Thank you. Good afternoon, good evening, welcome to you in the UK. | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
It is a gorgeous afternoon here. We have even got a brand-new beach | :02:10. | :02:17. | |

specific timing, this is how things work. The sailing is on the way | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
shortly. We will do some live diving shortly for the women's synchronised | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
that form final. And the Rugby sevens will start our coverage. We | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
will wrap up everything that has happened and bring you the rest of | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
that at around ten 30p.m. On day four of the Olympic Games. Let us | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
remind you what else you can watch. On BBC One, it is the canoe single. | :03:46. | :03:57. | |
Archery is on the red atom. Earlier Great Britain qualified for the | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
court final -- read bottom. Live tennis on the website -- Red Button. | :04:05. | :04:17. | |
Johanna Konta is in action. She is serving and going with serve. | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
Everything is live, wherever you want to go. There is a schedule of | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
everyday and up to 24 live streams available at once. We are going to | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
be concentrating a lot today on this. | :04:37. | :05:05. | |
If you like your Rugby sevens and it has been a brilliant tournament so | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
far with Australia victorious in the women's event, the men's tournament | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
started with a bang today. We will bring you up-to-date with the next | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
few hours and we have Team GB coming up later. People are getting did by | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
their man in the shower. -- getting did. We have to bring new | :05:28. | :05:39. | |
life sailing -- distract did. She caught and asked the chest | :05:40. | :06:01. | |
infection, did Bryony Shaw, but did her luck change? -- she caught a | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
nasty chest infection. We are on the E of your third | :06:06. | :06:18. | |
Olympic Games and I am wondering how differently this feels. I think I | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
feel my most prepared. That experience that two previous games | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
gives you, I am Carl Meyer and that preparation helps you -- I am more | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
calm. How do you think you can do here? I think Rio is a complex | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
venue. It is potentially extremely varied with the different course | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
areas. I think that will play to my strengths, I am a very adaptable | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
sailor, one of the most consistent across the wins. How would you | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
summarise 2016 for you? It started off with a gold medal in the World | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Cup event in Miami and a silver medal at the World Championships and | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
from there, I have not been off the podium and it is that level of | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
consistency that I can show through, a maturity that I have developed. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Rio you will need to be versatile and hopefully that is what you will | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
see is a versatile adaptable person who can react curveballs and stay | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
mature and level-headed through the event. That was Bryony Shaw speaking | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
before the games and you may have picked up on what happened | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
yesterday, one of the things we have spoken about regarding the sailing | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
venue is the fact that there is a lot of pollution. We were talking | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
about fact that the vast pejorative of the sewage gets emptied into the | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
bay where the sailing is taking place and there is a lot of debris, | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
sailors are worried about that and that is what happened to Bryony Shaw | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
in one of her races yesterday and this is her rather tearful interview | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
at the end day. I had a technical problem. I missed the start. I got | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
back. I caught back through the race, the speed was good and after | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
that, the start was really bad, so that was the major set act. Second | :08:32. | :08:43. | |
start, I wanted to get on the Finn off the left-hand side and I clipped | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
the line -- setback. I capsized and the had to try and come back but it | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
was really bad, the start -- and I had to try and come back full is. I | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
was second then, I got a good start, the French girl was just ahead of | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
me. I caught a bag on my Finn stop --. I catapulted, because I came to | :09:21. | :09:32. | |
a dead stop. Had to recover my sale, I do not know how many girls passed | :09:33. | :09:42. | |
me, I went to wherever. Is there anything good you can take from it? | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
No. Thank you. Good luck tomorrow. Not particularly happy, rotten luck. | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
We will join the sailing, you may remember that in 2012, they were in | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
Weymouth, they are not far from us. It is the other side of sugar loaf | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
Mountain. Shirley Robinson is there. We will start with Bryony Shaw, we | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
know all about the preparation, know that yourself, when you come here, | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
it is an outside influence that affects you and you can understand | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
why she is so upset? She had a terrible day. She is better than | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
that. In the first race, she did not quite get it together and she did | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
not have a great race. In the second race, she tried to hard and caught | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
her then on the line and in the third race, court the bag and that | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
caused to do a massive catapulted. I have high hopes for her, she is | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
confident and has never been more fit, she is always in the medals. | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
There will be curveballs in Rio, it is the toughest Olympic venue I can | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
remember, if she can keep a level head and keep chipping away, one | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
race at a time, she could still the air for a medal on Sunday. Surely | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
the voice of experience, and that is the sort of thing that she needs to | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
hear. Nick Dempsey has had a better games and he has made a great start. | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
He is flying. The last few years, it has not in coming together. I | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
thought he had lost his Mojo, but yesterday, first this morning and | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
first and second yesterday. Just behind me, coming to the finish, | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
Giles Scott, great written's greatest hope for a gold medal, a | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
difficult race for him, but here he is, just about to finish -- Great | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
Britain. The same boat that then Ainslie managed to win a gold medal | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
on. I heard you same that in those ten classes, Team GB have a good | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
opportunity for medals. Stephen Park, the Olympic manager, this is a | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
really peculiar venue, it is hard to predict what will go on as currents, | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
tides and wins, you can see how massive the mountain is, that will | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
have an impact on the breeze. It will be a real all-rounder who wins, | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
someone with a level head who can recover from set backs stop Team GB | :12:38. | :12:49. | |
has that. Thank you. We hope that the sailors will be able to deliver. | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
We talked about Ryan Day sure, she has been on the water in the last | :12:55. | :13:12. | |
few hours. -- Bryony Shaw. The Italian leading the windsurfing and | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
working hard, around the top of the course, straight in. The Russian, 19 | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
years of age around the top starts to pump the footwork, working | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
everything, the Reagan really pumping. We have Spain coming in, | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
Poland coming then pumping hard on the starboard lay line. Israel | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
attacking up Amat and China coming in, almost managing to close around | :13:43. | :13:53. | |
and a group of four rounding, the French competitor managing to bearer | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
on the inside. Estonia coming up to the Winwood Mark. Could not quite | :14:00. | :14:13. | |
hold it. I great day for Flavia Pennetta. She would move into the | :14:14. | :14:26. | |
lead -- Flavia Tartaglini. Poland, the world champion having to put on | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
the brakes. Thailand following the world champions. Just waiting for | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
Ryan Day sure and on the track, you can see the flag -- Bryony Shaw. | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
Hoping for a bit of space. Now with the leaders, Italy going for the | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
drive, Flavia Tartaglini. Nice, straight into the pumping on the | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
other side. Comfortable lead at the moment but with this light and | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
fickle wind anything can happen. Wonderful technique, the way she is | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
fanning the sale on every wave. What a feeling that must be. | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
At this point you are going to give it everything, this is the second | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
race today and we have one more to go and give the priest stays like it | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
is, they will certainly be tired at the end of the day -- the breeze. | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
Maybe she is looking to conserve a bit of energy for the third race. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
She has a nice margin and just as to avoid mistakes. Russia are close | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
behind the Italian. They will go around the fifth mark and then a | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
short dogleg to the finish. Putin of Russia in second place at the | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
moment. -- Elfutina of Russia. I was told to watch out for this girl. I | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
can see why. What a performance from the 19-year-old. I'm glad I was not | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
sailing against her in the youth championship! It looks hard enough | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
in the Olympics. And it was not that long ago when she won the youth | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
Championships and now she is in second on the waters in Rio. Out in | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
the lead, the Italian, Flavia Tartaglini. I can tell you that | :16:34. | :16:43. | |
Bryony is on a bit of a charge. She took time out of the leaders on the | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
last leg and is now up to 13th place. Bryony Shaw back in 13th | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
place but out in the league it is Tartaglini of Italy on the final | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
reach to the finish -- in the lead. A superb performance. Big smiles | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
from the Italian and a quick look behind to see who is there but there | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
is nothing but clear water between her and second place. The finish | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
line comes into view and Flavia Tartaglini wins the race here in | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
Rio. A fantastic performance and rightly proud, two wins for the | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
Italians today. Second-place coming to the finish line. Elfutina of | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
Russia, the youngest windsurfer out on the course. That will move her | :17:42. | :17:55. | |
into second overall. And then De Geus of the Netherlands comes over. | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
Israel crossing the line in fourth. And in fifth place from sixth place | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
we have the Spanish sailor, Alabau, the gold medallist from London. I | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
think Charline Picon just got in front of the Spanish sailor. China | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
through and then Estonia. Charline Picon definitely finished and I | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
think she had a better result than we thought in the first race. Her | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
petition tracker is clearly not working. We will have to take a look | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
at the official results -- position tracker. That will affect the | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
overall standings. Finland crossing the line and now Mexico. Thailand | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
and Poland, very close as we cross the line. Now the Brazilian, | :18:53. | :19:04. | |
Freitas, 26 years of age. Capsized at the start line but getting back | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
into the race. Coming into the view, Bryony Shaw of Great Britain. Not | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
quite making it into the front runners here in the women's | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
windsurfing but pushed hard to recover well in this race and she is | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
still keeping her hopes alive. Bryony Shaw in 14th in that race, | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
she has another coming up later this afternoon but we are going back to | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Shirley Robertson because she was telling us about the wonderful | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
position Nick Dempsey found himself in. Can you bring us up to date? I | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
know it is difficult to cover but how is he doing? He is on fire! They | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
have had two races so far, he was first in the first race and fourth | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
in the second and I can't tell you how hard that is to do in this venue | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
with so much going on. A great couple of days. He has one more race | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
left today. Thank you very much. We will go back to beat sailing | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
throughout the day. Let me tell you how things work if you are tuning | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
into the first time. We had two channels showing you as much as we | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
here on BBC Four until 2am and on BBC One go until 4am. We are on | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
Copacabana beach with our shower in the background and this is one of | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
the four main venues for these Rio Games and that includes the Lagoa | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
Stadium where the rowing takes place. That is one area. You also | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
have the Deodoro Stadium where we have at the rugby sevens and the | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
modern pentathlon will be there. That is about 15 miles from here on | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
the coast. We also have the Maracana which is about six miles north of us | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
