold off Watson, Jamaica

able to cross the line well in front in first place, but Ohuruogu ringing

Great Britain Northern Ireland home for Great Britain, and then Canada

and then Italy. Front were in the fastest losers position from the

first heat, and I think they might... They might be gone.

Christine Ohuruogu has wrought Great Britain and Northern Ireland home,

they are safely through to the final, a hug between the teammates

there are job done. A long way behind Jamaica, as the others were

behind the United States in the first heat, but a tidy and a run.

That is going to mean that Franz Iraq, because the Italians, Grenot

won a great leg for them -- ran a great leg for them. A cracking leg

for Christine Ohuruogu. -- for Anyika Onuora. It was a real is that

the change for the Canadians, a real worry for them. -- scrappy change

for the Canadians. You could not see it on that shot, at the Canadians

were really hampered by the Jamaicans, that gave Christine a

little bit of leeway, Grenot was miles back, that is a season is best

for the Quartet, but I think they will have to find a little bit more

if they are going to get amongst the medals here. Christine Ohuruogu

brings them home, Great Britain were the fourth fastest qualifying time

overall in that heat, taking second behind Jamaica, with Canada going

through, Italy the fastest loser qualifier there. Holly Bradshaw,

that was so close to staying on. She looked as though she got over that,

I would like to see this in slow motion. It is a first-time failure

for Bradshaw at this new height. We have just seen the Greek athlete to

clear, have a look at this, she gives it the rattle and is

dislodged. Unfortunately for Bradshaw, two more attempts to stay

involved in this polevault final. Let's just tidy this 4x400. They did

not make it through without Muir, they may have been, France and there

either. Not through is a fastest loser, that goes to Italy and

Australia, so the United States and the maker, -- and Jamaica. They are

through, Great Britain, that is the important thing.

Last night we saw one of the true greats in athletics, Ashton Eaton,

the decathlete, clinch his second gold medal in the decathlon,

matching defeat of Daley Thompson in 1984. This is the climax of the 1500

metres. You have to hand it to this guy. He

is stretching away again, trying to muster some kind of finish. He is

making Ashton Eaton work hard here. The world recordholder. No records

here today, just making sure of the gold medal. We are going to see a

sprint finish and the three medallists already trying to move

towards winning this 1500 perhaps moving a little bit closer. Ashton

Eaton going around the bend, Warner with him. These are our three

medallists in what has been a very, very high standard decathlon. Ashton

Eaton, the greatest there has ever been, the greatest all round

athlete. Wonderful, wonderful champion. He has won the Olympic

champion, Ashton Eaton the gold-medallist. That was a joy to

watch because it got competitive in the end. He had to work for it. A

great champion, he doesn't get enough credit. Back home he is a

great huge star. Nikkei has done a great job. -- Nike. He is happy to

work his craft in the background, he is a really great student of

athletics and the decathlon. He worked alongside his coach on all of

the technical aspects of each event. Interesting that you say it is a big

star at home. Would people know that who he is? Would he go on chat

shows? Slow down a little bit. I should have said relatively

speaking, he is a big star at home. Obviously, he would not compete with

the NBA players or NFL players. In terms of the Olympics though.

Whatever happens in the Olympic cycle, advertisers start to pick who

the advertisers are that they want to represent them. It was Allyson

Felix this year. He was big. We saw him an different ads. He is one of

the big stars of the entire Olympic team. Is it possible to compare he

and daily? -- Daley. Ashton is just a fantastic athlete, it's a

different era. It's a shame he doesn't quite get the recognition he

deserves. Maybe he would choose to do a few more event on the circuit,

that would build his profile more. I want to give a quick nod to Kevin

Mayer, the Frenchman who won a medal. It was such a huge, huge

event, the decathlon. Over the last few years, it has waned with the

likes of old being around. -- Usain Bolt. For the UK, we haven't had

many body for the last few years have been out there challenging.

Ashley Bryant would have qualified here. He had an unfortunate miss hap

in his polevault. -- mishap. It is difficult to compete without your

proper poll. He was chasing the qualification and didn't make it.

Let's hear from Ashton Eaton. Congratulations on a wonderful

performance. The only man after our own daily Thompson to retain an

Olympic decathlon title. Our specialist that? Very special. You

know what? One day I am going to have to see Daley Thompson. Thanks

for giving me something to chase, I will say. I thinker had a lot of

defining moments. Right from the shotput, I was getting after it, the

discus, I was getting out it. The throws are what kept me on this. For

me, my modus operandi is running, I don't have less of past speed. --

laser fast. You are 28, history has been made. Do you think you will be

three in a row? Leigh ask Daley Thompson if you think I should.

-- ask a daily Thompson. Congratulations. To my fans, you're

the reason I do this, thank you. Get in touch with us, Daley, thanks. But

to mind ourselves how great you are. COMMENTATOR: All eight metres for

Daley Thompson, tremendous! That is a very fine shotput. Always clear!

Thompson is going well. Thompson is there!

Yes! He is very, very confident at the moment. A big throw! At

beautiful throw. Just under 65 metres. The crowd are already

applauding the greatest all-round athlete in the world, Thompson, the

Olympic champion! It's a better one, it's a better one, it is a better

one, it's a better one! Is dancing in the circle. The IronMan comes

through. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. The master is

clear! 00 Olympic champion. -- double Olympic champion.

I think Ashton needs to put on that moustache. He is too clean cut. I

think Daley will tell him to continue. Injuries marred his career

but he was determined to go for number three. I was just watching

daily, Usain Bolt is the new Daley Thompson. That is what made Daley,

he had a charisma and confidence and he was an entertainer. Usain Bolt is

the new Daley Thompson. It gave permission for the next Daley

Thompson and rarities. He will be running in another race a little bit

later. Icho -- it shows you that athletes come in all shapes and

sizes. Well done one and all. Emily, key to

get into the race. Always that Eamonn first leg. Try get into a

good position. -- get the lead in the first leg. We got the job done,

we qualified tomorrow, have to bring it back tomorrow. You had to be

chomping at the bit to be involved in the Olympics, you did a good job.

