Day 15 BBC Four: 13.00-16.00 Olympics

COMMENTATOR: Raphael Silva of Brazil. Magnificent! Rafael Garcia

Thiago is the new Olympic champion. Michael Phelps's 23rd gold! Usain

Bolt wins it! The odyssey continues! The boy who ran on the streets of

Salvador has just being crowned an Olympic champion. Brazil with their

first gold medal, in beach volleyball. Gold for Brazil!

We're going to miss this place, aren't we? And I'm sure Rio is going

to miss the Olympic Games as well. It is that an ultimate day of Rio

2016 and last night we witnessed sporting immortality. The treble

treble is completed by Usain Bolt, legendary status secured. Good

afternoon everybody on David Dein here from the Olympic Park. Then

station or watching Usain Bolt in action once again, wasn't it? But he

wouldn't have done it without his 4x100 metres team, and may I just

say as it is my last show, how much of an honour it has been fronting

the programme and it wouldn't have been possible at all without the BBC

14, many of them back at base but come on, let's show off the team

here! Mark on sound, what a job he's done. Can't even hear him! Tim

Boucher, floor manager, what an absolute legend. Take the applause!

And Joe on the camera, are we in focus? Just about.

And my father, proud to be your son, love you, pops.

Talk of a parade in Manchester, get your tickets while they're hot,

people! David Dein, what have you got? It is almost time for the

women's golf to be concluded. Inbee Park is the leading lady. What can

Lydia Ko, the world number-1, and Great Britain's Charley Hull do? Tom

Daley is already a medallist from Rio 2016. Going it alone on the

ten-metre this afternoon. Can he had another moment on the podium here?

Tae kwon do has given Great Britain and two medals so far. It is their

turn of Bianca Walkden in the heavyweight category. What can she

do? And mountain biking kicks off down at the Deodoro arena radical

Park, we will be there for the start of the women's competition. So,

David Dein looks like this for you on BBC Four. Holding back the tears,

people! We have got the Gulf, Charley Hull will be trying to close

that gap on the leaders. Tom Daley will be in semifinal action in the

men's ten-metre platform at Maria Lenk Stadium. BBC One, what are you

looking like on David Dein? They are at the Lagoa Stadium. -- on day 15.

The canoe sprint. Later on, it's all about the Brownlees brothers -- it

was all about the Brownlee brothers a couple of days ago but now the

women will be going for the top honours. And the ladies are the ones

we are focusing on at the start of this programme, as the Gulf is

coming to its conclusion. South Korea's Inbee Park has led for the

last couple of rounds. Charley Hull looking to close the gap but

yesterday it was all about the world number-1 bagging a hole in one. It

was a memorable day three. When the wind hits the Marapendi

Reserve, it has blown for more than 7000 miles uninterrupted across the

Atlantic. That can cause bother or brilliance on the golf course. On

the eighth, a moment of magic. COMMENTATOR: This looks good, how

about that! A hole in one on the eighth. And for the first time in

her short but glittering career, 19-year-old world number one Lydia

Ko went the direct route too. My goodness! Lydia Ko has done it

again. She is on the charge, for sure. That, plus four birdies on the

front nine, catapulted Lydia Ko Arbre de Vie leaderboard. From

nowhere she is tied on nine under. I tried to stay calm and I think

shooting six under in these windy conditions, I camp myself in a good

position going into tomorrow. Lydia Ko shares her second place with

American Gerina Piller. While five birdies and a bogey for her

team-mate Stacy Lewis... Just rolled off the back of the green, not sure

how far. That proved rather frustrating. Also frustrated, Great

Britain's Catriona Matthew. A costly triple bogey at the 12th and her

Olympic challenge was over. The back nine was tough. I just put it

terribly on the front nine. -- I parted terribly. Seven time major

champion Inbee Park led from start to finish, but she wasn't without

her wobbles either. That is her third bogey of the day. Birdies and

five bogeys in her round showed what a topsy-turvy Castle this was

against the wind. Look at that. A 15 inch putt for birdie. Still come in

11 under is the score to beat. It was really tough out there. The wind

was really hard to judge. Having an opportunity tomorrow is huge. No

matter what the result is, I think I will challenge here tomorrow.

Britain's Charley Hull will be in the race. For a while it seemed like

was on her side. Wayward into the water on three. The ball

miraculously bounced out and onto the sand! But as the wind picked up,

control slipped away. At 5-under, she is six shots off the pace, but

Charley is not beaten yet. It's pretty windy and I'm just fixed

behind the lead. Watch out! -- just six behind the lead. Nothing like a

bit of fighting talk from Charley Hull, going into Dave four. She will

be looking to close the gap at the top of the leaderboard. It was a

very windy day down on Marapendi Reserve. Windies still or are the

conditions clearing up? It is blowing an absolute gale from the

moment we arrived here. Told by the forecast is that we are to expect

worse later, the rain blowing in. Luckily the organisers had foreseen

this and we have a tweak to the format of today, we have got split

tees. Up the field tee off on the tenth and played to the ninth. That

means the action should be done and dusted by about two o'clock our

time, 6pm in the UK. Hopefully all the players should be off the course

by the time the terrible wind blows in. We should be seeing the action

wrapped up by about two BN, 6pm UK time and that is when we should be

handing out the medals. What a scramble it will be for those medal

positions after the conditions yesterday blew it wide open. Leader

Inbee Park built up a four shot lead before the wind came yesterday but

then five bogeys pecked her back to 11-under, a lead of just two shots

over the world number-1, Lydia Ko from New Zealand, that hole-in-one

really helping her out. Gerina Piller is tied for second. Look at

the Koreans in there as well, we could see a Korean 1-2- three by the

end of the day. Charley Hull, don't rule her out yet. Mixed round for

you her yesterday, seven bogeys in her round saw her drift backwards to

5-under, now six shots off the lead. But she says she loves to play in

the wind and rain, so watch out for her today. In fact, before she came

out to Rio, she had eight round in the wind and rain with the BBC's

Naga Munchetty. So, we are at the 12th. We haven't picked the best of

days! Let's do it. So I don't need to be nervous about

being in the buggy with you? I haven't had an accident before! That

was a very good shot. I'm surprised! How many times a week do you play?

About four or five. That's pretty good to meet you play more than me!

Right, come on then. Ranked amongst the top 30 in the world and yet

still only 20 years old, Charley Hull has a chance of winning a medal

for Great Britain in the women's golf competition. How IQ looking

forward to the Olympics? I'm really looking forward to it, I think it's

going to be a lot of fun. It's just going to be a great experience. I

will be staying in the Olympic village, so it will be fun meeting

the other athletes and watching some other sports as well. I think she

might hit it in the water! My prediction is right! Splash! You

skimmed it as well. I'm worried that we don't have enough balls for

today. I would help you look for it but I don't want to get wet!

Al-Hasan been played at the Olympics for more than 100 years and while

there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the male golfers, it has

put the women off. I haven't been to South America before. I love being

British and English, so I'm really proud. Good shot. She says they

through gritted teeth! Nice one! To stand up on that podium with a

Gold Medal, can you imagine the atmosphere? Yeah, I think it will be

brilliant. I'm not going to think too far ahead but it is definitely

really exciting. You just take everything in your stride, don't

you? I do because at the end of the day it is another golf event. I just

love playing golf and it's just sport. I don't want to see any of

that at the Olympics! I halved with you! High-5!

I think Charley Hull is going to need some of the night and Teddy's

form to close at six shot gap on the leaders! -- some of Naga's form!