here which was where the opening ceremony was and the closing | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
ceremony will be the and the men's and women's gold medal football | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
matches. The fourth and most important where the vast majority of | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
the sport is taking place it at the Olympic Park. We have diving, | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
swimming, the velodrome and gymnastics and also that is where | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
the tennis is and that is where we will take you next. We told you that | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
Johanna Konta was ticking on Svetlana Kuznetsova. She was one set | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
down and we will join it in the second set -- taking on. | :21:37. | :21:49. | |
Both players have engineered four breaks of each other's serve so we | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
are in parity in that regard but of course Kuznetsova has taken that | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
opening set. Can Johanna Konta snatch the second and treat us to a | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
decider? One hour and 12 played. It has been symptomatically this year, | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
she has been responding so positively to adversity, showing a | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
lot of character here. But get braced for a backlash because | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
Kuznetsova is very adept at coming back. | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
Well taken. Fortunately, the sun was behind her eyeline then. | :22:36. | :23:21. | |
I always anticipate that this should provide some tennis Theatre. I would | :23:22. | :23:31. | |
love to see it go the distance. Good play, using the court very | :23:32. | :23:55. | |
effectively, Joe Konta, and consistently, more importantly. -- | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
Jo Konta. Telling return from the glum faced | :24:03. | :24:42. | |
Kuznetsova. She really hasn't managed to get her way in the last | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
few games at all. Konta with another couple of points for a 5-2 lead. | :24:49. | :25:43. | |
She has an ever menacing presence in this set, Kuznetsova. Konta, to | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
stand a chance of levelling the match, it is right here and right | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
now and she has to get the upper hand and hold on. The Russian is so | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
adept and tidy from the back of the court normally. Just having a bit of | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
a wobble but you can feel her eating her way back into this. -- eeking. | :26:07. | :26:21. | |
That is a poor drop shot, and you choose a drop shot over that kind of | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
all it is always dangerous. It will bounce up as a consequence also that | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
was easy pickings for the Russian. Pegged back to deuce having | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
squandered a few game point opportunities. Can Jo Konta land a | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
telling first serve here? Didn't miss by much, just eased out | :26:40. | :27:25. | |
by clipping the net cord en route. Konta, who suddenly looks on the | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
brink, has another game point opportunity here to extend her lead. | :27:32. | :28:20. | |
Perilously close to the net on a number of occasions. She doesn't | :28:21. | :28:27. | |
agree with that, saying she didn't hear anything. Come on, umpire! | :28:28. | :28:46. | |
Again, far too high from Konta. Back to deuce we go in this nervy | :28:47. | :29:01. | |
nailbiter from the British perspective. It was a nervous choice | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
from Konta who seemed a little lost and Svetlana is very quick up to | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
balls like that. Well, it has felt like a bit of a | :29:11. | :29:50. | |
wispy lead and now Kuznetsova has a break point opportunity. | :29:51. | :30:25. | |
A collective gasp around Court One here heart in mouth moment for the | :30:26. | :30:36. | |
guys courtside. Looking twitchy as well. Kuznetsova desperate to get | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
her teeth back into this set. There have been some strange | :30:40. | :31:05. | |
desperate choices. The match is going through a lull, they are | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
anxious and want to do whatever they can to get points going their way | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
and sometimes it leads to strange decision making under pressure. | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
Another break point for Kuznetsova here. | :31:16. | :31:27. | |
She is not even going to challenge that, Kuznetsova delighted, she | :31:28. | :31:34. | |
rakes that, very much into this second set. -- she break back. Just | :31:35. | :31:44. | |
as well the lights are on so that we can see clearly. Kuznetsova is back | :31:45. | :31:58. | |
into this. There are competing across five disciplines. Men's | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
Singles, Women's Singles, doubles and the Mixed Doubles. Only 16 pairs | :32:03. | :32:11. | |
in the mixed drawer. Andy Murray and Johanna Konta, I am pretty sure | :32:12. | :32:18. | |
we'll play together. Pain. Kill me, that tad too says on the inside of | :32:19. | :32:24. | |
her arm -- pain does not kill me, the tad too says on the inside of | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
her arm. -- tattoo. Kuznetsova works hard. | :32:28. | :32:44. | |
She does a lot of drills in Spain and she will just run all day in the | :32:45. | :32:53. | |
name of getting herself into really good shape. She is a great athlete | :32:54. | :32:58. | |
and the whole family are had agreed athletes. Her father is the renowned | :32:59. | :33:07. | |
cycling coach, Alexander, her mother is six times world champion and her | :33:08. | :33:14. | |
brother is a silver medallist from Atlanta's 1996. She has got the | :33:15. | :33:22. | |
barrels going in each leg, laden with muscle and strength and it is | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
difficult to knock off balance. Holes of the new balls to Johanna | :33:27. | :33:28. | |
Konta. -- holes up. Three two she serves but leads a | :33:29. | :33:36. | |
set. -- four. Well in a little nutshell, you have | :33:37. | :34:45. | |
the harder drives from Konta which occasionally clip the net and then | :34:46. | :34:51. | |
the more rainbow like to reject tree from Svetlana Kuznetsova whose three | :34:52. | :34:56. | |
out most of this match has been that little bit more consistent. It has | :34:57. | :35:01. | |
served her very well -- should Jack tree. Here she is, reducing the | :35:02. | :35:05. | |
deficit in this second set. Took a risk their and it does not | :35:06. | :35:22. | |
pay off. We have seen very little reward from down the line at unity | :35:23. | :35:34. | |
on this one. -- there. The ball sets and checks up high. Also the fact | :35:35. | :35:43. | |
that you're going across the high part of the net, the odds are facing | :35:44. | :35:50. | |
-- favouring the crosscourt. And what Johanna Konta is grappling | :35:51. | :36:21. | |
with is the fact that she has had her career worst year, her maiden | :36:22. | :36:28. | |
title on the tour in a Premier five event. Stamford classic, through | :36:29. | :36:36. | |
playing front foot, she is an aggressor, she likes to go after the | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
play of this Court service demands that you hold back a little and make | :36:41. | :36:47. | |
balls, because Kuznetsova levels up because she is playing the | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
percentages better and that favours this whole situation. We are going | :36:52. | :37:00. | |
to leave it there aren't tech things up up. Johanna Konta is 5-4 up. If | :37:01. | :37:09. | |
she can break her here, it will go into a deciding set. We will rejoin | :37:10. | :37:16. | |
the slide. We will go back to Court Number One and our commentators. A | :37:17. | :37:22. | |
little sign-ups is, Johanna Konta has been wrestling with Svetlana | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
Kuznetsova, Kuznetsova seeded eighth in this one, Konta is tenth, both | :37:26. | :37:32. | |
top 15 players grappling with each other, they have never met before. | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
Very tricky match for the British number one. Kuznetsova holes on to | :37:37. | :37:44. | |
love on her own delivery and levels up on five games all, taking the | :37:45. | :37:51. | |
opening set 6-3 after 38 minutes on this gorgeous day. 26 degrees. 5000 | :37:52. | :38:00. | |
seats here. I am delighted to have you here. Johanna Konta, she was | :38:01. | :38:07. | |
trailing by a set but she served at 4-2. She was denied, we are a lot | :38:08. | :38:15. | |
then at five games all. -- we are locked in. The crowd lusting after | :38:16. | :38:24. | |
more in this gorgeous cacophony of colour on show Court One. It has | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
been a watchable match, but in a nutshell, Johanna Konta favouring | :38:31. | :38:35. | |
the aggressive passages of play, playing with piercing little heavy | :38:36. | :38:41. | |
shots, Kuznetsova with the more rainbow arc is a higher percentage, | :38:42. | :38:47. | |
more secured. Konta, it is all a little bit up and down and it has | :38:48. | :38:55. | |
been a nervous nail-biting match for all British bands. That is | :38:56. | :39:02. | |
synonymous with what we have seen a lot, a few too many unforced errors, | :39:03. | :39:09. | |
she has been a bit more frugal in that regard of late. There have been | :39:10. | :39:19. | |
so many spills. 16 from Kuznetsova. Hard to hit winners on this slow and | :39:20. | :39:25. | |
hard court. Deadlock on the scoreboard, second set, which way | :39:26. | :39:26. | |
will it swing? Getting a little frustrated, you can | :39:27. | :39:47. | |
sense it. She has been really wrestling with herself today, | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
Johanna Konta, nothing has come easy, normally hits about seven aces | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
per batch but none today. Sorry, it was two -- match. Kuznetsova has got | :39:57. | :40:01. | |
three. Kuznetsova understands percentage | :40:02. | :40:14. | |
tennis and spent a lot of her time growing up on the clay of Spanish | :40:15. | :40:26. | |
courts. Hails from Russia of course, born in St Petersburg and reside in | :40:27. | :40:33. | |
Dubai and Monte Carlo. 20 million in the bank from career prize earnings. | :40:34. | :40:56. | |
Two she is calling on the right baseline. -- UMPIRE:. The ball is | :40:57. | :41:09. | |
out. Gestured by someone in the crowd, it was well out. UMPIRE: | :41:10. | :41:19. | |
Konta has one challenge remaining. So, this spells danger for the | :41:20. | :41:26. | |
British number one. Two more break point opportunities for Kuznetsova. | :41:27. | :41:33. | |
She is five from nine on conversions. | :41:34. | :41:43. | |
She has landed 62% first serves in but the majority of them have been | :41:44. | :41:59. | |
returned by this lady, who is very strong in that apartment. -- | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
department. Johanna Konta will be delighted with | :42:05. | :42:12. | |
that rare point. She has succumbed five times on her | :42:13. | :42:26. | |
own delivery. That was all match. She is a giant forced in the women's | :42:27. | :42:52. | |
game, the Russian. Twice a Grand Slam winner, US Open 2004 and French | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
Open 2009, twice a Grand Slam finalist as well. Brilliance from | :42:59. | :43:01. | |
Konta! Timely as well. Three points in a row for the | :43:02. | :43:14. | |
aggressive courageous British contender. Look at that, did end | :43:15. | :43:23. | |
range control, great dynamics, using the opposite arm for balance and | :43:24. | :43:25. | |
then pushes back into the court, just in case, with that aggressive | :43:26. | :43:27. | |
cross over stamp. Konta delighted. Lets out a roar of | :43:28. | :44:19. | |
approval. She is marginally in the lead here in this second set. It has | :44:20. | :44:25. | |
been a really watchable encounter in the second set, the first was a | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
little one-sided, multiple breaks of serve but this second set has been a | :44:31. | :44:39. | |
really nervous nailbiter. Had to fend off a couple of break points | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
opportunities and serve in the game to hold on. This was the brave | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
forehand that she's like down the line, extending her hand through the | :44:48. | :44:50. | |
ball very well. It was ten days ago that Johanna | :44:51. | :45:03. | |
Konta laid to make history, an opportunity to edge her name into | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
the top ten, she was denied at Montreal by the qualifier from | :45:08. | :45:13. | |
raptor slaver. Lost in the quarters but had she won that match, she | :45:14. | :45:20. | |
would have gone into the top ten in the world. -- rattle slaver. | :45:21. | :45:30. | |
That would have been breaking new ground from her. That is an | :45:31. | :45:36. | |
illustrious group of players, top ten. She is still the first British | :45:37. | :45:44. | |
woman ranked inside the top ten and 1984. It is her debut in the Olympic | :45:45. | :45:50. | |
Games, 28 wins and only 16 losses this year. | :45:51. | :45:58. | |
Little between these two in ranking. Kuznetsova is ranked tenth in the | :45:59. | :46:10. | |
world and Konta is 13th. And it has been a really tight match. | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
Kuznetsova serving to hold on and learn herself an opportunity to play | :46:16. | :46:22. | |
a tie-break here. Looking for a place in the quarterfinals. | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
Thunderous from Konta! She has chanced her arm a lot going down the | :46:28. | :46:39. | |
line. There has been a lot of marginal errors, just spilling out | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
by little increments but that one found its target. | :46:44. | :47:05. | |
The umpire has been very good today, the young Australian. | :47:06. | :47:14. | |
Kuznetsova find the line. It is tense out here, which makes it even | :47:15. | :47:28. | |
more watchable. Look at this. Plumb on the line. Konta can't believe it. | :47:29. | :47:58. | |
Fourth double fault from Kuznetsova. Normally pretty tidy but she is | :47:59. | :48:13. | |
getting irritated. Jo Konta is to point away from levelling this | :48:14. | :48:15. | |
match. -- two points. Well played, very brave from | :48:16. | :48:44. | |
Kuznetsova. It was a terrific return from Jo Konta, the ball came up high | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
and she looped it back commendably but to no avail in the end is the | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
Russia stayed on the front foot and took the point -- the Russian. | :48:55. | :49:30. | |
She has had so little tangible reward, Jo Konta, from when she has | :49:31. | :49:37. | |
really gone after the ball. She has been defiant throughout has | :49:38. | :50:27. | |
the Russian, Kuznetsova, resilient in the defence of her court. They | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
have been a few phases when she has been a bit more errant than others, | :50:32. | :50:35. | |
as there has been with Jo Konta of course but this is now a critical | :50:36. | :50:41. | |
juncture. Good serve from Kuznetsova. It has served her well, | :50:42. | :50:47. | |
that one also and it has tended to induce a little panic in the mind of | :50:48. | :50:54. | |
the British number one who had a bit of a slap because the court position | :50:55. | :51:01. | |
was so wide. Game point to take us to a tie-break. | :51:02. | :51:19. | |
Oh! Well played! She has had some horror drop shots in this match but | :51:20. | :51:34. | |
that was timely. Look at this off a high oncoming ball, she gripped | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
shifted a bit as she opened the racket face and it was perfectly | :51:41. | :51:42. | |
weighted. -- grip shifted. She is keeping a dangerous present | :51:43. | :51:52. | |
in this game, Jo Konta. She has done it! How about that! She | :51:53. | :52:17. | |
has tried on multiple occasions with the drop shot before this and had | :52:18. | :52:22. | |
very little success but against the shift of the grip and takes the pace | :52:23. | :52:30. | |
off and that is brave. Kuznetsova has withstood a lot of stern test of | :52:31. | :52:33. | |
character throughout this match will Jo Konta with a set point | :52:34. | :52:36. | |
opportunity on the Russian serve. And the crowd are going to get | :52:37. | :53:15. | |
rewarded in this terrific battle because we are going to be treated | :53:16. | :53:22. | |
to a third and deciding set. Jo Konta snatches the second, 7-5. Game | :53:23. | :53:24. | |
on! Remarkable second set from Johanna | :53:25. | :53:38. | |
Konta. The representative of Great Britain will go into a deciding set | :53:39. | :53:43. | |
against Svetlana Kuznetsova. She looked like she might lose it on | :53:44. | :53:47. | |
several occasions but a brilliant performance from Konta who also goes | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
in the Mixed Doubles with Jamie Murray. That will continue on the | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
BBC website. We will build up not only to some diving where there is a | :53:57. | :54:06. | |
medal chance for Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson but we will have some | :54:07. | :54:09. | |
rugby sevens as well because there were some great matches in the men's | :54:10. | :54:13. | |