I was watching the rest of the girls perform and yeah, I was waiting for

my time. Great to step out in nearly the stadium. Loving the Olympic

errors well. I try. -- loving the Olympic hair. And have a lot of

experience with the relay. I could feel the Canadian on my shoulder but

I wanted to keep the inside of the curve and crossover in second again

with a goodly but these two girls got us. Christine, safely through to

another final. You have been his semi- ties with the British team, a

strong medal hope for you? We try not to get overexcited. We are going

to go back, rest up and come back and fight for tomorrow. We wish you

all well for the final and well done, good luck.

Sandi Morris of the United States. Easy clearance for her.

She is looking very competent, very capable. A comfortable height for

her on paper, she is making it look easy. Morris, a perfect start to

this polevault final. There is Holly Bradshaw. She is

getting herself ready for her second attempt. Four metres 60. We have

seen a cat Renee Stefanie Perri clear already.

For athletes only clear on their first event. Yes! She is over, she

has got it. That is a really good jump. -- Ekaterini Stefanidi. A

quick look at how they line up for the men's four x 400 relay. Lumpier,

Botswana, Japan, Jamaica, United dates. Poland and Trinidad Tobago.

France on the outer side. -- United States. The Russian quartet.

Botswana would have a much stronger but they are missing someone.

McDonald who went well in the individual, running strong for

Jamaica. This very, very powerful Trinidad Tobago quartet. Jonathan

and Solomon running for them. Trinidad Tobago with America. A

good run for Botswana but three or four contenders in here at the

moment. It is going to be close. USA, Botswana, off to a good start.

The junior champ who is not here would have made a big difference to

them. These heats are not easy. Sometimes you look at it and think

that you know who the top four or five teams are but this is

difficult, USA have got others to bring in, as you said. Jamaica

perhaps have got another one or two to bring in. They think this will be

the best that Botswana has got. The French are trying to stay in touch.

Botswana just being held off at the moment by the United States. Carl

Clemens takes it on. Botswana might start to recede a

little bit and Trinidad Tobago have very strong squad throughout.

Another good leg for Botswana. Trinidad Tobago, Jamaica, these

for just started to separate themselves. Only three go through

automatically. It is a a real scrap on for fifth

place. A good race so far. Botswana might

be the ones to struggle here of the top three.

Jamaica. The United States is out in front. A little bit disappointing in

the individual but only a semifinalist. He is hanging on at

the moment. He is making it look like hard work.

These three will begin to move away now. Poland looking for a fastest

loser position. Jamaica eventually take it.

Trinidad Tobago comfortable enough in third place. That was a good

race, a good run, America will certainly get stronger. I wonder if

they will use Clement again. That was a good race, first and foremost.

You're cracking race. You can see, the standard is listing here. We

expected the USA and they have got plenty to bring in, plenty of

options. Jamaica going well. They did enough to chase down the

USA. Trinidad Tobago, their best team so they got through their best.

Botswana, even without the junior champion, they held in fourth. You

get under three minutes, the British team haven't got under three minutes

this year, that means, that is much quicker than the Polish team ran at

the championships. Top three go through and then the two fastest

losers, Britain need to be really strong in this next semi. Anybody

going through the low three minutes is a very, very good run. Botswana

are missing a couple of very, very talented athletes. Sometimes they

have had Nigel Amos in the past. Jamaica, United States and Trinidad

Tobago. Those times for Botswana and Poland will stand them in very

good stead. That is Lutalo Mohammed going for

gold. The men's hammer final, it is Belarus, a previously convicted drug

cheat, medals taken away from him, mixed feelings, certainly decide of

the fence watching on. 40 years of age now. It is a throw of over 75.

Ivan Tsikhan goes in the lead. Yarisley Silva, this is her second

attempt for the world champion from last year. She made that look really

easy. Very quick, short approach. Not one of the tallest pole

vaulters, but very athletic, gymnastics background, Yarisley

Silva, got it right the second time, and that foul may count against her,

later in the competition. Great Britain have probably drawn

the easier I think of the two heat, they should be able to get through

with the Tapia, Nigel Lavigne will leave them, William second, Hudson

Smith, then Martyn Rooney. Martyn Rooney ran like, Euro and what he

said he ran like, -- you remember what he said he ran like, let's hope

he does not run like that again. Williams ran a great leg, 44.8 leg,

Trinidad, they have been disqualified. We are not directly

why, it may be an infringement with that changeover. A very strong

quartet disqualified. That would really enhance Great Britain's

polish -- prospect of a medal. Botswana missing one of their better

runners, Trinidad one of the big danger is perhaps, at the moment

disqualified. That is confirmation of it. We have seen appeals be

upheld, we have seen quite a lot of them being upheld, the jewellery of

appeal -- jury of appeal have been very active at these championships.

We are not entirely sure what that is for, but we will check for you.

Great Britain just switch around of the auto, Nigel Lavigne, -- of the

order. Delanno Williams is a really good run, Matthew Hudson Smith,

there is well. American Republic, Bahamas, Cuba, Venezuela, India,

Belgium and Rizal. -- Brazil. Things, I should never tempt fate

should I. Things look good in this heat for Great Britain. Something

around the three-minute mark just to be safe, top three in and around

three minutes. Now that Trinidad have been disqualified from the

first heat, the fastest loser spot has shifted one. So now fronts are

sitting in a fastest loser spot of 3.8 two. 3.82. Brazil are in this by

the way. Nigel Lavigne, so much experience, a

good man to have on the leadoff leg. He will be hoping to keep it nice

and solid. -- Nigel Levine. No theatrical here from the British

team. Always hard in lane one with this the long stag, Venezuelan going

well. And Brazil, the cheer to the rafters. Alonzo Russell also having

a good leg, and it might be the Bahamas at this first leg. A good

run by the Brazilian runner, and Nigel Levine picking up, he will be

handing over to Delanno Williams, very much part of the relay squad

now in Brazil, Rousseau takes it on, can be proud -- can the crowd at

Brazil to a performance above their abilities. Alonzo Russell from the

Bahamas in the front. Another good race developing here, Delanno

Williams just latching onto the back of Jonathan Borlee. That is a good

run from Delanno Williams. Just a bit of daylight between themselves

and Brazil, only the top three will qualify by rights, and just give

Martyn Rooney a good chance on the last leg, we know what he does on

the last leg in the relay, normally so dependable. Stephen Gardner, the

hugely talented Bahamian, just taking it easy at the moment. The --

here he comes now. So much in the reserve there to give the Bahamas

are lead, a good run by Dylan Borlee, the younger of the Borlee

boys, and Great Britain will be in a good position going into the final

leg. Just wanted to make sure he got the baton safely, Martyn Rooney

should be fine here. Zilla chasing, -- Brazil are chasing. The Bahamas

-- Newbould of the Bahamas might come under a bit of pressure. Kevin

Borlee and Martyn Rooney know each other very well. Look at this,

Martyn Rooney wants to make up to a really poor run individually, he

looks fantastic there, Martyn Rooney coming home for Great Britain, the

time we pretty good as well, under three minutes. That is better, much

better. That men means that -- that means that they have put themselves

in the middle zone. -- medal zone. These guys did great. Set up lovely,

did them proud, and we know what he can do with a baton on the last leg.

