Day 3 BBC One: 19.00-20.00 Olympics

Good evening and welcome back to the Olympics here in Rio. It is a

beautiful day and Great Britain are celebrating after a gold for Adam

Peaty and a silver for Jazz Carlin in the pork. New to the games is

Rugby Sevens and British women are trying to reach the final. We will

see their semifinal against New Zealand in a moment or two. We have

the men's trap semifinals on BBC Four. We will update it here on BBC

One but we asked focusing on winning's Rugby Sevens. They have

scored 19 tries, only conceded one. New Zealand's quarterfinal against

the USA was very tight. Sonny Bill Williams is the star of the men's

side and his sister Niall the star of the women's.

COMMENTATOR: Emily Scarratt catches that. That is very well-managed by

Abigail Brown. Emily Scarratt sizing up the options. Amy Wilson hardly.

Change of tactics, one for Joanne watch more to chase. -- Watmore.

That was a tough call for Watmore. You could see by her face, she was

surprised by that. The women's game, they tend to go to line out. New

Zealand are putting the ball downfield.

We will see if New Zealand can nail their set piece.

The danger runner because of her speed and nobody can stop woodman.

One of the great site so far of the Olympic Games, Portia Woodman in

full flow. The names just trip off your time now, they are world-class

athletes. You have to knock these women down

very early because it is back division and it is absolutely

world-class. It is just 5-0 because they cannot

confirm it -- convert it. Portia Woodman, what an amazing athlete. A

confident start from Team GB. The Kiwis kicking off, this restart so

important. It might go the other way this time. They do tend to switch at

the last second. There she goes again and coming the way of Emily

Scarratt. Katie McClane gets it away quickly.

Get the pass away to does -- McLean. There is a chance to go wide. The

ball comes up for Emily Scarratt, she looks full support, goes on

their own. There is a tussle for the ball on the floor. The referee says

play on. Holding on. Turnover ball. Woodman. Go straight for the contact

this time. It comes out, Natasha Hunt. A chance for Great Britain. It

will be the first try for the British team. It is Richardson. We

are all square. A great response from Team GB.

Fantastic play. Hunt moves the ball. Greg Hands. Katie McLean. That will

give them a huge amount of confidence. They have started well.

Absolutely no doubt. Well done, those two point is

absolutely key. Watt this is the finish by Richardson.

Conversion has been landed. GB lead 7-5. Danger here. Kelly Brees gives

it to McAllister. They couldn't organise their

defence. Hunt gets it back but it will be a penalty. Quickly taken.

Brees. A chance now for Manuel. Wonderful skill, the way they can

move the The skill of the New Zealanders is

very high. That was an excellent try.

They pick their spot. And again changes. It goes towards Emily

Scarratt. Two cans to it. They get the penalty. That is well worked.

Good work together, Emily Scarratt and Wilson-Hardy. Joanne Watmore. It

will be a penalty. This could be a yellow card as well. Joanne Watmore

on caution. It is Katy McLean. That was a bit of panic. There was no

need to put the big pass in and we have lost a player here now. They

kick. The player was taken out in the air. This could be a second

yellow. This is a semifinal gone pear

shaped. Clearly catching a player in the

air. Good call from the Australian. She tackled her in the air. She

landed on the side so it is going to be a yellow card.

She said sorry and put her hand up, she knows she did wrong.

I'm not sure they will have practised this too often. Baker on

for New Zealand. Any sense of width should produce an overlap. A simple

run in four Portia Woodman. It is really sad, on the bench,

Wilson-Hardy and Katy McLean. Both decisions were correct though.

This is almost an impossible task now for Team GB.

No conversion added. Seven points to 15. Great Britain will start the

second half with only five players. Wilson-Hardy and Katy McLean in the

bin. CLARE BALDING: A match that was always going to be Taffs has now got

even harder. We will be staying with it but it is a busy day from Rio.

The men's gymnastics on BBC Four and when we switched channels at 4pm,

the rhythm tends to precision. Timing is everything. Standing above

the water, it is time for calm. The beat is internal. Until it is time.

Time to take the leap. Time to twist, took on tort, all with

absolute precision. Perfect timing. Timing is everything.

CLARE BALDING: Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow take to the diving board.

