Day 2 BBC Two: 22.00-23.15 Olympics

Thanks for joining us here in Rio, where as you can see, Great Britain

are about to kick off in their quarterfinal women's rugby sevens

match against Fiji. Here are Eddie Butler and Clive Woodward.

COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Clive. It is an amazing start for Great Britain.

Great chase by Emily Scarratt. Good delivery on the kick-off from Katie

MacLean. A quick apology for the poor quality of the vision. We are

doing our best with it. The good news is that Great Britain have just

taken the earliest of Leeds against Fiji. And Katie MacLean at the two

extra points. Hello, Clive. Team GB, wonderful start. And also the extra

two points. Great kick-off against IK Kim

acclaim. It is so important in these games -- Katy McLean.

A wonderful start to the game for Team GB.

Britain in defence, watchful. A sudden burst of speed from the

captain. Good running by Fiji. The shape of the defence was good.

Daveua again. Naiqato scores for Fiji. That upset the United States

in the very first game. Team GB hanging off a bit here. Watching the

footwork of the Fijian women, they are wonderful to watch. That was a

wonderful score from them. But they are just a bit passive in defence,

Team GB. They have got to get physical with this Fijian team. As

you say, great start. But just like the men, they have great athletes.

You have got to get into them, you can't hang off against these Fijian

women. Naiqato takes her place. It is not going her way.

Brilliant send by Alice Richardson. Having been set back on their heels

by the Fijians, Great Britain strike back. Katy McLean has taken all the

spice, putting it behind the Phrygians. Great pace by Joanne what

more. Again, the kicking is excellent.

That was a fantastic try. Find the space and keep it in play. One quick

glance up by what more to see who was in support. Richardson was

there. Penalty, quickly taken by Skerritt.

-- scarabs. There is room outside Emily

Scarratt. Watmore wasn't going at full pelt. A

bit of an anti-climax at the end of it all. Great attack building by

Team GB, but they didn't need to give it away. Just keep the ball and

keep playing. This game is about keeping possession. Don't give Fiji

any chance. Keep the ball in your hands, keep it in field. But a good

start by Team GB. They will be pleased. We are into overtime at the

end of the first half. The line-out will take place. The challenge from

Abbey brand, but Fiji have possession. It has gone very

scrappy. This is a chance for Great Britain to end this first half with

a third score. It is for Joanne Watmore. A real bonus at the end of

this first half, and it is looking very good for Great Britain. A third

strike, 19-7, with the conversion to come. Fiji showing a certain lack of

experience. The ball should have been hooved down the other end of

the field. Team GB got a vital score. It is looking good. The women

looked in great shape. Do not underestimate this Fiji team. They

beat the United States yesterday and they have been training hard with

the men's team. There are a good site, but Team GB are having a

wonderful day. This morning against Canada was the best I have seen them

play for a long time. And they are playing for big prizes now. 19-7 at

half-time. The other five players come off the bench to join the

huddle in the middle. Team GB have been good at using

their bench. Most of the players had a big role to play in the second

half of the game. Watch out for Emily Scott. She has made a big

difference to the team. Chris Cracknell, the coach of Fiji. This

was the start, straight from the kick-off. You talk about the

athleticism of the Australians and the New Zealanders, but this Team GB

have a lot of great athletes. It is wonderful to see Abbie Brown

running. And the Fijian team are bringing something new. They are

going to be a very strong sevens nation, no doubt. This kick was

something different. I loved the look up from Joanne what -- Joanne

Watmore. 32nd minutes, get the ball and keep

it, OK? . Simon Middleton, talking to the women. I think he was saying,

be patient, keep the ball. It is all about possession. Let's make sure we

focus on this restart. Tinai will take the kick. The referee checks

what state Great Britain are in. They say, we are absolutely ready.

Good restart. Katy McLean whips the pass to Emily Scarratt.

McLean couldn't get the past because Fiji rushed up. Katy McLean slightly

overplayed that. The Fijian defence are very good. They keep moving the

ball around, and the gaps will come. Good attacking defensive work by

Alice Richardson. Here comes the danger runner, Naiqato. Nobody holds

a ball in one hand quite like her. Excellent work by Fiji to get back

there. Well played by Emily Scarratt, the captain of this very

talented Team GB team. The kick was great, because there was no one at

home. Emily Scarratt has hurt her wrist, by the look of it. I think

she's OK. She is back on her feet. It was Litia Naiqato who stayed

down. It is twice now that Team GB have had a space cause problems. I

think Emily will be fine. This is an impressive performance from Team GB.

A lot of pressure on these women tonight. This is the first time

playing in the quarterfinals of an Olympic Games, and each of them has

acquitted themselves well. We have some bench players coming on now. We

could do with one more score to make this game safe. This is Scarratt, in

full flow. She was just about to hurt herself. I think she's getting

attention because Fiji have deep concerns. Yes, Fiji lose a play-off.