game earlier. Australia took the gold medal in the women's event. | :54:14. | :54:20. | |
Great Britain are in a strong group which is very strong. Great Britain | :54:21. | :54:28. | |
beat ten year earlier. But look at that for a surprise in the game | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
between New Zealand and Japan. Japan somehow beat South Africa in the | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
World Cup last year in one of the big upsets of all time. And they | :54:37. | :54:41. | |
produced another one today come this time against the overwhelming | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
favourites, New Zealand, and if you missed it, here is a quick reminder | :54:46. | :54:47. | |
of what happened. New Zealand against Japan, always | :54:48. | :54:55. | |
one of the sites of rugby to see the All Blacks in action. Has that gone | :54:56. | :55:05. | |
wrong? No, it is going to be a try for Goto as Japan take the lead. New | :55:06. | :55:11. | |
Zealand don't look in their stride at the moment. Kaka on the outside. | :55:12. | :55:19. | |
It takes three to put him down but New Zealand are a way. It is a long | :55:20. | :55:26. | |
run in a clean break out and the first score for them by Scott Curry. | :55:27. | :55:32. | |
Sonny Bill is down, that is not good for New Zealand. That is a sad | :55:33. | :55:38. | |
sight, he does not look good. It pops out to Akira Ioane, the power! | :55:39. | :55:52. | |
A penalty to Japan, quickly taken and it is going to be a try for | :55:53. | :56:05. | |
Soejima! Japan are in the lead. That is one of the best kicks I have | :56:06. | :56:12. | |
seen. The chance now, Lewis Ormond, it is out! The whistle goes and | :56:13. | :56:21. | |
Japan have beaten New Zealand! 14-12. | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
An incredible result and we can join John Inverdale because we will be | :56:27. | :56:33. | |
concentrating on rugby for the next few hours with Team GB coming up | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
against Japan and New Zealand against Kenya. And the first day has | :56:38. | :56:39. | |
really delivered so far. Absolutely fantastic. They play a BT | :56:40. | :56:49. | |
before the players come out which is joy is the sound of Samba which is | :56:50. | :56:55. | |
about the joy of playing rugby -- a VT. I think this is the most joyous | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
event here and what a fantastic addition it is. Not so joyful for | :57:00. | :57:05. | |
New Zealand but Japan, in the wake that Bates bucked the 15 aside World | :57:06. | :57:09. | |
Cup into action last year, so they have an put this into like -- in the | :57:10. | :57:18. | |
way that they sparked the 15 aside World Cup into action. Eve | :57:19. | :57:23. | |
is -- Keith Robertson, his son is part of the Great Britain team. We | :57:24. | :57:32. | |
will talk about Mark in a second and about Great Britain being so | :57:33. | :57:37. | |
impressive against Kenya but as a man from the Borders, with seven | :57:38. | :57:41. | |
aside in your DNA, what does it mean to the people of Galashiels and | :57:42. | :57:46. | |
everywhere else for their game to be here on the world stage? To see the | :57:47. | :57:53. | |
seventh game developing like it has done, what we believed was such a | :57:54. | :57:57. | |
brilliant game from the outset, it is fantastic. And to seek such a | :57:58. | :58:03. | |
carnival atmosphere around all of the events worldwide, it is | :58:04. | :58:07. | |
fantastic. We do not have mark with us because he has more important | :58:08. | :58:12. | |
things to do but how proud is he to be part of a Great Britain team | :58:13. | :58:18. | |
given his background? He struggled to keep his emotions in when he | :58:19. | :58:24. | |
phoned to tell us. You can hear in my voice now, just an unbelievable | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
occasion for the family, for Melrose as a town, to have the first | :58:29. | :58:32. | |
Scottish rugby player in a Great Britain team in an Olympic | :58:33. | :58:36. | |
tournament. To have the first Olympian coming from Melrose is | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
incredible. They were very impressive this morning. They were. | :58:40. | :58:44. | |
We were concerned in the one ups that they were playing as | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
individuals but Simon Amor has pulled them together and they are | :58:49. | :58:50. | |
playing a good brand and spreading the ball around. They stretched | :58:51. | :58:55. | |
Kenya which they had to do because they are very physical. They are | :58:56. | :59:00. | |
tough to beat. Much easier than what I thought but they played very well. | :59:01. | :59:05. | |
It will be fascinating to see how Japan get on second time around | :59:06. | :59:09. | |
having beaten the All Blacks. Lovely to see you, go and enjoy an amazing | :59:10. | :59:15. | |
family experience. Thank you. One thing to tell you, we mentioned | :59:16. | :59:19. | |
Sonny Bill Williams earlier, he's out the Olympics with an Achilles | :59:20. | :59:23. | |
injury which is a major blow to the All Blacks and it will be | :59:24. | :59:26. | |
fascinating to how they regroup as a consequence. The Great Britain match | :59:27. | :59:36. | |
against Japan with live on BBC for later this evening. | :59:37. | :59:40. | |
That is at 9pm and we will also have New Zealand against Kenya at 9:30pm. | :59:41. | :59:49. | |
This is what is happening on BBC One at the moment with the women's team | :59:50. | :59:53. | |
gymnastics. We saw Team GB finishing fourth in the men yesterday. Johanna | :59:54. | :00:02. | |
Konta, you can watch her match against Svetlana Kuznetsova, the | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
deciding set come on the website and the reason we had to leave it is | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
because it is time to go diving. Yesterday we had Tom Daley and | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Daniel Goodfellow taking the bronze so how will the niqabs and Lois | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
Toulson get on? Bob Ballard and Leon Taylor are your commentators. | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
Good afternoon. With all the excitement with the men yesterday, | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
can be magic? Daniel Goodfellow and Tom Daley went last in the pecking | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
order. We have eight peers as yesterday. By the Romans with the | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
women. The first two macaroons are the | :00:55. | :01:08. | |
requireds. The USA kicking us off, diving into | :01:09. | :01:27. | |
the green pond. I am not sure what happened overnight but we are | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
looking at a very green diving pool. It is the reverse died in the pike | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
position. The American pair just making a slight error on the | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
take-off, there is a bicycle sized gap in between them. The judges will | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
pick -- peena lies that. It will be around eight or 8.5. Other than | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
that, the synchronisation is very good. 8.5 counts. The other -- you | :01:50. | :02:02. | |
multiply it by the degree of difficulty matters what gives you | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
48.6. I will try to explain the scoring, I know it is complicated. I | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
know you will be mathematically sound. | :02:16. | :02:37. | |
This is the Mexican pair. The synchronisation from the Mexican | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
peril was superior to the Americans who opened up. Perfectly timed | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
take-off. Correct distances from the diving board. Hitting the water at | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
the same time. Synchronisation is bang on. I would not be surprised if | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
we saw 1990.5 from a brief judge. The execution was much of a | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
Execution marks will appear on the left-hand side of your screen. The | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
ones that do not have a line through them will carry. Synchronisation is | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
on the right of your screen. They hit the ceiling of 50.4. If they hit | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
50 on the screen who know they have done well. The big cheer to lead the | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
arrival of Oliveira will and Giovanna for Brazil. | :03:42. | :03:56. | |
It will be a back dive with panic. -- with pike. | :03:57. | :04:13. | |
Pretty good start from the whole nation paving. Working hard to | :04:14. | :04:28. | |
prepare for these Olympic Games. This is just for the commentators | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
and the audience at home so we get to see what goes on, the judge does | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
not get to see it. They hit the water at the same time to that part | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
of the surprises was good. They were off time with other things. The | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
synchronisation will be around 7.5. That is a fair mark for the | :04:48. | :04:57. | |
Brazilian player. They have the lowest marks, not surprisingly. We | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
anticipated they would. We are going from one end of the skill to the | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
other end. The defending champions, but not the same pairing as the last | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
time. It is Chen Ruo Lin and Liu Hui Xia | :05:13. | :05:34. | |
this time. Pick the bones out of that one. From where I am sitting, I | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
am right in line with the diving boards. I could not see any | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
faltering at all from the synchronisation point of view. This | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
was a mirror image. Cascading down together. This is going to be at | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
least 99.5s for execution and for execution. -- and synchronisation. | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
This is going to get close to 54. Last year's world champions. Chen | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
Ruo Lin and Liu Hui Xia. They like it but how much do the judges like | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
it? They like it a lot, that is the answer. It is nearly 56. The maximum | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
you can get only 2.0 dive is 16 points. -- 60. | :06:27. | :06:37. | |
The Mexicans had the biggest I've. -- biggest dive. Let us move on to | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
the Malaysians. They are to be reckoned with. | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
Exquisite dive. They won a silver medal at this very pool in February | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
at the world diving cup. Earning a spot by rights at the Olympic Games. | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
You stand on the edge of the diving board but jump away and spin | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
backwards. Not as nice as the Chinese pair. It will be over 50 | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
points or it will be very much in the mix. We do not see many people | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
dropping off on making a huge leader Judy on the first two macaroons | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
because the limited of difficulty. -- first two rands. | :07:41. | :08:01. | |
We move a different North Korean hearing from last year. We have two | :08:02. | :08:13. | |
Kims this time for North Korea. They are going to do the back dive that | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
with pike. They were third at the world Championships last year. It | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
looks pretty good to me. I have not seen most of them in training. I am | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
flying blind a little bit with regards to the form and how they are | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
as a Perth. North Korea, qualified with the bronze at the world | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Championships last year's. They decided to field this pairing of Kim | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
and Kim. Their names are synchronised and the opening round | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
dive isn't so bad. You can see on the replay hitting the water at | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
marginally different times. Getting the feedback from the coaches. Just | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
a law that 50 point mark. In between the Mexicans and the USA at this | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
stage. We welcome to the ten-metre bought the Canadians of Meaghan | :09:05. | :09:16. | |
Benfeito and Roslyn Philly on. The Canadians are very much in full | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
voice here. Next up it will be Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson. The Chinese | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
have got a little bit of the lead early on. This pairing and going to | :09:33. | :09:46. | |
be all guns blazing today. So experience, a World Championship | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
bronze medal back in 2005. They have been top of this event ever since. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
Getting a medal in every major competition including London 2012 | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
will be won a bronze medal in fine fashion. Mental Mac for | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
synchronisation and less than that on the execution. | :10:07. | :10:16. | |
52.8% alongside Malaysia, exactly the same mark as we saw. First of | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
five guys for Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson. Different combination. It | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
used to be easier barrel that took part but she will be in the | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
individual competition. -- Sarah Farren. | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
It is still a work in progress. There are elements that are coming | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
together nicely. Let us see if they can back it up. | :10:56. | :11:16. | |
If you can hear that as clearly as me, that was the magic revealed on | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
how synchronised divers take off at the same time. Ready, one, two, | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
three, goal. They have been working very hard. Lovely opening round | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
dive. Lois Toulson was farther away than Tonia Couch. YouTube and | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
synchronisation. Solid execution, 50 points on the nose, I would guess. | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
As predicted, very much bunched up to - seven, nothing to choose from | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
them. The Chinese have a little bit of a margin over the rest. We are | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
talking about 52, 50 and 40 nine. -- 49. It will be China head by some | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
margin. And then Canada and Malaysia to govern. -- together. | :12:11. | :12:28. | |
Round two and you have just joined us, and are not familiar with | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
diving, the first round in both the men and women ten-metre, it is worth | :12:36. | :12:47. | |
2.0. Six rounds for the men. The weather conditions are very | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
different today from the first two days. We had blazing sunshine will | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
stop the sun is right and faces at the moment as well. It is not | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
affecting the divers. They make to be affected by the green algae in | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
the swimming pool. The blue of the water polo pool and then look at | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
that. Maybe they have covered it to be in keeping with the dressing of | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
the swerving pool, you can see the blue and green. They did not do that | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
on the first two days. I am just kidding. Round two. We start with | :13:21. | :13:32. | |
this relatively new combination of Amelia Cozad and Jessica Parratto | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
for America. The RA work in progress. That is a well executed | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
second round dive from the Americans. It is always tough | :13:43. | :13:55. | |
opening up an American final. This is | :13:56. | :13:55. | |
the back was dive in the pike position. The judges do not get to | :13:56. | :14:05. | |
see the replay. That is just for our enjoyment. I think they have a go | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
there first round dive. They will be just around the 100 points mark. | :14:11. | :14:20. | |
50.4 it is to add to the 48.6 in the opening round. The competition does | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
not really start to involve until we get to round three. The difficulty | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
will go up to the or in the case of Mexico, 3.3. | :14:34. | :14:49. | |