Inbee Park is the leader, she goes out last with Lydia Ko, the world

and one, and Gerina Piller, who had a great round yesterday. Came from

nowhere really, the American. Charley Hull teeing off at 1222 BM

UK time. She is with the Australian, Su Oh. She had a great round

yesterday, shooting a 66. Then there is the Korean duo in there, with the

superstar Shanshan Feng. Let's see how they got on on the first tee. We

have got Inbee Park teeing off first. 28 years old, seven time

major champion. Already in the LPGA Hall of Fame. An amazing crowd added

around the first tee to cheer on our leader Inbee Park as she went

around. The Koreans love their golf and great to see packed galleries

here on the final day. This is Lydia Ko, also in the final group, just 19

years old, the world and one. She is chasing down Inbee Park, just two

shots behind on 9-under par. Also on the course, a few groups

before that final pack, this Charley Hull, on 5-under. You she is on the

first not long ago. Charley Hull is looking steady at

the moment as she chases down a medal. She would dearly love to

finish on the podium. Let us head out to the live-action, with

Brendan, Alan, and Wayne she does not have the run that others have

had. She looks like she could make consecutive bogeys. Making her

charge up the leaderboard. Two birdies in her opening three holes.

A very good shot at five. putt, just a little more steam for

Su Oh, four under. Here is Larsson. Sticks it in close, very close.

Directly behind opinion. -- be pinned. That is the closest we have

had. It might be the shortest par-3 on a golf course, but it is the most

troublesome. Disses Lydia Ko -- this is Lydia Ko's shot.

There is a red line marking, so it is a hazard.

She will take a penalty drop here, she has two. Had it not been lying

with a Bush behind, she would have been allowed to play from the

hazard. She had three drops within two club

lengths from quid it entered the hazard. If the ball rolls back into

the hazard in all three, she will get the chance to play it from the

drops the third time. She will just want to get this official to

explain. It is going to roll back into the sand. Almost certainly. It

just needs to land between the pegs and then the official... There we

go. Pointing out where the ball dropped. A penalty drop at the 2nd.

Second shot for the Chinese number one. It is all great. Back to two. I

thinking be parkas going to play here before Lydia Ko. -- Inbee Park.

She's already on the LPGA Hall of Fame. And she won the Masters before

it became a major. This is a birdie putt for Inbee Park on the second.

A good rule. And a good read. As golfer, Inbee Park.

This is the third shot at five. It is a good chance of a birdie. She

has tucked it in very close. She missed a putt from even shorter

distance earlier in the round. She wants to make up for that here.

Charley Hull on the fourth for Great Britain. Superb shot. A long line of

powerful hitters to come out of Great Britain, Charley Hull. This

will be a fourth shot for Lydia Ko, after the penalty drop. This is for

par, otherwise she drops back. She may find herself in trouble at this

whole. This just opens up more daylight

between the chasers and leader, Inbee Park.

What a great effort! If she had saved from that, that would have

laid down the marker for any golfer insight. She got just about

everything right on that, just ran out of steam at the end. It was

tracking towards the whole. And that moment when you believe it is going

in. Look at the reaction. Is it, is it, is it?

This is a tough one. Piller, already a birdie at the opening hole. Going

for par at the 2nd. Not quite so accurate, so she starts the round

with consecutive bogeys. It is not the start she would have

wanted playing in the final pairing. She is now four shots adrift of

Inbee Park. But with this wind as it is, a lot of different permutations

can happen on this golf course. Bogey, bogey start for the American,

Piller. Inbee Park for her par, par start. Conditions like this will see

her home. The way the wind is playing up, I get the sense that no

one is getting to go particularly low. But Inbee Park plays quality

golf, makes it par at a very difficult second. She has come

through the second unscathed, and her playing partners have bogeys. A

birdie putt. She dropped a shot in the first, but she does not get a

shot back. The patter is just not working for her. --

this was for Eagle! It had a real chance!

And another birdie for Yang. Par on the second, and Inbee Park will be

well satisfied with that. The facial expression does not move much.

Fantastic concentration. APPLAUSE Safely over the water.

Remembered in the main's event, Henrik Stenson found the water here.

Indeed. The third round, wind in the face, and Henrik Stenson ended up

with the Silver Medal behind Justin Rose from England. Stacy Lewis is

going well. That is her third birdie of the round.

Lydia Koh. Somewhat to clear. 297 metres today. She's going with a

fairway metal. Down the right side of the fairway,

leaving herself a slightly longer second shot.

Azahara?Munoz will take that. 5-under for her. Back on third.

Piller representing USA, placed for a medal for United states. 160 years

ago Margaret Abbott won the golf tournament, and her mother Mary was

seventh. Stacy Lewis. This is for a birdie four Charley

Hull. After a very good tee shot, you want to convert it.

She has to settle for par, when it's easily could have been birdie. Up to

six. Brick Henderson. -- to Henderson. That is OK. 8-iron

for Yang. This is the fourth. It was not enough. That will be some shot

to get out of there. Right up against the face. Of all the greens,

the fourth is one of the most and relating difficult. You are really

tested on the greens of the par-3 hole is. It is the nuances, the

slopes, the final strip call away from the whole.

140 metres to the flag. This flag is 18 on, six on from the left. But

it's almost on a little crest towards the back left side of this

green. Looking to go directly at the flag and not too far-away. Failed to

check completely, and she will take that. -- but she will take that.

21 to the top of this slope, that is ten short... 76, top of that slope.

Yeah. It's going to spin left. I would pitch it going right.

Up there, the slope is kind of this way. Like 83? 82. 82? 83 is fine.

Just how technical the game of golf is! 83 is going to play like 77, 70

eight. All right? Just judging the wind conditions. She's got a marker,

as the two gentleman standing behind the green, one wearing yellow and

one wearing red. You can see them to the right of the pin. The gentleman

to the right is her line. She's aiming there, a shot of 83. She will

play it 83. And I think she will be fairly happy with that. Eight had

strong, but following wind. Now, Inbee Park. She stands over this

one. It has not had the best run of form -- she has not had the best run

of form in the Championship, the world number one. Wasn't able to try

to defend her Women's British Open title. Looking to get back to her

best. That's a very good effort. Up ahead, a little earlier, Shanshan

Feng on the par-3. 8-iron. Par-3 4th hole. Schuhen

Second shot at the par-4 3rd. Playing alongside Lydia Ko of New

Zealand. And indeed Inbee Park of Korea Republic. The ball slightly

below her feet. Just takes it out to the right, wants it to kick left and

feed down and check a little. That time a little unlucky not to get

much purchase. Stacy Lewis on six, for birdie. That's not moving much

at all, for the American. Well, she holds the low round of the

tournament. You could safely say she holds the course record for the

women here on this Olympic Golf Course. 65 from Lydia Ko. Yesterday.

With a hole-in-one. Inbee Park tucked in their at pin

high, probably about six feet for her birdie. Park, Ko and Piller in

this final grouping. Yes, Inbee Park has not put a foot wrong yet, to The

Open yogis for the American. That bogey for Lydia Ko at the 2nd.

Gerina Piller coming up a little short again with her second. Could

have done with a little run, but these greens really are receptive.

These fairways are in such beautiful condition. We're seeing the ball

consistently stopping and spinning. That is a great looking but. That

will make her feel a whole lot better about her first two holes.

She's pulled one shot back. She goes to third on her own. A tie for

second. Just slides it by. That is a par.

Earlier, this was Anna Nordqvist for a birdie at the par-5 5th hole. It's

got to sneak in that right door and it does, so a birdie for the Swede.

5-under now. Back to three and an important putt here for Lydia Ko.

Two major wins this year and a second-place as well. This putt

looks good, will it drop? You've got to be kidding me! Lydia Ko, that is

the second putt in succession that she has left agonisingly short while

it was tracking towards the hole. She needed that, but she keeps a

calm disposition. Lydia Ko and Gerina Piller tied for second. Just

a little too much. Just gave it to much and left it left of the hole.

Inbee Park, the closest of the three in this final group. With her second

shot. This for birdie, to get to 12-under par.