The replacement is already on -- they lose a player.

Lavenia Tinai, sorry, Raijeli Daveua comes off. Natasha Hunt, meanwhile,

ready to put the ball into the scrum. Good pressure by Fiji. Great

Britain comeback with the ball. Amy Wilson-Hardy scrambles it away.

Alice Richardson. Can she present it? Yes, she can, penalty. Team GB

have got to trust the hands, keep on moving the ball. It has been on a

couple of times now and they keep on moving the ball back. Keep on moving

the ball and the tries will come. They work hard on their set plays

and this is a big moment in the game. Hunt, to Richardson. 'S

character. -- Emily Scarratt. Wilson Hardy gets it. Katy McLean. Now

there's a real chance and now the past two Natasha Hunt. Good footwork

and good defence by Fiji. Wilson Hardy. Katy McLean, brilliant

positioning by Abbie Brown and that could be the try that sends Great

Britain into the semifinals, into the last four. That is why Katy

McLean is in this team, a wonderful show and go that gets Brown under

the posts. Decides to hold the ball with two hands, beautiful pass. And

this woman, Abbie Brown, what a talent she is and along with her,

Joanne Whatmore and Amy Wilson-Hardy, Team GB have some real

gas out wide and the substitutes now coming on. They think the game is up

now so fresh legs coming on which will add even more power to this

game. Katy McLean coming off, wonderful game from her. Adding the

conversion. Heather Fisher comes on. Emily Scott is on as well. REFEREE:

Play on, quickly. Alice Richardson told to hurry things up. Joanne

Whatmore on one side. Confusion, and it will be a Great

Britain line-out. That will do. Watmore no rush now. The great thing

about Team GB, when you bring the subs on, the quality of the players

coming on, like Claire Allan, Emily Scott, and the Welsh woman, Jasmine

Joyce, who has got real pace. It really adds to the team. This is not

weakening it, this is just fresh legs and quality Team GB players

coming onto the field. Danielle Waterman is on. REFEREE: Not

straight. Fiji will have the option. The line-out has generally been good

in the whole tournament with the women. That was disappointing from

Danielle Waterman, not straight is a real error. You just have to get it

in and win the ball and play. Claire Allan has come on. Emily Scott

chases. And she always makes an impact. The tackle leads to the

turnover, scrum down, Great Britain, put in. Emily Scott, technically,

one of the best tacklers in the sport. She has just come on and has

been absolutely amazing. She is absolutely technically strong and

very powerful. Danielle Waterman to feed the scrum. Time off, as Fiji

make some changes. And they bring an Luisa Tisolo. And Asena Rokomarama.

Team GB have had some good days but this day has been a very special

one. Canada was an impressive performance and the night is just as

impressive, under huge pressure. Danielle Waterman cannot get the

ball away first time and Fiji give away the penalty. Waterman takes it

quickly. Now then, here is the flyer, Jasmine Joyce. Just stopped

short. Great Britain will have the throw in at the line-out. Jasmine

Joyce did very well, went on the outside and the key thing was not

going at the touch. She just slides down, keep the ball in play and Fiji

kick the ball out. Team GB have possession, possession is everything

in Rugby sevens. That line-out does not go right

again. Good shadowing work, there. Emily

Scott for the tackle, does not quite make it an Luisa Tisolo. Fiji going

nowhere for the moment. Trying to get the ball away, Litia Naiqato.

And they have. Working the overlap. Good defensive work and the hooter

goes. The whistle has gone as well for full-time as well. Claire Allan

raises a hand in the air, number one, giving Heather Fisher a big

hug. They are through to the last four. Great Britain have beaten Fiji

26-7. Yeah, wonderful display, and watching them down on the field,

seeing the hugs. All the hard work, Team GB, ranked number four, hoping

they were going to make the semifinals are now they have. Unless

there's a huge upset, will play New Zealand tomorrow. It is the quality

of the performance. They really have played well. Some real pace in this

team that I like, real pace in the wide positions. They should have no

fear of going head-to-head with New Zealand because... Well, we have

dizzy, New Zealand have the USA to play in their quarterfinal. -- we

will have to see. That is coming up shortly but for the moment, Great

Britain Sebi through, wonderful performance against Fiji.