There's a slight difference in what you had seen so far from Paola | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
Espinosa and Alejandra Orozco. Beautifully done. Back in 1.5 | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
somersaults with the half twist. They do the half twist frost and | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
then fall into the pipe shape together. The key is to get that | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
execution to kneel the vertical entry splash was. Or almost splash | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
list. Hit the water at the same time. I think it could be nameds on | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
synchronisation. If you get it slightly wrong it can look... They | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
could go in at different angles and the judges have been quite harsh. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
The judges are the experts. I am just an observer. | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
She is in her fourth Olympic Games, started in Athens, Espinosa, back | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
for another medal to match what she got in London 2012. Now, the | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
Brazilians, they positioned themselves well yesterday. These are | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
the rudimentary dives, relatively straightforward ones for them. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Should not lose too much ground here, Ingrid Oliveira and Giovanna | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Pedroso for Brazil. They will execute a reverse dive with Pike. | :16:19. | :16:29. | |
Welcome you can see the first gaps appearing, the take-off was out of | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
time. It is a race to the water, without any booster rockets, you are | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
not going to catch up when there is a slight difference in take-off. You | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
can see hitting the water out of time, and the judges... They | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
normally penalised it quite heavily. They do take-off marks when they hit | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
the water at different times, they sharpen their pencils and takeaway a | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
lot of marks. Sevens forcing pro? 7.5s. Feeling buoyant with the home | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
support. We call it the plop plop effect. -- for the synchronisation? | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
Not taking off as much as we thought. 45 to add to their 44.4. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
They will not be in the shake-up at the end, but they knew that. The | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
wind begins to whip around the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre new. -- venue. | :17:34. | :17:48. | |
This pair are super solid. A beautiful reverse dive, you can see | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
the difference from the Brazilian pair. In fact, it looks like one | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
diver all the way through. It is as good as a ten for synchronisation | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
for me. The judges... It is a discretion as to whether they think | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
it is or not. 9.5s, there we go. They replicated what they did in the | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
first round, 55.8, matching it in the second round. You can see that | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
chasm opening up between them and the rest. They are on fire, inform, | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
and probably with three more rounds to go, nobody will catch them. In | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
second and third... These two are more than capable of getting the | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
second or third place. Remember, these two from the | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh a couple of years ago. Everybody else | :18:43. | :18:52. | |
pretty much doing the reverse dive in this round, but they are going | :18:53. | :19:02. | |
with a Pike. Holding on with an aggressive take-off, the wind is | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
swelling and there are pigeons flying around. The sun is in my | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
eyes, there are all kinds of things. -- swirling. The diver rule had to | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
concentrate. The Malaysians pair holding it together. Close to the | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
magic 50 points. They could even get more than that? Here they come... | :19:25. | :19:35. | |
52.8 is the total. Henry Blofeld could be going for the | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
buses...? On the North Korean power, last year they won a bronze medal in | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
the championships but it is a different combination this time -- | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
the North Korean pair. Last year it was Kim and Song, this year it is | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
two Kims. 39.80 for their first I've. | :20:05. | :20:13. | |
-- 40 9.80 for their first dive. A superb effort from double Kim. | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
Almost morphing into one diver like their name. The synchronisation was | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
superb. Touching their toes at the same time. Reaching back... And | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
faltering. Beautiful, -- and faltering. It is people getting | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
greener? It is really weird. It is not a problem with an HDTV! Somebody | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
has bought a big TV today, and gone... This TV is terrible, I can't | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
see any thing! Neither can we, it looks strange beneath the water, I | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
hope the underwater camera can cope with it. It might be yellow or | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
orange tomorrow... Second place at the moment, a decent | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
start, a good 52.8 opener for the Canadians. We have seen this a few | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
times in this round, we will see it again shortly from the Brits. | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion are going for their reverse dive. | :21:28. | :21:36. | |
Solid, consistent, very comfortable out there. Just knocking off the | :21:37. | :21:46. | |
first two rounds of dive, you can flex your muscles and get into the | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
competition. So, even better than their opening dive. It is a fine | :21:53. | :22:01. | |
pair of required dives to open up. The Canadians have already medalled | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
in this event, bronze in 2012, can they go better? As the wind begins | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
to swell and swirl. I asked one of the organisers why the pool is | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
green, and he says "I don't know". Nobody is telling us anything on | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
that front! 52.8 for the Canadians. That puts them in joint second at | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
the moment. I say at the moment, the Brits are up next and by now, you | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
have the chance to see exactly how that I've should be executed. | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
Perhaps they could do slightly better? | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
52.40 in their opening dive, we get into the bigger numbers after this. | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
-- 50.4 zero. Second dive from Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson. One, two, | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
three, go... Much better, a beautiful synchronisation! Really | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
classy all the way through, from an execution point of view, both Tonia | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
Couch and Lois Toulson tipping over the vertical. You see the little | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
splash going towards the diving board. Both tipping over a vertical, | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
and execution will probably be around 7.5s and eights for both of | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
them. Synchronisation was beautiful all the way through. They might go | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
8.5s and maybe even nines, if they do, the girls will be over 100 | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
points. Are they? They seem happy, they passed three figures. Very much | :23:36. | :23:47. | |
within the top three. Everybody else is in contention aside from the | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
Brazilians, this is what it was after the two required rounds... | :23:52. | :24:01. | |
Pretty much all seven pairings in line for a medal, and Brazil find | :24:02. | :24:10. | |
themselves about ten points adrift. Just to put it in perspective, all | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
of the gaps there, even between the remainder of the field and the | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
Chinese is very closable. Anything over 70 points is excellent, | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
anything over 80 points is mind blowing the good. With the degree of | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
difficulty, ranging mainly from 3.0, 3.2s, 3.3s, we will see some big | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
scores providing the execution and synchronisation as it comes off as | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
it does in training. Can they do it when it counts? When the pool is | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
lime green, when the sun is setting and the wind is swelling. Let's see | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
what happens? Off go the Americans... The crowd were | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
impressed, I'm not sure many of them have seen diving before, it's | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
impressive when you see optional rounds of dives, it is a 3.0 forward | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
3.5 in pike position. Folding the hips and keeping legs | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
straight. Rotation speeds were pretty much in time. As they come to | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
the end of the diving board, popping up and driving the hips up and over, | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
you can just see on the replay very clearly the and synchronisation. | :25:26. | :25:35. | |
They hit the water at the same time? That does not happen -- | :25:36. | :25:45. | |
un-synchronisation. I'm quite surprised by that. Those marks that | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
don't have a line through them counts towards the total. In that | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
case, 65.70, when multiplied by degree of difficulty by 3.0. The | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
Americans are on 106 to 4.7 at this stage, they would have hoped for | :26:09. | :26:19. | |
more from that died. -- 164.7. Wonderful synchronisation all the | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
way... It is great when you see like-for-like, you can really begin | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
to compare. Are these spin speeds in time? Yes. Do they hit the water at | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
the same time? Yes. Are they the same distance from | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
the diving board? Yes. Execution wise, they both tip over, probably | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
over rotating, they were only get 6.5-7 on execution. BOOING | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
Let's wait for confirmation on the scores, they never appear on the | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
screen until they are confirmed. They are now. 71 points is a good | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
score. The diving experts in the auditorium to -- do not agree. Good | :27:04. | :27:13. | |
enough to put them in the lead for the time being. This is a very | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
intricate dive for these two, isn't it? In pike position and a 1.5 | :27:19. | :27:30. | |
twist, I don't know if it is above their capabilities? We will find | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
out, it is a big tariff for the figures they have in their | :27:36. | :27:44. | |
programme. That's impressive stuff, isn't it? That is much better than | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
their opening two rounds of dives from a synchronisation point of | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
view, world-class. 3.2 degrees of difficulty, 1.5 twists, 2.5 | :27:58. | :28:06. | |
somersaults. While! They are bowling already! BOOING | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
Maybe they can in and can explain exactly how judging works, it can be | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
misleading when you see execution marks as they come up -- booing. | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
They will probably be 7.5s... That is a great dive. Trademarks. That is | :28:22. | :28:29. | |
the expectation of the Brazilian fans, wanting nines and 9.5s, they | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
will not get there with the standard of these divers. They were pushing | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
the boat out on these ones a little and they did very well indeed. | :28:39. | :28:46. | |
Forward 3.5 somersaults for the Chinese pairing, with a pike for the | :28:47. | :28:54. | |
Chinese. Now we are starting to see things hotting up in this very green | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
pool. Everyone asking between my comments has no idea why it is | :29:00. | :29:05. | |
green. -- everyone I am asking. It looks like they are getting out of | :29:06. | :29:10. | |
the sea! A beautiful dive, top notch stuff from Our World champions. | :29:11. | :29:18. | |
Straight up and down, hardly a ripple, close to 80 points, is huge | :29:19. | :29:26. | |
effort on a 3.0. The pool is getting greener, everybody is scratching | :29:27. | :29:28. | |
their heads but the Chinese are rocking it. Someone arriving with a | :29:29. | :29:39. | |
fishnet? Very strange, but as you saw yesterday, with Tom and Stan, | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
the pool did not look in that complexion at all. -- Dan. Today it | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
is looking distinctly green! Nobody can, at the moment, give an | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
explanation as to why that should be. | :29:54. | :29:55. | |
Now we will concentrate on diving for the time being and not be too | :29:56. | :29:57. | |
distracted by the algae! That is a remarkable effort. This is | :29:58. | :30:17. | |
going to be fantastic, we will see like-for-like. The Chinese have set | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
us off and Malaysia are following with their own version of that dive. | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
It is pretty much like for like. Really nice, perfect spin speeds. | :30:28. | :30:32. | |
Same distance from the diving board. They should get nameds for | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
synchronisation. They should be in the mid-70s. The Chinese pair were | :30:37. | :30:44. | |
in the 80s. From an execution point of view, just a little bit of splash | :30:45. | :30:51. | |
is one of them went in. That is a cracking dive. Definitely in the | :30:52. | :30:59. | |
medal contention with that. China are eight points ahead. Mexico are | :31:00. | :31:02. | |
just behind the Malaysians in second place. We expected it would hot up | :31:03. | :31:09. | |
in round three. Everybody is doing pretty much the same dive. | :31:10. | :31:38. | |
Synchronisation was not quite as long as we saw from the Chinese and | :31:39. | :31:44. | |
Malaysians. Different spin speeds and at different distances from the | :31:45. | :31:48. | |
diving board. In my opinion that is not quite as good. The execution is | :31:49. | :31:55. | |
bang on. Look at the differing spin speeds. Different distances from the | :31:56. | :32:02. | |
diving board. The crowd are letting us know they do not like the marks. | :32:03. | :32:09. | |
There are quite a genderless. -- quite generous. It is a generous on | :32:10. | :32:21. | |
the right-hand side of the screen. Different distances and spin speeds. | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
It is a very small difference but this is the Olympic Games. It is a | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
subjective sport and we do not always agree with the marks. It was | :32:33. | :32:44. | |
just half a point. 81 for the Koreans. Note to the forward 3.5 | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
from the Canadians. Let us see if they can match it. I think they can | :32:50. | :32:55. | |
match it. In my opinion, synchronisation was better than the | :32:56. | :33:00. | |
North Koreans. The execution not quite as good. The synchronisation | :33:01. | :33:10. | |
has got nameds written all over it. The spin speed was the same for the | :33:11. | :33:15. | |
first 2.5 somersaults. The judges do not get to see the replays. Look at | :33:16. | :33:23. | |
