gold medal in the pool with James Guy in the final of the men's 200 | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
metres freestyle. Plenty to keep you entertained, here is what is coming | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
up... We will see our heavyweight Lawrence Okolie and a few moments. | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
We will see if James Guy can take our fifth medal of the games. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
Superstar Michael Phelps in action in the men's 200 metres butterfly. A | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
great story is emerging in the table tennis. Paul Drinkhall come into the | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
last 16, the first Briton to reach that stage since 1992. First, | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
boxing. This will be a terrific heavyweight bout featuring Britain's | :02:47. | :02:57. | |
Lawrence Okolie. An incredible story, he was serving burgers during | :02:58. | :03:09. | |
London 2012, the 23-year-old is actually an export scholarship but | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
has deferred his studies until after the games and is looking for top | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
marks in this match against his Cuban opponent. Right next to the | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
Olympic Park, this venue, built in 1977, previously hosted Pan-American | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
games events. We are under way in the 91 kilograms | :03:27. | :03:44. | |
heavyweight division. The second preliminary round, and the man | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
wearing blue has just taken an awkward right hand over the top, the | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
26-year-old Cuban, ranked number two in the world, and the tournament | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
number two seed. , and his opponent, 23-year-old Lawrence Okolie from | :04:03. | :04:13. | |
East London. One of a ten man strong British boxing squad, two women as | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
well. And a cracking right hand but Okolie on the canvas. Another | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
calamitous start for the man, he is on the canvas for the fourth time in | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
his second meeting against Erislandy Savon. Terrible start from Okolie. | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
Yes, court was a big right hand. He needs to move away from that | :04:43. | :04:56. | |
dangerous short of the Cuban. A terrible start but he has recovered | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
again. He needs to get back to using that and get back to been positive. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
He came into the contest in a positive mood and must return to | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
that now. Make no more mistakes and keep it long range. He defeated | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
three boxes in the top ten to secure this passage to his first Olympic | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
Games and is facing the man ranked number two in the world for the | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
second time in a matter of months. His victories over top-10 talent | :05:31. | :05:41. | |
show you the capability of Okolie, whereas Savon's sole title was a | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
junior championship in 2008, in that time, Okolie had no thought | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
whatsoever about entering the sport of boxing. He did so after he saw | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Anthony Joshua wins superheavyweight gold. Now he is facing a man of | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
incredible talent in his own right, and heats of experience. The most | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
important shot for Okolie is his jab. If you miss us, it allows | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
someone to come back a right hand. As soon as Savon comes into range he | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
has got to be fast, accurate, hit the target. Keep that gap, keep it | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
long range. You see Savon just struggling a | :06:29. | :06:42. | |
little to close down the gap, because Okolie his recovered, not a | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
bad end to the round, but a terrible start. He was dropped by a lovely, | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
long straight right cross delivered by this man. So calm and controlled | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
in the boxing ring, and so far Okolie has done nothing to take him | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
out of his rhythm. A good right hand over the top. He moves in, Savon, | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
catches him off balance a little and he goes down. Okolie, a little bit | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
slower. That will be across the border for the Cuban, no question. | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
But he has recovered. -- across the board. And it was a good, positive | :07:32. | :07:48. | |
end to of the round, for Okolie. Okolie, immediately on the front | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
foot after conceding the opening round across the in favour of the | :07:52. | :08:06. | |
second best boxer in the world. He comes back with a long left hand and | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
a right over the top. But Okolie is a growing in confidence and finding | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
his range. That is better. The Cubans are not invincible. If you | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
hit them on the chin, they will stagger. Straight right hand, long | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
range, more of that please, Lawrence Okolie. The contest is now more than | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
even the nature in the second round. A left jab again catches Savon and | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
disrupts his stance. But now the man is looking to put his punches | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
together. World series boxing experience in seasons four, five, | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
six, and in that time Savon has established a record of 22 contest | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
without defeat over the five round duration. Okolie, made his world | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
series boxing debut this year and his lone defeat came against this | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
man in blue. It took place in neutral territory in Uzbekistan. It | :09:10. | :09:19. | |
is about 100% concentration. Savon, definitely struggling with closing | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
the gap, he is starting his attacks from too far out, that is why we jab | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
must the accurate, slammed it into his face and bring across the right | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
hand, but keep your distance and range, and it is all about | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
concentration and accuracy. The attempted right hand. And that is a | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
cracking right hand from Savon, but Okolie took it well, now holding on | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
to gain some respite, after that right hand landed right on his chin. | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
He just oozes class, Savon, but he is having problems closing down | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
began. That is why Okolie must be more concentrated. -- closing down | :10:07. | :10:16. | |
the gap. Okolie, he has got to be on the ball, and he can do this. | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
Okolie, demonstrated his talent by winning the European qualification | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
event. Defeated three top-10 operators. Now he is facing one of | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
the very best of all and acquitting himself well in the second round | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
after a slow start in the first, but it is a strong conclusion to the | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
round from Savon. That could be a significant tactic in determining | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
the outcome of a round. Let's just listen to David Alloway. You'd | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
building. When he throws at your face... Plenty of encouragement, | :11:01. | :11:11. | |
telling him doing brilliantly. But look at this right hand, it was | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
cracking, it's certainly gave Savon problems, but then Savon beat him to | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
the punch, that is what I am talking about, you have got to hit him with | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
that left-hand first. The second round has gone the same way. Savon, | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
in a commanding position. Just some adjustments required to | :11:37. | :11:50. | |
view waistband. It must be visible so that the referee can discern what | :11:51. | :12:01. | |
is a low load, or not. -- loan -- low blow. Okolie, trailing by three | :12:02. | :12:11. | |
points on all of the scorecards. And of course when you are built like | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
Okolie and possess his punching power, a knockout is always an | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
option, but you will need to find that the chin of a heavyweight who | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
is pretty elusive at his best. Okolie, he has had some success with | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
his right hand but he has got to find a Sunday punch. He can find it | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
but he just needs to bring Savon onto it. We know how good Savon is, | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
but one mistake, and Okolie can capitalise. It is forcing your | :12:50. | :12:58. | |
opponent to do that. The reigning Pan-American games champion. The | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
reigning American Continental champion of last year. And really | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
when you look at some of the results that have gone against him, it is | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
rather surprising he has not picked up global success at the senior | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
level yet and occupied the highest plinth on the podium. He comes | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
forward with another piledriving right-hander that causes Okolie to | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
become disorganised and hold on at close range. Okolie, he is going for | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
it, but he must create space. He is more effective from range and will | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
not win this at close quarters. He has got to bring Savon onto that ), | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
at long range, using the jab, that is what he has got to do. A young | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
man who oozes confidence, Okolie, to go with his immense talent. He has | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
spoken of destiny and winning the Olympic title. Okolie, facing an | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
uphill battle here in the third and final round trailing by two points | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
on all three cards. A bad start, then he got back into it in the | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
second round, but still did not do enough to take it on the scorecards | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
of the judges. Another good right hand from Savon. Okolie, back with a | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
left hand of his own. Then a fully before coming underneath is a good | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
uppercut. Lawrence is just feeling it now. A shame, but he will learn | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
from this experience. He has had his moments in this contest. Worth | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
pointing out he had just 25 contests coming into his Olympic Games. | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
Incredible performance to qualify for the biggest amateur boxing | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
tournament on Earth, this sporting extravaganza. He produced a terrific | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
victory in his first performance, but he has run into the brilliant | :15:04. | :15:17. | |
Erislandy Savon who demonstrated his superiority over the immensely | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
talented but inexperienced Lawrence Okolie. A great shot again from | :15:22. | :15:33. | |
Savon, but Okolie is inexperienced, he is one for 2020, Tokyo. It was a | :15:34. | :15:42. | |
terrible start but he did not cave in. He even rocked Savon with a | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
shot, he will come again, he is one for the future. | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
That the official announcement of the conclusion of this heavyweight | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
contest in this second preliminary round. Ladies and gentlemen, the | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
winner by unanimous decision... Erislandy Savon into the | :16:07. | :16:28. | |
quarterfinals and a step closer to English in his natural -- legendary | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
uncle Felix. Against Great Britton's Lawrence Okolie in the second round | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
of the 91 kilograms heavyweight tournament, unanimous points | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
decision winner, taking all three rounds for all three judges, very | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
convincing display. The number two seed. Lawrence Okolie is a limited | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
but showed his -- is eliminated but should hold his head up high at the | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
way in which he has acquitted himself in this first Olympic | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
tournament. One step to finally end, was what you expect? It will always | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
be tough against the world number two? I knew wouldn't be hard, but | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
timber for but the stuff I bit dead in preparation I thought it would be | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
enough but unfortunately I got in and found out it was a different | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
ball game. -- I thought it would be enough. I'm up against someone that | :17:20. | :17:27. | |
was just a bit better today, it pains me, but at the end of the day | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
I was watching him when I was in McDonald's four years ago against | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Anthony Joshua and I got myself within 26 fights where I'm sharing a | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
room with him. It's not enough for me, got a chip on my shoulder and I | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
believe I've become one of the best in the world and I would stop until | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
I get to that staters. And you been able to enjoy it, what will you take | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
away? The progress I've made. But until I get to that stage. It might | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
have been two months, now on the big stage in the Olympics I managed to | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
extend it. After the first round I said you heard the first bell, | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
second, third, I really wanted to win and tried to push it even know I | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
was hurt but unfortunately it wasn't enough. I will go back to the | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
drawing board, I have a fantastic team and I will keep pushing. I want | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
to give a massive shout my mum, my dad, my friend that made their way | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
here. But everyone that has been supporting me. Unfortunately I did | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
not do it today but I will not stop until I get to the next level. All | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
the best, hopefully we will see you in Twenty20. Religious body for | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
Lawrence Okolie. Interestingly he was beaten by Savon stopped in June | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
in the opening round. -- really disappointing. We have table tennis | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
and weightlifting on the way but we are concentrating on the swimming | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
pool and what a night last night. Adam Peaty and Jazz Carlin both | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
winning gold and silver medals respectively and tonight James is | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
the Guy. James Guy of England, bronze | :19:02. | :19:17. | |
medallist, what a great swim he had. It is James Guy of Great Britton. | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
James Guy has got at! And Natalie Brilliant swim. World champion, well | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
done, Sarah! James Guy asserting himself as the world champion he is. | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
Every second counts massively at the Olympic Games. He has made it in by | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
one 100th of a second. Let's hope for more medals in the pool this | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
evening for the speaker Mark Foster, part of swimming team. A very good | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
evening to you. I saw on Twitter today that you shared one of the | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
best nights you've ever seen in the pool last night? It was the best | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
night I've ever seen, first came on the scene in 1988 and so Adrian | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
Moorhouse on the first night of the Olympic Games in Seoul and he won | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
his gold medal but I've never seen a gold and silver in the same night, | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
Rebecca Adlington eight years ago in Beijing when she won and Joe Jackson | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
got third, it was so emotional standing next to Peter's parents | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
with us last night, that was expected to did wasn't expected how | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
much he would crush everyone. Judge Dariusz Mazur Adam Peaty. He has | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
rewritten the record books in Bristol but Jazz Carlin was a | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
massive shock. She is up for the 800, with the potential medal but | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
getting is over last night and seeing the emotion in her face, for | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
her calling all my God and that the Olympics and how much it meant to | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
her, Jesus of medallist, it was amazing. Incredible, especially what | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
she went through in 2012. Let's turn our attention to James Guy, | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
realistic chances of a medal? Yes, there is an opportunity for the | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
pyjama lane you have a chance. The 400 did not go to plan, 3.45 in heat | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
and 3.44 in the final. Not much of his best. You want to do your best | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
at the Olympics and it wasn't bad. The heat and semifinals he looked | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
heavy and I wonder if leading into the championships he's been at | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
altitude as done training and sometimes you do a lot of work like | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
building a skyscraper, you have future foundations that huge | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
foundations and sometimes you don't get it right on the right day. But | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
another day of rest and the training is done, he is a phenomenal athlete. | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
A world last year and the year before and in the Commonwealth Games | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
and European Championships, he has it all to do, Sun Yang will be the | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
favourite and I believe he will probably win but silver and bronze, | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
there is potential. A world champion can step up sometimes. There was a | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
lot of big names in the pool deceiving the Chad le Clos and | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
Michael Phelps, how much are you looking for to that? That is big, | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
the final will be tomorrow night with the 200 fly. There was also the | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
John Tupe free before the 200 fly semifinals of Chad le Clos will be | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
wiped out. -- the 203. He beat Michael Phelps in the last Olympic | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
Games which was a shock and we had that moment of how much it meant to | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
the family. You has Laszlo Jay who used to be and I am slimmer and ten | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
seconds Michael Phelps five times in the Olympics. If Michael Phelps | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
wasn't here he would be a big name in Olympics Potts. It will be touch | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
and go tomorrow who gets to the wall first and if I was betting, looking | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
at the Phelps looked heavy, Chad did not show much. Laszlo was the | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
fastest this morning, he has a longer range in stroke, I would say | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
Laszlo. But that won't go down well with the crowd, they love Michael | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
Phelps. Thank you. Let's look at the key times. 2.20 1am. James Guy | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
