Lobbyist medal ceremony at the games, the hockey ceremony, all 16 | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
players getting a memento, beginning with Maddie Hinch, the goalkeeper, | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
who capped the medal hopes alive for Great Britain throughout the | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
tournament, stretching all the way along the line to Nicola White who | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
scored their third goal tonight to bring it Great Britain level, the | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
first goal from Lily Owsley got things going and then it was nip and | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
tuck all the way, two goals from Kitty Van Male put the Netherlands | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
in front and then the third goal from Nicola White took us to the end | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
of normal time and the drama of a penalty shoot out, 70s -- Nicola | :01:41. | :01:46. | |

Britain's 24th gold medal of these Rio Olympic Games. Ladies and | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
gentlemen, the anthem of Great Britain! | :02:11. | :02:24. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Hockey history made by the Great Britain | :02:25. | :03:06. | |
team, they are the Olympic champions for 2016. CLARE BALDING: Wonderful | :03:07. | :03:16. | |
scenes, Great Britain win the gold medal following a penalty shoot out | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
against the Netherlands, the Netherlands take silver and Germany | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
take the bronze medal and we will get further reaction from the team | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
members of that squad including the captain, Helen Richardson-Walsh. It | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
was her final match in charge. She retires from international hockey | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
after this and there is no better way to do that than as an Olympic | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
champion. More to come from the hockey, but then we will be rounded | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
up the best of the action today because it has been a memorable in | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Rio and although it is my time and I know it is at home as well, it is | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
the story you will want to see again. It was the last day of | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
equestrian action. A gold medal from Charlotte Dujardin and a gold medal | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
for the team into such, no team medal at all for the show jumpers, | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
they did not make it to the final but they had in the final round of | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
show-jumping and Lee McCann study can tell us what happened. Nick | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Skelton has been to seven Olympic Games, his dream was to win an | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
individual goal but sometimes it seems like the odds were stacked | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
against him. A neck injury forced him to retire, he came back and came | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
so close, but still gold evaded him. In 2012 he and Tim to part of the | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
team but then his horse was injured. He worked hard to get Big Star back | :04:51. | :05:00. | |
for Rio -- Big Star. Although it did not quite happen for Ben Maher, Nick | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Skelton was the first rider to record a clear round but he was not | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
the only one. 13 riders in total went around this tricky course and | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
going into the second round this afternoon, Nick Skelton needed to | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
deliver a game to have any chance of a medal. The tension is really | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
building. Now, can Nick Skelton and do what he has always felt this | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
horse is capable of, when an individual medal at the Olympic | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
Games? Just a little rattle their four Nick Skelton, go on, motor on. | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
He has done it! The first of 13 clears and makes it a double. Do not | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
get overexcited. I am overexcited. Got this one slightly wrong. Have to | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
keep moving. One by one, they bite the dust. The Olympic gold medal is | :06:02. | :06:15. | |
going to be a time to jump on. He is the time jump off for the medals. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
Another one bites the darkest. I'm getting even more excited. Ken | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Farrington does touch it but it is clear comfortably inside the time. | :06:27. | :06:38. | |
Sweden is in the party. It is sex. You will have no fingernails left at | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
home. -- six. He will have to put his neck on the line. Still six | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
riders in a tense jump off, everyone was against the clock as well as the | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
fences to determine medal positions and once again Nick Skelton was | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
first to go. What drama have we ahead, it is a difficult task, do | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
not take it for granted, there are some good horses and riders and | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
three will be unlucky. The fact that he is first to go might be an | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
advantage, he has never been one to take it slowly. He has got to, | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
surely, to make a target for the rest which makes them under | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
pressure. It has always suited him to go first. He likes to get out | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
there, do his round and he will try and put the pressure on. He has to | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
go for it. That is the team manager there. Here we go for the gold | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
medal, Nick Skelton in the job of against the clock. -- jump off. From | :07:45. | :07:58. | |
the second fence, back to the vertical, inside turn and now the | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
double, triple Bart going in. Brilliantly over that, we will take | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
a time check. Over in 28.8. He has to turn back to this vertical. One | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
left to go. Coming up to the last. Is it enough? 42.82. That is a great | :08:26. | :08:38. | |
start. 42.82, the rest will have to go for it. Absolutely the perfect | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
tactical round, now the pressure is on the other riders. Next Ed was | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
