Day 15 BBC One: 17.50-22.10 Olympics

Once again on the Olympic stage it is Nicola Adams that has prevailed.

Bianca Walkden of Great Britain. Big cheer for Mo Farah. He has fallen.

Mo Farah wins the gold. Simply wonderful from Mo Farah.

Great Britain and Northern Ireland have already beating the medals

totals and potentially, the Gold Medal tally, at an away Olympic

Games, the team is on the verge of the greatest ever Olympic

performance and some of the stars to look out for are the biggest names,

Nicola Adams and Mo Farah. It is a wild and windy day here in the Mac.

-- Rio. The equivalent of the red arrows overhead has everybody

clapping. In terms of British sport, we reflect with sadness, Tom Daley,

we were expecting to see him in the final of the ten metres platform and

he has not read the Bible. Overall, the British team are performing

above expectation. There are always disappointment in sport for the

things that do not work out. As you can see from the medal count,

already above London and Beijing. It is just extraordinary when you think

of the different sports that have won medals. Already today, Liam

Heath in the 200 metre kayak sprint took gold and Vicky Holland took

bronze in the triathlon. The most successful team is cycling, followed

by gymnastics and swimming. Tom Daley was hoping to add to the medal

count but in the end he could not make it. He qualified first into the

semifinals this morning but was off his game today. He needed a final

dive of over 100 points but it was not to be. His landing was just not

right. He finished last out of the 18 and failed to qualify for the

final. He said afterwards he was heartbroken and it has made him look

again at his objectives and he is determined to make it finished

differently in Tokyo in four years' time. To night, Nicola Adams in the

final once again of the women's flyweight boxing. It is coming up on

BBC One very soon. We will be talking to our hockey heroines and

reflecting on the tae kwon do loss in the very last as catching up with

the 4x100 metres relay team. We'll have Bianca Walkden who is a world

champion, our quarterfinal is at 8:30pm. If they get through the

semifinals, we will show you the diving, despite Tom Daley being in

it. And we will have the bonus of Brazil versus Germany and the final

of the football. The Brazilian fans excited about that, on BBC Four will

stop the athletics with Mo Farah, is late again. It is worth staying up

to 1:30am. Nicola Adams is coming next with her massive smile in the

boxing ring. We have inside the reigning Olympic superheavyweight

champion, Anthony Joshua, with John Inverdale.

I am sure the family of Mull and other related about his build-up. He

was the last British man to win back-to-back Olympic titles in 1920

and 1924, Anthony Mullally. I am sure his family and descendants will

have told many people about how he trained at a boxing club in Hackney

in the East End of London. That boxing club no longer exists. It now

forms part of the Olympic Park. Four years ago, Nicola Adams won her

first gold medal in London. Harry had to make the short hop from

Belgium to France to win his two medals, Nicola has gone from London

to Rio. When I look in the mirror, I see a person that has been through

hard times, struggled. I also see a person that when I have had all of

these struggles, I had been able to get back up. It is not how you go

down it is how you get back up. My introduction with boxing, I guess,

was with my dad and the rest of the family. Sat round the TV, watching

the big fights. And seeing replays of Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray

Leonard winning their gold medals at the Olympics. Some of the

professional world title fights as well. Some of the other girls that I

train with, they have been turned away from gymnasiums, we do not

train girls here. I was lucky. My coach didn't mind. He said, you will

be treated the same as all the other boxers. That was fine, that was all

I wanted. We are on the cusp of a profoundly significant moment

because for the first time, women will compete in an Olympic boxing

final at the Olympic Games. To become an Olympic boxer, the

setbacks for me was that it was not an Olympic sport, it did not have

funding and we did not get support. My mum had to fund a lots of my

travelling, going away to training camps, petrol money. It added up to

a lot, especially for the single parent. I knew how much the entire

family had to sacrifice to get the error I am today. Nicola Adams has

just made history. It meant absolutely everything to me.

Everything I had to face, to think about now I am on top of the podium

with a Gold Medal after all of these struggles, it was a dream come true,

it really was. Nicola Adams of Great Britain is the Olympic champion. I

think I have inspired so many people because they have seen that I come

from a normal, working-class family. I have shown that with hard work and

dedication you can achieve anything. You have to be prepared to get up

and do the work. The first part of the Mission accomplished, Nicola

Adams is through to the final for the second successive Olympic Games.

I would like to call myself a double Olympic champion. I want to be the

most accomplished amateur boxer we have had. I want that little bit of

icing on the cake. It is just three minutes until the moment of truth

for Nicola Adams. Anthony Joshua is here. What is it like in these last

few Mormons before going into the ring for an Olympic final? For

Nicola, she is such a bubbly person and lovely character, she has been

in some walls and had some tough fights. She would have been fresh

earlier on. It'll be interesting to see how her body has held up.

Hopefully her legs are not heavy and shoulders are not too sure. -- so.

She got rid of the biggest threat in the tournament so I hope she goes

out and enjoys it. She has passed the toughest test and that she gets

the win today. Harper 's contest was catchy, she said, rest assured I

will get better as the competition goes on as the ring rust is God. Can

you identify with that? I definitely agree. The first time, sometimes,

you are overanxious. Something does not click the first thing you fight.

If you get the decision, the ball starts rolling. For Nicola, she can

only improve. She has had a tough is about. Hopefully, the lady that

could repeat, she overcame that soda should be straightforward, God

willing. You say that she is bubbly, she knows the enormity of what she

might achieve, is that a danger that it weighs too heavily on her? Of

course. Double Olympian, all the pressure on how that comes with

that. On the outside, I am standing here and join the boxing, I am as

cold as ice. For Nicola, she will be buzzing and given so much energy. As

long as she can keep a lid on it and let it out in the ring, do not let

the nerves get to her, I think she is very capable of winning. Here she

is now, smiling once again. Look at the support, so many people here for

her today. Even the Brazilians are familiar with her because they love

boxing. She does not look at overawed by the occasion, when she

is relishing the prospect of pottable unfold over the next 12

minutes. If there is one danger, one caveat you will put on today, what

will that be? She is a good attacking fighter. When I was

watching her, you think that she does not do anything when resting

and then out of the blue she will explode with punch combinations. As

long as the legs are not too heavy and she is still sharp on her legs,

when the opponent starts to have four punch combinations, she can get

out of danger. I hope she is fresh, had her physiotherapy, ate well and

then she has recovered. Will this be yet another Gold Medal for Team GB?

COMMENTATOR: Final moments of introspection for Nicola Adams.

Final moments of instruction from Dave, Harcourt, in the red corner.

Nicola Adams looking to join a short list of Olympic auxin legends taking

a brace of titles in the boxing ring. -- Olympic boxing legends.

Representing Great Britain, Nicola Adams.

Introducing, the boxer in the blue corner, representing France... Sarah

Ourahmoune. Head up, no low blows. Shake hands

and good luck. But that touch of God, this Olympic gold-medal bout

about to get underway. -- touch of clubs.

Here we go. The first of a scheduled four two minute rounds in the 51

kilograms flyweight final is being contested between boxers from France

and Great Britain. The boxer in dread is looking to score with that

educated left hand, Nicola Adams, the reigning Olympic champion from

London. The reigning world champion from Kazakhstan earlier this year.

Opponent in blue is Sarah Ourahmoune, ranked 15th in the world

and she comes in as a bronze medal from the World Championship having

taking silver at the 48 kilograms weight in 2008. Anticipating your

opponent's tactics is crucial in any match in this tournament. Nicola

Adams will be expecting a comfortable win on the front foot.

She is the shorter boxer, the French girl, so she will try to get inside

Nicola Adams and force the pace. Nice little right hand over the top.

Nicola Adams has to be accurate with the jab. She has to keep her

opponent at distance, backend that lead hand. If she can do that, she

will not have any real problems. This is the Olympic final so it will

put an extra 10-20% on your opponent's performance. Expect Sarah

Ourahmoune to come quickly on that front. Nicola Adams has targeted

both the head and the body from the left and right flanks. Cracking

right hand from Sarah Ourahmoune as she got inside the longer reach of

the boxer in red. These two women have met four times before prior to

this final. Nicola Adams has been victorious in all four of the

contests. She needs to get her time in better. Sarah Ourahmoune is

coming forward. She is targeting the right hand. She has to measure with

the jab and bring her on to the right uppercut. She has to improve

her accuracy, Nicola Adams. Nicola Adams starting briskly in the

opening round, scoring to both body and head. Let us see if we can

listen in to the red corner. Sharp 12, jab. Take guard. Overhand right.

The court saying that the jab is the key. Sarah Ourahmoune is looking for

the overhand right. He wants an accurate punch with the left hand.

To keep the opponent off balance, one of the jobs that are jab does as

well as scoring points. These are the scores. Across the board for

Adams. She needs to keep it going. The left-hander is crucial.

Into the second round. Nicola Adams sweeping the opening round

unanimously, 10-9 from all three judges. Five judges are seated

ringside and chosen randomly before the opening bell and those cores are

used to determine the outcome of each fight. -- those scores. Nicola

Adams showing her talents. She is boxing well on the outside but she

can rough it up on the inside. That is why she is Olympic champion, she

can mix it when she needs to. She will have to. This French opponent

will be determined. Again Adams comes back with the better work.