it in slow motion, you can see the differences appealing. The same | :33:24. | :33:28. | |
difference from the diving board the water at the same time. Just a | :33:29. | :33:35. | |
little bit scruffy on the execution. It was halfway mark. Daschle was | :33:36. | :33:45. | |
half a mark. If it is as tight as we expected to be, that could be all | :33:46. | :33:52. | |
the difference. It needs to be good. This diet has been done by pretty | :33:53. | :33:57. | |
much every peer in round three. -- this dive. | :33:58. | :34:05. | |
It would be nice if these two could get into the 80s. If they do, they | :34:06. | :34:14. | |
will be touching on the top two. Which is currently China and North | :34:15. | :34:19. | |
Korea. Here comes Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson. Last round of -- last | :34:20. | :34:28. | |
dive of round three. It is a forward 3.5 somersaults with pike. Wonderful | :34:29. | :34:41. | |
dive. The execution is so important. We are looking for a splash list | :34:42. | :34:46. | |
entry. They have both delivered. The girls are bang on the money. It is | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
good from entry into the water at the same time. Just margin of eight | :34:52. | :34:58. | |
different on distances. The Lois Toulson is just slightly farther | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
away from the diving board. That should be in the mid-70s at least | :35:02. | :35:07. | |
and that'll keep them in contention. 75.6 is the mark for Tonia Couch and | :35:08. | :35:15. | |
Lois Toulson. It would now appear on your screen. They are inside of the | :35:16. | :35:24. | |
top three. They are in fifth position. -- insight of. We enter | :35:25. | :35:34. | |
the last two rounds. They will be questions about the hot tub. End of | :35:35. | :35:46. | |
round three. China then North Korea and Malaysia. The gap between three | :35:47. | :35:49. | |
and five is six points at the moment. The hot tub that I often get | :35:50. | :36:02. | |
asked questions about. We go back right on cue. You can see the | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
Chinese pair having a rest. The reason that the divers can choose to | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
go into a hardtop is to keep the muscles warm to stop it is quite | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
called on the poolside. Diving takes place one at a time. When you are | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
diving in training you are constantly in the water. By using | :36:21. | :36:27. | |
the showers like some divers like to use the Jacuzzi, you keep your | :36:28. | :36:30. | |
muscles warm and you keep yourself prepared and ready physically. This | :36:31. | :36:36. | |
competition will last for just over one hour. The ladies justify dies | :36:37. | :36:45. | |
each. -- the ladies just do buy backs each. | :36:46. | :37:02. | |
We will concentrate on the diving. In Ward 3.5 somersaults with tuck | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
this time for the USA. -- Ian Ward. Faltering all the way through. It | :37:08. | :37:22. | |
started to go wrong ever so slightly on the take-off. One driver was | :37:23. | :37:33. | |
using the trapdoor. The partner over rotates. The first marks you see on | :37:34. | :37:39. | |
the scheme and we are around five. Massive over rotation by Jennifer on | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
the right of the screen. She froze up lots of splash. The | :37:44. | :37:47. | |
synchronisation marks will be mediocre at the best. | :37:48. | :38:09. | |
We are waiting for a diver to come out like a creature from the blue | :38:10. | :38:16. | |
Lagoon. I think I can see some slippery salmon. Somebody had to | :38:17. | :38:25. | |
send me a picture of finding Nemo. Onto the Mexicans. We're getting | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
distracted. The biggest dive of the day for the Mexicans. It is | :38:31. | :38:38. | |
high-risk and it is not paid off for them. That is unfortunate. 3.3 of | :38:39. | :38:45. | |
difficulty. What's going on. What's that can go wrong. The overhead shot | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
does not give us the view that the judges will see. Standing right on | :38:51. | :39:01. | |
the corner of the board, isn't she? Execution will let them down. The | :39:02. | :39:09. | |
divers going short of vertical. Paola Espinosa making a mistake | :39:10. | :39:17. | |
which you do not normally see. The door is opening here. The door is | :39:18. | :39:28. | |
opening. Is it a green door? There was another theory going around that | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
because it is Brazilian colours. That is why the swimming pool is | :39:32. | :39:38. | |
green. That is what I said. Nobody seems to know if it is the case. It | :39:39. | :39:50. | |
is just odd. It is a different colour to the sky so it is actually | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
perfect on the diving point of view. I have got a good idea. In Ward 3.5 | :39:56. | :40:05. | |
with tuck. It is cheaper to difficulty. | :40:06. | :40:26. | |
I am letting the pictures do the talking. It is only fives on | :40:27. | :40:35. | |
synchronisation. One driver over rotated. No execution marks. The | :40:36. | :40:43. | |
crowd will do as they normally do. Those marks a very fair if not a | :40:44. | :40:54. | |
genderless. -- generous. You think it looks easy but it is not. The | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
Brazilian paper just outside the top 12 in the world. -- Brazilian pair. | :41:01. | :41:06. | |
It shows you how difficult it is to get these dies in sync and executed | :41:07. | :41:08. | |
well. We get onto the inward 3.5 from the | :41:09. | :41:19. | |
Chinese. It is compare and contrast. It is a | :41:20. | :41:34. | |
brilliant effort from the Chinese pair who are about to shut the front | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
door and lead everyone else but Heinz. In Ward 3.5. Spin speeds | :41:39. | :41:47. | |
identical. Both divers over rotating. | :41:48. | :42:05. | |
You will probably see nameds on synchronisation. Look of -- look at | :42:06. | :42:11. | |
the tape on her neck, holding everything in place. This is the | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
least impressive so far in terms of their marks. They still have got a | :42:17. | :42:24. | |
big lead over everyone else. Mexico and USA in two and three. Still four | :42:25. | :42:31. | |
peers to go. We move on to the Malaysians. They have a strong | :42:32. | :42:38. | |
finish to the programmes will expect them to make a move into the top | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
three. There are food after round three. They will consolidate again | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
with the inward 3.5. They are working together | :42:46. | :43:19. | |
beautifully. That is just a fraction off but pretty much there or | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
thereabouts. That is like -- like-for-like with the Chinese pair. | :43:25. | :43:34. | |
The Chinese got 75. That is probably better from you. High fives from the | :43:35. | :43:40. | |
coaches, they agree, what's to celebrate. They are only five points | :43:41. | :43:51. | |
by the Chinese with one round to go. There's still the potential for an | :43:52. | :44:01. | |
upset. They are going for the same dive. Only five points between them. | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
It is interesting pressure being put on the Chinese now. And now we watch | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
North Korea with their inward 3.5. They are in second place after round | :44:13. | :44:18. | |
three. Different combination got the bronze last year. | :44:19. | :44:25. | |
Solid. A diver closest to me, she drilled hard drive. Execution was | :44:26. | :44:38. | |
going to be into the nameds at very least. -- the nines. Execution will | :44:39. | :44:56. | |
be lower. Synchronisation is good. Eight and 8.5. North Korea very much | :44:57. | :45:07. | |
in the medal max. Some 25, 79 and 70 six. That is very tidy. Malaysia | :45:08. | :45:24. | |
have moved above North Korea. It is tight in the top three. If they get | :45:25. | :45:39. | |
a nine across the board with Meaghan Benfeito and was in the Lyon, they | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
will go into first place. It is still some room to renew for four | :45:44. | :45:53. | |
Canada. -- room to manoeuvre. That is the aborted dive. I have seen | :45:54. | :45:59. | |
them mail this and I have seen them falter, this is somewhere in | :46:00. | :46:05. | |
between. The Olympic rings on her right foot. Back 3.5 somersaults in | :46:06. | :46:11. | |
the tuck position. It is good but will it be good enough? She does a | :46:12. | :46:20. | |
magical save, closest to us. She arches through the water. Get import | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
of the need to stay on the cusp. . This is super close. | :46:26. | :46:36. | |
Hopefully, she will be joined by Lois Toulson and Tonia Couch of | :46:37. | :46:43. | |
Great Britain. We've seen the Brazilians do it already and plenty | :46:44. | :46:46. | |
will be doing it in round five, the USA and China will do it, Malaysia, | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
North Korea and Canada are all doing this dive in round five. But Great | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
Britain have decided to go with it in round four. | :46:57. | :47:05. | |
A bit of detail behind the back, 2.5 somersaults, 1.5 twist. Now, nines | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
for Great Britain would put them in second place. | :47:11. | :47:16. | |
Can they get close to that? Close to 80 points? If they can, they are up | :47:17. | :47:32. | |
there. One, two, three, go... Yes! Come on, girls! That's it, just when | :47:33. | :47:40. | |
the pressure is starting to mount... Beautiful dive, 1.5 twists. Into the | :47:41. | :47:47. | |
pike shape. Reaching into the water, their synchronisation is excellent. | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
This will get high 70s, I hope over 80 points... Well done Tonya and | :47:53. | :47:59. | |
Lois, you are very much in the mix. Let's see what the scoreboard is | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
going to be like... Beautiful diving. Terrific died from our | :48:05. | :48:12. | |
girls. This is ridiculous, we will see the scores. | :48:13. | :48:16. | |
Brilliant, right on the cusp of 80. -- a brilliant dive. | :48:17. | :48:22. | |
They are into fourth place, but it is so tight. They are looking for | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
three medals going in round five. The final round for the women coming | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
up next... The crowd getting writing behind this. Let's see where we | :48:32. | :48:37. | |
stand. -- right in behind this. | :48:38. | :48:43. | |
China are five points clear at the top. | :48:44. | :48:52. | |
All very tight, and at the moment, China have not claimed the gold | :48:53. | :49:02. | |
medal. It is all to play for. I don't know what to suggest. Get on | :49:03. | :49:09. | |
the edge of your seats. This is going to be mega close... And gold | :49:10. | :49:19. | |
is not... Well... Some strange noises! Don't go and make a cup of | :49:20. | :49:24. | |
tea. Stay where you are. We've had word that Rio 2016 could make an | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
official statement about the pool. So everyone here is tight-lipped, we | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
will wait and see why it is going super green. It has certainly got | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
our attention as we move into the final round. Round five of five... | :49:40. | :49:45. | |
It is a dive that five pairs will be doing. The USA, neither of them are | :49:46. | :49:52. | |
really in the mix, but they finish with a back 2.5 with 1.5 twist pro | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
Mac. The Americans have made a run for the finish line too late. -- | :49:58. | :50:04. | |
twists. It's left this pairing slightly out of the running. This is | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
a top-notch effort on their final round dies, you will see many of the | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
girls performing best and choosing the twist element here. 1.5 twists, | :50:14. | :50:21. | |
2.5 somersaults. Too little, too late. No medals for the USA in this | :50:22. | :50:30. | |
contest. They are a pair in transition, working through, HP and | :50:31. | :50:36. | |
put together recently, -- they have been put together recently. | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
This is the mark to beat for everyone else, as we move on. That | :50:40. | :50:46. | |
dive will be replicated by China, Malaysia and North Korea and Canada. | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
Mexico, Brazil and Great Britain are doing some things slightly | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
different. In the case of the Mexicans, it is an inward 3.5 | :50:57. | :51:03. | |
somersault with tuck at the moment. They are two, three, two. Not likely | :51:04. | :51:13. | |
to figure. Because of the partially dropped round for dive. Agreed, our | :51:14. | :51:23. | |
silver medallists from 2012. They will not be. Therefore the | :51:24. | :51:28. | |
Olympics but it is looking like no medal to match what she did four | :51:29. | :51:35. | |
years ago. They will want to finish off with the inward 3.5 to the best | :51:36. | :51:41. | |
of their ability. See how far up the standings they can get after this... | :51:42. | :51:47. | |
A good finish. But too many points to make up. | :51:48. | :51:52. | |
20 of the plank, fighting for the medals. A dive like that you | :51:53. | :51:58. | |
finished... That than average but it would have needed to be world | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
beating to get anywhere back in contention. | :52:03. | :52:09. | |
They would be towards the bottom end of the pack but they are in the | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
Olympic final. Nothing to be taken away from the pairs out here today. | :52:14. | :52:20. | |
This pair will not be on the podium. It is past the 300 mark with that, | :52:21. | :52:27. | |
getting confirmation now... 72 exactly for Paola Espinosa and | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
Alejandra Orozco. They will have a lead for a few moments here. That is | :52:32. | :52:39. | |
where they finish now. Usurping the USA by a little, no medal today. The | :52:40. | :52:48. | |
crowd is getting ready to applaud, we are applauding and hoping that | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
the judges will be kind and behave Fabia Blake to the Brazilian pair -- | :52:54. | :52:59. | |
favourably. It is a big dive for them, a 3.2, | :53:00. | :53:04. | |
that went OK. In round three, they could finish. | :53:05. | :53:12. | |
It's Ingrid Oliveira and Giovanna Pedroso, we would like to see you | :53:13. | :53:23. | |
then get close to the 300 mark. It is definitely passable! It is | :53:24. | :53:26. | |
probably their favourites dive, and that is why they've left it to the | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
end, that is often what happens in synchronised diving, or diving in | :53:32. | :53:36. | |
general, leave your potentially best died until last. The Brazilian pair | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
finish in style, -- dies. It is a mixed bag, it will be 7.5s. | :53:42. | :53:52. | |
The crowd will probably be booing. The girls have done a great job | :53:53. | :53:57. | |
today, not as far behind as some would have predicted. The men did | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
likewise, a good effort by the men's ten metre. A good effort from Ingrid | :54:02. | :54:08. | |
Oliveira and Giovanna Pedroso, they will probably be bottom of the | :54:09. | :54:12. | |
standings but not too far adrift. The gloves come off, China, | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
Malaysia, North Korea, Canada and Great Britain are all slogging it | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
out for these medals. And they are all doing same tariff dives. At 3.2. | :54:22. | :54:32. | |
Chen Ruo Lin and Liu Hui Xia now, it is cliche but true. They throw down | :54:33. | :54:37. | |
a gauntlet as they can do it dives and get big marks that everyone else | :54:38. | :54:44. | |
has to follow suit. -- big dives. Absolutely faultless! I will go out | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
on a limb and say... That is a gold medal for China. There are often | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
questioned saying, can you put pressure on these athletes, will | :54:55. | :55:00. | |
they falter? The answer? No. On this occasion, and faltering, | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
unflappable, a whiz popper of a dive, to finish for the Chinese | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
pairing. This is going to put gold out of reach, I'm sure of it. I have | :55:10. | :55:17. | |
no idea what he's talking about either... It is Roald Dahl's | :55:18. | :55:23. | |
language! There we go, pick up the marks for us! 354 is where they end | :55:24. | :55:37. | |
up, and lessening extraordinary happens, it is gold for China. Let's | :55:38. | :55:43. | |
see what happens with silver and bronze, the next four teams, | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
including our girls who go last, are very much in the mix. Separated by | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
six points. That is where they are. | :55:52. | :55:55. | |
Malaysia, North Korea, Canada and Great Britain are separated by six | :55:56. | :56:00. | |
points. The same dive for Malaysia, North Korea and Canada, and Tonia | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
Couch and Lois Toulson opt for a different dive. It is as tense as | :56:07. | :56:11. | |
the men's yesterday, the boys did a great job diving last. Tonya and | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
Lois are there as well. We have more teams in the mix here. More teams | :56:17. | :56:22. | |
