Day 4 BBC One: 00.00-04.15 Olympics

Hello and welcome back to the Copacabana, day four of the Rio

Olympics, and in just a few hours' time, the greatest swimmer of all

time will re-enter the pool. A huge gold medal to Michael Phelps,

a new world record! I wonder whether we have here somebody who is going

to replace Spitz as the greatest swimmer ever.

# Maybe I'm foolish # Maybe I'm blind

# Thinking I can see through this # And see what's behind. Can Michael

Phelps go eight golds in eight days? He's tried to set Olympic history.

He's tried to set swimming history. Eight days, eight gold medals. Fen

Phelps is the greatest. His last Olympics, he goes out as

the best ever. No-one has won more Olympic medals

in history! CHEERING

# Oh, some people have a real problem

# Some people got to love # Michael Phelps is back.

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

Michael Phelps has been arrested for driving under the influence. Michael

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

United States. His second arrest for drink-driving. Banned for competing

from the United States for six months.

# I'm only human after all... Michael Phelps is heading to Rio. A

showdown in Rio looms ahead. Unbelievable from Phelps. His 19th

gold medal. A true champion. You simply have to stay up. You have

to stay with us this evening because we have got one heck of a night in

the pool, because Chad Le Clos of South Africa is up against Michael

Phelps and Phelps is going for his 20th Olympic gold medal. It is

simply an astonishing story. You do not want to miss it.

So Le Clos pipping Phelps to the 200m butterfly gold was one of the

highlights of London 2012. Four years later, it is the Rio re-match.

Britain's Siobhan-Marie O'Connor was the fastest qualifier in the 200m

individual medley, but can the 20-year-old stop Hungary's Katinka

Hosszu oning a third gold at these Games?

World Champions, Great Britain, qualified fastest for the final of

the 4x200m replay as they take on the mighty Americans later.

Emotional scenes in the men's weightlifting competition on day

three. Will we get more of the same later?

And they're outperforming the men. Brazil's women's football team look

to make it three wins out of three against South Africa.

So this is how we're lining up: Shortly we'll be at the

weightlifting for the men's 69kg gold medal competition. It's one of

the fastest and most dramatic sports of the Olympic Games. We'll check in

with the handball later. That's been amazing over the past couple of

days. Then we're into the Pool, Phelps v Le Clos in the 200m fly

just before 2:30. Britain's Siobhan-Marie O'Connor about an hour

later, a real shot at a medal. We wish her the best and then the 4 x

200m freestyle relay just after that. Can Britain add Olympic gold

to that world title? At Olympic Park, Brazil fans have been cheering

on their nation in many sports today, especially the men's

basketball. They beat Spain by a single point. And I can tell you

this - having been on Copacabana during that match, they were

watching in the bars, along the beach, all celebrating. We've got

breaking news in the tennis for you because Serena Williams has just

been knocked out, straight-sets shocker, to Elina Svitolina.

Normally her serve is so, so good, so powerful, utterly reduced to

rubble. And what a disaster it's been for the Williams sisters, these

Games. Out of the double, Venus and Serena, both out in the singles too.

So more on that later in the programme but let's go straight to

Olympic Park because the pool is going to be absolutely rocking this

evening and let's talk to Michael Jamieson, because he won a silver

medal in London 2012 and he's working for the media. Michael,

hello and good evening to you. This is going to be one almighty tussle

this evening. Yeah, what a fantastic session we've got lined up.

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, great to see her build on experience and

development from the London Olympic Games when she was just 15 years

old. So really exciting chance there. In the men's 4 x 200m

freestyle relay, the Brits had a fantastic performance this morning.

Great to see Dan Wallace back on form and young Duncan Scott on his

Olympic debut after breaking the British record earlier in the

session. So some absolutely fantastic swimming going on today

for the Brits. Michael, can we just focus on Le Clos against Phelps?

Because we looked at the Twitter feed last night and that shot of

them went viral. Twitter went into meltdown saying these two despise

each other. What is the mood like between these two? Well, as you can

see from the video, it looks like there could be a little bit of bad

blood between them. The video did go viral so it will be an incredible

race between them tonight. I don't think Phelps looked right on his

best game last night through the semifinals. But Chad Le Clos looked

a little bit tired after the 200m freestyle earlier in the session.

