LineFromTo

huge step onto the Olympic stage for this squad, they only came together

:00:00.:00:00.

in May, made up of a couple of Welshmen, two Scottish, and the rest

:00:07.:00:10.

coming from England. A big challenge, they finished seventh in

:00:11.:00:15.

the World Series rankings, let's see how they get on in their first match

:00:16.:00:20.

against Kenya. Let's go over to Andy Butler and Sir Clive Woodward.

:00:21.:00:39.

The captain has to go back. Complaints from deep within their

:00:40.:00:47.

own 22. James Davis. He is from Wales. He takes it out of the 22.

:00:48.:00:57.

Knock-on, advantageous Great Britain.

:00:58.:01:02.

Phil Burgess. Last in possession. Penalty to Great Britain. It does

:01:03.:01:14.

not seem quite as nervous as the start that the women media study

:01:15.:01:19.

will stop good start from Great Britain but this is a difficult

:01:20.:01:22.

fixture. The Kenyan team have prepared well. This is a tough,

:01:23.:01:31.

physical Kenyan team. It is a very hot day. It will suit them. On

:01:32.:01:41.

Pippa, written with the advantage, on the field, can you are very

:01:42.:01:48.

powerful. Good work by Dan Norton. Great speed and what a start. Great

:01:49.:01:58.

set play. What I love about him, he slows down. The Steve Bird is on and

:01:59.:02:05.

goes around his man. This is a tricky fixture for Team GB. Great

:02:06.:02:16.

start for him. There was irrelevant. Slow, slow and then Dan Norton went

:02:17.:02:23.

for the afterburners. It settle the nerves. Well set up by Captain Tom

:02:24.:02:29.

Mitchell who is the key man in this British team. Also Dan Bibby was

:02:30.:02:35.

wonderful with his pass. The conversion by Tom Mitchell, just

:02:36.:02:42.

missing. Great Britain or on their way. Oscar Ouma will be disappointed

:02:43.:02:51.

about missing that tackle but he is up against one of the fastest

:02:52.:02:57.

players in this team. The team that scores restarts. One of the slight

:02:58.:03:02.

abbreviations. Between the 15 aside version of the game and the seven

:03:03.:03:07.

aside version of the game. That is well placed and well tapped down by

:03:08.:03:12.

James Rodwell. The ball has gone loose, knock-on. Kenny will have

:03:13.:03:17.

they put in. Can you almost have a unique style. -- Ken ya.

:03:18.:03:30.

It was a great restart from Mitchell. It was a shame about the

:03:31.:03:39.

knock-on. It is the first time that Kenya have got the ball and let us

:03:40.:03:40.

see how we do in the scrum. That is the physical style of Kenya.

:03:41.:03:54.

Dan Bibby steals it. It is a spirit for the length of

:03:55.:04:16.

Phil Burgess. And a great change of pace. The handoff and what a finish.

:04:17.:04:23.

Rucked back by Kenya and coming forward, Britain are two tries to do

:04:24.:04:28.

good. Great pace shown by Phil Burgess. We can all see the Kenyan

:04:29.:04:35.

style of God but one. Rodwell with simple hands. And it is real pace

:04:36.:04:40.

from Phil Burgess, one of the forwards. It is the pace of the

:04:41.:04:45.

forwards that is impressive. Real athletes with real pace and a

:04:46.:04:51.

forward pack. Good start for Great Britain and they will get

:04:52.:04:55.

confidence. This is a dangerous Kenyan team. You have to tackle them

:04:56.:04:58.

as they will run at you. Phil Burgess, back in line. James

:04:59.:05:11.

Rodwell on the far touchline is the man who calls the restarts. And he

:05:12.:05:19.

has called it upon himself on the right-hand side. Again he gets his

:05:20.:05:22.

fingers to it. Dan Bibby knocks it on. Can you have got the advantage.

:05:23.:05:27.

-- Kenya have the advantage. This is Mark Bennett, the Scotsman.

:05:28.:05:59.

Mitchell out wide to Dan Bibby. The pass went backwards, no trouble, try

:06:00.:06:05.

number three. Dan Bibby. What you did not see was the wonderful pass

:06:06.:06:10.

from Mitchell, he was cleaned out by the captain of Kenya. He is holding

:06:11.:06:17.

himself. He is cleaned out. We just missed it off-screen. Very

:06:18.:06:25.

impressive start by Team GB. These are physical men. Just looking at

:06:26.:06:34.

Tom Mitchell, he's letting Dan Bibby take the conversion. He was struck

:06:35.:06:41.

right on the rib cage. It was a big hit. I think it was Andrew the

:06:42.:06:55.

captain. The turnover has been key. Mitchell is having a word with the

:06:56.:06:58.

referee about that hit. He's not happy about that. REFEREE: Just be

:06:59.:07:12.

quick next time. I think he was arguing a technical point rather

:07:13.:07:16.

than the state of his ribs. That is good, he is fit to go. Two great

:07:17.:07:23.

kick-offs so far. Rodwell has came infield. Dan Norton chases.

:07:24.:07:38.

James Davis is the brother of Jonathan. He plays with Wales and

:07:39.:07:52.

the Great Britain Lions. Giving the Kenyan is some of their own

:07:53.:07:59.

medicine. The whistle has gone. It looks like they will put on a set

:08:00.:08:01.

play. Bennett with the dummy. It is the

:08:02.:08:34.

fourth try. This will end the half. It has been an excellent first-half

:08:35.:08:40.

for the British team. Four tries, over 20 points. Very smooth and

:08:41.:08:44.

efficient so far. Couple of points. Well done Mark Bennett. Very

:08:45.:08:51.

powerful and adding a lot to this team. The key thing, they could have

:08:52.:08:57.

kicked it out and went to half-time 17-0 up. They brought out a set play

:08:58.:09:03.

that looked good. It went to the left and the right. On the red, the

:09:04.:09:07.

two speedsters, Bennett and Dan Norton. The referee from France has

:09:08.:09:19.

blown for half-time. Great Britain 24-0 Kenya. Kenny are kept to Nel.

:09:20.:09:29.

Given the reputation for power and muscularity... Watching Mitchell

:09:30.:09:34.

play, he is the heartbeat of the team. The way that he controls the

:09:35.:09:40.

middle. His move on but the ball. We have got good pace with Bennett and

:09:41.:09:50.

Dan Norton. This was an awkward fixture. Great to see him starting

:09:51.:10:01.

confidently. We saw some spectacular size in the women's game and we had

:10:02.:10:03.

already seen it here. Phil Burgess added this trial. One

:10:04.:10:15.

variation between the men's game and in the women's game, the woman came

:10:16.:10:20.

to play a high tempo during the game. The men, slow, slow, bursts of

:10:21.:10:26.

acceleration and then they stop to keep the ball in play. Mark Bennett

:10:27.:10:32.

finishing half in grand style. I have been impressed the time. He

:10:33.:10:36.

looks comfortable in the team. I like the set plays when a

:10:37.:10:37.

standstill. Phil Burgess approaches the halfway

:10:38.:11:16.

spot, I am sorry, Tom Mitchell. The referee wants to get on with the

:11:17.:11:20.

game. There's no time to hang around rugby sevens. Rodwell on this the

:11:21.:11:32.

touchline will set off in pursuit. He makes the tackle on Willy Ambaka.

:11:33.:11:42.

Kenya have possession on their own 22. This is the power game, they are

:11:43.:11:50.

hard to stop. They have won himself a penalty on the ten metre line.

:11:51.:11:52.

Advantage being played. Excellent pass. Rodwell did so well

:11:53.:12:10.

to come in and stop. Chance for Kenny. They will score the first

:12:11.:12:17.

try. Mark Bennett could not make the tackle. Willy Ambaka and Kenny are

:12:18.:12:27.

out on the scoreboard. -- Kenya. Good try by the Kenya team. Mark

:12:28.:12:30.

Bennett will be disappointed he did make that tackle. You can see the

:12:31.:12:47.

danger of the Kenyan team. He did not put the ball straight down, he

:12:48.:12:51.

wanted to get the extra yards. Breaking the kicking game simpler

:12:52.:12:58.

for Biko Adema. The conversion is good. Kenya set off in pursuit of 24

:12:59.:13:11.

points for Great Britain. The restart will be by Biko Adema. They

:13:12.:13:17.

have packed the one side of the field. Mark Bennett catches the

:13:18.:13:32.

scraps. Kenny and knocked the ball on. -- Kenya.

:13:33.:13:51.

The finish by Billy Odhiambo. Mitchell feeds the scrum. Cleanly

:13:52.:14:04.

away. The day goes back into the forwards. That was the danger. Kenya

:14:05.:14:11.

are very stronger. And that they have won the penalty. Quickly taken.

:14:12.:14:28.

This time, good work at the breakdown. James Davis. Penalty in

:14:29.:14:36.

Great Britain's favour. He has got two wonderful turnovers when he has

:14:37.:14:39.

got his body over the ball and stayed on his feet. Two huge it's a

:14:40.:14:46.

possession by his ability and the contact area. He is just as physical

:14:47.:14:49.

as the Kenya team. Well done, James Davis. Tom Mitchell for touch. Great

:14:50.:14:58.

Britain start to ring the changes. Marcus Watson comes on. What has

:14:59.:15:09.

come one for Mark Bennett. Mark Robertson of Scotland is also on. I

:15:10.:15:17.

played against his dad, Keith Robertson, many years ago. Knock-on

:15:18.:15:24.

at the line-out. Possession back again for Kenya. They have more

:15:25.:15:27.

possession in the second-half but only one tried to name. Marcus

:15:28.:15:32.

Watson with the important tackle made.

:15:33.:15:41.

Relief as the whistle goes. Good defence, it is a very hot day,

:15:42.:15:48.

bringing these replacements on brings intensity into the squad.

:15:49.:15:55.

With 2.5 minutes to go... 20/7, you can ring the changes now. -- 24/7.

:15:56.:16:08.

Rodwell is an outstanding, absolutely outstanding. Getting a

:16:09.:16:12.

patch from his coach and rightly so, before the basics of the restart,

:16:13.:16:18.

he's been right on the money -- a pat on the back.

:16:19.:16:24.

Dan Norton chases... It is a good bounce for him. Reading it well,

:16:25.:16:28.

slowing it down a long way before that.

:16:29.:16:38.

Burgess... And Mark Robertson. It is there, for Mitchell.

:16:39.:16:44.

Norton is outside, and Daniel Bibby does not need him.

:16:45.:16:51.

The first try of the second half to seal victory. A safe passage into

:16:52.:16:57.

game two. An excellent score from Team GB, Robertson takes the ball

:16:58.:17:03.

heavily into contact. Team GB recycled the ball cleanly and it

:17:04.:17:07.

eventually comes out to Dan Bibby, born into hands, taking the outside.

:17:08.:17:12.

I have to say, this is a strong Kenyan team. Team GB have been

:17:13.:17:18.

really first class. This was an awkward fixture to get through and

:17:19.:17:23.

they've gone through it with ease. They have also been allowed to bring

:17:24.:17:26.

on their whole bench, all 12 players would have had a real run out in

:17:27.:17:31.

these Olympic Games. It has been a great start. Simon Amor, their

:17:32.:17:36.

coach, would have really hoped for this. Norton and Bibby go off,

:17:37.:17:43.

clapping and applauding, being applauded, it has been a thorough

:17:44.:17:46.

and efficient performance with some glamorous moments as well.

:17:47.:17:52.

Sam crossed... Chasing. -- Sam Cross.

:17:53.:18:07.

Nearly into the last half a minute of play.

:18:08.:18:18.

It's another penalty at the breakdown. Play on. Textbook tackle

:18:19.:18:27.

from Mark Robertson, he got pulled up for not running quickly, they are

:18:28.:18:34.

so tight on these. Emonyi Collins Injera. There is an advantage being

:18:35.:18:45.

played... The hooter goes, it is not the end of the game, Kenya have a

:18:46.:18:49.

penalty. No, the referee says that that is

:18:50.:18:53.

enough. Great Britain have come through their first trial, their

:18:54.:19:00.

first ever get together as a Team GB rugby sevens. That means that they

:19:01.:19:06.

came in as strangers, and they go out as friends.

:19:07.:19:07.

They beat Kenya, 31-7. What a confidence boost for the

:19:08.:19:23.

Great Britain squad, coming in, their first major international

:19:24.:19:26.

tournament as a squad and they have beaten Kenya 31-7.

:19:27.:19:31.

A really committed performance with plenty of efficiencies, thorough as

:19:32.:19:35.

Eddie Butler said, and 20 flower, it's important to rehydrate and rest

:19:36.:19:40.

up. Another matches coming up at five o'clock your time when they

:19:41.:19:43.

take on Japan and they will be sitting watching Japan in action.

:19:44.:19:48.

In the next match, they play New Zealand also in pool C.

:19:49.:19:52.

They are fancied, as Fiji, to win the gold medal in the men's rugby

:19:53.:19:55.

sevens. We are back with you shortly.

:19:56.:20:03.

ORE:. We show you that game on BBC One tonight, as Jill said, at nine

:20:04.:20:07.

o'clock for that one. Now we will move on to show you some

:20:08.:20:12.

judo. Great Britain involved in this one. It is all taking place at the

:20:13.:20:17.

arena over there. If you want to know the difference

:20:18.:20:23.

between all of your mates, just watch this... -- moves. Judo was

:20:24.:20:34.

developed in the late 19th century in Japan, and has been an Olympic

:20:35.:20:39.

sport since Tokyo 1964. Each contest in judo has a duration of five

:20:40.:20:45.

minutes for men, or four minutes for women. If scores are level at the

:20:46.:20:49.

end of a contest, they enter the Golden skull where there is no time

:20:50.:20:54.

limit and the first score penalty awarded will decide the contest. --

:20:55.:20:59.

score. The highest scoring technique is the ippon, which instantly wins a

:21:00.:21:04.

contest and can be achieved in four ways, throwing an opponent with

:21:05.:21:07.

impact on their back with considerable force and speed,

:21:08.:21:11.

pinning and holding down an opponent for 20 seconds with selected holding

:21:12.:21:15.

techniques, when an opponent submits gives up, or score two Maruti

:21:16.:21:23.

against an opponent. Waza-ari can be achieved in two ways, throwing an

:21:24.:21:28.

opponent but lacking one of the elements for ippon, or holding down

:21:29.:21:32.

an opponent for 15 seconds or more but less than 20 seconds. A yuko is

:21:33.:21:37.

worth one point but can also be scored in two ways. Throwing an

:21:38.:21:42.

opponent but lacking two elements needed for ippon, or holding down an

:21:43.:21:47.

opponent for 10-14 seconds. Judo is a knockout competition and all

:21:48.:21:50.

competitors are placed in a drawer divided into two tables. The top

:21:51.:21:54.

athletes in each weight category will be seeded in line with the

:21:55.:21:58.

world rankings, and the finalists will compete for the gold and silver

:21:59.:22:04.

medals. ORE: Alice would love to win a gold

:22:05.:22:08.

or silver medal, she is one of the most experienced judo fighters, born

:22:09.:22:17.

in Israel, but in this round of 32 in the 63 kilograms category, she is

:22:18.:22:25.

taking on her South Korean competitor. Ollie Williams takes us

:22:26.:22:27.

through this. COMMENTATOR: Alice Schlesinger in

:22:28.:22:45.

white, Jiyun in blue. A story of disappointment so far in British

:22:46.:22:50.

judo at Rio 2016, now Alice Schlesinger is making her British

:22:51.:23:00.

debut at this level. They have only met twice before, each winning on

:23:01.:23:04.

just one occasion. Watch out for Jiyun Bak using her footwork in

:23:05.:23:08.

particular, that happened last November when the two met. Alice

:23:09.:23:13.

