Welcome back to the cop cab that, day three of Rio 2016 and the

:01:52.:01:54.

Olympic Games well and truly under way and we could have another medal

:01:55.:01:58.

in the pool, with James Guy going in the final of the men's 200m

:01:59.:02:03.

freestyle. Plenty of sport to keep you right entertained. This is

:02:04.:02:06.

what's coming up: boxing first. We'll see our

:02:07.:02:16.

heavyweight in action in a few minutes again a tough Cuban

:02:17.:02:20.

opponent. We'll be at the pool to see if James

:02:21.:02:26.

Guy can win our fifth medal of the Olympic Games. Two superstars of the

:02:27.:02:31.

pool in action as Chad Le Clos and Michael Phelps go in the men's 200m

:02:32.:02:36.

butterfly. And a great story emerging in the table tennis. Paul

:02:37.:02:41.

Drinkhall into the last 16, the first Briton to reach that stage

:02:42.:02:51.

since 1992. So this is how we line up? The boxing is up next. We've got

:02:52.:02:56.

wonderful weightlifting to look forward to with the World Champion

:02:57.:03:02.

in action. Then we've got Paul Drinkhall's match at 1:30. James

:03:03.:03:09.

Guy's final is at around 2:21 and it's Phelps, Le Clos, about 40

:03:10.:03:12.

minutes later. Take a look at this - one of the

:03:13.:03:19.

world's most iconic beaches, the Copacabana, dark and a little

:03:20.:03:23.

world's most iconic beaches, the this evening. Today it's been full

:03:24.:03:26.

of beach volleyball fans loving the 2016 Games, Brazilian fans mingling

:03:27.:03:29.

with visitors of all nations. They're proud of their city and

:03:30.:03:33.

their nation as we go into the evening session of day three.

:03:34.:03:38.

But first up this evening, it's boxing and a heavyweight bout and

:03:39.:03:42.

it's going to be a terrific boult, this one, with Great Britain's

:03:43.:03:49.

laurngs Okolie taking on a very tough Cuban. Well this is a really

:03:50.:03:55.

incredible story when you look at Okolie's history. He was serving

:03:56.:03:59.

burgers near the boxing venue for London 2012 but is now one win away

:04:00.:04:02.

from the last eight of the heavyweight division. The

:04:03.:04:05.

23-year-old from London is actually on a sports scholarship at the

:04:06.:04:10.

University of East London but has deferred his studies until after the

:04:11.:04:14.

Games. He's looking for top marks this this bout. So we're heading to

:04:15.:04:19.

the Rio Centro, next to the Olympic Park, a venue built in 1977, which

:04:20.:04:25.

has previously hosted pan American Games events. Commentary comes from

:04:26.:04:31.

Lawrence McIntosh and Ricci Woodhall.

:04:32.:04:42.

We're under way in the 91kg heavyweight division. The man

:04:43.:04:47.

wearing blue who has just taken an arcing right hand over the top is

:04:48.:04:54.

Cuba's Erislande Savon, ranked number two in the world and in the

:04:55.:04:58.

tournament. He's the reigning World Championship silver medallist at

:04:59.:05:03.

91kg. His opponent is 23-year-old Lawrence Okolie from East London.

:05:04.:05:07.

One of the ten-man British boxing team. And two women in a 12-strong

:05:08.:05:11.

British boxing squad as well. #7 when these two men met in May - and

:05:12.:05:17.

once again a cracking right hand has put Okolie on to the canvas and it's

:05:18.:05:21.

another calamitous start for the man in red. He was dropped three times

:05:22.:05:25.

in the opening round of the World Series boxing match-up and he's on

:05:26.:05:30.

to the canvas for a fourth time in his second meeting against Erislande

:05:31.:05:42.

Savon. Terrible start for Okolie. He's got to jab and move off to his

:05:43.:05:47.

right. If moves to the left, I walks on to the right hand. He's got to

:05:48.:05:51.

jab and move to the right, move away from that dangerous shot of the

:05:52.:05:54.

Cuban. It's a terrible start but he's recovered again now so he's got

:05:55.:05:59.

to get back to using that and get back to being positive. He came into

:06:00.:06:03.

the contest in a confident mood. He's got to return to that now and

:06:04.:06:13.

make no more mistakes. Lawrence Okolie beat three boxers in the top

:06:14.:06:17.

ten to secure his passage to his first Olympic Games in 2016. He's

:06:18.:06:21.

facing a man ranked number two in the world for the second time in a

:06:22.:06:24.

matter of months. So those ricketories over the top-ten

:06:25.:06:28.

opponents show you the type of talent that Lawrence Okolie

:06:29.:06:32.

possesses but he's just a baby in elite international becoming terms.

:06:33.:06:38.

Whereas Erislandy Savon has been competing at elite international

:06:39.:06:44.

level. His sole global title was won way back in 2008. At that time,

:06:45.:06:50.

Lawrence Okolie had no thoughts about entering the sports of boxing.

:06:51.:06:55.

He did sew after -- so after seeing Anthony Joshua win superheavyweight

:06:56.:06:57.

gold and discovered his immense talent but he's facing a man of

:06:58.:07:02.

incredible talent in his own right with heaps of experience as well

:07:03.:07:15.

He's got to be accurate and hit the target. As soon as Savon goes into

:07:16.:07:19.

range, it's got to go out and keep the Cuban at bay. He's got to be

:07:20.:07:23.

fast, accurate, hit the target and bring the right hand into play, keep

:07:24.:07:26.

the gap and keep it long range. You can see Savon is struggling a

:07:27.:07:38.

little bit to close the gap down because Okolie has recovered with

:07:39.:07:41.

that jab. That wasn't bad towards the end of the round, but a terrible

:07:42.:07:46.

start. Most certainly, but Lawrence Okolie got himself out of that

:07:47.:07:50.

opening round after being dropped by a lovely long straight right cross

:07:51.:07:55.

delivered from this man. So calm and in control in the boxing ring and so

:07:56.:07:59.

far Okolie has done nothing to take him out of his rhythm. A good right

:08:00.:08:03.

hand over the top, wasn't it? And there he was there. Let's have a

:08:04.:08:08.

look at it again. He moves in, Savon, there it is there. Just

:08:09.:08:11.

catches him off balance a little bit and he goes down. It's because he

:08:12.:08:16.

left his left hand out slightly more, didn't he? Okolie a little bit

:08:17.:08:20.

slower. It will be across the board for the Cuban.

:08:21.:08:23.

No question there. But he's recovered. And it was a good,

:08:24.:08:29.

positive end to the round for Okolie.

:08:30.:08:39.

So into the second round then. Lawrence Okolie of Great Britain

:08:40.:08:45.

immediately on to the front foot after conceding the opening round

:08:46.:08:49.

across the board, 10-9 in favour of the second-ranked boxer in the

:08:50.:08:54.

world. There's a good right hand by Okolie and it staggered Savon. His

:08:55.:08:57.

boxing stance betrayed him momentarily but he's got it back

:08:58.:09:01.

beneath him now. How badly hurt was he by that? Spurs him back into

:09:02.:09:06.

action as he comes back with a long right hand over the top but Okolie

:09:07.:09:10.

is growing in confident and getting his range against Savon. Now, that's

:09:11.:09:13.

better from Lawrence Okolie. You see, the Cubans are not invincible.

:09:14.:09:18.

If you hit them on the chin, they will stagger. Tremendous shot from

:09:19.:09:22.

Lawrence Okolie. Great right hand, straight, long range. More of it,

:09:23.:09:27.

please, Lawrence Okolie. All of a sudden, this contest taking on a

:09:28.:09:32.

little bit more of an even nature in this second round. There's a

:09:33.:09:35.

terrific left jab once again which catches Savon as he's coming in and

:09:36.:09:39.

just disrupts his boxing stance but now the man is looking to put his

:09:40.:09:42.

punches together. World Series boxing experience in seasons four,

:09:43.:09:47.

five and six, and, during that time, Savon has compiled an astonishing

:09:48.:09:52.

record of 22 contests without defeat over the five-round duration.

:09:53.:09:57.

Lawrence Okolie made his World Series boxing bow this year. And his

:09:58.:10:01.

lone defeat came against the man in blue in the final between the

:10:02.:10:08.

British Lionhearts and the Cuba Domadores, which took place in

:10:09.:10:12.

neutral territory in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It's about 100%

:10:13.:10:15.

concentration. Savon is definitely struggling with closing that gap.

:10:16.:10:18.

He's starting his attack from too far out because he can't get to

:10:19.:10:22.

Lawrence Okolie. That's why the jab has got to be accurate. Slam that

:10:23.:10:26.

jab into his face and then bring that right hand across as well. But

:10:27.:10:30.

keep your distance and range and it's all about concentration and

:10:31.:10:36.

accuracy. And again, made to miss with the attempted right hand. Oh,

:10:37.:10:40.

that's a cracking right hand from Savon but Okolie took it well.

:10:41.:10:43.

Trying to get his jab working but now he holds on to gain some respite

:10:44.:10:47.

because that was a right hand that landed right on the point of his

:10:48.:10:51.

chin. He just oozes class, Savon. He's brilliant. He really is. But

:10:52.:10:56.

he's having a few problems here with closing that gap down. He's

:10:57.:10:59.

quickening his feet up there. That's how he landed the right hand. And

:11:00.:11:03.

that's why Okolie has got to be more concentrated. He's got to be on the

:11:04.:11:08.

ball here, Okolie. And he can do this. He's most certainly already

:11:09.:11:15.

demonstrated his incredible talent, Okolie, just by qualifying for Rio

:11:16.:11:21.

2016, by winning the Europe Olympic qualification event in Samsung.

:11:22.:11:26.

That's when he beat those three top-ten operators. Here he's fating

:11:27.:11:31.

one of the very best of all and he's acquit -- facing one of the very

:11:32.:11:34.

best of all and he's acquitting himself strongly. But it's a strong

:11:35.:11:39.

conclusion to the round from Savon. As you pointed out, that can be a

:11:40.:11:42.

significant tactic in determining the outcome of a round that is

:11:43.:11:47.

competitive otherwise. Savon has got the round again for me. He did the

:11:48.:11:51.

better work. There were signs there. Let's try a listen to Dave Alloway.

:11:52.:11:59.

Good lad. You're doing brilliant... Dave Alloway telling Lawrence Okolie

:12:00.:12:03.

that he's doing brilliantly but the right hand is on the button from

:12:04.:12:08.

South Africa sav. As Savon is coming forward, he's got to be more

:12:09.:12:13.

accurate. That gave Savon problems but as Savon is coming forward, he

:12:14.:12:16.

beat Okolie to the punch. I'm talking about accuracy. As he comes,

:12:17.:12:21.

you've got to hit him with that left hand first. So the opening round was

:12:22.:12:26.

10-9 in favour of Savon and the second round has gone the same way.

:12:27.:12:29.

I should point out that putting a man on the floor in open boxing

:12:30.:12:34.

doesn't necessarily result in a 10-8 round but Savon is in a commanding

:12:35.:12:47.

position. Just some adjustments to the

:12:48.:12:50.

waistband. It has to be visible so the referee can discern what is a

:12:51.:12:54.

low blow or not, that white sash. So now the third and final round under

:12:55.:12:57.

way and the equation is quite simple. Lawrence Okolie of Great

:12:58.:13:00.

Britain needs a massive round because he's trailing by two points

:13:01.:13:05.

on all three of the score cards to the reigning World Championship

:13:06.:13:08.

silver medallist, Erislandy Savon. And of course, when you're built

:13:09.:13:12.

like Lawrence Okolie and possess the type of punching power that he does,

:13:13.:13:15.

a knock-out is always an option but you're going to have to find a chin

:13:16.:13:20.

of a heavyweight who is pretty elusive when he's at his best.

:13:21.:13:25.

Okolie has had some success with his right hand in round number two but

:13:26.:13:29.

he's got to find a Sunday punch here. This contest isn't over yet.

:13:30.:13:33.

Lawrence Okolie can find that right hand. He's just got to bring Savon

:13:34.:13:39.

on to it and we know how good Savon is. We know he's very confident. But

:13:40.:13:43.

he may come over that front foot. One mistake and Okolie can

:13:44.:13:47.

capitalise with that right hand. It's forcing the opponent to do

:13:48.:14:01.

that. Reigning Pan Am games champion, reigning Americas

:14:02.:14:03.

continental champion from last year is Erislandy Savon and really, when

:14:04.:14:07.

you look at some of the results that have gone against him, it's rather

:14:08.:14:11.

surprising that he hasn't picked up global success at the senior level

:14:12.:14:14.

yet and occupied the highest plinth on the podium. He's boxing very well

:14:15.:14:18.

here and comes forward with another pile-driving right hand that causes

:14:19.:14:23.

Okolie to become a little bit disorganised and hold on at close

:14:24.:14:27.

range. Well, Okolie is going for it now but he's got to create a little

:14:28.:14:32.

bit more space. I think he's more effective at boxing at range,

:14:33.:14:36.

Okolie. He's not going to win it here at close quarters. He's got to

:14:37.:14:40.

bring him on to the right hand and that means bringing him on at long

:14:41.:14:45.

range. That's it there, bring him on to the right hand. It's a wonderful

:14:46.:14:48.

left hand from Okolie. He's a young man who oozes confidence to go along

:14:49.:14:57.

with his immense talent. Spoken of winning the Olympic title but he's

:14:58.:15:01.

facing an uphill battle in the final minute of the third and final round,

:15:02.:15:05.

trailing by two points on all three cards after a bad start against

:15:06.:15:08.

Erislandy Savon. But he got back into it in the second round but

:15:09.:15:11.

still didn't do enough to take it on the score cards of the judges. Good

:15:12.:15:15.

right hand again from Savon. Chopping it down on to Okolie.

:15:16.:15:19.

Okolie comes back with a left of his own. And, again, Savon lining him up

:15:20.:15:23.

with a right hand and following with a left hook before coming underneath

:15:24.:15:28.

with a good, right uppercut. He's just feeling it a little bit now,

:15:29.:15:33.

Lawrence. It's a shame. He'll learn from this experience, though. He's

:15:34.:15:38.

had his moments in this contest. It's worth pointing out that

:15:39.:15:41.

Lawrence Okolie had just 25 contests coming into the Rio Olympic Games.

:15:42.:15:47.

Exactly, yeah. Incredible performance to qualify for the

:15:48.:15:52.

biggest boxing tournament on earth in this multisport extravaganza.

:15:53.:15:59.

Produced a terrific victory in his first con test, did Lawrence Okolie,

:16:00.:16:03.

but he ran into the brilliant Erislandy Savon, the tournament

:16:04.:16:07.

number two seed, the reigning World Championship silver medallist in the

:16:08.:16:10.

second round and Savon, for the second time in a matter of months,

:16:11.:16:15.

demonstrated his superiority over the immensely talented, but still

:16:16.:16:18.

inexperienced, Lawrence Okolie, but he's acquitted himself incredibly

:16:19.:16:21.

well during the course of this Olympic tournament. He has indeed.

:16:22.:16:24.

Great shot again from Savon. Okolie will learn from that. He was a

:16:25.:16:29.

little bit in trouble there but nevertheless, he's an inexperienced

:16:30.:16:33.

kid. He's one for 2020, one for Tokyo, Lawrence Okolie. He's very

:16:34.:16:38.

inexperienced. But he's done really well here. It was a terrible start,

:16:39.:16:41.

let's get it right, but he didn't cave in. He rocked Savon with one

:16:42.:16:45.

shot. All credit to Lawrence Okolie. He'll come again. He's one for the

:16:46.:16:49.

future. In terms of the present, let's head

:16:50.:16:53.

down to the public address announcer and get the official announcement at

:16:54.:16:57.

the conclusion of this heavyweight contest in the second preliminary

:16:58.:17:04.

round. ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, the

:17:05.:17:16.

winner by unanimous decision, Erislandy Savon.

:17:17.:17:23.

CHEERING So Erislandy Savon, moves into the

:17:24.:17:30.

quarterfinals and a step closer to emulating his legendary uncle, Felix

:17:31.:17:34.

Savon. He elimb nats Lawrence Okolie from Great Britain in the second

:17:35.:17:37.

round of the 91kg heavyweight tournament, a unanimous

:17:38.:17:39.

points-decision winner. He took all three rounds from all three judges,

:17:40.:17:44.

very convincing display in his first outing of Rio 2016 for the

:17:45.:17:48.

tournament number two seed. Lawrence Okolie eliminated but should hold

:17:49.:17:52.

his head up high in the manner in which he's acquitted himself during

:17:53.:17:56.

this, his first ever Olympic tournament.

:17:57.:18:00.

Lawrence, just a step too far for you in the end. Was it what you

:18:01.:18:04.

expected? You know it's going to be tough against the world number two?

:18:05.:18:08.

I knew he would be hard, especially after boxing him before. I thought

:18:09.:18:11.

what I did in preparation would be enough. Unfortunately, I got in

:18:12.:18:15.

there and found out quite quickly that it's a different ball game,

:18:16.:18:18.

just up a level. I believe that I'm at least in the top three or four in

:18:19.:18:22.

the world, but unfortunately I came up against someone that was just

:18:23.:18:26.

that bit better today. It pains me to say it but at the end of the day

:18:27.:18:32.

I was watching him in McDonalds four years ago boxing against Anthony

:18:33.:18:36.

Joshua and I managed to get myself to a place where I'm sharing a room

:18:37.:18:40.

with him. I've still got a chip on my shoulder and I believe I have

:18:41.:18:43.

what it takes to become one of the best in the world and I'm not going

:18:44.:18:47.

to stop until I get to that status. I hope you've been able to enjoy it.

:18:48.:18:51.

What will you take away from the experience? The progress I've made.

:18:52.:18:55.

The same man stopped me in a round about seven weeks ago. So in not

:18:56.:18:59.

even two months, I'm now on a big stage, in the Olympics and I managed

:19:00.:19:05.

to extend it. Through the first round, I heard the first bell and

:19:06.:19:10.

second, third. I wanted to win. I tried to push it in the last round,

:19:11.:19:14.

even though I was hurt, but unfortunately it didn't work. I've

:19:15.:19:17.

got a fantastic team around me and I'll go back to the drawing board

:19:18.:19:20.

and keep pushing. I want to give a massive shout-out to my mum, my dad,

:19:21.:19:24.

my friends who have come here and everyone that's been supporting me.

:19:25.:19:27.

Unfortunately, I didn't do it today but I'm not going to stop until

:19:28.:19:30.

obviously I get to that next level, believe me. Lawrence, all the best.

:19:31.:19:33.

Hopefully see you in 2020. Catch you. Thanks.

:19:34.:19:37.

Really disappointing night for Lawrence Okolie. Interestingly,

:19:38.:19:41.

Lawrence was actually beaten by Savon, stopped in June in the

:19:42.:19:44.

opening round. So it was always going to be tough against that

:19:45.:19:48.

really difficult opponent. So we've got table tennis and weightlifting

:19:49.:19:51.

on the way. Obviously we're concentrating on the swimming pool

:19:52.:19:56.

and what a night last night. Adam Petty and Giles Carolyn both winning

:19:57.:20:01.

gold and silver medals respectively and tonight, James is the Guy.

:20:02.:20:12.

James Guy of England, bronze medallist, what a great swim he had.

:20:13.:20:19.

It's James Guy of Great Britain. Come on, jamss Guy! He's got it! An

:20:20.:20:23.

utterly brilliant swim. World Champion! Well done, Sir! James Guy,

:20:24.:20:29.

asserting himself as the World Champion that he is. Hundreds of --

:20:30.:20:37.

hundredths of second count massively. James guy has made it in

:20:38.:20:42.

by 0.01 seconds. Let's hope for more medals in the pools this evening.

:20:43.:20:47.

Let's tack to Mark Foster, who is part of our swimming team. Mark,

:20:48.:20:51.

good evening to you. I saw on Twitter food that you tweeted

:20:52.:20:54.

one-of-the best nights you've ever seen in the pool last night. It was

:20:55.:20:58.

the best night I've ever seen. I first came on the scene in 1988 and

:20:59.:21:03.

saw Adrian Moorhouse on the first night of the Olympic Games in Seoul

:21:04.:21:07.

and saw him win gold. I've never seen gold and silver in a same

:21:08.:21:15.

night. I don't know, it was so emotional standing next to Petty's

:21:16.:21:17.

parents. They were with us last night. It wasn't expected how much

:21:18.:21:23.

he would crush everybody by and how much he's rewritten by. Jaz was a

:21:24.:21:31.

massive shock and she's up for the 800m we thought and a potential

:21:32.:21:35.

medal but coming away with silver and for her saying she's at the

:21:36.:21:38.

Olympic Games and how much it meant to her and she's Olympic silver

:21:39.:21:43.

medallist. Amazing moment. Especially what she went through in

:21:44.:21:48.

London 2012 in not making the Games. Tonight, James Guy - realistic

:21:49.:21:51.

chances of getting a medal tonight? Yeah. There's an opportunity. We

:21:52.:21:56.

always say if you've got a lane, you've got a chance. The 400m didn't

:21:57.:22:02.

go to plan. He's been 3:43. It's not much off his best but you want to

:22:03.:22:06.

come to the Olympic Games and do you best. It wasn't bad. The heats and

:22:07.:22:10.

semis, he looked a little bit heavy and I wonder whether leading into

:22:11.:22:13.

these championships he's been at altitude and done training and

:22:14.:22:16.

sometimes you do a lot of work and it's like building a skyscraper. You

:22:17.:22:19.

have huge foundations and at the top, you want to be at your peak and

:22:20.:22:23.

sometimes you don't get it right on the right day. He looks a little bit

:22:24.:22:26.

heavy. But another day's rest, all the training is done and he's a

:22:27.:22:29.

phenomenal athlete, let's not forget. A World Champion last year

:22:30.:22:33.

and the year before, winning the Commonwealth Games and the European

:22:34.:22:35.

Championships. He's got it all to do. Sun Yang is favourite and I

:22:36.:22:41.

truly believe, if I have to say it, he will win this evening but

:22:42.:22:45.

potential world champions can step up. There are a lot of big names in

:22:46.:22:49.

the pool this evening, Chad Le Clos and Michael Phelps. How much are you

:22:50.:22:52.

looking forward to that? That's a big one. The final of the 200m fly

:22:53.:22:56.

is tomorrow night and Chad Le Clos goes in the 200m free before the

:22:57.:23:01.

200m fly so he'll be absolutely wiped out. Those three - him,

:23:02.:23:05.

collect Le Clos obviously meet -- Chad Le Clos beat Michael Phelps in

:23:06.:23:10.

the last Olympic Games, which was a huge shock and we had the moment

:23:11.:23:17.

with Burt Le Clos and you have Laszlo Czeh, who has come second to

:23:18.:23:20.

Michael Phelps in the Olympics games. If Michael Phelps wasn't

:23:21.:23:24.

around, Laszlo Czeh would be a big, big name within the Olympic sport.

:23:25.:23:27.

Those three tomorrow evening, it will be touch and go. If I was a

:23:28.:23:33.

betting man, Michael Phelps looked a built heavy this morning. Chad

:23:34.:23:36.

didn't show a lot. He never does. He takes hinges easy. Laszlo was

:23:37.:23:42.

fastest this morning and I'd probably say him but unfortunately

:23:43.:23:45.

that will not go down well with the crowd. They love Michael Phelps.

:23:46.:23:48.

Mark, have a great evening. Thank you very much indeed.

:23:49.:23:51.

Let's look at the key times for you. 2:21. Set your alarms or simply stay

:23:52.:23:56.

up with us for James Guy. He sneaked into the final of the 200m

:23:57.:24:01.

freestyle. Four gold medals to be won at 2:30 to see off Australia's

:24:02.:24:06.

reigning World Champion -- see if Emily Seebohm from Australia can win

:24:07.:24:10.

gold and then Emily's boyfriend Mitch Larkin is looking to make it a

:24:11.:24:14.

special night for them in the men's event and then we shall see Chad Le

:24:15.:24:18.

Clos, as discussed with Mark, and Michael Phelps in action in the

:24:19.:24:23.

men's 200m butterfly semifinals at around 3:10. That's a swimming

:24:24.:24:27.

schedule this evening. Also let's get up to date with what's happening

:24:28.:24:31.

in the tennis. This has been fascinating over the past few days.

:24:32.:24:37.

If you were with us, you'd have seen the Murray brothers crash out, Novak

:24:38.:24:42.

Djokovic out, the Williams sisters out. Venus went in the women's

:24:43.:24:52.

singles. This is Serena taking on Alize

:24:53.:24:59.

Cornet. She's just taken the first set there but she's being pushed.

:25:00.:25:03.

