Welcome to BBC One viewers for the conclusion of the men's gymnastics | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
team competition. We are into the final rotation here at the Rio | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
Olympics. We are watching the end of this usually dramatic competition. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
If you want to watch the British women in action for the bronze medal | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
of the rugby sevens, that is on BBC Four. Let's rejoin the commentators. | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Claire. Great Britain finish this men's team | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
final on pummel halls. -- pummel horse. First, we will join Russia on | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
the floor. Russia doing everything they can to try and catch Japan. | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
Super floor worker. He hasn't done many apparatus for the team today, | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
Nikita Nagornyy. Big step out. That was a very difficult series, | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
including the double front somersault. Double piped Arabian, | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
needed a little pop back. Control in the handstand stage. | :01:21. | :01:39. | |
Russian team full of big tumbles. We have had doubled twisting, double | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
backs, 2.5, front somersault with a half-tone kick-out. -- with a four | :01:45. | :01:57. | |
turn kick-out. -- with eight of turn kick-out. His job done, first of | :01:58. | :02:09. | |
three for a shot on pole. Ablyazin will be next, current bronze | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
medallist. First, let's enjoy more of Nikita Nagornyy on pole. That was | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
a superb double twisting double back. He has got a very pronounced | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
hop into his tumbles. Quite unusual. But lovely 3.5 twist, meets the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
floor perfectly. A front somersault with four twist -- Lord West. There | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
is the double twisting front in the double frame. He had a big step but | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
kept it inside the floor area. This was the confident, nicely confident | :02:44. | :02:55. | |
routine. Showing all the facets of multiple twists and somersaults. | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
Everybody pacing, everybody nervous. So much at stake. Yes, 18 routines | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
into this team total, and every single one counts. The pressure now | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
is really, really building, as you are getting towards routine 16, 17, | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
18. Thinking, are you the one? Are you the one that is going to mess | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
up? Oh, dear. Well, I can tell you that Brinn Bevan has gone through, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
we're just waiting for a score, but he is through. He got through | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
cleanly. It is in, 14.8 66. That is Britain's score. | :03:46. | :04:00. | |
So, China ending their competition on behind bars. 20 years old. A very | :04:01. | :04:11. | |
nice, smooth but wet, feet in between the hands. Squat | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
lovely back somersault with full twist. That I find a bit of a | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
strange element, the early shoot out with 1.5 twist, nice full-time, -- | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
nice full turn. Lovely straight somersault. Full turn was a bit of | :04:39. | :04:39. | |
line but he carried on well. Keeping it going, keeping the | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
concentration, keeping the swing, up to the end. No problems with the | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
dismount. China at the moment in third, doing everything they can to | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
stay there. Great Britain competing at the moment for that third spot. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Louis Smith will be the next gym last to go on -- gymnast to go on | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
pummel horse. Russia in second, behind Japan. China third, Great | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Britain full. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, the grounds is a grand | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
finale, Lewis Smith will be first. -- the grand finale. World silver | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
medallist, silver at the Olympics. Lewis, we need you now. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
Really good start with the two Scissorhands stand. Onto the one | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
hand ball. -- scissor hand stand. Slight split. | :05:46. | :06:00. | |
What a shame! Lewis... He went all out. The thing was, he was pushing | :06:01. | :06:12. | |
the difficulty level. He was, he was trying to get that model, he was | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
doing the hardest routine. That was three times higher than his vocation | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
routine. Unfortunately, it looks like he was just a little bit | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
backwards as he came down. -- his qualification routine. Let's hope he | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
can finish this nice and cleanly. I know this is hard for you, Dan, | :06:27. | :06:41. | |
sitting here beside us, it is all emotional. He is up into the | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
dismount, an extra couple of turns for good measure. Well, what can use | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
a? Limits, he has been there for the British team, and today it just | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
wasn't his day -- what can you say. He knew he was going to go for it, | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
he went for it. It is the big school. He has still got planks to | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
come. We know he can score into the 16s. It is not all over yet. No. Oh, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Chris. You know you have to go for broke. That is the thing. You can't | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
play safe. And that's why they brought Lewis to go for broke. He | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
has got the ability and the confidence to do it. A 15 score for | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
China. So, Lin Chaopan. Zhang Chenglong now | :07:26. | :07:44. | |
for China. A gymnast who, in qualification, foul on this piece of | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
apparatus. Former world champion, but the pressure on this lad right | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
now is something else -- fell in qualification. And he will be very | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
keen to show his team and the world that he can perform an high bar. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Like he wants to. And there is the straight with full twist over the | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
bar. This time it was tucked, made sure | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
he was clean and clear. 1.5 turn. You have the swing close to the bar. | :08:18. | :08:42. | |
Nice style, shoot out with a full term. Hop over the bar. | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
He got lots of difficulty, into the sevens, super double twisting double | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
straight. That will be a high school, it might well propel China | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
above Japan, we will see. -- high school. This one is going right down | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
to the wire in every single way on every single bees of apparatus. | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
Lewis Smith scores a 14.7 66. -- single piece of apparatus. It will | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
drop Great Britain way down the field. The disappointment and | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
dejection on one side of the arena, and absolute elation on the other. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
David Belyavskiy on the floor for Russia. He wraps things up for them. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
And they have really had a good championships. He needs to keep his | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
feet, hold his head. Oh, big step, that was a step out of | :09:33. | :09:45. | |
the floor area. It was a big tumble, though. Half turn into a double | :09:46. | :09:46. | |
front. Oh, that was flat. He did very well | :09:47. | :10:20. | |
to land it. He knows this is the important last tumble. Treble twist, | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
just a hop. He has definitely given his best, Belyavskiy, today. He | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
can't bear to hope, I think. Well, there is still gymnastics left ago, | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
there are still gymnasts performing. We have to wait until the scores | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
coming to know whether or not Russia have been successful, managed to get | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
that team bronze. Oh, it is a big... It was a big step forward to big | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
step out. There is your double twist come back out, very unusual humble. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
-- very unusual humble. Russia's last medal was in Sydney. It was a | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
bronze. So they have had a long, long wait. There is shown along. -- | :11:15. | :11:27. | |
Chen long slang. There is his score, 15.5 66. He is second. Japan then at | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
the moment or in the lead. But until all the gymnastics is over, then we | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
cannot confirm. Russia are waiting with bated breath. For Belyavskiy's | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
school. Max Whitlock's score is now in. It is 15.9 91. As it stands at | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
the moment, it is Japan, China, Great Britain. Where are Russia | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
going to finish? All eyes on the scoreboard. Are they third or are | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
they forth? All teams are waiting nervously. It | :12:10. | :12:23. | |
has been 16 years since Russia have had a medal in 18 final. The judges | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
are just making short -- 18 final. They have gone into second! It is | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
14.66 four Russia. It is a silver medal for the Russians. They have | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
never won a silver medal in the Olympic final. They had a gold in | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
96. And a bronze in 2000. So Japan, for the seventh time in their | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
history, get a gold medal. It's been a long, long wait. 2004 was the last | :12:57. | :13:06. | |
time, but what about that for the young lad, he did everything he | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
could. Russia have the silver medal. Well, China... They have had three | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
golds, they have had three silvers, the last time they got a silver was | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