Schlesinger eventually won that one. Alice Schlesinger was at London

:23:14.:23:18.

2012, she was there for Israel. She transferred over to Great Britain

:23:19.:23:22.

afterwards, her mother is British. That was after a protracted dispute

:23:23.:23:25.

with the Israeli Association, she felt she was being pushed out.

:23:26.:23:33.

Now, she is back at Rio 2016, grappling in the stages, with Jiyun

:23:34.:23:38.

Bak trying to throw her over. Jiyun Bak in particular really likes

:23:39.:23:42.

to use her feet, she really likes to attack the back of her opponent,

:23:43.:23:48.

trying to wrap her heel around her back and bring the opponent over the

:23:49.:23:53.

top. In the past, Alice Schlesinger has been good. Turning, you can see

:23:54.:24:05.

that attack there. The referee allows the two to reset. Alice

:24:06.:24:17.

Schlesinger comes forward and looks to get a stronghold. Now making use

:24:18.:24:25.

of her own feet, exchanging these little blows and looking for a

:24:26.:24:31.

purchase point, looking to pivot your opponent over your leg. If you

:24:32.:24:35.

can find the right move. Alice Schlesinger round the back...

:24:36.:24:45.

Falling back. But avoiding anything. A couple of minutes left. With the

:24:46.:24:50.

golden score an option, if there is no score or penalties by the end of

:24:51.:24:58.

this. Alice Schlesinger is ranked eighth in the world. One of the

:24:59.:25:03.

top-ranked British judo fighters at Rio 2016. She has more experience

:25:04.:25:15.

than Jiyun Bak. And probably has a slightly better CV in terms of wins,

:25:16.:25:19.

not least the back of grand slam, that was a few months ago. A

:25:20.:25:22.

procedure 's tournament that Alice Schlesinger won. With five

:25:23.:25:31.

back-to-back ippons, which is relatively unusual and exceptionally

:25:32.:25:38.

impressive. Jiyun Bak gets a moment just to adjust her dress. Secured,

:25:39.:25:48.

and beginning again. Kate how we looking on, a British

:25:49.:26:04.

judo grade. An Olympic medallist and now the driving force behind this,

:26:05.:26:08.

as Alice Schlesinger rucks over and tries to bring Jiyun Bak down. It

:26:09.:26:14.

has been relatively tentative so far between these two. More so than in

:26:15.:26:17.

the past when they have faced one another. So far, no score or

:26:18.:26:21.

penalties. This time... Alice Schlesinger rucks

:26:22.:26:34.

around and delivers the move that takes her through into the second

:26:35.:26:39.

round of the competition. Judoka covering her eyes on the ground. The

:26:40.:26:44.

referee wants to check that she is OK. Her Olympics is over. And Alice

:26:45.:26:52.

Schlesinger, now of Great Britain, formerly of Israel, will progress.

:26:53.:27:04.

ANNOUNCER: Alice Schlesinger! ORE: Very well done, Alice

:27:05.:27:13.

Schlesinger. The great British Judoka moving

:27:14.:27:18.

herself into the last 16. That happened a little earlier. Earlier

:27:19.:27:22.

on BBC Four, you would have seen Great Britain's Joe Cordina

:27:23.:27:26.

unfortunately got knocked out in the men's lightweight category, he was

:27:27.:27:31.

taking on his Uzbekistani opponent, and the European runs medallist of

:27:32.:27:36.

2015 evidently was really disappointed in missing out on his

:27:37.:27:40.

progression in this competition. Straight after the bout with Hurshid

:27:41.:27:44.

Tojibaev, Jess Creighton caught up with him. Not the result you would

:27:45.:27:49.

have wanted, any complaints about the decision? It was split. No, in

:27:50.:27:54.

the first round I thought I had done enough. The second was close, the

:27:55.:27:58.

third round I thought that he dominated. I could not get going. He

:27:59.:28:02.

hit my body a lot, slowing me down and I could not pick it up. I cannot

:28:03.:28:07.

complain with the decision, he did enough and the better man one on the

:28:08.:28:11.

day. He is the fifth seed, it would always be tough, was it was you it

:28:12.:28:17.

-- was it what you expected? Yes, he is a world champion. I knew that he

:28:18.:28:22.

would be strong and is one of the hardest hitters I've been with. This

:28:23.:28:27.

is your Olympic debut, what do you take away from this experience? It

:28:28.:28:32.

has been amazing. This crowd is an amazing crowd and this is the

:28:33.:28:35.

pinnacle of amateur boxing. I have to take that and it is a huge bonus

:28:36.:28:42.

in my career. It is a good experience. What next? I don't know,

:28:43.:28:46.

I have to go back and assess what I have done. Now, I'm still a junior

:28:47.:28:53.

boxer. When I get back to Sheffield, I might do a Commonwealth Games and

:28:54.:28:56.

perhaps another Olympic cycle would be nice? All the best, Joe. Take

:28:57.:29:00.

care. ORE: Hopefully Joe Cantor you some

:29:01.:29:04.

positives from that defeat but he has had so many high hopes -- can

:29:05.:29:08.

tell you. Especially after those three gods

:29:09.:29:12.

that they won in the Excel centre. Unfortunately though, he is out of

:29:13.:29:16.

the men's lightweight competition. But at the Dore, as you saw earlier

:29:17.:29:27.

here on BBC Four, -- dear Doro. Jill Douglas caught up with the Team

:29:28.:29:31.

GB rugby sevens ahead of their game against Japan, then tomorrow they

:29:32.:29:36.

take on 12 time series champions, New Zealand.

:29:37.:29:41.

Tough! That was a winning Olympic debut, a lot of confidence from that

:29:42.:29:44.

performance gritter at yes, it is nice to have the first thing out of

:29:45.:29:49.

the way. It is a big occasion for all of us, and we are excited.

:29:50.:29:53.

Please put how the guys came out in that first one. A decent

:29:54.:29:56.

performance. There is a is the fear that Kenya could be a difficult

:29:57.:30:00.

opening match, you played them before. They are a very good side.

:30:01.:30:05.

And they are above you in the World Series? Yes, they have been an

:30:06.:30:09.

unbelievable side in the last few years, we know that they would be a

:30:10.:30:13.

challenge. There are no easy games here, it's the Olympics. We met them

:30:14.:30:18.

physically, that was always be key focus. Energy sapping though? I know

:30:19.:30:22.

that you pay in hot countries all over the world but it really is

:30:23.:30:27.

sapping. Yes, sevens is hard graft. It's something you do on a daily

:30:28.:30:31.

basis, the pain and burn that you feel in your legs and lungs is part

:30:32.:30:36.

of the game. We enjoy playing here, it's a good track and crowd, it is a

:30:37.:30:40.

bit of fun. What now? Taking a breather before you play Japan? Yes,

:30:41.:30:44.

it's a long break to what we are used to. The key thing is to switch

:30:45.:30:49.

off and refuel, take our minds off it, and have a bit of a lie down and

:30:50.:30:53.

get ready for the next one. Good stuff, thank you.

:30:54.:30:58.

They have a well earned break and Japan as the next match in the

:30:59.:31:06.

group. They will take them on at about 9pm this evening. We will take

:31:07.:31:11.

you into the Aquatic Centre later on because there are some British

:31:12.:31:14.

swimmers are involved later on and we will see our BBC team, there's a

:31:15.:31:19.

couple of them over there, Helen and Mark. That was not what -- that was

:31:20.:31:28.

not a welcome. Maybe more kisses on camera later on. Let us go to the

:31:29.:31:31.

Canoe slalom because Great Britain have got a medal prospect in David

:31:32.:31:37.

Florence. Two silver medals in consecutive Olympic Games in the C-1

:31:38.:31:47.

and the C-2. He is in the final in the C-1 later. He wants to take a

:31:48.:31:49.

gold medal away from Rio. They have got a Silver Medal. David

:31:50.:31:58.

Florence is out of this Olympic competition. This places got

:31:59.:32:04.

bittersweet feelings for you? You won the Silver Medal at London but

:32:05.:32:10.

in the C-1 it did not go as you would of liked it. I am so used to

:32:11.:32:16.

come here every day and this is get put in the hard work. I won the

:32:17.:32:24.

World Cup world Championships here. David Florence, the world champion

:32:25.:32:28.

from 2013 is the world champion again in 2015. I look back at the

:32:29.:32:34.

Olympics in London and there was a bit of disappointment. In the C-1,

:32:35.:32:42.

it seems a long time ago and almost forgotten. Are you quite

:32:43.:32:44.

philosophical about it and you have to be in a spotlight this? It is a

:32:45.:32:52.

really big advantage to accept that there are things out of your control

:32:53.:32:55.

and you cannot guarantee yourself to win a race. If you can accept that

:32:56.:33:01.

unmarked on the things that are within your control, you are four

:33:02.:33:05.

more likely to have the best chance possible of achieving what you want.

:33:06.:33:12.

I am motivated, Gavin. I have been trained to the best of my ability.

:33:13.:33:16.

If I get everything right then I will put myself in with a very good

:33:17.:33:21.

chance. You father since London and a father again. What has changed in

:33:22.:33:25.

your life. Lots of athletes see it changes them. Has done anything for

:33:26.:33:32.

you? It is the most ordinary thing to do in the world, to have

:33:33.:33:36.

children. When it is you it does seem exciting and it is a lot of fun

:33:37.:33:40.

and I love having a family to go back to. It does not affect what I'm

:33:41.:33:48.

trying to do in Rio. How would you compare yourself four years on,

:33:49.:33:53.

older and wiser going into Rio? I have had a good Olympic cycle. I

:33:54.:33:58.

have never won the World Championships prior to the London

:33:59.:34:03.

derby games. And now I have one three titles the last three Mac

:34:04.:34:08.

years. I enjoy it as much as ever. I've had lots of good runs. It will

:34:09.:34:14.

come on down to sticking in making the most of every training session.

:34:15.:34:18.

The opportunity to learn and be as ready as I can be. What would it

:34:19.:34:23.

mean to get a gold medal? It would be an incredible achievement.

:34:24.:34:29.

Something I do not take lightly. It is difficult to achieve even if you

:34:30.:34:32.

are one of the best for so many years. We have had so many standout

:34:33.:34:38.

athletes in our sport, it would be a phenomenal achievement. I would be

:34:39.:34:46.

very proud. And he will be able to see David Florence in the men's C-1

:34:47.:34:54.

the semifinal. It feels like something is going on behind me,

:34:55.:35:00.

we're having a party. Argentinians and Brazilians together as one. It

:35:01.:35:04.

is a wonderful feeling at the Olympics. It brings together

:35:05.:35:08.

families and friends, nations and neighbours. Shall we move away from

:35:09.:35:16.

them. I would need a cotton bud to take that out of my ear. We will go

:35:17.:35:22.

down to the hockey. Ireland, it has been a long way to get back into

:35:23.:35:27.

Olympic competition. Around 100 years since they were last in the

:35:28.:35:32.

Olympic Games. We look at their group, it did not get off to the

:35:33.:35:37.

best start for them against India. They had a big defeat. Today, they

:35:38.:35:41.

take on Germany, the Olympic champions. It does not get tougher

:35:42.:35:49.

for the night. The third game of the campaign is underway and we join

:35:50.:35:50.

them in the first quarter. Early in the first quarter, Law

:35:51.:36:05.

School heard at the Deodoro Stadium. The first couple of minutes was all

:36:06.:36:09.

about German possession. And then the Irish team started to get into

:36:10.:36:16.

their stride. They are up against it. Germany are the double Olympic

:36:17.:36:24.

champions in 2008 in 2012. Unbeaten so far. Arrogant yet to score a

:36:25.:36:34.

point in the tournament. -- Ireland. The ball popped up and he picks it

:36:35.:36:38.

up off his back foot, leaning away. Right-hander puts through towards

:36:39.:36:39.

the goal. The Irish defenders just keeping

:36:40.:37:05.

possession. This is Jonathan Bell, the number four.

:37:06.:37:24.

For the Irish, this is about turnover hockey. Play the ball in

:37:25.:37:31.

sensible areas. Not compete with the Germans down the middle of the

:37:32.:37:41.

field. Good skills and be a age come away with Michael Watt on this right

:37:42.:37:42.

flank. -- the Irish. The Germans are so quick to find an

:37:43.:37:56.

opening. That was not quite so clever from the German midfielder.

:37:57.:37:59.

It is out of play and the Irish have a chance to cover some ground

:38:00.:38:01.

towards the German circle. Another opportunity to build. Bell

:38:02.:38:15.

calling for it on the right. He traps and moves forward. As Bell

:38:16.:38:26.

gets a ball, he needs the lead in front of them or he will have to be

:38:27.:38:32.

cycle that. It is safe possession but it is not eliminating a line.

:38:33.:38:36.

You need the past to break the midfield lying to allow you to move

:38:37.:38:37.

forwards. Gets away with it. Good skills. The

:38:38.:38:55.

Irish take it quickly. That ball was stuck to the stack. Michael Watt.

:38:56.:39:05.

The Irish are threatening. They are in the German circle. It will be

:39:06.:39:15.

German possession. Peter Caruth was penalised. He were to session in his

:39:16.:39:21.

body between the defender at the ball and was penalised for that

:39:22.:39:22.

obstruction. The Irish supporters are only stand

:39:23.:39:52.

adjacent to the German supporters on the heart -- are having a

:39:53.:39:56.

competition to see who can make the most noise. The Irish supporters are

:39:57.:40:00.

the winners in the earlier stages in that competition. The supporters are

:40:01.:40:10.

able to buy the tickets from the Federation and are all in the same

:40:11.:40:14.

area. The Belgians did the same. We are having some technical problems

:40:15.:40:18.

today. The giant scoreboard is not working. We think the music on the

:40:19.:40:26.

PA system is not working. There was no music for the anthems. Both teams

:40:27.:40:33.

sang the anthems a cappella. The big concern is getting the video umpire

:40:34.:40:37.

system up and running. Will the Hawk-Eye system still be there? Can

:40:38.:40:39.

they refer to it? The Germans are looking for a way

:40:40.:41:03.

through. It is a scramble in front of goal. The Irish clear. What a

:41:04.:41:13.

save by David Harte. He got his left hip down. He pushed from goal with

:41:14.:41:15.

the left-hand block. Backhand shot beyond the post of

:41:16.:41:49.

David Harte. Christopher Wesley on the backhand. That is the reaction

:41:50.:41:54.

save. He gets his left hand down to block. At the other end as we see

:41:55.:42:00.

the second replay for the Mr backhand, there has been a bit it

:42:01.:42:06.

has been an argument. The umpire is reaching for the card. It is green.

:42:07.:42:17.

It is Timm Herzbruch that had it. That was the push. The umpire was

:42:18.:42:21.

right behind it and saw it very clearly. Two minute medical

:42:22.:42:27.

advantage for Ireland. 11 versus ten. -- numerical advantage. That is

:42:28.:42:37.

an appalling attempt at a tackle from Christopher Wesley. Even from

:42:38.:42:42.

appearing the commentary position, he put his left shoulder in. That is

:42:43.:42:50.

e-mailed on penalty corner. Given the card earlier on for Timm

:42:51.:42:56.

Herzbruch, why does that, not carry the same personal penalty? That is a

:42:57.:43:03.

good point. Germany are lucky to have ten men on the field. Kyle Good

:43:04.:43:21.

will inject for Ireland. That was saved. Another opportunity. What a

:43:22.:43:32.

brilliant save by Nicolas Jacobi. Low to the big man's left-hand side.

:43:33.:43:38.

That was a long drag. Down to the right-hand side. Nicolas Jacobi was

:43:39.:43:44.

outstanding. Encouraging signs for Ireland. They get the first penalty

:43:45.:43:50.

corner of the match. Forcing the best out of Nicolas Jacobi. Germany

:43:51.:43:57.

continued to pressure the Irish goal. Good defence. Germany get the

:43:58.:44:10.

first penalty corner of the match. He gets his eyes up. Mig Eagles

:44:11.:44:17.

download. It was the trailing leg, the ball hits and to give away

:44:18.:44:19.

penalty corner. The Germans discussing the options.

