Day 15 Highlights

:00:52. > :00:57.Hello, a very good evening to you. A lot of live sport to enjoy across

:00:58. > :01:05.the real Olympic Games this evening. We will go to Gaby very shortly.

:01:06. > :01:09.These are the night's headlines... Boxer Nicola Adams claimed

:01:10. > :01:17.back-to-back Olympic gold medals to continue the GB gold rush in Rio.

:01:18. > :01:29.Liam Heath also climbed the top step of the podium with gold in the K-1

:01:30. > :01:33.200m. As we saw a short time ago, triathlon bronze for Vicky Holland,

:01:34. > :01:39.edging out compatriot and housemate Non Stanford in the sprint finish.

:01:40. > :01:43.Sadly, no medal celebration for Tom Daley, however. He failed to qualify

:01:44. > :01:52.for the individual ten metre platform final. So, in Baille's

:01:53. > :02:01.absence, it was the Chinese athlete who claimed the gold medal. -- Daly.

:02:02. > :02:08.A few moments ago, this happen. Look at that... Neymar of Brazil have

:02:09. > :02:09.beaten Germany 5-4 on penalties. 7-1 defeat four years ago in the World

:02:10. > :02:20.Cup final. And South Korea's Inbee Park became

:02:21. > :02:25.only the second female Olympic golf gold medallist with a dominant five

:02:26. > :02:33.stroke victory. Great Britain's Charley Hull finished the rightful

:02:34. > :02:37.Southern. -- tied for seventh. It is the final night of the track and

:02:38. > :02:40.field. Let's drawing Gaby Lopez. Last night we had a wonderful

:02:41. > :02:47.evening watching Usain Bolt get the triple trouble. Let's find out if Mo

:02:48. > :02:53.can do the double double as he continues his incredible journey. A

:02:54. > :03:04.story of human movement. Twin boys are born

:03:05. > :03:11.in Mogadishu, Somalia. Eight years later one twin

:03:12. > :03:15.moves to London. Destroying them in the home

:03:16. > :03:38.straight, double European champion! He must change - change routine,

:03:39. > :03:40.change coach, change everything. It becomes the motion picture

:03:41. > :04:09.of the age, to be repeated Mo Farah is the world

:04:10. > :04:21.champion again! Five world titles,

:04:22. > :04:24.to be sensational. What comes next in this story

:04:25. > :04:29.of human movement? Already among the greats,

:04:30. > :04:37.can he now pull clear? Good evening and welcome

:04:38. > :04:52.to the final session of the athletic at this stadium, the marathon

:04:53. > :04:58.tomorrow morning which means we cannot say the athletics

:04:59. > :05:03.is completely finished this evening, but the track will close

:05:04. > :05:06.the business in a few hours time. Will a close with Mo Farah

:05:07. > :05:08.taking away his time. Will a close with Mo Farah taking

:05:09. > :05:11.away his fourth Olympic medal? We shall see in just

:05:12. > :05:13.about an hour's time. Paula, Denise and Michael

:05:14. > :05:15.alongside me as usual, we are all very excited and the four

:05:16. > :05:19.x 400 metre, and the women's 800 metre, the men's 1500 metre,

:05:20. > :05:21.and we have the javelin But Paula, we should really put

:05:22. > :05:29.in context here just how difficult this is going to be,

:05:30. > :05:40.and what achievement it is, because we have to go

:05:41. > :05:42.back to Lasse Viren achieved what Mo Farah

:05:43. > :05:45.is hoping to do. It is the enormity of what he is

:05:46. > :05:48.trying to achieve. In fairness, the last

:05:49. > :05:49.time it involved heats, the fact that Mo Farah

:05:50. > :05:52.did the double in 2012, he did the 10,000 metres in Beijing,

:05:53. > :05:55.then he came back from a disappointing year

:05:56. > :05:57.for him, in 2015, and did To come here and to have stayed

:05:58. > :06:07.so healthy and strong and unbeatable over four years,

:06:08. > :06:09.that is a huge achievement, and I think it is going to be really

:06:10. > :06:13.tough, but I think he is capable He does look tired, but he just

:06:14. > :06:25.really needs to go into the race and I think he will be able

:06:26. > :06:28.to control it because where he has got to now is the rest of the field

:06:29. > :06:32.can not believe that they can beat Mo Farah, so they cannot organise

:06:33. > :06:35.themselves as a team. The Ethiopians possibly,

:06:36. > :06:42.they know he has got to be tired... 2011 he won his first world gold,

:06:43. > :06:49.then his Olympic double, and then another world double,

:06:50. > :06:52.then another world double. You have a world record

:06:53. > :06:56.in the 10,000 metres but unable to win the 5000 metres,

:06:57. > :06:58.because the athlete did not It has been a very difficult

:06:59. > :07:04.schedule, these games, it has been hard on the athletes,

:07:05. > :07:07.so it will be interesting to see what sort of toll it

:07:08. > :07:10.has taken on Mo Farah, but it has also taken a toll

:07:11. > :07:13.on the rest of the athletes. Today, British sports fans would be

:07:14. > :07:22.disappointed that Tom Daley, having set an Olympic record last

:07:23. > :07:25.night, crashed out of the semifinals in the ten metre diving,

:07:26. > :07:27.and it just kind of puts in perspective for me that you can

:07:28. > :07:31.be at the top of your game, but you should never take anybody's

:07:32. > :07:33.skill, talent, and And to echo Paula's point,

:07:34. > :07:41.it was 1972 and 1976 that we last It is so challenging, so difficult,

:07:42. > :07:53.and it is about him running his race the way he runs it,

:07:54. > :07:56.and if they let him control, Let's bring you up to speed with

:07:57. > :08:07.Mo Farah's Olympic story so far. It is going to be

:08:08. > :08:27.a glorious, glorious win! The dangerous 1500 metre

:08:28. > :08:50.man is in third place. The big kick has started, the third

:08:51. > :08:59.placed runner looks dangerous. The arms have got

:09:00. > :09:05.to pump, knees have He has got to find something,

:09:06. > :09:08.got to keep hard. Come on, Mo Farah, I think

:09:09. > :09:15.is going to get there. Farah is going to make it two gold

:09:16. > :09:20.medals for Great Britain! Mo Farah having to work hard,

:09:21. > :09:38.there is a danger here in front, Mo Farah attempting to retain his

:09:39. > :09:44.10,000 metre Olympic title, Mo Farah moves out and he opens

:09:45. > :09:55.those legs of his and Let's put in historical

:09:56. > :10:19.context Mo's achievements, alongside names like Lasse Viren,

:10:20. > :10:22.who was running in a time I doubt it will be as

:10:23. > :10:50.quick as 13 minutes. Paula, he has not had his own way

:10:51. > :11:00.in these races, there with the fall, bumping

:11:01. > :11:04.in a lot of races, there have been a few

:11:05. > :11:06.knocks and bumps. What does he have to do

:11:07. > :11:09.to to stay out of danger? That will be the most difficult

:11:10. > :11:12.thing for Mo Farah is to stay out of danger, he does

:11:13. > :11:14.not want to go fast, and he will not be at the front

:11:15. > :11:18.in the first couple of laps, he will be sitting right at the back

:11:19. > :11:21.but he will be keeping an eye on the rest of the field

:11:22. > :11:24.and they will gradually move up through the order as the race goes

:11:25. > :11:27.on to cover anything. This is in his heat where we saw

:11:28. > :11:33.he got into a bit of trouble. Mo Farah has a long, loping stride,

:11:34. > :11:48.he takes up more space on the track. What Mo does is move

:11:49. > :11:50.close to the front, cuts in slightly and his leg just

:11:51. > :11:54.catches, nobody's fault, it is just that his stride length

:11:55. > :11:56.takes up more space. He has to be aware of

:11:57. > :12:00.that and be careful. When people try and get out

:12:01. > :12:03.behind him, they have to try and almost step over that back leg

:12:04. > :12:06.and that is the danger when he goes down, which is what happens

:12:07. > :12:10.in the 10,000 metres. He was able to cope

:12:11. > :12:15.with it really well. It was only really after the race

:12:16. > :12:18.that the emotion and how that could have taken his whole quest

:12:19. > :12:23.away from him at that point hit him, and that is where we saw him

:12:24. > :12:31.so emotional at the end of the race. If we see him in his customary

:12:32. > :12:39.position in the front of that pack with two laps to go,

:12:40. > :12:41.then it is all OK. I cannot see many people

:12:42. > :12:44.being able to challenge him. Superiority that he has

:12:45. > :12:46.and the superiority complex that he has developed over

:12:47. > :12:49.the rest of the field, not him thinking he is better,

:12:50. > :12:52.but everyone else do not believe that they can challenge him when it

:12:53. > :12:55.gets into that last lap, He was recognised as a talent

:12:56. > :13:00.from a very young age, but it took him a while to get his bearings

:13:01. > :13:07.in international stage. His first Olympic experience did not

:13:08. > :13:10.go well, but then things kind of turned for him,

:13:11. > :13:12.his style definitely changed. I think he matured and

:13:13. > :13:23.strengthened and as athlete. It is very rare that someone comes

:13:24. > :13:29.straight in as a youngster and is able to dominate

:13:30. > :13:31.at a world level. It takes years for that endurance

:13:32. > :13:34.and strength to build up. I think the key change in Mo

:13:35. > :13:38.was when he moved from Alan Storey If you look at him in Beijing,

:13:39. > :13:42.number one he came into the championships carrying far

:13:43. > :13:44.too much in his legs. He was rocking and rolling

:13:45. > :13:49.all over the place. If you contrast that

:13:50. > :13:54.with his style today, up his core and his upper body,

:13:55. > :13:59.his arm movement, his head, He has that little bit of a nod

:14:00. > :14:13.today, but not as much. he does not have that confidence,

:14:14. > :14:19.that imperial way of running, he is still very quick

:14:20. > :14:22.and he always was very quick, but he is more ragged and he has

:14:23. > :14:25.just tightened up everything and paid a lot more attention

:14:26. > :14:28.to the recovery, the little details, and that is what Alberta

:14:29. > :14:30.is really strong on, Look here at the Anniversary

:14:31. > :14:35.Games in London. What was so impressive was just how

:14:36. > :14:39.steady and how strong he was, his shoulders barely moving,

:14:40. > :14:41.and the contrast from those early races in 2008 to here,

:14:42. > :14:43.it is massive. That is what enables him,

:14:44. > :14:46.even when he is tired, to keep the form and keep

:14:47. > :14:49.the turnover and keep that speed, As a student of sprinting,

:14:50. > :14:57.Michael, seeing that there, I can remember back in 2012

:14:58. > :15:11.with Alberto Salazar, he was picking my brain and asking

:15:12. > :15:16.about sprinting and he brought the entire crew down

:15:17. > :15:20.to Michael Johnson's performance and said, "Analyse these guys,

:15:21. > :15:29.we want them to run like sprinters." Because what he could recognise,

:15:30. > :15:30.technique is in -- important for sprinters

:15:31. > :15:32.and for distance runners. It is compounded by the distance

:15:33. > :15:35.they have to run, so He has that incredible pace over

:15:36. > :15:39.the last lap, and it is about 50 minutes from now,

:15:40. > :15:44.and here is Mo Farah, he is outside on the warmup

:15:45. > :15:49.track at the moment, When you get to that sort of age,

:15:50. > :16:12.it is how do you keep motivating yourself to keep

:16:13. > :16:14.putting in the miles, keep in meticulous with your

:16:15. > :16:20.nutrition, the injuries, I think he has been an incredible

:16:21. > :16:23.ambassador of the sport. We told you when you can expect

:16:24. > :16:34.to see Mo Farah on the track, but let's have a look at how

:16:35. > :16:37.the timetable pans out for this last night

:16:38. > :16:39.at the athletics in the stadium. So it is the women's

:16:40. > :16:41.high jump competition, they have just been introduced

:16:42. > :16:44.to the crowd, Morgan Lake, who is one of our best heptathlete

:16:45. > :16:47.is, going in that high jump final. The men's javelin goes off

:16:48. > :16:49.at 12:55 a.m., at 1am it is the men's 1500 metres,

:16:50. > :16:53.Charlie Grice who has had a really interesting

:16:54. > :17:04.passage into this final, He had an appeal to get into the

:17:05. > :17:09.semifinal and then he had a slightly fortuitous entry into that final.

:17:10. > :17:11.with kind of a passage through the last 100 metres

:17:12. > :17:16.He is in the final, so maybe luck will continue and he

:17:17. > :17:21.At 1:30am it is the men's 5000 metres, the men's four x 400 metre

:17:22. > :17:35.And then at 2.35 it is the men's four x 400 metre relay.

:17:36. > :17:43.On BBC Four you can seek two bronze medal matches in the tae kwon do.

:17:44. > :17:45.Martyn Rooney has joined us in the studio.

:17:46. > :17:52.I am sorry it is not under happier circumstances.

:17:53. > :17:58.preparing to the race, but that is not happening tonight.

:17:59. > :18:06.The alk about how it happened, in the heat of the whole tonight.

:18:07. > :18:09.yesterday, you are very cross and very unsure as many of us

:18:10. > :18:11.were what was going on, what was happening.

:18:12. > :18:12.We now know exactly why you are disqualified,

:18:13. > :18:16.and we have the footage, we will have a look at it now,

:18:17. > :18:18.and just see, which is to do with where Matti Hudson Smith

:18:19. > :18:20.was positioned in his handover -- Matthew.

:18:21. > :18:23.He was touching the red Line, his foot was over the redline.

:18:24. > :18:29.It has to be inside the red line and it was over.

:18:30. > :18:32.That is why Great Britain and India were both disqualified.

:18:33. > :18:36.I know that you were quite cross, are you feeling better

:18:37. > :18:39.with the decision, are you satisfied that the correct procedure

:18:40. > :18:51.I have just watched it to the first time, and it is not conclusive.

:18:52. > :18:55.It is the track judges decision, there was no Hawkeye on the line,

:18:56. > :19:01.like in tennis and football, you can see that the track judge has

:19:02. > :19:04.decided that that is what he has seen, there is no conclusive

:19:05. > :19:09.I have just seen it now and I am even more angry.

:19:10. > :19:11.We do have a slightly closer image on the still,

:19:12. > :19:16.Does that make you feel any more satisfied that the right

:19:17. > :19:30.That has been very badly treated there.

:19:31. > :19:49.The line judge's word is final, it would appear, in this.

:19:50. > :19:51.I think it makes sense to talk about the process

:19:52. > :19:58.So the judge makes the decision after the race and while the race

:19:59. > :20:04.That was his judgement, as you said, Martyn his foot was over the line.

:20:05. > :20:06.That was his judgement, as you said, Martyn.

:20:07. > :20:08.What happens at that point is they make the decision

:20:09. > :20:10.to disqualify the four x 400-metre team.

:20:11. > :20:14.Great Britain has the opportunity to appeal that decision and once

:20:15. > :20:16.that appeal has taken place it is upon the team,

:20:17. > :20:20.Great Britain, to show there was conclusive evidence

:20:21. > :20:25.That is the problem, that you can't show conclusive

:20:26. > :20:30.I think what we are talking about here and what you are

:20:31. > :20:34.understandably upset about, Martyn talking about here

:20:35. > :20:36.and what you are understandably upset about, Martyn,

:20:37. > :20:40.whether or not that decision should be made subjectively and in terms

:20:41. > :20:43.of whether anyone else was impeded, which they were not,

:20:44. > :20:51.and whether or not the great Britain team got any advantage.

:20:52. > :20:53.If there is any advantage at all, it is millimetres.

:20:54. > :20:57.Because that is why they have that rule, they don't want you to be

:20:58. > :20:59.the opposite side of the line, because now you are to close

:21:00. > :21:01.and the incoming runner doesn't run a full 400m.

:21:02. > :21:04.There is a bit of the said, she said, a world recognised

:21:05. > :21:07.official said that he twice, whether he set it to

:21:08. > :21:09.Matthew Hudson-Smith directly or to the athletes,

:21:10. > :21:15.Matthew Hudson-Smith has said no one said anything to him.

:21:16. > :21:22.I spoke to the judges, the particular judge

:21:23. > :21:24.who said I spoke to him and the Indian Runner standing

:21:25. > :21:29.there, obviously while Williams was coming around and jostling in,

:21:30. > :21:38.In the heat of the moment, I know that Matthew would have been

:21:39. > :21:41.focused on the incoming runner, and so maybe he didn't hear it.

:21:42. > :21:44.It is a loud stadium, but I don't believe that Matt...

:21:45. > :21:48.If someone tells you to move, the move.

:21:49. > :21:58.We are meant to be told where to stand at the 200-metre mark

:21:59. > :22:01.because the guy coming in at 200m has to line up.

:22:02. > :22:03.Last night I had to be told where to stand,

:22:04. > :22:07.and the same people that are meant to tell you to stand in the right

:22:08. > :22:09.place at telling him to stand behind the line.

:22:10. > :22:13.In any situation, in any relay you have run in international

:22:14. > :22:15.competition, while you are at waiting on the line,

:22:16. > :22:18.you are facing the infield waiting for your guide to run.

:22:19. > :22:19.Has anybody ever come by and told

:22:20. > :22:29.If you look at the video, all runners are facing inside.

:22:30. > :22:31.If anyone told them anything they would be standing

:22:32. > :22:39.We are dealing with a sport at the upper echelons of its game,

:22:40. > :22:45.We have cameras, millions of cameras everywhere.

:22:46. > :22:48.This seems to be something that we need to have

:22:49. > :22:52.concrete proof of, rather than people saying I saw it,

:22:53. > :22:55.In cycling if there is no concrete proof or video evidence...

:22:56. > :23:00.Sorry to interrupt, there is also an argument that they don't have

:23:01. > :23:11.But I understand the problem because the incoming runner

:23:12. > :23:14.is fatiguing so you want to take up the baton as early as possible.

:23:15. > :23:17.You could choose to stand five metres from that line.

:23:18. > :23:21.The cameras that we are talking about, based on what we showed,

:23:22. > :23:24.I think it would show that his foot was over the line and

:23:25. > :23:33.If that was immediately shown last night, the debate would be over.

:23:34. > :23:37.As an athlete once it is conclusive, you accepted it and you move on.

:23:38. > :23:41.To not have that conclusive evidence that, that is the tough part for us.

:23:42. > :23:44.I know we are moaning, and we are blessed to be here

:23:45. > :23:47.and to be doing something we love, but we have a chance to win

:23:48. > :23:54.And UK, and that comes through loud and clear.

:23:55. > :24:00.I just want to say I am delighted with how the guys

:24:01. > :24:04.We are talking millimetres, aren't we?