Solid, absolutely solid from Inbee Park. Wraps in a very authoritative

putt and now there are four shots between her, Lydia Ko and Gerina

Piller. Now, Yang for par at the 4th. Well,

that was a very good par because she had found the sand in front of the

bunker there, so she did well to get up and down. Up ahead on five.

Suzann Pettersen. From Norway, this for birdie. To get to 5-under. She

had a tournament of stops and starts, it's been a bit fragmented

for her. That will do! You just want to finish right over

that TV tower... Inbee Park, then. On the fourth.

8-iron. That is another great shot. She has

her rate so finely tuned for this final round. She leads by four, and

a very makeable birdie putt on all. Difficult to judge the distance when

you've got the wind behind you, as they do. Inbee Park, no concerns for

her. Just recently married, Inbee Park, as is Stacy Lewis. Stacy

Lewis's team-mate. Gerina Piller, relatively late

Bloomer on the LPGA Tour. Playing 140 metres today, but the

wind from behind. 8-iron. Shot. Two fine tee shots here on the

fourth. And now Lydia Ko, back at 8-under. Four adrift of Inbee Park.

Three outstanding T-shirts here on four. Lydia Ko needs something good

in her round, she needs to make something happen at the moment, the

teenage phenomenon. She looks relaxed and comfortable out on the

golf course. Su Oh of Australia now, third shot to the par four 5th hole.

She is four under. That is for birdie!

Shanshan Feng. Shanshan Feng is desperately trying to pull back the

shots that she dropped that the first. She's produced some great

putts -- great shots but the putts have not been dropping for her. She

will take that. Charley Hull is in the sand on five.

Third shot, to get out. That is a wonderful shot. That is a tap in

birdie, right there! Give her the four! Now, Stacy Lewis I think is

first to go here. Seventh Hull. Two Americans on this

front page of the leaderboard. -- hole.

A change of club to a 7-iron for Stacy Lewis.

She was asking for the ball to set. It just about does that. Back on the

fourth. Here, Inbee Park has done a couple

of good parts. Lydia Ko has left a couple on the lip. It is Inbee Park

to go first. Park leading by four. Needs to extend the advantage to

five. She has got it! This is the most

wonderful display from Inbee Park. If she makes -- she makes another

birdie and goes to 13-under par. Su Oh for her birdie. She will take

that. Gerina Piller lining up hours. Inbee

Park has already found her birdie with a sensational role, so she's

leading by five. Trying to cut the lead back to four. Gerina Piller

would prefer to get back to where she started today, 9-under.

A second at the par-5 4th Shanshan Feng. She just turned it a little

left of the green. Through the sprinkler head. That makes this shot

per Lydia Ko such a big shot in the context of this final round. The

birdie just sunk by Inbee Park. Lydia Ko is keeping tabs. She needs

this to drop. Oh, dear. I'm afraid it just slides by. She gave it more

of a role with this one. The last two work short. After the fourth

Hull, Inbee Park leads by five. -- hole. Agonising to see that go

past. Up to the 7th hole. Stacy Lewis for

the United States for birdie. As it stands, if you were out there

on that golf course looking at leaderboards, you would see she

would be playing for the bronze medal, because Inbee Park is five

shots clear, and she has put so few mistakes on the golf course. Leading

by five. On the fifth. Par-5. Inbee Park.

Very rarely does she get herself in trouble. Yes, she has gone down the

right side of the fairway, a good balance of swing -- deal of balance

in that's when. Gerina Piller. 8-under par. This is

the fifth, where they are very makeable birdie is.

Just a chance to set up an equal opportunity. Gerina Piller getting

some good run, and it is a good lie for her. Bogey, bogey, birdie, then

par at the 4th. That is a big drive. The power from the top sees her left

onto her toes ever so slightly, then follow through. She does not lose

balance, most importantly. Lydia Ko now.

Three DCT shots on the par-5 5th hole. -- three decent tea-macro

shots. It is beautiful to watch. 65 in round three.

Shanshan Feng from China. She wanted to get more, wanted to release it on

the green. First-ever Chinese player on the LPGA Tour.

Valenzuela. This is a really good kick. Goodness me! She has hit it

some distance. It is driveable, but only for the longest players. That

was a few moments ago, but this is live for the eagle putt.

She has lived in Switzerland since 2003. She gets an eagle at nine! The

first eagle of the day. What a great shot from the Swiss amateur, but she

is a long way off the pace because even though it is early days it

looks like Inbee Park is closing in on gold. She set out with the love

intent. -- with real intent. Charley Hull, she has managed to pick up a

birdie on the fifth, and has moved to 6-under, but she has a long way

under if she wants to challenge for the medals. It will take something

very special from Charley Hull if she is even to get a bronze. We will

keep across this and you can follow the golf on the Red Button, on the

BBC app and online. Back to you. Thank you. Hoping Charley Hull can

do something special in the last few hours of women's golf. Let us see

what is going on here that the Olympic Park, and just enjoy some of

these last moments. A family here enjoying having their picture taken.

Dad is having a bit of business trying to get the shot. You know

when the phone is a bit fiddly, but it looks like he has got it now! Do

you mind if I have one, just for me. Take a picture. Just for good

measure. Just for the memories. Thank you to you. Obrigada. My

Portuguese is getting better. We have badminton medals. Now it is the

main's competition. The bronze medal has already been decided in this

one. The other day we saw the two-time Olympic champion going down

in the semifinal, and unfortunately for him, that is two defeats for

him, and Viktor Axelsen went down by two games to one. Another medal

going in the way of Europe in the badminton, and my reporter tells me

that the man is learning Mandarin himself. Trying to improve his game

a before after his playing career, and be successful in the Far East.

Right now, here, Viktor Axelsen, bronze medallist in the world and no

bronze medallist here at real 2016. Lin Dan, possibly the end of an era.

Bronze medallist decided, what about the gold? Lee Ching Wei beat Lin Dan

in the semifinal. Now it is the number one seed against the number

two seed, this could be a real cracker. Can China add a Gold Medal

in the badminton? We're about to find out.

The men's singles final, the Olympic Gold Medal up for grabs.

And nerve are short, the defence coming off the frame of the racket.

A super angle. . Yesterday Lee Ching Wei started his final against Dan

Lin very nervous, but he came back in the end. Yes, he started slower.

He will be looking to take the attack when he gets the opportunity

and place pressure on Chen Long, especially moving forward to the

net. Well, I wasn't at the Asian

championships, but the last time I watched these two playing against

each other Lee Ching Wei really took the game to his opponent and played

an attacking style. That is what he needs to do, attack the front court,

taking opportunities to play pressure on Chen Long. Important to

take it early and high to the net, and follow through the net. Apply

the pressure. -- Lee Chong Wei. A great smash down

the line. He will definitely build his confidence. Nicely cut off.

That's very good play by the Malaysian. That's the sort of

attacking play and follow-up that I've seen previously win him matches

against Chen Long. Excellent work. That movement forward, anticipating,

it taking the opportunity to put the pressure on Chen Long. Nicely done.

Again, just stepping forward. Excellent work. Turning Chen Long

around. Playing backhand and then stepping forward. Nicely done by Lee

Chong Wei. Yeah. There is the power play again.

Nice movement to the back of the court. Getting right behind that

shuttle, Lee Chong Wei. Nicely done. We have got the number one and

number two seeds here contesting the final. The only one of the five

disciplines here is where that is the case.

Great movement. He's got such powerful legs. Look at this. Leaps

in the air. He got himself in position and by the time he was

landing, his body weight had been transferred and he was moving back

towards the centre of the court. Oh! Fantastic power play, there.

Wonderful power and placement on the smash. I like the variation. Some

crosscourt, some down the line. That one into the middle of his chest.