Terrific variety being shown by Adams. She started the round on the

back foot, on the perimeter of the ring, then changing the tactics and

getting onto the front foot and driving Sarah Ourahmoune backwards.

Sarah Ourahmoune facing a difficult has to try to get inside the longer

arms and disrupt the timing being demonstrated by the boxer in red. I

spoke about that right uppercut in the first round and she delivered a

lovely shot, Adams, to the midsection. Lovely one-two. The

accuracy is better from Adams. It is difficult to get to her if she hits

you at long range. Difficult for Sarah Ourahmoune to close the gap

down. That is why the accuracy is spot on at the moment from Adams.

A difficult task for Ourahmoune, Adams retreating beyond punching

distance. She will have a sense that she has conceded the opening round,

wonderful 1-2 from Adams, who was finding her rhythm and timing

wonderfully in this gold medal bout. So Ourahmoune with only sporadic

success once again, Nicola Adams picking her punches wonderfully

throughout the course of that second round.

So halfway to a gold medal, happy with the way things have gone so

far? Most definitely, in the first round I think she was down three

points, I will keep it real, two phenomenal fighters, it is close,

but what I'm saying is that the French lady's boxing in

combinations, so she will wait, have spurt. I would say that Nicki is

keeping busy, and I think that is what the judges like - someone who

counterpunches. Four rounds of two minutes, hopefully she will be even

and can start taking the lead now. Round three. Two rounds completed,

two to go, and both of the completed rounds have been scored in favour of

the reigning Olympic champion, Nicola Adams, who has devastated the

greater variety, and superior ringcraft. But expect Ourahmoune to

pretty soon adopt an all or nothing approach in her efforts to get onto

the top spot of the Olympic medal podium. You said it, tactics predict

from the French boxer, she will come forward. Nicki has to keep on the

end of the jab, just to beat. Ourahmoune, going forward, has got

to move her head, try to work downstairs with Nicola. If Nicki

Adams is boxing in the ring, she can be difficult to get to, she has got

a full range of movement. Ourahmoune has got to try to move back to the

ropes for success. Adams continuing to work with the left jab,

Ourahmoune getting closer with the parking punches, as she made Nicola

Adams fall short. Ourahmoune one of two women on the French boxing team,

along with eight men, her female counterpart claimed gold yesterday

in the lightweight category, 60 kilograms. How much inspiration will

Ourahmoune take from that as she looks to overturn a two points

deficit on all three scorecards. Good left jab from Ourahmoune.

Ourahmoune is having slight success here and there, but Adams just put

her in her place, got on the back foot. Occasionally, you see Nicki

Adams holding her feet, prepared to stand and trade a little bit. As I

said before, Adams on the outside, this is a good performance again

from Adams. So more success for the boxer in blue, but Nicola Adams

continuing to land at catching straight punches. Plenty of support

in attendance for the British boxer. All appears calm over in the red

corner. Some good stuff from Adams, that is a nice shot, Ourahmoune did

have some success, right hand was not too far away. Adams

counterattacking, beating her opponent to the bunch, stepping

inside, good right hand. Princeton -- she's going to have to box the

contest of her life, she will have to either knock Adams out or

four-day stoppage, which is going to be very difficult. So Ourahmoune

with that increased success has swept round three across the, just

one point in it, Adams in front 29-28 for all three judges. So into

the fourth and final round of his gold medal bout in the 51 kilograms

flyweight division, and Nicola Adams has conceded the round that has just

preceded this one, and Ourahmoune has taken inspiration from that and

has come out in aggressive mood to begin this fourth and final round,

landing effectively with the right hand. Given the status of the

contest, Adams cannot afford to box protect a lead, and that is why it

changes, not tidy, but the exchange is close to the ropes. Adams has got

to get back to medium and long range, that is a strength. We said

she was an all-rounder, but that is her strength, on the outside. Good

straight shot from Adams, that is what you has got to do, hit the

opponent as she guns, concentrate and get the accurate shots, made too

long, rather than on the inside. The referee allowing the boxes to work

away at close range, perhaps worth pointing out that she had an 11 day

wait to get her Olympic campaign under way. She did they'd notably in

the fourth and final round, but still won convincingly against the

Ukrainian. -- she did fade. Cannot afford a similar fate here, this is

a third contest, all her experience being put to the test, Ourahmoune

trying to work away at close range. Nicky Adams just making a mistake,

after she has landed a shot, she falls into her opponent, and

Ourahmoune wants to work at close range. Three four from the French

boxer, Adams has got to start using that right hook, adjust the beat,

bring her opponent onto the shots, but she has got to compete. Both

boxers skilfully extracting the best from one another, into the fourth

and final round, who can produce the final moment of quality? Cracking

right hand from Ourahmoune. Incredibly tight gold medal bout

between two familiar rivals. At the end of the third round, Nicola Adams

led by one for all three judges, and Ourahmoune mounted a spirited rally

in the fourth and final round. It is incredibly tight, what do the judges

prefer? How will let's cool that final two minutes? It was tough, it

was close. -- how will they score. I think she just did enough to win

that last round, Ourahmoune was on the front foot, forcing it, but she

worked better on the inside, Adams better at mid and long. Very close,

but I think Nicola Adams did enough, eye-catching quality work, and that

will hopefully see her through. Nervous moments for both of the

boxers now. Incredibly keenly contested affair for Olympic gold.

Who's hand will be raised? Who will be declared as Olympic champion? --

whose. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by unanimous decision and

Olympic champion... In the red corner, Nicola Adams!

Nicola Adams lets out a triumphant roar, having been crowned as Olympic

champion for the second successive time! She joins an exclusive club,

reserved only for boxers with impeccable Olympic credentials, a

fantastic performance to edge her name or indelibly into the annals of

Olympic boxing history by becoming the first woman to win two Olympic

titles in the boxing ring. The Adams shovel in evidence, shadow-boxing

beneath the ring lights, she is elated, she has emulated the

achievements of the boxer in 1920 and 1924. Absolutely sensational

performance, and now she can add her name to the list of luminaries that

includes five Cubans, and outstanding legends of the game, so

many more throughout the years. It is a short list, and Nicola Adams

has just added her name to it, posing triumphantly with Gary and

David, and how much credit did they deserve for guiding and instructing

Nicola Adams through to her second successive Olympic crown? It is

Nicola Adams who had to perform the need the ring lights and execute

those instructions, and she has done so to perfection to claim her second

successive Olympic title and join the ranks of the Olympic boxing

immortals. And here comes Nicola Adams! Just

getting her accreditation put around her neck, we are allowed a very

quick chat with the Olympic boxing champion for the second time, many,

many congratulations! A hug from Anthony Joshua, well done, the gold

rush continues. The gold rush continues, I cannot believe it, I'm

officially the most accomplished amateur boxer we have ever had, like

ever, and it is such an amazing feeling. I would just like to say

thank you to everybody that has supported me, my mum, my brother,

happy birthday to my coach's daughter. Thank you for all the hard

work you have put in over the years. We made it! The hard work that you

put in, can you compare that with London? Yeah, definitely, it is well

up there. I would probably say they are both on the same level, it takes

a lot to win an Olympic medal, especially to be able to do it

twice. I would like to thank everybody, the coaching staff,

everyone. Talking about everyone, it is almost the end of the Olympic

Games, and you have watched hours of television with Great Britain

winning medals all over the place, how much was that an inspiration to

you as well? Oh, yeah, definitely, especially seeing Mo Farah fall

down, get up, show determination to win his gold medal. You are on that

podium again very shortly, we will talk to you later on. Well done,

Nicola, fantastic. I think the protocol, we are rushing

through it, we had better have a quick chat, Anthony, how worried

were you? The French girl came back in the third round, and the fourth

round was a bit nip and tuck. She'd done what we expected, Nicki was the

counterpuncher, keeping busy, being patient, picking her shots wisely,

but snow fight in yelling that final is going to be easy, you know? The

margins, two of the most elite boxers in the ring together, it was

a very good fight, and I'm really happy with Nicki, the most decorated

amateur we have ever had. You can probably hear there is a stupendous

atmosphere for the next bout, which is the men's bantamweight final, and

going back heaven knows how many generations, the USA against Cuba,

there is something very special about this rivalry, historically,

politically and everything else. Amazingly, the USA have not won in

amateur boxing for three Olympiads, since Athens. So it is Stevenson who

will break that right? This could be the fight of the whole event.

COMMENTATOR: What the matchup we have. The long-standing Olympic

boxing rivalry between Cuba and the USA.

REFEREE: You know the rules, keep your heads up and your punches up.