That will be a real tactical battle, not to mention the young Hungarian,

Kenderesi, who could be looking to spoil the party. Come on then,

Michael. Who is your money on? I've got to back Phelps. He's the best of

all time and in an environment like this, Olympic final, when it counts,

Phelps is going to be the man over anyone else in the field to find

that little bit extra. Michael, great to see you. Thank you very

much indeed for your time. Good man. Thank you. Cheers.

Get up, get inspired, get active. Well, yesterday, we saw some very

emotional scenes in the weightlifting with Oscar Figueroa of

Columbia. He decided to bow out at the very top. He lifted a combined

total of 318kg to win the men's Olympic 62kg weightlifting title and

delivering Columbia's first goal of Rio 2016. His 176kg lift in the

clean-and-jerk meant Indonesia's Eko Yuli Irawan was forced to settle for

silver as both men improved on the medals they won at London 2012. This

is your cut out-and-keep guide to the weightlifting tonight.

Men's weightlifting appeared at the first modern Olympics and has

featured at every Games since 1920. The women's competition only debuted

in Sydney in 2000. The aim of weightlifting is simple -

to lift the greatest weight possible. There are two types of

lift, the snatch and the clean-and-jerk. Competitors have to

complete both lifts and the winner is the person whose combined weight

total is the greatest. The snatch is a lift where the bar bell is raised

above the head to locked arms in one continuous movement. The athlete

starts in the squat position and must flip the weight so it moves in

an arc to a position above their head. When they're secure in this

position, they rise and complete the live. The clean-and-jerk lift is

performed in two stages. The clean is where the bar bell is gripped,

palms downwards and pulled in a single movement from the platform to

the shoulders. The jerk is where the athlete bends and then extends the

legs and arms to bring the bar bell to full stretch. They must then

stand still with the feet in line with the bar until they're given the

signal by the three judges that the lift is good.

Each weightlifter has three attempts in both the snatch and the

clean-and-jerk, with and the combined total of the highest two

successful lifts determining the overall result. If, after three

attempts, they fail to register a correct lift, they'll be eliminated

from the competition. Olympic weightlifting requires more than

just great strength, excellent balance, stability and speed - these

are essential to a weightlifter's quest for glory.

It is one of the great Olympic sports. So we're heading to the

men's 69kg competition. A Turkish competitor leads after a

lift of 163kg. He's loving it. So let's take a look at how it stands

as we go into the clean-and-jerk. They're about to start the

clean-and-jerk. Let's start with our commentary team.

So from Indonesia, Triyatno. This attempt would put him into third

position. 17 a five kilograms. - 175kg.

Oh, stand with a dead weight. That's tough.

Good overhead. Hips a little behind the bar. Tremendous leg strength to

be able to stand with that once it's... And there's a good example

of the difference between the physiques. Much smaller through the

arms. So he lost the timing. We'll see on the replay as he hits the

bottom, deep squat position. Ideally the lifters want to drive straight

out and we'll see here that it hits him, bosh, can't move. That is hard.

Pretty good overhead. Compensates with his shoulders just because the

hips were a bit further back. So Calja now. This would move him into

second position. The Albanian was 145kg in the

snatch. Well, not the best technically, but

he is strong. So the jerk position leg was a long way back and that

meant he had to take more weight on the front leg and as a result

recover back foot first. Doesn't have to be textbook. It's just got

to go up within the rules of the competition.

The bar stays nice and close to the shins. Knees come back, extends,

drives it up, gets it off the wind pipe.

Dip and drive to arm's length. Pipe. Dip and drive to arm's length. Short

dip, big drive. Mohd of Malaysia. Only 140kg in the

snatch. This lift would put him in seventh. 176kg.

CHEERING Oh, the relief on his face. Well, he

had a real struggle earlier, didn't he? Well, he had a struggle there.

That was far from convincing. First attempt. I wonder how much further

he is able to go. His best was 180kg a while back. But

we were mentioning earlier, when he won the gold medal in Glasgow, they

gave him a house. In Malaysia and I think it was US$3,000. What would

they give him if he won an Olympic Games, hey? Sadly for him, it is a

question that we won't be asking. He's dropped from 180kg down to

177kg. This would put him, briefly, in top

spot. First attempt, 177kg on the bar.

