Day 2 BBC Four: 22.00-02.00 Olympics

backpack, than they have a line of three in front of them and this

situation, I would be expected to have solid, 23 players stretching

the defence. They are hesitant with the midfield group.

James Cochrane. Jumped out of the way and Great Britain can relieve

the pressure momentarily. Middleton breaks away. Made some decent

ground, lifted up over the top. Nicely controlled by Dixon. Nicholas

Catlin has done well, trying to force is way to the edge of the

circle and is robbed of the ball and New Zealand have got themselves a

bit of the Menton. Middleton tracks back, to slow things down --

momentum. The referee is having a chat with Iain Lewers, he has

already had a green card and he has been fortunate. You can see what he

was trying to do to try to break up the New Zealand momentum.

He wants it again. Russell. Back to Woods, all the way back to Devon

Manchester who is being chased down by the ever energetic Harry

Middleton. Shark around the field, Barry Middleton -- shark. Red shirts

around the ball, what a move, eventually it is not out but Blair

Helton, a little bit of magic and the ball bouncing around. New

Zealand come forward with a bit of possession. He took that

fractionally to quit leak, Simon Child. You cannot play the ball into

the circle until it plays five metres. Inside the circle, New

Zealand looking for a shooting opportunity. Great Britain with a

chance, Barry Middleton could not get enough on the ball. It is all

New Zealand at the moment. Four minutes of the third period of play

to go. It is 2-2. Beautifully poised here. Archibald is back on for New

Zealand. Gets involved straight and finds Russell. -- straightaway.

Daniel Fox waiting to get his opportunity alongside David Condon.

Ian Sloan is lined up as well. Waiting for his opportunity to come

on. Meanwhile New Zealand continued to press forward. Time after time

they put Great Britain under pressure and time after time they

are able to resist. Nicholas Catlin running into a bit of trouble but it

is a Great Britain free hit. Brilliant accelerated run from Cain

Russell down that flank. That was a little careless, but got away with

it. Nicholas Catlin has that. Nice first touch from Daniel Fox who

leaves it for Nicholas Catlin. Darts inside. Over the top. Nicholas

Catlin back to William Weir who moves it to David Ames, a little

flick on to the right, into the shooting circle, a scoring

opportunity but Great Britain get the penalty corner. It is a shot

from Simon Mantell into Devon Manchester. Creates a danger. Really

hard, Simon Mantell puts the stick in front of Russell. It has come up

off Manchester. If the goalkeeper raises it further it is considered

to be dangerous to the players around him. Manchester causing a

penalty corner which he will now attempt to defend alongside his

team-mate who are getting their masks and pads on. Iain Lewers will

inject for great written, Ashley Jackson has had some opportunities

and has another chance, Jackson shuffles inside will stop

obstruction given and that is bad from Harry Martin. He went inside

Sam Ward. Jackson slips it a cross under his arm, but look, Harry

Martin has gone across the front of the defender in front of him, woods

and created that urge party obstruction. -- Nick Woods -- third

party obstruction. 2-2. Just over a minute and a half

to go. Russell, out of the blocks quickly. That was too hot for Wilson

to handle. Still time for one more chance.

Great Britain would love to go into the final period with a lead. At the

moment, they seem content just to maintain possession and now they

start to inch forward. Flick to his right, a man down there. Change

directions, come left and David Ames has William Weir, at pace, Nicholas

Catlin touches and holes. He is robbed. Robbed why Archibald who can

come forward, opportunities. Nicholas Catlin saw William Weir at

inside him. Insights of run to see the opportunity, but Nicholas Catlin

came back. On the edge of the circle. New Zealand get the free

head. Worrying moments therefore Great Britain, there was a sense

that there might be a penalty corner coming the way of using lead. It is

take in and goes into the circle before the ball has moved five

yards. The defenders have to be so disciplined not to start to encroach

on the attacking play. The third period comes to a close, no goals

there and with 15 minutes left to play there is everything to play

for. 2-2. Still finally poised, Great Britain desperate for the win

but currently it is all square with New Zealand. It is time to catch up

with what has Dean a dramatic day as we look at the headlines here in

Rio. And costs are low won the first-ever gold medal, a dramatic

story, she represented Albania but here she is representing her home

country of Kosovo. That was Majlinda Kelmendi. Richie Cruise in his

fourth Olympics was narrowly denied a medal but winning admiration for

his excellent effort here in Rio. It has been a good day for Great

Britain at the White Watford Stadium as David Florence qualified third in

the canoe slalom and Josef Clark qualified in second place in the

kayak. Andy Murray has successfully begun the defence of his Olympic

crown. He defeated his opponent in straight sets and looked comfortable

from start to finish. Currently taking place on BBC Two, Rugby

sevens, the quarterfinal match between Great Britain and the GE, it

is currently 19-7, Great Britain leading, hopefully they can keep

their good performance up. On the Red Button you can see how Johanna

Konta is getting on against her opponent from lip in Steyn, it is

currently one game apiece. Coverage of that later. It is time to head

back to Diadoro Amber Hopley, an 15 minutes coming up for the Great

Britain men, it is 2-2. The final period under way. Britain on the

attack, across the face and into the circle and behind, courtesy of a New

Zealand stick. Great Britain maintain their position deep in Kiwi

territory. Just a little flick forward, forcing an excursion out to

the right. Middleton. Just to set things up here. A New Zealand player

lost his stick there as Great Britain come forward in numbers.

Dixon did not get the blade of his sticker underneath the ball. He

tried to get it up into the air. Tech equally exactly the right wing

to do. -- tech play. That was brilliant play from Michael Hoare.

Some wonderful stick work from East to West but in the end he was denied

and Great Britain have the possession. They need to regain

control. They were penalised for stick shifting. You see the

opponent's stick coming in and play sure stick between the ball

shielding it making it impossible to tackle. The referee at that up. --

place your stick. Great Britain can start again,

Daniel Fox flicks it to Iain Lewers who goes right. What is available

here? Dixon looking for something. Back to Iain Lewers, a good-looking

pass. Middleton picks it up and control set and lifted it over the

stick of his opponent and Great Britain are in the circle. Off a

Great Britain food and New Zealand get the free hit and a chance to

slow things down. Sam Ward took the ball into the hook of his stick and

tried to rip it around the body, very hard to read. New Zealand

threatening the circle once again, right to the edge. One of the New

Zealand players got upended there. Play is allowed to continue. They

have a man down in the circle and the whistle has gone. He had to take

that into his own hands as it was driven down the great written

baseline. Not sure it is anything other than being winded for Wilson.

Iain Lewers striving end. And then comes that hard. Leading exactly as

he shoot and takes it in the midriff. Nick Wilson did not know

which had hit him. He was upended by George Pinner arriving at speed. He

is being helped off the pitch. You can see the replay. It does not look

good at the moment. Making his 105th appearance for New Zealand this

evening and he is being helped away from the field of place. Bat-macro

play. George Pinner is a big man -- place. George Pinner is six tall.

Tallest man in the match tonight. -- is sick feet tall. New Zealand will

hope that he is fit to play in the neck match. -- in the neck 's match.

12 minutes left, if it stays like this, both teams will pick up a

point. It feels as if great written are creating more chances than New

Zealand but there are flashes of danger, even though the clock is

ticking, Great Britain have stayed patient, if they try and force play,

it will open up the opportunity is deep in their defence. Cautious play

at the start from New Zealand. Russell wanted it, played it inside,

good stick work from Great Britain. Ian Sloan forcing his way forward,

eventually he is held up full is stop out of play. Ambitious pass

from one end of the pitch to another. What an overhead, he found

the right hand side. He is looking into the floodlights trying to pick

it over his shoulder. He led really well. Michael Hoare. He takes it all

the way back. Now down the right flank. Simon Mantell down on his

knees. Does enough. Iain Lewers. Coming forward. Into space.

Archie ball is in a bit of space. Shot on goal! I don't think George

Pinner knew too much about that, but he did enough. Video referral. They

said it wasn't a shot on goal so therefore it was dangerous. He is

saying he was pulling his shirt which affected his shot. The video

empire studying the evidence. Does Harry Martin make contact? That is

going away from goal, I cannot see there is an issue other than that

touch. That is going across. George Pinner doesn't really extend his

left hand, he feels it's going clear and not dangerous, so it is not a

shot on target. Is that shirt pulling, and if it is, will it be

penalised for Harry Martin? The body language from Blair Hilton is a bit

of a shrug, going to ask for it anyway. There was a pulling of the

shirt by the number nine defender. The discussions between the field

umpire and the video umpire continue. We cannot hear that

discussion. The number nine defender was the one pulling the shirt. I

think he is saying he has pulled his shirt. Is he rotating towards the

goal? It is inside the circle, so he cannot give any personal penalty to

Harry Martin. He is reaching for his pocket. I think it is going to be a

corner. If it is in the circle and it is a card... Wow! To interpret

that, I think the umpires had seen it, perceived it was a good enough

advantage, so therefore it is not a penalty corner, Harry Martin has

been penalised. That is a bizarre set of circumstances. Two separate

incidents investigated by the video umpire. The referral was rejected,

but Martin has two minutes in the sin bin. Great Britain attacking and

they have got the penalty corner. They have driven hard down the

right-hand side. The attack was that such pace, if you don't get the ball

here. As Simon Mantell drives down the baseline, it is perceived to

have been a deliberate foul. That is the tackle it is given for. Simon

Mantell taking it all the way. Could this be the moment when Ashley

Jackson finally finds the target? He's had a couple of attempts.