:24:05. > :24:07.And the rule is the rule, and there was that violation

:24:08. > :24:10.but as we were talking about earlier, the issue

:24:11. > :24:23.This four by 400-metre relay race today is not the four x

:24:24. > :24:29.400-metre teams we have seen in the past --

:24:30. > :24:32.400-metre teams we have seen in the past.

:24:33. > :24:34.If ever there was an opportunity, this was close.

:24:35. > :24:37.It was a great opportunity for you guys and it is a shame

:24:38. > :24:42.The US team is not as strong as they have been in the past.

:24:43. > :24:45.They have always been incredible teams and is the first time we went

:24:46. > :24:47.into Olympics believing we can actually win it.

:24:48. > :24:50.Obviously Jamaica and Trinidad and Botswana are strong, but we feel

:24:51. > :24:54.The opportunity is there and unfortunately we are not going

:24:55. > :24:58.The roar in the stadium is for these athletes, Usain Bolt

:24:59. > :25:11.and his team-mates, four of the fastest man of all time.

:25:12. > :25:16.I was thinking that, the second fastest ever in the 200m,

:25:17. > :25:19.and a world champion who has managed one of the fastest times,

:25:20. > :25:22.Usain Bolt, of course, we know what he has done,

:25:23. > :25:24.and they are all there in the stadium last night,

:25:25. > :25:32.That really sort of sums up what Jamaican sprinting has

:25:33. > :25:43.OK, let's get down to Steve for this one.

:25:44. > :25:49.You know, there were some people saying I wonder if Usain Bolt

:25:50. > :26:05.fancies winning a 10th, trotting out the four x four.

:26:06. > :26:10.Jamaica, as they have been so often in recent times,

:26:11. > :26:13.A very good performance from Japan, a brilliant run

:26:14. > :27:16.Number 9 for Usain Bolt, and Jamaica's sixth gold medal at this

:27:17. > :27:25.An excellent quartet who worked well together, and the Canadian quartet

:27:26. > :27:34.might just be able to push things once Mr Bolt has gone.

:27:35. > :27:37.And what we didn't have time last night, because there

:27:38. > :27:40.was so much going on, with disqualifications and then

:27:41. > :27:45.the American men were disqualified, was to just pay some sort of tribute

:27:46. > :27:49.to Japan, who ran the most incredible race.

:27:50. > :27:53.They really did, and they have been investing in, you know,

:27:54. > :27:58.athletic development and coach education over the last few years

:27:59. > :28:01.knowing that they are going to be hosting the games in 2020 and really

:28:02. > :28:08.It is interesting, people were talking all night last night

:28:09. > :28:11.on Twitter about Japan not having any 100-metre athletes ranked

:28:12. > :28:14.in the top 25 in the world, yet they can get this result

:28:15. > :28:17.and finish in a silver medal position against

:28:18. > :28:21.the US and Great Britain and these other teams.

:28:22. > :28:26.That is true and that is amazing, kudos to them.

:28:27. > :28:31.But they don't have any professional sprinters on the circuit making

:28:32. > :28:35.a living and representing Japan in the 100m here,

:28:36. > :28:39.and when you do that you don't have time to just be a team.

:28:40. > :28:42.Those athletes are a team, and they work as a team

:28:43. > :28:46.It is very clear what their aim is in four years' time.

:28:47. > :28:49.More power to them because that is going to be fascinating.

:28:50. > :28:54.They were neck and neck with Jamaica into that last 100m.

:28:55. > :28:57.It should be thrilling, when there is no Bolt to take

:28:58. > :29:02.the baton home on the last leg, you never know.

:29:03. > :29:14.The very last time, we will see him hopefully next year in London 2017

:29:15. > :29:19.The women's high jump, and an event you are rather

:29:20. > :29:31.There are two field events I am fond of, the men's javelin final,

:29:32. > :29:33.but also the women's high jump competition.

:29:34. > :29:37.We have a finalist in Morgan Lake, proud to have made the final,

:29:38. > :29:50.She went clear just to settle herself into the competition,

:29:51. > :29:54.World junior champion in this event and the heptathlon,

:29:55. > :30:12.Ruth Beitia, three-time European champion, is now 37 years of age.

:30:13. > :30:19.She starts her bid to take this Olympic title.

:30:20. > :30:23.We expect heights up towards two metres or more.

:30:24. > :30:26.Ruth Beitia is a contender from Spain.

:30:27. > :30:40.The Croatian also a contender, lots more action to come.

:30:41. > :30:42.The German javelin finalists are introduced, lots

:30:43. > :30:47.The German javelin finalists are introduced.

:30:48. > :30:52.Toledo of Argentina, he has done well to make the final.

:30:53. > :30:55.Arai of Japan, he will probably need a national record to make

:30:56. > :31:06.the medals, and one of three Czech athletes.

:31:07. > :31:13.The drummers creating the rhythm at both ends of the stadium.

:31:14. > :31:20.Jumping and throwing is all about for them. -- reaffirmed.

:31:21. > :31:27.World leader Chaunte Lowe makes very light work of that.

:31:28. > :31:31.She took the US championships earlier this summer.

:31:32. > :31:33.I mentioned contenders, she is certainly one

:31:34. > :31:36.Performed well across the field events, and the track,

:31:37. > :31:55.A little laboured on the last three strides.

:31:56. > :31:57.They have to be crisp and accelerating.

:31:58. > :32:04.The first glitch in this final for the youngster.

:32:05. > :32:07.Those last few strides didn't have the zip that she will need

:32:08. > :32:10.to progress through this competition.

:32:11. > :32:20.Walcott, the Olympic champion from four years ago.

:32:21. > :32:30.It is a throw which will dip shy of 85 metres, but it is the first

:32:31. > :32:34.That was a chance for Walcott to set down a marker,

:32:35. > :32:49.He was the lead qualifier with a massive 88.68 metres.

:32:50. > :32:52.As the reigning champion, 83.45.

:32:53. > :33:01.One of three Germans in this final, Johannes Vetter.

:33:02. > :33:05.The 23-year-old is second on the world list this year.

:33:06. > :33:06.And 88-metre throw up at his very best.

:33:07. > :33:31.Good run off, stomping that left side down.

:33:32. > :33:41.Blocking the left leg, pulling in over the top.

:33:42. > :33:51.Next up on the track, it is the Men's 1,500m.

:33:52. > :33:56.One of the great races in the Olympic programme.

:33:57. > :34:02.And the British contender, in many ways he has kind of used

:34:03. > :34:06.a few rolls of his dice, he has had a few lives to get here.

:34:07. > :34:09.He had an appeal in his heat and then a nice passage through up

:34:10. > :34:19.He is looking good but it looks wide open Men's 1,500m.

:34:20. > :34:23.I can't see anyone who will set out hard so it is not going to be

:34:24. > :34:26.a cracking race, it would be a cat and mouse.

:34:27. > :34:33.Everyone will be waiting to see what the leading contenders do,

:34:34. > :34:36.and they all think they can sprint but they can't all sprint as fast

:34:37. > :34:39.as each other but they will all think they can

:34:40. > :34:43.It sounds like you think there is a better way to win this race.

:34:44. > :34:46.I think there is a way people can finish higher up than

:34:47. > :34:54.If they take on a little bit more all work together relevant Lagmore.

:34:55. > :34:56.-- a little bit more. We will see pedestrian early stages

:34:57. > :35:14.of this summer Paula is right, we have Makhloufi, won a silver

:35:15. > :35:16.in the 800 metres, a big new personal best for him,

:35:17. > :35:19.and then Kiprop, the man who everyone expects to win

:35:20. > :35:21.this, he looks a little He looks down this line and see

:35:22. > :35:27.kickers all over the place. Nick Willis has won an Olympic medal

:35:28. > :35:39.as well, the New Zealander. That is the race that

:35:40. > :35:41.all the big names want, I am just interested to see

:35:42. > :35:53.if anyone wants to try and make Kiprop hurt a little

:35:54. > :35:56.and take him by surprise. I have not even mentioned the other

:35:57. > :36:02.Kenyan, Ronald Kwemoi. Got pushed up the track

:36:03. > :36:12.in the semi-final, a big danger, and if you watch the Diamond League

:36:13. > :36:15.you would have seen in Monaco he survived

:36:16. > :36:17.surprised everybody. Finishing strong in a fast race

:36:18. > :36:20.to finishing strong in a slow Watch out for Nick

:36:21. > :36:28.Willis, he has been weaving his way through in the home

:36:29. > :36:31.straight, there may be a little bit Nathan Brannen, he broke down

:36:32. > :36:36.in tears when he found out he had made a final,

:36:37. > :36:43.the 32-year-old for Canada. Charlie Grice, his

:36:44. > :36:47.first Olympic final. I'm sure there will

:36:48. > :36:48.be plenty of others. The defending champion, Makhloufi,

:36:49. > :36:52.not perhaps the most opulent athlete kicking around,

:36:53. > :36:55.but he is having a great season, and he had a silver

:36:56. > :36:57.medal in 800 metres, Ryan Gregson, the best that

:36:58. > :37:07.Australia have at the minute, rediscovering some of his good

:37:08. > :37:10.form this year. The 23-year-old from Uganda,

:37:11. > :37:16.he will be one of those that Paula Radcliffe was referring to,

:37:17. > :37:21.why don't you go out and take it on. Matthew Centrowitz, we spoke to him

:37:22. > :37:28.yesterday and he says "I am going to give myself the best

:37:29. > :37:32.chance on the last lap", and all of these people,

:37:33. > :37:45.including Kiprop, will be trying to create that best opportunity,

:37:46. > :37:58.Souleman has had all sorts of problems on and off the track.

:37:59. > :38:04.His coach was arrested in Spain when they were preparing for these

:38:05. > :38:09.championships, so not sure what to expect from Souleman.

:38:10. > :38:15.The men's 1500 metre final, and the one thing we can expect

:38:16. > :38:24.here is tension, nerves, and I am sure a bit of jostling

:38:25. > :38:26.and pushing, there might be some boxing gloves required

:38:27. > :38:29.when this all kicks off, I would be very surprised if once

:38:30. > :38:32.this settles down, there you go, do not have to wait long.

:38:33. > :38:35.This is what everybody was expecting, and that is in itself

:38:36. > :38:37.something that the athletes have to deal with, they know

:38:38. > :38:40.what is going to happen here, and then somebody sometimes has got

:38:41. > :38:49.You said it, Kiprop in the middle of the field, Makhloufi,

:38:50. > :38:52.the reigning elite champion, I don't think I have ever seen

:38:53. > :39:07.a race where we have had to Olympic 1500 metre champions in the same

:39:08. > :39:10.race at the Olympic Games, but it is very slow indeed.

:39:11. > :39:13.Kiprop looking over at the screen but he is not going to find

:39:14. > :39:16.It might show him that they are going slow.

:39:17. > :39:18.This is where the nerves come into play.

:39:19. > :39:21.This is where experience tells, 66 first lap, that is slow.

:39:22. > :39:33.He is from thinking that if he is going to do anything

:39:34. > :39:36.on the last lap he wants to be close from the beginning.

:39:37. > :39:38.Kiprop and Makhloufi will not be so bothered, they will

:39:39. > :39:42.move through the field when they are ready.

:39:43. > :39:50.Why not get it moving, Charlie Grice just moving

:39:51. > :39:59.I know they are jogging and come the third lap it will kick off,

:40:00. > :40:08.They do learn on the circuit, and Kwemoi has fallen.

:40:09. > :40:10.There is a trip by Kiprop, and it is the slow

:40:11. > :40:17.These athletes are used to running on the diamond league circuit

:40:18. > :40:19.much faster than this, Kwemoi, the fastest athlete,

:40:20. > :40:22.second fastest athlete in the world this year,

:40:23. > :40:26.that was him falling over and he has caught up in quite easily

:40:27. > :40:31.because he was 2.16, it is now a 700 metre race.

:40:32. > :40:33.Charlie Grice has himself in a good position.

:40:34. > :40:48.The big names are wrapped the back. -- at the back.

:40:49. > :40:50.Centrowitz and Willis, to be gigas are giving themselves

:40:51. > :40:57.Makhloufi starting to move up, Kiprop was

:40:58. > :41:03.Into the straight, they are on their way to the bell.

:41:04. > :41:08.Kiprop has a lot of work to do, Makhloufi has a lot to work to do.

:41:09. > :41:12.They are still falling over each other.

:41:13. > :41:14.Kwemoi very lucky because of that pace.

:41:15. > :41:17.The two Olympic champions clash and now we have a race,

:41:18. > :41:19.and almost you would say this is anybody's race.

:41:20. > :41:21.Charlie Grice is still in fifth place.

:41:22. > :41:25.He got muscled out by Makhloufi but now he is going down

:41:26. > :41:28.Kwemoi trying to come from further back after having fallen.

:41:29. > :41:32.It is Centrowitz of the USA in front.

:41:33. > :41:34.Makhloufi moving up onto his shoulder.

:41:35. > :41:47.It is the USA, Centrowitz, and Centrowitz is one of the best

:41:48. > :41:50.chasers home in the last 100 metres, can he do it, Makhloufi coming

:41:51. > :41:53.higher, Centrowitz still has it, Kiprop is not going to win this,

:41:54. > :41:56.it is Makhloufi and Centrowitz, that Centrowitz of the USA, Willis

:41:57. > :41:59.is coming through for the bronze, it is going to be that Centrowitz!

:42:00. > :42:13.The USA get the gold -- Matthew Centrowitz.

:42:14. > :42:14.Iguider second, Nick Willis, another bronze

:42:15. > :42:18.medal at the Olympic Games.

:42:19. > :42:21.That was a race won by a smart piece of running before the third lap,

:42:22. > :42:29.he said "If you are going to go the slow, I will go to the front.

:42:30. > :42:33.I said at the beginning of the race that if they run in the right

:42:34. > :42:35.position, if those two guys are anywhere near the front,

:42:36. > :42:41.they are the best in the last 100 metres.

:42:42. > :42:45.Some names were coming from too far back.

:42:46. > :42:47.Willis probably was there, but when I saw Centrowitz

:42:48. > :42:49.at the front, I was thinking "Good luck getting past him."

:42:50. > :42:58.Matthew Centrowitz of the USA, fabulous performance.

:42:59. > :43:00.Everything he did was right, the others, including the Olympic

:43:01. > :43:05.champion, Kiprop and Makhloufi did not have a good race.

:43:06. > :43:09.I said during commentary that it was a 700 metre race,

:43:10. > :43:12.supposedly was a 1500 metre race but it almost came down

:43:13. > :43:26.On the outside, Nick Willis, on the inside, and there is the trip

:43:27. > :43:29.of Kwemoi, he was unlucky there but he managed to catch up again,

:43:30. > :43:42.The pace was so slow, so he caught up. His team-mate goes through.

:43:43. > :43:45.There was a lot of pushing, Centrowitz is now in the front.

:43:46. > :43:47.Coached by Alberto Salazar, and the bell goes and they are

:43:48. > :43:50.pushing and shoving and fighting to position and there is not

:43:51. > :44:07.You said before the race, keep an eye Nick Willis.

:44:08. > :44:10.But look at him there, he is alongside Charlie Grice,

:44:11. > :44:12.and here he comes on the outside, the long striding Kiprop,

:44:13. > :44:16.and I am sure the whole way this race went was against his interest.

:44:17. > :44:19.He is not sure good in a short race, Centrowitz holds off,

:44:20. > :44:22.the first move he makes there, he has got himself in a good

:44:23. > :44:25.position, he holds off Kiprop, the two Olympic champions together

:44:26. > :44:27.now, Makhloufi coming white on the outside in the green vest,

:44:28. > :44:30.coming to challenge Centrowitz, but Centrowitz in the home

:44:31. > :44:32.straight is kicking again, and look at Willis, looking through,

:44:33. > :44:38.He is into second place, third place, chasing Makhloufi,

:44:39. > :44:48.but a glorious performance, wonderful to be able to say

:44:49. > :44:51.that the Olympic champion in the 1500 metres is an American,

:44:52. > :45:04.Again, look at what Nick Willis has got to do.

:45:05. > :45:09.He has to find space and fine pace and does

:45:10. > :45:15.Well done, Matt Centrowitz, what a pleasure to watch

:45:16. > :45:18.Makhloufi in second place, Willis in third.

:45:19. > :45:22.The gold medal is on its way to the United States,

:45:23. > :45:25.I have not been able to say that for a long time.

:45:26. > :45:28.It was a bronze for New Zealand in the pole vault last night,

:45:29. > :45:32.a youngster just beginning her career, and a man of

:45:33. > :45:34.the other end of his career, a brilliant run.

:45:35. > :45:37.Centrowitz has been able to overcome all sorts of injuries this year,

:45:38. > :45:40.and that was a win for a smart piece of running.

:45:41. > :45:42.A great win, a great gold medal for the USA.

:45:43. > :45:45.Times were irrelevant except that I can tell you that he ran

:45:46. > :45:51.Makhloufi with another silver medal, Nick Willis taking the blondes

:45:52. > :45:54.and Charlie Grice finished in 12th place -- bronze.

:45:55. > :46:03.Charlie Grice just getting burned up a little on the last lap.

:46:04. > :46:05.This is Julius Yego, who proved last year

:46:06. > :46:13.that there is more to Kenyan athletics than just running.