Definitely one to watch. Ed Ling Ling currently in action in the

men's traps semifinals. Let's head back to the second half of this

women's Rugby Sevens semifinals. COMMENTATOR: New Zealand very much

in the driving seat, leading 15-7. Great Britain down to five, it is a

case of hanging on until the players get back on the field. They have to

score twice in order to have a chance but it is a tall order. They

have been in the bin two minutes now. This next 90 seconds, two

minutes, they really have to work hard.

That was a wonderful free kick and it has been an outstanding Olympic

Games. That was a wonderful kick from Alice Richardson. McAllister

has been replaced. Baker, who will not bring so much speed to the

semifinal, but has a lot of physical presence. Here is danger now because

it is New Zealand against Great Britain with the advantage. Emily

Scarratt get a hand on the ball but as they go the other way,

immediately, there are players over. Baker may not be the best on the

outside, nor Manuel... Another high tackle. Don't say we will be down to

four! Portia Woodman, it is no contest. The flying machine of

women's Sevens scores again. Third try for Portia Woodman. A great try

from a great player. The good news is, Katy McLean can come back on.

Again, playing against five players, New Zealand know how to exploit

those gaps and making some changes now. Emily Scarratt doesn't really

have any chance against these real flying machines, like Portia

Woodman. The lead is only 13 points. That means if Britain score twice,

convert both, they are back in it. Two converted tries, we can win this

game. So they have to believe there is plenty of time. These restarts

will be absolutely critical. Here is the routine, as ever. It's

not going to be Scarratt. It is Hunt. Heather Fisher is on.

Unfortunately, the first touch is to knock the ball on. Woodman, danger

already. Kelly Brazier. Sarah Goss. That is the strength of Goss. Now

the dancing feet of Brazier. A lot of dancing going on from Shakira

Baker and Manuel. Manuel on the outside, and another

score from Broughton. It is a very one-sided semifinal. The loss of

those two press has not helped the situation. You have to admire this

New Zealand team. The way they just do not lose possession. They recycle

and recycle, and this all came from Fisher, coming in, losing the ball

in the contact, and you give the ball to this team and you're going

to struggle to catch them up. And the only chance with New Zealand is

to dominate possession and keep possession. But we aren't keeping as

much ball is we need to. Five tries, none of them converted. New Zealand

25, Great Britain seven. More changes. On the comes Emily Scott,

who, throughout this tournament, she has always made an impact. Jasmine

Joyce of Wales, the one non-English player in the squad is on the field.

They will be disappointed with this but they've got a play-off for a

bronze coming up, so they've got to real estate professional, and set

the tone. They have to hang onto the

possession but they've given it away game, which means New Zealand can

lead to up more seconds, and, who knows, maybe even add to the

scoreboard. Good tackle by Heather Fisher. Well

done, the tackle led to the penalty. This New Zealand backline is just

absolutely world-class, and they're struggling to hold them down.

Again, possession lost and regained and penalty awarded. It is a chance.

Away goes Abbie Brown. When you watch these topsides, New Zealand,

Australia, and TeamGB, the defence has moved up another level over the

last few years and New Zealand especially are very physical.

I think it's going to be a yellow card.

They are bringing Baker. No, no, I think they've been yellow carded for

the tackle, Tyla Nathan-Wong. No, she has just been substituted.

Looking for straws to cling onto! She is a wonderful player, Tyla

Nathan-Wong. They lot goes around to her. When she looks up, she

dominates. And she sees a scoreboard with under a minute to go. 25-7 to

New Zealand. And Portia Woodman in possession.

Turnover possession for Great Britain. This would help their cause

as they breed gain confidence for the bronze medal final. -- regain

confidence. Reverse penalty this time. The women

do love to tackle. Everyone, total commitment to the cause, and

well-deserved. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be for Team GB. Final

whistle goes. New Zealand, well, they cruise into the final. The top

seeds New Zealand and Australia meet in the first-ever women's Rugby 7's

final and New Zealand have beaten Great Britain 25-7. Disappointment

for the Great Britain side. They have to get over it quickly because,

as Heather Fisher knows, there is the bronze medal final to come.