Jackson, will wait for the injection. 2-2, nine and a half

minutes to play. Mark Gleghorne, rotated his body to go to the

goalkeeper's left. But it didn't look like he got the contact he

actually wanted. Manchester made that look very, very easy.

Middleton's shoulder barging his way into an attacking position. He will

take it up again here. Great Britain have to be careful because they are

a man down and they are playing high in the opponent' area.

New Zealand have three forward. Three against four here. It is out

of danger for the moment. Fortunately there was no real New

Zealand lead. Adam Dixon missed the interception, but they only had two

men. Middleton was hoping this service. New Zealand have the

opportunity to put pressure on George Pinner. Barry Middleton, set

off like Usain Bolt down the field, hoping someone would give him some

service. Mark Gleghorne, releases it early. That rotation is trying to

take it to the goalkeeper's left. He doesn't get the touch. Great Britain

on their way. Simon Child for New Zealand.

Bullying his way into an attacking position in the centre of the pitch,

but his final pass let him down. A physical game, this has been. I

think Simon Child will be disappointed with how little

influence he has had. For a player of his stature you would expect him

to leap forward line. From Martin. Here is the cross in. After a couple

of sticks and behind. -- of a couple of sticks. Martin, Great Britain.

All the way back to Michael Hoare. David Ames, on the right. New

Zealand have got control or dated until Middleton got in. Just behind

Manchester's post. Lewers had lost it on the attempted incision into

the circle. It gets smashed in here. New Zealand is not getting it right.

Wouldn't have been a goal if it had gone in because it was a New Zealand

touch and not a British touch. Inside edge. Right on the kneecap

and that will be hurting. Not as much as New Zealand will be hurting

if Great Britain get something here. Mark Gleghorne fired one in. Six and

a half minutes to play. 2-2. Both teams showing resolute defence, as

the clock ticks down. New Zealand breakaway. Stephen

Jenness is in the circle the New Zealand. Russell is in space. He is

calling for it. Archibald, switching into the wide

open spaces on the left. Fired in dangerously. I New Zealand stick on

that might have been enough, but it is a penalty from New Zealand. Great

Britain have plenty to think about. Simon Mantell gets a foot on it.

First penalty corner I think for New Zealand. Kane Russell possibly of

the top. Second, I think. Collection of pads and masks behind the goal

now applied to the defenders. They are lined up, ready to strike. What

a save! Brilliantly done by George Pinner, diving away to his right.

Might have salvaged a point for Great Britain, depending on what

happens in the next few or so. Save of the match from George Pinner. And

for a big man, getting down very well. Kane Russell draws it across

his body to create the acceleration and then fires it low to George

Pinner's right hand. Last five minutes. Great Britain with the free

hits. Here is the save from George Pinner. Beautifully done. We didn't

realise, there was an inside edge. Both keepers playing their part.

Manchester, at one end, getting his knees in the way of the Mark

Gleghorne drag. And then George Pinner diving to his right at the

other. This match is level at two goals apiece with just over four

minutes to play. New Zealand, threatening once again. He had

absolutely no chance. Wilson, injured in the collision with George

Pinner earlier with the ice on his right shin. Middleton picks it up.

Goes forward. Great Britain, running out of opportunities here. Can they

get a decent cross in for somebody to get on the end of? Coming again.

Gentle flick from Lewers. To the edge of the circle and behind. Adam

Dixon tried to get that inside. David Ames on the way again with

power and pace. His backhand delivery was met by New Zealand.

They are breaking forward now. New Zealand supporters making some

noise, trying to get behind their men as time ticks on. It was Lewers

once again stepping out from the sweeping role. Extended jab tackle.

Using his reach and all of his strength.

McAleese, has been asking for it. Russell. Ward, how brave was that?

Archibald. Waiting a while to make his decision. Flicks it inside,

straight to a red shirt. That was met for Ashley Jackson, who got

there eventually. Looking for a pass, it's gone behind. Barry

Middleton, who fell on his back and stretched out his stake in a

desperate effort to reach the ball. So close, what a pass from Jackson

infield. Nicholas Caitlin, on a full lead, but slipped. Middleton, is

spinning. Last 60 seconds of play and New Zealand are in the circle.

New Zealand still have possession. All 11 Great Britain players deep in

their own half. New Zealand trying to break through.

Three points is what they both want. Russell, tries to fight his way

through. The last 20 seconds. That was a little careless. Michael, what

kind of decision was that? Leave it to Lewers and go along? Last five.

They've run out of time, it will be a draw. The end of an interesting

match between two sides, who both desperately needed a win. They will

come away with a point each. A good game of hockey and Great Britain

have drawn with New Zealand. The final score here 2-2.

That is Great Britain's first point of this year's Olympics. The men's

team bind them selves in fifth. New Zealand ahead of them on goal

difference. They are going to have to work hard I get something out of

Lee's two of those games. Time to concentrate on the rugby

sevens and let us show you what has happened in the quarterfinals so

far. Three of them have taken place, Australia defeated Spain and Canada

got the better of France and Great Britain defeated Fiji. There is one

more quarterfinal to go between New Zealand and the USA and the winner

of that match will they scrape written and let us join that match

now. Less than one minute late. The US on the attack -- USA. United

States with the full house of results. The upset was that draw

over Australia, the first mistake of the processes, Catherine Johnson who

was one of their great tacklers, dropping the ball on that occasion.

New Zealand are still favourites. Full strength line-up, but I have to

say that I think the game of the tournament was Australia against

USA, the Americans were and how stick. Unfortunately Catherine

Johnson made that mistake. This gives New Zealand the ball and let

us see what they can do with it. She puts the ball into the scrum. It is

a way to Kelly Brazier. McAllister. One of the star runners of this

Canadian side will stop a belter of a tackle. Portia Woodman, the flyer

on the outside for New Zealand. McAllister. She will give it some

direction. Takes the tackle again. Penalty to be taken quickly. Taken

by Manuel. Back to Brazier, knock on. No scorer yet, the stakes by

both sides. You can see the physicality of this American team.

They will have no worry about reputation here. That is probably

the first game we have seen an unforced mistake macro. -- air.

If you tackle, they will not go anywhere. She gets the ball away.

Back in possession. It is presented by Kelly Griffin. Lauren Doyle, a

chance here. Instead, she lets her finds the player. Feeds Doyle. Happy

to keep possession. Great pick-up I Kathryn Johnstone, outside there is

support. Gillian Potter. It is a penalty to America. You must get out

please. Giving away the penalty. A little

pause for a lot. The USA will see if they can do a line-out down there.

It is interesting, the American team carrying on where they started

against the Canadians and really being very physical. The Australians

this morning, happy to take the game to this New Zealand team. Gillian

Potter runs back and then runs forward and it goes to know one.

Pick it up by Sarah Goss. Brazier. One for Woodman to chase. Very

slowly it makes its way towards the touchline. Woodman was approaching.

It is not a throw for New Zealand. That would have been an excellent

kick and Kelly Brazier would be disappointed. Just kick it down the

middle of the field because there are gaps to spare. Woodman is a

wonderful player. America will be happy with the situation. They have

nailed arguably the most attacking team in the tournament so far.

Kathryn Johnstone. Makes it available. Doyle, a little

readjustment. She tries to do the extravagant looped pass. Lauren

Doyle again. Pick away I Kelly Griffin. Victoria is held up but

does well to get that away. That is a clever move. Gillian Potter. She

knows it. I do not know what the actual stats are, but the American

team have totally dominated possession. They have made very few

errors, that was her first real mistake but give it to the New

Zealand team. They may pay for a close New Zealand have the ball now.

Brazier, McAllister and Woodman, we will see what they can do from this

set piece. In quickly, I weighed to Brazier and then McAllister. Woodman

awaits. Woodman steps on the Pat and that is the first try of the

quarterfinal, Portia Woodman, New Zealand are in the lead. A simple

not gone, gives New Zealand the ball, set play and Victoria Poon

showing a little inexperience, coming flying in and leaving the out

side full is top --. Little bit naive, should have stayed out. What

a wonderful site seem Portia Woodman. It was tough on the

Americans, they have dominated the game and now they are five points

down at half-time. The conversion was missed, it is New

Zealand five. I cannot see New Zealand losing this game. These

women are totally beatable. If they can keep the ball in hand. Just

dominate possession. They are like any other team and this is why run a

seventh is a wonderful game. America have played well -- rugby sevens. He

is there fourth coach this season. -- he is their fourth coach. New

Zealand needed that. They would have been nervous if it was 0-0 at

half-time. I think we are in for a cracking second-half. It is the most

disjointed we have seen in New Zealand play. They were not

disjointed in their last game against France until the second

half. They are in the lead and they do have that back line that can cut

anyone apart. I am watching this from the point of view of Team GB.

We have also got a very talented backline which makes the game

tomorrow, assuming New Zealand can come through this, fantastic,

mouthwatering opportunity for the Team GB women.