:44:20.:44:38.

Linus Butt will inject. The German skipper might fancy this one. It is

:44:39.:44:52.

a goal. It is Moritz Furste. Frustratingly for Ireland, he does

:44:53.:44:56.

what he likes to do, pulls it around his body. Make the goalkeeper stand

:44:57.:45:04.

up. It is gone round his feet. It goes past John Jackson on the line.

:45:05.:45:20.

Moritz Furste, the German skipper. He is the first to strike.

:45:21.:45:30.

The last couple of minutes of the first quarter. It is an action that

:45:31.:45:38.

we will see first to execute around the pitch, a lower and long drag,

:45:39.:45:44.

his favourite. Going to the right-hand side, then offsetting the

:45:45.:45:49.

goalkeeper or opponent, then driving down to the left.

:45:50.:45:58.

Michael Watt... And John Jackson. Bell calls for it on the right-hand

:45:59.:46:03.

side. You won't get it to him, they go down the centre, is a positive

:46:04.:46:08.

approach from Ireland, over the top and into the circle as the ball

:46:09.:46:15.

ricochets into the circle. The umpire with an appreciation of the

:46:16.:46:22.

player's skill level, that was not dangerous to any player, they

:46:23.:46:24.

allowed the interchange to happen. It's a free hit for Germany.

:46:25.:46:47.

Switching their angles of attack now...

:46:48.:46:59.

Moritz Furste, on the centre of the German defence. Ireland took to

:47:00.:47:12.

break free. They have 30 seconds to do damage in this first quarter. Or

:47:13.:47:16.

damage limitation with Germany pressuring. A lot of work done,

:47:17.:47:20.

final 20 seconds of the period... WHISTLE

:47:21.:47:26.

Not finished yet, Morris first takes to the edge of the circle, an

:47:27.:47:30.

individual effort perhaps to run down the clock, keep possession and

:47:31.:47:35.

take us to the tutor at the end of the first 15 minute period of play

:47:36.:47:41.

-- Moritz Furste. Here it is... APPLAUSE

:47:42.:47:45.

A good half, a good quarter for the Irish. But the German striking at

:47:46.:47:49.

the first penalty corner opportunity. Their captain Moritz

:47:50.:47:54.

Furste getting the goal, and at the break, it is 0- one to Germany.

:47:55.:48:02.

ORE: We will be back with that, in a couple of minutes time. Ireland have

:48:03.:48:06.

all of the work to do, they trailed the Olympic champions by 1-0. Before

:48:07.:48:12.

we go back, we have detail you about the fact that Andy Murray, Great

:48:13.:48:17.

Britain's flag bearer, is out on court now, looking to retain the

:48:18.:48:23.

title he won at London 2012. He takes on Monaco of Argentina, for

:48:24.:48:27.

those who want to watch the uninterrupted coverage, that's on

:48:28.:48:31.

the Red Button, but only if you have satellite or cable, it is also

:48:32.:48:35.

available on the BBC sport website and the app. We will keep you

:48:36.:48:38.

abreast of all of the action on Court one on BBC Four. There will be

:48:39.:48:43.

a lot of swimming later on here on the BBC. The guys who will bring it

:48:44.:48:50.

to you standing by. We have Helen Skelton... Rebecca Adlington... And

:48:51.:48:57.

Mark Foster! What a team. What a line-up. You know what? You all seem

:48:58.:49:01.

like you've been having the best of times in that very hot, sticky and

:49:02.:49:06.

clammy Olympic and then to. Have you come off the ceiling after Adam

:49:07.:49:11.

Peaty's world record and Olympic gold medal? Yes, we like to call it

:49:12.:49:14.

the house of fun. Will have the first two medals, I

:49:15.:49:18.

jumped on their coat-tails! We had nothing to do with those medals,

:49:19.:49:23.

just the privilege of watching it! The Brazilians have created a great

:49:24.:49:26.

atmosphere in there. Any time a Brazilian swimmer comes out, it is

:49:27.:49:32.

as if they are in the final. They go crazy! I saw a picture of some of

:49:33.:49:38.

the Samba costumes in there. They were Mark Foster! I told you they

:49:39.:49:44.

were having more fun than us! Becky, a lot of Brits in action?

:49:45.:49:48.

Terry O'Connor is looking fast in the 200? Siobhan had a brilliant

:49:49.:49:53.

heat, going into the final first, that is incredible. She has a fight

:49:54.:49:58.

on her hands with her opponent with her, but she should come away with a

:49:59.:50:03.

medal. We have the 4x200 men's relay. Britain won at the

:50:04.:50:06.

championships last year, so hopefully they will get and that as

:50:07.:50:10.

well. Helen talked about those medals, there's the momentum that

:50:11.:50:15.

the British guys have there. Are you expecting more medals? Of course,

:50:16.:50:18.

especially from Sherborne, she trained with Jazz Carlin who got his

:50:19.:50:20.

elbow. -- Sherborne.

:50:21.:50:29.

-- who got a medal. But Jazz Carlin will want time.

:50:30.:50:32.

Mark Foster, the greatest Olympian of all time, takes to the water

:50:33.:50:39.

again. We have a showdown? Michael Phelps... In the 200 meter freestyle

:50:40.:50:46.

first, that is a big race this week, they smashed the Olympic on-the-fly,

:50:47.:50:53.

and the debt he broke a world record.

:50:54.:50:55.

The one that you are talking about is Michael Phelps against Chad

:50:56.:51:00.

McCloy, that is a rematch from four years ago, that is all kicking off.

:51:01.:51:05.

Schadler clone was doing this in front of Michael Phelps's face, and

:51:06.:51:13.

he was doing this... Just pulling angry faces at him! There is

:51:14.:51:18.

definitely tactics going on there. A lot of stirring down. Before the

:51:19.:51:21.

race we saw it, side-by-side, the same as the Olympic Games, Chad

:51:22.:51:25.

cannot take his eyes of Michael Phelps and it is not because he

:51:26.:51:28.

likes him! I think that is certainly one to

:51:29.:51:32.

watch. I cannot wait, you have work to do... We would run but I feel

:51:33.:51:39.

inadequate! Helen Skelton loves a challenge, if you tell her to go she

:51:40.:51:42.

will run. Challenge her! There's a competition

:51:43.:51:46.

going on between you... Off you go, swim team! There they go! He is

:51:47.:51:51.

running, Mark Foster is running in flip-flops!

:51:52.:51:56.

Be careful! Gunners go to the Deodoro Stadium, we have the second

:51:57.:51:59.

quarter of Ireland against Germany under way, as you can see, Ireland

:52:00.:52:05.

are trailing 1-0. They had a couple of minutes already in the second

:52:06.:52:10.

quarter, let's rejoin our commentators.

:52:11.:52:16.

COMMENTATOR: Germany 1-0 Ireland. Into the second quarter. 12.5

:52:17.:52:22.

minutes until half-time. The Irish have had a couple of decent forays

:52:23.:52:31.

into the German circle. At the moment, the men in black are

:52:32.:52:40.

controlling possession. Morris first two liners but, and back.

:52:41.:52:47.

Of the centre of the diagonal. -- Moritz Furste to Linus Butt.

:52:48.:52:56.

The Germans have gone left to right all round the back three times in

:52:57.:53:00.

succession. As Schumann 's anticipated the

:53:01.:53:05.

square ball, Moritz Furste went to go to the right wing.

:53:06.:53:08.

Down the centre into the circle, pressure on the Irish goal, and what

:53:09.:53:15.

a great save! From David Harte. Germany attempting to get a backhand

:53:16.:53:20.

shot in. The Irish reinforcements arrived to shore up the defence.

:53:21.:53:41.

It's a chance for Germany to weave some magic, into the circle, Jadhav

:53:42.:53:47.

off the line and conceding a penalty corner. -- David Harte. From

:53:48.:53:55.

Grambusch, that was brilliant. Suddenly, a stick obstruction, as he

:53:56.:54:01.

goes on to David Harte on the backhand. A sliding pass earlier, a

:54:02.:54:08.

big left-hand barrier. As he shoots across him. Called upon again, the

:54:09.:54:14.

hat-trick of saves required to keep Germany at 1-0. For a big man he is

:54:15.:54:26.

so mobile. Linus Butt will inject... Which way will be Germans go this

:54:27.:54:32.

time? Here is the trap... Drag flick and the second attempt goes wide.

:54:33.:54:39.

The Germans will think that is a missed chance. That seemed to go

:54:40.:54:44.

uncontested past the post. Another great save from David Harte.

:54:45.:54:55.

Keeping the scoreline manageable at this stage as the ball bubbles

:54:56.:54:59.

around and Germany come away empty-handed at the moment. Again

:55:00.:55:05.

and again, from David Harte, that is why he is obviously one of the

:55:06.:55:09.

world's best goalkeepers, outstanding for two years now. Into

:55:10.:55:16.

the circle, high and over the top and behind.

:55:17.:55:21.

The big scoreboard is back in action now. Therefore, we will assume that

:55:22.:55:27.

the system that connects the umpire to the video umpire is functioning

:55:28.:55:32.

correctly, if required. The goal-scorer, Moritz Furste.

:55:33.:55:44.

Diagonal to Linus Butt, going on a shimmy forward. Moritz Furste takes

:55:45.:55:51.

it up again. The playmaker deep in the rich half of the field now. Tom

:55:52.:55:59.

Grambusch flicks it back inside and it bounces up, appeals from Germany

:56:00.:56:04.

for an Irish putt on the ball. I think it was the highball, Kirk

:56:05.:56:09.

Shimmins steps across, unfortunately the ball goes back across the gold

:56:10.:56:14.

-- an Irish foot on the ball. That mistake from Kirk Shimmins.

:56:15.:56:20.

Earlier, German execution, Harte with a clear, and the defence did

:56:21.:56:26.

not help him out at all. Smothered with his leg guards, on

:56:27.:56:34.

his hip, denying Florian Fuchs. That opportunity. Linus Butt lines

:56:35.:56:40.

it up with an injection. It is Tom Grambusch or Florian Fuchs

:56:41.:56:42.

potentially to get a part at this one.

:56:43.:56:49.

Grambusch, tipped over the top. Looking spectacular but that is

:56:50.:56:53.

bread-and-butter for David Harte. He is a big man, his left hand was

:56:54.:56:55.

up early. This will go to video, a corner

:56:56.:57:06.

given, the player Kurt -- Kyle Good suggested it was hand,

:57:07.:57:21.

not foot. Was it a stick or a third? Dion now

:57:22.:57:30.

has a closer look -- foot. I have a decision... It was off the

:57:31.:57:41.

stick. OK, thanks. No penalty corner, Ireland keep their referral.

:57:42.:57:46.

Everything works out well for the Irish boys. David Harte with a high

:57:47.:57:52.

left-hand, thinking he read it right off the end of Tom Grambusch's

:57:53.:57:55.

stick. Studies on how fast these balls

:57:56.:57:59.

travel, the goalkeeper has to move before the ball gets off the end of

:58:00.:58:02.

the stick. They need to read the drag and the

:58:03.:58:07.

whip. And moved early. Gleghorne with space ahead, which he enters.

:58:08.:58:12.

Not so good, the shot across looking for Peter Caruth. Too strong.

:58:13.:58:22.

Valentine Altenburg looking quite relaxed on the German bench. No need

:58:23.:58:26.

or concern yet. They played against India the other day, the second and

:58:27.:58:33.

third quarters showed good ball-handling, no urgency.

:58:34.:58:35.

The rule in that game for the Germans was that they did not want

:58:36.:58:39.

to get into a lamination one-on-one contests.

:58:40.:58:44.

Play the board around, nice and comfortable -- elimination.

:58:45.:58:47.

In the last ten seconds of the match, it was 1-1 until ten seconds

:58:48.:58:51.

before the final hooter where they got the winner.

:58:52.:58:57.

Christopher Ruhr with a backhand cross, fast and furious, but the

:58:58.:59:06.

Irish side read it well. Grambusch, overhead and across the

:59:07.:59:09.

face of the Irish goal. Picked up and controlled.

:59:10.:59:13.

Flicking it forward. The Germans look dangerous, can they turn and

:59:14.:59:18.

get a backhand shot on the goal? Good defence, every interception

:59:19.:59:22.

from Paul Gleghorne but you had to admire the creativity of the

:59:23.:59:26.

build-up. Grambusch goes from beyond the 25 line on the left, and

:59:27.:59:30.

overhead to right wing, it's a ridiculous path to set up the

:59:31.:59:36.

attack. Out of play this time, off a German stick. A bit of relief for

:59:37.:59:38.

Ireland. Gleghorne, across the turf, the

:59:39.:59:59.

Irish side can set off on a fast burst down the left-hand side now.

:00:00.:00:05.

Backtracking... All the way back. A bit risky, with Christopher Ruhr

:00:06.:00:13.

patrolling that area of the field. The Irish have got away with it.

:00:14.:00:18.

Come forward with pace... Led by John Jermyn. The Irish have to do a

:00:19.:00:26.

bit of running with the ball, creating opportunities to shut the

:00:27.:00:30.

Germans down, they have to run without the ball to defend,

:00:31.:00:31.

physically it is so demanding. That pass was intercepted by John

:00:32.:01:06.

Jermyn. It was a good job that John Jermyn did, he had to go to ground

:01:07.:01:09.

to get it because the German counterattack was at lightning

:01:10.:01:10.

speed. Chris Cargo loses out. He was so

:01:11.:01:31.

fortunate. He had not heard the call from people behind him. Fortunately

:01:32.:01:36.

for him, it hit the back of his opponent's stick. John Jermyn

:01:37.:01:41.

covering lots of ground and keeps possession for Ireland.

:01:42.:02:06.

Jackson was fortunate because he left the ball behind him when he

:02:07.:02:10.

drove them and he could have been penalised for obstruction. Good play

:02:11.:02:14.

from Michael Darling but eventually runs out of pitch. It is not over.

:02:15.:02:25.

The assault continues. Cargo will start things off again with the free

:02:26.:02:31.

hit. What a shock and 40 gold. What the score from Eugene Magee. That

:02:32.:02:38.

was an absolute rocket. Second and third phase. Back out to the 25,

:02:39.:02:47.

Nicholas Jacobi had to be unsighted. He flapped at it. The goalkeeper has

:02:48.:02:54.

missed it. It is so uncharacteristic. I do not know what

:02:55.:03:00.

he was thinking but he had gone to his left. His balance was off as the

:03:01.:03:08.

ball went past is right-hand. Eugene Magee has ripped it into the back of

:03:09.:03:12.

the net, one of the best goals in the tournament so far.

:03:13.:03:29.

The equaliser from Eugene Magee with under five minutes to play in the

:03:30.:03:33.

first-half. Once again David Harte getting the

:03:34.:04:07.

job done in the Irish goal. Not only making the same stop Mac it was just

:04:08.:04:12.

a little flick pass in. It had a touch to get it out. Back onto the

:04:13.:04:23.

foot of Tour de Jonathan Bell -- Jonathan Brown is

:04:24.:04:47.

covering lots of ground. How much confidence will be happy after

:04:48.:04:50.

levelling the score line? It will be an immense amount of confidence. The

:04:51.:04:55.

pattern of the scheme will not be a surprise. They don't it will have to

:04:56.:04:59.

weather a storm and it will be lots of German chances and David Harte

:05:00.:05:03.

had to be outstanding. The Judy would get opportunities if they were

:05:04.:05:07.

able to hold out. -- you've been Judy would do.

:05:08.:05:17.