Sarah Goss can smile and look forward to the gold medal final. It

has been a stadium that hasn't filled a full crowd but it has been

raucous, it has been a true fiesta spirit as we approach the climax of

this women's Rugby 7's tournament. New Zealand, Portia Woodman, one of

the most outstanding finishes in the game. New Zealand go through and

let's join John Inverdale. Hugely disappointing for Team GB but

it is difficult to play an all Black team. That was probably there and

doing. We will speak to one of the British players and hopefully to

Portia Woodman who was one of the outstanding players. Here's what

happened early on which is why it is going to be New Zealand against

Australia. It is now in the hands of the

Australians. Now, first try of the semifinal for Australia. So,

Australia very much in charge of this first semi. Oh, very aggressive

on the tackle, high tackle. All the REFEREE: been strict on the high

tackles but I'm pleased the Australians are having a go.

This is the semifinal of the Olympic Games. Shannon Parry can't get it

off to Tonegato. Outsiders Tonegato, excellent tackle, the off-load goes

back to Cherry, and it is the risk worth taking, Australia not prepared

to end the half, they went for it and scored. This wonderful finish,

Emilee Cherry over and it is well-deserved. Clearly, number one

ranked team, living up to their expectations.

Charlotte Caslick eager to get the ball quickly. This must be a score.

They go to the wide outside, Chloe Dalton... And Australia are cruising

to the gold medal final. Again, great hands from this whole

Australian team. Great passing making it look simple. And Dalton

goes in. Hannah Darling comes on. Williams for the line. They score

and time is running out, though with less than a minute ago, but they are

on board. Australia are through to the first women's sevens final in

Olympic history. So, it is going to be a New Zealand versus Australia

final which will mean it'll be Great Britain against Canada bronze medal

match and the key thing is from a British point of view, there's

one match to go and a medal to be won. That's right we wanted to come

away with a medal, we weren't good enough in that game, we can stand

here and say that. The better team went forward. There were too many

mistakes we weren't clinical enough. We have a game plan and we need to

stick to it better than that. We need to dust ourselves off because

there's a lot to play for. No complaints about the yellow cards?

Its rugby at those sort of things happen. At the end of the day, our

skills weren't good enough, we didn't apply ourselves good enough

and that result was probably what we deserved, in the end. You have to

earn half hours before the bronze medal match. He wants to be prepared

for that, would you do? Dust ourselves off. We will use the

disappointment to give us a bit of a kick up the bum and make sure we

come away with something. Thank you very much. Clive, a quick thought

about the quality of the two semifinals that we saw and also what

sort of a final we might have. If you could put your finger on what it

is Australia and New Zealand to that perhaps the others don't do quite so

well, what would that be? First of all, Team GB lost a lot of momentum

with losing those two players. The number 12 teams in the world,

Australia and New Zealand, have made the final deservedly so. Team GB

have to refocus and make sure they go home with a bronze medal. In

terms of the difference, the skill level is quite astonishing from the

women's game. Their ability to pass off both hands and play the whole

width of the field, Team GB are close, we're getting close, but were

not there yet. We are seeing the extra pace, if you look at Mcalister

and Woodman, they are world-class. So they've got a couple of

absolutely standout players which Team GB have got a very good team

but we don't have these world-class players, which has been the

difference. We lose a couple of players, it's going to be tough but

they have to be proud of themselves. Team GB can come away with it bronze

medal and beat Canada, that would be a huge success and I'd say that is

where they are rightly placed at the moment. Up until then, Team GB and

conceded one try in the competition so their defence had been nigh on

watertight but there's only a couple of games in the -- minutes in the

game. If you have five players, you're never going to win but I

think they did very well but you can't stress how good this New

Zealand team is. This lady here that has just come into shot... How

impressed were you by you in that match? I think it came from within.

Seeing that my girls are ready for this, we are prepared for this and

we've been working towards this for four years and just to get out there

and implement our game plan, it was a huge rush to the body. There is

such a huge expectation in New Zealand for you and the men in the

next few days. Is that an inspiration or pressure? You can

take it either way. York whole country believes in you. If you let

the pressure come onto your shoulders, it can. As a squad, we

don't focus on it. And you're playing your best friends in the

final. Yes, that rivalry, they will be good and we will be doing a lot

of reviewing in the next couple of hours. Portia Woodman, good to talk

to you and good luck. So we have a bronze medal match coming up between

Great Britain and Canada but it'll be Australia versus New Zealand for

the first ever Olympic gold. Thanks to John. A chance of a bronze

in the Rugby 7's. Still to come, we have a gold thanks to Adam Peaty and

a silver thanks to Jazz Carlin. Ed Ling has a chance of a bronze medal.