We are off for the second half, the last half of play in the

quarterfinals. Tyler Nathan Wong. That has not gone. Just have not

seen those errors in this New Zealand team. Tyler Nathan Wong, one

of the best kickers in the tournament. It gives free possession

to the American team. Can we see an upset here? She takes it. Slow,

quick, quick, slow. She did nothing slowly, she hammered it for the

tackle. That is some skill, to see the ball coming, Portia Woodman,

then, head on the outside, save their hit with your right shoulder,

that takes a lot, a lot of talent and skills, she is incredibly

athletic, what a tough player as well. Lauren Doyle will be feeling

now. That is the halfway line. Teresa Fitzpatrick for New Zealand.

That is a knock-on, America have a session, Kathryn Johnstone. -- have

posed their share in. Michelle Stevens has an -- have possession.

It was not intended -- Michelle Stevens is on. Stop kicking it at

the white line, that was tried time. The New Zealand team have taken off

McAllister, who was their outstanding player. I am surprised

at that. Penalty to the United States. New

Zealand protecting their five point lead.

The American team are getting stronger. She has to take it

quickly. She is having a chat with the referee. Stephens. Griffin.

Doyle will stop got rid of it quickly enough that time. -- Doyle.

Got rid of it quickly enough that time. Penalty against New Zealand,

they will have to be careful. Griffin. Kathryn Johnstone. Doyle.

Michelle Stevens, this time the kick will stay in field. Gets a foot to

it, what she taken out by Nathan Wong? She stays down. Time out, says

the referee. Watching a live, I do not see anything wrong with that,

they both went for the ball, it was unfortunate. It is a big decision,

this, if they think the New Zealand player... Did you get a number?

Number seven I think, guys. Number seven, seven. I think it was a late

tackle. It try scoring opportunity. Tyler Nathan Wong yellow carded, a

real chance for America. Jessica is back on her feet. Could be an upset

on the cards here, Eddie. Three and a half minutes to go. Five points

up, New Zealand,. On come changes for New Zealand full is top Williams

comes on. -- on come changes for New Zealand. Williams comes on.

That is a great pass. Can they get the past two Kathryn Johnstone? They

cannot. New Zealand survived that first attempt. This is a real shock

here. to work hard I get something out of

Lee's two of those games. These are the favourites for the

tournament here. Referee trying to keep things moving along. New

Zealand will have the feed. Whose throw is it? New Zealand's.

Tyler Nathan Wong, sitting on the bench. This is her big moment. I

think I would be tempted if I was Kyla McAllister to prove this down

and just get out of their half. Here comes Kayla McAlister. Can't get

very far for the moment. Into the last two minutes. Kelly Brazier in

no hurry at all. The referee from South Africa, has really helped the

New Zealand team. They will just run this clock down. They will have the

throw, New Zealand. Anxious moments as to reason that cant all the

others on the New Zealand bench looked on. Only a 5-point margin.

America, challenged. Sarah Goss takes the ball. Good tackling. Sarah

Goss, comes away with it. Kathryn Johnson doesn't allow her to be the

third player. America is trying to break out. Ryan

Carlyle, inside. Richelle Stephens, still therefore the American team.

Kelly Griffin. Johnson, on the outside. Sarah Goss, goes over and

helps Kelly Brazier with the tackle. Excellent play by New Zealand in

defence. Sarah Goss was outstanding. She didn't go flying out. She just

pushed and drifted. Tyla Nathan-Wong, returns to the field

and that cannot happen quick enough. Sarah Goss was immense in defence.

It was a certain try, but she read the play very well. 22 seconds to

eat up for New Zealand, presumably a kick to touch and a slow line-out.

This is it for America, it comes down to one player, they need to win

this ball. Got to throw everything at this line-out to try and upset

the New Zealand women. Tyla Nathan-Wong, sees the clock go down

to zero. Here's the hooter. The line-out will take place. Sarah

Goss, wins it. It is loose, but now it is out are played to the boot of

Sarah Goss. New Zealand celebrate, they are through to the semifinals.

But it has been a struggle for them against the United States. They have

beaten America, but only just. New Zealand were largely unbeatable

with their back division. Really didn't play to their strengths at

all this evening. Well done America, but New Zealand are there to play

Team GB and what a game that is going to be.

Congratulations to New Zealand, through to the semifinals. Just

confirming the line-up for tomorrow. Well done to all four teams, this is

the first time in over 90 years that rugby has made a reappearance in the

shape of sevens at the Olympics. Looking forward to Great Britain's

women can do tomorrow. Time to catch up with the headlines with what else

has been happening in Rio. The historic moment for Kosovo and

in particular for Kelmendi as she won the first medal and a gold medal

the Kosovo in the judo. And confirmation that Great Britain

women are through to the semifinals where they will play New Zealand

tomorrow. Fantastic run so far. Disappointment for Richard Kruse,

finished fourth his fourth Olympic Games in the men's foil in fencing.

A lot to be proud of for his efforts here in Rio. Andy Murray began his

2016 Rio journey with a comfortable victory over Viktor Troicki of

Serbia in his opening match. He looked in total control from start

to finish. Just to let you know what is going on on BBC One the moment.

We are currently showing gymnastics. Meanwhile, on the website you can

keep in touch with what is happening at the boxing and a reminder that on

the act and the website there are 24 live streams and you can find a full

schedule of what is going on here at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Very shortly,

we will be heading to the tennis and catching up with Johanna Konta. We

have seen Andy Murray go through, the best of the British men here.

Andy Murray is in action later, he and Jamie Murray a par tearing up in

their first doubles match. We will be catching up with Johanna Konta.

But we are heading back to the rugby. John Inverdale catching up

with the New Zealand team. Obviously they will be playing Great Britain

tomorrow. Just waiting to catch up with them very shortly. John is

waiting for us, rugby sevens, has been a wonderful success and great

to see Great Britain do so well? Yes, the crowds haven't been what we

were expecting, but that may be because the venue is so far out of

town and I know the next three days are sell-outs so this place will be

packed. In terms of the actual product, Brazil playing Colombia

earlier on today had the crowd on their feet and Brazil won as well.

There is a side issue. If Brazil can beat Japan in the ninth and tenth

place play-off tomorrow Brazil would get an automatic place on the world

circuit which will give a huge boost for the sport in this country.

Because they will be playing in all the main seven aside tournaments

around the world. The Kiwis, finally disbursing. Hopefully we will hear

from Kayla McAlister in a moment, who is the sister of Luke McAlister,

a great all black. Her dad played rugby league in the North of England

over 30 years ago. She will be coming our way shortly. But back to

seven aside rugby, it has been a huge success and it will be more so

as the week goes on. It is one of those things, you see what happens

in Hong Kong and Dubai, iconic places around the world that managed

to create this fantastic spectacle and atmosphere. That is what they

have tried to replicate and be doing pretty well. I keep saying I am

optimistic we are getting Kayla McAlister, but I think she just

walked past me. Stood up again! Press people summoning people. If I

shout out to her... No, I can't. We have people frantically pointing,

but... Hello. The New Zealand press officer, I am asking if he could

send one of the Kiwi players over. Award-winning television. This is

BBC television, many congratulations. You are playing

Great Britain in the semifinals, how do you view that? Tomorrow is finals

day and that is when the big girls turn up. We know it is going to be a

tough game. That was a tough game wasn't it? Yes, the USA really

turned up tonight and they were hard work until the final whistle. When

you are down to six with two and a half minutes to go, where you

worried? Not really, we practice those scenarios in training and we

defend the line like it is our home. As long as we had faith in each

other, we knew we would be all right. In terms of the competition

coming here as a kiwi, you would have thought nothing other than

winning the whole thing, how much pressure are you feeling from home?

There is a lot of pressure on our nation because it is such a big

rugby nation. We try not to listen to it and the only pressure we put

on ourselves is expectations, and how we know we can play. We just let

the noise be the noise and do our own thing. Taking each game as it

comes? Definitely, you have got to, only 14 minutes each side. In terms

of the occasion and the experience, how have you enjoyed the Olympic

Games? It is so surreal. We were in the food hall and Serena Williams

went past, it was crazy. What did she eat? Didn't see what she ate,

because we waited until she had finished before we got the photo but

she has a big booty, so she must eat a lot of carbs. How much are you

making of the experience? You never know if you will be back again, and

for us, it is the first time we have been here, so we are taking it all

in as well as concentrating on playing here. Thanks a lot. Great

Britain against New Zealand in the second semifinal tomorrow afternoon

and that is an mouthwatering contest. The best match so far was

the New Zealand, America game that you have just seen. A spectacular

game of seven aside rugby and I suspect there will be more of the

same tomorrow. Those mixed zones are a nightmare to work. 2004 in Athens

trying to get hold of Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms. I think I

embarrassed myself badly, but you handled that perfectly. Well done to

Great Britain's women who will be play New Zealand in the semifinal

tomorrow in the rugby sevens. We will concentrate now on the tennis

and Johanna Konta, the number one hope for Great Britain in her match.

First-round match against Stefanie vote of legends die. Johanna Konta

won the first set so we will join it in the second.

She is doing pretty well. It wasn't tennis of a high calibre. Johanna

Konta broke in the fifth game and took the set 6-3. Has played the

kind of tennis we hope she would. Freed herself up and it's been a joy

to watch. She served with effect, dropping very few points behind her

first serve. That has been the rock in her game so far. Ground strokes

have been variable, but she is on to it now.