We've got a bit of weightlifting for you today because the men's 62kg

:25:04.:25:07.

weightlifting competition is drawing to a close. Let's get up to date

:25:08.:25:18.

with what you need to know. Men's weightlifting appeared at the first

:25:19.:25:22.

modern Olympics and has featured at every Games since 1920. While the

:25:23.:25:28.

women's competition only made its debut in Sydney in 2000. The aim of

:25:29.:25:32.

weightlifting is simple - to lift the greatest weight possible. There

:25:33.:25:36.

are two types of lift, the snatch and the clean-and-jerk. Competitors

:25:37.:25:40.

have to compete both lifts and the winner is the person whose combined

:25:41.:25:43.

weight total is the greatest. The snatch is a lift where the bar bell

:25:44.:25:48.

is raised above the head to locked arms in one continuous movement. The

:25:49.:25:52.

athlete starts in the squat position and must flip the weight so it moves

:25:53.:25:58.

in an arc to a position above their head. When sure secure in this

:25:59.:26:02.

position, they rise and complete the left. The clean and jerk is

:26:03.:26:07.

performed in two stages. The bar bell is gripped, palms downwards and

:26:08.:26:11.

moved to the shoulders. The jerk is where the athletes bends and then

:26:12.:26:14.

extends the legs and arms to bring the bar bell to full stretch. They

:26:15.:26:19.

must then stand still with the feet in line with the bar until they're

:26:20.:26:22.

given the signal by three judges that the lift is God. Each

:26:23.:26:25.

weightlifter has three attempts in both the snatch and the

:26:26.:26:29.

clean-and-clerk with the combined total of the twoest -- two highest

:26:30.:26:34.

successful lifts completing the result. If after three attempts,

:26:35.:26:39.

they fail to register a correct lift, they're eliminated. Olympic

:26:40.:26:44.

weightlifting requires more than great strength, excellent balance

:26:45.:26:48.

and stability. Stability and speed is essential to a weightlifter's

:26:49.:26:53.

quest for glory. It is one of the great weightlifting competitions and

:26:54.:26:59.

what we've seen tonight - Egypt's Ahmed Saad has set a world record

:27:00.:27:04.

but it's that man, Oscar Figueroa who leads after the snatch rounds

:27:05.:27:09.

having lifted 142kg. He won silver in London. This is where we are

:27:10.:27:15.

right now. It's Figueroa who leads. Then we've got Irawan and Kharki.

:27:16.:27:25.

That looked tough. Oh... We don't see it very often but there's the

:27:26.:27:43.

squat jerk. Why don't we see it very often?

:27:44.:27:49.

Because it's extremely tough to do. Split jerk is the most preferred

:27:50.:27:54.

because, if there is any movement, any forward or backward movement,

:27:55.:27:58.

you've got a chance to adjust your body underneath the bar. With a

:27:59.:28:02.

squat jerk, you land it or you don't. He's posted 305kg at the

:28:03.:28:09.

moment. He's in the lead. Throws his shoulders back. Has to work really

:28:10.:28:12.

hard to stand with the clean. Look at that. If you want to try that at

:28:13.:28:17.

home, bake sure your hands are fairly close together, shoulder

:28:18.:28:20.

width apart. If you can go into a squat position with a broom stick

:28:21.:28:25.

overhead, got to keep the feet flat. OK. The Indonesian now. A chance to

:28:26.:28:32.

put himself into first spot. Comfortable. Short and sharp.

:28:33.:28:39.

CHEERING Really good timing on that dip and

:28:40.:28:46.

drive. And remember that Irawan was 142kg in the snatch. So now the lead

:28:47.:29:05.

sis at 312kg in total. Well Oscar Figueroa of Columbia has increased

:29:06.:29:09.

his starting weight to 172kg. That's it. He has to come out on 172kg.

:29:10.:29:15.

He's adjusted it twice. Really fast underneath the bar.

:29:16.:29:22.

Kharki has just adjusted his as well to 173kg.

:29:23.:29:32.

So we now knock back depending on what Irawan is going to do. Irawan

:29:33.:29:34.

is going up as well. CHEERING

:29:35.:29:37.

So we need to see the Colombian come out. So Irawan has gone up.

:29:38.:29:53.

CHEERING Oscar Figueroa comes out to huge

:29:54.:29:58.

applause. This would put him into the lead.

:29:59.:30:19.

Clean is good. Just the hands. Nice. CHEERING

:30:20.:30:46.

Oh, if he wins tonight, they're going to lift the roof. So he's in

:30:47.:30:53.

the lead. The lead now sits at 314kg.

:30:54.:31:00.

This is a tough one to call. Out of the three of the guys on top, Kharki

:31:01.:31:08.

was probably the least impressive. These are tough weights to call

:31:09.:31:14.

right now. Basically, Irawan needs one kilogram more than anything

:31:15.:31:18.

Figueroa Mosouera does. But I think they've all got a little bit more so

:31:19.:31:23.

they're probably going to play second attempt as they planned.

:31:24.:31:29.

That will force Irawan to 175kg I would have thought.

:31:30.:31:52.

Nah. He's got a lot to make up for. He

:31:53.:31:59.

was 1 # 30 kg in the snatch. So he was a long way behind. But the bar

:32:00.:32:08.

for him is set at 173kg. This will be a new personal best. Yeah, by a

:32:09.:32:14.

couple of kilos. And a new personal best in the...

:32:15.:32:27.

Overall total as well. This would put him into fourth. Hit

:32:28.:32:31.

him hard. Does he have the legs to push? Come on! Come on! Get it up

:32:32.:32:36.

there! Now does he have anything left? Shaking under the bar. That's

:32:37.:32:39.

an adjustment. That's OK. Put it down. Put it down. He's gone.

:32:40.:32:42.

APPLAUSE Unlucky. What you don't want to see

:32:43.:32:50.

is him collapsing underneath the weight if he loses consciousness. He

:32:51.:32:53.

put that down in time. He's safe. He's OK. Really tremendous effort on

:32:54.:33:02.

the clean. So just three of them left now. We have Mosquera of

:33:03.:33:09.

Columbia, Kharki of Kazakhstan and Irawan of Indonesia. I think that's

:33:10.:33:16.

a halting squat. You can see his body quivering underneath.

:33:17.:33:24.

It's a big weight for these guys. So Irawan is going to go to 175kg.

:33:25.:33:30.

Mosquera, of course, can go at the same weight because he's the lighter

:33:31.:33:38.

of the two. But Kharki has lifted himself to 177kg. He has a bit of

:33:39.:33:46.

work to do, though, because he was seven kilograms behind after the

:33:47.:33:52.

snatch. So unless he pulls out something absolutely miraculous, you

:33:53.:33:55.

would think that the battle is between the other two. Figueroa has

:33:56.:34:03.

played this board very well. He increased it to 174kg, then up to

:34:04.:34:09.

175kg, which meant that Irawan has got to come out one kilogram

:34:10.:34:12.

heavier. They've all used up their automatic changes. Irawan has gone

:34:13.:34:19.

to 176kg. And Mosquera has gone up to 176kg. Well, he's going to force

:34:20.:34:23.

Irawan out. He has to come out at 176kg. He doesn't have the option to

:34:24.:34:40.

change again. So here he is. Remember this is just his second

:34:41.:34:47.

attempt so he has another lift if needed. This represents a personal

:34:48.:34:52.

best of one kilogram. This would put him in the lead. That

:34:53.:35:16.

looked a struggle. No. Oh, he's under pressure now. If

:35:17.:35:22.

you hear any cheers, that's from the Colombians. That gives their man a

:35:23.:35:26.

bit of breathing space. And remember he is the heavier of the two

:35:27.:35:32.

lifters. Well, I think we'll see Figueroa Mosquera coming out on the

:35:33.:35:37.

same weight, which will force Irawan even heavier on his third and final

:35:38.:35:41.

attempt. I'm not sure Irawan has the legs to stand it any more. So this

:35:42.:35:47.

could be the lift for the gold medal. Certainly will confirm his

:35:48.:36:03.

lead. So the bronze is safe with Kharki of Kazakhstan. The argument

:36:04.:36:07.

is over silver and gold between these two men and they've both...

:36:08.:36:14.

Well, he has two lifts left and of course one more lift for Irawan.

:36:15.:36:22.

Waiting for quiet. So this to put himself in first place.

:36:23.:36:36.

It's there. CHEERING

:36:37.:36:42.

He extends his lead and he's laid the gauntlet down. Catch me if you

:36:43.:36:47.

can! Still one attempt remaining. Still needs to stay focused just in

:36:48.:36:54.

case one of these guys can attempt to upset the party. He looks

:36:55.:37:00.

exhausted, absolutely drained, and I understand that feeling, when you've

:37:01.:37:04.

dropped body weight, when you've focused for the last two hours. This

:37:05.:37:12.

is a big ask. He's got to keep it together now for one more attempt.

:37:13.:37:21.

Remember that Kharki was seven kilograms behind after the snatch.

:37:22.:37:26.

And Irawan and Mosquera were equal in the snatch at 142kg, but Mosquera

:37:27.:37:34.

is the lighter man. So Kharki now lifting at 177kg. If he nails this.

:37:35.:37:40.

It puts him into the silver medal position. No. He's another lift left

:37:41.:38:06.

now. It shows how much tension you have through the bar. Not much

:38:07.:38:15.

damaged apart from his pride. Wondering if he's tweaked a lat. If

:38:16.:38:21.

it's a lat, it would be engaged in that position, lost his grip by the

:38:22.:38:26.

looks of it. No, he didn't. I think that's what you call stacking it.

:38:27.:38:33.

Yeah. And he's going to get a bit of work on that lat by the looks of

:38:34.:38:43.

things. Well, it might almost be an anticlimax to the competition here.

:38:44.:38:47.

I think we've already seen the lift that's won the gold. In the

:38:48.:38:53.

background, Irawan has gone up to 178kg, so he's laying down the

:38:54.:38:56.

gauntlet to the Colombian. What will he do? I'm sure he'll go to the

:38:57.:39:01.

same. At the moment, they're scribbling something which we can't

:39:02.:39:04.

read from here. What does that look like? 179kg. Irawan has gone to

:39:05.:39:12.

179kg. He doesn't need 179kg. He needs 177kg. OK, so I get it - yeah,

:39:13.:39:20.

he's forcing Kharki back out. Irawan, I'm pretty sure, is

:39:21.:39:24.

satisfied twt silver but by him being called and now passing it

:39:25.:39:28.

straight back to Kharki, it forces Kharki out with no recovery. That's

:39:29.:39:34.

a nasty move, but it may well be necessary. This puts him in with a

:39:35.:39:54.

chance at silver. Again, didn't look confident at all.

:39:55.:40:01.

So he'll take the bronze medal. CHEERING

:40:02.:40:08.

I just don't think he ever had the bar high enough to get underneath

:40:09.:40:17.

it. Total of 305kg. Well, he still finishes with a bronze medal, still

:40:18.:40:29.

on the podium. And now... He was... It was high enough, only just,

:40:30.:40:39.

almost afraid of sitting right in. Right now, Irawan is going to come

:40:40.:40:44.

out and attempt 179kg. If he lifts that, he would force Mosquera to

:40:45.:40:49.

come out and also lift 179kg. If he misses. The party begins. If he

:40:50.:40:54.

misses, Mosquera is a gold medallist.

:40:55.:41:01.

This to put himself in first or Mosquera does not need his final

:41:02.:41:05.

lift. This is an Olympic record.

:41:06.:41:14.

Olympic record attempt. And he's cleaned it. Can he stand? Yes, he

:41:15.:41:20.

can. This will throw the gauntlet down. Oh.

:41:21.:41:24.

CHEERING Well... We know one thing for sure

:41:25.:41:30.

and that's that Figueroa Mosquera is the Olympic Champion. The question

:41:31.:41:33.

is are we going to see him again? There is something at stake - an

:41:34.:41:37.

Olympic record. So... Irawan will have to settle for

:41:38.:41:43.

silver. He's coming out. But the Colombian is going to come out and

:41:44.:41:47.

have a crack at the Olympic record. He's already secured the gold. This

:41:48.:41:51.

is about pride and a place in the history books. Well, an Olympic

:41:52.:41:55.

record, this would be, if successful. This is the one man we

:41:56.:42:08.

believe who has the capability. Of course, the issue is it's his

:42:09.:42:13.

Olympic record as well. He set this record back in 2012.

:42:14.:42:21.

He's the Olympic record-holder and he's trying to break it right now

:42:22.:42:26.

having already secured the gold medal. This is Figueroa Mosquera of

:42:27.:42:38.

Columbia. What an exclamation point this could

:42:39.:42:50.

be on his night. Strong clean. Come on! No. Unlucky.

:42:51.:42:59.

But he's still the gold medallist and this massive crowd, a lot of

:43:00.:43:05.

Colombians are going nuts for him and look at those tears of joy.

:43:06.:43:11.

CHEERING The gold medallist in the 62kg

:43:12.:43:19.

division CHEERING I think we're about to see a

:43:20.:43:44.

weightlifter retire. Do you think? This happens - forgive me, I've

:43:45.:43:50.

forgotten the name of the Greek lifter - he's leaving his shoes

:43:51.:43:52.

there. He's retired. CHEERING

:43:53.:44:02.

What a wonderful moment. At the age of 33... What a way to go out.

:44:03.:44:25.

CHEERING Oscar Albero Figueroa Mosquera,

:44:26.:44:27.

Mosquera hugging his coach and support staff. Well, if you're not

:44:28.:44:34.

choked back home, there's something wrong with you. What a way to end

:44:35.:44:54.

your career. Interesting to see what would have happened if he'd really

:44:55.:44:57.

needed it for the gold, a difference in focus. Who knows? Maybe he would

:44:58.:45:02.

have nailed it. In the end, he was just trying to raise his own Olympic

:45:03.:45:08.

record by two kilograms. Retires in tears of joy.

:45:09.:45:17.

Floods of tears. What a great story, Colombian Oscar Figueroa Mosquera

:45:18.:45:21.

lifting a combined weight of 318kg to take gold. He won silver medal at

:45:22.:45:29.

London 2012, Eko Yuli Irawan, of Indonesia, bronze medallist at 2012,

:45:30.:45:33.

getting the silver medal. One of the big stories from that event was that

:45:34.:45:38.

the Chinese World Champion was a solid bet for gold but there was a

:45:39.:45:42.

whopping DNF next to him. He did not finish. Well, if you fancy being the

:45:43.:45:50.

next Oscar Figueroa, then head to the BBC Sport "get inspired"

:45:51.:45:53.

website, punch in your postcode, find out which club you want to go

:45:54.:45:58.

to and you could be a gold medallist for Team GB in many years to come.

:45:59.:46:02.

Let's bring you up to date with what's happening in the women's

:46:03.:46:07.

singles. We've got Serena Williams on Centre Court. She's won the first

:46:08.:46:12.

set. Cornet is serving to stay in the match at 5-2.

:46:13.:46:18.

First task at hand here is to hold serve at 2-5. She's hoping to stay

:46:19.:46:21.

in the second round. She's tugging at her arm there, her

:46:22.:47:00.

shoulder. She was all over the place. Great

:47:01.:48:04.

control from Williams in that point. She's really using all of the court.

:48:05.:48:37.

The backhand was wide and with it, too much points -- two match points.

:48:38.:49:36.

Oh, a double fault. Just pressing too hard.

:49:37.:50:11.

Tried to get a better second serve in.

:50:12.:50:32.

Third match point and she converts on number three, Williams. Speaking

:50:33.:50:38.

of the number three, Cornet had won three in a row, but can't make it

:50:39.:50:45.

four. It was tough. Williams going through 7-6, 6-2.

:50:46.:50:55.

So disappointment in the doubles for Serena and Venus, but Serena powers

:50:56.:50:59.

into the women's singles third round. So we've got a little bit of

:51:00.:51:07.

table tennis coming up at 1:30, with Paul Drinkhall taking on a Belarus

:51:08.:51:10.

international player, a fantastic player by the way. And then we go

:51:11.:51:14.

into the pool for James Guy's final at around 2:21. One of the great

:51:15.:51:19.

things about the Olympics of course - we've brought you a little bit of

:51:20.:51:22.

weightlifting, dramatic scenes there - but also some other sports you

:51:23.:51:26.

don't necessarily see at this time in the Olympics. So let's have a

:51:27.:51:31.

little built of waterpolo tonight. -- little bit of waterpolo tonight.

:51:32.:51:37.

Waterpolo has been an Olympic sport since 1900 in Paris. There are seven

:51:38.:51:42.

players in a team, six so-called outfield players and a goalkeeper.

:51:43.:51:47.

But they're allowed six reserves and unlimited substitutions. Substitutes

:51:48.:51:50.

are crucial, because of the gruelling nature of the sport. The

:51:51.:51:54.

players are not allowed to touch the bottom of the pool at any point

:51:55.:51:58.

during a match. The best way to stay upright and ready is to keep the

:51:59.:52:02.

legs moving alternately backwards and forwards in what's known as the

:52:03.:52:06.

egg beater motion. There are two important lines in waterpolo - the

:52:07.:52:10.

two metres line and the five metres line. The two metres line is two

:52:11.:52:14.

metres from the goal and the attacking team are not allowed to

:52:15.:52:16.

pass this line unless they have possession of the ball or the ball

:52:17.:52:21.

is already in that area. If an attacking player is fouled within

:52:22.:52:24.

five metres of the goal, the referee can award a penalty shot from the

:52:25.:52:29.

five metres line. If a foul is committed further out than five

:52:30.:52:33.

metres, a free throw is awarded. Goalkeepers are allowed to use two

:52:34.:52:37.

hands at once but outfield players with only use one hand at a time.

:52:38.:52:42.

The game is split into four quarters of eight minutes but although the

:52:43.:52:46.

total playing time is 32 minutes, a game usually lasts for over an hour

:52:47.:52:49.

because it's stopped and started regularly. Each quarter begins with

:52:50.:52:52.

the two teams lined up on their goal lines and when the referee blows the

:52:53.:52:56.

whistle, the teams sprint towards the ball in the centre of the pool.

:52:57.:53:02.

A shot clock controls the time for shooting in waterpolo because, when

:53:03.:53:06.

in possession, teams only have 30 seconds to shoot at goal.

:53:07.:53:14.

Serbia are red hot favourites but Croatia are Olympic champions and

:53:15.:53:17.

they're taking on Montenegro tonight.

:53:18.:53:37.

So four quarters of eight minutes long. We'll have the swim-off to

:53:38.:53:43.

determine who is going to get first control of the ball.

:53:44.:54:07.

Here we go, then. The group stages of the men's waterpolo.

:54:08.:54:41.

The first goal of the game inside the opening seconds. What a start

:54:42.:54:54.

for Croatia. Great elevation out of us water and

:54:55.:54:56.

off the underside of the bar. 7-5 Croatia won their opening game

:54:57.:55:24.

against the USA. Montenegro looking for an immediate

:55:25.:55:28.

response. The goal-scorer brings the ball away. The whistle has now gone.

:55:29.:55:36.

Montenegro's Number 10 is going to sit out 20 seconds for a foul as he

:55:37.:55:42.

tried to swim back towards his own goal and ceesh Croatia, who are

:55:43.:55:46.

usually so -- Croatia, who are usually so good with the extra man,

:55:47.:55:50.

with a chance already to double their advantage.

:55:51.:56:17.

Radovic. Oh, hit the post. The goalkeeper

:56:18.:56:29.

didn't get a hand to it. It will be Croatia's ball. Long-range shot from

:56:30.:56:52.

Radovic. Two sides that like to play with a nice attacking style, seven

:56:53.:56:57.

seconds to go on the clock but it's bounced wide of the target.

:56:58.:57:11.

Garcia Gadea with the shot. Playing in his f fourth Olympic

:57:12.:57:28.

Games, the 32-year-old. That's a foul on the edge of the two

:57:29.:57:39.

metres loin. So Montenegro have a chance to level things up with the

:57:40.:57:45.

extra player. Oh, they've spilled the ball. That's

:57:46.:57:49.

clumsy. Frustration already for their coach. Croatia back up to a

:57:50.:57:58.

full complement of seven. Djokovic with the steal. Croatia with a great

:57:59.:58:24.

chance of a second goal! Oh, that's a fine save from Milos Scepanovic.

:58:25.:58:31.

The goal-scorer was looking for his second of the match.

:58:32.:58:51.

The ball turned over again by the Croatians back to Montenegro. It was

:58:52.:59:05.

Jokavic with the turnover foul. Croatia leading by one early goal.

:59:06.:59:16.

Montenegro are nicknamed the Red Sharks.

:59:17.:59:32.

We're halfway through the first quarter.

:59:33.:59:50.

It's about a 10-minute drive to the athletes' village to the venue for

:59:51.:00:11.

the waterpolo. Here come Montenegro again looking

:00:12.:00:17.

for that equaliser. Inside the 10 seconds on the shot clock.

:00:18.:00:42.

Croatia back on the attack again. Came past Italy, Spain, Australia,

:00:43.:00:55.

Greece and Kazakhstan in the group stages in London. Beat the USA in

:00:56.:01:00.

the quarterfinals, Montenegro in the semis, as we said, and then Italy in

:01:01.:01:13.

the final. Time out called here by the coach.

:01:14.:01:19.

Clearly not happy with the way his side have started this particular

:01:20.:01:27.

match. So a couple of minutes to - or a minute or so just to get some

:01:28.:01:41.

instructions across. You can see the diving pool down at

:01:42.:01:48.

the end refurbed for these Olympics after it was built for the 2007 pan

:01:49.:01:51.

American games. Really good facilities here. There's a couple of

:01:52.:01:54.

warm-up pools for the players and for the diving in particular there's

:01:55.:01:59.

a warm-up area where they strap them into harnesses so they can practise

:02:00.:02:03.

their dives outside the pool. It's very high-tech.

:02:04.:02:08.

The last group games in the finals will be at the main Aquatic Centre,

:02:09.:02:13.

which has seen some wonderful performances already.

:02:14.:02:21.

Montenegro trailing Croatia here by a goal to nil.

:02:22.:02:46.

Cyberia's number seven is swimming out, Marco -- Marko Macan. So

:02:47.:02:50.

Montenegro with another chance. rises out of the water to fire in

:02:51.:04:23.

the low shot for Luka Bukic and Milos Scepanovic.

:04:24.:04:32.

Croatia have played Montenegro twice at the Olympics, won one and lost

:04:33.:04:39.

one. This one back to all square. We thought it might be a tight game

:04:40.:04:46.

between these two. Sood save by Pavic. -- good save by Pavic.

:04:47.:05:00.

As I said, they've not had the best of times since Radko Ridic left

:05:01.:05:10.

them. Lost in the quarterfinals to Hungary at this year's European

:05:11.:05:13.

Championships. Oh, bounces just over the top. That was a well struck shot

:05:14.:05:20.

with the ball going flying in all directions off the surface of the

:05:21.:05:21.

water. Montenegro back on the attack once

:05:22.:05:45.

again. Fine stop there from Pavic. Really good stop by the keeper. 196

:05:46.:05:52.

international games to his credit. The Olympiakos goalkeeper. Named the

:05:53.:05:59.

best goalkeeper in the 2015 World League. So he's no slouch between

:06:00.:06:07.

the posts. Final few seconds of the first quarter.

:06:08.:06:24.

Brguljan, out of the water quick again. He took a deflection finds

:06:25.:06:34.

its way into the top corner and Darko Brguljan has his second goal

:06:35.:06:41.

of the game. It's actually flicked in off Anne Geddes.

:06:42.:06:52.

Took it from Josip Pavic's arms there and we're back to 2-2. Time

:06:53.:07:03.

out here called by Croatia. The first call of the game.

:07:04.:07:48.

Mario Sepulveda waits with six seconds left on the clock here for

:07:49.:07:52.

Croatia trying to find themselves a slender lead to take into the second

:07:53.:07:57.

quarter. Good save by the keeper. And there goes the hooter for the

:07:58.:08:00.

end of the first quarter. We'll be back for the second quarter

:08:01.:08:12.

later. A reminder that 2:00 in the morning, we will be crossing to yet

:08:13.:08:15.

more pool action because we're going to the swimming pool and more

:08:16.:08:20.

finals. All eyes on James Guy. Can he win another medal for Team GB?

:08:21.:08:26.

That's at around 2:21 in the men's 200 m freestyle. Let's bring you up

:08:27.:08:29.

to date with what's happening around the Olympic Games and what you can

:08:30.:08:33.

watch right now. You can watch some beach volleyball if you like on BBC

:08:34.:08:36.

Four. That is live. Canada against Italy. Italy won the opening match

:08:37.:08:40.

2-0 against Austria on the opening day of the Games. If you want a

:08:41.:08:45.

little bit of red button action tonight, how about some table

:08:46.:08:49.

tennis. We will be keeping an eye on Paul Drinkhall into the last 16 of

:08:50.:08:53.

the men's table tennis. First Briton to reach that stage since 1992.

:08:54.:08:58.

Follows this match. So we'll keep you up to date that that. And also

:08:59.:09:02.

in the women's hockey, the Netherlands are the team to beat as

:09:03.:09:07.

the reigning Olympic champions but keep a look out for Argentina

:09:08.:09:10.

because they could win the gold medal. They're taking on Japan.

:09:11.:09:13.

That's also available on the red button. They are 2-0 up against

:09:14.:09:17.

Japan. To help you make even more of the

:09:18.:09:27.

Rio 2016 Olympic Games from boxing to badminton, hockey to handball,

:10:04.:10:11.

appear, judging by my timeline on social media that you're loving the

:10:12.:10:15.

water pole oi which is great for us. It's Croatia against Montenegro and

:10:16.:10:22.

rejoin our commentator Mark Tompkins now.

:10:23.:10:33.

I think that he is going to be beaten to it again by Croatia.

:10:34.:10:44.

Indeed he is. Luka Bukic winning the swim-off.

:10:45.:11:12.

Turn over ball there with the goalkeeper, Mario Sepulveda. --

:11:13.:11:22.