sneaks into the final of the 200 meter freestyle final. Formal | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
dilemma four gold medals to be won. We will see if Emily Seebohm cannot | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
win gold in the 100 meter breast Rob final. Mitch Larkin looking to make | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
it a very special night for them in the men's event and we will see Chad | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
le Clos with Mark and Michael Phelps in action in the men's 200 meter | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
butterfly semifinals at about ten past three. That is the swimming | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
schedule but also let's bring you up-to-date with what is happening in | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
the tennis. This has been fascinating over the past few days. | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
If you are with us yesterday he would have seen the Murray brothers | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
crashed out and Novak Djokovic as well Andy Williams sisters both out | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
as well. Venus also went the women's singles. Serena Williams taking on a | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
leak or Nay of France. -- ailing cornet. She was pushed to the end of | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
the first set, Serena, not out alongside Venus. -- knocked out | :23:56. | :24:08. | |
alongside. The men's 62 kilograms weightlifting competition is drawn | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
to a close. Let's bring you up-to-date with what you need to | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
know. Men's weightlifting appeared at the first modern Olympics and has | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
featured at every games since 1920 other women's competition only made | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
its debut in Sydney in 2000. The aim is simple, left the greatest weight | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
possible. There are two types of lift, the snatch and clean jerk, | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
competitors must complete but let's and the winner is the person with | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
the greatest combined weight total. The snatch is ready barbel is waste | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
is no greater head -- about -- where the boys is raves about the head | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
with lock arms. It must move to position above their head and after | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
they are secure they rise and complete the list. The clean and | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
jerk is performed in two stages, the Queen is ready barbel is gripped | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
palms downwards and pulled on a single movement from platform the | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
shoulders. The joke is on the athlete Ben 's and extend the legs | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
and arms to bring the barbel to full stretch. They must then a standstill | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
with feet in line with the bar until they are given a signal by the three | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
judges that the lift is good. Each letter has three attempts in both | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
the snatch and clean and jerk with a combined total of the highest two | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
successful lifts determining the overall result. If after three | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
attempts they failed to register a correct left they will be eliminated | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
from the competition. Olympic weightlifting requires more than | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
just great strength, excellent balance, stability and speed is | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
essential to a weightlifter's quest for glory. It is one of the great | :25:47. | :25:57. | |
weight of -- weightlifting competitions. Peter's on its site | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
has set a new best but Oskar Figueroa leads after the snatch | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
round having lifted 142 kilos. He got silver in London. This is where | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
we are right now. Figueroa leads with Erawan. John Harker and | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
Michaela Breese are here. That looks difficult. You don't see | :26:19. | :26:45. | |
it very often. There is the squad jerk. Why? This is extremely | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
difficult. Split jerk is the most preferred because if there is any | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
movement you have a chance to adjust your body underneath the bar with a | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
squad jerk, you either or you don't. He has posted through five in total, | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
in the lead just now. Throws his shoulders back, has to work really | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
hard to stand with the clean. Look at that. If you want to try that at | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
home make sure your hands are fairly close together, shoulder width | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
apart, the if you can go into a squat with a broomstick overhead. | :27:22. | :27:29. | |
Keep your feet flat. The Indonesian. A chance to put himself in the first | :27:30. | :27:41. | |
spot. Comfortable. Short and sharp. Really good timing on the dip and | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
drive. Remember, Erawan was on Fortuin the snatch. -- 142. Now the | :27:47. | :28:03. | |
leaders of in total. Figaro of Colombia has increased the starting | :28:04. | :28:11. | |
weight to 172. He has adjusted it twice. Really fast underneath the | :28:12. | :28:25. | |
bar. Kharki has just adjusted his to 173. Now we are not back depending | :28:26. | :28:38. | |
on what Irawan is doing. We do need to see the Colombian coming, Irawan | :28:39. | :28:40. | |
has gone up. Figueroa will come out to an | :28:41. | :28:53. | |
enormous round of applause, his first attempt at 172. This would put | :28:54. | :28:55. | |
him into the lead. Clean is good, adjust the hands. | :28:56. | :29:45. | |
Nice. He will lift the Roof. He is in the lead, the lead now set at | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
314. So, this is a difficult one to call. | :29:52. | :30:06. | |
Out of the three of these guys on top, Kharki was probably the least | :30:07. | :30:15. | |
impressive. Remember, this is just his second attempt. He has another | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
lift if needed. This represents a personal best. By | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
one kilo. It would put him in the lead. That | :30:25. | :30:54. | |
looked a struggle. No. He is under pressure now. If you hear any | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
Cheers, that is from the Colombians, giving their man some breathing | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
space. Remember, he is the heavier of the two lifters. I think we will | :31:04. | :31:11. | |
see fig where all coming out on the same weights, forcing Irawan even | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
heavier on his final attempt. I'm not sure Irawan has the legs to | :31:16. | :31:21. | |
stand with more, so this could be the list for the gold-medal. | :31:22. | :31:23. | |
Certainly will confirm his lead. Waiting for quiet. | :31:24. | :31:35. | |
This, to put himself in first place. It is there. He extends his knee. He | :31:36. | :32:19. | |
has laid down the gauntlet. Catch me if you can. Still needs to stay | :32:20. | :32:28. | |
focused just in case one of these guys attempts to upset the party. He | :32:29. | :32:37. | |
looks exhausted. Absolutely drained. I understand that feeling, when you | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
drop body weight and you focus for the last two hours he must keep it | :32:42. | :32:50. | |
together now for one more attempt. He will be hoping he does not need | :32:51. | :32:56. | |
the last attempt. His opponent was seven kilograms behind after this | :32:57. | :33:07. | |
match. Mosquera, equal at 142, but is the lighter man. So now Kharki, | :33:08. | :33:14. | |
if he nails this, it puts him into the silver medal position. | :33:15. | :33:35. | |
No. He has another lift left though. Not much damaged apart from his | :33:36. | :34:01. | |
pride. The laps -- laterals would be engaged in that position. I think | :34:02. | :34:08. | |
that is what you call stacking it. They will need work, lateral by the | :34:09. | :34:16. | |
looks of things. Shoulder. Well... This may be an anti-climax. We may | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
already have seen the lift that secures gold. In the background, | :34:21. | :34:34. | |
going up to 178, so the gauntlet is being laid down to the Colombian. | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
They are scribbling something we cannot see. 179? Irawan Has gone to | :34:39. | :34:54. | |
one seven nine. He does not need that, he needs 177. He would force | :34:55. | :35:06. | |
Mosquera to also lift 179. If he misses, then Mosquera is gold | :35:07. | :35:15. | |
medallist. This is for an Olympic record. | :35:16. | :35:19. | |
Olympic record attempt. He has cleaned it. Can he stand? Yes he | :35:20. | :35:30. | |
can. This will throw down the gauntlet. No. We know one thing for | :35:31. | :35:41. | |
sure, and that is that Mosquera is the Olympic champion. The question | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
is, will we see him again? There is something at stake. The Olympic | :35:48. | :35:55. | |
record. So Irawan we'll settle for silver. And they call on being is | :35:56. | :36:00. | |
going to come out and have a crack at the Olympic record. He has | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
secured gold. This is about pride and a place in the record books. The | :36:05. | :36:10. | |
one man who we believe has the capability. | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
Of course, the issue is that it is his Olympic record as well. He set | :36:16. | :36:27. | |
this record back in 2012. He is the Olympic record holder, trying to | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
break it right now, having already secured gold medal. O Figueroa | :36:32. | :36:40. | |
Mosquera of Colombia. Strong, clean. Come on, nail it. And | :36:41. | :37:11. | |
lucky. But he is still gold medallist. And this massive crowd, | :37:12. | :37:17. | |
full of Colombians, are going nuts for him. But look at the tears of | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
joy. The gold medallist in the 62 kilograms division. I think we are | :37:23. | :37:35. | |
about to see a weightlifter retire. You think? This happens... Forgive | :37:36. | :37:44. | |
me, I have forgotten the name of the Greek lifter. He is leaving his | :37:45. | :37:55. | |
shoes. He has retired. What a wonderful moment. At the age of 33. | :37:56. | :38:11. | |
What a way to go out. Figueroa Mosquera. Hugging his coat and | :38:12. | :38:24. | |
support staff. If you are not choking up back home there is | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
something wrong with you. What a way to end your career. | :38:31. | :38:38. | |
Floods of tears. A great story, the Colombian, Figueroa Mosquera, taking | :38:39. | :38:50. | |
gold. Irawan, of Indonesia, getting silver. One of the big stories from | :38:51. | :38:58. | |
that event is that the world champion from China, a solid bet for | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
gold, he did not finish. If you fancy being the next Figueroa | :39:03. | :39:14. | |
Mosquera, heads to our get inspired website. Punch in your postcode, | :39:15. | :39:20. | |
find out which club you can go to, and who knows, you may be a | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
medallist 14 GP in years to come. Let's bring you up-to-date with the | :39:26. | :39:35. | |
women's singles. Serena Williams playing, we join it was her opponent | :39:36. | :39:37. | |
serving to stay in the match at 2-5. All of a sudden, tugging at her arm, | :39:38. | :40:17. | |
shoulder. The forehand coming back at Cornet | :40:18. | :40:44. | |
very, very quickly. She was scrambling all over the | :40:45. | :41:19. | |
place. Could not get at the last ball. Great control from Williams at | :41:20. | :41:24. | |
that point. Using all the court. Wanted to end the point quickly, | :41:25. | :41:55. | |
Cornet. And we have two match point. Williams desperate to close this | :41:56. | :42:35. | |
out. No challenge. Consult with the | :42:36. | :42:55. | |
umpire again. A double fault. Just pressing too | :42:56. | :43:33. | |
hard. Trying to get a better second serve in. | :43:34. | :43:43. | |
She converts and number three, Williams. Cornet, winning three in a | :43:44. | :44:07. | |
row, cannot make it for. Williams goes through 7-6, 6-2. | :44:08. | :44:15. | |
This appointment in the doubles for Serena and Venus Williams but Serena | :44:16. | :44:25. | |
turning her powers to the Women's Singles third round. Table tennis | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
coming up, with Paul Drinkhall taking on a bill Russian | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
international who is a fantastic player, so he is up against a -- | :44:33. | :44:39. | |
Belarussian. One of the great things about the Olympics... We brought you | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
weight lifting, dramatic scenes, but we will also bring you other sports | :44:44. | :44:46. | |
that you do not necessarily see at this time in the Olympics, so let's | :44:47. | :44:50. | |
have some water Polo tonight. Water Polo has been an Olympic sport | :44:51. | :45:03. | |
since 1900 in Paris. There are seven players in a team. Six outfield and | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
a goalkeeper. But they are allowed six reserves and unlimited | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
substitutions. Substitute are crucial because of the gruelling | :45:14. | :45:17. | |
nature of the sport. Players are not allowed to touch the bottom of the | :45:18. | :45:21. | |
pool at any point during the match. The best way to stay upright and | :45:22. | :45:27. | |
ready is to keep the legs moving alternately in what is known as the | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
eggbeater motion. There are two metre and five metre lines. The | :45:33. | :45:38. | |
attacking team are not allowed to pass the two metres line unless they | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
have possession of the ball or the poll is already in that area. If an | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
attacking player is filed within five metres of gold the referee can | :45:47. | :45:51. | |
award a penalty shot. If the file is committed further out than five | :45:52. | :45:55. | |
metres a free throw is awarded. Goalkeepers may use both hands at | :45:56. | :46:00. | |
once but out to players can only use one hand at a time. The game is | :46:01. | :46:06. | |
split into four quarters of eight minutes but a game usually lasts for | :46:07. | :46:09. | |
over an hour because it is regularly stopped and started. Each quarter | :46:10. | :46:15. | |
begins with both teams lined up on their goal line and when the referee | :46:16. | :46:19. | |
blows the whistle the teams sprint towards the ball in the centre of | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
the court. A shot clock controls shooting time because when in | :46:25. | :46:27. | |
possession teams only have 30 seconds to shoot at goal. | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
Serbia and the red-hot favourite but Croatia are Olympic champions. We | :46:34. | :46:43. | |
are heading to the Aquatic Centre, and your match commentator, Mark | :46:44. | :46:44. | |
Tompkins. Forequarters of eight minutes long. | :46:45. | :47:03. | |
We will have the swim off to Germany will get first control of the ball. | :47:04. | :47:06. | |
-- route to determine who. Meyler Stepanek which will be the | :47:07. | :47:25. | |
starting goalkeeper from Montenegro. Josep avec will start for Croatia. | :47:26. | :47:32. | |
The group stages of the men's water polo. Croatia winning the swim off | :47:33. | :47:41. | |
by some distance. Andelo Setka giving his side first | :47:42. | :48:04. | |
control of the ball. The first goal of the game inside the opening | :48:05. | :48:15. | |
seconds, what a start for Croatia. Sandro Sukno gets the opening goal. | :48:16. | :48:19. | |
Great elevation, off the side of the bar and in -- off of the side. | :48:20. | :48:29. | |
Croatia with a great chance of a second goal. That is a fine save. | :48:30. | :48:50. | |
The Sandro Sukno of the match. The ball turned over. Croatia losing | :48:51. | :49:19. | |
because of the early goal. Montenegro or nicknames the red | :49:20. | :49:27. | |
sharks. -- are nicknamed. A fresh gritty | :49:28. | :49:46. | |
start to the game, just over halfway through the first quarter. Vladimir | :49:47. | :49:56. | |
showing some displeasure at his side's play. Not far to come for | :49:57. | :50:01. | |
these athletes, just about a ten minute Drive to the village from the | :50:02. | :50:09. | |
Olympic Park where the water polo venue is. A very colourful site as | :50:10. | :50:17. | |
you drive past with the flags of the respective nations draped over the | :50:18. | :50:18. | |
tower blocks. Montenegro again looking for the | :50:19. | :50:32. | |
equaliser. Inside the ten seconds on the shot clock. | :50:33. | :50:58. | |
Croatia's number seven is a swimming up. Montenegro with a chance that | :50:59. | :51:28. | |
the extra player. Did not take the advantage with their first one. | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
Taking advantage with their second. Darko Brguljan with his first goal, | :51:35. | :51:48. | |
Montenegro's first goal of the game. What a great strike. There was | :51:49. | :52:51. | |
nothing on it but Luka Bukic seemed to find a way past. Seems to lose | :52:52. | :52:55. | |
the opportunity but arises out of the water to find the low shot. | :52:56. | :53:08. | |
Croatia have played Montenegro twice at the Olympics, won one and lost | :53:09. | :53:17. | |
one. This one, back to all square. We thought this might be a tight | :53:18. | :53:19. | |
game. Good save by Pavic. They've not had | :53:20. | :53:51. | |
the best of times since Ryu ditch -- left them. Bounces over the top, | :53:52. | :53:59. | |
well struck shot, the ball complain all directions of the surface of the | :54:00. | :54:00. | |
water. -- can fly in. Montenegro back on the attack. A | :54:01. | :54:26. | |
fine stop from Pavic. A really good stopped by the keeper, 196 | :54:27. | :54:29. | |
international games to his credit. The Olympiakos goalkeeper. Named the | :54:30. | :54:39. | |
best goalkeeper in the 2015 world league. He is no slouch between the | :54:40. | :54:46. | |
posts. The final few seconds of the first quarter. | :54:47. | :55:07. | |
It is a good deflection and it finds its way into the top corner. Darko | :55:08. | :55:17. | |
Brguljan has his second goal of the game. It is flicked in from Garcia. | :55:18. | :55:27. | |
Six seconds left on the clock for Croatia to find themselves a slender | :55:28. | :55:31. | |
lead to take into the second quarter. Good save by the keeper. | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
There goes the hooter for the end of the first quarter. We shall be back | :55:37. | :55:42. | |
for the second quarter very shortly. Reminder, 2am we shall cross to yet | :55:43. | :55:47. | |
more pool action because we are going to the swimming pool and all | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
eyes are on James Guy, can he win another medal for Team GB? That is | :55:53. | :55:57. | |
about to 21 AM in the men's 200 meter freestyle. We will bring | :55:58. | :56:03. | |
up-to-date with what you can watch right now, there is beach volleyball | :56:04. | :56:08. | |
if you like on BBC Four that is live, Canada against Italy. Italy | :56:09. | :56:12. | |
won their opening match 2- against Austria on opening day of the games. | :56:13. | :56:18. | |
If you want some Button action, there is table tennis. We'll keep an | :56:19. | :56:22. | |
eye on Paul Drinkhall, in the last 16 of the men's table tennis. The | :56:23. | :56:27. | |
first Briton to reach that stage since 1992, following this match. | :56:28. | :56:32. | |
We'll keep up-to-date with that. And also when the women's hockey, the | :56:33. | :56:37. | |
Netherlands are the team to beat as the reigning Olympic world champions | :56:38. | :56:39. | |
but keep a lookout for Argentina because they could win the gold | :56:40. | :56:43. | |
medal. They are taking on Japan, that is available on the Red Button. | :56:44. | :56:46. | |
They are 2-0 up against Japan. To help you make even more of your | :56:47. | :56:58. | |
Rio 2016 Olympic Games from boxing the Kovtun. | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
It appears at judging by my timeline on social media that you are loving | :57:02. | :57:44. | |
the water polo, great news for us. Let's go back for the second quarter | :57:45. | :57:48. | |
of Croatia against Montenegrin and rejoin our commentator, Mark | :57:49. | :58:02. | |
Tompkins. -- Montenegrin. Antonio Petrovic trying to get Montenegrin | :58:03. | :58:09. | |
the ball. But just beaten to it by Croatia. | :58:10. | :58:20. | |
Turnover ball back with the goalkeeper. Both sides have been | :58:21. | :58:50. | |
fairly disciplined, this might have been more of a physical battle. We | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
have only seen a couple of exclusions for 20 seconds so far. | :58:55. | :58:59. | |
I'm sure that will increase as the game goes on. Inside the final ten | :59:00. | :59:01. | |
seconds on the clock. If the shot doesn't come in on the | :59:02. | :59:10. | |
ten seconds it goes to the other side, it has been one back by | :59:11. | :59:12. | |
Serbia. Paskovic winning it back. You cannot | :59:13. | :59:43. | |
go on at the two meter box unless you have the ball. Complaining that | :59:44. | :59:47. | |
he was being fouled by Klikovac. The turnover foul gives Montenegrin | :59:48. | :00:29. | |
the ball back again. Croatia are a very defensive side. They need to | :00:30. | :00:41. | |
get the shot in quickly, which they have done. Pushed away by Pavic. | :00:42. | :00:54. | |
Good save! The clock was ticking down to get the shot away, but a | :00:55. | :01:24. | |
fine stop from Milos Scepanovic, tipping the ball away one-handed. | :01:25. | :01:38. | |
They will be one player light. Janovic out for 20 seconds. Croatia | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
have not managed to make the man advantage count. It is back with | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Milos Scepanovic. Drasko Brguljan. Four steals so far | :01:46. | :02:03. | |
in the first half. Great goal. Great goal. Virtually never left the | :02:04. | :02:17. | |
service of the water from Antonio Petra -- Petkovic, really good shot | :02:18. | :02:38. | |
Josip Pavic, disappointed not to Josip Pavic, disappointed not to | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
keep it out. Paskovic, with a shot, kept out by | :02:43. | :03:04. | |
the Croatian goalkeeper. A well spotted turnover again and | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
Montenegrin win it back with consummate ease at the moment. Could | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
save again. Straight at the goalkeeper. Pavic Makes the save. | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
