:00:54. > :01:06.Good afternoon. Day three of Olympic dawn. Rio is shrouded in mist. There
:01:07. > :01:10.is still a Golden glow to proceedings today because Great
:01:11. > :01:15.Britain is off and running on the medal table and how after an utterly
:01:16. > :01:20.emphatic, utterly dominant performance from 21-year-old swimmer
:01:21. > :01:24.Adam Peaty, Uttoxeter's finest looked every inch the thoroughbred
:01:25. > :01:30.Olympic champion in the men's 100 metre breaststroke.
:01:31. > :01:41.A young man stands on the brink, about to complete the chain's last
:01:42. > :01:46.link. A minute's journey from boy to man, cheered on by hashtag Olympic
:01:47. > :01:57.Noun. To swim is to be at one with water. Muscles peaking, giving no
:01:58. > :02:01.quarter. Submerging yourself alone in a crowd, a merging head proud and
:02:02. > :02:06.bowed. Tonight is a whole lifetime's work, devouring pressure with a
:02:07. > :02:11.determined smirk. World records are just stepping stones, 57.55 from
:02:12. > :02:24.Peaty in this Olympic gold medal Game Of Thrones. A normal superstar
:02:25. > :02:27.from Uttoxeter. Gladiator in a and the theatre. From other nations, you
:02:28. > :02:33.hear this entry to, oh, why can't we have Adam Peaty?
:02:34. > :02:40.Here he is, Great Britain's Adam Peaty. He needs this to join the
:02:41. > :02:45.most exclusive club in the world. Absolutely phenomenal from Great
:02:46. > :02:48.Britain's Adam Peaty. There are oceans of clear blue water between
:02:49. > :02:55.Adam Peaty and the rest of the world. He is bringing this home and
:02:56. > :03:05.it is absolutely Balint. Adam Peaty takes home gold. 57.13. Again, he
:03:06. > :03:16.has obliterated the world record. Adam Peaty of Great Britain. Wow,
:03:17. > :03:22.you have delivered it when it counted and in some style.
:03:23. > :03:28.The first medal for Great Britain and the first medal for Adam Peaty
:03:29. > :03:33.in his first Olympic Games. He looked so composed in his very first
:03:34. > :03:37.games. Four years ago he was tenth in that event in the national
:03:38. > :03:41.championships and was a member of the junior team. Significant I think
:03:42. > :03:46.that he has watched what was going on in London and has waited for his
:03:47. > :03:51.chance here in Rio and has taken it. He did so in front of his mum, dad
:03:52. > :04:04.and sister at the aquatic centre. And watching back home in Uttoxeter
:04:05. > :04:06.was his Nan, Olympic Nan as she is now known on her Twitter handle.
:04:07. > :04:13.There she is watching last night. She had lots of cameramen in her
:04:14. > :04:18.house for company. Meanwhile, in the Team GB headquarters, Asha Philip
:04:19. > :04:22.took this video. They missed a moment because the video they
:04:23. > :04:27.watched on the Olympic was buffering when he touched the wall. But they
:04:28. > :04:36.know it now, he got the gold. Everybody totally thrilled. Adam was
:04:37. > :04:44.saying what it was like to become an Olympic champion.
:04:45. > :04:50.Crazy. Adam, fantastic, your parents are up there, they have gone
:04:51. > :04:55.absolutely crazy. Give them a wave. The whole nation is watching you
:04:56. > :05:08.tonight. Disclose the rail to get Team GB's -- it is so surreal to get
:05:09. > :05:12.Team GB's first gold. I gave everything I have got. It is
:05:13. > :05:16.everything which has got you down for these past three years but more
:05:17. > :05:22.importantly, I have done it for my country because it means so much to
:05:23. > :05:27.me. And Mel, you and have been a couple for so many years. You have
:05:28. > :05:31.had disappointment in the past but she will not care one iota. She is
:05:32. > :05:38.one of the best coaches in the world. She understands the character
:05:39. > :05:42.and she understands everyone is different. Coming out tonight, she
:05:43. > :05:49.did not have to get me pumped up because I knew this arena would be
:05:50. > :05:53.perfect for me. I thought, I am actually winning, I actually getting
:05:54. > :05:58.an Olympic gold and that is what carried me for every stroke.