:46:14. > :46:16.The reigning world champion not quite on form this year but there is

:46:17. > :46:20.a chance. He has fallen on that,

:46:21. > :46:23.but that is high and long, that is a big throw from Julius

:46:24. > :46:25.Yego. That is the biggest

:46:26. > :46:26.of the competition, He took three three throws

:46:27. > :46:37.to qualify two days ago, the man who learnt to throw

:46:38. > :46:59.watching videos on YouTube, Thomas Rohler looking to respond

:47:00. > :47:15.to that big throw from Julius Yego. Rohler quick on the approach,

:47:16. > :47:18.just saves it in time, That is a long way down the field,

:47:19. > :47:23.maybe not quite as far as the Kenyan, hurt his back

:47:24. > :47:28.in the European Championships, Thomas Rohler, has

:47:29. > :47:32.not competed since. Showed no sign of that injury there,

:47:33. > :47:39.looking in really good shape. Two fouls, a 1.93, she cleared one

:47:40. > :48:06.centimetre higher to make this final, can she stay

:48:07. > :48:09.in a clutch jump, needed Showed real character that

:48:10. > :48:27.in the Olympic final. There are the women out on the track

:48:28. > :48:36.ready for the 800 metre final which is the next

:48:37. > :48:38.events taking place, Lynsey Sharp of Great Britain out

:48:39. > :48:46.there, and Caster Semenya just behind her, she has not lost a race

:48:47. > :48:49.this year, she is the outstanding favourite, the world champion

:48:50. > :48:56.of 2009, silver medals in 2011 at the World Championships

:48:57. > :48:59.and in London as well. Paula Radcliffe is in the commentary

:49:00. > :49:01.box ready for this. If I can ask your quick question,

:49:02. > :49:04.Paula, it is almost impossible to have a conversation

:49:05. > :49:06.about Caster Semenya without talking The rules change that defined female

:49:07. > :49:21.competition from a straight out physical test and chromosome

:49:22. > :49:34.test to testosterone levels. It sets the level at ten nanograms

:49:35. > :49:36.per litre for testosterone. 99% of women will be below three. It was a

:49:37. > :49:39.big margin. It was a big margin and they said

:49:40. > :49:41.athletes above that could have the option of having

:49:42. > :49:44.an operation or taking medication Then there was the case last year,

:49:45. > :49:52.where it was decided that was unfair and they gave that IAAF two years

:49:53. > :49:55.to put together the evidence to show how much of an advantage

:49:56. > :50:00.testosterone, or higher levels What's wrong with this

:50:01. > :50:05.is we are discussing this She is not the only athlete

:50:06. > :50:11.with that condition. We should be celebrating

:50:12. > :50:14.the achievements she has done. She is the Olympic silver-medallist

:50:15. > :50:24.coming into this race. She may yet be up rated

:50:25. > :50:27.to Olympic Gold in London. There it is, the first

:50:28. > :50:29.of the finalists. Shouldn't just want to make

:50:30. > :50:38.the final, she believes she can. A strong challenge will come from

:50:39. > :50:43.Melissa Bishop. This is the world indoor

:50:44. > :50:58.and when Semenya didn't compete. The only woman to get close

:50:59. > :51:01.the south African this season. Another threat will surely come

:51:02. > :51:03.from Margaret Wambui. She could certainly go

:51:08. > :51:12.can come to the start line with more But for this young woman

:51:13. > :51:19.a different type of attention. All she can do is run

:51:20. > :51:21.and try to win. Joanna Jozwik on her first

:51:22. > :51:29.round heat at her semi-final. She will run near the back

:51:30. > :51:32.and try to come through. Maybe a bit too much of this company

:51:33. > :51:35.to do that. Kate Grace, the only

:51:36. > :51:39.American in this final. Only just scraped through the first

:51:40. > :51:44.round but then a personal As I said, Caster Semenya comes

:51:45. > :51:59.to this final under the school are, As I said, Caster Semenya comes

:52:00. > :52:02.to this final under the glare, under intense spotlight for reasons

:52:03. > :52:04.far beyond her control. People getting excited

:52:05. > :52:08.about how fast she could run. I don't think she will get close

:52:09. > :52:12.to the world record. We will see how quickly

:52:13. > :52:17.it is taken out. Caster Semenya I am sure

:52:18. > :52:20.will control this race. Let's see what kind

:52:21. > :52:23.of pace Lynsey Sharp sets. A bit of a cheque from Melissa

:52:24. > :52:35.Bishop. Right away now we are seeing

:52:36. > :52:44.Caster Semenya go to the front. She is controlling the race

:52:45. > :52:47.and she will do so from here. The other girls in the race can

:52:48. > :52:56.compete with Semenya. 400 metres to go

:52:57. > :53:06.between Caster Semenya. Francine Niyonsaba trying to take

:53:07. > :53:16.the lead from her. Wambui Bell trying to get

:53:17. > :53:25.the long stride going. Niyonsaba trying to hold off

:53:26. > :53:28.the invincible Caster Semenya. Semenya steps on the accelerator,

:53:29. > :53:43.moves up and away from the rest. Melissa Bishop trying to hold off,

:53:44. > :53:55.but Wambui will get there. Semenya is the champion,

:53:56. > :54:03.Niyonsaba, then Wambui. Lynsey Sharp coming

:54:04. > :54:08.through 1.55 off the first lap. That's a personal best

:54:09. > :54:17.and a national record. A new South African record

:54:18. > :54:21.for Caster Semenya. More importantly it is

:54:22. > :54:30.the Olympic title. Niyonsaba gave it her best

:54:31. > :54:32.but nobody could hold No, Niyonsaba definitely

:54:33. > :54:36.gave it her best shot. She really took the race

:54:37. > :54:41.to Caster Semenya, but she just had enough left to win

:54:42. > :54:44.a title, and convincingly. I mean, the fastest time

:54:45. > :54:48.in the world this year without even Lynsey Sharp finished in sixth

:54:49. > :54:54.position, so came through strongly You will see as they come

:54:55. > :55:09.in with one lap to go, But Niyonsaba made her move

:55:10. > :55:13.and made her move hard and she really laid down

:55:14. > :55:16.the gauntlet and went and made it an honest and strong race

:55:17. > :55:18.for her from 400 metres out. Here it was Wambui who was a little

:55:19. > :55:23.bit late in responding. Melissa Bishop had herself

:55:24. > :55:26.in a perfect position. She was slightly boxed at she had

:55:27. > :55:36.Caster Semenya in front of her, and she knew she would move wide

:55:37. > :55:39.and go fast and leave space for her to come

:55:40. > :55:41.through in the closing stages. She was in a position to be able

:55:42. > :55:46.to respond and maybe even come through and follow Caster Semenya

:55:47. > :55:56.for the silver medal, but she just ran as fast

:55:57. > :55:59.as she could at at this point she had herself

:56:00. > :56:02.in the bronze medal position. Caster Semenya just moving away

:56:03. > :56:08.fast and strong. You said you didn't think

:56:09. > :56:13.we would see a world record tonight I think she could eat that world

:56:14. > :56:18.record, she has it in her. That's exactly two seconds slower

:56:19. > :56:20.than the world record, but Semenya finishing and everyone

:56:21. > :56:23.else working so hard She perhaps didn't want

:56:24. > :56:27.to go faster tonight. Melissa Bishop has

:56:28. > :56:42.run a personal best. She was already 3rd

:56:43. > :56:44.in the UK best times list. Great runs from so many

:56:45. > :56:47.runners behind her. We knew it was going to be a gold

:56:48. > :56:52.medal for Caster Semenya, I think it is important to underline

:56:53. > :57:00.that she has gone out there and has We talk about the controversy

:57:01. > :57:03.still surrounding She may yet be upgraded to a gold

:57:04. > :57:08.medal there, but she won't have the gold medal

:57:09. > :57:11.moment she had denied. The other on testing

:57:12. > :57:13.challengers are coming from different quarters,

:57:14. > :57:15.but Caster Semenya is 17 athletes started this women's

:58:30. > :58:32.women are on the track. They are outside and ready to step

:58:33. > :58:37.up and collect their bronze medals That successful quartet,

:58:38. > :58:50.they are all smiles. Joy on their faces last night

:58:51. > :58:53.when they crossed the Everybody back home was delighted

:58:54. > :59:04.for this young quartet. They are walking away with a bronze

:59:05. > :59:20.medal and that's because of I think if you think back

:59:21. > :59:31.to the anniversary games, this is a team that could really

:59:32. > :59:37.contend for a medal without having to depend on somebody dropping

:59:38. > :59:41.a baton and they did that. I think it is really a great time

:59:42. > :59:46.in terms of potential for young A couple of years ago

:59:47. > :59:58.it was starting to come with the likes of Jodie Williams

:59:59. > :00:01.and she has had some injury issues, but I think these girls do

:00:02. > :00:08.believe in themselves. Obviously the challenge is to get

:00:09. > :00:11.them to want to excel as individual athletes because each of them do

:00:12. > :00:14.have real potential in that space and they will be so celebrated

:00:15. > :00:17.as a team and as a relay. The danger is that they start

:00:18. > :00:20.to identify themselves OK, let's hand over to Andrew,

:00:21. > :00:23.who is talking us That's a first medal in this event

:00:24. > :00:32.for Great Britain since 1984. It was a bronze then, and a bronze

:00:33. > :00:34.now. Tony Williams, Elaine Thompson,

:00:35. > :00:48.Veronica Campbell taking a medal. She is in her fifth Olympic Games.

:00:49. > :00:56.She won a silver in Sydney. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, she was in

:00:57. > :00:57.Sydney in 2000. That shows how wrong Veronica Campbell Brown has been

:00:58. > :01:01.around. -- how long. A very good lineup, in particular

:01:02. > :01:03.with Elaine Thompson and Fraser-Pryce, but they

:01:04. > :01:05.were a distant second were able to hold on.

:01:06. > :01:17.finish, but the Americans A little paperweight

:01:18. > :01:28.for one and all. Women like Elaine Thompson and

:01:29. > :01:30.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce are far more used to collecting gold.

:01:31. > :01:33.What an Olympic Games it has been for Elaine Thompson.

:01:34. > :01:41.She wandered all over the place in the 200 metres, and her better

:01:42. > :01:44.days are behind her, but still part of a very strong quartet.

:01:45. > :02:02.The women creating history in this quartet as well.

:02:03. > :02:06.A little bit of a false start from Bartoletta, but she now

:02:07. > :02:30.She was the gold medallist in the long jump.

:02:31. > :02:42.Akinosun who ran in the heats, in which

:02:43. > :02:52.English Gardner got bronze in the 100. Allyson Felix is not bad. She

:02:53. > :02:55.is getting ready by the four by 400. The first woman in track and field

:02:56. > :02:58.to win five Olympic gold medals. Going for number six shortly.

:02:59. > :03:00.The United States have had some good tussles

:03:01. > :03:09.If you remember they were originally disqualified for a changeover

:03:10. > :03:11.between English Gardner and Allyson Felix couldn't

:03:12. > :03:16.But it was found the English runner had impeded her.

:03:17. > :03:20.They did a time trial, they qualified and now

:03:21. > :03:40.The anthem of the United States of America.

:03:41. > :03:43.Britain and Northern Ireland - bronze, silver for Jamaica and gold

:03:44. > :04:49.Gold in the 4x100 for the United States.

:04:50. > :04:52.There may be more to come in a 4x400s in just a few

:04:53. > :05:23.# You can run on for a long time... # Run on for a long time... # Sooner

:05:24. > :05:33.or later going to cut you down... # Go tell that long tongued lawyer. #

:05:34. > :05:34.Go tell that midnight rider. # Told them that God's going to cut you

:05:35. > :05:44.down. That is what is next on the track -

:05:45. > :05:48.the men's 5,000 metres, and we saw Great Britain's women,

:05:49. > :05:51.they are just getting their bronze medals behind the United States

:05:52. > :05:53.and Jamaica, and hopefully more from them in the years to come -

:05:54. > :05:59.they look like a really at their feet, and they can move

:06:00. > :06:13.on from this Olympics Absolutely. You have to remember

:06:14. > :06:18.that they are all first-time Olympians.

:06:19. > :06:21.We talk about the advantage having an Olympic experience gives you,

:06:22. > :06:23.these girls, it bodes well for the future,

:06:24. > :06:26.what they have got to do in the next couple of years is really stay

:06:27. > :06:29.healthy, because I think the building blocks they have put

:06:30. > :06:32.down over the last couple of years have been really, really solid,

:06:33. > :06:34.and we have seen from Henry, running supremely well

:06:35. > :06:39.in the heats and the semifinals, just outside her personal best.

:06:40. > :06:50.Getting a taste for this Olympic arena, smelling it and feeling it.

:06:51. > :06:57.For someone like Asha Smith who is on an upward trajectory,

:06:58. > :07:04.identified early on as having major talent and had some success,

:07:05. > :07:07.what the problem is if that success stalls.

:07:08. > :07:09.She has that great potential, it certainly bodes well

:07:10. > :07:11.for her future in the next few years.

:07:12. > :07:14.Mo Farah coming out there, you see him there,

:07:15. > :07:31.coming on to the track in the men's 5000 metre final.

:07:32. > :07:36.It is a stage he's used to, a stage he's comfortable on,

:07:37. > :07:39.but the only 5000 metres he ran this year was the Anniversary Games,

:07:40. > :07:42.how much confidence will that give him that he can look at anybody

:07:43. > :07:51.around him who thinks they can challenge and and know that he has

:07:52. > :07:54.only done it once this year and done it quicker than them.

:07:55. > :07:56.I think this race in London was important, he ran it

:07:57. > :07:59.pretty much on his own, he ran hard and that is one thing

:08:00. > :08:03.that Mo Farah has been criticised for ran hard and that is one thing

:08:04. > :08:05.that Mo Farah has been criticised for, if he has been

:08:06. > :08:08.criticizd for anything, he has not gone other fast times,

:08:09. > :08:11.but he looked really comfortable, and there is a lot more to come,

:08:12. > :08:14.and it gave him a confidence boost because he knew that not only

:08:15. > :08:16.could he finished fast but he could control

:08:17. > :08:18.the race and the guys will let him control the race,

:08:19. > :08:22.but if he can just sit there and still be able to kick

:08:23. > :08:25.as hard or harder than the others can on that last laugh.

:08:26. > :08:28.In London we did not necessarily expect, we hoped.

:08:29. > :08:30.We came here and we started to expect of it.

:08:31. > :08:33.I am just so nervous now because this feels like we really

:08:34. > :08:35.are on the precipice of incredible greatness and a landmark

:08:36. > :08:46.I think he has adapted to that and I think he felt greater pressure

:08:47. > :08:52.last year in Beijing, we saw him with more pressure on him.

:08:53. > :08:55.This year he is happier and I think he is enjoying it and appreciating

:08:56. > :09:03.It has not been done to 40 years, can Mo Farah once more

:09:04. > :09:13.write himself into the history books tonight?

:09:14. > :09:16.It is not a case of writing himself into the history books,

:09:17. > :09:19.it is more about turning in yet another page and having

:09:20. > :09:23.Interested just to watch him out there, more on that in the second.

:09:24. > :09:25.He has got some familiar faces against him.

:09:26. > :09:27.Some names you will remember, Gebremeskel, going back to 2012.

:09:28. > :09:31.David Torrance running for Peru, the former American.

:09:32. > :09:38.What a night of the United States have had here. Edris, the young

:09:39. > :09:40.Ethiopian. Gebrhiwet, the famous

:09:41. > :09:43.Ethiopian talent. I am not sure I have seen

:09:44. > :09:45.Mo Farah this animated He is encouraging the crowd, he

:09:46. > :09:55.looks more aggressive in his nature. Normally he is more smiling,

:09:56. > :09:59.he has a real face He has got better and better,

:10:00. > :10:15.and he is strutting his A boxing match here, Mo Farah,

:10:16. > :10:20.what a privilege to be here tonight to watch this brilliant

:10:21. > :10:27.British athlete. Paul Chelimo, former Kenyan now

:10:28. > :10:41.running for the USA. On the inside, the silver medallist

:10:42. > :10:44.who chased Mo home. He wasn't that far away, you know.

:10:45. > :10:47.He was not that far away, and he actually ran a faster last

:10:48. > :10:53.Edris will be tough if it is very slow.

:10:54. > :10:57.Mo will have to be thinking, he has to concentrate all the time,

:10:58. > :10:59.stay on his feet, stay close to what is going on.

:11:00. > :11:06.Mo Farah going for the double-double.

:11:07. > :11:10.Mo Farah trying to do something that so many greats could not do.

:11:11. > :11:19.Lasse Viren did it. Ali Gabrielle Selassie couldn't do it.

:11:20. > :11:23.You could go through all the great names of the past, and Mo Farah has

:11:24. > :11:25.an opportunity here to hopefully take this fourth gold medal,

:11:26. > :11:42.Early stages, we are not expecting, we are expecting it to be

:11:43. > :11:45.not that quick, but the Ethiopians have gone to the front already,

:11:46. > :11:48.I think Mo was expecting it to be fairly slow, but even if it is

:11:49. > :11:51.a little bit quicker he will not be too disappointed,

:11:52. > :11:56.he might even be quite pleased with that.

:11:57. > :12:09.I would be quite pleased, because to be honest with you I am

:12:10. > :12:14.more nervous about Mo running that I have been in any of his races.

:12:15. > :12:18.He tripped in the 5000, he looked a bit vulnerable

:12:19. > :12:20.after the 10,000 metre race, he was a bit disturbed

:12:21. > :12:23.because of that fall, I think it is a better race

:12:24. > :12:28.for everyone, including Mo Farah, the first 62 to the first lap,

:12:29. > :12:31.it is proper distance running, we are not going to get bunching

:12:32. > :12:34.like we did in the heats and in the 1500 metres we have just

:12:35. > :12:36.seen, and it is great to see Andy Butchart.

:12:37. > :12:41.He has been running extremely well recently, he has a good fast finish

:12:42. > :12:44.and Mo Farah is realising that the pace is a little bit

:12:45. > :12:47.for real, he is taking his customer position away from the back

:12:48. > :12:49.of the field, moving on through and just relaxing.

:12:50. > :12:51.Looking good, looking strong and doing it sensibly.

:12:52. > :13:04.Gebrhiwet and Gebremeskel, both of whom have run the 5000

:13:05. > :13:06.metres quicker than Mo Farah, their best ever,

:13:07. > :13:10.in the field who have done that, but times in the 5000 are not

:13:11. > :13:12.the determinants of who get the medal.