Both goalkeepers in good form so far in this game. | :03:25. | :03:38. | |
Montenegro just missed out on medals in 2008 and 2012. Finishing fourth. | :03:39. | :03:56. | |
A player is down once again, Alexander Radovic is penalised. Can | :03:57. | :04:06. | |
Croatia make the extra player count? Yes, they can, is the answer. | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
Finally, some joy in front of goal. Buric, with the shot, and we are | :04:13. | :04:27. | |
back to a tied game, 3-3. line-up, Buric, 35, the oldest | :04:28. | :04:51. | |
player in the team, just a little bit older than the goalkeeper, | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Pavic. He would call it experience though, and rightly so. 143 | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
international matches, three Olympic Games for Buric, this is his fourth. | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
The final few seconds of the first half. No foul is Montenegro go in | :05:11. | :05:22. | |
search of the goal that would give them the lead again. And Croatia | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
grabbed the lead right on the stroke of half-time interval. A second of | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
the game for Sukno and it was all down to the vision of Pavic, picking | :05:38. | :05:47. | |
out Sukno. Beyond the goalkeeper. It is the turn of Croatia to lead now, | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
by 4-3. The last shot of the half comes in, blocked by the goalkeeper. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
Entertaining, between these big powerhouses of water Polo. The | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
halfway point in the Aquatic Centre, Croatia 4-3 Montenegro. | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
What a great match and if you want to continue watching live it is | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
online. On cable digital satellite, available on the Red Button. Table | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
tennis coming up for you. And we will show you what happens in the | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
woman's rugby sevens gold medal match, after the headlines. Tom | :06:32. | :06:44. | |
Daley and Dan Goodfellow took bronze in the synchronised ten metres | :06:45. | :06:56. | |
platform, well done them. And our boy Ed Ling took bronze in the trap | :06:57. | :07:06. | |
competition. Great Britain's men come forth in the all-round final | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
after Louis Smith comes off the pommel horse. Defeat to New Zealand | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
and Canada ruined British chances of a medal in the Women's Rugby sevens. | :07:18. | :07:30. | |
And a wonderful celebration for the first Brazilian gold of the games, | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
Rafaela Silva, in the judo, and just look at the seams. Amazing stuff. | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
This is how we line up this evening. Plenty of action to come. | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
Paul Drinkhall's match starts at 1:30 a.m.. James Guy in a final at | :07:52. | :08:04. | |
2:21 a.m.. Michael Phelps races in 40 minutes after that. Just to make | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
the superstars in the swimming pool for these games. -- just two of the | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
superstars. The greatest Olympian in history! | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
Fantastic, a new world record. My goodness me, Le Clos wins gold. The | :08:29. | :08:40. | |
new champion is Missy Franklin of the USA. It is gold and a world | :08:41. | :08:53. | |
record for Hosszu. The silver, Jazz Carlin, a wonderful silver medal for | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
Great Britain. Look at that! Great swimming from the Australian! The | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
gold medal goes to James Guy of Great Britain. Adam Peaty takes | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
Olympic gold for Great Britain! Wonderful scenes from the swimming | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
pool, we will be there with Helen and the team very shortly. But as he | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
tells you, disappointment for British woman in the rugby sevens, | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
who played so well but missed out on the bronze medal. The gold medal | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
match was between Australia and New Zealand. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
Emily Cherry. Sarah Goss. The work they overlap, the long pass. | :09:42. | :09:58. | |
McAllister. She scores the first try of the gold medal final. New Zealand | :09:59. | :10:13. | |
take the lead. Good step, try. Sharon Parry will be disappointed, | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
the flier in the Australian site, wants to just open up both sides. No | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
mistake. Or is that about? Great finish. What a tackle. Get it to | :10:29. | :10:50. | |
quirk. Delivers. Alysia quirk. That could be a yellow. It is. A yellow | :10:51. | :11:04. | |
card to Woodman. Quirk. Hanging onto it, fires it long. A great chance | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
for Australia to score their second try. And they do. | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
Cherry gets away and nobody will catch you. Green. Australia | :11:18. | :11:38. | |
extending their lead in the gold medal final. Outstanding try. | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
Woodman, when very, medal final. Outstanding try. | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
Woodman, when -- one very angry young lady, she knows she has cost | :11:52. | :12:01. | |
her side. Casslick four. She could go on her own. And she does. It | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
would not have been a final without her contribution, the outstanding | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
player of the tournament. I agree. This woman is the number one player | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
of this tournament. She is the difference between the teams. Quirk, | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
with the tackle. McAllister. Nothing can stop her at the moment, as she | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
goes over for the second New Zealand try. It may be too late but | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
McAllister has made her mark on the final. A wonderful first ever | :12:37. | :12:50. | |
Olympic sevens final. Woodman. One of the great finishers, she has her | :12:51. | :13:00. | |
say in the final. 24-15 for the moment. Australia lead. New Zealand | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
scored the last try. But the head is down. She knows it is a losing | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
cause. New Zealand have lost to Australia. 24-17. | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
Many congratulations to Australia. The men get under way tomorrow in | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
the first match of the men's competition, Team GB take on Canada. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
Then it will be all eyes on New Zealand. Sonny Boo Williams, a Rugby | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
World Cup winner in 2015, all eyes on sunny Bill Williams. Our next | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
destination is the swimming pool. We are heading to the Aquatic Centre, | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
let's join Helen. Have you recovered from last night? | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Just about. But I need to hang on to Rebecca. We have just seen Michael | :13:58. | :14:10. | |
Phelps's baby boy. Just as Michael begins his quest to get the title | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
from Le Cloc. So cute. I miss my little one! And the baby might have | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
something to celebrate later on. All the big names will be in the pool | :14:26. | :14:37. | |
tonight. Phelps, Ledecky, Le Clos. But what do reckon of James Guy's | :14:38. | :14:50. | |
chances? He scraped in in eighth, but anything can happen. He has | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
looked tired, not his usual self, he has not made personal bests, but | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
even if he does not medal, I think he will be really happy if he comes | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
out having made a strong time. Does he like to be the underdog? At the | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
World Championships last year he burst onto the scene, took gold and | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
silver. There was a lot of talk for him and it does not come off for | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
him/her, but what about tonight? He is a great racer. It is an amazing | :15:21. | :15:31. | |
opportunity. He is kind of swimming into the meet. And having seen Adam | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
and Jazz last night, that must have lifted him. We talked about the | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
positive effect of the Adam Peaty and Jazz Carlin medals on the team. | :15:42. | :15:51. | |
That is definitely a good thing. Siobhan O'Connor, after her heats, | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
said it has a positive impact on the group and they all want to carry it | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
on. What will it do for Hannah and Siobhan, blind semifinals tonight? | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Hannah has a bit more work to do. But this is not her main event. She | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
said it is a bonus event. Siobhan, she looked fantastic this morning. | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
So controlled. So smooth. She did not look like she was having to push | :16:18. | :16:28. | |
it save heart. Hosszu, obviously she is in there, but in a separate | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
semifinal. So it'll be interesting, I hope she breaks British record. | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
Plenty to look forward to tonight. It is interest. And all the big | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
names are out. I'm going to go and cuddle baby boomer. We will be back | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
with you shortly but let's spin around the venue to show you what is | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
happening and all available for you at the touch of a Button. A lot of | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
people said they love the beach volleyball, that is good because it | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
is available on BBC for a few fancy some Italy against Canada. Of | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
course, we would love it if you stayed with us on BBC One from | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
streaming finals coming up. We have a bit of hockey for you as well on | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
the Red Button. Argentina take on Japan. However, if tennis is your | :17:23. | :17:31. | |
thing and you want some Australia and Japan, Kay Nishikori taking on | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
John Millman is on centre court available online. Novak Djokovic, | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
who we saw yesterday evening go out in the singles, is back on Court | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
number one representing Serbia in the doubles. Croatia taking a | :17:45. | :17:54. | |
Montenegro. We left it at half-time, Croatia leading by 5-4. Although I | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
think they scored again. That is available online. | :18:03. | :18:44. | |
I wonder how many people woke up this morning in the UK and heard | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
about Adam Peaty and got out the slimming goggles and the bathers and | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
dive into the pool. Let remind ourselves of the four men who won | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
gold in the pool. David Wilkie is at the least superb. It is a new world | :19:04. | :19:13. | |
record for Great Britton. He has come back marvellously. It is a gold | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
medal for Duncan Goodhew. This is quite extraordinary. There | :19:18. | :19:34. | |
is oceans of clear blue water between Adam Peaty and the rest of | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
the world. Absolutely fantastic. Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
Great Britton by an absolute street. Olympic champion, gold medal, Adam | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
Peaty of Great Britton. A night that will live long in the memory. We are | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
concentrating this evening on the swimming finals, back to the pool | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
and Helen and Rebecca very shortly. James Guy's final at 221 AM. Could | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
we look at another medal for Team GB? That bring up-to-date with the | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
gymnastics today. -- let's bring you. | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
Where will we go with yes to this? Where will we put our money? It | :20:16. | :20:29. | |
could go anywhere. Come on. Now he needs a big dismount. Beautiful | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
double straight with Phil twist. Fabianski from Russia on pommel | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
horse. Russia going good, that was a great routine. Things not going to | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
plan for Japan. That was a beautiful turn and half twist. Such an | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
exciting dynamic young gymnast. Six star value, it will be hard, and | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
wow, it was well landed as well. That was right on the top of his | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
game. These guys are making these enormously difficult vaults look so | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
simple. Alex Naddour, the 25-year-old, fourth highest | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
qualifier on vault as a team for the US, what can they do here? A super | :21:24. | :21:35. | |
controlled 22 in the pipe pike position. USA will not sit down and | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
roll over. Regarded as the finest gymnast on the planet. Absolute | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
style, beautiful, full of grace all the way through. That is how you | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
land a parallel bars routine, isn't it? Max Whitlock on high bar, | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
working on all six bees of apparatus, doing everything he can | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
to get Great Britton that Olympic medal. Here comes the dismount and | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
he is quick and speedy on the double twist and the double straight. Three | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
excellent Borbridge teams from the British lads. China on their way. | :22:10. | :22:21. | |
Japan leave Russia in second. China in third and Great Britain are in | :22:22. | :22:35. | |
fourth. I think that was four. Itchy mirror, -- issue mirror, lovelies | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
triple twist. Lewis, we need you now. What a shame. To date it was | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
not his day. As it stands it is Japan, China, Great Britain, where | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
Russia going to finish? All eyes are on the scoreboard? It is a silver | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
medal for the Russians. Japan get a gold medal. | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
Well done Japan, disappointment for Team GB in the men's final. We shall | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
be concentrating on the women's gymnastic final. All eyes shortly on | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
the American team, especially Simone Biles, red-hot favourite for the | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
gold medal. Adam Peaty's success winning a gold medal in the pool and | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Jazz Carlin cosmic remarkable comeback missing at London 2012 foot | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
we've been learning about their training regimes, we're looking at | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
the four-year sacrifice. Four years, 208 weeks, 126 million, | :23:33. | :23:51. | |
144,000 seconds. That is the time period, the defining time period, | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
that articulates both the peril and privilege of being an Olympian. The | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
thing that got me into cycling was this dream of being able go to the | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
Olympic Games and compete for Great Britain. Every year you do come | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
every day you train, is for the Olympics to be your best there. It | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
will be challenging, it will be tough, but this is what we live for. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
This creates the stakes. One tiny error on the grand stage and you | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
have to wait for years to correct it. The defending champion thrown | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
out for two false starts. Sometimes you never get a chance to correct | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
it. I've never actually hit the wall we talk about in the marathon but I | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
hit it with a bang in affluence. It took a lot of time to mentally and | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
physically get back. I did feel I had let a lot of people down. You | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
get one shot to get it right in four years and you always think it could | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
be your last chance to win Olympic gold. You could be introduced for | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
the rest of your life as an Olympian, that means something to | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
the world. Fundamentally the Olympic Games is not what happens in the | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
spotlight, this is stuff we never see, the training bases, the | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
altitude camps, the 5:30am on a frosty morning in February when all | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
you want to do is stay in bed. If you have a life when you're | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
preparing for the Olympics then you aren't doing it right. It is so hard | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
to train and go up and down the black line 400 times in one day. I | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
have to get up savagely early and flog ourselves up and down this lake | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
and Ms weekends. These are not things it masochistically enjoy, | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
these are the price of success. What looks like an awful way to live your | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
life for us is normal, that routine is part of who they are and how they | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
live their life and therefore you just get on with it. Once you get | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
that feeling of being on the podium, you just want that. You say, I'm | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
tired, I'm going for a run. I need to get up. You have to sustain your | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
motivation for four years and make sacrifices for four years. You have | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
to make strangers of your family for four years. My life has essentially | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
been overtaken by a long jumper. Greg missed our first scan, he | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
almost missed my niece's first birthday. He misses a lot -- Milo's | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
Pavic deck. Being a dad is more important than being at -- and | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
athletes to him. As among it is difficult to fully switch off from | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
thinking about your child and if I didn't put 100% in and was just | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
wasting time it would be awful. I need to know that I'm doing this for | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
really good reasons and he will be able to look back and be like, wow, | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
look what man has done. When you get onto the stage itself, the | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
psychological danger flips. The problem now is not motivation, but | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
fear. You want to perform so much that you become paranoid that you | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
want. The key to being successful in that moment is being able to manage | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
your emotions and be able to maintain a sense of calm and being | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
present. Now has to look like I know what I'm doing and I'm in control. | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
The thing I love the most is that adrenaline. I love the fact that | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
when I walk into the velodrome I've realised that this is happening and | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
that kind of emotional feeling I get and I know I'm so ready for that | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
moment. There is an essential cruelty and sport. The juxtaposition | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
of the dreams, sacrifices of so many anti-top of the podium reserved for | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
just one. There is a cruelty to in that after an epic journey measured | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
in years, success and failure are measured in fractions. 1.8 seconds | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
is how long it takes to do one dive. All six of my dives are over faster | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
than Usain Bolt's race. It isn't just starting a and suddenly finding | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
yourself on the top of the podium, it takes so many setbacks and | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
setbacks and injuries and moments where you question if you want to | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
continue doing your spot to actually get you to that point and that is | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
what makes it so much sweeter when you achieve it. Ultimately it is how | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
