:00:00. > :00:07.taken. Both the Toft brothers have defended superbly in this match.
:00:08. > :00:14.It's amazing to see Rene Enders Toft here at all -- Rene Toft here at
:00:15. > :00:17.all. He has made his return quicker than the doctors anticipated. That
:00:18. > :00:23.is why he is so heavily taped up. The shot came in and Landin has got
:00:24. > :00:27.himself caught in the net, managed to get out of it now. I think it is
:00:28. > :00:29.Toft, who we were just talking about, who has been given the
:00:30. > :00:47.two-minute suspension. Karabatic looks to the left. It is a
:00:48. > :00:53.foul. I have some sympathy for him. Denmark are short-handed, harshly, I
:00:54. > :00:57.think. France are going to try and take advantage. There is still
:00:58. > :01:02.plenty of time but they trail by one. They have had the advantage
:01:03. > :01:11.since Karabatic went off for treatment. It has been a long attack
:01:12. > :01:17.by France, Karabatic moves to his right. Attacking foul and he should
:01:18. > :01:26.know better, the experienced redback runs into two static defenders. He
:01:27. > :01:31.was so free -- right back. Good defending, closed the gap quickly.
:01:32. > :01:39.Denmark still leading by one goal. The last couple of minutes in terms
:01:40. > :01:44.of goal-scoring. Denmark now with a player down. They have taken off the
:01:45. > :01:51.goalkeeper and all six players that remain on the court are up the court
:01:52. > :01:58.attacking. Hampton. Fouls. One minute left for Denmark with this
:01:59. > :02:09.player disadvantage. Christiane said.
:02:10. > :02:18.-- Christiansen?. Omeyer saves them. Hansen had a chance from the air.
:02:19. > :02:25.Quick reactions from the 39-year-old. His 12 save. Just got
:02:26. > :02:31.his hand to it to palm it over the bar, great stop by Omeyer. For the
:02:32. > :02:38.goalkeepers, you cannot just block it Willy you have to try and deflect
:02:39. > :02:49.it. Some commitment from the Danish defence. Got away with that on this
:02:50. > :02:56.occasion. Good save by Landin. Needed to look to the right wing,
:02:57. > :03:01.there was a diagonal pass. So difficult to see when you are down
:03:02. > :03:14.on court in a sea of defenders, the slave trade for a Landin hovering
:03:15. > :03:28.around 24%. -- save rate. Christiansen scored just one goal.
:03:29. > :03:40.Hampton goes around, good defending. -- Hansen.
:03:41. > :03:52.Number two for Sondergaard. Rene Toft was doing a good job holding
:03:53. > :04:00.back of the defenders. The advantage for Denmark is back up to two. Very
:04:01. > :04:06.close game this and we have only got 17 minutes remaining in the match.
:04:07. > :04:15.France are two goals down and they are getting a little frustrated.
:04:16. > :04:20.Narcisse has common -- has come on. That balance was too hard, over the
:04:21. > :04:31.top, thought he had a push on the way but the referee says nothing and
:04:32. > :04:33.the Danes are way. Larsen comes around. Looks like he is going to
:04:34. > :04:57.stay on in attack. Olsen in the middle. Karabatic is
:04:58. > :05:03.off and sitting next to the coach. Good defence but Olsen is free.
:05:04. > :05:14.Hansen. The arm is up, shot down the middle. It comes off Larsen.
:05:15. > :05:24.Narcisse. Beautiful play, lovely angle. What an opportunity for Luc
:05:25. > :05:37.Abalo! He was pretty much flush straight on with the goal. Before he
:05:38. > :05:42.shot, so far wide. Those are not the opportunities you want to miss if
:05:43. > :05:51.you are France. With just over 50 minutes to go in the match. 21-19 to
:05:52. > :05:55.Denmark. The French shooting average still has not change from half-time,
:05:56. > :06:05.the Danes are slightly down as Svan Hansen goes in. Goal! Third goal of
:06:06. > :06:13.the game for Olsen. And a 3-goal advantage for the Danes. That is
:06:14. > :06:18.finished off. He gets another goal, he is one of the new players on the
:06:19. > :06:26.team. Desperate to get his first goal of the Olympic Games. He has
:06:27. > :06:33.played just one hour of handball in two weeks. There are still within
:06:34. > :06:46.two. We are in the Future Arena. France are changing now, Karabatic
:06:47. > :06:53.is pushed up. They do not need the space, because Sondergaard is there.
:06:54. > :07:00.He is doing the damage to the Crown Prince of Denmark -- he is doing the
:07:01. > :07:07.damage, to the delight of the Crown Prince of Denmark who has joined the
:07:08. > :07:19.crowd. The doctors have come over to have a look at this player.
:07:20. > :07:31.Mahe seem to be doing all right. Landin has not been flamboyant
:07:32. > :07:36.himself. They did change and put him in against the last match against
:07:37. > :07:43.Denmark and he had a good spell in gold. Perhaps he is hoping he can
:07:44. > :07:48.change their fortunes. Karabatic is back on again after another break
:07:49. > :07:52.and it appears he is not fully fit. He will give his all here in these
:07:53. > :07:57.last few minutes of the Rio games. The ball is stolen. He could not
:07:58. > :08:03.quite get hold of it properly, Mortensen. The chance for the fast
:08:04. > :08:11.break disappeared and he does not have much support. He saw there was
:08:12. > :08:17.no one upfront. Seventh turnover for France who are losing their way
:08:18. > :08:23.slightly here. Denmark looking to put to rest quite a few ghosts here
:08:24. > :08:28.against the French. European Championship final, World
:08:29. > :08:36.Championship final of 2013... A two minute suspension. It is Narcisse
:08:37. > :08:42.who is given it and he looks a little bunnies, I think there was a
:08:43. > :08:55.face in the hands of Olsen. -- he looks a little bemused. A real
:08:56. > :08:58.chance here for Denmark, leading by three and now with the power play,
:08:59. > :09:09.the winger is very deep, trying to take the opportunities. Henrik Toft
:09:10. > :09:17.on the line. Hansen goes down, it is a free throw. His club team-mate,
:09:18. > :09:21.Karabatic shakes his head. They are great friends but for now they have
:09:22. > :09:35.to put it aside. Clever play. Opens up a huge amount of space. And Svan
:09:36. > :09:45.Hansen scorers. Svan Hansen coming in and flinging it underneath. It is
:09:46. > :09:49.24-22 Denmark. France need to figure something out and soon because they
:09:50. > :10:00.are dropping further and further back from the Danes. Karabatic.
:10:01. > :10:04.Dipanda is in the centre. A foul given against Dipanda as he piled in
:10:05. > :10:10.to the Danish defenders. Denmark come forward again with the player
:10:11. > :10:16.advantage. Can they extend their lead to five? An excellent spell by
:10:17. > :10:19.Denmark and the French who are through various suspensions and
:10:20. > :10:25.treatment for Karabatic, turning some of the young players and they
:10:26. > :10:31.are making mistakes. Dipanda has had a couple of attacking fouls against
:10:32. > :10:40.him. It is all uncharted territory. Hansen, good save. Got a fingertip
:10:41. > :10:44.onto it. Denmark have possession. Olsen has shifted to the left hand
:10:45. > :10:50.side. Sondergaard. You can see daylight right through. The Danish
:10:51. > :10:57.bands, dare they start to believe that they are going to beat the two
:10:58. > :11:06.times defending Olympic gold medallists? They are five goals to
:11:07. > :11:10.the good with 12 minutes to go. We have seen some crazy things happen
:11:11. > :11:13.during the course of these games, but the French fans look concerned
:11:14. > :11:18.and a time-out is called by the French because they have got to try
:11:19. > :11:20.and sort this out. It will be fascinating to see if David Davis
:11:21. > :12:21.does the talking. France step back on court after that
:12:22. > :12:24.team time-out and Denmark are very much in control of the Olympic final
:12:25. > :12:34.and looking for glory here for the first time. Guigou. It is a penalty.
:12:35. > :12:43.Very slowly but surely forced his way past the defender, Larsen and
:12:44. > :12:50.forces the mistake on his shooting arm. Waved his arm in the air, that
:12:51. > :12:58.is all he wanted, he just wanted Larsen to touch it. This would put
:12:59. > :13:03.back to within four. It is Mahe who takes the shot and scorers that. He
:13:04. > :13:10.finds the back of the net and that is his first contribution of the
:13:11. > :13:15.entire match. But it underneath the leg, Landin seems to go the right
:13:16. > :13:34.way but he is too late. His father also played for France, Mahe.
:13:35. > :13:40.Sondergaard, Hansen. We have got a collision between two players and
:13:41. > :13:45.Karabatic who is already nursing an injury gets a brother gingerly and
:13:46. > :13:59.says I seem to have been the victim of a foul elbow -- gets up rather.
:14:00. > :14:05.It is still a free throw and the Danes will have it. Just under ten
:14:06. > :14:15.minutes to go, the initiative is very much with the Danish team.
:14:16. > :14:19.Maybe the first little signs of nerves, and clicking, the lips
:14:20. > :14:24.biting, he knows that his side have a lot to do to get back into this
:14:25. > :14:30.game. It is absolutely doable, but they better start doing it. That is
:14:31. > :14:36.not the way to do it, that is a goal from Morten Olsen. So precise, not
:14:37. > :14:40.that much power, but just picked the spot. Again, Karabatic getting
:14:41. > :14:46.frustrated with some good Danish defending. They were getting behind
:14:47. > :14:56.him. Toft. Tries again. That is good. Classic, simple but effective
:14:57. > :15:03.and finished off I Guigou. Eventually you will overlap if you
:15:04. > :15:15.do it very quickly. His face on that cutaway was very much, finally
:15:16. > :15:25.act-macro --! 25 leading the scoring with eight goals for Denmark. There
:15:26. > :15:35.he is, number 24 -- Hansen. Back again to Hansen. The Danes are in no
:15:36. > :15:39.real need to rush their play. Now Hansen will shoot, and attacking
:15:40. > :15:41.foul given against him and France come forward, they will want to get
:15:42. > :15:48.on with things as quickly as possible.
:15:49. > :16:01.Narcisse is back on again, Porte at the back. France have come here
:16:02. > :16:09.without two of their most experienced players defensively,
:16:10. > :16:13.both from PSG. Struggling a little bit when they turn to the bench.
:16:14. > :16:25.They have had to, because of injury to Nikola Karabatic. The discussion
:16:26. > :16:28.going on between Hanson and Svan about how they are connecting in
:16:29. > :16:34.defence. He caught him around the neck, a carbon copy of the last one,
:16:35. > :16:40.and Svan goes off for the second time. If he gets a third, it will be
:16:41. > :16:48.a red card and he will not be allowed to take part in the match.
:16:49. > :16:54.CHEERING Finds the back of the net. They get
:16:55. > :17:00.back down to three goals now. It had been as high as five earlier on. The
:17:01. > :17:06.friends are edging back into this game. He sends it to the right,
:17:07. > :17:12.after Landin commits himself will stop the French now pushing up very
:17:13. > :17:20.deep. Maybe deciding Hanson was too far out, told to keep an eye on him.
:17:21. > :17:25.Now he has switched his attention to Olsen. Chopping and changing.
:17:26. > :17:33.Disruptive influence at the front, trying to put them off making the
:17:34. > :17:39.crosscourt passes. Into the side netting. For a moment it may have
:17:40. > :17:49.looked like it may have gone in. Deflection on the shot from Hanson.
:17:50. > :17:53.We can see it again here, the shot. The goalkeeper has gone back in,
:17:54. > :18:00.after the brief experiment, I wasn't sure why they made the change in the
:18:01. > :18:08.first place. France now in very active defence mode. The ball loose
:18:09. > :18:13.again, long-range shot but saved. Why did he take the shot? Spinning
:18:14. > :18:17.around, against the shooting arm. Chance for the French with seven
:18:18. > :18:21.minutes remaining in the final, as Narcisse comes back again. This is
:18:22. > :18:28.the chance for France because Denmark are down to six players.
:18:29. > :18:37.Straight at Landin. He's in no rush to distribute it. I think he wants a
:18:38. > :18:41.change of ball. There is the shot from Karabatic. It wasn't straight
:18:42. > :18:47.at Landin he had to get his arm out, but it was near the centre of the
:18:48. > :18:52.goals. So, the Danes will look to try and lengthen this. There was
:18:53. > :18:56.talk in the last team Time out that they were going to leave it a little
:18:57. > :19:00.while longer and go to individual defence, man-to-man. Not for too
:19:01. > :19:10.long because the French have young players on the bench but they are
:19:11. > :19:14.relatively inexperienced. Good save. His break has done him good, Omeyer!
:19:15. > :19:31.Narcisse. Sorhaindo as the line player again. Narcisse, pointing to
:19:32. > :19:40.Porte. Didn't really have enough room to get a good angle on the
:19:41. > :19:46.goal. Karabatic. Again! Narcisse! Two goals in it now. Narcisse
:19:47. > :19:54.unimpressed with Landin's attempt to make the stop. Landin was very quick
:19:55. > :20:02.to try and apologise. As he shoots he gets Landin's foot in his face. A
:20:03. > :20:41.nice little karate chop. Another time-out by Denmark.