And we had to talk to one of the victorious members of the team in a

moment. They are having a debrief and they huddle in the corner. In

the interim, let's talk to the most powerful man in world rugby, the

chief executive, Bret Gosper, who has been watching events in the last

couple of days and will over the next few days with a huge amount of

interest and a huge amount of pride as well, I think. Yes, we've waited

a long time to come back to the Olympics, nearly two years -- 92

years and things are going very well. When he saw Brazil play

Colombia in Rio in the Olympic Games about an hour ago -- ago, did you

think it was slightly surreal? The sport has come a long way and it's a

very different context for us. It's a real development context, plays

people are not used to seeing rugby which is good for the game. We are

seeing some surprising teams do very well. How much is this still the

money game and the money from National Olympic committees and from

world rugby as well, needing to be invested at the second and third

level Games and in seven does well to try to bridge the gap that there

still is? It is still about investing in the team and having the

money but the Olympics provides a much broader platform through the

fact that each region allows access to this tournament and we invest in

all of those regions. It is broadening the footprint of rugby

beyond its traditional comfort zone. How much do you see sevens as the

sport that will broaden the game more than 15th because of its

invalidity, if you like? That's it, it is simpler for spectators to

understand and for players and for countries to invest in and become

very good, very quickly. In terms of broadening the game, wherever the

Olympics are in 2024, what would your ambition be for sevens? Our

ambition by then is to have several different levels of top elite sevens

game but for sevens to continue to play its role as a developer of the

sport, not just for sevens but 15th as well. It's going to be

fascinating, Danielle Waterman is here! Hello, well done, I mean, they

are a good side but in the second half, you put them to the sword. Bay

are fantastic site and we knew we would have to play 40 minutes and

the girls did a cracking first half and put enough points on the board

to take the pace out of it a little bit but really pleased, semifinal

time! Good day all round because you played really well against Canada

this morning. Yeah, look, we needed to make some improvements from

yesterday, to stick to our own processes. We are just really

pleased to get this out of the way and now the semifinals. When you --

will you watch the USA and New Zealand? We will have a little

watch, not now because we have to recover but we will have the video

to get through. We have just spoken to the chief executive of world

rugby about what an amazing event this has been for the sport. How has

it been for you and the rest of the side? Fantastic on everything from

the training camp we had with Team GB to being able to pull on the

shirt and come out to a crowd like this has been absolutely brilliant

and everything we've ever dreamt of, just got to go all the way now.

Congratulations. Danielle, and obviously, still one more

quarterfinal to go. Earlier today, really interesting game between

Australia and Spain which Australia won and they will play Canada in one

semifinal. It's going to be Great Britain but against two? We will

find out later. And if you want to look at the

potential opposition, the USA against New Zealand, the match will

be live on BBC Four but those are the results job was mentioning,

Australia beating Spain 24-0 and Canada beating France 15-5 and Great

Britain victorious over Fiji, 26-17. -- 26-7.

Repetition, it's an art. Day in, day out. Eat, sleep, train, repeat.

Mastering skills, building your strength. There are no short cuts.

They said practice makes perfect and it is true. This is about fine

tuning. Precision. But most of all, it is about passion. That is what

drives you to be better, gives you the strength to go again and again.

So you keep going. Until you are ready to deliver. When it really

counts. That's the art of repetition.

And the voice of Michael Johnson make that special, doesn't it? We

are switching our attention to gymnastics, yesterday we saw the

British men in their qualification for the team and various individual

events and today it is the turn of the women and let's join the

commentary team of Christine Still, Craig Heap and Beth Tweddle.

COMMENTATOR: Rebecca Downie, European champion on the bars, very

important for her, she knows she has to be at our best to try to qualify

for the final. Hop into the forward elements to start. This is the

complicated uprise into catching nicely. So an full-term,

immediately, another Tkatchev, Pack salto, down to the no bar -- low

bar, putting his work together, still one more release to come, here

it is in the straddle position. Really packing the difficulty in,

needs a clean this mound, winding up, here, full twisting double back,

great routine from Becky Downie! That should be a final for her.

Well, solid routine, a little bit of catch on the feat at the start but

did really well to recover from that. 14.733 is currently eighth

place. Look at this, great height and a flight from the low bar to the

top. This is a really difficult release. That is the clear circle

into the Tkatchev. You can see, catching the feat on the bar. That

will be deducted up to 0.5. The turns were very well executed, a

full-term into another straddle Tkatchev. -- a full turn. You can

see from the camera above, the Tkatchev and then winding up, full

twist in, double truck dismount. And 15.2334 Rebecca Downie. -- 15 .233

four Rebecca Downie. It's going to be a long wait for the rest of the

day. Onto the beam for Brazil, Flavia Serraglio. -- Flavia

Serraglio. As a junior, she wowed us at the youth Olympics. Such a

classically beautiful gymnast. She sets up the series, layout, layout,

two layout somersaults. She was tying it off but she was confident

enough to pull it back. -- a tiny bit of. And the round off, really

beautiful work, here, from the Brazilian team. Always got perfectly

pointed toes, straight legs, lovely height on the jumps, tiny bit short

on the split jump. Elegant hands. Front somersault as well, cleanly

into the jump. These gymnasts from Brazil are really working

confidently. Lovely free walkover, straight into another one. Look at

that series of three elements in a row. Straight back, no hesitation,

double pike dismount. That was really a special routine. I would be

very disappointed if we don't see that in the final. 16 years of age

and what a performance. The stadium is absolutely erupting. And I can

see why. Absolutely jam-packed from start to finish. Most people put two

acrobatic elements together, but three? Flip, layout, layout. Did

really well to make the adjustments. Look at that. Another acrobatic into

the leap combination. Some gymnasts struggled to touch the head, but no

problems there. The first 15 we have had all day look at that execution.