we deal with the setbacks and challenges, how we deal with the | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
consequences of losing and winning that make us who we are. | :28:22. | :28:29. | |
Matthew reporting, who represented Great Britain in table tennis in | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
1992 in Barcelona and the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. Perfectly | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
setting up more live sport for you. It has been a super day for Paul | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
Drinkhall, these are live pictures, becoming only the third Briton to | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
reach the last 16 in the Olympic table tennis competition, beating | :28:48. | :28:57. | |
Croatia's Andre Gurteen. Looking to match the achievement of Devon and | :28:58. | :29:00. | |
Douglas in 1998 and can't bring in 1992, he has booked a place in the | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
fourth round against Batman, Vladimir Samsonov of Belarus. We | :29:06. | :29:08. | |
have live Slammy and coming up but let's eat to live to Riocentro -- to | :29:09. | :29:18. | |
Rio central. Moving well, getting around the backhand side of the | :29:19. | :29:20. | |
table to make us strong forehand topspin. Drinkhall is a senior | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
member of the England team who earlier this year at the world team | :29:26. | :29:28. | |
Championships in Malaysia got a bronze medal. The first time for | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
over 20 years in with have medalled at the World Championships. It was a | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
fine team performance. Paul Drinkhall contributing significantly | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
along with Liam Pitchford and Sam Walker. | :29:42. | :29:48. | |
Drinkhall was an outstanding junior, on the European Cadet Championships | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
and the European Junior Championships. That is the under 14 | :29:54. | :29:55. | |
and under 18 age groups. Samsonov just winning three | :29:56. | :30:02. | |
consecutive points. So consistent is the Samsonov once | :30:03. | :30:18. | |
he forces his opponent away from the table. Does not make many mistakes. | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
Has got to put him under pressure. Just miss timing the backhand | :30:23. | :30:31. | |
topspin. Edge ball. A bit of good fortune for | :30:32. | :30:56. | |
Britain's Paul Drinkhall, the halfway stage of this first game. | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
5-5. You can see how the ball went upwards, that demonstrates it has | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
caught the edge of the table rather than the side of the table. He did | :31:08. | :31:15. | |
all the hard work. Excellent backhand down the line to set up | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
beforehand topspin, slightly mistimed it. Tactics were good. | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
Execution unfortunately not quite as good. | :31:25. | :31:31. | |
Having been on 04 down, took a 6-5 lead. Excessive top spin. And again | :31:32. | :31:48. | |
the players taking the opportunity, both of them, two towel down, as | :31:49. | :32:01. | |
they can, every six points. That was a great backhand clock. | :32:02. | :32:17. | |
Vladimir... He came back with speed. A great flick. Samsonov, renowned | :32:18. | :32:30. | |
for his delicate touch. A well-placed flick right in the | :32:31. | :32:33. | |
corner of the table. Perfect placement. | :32:34. | :32:44. | |
And top-spin, putting Samsonov under pressure, but he managed to spin it | :32:45. | :32:59. | |
back each time. And the player from Belarus now has a 1-point lead. | :33:00. | :33:10. | |
Top-spin to top-spin rally. And it was England... Britain's polled Paul | :33:11. | :33:34. | |
Two game points for Vladimir Samsonov, Drinkhall just taking his | :33:35. | :34:02. | |
time. He has his two serves to come, still a chance, but he must take | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
both of these points first, first coming up. | :34:07. | :34:20. | |
Well done Paul Drinkhall, great rally, Samsonov spinning it back | :34:21. | :34:34. | |
away from the table, Drinkhall waited for the opportunity then | :34:35. | :34:37. | |
whipped one down-the-line. Good tactics. That is one out of one. Can | :34:38. | :34:42. | |
you take the second point with his serve to take this game to 10-10? | :34:43. | :34:47. | |
Taking his time. The serve drifted long. Samsonov Get in with a | :34:48. | :35:00. | |
forehand top-spin and takes the first game, 11-9. | :35:01. | :35:10. | |
You can see the serve just drifting long. Samsonov Can then play a | :35:11. | :35:18. | |
stronger top-spin. Exactly what he does. Punches the air with delight. | :35:19. | :35:26. | |
And the players, with their coaches, they have one minute to take on | :35:27. | :35:34. | |
board advice. 11-9, Vladimir Samsonov of Belarus wins against | :35:35. | :35:43. | |
Paul Drinkhall of Britain. His coach has done a wonderful job with Team | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
GB players, performing some of their best table tennis in 2016. Bronze | :35:50. | :35:55. | |
medal at the world team Championships with the -- polled | :35:56. | :36:12. | |
Paul Drinkhall, Liam Pitchford, and Drinkhall has already defeated two | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
players ranked above him in a great tournament, but he is trailing | :36:19. | :36:25. | |
having lost the first game here 11-9. Both players back at the | :36:26. | :36:34. | |
table. Second game, Paul Drinkhall of Team GB to serve. Great rally. | :36:35. | :36:41. | |
Both players playing on the diagonal. Drinkhall, playing the | :36:42. | :36:46. | |
forehand from the backhand side. Little bit of good fortune for | :36:47. | :37:04. | |
Drinkhall, very quick to raise his arm and acknowledge his good | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
fortune. One thing is for sure, Vladimir Samsonov will not let it | :37:09. | :37:15. | |
upset him. He will just focus on the next point. That was a good backhand | :37:16. | :37:23. | |
down the line. Drinkhall, already moving for the forehand, but just | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
cannot quite get across. Drinkhall, playing with good power. | :37:27. | :37:39. | |
Putting Samsonov under pressure. Again it is Drinkhall making the | :37:40. | :37:46. | |
better start. Leading 4-0 in the first game, and leading now in the | :37:47. | :37:54. | |
second game, can he keep it going? A wonderful return of serve. That was | :37:55. | :38:02. | |
the last thing Drinkhall expected. Wonderful tactics. | :38:03. | :38:11. | |
Three points each. Two very good returns of service from Samsonov. | :38:12. | :38:34. | |
What a great counter top-spin from Drinkhall, anticipated the top-spin | :38:35. | :38:47. | |
down-the-line, Samsonov goes for it, look at the top-spin and the side | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
spin, bending away from Vladimir Samsonov. | :38:52. | :39:05. | |
Interesting tactics from Samsonov, forcing Drinkhall away from the | :39:06. | :39:16. | |
table, but he did not go for the rocket, just played consistent | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
top-spin, kept the initiative, kept Drinkhall away from the table, who | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
did very well to return the top-spin, but clever tactical play | :39:28. | :39:28. | |
from the 40-year-old from Belarus. Consistent top-spin winning the | :39:29. | :39:46. | |
point for Samsonov. Time-out called by Drinkhall, each | :39:47. | :40:05. | |
player is entitled to one per match, it is only used when the player | :40:06. | :40:08. | |
feels that his opponent has the momentum. Samsonov, winning the last | :40:09. | :40:19. | |
three points. And if Drinkhall goes 0- two down that is a mountain to | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
climb against the number seven seed. So, I think, a good call by Great | :40:25. | :40:35. | |
Britain's Paul Drinkhall. He will be hoping to compose himself and will | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
be hoping that the break in play takes the momentum away from | :40:39. | :40:52. | |
Vladimir Samsonov. Alan Cooke played in the first ever Olympic Games, | :40:53. | :40:58. | |
when table tennis made its debut, in 1988, he had a good tournament. In | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
those days it was eight groups of eight. The top two went through, he | :41:04. | :41:12. | |
finished third in his group. Otherwise he would have qualified | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
for the last 16 when it became the knockout stage. Now it is knockout | :41:17. | :41:21. | |
from the word go. You lose your first game and you are out of the | :41:22. | :41:23. | |
tournament. 6-4. Samsonov To serve. So good with | :41:24. | :41:45. | |
the control, Vladimir Samsonov. Clients around the table. Very good | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
hands, good feeling. He is able to touch it delicately over the net. A | :41:52. | :41:59. | |
very fine touch skill. He is able to play with an enormous amount of | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
power. He just overhead that forehand top-spin down-the-line. | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
Always more difficult going down-the-line than across the table. | :42:08. | :42:10. | |
The target is that little bit shorter. | :42:11. | :42:22. | |
Drinkhall, now with his two serves to come. | :42:23. | :42:37. | |
Fishing a little bit away from the table, scrambling the ball back. | :42:38. | :42:45. | |
Samsonov, taking the initiative, forcing Drinkhall away from the | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
table, who did everything he possibly can to get back into the | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
rally, but he is now three points adrift. | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
What a backhand down the line. Took it straight off the balance. This | :43:00. | :43:08. | |
really is throwing caution to the wind. Just look at the backhand. | :43:09. | :43:16. | |
Samsonov, not even attempting to go for it, he could not believe the | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
speed which it rocketed down-the-line at. | :43:20. | :43:33. | |
Samsonov, edging toward 11 points. Drinkhall, he needs this point. And | :43:34. | :43:45. | |
he was unlucky. That was a good return of serve. The long, fast push | :43:46. | :43:52. | |
into the Samsonov backhand, but the control of the 40-year-old is quite | :43:53. | :43:58. | |
amazing. Four game point to the 40-year-old from Belarus. This time | :43:59. | :44:05. | |
backhand top-spin down-the-line, off the end of the table, Samsonov takes | :44:06. | :44:13. | |
the second game, 11-6. He now leads 2-0. | :44:14. | :44:21. | |
Paul Drinkhall up against it against a Vladimir Samsonov, ranked number | :44:22. | :44:32. | |
nine in the world, one of the very few players who can trouble the best | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
Chinese players in the world. It continues on the Red Button. If you | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
want to continue watching that, it is on the Red Button. Let's go live | :44:41. | :44:45. | |
to Helen, a big night of swimming finals. | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
So much to look forward to in the swimming pool, James Guy is chasing | :44:50. | :44:56. | |
a medal, but let's get stuck into the woman's semifinal of the 200 | :44:57. | :44:57. | |
freestyle. Just to the front of your shot is | :44:58. | :45:11. | |
Missy Franklin of the USA. Four gold medals in 2012. Fastest qualifier, | :45:12. | :45:26. | |
Micky Yule' -- McKeon of Australia. Barrett is in two for Australia. The | :45:27. | :45:33. | |
London 2012 bronze medallist. Medallist all over here. The first | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
semifinal of the women's 200 metres freestyle. And they must be careful | :45:39. | :45:44. | |
because the second semifinal is absolutely stacked, I would not be | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
surprised if gold, silver, and broadens comes from the second | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
semifinal. But this is the first. This morning it was McKeon and | :45:54. | :46:07. | |
Bonnie in good form. Barrett and Franklin have some history of... But | :46:08. | :46:14. | |
it looks like McKeon leading them out. Strong, beautiful one stroke | :46:15. | :46:18. | |
from the gold medallist in the 400 freestyle relay. A world | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
record-setting Australian team, I think you mentioned them. Women's | :46:23. | :46:29. | |
freestyle, originally called the Australian crawl when they first | :46:30. | :46:30. | |
name did. And they have dominated. Bonnie and direct taking the lead. | :46:31. | :46:44. | |
This is the least this is how she swam the heat. Interesting at the | :46:45. | :46:51. | |
top of the shop, four, three, two, all of them starting to push the | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
pace and it looks like maybe in three at the moment Shen of China, | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
six at the World Championships leading with 150 to go. It is | :47:00. | :47:07. | |
Barrett second and now the charge will come. It looks like it is at | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
the top of the picture. I think it is lame to be as you mentioned. The | :47:12. | :47:14. | |
19-year-old from China coming strongly through. All the way 1-5. | :47:15. | :47:20. | |
They have dropped lanes six. Missy Franklin will struggle to make the | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
final. Shen of China, looks like she's going very well inside the | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
last five metres. She might win his first semifinal of the women's 200 | :47:29. | :47:39. | |
free. She does. On first six .0. -- one. Missy Franklin, eight. A great | :47:40. | :47:49. | |
swing from Shen. The 19-year-old Chinese lady, very strong down the | :47:50. | :47:55. | |
third 50. He received the start from where we are commentating. We can | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
see that view. Coming down the first length was Shen. The Chinese with | :48:02. | :48:07. | |
the Black cap on. And here in the line. This was the slower of the two | :48:08. | :48:14. | |
semifinals. The fastest three in the world next year in the next | :48:15. | :48:17. | |
semifinal, so important to get one of the top three places, I think. | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
Looking over Shen had a quick look when she touched the wall. Two | :48:22. | :48:28. | |
halves in that first semifinal, Shen McEwan and Bonnie and Barrett in | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
1.56 six and a half and then it goes to 1:57.3. I feel like I need to | :48:35. | :48:42. | |
properly welcome you to the pool for the finals tonight, lots to look for | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
a two. James Guy going for a medal in the 200 men's freestyle and | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and Hannah Miley going on semifinals but why | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
now we're looking at Superstars elsewhere around the globe. Missy | :48:56. | :48:59. | |
Franklin, four gold medals in London, her four-year cycle hasn't | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
been brilliant, not grey form this year, what is going on? She just | :49:04. | :49:07. | |
seems to have gone off the boil. In 11, 12 and 13 she was the new star, | :49:08. | :49:14. | |
she was like Katie Ledecky now, she had an injury and started | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
university, so I would say, leave school. No, she's had lots of | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
distractions. She came eight and sometimes you got to remember, being | :49:23. | :49:26. | |
at the top for long time takes a lot out of you physically and mentally. | :49:27. | :49:31. | |
Judge Dott she's just out of sorts. She has been asked to do a lot, but | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
a lot of functions and charities in hospitals and she does everything | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
but if we speak about the old guard, Pellegrini in the next semifinal, as | :49:40. | :49:45. | |
you mentioned Camilla Jacqui and Sjostrom, what about Pellegrini, can | :49:46. | :49:49. | |
G up there in the medals? The great thing for Pellegrini is she's been | :49:50. | :49:53. | |
at the top of her game for so long. It is her world record and the World | :49:54. | :49:58. | |
Championships last year she got a silver medal and she is Olympic | :49:59. | :50:02. | |
champion from 2008. She is on the watch. I'm so excited about Katie | :50:03. | :50:10. | |
Ledecky, I think we saw her in the 4x100 freestyle in the first day | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
when she did a fantastic 100 metres split and then broke the world | :50:15. | :50:18. | |
record in the 400 metres, personally I think it is the thread but | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
Pellegrini is wanting to get on the podium so she will fight for a plate | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
in trying to swim of Katie and Sarah at the same time. This isn't Katie's | :50:28. | :50:33. | |
favourite event. She is aiming for medals. Least favourite, is the | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
sprint event for her, really. I think she will enjoy this one more | :50:38. | :50:41. | |
because you do when it is not your main event, it is not as much | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
pressure, no one expects her to get gold as much as they do in the 400 | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
and 800. The pressure is off her a little and she used it as a bit of | :50:51. | :50:54. | |
fun and something that is a bit different and to be honest I think | :50:55. | :50:57. | |
she wants the four gold medals from this week. She or he has won silver | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
and one gold, but she will want to add to that. This is the challenge, | :51:03. | :51:06. | |
this event, because before in the bag broke the world record of eight | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
she has in the back, she will win the 800 freestyle, this is the | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
challenge and champions like challenges. It is worth pointing out | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
this feels like a special place just now because we seem to of the | :51:18. | :51:22. | |
women's swimming world but now we're surrounded by the families of | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
champions, the Phelps clan are here, they will lose Becchio minutes, she | :51:27. | :51:30. | |
is desperate for a couple with Boomer and Chad le Clos, you got up | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
with the Phelps clan, how are they feeling? They were loving it, I | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
jokingly said will be Michael Posner plus experience and they went yes. | :51:40. | :51:47. | |
They went, my God, he has got more time. They are loving it. I said | :51:48. | :51:51. | |
Boomer would remember it but I'm sure you will record it and do it on | :51:52. | :51:55. | |
playback on day. More than enough pictures of Boomer, hundreds of | :51:56. | :51:58. | |
photographers to catch a glimpse of the Phelps clan. It is time for the | :51:59. | :52:00. | |
second semifinal now. The second semifinal is absolutely | :52:01. | :52:11. | |
stacked. The fastest qualifiers, Katie Ledecky of the USA but we have | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
the world record holder and Pellegrini and the great Lodygin, | :52:16. | :52:21. | |
can she win -- Katie Ledecky? Fostered in the world this year. | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
Here is Federico Pellegrini, Olympic champion from 2008 and world | :52:27. | :52:29. | |
record-holder, she said the world record six times in this event, | :52:30. | :52:36. | |
152.9 -- 1:52.98 is the world record. Amazing swimmers walking | :52:37. | :52:39. | |
out. One of two swimmers who have called ready -- gold-medal already | :52:40. | :52:45. | |
at these Olympics. The pressure is off. Sjostrom is a brilliance winter | :52:46. | :52:51. | |
and Katie Ledecky, it might not be her main event that we know her for | :52:52. | :52:56. | |
but she swam a phenomenal 100 freestyle, sub 53 in the American | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
really so I think she will be very strong in the 200. What a line-up, | :53:01. | :53:06. | |
three world record holders and 200 metres freestyle world record holder | :53:07. | :53:13. | |
of this event is Pellegrini, there is the fork the eight and 1500 metre | :53:14. | :53:20. | |
world record-holder, Katie Ledecky. And in five, Sarah Sjostrom, Sweden. | :53:21. | :53:27. | |
World record-holder in the 1500 fly. Tomorrow's final will be fireworks. | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
And a slightly slower first semifinal, so this could be | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
interesting. Absolutely, we could see five of these swimmers get | :53:39. | :53:40. | |
through. It is always easy when it does it | :53:41. | :53:52. | |
and the names on the hand. She is in lane eight but she is a European | :53:53. | :53:54. | |
silver medallist. Look out! Semifinal number two. The faster of | :53:55. | :54:07. | |
the two semifinals. The centre lanes, three, four, five and six, | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
Pellegrini, the Dickey, still strong and Coleman. The Swedes next to each | :54:13. | :54:15. | |
other with the yellow caps having a very good dive and first couple of | :54:16. | :54:23. | |
strokes out of the surface. You cannot out of print or swimmers | :54:24. | :54:26. | |
right now. They contribute it last such a significant final session for | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
me. And Adam Peaty, that makes and the three of them broke the world | :54:31. | :54:33. | |
record in their events, very dramatic height of swimming and to | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
come back and battle it out for the 200, look at straws trim. Coleman is | :54:38. | :54:44. | |
nearest to us, very steady. She is and very smooth but she is working | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
hard. What is really interesting, look at the decades leading in the | :54:49. | :54:53. | |
centre, she is hammering down this first 100, she is not a sprinter, | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
world record-holder in the four, eight and 1500 Suite -- freestyle | :54:58. | :55:01. | |
but first a turn, 50 5.6 and she is working really hard that it 55.6. | :55:02. | :55:07. | |
She looks very good in the yellow hat in the leading group. Pellegrini | :55:08. | :55:13. | |
is renowned, black cap three from the top, round for coming back | :55:14. | :55:17. | |
strongly on the second 100 metres. The two Black Caps keep an eye, is | :55:18. | :55:23. | |
just is three, thought. These three women should battle it out for, I | :55:24. | :55:27. | |
think the gold, silver and bronze tomorrow. Much quicker than the | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
first semifinal. This is fascinating full stop Sarah Sjostrom are | :55:33. | :55:35. | |
breathing away from Katie Ledecky in the Black hat and children is going, | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
she is trying to go away, the decking is trying to work very hard | :55:41. | :55:45. | |
but the speed of the straws trim -- Sarah Sjostrom, they are to test | :55:46. | :55:48. | |