:20:42. > :20:48.The team Time out over very quickly for the French. Gudmundsson trying
:20:49. > :20:53.to keep his team together here. A five goal lead eaten away by the
:20:54. > :21:02.French. Still a little untidy in their attacking. Looking a tad tired
:21:03. > :21:09.as well. Just over five minutes to go in the Olympic final. Denmark
:21:10. > :21:13.26-24 France. Denmark in their first ever Olympic final and looking to
:21:14. > :21:19.get the biggest result in the men's handball team's career. Five minutes
:21:20. > :21:31.on the clock. France the two-time defending Gold Medal lists. France
:21:32. > :21:36.two up. Olsen takes a shot but is fouled in the act of shooting and it
:21:37. > :21:44.will be a free throw. Sorhaindo getting in the way, the Barcelona
:21:45. > :21:48.line player. Hanson now looks to his left, Olsen closely marked. Nikola
:21:49. > :21:58.Karabatic trying to interfere with the pass. Nearly going through, it's
:21:59. > :22:03.a free throw, as Sondergaard is knocked down. Nikola Karabatic this
:22:04. > :22:08.time. A little push in the air. A rather worried look on his face, he
:22:09. > :22:12.knew it was either a penalty or two minutes coming his way. Goes wide by
:22:13. > :22:21.Hanson! Denmark just struggling a bit, all
:22:22. > :22:28.of a sudden, France streaming back. Narcisse in the middle. That's going
:22:29. > :22:36.to be a free throw. That was lucky for them, as Porte puts it into the
:22:37. > :22:40.side netting. For minutes on the clock, France two goals behind. We
:22:41. > :22:51.could be in for a grandstand Gold Medal finish here. Mortensen down
:22:52. > :22:58.after battling with Sorhaindo. It is Mortensen who gives the Gallic shrug
:22:59. > :23:07.to the referee. Hard to take your pick which of the coaches is looking
:23:08. > :23:19.more anxious. The defence coach for Paris. Well blocked. Another free
:23:20. > :23:31.throw. He's been huge in defence for Denmark, Rene Toft. Cuts back. Why
:23:32. > :23:35.did he shoot? Free on the wing and he had the free throw. Made a few
:23:36. > :23:42.bad decisions, the French, haven't really got time to make any more
:23:43. > :23:46.now. Karabatic! Oh! Did it take a deflection? The pace completely
:23:47. > :23:53.taken out of the shot but it has gone in. It's his fifth goal. France
:23:54. > :23:58.is now just one goal the hind. Straight in from Karabatic and there
:23:59. > :24:04.is one goal in it with three minutes on the clock. France have fought
:24:05. > :24:10.back from five goals down. It was 25-20, now it is 26-25. Denmark
:24:11. > :24:15.starting to look a little less comfortable in the game. They had a
:24:16. > :24:21.superb period at the start of the second half when they just started
:24:22. > :24:30.to pull clear from the French. Hanson, out on the wing for Svan,
:24:31. > :24:36.scores it! Svan desperately trying to get back and block Karabatic, as
:24:37. > :24:45.France come forward. The referee saying nothing doing but get up,
:24:46. > :24:52.let's crack on with this. Well, it's nothing... A bit of mopping and
:24:53. > :24:58.carrying on. That goal brings to an end... France with a five goal
:24:59. > :25:06.turnaround, they had been 25-20 down, back to 25-26. After a lull,
:25:07. > :25:10.the Danes were glad to get a goal and put some space between them and
:25:11. > :25:16.the French. Dispossessed entirely fairly by Rene Toft! The clock still
:25:17. > :25:22.ticking. Denmark have to slow the pace down. Finding all kinds of
:25:23. > :25:26.excuses. Thinking about a change of ball as well. There is the incident
:25:27. > :25:40.again. Pulled out of his hand. 27-25. Three steals for both sides.
:25:41. > :25:54.Denmark coming forward, two goals to the good. Hansen... Look at the
:25:55. > :26:01.nerves on the Danish fans's faces, are they about to see their team win
:26:02. > :26:06.a first gold medal. Given away. Now France will have the chance to come
:26:07. > :26:13.forward. Less than a minute to go, has to be now or never for France!
:26:14. > :26:17.The whistle goes, too many steps, was it, from Karabatic? He can't
:26:18. > :26:22.believe it! With a minute left, the Danes are starting to party. The
:26:23. > :26:26.French coach has his head in his hands, as that could be it. They're
:26:27. > :26:29.going to have to really attack with their defence now, France.
:26:30. > :26:43.Man-to-man defence. The pressure telling in the end. On the
:26:44. > :26:53.talismanic French player. To kill the game, Larsen! That is surely it!
:26:54. > :27:00.Denmark surely heading for gold. The clock is stopped by 25 seconds for
:27:01. > :27:05.three goals, it is Everest to climb. Didn't care how they stopped him,
:27:06. > :27:11.Denmark. It was Rene Toft who committed the foul. The instructions
:27:12. > :27:20.still coming from Gudmundur Gudmundsson. The Danish fans are
:27:21. > :27:23.partying. They have lost the European and world title. There are
:27:24. > :27:28.about to lose the Olympic title. He scores but it's going to be too
:27:29. > :27:33.little too late, this third penalty. Landin stands tall, straight over
:27:34. > :27:38.his shoulder. Individual defence now. It would take a catastrophic
:27:39. > :27:41.series of mistakes by the Danes and a lot of clock stopping. They just
:27:42. > :27:47.have to run the clock down and the party can start! The party has a
:27:48. > :27:51.ready started, because there is the full-time whistle! For the first
:27:52. > :27:57.time in their history, Denmark are Olympic champions! They have won to
:27:58. > :28:00.EU Championships in their time, three times they have been
:28:01. > :28:04.runners-up in the World Championships, and in their first
:28:05. > :28:08.Olympic final they take the Gold Medal. For France, the two-time
:28:09. > :28:12.defending champions at Beijing at London are going to have to settle
:28:13. > :28:19.for silver here. But an historic day for Denmark, the greatest day in the
:28:20. > :28:23.history of the men's handball team, as they become Olympic champions.
:28:24. > :28:28.The French looking to the skies. The last game perhaps for the old guard
:28:29. > :28:41.of Thierry Omeyer, Daniel Narcisse, maybe even Nikola Karabatic. But
:28:42. > :28:47.delight for Denmark and that man, turning into a legend of the sport
:28:48. > :28:49.if he is not already. He set up so many assists in the game. The final
:28:50. > :29:01.score here, Denmark 28-26 France. Well, the Danish women's handball
:29:02. > :29:05.team have won Olympic gold on three separate occasions, but until now
:29:06. > :29:14.the men's Danish handball team had won no Olympic medals, so starting
:29:15. > :29:18.with gold? You can see what it means to them. You can also see what it
:29:19. > :29:25.means by the disappointment on the faces of the French team. Look at
:29:26. > :29:27.the Danes! Having a pretty good party, they will be having fun
:29:28. > :29:37.tonight. But as I said earlier on, 12 gold
:29:38. > :29:42.medals have been up for grabs on the last day of the Olympic Games. Some
:29:43. > :29:42.of them won already. Let's keep you up-to-date with some of the
:29:43. > :29:55.headlines. Kenny's Eliud Kipchoge as won the
:29:56. > :29:59.last two London Marathon and added Olympic gold to his CV today.
:30:00. > :30:10.Britain's Callum Hawkins finished a very creditable ninth place. Swiss
:30:11. > :30:17.rider Nino Schurter made it a full set of medals in the men's biking,
:30:18. > :30:24.he got bronze in Beijing, silver in London and gold here. There is a
:30:25. > :30:30.Shields took the team women's -- the women's middleweight title. She has
:30:31. > :30:36.not lost a single bout Indian to beaming for years since London. And
:30:37. > :30:43.as you've just seen, huge underdogs Denmark upset the odds to win the
:30:44. > :30:47.men's handball gold and deny France a third successive Olympic title.
:30:48. > :30:57.This is Denmark's first Olympic handball medal of any colour.
:30:58. > :31:07.And now you can see Jill Joyce, he is about to take part in his gold
:31:08. > :31:15.medal bout on BBC One at the moment -- Joe Joyce. We will show you the
:31:16. > :31:20.best of later. Last Saturday Mo Farah took his first gold medal of
:31:21. > :31:25.the Olympic Games in the 10,000 metres, he came, he fell, but
:31:26. > :31:28.ultimately he conquered. Last night in the 5000 metres he was bidding to
:31:29. > :31:42.do the distance double, repeating what he did in London 2012. Mo Farah
:31:43. > :31:44.going for the double double. Mo Farah trying to do something that so
:31:45. > :31:58.many greats could not do. You could go through all the great
:31:59. > :32:05.names of the past and he has an opportunity here to hopefully take
:32:06. > :32:15.this fourth gold medal and the double again would be his. That is
:32:16. > :32:20.pretty quick isn't it, 2.37 through the first kilometre, the quickest
:32:21. > :32:24.ever kilometres in an Olympic 5000. Is this a genuine attempt to take Mo
:32:25. > :32:29.Farah on or an attempt to get rid of as many people as possible? These
:32:30. > :32:34.guys have watched Mo Farah, they have seen him dominate the sport at
:32:35. > :32:38.world level, five World Championship gold medals, three Olympic gold
:32:39. > :32:41.medals already, now they have decided and I think this is clever
:32:42. > :32:46.and sensible on their behalf, they are saying we cannot beat him in a
:32:47. > :32:51.slow race, let us try and make it a bit faster. Mo Farah now in the
:32:52. > :32:55.middle of a pack is being tested in endurance, they are talking about
:32:56. > :33:02.who will go next and whether they will go, seven laps to go in the
:33:03. > :33:06.men's 5000 metres and so far the Ethiopian plan to stretch Mo Farah
:33:07. > :33:14.and see if he has the strength coming is faster than the fastest,
:33:15. > :33:20.they will find out if he is stronger than the strongest. Great Britain
:33:21. > :33:24.web two man in the top seven, Ethiopia leading it but slowing,
:33:25. > :33:30.that was the slowest lap, the previous one. I suspect this one
:33:31. > :33:37.will be even slower. This one looks if anything a bit slower. Mo Farah
:33:38. > :33:42.is saying, this is your opening gambit, I have taken this, thank
:33:43. > :33:46.you, not good enough, I am ready, I am waiting, I am right here, right
:33:47. > :33:50.where I want to be, I am just letting you know that I am here, you
:33:51. > :33:55.slow down, I moved to the front, you speed up, I am going with you. He is
:33:56. > :34:05.already one of the all-time greats, is he about to run himself into the
:34:06. > :34:07.list of the very best we have ever seen, for my money he is already
:34:08. > :34:11.there, he is determined, he hates losing, he wants to win again. He
:34:12. > :34:17.has run thousands of miles in training and now he is into his last
:34:18. > :34:22.mile, four laps to go in this Olympic final, a mile that could
:34:23. > :34:26.take him to further Olympic glory, a mile that could take him to his
:34:27. > :34:31.fourth Olympic gold medal and he has decided he wants to get rid of this
:34:32. > :34:40.race early, he does not want to let them control it, the one who I
:34:41. > :34:45.thought was a danger is there. 1000 metres left in that 5000 metre
:34:46. > :34:49.final. That was the slowest kilometre. Mo Farah leading, danger
:34:50. > :34:53.everywhere he looks, but he knows that all of these people have tried
:34:54. > :34:58.in the past two out kick him and none of them have managed to get
:34:59. > :35:06.past him. None of these people are quicker than Mo Farah when he is at
:35:07. > :35:10.his best. Mo Farah is leading it. He comes down the back straight, three
:35:11. > :35:18.medals in the by, is it to be another one, an historic four? He is
:35:19. > :35:25.checking behind, to the side, looks up at the big screen, sees them all
:35:26. > :35:31.their, Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo on the inside, Bernard Lagat, almost a fall
:35:32. > :35:38.as Hagos Gebrhiwet had a little shove. There goes Mo Farah at the
:35:39. > :35:42.bell. He has got company, he is accelerating, he is sprinting, he is
:35:43. > :35:46.in the driving seat, as he got the finish that we have seen him produce
:35:47. > :35:52.over the years, can he add to the three gold battles that he has? He
:35:53. > :35:58.looks again, Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo pushes out. Mo Farah knows that he
:35:59. > :36:03.just has to hold the curve, he just needs to hold the lead, they will
:36:04. > :36:08.attack again, but Mo Farah has more to give, he has got speed in those
:36:09. > :36:12.legs to spare, he is looking up at the screen, they are trying to catch
:36:13. > :36:18.him, Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo looks the big danger for the USA, but Mo Farah
:36:19. > :36:22.looks inside, checks there is no danger, Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo is
:36:23. > :36:27.trying that he will not get him, Mo Farah has gone, there is no way he
:36:28. > :36:34.can stop them, Mo Farah is going to get the gold medal again, the double
:36:35. > :36:41.double, four Olympic titles, four Olympic gold medals, incredible from
:36:42. > :36:45.Mo Farah. Congratulations, a fourth gold medal, you have created another
:36:46. > :36:53.piece of history. I cannot believe it. My legs are bit tired, I do not
:36:54. > :36:56.know how I would recover. People were bringing me food in the room
:36:57. > :37:02.and I was resting and I cannot believe I did it. It is the dream of
:37:03. > :37:10.every athlete. I cannot believe it. It has not sunk in. Is this the most
:37:11. > :37:14.satisfying one? Definitely. It was not just a fluke in London, I have
:37:15. > :37:19.done it again here. I want to go home now and see my beautiful
:37:20. > :37:24.children and hang the medals around their neck. Husein was getting this
:37:25. > :37:32.battle, reanimate -- Rhianna has a medal. I have that drive. It is
:37:33. > :37:38.something we are born with. I hate losing. If you dream about something
:37:39. > :37:41.and you have ambitions and you are willing to work hard, you can
:37:42. > :37:45.achieve your dreams. It is something I have been working hard for years
:37:46. > :37:51.and years and sometimes there is disappointment, but you have to take
:37:52. > :37:56.it and learn from it. Each race you learn something. That is what got me
:37:57. > :38:02.there. I do not see my children. For me, I was not going to miss out. I
:38:03. > :38:08.wanted to do it for them. I will not catch up that time, but if I can
:38:09. > :38:09.achieve something in my career, that is something for them and that
:38:10. > :38:27.drives me. What an incredible storm we have
:38:28. > :38:31.coming. Look at the sky, you can see this huge weather front coming in,
:38:32. > :38:36.all the lights are starting to waver. Now, I am going to stand here
:38:37. > :38:42.and hold on for dear life, because last night, the golden ticket for
:38:43. > :38:48.sports fans here in Brazil and it was a lovely sunny day yesterday was
:38:49. > :38:53.that the Maracana have. It was Germany against Brazil in the final
:38:54. > :38:56.of football, it was Olympics and football colliding, it was
:38:57. > :38:57.everything that these Brazilian fans had wanted to see, let us find out
:38:58. > :39:08.what happened. Try telling the people here this is
:39:09. > :39:13.not the World Cup final, the two most successful footballing nations
:39:14. > :39:16.on Paris in one of the most iconic football stadiums in the world, both
:39:17. > :39:22.hoping to achieve something they have never done before, by securing
:39:23. > :39:27.an Olympic gold medal. Alongside me is Kevin Kilbane, if there is one
:39:28. > :39:34.side who you feel can master the occasion, it is the German side. It
:39:35. > :39:41.certainly is, so much experience, so much first-class experience. They
:39:42. > :39:49.can cause Germany a lot of problems. A decent effort against the frame of
:39:50. > :40:06.the goal by Brandt. He almost did silence the Marcana. There is
:40:07. > :40:20.Neymar. He has won the free kick. The ball was getting away from
:40:21. > :40:27.Neymar. It was a foul by 28. -- Ginter. It is Neymar. In the back of
:40:28. > :40:30.the net, the darling of Brazil provides the opening goal and you
:40:31. > :40:35.can probably hear that the roof on the Marcana is starting to
:40:36. > :40:46.reverberate! What a goal! Truly outstanding from Neymar. Tino Horan
:40:47. > :40:56.in gold, he could not strike it any better -- Timo Horn. He could not
:40:57. > :41:07.strike at any better. Here is Brandt. Trying to return it to
:41:08. > :41:10.Meyer. There is a foul on the edge of the area, Gabriel Jesus diving
:41:11. > :41:24.in. He is very high there, Gabriel Jesus. Brandt. Against the frame of
:41:25. > :41:29.the goal again! Well, Sven Bender deflected goal bound but could not
:41:30. > :41:45.score. Good ball played into a good area by Brandt, so unlucky.