So clearly strong enough on the clean. You can just see he's gone a

bit dizzy after the clean. So he's missed 177kg and just had

the bar across the windpipe. Look at him, he's just pointing to the fact

that he's struggling a bit. Well, if he wants to gain time, he needs to

stay on the platform before he comes off. The loaders are not allowed on

the platform until the lifter is off. So bar on his windpipe. This is

a difficulty you face when you've lost a lot of body weight as well.

It's really hard to execute the jerk when you're feeling dizzy. And at

the moment, unless he goes up in weight, he's going to have to come

back out. So it's still flashing 177kg for

him. There's been no movement in terms of the weight.

Shi of China in the warm-up room just asked the coaches to pop the

weights on. He's ready to make a start in terms of building up to his

opening weight, which apparently is 190kg. And there's the current

standings with a number of the lifters from the B group this

morning still featuring but, of course, we've got 11 lifters active.

You've two minutes if you follow yourself. We're down to about 1

minute and 13 seconds at the moment. There's been no movement from his

coaches. If he's going to come back out... Ben Hnia of Tunisia. The

African Games champion from last year.

Fifth in the World Championship. A best at this discipline at 183kg but

really struggled with that 177kg a moment ago.

Come on now. No. Well, he's going to follow

himself again, I'm fairly sure the coaches won't put the weight up.

He's really struggling with the light headedness. Yeah, he's...

Going to have to come out and nail that to remain in the competition,

to post a total. It's his last lift coming.

Stays close. The clean is good. Stands straight out. Doesn't even

waste any energy. This is the problem. He's up to arm's length but

he's not quite underneath the bar. Instead of pushing himself away, he

needs to drive and split wider, if necessary, to get underneath. Get

the back foot back further - is that what you're saying? No. If anything,

front foot further forward. Typically in the jerks, the lifter

almost backs away from the bar so you want to get further forward to

get underneath. Bar must fall over centre of gravity, which must fall

over base of support. Ismayilov just chilling out in the

warm-up room. He was pretty happy with himself, wasn't he, after the

snatch? Look at that physique. Just magnificent. So we're about to

be inside the last minute. So the third and final attempt.

177kg. Needs this to post a total and he's asking for support.

CHEERING Good on him.

Come on, let's get this bar. One attempt remaining. Come on! He

stands, the clean is good. This time underneath but can't quite hold it.

That's a shame. CHEERING

And then there were ten. That... There's nothing you can do when you

go that dizzy, when you see stars, you see black, you're light-headed.

It's game over. We're down to ten lifters in the A

group and the bar is currently being moved to 180kg for Mendoza of

Mexico. It was a matter of centimetres. If the bar's not

directly over your shoulders and hips, you're going to be struggling.

While all this is going on, the Turks are going to go up as well.

They're all going up! So they've just gone up to 181kg is it? Kingue

of France has had an awfully long weight between attempts. You've got

to keep your wits about you in terms of who's going to lift next when

they all keep rushing out to the table and clearing new weights.

Kingue has been successful at 175kg. His personal best is just 181kg. And

there's 180kg on the bar now. He was well down on his personal

best in the snatch. The judge is looking on.

Steady, steady. Should be OK. It is. Well done.

That puts him into second. So 180kg. As you say, it's almost

forever since he's been out. It's difficult for the athletes to have

to wait so long. Sometimes they do an extra warm-up lift to keep the

legs ticking over. This is the first time we've seen

him in the clean-and-jerk. He's got 181 on the bar, Artykov. With a best

of 188kg, he's clearly stronger in the second part of the lift. Has to

work hard on the clean but the jerk is very solid.

So that moves him into first position for the moment.

I think you'll find the Colombian may beble next out. That's the way

the board appears at the moment but there doesn't appear to be movement

from his coaches. Just keeps it moving, manages to stand, dip and

drive is nice and straight. Covers front foot, back foot. There

has been some movement. It's the Mexican that's out.

Mendoza, 181kg. He missed his first two in the

snatch, managed to arrange into the competition with a 145kg.

Can he hold this? Looks like he can. He's got overhead. He wasn't keen on

the clean. He's not particularly happy with it, is he? It's good

enough to pass for a referee but from a technical point of view, he's

pulling the arms as it comes off the floor. See how hard the bar hits him

at the bottom. That's because he generated no float on the bar. Just

very, very strong. Bosch.

Mistimes. -- Bosh, mistimes, then has to work harder than news to

stand. A bit of an arch in the lower back but he's OK.