Good rally! CHEERING

Very, very well worked. By Chen Long. So typical, that rally. He

just absorbs everything that his opponent throws at him and then

suddenly, after the rally has been in progress for some considerable

time, suddenly you looks to attack. -- he looks to attack. It was

certainly wonderful court coverage. His ability to just keep getting it

back in play and then just a quick switch to attack... Beautifully

done. Forced to play the high backhand.

Missed it! Missed it. That's a pity. Worked the rally well. One of the

rare occasions when he was able to dictate the pace.

What a shot! Lee Chong Wei. Pleased with that and so he should be. Look

at that net tumble. Hit the top of the table and went over. How on

earth do you try and control that? You can't, is the answer.

That is well left. A little net roll again. Tied to the net to get that

error off Chen Long. The net coverage in that net battle is going

to be so important in this match. Whoever controls the net tends to

control the rallies. These players so good at retrieving the tactical

shots that frankly until you force the left through the net shot, there

isn't really the opportunity to play the winner. Or there is rarely the

opportunity. Apologises for the good fortune. But

a 4-point advantage to Lee Chong Wei here at the midpoint interval of

this opening game. Amazingly he has won 11 of the last 13 points,

because he was love four down, wasn't he?

Well, the Malaysian fans are always very colourful. Lots of banners.

Well, he appeared to be in control for most of the rally then, Lee

Chong Wei. Chen Long certainly has that

incredible ability to return shuttles from all parts of the

court, which, eventually, when you go for your shot, you overplay it

because he covers so much court so effectively.

Oh! My word. That is extraordinary. What a backhand from Chen Long.

Under real pressure. And there is virtually no backswing of the

racket. Take a look at this, as he plays this backhand. How does he

generate that power? Superb timing. He just hit that shot so crisply.

Fast and flat. That is well taken. But he is

challenging, instinctively, Chen Long. I thought that had landed in,

but we will wait for the instant review. Here we go. Oh no, that was

out! Difficult angle to see that from. The instant review system has

cameras looking straight down the line. I think that is a good

challenge, actually, from Chen Long. Here we go. Oh! It caught the line.

Well, a whisker. It was lovely play by Lee Chong Wei, really

anticipating taking it early and taking his chances.

Another challenge here. Second challenge in two rallies.

Very, very difficult. Instinctively I thought that was wide as he hit

it. This is why we need the instant review system. Yes, it was out. Good

call. So he has no challenges left in this opening game. No challenges

remaining, says the umpire. That has landed in, but it was

called out. In every rally we are having a challenge!

That is another good call by the line judge.

That is where he is dangerous, Chen Long. His opponent is scampering

back in court, and Chen Long moves back so quickly to be able to play

the attacking shots, that is when he pounces and gets him off-balance.

Nice movement back into the court, behind the shuttle. Nice net play.

Setting it up effectively. That looked nervous to me. That

block from Lee Chong Wei. It seemed to be in control -- he seemed to be

in control at 13-9, and all of a sudden Chen Long is back in it. He

certainly needs to maintain the confidence around the front court

and be able to play those shots tight to

To the net. Another from Lee Chong Wei, a definite sign he was trying

to inject some pace of movement. As well as pace of shot. With how our

leaky there. A 4-point deficit has been closed. They are level.

My goodness, that was close to going over.

Brilliant. And what courage after that previous rally, when he

attempted a shot on his forehand side, hit the top and fell back his

own side. This time that is perfect from his backhand side. Even with

Lee Chong Wei ready to pounce. Perfection.

How did Lee Chong Wei get away with that?

CHEERING More perfect net play from the World

Champion. That net game is so important, being

able to move forward and apply the pressure at the front court, playing

with control. Two wonderful points. Controlling the tumbles at the net.

For the first time since he had 4-3, Chen Long is in the lead.

That was the silver medallist from the 2003 World Championships, the

front row supporter. Chen Long was caught off balance,

expecting the high left from the Lee Chong Wei backhand. But Lee Chong

Wei played the perfect shot. The psychological game, look at that.

Looking straight at his opponent after the rally. This really is the

crucial stage of this opening game. 15-15.

Open up the court. Deep forehand first of all. Then the backhand net.

Then he thunders one down the forehand side again. A wonderful

injection of pace in the end. A powerful overhead. Stretching his

opponent, getting the open court, and a very nice put away.

Goodness. The defence from Chen Long is superb. But I think his defensive

shot may have been going wide. Lee Chong Wei was so early on to it that

he thought he could just play the simple one. Is this going wide? Yes,

it was. The mistake from Lee Chong Wei. That will give a psychological

boost to Chen Long. Brilliant.

CHEERING The former world champion is feeling

at the moment with his former team-mate.

Nine of the last 12 points going to Chen Long.

I do not believe that defence, that is fantastic. This is crucial. Chen

Long has found the net. Huge psychological difference between

17-18 or 16-19. That was very, very important.

He has made another mistake at the front of the court on his net play,

Lee Chong Wei. It is incredible, the coverage by Chen Long around the

court. He just keeps getting the shuttle backhand in play. -- back

and in play. Three errors at the front of the court in the last five

rallies. Two points on advantage and two

points away from the opening game, the number two seed, Chen Long.

Brilliant play from Chen Long! Vary, very early at the net. Wonderful --

and that wonderful rally has earned the world champion three-game point

opportunities. Forced to take the shuttle late, Lee Chong Wei.

It's gone wide. One game point squandered.

CHEERING Yes, second game point opportunity

is converted. By the number two seed, Chen Long. 21-18 confirms the

umpire. 35 minutes for that opening game. And it was those three errors

on the net play from Lee Chong Wei that cost him so dear. Confirmation

of the opening game for the world champion, Chen Long.

It was a gargantuan match that Lee Chong Wei played in the semifinal.

He looks a little bit tired. Two more games to come if he is to come

away with gold here in the Riocentro arena. Let's have a quick look and

see what's going on on day 12 of -- David Dein.

-- date 15 of Rio 2016. There is tae kwon do. If you haven't seen in

Lutalo Muhammad's final, you have to go online and see if. Heartbreaking.

The gymnastics arena is still full, rhythmic gymnastics taking place

right now, if you want to see them with the ribbon and the hope and the

rest of it. The Red Button is the place to go if you are a rhythmic

gymnastics fan. There is wrestling to boot as well. It is all there for

you on the Red Button. The BBC Sport website and the app. Back to Lee

Chong Wei's mission in the men's singles final. He has stopped being

as aggressive with his attacking play as he was earlier in the match.

That is delightful. There seemed to be a lot of tension,

at the front of the court too. Whether it is just nerves or the

ability to confidently played to the front court, also just that

injection of pace that he needed to bring into the game with the

variation towards the end for Lee Chong Wei.

That backhand defence wide from Chen Long. Very effective, the way he

took it so high. That one as well, beautifully done. He's covering

everything, isn't he? Chen Long. Lovely play.

Yes. That's a real demonstration of the frustration that Chen Long

causes his opponents, because he scrambles so much back, his

retrieving capabilities are extraordinary. Because of his

strong, powerful legs he is able to stay on balance and in the end, Lee

Chong Wei feeling he had got to hit the line, play the winner, and he

made the error. And I'm really not convinced that Lee Chong Wei should

be drawn into these long rallies of just trying to outmanoeuvre. I think

he needs to put pressure on his opponent by playing more attacking

shots. He's doing all the attacking. He's

certainly playing right to the corners, certainly stretching Lee

Chong Wei. Excellent play. But I think you're right when you were

discussing before, Lee Chong Wei needs to start to try to direct the

play. Be confident in his shots. He seems to be playing a little too

safe rather than trying to direct his opponents around the court. The

problem is, confidence is earned. You can't just switch it on like a

light. If you make those sorts of errors, a little bit of self doubt

comes in and you're not too sure about playing the lines and backing

yourself. But Chen Long, he is playing with full confidence and he

has got that wonderful court coverage.