:41:46. > :41:51.Meyer, Sven Bender. Deflected towards Meyer and there is the
:41:52. > :41:55.equaliser that Germany have threatened for so very long! The
:41:56. > :42:01.captain of Germany cancels out the goal from the captain of Brazil and
:42:02. > :42:07.they have silenced the Marcana. As soon as Sven Bender picks up the
:42:08. > :42:12.ball, Toljan is on the move and he has the awareness to put it in front
:42:13. > :42:19.of the Brazilian defence and real quality finish from Max Meyer,
:42:20. > :42:22.superb finish. 200 million Brazilians have just slumped in
:42:23. > :42:28.their various chairs. Neymar goals for the goal and is maybe a couple
:42:29. > :42:39.of feet beyond, just sets himself brilliantly. Turn, on Sven Bender, I
:42:40. > :42:45.think he had it covered, Timo Horn. We are to have extra time.
:42:46. > :42:54.Interception by Douglas Santos. Everyone is onside. Neymar looking
:42:55. > :42:59.to join in. There were two or three German defenders in the way. Toljan
:43:00. > :43:04.I think it was who made the block. They have been caught out a few
:43:05. > :43:11.times, Germany. That time Germany was vulnerable to the counterattack.
:43:12. > :43:22.Too quickly, too early. Could Luan have picked out Neymar? Marquinhos.
:43:23. > :43:29.-- Rafinha. Ms controlled by Douglas Santos, Germany come forward but
:43:30. > :43:33.Petersen. Brandt! That would have been magnificent. A heartbreaker
:43:34. > :43:40.perhaps for a Brazil, but a moment of genuine quality. Well, the
:43:41. > :43:45.Olympic Games is almost coming to its conclusion and therefore it
:43:46. > :43:51.does, a penalty shoot out will decide whether at the host nation
:43:52. > :43:56.are going to win a gold medal at the Marcana Stadium. It is Matthias
:43:57. > :44:01.Ginter, part of the Germany squad that beat Brazil 7-1 takes the first
:44:02. > :44:11.one and tucks it into the corner of the net. First blood, Germany.
:44:12. > :44:19.Renato Augusto has the responsibility of levelling up.
:44:20. > :44:22.Which she does. I'm so pleased for him because he has been the
:44:23. > :44:32.outstanding player for Brazil throughout the tournament. And now,
:44:33. > :44:39.there are boos for Arsenal's Serge Gnabry. And it is underneath his
:44:40. > :44:44.body. The goalkeeper got plenty on it, there were several thousand who
:44:45. > :44:52.thought he had saved it. Marquinhos from PSG steps up. To try and bring
:44:53. > :45:07.Brazil level. And he does it with aplomb. 2-2 on penalties. Brandt.
:45:08. > :45:14.Brilliant penalty. Absolutely faultless.
:45:15. > :45:26.Rafinha of Barcelona. Does he have the nerve? He does! The goalkeeper
:45:27. > :45:32.goes one way and he goes the other. I'm sure Neymar is deciding when to
:45:33. > :45:36.take the penalty. Meantime, the centre half from Hoffenheim, Sule,
:45:37. > :45:39.20 years old. He thumps it into the corner of the net as if it were just
:45:40. > :45:53.a dame against his family in the back garden. Now then, Luan, of
:45:54. > :45:59.Gremio. A little hesitation in the run-up but he pops it into the
:46:00. > :46:05.corner. We are all square at 4-4. One way or the other, Neymar's
:46:06. > :46:12.penalty is going to be significant. Niels Petersen, Once of Bayern
:46:13. > :46:19.Munich, now of Freiburg... His penalty save! It is all set for
:46:20. > :46:23.Neymar! The player who went off in tears in the quarterfinal because he
:46:24. > :46:30.couldn't take part in the semifinal. The stage is set. Surely it could be
:46:31. > :46:35.his moment? Now then, Neymar, can you provide the gold medal for your
:46:36. > :46:38.country? Redemption awaits for the side who couldn't win their own
:46:39. > :46:46.fever World Cup two years ago... Neymar... Scores!
:46:47. > :46:54.CHEERING 200 million Brazilians scream with
:46:55. > :46:59.delight. The golden boy has provided the moment that his country craved.
:47:00. > :47:09.Knocked out by Germany in a game that no one will ever forget.
:47:10. > :47:14.Well, I didn't think it was possible for Neymar to do commit bigger star
:47:15. > :47:18.than he was before that match, but last night really has sealed his
:47:19. > :47:28.place in the folklore of Brazilian sport. One of the most popular
:47:29. > :47:38.sports at the Olympic Games is basketball. USA have won the title
:47:39. > :47:45.13 times. Can they make it 14? Over to our commentators.
:47:46. > :47:54.COMMENTATOR: In the semifinal he had a great game too. Clay Thompson
:47:55. > :48:13.misses from the outside. Driven towards the basket. He has
:48:14. > :48:21.been mismatched now and he misses. That is the importance of DeAndre
:48:22. > :48:32.Jordan. He is so strong in the paint. That is why he has earned his
:48:33. > :48:39.starting spot for the US. Interesting, he had the chance of a
:48:40. > :48:45.pass but instead took the shot. Jordan, the worst foul shooter on
:48:46. > :48:52.the US team, shooting well under 50%. He misses that. It's 3-2 to
:48:53. > :49:04.Serbia. That will be a foul, reaching it an Klay Thompson. When
:49:05. > :49:13.Australia have pressured them defensively, Serbia could get out of
:49:14. > :49:23.it. Tipped by Thomson, taken by Jordan. Into Klay Thompson. Thomson
:49:24. > :49:29.with a fade away jump, it is good and it is for- three. It's
:49:30. > :49:32.incredible but Klay Thompson was averaging 3.8 game in the group
:49:33. > :49:38.stage! That was extraordinary, but he stepped it up in the final group
:49:39. > :49:51.stage matches. The whistle against Kevin to rant -- Kevin Durant for a
:49:52. > :49:57.foul off the ball. He didn't fire in the semifinal, surprising because he
:49:58. > :50:17.has had such a good Olympic Games. Three from the foul line and it is
:50:18. > :50:32.5-4 to Serbia. Durant... He has got the mismatch. The rebound comes down
:50:33. > :50:40.to Markovic. Markovic comes on the layup and Mrs. Going for the basket.
:50:41. > :50:48.It was tipped away from him by Kalinic. 5-4, Serbia. Serbia will be
:50:49. > :50:54.delighted with the way they have defended so far. Serbia know if it
:50:55. > :51:00.is one-on-one battles they're not going to win. They have to work as a
:51:01. > :51:03.unit defensively. And the paradox there is that the US, all through
:51:04. > :51:13.this tournament, has not really have the extra pass, the third pass
:51:14. > :51:25.against the open shot. Teodosic takes the jumper from the foul line
:51:26. > :51:37.and makes it 7-4. Jordan, Durant. Jumper from the foul line, misses.
:51:38. > :51:40.Teodosic back. Durant comes right back with it. The US spreading it
:51:41. > :51:46.out. Not much movement through the middle by them. Jordan setting up
:51:47. > :51:50.underneath. Durant draws the foul, but that was a difficult shot. The
:51:51. > :51:59.other Americans are standing around, which you can live with. It's
:52:00. > :52:03.extraordinary that the US have not used the movement more because that
:52:04. > :52:08.is what Serbia do and it creates openings and it creates shots. So
:52:09. > :52:11.far it is going Serbia's way. Compared to what happened in the
:52:12. > :52:15.group stage, it's actually not that much of a surprise. Durant misses
:52:16. > :52:27.Well, we praised the Serbia team and said their passing was excellent and
:52:28. > :52:38.their defence was really strong. -- he praised. He knew they were in for
:52:39. > :52:55.a game here. Serbia lead by two. Markovic brings it up. Teodosic in
:52:56. > :53:02.two Raduljica. He kicked the ball. That was hard to tell exactly what
:53:03. > :53:07.went wrong, there. If it is a foul, you would think it might be an
:53:08. > :53:15.sportsmanlike conduct. He kicked the ball. Well, it has gone Serbia's
:53:16. > :53:22.way. Absolutely. Oh sorry, he kicked the ball. Now I understand.
:53:23. > :53:27.Teodosic... And that one is tipped away and Durant having trouble
:53:28. > :53:34.gathering it in, but he gets it and they are tied at seven.
:53:35. > :53:48.Teodosic misses the three, but the rebound to Macvan. It is something
:53:49. > :53:55.they did so well against Australia. When you can start dominating them,
:53:56. > :54:02.that is a big advantage. Now Anthony wants the ball on the baseline. He's
:54:03. > :54:10.got a size advantage. He goes across court to Thompson, who wants the
:54:11. > :54:18.three. He just beat the shot clock. It will be a foul on Markovic. That
:54:19. > :54:23.is what Serbia don't mind, they don't mind fouling. They're going to
:54:24. > :54:27.be aggressive whatever happens. The shot clock is running down and there
:54:28. > :54:33.are no easy attempts for the US so far, except for that one. He
:54:34. > :54:43.struggled to get it under control! That is one thing use C sometimes
:54:44. > :54:48.from a guy who is six foot nine. Thompson goes for the three and
:54:49. > :54:56.hits. Just under half way through the first quarter.
:54:57. > :55:13.Teodosic, drives, splits two defenders and Jordan stops that and
:55:14. > :55:17.Thompson had it, the alley-oop to Jordan didn't work. Defensively,
:55:18. > :55:23.Jordan is magnificent. To stop Teodosic and then working so hard to
:55:24. > :55:26.get back at the other end. No way through for Teodosic. Amazing that
:55:27. > :55:31.Jordan has become such a key player for the United States. He really
:55:32. > :55:42.needs -- they really need him on defence. They really need him as a
:55:43. > :55:54.stopper. He's really taken over from Cousins as the starting centre.
:55:55. > :55:55.Jordan can't hold it and it falls to Bogdanovich, his first touch of the
:55:56. > :56:14.ball. Bogdanovic. Stripped away and I
:56:15. > :56:17.think Thompson was out of bounds. Serbia will be delighted with how
:56:18. > :56:26.they started this game, keeping up with the United States. It's better
:56:27. > :56:39.than how they started in the group game. You see what Serbia can do
:56:40. > :56:51.here, as Jovic comes in. That will be a foul on Anthony, trying to poke
:56:52. > :56:56.the ball away. Jovic played in a number of tournaments and it's like
:56:57. > :57:00.having two more starters coming in. The way the coach has rotated his
:57:01. > :57:09.team and put his team together has been really amazing stuff. Raduljica
:57:10. > :57:18.with a nice pasta back and gives it to Jovic, but he misses. USA in the
:57:19. > :57:31.lead at 11-9. And that is their first lead...
:57:32. > :57:38.Actually it is their first lead in the game. Bogdanovic. Great drive
:57:39. > :57:43.and great look. Raduljica stuffs it through. Bogdanovic drew two
:57:44. > :57:52.defenders to him and then played the low bounce pass. Two of the hottest
:57:53. > :58:05.dunkers in the game. The ball stolen away by Bogdanovic, and the foul.
:58:06. > :58:11.You see what Irving is saying. I think he got the ball, there. Watch
:58:12. > :58:17.the left arm. The left arm of Bogdanovic made contact with Irving.
:58:18. > :58:23.He's saying, he made contact with me. That is one that rarely gets
:58:24. > :58:28.called. Against Australia we saw it, they just know when to pressure and
:58:29. > :58:32.get the hand in at the vital moment. They do it so well. Defensively they
:58:33. > :58:39.have been fantastic throughout this Olympic Games, Serbia. He hasn't got
:58:40. > :58:42.going yet, Bogdanovic. But he is a player who seems to grow with the
:58:43. > :58:55.game and usually improves as the game goes on.
:58:56. > :59:09.Serbia up I2-macro with three and a half to play in the first quarter.
:59:10. > :59:25.He took a shot as he went through the middle. I think Cousins is going
:59:26. > :59:28.to have the foul for pushing. The Serbian defensive pressure, they are
:59:29. > :59:36.not allowing the United States to play the game that they want to
:59:37. > :59:40.play. You can see from the coach's face that he is not happy with the
:59:41. > :59:44.way his team are playing. They're getting a bit frustrated, the US,
:59:45. > :59:49.with a view technical fouls called against them. That was the earlier
:59:50. > :59:51.contact. The 15th foul from the United States. That is why Serbia
:59:52. > :00:24.are at the line here. Only three minutes left. Kyle Lowry.
:00:25. > :00:31.And other foul. And other two shots at the basket as well. It has gone
:00:32. > :00:36.the United States' way. It is so difficult to tell! I know exactly
:00:37. > :00:48.what you mean. The arms are wrapped up. Burke of which takes the dive,
:00:49. > :00:55.which is what you're told to do. -- Bircevic. The referee has to make a
:00:56. > :01:05.judgment call, who does he think had more grip on the other? Cousins
:01:06. > :01:21.makes the second. Three minutes to play.
:01:22. > :01:28.The ball went over the back line. It is an unusual mistake because
:01:29. > :01:29.usually they are so aware of what is going on and they communicate really
:01:30. > :01:44.well. Jimmy Butler is cutting through the
:01:45. > :01:47.middle while Kevin Durant shoots across. Cousins tried to make room.
:01:48. > :02:00.Butler picked up the loose ball. A great hassle, two Serbians going
:02:01. > :02:38.for it. That is a foul, Simonovic with his
:02:39. > :02:42.hands in the air. Defensive display from Serbia. We saw them against
:02:43. > :02:50.Australia, they are giving the United States really tough time.
:02:51. > :02:56.They are so aware of what the possibilities are, when the player
:02:57. > :03:05.loses his dribble, they pounce on it. They know what the possible path
:03:06. > :03:12.is. There was no avenue for George. He seems to have hurt his mouth. It
:03:13. > :03:21.is a physical, aggressive game, which is how they want to play.
:03:22. > :03:30.We have had 11 fouls so far in this 1st quarter. They have to pick up
:03:31. > :03:41.the pace if they want to match the group game. It has been a great
:03:42. > :03:47.contest so far. Serbia are pushing the United States. It is the
:03:48. > :04:05.question of whether they can last. They have lasted in previous games.