We only saw Becky Downie on the bars. How did the rest of them do?

We started off with flabby, who unfortunately had a fall. Ruby went

with the full twisting somersault. You can see the coach standing in

for safety. Very original work. This routine is full of difficulty.

Ruby has two routines, and she opted for the easy one and scored a great

14.8. Had the whole team gone clean, I guess she would have had freedom

to try the more difficult routine, but that was a team job.

Ellie Downie started with a good bar routine. Really powerful gymnast,

has had to work hard to control the power. Nicely into the front

somersault. But this is the so difficult element, so blind. She

makes it cleanly. Now she needs to keep the focus. Here are the two

leaps, one with a half turn. This is very difficult as well. Double spin.

A little over spun, but she holds onto the landing. She has had three

difficult spins and leaps. Must focus for the acrobatic series. And

the jump straight into the free cartwheel. Nice, smooth dance work.

We saw Ellie attempt a hugely difficult dismount in training. Will

she go for a year? No, she has played safe for the team, but that

was a solid performance. That was at clean, smooth routine. It certainly

was, and it shows the potential of this young gymnast. There is the

score. Good flexibility in the leaps. Very solid. Well done,

Eilidh. 14.54 Ellie Downie. Great score.

Rebeca Andrade is a special gymnast. She had a big injury last year and

has fought to be back so quickly. And lovely landings, lovely

twisting. Very important for the gymnast to

interpret the music well. A really good floor routine, tell a

bit of a story. And have great tumbling. Super double tuck.

Lovely elevation and split on that leap. She has not slipped on the

landing sofa. What do we get here? Another fantastic finish. The crowd

are going wild, and so they should. That was sensational. Creative and

expressive. Brazil are really making the most of competing on home soil.

The atmosphere in this arena is absolutely electric. She really did

perform and sell this routine, Christine. She really did. She is

one of the gymnasts with big vaults as well. So I think Brazil are going

to be a team to be reckoned with here, for sure. We have seen lots of

teams struggle getting used to the rebound from the floor. But maybe

the home advantage for these guys has helped them out. Over to the

bin. Representing Britain, Becky Downie. We have seen her younger

sister. Becky Downie first went to the Olympics in 2008 at Beijing as a

16-year-old. That will be very disappointing to her. She is really

a beautiful beam worker and she would have been helping to build on

the performances of the younger members of the team. Free cartwheel

layout, somersault, nice and secure. A little adjustment.

Leap, spin, acrobatic element and another jump. Really showing us what

she is capable of. But the very first move, she faltered on. And

this is a difficult finite element. -- final element.

She needs to make sure this is a secure dismount. She does. That will

be very disappointing to Becky. We have had some good performances

before, but she will be disappointed with herself. Those are her two

pieces done. She will be disappointed. We can see the front

somersault again. A mark was lost. But in the rest of the routine, she

composed herself and performed well. 13.3 for Becky Downie. You can see

the team standings. Great Britain are still in first, with 87. It is

very close between second and sixth place.

Up on floor, representing Great Britain, Ruby Harrold. One of the

leaders of the GB team. She has been an ever present member of the World

Championship teams. Very nice spin to start. Good double Arabian to

start. Very nice leaps. This is a difficult

series. Lots of gymnasts have come unstuck on these rebound is, but

Ruby negotiated it well. Dramatic, powerful routine.

They can spring, double twisting front, very clean into the spin.

Great start for Great Britain. It was a determined performance from

Ruby Harrold, first up on the floor. This is the big fault, Rebeca

Andrade. Well, that was stratospheric. You can see the

difficulty rating goes up from 5.8 to 6.3. Another very good round.

Makes the two and a half, just a little step on the landing. Ruby

Harrold has a good start, with a 5.5 difficulty.

Straight into the start of the Tkatchev. Difficult start. The big

releases. Straight into the dismount. Well,

that was a bar routine that will challenge. Definitely. We have so

often seen her not quite pull it together at the big moment, but that

was full of confidence and determination. The score for Rebeca

Andrade is a very big score. She seems pleased with that, as she

should be. I don't think we have seen a much better than that.

Claudia Fragapane needs to be secure on this first tumble. That is the

way you do it. There are difficult second tumble. It is hard to time

these double Arabian is on the floor. Just a step out.

Lovely height on these leaks. -- leaks.

