Day 15 Highlights Olympics

Hello, a very good evening to you. A lot of live sport to enjoy across

the real Olympic Games this evening. We will go to Gaby very shortly.

These are the night's headlines... Boxer Nicola Adams claimed

back-to-back Olympic gold medals to continue the GB gold rush in Rio.

Liam Heath also climbed the top step of the podium with gold in the K-1

200m. As we saw a short time ago, triathlon bronze for Vicky Holland,

edging out compatriot and housemate Non Stanford in the sprint finish.

Sadly, no medal celebration for Tom Daley, however. He failed to qualify

for the individual ten metre platform final. So, in Baille's

absence, it was the Chinese athlete who claimed the gold medal. -- Daly.

A few moments ago, this happen. Look at that... Neymar of Brazil have

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

Cup final. And South Korea's Inbee Park became

only the second female Olympic golf gold medallist with a dominant five

stroke victory. Great Britain's Charley Hull finished the rightful

Southern. -- tied for seventh. It is the final night of the track and

field. Let's drawing Gaby Lopez. Last night we had a wonderful

evening watching Usain Bolt get the triple trouble. Let's find out if Mo

can do the double double as he continues his incredible journey. A

story of human movement. Twin boys are born

in Mogadishu, Somalia. Eight years later one twin

moves to London. Destroying them in the home

straight, double European champion! He must change - change routine,

change coach, change everything. It becomes the motion picture

of the age, to be repeated Mo Farah is the world

champion again! Five world titles,

to be sensational. What comes next in this story

of human movement? Already among the greats,

can he now pull clear? Good evening and welcome

to the final session of the athletic at this stadium, the marathon

tomorrow morning which means we cannot say the athletics

is completely finished this evening, but the track will close

the business in a few hours time. Will a close with Mo Farah

taking away his time. Will a close with Mo Farah taking

away his fourth Olympic medal? We shall see in just

about an hour's time. Paula, Denise and Michael

alongside me as usual, we are all very excited and the four

x 400 metre, and the women's 800 metre, the men's 1500 metre,

and we have the javelin But Paula, we should really put

in context here just how difficult this is going to be,

and what achievement it is, because we have to go

back to Lasse Viren achieved what Mo Farah

is hoping to do. It is the enormity of what he is

trying to achieve. In fairness, the last

time it involved heats, the fact that Mo Farah

did the double in 2012, he did the 10,000 metres in Beijing,

then he came back from a disappointing year

for him, in 2015, and did To come here and to have stayed

so healthy and strong and unbeatable over four years,

that is a huge achievement, and I think it is going to be really

tough, but I think he is capable He does look tired, but he just

really needs to go into the race and I think he will be able

to control it because where he has got to now is the rest of the field

can not believe that they can beat Mo Farah, so they cannot organise

themselves as a team. The Ethiopians possibly,

they know he has got to be tired... 2011 he won his first world gold,

then his Olympic double, and then another world double,

then another world double. You have a world record

in the 10,000 metres but unable to win the 5000 metres,

because the athlete did not It has been a very difficult

schedule, these games, it has been hard on the athletes,

so it will be interesting to see what sort of toll it

has taken on Mo Farah, but it has also taken a toll

on the rest of the athletes. Today, British sports fans would be

disappointed that Tom Daley, having set an Olympic record last

night, crashed out of the semifinals in the ten metre diving,

and it just kind of puts in perspective for me that you can

be at the top of your game, but you should never take anybody's

skill, talent, and And to echo Paula's point,

it was 1972 and 1976 that we last It is so challenging, so difficult,

and it is about him running his race the way he runs it,

and if they let him control, Let's bring you up to speed with

Mo Farah's Olympic story so far. It is going to be

a glorious, glorious win! The dangerous 1500 metre

man is in third place. The big kick has started, the third

placed runner looks dangerous. The arms have got

to pump, knees have He has got to find something,

got to keep hard. Come on, Mo Farah, I think

is going to get there. Farah is going to make it two gold

medals for Great Britain! Mo Farah having to work hard,

there is a danger here in front, Mo Farah attempting to retain his

10,000 metre Olympic title, Mo Farah moves out and he opens

those legs of his and Let's put in historical

context Mo's achievements, alongside names like Lasse Viren,

who was running in a time I doubt it will be as

quick as 13 minutes. Paula, he has not had his own way

in these races, there with the fall, bumping

in a lot of races, there have been a few

knocks and bumps. What does he have to do

to to stay out of danger? That will be the most difficult

thing for Mo Farah is to stay out of danger, he does

not want to go fast, and he will not be at the front

in the first couple of laps, he will be sitting right at the back

but he will be keeping an eye on the rest of the field

and they will gradually move up through the order as the race goes

on to cover anything. This is in his heat where we saw

he got into a bit of trouble. Mo Farah has a long, loping stride,

he takes up more space on the track. What Mo does is move

close to the front, cuts in slightly and his leg just

catches, nobody's fault, it is just that his stride length

takes up more space. He has to be aware of

that and be careful. When people try and get out

behind him, they have to try and almost step over that back leg

and that is the danger when he goes down, which is what happens

in the 10,000 metres. He was able to cope

with it really well. It was only really after the race

that the emotion and how that could have taken his whole quest

away from him at that point hit him, and that is where we saw him

so emotional at the end of the race. If we see him in his customary

position in the front of that pack with two laps to go,

then it is all OK. I cannot see many people

being able to challenge him. Superiority that he has

and the superiority complex that he has developed over

the rest of the field, not him thinking he is better,

but everyone else do not believe that they can challenge him when it

gets into that last lap, He was recognised as a talent

from a very young age, but it took him a while to get his bearings

in international stage. His first Olympic experience did not

go well, but then things kind of turned for him,

his style definitely changed. I think he matured and

strengthened and as athlete. It is very rare that someone comes

straight in as a youngster and is able to dominate

at a world level. It takes years for that endurance

and strength to build up. I think the key change in Mo

was when he moved from Alan Storey If you look at him in Beijing,

number one he came into the championships carrying far

too much in his legs. He was rocking and rolling

all over the place. If you contrast that

with his style today, up his core and his upper body,

his arm movement, his head, He has that little bit of a nod

today, but not as much. he does not have that confidence,

that imperial way of running, he is still very quick

and he always was very quick, but he is more ragged and he has

just tightened up everything and paid a lot more attention

to the recovery, the little details, and that is what Alberta

is really strong on, Look here at the Anniversary

Games in London. What was so impressive was just how

steady and how strong he was, his shoulders barely moving,

and the contrast from those early races in 2008 to here,

it is massive. That is what enables him,

even when he is tired, to keep the form and keep

the turnover and keep that speed, As a student of sprinting,

Michael, seeing that there, I can remember back in 2012

with Alberto Salazar, he was picking my brain and asking

about sprinting and he brought the entire crew down

to Michael Johnson's performance and said, "Analyse these guys,