:04:06. > :04:21.Cousins to the ball, and Bogdanovich missed.
:04:22. > :04:28.Cousins laid it in. This is new from the United States, they have started
:04:29. > :04:33.to look for the inside pass. Cousins carried it, offensively he is more
:04:34. > :04:37.of a player and Jordan. And he has just proved it. The United States
:04:38. > :04:43.need this, movement. This will open up the Serbian defence. If they do
:04:44. > :04:48.it more often they will get more turns at the basket. The United
:04:49. > :05:16.States is two ahead. One minute to play in this quarter.
:05:17. > :05:19.At some of the players from the US women's team, who won the gold
:05:20. > :05:32.medal. He stepped out, the court is a bit
:05:33. > :05:37.smaller than the NBA, and the players who play in the NBA are not
:05:38. > :05:42.used to the smaller court, and step out on a number of occasions. It
:05:43. > :05:56.sounds like a blues song, stepping out. Theodicy
:05:57. > :06:04.is how he got that pass back, I thought it was a deflection, it was
:06:05. > :06:09.that good. He has the vision and ability to get the ball out in
:06:10. > :06:19.strange situations. He makes the second. 35 seconds to go.
:06:20. > :06:26.Kevin Durant finally hit the three. This is where the US has basically
:06:27. > :06:36.kept themselves in games. Eventually Kevin Durant, and a couple of other
:06:37. > :06:40.boys, Klay Thompson, they open up their game and it is hard to defend
:06:41. > :06:51.against them. They are pretty hard to stop.
:06:52. > :06:57.That was off at the buzzer. What a great 1st quarter at basketball.
:06:58. > :07:06.That gives the United States the first clear space they have had over
:07:07. > :07:12.Serbia. They lead 19 to 15. STUDIO: so, at the moment, the USA
:07:13. > :07:16.is still going for their 15th gold medal, but Serbia are running them
:07:17. > :07:20.close. We will be back for the second period in a couple of
:07:21. > :07:25.minutes. You can see the weather is still pretty windy. My ponytail is
:07:26. > :07:30.like a propeller. We have some helper is holding everything down.
:07:31. > :07:35.We will see how we get on. As we have been talking about it today, it
:07:36. > :07:39.is the last day of Olympic action. 12 medals on offer, some of them
:07:40. > :07:49.have been handed out. Let us bring you up to date. Kenya has won the
:07:50. > :07:54.last two London marathons, and to guided Olympic gold in the final
:07:55. > :08:02.athletics event. Callum Hawkins from Team GB finished ninth. Swiss rider
:08:03. > :08:12.Nino Schurter made it a full set of the Olympic medals in the mountain
:08:13. > :08:19.banking. Bronze in Beijing, silver in London and cold here. Grant
:08:20. > :08:26.Ferguson came 17. Shields won they women's middleweight. She won big
:08:27. > :08:33.gold last year and has not lost in the intervening four years. And as
:08:34. > :08:41.you saw, the huge underdogs Denmark upset the odds to win the men's's
:08:42. > :08:43.handball gold, to deny France third successive gold medal. This is their
:08:44. > :08:52.first handball medal of any colour for the men.
:08:53. > :08:58.USA national side has not been beaten since 2006, and they are
:08:59. > :09:18.going for their 15th gold medal. Here is the 2nd quarter.
:09:19. > :09:30.Bogdanovic Telegraph that. 21-15. It is not often that it is telegraphed
:09:31. > :09:39.by Serbia. It hit the front, and then there was a deliberate foul on
:09:40. > :09:47.Kyle Lowry to stop the fast break. That was his first personal. If I am
:09:48. > :09:53.reading the sideline chat correct, from the American bench, I don't
:09:54. > :09:57.think they always understand the fouls. In an NBA, you would get six,
:09:58. > :10:07.and here you get five. They are precious, you do not want to... He
:10:08. > :10:13.just got another, see what I mean? Usually gets into that, he is so
:10:14. > :10:22.aggressive, and plays in the area where you commit fouls. Every foul
:10:23. > :10:31.is precious. He has got very quick hands, and wants to use them to poke
:10:32. > :10:38.the ball away. This is the way the United States want to play the game.
:10:39. > :10:45.Klay Thompson comes in. If they're outside shooters get fired, and Klay
:10:46. > :10:56.Thompson really starts fighting, they could get away. He is a good
:10:57. > :11:02.outside shooter. DeMar DeRozan has gone. He does not play much
:11:03. > :11:05.generally. We saw against Spain, the amount of technical fouls that were
:11:06. > :11:10.called. If you start arguing the case for too long, you'll get it
:11:11. > :11:17.cold against you. It is one of the things that the coaches need to
:11:18. > :11:25.stress. That was tipped away, then off. In the NBA, players are used to
:11:26. > :11:31.the referees, and vice versa, they can say a certain amount of stuff as
:11:32. > :11:34.long as they are not showing them up, basically. Here, they can get
:11:35. > :11:37.very sensitive. That is just the way that they referee the game, and you
:11:38. > :11:45.have to understand that and play accordingly. Yes, we know it, and we
:11:46. > :11:48.knew it coming into the tournament, and everyone coming into
:11:49. > :11:55.international basketball knows it. George was partially blocked. Kyle
:11:56. > :12:08.Lowry stall that one. Cousins didn't go either, and he gets the global.
:12:09. > :12:14.-- foul. Kalinic's reaction was to eat his shirt. If it keeps
:12:15. > :12:20.rebinding, they will get chances and eventually the basket. Kalinic's
:12:21. > :12:23.frustration was because Serbia could not get the rebound. If you give the
:12:24. > :12:29.US that many chances, something bad will happen. They did well in the
:12:30. > :12:32.1st quarter, to give away so many rebounds and keep the United States
:12:33. > :12:46.low scoring, but you cannot keep doing that.
:12:47. > :13:11.He wants people under the basket and a cut down the middle, that is what
:13:12. > :13:25.it looks like. Klay Thompson knocks it away from Mac fan. We have seen
:13:26. > :13:31.this before. He is really smart, he knows what he's doing. And he wants
:13:32. > :13:35.keep them on their game plan, and focus on it. That is how they did it
:13:36. > :13:37.in the group game. Do not worry about the score too much, just keep
:13:38. > :13:44.doing what you're good at. I'm surprised we have not seen as
:13:45. > :14:06.much of Nikola Jokic. He has to go for a smaller, quicker
:14:07. > :14:27.man. A brilliant pass, brilliantly done,
:14:28. > :14:41.he looked to Mavrovic and then set the bounds pass. -- mark of which.
:14:42. > :14:52.It looks like nothing is on, and then it is on. Another long-range
:14:53. > :14:55.three, makes it 28 - 17. The United States look more fired up than in
:14:56. > :14:57.the group stage. When Kevin Durant hits a three, he does not always
:14:58. > :15:17.celebrate like that. Markovic gets a good look and hit a
:15:18. > :15:25.tree. Serbia have just got to keep doing that. If you keep playing that
:15:26. > :15:31.game, you will keep getting baskets. Durant, he wants another one. And he
:15:32. > :15:36.hits another one. 31-20. He's picked it up now. He had a quiet semifinal,
:15:37. > :15:45.but he's got the hard hand for the United States. Markovic, and it is a
:15:46. > :15:49.steal. Durant stuffs it back. That was always going to be the job for
:15:50. > :15:53.Serbia. If one of those stars really turned it on, and Kevin Durant is
:15:54. > :16:02.now, the United States could get out of reach. Durant is that way before
:16:03. > :16:06.the pass. When it comes right to him and he stuffs it through. The United
:16:07. > :16:10.States would have looked at Serbia and seen the moves that they do. The
:16:11. > :16:15.players have cottoned on to that and now they're taking advantage of
:16:16. > :16:20.that. You talked about before how Serbia can be so difficult the
:16:21. > :16:23.second time round. They've had a look. The United States have done
:16:24. > :16:29.the same thing with the Serbs. This time around, they don't want to make
:16:30. > :16:33.the same mistake. Just under two macro minutes gone in the 2nd
:16:34. > :16:39.quarter. The US have increased the lead to 33. Serbia are having their
:16:40. > :16:47.second time-out of this quarter just to staunch the momentum. They know
:16:48. > :16:51.how to use the time-out just as good as anyone does. And Kevin Durant
:16:52. > :16:58.issue deny this, I don't know what you can do to stop him. The American
:16:59. > :17:02.team is built primarily on the fact that they know how to shoot. If Klay
:17:03. > :17:08.Thompson starts shooting like that... Durant is taking them from
:17:09. > :17:19.beyond the NBA strike which is about a foot and a half farther out than
:17:20. > :17:25.the international strike. It's hard. Bogdanovic has a good look. He
:17:26. > :17:28.misses. Serbia are still playing well. Their movement is so
:17:29. > :17:35.impressive. They are orchestrating things, knowing who to make the past
:17:36. > :17:40.two. It's great to watch. A coach's job is to make sure his players know
:17:41. > :17:45.how to get the good shots. Serbia are still getting good shots. It is
:17:46. > :17:49.the player's job to make those shots. The coach must get the
:17:50. > :17:55.players on who can make them. Jordan with the rebound, and the fall
:17:56. > :18:06.which... Covering his head with his shirt, is Kalinic. In frustration.
:18:07. > :18:15.That is the fourth full Serbia. But the big problem. Now the question is
:18:16. > :18:19.does Jokic come in as a forward? He's got no choice now. Still six
:18:20. > :18:27.minutes to go and he is already on the edge of fouling out. That is
:18:28. > :18:28.tough for Serbia. Similar pitch comes in instead. He is a smaller
:18:29. > :18:49.forward. -- Simonovic. Perhaps they can annoy DeAndre
:18:50. > :19:02.Jordan. Serbia will do everything they can to try and put him off his
:19:03. > :19:17.game. You just saw the replay. Has he been called for something? It's
:19:18. > :19:27.hard to tell. Similar pitch -- Simonovic has just come in the game.
:19:28. > :19:34.That one, put through. George got more of the ball than he did. Points
:19:35. > :19:41.to George. That one was what they call the foul. That surprises. That
:19:42. > :19:52.surprises me, too, because it looks like that just got a piece of the
:19:53. > :19:58.ball. It is an Raduljica. I can see the fall, he comes across the farm.
:19:59. > :20:05.Watch George's hand. I thought that was a foul, actually. He hit the
:20:06. > :20:13.elbow and held him off. It looked like he hit the ball. Raduljica,
:20:14. > :20:19.treading a fine line like usually does. He is on three personal fouls
:20:20. > :20:22.already. The US wanted a time-out because they were getting a little
:20:23. > :20:26.bit sloppy. The thing that players want in any basketball, all they ask
:20:27. > :20:31.in any sport from the referee is consistency. They want to know what
:20:32. > :20:32.is a foul and what isn't. What you can get away with, and what you
:20:33. > :21:10.can't. No matter how smart you are, there
:21:11. > :21:15.is no way to stop it. The coach has his assistant coach doing the job as
:21:16. > :21:17.well. He is an incredibly smart player as well. I think that is
:21:18. > :21:21.probably why the coach appreciates the work that he does because he
:21:22. > :21:37.realises how important that is on the court. Irving at the line. Makes
:21:38. > :21:44.the first. Jordan is still puzzled about his fall. He gets puzzled a
:21:45. > :21:49.lot. He comes back, and he's basically deducing it, asking if
:21:50. > :21:53.someone could tell him what he did. 35-22, just under six minutes to go
:21:54. > :22:02.in the 2nd quarter. Markovic brings it up for Serbia. Raduljica on the
:22:03. > :22:06.far post. He stays with three fouls. His team take it out to Markowitz.
:22:07. > :22:15.It goes in and out and Cousins gets the rebound.
:22:16. > :22:28.He has found the sweet spot. 28-22. Durant was well behind, get the
:22:29. > :22:33.easy. Markovic misses. Right now it's a little tight. There are so
:22:34. > :22:43.desperate to get back basket. Raduljica has fouled by Irving. You
:22:44. > :22:49.can't defend this, it's impossible. He is just figured. When he gets on
:22:50. > :22:56.a roll... Wow. I think he's going to join the Golden State Warriors. He
:22:57. > :23:02.will be flying for sure. Thompson and Durant breading the floor. Shots
:23:03. > :23:12.off, Cousins with the rebound. Up to a Irving.
:23:13. > :23:25.Irving, Cousins and in. Serbia have to improve. If they can't shoot, the
:23:26. > :23:29.United States will keep going. He notices the path went off of
:23:30. > :23:33.Cousins' foot and Serbia will keep possession. Watch Irving here, just
:23:34. > :23:40.dribbling through traffic and then he has the bounced past two Cousins,
:23:41. > :23:46.Cousins takes it off the glass. Jordan has got a different range. A
:23:47. > :23:52.great range. Our director has discovered that. Simonovic can't get
:23:53. > :23:57.the long want to fall. Cousins clears the board and Irving brings
:23:58. > :24:02.it up again. Past Bogdanovic, into the corner. Thompson, when he gets
:24:03. > :24:09.to spread those feet a little and get that square position, he doesn't
:24:10. > :24:13.miss. The US is now up by 21 points. George would like to take a
:24:14. > :24:21.time-out, I think, but he can't. That's what they need. Finally,
:24:22. > :24:27.Simonovic for three. They need a couple of good defensive blows and a
:24:28. > :24:30.couple of threes to get back within striking distance of the US which is
:24:31. > :24:36.where they were when the 1st quarter ended. Do and trying to spin around
:24:37. > :24:51.kudos that. I'm not sure why he had to throw that one around. -- trying
:24:52. > :24:58.to spin around Teodosic. Bogdanovich tried to get a bit of room.
:24:59. > :25:08.Look at that difference. It just makes Serbia's job harder. Not
:25:09. > :25:13.impossible, just harder. Thompson is off on the three, but Cousins keeps
:25:14. > :25:18.the rebound. Irving for three. Thompson tips it in and misses.
:25:19. > :25:25.Serbia trying to run it. Simonovic, he misses. Cousins gets the rebound
:25:26. > :25:30.to Irving. The game, the Americans have got multiple shots. Eventually,
:25:31. > :25:41.they do. That is the issue for Serbia. Durant to the basket. Jordan
:25:42. > :25:45.with the move. Jovic turns to his team-mates failing, who is going to
:25:46. > :25:54.stop him? Who should have been there? Serbia went down by a similar
:25:55. > :25:59.score against the United States. But they need to make more shots here.
:26:00. > :26:04.They cannot keep missing like this. Simonovic has just taken to threes.
