LineFromTo

taken. Both the Toft brothers have defended superbly in this match.

:00:00.:00:07.

It's amazing to see Rene Enders Toft here at all -- Rene Toft here at

:00:08.:00:14.

all. He has made his return quicker than the doctors anticipated. That

:00:15.:00:17.

is why he is so heavily taped up. The shot came in and Landin has got

:00:18.:00:23.

himself caught in the net, managed to get out of it now. I think it is

:00:24.:00:27.

Toft, who we were just talking about, who has been given the

:00:28.:00:29.

two-minute suspension. Karabatic looks to the left. It is a

:00:30.:00:47.

foul. I have some sympathy for him. Denmark are short-handed, harshly, I

:00:48.:00:53.

think. France are going to try and take advantage. There is still

:00:54.:00:57.

plenty of time but they trail by one. They have had the advantage

:00:58.:01:02.

since Karabatic went off for treatment. It has been a long attack

:01:03.:01:11.

by France, Karabatic moves to his right. Attacking foul and he should

:01:12.:01:17.

know better, the experienced redback runs into two static defenders. He

:01:18.:01:26.

was so free -- right back. Good defending, closed the gap quickly.

:01:27.:01:31.

Denmark still leading by one goal. The last couple of minutes in terms

:01:32.:01:39.

of goal-scoring. Denmark now with a player down. They have taken off the

:01:40.:01:44.

goalkeeper and all six players that remain on the court are up the court

:01:45.:01:51.

attacking. Hampton. Fouls. One minute left for Denmark with this

:01:52.:01:58.

player disadvantage. Christiane said.

:01:59.:02:09.

-- Christiansen?. Omeyer saves them. Hansen had a chance from the air.

:02:10.:02:18.

Quick reactions from the 39-year-old. His 12 save. Just got

:02:19.:02:25.

his hand to it to palm it over the bar, great stop by Omeyer. For the

:02:26.:02:31.

goalkeepers, you cannot just block it Willy you have to try and deflect

:02:32.:02:38.

it. Some commitment from the Danish defence. Got away with that on this

:02:39.:02:49.

occasion. Good save by Landin. Needed to look to the right wing,

:02:50.:02:56.

there was a diagonal pass. So difficult to see when you are down

:02:57.:03:01.

on court in a sea of defenders, the slave trade for a Landin hovering

:03:02.:03:14.

around 24%. -- save rate. Christiansen scored just one goal.

:03:15.:03:28.

Hampton goes around, good defending. -- Hansen.

:03:29.:03:40.

Number two for Sondergaard. Rene Toft was doing a good job holding

:03:41.:03:52.

back of the defenders. The advantage for Denmark is back up to two. Very

:03:53.:04:00.

close game this and we have only got 17 minutes remaining in the match.

:04:01.:04:06.

France are two goals down and they are getting a little frustrated.

:04:07.:04:15.

Narcisse has common -- has come on. That balance was too hard, over the

:04:16.:04:20.

top, thought he had a push on the way but the referee says nothing and

:04:21.:04:31.

the Danes are way. Larsen comes around. Looks like he is going to

:04:32.:04:33.

stay on in attack. Olsen in the middle. Karabatic is

:04:34.:04:57.

off and sitting next to the coach. Good defence but Olsen is free.

:04:58.:05:03.

Hansen. The arm is up, shot down the middle. It comes off Larsen.

:05:04.:05:14.

Narcisse. Beautiful play, lovely angle. What an opportunity for Luc

:05:15.:05:24.

Abalo! He was pretty much flush straight on with the goal. Before he

:05:25.:05:37.

shot, so far wide. Those are not the opportunities you want to miss if

:05:38.:05:42.

you are France. With just over 50 minutes to go in the match. 21-19 to

:05:43.:05:51.

Denmark. The French shooting average still has not change from half-time,

:05:52.:05:55.

the Danes are slightly down as Svan Hansen goes in. Goal! Third goal of

:05:56.:06:05.

the game for Olsen. And a 3-goal advantage for the Danes. That is

:06:06.:06:13.

finished off. He gets another goal, he is one of the new players on the

:06:14.:06:18.

team. Desperate to get his first goal of the Olympic Games. He has

:06:19.:06:26.

played just one hour of handball in two weeks. There are still within

:06:27.:06:33.

two. We are in the Future Arena. France are changing now, Karabatic

:06:34.:06:46.

is pushed up. They do not need the space, because Sondergaard is there.

:06:47.:06:53.

He is doing the damage to the Crown Prince of Denmark -- he is doing the

:06:54.:07:00.

damage, to the delight of the Crown Prince of Denmark who has joined the

:07:01.:07:07.

crowd. The doctors have come over to have a look at this player.

:07:08.:07:19.

Mahe seem to be doing all right. Landin has not been flamboyant

:07:20.:07:31.

himself. They did change and put him in against the last match against

:07:32.:07:36.

Denmark and he had a good spell in gold. Perhaps he is hoping he can

:07:37.:07:43.

change their fortunes. Karabatic is back on again after another break

:07:44.:07:48.

and it appears he is not fully fit. He will give his all here in these

:07:49.:07:52.

last few minutes of the Rio games. The ball is stolen. He could not

:07:53.:07:57.

quite get hold of it properly, Mortensen. The chance for the fast

:07:58.:08:03.

break disappeared and he does not have much support. He saw there was

:08:04.:08:11.

no one upfront. Seventh turnover for France who are losing their way

:08:12.:08:17.

slightly here. Denmark looking to put to rest quite a few ghosts here

:08:18.:08:23.

against the French. European Championship final, World

:08:24.:08:28.

Championship final of 2013... A two minute suspension. It is Narcisse

:08:29.:08:36.

who is given it and he looks a little bunnies, I think there was a

:08:37.:08:42.

face in the hands of Olsen. -- he looks a little bemused. A real

:08:43.:08:55.

chance here for Denmark, leading by three and now with the power play,

:08:56.:08:58.

the winger is very deep, trying to take the opportunities. Henrik Toft

:08:59.:09:09.

on the line. Hansen goes down, it is a free throw. His club team-mate,

:09:10.:09:17.

Karabatic shakes his head. They are great friends but for now they have

:09:18.:09:21.

to put it aside. Clever play. Opens up a huge amount of space. And Svan

:09:22.:09:35.

Hansen scorers. Svan Hansen coming in and flinging it underneath. It is

:09:36.:09:45.

24-22 Denmark. France need to figure something out and soon because they

:09:46.:09:49.

are dropping further and further back from the Danes. Karabatic.

:09:50.:10:00.

Dipanda is in the centre. A foul given against Dipanda as he piled in

:10:01.:10:04.

to the Danish defenders. Denmark come forward again with the player

:10:05.:10:10.

advantage. Can they extend their lead to five? An excellent spell by

:10:11.:10:16.

Denmark and the French who are through various suspensions and

:10:17.:10:19.

treatment for Karabatic, turning some of the young players and they

:10:20.:10:25.

are making mistakes. Dipanda has had a couple of attacking fouls against

:10:26.:10:31.

him. It is all uncharted territory. Hansen, good save. Got a fingertip

:10:32.:10:40.

onto it. Denmark have possession. Olsen has shifted to the left hand

:10:41.:10:44.

side. Sondergaard. You can see daylight right through. The Danish

:10:45.:10:50.

bands, dare they start to believe that they are going to beat the two

:10:51.:10:57.

times defending Olympic gold medallists? They are five goals to

:10:58.:11:06.

the good with 12 minutes to go. We have seen some crazy things happen

:11:07.:11:10.

during the course of these games, but the French fans look concerned

:11:11.:11:13.

and a time-out is called by the French because they have got to try

:11:14.:11:18.

and sort this out. It will be fascinating to see if David Davis

:11:19.:11:20.

does the talking. France step back on court after that

:11:21.:12:21.

team time-out and Denmark are very much in control of the Olympic final

:12:22.:12:24.

and looking for glory here for the first time. Guigou. It is a penalty.

:12:25.:12:34.

Very slowly but surely forced his way past the defender, Larsen and

:12:35.:12:43.

forces the mistake on his shooting arm. Waved his arm in the air, that

:12:44.:12:50.

is all he wanted, he just wanted Larsen to touch it. This would put

:12:51.:12:58.

back to within four. It is Mahe who takes the shot and scorers that. He

:12:59.:13:03.

finds the back of the net and that is his first contribution of the

:13:04.:13:10.

entire match. But it underneath the leg, Landin seems to go the right

:13:11.:13:15.

way but he is too late. His father also played for France, Mahe.

:13:16.:13:34.

Sondergaard, Hansen. We have got a collision between two players and

:13:35.:13:40.

Karabatic who is already nursing an injury gets a brother gingerly and

:13:41.:13:45.

says I seem to have been the victim of a foul elbow -- gets up rather.

:13:46.:13:59.

It is still a free throw and the Danes will have it. Just under ten

:14:00.:14:05.

minutes to go, the initiative is very much with the Danish team.

:14:06.:14:15.

Maybe the first little signs of nerves, and clicking, the lips

:14:16.:14:19.

biting, he knows that his side have a lot to do to get back into this

:14:20.:14:24.

game. It is absolutely doable, but they better start doing it. That is

:14:25.:14:30.

not the way to do it, that is a goal from Morten Olsen. So precise, not

:14:31.:14:36.

that much power, but just picked the spot. Again, Karabatic getting

:14:37.:14:40.

frustrated with some good Danish defending. They were getting behind

:14:41.:14:46.

him. Toft. Tries again. That is good. Classic, simple but effective

:14:47.:14:56.

and finished off I Guigou. Eventually you will overlap if you

:14:57.:15:03.

do it very quickly. His face on that cutaway was very much, finally

:15:04.:15:15.

act-macro --! 25 leading the scoring with eight goals for Denmark. There

:15:16.:15:25.

he is, number 24 -- Hansen. Back again to Hansen. The Danes are in no

:15:26.:15:35.

real need to rush their play. Now Hansen will shoot, and attacking

:15:36.:15:39.

foul given against him and France come forward, they will want to get

:15:40.:15:41.

on with things as quickly as possible.

:15:42.:15:48.

Narcisse is back on again, Porte at the back. France have come here

:15:49.:16:01.

without two of their most experienced players defensively,

:16:02.:16:09.

both from PSG. Struggling a little bit when they turn to the bench.

:16:10.:16:13.

They have had to, because of injury to Nikola Karabatic. The discussion

:16:14.:16:25.

going on between Hanson and Svan about how they are connecting in

:16:26.:16:28.

defence. He caught him around the neck, a carbon copy of the last one,

:16:29.:16:34.

and Svan goes off for the second time. If he gets a third, it will be

:16:35.:16:40.

a red card and he will not be allowed to take part in the match.

:16:41.:16:48.

CHEERING Finds the back of the net. They get

:16:49.:16:54.

back down to three goals now. It had been as high as five earlier on. The

:16:55.:17:00.

friends are edging back into this game. He sends it to the right,

:17:01.:17:06.

after Landin commits himself will stop the French now pushing up very

:17:07.:17:12.

deep. Maybe deciding Hanson was too far out, told to keep an eye on him.

:17:13.:17:20.

Now he has switched his attention to Olsen. Chopping and changing.

:17:21.:17:25.

Disruptive influence at the front, trying to put them off making the

:17:26.:17:33.

crosscourt passes. Into the side netting. For a moment it may have

:17:34.:17:39.

looked like it may have gone in. Deflection on the shot from Hanson.

:17:40.:17:49.

We can see it again here, the shot. The goalkeeper has gone back in,

:17:50.:17:53.

after the brief experiment, I wasn't sure why they made the change in the

:17:54.:18:00.

first place. France now in very active defence mode. The ball loose

:18:01.:18:08.

again, long-range shot but saved. Why did he take the shot? Spinning

:18:09.:18:13.

around, against the shooting arm. Chance for the French with seven

:18:14.:18:17.

minutes remaining in the final, as Narcisse comes back again. This is

:18:18.:18:21.

the chance for France because Denmark are down to six players.

:18:22.:18:28.

Straight at Landin. He's in no rush to distribute it. I think he wants a

:18:29.:18:37.

change of ball. There is the shot from Karabatic. It wasn't straight

:18:38.:18:41.

at Landin he had to get his arm out, but it was near the centre of the

:18:42.:18:47.

goals. So, the Danes will look to try and lengthen this. There was

:18:48.:18:52.

talk in the last team Time out that they were going to leave it a little

:18:53.:18:56.

while longer and go to individual defence, man-to-man. Not for too

:18:57.:19:00.

long because the French have young players on the bench but they are

:19:01.:19:10.

relatively inexperienced. Good save. His break has done him good, Omeyer!

:19:11.:19:14.

Narcisse. Sorhaindo as the line player again. Narcisse, pointing to

:19:15.:19:31.

Porte. Didn't really have enough room to get a good angle on the

:19:32.:19:40.

goal. Karabatic. Again! Narcisse! Two goals in it now. Narcisse

:19:41.:19:46.

unimpressed with Landin's attempt to make the stop. Landin was very quick

:19:47.:19:54.

to try and apologise. As he shoots he gets Landin's foot in his face. A

:19:55.:20:02.

nice little karate chop. Another time-out by Denmark.

:20:03.:20:41.

The team Time out over very quickly for the French. Gudmundsson trying

:20:42.:20:48.

to keep his team together here. A five goal lead eaten away by the

:20:49.:20:53.

French. Still a little untidy in their attacking. Looking a tad tired

:20:54.:21:02.

as well. Just over five minutes to go in the Olympic final. Denmark

:21:03.:21:09.

26-24 France. Denmark in their first ever Olympic final and looking to

:21:10.:21:13.

get the biggest result in the men's handball team's career. Five minutes

:21:14.:21:19.

on the clock. France the two-time defending Gold Medal lists. France

:21:20.:21:31.

two up. Olsen takes a shot but is fouled in the act of shooting and it

:21:32.:21:36.

will be a free throw. Sorhaindo getting in the way, the Barcelona

:21:37.:21:44.

line player. Hanson now looks to his left, Olsen closely marked. Nikola

:21:45.:21:48.

Karabatic trying to interfere with the pass. Nearly going through, it's

:21:49.:21:58.

a free throw, as Sondergaard is knocked down. Nikola Karabatic this

:21:59.:22:03.

time. A little push in the air. A rather worried look on his face, he

:22:04.:22:08.

knew it was either a penalty or two minutes coming his way. Goes wide by

:22:09.:22:12.