Steve Gird out. Nick Skelton still have the advantage. It was a similar | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
story for the next contender and Ken Farrington. Two to go. As it stands | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
at the moment, we have definitely got a medal to take home from showed | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
jumping. Get the champagne on ice. Peder Fredricson for Sweden, he has | :09:15. | :09:27. | |
been as consistent as anyone. Eric Lamaze is the last ago. They are | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
there because they have won the right to be the last in the time | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
jump off. He said off very quickly indeed. Nick Skelton was first to | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
go, clear in 42.82. He is a quick rider, Peder Fredricson, he takes | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
the forward rhythm everywhere, he is motoring, he is still clear. We will | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
take a time check, 28.8, a little bit quicker perhaps, it is close, | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
very close. This turn is absolutely crucial. Just the last, time to | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
beat, 42.82, but he is not going to do it, just a little bit slower, | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
Nick Skelton is still in gold medal position. 43.35. How much more of | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
this can we take? Nick Skelton was first to go, he set the standard, he | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
is definitely going to get the silver medal but the last man to go | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
is one of the fastest riders in the world and he has done it all before. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
This horse sees him in with a real possibility but Nick Skelton has | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
said such a good target, repeat again, that time, 42.82. Eric | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
Lamaze, Canada, going for gold. Just went a bit wider into the second | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
fence, very tight here. And again, a little bit wider, he is taking a bit | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
of a pool into the double. Still clear, we will look at the time | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
check now. I think this is a bit quicker. Yes, he is really covering | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
the ground, galloping around this corner, flat out now. What a | :11:22. | :11:34. | |
competition! Four it is, for the record, 42.09. It means that Nick | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
Skelton and Big Star take the gold medal, the silver medal for Peder | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Fredricson and the bronze medal for a tampon. We all hoped and trained | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
that Big Star and pigs -- and Nick Skelton could do it -- Eric Lamaze. | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
What an extraordinary performance. So to the man, Olympic champion, | :12:07. | :12:18. | |
58-year-old Nick Skelton. He won the gold with Big Star. If ever a horse | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
have the right name, it is Big Star. He is the most amazing horse to | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
watch. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. And who can | :12:28. | :13:13. | |
blame him for a tear in the eye? Such a moving moment. He was amazing | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
today, he has been incredible. It has been a hard road, because he has | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
not been sound, since the last competition he won was in 2013, | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
today was a good day to win, he is an incredible horse, he knows what | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
is going on, he knows when it is really important and you can write | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
him and put pressure on him and he takes it. We know that you have been | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
27 Olympic Games, please tell us there will be an eighth one. I do | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
think so. When he retires, I think I will stop as well. I do not think he | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
will make another one, he will be 17 men and I will be too old as well. | :13:59. | :14:16. | |
He is Britain's first ever individual show champion and he is | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
with me now. It is very emotional watching all of that back. It is a | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
lot better now. Amazing. Although this is your seventh official | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
Olympic Games. He went to the one in 1980. We were going to go to Moscow | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
and then we had an alternative games in Rotterdam and we had a team | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
silver there, we have been going for a few years. There are so many times | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
when you have gone into that arena when you have been jumping for big | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
money, what is different going in there for a gold medal? | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
This is the biggest gold you can begin your sport, it doesn't get any | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
better than that, to win that is amazing. I've been going a long, | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
long time, so many years, a few close calls, then finally, to do it | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
now, with him, he's been off for a couple of years as well. He hasn't | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
won a class, the last classy won was 2013 in the Grand Prix in Aachen. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
It's been three years. You went first in the jump off, when you rode | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
into the arena, where you nervous? Not really, I actually preferred to | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
go first because I know my horse well, I know what he can do. You | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
know, he's a fast horse, he's quick, a quick jumper, quick away from his | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
jumps. I thought if I just went sensible, not stupid fast, to make | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
sure I was clear, it would put the pressure on the other ones, which, | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
thankfully, it did. He jumped this great. The only one little moment I | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
had was after this fence, turning back, he locked up on me and ran | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
around the corner. I went to go quick and he thought, I'm away, let | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
me go. He's really hanging on. He came back pretty good. He's careful | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
so really not a risk. He's amazing, the horse deserves everything. | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