capable of getting medals than we had yesterday. Even tighter still. | :56:23. | :56:32. | |
As we move onto the Malaysia side, they hold onto second place after | :56:33. | :56:39. | |
round four, back 2.5. This is their version... It is tremendous, isn't | :56:40. | :56:46. | |
it? Not quite as good as the Chinese. They are home and dry now. | :56:47. | :56:54. | |
This is their Middle Drive, will it be enough? Malaysia now have a | :56:55. | :57:02. | |
nervous wait -- middle dive. Slightly out of time, a little | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
splash thrown up hurt it is still a huge dies. -- dive. Into the green | :57:07. | :57:16. | |
abyss they go, as they surface now, the scoreboard flickers to life at | :57:17. | :57:20. | |
some stage and we will reveal whether the score is more than 80 | :57:21. | :57:25. | |
points. If it does, it is a heck of a marker. | :57:26. | :57:30. | |
That's the answer, they go 344. They move into second place. Now we | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
get the old calculator out to work out who did what... It will take a | :57:36. | :57:40. | |
lot to overtake Malaysia at this stage but it is possible with marks | :57:41. | :57:44. | |
available to North Korea, Great Britain and Canada. They are | :57:45. | :57:49. | |
separated by only six points from the last round. | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
Celebrations go on in the Malaysia camp, perhaps premature, but could | :57:54. | :58:03. | |
be anticipating nobody is doing it as consistently as they are. | :58:04. | :58:07. | |
Regardless of the outcome, their performance has been outstanding. | :58:08. | :58:11. | |
Now, North Korea. Here come the two Kims. How can they do? Nines would | :58:12. | :58:21. | |
put them in second... She folded! The diver furthest from us, Kim, | :58:22. | :58:27. | |
faulted. That means that the North Koreans will not catch China. They | :58:28. | :58:33. | |
will not catch Malaysia. It opens the door for Canada and Great | :58:34. | :58:38. | |
Britain. Came closest to us thrills her dive... And her partner has an | :58:39. | :58:51. | |
unfortunate wobble. -- Kim. We are having a real delay on the scores... | :58:52. | :58:56. | |
It's worth the wait, let's wait and see. Execution marks one, two, and | :58:57. | :59:05. | |
three will be super low. North Korea are out of it. They've | :59:06. | :59:10. | |
gone. They are in third place now. That will be overtaken surely by | :59:11. | :59:15. | |
Great Britain or Canada. Working on the base that China are away, | :59:16. | :59:19. | |
Malaysia might have secured second and not confirmed yet that there is | :59:20. | :59:24. | |
a bronze medal up for grabs for Great Britain or Canada. And there | :59:25. | :59:29. | |
is one point separating Great Britain from Canada... 256 versus | :59:30. | :59:38. | |
255, it is a dead start. This is Canadas effort. 2.5 somersaults and | :59:39. | :59:40. | |
two -- 1.5 twists. | :59:41. | :59:53. | |
They need 9.5s for Canada, we will see this in the competition. | :59:54. | :59:59. | |
Our Canada heading for third place in the final? -- our Canada? My | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
word, it is an exceptional dive from the experienced pair from Canada. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
What a dies to finish on! World-class. -- dive. Holding form, | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
it could prove to be the dive that secures them the medal. They will be | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
close to Malaysia, they had a little gap to close. They are going to get | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
nines, all over nines on that. That might have put the medals out of | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
reach for the British pairing of Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson to | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
come. An agonising wait to see what happens. It is a huge score and | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
confirmation on your screens in a moment. | :00:46. | :00:58. | |
It is very tight. We can pretty much what it out. A does it. A does it | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
for Great Britain to get third place. -- 82. Inward 3.5 somersaults | :01:07. | :01:20. | |
and the tuck position. This needs to be the best ever from Tonia Couch | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Lois Toulson. What a dream versus. They have to believe deeply. This is | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
what you have done all the hard work far. It comes down to this dive in | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
the Olympic final. Manage your state. Let us do this. Take your | :01:38. | :01:47. | |
time and do it right. 82 gets in the bronze medal to match the men in the | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
tens metre. It is good but that is not good | :01:50. | :02:11. | |
enough. The Canadians know that they have won the medal. It is going to | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
be agonisingly close just outside. What a shame for our ladies. They | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
put everything into it and it was not good enough on the day. Inward | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
3.5 in the tuck position. Just rolling into the water. What an | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
absolute shame. The synchronisation was good but not good enough for the | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
medal today. Well done. Valiant effort. The marks are going up the | :02:39. | :02:50. | |
code are getting excited. Ultimately, he moved down below | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
North Korea. That is because of the execution marks on the left. | :02:57. | :03:08. | |
We will wait for confirmation on your screen. China have won the Gold | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
Medal. Not by a huge margin. Malaysia were already celebrating | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
before the new Chen Ruo Lin and Liu Hui Xia are the winners of the | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
women's synchronised ten-metre platform. The Canadians have moved | :03:34. | :03:45. | |
into a medal place. It is not surprisingly Chinese have done it. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Only ten points in the end between and Malaysia. They have been pushed | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
in some of the women's events during the course of the week. I am sure we | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
will give you the tabulated scores at the end. It is China, Malaysia | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
and Canada. Great Britain finishing in fifth place. And in the end, 17 | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
points away from a medal. Not to be fought Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson | :04:18. | :04:18. | |
today. Disappointing for both of them. We | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
were hoping they would take the bronze medal and we are trying to | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
get to the bottom of that agreement swimming pool as well. Most people | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
thinking it may be algae or some sort of Brazilian colours. We've got | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
to take you to some more live sport. Over on BBC One at the moment, there | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
is live gymnastics for you. Great Britain are in within a shout of the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
medal in the women's team gymnastics. The men finished in | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
fourth yesterday. That is on BBC One. We were showing you Johann | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
contact earlier on and she is still playing against the plan Kuznetsova. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
That is on the Red Button. -- Jo Konta. It is the deciding set and | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
she is 6-5 up. If you want to see the conclusion of that you can go to | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
the Red Button. We're taking you to live Rugby sevens as promised. This | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
is the group that Great Britain R.N. And it is very strong with New | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
Zealand Japan and Kenya. Great Britain defeated Kenya earlier on. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
And there was a huge upset with New Zealand lost to Japan. We will take | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
you now to Great Britain's game against Japan in the Deodoro | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
Stadium. We will bring you right up to date. Two tries early on for | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
James Rodwell. He has been impressive. Going the full length of | :05:52. | :05:52. | |
the pitch. He is England's most capped sevens | :05:53. | :06:06. | |
player in the squad at the moment. And if that was a good start, he | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
went over again. The second try of the game. We have brought you up to | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
date. Let us take a live commentary. This is happening at the moment at | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
the Deodoro Stadium. Great Britain of 14-0 over Japan who beat Japan. | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
COMMENTATOR: Great Britain got off to a flying start, two tries from | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
James Rodwell means the lead 14-0. They were having not just a sticky | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
patch but Japan back the game. Japan are asking if you questions. More | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
than asking if you questions. Japan are right back in this. They went | :06:55. | :07:06. | |
for the power play. Team GB will be disappointed with that. That is a | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
try by Lomano Lemeki. He came in unopposed. It is the speed of the | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
recycling of the ball. Just reminding all the viewers, this is | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
the Japanese team that stunned that the rugby world by defeating New | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
Zealand 14-12. This is a very good Japanese team. Until that last play, | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
Team GB had coped with it comfortably. They have picked out | :07:40. | :07:55. | |
Tom Mitchell. Phil Burgess goes on and it is a penalty against Japan. | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
Phil Burgess fought about taking it quickly. Play will go on. Mitchell | :08:03. | :08:15. | |
organises everything. It is almost in the identical position of the | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
earlier tried. The referee from New Zealand tells them to hurry up. It | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
comes to Dan Bibby and then And out of play and that is the end | :08:27. | :08:39. | |
of the first-half. It is tight enough but Britain with advantage. | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
Great Britain 14-7 Japan. Seven minutes was very quickly in that | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
game. I am looking at Dan Norton, the flyer for Great Britain. I do | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
not think he has touched the ball. It is Lauren Baillie/ James Rodwell | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
and James Davis been very impressive. Japan had a very good | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
side. They have the own way of playing and deeply a lot narrower | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
than the British boys and it is just as effective. | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
Japan, like the other smaller teams, are coming into the game and putting | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
the markdown. The scheme should suit the way that the Japanese set up. -- | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
this scheme. This is the first score, Dan Bibby involved. He could | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
sit back and watch James Rodwell go the length of the field. He could | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
slow down at the end. This was the second try. James Davies, the | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Welshman. He sets it up for what well. He is overhauled by Kazuhiro | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
Goya but he gets there. The response by Japan. Lomano Lemeki scores and | :09:55. | :10:11. | |
it is 14-7 at half-time. One of the great sights of rugby was seeing | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
them out playing the Kiwis. You can see why the scheme sits them, it is | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
very simple and they have got lots of technique. These governments | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
quickly and they move the ball quickly. They are a threat. -- the | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
scrum moves quickly. It is important for Great Britain that Mitchell | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
nails this cat. He will be trying to find the space. -- nails this click. | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
Mark Bennett, the Scotsman has not touched the ball or Dan Norton, the | :10:46. | :10:56. | |
flyer. What is to come? This gives James Rodwell the chance to get up | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
but he cannot win it. It is not a penalty, there was not | :10:59. | :11:40. | |
an offside but there was a knock-on so Japan get the penalty. James | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
Rodwell gets to his feet and the Japanese felt he was offside. He was | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
OK so he played the ball. Watch out quickly this ball comes out of the | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
scrum. They have got some size in the three forwards but it will be | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
in, out and away. Do you look -- Kazuhiro Goya will feed the scrum. | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
In and out quickly. The speed is fantastic. Good tackling. Mark | :12:21. | :12:32. | |
Bennett with that tackle. It is now a numbers game. Japan with an extra | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
player. It is a penalty for Great Britain. | :12:36. | :12:57. | |
James Davis was the key man. He absolutely stop that. Hats off to | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
the Welshman. He is a Scarlets player. He stopped the ball and got | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
great body position. Great Britain needed that as Japan are coming back | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
into the game. They could do with scoring. And now the substitution | :13:12. | :13:21. | |
starter Great Britain. On comes Mark Robertson of Scotland. It is Tom | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
Mitchell that is going off. James Davies is coming off. Mitchell is | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
staying on, he is throwing the ball in. He has just gone to the | :13:36. | :13:36. | |
line-out. That was a knock-on. That was really | :13:37. | :13:51. | |
sloppy from Great Britain. They had been really good up until now. They | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
are going through a quiet patch. They handed the possession right | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
back to Japan. The Japanese get the feed. Samuel Cross of Wales comes on | :14:02. | :14:17. | |
to replace James Rodwell. Surely coy and is on at scrum-half for Japan. | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
He is a good player. The ball is out of play. It is just | :14:20. | :14:36. | |
a line-out. Samuel Cross was to take it quickly. Why can't he? It is | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
because it is a Japan ball, that's why. What a tackle by Bennett. That | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
is astonishing. What a brilliant tackle by Bennett. He saves his | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
team. Great Britain will want to get this ball out of this danger area. | :15:00. | :15:12. | |
Japan have kept it in the field. It has gone loose and Dan Bibby picks | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
it up. Penalty against Great Britain. Dan Bibby has lost it. And | :15:20. | :15:28. | |
Katsuyuki Sakai has scored for Japan. We will be all square. | :15:29. | :15:41. | |
Sakai, the possession turned over, and with the conversion to come, we | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
should be 14-14, two .5 minutes to go. | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
Japan are so clinical in contact, they are the one team with contact, | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
they recycle so quickly, Team GB tried to stop them and give away the | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
penalty. That was close. Team GB just cruising, it is 14-14, Japan, | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
they beat New Zealand this morning, and are looking at another major | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
scalp. Team GB really had to focus. This | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
kick-off is key. Marcus Watson comes on as irreplaceable at. | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
Tom Mitchell takes it. -- comes up on as a | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
replacement. Sam Cross gets out of trouble well. | :16:35. | :16:46. | |
If it stays in field, it will be interesting... It is just out. That | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