:05:59. > :06:03.Well done, enjoy your moment. An extraordinary performance, it really
:06:04. > :06:09.was. It is hard to underestimate how good that was. And with Jazz Carlin
:06:10. > :06:14.taking the silver in the very next race which we will be reflecting on
:06:15. > :06:18.a little bit later, it is interesting to note, that for all
:06:19. > :06:23.the returning champions and medallists from London 2012, it is
:06:24. > :06:27.the first timers who have made the first breakthrough here in Rio. We
:06:28. > :06:32.are off and running. It will be interesting to see how many more
:06:33. > :06:41.more will follow the lead. We will be hitting the heights with the ten
:06:42. > :06:55.metres diving synchro. Gymnastics, a very big day.
:06:56. > :07:02.Great Britain have got New Zealand in the semifinals of the rugby
:07:03. > :07:07.sevens later. Shooting, we have the men's trap, Ed Lynn inspired by what
:07:08. > :07:16.Pete Wilson did in London 2012. -- Ed Ling. And in the winning post
:07:17. > :07:20.that 100 metres breast stroke, Ruta Meilutyte knows it will be tough if
:07:21. > :07:26.she's going to hold onto her title from four years ago. Maybe we should
:07:27. > :07:31.be renaming this programme the lunch break Olympics. If you are taking a
:07:32. > :07:34.sneaky peek at the Olympics in your lunch break, you will be able to
:07:35. > :07:38.follow what is going on for the rest of the day. You're not alone in
:07:39. > :07:43.working because at last, we are underway if the rowing. We had a
:07:44. > :07:48.complete day of because the conditions were far too windy. Sir
:07:49. > :07:53.Steve Redgrave and John Inverdale, happily, you are at work again, good
:07:54. > :07:59.morning to you. Barely work but there is no wind which is the key
:08:00. > :08:03.thing so we are ready to go. All the boats which have not started yet
:08:04. > :08:07.will be racing today and some people going through the ropes as well.
:08:08. > :08:10.Monday was always going to be a small programme and now it is quite
:08:11. > :08:17.a bit programme but we will be back on schedule by the end of the day.
:08:18. > :08:20.The women's eight have already road and we will show you that but it is
:08:21. > :08:23.the men's eight coming up now and realistically, if we had a list of
:08:24. > :08:28.potential gold medal boats, this would probably be third on the list
:08:29. > :08:34.so it is the first time to see them in action. They had a mixed season
:08:35. > :08:40.but so have the field. The Dutch have been the outstanding eight of
:08:41. > :08:45.the year but in training, it has been going on par with the coxless
:08:46. > :08:46.four so they must be going well. It will be good to see them coming down
:08:47. > :08:57.the course. Well, there are nine men in that
:08:58. > :09:02.boat obviously and the Coxes Arcade and Garry Herbert knows all about
:09:03. > :09:09.that. Were you talking about me in the
:09:10. > :09:15.commentary position? This is going to get exciting here now. Four
:09:16. > :09:22.boats, one to go through. There is the British crew. Netherlands in
:09:23. > :09:26.lane one, Britain in lane two, we should be watching New Zealand to
:09:27. > :09:35.have been the real pros here undefeated in Lucerne and the other
:09:36. > :09:48.World Cup regatta. Great Britain rely on two champions from 2012.
:09:49. > :10:00.They will be under starter 's orders very shortly. One to go through,
:10:01. > :10:13.everything to race for. Here we go. One of the most exciting races out
:10:14. > :10:17.there in the regatta competition. Rate Britain, lane number three. It
:10:18. > :10:21.goes from silence to pure joy of noise and power, sprinting, as the
:10:22. > :10:35.crews leave the start area. A smart crew, New Zealand. They have
:10:36. > :10:40.not challenged the British crew this year but they are in and amongst it
:10:41. > :10:46.in the early stages of the first 100 metres. The two crews to watch are
:10:47. > :10:47.the Netherlands and Great Britain in lane three. The Netherlands have
:10:48. > :11:00.found some form this year. We see the bowels of Great Britain
:11:01. > :11:06.in lane number three. The added drive for the Dutch crew is 20 years
:11:07. > :11:11.ago, 20 years ago since the Dutch last won the Olympic regatta in the
:11:12. > :11:17.men's eight and that has been the motivation which they have been
:11:18. > :11:18.drawing on. Great Britain are moving the quickest. Looking nice and
:11:19. > :11:28.relaxed. A good rhythm. Not shabby at all from Phelan Hill
:11:29. > :12:05.as the Cox. The Dutch cannot allow the British
:12:06. > :12:11.crew to slip like this. There is Pete Reed going through the picture.