:13:13. > :13:16.If they were, they would just hand them out beforehand. Times or

:13:17. > :13:21.irrelevant. The one who has not gone,

:13:22. > :13:24.he has moved his way through, As soon as Edris moved up,

:13:25. > :13:30.Mo Farah followed him. That is interesting, he has noticed

:13:31. > :13:37.the pace. It is a pace that these athletes

:13:38. > :13:47.are used to running out, but they are not used

:13:48. > :13:58.in the Games to have I think Mo Farah

:13:59. > :14:06.prefers it like this. That would have to be the quickest

:14:07. > :14:11.ever first kilometre in an Olympic 5000, used to hold the Olympic

:14:12. > :14:14.record for the 5000 metres many years ago, and it is not often

:14:15. > :14:17.we see this early on. Additionally given the fact that

:14:18. > :14:26.Gebremeskel, saw medallist last time, Gebrhiwet, perhaps not

:14:27. > :14:29.running as well as he used to, but so formidable,

:14:30. > :14:34.is this a genuine attempt to take on Mo Farah or content to get rid

:14:35. > :14:38.of as many people as possible. These guys have watched Mo,

:14:39. > :14:47.they have run against Mo, they have five World Championship

:14:48. > :14:49.gold medals, three Olympic gold medals are ready,

:14:50. > :14:52.they have decided, and I think this is clever and sensible

:14:53. > :14:54.on their behalf, they are saying "We cannot beat him in a slow race,

:14:55. > :14:58.so let's make it a bit faster, This makes it true distance running,

:14:59. > :15:03.it makes it a sensible way to do it and the Ethiopian team have stuck

:15:04. > :15:05.together and work this one out and now they are making it a true

:15:06. > :15:09.running race and I think it is better, I think this

:15:10. > :15:11.is better than Mo Farah. Somebody watching up there who would

:15:12. > :15:18.have always adopted these tactics. Paula, just a word on when you go

:15:19. > :15:21.to the front like this, Working together like

:15:22. > :15:31.this is so much easier than having to leave it out

:15:32. > :15:34.and grind it out on your own. Immediately they went to the front,

:15:35. > :15:37.people started to wake up and everybody who is going to be

:15:38. > :15:41.a contender in the race at this pace has got themselves up

:15:42. > :15:43.there with that lead group. So we have Gebrhiwet,

:15:44. > :15:48.Gebremeskel, they have both Edris than Mo Farah,

:15:49. > :15:53.just sitting offered a little bit. The Ugandan, who ran

:15:54. > :16:02.in the earlier race. Andrew Butchart would never have set

:16:03. > :16:05.off at this sort of pace. He has run personal best source

:16:06. > :16:08.is a long and he must be thinking, But one of the advantages

:16:09. > :16:13.of Andrew Butchart, he looks quite hot there in the middle of the pack,

:16:14. > :16:19.running strongly still, but when you go to the front and CDs

:16:20. > :16:21.to Ethiopian athletes, they have seen the 10,000 metres,

:16:22. > :16:25.they think maybe Mo has a few weaknesses, but the advantage

:16:26. > :16:28.they have got is that before the race they have talked about it,

:16:29. > :16:32.clearly, because they have shared it religiously, and they knew

:16:33. > :16:35.before they came here that they were going to run

:16:36. > :16:42.a fast race. Everyone else, we included,

:16:43. > :16:45.thought it would be a steady rate. Mo Farah now, in the middle

:16:46. > :16:48.of the pack, has been tested in endurance, they are talking

:16:49. > :16:51.about who is going to go next and whether they are going to go,

:16:52. > :16:54.that is seven laps to go in the men's 5000 metres and so far

:16:55. > :16:57.the Ethiopian plan to stretch Mo Farah, stretching out,

:16:58. > :17:00.see if he has any weaknesses, because he is faster

:17:01. > :17:03.than the fastest, they are going to find out if he is stronger

:17:04. > :17:11.than the strongest. Interesting, as we talk

:17:12. > :17:14.about Andrew Butchart, he moved up, we were thinking that if this

:17:15. > :17:22.was slow he could be dangerous He has moved into fifth place

:17:23. > :17:27.off a pretty good pace. Butchart, not frightened,

:17:28. > :17:36.not scared, giving people respect obviously that he is looking

:17:37. > :17:38.as though he belongs in this final, and so he should

:17:39. > :17:41.after a brilliant season. Britain with two men

:17:42. > :17:47.in the top seven here. That was the slowest

:17:48. > :17:51.lap, the previous one, as they come around this time,

:17:52. > :17:53.I expect this one This one looks slower

:17:54. > :18:04.than the last one. Six laps to go at they are running

:18:05. > :18:07.at around 13 minute pace, The two athletes who have done it

:18:08. > :18:11.properly, they have shared it, they have done it after a lap,

:18:12. > :18:15.my turn, your turn, I just wonder now what is their tactics,

:18:16. > :18:17.as they get into the late stages. You don't want to keep leading

:18:18. > :18:20.like this, and Gebremeskel, the leader, he was a

:18:21. > :18:22.silver-medallist in London, behind Mo Farah, he has got a strong

:18:23. > :18:25.finishing run, and I am wondering, is he going to leave himself

:18:26. > :18:29.at the front or is he going to slow himself into second place,

:18:30. > :18:39.they are controlling the race, dictating the race, but let's face

:18:40. > :18:41.it, we have seen Ethiopians You can't run from running 13

:18:42. > :18:56.minute pace and then 20. Mo Farah has gone, OK,

:18:57. > :18:58.that was your opening, I write here, right where

:18:59. > :19:04.I want to be. You slow down, I moved to the front,

:19:05. > :19:18.you speed up, I am coming with you. Five laps to go in

:19:19. > :19:20.the men's 5000 metres. The gold and silver-medallists

:19:21. > :19:22.are in the top two positions. Mo Farah is letting them know

:19:23. > :19:25.he is there and he is stronger He moves to the front

:19:26. > :19:30.and then relaxes at little. He is now trying

:19:31. > :19:33.to control this race. We have seen him do this before

:19:34. > :19:40.and he is doing it at The confidence he showed,

:19:41. > :19:43.winning the 10,000 metres, when he came out today

:19:44. > :19:45.he was really excited, He is already one of

:19:46. > :19:56.the all-time greats. He is getting into the list

:19:57. > :19:59.of the best we've ever seen. He has ran thousands

:20:00. > :20:09.of miles in training. Four laps to go in

:20:10. > :20:14.this Olympic final. Mile which could take

:20:15. > :20:22.to further Olympic glory. A mile which could take

:20:23. > :20:25.into his fourth Olympic gold medal. Andrew Butchart, what

:20:26. > :20:27.a race he is having. He is sitting in their near

:20:28. > :20:35.Mo Farah as they approach. 3.5 laps to go and Mo Farah has

:20:36. > :20:38.decided he wants to get hold The one we thought was the big

:20:39. > :20:53.danger is right there. The Americans, you

:20:54. > :20:56.mentioned Bernard Lagat. Settling down and Andrew Butchart

:20:57. > :21:01.is running a really good race, Two British athletes side-by-side

:21:02. > :21:10.in the men's 5000 metres. Andrew Butchart is going to be

:21:11. > :21:16.waiting, but don't get too excited. We know he is strong over last

:21:17. > :21:19.couple of laps and they are now Mo Farah is looking around,

:21:20. > :21:29.trying to be in control. I think he wants to be in this

:21:30. > :21:48.position with two laps to go. Danger everywhere he looks,

:21:49. > :21:57.but he knows all of these people have tried to get him in the past

:21:58. > :22:00.and none of them have managed None of these people are quicker

:22:01. > :22:09.than Mo Farah when he is at his best Butchart sitting behind

:22:10. > :22:16.the lead group. Mo Farah in the controlling

:22:17. > :22:26.position. You can just see a little

:22:27. > :22:36.exhilaration from Mo Farah. Will it be another one,

:22:37. > :22:48.an historic fourth? He has put himself into

:22:49. > :23:02.a real chance now. Mo Farah checking

:23:03. > :23:03.behind to the side. Looks at the big screen,

:23:04. > :23:06.sees them all there. Just a little push and shove

:23:07. > :23:08.and Gebrhiwet is trying He is accellerating, sprinting,

:23:09. > :23:26.he is now in the driving seat. Has he got the finish that we have

:23:27. > :23:29.seen him produce over the years? Mo Farah knows that he

:23:30. > :23:37.just has to hold on. They will attack again,

:23:38. > :23:46.but Mo Farah has more to give! Mo Farah checks that there is no

:23:47. > :23:56.danger on the inside! Chelimo is trying but he

:23:57. > :23:58.won't get him! Mo Farah is going to get gold

:23:59. > :24:03.for Great Britain again! Four Olympic titles,

:24:04. > :24:10.as Butchart runs a great race. We have never seen anybody who has

:24:11. > :24:31.been able to finish like that. Nobody is able to close

:24:32. > :24:34.a race like Mo Farah! Nobody is able to

:24:35. > :24:38.take all comers on. It doesn't matter who they are

:24:39. > :24:41.or how fast they are, it doesn't matter how

:24:42. > :24:45.quick they front before. It isn't just his speed,

:24:46. > :24:50.it is his tenacity, his desire The confidence that he has

:24:51. > :24:58.and you have to say I talked before about him

:24:59. > :25:08.being like a puppet master. Nobody has yet worked out

:25:09. > :25:14.how to cut the strings. What a fantastic

:25:15. > :25:25.performance by Mo Farah. What a privilege to be here and see

:25:26. > :25:30.this man collect his fourth Olympic gold medal

:25:31. > :25:35.and he did that one in style. He did it his way, he did it

:25:36. > :25:39.the only way he knows how. There is his family

:25:40. > :25:47.celebrating in the background. He will try to climb

:25:48. > :25:51.onto the stadium. He is now one of the greatest

:25:52. > :26:02.distance runners the If you think about it,

:26:03. > :26:07.he did it, he ran the 10,000, he is running the 5000,

:26:08. > :26:17.he has people around him, they thought he might be tired

:26:18. > :26:20.but he's going across to see if he can get to his family

:26:21. > :26:23.and his friends and supporters. Collect and other flag, go on,

:26:24. > :26:27.he is taking selfies. At the bell there was a bit

:26:28. > :26:38.of a push and shove. That lap, a bit of an exhilaration,

:26:39. > :26:46.a bit of an elbow, He is on the last

:26:47. > :26:56.lap, on his journey. Three in the bag,

:26:57. > :26:58.another on its way. They are coming out and making

:26:59. > :27:01.an effort, but he did it Every time they attacked

:27:02. > :27:04.he attacked back. I remember Alberto Salazar said

:27:05. > :27:13.he is if this competitor. This time he is running away,

:27:14. > :27:18.moving away, opening the gap. He has Chelimo chasing him

:27:19. > :27:22.but he isn't interested in that. Into the finishing straight

:27:23. > :27:27.and running 52.8 in the last lap, the fastest lap have seen

:27:28. > :27:33.from him this year. Now you have to think about this man

:27:34. > :27:41.and what he has done. 200 metres to go, to add his

:27:42. > :27:49.fourth gold medal. He is the greatest athlete we have

:27:50. > :27:52.ever had and I think he is the greatest sportsman

:27:53. > :27:54.Britain has ever had. You know, at the end of the year

:27:55. > :27:59.there will be on is given out and let's be honest, Mo Farah,

:28:00. > :28:04.for services to athletics, He should be the first to be

:28:05. > :28:11.knighted for services to athletics. What an amazing performance

:28:12. > :28:16.by an amazing man. The determination, the grit,

:28:17. > :28:19.the way he works, what a testimony I think one of the greatest distance

:28:20. > :28:29.runners the world has ever seen. For Mo Farah, the pain etched

:28:30. > :28:44.on his face, mixed with delight A lot of pressure on Mo Farah

:28:45. > :28:49.in the same way that there was a lot of pressure

:28:50. > :28:53.on Usain Bolt to deliver. People hang the gold

:28:54. > :29:09.medals around his neck, of course, that's easy

:29:10. > :29:12.to do, very easy to do. It is another thing to run those

:29:13. > :29:14.thousands of miles sometimes on his own, sometimes with friends,

:29:15. > :29:18.time away from his family and he can Usually it isn't so difficult to get

:29:19. > :29:27.to his family but he did well. All athletes go through that

:29:28. > :29:29.and all athletes train Well, I am asking you,

:29:30. > :29:37.but I haven't met too many of them. You and I watch him sometimes,

:29:38. > :29:43.he needs to do a ten mile run, and he is able to go

:29:44. > :29:46.round and round and round and round. It wasn't just a ten mile run,

:29:47. > :29:55.it was 20 that he did in the same The other thing is that in doing

:29:56. > :30:09.that most athletes would see an injury risk in that,

:30:10. > :30:11.and he is able to stay injury-free. I think the biggest factor

:30:12. > :30:15.is just his will will not be beaten. Nobody in his mind can beat him,

:30:16. > :30:19.and he won't let anybody beat him and he holds and holds

:30:20. > :30:22.that position. He controls the field to such an

:30:23. > :30:25.extent. I don't think we will ever see

:30:26. > :30:30.somebody else control On the plus side,

:30:31. > :30:33.Andy Butchart run a PB. Sadly Mo Farah would be around

:30:34. > :30:36.forever, but the future of the men's 5000 metres has

:30:37. > :30:51.taken a step forward. Well, those feet deserve a nice

:30:52. > :30:56.ice bath. At the moment, Beitia

:30:57. > :31:29.is in the number one spot. Lowe, the only athlete

:31:30. > :31:43.to stop Ruth Beitia Ruth Beitia is the Olympic champion

:31:44. > :31:54.with a jump of 1.97. Just looking down the list

:31:55. > :31:57.of previous championships, the last eight Olympics have been

:31:58. > :32:04.won with two metres or more. Heights that matter

:32:05. > :32:11.in the record books. Ruth Beitia was fourth

:32:12. > :32:14.four years ago. At the age of 37, Ruth Beitia wins

:32:15. > :32:20.the women's high jump. Well, he is enjoying these

:32:21. > :32:30.celebrations, and why not? We pretty much know that

:32:31. > :32:45.at the Olympic Games anyway the track might not be for Mo Farah,

:32:46. > :32:48.but what a performance. Yego, the event leader,

:32:49. > :32:50.Kenyon, leader in the field event It is a big throw, just over 18

:32:51. > :33:05.metres. Doesn't look good for the rest

:33:06. > :33:10.of his competition. Throwing a first round of 88.24,

:33:11. > :33:33.still a metre in the lead. I do know if he will

:33:34. > :33:57.come back from that. He may not be able to take any

:33:58. > :34:01.further part. An anxious look on his face.

:34:02. > :34:05.But he is really struggling with two throws remaining.

:34:06. > :34:08.Yego may not be able to take any further part.

:34:09. > :34:21.He looks as though he is going to have to sit and watch the rest

:34:22. > :34:24.Across to Thomas Rohler, in second place at the moment.

:34:25. > :34:42.He was injured about five weeks ago, and hasn't competed since.

:34:43. > :34:45.We wondered what his shape would be coming to these championships

:34:46. > :34:47.and in the fifth round, with an injured Yego,

:34:48. > :35:00.He was fast on the approach and he knew it.

:35:01. > :35:32.Only Burundi's second medal at Olympic Games.

:35:33. > :35:37.But Caster Semenya has been so dominant.

:35:38. > :35:44.Wayde van Niekerk gave South Africa and astonishing win in the men's

:35:45. > :35:50.100m. Sixth-place from Lynsey Sharp, a

:35:51. > :37:17.personal best. She can certainly go

:37:18. > :37:20.quicker, but tonight she is We have some news from

:37:21. > :37:33.the 5000 metres. But it does affect Andrew Bouchard.

:37:34. > :37:40.He moves up to fourth place. We have had to Mac qualifications. --

:37:41. > :37:42.disqualifications. -- two disqualifications.

:37:43. > :37:45.It was a rough and tumble final lap and the second and third place

:37:46. > :37:48.The Ethiopian and the American have both been disqualified.

:37:49. > :37:57.It does not affect Mo Farah, thank goodness.

:37:58. > :38:06.Apart from anything else, we will need to ask Mo about that.

:38:07. > :38:12.We have a lot of ground to cover here.

:38:13. > :38:20.After the ten K my legs were a little tired

:38:21. > :38:25.I was resting in my room and people were bringing me my food

:38:26. > :38:34.It is every athlete's dream. It hasn't sunk in yet. Is this the most

:38:35. > :38:38.satisfying one yet? It was not a fluke in London

:38:39. > :38:42.because I did it again here. I just want to go home

:38:43. > :38:45.now and see my children and I want to hang my medals

:38:46. > :38:50.around their neck. Hussein and Rhianna have got medals,

:38:51. > :38:53.Aisha has got a medal. The Ethiopians tried

:38:54. > :38:59.to make it a true race I was a little surprised

:39:00. > :39:06.in the first lap because I thought it would be a slow race,

:39:07. > :39:09.I got it wrong. I did not know they

:39:10. > :39:10.would play together. I have a faster pace than them

:39:11. > :39:14.in the final lap so they wanted I had to be patient and work my way

:39:15. > :39:19.through and when I hit the front I was not going

:39:20. > :39:22.to let anyone pass me. Did you know what was happening

:39:23. > :39:29.around you and behind you? Tactically you get pushed and it

:39:30. > :39:37.happens, it happens. But I just had to stay

:39:38. > :39:41.in my own game and control the race. You have incredible tenacity,

:39:42. > :39:46.we mentioned it in commentary. You love to win, but

:39:47. > :39:49.you hate to lose more. Since I was a child,

:39:50. > :39:55.I hated to lose. Even in peak, I hated losing. --

:39:56. > :40:04.even in physical education. You are the greatest athlete

:40:05. > :40:09.of all time for Britain. Remember back to 2008 and Olympic

:40:10. > :40:15.experience back then. Even in your wildest dreams,

:40:16. > :40:20.that you could do this? To be honest, I can't quite believe

:40:21. > :40:23.it. I wished that I could have just

:40:24. > :40:26.one medal, that was how I was running cross-country, 25th as

:40:27. > :40:34.a junior, won the European Juniors. I won the European juniors,

:40:35. > :40:36.it has been a long journey but if you dream up something

:40:37. > :40:39.and you have the ambition and you are willing to work hard,

:40:40. > :40:42.you can achieve your dreams. It is something that I have been

:40:43. > :40:45.working hard on for years and years. Sometimes there is disappointed that

:40:46. > :40:48.you need to take it Each race I try to learn some in,

:40:49. > :40:52.be it good or bad. I don't see my children, and for me

:40:53. > :40:59.I was going to miss out on anything. I want to do it for them

:41:00. > :41:02.and that is what drives me. All of that time that

:41:03. > :41:05.I will never catch up on, the time I miss with my children,

:41:06. > :41:08.but at the same time if I can I'd like to tell everybody

:41:09. > :41:18.back home, thank I've had some great messages on

:41:19. > :41:25.Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. The big news was the

:41:26. > :41:28.disqualifications. We were trying to work out

:41:29. > :41:30.the rule infringement. There has been a lot of pushing

:41:31. > :41:33.and shoving on this final lap and one or two have

:41:34. > :41:42.definitely stepped. Edris stepped off during the race on

:41:43. > :41:50.the top bend with about three Macs to go. Ahmed has been disqualified,

:41:51. > :41:59.Edris has been disqualified. There was a bit of push and shove

:42:00. > :42:02.there but they have been disqualified, we are told,

:42:03. > :42:07.for stepping on the inside. Whether this happens on the top

:42:08. > :42:10.bend or not I certainly Let's just see if anybody

:42:11. > :42:13.takes a step. Well, anyway, I can tell

:42:14. > :42:15.you that that is what we So what it means is that is

:42:16. > :42:26.Andrew Butchert is in fourth place. Bernhard Langer gets the bronze.

:42:27. > :42:29.Gebrhiwet will get the silver. One or two don't even know that yet.

:42:30. > :42:33.We will try and tidy that up as much as we can after the next race.