Protect cells at all times. Shake hands and luck. The referee is

Darren McFarlane with the final instructions. An excerpt -- an

exhilarating bantamweight bout between boxers from the USA and

Cuba. Here we go. The 56 kilograms bantamweight final is being

contested between boxers from the USA and Cuba, the first gold-medal

bout featuring boxers from these nations since Atlanta, 1996. The man

in the front foot, the southpaw, is Robeisy Ramirez. He is the reigning

Olympic champion from the 52 kilograms flyweight division four

years ago in London. The man in red, also a southpaw, Shakur Stevenson,

19 years of age and the number four seed in the tournament. He is yet to

lose in Olympic competition. It is a fantastic matchup between two

skilful operators. Two boxers with similar ability. Both are southpaw

is what speed. They also have a great jab. The lead hand for each

boxer is the strength. Robeisy Ramirez has started better and put

his opponent on the back foot 2-3 times. This Cuban has got the jab of

the tournament and a successful with that lead, the basic of all shots.

He sets matter up with the back can very well after the jab has landed.

His opponent is similar, fast hands, this American. He has a low lead

hand so he is vulnerable to a left hand over the top against a southpaw

opponent. It will shape up to be a cracker, this one. Shakur Stevenson

is still only 19 and was the 20 13th male boxer of the year. He comes in

as a reigning world youth championship gold man -- red list

and reigning junior Olympic champion. Robeisy Ramirez got the

same titles back in 2010. That gives you the idea of how both men had

maybe seamless transition from the injury drags to the seniors. Robeisy

Ramirez looking to put his great experience into play. It is a new

experience for the man in red to be dating somebody this talented. -- to

be facing. Shakur Stevenson is waiting to long. The Cuban has the

tactics spot on, keeping the opponent on the back foot. Stevenson

is quick. He has been beaten to the punch. The Cuban has got more

propriety to stop he can manoeuvre with his feet and is moving his

head. -- got more bird rioted. Ten seconds to go. Both men are

taught at all. I think that will please the score.

He has started the contest well on that front foot. The double jab

sends his opponent backwards. He just misses with that shot. The

Cuban is tricky. He is good on his feet. He has fast hands. Good on the

inside as well, Robeisy Ramirez. He demonstrated it there. Shakur

Stevenson got cot with some shots. This is boxing I am afraid. Let us

look at the scores. Across the board for the Cuban. That is good judging.

REFEREE: Watch your heads, keep your heads up. Into the second round.

Shakur Stevenson came out of the blocks. Defeat came together

momentarily but he used his instincts to get back out of

Puncheon Grange. He conceded the opening round across the board. --

out of punching range. He keeps smiling now and again when he is

caught with big shots. He should be concentrating more. He is crabby on

the inside. Robeisy Ramirez does the better work on the inside. Shakur

Stevenson has been in the company of Floyd Mayweather January, -- Floyd

Mayweather Junior, the money man. He had that incredible record as a

professional and he wants this man in red to be the face of Money

Promotions for years to come. Back one has not decided what his future

holds. He is time to get Olympic gold. He is against a reigning

champion from London four years ago. Shakur Stevenson decided to box

behind both hands, momentarily. Cracking left hand from Stevenson.

Both boxers are more circumspect in this round. Stevenson looking to

overturn the one-point deficit that he faces after the first round from

all three judges. Robeisy Ramirez, on occasion, he can get his

opponents and opportunity. He does elect to hold his feet and weight,

and cover-up to block and repel blows without letting his own off in

school. His approach is better. His movement with defeat is good. The

way that he adjusted his feet. Also the movement from the waist, Robeisy

Ramirez. Better shot from Stevenson. He is getting into the contest now.

So much thought behind each one of these attempted attacks from both

boxers. Look at how they are both being made to mess. They are being

as cautious and thoughtful as they are because a mistake at this level

will be capitalised on instantly. Good two shot salvo to the body from

Stevenson. Those men standing flat-footed even though they are

wonderful movers around the boxing ring. Studying one another, looking

to find that opening, to find a home for their punches.

More success in that round for the man in red. How will the judges see

it? Little bit better from Stevenson. Especially that

last-minute. He is getting to grips with it. He is struggling with the

movement of Robeisy Ramirez, the movement from his waist. He had more

success on the inside, Stevenson. This is the movement from Robeisy

Ramirez. He is clipped on the way out. His approach with that bit of

movement from the waist, it gets him out of trouble. He is a talented

man. Let us look at the scores. Stevenson across the border. It was

a better round. We are in for one hell of a last round.

This 56 kilograms bantamweight gold-medal bout has came down to a

three minute shoot out. The man in blue, Robeisy Ramirez, the reigning

Olympic champion at 52 kilograms from London, took the opening round

3-0. Stevenson responded magnificently to take the second

round by the same margin. We are tied up 19-19 from all judges. This

gold-medal bout has came down to this. Terrific way to jab from

Robeisy Ramirez. Robeisy Ramirez knows he had a bad second round and

is raising the tempo. Can Stevenson go with him? He will go through the

gears. We have seen it many times by the Cubans. A burst of acceleration.

An injection of speed. Stevenson himself is a very fast operator.

This last round, who can find the quality punches, who can raise their

game? Shakur Stevenson, looking to become the first US man to claim

gold in a senior Olympic tournament since Andre Ward, the self-styled

son of God who is undefeated in the professional ranks.

In Shakur Stevenson, they have got a very bright prospect indeed. In this

type of contest, it is very close. We have to be able to push the

opponent back. This is the last round and you have to leave an

impression in the mind of the judges. The fighter on the front

foot will win the contest. You have to get that through to your boxer.

It is Robeisy Ramirez on the front foot, doing the better work. This

American has to despond. He has two races game and pushed the Cuban back

if he is to be the winner. Robeisy Ramirez at there is winning the

round because of that front foot Peche. The left hand from Stevenson

was good and then he got a long straight right to the body. Good jab

again. Effective punch backing from Stevenson who looks at his red

corner, deep inside this third round. Robeisy Ramirez again made to

Ms. He is the Olympic champion from 2012 and he has the speeding is.

That is why he is going for it. Stevenson has to rally with them.

The crew to attempting to go through the gears. Stevenson is looking to

tie up his man. Terrific three shot salvo from Stevenson. The final

right hook to the body was a good shot. Last ten seconds. Who can

produce the grandstand finish? What a contest we have witnessed.

Both men displaying immense concentration. So focused, they made

a laser beam look like a nightly. -- night-light. It was all tied after

two. The last round was tense. It was a classic case of experience

that got Robeisy Ramirez over the line. That was my opinion. He did

the better work on the front foot. This American, Shakur Stevenson, he

is a talent. He was speaking to Floyd Mayweather before the contest.

He needed to box better for me. The body language from both boxers

suggested that Robeisy Ramirez knows that the hazard and I think he boxed

better in the last round. We shall see.

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by split decision and the Olympic

champion... In the blue corner, Shakur

Stevenson. -- 42. -- Robeisy Ramirez. Robeisy Ramirez just

becomes the first man to win medals at bantamweight and flyweight. What

a wonderful accomplishment. Shakur Stevenson experiences a loss for the

first time in Olympic competition. He is just 19 years of age. Whether

at the Olympic boxing ranks of in the professional ranks, we are sure

to see this man again. This moment belongs to Robeisy Ramirez who joins

the five other Cubans who can claim two gold medals in the boxing ring.

A wonderful accomplishment. Robeisy Ramirez is the bantamweight

champion. That was a flamboyant celebration at

the end of a fantastic fight. The energy here is unbelievable. There

is a long has to be between Cuba and the USA. I liked to see all of that

passion and build-up over the last 20 years was displayed. There was so

much technique between the two. Phenomenal fighters and they are so

young. They will be excellent because they have got the job --

long career to develop. The legacy of the boxing in Cuba, he will be a

national hero. The already national heroes due to the fact of Fidel

Castro invested so much time in sport. This is the first time the

USA and Cuba have boxed in over 20 years. I want to see more of these

competitions. This is country versus country, this is the Olympics.

Everyone has to witness this fight. I am glad you did. It was a great

contest. Come back in a few moments time for the gold-medal winning

smile to end all gold-medal moving smiles from Nicola Adams.

It was a fabulous moment will stop another Gold Medal. Let us look at

the table. Britain moving ahead of China. United States out in front

with 39 gold and 106 in total. 26 gold medals for Great Britain and 63

in total, two away... It is extraordinary. We are getting so

close to the greatest ever Olympic Games for British athletes which is

quite something. 9 million of you tuned in last night to watch Great

Britain's women try to win a hockey gold medal for the first time. They

were up against the two-time reigning champions was the

Netherlands. If you think watching at home was tense, what about being

in the stands? We are ready here for blood, sweat

and tears one way or the other. Hold tight, here we go!

The gold medal on the line, it has been intercepted by the Netherlands,

penalty stroke for the Dutch. Oh, it has been saved, Hinch to the rescue,

what a start for the Great Britain goalkeeper! Helen Richardson-Walsh

in the centre of the circle, off the legs, and this time it is scored,

Great Britain are in front, Lily Owsley strikes. We know Holland is

normally school, make sure we keep them out, this is our day. -- score.

The Dutch are inside the circle, inches out, the angle, it is a goal.

Hit, it is a goal for the Netherlands, 2-1 in front.

Great Britain on a rare attack. Now a chance for Cullen, Cullen has

scored! Crista Cullen brings Great Britain level! I have been here 12

hours. Yeah, we wouldn't miss the final. That gold medal is not going

to come easy for any side, all credit to the girls, they are

working very hard. This time they strike, and the Dutch lead. I think

we just need to get the ball up into the 25, we can be really dangerous.