we want them to run like sprinters." Because what he could recognise,

technique is in -- important for sprinters

and for distance runners. It is compounded by the distance

they have to run, so He has that incredible pace over

the last lap, and it is about 50 minutes from now,

and here is Mo Farah, he is outside on the warmup

track at the moment, When you get to that sort of age,

it is how do you keep motivating yourself to keep

putting in the miles, keep in meticulous with your

nutrition, the injuries, I think he has been an incredible

ambassador of the sport. We told you when you can expect

to see Mo Farah on the track, but let's have a look at how

the timetable pans out for this last night

at the athletics in the stadium. So it is the women's

high jump competition, they have just been introduced

to the crowd, Morgan Lake, who is one of our best heptathlete

is, going in that high jump final. The men's javelin goes off

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

Charlie Grice who has had a really interesting

passage into this final, He had an appeal to get into the

semifinal and then he had a slightly fortuitous entry into that final.

with kind of a passage through the last 100 metres

He is in the final, so maybe luck will continue and he

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

And then at 2.35 it is the men's four x 400 metre relay.

On BBC Four you can seek two bronze medal matches in the tae kwon do.

Martyn Rooney has joined us in the studio.

I am sorry it is not under happier circumstances.

preparing to the race, but that is not happening tonight.

The alk about how it happened, in the heat of the whole tonight.

yesterday, you are very cross and very unsure as many of us

were what was going on, what was happening.

We now know exactly why you are disqualified,

and we have the footage, we will have a look at it now,

and just see, which is to do with where Matti Hudson Smith

was positioned in his handover -- Matthew.

He was touching the red Line, his foot was over the redline.

It has to be inside the red line and it was over.

That is why Great Britain and India were both disqualified.

I know that you were quite cross, are you feeling better

with the decision, are you satisfied that the correct procedure

I have just watched it to the first time, and it is not conclusive.

It is the track judges decision, there was no Hawkeye on the line,

like in tennis and football, you can see that the track judge has

decided that that is what he has seen, there is no conclusive

I have just seen it now and I am even more angry.

We do have a slightly closer image on the still,

Does that make you feel any more satisfied that the right

That has been very badly treated there.

The line judge's word is final, it would appear, in this.

I think it makes sense to talk about the process

So the judge makes the decision after the race and while the race

That was his judgement, as you said, Martyn his foot was over the line.

That was his judgement, as you said, Martyn.

What happens at that point is they make the decision

to disqualify the four x 400-metre team.

Great Britain has the opportunity to appeal that decision and once

that appeal has taken place it is upon the team,

Great Britain, to show there was conclusive evidence

That is the problem, that you can't show conclusive

I think what we are talking about here and what you are

understandably upset about, Martyn talking about here

and what you are understandably upset about, Martyn,

whether or not that decision should be made subjectively and in terms

of whether anyone else was impeded, which they were not,

and whether or not the great Britain team got any advantage.

If there is any advantage at all, it is millimetres.

Because that is why they have that rule, they don't want you to be

the opposite side of the line, because now you are to close

and the incoming runner doesn't run a full 400m.

There is a bit of the said, she said, a world recognised

official said that he twice, whether he set it to

Matthew Hudson-Smith directly or to the athletes,

Matthew Hudson-Smith has said no one said anything to him.

I spoke to the judges, the particular judge

who said I spoke to him and the Indian Runner standing

there, obviously while Williams was coming around and jostling in,

In the heat of the moment, I know that Matthew would have been

focused on the incoming runner, and so maybe he didn't hear it.

It is a loud stadium, but I don't believe that Matt...

If someone tells you to move, the move.

We are meant to be told where to stand at the 200-metre mark

because the guy coming in at 200m has to line up.

Last night I had to be told where to stand,

and the same people that are meant to tell you to stand in the right

place at telling him to stand behind the line.

In any situation, in any relay you have run in international

competition, while you are at waiting on the line,

you are facing the infield waiting for your guide to run.

Has anybody ever come by and told

If you look at the video, all runners are facing inside.

If anyone told them anything they would be standing

We are dealing with a sport at the upper echelons of its game,

We have cameras, millions of cameras everywhere.

This seems to be something that we need to have

concrete proof of, rather than people saying I saw it,

In cycling if there is no concrete proof or video evidence...

Sorry to interrupt, there is also an argument that they don't have

But I understand the problem because the incoming runner

is fatiguing so you want to take up the baton as early as possible.

You could choose to stand five metres from that line.

The cameras that we are talking about, based on what we showed,

I think it would show that his foot was over the line and

If that was immediately shown last night, the debate would be over.

As an athlete once it is conclusive, you accepted it and you move on.

To not have that conclusive evidence that, that is the tough part for us.

I know we are moaning, and we are blessed to be here

and to be doing something we love, but we have a chance to win

And UK, and that comes through loud and clear.

I just want to say I am delighted with how the guys

We are talking millimetres, aren't we?

And the rule is the rule, and there was that violation

but as we were talking about earlier, the issue

This four by 400-metre relay race today is not the four x

400-metre teams we have seen in the past --

400-metre teams we have seen in the past.

If ever there was an opportunity, this was close.

It was a great opportunity for you guys and it is a shame

The US team is not as strong as they have been in the past.

They have always been incredible teams and is the first time we went

into Olympics believing we can actually win it.

Obviously Jamaica and Trinidad and Botswana are strong, but we feel

The opportunity is there and unfortunately we are not going

The roar in the stadium is for these athletes, Usain Bolt

and his team-mates, four of the fastest man of all time.

I was thinking that, the second fastest ever in the 200m,

and a world champion who has managed one of the fastest times,

Usain Bolt, of course, we know what he has done,

and they are all there in the stadium last night,

That really sort of sums up what Jamaican sprinting has

OK, let's get down to Steve for this one.

You know, there were some people saying I wonder if Usain Bolt

fancies winning a 10th, trotting out the four x four.

Jamaica, as they have been so often in recent times,

A very good performance from Japan, a brilliant run

Number 9 for Usain Bolt, and Jamaica's sixth gold medal at this

An excellent quartet who worked well together, and the Canadian quartet

might just be able to push things once Mr Bolt has gone.

And what we didn't have time last night, because there

was so much going on, with disqualifications and then

the American men were disqualified, was to just pay some sort of tribute

to Japan, who ran the most incredible race.

They really did, and they have been investing in, you know,

athletic development and coach education over the last few years

knowing that they are going to be hosting the games in 2020 and really

It is interesting, people were talking all night last night

on Twitter about Japan not having any 100-metre athletes ranked

in the top 25 in the world, yet they can get this result

and finish in a silver medal position against

the US and Great Britain and these other teams.