was the right option from Mitchell, it had to stay. Norton, one of the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
flies in the tournament, just resting out. Giving Japan the feed, | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
they have the ball. Just over one minute ago. A big line-out, we need | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
Sam Cross to disrupt the Japanese line-out. Toyoshima to throw, you | :17:09. | :17:18. | |
can have drawers in the pools stages. It all goes to sudden | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
death... Phil Burgess sweeps onto the ball. | :17:24. | :17:33. | |
Go on, Marcus Watson, he's through! He should have the gas to get them | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
back. Half a minute ago, and Marcus Watson puts Great Britain back in | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
the lead. -- to go. | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
Marcus Watson, the brother of Anthony, the England star, showing | :17:50. | :18:01. | |
real pace and power. Team GB needed that, I have to say | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
that Team GB have looked really good but hats off to Japan. | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
They have caused an upset this morning, but well done Team GB, they | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
kept their head and did not panic. Mitchell puts it over. Even though | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
the hooter has gone, as the try was scored within 30 seconds, there will | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
be a restart. It means Britain can't lose but Japan can still get the | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
draw. What they do with this, tactically, | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
it will be interesting to see if they kick the ball long or where | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
Mitchell puts it. It may go along, and put the | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
chasing. They could get the ball down their half and see if Japan go | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
the length of the field to score. Going toward Sam Cross on the far | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
side... It does. Sam Cross, chases and gets a hand to | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
it. Straight out, it is a free kick for Japan. | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
I have to say I'm really surprised he just kicked the ball on, get it | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
downfield. Team GB defence has been pretty good so far, but what you | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
have got is a talented Japanese team with a free ball on the line. | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
One scored two tie the game, it's a big moment. Team GB need to win this | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
group. Six players have been at defensive line. Tom Mitchell, the | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
sweeper behind. Japan with their set piece. Lomano Lemeki is a real | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
handful, one of the try scorers. Sakai is still going... Japan are | :19:41. | :19:54. | |
through. Toyoshima... And now, Soejima, penalty advantage to Japan | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
played. This goes into overtime. It is a high tackle. Against Dan | :20:01. | :20:14. | |
Norton. This is why we love sevens, it's nail-biting stuff, everyone is | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
on their feet. They hoof to the ball downfield, rather than resetting. | :20:22. | :20:34. | |
It is wide, and it's a good tackle on. Bibby holds... It's going to be | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
a try, they have to keep him out wide. It's a try for Lomano Lemeki. | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
It will all hang on the conversions. Do Great Britain win or will it be a | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
draw? Lomano Lemeki had the off-load, and the tackle. The | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
Japanese team is world-class. What a moment! This team has beaten New | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
Zealand. We have one kick now, for the Japanese team to draw. With Team | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
GB. He misses it, and Great Britain | :21:13. | :21:27. | |
squeezed through against Japan. Japan beat New Zealand, they have | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
been beaten by Team GB, 21-19. What a thriller! I hope you enjoyed | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
that, the standard of rugby sevens in this tournament has been | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
fantastic. From all of the teams. The less fashionable tyres, Japan, | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Number ten, they've been wonderful. Great Britain 21- 19 Japan. | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
DAN: What an unbelievable game to kick off our rugby sevens action on | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
BBC for tonight. More rugby sevens in ten minutes time, we will be back | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
to watch New Zealand two loss to Japan earlier today, they will be | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
playing Kenya. We always thought the rugby sevens | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
would be great at this Olympic Games. | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
With the women's in the first few days, now the men's, it has not | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
disappointed. It day four of the wonderful Rio | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
Olympics, another beautiful night down here at Copacabana beach. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
We will wander out there later. Hopefully do more live fishing, we | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
missed it last night, it was too windy. | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
But there is so much going on, we will bring you the headlines from | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
day four of the brioche games. -- the Rio Olympics. About 30 | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
minutes ago, an agonising fit place for Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson in | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
the ten metre synchronised women's diving. | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
China took gold once again, fit place for Team GB. We will hear from | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
them in a moment. -- fifth place. A huge win for | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
Johanna Konta in tennis, she came from one set down to beat her | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
opponent. Look how much it meant to her, into | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
the quarterfinals where she will play some stones or Angelique | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
Kerber, one of the Wimbledon finalist from this year. | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
Andy Murray made it three in the men's singles earlier. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
In rowing, Katherine Grainger remains on course to win a fifth | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
Olympic medal, her and Vicky Thornley but their spot in the | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
double sculls final today. -- booked. In boxing, not good news | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
for joke and -- Joe Cordina, key loss to his | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
backers -- he lost to his Uzbekistan | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
opponent. And for the first time since 1996, | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
Atalanta, written with failed to win a team eventing medal, they finished | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
in fifth, France took gold. Their first of the Rio Olympics. -- | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
Britain have failed. On BBC One, the conclusion of the | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
women's team gymnastics. Amazing skills on display. | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
Simone Biles of team USA, the favourite to win individual gold, | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
she is part of the USA team leading the way at the moment. Team GB in | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
with a shout of getting a medal. That is on BBC One at the moment. | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
He and BBC Four, hockey later on. We saw Johanna Konta this afternoon. | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
We had live diving, we are back at the rugby in a moment, in terms of | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
the diving, with Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson finishing fifth, right | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
up until their final dive. They spoke to Nick Hope. | :24:47. | :24:57. | |
Tonia, a high-quality performance. We been diving together eight | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
months, that was the most enjoyable competition I've ever been in. I | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
really enjoyed it and Lois was fantastic today. This is your first | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
Olympics, she said you haven't been together very long, to perform like | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
that and get scores like that is impressive? Yes, it's only been | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
eight months. To even be here is amazing. And especially to have done | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
my first Olympics with Tonia, it's been really fun and I've enjoyed it. | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
On top, you've been studying and doing your GCSEs as well as training | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
for the Olympics? Yes, I just finished my GCSEs and when I get | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
back I will get my results. I have forgotten about them for now and I'm | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
concentrating on diving. We have to ask you about the colour of the | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
water, a law of people have been talking about the green. We noticed | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
it was green in training but by the time we got out | :25:49. | :26:04. | |
and came back again, we were at ten metres and we could not believe how | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
green it was, it does not matter. I thought it was easier to spot. We | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
did well and got a personal best, perhaps we should ask for green | :26:11. | :26:12. | |
water! You have the individual competition to come, you are looking | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
for a medal, hopefully? It will be tough for a medal, I don't worry | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
about it, today I said to Lois, it's your first completion, who cares | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
about the medal? The people getting medals have been together over 11 | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
years. I will dive well, fingers crossed. I had an amazing time today | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
and I loved every minute. Well done. Wonderful to see some smiling as | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
well. One of the big talking points throughout the diving final was the | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
colour of people. Social media went mad, you may have | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
seen when Daniel Goodfellow and Tom Daley were diving yesterday, it was | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
a perfect blue, now it is green, cucumber green! | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
A lot of explanations, still waiting for Rio 2016 to come out with an | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
official statement. I've had a swimming pool attendant who got in | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
contact with us on social media, he said it's a chlorine issue, but it | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
will be interesting to see what Rio 2016 save. | :27:08. | :27:09. | |
We will get to the bottom of it during this evening. | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
Let's show you another pool, rugby sevens pool seam. And an updated | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
table, this is what it looks like. Great Britain have squeezed past | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
Japan by 21-19. They missed their final conversion, Great Britain | :27:27. | :27:35. | |
topping the pool, Japan beat New Zealand earlier. | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
They take on Kinnear. It's the Kiwis, the All Blacks, playing the | :27:41. | :27:47. | |
Kenyans. Clive Woodward and Eddie Butler. | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
COMMENTATOR: We are recovering after the upset of Japan beating New | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
Zealand this morning. It sent a shiver around the stadium and | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
generated a war that has not been heard since Japan beat South Africa | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
in the Rugby World Cup -- roar. Kenya with a chance against New | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
Zealand. If it had not been a draw against Great Britain and Japan... | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
New Zealand would have been staring at the possibility of finishing | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
third in the group? All I can say is I never saw so many quiet Kiwis! | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
They are all shell-shocked from this morning. | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
But, well deserved. It's interesting, the team have some big | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
names but they are lacking the out and out gas that the big sides have. | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
It showed against Japan this morning. Unfortunately the big news | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
is Sonny Bill Williams is out of the tournament due to injury. With an | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
Achilles tendon injury. The big name in the New Zealand team is out. | :28:48. | :28:56. | |
These are the officials, they've been very influential, there have | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
been a lot of yellow cards, penalties at the breakdown, there is | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
no question of any criticism, but they are under instructions to do | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
certain things, and the players know it. | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
My only criticism is at the breakdown, where we've had quite HQ | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
yellow cards for deliberate knock-on 's and high tackles, -- quite a few. | :29:18. | :29:25. | |
Not one yellow card for consistent infringement. | :29:26. | :29:34. | |
The ballplayer, number four, is DJ Forbes for New Zealand, the old | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
captain. He has come back, he made himself available for this, the | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
Olympics. He looked out of sorts this morning, and he's not in the | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
starting line-up. He is a legendary figure in Kiwi sevens. But he's not | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
in the team. New Zealand have reshuffled after the morning upset. | :29:54. | :30:08. | |
The brothers, Rieko Ioane and Akira Ioane, they both start. D J Forbes | :30:09. | :30:16. | |
is a wonderful player and no surprise he does not start. There | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
could be some fireworks in the scheme with both club rebel sides -- | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
with both sides having lost in the opening round. Kenya made a slight | :30:27. | :30:35. | |
mess of that. This is Kenya!. They will drive at you and seek contact. | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
They will also go wide. Great off-load to Collins. What an | :30:40. | :31:04. | |
amazing sight, the man on the screen. He is the speedster, Collins | :31:05. | :31:18. | |
Injera. They tried to play in Britain very physically this | :31:19. | :31:23. | |
morning. This afternoon, against New Zealand, they are showing they have | :31:24. | :31:31. | |
got some real peace. Biko Adema for the extra two points. He just | :31:32. | :31:38. | |
misses. It stays at five. It is one of the great sights. As | :31:39. | :32:02. | |
long as you're not a New Zealander. Biko Adema with the restart. | :32:03. | :32:09. | |
Willy Ambaka comes up for that. It is a penalty. For Kenya. That was | :32:10. | :32:25. | |
the tackle are not releasing the ball quick enough. The referees have | :32:26. | :32:37. | |
been a very strict on this. They will put the ball down the field and | :32:38. | :32:47. | |
play for the line-out. There is real pace about this team that you need | :32:48. | :32:54. | |
to win the gold medal. Into the line-out goes Scott Curry and Tim | :32:55. | :33:05. | |
Mikkelson. And Sam Dickson. It is Scott Curry who wins it, he is the | :33:06. | :33:06. | |
captain of this squad. It should be there on the blindside | :33:07. | :33:33. | |
for Scott Curry. We will have to have a look at it. The Kenyans have | :33:34. | :33:39. | |