Nigel Levine with a very good 45.7, Williams 44 flat, that is another

cracking leg from him, Hudson Smith solid 45.3, and Martyn Rooney, but

went through bit of a saunter in 43 point eight. -- 43.8. We are talking

about the relays, why can't he do that in... It is another subject,

but goodness me. He is running great in the relay, that is all we carried

out at the moment. Well under three minutes, and this has really shifted

them now, they have a chance. Martyn Rooney, he has that sense of "I need

to make amends for that performance in the individual. " He is a great

relay runner. We saw in the European Championships when Matthew Hudson

Smith was on the end -- anchor leg, Martyn Rooney likes feeling that he

is the most experienced guy in the camp, he was saying to everyone at

the end, you should be proud, he is the leader of the team, and he

produces performances in the relay that he does not in individuals.

That time there suddenly puts this men's four x 400 metre quartet into

a great position. Especially with Trinidad Tobago being

disqualified. That is a great time. He went straight to his team, that

is a team event. And as a quartet they work so well there.

That is a pretty QuickTime, 2.58.88, three seconds quicker than their run

at the European Championships. Belgium will also be contenders, the

Bahamas will go through and Cuba will go through as fastest losers,

sadly not Brazil at the moment. We are getting towards the business and

of this women's pole vaulting final, the bar is now at 4.7 zero.

Stefanidi, first attempt, that was a really competent clearance. That has

been really consistent in the diamond lead, -- diamond lead. Ever

so consistent. Stefanidi. Clear at 4.70. All right then, Holly

Bradshaw. She has knocked it off once, this new season 's best, one

centimetre shy of her British record. Second attempt, 4.70. Yes!

Holly Bradshaw goes clear, her coach looking on, looking rather calm it

has to be said. Great stuff from the Brit. Only one athlete has gone

clear of this height, and now it is two. One of them is a Brit, Holly

Bradshaw. Seventh last year at the World Championships, she loves the

big stage, going well. At the moment, this is how the

qualifiers look. It is not quite official on our screens for the

second heat, as you heard, Trinidad second heat, as you heard, Trinidad

Tobago disqualified from the first round, so it is these eight.

Jamaica, United States, Great Britain, and that time is

significant, it gives them a chance. Eldon, Botswana, Poland, Bahamas and

Cuba. They will contest the final tomorrow. -- Poland. -- Belgium.

Through to the final, you must be thrilled as a team. We ran quite

quick as well. It is quite tough when you're in lane one, so tried my

best to set up for the others, to make it easier for the final. It was

quite tough running in lane one. But hey, I did my best, hopefully, and

it was good enough for us to make it through to the final, winning our

heat, I am... I am ecstatic. I am quite happy. You did a fine job,

trust me. And so do you, 44 seconds flat is what I heard from our

statistician. That is tremendous. A take inspiration from my captain,

Martyn Rooney, it has been good. I feel good, I just have to get to

recovery and stick to it. And you have had a busy time of it, you came

back, what was left, it seemed... I am dead. I just tried to get Martyn

to a position where he could attack and do what he does best. That is

all I could do really. You brought the team home so many times in

style, including last year, 43.8 V you, -- to you. What more can you do

now in the final? I want to celebrate this first, but I am so

proud of these boys, we had a tough lane draw, these guys rose to the

occasion, they are incredible. My last interview was terrible, I will

not swear in this one, sorry about that, but I just want to thank these

guys and the national lottery to bring us together, and to bring us

together and train, and it is paying off. The eliminated runner, he will

not make it? It is a massive loss to the team, but he is here, he is

supporting us, he is guiding us, he is my captain, and without his

support we would not be here. Wishing you all well, all the best

in the final. the result wasn't official will stop

Great Britain have been disqualified. I have no idea why,

India have also been disqualified. We mentioned Trinidad and could

Tobago from the first heat. -- Trinidad Tobago. The elation that

they had at the end of that race was won that which obviously they were

realising what had happened. I couldn't see anything wrong. We will

try and find out. I am not sure if they are still there. I'm trying to

see whether they are and whether they know. There is a medal ceremony

going on in the stadium so there -- it will be a bit difficult to find

out what is going on. Disqualified for the moment. Will go back to the

studio for now. That is the medal ceremony for Ashton Eaton. As

Stephen said, we all have no idea. Nothing you can think of that was an

infringement? York second position runner has to wait until he crosses

the break line which would be the 100 metres to the track mark. If you

crossed that before you get to that point, that would be a

disqualification. Most of the disqualifications in the four x 400

metre relay, as a result of someone protesting that you impeded them.

That is too quick for that to have happened. It has to have been the

judge deciding that he saw something somewhere that was an infringement

and are just can't think of what that would be. It is rare that in

some cases, the judge will not wait for another team to protest EPC is

an infringement, if he sees someone cross in front of someone. -- if he

sees. I didn't see a lot of changes in the latter part of that race in

terms of position, a lot at the beginning. Maybe someone cut someone

asked. The other thing that could happen is if they position you here,

according to weigh your incoming runner comes, with 100 metres to go.

-- according to where. They can disqualify you. People have done

that because, say they put me in second position, if my guy passes

the guy in first, if I pushed him over because I want to be in first

position, I can't do that. I will be disqualified. There are some blues

they because it has come up on the big screen that India, Trinidad

Tobago and Great Britain have all been disqualified. With a 4x4,

either sometimes somebody impeding. -- it could be somebody impeding

them that causes the disqualification. Let's have another

look because we are surely have all the changeovers. Now.