The Irish have 2.5 minutes and a half to hold on and head into the

:05:18.:05:27.

break level. The Irish will have done their homework and will have

:05:28.:05:31.

studied what the Germans do. In this part of the game, the Germans will

:05:32.:05:36.

be patient and the Irish have to remain disciplined, keep their

:05:37.:05:42.

shape, do not give away possession. That was off the glove and behind,

:05:43.:05:47.

David Harte and the right place at the right time yet again.

:05:48.:05:51.

Absolutely. He is left-handed and did not even move. David Harte look

:05:52.:05:58.

to be surprised but it was great execution from Florian Fuchs.

:05:59.:06:11.

The Irish free hit will have to wait. 90 seconds of the first-half

:06:12.:06:16.

to play. Germany 1-1 Ireland. The Germans are unhappy that they

:06:17.:06:44.

have been put in that situation. That was a dangerous ball back into

:06:45.:06:51.

the middle. Ronan Gormley did well because he was under pressure with

:06:52.:06:55.

Germans on either side. The high ball came down awkwardly for him.

:06:56.:06:57.

The last-minute of the half. The Irish were putting pressure on

:06:58.:07:14.

Nicholas Jacobi. They have gone to the video umpire. I felt that the

:07:15.:07:18.

two Irish lawyers had got into each other's way. I thought it was Bell

:07:19.:07:24.

and Paul Gleghorne touched it in front of each other.

:07:25.:07:34.

It came off and Irish head. It certainly did. We are looking to see

:07:35.:07:41.

which stick it came off to start with. Initially it looked like a

:07:42.:07:47.

German stick then the edge of an Irish stick.

:07:48.:07:54.

My call is this a German hit out. Who is responsible for the dangers

:07:55.:08:11.

play? -- dangerous. The players seem happy that it is a free hit for the

:08:12.:08:20.

Germans. REFEREE: No reason to change your decision. Ireland have

:08:21.:08:30.

lost there are feral. That is the worst outcome of that trip to the

:08:31.:08:34.

video umpire. -- lost their video referral.

:08:35.:08:40.

Into the last 30 seconds of the half. There had been a slowdown when

:08:41.:08:49.

the video umpire was involved. The Ireland team the to maintain your

:08:50.:08:54.

concentration. That was a reverse shot. It was across the goal. It has

:08:55.:09:01.

gone in off of Paul Gleghorne, I think, but the umpire immediately

:09:02.:09:08.

said it was not a goal. The first time was a kick from David Harte.

:09:09.:09:14.

Back out to the same player. It came in off the defender but it was high

:09:15.:09:19.

and dangerous. At half-time, the Irish are very much in this match.

:09:20.:09:23.

The half-time score at the Deodoro Stadium, 1-1.

:09:24.:09:30.

Ireland showing they are more than a match for the Olympic champions and

:09:31.:09:36.

are still without a win at the 2016 Olympic Games but what the scalp it

:09:37.:09:40.

would be if they could take it off Germany. We are going to see the

:09:41.:09:44.

second half of this match on the BBC website. The website is the place to

:09:45.:09:53.

go to watch the rest of the match because we are going swimming.

:09:54.:10:28.

They give few people making their way towards us here, away from the

:10:29.:10:34.

Olympic of the centre but that is exactly where we are heading. There

:10:35.:10:39.

are so many interesting stories coming out of there, not least for

:10:40.:10:42.

the British swimmers. Let us join the three friends. Helen Skelton,

:10:43.:10:50.

Rebecca Adlington and Mark Foster. There are so many stories, aren't

:10:51.:10:57.

you? So many stories. Mass of data in the pool today. This evening, we

:10:58.:11:01.

are going to see some of the bigger showdowns in Olympic swimming. It'll

:11:02.:11:06.

be interesting to see how that plays out, Chad Le Clos and Michael

:11:07.:11:11.

Phelps, the 200 metres butterfly was so entertaining before they even got

:11:12.:11:16.

in the water. I spoke to Graham who is the coach of Chad le Clos and he

:11:17.:11:20.

said that Chad le Clos is constantly stealing down the Americans. It is

:11:21.:11:25.

this confidence thing and letting them know they are there.

:11:26.:11:38.

Watch, he is constantly looking at him. Tonight is the final of the 200

:11:39.:11:47.

metre butterfly. Michael Bell is ignoring him. Look at Chad le Clos.

:11:48.:11:53.

It is interesting and has always been that way. It is going to be

:11:54.:12:00.

such a busy final that I do not think it will be Michael Phelps and

:12:01.:12:09.

Chad le Clos. Staying up late this evening because you can see

:12:10.:12:12.

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor who has a brilliant chance of getting a medal.

:12:13.:12:16.

That is in the evening session. Before that there's lots of junk

:12:17.:12:20.

British swimmers in action in the heats. We are going to see a

:12:21.:12:24.

Glaswegian 19-year-old and the men's 100 metres. We are at hit five.

:12:25.:12:54.

COMMENTATOR: That was the replay of hit four. 48.8 seconds winning it.

:12:55.:13:04.

To go under the mass of milestones, to go under 50 is huge. To go under

:13:05.:13:13.

49, he has half a chance of making the semifinal, Dylan Carter.

:13:14.:13:20.

Four more heats to go. They might have to be faster than that, Andy.

:13:21.:13:32.

Duncan Scott goes for Great Britain in lane six. The label me and Amy

:13:33.:13:42.

used to be the world champion at that. He's not slow. People want to

:13:43.:13:44.

make the semifinal. Duncan Scott beside the Italian and

:13:45.:13:58.

a great opportunity he was forming in the European

:13:59.:14:12.

Juniors last year in 2015. It is his first Olympic Games. A member of

:14:13.:14:18.

that war by 400 metres squad at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

:14:19.:14:24.

Three from the left-hand side is Duncan Scott from Great Britain in

:14:25.:14:34.

Lane six. And in seven is Magnini. In Lane one, the Greek swimmer has

:14:35.:14:39.

gone off like a rocket. Duncan Scott is going with him. Free from the

:14:40.:14:47.

right. Duncan Scott. Three tenths of a second behind. This is good from

:14:48.:14:56.

Duncan Scott. He has tracked the decathlete very well. He goes to the

:14:57.:15:00.

University of Stirling. His coach has done very well. Can he get 48?

:15:01.:15:11.

48.0. Well done. That is absolutely outstanding and it is a new British

:15:12.:15:16.

record. Well done, sir. That is outstanding from Duncan Scott. He

:15:17.:15:20.

will certainly make it through to the semifinals tonight and that is

:15:21.:15:24.

brilliant. There are 24 men in the next three heats who are

:15:25.:15:31.

absolutely... The nerves and adrenaline flowing like crazy at the

:15:32.:15:32.

moment. What a swim. Duncan Scott with a fantastic swim

:15:33.:15:47.

there, he has the men's relay coming up, and he's in that race.

:15:48.:15:52.

That was a fantastic swim, lovely clear water against some really

:15:53.:16:00.

strong swimmers. Magnini down in sixth place, he beat him by 1.4

:16:01.:16:08.

seconds... On the way into the Olympic Park

:16:09.:16:11.

this morning, one of our colleague said that Duncan Scott is one of the

:16:12.:16:15.

most exciting young prospects in the British team. That person is feeling

:16:16.:16:18.

pretty pleased with themselves right now! How fair is that you say? Very

:16:19.:16:25.

fair! On the back of that committee has dropped no .5 seconds over 100

:16:26.:16:29.

metres. Coming into Championships, you want to be at your best. He has

:16:30.:16:37.

blown himself away, and asked. Down that fast length he had a lot of

:16:38.:16:41.

speed. He has the 4x200 relay coming up. He can do a straight swim down,

:16:42.:16:48.

get back in the pool, interesting to see how he does, if he wants a place

:16:49.:16:52.

in that or the final... Tonight he has the semifinal of the 100, then

:16:53.:16:58.

the 4x200. It is a big day but what a swim.

:16:59.:17:01.

Smashing the British record, it is incredible. A busy day for him, but

:17:02.:17:05.

is he the kind of character who will thrive off this atmosphere and

:17:06.:17:08.

adrenaline of what has been going on? He will love it, you have the

:17:09.:17:19.

relay spot in place, and the 4x200 this evening.

:17:20.:17:21.

He is in good position for the relays. Let's see the next heat...

:17:22.:17:23.

COMMENTATOR: It is the first of the seeded heat. Look at that. Ning

:17:24.:17:33.

Zetao in Lane four. The world champion in this 100 metres

:17:34.:17:39.

freestyle. This is a fascinating heat, in three we have one of the

:17:40.:17:44.

swimmers who has previously tested positive for drugs, Vladimir

:17:45.:17:47.

Morozov. He was removed from Russia and then put back in. He is in lane

:17:48.:17:55.

three. Ning Zetao in four. In five, Santo Condorelli always goes out

:17:56.:18:00.

quickly. Marcelo Chierighini will go out like a rocket. On the left-hand

:18:01.:18:09.

side of that shot is Joseph Schooling, key could well challenge

:18:10.:18:12.

Michael Phelps for the 100 metre final. Look how fast he is going

:18:13.:18:17.

down this verse 25. Ning Zetao going quickly, and Schooling. Ning Zetao

:18:18.:18:24.

is one of your prerace favourites, in second place at the moment. The

:18:25.:18:29.

Russians were in Lane three is still with them, strong and straight arms,

:18:30.:18:33.

it is the middle lanes, dill holding the race now. Lane five, fascinating

:18:34.:18:38.

but I'm not sure if you can see close-up, Ning Zetao is amazing,

:18:39.:18:43.

pulling massive amounts of water coming through. Santo Condorelli and

:18:44.:18:49.

Schooling, a fascinating race. Did Schooling get it? Santo Condorelli

:18:50.:18:55.

first, Vladimir Morozov third, and Ning Zetao was in sixth. Wow! The

:18:56.:19:01.

whole race slower than Duncan Scott's race. By a street. 12 one

:19:02.:19:09.

hundredths of a second. It is interesting, Schooling on the left

:19:10.:19:16.

hand with a really good dive into the water.

:19:17.:19:24.

Right under, 50 metres. The surprise for us is Ning Zetao of China,

:19:25.:19:28.

insects, he may not make the semifinals. He may not make the

:19:29.:19:35.

final possibly because of Duncan Scott -- in sixth position.

:19:36.:19:40.

After six heats, Duncan Scott in place for a semifinal, he is still

:19:41.:19:45.

fastest. So far, two heats to go. Next, Benjamin Prout. You know him

:19:46.:19:50.

quite well, you mental hem, how is he coming into this quick and Mark

:19:51.:20:02.

-- prowled! -- Proud. I have not seen anyone like him, strength wise

:20:03.:20:08.

and physically, there is not an ounce of fat on him.

:20:09.:20:11.

He needs to be big to compete in this? Sprint is about a lot, but you

:20:12.:20:16.

want to stay light. You want to skate along the surface of the

:20:17.:20:20.

water, if you have a lot of power and don't weigh a lot come you can

:20:21.:20:28.

skim. The 50 will be his main, -- way a lot, you can skim. Let's see

:20:29.:20:37.

how Benjamin Proud gets on. COMMENTATOR: Proud at the top of the

:20:38.:20:43.

shot, a British record-holder. Red Hat in the top of the shot. The

:20:44.:20:53.

fasted seeded this second have is the Olympic champion.

:20:54.:21:02.

The super start with Caeleb Dressel of the USA. He is doing well for the

:21:03.:21:06.

American team, a brilliant split, this is the right place for Proud.

:21:07.:21:14.

Taking the race out, 22.894 Caeleb Dressel. A great first 50. Doing

:21:15.:21:18.

well. Caeleb Dressel doing fantastically. Ben Proud is behind.

:21:19.:21:25.

What a shame we can't see. That term was extraordinary. He was

:21:26.:21:31.

in the American 4x100. That touch was very close.

:21:32.:21:43.

Charmers get said. Duncan Scott would have been third in that one,

:21:44.:21:49.

Ben Proud unfortunately faded. 8.4 91. A world junior record for

:21:50.:22:00.

Carl charmers of Australia. 18 years of age. On the left of the

:22:01.:22:10.

shot -- Chalmers. That was interesting, and proud with them in

:22:11.:22:17.

the first 50. He is a strong swimmer, but Caeleb Dressel took him

:22:18.:22:18.

a part on the turn. Not even guaranteed in the

:22:19.:22:29.

semifinals. It is extraordinary. Proud, as the

:22:30.:22:36.

guys said, his start looked good, how much confidence will it get him

:22:37.:22:41.

for the 50? He got a bit lost in that turn and was not able to bring

:22:42.:22:46.

it back. He is obviously focused on that, thinks it is his best shout.

:22:47.:22:51.

To be fair, with Duncan Scott, he is definitely going to get that spot on

:22:52.:22:58.

the relay. He looks good for the 4x100 but I'm a bit disappointed I

:22:59.:23:02.

thought he would have more and challenge Scott for the relay spot.

:23:03.:23:09.

He looked good but he has two swim 50 in the next couple of days, his

:23:10.:23:14.

main event. He has always been stuck in between, do I do a bit more work

:23:15.:23:21.

or do my main event? We are fighting with the Brazilian

:23:22.:23:26.

crowds! Let's let our commentators fight with them on this one!

:23:27.:23:36.

We have the Brazilian commentators with us, if you hear a loud noise in

:23:37.:23:42.

30 seconds, it's that! In the centre, McEvoy of Australia, the

:23:43.:23:47.

third fastest man in history. Some big guys could go out if we aren't

:23:48.:23:58.

careful with this one. The Olympic champion could go out.

:23:59.:24:01.

McEvoy has a good start in the yellow hat of Australia. By far the

:24:02.:24:09.

fastest two of this year. Unusual for a 100 metre freestyle, in the

:24:10.:24:13.

yellow cab, a strong and high elbow action going into the turn. -- cap.

:24:14.:24:25.

Velimir Stjepanovic is not so fast. Also going very well at the bottom

:24:26.:24:31.

of the picture is the German swimmer, Damian Wierling. The two

:24:32.:24:37.

biggest guys could be out, fascinating. At the centre, Cameron

:24:38.:24:40.

McEvoy of Australia, and he gets it. There is a 48.4 and a 48.5, I'm not

:24:41.:24:59.

sure if there will be a swim off? We have Nathan Adrian in six.

:25:00.:25:12.

The Olympic reigning champion? Not for long.

:25:13.:25:17.

McEvoy had a good swim, a steady first length, then turning the

:25:18.:25:22.

burners on, 75 metres. He really looked fantastic, on the

:25:23.:25:25.

right of your shot. The last ten metres were really

:25:26.:25:29.

strong. Not as quick as Duncan Scott! He is in third. Duncan Scott

:25:30.:25:35.

is third fastest in the world after the heat of the men's 100 metre

:25:36.:25:40.

freestyle. He did the job, the job is to make the semifinals, the top

:25:41.:25:45.

16, but he nearly pushed out the Olympic champion and the world

:25:46.:25:51.

champion. I wonder if he will break the world record? That was an

:25:52.:25:54.

interesting swim from McEvoy, not the largest swimmer, very slight.

:25:55.:26:01.

Not the biggest unit, compared to some of the 100 metre freestyle

:26:02.:26:08.

swimmer is that you see. One of the quickest. Cameron McEvoy winning the

:26:09.:26:16.

men's 100 metre freestyle, pedestrian compared to his 47.0 he

:26:17.:26:20.

won the Australian trials in. Look at that. Some quick guys not

:26:21.:26:29.

going to make it in... So, Kyle Charmers goes in.

:26:30.:26:40.

Duncan Scott of Great Britain third fastest going into the semifinals.

:26:41.:26:46.

Game on, Duncan! Look at the bottom, the world champion and defending

:26:47.:26:53.