This is your commentator, Richard Drew.

Ed Ling, 21st in London, 25th in Athens so whatever happens it is a

vast improvement. His dad, Steve, his personal coach. Very strong bond

between the two. And the format the same again, 15 shots. Not a great

start from the Britain. There is time for that to be turned around.

Strong start from his opponent. They are shooting five sections three.

These shot guns that are so personal to the shooters. And that is a mess.

The flag has gone up. The scoreboard momentarily having it has a hit, but

it has been reversed. It is one apiece after two shots.

Takes a piece of the left-hand target.

Two apiece after the first three. We have to deal with a slight pause as

the crowd are informed of what the situation is and Ed Ling will get us

underway again. He is going to start shooting from a very early age. Part

of their DNA. Just took a piece out of the straight through targets. But

apiece is enough. A good start to the next section from both of these

athletes. That was a tricky one. He did very

well to track that one. David Kostelecky misses that. A lot of

shots to go, though. It is just clouding over a little

bit. A bit of breeze around. Nothing too terrible, though.

You can hear in the background, the British contingent.

Wilson put the Brits on the map shooting wise in double trap. Can Ed

Ling comeback with a medal as well? Just ahead after the first six

shots. Here we go again. No chance to

switch off for these athletes. Is that another miss? It is, three

misses from David Kostelecky. This is looking better for Ed Ling. Just

the one miss so far from the man from Taunton.

If he carries on like that, he might be taking home the bronze.

No target. David Kostelecky is under a bit of pressure. Just a little

added more. A semifinal place for him in Sydney,

he also got a medal in Beijing. Only 14th in London, though. Ed Ling,

this is his third Olympics but his first semifinal and his first medal

shoot off as well. He has been in great form, it has to be said,

feeling pretty confident. That was a nasty rising one to the right. And

that is four misses for David Kostelecky and at the moment, a

three shot cushion for Ed Ling. Just six targets left in this bronze

medal match. It is clouding over a little bit, a little bit of breeze.

Nothing too terrible, though. Ed Ling needs to keep his

concentration. That is better from David

Kostelecky. If he can just keep going, Ed Ling

may have this wrapped up with several shots to go. That is a miss,

though. He is still ahead by a couple, if David Kostelecky hits

this one. Another no target. No penalty of course. And he does

nail that one. A tricky one up to the right. 9-7, then. Ed Ling still,

if he can get the next two, looking really, really good. In the

semifinal, there is a left and right and centre. We don't know what

order. But they will know. They keep a mental tally of what has gone

before. David Kostelecky doing what he can to keep the pressure on. But

there are three shots to go and the gap is two. 10-8. Ed Ling in here in

this bronze medal match. If he can keep his calm, the bronze is his.

The gold-medallist from Beijing under pressure, especially with Ed

Ling shooting first. Edging towards that bronze medal. David Kostelecky

has to take this one. And he does. Two the gap, two to shoot. Ed Ling

can wrap up the bronze. If he takes this one. And he does. He is not

going to show too much emotion until the end of this competition, but

that is the bronze wrapped up for Ed Ling of Great Britain. He has to

show a little bit of consideration to his opponent. He knows the game

is up and that was a bit of a careless shot from David Kostelecky.

These last shots are academic now from these two athletes. Can Ed Ling

finish off in style? He can. 13 out of 15. And now he can relax. The

celebrations won't start until the last shot and it has been got away

by David Kostelecky and he is having to wait. No bird and no shot called

by the referee. He misses the last one. It is comfortable for Ed Ling

of Great Britain. The man from Taunton takes the bronze medal here

in Rio in the trap competition. He is absolutely delighted. His

personal coach and has been since an early age will be delighted as well.

The junior world champion takes the bronze medal.

Fantastic stuff for Ed Ling and continuing a great tradition of

British shooting. A huge improvement for Ed Ling. He was 25th in Athens,

21st in London. In terms of the Rio Olympics, a third medal for the

British team after gold and silver for Adam Peaty and Jazz Carlin. This

is the Olympic Park. When I said 4pm earlier, I meant 8pm, your time. A

fantastic evening of sporting action to come. We hope medals abound.