96. And never a bronze. But this is the first time that China have a | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
bronze in 18 final. What a story for Great Britain. They finished two | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
marks behind China in four. And what a story for Japan, for Uchimura, the | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
one middle that he didn't have in his collection is now that -- the | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
one middle. They have wanted that so badly these last few years. It was a | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
tentative final as well, Chris, they were wondering, half way around, it | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
was only by the second piece, what is going on here? They just managed | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
to keep their composure. The USA finishing fifth. 18 routines, three | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
up, three to count, a lot can happen and a lot did happen. But they | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
awhile, Japan, team Olympic champions ahead of Russia in second | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
in China and third -- that you are. And the British boys should be | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
delighted with that performance. They came out and they really bought | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
every inch of the ways of water every inch. They made their weaker | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
pieces strong and really should be thrilled with the poor for matters. | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
The Chinese team looks really quite deflated. They've been used to | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
coming first for all these years, they came third last year, third | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
again in the Olympics this year. That's right, absolutely. They are | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
the team with the big difficulty, they were the team to beat. But you | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
know, you have to do the work as well. And they made some mistakes. | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
Confirmation of the men's team final here in the Olympics, Japan take the | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
gold ahead of Russia in silver and China snatch the bronze. Great | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
Britain finish fourth, the United States said. -- fifth. | :15:10. | :15:21. | |
What a team final it was, hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
It was heartbreaking, Beth Tweddle is still there. Just desperate that | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
the final rotation should be the pommel horse, Louis Smith's only | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
event, his strongest, obviously, and it should fall to him and | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
unfortunately it didn't come off. He has been such a strong team member | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
for so many years for us, and he had a tough time because he had to wait | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
the whole competition before he could perform. He looked good in the | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
warm up, and unfortunately it didn't work for him today. Was that a | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
factor? Had a pommel horse come higher in the order, it would have | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
been all right, but waiting that long can make you tense? It can do, | :16:07. | :16:15. | |
but Louis is a very experienced gymnast, he knows how to get himself | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
into the zone, so you can always say what if. Looking at the scores, it | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
would still have been very close for them to sneak the bronze. Let's have | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
another look at his routine. Talk us through what he was trying | :16:29. | :16:38. | |
to achieve and what went wrong. They knew they had to increase the start | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
barrier, so they were saying in the commentary box that he had raised | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
the difficulty. He had a good clean start, the scissors to Lohan stand, | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
and the second one again, so it was a really smooth start for him, and | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
then we saw his usual style and class, very smooth rhythm, he has | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
really tidied up over this cycle. You can see he is doing lots and | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
lots of circles, and then it is just after this skill but he'd just | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
loses, his weight is slightly behind him, and he just can't keep control | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
of it. And to be fair, he wasn't the only one. There were gymnasts all | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
over the place on different apparatus making mistakes. It looked | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
like he caught his ankle, and that threw him off. It has been a really | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
exciting evening at the gymnastics, China had a fall, then the USA did. | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
Everyone seems to be handing it to each other, and Great Britain were | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
going steady, it was just unfortunate with that fall at the | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
end. It is so disappointing because I know how hard they have trained, | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
qualification went great for them, we have Louis and Max in the pommel | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
horse final, so I'm sure he will pick himself back up for the finals | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
that they have got. We didn't manage to see Max Whitlock's hobble | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
routine. He will be up against Louis any individual final. How did he go | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
to night? It was a tough job for him, he had to work all six pieces | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
of apparatus, and he still has a couple of finals himself, but he is | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
renowned for this piece, he is world champion and tonight he showed why | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
he was world champion, knowing that Louis had fallen, he still had to do | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
a fantastic routine. He has got a superb class on this piece, using | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
the circles, legs held together the whole time, and then the overall | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
outcome of this routine really did help that team stay in that fourth | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
position. So when he finishes his routine, you can see a big smile on | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
his face and his sense of relief that he has gone all around in the | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
six pieces. Fantastic stuff from Max Whitlock, | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
the world champion in pommel, he will be going later in the week. | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
Beth, you know Louis well, he has suffered before, retired from | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
gymnastics, come back with medals on his mind. How does he pick himself | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
up? He has another four days to go back to the gym, regroup and be able | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
to work on where it went wrong tonight, and the pommel final is on | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
Sunday, so he can let his hair down, chill out a little bit and then come | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
back out fighting. In London he was quite disappointed because he | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
finished with the joint top score, but on the tie-break rule he dropped | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
down to silver, so it will be a great apple between Macs and Louis | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
in that final. Lots of highlights still to come from the gymnastics, | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
we hope. Thank you for joining us, and we will try to catch up with | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
Team GB, they will be desperately disappointed to have missed out on | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
the medal, it is such a narrow margins, and over at the diving, it | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
came down to the very last dive for Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow, the | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
pair who only got together last year in October. This was Tom's third | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
Olympics at only the age of 22, the first down. | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
COMMENTATOR: Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow, the last one. Oh, will | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
it be enough? The Germans are looking on. The British have | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
absolutely nailed it. It looked a little out of sync from a distance, | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
this will be so close. I have no idea which way this is going to go. | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
The Germans are on 438.40 two. My goodness me, they have done | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
everything. Will it be bronze or an agonising fourth-place? I have no | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
idea. We have no idea. Judges, press those keys! They've got it! They | :21:10. | :21:20. | |
have done it. 89.64. We don't need to give you that information now, | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
because they are celebrating, the crowd have seen it, it is Daley and | :21:24. | :21:36. | |
Goodfellow who have just taken the bronze. There they are, bronze | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
medallist in the men's synchronised ten metres platform. It is China, | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
USA and Great Britain. CLARE BALDING: The contrast of | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
emotions all too clear in those shots, but delight, relief and | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
elation for Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow, Olympic medallist, | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
finishing behind the USA and China. Coming down to that sixth and last | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
dive, they were going eighth and last of all the divers. The tension | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
of that moment, ten metres up in an open arena, and they got it | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
absolutely spot on. Let's have a word with the Olympic | :22:16. | :22:29. | |
bronze medallist. Many congratulations. How difficult was | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
it on that last dive in particular? Going into the last round, it is an | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
intense pressure in any competition, but in the Olympic Games, multiply | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
that by a million. You are up there, it is windy, it is cold, and going | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