other they don't need to is fast and decking is hammering the last 50. I | :55:49. | :55:55. | |
think shows that Sarah Sjostrom will get the touch. Very close. Look at | :55:56. | :56:05. | |
that, 1:54.65, -- -- .8 seconds. She is looking at the club going, I | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
think so. I agree, that was significant, I don't think the | :56:10. | :56:14. | |
decking -- Katie Ledecky did not want to lose that, there is Sjostrom | :56:15. | :56:17. | |
much stronger in the last few metres. Very interesting. Did the | :56:18. | :56:24. | |
relay, lead of last year, did a faster time than Katie Ledecky's | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
individual win. You are right, private battles between these two | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
are not necessarily known for the 200 free, this is the third turn. | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
Katie Ledecky going earlier and quicker than Sarah Sjostrom but the | :56:39. | :56:45. | |
power and strength came from Sarah Sjostrom at the end. It certainly is | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
and I'm not a professional phase reader but that smile, the cheeky | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
smile that sort of says I did it, I was head-to-head and I won that | :56:55. | :56:58. | |
battle, think that is one up to Sarah Sjostrom. It all even the | :56:59. | :57:02. | |
matters to make the final, but a nice glide in. There are nice. That | :57:03. | :57:09. | |
is a nice touch too on the right forearm. The two Swedish swimmers | :57:10. | :57:15. | |
doing very well. I think Coleman qualified as well in fifth place. We | :57:16. | :57:19. | |
will see that shortly but the two Swedes having a great semifinal. The | :57:20. | :57:25. | |
second semifinal was quick, Sarah Sjostrom winning it with Katie | :57:26. | :57:30. | |
Ledecky second. A fascinating battle and Pellegrini will certainly be in | :57:31. | :57:40. | |
the final tomorrow. Four qualify. Interesting, very clear definition | :57:41. | :57:43. | |
in the first four and then there is a split. A second gap between fourth | :57:44. | :57:55. | |
and fifth. Sarah Sjostrom goes on fastest, Katie Ledecky second, | :57:56. | :57:57. | |
Pellegrini third, all from that final heat. What a final tomorrow | :57:58. | :58:03. | |
night that will be. Granted it is only a semifinal but unusual for | :58:04. | :58:07. | |
Katie Ledecky to touch the wall second. What effect will that have | :58:08. | :58:11. | |
on her head? She has never lost a race at a major meat, so I don't | :58:12. | :58:14. | |
think she will like that, it was strange that over the last 25 metres | :58:15. | :58:19. | |
Sarah Sjostrom swam away from her because you would think Katie would | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
have the back end and the injuries, so I think that was a bit of a shock | :58:24. | :58:27. | |
to us all that she could be playing games. It is fascinating in the | :58:28. | :58:31. | |
sense you have Pellegrini as the 200 freestyle world record holder and | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
Sarah Sjostrom comes from butterfly to freestyle and Sprint butterfly, | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
she has that turn of speed at the end and I think she played and knew | :58:40. | :58:43. | |
she had more in the end, I thought Katie Ledecky would bring back | :58:44. | :58:48. | |
because no deck it does -- Katie Ledecky is an animal, but it showed | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
a complete different race, that is fascinating for tomorrow. And a | :58:54. | :58:55. | |
cheeky smile from Sarah Sjostrom that I think said game on. Jason. | :58:56. | :59:01. | |
Thank you. We will that with you shortly. That bring you up-to-date | :59:02. | :59:04. | |
with what is happening in the table tennis. Paul Drinkhall representing | :59:05. | :59:08. | |
Team GB in his last 16 match against Vladimir Samsonov, the world number | :59:09. | :59:14. | |
nine in complete control of this match. Three games up, that is | :59:15. | :59:20. | |
available on the Red Button. Protest that if you want to continue the | :59:21. | :59:24. | |
live table tennis. As for the tennis, this happened a short time | :59:25. | :59:30. | |
ago, Novak Djokovic representing Serbia, beaten last night by Qun Ma | :59:31. | :59:34. | |
Team Bella Gotrel -- on Mateen Del Potro in immense symbols and is now | :59:35. | :59:41. | |
out of the men's doubles losing too Brazil. Marcelo Melo and Bruno | :59:42. | :59:45. | |
Soares. This is happening on Centre Court. Kay Nishikori. A setup, too | :59:46. | :59:54. | |
one up in the second set and looking good. That fellow looks really | :59:55. | :59:55. | |
tired. There we go come if you want that is | :59:56. | :00:07. | |
available online. Back to Helen in the pool. James Guy is world | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
champion in the 200 meter freestyle, tonight he is chasing a medal in | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
that very event. Out of the pool, he likes to do something not many | :00:20. | :00:20. | |
swimmers get stuck into. It is very unusual for Ivanovic | :00:21. | :00:44. | |
athletes does look for other big athletes to being gauged and | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
fishing. I've been fishing for years and love it, obsessed. A great way | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
to shut down and shut off from swimming and have something really | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
different. It isn't all about pace, it is about what bait you use and | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
float, it is a way to relax and enjoy myself. | :01:01. | :01:15. | |
This is going to be really close... James Guy, Champion, 200 metres | :01:16. | :01:29. | |
freestyle! Well done, sir. To get another medal was pretty special. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Success at Rio would be getting a personal best, is that because two | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
medal territory. And to do Great Britain and by family proud. They | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
have done so much for me, so to pay back then. It will be a dogfight to | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
the finish. I will try my best. He trains in the south but he is a | :01:49. | :02:01. | |
proud Northerner. We are all behind you, James, good luck. Do your | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
thing. A controversial character, line four | :02:04. | :02:33. | |
Sun Yang almost setting himself up as the villain. The two metres | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
freestyle. The world record holder is in six. And right at the top, Le | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
Clos, he will be a really fast. What will happen? They will swim four | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
lengths really quickly and three people will get medals. James Guy, I | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
am not sure. He has got to be in amongst it. I want to get amongst it | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
early. I don't want him fighting back on the last hundred. We saw | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
that in the World Championships. That piece of film and we have just | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
seen. He came back strongly against Sun Yang. But he has got to swim a | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
little differently, in Elaine Aigner Sun Yang. But he has got to swim a | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
little differently, in Elaine Lane eight. The world-record holder, | :03:32. | :03:44. | |
Biedermann. Big breath. Come on, James. The final of the men's 200 | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
metres freestyle. A fantastic start on the right-hand side your shot. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Look at that. He is a body length ahead of the rest after 50 metres. | :03:58. | :04:10. | |
Le Clos, he will go, try to hold it, hang in there, and it is whether the | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
rest can catch him. That is a crazy first 50 metres. James Guy is going | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
very well, 1.3 seconds behind the leader, in third position, possibly | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
second, closest to us, you cannot quite see him, but he is second. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
Dwyer is going well in three. But surely this is much too fast, and | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
the far side, away from everybody, look at this, he is leading by | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
nearly a second. It is crazy. Dwyer is enjoying it in three. He is | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
sporting Le Clos and hunting him down, taking the field with them. I | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
cannot imagine Le Clos will hold this. And ominously Sun Yang is | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
coming through. Well they have anything left to the final 50? Look | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
at how deeply has gone. He cannot hold his breath on that one. That | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
really hurts. Le Clos, hanging on, but Sun Yang, in pink, is he going | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
to win this? James Guy still going relatively well but the rest of the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
field is overtaking him. Le Clos, still going well, but Sun Yang will | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
take the gold. A brave, silver medal for Le Clos South Africa. And James | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
Guy has just been touched out in fourth position, by 16 hundredths of | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
a second. So close to a bronze medal. What an exciting race. Le | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
Clos, he was hanging in there, and has an African record. Showing on | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
the clock. I thought the whole thing would fall off. But his arms would | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
fall to the bottom and he would not finish the race. What guts. What a | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
great swim. But the pacing of Sun Yang, it was perfect. He is nobody's | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
favourite. If he is not careful he will start getting some boos. Le | :06:31. | :06:46. | |
Clos The start -- Le Clos, his start! We have seen Michael Phelps | :06:47. | :06:58. | |
do this. There is his mum and dad. They have had some troubles. Both | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
are getting through cancer. What a brave silver medal. Dwyer, my man, | :07:05. | :07:18. | |
gets a medal. Remember James Bond... The great big guy, what's his name? | :07:19. | :07:40. | |
Was it Jaws? Well, that went well! He swims better than he throws his | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
water cap. Mack Horton called him a drug cheat in his press conference | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
and got about 2 million responses on the Chinese version of Twitter. He | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
did, he called him a drugs cheat, saying, well, it is because he took | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
and drugs. What a final. A brilliant, brave swim from Le Clos. | :08:09. | :08:18. | |
Dwyer gets bronze. And James Guy, so close, 16 hundredths. I tried to | :08:19. | :08:28. | |
control it like yesterday but I was unlucky and came fourth. It is | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
devastating. I can hear it in your voice. It was such an interesting | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
race, Le Clos went away like a rocket. He is a good guy and uses | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
his strength under water. I knew I had a chance of coming back fast. I | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
just missed out unfortunately. Different people swam a different | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
way. Of course, I realised that at the start of the meet, the worlds | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
are here and the Olympics are up here. In the first few days I let | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
this woman control me and I was not in control of the swimming. But I | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
getting into the meat now, and ready to do it on the last day with the | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
boys. You are still only 20 and have another couple of Olympic Games in | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
you. Yes, it has not been the perfect right, but I have enjoyed | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
it, come forth, and if I was told a few years ago you could make two | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Olympic finals I would have taken it. You will now have a bit of a | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
rest because you have the relay at the end of the week. Yes, looking | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
forward to that, I will give it everything for Team GB and my | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
family. Get some rest, we will see you soon. Thank you. | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
It is almost the worst position, fourth, at one point you thought he | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
would sneak it. We have seen Le Clos start well and then die off late on, | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
that's where I thought James would overtake him, but it was still a | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
good time, only 0.3 from his personal best. He will be pleased on | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
reflection that he got down to where he wants the time to be. Just a | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
shame that there's obviously a certain person in that field... He | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
would have been on the podium were that the case. That is more | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
devastating, someone who should not even be there. You are talking about | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
Sun Yang, he served a drugs ban, and it was only announced afterwards, so | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
not everybody's favourite person. Every athlete wants a clean sport. | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
We all want lifetime bans to stop people from cheating. Anyway, but... | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
It was a fantastic race. He did well. He looked like himself, had | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
more colour back in his face, it looks good for the other coming up | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
at the of the week. The woman's 100 metres backstroke final. We have to | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
talk about Hosszu, having a phenomenal week. And a busy week. | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
Look at this. A heck of a schedule. Swimming at this level in any race | :11:14. | :11:26. | |
is demanding, they are older mending races. I hope she swims really hard | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
and is then tired of the race with shop on tomorrow night, I would love | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
for Siobhan to get a medal. Your wish may come true. Andy, Adrian, | :11:40. | :11:51. | |
you heard what was said, I am sure you will join in with that opinion! | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
There is Hosszu, and what an extraordinary world record in the | :11:58. | :12:07. | |
400 medley. Amazing. But the swimmers who could win this are all | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
over the place. In layman one, the world champion Emily Seebohm. | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
Hosszu, in Fife. And the European champion, Nielsen, in seven. The | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
final of the 100 metres backstroke for women. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
I have to say that the winner could come from anywhere. A decent start | :12:34. | :12:48. | |
at the bottom from Smoliga the USA. Hosszu And Baker will have the race | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
of their lives. The 19-year-old is looking strong. Anything around 58.5 | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
will win it. Seebohm, going strong, turning first, five hundredths of a | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
second ahead. She does not want to let this go. By far the fastest | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
swimmer. At the turn of Kathleen Baker in the centre was quite | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
brilliant. Coming through in five is Hosszu. Baker in the black cat. | :13:20. | :13:29. | |
Also, seven, Nielsen. And coming through in three is Fu. Oh my | :13:30. | :13:39. | |
goodness, Hosszu, in the last few metres, just ripped it. 58.4. | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
Relatively slow time, but she adds to that brilliant world record, | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
Hosszu, can you believe it? Very strong in the last five metres. We | :13:59. | :14:13. | |
saw her schedule. It took just around 58.5 to win it. The rest of | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
the swimmers did not get down below 58.75. All the swimmers are still in | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
the pool. Apart from Emily Seebohm who has got out already and is | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
pretty much walking away from the side of the pool. What a shocking | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
Olympics for her. She was so disappointed in 2012 to lose out to | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
Missy Franklin after qualifying fastest. Came second and got the | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
silver. I think she was seventh in this race. 59.1, far left of your | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
shot, really off the pace. And she was first to 50 as well. Some of the | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
swimmers in the outside lanes feel like they're only way of doing it is | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
to blast out. Caution going to the wind and all that sort of stuff. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Maybe the irrationality goes as well. Sometimes your emotions cannot | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
control you in these situations. You need to be cold, calm, calculating. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
She is. Remind me never to get on swimming. Hosszu, winning gold in | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
the hundred metres backstroke. Baker, silver, and tied with Fu, | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
Masse takes bronze. Hosszu, she does not look tired, she | :15:40. | :15:57. | |
is absolutely fine. How dare she! She just does not slow down. She | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
accelerated in the last 25 metres. How is she so good in so many | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
events? I don't know, if I did, I would be making a comeback. It is | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
one of those things. She races so much. Her husband/ coach have a very | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
unique relationship. He just goes crazy when she races. He is | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
exhausting to watch, that man, he is not hard to miss, he has a ponytail | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
and goes bananas whenever she is in the water. Another couple of bits to | :16:33. | :16:48. | |
come, after we find out how Paul Drinkhall is getting on. Against the | :16:49. | :16:58. | |
world number nine Samsonov, who took the first three games, Drinkhall has | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
since remarkably saved a number of match points to take the game. That | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
match can be joined live now on the Red Button. Let's hope that | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
Drinkhall can stay in it. That is live on. Back to Helen. But | :17:15. | :17:34. | |
on the Red Button. The men's backstroke, already some pretty good | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
times in the pool and looking down the start list, particularly at the | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
Americans, this could be really fast. Is that world record going to | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
go? Think they will get close. Under 52 Crawley Western which one person | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
has been -- only one person has been under 52. Murphy has been 52.1 as | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
luck or, if anyone can do it, these are three of the best. They came | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
close last year so when you add the occasion to this, what kind of | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
effect does this stage have on your ability to go fast? It gives you the | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
little extra 1% that the athletes speak about and I spoke with the | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
individual medley people, sometimes you need 1% and you find it from | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
somewhere, just from the crowd or see your team-mate or your mum and | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
dad waving yuan, which you can do here, it is the 1% and for these | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
guys a will push at each other and they are against the best in the | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
world, all Hungary for that medal. Take us to this one. You join us | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
with three swimmers to be presented, that was the favourite, Mitch Larkin | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
of Australia. Here, the two Americans coming out of a David | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Plummer of the USA and Ryan Murphy and four, the fastest two. Would | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
love to show you Camille Lacourt of France in Lane six and three, four, | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
five and six are very difficult to choose, but maybe this Guy, Ryan | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Murphy. For those Americans it is their first Olympic Games and what | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
tradition, America have won this event since 1996 and got one and two | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
of the last Olympics. Plummer a very strong in Lane for. 30 years old in | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
his first Olympics, father of two, he is a swim coach and he is here. | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
The USA has a fantastic tradition here. The Australians, his | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
girlfriend Justine seventh in the 100 metres backstroke, they were | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
meant to go gold and gold, what will happen here? The USA have won the | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