really upped their physicality. When Mike Friday went there, he got | :33:40. | :33:46. | |
toughness. The referee is from Argentina and that is not a try. If | :33:47. | :33:51. | |
you look at the high tackle again, they have been stripped about the | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
high tackles. It is definitely not a try. You can see his right arm, is | :33:56. | :34:09. | |
that a legal tackle? We have seen it before and it will be a penalty try. | :34:10. | :34:16. | |
It is a dangerous tackle more than a high tackle. Because Scott Curry is | :34:17. | :34:21. | |
going global, it was the fact the tackle was around his neck. We are | :34:22. | :34:30. | |
playing the laws of rugby here. I think that is quite a tough call. | :34:31. | :34:34. | |
Perhaps Peter lies him but it was not a yellow card. And I did not | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
think it was a penalty try. It is not the first time that it happened | :34:40. | :34:45. | |
today. The Argentinian player was said and for the same thing. | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
Australia with the penalty try to take the lead. The restart is such a | :34:49. | :35:02. | |
key part of rugby sevens. Willy Ambaka catches under pressure from | :35:03. | :35:11. | |
Sam Dickson. It has gone loose. It was scrambled but he found touch. It | :35:12. | :35:16. | |
hands at the bandage to New Zealand and it is quickly taken by Sam | :35:17. | :35:28. | |
Dickson. It is going to be Akira Ioane. At is a soft try. It is a | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
scrappy episode for Kenya. New Zealand are hotting them. You can | :35:35. | :35:39. | |
see the red shirts of Kenya, they all thought he was in the line-out. | :35:40. | :35:45. | |
There was no. In this young man. They have some wonderful athletes. | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
The brothers, Akira Ioane and mackerel one, they are some of the | :35:51. | :35:54. | |
best. New Zealand are relieved after the shock of this morning. -- Rieko | :35:55. | :36:04. | |
Ioane. They had the quick line-out when the Kenyans felt it was a | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
traditional line-out. That is why sevens in such a great game, there | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
is so much happening you cannot just stop. The ball was in and out play | :36:14. | :36:21. | |
quickly. Augustine Pulu as the two points. That was good work by Sam | :36:22. | :36:31. | |
Dickson. He stopped the ball going straight out which would be a free | :36:32. | :36:38. | |
kick for Kenya. There have been a few of those that have went straight | :36:39. | :36:41. | |
out and you have given the ball straight back to the opposition. | :36:42. | :36:54. | |
Good play. Great feet, great feet. By Billy Odhiambo. | :36:55. | :37:10. | |
Willy Ambaka cannot quite keep the ball in play. 45 seconds left in | :37:11. | :37:19. | |
this opening period. New Zealand have the full. Willy Ambaka is the | :37:20. | :37:28. | |
real talent on the window for Kenya. -- out wide. The referee will not | :37:29. | :37:38. | |
allow them to delay for too long. The throw is going to come. It is | :37:39. | :37:46. | |
taken by Scott Curry. New Zealand March the ball forward. | :37:47. | :37:56. | |
The chase is going to be won by Rieko Ioane. It was a little knock | :37:57. | :38:06. | |
forward. Those are the kicks I like, you kick it in play and it is a real | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
fruit trees. If you have your players on the chart when you kick | :38:11. | :38:14. | |
it, there is every reason that you can get and that you can get to it | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
first. Rieko Ioane will be disappointed. They have got pace, I | :38:19. | :38:31. | |
am talking about Dan Norton. And Peggy Baker for the United States | :38:32. | :38:33. | |
when you have got really quick players. | :38:34. | :38:46. | |
It is a penalty and we will play on even though we are into overtime. | :38:47. | :39:10. | |
New Zealand when the penalty. We still do not have half-time. | :39:11. | :39:24. | |
It was not ten, still replay on. Night is falling at the Deodoro | :39:25. | :39:32. | |
Stadium. That was a strange decision. I am not sure what he was | :39:33. | :39:41. | |
trying to do. Very not like New Zealand. They are usually very | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
clever when they see what is happening but that was a kick to | :39:45. | :40:04. | |
nothing. This is Tim Mikkelson. Was Rieko Ioane out of play? The ball | :40:05. | :40:09. | |
has gone backwards and New Zealand try to put pressure on from Sam | :40:10. | :40:11. | |
Dickson out of the breakdown. Kenya say we need a break. We are | :40:12. | :40:25. | |
trailing but only 14-5. Let us gather again. The right tactics by | :40:26. | :40:37. | |
Kenya. There is a time when you have to say, start again, get to | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
half-time and put the ball out. New Zealand are much improved from this | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
morning against Japan. Kenya showing real gas. I really like Collins | :40:48. | :40:57. | |
Injera. He is a wonderful player. They can get outside this New | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
Zealand team which they have done on a couple of occasions and have | :41:01. | :41:02. | |
scored one fantastic try. Kenya are coached by Ben Cruise from | :41:03. | :41:17. | |
South Africa. This is Collins Injera, heading for try number one. | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
And in the day of upsets, did that mark the start of another? Briefly, | :41:23. | :41:29. | |
it dead. Sam Dickson on the charge. Scott Curry taken around the neck. | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
And Collins Injera went into the sin-bin. New Zealand went ahead by | :41:36. | :41:42. | |
two points at that point. And then taking the lead, a second converted | :41:43. | :41:44. | |
try, 14-5. Gordon is the new Deal and has been | :41:45. | :42:03. | |
around for two decades. He has been coaching the new music -- the New | :42:04. | :42:12. | |
Zealand team for lots of years. The New Zealand sevens programme, they | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
have produced 44 All Blacks through the programme. They use it in a | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
different way that we do back home. They use it as a breeding ground for | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
some of the great players. What a for players including Jolyon Palmer. | :42:26. | :42:40. | |
--Jonah lomu. There is a change at half-time. There is the chance to | :42:41. | :42:51. | |
get the replacement of taste of early action. It has gone out and | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
the space not covered by New Zealand. Most teams come with 12 | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
players in your squad and the happy couple of travelling reserves. It is | :43:01. | :43:09. | |
terrible on Sonny Bill Williams. That's why you have to have back-up | :43:10. | :43:14. | |
players. In the hope that somebody gets injured. | :43:15. | :43:29. | |
Scott Curry wins the award. New Zealand will take some territory. | :43:30. | :43:41. | |
They will look downfield with Augustine Pulu. Very well played by | :43:42. | :43:51. | |
Collins Injera, keeping the ball in play. That was a strange one. New | :43:52. | :44:00. | |
Zealand are happy with that. They now have the line-out throw. | :44:01. | :44:07. | |
Normally, the line-out drills of these players are all very good. You | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
will expect New Zealand to win this ball from here. They have got Rieko | :44:13. | :44:20. | |
Ioane --Jonah lomu. -- Akira Ioane out in the backs division. | :44:21. | :44:42. | |
Penalty against Kenya. Certainly the best side we have seen today is | :44:43. | :44:56. | |
South Africa. Great Britain are a close second. It is just the power | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
of the forwards. When I see the New Zealand forwards, you could see then | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
Sam Dickson taking the ball, it was not with the same ferocity that we | :45:08. | :45:10. | |
have seen of some of the other forwards. | :45:11. | :45:18. | |
And it should be Akira Ioane who scores yet again? Did he lose | :45:19. | :45:26. | |
control of the ball? He doesn't seem to be too convinced. | :45:27. | :45:36. | |
He is going to have a look. Over to you, Clive. He reached the score for | :45:37. | :45:46. | |
this position. Not yet, he has not scored yet. Not yet, hand under the | :45:47. | :45:52. | |
ball. Elbow. No! I do not think it is a try. He | :45:53. | :46:14. | |
has dropped dead. Really well done to 20 macro. | :46:15. | :46:25. | |
-- Emonyi Collins Injera. You really cannot give that. Great decision. He | :46:26. | :46:38. | |
has given New Zealand the put in. Blackball, no knock on. | :46:39. | :46:49. | |
Replacements for Kenya and New Zealand prepare for the scrummage. | :46:50. | :46:59. | |
12 macro is coming on for New Zealand. -- DJ Forbes. | :47:00. | :47:14. | |
13 macro troops off, disgusted with himself for not scoring -- 29-macro. | :47:15. | :47:28. | |
-- -- 29-macro. -- 13 macro. -- Oscar Ouma?. The Mistry almost | :47:29. | :47:56. | |
sums up their days. They have been OK but not quite on the money. You | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
do not see the real cynical side of this New Zealand team. It has been a | :48:02. | :48:09. | |
worrying day for them, headed a losing to Japan this morning. They | :48:10. | :48:14. | |
are not getting it all their own way against a very physical union team | :48:15. | :48:24. | |
this evening. 31-macro adds the two points, 21-5. -- Augustine Pulu. | :48:25. | :48:34. | |
There is something out of kilter with New Zealand and Kenya have a | :48:35. | :48:38. | |
real chance to make them pay for that gift. They need a good team | :48:39. | :48:44. | |
meeting. We have all had these days. They need to put out a system and | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
come backfiring. One thing about New Zealand, they will come out firing. | :48:50. | :49:02. | |
Quick blast. Off come Kenya again. Now then, here is one to chase. A | :49:03. | :49:12. | |
bit long. A second bite at it for Kenya. A little bit inexperienced, | :49:13. | :49:20. | |
the Kenyans player there. You have to kick it knowing you can get it | :49:21. | :49:30. | |
back and he had no chance. This time New Zealand when the penalty. The | :49:31. | :49:39. | |
ancient New Zealand tradition of competing like theory at the break | :49:40. | :49:48. | |
down. -- like fury. On for them comes Gillies Kaka. Gillies Kaka | :49:49. | :49:58. | |
started this morning against Japan. He will be pleased to at least get a | :49:59. | :50:05. | |
minute and a half under his held, to get that game out of the system. -- | :50:06. | :50:13. | |
under his belt. Big match tomorrow, New Zealand are going to come | :50:14. | :50:20. | |
through today with a lost one, won one record, tomorrow they play Great | :50:21. | :50:26. | |
Britain. Nothing should cause too many sleepless nights for Team GB, | :50:27. | :50:29. | |
they were very impressive in their first game against Kenya and they | :50:30. | :50:35. | |
had their moments against Japan, they will look forward to playing | :50:36. | :50:38. | |
New Zealand, I ain't they will think they can have a real go. -- I think | :50:39. | :50:48. | |
they will think. Possession won, Kaka. Superb tackle in the end by | :50:49. | :51:06. | |
Oscar. You feel that the Kenyans feel comfortable when the New | :51:07. | :51:11. | |
Zealand team is coming out. No one in the team can take it. A lot of | :51:12. | :51:16. | |
power, but he does not have the searing pace. So far the Kenyans | :51:17. | :51:24. | |
have handled them pretty well. New Zealand with this line-out, 25 | :51:25. | :51:31. | |
seconds to go. The game is safe for them. They will have had better days | :51:32. | :51:44. | |
on the circuit than this. They will come back. That makes them even more | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
dangerous that they have not hit their straps today. It comes down to | :51:51. | :52:03. | |
Kaka. Scott Curry loops around Rieko Ioane. DJ Forbes. Another penalty | :52:04. | :52:17. | |
and Vantage being played. That was always going to be there -- | :52:18. | :52:25. | |
advantage. Let us see if they can put on one of their set plays and do | :52:26. | :52:34. | |
something really special. Kaka, sizes up the options. Get a move on, | :52:35. | :52:49. | |
this is the Olympic Games. Ioane. The sheer strength of Rieko Ioane. | :52:50. | :52:57. | |
Superb defending. Ioane. Penalty to Kenya. Very strange set play from | :52:58. | :53:06. | |
New Zealand. There was just nothing happening from it and Kenya comes a | :53:07. | :53:12. | |
little bit easier. A little break-out, August ain't. This is | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
Samuel. -- Augustine Pulu. We have seen | :53:19. | :53:32. | |
countless times, DJ Forbes cannot quite find Lewis Ormonde. There is | :53:33. | :53:43. | |
an overlap. Gillies Kaka does not need it. The last act of this game | :53:44. | :53:50. | |
is to hand the scoring pass. To Lewis Ormonde. Well done Kaka, he is | :53:51. | :53:57. | |
one of the stars. He had a bad game this morning, but he is a class | :53:58. | :54:04. | |
player and that will do his that is a world of good. New Zealand do with | :54:05. | :54:13. | |
they do well -- confidence. There we go. Just wonderful. It is amazing | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
when you carry the ball in two hands what you can do. He gives it to | :54:18. | :54:29. | |
Lewis Ormonde to set down. 28-5, New Zealand have beating Kenya. -- | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
beaten. The favourites have finally got a | :54:34. | :54:43. | |
win. What a wonderful opening day of men's rugby sevens. Let us show you | :54:44. | :54:52. | |
how it affects things. Big thank you to Stephen Jackson, here's a BBC for | :54:53. | :55:02. | |
viewer and he says why have you got GD instead of GP. New Zealand are up | :55:03. | :55:11. | |
to second. Japan are third and Kenya just losing and are down in fourth | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
with two points. There is a bit of music, we will tell you what it is | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
going on in a moment, and after Team GB managed to get the better of | :55:21. | :55:23. | |
Kenya and Japan today, John and Adele spoke to one of the guys who | :55:24. | :55:36. | |
scored two tries -- John Inver Dale. We will talk about your tries in the | :55:37. | :55:39. | |
second, how nerve-wracking was the end? We thought we had won it when | :55:40. | :55:47. | |
Marcus scored. The referee made the call for the kick-off. Japan showed | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
in the first game what a team they are. They play with confidence. I | :55:52. | :55:56. | |
was pleased that the boys stuck together. They forced them out wide, | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
the conversion was under pressure. Two tries from you, 14-0, is there a | :56:01. | :56:09. | |
danger that you take your foot off the pedal? I do not think so. A | :56:10. | :56:16. | |
missed tackle there, the game can change. We started with a bang and | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
it gave us confidence. We tried a few things that did not come off. As | :56:22. | :56:28. | |
a scratch team, are you finding almost with every play your getting | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
more accustomed to everyone else? We came together ten weeks ago. Most of | :56:34. | :56:39. | |
these teams have been playing together for four years. We are | :56:40. | :56:44. | |
looking to ills the team. Because new Zealand last, the Spaniards gave | :56:45. | :56:52. | |
Australia a huge run for their money, is the growth of the game | :56:53. | :56:56. | |
making it more equal and you cannot take any game for granted? You | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
cannot take any game for granted, it is so competitive. Six different | :57:02. | :57:07. | |
winners in ten tournaments, it makes the game so exciting. We are giving | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
the global audience something to cheer. Good luck. Thank you. A very | :57:13. | :57:19. | |
happy James Rodwell. He talked about inspiration and the fact they have | :57:20. | :57:23. | |
been fighting and so many times you talk to Olympians and they say what | :57:24. | :57:28. | |
the preparation has been like, their one chance to shine on a global | :57:29. | :57:32. | |
stage and maybe go home with a medal, it is all about getting | :57:33. | :57:37. | |
inspired and hopefully this will do a bit of that for you. Get Inspired | :57:38. | :57:41. | |

important, I do not know if you were watching Adam Peaty but he said in | :58:17. | :58:20. | |
2012 when he was watching the London games he saw an old school friend of | :58:21. | :58:25. | |
his competing and that kick-started him to knuckle down and get started | :58:26. | :58:30. | |
and look what he has done. He won a gold medal. We will be back at the | :58:31. | :58:35. | |
rugby sevens for Fiji against Argentina. From our base, we showed | :58:36. | :58:40. | |
you this side, plenty of the beach, I want to tell you what this music | :58:41. | :58:49. | |
is about. This avenue runs the full four kilometres of the beach and let | :58:50. | :58:55. | |
me introduce you to these people. They were freestylers who came from | :58:56. | :59:00. | |
Colombia. They brought their own music. Over to you, give us a minute | :59:01. | :59:03. | |
of magic. Skills! This is Andreas on the ball, it is | :59:04. | :59:39. | |
on his toe. Full marks for that. It is lovely. That is some serious | :59:40. | :59:51. | |
Colombian head skills right there, everyone. We are getting quite a | :59:52. | :59:58. | |
crowd. Give them a round of applause, brilliant stuff. | :59:59. | :00:00. | |
Gentlemen, thank you for that, well worth waiting for. It is day four of | :00:01. | :00:08. | |
the Olympics, from our base, high | :00:09. | :00:10. |