Olympic champion, Lucky boys! Duncan Scott going in third fastest

:26:54.:26:57.

into the semifinals meaning he will be in the first semifinal.

:26:58.:27:01.

What is better? Second semifinal in lane five. Know he will be... Yes he

:27:02.:27:08.

will! Thanks Mac knowledge! You want to be in the second because you want

:27:09.:27:13.

to see what the other guys have done will

:27:14.:27:18.

have done. We will see him shortly in the relay? He did not do any

:27:19.:27:24.

interviews, straight into the swimming pool, he will swim up and

:27:25.:27:31.

down for 20 or 30 minutes, easy. Get ready for the relay at the end

:27:32.:27:34.

of the session. Enough time to recover.

:27:35.:27:38.

Ben Proud did it. Let's hear from him. An opportunity to get in the

:27:39.:27:46.

water. In that first bit, you looked great? Yes, it felt like a good

:27:47.:27:48.

swim. Obviously, that time, it was fast

:27:49.:27:53.

from my PB. But we will see how it goes. I've

:27:54.:28:00.

been swimming faster than ever, but trying to get the race right at the

:28:01.:28:06.

time, it did not happen. The 50 is where all of your

:28:07.:28:10.

attention lies? Yes, it is what I've been training for. I am training for

:28:11.:28:18.

the 100. Duncan has a 48.0. He is amazingly

:28:19.:28:22.

talented, I think that we are in good hands in terms of Duncan.

:28:23.:28:27.

Now I can go back and focus on the 50. See you later in the week!

:28:28.:28:35.

For the flash and dash! I love it! In the last couple of years we've

:28:36.:28:38.

spoken a lot about Ben Proud and how we want him to have that confidence

:28:39.:28:43.

and arrogance, there he looks bigger and stronger and more relaxed than

:28:44.:28:46.

we've seen him in the last couple of years? He looks in the best shape.

:28:47.:28:52.

We had a conversation fair, I was a 50 metres, and everybody

:28:53.:28:55.

automatically goes that you are fast, do another thanks and back,

:28:56.:29:00.

your body make-up is in such a way that you only have speed. You go

:29:01.:29:05.

further and your body breaks down, you get lactic acid and your body

:29:06.:29:09.

blows up. He's been trying to do more work for the back end of the

:29:10.:29:14.

100, is the opportunity for a medal. It is like Rebecca, she could not

:29:15.:29:19.

sprint, that is her body make-up. He's disappointed with his time but

:29:20.:29:23.

good to getting there. A bit of a smile, nice for him to get his first

:29:24.:29:28.

swim out of the way? Yes, we often say to blow the cobwebs away and get

:29:29.:29:32.

into the pool, that is what he's done. Now he does not have to worry,

:29:33.:29:37.

not worry, but focus on the 4x100 by the end of the week. You can just

:29:38.:29:42.

focus on the 50 metres. Ben Proud put all of his eggs in that 50s

:29:43.:29:47.

basket, but Michael Phelps has a lot of eggs in his baskets, set your

:29:48.:29:51.

alarm clock, we will see Michael Phelps take on Chad le Clos. One of

:29:52.:29:55.

the most fiercely fought competitions in the 100 metre

:29:56.:29:58.

butterfly. Michael Phelps has taken his 19th Olympic medal, is he-man or

:29:59.:30:02.

machine? A huge gold medal for Michael Phelps

:30:03.:30:23.

and a new world record. I wonder if we have somebody that is going to

:30:24.:30:26.

replace Mark Spitz is the greatest ever swimmer. Can Michael Phelps go

:30:27.:30:40.

eight Gold Medal is in eight days? He is trying to set Olympic history

:30:41.:30:46.

and set swimming history. Eight days, eight gold medals, Michael

:30:47.:30:47.

Phelps is the greatest. These are his last Olympics and he

:30:48.:31:04.

will go out as the best ever. The most Olympic medals in history.

:31:05.:31:05.

Nobody has won more medals. Michael Phelps is back. Michael

:31:06.:31:22.

Phelps is coming out of retirement. The US Olympic swimmer Michael

:31:23.:31:26.

Phelps has been arrested. He will not be allowed to represent the

:31:27.:31:33.

United States, his second arrest for drink-driving, banned for competing

:31:34.:31:35.

for the United States for six months. Michael Phelps is heading to

:31:36.:31:44.

Rio. The showdown at Rio looms. Unbelievable form Michael Phelps,

:31:45.:31:48.

his 19th Gold Medal. He is a true champion.

:31:49.:31:52.

That is kind of creepy. He is a fascinating man. Everything he has

:31:53.:32:02.

done in the swimming pool, and everything he has done out of the

:32:03.:32:06.

swimming pool, he spoke publicly about his battle with Frank. He has

:32:07.:32:12.

that two years to come back. He had been and rehabilitation. What is

:32:13.:32:16.

fascinating what is going on out of the swimming pool. Even his coach

:32:17.:32:20.

has been doing some trash talking, saying he is in the best GP has ever

:32:21.:32:24.

been in. He looks like it. Especially after the relay on the

:32:25.:32:28.

first second night, he looked fantastic. We have seen through the

:32:29.:32:32.

rounds, the heats and the semifinals. He was struggling a

:32:33.:32:37.

little bit but you do not know if they were struggling -- holding

:32:38.:32:41.

back. It is Michael Phelps. You do not know what he will bring tonight.

:32:42.:32:47.

Human beings are very addictive creatures. His addiction was the

:32:48.:32:51.

swimming pool. That finished and he was time to find himself, but why

:32:52.:32:56.

do? We are addictive personalities and he got into something else. You

:32:57.:33:02.

got into his golf at one point. He thought, what can I control and I am

:33:03.:33:06.

good at doing? That was one reason why he came back to the swimming

:33:07.:33:17.

pool. He settled down, had a baby. Let us see how Aimee Willmott is

:33:18.:33:20.

getting on and she is up in the 200 metres butterfly.

:33:21.:33:28.

COMMENTATOR: Aimee Willmott is at the top of the shot. The European

:33:29.:33:37.

champion is in Lane four. Aimee Willmott swims in the Olympic pool

:33:38.:33:42.

in London and is coached by Lisa Bates. She is on the right hand side

:33:43.:33:48.

of that shot. The European champion of Franziska Hentke of Germany in

:33:49.:33:53.

Lane four. There's nobody who is utterly brilliant in this event so

:33:54.:33:58.

it is wide open. It is wide open. It is going to be interesting to see

:33:59.:34:06.

how Franziska Hentke does. She has the 200 metre medley final turning.

:34:07.:34:11.

It is about 45 metres -- minutes before the final. It is very tough.

:34:12.:34:19.

Zhang Yufei from China in game five is a strong competitor. She was

:34:20.:34:25.

overtaken by Lane four. Franziska Hentke is still going well in Lane

:34:26.:34:32.

seven. This is the halfway turn at 100 metres. 61, it should be

:34:33.:34:42.

comfortable for Franziska Hentke. Aimee Willmott is on the red hand

:34:43.:34:47.

side. She is in an OK possession and she can work down this third 50.

:34:48.:34:55.

Suzuka Hasegawa is in Lane three. The Korean is feeding Lane seven.

:34:56.:35:00.

Aimee Willmott Tim Ream one is doing very well, coming into the top

:35:01.:35:01.

three. Suzuka Hasegawa of Japan touched

:35:02.:35:07.

first and in the The Japanese woman's palms are very

:35:08.:35:22.

good. Suzuka Hasegawa, 16 years old. Her first major championships. On

:35:23.:35:25.

the left-hand side and the Black Cats and doing well. Franziska

:35:26.:35:30.

Hentke is doing well. She is believing to her left. It is

:35:31.:35:37.

difficult to keep your stroke balance. The final five metres.

:35:38.:35:46.

Suzuka Hasegawa wins it. Zhang Yufei did well to come back in second.

:35:47.:35:51.

Aimee Willmott finished in seventh. Not quite her best. It was good

:35:52.:36:00.

strong swimming from Suzuka Hasegawa. 16 years of age. These

:36:01.:36:15.

must be swimmers for 2020. It is about investment. They have

:36:16.:36:19.

increasing funding and started thinking about coaching and who they

:36:20.:36:24.

are talented stars will be. Talent identification and development. To

:36:25.:36:30.

the red hand side, you mentioned it, the middle of those lanes with the

:36:31.:36:35.

blackcap, a German looking over to the left. That is how she swims for

:36:36.:36:42.

stroke. Keeping your head low. It is quite helpful when the woman leading

:36:43.:36:52.

the race is out on the left. The 16-year-old Japanese lady, very good

:36:53.:36:57.

swim from her. Suzuka Hasegawa, lovely stuff, well done. We will see

:36:58.:37:05.

a similar but more experienced face in Tokyo in four years' time,

:37:06.:37:10.

possibly on the podium. She wins the first of the seeded teams. Zhang

:37:11.:37:15.

Yufei in second. The European champion Franziska Hentke inferred.

:37:16.:37:22.

Bringing up to speed up Andy Murray who is hoping to defend his Olympic

:37:23.:37:30.

title, he is up one set one break. If you want to watch uninterrupted

:37:31.:37:33.

coverage of Andy Murray then you can do so on the Red Button.

:37:34.:37:40.

Meanwhile, everyone older swimming, we move into heat three of the 200

:37:41.:37:48.

metres butterfly. The mighty Katinka Hosszu is in this.

:37:49.:37:54.

COMMENTATOR: She is in Lane six. Katinka Hosszu is not there.

:37:55.:38:10.

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor as a massive threat. I think she has pulled out

:38:11.:38:15.

of a race that she could have won. I am quite surprised about that. She

:38:16.:38:19.

has this massive reputation of going all around the world swimming every

:38:20.:38:24.

single race under the sun, back to back to back. Then she comes to the

:38:25.:38:27.

Olympics and I am surprised she is not deciding to do this one. She is

:38:28.:38:35.

worried. The order of that the 200 metre flies semi-estimate and and

:38:36.:38:42.

then the medley. I would not do a 200-metre butterfly before the 200

:38:43.:38:51.

metre medley. I would not do a 200 metres butterfly. Four. I have done

:38:52.:38:52.

one. That Lee Smith Sunni Hor shape in

:38:53.:39:10.

Lane for. The black hat of the Japanese woman again. Japan are

:39:11.:39:19.

having a good meet. Two Japanese swimmers, very strong in this event.

:39:20.:39:28.

It is an open field. No standouts. You can see the Japanese hammering a

:39:29.:39:31.

great time in the final tomorrow night. These ladies are tried to

:39:32.:39:36.

qualify for this evening, the semifinals. Tempi start local time

:39:37.:39:40.

and 2am in the UK. It is Camille Adams of the USA

:39:41.:40:06.

first. Natsumi Hoshi is second. And Anja Klinar of the dash of Slovenia

:40:07.:40:14.

right at the top. It is interesting the sideways believing, you do not

:40:15.:40:18.

have to lift your head quite as high up so your energy is used to full

:40:19.:40:22.

you forwards, to propel you forwards rather than propel you up to make

:40:23.:40:26.

sure you have enough gap between the chin and your water to take a

:40:27.:40:31.

breath. If you do believe to one side, your whole body times one bit.

:40:32.:40:35.

You have to maintain power through the water. It is a great shot and a

:40:36.:40:46.

wonderful explanation. She is winning this race. She is

:40:47.:40:52.

accelerating towards the wall. Digging in. It is not easy to do,

:40:53.:41:01.

you have to have a flexible net. She might need a chiropractor when she

:41:02.:41:06.

is older. Cammile Adams of the USA wins it. It is a good time. The

:41:07.:41:11.

Japanese putting another swimmer into the semifinals tonight. Natsumi

:41:12.:41:23.

Hoshi. And a third was Brianna Throssell of Australia. The

:41:24.:41:28.

Australians have had not had the best competition so far. It worked

:41:29.:41:36.

believing to decide for Adams. Herself and Francesca Henk are going

:41:37.:41:40.

to be in a similar position, possibly need each other in the

:41:41.:41:44.

semifinals. We'll have to see how the lanes work out. Look at that. It

:41:45.:41:51.

enables her head to get really low down. It is wonky, the right arm is

:41:52.:42:03.

going in earlier than the left arm. Natsumi Hoshi, for me, is stronger.

:42:04.:42:07.

It is unknown how much the swimmers are going. Particularly when there

:42:08.:42:13.

are not so many entries. Only 28 entries and 16 go through. You only

:42:14.:42:16.

need to beat 12. The results, Adams won it. Natsumi

:42:17.:42:31.

Hoshi in second and Brianna Throssell in third.

:42:32.:42:36.

And Natalie Adams looked so surprised that time. Her reaction

:42:37.:42:42.

was amazing, I cannot believe it. The colleges are you of the time you

:42:43.:42:46.

are doing when you're in the pool? It depends. He only swims one

:42:47.:42:55.

length. I get 802 it was different. It is different when you are

:42:56.:43:07.

swimming the distance events. The fact that Katinka Hosszu did not

:43:08.:43:10.

come out, it was a surprise. She was on the starkness. I think she looked

:43:11.:43:17.

at Siobhan last night. The semifinals are just before the

:43:18.:43:23.

medley. It Siobhan was swimming 2.0 nine. Unless she rests herself, at

:43:24.:43:29.

Siobhan will be told this evening. She wants to go through this meet

:43:30.:43:35.

unbeaten. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, she is running scared, Katinka

:43:36.:43:40.

Hosszu. Let us see what happens in hit four.

:43:41.:43:45.

COMMENTATOR: The final heat of the women's 200 metre butterfly.

:43:46.:43:50.

Madeline Groves as fast as coming into this.

:43:51.:44:01.

They know exactly what they have to do in the final heat. 2.07 minutes

:44:02.:44:20.

should make it. But yellow hat in the middle is Madeline Groves.

:44:21.:44:28.

Terrible start from Mireia Belmonte. Madeline Groves making certain other

:44:29.:44:31.

start. Going into this race the fastest in the world. Franziska

:44:32.:44:37.

Hentke is three tense of a second behind. Zhou Yilin is in second

:44:38.:44:51.

place but looking pedestrian. She did not have the greatest 100 metre

:44:52.:44:58.

butterfly. She looks good and is working quite hard, Madeline Groves.

:44:59.:45:08.

England two, the threat is going to come from there and that means six.

:45:09.:45:11.

Madeline Groves is labelling slightly.

:45:12.:45:18.

She looks comfortable on the right-hand side, Hali Flickinger.

:45:19.:45:28.

Profits are starting to sag a little bit. She is now almost pushing

:45:29.:45:33.

through the water instead of being flat. Contrast that with Lane two.

:45:34.:45:40.

Very strong and powerful. The field is catching up Madeline Groves. Five

:45:41.:45:49.

and six coming back at her. Mireia Belmonte tried to make up with her

:45:50.:45:52.

disappointment of two silver medals at the London Olympics. She was

:45:53.:45:56.

injured last year. She is in Lane five. Madeline Groves is trying to

:45:57.:46:08.

hold on and she has to be careful. She is looking tired. Coming through

:46:09.:46:15.

in six, it looks like Liliana Szilagyi from Hungary. Mireia

:46:16.:46:30.

Belmonte wins it in the end. Madeline Groves, interesting way of

:46:31.:46:32.

swimming. She went out very hard. It was too hard to cool, Groves went

:46:33.:46:42.

out and dived back a bit, Hali Flickinger took it over on the final

:46:43.:46:47.

50, slowing up, and then Mireia Belmonte came through, powerful at

:46:48.:46:49.

the end. It's always good to see the swimmers

:46:50.:46:54.

who... Keep an eye on those who have the

:46:55.:46:58.

pace and energy to last the full length and extend their lead in the

:46:59.:47:02.

last ten metres. Obviously, with that technique, do

:47:03.:47:05.

not let the field get away from you too much.