For a new viewers, Stefanie vote is to have 90 ranks. Carried the flag

religion stein last time. Has had persistent knee problems which has

stopped her being a regular force on the WTA to. Johanna Konta, you know

about her. Semifinalist in the Australian Open and now number 13 in

the world. The Number Ten seed here. We have seen a semblance of vicious

racket head speed. But there have been only glimmers. There have been

nerves from the off and not much assurance as the noisy from the

British number one. She is starting to swing with authority now.

She has not looked confident overhead, but you can see the power

and the shot naked has improved almost came by game over the last

hour. She is now working inside the baseline much better. A couple of

rape points for a double rake. This will virtually round up the match --

break points for eight double break. That is the depth that she has found

in the set. She is very nearly there. It did look decidedly dodgy

for the first 35 minutes when she was making error after mistake

Apple, it must have been very frustrating. The shackles have come

off -- error. That is the second time she has run

through a volley. It was all off-balance. She has had some

wonderful points from earlier in the match.

We have seen some wonderful served Friday from Johanna Konta tonight,

it has been the bedrock of her game -- we have seen some wonderful

service tonight. How good angle was that? That was

cheeky, synonymous of confidence, lovely little touch around the net

there from Konta. It was when her hands were tied the ball was out.

There is a lot of confidence around that will stop -- there was a lot of

confidence around that. Well played. She may be going out

but she is going out with a bump here. You so often see players, I am

in the shower now, let us be free and that is when layers are at their

most dangerous. -- players. I do not think this is nervous, she

started full of them, a couple of aberrations.

Well played. Particularly in the second set, it was a very difficult

start but she is through and in the end it looks very easy on the

scoreline, 6-3, 6-1 and that is nice to be. Stumbled through despite a

bit of a stutter. They have played three times prior to this match.

Vogt did have a win in the early days but temp one is through today.

A decent performance in the end -- Konta. She will play Caroline Garcia

in the next round and she will have to start that match as she finished

this one. Otherwise she could find herself in a whole lot of bother.

She got rid of the shackles. The gremlins were kicked out and it was

Konta in the end, looking good. An hour and 15 minutes, the first half

an hour was probably Purgatory for her but towards the end, it was

increasingly attract. -- attract. That much was incomplete contrast to

the match we saw Venus Williams compete in which was two hours more

than Johanna Konta took to dismiss her opponent. We will concentrate on

archery and yesterday we saw South Korea win the men's team competition

while earlier today the women were trying to repeat the dose. In all

seven previous Olympics in which there has been a team competition,

South Korea have won all of them. They are trying for eight in a row.

They were in the final against Russia as we join our commentators.

There is one survivor here from 2012.

The current world number one is here. We are all set to start. This

match will be decided over the best of four sets. Each archer will shoot

to arrows and the highest cumulative team score will win the points. The

points are shared, tied, then the set wins will be shared. She gets

her first ten. You win the gold medal if you get 25. A tide set

score will have a shoot off. -- a tide set score. The pressure is

firmly on this Russian team now. She is 20 years old, 11 in the world

rankings. She opens with a nine. This is her second Olympic Games.

The Russians finished fourth at the last Olympic Games in London.

She stars with a very loose arrow doors Perova. The one thing you have

to do when you take on the Koreans is a consistent, consistently good.

Sadly from a Russian live, well is the opening set to career. -- sadly

from a Russian live. -- Perspex tours. You would expect this to be a

routine arrow. Seven or higher to win the set. She will be going for

it then. Why not shoot the best arrow of the set? 59 out of 60, how

good is that from the Koreans to start the gold medal match? Not as

good as they start in their semifinal, which was 16th. Fantastic

from Korea -- 60. The Korean team is expect to win every time. They deal

with that pressure so well. Temp to. -- Perova.

It has been blustery all-day and the wind has been changing direction

frequently. The Russians have not scored higher than 55 in any set

that they have shot in today. That will have to change. Korea have

scored... There have been some openings

listening to those scores. No one has been good enough to take them

consistently. What a start from career, four out of six arrows in

the heart, a couple in the inner circle as well. That has been

downgraded to a nine, the first arrow there has been downgraded to a

nine. Still a comfortable win for career in that first set. They take

the lead. The Russian begins the second set.

In the back of her mind she knows it has what to go into the ten. Tried

not to think about it too much, go through your routine and that is

what she has done to effectively start the second set. A little bit

more inconsistent. A superb shot. Sadly, that arrow has not matched

the setting. That loose arrow again could come back to haunt Russia. It

was and eight, 25 points. 25 points for Russia full is. It will take at

the drop on form from Korea not to claim the second set. -- it will

take a vague drop on form. -- it will take a vague drop on form.

It was a longer hold than normal. She is metronomic. Hoping to win her

third Olympic gold medal. That is going to help. Halfway through the

second set, it is a 3-point advantage for career. -- career. --

South Korea. 39 nines now and a ten. She is

shooting well, she is only 20. Here is the former world number three.

Again she is battling a little bit. Perova needs a then and even that is

most likely not going to be enough to win the set -- she needs a ten.

Provisionally a total of 51 points. This should be easily achievable for

this Korean team. That is three eighths, I cannot see them be that

way word. She is a wonderful archer. -- way word. She is an Asian games

gold medallist. Second loose arrow in the set. It is not likely to

matter. British number one. She is starting

to swing with authority now. She adjusted beautifully and bangs

in the maximum. They are just one set away from yet another gold

medal. Well, we said Russia would need to score more than 55, which

was the highest set score in previous rounds to have a chance.

They haven't done that yet. That's why they find themselves four points

adrift. It has been career's most dominant performance so far. Japan

shared assertive with them, and so did Chinese Taipei on the way to the

final. But this has been one-way traffic so far, despite the relative

poor film in the second set. 50/54 and 53-50 three. 55, 51 is the

second set score. The equation here for Russia is simple. They must win

the next two sets to take the match to a tie-breaker. It is that simple.

If they can't win these next two sets, it

Inna Stepanova. Not frequenting the ten zone enough. Just one ten so far

for this Russian team. 14 arrows so far. That is the 15th fired by the

team. This been provisionally scored and eight. One from 15, it is eight

from 12 for career. Amazing, isn't it. Hyejin Chang puts in her worst

arrow after three back-to-back tens. Did well in their first match

against Japan. In the Gold zone again and she gets her customary ten

after a slight lapse in form. Ki Bobae. Here is an opening now for

Russia. They are not invincible after all. Maybe they still are, we

will wait and see, but there is a chance here to prove that the

Koreans are invincible. Slides off to the left. Dashidorzheiva, her

lowest scoring arrow of this gold medal match. Inna Stepanova, comes

to play. Her first ten. Now it is in the hands of Ksenia Perova. Well,

well, well. Just seven. She shakes her head. Rightly so, because that

gives the Koreans are big chance here. Just 25 points is good enough

for them to win a gold medal and they only need to type the set.

There is of them. You get the feeling the last set of three

arrows, not enough from the Russian team. Huge opportunity. Another

eight. Here's the equation, eight or better from the current Olympic and

individual and team gold medallist. Ki Bobae, win her team yet another

gold medal? Five seconds on the shot clock. It is an aid. It's not her

best arrow, but it is going to be good enough provisionally. We have

to wait for one arrow in that Russian team to be ratified. The

first one shot by Ksenia Perova. Coach shaking his head. He doesn't

think it will be upgraded. 51, that is very low from the Koreans. But

they won't mind, if it sticks. They are anxiously looking up the range.

Each team has a representative of the bear. The Korean representative

will signal. There we go. Very close scrutiny going on to see what is

going to happen. The Russians nervously waiting to see if they

will get another opportunity in this match whether the Koreans have got

the gold medal for the eighth, straightening The Games. The target

judge is from Mexico. The Koreans have got it. It has been ratified,

and they have the gold medal for the eighth successive Olympic Games.

What an outstanding archery nation they are. Undefeated in women's team

archery since 1988. Eight gold medals to the Korean women's team.

They are unbelievably good, over so many years and they got there

through the ratification of an arrow, which has seen them win

another gold medal. Ki Bobae, wins her third Olympic gold medal to go

with the women's team gold in London and the individual title. Misun

Choi, she wins her first Olympic gold. Republic of Korea, five set

points to one. What a fantastic performance again from South Korea.

It is a double here in the men's competition. That is eight Olympic

titles in a row for the women of South Korea in the team competition

in archery. Fantastic performance. Time to bring you the rest of the

headlines from today in Rio. Historic moment the Kosovo. Their

first medal and a gold medal courtesy of Kelmendi, who was able

to compete for her home country. Emotional in her victory. It was a

good day for Great Britain's women in the rugby sevens. They are

through to the semifinals tomorrow, where they will be playing New

Zealand. A great effort in his fourth Olympics from Richard Kruse,

as he finished fourth, defeated in his bronze medal match. But there

was a lot to be proud of in his effort here in Rio. It has been a

good day in the tennis. Andy Murray started the defence of his Olympic

crown with a straight sets victory over Victor. And Johanna Konta has

beat Stephanie Vogt. On the Red Button at the moment on the website,

tennis, featuring the French open heroine and we also have table

tennis as well. That is on the website. Also we have 24 live

streams on the website to choose from, as well as a full schedule of

events going on here in Rio. Yesterday was a good day for Great

Britain's boxers. All for the completed, they all won. We will

switch our attention to the Irish boxers and David Euros in action in

the lightweight competition. Must join our commentators Richard

Woodall and Ronald McIntosh. The opening bell sounds in this 60

kilograms bout with boxers from the Seychelles and Ireland. The man in

red is David Joyce, 29 years of age. He is making his Olympic debut other

man in the blue ranked 40th in the world is competing in his second

Olympic Games, having boxed in London 2012. He was eliminated in

the opening round. But a wonderful moment for the man from the

Seychelles. Sole representative of their boxing team. Making his second

appearance at an Olympic Games. Got to move his head here. He is

throwing plenty of jabs. Joyce has got to watch when he's coming out of

the attack and moving away. This man in blue has fast reactions. He has

caught Joyce a few times. But that Bass jab of Allisop could be a

problem. The right hand in response to Allisop was partially parried.