Hanson! Denmark just struggling a bit, all

:22:13.:22:21.

of a sudden, France streaming back. Narcisse in the middle. That's going

:22:22.:22:28.

to be a free throw. That was lucky for them, as Porte puts it into the

:22:29.:22:36.

side netting. For minutes on the clock, France two goals behind. We

:22:37.:22:40.

could be in for a grandstand Gold Medal finish here. Mortensen down

:22:41.:22:51.

after battling with Sorhaindo. It is Mortensen who gives the Gallic shrug

:22:52.:22:58.

to the referee. Hard to take your pick which of the coaches is looking

:22:59.:23:07.

more anxious. The defence coach for Paris. Well blocked. Another free

:23:08.:23:19.

throw. He's been huge in defence for Denmark, Rene Toft. Cuts back. Why

:23:20.:23:31.

did he shoot? Free on the wing and he had the free throw. Made a few

:23:32.:23:35.

bad decisions, the French, haven't really got time to make any more

:23:36.:23:42.

now. Karabatic! Oh! Did it take a deflection? The pace completely

:23:43.:23:46.

taken out of the shot but it has gone in. It's his fifth goal. France

:23:47.:23:53.

is now just one goal the hind. Straight in from Karabatic and there

:23:54.:23:58.

is one goal in it with three minutes on the clock. France have fought

:23:59.:24:04.

back from five goals down. It was 25-20, now it is 26-25. Denmark

:24:05.:24:10.

starting to look a little less comfortable in the game. They had a

:24:11.:24:15.

superb period at the start of the second half when they just started

:24:16.:24:21.

to pull clear from the French. Hanson, out on the wing for Svan,

:24:22.:24:30.

scores it! Svan desperately trying to get back and block Karabatic, as

:24:31.:24:36.

France come forward. The referee saying nothing doing but get up,

:24:37.:24:45.

let's crack on with this. Well, it's nothing... A bit of mopping and

:24:46.:24:52.

carrying on. That goal brings to an end... France with a five goal

:24:53.:24:58.

turnaround, they had been 25-20 down, back to 25-26. After a lull,

:24:59.:25:06.

the Danes were glad to get a goal and put some space between them and

:25:07.:25:10.

the French. Dispossessed entirely fairly by Rene Toft! The clock still

:25:11.:25:16.

ticking. Denmark have to slow the pace down. Finding all kinds of

:25:17.:25:22.

excuses. Thinking about a change of ball as well. There is the incident

:25:23.:25:26.

again. Pulled out of his hand. 27-25. Three steals for both sides.

:25:27.:25:40.

Denmark coming forward, two goals to the good. Hansen... Look at the

:25:41.:25:54.

nerves on the Danish fans's faces, are they about to see their team win

:25:55.:26:01.

a first gold medal. Given away. Now France will have the chance to come

:26:02.:26:06.

forward. Less than a minute to go, has to be now or never for France!

:26:07.:26:13.

The whistle goes, too many steps, was it, from Karabatic? He can't

:26:14.:26:17.

believe it! With a minute left, the Danes are starting to party. The

:26:18.:26:22.

French coach has his head in his hands, as that could be it. They're

:26:23.:26:26.

going to have to really attack with their defence now, France.

:26:27.:26:29.

Man-to-man defence. The pressure telling in the end. On the

:26:30.:26:43.

talismanic French player. To kill the game, Larsen! That is surely it!

:26:44.:26:53.

Denmark surely heading for gold. The clock is stopped by 25 seconds for

:26:54.:27:00.

three goals, it is Everest to climb. Didn't care how they stopped him,

:27:01.:27:05.

Denmark. It was Rene Toft who committed the foul. The instructions

:27:06.:27:11.

still coming from Gudmundur Gudmundsson. The Danish fans are

:27:12.:27:20.

partying. They have lost the European and world title. There are

:27:21.:27:23.

about to lose the Olympic title. He scores but it's going to be too

:27:24.:27:28.

little too late, this third penalty. Landin stands tall, straight over

:27:29.:27:33.

his shoulder. Individual defence now. It would take a catastrophic

:27:34.:27:38.

series of mistakes by the Danes and a lot of clock stopping. They just

:27:39.:27:41.

have to run the clock down and the party can start! The party has a

:27:42.:27:47.

ready started, because there is the full-time whistle! For the first

:27:48.:27:51.

time in their history, Denmark are Olympic champions! They have won to

:27:52.:27:57.

EU Championships in their time, three times they have been

:27:58.:28:00.

runners-up in the World Championships, and in their first

:28:01.:28:04.

Olympic final they take the Gold Medal. For France, the two-time

:28:05.:28:08.

defending champions at Beijing at London are going to have to settle

:28:09.:28:12.

for silver here. But an historic day for Denmark, the greatest day in the

:28:13.:28:19.

history of the men's handball team, as they become Olympic champions.

:28:20.:28:23.

The French looking to the skies. The last game perhaps for the old guard

:28:24.:28:28.

of Thierry Omeyer, Daniel Narcisse, maybe even Nikola Karabatic. But

:28:29.:28:41.

delight for Denmark and that man, turning into a legend of the sport

:28:42.:28:47.

if he is not already. He set up so many assists in the game. The final

:28:48.:28:49.

score here, Denmark 28-26 France. Well, the Danish women's handball

:28:50.:29:01.

team have won Olympic gold on three separate occasions, but until now

:29:02.:29:05.

the men's Danish handball team had won no Olympic medals, so starting

:29:06.:29:14.

with gold? You can see what it means to them. You can also see what it

:29:15.:29:18.

means by the disappointment on the faces of the French team. Look at

:29:19.:29:25.

the Danes! Having a pretty good party, they will be having fun

:29:26.:29:27.

tonight. But as I said earlier on, 12 gold

:29:28.:29:37.

medals have been up for grabs on the last day of the Olympic Games. Some

:29:38.:29:42.

of them won already. Let's keep you up-to-date with some of the

:29:43.:29:42.

headlines. Kenny's Eliud Kipchoge as won the

:29:43.:29:55.

last two London Marathon and added Olympic gold to his CV today.

:29:56.:29:59.

Britain's Callum Hawkins finished a very creditable ninth place. Swiss

:30:00.:30:10.

rider Nino Schurter made it a full set of medals in the men's biking,

:30:11.:30:17.

he got bronze in Beijing, silver in London and gold here. There is a

:30:18.:30:24.

Shields took the team women's -- the women's middleweight title. She has

:30:25.:30:30.

not lost a single bout Indian to beaming for years since London. And

:30:31.:30:36.

as you've just seen, huge underdogs Denmark upset the odds to win the

:30:37.:30:43.

men's handball gold and deny France a third successive Olympic title.

:30:44.:30:47.

This is Denmark's first Olympic handball medal of any colour.

:30:48.:30:57.

And now you can see Jill Joyce, he is about to take part in his gold

:30:58.:31:07.

medal bout on BBC One at the moment -- Joe Joyce. We will show you the

:31:08.:31:15.

best of later. Last Saturday Mo Farah took his first gold medal of

:31:16.:31:20.

the Olympic Games in the 10,000 metres, he came, he fell, but

:31:21.:31:25.

ultimately he conquered. Last night in the 5000 metres he was bidding to

:31:26.:31:28.

do the distance double, repeating what he did in London 2012. Mo Farah

:31:29.:31:42.

going for the double double. Mo Farah trying to do something that so

:31:43.:31:44.

many greats could not do. You could go through all the great

:31:45.:31:58.

names of the past and he has an opportunity here to hopefully take

:31:59.:32:05.

this fourth gold medal and the double again would be his. That is

:32:06.:32:15.

pretty quick isn't it, 2.37 through the first kilometre, the quickest

:32:16.:32:20.

ever kilometres in an Olympic 5000. Is this a genuine attempt to take Mo

:32:21.:32:24.

Farah on or an attempt to get rid of as many people as possible? These

:32:25.:32:29.

guys have watched Mo Farah, they have seen him dominate the sport at

:32:30.:32:34.

world level, five World Championship gold medals, three Olympic gold

:32:35.:32:38.

medals already, now they have decided and I think this is clever

:32:39.:32:41.

and sensible on their behalf, they are saying we cannot beat him in a

:32:42.:32:46.

slow race, let us try and make it a bit faster. Mo Farah now in the

:32:47.:32:51.

middle of a pack is being tested in endurance, they are talking about

:32:52.:32:55.

who will go next and whether they will go, seven laps to go in the

:32:56.:33:02.

men's 5000 metres and so far the Ethiopian plan to stretch Mo Farah

:33:03.:33:06.

and see if he has the strength coming is faster than the fastest,

:33:07.:33:14.

they will find out if he is stronger than the strongest. Great Britain

:33:15.:33:20.

web two man in the top seven, Ethiopia leading it but slowing,

:33:21.:33:24.

that was the slowest lap, the previous one. I suspect this one

:33:25.:33:30.

will be even slower. This one looks if anything a bit slower. Mo Farah

:33:31.:33:37.

is saying, this is your opening gambit, I have taken this, thank

:33:38.:33:42.

you, not good enough, I am ready, I am waiting, I am right here, right

:33:43.:33:46.

where I want to be, I am just letting you know that I am here, you

:33:47.:33:50.

slow down, I moved to the front, you speed up, I am going with you. He is

:33:51.:33:55.

already one of the all-time greats, is he about to run himself into the

:33:56.:34:05.

list of the very best we have ever seen, for my money he is already

:34:06.:34:07.

there, he is determined, he hates losing, he wants to win again. He

:34:08.:34:11.

has run thousands of miles in training and now he is into his last

:34:12.:34:17.

mile, four laps to go in this Olympic final, a mile that could

:34:18.:34:22.

take him to further Olympic glory, a mile that could take him to his

:34:23.:34:26.

fourth Olympic gold medal and he has decided he wants to get rid of this

:34:27.:34:31.

race early, he does not want to let them control it, the one who I

:34:32.:34:40.

thought was a danger is there. 1000 metres left in that 5000 metre

:34:41.:34:45.

final. That was the slowest kilometre. Mo Farah leading, danger

:34:46.:34:49.

everywhere he looks, but he knows that all of these people have tried

:34:50.:34:53.

in the past two out kick him and none of them have managed to get

:34:54.:34:58.

past him. None of these people are quicker than Mo Farah when he is at

:34:59.:35:06.

his best. Mo Farah is leading it. He comes down the back straight, three

:35:07.:35:10.

medals in the by, is it to be another one, an historic four? He is

:35:11.:35:18.

checking behind, to the side, looks up at the big screen, sees them all

:35:19.:35:25.

their, Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo on the inside, Bernard Lagat, almost a fall

:35:26.:35:31.

as Hagos Gebrhiwet had a little shove. There goes Mo Farah at the

:35:32.:35:38.

bell. He has got company, he is accelerating, he is sprinting, he is

:35:39.:35:42.

in the driving seat, as he got the finish that we have seen him produce

:35:43.:35:46.

over the years, can he add to the three gold battles that he has? He

:35:47.:35:52.

looks again, Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo pushes out. Mo Farah knows that he

:35:53.:35:58.

just has to hold the curve, he just needs to hold the lead, they will

:35:59.:36:03.

attack again, but Mo Farah has more to give, he has got speed in those

:36:04.:36:08.

legs to spare, he is looking up at the screen, they are trying to catch

:36:09.:36:12.

him, Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo looks the big danger for the USA, but Mo Farah

:36:13.:36:18.

looks inside, checks there is no danger, Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo is

:36:19.:36:22.

trying that he will not get him, Mo Farah has gone, there is no way he

:36:23.:36:27.

can stop them, Mo Farah is going to get the gold medal again, the double

:36:28.:36:34.

double, four Olympic titles, four Olympic gold medals, incredible from

:36:35.:36:41.

Mo Farah. Congratulations, a fourth gold medal, you have created another

:36:42.:36:45.

piece of history. I cannot believe it. My legs are bit tired, I do not

:36:46.:36:53.

know how I would recover. People were bringing me food in the room

:36:54.:36:56.

and I was resting and I cannot believe I did it. It is the dream of

:36:57.:37:02.

every athlete. I cannot believe it. It has not sunk in. Is this the most

:37:03.:37:10.

satisfying one? Definitely. It was not just a fluke in London, I have

:37:11.:37:14.

done it again here. I want to go home now and see my beautiful

:37:15.:37:19.

children and hang the medals around their neck. Husein was getting this

:37:20.:37:24.

battle, reanimate -- Rhianna has a medal. I have that drive. It is

:37:25.:37:32.

something we are born with. I hate losing. If you dream about something

:37:33.:37:38.

and you have ambitions and you are willing to work hard, you can

:37:39.:37:41.

achieve your dreams. It is something I have been working hard for years

:37:42.:37:45.

and years and sometimes there is disappointment, but you have to take

:37:46.:37:51.

it and learn from it. Each race you learn something. That is what got me

:37:52.:37:56.

there. I do not see my children. For me, I was not going to miss out. I

:37:57.:38:02.

wanted to do it for them. I will not catch up that time, but if I can

:38:03.:38:08.

achieve something in my career, that is something for them and that

:38:09.:38:09.

drives me. What an incredible storm we have

:38:10.:38:27.

coming. Look at the sky, you can see this huge weather front coming in,

:38:28.:38:31.

all the lights are starting to waver. Now, I am going to stand here

:38:32.:38:36.

and hold on for dear life, because last night, the golden ticket for

:38:37.:38:42.

sports fans here in Brazil and it was a lovely sunny day yesterday was

:38:43.:38:48.

that the Maracana have. It was Germany against Brazil in the final

:38:49.:38:53.

of football, it was Olympics and football colliding, it was

:38:54.:38:56.

everything that these Brazilian fans had wanted to see, let us find out

:38:57.:38:57.

what happened. Try telling the people here this is

:38:58.:39:08.

not the World Cup final, the two most successful footballing nations

:39:09.:39:13.

on Paris in one of the most iconic football stadiums in the world, both

:39:14.:39:16.

hoping to achieve something they have never done before, by securing

:39:17.:39:22.

an Olympic gold medal. Alongside me is Kevin Kilbane, if there is one

:39:23.:39:27.

side who you feel can master the occasion, it is the German side. It

:39:28.:39:34.

certainly is, so much experience, so much first-class experience. They

:39:35.:39:41.

can cause Germany a lot of problems. A decent effort against the frame of

:39:42.:39:49.

the goal by Brandt. He almost did silence the Marcana. There is

:39:50.:40:06.

Neymar. He has won the free kick. The ball was getting away from

:40:07.:40:20.