A little bit of original acrobatics, there. Now we have seen big double

straight full twist, double pike Arabian, and this is her twisting

double, needs to control the adrenaline coming year. She does,

lovely triple twist. -- adrenaline, here. Clean on the double spin,

dancing right through to the end. Needs a big push because this is a

big final tumble, come on, double somersault, she made it! What a

show. Well done, Daria Fragapane. -- Claudia Fragapane. That was

sensational, the pocket rocket has delivered. That was action packed

from start to finish. Such an expressive performance. Talk about

selling a routine. I'm sold. Look at this huge, high into the double pike

Arabian, a step forward, but I think she managed to stay inside the

floor. Then look at this, a lot tidier in the twisting part. That is

the triple twist, that is a requirement. Some gymnast struggle

to start with the double layout but not Claudia, that is what she

finishes with. Actually, Craig, that is the first gymnast we have seen be

strong enough to finish with the double straight somersault. We have

seen her buckle on that tumble in the past on a number of occasions

but there was no buckling today. I hope that gets rewarded from the

judges. But I think Ellie Downie had a bit of an unfortunate time, Beth,

can you fill us in? The first to Tom were fantastic and as she was going

for the last one, she just stepped off the floor so they have taken her

out of the arena. Whether she comes back in, the fact is, she walked

off. So she is fine. There we go, 14.333, Claudia Fragapane on the

floor. Amy Tinkler comes to the vault. Another double twist

Diatchenko, and it is wrapped in. Solid vault from a meeting -- Amy

Tinkler a real, powerful before gymnast. -- little gymnast. This has

been a big change in a British team, the vaulting and the consistency. Oh

yes, it has. But you know, doubles were at one time something we kind

of dreamt about but this is lovely, you know, easy body, nice and

upright, just be step back, that will probably keep her out of the

really high, well, very high 14th and 15th but it is a lovely vault.

Able to do a bit more in the future, not far off the two and a half

twist. Amy Tinkler has done very well, 14.833, so 15 without that

step. Ellie Downie has recovered and is going to vote for the team. Into

58, come on, Ellie, double twist, might be the best we have seen so

far. She is a very special vaulter, Ellie, lovely technique, here,

haired fixed, lift, high, wrapping, opens out, just that hop,

disappointed if that does not move up into the 15 Barra and of course,

she is one of the two Great Britain gymnasts that have worked all

around. 14.833, given an average of 14.683, Ellie Downie. China in first

with 175, then Russia with 174, and only a few tents behind, Great

Britain and Brazil, both on 174, only one tenth in it.

Girls, you are third at the moment but first, Ellie, you had us all

worried, what happened? In my bird tumble, I blogged a little bit too

hard and I've done a couple like that in training and got away with

it but I just went for the punch and I thought I would be all right but

my legs buckled! I landed on my neck and heard a bit of a crunch. I was

like, I'll be fine, just get to the end, it's the Olympics. Then on my

last tumble I felt a bit dizzy so I decided not to risk hurting myself

again so I stopped. But then it is kind of like an initial Bing, you

panic at first but then you realise you are not too bad. I'm a bit stiff

but they put me in a wheelchair when I went out and I was like, no, I

want to do the vault, get me back out there! I want to finish the

competition. A true team player if ever there was one but just to

confirm, you feel OK, do you have to get any more checks? The physio and

Doctor will check me out again, I had a bit of a bomb in podium

training said to be competing was a bit of a battle. I am glad I am

here. We are glad of that. Some of the performance, you must have been

worried for your sister but at the end of the day, your third as it

stands. The team overall has done an amazing job. Qualification is or was

the hardest and we did have a couple of little mistakes but when we look

at the team title, the team is what we came here for and hopefully we

are going to make the team final and get another opportunity to compete.

That's the main thing and it's just about enjoying being at the

Olympics. Claudia, your first Olympics experience but you had to

go on the vault after watching Ellie and on the floor as well, so what

goes through your mind when you see your team-mate hurting and

potentially seriously? She's my really good friend so I was

panicking but the other girls kept me well and said I should still do a

good performance and the coaches said I had to forget about her even

though it was really hard! I tried to do the best vault that I could.