Allisop launching a speculative right uppercut and that wasn't too

far away. Bustling burst of punches to the body from Joyce. He covered

up well to block the attempted coming from Allisop with his gloves

and his forearms. There is the right uppercut again. Good laptop from

Joyce. Allisop has fairly fast hands. One of his problems, the lead

hand is too low. Joyce knows it and that is why he is trying to target

the right hand. That wasn't too far away. He knows if he can get up

close to Allisop, he has a chance of landing the right hand over the top.

He tends to, once he has landed a few shots, Allisop, he goes back.

That is when you have to jump on it, when he has landed his work and he

goes back to have a bit of a walk and a dance, you have got to get up

to him then. Competitive round of boxing. Both men having moments of

success. David Oliver and is taking the

opening round across the board against the two time Olympian,

Allisop. His good range is being rewarded by the judges. Not a lot in

it, but the judges favouring Joyce on the front foot. Into the second

round. Allisop, two time participant in the Commonwealth Games. In

Glasgow, was eliminated in the second round. Just watching Allisop,

he throws a couple of shots. Then if he lands come he tries to skip away.

That is when you have got to go for him. When he takes a breather, Admir

is his work, moves away. Step on the gas I get after him. He wants a few

seconds, bit of a breather. Wasn't a bad shot from Allisop. But Joyce has

got to target the right hand. Allisop's lead hand is too low. One

of the seven, National Irish titles for Joyce. When the lightweight

title in 2014. Prior to that took titles at 57 kilograms in 2008 and

2009. Toe to toe exchange in the centre of the ring.

Remember what we talked about earlier about pushing your opponent

hack. You saw Allisop turn his back and if you heard the expletive, but

he has just sustained and nasty gash over his eye and you can see it

leaking blood. We have to see if we can get a gesture from the referee

indicating what caused that cut. If the referee Dave it was a punch,

which she may signal by touching her gloves together, but Allisop was

indicating that it was caused by a stray elbow. For an first city to

deal with for the man in blue. -- more adversity. Will he go for it?

Will he try and put joys under more pressure or will he start going

forward more? -- David Oliver Joyce. The first cut we have seen sustained

during the Olympics so far. The first Olympic Games without head

guards Moscow 1980. -- since Moscow 1980. There is another right-hand in

the region of that I injury. What is very important is that David Oliver

Joyce has not taken a backward step, for all the work of Allisop, he has

not an itch to push David Oliver Joyce back. -- he has not managed.

Allisop cutting a frustrated figure right now. He is annoyed at having

picked up that injury. There is one of my old opponents, the guy with

the towel. I drew him in the Commonwealth Games in 1990, I beat

him. That is announced the injury, definitely from the elbow.

Definitely from that elbow. Going to work on that injury. Allisop took a

share of that second round to tie things up at 19 points from one

judge. He has now got a significant injury to his eye following that

stray elbow from David Oliver Joyce catching him. Round three. The

referee warning the boxers to keep their heads up, that is the name of

the education initiative that has been launched following the decision

to remove the head guards. That was made in Kazakhstan in 2013. All

stakeholders, boxers, coaches, referees, have been given extensive

education to ease that transition but this is the flip side. Studies

did, both independently and otherwise, there is a good attack

from David Oliver Joyce, suggested that there is a lower incident of

concussions since head guards have been removed. The flip side is that

there is an increased incidence of parts and this is the first we have

seen in the Olympics so far. Allisop has good variation. It was from all

different angles over the top. It is his defence that is letting him down

and that ring craft of being pushed back, he is never pushing his

opponent act and showing the judges he can box on the front foot. That

is his problem. He has got a lot of skill. The defence lets him down a

little bit. Turning Southpark, perhaps to protect his eyes. David

Oliver Joyce pouring forward and applying pressure at short and

mid-range -- southpaw. That blood continuing to flow from the injury,

for Allisop. Difficult moments now for the man in blue. If he were to

prevail in this contest, then he is scheduled to ox again in two days'

time. -- bop 's gain. -- box 's again.

Standing toe to toe and exchanging now is Allisop. He is prepared to

take a shot to land one. He could probably do with more head movement.

He will take the shot on the gloves and elbows. That makes him an

exciting boxer. The closing stages of this third and final round, one

suspects that the pressure of David Oliver Joyce should be enough to see

him into the second round. Allisop took a share of the second round of

this contest to tie things up, at 19 point piece, but on the scorecards

of the other judges, it was 20-8 for the man in red, awarding the

significant pressure he continued to apply -- 20-8 team. He is talented,

fast hands. Overall, David Oliver Joyce was the clear winner. I hope

we see Allisop again, I like his style. I think he has a good future.

There we are seeing the numbers from the second round. Reinforcing what

we pointed out, that Allisop managed to take our share. Tied at 19 points

apiece from one judge. We are awaiting the final verdict. Three

action packed rounds of boxing. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by

unanimous decision, David Oliver Joyce! So David Oliver Joyce is

through to the second round of this his first 11 date games, courtesy of

a really impressive points win over the two-time Olympian Andre Allisop.

A very impressive performance from David Oliver Joyce, he has won his

first bout in some style. Let us show you what is imminent regarding

what we are showing you very soon. We will be heading off to the judo

for the final of the 66 kilo category. From midnight, action from

the singles tennis, Novak -- Novak Djokovic against Del Pat Rowe. Beach

volleyball at one a.m., the preliminary rounds from the women's

competition. You might as well see Adam Peaty in the final of the men's

100m breaststroke. It might be worth it. Now, earlier this evening we saw

Mal -- Mal Jill Inda Kelman de win the first gold medal for Kosovo. A

fantastic moment for her and a fantastic moment for Kosovo as well

and given that it is an historic moment and it will be the first time

that we hear the Kosovo National Anthem, we think it is worth having

a good look at the medal ceremony. Now the Olympic champion who was

forced to compete for Albania. She has waited for this for a long time.

Now she stands with her arms aloft to accept a gold medal for Kosovo,

Majlinda Kelmendi. What a performance. Some of the nerves that

she felt at the beginning, because she did not want this to go wrong,

she did not. It was very much, I do not want to make the mistakes I made

last time. He has plenty to say, that is so beautiful. A private

moment had been these two. The country is still suffering from the

effects of war. She has won a World Championship for Kosovo and this

means literally the world to this lady and now she will stand and look

to the other end and listened to the anthem of care home nation, Kosovo,

what a wonderful moment for her -- anthem of her home nation.

APPLAUSE. . What a wonderful moment for Majlinda Kelmendi. This is a

25-year-old who has been through so much, at the age of eight, her home

town was destroyed in the war. She had a difficult bringing but that

toughness has manifested it self in a wonderful competitor and she has

won the gold medal for Kosovo. Confirmation of silver and bronze

medallist there as well. The second gold medal up for grabs was in the

final of the 66 kilograms title for men. The South Korean met the

Italian in the final. It all comes down to this here is the gold medal

match, career versus Italy, who would have thought, it is the world

number one versus the 21-year-old, FBasile, he has had a wonderful

tournament and a wonderful day and he will say, medal either way his

opponent from Korea the 20 16 world champion, An Baul. In his mind, he

has had his name over this title for some time. He is the smallest judo

goal in this field. An Baul, his first Olympic Games, he

won the Championship and he won the Masters this year as well. First

time up. He camp deuce and isn't this great to three -- great to see.

-- he cannot produce. -- he can produce. He has to be careful of the

extremely quick drop shoulder throws of this man. Back in the blue that

he has enjoyed throughout the contest is Fabio Basile who has had

a wonderful competition and that is why he is in the gold medal match.

Straight into action. Five minutes on the clock, this contest might not

go all the way. Fabio Basile will be aggressive. If he sees an

opportunity he will take it. I think they will both open up. They are

both young and both wanted it so badly. An Baul has been on great

form all day and Fabio Basile has just had the tournament of his life.

We know he is hungry. He still eats five meals a day to

ensure he has his strength. He stands firm, the Korean.

Trying to stop the unorthodox to techniques of Basile. Full of

confidence, the Italian. One thing he does not lack, just waves his

opponent away. He has got him. The backflip as well. Everyone is lost.

The Italian, he is the only one that understands what has gone on here.