Let's take you through the list of medals halfway through 83. -- day

three. William Fox-Pitt led the dressage halfway through but he and

Chilli Morning moved right down the leaderboard. Gemma Tattersall had a

tough course. Chances of a team medal very slim. British in seventh

with to come. -- with show-jumping to come. Heather Stanning and Helen

Glover pushed all the way in their heat. The men's four and women's

eight all won their heats. Kat Copeland and Charlotte tailor

finished last and they will need to go the repechage. Nekoda

Smythe-Davis's judo challenge ending at the last 16, suffering a narrow

defeat to Automne Pavia. In tennis, Johanna Konta won her second match

against Caroline Garcia in straight sets but her team-mate Kyle Edmund

went out at the same stage, losing to Taro Daniel. Britain suffered

their first boxing defeat at these games when light flyweight Jamar

Loza fight lost his round of 16 bout. -- ya Lal gaffe I -- Galal

Yafai. Paddy Barnes went the same way, which was a big shock. The two

time Olympic bronze-medallist losing to Samuel Carmona Heredia on a tough

judge decision. Tom Daley coming up along with Dan

Goodfellow in the ten-metre synchronised platform final, at 8pm

and we will be building up to it shortly. Team gymnastics on BBC Four

at the same time. Fabulous night ahead at the Olympics. You can

follow everything on 24 live streams and on the BBC sport app. And the

Red Button depending on your TV and provider. Up to eight Red Button

streams so plenty of choice. Walking around the Olympic Park it is a case

of how much is going on and what shall we do? The choice is endless

and we try to bring you the best of it. A real party atmosphere here

because last night Team GB got their first gold medal of these games,

thanks to Adam Peaty. Here ears, Great Britain's Adam

Peaty. He needs this to join the most exclusive club in the world. It

started with Adam Peaty right in the centre. Good reaction.

A big turn underwater, he is streaking away. This is quite

extraordinary, absolutely phenomenal from Great Britain's Adam Peaty.

Oceans of clear blue water between Adam Peaty and the rest of the

world. He is bringing it home and this is utterly brilliant and

fantastic. He takes Olympic gold for Great Britain by an absolute streak.

The time is 57.13, oh, my goodness me. He has again betrayed to the

world record. His parents are up there, give them a wave. I came out

tonight, and I came back and I gave it everything I have got. I did it

for my country more importantly and that means so much to me. How does

that feel? Wow! That is all I can say! I don't know whether to cry! I

am ecstatic, so proud of him. Where he has that power from, I don't

know. Was that the longest minute of your life? It went on forever, I

can't believe it happened. I have to pinch myself. I have lost my voice a

bit. I knew this arena would be perfect for me. I am getting Olympic

gold that is what carried me through.

APPLAUSE. Very proud man and there is his

family. Adam Peaty, Olympic champion and a wonderful world record but the

way he did it, he took it out from the start, 0.6 of a second ahead at

50 metres. With me now is Adam Peaty's code.

Huge congratulations to you and to Adam, what is your reaction to his

win and the manner in which he did it? Phenomenal. I've been floating

around in the sky since that happened. What a swim. It is

everything we planned for, to have our best race at the most important

time sever him to deliver that was unreal. Unreal. How big is this the

British swimming? That was the most successful day in swimming. So get

through each day do a good job and let's see what we get out of each

day, basically. How much of his success is down to his talent and

how much is down to his incredible coolness? It is a mixture of both, I

think. It is about having great physical and mental talent, and he's

got both of those capabilities. And he's just a one-off. He is a real

one-off. This limit in a world record time, there's very few times

when a swimmer gets everything is spot on. I'm still sort of stunt at

it. You seem relaxed as if that was always going to happen. It was what

we'd planned for but when you're sitting in the stand as a coach, you

hope let's just hope this comes. I don't want to go into too much

detail but when I was watching it, if you've ever seen one born every

minute, I felt like that programme. It was going to faint because when

they go down, and we've said that before, that is it, that is my job

done, I can just be a swim fan, it was excruciatingly painful watching

that, and then in relation when we achieved what we wanted to achieve.