Milos Scepanovic. We've only seen a couple of exclusions for 20 seconds

:11:23.:11:27.

so far but I'm sure that that will increase as the game wears on.

:11:28.:11:32.

Inside the final ten seconds on the clock. If the shot doesn't come in

:11:33.:11:40.

here for ten seconds, it goes over to the other side. It has been won

:11:41.:11:44.

by Serbia, though. Paskovic it was with the turnover.

:11:45.:12:04.

Croatia trying to find themselves with some space there. Can't go

:12:05.:12:09.

inside the 2-metre box unless you've got the ball. Drasko Brguljan

:12:10.:12:20.

complaining that he was fouled by Filip Klikovac.

:12:21.:12:50.

Turnover foul gives Montenegro the ball back once again. Good defensive

:12:51.:12:56.

side, Croatia. To get the shot in quickly, which

:12:57.:13:13.

they've done. Pushed away by Josip Pavic. Maro Jokovicwith the shot.

:13:14.:13:43.

A bit of holding going on. Two very physical sides. Such a lot goes on

:13:44.:13:49.

under the surface of the water that goes unseen by the officials. Do

:13:50.:13:54.

their best from the lofty position to keep an eye on what they can.

:13:55.:14:21.

No addition to the scoring so far in the second quarter. Still 2-2.

:14:22.:14:47.

Brguljan with the steal for Croatia. Here they come back on the attack

:14:48.:14:51.

once again. God save. The clock was ticking down

:14:52.:15:13.

to get it but it's a fine stop from Milos Scepanovic. Tipping the ball

:15:14.:15:30.

away one hand in. Montenegro are going to be a go there with a player

:15:31.:15:38.

like Yanovic. Picked off again and Croatia have not made the man

:15:39.:15:44.

advantage count. Back now with Scepanovic.

:15:45.:15:55.

Drasko Brguljan. Four steals each so far in the first-half. Oh, great

:15:56.:16:12.

goal. Low shot. Virtually never left the surface of the water there from

:16:13.:16:19.

Antonio Petrovic. Having trailed in the first quarter, Montenegro lead

:16:20.:16:23.

for the first time by 3-2 goals. Really low shot across the surface

:16:24.:16:30.

of the water. Pavic disappointed not to have kept it out. But it was a

:16:31.:16:39.

quality stroke though from Antonio Petrovic. A couple of changes by

:16:40.:16:58.

Croatia. You can have the rolling substitutes during the course of the

:16:59.:16:59.

match here. Just over three minutes left in the

:17:00.:17:17.

first-half. Another exclusion for Montenegro. Antonio Petrovic who

:17:18.:17:23.

just scored that goal as the map out for 20 seconds now so a chance for

:17:24.:17:27.

Croatia to get back into this one and level. O, they've not taken the

:17:28.:17:35.

opportunity, again. Shot going wide from Luka Loncar.

:17:36.:17:55.

Oh, good save. That looked in all the way. Somehow clawed that away

:17:56.:18:12.

off the line, Scepanovic. Vjekoslav Paskovic with the shot. Kept out by

:18:13.:18:23.

the Croatia goalkeeper. Well spotted turnover again and Montenegro

:18:24.:18:28.

winning the ball back off the Croatians with ease at the moment.

:18:29.:18:36.

The coach is not over pleased on the sidelines but Montenegro just coming

:18:37.:18:38.

into the game a little more now. Holding against... (WHISTLE) holding

:18:39.:18:50.

against the Croatian number 8. Troy Andro Buslje. Tremendous taking over

:18:51.:19:19.

from Radovic, a man who has amassed 36 medals in championships and

:19:20.:19:23.

another coming in. Montenegro with a time-out here. I'm sure that

:19:24.:19:31.

Vladamir Goykovic is a much happier man after seeing the side come back

:19:32.:19:43.

from there and take the lead. Andro Buslje is the man sitting out 20

:19:44.:19:48.

seconds and a chance for Montenegro now that they've had a chance to

:19:49.:19:53.

increase their advantage before the halfway point.

:19:54.:20:09.

Drasko Brguljan. Trying to pick his mum.

:20:10.:20:16.

Inside 10 seconds. Good save again. Straight at the

:20:17.:20:26.

goalkeeper. Pavic makes a save. Both goalkeepers have been in good form

:20:27.:20:41.

so far in this game. Montenegro just missed out on medals in 2008 as well

:20:42.:20:46.

as 2012. They finished fourth there as well in Beijing. They'll be a

:20:47.:20:58.

player down again as Zdravko Radic is penalised and a time-out called

:20:59.:21:02.

here by the Croatian coach. Just over a minute to go in the second

:21:03.:21:11.

quarter. Sandro Sukno getting Croatia off to a great start with

:21:12.:21:17.

the opening game. Darko Brguljan levelled. And then Antonio Petrovic

:21:18.:21:22.

gave Montenegro their slender lead. So can Croatia make their extra

:21:23.:21:56.

player count? Something they haven't managed to do so far in the

:21:57.:21:58.

first-half. Yes, they can, is the answer.

:21:59.:22:16.

Finally, a little bit of cheer in front of goal for the Croatians. A

:22:17.:22:29.

shot beyond Scepanovic. Coming back to a tied game at 3-3.

:22:30.:22:41.

One of the plus 30s in the Croatian line-up, Drasko Brguljan, 35 years

:22:42.:22:50.

of age. He's one of the oldest players in the team, just a little

:22:51.:22:53.

older than Josip Pavic, the goalkeeper. He would say that it is

:22:54.:23:00.

experience, though. And rightly so. 143 international matches. Three

:23:01.:23:02.

Olympic Games. This is his fourth. Final few seconds of the first-half.

:23:03.:23:19.

No foul that time as Monday month went in search of a goal that would

:23:20.:23:22.

give them the lead back again and just a few seconds to go here for

:23:23.:23:25.

Croatia. And they grabbed the lead right on the stroke of the half time

:23:26.:23:32.

interval. Sandro Sukno gets the second of the game. And it was all

:23:33.:23:37.

down to the vision of Josip Pavic, the long ball, to pick out Sandro

:23:38.:23:38.

Sukno. Beyond Scepanovic. And it is

:23:39.:23:54.

Croatia's turn to turn things around too, to lead by 4-3 goals. Last shot

:23:55.:23:59.

of the half comes in, blocked by the goalkeeper. While entertaining it

:24:00.:24:06.

has been between these two powerhouses of waterpolo at the

:24:07.:24:10.

halfway point in the aquat yuck centre. -- Aquatic Centre.

:24:11.:24:16.

What a great match this is. If you want to continue watching this live,

:24:17.:24:19.

it's available online but if you're watching us on cable or digital

:24:20.:24:22.

satellite, it is available on your red button.

:24:23.:24:25.

So we've got a little bit of table tennis coming up for you and we'll

:24:26.:24:29.

also show you what happened in the women's gold medal rugby 7 it's

:24:30.:24:30.

match after tonight's headlines. Britain's Tom Daley and Daniel

:24:31.:24:43.

Goodfellow won Olympic bronze in the sin cronised platform. Well done to

:24:44.:24:58.

them. And our boy, Ling won in the trap.

:24:59.:25:05.

And Great Britain's men came fourth in the owl around after Lewis Smith

:25:06.:25:15.

came off the horse mpth defeats to New Zealand and Canada ruined Great

:25:16.:25:20.

Britain's chances of a medal in the women's rugby 7 it's.

:25:21.:25:29.

And a wonderful celebration for Brazil winning the first gold of the

:25:30.:25:36.

games with Silva in the Judo. And just take a look at these scenes.

:25:37.:25:44.

Amaying stuff. So this is how we're lining up this evening. Plenty more

:25:45.:25:49.

action to come. Drink in the last 16 of the men's table tennis. The first

:25:50.:25:53.

Briton since 1992. His match starts at 1:30. In the pool, World Champion

:25:54.:25:59.

James Guy's final at 2-21. Michael Phelps won the 19th gold medal on

:26:00.:26:07.

day two. He meets Chad Le Clos about 40 minutes later. Just two of the

:26:08.:26:09.

superstars of these Games. Michael Phelps, the greatest

:26:10.:26:24.

Olympian in history. Fantastic, a new world record. Sun Yang, so good.

:26:25.:26:32.

Oh my goodness me, Chad Le Clos won the gold. The new Olympic champion

:26:33.:26:41.

is Missy Franklin of the USA. Manaudou has won it. This gold is

:26:42.:26:48.

world record for Hossou. Cate Campbell gets the gold. Bronte with

:26:49.:26:54.

there. The silver to Jazz Carlin, wonderful silver medal for great

:26:55.:27:00.

principle. Lochete wins the silver medal. Great swimming from Emily

:27:01.:27:06.

Seebohm of Australia. The gold medal goes to James Guy of Great Britain.

:27:07.:27:12.

Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for Great Britain.

:27:13.:27:18.

Wonderful scenes there from the pool and Adam Peaty will be in the pool

:27:19.:27:25.

with Helen Skelton shortly. But disappointment for Great Britain's

:27:26.:27:28.

women in the Rugby 7s. They played so well in the competition but

:27:29.:27:31.

missed out on the bronze medal which meant it was a clash between the old

:27:32.:27:36.

rivals in the gold medal match - Australia against New Zealand.

:27:37.:27:47.

Emilee Cherry. Big there. Manuel, they've worked the overlap, the long

:27:48.:27:59.

pass out to McAllister who scores the first try of the gold medal

:28:00.:28:07.

final. New Zealand take the lead. The ball comes out and Brazier.

:28:08.:28:12.

Takes the penalty. She'll be disappointed. She is the flier in

:28:13.:28:20.

the Australian side. Emilee Cherry, just to open up both sides.

:28:21.:28:27.

Tonegato. No mistake this time, or is there doubt? Yeah, great finish -

:28:28.:28:35.

what a tackle. Gets it to Quirke. Quirke delays and

:28:36.:28:53.

delivers. Alicia Quirke - is that a deliberate knock-on? If it is, it

:28:54.:28:57.

could be yellow. It is. It's going to be a yellow card and it's Portia

:28:58.:29:08.

Woodman. Kwuirke fires on and it is a great chance for Australia to

:29:09.:29:15.

score their second try and they do. And it's Pelitz who scores.

:29:16.:29:23.

Dalton to Quirke. Emilee Cherry. Kazlik - if she gets away, nobody

:29:24.:29:33.

will champ her and Cherry gets away and nobody will catch her. Nor

:29:34.:29:36.

Green. Australia extend the lead in the gold medal final. What an

:29:37.:29:45.

outstanding try. Looking down here. And Portia Woodman stamping her feet

:29:46.:29:49.

as one very angry young man here. She knows she's cost her side dear

:29:50.:29:53.

by giving the yellow card but what a wonderful try. And again it was

:29:54.:30:00.

Kazlik who set the scene here. Kazlik. Kazlik, she could go on her

:30:01.:30:05.

own and she does. It wouldn't have been a final without a contribution

:30:06.:30:11.

from the tournament's outstanding player, Charlotte Caslick. I agree,

:30:12.:30:16.

Eddie. I think that this woman is the number one player in this

:30:17.:30:21.

tournament. She is the difference between these two teams. Mab

:30:22.:30:31.

Alister. Nobody can stop her at the moment, as she goes over for New

:30:32.:30:36.

Zealand's second try. It may come too late but McAllister

:30:37.:30:41.

has made her mark on this final. This has been a wonderful first-ever

:30:42.:30:45.

Olympic Rugby 7s final. Portia Woodman, one of the great

:30:46.:30:57.

finishers, will have a say in the final. 24-15 for the moment.

:30:58.:31:02.

Australia lead. New Zealand's third try. New Zealand score the last try.

:31:03.:31:09.

Head down. Knows that it's a losing course for New Zealand. They have

:31:10.:31:17.

lost to Australia in the final by 24-17.

:31:18.:31:21.

So many congratulations to Australia and the men get under way tomorrow

:31:22.:31:26.

in the first match of the men's competition taking on France. Team

:31:27.:31:29.

GB take on Canada just a few moments later and then it will be all eyes

:31:30.:31:33.

on New Zealand. Of course, Sonny Bill Williams, who was a Rugby World

:31:34.:31:39.

Cup winner in 2015 in the 15-man game. So all eyes on Sonny Bill

:31:40.:31:43.

Williams. So the next destination is the pool because we've got another

:31:44.:31:49.

busy night of swimming action. We're heading to the Olympic Aquatic

:31:50.:31:54.

Stadium, a gorgeous stadium designed by a Rio artist. Let's join Helen.

:31:55.:31:59.

Have you recovered from last night? We have just about peeled ourselves

:32:00.:32:02.

off from the ceiling but we're going to hang on to Becky because we've

:32:03.:32:07.

seen Michael Phelps's baby boy, Boomer, here to support his dad. He

:32:08.:32:12.

begins his quest to get that title from Chad Le Clos so that was there.

:32:13.:32:18.

So cute! Oh! And there's my little one! So cute. Baby Boomer is so cute

:32:19.:32:23.

and baby Boomer might have something to celebrate later. All of the big

:32:24.:32:28.

names in the pool. Katie Ledecky, Chad Le Clos. But let's talk about

:32:29.:32:33.

our guys. James Guy. World Champion in the final he's going for tonight.

:32:34.:32:38.

How would you rate his chances? He scrapes in eighth and he is in an

:32:39.:32:41.

outside line but I don't think that that is bad for James. He sticks to

:32:42.:32:45.

his own race plan and outside, you know, anything can happen. If you

:32:46.:32:48.

have a lane, anything can happen. So I think that he has looked a little

:32:49.:32:52.

bit tired this meet. Not his usual self. He's not done personal best

:32:53.:32:57.

times here. So I'd love to see him get back down to his personal best.

:32:58.:33:00.

Even if he doesn't medal, James would be happy if he comes out

:33:01.:33:05.

having done a strong time. Is he one of the guys, though, that likes to

:33:06.:33:08.

be the underdog? Because at the World Championships last year, he

:33:09.:33:11.

kind of burst on to the scene, took a gold and took a silver as and as

:33:12.:33:15.

we say, a lot of talk about him here and it hasn't come off for him but

:33:16.:33:18.

maybe tonight is the night? I think he's a born racer and we've seen

:33:19.:33:22.

that time and time again with James he's a great racer. And to be

:33:23.:33:27.

honest, I think for him, this amazing opportunity has already had

:33:28.:33:29.

an Olympic final now. It might have been a little bit of that. Whereas

:33:30.:33:33.

he's swimming into the meet and having seen Adam and Jazz last

:33:34.:33:37.

night, that surely has got to have lifted him. Because we talked about

:33:38.:33:40.

Adam Peaty and the positive effect that his medal and Jazz Carlin's

:33:41.:33:45.

medal will have had on the team, probably woke them all up here. But

:33:46.:33:51.

you know, that's definitely a good thing because Siobhan O'Connor said

:33:52.:33:54.

after the heats this morning that it has had a positive effect on the

:33:55.:33:57.

group and they want to carry that on. What will it do for Hanna and

:33:58.:34:06.

Siobhan? Hannah made it through to 12th but at the same time, this is

:34:07.:34:10.

not Hannah's main event. It's her birthday and she said that it is a

:34:11.:34:16.

bonus event. Whereas Siobhan, she looked fantastic. So controlled and

:34:17.:34:21.

smooth. She didn't look like she had to push it too hard. Obviously

:34:22.:34:29.

Hasszou was in there. They're in separate semifinals. So it will be

:34:30.:34:33.

interesting tonight to see what time Siobhan can go and I hope that she

:34:34.:34:36.

breaks the British record. . She seemed so relacked when she spoke to

:34:37.:34:39.

Sharon this morning so there's nothing to say she won't do it, is

:34:40.:34:43.

there. So plenty to look forward to in the pool. British interest, I

:34:44.:34:47.

hope that you don't mind me calling you Jase! A bit familiar there. All

:34:48.:34:53.

of the big names are out. Go for a cuddle with baby Boomer! Oh. We'll

:34:54.:34:58.

be back with you shortly but let's spin around the Olympic venues to

:34:59.:35:00.

show you what's happening and all available for you at the touch of a

:35:01.:35:05.

button. A lot of people contacting me last night saying they're loving

:35:06.:35:08.

the beach volleyball. That's available on BBC Four if you fancy a

:35:09.:35:11.

little bit of Italy against Canada. That's on BBC Four. But weed' love

:35:12.:35:18.

it if you stayed with us here on BBC One here. We have a little bit of

:35:19.:35:22.

hockey for you as well. That is on the red button. It's Argentina

:35:23.:35:30.

taking on Japan. However, if tennis is your thing and you want a bit of

:35:31.:35:35.

Australia Japan, Kei Nishikori taking on John Millman. That's on

:35:36.:35:40.

Centre Court available online. Novak Djokovic, who we saw yesterday

:35:41.:35:44.

evening go out in the singles is back on court on court number one

:35:45.:35:49.

representing Serbia in the doubles. And we have been watching here on

:35:50.:35:53.

BBC One the waterpolo. Croatia taking on Montenegro. We left it at

:35:54.:35:58.

half time. Croatia now leading Montenegro by 5-4. Although I think

:35:59.:36:06.

they've just scored again. That's available online too. Get inspired

:36:07.:36:14.

as BBC Sports inspires you to get active. Get SPIRED IS ON THE BBC

:36:39.:36:43.

we're passing the baton over to you. Just get up, get inspired and get

:36:44.:36:48.

active. Well, I just wonder how many people woke up this morning in UK

:36:49.:36:52.

and heard the news about Adam Peaty. Got out the swimming goggles and the

:36:53.:36:56.

bathers and dived into the pool. Let's remind ourselves of the four

:36:57.:36:57.

men who have won gold in the pool. David Wilkie is superb. And it's a

:36:58.:37:17.

new world record. David Wilkie! He's come back marvellously. And it's a

:37:18.:37:27.

good medal for Duncan Goodhew. And Moorehouse has won! This is

:37:28.:37:35.

quite extraordinary. There's oceans of clear blue water between Adam

:37:36.:37:39.

Peaty and the rest of the world. Absolutely fantastic. Adam Peaty

:37:40.:37:45.

takes Olympic gold for Britain by an absolute street. Olympic champion,

:37:46.:37:50.

gold medal Adam Peaty of Great Britain. A night that will live long

:37:51.:37:57.

in the memory. We're concentrating this evening on the swimming finals.

:37:58.:38:01.

Back to the pool shortly. James Guy's final comes up at 2:21. Could

:38:02.:38:06.

we be looking at another medal for Team GB? Let's bring you up to date

:38:07.:38:09.

with what happened in the gymnastics today.

:38:10.:38:19.

Where are we going to go with this? Where are we going to put the money?

:38:20.:38:31.

It can go anywhere? Now he needs a big dismount. Beautiful there full

:38:32.:38:37.

twist. David Valeski from the pummell

:38:38.:38:40.

horse. Russia going good. That was a great routine. Oh, dear, things not

:38:41.:38:59.

going to plan for Japan. Such an exciting young gymnast. Six-star

:39:00.:39:02.

value. It's going to be hard. It's going to be high and wow, it was so

:39:03.:39:10.

well landed as well. That was right on the top of his game. These guys

:39:11.:39:16.

are making these hugely difficult vaults look so simple. Alex Nador,

:39:17.:39:23.

the 25-year-old. Fourth highest qualifier on vault as a team for the

:39:24.:39:32.

US, what can they do here? Well, a super controlled double in the pike

:39:33.:39:37.

position. USA being USA, they're not about to sit down and roll over.

:39:38.:39:44.

This man, regarded as the finest gymnast on the planet. Absolute

:39:45.:39:49.

style. Beautiful, full of grit all the way through. That's how you land

:39:50.:39:56.

the P-bar routine, isn't it! Max Whitlock on the high bar working on

:39:57.:40:04.

all six bits of apparatus doing everything he can to get Great

:40:05.:40:07.

Britain the Olympic medal. He comes in on the double twist and the

:40:08.:40:13.

double straight. Three excellent bar routines from the British lads.

:40:14.:40:20.

Yeah, China are on the way. Japan lead. Russia in second. China,

:40:21.:40:26.

they're in third. Great Britain in fourth. Oh! How is that possible? I

:40:27.:40:35.

think that that was four! Yes, it was four. Lovely lift. Super triple

:40:36.:40:43.

twist! World silver medallist. Lewis, we need you now! Oh! What a

:40:44.:40:50.

shame. And today it just wasn't his day. As it stands at the moment,

:40:51.:40:54.

it's Japan, China, Great Britain. Where are Russia going to finish?

:40:55.:41:00.

All eyes here on the score board. It's a silver medal for the

:41:01.:41:08.

Russians. So Japan get a gold medal. So well done to Japan.

:41:09.:41:12.

Disappointment for Team GB in the men's final but obviously tomorrow

:41:13.:41:16.

we will concentrate on the women's gymnastics finals. All eyes surely

:41:17.:41:23.

on the American team especially bile bile bile. -- Simone Biles. All day,

:41:24.:41:30.

we've been talking about Adam Peaty there and Jazz Carlin who missed out

:41:31.:41:34.

on London 2012. We've been learning all about their training regimes and

:41:35.:41:38.

we look at the four-year training sacrifice.

:41:39.:41:45.

Four years, 208 weeks. 126 million, 144,000 seconds. That is the time

:41:46.:41:56.

period, the defining time period that articulates the both the per-I

:41:57.:42:01.

will and the privilege of being an -- peril and the privilege of being

:42:02.:42:06.

an elimpian. The thing that got me into cycling was the dream of going

:42:07.:42:09.

to the Olympic Games and competing for Britain. Everything that you do,

:42:10.:42:14.

everything is to train for the Olympics and compete there. It is

:42:15.:42:17.

going to be challenging but this is what we live for. This creates the

:42:18.:42:23.

stakes. One tiny error on the grand stage and you have to wait four

:42:24.:42:27.

years to correct it. The defending champion thrown out

:42:28.:42:32.

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

:42:33.:42:36.

never actually hit the wall that we talk about in the marathon but I hit

:42:37.:42:41.

it with a bang in Athens. It took a lot of time to mentally and

:42:42.:42:46.

physically get back because I felt like I let a lot of people down. You

:42:47.:42:51.

get one shot in four years and you always think this is the last chance

:42:52.:42:54.

to win Olympic gold. You can be introduced for the rest of your life

:42:55.:42:57.

as an Olympian and that means something to the world.

:42:58.:42:59.

Fundamentally, the Olympic Games isn't about what happens in the

:43:00.:43:02.

spotlight, it's the stuff that we never see. The training bases, the

:43:03.:43:08.

altitude camps. The 5:30 am on a frosty morning in February where all

:43:09.:43:12.

you really want to do is stay in bed. If you have a life when you're

:43:13.:43:16.

preparing for the Olympics, then you're not do it right. It's so hard

:43:17.:43:22.

to train and go up and down that black line 400 times in one day.

:43:23.:43:26.

Having to get up savagely early every morning and flog ourselves up

:43:27.:43:30.

and down the lake and miss weekends. These are not things that I

:43:31.:43:34.

masochistly enjoy. This is the price of success. What looks like an awful

:43:35.:43:39.

way to live your life for us is actually normal. That routine is

:43:40.:43:42.

part of who they are, part of how they live their life and therefore,

:43:43.:43:46.

you just get on with it. Once you get that feeling, being on the

:43:47.:43:51.

podium, you know, it's just like... You wake up and you're like, I'm not

:43:52.:43:56.

tired, I'm going for a run. I have to go for a run You have to sustain

:43:57.:44:02.

your motivation for four years. You have to make sacrifices for four

:44:03.:44:06.

years. You have to make strangers of your family for four years. My life

:44:07.:44:12.

has, essentially, been overtaken by a long jumper. Greg missed our first

:44:13.:44:20.

scan. Greg almost missed our child's first birthday. He does mills out on

:44:21.:44:24.

a lot and I think that it is tough for him because being a dad is more

:44:25.:44:28.

important than being an athlete to him. As a mum, it's hard to fully

:44:29.:44:32.

switch off from thinking about your child and you know, if I didn't put

:44:33.:44:37.

100% in and was just wasting time, it would just be awful. I need to

:44:38.:44:40.

know that I'm doing this for really good reasons and that he's going to

:44:41.:44:44.

be able to look back and be like - wow, look at what my mum did. When

:44:45.:44:49.

you get on to the stage itself, the psychological danger flips. The

:44:50.:44:52.

problem now is not motivation, but fear. You want to perform so much

:44:53.:44:58.

that you become paranoid that you won't. I think the key to being

:44:59.:45:04.

successful in that moment is being able to manage your emotions, to be

:45:05.:45:10.

able to maintain a sense of calm and being present. Now has to look like

:45:11.:45:13.

I know what I'm doing. Now has to look like I'm in control. The thing

:45:14.:45:17.

I love the most is just that kind of adrenaline. Like, I love the fact

:45:18.:45:21.

that when I walk into the velodrome, I realise that this is happening and

:45:22.:45:25.

just that kind of emotional feeling that I get and I just know that I'm

:45:26.:45:30.

so ready for that moment. There is an essential cruelty in sport. The

:45:31.:45:35.

juc apposition of the dreams, the sack -- juxtaposition of the dreams

:45:36.:45:39.

and the sacrifices and the top of a podium reserved for just one.

:45:40.:45:45.

There's a cruelty too, that after an epic journey measured in years,

:45:46.:45:49.

success and failure are measured in fractions. 1.8 seconds is how long

:45:50.:45:53.

it takes to do one dive. So all six of my dives are over faster than

:45:54.:45:58.