Neymar. It was a foul by 28. -- Ginter. It is Neymar. In the back of

:40:21.:40:27.

the net, the darling of Brazil provides the opening goal and you

:40:28.:40:30.

can probably hear that the roof on the Marcana is starting to

:40:31.:40:35.

reverberate! What a goal! Truly outstanding from Neymar. Tino Horan

:40:36.:40:46.

in gold, he could not strike it any better -- Timo Horn. He could not

:40:47.:40:56.

strike at any better. Here is Brandt. Trying to return it to

:40:57.:41:07.

Meyer. There is a foul on the edge of the area, Gabriel Jesus diving

:41:08.:41:10.

in. He is very high there, Gabriel Jesus. Brandt. Against the frame of

:41:11.:41:24.

the goal again! Well, Sven Bender deflected goal bound but could not

:41:25.:41:29.

score. Good ball played into a good area by Brandt, so unlucky.

:41:30.:41:45.

Meyer, Sven Bender. Deflected towards Meyer and there is the

:41:46.:41:51.

equaliser that Germany have threatened for so very long! The

:41:52.:41:55.

captain of Germany cancels out the goal from the captain of Brazil and

:41:56.:42:01.

they have silenced the Marcana. As soon as Sven Bender picks up the

:42:02.:42:07.

ball, Toljan is on the move and he has the awareness to put it in front

:42:08.:42:12.

of the Brazilian defence and real quality finish from Max Meyer,

:42:13.:42:19.

superb finish. 200 million Brazilians have just slumped in

:42:20.:42:22.

their various chairs. Neymar goals for the goal and is maybe a couple

:42:23.:42:28.

of feet beyond, just sets himself brilliantly. Turn, on Sven Bender, I

:42:29.:42:39.

think he had it covered, Timo Horn. We are to have extra time.

:42:40.:42:45.

Interception by Douglas Santos. Everyone is onside. Neymar looking

:42:46.:42:54.

to join in. There were two or three German defenders in the way. Toljan

:42:55.:42:59.

I think it was who made the block. They have been caught out a few

:43:00.:43:04.

times, Germany. That time Germany was vulnerable to the counterattack.

:43:05.:43:11.

Too quickly, too early. Could Luan have picked out Neymar? Marquinhos.

:43:12.:43:22.

-- Rafinha. Ms controlled by Douglas Santos, Germany come forward but

:43:23.:43:29.

Petersen. Brandt! That would have been magnificent. A heartbreaker

:43:30.:43:33.

perhaps for a Brazil, but a moment of genuine quality. Well, the

:43:34.:43:40.

Olympic Games is almost coming to its conclusion and therefore it

:43:41.:43:45.

does, a penalty shoot out will decide whether at the host nation

:43:46.:43:51.

are going to win a gold medal at the Marcana Stadium. It is Matthias

:43:52.:43:56.

Ginter, part of the Germany squad that beat Brazil 7-1 takes the first

:43:57.:44:01.

one and tucks it into the corner of the net. First blood, Germany.

:44:02.:44:11.

Renato Augusto has the responsibility of levelling up.

:44:12.:44:19.

Which she does. I'm so pleased for him because he has been the

:44:20.:44:22.

outstanding player for Brazil throughout the tournament. And now,

:44:23.:44:32.

there are boos for Arsenal's Serge Gnabry. And it is underneath his

:44:33.:44:39.

body. The goalkeeper got plenty on it, there were several thousand who

:44:40.:44:44.

thought he had saved it. Marquinhos from PSG steps up. To try and bring

:44:45.:44:52.

Brazil level. And he does it with aplomb. 2-2 on penalties. Brandt.

:44:53.:45:07.

Brilliant penalty. Absolutely faultless.

:45:08.:45:14.

Rafinha of Barcelona. Does he have the nerve? He does! The goalkeeper

:45:15.:45:26.

goes one way and he goes the other. I'm sure Neymar is deciding when to

:45:27.:45:32.

take the penalty. Meantime, the centre half from Hoffenheim, Sule,

:45:33.:45:36.

20 years old. He thumps it into the corner of the net as if it were just

:45:37.:45:39.

a dame against his family in the back garden. Now then, Luan, of

:45:40.:45:53.

Gremio. A little hesitation in the run-up but he pops it into the

:45:54.:45:59.

corner. We are all square at 4-4. One way or the other, Neymar's

:46:00.:46:05.

penalty is going to be significant. Niels Petersen, Once of Bayern

:46:06.:46:12.

Munich, now of Freiburg... His penalty save! It is all set for

:46:13.:46:19.

Neymar! The player who went off in tears in the quarterfinal because he

:46:20.:46:23.

couldn't take part in the semifinal. The stage is set. Surely it could be

:46:24.:46:30.

his moment? Now then, Neymar, can you provide the gold medal for your

:46:31.:46:35.

country? Redemption awaits for the side who couldn't win their own

:46:36.:46:38.

fever World Cup two years ago... Neymar... Scores!

:46:39.:46:46.

CHEERING 200 million Brazilians scream with

:46:47.:46:54.

delight. The golden boy has provided the moment that his country craved.

:46:55.:46:59.

Knocked out by Germany in a game that no one will ever forget.

:47:00.:47:09.

Well, I didn't think it was possible for Neymar to do commit bigger star

:47:10.:47:14.

than he was before that match, but last night really has sealed his

:47:15.:47:18.

place in the folklore of Brazilian sport. One of the most popular

:47:19.:47:28.

sports at the Olympic Games is basketball. USA have won the title

:47:29.:47:38.

13 times. Can they make it 14? Over to our commentators.

:47:39.:47:45.

COMMENTATOR: In the semifinal he had a great game too. Clay Thompson

:47:46.:47:54.

misses from the outside. Driven towards the basket. He has

:47:55.:48:13.

been mismatched now and he misses. That is the importance of DeAndre

:48:14.:48:21.

Jordan. He is so strong in the paint. That is why he has earned his

:48:22.:48:32.

starting spot for the US. Interesting, he had the chance of a

:48:33.:48:39.

pass but instead took the shot. Jordan, the worst foul shooter on

:48:40.:48:45.

the US team, shooting well under 50%. He misses that. It's 3-2 to

:48:46.:48:52.

Serbia. That will be a foul, reaching it an Klay Thompson. When

:48:53.:49:04.

Australia have pressured them defensively, Serbia could get out of

:49:05.:49:13.

it. Tipped by Thomson, taken by Jordan. Into Klay Thompson. Thomson

:49:14.:49:23.

with a fade away jump, it is good and it is for- three. It's

:49:24.:49:29.

incredible but Klay Thompson was averaging 3.8 game in the group

:49:30.:49:32.

stage! That was extraordinary, but he stepped it up in the final group

:49:33.:49:38.

stage matches. The whistle against Kevin to rant -- Kevin Durant for a

:49:39.:49:51.

foul off the ball. He didn't fire in the semifinal, surprising because he

:49:52.:49:57.

has had such a good Olympic Games. Three from the foul line and it is

:49:58.:50:17.

5-4 to Serbia. Durant... He has got the mismatch. The rebound comes down

:50:18.:50:32.

to Markovic. Markovic comes on the layup and Mrs. Going for the basket.

:50:33.:50:40.

It was tipped away from him by Kalinic. 5-4, Serbia. Serbia will be

:50:41.:50:48.

delighted with the way they have defended so far. Serbia know if it

:50:49.:50:54.

is one-on-one battles they're not going to win. They have to work as a

:50:55.:51:00.

unit defensively. And the paradox there is that the US, all through

:51:01.:51:03.

this tournament, has not really have the extra pass, the third pass

:51:04.:51:13.

against the open shot. Teodosic takes the jumper from the foul line

:51:14.:51:25.

and makes it 7-4. Jordan, Durant. Jumper from the foul line, misses.

:51:26.:51:37.

Teodosic back. Durant comes right back with it. The US spreading it

:51:38.:51:40.

out. Not much movement through the middle by them. Jordan setting up

:51:41.:51:46.

underneath. Durant draws the foul, but that was a difficult shot. The

:51:47.:51:50.

other Americans are standing around, which you can live with. It's

:51:51.:51:59.

extraordinary that the US have not used the movement more because that

:52:00.:52:03.

is what Serbia do and it creates openings and it creates shots. So

:52:04.:52:08.

far it is going Serbia's way. Compared to what happened in the

:52:09.:52:11.

group stage, it's actually not that much of a surprise. Durant misses

:52:12.:52:15.

Well, we praised the Serbia team and said their passing was excellent and

:52:16.:52:27.

their defence was really strong. -- he praised. He knew they were in for

:52:28.:52:38.

a game here. Serbia lead by two. Markovic brings it up. Teodosic in

:52:39.:52:55.

two Raduljica. He kicked the ball. That was hard to tell exactly what

:52:56.:53:02.

went wrong, there. If it is a foul, you would think it might be an

:53:03.:53:07.

sportsmanlike conduct. He kicked the ball. Well, it has gone Serbia's

:53:08.:53:15.

way. Absolutely. Oh sorry, he kicked the ball. Now I understand.

:53:16.:53:22.

Teodosic... And that one is tipped away and Durant having trouble

:53:23.:53:27.

gathering it in, but he gets it and they are tied at seven.

:53:28.:53:34.

Teodosic misses the three, but the rebound to Macvan. It is something

:53:35.:53:48.

they did so well against Australia. When you can start dominating them,

:53:49.:53:55.

that is a big advantage. Now Anthony wants the ball on the baseline. He's

:53:56.:54:02.

got a size advantage. He goes across court to Thompson, who wants the

:54:03.:54:10.

three. He just beat the shot clock. It will be a foul on Markovic. That

:54:11.:54:18.

is what Serbia don't mind, they don't mind fouling. They're going to

:54:19.:54:23.

be aggressive whatever happens. The shot clock is running down and there

:54:24.:54:27.

are no easy attempts for the US so far, except for that one. He

:54:28.:54:33.

struggled to get it under control! That is one thing use C sometimes

:54:34.:54:43.

from a guy who is six foot nine. Thompson goes for the three and

:54:44.:54:48.

hits. Just under half way through the first quarter.

:54:49.:54:56.

Teodosic, drives, splits two defenders and Jordan stops that and

:54:57.:55:13.

Thompson had it, the alley-oop to Jordan didn't work. Defensively,

:55:14.:55:17.

Jordan is magnificent. To stop Teodosic and then working so hard to

:55:18.:55:23.

get back at the other end. No way through for Teodosic. Amazing that

:55:24.:55:26.

Jordan has become such a key player for the United States. He really

:55:27.:55:31.

needs -- they really need him on defence. They really need him as a

:55:32.:55:42.

stopper. He's really taken over from Cousins as the starting centre.

:55:43.:55:54.

Jordan can't hold it and it falls to Bogdanovich, his first touch of the

:55:55.:55:55.

ball. Bogdanovic. Stripped away and I

:55:56.:56:14.

think Thompson was out of bounds. Serbia will be delighted with how

:56:15.:56:17.

they started this game, keeping up with the United States. It's better

:56:18.:56:26.

than how they started in the group game. You see what Serbia can do

:56:27.:56:39.

here, as Jovic comes in. That will be a foul on Anthony, trying to poke

:56:40.:56:51.

the ball away. Jovic played in a number of tournaments and it's like

:56:52.:56:56.

having two more starters coming in. The way the coach has rotated his

:56:57.:57:00.

team and put his team together has been really amazing stuff. Raduljica

:57:01.:57:09.

with a nice pasta back and gives it to Jovic, but he misses. USA in the

:57:10.:57:18.

lead at 11-9. And that is their first lead...

:57:19.:57:31.

Actually it is their first lead in the game. Bogdanovic. Great drive

:57:32.:57:38.

and great look. Raduljica stuffs it through. Bogdanovic drew two

:57:39.:57:43.

defenders to him and then played the low bounce pass. Two of the hottest

:57:44.:57:52.

dunkers in the game. The ball stolen away by Bogdanovic, and the foul.

:57:53.:58:05.

You see what Irving is saying. I think he got the ball, there. Watch

:58:06.:58:11.

the left arm. The left arm of Bogdanovic made contact with Irving.

:58:12.:58:17.

He's saying, he made contact with me. That is one that rarely gets

:58:18.:58:23.

called. Against Australia we saw it, they just know when to pressure and

:58:24.:58:28.

get the hand in at the vital moment. They do it so well. Defensively they

:58:29.:58:32.

have been fantastic throughout this Olympic Games, Serbia. He hasn't got

:58:33.:58:39.

going yet, Bogdanovic. But he is a player who seems to grow with the

:58:40.:58:42.

game and usually improves as the game goes on.

:58:43.:58:55.

Serbia up I2-macro with three and a half to play in the first quarter.

:58:56.:59:09.

He took a shot as he went through the middle. I think Cousins is going

:59:10.:59:25.

to have the foul for pushing. The Serbian defensive pressure, they are

:59:26.:59:28.

not allowing the United States to play the game that they want to

:59:29.:59:36.

play. You can see from the coach's face that he is not happy with the

:59:37.:59:40.

way his team are playing. They're getting a bit frustrated, the US,

:59:41.:59:44.

with a view technical fouls called against them. That was the earlier

:59:45.:59:49.

contact. The 15th foul from the United States. That is why Serbia

:59:50.:59:51.

are at the line here. Only three minutes left. Kyle Lowry.

:59:52.:00:24.

And other foul. And other two shots at the basket as well. It has gone

:00:25.:00:31.

the United States' way. It is so difficult to tell! I know exactly

:00:32.:00:36.

what you mean. The arms are wrapped up. Burke of which takes the dive,

:00:37.:00:48.

which is what you're told to do. -- Bircevic. The referee has to make a

:00:49.:00:55.

judgment call, who does he think had more grip on the other? Cousins

:00:56.:01:05.

makes the second. Three minutes to play.

:01:06.:01:21.

The ball went over the back line. It is an unusual mistake because

:01:22.:01:28.

usually they are so aware of what is going on and they communicate really

:01:29.:01:29.

well. Jimmy Butler is cutting through the

:01:30.:01:44.

middle while Kevin Durant shoots across. Cousins tried to make room.

:01:45.:01:47.

Butler picked up the loose ball. A great hassle, two Serbians going

:01:48.:02:00.

for it. That is a foul, Simonovic with his

:02:01.:02:38.

hands in the air. Defensive display from Serbia. We saw them against

:02:39.:02:42.

Australia, they are giving the United States really tough time.

:02:43.:02:50.

They are so aware of what the possibilities are, when the player

:02:51.:02:56.

loses his dribble, they pounce on it. They know what the possible path

:02:57.:03:05.

is. There was no avenue for George. He seems to have hurt his mouth. It

:03:06.:03:12.

is a physical, aggressive game, which is how they want to play.