:42:34. > :42:38.An extraordinary effort there from Mo Farah and the drama

:42:39. > :42:40.of the disqualifications, not to mention the incredible

:42:41. > :42:49.Farah is untouchable, but Andrew Bouchard is up to fourth place.

:42:50. > :42:52.The women's relay race is not too far away.

:42:53. > :42:56.So the British quartet involved here is getting ready.

:42:57. > :43:08.Christine Ohuruogu, Eilidh Doyle, Diamond...

:43:09. > :43:12.The final stages of the javelin final.

:43:13. > :43:17.It has been a brilliant men's javelin final.

:43:18. > :43:20.The Olympic champion has the final throw to stop his title being ripped

:43:21. > :43:24.away from him and being given to Rohler of Germany.

:43:25. > :43:34.A tall order for the man from Trinidad.

:43:35. > :43:55.And for the first time since 1936 in Berlin, a German

:43:56. > :43:58.has won the men's javelin Olympic gold.

:43:59. > :44:02.The next final, the women's 4x400 relay.

:44:03. > :44:05.Eilidh Doyle has been brought in after her effort in the hurdles.

:44:06. > :44:17.She says she likes the first leg. She was eighth in the hurdles final.

:44:18. > :44:32.Ukraine may be a threat, Jamaica in the US are strong.

:44:33. > :44:36.Great Britain and Northern Ireland had the fourth quickest time in

:44:37. > :44:41.qualifying. Ukraine just behind them.

:44:42. > :44:46.No team got into a terribly much, we did not have a lot

:44:47. > :44:54.So the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team.

:44:55. > :45:01.Emily Diamond is on the third leg, Ohuruogu was on the final leg.

:45:02. > :45:05.Three countries have won the medals in the last four Olympic Games.

:45:06. > :45:10.Exactly the same order, United States, Russia and Jamaica.

:45:11. > :45:13.Russia is not here but certainly the United States and Jamaica

:45:14. > :45:29.Australia in lane two, Great Britain in three.

:45:30. > :45:31.Ukraine just outside them and then be two favourites,

:45:32. > :45:35.Stephenie Ann McPherson being brought in on the first leg

:45:36. > :45:37.therefore to make a stop Williams-Mills will bring them home.

:45:38. > :45:54.Poland in the eighth Lane, same as in the heats.

:45:55. > :46:01.Reason the finalists in the individual. -- three semifinalists.

:46:02. > :46:32.I think they are just hoping that Mills can hold on.

:46:33. > :46:42.Morgan Mitchell and Anneliese Ribbit, the strongest

:46:43. > :46:52.Hoping they can be in any sort of position.

:46:53. > :47:00.It will be a difficult race for Italy in race one.

:47:01. > :47:04.Great Britain has a chance here for a medal.

:47:05. > :47:22.But Jamaica and the US will battle it out for the gold.

:47:23. > :47:25.Still perfect conditions again for the final of the women's

:47:26. > :47:39.Doyle starts for the British, running quite strongly.

:47:40. > :47:45.Courtney was sixth in the US trials but ran well in the heats.

:47:46. > :47:48.She is being chased down by McPherson.

:47:49. > :47:56.McPherson and Jackson coming in again.

:47:57. > :47:58.An elongated stated that difficult to tell and additionally do

:47:59. > :48:02.what we can see is that it has been a good run from Doyle so far.

:48:03. > :48:04.Stephanie going quite quickly for Jamaica.

:48:05. > :48:10.Muir running a good first leg for Jamaica.

:48:11. > :48:15.Canada, one of the teams that Great Britain at fearful of.

:48:16. > :48:27.We need to get a good hard and in here and get around and try

:48:28. > :48:30.At the very least, be in contention for it.

:48:31. > :48:35.You can control things from you.

:48:36. > :48:42.Good experience and she is now in third.

:48:43. > :48:45.She needs to stay strong for the second 200.

:48:46. > :48:51.She was upset to not make the individuals hereafter feeling

:48:52. > :48:55.she got the better of Ohuruogu in the European Championships.

:48:56. > :49:04.As the United States ahead of Jamaica and then a big gap back

:49:05. > :49:11.She is delivering to the handover and Emily Diamond is waiting

:49:12. > :49:13.for Canada is now Wednesday, then Poland and Great Britain.

:49:14. > :49:16.Emily Diamond has a bit to do because Australia

:49:17. > :49:22.Emily Diamond checking on behind those two now.

:49:23. > :49:27.They fell apart in the last 15 metres but Emily Diamond has to be

:49:28. > :49:31.patient here and give Christine Ohuruogu a chance.

:49:32. > :49:33.Emily is looking strong and looking good.

:49:34. > :49:44.As she comes around with a 100 to go this is so important.

:49:45. > :49:50.Canada do not have much tax, they have a 400 metre hurdler

:49:51. > :50:01.USA lead, Jamaica second, Great Britain in third.

:50:02. > :50:05.Ohuruogu running now for bronze for Great Britain.

:50:06. > :50:10.Far away in another land, the battle between the United States

:50:11. > :50:11.and Jamaica with Allyson Felix and the anchor leg

:50:12. > :50:17.Surely Jamaica have a chance to lead but look at the Gap and it is a gap

:50:18. > :50:22.back to Christine Ohuruogu and she has been carrying the hopes.

:50:23. > :50:30.She finishes so strongly that she has the Ukraine and Canada

:50:31. > :50:36.and the Ukrainian with Zemlyak and Zemlyak did well in the heats.

:50:37. > :50:42.The United States coming home and Allyson Felix, the wonderful

:50:43. > :50:46.brilliant Allyson Felix going for gold and going to win old.

:50:47. > :50:49.Jamaica has a silver and behind them Ohuruogu was holding on.

:50:50. > :50:55.Holding on, holding on to take the bronze.

:50:56. > :51:09.They achieved it someone does make it in some style. She has all of

:51:10. > :51:13.that experience. The United States and Jamaica

:51:14. > :51:16.were always going to be a long way clear and we expected

:51:17. > :51:23.the United States to win. If Jamaica weren't in the leading

:51:24. > :51:25.into the anchor leg, Allyson Felix was always

:51:26. > :51:27.going to win. That was a very good run

:51:28. > :51:36.from the British quartet. Well, what are run from Christine

:51:37. > :51:39.at the end and what a performance Anyka hung on, gave

:51:40. > :51:43.the baton the Emily Diamond. She let them come up

:51:44. > :51:53.on the shoulder. The split times, a great solid start

:51:54. > :52:00.on the first leg from Eilidh. At this point already the US

:52:01. > :52:09.and Jamaica are away. Great Britain are in a tussle

:52:10. > :52:13.with Poland and Canada and then this is where we got

:52:14. > :52:19.a little bit worried. Canada and Poland and Australia

:52:20. > :52:21.go past Anyika. But this was a great

:52:22. > :52:26.run from Emily Diamond. A little nudge, using her elbows

:52:27. > :52:29.and then around the top bend. Came into the home straight and then

:52:30. > :52:42.Ohuruogu would have thought, thank They will chase me,

:52:43. > :52:50.but good luck, everybody. Ohuruogu has been a great servant

:52:51. > :52:52.to British Athletics as well. A former champion and of course

:52:53. > :53:02.at the twilight of her career, we heard her interview the other

:53:03. > :53:04.day, she was hinting that perhaps Ohuruogu, strong, determined,

:53:05. > :53:13.fighting for her team, winning the battle

:53:14. > :53:37.in home and claiming This is the last I will see her in

:53:38. > :53:42.Olympic Games and perhaps even a major championship. She is nearer

:53:43. > :53:46.the end than the start but not as a wonderful anchor leg to take bronze,

:53:47. > :53:49.a long way behind the USA and Jamaica. Medal is certainly be

:53:50. > :53:59.celebrated. Sadly disappointed that the menswear

:54:00. > :54:08.disqualified. taken their chance and take

:54:09. > :54:12.their medal with the bronze behind the United States and what a run

:54:13. > :54:15.that was from the United States. A bronze medal for Great Britain

:54:16. > :54:21.and Northern Ireland. Ohuruogu now matches Steve Buckley,

:54:22. > :54:24.two British athletes to win successive medals

:54:25. > :54:32.at three different Olympics. That athletes from athletics,

:54:33. > :54:33.not all Olympians. A fantastic achievement

:54:34. > :54:40.for those women. That was a really competitive

:54:41. > :54:42.race for the bronze. We knew the US was always

:54:43. > :54:50.going to get a bit of a threat from Jamaica, but they were always

:54:51. > :54:52.able to hold that. The real risk was for bronze,

:54:53. > :54:54.with Ukraine running Maybe a bit of a threat

:54:55. > :55:02.from Canada or Poland, A really nice first leg

:55:03. > :55:09.from Eilidh Doyle, setting it up. This was the breakthrough,

:55:10. > :55:19.with Emily Diamond getting them back in the lead and giving Ohuruogu

:55:20. > :55:21.the ability to hold. She isn't really a chaser,

:55:22. > :55:24.but she is very strong at the end Kudos to the quotas

:55:25. > :55:37.for setting this up As you can see, Christine

:55:38. > :55:41.coming under threat. They anticipated this and set this

:55:42. > :55:50.up perfectly, with Christine able to use the strength that she has

:55:51. > :55:53.and that we have seen Three different teams

:55:54. > :55:56.were coming up behind her. Christine is so strong

:55:57. > :56:00.and she was able to hold them off. There was a sniff of a medal

:56:01. > :56:17.and they may not be the quickest girls, but they have every

:56:18. > :56:19.confidence in each other. Eilidh is always strong and gives

:56:20. > :56:22.the girls exactly what they need. She had a sickness at the beginning

:56:23. > :56:32.of this championships Congratulations to Great Britain

:56:33. > :56:40.for the girls in the 4x4. There is a medal ceremony about take

:56:41. > :56:43.place for the men's 1500 metres They haven't won the 1500

:56:44. > :56:52.since 1908. He has had some problems over

:56:53. > :57:11.the last 12 months with injuries. Trained our lot with

:57:12. > :57:13.Mo over the years. The American contingent behind us

:57:14. > :57:18.went absolutely crazy. The last 100 is always

:57:19. > :57:29.the best bit of the race. It is always a question

:57:30. > :57:32.of where he is when he begins Nick Willis, what a bronze medal

:57:33. > :57:40.for the New Zealander. He would have enjoyed

:57:41. > :57:45.that tactical race. After having won medals

:57:46. > :57:47.at the World Championships, Matt Centrowitz, will

:57:48. > :58:09.be Olympic champion. Centrowitz, a gold-medallist

:58:10. > :59:53.for the USA. Well, celebrations for

:59:54. > :59:55.Spain's Ruth Beitia, after winning that rather lacklustre

:59:56. > :59:57.high jump competition. The 37-year-old actually retired

:59:58. > :00:03.after London and then after two months she thought it was boring

:00:04. > :00:15.and got stuck back into training. Here she is, forth in London 2012,

:00:16. > :00:18.Olympic champion here in Rio. The same height

:00:19. > :00:27.for all three medals. And Morgan Lake, a credible

:00:28. > :00:48.1.93, in 10th place. Well, there's Julius Yego

:00:49. > :00:51.on the left, Walcott on the right. It has been a long time since

:00:52. > :01:02.Germany took the title, in 1936. That was in Berlin all

:01:03. > :01:05.of those years ago. It has taken so many

:01:06. > :01:12.years to take that title. And Wolcott was the

:01:13. > :01:25.champion four years ago. There are the GB women

:01:26. > :01:37.from the 4x400. Enjoying their lap

:01:38. > :01:38.of honour with the So many of the girls have been

:01:39. > :01:50.working so hard to stay injury free, first of all, to put

:01:51. > :01:53.themselves in a good position. I was on a train journey

:01:54. > :01:55.with Emily Diamond, having a long chat about what has happened

:01:56. > :02:00.in their career. She has had a good, solid

:02:01. > :02:04.winter, which has made She was six during

:02:05. > :02:11.the championships. -- she was sick. She couldn't

:02:12. > :02:17.perform to her highest level. I was at the kitting out

:02:18. > :02:23.process for Emily Diamond and she was like a little

:02:24. > :02:26.kid, getting her kit. For her to come through,

:02:27. > :02:30.the first Olympics and to get And of course, Christine pretty

:02:31. > :02:43.much said after her solo run that it was pretty

:02:44. > :02:45.much it for her. And now we have seen her leave

:02:46. > :02:48.the stage with yet I said it before, it equals

:02:49. > :02:52.what previously was be held by Steve to win an Olympic medal in three

:02:53. > :02:54.consecutive Olympic medals, Her whole career has been great,

:02:55. > :03:03.from the time she kicked off. Back in Melbourne in 2006

:03:04. > :03:08.when she won that gold medal And everybody was flabbergasted

:03:09. > :03:16.when she burst onto the scene. So for me it's a real, true,

:03:17. > :03:20.great end to a wonderful career. And she is such a matriarchal figure

:03:21. > :03:29.within that team. They look to her for the leadership,

:03:30. > :03:34.that cohesive nature that she has, getting girls on-side

:03:35. > :03:36.and getting them to believe that they are capable

:03:37. > :03:38.of winning a medal. She is the backbone of

:03:39. > :03:39.that quartet. Now she is going, what she will have

:03:40. > :03:47.taught them and the legacy... She said, you can do this,

:03:48. > :03:50.and they have. So hopefully they can

:03:51. > :03:56.carry that forward. Well, you can see the catwalk

:03:57. > :04:01.is happening, and I know this is one of your favourite part

:04:02. > :04:03.of the evening, Michael. The USA, give them

:04:04. > :04:06.a mark out of ten. I don't think they will

:04:07. > :04:13.live up to last year. For having the same name

:04:14. > :04:25.three times, I think You would expect more from three

:04:26. > :04:27.guys on the team all from the same family.

:04:28. > :04:31.They have had plenty of time to get this choreographed.

:04:32. > :04:33.No, they wouldn't, they are very understated.

:04:34. > :04:59.It looks like they are giving a winning salute in case

:05:00. > :05:15.I did say that and that was a major mistake.

:05:16. > :05:17.A few disqualifications later and they got

:05:18. > :05:22.They will not be the favourites, let us say that.

:05:23. > :05:37.Such a legacy in this event, but not the defending champions for 2012.

:05:38. > :05:39.That was the Bahamas, who are not as good

:05:40. > :05:44.The US are the champions from last year, the world champions.

:05:45. > :05:48.LaShawn Merritt has been brought in on that team.

:05:49. > :05:51.Jamaica looked very good in the semifinals, but the standard

:05:52. > :05:57.Teams like Botswana, who had three athletes in the 400 metres

:05:58. > :06:00.for the first time, a couple of them went out in the rounds

:06:01. > :06:25.Do not count out Belgium with the Borlee twins plus one brother

:06:26. > :06:32.It will be the same like for the women.

:06:33. > :06:36.The US and Jamaica for the gold, I believe and then it will be

:06:37. > :06:40.I was thinking that if there was a particular change that will be

:06:41. > :06:42.crucial for both teams, whether it will be with Jamaica

:06:43. > :06:46.when they have to pass on to Jurong, because in the past he has blasted

:06:47. > :06:48.off and lost a medal rather than gained it.

:06:49. > :06:53.I wonder if he will have a wiser head and rain himself in?

:06:54. > :06:59.They do not have a world-class worldbeater podium to 400 metre

:07:00. > :07:02.on the team so they need to stay close to the US,

:07:03. > :07:13.The anchor will be the problem for them

:07:14. > :07:17.The anchor will be the problem for them because Merritt is the anchor.

:07:18. > :07:21.So, for the final time and the 2016 Rio Olympics, I will handed over

:07:22. > :07:34.A pity that Great Britain are not in this.

:07:35. > :07:37.Just a mention, going back to the women, Kelly Massey also

:07:38. > :07:48.She did very well in the qualifying yesterday.

:07:49. > :07:51.A shame that Great Britain's men could not be part of the party.

:07:52. > :07:54.And Kelly will get her medal for playing her part

:07:55. > :07:57.in what was a great finish for the British team.

:07:58. > :07:59.What sort of finish will we see here?

:08:00. > :08:02.Michael was making the point that one or two of these teams

:08:03. > :08:08.could have been so much better, including Botswana.

:08:09. > :08:18.Their very good junior is injured and not here.

:08:19. > :08:20.The Bahamas have bought Mathieu back in.

:08:21. > :08:22.Chris Brown has been moved to the final leg.

:08:23. > :08:24.Mathieu was not running so well this year.

:08:25. > :08:27.Two of them were in the team who won, defeated the US

:08:28. > :08:32.The scrap will be on for the bronze medal,

:08:33. > :08:36.Belgium ran a national record to get into the final.

:08:37. > :08:38.Jamaica have juggled their team around a bit.

:08:39. > :08:42.Fitzroy has been brought in, Francis on the final leg.

:08:43. > :08:51.And Poland just seem to find something a bit extra

:08:52. > :08:58.It is wonderful that they are in the final event here in Rio.

:08:59. > :09:05.They have played their part, of course in the athletics

:09:06. > :09:07.programme, that incredible surprise, seems so long ago now

:09:08. > :09:32.Four men, each trying to run their team into a medal position.

:09:33. > :09:49.Brazil, Poland, Jamaica, USA, Bahamas, Botswana and Cuba.

:09:50. > :09:52.America will be looking to really stamp their authority on this early.

:09:53. > :09:58.Hall has been given the job to go off first and McQuay will be

:09:59. > :10:04.on the second leg stop he runs quite well and he is on a brilliant run.

:10:05. > :10:10.You would think that by the time to get to the lead,

:10:11. > :10:14.the US will have this by the scruff of the neck but I not sure that

:10:15. > :10:18.The Bahamas with Russell going first is running a good first leg.

:10:19. > :10:21.Botswana, as expected with Isaac stretching out had not run

:10:22. > :10:23.so well individually but doing well for his team.

:10:24. > :10:37.Good run from the US and also for Jamaica.

:10:38. > :10:43.An exciting young Botswana and who has just turned 18.

:10:44. > :10:51.But the man who has it for the United States is McQuay.

:10:52. > :10:57.The huge roar from the crowd is for Brazil.

:10:58. > :11:00.They are trying to hang on in seventh place at the moment.

:11:01. > :11:03.The US is out in front and Botswana are hanging on.

:11:04. > :11:13.Jamaica got a way to go to get into this scrap here.

:11:14. > :11:15.It is the US, and Botswana have frontloaded their team.

:11:16. > :11:19.They have bought their best to run as an early and that is why

:11:20. > :11:22.they are going to come home in the league it in the USA

:11:23. > :11:25.I don't think this will last too long.

:11:26. > :11:29.The Borlees are trying to run for a medal here.