:47:06.:47:13.

The stroke rate from Madeline Groves surprised me, she was really going

:47:14.:47:18.

for it. Snatching a little. Trying too hard? She needs to chill a

:47:19.:47:26.

little bit! Take a chill pill. She hung tough, going out hard, it looks

:47:27.:47:31.

like the wheels were falling off at the 150 turn, but she did well.

:47:32.:47:35.

The results... Zhou Yilin wintered, quickly.

:47:36.:47:45.

-- Mireia Belmonte wins it. Should be enough to make it through. It was

:47:46.:47:51.

quite a fast seat overall. Let's have a look at the semifinal list.

:47:52.:47:58.

She was fourth in the heats, fifth through to the semifinals.

:47:59.:48:01.

Back from injury, Mireia Belmonte is looking good, the fastest in. Two

:48:02.:48:09.

Americans. And the European champion Hentke only in ninth.

:48:10.:48:28.

FUNKY MUSIC COMMENTATOR: A good start, Adam

:48:29.:48:39.

Peaty is with them, it's a good start from him, and very good is the

:48:40.:48:47.

ex-recordholder from South Africa. The best reaction in the whole field

:48:48.:48:51.

by a long way. Vandenberg cannot live with him, Peaty with a great

:48:52.:49:00.

first leg. Adam Peaty is ahead of the world

:49:01.:49:03.

record. You can see, and feel, Vandenberg on

:49:04.:49:06.

his shoulder. One body length ahead, streaking

:49:07.:49:15.

away. This is quite extraordinary, absolutely phenomenal from Great

:49:16.:49:19.

Britain's Adam Peaty. Oceans of clear water between Adam Peaty and

:49:20.:49:23.

the rest of the world, bringing it home, this is utterly brilliant.

:49:24.:49:28.

Fantastic, Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for Britain, winning by an

:49:29.:49:32.

absolute street. A wonderful world record, my goodness! 57.1 three.

:49:33.:49:41.

HELEN: That was Britain's first Olympic gold for a man in the pool

:49:42.:49:44.

since 1988. We don't get tired of seeing that?

:49:45.:49:50.

I don't think we ever will. Definitely not. Fantastic, I think

:49:51.:49:54.

that he is still on a high from that one. To win in such style, 1.5

:49:55.:49:59.

seconds, how significant is that time in that distance?

:50:00.:50:03.

Huge, before he broke the world record he went 57.9, that was nearly

:50:04.:50:07.

a second faster, at the middle of last year.

:50:08.:50:12.

He has got faster and faster, that is daily 1.5 seconds quicker than

:50:13.:50:15.

anyone else in the world over 100 metres, to let people know, it is

:50:16.:50:21.

not 800 or 1500 metres, it is a short event, normally one by

:50:22.:50:24.

hundreds of seconds. They aren't won by 1.5 seconds, he

:50:25.:50:28.

has just taken breast road to another level.

:50:29.:50:32.

Even if you look at the top ten performances of all time --

:50:33.:50:36.

breaststroke. It's always Adam Peaty! They will

:50:37.:50:39.

all be looking, let me break it down, look at the underwater

:50:40.:50:43.

footage, can you see what he's doing to bring it?

:50:44.:50:45.

He is doing something differently, he is not just a better athlete.

:50:46.:50:49.

When you win the Olympic gold, what is going on in his world right now?

:50:50.:50:54.

He still has the 4x100 metre relay by the end of the week, he will be

:50:55.:50:59.

focusing on that, put the medal in his drawer, he is not doing the 200

:51:00.:51:03.

metres breaststroke he did not qualify so Andrew Willis is going in

:51:04.:51:07.

with Craig Benson, a bit of a surprise.

:51:08.:51:09.

They will be thinking, where's Michael Jamieson and Ross Murdoch?

:51:10.:51:13.

Michael Jamieson won the silver medal in the last Olympics and did

:51:14.:51:17.

not qualify for the competition, Ross missed out on bird.

:51:18.:51:20.

Even though he is the European champion and posted Dutch a quick

:51:21.:51:26.

Peaty time this year. -- third. It is all on Craig and

:51:27.:51:29.

Willis. It feels a bit mean, there's been a

:51:30.:51:33.

lot of talk in the swimming world as to who should do the 200 metre

:51:34.:51:36.

breaststroke. But Andrew Willis did the time and

:51:37.:51:39.

what he needed to do. How nice would it be to see him move

:51:40.:51:43.

things on? We are fortunate in the UK, in

:51:44.:51:47.

breaststroke events, we have a lot of people, people say why isn't Adam

:51:48.:51:52.

Peaty in there? Murdoch or Jamieson? They are three

:51:53.:51:55.

of the worlds best but do not make the team. We have a policy where in

:51:56.:51:59.

first and second trials, if you do the time, you qualify.

:52:00.:52:05.

In that event we are best in the world, we have so much depth. We

:52:06.:52:09.

have spoken a lot this week about what is going on in the lead up to

:52:10.:52:13.

be swimming, it does not matter, the man racing is Andrew Willis, let's

:52:14.:52:15.

find out some more about him. You are at your second games, how

:52:16.:52:27.

excited are you to return to the Olympic stage? Very. For me, I've

:52:28.:52:32.

been saying this, it is controlled excitement.

:52:33.:52:36.

Going to London, a bit younger then, for me it was the highlight.

:52:37.:52:42.

I'm not sure if I got lost in the excitement, I was determined and

:52:43.:52:47.

focused. A massive diversion, Andrew Willis makes three... You got to the

:52:48.:52:51.

final in London, how much they benefit is it going into your second

:52:52.:52:55.

Olympics, having it in your mental locker? It is huge. Going through

:52:56.:53:01.

the rounds at the Olympics, it is everything to every athlete, you get

:53:02.:53:10.

there and the heats are that bit quicker, the semis.

:53:11.:53:13.

There is a real feel to it. Making sure that you put yourself in

:53:14.:53:17.

the final, and putting yourself in the next.

:53:18.:53:21.

At the moment, in Britain, breaststroke is huge.

:53:22.:53:25.

I feel more practised at it, going to trials. I almost feel like I am

:53:26.:53:31.

in a world-class final just train to qualify for the Olympics. You are

:53:32.:53:35.

very experienced, you'd been on the big stage for years. How important

:53:36.:53:40.

is that and useful is it? I think now I know what to expect, I think

:53:41.:53:45.

you go to the big stages, the Olympics seems to be a step above.

:53:46.:53:49.

It is a huge occasion for me. I make sure that I take a step back

:53:50.:53:54.

from anything going on. And really focus on myself. Because, there will

:53:55.:54:00.

be nerves, and excitement. It is a huge stage two beyond. I want to

:54:01.:54:06.

control those -- two beyond. My hope is to get a medal and it

:54:07.:54:11.

always will be. HELEN: He has hit the nail on the

:54:12.:54:14.

head with controlled excitement, he is a measured and clever young man?

:54:15.:54:19.

Definitely. He's a lovely person to have on the team. He makes everyone

:54:20.:54:24.

laugh. He's a calming person to be around. Andrew Willis goes in heat

:54:25.:54:28.

four, Craig Benson in heat five, let's join heat two of the men's 200

:54:29.:54:36.

metre breaststroke. COMMENTATOR: Heat two or five of the men's 200

:54:37.:54:39.

metre breaststroke. The Brazilian fastest seed is in

:54:40.:54:48.

lane four. Nicholas Quinn of Ireland is in lane three... The Irish are

:54:49.:54:53.

having a good meet so far. Shane Ryan breaking the Irish record

:54:54.:54:58.

on the 100 metres backstroke, going at 53.8.

:54:59.:55:07.

Then on the freestyle, he did well. This is going to be interesting. The

:55:08.:55:13.

last of the unseeded heats. Mick Quinn of Ireland in Lane three,

:55:14.:55:20.

at the University of Edinburgh -- Nicholas Quinn. He is a psychology

:55:21.:55:25.

student. That will be useful! Breathe deeply!

:55:26.:55:35.

O! Bringing the swimmers back-up. Too much noise in the crowd.

:55:36.:55:42.

Whistling. The crowd, not the most

:55:43.:55:46.

knowledgeable international crowd here.

:55:47.:55:48.

There was some cheering as the swimmers took their marks. We

:55:49.:55:52.

actually saw a swimmer the other day go in before the gun, it does not

:55:53.:55:56.

happen often. Tears as he was getting outcome he

:55:57.:55:59.

walked away from Spain, but they brought him back. You are not

:56:00.:56:05.

allowed a false start. He was off and one of the referees got him,

:56:06.:56:11.

they said that they thought that he was disturbed by the noise so they

:56:12.:56:13.

got him again. We said...

:56:14.:56:19.

I had to say it is bizarre, there is sometimes background music as the

:56:20.:56:22.

future on. Still going on, they have not put it

:56:23.:56:27.

off, silence at the start. It is difficult for the crowd to be quiet

:56:28.:56:31.

when there is music on in the background. In Lane four, Tales

:56:32.:56:38.

Cerdeira Brazil going well. Also doing well is the Colombian

:56:39.:56:50.

participant in Lane one. Tales Cerdeira in Lane four doing

:56:51.:56:53.

well. He is doing really well. He has a

:56:54.:56:57.

commanding lead. Going very nicely and strongly. It does not look like

:56:58.:57:01.

he is overworking. You may be able to hear the crowd lifting, every

:57:02.:57:08.

time his head comes up they cheer. It helps his rhythm, if they get in

:57:09.:57:12.

the rhythm, it's useful, out of rhythm it is not!

:57:13.:57:16.

They really are giving it some thing, this crowd! Wonderful to see.

:57:17.:57:23.

Not bad at all. The world record was set up as a 61 seven.

:57:24.:57:33.

-- 60 1.7. I have done a fewer of these races, and you do not want to

:57:34.:57:38.

go underwater on the turn. Your breath is just bursting out of your

:57:39.:57:42.

lungs, in Lane three Mick Quinn is doing a brilliant job for Ireland.

:57:43.:57:47.

Letting the Brazilian take paste -- Nicholas Quinn. This could be

:57:48.:57:53.

perfect for him. I'm not sure if the Brazilian will stand it along, this

:57:54.:57:56.

will be hurting. He has a quick look over.

:57:57.:58:01.

This is great, it really is. From the University of Edinburgh, he

:58:02.:58:05.

is actually from Castlebar, Ireland, and decided to move over to a great

:58:06.:58:09.

programme in Edinburgh. He challenges the Brazilian for the

:58:10.:58:14.

lead. He is a real athlete. He has taken him, getting ahead.

:58:15.:58:17.

A bit of a crowd spoiler this one, Quinn comes through.

:58:18.:58:25.

11.2 is his time. Very good indeed, come on!

:58:26.:58:30.

Just outside of his entry time, but winning the last of the unseeded

:58:31.:58:35.

heats. That was a good swim from Quinn, he must have thought that he

:58:36.:58:40.

was flying! Lane seven, finishing strongly. Just

:58:41.:58:46.

beating Lane seven, Lane eight, Yannick

:58:47.:58:55.

Kaeser. You can look at the time and be disappointed, but that was a

:58:56.:59:00.

wonderful breaststroke race. The Brazilian went out strongly. A

:59:01.:59:08.

long stroke but not able to speed it up enough.

:59:09.:59:15.

Quinn in the white cap. There is his team, cheering him on.

:59:16.:59:19.

Nice high arm action. Well done! A good half of a length

:59:20.:59:23.

ahead of the Brazilian, just down out of shot.

:59:24.:59:28.

Two swimmers very close to him. Ireland's Nicholas Quinn... That's

:59:29.:59:35.

unfair ! That's not right. I must practice

:59:36.:59:45.

that! He is a fabulous athlete, he is a basketball player, Gaelic

:59:46.:59:48.

player, hurling player... He wins heat two of the men's 200

:59:49.:59:53.

metre breaststroke. Very good!

:59:54.:59:59.

HELEN: Congratulations to Andy Murray, this is match point as he

:00:00.:00:06.

takes on Monaco of Argentina. As we are about to see, it is a great day

:00:07.:00:10.

for Andy Murray or cause he's going through to the third round...

:00:11.:00:15.

A longer wryly than expected, come on, Andy, put it to bed! There we

:00:16.:00:18.

go. He put it to bed pretty quickly. Simply done, says Andy Murray

:00:19.:00:34.

through to the third round. He is having a good year. On course to

:00:35.:00:38.

defend that title. Back in the pool, it is hate number three. -- heat.

:00:39.:00:51.

There are some fabulous swimmers. The defending Olympic champion in

:00:52.:01:04.

lane five is 22-macro. -- Daniel Gyurta.

:01:05.:01:21.

Alexander Dale Owen was massively spec did. -- massively well respect

:01:22.:01:29.

did. I do wish they would turn off that

:01:30.:01:44.

music, it is of putting forward the swimmers. A soup start.

:01:45.:02:08.

I did fancy him for a medal. Nice long stroke under. Vandenberg --

:02:09.:02:18.

Cameron Van Der Burgh, second from left. Very strong 50. It is

:02:19.:02:26.

interesting, even the strength of Adam Peaty on the 100 metres, that

:02:27.:02:30.

Cameron Van Der Burgh is entering the 200m. I think Adam Peaty might

:02:31.:02:35.

have a go at the 200m in the future. You sure speed, bounce off the

:02:36.:02:59.

walls. If you have got speed going in, it helps you with the speed

:03:00.:03:04.

going out. Going really well now, 32-macro of Russia coming back --

:03:05.:03:13.

Ilya Khomenko. It could go here. Josh Prenot just

:03:14.:03:39.

missed it at the American trials. Still holding a long gliding stroke.

:03:40.:03:43.

The Russian coming back at him. Koseki did the job. The defending

:03:44.:04:01.

Olympic champion, Daniel Gyurta did not do well at all. He ended up in

:04:02.:04:08.

six position. I am not sure he will make the semi-finals. I think it

:04:09.:04:14.

will be under 11. We have not seen him all year. His times have not

:04:15.:04:30.

ranked. This man. I wonder if he had given it more effort at the end. He

:04:31.:04:40.

did ease up. Powerful. Koseki from Japan. Winning the first of the

:04:41.:04:46.

seeded heats of the 200m breast stroke. That is the result. Koseki

:04:47.:04:57.

Winslet, Ilya Khomenko is second. China are third. Cameron Van Der

:04:58.:05:08.

Burgh is seventh. You look at what has just happened with Daniel Gyurta

:05:09.:05:11.

and it underlines how impressive Michael Phelps is. To hang onto that

:05:12.:05:19.

gold medal is a long time. Even before the last Olympics he was up

:05:20.:05:24.

there. It is so hard to stay at the top of your game and he has got

:05:25.:05:29.

slower every year. Let us talk about Andrew Willis. What are his chances

:05:30.:05:34.

of getting himself in the mix for a medal? He needs to make it to the

:05:35.:05:39.

semi-finals and then the final, though through the rounds. I think

:05:40.:05:43.

he will be confident, he is fourth in the world rankings but the fact

:05:44.:05:48.

that he trains with Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and Jazz Carlin, that will

:05:49.:05:53.

give him confidence. Controlled confidence, let us see how he goes.

:05:54.:05:59.

That is absolutely what you need here. The world champion from

:06:00.:06:07.

Germany, Marco Koch in lane number four. Andrew Willis goes in five,

:06:08.:06:19.

the red hat of Great Britain. Heat number four of them 200m

:06:20.:06:29.