Seeing that she got back up and went and did that vault, I'm really proud

of her. Another strong vault from you, Amy. All around, how happy are

you with your first Olympics appearance? I'm really happy with my

performance and the team, we have done incredible. To qualify for the

team final was the main goal so I'm really proud. Ruby, as ever, a solid

stored for the team but you got the bronze in Glasgow, you are third as

it stands, some big countries to come but what can you achieve as a

team in Rio? We've got a world medal before and who's to say we can't get

an Olympic medal but qualification is with the hardest day so it was a

case of getting through and doing good enough to qualify to the final

and that is what we have done. Two days and hopefully we will be out

stronger and fighting for the medal. Thanks, girls, and Ellie, we are

pleased you are OK. Incredibly brave from Ellie Downie

because she was crunching her neck, taken off in a wheelchair, recovers

to do the vault. Mark Foster is with me, where you just getting rid of

some chewing gum? I was. Everyone saw! We will reflect on the

something that happened earlier at the Aquatic Centre just behind us

but also tonight, well worth staying up late because... Adam Peaty is

going. And it's going to be a gold medal. Are you definitely saying

that? And I think you are coming over later because you think it's

going to be as well. Riesgo I want to watch that, the 100 metres

breast, coming up at just after 2:50am, British time. It will be

shown as live tomorrow morning so if you don't want to know the result

when you wake up, don't look at social media or anything and you can

watch it again. Let's catch up on the heats from earlier because David

McDaid can tell us what happened with the British women.

They too got underway in the Aquatic Centre with the women's 100 metres

backstroke, Georgia Davies lining up in lane six and has six. -- in her

heat. Hold the water, slipping a bit on the left hand, not too bad, 58.8

is quick, Georgia Davies has gone 59.8 and she will certainly be

through to the semifinal this evening. Training has been going

well but you get yourself down and then you get the nerves because it

is such a big occasion and you just want to come and swim really well.

In the fifth and final heat, the reigning world champion, the

Australian Emily Seebohm, cruised to the semifinals. Plenty of British

interest in the 100 metres breast, too, whether third heat saw the

unseeded Molly Renshaw give it absolutely everything. Molly Renshaw

is going well in two, Molly Renshaw in second, a time of 67.92, second

in her heat is good. Sadly, her time and she would not progress. In the

fifth Fleet, Chloe Tutton was up against Yulia Efimova, the reigning

world champion, cleared to swim at the 11th hour. At the moment, it is

looking like Yulia Efimova, the power, where she has got it from in

the last 50 metres, well, comfortable in the end, goodness me,

65.7. Booing and jeering for the winner, FM over but would Chloe

Tutton's time be enough for qualification? -- Yulia Efimova.

Ruta Meilutyte, only 15 when she won gold in London, was back to defend

her title but it was America's Lilly King who grabbed first place and

there was good news for Zoe Tartan's qualification. Fantastic, another PB

and through to the semifinals. I'm so pleased with that! I'm just

grateful to have another swim. I'm going to enjoy every moment of it

denied. The crowd is incredible, especially all the Brazilians. It is

quite an enclosed space. It gets so loud. It is really energetic and I

love it. Jazz Carlin you only win second place in the heat would

guarantee her a spot in the final of the women's 400 freestyle. That was

impressive, 4:02.8, Jazz Carlin, she has beaten some very good swimmers.