:03:13.:03:21.

We have had 11 fouls so far in this 1st quarter. They have to pick up

:03:22.:03:30.

the pace if they want to match the group game. It has been a great

:03:31.:03:41.

contest so far. Serbia are pushing the United States. It is the

:03:42.:03:47.

question of whether they can last. They have lasted in previous games.

:03:48.:04:05.

Cousins to the ball, and Bogdanovich missed.

:04:06.:04:21.

Cousins laid it in. This is new from the United States, they have started

:04:22.:04:28.

to look for the inside pass. Cousins carried it, offensively he is more

:04:29.:04:33.

of a player and Jordan. And he has just proved it. The United States

:04:34.:04:37.

need this, movement. This will open up the Serbian defence. If they do

:04:38.:04:43.

it more often they will get more turns at the basket. The United

:04:44.:04:48.

States is two ahead. One minute to play in this quarter.

:04:49.:05:16.

At some of the players from the US women's team, who won the gold

:05:17.:05:19.

medal. He stepped out, the court is a bit

:05:20.:05:32.

smaller than the NBA, and the players who play in the NBA are not

:05:33.:05:37.

used to the smaller court, and step out on a number of occasions. It

:05:38.:05:42.

sounds like a blues song, stepping out. Theodicy

:05:43.:05:56.

is how he got that pass back, I thought it was a deflection, it was

:05:57.:06:04.

that good. He has the vision and ability to get the ball out in

:06:05.:06:09.

strange situations. He makes the second. 35 seconds to go.

:06:10.:06:19.

Kevin Durant finally hit the three. This is where the US has basically

:06:20.:06:26.

kept themselves in games. Eventually Kevin Durant, and a couple of other

:06:27.:06:36.

boys, Klay Thompson, they open up their game and it is hard to defend

:06:37.:06:40.

against them. They are pretty hard to stop.

:06:41.:06:51.

That was off at the buzzer. What a great 1st quarter at basketball.

:06:52.:06:57.

That gives the United States the first clear space they have had over

:06:58.:07:06.

Serbia. They lead 19 to 15. STUDIO: so, at the moment, the USA

:07:07.:07:12.

is still going for their 15th gold medal, but Serbia are running them

:07:13.:07:16.

close. We will be back for the second period in a couple of

:07:17.:07:20.

minutes. You can see the weather is still pretty windy. My ponytail is

:07:21.:07:25.

like a propeller. We have some helper is holding everything down.

:07:26.:07:30.

We will see how we get on. As we have been talking about it today, it

:07:31.:07:35.

is the last day of Olympic action. 12 medals on offer, some of them

:07:36.:07:39.

have been handed out. Let us bring you up to date. Kenya has won the

:07:40.:07:49.

last two London marathons, and to guided Olympic gold in the final

:07:50.:07:54.

athletics event. Callum Hawkins from Team GB finished ninth. Swiss rider

:07:55.:08:02.

Nino Schurter made it a full set of the Olympic medals in the mountain

:08:03.:08:12.

banking. Bronze in Beijing, silver in London and cold here. Grant

:08:13.:08:19.

Ferguson came 17. Shields won they women's middleweight. She won big

:08:20.:08:26.

gold last year and has not lost in the intervening four years. And as

:08:27.:08:33.

you saw, the huge underdogs Denmark upset the odds to win the men's's

:08:34.:08:41.

handball gold, to deny France third successive gold medal. This is their

:08:42.:08:43.

first handball medal of any colour for the men.

:08:44.:08:52.

USA national side has not been beaten since 2006, and they are

:08:53.:08:58.

going for their 15th gold medal. Here is the 2nd quarter.

:08:59.:09:18.

Bogdanovic Telegraph that. 21-15. It is not often that it is telegraphed

:09:19.:09:30.

by Serbia. It hit the front, and then there was a deliberate foul on

:09:31.:09:39.

Kyle Lowry to stop the fast break. That was his first personal. If I am

:09:40.:09:47.

reading the sideline chat correct, from the American bench, I don't

:09:48.:09:53.

think they always understand the fouls. In an NBA, you would get six,

:09:54.:09:57.

and here you get five. They are precious, you do not want to... He

:09:58.:10:07.

just got another, see what I mean? Usually gets into that, he is so

:10:08.:10:13.

aggressive, and plays in the area where you commit fouls. Every foul

:10:14.:10:22.

is precious. He has got very quick hands, and wants to use them to poke

:10:23.:10:31.

the ball away. This is the way the United States want to play the game.

:10:32.:10:38.

Klay Thompson comes in. If they're outside shooters get fired, and Klay

:10:39.:10:45.

Thompson really starts fighting, they could get away. He is a good

:10:46.:10:56.

outside shooter. DeMar DeRozan has gone. He does not play much

:10:57.:11:02.

generally. We saw against Spain, the amount of technical fouls that were

:11:03.:11:05.

called. If you start arguing the case for too long, you'll get it

:11:06.:11:10.

cold against you. It is one of the things that the coaches need to

:11:11.:11:17.

stress. That was tipped away, then off. In the NBA, players are used to

:11:18.:11:25.

the referees, and vice versa, they can say a certain amount of stuff as

:11:26.:11:31.

long as they are not showing them up, basically. Here, they can get

:11:32.:11:34.

very sensitive. That is just the way that they referee the game, and you

:11:35.:11:37.

have to understand that and play accordingly. Yes, we know it, and we

:11:38.:11:45.

knew it coming into the tournament, and everyone coming into

:11:46.:11:48.

international basketball knows it. George was partially blocked. Kyle

:11:49.:11:55.

Lowry stall that one. Cousins didn't go either, and he gets the global.

:11:56.:12:08.

-- foul. Kalinic's reaction was to eat his shirt. If it keeps

:12:09.:12:14.

rebinding, they will get chances and eventually the basket. Kalinic's

:12:15.:12:20.

frustration was because Serbia could not get the rebound. If you give the

:12:21.:12:23.

US that many chances, something bad will happen. They did well in the

:12:24.:12:29.

1st quarter, to give away so many rebounds and keep the United States

:12:30.:12:32.

low scoring, but you cannot keep doing that.

:12:33.:12:46.

He wants people under the basket and a cut down the middle, that is what

:12:47.:13:11.

it looks like. Klay Thompson knocks it away from Mac fan. We have seen

:13:12.:13:25.

this before. He is really smart, he knows what he's doing. And he wants

:13:26.:13:31.

keep them on their game plan, and focus on it. That is how they did it

:13:32.:13:35.

in the group game. Do not worry about the score too much, just keep

:13:36.:13:37.

doing what you're good at. I'm surprised we have not seen as

:13:38.:13:44.

much of Nikola Jokic. He has to go for a smaller, quicker

:13:45.:14:06.

man. A brilliant pass, brilliantly done,

:14:07.:14:27.

he looked to Mavrovic and then set the bounds pass. -- mark of which.

:14:28.:14:41.

It looks like nothing is on, and then it is on. Another long-range

:14:42.:14:52.

three, makes it 28 - 17. The United States look more fired up than in

:14:53.:14:55.

the group stage. When Kevin Durant hits a three, he does not always

:14:56.:14:57.

celebrate like that. Markovic gets a good look and hit a

:14:58.:15:17.

tree. Serbia have just got to keep doing that. If you keep playing that

:15:18.:15:25.

game, you will keep getting baskets. Durant, he wants another one. And he

:15:26.:15:31.

hits another one. 31-20. He's picked it up now. He had a quiet semifinal,

:15:32.:15:36.

but he's got the hard hand for the United States. Markovic, and it is a

:15:37.:15:45.

steal. Durant stuffs it back. That was always going to be the job for

:15:46.:15:49.

Serbia. If one of those stars really turned it on, and Kevin Durant is

:15:50.:15:53.

now, the United States could get out of reach. Durant is that way before

:15:54.:16:02.

the pass. When it comes right to him and he stuffs it through. The United

:16:03.:16:06.

States would have looked at Serbia and seen the moves that they do. The

:16:07.:16:10.

players have cottoned on to that and now they're taking advantage of

:16:11.:16:15.

that. You talked about before how Serbia can be so difficult the

:16:16.:16:20.

second time round. They've had a look. The United States have done

:16:21.:16:23.

the same thing with the Serbs. This time around, they don't want to make

:16:24.:16:29.

the same mistake. Just under two macro minutes gone in the 2nd

:16:30.:16:33.

quarter. The US have increased the lead to 33. Serbia are having their

:16:34.:16:39.

second time-out of this quarter just to staunch the momentum. They know

:16:40.:16:47.

how to use the time-out just as good as anyone does. And Kevin Durant

:16:48.:16:51.

issue deny this, I don't know what you can do to stop him. The American

:16:52.:16:58.

team is built primarily on the fact that they know how to shoot. If Klay

:16:59.:17:02.

Thompson starts shooting like that... Durant is taking them from

:17:03.:17:08.

beyond the NBA strike which is about a foot and a half farther out than

:17:09.:17:19.

the international strike. It's hard. Bogdanovic has a good look. He

:17:20.:17:25.

misses. Serbia are still playing well. Their movement is so

:17:26.:17:28.

impressive. They are orchestrating things, knowing who to make the past

:17:29.:17:35.

two. It's great to watch. A coach's job is to make sure his players know

:17:36.:17:40.

how to get the good shots. Serbia are still getting good shots. It is

:17:41.:17:45.

the player's job to make those shots. The coach must get the

:17:46.:17:49.

players on who can make them. Jordan with the rebound, and the fall

:17:50.:17:55.

which... Covering his head with his shirt, is Kalinic. In frustration.

:17:56.:18:06.

That is the fourth full Serbia. But the big problem. Now the question is

:18:07.:18:15.

does Jokic come in as a forward? He's got no choice now. Still six

:18:16.:18:19.

minutes to go and he is already on the edge of fouling out. That is

:18:20.:18:27.

tough for Serbia. Similar pitch comes in instead. He is a smaller

:18:28.:18:28.

forward. -- Simonovic. Perhaps they can annoy DeAndre

:18:29.:18:49.

Jordan. Serbia will do everything they can to try and put him off his

:18:50.:19:02.

game. You just saw the replay. Has he been called for something? It's

:19:03.:19:17.

hard to tell. Similar pitch -- Simonovic has just come in the game.

:19:18.:19:27.

That one, put through. George got more of the ball than he did. Points

:19:28.:19:34.

to George. That one was what they call the foul. That surprises. That

:19:35.:19:41.

surprises me, too, because it looks like that just got a piece of the

:19:42.:19:52.

ball. It is an Raduljica. I can see the fall, he comes across the farm.

:19:53.:19:58.

Watch George's hand. I thought that was a foul, actually. He hit the

:19:59.:20:05.

elbow and held him off. It looked like he hit the ball. Raduljica,

:20:06.:20:13.

treading a fine line like usually does. He is on three personal fouls

:20:14.:20:19.

already. The US wanted a time-out because they were getting a little

:20:20.:20:22.

bit sloppy. The thing that players want in any basketball, all they ask

:20:23.:20:26.

in any sport from the referee is consistency. They want to know what

:20:27.:20:31.

is a foul and what isn't. What you can get away with, and what you

:20:32.:20:32.

can't. No matter how smart you are, there

:20:33.:21:10.

is no way to stop it. The coach has his assistant coach doing the job as

:21:11.:21:15.

well. He is an incredibly smart player as well. I think that is

:21:16.:21:17.

probably why the coach appreciates the work that he does because he

:21:18.:21:21.

realises how important that is on the court. Irving at the line. Makes

:21:22.:21:37.

the first. Jordan is still puzzled about his fall. He gets puzzled a

:21:38.:21:44.

lot. He comes back, and he's basically deducing it, asking if

:21:45.:21:49.

someone could tell him what he did. 35-22, just under six minutes to go

:21:50.:21:53.

in the 2nd quarter. Markovic brings it up for Serbia. Raduljica on the

:21:54.:22:02.

far post. He stays with three fouls. His team take it out to Markowitz.

:22:03.:22:06.

It goes in and out and Cousins gets the rebound.

:22:07.:22:15.

He has found the sweet spot. 28-22. Durant was well behind, get the

:22:16.:22:28.

easy. Markovic misses. Right now it's a little tight. There are so

:22:29.:22:33.

desperate to get back basket. Raduljica has fouled by Irving. You

:22:34.:22:43.

can't defend this, it's impossible. He is just figured. When he gets on

:22:44.:22:49.

a roll... Wow. I think he's going to join the Golden State Warriors. He

:22:50.:22:56.

will be flying for sure. Thompson and Durant breading the floor. Shots

:22:57.:23:02.

off, Cousins with the rebound. Up to a Irving.

:23:03.:23:12.

Irving, Cousins and in. Serbia have to improve. If they can't shoot, the

:23:13.:23:25.

United States will keep going. He notices the path went off of

:23:26.:23:29.

Cousins' foot and Serbia will keep possession. Watch Irving here, just

:23:30.:23:33.

dribbling through traffic and then he has the bounced past two Cousins,

:23:34.:23:40.

Cousins takes it off the glass. Jordan has got a different range. A

:23:41.:23:46.

great range. Our director has discovered that. Simonovic can't get

:23:47.:23:52.

the long want to fall. Cousins clears the board and Irving brings

:23:53.:23:57.

it up again. Past Bogdanovic, into the corner. Thompson, when he gets

:23:58.:24:02.

to spread those feet a little and get that square position, he doesn't

:24:03.:24:09.

miss. The US is now up by 21 points. George would like to take a

:24:10.:24:13.

time-out, I think, but he can't. That's what they need. Finally,

:24:14.:24:21.

Simonovic for three. They need a couple of good defensive blows and a

:24:22.:24:27.

couple of threes to get back within striking distance of the US which is

:24:28.:24:30.

where they were when the 1st quarter ended. Do and trying to spin around

:24:31.:24:36.

kudos that. I'm not sure why he had to throw that one around. -- trying

:24:37.:24:51.

to spin around Teodosic. Bogdanovich tried to get a bit of room.

:24:52.:24:58.

Look at that difference. It just makes Serbia's job harder. Not

:24:59.:25:08.

impossible, just harder. Thompson is off on the three, but Cousins keeps

:25:09.:25:13.

the rebound. Irving for three. Thompson tips it in and misses.

:25:14.:25:18.