Usain Bolt's race. It's not just starting at the bottom and then

:45:59.:46:01.

suddenly finding yourself at the top of the podium. It takes so many set

:46:02.:46:06.

backs and injuries and moments where you question whether you even want

:46:07.:46:09.

to continue doing your sport to actually get you to that point and

:46:10.:46:13.

that's what makes it so much sweeter when you actually do achieve it.

:46:14.:46:17.

Ultimately, it's how we deal with the set backs and the challenges.

:46:18.:46:23.

How we deal with the consequences of losing and winning that make us who

:46:24.:46:32.

we are. Matthew Said reporting there who

:46:33.:46:35.

represented Great Britain in table tennis in 1992 in Barcelona and the

:46:36.:46:40.

2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. Perfectly setting up more live sport

:46:41.:46:44.

for you. It's been a super day for Paul Drinkhall. These are live

:46:45.:46:48.

pictures, becoming only the third Briton to reach the last 16 in the

:46:49.:46:57.

Olympic table tennis. 26 years old from Middlesbrough. 4-2 to match

:46:58.:47:06.

Desmond Dennis in 1992 and Carl Preen. He's booked a place against

:47:07.:47:09.

that man, Vladamir Samsonov, of bell arules. We have live swimming coming

:47:10.:47:18.

up but first let's bring you to commentary from Don Parker.

:47:19.:47:23.

Going around the top there. Drinkhall was the senior member of

:47:24.:47:28.

the Great Britain team who earlier in the year at the team

:47:29.:47:31.

championships in malailsia, won a bronze medal. First time for over --

:47:32.:47:37.

Malaysia, won a bronze medal. First time for over 20 years that they got

:47:38.:47:43.

there and it was a fine performance. Drinkhall contributing significantly

:47:44.:47:45.

along with Liam Pitchford and Sam Walker.

:47:46.:47:56.

Drinkhall was an outstanding junior. Won the European cadet

:47:57.:47:59.

championships, the under 14 and under 18 age groups. Samsonov just

:48:00.:48:07.

winning three consecutive points. So consistent is Samsonov. Once he

:48:08.:48:23.

forces his opponent away from the table, doesn't make many mistakes.

:48:24.:48:27.

Going to put him under pressure there. Just mistiming the backhand

:48:28.:48:37.

top spin. Edge ball! A little bit of good

:48:38.:48:57.

fortune for Britain's Paul Drinkhall. Halfway stage of this

:48:58.:49:02.

first game. It's five points each. You can see there how the ball went

:49:03.:49:07.

upwards. That demonstrates that it has, in fact, caught the edge of the

:49:08.:49:11.

table rather than the side of the table. Did all of the hard work

:49:12.:49:18.

there did Paul Drinkhall. He played the excellent backhand down the line

:49:19.:49:22.

and set up the forehand top spin, just slightly mistimed it. Tactics

:49:23.:49:26.

were good. Unfortunately, the execution not quite as good. So

:49:27.:49:35.

Samsonov now having been 4-0 down took a 6-5 lead but now six points

:49:36.:49:39.

each. Good backhand top spin from Drinkhall. Brushed up the top of the

:49:40.:49:46.

ball. Excessive top spin. And again, the players taking the opportunity

:49:47.:49:51.

both of them to towel down as they can every six points.

:49:52.:50:01.

That was a great backhand block from Samsonov. Good top spin from Paul

:50:02.:50:07.

Drinkhall. Vladamir Samsonov was equal to it with the backhand. Not

:50:08.:50:10.

only did he block, but he put a little bit of elbow and wrist into

:50:11.:50:14.

the shots so it came back with speed. Oh, that's a great flick.

:50:15.:50:25.

Samsonov renowned for his delicate touch over the table. Paul Drinkhall

:50:26.:50:30.

there, a well placed four hand flick right in the corner of the table.

:50:31.:50:31.

Perfect placement. Good top spins from Samsonov.

:50:32.:50:48.

Drinkhall putting Samsonov under pressure, but Samsonov was equal to

:50:49.:50:53.

it. He managed to spin the ball back each time. And the player from

:50:54.:50:58.

Belarus now with a one-point lead. Top spin to top spin rally and it

:50:59.:51:13.

was Britain's Paul Drinkhall who came out on top. Eight points each.

:51:14.:51:22.

Samsonov with his two serves to come. Born in Minsk in Belarus.

:51:23.:51:33.

Currently lives in Grenada in Spain. Obviously likes the sun, wife and

:51:34.:51:35.

two boys. Two game points for Vladamir

:51:36.:51:54.

Samsonov. Paul Drinkhall just taking his time. He has his two serves to

:51:55.:52:00.

come. Still in with a good chance. But of course, he has to take both

:52:01.:52:05.

points with his serves. First one coming up.

:52:06.:52:23.

Oh uc well done Paul Drinkhall. A great rally. Samsonov spinning the

:52:24.:52:32.

ball back from away from the table. Drinkhall waited for the opportunity

:52:33.:52:36.

and then he brought one down the line. Good tactics. That's one out

:52:37.:52:42.

of one. Can he take the second point with the serve to take this game to

:52:43.:52:45.

ten points each? Taking his time. The serve drifted

:52:46.:52:58.

long. Samsonov is in with the forehand top spin. And Vladamir

:52:59.:53:00.

Samsonov takes the first time 11-9. See here, the serve just drifting

:53:01.:53:14.

long. Samsonov is able to let the ball come over the edge of the

:53:15.:53:18.

table. He can then play a stronger top spin, exactly what he does.

:53:19.:53:23.

Pumples the air with delight. -- punches the air with delight. And

:53:24.:53:28.

the players now with their coaches. They have one minute to take onboard

:53:29.:53:34.

advice. 11-9 to Vladamir Samsonov of Belarus. He wins the first game

:53:35.:53:37.

against Paul Drinkhall of Great Britain. Alan Cook in the corner

:53:38.:53:45.

there. Done a wonderful job with Team GB. The players have performed

:53:46.:53:52.

some of their best table tennis in 2016. Bronze medal at the World Teen

:53:53.:53:58.

Championships. Paul Drinkhall, Frank Pritchard and Sam Walker and Alan

:53:59.:54:02.

Cook in the corner working with them, helping them. And now here at

:54:03.:54:09.

the Olympics, Paul Drinkhall playing for a place in the quarterfinal.

:54:10.:54:13.

He's beaten two players ranked above him already. He's having a great

:54:14.:54:18.

tournament but he's lost the first game 11-9. Both players back at the

:54:19.:54:21.

table. Second game, Paul Drinkhall of Team

:54:22.:54:30.

GB to serve. Great rally. Both players playing on

:54:31.:54:47.

the diaganol. Drinkhall playing the forehand from the backhand side.

:54:48.:54:58.

A little bit of good fortune there for Drinkhall. The ball catches the

:54:59.:55:04.

top of it and trickles over very quick to raise his arm. Acknowledges

:55:05.:55:10.

his good fortune. And one thing is for sure - Vladamir Samsonov won't

:55:11.:55:14.

let it scup set him. He'll just be -- upset him. He'll be folk upsed on

:55:15.:55:19.

this. That's a God backhand down the line. Drink was moving down there to

:55:20.:55:25.

play a forehand. Just has to readjust. But he just can't quite

:55:26.:55:28.

get across. Drink playing with good power there.

:55:29.:55:42.

Putting Samsonov under pressure. Again, it's Drinkhall who makes the

:55:43.:55:45.

better start. He led 4-0 in the first game. He leads 3-1 in the

:55:46.:55:53.

second game. Can he keep it going? That is a wonderful return of

:55:54.:55:58.

service. Long fast push out wide to Drinkhall's forehand. That was the

:55:59.:56:02.

last thing that Drinkhall was expecting. Wonderful tactics.

:56:03.:56:15.

Three points each. Two very good returns of service there from

:56:16.:56:24.

Vladamir Samsonov. Oh, what a great countertop spin

:56:25.:56:41.

from Drinkhall. He anticipated the top spin coming down the line. He's

:56:42.:56:45.

exposed himself. Samsonov goes for it. Look at that top spin. Side spin

:56:46.:56:50.

as well. The ball bending away from Vladamir Samsonov.

:56:51.:57:09.

Interesting tactics there from Samsonov. He forced Drinkhall away

:57:10.:57:13.

from the table but he didn't go for the rocket. He just played

:57:14.:57:18.

consistent top spins. Kept the initiative. Kept Paul Drinkhall away

:57:19.:57:23.

from the table. Drinkhall did really well to return the top spins. But

:57:24.:57:28.

clever tactical play from the 40-year-old from bell arules.

:57:29.:57:35.

Consistent top spins win the points for Samsonov.

:57:36.:58:00.

Time out called by Paul Drinkhall. Each player is entitled to one time

:58:01.:58:07.

out in the match. It's normally used when a player feels that his

:58:08.:58:11.

opponent has got the momentum. Samsonov has won the last three

:58:12.:58:19.

points. And of course, if Drinkhall goes 2-0 down, it's a mountain to

:58:20.:58:28.

climb against the number 7 seed. So I think that a good call by Great

:58:29.:58:35.

Britain's Paul Drinkhall. He'll be hoping to compose himself. He'll be

:58:36.:58:44.

hoping that the break in play takes the momentum away from Vladamir

:58:45.:58:55.

Samsonov. Alan Cook played in the first ever Olympic Games when table

:58:56.:59:00.

tennis made its debut in Seoul in 1988. Had a good tournament in those

:59:01.:59:05.

days and it was eight groups of eight. The top two going through.

:59:06.:59:10.

Alan Cook finished third in the group. Otherwise, he would have

:59:11.:59:17.

qualified for the last 16 when it became the knock-out stage. Here,

:59:18.:59:21.

it's been knock-out from the word "go". You lose your first game and

:59:22.:59:24.

you're out of the tournament. So good with the control, Vladamir

:59:25.:59:47.

Samsonov. Glides around the table. Very God hand. Very good feeling. --

:59:48.:59:54.

very good hand. Very good feeling. He's able to delicately touch the

:59:55.:59:57.

ball over the net which requires very fine touch skills. And then

:59:58.:00:01.

he's able to play with an enormous amount of power. Just overhits that

:00:02.:00:06.

forehand top spin down the line. Always more difficult to go down the

:00:07.:00:10.

line than it is to go across the table. The target is that little bit

:00:11.:00:13.

shorter. Drinkhall now with his two serves to

:00:14.:00:27.

come. Fishing a little bit away from the

:00:28.:00:45.

table, scrambling the ball back. Samsonov took the initiative, forced

:00:46.:00:49.

Drinkhall away from the table. Drinkhall doing everything he

:00:50.:00:53.

possibly can to get back into the rally, but he's now three points

:00:54.:01:10.

adrift. What a backhand down the line. This really is throwing

:01:11.:01:13.

caution to the wind. Just watch the backhand now. Samsonov didn't even

:01:14.:01:18.

attempt to go for the ball. He couldn't believe the speed at which

:01:19.:01:21.

that rocketed down the line. Samsonov edging his way towards 11

:01:22.:01:41.

points. Paul Drinkhall needs this point.

:01:42.:01:43.

And he was unlucky there. It was a good return of serve. A long, fast

:01:44.:01:50.

push into Samsonov's backhand. He got him with the strong topspin but

:01:51.:01:55.

the control of the 40-year-old, Vladimir Samsonov, is quite amazing.

:01:56.:02:01.

Four game points for the 40-year-old from Belarus. This time the topspin

:02:02.:02:10.

down the line off the table. Samsonov takes the second game 11-6

:02:11.:02:13.

and now leads by two games to nil. Paul Drinkhall up against it in this

:02:14.:02:31.

one against Vladimir Samsonov. Let me remind you that Samsonov is

:02:32.:02:34.

ranked number nine in the world. The Belorussian is one of the few

:02:35.:02:39.

players who can topple the best Chinese players in the world. This

:02:40.:02:43.

match continues on the red button. If you want to continue watching

:02:44.:02:48.

that, it's on the red button. Let's go live to the big night of swimming

:02:49.:02:50.

finals. Lots to look forward to in the pool

:02:51.:02:56.

this evening. James Guy is chasing a medal but let's get into into the

:02:57.:03:01.

semifinal of the women's 200m free. Thank you, Helen. That black hat two

:03:02.:03:05.

lanes from the front of your shot there is Missy Franklin of the USA.

:03:06.:03:11.

She won four gold medals in 2012 and she's only in lane seven. Fastest

:03:12.:03:17.

qualifier, McKeon of Australia in four. Two Chinese women, including a

:03:18.:03:30.

14-year-old, in lane 6. Beauden Barrett is in lane two for

:03:31.:03:37.

Australia. Bronze medallist here. -- Bronte Campbell.

:03:38.:03:43.

These women have to be careful because the second semifinals are

:03:44.:03:47.

absolutely stacked. I wouldn't be surprised if all three medals come

:03:48.:03:49.

from the second semi. This is the first one and a good start from lane

:03:50.:04:00.

four. This afternoon it was McKeon and

:04:01.:04:07.

Bonnet. Bronte Barratt and Missy Franklin have some history here.

:04:08.:04:11.

Barrett is in the top three but it looks like McKeon, the only woman

:04:12.:04:17.

under 27 for the first 50m and very strong, beautiful, long stroke from

:04:18.:04:25.

McKeon. The gold medallist there is the world record-setter and the

:04:26.:04:29.

Aussie women's freestyle, well, originally they called it the

:04:30.:04:32.

Australian crawl when they first named it. They've dominated. Outside

:04:33.:04:38.

world record, it's a fast first 50 for them but not a world record

:04:39.:04:42.

here, Bonnet and Barrett taking the lead.

:04:43.:04:44.

This is how Charlotte Bonnet swam the heat. She was out fast to 100m

:04:45.:04:50.

and the rest of the field caught her up. This is interesting. At the top

:04:51.:04:54.

of the shot there - 4, 3, 2, all of them starting to push the pace and

:04:55.:05:01.

it looks like maybe in three at the moment, Shen of China, sixth in the

:05:02.:05:04.

World Championships and leading. It's Bronte Barratt first. No, it's

:05:05.:05:09.

Shen first, Barrett second and now the charge is going to come and it

:05:10.:05:13.

looks like it's at the top of the picture. Absolutely. It's lane

:05:14.:05:17.

three, Duo Shen, the 19-year-old from China coming strongly true.

:05:18.:05:20.

It's all the way one to five. They've dropped lane six here so

:05:21.:05:24.

Missy Franklin in seven will struggle to make the final. Shen of

:05:25.:05:28.

China looks like going very well inside the last five metres. She may

:05:29.:05:32.

win the first semifinal of the women's 200m free. She does. 1:56.0.

:05:33.:05:40.

It's quick but not that quick. McKeon second, Bonnet third and

:05:41.:05:44.

Missy Franklin eighth. I think she's going to struggle. A

:05:45.:05:50.

great swim from Shen, Andy, the 19-year-old Chinese lady. Very

:05:51.:05:57.

strong down that third 50m. There we see the start from where we're

:05:58.:06:00.

commentating here. You can see that view to the side. Coming down the

:06:01.:06:07.

first length... It was Shen. Actually it was Ai, the Chinese with

:06:08.:06:11.

the black cap on. And here in a line. Well, this was a slower of the

:06:12.:06:19.

two semifinals. The fastest through in the world in the next semifinals

:06:20.:06:23.

to very important to get a top three place, I think. Shen had a quick

:06:24.:06:29.

look over when she touched the wall. Two halves in the first semifinal.

:06:30.:06:37.

Shen, McKeon, Bonnet and Barrett all 1.56.5 and then it goes to 1:57.3. I

:06:38.:06:43.

feel like I need to properly well quom you to the fool pour -- pool

:06:44.:06:48.

for this evening's finals. Lots to look forward to tonight. James Guy

:06:49.:06:52.

going for a medal. We've got Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and Hannah

:06:53.:06:55.

Miley going in semifinals but right now we're looking at superstars from

:06:56.:07:00.

elsewhere around the globe. Missy Franklin, four gold medals in

:07:01.:07:04.

London. Her four-year cycle hasn't been brilliant, not great form this

:07:05.:07:08.

year. What's going on? She seems to have gone off the boil. In 11, 12

:07:09.:07:14.

and 13, she was the new star, if you like, she was like Katie Ledecky

:07:15.:07:18.

now. I know she had an injury. She started university. I would say to

:07:19.:07:22.

her leave school. She's had a lot of distractions in her life. She came

:07:23.:07:25.

out and sometimes - you've got to remember being at the top for a long

:07:26.:07:29.

period of time takes a lot out of you physically and mentally. She's

:07:30.:07:32.

out of sorts. I feel like she's the kind of girl who has been asked to

:07:33.:07:37.

do a lot g to a lot of functions, charities, hospitals and by all

:07:38.:07:40.

accounts she does everything. If we're talking about the old guard as

:07:41.:07:45.

it were, let's talk about Pellegrini in the next semifinal. Ledecky and

:07:46.:07:49.

Sjostrom, we've talked a lot about them, what about Pellegrini. Can she

:07:50.:07:54.

get up amongst the medals? The great thing for Pellegrini is she's been

:07:55.:07:58.

at the top of her game for so long. It's her world record. She got a

:07:59.:08:01.

silver at the World Championships last year. She's Olympic Champion

:08:02.:08:06.

from 2008. She is one to watch, definitely. I'm so excited about

:08:07.:08:11.

Katie Ledecky, as I just think we saw her in the 4 x 100m freestyle on

:08:12.:08:18.

the first day where she did a fantastic 100m split. She broke the

:08:19.:08:23.

world record in the 400m. Personally, I think Katie is the

:08:24.:08:27.

threat here but Pellegrini wants to be on the podium so she'll be

:08:28.:08:33.

fighting for a place. But this isn't Katie's favourite event is it, Katie

:08:34.:08:37.

Ledecky, but she's aiming to make history. Four gold medals, yeah!

:08:38.:08:41.

Least favourite. I think she'll enjoy this a bit more. I think you

:08:42.:08:46.

do when it's not your main event, not as much pressure. No-one expects

:08:47.:08:50.

her to get the gold as much as they do in the 400m and 800m so the

:08:51.:08:56.

pressure's off her a little bit and I think she uses it as a bit of fun.

:08:57.:09:01.

I think she wants the four gold medals. She's obviously got one

:09:02.:09:04.

silver and one gold. She'll want to add to that. This event is the

:09:05.:09:09.

challenge for her. Because the four in the bag, smashed the world

:09:10.:09:12.

record, she's going to win the 800m freestyle. It's in the bag. This is

:09:13.:09:16.

the real challenge and champions like chalings. It's worth pointing

:09:17.:09:21.

out that -- challenges. It's worth pointing out that this really feels

:09:22.:09:25.

like a special place at the moment. We're seeing the who's who of the

:09:26.:09:29.

women out there. We're surrounded by the families of champions. The

:09:30.:09:33.

Phelps family are down here. We're going to lose Beccy in a minute and

:09:34.:09:37.

Chad Le Clos over there. You caught up with the Phelps clan. How are

:09:38.:09:42.

they feeling? They're loving it. I jokingly said, "Will this be

:09:43.:09:47.

Michael's last experience?" And I said in 2020 he'll be 38 and they're

:09:48.:09:52.

like, "Oh, my God, he's got more time!" Boomer won't remember it but

:09:53.:09:58.

you're recording it for playback. There's hundreds of photographers

:09:59.:10:01.

lining up to catch a glimpse of the Phelps clan. Now it's time for the

:10:02.:10:06.

second semifinal. Andy and Adrian, over to you.

:10:07.:10:09.

Well, the second semifinal is absolutely stacked, Helen. The

:10:10.:10:15.

fastest qualifier is Katie Ledecky of the USA but we've got the world

:10:16.:10:18.

record-holder in Federica Pellegrini. Can the great Ledecky

:10:19.:10:21.

win? World Champion in four. Sarah Sjostrom, fastest in the world this

:10:22.:10:28.

year. But here is Federica Pellegrini, the Olympic Champion

:10:29.:10:30.

from 2008, the world record-holder. She set the world record six times

:10:31.:10:36.

in this event. 1:52.98 is the world record. It's a phenomenal win, isn't

:10:37.:10:41.

it? Sarah Sjostrom walking out here, one of two swimmers who already have

:10:42.:10:46.

a gold medal at these Olympics and the pressure therefore is off.

:10:47.:10:51.

Sjostrom a brilliant sprinter. And Katie Ledecky, well, might not be

:10:52.:10:56.

her main event, the one we know her for, but she swam a phenomenal 100m

:10:57.:11:02.

freestyle, sub-53 in the American relay. I think she'll be strong in

:11:03.:11:09.

the 200m. What a line-up. Three world record-holders, the 200m

:11:10.:11:13.

freestyle world record-holder, this event, there in shot, Pellegrini.

:11:14.:11:22.

There's the 400m, 800m and 1,500m world record-holder, Katie Ledecky

:11:23.:11:24.

and in five, Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden. There she is. The world

:11:25.:11:29.

record-holder on the 1,500m fly. What a line-up. Tomorrow's final is

:11:30.:11:34.

going to be just fireworks. A slightly slower first semifinal

:11:35.:11:37.

tonight so this could be very interesting.

:11:38.:11:42.

Absolutely. We could see five of these swimmers get through. There is

:11:43.:11:48.

Pellegrini. Sorry, Heemskerk. She's the one -

:11:49.:11:53.

it's easy when they turn to the shied because the name is on the

:11:54.:11:57.

hat. She's not slow. She's in lane eight but she's the European silver

:11:58.:12:00.

medallist. Look out. Take your marks...

:12:01.:12:06.

Semifinal number two, the faster very much of the two semifinals and,

:12:07.:12:12.

in the centre lanes, three, four, five and six, Pellegrini, Ledecky,

:12:13.:12:15.

Sjostrom and Coleman. Well, the two Swedes next to each other with the

:12:16.:12:20.

yellow caps on and Coleman having a good dive and the first couple of

:12:21.:12:24.

strokes out of the surface and you can't split the swimmers right now.

:12:25.:12:28.

Ledecky and Sjostrom contributed last night to such a significant

:12:29.:12:34.

final session for me. Three swimmers broke the world records in their

:12:35.:12:37.

events. A dramatic night of swimming. To come back and battle it

:12:38.:12:45.

out for the 200m. Look at Coleman nearest to us, very steady, Andy.

:12:46.:12:55.

Look at Ledecky in the centre. She's hammering down the first 100m. She's

:12:56.:13:01.

not a sprinter. World record-holder on the 400m, 800m and 1,500m

:13:02.:13:06.

freestyle. She's worked really hard. I don't think Sjostrom worked quite

:13:07.:13:11.

as hard. She looks good now in the yellow hat in the leading group.

:13:12.:13:15.

Pellegrini renowned - back cap, three from the top - renowned for

:13:16.:13:20.

coming back strongly on the second 100m. So the two black caps, keep an

:13:21.:13:27.

eye on her. It's the three we thought who should battle it out for

:13:28.:13:31.

the medals tomorrow. A lot quicker than the first semifinal.

:13:32.:13:36.

This is absolutely fascinating. Sarah Sjostrom breathing away from

:13:37.:13:41.

Katie Ledecky in the black hat. And Sjostrom is trying to go away. This

:13:42.:13:48.

is interesting. They don't need to go this fast. I think they're just

:13:49.:13:53.

testing each other and Ledecky is hammering, absolutely hammering down

:13:54.:13:56.

the last 50m. I think Sjostrom will get the touch. She does. Very close

:13:57.:14:03.

indeed. And look at that - 1:54 much.6 wins it and Sjostrom and

:14:04.:14:06.

Ledecky have had a private battle. Look. She's looking at the clock

:14:07.:14:11.

going, "I think so..." I agree. That was significant. Ledecky didn't want

:14:12.:14:16.

to lose that. Sjostrom a lot stronger in the last ten metres than

:14:17.:14:19.

Ledecky. Really interesting, you know. Sjostrom didn't swim the 200m

:14:20.:14:23.

free at the World Championships last year. She did the Swedish relay. Led

:14:24.:14:28.

off and did a faster time than Ledecky's individual win. And you're

:14:29.:14:40.

right, private battles between these two not known necessarily for the

:14:41.:14:44.

200m free. Ledecky going in quicker than Sjostrom but the power and the

:14:45.:14:48.

strength came from Sjostrom, didn't it, at the end? Well, it certainly

:14:49.:14:54.

did. I'm not a professional face-reader but that smile, that

:14:55.:14:57.

cheeky smile that sort of said, "I did it! I was head to head and I won

:14:58.:15:04.

that battle," is one up to Sjostrom. Only matters to make the final. And

:15:05.:15:10.

a nice glide-in. Very nice. That's a nice tattoo, isn't it? On the right

:15:11.:15:18.

forearm. I think Coleman qualified as well in

:15:19.:15:22.

fifth place. We'll see that shortly. The two swids having a great

:15:23.:15:25.

semifinal. So the second semifinal was quick.

:15:26.:15:31.

Swedes having a great semifinal. So the second semifinal was quick.

:15:32.:15:33.