That is true and that is amazing, kudos to them.

But they don't have any professional sprinters on the circuit making

a living and representing Japan in the 100m here,

and when you do that you don't have time to just be a team.

Those athletes are a team, and they work as a team

It is very clear what their aim is in four years' time.

More power to them because that is going to be fascinating.

They were neck and neck with Jamaica into that last 100m.

It should be thrilling, when there is no Bolt to take

the baton home on the last leg, you never know.

The very last time, we will see him hopefully next year in London 2017

The women's high jump, and an event you are rather

There are two field events I am fond of, the men's javelin final,

but also the women's high jump competition.

a few rolls of his dice, he has had a few lives to get here.

He had an appeal in his heat and then a nice passage through up

I can't see anyone who will set out hard so it is not going to be

not perhaps the most opulent athlete kicking around,

Australia have at the minute, rediscovering some of his good

form this year. The 23-year-old from Uganda,

he will be one of those that Paula Radcliffe was referring to,

why don't you go out and take it on. Matthew Centrowitz, we spoke to him

yesterday and he says "I am going to give myself the best

chance on the last lap", and all of these people,

including Kiprop, will be trying to create that best opportunity,

Souleman has had all sorts of problems on and off the track.

His coach was arrested in Spain when they were preparing for these

championships, so not sure what to expect from Souleman.

The men's 1500 metre final, and the one thing we can expect

here is tension, nerves, and I am sure a bit of jostling

and pushing, there might be some boxing gloves required

when this all kicks off, I would be very surprised if once

this settles down, there you go, do not have to wait long.

This is what everybody was expecting, and that is in itself

something that the athletes have to deal with, they know

what is going to happen here, and then somebody sometimes has got

You said it, Kiprop in the middle of the field, Makhloufi,

race at the Olympic Games, but it is very slow indeed.

Kiprop looking over at the screen but he is not going to find

It might show him that they are going slow.

This is where the nerves come into play.

This is where experience tells, 66 first lap, that is slow.

He is from thinking that if he is going to do anything

on the last lap he wants to be close from the beginning.

Kiprop and Makhloufi will not be so bothered, they will

move through the field when they are ready.

Why not get it moving, Charlie Grice just moving

I know they are jogging and come the third lap it will kick off,

They do learn on the circuit, and Kwemoi has fallen.

There is a trip by Kiprop, and it is the slow

These athletes are used to running on the diamond league circuit

much faster than this, Kwemoi, the fastest athlete,

second fastest athlete in the world this year,

Into the straight, they are on their way to the bell.

Kiprop has a lot of work to do, Makhloufi has a lot to work to do.

They are still falling over each other.

Kwemoi very lucky because of that pace.

The two Olympic champions clash and now we have a race,

and almost you would say this is anybody's race.

Charlie Grice is still in fifth place.

He got muscled out by Makhloufi but now he is going down

Kwemoi trying to come from further back after having fallen.

It is Centrowitz of the USA in front.

Makhloufi moving up onto his shoulder.

It is the USA, Centrowitz, and Centrowitz is one of the best

chasers home in the last 100 metres, can he do it, Makhloufi coming

higher, Centrowitz still has it, Kiprop is not going to win this,

it is Makhloufi and Centrowitz, that Centrowitz of the USA, Willis

is coming through for the bronze, it is going to be that Centrowitz!

The USA get the gold -- Matthew Centrowitz.

Iguider second, Nick Willis, another bronze

medal at the Olympic Games.

That was a race won by a smart piece of running before the third lap,

he said "If you are going to go the slow, I will go to the front.

I said at the beginning of the race that if they run in the right

position, if those two guys are anywhere near the front,

they are the best in the last 100 metres.

Some names were coming from too far back.

Willis probably was there, but when I saw Centrowitz

at the front, I was thinking "Good luck getting past him."

Matthew Centrowitz of the USA, fabulous performance.

Everything he did was right, the others, including the Olympic

champion, Kiprop and Makhloufi did not have a good race.

I said during commentary that it was a 700 metre race,

supposedly was a 1500 metre race but it almost came down

On the outside, Nick Willis, on the inside, and there is the trip

pushing and shoving and fighting to position and there is not

You said before the race, keep an eye Nick Willis.

But look at him there, he is alongside Charlie Grice,

and here he comes on the outside, the long striding Kiprop,

and I am sure the whole way this race went was against his interest.

He is not sure good in a short race, Centrowitz holds off,

the first move he makes there, he has got himself in a good

position, he holds off Kiprop, the two Olympic champions together

now, Makhloufi coming white on the outside in the green vest,

coming to challenge Centrowitz, but Centrowitz in the home

straight is kicking again, and look at Willis, looking through,

He is into second place, third place, chasing Makhloufi,

but a glorious performance, wonderful to be able to say

that the Olympic champion in the 1500 metres is an American,

Again, look at what Nick Willis has got to do.

He has to find space and fine pace and does

Well done, Matt Centrowitz, what a pleasure to watch

Makhloufi in second place, Willis in third.

The gold medal is on its way to the United States,

I have not been able to say that for a long time.

It was a bronze for New Zealand in the pole vault last night,

a youngster just beginning her career, and a man of

the other end of his career, a brilliant run.

Centrowitz has been able to overcome all sorts of injuries this year,

and that was a win for a smart piece of running.

A great win, a great gold medal for the USA.

Times were irrelevant except that I can tell you that he ran

Makhloufi with another silver medal, Nick Willis taking the blondes

and Charlie Grice finished in 12th place -- bronze.

Charlie Grice just getting burned up a little on the last lap.

This is Julius Yego, who proved last year

that there is more to Kenyan athletics than just running.