into the last dive, we were two points ahead of the Germans in the | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
European Championships earlier in the year in London, and they took us | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
out and won the gold medal, and this time we wanted to make sure that | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
didn't happen, and we got back backing got bronze medal. It was a | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
terrific performance. Dan, what we're trying to think going into | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
those closing stages? Obviously I was nervous, but we knew that we | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
were in eighth position, we know that there was going to be pressure | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
on us, and we knew we were going to be the last dive is to go. This was | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
my first Olympics, I didn't know what to expect, but we have dived in | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
this pool before at the World Cup, and I felt that really helped. We | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
stayed in the moment, and we have a medal, I can't believe it! The last | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
place you want to be in a start list is number eight of eight, following | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
the Chinese! We were dealt arrive hand, but we stepped up to the mark, | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
and like Dan said, we stayed in the moment and focused on what we needed | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
to do. Giving you have been diving together for such a short time, Dan, | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
what you put it down to, the success you have achieved so quickly? Simple | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
hard work. We both have similar styles of diving. I made sure I came | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
to London for four weeks before the actual Olympics, and we have never | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
trained harder, so just hard work, and we kept our nerve when other | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
people didn't. And our coaches, Jane, and Mark called ... Yes, I | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
can't thank Mark and Jane enough for coaching me so that I could get here | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
today. And you said after London 2012, you only wanted to enter if | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
you could win a medal. You have done it. When we got put together back in | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
October, we were like, we will see if we can qualify, get a spot for | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
GB, maybe we won't do it, we dived in the World Cup and got the bronze | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
medal, and in every World Series, we were winning medals, and we haven't | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
done a competition since we have been together when we haven't won a | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
medal, so going into this last competition of the season, we have | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
won a medal in every single one, you have to be able to win a medal in | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
this one. I kind of pounced on Dan at the end, I didn't realise we were | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
going backwards until we were in the water. I just went with it, I didn't | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
care any more! You have medals around your neck. It is a terrific | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
performance, Liam Watts to say well done, your mum as well. How was it | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
following the Chinese in their front for the half? They go and score 106, | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
did that lift you, did that put you off? Identikit would have mattered | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
where we were in the list, if we were first or eighth, because we | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
were completely focusing on what we were going to do and at accepting | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
the fact we knew there would be pressure, the Chinese would do an | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
amazing dives and we had to accept that, and just focus on our own | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
dives. If we were worrying about what they were doing, we might have | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
marked up ours as well. We knew there would be pressure going into | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
it. I thought you were going to say well done! I just had to ask that, | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
because it was an incredible performance under such amazing | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
pressure, well done, I am proud of you. | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
And Tom Daley and Goodfellow were not Britain's only bronze medals of | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
the day, Edward Ling won the bronze medal match in the shooting against | :26:25. | :26:37. | |
the former champion, and this is him collecting his bronze medal, a very | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
proud moment, he is 33 years old and comes from Taunton, and his previous | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
two appearances at Olympics or him finish outside the top 20, but he | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
was in top form today. Many congratulations to him. Now, could | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
there be another bronze in the offing for Team GB? We will hear | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
from Edward Ling first. Massive congratulations. To be on an | :26:58. | :27:09. | |
Olympic podium must be incredible. I am speechless, to be honest, I | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
really am. I set a goal to shoot at the 120 Mark, and once you're in the | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
final, anything can happen, and I was over the moon with what I did. | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
You were greeted by Princess Anne, what did she say? She was just | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
giving me congratulations, asking what the conditions were like. It | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
was really good. Conditions were changeable today, and your sport is | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
all about being able to hold your nerve, and you certainly had to do | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
that throughout the rounds, the semifinal, the dramatic shoot off | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
and then the bronze medal. Absolutely, the qualifications were | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
really tough, changeable weather, yesterday we had good sunshine but | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
had two out of the three rounds, we had high wind blowing things | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
everywhere, and today we had cloud rolling with a little bit of sun, so | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
it has been making it really interesting. The rules of the sport | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
have changed in terms of competition format since the last Games. How | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
much is that impacted you or helped? At the end of the day, you just have | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
to move with the times. It is still from me, standing there and shooting | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
the target, so however you have to do that, that is what we will do. | :28:27. | :28:32. | |
Finally, look down at that bronze medal, sum up what it means to you. | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
It is four years of hard work and commitment and time and everything, | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
it all comes down to this. Massive congratulations. Thank you. | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
CLARE BALDING: Great result Edward Ling, and that gives Great Britain | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
their fourth medal of games. They are tenth in the medals table, China | :28:53. | :28:56. | |
adding front ahead of the United States, and Italy are having a very | :28:57. | :29:03. | |
good games. Could Great Britain win a fifth medal? They were in action | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
in the bronze medal match of the women's rugby sevens up against | :29:09. | :29:10. | |
Canada who they beat in the qualification stages. They had a | :29:11. | :29:15. | |
disappointing loss to New Zealand in the semifinals, with two players | :29:16. | :29:17. | |
sent off towards the end of the first half. Let's see if they could | :29:18. | :29:23. | |
do it, this is Great Britain against Canada, with Eddie Butler and Sir | :29:24. | :29:25. | |
Clive Woodward in the commentary box. | :29:26. | :29:38. | |
McClane wins the ball for Britain. Danielle Waterman, under pressure, | :29:39. | :29:53. | |
the ball retrieved, though. A chance now for Abbie Brown. | :29:54. | :30:00. | |
Penalty. In Great Britain's favour. McClane, Joanne Watmore. | :30:01. | :30:21. | |
Waterman's safe hands this time. Abbie Brown. Amy Wilson-Hardy. | :30:22. | :30:35. | |
So, Team GB controlling the ball in these opening minutes. No sooner | :30:36. | :30:46. | |
said... Then the whistle goes. Ten minutes each way in the final. That | :30:47. | :30:52. | |
is quite typical, Eddie. I think this is a classic encounter. We have | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
got the power of the Canadian team, and a lot of power is especially at | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
full-back. Team GB have got a guard more pace, there is no doubt. But we | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
have played the right way, you have got to keep those errors to a | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
minimum. Absolutely overcome the power, especially at scrum time. | :31:12. | :31:17. | |
They have a bit more pace, and we should see this. Looking firm. | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
Farella is away. It is a defensive error on the outside that is going | :31:23. | :31:32. | |
to cost Britain. That is a fabulous tackle by ours Richardson. Great | :31:33. | :31:40. | |
tackle, I have to say, why, why they didn't start with Bianca Farella in | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
all the games, because she is the standout player. Penalty to Canada. | :31:44. | :31:50. | |
There is no doubt they are getting up to this game. Whistle, try, there | :31:51. | :31:56. | |
is going to be a score. Stacey the Canada. -- Ashley Steacy. For | :31:57. | :32:05. | |
Canada. Karen Paquin. It is not Ashley Steacy, it is Karen Paquin. | :32:06. | :32:16. | |
That's good, just. Sometimes you wonder why referees can't see that, | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
that is a different try. Just checking. | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
Back to the Canadians, they are very, very strong at the breakdown. | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
They have a more powerful team than Team GB. They need to get a very | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
quick ball and be technically right on it. You just hope that that lost | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
a couple of hours ago to the New Zealand team is out of the system. | :32:39. | :32:44. | |
Because the emotion after the game was quite noticeable for Team GB, | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