Breaststroke. Well, in that last heat, I am sure the swimmers will be

:06:30.:06:38.

relieved to see that he is not there, Daniel Gyurta. Marco Koch is

:06:39.:06:41.

in lane for an Andrew Willis has started well, lovely long gliding

:06:42.:06:47.

stroke. He is such a consistent performer. Since his debut he has

:06:48.:06:53.

made the final of every long course and short course. He has been

:06:54.:07:00.

focusing on this competition. In third place, nice, long, steady

:07:01.:07:06.

stroke. He has actually worked on maps. Five or six strokes less in

:07:07.:07:17.

the whole race. Making it more of an efficient stroke, quite important

:07:18.:07:20.

for him to work on efficiency. Looking good. It is important that

:07:21.:07:27.

he picks up the stroke. Quite a short stroke. A quick stroke and he

:07:28.:07:34.

was adjusting the stroke so he made the wall at a fool 's rogue. Coming

:07:35.:07:47.

through quite strongly. I would like to see Andrew Willis increase his

:07:48.:07:54.

stroke rate. At some point you have to pick it up. He is still

:07:55.:08:02.

struggling very long. The long stroke of Andrew Willis in five.

:08:03.:08:09.

Marco Koch is starting to move. He looks very good. Ippei Watanabe is

:08:10.:08:16.

in lane three. Andrew Willis is going. Look at that, three strokes,

:08:17.:08:25.

a real glide. He is overtaking Marco Koch now. Fascinating from Andrew

:08:26.:08:33.

Willis. Do not lose that in the semi-finals! Absolutely perfect. You

:08:34.:08:43.

could say. I did say! Andrew Willis, well done. Big tech in the box for

:08:44.:08:53.

the heats. Andrew Willis wins the second to last seeded heat of the

:08:54.:09:06.

200m Breaststroke. 2:8.9 two. The world champion, Marco Koch 2.8 .9

:09:07.:09:12.

eight. -- 2:8.9 eight. One arm struck first for Andrew

:09:13.:09:33.

Willis. Marco Koch has asked the German government for 1 million

:09:34.:09:44.

euros if he wins. It is a big call that Andrew Willis looked very good,

:09:45.:09:52.

winning their second heat -- the fourth hate. Talk us through his

:09:53.:10:01.

tactics. He held back and in the last 50 metres, pushed it through.

:10:02.:10:10.

His third turn, a great big ride in. Let us talk about Craig Benson

:10:11.:10:14.

because he trains alongside Duncan Scott, will he have been watching

:10:15.:10:19.

his team-mates? Of course. Especially someone that you train

:10:20.:10:25.

with. It is one of these things, if your team-mates are swimming well,

:10:26.:10:30.

when you are in heavy training, when you rest, you wonder if you can

:10:31.:10:36.

still do it, you know you're going to swim fast. Hope Liam Craig Benson

:10:37.:10:42.

can build on that and use the success -- hopefully. Let us hope

:10:43.:10:52.

so. Craig Benson is going in lane number six in the final heat. He is

:10:53.:11:00.

alongside Kevin Cordes and Josh Prenot. At the American trials, Josh

:11:01.:11:09.

Prenot got a new American record and missed the world record by a tenth

:11:10.:11:15.

of a second. It is his first swim here and I am really looking forward

:11:16.:11:23.

to this. A very good experience for Craig Benson. He will be three lanes

:11:24.:11:30.

from the bottom of the shot. Big kick underwater. Three from the left

:11:31.:11:34.

air. The red part of Great Britain, Craig Benson. He made the Olympic

:11:35.:11:46.

team on this 200m. He swam the 100 metres at the London games. He made

:11:47.:11:54.

the semifinal of the European Championships this year in the 200m.

:11:55.:12:07.

The Brazilian in lane seven and the crowd starting to get mind him. He

:12:08.:12:18.

is letting Kevin Cordes to work. Nice long gliding strokes. Craig

:12:19.:12:25.

Benson will have to do some work. He could be in six or seven days. First

:12:26.:12:34.

over is Kevin Cordes from the USA but Josh Prenot is right next to him

:12:35.:12:37.

and looks very comfortable. He is starting to make a move, Kevin

:12:38.:12:43.

Cordes has gone early. He has got some work to do, Benson. It is very

:12:44.:12:50.

close. He still can come through. Beautiful swimming there from aunt

:12:51.:13:03.

and chap called. Kevin Cordes is half a second hind -- Anton

:13:04.:13:13.

Chupkov?. He will have to pick it up to the left of your shop there. Led

:13:14.:13:17.

out by Anton Chupkov who is increasing his stroke. Anton Chupkov

:13:18.:13:24.

and very quick stroke. Kevin Cordes might get caught here. This is an

:13:25.:13:29.

amazing swimmer from Anton Chupkov?. Let us check the world record. Anton

:13:30.:13:40.

Chupkov was first, second was Kevin Cordes, third was Josh Prenot and

:13:41.:13:47.

Craig Benson was fourth and I think his time will be enough. It will be

:13:48.:13:51.

close but I think he has made the semifinal. It could be 15th place

:13:52.:13:58.

but I think he has made it. It is tight. Anton Chupkov is furthest

:13:59.:14:07.

away and Kevin Cordes is nearest to us. Anton Chupkov came in eighth

:14:08.:14:14.

ranked in the world. Speeding up his stroke here. As he came down. Good

:14:15.:14:22.

high stroke. Gets all are meant he can get from the hip movement, kicks

:14:23.:14:26.

his arms forward, legs have to be ready to do that. Josh Prenot,

:14:27.:14:37.

really disappointing from him. Confirmation after that final heat,

:14:38.:14:45.

Anton Chupkov wins it. USA in two and three and Craig Benson I think

:14:46.:14:50.

has made it into the semifinal. That might be just enough, that is fine

:14:51.:14:55.

for me. Let us see if we can get qualifiers. Here we go. Anton

:14:56.:15:05.

Chupkov goes into the semi-finals fastest, Koseki second, look at

:15:06.:15:09.

that, Andrew Willis is third fastest, he will be next to Anton

:15:10.:15:14.

Chupkov and Marco Koch in their semifinal tonight. Two competitors

:15:15.:15:20.

from Great Britain there. Very good indeed.

:15:21.:15:28.

Andrew Willis goes into the semifinal in third and he is with

:15:29.:15:36.

Sharon. Well done, while waiting, you were giving the boy 's heart

:15:37.:15:43.

failure! I could see Marco. We wanted to control it this morning,

:15:44.:15:46.

to try to progress through the round and it was pretty tough because they

:15:47.:15:52.

are going quick in the morning. I turned and had a cheeky look on the

:15:53.:15:57.

last turn and I had to up it a bit. It is a really open 200. Definitely.

:15:58.:16:05.

It is all to play for getting into the final. Do you enjoy swimming

:16:06.:16:10.

with a long stroke? Will that be the planned tonight? Yes, a bit longer

:16:11.:16:16.

and maybe try to pick up the first 50 a little bit. But breast Roque is

:16:17.:16:23.

so technical so you cannot rush it. I try to pick it up, I tend to go

:16:24.:16:27.

backwards. Keep it long and add a bit of power. Your camp is looking

:16:28.:16:34.

very happy? We are having a great games so far, the girls have been

:16:35.:16:39.

great, it is inspirational and I just tried to put myself in a

:16:40.:16:47.

position to get into the final. We will see Andrew Ellis a bit later

:16:48.:16:52.

and we will see Helen and the swimming team later -- Andrew

:16:53.:16:58.

Willis. Let's bring you up-to-date with the equestrian because they are

:16:59.:17:03.

in the final day of the eventing. As you have been hearing from us,

:17:04.:17:06.

unfortunately Great Britain ran out of contention in the team event.

:17:07.:17:12.

William Fox-Pitt was leading alongside the other British riders

:17:13.:17:16.

but unfortunately no team medal after the show-jumping but William

:17:17.:17:19.

Fox-Pitt was still into the top 25 going into the individual event so

:17:20.:17:23.

that was a slim chance he could come away with a medal. We are going to

:17:24.:17:29.

go and join them at the equestrian centre to see how he gets on.

:17:30.:17:39.

William Fox-Pitt led the dressage, he had that one unlucky technical

:17:40.:17:47.

refusal yesterday and he starts this final phase on 67.4 in 18th place.

:17:48.:17:54.

Three British clear rounds, in fact, four. The other three jumped double

:17:55.:18:01.

clears, a really good way to end after what was such a disappointing

:18:02.:18:07.

day yesterday. That was a brilliant turn from William going into that

:18:08.:18:18.

oxer. Not far off. Good recovery. A tight turn but got straight to the

:18:19.:18:29.

oxer by the gate. Another stand-off at that oxer. He looks fresher in

:18:30.:18:38.

this round than he did this morning. He is taking quite a hold. He did

:18:39.:18:44.

jump a good round this morning. That is a big one and a flyer at the

:18:45.:18:49.

last! A good way to end. Such a promising start but there we go,

:18:50.:18:55.

that is eventing, up one moment and down the next. He stays on 67.4 also

:18:56.:19:02.

no medal for Britain or William Fox-Pitt at an individual but he

:19:03.:19:06.

will finish with two clear rounds on the final day.

:19:07.:19:12.

A really strong finish for William Fox-Pitt in the individual eventing

:19:13.:19:18.

and if you want to see the closing stages of the individual equestrian

:19:19.:19:23.

eventing, you can head on to the Red Button and it is also on the BBC

:19:24.:19:30.

sport website and app. It is time for us to go back inside the

:19:31.:19:34.

Aquatics Centre. There has been a lot of noise, what have we got

:19:35.:19:36.

coming up? Welcome back, we're into the crowd

:19:37.:19:45.

pleasing event at the heats, the heats of the men's 4x200 relay.

:19:46.:20:06.

This first heat in the men's 4x200 metres freestyle relay and in the

:20:07.:20:13.

centre in the white hat, did about leading is Team USA. Going well in

:20:14.:20:21.

lane seven in -- is South Africa. Interestingly, South Africa not

:20:22.:20:28.

putting in their fastest swimmer who won the individual silver medal in

:20:29.:20:36.

the 200 freestyle, Chad Le Clos but he has the 200 fly this evening but

:20:37.:20:40.

it is a bit of a risk. It is because they need to qualify and bring him

:20:41.:20:44.

in after his 200 flights but they are looking good at the moment with

:20:45.:20:50.

Brown doing the work. France in second place and America less than a

:20:51.:20:55.

second behind. Look at that. Second left from your picture, making a big

:20:56.:21:02.

move on this third 15. Realising what an important job the opening

:21:03.:21:07.

swim is. And the American in the white hat in the centre is quite a

:21:08.:21:10.

long way back, slightly surprising to me. I expect him to come back

:21:11.:21:18.

hard on the final 50 of this but look at Brown, he is going very well

:21:19.:21:24.

indeed. Brown in lane seven for South Africa. And the Frenchman in

:21:25.:21:35.

lane six. And the Brazilians are being quite cheerful about their

:21:36.:21:40.

team. They have slipped back. It will be South Africa. We know that

:21:41.:21:47.

in the relays you are allowed to move all over the place and get that

:21:48.:21:51.

run in. A brilliant takeover from the Americans in lane four. These

:21:52.:21:58.

are the things that they do so well and I don't understand why we don't

:21:59.:22:03.

do more of this in Great Britain at the start and turns and takeovers,

:22:04.:22:06.

the technical stuff. It would be great if we could focus more on

:22:07.:22:11.

that. Take a bit of the distance out and do some more drills and skills.

:22:12.:22:17.

The Americans do it and also the world record-holder and Olympic

:22:18.:22:24.

champion. Yes, Adam Peaty is great at the little details and he has

:22:25.:22:28.

worked on them are phenomenal and every piece of that race. 100 metres

:22:29.:22:35.

gone, America now back in first place. It is going to be hard to see

:22:36.:22:42.

beyond the Americans but hopefully Great Britain have the race of their

:22:43.:22:47.

lives in them. They won the World Championship last year when James

:22:48.:22:51.

Guy hauled in the two leading teams and took the gold medal. But the

:22:52.:23:01.

Americans are very strong. It looks like it is USA first, South Africa

:23:02.:23:08.

second and France, a lovely powerful stroke. Beautiful alignment,

:23:09.:23:15.

everything using his energy systems to transport him forward, nothing

:23:16.:23:18.

outside of that and very efficient. This is great from the USA and this

:23:19.:23:29.

is a very good split from Conger. USA in first, front in second, South

:23:30.:23:34.

Africa at third and Conger, 1:45.7, very good. That was the second leg

:23:35.:23:41.

that opened up the lead and did the damage. This is now a chance, a case

:23:42.:23:50.

of everybody chasing. South Africa have come back through in the second

:23:51.:23:54.

place within 50 metres. That interesting. What a great first

:23:55.:24:05.

length. It certainly was. And that is Justus from South Africa. Doing

:24:06.:24:10.

really well. The Brazilians are now showing well in the far left of your

:24:11.:24:19.

shot. It is not helping with lanes two and three being quite slow. It

:24:20.:24:24.

is hard to catch up. Fantastic from South Africa. Brazil in lane one at

:24:25.:24:31.

the top. But it is USA and South Africa back in contention. This is

:24:32.:24:41.

Bentz from the USA against Justus of South Africa with the South African

:24:42.:24:46.

closer to us and Bentz in the centre and they have Ryan Lochte in the

:24:47.:24:51.

final leg. He has been world champion in 200 free. They have

:24:52.:24:59.

fabulous rise to bring in as well, -- fabulous swimmers. The wheels

:25:00.:25:06.

have fallen off for South Africa. It is really closing up. That is Italy

:25:07.:25:12.

in lane eight really coming through. What a change. No change at the

:25:13.:25:20.

front for the USA but all change on this left-hand side. South Africa

:25:21.:25:26.

have gone from second to fifth. This is Ryan Lochte, I love his turns,

:25:27.:25:31.

but see if we can see it. Sometimes he actually goes over on his back

:25:32.:25:34.

which is quite extraordinary will stop his butterfly kick on his back

:25:35.:25:40.

is supremely powerful and fast. He will turn over halfway

:25:41.:25:43.

like a fish! It is the real trick to get up and time it perfectly. He is

:25:44.:25:58.

a brilliant swimmer. Peter Dooley is and he is taking this one away for

:25:59.:26:05.

the USA. Netherlands in lane five coming back into it and also down in

:26:06.:26:10.

lane eight, going well is the Italians. It is USA and Netherlands

:26:11.:26:17.

just about second. You were talking about South Africa resting Chad Le

:26:18.:26:24.

Clos, he might only have one swim tonight. No doubt about who will be

:26:25.:26:28.

qualifying fastest. The American team is the threat to the British

:26:29.:26:34.

team who we will see in the next swim. We beat them last year at the

:26:35.:26:40.

World Championships. They are looking ominous and they have people

:26:41.:26:47.

they can transfer in. Like Michael Phelps!

:26:48.:26:53.

USA win the first heat. There are only two heats. It is a reasonably

:26:54.:27:14.

quick time. The time that the British team won the wood temp

:27:15.:27:20.

injured in last year was 7.04. -- won the World Championships. Ryan

:27:21.:27:27.

Lochte looked very good and they can put in three faster swimmers. My

:27:28.:27:30.

word. Frightening. That is an American takeover. That

:27:31.:27:46.

was enormously safe. Really safe, the hand goes on and there is the

:27:47.:27:55.

underwater turn from Ryan Lochte. It is going to be tough for the British

:27:56.:28:03.

team, not so much for these guys, resting people. The second semifinal

:28:04.:28:10.

is coming up. Great Britain won the very first Olympic Games in this

:28:11.:28:15.

event in 1908. Good knowledge! Did you watch it? Yes! I saw Henry

:28:16.:28:26.

Taylor on the last leg! So, the results, as expected, USA winning

:28:27.:28:33.

and they have three faster swimmers for the final. Netherlands second

:28:34.:28:35.

and Italy third, Africa in fifth. Straight into these second heat of

:28:36.:28:53.

two of this men's 4x200 free relay. Great Britain in lane four with

:28:54.:28:56.