Pellegrini will certainly be in the final tomorrow night. The first four

:15:34.:15:45.

qualify. Very clear definition. The first

:15:46.:15:54.

four and then there's a split. A second gap between fourth and

:15:55.:16:01.

fifth. So Sjostrom fastest, Ledecky second, Pellegrini, all from the

:16:02.:16:04.

final heat. What a final that's going to be tomorrow night. Granted,

:16:05.:16:09.

it's only a semifinal but it's unusual for Katie Ledecky to touch

:16:10.:16:11.

the wall second. What effect will that have on her head? She's never

:16:12.:16:16.

lost a race at a major meet. She won't have liked that. It was quite

:16:17.:16:20.

strange that over the last 25m that Sarah swam away from her. You would

:16:21.:16:24.

think Katie would have the back end and the endurance and, um, yeah, I

:16:25.:16:27.

think that was a little bit of a shock to us all. She could be

:16:28.:16:31.

playing games there. It's kind of fascinating in a sense that you've

:16:32.:16:37.

got Pellegrini as the pure 200m freestyler, world record--holder.

:16:38.:16:40.

Sjostrom comes from butterfly and she's got a turn of speed at the end

:16:41.:16:44.

and I think she played a little bit. We both thought - I thought that

:16:45.:16:49.

Ledecky would bring her back in because Ledecky is an absolute

:16:50.:16:52.

animal. She's got so much back end. It's a completely different race.

:16:53.:16:56.

That's a fascinating one from tomorrow night. And a cheeky smile

:16:57.:16:59.

from Sarah Sjostrom said game on. Right, Jason?

:17:00.:17:02.

Helen, thank you very much indeed. We'll be back with you shortly.

:17:03.:17:07.

Let's get up to date with the table tennis. Paul Drinkhall is in his

:17:08.:17:14.

last-16 match against Vladimir Samsonov from Belarus, the world

:17:15.:17:17.

number nine in complete control of this match. He's three games up.

:17:18.:17:21.

That's available on the red button. Press red now if you want to

:17:22.:17:25.

continue with the live table tennis. And, as for the tennis, this

:17:26.:17:33.

happened a short time ago. This is Novak Djokovic, representing Serbia,

:17:34.:17:37.

he was beatin last night by Juan Martin del Potro in the men's

:17:38.:17:40.

singles and he's out of the men's doubles. They've lost to Brazil.

:17:41.:17:47.

This is what's happening on Centre Court right now. Nishikori is a set

:17:48.:17:56.

up, 2-1 up in the second set, and looking good. And that fellow looks

:17:57.:18:09.

really tired, doesn't he? If you want that, that's available online.

:18:10.:18:12.

Let's go back to Helen in the pool. Right, James Guy is World Champion

:18:13.:18:17.

in the 200m freestyle. Tonight he's chasing a medal in that very event.

:18:18.:18:26.

Out of the pool, he likes to do something not a swimmers get stuck

:18:27.:18:29.

into. Steve Perry has been finding out more.

:18:30.:18:43.

It's certainly unusual for Olympic athletes, innit, to be engaged in

:18:44.:18:51.

fishing? I've been fishing for years and I absolutely love it, obsessed.

:18:52.:18:55.

It's a great way to shut down and have something completely different.

:18:56.:19:00.

It's not all about pace. It's about what bait you use, what float you

:19:01.:19:05.

use. It's a good way to calm down, relax and just enjoy myself.

:19:06.:19:14.

This is going to be really close. James Guy in the centre! The gold

:19:15.:19:20.

medal goes to James Guy. World Champion, 200m freestyle! Well done,

:19:21.:19:25.

Sir! The 200m free is just to go out and have fun. I did that and it paid

:19:26.:19:29.

off. To get another medal there was pretty special.

:19:30.:19:33.

Success for me, really, would be to go in, get everything and get a PB.

:19:34.:19:37.

That would be medal territory. It would be nice to get a medal

:19:38.:19:42.

obviously, yeah. To do Team GB proud and obviously my family as well,

:19:43.:19:46.

they've done so much for me, it would be nice to repay that to them.

:19:47.:19:51.

It's a big dogfight at the finish and who can get their hand on the

:19:52.:19:56.

wall first. I'll try my best. He trains in the south but he's a

:19:57.:20:00.

proud northerner. We're all behind you, James! Good luck. Go do your

:20:01.:20:15.

thing. Andrew, Adrian. Take it away.

:20:16.:20:27.

Controversial character, Sun Yang, almost setting himself up as the

:20:28.:20:31.

arch villain in world swimming. But I have to say the winner could come

:20:32.:20:35.

from absolutely anywhere. James Guy of Great Britain will be closest to

:20:36.:20:40.

us, the World Champion on this, the 200m freestyle. He's in eight. Right

:20:41.:20:51.

at the top will be Chad Le Clos. Ade, what's going to happen? They're

:20:52.:20:55.

going to swim four lengths very quickly. Three people get medals.

:20:56.:20:59.

You know what? I think James Guy... I'm not sure. Outside... He's got to

:21:00.:21:03.

get out there. He's got to be amongst it. I'd like to see 1 and 8

:21:04.:21:09.

go out quicker. Chad will do in lane 1. I want James Guy amongst it

:21:10.:21:13.

early. I don't want him to fight back on the last 100m. We saw on the

:21:14.:21:20.

piece of film we just saw, he came back strongly against Sun Yang but

:21:21.:21:24.

he's got to swim it a bit differently from lane eight down

:21:25.:21:27.

nearest to us. With a bit of luck, they'll be

:21:28.:21:31.

watching each other on the inside and the middle and they won't see

:21:32.:21:35.

James Guy. There's the world record-holder in six, Biederman, the

:21:36.:21:39.

red hat of James Guy, the World Champion. Big breath.

:21:40.:21:52.

The time of the men's 200m freestyle at the Olympic Games in Rio de

:21:53.:21:56.

Janeiro and a fantastic start on the right-hand side of your shot. Look

:21:57.:22:00.

at that! He's a body length up after about 15m. Chad's going for it, I

:22:01.:22:05.

would say. Chad now a body length ahead. There's only way he's going

:22:06.:22:08.

to swim this race. He's going to go, try and hold it and hang in there

:22:09.:22:11.

and it's whether the rest of them can catch him. James Guy is still

:22:12.:23:30.

going well but the rest of the field is overtaking him. Still going well

:23:31.:23:37.

is Chad Le Clos. Back Yang gets the gold. The silver, a brilliant brave

:23:38.:23:42.

silver medal for Chad Le Clos of South Africa. Goodness me, Co in, or

:23:43.:23:46.

Dwyer the bronze and James Guy just touched out in fourth position. Oh,

:23:47.:23:51.

no! But, what, 17, 16 hundredths of a second. Oh, so close to a bronze.

:23:52.:24:01.

What an exciting race. Chad Le Clos hanging in there for 1:45.20. I

:24:02.:24:11.

thought the whole thing would fall off then. I thought his arms would

:24:12.:24:14.

point to the bottom and he wouldn't finish the race. What guts he had.

:24:15.:24:19.

Man, what a great swim! You've got to say, Ade, that the pacing of Sun

:24:20.:24:24.

Yang - he's not anyone's favourite in the pool but the pacing was

:24:25.:24:28.

perfect. It really was. If you're not careful, he'll start getting

:24:29.:24:32.

boos, if he keeps doing that. Well, he is. They're all coming from the

:24:33.:24:37.

competitors' stand by the way. Wow, Chad Le Clos, 15m, a full body

:24:38.:24:40.

length. I've never seen that. His start must have been. Let's see if

:24:41.:24:44.

we can see his start. He goes underwater. Well, he's very... It's

:24:45.:24:49.

a shame we didn't see the whole thing, and we see Michael Phelps do

:24:50.:24:54.

this. The fly guys, the fly boys, like you, Andy, brilliant. Burt

:24:55.:25:01.

there and his mum. Well, they've had some troubles, some tough stuff,

:25:02.:25:05.

both of them having gone through cancer, getting through cancer, and

:25:06.:25:09.

Chad, the glory swim. What a brave silver medal and Conor Dwyer, my

:25:10.:25:14.

man, got a medal. I thought he might win it at one point.

:25:15.:25:19.

Remember James Bond, the great big guy? What was his name? Yes! Yes!

:25:20.:25:28.

I'm not saying it. Was it Jaws? I want to say... I'm not sure about

:25:29.:25:33.

the name but... Well, that went well! He's a better swimmer, that's

:25:34.:25:38.

for certain. Throwing a swimming cap is not the same as throwing a ball.

:25:39.:25:43.

He's going to get soaked. Oh, water bomb.

:25:44.:25:50.

Be careful calling him names. Mack Horton called him a dope cheat in

:25:51.:25:55.

his press conference and got about two million responses on the Chinese

:25:56.:25:58.

version of Twitter. He did and they said why call him a drug cheat and

:25:59.:26:02.

he said, "Well, because he took banned drugs." Well, what a final

:26:03.:26:06.

that was, what a final. Sun Yang winning gold in the men's 200m

:26:07.:26:11.

freestyle comfortably in the end. Chad Le Clos, a brilliant, brave

:26:12.:26:18.

swim for silver, the bronze to Dwyer and James Guy fourth by 0.16. Oh!

:26:19.:26:23.

James, you threw everything at that Yeah, I did. I tried to kind of

:26:24.:26:29.

control the semifinal a bit yesterday and unluckily I came

:26:30.:26:32.

fourth, which is devastating. I can hear in your voice that you're

:26:33.:26:37.

frustrated. I don't know if you're aware but Chad went off like a

:26:38.:26:40.

rocket. He was a length up after the first length. Chad is a good guy. He

:26:41.:26:45.

goes out fast and uses his strength in his underwater phases. I knew if

:26:46.:26:49.

I had a chance to swim back fast, I did, and I just missed out. It was a

:26:50.:26:52.

matter of everybody swimming their own race. Different people swam a I

:26:53.:26:55.

have different way in there. Of course. I realised at the start of

:26:56.:27:02.

the meet that the worlds are here and the Olympics are here. In the

:27:03.:27:06.

first few days, I let the swimming control me and then I was

:27:07.:27:08.

controlling the swimming. I'm getting into the meet now and

:27:09.:27:11.

hopefully I'll do well on the last day with the boys. You're still only

:27:12.:27:15.

20. There's at least another am couple of Olympics games in you.

:27:16.:27:21.

Yeah, of course. This hasn't been perfectly right. I'm 20, I'm

:27:22.:27:27.

enjoying it, I've come fourth. If someone had said four years ago that

:27:28.:27:31.

I'd make two Olympics finals, I'd have took it. You've got the

:27:32.:27:35.

fantastic relay at the end of the week. Yeah, got one tomorrow night

:27:36.:27:39.

with the boys and hoping to dominate like last year. AutoI'll give it

:27:40.:27:43.

everything I've got for Team GB at home and our family as well. Get

:27:44.:27:47.

some rest. We'll see you again soon. Thank you, Sharon.

:27:48.:27:51.

It's almost the worst position to be in, coming fourth, because at one

:27:52.:27:55.

point you thought he was going to sneak it. I think we've seen Chad go

:27:56.:27:59.

out hard and then die off, especially in the last 50m and

:28:00.:28:02.

that's where James is really strong. I thought he would overtake Chad

:28:03.:28:05.

there. I feel really disappointed for James but, having said, that it

:28:06.:28:10.

was a good time, only 0.3 off his personal best and I think he'd be

:28:11.:28:13.

really pleased on reflection saying, "You know what? I got back down to

:28:14.:28:17.

where the time wants to be." It's just a shame because obviously a

:28:18.:28:21.

certain person in that field... He would have been on the podium if

:28:22.:28:26.

that wasn't the case. That's the more devastating thing is someone

:28:27.:28:29.

shouldn't have been there. You're talking about Sun Yang. Just to

:28:30.:28:32.

point out, if you haven't been following it all week, Sun Yang has

:28:33.:28:36.

served a secret drugs ban. He served it and it was only announced

:28:37.:28:40.

afterwards. So not everybody's favourite person. No. I think

:28:41.:28:44.

everybody athlete wants a clean sport and we're all wanting lifetime

:28:45.:28:47.

bans to stop people from cheating. Anyway, but I think it was a

:28:48.:28:52.

fantastic race. I think he did really, really well. He looked more

:28:53.:28:55.

like himself, more colour back in his face and that looks good for the

:28:56.:28:59.

relace coming up later in the week. Let's talk about the women's 100m

:29:00.:29:04.

backstroke final. We have to talk about a certain lady in there,

:29:05.:29:10.

Katinka Hosszu. She's had a busy week. Look at what she's in this

:29:11.:29:13.

week because for a lot of people, this is a heck of a schedule, isn't

:29:14.:29:17.

it? She is: that's if she reaches all of

:29:18.:29:27.

those finals but swimming at this level in any race is demanding and

:29:28.:29:32.

they're demanding races. I hope she swims hard, gets tonight's medal and

:29:33.:29:37.

then she'll be tired for Siobhan's race tomorrow night. I'd love

:29:38.:29:43.

Siobhan to get that medal. Your wash wish may come true. -- wish may come

:29:44.:29:51.

true. I'm sure Andy and Adrian wouldn't possibly join her on that

:29:52.:29:53.

opinion! Let's move on. You join us as the

:29:54.:29:57.

squirmers are about to enter the water for the final of the women's

:29:58.:30:01.

100m backstrock. There is Katinka Hosszu. What an extraordinary world

:30:02.:30:06.

record that was. Ke. There is Katinka Hosszu. What an

:30:07.:30:08.

extraordinary world record that was. I have to say the swimmers who could

:30:09.:30:13.

win this are all over the place. In lane one, World Champion Emily

:30:14.:30:20.

Seebohm. Kath leek Bark surprise qualifier in four, Hosszu in five

:30:21.:30:27.

and -- Kathleen Baker, surprise qualifier in four and Hosszu in

:30:28.:30:34.

five. The final of the 100m backstroke for women.

:30:35.:30:38.

It's two lengths' backstroke and the winner could come from absolutely

:30:39.:30:42.

anywhere. A decent start at the bottom from Smoliga of the USA.

:30:43.:30:47.

That's interesting. Andy, I think Hosszu and Baker will have the race

:30:48.:30:53.

between them. Hosszu in five, slow start. Baker in four, the

:30:54.:30:58.

19-year-old, looking strong. I think anyone around 58.5 will win it, you

:30:59.:31:01.

know. Lane one, Seebohm going strong. Seebohm turning first. 0.05

:31:02.:31:07.

seconds ahead of Baker. Well, Seebohm does not want to let this

:31:08.:31:14.

go, does she? By far the fastest swimmer at the top, Seebohm but the

:31:15.:31:19.

start and turn of Kathleen Baker were brilliant. Coming through in

:31:20.:31:24.

lane five is Hosszu. The white hat of Hosszu in five. Baker in four.

:31:25.:31:29.

Also in seven is Nielsen. This will be a blanket. Coming through in

:31:30.:31:33.

three is Fu. Hosszu has got it, I think! She does! Oh, my good.

:31:34.:31:39.

Katinka Hosszu inside the last 15m just ripped it, 58:4. The time

:31:40.:31:43.

relatively slow compared to what we thought but the gold medal in the

:31:44.:31:47.

100m free stroke added to the brilliant world record on the 400m

:31:48.:31:51.

individual medley, Katinka Hosszu. Adrian, can you believe that? We saw

:31:52.:31:57.

her schedule, the iron lady of swimming! Sorry about that slim.

:31:58.:32:01.

Hosszu, yeah, very strong in the last five metres. Very, very

:32:02.:32:05.

impressive with a schedule she's got. Joint third place, equal third

:32:06.:32:15.

we can see there with Kylie Masse and Yuanhui Fu of China. The rest of

:32:16.:32:20.

the swimmers not getting down beyond 58.75.

:32:21.:32:23.

I can tell you that all the swimmers are still in the pool. Apart from

:32:24.:32:28.

Emily Seebohm, up in lane one, she's got out already and she's pretty

:32:29.:32:31.

much walking out of the side of the pool. What a shocking Olympics she's

:32:32.:32:36.

had. It's not a good race for her. She was world champ and so

:32:37.:32:42.

disappointed in 2012 losing out to Missy Franklin. She qualified

:32:43.:32:46.

fastest and in the semifinal did the fastest race in 2012 and then came

:32:47.:32:51.

second. Got silver. I think Seebohm was seventh in this race. She'll be

:32:52.:32:59.

very disappointed. 59.1 well off the pace. She was first to the 50m. She

:33:00.:33:03.

committed to it. Some of the swimmers in the outside lanes feel

:33:04.:33:07.

their only way to do it is to blast out. I don't know, caution to the

:33:08.:33:11.

wind and all that sort of stuff and maybe... I don't know... The

:33:12.:33:18.

rationality goes and your emotions cannot control you. You have to be

:33:19.:33:23.

cold, calm and calculating. She is. Well, remind me never to bet on

:33:24.:33:29.

swimming. Look at that. Hosszu wins gold on the 100m backstroke.

:33:30.:33:34.

Kathleen Baker from the USA wins silver and Masse from Canada, the

:33:35.:33:37.

bronze, tied with Fu, quite extraordinary.

:33:38.:33:43.

Yeah. #7 well, unfortunately for Siobhan Marie O'Connor and tomorrow

:33:44.:33:48.

night's 200m IM, Katinka Hosszu does not look tired. She looks like she's

:33:49.:33:54.

flirg. I know, God damn it! She's amazing. She's a metronome. She

:33:55.:33:59.

doesn't have any speed but what she's got - she just doesn't slow

:34:00.:34:03.

down. She almost accelerated in the last 25m. She's not a sprinter. How

:34:04.:34:07.

is she that good in so many events? I don't know. If I knew, I'd be

:34:08.:34:11.

making a comeback! I don't know. It's one of those things. It's a

:34:12.:34:16.

combination that she races so much and just, obviously, her and her

:34:17.:34:20.

husband - slash coach have got a very kind of unique relationship.

:34:21.:34:24.

You can see him - he just goes crazy when she races. He is exhausting

:34:25.:34:28.

that watch, that man. Keep an eye out for him. He's not hard to miss.

:34:29.:34:33.

He's got a ponytail and goes bananas whenever she's in the water. James

:34:34.:34:36.

Guy has been in the pool but we've got two more Brits to come and two

:34:37.:34:40.

of the biggest names in swimming but that's after we find out how Paul

:34:41.:34:47.

Drinkhall is getting on. Back to Helen shortly but let's find

:34:48.:34:50.

out what's happening between Paul Drinkhall and Vladimir Samsonov of

:34:51.:34:53.

Belarus. The world number nine, Samsonov won the first three games

:34:54.:34:57.

in this best-of-seven contest remember. But Drinkhall, remarkably,

:34:58.:35:05.

saved seven match points. He took the fourth game 3-1 and that

:35:06.:35:10.

match continues on the red button. You can join it live now if you want

:35:11.:35:17.

and let's hope that Paul Drinkhall can stay in this. So that's live for

:35:18.:35:32.

you on the red button. Back to Helen.

:35:33.:35:37.

Next up in the men's 100m backstroke. We've had pretty quick

:35:38.:35:41.

times this evening. Looking down the start list, particularly at the

:35:42.:35:45.

Americans, this could be really, really fast. Is the world record

:35:46.:35:50.

going to go? I think they'll get close. Under 52 - only one person

:35:51.:36:02.

has ever been under 52 and that's the world record but Plummer and

:36:03.:36:07.

Lacourt have come close as well as Murphy. They came close to smashing

:36:08.:36:12.

the world record before but when you add the occasion, what effect does

:36:13.:36:16.

this stage have? It gives you the extra 1% that all athletes talk

:36:17.:36:20.

about. I spoke about it with Hannah's race in the individual

:36:21.:36:23.

medley. Sometimes you just need the 1% and you can find it from

:36:24.:36:26.

somewhere, just the crowd or seeing your team-mate next to you or seeing

:36:27.:36:30.

your mum and dad waving you on, which you can do here. It's that

:36:31.:36:33.

little 1% and I think for these guys, they're going to push at east

:36:34.:36:36.

och and they're against the best in the world. They're all hungry for

:36:37.:36:41.

the gold medal! Right, Andrew, Adrian, take us through this one.

:36:42.:36:48.

Thank you, Helen. You join us with three swimmers to be presented and

:36:49.:36:52.

that was, well, for me, the favourite, Mitch Larkin of

:36:53.:36:57.

Australia. And here, well, the two Americans now coming out, David

:36:58.:37:01.

Plummer and Ryan Murphy, the fastest two. Unfortunately, we'd love to

:37:02.:37:07.

have shown you Camille Lacourt of France in lane six. Three, four,

:37:08.:37:11.

five and six are difficult to choose but maybe this guy, Ryan Murphy.

:37:12.:37:17.

Well, both Americans - this is their first Olympic Games and America have

:37:18.:37:21.

won this event since 1996 and had a one-two at the last Olympics. It's

:37:22.:37:27.

on their shoulders and Plummer is very strong. He's 30 years of age,

:37:28.:37:31.

his first Olympics, father of two, he's a swim coach and he's in here.

:37:32.:37:39.

The USA has a fantastic tradition here. Can the Australians be

:37:40.:37:45.

spoilers? His girlfriend just came seventh, that was Emily Seebohm.

:37:46.:37:49.

They were meant to go gold and gold. What will happen here? The USA have

:37:50.:37:55.

won the last five Olympics golds in this event. Is that streak? Danger?

:37:56.:37:59.

I don't think it is. I think they're likely to do it. Mitch didn't look

:38:00.:38:04.

so good in the semis. Also you mentioned Emily is his partner. He's

:38:05.:38:08.

going to have to switch that off. Talk about existing in a bubble. For

:38:09.:38:12.

five or ten minutes I has to close off the care for somebody who is

:38:13.:38:15.

definitely hurting around the back somewhere. This is his race right

:38:16.:38:19.

now and as World Champion and someone who has consistently raced

:38:20.:38:25.

very well in this event... I think he's got a better chance in the

:38:26.:38:31.

200m, mind. USA has gone one-two in 2008 and 2012. Can they do the

:38:32.:38:35.

triple double? Murphy in four, Plummer in five. The spoilers are

:38:36.:38:43.

Larkin for The starter held them a long time.

:38:44.:38:56.

This final will be fascinating. A very good start for Ryan Murphy, the

:38:57.:39:00.

21-year-old from the University of California, Berkeley. Very good

:39:01.:39:04.

start for him. Expect them under the world record split in the first

:39:05.:39:08.

half. Purse yol's record is relatively

:39:09.:39:14.

slow. -- Persol's record is relatively slow. N Persol brought it

:39:15.:39:17.

back strongly to break 52 seconds. Right now it's Larkin in three but I

:39:18.:39:23.

tell you what, Ryan Murphy very strong, steel head, 25m to go. It's

:39:24.:39:28.

anybody's. The World Champion in three, Mitch Larkin, is starting to

:39:29.:39:32.

fade. It looks like it's Ryan Murphy. He's going well for the USA

:39:33.:39:36.

and in five it's Plummer. It's going to be close but I think the gold

:39:37.:39:40.

medal goes to Ryan Murphy of the USA. Yes, it does. Silver to Xu of

:39:41.:39:46.

China in lane two, that's fascinating and the bronze to

:39:47.:39:51.

Plummer of the USA and Australia - no gold feddals in the 100m

:39:52.:39:55.

backstroke, men or women. Larkin fourth.

:39:56.:39:58.

A great swim from murve murve. Very strong into the turn and then --

:39:59.:40:02.

Murphy, very strong into the turn and when he came out of the water,

:40:03.:40:05.

asserted himself. First Olympic Games. Brilliant. He came second in

:40:06.:40:12.

the trials. He was second American in. Very close to the world record.

:40:13.:40:24.

An Olympic record. He was 0.03 seconds away from

:40:25.:40:29.

Persol's world record. The 21-year-old from the University of

:40:30.:40:32.

California - look how powerful his thighs are. Look at that start. I

:40:33.:40:37.

love watching the start. He flicked his hips a little bit sideways.

:40:38.:40:40.

That's fascinating. His underwater is good but the burst to the

:40:41.:40:45.

surface, when he used that energy to go forwards, Larkin had great turn,

:40:46.:40:51.

better turn, but the best of the surface of Murphy was extraordinary.

:40:52.:40:55.

Clear win here. Larkin far left, getting a extra stroke N the

:40:56.:40:58.

Australians were expecting, given they had the world champions, men

:40:59.:41:02.

and women, coming into this, they expected the golds. And it's been

:41:03.:41:08.

Hungary and America. And David Plummer there, the 30-year-old,

:41:09.:41:11.

getting the bronze medal. So first and third, the Americans maintaining

:41:12.:41:16.

the tradition of a gold medal since '96. And one very happy Ryan Murphy,

:41:17.:41:22.

medley relay. They're going to get a great lead-off with him, aren't

:41:23.:41:27.

they? Well, fascinating and a very quick time. Nearly the world record.

:41:28.:41:31.

Ryan Murphy wins gold. A new Olympic record for him. Xu, massive silver

:41:32.:41:36.

medal for him. Plummer the bronze and Larkin fourth.

:41:37.:41:43.

What do you make of Ryan Murphy's time, then, guys? Wow! Unbelievable.

:41:44.:41:49.

I think Mark said it before the race - he thought they'd get close and to

:41:50.:41:53.

dip under 52 seconds is just crazy. You can see how happy he was and

:41:54.:41:57.

rightly so. It was bizarre because when he came out, he was probably

:41:58.:42:02.

the only one who looked a shrinking violet. He didn't look confident at

:42:03.:42:08.

all. Murphy swims in America, obviously, but he's in the

:42:09.:42:12.

collegiate system and he's won the NCAAs for the last two years and the

:42:13.:42:17.