This would be fairly straightforward. There is no

infringement there that I can see. Nothing the first lake. Everything

is clear at this point. Here is the second one. Nothing that I can see

there at that particular changeover. Again, it's not just limited to the

changeovers. It could be something that happened in another area. At

work clearing up the changeovers that. Blair Martin is not in the

right place. -- Martin was not in the right place. I think Paul is

right. We have been told it is the rule of way you can't start running

outside your zone. He is in the zone when he picks it up. Why is he on

the inside? They weren't in the lead at the top.

I think they were. He took it slow for the Bahamas and then passed

Great Britain. Martin had one foot outside the line. You can't start

running, you have to be inside. Whether the judges decided that

Martin had started running because he had one foot outside. He

literally had one foot outside the zone, that would be incredibly

harsh. Rooney can't start running, he has to be inside the line. As far

as I can see, he was. Steve, I was looking as you are

explaining that rule and I did not see an instruction of that rule. --

obstruction. May be a don't understand that will

exactly as it should be. I am just wondering if it is the position. You

said they lined up according to... We weren't able to see whether

incoming runners were. Was he in second place when he entered the

straight? They are not supposed to move. They would also be

disqualified. Isn't it at the 200 cheque? At the bend? -- check. That

is the second change and you are happy with that. Can we go back to

the rule about you have to be in the position that the official puts you

in, that would mean that Great Britain swapped with the Bahamas

which would also mean that the Bahamas would be disqualified. That

would not be that because they would also disqualify the Bahamas.

Is about where Martyn Rooney took off. I then see that. --I don't see

that. We have seen so many rules being broken, people being

disqualified, reinstated, what will happen? Remember when Tamsin Lewis

got Natasha disqualified, in the Commonwealth? Australia were

disqualified then, she moved position. Everybody is baffled. Just

baffled. Is Martyn Rooney tells the Bahamas athlete to move over, and he

doesn't, they would not disqualify the Bahamas. We will hopefully be

able to some clear news about why Great Britain was disqualified.

Fantastic run, it is devastating. Paula has joined us because

obviously the women's 5000 metres is going on in the track shortly.

You come from Richard sporting and athletics. . She has look good this

year. -- she has come from rich sporting and athletics royalty.

She is getting to the bell and thinking that she has a lot left.

She is letting gaps open up. She can use it earlier in a flat race.

We began this with an Olympic record.

D'Agostino, the two of them got up and hobbled round. Almaz Ayana took

the record. Women's 5000 metre final and eloquent to stand up -- they are

going to stand up. A lot of questions kicking around tonight.

Today about whether Almaz Ayana is great to do the same. She had a lot

of help in the 10,000 in the sense that the first 4000 metres

effectively had a pacemaker. I am not sure she is going to get that

tonight. Goodness me. It's not hard, just walk to the line, keep your

toes behind the line. I'm not sure if it's the athletes or the

officials who are a bit gingery. -- jittery.

It was a stunning run which shocked an awful lot of people. They has

been a lot of discussion in the environment in which we all exist

these days, fingers of suspicion. But you don't raise championship

races that fast very often. They don't bring big 10,000s very often,

and she showed her ability is such that not only had Sami people are

running faster than ever before. -- so many. She read the record book

and the standards by which distance running is judged on one if she can

do the with 5000 metres. She certainly did rewrite the record

books, but look at her style. She is very economic. She runs so

comfortable. She doesn't like athletes around her. She doesn't

tend to have athletes around her. But there is Eilish McColgan. Great

to see her here. I used to be nervous, because you said it didn't

really agree with her. But now Eilish McColgan is running around

them on the outside. Just relaxing in the race. A good place to be fed

her. -- for her. Liza McCarney of New Zealand, 19 years of age and

making a sensational improvement this year as a first-year senior --

Eliza. She started her competition well in the final. She goes clear.

We see Bradshaw brokenly at the site. We solves Brickley at this

height. -- we saw Bradshaw go clear at this is height. It is a good

clearance in the end for McCarney. She will be a contender.

The last athlete to attempt this height, Buchler. We have seen three

athlete broke clear on their first attempt only. 3000 and you are out,

of course -- three. She does. For athletes go clear at 470. The next

height is 480. Bradshaw is amongst them -- four athlete. A good pole

vault final developing. The 5000 metres is approaching the first 1000

in about three minutes. Pretty slow, especially given what Almaz Ayana

run the other night. She ran 14.30 and no other woman in this field has

run out for 5000 at all this year. Including Mercy Cherono. That put

some perspective on the actual figures. When you analyse those

figures, they were staggering figures. I agree with what you said

earlier, the fact that they don't run big 10,000 metres at a rally in

the championships do you get a pace lead like they did in that 10,000

metres. Unlike today, three minutes for the first 1000 metres says it is

pretty steady. Most of them can run under 15 minutes for 5000 metres. In

their place is Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot. This is a more

comfortable place. There is Eilish McColgan looking relaxed on the

outside. There is Eilish McColgan. I am a bit surprised that Miyuki

Uehara is sitting in the front. But with nine laps to go, I think she

will be waiting and waiting, and Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot is in the

right place, just one spot behind her. There is a bit of space. Almaz

Ayana doesn't like athletes around her. She does not like running near

them. She has that open space. I notice all the time that Almaz Ayana

is looking at the clock, and I since she is getting ready to make a move.

-- sense. So Mercy Cherono, Cheruiyot, running for the silver

medal. There was a redhot favourite, and Almaz Ayana return apart. The

silver medal was taken then because she was so devastated by the running

from Almaz Ayana, is committed front runner not yet at the front. She was

listening to what I said. She said OK, Steve, sorry about that. She can

change gear. She's not the fastest. But in the middle of the race, she

has taken them by surprise again. She will do it again, another 3000

metres. A little more than 3000 metres. Let's see how fast she goes.

Just under eight laps to go in the women's 5000 metres. The 10,000

metre champion and world record holder is now striking out and

making a long run for home. We have seen her do this in the World

Championships last year. We saw her do it in an believable style in the

10,000 metres earlier this week. -- unbelievable. There she goes down

the back straight. That is an absolute real injection of pace.