Serbia trying to run it. Simonovic, he misses. Cousins gets the rebound

:25:19.:25:25.

to Irving. The game, the Americans have got multiple shots. Eventually,

:25:26.:25:30.

they do. That is the issue for Serbia. Durant to the basket. Jordan

:25:31.:25:41.

with the move. Jovic turns to his team-mates failing, who is going to

:25:42.:25:45.

stop him? Who should have been there? Serbia went down by a similar

:25:46.:25:54.

score against the United States. But they need to make more shots here.

:25:55.:25:59.

They cannot keep missing like this. Simonovic has just taken to threes.

:26:00.:26:04.

They have both been in the basket and come out. A good backpass by

:26:05.:26:13.

Bogdanovic. But now Bogdanovic doesn't take V3. Can't get it to

:26:14.:26:17.

drop. Jovic puts it in off the glass. The leader can be as great as

:26:18.:26:24.

it is. It's been great, but you have to finish it. They really have to

:26:25.:26:28.

put away their shots. At least they got that one in in the end. Durant

:26:29.:26:35.

just slowing things down. Cousins with a little screen. He drops it

:26:36.:26:39.

for Cousins. Cousins keeps control of the ball, goes to the hoop and

:26:40.:26:48.

the foul will be by Bogdanovich. In this much, physically, here is

:26:49.:26:59.

Durant. Good luck! He is so long. Six foot nine, might be a little bit

:27:00.:27:03.

taller, but he has got long legs and long arms. He is. They nicknamed him

:27:04.:27:16.

With the Tarantula. You can see why. He's an extraordinary athlete.

:27:17.:27:21.

They're looking comfortable on the bench. The Serbian team will keep

:27:22.:27:24.

fighting. No matter what the score is, they will keep plugging away.

:27:25.:27:31.

Cousins makes the second. It is a 20 point gain, 47-27. Just under two

:27:32.:27:39.

minutes to play in the first. Cousins goes out, Conor Langton it

:27:40.:27:44.

comes in for him. Anthony will, in effect, be the centre Mark. --

:27:45.:27:51.

Carmelo Anthony comes in for him. With Cousins and Jordan out, guess

:27:52.:27:56.

what happens to the middle of the court? Teodosic takes advantage of

:27:57.:28:03.

it. He drives the middle. Durant is just slowing things down.

:28:04.:28:12.

I think the United States are just sitting back and watching Kevin

:28:13.:28:25.

Durant. Clear out and let do it! Teodosic Falls, and he loses the

:28:26.:28:35.

ball. -- clear out and let Cady do it.

:28:36.:28:41.

Look at Cousins, 12 rebounds in the first half. DeAndre Jordan was

:28:42.:28:52.

rebounding very well. With that and the poor shooting so far from Serbia

:28:53.:28:56.

it is looking good for the United States. And Jordan has only got

:28:57.:29:01.

four. Is that all? It sounds like more. 16th and the two centres.

:29:02.:29:09.

Carmelo picking that up. To be honest, I would like to get someone

:29:10.:29:18.

to challenge Carmelo more. Jovic is my man. Good ball movement, all

:29:19.:29:28.

around the outside. We've seen that one! Repetition is boring. 52-29.

:29:29.:29:38.

That is the difference. Serbia do the same mood and missed the three.

:29:39.:29:42.

The United States with the same move get Durant to hit it. Good rebound

:29:43.:29:52.

by stomach. -- by Vladimir Stimac. That will be the end of the first

:29:53.:30:00.

half. After a close 1st quarter the US has outscored Serbia 33-14.

:30:01.:30:10.

Before the Olympic Games started, the USA were 16 to one onto the team

:30:11.:30:17.

there gold medal, and I do not think he would bet against them at this

:30:18.:30:22.

stage. Serbia have a lot of work to do. We will rejoin that match in

:30:23.:30:29.

just a few minutes. Let us turn our attention to boxing. As we know, Joe

:30:30.:30:35.

Joyce was bidding to emulate his great friend and sparring partner

:30:36.:30:38.

Anthony Joshua and win a gold medal before he turns professional after

:30:39.:30:44.

these Olympic Games. Today he was taking on France's Yoka. Let us go

:30:45.:30:49.

to the start of the second round. Joyce springs out of the corner.

:30:50.:30:58.

Yoka was unable to respond. A terrific start to the second round

:30:59.:31:19.

by Joe Joyce. We talk about the movement and punching being an

:31:20.:31:26.

attribute of Yoka. Joe Joyce set a pace that many find difficult to

:31:27.:31:32.

live with. The French man is blocking the punches. We have to

:31:33.:31:38.

give him credit. There are punches getting through. It is a better work

:31:39.:31:46.

great from Joyce. But he has two target the body.

:31:47.:31:54.

The rivalry stands at one apiece. Joe Joyce prevailed last summer to

:31:55.:32:02.

take the European games gold. Tony Yoka got his revenge at the

:32:03.:32:05.

semifinal stage of the World Championships. We spoke about this

:32:06.:32:13.

earlier, he has to move his head and block the shot.

:32:14.:32:22.

He cannot afford to get her many space. Joyce has to work harder. He

:32:23.:32:32.

has allowed Yoka that bit of space to work.

:32:33.:32:40.

Anthony Joshua spoke of the respect that generally exists between

:32:41.:32:47.

Olympic boxers, but in the media exchanges, and it may have been lost

:32:48.:32:52.

in translation... He is hurting, that was a good shot.

:32:53.:32:59.

Yoka in press conferences said that he does not regard Joe Joyce is a

:33:00.:33:23.

smart boxer. I do not know if that was lost in translation, he said

:33:24.:33:27.

this would be easier for him, but Joe Joyce has other ideas. He is

:33:28.:33:34.

demonstrating his physical prowess and his... He has to keep it going.

:33:35.:33:45.

Yoka is breathing through an open mouth. Joe Joyce came back with a

:33:46.:33:52.

triple right-hand. Two to the head, two to the body. That is Tony Yoka's

:33:53.:34:02.

fiance, and his friends. They do not look very convinced. It was good in

:34:03.:34:09.

terms of Joyce's effort and work great. This chap came back. Joyce

:34:10.:34:16.

targeting the body. They know it is close. Joe Joyce is setting a

:34:17.:34:23.

fantastic piece. He just avoided the shot coming back.

:34:24.:34:32.

Across the board for Yoka. He is very fortunate, the Frenchman.

:34:33.:34:40.

Going into the final round. Joe Joyce needs a good round to get back

:34:41.:34:53.

on parity from the judges. Into the third and final round. The Olympic

:34:54.:34:57.

superheavyweight final. Joe Joyce, in blue, the reigning World

:34:58.:35:00.

Championship bronze medallist looking to emulate the

:35:01.:35:03.

accomplishments of Audley Harrison and Anthony Joshua by claiming

:35:04.:35:05.

Olympic superheavyweight gold. But Yoka swept the second round

:35:06.:35:16.

unanimously on the scorecard. The judges preferred the single shots

:35:17.:35:22.

from Yoka. They will say that a lot of Joyce's punches were hitting

:35:23.:35:24.

gloves and elbows. The volume is coming from the man in

:35:25.:35:47.

blue, looking to overturn the two-point deficit. That is difficult

:35:48.:35:52.

to do, so the most straightforward thing is to stop this man in the

:35:53.:35:57.

third and final round. A real British Bulldog spirit. He is going

:35:58.:36:01.

for it. He is targeting the body. Joe Joyce has responded with punches

:36:02.:36:28.

to the body. Yoka, it takes a few seconds to recover. A fit man, the

:36:29.:36:32.

Frenchman. But he is tired. He is enjoying it.

:36:33.:36:41.

He is trying to distract Joe Joyce by doing the shovel. -- shuffle.

:36:42.:36:54.

Joyce has to find more quality here. Ten out of ten for effort.

:36:55.:37:04.

But Yoka is blocking a lot of the shots. Joe Joyce looking to find the

:37:05.:37:10.

finishing shot. Tony Yoka erecting the barricades.

:37:11.:37:22.

Clubs, forearms and elbows. Joe Joyce has defined the punch of a

:37:23.:37:24.

lifetime. A terrific atmosphere here, both men

:37:25.:37:42.

in pursuit of top spot. The ten second clapper is barely audible.

:37:43.:37:52.

Yoka having premature celebrations. Tony Yoka, he is going to add

:37:53.:38:02.

Olympic gold to World Championship gold, but he will know that has been

:38:03.:38:10.

in a fight against a man who gave it absolutely everything. He took his

:38:11.:38:14.

share of the first-round, but this man aged it 2-1. Yoka was unanimous

:38:15.:38:22.

in round two. I think Yoka was fortunate to take two of the scores.

:38:23.:38:27.

It was a good round from Joe Joyce. Very lucky indeed. The judges will

:38:28.:38:33.

say that a lot of the punches were to the arms and elbows, but you have

:38:34.:38:37.

to give him ten out of ten for effort. He could not have done

:38:38.:38:42.

anything else in terms of what he put on. A fantastic display. But

:38:43.:38:44.

Yoka will get it. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner, by

:38:45.:39:01.

split decision, and Olympic champion...

:39:02.:39:13.

In the red corner... Tony Yoka! So, the reigning world champion becomes

:39:14.:39:27.

the Olympic champion, with a split decision victory over Great

:39:28.:39:31.

Britain's Joe Joyce, and takes France's second gold medal of the

:39:32.:39:35.

boxing tournament. The other was won by the women he is due to marry here

:39:36.:39:45.

in real -- Rio at the end of the games. He got the youth Olympic gold

:39:46.:39:52.

six years ago. He deserves -- Joe Joyce deserves immense credit. Beer

:39:53.:39:58.

is the Olympic lightweight champion. And her husband to be draped in the

:39:59.:40:04.

French flag. What a wonderful moment. Reigning world champions,

:40:05.:40:11.

being crowned Olympic champions. Joe Joyce deserves immense credit,

:40:12.:40:16.

battling his way with her brilliant performance to the second position

:40:17.:40:20.

on the podium. He gave it everything he had in pursuit of Olympic gold.

:40:21.:40:31.

Best managers ahead. -- this man edged ahead. Joe Joyce becomes Great

:40:32.:40:36.

Britain's first silver medallist for Britain in this superheavyweight

:40:37.:40:45.

division. Every time they enter the superheavyweight tournament, they

:40:46.:40:49.

win a medal. You can be enormously proud of the

:40:50.:40:57.

performance, but devastating to come up short. Yes, the last bout of the

:40:58.:41:03.

night, the last medal for the Olympic Games of 2016, I thought the

:41:04.:41:08.

gold medal was mine. I just have to watch it back to see where I went

:41:09.:41:13.

wrong, if I went wrong. What did you make of the contest, Anthony? I have

:41:14.:41:22.

never seen a heavyweight throw so many punches in a fight before. We

:41:23.:41:26.

have been talking about counterpunching and aggression, Joe

:41:27.:41:30.

Joyce was in making the punch, and there is no way that you can block

:41:31.:41:35.

those shots, if you know what I'm saying. For me, here's the Olympic

:41:36.:41:40.

champion. Everyone here was cheering him on. In spirit he is champion. He

:41:41.:41:44.

has done so well. I am so proud at what he has achieved. The sky is the

:41:45.:41:52.

limit. He is a credit to the sport. Lovely words. Going into the final

:41:53.:41:56.

round, did you know that you had to stop him? Yes, he let me know that I

:41:57.:42:04.

was down, but I was landing shots on him for the last round and maybe two

:42:05.:42:09.

eye-catching shots, and all throughout it I was peppering him

:42:10.:42:14.

with shots, going through his guard, and it was just the odd shot. What

:42:15.:42:26.

is your opinion? We thought it was very tight, but the general

:42:27.:42:30.

consensus was that we thought you just nicked it. But that is the

:42:31.:42:34.

nature of the sport. Despite the verdict, how proud are you of the

:42:35.:42:38.

way you have performed? I give it my all. I got the training rate, many

:42:39.:42:45.

thanks to Fraser Clark, coming out and helping the spa -- sparring. I

:42:46.:42:55.

would not be as sharp without him. Obviously big Josh was a big help.

:42:56.:43:04.

Just disappointed. Silver medal is not that bad, but I wanted the gold

:43:05.:43:09.

medal and expected it. But it was not to be. You have been a gold

:43:10.:43:15.

medal performer for us. Thank you for providing such fantastic

:43:16.:43:17.

entertainment as well. Well done.

:43:18.:43:23.

STUDIO: he might be disappointed, but still a huge credit to Team GB.

:43:24.:43:28.

There is Joe Joyce collecting his silver medal a short while ago. That

:43:29.:43:35.

takes Britain's medal count to 67, the most successful Olympic Games

:43:36.:43:40.

that Britain have ever had. 27 gold medals, 23 silver medals and 17

:43:41.:43:48.

bronze medals. There is still one gold medal up for grabs. Who will

:43:49.:43:52.

take those final honours? It is looking good for the USA. Let us

:43:53.:43:58.

rejoin Serbia and the USA in the basketball gold medal match.

:43:59.:44:02.

Serbia has an up -- uphill battle. They ran away with the 2nd quarter

:44:03.:44:15.

and have opened up a 23 point lead. -- the USA ran away with it in the

:44:16.:44:25.

2nd quarter. It is currently 52-29. The simple message from the United

:44:26.:44:29.

States would have been to give the ball to Kevin Durant. And the simple

:44:30.:44:33.

message for Serbia is stop Kevin Durant. That is what is going on, he

:44:34.:44:38.

is completely leading the way. If the United States keep firing, he

:44:39.:44:42.

will bring it home. -- that is the message for Serbia.

:44:43.:44:53.

Kevin Durant hit five of eight from the 3-point line, and has 24 points

:44:54.:45:04.

in the first half. Serbia have to improve their shooting. Offensively

:45:05.:45:06.

things are going OK. DeMarcus Cousins had 11 points and

:45:07.:45:17.

12 rebounds for the Americans. Klay Thompson is the only person

:45:18.:45:24.

otherwise over four, with seven. Teodosic is the man for Serbia. He

:45:25.:45:29.

should have about ten assists by now, but they didn't finish it off.

:45:30.:45:42.

Raduljica has three fouls. Anthony hits a three. 55-29. Vladimir Stimac

:45:43.:45:56.

is the other big man. Andrei Jordan -- DeAndre Jordan is guarding him.

:45:57.:46:11.

Good pass to Djokovic. Vladimir Stimac had his back to it. I think

:46:12.:46:15.

he took his eye off the block, he only had about one second to go. He

:46:16.:46:21.

was really casual. Anthony and Durant. A fadeaway from about 22.

:46:22.:46:33.

Teodosic comes down with the ball. Bogdanovich, again he's looking to

:46:34.:46:40.

work. Jordan watching the cutters come Bogdanovich back into Stimac.