The reigning world champion not quite on form this year but there is

a chance. He has fallen on that,

but that is high and long, that is a big throw from Julius

Yego. That is the biggest

of the competition, He took three three throws

to qualify two days ago, the man who learnt to throw

watching videos on YouTube, Thomas Rohler looking to respond

to that big throw from Julius Yego. Rohler quick on the approach,

just saves it in time, That is a long way down the field,

maybe not quite as far as the Kenyan, hurt his back

in the European Championships, Thomas Rohler, has

not competed since. Showed no sign of that injury there,

looking in really good shape. Two fouls, a 1.93, she cleared one

centimetre higher to make this final, can she stay

in a clutch jump, needed Showed real character that

in the Olympic final. There are the women out on the track

ready for the 800 metre final which is the next

events taking place, Lynsey Sharp of Great Britain out

there, and Caster Semenya just behind her, she has not lost a race

this year, she is the outstanding favourite, the world champion

of 2009, silver medals in 2011 at the World Championships

and in London as well. Paula Radcliffe is in the commentary

box ready for this. If I can ask your quick question,

Paula, it is almost impossible to have a conversation

about Caster Semenya without talking The rules change that defined female

competition from a straight out physical test and chromosome

test to testosterone levels. It sets the level at ten nanograms

per litre for testosterone. 99% of women will be below three. It was a

big margin. It was a big margin and they said

athletes above that could have the option of having

an operation or taking medication Then there was the case last year,

where it was decided that was unfair and they gave that IAAF two years

to put together the evidence to show how much of an advantage

testosterone, or higher levels What's wrong with this

is we are discussing this She is not the only athlete

with that condition. We should be celebrating

the achievements she has done. She is the Olympic silver-medallist

coming into this race. She may yet be up rated

to Olympic Gold in London. There it is, the first

of the finalists. Shouldn't just want to make

the final, she believes she can. A strong challenge will come from

Melissa Bishop. This is the world indoor

and when Semenya didn't compete. The only woman to get close

the south African this season. Another threat will surely come

from Margaret Wambui. She could certainly go

below her record. But nobody, perhaps Usain Bolt,

can come to the start line with more But for this young woman

a different type of attention. All she can do is run

and try to win. Joanna Jozwik on her first

round heat at her semi-final. She will run near the back

and try to come through. Maybe a bit too much of this company

to do that. Kate Grace, the only

American in this final. Only just scraped through the first

round but then a personal As I said, Caster Semenya comes

to this final under the school are, As I said, Caster Semenya comes

to this final under the glare, under intense spotlight for reasons

far beyond her control. People getting excited

about how fast she could run. I don't think she will get close

to the world record. We will see how quickly

it is taken out. Caster Semenya I am sure

will control this race. Let's see what kind

of pace Lynsey Sharp sets. A bit of a cheque from Melissa

Bishop. Right away now we are seeing

Caster Semenya go to the front. She is controlling the race

and she will do so from here. The other girls in the race can

compete with Semenya. 400 metres to go

between Caster Semenya. Francine Niyonsaba trying to take

the lead from her. Wambui Bell trying to get

the long stride going. Niyonsaba trying to hold off

the invincible Caster Semenya. Semenya steps on the accelerator,

moves up and away from the rest. Melissa Bishop trying to hold off,

but Wambui will get there. Semenya is the champion,

Niyonsaba, then Wambui. Lynsey Sharp coming

through 1.55 off the first lap. That's a personal best

and a national record. A new South African record

for Caster Semenya. More importantly it is

the Olympic title. Niyonsaba gave it her best

but nobody could hold No, Niyonsaba definitely

gave it her best shot. She really took the race

to Caster Semenya, but she just had enough left to win

a title, and convincingly. I mean, the fastest time

in the world this year without even Lynsey Sharp finished in sixth

position, so came through strongly You will see as they come

in with one lap to go, But Niyonsaba made her move

and made her move hard and she really laid down

the gauntlet and went and made it an honest and strong race

for her from 400 metres out. Here it was Wambui who was a little

bit late in responding. Melissa Bishop had herself

in a perfect position. She was slightly boxed at she had

Caster Semenya in front of her, and she knew she would move wide

and go fast and leave space for her to come

through in the closing stages. She was in a position to be able

to respond and maybe even come through and follow Caster Semenya

for the silver medal, but she just ran as fast

as she could at at this point she had herself

in the bronze medal position. Caster Semenya just moving away

fast and strong. You said you didn't think

we would see a world record tonight I think she could eat that world

record, she has it in her. That's exactly two seconds slower

than the world record, but Semenya finishing and everyone

else working so hard She perhaps didn't want

to go faster tonight. Melissa Bishop has

run a personal best. She was already 3rd

in the UK best times list. Great runs from so many

runners behind her. We knew it was going to be a gold

medal for Caster Semenya, I think it is important to underline

that she has gone out there and has We talk about the controversy

medal there, but she won't have the gold medal

they are all smiles. Joy on their faces last night

when they crossed the Everybody back home was delighted

for this young quartet. They are walking away with a bronze

medal and that's because of I think if you think back

to the anniversary games, this is a team that could really

contend for a medal without having to depend on somebody dropping

a baton and they did that. I think it is really a great time

in terms of potential for young A couple of years ago

it was starting to come with the likes of Jodie Williams

and she has had some injury issues, but I think these girls do

believe in themselves. Obviously the challenge is to get

them to want to excel as individual athletes because each of them do

have real potential in that space and they will be so celebrated

as a team and as a relay. The danger is that they start

to identify themselves OK, let's hand over to Andrew,

who is talking us That's a first medal in this event

for Great Britain since 1984. It was a bronze then, and a bronze

now. Tony Williams, Elaine Thompson,

Veronica Campbell taking a medal. She is in her fifth Olympic Games.

She won a silver in Sydney. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, she was in

Sydney in 2000. That shows how wrong Veronica Campbell Brown has been

around. -- how long. A very good lineup, in particular

with Elaine Thompson and Fraser-Pryce, but they

were a distant second were able to hold on.

finish, but the Americans A little paperweight

for one and all. Women like Elaine Thompson and

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce are far more used to collecting gold.

What an Olympic Games it has been for Elaine Thompson.

She wandered all over the place in the 200 metres, and her better

days are behind her, but still part of a very strong quartet.

they are just getting their bronze medals behind the United States

they look like a really at their feet, and they can move

on from this Olympics Absolutely. You have to remember

that they are all first-time Olympians.

We talk about the advantage having an Olympic experience gives you,

these girls, it bodes well for the future,

what they have got to do in the next couple of years is really stay

healthy, because I think the building blocks they have put

down over the last couple of years have been really, really solid,

and we have seen from Henry, running supremely well

in the heats and the semifinals, just outside her personal best.

For someone like Asha Smith who is on an upward trajectory,

identified early on as having major talent and had some success,

what the problem is if that success stalls.

She has that great potential, it certainly bodes well

for her future in the next few years.

Mo Farah coming out there, you see him there,

coming on to the track in the men's 5000 metre final.

It is a stage he's used to, a stage he's comfortable on,

but the only 5000 metres he ran this year was the Anniversary Games,

how much confidence will that give him that he can look at anybody

around him who thinks they can challenge and and know that he has

only done it once this year and done it quicker than them.

I think this race in London was important, he ran it

pretty much on his own, he ran hard and that is one thing

that Mo Farah has been criticised for ran hard and that is one thing

that Mo Farah has been criticised for, if he has been

criticizd for anything, he has not gone other fast times,

but he looked really comfortable, and there is a lot more to come,

and it gave him a confidence boost because he knew that not only

could he finished fast but he could control

the race and the guys will let him control the race,

but if he can just sit there and still be able to kick

as hard or harder than the others can on that last laugh.