Well, if you are a Malaysia and fan, you would be very concerned right

now. Is Lee Chong Wei looking fragile? Is

it going through his mind, "No, this can't happen again for a third

Olympic final"? If it is, he has to block it out. Easier said than done,

isn't it! All the sports psychologist will talk to you and

say you've got to think in a positive way, but the reality is,

when you're on court, you cannot help but think some of these things

that you shouldn't be thinking. Well, this is the end of the court

from which Lee Chong Wei won the second game of his semifinal against

the former Olympic champion, Lin Dan. There is Chen Long's

girlfriend. She is currently ranked number eight in the world in the

women's tingles. Just missed out on Olympic qualification because of two

higher ranked Chinese players. You're only allowed a maximum of two

players per discipline. Now that's what I think Lee Chong

Wei should be doing more of. He's followed up a good, strong smashed

down the line. The fast pushed deep into the Chen Long backhand. DP goes

for the winner with the 's forehand smash. -- he goes deep down the

line. Their team-mates winning a second

executive Gold Medal in the men's doubles yesterday. Back here to

support his team-mate. Well, the coach knows what it's like

to lose an Olympic final. He lost the final in Sydney in 2000.

Lee Chong Wei's serve is -- Chen Long's serve is short of the mark.

Oh! That was going out! My goodness, he played the perfect net shot, Lee

Chong Wei. He was really hesitant, wasn't he? He was into Mainz, but he

got away with it. Chen Long was in. He was ready to take the shot. The

net cord helping Lee Chong Wei. He got it back himself, Lee Chong Wei.

Yes, that has landed in. Lee Chong Wei telling the umpire. The

full-length dive. Some of the strapping coming loose on his knees.

Not a new injury problem, he wears that strapping all the time for his

matches. That was good judgment. My goodness.

There is a challenge. I thought that was definitely alt. -- out. We will

see. Yes, clearly out. We have had four

challenges in this final so far, not one of them has been correct. So

well done to the line judges, doing a great job. Are not four straight

points for Lee Chong Wei. He has overdone it, and again Lee

Chong Wei looks towards the deep forehand corner and turns to his

coaches to say, should I have left it? It was not -- wasn't going out?

I suspect it was. Trying to play a high backhand

across Croscombe -- across court. Seems a strange choice of shot.

Inevitably he played himself into difficulty with that. Chen Long has

great movement across the court, got right behind the shuttle. They are

back level, 8-8. There are signs he is riddled with

regards. -- nerves. A defensive shot, another sign of

nerves, perhaps. Another run of five straight points now. Chen Long. He

is looking more and more impressive. The Malaysian fans are trying to get

behind our man. Good aggression from the World

Champion, Chen Long. A round of six straight points and has the

advantage at the mid-game interval of game number two, having already

taken the first. Well, this will be a crucial

coaching bench as far as the Malaysian is concerned.

He is quietly and calmly talking to Lee Chong Wei. He knows he has the

capability, but this is so yearned for, this match and title, that he

wants. Perhaps he wants it too much, I do not know. And having built

himself up to play against the two-time defending Olympic champion

in yesterday's semifinal, perhaps psychologically as well as

physically, he is tired and drained from that. But if he wants to extend

the final, he needs to pull himself together, Lee Chong Wei. Needs to be

clear about his game plan. What a strange error from Chen Long.

Chen Long has been really picking the right shuttle them within from.

He has been placing shuttles around the court waiting for the

opportunity to move forward, and anticipating and moving quick into

the court. Just needs to continue the play.

He wants the shuttlecock changed. It is nice to see that the two men have

respect for each other when the other asks to change the shuttle. It

has done so immediately. Doesn't always happen in other disciplines

in Badminton. What a rally. It is the net play

that once again lets down. I am not convinced with that smash. I am not

sure it was the right moment to play it. I do not think he needs to play

a more aggressive style of game. -- I do think. But it has to be done at

the right time. Oh, my goodness. That was long by a

whisker. Very fortunate for Lee Chong Wei, just going along of the

line. Stash My goodness me!

How many errors has Lee Chong Wei made on his net play today? It just

shows the importance of the net battles and rallies, being confident

to be able to play that and get into position. Chen Long playing very

confidently around the front. Lee Chong Wei just has a little bit of

hesitation. That is the difference. Again, I am really not convinced by

the crosscourt clear. Yes, it is not getting him in good position, and

Lee Chong -- two is getting crosscourt.

They have to take into account the drift going two ways, lengthways and

sideways, and he is not hitting a good enough clear with that. Crisis

time for the world number one, Lee Chong Wei. Time is running out

because the World Champion is looking very good at the moment.

My goodness, didn't Malaysian need that?

That is a clever smash. He needed that point. Lee Chong Wei, great

elevation, into the body. Just an injection of pace at the right time.

Lee Chong Wei has to pick the right shot to attack. That is the head

coach. He is looking a little more concerned now.

And that is long. There is a challenge here from Lee Chong Wei.

No, that is clearly out, no question. There was a moment earlier

on in that rally after there had been some desperate defence from Lee

Chong Wei when he threw in the clear again and I thought why on earth?

That was the moment he needed to smash and play the attacking shot.

He hasn't won a title yet this year, Chen Long. He has been in three

finals and lost them all. Lee Chong Wei has been in four finals and won

them all. Such an important point this one. Lee Chong Wei needs to

stay in touch. Perhaps the nerves are kicking in

with Chen Long as well. What a rally! There is a challenge.

It was called good, I thought it was good, but Lee Chong Wei doesn't

agree. Oh, no, that was plumb on the line.

So almost certainly he will lose the second challenge. Yes, it was right

on the line. So, no more challenges left for Lee Chong Wei in this

second game. The defence in that rally was

extraordinary. He just wants to try out the new

racket. And have a new shuttle, too. 33rd

shuttle of the match. It is well long of the backline. And

Chen Long is three points away from making his streams reality. -- his

dreams. Why on earth wasn't he playing

aggressively like that earlier on? It is what he needs to do, isn't it?

Take his opportunity, play the angles, keep the rally is short, if

he gets the chance to attack the shuttle. He has to go now, Lee Chong

Wei. Yeah, it's now or never. You sense his time is running out.

He really needs to direct the rallies from here on in.

Went for the attacking shot, as I suggested he should, but finding the

net. And that is a clear sign of nerves.

Yes, the anguish on the face of Lee Chong Wei. Chen Long is two points

away from the gold medal. The nerves are rattling both of

them. There is no other stage like it, is

the? And Olympic gold medal on the line. The nerves have to come into

it. Now Chen Long has four gold medal

points. Has he left it too late, Lee Chong

Wei? The smash and the quick follow-up is what I've been

expecting all match. It is still match point for Chen

Long. He has missed it! Would you believe

it? My goodness me. Lee Chong Wei has been thrown a lifeline.

Incredible defensive work by Lee Chong Wei. Chen Long taking it right

up to him with the attack. Two match point have come and gone. Another

two remain. Oh, it is wide. Chen Long, the

two-time world champion becomes the Olympic champion.

21-18, 20 1-18. What a performance from the world champion. But spare a

thought for the world number one, Lee Chong Wei.

ORE: Well, we have seen blood, sweat and so many tears in the badminton

arena. Congratulations, Chen Long, the Olympic champion, but Malaysia's

wait for an Olympic gold medal goes on. Three Olympic finals for Lee

Chong Wei, and he is still to win the gold. Chen Long wins and the

gold medals stays in China. What an incredible match. Michael Jamieson,

the British son, thank you for tweeting us, that was simply

stunning, wasn't it? We're going to the golf now because even more

sensational action. Charley Hull is still hoping to come away with a

medal. But you wait so long for a hole in one. I think we've had three

in the space of 1.5 rounds. Kat Downes? We like to tease it up

before we revealer it. You may not have heard of Russia's Matteo

Manassero, but she is known on the golf course for her rather

flamboyant headwear. She wears this enormous Pfizer as she goes around.