:46:41.:46:55.

Very casual, knocked it out of his hands. Right now, the Serbians are

:46:56.:47:00.

very confused. They're looking slow. They need to pick up the pace here.

:47:01.:47:06.

Only two on the clock, it will be a bastion of catch and shoot. Kyrie

:47:07.:47:18.

Irving was involved in a tie-up as they got down the ball. With a

:47:19.:47:23.

minute and a half gone, joke it comes out. -- Djokovic. Kalinic is

:47:24.:47:38.

on four personal fouls as well. Irving with the spin. Misses the

:47:39.:47:43.

shot. Jordan goes for rebound. Fights his way out. Quickly up to

:47:44.:47:54.

Markovic. Open look. He misses, and Irving misses. That was a little bit

:47:55.:48:00.

longer than used to. Stimac and Jordan getting tied up behind the

:48:01.:48:04.

ball, but no calls from the referees. Anthony, that was way off

:48:05.:48:15.

from the outside. Here comes Serbia. Teodosic hits. This is how you do

:48:16.:48:25.

it. Right now, if I was that coach, I would be saying I don't want

:48:26.:48:28.

dribbling displays or anyone to compete with Kevin Durant. I want

:48:29.:48:32.

you guys to keep playing basketball. Don't let them back in the game.

:48:33.:48:37.

That is a nice pass, Anthony can't finish. They all want to be the

:48:38.:48:42.

scorers, they all want to be the number one player. That club teams

:48:43.:48:47.

in the NBA, that is sometimes what they are. This is a different side.

:48:48.:48:50.

You have to share the responsibility. We saw Anthony

:48:51.:48:56.

fouling. Funnelling through the post with

:48:57.:49:12.

Stimac. This spin, the fall will be on Irving.

:49:13.:49:27.

Irving with the foul. Bogdanovic had an easy jumper. Stimac's shot was

:49:28.:49:37.

blocked by Thompson. Durant, varies but unintentional intentional full

:49:38.:49:44.

to stop Durant going all the way to the hoop by himself. That is the

:49:45.:49:48.

race there go to the United States. They are happy to foul them to stop

:49:49.:49:52.

them going all the way when the United States have the ball. It is

:49:53.:49:56.

only the third personal foul for Teodosic. Watching him pass up a ten

:49:57.:50:02.

foot jumper, you get the feeling they are feeling very tight. They

:50:03.:50:06.

haven't been making the open shots either. Klay Thompson drives. He

:50:07.:50:15.

goes to the hoop with the left-handed lay-up and puts it in.

:50:16.:50:19.

Serbia is certainly having to contend with the three. By coming

:50:20.:50:23.

out further and opening up space underneath. Markovic drove to the

:50:24.:50:28.

left because Jordan was standing there. Teodosic with the fade away

:50:29.:50:33.

misses. It comes off to a Irving and Irving brings it a crosscourt to

:50:34.:50:38.

Durant you got rid of it quickly. Klay Thompson's shot is off. Anthony

:50:39.:50:44.

can't get it to drop. Stimac with the rebound. Slowing down, the

:50:45.:50:57.

movement is not as crisp as it was earlier in the game. It has all gone

:50:58.:51:03.

for Teodosic as well. He is trying to do everything. He is the focal

:51:04.:51:06.

point of the offence but he needs movement around him. That is four on

:51:07.:51:21.

Kyrie Irving. He started well, but he's gone off the pace a bit in the

:51:22.:51:26.

last few games. Kyrie Irving hasn't had the impact. That's because he's

:51:27.:51:29.

got to allow the players to have a leading role. If I'm Serbia, I want

:51:30.:51:35.

to put the ball in Bogdanovic's hands, try to get him some shots. It

:51:36.:51:42.

is confidence building for Serbia just to get the baskets because they

:51:43.:51:46.

weren't shooting well in the first half. Irving, and Bogdanovic is

:51:47.:51:52.

following up on him. Here it is to Jordan. This is the kind of thing,

:51:53.:51:59.

great movement before Thompson missing a three. But if they keep

:52:00.:52:02.

playing like that they're pretty much unstoppable because the players

:52:03.:52:11.

are so good individually. Raduljica is back in the game now. Durant

:52:12.:52:21.

pulls back and banks begin off the glass. 61-35 halfway through the 3rd

:52:22.:52:27.

quarter. Serbia had a massive 3rd quarter against the United States in

:52:28.:52:30.

the group stage, but they need to get a lower margin. At the moment

:52:31.:52:36.

it's just too far at this point. Markovic misses the hook shot.

:52:37.:52:42.

Jordan to Lowry, loudly to Durant. Durant to Thompson. The United

:52:43.:52:50.

States are in their stride now, though full of confidence. Their

:52:51.:52:56.

passing, moving. The Serbian defence intensity has dropped remarkably.

:52:57.:53:09.

Serbia have called the time-out. The leaders 29 points. The US is up.

:53:10.:53:16.

What a contrast to the bronze medal game. They're just getting tied to

:53:17.:53:39.

what has been the end of a really long campaign. United States

:53:40.:53:42.

victory. Nothing gets too tired quicker than watching another team.

:53:43.:53:53.

A lot of people are looking at home saying, if DeAndre Jordan can do

:53:54.:54:06.

that, why can't I? If I wear the US volleyball coach I would be going to

:54:07.:54:09.

Jordan and failing, I think you have a future in this sport! -- and

:54:10.:54:11.

sailing. I think he's done well. Some changes in the line-up for

:54:12.:54:26.

Serbia, trying to ignite some offence. 64-37. A clever play by

:54:27.:54:34.

Nedovic, that is what Serbia need more of. Lowry is overplayed, he

:54:35.:54:41.

gets the past to Durant. It is nice plain Nedovic because you

:54:42.:54:53.

know Jordan is coming out so you have to put the extra arc on the

:54:54.:54:57.

ball. He takes these can fit and drops it through the hoop. It is

:54:58.:55:02.

deflating for Jordan who things, yes, I've got! But, you don't.

:55:03.:55:08.

Serbia are working world defensively again. Cousins, who offensive

:55:09.:55:15.

contribution has been big, looks more impressive but it takes away

:55:16.:55:18.

the intimidating effect that Jordan has when he's in the paint and

:55:19.:55:24.

defence. He was so important with that win over Spain. He really made

:55:25.:55:28.

a difference for the United States. Durant makes both shots. He has been

:55:29.:55:36.

unbelievable. Not even through the 3rd quarter yet. Thought about the

:55:37.:55:50.

shot, now drives, Macvan. He could almost see that one coming and the

:55:51.:55:55.

four would be on Bogdanovic. -- the foul would be on Spanovic. -- on

:55:56.:56:06.

Bogdanovic. They did some work on the way, Serbia have operated the

:56:07.:56:09.

offence and been able to take advantage of it. Not as much

:56:10.:56:19.

frustration from the United States as their first meeting. The 30 point

:56:20.:56:27.

lead will help! It will lower by frustration considerably. Less than

:56:28.:56:31.

four minutes to play in the 3rd quarter. The US is by 29. Lowry, he

:56:32.:56:42.

once Cousins to set the high. He gives it back to Cousins who goes

:56:43.:56:46.

back to ward the hoop. Kick it back out, there is the open corner.

:56:47.:56:53.

Simonovic not even attempting to stop that. It's too far out.

:56:54.:57:03.

Bogdanovic to Raduljica. Bogdanovic managing to keep it alive. There is

:57:04.:57:09.

still ten on the shot clock. The Serbian defensive intensity needs to

:57:10.:57:12.

be at its height right now. They need to get back into this game. It

:57:13.:57:16.

is the US that seemed to have upped their defensive intensity. When

:57:17.:57:23.

Anthony fouls Nedovic, you see he's got to protect the inside.

:57:24.:57:28.

Bogdanovic, the three does not go. Cousins will sit down and Lowry

:57:29.:57:32.

brings it up. A long passed on court to Anthony. Bogdanovic sleeping. I

:57:33.:57:38.

think he enjoys being on the bench more. I think he enjoys being on

:57:39.:57:43.

camera more! Unless he's really unaware. He knows the director is

:57:44.:57:49.

going to be following him. Nice pass. Good luck. Raduljica, he faced

:57:50.:57:58.

one time too many, then went and turned it in any way. The Serbian

:57:59.:58:07.

sisters sitting there in bewilderment. There is a steal.

:58:08.:58:20.

Serbia for to the very end in the group games. Here are just looks

:58:21.:58:23.

like it's getting away from them. That's a technical. Anthony simply

:58:24.:58:33.

called the ball and then laid it in. But he bounced it off his head to

:58:34.:58:39.

what the sideline. I guess he wouldn't get away with that. An

:58:40.:58:42.

interesting way of passing the ball to your opponent. The United States

:58:43.:58:50.

have come out in the 3rd quarter exactly the way they played in the

:58:51.:58:55.

second. Serbia are not even as good. They dropped the intensity. And

:58:56.:58:59.

they're shooting hasn't improved. It was about 30%. It's improved a

:59:00.:59:05.

little bit. They are free from 19. They just cannot keep up. -- they

:59:06.:59:16.

are three from 19. It's got to be something after Anthony. The players

:59:17.:59:24.

are aware. If you've seen any game of Olympic basketball up to here,

:59:25.:59:27.

you understand. As soon as you say something. Here is what we didn't

:59:28.:59:33.

see. If you do that, you get the key automatically. He's going to get the

:59:34.:59:40.

ball. Anthony, as I said, it went off his forehead. Kalinic, only

:59:41.:59:50.

yourself to blame. He got four personal fouls very quickly. We saw

:59:51.:59:59.

earlier lying on the floor, wanted a foul, didn't get it, so he literally

:00:00.:00:07.

spun around on the floor. We have seen one other. This was the third

:00:08.:00:11.

one. That pass was deflected away, it now comes Dan Jovic and he is

:00:12.:00:14.

fouled by Jimmy Butler first. This is frustrating for him. He came

:00:15.:00:32.

out playing well, exactly what you wanted him to do. Execution has been

:00:33.:00:43.

poor. The plan would like it was working earlier, if they had kept

:00:44.:00:46.

doing it and exiting it, it would have an close macro cousins knocked

:00:47.:00:50.

out of. -- executing it, it would have kept

:00:51.:01:13.

going. Nedovic could not take it the rest

:01:14.:01:33.

of the way. That went off a US fit. The ball stays with Serbia. What do

:01:34.:01:40.

they do? Try to isolate Kevin Durant from the ball? Switch to the zone

:01:41.:01:44.

that he will shoot over? Girl-macro whatever you do there is another

:01:45.:01:46.

problem created. That is the problem when you have a player of that

:01:47.:01:51.

calibre, he takes the game and controls it. You have got to just

:01:52.:01:55.

accept it and try to do the best you can. What we have seen is that

:01:56.:02:03.

they're outside shooting was not effective. If you try to adjust,

:02:04.:02:16.

something else will hurt. Exactly. He has been sensational win this

:02:17.:02:17.

game, Kevin Durant. The shooting has just not been good

:02:18.:02:34.

enough, without Kevin Durant it would still be the United States

:02:35.:02:38.

winning this game. The US defence has broken up the passing game, stop

:02:39.:02:43.

the red that Serbia had against Australia, where they were knocking

:02:44.:02:46.

down shots, but they were doing it because they were always passing it

:02:47.:02:50.

and getting good open shots. Even when they have been getting them,

:02:51.:02:54.

they missed them. Cousins will not miss that. Some crowd pleaser is!

:02:55.:03:09.

That will be a Serbian ball. You wonder how much is a confidence

:03:10.:03:18.

thing with the shooting. When you start missing two, three, four in a

:03:19.:03:22.

row, you're lacking confidence and then taking shots when you're not

:03:23.:03:26.

ready, and all these factors come into it. It is really tough. Talk

:03:27.:03:35.

about destroying confidence. Kevin Durant, his first three of the half,

:03:36.:03:38.

his second! And he misses both. And again it doesn't fall. Nedovic

:03:39.:03:46.

took it from end to end. That was the whistle. Kevin Durant

:03:47.:04:12.

trying to get a shot. Ashya King global. The coach has still not

:04:13.:04:21.

smiled. If they win, hopefully he will smile. It has been a great

:04:22.:04:29.

achievement, what they have done. He wants a time-out. He is considering

:04:30.:04:32.

what they do for the rest of the game. This is more important for

:04:33.:04:46.

Serbia. He needs to rile them up for the quarter. Did not look at the

:04:47.:04:50.

score, let us just do what we came here to do, the shots will start

:04:51.:04:51.

coming, and believe in yourself. He is the biggest motivator in the

:04:52.:05:25.

team, I think! They have had more dunks in this

:05:26.:05:36.

game than any previous United States team. That demonstrates the control

:05:37.:05:47.

they have over this. Sparked by the individual performance of Kevin

:05:48.:05:51.

Durant. Serbia has to play well, and the United States have to play less

:05:52.:06:01.

than their best. Serbia needed the perfect game, and it did not come.

:06:02.:06:30.

Serbia are working for more or less the last shot. They did not take it.

:06:31.:06:39.

I do not know what that was. It went off the backboard. Kyle Lowry wanted

:06:40.:06:46.

the three, but missed it. That was after the buzzer. Kevin Durant is

:06:47.:06:53.

laughing because he got it in! The clock is at zero. It was not

:06:54.:07:13.

far-off. STUDIO: this is meant to be a USA

:07:14.:07:19.

that are understrength, but it is looking good for them to secure the

:07:20.:07:23.

final medal of the Olympics. 11 gold medals have been handed out today.

:07:24.:07:25.

Let us bring you up to date. Kenya's Kipchoge has won the

:07:26.:07:47.

marathon, with Callum Hawkins coming 19th. Nino Schurter won the gold

:07:48.:08:01.

medal in the men's cross-country biking. George S fell just short --

:08:02.:08:09.

Joe Joyce Felder short of winning a gold medal against Tony Yoka, but

:08:10.:08:13.

the judges gave the Frenchman the division. Joyce goes home with

:08:14.:08:21.

silver. And the huge underdogs Denmark upset the odds to win the

:08:22.:08:32.

men's handball gold, and stop France getting their third successive

:08:33.:08:36.

title. This is the first medal for Denmark for the men's handball.

:08:37.:08:41.

There is one gold medal up for grabs. The USA have not been

:08:42.:08:46.

defeated since 2006. They are looking for the

:08:47.:08:50.