:12:12. > :12:14.Getting to the danger zone here. It is getting to the point where Great
:12:15. > :12:24.Britain will break free from the chasing pack. At the moment, Britain
:12:25. > :12:31.having it all their own way. You don't get that for free. You do not
:12:32. > :12:39.want to get through in anything much overall 120, because you have not
:12:40. > :12:45.got time to make up for a mistake. The Dutch traditionally have a
:12:46. > :12:48.strong second half. For the moment, our boys are able to match any move
:12:49. > :13:05.the Dutch make. The Dutch are now under pressure from
:13:06. > :13:11.New Zealand. If you watch the boat, the blades come out and the boat
:13:12. > :13:15.runs nicely. The crew or onto the next stroke. There is no wobble
:13:16. > :13:20.about it at all. A good speed here. The pressure is coming not from the
:13:21. > :13:24.Netherlands in lane number one, but the pressure and overlap is coming
:13:25. > :13:36.from New Zealand in lane number four. The crucial thing is the boys
:13:37. > :13:40.know the best four athletes are in and they have the confidence that
:13:41. > :13:45.they are the best. The Dutch beat the Germans who were the Olympic
:13:46. > :14:00.champions who are coming in the next heat.
:14:01. > :14:08.Italy in lane number two are really struggling. They got here by virtue
:14:09. > :14:15.of a last-minute invitation qualification due to the Russian
:14:16. > :14:19.issue. The Dutch have responded. They have shown some of their early
:14:20. > :14:25.seasonal form and come back through but this is not where they would
:14:26. > :14:31.have hoped to be. They are a length down on the Brits and the length is
:14:32. > :14:35.a huge margin. Great Britain are the world champions from the last three
:14:36. > :14:36.years in different combinations, they continue to lead the world here
:14:37. > :14:49.in this opening heat. Went the stern pair of the British
:14:50. > :15:05.eight are on form, they fly, don't they, James? They do.
:15:06. > :15:16.He was... The attitude they have got to have, they have to be prepared to
:15:17. > :15:25.risk bronze and silver to win gold. They have the power and rowing to
:15:26. > :15:30.back it up. It's OK to cruise. There's going to be no big comeback
:15:31. > :15:37.from New Zealand. Very important to get the top spot behind the winners
:15:38. > :15:42.here. They can't let up. There will be no fireworks today because they
:15:43. > :15:46.have qualified directly through to the final with that impressive first
:15:47. > :15:53.1000 metres and Great Britain go through to the eights final. All
:15:54. > :15:58.looking very good for GB on the rowing side so far. There will be a
:15:59. > :16:01.real disappointment for the Netherlands, who the focus was on,
:16:02. > :16:08.coming into the regatta, undefeated in the World Cup season. There I say
:16:09. > :16:16.it, to use a cliche, back to the drawing board a bit for Netherlands?
:16:17. > :16:21.Great Britain, well, Great Britain and Germany will have two
:16:22. > :16:27.wait-and-see on the next hit. That was the textbook way to rove. Lead
:16:28. > :16:32.from the start, dominate through the middle and just sit back and watch
:16:33. > :16:36.the other two battle it out. That will give them confidence and
:16:37. > :16:41.something to work on. They can choose what to work on over the next
:16:42. > :16:47.few days for the final. Rather than thinking, we didn't do that well...
:16:48. > :16:55.They ticked every box and now it's a case of making the boxes slightly
:16:56. > :17:04.better. New Zealand, well, only a couple of changes over the period.
:17:05. > :17:08.They've shown some good form here. They fight another day in the rapid
:17:09. > :17:20.charge but they led from the start, Great Britain. One more race, just
:17:21. > :17:24.one more race. STUDIO
:17:25. > :17:28.I suppose the great thing about all sports, Steve, is that when people
:17:29. > :17:35.make it look easy, it does look easy. It shows that the training of
:17:36. > :17:38.the last six weeks has been paying off. I was always a bit concerned
:17:39. > :17:42.with the Dutch because they don't normally like coming in as
:17:43. > :17:48.favourites, they like coming in under the radar. They got better
:17:49. > :17:53.again during this series of races but they came in here as such firm
:17:54. > :17:57.favourites to win everything so far, I was sure they were going to cope
:17:58. > :18:01.with that well. It was actually good to see the dominance of our guys and
:18:02. > :18:06.they looked very relaxed as they turned round and paddled away. It's
:18:07. > :18:11.not a mill pond by any manner or means, but it's very calm. It looked
:18:12. > :18:16.very calm from here but there is movement in the water all the time.