NCAA collegiate system races are so strong and he smashed Persol's

:42:18.:42:20.

records in the States. He is obviously in form. Coming in here is

:42:21.:42:24.

another thing, coming in and doing it. Larkin was World Champion last

:42:25.:42:28.

year. He blew out. Lacourt, European champion, he's won the worlds, he

:42:29.:42:33.

blew out. So when you put in the pressure and the adrenaline, you've

:42:34.:42:36.

got to be able to do it and Americans tend to love that

:42:37.:42:41.

environment. A shame for Mitch Larkin and his girlfriend Emily

:42:42.:42:43.

Seebohm bombed out. Very good. Seebohm, bomb. Very good. Talking of

:42:44.:42:51.

cliches, let's ping-pong back to Jason to see how Paul Drinkhall is

:42:52.:42:53.

getting on. Very nicely done. Paul Drinkhall is

:42:54.:42:59.

in his last-16 match against Vladimir Samsonov of Belarus.

:43:00.:43:02.

Samsonov, number nine in the world, got off to a great start winning

:43:03.:43:05.

three games but Drinkhall saved seven match points to take the

:43:06.:43:08.

fourth game. We're going to show you what happened in the fifth game. We

:43:09.:43:12.

join it with Drinkhall five-three up.

:43:13.:43:19.

Samsonov is not diviling on the past. He's totally focused on the

:43:20.:43:25.

game. He's two points adrift with two serves to come.

:43:26.:43:59.

Very fluent backhand and forehand topspins from Samsonov. Still Paul

:44:00.:44:10.

Drinkhall leads 6-4. Two serves to come.

:44:11.:44:34.

He sent that through quite flat. In other words no topspin on the ball,

:44:35.:44:48.

forcing Drinkhall to left. That's a great return of serve

:44:49.:45:12.

there. He used the side spin that Samsonov imparted on the ball,

:45:13.:45:15.

flicked it out wide, see here it's got that side spin on. He uses the

:45:16.:45:20.

spin to angle it out wide to the forehand of Samsonov. Clever play by

:45:21.:45:23.

Paul Drinkhall. Two points against the service. Paul

:45:24.:45:40.

Drinkhall now with his two serves to come.

:45:41.:46:08.

He's quick on his feet. Strong forehand, topspin.

:46:09.:46:48.

Oh, the return of serve, topspin down the line. Three game points for

:46:49.:46:54.

Paul Drinkhall. Just sense now that he's beginning to get on top. He's

:46:55.:47:03.

dominating at the moment, no question about that. He takes the

:47:04.:47:19.

fifth game but it's Vladimir Samsonov who leads by three gims to

:47:20.:47:36.

two. We'll show you the conclusion of that match later. It's continuing

:47:37.:47:40.

on the red button if you want to watch that table tennis. Let's show

:47:41.:47:45.

you what's been happening in the men's singles. Kei Nishikori is

:47:46.:47:51.

through to the necked round, having seen off John Millman. So you're

:47:52.:47:55.

completely up to date. Let's take you back to Helen Skelton and

:47:56.:48:00.

another big swimming final on its way.

:48:01.:48:06.

You join us in the medal ceremony and it will be interesting to see

:48:07.:48:10.

how everyone reacts to Sun Yang. There's been controversy because

:48:11.:48:13.

he's served a drugs ban. He's a controversial character in the pool.

:48:14.:48:17.

Gets into a lot of scrapes. Andy, Adrian, let's see how people react

:48:18.:48:20.

to this one. Well, he's got applause. Some

:48:21.:48:36.

applause. Well, an interesting mixture. There's a chap below us

:48:37.:48:41.

booing loudly but Sun Yang, I have to say, paced it well. Kissing the

:48:42.:48:46.

medal. He very nearly won the 400m freestyle. I'm sure he'll win the

:48:47.:48:50.

1,500m but I'm not sure of that at all. That might be his only gold but

:48:51.:48:55.

it was a really well-paced swim and in the end, he won it by 55

:48:56.:49:03.

hundredths, which is not a small margin.

:49:04.:49:22.

CHINESE NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS the Olympic Champion in

:49:23.:50:09.

the men's 200m freestyle goes to Sun Yang. A gutsy silver medal to Chad

:50:10.:50:15.

Le Clos and it was a great bronze from Conor Dwyer from the USA. James

:50:16.:50:23.

Guy finishing in fourth position, just 0.16 seconds outside the

:50:24.:50:27.

medals. Interesting to see Chad Le Clos

:50:28.:50:31.

there. He was sort of stretching and fidgeting around. He's still got his

:50:32.:50:36.

goggles around his neck! I love it! He's got to get back in for the 200m

:50:37.:50:42.

butterfly. It makes me laugh. Take them off and put them in your

:50:43.:50:45.

pocket. Does that put him at a disadvantage? Yeah, of course. Not

:50:46.:50:50.

for that race, it didn't. He gave it his all. He went out and did his own

:50:51.:50:56.

race and it nearly paid off but for the 200m fly semis coming up, Phelps

:50:57.:51:03.

and the others are nice and fresh but to be honest, he's got enough in

:51:04.:51:07.

the bag and he's done that much hard work. But it will be hard going to

:51:08.:51:12.

get up and do four lengths of butterfly stroke, which is

:51:13.:51:19.

incredibly difficult anyway. It's getting loud around us because the

:51:20.:51:23.

bank of photographers, around about, I don't know, what, 200

:51:24.:51:27.

photographers, 300 photographers, all with lenses. You can see him

:51:28.:51:35.

giving his dad a little thumbs-up just behind the blocks. Of course

:51:36.:51:40.

cameras have lenses! No, their lenses are trained on the Olympian.

:51:41.:51:45.

That's Chad putting a little thumbs-up to his dad. Aw! Look at

:51:46.:51:53.

that! Conor Dwyer giving his mum a hug there. A classic American Hi-5

:51:54.:51:58.

to the Dwyer clan. Celebrating that medal. Huge congratulations. That's

:51:59.:52:05.

what we wanted Adam to do yesterday, wasn't it? The next final we have is

:52:06.:52:21.

the women's 100m and back in 2012, Ruta Meilutye did something very,

:52:22.:52:26.

very special. Ruta Meilutye, 15 years of age, her first major

:52:27.:52:30.

championship. Heavens above! She's miles ahead. She just made the

:52:31.:52:34.

defending Olympic Champion look distinctly ordinary. Go in the semi,

:52:35.:52:40.

get in the final, do that again and you might get a medal. A new

:52:41.:52:45.

European record for Ruta Meilutye and she's qualified fastest for the

:52:46.:52:50.

final. Meilutye is holing on in lane four. Lithuania have never won a

:52:51.:52:54.

medal in the swimming pool. It will be tight. It's Meilutye! It is! Gold

:52:55.:52:58.

medal to Ruta Meilutye of Lithuania and Plymouth, let me tell you. How

:52:59.:53:03.

special is this for you? It's too much for me. I can't believe it. I

:53:04.:53:13.

can't believe it. Olympic Champion, aged 15. Well done!

:53:14.:53:20.

That is sweet. A lot has happened in the last four years for Ruta

:53:21.:53:24.

Meilutye. She was the girl at the Olympic Games who kind of jumped on

:53:25.:53:28.

to the international scene. It was a surprise medal and everybody fell in

:53:29.:53:31.

love with her. We do like to claim her a little bit like she's one of

:53:32.:53:34.

our own. Rightly so. She trains with us in the UK. So it has been a bit

:53:35.:53:39.

up and down but obviously she's still Olympic Champion. No-one can

:53:40.:53:43.

take that away from her. I personally think she's been

:53:44.:53:45.

struggling in the last 25m throughout the heats and the

:53:46.:53:48.

semifinals we've seen so I think it will be really, really tough for her

:53:49.:53:51.

tonight. She's had a tough year. Let's talk to Sharon Davies now

:53:52.:53:56.

because, Sharon, you've talked to Ruta over the years. We saw you

:53:57.:54:00.

there in 2012 almost trying to convince her that she'd won the gold

:54:01.:54:04.

medal. She couldn't believe it, could she? I must admit I remember

:54:05.:54:08.

the interview. I did all the talking and she just stood there talking to

:54:09.:54:12.

-- looking at me. It was a lovely interview. All the emotion was in

:54:13.:54:16.

her face. We had three 15-year-olds that won gold medal and one of those

:54:17.:54:20.

was Katie Ledecky and they're both back in the pool. It will be a

:54:21.:54:30.

controversial race, this one, because we've got Efimovaa

:54:31.:54:32.

breaststroker, banned twice and now back in the water. Not a great night

:54:33.:54:38.

for drug-takers in the pool. I have to say I'm, I'm, quite staunch on

:54:39.:54:41.

these sorts of things. Poor old James was fourth and could have been

:54:42.:54:46.

third... Maybe. I feel like that's a discussion we will delve into more

:54:47.:54:50.

over the next few days and of course, Sharron, you are totally

:54:51.:54:54.

valid in that opinion. Let's talk about Ruta because she's a different

:54:55.:54:57.

young woman. She's dealt with a massive injury and she's got a

:54:58.:55:02.

steely character, hasn't she? Um, yeah, you've got to remember she had

:55:03.:55:06.

a really bad accident not long agoing and when you look carefully

:55:07.:55:10.

she's got a nasty scar on her elbow so she's had to work very hard but

:55:11.:55:16.

she's one of the only ladies I know who can do a one-armed chin. She's a

:55:17.:55:23.

Plymouthian and so am I and as you said, we'd love to see her win that

:55:24.:55:27.

medal. I think lots of people would. As you said, we kind of claim her

:55:28.:55:32.

because she trains in the UK. Thank you, Sharron. One-arm chins. I can't

:55:33.:55:37.

even do a two-arm chin. That's incredible. You can do that. I used

:55:38.:55:44.

to be able to do that. I went down and saw Ben there under John Rudd

:55:45.:55:48.

and their gym set-up - I can't remember the trainer's name so I'm

:55:49.:55:52.

sorry not to give you a plug - but it was wonderful set-up. The work

:55:53.:55:54.

they do and the intensity they work at is phenomenal. Remembering

:55:55.:55:58.

Olympic Champion at 15 years of age, that's something special in itself.

:55:59.:56:01.

I think from the injury, she's going to struggle to get back to where she

:56:02.:56:05.

was before. Her and Efimova have been like that for years. It will be

:56:06.:56:09.

about the two of them. And also Lilly. Lilly King. We're strong on

:56:10.:56:15.

this. I hope that Efimova doesn't win and that King or Ruta pulls one

:56:16.:56:20.

out of the bag for us. Just to set the record straight for everybody

:56:21.:56:23.

not up to speed on the Efimova story - and let's be honest, who is

:56:24.:56:27.

because she's been through a legal obstacle course to get herself into

:56:28.:56:31.

these Games. She served a drugs ban, came back, won a World Championship

:56:32.:56:35.

and then tested positive for a banned substance earlier this year.

:56:36.:56:39.

She appealed it while that substance is investigated. After lots of toing

:56:40.:56:43.

and froing and appealing to different bodies she's here and is

:56:44.:56:46.

going to race and it will be interesting to see how she goes in

:56:47.:56:51.

this one. There she is, looks slightly nervous. With Lilly King

:56:52.:56:58.

behind her. It will be interesting to see how people react to her.

:56:59.:57:02.

Andy, Adrian, I'd like your opinion on this one. Adrian you were part of

:57:03.:57:07.

the athletes' commission to convinced. BOA to put a lifetime ban

:57:08.:57:14.

on athletes that served a drugs ban. That's been overturned but I know

:57:15.:57:19.

you have strong reactions to this. It's the IOC's party and they wimped

:57:20.:57:23.

out. If you have a ban, you shouldn't ever be in the Olympic

:57:24.:57:28.

Games. It's nice to see Lilly King giving the daggers looks there.

:57:29.:57:30.

Fantastic. So here in lane one is Luthersdottir

:57:31.:57:46.

from Iceland in the women's 100m breaststroke and Alia Atkinson,

:57:47.:57:49.

wouldn't it be great to see her on the podium? She's the world

:57:50.:57:53.

shortcourse champion. She's wick down the first 50m. Silver medallist

:57:54.:57:57.

in the World Championships on the 50m. And here, Katie Meili, her

:57:58.:58:03.

first finals. She could win. She certainly could, fourth fastest in

:58:04.:58:13.

the world this year. Now, Ruta Meilutye of Plymouth and Lithuania

:58:14.:58:16.

has a chance of becoming the first swimmer in history to defend an

:58:17.:58:20.

Olympic title as a teenager. Wouldn't that be something, Ade? It

:58:21.:58:25.

would be brilliant. She has really done such a lot for Lithuania. It's

:58:26.:58:30.

interesting that she comes back to Plymouth, she says, for a quiet

:58:31.:58:36.

time. She's a real hero in Lithuania and feels a responsibility for

:58:37.:58:39.

stepping up but I think it might be too far here. Let's listen to this

:58:40.:58:44.

ovation. BOOING

:58:45.:58:56.

It's not all of her making, this situation, the IOC and FINA have a

:58:57.:58:59.

lot to answer for. CHEERING

:59:00.:59:03.

Here is the fastest qualifying -- qualifier for this the final, Lilly

:59:04.:59:08.

King, and she was standing behind Efimova and if looks could kill!

:59:09.:59:13.

Goodness me! She looks confident. I think she feels like the whole world

:59:14.:59:17.

wants her to win and she's soaking it up. For a 19-year-old to come out

:59:18.:59:22.

in her first major championships to come out like that, that's

:59:23.:59:28.

impressive. Four, five and six is going to be but I think you called

:59:29.:59:33.

Miley in lane two. There's Ruta. She struggled in the semifinal in the

:59:34.:59:37.

last ten metres, unusually so. Tense. Goodness me. Focus,

:59:38.:59:41.

definitely. I expect Ruta to be out quickly and

:59:42.:59:47.

I expect Efimova to come back very fast indeed. Atkinson will be out

:59:48.:59:52.

quick too. Six and seven expect to be out quick. The pink suit is

:59:53.:59:56.

Efimova. The black suit on the left is Lilly King of the USA, the

:59:57.:00:01.

fastest qualifier. So king king in four, Efimova in five in the pink

:00:02.:00:05.

suit. Ruta Meilutye in six. King in four, Efimova in five in the pink

:00:06.:00:10.

suit. Ruta Meilutye in six. The final of the women's 100m

:00:11.:00:11.

breaststroke. Well, Ruta had a quick reaction to

:00:12.:00:20.

the gun and a good start and first up is Ruta Meilutye. Also a very

:00:21.:00:23.

good start from Lilly King in lane four. So it's four and six, King and

:00:24.:00:30.

Meilutye. Well, absolutely, Andy. Great start from Meilutye. Lane four

:00:31.:00:33.

swimming traditionally behind the rest of the field. Comes through

:00:34.:00:38.

towards the end, though. In lane two, Miley, keep an eye out for her

:00:39.:00:44.

-- Meili, keep an eye out for her in world record-place. Watch out for

:00:45.:00:48.

lane five, though, sorry, lane five coming back very strongly.

:00:49.:00:51.

Traditionally, beautiful tec theeck in lane five, I have to say. Well,

:00:52.:00:55.

at the moment, it is Lilly King in four and Meili in two. USA and USA

:00:56.:01:01.

but here comes Efimova in that pink suit of Russia. At the moment,

:01:02.:01:05.

though, still, it's Lilly King. Lilly King fastest in the world this

:01:06.:01:09.

year. And she's still holding on but coming back very fast is Efimova.

:01:10.:01:13.

Efimova is traditionally quick inside the last 15m. Still holding

:01:14.:01:16.

on is Lilly King. Lilly King's going to win it, I think. Lilly King gets

:01:17.:01:22.

the gold! Oh, that fantastic! Oh, what a fabulous swim! Oh, so gutsy!

:01:23.:01:27.

She came out almost with boxing gloves on! She was looking daggers

:01:28.:01:30.

at Efimova and she's just done it! She's won the gold on the 100m

:01:31.:01:36.

breaststroke, a new Olympic record, the time 10493 and she won it by

:01:37.:01:43.

over half a second -- 1:04.93 and she won it by over half a second.

:01:44.:01:46.

Silver to Efimova and bronze to Meili of the USA. Wow, she was not

:01:47.:01:52.

going to lose that. At 80m, I thought lane five was going to come

:01:53.:01:56.

through but King just dug in and I think she was propelled by something

:01:57.:02:02.

special there, you know. The 19-year-old, getting under 65

:02:03.:02:07.

seconds. For the first time. Well, what a future she's got ahead of

:02:08.:02:13.

her. Gold medal, first Olympics. And Meili, the second American with that

:02:14.:02:17.

bronze medal. Here's a start. Great reactions in lane four. Hans off

:02:18.:02:22.

first, you can see a clear, clear advantage getting in the water

:02:23.:02:25.

first. Slightly off centre. The track starts... Is... Well, it's a

:02:26.:02:32.

goods old start but it doesn't make you wonky if you're not careful.

:02:33.:02:36.

Lane two, Meili, ended up in first and second and round the wall, you

:02:37.:02:40.

can see that one big fly kick. In fact, King didn't much of a fly kick

:02:41.:02:45.

at all. She can really work on that. And Efimova did too. Well, that is

:02:46.:02:50.

quite special. You've got to say the starts and the turns of the

:02:51.:02:53.

Americans are outstanding but how she held on in that last 15m, I

:02:54.:02:57.

thought Efimova was charging. Look at that. She came out with a boxing

:02:58.:03:03.

gloves on. -- her blocking gloves on. She was looking daggers and

:03:04.:03:08.

there the embrace of gold and bronze, King and Me, li of the --

:03:09.:03:15.

Meili of the USA. Super smiles, Ade. It's brilliant. I think King feels

:03:16.:03:19.

vindicated for the position she has very strongly held. A fantastic gold

:03:20.:03:30.

medal. So the result of the women's 100m breaststroke, delighted with

:03:31.:03:38.

it: Ruta Meilutye faded in the end, down in seventh.

:03:39.:03:45.

Well, another teenage Olympic Champion in this event, Ruta

:03:46.:03:49.

Meilutye sadly down in seventh but what a good night for the Americans!

:03:50.:03:56.

Thank gosh that happened. I think we're all very pleased with that

:03:57.:04:00.

result. A fantastic swim. Efimova comes back to strong but Lilly was

:04:01.:04:05.

not giving it to her. Credit to Lilly King - a lot of discussion

:04:06.:04:08.

around Efimova, around the drugs ban, would she be here? Wouldn't she

:04:09.:04:14.

be here? The start list was only changed at the weekend. But I think

:04:15.:04:19.

aide hit it on the head when he said Lilly King had her boxing gloves on.

:04:20.:04:23.

In the last 25m, whatever your inspiration or motivation is, she'd

:04:24.:04:27.

been so strongly outspoken, the bottom line was she wasn't going to

:04:28.:04:30.

give in at the end and she fought for every inches. She won it by half

:04:31.:04:34.

a second and I think that was the best swim of the week so far as far

:04:35.:04:39.

as the audience are concerned. But, um, I feel for Ruta. I wish she

:04:40.:04:43.

could have been in the fight at the same time but Efimova will feel

:04:44.:04:47.

that. When she came out here, that was loud. That was very loud. I feel

:04:48.:04:53.

for her but the bottom line is the world governing body needs to take a

:04:54.:04:57.

stance that if you cheat, you're a lifetime ban and then she wunt be

:04:58.:05:01.

here. That was that. Still plenty to come forward to. Michael Phelps,

:05:02.:05:06.

Chad Le Clos back in the pile and Hannah Miley and Siobhan-Marie

:05:07.:05:09.

O'Connor but it's time now to check in on Paul Drinkhall.

:05:10.:05:12.

Helen, thank you very much indeed. What a great swim from Lilly King.

:05:13.:05:17.

As Helen says, let's get up to date with the table tennis. We've been

:05:18.:05:21.

following Team GB's Paul Drinkhall taking on the world number nine

:05:22.:05:24.

Vladimir Samsonov of Belarus. We left it with Drinkhall winning the

:05:25.:05:30.

fifth game so it's 3-2. We join the action with Drinkhall leading 7-5.

:05:31.:05:42.

Samsonov led 5-2. Five consecutive points for Paul Drinkhall. He's now

:05:43.:05:59.

got his two serves to come. Samsonov did well, moving the ball

:06:00.:06:02.

around the table. That bounced a little bit too high.

:06:03.:06:24.

A very brave save to do by Drinkhall.

:06:25.:06:31.

Seven points each. Samsonov with his two serves.

:06:32.:06:47.

What wonderful short touch play by Samsonov.

:06:48.:06:51.

Kept the ball tight over the net. Soft hands required to do that.

:06:52.:06:56.

Delicate touch. And then all of a sudden he can explode with power.

:06:57.:07:07.

That's a great forehand topspin down the line.

:07:08.:07:12.

Paul Drinkhall at full stretch there. Couldn't quite get his bat on

:07:13.:07:17.

the ball sufficiently well to control it.

:07:18.:07:24.

A good run of points now by the number seven seed.

:07:25.:07:36.

Drinkhall probably needs both these points and that's another three

:07:37.:07:40.

match points. Vladimir Samsonov has had seven

:07:41.:07:41.

already. A good backhand topspin down the

:07:42.:08:15.

line. Eight match points saved. Two more remain here. Can Paul Drinkhall

:08:16.:08:21.

save ten match points? The umpire asking the players to

:08:22.:08:25.

keep play going. Oh, he's just overhit the forehand

:08:26.:08:55.

flick and Samsonov takes the sixth game 11-le and he wins this

:08:56.:09:01.

fourth-round match by four games to two, 11-8. It took him nine match

:09:02.:09:06.

points to do it. You can see the relief on his face. What a great

:09:07.:09:11.

performance, though, by Paul Drinkhall, but full marks to the

:09:12.:09:19.

Belorussian player, Vladimir Samsonov, held his nerve, and he's

:09:20.:09:22.

through to the quarterfinal. Well done, Vladimir Samsonov.

:09:23.:09:30.

Paul, that was some fight there. But the comeback, you just couldn't

:09:31.:09:34.

quite pull it off? Yeah, no, he's a great player. I managed to somehow

:09:35.:09:38.

sneak the fourth set there and started to find my game. I think I

:09:39.:09:41.

was playing well in the first three and a couple of points here or there

:09:42.:09:47.

could have changed from 3-0 to him to 2-1 or even 2-1 to me. But, yeah,

:09:48.:09:51.

he's a great player and he managed to change it round in the end. You

:09:52.:09:56.

saved seven match points in the fourth game before you pulled the

:09:57.:10:00.

game back yourself. Does that show how much you wanted to be the first

:10:01.:10:03.

Brit in a quarterfinal. Yeah, it just shows... I mean, I believe in

:10:04.:10:07.

myself. I want to win and I'm sure if it was the other way round, he

:10:08.:10:11.

would have tried to save them match points as well. I managed to play

:10:12.:10:16.

well in them points and after winning the fourth set, I found my

:10:17.:10:21.

timing and got on top but I let it slip a little bit in the last set.

:10:22.:10:24.

Again, I don't think I did anything wrong. I missed a few balls here and

:10:25.:10:30.

there but he's a great player and it was very good match.

:10:31.:10:35.

Paul Drinkhall talking to David McDaid and Samsonov is one of the

:10:36.:10:38.

best players in the world but fair play to Paul Drinkhall. He hung in

:10:39.:10:42.

there. Not the end of his Rio Olympics because he's in the team

:10:43.:10:45.

event, which starts on Saturday, along is the Sam Walker and Liam

:10:46.:10:50.

Pitchford. We wish Paul Drinkhall all the best. We'll pop to Helen

:10:51.:10:54.

shortly but let's go around the Olympics and show you what's

:10:55.:10:57.

available this evening. If you want beach volleyball, still going on in

:10:58.:11:03.

the magnificent arena, it's Australia against Venezuela on the

:11:04.:11:06.

red button. If you fancy a bit of volleyball -

:11:07.:11:15.

it's very noisy inside the arena tonight because the hosts are

:11:16.:11:17.

playing this evening. Great venue. And also it's China

:11:18.:11:31.

against France in the basketball. That's available on the BBC Sport

:11:32.:11:35.

website and the BBC Sport app. But now here on BBC One, let's go back

:11:36.:11:41.

live to the Olympic aquatic stadium and Helen Skelton.

:11:42.:11:46.

You join as the music surrounding us is for Katinka Hosszu, picking up

:11:47.:11:49.

her second gold of the Olympics and she's doing her lap of honour behind

:11:50.:11:54.

us. Well done to Hungarian viewers. Stay up late and have a celebratory

:11:55.:11:58.

espresso. We, however, are poised for the next chapter in the great

:11:59.:12:01.

rivalry between Chad Le Clos and Michael Phelps. Here's what you need

:12:02.:12:04.

to know. Listen to this.

:12:05.:12:09.

He's got 14 gold medals and two bronzes coming into this meet.

:12:10.:12:14.

Chad Le Clos has got a chance, Commonwealth champion. He looks

:12:15.:12:21.

good. Off to a very clean start, Chad Le

:12:22.:12:26.