Three minutes for the second kilometre.

Sandy Morris of America, third best ever after her jumping indoors for

93. The height is now 470 in the Olympic final. Second attempt, goes

clear. Bradshaw did it on her first attempt, so at the moment, Bradshaw

in a better position than the world leader, Morris. Good clearance,

though. The next height is 480. Great shots of that clearance by

Sandy Morris. This is now all about one person, Almaz Ayana, on her own,

putting in a 65 second mark, which is pretty devastating. Their uneven

pace would be 68. It just shows she has jotted down all of a sudden, and

then world-class runners, Cheruiyot has four world titles and three

Olympic medals and is nowhere near, can't even touch Ahmadzai and.

Eilish McColgan is in the group behind. -- touch Almaz Ayana. She is

working hard to get to that second group of the three canyons. --

Kenyans. She's at the peak of her form. Attending to become the second

Ethiopian to win the 5000 metres and 10,000 metres double. You would not

bet against a few. 6.5 laps to go. Almaz Ayana is pulling away at every

stride. Eilish McColgan Bunning at the back of the group and looking a

bit hot, hurting a little -- running. But she has to stick to the

task and stay at the back allegro. But there is some talent in that

group as well. Paula Radcliffe, this is expected. She didn't go from the

start but she has run city five and a 66, and at the moment, nobody can

live with that. She probably did not expect the world record pace in the

Cheruiyot, but then a slow down and she was happy to sit there. It was a

question of when she would go -- in the third lap. We are not going to

risk trying this, going this pace from this far out, because we won't

do it and will have lost a chance of holding on for our medal. Ahmadzai

are not with five laps to go leading this 5000 metres by about 30 metres.

We just saw the reigning Olympic champion go out. So looking to go

clear. She has knotted over three times, and the world champion go

sour. -- knocked it over. Bradshaw is remaining. The next height is

480. The world champion, Silva, is not one of them. Look at that. No

more. We will keep an eye on that while

Ayana continues to push on. Outside the 15 minute pace. Eilish McColgan

is in the shape of her life and has done very well to get to the final

here. She is back in the main group that does not contain the African

runners here. The canyons are in their own battle for silver and

bronze. -- Kenyans. She has really missed the break and has no chance.

A big group run the group there. Eilish McColgan will stay in that

group. She will be hoping she can get past a few at the end. Under the

world record average for the Fed, tell. If she had done from the

start, what you think she is capable of? -- third climate. Close to 40

minutes. She came close in the last 5000 metres net 10,000 metre

victory. Today she met the leader go and on the prescribed time with

about eight laps to go, she decided it was time to get away. She doesn't

like athletes around her and doesn't like athletes in front or behind to

eating too close. She's little bit nervous about that -- getting. But

Cheruiyot is now in third place. We think Ollie by is about ready to go

in the pole vault. She is, Steve. -- we think Bradshaw. This could be a

medal job if she goes clear. -- job. It was close. She has two more

chances. She looks angry. We will keep an eye on Holly Bradshaw. Two

more attempts. In the meantime, Ayana a long way ahead. She has

dropped the pace a little bit at 4000 metres. She has just run a 69

second -- 69 second lap. Cheruiyot with their head down. She's clear

amongst the medals. We fully expect her to get a medal. Every time she

comes to a tepid ship, every time since 2009, she has done it --

championship. Did that 65 and 67 lap do too much damage? Now the crowd

are barring. -- mooring. They see the tiny Kenyan come racing past

Ayana. Cheruiyot is motoring now. She is moving away from Ayana. In

the last lap, she has closed down three or four seconds or even more.

There she goes around the top bend. Cheruiyot, the silver-medallist in

the 10,000 metres, she has won medals in every event, but not a

gold medal in the Olympic Games. Could this be her night? She will

come into the finishing straight. The laps global change. It will be

one that to go for Cheruiyot -- lap score will change. Involved in the

fall in those seats. Running through a bit of pain. -- hits. At the

front, what a shock this is. You could not get a price on Ayana not

winning this 5000 metres. She was the red, red, red hot favourite to

win. All of the talk was about which you break the world record? This is

a mirror image of what happened in the World Championships last year.

It was Ayana who took over from the prerace favourite, and now it is

Cheruiyot who is looking good, looking strong. This will be a very

popular win. Cheruiyot has won world titles at 5000 metres and 10,000

metres. She has never won an Olympic gold. She took a couple of years out

to start a family. She has come back bigger and stronger than ever. At

the beginning of the season, she was being beaten by the other Kenyans,

message Renault, Hellen Onsando Obiri, but now she is coming down

the home straight -- Mercy Cherono. And Cheruiyot of Kenya will become

the Olympic champions of 5000 metres. Gold for Kenya! A big shock.

Silver for Kenya, and Ayana, she has to settle for the bronze behind

Hellen Onsando Obiri. Cheruiyot is one of the great runners in the

cross-country, advocate that. A punch of the fist for that. Eilish

McColgan, as ever, trying her hardest, trying her best. Cheruiyot

has gone through some injury problems in the last two years. With

up to the 5000 metres from the steeplechase. Did really well to

make it to the final. Fighting all the way to the line. She has done

herself pad at the Olympic Games. Eilish McColgan just outside --

proud. Well done to her. One thing you never do in athletics, and I

think I might have done it in a race, is say there is only one

result. We all expected Ayana to win. It does prove that the 10,000

metres took a lot more out of her than people thought. They all said

that was way too easy. It obviously wasn't. It obviously heard. She

could not maintain it tonight. That is right, Steve. The thing about

distance running, she ran a 65 second in the middle of the race.

She followed it up with a 67. That was tough. Really tough. It was

going to close to her limit. But Cheruiyot did not go without, but

Vivian Cheruiyot ran a 65 second on the last lap. If you have a choice

we run the fastest lap, it is the last butt. There goes Vivian

Cheruiyot. -- last lap. It could not go to a better winner then Vivian

Cheruiyot. Well done. She can celebrate. Kenya consolidate. And

the crowd in the stadium can celebrate tonight -- Kenya can sell

right. Back to this pole vault competition.

McCarney has a clean sheet so far. No one yet has gone clear of this

new height of 480. This will take the lead. -- McCartney. She does.