:11:30. > :11:32.Yes, Dylan Borlee for Belgium at the moment.

:11:33. > :11:43.He will run past Borlee was not been running too of the season.

:11:44. > :11:45.For Jamaica, Fitzroy Dunkley has come in after not running

:11:46. > :11:48.in the heats and he is trying to close the gap down.

:11:49. > :11:50.Dangerous, dangerous in the relay to try and give out

:11:51. > :11:54.A little bit of a stumble here from the United States,

:11:55. > :12:00.The US lead but not by much, however.

:12:01. > :12:05.Chris Brown from the Bahamas will be taken on Francis to try and run

:12:06. > :12:12.And then on the last leg for Belgium it is Kevin Borlee.

:12:13. > :12:43.A massive scrap for the bronze medal. Botswana trying to hang on as

:12:44. > :12:44.Merritt moves away. France is trying to get there, Borlee trying to

:12:45. > :12:47.squeeze through. Jamaica for silver

:12:48. > :12:51.and Chris Brown hangs The charging Borlee

:12:52. > :12:55.could not quite get there. It was a far more difficult race

:12:56. > :12:59.in the USA may have expected. But Merritt, once he had

:13:00. > :13:02.the baton in the lead, They frontloaded their team

:13:03. > :13:10.and they hung in and they hung in. It was such a shame

:13:11. > :13:12.that they could not quite Was well judged by Jamaica

:13:13. > :13:17.and the Bahamas. Chris Brown hanging

:13:18. > :13:19.on after all of those years, There he is, being

:13:20. > :13:42.lifted up by his team. The Bahamas had Gardner on the third

:13:43. > :13:45.leg, he put them back in it. Chris Brown brought it home.

:13:46. > :13:48.The Borlees, a number national record for Belgium but not

:13:49. > :13:52.That was a great race and the US did win but not as expected

:13:53. > :13:54.in the fashion and manner that we expected.

:13:55. > :13:56.We thought they would be far more clear.

:13:57. > :14:00.There is LaShawn Merritt, and he was the anchor for the US.

:14:01. > :14:04.Once he had the position on the final leg.

:14:05. > :14:12.He first competed in an Olympic Games back in 2000 in Sydney

:14:13. > :14:20.I felt sorry for Botswana, who did not quite get it

:14:21. > :14:24.But as you said, Isaac handing on their two is abundant.

:14:25. > :14:26.They top loaded and that was the risk.

:14:27. > :14:28.This change here is where it went wrong for Botswana

:14:29. > :14:31.because they should have had the lead at that point.

:14:32. > :14:35.And the Borlees, Jonathan had not been running well this season

:14:36. > :14:42.but they lifted their game for the relays.

:14:43. > :14:45.This is the position going into the final leg.

:14:46. > :14:51.LaShawn Merritt against Botswana and look at this finish.

:14:52. > :14:53.Merritt is the way, he is into it and is

:14:54. > :14:58.Botswana is about to be eaten up by the fast finishing Chris Brown

:14:59. > :15:00.but, more importantly, a great finish by Francis four

:15:01. > :15:03.Jamaica and for Belgium as well, Borlee very nearly got there.

:15:04. > :15:15.Jamaica and for Belgium as well, Borlee very nearly got there.

:15:16. > :15:19.Not merely for the US winning it but behind

:15:20. > :15:22.Michael, I know you would have enjoyed that.

:15:23. > :15:25.It was a wonderful race in a wonderful

:15:26. > :15:31.In this US ten, I think, I knew all along that they would come

:15:32. > :15:34.through, it was not a strong team and it has not been for some time.

:15:35. > :15:36.They rely heavily on LaShawn Merritt.

:15:37. > :15:38.He is able to work in up to leave little bit

:15:39. > :15:43.It was wonderful to watch because tactics in the in the 4x400

:15:44. > :15:52.relay where some people will frontload their team

:15:53. > :15:54.and then hope that their anchor can hold on.

:15:55. > :15:59.And the wonderful Chris Brown, having run so many relays running

:16:00. > :16:04.finally in 2012 finally against the US.

:16:05. > :16:06.In the great and leg there for Jamaica.

:16:07. > :16:09.You want to put runners who can chase on your rank leg

:16:10. > :16:13.He chased down what's one and chased down and held off Chris Brown.

:16:14. > :16:15.LaShawn Merritt will be happy to get a gold.

:16:16. > :16:23.It was fantastic to see and eight fantastic competition to win

:16:24. > :16:32.Well done to LaShawn Merritt and the United States.

:16:33. > :16:40.And Chris Brown, you know in his career he has finished fourth

:16:41. > :16:43.so many times he did not want to be fourth there.

:16:44. > :16:54.The Bahamas hanging on for the bronze medal.

:16:55. > :16:57.And in the women's race there was a bronze medal

:16:58. > :17:00.for Great Britain and Northern Ireland behind

:17:01. > :17:04.They were a long wait clear, those two in that race

:17:05. > :17:10.and afterwards the British spoke to us.

:17:11. > :17:22.To do that in an Olympics, how wonderful.

:17:23. > :17:25.We try to look at it as another relay to do the same

:17:26. > :17:28.plan we have always done and I want to try to give everybody

:17:29. > :17:38.I wanted to give them the best possible start.

:17:39. > :17:43.And you took away control and you attack the first 200

:17:44. > :17:45.and you managed to hang on coming down the home straight.

:17:46. > :17:57.But, you know, I tried to keep my composure as much

:17:58. > :18:00.as I could and obviously been a good position position for Emily

:18:01. > :18:08.and I started with, you know, the 4x400 with these girls...

:18:09. > :18:12.Can you imagine me, Olympic medallist?

:18:13. > :18:15.You have had a great Olympics, Emily.

:18:16. > :18:21.I would like to thank the national lottery for helping as have

:18:22. > :18:26.all these practices and stuff because without that it

:18:27. > :18:36.We come out here and we knew that the bronze medal would be up

:18:37. > :18:40.for grabs and I am so proud of these girls for being able to do it.

:18:41. > :18:42.So much noise in the Stadium tonight, there is a fantastic

:18:43. > :18:47.They will whisk you off now for the medal ceremony.

:18:48. > :18:59.The second British athlete, Christine, after Steve

:19:00. > :19:09.Baddeley to win a medal in three seperate Olympics.

:19:10. > :19:12.About the midnight hour striking, there was a certain -- was as

:19:13. > :19:17.another Cinderella moment for you? I am not changed into a pumpkin yet,

:19:18. > :19:21.but it has been difficult and I would like to start enjoying

:19:22. > :19:25.the last ten years or so of my sport but it is nice to go

:19:26. > :19:30.home with a medal. I think we all worked quite hard

:19:31. > :19:34.over the last few days, the last season to make the team

:19:35. > :19:48.because we knew we could medal here. Annie, credit to her for only come

:19:49. > :19:51.in for the relay. Really hard to pull ourselves together and come

:19:52. > :19:56.together as a team because we knew there was a medal to take but you

:19:57. > :19:59.don't get it until you get it. We really had to stick in and stay

:20:00. > :20:04.focused and work together and keep it other's spirits up because it was

:20:05. > :20:09.difficult. We have all these brilliant runners but it's difficult

:20:10. > :20:13.to make sure we keep our energy up and keep our focus and come out and

:20:14. > :20:21.get the job done. I'm so proud of them, we had a good job done today.

:20:22. > :20:25.And also all of the girls who have helped get us to where we are.

:20:26. > :20:28.We all put this together over the last couple of years,

:20:29. > :20:32.so thank you, girls, and thank you to Nick.

:20:33. > :20:39.Eilidh, can you pay tribute to what Christine has done?

:20:40. > :20:56.I chatted to Christine before we came out and asked

:20:57. > :21:00.I said that I almost feel happy when she is in the team with us.

:21:01. > :21:08.We are so happy for her and we love her.

:21:09. > :21:19.I didn't plan to say this, but I just want to say that I've

:21:20. > :21:22.gone through you know four different Games and I just want to say that

:21:23. > :21:25.each camp we've gone too has been better and better.

:21:26. > :21:33.Each camp that we have, in preparation of the Games,

:21:34. > :21:39.People don't see all of the hard work that goes in, we have to train,

:21:40. > :21:43.we have to transition from home, acclimatise to the country

:21:44. > :21:46.we are going into, but we can't do that without the people who come out

:21:47. > :21:51.weeks or months before we come in and work together to put things

:21:52. > :21:54.down for us so we can prepare to do our best.

:21:55. > :22:03.I am not just saying it because I have to

:22:04. > :22:08.We are the best prepared and it is down to the people

:22:09. > :22:12.If you play, thank you for supporting us,

:22:13. > :22:15.helping us get here, and if you don't play

:22:16. > :22:16.think of it as investment towards future generations

:22:17. > :22:27.We had a record medal haul today and that's down to our preparation

:22:28. > :22:30.and the funding that comes in to help us do our job.

:22:31. > :22:32.I really do feel honoured to be part of the British team

:22:33. > :22:34.because we are always the best prepared,

:22:35. > :22:44.Good timing. You can see how well Great Britain have done on the

:22:45. > :22:54.athletics medal table. The target was for 79,

:22:55. > :22:56.so they have achieved that and there were some very close ones

:22:57. > :22:59.as well, like Adam Gemili who came close to another medal and of course

:23:00. > :23:04.the disqualification in the 4x4. What Christine said was very

:23:05. > :23:06.interesting, that she feels the camps and operations

:23:07. > :23:11.are getting better. It takes a long time to turn

:23:12. > :23:18.the tanker and see the progress. I think it is great

:23:19. > :23:21.that the athletes are recognising Now they can clearly see

:23:22. > :23:24.the investment is going When you see all of these close

:23:25. > :23:30.calls, near misses, it is only going to encourage them to be more

:23:31. > :23:35.positive in what is happening. So for me it is just a great start

:23:36. > :23:40.for the British team. And it is another step

:23:41. > :23:43.on the legacy of 2012. We spoke about how we would never

:23:44. > :23:52.beat that because it was the home advantage, but it did give

:23:53. > :23:55.the confidence to the athletes, that they could really build

:23:56. > :23:58.on that, go out there and perform and this will do the same

:23:59. > :24:00.for the next generation. Michael, you have seen,

:24:01. > :24:02.working with the BBC since 2004, you have seen a big transition

:24:03. > :24:05.in the progress of It has been a dramatic

:24:06. > :24:10.transformation. The real transition was Antony's

:24:11. > :24:20.policies, how he was taking a tougher approach and I

:24:21. > :24:25.think that was needed. Before that there was this rewarding

:24:26. > :24:29.of mediocrity, but Coming off the track saying,

:24:30. > :24:38.you know what, I want more mud It was necessary because with 2012

:24:39. > :24:48.looming they needed to perform. But it was a change in the attitude

:24:49. > :24:55.that was so necessary. You aren't going to get by just

:24:56. > :24:58.thinking you can come here any more, If you are capable of winning

:24:59. > :25:03.medals do that. Not all of them, let's just say

:25:04. > :25:11.that, it is still tough The incentive of funding as well

:25:12. > :25:15.is what drives them. If you know you can achieve

:25:16. > :25:18.a certain benchmarks, It is, at the athletes want to get

:25:19. > :25:22.out there and perform We can talk about the legacy effect,

:25:23. > :25:31.but there is a Mo legacy. We saw Butchart, he is

:25:32. > :25:35.in fourth place. If you had said Forth years ago

:25:36. > :25:39.you think we will have another British person in fourth position,

:25:40. > :25:45.you wouldn't have thought But that's because he has seen Mo do

:25:46. > :25:51.it and he knows what he has to do. Seeing the work, knowing

:25:52. > :25:56.what you have to do and being Would he have gone to the places

:25:57. > :26:02.where you develop and get the acclimatisation,

:26:03. > :26:05.you change your training, I think the big one at this year

:26:06. > :26:15.is leaving his full-time job and going to be able to concentrate

:26:16. > :26:18.fully on athletics and then going away to altitude training,

:26:19. > :26:21.seeing that work for him and this year getting the chance to go

:26:22. > :26:26.to the altitude camp in the Pyrenees I am getting closer

:26:27. > :26:36.and that's what I need to do. Talking about the funding,

:26:37. > :26:38.the motivation to become a full-time athlete,

:26:39. > :26:41.because it is then that you can really learn your craft,

:26:42. > :26:43.when you aren't juggling a job and everything else,

:26:44. > :26:46.which is why we have seen such enormous success

:26:47. > :26:50.across a range of sports. It is rubbing shoulders

:26:51. > :26:55.with people who you knew, who were doing very well

:26:56. > :26:59.on the world circuit. When you see that and think,

:27:00. > :27:01.they are the same as me, It is that rubbing shoulders

:27:02. > :27:05.with unique athletes Well, Mo Farah will be out shortly

:27:06. > :27:10.for the medal ceremony for the 5000 metres,

:27:11. > :27:13.so let's take you through his golden The crowd are lifting him

:27:14. > :27:25.and cheering him on! For Great

:27:26. > :27:40.Britain! The dangerous 1500 metre

:27:41. > :27:57.man is in third place. The arms have got to pump,

:27:58. > :28:27.knees have to come up high, Mo Farah is attempting

:28:28. > :28:55.to retain his 10,000 He moves out and he opens both legs

:28:56. > :29:07.of his and he is sprinting away! They succumb to the inevitable

:29:08. > :29:10.and bow to his superiority! He knows that he just have to hold

:29:11. > :29:35.the curb and hold the lead. They will attack again

:29:36. > :29:39.but he has more to give. He is going to get gold

:29:40. > :30:07.for Great Britain again! We have never seen anybody who has

:30:08. > :30:26.been able to finish like that. Nobody who is able to close

:30:27. > :30:35.a race like Mo Farah. Nobody who is able to take

:30:36. > :30:38.all comers on, it does matter It doesn't matter how quick

:30:39. > :30:42.they have run before. We start back in 2011,

:30:43. > :30:54.then they go onto 2012, 2015, You remember the 10,000,

:30:55. > :31:27.it was a very tough race and it He wasn't slacking. He learned that

:31:28. > :31:31.he went to sue there. That was a silver.

:31:32. > :31:34.What do you think about his future and his ambition is to keep

:31:35. > :31:38.Are we going to see him doing to events in London?

:31:39. > :31:41.I think it depends on his training, whether he gets through

:31:42. > :31:43.the winter without an injury and whether he comes into it feeling

:31:44. > :31:49.He can win again over 10,000 metres and 5000 metres, but whether he can

:31:50. > :31:52.do the two depends on how well he can recover,

:31:53. > :31:55.because is getting older and you can't fight time.

:31:56. > :32:00.And obviously a couple of years after that.

:32:01. > :32:13.I think that Bernard Lagat is a huge exception.

:32:14. > :32:23.Mo is already an even greater exception. Gary Lineker's tweet has

:32:24. > :32:25.come up there. I think he will be on his journey

:32:26. > :32:29.home from match of Samuel L Jackson kind of trumps Gary

:32:30. > :32:38.Lineker. Amazing messages coming

:32:39. > :32:45.through for Mo Farah from all kinds of people,

:32:46. > :32:48.from all kinds of walks of life. Because people recognise greatness,

:32:49. > :32:52.whether they are athletic fans through and through or just love

:32:53. > :32:55.sport, then when they see someone like Usain Bolt

:32:56. > :33:01.it is very special. Cause of his consistency and his

:33:02. > :33:09.longevity as you just outlined. The consistency with which he goes

:33:10. > :33:12.in the championships and he wins and he wins both events

:33:13. > :33:22.time and time again. Paula said, he's got this, he's got

:33:23. > :33:26.this. We are on the edge of something so special. We have seen

:33:27. > :33:30.people in this Olympic Games coming here as favourites with the

:33:31. > :33:34.reputation, but the Olympic Games doesn't care about that, everybody

:33:35. > :33:41.else wants to win and be the best. Absolutely, but they can't do it.

:33:42. > :33:48.Neither over the 5000 North 10,000, because that title belongs to

:33:49. > :33:52.somebody else - Mo Farah. -- nor the 10,000. At the bell, who refused to

:33:53. > :33:56.relinquish the position that he wanted. I think it is fantastic, it

:33:57. > :34:01.is a privilege to see how he has progressed from that junior athlete

:34:02. > :34:05.who was wanting, who didn't quite make it, with the decisions he's

:34:06. > :34:10.made of the last few years to take and move his training base over to

:34:11. > :34:14.America, to give himself the best opportunity for success. That's what

:34:15. > :34:16.people have to learn, that they have to do these things. They have to

:34:17. > :34:30.make a difference to their setup. And they've got to be committed.

:34:31. > :34:34.No stone left unturned in terms of preparation.

:34:35. > :34:37.Not at all and I think that makes the difference quite completely.

:34:38. > :34:40.What Denise to saying is that what Mo Farah has done is to seek

:34:41. > :34:43.out the best he can find to help him reach his potential.

:34:44. > :34:46.He struggled early on in reaching his potential but want he got

:34:47. > :34:49.into the race and the right setup, which I am sure was a difficult

:34:50. > :34:52.decision to leave his coaching and go do something completely

:34:53. > :34:55.different, but that is what he needed to get

:34:56. > :34:58.different, but that is what he needed to get to that potential

:34:59. > :35:03.And I think we hear so much about what Mo says, we hear people

:35:04. > :35:14.Who is working smart? Who is working the smartest?

:35:15. > :35:18.This is about working smart and finding the things that

:35:19. > :35:20.will help you take those games, those marginal, smaller games

:35:21. > :35:23.where you can find them, assessing and diagnosing

:35:24. > :35:26.what sort of areas can you improve your training

:35:27. > :35:31.On top of that what else makes him special is that his race

:35:32. > :35:34.intelligence and his ability to show up on the day

:35:35. > :35:36.and deliver the performance that he is capable of delivering,

:35:37. > :35:52.Emily Diamond does not know whether to laugh or cry.

:35:53. > :35:56.Christine is giving her a supportive arm around.

:35:57. > :36:01.As I said she was so excited about being an Olympian

:36:02. > :36:09.She managed to race and get through to the semifinals

:36:10. > :36:16.and deliver the race of her life because she believes,

:36:17. > :36:20.she believed in what Christine said to her, that she could do it.

:36:21. > :36:27.It's just wonderful, great job, ladies. Andrew Cotter, the medal

:36:28. > :36:33.ceremony is all yours. We mentioned in the 4x100 metre

:36:34. > :36:36.relay, you can go back to 1992 where you got bronze

:36:37. > :36:38.in the 4x400 for Great Britain. Kelly Massey stepped

:36:39. > :37:05.aside for Eilidh oil Tears on the face of Emily Diamond,

:37:06. > :37:07.talking about the illness that she has had. Last year was ruined by

:37:08. > :37:11.entry, a hamstring problem. We have seen the best of this year

:37:12. > :37:20.and getting her reward. He'll has so many rewards. She now

:37:21. > :37:23.has medals in three Olympic Games. -- who has.