hopefully they have got it out of their system. They started off well, | :32:48. | :32:51. | |
but there are just simple, basic errors. Some of these Canadian | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
players are exceptional players. It was a great pass by Kelly Russell. | :32:56. | :33:02. | |
Again, powerful form. A good forward. Five points become seven. A | :33:03. | :33:12. | |
very good player, had some good games and bad games, but they are | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
the fourth ranked team behind Team GB, we have got the right format | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
teams in the semifinals here. There was nothing conceded in the earlier | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
game between these two. But Great Britain have given await the first | :33:27. | :33:32. | |
try. Safely in the hands of Amy Wilson-Hardy. | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
Not releasing. Penalty. Penalty against Canada. | :33:37. | :33:46. | |
Most of the penalties in the tournaments have been at the | :33:47. | :33:53. | |
breakdown. The referees are very, very tight here. We can see Kelly | :33:54. | :34:04. | |
Muller she. -- Kayla Muller she. That was a tough call. You have to | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
be up on your feet and behind the ball behind the players. The | :34:09. | :34:14. | |
referee, Amy Powell of Australia, was very quick to blow the whistle. | :34:15. | :34:23. | |
Kayla Moleschi well tackled by Kish. Another penalty at the breakdown | :34:24. | :34:24. | |
quickly taken. Another penalty against Canada. | :34:25. | :34:39. | |
Although they have the try, they have given away the penalty. | :34:40. | :34:46. | |
Waterman gets a good hand on it. Danielle Waterman was going to run | :34:47. | :34:55. | |
out of space, but she scores. A wonderful try by Danielle Waterman. | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
But once again, it is the kick. You've got to find space in this | :35:00. | :35:03. | |
game, you can use it with your hands or use the kick. This time it was | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
Alice Richardson with a beautiful kick. Good space, good bouts. | :35:08. | :35:13. | |
Danielle Waterman is coming into the team, the starting team. -- good | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
bounce. Finishes of really, really well. Team GB needed that. | :35:18. | :35:27. | |
A conversion, this is. Katy McLean. She has come back to take the | :35:28. | :35:33. | |
restart kick. Danielle Waterman, excellent finish. This will do the | :35:34. | :35:40. | |
team a lot of good. It is a big pressurised game. It is the | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
semifinals under pressure, even more pressure, a medal or a not -- not a | :35:44. | :35:50. | |
medal. There is a lot of pressure on these women tonight. Amy | :35:51. | :35:59. | |
Wilson-Hardy. The restart is not totally convincing. Penalty not | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
releasing. Canada in possession. Kelly Russell. | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
Farella, John Watson has to be careful. -- Joanne Watmore. Watmore | :36:10. | :36:18. | |
penalised. Quickly taken. Good counter rucking by Watmore. | :36:19. | :36:43. | |
Just delays Canada. Landry... Delayed Landry finds the gap and | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
goes straight through it. -- Ghislaine Landry. They are asking, | :36:51. | :36:54. | |
what went wrong with the defence? The teams have been disappointed | :36:55. | :36:58. | |
with that. It was a real lack of communication. | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
Yes, there was no call from the inside, that was a soft try. Well | :37:04. | :37:16. | |
taken. You have to say that. By Landry, Team GB have really got to | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
concentrate here. It's so important. This is a lot longer game, we still | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
have three minutes ago. It is ten minutes each way in the finals, the | :37:25. | :37:28. | |
play-offs. This is when your mind has got me thinking correctly, you | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
got but calm and think correctly. -- you have got to keep calm. That was | :37:34. | :37:38. | |
a disappointing try from a defensive point of view. Having to step | :37:39. | :37:43. | |
between the two British players. Game on against Canada. | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
Landry, again just put it into the middle zone. Towards Katy McLean. | :37:49. | :38:00. | |
Kelly Russell with height and reach and power above McClane, but it is a | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
penalty to Britain, taken by Alice Richardson. Amy Wilson-Hardy stays | :38:07. | :38:14. | |
up. And it is back to Danielle Waterman. | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
Forward pass. I have to say, the Canadian women are so physical in | :38:19. | :38:28. | |
the breakdown, out of all the games we have seen, including Australia | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
and New Zealand, this is the most physical team at the breakdown, it | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
really is unsettling Team GB. They are really rushing in defence, | :38:37. | :38:40. | |
taking chances, they does want to play the most physical game. And so | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
far, it is absolutely fair. Alice Richardson. She is OK. You just | :38:45. | :38:50. | |
can't have those errors, a simple forward pass. It has undermined Team | :38:51. | :39:01. | |
GB. You don't get to this level, Canada or a very good team. You have | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
to think this through, concentrate and keep hold of the ball, move this | :39:06. | :39:08. | |
big Canadian team around the field. Landry, Jennifer Kessy alongside. In | :39:09. | :39:25. | |
goes Kish. She has got the blindside, Mallusk you, deliberately | :39:26. | :39:28. | |
knocked off. It is a spate of yellow cards. Four Great Britain in the | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
closing stages. Of the women's sevens. Emily Scarratt the captain, | :39:35. | :39:43. | |
off the two minutes. Kelly Russell butterfly. Farella. The driver | :39:44. | :39:49. | |
Canada. Britain in trouble. -- third driver Canada. Britain in trouble. | :39:50. | :39:55. | |
Very simple error by Emily Scarratt. The pressure of the occasion. That | :39:56. | :40:04. | |
was a soft yellow card. Why, why, why? The Canadians have started with | :40:05. | :40:10. | |
Bianca Farella again, she is a real athlete. Six against seven, put the | :40:11. | :40:14. | |
ball to her and she is going to school. This is serious times for | :40:15. | :40:18. | |
Team GB and they have two really have a think about this -- she is | :40:19. | :40:25. | |
going to score. We have to keep the ball and move this big Canadian team | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
around. 95, there is time for the restart. | :40:32. | :40:37. | |
This is where the coach earns his money, just watching down there, he | :40:38. | :40:45. | |
has really got to think this through and stay calm as well. The good news | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
it is a ten minute second-half, but at the moment we have been | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
absolutely smashed off the ball in this first ten minutes. Boundary, | :40:53. | :40:58. | |
looks at if she is going to drop it in the middle of the park again. No, | :40:59. | :41:00. | |
she goes long this time. Again, it is a very scrappy exit. | :41:01. | :41:19. | |
Kelly Russell just scores yet another easy driver Canada. This | :41:20. | :41:26. | |
really is turning into a serious nightmare situation of the Team GB | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
-- easy to write for Canada. They are getting blown away at the | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
breakdown. Unforced error for Richardson. They are not the | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
quickest team, the Canadians, but they are powerful and strong, and | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
physically they have blasted and outmuscled Team GB. We need some | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
real leadership out there now from the captain and the coach, all the | :41:48. | :41:50. | |
players have got to look at each other and go, this is it, it is not | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
over yet. But this is the most important two minutes of these young | :41:56. | :42:01. | |
players' lives. Contrasting emotions on the field. It is only half-time, | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
but Canada have good reason to laugh and smile, and there will be some | :42:06. | :42:12. | |
worried looks in that GB Hubble. -- huddles. | :42:13. | :42:20. | |
Katy McLean, Emily Scarratt, sets the Missoup. But Jennifer Kessy been | :42:21. | :42:30. | |
brilliant. Catching kick-offs -- set off in the shoot. To the extent | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
where you wonder whether they might have chosen somebody else to aim at. | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
It is the strength. You read my thoughts, Kish is absolutely an | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
amazing athlete, don't kick to her. That was a wonderful take. Waterman | :42:46. | :42:52. | |
make the tackle, but Kish is there to recycle, Canada safely in | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
possession. Steacy from Alesi. Emily Scarratt covering backhand, does | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
well to make the tackle -- covering Kayla Moleschi. Wow, that was a must | :43:04. | :43:11. | |
make tackle, she did remarkably well to get across. Again, at the | :43:12. | :43:14. | |
breakdown they didn't have the power. It was the Canadians again. | :43:15. | :43:24. | |
Well, good territorial game. We are going to be looking at the clock | :43:25. | :43:30. | |
now. We have to take these line-outs quickly. Karen Paquin in full flow. | :43:31. | :43:37. | |
Emily Scarratt will appear, all she did, to stop it. -- or she did. Big | :43:38. | :43:46. | |
throw from Danielle Waterman here. Abbie Brown safely delivers. | :43:47. | :43:56. | |
Better presentation at the ruck. McClane. | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
Abbie Brown howled, that will be a penalty for GB. They almost don't | :44:02. | :44:09. | |
like penalties, they just want to smash the opposition players, that | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
is what they are doing, it is really unnerving, the British women | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
tonight. Garrett find a little space down the middle, looks for the | :44:18. | :44:22. | |
off-load. -- Emily Scarratt. It is ever so aggressive. It has worked. | :44:23. | :44:29. | |
Kayla Mallusk you just counter rucking with sheer aggression. -- | :44:30. | :44:36. | |
Kayla Moleschi. Just not playing the game fast enough. Allowing Kayla | :44:37. | :44:41. | |
Moleschi to use all her physical excellence to smash Team GB of the | :44:42. | :44:43. | |
ball. Heather Fisher comes along, Megan | :44:44. | :44:57. | |
Lukan comes on. These are big changes, taking off some of the | :44:58. | :44:58. | |
speed merchants here. Kayla Moleschi to feed the scrum, | :44:59. | :45:32. | |
anyway to get it back in blue hands. They were stopped from taking it | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
quickly, they haven't got that much time, they need to get on with it. | :45:37. | :45:38. | |
Set piece from the penalty. Richardson acting scrum-half. It has | :45:39. | :45:59. | |
suddenly opened up for Danielle Waterman. Help arrives from Amy | :46:00. | :46:09. | |
Wilson-Hardy. Scarratt cuts back against the traffic, get the pass | :46:10. | :46:13. | |
away to Heather Fisher, who goes on a long run. Jasmine Joyce, the | :46:14. | :46:15. | |
speedster, will score. Jasmine Joyce, the Welsh woman, in | :46:16. | :46:35. | |
the English squad. At least, the rest of the squad are English. The | :46:36. | :46:42. | |
one representative from Wales took the chance very quickly. They will | :46:43. | :46:49. | |