last five Olympic gold medals in the men's 100 metres backstroke. Is that | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
streak in danger? I don't think so, they are likely to do it, Ms didn't | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
look so good in the semis. You also mentioned Emily as his partner come | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
he will have to shut that. Speak about existing in a bowl for ten | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
minutes, you articles that off. He might feel for someone who's | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
definitely hurting around the back somewhere, but this is his race and | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
as world champion and someone who has consistently been racing very | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
well in this event, he has a better chance than the 200. The USA has | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
gone 1-2 in 2008 and 2012, can they do triple double? Mafi in four and | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
Plummer in, Larkin and look for -- and the court from France. The | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
starter help them a long time. The final of the men's 100 metres | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
backstroke, this will be fascinating. The Americans in the | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
centre, very good start from Ryan Murphy, 21-year-old from University | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
of California Berkeley, great start from him. Expect them to get under | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
the world record but in the first half. Relatively slow 25.3 five. All | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
of these swimmers in the semifinals are on world record pace and they | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
are right on it. Underneath world record pace that they brought so | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
strongly to break 52 seconds. Right now it is Larkin in three but Ryan | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
Murphy, very strong, still has 25 metres to go. It is anybody's. The | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
world champion in three, Mitch Larkin is starting to fade. This | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
looks like it is Ryan Murphy going well with the USA and maybe in five | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
it is Plummer. It will be close to the gold medal will go to Ryan | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Murphy of USA. Yes, it does. Murphy takes gold, China in the silver. | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
That is fascinating. The bronze to Plummer of the USA and Australia, no | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
gold medals in the 100 metres backstroke. Men or women. Larkin, | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
fourth. A great swim from Murphy, very strong into the turn and when | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
he came out of the water, asserted himself. The first Olympic Games, | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
brilliant. Came second in their trials and he was the second | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
American in. Very close to the world record, an Olympic record underneath | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
52, the only man under 52 and 31 hundredths away from Aaron Peers's | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
world record. The 21-year-old from University of California. Look how | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
powerful his thighs. Look at the start. I love watching them start, | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
flick the hips a little sideways, fascinating to see, but what was | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
great, is under what is good but the burst to the surface, then he used | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
energy to go forwards, Larkin had a great turn, better turn, but the | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
burst to the surface of Murphy wasn't that it was extraordinary. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
Clear win, Larkin getting an extra stroke in on the far left. The | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Australians expecting given they had the happy world champions men and | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
women coming into this, they expected the gold and it has been | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
hungering in America, David Plummer, 30-year-old getting the bronze | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
medal. First and third, the Americans maintain traditional gold | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
medal since 96 and one very happy Ryan Murphy, medley relay, a great | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
lead off with him, and they? Fascinating and a very quick time, | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
nearly the world record. Three 100s out. Ryan Murphy wins gold, new | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
world record for him. A massive silver medal for Xu Jiayu. What you | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
make of Ryan Murphy's time? Wow! And believable. Mark said it before the | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
race, he thought they would get really close and dip under the 52 | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
seconds to do that is crazy. You can see how happy he was an fight | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
result. It is bizarre because when he came out he was the only one who | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
looked a bit like a shrinking violet. He didn't look confident. I | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
think Murphy swims in America but in the collegiate system and has won | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
for the last three years and that collegiate system races are so | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
strong and he broke and smashed her salt's records all over the place. | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
He is in form and coming in here and doing it. Larkin was world champion | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
last year and called out, the court has won the world, he blew out, it | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
shows you when the pressures in the mix and the adrenaline kicks in, you | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
must be able to do it, Americans tend to love that environment. A | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
shame from its Larkin The Miz girlfriend also bombed out, it will | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
be a quiet night in their house. -- from Mitch Larkin and his | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
girlfriend. Actor Jason to find out how Paul Drinkhall is getting on. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
Very much. Paul Drinkhall in his last 16 match against Vladimir | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Samsonov of Belarus. Samsonov is number nine in the world, after a | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
great start winning three games but Drinkhall saved seven match points | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
to take the fourth. We will show you what happened on the fifth game when | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
we join up with Drinkhall. Looking like Samsonov isn't dwelling | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
on the past. Has focused on this fifth game, to act points adrift | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
with two serves to come. Very fluent backhand and forehand | :25:21. | :26:05. | |
topspin is from Samsonov. Still, Paul Drinkhall leads 6-4. Two serves | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
to come. A bit of good fortune from Vladimir | :26:08. | :26:22. | |
Samsonov. It acknowledges that it, the ball hit the top of the net and | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
trickled over. No one point in it. -- there is now. The ball down the | :26:30. | :26:40. | |
line, said it through quite flat, no topspin on the ball. Forcing | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
Drinkwater left. Six points each now. -- Drinkhall. | :26:49. | :27:03. | |
It is a great return of serve. Use the spin and side spin with Samsonov | :27:04. | :27:14. | |
on the ball, flick it wide. Has the side spin and uses it to angle it | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
wide to the forehand of Samsonov. Clever play by Paul Drinkhall. | :27:19. | :27:27. | |
Two points against the service. Paul Drinkhall with his two serves to | :27:28. | :27:35. | |
come. Staying close to the table, looking | :27:36. | :28:01. | |
to get in. A good flick and there he is, quick on his feet around the | :28:02. | :28:03. | |
backhand, strong forehand topspin. The return of serve was great, the | :28:04. | :28:48. | |
forehand down the line. Three-game points for Paul Drinkhall, you can | :28:49. | :28:55. | |
sense he is beginning to get on top. Currently 3-1 down. But he is | :28:56. | :28:58. | |
dominating just now, no question. The backhand down the line from | :28:59. | :29:12. | |
Drinkhall, he takes the fifth game 11 - seven. It is a Vladimir | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
Samsonov who leads by 3-2. We will show you the conclusion of | :29:17. | :29:36. | |
that later. It is continuing on the Red Button if you want to watch the | :29:37. | :29:40. | |
table tennis. Let's show you what is happening in the men's singles. Kay | :29:41. | :29:43. | |
Nishikori is through to the third round of the men's singles, just | :29:44. | :29:46. | |
seeing off the challenge of John Millman. | :29:47. | :29:59. | |
Yes, you join us at a medal ceremony. It will be interesting to | :30:00. | :30:09. | |
see how everyone react to Sun Yang. He has served a drugs ban, is a | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
controversial character in the pool, he gets himself into a lot of | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
scrapes. Andy and Adrian, let's see how people react. | :30:21. | :30:27. | |
Well, he has got some applause. An interesting mixture. There is a chap | :30:28. | :30:38. | |
below us doing very loudly. But Sun Yang, you have to say, paste it very | :30:39. | :30:49. | |
well -- booing the very loudly. That might be his only gold. It was a | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
really well paced swim and in the end, he won it by 50 51 hundredths | :30:55. | :31:03. | |
which is not a small margin. The Olympic champion men's 200 metre | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
freestyle, Sun Yang of China. Olympic champion, men's 200 metre | :31:07. | :32:05. | |
freestyle. It is Sun Yang of China. A gutsy silver medal to Chad le Clos | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
of South Africa in the green tracksuit and a great bronze for | :32:11. | :32:16. | |
Conor Dwyer of the USA. Great Britain's James Guy finishing in | :32:17. | :32:22. | |
fourth position just outside the medals. | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
Interesting to see Chad le Clos, as he was getting onto his podium he | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
was stretching and fidgeting around. He has still got his goggles around | :32:33. | :32:37. | |
his neck! I love it! He has got to get back in in a minute. It makes me | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
laugh, you could take them off and put them in your pocket. Does it put | :32:42. | :32:46. | |
him at a disadvantage because he has to get back in the pulpit as Max not | :32:47. | :32:55. | |
for that race. He went and did his own thing. But Phelps and Laszlo | :32:56. | :33:02. | |
Czeh are nice and fresh. To be honest, he has got it in the bag but | :33:03. | :33:07. | |
it will be hard going to get up and do four length of the butterfly | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
stroke which is incredibly difficult anyway. Let's talk about Ruta | :33:12. | :33:20. | |
Meilutyte. The next final we have is the women's 100 metre breaststroke | :33:21. | :33:29. | |
final. Back in 2012, Ruta was a 15-year-old girl who did something | :33:30. | :33:34. | |
very special indeed. Ruta Meilutyte, 15 years of age, her | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
first major Championship. Heavens above, she is miles ahead. | :33:38. | :33:47. | |
She has just made the Olympic champion looked rather ordinary. | :33:48. | :33:53. | |
A new Olympic record and Ruta Meilutyte has qualified for the | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
Olympic final fastest. She is holding an inlaid four for | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
Lithuania. They have never won a medal in the swimming pool. It will | :34:04. | :34:09. | |
be tight. Gold medal to Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania and Plymouth, | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
let me tell you. Is this special? It is too much for | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
me. I can't believe it. I can't believe it! Olympic champion aged | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
15. Well done! A lot has happened in the last four | :34:25. | :34:36. | |
years for Ruta Meilutyte. She is the girl who jumped on to international | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
scene, it was a prize medal and everyone fell in love with her. We | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
like to claim her as if she is one of our own because she trains in the | :34:45. | :34:48. | |
UK. It has been a bit up and down but she is still Olympic champion. | :34:49. | :34:53. | |
No one can take that away from her. I personally think she has been | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
struggling in the last 25 metres throughout the heats and the | :34:59. | :35:13. | |
semifinals. I think it will be tough for her but she has had a tough | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
year. Let's talk to Sharron Davies. You have spoken to Ruta Meilutyte, | :35:18. | :35:19. | |
you were almost trying to convince her that she had won the medal. I | :35:20. | :35:22. | |
remember that interview. I did all the talking. We have 315-year-olds | :35:23. | :35:28. | |
who won gold medals four years ago and one of those was Katie Ledecky | :35:29. | :35:31. | |
and they are both back in the pool again. It will be a controversial | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
race this one because we have Yulia Efimova from Russia who has been | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
banned twice and obviously made that appeal and is back in the water. Not | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
a great night for drug takers in the pool, I have to say. I am quite | :35:46. | :35:51. | |
staunch on these kind of things and Paul rolled James was fourth and he | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
could have been third, maybe. I feel like that is a discussion we will | :35:56. | :36:00. | |
delve into over the next few days and you are valid in your opinion, | :36:01. | :36:07. | |
Sharron. Let's talk about Ruta Meilutyte. She has dealt with injury | :36:08. | :36:14. | |
and she has a steely character. She had a bad accident not so long ago. | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
If you look carefully she has a nasty scar on her elbow. She is one | :36:20. | :36:24. | |
of the only ladies I know who can do it on the chin. I am from Plymouth | :36:25. | :36:31. | |
and she trains in Plymouth and we would love to see her win. I think | :36:32. | :36:39. | |
lots of people would and we kind of claim her because she trains in the | :36:40. | :36:53. | |
UK. I went down there and saw Ben Brown because she trains down there | :36:54. | :37:00. | |
with John Rudd. They have a gym there and it was a wonderful setup | :37:01. | :37:07. | |
and the work they do is the nominal. She was Olympic champion at 15 years | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
of age. That is something special in itself. I think with the injuries | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
she have struggled to get back to where she was before and her and | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
Yulia Efimova have struggled. Also Lillia King. We are quite strong on | :37:22. | :37:26. | |
this and I do hope Yulia Efimova does not win and King or Ruta pull | :37:27. | :37:38. | |
it out of the bag. Let's ring people up to date. Efimova served a drugs | :37:39. | :37:44. | |
ban, she came back, she tested positive for a banned substance. She | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
appealed that while it was investigated. After lots of toing | :37:50. | :37:53. | |
and froing and appealing to different bodies, she is here and | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
she is going to race. It will be interesting to see how she goes in | :37:58. | :38:02. | |
this one. There she is. She looks slightly nervous. It will be | :38:03. | :38:08. | |
interesting to see how people react to her. Andy and Adrian, I would | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
also like to get your opinion. Adrian, you were part of the | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
athletes commission who convinced the BOAC to put a lifetime ban on | :38:18. | :38:22. | |
athletes who had served a drugs ban. That has been overturned but I know | :38:23. | :38:29. | |
you have strong views on this. Absolutely. They went out. If you | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
have a ban, you should not be allowed in the Olympic Games ever. | :38:33. | :38:39. | |
That is where I stand. It was interesting to see Lillia King | :38:40. | :38:47. | |
giving daggers to her. This is the final of the women's 100 | :38:48. | :38:54. | |
metres breaststroke. It would be great to see Alia Atkinson on the | :38:55. | :39:05. | |
podium. She is very quick. She was a silver medallist at the World | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
Championships. And here is Katie Miley. She could win. She is fourth | :39:11. | :39:20. | |
fastest in the world this year. Now, Ruta Meilutyte of Plymouth and | :39:21. | :39:29. | |
Lithuania, she has a great chance to become the first swimmer in history | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
to defend a title as a teenager. Wouldn't that be something? It | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
would. It is interesting that she comes back to Plymouth. She is a | :39:39. | :39:46. | |
real hero in Lithuania and feels responsibility for stepping up but I | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
think it might be too far for her here. Let's listen to this over | :39:51. | :39:58. | |
Asian. Well, I have got to say it is unpleasant. It is not all of her | :39:59. | :40:05. | |
making, I have to say, this situation. The IOC have got a lot to | :40:06. | :40:13. | |
answer for. Well, here is the fastest qualifier for this final, | :40:14. | :40:22. | |
Lilly King from the USA. She was standing behind Efimova and if looks | :40:23. | :40:32. | |
could kill. She had a big old smile. For a 19-year-old in her first major | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
championships, that is impressive. I think you called Katie Meili in name | :40:39. | :40:48. | |
two. I think Ruta has struggled. It is tense. Goodness me, focus, | :40:49. | :40:55. | |
definitely. I expect Alia to be out quickly. -- I expect Ruta to be out | :40:56. | :41:05. | |
quickly but Alia will also be quick. The black suit is Lilly King of the | :41:06. | :41:07. | |
USA, the fastest qualifier. Ruta has had a very quick reaction | :41:08. | :41:33. | |
to the gun and a good start. A good start from Ruta Meilutyte, also a | :41:34. | :41:39. | |
good start from Lilly King. Absolutely. Great start from Ruta | :41:40. | :41:49. | |
Meilutyte. In lane two, Katie Meili will stop and Lilly King going very | :41:50. | :42:00. | |
strong in lane four. Beautiful technique in lane five. At the | :42:01. | :42:08. | |
moment, it is Lilly King and Katie Meili, the USA and USA, but here | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
comes Efimova in the pink suit of Russia. At the moment, it is Lilly | :42:13. | :42:19. | |
King, the fastest in the world this year and still holding on. Efimova | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
is traditionally really quick in this last 15. Lilly King will win | :42:25. | :42:30. | |
it! Lilly King gets the gold! That is fantastic! So gutsy. She came out | :42:31. | :42:39. | |
almost with boxing gloves on. She was looking daggers at Efimova and | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
she has won the gold of the 100 metres breaststroke. A new Olympic | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
record. She won it by over half a second. Gold to King, silver to | :42:51. | :42:57. | |
Efimova and the bronze to Katie Meili of the USA. I thought lane | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
five was going to come through, but King dug in. She was propelled by | :43:04. | :43:11. | |
something special there. The 19-year-old getting under 65 seconds | :43:12. | :43:20. | |
for the first time will stop what a future she has ahead of her. A gold | :43:21. | :43:26. | |
medal, the first Olympics and Efimova, the second American with | :43:27. | :43:33. | |
that bronze medal. You can see a clear advantage getting in the water | :43:34. | :43:39. | |
first. Slightly off centre. It is a good old start but it doesn't half | :43:40. | :43:43. | |
make you wonky if you are not careful. Round the wall, you can see | :43:44. | :43:55. | |
that big fly kick. King did not do much of one. That is quite special. | :43:56. | :44:04. | |
You have to say the Americans were outstanding. How she held on in that | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
last 15 metres, I thought Efimova was charging. She came out with her | :44:11. | :44:14. | |
boxing gloves on, she was looking daggers and they're the embrace of | :44:15. | :44:20. | |
gold and bronze, King and Meili of the USA. Super smiles. It is | :44:21. | :44:29. | |
brilliant to see. I think King feels vindicated for the position she has | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
very strongly held. A fantastic gold medal. | :44:34. | :44:52. | |
Well, another teenage Olympic champion in this event. What a night | :44:53. | :45:03. | |
for the Americans. Thank gosh that happened! I think we are all very | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
pleased with that result. She did a fantastic swim, just didn't give up. | :45:09. | :45:15. | |
Lily was not giving it to her. Credit to Lily King, a lot of | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
discussion around would she be here or not, but I think Andy hit the | :45:20. | :45:26. | |
name on the head when he he said Lily came out with boxing gloves on. | :45:27. | :45:36. | |
Whatever you use as your motivation, she had been so strongly outspoken, | :45:37. | :45:44. | |
she wasn't going to give in at the end. I think that was the best win | :45:45. | :45:54. | |
of the week as far as the audience is concerned. Yulia Efimova will | :45:55. | :46:08. | |
feel that. But they have to take a stance, if you test positive for | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
something and there is a lifetime ban commission wouldn't be here in | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
those circumstances. Why do we have that Hannah Miley and suborn Rio, | :46:18. | :46:18. | |
coming up. What a great swim from Lily King -- | :46:19. | :46:28. | |
Lilly King. Let's bring you up-to-date with some table tennis | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