A personal best for Jazz Carlin and in the final she will meet superstar

Katie Ledecky, who was in record-breaking mood. 3:58.7, a new

Olympic record for Katie Ledecky. Katie Ledecky is sensational, she

was only 15 in London and popped up and beat Rebecca Adlington and now,

she is the leading, I guess, the leading name in American women's

swimming. Going in here, she is potentially going to win three gold

medals in the 203, the 400 free at the 800 free. And then she has the

4x200 relay. Jazz had an amazing heat this morning and the and Becky

Bode said when she went in, she looked very light in the water and

she went out hard for it but she does not have a lot of speed, it is

normally the backend, the 800 is a race but she goes into the final

second but Katie Ledecky will win the gold medal and it will be the

battle for silver and Jazz Carlin is in the kind of form that she can win

it. A bit like Hannah Miley last night, the trick is to swim for the

medal. Can Jazz Carlin get a bit luckier than Hannah Miley because

she was touched off for the bronze? I hope so, I really do. This

morning, she looked really good and she will be next to Katie Ledecky

and hopefully not distracted too much. Katie Ledecky will go for the

world record and I think she will beat it. This was this morning with

Jazz Carlin, she looks in control of the race. I have not seen her swim

without confidence since the Commonwealth Games. For her, it is a

mental thing. She has the ability but she shuts off of it and does not

believe she is as good as she is. A lot swimmers tend to have that as do

swimmers but -- as do people but that swim this morning will give her

confidence going into the night. I like the fact the Bridges swimmers

are all wearing red caps because it makes it easier when you look at the

lanes! I wanted to talk to you about Katinka Hosszu because last night

she said a phenomenal world record in the 400 individual medley, faster

than in London. She, her form has improved massively, her husband is

her coach, and she is quite defensive in terms she has taken

legal action against journalist who have suggested other than this being

down to hard work. What is your take? It interesting, she came from

nowhere when she was 16 and that became one of the talking point in

London. You she Wing is 15 seconds slower. It raises eyebrows. With

Katinka Hosszu in London, she believed she was going to win the

race and I think Wing would have beaten her Buddy Guy Matt Ford, and

in the 200 individual medley, she came at eighth, she obviously had

ability, she was world champion before she went to the new coach so

in 2013, she married an American who has since become her coach and she

has had, not huge improvements but more improvements and become

immensely successful and broken world records. It comes down to more

training, they say, and less rating. Her old coach... More racing, less

training, she races all the time. Yes, 100 races a year and she was

the first women to earn over $1 million in a year for racing. But

her old coach, I trained with him in the states for a couple of years and

Yulia Efimova trains there and a couple of other summits... I'm

completely clean by the way! Speaking to him, he told me she was

an unbelievable trainer, pushed herself I'll in the water but for

soft outside it in the gym and her husband come her coach now, is a

real motivator and some people say it is scary, the way he is with her,

that kind of relationship. But some people need that Bush. She's done

psychology major and I guess she can work him out and he did a human

performance major and was a swimmer. It is probably attention to detail.

I like to believe in fairy tales and I be if you do things properly and

he's looked at all the details and got everything right, she is an

exceptional athlete. She's going to be one of the major stars and has a

gold medal already, Katinka Hosszu. Katie Ledecky, world records

falling, one of them broken by Adam Peaty in the heats for the 100

metres breast wrote. Let's round up what happened to the British men who

were in action earlier today. -- breaststroke.

The men's 200 GB freestyle, but this afternoon was all about another guy,

James Guy. James Guy has moved up to second place and is making a move

now. Well done, James. Comfortably through to the semifinals. No shock

to see him qualify, but there were some surprises. The Olympic

champion, the 2012 silver medallist both crashed out. Dreams and

reality. That is what is tattooed on the ankles of GB's Chris

Walker-Hebborn. Today he was hoping to make his dreams come true in the

backstroke. He needs to go mid 53 to make the semifinal. He took third

place but would now have to wait to see if the final heat went his way,

a race that featured the reigning world champion. This is very

impressive indeed. If he can just bring at home, he is going to win

it. Great Britain's Chris Walker-Hebborn will be in the

semifinal. Did you like it? Definitely. I know it is a Brazilian

home crowd and they are not necessarily cheering for us, but I

use it to my advantage. It is a pretty special atmosphere here. I

just want to enjoy every minute. Subvert the atmosphere and the

British swimmers are starting to warm up nicely. Mark, who were you

impressed with from the early use? A lot of guys. Chris Walker-Hebborn

has not had a great year this year. He looked good this morning. He has

made it through to the finals in sixth place. I was really pleased to

see James Guy bounce back, because he had two hard races last night. He

would have been slightly disappointed last night, but looking

back last year, becoming world silver and world gold medallist,

there is a whole expectation from nowhere that weighs on your bit. So

this morning brew the cobwebs away and set him up for a good semifinal

this evening, but it is loaded. Your man, Chad Le Clos, is back, and

looks in exceptional form. It will be a tight race. James Guy is

sharing a room in the Olympic village with Adam Peaty. Tonight is

the night that Adam Peaty could win Great Britain their first swimming

gold medal for a man since 1988. A woman did it twice in Beijing, Becky

Adlington. It is only fair that she gets the interview with Adam.

How are you? Good, thanks. Do you get sick of walking through those

doors? Not really. You must do! Not at five a.m.. Well, positive

attitude. You are positive. A brilliant hundred metres

breaststroke, it is gold to Peaty. You are on the block every day. Do

you visualise what it will be like in real? A little bit. I always like

to visualise a race beforehand. Once you are underwater, the cheering

starts, but you could just feel numbness. Then you take your first

stroke and it is so loud. It might be Peaty! Peaty has got it on the

last stroke, and the world champion is Adam Peaty of Great Britain. Are

you worried about the big crowd, or do you relish it? I love it. The

more people in the crowd, the better I swim. I can swim good, but not

great if there is no crowd. You can't say that, you broke the record

that the British champions the British championships with about two

people in the stands! That was different, because that was London.

I looked up at the scoreboard and it said 57.9. And knowing no one else

has been near that... Your face! I just looked, and looked again, and

again. Then I had to take another look, just to make sure it wasn't

going to be adjusted. Then it was like, yeah, world record. Do you

think you would have had the same success without Mel, or are you such

a solid team? I don't think I would get anywhere near where I am now. I

have enough trust in her too literally give me something to put

the ahead of the rest. He has openly said that he doesn't think he would

have the success if he wasn't with you. Don't make me cry on TV, Becky!