And An Baul, looks at the referee. The referee says, young man come

back and take a bow. The celebration, which we may have

missed, we will get a look at the replay. Almost as spectacular. You

wonder how he did it. Take a moment, the crowd will celebrate with this

young man, Basile is the 2016 Olympic champion. False to his

knees. You will have two rise again and bowed to the referee and to his

opponent. That is great to see. He is a showman, no doubt about that

and he is an Olympic champion. He is a gold medallist. An Baul,

disappointment, but it is party time the Basile of Italy. Indeed, party

time. Basile won the gold medal in the men's 66 K category. Distraught

was his opponent, An Baul, from South Korea. For all these athletes

competing here at the Olympic Games in Rio, they may be in action for a

few fleeting moments, but perhaps they spent a lifetime dedicating and

preparing themselves the competition here in Rio. Here is Matthew with

more. For years, 208 weeks, 126 million, 144,000 seconds. That is

the time period, the defining time period that articulates the

privilege of being an Olympian. The thing that got me into cycling was

this stream to go to the Olympic Games and compete for Great Britain.

Every day you train is for the Olympics and to do your best. It is

going to be challenging and tough, but it will be worth it. This

creates the stakes, one tiny error on the grand stage and you have to

wait for years to correct it. The defending champion thrown out the

two false starts. Sometimes you never get a chance to correct it. I

have never hit the wall in the marathon, but I hit it with a bang

in Athens. It took a long time to mentally and physically get back

because I did feel like I had let a lot of people down. You get one shot

every four years. You can be introduced as the rest of your life

as an Olympian and that means something to the rest of the world.

The Olympic Games isn't about what happens in the spotlight, it is the

things we don't see, the training bases and the altitude camps. At

5:30am on a frosty morning in February, when all you want to do is

stay in bed. If you have a life when you are preparing for the Olympics,

then you are not doing it right. I get up early every morning and flog

ourselves up and down this lake. It is not something I enjoyed, it is

the price of success. What looks like a novel way to live your life,

is normal to us. That routine is part of who they are and how they

live their life. You just get on with it. Once you get the feeling of

being on the podium, you just want that. You have to sustain your

motivation for four years, make sacrifices for four years. You have

to make strangers of your family for four years. My life has, essentially

been overtaken by a long jumper. Greg missed our first scan, you

almost missed Milo's first birthday. He does miss out on a lot, and it is

tough for him because being a dad is more important than being an

athlete. As a mum it is hard to switch from thinking about your

child. If I didn't put 100% in and was wasting time, it would be awful.

I need to know that I am doing this for good reasons and he will look

back and say, look what my mum has done. When you get onto the stage

itself, the psychological danger of lips. The problem is fear, you want

to perform so much, you become paranoid you won't. The key to being

successful in that moment is being able to manage your emotions,

maintain a sense of calm and being present. Now has to look like I know

what I'm doing and look like I am in control. I love the fact that when I

walk into the velodrome I realise this is happening and that emotional

feeling I get, I know I am ready for the moment. There is an essential

cruelty in sport, the juxtaposition and the dreams and sacrifices for so

many, the top of the podium is reserved for just one. There is a

cruelty, that an epic journey measured in years, success and

failure are measured in fractions. 1.8 seconds is all it takes to do a

dive. All of my dives are over very fast. It takes so many setbacks and

injuries are moments where you question whether you even want to

continue doing your sport, to actually get to that point and that

is what makes it sweeter when you do achieve it. Ultimately it is how we

deal with the setbacks and the challenges, how we deal with the

consequences of losing and winning. That makers who are.

-- make us. Great insight into seeing what these athletes have to

go through to get here for what may just be a fleeting moments,

competing at the Olympics. I have taken a stroll down the promenade at

Copacabana. People flooding through the streets, having a wander through

and stalls out. I young lady having her hair plaited beautifully. I wish

I had long hair and get that done. Fortunately most of mine has gone.

Just wondering along, it is random people you bump into and in the

middle of the fans here, a couple of people from Manchester. Chris and

Janie, out here for the Olympics, or did it just clash? It is our

honeymoon. Congratulations, when did you get married? The beginning of

June, but we realised we could come out for the Olympics. We have for a

event is planned and then we will move on after those. Where will you

go, what evidence have you got lined up? Rowing, beach volleyball,

basketball and rugby sevens. Have you seen anything so far? We only

arrived yesterday. How long have you been together. Five years. I am glad

you asked her that. You have come out to Rio, you have got to do the

tourist things. Is that on the schedule as well as doing the

Olympic Games? Yes, we did a hike today, we want to go to Sugarloaf

soon as well. Is this your first Olympics? I lived in London at the

time of the Olympics, so we saw a lot at the time there. London was

inspiring, even for the people watching? Yes, we loved the events,

and just being in the park, The Games makers were amazing. How did

you propose? We were in Berlin just before Christmas and I got

spontaneous and went down on one knee. He did take the ring. If it

was spontaneous, where did you get the ring from. I did take it with

me. Which event do you think we will win a gold medal in? We are keen on

the rowing. I don't know specifics of each event, but we are always

good at rowing. Did you go along today to expect to see it, and it

was cancelled? No, it is a few days away yet. Lovely to meet you both,

congratulations from everyone at the BBC, may you have a long and

successful marriage. Cheers. Lovely to meet such lovely people. We will

concentrate on the hockey now and hopefully Britain's men team will

have a long and successful campaign in this competition. Not been great

so far, they lost against Belgian and tonight against New Zealand,

they only managed a 2-2 drawer. At least they have their first point on

the board. It means they are not bottom of the table. Brazil lost

earlier today to Spain. Belgium in second place. Great Britain have

three games to go. Brazil up next and then it will be vital they get

at least one win out of Australia and Spain, so they can fill one of

the top four spots to ensure they make it through to the

quarterfinals. We can get some reaction to that performance after

the match, Matthew Pinsent caught up with the captain, Barry Middleton.

Huge disappointment after losing to the Belgians, how did you react to

the draw? More frustrated with the result in the end, than the

performance. Yesterday, the performance upset us because we were

better than that. Today we were like ourselves, but didn't get the

details right. With the Olympics, it can be bigger sometimes when you

realise and the calmness we need is the next step to realising when we

have got them under pressure, keep going. What is a difference between

the two group games so far? The energy, mostly playing as a group.

Yesterday, for lots of reasons, as you know at the start of an

Olympics, a lot of guys it is the first time. 30 degrees, a few of us

from up north in England, it is a bit different. A few different

things yesterday. It has gone, done with and we know it won't happen

again. Now it is getting the focus on the detail. Draw and a loss,

where does that leave the men's team? It leaves us with a point. We

have Brazil next and we know we have got to win that. From there we will

see what we have got with two games to go. We want to be in the mix at

the end giving ourselves a fighting chance in the last two games. If we

win those, we are through. In hockey, you have got to win some

games under pressure that is what we are going to do. Huge from you from

the Olympics before, what sort of things will you be dragging up and

saying to the team? Old age, is that what you are saying. Just stay calm.

It is a long tournament, we're not out of it, we don't have panic. We

can still do it if we stick to what we do. Don't do anything different,

is the big thing from me. Great stuff, good luck. I went to see the

hockey yesterday, spoke to Barry Middleton after the defeat and he

was pretty disappointed with the performance. It seems they put up a

better one tonight but you can sense they are frustrated, they are not

quite clicking. They spent a lot of time training and focused on getting

their preparations right. But at the moment they are struggling to hit

their top stride. The women's team beat Australia 2-1, so they are in

prime position going into their second match. They are looking in

good form so vocally they can do well this time around. We promised

you tennis, and to tennis we will go. We're not quite ready for

Djokovic and Del Potro. There is one going on and we are going to join

the action. She knows she cannot be passive. She

has to be aggressive. And she has done that throughout, going for it

on her serve. Particularly of her forehand side.

Swinging freely on the backhand. Her most solid side. Not too many errors

of that wing. That one was too far out wide.

Couple of false piling up for Andreea Mitu. -- couple of faults.

Half a dozen. Did not try to do too much with the

serve. Andreea Mitu might -- Garbine Muguruza might feel she should have

done more with the return. Smart move from Andreea Mitu to take the

pace off, make sure of it. Trying for the drop shot, making a

real mess of it. She wants to take that all were she was trying to do

it, nearly touching the surface. Space to hit that drop shot.

It was looking like a comfortable surface game but it got a lot more

complicated. She has been able to play good solid tennis. From the

middle of the first set on words, it was too erratic.

Smiling about the previous forehands from Garbine Muguruza.

She had saved a couple of games. Andreea Mitu drops serve, 5-2 full

top --. Some rate tennis in that game from

Garbine Muguruza. This is a tough ask for Andreea Mitu, she has been

inside the top 100, 190 at the moment, she has to go out there,

positive mindset, try and get the first strike on the points and that

is not easy to do when you are playing a number four player in the

world and one of the biggest hitters of the ball out there. Just the

reaction, the shrug of the shoulders, suggesting she might have

run out of ideas. What a turnaround, after winning the first two games,

she was looking so good, perhaps Garbine Muguruza was rattled a

little bit. Serving for a spot in the second

round in the Olympics, Garbine Muguruza.

You do get the sense that she has relaxed in the second set and that

might you why she is serving better in the second set. Things are

certainly flowing much better in the serving apartment and everything

else has gone along with it. Very smart, letting it bounce.

Fantastic preparation from Garbine Muguruza on every shot in that

point, from the serve on, judging that one, taking her time, not over

hitting it. That came from nowhere from Garbine

Muguruza. A few times tonight, that horse has been a bit astray. Too far

over her head. First double of the second set for Garbine Muguruza.