In London we did not necessarily expect, we hoped.

We came here and we started to expect of it.

I am just so nervous now because this feels like we really

are on the precipice of incredible greatness and a landmark

I think he has adapted to that and I think he felt greater pressure

last year in Beijing, we saw him with more pressure on him.

This year he is happier and I think he is enjoying it and appreciating

It has not been done to 40 years, can Mo Farah once more

write himself into the history books tonight?

It is not a case of writing himself into the history books,

it is more about turning in yet another page and having

Interested just to watch him out there, more on that in the second.

He has got some familiar faces against him.

Some names you will remember, Gebremeskel, going back to 2012.

David Torrance running for Peru, the former American.

What a night of the United States have had here. Edris, the young

Ethiopian. Gebrhiwet, the famous

Ethiopian talent. I am not sure I have seen

Mo Farah this animated He is encouraging the crowd, he

looks more aggressive in his nature. Normally he is more smiling,

he has a real face He has got better and better,

and he is strutting his A boxing match here, Mo Farah,

what a privilege to be here tonight to watch this brilliant

British athlete. Paul Chelimo, former Kenyan now

running for the USA. On the inside, the silver medallist

who chased Mo home. He wasn't that far away, you know.

He was not that far away, and he actually ran a faster last

Edris will be tough if it is very slow.

Mo will have to be thinking, he has to concentrate all the time,

stay on his feet, stay close to what is going on.

Mo Farah going for the double-double.

Mo Farah trying to do something that so many greats could not do.

Lasse Viren did it. Ali Gabrielle Selassie couldn't do it.

You could go through all the great names of the past, and Mo Farah has

an opportunity here to hopefully take this fourth gold medal,

Early stages, we are not expecting, we are expecting it to be

not that quick, but the Ethiopians have gone to the front already,

I think Mo was expecting it to be fairly slow, but even if it is

a little bit quicker he will not be too disappointed,

he might even be quite pleased with that.

I would be quite pleased, because to be honest with you I am

more nervous about Mo running that I have been in any of his races.

He tripped in the 5000, he looked a bit vulnerable

after the 10,000 metre race, he was a bit disturbed

because of that fall, I think it is a better race

for everyone, including Mo Farah, the first 62 to the first lap,

it is proper distance running, we are not going to get bunching

like we did in the heats and in the 1500 metres we have just

seen, and it is great to see Andy Butchart.

He has been running extremely well recently, he has a good fast finish

and Mo Farah is realising that the pace is a little bit

for real, he is taking his customer position away from the back

of the field, moving on through and just relaxing.

Looking good, looking strong and doing it sensibly.

Gebrhiwet and Gebremeskel, both of whom have run the 5000

metres quicker than Mo Farah, their best ever,

in the field who have done that, but times in the 5000 are not

the determinants of who get the medal.