Clos off very quickly with that green hat of South Africa and fep

:12:27.:12:30.

fep fep, first to turn, Adrian -- Michael Phelps first to turn,

:12:31.:12:34.

Adrian. Phelps usually dominates a bit more. If Le Clos can feel on his

:12:35.:12:38.

shoulder that Phelps is local down a bit, he'll go for it. Well, Michael

:12:39.:12:42.

Phelps turning first at the 100m but didn't quite spot the turn as well

:12:43.:12:45.

as he normally does. He's looking tired. 50m to go. Still first to

:12:46.:12:49.

turn. If anybody can tough this out,

:12:50.:12:55.

Michael Phelps can. Will he create history by winning this race for the

:12:56.:13:00.

third time in a row? Chad Le Clos is pushing him. He did not get it! Oh,

:13:01.:13:05.

my goodness me, Chad Le Clos won gold, silver to Michael Phelps. Look

:13:06.:13:09.

what that means! You've just beaten the greatest

:13:10.:13:19.

swimmer ever in history. I really can't. I really can't believe it.

:13:20.:13:27.

Michael is my hero. I never, ever get tired of watching that moment

:13:28.:13:32.

because it's #unbelievable. Chad's family have it all emblazoned across

:13:33.:13:35.

their T shirts. This is one of the great contests. It's great to watch.

:13:36.:13:42.

It's great to see it play out. Talk us through Michael Phelps last

:13:43.:13:47.

night. What you saw on his face was the emotion that he's missed this.

:13:48.:13:52.

He gave up for a couple of years but came back.

:13:53.:13:57.

I know it's a team event but when he gives up, it's all gone. And I think

:13:58.:14:01.

he wanted a little bit more of this stuff. Here he go. Picking up his

:14:02.:14:06.

19th gold medal last night and he's a couple of years away. He's had a

:14:07.:14:13.

lot going on outside of the pool. Went into rehab. He's spoken

:14:14.:14:19.

publicly about how he's in a great place. Beccy has met baby Boomer.

:14:20.:14:24.

He's so cute! He's fast asleep though. He won't be in a minute.

:14:25.:14:29.

Michael Phelps seems to be, in terms of his headspace, in a good place.

:14:30.:14:33.

No-one even asked him what he was hoping to do this week because

:14:34.:14:36.

there's so much to ask him about the occasion. What's he capable of? I

:14:37.:14:40.

think tonight is making it through to the final. I think he'll hold a

:14:41.:14:44.

little something back. The main one is the final. Tonight is just a

:14:45.:14:46.

process to get there. And we've seen Chad in the pool

:14:47.:14:52.

already tonight so that one is going to be a tougher swim for Chad. He's

:14:53.:14:57.

going to feel the lactic burn, especially down the 50m and don't

:14:58.:15:02.

forget Laszlo Czeh, who has had a fantastic year, the only guy in the

:15:03.:15:06.

world devastated when Michael Phelps came back. He swam a great time at

:15:07.:15:10.

the European Championships a few months ago. We know he's on form.

:15:11.:15:14.

This is just about a process and getting through, but I think we want

:15:15.:15:18.

Laszlo Czeh to make more of a statement in the first semifinal. He

:15:19.:15:21.

goes in the first semifinal but Le Clos and Phelps are in the second

:15:22.:15:26.

semifinal. It's been a bit of trash-talking from their coaches,

:15:27.:15:26.

you know? Phelps's coach is saying Michael's

:15:27.:15:35.

turns are better than before. What about the mind games? Chad - that

:15:36.:15:40.

was wonderful when you saw that clip when he said, "He's my hero." He's

:15:41.:15:45.

the person he's always looked up to and he beat him four years ago. Chad

:15:46.:15:50.

is one of these people who will front people up, not aggressively

:15:51.:15:53.

but every time he's been on the massage bed backstage and warming

:15:54.:15:56.

up, he's eyeing the Americans up and trying to sort of, you know, saying

:15:57.:16:00.

I'm not scared of you and you can see in the 200m free the way he went

:16:01.:16:04.

out he's not scared of hurting himself. The difficult thing for him

:16:05.:16:08.

tonight will be to get through these semis because he's going to be

:16:09.:16:13.

tired. But Laszlo is a dark horse here I think. He had a quick time.

:16:14.:16:17.

If he's on form, when these come together in the final, they're side

:16:18.:16:21.

by side, Chad is a little bit tired tonight ends up on the outside, it's

:16:22.:16:24.

going to be fascinating. different for the nation because

:16:25.:16:39.

he's got the expectations of the nation on his back. Going to

:16:40.:16:44.

Beijing, it was Rebecca Adlington. Going to London - you only got a

:16:45.:16:52.

bronze. Back off! Sorry. Hold off! But there is the expectation, you

:16:53.:17:01.

know. It is a different thing. From being not just nobody there. You go

:17:02.:17:08.

from being the hunter to the00ed. Yes, and what we've seen Chad do in

:17:09.:17:12.

the 200 metres and the freestyle. For both of them, tonight is making

:17:13.:17:16.

it through. I didn't personally think that Phelps looked amazing and

:17:17.:17:20.

really smooth this morning but you can hear the crowd now. I wonder

:17:21.:17:26.

where he's gone! They're loud and they're proud and rightly so. But

:17:27.:17:32.

you guys, hug it out. Don't worry, it's very friendly. Let's get stuck

:17:33.:17:36.

into one of the greatest contests in Olympic swimming.

:17:37.:17:41.

Thank you, there is Zheng of Singapore. Did really well to make

:17:42.:17:49.

this semifinal. Now, Daya Seto of Japan. He was your favourite. An

:17:50.:17:52.

outside chance of a medal here. Not tonight. But interestingly, I saw a

:17:53.:18:00.

picture of Seto as a child with Michael Phelps. Phelps was his hero.

:18:01.:18:06.

And I think that Mark is right on Laszlo Cseh. Not so much the dark

:18:07.:18:10.

horse being the fastest in the world coming in. He was easing off in the

:18:11.:18:13.

heat there. So they won't show everything tonight. We'll see Aceh

:18:14.:18:24.

in lane four. There he is. There is Laszlo Cseh. I wrongly nicknamed him

:18:25.:18:31.

the Alien. I thought that I read something that called him the alien

:18:32.:18:35.

but it wasn't correct. But when you see the green goggles and he comes

:18:36.:18:39.

out. Look! He does... There's a little bit... Can you see where I'm

:18:40.:18:42.

going? I can see exactly where you're going. It's very scary. But

:18:43.:18:45.

his mum thinks he's beautiful. And I do too! Grant Irvine, the second

:18:46.:18:53.

fastest seed in this first semifinal of the men's 200 m fly. So you've

:18:54.:19:03.

got Japan in 3 and 6. The third and fourth fastest qualifiers. Australia

:19:04.:19:12.

in five. But Laszlo Cseh of Hungary, the European champion, the World

:19:13.:19:17.

Champion. Still not won Olympic gold. There's a bra zimian in lane

:19:18.:19:23.

7. That's what the noise is about. There's Laszlo Cseh. A good looking

:19:24.:19:35.

chap, eh! Hole, digging out of! He has a great chance. Has to get

:19:36.:19:39.

through this. Interestingly, you shave your head but leave the goggle

:19:40.:19:45.

sticky outy bit there is. If you're going to get streamlined by shaving

:19:46.:19:49.

your head off and then leave that speed bump on the back of your head.

:19:50.:19:59.

Well, I don't know if you can hear the Brazilian commentators next to

:20:00.:20:05.

us but they're almost shouting all the way through the "take your

:20:06.:20:11.

marks" off that men's 200 metres butterfly. Laszlo Cseh in the centre

:20:12.:20:16.

in the bald head. Going well is Li of China. Great first length for

:20:17.:20:21.

Aceh. He's strong and almost throws the arms over. Slapping the water at

:20:22.:20:27.

the front. Very effective. Around first, only by 100 of a second. From

:20:28.:20:34.

Li in Lane 8. This is going to be interesting. He's going to set a

:20:35.:20:38.

time. He's going to post a time here that will cause the second semi to

:20:39.:20:43.

have a bit of a think. Almost gliding there. His leg kick is very

:20:44.:20:47.

interesting, isn't it? Like very flat with the legs at the back end.

:20:48.:20:51.

Not using the hips much at all. It's really bizarre because he doesn't

:20:52.:20:54.

have a really big second quick at all. He kicks when the arms go in.

:20:55.:20:59.

And woah, first to turn is in 7. Listen to the crowd. Marcio, the

:21:00.:21:05.

31-year-old Brazilian and the Brazilians have gone nuts here. But

:21:06.:21:08.

he does have a very streang stroke in the centre. Completely straight

:21:09.:21:12.

arms over the top and a kick in the wrong place for me. And also going

:21:13.:21:20.

well is Saiki from Japan in 3. Seito of Japan also coming through

:21:21.:21:24.

strongly. So what you've got is the two Japanese in the black caps

:21:25.:21:28.

separated by Laszlo Cseh in the middle. Having a quick little look

:21:29.:21:33.

but held the glide longer than the rest and that worked to his

:21:34.:21:38.

advantage. Now edging forward with this Saikai, the 21-year-old in lane

:21:39.:21:44.

3 but Saito coming back strongly. Saito does look good and the 400

:21:45.:21:49.

metre individual bronze medallist. But now Laszlo Cseh, starting to

:21:50.:21:54.

move through but Saikai may well get the touch. No, Cseh gets it. Another

:21:55.:22:00.

comfortable swim for him. None of the big fly swimmers are very good

:22:01.:22:03.

at swimming medium fast pace. They're not comfortable at all and I

:22:04.:22:07.

think that that is yet another uncomfortable, comfortable swim. I

:22:08.:22:11.

get what you mean. It's really interesting because you're right,

:22:12.:22:15.

when they do a 1.55, they look like they're struggling a little bit. But

:22:16.:22:21.

Cseh can swim a good couple of seconds faster than this. Just

:22:22.:22:26.

holding something back. But it does look belaboured, really, really

:22:27.:22:30.

difficult to hold back. Very effective with his kick, though, but

:22:31.:22:35.

very, very unusual. Arms and the hands almost touching a the front.

:22:36.:22:37.

Very good flexibility to get the hands touching there at the front.

:22:38.:22:41.

Not wasting any of the pull by being too wide out of the side. Very

:22:42.:22:50.

important to get to the front. Seito with a strong second place but I

:22:51.:22:53.

don't think that they're showing their cards yet, are they? I tell

:22:54.:22:58.

you what, I hope not. Because the fates, you can read faces. The face

:22:59.:23:03.

of Laszlo Cseh looked a little bit look... Not seeing too much

:23:04.:23:08.

happiness there, are you? I've never seen too much happiness there. Look,

:23:09.:23:14.

still puffing! Well, takes a bit of breath. I suppose, he's yus done the

:23:15.:23:20.

200 metre fly. Laszlo Cseh wins it. Japan second and third.

:23:21.:23:26.

Laszlo Cseh, World Champion and European champion in this. Can he

:23:27.:23:34.

spoil the Phelps and Le Clos party? I think so. He's a full two seconds

:23:35.:23:38.

ago off what he did three months ago, so to me, I think that that was

:23:39.:23:42.

a little bit risky because you don't know what's going to happen in the

:23:43.:23:46.

second semifinal. Blowing a bit at the bottom but the 200 metre final

:23:47.:23:49.

is always hard. There's Michael Phelps. What do you make of that

:23:50.:23:53.

behaviour The interesting thing with him is that he always has the

:23:54.:23:59.

headphones on. Not many the other competitors have it there. Look at

:24:00.:24:06.

Chad staring at him there! Rumour on the pool deck is that he's been

:24:07.:24:10.

staring him out. But Phelps wouldn't look at him. That's what you used to

:24:11.:24:14.

do, psych people out? In the corner, it's the last chance to put your

:24:15.:24:18.

competitors off because when you come here, you can swim along and

:24:19.:24:22.

drag each other backwards but that doesn't happen. That would be a

:24:23.:24:25.

different form of swimming but the last opportunity to get. So I used

:24:26.:24:31.

to do press-ups. When I got nervous, I got chatty and I thought - we used

:24:32.:24:35.

to race for them and just shut up. But it was just part of my

:24:36.:24:40.

preparation. Oh, that explains it, you chat when you get nervous! Let's

:24:41.:24:46.

see how the crowd are reacting to Michael Phelps. Because he's almost

:24:47.:24:51.

as popular as the Brazilian! Thank you, I have to say that we

:24:52.:24:56.

were both in a relay with Mark Foster and some of us like to be

:24:57.:24:58.

quiet and when he would come and chat to me, I would say - go and

:24:59.:25:02.

stand in the corner and chat to the Germans or somebody. What about you?

:25:03.:25:07.

Were you quiet or noisy? I used to sit next to you and send Mark Foster

:25:08.:25:13.

and Phibbins over there and do a cracking job of annoying them. He's

:25:14.:25:17.

changed a lot now. Which p one? Love him to bits. Talks too much! No! No,

:25:18.:25:26.

he doesn't. No he doesn't. Here we go, the great Michael Phelps

:25:27.:25:31.

walking out in lane 3. Well, he looks focused, doesn't he?

:25:32.:25:36.

He really does look focused. The cool, calm, quiet collected swagger

:25:37.:25:41.

of a 19-times Olympic gold medal Is. 23 Olympic medals.

:25:42.:25:52.

And here, Chad Guy Bertrand Le Clos. But he's a great defending Olympic

:25:53.:25:58.

champion on the 200 metres butterfly and a fascinating sandwich there is

:25:59.:26:04.

Tamas Kenderesi, the 19-year-old Hungarian. The fastest qualifier

:26:05.:26:07.

after the Heats. And what a lane assignment for him. He did well in

:26:08.:26:12.

the heat there. He really impressed. The only man under 1.55. Fifth

:26:13.:26:16.

fastest time in the world this year. Put him in the centre. And Michael

:26:17.:26:22.

Phelps there. Looking focused, as you said. He knows that he has a job

:26:23.:26:27.

to do. He's got to qualify. He'll be looking to get under 1.55. There

:26:28.:26:35.

will be no playing around. I tell you what, the nerves of Kenderesi.

:26:36.:26:38.

Chad is having a look around and checking out Michael. He's over

:26:39.:26:41.

there! Yeah, two away. Michael will not look at him.

:26:42.:26:46.

Chad is having a chat? Yeah, looking over at Bromer. Because they're both

:26:47.:26:50.

facing each other. Obviously Chad likes to look to his breft and

:26:51.:26:55.

Bromer to the right. And staring at each other there. And Mike am looks

:26:56.:26:59.

down the lane. He's looking at his feet and where he's going to place

:27:00.:27:09.

his feet on the block. Second semifinal of the men's 200m fly. Two

:27:10.:27:14.

big men in 3 and 5. Michael Phelps and Chad Le Clos.

:27:15.:27:21.

Well, you had the Brazilian commentary through the start again

:27:22.:27:26.

of this, the second semifinal of the men's 200 fly. Right next to us and

:27:27.:27:29.

they're very loud. What a great start. I think having starting turns

:27:30.:27:33.

competitions with Michael Phelps and Chad Le Clos and I think that that

:27:34.:27:37.

was pretty even. Equal first by quite a long way. Absolutely, we saw

:27:38.:27:40.

Chad do that in the freestyle. He held back on that one. He's got to

:27:41.:27:44.

be careful going underwater too much. It's a real strength of his

:27:45.:27:48.

but getting too much of the oxygen burned is not going to be helpful.

:27:49.:27:53.

Phelps very strong, very nice first 25 there. Listen to Bob Bowman

:27:54.:28:00.

talking about Michael Phelps's relay where he had a fantastic 47.1 and

:28:01.:28:04.

said that the turn was the best turn he's ever seen in his life. From his

:28:05.:28:11.

coach, phenomenal. The 100 metre mark here. Kenderesi doing very well

:28:12.:28:15.

there in lane 4. The promise that he showed in the heats is repeating.

:28:16.:28:19.

Not being phased by Michael Phelps. In fact, I remember Steven Parry not

:28:20.:28:23.

being phased by Michael Phelps in Athens and taking him on in the

:28:24.:28:29.

semifinals. Chad Le Clos just had a little look around and Michael

:28:30.:28:32.

Phelps has got now to work pretty hard down the first 100. He's

:28:33.:28:36.

swimming away from Chad. Chad has to be a little bit careful here. He's

:28:37.:28:39.

looked around again. He's seen that he's a little bit far behind and

:28:40.:28:43.

he's starting to move. Phelps going into this final turn with about,

:28:44.:28:48.

what, a second, a second maybe or 0.64 but it looks comfortable from

:28:49.:28:53.

Phelps. A long underwater from Chad Le Clos and Kenderesi coming back

:28:54.:28:56.

like he did in the heats. Chad Le Clos is a classy swimmer. This is

:28:57.:29:00.

not an easy race for him. The pain will be significant. He's in third

:29:01.:29:04.

place at the moment. Looking over to see whether the top three is

:29:05.:29:07.

Kenderesi and impressing me. Very strong at the end and taking Phelps

:29:08.:29:10.

on in the last five. He did this this horning, he's going to win it!

:29:11.:29:20.

Oh! Quiet in the crowd. The crowd has just gone eooh! It has, it has.

:29:21.:29:28.

Goodness me. 1.53.9 from Kenderesi as well. Woah. He looks pretty

:29:29.:29:34.

confident as well. Thumbs up! That is massive. It's only the semi but

:29:35.:29:40.

Phelps was going for that one. Phelps did not swim a great American

:29:41.:29:43.

trials on that. Look at his face. Didn't swim a great trials on the

:29:44.:29:47.

200 metre fly. It was the weaker event and I think that he was quite

:29:48.:29:50.

concerned about it. Not quite what he wanted to do. He said that he

:29:51.:29:53.

wanted to come back and do something a little better and I think that he

:29:54.:29:56.

worked that hard? He did. But what we do know about Michael Phelps is

:29:57.:30:00.

that he never gives in. He's a strong, strong fighter and when he's

:30:01.:30:05.

in a race, he finds something extra. And Kenderesi is going to, as a

:30:06.:30:09.

rookie, if you like, trying to take on Phelps. They're all at it. Every

:30:10.:30:13.

time that Phelps gets in the Olympics, somebody has a go at him.

:30:14.:30:19.

Right now, in this particular race, Kenderesi stronger at the back. But

:30:20.:30:23.

Michael Phelps will have something else, I think, tomorrow. Le Clos

:30:24.:30:28.

doing enough I believe. To make it in. This was a fast semifinal. This

:30:29.:30:34.

was the faster of the semifinals and two Hungarians in the top three. So

:30:35.:30:40.

the result of that second semifinal and a bit of a shock, Kenderesi

:30:41.:30:44.

winning it for Hungary. Phelps second. Le Clos third. And the

:30:45.:30:51.

Brazilian that everyone was making such a huge amount of noise for next

:30:52.:30:56.

to us in seventh. Well, that's going to create a fascinating final. It

:30:57.:30:59.

really will because if you look at the qualifiers, Kenderesi goes in

:31:00.:31:02.

fastest. Phelps is second fastest and Chad Le Clos fourth fastest. So

:31:03.:31:06.

that means that in the final, Phelps will be in 5. Chad Le Clos in 6.

:31:07.:31:08.

Game on! Don't let us stop you. You guys were

:31:09.:31:18.

dancing and enjoying the tunes there. So were you Helen Skelton.

:31:19.:31:22.

There's the Olympic Games here in Brazil. And 3:30 in the morning back

:31:23.:31:28.

home! Not here. Chad Le Clos and Michael Phelps. Ding, ding. The most

:31:29.:31:32.

fascinating contest in the Olympics but it's not just going to be their

:31:33.:31:35.

party. Having seen the two semifinals. Who else in the mix?

:31:36.:31:40.

Kenderesi threw himself in there and I guarantee that he has a poster of

:31:41.:31:44.

Laszlo Cseh on his wall, because they're both from Hungary. I don't

:31:45.:31:48.

mean that in a weird way. And he's 11 years younger than him. So he's

:31:49.:31:51.

probably chasing his God, if you like. You've got those two side by

:31:52.:31:56.

side in 3 and 4 and then Phelps and Chad in five and six that's what

:31:57.:31:59.

happened in the Olympic Games and those two side by side and it will

:32:00.:32:04.

be a hum danger. Any of those four but Chad with a little bit more

:32:05.:32:07.

rest... Swimming the 200 free before the 200 fly is hard work. It's rays

:32:08.:32:12.

like this that make swimming so entertaining to non-swimming fans,

:32:13.:32:15.

because there's so much going on out of the water. Just cast your mind

:32:16.:32:19.

back to the call room. The mind games going on and the show boating

:32:20.:32:22.

going on. Chad is an entertaining guy to watch before he even gets in

:32:23.:32:27.

the pool. Even the families are the total opposite. They're cheering and

:32:28.:32:32.

yelling. Phelps' clan - cool as cucumbers. Just like, yeah, come on.

:32:33.:32:38.

Making sure that Boomer is asleep. The thing is though, if you're in

:32:39.:32:42.

Team Phelps, he's in there so often. He's got so many gold medals that

:32:43.:32:46.

you're probably just like - well, whatever happens, does it really

:32:47.:32:48.

matter? I think that the interesting thing tore him is that when you look

:32:49.:32:51.

at the last Olympic Games, he was ahead and he got caught by Chad.

:32:52.:32:56.

That race then, he was ahead and he got caught by Kenderesi. So the

:32:57.:33:00.

thing is - his plan is to go out and hold on and the others are all going

:33:01.:33:04.

to come back on him. That's what is going to happen tomorrow evening and

:33:05.:33:08.

that's how it will play out unless he changes tactic. They swim very

:33:09.:33:13.

different races, don't they? Laszlo, you're fascinated by the way and the

:33:14.:33:16.

height there. It is long and a long range stroke. A lot of people say

:33:17.:33:20.

that he comes up too high but he kind of dives forward with the

:33:21.:33:23.

stroke and others are flatter on the surface of the water. One is not

:33:24.:33:27.

right and one is not wrong but different styles. We always

:33:28.:33:30.

maintain, it doesn't matter what you look like on the surface but what

:33:31.:33:33.

you're doing underneath the water there. Why doesn't he wear a hat? So

:33:34.:33:41.

much emphasis is made on the tiny bits of facial hair and what it is

:33:42.:33:45.

there? He's never worn a hat. And that's just like saying that someone

:33:46.:33:48.

likes to wear headphones and listen to that before they come out. Every

:33:49.:33:51.

athlete is different and it makes him more... I don't know, he just

:33:52.:33:54.

doesn't like it. We were talking earlier. Sticking with hats and

:33:55.:34:00.

hair, the women have such long hair and so much hair, Siobhan Marie

:34:01.:34:04.

O'Connor who we're going to see in the pool very shortly, I said to

:34:05.:34:07.

her... Get it cut off? No, she looks pretty. Leave her alone. Leave her

:34:08.:34:13.

alone. She's got like a speed cone going on. No, it's fine. If it's

:34:14.:34:17.

shorter, it's a lot more awkward to tuck up. A lot of times when the

:34:18.:34:22.

girls are swimming along, it is bobbing and lifting it up more.

:34:23.:34:26.

That's why a lot of people won't be able to see it. A lot of people wear

:34:27.:34:31.

two hats. One to tuck your hair in and then the goggles and then

:34:32.:34:34.

another hat over the top that we call a bullet cap so it is super

:34:35.:34:38.

smooth and smooths out all of the bump that is you p don't have with

:34:39.:34:41.

all of the hair there. The Americans are smooth as anything this evening.

:34:42.:34:46.

We're going to see lots of stars and stripes. Please talk us through the

:34:47.:34:51.

medal ceremony for the men's 100 metre backstroke.

:34:52.:35:03.

David Plummer the 30-year-old from the USA got his after coming third

:35:04.:35:07.

and fourth so many times. But what a surprise this is. Fourth at the

:35:08.:35:16.

World Championships Jhu from China. Brilliant here on the 100 metres

:35:17.:35:25.

backstroke. 52.31. Nine one hundredths of a second behind the

:35:26.:35:29.

bronze medallist, David Plummer. And China had a great night. Gold on the

:35:30.:35:34.

200 metre free. Bronze tied on the women's 100 back and a silver here.

:35:35.:35:38.

Gold, silver bronze, I don't think that they would have imagined that

:35:39.:35:42.

they'd come out with that. Great, and this young man had a brilliant

:35:43.:35:47.

swim. Fourth equal at the turn and came through with the silver medal.

:35:48.:35:54.

Protecting the legacy, if you like of the Americans is 199 since then

:35:55.:35:58.

they've not lost this particular final. The sixth straight Olympic

:35:59.:36:04.

title for the 100 metres backstroke in a row for Team USA. Jeff Rouse in

:36:05.:36:17.

2000. Now Ryan Murphy of the USA continues the streak. Six in a row

:36:18.:36:22.

for USA. And in the end, he very nearly broke the world record. That

:36:23.:36:27.

world record held by Arnold Pearsol. 51.94. Ryan Murphy's time, 51.97.

:36:28.:36:38.

The new Olympic record, Olympic gold to Ryan Murphy of the USA.

:36:39.:36:54.

(National anthem of the United States of America plays)

:36:55.:37:56.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Olympic champion, men's 100 metre

:37:57.:38:07.

backstroke, Ryan Murphy of the USA continuing that fantastic streak of

:38:08.:38:12.

the USA. Six in a row now. Silver medal to Xu of China. Big surprise

:38:13.:38:16.

that, fourth at the worlds and now silver here in Rio. And delighted

:38:17.:38:21.

for 30-year-old David Plummer, finally gets his chance at Olympic

:38:22.:38:24.