And now they have an opportunity, push forward, and score! Great

Britain level! Adages Nicola White on the far post. -- and it is. Four,

three, two, one! The gold medal game is going to a penalty shoot out. I

have faith in this team, Maddie Hinch can do it, I have so much

confidence in this team, and so do these guys. Let's go, GB, let's go!

Lets go, GB, let's go! First penalty of the shoot out, Helen

Richardson-Walsh on her way, holds it up. Saved and behind.

Bos versus Hinch, Maddie Hinch, absolutely brilliant! Bray brought

down, penalty stroke. Helen Richardson-Walsh scores, Great

Britain are off the mark in the shoot out! Hinch pushes it away.

Watching it every step of the way, she has missed. Hollie Webb scores.

Hollie Webb on her way to win gold for Great Britain. She turns and

scores, it is the golden goal, Great Britain have won the Olympic gold

medal! I am just bursting with pride, I was

very confident, but without Hollie Webb...! I just tried to block out

what it was, the occasion, yeah, just did my job. And now the

captain. Retiring after this Olympics, a gold medal, how can you

finish in anything better than that? We said we wanted to create history

and inspire the future, and we have done that tonight.

The whole squad here with the gold medals around their neck, all of

them watching pictures from the final for the first time, just

extraordinary, amazing scenes, and for most of them the first time they

have seen friends and family in the crowds, and their reactions,

laughing at themselves, but really emotional, they deserve every

plaudit, every single one of them making a contribution to, I think,

one of the greatest results ever in team sports, and Kate

Richardson-Walsh was captain, has been for the last 13 years, you will

have to start having flashbacks about your whole career. I cannot

believe you have showed that video and then expect me to speak! That

video had all the ups and downs of my career, coming back from

adversity, this squad are unbelievable, so proud of every

single one of them. If you could put it down to one thing, what have you

got as a team? It is not just the 16 here, it was the 19, and then the

31, the squad culture, off the back of London, building that thanks to

the national lottery, allowing us to train full-time as professional

athletes, and that is the culmination. This beautiful medal is

worth all of the hard work, the sweat, the tears and blood, yeah.

Talking of the blood actually, Crista Cullen, the warrior, you

essentially scored and came out over retirement to play with this lot.

Amazing, so chuffed, four years ago when I retired, I thought that was

it, then I decided, having watched these girls in the European Cup

Final, beating the Dutch in that emphatic win, I thought, why

wouldn't I give it a try? Does that still hurt? Or do you shake it off?

I am no different to any other hockey player, had a few stitches,

came back on, did what the team needed. That was so impressive to

the people who tuned in, 9 million, the way you take a bash then come

back up. The most popular goalkeeper in British sport, Maddie Hinch,

logos, penalties, great! I absolutely love them, for a

goalkeeper it is a chance to do your bit for the team, why not enjoy it

and make the most of a vice we can have another look at it, nothing got

by you, except the one that came off the post. The post is part of me, in

my opinion! That was a special one for me, I was coming and going, the

girls coming and going, taking the penalties as well, massive team

effort. I know you gave up chocolate as part of your sacrifice to get to

the Olympics, have you had any? I had my first piece this morning, it

was magical! You deserved it. In a penalty shoot out, you need people

who are going to score, Hollie Webb, did you know what you were going to

do? We had done our homework as well, I spoke to Maddie, about what

would work against their keeper, so going into it, I knew what I would

do, I had a plan. You can talk us through what you were thinking, you

knew this would win the gold medal. I am thinking I am up at Bisham

Abbey on the training pitch with no-one around, that is what is going

through my head. Then from this moment, there is nothing in my head,

I don't really know what is going on! But yeah, I cannot really tell

you from then onwards. It was a terrific moment, and the man who

masterminded it is Danny Kerry, incredibly proud of this lot, and

maybe you can sum up better than they can what this means to hockey.

I am really optimistic it will be transformational. After London, we

had a massive spike in numbers of people playing our very inclusive,

beautiful sport, and I hope it will do it again. I think it shows their

resilience, but also their concentration, you refused to let

them get emotional until it was over. Looks can be deceiving, we

were all a bit emotional inside, but we train for these moments, we have

worked hard for these moments, and I think credit to them, they stayed

focused through 14 days of competition, eight matches,

absolutely sensational. Unbeaten, eight out of eight, some

of you are heading to Holland, you may not get the most welcome

reception there! We will have bragging rights, that is all that

matters. How will you look back on these Olympics? With so many fond

memories, such a special group, and what we have done is incredible, all

the hard work that we have put in over many years has paid off, and to

be walking away as Olympic champion... Talking about coming

back from injury, your leg did not look great in the semifinal. No, and

48 hours after that game, not the best, to be honest, but I was

pleased to be doing my bit for the team. Kate has said it is her last

international as captain, what about you? It is something I have been

thinking about over the last few months, and I am not necessarily

saying for definite, but I will not be able to beat this, I'm pretty

sure this will be my last game, bowing out as Olympic champion, you

cannot beat that. You really cannot, congratulations to all of you on

behalf of everyone walking at home, our victorious hockey squad, the

first woman to win a hockey gold medal, it is magnificent. The

highlight of women's sport keep coming, Nicola Adams has

successfully defended her title, and her medal ceremony is coming out

now. So Valencia of Columbia won two gold

medals, leading to the Pan Am games bronze that she won. Representing

the people's Republic of China... So Ren steps up onto the Olympic

medal podium for the second successive games, she came away with

silver after losing in the epic gold medal bout against Nicola Adams,

this time they met at the gold medal stage, and Adams prevailed yet again

on the Olympic stage. Rent -- Ren Cancan receives her second Olympic

medal in the women's 51 kilograms lightweight tournament.

Silver medallist, representing France... Sarah Ourahmoune of

France, the 34-year-old claims her first Olympic medal, reigning World

Championship bronze medallist comes away with silver here at the 2016

Olympic Games, and she competed with everything that she had as she took

Olympic gold, and incredibly tight, often uncomfortable encounter for

Nicola Adams. Once again, the fifth meeting between those two familiar

adversaries, Nicola Adams prevailed, Sarah Ourahmoune continues France's

brilliant boxing tournament here at Rio, claiming silver. The gold

medallist and Olympic champion, representing Great Britain... Nicola

Adams! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

One of the most electrifying smiles in all of sport, beaming from ear to

ear, an acknowledgement of the terrific accomplishment she has just

delivered, Nicola Adams claims a second successive Olympic gold in

the boxing ring and, as a result, joins a pantheon of all-time Olympic

greats, just the 17th boxer to win more than one Olympic title.

Terrific performance by Nicola Adams, gold medallist for the second

successive time in the 51 kilograms flyweight division.

Ladies and gentlemen, the anthem of Great Britain.

The enormity of the competent beginning to sink in for Nicola

Adams, overcome with emotion after hearing the anthem and seen the

union Jack flag raised. The acknowledgement of a second

successive Olympic crown, a wonderful accomplishment. Nicola

Adams continues to smile from air-to-air as the photographers

capture images for prosperity. -- prosperity. Nicola Adams is a

two-time champion of the boxing ring.