If they were, they would just hand them out beforehand. Times or

irrelevant. The one who has not gone,

he has moved his way through, As soon as Edris moved up,

Mo Farah followed him. That is interesting, he has noticed

the pace. It is a pace that these athletes

are used to running out, but they are not used

in the Games to have I think Mo Farah

prefers it like this. That would have to be the quickest

ever first kilometre in an Olympic 5000, used to hold the Olympic

record for the 5000 metres many years ago, and it is not often

we see this early on. Additionally given the fact that

Gebremeskel, saw medallist last time, Gebrhiwet, perhaps not

running as well as he used to, but so formidable,

is this a genuine attempt to take on Mo Farah or content to get rid

of as many people as possible. These guys have watched Mo,

they have run against Mo, they have five World Championship

gold medals, three Olympic gold medals are ready,

they have decided, and I think this is clever and sensible

on their behalf, they are saying "We cannot beat him in a slow race,

so let's make it a bit faster, This makes it true distance running,

it makes it a sensible way to do it and the Ethiopian team have stuck

together and work this one out and now they are making it a true

running race and I think it is better, I think this

is better than Mo Farah. Somebody watching up there who would

have always adopted these tactics. Paula, just a word on when you go

to the front like this, Working together like

this is so much easier than having to leave it out

and grind it out on your own. Immediately they went to the front,

people started to wake up and everybody who is going to be

a contender in the race at this pace has got themselves up

there with that lead group. So we have Gebrhiwet,

Gebremeskel, they have both Edris than Mo Farah,

just sitting offered a little bit. The Ugandan, who ran

in the earlier race. Andrew Butchart would never have set

off at this sort of pace. He has run personal best source

is a long and he must be thinking, But one of the advantages

of Andrew Butchart, he looks quite hot there in the middle of the pack,

running strongly still, but when you go to the front and CDs

to Ethiopian athletes, they have seen the 10,000 metres,

they think maybe Mo has a few weaknesses, but the advantage

they have got is that before the race they have talked about it,

clearly, because they have shared it religiously, and they knew

before they came here that they were going to run

a fast race. Everyone else, we included,

thought it would be a steady rate. Mo Farah now, in the middle

of the pack, has been tested in endurance, they are talking

about who is going to go next and whether they are going to go,

that is seven laps to go in the men's 5000 metres and so far

the Ethiopian plan to stretch Mo Farah, stretching out,

see if he has any weaknesses, because he is faster

than the fastest, they are going to find out if he is stronger

than the strongest. Interesting, as we talk

about Andrew Butchart, he moved up, we were thinking that if this

was slow he could be dangerous He has moved into fifth place

off a pretty good pace. Butchart, not frightened,

not scared, giving people respect obviously that he is looking

as though he belongs in this final, and so he should

after a brilliant season. Britain with two men

in the top seven here. That was the slowest

lap, the previous one, as they come around this time,

I expect this one This one looks slower

than the last one. Six laps to go at they are running

at around 13 minute pace, The two athletes who have done it

properly, they have shared it, they have done it after a lap,

my turn, your turn, I just wonder now what is their tactics,

as they get into the late stages. You don't want to keep leading

like this, and Gebremeskel, the leader, he was a

silver-medallist in London, behind Mo Farah, he has got a strong

finishing run, and I am wondering, is he going to leave himself

at the front or is he going to slow himself into second place,

they are controlling the race, dictating the race, but let's face

it, we have seen Ethiopians You can't run from running 13

minute pace and then 20. Mo Farah has gone, OK,

that was your opening, I write here, right where

I want to be. You slow down, I moved to the front,

you speed up, I am coming with you. Five laps to go in

the men's 5000 metres. The gold and silver-medallists

are in the top two positions. Mo Farah is letting them know

he is there and he is stronger He moves to the front

and then relaxes at little. He is now trying

to control this race. We have seen him do this before

and he is doing it at The confidence he showed,

winning the 10,000 metres, when he came out today

he was really excited, He is already one of

the all-time greats. He is getting into the list

of the best we've ever seen. He has ran thousands

of miles in training. Four laps to go in

this Olympic final. Mile which could take

to further Olympic glory. A mile which could take

into his fourth Olympic gold medal. Andrew Butchart, what

a race he is having. He is sitting in their near

Mo Farah as they approach. 3.5 laps to go and Mo Farah has

decided he wants to get hold The one we thought was the big

danger is right there. The Americans, you

mentioned Bernard Lagat. Settling down and Andrew Butchart

is running a really good race, Two British athletes side-by-side

in the men's 5000 metres. Andrew Butchart is going to be

waiting, but don't get too excited. We know he is strong over last

couple of laps and they are now Mo Farah is looking around,

trying to be in control. I think he wants to be in this

position with two laps to go. Danger everywhere he looks,

but he knows all of these people have tried to get him in the past

and none of them have managed None of these people are quicker

than Mo Farah when he is at his best Butchart sitting behind

the lead group. Mo Farah in the controlling

position. You can just see a little

exhilaration from Mo Farah. Will it be another one,

an historic fourth? He has put himself into

a real chance now. Mo Farah checking

behind to the side. Looks at the big screen,

sees them all there. Just a little push and shove

and Gebrhiwet is trying He is accellerating, sprinting,

he is now in the driving seat. Has he got the finish that we have

seen him produce over the years? Mo Farah knows that he

just has to hold on. They will attack again,

but Mo Farah has more to give! Mo Farah checks that there is no

danger on the inside! Chelimo is trying but he

won't get him! Mo Farah is going to get gold

for Great Britain again! Four Olympic titles,

as Butchart runs a great race. We have never seen anybody who has

been able to finish like that. Nobody is able to close

a race like Mo Farah! Nobody is able to

take all comers on. It doesn't matter who they are

or how fast they are, it doesn't matter how

quick they front before. It isn't just his speed,

it is his tenacity, his desire The confidence that he has

and you have to say I talked before about him

being like a puppet master. Nobody has yet worked out

how to cut the strings. What a fantastic

performance by Mo Farah. What a privilege to be here and see

this man collect his fourth Olympic gold medal

and he did that one in style. He did it his way, he did it

the only way he knows how. There is his family

celebrating in the background. He will try to climb

onto the stadium. He is now one of the greatest

distance runners the If you think about it,

he did it, he ran the 10,000, he is running the 5000,

he has people around him, they thought he might be tired

but he's going across to see if he can get to his family

and his friends and supporters. Collect and other flag, go on,

he is taking selfies. At the bell there was a bit

of a push and shove. That lap, a bit of an exhilaration,

a bit of an elbow, He is on the last

lap, on his journey. Three in the bag,

another on its way. They are coming out and making

an effort, but he did it Every time they attacked

he attacked back. I remember Alberto Salazar said

he is if this competitor. This time he is running away,

moving away, opening the gap. He has Chelimo chasing him

but he isn't interested in that. Into the finishing straight

and running 52.8 in the last lap, the fastest lap have seen

from him this year. Now you have to think about this man

and what he has done. 200 metres to go, to add his

fourth gold medal. He is the greatest athlete we have

ever had and I think he is the greatest sportsman

Britain has ever had. You know, at the end of the year

there will be on is given out and let's be honest, Mo Farah,

for services to athletics, He should be the first to be

knighted for services to athletics. What an amazing performance

by an amazing man. The determination, the grit,

the way he works, what a testimony I think one of the greatest distance

runners the world has ever seen. For Mo Farah, the pain etched

on his face, mixed with delight A lot of pressure on Mo Farah

in the same way that there was a lot of pressure

on Usain Bolt to deliver. People hang the gold

medals around his neck, of course, that's easy

to do, very easy to do. It is another thing to run those

thousands of miles sometimes on his own, sometimes with friends,

time away from his family and he can Usually it isn't so difficult to get

to his family but he did well. All athletes go through that

and all athletes train Well, I am asking you,

but I haven't met too many of them. You and I watch him sometimes,

he needs to do a ten mile run, and he is able to go

round and round and round and round. It wasn't just a ten mile run,

it was 20 that he did in the same The other thing is that in doing

that most athletes would see an injury risk in that,

and he is able to stay injury-free. I think the biggest factor

is just his will will not be beaten. Nobody in his mind can beat him,

and he won't let anybody beat him and he holds and holds

that position. He controls the field to such an

extent. I don't think we will ever see

somebody else control On the plus side,

Andy Butchart run a PB. Sadly Mo Farah would be around

forever, but the future of the men's 5000 metres has

taken a step forward. Well, those feet deserve a nice

ice bath. At the moment, Beitia

is in the number one spot. Lowe, the only athlete

to stop Ruth Beitia Ruth Beitia is the Olympic champion

with a jump of 1.97. Just looking down the list

of previous championships, the last eight Olympics have been

won with two metres or more. Heights that matter

in the record books. Ruth Beitia was fourth

four years ago. At the age of 37, Ruth Beitia wins

the women's high jump. Well, he is enjoying these

celebrations, and why not? We pretty much know that

at the Olympic Games anyway the track might not be for Mo Farah,

but what a performance. Yego, the event leader,

Kenyon, leader in the field event It is a big throw, just over 18

metres. Doesn't look good for the rest

of his competition. Throwing a first round of 88.24,

still a metre in the lead. I do know if he will

come back from that. He may not be able to take any

further part. An anxious look on his face.

But he is really struggling with two throws remaining.

Yego may not be able to take any further part.

He looks as though he is going to have to sit and watch the rest

Across to Thomas Rohler, in second place at the moment.

He was injured about five weeks ago, and hasn't competed since.

We wondered what his shape would be coming to these championships

and in the fifth round, with an injured Yego,

He was fast on the approach and he knew it.

Only Burundi's second medal at Olympic Games.

But Caster Semenya has been so dominant.

Wayde van Niekerk gave South Africa and astonishing win in the men's

100m. Sixth-place from Lynsey Sharp, a

personal best. She can certainly go

quicker, but tonight she is We have some news from

the 5000 metres. But it does affect Andrew Bouchard.

He moves up to fourth place. We have had to Mac qualifications. --

disqualifications. -- two disqualifications.

It was a rough and tumble final lap and the second and third place

The Ethiopian and the American have both been disqualified.

It does not affect Mo Farah, thank goodness.

Apart from anything else, we will need to ask Mo about that.

We have a lot of ground to cover here.