But she's straight in the hole. That catapulted her eight under par, and

she didn't even realise that ball had gone in. Here is Charley Hull,

Britain's Charley Hull. She is going well, too. She is seven under par,

meaning she is tied for fifth at the moment but it is tight at the top

with everyone chasing this lady, these seven time major winner, Inbee

Park. She has a stranglehold on this contest. She's 15 under par, so

she's six shots clear of the rest of the field. It looks like gold is

going to career, barring any major meltdown from Inbee Park but it is

those two players Chinese and the New Zealand player in second and on

nine under par. Charley Hull is tied fifth. So Charley Hull just turning

for home now and she's in with a chance of a medal.

It is time to go diving with Tom Daley. Let's go into the Maria Lenk

Aquatics Centre. I will get a lemon sorbet later, I think. Also

successful Jack Law and Chris Mears. What can Tom Daley do? He took

bronze on the ten metres platform back in London, he is the again at

the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, Helen Skelton, what is going on?

The way this works is that there are three rounds. If Tom gets through

this he makes it through to the final tonight. Jack Law, Chris

Mears, talk us through Tom's performance yesterday in the

prelims. It was impressive. It was, he did every single dive at

8.5, nine, and above. To get an Olympic record in the club and we --

in the preliminary round is fantastic. Has he done too much too

soon? I think he will get a lot of confidence from that, a prelim is

normally the hard face of competing. Really long rounds, 25 minutes for

each dive -- phase. But he will get confidence from that and the other

guys will be a little bit scared of him. He certainly put down a marker

to the Chinese, said, hey boys, this is what I got. How difficult is it

to stand up there and do what he is doing? We do three metres and he

does ten metres, it is completely a different event really, like the

difference between sprinting and a marathon. That is a classed either.

To present that in a prelim when there's so much pressure to make it

to the semifinals, the nerves, you are outdoors, conditions changing,

we think it sends a message to other competitors in this event that he is

here to do business. At that point do you look at what everyone else

has got? You know what they are capable of, but will he be watching

the others? Identity is that concerned. You can tell he is in the

right place and literally, he just came out, I don't think he would

even have looked at the other guys. -- I don't think he is concerned. He

just wanted to win that feeling 100 ascent, and that is what he did.

Fair play to you guys for being here for every session, you would be

justified in going out partying. His Olympic silver medallist from

four years ago. Qiu Bo. That is a heck of a dive. Most athletes go for

that in the tuck position, much safer. This had a higher degree of

difficulty. Look how close his toes,. In fact they hit the board.

If the judges saw that they were penalised him but he was spinning so

quickly they might have missed it. This is why I would not want to do

this dive. He is only tiny in height so he does get into a little tight

bunch. The judges have not seen it. Look at that score. Remember, they

don't get the replays that we get. Although will you and did spot that

in real time so well done to him. -- Leon did spot that in real time.

Tom Daley, the man who led for four out of six rounds in the prelims.

Not as good as yesterday but it is good enough. I want to brief

everyone, this is just the semifinal. What we saw from Tom

Daley yesterday was electric. I want to see him diving well, but I want

to see him just whacking -- backing off the gas. We were talking

yesterday, can you hold back? Surely if you are a diver you commit or you

don't. You cannot back off. As soon as you take off that is it for the

entire dive. But it would be nice for him to make it through, which we

all hope he does, and then apply pressure to the field, because going

last is a lot of pressure on you. Especially if you know the diver

will get you a medal or not. But if you apply pressure to the field by

finishing a bit lower down in the semifinals then you are applying

pressure to other people might then find it harder to come heat. -- to

compete. Let's take another look at the dive of Qiu Bo. His feet clipped

the ball. How dangerous is that? He is closer than he wants to be. He

normally has pretty good clearance. But that is a very difficult to dive

in the pike position when most divers go for the tuck position. So

it is a danger. The fact he quit his feet, he possibly expected a little

bit of a toe tap. It is not a massive deal. It is not nice to see,

but it is not a mass of concern. If they come close with their head,

that is when the judges need to score it very low because it is too

close to the board. Last night Tom blew away the field. What do you

make of this first-time effort? It is a strong effort, a really

consistent dive. He has a decent score, eighth place... It is good.

What about the judging. People ask question, hold on, why are these

scores crossed out? It is to eliminate human error, right? Yes,

they take off the top two and bottom two scores to get a kind of average.

It is a really good opener for Tom. You don't want him to kill it this

morning and ran out of fuel too early. But it is a really good

opener for him. Let's rejoin round two.

You need to be very skilful to get this done. A double somersault, two

and a half twists, so much going on. Interesting twist style, hands in

the centre, we often see it in trampolining. He squared it up

nicely and just about got it in. A huge score, much better from

Bedggood. Yes, he sneaked into this semifinal and that is much better

from Bedggood, the Australian, who goes into top position for the time

being. 20 more to come. Nikita Shleikher, a big dive for the

Russian. This is a high risk dive, many athletes going for it because

of the degree of difficulty, if you get it right, like Tom Daley

yesterday, you can get 103. But he messed up his finish, over rotated,

lots of splash, a volcano as he entered the water. The splash is

thrown up. The marks with the lines through them do not count. The ones

in the career do. 6.5, Nikita Shleikher, not the required score

from his point of view. A man know who really does push things to the

limit. Started with a 3.7. Here comes his arm stand. The noise in

the crowd has subsided. Here comes the arm stand back double somersault

with two and a half twists, for the Mexican. He gets such a good

take-off. Johnson drifted too far. But Ivan Garcia has got the

technique down on this. 3.6 degrees of difficulty. That gives you an

idea of how tricky this is. Garcia, just a little short going into the

water, unable to keep all of the splash down, but a bit better than

yesterday. We expect to see the Mexican making it through. Cannot

wait for round five, but it is a little way off yet. Garcia, two very

high tariff dives from them. -- for him. One Canadian is out, one

remains. A different version of the arm stand this time. It is not 3.6,

it is 3.3. This is vertical. The arm stand back three somersault for

Vincent Riendeau. That is our first banana of the semifinal. Vincent

Riendeau, just not quite getting what we call the donkey kick right,

to get enough rotation. So is he bends his knees and flicks into it

he does not quite get the rotation we need, so he turns into a banana

in order to get it more vertical. A pretty good save and he gets away

with that. The Canadian, for the time being, goes to third. Now the

Brazilian getting the applause. The crowd wants to Hugo Parisi to up his

game. That is much better. He will need a little bit of luck on his

side because the degree of difficulty is low all the way

through. This is 3.0, the lowest degree of difficulty, so it needs to

be good. He got eight on this yesterday. 72 yesterday. Let's see

what he gets today. We have a new set of judges from last night. But

they see that dive exactly the same way. 72, Hugo Parisi, after a 57

opening, so a much better standing. This man just missed out on a medal

at the World Championships in Barcelona 2013. German Sanchez, the

other Mexican. The tariff across-the-board the same as Ivan

Garcia has. Inward 3.54 German Sanchez, currently in fifth place.

That is a little underwhelming. Sanchez can do, and has done in the

past, and inward 4.5. So he is leaving that to his team-mate and

synchro partner. He almost took that a little too tentatively and did not

lock out well enough on the finish, causing splash. He gets caned by the

judges. They did not like it and all will he.

-- nor will he. Woo Ha-ram, inward 3.5. Easy to get dizzy when you spin

that quickly. He has raised his game for this final event. He makes this

dive very easily. Feet pointing toward the ceiling. Just does not

quite get the vertical entry, does he? He somersault under the water to

try to keep the splashdown. A little frustrated. He knows he will need to

work hard to make it through. He might slip a place or two. Now,

Rafael Quintero, we keep saying it, he really impressed us yesterday.