McCartney, well, her first senior major championship. Steve Rippon on

the left there, based in on UK for ages. McCartney can't believe it.

That goes into the lead. Look at this. A comfortable clearance as

well. Bradshaw has knocked it off once and is in bronze medal position

as it stands. But what's more jumpers to come. -- lots. That will

go down very well indeed in Kenya. None of them have made the 5000

metre final before a national embarrassment. The women are

upholding their reputation. They won the steeplechase. David Rudisha will

stop but Vivian Cheruiyot, a new Olympic record as well, 14 26. But

that was a great run. She never gave up. She was running a while the

silver, but kept going at a good pace, and Ayana faulted. There she

goes. Vivian Cheruiyot go straight past Ayana. She accelerated as you

went past, which was crucial. Ayana was struggling. She had done too

much and where to hide. Vivian Cheruiyot wet with the group and at

times follow the leader -- worked too hard. Every time she goes to a

tepid ship, she wins a medal. There is Vivian Cheruiyot, the new

champion. Silver in the 10,000 metres, gold in the 5000 metres. A

beautiful smile. Arms aloft. A fantastic victory for a great

athlete. Silver and gold, you can't do much better than that. That will

be a very, very popular win in the world of endurance running. Vivian

Cheruiyot is finally an Olympic champion.

A new Olympic record. McColgan finished in 13th place. She did very

well to make this Olympic final. Stefanidi, second attempt, 4.80,

that is a significant jump for Stefanidi. There is the event

leader, McCartney. Stefanidi, has been the most

consistent by far. Across the circuit, this summer. The Greek

athlete goes into second place with that jump, pushes Bradshaw down to

fourth. Bradshaw, can she make that clearance? Oh, just flowed into

that, may have changed up polls, it looks like it is not recalling the

same -- recoiling the same as it was at the lower heights. Look at the

energy into that poll, and then getting back as she turned upside

down, did not extend the upperbody, was not able to get on top of that

poll and use the recoil as effectively. Effectively, the time

was off, in simple terms. Sandi Morris, also her second attempt,

4.80. Made that look easy. It was a classy jump from the American. So

then. Sandi Morris with that clearance, goes into third place.

Bradshaw not clear of this height yet. Three athletes have gone clear,

so Bradshaw is going to have two improved on her last attempt, as we

see Alana Boyd, one of the oldest in the competition, have her second

attempt at 4.80. Oh, what a jump from the Australian! Gave it a feral

-- fair old rattle. Good technique, that, get back and gets that recoil

that I was talking about, that Bradshaw did not get. That is the

difference, a second time clearance. So four athletes have gone clear of

this height of 4.80. Holly Bradshaw, Scott Simson, the coach, looking on.

They'll have worked so hard for this. She is looking for his nod,

quite often the coaches call when the wind is right, there is none to

speak of here in the Olympic Stadium. The third time of asking,

this is to stay in the competition. It is better, it is close, but no.

It was her best attempt of the three. The coach can't believe it.

But he knows how close that was. Bradshaw appreciative of the

support. Look at that, she was over. Went at it sideways on that one.

Disappointment. It has come up on the system that Holly Bradshaw is in

fifth place, we have seen athletes go in the past from that position,

it placed her best finish in the global championships, 64 years ago

sixth four years ago. That was close the Bradshaw. Her competition all

over. Huge disappointment for Holly Bradshaw. She is just taking it all

in and working out that she was so close to a medal of some description

there. A slight improvement on the position, from a few years ago, but

obviously she will be devastated. Bitterly devastated, she has worked

so hard in the last few years to get to this situation, she had a

fantastic qualifying, she looked really good, and that the margin of

foul, not clearing that high, seem to be gutted. Took some time out to

work on her fitness, had some stress fractures in her back, was great to

have her back in the sport because she had such unfinished business in

this event. Bitterly disappointed. This is not a happy coach. Scott

Simson, they lived through every moment, don't they, coaches. They

live the high times and the load times -- low times. They do live

through so much with you, and the stress of watching somebody compete

is much greater than the stress of actually competing out there,

because when you are competing in the arena, you know what you are

feeling and how much you have left, and what is feeling good and not

feeling good. They just have to guess. I think he just knew how

close she was, and that she had that jump in her tonight, and she knew

that as well, and you can see that in the disappointment there, because

she was capable of getting it right. Holly Bradshaw finishes fifth at her

second Olympic Games, she is still young, there is plenty of time to

get things right of the World Championships in London, let's get

active is four x 400, we have not had anything more to explain what

has happened, but the picture is beginning to get a little bit

clearer that maybe it is to do with the handover between Matthew Hudson

Smith and Martyn Rooney, and when you are put in position a certain

point on the lap but you have to stay in a position to receive the

baton. And in terms of Matthew Hudson Smith, he changed position

and their four Martyn Rooney appeared to be in the wrong

position, when it actually was not his fault. Matthew Hudson Smith was

no longer in this position, and Martyn Rooney was... It would be

Martyn Rooney's fault if he moved from the position he was put in...

If he did not move he was not in violation. That is what we do not

know, if he moved when he was put in position. But have a look at Matthew

Hudson Smith's second leg. This was a fantastic leg. Hats off to Matthew

Hudson Smith. Again, we think that this, coming off, was where the

violation took place. Once Matthew Hudson Smith, we need to see where

he is at 200, he is about 150 now, here he is now in first position, if

the official places Martyn Rooney in first based on where he is at 200,

he would place him in the first position, because Matthew Hudson

Smith was winning by that point. Now we are coming up on 100 metres to

go, at this point Matthew Hudson Smith is in second place, and if

they put Martyn Rooney in second position, he would need to stay

there, if he then moved back that would be the violation. We don't

know what happened, we can't see that full up from the shot that we

saw the back of all the guys ready to receive, nobody appeared to have

just moved, they appeared to be very much ready and waiting. Nobody

appears to have moved, but when you... Martyn has run the last leg

so many times that he would have known that once they get to the 200

metre mark you are not allowed to move. And so he would have been set.

That is what I am not quite sure of, because we do this in the US in

college or the time, coaches will tell you, don't move, because

instinctively what you do is, " oh my gosh, I'm first, I want to get

back into first place." Instinctively you want to be on the

side if your guy is... But he didn't clear because they were still there.