:18:17. > :18:19.The first day we came down here, we saw the crews training and paddling
:18:20. > :18:25.around and none of them looked sparkling. Because of the depth,
:18:26. > :18:29.because of the size of the lake, whatever breeze there is, it does
:18:30. > :18:36.make an impact. But they were looking a lot better than they were
:18:37. > :18:39.three days ago. We saw another hit, where we're going to see the
:18:40. > :18:44.Australian women in a moment, but the Italian eight in that race
:18:45. > :18:49.coming off the back of the Russians being eliminated, it must be very
:18:50. > :18:55.difficult almost getting the call in the week of the Games, saying, I
:18:56. > :19:02.know you guys have been lying on a beach for the last week or so, but
:19:03. > :19:07.do you fancy coming to the Olympic Games? Not surprising they tailed
:19:08. > :19:10.off towards the end. They had this process, they came to Henley race
:19:11. > :19:13.and they did not do too well there because their season was over, and
:19:14. > :19:19.then you get this call-up to come to the Olympics. I'm actually quite
:19:20. > :19:25.pleased to see that the boats who got the call-up are not doing that
:19:26. > :19:31.well because we train every day and not had any days of, and if you can
:19:32. > :19:34.have a few weeks off and then come back and do well, surely that is the
:19:35. > :19:38.key! Though I'm quite pleased in some ways that they did not produce
:19:39. > :19:44.their top performance. The Australians did not fall into that
:19:45. > :19:49.category, and this is where the Great Britain crew were in action.
:19:50. > :19:53.COMMENTATOR: New Zealand in Lane two, Great Britain in number three.
:19:54. > :19:58.They will never have a better opportunity in terms of it all
:19:59. > :20:07.coming together for them to qualify direct for the eight final. The
:20:08. > :20:13.first 100 is out. They are driving this well, a pretty consistent
:20:14. > :20:17.season. They are the from earlier in the year. All of that goes into the
:20:18. > :20:21.pot, all of it becomes what we're seeing in front of us now and laying
:20:22. > :20:29.it down and the British crew can do that. Karen Bennett has moved into
:20:30. > :20:36.this crew. They have put in a good focus, the British team, in making
:20:37. > :20:43.this work now. Polly Swan, former world champion back in 2013, she
:20:44. > :20:52.brings experience, power and wisdom. Fran Houston, she has come into this
:20:53. > :21:02.formally in the sculling group. Between them they call themselves
:21:03. > :21:07.the sassy eight and we need all of that now to get into the
:21:08. > :21:17.. These are crews that are all used medalling. To it's going to be one
:21:18. > :21:27.less race through and I think it will be a humdinger. They can prove
:21:28. > :21:36.they have the chance of a medal. This is one that they all think they
:21:37. > :21:40.should win. Don't worry, early stages here now. They are still in
:21:41. > :21:49.amongst it. The big thing will be the next 250 metres -- the next...
:21:50. > :21:52.They have to keep the power going. Great Britain focused on a
:21:53. > :21:56.combination of power and technique, good rowing. They know they're not
:21:57. > :22:01.the American boat, they know they can't match them in terms of full on
:22:02. > :22:06.power, so they have to make sure, amongst others here, that they have
:22:07. > :22:10.good technique as well. That is fine but sadly they are doing inched
:22:11. > :22:18.away, New Zealand are just taking something every stroke and they may
:22:19. > :22:23.have to rely -- they can't rely on hoofing it in the last 1500 metres.
:22:24. > :22:34.They have to be very controlled here. They just need to get that
:22:35. > :22:37.medal pace up because they don't want Canada and New Zealand to be
:22:38. > :22:40.racing -- they want them to be racing each other on their left and
:22:41. > :22:44.right. They have the power and the speed. Right now, the Olympic heat
:22:45. > :22:48.is where they need to deliver. New Zealand looking the longer in terms
:22:49. > :22:54.of strokes, looking the more fluid as we head towards the halfway mark.
:22:55. > :22:57.Heat number two of the women's eight and Great Britain go through in
:22:58. > :23:02.third place, slightly down again, as they did at the 500 metre mark. All
:23:03. > :23:07.important, the next 250. This is where you will see the crews doing
:23:08. > :23:11.the first major push. They will step up, they will start to move it on
:23:12. > :23:18.again. It's really important that Great Britain don't allow the New
:23:19. > :23:24.Zealand crew, the Kiwis, to just slip away here. Remember, in this
:23:25. > :23:27.season, Great Britain have beaten both of these crews, they've beaten
:23:28. > :23:36.New Zealand and they've beaten Canada. Right now, all three crews
:23:37. > :23:40.are going at exactly the same speed, but Britain's are just starting to
:23:41. > :23:55.hit back. They are moving, absolutely moving. Smooth, long. The
:23:56. > :23:59.... It's all very well picturesque close-ups here but we want to see.