:26:05. > :26:13.They have both been in the basket and come out. A good backpass by
:26:14. > :26:17.Bogdanovic. But now Bogdanovic doesn't take V3. Can't get it to
:26:18. > :26:24.drop. Jovic puts it in off the glass. The leader can be as great as
:26:25. > :26:28.it is. It's been great, but you have to finish it. They really have to
:26:29. > :26:35.put away their shots. At least they got that one in in the end. Durant
:26:36. > :26:39.just slowing things down. Cousins with a little screen. He drops it
:26:40. > :26:48.for Cousins. Cousins keeps control of the ball, goes to the hoop and
:26:49. > :26:59.the foul will be by Bogdanovich. In this much, physically, here is
:27:00. > :27:03.Durant. Good luck! He is so long. Six foot nine, might be a little bit
:27:04. > :27:16.taller, but he has got long legs and long arms. He is. They nicknamed him
:27:17. > :27:21.With the Tarantula. You can see why. He's an extraordinary athlete.
:27:22. > :27:24.They're looking comfortable on the bench. The Serbian team will keep
:27:25. > :27:31.fighting. No matter what the score is, they will keep plugging away.
:27:32. > :27:39.Cousins makes the second. It is a 20 point gain, 47-27. Just under two
:27:40. > :27:44.minutes to play in the first. Cousins goes out, Conor Langton it
:27:45. > :27:51.comes in for him. Anthony will, in effect, be the centre Mark. --
:27:52. > :27:56.Carmelo Anthony comes in for him. With Cousins and Jordan out, guess
:27:57. > :28:03.what happens to the middle of the court? Teodosic takes advantage of
:28:04. > :28:12.it. He drives the middle. Durant is just slowing things down.
:28:13. > :28:25.I think the United States are just sitting back and watching Kevin
:28:26. > :28:35.Durant. Clear out and let do it! Teodosic Falls, and he loses the
:28:36. > :28:41.ball. -- clear out and let Cady do it.
:28:42. > :28:52.Look at Cousins, 12 rebounds in the first half. DeAndre Jordan was
:28:53. > :28:56.rebounding very well. With that and the poor shooting so far from Serbia
:28:57. > :29:01.it is looking good for the United States. And Jordan has only got
:29:02. > :29:09.four. Is that all? It sounds like more. 16th and the two centres.
:29:10. > :29:18.Carmelo picking that up. To be honest, I would like to get someone
:29:19. > :29:28.to challenge Carmelo more. Jovic is my man. Good ball movement, all
:29:29. > :29:38.around the outside. We've seen that one! Repetition is boring. 52-29.
:29:39. > :29:42.That is the difference. Serbia do the same mood and missed the three.
:29:43. > :29:52.The United States with the same move get Durant to hit it. Good rebound
:29:53. > :30:00.by stomach. -- by Vladimir Stimac. That will be the end of the first
:30:01. > :30:10.half. After a close 1st quarter the US has outscored Serbia 33-14.
:30:11. > :30:17.Before the Olympic Games started, the USA were 16 to one onto the team
:30:18. > :30:22.there gold medal, and I do not think he would bet against them at this
:30:23. > :30:29.stage. Serbia have a lot of work to do. We will rejoin that match in
:30:30. > :30:35.just a few minutes. Let us turn our attention to boxing. As we know, Joe
:30:36. > :30:38.Joyce was bidding to emulate his great friend and sparring partner
:30:39. > :30:44.Anthony Joshua and win a gold medal before he turns professional after
:30:45. > :30:49.these Olympic Games. Today he was taking on France's Yoka. Let us go
:30:50. > :30:58.to the start of the second round. Joyce springs out of the corner.
:30:59. > :31:19.Yoka was unable to respond. A terrific start to the second round
:31:20. > :31:26.by Joe Joyce. We talk about the movement and punching being an
:31:27. > :31:32.attribute of Yoka. Joe Joyce set a pace that many find difficult to
:31:33. > :31:38.live with. The French man is blocking the punches. We have to
:31:39. > :31:46.give him credit. There are punches getting through. It is a better work
:31:47. > :31:54.great from Joyce. But he has two target the body.
:31:55. > :32:02.The rivalry stands at one apiece. Joe Joyce prevailed last summer to
:32:03. > :32:05.take the European games gold. Tony Yoka got his revenge at the
:32:06. > :32:13.semifinal stage of the World Championships. We spoke about this
:32:14. > :32:22.earlier, he has to move his head and block the shot.
:32:23. > :32:32.He cannot afford to get her many space. Joyce has to work harder. He
:32:33. > :32:40.has allowed Yoka that bit of space to work.
:32:41. > :32:47.Anthony Joshua spoke of the respect that generally exists between
:32:48. > :32:52.Olympic boxers, but in the media exchanges, and it may have been lost
:32:53. > :32:59.in translation... He is hurting, that was a good shot.
:33:00. > :33:23.Yoka in press conferences said that he does not regard Joe Joyce is a
:33:24. > :33:27.smart boxer. I do not know if that was lost in translation, he said
:33:28. > :33:34.this would be easier for him, but Joe Joyce has other ideas. He is
:33:35. > :33:45.demonstrating his physical prowess and his... He has to keep it going.
:33:46. > :33:52.Yoka is breathing through an open mouth. Joe Joyce came back with a
:33:53. > :34:02.triple right-hand. Two to the head, two to the body. That is Tony Yoka's
:34:03. > :34:09.fiance, and his friends. They do not look very convinced. It was good in
:34:10. > :34:16.terms of Joyce's effort and work great. This chap came back. Joyce
:34:17. > :34:23.targeting the body. They know it is close. Joe Joyce is setting a
:34:24. > :34:32.fantastic piece. He just avoided the shot coming back.
:34:33. > :34:40.Across the board for Yoka. He is very fortunate, the Frenchman.
:34:41. > :34:53.Going into the final round. Joe Joyce needs a good round to get back
:34:54. > :34:57.on parity from the judges. Into the third and final round. The Olympic
:34:58. > :35:00.superheavyweight final. Joe Joyce, in blue, the reigning World
:35:01. > :35:03.Championship bronze medallist looking to emulate the
:35:04. > :35:05.accomplishments of Audley Harrison and Anthony Joshua by claiming
:35:06. > :35:16.Olympic superheavyweight gold. But Yoka swept the second round
:35:17. > :35:22.unanimously on the scorecard. The judges preferred the single shots
:35:23. > :35:24.from Yoka. They will say that a lot of Joyce's punches were hitting
:35:25. > :35:47.gloves and elbows. The volume is coming from the man in
:35:48. > :35:52.blue, looking to overturn the two-point deficit. That is difficult
:35:53. > :35:57.to do, so the most straightforward thing is to stop this man in the
:35:58. > :36:01.third and final round. A real British Bulldog spirit. He is going
:36:02. > :36:28.for it. He is targeting the body. Joe Joyce has responded with punches
:36:29. > :36:32.to the body. Yoka, it takes a few seconds to recover. A fit man, the
:36:33. > :36:41.Frenchman. But he is tired. He is enjoying it.
:36:42. > :36:54.He is trying to distract Joe Joyce by doing the shovel. -- shuffle.
:36:55. > :37:04.Joyce has to find more quality here. Ten out of ten for effort.
:37:05. > :37:10.But Yoka is blocking a lot of the shots. Joe Joyce looking to find the
:37:11. > :37:22.finishing shot. Tony Yoka erecting the barricades.
:37:23. > :37:24.Clubs, forearms and elbows. Joe Joyce has defined the punch of a
:37:25. > :37:42.lifetime. A terrific atmosphere here, both men
:37:43. > :37:52.in pursuit of top spot. The ten second clapper is barely audible.
:37:53. > :38:02.Yoka having premature celebrations. Tony Yoka, he is going to add
:38:03. > :38:10.Olympic gold to World Championship gold, but he will know that has been
:38:11. > :38:14.in a fight against a man who gave it absolutely everything. He took his
:38:15. > :38:22.share of the first-round, but this man aged it 2-1. Yoka was unanimous
:38:23. > :38:27.in round two. I think Yoka was fortunate to take two of the scores.
:38:28. > :38:33.It was a good round from Joe Joyce. Very lucky indeed. The judges will
:38:34. > :38:37.say that a lot of the punches were to the arms and elbows, but you have
:38:38. > :38:42.to give him ten out of ten for effort. He could not have done
:38:43. > :38:44.anything else in terms of what he put on. A fantastic display. But
:38:45. > :39:01.Yoka will get it. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner, by
:39:02. > :39:13.split decision, and Olympic champion...
:39:14. > :39:27.In the red corner... Tony Yoka! So, the reigning world champion becomes
:39:28. > :39:31.the Olympic champion, with a split decision victory over Great
:39:32. > :39:35.Britain's Joe Joyce, and takes France's second gold medal of the
:39:36. > :39:45.boxing tournament. The other was won by the women he is due to marry here
:39:46. > :39:52.in real -- Rio at the end of the games. He got the youth Olympic gold
:39:53. > :39:58.six years ago. He deserves -- Joe Joyce deserves immense credit. Beer
:39:59. > :40:04.is the Olympic lightweight champion. And her husband to be draped in the
:40:05. > :40:11.French flag. What a wonderful moment. Reigning world champions,
:40:12. > :40:16.being crowned Olympic champions. Joe Joyce deserves immense credit,
:40:17. > :40:20.battling his way with her brilliant performance to the second position
:40:21. > :40:31.on the podium. He gave it everything he had in pursuit of Olympic gold.
:40:32. > :40:36.Best managers ahead. -- this man edged ahead. Joe Joyce becomes Great
:40:37. > :40:45.Britain's first silver medallist for Britain in this superheavyweight
:40:46. > :40:49.division. Every time they enter the superheavyweight tournament, they
:40:50. > :40:57.win a medal. You can be enormously proud of the
:40:58. > :41:03.performance, but devastating to come up short. Yes, the last bout of the
:41:04. > :41:08.night, the last medal for the Olympic Games of 2016, I thought the
:41:09. > :41:13.gold medal was mine. I just have to watch it back to see where I went
:41:14. > :41:22.wrong, if I went wrong. What did you make of the contest, Anthony? I have
:41:23. > :41:26.never seen a heavyweight throw so many punches in a fight before. We
:41:27. > :41:30.have been talking about counterpunching and aggression, Joe
:41:31. > :41:35.Joyce was in making the punch, and there is no way that you can block
:41:36. > :41:40.those shots, if you know what I'm saying. For me, here's the Olympic
:41:41. > :41:44.champion. Everyone here was cheering him on. In spirit he is champion. He
:41:45. > :41:52.has done so well. I am so proud at what he has achieved. The sky is the
:41:53. > :41:56.limit. He is a credit to the sport. Lovely words. Going into the final
:41:57. > :42:04.round, did you know that you had to stop him? Yes, he let me know that I
:42:05. > :42:09.was down, but I was landing shots on him for the last round and maybe two
:42:10. > :42:14.eye-catching shots, and all throughout it I was peppering him
:42:15. > :42:26.with shots, going through his guard, and it was just the odd shot. What
:42:27. > :42:30.is your opinion? We thought it was very tight, but the general
:42:31. > :42:34.consensus was that we thought you just nicked it. But that is the
:42:35. > :42:38.nature of the sport. Despite the verdict, how proud are you of the
:42:39. > :42:45.way you have performed? I give it my all. I got the training rate, many
:42:46. > :42:55.thanks to Fraser Clark, coming out and helping the spa -- sparring. I
:42:56. > :43:04.would not be as sharp without him. Obviously big Josh was a big help.
:43:05. > :43:09.Just disappointed. Silver medal is not that bad, but I wanted the gold
:43:10. > :43:15.medal and expected it. But it was not to be. You have been a gold
:43:16. > :43:17.medal performer for us. Thank you for providing such fantastic
:43:18. > :43:23.entertainment as well. Well done.
:43:24. > :43:28.STUDIO: he might be disappointed, but still a huge credit to Team GB.
:43:29. > :43:35.There is Joe Joyce collecting his silver medal a short while ago. That
:43:36. > :43:40.takes Britain's medal count to 67, the most successful Olympic Games
:43:41. > :43:48.that Britain have ever had. 27 gold medals, 23 silver medals and 17
:43:49. > :43:52.bronze medals. There is still one gold medal up for grabs. Who will
:43:53. > :43:58.take those final honours? It is looking good for the USA. Let us
:43:59. > :44:02.rejoin Serbia and the USA in the basketball gold medal match.
:44:03. > :44:15.Serbia has an up -- uphill battle. They ran away with the 2nd quarter
:44:16. > :44:25.and have opened up a 23 point lead. -- the USA ran away with it in the
:44:26. > :44:29.2nd quarter. It is currently 52-29. The simple message from the United
:44:30. > :44:33.States would have been to give the ball to Kevin Durant. And the simple
:44:34. > :44:38.message for Serbia is stop Kevin Durant. That is what is going on, he
:44:39. > :44:42.is completely leading the way. If the United States keep firing, he
:44:43. > :44:53.will bring it home. -- that is the message for Serbia.
:44:54. > :45:04.Kevin Durant hit five of eight from the 3-point line, and has 24 points
:45:05. > :45:06.in the first half. Serbia have to improve their shooting. Offensively
:45:07. > :45:17.things are going OK. DeMarcus Cousins had 11 points and
:45:18. > :45:24.12 rebounds for the Americans. Klay Thompson is the only person
:45:25. > :45:29.otherwise over four, with seven. Teodosic is the man for Serbia. He
:45:30. > :45:42.should have about ten assists by now, but they didn't finish it off.
:45:43. > :45:56.Raduljica has three fouls. Anthony hits a three. 55-29. Vladimir Stimac
:45:57. > :46:11.is the other big man. Andrei Jordan -- DeAndre Jordan is guarding him.
:46:12. > :46:15.Good pass to Djokovic. Vladimir Stimac had his back to it. I think
:46:16. > :46:21.he took his eye off the block, he only had about one second to go. He
:46:22. > :46:33.was really casual. Anthony and Durant. A fadeaway from about 22.
:46:34. > :46:40.Teodosic comes down with the ball. Bogdanovich, again he's looking to
:46:41. > :46:55.work. Jordan watching the cutters come Bogdanovich back into Stimac.
:46:56. > :47:00.Very casual, knocked it out of his hands. Right now, the Serbians are
:47:01. > :47:06.very confused. They're looking slow. They need to pick up the pace here.