She is the most successful amateur boxer for Britain. For all the glory

and the gold medals and the champions, it is the moments of

deepest disappointment that make you realise how much the Olympic Games

matter. For Lutalo Mohammed, he was one second away from gold. Who's

going to take a big crowd? Will be the time for Cisse or the man in

blue, Lutalo Mohammed. Mohammed straightaway put his opponent on his

back, the headshot landing. Impressive stuff. It is anybody's

match now, who wants it most? We go into the last 20 seconds. Mohammed

takes the push kick. 6-4 to the man from Great Britain. Has to keep his

composure. Tries with the diverse turning kick. Cisse from the Ivory

Coast time to produce a miracle. Mohammed on the back foot. One

second away. The tale Mohamed Salah 's is down, blocks and that is a

headshot at the last second from Cisse. The diverse turning kick. The

man from the Ivory Coast finds the victory at the last second. What a

turnaround. Cisse, Olympic champion. I was so close to being Olympic

champion. One of the low points in my life. This is very sad for me. I

am sorry. I could not come home with gold. And he is with me now. So

difficult to watch it back. The first gold medal for the Ivory Coast

and as no surprise that Cisse went bonkers around the stadium. How do

you reflect on it? It was my first time watching it back, actually. It

feels like the emotions have come over me again. Excuse me. It was a

very tough moment at the time and it really felt like the low point in my

life. Since then, I have been overwhelmed by the amount of

support, the great messages I have received from fans back home over

social media, through friends and family and the people walking around

in Brazil. It is completely unexpected and it has made me feel

so much better. I want to see that first, I appreciate the support so

much. Sometimes, that is always when you need it most, not only moment of

success, it is now. And as an athlete, it is from now that you

prove yourself, isn't it? Definitely. The best athletes are

tested. The ones that come through are the ones you remember and talk

about. This is my second time at an Olympics, my second time being on

the podium. I have lots to be proud of and lots to be grateful for. When

you look back at it and when people who do not understand the complexity

of tae kwon do, why can you not go down on the floor and say, do not

touch me as Commissioner Mark I probably should have done that. It

was such a weird moment. I did not think I had been hit. I felt I had

blocked the shot. I looked at the scoreboard was no time left and saw

that his points had gone on. It was a horrible moment of thinking I had

won the Olympic final to realising that I hadn't. You are young, you're

25, aren't you? Yes. How quickly can you reset yourself and what are your

immediate objectives? Right now, I am in Rio so I will enjoy the rest

of my time at the Olympics. I will watch my team-mates today. I will

take some time away from the sport. Just to relax and unwind, look after

some old injuries. When I feel the hunger again, I will take you

step-by-step. I have no immediate plans of tae kwon do but I am sure

it will be my future. Talking about Mahama Cho and Bianca Bogdan, what

chance do you give them? Bianca Walkden is the reigning champion,

two-time Olympic -- European champion. She has a great chance

today. If she stays focused, she will. The same for Mahama Cho, the

Grand Prix champion. Qualified for the Olympics through the European

tournament by outclassing everyone in the division. He is clearly one

of the best in the world and has a great chance of winning gold. I am

just here to do everything I can to support our athletes who have got a

great chance of two more medals today. Although you compete as

individuals, teamwork is important. The model view despite being good at

this the more there are to inspire others. I am not surprised -- shy to

say the Jade Jones gave me a big boost. Seeing her win on the first

day gave us the meant. It pushed me, help me make that final and give me

the determination to make that final. I hope these two guys today

can take something from my performance, or what not to do in

the final. LAUGHTER. Something inspirational. This is already the

best Olympics for tae kwon do for us and we want to add more medals. We

work hard at tae kwon do so we deserve all the medals we can get.

The bronze medal from London and a silver medal from here, you're the

most successful British tae kwon do athlete. I have a lot to be proud of

and I take pride in that fact. It has been fabulous to talk to you

today. For people to see you smile and talk about the future. I know

how much for the last leg. It has been fabulous. -- last night. Enjoy

supporting the others. Thank you for having me. It is extraordinary at

the Olympic Games, a Silver Medal is disappointing but the bronze medal

can make you ecstatic. For the women's 4x100 m relay team, late

last night in the athletic Stadium, a bronze medal was the first British

female athlete since 1984. COMMENTATOR: The final of the

women's 4x100 metres. Britain have not won a medal in this event since

the Los Angeles games in 1984. Away the goal. United States in 11.

Jamaica Aaron Lennon sex and Britain just inside them. Looking for the

changeover and strong from Asha Philip to Desiree Henry. Germany

looking quick but Great Britain and Northern Ireland in a strong

position. -- Jamaica are in lean six. Dina Asher-Smith has it now.

English Gardner handing it off. The United States lead. Jamaica in

second. The United States running for gold. Shelly Ann Fraser Place

for silver. Great Britain for bronze. The United States have it,

it is blisteringly quick. Great Britain have the bronze medal, the

celebrations for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, a new British

record, it is taken into that bronze medal. Look at what it means for

Desiree Henry and the smile on Ascherson -- Dina Asher-Smith. A

bronze medal is a great achievement. The format of them are here now and

still celebrating. Closest to me, Asha Philip, Desiree Henry, Dina

Asher-Smith. This is a new British record. It is a team that has not

been together very long. How do you sum that up? Honestly, it was the

best thing we have done. To fulfil all our dreams, an Olympic final,

there's nothing more I could have asked. National record when it

mattered and that is what we needed to do. And you are also young. Yes,

we are. I am the elders. You have to be proud. We work very hard for

that. We are so excited. We have not seen the coverage so we get to see

how we perform. It feels really good inside. And you still have got the

medal ceremony. This crowd is brilliant. Are you the most

emotional? I really am. I do not know what it is. I gets so

emotional. I knew how hard we had worked. It filled me with so much

ocean crossing the line. I could cry. It was tears of happiness.

An amazing four years, remind everyone about London?

I had the privilege of being one of the seven to light the Olympic

cauldron. And here I am, with an Olympic medal, amazing.

She is emotional. You had a job in London that was rather different to

now. We have been through this story so

many times. I was a kit carrier. Weird to be on the team with so many

superstars but now an Olympic medallist.

You have been flying. Isn't she? Everyone at home loves you. There is

so much more to come. Thanks you. I have worked really

hard, we all have. Last night was a testament to the entire video

programme, and all the other girls here in Brazil and at home, how hard

we have worked together, since January. We believed in each other

and knew we could do it when it counted.

When you handed over the baton, what did you shout?

Go! The Americans were doing their own thing in lane one. Keep going,

keep going! When she crossed the line, I started screaming and

sprinting. To catch up and congratulate her.

We were Olympic medallists. Where were you?

Four years ago I was a junior at the Games held in the Olympic Stadium.

And now I am here with an Olympic medal.

Really exciting. Usain Bolt was making his final Olympic appearance.

You will be not long before or after his medal ceremony tonight. Amazing

to think he will be sitting at home watching you guys.

It is special to be part of his closing to the Olympics.

He has been part of my entire athletics career. A great

inspiration to me. Was it him that made you want to be

a sprinter? I saw him and felt, I would love to

be at the Olympics one day and do what he has done. And I have an

Olympic medal. I am on my way there. How close can you get to the

Jamaicans? Three years ago we grabbed a bronze

medal in Moscow. Last year in Beijing, we ran 42. This year, 41.

We keep working hard, getting faster individually, believing in each

other. Who knows? We could be up there.

When are you expected to peak, when our sprinters at their best?

I would say 25, 20 six. We have a while to go.

We have an extremely young team. We have a medal which proves this is

the age... Not everyone. We are getting started. We are

looking for Tokyo with medal hopes and challenging for the gold medal.

I predict your peak will be at 29! Technically my body is about their

age, I would say I am the same age. In the running years you are

younger. A fabulous bronze medal, enjoy the

ceremony tonight. Thanks you for everything you have done to inspire

others to follow in your footsteps. Get inspired!

Thank you to the National Lottery. Get inspired is our sports campaign

you. Get inspired and get active.

Fabulous talking to them, I love this.

This is what is still to come, another gold medal possibly for

Cuba. The quarterfinals of the taekwondo.

On the Red Button, the diving ten metre platform, the best of it here

as well. The football final, Brazil versus

Germany, and potential semifinals for Bianca and Mohammed Cho.

The men's football final is in full on BBC Four.

Tonight at 1:30am, Mo Farah is looking to cement his place as one

of the great long-distance runners. The 5010,000m, longest journeys of

the track. Lap after lap, again and again. The names that sit in the

memory recent and distance, Haile Gebrselassie, it seemed so simple to

them, but that is a lie. Minutes on the tracks are days of long miles

and hard graft and with the race itself, with that fluent ease comes

pain. Even those greats have limits, only

one other man has before done the double double. Come through that

pain to success on the other side in the Olympic 10,000m and the 5000m

relay the four years later, then done it again.

COMMENTATOR: Defends the title wonderfully well, they are not going

to beat him. The greatest distance runner in the world proves it beyond

doubt. The flying Finn of the 1970s of

Munich and Montreal. Now, now there is Mo Farah trying to

match that feat and earning comparisons with the best of the

past. How to compare two men 40 years apart, was the feet great

having to pass through sapping heat in the 10,000m before racing for

gold over both distances? Mo Farah, already has a double

double of world titles, but that is a prize created after that time.

So don't compare, simply admire. With the very best we perhaps lose

our perspective. Too much success and it is diminished more some --

more makes it somehow less. Remember, this is never easy. Only

near the end when the prize is near do we see that mask slip and the

pain and effort that lies beneath. The effort that brings Mo Farah now

close to Olympic gold again, and again, one more time.

He fell down in the 10,000m, got up and won gold. He stumbled in the

5000m relay, he will run for gold at 1:30am.

More like boxing still to come, could it be another gold medal for

Cuba? Here is John. A fight between Cuba

and Uzbekistan coming up. Time we heard again from Nicola

Adams, another gold medal for Great Britain. After she had time to

reflect, she came to speak to us again.

You have had time to reflect a bit. How does being Olympic champion

twice compared with being Olympic champion just the once?

Definitely, it is what dreams are made of. I started crying, I haven't

cried in so long. That shows how much it really means to me. It means

everything. The last four years of hard work has paid off for this

moment. When you woke up this morning, where

you nervous, confident, excited? A bit of everything. Confident,

excited, looking forward to it. But I was ready. When people look at

your CV, the thing that strikes you is, worked as an extra on Emmerdale

and Coronation Street to make ends meet. Does that seem so far away you

can't imagine it, or is there still a bit of that time that inspires you

now? Definitely. I look back on the hard

times, that is what make you propel forward. It gives me the drive and

ambition to keep on moving forward, keep creating history. I'd like to

say thank you to everyone who supported me.

One last question, you are on this list of famous Olympians who have

won two back-to-back Olympic gold medals. A very thin list who have

won three, do you fancy that? Definitely.

You will keep going? I need to think first, go on holiday, we left this

longer before I decide what I will do.

Many congratulations, the country have loved this.

Thank you. Nicola Adams still smiling.