Australia in five and Germany in six. A big job to do for these guys.

:28:57.:29:08.

And the Great Britain team is actually the full Scottish team. All

:29:09.:29:17.

four men swimming in Glasgow at the Commonwealth Games. Second behind

:29:18.:29:22.

Australia. James Guy will come in this evening for one of them.

:29:23.:29:31.

The second heat of the men's 4x200 free relay and the world champions,

:29:32.:29:39.

Great Britain in lane four, Stephen Milne leading them off and then we

:29:40.:29:48.

have Robbie Renwick, Daniel Wallace and Duncan Scott from Stirling.

:29:49.:30:00.

Scott had that fantastic swim earlier in this session. The

:30:01.:30:05.

Australians going out fast. Just above Stephen Milne, lying in fourth

:30:06.:30:13.

place and now at the waist of the Australian team, I would like to see

:30:14.:30:15.

him not get away too far. They are in sick or seven. Turning

:30:16.:30:34.

in fourth place. It is Stephen Milne turning fourth but he had a good

:30:35.:30:39.

turn and he is starting to attack Dan Smith from Australia. Going well

:30:40.:30:47.

up in two are the Russians. Stephen Milne is looking good. Turning, very

:30:48.:30:55.

tight indeed. He turned first. Ahead of Australia. Two tenths of a second

:30:56.:31:04.

ahead of Germany. Last year in the World Championships, great written

:31:05.:31:09.

word first. The Australian team are fading -- Great Britain. The Russian

:31:10.:31:22.

Federation are strong. Britain are one tenth down and the Japanese are

:31:23.:31:28.

turning first. That takeover in seven, a gold medallist second from

:31:29.:31:33.

your left there. He is having a great time. That was excellent. Now

:31:34.:31:41.

it is Japan. Great Britain still going well,

:31:42.:31:57.

Robbie Rennick is here. World champions are Great Britain and he

:31:58.:31:59.

looks good, Robbie Renwick. Four of the members of the

:32:00.:32:14.

university of sterling team here. The Japanese extending their lead --

:32:15.:32:23.

university of sterling. Robbie Renwick enjoys seeing the younger

:32:24.:32:27.

swimmers coming into effectively what is his domain. Mark Horton in

:32:28.:32:37.

lane 54 Australia. Interesting comments in the press after his

:32:38.:32:42.

victory over at the Chinese competitors. The Chinese Twitter has

:32:43.:32:56.

being going wild reacting to that. We would expect him to try and take

:32:57.:33:01.

the lead here. Slightly dangerous for great return. -- Great Britain.

:33:02.:33:16.

Team GB are six after the first two legs. The world champions have some

:33:17.:33:22.

work to do. They have to make sure the swimmers get through later. Dan

:33:23.:33:30.

Wallace Ford Team GB. He has not have the greatest year, it will be

:33:31.:33:41.

the second hundred of his 200 here. A tad slower than what I was hoping

:33:42.:33:48.

but Dan Wallace is a fighter. This year he was training in Millfield

:33:49.:33:53.

calls. Working hard, coming into this turn. Denmark in second

:33:54.:34:03.

overtaking the Japanese, the Danish team in lane number one. I'd ain't

:34:04.:34:10.

the Danish team have taken the lead. Dan Wallace in his third 50, really

:34:11.:34:20.

stretching it, putting the power in. The Russian Federation in two.

:34:21.:34:27.

Trying to bridge the gap to Denmark. Wallace is in third. This is a good

:34:28.:34:36.

leg. I was worried. We have Duncan Scott on the last leg and he is a

:34:37.:34:45.

very good freestyler. At the moment it looks like it is the Russians

:34:46.:34:53.

first. Second is Germany and third is Team GB. In those Duncan Scott

:34:54.:35:08.

for Team GB and he looks good. A strong split. We needed that. Here

:35:09.:35:16.

is a man on fire. Duncan Scott takes the lead. What a brilliant 100

:35:17.:35:24.

freestyle we saw earlier and he has gone out quickly. Two more lengths,

:35:25.:35:33.

Duncan. In lane six he has the world-record holder. That is Paul

:35:34.:35:45.

Bede men. Team GB over first, the world champions, second to Russians,

:35:46.:35:56.

third, Australia and the world record-holder at the moment by being

:35:57.:35:59.

his time. Duncan Scott is having a great swim. This last turn. Coming

:36:00.:36:11.

back quickly. Scott in his second swim of the session, those legs are

:36:12.:36:18.

going to have to go quicker. Duncan Scott -- Duncan Scott really

:36:19.:36:22.

swimming wealth. Great Britain doing what they need to do. The Russian

:36:23.:36:30.

having a go at the top. I am not sure that they will catch Duncan

:36:31.:36:36.

Scott. A very good swim for Britain. We will probably be next to the

:36:37.:36:41.

Americans. Very good swim, they have done the job, sick after the first

:36:42.:36:47.

two legs but the whole team needs to be there. A very good swim. Seven

:36:48.:36:57.

point 06 .03. That will be fascinating.

:36:58.:37:13.

7:6.7 four. That was the Americans. Duncan Scott is having the session

:37:14.:37:24.

of his life, Dan Wallace cheering them on. Robbie Renwick. Good strong

:37:25.:37:36.

powerful finish. What a future. The split there. I am trying to work it

:37:37.:37:50.

out. An awful lot of numbers. Team GB winning it and they will go in

:37:51.:37:58.

the final fastest. Let us see the qualifiers, Britain are fastest. We

:37:59.:38:05.

are world champions, USA in second ringing a couple of faster swimmers,

:38:06.:38:14.

we have James Guy tonight. The Russian Federation are third,

:38:15.:38:17.

Germany fourth, that will be an exciting final. Very close indeed.

:38:18.:38:24.

Britain are world champions and tonight they are hoping to become

:38:25.:38:28.

Olympic champions. How valuable is it going into the final fastest?

:38:29.:38:35.

Massively. They have James guy to come in. I would imagine Robbie

:38:36.:38:39.

Renwick will be out. The Americans will probably swap out three of

:38:40.:38:43.

their guys and the Australians as wealth. It is tough, it changes so

:38:44.:38:57.

much. So much confidence. Duncan Scott had an unbelievable swim

:38:58.:39:03.

there. Hopefully it will be interesting, it depends how he swims

:39:04.:39:06.

in the 100 metres, although he might focus on the re-life. I think he

:39:07.:39:14.

will do the 100m freestyle -- relay. Sometimes you find people and he has

:39:15.:39:20.

been an amazing final, that is quick. Let us hear from them. A

:39:21.:39:27.

great swim from you guys pretty new into the fastest lane tonight.

:39:28.:39:31.

Everyone did well. That is what we were looking for. We want to do a

:39:32.:39:37.

good swim in the morning to come back for the finals. We need to get

:39:38.:39:44.

rid from -- ready for the final. Was criteria for bringing in James? The

:39:45.:39:49.

slowest person in the heat would get taken out. We had no idea, it is up

:39:50.:39:57.

to our coach. Good to see you swimming well. That was a great

:39:58.:40:04.

time. It was good to be back. I needed to swim well for these guys.

:40:05.:40:13.

If we wanted to get a medal chance, I had to be on form. Duncan, I want

:40:14.:40:20.

to talk to you about the 100m freestyle earlier, did you know it

:40:21.:40:25.

would be that quick? I just wanted to try my best. Really happy. You

:40:26.:40:34.

will be busy tonight. Presumably we are looking to beat the Americans.

:40:35.:40:38.

We will see what happens. Understated. We know you have done

:40:39.:40:44.

before and you can do it again, good luck to you. Is it understated or is

:40:45.:40:50.

it endearing naivety? It is a British thing. They do not want to

:40:51.:40:57.

give anything away. It was on Bobby powers-macro face. He looked a bit

:40:58.:41:07.

flat. -- Bobby's face. It is a difficult one. He has always been

:41:08.:41:14.

the one who is there. They look up to him, but you saw in his face, he

:41:15.:41:18.

is going to be held and James Wilby end. It will be an exciting one,

:41:19.:41:24.

some of the biggest swimming superstars will be in the swimming

:41:25.:41:28.

pool and so will some of the biggest superstars in the British team. Stay

:41:29.:41:33.

with us if you can pose top we will try. 22 for British time is when we

:41:34.:41:43.

will see that. It has been getting sweaty and clammy and heart. We are

:41:44.:41:52.

getting refreshments. We have a few options, vanilla with Belgian

:41:53.:41:54.

chocolate, it sounds like a real treat. I think that is around five

:41:55.:42:05.

and a half pounds. While I decide what I am going to have, let us go

:42:06.:42:10.

back to the equestrian, we saw William Fox Pitt evolved in the

:42:11.:42:16.

eventing individual final. He had a difficult last for days or so. Let

:42:17.:42:20.

us the exactly how he gets Don and his final standings, we will show

:42:21.:42:26.

you the closing stages with William Fox-Pitt having done his run in the

:42:27.:42:30.

company of Ian Stark and Mark Tucker. Now America's void Martin,

:42:31.:42:46.

they have not had a good game but they have two in the top seven --

:42:47.:43:02.

void Martin. -- Boyd Martin. Seventh at the moment on 58 point nine.

:43:03.:43:18.

That showed a little bit in the show-jumping in the first team

:43:19.:43:31.

round. He is getting a little bit flat this afternoon. A great jump, a

:43:32.:43:41.

lot of ability, running forward onto his shoulders at the moment. The

:43:42.:43:53.

brick sticking out. And the last and that last one in particular is

:43:54.:43:59.

expect did. Puts him on 270 point nine and that really drops him down

:44:00.:44:13.

-- puts him on to 70.9. Mark Todd up again, he continues his climb, he

:44:14.:44:19.

already has a bronze medal. He cannot get into the individual

:44:20.:44:25.

places, can he? He can do anything. He is in seventh lace at the moment.

:44:26.:44:36.

Australia now. As we wait for the round to be completed, the replay --

:44:37.:44:38.

seventh place. Sam Griffiths. This is one of the

:44:39.:44:58.

best performances of his life. An Olympic Games reads well on your CV.

:44:59.:45:14.

Got the silver medal. Now, on a 53.1. He is on sixth lace, the

:45:15.:45:20.

current runs medallist on 45 with six. He needs a clear round to give

:45:21.:45:24.

himself a chance -- 45.6. Sam Griffiths has turned the screw

:45:25.:45:56.

and put the pressure on! He has had some disappointment, this was the

:45:57.:45:59.

man who slipped up on the flat in London and here he is, currently in

:46:00.:46:05.

sixth place, and with that clear round he might go higher.

:46:06.:46:14.

That was an impressive round. Two impressive rounds. Very clean

:46:15.:46:24.

jumping. Good shape. This mayor was suddenly trying for -- this mare was

:46:25.:46:34.

certainly trying for him. They have done a great job. Those are the top

:46:35.:46:41.

three at the moment in the clubhouse. Five left to jump and it

:46:42.:46:55.

is Clark Johnson. -- Clarke Johnstone. On-board this lovely grey

:46:56.:47:03.

horse, Balmoral Sensation, the 11-year-old. Currently fifth on

:47:04.:47:12.

51.3. Clarke has got himself a team bronze, he jumped a clear round this

:47:13.:47:16.

morning. Another one would definitely give him a chance. But

:47:17.:47:25.

that has put Sam up another one. He almost jumped into that too well.

:47:26.:47:27.

Massive jump. The bricks moved again but didn't

:47:28.:47:55.

come down. Oh! He will curse and he is! That drops him out of it. 59.3.

:47:56.:48:05.

He actually only goes down to places. And the horse certainly got

:48:06.:48:20.

a great job but he couldn't shorten coming out about combination and

:48:21.:48:24.

stood off a long way and Clarke shortened him and asked him for a

:48:25.:48:28.

big one and the horse gave him one but his back seat came down. I think

:48:29.:48:33.

he is kicking himself, that was definitely Clarke's mistake. He will

:48:34.:48:37.

have other chances. You might have blown it here but he will be back.

:48:38.:48:40.

-- he might have blown it. Now a man who has already got gold

:48:41.:48:58.

on his mantelpiece, Phillip Dutton. He did that in 96 in Atlanta and

:48:59.:49:06.

2000 in Sydney, riding Mighty Nice, another syndicate horse with some

:49:07.:49:13.

very loyal owners for Philip. Mighty Nice, a tremendous round yesterday

:49:14.:49:18.

across the country, put him up on a score of 47.8. He lived quite

:49:19.:49:25.

dangerously in the team round this morning. Just one fence but not two

:49:26.:49:33.

behind the lead. Of course very close behind him is Sam Griffiths.

:49:34.:49:43.

Philip could have won down and still stay where he is but not two. One

:49:44.:49:55.

time penalty. We were saying this morning, didn't look the easiest

:49:56.:50:02.

horse to jump, this. Certainly has the scope. He gets short on his neck

:50:03.:50:11.

and doesn't always soften in the frame. Just the last, still staying

:50:12.:50:24.

in fourth place and he will. Four to add. His wife was there watching.

:50:25.:50:32.

But will be a bit of joy not only for Philip but for America as well.

:50:33.:50:39.

The current best score with three to come. He did a good job, Phillip

:50:40.:50:49.

Dutton. Just coming out about combination, it is a big fence in

:50:50.:50:55.

and if they open up to much they can quicken and with two strides between

:50:56.:50:59.

the last two elements, he just was a bit short. Three to go. It is

:51:00.:51:18.

Phillip Dutton, Sam Griffiths. That is the one that this man is looking

:51:19.:51:23.

to keep out of it, the Australian, Christopher Bertenshaw. --

:51:24.:51:26.

Christopher Burton. Santano, the nine-year-old, she must be

:51:27.:51:43.

enjoying this. Now within by the superstar, Christopher Burton.

:51:44.:51:49.

Currently third, he was leading but he had fences down this morning so

:51:50.:51:55.

he is now on 45.6, bronze medal position. And he tried his heart out

:51:56.:52:05.

through that combination. He has got one fence in hand here. Christopher

:52:06.:52:12.

is certainly trying everything and this lovely horse is answering all

:52:13.:52:18.

his questions. Just a little flat. He needs to keep it together. This

:52:19.:52:24.

is a real star for the future, never mind the Olympic Games this time.

:52:25.:52:30.

That could put his medal chances out of it and that has. What a pity.

:52:31.:52:39.

Christopher had two down this money in the team round for Australia and

:52:40.:52:46.

now two in the individual round. 53.6. And it is Phillip Dutton who

:52:47.:52:56.

goes into bronze medal position. Horse and rider worked jolly hard in

:52:57.:53:00.

that combination and got away with it. And these final two fences, just

:53:01.:53:10.

caught the wall behind and the final oxer, just again those back legs

:53:11.:53:15.

flick the front polled. So unlucky, such a brilliant young course and a

:53:16.:53:18.

great conversation -- front poll. Now it is Astier Nicolas. They not

:53:19.:53:31.

only put France in front in the dressage but

:53:32.:53:51.

also in the cross-country and had a great performance in the

:53:52.:53:54.

show-jumping to clinch the job properly. 42 was his score. He now

:53:55.:54:01.

has two fences in hand at the moment on current bronze medallist, Phillip

:54:02.:54:08.

Dutton, on 51.8. And still want to come. Oh! -- one to come. Has that

:54:09.:54:19.

unsettled the horse? He is going higher now. It slowed him down in

:54:20.:54:25.

the combination but that was such a pity. The horse hesitated when he

:54:26.:54:32.

was a little bit off that oxer and went up a huge height and didn't

:54:33.:54:40.

travel far enough across the fence. Still safely in bronze at the moment

:54:41.:54:46.

on 46, sorry, in silver I should say. He could still have another but

:54:47.:54:51.

it opens the door for Michael Jung and gives him a fence in hand. Over