:24:00. > :24:05.Bang on the line with Canada. They going to come through the Canadians.
:24:06. > :24:09.Looks a little bit heavy in the Canadian boat at the top. It has to
:24:10. > :24:15.be light and nimble in the British crew for them to attack the New
:24:16. > :24:17.Zealanders. In rough water at the European Championships earlier this
:24:18. > :24:22.year they had a blistering last 250 metres. They showed a turn of speed
:24:23. > :24:29.that they're going to need to show now. They are going faster than the
:24:30. > :24:33.Kiwis now. 500 metres remaining, this heat of the women's eight. Only
:24:34. > :24:39.one boat will go through to the final. The British crew are right up
:24:40. > :24:46.through New Zealand, inching forwards. It is two feet out, now
:24:47. > :24:49.moving to three feet out. The confidence has got to ride high
:24:50. > :24:52.because this will be the first time ever in Olympic history that the
:24:53. > :24:57.British women's eight could qualify direct from a hit into an eight
:24:58. > :25:03.final and they could walk away from the regatta today thinking yeah, we
:25:04. > :25:06.are on for this. Nice shot, there. They look very relaxed. Under
:25:07. > :25:12.pressure and they have responded incredibly well, good on them. There
:25:13. > :25:17.is the marker. 25 strokes. You can count them here. The heads have to
:25:18. > :25:23.stay up, the length as to stay long. It is not over yet, the Kiwis can
:25:24. > :25:29.turn this around. They have had one race where they have beaten them,
:25:30. > :25:36.the Kiwis. They want a little bit more here, they're pushing for the
:25:37. > :25:41.line. This is going to give her a huge amount of confidence, not just
:25:42. > :25:47.to win it but to come from behind and end up dominating it. 50 out
:25:48. > :25:51.from the line now. They want to go for the win, they are being greedy
:25:52. > :25:55.and rightly so. Great Britain going through to the eight final, making a
:25:56. > :26:01.bit of history here. Great Britain are through, three quarters of a
:26:02. > :26:04.length up over New Zealand and Canada. They gave us a little bit of
:26:05. > :26:09.a scare in the first 500 metres but they know the job is done in the
:26:10. > :26:13.last five. They put themselves in contention and then reaped the
:26:14. > :26:16.benefits of it. The best thing about all of this is that there is no
:26:17. > :26:21.hooping and hollering, it's just a step forward, a step forward. This
:26:22. > :26:24.is a major step forward for the women's eight, into the eight final
:26:25. > :26:28.and we could now start to think there could be a really good
:26:29. > :26:32.showdown between the United States of America and Great Britain.
:26:33. > :26:40.That was a hugely impressive performance. The Australian boat was
:26:41. > :26:43.poor but not poor enough that they were out of that picture, they were
:26:44. > :26:46.actually in the other heat! You could actually seek edged on their
:26:47. > :26:49.faces the sense of belief but not just bad, the thought that they're
:26:50. > :26:54.going to get a medal here. It is that belief. They have believed it
:26:55. > :26:58.for a long time. They know that they have got the speed, especially in
:26:59. > :27:02.the second half, the last 500. They've got a lot of speed but I
:27:03. > :27:06.think it's the way they go about it. As they turned around and powered
:27:07. > :27:09.away, the smiles on their faces, even though they know it was
:27:10. > :27:13.controlled they know they have got a medal there for the taking. They've
:27:14. > :27:16.been dreaming about it for months and everyone has been saying this is
:27:17. > :27:21.the best women's eight we've ever had, they should win a medal. Now
:27:22. > :27:24.they know they can win a medal! Can they think they can actually win
:27:25. > :27:28.this? They wouldn't have seen the Americans because they were
:27:29. > :27:32.following that heat but the reality is that they know that the Americans
:27:33. > :27:37.are class and they haven't lost for the last ten years. Whatever
:27:38. > :27:41.combination they put out of whatever situation there is. They know that
:27:42. > :27:45.the gold medal is going to be extremely tough but they are in the
:27:46. > :27:49.frame. If they go as fast as they possibly can it is a guaranteed
:27:50. > :27:53.silver, pushing for a gold. That's not a bad situation to be in. It
:27:54. > :27:58.sure isn't. This was the first race on the water, a long way to go,
:27:59. > :28:03.because we are catching up because of the weather yesterday. This is
:28:04. > :28:07.the men's quad in a repechage and they wanted to make sure they didn't
:28:08. > :28:09.finish last in the race, to have a chance to get through to the next
:28:10. > :28:15.round. COMMENTATOR: We are away and now six
:28:16. > :28:22.boats chasing two qualification spots. Lithuania in one, New Zealand
:28:23. > :28:26.in two. Germany, the world champions, lasting out. Up goes the