How much time have you had to catch up with him since last night? Very

briefly, we have a medley relay at the end of the week, and I've got

another five swimmers to make sure I keep them on track this week. Very

brief but I trust him, and I feel the work is done, the conversations

that we needed to have have been had a long time ago. He is in a good

place. It provides such a lift for the other swimmers and for the whole

of the British team out here. I always think we do very well at the

Olympics and this is what we will do, build and build each day. I love

being British and I love what we do and I love that we give it a good go

and try our best. Well, you've done a fabulous job and that medal

effect, it had an immediate impact last night in the swimming pool

because not long after Adam won his medal, Jazz Carlin swam the race of

her life to win silver. The final of the women's 400 metres

freestyle. Jazz Carlin in fifth, it is going to be very difficult to

beat Katie Ledecky, the 19-year-old sensation from the USA. Jazz Carlin

has got an awesome chance of a silver medal. She has moved nicely.

She's using all of the best experience here. Great news for

Great Britain. Wales' Jazz Carlin is in silver medal position and she's

holding well, digging deeper. Ledecky smashing the world record, a

brilliant Olympic medallist. It is Katie Ledecky, the world's champion

becoming the Olympic champion. The silver for Jazz Carlin! Wonderful

silver medal, what a brilliant swim and a massive lifetime best. Well

done, Jazz Carlin. Silver medal, brilliant! Now she is a truly

world-class swimmer. Olympic silver. It's stunning!

It hasn't sunk in, it's one of those feelings and never forget, to

finally have a medal around my neck at the Olympics, it is something

special. The hard work pays off. I might not be the most talented or

skilled, but to come away with a silver medal at the Olympics, I

can't even describe it and I'm so happy with the time!

Just a wonderful night of swimming and I'm so pleased to Jazz Carlin as

well, and she's got more races to come, the 800 metres, still up

against Katie Ledecky, a fearsome opponent. Great Britain has a gold

medal, a silver medal and the last half hour or so, a bronze medal in

the shooting from Ed Ling. Could there be another medal to come? It

might be a tough challenge but we have an all-star cast in the men's

gymnastics team final. It has been a very long and bumpy journey for me.

I put everything on the line in the last couple of years, I couldn't do

anything more. I want to go out there and hit my routines as best as

possible. I think I've improved a lot. To know I am an Olympian, it is

a dream come true, really. This team is actually very strong. This

five-man team, it is hard to even make the team. We know we have to

deliver competition after competition and be consistent. We

have such a strong team, we push each other on to higher levels, to

get the best out of each other. For so long, we were expected to be a

team that just took part. Now you can expect us to cause a bit of an

upset. Great Britain have done a fantastic job over the last eight

years or so. Our transition from juniors to seniors has been very

successful, where you tend to get a big drop-off in other countries. It

shows what we're doing in British gymnastics, we are doing it right.

We need to make the final and challenge for the medal in Rio. I

believe we can do it. Realistically, we are only top five the world.

Japan are in front of us. China are in front of us. Russia, we have a

very close battle with. So, it's interesting, you know? Anything can

happen in gymnastics. I am very ambitious so you've got to aim high,

and I do, but I try to keep the medals and results in the back of my

mind. You need to do the job and hopefully that will do. In terms of

performance, I love the biggest stage. I think performing at the

Olympics... I love it. And I'm hoping to go there and perform the

routines to my potential. You have to stay so focused on what you have

to achieve. There might be setbacks and obstacles but it doesn't stop

you from dreaming, and you have to dream big.

So, those are the men that make up the British team and the team final

coming up shortly. I'm delighted to welcome to our team in Rio Matt

Baker himself a British junior gymnastics champion. He knows this

sport inside out. As we were discussing earlier today, it is

quite a complicated format, so explain it in a sentence or two.

Hello and welcome to the Olympic Arena. This is the first day of

finals and we are starting with the men's team. We saw the boys talking

and how it is going to work as each country has a team of five gymnasts.