And here is the man that led after the snatch. He doesn't look - at

least on paper in terms of his previous bests - he doesn't look as

strong in the clean-and-jerk. He had a one kilogram lead after the

snatch. This is to maintain his position in first for the moment.

And there's 181kg on the bar. Pretty comfortable.

Oh, wastes no time. That is probably the ugliest jerk you're going to see

at this Olympic Games, but who cares? It's gone up, three white

lights. I don't even know what to call that kind of jerk. Was it a

split jerk? Was it a power. Somewhere in between? It was an

Ismayilov jerk. It's an interesting phrase - the

ugliest jerk you'll see at this Olympics. Don't say that to his

face! I think he probably recognises that as well. That's a case of drive

and just get under it somehow. Yeah, don't watch that one back home

and try and copy it. There's only room on the score card

for how much, not how it happened, and he's up there at the moment in

first spot. Now, this lift for Calja would take him into fourth if he's

successful. Again, he's lifting at 181kg.

He's lifted 175kg so far. Second attempt.

Two kilograms off his personal best. Grinds out of the clean. That's

better jerk, much better position, hips under the bar, needs to stand

still and he's got it. Well done.

So 181kg and, of course, when I say he's in fourth position, remember

we're talking about totals here. You can see just at the end there,

the four, is where he sits. A bit short on the extension, but so

fast under, uses the whip of shall shall width of the bar to stand up.

Much, much better jerk than we saw in his previous attempt. Goes for a

walk in the parks before standing still.

Now, Mohd of Malaysia. This is his second attempt. This lift would

bring him from 11th at the moment into sixth position. He had real

struggles with the snatch. Nailed 160kg but then -- 140kg but then

milled his next two attempts. -- missed his next two attempts.

This is a personal best on the bar right now.

By one kilogram. Ooh.

Bad luck. Well, that was very sluggish, very... Lacking sparks

through the middle part of the lift. It's funny. He's had a few failures.

He's never stopped smiling but he's enjoying his games. There's no

change in speed. Hangs on too much, tries to get more height on the bar,

no float and then it's a race between him and the bar to the

bottom, Barwon. -- bar won. So he'll have to come

back out. All the other lifters are going to lift beyond 181kg, or at

least attempt to lift beyond 181kg. What's happening there? So he's

going to go up as well. Is it 182kg? Yeah. Which means that Triyatno, I

think, is down at 182kg as well. Shi was 110kg on the bar, a squat jerk,

clearly warming up OK. Looking pretty good.

So Triyatno of Indonesia. Remember the silver medallist from London.

But he's struggling here. This lift would put him into fifth.

Second attempt at 182kg. Remember, this man is just 69kg himself.

Indeed, slightly less than that. But it's remarkable anyway.

Well, not to be. No, not to be. You may be asking why he's so far down

on his best, which is 188kg. He had knee surgery back in 2013, so we

just don't know how severe that was or how well he actually recovered

from it. When was the 188kg? Olympic Games, 2012. When he picked up the

silver. Just not quite back into that kind

of shape just yet. Still competitive in the A group at

the Olympic Games, though. He's going to have to come back out,

is he? Or is he going up? What's going on there? We're just having a

little look at what's happening here. So we'll come back to that,

because the bar is still at 182kg and Kingue is making his way out.

Third and final attempt. 182kg would represent a personal best for him

and would move him into fifth position.

At every lift, he's waited until the last possible second, hasn't he? He

always has done. Out the back door. But he's still exceeded what he

achieved in London. He's managed to post a total. Which he didn't

achieve in London. Well done. And he'll leave with, um, let me just

double check here... 320kg. And that leaves him in sixth place.

Do yourself an injury. It's a little wonky. That technical

term is contagious. I'm picking up a lot here, I tell you - wonky, dodgy,

skew whiff. So he remains in 11th position.

Oh, buried him at the bottom, didn't it? Just doesn't have the legs to

stand. 316kg his total.

So back with Triyatno at 182kg as well. Currently eighth. This would

move him to fifth. His third Olympic Games. That's a

good clean. Oh, unlucky. Third attempt, not to be. Well, his first

Olympic Games produced a bronze, his second a silver, but no medals this

time around for Triyatno, as he leaves with 317kg as his total.

And he's in eighth place. And now the Colombian, Mosquera,

with 183kg on the board. If he was to be successful, this would move

him into second place. 155kg in the snatch.