:28:27. > :28:36.rate, up goes the speed. Great Britain in four. Sam Townsend, Angus
:28:37. > :28:40.Groote, and Canada to the right of your picture inlay number six. This
:28:41. > :28:49.is now the race of death, the final opportunity to qualify for a 2016
:28:50. > :28:56.Olympic final. Early stages, it's between Canada, closest to us here,
:28:57. > :29:00.and Germany in lane number three. Early stages and the water is good
:29:01. > :29:04.here. That's the most important thing and four Great Britain, what a
:29:05. > :29:08.story the British quad have had. They were second two years ago at
:29:09. > :29:12.the World Championships to Ukraine, they lost the gold by 900th of a
:29:13. > :29:18.second. The first time that Great Britain meddled at a senior World
:29:19. > :29:21.Championships. It was the start of what was going to be a fairy tale
:29:22. > :29:26.run into the Olympic Games but things have started to come off for
:29:27. > :29:31.them over the last couple of years. They can see the world champions,
:29:32. > :29:37.Germany, here. It goes without saying they need the race of their
:29:38. > :29:45.lives here, but it needs to be a big focused middle run for them. Germany
:29:46. > :29:53.are showing why they are world champions, they can obviously cope
:29:54. > :29:56.with the rough conditions. Our men's squad don't need to have the
:29:57. > :30:02.performance of their lives, they need to perform like they have for
:30:03. > :30:07.the last three-year is. With Pete Lambert, there first thousand isn't
:30:08. > :30:12.going to be as quick as the rest of the season but their second thousand
:30:13. > :30:15.is going to be very fast. The one team we don't know about is Canada
:30:16. > :30:21.because they were in a good position in their heat. And then they came
:30:22. > :30:26.last. Their powerful but not very technical. Flatter conditions may
:30:27. > :30:28.help them but now the British, after I guess a slightly
:30:29. > :30:32.characteristically steady start from our boys, they are coming through
:30:33. > :30:35.with their quicker pace and hopefully that will accelerate in
:30:36. > :30:36.the second half of the race. I'm pretty happy with where they are
:30:37. > :30:45.now. Germany in lane three, the defending
:30:46. > :30:51.Olympic champions. The pressure is on. This is the repechage. Two to go
:30:52. > :30:59.through. At the moment we have four boats. Just watch the bowels slicing
:31:00. > :31:08.through. Look at the contrast in the water. -- bows.
:31:09. > :31:15.Great Britain sitting in second place. They will be pushed hard by
:31:16. > :31:20.Switzerland currently in third. The Swiss were third in Lucerne if you
:31:21. > :31:25.weeks back. Second to Great Britain on that occasion. Great Britain know
:31:26. > :31:34.they have the better of Switzerland in past head-to-heads. It is
:31:35. > :31:41.starting to get into the business end. They will do a big push to set
:31:42. > :31:47.themselves up. We know they are fighters in the last 500. They have
:31:48. > :31:53.good boat speed traditionally here. They need to be on the top of their
:31:54. > :32:01.game. They had a very good second half, very much three quarters of a
:32:02. > :32:05.second down on Switzerland and Canada in the 500 metres and now
:32:06. > :32:09.they are squeezing back on the Germans. This is a step up from
:32:10. > :32:14.their initial race together in the heat with their crew change. They
:32:15. > :32:17.have half a length over the third placed crew which is what they need
:32:18. > :32:24.to do. They don't need to win it, they need to be in second place to
:32:25. > :32:29.make the final. There is no doubt, James, they are squeezing back. They
:32:30. > :32:36.have gone from three quarters of a length down to half a length on
:32:37. > :32:41.Germany. 500 metres remain. Here come the British. They are starting
:32:42. > :32:49.to move again. They will be pushing hard on Germany. Six boats,
:32:50. > :32:52.Lithuania, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain and
:32:53. > :32:57.Canada. At the moment it is looking like Germany Great Britain and
:32:58. > :33:01.Switzerland. The British have opened up Clearwater on lane number four
:33:02. > :33:05.from Switzerland. The Olympic champions, the world champions
:33:06. > :33:15.sitting about seven feet ahead of them. There are the bows of the
:33:16. > :33:25.German crew. This is very impressive. They have put together
:33:26. > :33:30.some learnings from the heat and they have shown themselves to be far
:33:31. > :33:41.quicker than Switzerland who were in last year's final and a match for
:33:42. > :33:45.Germany. Ten strokes and still the British are right on it. They are
:33:46. > :33:51.chasing hard. They are making the Germans fight for this. Germany have
:33:52. > :33:56.squeezed out about half a length. Here comes closest to ask Canada
:33:57. > :34:00.pushing on. They will not come anywhere close to Great Britain.