The honestly jumps like he has this brings, is extraordinary, the power | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
he's got. It seems to love jumping. When he comes into the arena he has | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
a Winnie. He's so placid and lazy at home, you have to drag him down to | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
the ring. He always calls when he goes in the ring, always. I think | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
it's to say, watch out, I'm coming. He loves to jump. Also with him, his | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
energy, he has such high energy level, he's still going now, you can | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
see him, still kicking and barking. He's a 13-year-old stallion, | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
generally speaking stallions can be a handful, is he a nice temperament? | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Really good temperament, really placid, anybody can lead him about, | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
really quiet. How much time have you had to talk to anybody back home, | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
have you talked to the boys, Dan and Harry? I tried to talk to Harry but | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
he was crying for half an hour, then I spoke to Dan and my sister. They | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
are really chuffed. He would know, we have a big operation at home with | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
the race and everything, the boys, they are really behind us. It's been | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
great. I'm not surprised they were crying. To see you step on that | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
podium, your bottom lip was wobbling a little bit. A little bit! A lot. | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
I'm glad it's over now. It is. You know, when you are as old as I am, | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
in that sport, you go all your life to try and do that, when it happens, | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
it's something else. You see that Flacco are coming here the national | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
anthem, who are the people in your head, what are the thoughts, the | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
things you are thinking of? You just think of everything, you flashback | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
from your childhood, your life, whatever, your mother, your father, | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
brothers, sisters, your children. Your girlfriend, your wife, | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
whatever, all goes back, you think, this has all been great. For a man | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
who has come back from a broken neck, retired and was told not to | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
ride again, who has had hip replacement, who has had dodgy | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
knees, it's not bad going. It's not bad really, I'm very lucky. A lot of | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
people have helped me big style on the way. Everybody knows who they | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
are. I really thank them, especially my groom, Mark he's been with me 31 | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
years, before Dan was born. He spent so much time with that horse you | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
wouldn't believe, eight hours a day, he only looks after the horse. | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
Massage is him, grooms him, put him in the spa, he's amazing. He said to | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
me Tokyo was out of the question, but you realise there are targets | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
you haven't yet reached, you are not the oldest Olympic champion by a | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
long way. There was a Japanese 70 years old. In the games. To be | :19:06. | :19:15. | |
really honest, and look at it, he'll be 70 in Tokyo, that's too much. It | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
might be the horse that stops you. -- he'll be 17, the horse. A suite | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
in the double shot running deer shooting was 72. At 6040 won gold. | :19:27. | :19:36. | |
Same guy. Joshua Milner was the last British gold medallist. At 61 years | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
and four days in 1908. I think you are pretty young actually. I'm glad | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
you think that. I'll be 63. You never know. He might have a new | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
lease of life or something. He deserves... He won't retire now, | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
he'll keep going, but when he does, I think I will. You'll pack it in. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
You've done your bit. We talk on this programme about getting | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
inspired. We're communicating to youngsters generally, but I think | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
you might be doing your bit for those, don't give up when you are | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
past 50, there is still so much to come. When you win you think you are | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
invincible, you think you can go on another ten years no problem. As a | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
gold medallist you have every right to feel invincible. A fabulous | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
achievement, I'm so chuffed for you, well done. | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
Let's hand you over for more on such a good day. | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
Because of the exciting end to the hockey we haven't got much time to | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
show you the highlights. Quite frankly, who cares? We're going to | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
start and bring the action from England's women later. We'll start | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
with a diving and show you what happened to Tom Daley. Who qualified | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
for Saturday's ten metre platform semifinal in some style. The bronze | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
medallist from London 2012 scored a personal best 571.8 five. The best | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
score of the day. He goes in the semifinal at 3pm on Saturday. If it | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
all goes well, he'll be in the final at 8:30pm. That was his best dive of | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
the day. Let's take you on to tae kwon do | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
coming yesterday was a great day for Britain with Jade Jones winning | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
gold. Today Lutalo Muhammad was hoping to deliver something similar. | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
He was going in the 80 kilograms category. | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