Power clean. Well, superpowerful for a very young

man, just 21 years of age. He near enough powered that clean. Power, by

definition, is catching it above a 90-degree knee bend. So he's sitting

in second right now. And, as we've mentioned, battling a

back injury. He'll be having that after the Rio Olympics are over. He

sits in just below parallel but only just. Very, very explosive. Lost of

fast-twitch fibres in those legs. So he needs to decide what he's

going to do next. He's going to move up. He's nominated 187kg. So that

will bring Calja to the platform. 184kg is where the bar is set. It's

his third and final attempt and this would move him into fourth place

forment moment. It would also produce a personal

best for him. Just... No... Never looked switched on. Well, it's

psychological. This game is far more than just being physically strong.

It's being technically proficient but mentally ready and hungry for

these weights. Just lacking in the mental strength department.

He's been a little bit upset too with that left hand. It was bleeding

during the snatch. He won't be feeling that pain right now.

Don't use that as an execution. It's only pain. It's only a rip in the

hand. He looks like he is using it as an excuse. He walked away looking

straight at it. Just not mentally switched on that time around.

OK. So the man that led after the snatch, Ismayilov, is looking to put

himself back into first place. There's 185kg on the bar. This is a

two kilograms personal best for him if he can achieve it.

Are you backing him in? Yeah, I think he's got this. I'm just

looking to see where the other guys are at and whether they can catch

him after the snatch. Second attempt to move himself back

into first position. CHEERING

Was he ever stationary? The referees have given it to him. And he's got

one more lift to come as well. So it was successful at 185kg.

The clean was good. The jerk was just rough. But it went

to arm's length and stayed there which is all that matters. He's

moved to 192kg. He's got to. He's got to push it up. Bearing in mind

now he only has one opportunity. He's put it right up to bring

everybody else into the competition to see what's needed. I'm looking at

the scoreboard and the man in question is six kilograms down after

the snatch and body weight down so he needs to outlift Ismayilov by

seven kilograms. Ismayilov has just done 185kg so he

needs a 192kg. My gut feeling is he'll get one lift in and then go

for it. So Mendoza. This to move himself into third if he can be

successful. There's 187kg on the bar.

That's one kilo under his personal best. He does have another attempt

after this. Come on now. Again, it decks him at

the bottom. Well, he's got some thinking to do.

In terms of what he does next. He had a recorded 181kg at the clean

and jerk. He's just missed a 187kg. What does he feel he's capable of?

Because he's only got one lift left now.

You can see the hips so far behind the bar. He puts his hips and lower

back under stress. Good luck trying to hold that. It's safer to let go.

And we still haven't seen Shi Zhiyong or the lifter from North

Korea. The coach just flapping the towel there to try and create some

air movement. It's pretty warm here in the venue. There's Kim Myong

Hyok. He would have been ready to come out. Shi of China would have

been ready as well. But the competition was slowed down by

Mendoza taking the same weight again. That slows the competition

down. The lifters have to be ready but they have to be prepared to wait

a couple of minutes if something like this happens.

So Mendoza is trying to put himself at least for the moment into medal

contention. This would put him into third.

And quite obviously, as you can see there, his last attempt.

Fourth right now. Who knows what will happen ahead of

him? Yep. And you were shaking your head

up here in the commentary position. He just never looked convincing. And

just the lack of timing on the clean. Pulls with his arms. And I

think if you saw that in really slow motion, you'll see that there's

hardly any upward momentum on the bar from when he starts to change

direction. That's why it hits him so hard at the bottom. Just takes so

much out of you to try and stand with a dead weight. The bar is

clearly on his wind pipe. Not breathing there. When you put that

much effort in, you're gonna get a rush to the head. We're getting to

the business end of the competition. Shi Zhiyong of China. This lift to

put him in first position. 188 kilos. A wonky starting position.

Works for him. So strong in the legs.

Here comes the squat jerk. There it is.

And if you're good enough in your shoulders, if you have that

flexibility, and you have the leg strength that Shi clearly does to

stand up from that deep squat position again, then you can get

away with it. So, he's out in front. The split jerk much more common. But

talk us through the squat jerk. Well, theoretically, this is

actually more efficient. Theoretically, you should be able to

lift more with this kind of technique. The problem is very few

people have the shoulder flexibility to be able to get into that

position, with the hands quite close, and the leg strength to stand

up again. This lift would take him to third

position. 188. He was behind after the snatch.