:47:07. > :47:18.Only two on the clock, it will be a bastion of catch and shoot. Kyrie
:47:19. > :47:23.Irving was involved in a tie-up as they got down the ball. With a
:47:24. > :47:38.minute and a half gone, joke it comes out. -- Djokovic. Kalinic is
:47:39. > :47:43.on four personal fouls as well. Irving with the spin. Misses the
:47:44. > :47:54.shot. Jordan goes for rebound. Fights his way out. Quickly up to
:47:55. > :48:00.Markovic. Open look. He misses, and Irving misses. That was a little bit
:48:01. > :48:04.longer than used to. Stimac and Jordan getting tied up behind the
:48:05. > :48:15.ball, but no calls from the referees. Anthony, that was way off
:48:16. > :48:25.from the outside. Here comes Serbia. Teodosic hits. This is how you do
:48:26. > :48:28.it. Right now, if I was that coach, I would be saying I don't want
:48:29. > :48:32.dribbling displays or anyone to compete with Kevin Durant. I want
:48:33. > :48:37.you guys to keep playing basketball. Don't let them back in the game.
:48:38. > :48:42.That is a nice pass, Anthony can't finish. They all want to be the
:48:43. > :48:47.scorers, they all want to be the number one player. That club teams
:48:48. > :48:50.in the NBA, that is sometimes what they are. This is a different side.
:48:51. > :48:56.You have to share the responsibility. We saw Anthony
:48:57. > :49:12.fouling. Funnelling through the post with
:49:13. > :49:27.Stimac. This spin, the fall will be on Irving.
:49:28. > :49:37.Irving with the foul. Bogdanovic had an easy jumper. Stimac's shot was
:49:38. > :49:44.blocked by Thompson. Durant, varies but unintentional intentional full
:49:45. > :49:48.to stop Durant going all the way to the hoop by himself. That is the
:49:49. > :49:52.race there go to the United States. They are happy to foul them to stop
:49:53. > :49:56.them going all the way when the United States have the ball. It is
:49:57. > :50:02.only the third personal foul for Teodosic. Watching him pass up a ten
:50:03. > :50:06.foot jumper, you get the feeling they are feeling very tight. They
:50:07. > :50:15.haven't been making the open shots either. Klay Thompson drives. He
:50:16. > :50:19.goes to the hoop with the left-handed lay-up and puts it in.
:50:20. > :50:23.Serbia is certainly having to contend with the three. By coming
:50:24. > :50:28.out further and opening up space underneath. Markovic drove to the
:50:29. > :50:33.left because Jordan was standing there. Teodosic with the fade away
:50:34. > :50:38.misses. It comes off to a Irving and Irving brings it a crosscourt to
:50:39. > :50:44.Durant you got rid of it quickly. Klay Thompson's shot is off. Anthony
:50:45. > :50:57.can't get it to drop. Stimac with the rebound. Slowing down, the
:50:58. > :51:03.movement is not as crisp as it was earlier in the game. It has all gone
:51:04. > :51:06.for Teodosic as well. He is trying to do everything. He is the focal
:51:07. > :51:21.point of the offence but he needs movement around him. That is four on
:51:22. > :51:26.Kyrie Irving. He started well, but he's gone off the pace a bit in the
:51:27. > :51:29.last few games. Kyrie Irving hasn't had the impact. That's because he's
:51:30. > :51:35.got to allow the players to have a leading role. If I'm Serbia, I want
:51:36. > :51:42.to put the ball in Bogdanovic's hands, try to get him some shots. It
:51:43. > :51:46.is confidence building for Serbia just to get the baskets because they
:51:47. > :51:52.weren't shooting well in the first half. Irving, and Bogdanovic is
:51:53. > :51:59.following up on him. Here it is to Jordan. This is the kind of thing,
:52:00. > :52:02.great movement before Thompson missing a three. But if they keep
:52:03. > :52:11.playing like that they're pretty much unstoppable because the players
:52:12. > :52:21.are so good individually. Raduljica is back in the game now. Durant
:52:22. > :52:27.pulls back and banks begin off the glass. 61-35 halfway through the 3rd
:52:28. > :52:30.quarter. Serbia had a massive 3rd quarter against the United States in
:52:31. > :52:36.the group stage, but they need to get a lower margin. At the moment
:52:37. > :52:42.it's just too far at this point. Markovic misses the hook shot.
:52:43. > :52:50.Jordan to Lowry, loudly to Durant. Durant to Thompson. The United
:52:51. > :52:56.States are in their stride now, though full of confidence. Their
:52:57. > :53:09.passing, moving. The Serbian defence intensity has dropped remarkably.
:53:10. > :53:16.Serbia have called the time-out. The leaders 29 points. The US is up.
:53:17. > :53:39.What a contrast to the bronze medal game. They're just getting tied to
:53:40. > :53:42.what has been the end of a really long campaign. United States
:53:43. > :53:53.victory. Nothing gets too tired quicker than watching another team.
:53:54. > :54:06.A lot of people are looking at home saying, if DeAndre Jordan can do
:54:07. > :54:09.that, why can't I? If I wear the US volleyball coach I would be going to
:54:10. > :54:11.Jordan and failing, I think you have a future in this sport! -- and
:54:12. > :54:26.sailing. I think he's done well. Some changes in the line-up for
:54:27. > :54:34.Serbia, trying to ignite some offence. 64-37. A clever play by
:54:35. > :54:41.Nedovic, that is what Serbia need more of. Lowry is overplayed, he
:54:42. > :54:53.gets the past to Durant. It is nice plain Nedovic because you
:54:54. > :54:57.know Jordan is coming out so you have to put the extra arc on the
:54:58. > :55:02.ball. He takes these can fit and drops it through the hoop. It is
:55:03. > :55:08.deflating for Jordan who things, yes, I've got! But, you don't.
:55:09. > :55:15.Serbia are working world defensively again. Cousins, who offensive
:55:16. > :55:18.contribution has been big, looks more impressive but it takes away
:55:19. > :55:24.the intimidating effect that Jordan has when he's in the paint and
:55:25. > :55:28.defence. He was so important with that win over Spain. He really made
:55:29. > :55:36.a difference for the United States. Durant makes both shots. He has been
:55:37. > :55:50.unbelievable. Not even through the 3rd quarter yet. Thought about the
:55:51. > :55:55.shot, now drives, Macvan. He could almost see that one coming and the
:55:56. > :56:06.four would be on Bogdanovic. -- the foul would be on Spanovic. -- on
:56:07. > :56:09.Bogdanovic. They did some work on the way, Serbia have operated the
:56:10. > :56:19.offence and been able to take advantage of it. Not as much
:56:20. > :56:27.frustration from the United States as their first meeting. The 30 point
:56:28. > :56:31.lead will help! It will lower by frustration considerably. Less than
:56:32. > :56:42.four minutes to play in the 3rd quarter. The US is by 29. Lowry, he
:56:43. > :56:46.once Cousins to set the high. He gives it back to Cousins who goes
:56:47. > :56:53.back to ward the hoop. Kick it back out, there is the open corner.
:56:54. > :57:03.Simonovic not even attempting to stop that. It's too far out.
:57:04. > :57:09.Bogdanovic to Raduljica. Bogdanovic managing to keep it alive. There is
:57:10. > :57:12.still ten on the shot clock. The Serbian defensive intensity needs to
:57:13. > :57:16.be at its height right now. They need to get back into this game. It
:57:17. > :57:23.is the US that seemed to have upped their defensive intensity. When
:57:24. > :57:28.Anthony fouls Nedovic, you see he's got to protect the inside.
:57:29. > :57:32.Bogdanovic, the three does not go. Cousins will sit down and Lowry
:57:33. > :57:38.brings it up. A long passed on court to Anthony. Bogdanovic sleeping. I
:57:39. > :57:43.think he enjoys being on the bench more. I think he enjoys being on
:57:44. > :57:49.camera more! Unless he's really unaware. He knows the director is
:57:50. > :57:58.going to be following him. Nice pass. Good luck. Raduljica, he faced
:57:59. > :58:07.one time too many, then went and turned it in any way. The Serbian
:58:08. > :58:20.sisters sitting there in bewilderment. There is a steal.
:58:21. > :58:23.Serbia for to the very end in the group games. Here are just looks
:58:24. > :58:33.like it's getting away from them. That's a technical. Anthony simply
:58:34. > :58:39.called the ball and then laid it in. But he bounced it off his head to
:58:40. > :58:42.what the sideline. I guess he wouldn't get away with that. An
:58:43. > :58:50.interesting way of passing the ball to your opponent. The United States
:58:51. > :58:55.have come out in the 3rd quarter exactly the way they played in the
:58:56. > :58:59.second. Serbia are not even as good. They dropped the intensity. And
:59:00. > :59:05.they're shooting hasn't improved. It was about 30%. It's improved a
:59:06. > :59:16.little bit. They are free from 19. They just cannot keep up. -- they
:59:17. > :59:24.are three from 19. It's got to be something after Anthony. The players
:59:25. > :59:27.are aware. If you've seen any game of Olympic basketball up to here,
:59:28. > :59:33.you understand. As soon as you say something. Here is what we didn't
:59:34. > :59:40.see. If you do that, you get the key automatically. He's going to get the
:59:41. > :59:50.ball. Anthony, as I said, it went off his forehead. Kalinic, only
:59:51. > :59:59.yourself to blame. He got four personal fouls very quickly. We saw
:00:00. > :00:07.earlier lying on the floor, wanted a foul, didn't get it, so he literally
:00:08. > :00:11.spun around on the floor. We have seen one other. This was the third
:00:12. > :00:14.one. That pass was deflected away, it now comes Dan Jovic and he is
:00:15. > :00:32.fouled by Jimmy Butler first. This is frustrating for him. He came
:00:33. > :00:43.out playing well, exactly what you wanted him to do. Execution has been
:00:44. > :00:46.poor. The plan would like it was working earlier, if they had kept
:00:47. > :00:50.doing it and exiting it, it would have an close macro cousins knocked
:00:51. > :01:13.out of. -- executing it, it would have kept
:01:14. > :01:33.going. Nedovic could not take it the rest
:01:34. > :01:40.of the way. That went off a US fit. The ball stays with Serbia. What do
:01:41. > :01:44.they do? Try to isolate Kevin Durant from the ball? Switch to the zone
:01:45. > :01:46.that he will shoot over? Girl-macro whatever you do there is another
:01:47. > :01:51.problem created. That is the problem when you have a player of that
:01:52. > :01:55.calibre, he takes the game and controls it. You have got to just
:01:56. > :02:03.accept it and try to do the best you can. What we have seen is that
:02:04. > :02:16.they're outside shooting was not effective. If you try to adjust,
:02:17. > :02:17.something else will hurt. Exactly. He has been sensational win this
:02:18. > :02:34.game, Kevin Durant. The shooting has just not been good
:02:35. > :02:38.enough, without Kevin Durant it would still be the United States
:02:39. > :02:43.winning this game. The US defence has broken up the passing game, stop
:02:44. > :02:46.the red that Serbia had against Australia, where they were knocking
:02:47. > :02:50.down shots, but they were doing it because they were always passing it
:02:51. > :02:54.and getting good open shots. Even when they have been getting them,
:02:55. > :03:09.they missed them. Cousins will not miss that. Some crowd pleaser is!
:03:10. > :03:18.That will be a Serbian ball. You wonder how much is a confidence
:03:19. > :03:22.thing with the shooting. When you start missing two, three, four in a
:03:23. > :03:26.row, you're lacking confidence and then taking shots when you're not
:03:27. > :03:35.ready, and all these factors come into it. It is really tough. Talk
:03:36. > :03:38.about destroying confidence. Kevin Durant, his first three of the half,
:03:39. > :03:46.his second! And he misses both. And again it doesn't fall. Nedovic
:03:47. > :04:12.took it from end to end. That was the whistle. Kevin Durant
:04:13. > :04:21.trying to get a shot. Ashya King global. The coach has still not
:04:22. > :04:29.smiled. If they win, hopefully he will smile. It has been a great
:04:30. > :04:32.achievement, what they have done. He wants a time-out. He is considering
:04:33. > :04:46.what they do for the rest of the game. This is more important for
:04:47. > :04:50.Serbia. He needs to rile them up for the quarter. Did not look at the
:04:51. > :04:51.score, let us just do what we came here to do, the shots will start
:04:52. > :05:25.coming, and believe in yourself. He is the biggest motivator in the
:05:26. > :05:36.team, I think! They have had more dunks in this
:05:37. > :05:47.game than any previous United States team. That demonstrates the control
:05:48. > :05:51.they have over this. Sparked by the individual performance of Kevin
:05:52. > :06:01.Durant. Serbia has to play well, and the United States have to play less
:06:02. > :06:30.than their best. Serbia needed the perfect game, and it did not come.
:06:31. > :06:39.Serbia are working for more or less the last shot. They did not take it.
:06:40. > :06:46.I do not know what that was. It went off the backboard. Kyle Lowry wanted
:06:47. > :06:53.the three, but missed it. That was after the buzzer. Kevin Durant is
:06:54. > :07:13.laughing because he got it in! The clock is at zero. It was not
:07:14. > :07:19.far-off. STUDIO: this is meant to be a USA
:07:20. > :07:23.that are understrength, but it is looking good for them to secure the
:07:24. > :07:25.final medal of the Olympics. 11 gold medals have been handed out today.
:07:26. > :07:47.Let us bring you up to date. Kenya's Kipchoge has won the
:07:48. > :08:01.marathon, with Callum Hawkins coming 19th. Nino Schurter won the gold
:08:02. > :08:09.medal in the men's cross-country biking. George S fell just short --
:08:10. > :08:13.Joe Joyce Felder short of winning a gold medal against Tony Yoka, but
:08:14. > :08:21.the judges gave the Frenchman the division. Joyce goes home with
:08:22. > :08:32.silver. And the huge underdogs Denmark upset the odds to win the
:08:33. > :08:36.men's handball gold, and stop France getting their third successive
:08:37. > :08:41.title. This is the first medal for Denmark for the men's handball.
:08:42. > :08:46.There is one gold medal up for grabs. The USA have not been
:08:47. > :08:50.defeated since 2006. They are looking for the
:08:51. > :09:11.Serbia keep possession with 16 seconds on the shot clock. Serbia
:09:12. > :09:16.just have to keep going, not worry about this quarter. Just keep
:09:17. > :09:17.playing and do as well as you can. They have played brilliantly until
:09:18. > :09:27.this point. The position area was in the favour
:09:28. > :09:47.of the United States. -- possession. Desperation from Serbia, but it is
:09:48. > :09:57.great to see that they are fighting to the end. They need a miracle. It
:09:58. > :10:00.would. You need the United States to fall completely apart. And hitting
:10:01. > :10:06.all your shots. Cousins is back out for the last
:10:07. > :10:18.quarter. Kevin Durant misses the 3-point
:10:19. > :10:47.touch, and the US missed another. Jordan is doing the Babybird again!
:10:48. > :10:48.That is the third time. He did not realise there would be so many to do
:10:49. > :11:15.it with. Jordan telling them what he wants.