Actually, we had a lot of tears on the podium when Ramirez, the Cuban,

was looking at his national flag and the enormity of what he had done,

winning back-to-back gold medals at different weight divisions finally

consumed him. Another Cuban, Lopez against his

Uzbekistan opponent in the men's 75 kilograms category.

Every four years that comes around, we look at Cuban boxing and realise

the tradition they have there, Anthony, is what keeps breeding the

next generation. Definitely. A decision to stay

amateur and represent their country, or defects and turned professional.

When these guys stay in their country training, Olympics after

Olympics, the experience they gain is so good.

Some of the guys, we strike when the iron is hot.

These guys live a different lifestyle.

We have seen them time and again at the Olympics, they are getting

better. Just like James Degale, Price. They wanted to do great

things as professionals. But like the computer -- but like the tubers,

they stay as parameters to represent their country.

The last final on the penultimate day of the boxing tournament in Rio.

Let us enjoy it. We are underway. This battle of

southpaws, what a matchup in prospect, the man wearing red, the

reigning gold medallist, Arlen Lopez, a cracking lead right hand.

The man in blue is the reigning World Championship silver medallist,

Bektemir Melikuziev. What is important for Melikuziev,

Ron, is the boxes at his pace. Through this tournament, Lopez, this

Cuban, is exceptional. He always slows the opponent's pace down, the

boxes at his pace. It is very important Melikuziev on that front

foot, he takes it to the Cuban and boxes at his pace. Lopez prefers

that slower tempo. Let us face it, he has hardly broken

sweat in the earlier rounds. Melikuziev has two upped the tempo

and push the Cuban and force him maybe to box at a pace he is not

used to. As you said, Lopez has had it all

his own way through the tournament so far, the number one ranked boxer

in the world, getting through with a good shot to the body. In his first

contest in the second preliminary round, he produced the knockout of

the tournament, is single left hand from that southpaw stance.

It laid his opponent out on the canvas. The referee calling off the

contest. We know he is a talent, Lopez.

Sometimes come he goes from all the dots to southpaw and you cannot tell

if he is a natural southpaw or a natural orthodox boxer. That is how

good this Cuban is, he does both stars extremely well. Melikuziev,

this is not a bad start, boxing at his pace.

We know Lopez is good, both styles. Some nice movement from the waist.

The "Marvellous" Marvin Hagler against sugar Ray Leonard, we

couldn't tell whether he was a natural left or right. He asked for

his autograph to determine which was his natural stance.

Lopez, not discernible. He is so adept at either boxing stance.

Effective work to the body from Lopez. Melikuziev as is his wand, on

his toes. Bouncing in and out. Lopez, such an

accurate punch picker, that is a good left hand to the body before

the bell. That is the problem and Melikuziev

faces when it comes to launching attacks. Lopez is a talent, like you

said. But there's not a lot of movement with his feet. He's very

accurate with his shots. But was a lovely body from Melikuziev. Look at

that, around the garden of his opponent. He's got a fairly relaxed

guard, Melikuziev. Slow on his feet but accurate with his punches. One

hitting the target, the other just skimming. Let's have a look at these

scores now. It's Lopez across the board. Melikuziev seem to be boxing

at his post, but the judges preferred the accurate work from the

Cuban. -- at his pace. So, back to me Melikuziev, the

number three ranked in the world has started very quickly indeed in this

second round having conceded the first round unanimously. Just 20

years of age. The two men engaging on a trade off right on top of the

logo. Even with that style of boxing, you just see Lopez there, he

still has the experience and the knowledge to keep those hands up

when he's boxing on the inside. He is letting the punches go, but he

does the basics very well. He's got a naturally good guard. Blocking

shots on the inside, and he still gets his hands up to his chin to

block anything that comes back from quite a dangerous opponent here.

But, again, better work from Lopez on the inside. Even under that heavy

fire, the expression of Lopez seemingly doesn't change. Incredibly

calm, incredibly poised. Melikuziev now on the back foot, looking to

launch attacks from the outside but not before taking a good right hand

to the body, countered with a body shot of his own. Lopez just

targeting that body. Again, good work on the inside. Holding his

feet, preparing to take shots on the elbows. Gets caught that, but you

watch 's work downstairs, this Cuban. -- you watch his work

downstairs. Hurting downstairs, slows those feet. Melikuziev, plenty

of work but a lot of the shots are inaccurate. The arms, better work

from Lopez. A good car thing right hook by the man in red. Melikuziev

elected to hold his feet and try to engage in an exchange. -- a good

cuffing right hook. Melikuziev comes in as a reigning youth champion and

reigning Olympic Games champion. A wonderful transition made through to

the senior ranks. Here you are looking to get a measure of revenge

over the man who outpointed him to Championships last year. Melikuziev

is making too many mistakes here. He is missing the target and then is

way out of position. His hands are too low. About the quality opponent

like Lopez, you can't afford to do that. Melikuziev is going for it,

putting everything into every shot. When he misses the target, his guard

is the problem. That is when he's open. Lopez back with the quality

shots. Just downstairs, just mix about shot to the body. A good left

hand to the body in response from Melikuziev. The shots attempted

upstairs were blocked effectively by the gloves and form of Lopez.

Getting physically now, increasingly so. Lopez remaining naturally calm

under that heavy assault of punches. This it's just a little bit neater

on the God of the Cuban. He is blocking shots on the Alberta and

the arms. But wasn't a bad shot from Melikuziev. -- a bit neater on the

God of the Cuban. -- blocking shots on the elbow. Across the board,

Melikuziev is trying to box on the outside, on the inside. But I think

his defence is a little bit leaky and Lopez is exposing that.

Some five seconds had elapsed before this third and final round actually

got underway. Back to me Melikuziev, in blue, is trailing by two points

on all cards. Trying to turn this final round into a firefight because

he needs aim massive round just to get back on terms. Look at the

hurtful body shots being sent in by both boxers. But particularly

accurate singles from the man in red. Melikuziev is going for it, you

have to give him great credit. He would probably get away with it for

other opponents, but when he misses the target his hands are a little

bit low. That is when Lopez comes back. The Cuban's accuracy is the

difference. Sharper, hitting the target. Melikuziev may have got away

with it against lower-level opposition. But this fellow is of

the highest quality. They have been called out to expect what we think

is an injury around the left eye. Still not able to get a clear look

at it. It's been a litany of cuts suffered by the boxes in this, the

first games where the men are without head guards since Moscow

1980. -- the boxers. It might have been a clash of heads, there was a

lots of punches thrown also. Arlen Lopez over in the opposite neutral

corner. He will have 45 seconds in which to tend to that cut. But 15

second -- thereof 30 seconds to go. We will hear another double clapper

in a few seconds giving him an idea of where he is in his allotted time.

It looks like the cut is above the eye, which is a problem because the

blood then runs into it and impairs the box's vision. If only they could

stop the flow of blood. It looks like they have. -- be boxer's

vision. The third and final round reviews. Arlen Lopez, the man in

red, the reigning World Champion in a commanding position in this bout.

Coming into the third and final round he had a 2-point lead across

the board having taken the first two round unanimously. A terrific right

hand from Lopez who is trying to put Cuba on a par with Great Britain and

the USA by making it five gold medals for his country in the

middleweight division. A total Great Britain and the USA have already

acquired. The volume of punches are definitely coming from the man in

blue. The single eye-catching shots from Lopez. He's boxing a clever

contest in close quarters here, Lopez. Keeping the guard high,

blocking lower shots. He's waiting for an opportunity. That was a

perfect punch from Lopez. Melikuziev still trying to find the finishing

shot. He is unlikely to outboxed this man to the tune of 10-8 that he

needs. The time, remember, will be on the side of Arlen Lopez given

that he is in such a commanding position. A good right hook again on

the inside. Melikuziev, as he is trying to launch his own flows, more

direct punches are picking him off, beating him to the punch

consistently from Lopez. What Lopez has done now, he is going to slow

his feet down. Melikuziev goes for a walk. That is seating Lopez with

those better quality shots from the inside. A good effort from

Melikuziev, he has just been out punched in close quarters.

Melikuziev is not able to launch one final rallying deep into that third

and final round. Arlen Lopez will occupy top spot on the medal podium

in the men's 75 kilograms middleweight division. A terrific

performance by the reigning World Championship gold medallist. And a

repeat victory over the talented youngster from Uzbekistan, back to

me Melikuziev, who will come away with silver. -- lobectomy

Melikuziev. Super from Lopez, fought about his

defence to block shots on the inside. Against a fairly aggressive

Melikuziev. And Lopez is a talent, he can box at range, he can box on

the inside, he has power. Great balance and accuracy. A very

talented man indeed and a deserving winner.

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by unanimous

decision. Arlen Lopez seemingly overcome with emotion at claiming

Olympic gold in the 75 kilograms middleweight division. The reigning

World Champion becomes the Olympic champion with a series of

practically punch perfect displays throughout the course of the

tournament. He becomes the fifth Cuban to claim middleweight gold,

putting them on a par with Great Britain and the USA. That is why he

is acknowledging all sides of the arena here at Riocentro Pavilion 6.

Spare a thought from Melikuziev, just 20 years of age. He adds

Olympic silver to his World Championship silver. At the moment

belongs to Lopez who is the champion.