First base of the second set for Garbine Muguruza. -- ace.

Fine defence from Garbine Muguruza and then she turned it into a fence.

A backhand winner to seal this first round contest against Andreea Mitu,

6-2, 6-2 full stop --. Appropriate that she sealed it in that fashion.

Her coach on the tour taking copious notes. The Olympic coach saying,

come on, it was a good night out the office, they will like what they saw

out there from Garbine Muguruza. Good effort from Andreea Mitu, she

started a match well. She started rate, those first nine points,

back-to-back double faults, and was not able to recover. Garbine

Muguruza was given the chance and she took it. A good opportunity for

Andreea Mitu to play in the singles event at the Olympics. Garbine

Muguruza was too good overall tonight. She really got the serve

going as the match went on. Garbine Muguruza is always smiling. Not a

great 24 hours for Venus Williams, knocked out by the Belgian in the

singles competition. She teamed up with her sister in the doubles but

unfortunately they came a cropper, losing to the pair are from the

Czech Republic. A difficult 24 hours for Venus

Williams. It is time to catch up with the headlines elsewhere in Rio.

A great night, a historic night for Kosovo as Majlinda Kelmendi won the

first-ever medal and a gold one in the final of the 52 kilograms judo.

A good day for Great Britain this women in the rugby sevens, they are

through to the semi-finals where they will meet New Zealand next.

Richard Kruse produced a career-best performance but could only finish

fourth losing his bronze medal match but a great effort here in Rio. It

has been a good day for richest tennis players, Andy Murray started

the defence of his Olympic title with a big treat over Viktor Troicki

earlier and Johanna Konta defeated Stefanie Voegele in straight sets as

she got her campaign off to a promising start. Just telling you

what else we have got going on, apparently there is weightlifting, a

gold medal final going on in the 56 kilograms category. Meanwhile on the

website and the BBC sport app there is table tennis, do not forget, 24

live streams of sport when we are in full flow and you can get a full

schedule of events here in Rio. It is time to deliver on our promises.

Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin Del Potro from Argentina is our next

live match at the Olympic Tennis Centre and this match promises to be

a cracker. Juan Martin Del Potro not out Novak Djokovic in the Olympics

in London in 2012. It is time to join our commentators.

Apologies, although to be fair, I could have continued commentating,

there was no action, I would have been all right! We promised you

Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin Del Potro shortly, but of course, we are

wondering about all the athletes taking part in the Olympics, so many

of them are all caught or taking part for fleeting moments but they

have spent a lifetime preparing themselves to compete at the

Olympics. We saw action at the dressage. Great

Britain is a fourth ahead of the cross-country stage which takes

place on Monday. William Fox-Pitt doing well, he's joined by Gemma

Tattersall, Pippa Funnell and Kitty King. But for the horses, it has got

to be a stressful journey getting from UK to Rio.

We have five lovely horses travelling that fit, well and

healthy and we are looking forward to going to see how they get on in

Rio. You think about putting your horse on an aeroplane and it seems

an alien concept, but they are all used to travelling and I have made

sure they are fit and ready to go. This is an interesting flight

because of where it is going and who it is for. But it is bread and

butter stuff, on a weekly basis. At the moment he is really chilled. I

think he thinks he's going on a ferry, because that is the only

travelling has done to another country, on a buried. The flight is

11 hours of 14 and there is the standing around before and after. He

could be travelling to 24 hours and it is exhausting for them. I am

struggling with the concept of handing him over to someone. It is

hard to say this on, here is my horse, look after him. He is a young

horse, and it is the first time he has flown. He is a high maintenance

personality, he is a diva. We don't have the resources and the support

the big teams like the Brits, the Germans and the Astra aliens have.

It is important we take responsibility and put the horses on

ourselves. They have spent the past seven years travelling all over

Europe, all over the world. They are seasoned travellers, very relaxed.

On the plane, they are very settled. I will give them water regularly,

check they are drinking and they look healthy and they will have

their temperature taken before they go on the flight. Basically checking

their general health. It is important they don't spend too many

hours with their heads held up. Couple of hours, feed them off the

ground so they have the clearance mechanism. It helps with their

travel sickness. He is loaded, he is in and eating

his halo which. -- heh. He was so good on the flight. The

horses travelled really well. It was about a 12 hour flight. It takes

time to unload the horses. Then we put them into the holding chorale

and transfer them onto the trucks. From there, convoy to the venue with

a police escort. The time difference is only four hours, so it is not a

lot. We use the first few days for them to catch up on any rest they

might have missed whilst travelling. Important to find horses with the

right temperament to make the long journey and be calm and collected

and produced their best here. Great Britain's team are doing well, lying

fourth. William Fox-Pitt leading, dressage has been done, the next

stage is the cross-country and Monday. Looking forward to seeing

how they get on and you can join us to see how the four British riders

get on. A few viewers have been tweeting in to see how Fabio Basile

won the judo. He delivered what is known as a Ipon, it is final and a

rare move. When it is produced, it means the opponent has no chance to

respond. rare move. When it is produced, it

means the opponent has no chance to respond. Here it is. The Italian in

the blue defeating the South Korean. No wonder he was over the moon. The

move he delivered produces 100 points and it secured the gold medal

for Italy. We are going back to the tennis and

our commentators are into position for what promises to be as brilliant

match between Del Potro and Djokovic. Many would have seen

Djokovic struggle at Wimbledon this year. Del Potro have produced a few

sparkling performances. Now we will join our commentators.

You would say Brazil and Argentina are rivals, especially on the

football pitch. A lot of the fans will be making the move to Rio to

watch this match to support Del Potro. They hope the evening ends

better than it began for Del Potro because he was stuck in an elevator

for 40 minutes. He is looking to face the world number one. Hopefully

he has recovered from that little hiccup, not a very nice experience,

and is ready to roll. Has been a tough road for him with the

surgeries he has had to have after winning the US open in 2009. Three

wrist surgeries and only returning to the tour in February this year.

But he has come back very strongly. He has posted some good wins. The

biggest wins on his return Stan Wawrinka at Wimbledon and the

impressive youngster from Austria. He felt going into this match that

if he played hard, serves well and his forehand is working, he did have

a chance to really test Djokovic. They are on opposite sides there.

There's some Argentinian fans. Hard to replicate this type of atmosphere

on the tour. Both of those men will relish the atmosphere here. Not sure

that Del Potro will enjoyed the pace of the court here, quite so much. It

might play into Djokovic's hands. He is such a good retriever. Then there

is the element of the backhand from Del Potro. Can he drive through the

backhand? He has talked recently about how he's not driving through,

he is mostly slicing. If he does that against Djokovic, will he get

away with it against Djokovic. You do feel he does have to drive

through the backhand a little more in this instance. Of course, you

hope they will be comfortable doing so? It was the left wrist of Del

Potro back cause the problems, and it in packs the way he can hit the

double handed backhand. So, we shall see. He does have the ability to win

cheap points via the server and the forehand, crushing the forehand. A

couple of years ago, there was some comparison with Fernando Gonzalez,

who had the bigger forehand. Fernando himself said no, he just

edges it a little bit more. A few more serves despite time being

called. First set. Djokovic, to serve. Thank

you, quiet please. Ready. Play. Novak Djokovic challenged on the

right-hand side. The ball was called out.

Novak Djokovic has two challenges remaining.

Djokovic saving those three break points in the first game.

Heavy forehand from Djokovic. He is really going to be looking to move

Del Potro around and really get him on the stretch. Tall man, six foot

six, Del Potro, if anything that is a weakness, it is the mobility.

He did well. Djokovic was not what he wanted it to be. Great return,

Djokovic, trying to fulfil that strategy of getting Del Potro on the

move but I think he was looking for that one. Did well to get out and

control it down the line. Good that all from Djokovic. -- good

at all. I think we might be using the word crash quite often

throughout the course of this match -- crash. It describes the way Del

Potro takes on the forehand. Not the worst approach from

Djokovic. He gave Del Potro space to take advantage of the backhand.

Pre-injury, the more reliable side was clearly the backhand.

Gets down so well to the backhand. Good athleticism for an man of his

height. We are going to see a lot of that.

Nice combination from Djokovic, the drop and the log, Spiderman, Del

Potro style. Talk about taking it out of the air

for the first time. Fascinating matchup this with the

big serving from Del Potro and the returning of Djokovic, strength of

both men respectively. He has the opportunity to follow it

up, Djokovic. Did not need to play the volley there, good forehand

approach. And much more comfortable second

service game for Djokovic. That match started so nicely, great

atmosphere in the stadium. Juan Martin Del Potro, in this first

set is serving against Novak Djokovic, had his opportunities in

the first game to break, unable to capitalise, the world number one has

his nose out in front. He is such a fine return, Djokovic,

Del Potro didn't hold in his first service game, Djokovic was getting

those back with good depth. -- he is such a fine return. All

over that. Thought that was going to creep

over. Some heavy hitting off Del Potro, really looking for it.

He is going to have to come up with some fairly exceptional service to

counter the attack, the great returns from Djokovic.

Just like that. Big serve and a great follow-up. Has to be so alert

to the fact that Djokovic will be getting a lot of returns back in

play. The man whose ranking now is 145th because of his injuries. Had

to go to the ITF in terms of being able to play at the Olympics. And is

better for it. First meeting in three years. We talked about the

match in 2012, the bronze medal match, 75-macro, 6-4.