:37:24. > :37:27.For Eilidh Doyle, not quite to be in the 400 metre hurdles but did

:37:28. > :37:29.make the final there, and for Onoure, so

:37:30. > :37:36.the selection nod for the individual, but no

:37:37. > :37:43.Bundy-Davies was running the individual here.

:37:44. > :37:48.Not running too well out here for whatever reason

:37:49. > :37:53.but she would have been part of relay squad.

:37:54. > :37:59.But Jamaica take the silver medal, and it was a great race

:38:00. > :38:13.between Jamaica in the United States for the gold, and Jamaica

:38:14. > :38:14.with Stephenie Ann McPherson, McLauchlan, Jackson

:38:15. > :38:33.There Jackson took bronze in the individual and Stephenie Ann

:38:34. > :38:37.McPherson on the right there as we look at those of them,

:38:38. > :38:41.they came in having not run in the heats.

:38:42. > :38:52.And a very successful Olympic Games for Jamaica.

:38:53. > :39:02.In the sprint and in the sprint relay.

:39:03. > :39:07.But there will also be a medal for Christine Day and for

:39:08. > :39:13.Chrisann Gordon, who ran in the heats.

:39:14. > :39:27.But it has been a night of relay gold for the United States.

:39:28. > :39:29.So for Natasha Hastings, Courtney, Phyllis Francis

:39:30. > :39:33.and Allyson Felix, Felix on the left now with her sixth

:39:34. > :40:00.Taylor Ellis-Watson will also receive a medal, as will Francina

:40:01. > :40:03.who was unlucky to be dropped after she ran a sub 50

:40:04. > :40:21.Allyson Felix, part of the 4x100 gold winning squad.

:40:22. > :40:28.Smiles from Christine Ohuruogu. We haven't seen the last of her in a

:40:29. > :40:29.major championships. Will see them perhaps in London next

:40:30. > :40:32.year at the World Championships. Allyson Felix, the

:40:33. > :40:45.fantastic Allyson Felix. Once more, in a rapidly emptying

:40:46. > :40:48.Stadium, as it is towards the end. Only the marathon tomorrow,

:40:49. > :40:50.so the Stadium will close down after this in terms

:40:51. > :41:01.of the Olympic Games. There are not too many

:41:02. > :41:04.in here to see the ceremony but time once again for the Star Spangled

:41:05. > :41:06.Banner. And few spots of rain

:41:07. > :42:12.have started to fall. A bronze medal for Great Britain,

:42:13. > :42:23.but the United States looking good, with 13 golds in the

:42:24. > :42:36.overall medals table. Seven clear of Jamaica. They took

:42:37. > :42:42.the silver here in the women's four by forward the bronze for Great

:42:43. > :42:43.Britain. -- four by 400 with the bronze.

:42:44. > :42:46.Well, the judges and everyone else, we thought they had gone

:42:47. > :42:54.They have reinstated Chelimo, which is good.

:42:55. > :42:57.I think it is probably the right decision.

:42:58. > :43:02.Gebrhiwet will go to the bronze medal.

:43:03. > :43:15.Along with Edris and Ahmed. Ahmed has been reinstated. Edris I

:43:16. > :43:16.definitely saw step off the trap. He has been disqualified. -- stepped

:43:17. > :43:19.off the track. Andrew Butchart can be very proud

:43:20. > :43:21.of his sixth place and We hope that medal ceremony

:43:22. > :43:32.will take place soon. There is a kind of backlog of medal

:43:33. > :43:35.ceremonies on the final night. Sometimes they push them over

:43:36. > :43:48.on to the final day. He said he didn't believe

:43:49. > :44:00.it was right to disqualify someone when he didn't gain

:44:01. > :44:02.an advantage from it. So maybe that was instrumental

:44:03. > :44:05.in the USA decided to appeal that, I am not sure by Edris

:44:06. > :44:14.is still disqualified. It was disappointing for me

:44:15. > :44:36.and an unsportsmanlike finish. He had seen him take

:44:37. > :44:38.his foot on the line. He kept that in his head and then

:44:39. > :44:42.thought, now I only need to win He won the race for fourth and then

:44:43. > :44:49.went straightaway and protested. He knows that infringement

:44:50. > :44:55.he did not get that advantage and worse than that his idol

:44:56. > :44:58.was coming through, Kemboi. The champion that he finished behind

:44:59. > :45:00.on several occasions. I think what should happen is that's

:45:01. > :45:07.why you have a jury of appeal. If he didn't gain any advantage then

:45:08. > :45:15.he shouldn't be disqualified. I think they are confused

:45:16. > :45:17.here about the rules and It would be tough for the jury

:45:18. > :45:23.to say we would won't disqualify them, because any other team

:45:24. > :45:29.would have a legitimate reason, Sometimes you can fall outside

:45:30. > :45:35.of the rules but not impinge on anyone else and not

:45:36. > :45:44.gain an advantage. I have just been over your shoulder

:45:45. > :45:47.shots of the men's 4x400, Farah's family waiting

:45:48. > :46:04.in the stands. In the meantime, Great Britain's

:46:05. > :46:09.Lynsey Sharp was taking part, the world expected and the world

:46:10. > :46:11.got what it expected because Caster Semenya,

:46:12. > :46:14.the dominant athlete in this event all year, she hasn't

:46:15. > :46:16.been beaten this year, It has been a lot of hard

:46:17. > :46:46.work after the Olympics. I went home because I was injured,

:46:47. > :46:49.I dislocated my knee. But I just believed

:46:50. > :46:59.that if I was patient, work on my strength,

:47:00. > :47:01.then obviously 2016, I will be 25 From last year to this year tell me

:47:02. > :47:09.how you have managed Have you had the ideal preparation

:47:10. > :47:16.that didn't have last year? Last year I didn't plan to win,

:47:17. > :47:19.it was just to get in there and prepare

:47:20. > :47:24.for the future championships. I knew that I was not in good shape,

:47:25. > :47:29.so I just wanted to boost my morale So the plan was this year, maybe

:47:30. > :47:37.next year and maybe other years. So I am quite happy with how

:47:38. > :47:40.we are doing, the chemistry You have had some highs

:47:41. > :47:52.in your careers, some lows. Does it make it all the more

:47:53. > :47:55.satisfying when you can I think every athlete's dream

:47:56. > :47:58.is to win a gold medal, I will just have to go back home and

:47:59. > :48:10.see what the future awaits for me. I suppose you can't do much more

:48:11. > :48:16.than set a personal I feel a bit disappointed

:48:17. > :48:25.because I had a lot left at the end, but I don't know whether that means

:48:26. > :48:29.I ran it right or whether I had But I was conscious

:48:30. > :48:33.of going off too fast. I can't keep up with what is going

:48:34. > :48:36.on at the front and I know that. I did come through quite strong

:48:37. > :48:44.at the end, so that was good. We spoke early on about it

:48:45. > :48:55.being a 2-tier event. Someone like Caster Semenya,

:48:56. > :49:00.she is light years ahead it seems. Yes, I mean, I've

:49:01. > :49:14.tried to avoid this. You can see the difference

:49:15. > :49:16.between some of us at the end. We know how each other feel

:49:17. > :49:26.about it, but it is out on the people at the

:49:27. > :49:30.top to sort it out. But all we can do

:49:31. > :49:38.is give it our best. I saw the three of you come together

:49:39. > :49:41.in a hug of unity. Yes, we see each other

:49:42. > :49:43.week in, week out. Going forward, I mean,

:49:44. > :49:50.how hard is it for you to keep going in this event knowing

:49:51. > :49:53.that the event exists as it does I was coming down the home straight,

:49:54. > :49:58.we weren't far away. All we can do is work

:49:59. > :50:20.hard over the winter Do you know what the

:50:21. > :50:25.terrible thing is? When you listen to that interview

:50:26. > :50:28.and you hear Caster Semenya, who is delighted to be

:50:29. > :50:30.winning her gold medal today, it just feels that there is no right

:50:31. > :50:33.answer in this situation because obviously everybody

:50:34. > :50:35.is playing by the rules So you have to accept that

:50:36. > :50:39.and just get on with it. You do and I think that's

:50:40. > :50:41.what she was saying. She has concentrated on being able

:50:42. > :50:44.to produce her best performance in the year and that's

:50:45. > :50:46.what she has done. I think it was unfair to ask those

:50:47. > :50:51.questions when she is so exhausted, She will make statements

:50:52. > :50:54.and it isn't fair to I am not sure there

:50:55. > :50:57.is a fair solution. It certainly wasn't fair

:50:58. > :51:08.to put Caster Semenya what she was put through in 2009

:51:09. > :51:11.and through what she has been She shouldn't be a poster girl

:51:12. > :51:14.for this issue. This issue should have been

:51:15. > :51:16.understood, debated, Semenya I don't believe should

:51:17. > :51:18.have made the decision, we will give you two years

:51:19. > :51:21.to prove it. Then it has been essentially proven

:51:22. > :51:24.out there on the field of play. That's not right because it is using

:51:25. > :51:27.athletes and people's emotions They should have found a better way

:51:28. > :51:33.to do it. I think it should never have come

:51:34. > :51:37.into the public domain. This should have been handled

:51:38. > :51:40.behind closed doors. Our governing body should have found

:51:41. > :51:50.the best thing to do and I echo When people say it isn't fair,

:51:51. > :52:00.it is not fair for Semenya, or for the girls, it allows them

:52:01. > :52:03.to have those sorts of reactions If they didn't know about it

:52:04. > :52:15.they wouldn't have those feelings. And of course the word we haven't

:52:16. > :52:17.mentioned is hyper androgyny and this two year period

:52:18. > :52:21.where there will be a solution I think that is the right decision,

:52:22. > :52:28.because you have to get Those making the decisions have to

:52:29. > :52:32.get all of the information they can. Hopefully what they're doing

:52:33. > :52:34.is gathering that information, getting all of the research,

:52:35. > :52:36.getting a good understanding Because once they do make a decision

:52:37. > :52:42.someone will be effected It won't work for everyone.

:52:43. > :52:46.It won't satisfy everyone. So I think that was the CAS's

:52:47. > :52:51.reasoning for giving her two years But I do agree that the way it has

:52:52. > :52:56.been handled, back in 2009, was horrible and they think

:52:57. > :53:02.all involved, South African But also you can't handle

:53:03. > :53:14.it all behind closed doors because that's

:53:15. > :53:16.one problem, transparency. That was the problem

:53:17. > :53:18.with the South African athletics. I said they were testing her

:53:19. > :53:20.for something else and actually it came out later that

:53:21. > :53:23.what they were doing was testing testosterone as to whether she

:53:24. > :53:27.had hyperandrogenism. I don't think Denise was trying

:53:28. > :53:30.to say behind closed doors, I don't think people understood

:53:31. > :53:36.what they were looking at, so they said that they thought this

:53:37. > :53:39.elevated levels of testosterone, hugely elevated, three times

:53:40. > :53:43.the normal level, we don't understand how far it is over

:53:44. > :53:47.the normal level, but they give It is 3.8 seconds over

:53:48. > :54:05.a 100 metres distance. If it is more than that

:54:06. > :54:14.then it is even bigger. A woman with a level of testosterone

:54:15. > :54:17.below three is not ever going to be able to compete

:54:18. > :54:21.with that without cheating. However hard she trains,

:54:22. > :54:26.they are never going to get to compete with that level

:54:27. > :54:33.of strength, that level of recovery, that those in elevated levels

:54:34. > :54:42.of testosterone bring. But the big issue is

:54:43. > :54:44.it isn't cheating. Caster Semenya has done nothing

:54:45. > :54:47.to have these high levels. They haven't done anything

:54:48. > :54:49.to be that way. So either they take the medication

:54:50. > :54:53.to suppress the levels back to below ten, which may affect how

:54:54. > :54:58.they are able to react and perform within races and within training,

:54:59. > :55:00.or they choose to have an operation, It isn't a situation that they can

:55:01. > :55:09.really come out of simply. You can't just have these

:55:10. > :55:11.high levels and think You have to train

:55:12. > :55:16.very hard to produce Caster Semenya ran the fastest time

:55:17. > :55:25.in the world, When we talk about the other girls

:55:26. > :55:37.seeming like they have a What we are talking

:55:38. > :55:41.about is fairness, so you have to put two sides clearly in,

:55:42. > :55:44.because you can't just sit there and say, well,

:55:45. > :55:49.I have these high levels so I will beat everybody.

:55:50. > :55:52.That's not true. I think everybody has got to accept

:55:53. > :56:00.and respect what she is doing, it also respect

:56:01. > :56:03.what the others are suffering. I want to use the word suffering

:56:04. > :56:06.because it's a frustration for them. And we all know when you are

:56:07. > :56:08.frustrated about something Basically those girls have come

:56:09. > :56:12.out this year and have stepped onto the track and have actually

:56:13. > :56:15.thought, I can run a personal best, I can run as hard as I am

:56:16. > :56:18.capable of running tonight That's what the 100

:56:19. > :56:21.metres are saying. I can run as fast as I can

:56:22. > :56:25.and I still won't beat Usain Bolt. That's why it is not just

:56:26. > :56:35.about Caster Semenya, It can mean that women

:56:36. > :56:42.in such events... There is a reason why testosterone

:56:43. > :56:46.is what is coming up Because it does help

:56:47. > :56:52.and it does give a benefit. It is how much of that and how

:56:53. > :57:04.do we create something that's approaching fair in all

:57:05. > :57:05.of this? We had time at least to give some

:57:06. > :57:12.consideration to that argument, which so often is hurried

:57:13. > :57:14.and snatched with comments So thank you very much.

:57:15. > :57:20.It is a difficult subject. This, however,

:57:21. > :57:23.is much more straightforward. This man is

:57:24. > :57:26.a distance running genius. The British support that have

:57:27. > :57:43.waited patiently to see their man, it's extraordinary.

:57:44. > :57:47.Doesn't get better than this. We talk about when Usain goes,

:57:48. > :57:51.what will sport going to do? What are we going to do

:57:52. > :57:54.when Mo Farah goes? Hopefully he will inspire -

:57:55. > :58:06.Andrew Bouchard was inspired - and many other also be inspired

:58:07. > :58:12.by his legacy. So many have been inspired

:58:13. > :58:14.and want to get the chance to get on the teams,

:58:15. > :58:17.come to the training camps, is there something I can see

:58:18. > :58:23.in the way that Mo handles himself? Well, they came, they tried

:58:24. > :58:31.but could not conquer. Steve Cram, for possibly

:58:32. > :58:33.the last time, STEVE CRAM: Well, yes,

:58:34. > :58:45.he waits patiently for his turn. Gabriwet did his best here

:58:46. > :58:51.and sadly not good enough. If you're going to take on one

:58:52. > :58:59.of the all time greats, Geriwhet is a great junior,

:59:00. > :59:12.doing his country proud. Some discussion in the USA,

:59:13. > :59:27.they have three representatives here, and Lagat has been living

:59:28. > :59:31.in the UK for so long, and Chelimo got his chance

:59:32. > :59:35.to represent the USA last year. Initially disqualified

:59:36. > :59:41.and then reinstated. They chant his name

:59:42. > :00:04.and wait for him to be announced. There's not many here,

:00:05. > :00:09.but those who have stayed are making this a very special moment

:00:10. > :00:10.for Mo Farah. His second Olympic

:00:11. > :00:16.5000m title, to add to his two

:00:17. > :00:21.Olympic 10,000m titles. No-one has come close

:00:22. > :00:31.to the great Mo Farah. A memorable moment for him,

:00:32. > :00:36.for all of us who have had the privilege

:00:37. > :00:44.to revel in his competitiveness, You could have almost

:00:45. > :00:54.got a free ticket Anyone in Rio

:00:55. > :00:59.probably should have got one to witness another piece

:01:00. > :01:19.of Mo Farah history. She wants the Mobot!

:01:20. > :01:25.First, the national anthem. It's been a joy watching him

:01:26. > :02:16.at these Games again. I will take a leave out of his book

:02:17. > :02:31.and give my voice an ice bath. It might have a little bit of beer

:02:32. > :02:40.in it as well! Chelimo the silver,

:02:41. > :02:41.Gebrhiwet the bronze. Like a magician, he pulls another

:02:42. > :02:49.one out of his pocket. They've got four kids.

:02:50. > :03:08.Four gold medals. I think that is up

:03:09. > :03:10.to them, don't you? It gets complicated

:03:11. > :03:13.with the car as well. He will have a lovely

:03:14. > :03:16.time with his family. but spends time away from them

:03:17. > :03:23.to let us enjoy this success. We have, we should never

:03:24. > :03:32.take it for granted. Hours and hours of pounding

:03:33. > :03:39.the tracks, the roads, They they love him,

:03:40. > :03:52.they really do love him. They've witnessed something

:03:53. > :03:55.very, very special. I saw a bus-load leaving our hotel

:03:56. > :03:58.today, who were coming to the track, they had Union Jacks

:03:59. > :04:00.and there was a spring They were so excited.

:04:01. > :04:10.They hoped their man would deliver. Those of us with less distance

:04:11. > :04:14.running knowledge sit on the edge of our seats waiting

:04:15. > :04:18.for the last 100m. You know what, so many cases,

:04:19. > :04:20.he said that to us, I love that.

:04:21. > :04:27.Absolutely love it. Certainly, you know,

:04:28. > :04:33.I will miss him when he decides to put his feet up, because,

:04:34. > :04:36.boy oh boy, he's special When you see him, he

:04:37. > :04:40.has time for people. It's an Olympic Games,

:04:41. > :04:45.why shouldn't he enjoy himself? You caught up with him

:04:46. > :04:48.the other day, Michael? Yes, and we were talking

:04:49. > :04:50.about him almost falling down He put that on himself, it's me,

:04:51. > :04:59.my stride is so long. I said, Mo, in your interview

:05:00. > :05:01.you referred to your son He said yes, that's right.

:05:02. > :05:06.I have to do that. He's like, did I say that?

:05:07. > :05:09.I got to get a medal for the boy. He is a wonderful guy

:05:10. > :05:14.a great personality. You can tell that he feels

:05:15. > :05:18.so fortunate because he knows that so many athletes have come

:05:19. > :05:21.through with great potential But he found the right

:05:22. > :05:30.situation which allowed him to reach his potential

:05:31. > :05:38.and become a world beater. Someone spoiling the party over

:05:39. > :05:41.there, taking him to do press, he wants to keep performing

:05:42. > :05:43.for the crowd. It's below us here,

:05:44. > :05:45.below the commentary box. It's full, full of mainly

:05:46. > :05:48.Great Britain flags and athletics banners, a few other countries

:05:49. > :05:53.have stayed as well. But he won't get many more moments

:05:54. > :05:55.in his life like this. You've got to enjoy it.