Serbia keep possession with 16 seconds on the shot clock. Serbia

:08:51.:09:11.

just have to keep going, not worry about this quarter. Just keep

:09:12.:09:16.

playing and do as well as you can. They have played brilliantly until

:09:17.:09:17.

this point. The position area was in the favour

:09:18.:09:27.

of the United States. -- possession. Desperation from Serbia, but it is

:09:28.:09:47.

great to see that they are fighting to the end. They need a miracle. It

:09:48.:09:57.

would. You need the United States to fall completely apart. And hitting

:09:58.:10:00.

all your shots. Cousins is back out for the last

:10:01.:10:06.

quarter. Kevin Durant misses the 3-point

:10:07.:10:18.

touch, and the US missed another. Jordan is doing the Babybird again!

:10:19.:10:47.

That is the third time. He did not realise there would be so many to do

:10:48.:10:48.

it with. Jordan telling them what he wants.

:10:49.:11:15.

Kevin Durant is coming off and celebrating with his team because he

:11:16.:11:20.

knows they are close now. A remarkable performance, Kevin

:11:21.:11:20.

Durant. George wanted this badly. The United States want to put on a

:11:21.:11:32.

show for the final quarter. He's an extraordinary player. They

:11:33.:11:48.

are just not finishing it off. I wonder how many assists he would

:11:49.:11:50.

have had if they had the shots. When it rains, it pours. And right

:11:51.:12:25.

now it is a typhoon, monsoon for Serbia. Cyclone hurricane in other

:12:26.:12:33.

areas. Teodosic has had a great Olympics. I would make him the point

:12:34.:12:41.

guard in my Olympic team. He has been magnificent for Serbia. It has

:12:42.:12:44.

been great to watch him play at this level. Not everyone gets to see him

:12:45.:12:49.

playing all the time in his league. And this man as well. I would have

:12:50.:12:58.

Pau Gasol centre. And the Argentinian at the power forward.

:12:59.:13:02.

The only question would be through the shooting guard would be. There

:13:03.:13:04.

are a lot of contenders. Bogdanovich was standing around. The

:13:05.:13:24.

other Bogdanovic might be a contender. Consistency is hard at

:13:25.:13:31.

the Olympic Games. It is tough, playing every couple of days, at

:13:32.:13:35.

high level with intensity. Even Kevin Durant had a couple of off

:13:36.:13:37.

days. It is tough. That is true. One of the Lithuanian players. Yes,

:13:38.:13:57.

they started so strongly. And the point guard from Argentina.

:13:58.:14:04.

Almost 40 point lead for the United States. DeMarcus Cousins has come

:14:05.:14:11.

off. It is one of those games where you

:14:12.:14:24.

get a player hitting the basket, and then the one who passed him the ball

:14:25.:14:26.

gets this herbal. -- the foul. The US has gone very cold now. Lowry

:14:27.:14:51.

misses. I think the thing is Serbia haven't really improved their

:14:52.:14:55.

shooting since that quarter, so they can afford to go cold. That hit the

:14:56.:15:05.

umpire. Another soft floater. Less than seven minutes to go. 84-47 to

:15:06.:15:15.

the US. One of the great mysteries the US is how Draymond Green hasn't

:15:16.:15:27.

came out, he's still out there now. It is Green who is such a big part

:15:28.:15:32.

of the Golden State Warriors this last season, he has not got close.

:15:33.:15:39.

To play with Klay Thompson as one would have made a lot of sense from

:15:40.:15:46.

18 perspective. -- from a team perspective. We still haven't seen

:15:47.:15:53.

Barnes as well. He has had very limited time here. You suspect he

:15:54.:15:57.

will come on towards the end. You hope everybody gets a chance in a

:15:58.:16:01.

game like this. It's gotten a bit sloppy, as you can tell from the

:16:02.:16:06.

common Terry! We have got a bit more relaxed as well. It is not edge of

:16:07.:16:09.

your seat stuff, it is really showtime. It's almost like Serbia

:16:10.:16:16.

are just running out the clock. The US are trying to put up as many

:16:17.:16:20.

points as they can. Or as spectacularly as they can. DeRozan

:16:21.:16:23.

with the nice jumper. Lowry takes the rebound. Lowry

:16:24.:16:43.

coming down the middle. There is the hoop the crowd wanted. DeRozan did

:16:44.:16:47.

it with the left hand! Just tapped it in. I think they're just excited

:16:48.:16:52.

DeAndre Jordan got to do another move. It wasn't even that good

:16:53.:16:59.

though! The benchers going crazy. There's the finish. It looks like

:17:00.:17:06.

Jordan paid for his ticket to watch the game. He's acting like a fan!

:17:07.:17:11.

It's great to see, he adding plenty of entertainment from the bench.

:17:12.:17:15.

Look how excited the coaches are on the bench. This is the question now

:17:16.:17:20.

for the United States, moving forward, it looks like they will

:17:21.:17:24.

hold on here. The Serbian coach is still trying to rally his team which

:17:25.:17:30.

is great to see. For the United States, it is moving forward. I

:17:31.:17:34.

think they have a great coach coming in. Antonio Spurs, a brilliant

:17:35.:17:40.

basketball mind. How does he change this team? They haven't dominated,

:17:41.:17:44.

even though the dominating in the gold-medal match, they haven't been

:17:45.:17:48.

as dominant as people would expect. My point would be that they didn't

:17:49.:17:55.

play great defence for most. This has been their best defensive game

:17:56.:18:00.

by far. When the goal was tight, they were disrupting passing rights.

:18:01.:18:08.

Often in many games it has consisted of people standing around watching

:18:09.:18:12.

people shoot threes. They haven't been the excellent 3-point shooting

:18:13.:18:15.

team that they were supposed to be. No one has really been a consistent

:18:16.:18:21.

driller of 3-point shots. Those are the things they will try to work on.

:18:22.:18:28.

Think about it, the presence inside has been good from Jordan and

:18:29.:18:33.

Cousins. But do you try to go with a true power forward, for example? Do

:18:34.:18:39.

you try to go with two Biggs? What do you count on the fact that teams

:18:40.:18:43.

that have two talented big men like Serbia aren't going to put them both

:18:44.:18:47.

out at the same time if one has to defend Carmelo Anthony or Kevin

:18:48.:18:54.

Durant away from the basket. Serbia have shown that if you work as a

:18:55.:18:58.

group, their players are national superstars, but they have shown that

:18:59.:19:02.

if you work as the group, if you have a good setup and have prepared

:19:03.:19:06.

well with good coaching and some smart players, you can take it far.

:19:07.:19:11.

They haven't done it in this one, but they certainly took the United

:19:12.:19:14.

States all the way in the group stages. If more teams start playing

:19:15.:19:17.

like that then they will really push the United States. It is not the

:19:18.:19:21.

dominant basketball force that this game is barely showing. What we also

:19:22.:19:27.

need to remember is that in the basketball countries, the former

:19:28.:19:35.

Yugoslav countries, Spain, Argentina and to a lesser extent Brazil,

:19:36.:19:41.

Greece and Turkey, the players tend to come along in groups that go up

:19:42.:19:47.

and play together. They make each other better. Because they're mostly

:19:48.:19:52.

small countries, they can't depend on having a steady influx of top

:19:53.:19:57.

talent. They really have to develop it. Each generation takes time to

:19:58.:20:01.

develop. We have seen in the case of Argentina and Spain that that

:20:02.:20:05.

generation is reaching the end of its run. Serbia and Croatia have

:20:06.:20:11.

shown they have a generation coming through. Croatia has a young team.

:20:12.:20:16.

Serbia is not that old. France still have some good players. Simonovic

:20:17.:20:24.

didn't see that! He should have looked at the screens. He was behind

:20:25.:20:31.

a pass he was not even aware of! Serbia started well. It is tough for

:20:32.:20:35.

them now, coming towards the end of this. They put up a good show at the

:20:36.:20:39.

Olympic Games. That game against Australia was just extraordinary.

:20:40.:20:44.

Maybe if they played like that the whole way against the United States,

:20:45.:20:47.

they would have pushed them. And take nothing away from Serbia. They

:20:48.:20:52.

were silver medallists at the last World Championships. They will be

:20:53.:20:54.

silver medallist here at the Olympics. Semifinals of the Euro

:20:55.:21:00.

basket. There was a lull for Serbia after a few years after Yugoslavia

:21:01.:21:08.

made the final at the previous Olympics. But they are back on the

:21:09.:21:15.

Olympic theme. Bogdanovic can't make the opening three. This has been the

:21:16.:21:19.

story of the game, even when they have had the opening shots Serbia

:21:20.:21:22.

haven't been able to take advantage of it. This has got to be one of the

:21:23.:21:27.

lowest scoring fourth quarters. The intensity level has fallen

:21:28.:21:32.

considerably for both teams. That is the coach of the tournament, no

:21:33.:21:36.

doubt. He has been brilliant. His game plans have been fantastic. It

:21:37.:21:41.

was tough going for Serbia in their group stage. They dropped a couple

:21:42.:21:44.

of games and they have done remarkably well to pick themselves

:21:45.:21:53.

up. Macvan has had a good tournament. They brought him in when

:21:54.:21:56.

they needed shooting and he has had a good work.

:21:57.:22:12.

Djokovic. The Denver player has been virtually invisible in this contest.

:22:13.:22:21.

Bogdan Bogdanovic with the basket. -- Jokic, the Denver player. This is

:22:22.:22:31.

Bogdanovic with the rebound. He loses it. Arms out for the US.

:22:32.:22:41.

Barnes came up with the ball. Gets it back. A good pass by Barnes,

:22:42.:22:46.

easily put back by Green. Former team-mates. See what happens when

:22:47.:22:52.

two players are on the same team? What was it, and hour ago?

:22:53.:22:57.

Bogdanovic didn't shoot that one. Nice pass by Nicola Jovic -- by

:22:58.:23:05.

Stephane Jovic. 51-90, three minutes to play. Some of their movements

:23:06.:23:11.

have been spectacular, Serbia. As a team they have been fantastic.

:23:12.:23:16.

They've worked really hard to gather and they even outscored United

:23:17.:23:18.

States from the bench coming into this one. That one thrown away by

:23:19.:23:25.

Bogdanovic. Bogdanovic picks it up and there will be a foul and Lowry.

:23:26.:23:30.

The Serbian bench were really impressed, great stuff from Bogdan

:23:31.:23:35.

Bogdanovic. He's a natural player. He's only 24, but he needs more

:23:36.:23:39.

consistency. He's not the kind of guy who is carrying this team. He

:23:40.:23:44.

had sometime in the NBA. It didn't work out for him. NBA teams would be

:23:45.:23:50.

looking again in the future. I think he was 27th overall. From Phoenix,

:23:51.:23:57.

and played in Sacramento. He has got the potential there. Two from 11

:23:58.:24:09.

from the floor. That really shows you the trouble that Dubya have had.

:24:10.:24:14.

He and Jokic averaged almost 18 points a game. -- the trouble that

:24:15.:24:23.

Serbia have had. They have done really well against Croatia as well.

:24:24.:24:39.

There is a three from Nedovic. Teodosic is only 29. Many other

:24:40.:24:50.

members are still only in their 20s. They will be back in later contests.

:24:51.:24:59.

The rebound to Anthony. 15 is his number, apparently. But he can't

:25:00.:25:09.

wear it on the New York Knicks because they retired it in honour of

:25:10.:25:16.

the Black Moses. You can't argue with that. I think he will have to

:25:17.:25:22.

pick a different number. There comes Carmelo Anthony. He was on that team

:25:23.:25:34.

that lost in Athens in 2004. The only player on the US team who was

:25:35.:25:38.

there. Who's to say he would be back again? It's possible. He wants to

:25:39.:25:46.

get a record. He had a bronze in 2004. A gold in 2012. This will be

:25:47.:25:50.

his third gold medal here today. That's a tough shot! DeRozan with

:25:51.:26:16.

the falling away jumper. Nedovic has come alive now in the last few

:26:17.:26:20.

minutes. He's a talented young player. Like you're saying, there is

:26:21.:26:24.

a lot of good young players on this team. Anthony, the overhead for the

:26:25.:26:29.

United States. A couple of years ago I think Markovic was playing for the

:26:30.:26:39.

Warriors. Just making the jump from European basketball to the NBA,

:26:40.:26:44.

sometimes it seems a bit different. Sometimes they're missing something.

:26:45.:26:48.

The technical quality is fantastic. Maybe a physical element to their

:26:49.:26:51.

game is what they're looking for in the NBA. But their matching it in a

:26:52.:26:56.

number of occasions. This just isn't one of those occasions. You also

:26:57.:27:03.

have cultural differences. You can make a lot of money playing European

:27:04.:27:07.

basketball. Sometimes the culture is just more suited. The last minute

:27:08.:27:12.

now. 94-64. Harrison Barnes with the left-hand.

:27:13.:27:31.

96-64. Followers and Jimmy Butler. The guys

:27:32.:27:57.

are getting looser and looser! They're having a great time now, the

:27:58.:28:01.

United States. The gold medal is pretty much all wrapped up now. But

:28:02.:28:07.

Serbia should still be proud. They've really been fantastic. I

:28:08.:28:12.

don't think anyone expected it. The team to face the United States in

:28:13.:28:15.

the gold-medal game, I don't think Serbia were really amongst the

:28:16.:28:18.

favourites even though they went to the World Championships with them in

:28:19.:28:23.

2014. Your absolutely right. The Serbian win over Australia was not a

:28:24.:28:26.

huge upset, it was one of the surprises of these games. One reason

:28:27.:28:30.

is that many of these players aren't as well known. Australia have six

:28:31.:28:37.

players in the NBA. Serbia, as a unit, they'd been fantastic and

:28:38.:28:41.

shown what it means to work as a team and basketball. Just letting

:28:42.:28:46.

the clock ran down. The Serbians aren't going to defend. The US would

:28:47.:28:56.

turn it over on the shot clock. And that will bring the game to an end.

:28:57.:29:06.

It will bring the game to the 31st -- it will bring the XXXI Olympiad

:29:07.:29:13.

to a sporting close. Serbia Ali the United States have beaten Serbia.

:29:14.:29:20.

STUDIO: a commanding performance from the US claiming their 15th

:29:21.:29:26.

Olympic basketball title. Heading into the Olympics there was

:29:27.:29:29.

criticism that they were bringing a lesser team. A lot of the big NBA

:29:30.:29:33.

stars pulled out through fatigue and injury. In the end it didn't really

:29:34.:29:35.

matter, did it? After the football gold, the one at

:29:36.:29:45.

the top of the Brazilian 's most wanted was the men's volleyball.

:29:46.:29:49.