Oh, that's tough. That is impressive. No! I don't know. I

think he may have failed that. He's celebrating as if he's got it. Two

to one against. Reason being, he landed it in a solid position but

then bent his elbows as he recovered. Error. And he knew he had

done it. That's why he celebrated the way he did. Tried to convince

the referees. And we'll just see this little elbow flex in a moment.

So, it was the elbow furthest away from us. That's good. There's

nothing wrong there. There. It bent. Artykov. This would put him into

third position. Whoa. That's a tough clean.

And he fights it. Can he push? Keeps pushing. Good job. Third place at

the moment. Good on him. Gee, that was a struggle.

He's just holding his back. One attempt remaining. He may need this

last lift to stay on the podium. Worked so hard to stand. Just the

hands. And very aggressive in the jerk phase. Sometimes you've just

gotta dig deep and find that aggression from somewhere.

Just pacing around the warm-up room. He's now sitting and waiting. Down

in second place, though, at the moment. Kim Myong Hyok of North

Korea, missed with his first attempt.

A little glance at the clock. That's better.

No. I tell you what, this could open things right up, if he misses again.

He's not a happy chappy right now. He's now got one lift left remaining

in the competition. And he's following himself. Yeah. So, he's

gotta be back out here within two minutes. Oh, he's decided to move

up. Well. Nothing to lose. All to gain. He's moving up probably to buy

himself a bit more time. Just land this jerk OK, there's a couple more

kilos there, but... But if you've missed 188 twice, then obviously to

increase the bar, it's a risky strategy. It's risky, but if he

takes that, he could end up being out of the medals. He's come here

for one reason and one reason only - he wants something shiny. So,

currently in second position, this to take him to first. He led after

the snatch with 163. And right now has 188 on the bar.

And this is his final lift. Five kilos up on any weight he

previously posted. This is big. It will make a statement, though,

give them something to chase. Can he? No. Oh!

Good on him. Wow. Some focus there. Six out of six lifts. And I hope he

ends up on the podium. The most consistent lifter of this

competition today. Could not ask any more of himself. He's got to wait

now and see where he finishes. Really good clean. Nice and strong.

Forget how ugly the jerk is, just watch the arms. It goes nicely to

arm's length. So, right now he holds a one-kilo lead. So, one fingernail

on the gold medal. But he will need some things to go his way.

Shi, 350. Where's the Colombian? 339. The Colombian is down at 338,

in fourth. Here we go. What weight has been posted there? Let me see.

This is where you've gotta be careful, when the Colombian's got

carried away. Putting some big weights on the bar now. 189.

Where is he? The clock is ticking. 45 seconds. He's on his way. Yep.

They're moving around now. So, a lift to take him from fourth

to third, to put himself into medal contention.

Second attempt. It's been a long wait.

But he's still got another shot. He has, but he's gotta force Artykov

out for his third attempt first. And if successful, Mosquera may need to

take another couple of kilos. The clean was explosive, stood up

strong. Tried to catch it too high. This

weight is too heavy now, he needs to drop lower. Artykov has gone up to

190. Oh, no! This is... This is gamesmanship. This is nasty. He's

thrown it straight back to Mosquera in the hope that he cannot recover

quick enough. 42 seconds on the clock for Mosquera. Has he even

noticed that he's been called? I don't know. So, the bar is at

1896789 -- 189. He's gone up. He's gone up to 190 as well. So, now it's

back to... The Chinese lifter, if he doesn't choose to go up. And he's

not. So, Shi Zhiyong... This is just enough now to regain the lead. He's

playing a sensible game. The other lifters left in the competition I

don't think can challenge him overall. I think this is your gold

medal lift. Is that right? You don't think they're gonna...? No. From the

total, I'm pretty sure this is gonna be the gold medal lift to secure him

victory. The others may outclean-and-jerk him, but it's

irrelevant. There's no clean and jerk medals. I don't think they can

catch him after the snash. -- snatch. So, a second attempt at 190.

To put him into first place. Could well be the gold medal lift.