After the ten K my legs were a little tired

I was resting in my room and people were bringing me my food

It is every athlete's dream. It hasn't sunk in yet. Is this the most

satisfying one yet? It was not a fluke in London

because I did it again here. I just want to go home

now and see my children and I want to hang my medals

around their neck. Hussein and Rhianna have got medals,

Aisha has got a medal. The Ethiopians tried

to make it a true race I was a little surprised

in the first lap because I thought it would be a slow race,

I got it wrong. I did not know they

would play together. I have a faster pace than them

in the final lap so they wanted I had to be patient and work my way

through and when I hit the front I was not going

to let anyone pass me. Did you know what was happening

around you and behind you? Tactically you get pushed and it

happens, it happens. But I just had to stay

in my own game and control the race. You have incredible tenacity,

we mentioned it in commentary. You love to win, but

you hate to lose more. Since I was a child,

I hated to lose. Even in peak, I hated losing. --

even in physical education. You are the greatest athlete

of all time for Britain. Remember back to 2008 and Olympic

experience back then. Even in your wildest dreams,

that you could do this? To be honest, I can't quite believe

it. I wished that I could have just

one medal, that was how I was running cross-country, 25th as

a junior, won the European Juniors. I won the European juniors,

it has been a long journey but if you dream up something

and you have the ambition and you are willing to work hard,

you can achieve your dreams. It is something that I have been

working hard on for years and years. Sometimes there is disappointed that

you need to take it Each race I try to learn some in,

be it good or bad. I don't see my children, and for me

I was going to miss out on anything. I want to do it for them

and that is what drives me. All of that time that

I will never catch up on, the time I miss with my children,

but at the same time if I can I'd like to tell everybody

back home, thank I've had some great messages on

Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. The big news was the

disqualifications. We were trying to work out

the rule infringement. There has been a lot of pushing

and shoving on this final lap and one or two have

definitely stepped. Edris stepped off during the race on

the top bend with about three Macs to go. Ahmed has been disqualified,

Edris has been disqualified. There was a bit of push and shove

there but they have been disqualified, we are told,

for stepping on the inside. Whether this happens on the top

bend or not I certainly Let's just see if anybody

takes a step. Well, anyway, I can tell

you that that is what we So what it means is that is

Andrew Butchert is in fourth place. Bernhard Langer gets the bronze.

Gebrhiwet will get the silver. One or two don't even know that yet.

We will try and tidy that up as much as we can after the next race.

An extraordinary effort there from Mo Farah and the drama

of the disqualifications, not to mention the incredible

Farah is untouchable, but Andrew Bouchard is up to fourth place.

The women's relay race is not too far away.

So the British quartet involved here is getting ready.

Christine Ohuruogu, Eilidh Doyle, Diamond...

The final stages of the javelin final.

It has been a brilliant men's javelin final.

The Olympic champion has the final throw to stop his title being ripped

away from him and being given to Rohler of Germany.

A tall order for the man from Trinidad.

And for the first time since 1936 in Berlin, a German

has won the men's javelin Olympic gold.

The next final, the women's 4x400 relay.

Eilidh Doyle has been brought in after her effort in the hurdles.

She says she likes the first leg. She was eighth in the hurdles final.

Russia is not here but certainly the United States and Jamaica

Australia in lane two, Great Britain in three.

Ukraine just outside them and then be two favourites,

I think they are just hoping that Mills can hold on.

Morgan Mitchell and Anneliese Ribbit, the strongest

Hoping they can be in any sort of position.

It will be a difficult race for Italy in race one.

Great Britain has a chance here for a medal.

But Jamaica and the US will battle it out for the gold.

Still perfect conditions again for the final of the women's

Doyle starts for the British, running quite strongly.

Courtney was sixth in the US trials but ran well in the heats.

Emily is looking strong and looking good.

As she comes around with a 100 to go this is so important.

Canada do not have much tax, they have a 400 metre hurdler

USA lead, Jamaica second, Great Britain in third.

Ohuruogu running now for bronze for Great Britain.

Far away in another land, the battle between the United States

and Jamaica with Allyson Felix and the anchor leg

Surely Jamaica have a chance to lead but look at the Gap and it is a gap

back to Christine Ohuruogu and she has been carrying the hopes.

She finishes so strongly that she has the Ukraine and Canada

and the Ukrainian with Zemlyak and Zemlyak did well in the heats.

The United States coming home and Allyson Felix, the wonderful

brilliant Allyson Felix going for gold and going to win old.

Jamaica has a silver and behind them Ohuruogu was holding on.

Holding on, holding on to take the bronze.