Last night we saw the Arena sold out. Today we saw the little

:29:50.:29:56.

Maracana, it was passed up for Brazil to take on Italy. -- it was

:29:57.:30:01.

packed for Brazil to take on Italy. Mild-mannered Souza was letting rip.

:30:02.:30:25.

Here is trouble for Italy. It is the wrong side of the net.

:30:26.:30:50.

Brazil take the point. It didn't get through. And I set before they can

:30:51.:31:01.

close your hands towards the net. When I saw that from Souza, it came

:31:02.:31:08.

to mind the Brazilian player who could hit the ball like that every

:31:09.:31:14.

time. If you can keep doing that, there will be real trouble for

:31:15.:31:31.

Italy. A standing start. The onslaught is relenting. That one pin

:31:32.:31:36.

bowling around. He had a little discussion with his

:31:37.:32:05.

coach. He wants every ball right now. Here's a man with a plan,

:32:06.:32:09.

wanting to make sure he gets a gold medal. He has spent his life working

:32:10.:32:15.

towards this moment and he wants to make sure that he takes it. If he

:32:16.:32:21.

does not, he has given it every single thing he can to try to

:32:22.:32:26.

achieve it. The do not leave anything in the locker room. 10-9.

:32:27.:32:38.

That is what the coaches wanting. If they can re-establish the medals, it

:32:39.:32:45.

becomes an interesting battle between them.

:32:46.:33:03.

That looked as if it was heading over the net, but he was ready and

:33:04.:33:07.

waiting. Anything Italy can do, Brazil will respond. And if you run

:33:08.:33:13.

a medal against you, you will run it back against the other team. You

:33:14.:33:16.

want to keep the pressure on both sides. You start edging out, but you

:33:17.:33:23.

can't, you have to stay so you're ready and waiting. So you know that

:33:24.:33:25.

you have one-on-one. Juantorena delivered. Yes, that is a

:33:26.:34:06.

dead. He was putting it into an area. He couldn't believe it did not

:34:07.:34:09.

come back up. Throwing themselves at everything.

:34:10.:34:31.

Zaytsev tried again, and the only people cheering at the Brazilian

:34:32.:34:40.

supporters. Brazil are keeping hold of this lead.

:34:41.:34:49.

Yes, and guess who has done it? This is a once more. He once almost broke

:34:50.:35:07.

the ball, and this when he realised. -- de Souza. No one was able to

:35:08.:35:09.

cover. Until eight days ago, Brazil had

:35:10.:35:53.

never beaten Italy. When it counts, this is the gold medal match. Italy

:35:54.:35:59.

have never won the gold medal, Brazil are asserting themselves once

:36:00.:36:04.

more. What a server! But it is still in play. He missed. That is the

:36:05.:36:12.

first mistake by de Souza in almost 2.5 sets. Played to the whistle. You

:36:13.:36:19.

do not play to what you think you have seen. That was cracking. It pin

:36:20.:36:27.

balled around the Italian team, but everyone linked in, and it dug back

:36:28.:36:34.

over. Has that caught the hero of the player as it went past? If so,

:36:35.:36:41.

it is a touch. It does not count. If you're here touches the net, it is

:36:42.:36:47.

not a touch. It did not touch anything or anyone, except the

:36:48.:36:51.

outside of the court. So Italy have the point.

:36:52.:37:12.

That got a little bit tight. The double combination of de Souza gave

:37:13.:37:28.

them no room. That is frustrating. You can understand it if it is a

:37:29.:37:34.

jump serve, the way they are hitting the ball. But when it is jump flight

:37:35.:37:49.

serve, but doesn't Gwen. -- go in. The perfect way to make up for it.

:37:50.:37:58.

Lanza knew he made a mistake. But they are back in the game, and his

:37:59.:38:00.

missed serve is forgotten. Brazil are using their 5-5 serve.

:38:01.:38:34.

Brazil are siding out without any issues. Change here for Brazil.

:38:35.:38:41.

Mauricio has been the starting outside hitter in the tournament.

:38:42.:38:52.

Lucarelli is suffering with injury. He's probably going to be seen by

:38:53.:38:55.

the physio. He's just having a rest at the moment. Mauricio will serve.

:38:56.:39:01.

The five position is in the bottom left of the backcourt.

:39:02.:39:38.

That was a legal touch. Italy just ahead and getting serve. Not so

:39:39.:39:43.

fast. Let us have a time-out. For the Brazilian team -- four of

:39:44.:40:28.

the Brazilian team have been in the Olympics before. Bruno Rezende E,

:40:29.:40:41.

Wallace de Souza, Lucas Saatkamp. This is in front of the home crowd.

:40:42.:40:47.

Another mighty block. He was ready, Ivan Zaytsev. Making

:40:48.:41:00.

sure he did not get the ball over. That is a big achievement from

:41:01.:41:24.

Simone Giannelli. Long, no touch. There are issues here for Osmany

:41:25.:41:32.

Juantorena. The call went against Brazil for Wallace coming through.

:41:33.:41:35.

It may have been his hand that smashed onto Osmany Juantorena. It

:41:36.:41:42.

is. Wallace has come through and has dragged Osmany Juantorena's hand

:41:43.:41:50.

onto the net. He is a person who has touched the net here. -- the person.

:41:51.:41:54.

I am interested to see whether there is a challenge. In fact, what has

:41:55.:42:00.

happened as he has been pulled onto the net by Wallace. Italy have the

:42:01.:42:06.

point, much to the frustration of the coach. Challenge. He has just

:42:07.:42:23.

reversed it! Emanuele Birarelli quite rightly saying that he drags

:42:24.:42:30.

him onto the net, but was -- Osmany Juantorena touched the net.

:42:31.:42:37.

That went completely wrong. Trying to make a negative set into the

:42:38.:42:45.

middle, which meant Simone Giannelli had to hold the ball and fire it

:42:46.:42:48.

out. He did not send it out quickly enough. How much of momentum switch

:42:49.:42:56.

is this? 17-17, but are moving clear. They have to go once more.

:42:57.:43:02.

Brazil know that if they take the set it is all over. They have a gold

:43:03.:43:04.

medal. That is a quality hit from Ivan

:43:05.:43:26.

Zaytsev. He finds a gap between Wallace and Lucas and exploits it.

:43:27.:43:32.

Sometimes you go for power rather than a tip over. Frustration is

:43:33.:43:39.

building among the Italian team. Brazil have not let them hit top

:43:40.:43:47.

form. 18-18. Huge quotations from Wallace. Right-to-left as he hits

:43:48.:43:53.

the ball. When he lands he pretty much has his back side to the net,

:43:54.:43:58.

such is his rotation, which is why he is so good at hitting.

:43:59.:44:18.

Port of -- whatever the feelings, they have to regroup, which is what

:44:19.:44:31.

they are doing. Came out. -- time-out.

:44:32.:44:59.

Well, that is it. No more time out. The players may get the chance to

:45:00.:45:09.

talk to him again if Brazil go for a time-out. The not quite on their

:45:10.:45:13.

own, because he can still offer instructions. But the crowd believe

:45:14.:45:17.

that the momentum and force is with Brazil. They will be celebrating

:45:18.:45:22.

shortly an Olympic gold medal for the home nation. They need six more

:45:23.:45:27.

points. Not so fast, 19-19. Not quite up to

:45:28.:45:43.

gain speed as Lanza crashes that one through the block. A little late to

:45:44.:45:47.

react. Great swing from the leap Ping Lanza. -- from Filippo Lanza.

:45:48.:46:04.

Now, then. Wallace arrives and unload inside the court. They're up

:46:05.:46:11.

to 20. Wallace gives this an absolute spanking. But it's all the

:46:12.:46:25.

intent. Wallace and Souza, they have come out with a plan and they are

:46:26.:46:27.

delivering. The fans are screaming his name as

:46:28.:46:39.

he lined up to serve that one. An extra adrenaline surge will stop

:46:40.:46:45.

Italy pretty much hanging on. The team which set the tournament alive

:46:46.:46:49.

in the opening match crushing the European champions 3-0. A fantastic

:46:50.:46:58.

performance. When Ivan Zaytsev doesn't fire properly, Italy have

:46:59.:47:02.

problems. If their coach had said to the guys at the time, we need to

:47:03.:47:07.

risk this, we need to be brave and serve and receive and they need to

:47:08.:47:11.

get their middle running, but at the moment it Brazil who are making all

:47:12.:47:22.

the running. Nice arrival. Yes, the hand hurt from Wallace a few moments

:47:23.:47:31.

ago, but take it out on the ball. STUDIO: they were trying to get

:47:32.:47:34.

towards Juantorena, but they had to watch what Buti was doing. Rossini

:47:35.:47:42.

is in for Lanza. Serving, passing defending from him. Oh, the captain,

:47:43.:47:49.

first run of the match and he makes it look as if it's the most natural

:47:50.:47:53.

thing in the world. If you were waiting for the set, take that! A

:47:54.:47:58.

lack of discipline for Italy, but late on in the match that is

:47:59.:48:02.

something you can expect to happen. You have got to key in on the

:48:03.:48:07.

setup's touch. Then the tempo, then the ball wide. They didn't do their

:48:08.:48:16.

first job. That is long. Neymar thinks it wasn't a touch. Italy

:48:17.:48:20.

thinks it was a touch. We are going to have a challenge and we will find

:48:21.:48:24.

out whether there was a touch. Because if there was it is 22-22. If

:48:25.:48:34.

there was... Massive touch. The challenge will be successful and it

:48:35.:48:39.

will be 22-22. It is still very much game on and Italy is still very much

:48:40.:48:47.

in this. Who's going to blink? In the last two sets, Brazil just held

:48:48.:48:52.

firm and Italy subsided. Now, what are moment for Oleg Antonov. His

:48:53.:48:58.

first Olympic Games. This means to be an absolute crowd pleaser. First

:48:59.:49:05.

and foremost, he needs to make Brazil play this ball. He has. But

:49:06.:49:12.

the problem is that Wallace is coming for him. And Wallace has done

:49:13.:49:23.

what he wanted. 23-22. Two more points and they will be Olympic

:49:24.:49:27.

champions for the third time. What a swing that is from Wallace.

:49:28.:49:31.

Underlying his commitment to the cause and his desire to win this

:49:32.:49:42.

match and get a gold medal. Trying to be heard. It is a cacophony of

:49:43.:49:44.

sound here. Brazil closing in. Italy desperate

:49:45.:49:59.

to get this back. Massimo Colaci digs. They claimed there was a

:50:00.:50:13.

touch. The referee agrees. 23-23. Birarelli was there wanting the

:50:14.:50:22.

ball. The sites that have saved his blushes, that is for sure. What a

:50:23.:50:33.

job, and Wallace, off the block has match for Brazil will stop they've

:50:34.:50:39.

been here before. Four years ago they had match point twice. Couldn't

:50:40.:50:42.

take it twice. They know they need to do this now because it is a two

:50:43.:50:48.

point game again and that means finding out for the set of finding

:50:49.:50:52.

out for the match. Their fourth consecutive final. Gold in 2004, two

:50:53.:50:59.

success of silvers. Is it going to be gold in 2016? By itself goes and

:51:00.:51:08.

they save match point. 24-24. Calm under pressure from Zeit said. Get

:51:09.:51:13.

it off the block in a way. Now it is a two point set. -- calm under

:51:14.:51:17.

pressure from my van Zaytsev. It's a good one, but Brazil still

:51:18.:51:32.

have it in play. Off the block, Lucas! The veteran from 2012 has

:51:33.:51:38.

teed up their second match point. Brazil are going to have to do it

:51:39.:51:41.

the hard way. They are going to have to redo it from service. We are back

:51:42.:51:46.

to old school volleyball. If they want to win this one, they will have

:51:47.:51:50.

to be tough on the serve. The blog defence has to work. They need to

:51:51.:51:54.

get into transition and attack. Any one of those will do. -- block

:51:55.:52:01.

defence. Blocking substitution. No recognise that on court here for

:52:02.:52:05.

Brazil. They will just try and shut down Italy at the net. Gold medal

:52:06.:52:13.

points for the hosts. And doesn't the home crowd know it? Wallace. Off

:52:14.:52:24.

the block! It's all over, Brazil are Olympic champions! For the fourth

:52:25.:52:32.

time. They won in 2004. They let it slip in 2008 and 2012, but in 2016

:52:33.:52:39.

on their home court in Rio de Janeiro Brazil are the Olympic

:52:40.:52:45.

champions again for the third time! There's a challenge, the drama is

:52:46.:52:51.

ratcheted up once more! Italy are challenging. To be fair, he's got no

:52:52.:53:03.

other option. Buti, maybe just the last throw of the dice? They have a

:53:04.:53:09.

challenge but it's been denied. -- Blengini, maybe just the lost throw

:53:10.:53:13.

of the dice? Sergio retired after 2012 but he was brought back last

:53:14.:53:18.

year. Here he is, and Olympic champion again. And the Marathi

:53:19.:53:29.

novena, in the shadow of the maraca none, with Neymar watching having

:53:30.:53:36.

won the football only earlier today. They have all witnessed a no triumph

:53:37.:53:40.

in Brazilian volleyball. They have been a supreme force and they have

:53:41.:53:44.

overcome Italy for the second time in the final. There was Neymar. He

:53:45.:53:50.

was in tears yesterday, but he did the job and so, too, have his

:53:51.:53:54.

countrymen in the yellow and blue. Their famous colours. On the court

:53:55.:54:06.

at the little Maracana. Italy cannot believe it, they have only lost once

:54:07.:54:10.

before in this tournament. In the most significant time they have gone

:54:11.:54:16.

down. Neymar, his third Olympics. The captain of the team with Bruno.

:54:17.:54:24.

It is a volleyball double. Brazil topped the beach volleyball are now

:54:25.:54:27.

the men's team have risen and they will be on the top of the podium

:54:28.:54:32.

accepting bronze medals. Is this a mighty achievement, too. Only two

:54:33.:54:36.

other countries have won gold on birth home court. The USSR in 1918.

:54:37.:54:47.

And the US twice. What a way for Brazil to finish.

:54:48.:54:53.

STUDIO: what that means for Brazil as they have their best Olympic

:54:54.:54:57.

Games, they are in 13th on the medal table. If we turn our attention to

:54:58.:55:01.

the top of the table we can see the United States taking home 121

:55:02.:55:06.

medals. What on Olympic Games it has been for Great Britain surpassing

:55:07.:55:09.

China and the London 2012 expectations. We have seen some real

highs and lows throughout the whole of the Olympic Games. I hope you