STUDIO: another great day for Cuban boxing with two more medals. That

was tight, but you think he just got it? Yes, really tight play. First

round I was like, hang on. Uzbekistan did well. They were

unpredictable. But feeling Cuba fight, I seemed to find his range

and his distance. Then he started building round by round. It was

really close but for me that was the right decision. One final reflection

on Nicola Adams earlier on today? You live within the boxing world.

How much does she do for the sport as a whole? Micky Adams, boxing is

known as a grim, grass roots, tough sport. Which it did. But Nicola

desert with a smile on her face, with personality and charisma.

Appeals to everyone from used adults. Nicola has changed it in the

sense that she invites people in. -- for youths to adults. When Nicola is

achieving we should all be smiling because she is bringing attention to

the sport of boxing. Can you see a second gold medal for Britain

tomorrow? Big Joe Joyce, the steam train. There is nothing stopping the

man. Except himself! He has got the resilient people eating out of the

palm of his hand. He's got my support, he's got so much energy.

All he has to do is go in and do what he does. He has a tough

opponent from France with a great jab behind, but for me a great jab

isn't enough to stop Joe Joyce. We will find out tomorrow. Good to see

you, we'll be back on ringside tomorrow. Can this boxing

competition in Rio end on the grandest of all finale finale for

Great Britain? -- of all finales. All the hard work that Joe Joyce has

put in over the last four years could come to fruition tomorrow

night and he could provide Team GB with a last gold medal of these

games. 7:15pm tomorrow will be that gold medal fight. We hoped tonight

would be a diving spectacular featuring Tom Daley but it did not

go to plan. He qualified for the semifinals in first position, but it

all went wrong. COMMENTATOR: the men's semifinal of

the ten metre platform. First dive for Tom Daley, the man who lead in

the preliminaries. Not as good as yesterday, but good enough. I would

like to see him not quite as good in this semifinal. I want to see him

diving well, but I want to see him just backing off the gas. Round two.

Let's see what we can do with this 3.6 dive. This is his newest dive.

Not the rotational speed he is used to. Drops a bit like a stone. On to

round three. If this goes well, he will rocket up the standings. Tom

needs to get moving. No, not yet. He is way off the standings at the

moment. But she can make it back. -- but he can make it back.

This is better from Tom. Not as good but an improvement which is what we

want to see. Over 30 points Tom Daley had to make

up to get into the top 12. It is achievable but will take some doing.

OK, the reparation job has two start here and had to start with this.

Yesterday, he got ten on this dive. To get himself out of the mire.

That will help a lot. But we are still way in the danger zone.

Here we go with Round 6, final round of the semifinal. Tom Daley come it

is down to you, do you have what it takes to get 101 points to get level

with 12th, the biggest dive of your life. Coming up right now.

No, that is it. Unbelievable. We did not predict this. Tom Daley winning

by a country mile yesterday. Today in the semifinals, not making it

through. What an awful day at therefore Tom.

An Olympic bronze medallist in the synchro, but he will be devastated.

Tom Daley finishes in 18th place. What a reversal in fortunes.

Yesterday, the best. Today, the worst.

Commiserations, we can see what it means to you.

What happened? I have worked so hard these past four years.

Yesterday, I got an Olympic record, the highest score in an Olympic

Games. Today, it wasn't meant to be. You

know, I truly am heartbroken because I really do feel like I am in peak

physical condition and I could go out there and have won tonight. It

is hard to accept how it went today. Your team-mates would argue this is

the most stressful sport, the most high pressure, add to that the

expectations. What is going through your head on that board?

I am completely present in the moment, enjoying each moment.

Today, things weren't clicking. I was soaked up for it. Cheney was

really good. In the competition, it fell apart -- I was so up for it.

I am happy Howard Team GB has done, it makes be proud to be part of Team

GB. -- happy Howard Team GB has done.

It wasn't meant to be. Another four years of hard work now.

It didn't feel any different. I felt good in myself. My mind and body

word connecting. I worked out I needed 9.2, and gave

it my all but it didn't happen. It did happen last week, you have

won bronze medal. Not a write-off. Pretty successful in that sense. I

am really happy. After 2012I came away with a bronze medal. I got a

bronze medal in synchro with Dan. We worked hard. I really wanted that

gold medal this time. There is always another four years.

Tokyo is in your sites? Yes, even more than ever now. Tom,

you have done so much for the profile of the sport. You have an

army of fans. I can see why you are upset but

don't be heartbroken. It is heartbreaking because it is

the Olympic Games. Those five rings on the wall mean so much to me.

To not be in the final to get a shot for those medals is heartbreaking.

A good story for Tokyo. You know films, it gives a better

narrative. I will work even harder than before.

Tom Daley, so emotional. Leon Taylor, you must feel as bad as he

does, that was a major shock. Tom used the word heartbroken

several times, that sums it up. He was diving farewell yesterday.

But he couldn't connect. It is like a radio frequency, when it is tuned

in, but slightly out, that is where Tom was all day.

It was very windy this morning. Now it has started to rain.

Conditions shouldn't have been a factor?

No, Tom quite rightly said it is one of those things. 171 points

differential between yesterday and this morning which is huge.

Not like running, where you are on form.

This dive is where it starts to go wrong, his fireworks dive.

In training it was exceptional. Here, his take-off was weak, he

looked lacklustre. Dive after dive, it was getting more

woeful. He left himself too much to do on

that final dive. It was mathematically possible but you

cannot make that many mistakes no matter who you are.

I really felt him. I felt physically sick afterwards. Only a fraction of

what Tom was feeling. I applaud him for doing those interviews, the last

thing he wanted to do. You heard it from him, I am

definitely doing Tokyo, his fourth Olympic Games.

I am delighted to hear him say that with such determination.

He worked so hard, he will be back. In terms of the British diving

squad, there is much to celebrate. Even though this is the end of it,

this is not the last chapter in the story.

Let us reflect, we have our first ever Olympic gold medal. Three

medals. Tom has one of them. Let us celebrate everything that is British

diving, get it on the TV more. There will be so many stories between now

and Tokyo. Everyone at home will be

disappointed not to see Tom in the final.

For what he has done for British diving, how big an influence has he

been? It was Beijing at the age of 14 that

he shot to superstardom. His first Olympic Games, finishing

seventh. Onwards from there. His results

speak for themselves, what he has done for the sport is incredible.

Across all events, men and women, the results in Rio have been

astonishing. I am proud of the entire team.

I will let you go off for the ten metre platform final.

Who do you think will win it? A send ten. He was sensational in

the semifinal. -- Aisen Chen. A grey day in Rio but a lot of sport

to bring you which won't be affected by the weather.

The British team, the sun continues to shine on their performances.

Bill Sweeney, chairman of the British Olympic Association joins me

now. That smile cannot have been far away

from your face for the last 15 days. A history making Games for us, we

came here with the desire to be the best away team.

And the range of sports. We have 26 gold medals in 15 sports, four more

sports than any other country, a testament to the investment from UK

sport and the National Lottery. Did you ever think you would look at

and Ms -- a medal table and the Great Britain ahead of China?

Brilliant. 24 hours to go still. Lovely to see that.

The USA in front but those 39 goals have come in 11 different sports.

Great Britain's have come in 15 different sports.

You take in the success rate of the USA in the swimming pool, and we

should be more impressed by the British team, compared to countries

with much bigger populations. We invest while in sport but we

wouldn't necessarily invest numbers wise as much as some countries. Is

it down to strategic investment? I do. It is a case of patients, this

has been coming for 20 years. If by chance we hit at 66, we will be the

first nation to have five consecutive Games growth.

It is starting to pay off. Where were you in 1996 when Great Britain

had only one gold medal? Probably overseas. A sad moment. The

nation said, we are better than that, we are a better sporting

nation. We had the National Lottery funding

coming in. British sport is made up of

different moving parts, UK sport, us, the national governing bodies

who have done a fantastic job bringing the talent in.

A real team effort. Have a look at the grass in terms of

the speed and rate at which these medals have been won, consistently

above what was happening in London. I don't think anybody thought that

would happen. Looking back to the beginning of the

Games, people with limited views saying I can't get excited about

silver and bronze. The gold medals started to come.

Even the beginning was more successful than London.

There were high points throughout the Games, big names delivering,

Andy Murray, Justin Rose, the cyclists.

Then a 16-year-old Amy Tinkler who hasn't even got her GCSE results.

And Sophie Hitchon in the hammer. That lifts the entire camp.

Anything is possible. And hockey last night and the goals with that

amazing game. You think, the gods are smiling.

This is our Games. A lot has to do with peaking at the right time. The

coaching setup, the nutrition side, sports science has to be spot on.

Absolutely. The margins between victory and failure are the margins

which are so minute. At the worlds at the velodrome in

London, the Australians pipped us. The cycling team said, we will get

them in Rio because we are planning to peak in Rio.

Hats off to walk the performance directors and team leaders across

the sports. They are getting the results.

When will you plan for Tokyo? We have been there three times in

the past 12 months, officials from Tokyo this morning, there in

September to sign up for the pre-Games prep camp.