This is his biggest dive of the programme. Forward 4.5. Let's go,

Quintero, wonderful diving. So easy to make a mistake. As we have seen

from the Canadian and a few others, only choosing a forward three .5 in

the pike position. So it takes real steel to go for it with this dive.

Forward 4.5, high risk, and it comes off for the Puerto Rican. Whatever

he is doing in America is suiting him down to the ground. 85, best

mark of the round we have seen so far, for Quintero. Two Australians

have made it into the semifinal, we have seen one, there is James

Connor, currently amongst the group in eighth place. That is another

good take-off from a technical point of view. Strong job, good throw of

the arms, hips up and away, safe distance from the diving board, but

just missing his finish. Talking in his chin and washing a little bit

over. Over rotating. What did he get for that? He got a

seven thrown in for good measure. Here's Viktor Minibaev. It is

passable. We've already mentioned that it is high risk when Quintero

nailed his. It is common for this dive to go astray for many athletes.

There's only a very few amount can do it well, let's be fair. Minibaev

landing a little bit short of vertical into the water, so the

water hits him on the chest, which is why we we see him emptying the

pool. 70.30 as we move on to the finalists from four years ago,

exactly the same dive for the German, Sascha Klein. Did you hear

the noise he made on the take-off? You landed on the end. There was a

huge that which seem to take a lot of his power away because he doesn't

quite get his hips up and over. As you can see here, Sascha Klein is

running out of room and landing even shorter of vertical than Shleikher.

It is the morning in Rio, the guys were diving last night, and they've

got to dive tonight so it is a lot of diving in a short space of time

and it could be affecting them energetically. It may well be for

Klein. It is a decent score. It leaves them with some work to do. As

indeed is the case for Martin Wolfram. He is trying to make up

some marks from his first round. It needed to be good. Every diver

must perform a dive from a different group. There are six groups. This is

the inward. We've seen the forward, the back, the reverse, the twist,

which is where you twist along the longitudinal axis or the handstand,

or arm stand. All divers must do all six groups of diving. And he goes

away with 67.20, which isn't what he is looking for. It put him outside

the top 12 after this round. Here is a young man who has been competing

this year, not in the Europeans, though, as we mentioned. He did get

some second places. Here is Benjamin Auffret. He has everything dialled

in. He's spinning around. The other day, I said he is like in a salad

spinner. He's zipping around, he's pulling his knees far apart which

increases the spin speed making this dive comfortably... In fact a little

bit more to comfortably because when he picks his spot to come out, he

over rotates with the opening to the chest, so he gets annoyed with

himself. Certainly on this dive. It was the same yesterday when he came

out, looking like he just got fours, but he does get a seven and 7.5. And

he will be at the upper end of the list.

That's very nice from our second American in this semifinal, Boudia.

Such a great technician. He buries this finish but he has some of the

guys effect, there is a massive bubble up afterwards. He needs to

keep his splashdown. The National performance director likes it. Good

enough from Boudia. The judges like it. Yeah, it is good.

Onto the two Chinese before we get to Tom Daley. He has been the top

ten-metre diver of the year. This one is in the pike position. That is

much better from Chen Aisen. He's a crazy cat to do this dive.

Unbelievable. 3.5 degrees of difficulty. It should be worth more

than that from a degree of difficulty point of view. He puts

his boots on temporarily, then slight over rotation. Today, this

will be nines and that is better from him. That'll be 90 points

because of the difficulty. Yeah, good return from Chen Aisen. 91 for

him. We move onto Qiu Bo, our world champion and the Olympic

silver-medallist from London. That is a fraction short of

vertical. He got nines yesterday but this isn't as good. Opting to do

this dive in the pike position, as Tom Daley does with a 3.5

difficulty. He will get less than 80 points on bad. Considering he got 96

on it yesterday he isn't at the same standard. That is a big reversal in

terms of points. That won't even keep him in the top three. Garcia is

above him, as is Boudia. Now, Tom Daley. What have you got for us?

Just warming up into the bigger dives to come. It isn't unusual to

see an error on this. This is his newest dive to the programme. This

is the dive he nailed yesterday. This take-off lets him down ever so

slightly. Not the speed he's used to, drops like a stone, lands short

but it's OK. Between you and me and the millions of people watching and

listening, I'd rather see it now than this afternoon. As long as he

makes the top 12, though. Read a little bit extra from him later. 54

it is Mark. At the moment, he is in 17th place after round two. So here

are the standings after two rounds. Chen Aisen and David Boudia are one

and two. That is the front page for you. How far is Tom Daley adrift of

where he needs to be? He is 25 points behind Steele Johnson in

12th. So, Tom Daley needs to be in the top 12 to be in the final. Not

quite as good as it was last night, but is there any real cause for

concern yet? Not yet. The weather conditions are hard, it feels very

windy, especially at the top, at ten metres. Throwing yourself off, it

can make it difficult the divers but he's trying to copy me, you know? I

went well, I got a silver medal. Hopefully he'll finish top later. He

is providing the drama will to see. It is only a second dive but what

went wrong? This is a very complicated dive. He's the only one

to be completing this. It is very technical. On that throw, he needs

to be able to get the somersault speed quicker because you've such

little time to fit in all those somersaults and twists in. When it

is cold and windy up there, it can be hard for him to get the actual

speed to get the rotation going. He landed short on the end but it is

fine and he has four dives to come so it'll be OK. So, for people at

home, were looking for a splash and we are also looking for...?

Take-off, form, so legs coming apart, something like that, that is

something judges will take points off for. The main thing is the

entry. And how you land. He landed short. If you're landing upright,

you're in contention but if you landed on your back, it is a lower

score. And it is going to really hurt. Yes, and whether or not it

looks good. Especially on the top camp, when they go in... And you see

a small bellyflop. That isn't very good. You can have a chuckle about

it now, because you have so much distance. Yeah, I can say what I

want! Yeah, not a bad week at all. Let's check in with Kat Downes on

the goal. Well were getting into the business end of the Gulf now. Those

able Mish free round before this, her first mistake, Inbee Park. A

drive finding the water, and she ended up dropping a shot, so she

moves 14 under par for the tournament. Meanwhile, the Chinese

superstar coming up behind her with back-to-back birdies, three in a

row, and this is Charley Hull, who is making a move in the last few

holes, making this birdie on the 11th. That took her to eight under,

bringing her into one shot of the bronze medal. Another good news for

Charley Hull is that the world number one, Lydia Ko, is one shot

ahead of her at nine under and she's in trouble on the 11th, so Charley

Hull making a move, seven holes left of around, she's got plenty of time

now to manoeuvre herself into that bronze position. Follow the golf,

back Charley Hull all the way home, on

the Red Button, and you can follow it online and on the BBC sport. Back

to you to the diving now. I love Charley Hull. I've played golf with

her and needless to say I didn't win. Back to the semifinal of the

men's ten-metre individual platform. Let's rejoin round three.

He's got away with it. That take-off, well, it is dodgy. He

drifts away from the platform, throwing the dive halfway down the

pool which means controlling it is super tricky. Somehow, he manages a

bit of jiggery-pokery, and he doesn't massively overrated. That is

really good skills. Into the Jacuzzi. The judges came him from it

because he's so far away from the platform. Is a long swim back. Dodge

city. Well, it's OK. He's right on the

marker with regards to the standings on the leaderboard. Inward 3.5, his

lowest but 1 degrees of difficulty. One of his easiest dives. You'll

need to be getting close to 80 points. He won't do that because

he's a little bit scruffy, with one of his feet half pointed and the

other one flat. The marks for the Canadian. They are OK. He might have

wanted an extra ten out of that. There was a lot of cheering. There

is a lot of Brazilian flags in the crowd. They greet the arrival of

Hugo Parisi. This was his highest scoring dive yesterday,

surprisingly. I've watched him land all over the pool on this dive. This

is a diving technical term for everywhere but vertical and upright.