I am in a very unique position in that I am able to have taken a

14-year-old young man all the way to an Olympic Games as a world

record-holder. I will always be thankful and humble about that

process. You know what an Olympics can be like. It can throw all sorts

of hurdles at you. But I have a boy who has never given in. So if I take

him there, who knows? I always think at an Olympic Games, the amazing

thing is that somebody comes out and goes hiya, and you have never heard

of them. I was the underdog in Beijing. Adlington is going to be

the gold medallist! Do you think there will be someone like that in

the hundred metres breaststroke, or do you think, I'm the best? Mel has

given me names, but unlike, if you put them next to me, then I will

judge. It is not cockiness, it is more confidence. If someone does pop

out, so be it. I welcome the challenge. Looking at my training

and where I am in the gym, I am definitely in the strongest position

I have ever been. So it is looking good, but still my first Olympics. I

have proof I can go to my first World Championships and come back

with a few medals and a world record, so I will just give my best

possible performance. The phenomenal Adam Peaty, and

tonight is his night. He goes in the final of the 100 metre breaststroke

at 2.53, your time. It will be worth staying up for! Mark, I am so

impressed with the way he is taking it all here. It is just another

swimming race. It is easy saying that to yourself. Then they Olympic

Games is the be all and end all and you are going oh, my god, this is

the Olympic Games. But his attitude is, it is just another two lengths.

And the bottom line is that it is and he just has to concentrate. Me,

water, wall, and you forget everything else. He does have the

confidence, and he is a bit like Usain Bolt. If he has a bad day, he

can still win. He is that good. Who else is a potential danger? Cameron

van der Burgh? I don't think anyone else will push him. Just wait a

couple of hours. He will win the Olympic gold medal. It is just

whether he will break the world record. Barring him falling in and

bring a false start, they will not get near him. And it will not matter

to him now that he is the favourite, that he is not the unknown and that

he can't come into his first Olympics under the radar like Becky

did? If you look back over what he has done in the last couple of

years, the Commonwealth Games, the 100 breast and 50 breast, won both.

He had come from nowhere. It is one thing being the hunter. He was

hunting Cameron van der Burgh, and then he became Cameron van der

Burgh. You learn a lot about a person when they are suddenly the

target and how they react. Chasing is the easy thing. Suddenly, you are

the best person and everyone is taking shots at you. He handles it

so well and just keeps getting faster. It is interesting to see how

fast he can go. He kicks differently to everyone else. People will start

copying what he is doing. His attention to detail and what he does

with Mel Marshall, it is about relationships and trust. If you have

that trust and belief in the other person that whatever you throw at

me, I will do because it will benefit me. Adam is young, 21. But

he is not as young as this girl. The very youngest competitor in the

whole Olympics lined up in the swimming. This is Gaurika Singh, 13

years old. She survived the earthquake in Nepal in April last

year. She sheltered under a table. She is in the green cap. She is

going into the lead. This was in her heats. She was in Kathmandu when the

earthquake struck for the Nepalese swimming Championships. She goes to

school in London. She is starting ninth-grade next month. Here she is

in the 100 metre backstroke heats. And it may not be the fastest time

in the world, but Gaurika Singh is a winner at the Olympics because she

touched first. She is just 13. Her father, by the way, works at the

Royal Free Hospital. So they have plenty of friends in Nepal, but also

in the UK and London specifically. Mark, always lovely to see you. Good

luck tonight. Not you, but to Adam Peaty. Are you going to be there?

Definitely. We have just got time to bring you the best of the match

between Great Britain and New Zealand in the men's hockey.

COMMENTATOR: Jackson has a look up, sizes up his opportunities. Great

Britain with a chance to attack the New Zealand goal. It has found the

back of the net, and Great Britain are off the mark, courtesy of David

Condon. The ball fell kindly for Great Britain. That is a positive

start. Condon strikes for the men in red. And New Zealand have equalised

with a stunning strike, delivered by Cain Russell. It is a beautiful

connection. A stunning overhead pass.

What a goal! New Zealand out in front. Hayden Phillips supplies the

perfect accompaniment. A great finish from Phillips on the

backhand. New Zealand had the opportunity. What a first-time ball.

Great second phase work from New Zealand. Phillips absolutely drive

through it. It is a golfer Great Britain. They

have done the job it was Barry Middleton -- it is a goal for Great

Britain. Opens the wrists, finds Middleton. Confusion in the black

sticks' defence. 2-2. And that is how it finished,

with commentary from Matt Chilton and Simon Mason.

Now, a very tight game in the rugby sevens. This is between the USA and

New Zealand for the right to meet Great Britain in the semifinal, a

decisive moment. Commentary comes from Eddie Butler.

That is the first try of the quarterfinal. New Zealand are in the

lead. A simple knock-on gives New Zealand the ball.

Woodman needs no further opportunity.

That was tough on the Americans. They had dominated the game.

And New Zealand went through to maintain the lead and win that much.

So they play Great Britain tomorrow in the semifinal and the final is

also tomorrow. We will soon be switching to BBC One to round up

what happened in the women's road race.

Much better crowds here in the Olympic Park today, and those I have

talked to have said the facility is much better. Queueing didn't take so

long. Most of all, they are enjoying the sport, and that is what we will

be bringing you on BBC One. See you there.