Basically, what they nominate its three gymnasts to go up on each

piece of apparatus and this is where it gets incredibly tough because

every single score of those three performances counts towards the team

total of it carries over. 18 performances in all, six pieces of

apparatus and at the end of the competition the country with the

biggest score wins, but there's a lot at stake because if you fall,

even that counts. Before we get into the action, I know we wanted to pay

tribute to Mitch Fenner, your first Olympics without him, a huge part of

the commentary team and a huge part of gymnastics. I have to say it

doesn't feel the same without him here. We lost in a matter of weeks

before the Olympics. He loved the first day of team finals. For those

who don't know, just hear his voice, he is so ingrained in the world of

gymnastics. I'm talking globally as well because he had a big impact

with the Netherlands. Under his help, they managed to get to the

Olympics, get a team here for the first time. They've always had

individuals but never a team and Mitch managed to do that and he got

the Netherlands here. And they finished in tenth. This'll have a

couple of individuals in the individual apparatus finals so

there's a real good feeling here and we just want to keep going with

Mitch's legacy. It won't be the same without him but we will try to do

him proud and keep going. We were honoured to learn from him and we

want to keep it going. He would have been so excited I know. In terms of

Britain's chances of a medal, they took the bronze in 2012. Is it even

harder this time around? Hearing Louis Smith talk, saying they are

top five, those top five, they are so close. This is going to be a real

mix. It could go anyway. We have the current Olympic champions in China,

the current world champions in Japan. Great Britain, they have the

silver in the world Championships. The second-highest qualifies as

well. European champions in Russia... This could go anywhere.

These five teams, all of them deserve something. That competition

will begin live on BBC Four with Matt Baker and Beth Tweddle come and

Christine, but we will be concentrating on BBC One on diving

because Tom Daley is a man that has grown up before our very eyes. He's

any 22 but this is his third Olympics. He took the bronze in the

ten-metre platform in London. He will be competing in the ten metres

synchro with his partner Daniel Goodfellow. Before he flew out here,

he chatted to Gabby Logan. I'm going to the Olympic Games. Good

luck, Tom Daley. Your country is behind you. Tom Daley celebrates as

only Tom Daley can. It's a bronze medal! To be at my third Olympics is

kind of... It is mind blowing, actually. When I was a kid I always

thought I was going to do lots of Olympics. This is my bedroom, the

bedroom of a budding Olympian. I want to get to the Olympics and win

gold. If I don't win a medal, it will drive me on to go to the next

Olympics and win the medal van. To think about the amount of experience

I've got compared to 2008, I had no idea how overwhelmed I would feel

standing on the end of the board, looking down on the swimming pool

with the Olympic rings at the bottom. I didn't know what it was

going to feel like. Big smile, happy to be hair and competing in the

Olympic final. Behind every athlete is such a big support system. Where

a team and if there's one person that I wish could have been there

when me the medal was my dad. To lose a parent is just one of the

most awful experiences. From when I first started diving to where I am

now, so much has changed, so much has happened. I feel going into this

Olympics, I'm in the best physical shape possible, best mental shape

possible. In an out of the pool, life is going well. It is just an

exciting time for me and I feel everything is coming together.

Moving to London, I changed coach. That kind of fresh look on diving,

trying something new and trying something different has changed my

outlook on it completely. I feel like I'm back in my rhythm and I'm

getting to the point where I am at my most consistent and at my highest

level. When you set out on the Olympic journey, you have to be in a

relationship. It is a special bond. No matter what happens, you're going

to throw the kitchen sink at it. You've changed physically. It's

clear that Jane and you have worked specifically on your conditioning,

so your spins are quicker and everything is looking crisp and

sharp. Everything's had to change dramatically because in 2012

although I could dive, I couldn't finish them as high, so my legs were

bent, I was having to struggle to make things. Whereas now, I'm

jumping higher than anyone, so I'm able to jump higher, spin faster,

make my jumps easier. The judges want to see you do a dive and make

it look as easy as possible. I won't be happy if I get silver or bronze.

This time, I'm going in there for the win. I've been visualising this

past year the process of what I have to do with each of my dives to

actually stand on top of the podium and, you know, great if I get an

Olympic medal but what I want to go and aim for is Olympic gold and I'm

ready to fight and give it everything I've got to take it away

from the Chinese and the rest of the world and bring it home for Britain.

Tom Daley, a sporting superstar, who is bigger than diving, probably

bigger than sport, but no one is bigger than the Olympics. This is

the scene at the Maria lank diving centre. This is the introduction of

Tom Daley and Daniel Goodfellow in the ten metres synchro. You'll see

that on BBC Two. We will be there very shortly. It's a decent crowd.

It is going to need to fill up, to be frank. Some of the British

athletes walked past me, like Jamie Murray, and they will be heading

over to the diving to support Tom Daley. Very windy conditions, that

might be a factor. Please switch over to BBC Two where we will be in

a second or two with the diving.