action. We have been watching Team GB's Paul Drinkhall. We left it at | :46:33. | :46:42. | |
3-2 and we join the action with Drinkhall leading 7-5 will stop. | :46:43. | :46:50. | |
COMMENTATOR: 7-5. Seven -- five consecutive points for Paul | :46:51. | :47:01. | |
Drinkhall. He's now got his two serves to come. Just over hit the | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
backhand top-spin. Did well A long, fast serve down the line. It | :47:06. | :47:40. | |
bounced a bit high. A very brave serve by Drinkhall. Seven points | :47:41. | :47:47. | |
each, his opponent with his two serves. Wonderful short touch play. | :47:48. | :48:04. | |
Kept the ball short over the net, soft hands required to do that and | :48:05. | :48:10. | |
now all of a sudden he can explode with power. | :48:11. | :48:18. | |
That is a great forehand top-spin down the line. Paul Drinkhall at | :48:19. | :48:25. | |
full stretch there, couldn't quite get his bat on the ball sufficiently | :48:26. | :48:34. | |
well to control it. So, a good run of points now by the number seven | :48:35. | :48:42. | |
seed. Probably needs both these points. That is another three match | :48:43. | :48:51. | |
points for Vladimir Samsonov. He's had seven already. This is his | :48:52. | :48:56. | |
eighth match point. Good backhand top-spin down the | :48:57. | :49:26. | |
line. Eight match points saved. Two more remain here. Can Paul Drinkhall | :49:27. | :49:35. | |
save ten match points? He has saved eight! The umpire asking the players | :49:36. | :49:43. | |
to keep play going. Oh! He's just over hit the forehand | :49:44. | :50:04. | |
flick and Samsonov takes the sixth game 11-8 and he wins this | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
fourth-round match by four games to two. It took him nine match points | :50:10. | :50:18. | |
to do it. You can see the relief on his face. What a great performance, | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
though, by Paul Drinkhall. But full marks to the Belarussian player, | :50:24. | :50:30. | |
Vladimir Samsonov. He held his nerve and he is through to the | :50:31. | :50:32. | |
quarterfinal. Well done, Vladimir Samsonov. | :50:33. | :50:38. | |
Well, Paul, that was some fight there but you just couldn't quite | :50:39. | :50:45. | |
pull off the comeback? He's a great player. I managed to somehow sneaked | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
the fourth set. I'm really satisfied with my game, I was playing well in | :50:51. | :50:53. | |
the first three and a couple of points here and there could have | :50:54. | :51:01. | |
changed it from being 3-0 to him to 2-1 to me. You conceded seven -- you | :51:02. | :51:11. | |
saved seven match points there. Does it show you how much you wanted to | :51:12. | :51:19. | |
be the first Brit in a quarterfinal? Yes, I just want to win. I'm driven | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
it was the other way round he would have managed to save those match | :51:24. | :51:27. | |
points as well. In the fourth set I found my timing and health on top of | :51:28. | :51:31. | |
my game. I let it slip a little bit in the last set but again, I don't | :51:32. | :51:37. | |
think I did anything wrong. I missed a few balls here and there but he's | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
a great player and it was a very good match. Paul Drinkhall. Samsonov | :51:42. | :51:49. | |
is one of the best players in the world, but fair play to Paul | :51:50. | :51:53. | |
Drinkhall, he hung on in there. Not the end of his Rio Olympics because | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
he goes in the team event alongside Liam Pitchford. We will pop back to | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
Helen shortly but let's just take you around the Olympics and show you | :52:04. | :52:08. | |
what's available this evening. If you want a bit of Beach Volleyball | :52:09. | :52:10. | |
Arena still going on, that magnificent arena on Copacabana | :52:11. | :52:17. | |
beach, it is Venezuela against Australia. That is on the Red | :52:18. | :52:23. | |
Button. If you fancy a bit of volleyball... Very noisy inside the | :52:24. | :52:26. | |
arena tonight because the host are playing this evening. | :52:27. | :52:34. | |
Great venue. Also its China against France in the basketball. That is | :52:35. | :52:44. | |
available on the BBC Sport website and the BBC Sport at. Here on BBC | :52:45. | :52:51. | |
One let's take you back live to the Olympic Aquatics Stadium and Helen | :52:52. | :52:52. | |
Skelton. You join us with the music | :52:53. | :53:02. | |
surrounding us. Well done to our Hungarian viewers, you can stay up | :53:03. | :53:08. | |
late and have a celebration but we are poised for the next chapter in | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
the great rivalry between Jana Cole and Michael Phelps. | :53:15. | :53:25. | |
COMMENTATOR: He looks worried. -- Chad le Clos. | :53:26. | :53:37. | |
Chad le Clos off very quickly in the green hat of South Africa. Michael | :53:38. | :53:49. | |
Phelps very quick to the turn. Phelps is slowing down a bit but he | :53:50. | :53:54. | |
will go for it. He didn't quite get to the turn as well as he normally | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
does. He's looking tired, 50 metres to go and still the first to turn. | :54:00. | :54:05. | |
If anybody can tough this out, Michael Phelps can. Is he going to | :54:06. | :54:11. | |
make history? Chad le Clos is pushing him... I don't think he got | :54:12. | :54:16. | |
it, he did not get it! My goodness me, Chad le Clos got the gold. | :54:17. | :54:18. | |
Silverton Michael Phelps. You've just beaten the greatest | :54:19. | :54:28. | |
swimmer ever in history! I can't believe it, I really can't! Michael | :54:29. | :54:35. | |
is my hero. I never ever get tired of watching that moment, because it | :54:36. | :54:41. | |
is hashtag unbelievable, as Chad's family emblazoned across their | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
T-shirts! For both of them, this is one of the great contest, great to | :54:46. | :54:51. | |
watch, great to see a play out. Talk us through Michael Phelps last | :54:52. | :54:54. | |
night. What you saw on his face last night was that raw emotion of, he's | :54:55. | :55:02. | |
missed this. I know he came back and you can see how much of a competitor | :55:03. | :55:09. | |
he is. How pumped he is... I think he wanted a bit more of this stuff. | :55:10. | :55:14. | |
Picking up his 19th gold medal in that relay last night. He's had a | :55:15. | :55:20. | |
couple of years away and he's had a lot going on outside of the pool. He | :55:21. | :55:26. | |
has said a lot publicly about how he's in a great lace, he's happy. | :55:27. | :55:28. | |
With Becky Becky, you've met his baby, so cute! | :55:29. | :55:38. | |
Michael Phelps seems to be in a very good players in terms of his head | :55:39. | :55:41. | |
space and in a press conference this week no one even asked him what he | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
was hoping to do this week because there was so much to ask about the | :55:47. | :55:49. | |
occasion. What is he hoping for tonight? Just making it through to | :55:50. | :55:55. | |
the final. I think he will hold something back. The main one is the | :55:56. | :56:00. | |
final, tonight is just a process to get there. Chad le Clos will be | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
feeling it especially down the last 50 metres. The only guy in the world | :56:07. | :56:16. | |
devastated when Michael Phelps came back! We know he is on form as well. | :56:17. | :56:24. | |
This is just about a process and getting through but I think Laszlo | :56:25. | :56:34. | |
will be wanting to make a statement. There has been a bit of trash talk | :56:35. | :56:43. | |
going on with their coaches. Michael Phelps's coach said Michael's turns | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
are better than ever before! Chad, it was wonderful when you saw that | :56:49. | :56:53. | |
clip when he said, he's my hero. Michael is the person he's had on | :56:54. | :56:56. | |
his wall can he's always looked up to him. Chad will front people up, | :56:57. | :57:02. | |
not in an aggressive way but every time he's been on the massage bed | :57:03. | :57:08. | |
can he's always eyeing the Americans up and saying I'm not scared of you. | :57:09. | :57:12. | |
You can see that in the wake he went out, he's not scared of hurting | :57:13. | :57:17. | |
himself either. The difficult thing for him tonight will be to get | :57:18. | :57:20. | |
through these semis, because he will be tired. But I think Laszlo is a | :57:21. | :57:27. | |
bit of a dark horse here. If he's on form when he gets to that final, | :57:28. | :57:33. | |
side-by-side with Chad and if he ends up on the outside, it's going | :57:34. | :57:36. | |
to be fascinating. Interesting would you say about Chad and how he is a | :57:37. | :57:42. | |
bit of a showboat because to his dad before we came on air he said it's | :57:43. | :57:46. | |
different for Chad now, he has the expectations of the nation on his | :57:47. | :57:50. | |
back. Maybe he's a bit different behind closed doors. Going into | :57:51. | :57:56. | |
Beijing, we were thinking, who is Becky Adlington? He only got a | :57:57. | :58:03. | |
bronze really! All right, back off! It is expectation, isn't it? From | :58:04. | :58:11. | |
being, not nobody, but a hungry competitor. You go from being the | :58:12. | :58:16. | |
hunter to the hunted. Completely. It's a different story in this event | :58:17. | :58:22. | |
to what we saw Chad do in the freestyle. I think the night is just | :58:23. | :58:27. | |
about making it through. I didn't personally think Phelps looks | :58:28. | :58:31. | |
amazing -- looked amazing and very smooth this morning. | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
CHEERING You can hear the crowd... I wonder | :58:37. | :58:38. | |
where he is from! Adrian, let's get stuck into one of | :58:39. | :58:46. | |
the greatest contests in Olympic swimming. | :58:47. | :58:49. | |
COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Helen. There is Zheng of Singapore. Now Seto | :58:50. | :59:01. | |
Japan can he was your favourite to that medley. I think he is an | :59:02. | :59:07. | |
outside bet to win a medal to night. I've seen him as a child with a | :59:08. | :59:12. | |
picture of Michael Phelps, his hero as well! We could see him having a | :59:13. | :59:18. | |
go at him in the final tomorrow. I think Mark is right about Laszlo | :59:19. | :59:30. | |
Cech easing off this morning. -- Laszlo Cseh. There is Laszlo Cseh. | :59:31. | :59:39. | |
Ironically nicknamed him the alien! I thought I had read something that | :59:40. | :59:43. | |
said he was the Alien, but it wasn't actually correct! When you see those | :59:44. | :59:50. | |
green goggles... Can you see where I'm going? I can see exactly where | :59:51. | :59:59. | |
you're going. Very scary but his mum inks he's beautiful! And I do too! | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Grant Irvine. You have got Japan in three and six, the third and fourth | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
fastest qualifiers. Australia in five, the second fastest, but Laszlo | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
Cseh of Hungary, the European champion, the world champion. Still | :00:23. | :00:35. | |
not won Olympic gold. There is Laszlo Cseh. A good-looking chap, | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
Ade! I think he's got a great chance. Just got to get through this | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
one, though. Interesting, Ade, you shave your head but you leave that | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
goggles strap sticking out bit on the back! Not sure you will get | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
streamlined by shaving all your hair off and then having that speed bump | :00:58. | :00:58. | |
on the back of your head! I do it know if you could hear the | :00:59. | :01:17. | |
Brazilian commentators next to us, but they were shouting all the way | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
through the take your marks of the men's 200 metre at a supply -- | :01:21. | :01:34. | |
butterfly. A great first length for Cseh. Slapping the water at the | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
front, very effective. This is going to be interesting. He | :01:37. | :01:52. | |
is going to post a which will cause the second semi to have a bit of a | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
thinker. His leg kick is very interesting, Andy. He is not using | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
his hit much at all. He kicks when his arms go in. Listen to the crowd! | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
CHEERING The Brazilians have gone absolutely | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
nuts here. He does have a strange stroke, and clearly straight arms | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
and a kick in the wrong place for me. The two Japanese swimmers in the | :02:27. | :02:37. | |
Black Caps separated by Laszlo Czeh in the middle. He held his glide a | :02:38. | :02:49. | |
lot longer than the rest, Cseh. Sakai in lane three the 21-year-old, | :02:50. | :03:02. | |
Seto coming back strongly. Sakai of Japan going well. Cseh gets it. | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
Another comfortable swim for him. None of these big fly swimmers are | :03:10. | :03:19. | |
good at swimming medium fast pace. That is another uncomfortable | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
comfortable swim. I get what you mean. When they do 155s, they do | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
look to be struggling a little bit. This guy can swim a good couple of | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
seconds faster than this, just holding something back. It does look | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
really difficult to hold back. Very effective with his kick but very | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
unusual. Arms, almost the hands touching at the front. Very good | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
flexibility. There are important to get to the front. I don't think they | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
are showing their cards yet, are they. You can read faces, but the | :04:05. | :04:16. | |
face of Laszlo Cseh, there is not too much happiness there. I am never | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
seeing too much happiness. It takes a little bit of breath. The first | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
semifinal. Laszlo Cseh, can he spoiled the | :04:30. | :04:46. | |
Phelps and Chad le Clos party? He was a full two seconds off what he | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
did three months ago. For me, it was a bit risky because you do not know | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
what will happen in the second semifinal. Dairies Mr Michael | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Phelps. What do you make of that behaviour? Not many people have the | :05:05. | :05:23. | |
headphones on. Phelps... Did you try and site people out? | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
You could swim along and drag each other backwards. Did the last | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
opportunity you get so I used to do some press ups. When I get nervous I | :05:40. | :05:51. | |
start talking to people and they said, we are about to go and race. | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
That explains it, you talk when you are nervous. | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
We were both in a relay with Mark Foster and he did like to chat and I | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
would say, go and talk to the Germans or something! I used as the | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
next EU and we would send Mark Foster to go and talk to the other | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
guys and do a cracking job of annoying them! He has changed a lot | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
now, Foster, love him to bits! He talks too much! No, he doesn't. Here | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
we go, the great Michael Phelps walking out in lane three. He really | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
looks focused. The cool, calm, quiet collected swagger of a 19 times | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Olympic gold medallist, 23 Olympic gold medals. That is a bit of a | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
mouthful, Chad le Clos's full name. And that is the 19-year-old | :07:02. | :07:19. | |
Hungarian, the fastest qualifier after the heats. He did well in the | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
heats. The fifth fastest time in the world this year. | :07:27. | :07:40. | |
There will be no playing around. I tell you what, the nerves of Tamas | :07:41. | :07:51. | |
Kenderisi. Chad is having a look around. Michael will not look at | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
him. Chad is having a chat! He is. He was looking over at Bromer. They | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
are staring at each other and Michael looks down the lane, he is | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
looking at his feet, where he will get on the block, where he will | :08:13. | :08:13. | |
place them. The second semifinal of the men's | :08:14. | :08:47. | |
200 metre fly. What a great start. Equal first, Michael Phelps and Chad | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
le Clos. He has to be careful going to much under water. Getting too | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
much oxygen burn will not be helpful. Phelps, very strong. | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
Listened to Bob Bowman talking about Michael Phelps. He said his turn was | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
the best turn he has ever seen in his life. Tamas Kenderisi doing very | :09:17. | :09:29. | |
well in lane four. Not being fazed by Michael Phelps. I remember | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
Stephen Parry not being phased by Phelps in Athens and taking him on. | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
Chad le Clos has had a little look around and Michael Phelps has got to | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
work pretty hard down the first 100. Chad has got to be little bit | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
careful here. Phelps going into this final turn may be a second, it looks | :09:54. | :10:03. | |
very comfortable indeed. Kenderisi coming back as he did in the heats. | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
Chad le Clos is a classy, classy swimmer. He is in third place at the | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
moment, working hard, looking to see if top three is enough. Kenderisi is | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
impressing me. He is going to win it. | :10:22. | :10:32. | |
The crowd has gone quiet! Goodness me! He looks pretty confident. A | :10:33. | :10:47. | |
thumbs up. That is massive. It is only the semi but Phelps was going | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
for that one. Phelps did not swim a great trial in the 200 fly. I think | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
he was quite concerned about it. He said he wanted to come back and do | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
something better and I think you worked that pretty hard. What we do | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
know about Michael Phelps is he never gives in. He is a strong, | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
strong fighter and when he is in a race, he finds something extra. | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
Kenderisi as a rookie, trying to take an Phelps, they are all at it. | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Somebody always has a go at him. Right now, in this particular race, | :11:27. | :11:39. | |
Kenderisi stronger at the back. Chad le Clos doing enough I believe to | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
make it in. Two Hungarian is in the top three. The result of the second | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
semifinal and a bit of a shock. That will create a fascinating | :11:54. | :12:18. | |
final. Kenderesi fastest. In the final, Phelps will be in lane five | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
and Chad le Clos in six. Game on. Don't let us stop you, you are | :12:21. | :12:35. | |
enjoying the tunes. We are at an Olympic Games in Brazil. Right, Chad | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
le Clos, Michael Phelps, Ding ding, the most fascinating contest in the | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
Olympics, but who else is in the mix? Kenderesi just threw himself in | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
there. He has a poster of Laszlo Cseh on his wall. I did mean that in | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
a weird way, they are both from Hungary. You have those two | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
side-by-side in three and four and Phelps and look -- Chad le Clos in | :13:08. | :13:27. | |
five and six. It is hard work. It is races like this which are | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
fascinating for nonswimmers. There is a lot of showboating going on. | :13:31. | :13:39. | |
Chad is an entertaining guide. Even the families are a total opposite. | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
Chad le Clos's family are screaming and shouting but the Phelps clan are | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
cool and calm. Bloomer is asleep. If you are in team Phelps, he is in | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
there so often, he has got so many gold medals they probably think, | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
whatever happens, it does not matter. In the last limpet games, he | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
was ahead and he got caught by Chad. -- in the last Olympic Games. Now he | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
has been caught by Kenderesi. He is planning to go out and hold on and | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
the others will all come back on him. That is how it will play out. | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
They swim very different races. Laszlo, you are fascinated by his | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
height and weight. A lot of people say he comes up too high but he sort | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
of dives forward with his stroke. One is not right and one is not | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
wrong, it is just different styles. We always maintained, it does not | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
matter what you look like on the surface, it is what you do | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
underwater. Why doesn't he wear a hat? So much emphasis is put on | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
shaving facial hair, surely the stubble on his head will make a | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
difference? I have never seen him wearing hats. Some people like to | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
wear headphones and listen to music beforehand. I do know, he just | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
doesn't like it. Sticking with hats and how, the women have such long | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
hair and so much hair. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor who we will see shortly, I | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
said to her, get it cut off! She looks pretty, leave her alone! You | :15:20. | :15:33. | |