take this conversion quickly. Alice Richardson. A ten minute final, six | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
minutes to go. These restarts are critical now. Team GB have to get | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
themselves really organised and Amant this restart with a really | :47:00. | :47:03. | |
good kick, and get some pressure to try to get the ball back. Emilee | :47:04. | :47:13. | |
Cherry at will go up for it, -- Emily Scarratt. This is where they | :47:14. | :47:22. | |
have to be careful with it, but it is well delivered. Oh, out of play. | :47:23. | :47:32. | |
Again, it is the little details that just completely turned the game. We | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
have the ball, by former floor, staying play, don't get knocked into | :47:38. | :47:44. | |
touch. Canada will play slowly here, the clock is starting to really run | :47:45. | :47:49. | |
down. They just need to keep the ball in play. | :47:50. | :47:56. | |
The Canadian forwards have smashed GB at the break down. And they are | :47:57. | :48:07. | |
in no rush to take this line-out. The line-out safely delivered to | :48:08. | :48:14. | |
Landry. Straight up the middle, through one tackle. | :48:15. | :48:26. | |
Karen Paquin delivers it safely. Farella tackled by Emily Scott. They | :48:27. | :48:45. | |
are just winning the ball with ease. Kayla Moleschi hounded by Jasmine | :48:46. | :48:48. | |
Joyce, but she makes the tackle. Natasha Hunt, but again, the error, | :48:49. | :49:17. | |
ball lost in contact. Kisch with an excellent pass. Landry doesn't need | :49:18. | :49:30. | |
Farella, this is the bronze medal try for Landry and the Canada. We | :49:31. | :49:37. | |
heard a lot about Landry before the tournament, she has had a quiet | :49:38. | :49:44. | |
tournament until this game. And just a fantastic player, and you have to | :49:45. | :49:51. | |
say, Canada thoroughly deserve this, and we just haven't been able to | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
recover from the disappointment of the semifinal loss to New Zealand, | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
and this is a shadow of the team that absolutely put this Canadian | :50:00. | :50:00. | |
team to sort only yesterday. Landry the try scorer, conversion | :50:01. | :50:15. | |
QIPCO, it is out of reach now. Canada 33-10 Great Britain. It is so | :50:16. | :50:23. | |
difficult to watch. This is a huge disappointment for Team GB. They | :50:24. | :50:28. | |
would have fancied their chances in this match. To leave the Olympic | :50:29. | :50:33. | |
Games coming forth will take some recovering. Elaine Landry the try | :50:34. | :50:45. | |
scorer. Heather Fisher can only try to catch the kick-off and set up a | :50:46. | :50:53. | |
score to make this less painful. They have brought an Charity | :50:54. | :50:56. | |
Williams, just adding more power and pace to their team. Amy | :50:57. | :51:08. | |
Wilson-Hardy. Another penalty. Canada have given away penalties | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
without worrying about the consequences, because it is all part | :51:13. | :51:19. | |
of the aggression. It is interesting that they made a big point about | :51:20. | :51:25. | |
being strict about contact area, but the yellow card is for pulling | :51:26. | :51:33. | |
shirts and high tackles. Charity Williams gets back to make the | :51:34. | :51:34. | |
tackle. The penalty goes the other way this | :51:35. | :51:41. | |
time. WHISTLE | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
It is difficult to watch. We have an injury. Which will | :51:46. | :51:59. | |
require medical attention. Amy Wilson-Hardy is down. Wearing 12, | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
that is the moment again, look at the break down, look at Jen Kish, | :52:05. | :52:13. | |
just making it awful for Team GB to move the ball away. That should be a | :52:14. | :52:17. | |
yellow card, because this game has been full of penalties at the | :52:18. | :52:21. | |
breakdown. Team GB coach will be shattered with this performance by | :52:22. | :52:22. | |
his team tonight. Megan Lukan, Heather Fisher again, | :52:23. | :52:36. | |
look at that. That is the face of the team that is coming forth. | :52:37. | :52:47. | |
I'm just trying to think where this has gone wrong, but from the opening | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
seconds, the physicality of this Canadian team, Team GB haven't been | :52:54. | :52:58. | |
able to cope with it because we haven't been quick enough to keep | :52:59. | :53:04. | |
the ball moving. You can't arm wrestle with the Canadians, these | :53:05. | :53:07. | |
women are just more powerful than us. | :53:08. | :53:17. | |
It has been a difficult day for Emily Scarratt, the captain. They | :53:18. | :53:25. | |
played so well yesterday to beat Canada in the pool game, to beat | :53:26. | :53:29. | |
Fiji in the quarterfinal, it has been an ordeal today. Last chance | :53:30. | :53:39. | |
for Canada. Quickly, Charity Williams outside, inside, support, | :53:40. | :53:55. | |
too, red shirts everywhere. Megan Lukan, Landry outside her. Clever | :53:56. | :54:05. | |
work by Ghislaine Landry. That is good work by the GB forward. It is | :54:06. | :54:11. | |
Natasha Hunt who gets outside the 22. | :54:12. | :54:19. | |
Within the last minute. Again, the rushing defence of the Canadians, we | :54:20. | :54:31. | |
are just too slow. GB are stuck in their 22, and it is that aggression | :54:32. | :54:37. | |
at the breakdown. Penalty? Know, a scrum put in the Canada. That's it. | :54:38. | :54:44. | |
Canada can take their time. Jen Kish can look on and no that a medal is | :54:45. | :54:53. | |
about to be going around her neck. This is an astonishing turnaround | :54:54. | :54:58. | |
from a side, there is always a danger where you have one side | :54:59. | :55:01. | |
coming in with anything to gain, meaning Canada, because they were | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
hard-fought to get there, and the other side was just so shattered | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
about losing in the semifinals, they have not been able to produce the | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
same performance. This will take some getting over, we really feel so | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
sorry for this team. The hooter goes, Canada will get rid of this | :55:20. | :55:27. | |
through Ghislaine Landry. Arms raised, whistle goes, Canada | :55:28. | :55:34. | |
celebrate. Great Britain slump. Oh, it has been a tough day for the | :55:35. | :55:41. | |
Great Britain team. They finished fourth, but it is Canada that takes | :55:42. | :55:45. | |
the first medal in the rugby sevens. Bronze the Canada. They have beaten | :55:46. | :55:54. | |
Great Britain 33-10. You just have to look at it and say, well done, | :55:55. | :56:03. | |
Canada, the best team won. They blew away Great Britain, and the score | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
does them justice. We could just couldn't cope with the power and the | :56:08. | :56:12. | |
contacts level, a huge disappointment to Team GB, and it | :56:13. | :56:18. | |
will take a lot of courage to come to the Olympic Games, hoping to win | :56:19. | :56:23. | |
a medal, and to leave without one is a bitter disappointment. | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
Try to put the scale of the disappointment into some kind of | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
words? We were not good enough to night. Only teams that are good | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
enough deserve to win medals, we gave it everything but came up | :56:38. | :56:43. | |
short. Can you rationalised in the immediate aftermath how you managed | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
to play two games back to back that word of the quality you would | :56:49. | :56:53. | |
expect? That is sevens. It has happened all year, both men and | :56:54. | :56:58. | |
women, it is a brutal game, we would beat Canada yesterday, fair play to | :56:59. | :57:03. | |
them they came out today and played the way they wanted to and got the | :57:04. | :57:09. | |
result. You use the word brutality, that was a physical game and they | :57:10. | :57:12. | |
are at muscle due in many ways. Canada are always physical, and they | :57:13. | :57:17. | |
brought the game to us. In sevens, if you are on the back foot, you are | :57:18. | :57:23. | |
losing to start with. We gave it everything, we couldn't have done | :57:24. | :57:27. | |
much more, our skill level wasn't up to scratch, that is what happens. | :57:28. | :57:32. | |
That will scar your memories of your first Olympic Games, but has it been | :57:33. | :57:37. | |
a memorable experience for all that? It has been awesome. To bring rugby | :57:38. | :57:43. | |
stirrer stage like this, and to bring women's rugby, if we inspire | :57:44. | :57:49. | |
one girl at home, we have done our job. Pour Emily Scarratt, but she is | :57:50. | :57:55. | |
right, there would be so many people, particularly young girls, | :57:56. | :57:59. | |
watching that sport of thinking, there is a sport I could go to the | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
Olympics, go to our website and find the cap might get Inspired section. | :58:05. | :58:10. | |
Novak Djokovic was in bits yesterday when he lost his opening round match | :58:11. | :58:14. | |
against Juan Martin Del Potro, because even when you are a | :58:15. | :58:17. | |
multimillionaire, you win grand slams all over the world, the | :58:18. | :58:21. | |
Olympics really matter. In the next half an hour, we will be rounding up | :58:22. | :58:24. | |
some of the things that have happened so far on the third day, | :58:25. | :58:26. | |
and here is what we have coming up: We will be seeing what happened to | :58:27. | :58:36. | |
the British diving double act, Tom Daley and Goodfellow, going to sink | :58:37. | :58:47. | |
Rob Lawrie. -- synchronised glory. And the men's gymnastics team were | :58:48. | :58:51. | |
bidding to recreate their London 2012 heroics. | :58:52. | :58:58. | |
It was a busy day for Team GB's rowers, we will bring you the news | :58:59. | :59:10. | |
from there. And an equally eventful day for the British eventing team. | :59:11. | :59:17. | |
You know how strong the wind was at the rowing, but was it good news for | :59:18. | :59:23. | |
the sailors? Britain looking to make waves at the Olympic sailing. We | :59:24. | :59:29. | |
will also be hearing from our latest medallist, the shooter Edward Ling, | :59:30. | :59:34. | |
later in the programme, but I will take you over to the beach, | :59:35. | :59:39. | |
figuratively, with the camera, and Mark Chapman is there with the waves | :59:40. | :59:41. | |
lapping behind him. Waves lapping? It's more like waves | :59:42. | :59:52. | |
crashing at the moment. It is like sitting in a wind tunnel here on | :59:53. | :59:56. | |
Copacabana Beach. I seem to is burned a lot of time talking about | :59:57. | :00:00. | |
the elements. As you said -- I seem to spend a lot of time. The wind | :00:01. | :00:04. | |
spoiled things yesterday for the rowing, so much so that the racing | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
was cancelled for the day. Today, on day three, they had an awful lot of | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
it in. Unfortunately, conditions were a lot, than they are here. | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
There was a golden glow reflecting four years ago after Team GB topped | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
the rowing medals table at London 2012 with a record haul. But how did | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
they fare at the Laguna Stadium today? First up was the men's | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
quadruple sculls. They did enough to qualify for the final on Saturday | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
after finishing second behind the Germans. Then it was onto the ladies | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
eight. They advanced to the final after winning heat two, but will | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
