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 | :54:52. | :54:55. | |
the last, he has got a couple of time faults. He is on 248. -- he is | :54:56. | :55:08. | |
on to 48. It is silver, he will definitely win silver. It has given | :55:09. | :55:20. | |
Michael Jung more room. A great pity that happened. You could see the | :55:21. | :55:26. | |
horse really trying, couldn't quite get the back end over. Drama from | :55:27. | :55:38. | |
beginning to end in this eventing. At the moment, Nicolas has assured | :55:39. | :55:44. | |
himself of a silver, he already has a team gold. And the man in bronze | :55:45. | :55:50. | |
at the moment is Phillip Dutton for the United States. Here comes the | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
reigning Olympic champion, Michael Jung. | :55:54. | :56:13. | |
Michael Jung, the Olympic champion of 2012, coming back for years later | :56:14. | :56:20. | |
with the horse that the this year won the eventing grand slam on | :56:21. | :56:24. | |
summer to give him back-to-back Olympic titles. What a horse he has | :56:25. | :56:33. | |
been, his reserve horse, he can't afford to have won down. But not two | :56:34. | :56:40. | |
-- one down. He doesn't normally need that sort | :56:41. | :56:51. | |
of leeway but pressure can get to anyone. A little toe tap there. | :56:52. | :57:03. | |
Beautifully shortened in the last element. | :57:04. | :57:16. | |
Can this man emulate Mark Todd and win consecutive individual gold | :57:17. | :57:22. | |
medals? Two to go. And one to go, the crowd is already | :57:23. | :57:37. | |
getting excited. Oh! What a man and what are horse! Not five months ago | :57:38. | :57:48. | |
he won badminton and an eventing grand slam -- Badminton. He has now | :57:49. | :57:53. | |
added another Olympic title and that is sensational and it really does | :57:54. | :57:57. | |
clinch a fantastic Olympic Games here in Rio for 2016. There can be | :57:58. | :58:05. | |
no doubt that this man is a very worthy double Olympic champion. He | :58:06. | :58:12. | |
certainly is, that was phenomenal. Sam was his reserve horse for this | :58:13. | :58:16. | |
Olympics and what a reserve to have. Already an Olympic gold medallist | :58:17. | :58:25. | |
and a Badminton and burly winner and a European champion and now double | :58:26. | :58:26. | |
Olympic gold medallist. There is father. And they have all | :58:27. | :58:40. | |
played their part but in the end, the horse and rider are the ones | :58:41. | :58:43. | |
that deserve that gold medal. And not an anxious moment in that | :58:44. | :58:55. | |
round, quite brilliant. He is an incredible man. And he is enjoying | :58:56. | :59:05. | |
it. Gold for Michael Jung of Germany. It is bronze for Nicolas -- | :59:06. | :59:20. | |
it is silver for Nicolas. And Phillip Dutton takes the bronze. The | :59:21. | :59:33. | |
whole competition has been full of excitement and drama. Some great | :59:34. | :59:41. | |
competition right from the word go. And that is the great owner just | :59:42. | :59:45. | |
congratulating Michael. The medal ceremony will be coming | :59:46. | :00:00. | |
very shortly. And there will be a lot at celebrations of some great | :00:01. | :00:08. | |
sport here, no doubt about it. The action keeps coming, | :00:09. | :00:12. |