:05:56. > :06:01.The work, it's not easy. I don't think anyone enjoys

:06:02. > :06:05.the hard, hard graft. When it's over and when you deliver

:06:06. > :06:08.like he has done so magnificently, you've got to take time

:06:09. > :06:11.to savour those moments. There appears to be a closing

:06:12. > :06:17.ceremony with the dancers OK, well, obviously the highlight

:06:18. > :06:22.today, we don't need Overall the whole meet,

:06:23. > :06:27.full of world records, multiple golds in nine days,

:06:28. > :06:31.Michael, your highlight? Oh, you know what, I must say one

:06:32. > :06:36.thing we haven't talked about, I think the US came out

:06:37. > :06:40.here and absolutely cleaned up. That was I believe 28 medals,

:06:41. > :06:48.they came out here to top that. I mean, I believe 30 or 31.

:06:49. > :06:51.13 gold total but 31 medals total. This is hard.

:06:52. > :07:30.Apart from Mo, fantastic. I think I would say

:07:31. > :07:32.I really enjoyed seeing We said there would be

:07:33. > :07:38.a surprise in the team. Wasn't sure who it would be,

:07:39. > :07:42.but Sophie did it. Had to do it on her last throw,

:07:43. > :07:49.sensational courage, well deserved. I mean, you can't say Mo

:07:50. > :07:56.because we've all talked about him so much all night, but the way

:07:57. > :08:00.that he mesmerises the whole field, the way that he can -

:08:01. > :08:02.we talked about nine lives. He had nine lives staying

:08:03. > :08:05.on his feet and getting back up. So the way he reacted

:08:06. > :08:10.to all of that. I think for me as well,

:08:11. > :08:13.it's those surprises, The likes of Sophie,

:08:14. > :08:18.the women in the relay, the women in both relays,

:08:19. > :08:22.to come through and do that. Colin, quick, before she goes

:08:23. > :08:35.through the whole programme. But? But that 400m world record

:08:36. > :08:39.was something else. It was something else

:08:40. > :08:58.because I wasn't expecting it. But? But that 400m world record

:08:59. > :09:02.was something else. It was something else

:09:03. > :09:04.because I wasn't expecting it. If you talk about things

:09:05. > :09:07.being unexpected, I perhaps Guys, my moment is

:09:08. > :09:15.being here with you. Colin, Paula, Denise,

:09:16. > :09:18.Michael, you've been a joy, illuminating and enlightning us

:09:19. > :09:22.with your knowledge. And Phil Jones for asking the hard

:09:23. > :09:33.questions, the lovely questions, and the questions that often bring

:09:34. > :09:37.tears to an athlete's eye. They all love seeing Phil

:09:38. > :09:40.and we love having him here. Thank you for joining us

:09:41. > :09:43.in the wee small hours. I will do so via four magnificent

:09:44. > :09:55.golds from Mo Farah. Mo Farah for Great Britain,

:09:56. > :10:20.it's gold! The dangerous 1,500m

:10:21. > :10:34.man is in third. The arms have got to pump,

:10:35. > :10:55.the knees come up high, Farah is going to make it,

:10:56. > :11:07.two golds for Great Britain. The place erupts,

:11:08. > :11:19.he's a double Olympic champion. Mo Farah attempting to retain his

:11:20. > :11:37.10,000m Olympic title. He opens those legs of his

:11:38. > :11:45.and he is sprinting away. Mo Farah knows that he just

:11:46. > :12:11.has to hold the curb. Chelimo looks the danger

:12:12. > :12:27.here for the USA. Chelimo is trying but he's

:12:28. > :12:32.not going to get him. Mo Farah is going to get gold for

:12:33. > :12:40.Great Britain again. We've never seen anybody who's been

:12:41. > :13:03.able to finish like that, nobody who's able to close a race

:13:04. > :13:06.like Mo Farah, nobody who is able It doesn't matter who they are,

:13:07. > :13:15.doesn't matter how fast they are. Doesn't matter how quick

:13:16. > :13:17.they've run before. How lucky have we been

:13:18. > :13:25.in the past two evenings. We saw Usain Bolt yesterday evening,

:13:26. > :13:33.now we have seen Mo Farah. We stay with track and field but we

:13:34. > :13:39.have a little bit more sport. We will kick off

:13:40. > :13:48.with some taekwondo. We have the bronze medal clash

:13:49. > :13:51.taking on the Moroccan. COMMENTATOR: The front leg

:13:52. > :15:04.from Bianca, on the charge. Changing the temple and changing the

:15:05. > :15:25.distance. Carter, trying to dislodge Bianca Walkden.

:15:26. > :15:32.Did she fall was she pushed? The little yellow card against Bianca

:15:33. > :15:44.Walkden who tries again. Lunch to the body. Her opponent not

:15:45. > :15:51.interested in keeping a back step. The tempo of this fight is very

:15:52. > :15:59.high. Cracking shot. Shot to the head and will take those three

:16:00. > :16:03.points. Thank you very much. Bianca Walkden takes another one. Little

:16:04. > :16:10.pushed it to the body and she is stepping it up. Her opponent is

:16:11. > :16:16.disorientated by the headshot. It is down to a four point gap. Ten

:16:17. > :16:19.seconds left. It has been an embattled second round for the

:16:20. > :16:23.Moroccan. She is rocking back and forward. Trying to do something. She

:16:24. > :16:27.will have to live to fight another day. Bianca Walkden looking

:16:28. > :16:46.aggressive. Her body language looked better.

:16:47. > :16:49.Of course, Wiam Dislam from Morocco, she knows that she can

:16:50. > :16:52.She's had a few shots at it, the Moroccan.

:16:53. > :16:56.The business end here of the competition in Brazil.

:16:57. > :16:58.Doing the business with that head shot there.

:16:59. > :17:25.The British fighter, four points to the good.

:17:26. > :17:28.Her first Olympic Games and she's first out the traps,

:17:29. > :17:30.straight into the body armour of the Moroccan,

:17:31. > :17:38.Walkden, the fighter from Liverpool in blue.

:17:39. > :17:44.Can she rebut the advances here of Walkden?

:17:45. > :17:58.She believed she made contact with Walkden's face.

:17:59. > :18:09.This is an important moment in the third round.

:18:10. > :18:28.I think she just caught Walkden's nose, caught that, could be enough.

:18:29. > :18:43.Wiam Dislam, does she make any contact here?

:18:44. > :19:07.Could be massively different outcomes here.

:19:08. > :19:14.The centre referee gets them under way again.

:19:15. > :19:18.Wiam Dislam continues without the card,

:19:19. > :19:21.Does she have an ace up her sleeve, though?

:19:22. > :19:27.She's trying to become the queen of the ring here.

:19:28. > :19:29.Queen B in the middle, Bianca Walkden four

:19:30. > :19:43.Bianca Walkden up to 7-0, needs to keep going.

:19:44. > :19:46.Perfect timing from Walkden, she pushes out another

:19:47. > :20:05.Dislam, she knows the score, but can she change it?

:20:06. > :20:17.Walkden is going to be anticipating the blows to the head that

:20:18. > :20:25.are going to be attempted in this remaining 47 seconds.

:20:26. > :20:29.Does Walkden need to protect herself?

:20:30. > :20:36.You can hear Paul Green in the background say,

:20:37. > :20:38."Close it down, stay there, stay with the left."

:20:39. > :20:53.A little point there for Wiam Dislam, by way of the kick.

:20:54. > :20:56.Bianca Walkden - two serious knee injuries.

:20:57. > :21:16.She didn't look like she would qualify for the Olympic Games.

:21:17. > :21:18.She's hung on, she's battled and Bianca Walkden

:21:19. > :21:20.has shown the tenacity, will she get the reward?

:21:21. > :21:23.Bianca Walkden, Olympic Games bronze medallist.

:21:24. > :21:26.She battled for that, her own aspirations for gold,

:21:27. > :21:28.and she comes away with a very credit-worthy bronze medal.

:21:29. > :21:33.A mixture of excitement and, indeed some measure of disappointment.

:21:34. > :21:41.She goes away with an excellent bronze medal.

:21:42. > :21:45.Bianca Walkden a true credit and an emotional embrace,

:21:46. > :21:50.a brilliant bronze medal for Bianca Walkden.

:21:51. > :21:52.Bianca, massive congratulations you're an Olympic medallist.

:21:53. > :21:58.Like, I am happy I've gone out there and got bronze and coming home

:21:59. > :22:07.It must have been difficult to turn things around

:22:08. > :22:10.following the semifinals, but you did that and handled the

:22:11. > :22:16.What I've been through, I shouldn't be here to be honest.

:22:17. > :22:18.For me to qualify was a massive task.

:22:19. > :22:22.For me to come out there, I did lose to one of the best people

:22:23. > :22:25.and hopefully I can reflect from it, go the world in Tokyo

:22:26. > :22:31.Paul, you've been there for the whole journey.

:22:32. > :22:34.What's it been like for Bianca to battle back and to achieve

:22:35. > :22:40.This girl, I mean, she deserves so much credit.

:22:41. > :22:43.She's come back from a double ACL injury.

:22:44. > :22:49.She works harder than anyone in the gym I've ever seen.

:22:50. > :22:52.And she had the hardest draw today in this red category.

:22:53. > :22:54.There's only China who even comes close to her.

:22:55. > :22:57.She fortunately had to beat them in the semifinal.

:22:58. > :22:59.She deserves a gold, but she came back strong

:23:00. > :23:06.She's a fighter and she always has been and always will be.

:23:07. > :23:11.An absolutely fantastic fight and an historic one

:23:12. > :23:15.Hopefully now we can get another medal.

:23:16. > :23:18.I want to say thanks to this guy who got us this far.

:23:19. > :23:20.If it wasn't for him we wouldn't be here.

:23:21. > :23:21.All credit for Paul, honestly.

:23:22. > :23:38.And So bronze for Bianya, the second Britain to win

:23:39. > :23:40.World Taekwondo Gold with the last tick of the final.

:23:41. > :23:51.That was in Russia, but she has to settle for a bronze.

:23:52. > :23:54.A gold for Jay Jones, and a bronze for Bianca.

:23:55. > :23:56.The best Olympic performance nor the GB taekwondo squad.

:23:57. > :23:59.So next, we shall see if Cho could land a bronze

:24:00. > :24:04.He should have been going for gold but suffered a last-gasp defeat.

:24:05. > :24:27.Let's see how he gets on in this one.

:24:28. > :24:36.Mahama Cho, born in the Ivory Coast, moved to London at 8.

:24:37. > :24:39.His dad was a taekwondo champion. That was for Africa.

:24:40. > :24:42.He tries again with the kick to the body as advised by the coach.

:24:43. > :24:43.Promising footballer, Cho, gold here, a bronze,

:24:44. > :24:46.and Siqueira, can he do enough on the atmosphere provided?

:24:47. > :24:54.Mahama Cho needs to stand on his feet.

:24:55. > :24:59.Siqueira clearly putting him under pressure.

:25:00. > :25:07.There's the chop kick on the way through

:25:08. > :25:24.Mahama Cho lands it there, but lands it on the mat as well.

:25:25. > :25:25.3-1 now, Mahama Cho in contention here.

:25:26. > :25:30.Maicon Siqueira takes one to the body there.

:25:31. > :25:33.You have to wonder how much of a blow to confidence that

:25:34. > :25:35.would have been to Siqueira, taking the knock to the head,

:25:36. > :25:49.A good point you made there in terms of getting kicked in the face.

:25:50. > :25:52.Hopefully it doesn't happen in the commentary box

:25:53. > :25:54.but down on the mat, both men going for it.

:25:55. > :26:24.Separating the two, good footwork again from Mahama Cho.

:26:25. > :26:31.Cho does well to get back in the ring there.

:26:32. > :26:41.Mahama Cho goes for a head shot again.

:26:42. > :26:45.Excellent round from the British fighter.

:26:46. > :26:55.The third and potentially final round.

:26:56. > :26:57.There can sometimes be a golden score round where

:26:58. > :27:01.The extra point certainly needed by Maicon Siqueira.

:27:02. > :27:09.A hoop kick attempt to the head from the Brazilian.

:27:10. > :27:13.An aggressive start for Maicon Siqueira.

:27:14. > :27:16.Reverse turning kick attempted by Mahama Cho.

:27:17. > :27:19.Avoids, and the back kick scores, though, will there

:27:20. > :27:23.The referee is going to look at that.

:27:24. > :27:30.The back kick landed, back kicks are a three-point shot.

:27:31. > :27:32.Let's have a little confirmation here.

:27:33. > :27:48.Two points added for the back kick and that changes the complexity

:27:49. > :27:52.The more difficult the technique, the greater the points.

:27:53. > :27:53.I hope someone's nailed the roof down

:27:54. > :28:03.He's gathering up the confidence and the game plan,

:28:04. > :28:05.still plenty of time left for the British fighter.

:28:06. > :28:11.Punches well, good cover from Maicon, gets the point

:28:12. > :28:30.It can change so quickly in such a dynamic sport.

:28:31. > :28:33.It's less than one minute to find that kick.

:28:34. > :28:35.The kyong-go hanging against the British fighter.

:28:36. > :28:45.for a last chip-and-charge at this bronze medal.

:28:46. > :29:00.I think the question needs to be asked, who wants it most?

:29:01. > :29:10.Could that tiredness be pivotal in the last ten seconds here?

:29:11. > :29:16.Maicon Siqueira, Mahama Cho, who will find the shot?

:29:17. > :29:18.Back kick attempt from the British fighter.

:29:19. > :29:20.He walks into a push kick, falls over at the same time.

:29:21. > :29:26.Mahama Cho with the back leg turning kick.

:29:27. > :29:35.I think we're going to have a little intervention.

:29:36. > :29:42.and I think extra point for a back kick.

:29:43. > :29:45.Extra point for the back kick, that's what the Brazilian

:29:46. > :29:54.So indeed we could listen to it there.

:29:55. > :29:57.It was in amongst the melee of kicks, a higher value shot

:29:58. > :30:01.if you spin, either a back kick or a spin kick,

:30:02. > :30:21.Olympic bronze medal hanging on the technology.

:30:22. > :30:24.It's good to see that they can get the right result.

:30:25. > :30:32.He tries to spin forward, he almost scores but in the end,

:30:33. > :30:43.Maicon Siqueira secures a bronze medal for Brazil.

:30:44. > :30:46.Mahama Cho gave it all he could, but Maicon Siqueira,

:30:47. > :30:55.he used to work as a builder and a waiter.

:30:56. > :30:58.He doesn't have to wait for much longer now, he'll be on the podium.

:30:59. > :31:00.And on the front pages and back pages

:31:01. > :31:19.So obviously so soon after, it's very difficult for you

:31:20. > :31:25.You were up against not only a strong fighter

:31:26. > :31:42.And just to be taken away from you in the dying seconds.

:31:43. > :31:54.I want to congratulate him. He put on a good fight.

:31:55. > :31:58.And he's a strong contender and I'm really, really,

:31:59. > :32:01.I have to congratulate him for the job that he's done.

:32:02. > :32:09.To come out and come on top is not something easy to do.

:32:10. > :32:14.But at the same time I would like to take

:32:15. > :32:20.this opportunity to say thank you to my parents,

:32:21. > :32:23.people back in the UK, the team, the staff, Team GB,

:32:24. > :32:26.UK Sport for all the help and the lottery funding people, too,

:32:27. > :32:29.for everything that they have, they have put into me to

:32:30. > :32:35.get to this stage and I'm sorry that I couldn't bring home the medal.

:32:36. > :32:40.But that's what it is. That's what it is.

:32:41. > :32:46.I remember when we spoke earlier in the year, it was touch and go

:32:47. > :32:51.whether you would make it to the Olympics.

:32:52. > :32:54.You fought and performed well. Part of this history making team.

:32:55. > :32:56.I'm sure you will want to fight on. Yeah.

:32:57. > :33:00.You know, like I said, I'm a fighter. I don't quit.

:33:01. > :33:04.So I'm going to take a step back and have a little break and

:33:05. > :33:08.then try to see what the next cycle is going to be.

:33:09. > :33:16.So we shall see. Best of luck. Thank you.

:33:17. > :33:19.Mahama Cho, so disappointed there, talking to Nico.

:33:20. > :33:22.But still for Great Britain's taekwondo squad

:33:23. > :33:35.Let's bring you right up to date with all of tonight's headlines.

:33:36. > :33:38.Boxer Nicola Adams claimed back-to-back Olympic golds

:33:39. > :33:55.She won flyweight gold for the second time.

:33:56. > :33:59.And Liam Heath had a superb performance in the K1 200m.

:34:00. > :34:15.There was triathlon bronze for Holland,

:34:16. > :34:17.edging out her housemate in a sprint finish.

:34:18. > :34:19.But no medal celebration for Tom Daley.

:34:20. > :34:21.He failed to qualify for the individual

:34:22. > :34:31.Eventually won by the Chinese athlete.

:34:32. > :34:36.Wonderful scenes at the Maracana and Brazil beat Germany 5-4

:34:37. > :34:40.on penalties, who else but Neymar scoring the winning penalty

:34:41. > :34:53.GB's women's 4x400 relay won the bronze

:34:54. > :35:07.But the headline maker, once again, Mr Mo Farah,

:35:08. > :35:11.showing that he's in a class of his own, racing to the 5,000m

:35:12. > :35:15.title, the victory giving him a successful double distance gold

:35:16. > :35:27.30 golds on offer in the busiest day of the Games.

:35:28. > :35:31.The United States on top and uncatchable.

:35:32. > :35:33.Great Britain second with 27 gold medals.

:35:34. > :35:42.That is one more than they've won in London already and it's the best

:35:43. > :35:45.performance by a British team at an away Games and more to come -

:35:46. > :35:48.one more at least tomorrow - superheavyweight boxer Joe Joyce.

:35:49. > :36:03.So what a golden Games for Great Britain.

:36:04. > :36:05.It's been a magnificent Olympic Games.

:36:13. > :36:19.We should be very thankful we are living in an era

:36:20. > :36:26.Cherish one man in particular - Mr Mo Farah.

:36:27. > :36:33.From all of us here, good night.

:36:34. > :37:26.The dark forces will destroy everything.

:37:27. > :37:34.To save us all, two enemies must unite.