have work to do in the final if they are to beat the Americans, who are | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
going for their third straight Olympic title. Next up it was the | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
men's turn, they won their heat in a record time and beat their Dutch | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
rivals for the muddle by two seconds. They also run into the | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
finals on Saturday. Onto the men's double sculls, Great Britain won, | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
narrowly beating the Bulgarians. GB were surprise winners of the women's | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
lightweight double sculls at London 2012. Sophie Hosking has retired, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
but Kat Copeland returns, now growing with Charlotte Taylor. They | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
had a disappointing heat and finished in fifth place -- now | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
growing. The men had a better showing, Richard Chambers, who won | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
in London was partnered with will Fletcher, they won and advance to | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
the semifinal. Then it was on the semifinal. Then it was onto hot | :01:47. | :01:47. | |
flavour... Favourites the gold, Helen Glover and stunning. They won | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
their heat in a very close finished as they just edged out to Denmark on | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
the line. Finally it was the men's format, such a stable muddle for GB | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
at the Olympics. The quartet of Alex Gregory, George Nash and Constantine | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
alluded are aiming to win gold in this event for the second fifth | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Olympics. They move into the semifinals after winning their heat | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
but they must look out for the Australians who are stronger in this | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
event. Welcome to my wind tunnel, James Cracknell! Let's start with | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
Heather and Helen, unbeaten in 37 races but it was scary at times. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Yeah, the positive is that they are in a position where they could have | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
lost. Having prepared so long for these games, the then be losing and | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
put their ties for four, a lot of crews would have panicked, they | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
didn't panic, they won. But the way that they wrote, they were way too | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
high, normally the more strokes you need the faster they go -- the way | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
they rode. More strokes per minute, every stroke you wrote you must go | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
faster. They have been away for a few weeks now, they may have gone | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
down and reversed at it pretty quick before the semifinal. You think they | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
may have tried something different in a camp, in the same way that a | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
golfer may try something different with a swing? Every athlete wants to | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
progress. And in rowing, you only race four times a year. A lot of it | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
is about how you race on your own. Over the last week we think, we want | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
to improve for the Olympics, we don't want to stand also we try | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
something different. You are not competing against another power, you | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
are competing against other boats. They may have slightly beard off on | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
weight and now will backtrack to where they were before -- beard of | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
one-way. Is it a good thing to have a little bit of a scare. It | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
massively helped that there is a semifinal before the final, if they | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
had gone straight through to the final they would have had no chance | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
to buy did into practice in a competitive environment. They have a | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
semifinal in which they can learn from what happened in the heat. The | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
bottom line is that they won. In all of this, that shouldn't be | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
forgotten. I would be very much nit-picking. We are nit-picking, but | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
the good thing is that no matter how much we and it's picking now and how | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
negative I may sound now, they will be much harder on themselves, that | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
is why they are way they are. They are ruthless about it and to each | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
other, but they put it to bed and move on. You described the men's | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
four display as impressive and scary, was it a significant | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
performance, come parable to Adam Peaty in his 400 metres | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
breaststroke? They are the most powerful four athletes in the field. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
And in the rowing world. It is not like they are a boxer without any | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
technique. They have a real combination of the two. They were | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
not put under any pressure today. They have a very solid rhythm. Even | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
if the conditions had been nasty, but if you have got a rhythm, a | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
bullet-proof rhythm and strength, you can cope with the conditions. If | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
I were looking, I would say, what is their weakness? Food poisoning, | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
maybe? I know you want a word on the men's eight, who you found equally | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
impressive? There is a number of reasons why, firstly, they are world | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
champions, the men's four have been taken out and put into a four. The | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
new men's eight, the racing, the German best eight athletes and the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Dutch best eight athletes, today they demolished the Dutch, really. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
The Dutch took them to the cleaners. Now the Dutch have got to do an | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
extra race, our boys have got to work on things they need to work on | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
and get ready to take on the Germans. Thank you, James Cracknell. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Let's round-ups of the day's other headlines. -- round up some of the | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
day. It was a successful day for the Brits in the canoe slalom. David | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
Florence and Richard Hounslow qualified third fastest for the sea | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
to semifinals. Fiona Penney made similarly easy work of booking her | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
spot in the K-1 semis. In the tennis, Johanna Konta on her | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
second-round match against Caroline Garcia in straight sets. But | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
team-mate Kyle Edmund went out at the same stage, losing to Japan's | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
Taro Daniel. And Great Britain's women kicked off their campaign with | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
victory over Australia in their opening match. The good news is they | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
have just made it 2-2 with a three null win over India -- with a 3-0 | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
win. Get inspired is a campaign to help | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
you get active. It is on the BBC sport website, you can find | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
inspirational stories from people just like you, as well as hints, | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
tips, and practical guides to give something a go. There is also an | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
activity calendar to help you find something to try near you. You can | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
tell us how you're getting gone, and ask us questions on Twitter and | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Facebook. -- how you're getting gone. Maybe you can inspire somebody | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
else to give it a try. Just get up, get inspired and get active. One of | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
Britain's Mason successful sports in 2012 -- most successful sports was | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
equestrian. That team four years ago included William Fox-Pitt, he has | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
been a stalwart of the eventing team funnily 20 years. But his selection | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
this time around was not guaranteed, because back in October he had a | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
horrible fall that left him in an induced coma. He was selected, | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
Britain's flat in fourth, cat dance can tell us what happened over a | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
very tough cross-country course. A test of injuries, courage and | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
concentration for the man who defied the odds. Ten months on from a fall | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
which shall act him in a coma, William Fox-Pitt came into the | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
cross-country in the lead after the dressage with Great Britain fourth | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
in the team competition. So far, so good. But the trials of the Olympic | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
course took their toll. Gemma Tattersall first out for Britain, 40 | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
penalties and a tumble down the standings. A terrible start for | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Britain. Australia's Christopher Burton had been lurking in second | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
after the dressage. A faultless ride today propelled him into the gold | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
medal position. What a brilliant havoc. 37.6, William, if he wants to | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
stay in the lead, has to do exactly the same. William Fox-Pitt and | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Chilli Morning started well. Horse and rider looking sharp until Chilli | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Morning changed his mind at fence 20. He didn't present. An individual | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