There was a time when you used to be able to jostle for position, but

they stopped that, and this is the new ruling. They have to be fixed,

they have to wait, regardless of if Matthew Hudson Smith went back to

sixth, at 200 metres, here he is receiving his bat on, Williams was

in fourth place when it was the 200. And he has not moved to any of the

higher positions. That is the perfect illustration of it. I think

it is an error from the officials, but I know we do have to wait,

but... All kinds of conspiracy theories are abounding, it was one

of the team that will benefit from this is Brazil, their quartet would

be into the final, and Twitter is awash with the kinds of conspiracy

theories that this is some kind of greater force at play here. But if,

as we think, it is a simple mistake, it is something that can be quite

clearly sorted out, because it has all been... There will absolutely be

an appeal by the British team, we will find out, I have not been

involved in some of speculation as I have over the past 20 minutes, it is

just tremendous amount of speculation. We just need to wait

and see what happens. There will be some more discussion about this, and

there is combat a very different kind, potentially a golden kind,

Italo Muhamed is going for gold -- Muhammad, the bronze medallist at

London 2012 is going for a leather gold very shortly. This is his story

so far. It is the start that great Britain would have wanted. 3-point

brickie to the head. So feisty from Muhamed, attacking. Steven Lopez

against Lutalo Muhammad, this is for a spot in Ely began semi-final.

Should -- in dealing big games semi-final. -- in the Olympic Games.

What a game plan and execution. The semi-final, Lutalo Muhammad... And

big bronze for Mohamed in London -- Muhamed. Lutalo Muhammad in the

final, he has gone further than the last Olympic Games, that was

brilliant. He has a fantastic smile, let's hope he is smiling very

shortly, it could be Great Britain's 25th of metal, it is at that Carioca

arena, Gold yesterday evening when Jade Jones struck gold, no pressure.

Pressure is something that Lutalo Muhammad survives on. Against all

the pressure that he faced going into those games in London on many

people thought it should have been the then world number one who should

have been picked, he put all of that to one side, all the abuse he got

ahead of those games, he went on to win a medal for Great Britain.

Outside the top five world rankings, he has turned it on this week, at

this event, the elliptic champion, an impressive win to get through to

the final and he wants to carry that on. Is that summing that has

impressed you, you have been following Lutalo Muhammad since

2012, is that something that has really impressed you, the way he has

bounced back? It was a defining moment for him. Prior to that, not

many people had known a great deal about him, and from a character

perspective, he was so tough, it was not his fault, all this controversy

-- controversy, he was on the point of going to the Court of arbitration

for sport, he got all that abuse, he got the bronze medal, and since then

he is trying to move the sport on. He is a very confident character, he

walks out on the arena, he is proud to represent Great he wants to get

out there, and get the crowd on side. As you can hear at the moment

there are various voices creeping in, to my left them the Koreans are

going on little crazy right now because they have just won an

Olympic gold, and tae kwon do hails from South Korea. A little bit

earlier today they were backing the Korean fighter who beat the German

in the finals, and he wants to win over the Brazilian fans here. The

world under three, the African champion, this is a tough fight for

Lutalo Muhammad. Cisse has won both of their matches, quite

convincingly. This is far from straightforward, and a bit of tae

kwon do symmetry, Jade Jones one Great Britain's 25th in London in

2012, it would be Lutalo Muhammad winning Great Britain's 25th

tonight. The women are coming out for the

four times 100 metre final. You have just missed the girls being

introduced. They do a kind of Quartet return. At Beijing, the USA

today Charlie's Angels montage, which left the rest of the world

standing. A teddy bear could live up to that. I was just looking down and

did not see much action -- I don't think they could. Last time was

pretty special. Here come the Brits. They have definitely improved on

last year. Some kind of choreography going on. That was a little bit

better. I thought that was great. Simple and clean. Andrew Carter will

be calling this. I'm sure he would like to commentate on the routines.

I would love to! Germany had their hands in air, just didn't care.

Nigeria have gone for that as well. Great Britain were quite practised.

Canada, what are they up to? One of those as well. Excellent. And the

USA, we had talks of them doing Charlie's Angels, they were

tremendously impressive in their choreography in the Beijing World

Championships. We will also be disappointed. But it is business as

usual for the United States. Serious stuff tonight. The United States, in

here courtesy of a sultry time trial. We will talk more about that

in a moment -- solitary. They have the worst blame because they had to

come through a time trial after initially being disqualified. That

was for dropping the baton. There is Dina Asher-Smith, part of this

polished Quartet. Run well in the heats the second fastest British

time ever. So it is Philip, Henry, and Daryll Neita on the anchor leg.

Perhaps a changeover from Philip to Henry was a bit side-by-side in the

heat. But there is Daryll Neita, who will bring Great Britain and

Northern Ireland home. Great Britain and Northern Ireland have not won a

medal in this event since the Los Angeles games in 1994, a bronze

medal there. The faster various four times 100 to come in just a few

minutes. -- fast and furious. Ekaterini Stefanidi at the bar, 485.

She has knocked it over once. Second attempt. That is how they do it.

Consistency told, 485, second clearance. Any. -- for Stefanidi.

This goes into the lead. Great clearance. So the women four times

100 metre final. Ukraine in lane eight. Trinidad Tobago, three out

of four completed in London. Jamaica, Williams leads the map.

Thompson comes in at lane two. Does not get the glory leg, perhaps. Asha

Philip, carrying the hopes of great Britain and Northern Ireland. Look

out for this Quartet, from Germany. The fastest time in Mannheim just

weeks ago. Nigeria not as strong as recent seasons. Not at her best on

the second leg. Canada, and the United States. World record setters

in London on their way to the gold medal. Gold in the long jump, this

one. Asha Philip will lead out Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The

only big title in this event has been spread over the Bahamas,

Jamaica, Russia and the United States in the last four in the

games. Lane one for the United States because of the problems in

qualifying. Canada, and Amsterdam, 1928, the last time it is the one

from that lane. -- has been won. A lot of noise in the stadium as the

pole vault continues, but the way they go. The United States in lane

one. Jamaica in lane six. Great Britain just inside looking for the

changeover. It is strong from Philip to Henry. Germany are looking quick.