:34:01. > :34:09.Great Britain know they have qualified for the 2016 Olympics
:34:10. > :34:16.finals for the men's Quad sculls. Great Britain, heads up, they are
:34:17. > :34:20.moving forwards in this regatta. A tremendous performance from these
:34:21. > :34:24.guys here. The lock is against us so I apologise we have not got time to
:34:25. > :34:31.chat about rowing at we must talk about the key fifth element in your
:34:32. > :34:37.boat. This is Amy's T Rex. She wanted him to come and support us in
:34:38. > :34:43.Rio. Is it in the boat during the race? He does not like the water but
:34:44. > :34:47.the rest of the time he is with us. Congratulations, you are in the
:34:48. > :34:53.final. I am sure we will talk more later. I must say, Hazel, in the
:34:54. > :34:58.mixed zone, you know about mixed zones. We are all good pals but
:34:59. > :35:02.there is a fair bit of rivalry. We have the Dutch and the Kiwis. This
:35:03. > :35:06.is Julianne from Germany and we are having a personal battle about how
:35:07. > :35:14.many gold medals Great Britain and Germany will get. At the moment,
:35:15. > :35:19.thank you, Adam Peaty, it is 1-0 for us.
:35:20. > :35:25.What you don't know at home as there is also a programme rivalry. You
:35:26. > :35:29.keep a tally so it is bury competitive. That is the nature of
:35:30. > :35:36.the Olympics in the proper conversation and in the broadcasting
:35:37. > :35:39.of it as well! But it is serious stuff we will be concentrating on in
:35:40. > :35:43.the three-day event. It is always a fascinating event because it takes
:35:44. > :35:46.place over such a long time and it is looking good from a Great Britain
:35:47. > :35:51.perspective. Lee McKenzie is at the equestrian centre as she has been
:35:52. > :35:55.all week. Good morning. I know it is the cross-country phase today and
:35:56. > :36:00.Gemma Tattersall says it is certainly meaty. She says, we will
:36:01. > :36:05.all have to have our serious brave pants on today.
:36:06. > :36:09.Are you wearing yours? I am! Even I had a sleepless night last night. I
:36:10. > :36:14.have spoken to a lot of the riders and they have said this is a proper
:36:15. > :36:19.course, the most difficult cross country course since Australia 2000.
:36:20. > :36:23.The wind is picking up and things are blowing down. Apart from people
:36:24. > :36:27.getting hit by things it is good news for horse and rider because the
:36:28. > :36:33.temperatures have come down. This is a course just under four miles long.
:36:34. > :36:39.This cloud cover that we have and temperatures in the load to mid 20s
:36:40. > :36:44.is ideal for horse and rider. Gemma is the first one out. She is known
:36:45. > :36:50.as the Pathfinder. She will go back into the team. The team are watching
:36:51. > :36:55.to see which jumps are jumping well, which is the quickest route and it
:36:56. > :37:00.gets very competitive and it all starts at ten o'clock. Paper funnel
:37:01. > :37:03.has been talking about it as well and she is a very experienced
:37:04. > :37:08.campaigner and she knows knowing the route and the best way to go and how
:37:09. > :37:12.the horses will cope will be vital as well -- Pippa Funnell. I don't
:37:13. > :37:23.think the heat will be a problem that paper is right. She has three
:37:24. > :37:26.Olympic medals to her name. You might think number four is number
:37:27. > :37:29.four but there are three different elements to that jump and you have
:37:30. > :37:36.got to get through that in the quickest possible time. The course
:37:37. > :37:41.designer is very well-known and he has built a course, not necessarily
:37:42. > :37:45.in the height of the jumps but in the technicality of this course. It
:37:46. > :37:50.will test even the world's best riders. William Fox-Pitt is in pole
:37:51. > :37:56.position, Great Britain in fourth place ahead of a very important day.
:37:57. > :38:01.Lee, enjoy it, we will be hearing from you throughout the day and get
:38:02. > :38:07.your pants on as it were! We will get back into the pool. Last night,
:38:08. > :38:13.after Adam Peaty, it was Jazz Carlin's turn to get into the water.
:38:14. > :38:19.And with Katie Ledecky going into this race, Carlin had it all to do
:38:20. > :38:31.in a race within a race. Eight lengths of the pool. The USA
:38:32. > :38:38.in lane three and four. Jazz Carlin in lane five in the Red Hat.