need a speed comb. It is fine. It is probably lifting up more. A lot of | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
people where two hats. You wear one you tuck your hair into, then you | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
put your goggles on and then you put another hacked over the top which we | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
call a bullet cap so it is super smooth and smooths out all the bumps | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
with your hair. Well, the Americans are as smooth as anything this | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
evening. We will see a lot of stars and stripes. Andrew and Adrian, | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
please talk us through the medals ceremony for the backstroke. | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
David Plummer just got his medal for the USA. He came third and fourth so | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
many times. But what a surprise this is. | :16:19. | :16:31. | |
52.31. Nine hundredths of a second ahead of the bronze medallist. China | :16:32. | :16:48. | |
had a really great night. Gold, silver, bronze, I don't think they | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
would have imagined that coming in! This young man had a great swim. He | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
gets that silver medal. Protecting the legacy, if you like, of the | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
Americans, since 1996 they have not lost this particular final. The | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
sixth straight Olympic title for the 100 metres backstroke in a row for | :17:15. | :17:29. | |
Team USA. Now Ryan Murphy of the USA continues the street. Six in a row | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
for USA. He very nearly broke the world record of 51.90 four. Ryan | :17:35. | :17:47. | |
Murphy's time, 51.90 seven. Olympic gold to Ryan Murphy of the USA. | :17:48. | :18:13. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Olympic champion men's 100 metre | :18:14. | :19:19. | |
backstroke, Ryan Murphy of the USA continuing that fantastic streak of | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
the USA, six in a row now. Silver medal, Jiayu Xu of China. Big | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
surprise, that. And delighted for 30-year-old David Plummer, finally | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
gets his chance at an Olympic Games at 30 years of age and gets a | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
bronze. Congratulations, Ryan Murphy. First | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
Olympic Games and first gold medal at 21 years of age. While we were | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
listening to the American national anthem, Sharron Davies was speaking | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
to a South African who has had a very successful night in the pool. | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
What is going on in the cool room? Nothing, I just want to race the | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
best! You're such a ! It is what it is. -- such a | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
fibber! He's now got another young guy | :20:09. | :20:24. | |
napping at his heels as well. It's going to be a great night. It's a | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
great opportunity for me and another five or six guys in the final. I | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
just want to do me and my family proud. How are they? Been hard. But | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
I'm doing it for them and for my supporters. We watched it a lot in | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
the UK, Europe documentary, you must be very proud. Thank you, I am very | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
proud. Thanks to everyone who helped put it together. What possessed you | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
to go out so fast? I wanted to try and go fast and see if I could hang | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
on, to see what happens! Chad le Clos referring to the fact that both | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
of his parents, Bert, who was catapulted to international fame | :21:15. | :21:32. | |
with a win as had cancer and his mother a double mastectomy. | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
His family are so, so lovely. They come over and say hello, they are so | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
lovely, so passionate about this board. You can see how passionate | :21:43. | :21:55. | |
they are. Do you feel differently about your Olympic medals now that | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
you're a parent. Do you know what you put your parents through? Yes, | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
and I always thank my parents, I always have done will start I've | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
always been one of those athletes, I've always appreciated what my | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
family I could fight, not just my parents, my sisters and everyone | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
were fantastic. That's what makes swimming so fantastic, it's all | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
about the family. Michael Phelps's family, Chad's family, the Murphys | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
are down there, Adam Peaty's family, it is fantastic, they are a family. | :22:27. | :22:36. | |
My dad where's my medals more than I do! I think you take them to work | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
under his suit! That what's -- that's what it's all about, getting | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
up at 5am, you can't drive until you're 17, so there's a long time in | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
swimming. You said your mum couldn't watch committee used to get so | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
nervous? Yes, until I was about 30 she didn't come out and then she | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
came out for the Olympic Games in 2000. They said she couldn't watch! | :23:03. | :23:13. | |
As a kid, occasionally I did a false start and she thought by watching me | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
it would happen! My lengths were 20 seconds, so she flew all the way to | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
Australia for ten seconds! It's like Becky says, what you don't see... | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
It's wonderful when using a raw emotion from the athlete but for the | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
parents, how much they sacrifice. We only ever see what goes on on the | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
TV, people at home. The hours and hours and hours that people put in | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
in the pool and the sacrifices they make for training, it's a normal | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
life to us because it's what we do but you make a lot of sacrifices. I | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
spoke to Siobhan's parents and she couldn't watch, she used to put her | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
head in her hand back and I said don't do it at the Olympics because | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
people would think she was throwing up! My mum used to say, tell me when | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
it's halfway, tell me when it's halfway! They are such a close | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
family as well. Siobhan loves being at home. She hated being away from | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
home and she really misses it, she gets really homesick, she really | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
misses her parents and she's just so grateful that there are about here. | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
The whole team seems like such a great family unit. Adam Peaty took | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
the opportunity to pace up and down the site encouraging Jazz Carlin and | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
helping her, it seems like a really good team. But as you said, | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
Siobhan-Marie O'Connor is coming up in her semifinal. Let's have a look | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
at her achievements over the last few years. A very impressive young | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
woman, isn't she? She came onto the scene at London 2012 not even in her | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
favourite event, she didn't make it in that but scrapped her way onto | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
the team. She's in a very different position now. Definitely, even with | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
the 200 individual medley, tactic wise, she just goes out for it and | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
hangs on and she's really grown up and mature with how she approaches | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
the race as well. It is very difficult because you know that her | :25:26. | :25:36. | |
opponent is going to be out ahead, but she posted a very good time and | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
she will be wanting to see how she can back it up. She will be wanting | :25:42. | :25:52. | |
a fast enough time. Let's see our British girls in action, Hannah | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
Miley and Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. COMMENTATOR: Thank you, we just | :25:55. | :26:06. | |
missed Hannah Miley, who is in lane seven. | :26:07. | :26:27. | |
Alicia Coutts in three for Australia. Didn't Siobhan-Marie | :26:28. | :26:38. | |
O'Connor swim well in the hit this morning? I thought she was | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
fantastic. A clear second place. I don't know, tomorrow, to push | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
Hosszu, there will be a lot in the tank from Hosszu, but Siobhan-Marie | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
O'Connor, Silver medal, I think she can push for gold. If she swims to | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
her tactics, her own race, I think she odds-on for the silver. If she | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
adjusts it a bit and goes out hard and tries to catch Hosszu... She's | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
got to be brave tomorrow. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor in the | :27:21. | :27:21. | |
centre. Silver medal in the 100 fly. So, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor of Great | :27:22. | :27:39. | |
Britain in four. Hannah Miley down close to do as in lane seven. A very | :27:40. | :27:47. | |
good start in Bede, she is a great starter, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. A | :27:48. | :27:56. | |
good fly swimmer with the yellow cap of Australia, Alicia Coutts. But | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
Siobhan-Marie O'Connor really asserting herself in the first 40 | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
metres. Fantastic first 50 metres from O'Connor. She didn't quite spot | :28:07. | :28:15. | |
the wall, a choppy stroke and lost a lot of that momentum going into that | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
wall. This is the bit that I think she will struggle with. Hosszu just | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
won the gold-medal in the 100 metres backstroke at this Olympic Games. | :28:27. | :28:29. | |
She's a brilliant backstroke swimmer. You want to enter the water | :28:30. | :28:44. | |
with those hands closer together. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor... Dirado | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
came back really strong there. This is really exciting, I love | :28:49. | :28:58. | |
watching the breaststroke. A little bit of a surprise, maybe, breaking | :28:59. | :29:06. | |
the British record in that breast. Goodness me, she looks fantastic | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
-- Siobhan-Marie O'Connor will be the fastest in this particular final | :29:13. | :29:28. | |
by a good old body length. Really strong right now. Working again on | :29:29. | :29:35. | |
the freestyle kick, a real strength of hers now and she will need this | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
in the final tomorrow. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor is going to break the | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
British record, I'm sure. 2:07.50 seven. She's broken the British | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
record by seven tenths of a second. Goodness me, 2:07.5, that is | :29:53. | :30:00. | |
wonderful. The Olympic record, let's not forget, is anybody in any | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
Olympics ever, and she's just no .1 of a second away from that record. | :30:06. | :30:17. | |
Katinka Hosszu this year has slumped two point 73 in the heats. | :30:18. | :30:34. | |
Interesting straight arm freestyle. She got a silver medal in the | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
Commonwealth Games. She certainly understands the distance and the | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
feeling inside that last 50 metres. Look at that. She is delighted and | :30:44. | :30:50. | |
so she would be. It was Katinka Hosszu who set the Olympic record in | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
the heats this morning. Let's see what she can deliver tonight. A | :30:56. | :31:05. | |
brilliant results. Very good time, a new British record. Hannah Miley in | :31:06. | :31:06. | |
sixth. Huge congratulations to | :31:07. | :31:21. | |
Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. A fantastic race. I love watching her race. Her | :31:22. | :31:28. | |
butterfly, her breaststroke is incredible. I do worry about the | :31:29. | :31:33. | |
backstroke leg because that is where Katinka Hosszu is strong. It will be | :31:34. | :31:38. | |
interesting to see if Siobhan can keep up with her or if she will swim | :31:39. | :31:43. | |
her reign race but she could be coming home with a silver medal. How | :31:44. | :31:48. | |
important are the tactics in a race like this? You need four good | :31:49. | :31:57. | |
strokes but Hosszu is an unbelievably strong backstroke | :31:58. | :32:03. | |
swimmer. Siobhan is whether Sharron Davies. | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
Well done, you look very pleased. Yes, I really wanted to crack the | :32:07. | :32:15. | |
2.08 for awhile. I just felt really good. I am really pleased with that | :32:16. | :32:22. | |
time. I have wanted to get that time for a long time. I noticed you | :32:23. | :32:27. | |
spotted your parents and said hello when you came out, that is obviously | :32:28. | :32:35. | |
important to you? Yes... I saw the team but I did not see my mum and | :32:36. | :32:42. | |
dad. They are definitely here. It was so good that I got to see them | :32:43. | :32:46. | |
the other day. It means everything that they are here because it is so | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
nice to know they are not that far away and when I need them they are | :32:50. | :32:54. | |
right there. The guys are saying you are going to have to take her on | :32:55. | :33:00. | |
which means it is your breaststroke versus her backstroke and your | :33:01. | :33:06. | |
breast rate is so fast now. She has dominated the medley events for so | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
long. I will definitely give her a race. She has such a strong | :33:10. | :33:16. | |
backstroke. I have really worked on it this year. My breaststroke has | :33:17. | :33:23. | |
come on leaps and bounds. I hope I can give her a good race for | :33:24. | :33:28. | |
tomorrow. All the best for tomorrow. Cheers. | :33:29. | :33:34. | |
So there is Katinka Hosszu. And her team-mate is in lane two. Margulis | :33:35. | :33:44. | |
of the USA is in lane five. Last off the blocks and she got left | :33:45. | :34:04. | |
on the blocks, Katinka Hosszu in the centre. That was interesting. | :34:05. | :34:15. | |
Maralis had -- Margalis had a very strong swim. This is the backstroke | :34:16. | :34:39. | |
leg. In lane one going well is the German swimmer. She was going well | :34:40. | :34:46. | |
but she is not a backstroke swimmer and Katinka Hosszu is the new | :34:47. | :34:55. | |
Olympic champion. She does not stop. She breathes every time one of her | :34:56. | :35:02. | |
ans goes over. -- one of her arms goes over. A big kick and a little | :35:03. | :35:11. | |
wiggle. A little wriggle is not allowed, Katinka. A slap on the | :35:12. | :35:20. | |
wrist. Siobhan will have to be close and worked really hard on this. Down | :35:21. | :35:30. | |
in lane six is Shiwen Ye of China. She is closing up the gap a little | :35:31. | :35:44. | |
bit. This is interesting. Hosszu turned exactly one seconds slower | :35:45. | :35:51. | |
than Ocado did in the first heat. -- bank O'Connor did. | :35:52. | :36:04. | |
This is going to be very interesting. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor | :36:05. | :36:10. | |
will go into the final tomorrow night fastest. Good Disney! Hosszu | :36:11. | :36:16. | |
wins the second semifinal. There was a bit of talk this morning | :36:17. | :36:47. | |
around Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, a great second place but I would like | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
to see her win it tomorrow night. If you are out there, stay up, set the | :36:52. | :36:58. | |
alarm because I think Siobhan-Marie O'Connor has a great chance of | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
beating his wife. That is her husband and coach. She has had a | :37:04. | :37:15. | |
tough session. She has had a big old session, qualifying now in second | :37:16. | :37:20. | |
place for the final. She will have more to come tomorrow. | :37:21. | :37:41. | |
Siobhan-Marie O'Connor will go into the final fastest, how exciting is | :37:42. | :37:47. | |
that? Tomorrow night it is the final. The defending champion goes | :37:48. | :37:54. | |
fourth fastest. That is a massive call from Adrian | :37:55. | :38:06. | |
Moorhouse. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor could beat Katinka Hosszu. It is | :38:07. | :38:12. | |
possible. It is a world beating time. She could become Olympic | :38:13. | :38:18. | |
champion. Hosszu has a dilemma tomorrow. She has the 200 fly heats | :38:19. | :38:26. | |
in the morning and the semis in the evening which is about an hour | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
before the medley. If she is the iron lady I think she will do both | :38:30. | :38:33. | |
but Siobhan-Marie O'Connor has put a shot across the bow and I think she | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
will pull out of that tomorrow. Siobhan has a big shout. Like the | :38:39. | :38:44. | |
guys say, gamble on it. The silver is almost guaranteed. Have a shot, | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
go at it and see if she can respond. If you are going to put everything | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
out there, this is the place to do it. It would be amazing if she could | :38:55. | :38:59. | |
get that gold medal. Even that swim there was a huge British record and | :39:00. | :39:09. | |
a personal best time for her. She looked so controlled. I think she | :39:10. | :39:12. | |
had more to give. I think she can challenge her. It is so tough | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
against someone like Hosszu who has the experience and is so good at | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
everything. It is interesting to see her body language with Sharron | :39:21. | :39:28. | |
Davies. She did not look that tired. Hannah Miley is celebrating her | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
birthday but no place in the final. She seemed like she was enjoying | :39:33. | :39:37. | |
herself so good times for Hannah Miley. Unfortunately for James Guy, | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
he missed out on an agonisingly fourth place but do not let it be | :39:42. | :39:46. | |
said that the swimming pool is a dull place. If you have had a belt | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
day, look at this chap. He will make you smile! He has not got the Monday | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
blues. It is Monday in Brazil, everyone, it is the Olympics and he | :39:59. | :40:05. | |
is having a ball. Jason, I saw him and thought of you! | :40:06. | :40:08. | |
You cheeky rascal! I will show you my break dancing skills one evening. | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
Before we leave you, let's bring you some news from the world of | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
gymnastics. A Dutch gymnast has been kicked out by the country's Olympic | :40:19. | :40:24. | |
Committee for violating team rules over the consumption of alcohol. He | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
had qualified for the final of the men's rings but reportedly he has | :40:30. | :40:35. | |
already been sent home. It was described as a difficult decision | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
but his behaviour was described as unacceptable. Let's bring you | :40:40. | :40:44. | |
up-to-date with all of Day three's headlines. | :40:45. | :40:51. | |
Britain's Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow won Olympic bronze in the | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
men's synchronised ten metre platform. Well done, boys. | :40:56. | :41:07. | |
And another medal for Team GB came with Ed Ling who took bronze in the | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
men's trap, holding his nerve. Sadly, Great Britain missed out on a | :41:11. | :41:25. | |
medal in the men's gymnastics team final after Lewis Smith came off the | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
pommel horse. Japan taking gold ahead of Russia and China. | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
Disappointment as well in the women's rugby sevens. Defeats to New | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
Zealand and Canada wrecking the chances of a medal will stop | :41:41. | :41:43. | |
Australia crowned the first Olympic champions in the sport. And Brazil | :41:44. | :41:51. | |
won their first gold of the Games with Rafaela Silver triumphing in | :41:52. | :42:03. | |
the women's judo. Fabulous scenes. Let's take a look at the medal | :42:04. | :42:10. | |
table. 14 golds up for grabs today. The United States lead the way. | :42:11. | :42:33. | |
Let's take a look at what we have got in store a four. Our coverage | :42:34. | :42:43. | |
gets underway with Hazel on BBC One at one. We will have the climax of | :42:44. | :42:45. | |
the event in show-jumping. Britain hoped to add Olympic gold to | :42:46. | :43:16. | |
the world title in the men's 4x200 free. So, another amazing day comes | :43:17. | :43:22. | |
to a close at Rio 2016. It has been a wonderful day for the hosts. They | :43:23. | :43:28. | |
won their first gold medal. A day of highs and lows for Team GB but it | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
has been another outstanding day of sport. | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
Goodbye for now. Will it be enough? They have done it! | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
Ed Ling takes the bronze medal here. Australia, champions of women's | :43:45. | :44:08. | |
sevens. How'd you like that? What a magnificent moment! | :44:09. | :44:14. |