They achieved it someone does make it in some style. She has all of

that experience. The United States and Jamaica

were always going to be a long way clear and we expected

the United States to win. If Jamaica weren't in the leading

into the anchor leg, Allyson Felix was always

going to win. That was a very good run

from the British quartet. Well, what are run from Christine

at the end and what a performance Anyka hung on, gave

the baton the Emily Diamond. She let them come up

on the shoulder. The split times, a great solid start

on the first leg from Eilidh. At this point already the US

and Jamaica are away. Great Britain are in a tussle

with Poland and Canada and then this is where we got

a little bit worried. Canada and Poland and Australia

go past Anyika. But this was a great

run from Emily Diamond. A little nudge, using her elbows

and then around the top bend. Came into the home straight and then

Ohuruogu would have thought, thank They will chase me,

but good luck, everybody. Ohuruogu has been a great servant

to British Athletics as well. A former champion and of course

at the twilight of her career, we heard her interview the other

day, she was hinting that perhaps Ohuruogu, strong, determined,

fighting for her team, winning the battle

in home and claiming This is the last I will see her in

Olympic Games and perhaps even a major championship. She is nearer

the end than the start but not as a wonderful anchor leg to take bronze,

a long way behind the USA and Jamaica. Medal is certainly be

celebrated. Sadly disappointed that the menswear

disqualified. taken their chance and take

their medal with the bronze behind the United States and what a run

that was from the United States. A bronze medal for Great Britain

and Northern Ireland. Ohuruogu now matches Steve Buckley,

two British athletes to win successive medals

at three different Olympics. That athletes from athletics,

not all Olympians. A fantastic achievement

for those women. That was a really competitive

race for the bronze. We knew the US was always

going to get a bit of a threat from Jamaica, but they were always

able to hold that. The real risk was for bronze,

with Ukraine running Maybe a bit of a threat

from Canada or Poland, A really nice first leg

from Eilidh Doyle, setting it up. This was the breakthrough,

with Emily Diamond getting them back in the lead and giving Ohuruogu

the ability to hold. She isn't really a chaser,

but she is very strong at the end Kudos to the quotas

for setting this up As you can see, Christine

coming under threat. They anticipated this and set this

up perfectly, with Christine able to use the strength that she has

and that we have seen Three different teams

were coming up behind her. Christine is so strong

and she was able to hold them off. There was a sniff of a medal

and they may not be the quickest girls, but they have every

confidence in each other. Eilidh is always strong and gives

the girls exactly what they need. She had a sickness at the beginning

of this championships Congratulations to Great Britain

for the girls in the 4x4. There is a medal ceremony about take

place for the men's 1500 metres They haven't won the 1500

since 1908. He has had some problems over

the last 12 months with injuries. Trained our lot with

Mo over the years. The American contingent behind us

went absolutely crazy. The last 100 is always

the best bit of the race. It is always a question

of where he is when he begins Nick Willis, what a bronze medal

for the New Zealander. He would have enjoyed

that tactical race. After having won medals

at the World Championships, Matt Centrowitz, will

be Olympic champion. Centrowitz, a gold-medallist

for the USA. Well, celebrations for

Spain's Ruth Beitia, after winning that rather lacklustre

high jump competition. The 37-year-old actually retired

after London and then after two months she thought it was boring

and got stuck back into training. Here she is, forth in London 2012,

Olympic champion here in Rio. The same height

for all three medals. And Morgan Lake, a credible

1.93, in 10th place. Well, there's Julius Yego

on the left, Walcott on the right. It has been a long time since

Germany took the title, in 1936. That was in Berlin all

of those years ago. It has taken so many

years to take that title. And Wolcott was the

champion four years ago. There are the GB women

from the 4x400. Enjoying their lap

of honour with the So many of the girls have been

working so hard to stay injury free, first of all, to put

themselves in a good position. I was on a train journey

with Emily Diamond, having a long chat about what has happened

in their career. She has had a good, solid

winter, which has made She was six during

the championships. -- she was sick. She couldn't

perform to her highest level. I was at the kitting out

process for Emily Diamond and she was like a little

kid, getting her kit. For her to come through,

the first Olympics and to get And of course, Christine pretty

much said after her solo run that it was pretty

much it for her. And now we have seen her leave

the stage with yet I said it before, it equals

what previously was be held by Steve to win an Olympic medal in three

consecutive Olympic medals, Her whole career has been great,

from the time she kicked off. Back in Melbourne in 2006

when she won that gold medal And everybody was flabbergasted

when she burst onto the scene. So for me it's a real, true,

great end to a wonderful career. And she is such a matriarchal figure

within that team. They look to her for the leadership,

that cohesive nature that she has, getting girls on-side

and getting them to believe that they are capable

of winning a medal. She is the backbone of

that quartet. Now she is going, what she will have

taught them and the legacy... She said, you can do this,

and they have. So hopefully they can

carry that forward. Well, you can see the catwalk

is happening, and I know this is one of your favourite part

of the evening, Michael. The USA, give them

a mark out of ten. I don't think they will

live up to last year. For having the same name

three times, I think You would expect more from three

guys on the team all from the same family.

They have had plenty of time to get this choreographed.

No, they wouldn't, they are very understated.

It looks like they are giving a winning salute in case

I did say that and that was a major mistake.

A few disqualifications later and they got

They will not be the favourites, let us say that.

Such a legacy in this event, but not the defending champions for 2012.

That was the Bahamas, who are not as good

The US are the champions from last year, the world champions.

LaShawn Merritt has been brought in on that team.

Jamaica looked very good in the semifinals, but the standard

Teams like Botswana, who had three athletes in the 400 metres

for the first time, a couple of them went out in the rounds

Do not count out Belgium with the Borlee twins plus one brother

It will be the same like for the women.

The US and Jamaica for the gold, I believe and then it will be

I was thinking that if there was a particular change that will be

crucial for both teams, whether it will be with Jamaica

when they have to pass on to Jurong, because in the past he has blasted

off and lost a medal rather than gained it.

I wonder if he will have a wiser head and rain himself in?

They do not have a world-class worldbeater podium to 400 metre

on the team so they need to stay close to the US,

The anchor will be the problem for them

The anchor will be the problem for them because Merritt is the anchor.

So, for the final time and the 2016 Rio Olympics, I will handed over

A pity that Great Britain are not in this.

Just a mention, going back to the women, Kelly Massey also

She did very well in the qualifying yesterday.

A shame that Great Britain's men could not be part of the party.

And Kelly will get her medal for playing her part

in what was a great finish for the British team.

What sort of finish will we see here?

Michael was making the point that one or two of these teams

could have been so much better, including Botswana.

Their very good junior is injured and not here.

The Bahamas have bought Mathieu back in.

Chris Brown has been moved to the final leg.

Mathieu was not running so well this year.

Two of them were in the team who won, defeated the US

The scrap will be on for the bronze medal,

Belgium ran a national record to get into the final.

Jamaica have juggled their team around a bit.

Fitzroy has been brought in, Francis on the final leg.

And Poland just seem to find something a bit extra

It is wonderful that they are in the final event here in Rio.

They have played their part, of course in the athletics

programme, that incredible surprise, seems so long ago now

Four men, each trying to run their team into a medal position.

Brazil, Poland, Jamaica, USA, Bahamas, Botswana and Cuba.

America will be looking to really stamp their authority on this early.

Hall has been given the job to go off first and McQuay will be

on the second leg stop he runs quite well and he is on a brilliant run.

You would think that by the time to get to the lead,

the US will have this by the scruff of the neck but I not sure that

The Bahamas with Russell going first is running a good first leg.

Botswana, as expected with Isaac stretching out had not run

so well individually but doing well for his team.

Good run from the US and also for Jamaica.

An exciting young Botswana and who has just turned 18.

But the man who has it for the United States is McQuay.

The huge roar from the crowd is for Brazil.

They are trying to hang on in seventh place at the moment.

The US is out in front and Botswana are hanging on.

Jamaica got a way to go to get into this scrap here.

It is the US, and Botswana have frontloaded their team.

They have bought their best to run as an early and that is why

they are going to come home in the league it in the USA

I don't think this will last too long.

The Borlees are trying to run for a medal here.

Yes, Dylan Borlee for Belgium at the moment.

He will run past Borlee was not been running too of the season.

For Jamaica, Fitzroy Dunkley has come in after not running

in the heats and he is trying to close the gap down.

Dangerous, dangerous in the relay to try and give out

A little bit of a stumble here from the United States,

The US lead but not by much, however.

Chris Brown from the Bahamas will be taken on Francis to try and run

And then on the last leg for Belgium it is Kevin Borlee.

A massive scrap for the bronze medal. Botswana trying to hang on as

Merritt moves away. France is trying to get there, Borlee trying to

squeeze through. Jamaica for silver

and Chris Brown hangs The charging Borlee

could not quite get there. It was a far more difficult race

in the USA may have expected. But Merritt, once he had

the baton in the lead, They frontloaded their team

and they hung in and they hung in. It was such a shame

that they could not quite Was well judged by Jamaica

and the Bahamas. Chris Brown hanging

on after all of those years, There he is, being

lifted up by his team. The Bahamas had Gardner on the third