Enormous. At so far is working for Del Potro. That's got to give

Djokovic, pause for thought. Djokovic is getting the big back in

play, but it is teeing up the forehand. The big follow-through,

generating so much pace with that acceleration.

Del Potro said he felt alive again after beating Stan Wawrinka after

being in the wilderness for so long. I was so happy for him. On that

stage at Wimbledon, where they have also met B-sides at the Olympics, it

was a tremendous encounter, semifinals the year Andy Murray won

the title. Djokovic beating Del Potro in four hours 30 minutes.

Classic. It looked like Djokovic is going to win it, he was of a break

at 4-3. Then Del Potro rallied. When he hits that forehand the way

he can, Del Potro. It is a pretty amazing shot to watch. We have

missed it while he has been out of the game. There is the trademark

Djokovic. Sliding. That was not coming back. Planted by

Del Potro. Pressure on the server of Djokovic, here.

Hitting fewer on the backhand side but it is Djokovic who wins the

rally. So far, a pulsating first set. 3-2. This looked like it was

going to be a tough match between Djokovic and Del Potro. Liam

Pitchford is inaction in singles of the men's table tennis which is

available online, the Red Button, satellite and cable. But you can

access up to 24 live streams on the website and the BBC Sport website

where there is a full schedule of events available for what is going

on here at the Olympics in Rio. Sizzling start in this match.

Football style atmosphere in the stadium.

As mentioned, football style atmosphere in the stadium.

That is going to do the trick for Del Potro every time. He threatened

Djokovic's last service game. So right now, mentally it is Del Potro

with the slight edge, even though he is behind on the scoreboard. It is

on serve. It was long. Very good percentage on

first serves. He will want a continuation of that.

Shepherding. Quite gentle when it comes to those things, Djokovic. He

never kills the wildlife. Just the opponents.

Generally, the longer the rallies go, the more they are in favour of

Djokovic. He needs to keep the points pretty short, Del Potro.

Facing somebody like Djokovic, that can be difficult. Has got to temper

things without going to too much. Has done a great job so far in

picking his moment to go for the big shots.

Usually spot on with that shot, the inside out forehand. Just get the

feeling Djokovic isn't on song out here and is a little perturbed by

what is coming at him from the other end of the court. That looked to his

camp after he missed the shot. Three games all in this first set.

Special moment for Djokovic when he won the medal at the Olympics.

Didn't play in 2008, just missed out on the ranking in Beijing. It was

the summer of 2008 when he really made his breakthrough and won four

straight tournaments. Would go on to win the US Open 2009.

A well constructed point from Djokovic. He is loving the

atmosphere. He's liking what happened in that point. This is the

type of point he will be looking to play as most as possible. Great

shape on the forehand from Djokovic, moving away from Del Potro. Low risk

shot as well. Just getting his opponent moving all over the court.

He missed it! He's not at all convinced about this challenge. He

has already made a mistake with one challenge. This one as well. But not

by much. Djokovic, has got the feeling he was

let off the hook. I'd thought that was very smart by

Djokovic, early in the rally, deliberately hitting a short

forehand. Something Roger Federer has done so well against all

players. Hitting a short little slice, opening up the call.

Djokovic, did so. He has settled after the opening game where he had

to face those break points. Rushed on that shot. Annoyed with

himself because he's got into this position in this service game by

crafting the service points so well. Not being in a rush to hit the

winner. Or taking Del Potro out of where he wants to be.

Forehand is long. First set 4-3, to Djokovic.

Really fascinating match. But to remind you that Liam Pitchford is in

action against the SAP Korean in round three of the Men's Singles at

the table tennis. That is available on the Red Button, website and the

BBC Sport app. A reminder on BBC One, Andy and Jamie Murray are in a

tremendous match at the moment in front of an easier stick crowd,

supporting Andre Sark and Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil.

Orange now on the business end of this opening set between Juan Martin

Del Potro and Novak Djokovic. The first round encounter in Rio,

special first round encounter. So maybe now the door is open for

Novak Djokovic. A little skip in Novak's step. A first fault from Del

Potro on serve. What a great serve. Always

interesting to analyse the mental aspect of the game. Del Potro can

come out at the start of the match very free, not a lot of pressure,

you would say, and then as we go on in the first set, now the pressure

comes in this situation, serving at 3-4. Handling it very well after the

double fault, especially. His team looking on, worked for a

while recently with Dani Valverdu, formerly in the cab of Andy Murray

and Tomas Berdych. A South American, Dani Valverdu.

Talking about that short little slice, he hit it there but he

handled it so well. I think he's got to expect that shot from Djokovic,

and what he did so well was get down, move forward after it really

get some penetration on his own slice. Jumping into the Djokovic

backhand. He is always some unfairly comfortable going forward, Del

Potro, especially for a bigger guy. -- some one rarely comfortable. --

fairly comfortable. A bit of a surprise tactic from

Novak, there. Did not pay off from him. That is a good stretch from Del

Potro. Yes, an imposing figure at the net because of his long reach.

He's hard to get past, or over. That is where Djokovic has done

well, when he has been able to drag Del Potro wide. Not allow him to get

balance on the forehand. Yes, well, he is going to have time on the

ball, Del Potro, he can let rip and make things very difficult for

Djokovic. A double fault in the previous game

from Del Potro and now for Djokovic. 15-15.

And that is where he wants to see Dell Putra, well behind the

baseline, two yards behind the baseline. -- Del Potro. A good,

heavy forehand from Djokovic. Again, getting Del Potro moving.

Super point from Djokovic. Kept the ball very deep. Didn't allow Del

Potro to get a big strike on any of those shots, put him on the

defensive. He set up the point nicely, the

opening was therefore the inside. This is what I'm saying about out of

sorts, we are not accustomed to seeing Novak missing those kind of

shots, just feeling a little bit of pressure, out here. Again, a fairly

tight situation. Lets not forget how much he wants a

victory, here, in Rio. This is such a tough first round.

Boris Becker, looking a tad concerned.

He will be more concerned now! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That is brilliant play from Del Potro. Taking advantage of Djokovic,

who has really gone back into his shell in this game, a few

uncharacteristic errors, and Del Potro just itching to step up.

UMPIRE: Quiet, please. Del Potro is the one who is playing more free.

Fourth break point. Solid play. That is what he needed.

Thinking well out there. Bringing in the short volley, drawing Del Potro

to the net and then taking his time on the pass. The mark of a champion.

Well done to both players, there, because he asked the question, Del

Potro, he had seen Djokovic make a few errors in this game. Came up

with a big shot, Djokovic. That one was more difficult,

stunning from Djokovic! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And they are saying, "More, please!" He is enjoying the support of the

crowd, here, he did a great job in that point of keeping away from the

Del Potro forehand. On so many levels, it is wonderful to watch. He

is back, facing the world number one, that is phenomenal. The tennis

is good, too. Played in excellent spirit. As per

usual with these two players. Mostly!

Fights off the break point, Djokovic. And Del Potro will serve

to stay in the opening set. Fantastic match going on between

Juan Martin Del Potro and Novak Djokovic but here is a reminder of

what you can watch elsewhere. On the Red Button, in fact, on all of these

streams at the moment, Liam Pitchford is currently in action

against Youngsik Jeoung of South Korea, currently 2-1 in favour of

the South Korean table tennis star. Liam Pitchford with a bit of work to

do as they continue into the fourth game. Meanwhile on BBC One, Andy and

Jamie Murray are in a tough match, into a tie-break between them and be

Brazilian pair, Andre Sa and Thomas Baluchi. -- Thomas Baluchi. Quite

the Davis Cup atmosphere on court and meantime in the beach

volleyball, which we promised we would show on BBC Four but we are

sticking with the tennis at the moment between Djokovic and Del

Potro, which is proving to be a really cracking match at the moment

but you can watch this on the website and on the BBC sport app and

of course, there are 24 streams available and a full schedule of

events for you to know what is going on and when. Meanwhile, we are

heading back to the tennis with Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin Del

Potro in the closing stages of the first set.

COMMENTATOR: Pressure up a notch on Dell Putra, now, serving at 4-5. He

will want to maintain his very good first serve percentage, so far, 71%,

winning 80% of his first serve points. Smart serve from Del Potro,

did not try to blast it, went out wide.

A good second serve thereby Del Potro or Djokovic, given his prowess

on returns, should be doing better? I was surprised with the lack of

pace on the second serve. Maybe it surprised Novak that it was that

little bit slower. Perhaps he was put off because he

saw Djokovic approaching. Definitely. He really caused Del

Potro to hesitate. He is able to move the ball anywhere

in the box. That was close. Well done to Del

Potro, holding comfortably. It was important that he made a bit of a

statement. That again puts the pressure back on Djokovic to keep up

his end of things and put in a good service game. He did play after

Wimbledon, Djokovic, at the Rogers cup. Very good preparation heading

into the Olympics. He talked about the upside of losing at Wimbledon,

giving him a chance to freshen up, have some time off. Not what he was

expecting or hoping for, mind you. Oh, what a return.

Sometimes he can be a bit iffy on those, Djokovic.

He did not do nearly enough with the volley. And he paid the price, Del