:38:39. > :38:44.Traditionally she has a slower start. I would suggest she needs to
:38:45. > :38:50.move away from Katie Ledecky he was leading off already in a fantastic
:38:51. > :38:52.style in lane four. Andy, you are absolutely right. She will settle
:38:53. > :39:16.into her own rhythm, Jazz Carlin. The European champion is in lane one
:39:17. > :39:25.from Hungary. Ledecky doing what we saw Becky Adlington do in Beijing.
:39:26. > :39:33.When she did the world record, she put in a couple of 60s. Ledecky well
:39:34. > :39:37.ahead of the world record place. Jazz Carlin has the awesome chance
:39:38. > :39:44.of the silver medal. I cannot tell you enough about that. She has
:39:45. > :39:53.started well. She does not normally start so quick. It is all about
:39:54. > :40:10.Ledecky and how much she will break her own world record. Going well is
:40:11. > :40:17.the Canadian. Jazz does look good. Good to keep an eye out on Lee Smith
:40:18. > :40:18.in lane three. She is a 21-year-old from the University of Virginia. Her
:40:19. > :40:45.best time is four minutes. Just past the halfway mark. Katie
:40:46. > :40:49.Ledecky is streets ahead. In second place is Jazz Carlin, the
:40:50. > :40:57.Commonwealth champion on the 800 metres freestyle. This is the 400 so
:40:58. > :41:06.she should have lots of stamina. Carlin looking very good. But it is
:41:07. > :41:11.all about Ledecky. She has moved nicely into the silver medal
:41:12. > :41:16.position, Carlin. She has seen Adam Peaty get the gold medal. She
:41:17. > :41:20.sometimes gets nervous in the heats but she got rid of that this
:41:21. > :41:30.morning. She said she dealt good after the heats. I'm a sure she will
:41:31. > :41:36.catch Ledecky. About 80 metres to go. Katie Ledecky has led from the
:41:37. > :41:41.gun. It is how much she breaks her own world record by. The world
:41:42. > :41:47.record is the computer-generated line right on her feet. Great news
:41:48. > :41:52.for Great Britain and Wales' Jazz Carlin in silver medal position. She
:41:53. > :42:00.is holding well but charging is Leah Smith from the USA. Carlin gets too
:42:01. > :42:13.deep in deep here. Ledecky smashing the world record. She is world
:42:14. > :42:20.champion on the 200, 400, 815 and 1500 metres freestyle. Look at this.
:42:21. > :42:25.The world champion becomes the Olympic champion and it is Katie
:42:26. > :42:30.Ledecky. The silver for Jazz Carlin. A wonderful silver medal for Great
:42:31. > :42:39.Britain. What a brilliant swim and a massive lifetime best. Well done,
:42:40. > :42:43.Jazz! Brilliant! I tell you what. There are some superlative is
:42:44. > :42:47.required for all this. It is a good job we are near the ceiling. Our
:42:48. > :42:57.commentary position is right near the roof. That was a brilliant swim.
:42:58. > :43:02.Smith is going, 3.56! Jazz Carlin delivered a strong swim there. She
:43:03. > :43:08.could not have done more. She has not put a foot wrong. I am really
:43:09. > :43:13.impressed. Congratulations, darling, I am so
:43:14. > :43:20.pleased for you! I aim on the edge of tears. It has not sunk in at all.
:43:21. > :43:25.And Katie breaking the world record, I was trying to stick through and
:43:26. > :43:32.have a great race. I wanted to be up there in the mix from the start. I
:43:33. > :43:35.cannot believe the time as well! I am so happy! Cool, calm and
:43:36. > :43:40.collected and this has been a long time coming. Tell me how
:43:41. > :43:45.disappointed you were four years ago? Four years ago I was sat in the
:43:46. > :43:50.London Aquatics Stadium watching from the sidelines cheering everyone
:43:51. > :43:58.on and this time I am in the pool and I have won medal. I was watching
:43:59. > :44:04.Adam Peaty's race. I knew I to stay relaxed and calm before the race but
:44:05. > :44:05.now I am absolutely gobsmacked. I am speechless! Big congratulations.
:44:06. > :44:16.Thank you. And Jazz Carlin making up for lost
:44:17. > :44:23.time. She missed the 2012 Olympic Games as she had had glandular
:44:24. > :44:27.fever. It is great to be able to celebrate some medal success. We arm
:44:28. > :44:33.aching a quick channel hop to BBC One for the afternoon and that means
:44:34. > :44:34.we can put our Syria's brave pants on. See