And, remember, he's still gotta lift up his sleeve. Oh, how impressive is

that? Well, I'm fairly sure you're witnessing your Olympic champion

right there. Don't hold me to it, there's still a couple of lifters

left - anything it possible. He's pretty happy with himself either

way. I think he feels the same as you, that he's got enough up his

sleeve. 190 for a total of 352. The only guy that can catch him is Myong

of Peep's Republic of Korea. He's missed -- People's Republic of

Korea. He's missed two clean and jerks so far. So straight in that

position. Flat feet. Brilliant squat jerk. And after the gap in the

snatch... A bit of a toying around for position, and jockeying. And

this lift that we're about to see is for third place, to move Mosquera

from fourth to third. It's a good clean again. Needs to

drop lower under the bar now. For a shot at a bronze medal, potentially.

Oh! When the bar is on your wind pipe and you can't see much, so

frustrating. There's just nothing you can do. So, Mosquera stays in

fourth position. Remember, Ismayilov has finished his lifting. He's at

351. He's a kilo behind our leader. But he doesn't have a lift left. No.

But he's in second place so far. I think he's probably gonna stay

there. Artykov is coming out. Oh, hang on a

minute. Have you seen the scoshed? -- the scoreboard? 196 - is that

right? Yeah. 196. Equal to the... No, no, no. This is going to be -

yes, it is. Equal to the Olympic record. And an attempt at getting

into the medals. It would only bring him to - because

his snatch was only 151. He was well behind. So, this would bring him

into third position. So, my goodness me. Myong has gone from missing 188

twice, he's gone to 196. He's going eyeballs out, attempting the weight

for the gold medal. This competition is not over yet.

So, this is some eight kilos beyond his personal best. It would equal

the Olympic record. It's an attempt to get into the

bronze medal position and it's gonna be a real struggle. No. Well, he's

hurt himself there now as well. The previous attempt, I think, was on a

limit. And he was holding his back after his previous attempt as well.

He's gonna get some ice on that. It's gonna be sore for a few days.

Well, this is a huge lift now. From Myong. This is a huge lift.

Ismayilov is celebrating because he is guaranteed a place on the

proceedum. So, just to put some perspective into this lift of Kim

Myong Hyok of North Korea, if he lifts it, he's in gold medal

position for the moment, because there's still another lift for a

Chinese competitor. Is there not? Yes. Yeah, China has still got one

more. So, if he lifts this, he would be in first. But if he misses it,

he's off the podium, he's out of the competition. Eight kilos above

anything he's done on the international stage before. This is

massive. He's all in. And he's... Oh! And he's out. China have the

gold. Guaranteed a gold medal now, whether he comes back out and lifts

or not. Well, they have one more attempt remaining. He's posted 198.

He's coming out. Is he gonna take 198? That equals the world clean and

jerk record. And sets a new Olympic record.

So, this would be a new world record total.

Is my maths right? Yep, your math assist right. Your math ss is spot

on -- your maths is spot on. So, the gold medallist is on screen. Right

now. He's looking to add a massive exclaimation mark into his place in

history with a new world record and a new Olympic record.

Come on, now. Oh! How easy was that? Can he stand? Oh! Oh, it was close!

It was oh, so close. But he's a gold medallist. No record tonight. But he

came out, he didn't have to, he came out and had a crack. Well, Olympic

champion, and he looks disappointed. That frustration will turn to

smiles. And in the end, just the one-kilo difference between he and

Ismayilov, the Turkish lifter. He takes the silver after the

all-or-nothing attempt from the North Korean. It was a big risk,

wasn't it? It was a huge risk. The North Korean clearly only came for

one medal. And we should also point out that... Artykov has - he does,

yes. He has the bronze medal. At 339. So, that really is a statement

in terms of the mindset of the man from North Korea, it was, "I don't

want anything other than gold." Because he could have lifted

something - you could suggest, he could have lifted something to get

himself ahead of 339. It was a great story that Shi has

won the gold medal for China. Because he's the reigning world

champion and was hoping to follow in the footsteps of his namesake, who

won the very same division. What an incredible story at the 2004

Olympics in Athens. He said in an interview, he didn't know anything

about the previous one, but when he grew up and became a weightlifter,

came to know the history of the previous Shi, put a lot of pressure

on him. He won the world title in Houston last year. Many

congratulations to Shi. Let's bring you up to date with

what's been happening in the women's football. Clouma versus USA is the

-- Columba versus USA is the game we're focusing on. They have been at

every gold medal match since 1996. They also won the World Cup last

year. They really are the team to beat. Tonight, Colombia gave it a

go. Pugh putting the Americans 2-1 up.