:11:16. > :11:20.Kevin Durant is coming off and celebrating with his team because he
:11:21. > :11:20.knows they are close now. A remarkable performance, Kevin
:11:21. > :11:32.Durant. George wanted this badly. The United States want to put on a
:11:33. > :11:48.show for the final quarter. He's an extraordinary player. They
:11:49. > :11:50.are just not finishing it off. I wonder how many assists he would
:11:51. > :12:25.have had if they had the shots. When it rains, it pours. And right
:12:26. > :12:33.now it is a typhoon, monsoon for Serbia. Cyclone hurricane in other
:12:34. > :12:41.areas. Teodosic has had a great Olympics. I would make him the point
:12:42. > :12:44.guard in my Olympic team. He has been magnificent for Serbia. It has
:12:45. > :12:49.been great to watch him play at this level. Not everyone gets to see him
:12:50. > :12:58.playing all the time in his league. And this man as well. I would have
:12:59. > :13:02.Pau Gasol centre. And the Argentinian at the power forward.
:13:03. > :13:04.The only question would be through the shooting guard would be. There
:13:05. > :13:24.are a lot of contenders. Bogdanovich was standing around. The
:13:25. > :13:31.other Bogdanovic might be a contender. Consistency is hard at
:13:32. > :13:35.the Olympic Games. It is tough, playing every couple of days, at
:13:36. > :13:37.high level with intensity. Even Kevin Durant had a couple of off
:13:38. > :13:57.days. It is tough. That is true. One of the Lithuanian players. Yes,
:13:58. > :14:04.they started so strongly. And the point guard from Argentina.
:14:05. > :14:11.Almost 40 point lead for the United States. DeMarcus Cousins has come
:14:12. > :14:24.off. It is one of those games where you
:14:25. > :14:26.get a player hitting the basket, and then the one who passed him the ball
:14:27. > :14:51.gets this herbal. -- the foul. The US has gone very cold now. Lowry
:14:52. > :14:55.misses. I think the thing is Serbia haven't really improved their
:14:56. > :15:05.shooting since that quarter, so they can afford to go cold. That hit the
:15:06. > :15:15.umpire. Another soft floater. Less than seven minutes to go. 84-47 to
:15:16. > :15:27.the US. One of the great mysteries the US is how Draymond Green hasn't
:15:28. > :15:32.came out, he's still out there now. It is Green who is such a big part
:15:33. > :15:39.of the Golden State Warriors this last season, he has not got close.
:15:40. > :15:46.To play with Klay Thompson as one would have made a lot of sense from
:15:47. > :15:53.18 perspective. -- from a team perspective. We still haven't seen
:15:54. > :15:57.Barnes as well. He has had very limited time here. You suspect he
:15:58. > :16:01.will come on towards the end. You hope everybody gets a chance in a
:16:02. > :16:06.game like this. It's gotten a bit sloppy, as you can tell from the
:16:07. > :16:09.common Terry! We have got a bit more relaxed as well. It is not edge of
:16:10. > :16:16.your seat stuff, it is really showtime. It's almost like Serbia
:16:17. > :16:20.are just running out the clock. The US are trying to put up as many
:16:21. > :16:23.points as they can. Or as spectacularly as they can. DeRozan
:16:24. > :16:43.with the nice jumper. Lowry takes the rebound. Lowry
:16:44. > :16:47.coming down the middle. There is the hoop the crowd wanted. DeRozan did
:16:48. > :16:52.it with the left hand! Just tapped it in. I think they're just excited
:16:53. > :16:59.DeAndre Jordan got to do another move. It wasn't even that good
:17:00. > :17:06.though! The benchers going crazy. There's the finish. It looks like
:17:07. > :17:11.Jordan paid for his ticket to watch the game. He's acting like a fan!
:17:12. > :17:15.It's great to see, he adding plenty of entertainment from the bench.
:17:16. > :17:20.Look how excited the coaches are on the bench. This is the question now
:17:21. > :17:24.for the United States, moving forward, it looks like they will
:17:25. > :17:30.hold on here. The Serbian coach is still trying to rally his team which
:17:31. > :17:34.is great to see. For the United States, it is moving forward. I
:17:35. > :17:40.think they have a great coach coming in. Antonio Spurs, a brilliant
:17:41. > :17:44.basketball mind. How does he change this team? They haven't dominated,
:17:45. > :17:48.even though the dominating in the gold-medal match, they haven't been
:17:49. > :17:55.as dominant as people would expect. My point would be that they didn't
:17:56. > :18:00.play great defence for most. This has been their best defensive game
:18:01. > :18:08.by far. When the goal was tight, they were disrupting passing rights.
:18:09. > :18:12.Often in many games it has consisted of people standing around watching
:18:13. > :18:15.people shoot threes. They haven't been the excellent 3-point shooting
:18:16. > :18:21.team that they were supposed to be. No one has really been a consistent
:18:22. > :18:28.driller of 3-point shots. Those are the things they will try to work on.
:18:29. > :18:33.Think about it, the presence inside has been good from Jordan and
:18:34. > :18:39.Cousins. But do you try to go with a true power forward, for example? Do
:18:40. > :18:43.you try to go with two Biggs? What do you count on the fact that teams
:18:44. > :18:47.that have two talented big men like Serbia aren't going to put them both
:18:48. > :18:54.out at the same time if one has to defend Carmelo Anthony or Kevin
:18:55. > :18:58.Durant away from the basket. Serbia have shown that if you work as a
:18:59. > :19:02.group, their players are national superstars, but they have shown that
:19:03. > :19:06.if you work as the group, if you have a good setup and have prepared
:19:07. > :19:11.well with good coaching and some smart players, you can take it far.
:19:12. > :19:14.They haven't done it in this one, but they certainly took the United
:19:15. > :19:17.States all the way in the group stages. If more teams start playing
:19:18. > :19:21.like that then they will really push the United States. It is not the
:19:22. > :19:27.dominant basketball force that this game is barely showing. What we also
:19:28. > :19:35.need to remember is that in the basketball countries, the former
:19:36. > :19:41.Yugoslav countries, Spain, Argentina and to a lesser extent Brazil,
:19:42. > :19:47.Greece and Turkey, the players tend to come along in groups that go up
:19:48. > :19:52.and play together. They make each other better. Because they're mostly
:19:53. > :19:57.small countries, they can't depend on having a steady influx of top
:19:58. > :20:01.talent. They really have to develop it. Each generation takes time to
:20:02. > :20:05.develop. We have seen in the case of Argentina and Spain that that
:20:06. > :20:11.generation is reaching the end of its run. Serbia and Croatia have
:20:12. > :20:16.shown they have a generation coming through. Croatia has a young team.
:20:17. > :20:24.Serbia is not that old. France still have some good players. Simonovic
:20:25. > :20:31.didn't see that! He should have looked at the screens. He was behind
:20:32. > :20:35.a pass he was not even aware of! Serbia started well. It is tough for
:20:36. > :20:39.them now, coming towards the end of this. They put up a good show at the
:20:40. > :20:44.Olympic Games. That game against Australia was just extraordinary.
:20:45. > :20:47.Maybe if they played like that the whole way against the United States,
:20:48. > :20:52.they would have pushed them. And take nothing away from Serbia. They
:20:53. > :20:54.were silver medallists at the last World Championships. They will be
:20:55. > :21:00.silver medallist here at the Olympics. Semifinals of the Euro
:21:01. > :21:08.basket. There was a lull for Serbia after a few years after Yugoslavia
:21:09. > :21:15.made the final at the previous Olympics. But they are back on the
:21:16. > :21:19.Olympic theme. Bogdanovic can't make the opening three. This has been the
:21:20. > :21:22.story of the game, even when they have had the opening shots Serbia
:21:23. > :21:27.haven't been able to take advantage of it. This has got to be one of the
:21:28. > :21:32.lowest scoring fourth quarters. The intensity level has fallen
:21:33. > :21:36.considerably for both teams. That is the coach of the tournament, no
:21:37. > :21:41.doubt. He has been brilliant. His game plans have been fantastic. It
:21:42. > :21:44.was tough going for Serbia in their group stage. They dropped a couple
:21:45. > :21:53.of games and they have done remarkably well to pick themselves
:21:54. > :21:56.up. Macvan has had a good tournament. They brought him in when
:21:57. > :22:12.they needed shooting and he has had a good work.
:22:13. > :22:21.Djokovic. The Denver player has been virtually invisible in this contest.
:22:22. > :22:31.Bogdan Bogdanovic with the basket. -- Jokic, the Denver player. This is
:22:32. > :22:41.Bogdanovic with the rebound. He loses it. Arms out for the US.
:22:42. > :22:46.Barnes came up with the ball. Gets it back. A good pass by Barnes,
:22:47. > :22:52.easily put back by Green. Former team-mates. See what happens when
:22:53. > :22:57.two players are on the same team? What was it, and hour ago?
:22:58. > :23:05.Bogdanovic didn't shoot that one. Nice pass by Nicola Jovic -- by
:23:06. > :23:11.Stephane Jovic. 51-90, three minutes to play. Some of their movements
:23:12. > :23:16.have been spectacular, Serbia. As a team they have been fantastic.
:23:17. > :23:18.They've worked really hard to gather and they even outscored United
:23:19. > :23:25.States from the bench coming into this one. That one thrown away by
:23:26. > :23:30.Bogdanovic. Bogdanovic picks it up and there will be a foul and Lowry.
:23:31. > :23:35.The Serbian bench were really impressed, great stuff from Bogdan
:23:36. > :23:39.Bogdanovic. He's a natural player. He's only 24, but he needs more
:23:40. > :23:44.consistency. He's not the kind of guy who is carrying this team. He
:23:45. > :23:50.had sometime in the NBA. It didn't work out for him. NBA teams would be
:23:51. > :23:57.looking again in the future. I think he was 27th overall. From Phoenix,
:23:58. > :24:09.and played in Sacramento. He has got the potential there. Two from 11
:24:10. > :24:14.from the floor. That really shows you the trouble that Dubya have had.
:24:15. > :24:23.He and Jokic averaged almost 18 points a game. -- the trouble that
:24:24. > :24:39.Serbia have had. They have done really well against Croatia as well.
:24:40. > :24:50.There is a three from Nedovic. Teodosic is only 29. Many other
:24:51. > :24:59.members are still only in their 20s. They will be back in later contests.
:25:00. > :25:09.The rebound to Anthony. 15 is his number, apparently. But he can't
:25:10. > :25:16.wear it on the New York Knicks because they retired it in honour of
:25:17. > :25:22.the Black Moses. You can't argue with that. I think he will have to
:25:23. > :25:34.pick a different number. There comes Carmelo Anthony. He was on that team
:25:35. > :25:38.that lost in Athens in 2004. The only player on the US team who was
:25:39. > :25:46.there. Who's to say he would be back again? It's possible. He wants to
:25:47. > :25:50.get a record. He had a bronze in 2004. A gold in 2012. This will be
:25:51. > :26:16.his third gold medal here today. That's a tough shot! DeRozan with
:26:17. > :26:20.the falling away jumper. Nedovic has come alive now in the last few
:26:21. > :26:24.minutes. He's a talented young player. Like you're saying, there is
:26:25. > :26:29.a lot of good young players on this team. Anthony, the overhead for the
:26:30. > :26:39.United States. A couple of years ago I think Markovic was playing for the
:26:40. > :26:44.Warriors. Just making the jump from European basketball to the NBA,
:26:45. > :26:48.sometimes it seems a bit different. Sometimes they're missing something.
:26:49. > :26:51.The technical quality is fantastic. Maybe a physical element to their
:26:52. > :26:56.game is what they're looking for in the NBA. But their matching it in a
:26:57. > :27:03.number of occasions. This just isn't one of those occasions. You also
:27:04. > :27:07.have cultural differences. You can make a lot of money playing European
:27:08. > :27:12.basketball. Sometimes the culture is just more suited. The last minute
:27:13. > :27:31.now. 94-64. Harrison Barnes with the left-hand.
:27:32. > :27:57.96-64. Followers and Jimmy Butler. The guys
:27:58. > :28:01.are getting looser and looser! They're having a great time now, the
:28:02. > :28:07.United States. The gold medal is pretty much all wrapped up now. But
:28:08. > :28:12.Serbia should still be proud. They've really been fantastic. I
:28:13. > :28:15.don't think anyone expected it. The team to face the United States in
:28:16. > :28:18.the gold-medal game, I don't think Serbia were really amongst the
:28:19. > :28:23.favourites even though they went to the World Championships with them in
:28:24. > :28:26.2014. Your absolutely right. The Serbian win over Australia was not a
:28:27. > :28:30.huge upset, it was one of the surprises of these games. One reason
:28:31. > :28:37.is that many of these players aren't as well known. Australia have six
:28:38. > :28:41.players in the NBA. Serbia, as a unit, they'd been fantastic and
:28:42. > :28:46.shown what it means to work as a team and basketball. Just letting
:28:47. > :28:56.the clock ran down. The Serbians aren't going to defend. The US would
:28:57. > :29:06.turn it over on the shot clock. And that will bring the game to an end.
:29:07. > :29:13.It will bring the game to the 31st -- it will bring the XXXI Olympiad
:29:14. > :29:20.to a sporting close. Serbia Ali the United States have beaten Serbia.
:29:21. > :29:26.STUDIO: a commanding performance from the US claiming their 15th
:29:27. > :29:29.Olympic basketball title. Heading into the Olympics there was
:29:30. > :29:33.criticism that they were bringing a lesser team. A lot of the big NBA
:29:34. > :29:35.stars pulled out through fatigue and injury. In the end it didn't really
:29:36. > :29:45.matter, did it? After the football gold, the one at
:29:46. > :29:49.the top of the Brazilian 's most wanted was the men's volleyball.
:29:50. > :29:56.Last night we saw the Arena sold out. Today we saw the little
:29:57. > :30:01.Maracana, it was passed up for Brazil to take on Italy. -- it was
:30:02. > :30:25.packed for Brazil to take on Italy. Mild-mannered Souza was letting rip.
:30:26. > :30:50.Here is trouble for Italy. It is the wrong side of the net.
:30:51. > :31:01.Brazil take the point. It didn't get through. And I set before they can
:31:02. > :31:08.close your hands towards the net. When I saw that from Souza, it came
:31:09. > :31:14.to mind the Brazilian player who could hit the ball like that every
:31:15. > :31:31.time. If you can keep doing that, there will be real trouble for
:31:32. > :31:36.Italy. A standing start. The onslaught is relenting. That one pin
:31:37. > :32:05.bowling around. He had a little discussion with his
:32:06. > :32:09.coach. He wants every ball right now. Here's a man with a plan,
:32:10. > :32:15.wanting to make sure he gets a gold medal. He has spent his life working
:32:16. > :32:21.towards this moment and he wants to make sure that he takes it. If he
:32:22. > :32:26.does not, he has given it every single thing he can to try to
:32:27. > :32:38.achieve it. The do not leave anything in the locker room. 10-9.