The momentum has started. Fabulous, many congratulations to

everyone involved. Thank you, great being here. Still

to come this evening. Live handball, one in which Balint has not yet won

a medal. -- Britain. Then Mahama Cho at 8:15pm. Followed

by Bianca Walkden, the world champion, at 8:30pm in her

quarterfinal. We hope they make it through to the semifinals which will

be at 9:30pm. The ten metre platform final you can

follow that on the Red Button from 8:30pm.

The football we are showing you in full from 9:30pm, Brazil versus

Germany. Athletics tonight is worth staying

up for, 1:30am. Before all that, the women's

handball final is underway. France beat the Netherlands by one point in

the semifinals. Russia went to extra time to beat

the reigning champions Norway. Here is all you need to know about how

the sport works. Olympic handball is a fast flowing

in a high-scoring, body contact game played over two halves of 30

minutes. Played by two teams of seven players, six outfield players

and a goalkeeper. Each goal is surrounded by a semicircle indicated

by a lane six metres from goal. Only the defending goalkeeper is allowed

in this area. Players can move with a ball by

dribbling and passing in the same way a basket ballplayer with. They

can block with their head, chest, thighs and knees but players cannot

stand still with a ball for more than three seconds at a time.

If a player commits a foul, the referee can award if free throw or

seven metre shot. Taken from the seven metre line and given when the

referee rules someone has prevented a goal-scoring opportunity.

A free throw is like a free kick in football and generally taken from

the spot where the foul occurred. Overtime is only played during the

knockout phase. If this happens, teams play five minutes extra and

only take another five bits if the school is tight.

If they are still tied at the end, the result is decided by a shoot

out. Neither of these sides have won a

gold medal in handball before. Keep an eye on the Russian coach, his

pitch side antics have gone viral in Russia. Russia are in blue. Paul

Bray and Jack Nichols are your commentators.

COMMENTATOR: so, forefront the pace has slowed. It is the right thing to

do. Number 10 in the middle is just one goal from ten. Wasn't used at

all in the semifinal. Grace Zaadi find the line. Stopped her from

turning, but that is the third and final yellow card for the Russians.

It was causing all manner of problems at the back for the line

player. A very nice connection. The two who will be together next year

after a move from Nice. Let's have a look as Lacrabere connect.

So, Lacrabere has been quiet with the shooting. It is almost as if she

is afraid of taking the shot for the moment. She is looking for the line.

Probably she has the hardest shot in the French team. Well cut out this

time. This is pushed up deep on her. Zaadi, right the keeper. She is

pushed down. Good once more. The winger is doing a good defence job

at the back for Russia. Comes out again. That was a flat ball through.

Now they have got the win free. It wasn't a great pass, what a shame.

They have to start again. It just needed a clean finish. Both teams

making changes between and defence. Caught from behind, that will be

off. Lacrabere has already had 80 minutes worth of suspensions in the

competition. -- Edwige has already had 80 minutes of suspensions in the

competition. She gets her first in the final. The Russian coach is not

want to stay quiet on the bench. Bellowing instructions. Midway

through the first off, Russia lead 4-3. Dominated by strong defending

on both sides. There is Lacrabere. She gets back up to her feet, having

been dropped to the ground. And conceding the foul. Here it is

again. A little push their and ends up on her back. Quite a heavy

landing, actually. The coach is just getting his opinion across. It is

Russia who have got the player advantage here because the French

are now six, trying to wriggle in. Another chance from the seven metre

line for Vyakhireva. She also caught her our medical bit. Well done

Bobrovnikova. The Russian goalkeeper has saved only one penalty. Four

from four so far. 60 minutes played. France 3-5 Russia in the gold-medal

match here. After a great favour last time from Leynaud, nowhere near

getting that one. Bags come France they have changed now on the left

wing. Demebele has been replaced after the captain only scored one

from three. Prouvensier is coming back round. A three throw.

Francois can bring on the seventh player, and there is the effort from

Demebele. Ambitious, more than anything. Maybe it would have helped

to have waited a couple of seconds. -- there is the effort from

Prouvensier. Rattled into the back of the net, a thumbs up because

Russia now have a 3-goal advantage. Russia 3-6 -- Russia 6-3 France.

Russia are moving quickly from one side to the other. France comeback

trailing 3-6 in the 18th minute of the final in the Rio 2016 women's

handball competition. Deep defence by the Russians waiting at nine

metres. For France, Pineau is back after being wounded in an earlier

incident. She seems none the worse for it. She is a veteran playmaker.

Here she comes. Haven't quite managed to exert her authority on

the game. Neither has Lacrabere. That is a penalty. She wish after

she came through. There it was. Vyakhireva trying to intercept, but

to no avail. Up starts Pineau. Pineau converts it. The first

penalty of the match for France. Pineau find a way past Pineau in the

goal. Tucked it into the bottle right -- to write and Pineau scores.

Russia 6- forefront with just 11 minutes to go in this first half.

Incomes Bliznova. Hands it over to Bobrovnikova who we haven't seen

much of. She has scored 27 goals in the tournament so far. It was

Marennikova who was brought down, and another penalty for Russia.

Marennikova is normally a wing player but she has been used it on

the line quite a few times by the Russian coach. They still win the

penalty and Ilina comes once more to the metre line. A top corner.

Started to go down, Ilina knew nothing about that one. Put away

very nicely. The second penalty score. The keeper goes down and

offers her the top spot. Ilina says, thank you, I will do it. Well played

by Ilina. France resume. Pineau has switched her left back position. The

shot is just not ranged at all. We are past the 20 minute mark in the

final. For Russia, so far so good. Not a lot of goals for them. But

they managed to score seven times. More to the point, they have

restricted France to just four goals in 20 minutes.

Lots of changes by Russia at the back and they do have an

embarrassment of choices. Bobrovnikova is the one who has come

on now. A long-range shot of the post, but it has comeback for Russia

on the rebound. Bliznova! But we have players lying inside and the

whistle is blowing. The referee waves everybody out. Here is the

incident again. Two going for the ball. Bliznova has been brought

down. Frustration for Russia because they looked to be in a good position

out on the right wing. But with the body lying around there were no

defenders. France are defending big and defending strong at the moment.

And the arm is up. Friends only have six passes and they have had a

couple of those already. -- France only have six passes. Time-out is

called by the Russians. Let's see what Trefilov has displayed to his

team. Three goals up. So, the French coach looking to

shuffle his players around a little bit. Telling them to make sure they

work in their line, keep to their line of attack. Driving in on each

side rather than across into each of the's way. Play is still running for

the Russians may have used up some of the six passes allowed after the

referee's and goes up. They know they have got to shoot soon. This

may eat up one more pass, then the Russians will end up with one

passing shot. Lacrabere stares at the referee, trying to will her to

count one extra pass. He is still worried about a faulty substitution

that! Look at this. A big smile from the captain. Russia with a four goal

advantage. It comes France. It is saved by the feet of Erokhina.

Niombia try to make something to happen. Niombia just a little bit

behind Pineau, but she manages to get there anyway. Penalty given.

Russia disagree with that decision, but there we go. A bit of a push. I

think our argument was with her team-mates saying, why did no one

call it? She has got to mark a back player and now she is having to

track Pineau. Lacrabere to take it. Pineau who has just come into goal

tries to save it, but Lacrabere stays cool. She has taken 23 minutes

for that. She waits for her to commit herself, then between arm and

leg. We need more from Lacrabere now. Finally off the mark. There

comes Vyakhireva. A free-throw given. Russia still with the ball,

here they come. A long shot. Saved again by Leynaud. Now France try and

come forward with them pace. Back inside to Pineau. Pineau is out on

the right wing. What a good game Leynaud is having, though. Leynaud

is certainly influential for France, and keeping them in contention. The

Russians are dropping slightly. France are upping the tempo again as

they look for options on the line. Niombia has returned. Marennikova

gives away the free-throw. The whistle has gone, they will have

two, all the way back. It is a free-throw France. A delayed whistle

by the Norwegian referees. I penalty! Well, she was having to

turn her whole body. She was running away from the goal, trying to turn

in midair. I she did so, she was caught awkwardly. France have a

penalty. She managed to get past and did very well. She engineered

something out of almost nothing there. Trefilov, well, need we say

more? Now, France get the gap back to two

goals and for the next two minute they will have a player advantage.

If they can withstand this Russian attack, that is what it means to

Lacrabere, in her third Olympic Games.

With a short-handed Russians, the French are defending. A free throw,

they thought they surely they had the break. Quina is still shaking

her head. The bench are saying, forget it. -- Pinot macro. --

Pineau. Lacrabere did well. She will go back

for the free throw. A clear shot on goal otherwise.

Shouldering first. Aygion-Saurina rightly going back.

A good block by Kuznetsova macro in the way.

Nicely played into the wing. The wing problems with France continue,

this time on the left side. Dembele comes up, short-sighted.

I think the goalkeeper is almost as bright as everyone else.

It's just logged slowly over her shoulder. Almost sent by second

class post. Landre finds the back of the net,

her first goal of the net. 17 of the Competition Commission in the fifth

of France. France back within one goal, they have taken good advantage

of the power play. The ball has gone out. France have