This is his first fight despite being hampered by injuries this | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
year. He swept aside the Australian 14-0. The solicitor had no answers | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
whatsoever as Mohammed eased into the quarterfinals. A perfect about | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
to start with. It's fair to say afterwards he was pretty pleased. | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
I'm loving it, the crowd is great, the energy is magnificent, let's | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
keep this going. LAUGHTER Not such good news for the world | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
number one, Aaron Crook. The Dorchester born fighter, | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
controversially overlooked the 2012, switched his allegiance to Moldova. | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
He lost to his opponent from Taipei, so he was out. Lutalo Muhammad's | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
campaign continued with a tough contest against the 37-year-old two | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
time Olympic champion Steven Lopez of the USA. Despite a couple of | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
scares he won 9-2. Two out of two. And the next up is the semifinals. | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Before we see that fight, here is a guide to how tae kwon do works with | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Lee McKenzie. Tae kwon do originates in a career. | :22:58. | :23:09. | |
Combines combat and self defence techniques. It became a fully | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
fledged Olympic sport in Sydney in 2000. Each contest has three rounds | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
of two minutes and a competitor can win on points or if their opponent | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
is unable to continue. Points are awarded for permitted, accurate and | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
powerful blows to the opponent's head or body. Attacks to the body | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
can be made using fist or foot. But an athlete can only use feet to | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
strike the area above the collar bone. Punches to the head and | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
attacks to the spine are not allowed. The only techniques | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
permitted our kicks where the athlete uses the area of the foot | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
below the ankle and punches where the athlete uses the knuckle part of | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
a tightly clenched fist. Scoring differs depending on where or how an | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
athlete has attacked. One point awarded for a valid attack to the | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
body protector but if the attack is a turning or reverse skip to the | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
body, it's worth three. An athlete receives three points for a legal | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
kick to the head. If it's a turning kick, it achieves the maximum four | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
points. At the end of three rounds the competitor with the most points | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
wins the match but in the event of a tie a golden point over time round | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
is held, the first to register a point wins the contest. The tala | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
Mohammed walked out against Beigi Harchegani knowing a win would | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
guarantee him gold or silver. We can pick up the contest at the start of | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
the second round after a scoreless first. John Cullen and Neil Adams | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
come and take. -- commentate. A massive mountain of an opponent | :24:37. | :24:46. | |
here, Beigi Harchegani, standing six feet six. Those men just leaning | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
back. This one yet to take light as a contest. | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
There was the first point on the board for Mohammed, a little push | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
fit underneath the guard. That will be very helpful. A good start. How | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
often have we seen that score? The simple kick, straightforward. And | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
right on target. Doing really well to stay in the ring, Lutalo | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
Muhammad. Reeling and rocking, but staying in the Carioca Arena 2 is | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
the can he stay on the song here? One point two the go. Two kyong-gos, | :25:29. | :25:42. | |
hang in there. Good defence from Lutalo Muhammad, reducing the | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
target. Harchegani having lots to look at here. This tempo sitting the | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
British fighter here. From Walthamstow. He's doing really well | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
to keep this tempo. Harchegani coming forward a bit more now, the | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
referee having a close look. It will be a kyong-go for holding the leg. | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
Lutalo Muhammad just questioning that momentarily. Get his focus | :26:10. | :26:10. | |
back. That's it, isn't it, he's just | :26:11. | :26:20. | |
waiting. Waiting that little bit too long, the referee said he wants more | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
action. Muhammad just waiting. Scoring with that wonderful | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
headshot. His patience pays off. Precision firing into the face there | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
of Beigi Harchegani. A 3-point lead. Perfect timing. Perfect, just | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
hanging off there and waiting for the Azeri to come in. Almost scoring | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
with another chop kick as a response to the back kick. Lutalo Muhammad's | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
technique and timing, doing really well, but it's Harchegani that | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
flicks one around the back. Are we going to see a kyong-go? There looks | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
to be some holding there. And that headshot has been invalidated. If | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
you hold and kicked to the face, it doesn't count. No video replay | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
needed. Kyong-go given. It has given Lutalo Muhammad a very handy four | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
point lead. This is the semifinal in the men's under 80 kilograms | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
grouping. Lutalo Muhammad of Great Britain against Beigi Harchegani of | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
Azerbaijan. The Azeri is that all of the two. The big gap in favour of | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