:32:39. > :32:45.That is what the coaches wanting. If they can re-establish the medals, it
:32:46. > :33:03.becomes an interesting battle between them.
:33:04. > :33:07.That looked as if it was heading over the net, but he was ready and
:33:08. > :33:13.waiting. Anything Italy can do, Brazil will respond. And if you run
:33:14. > :33:16.a medal against you, you will run it back against the other team. You
:33:17. > :33:23.want to keep the pressure on both sides. You start edging out, but you
:33:24. > :33:25.can't, you have to stay so you're ready and waiting. So you know that
:33:26. > :34:06.you have one-on-one. Juantorena delivered. Yes, that is a
:34:07. > :34:09.dead. He was putting it into an area. He couldn't believe it did not
:34:10. > :34:31.come back up. Throwing themselves at everything.
:34:32. > :34:40.Zaytsev tried again, and the only people cheering at the Brazilian
:34:41. > :34:49.supporters. Brazil are keeping hold of this lead.
:34:50. > :35:07.Yes, and guess who has done it? This is a once more. He once almost broke
:35:08. > :35:09.the ball, and this when he realised. -- de Souza. No one was able to
:35:10. > :35:53.cover. Until eight days ago, Brazil had
:35:54. > :35:59.never beaten Italy. When it counts, this is the gold medal match. Italy
:36:00. > :36:04.have never won the gold medal, Brazil are asserting themselves once
:36:05. > :36:12.more. What a server! But it is still in play. He missed. That is the
:36:13. > :36:19.first mistake by de Souza in almost 2.5 sets. Played to the whistle. You
:36:20. > :36:27.do not play to what you think you have seen. That was cracking. It pin
:36:28. > :36:34.balled around the Italian team, but everyone linked in, and it dug back
:36:35. > :36:41.over. Has that caught the hero of the player as it went past? If so,
:36:42. > :36:47.it is a touch. It does not count. If you're here touches the net, it is
:36:48. > :36:51.not a touch. It did not touch anything or anyone, except the
:36:52. > :37:12.outside of the court. So Italy have the point.
:37:13. > :37:28.That got a little bit tight. The double combination of de Souza gave
:37:29. > :37:34.them no room. That is frustrating. You can understand it if it is a
:37:35. > :37:49.jump serve, the way they are hitting the ball. But when it is jump flight
:37:50. > :37:58.serve, but doesn't Gwen. -- go in. The perfect way to make up for it.
:37:59. > :38:00.Lanza knew he made a mistake. But they are back in the game, and his
:38:01. > :38:34.missed serve is forgotten. Brazil are using their 5-5 serve.
:38:35. > :38:41.Brazil are siding out without any issues. Change here for Brazil.
:38:42. > :38:52.Mauricio has been the starting outside hitter in the tournament.
:38:53. > :38:55.Lucarelli is suffering with injury. He's probably going to be seen by
:38:56. > :39:01.the physio. He's just having a rest at the moment. Mauricio will serve.
:39:02. > :39:38.The five position is in the bottom left of the backcourt.
:39:39. > :39:43.That was a legal touch. Italy just ahead and getting serve. Not so
:39:44. > :40:28.fast. Let us have a time-out. For the Brazilian team -- four of
:40:29. > :40:41.the Brazilian team have been in the Olympics before. Bruno Rezende E,
:40:42. > :40:47.Wallace de Souza, Lucas Saatkamp. This is in front of the home crowd.
:40:48. > :41:00.Another mighty block. He was ready, Ivan Zaytsev. Making
:41:01. > :41:24.sure he did not get the ball over. That is a big achievement from
:41:25. > :41:32.Simone Giannelli. Long, no touch. There are issues here for Osmany
:41:33. > :41:35.Juantorena. The call went against Brazil for Wallace coming through.
:41:36. > :41:42.It may have been his hand that smashed onto Osmany Juantorena. It
:41:43. > :41:50.is. Wallace has come through and has dragged Osmany Juantorena's hand
:41:51. > :41:54.onto the net. He is a person who has touched the net here. -- the person.
:41:55. > :42:00.I am interested to see whether there is a challenge. In fact, what has
:42:01. > :42:06.happened as he has been pulled onto the net by Wallace. Italy have the
:42:07. > :42:23.point, much to the frustration of the coach. Challenge. He has just
:42:24. > :42:30.reversed it! Emanuele Birarelli quite rightly saying that he drags
:42:31. > :42:37.him onto the net, but was -- Osmany Juantorena touched the net.
:42:38. > :42:45.That went completely wrong. Trying to make a negative set into the
:42:46. > :42:48.middle, which meant Simone Giannelli had to hold the ball and fire it
:42:49. > :42:56.out. He did not send it out quickly enough. How much of momentum switch
:42:57. > :43:02.is this? 17-17, but are moving clear. They have to go once more.
:43:03. > :43:04.Brazil know that if they take the set it is all over. They have a gold
:43:05. > :43:26.medal. That is a quality hit from Ivan
:43:27. > :43:32.Zaytsev. He finds a gap between Wallace and Lucas and exploits it.
:43:33. > :43:39.Sometimes you go for power rather than a tip over. Frustration is
:43:40. > :43:47.building among the Italian team. Brazil have not let them hit top
:43:48. > :43:53.form. 18-18. Huge quotations from Wallace. Right-to-left as he hits
:43:54. > :43:58.the ball. When he lands he pretty much has his back side to the net,
:43:59. > :44:18.such is his rotation, which is why he is so good at hitting.
:44:19. > :44:31.Port of -- whatever the feelings, they have to regroup, which is what
:44:32. > :44:59.they are doing. Came out. -- time-out.
:45:00. > :45:09.Well, that is it. No more time out. The players may get the chance to
:45:10. > :45:13.talk to him again if Brazil go for a time-out. The not quite on their
:45:14. > :45:17.own, because he can still offer instructions. But the crowd believe
:45:18. > :45:22.that the momentum and force is with Brazil. They will be celebrating
:45:23. > :45:27.shortly an Olympic gold medal for the home nation. They need six more
:45:28. > :45:43.points. Not so fast, 19-19. Not quite up to
:45:44. > :45:47.gain speed as Lanza crashes that one through the block. A little late to
:45:48. > :46:04.react. Great swing from the leap Ping Lanza. -- from Filippo Lanza.
:46:05. > :46:11.Now, then. Wallace arrives and unload inside the court. They're up
:46:12. > :46:25.to 20. Wallace gives this an absolute spanking. But it's all the
:46:26. > :46:27.intent. Wallace and Souza, they have come out with a plan and they are
:46:28. > :46:39.delivering. The fans are screaming his name as
:46:40. > :46:45.he lined up to serve that one. An extra adrenaline surge will stop
:46:46. > :46:49.Italy pretty much hanging on. The team which set the tournament alive
:46:50. > :46:58.in the opening match crushing the European champions 3-0. A fantastic
:46:59. > :47:02.performance. When Ivan Zaytsev doesn't fire properly, Italy have
:47:03. > :47:07.problems. If their coach had said to the guys at the time, we need to
:47:08. > :47:11.risk this, we need to be brave and serve and receive and they need to
:47:12. > :47:22.get their middle running, but at the moment it Brazil who are making all
:47:23. > :47:31.the running. Nice arrival. Yes, the hand hurt from Wallace a few moments
:47:32. > :47:34.ago, but take it out on the ball. STUDIO: they were trying to get
:47:35. > :47:42.towards Juantorena, but they had to watch what Buti was doing. Rossini
:47:43. > :47:49.is in for Lanza. Serving, passing defending from him. Oh, the captain,
:47:50. > :47:53.first run of the match and he makes it look as if it's the most natural
:47:54. > :47:58.thing in the world. If you were waiting for the set, take that! A
:47:59. > :48:02.lack of discipline for Italy, but late on in the match that is
:48:03. > :48:07.something you can expect to happen. You have got to key in on the
:48:08. > :48:16.setup's touch. Then the tempo, then the ball wide. They didn't do their
:48:17. > :48:20.first job. That is long. Neymar thinks it wasn't a touch. Italy
:48:21. > :48:24.thinks it was a touch. We are going to have a challenge and we will find
:48:25. > :48:34.out whether there was a touch. Because if there was it is 22-22. If
:48:35. > :48:39.there was... Massive touch. The challenge will be successful and it
:48:40. > :48:47.will be 22-22. It is still very much game on and Italy is still very much
:48:48. > :48:52.in this. Who's going to blink? In the last two sets, Brazil just held
:48:53. > :48:58.firm and Italy subsided. Now, what are moment for Oleg Antonov. His
:48:59. > :49:05.first Olympic Games. This means to be an absolute crowd pleaser. First
:49:06. > :49:12.and foremost, he needs to make Brazil play this ball. He has. But
:49:13. > :49:23.the problem is that Wallace is coming for him. And Wallace has done
:49:24. > :49:27.what he wanted. 23-22. Two more points and they will be Olympic
:49:28. > :49:31.champions for the third time. What a swing that is from Wallace.
:49:32. > :49:42.Underlying his commitment to the cause and his desire to win this
:49:43. > :49:44.match and get a gold medal. Trying to be heard. It is a cacophony of
:49:45. > :49:59.sound here. Brazil closing in. Italy desperate
:50:00. > :50:13.to get this back. Massimo Colaci digs. They claimed there was a
:50:14. > :50:22.touch. The referee agrees. 23-23. Birarelli was there wanting the
:50:23. > :50:33.ball. The sites that have saved his blushes, that is for sure. What a
:50:34. > :50:39.job, and Wallace, off the block has match for Brazil will stop they've
:50:40. > :50:42.been here before. Four years ago they had match point twice. Couldn't
:50:43. > :50:48.take it twice. They know they need to do this now because it is a two
:50:49. > :50:52.point game again and that means finding out for the set of finding
:50:53. > :50:59.out for the match. Their fourth consecutive final. Gold in 2004, two
:51:00. > :51:08.success of silvers. Is it going to be gold in 2016? By itself goes and
:51:09. > :51:13.they save match point. 24-24. Calm under pressure from Zeit said. Get
:51:14. > :51:17.it off the block in a way. Now it is a two point set. -- calm under
:51:18. > :51:32.pressure from my van Zaytsev. It's a good one, but Brazil still
:51:33. > :51:38.have it in play. Off the block, Lucas! The veteran from 2012 has
:51:39. > :51:41.teed up their second match point. Brazil are going to have to do it
:51:42. > :51:46.the hard way. They are going to have to redo it from service. We are back
:51:47. > :51:50.to old school volleyball. If they want to win this one, they will have
:51:51. > :51:54.to be tough on the serve. The blog defence has to work. They need to
:51:55. > :52:01.get into transition and attack. Any one of those will do. -- block
:52:02. > :52:05.defence. Blocking substitution. No recognise that on court here for
:52:06. > :52:13.Brazil. They will just try and shut down Italy at the net. Gold medal
:52:14. > :52:24.points for the hosts. And doesn't the home crowd know it? Wallace. Off
:52:25. > :52:32.the block! It's all over, Brazil are Olympic champions! For the fourth
:52:33. > :52:39.time. They won in 2004. They let it slip in 2008 and 2012, but in 2016
:52:40. > :52:45.on their home court in Rio de Janeiro Brazil are the Olympic
:52:46. > :52:51.champions again for the third time! There's a challenge, the drama is
:52:52. > :53:03.ratcheted up once more! Italy are challenging. To be fair, he's got no
:53:04. > :53:09.other option. Buti, maybe just the last throw of the dice? They have a
:53:10. > :53:13.challenge but it's been denied. -- Blengini, maybe just the lost throw
:53:14. > :53:18.of the dice? Sergio retired after 2012 but he was brought back last
:53:19. > :53:29.year. Here he is, and Olympic champion again. And the Marathi
:53:30. > :53:36.novena, in the shadow of the maraca none, with Neymar watching having
:53:37. > :53:40.won the football only earlier today. They have all witnessed a no triumph
:53:41. > :53:44.in Brazilian volleyball. They have been a supreme force and they have
:53:45. > :53:50.overcome Italy for the second time in the final. There was Neymar. He
:53:51. > :53:54.was in tears yesterday, but he did the job and so, too, have his
:53:55. > :54:06.countrymen in the yellow and blue. Their famous colours. On the court
:54:07. > :54:10.at the little Maracana. Italy cannot believe it, they have only lost once
:54:11. > :54:16.before in this tournament. In the most significant time they have gone
:54:17. > :54:24.down. Neymar, his third Olympics. The captain of the team with Bruno.
:54:25. > :54:27.It is a volleyball double. Brazil topped the beach volleyball are now
:54:28. > :54:32.the men's team have risen and they will be on the top of the podium
:54:33. > :54:36.accepting bronze medals. Is this a mighty achievement, too. Only two
:54:37. > :54:47.other countries have won gold on birth home court. The USSR in 1918.
:54:48. > :54:53.And the US twice. What a way for Brazil to finish.
:54:54. > :54:57.STUDIO: what that means for Brazil as they have their best Olympic
:54:58. > :55:01.Games, they are in 13th on the medal table. If we turn our attention to
:55:02. > :55:06.the top of the table we can see the United States taking home 121
:55:07. > :55:09.medals. What on Olympic Games it has been for Great Britain surpassing
:55:10. > :55:17.China and the London 2012 expectations. We have seen some real
:55:18. > :55:21.highs and lows throughout the whole of the Olympic Games. I hope you
:55:22. > :55:23.have enjoyed the coverage. Thank you so much for your company and we will
:55:24. > :55:37.see you soon. Goodbye. # Birds flying high # You know how I
:55:38. > :55:53.feel # It's a new life for me # And I'm

:56:38. > :56:44.Great Britain. A magnificent seven.
:56:45. > :56:48.The lover and Stanning defend their Olympic title. -- Glover and
:56:49. > :57:15.Stanning. Oh, what a magnificent moment!
:57:16. > :57:22.Alistair Brownlee, the Olympic triathlon.
:57:23. > :57:39.Bow to his superiority, Mo Farah wins the gold!
:57:40. > :58:02.Michael Phelps' 23rd gold. The triple triple, he's done it!
:58:03. > :58:44.Nicola Adams lets out a triumphant roar.
:58:45. > :58:51.Laura Trott is Britain's most successful female Olympian of all
:58:52. > :58:54.time. Max Whitlock, double Olympic
:58:55. > :59:00.champion. Jason Kenny has got it.