Games and at 30 years of age, he wins a bronze.

:38:25.:38:31.

Congratulations, Ryan Murphy. First Olympic Games, first Olympic gold

:38:32.:38:39.

medal at 21 years of age. And while we were listening to the American

:38:40.:38:42.

national anthem, Sharon was speaking to a South African who has had a

:38:43.:38:48.

very successful night in the pool. Playing the mind games, what is

:38:49.:38:51.

going on in the call room? Nothing, I'm here to race. I'm here to rails

:38:52.:38:57.

the best. You're such a fibber! It is what it is. Is that part of your

:38:58.:39:01.

strategy. Because it is a different place. It's so much fun watching you

:39:02.:39:06.

now from four years ago when you were the young guy. We now have

:39:07.:39:09.

another young guy snapping at the heels as well? Absolutely. It will

:39:10.:39:13.

be a great night. I can't say too much about tomorrow. It is a huge

:39:14.:39:17.

opportunity for me and the other our or five or six guys in the final.

:39:18.:39:20.

Yeah, I just want to do my family proud. That's what I'm here to do.

:39:21.:39:23.

Talking about the family. How are they? It's been hard. It's been

:39:24.:39:28.

definitely easier in the last few years, but I swim for them and I

:39:29.:39:32.

swim for my supporters. There's an amazing documentary out and we

:39:33.:39:35.

watched it a lot in the UK. You must be very proud of that? Thank you, he

:39:36.:39:40.

am proud. Thank you to Jamie Cunningham for doing that and Sir

:39:41.:39:44.

Matthew. And well done in the 200 as well. What possessed you to go out

:39:45.:39:48.

so fast? I wanted to take it out hard and see if I could hang on. See

:39:49.:39:52.

what happens! All right, we'll see you tomorrow.

:39:53.:39:57.

Of course, Chad Le Clos referring to the fact that both of his parents,

:39:58.:40:02.

Bert, who of course, was catapulted to international fame after that

:40:03.:40:06.

Olympic victory back in 2012, has got prostate cancer and his mum has

:40:07.:40:12.

got breast cancer and she's had a double mastectomy, so a very

:40:13.:40:14.

difficult situation for Chad and he's clearly very, very proud and

:40:15.:40:18.

very close to them. And his family are very proud of him and rightly

:40:19.:40:22.

so. Fact young man in and out of the pool. Definitely, his family are so

:40:23.:40:28.

lovely. Bert walked past earlier and came over and said hello. They're so

:40:29.:40:31.

passionate about the sport and you can see that from right back in

:40:32.:40:34.

London and all the way through, just how much they love Chad as well. I

:40:35.:40:37.

love seeing proud parents like that and just so much emotion. They swim

:40:38.:40:42.

it with him, pretty much. Do you feel differently about your Olympic

:40:43.:40:45.

medals and what you did in the pool now that you're a parent? Do you

:40:46.:40:48.

know what you put your parents through? Yes, and I always thanked

:40:49.:40:52.

my parents and I always have done. I've always been one of those

:40:53.:40:58.

athletes. I very much appreciate what my family sacrificed, not just

:40:59.:41:01.

my parents but even my sisters and everyone were fantastic. But's what

:41:02.:41:05.

makes swimming so fantastic. It's all about the families. Even when

:41:06.:41:08.

you look around here and Phelps's family and Chad's family and all of

:41:09.:41:12.

the Murphies are down there. Adam Peaty's family last night. And it's

:41:13.:41:16.

so lovely. Because it is a unit together and I say that my dad wears

:41:17.:41:19.

my mdallies more than I do, and he does to be honest. He takes them to

:41:20.:41:22.

work under his suit. No! No, we joke. I don't think that he does.

:41:23.:41:27.

Well, he might. That would be pretty cool. But that's what it is all

:41:28.:41:32.

about. The getting up at 5:00am. You can't drive until you're 17 so

:41:33.:41:36.

there's a long time in swimming. Your mum could watch, couldn't she!

:41:37.:41:39.

You once said that your mum couldn't watch because she got so nervous? I

:41:40.:41:44.

didn't find this out until I was about 30. She came all the way to

:41:45.:41:47.

Australia for the Olympic Games in 2000 and after the race, I found out

:41:48.:41:52.

from a friend who was sat with her and she said, "you do know that your

:41:53.:41:57.

mum doesn't watch, don't you?". Why go all that way. Because as a kid,

:41:58.:42:02.

occasionally I did a false start and mum thought that by watching me, it

:42:03.:42:05.

would happen. And she would only start halfway down the length and my

:42:06.:42:09.

length is 20 seconds so she flew all the way to Australia for 10 seconds.

:42:10.:42:15.

But it is like Becky says, what you don't see and it is wonderful to see

:42:16.:42:18.

that raw emotion from the athlete and the parents themselves and how

:42:19.:42:22.

much they give up and sacrifice for themselves. We only ever see, people

:42:23.:42:26.

here only get to see what goes on in the TV. Is hours and hours that

:42:27.:42:32.

people put in the pool and the sacrificing and training. It's

:42:33.:42:35.

normal life to us because it's what we do but outside, you make a lot of

:42:36.:42:40.

sacrifices to hopefully fulfil your dream. Pre-2012, I spoke to Siobhan

:42:41.:42:44.

Marie O'Connor's parents and her mum said the same thing. She wasn't able

:42:45.:42:47.

to watch and she used to sit with her handbag and put her head in her

:42:48.:42:50.

handbag and I said, please don't do that at the Olympics. If they put a

:42:51.:42:54.

camera on you, people will think that you're throwing up. My mum used

:42:55.:42:58.

to say - hell me when it's halfway and then look around. Obviously

:42:59.:43:04.

Hannah in this as well. And her family sacrificed so much. But

:43:05.:43:07.

Siobhan, her family are so close. She loves being at home. She went to

:43:08.:43:11.

Australia earlier in the year to train for seven weeks and she hated

:43:12.:43:14.

being away from home and she really misses it and gets so homesick. She

:43:15.:43:18.

still lives with her parents and they're very, very close there. And

:43:19.:43:20.

she's just so grateful that they're out here also. The whole team seems

:43:21.:43:25.

like such a great family unit. We saw Adam Peaty last night. He won

:43:26.:43:28.

the gold medal and he was supposed to do interviews but he took the

:43:29.:43:31.

opportunity to pace up and down the side, encouraging Jazz Carlin and

:43:32.:43:35.

helping her. It seemed like a really good team but as you said, Siobhan

:43:36.:43:39.

Marie O'Connor is coming up in the semifinal. Let's have a look and the

:43:40.:43:42.

reminder of the achievements in the last few years. A very, very

:43:43.:43:47.

impressive young woman, isn't she! She came on to the scene at London

:43:48.:43:51.

2012. Not even in the favourite event. It wasn't her favourite so

:43:52.:43:53.

she came back and scrapped her way on to the team. She necessary in a

:43:54.:43:57.

very different position now, isn't she? She's grown up so much. Even

:43:58.:44:01.

with the 200 metre individual medley. She used to, tactic-wise,

:44:02.:44:05.

not swim the best races. Just goes out for it and hangs on and she's

:44:06.:44:08.

really grown up and matured with how she approaches the race as well and

:44:09.:44:12.

especially when you have got someone like Hosszu in your event, it is

:44:13.:44:15.

difficult because you know that she is going to be out in front. But

:44:16.:44:19.

Siobhan was a clear second this morning. She'll be wanting to post

:44:20.:44:23.

another good time tonight. The first evening swim of the whole

:44:24.:44:26.

competition so she'll be wanting to see how she can back it up.

:44:27.:44:29.

Obviously she is in the first semifinal also so she is going to be

:44:30.:44:32.

wanting a fast enough time to be able to make it through to that

:44:33.:44:39.

final. Well, let's see our British girls in action, Hannah Miley and

:44:40.:44:43.

Siobhan Marie O'Connor. Over to you. Thank you, we just missed Hannah

:44:44.:44:49.

Miley of Great Britain in 7 seven. Just fourth in the 400 metre medley.

:44:50.:44:57.

Very nearly won the bronze. Just got overtaken there.

:44:58.:45:10.

Now, Alicia Coutts in 3 for Australia. Alicia Coutts, the

:45:11.:45:18.

Commonwealth champion in Delhi. Five times, five gold medals. At 8, Maya

:45:19.:45:24.

Dirado, second fastest. She's going to push Siobhan Marie O'Connor but

:45:25.:45:27.

didn't Siobhan Marie O'Connor swim well in the heats? She looks

:45:28.:45:31.

fantastic. A clear second place there. And I don't know, tomorrow,

:45:32.:45:37.

to push Hosszu. There will be another couple of races of energy

:45:38.:45:43.

out of the tank and there will be Hosszu and Siobhan Marie, silver - I

:45:44.:45:47.

think that she will push for gold. But the question is - it's a real

:45:48.:45:51.

balancing act. She swims her own tactics and we had our conversation

:45:52.:45:54.

about that. If she swims her own race, I think odds on for the

:45:55.:45:58.

silver. But if she adjusts it a bit and goes out hard and pushes Hosszu,

:45:59.:46:02.

she could be brave tomorrow. But it might cost her the silver to bronze.

:46:03.:46:08.

That's my... Does that make sense? It does. And Siobhan Marie O'Connor

:46:09.:46:13.

in the centre there. The Commonwealth silver medal in the 100

:46:14.:46:21.

metre fly. British record holder in the 100 metre breaststroke. So

:46:22.:46:26.

Siobhan Marie O'Connor of Great Britain in 4. Hannah Miley down

:46:27.:46:32.

closer there from Great Britain. On the left-hand side as you look at

:46:33.:46:35.

the shot but a very good start there. She's a great starter,

:46:36.:46:38.

Siobhan Marie O'Connor. Absolutely. And we've got Alicia Coutts going

:46:39.:46:43.

with her, which is not surprising. A good fly simmer with the yellow cap

:46:44.:46:47.

of sophral Australia. But Siobhan asserting herself in this race. Look

:46:48.:46:51.

at the first 50 metres. Great to see and a real marker put down. 0.26 off

:46:52.:46:57.

the world record but fantastic first 50 metres from Condon. There's

:46:58.:47:01.

something that she can practice for the final. She didn't quite spot the

:47:02.:47:04.

wall and did a choppy stroke and lost a lot of the momentum going

:47:05.:47:07.

into the wall. This is the bit that I think she's going to struggle

:47:08.:47:11.

with, for Hosszu. Hosszu has just won the gold medal on the 100 metres

:47:12.:47:17.

break stroke at this Olympic Games so she's a brilliant backstroker

:47:18.:47:20.

Siobhan. Yeah, been working on the arms there. And trying to enter the

:47:21.:47:25.

water with the hands closer together. Good flip around. Dirado

:47:26.:47:30.

came back strong lip on the backstroke. Teleshe is,

:47:31.:47:34.

head-to-head. They've left Coutts behind. And it's O'Connor, the

:47:35.:47:39.

British holder for the 100 metres breaststroke to stretch more of a

:47:40.:47:44.

lead. Make that to count now. This is really exciting, I love

:47:45.:47:48.

watching the breaststroke and a little bit of a surprise there,

:47:49.:47:52.

broke the British record on the 100 metre breaststroke up in Edinburgh a

:47:53.:47:56.

couple of months ago and goodness me, she looks fantastic on this

:47:57.:47:59.

breaststroke. Let's not forget Hannah Miley there two from the

:48:00.:48:03.

bottom there. Good breaststroke there but only moving there. So

:48:04.:48:07.

she's out of it. But Siobhan Marie O'Connor has taken it there. Will be

:48:08.:48:12.

the fastest from this particular semifinal by a good old body length.

:48:13.:48:17.

She's seven tenths of a second ahead of her own British record. Really

:48:18.:48:20.

strong right now and going to the legs. Working again on the freestyle

:48:21.:48:24.

kick. A real strength of hers now and she'll need this in the final

:48:25.:48:27.

tomorrow. But a brilliant victory in the semifinal.

:48:28.:48:30.

Well, Siobhan Marie O'Connor is going to break the British record

:48:31.:48:38.

I'm sure. 2.07.57. And she's broken the British record by 7 tenths of a

:48:39.:48:44.

second. Goodness me. 2.07.5. That's a wonderful swim. Only 0.1 off the

:48:45.:48:50.

Olympic record. The Olympic record let's not forget is that anyone

:48:51.:48:55.

swimming in any Olympics whatsoever and just 0.1 seconds off that. Which

:48:56.:49:00.

was set by Hosszu. Sorry, Wen in London. Back in 2012. Hosszu, this

:49:01.:49:16.

year on 2:73 in the heats heats and a 2:4:45. The breaststroke leg there

:49:17.:49:20.

very good indeed. Interesting straight arm freestyle. She got a

:49:21.:49:25.

silver medal the at the Commonwealth Games in the 200 heater free and

:49:26.:49:29.

missed the 200 metre medley and understands the feeling inside the

:49:30.:49:33.

last 50 metre and look at that. She's delighted and so she should

:49:34.:49:39.

be. It was Hosszu who set the Olympic record there, just to

:49:40.:49:41.

correct that. In the heats this morning so let's see what she can

:49:42.:49:45.

deliver tonight. She'll have to get close to that but a brilliant

:49:46.:49:48.

result. So Siobhan Marie O'Connor winning the first semifinal of the

:49:49.:49:53.

women's 200 medley. Very good time and a new British record. Miley in

:49:54.:50:02.

seventh. Sixth even. Huge congratulations to Siobhan

:50:03.:50:04.

Marie O'Connor. New British record. She looked pretty happy with that

:50:05.:50:09.

and rightly so. Fantastic race. I love watching Siobhan race. Just her

:50:10.:50:13.

skills. Even though she didn't quite spot her butter nri to backstroke

:50:14.:50:17.

turn there but everything else, butterfly and the breaststroke is

:50:18.:50:21.

wonderful. I do worry about the backstroke leg because that is where

:50:22.:50:24.

Hosszu is strong. Tomorrow night will be interesting to see whether

:50:25.:50:27.

Siobhan can actually keep up with her or whether she's just going to

:50:28.:50:31.

swim her own race but if she does that, she'll be coming home with the

:50:32.:50:34.

silver medal. She's acknowledged the weaker strengths and worked on it.

:50:35.:50:38.

How important are the tactics here? You need four good strokes but the

:50:39.:50:43.

bottom line is that Hosszu is an unbelievably strong backstroker. She

:50:44.:50:45.

has to watch out for that leg tomorrow night but I think that she

:50:46.:50:49.

can have a go. Let's hear from her because Siobhan is with Sharon.

:50:50.:50:52.

Fantastic swim. British record. You look very pleased. Yeah, I really

:50:53.:50:58.

wanted to crack that 2:08 for a while so I didn't think that I was

:50:59.:51:01.

going to go that quick tonight and Dave said - try to repeat what you

:51:02.:51:06.

did this morning. But I just thought it was really good. I'm really

:51:07.:51:09.

pleased that time. I've really wanted to get that time for a long

:51:10.:51:13.

time. I noticed that you made sure that you spotted your parents and

:51:14.:51:15.

said hello to family as you came out. That's obviously important to

:51:16.:51:22.

you? Yeah, yeah. But... I thought that the... Waving away. I saw the

:51:23.:51:26.

team but I didn't see my mum and dad. I thought that they'd be

:51:27.:51:31.

somewhere there. They're definitely here which means a lot. It was so

:51:32.:51:35.

good. I got to see them the other day and it means that everything is

:51:36.:51:38.

here and it was so nice to know that they're not that far away. And when

:51:39.:51:41.

I need them there, they're right there. The guys are saying that

:51:42.:51:44.

you're going to have to take her on, which means that it is kind of your

:51:45.:51:49.

backstroke versus, well, her backstroke versus your breaststroke

:51:50.:51:51.

and your breaststroke is looking so fast now? Yeah, I mean, you know,

:51:52.:51:57.

she's dominated the md medley events for so long and I'll definitely give

:51:58.:52:01.

her a rails but I need to stick to my own race plan and she has such a

:52:02.:52:06.

strong backstroke. I've worked on the backstroke and the breaststroke

:52:07.:52:09.

this year. The backstroke is nowhere near as hers but the breaststroke

:52:10.:52:12.

has come on leaps and bounds and that's helped the medley and I hope

:52:13.:52:15.

that I can give her a good race tomorrow. All the best for tomorrow.

:52:16.:52:24.

Thank you, cheers. So there is Hosszu. That was

:52:25.:52:30.

actually... From Hungary, the team-mate up in line 2, Jakabos. But

:52:31.:52:37.

Hosszu in 4. Margalis of the USA in 5. It will be interesting to see.

:52:38.:52:42.

She's just won the 100 metres Olympic Games back. Is she going to

:52:43.:52:46.

push this or just get through to the final? Last off the blocks. She

:52:47.:52:51.

absolutely got left on the blocks, Hosszu in the centre there. That was

:52:52.:53:00.

interesting. But up until about second place. Margalis there. Had an

:53:01.:53:07.

impressive swim. She's from Georgia. But Hosszu is strong. She's tough.

:53:08.:53:11.

She's used to swimming a number of races but the emotions and the

:53:12.:53:16.

pressure that comes with an Olympic final having done the 100 metre

:53:17.:53:19.

break stroke could have taken something out of her. And this is

:53:20.:53:22.

the backstroke leg. She's in the left of the lel owe p lanes with the

:53:23.:53:29.

white cap on but in lane 1, going well is Weng of Germany. She was

:53:30.:53:35.

going well but she's not a backstroker and Hosszu is the new

:53:36.:53:37.

Olympic champion and doesn't it show. She's like a machine. Boom,

:53:38.:53:43.

boom, boom. Does not stop. Breathes every time one of her arms goes

:53:44.:53:48.

over. Didn't quite spot which one but doesn't breathe every arm. Well,

:53:49.:53:53.

one big kick and then maybe a little wriggle there. The little wriggle

:53:54.:53:57.

isn't allowed, Katingk. Slap on the wrist. Well, you're right. Siobhan

:53:58.:54:01.

tomorrow in the final will have to watch it on the backstroke and she

:54:02.:54:05.

needs to be close. And work extremely hard in this. Hosszu still

:54:06.:54:12.

working hard. And down in lane six is Wen of China having a much better

:54:13.:54:16.

swim on the 200 metre medley hand than in the 400. Let's see what

:54:17.:54:20.

happens there. Closing the gap there a little bit on ho hos. Let's see

:54:21.:54:26.

the turn. Two seconds down. Well, this is interesting. She's going to

:54:27.:54:34.

be close. At 20:08 I think. Hosszu turned exactly one second slower

:54:35.:54:37.

than Siobhan Marie O'Connor did at the 150 metre mark and the first

:54:38.:54:43.

heat of the medley. She's a very strong freestyler Hosszu hos and

:54:44.:54:50.

Siobhan's time was 2:07:57. Let's see how she does. She was a second

:54:51.:54:55.

down and this will be very interesting indeed. Siobhan Marie

:54:56.:54:57.

O'Connor is going to go into the final tomorrow night fastest.

:54:58.:55:02.

Goodness me. So Hosszu wins the second semifinal of the women's 200

:55:03.:55:10.

metre medley. Shiwen the defending champion. How can you go 4:45 for

:55:11.:55:18.

the 400 and 2:09 for the 200. Very strange there. She's had an Olympic

:55:19.:55:25.

final tonight. Got a gold medal. And she's just done enough there to

:55:26.:55:29.

qualify in second place. But there was a little bit of talk earlier

:55:30.:55:32.

this morning about Siobhan Marie O'Connor, great second place. She's

:55:33.:55:38.

in second place, she can maybe get a second place Hosszu but I think that

:55:39.:55:41.

she can win it tomorrow night. If you're out there, stay up. Tomorrow

:55:42.:55:45.

night, get up and set the alarm because I think that Siobhan Marie

:55:46.:55:48.

O'Connor is going to have a chance of beating his wife! His wife, her

:55:49.:55:59.

husband and coach. Shane toss-up. Well, she he is's had a tough

:56:00.:56:02.

session. Can't take it away from her. She's had a big old session.

:56:03.:56:07.

Qualifying now into second place for the final. And she'll have more to

:56:08.:56:13.

come tomorrow. And so will the British swimmer. So Hosszu wins the

:56:14.:56:19.

second semifinal of the women's 200 metre medley by means that Ye Shiwen

:56:20.:56:23.

in there. And Siobhan Marie O'Connor will go into the final fastest.

:56:24.:56:32.

How exciting is that. So Siobhan Marie O'Connor of Great Britain gets

:56:33.:56:35.

a fabulous centre lane. Lane 4 for the final tomorrow night at the

:56:36.:56:40.

women's 200 metres individual medley. Hosszu second. Dirado third

:56:41.:56:46.

and the defending champion goes in fourth fastest.

:56:47.:56:52.

That is a massive call there, Siobhan Marie O'Connor could beat

:56:53.:56:56.

Hosszu who is so dominant but Siobhan Marie O'Connor will go into

:56:57.:57:01.

that with confidence. It's possible. And 2.7.45 is a world booting time.

:57:02.:57:04.

She could become Olympic champion on the back of that. Hosszu had a

:57:05.:57:07.

dilemma tomorrow. She's got the 200 metre fly. The 200 fly heats in the

:57:08.:57:11.

morning and the 200 semis in the evening which is about an hour

:57:12.:57:14.

before the 200 metre medley. Now, if she's the Iron Lady, she'll try to

:57:15.:57:19.

do both. But I have a feeling on the back of that, I think that Siobhan

:57:20.:57:22.

Marie O'Connor could put a shot across the bow and I think that

:57:23.:57:25.

she'll pull out of that tomorrow. Even if she was not swimming it,

:57:26.:57:28.

Siobhan has a big shout. Like the guys say - gamble on it. Almost like

:57:29.:57:32.

the silver is guaranteed at the moment so have a shot at her and go

:57:33.:57:36.

at it and see if she can respond. This is the stage, if you're going

:57:37.:57:40.

to put everything out there, this is the place to do it? Definitely. For

:57:41.:57:44.

her, it would be amazing to get that gold medal and the thing with her is

:57:45.:57:47.

that she's looked fantastic. Even that swim there was a huge British

:57:48.:57:51.

record and a personal best time for her. Just looks so controlled and so

:57:52.:57:55.

smooth. I personally think that she had more left to give on the

:57:56.:57:58.

freestyle leg and I think that she can challenge her. I think that it

:57:59.:58:01.

is so tough against someone like Hosszu who has the experience and

:58:02.:58:04.

who is so good at everything but like I say, it will be interesting

:58:05.:58:07.

to see whether she pulls out of the 200 metre butter fly. It was

:58:08.:58:10.

interesting to see the body language there with Sharon. She looks like

:58:11.:58:15.

there's more to give and didn't look that tired. Hannah Miley is

:58:16.:58:18.

celebrating her birthday with a semifinal place but no place into

:58:19.:58:21.

the final but she'll be happy with that and she seemed like she was

:58:22.:58:24.

enjoying herself. So good times for Hannah Miley. Unfortunately for

:58:25.:58:29.

James Guy, no medal for him. He missed out on it with fourth place

:58:30.:58:33.

but don't jet it be said that the swimming is is a dull place. There's

:58:34.:58:36.

been dancing in here which is unbelievable. If you've had a dull

:58:37.:58:39.

day, have a look at this chap. I think thaf he will make you smile.

:58:40.:58:43.

He hasn't got the Monday blues! It's Monday in Brazil, everyone. It's the

:58:44.:58:46.

Olympics and he's having a ball. The thing is, I saw him and he thought

:58:47.:58:51.

of you, Jason! Thank you very much Helen Skelton, you cheeky risk kal.

:58:52.:58:55.

I'm a child of the 70s and 80s and I'll show you the break dancing one

:58:56.:58:59.

evening. Before we leave you, let's bring you some news from the world

:59:00.:59:03.

of gymnastics because the Dutch gymnast Van Gelder has been kicked

:59:04.:59:08.

out of the Rio Games by the country's Olympic Committee for

:59:09.:59:10.

violating team rules over the consumption of alcohol. The former

:59:11.:59:15.

World Champion had qualified for the final of the men's rings which take

:59:16.:59:19.

place next week but is reportedly already been sent home. The Dutch

:59:20.:59:25.

che demission said that it was a "difficult decision" but described

:59:26.:59:27.

the behaviour as "simply unacceptable". So that news just

:59:28.:59:31.

coming into us. Let's bring you right up to date with all of day

:59:32.:59:32.

three's headlines. Britain's Tom Daley and Daniel

:59:33.:59:43.

Goodfellow won Olympic bronze in the men's sin cronised ten metres

:59:44.:59:47.

platform. -- sin cron iced ten metres platform. Well done, guys.

:59:48.:59:54.

And another medal for team GB came whened Bling took bronze in the

:59:55.:00:10.

men's trap holding his nerve. Sadly, Great Britain missed out on a medal

:00:11.:00:15.

in the men's gymnastics team final after Lewis Smith came off the

:00:16.:00:21.

pommel sport. Japan taking gold ahead of Russia and China.

:00:22.:00:24.

Disappointment too in the women's Rugby 7s. Defeats to New Zealand and