Today he's done a reasonably good job at it isn't nowhere near as good

as the score yesterday. So, not as good from our only Brazilian in this

final. How he'd love to make the final tonight. That is the

semifinal, sorry! His opening was 57, which means he's in danger of

not making the top 12. We lose six but at the moment were not losing

this man because he is comfortably inside the top 12 and will not even

halfway yet. German Sanchez of Mexico, there are two Mexicans.

Very similar to his dive in the prelims. The aerial work is good.

Did not quite get into a tight enough to shake, a bit of a deck

chair all the way around, we should see the thighs on the hamstrings,

and look at that, a super splash. He will get punished either judges by

way of the marks they award. Marks is followed. Gives him 62. Not

anywhere near what he required. How quickly things can fluctuate. Woo

Ha-ram, 3.4 in the tuck position. That is a swingy start, which is why

he messed up the finish of the dive. He throws his shoulders a little bit

aggressively. Luckily he moved his hips far enough forward from the

diving board, but he cannot control that rotation. He warbles a little

bit. Like driving a bus, steering a bus, in fact... Not today, I hope,

he could be everywhere or anywhere. 68. This round has been very

interesting. We have not yet had a decent score. Round three is proving

problematic for those who have gone so far. This man has improved beyond

all recognition in the last 12 months, 31st in the World

Championships last year... That is why we did not recognise him. Yes,

yet here is in the semifinal, Rafael Quintero of Puerto Rico. He is

solid, and physically prepared as well. Like somebody you would see

modelling on the beach. It can make diving a little bit difficult, he is

very, very muscular, can be difficult to get into the water

clean with no splash. Look at the size of his shoulders, really

difficult from a ten metres platform point of view. Solid as a rock right

now. Looks like he is heading upwards in terms of the standings, a

long way shy of the World Championship finals last year but

the Olympic finals is now in sight. James Connor, he has been playing

peekaboo with us. This is a long way around, in the pike position, have

off the field have gone for the forward 4.5, James Connor goes for

the forward 3.5. He needs eight or upward to stay where he is. The

competition is hotting up. Both of our screens are quite difficult to

read at the moment but the market is 7.5, as the sun comes right around

into our commentary position. We move on to Viktor Minibaev, reverse

3.5, with tuck. He is eighth at the moment but it is very tight,

positions 8-12. What a dive. Faltered previously but has now come

out like a Phoenix with a pearl of a dive. Everything hotting up now. We

are getting to the point of the competition where the degree of

difficulty goes up a notch or two. That score actually matches what

Chen Aisen did in the opening round, the best mark we have seen so far.

Everybody must do an arm stand of one variety or another in these

rounds and Sascha Klein chooses to do his in round three. He needed a

good one. It is a dive he sometimes has difficulty with. Feet quite

close to the diving board to get the rotation going, which is why he

flattens his feet and points his toes only once safely by the board.

That is a good score going the way of Sascha Klein, they needed it.

Shows his experience, as Tom Daley will, I am sure, to rectify his

second-round mistake. Almost 19, he needed it after a poor second round.

The first of the two Germans, and here comes the next of them, Martin

Wolfram, the younger, 24 years old, Martin Wolfram, reverse 3.5 with

tuck. It is nice. I must admit I do not like his style when exiting the

dive, tucking into a pike position then extending through, it does not

look as classy as some of the others, in my opinion. But it is a

very effective. And he lands vertically with hardly any splash. I

think he needs a slightly different style, but that is his style, and

what they don't screw away with. 81.4 -- what he gets away with.

81.6, Martin Wolfram. Benjamin Auffret, with his forward 3.5. Nice

finish, the easy option in the front group of guys. Forward 3.5 at 3.0,

there are many more choices, but these are the ones the athlete are

choosing to perform today and that is the best we have seen of this

dive, mainly because of the quality of the entry. Look at this. See you.

What will the judges make of that? 76.5, 8.5 across the board. As solid

as he was yesterday. Coming up with good dive after good dive. David

Boudia, defending champion, going for the forward 4.5. He is faltering

as well. The take-off is good. The spin speed is more than adequate.

Just licking his entry spot a little bit too close to the board. You can

see his chin tucking in. And he rolls over into the water, that will

be costly. His wife, I think, maybe, I am not sure if that is his wife...

In any case, definitely a supporter. A little grimace rather than a

cheer, which we would normally see from his supporters. Fifth, with

three more to come, so still comfortable in terms of

qualification but further down than he would like to be at this stage.

Chen Aisen, time for his arm stand, back double somersault with two and

a half twists, 3.6, higher degree of difficulty. It is a mega skilful.

Because if anybody else takes off like this they would have had a lot

of difficulty getting this dive into the upright position. He is really

low but manages to dig into the pike shape. Excellent work from Chen

Aisen. It will not be nine, but he gets away with a .5, and that means

88 points, he is a country mile in front of the three excellent dives.

An incredibly ugly take-off, does himself no favours, but he finishes

it off, get around, and get it in, the important thing. Here comes Qiu

Bo, down from 3.6 to 3.4 tariff. Gives it too much on the start. This

might be the condition here. Beautiful sunshine on the board, and

then into the shade. He picked his exit spot incorrectly. Look at that.

Surfs up. Look at that wave. That is really unexpected from the silver

medallist of four years ago. 56.1. When Tom Daley took World

Championships gold in Rome conditions were not as -- not too

different from this, outdoor pool, other divers missing their spots,

and he came through in the situation. Nothing he has not

experienced before. 17th, do not be too alarmed, if this goes well he

will rocket up the standings. An stand, back, three somersaults with

pike, 3.5 degrees of difficulty, he needs to get moving. Not yet. A

little bit weak on his take-off. You can tell from his body language, he

knows it was not what he was after. Does not quite get the momentum he

needed. And just exit the dive way too early. We are seeing many of the

top athletes faltering. All Tom Daley needs to do now is do his

other three, and be good enough to make it through. I am not concerned.

I know you will all be on my Twitter feed now saying, oh my God, he is

out of it, but he is not. He has three dives to go and even if he is

way off the standings at the moment he can make it back. Not only is he

we off, he is at the bottom. -- way off. But there are three more rounds

to go, we are only halfway there remember. Tom Daley, at the moment,

is now far adrift of the qualification mark. He has got to

get something like 30, 40 points. It is one extreme to the other. We

were so confident, saying he could get a personal best. Could this be

his worst dive? That is not a great dive from Tom, and it is one of his

stronger ones, they are stand. The pressure may be getting to him a

little bit, it is the Olympics final -- the arms stand. I am starting to

get a little bit concerned. If he does three good dives with his last

three, and he has a front next, and if he does it like yesterday, he

will get many points and that, and will jump straight back into the

mix. So hopefully will turn it on in the next three rounds. He is not the

only one dropping down, is he? No, it is affecting a lot of people. It

is windy. The nerves of making the Olympic final, it is so difficult.

David Boudia, he won its overall, having qualified in 18th place. You

put so much pressure on yourself. Tom is in the exact position of just

wanting to do well, and it is his worst enemy. I feel that this sport

brings out the worst in me, because I look at some people in thing, mess

it up, mess it up. It is horrible, isn't it? -- look at some people,

thinking. But Viktor Minibaev, he's not feeling the pressure, he's seen

the opportunity. That is close to perfect. He has an odd technique but

it is really good to watch. We have seen some brilliant dives. And we

have also seen some drops. The door is still wide open for Tom. Let's

check in and see what is happening at the golf.