Great Britain and Northern Ireland in a strong position. Jamaica in the

lead. Dina Asher-Smith has it now. United States looking very quick

now. Around the bend they come. Gardner and your time. The United

States leads. Jamaica in second. Great Britain in there. But the

United States running for gold. Humphreys a surprise the silver. The

United States have it. 41.02, blisteringly quick. She brings them

home for gold. Jamaica to be silver. And Great Britain have the bronze

medal! First medal in this event since 1984. But number one, they

say, and they are number one, the United States. The celebrations for

Great Britain and Northern Ireland, a new record. A new British record

has taken them to that bronze medal. What a run from them. Realistically,

you are always going to struggle to keep up with the United States and

Jamaica, but that was a wonderful run. The most important thing, the

real unity they showed together. Very familiar with each other. They

know all of the ins and outs, where they will be, how that will drive

out of the start position. This will always be brilliant and crucial for

them to get what they got. They have done that well. The United States

did all the damage done the back straight. Phillips held Thompson so

well and gave a great baton changeover and that is why they won

the title. Look what it means to Desiree Henry. Tears streaming down

her face. We will have a look at the whole race. Again, we like to look

at the baton changes and see if there was anywhere else could have

been improved. I'm not sure they could have been for Great Britain

and Northern Ireland. A national record for that bronze medal. That

is what it means. Behind the United States and Jamaica. There will

always be far and away. A bronze medal is a great achievement here.

One of the best things about this, the oldest person in their team,

she's 25. 25 years old, Phillips. Apart from that, Henry, takes the

baton here and runs their well against Thomson, she's just 20. She

passes the baton on to Dina Asher-Smith, who is 20! She runs a

storming racier. -- race here. She has an Olympic champion outside her.

Great job. Heading the baton on, to a 19-year-old. They have managed to

get an Olympic bronze medal. A brilliant performance by them. In

the inside lane, she was never going to let anyone pass. Not making any

difference in that lane. Not too far from their own record they set in

London. Price moving away from Danny Anita. Those are the one, two,

three. United States take it again. Is with the strength of Thompson and

price, they have the silver, Jamaica. And Great Britain holding

off Germany. And you will hear from the British quartet shortly, but now

the tae kwon do. More reaction on that historic

bronze medal shortly. Let's take you straight to the tae kwon do.

The Olympic rings high on the rafter, the two will be highest on

the podium? Lutalo Muhammad, the 25-year-old from Walthamstow in

London. His father got him into the sport. Started when he was three

years of age. He finished third in London and is guaranteed to do

better here. Standing in the way of gold, fairly on the march, Cheick

Sallah Cisse. He is from the Ivory Coast. 22 years old. He takes the

centrestage already. In terms of head-to-heads, the men from the

Ivory Coast is leading 2-0 against Lutalo Muhammad. Will it be revenge?

Lutalo Muhammad in blue, Cheick Sallah Cisse from the Ivory Coast is

in red. Stephen Jennings, the British trade,

some final words of encouragement. A massive occasion, first time in a

major final, an Olympic final. He will want to get revenge. Cheick

Sallah Cisse 2-0 at the moment, but what a time to pull it back. Will it

be the time for Cheick Sallah Cisse or will it be time for the men in

blue, Lutalo Muhammad? Fairly respectful fighter. The centre

referee for this gold medal contest, the men's 80 kg welterweight. This

one for gold. Cheick Sallah Cisse in red, and Lutalo Muhammad puts his

opponent on his back straightaway. That'll be handy. Two of those will

see a point added to the British athlete. Cheick Sallah Cisse just

checking out the distance. Slightly beat all of the two. Standing up at

six foot four -- the taller. Millimetres can make the difference

in this battle. Straightaway, great atmosphere and a good start from

Lutalo Muhammad. There is strong, wasn't it? Knocked him off his feet.

-- very strong. It will be a point against, but he good and strong

start there. Good strong punch from Cheick Sallah Cisse. You heard the

punch, you could hear the cry as well. Lutalo Muhammad is showing

great confidence and composure here. Cheick Sallah Cisse had the crowd on

his side at the start. Lutalo Muhammad doing well just to subdue

things here. Patience is a virtue, and that punch almost brooding

pivotal bear. -- proving pivotal bear. An engaging battle so far.

Yes, engaging and a little bit tactical here. They are trying to

feel each other out. They don't want to make mistakes, you can see that.

Over reaching a little bit with the punch. Holding the lead on the

inside, and the referee sees it. -- leg. Nothing to choose between them.

In an open stance, clashing. Tries a punch again. All the time going

through with the punch. Not enough force. Not enough accuracy or force

to get through that long leg of the six foot four Ivory Coast men. A

headshot from Lutalo Muhammad landing over, all lending on the

head. Three point two the good with 60 seconds. What a time to get three

points. Just waiting there. It was like he stretched over. Totally

agree with that. Tactical from Lutalo Muhammad. Almost sneaks

another one in there. He invited the back leg kick and snuck upstairs for

the 3-point shot. An excellent opening salvo here.

The crowd are building atmosphere at the arena. In downtown Rio for the

Olympic tae kwon do. Looking good at the moment. We reached towards the

dying embers of this first round. Lutalo Muhammad, what a wonder. The

him. A great start for him. Wonder what the coaching staff will say to

him. -- what a wonderful start for him.

Stephen Jennings doing some advice there, likewise the courage from the

Ivory Coast. That is the one that caught his jaw. A key to the face is

three points. -- coach. A double kick, and one way then the other.

Great change of direction. Direction of the match could swing on that

one. They have obviously studied Cheick

Sallah Cisse, the British team. Likewise team Ivory Coast, this one

a real battle. The under 80 kg gold medal contest, Lutalo Muhammad of

Great Britain against Cheick Sallah Cisse, the taller man. Slightly

further back. Lutalo Muhammad go straight for it. Very aggressive

start. He is here to win and determined not just to defend. He

has been trying to get past that front leg. That front leg of Cheick

Sallah Cisse. When he springs of the back leg, sometimes, that is how he

scores. With that headshot. Exactly. It is that open stance, a little

shot their from the men from the Ivory Coast. Almost scoring, so