the Brit, four points in front. The virtue of that flexibility, tries | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
again, with a flick to the head. Tense times. Olympic final at stake. | :27:46. | :27:54. | |
Do you attack, do you defend? He takes a kyong-go. He takes a | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
kyong-go because he closed that down. He didn't want to be there for | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
the reverse kick. 5-2 now. Little push kick from Harchegani. The space | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
open. He capitalised. Tries with a little hook kick to the body there. | :28:10. | :28:20. | |
We can just about hear Steve Jennings the British team coach | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
advising to go higher with that push kick to try and close the gap. | :28:26. | :28:32. | |
Almost closing the gap, Harchegani responds, from Muhammad. This one | :28:33. | :28:35. | |
going back and forward. It's a kyong-go for stepping out. 5-3, | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
Lutalo Muhammad having a conversation with Steve Jennings. He | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
felt there was a head kick. Really going for the head, Harchegani going | :28:46. | :28:53. | |
for the big points. We mentioned the importance of staying concentrated | :28:54. | :28:59. | |
and not just defending, Harchegani. Two points down, but there is a | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
kyong-go against Muhammad. Into the final minute. He is trying to close | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
the gap, Muhammad, I think he has to be careful. Because we seen it so | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
often in this last minute. Harchegani is going to come forward, | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
he's looking for the big points. Big points, but not much time left. In | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
which to do it. Lutalo Muhammad using the push kick, trying to | :29:26. | :29:28. | |
maintain this lead, goes with a headshot of his own. This tousled | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
affair will suit the British fighter. Breathing hard. Huge | :29:34. | :29:37. | |
pressure. Uncharted territory, Olympic bronze in London, can he go | :29:38. | :29:44. | |
one further here? Again, closing it up. 5- for now. He's closed the gap. | :29:45. | :29:54. | |
One more point to even it all up. The defensive tactics of Lutalo | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
Muhammad, will they pay off? Beigi Harchegani of Azerbaijan is one | :30:02. | :30:04. | |
points down. The Olympic Games final awaits. Tries with the head kick. | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
Lutalo Muhammad manages to seal the deal, perfect shot from him. | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
Response from Harchegani. It's all kicking off here. Ten seconds to go | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
in the third round. 11-7. Lutalo Muhammad of Great Britain on the | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
cusp of an Olympic Games final. Shifts around. The clock is ticking | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
down. Two seconds left. The kyong-go, he'll take it all-day... | :30:28. | :30:34. | |
Lutalo Muhammad is in the finals. Tremendous scenes here, picture | :30:35. | :30:44. | |
perfect performance. Lutalo Muhammad of Great Britain, tactically | :30:45. | :30:53. | |
perfect, the timing was spot on, patients, it is most certainly a | :30:54. | :30:59. | |
virtue. Tactical masterclass. Thank you. We had a great game plans. Me | :31:00. | :31:06. | |
and my coach. We executed it. I am so grateful that I have this | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
platform and opportunity, the Olympic final and I have got one | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
more step before I accomplish my goal. You must take so much | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
confidence into the final, you looked so powerful throughout the | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
round. I feel really good. We worked hard in Manchester at the academy, | :31:27. | :31:34. | |
the preparation, on many occasion, I wanted to stop, it was that hard. It | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
is nice to be rewarded with the fruits of my hard labour but it is a | :31:40. | :31:46. | |
team effort. You went further than London 2012. We are in the final | :31:47. | :31:52. | |
now. It is guaranteed silver, but who wants that. We can speak to Nick | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
Hope who has been interviewing Lutalo Muhammad and he is in the | :31:58. | :32:03. | |
arena. He had to put up with hate mail before 2012, it appears, when | :32:04. | :32:09. | |
you watch those interviews, he has really got something. I think he | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
learned a lot from that difficult experience that he went through. It | :32:15. | :32:19. | |
was the biggest story ever to hit tae kwon do -- tae kwon do, but he | :32:20. | :32:26. | |
never asked for all of that controversy. The hate mail and abuse | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
and even his parents being followed home from work by reporters, he | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
found that difficult but he then battled through and won that bronze | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
medal, he learned a lot of character and he has taken that through, the | :32:42. | :32:44. | |
last Olympia Einkaufszentrum years have not been easy, he has had | :32:45. | :32:52. | |
injuries. It takes when it really matters. There was a real battle to | :32:53. | :32:59. | |
get through today, there were some serious tests. In the second round | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
fights, he was up against Steven Lopez, the most legendary figure in | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
tae kwon do. A two time champion, got a bronze medal in Beijing, one | :33:11. | :33:15. | |
of the greatest fighters in the world and the crowd get behind him. | :33:16. | :33:19. | |
To come through that as comfortably as he did was incredible and in the | :33:20. | :33:26. | |
semi-finals he was up against the guy who worked out the one he | :33:27. | :33:29. | |
knocked out the number one and that was an incredible fight. An awful | :33:30. | :33:34. | |
lot of pressure. He has been lapping up the atmosphere. He is almost like | :33:35. | :33:41. | |
a boxer, trying to get them onside. He powered through the rounds. How | :33:42. | :33:47. | |
does the final look when he goes at 215 in the morning. He said about | :33:48. | :33:53. | |
getting the crowd onside, the man he is up against from the Ivory Coast, | :33:54. | :34:00. | |
had the onside, Cheick Sallah Cisse. He was up against a German in the | :34:01. | :34:03. | |
quarterfinals and if you remember the World Cup from 2004, the Germans | :34:04. | :34:10. | |
did well against the resilience. They decided to back an Ivory Coast | :34:11. | :34:14. | |
fighter. It will be interesting to see how the crowd reacts and Cheick | :34:15. | :34:19. | |
Sallah Cisse is the world number three. He would go into the final as | :34:20. | :34:33. | |
If you have been out all day and had only just arrived back, I need to | :34:34. | :34:39. | |
tell you it has been a historic day for British's women's sport. -- | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
British women's sport. | :34:45. | :34:48. |