medal slipped away. Defending Olympic champions Michael Young and | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Sam made it look easy, though. Penalty free and up into second. -- | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Michaeljohn. Human beings as this horse brilliantly. -- he manoeuvres | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
this horse. Britain's woes were to continue. Pepper funnel and believe | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
the bid rigging up late penalties. Just didn't get the perfect strike. | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
Now there is 20 added. Being beaten by the clock, chances are the team | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
medal now fading. In contrast, the Australians were flying. Stuart | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Tilly does the couple of seconds over the time to strengthen the | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
team's grip on the top spot. The Australians are looking invincible | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
at the moment. Could Kitty King salvage Britain's bay with a | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
desperately needed clear round? It wasn't to be. A late refusal and | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
pine penalties pushed Britain further still from the medals Baz | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
from fourth to seventh. Jamal Price of New Zealand catapulted them up to | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
seventh. The show jumping the gun, but for Britain, the chances of | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
medals tomorrow are looking at best and likely -- show-jumping to come. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
STUDIO: It is going to be very tough, surprising that Germany not | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
an medal position, they were favourites coming into this | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
competition. The show-jumping phase is still to come. Normally when I | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
hand over the chapters on the beach, I'm envious. But not tonight, Mark. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
Everything looks beautifully calm and so Riwai you are. It is very, | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
very windy here on Copacabana. It is to a glorious night. Just behind me | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
you might be able to seek there is a fitness class going on behind me. | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
And yes, I don't need all the tweet saying that maybe I should go and | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
join it! Britain won their first gold-medal last night through Adam | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
Peaty, and earlier this evening, the hosts had the chance to do the same. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
It was with the 57 kilo judoka. Rafael Da Silva, who was brought up | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
in one of Rio's most notorious favelas where violence was an | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
everyday occurrence, just five miles away from the scene of that tough | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
upbringing, the 24-year-old had a chance to write herself in the | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
Brazilian folklore. She faced the top seed of Mongolia. | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, it is gold-medal time, and the lady in the | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
blue, Rafael Da Silva of Brazil, a 24-year-old from right here in Rio. | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
She has the entire home crowd behind her. Her opponent is the hot | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
favourite, the number one in the world. This is going to start at 100 | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
mph. They really are going to go for it. They have got to be absolutely | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
revved up with this crowd. Oh, my goodness me. Da Silva took | :12:06. | :12:20. | |
her backwards. Her opponent went for a foot sweep, and Rafael Da Silva | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
used her hands to drive her down onto the mat. You can't see it, but | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
on the right of da Silva there is a tattoo and a message in Portuguese | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
that says, only God knows how much I've suffered and what I have done | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
to get here. Well, he does know and we can all see it and we will | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
certainly all hear it and feel it if she can hang on here. There's really | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
nothing that can happen in three seconds from here. Let's count it | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
down. Brazil in front! Oh, what a magnificent moment. Rafael da Silva | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
wins gold. Wow, that was absolutely amazing. | :13:00. | :13:13. | |
Olympic champion in her home country. Wow, it doesn't get much | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
better than that. As that was taking place I was walking along Copacabana | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
to come to the studio. And I know you might be seeing lots of empty | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
seat at various venues back home, but the bars and restaurants here on | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Copacabana were packed this evening, and they all had that on the screen. | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
The atmosphere when she won gold was sensational. They are loving their | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
sport and getting into the Olympics here in Rio de Janeiro. We are going | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
to talk sailing very shortly. But next we are going to go to the | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
shooting range, where there was high hopes the Team GB on day three | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
thanks to Ed Ling. Ed Ling, and up against him, David | :13:53. | :14:20. | |
Costa Leckie of the Czech Republic. This is a format, there is time to | :14:21. | :14:33. | |
turn this round, a strong start, the pressure back on Ling. It is one | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
apiece after two shots. David Kostelecky misses, no chance | :14:41. | :15:18. | |
to switch off for these athletes. Three misses now the David | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
Kostelecky. And if the man from Taunton carries on like that, he | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
might be going home with the bronze. That is four misses for David | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
Kostelecky, and a three shot cushion for Ed Ling. If he just keeps going, | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
he may have this wrapped up with several shots to go. But that is a | :15:42. | :15:54. | |
mess. Kostelecky nailed that one, a tricky match off to the right. If Ed | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
Ling can just keep his calm, the bronze is his. Kostelecky has to | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
take this one, and does. Two, the gap, two to shoot. Ed Ling can wrap | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
up the bronze if he takes this one. And he does! Ed Ling of Great | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
Britain takes the bronze medal here in Rio in the trap competition. He | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
is absolutely delighted. Just look down at that medal and sum | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
up what it means to you. Four years of hard work, commitment and time, | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
it all comes down to this. And he now flies home on Wednesday to bring | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
the harvest in on the farming Taunton. Let's talk about the | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
sailing, the first day today, and Shirley Robinson is with me. Let's | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
deal with the RS X class first, windsurfing with Nick Dempsey. He | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
had a good day. It was a great day, to firsts and a second, I was | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
worried about him until a few months ago, and it all seems to come | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
together, he has a silver from London on the bronze from our | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
friends, he is a proper all-rounder. It was a great breeze today. You are | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
in the windiest spot, I tell you. He is a proper all-rounder, a great | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
tactical sailor when things are tricky, and I have amazing hopes for | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
him based on today's performance. Will he be one of those who just | :17:32. | :17:41. | |
peeks at the right time? I think he will. He was unlucky not to win all | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
three races. As far as Bryony Shaw is concerned in the women's, she is | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
the current world number one, and we have spoken a lot about conditions | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
in the water and various things, they affected her today. She had a | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
proper shocker, the first race not a great start, you can see how halfway | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
down the line, ended up with a load of other windsurfers locked into | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
trouble. But she did manage to pull back and finish seventh, but her | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
main problem came in the next race. A bit of nerves, trying to hard, she | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
really believes she can this gold medal, and having underperformed in | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
the first race, came out, tried for a tricky start, and she caught her | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
thin on the anchor line of the committee boat and capsized, so a | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
proper shocker, in the third race she caught a bag on her thin and she | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
capsized. But there are a lot more races left, she is fitter than I | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
have ever seen her, and she really wants this, so tonight will be hard | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
for her, but she will come out fighting tomorrow. So if she can | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
have a bit of luck, things can turn around? This is a hard venue, every | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
condition you can imagine, and she is a good all round her, and when | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
she gets her head in gear, she will fly. Nick Thompson in the men, Ali | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
Young in the women, talk about them. Nick Thompson in the men's | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
single-handed, he has won the worlds the last two years, they had a | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
mediocre day, but so did the rest of the fleet. Here he is going around | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
the mark. He will be frustrated he was made fleet. He is 11 after two | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
races, and Ali Young is 13th. Nick is great when it gets difficult, and | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
he will knuckle down and come back from there. Tomorrow is the next | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
exciting day. Giles Scott, who is the new Ben Ainslie, will kick-off, | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
and he has been essentially unbeaten for four years. He lost one event | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
because his rudder fell off my he is head and shoulders above everyone, | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
he has this incredible calm head. If there is one in sailing, one dead | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
cert, it is him. It is a good job we are surrounded by a lot of wood | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
here, we will touch all of that! He will get under way tomorrow, and he | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
has properly raised the bar, he was ready in London 2012 but got beaten | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
by Ben Ainslie in the trials, so had to watch that Olympics knowing he | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
was world class, but now it is his time to shine. Thank you very much, | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
that is something to look out for tomorrow. | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
CLARE BALDING: We can't wait to see Giles Scott get into action, we have | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
gathered a crowd here because I have a gymnast sat with me. Dan Keating, | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
you had to watch your team-mates today agonisingly missed out on the | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
bronze medal. Just explain what happened at the end? We went into | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
the last piece, which was pommel horse, our strongest piece of | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
apparatus, we have Louis Smith and Max Whitlock, and Louis came off | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
halfway through his routine. It looked like he came off balance, | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
they were going for broke and they wanted that medal, and unfortunately | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
it didn't pay off today. It looked as if he just caught his ankle and | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
it unbalanced him. As he went up into the handstand, even from now it | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
looked like it was going quite smoothly, he was staying on, and it | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
looked like it would go through. He goes up into the handstand here, | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
everything is looking fine, and as he comes down, he is leaning | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
backwards, he tries to fight it, clips his ankle and comes off. If | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
that routine had been clean, do you think written would have won the | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
bronze medal? I still don't think it would have been enough. He would | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
have had to score something huge, something he has never scored | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
before, around 16.2, to equal what the Chinese gymnast got, so I don't | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
think it would have been enough anyway. That definitely puts it in | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
the context, and hopefully that will put him in the right frame of mind | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
for the individual pommel horse final against Max Whitlock, he has | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
just under week. Thank you to Dan for explaining what happened. Now | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
let's on diving, we had a relatively new pair of Tom Daley and Dan | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
Goodfellow in the ten metres synchronised. | :22:28. | :22:47. | |
The men's synchronised ten metre platform final. | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
The first dive for the Brits. A solid start from our boys, joint | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
third after round one, Daley and Goodfellow. | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
They have been working really hard on this, and I would omit that isn't | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
quite as good as I have seen it in training. They are still in it. | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
China moving clear. Let's go, boys. It was much better | :23:24. | :23:37. | |
in training the other day, and I thought they had it down then. They | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
are still in medal contention. You can see the splash coming up on | :23:40. | :23:55. | |
you can hear the frustration in my voice. There are still in this | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
fight, and that is exactly what it is, it is a fight. | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
Second and third are still very much up for grabs, and these two can grab | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
it. Yes, that's the best dive this pair have done today! Unwavering, an | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
faltering, unflappable, unbelievable. Chen and lay now the | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Olympic champions beyond a shadow of a doubt. This will have to be | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
spot-on, it will have to be so, so good. | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
Will it be enough? The Germans are looking on. The British have | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
absolutely nailed it. This is going to be so close. I have no idea which | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
way this is going to go. They've done it! They have done it. It's | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
Daley and Goodfellow who use up the Germans with their very last dive. | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
Daley and Goodfellow are bronze medallists. | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
CLARE BALDING: And those images will adorn an awful lot of back pages of | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
your news pages this morning. Dan Goodfellow is with me, the bronze | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
medal is hanging around your neck. It is heavy. It is, Tom said it is | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
heavier than the one he won in London. It looks amazing. It does. | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
And in your heart, in your head, what is going on right now? I am | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
still in a bit of shock. I knew we had a good shot of a medal going | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
into the competition, but we just said, we would give it our best and | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
see what happens. We have got a medal in every competition we have | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
done so far, so the odds looks great, and we managed to follow the | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
high Chinese pair, but it was worth it all in the end, and it paid off. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
You had such a tough draw, going last of all, straight after the | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
Chinese who are so good, and way out in front in the end. When you are | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
climbing those steps to the ten metre board and you are thinking, | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
this is our last dive, we will either win a medal or we will come | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
away with nothing. Obviously I was nervous, but Tom has been a mentor | :26:13. | :26:23. | |
to me, and he said today in the moment, concentrate on the drive, -- | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
the dive, you will get the result. There is no point in thinking about | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
what the others are doing. The cheering was loud but I managed to | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
hold my nerve, really happy. And then he into the pool to say thank | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
you! I wasn't really expecting that, and I wasn't ready for it, but I'm | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
sure he was as happy as I was, we were over the moon. He has 11 days | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
before his ten metre platform final. Have you got anything left or can | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
you enjoy the games? I am done now, I haven't got the individual. He has | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
that left, which he is looking, really, really good. I definitely | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
fancy his chances for a medal in that, but he is going to have a | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
break from the village. I am free now to do what I want, but I will be | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
rooting for the rest of the team, we still have two synchro events left. | :27:14. | :27:23. | |
And chances for more medals? We could medal in both of the next two | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
events, we have a couple of great individual divers, Tom Beere one, | :27:29. | :27:36. | |
who could definitely get a medal,. And you are a fabulous addition to | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
the team, well done, keep that medal on. | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
Thank you very much. If you're with us earlier on, you would have seen | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
Great Britain lose 33-10 to Canada in the rugby sevens, and we can show | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
you what happened in the final between Australia and New Zealand. | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
Australia were the favourites before the tournament, and they have won | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
the first-ever rugby sevens gold medal, beating New Zealand, who beat | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
Britain in the semifinal, 24-17. Their tries came from Emma Tonegato, | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
Charlotte Caslick and Yvonne you believe Tay. So they were sat... | :28:14. | :28:22. | |
That isn't the final one, but they are the try scorers, and Australia | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
have the gold medal. The men's rugby sevens gets under way tomorrow. | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
Let's have a look at the medals table as it stands now. There are | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
still events to come, swimming later tonight. China are out in front, | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
level on gold medals with Australia but have more total medals. Great | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
Britain in tenth with one gold, one silver and two bronze medals. James | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
Guy is one of our swimmers tonight in the pool, he will be going in | :28:55. | :28:58. | |
lane eight of the 200 metres, he just qualified to get into that | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
final. Clover South Africa only just snuck in as well, he is in lane one. | :29:04. | :29:09. | |
That is at 2:20am your time. For a full round-up of all the swimming | :29:10. | :29:12. | |
finals, it goes out tomorrow morning with Helen Skelton and the team. | :29:13. | :29:19. | |
Shortly you will see some boxing action coming up, and everything | :29:20. | :29:22. | |
else happening here as we head into the evening in Rio. But from us, by | :29:23. | :29:29. | |
goodbye. | :29:30. | :29:32. |