USA already through to the last stage, but look at this. Dramatic

equaliser in the last minute of the game. Catalina, her second goal of

the game. But the United States have already qualified. But great scenes

there. the game. But the United States have

already qualified. But great scenes there.

Let's bring you right up to date with tonight's headlines.

Another big shock in the tennis as Wimbledon champion and world number

one Serena Williams beaten in straight sets by Ukraine's Elina

Svitolina. Serena won singles and doubles in London four years ago.

Has now been knocked out of both events in Rio.

Konta reached the quarterfinals with a victory over Kuznetsova. She plays

Kerber next. Much easier, I am pleased to report,

for Andy Murray. A straight-sets win over Monaco. Took the spot in the

last 16 in his place to defend his Olympic title he won in London.

Sadly, Great Britain could not end an 88 yeemple wait for an Olympic

medal in the women's -- 88-year wait for an Olympic medal in the women's

team gymnastics. Simone - the first of what she hopes

will be five medals in these Games. In the rugby sevens, Great Britain's

men got their campaign under way with a win over Kenya and a

hard-fought victory over Japan. Who had earlier surprisingly beaten New

Zealand. Sonny Bill Williams out of the Games with an injury.

Yep. It only comes around every four years, so do not go to bed. Stay on

the sofa. Have years, so do not go to bed. Stay on

the sofa. Have a great night with us.

Stay up or set the alarm for one of the great Olympic showdowns. All

eyes on GB's Andrew Willis and Craig Benson in the semifinals of the

men's 200m breaststroke. That's at around 3:03. O'Connor goes for gold

in the 4 x 200m individual medley final. Let's take you to the Olympic

quotic Stadium. It hosts the swimming competitions of water polo

finals. It has two swimming pools, one for the events and the other for

warming up. The structure is temporary and will be dismantled

after the Games. Good evening, Helen.

Good evening. Yes, alongside me, Becky. And you might be thinking,

Andy Jamieson. Good, we've let you out of your commentary box to look

ahead to tonight's racing, because this could be the most fiercely

fought contest of the competition so far. And the Brits are in and

amongst it for medals, especially this lady.

We are like a little family. Some of us have swum together for years. I

have swum with Chris and Andrew for pretty much as long as I have been

in the national centre. We are literally really, really close. And

having Jess in the group as well, we push each other. I think it's

brilliant we have such a good group. It's definitely a family environment

and we all want each other to do well. It's so nice that we get to go

to Rio together, because we are there for each other throughout the

whole year. And then going over there together, we'll be there for

each other whatever happens. That's really important in

day-to-day training as well. I don't think any of us could do it on our

own. Definitely not. It is such a hard sport. And the training is

rickedzly intense. I think we all help each other, push each other on.

We are all competitive. I don't think we'd be who we are out being

competitive. We've all got that competitive streak.

In London, it was just amazing. It was the best two weeks of my life. I

think for any athlete, a home Olympic Games is a dream come true.

You know, I was really young, so I didn't think I was gonna make the

team. When I did, it was just an absolute whirlwind. I was very lucky

that I was able to swim in the Olympic final of the relay. And that

was brilliant. That was just a dream come true. It gave me that hunger to

kind of want to go and do it again when I'm a bit older and I'm

swimming quicker times now, so I'm hoping that this time in Rio I will

be able to be in amongst it more, and hopefully swim well. Yeah.

The Commonwealth Games was absolutely incredible. It was a

dream week, really. You know, I couldn't have asked for it to go

better. It was great being able to do another home-type Games. You

know, it was in Scotland and I had most of my friends and family there.

It was brilliant because we still had the UK home advantage. And I

think it's definitely given me a lot of confidence, you know, that week

was amazing. But the team, like, as well, we did really, really well.

And I think the British swimming team have been on a massive roll

since that. We put in good performances at all the major meets

we have been going to. We're in a good place going into Rio. Fingers

crossed we can keep it going. Now, there's a lot of love and

respect for O'Connor from this table. Becky, just talk us through

why she's such an impressive young woman? I think at 16, going to a

home Olympics, not expecting to go, really. She made it on the 100m

breaststroke and she just loved that experience. It was nice to share

that Olympic Games with her, really. She's just come on so much since

then. She's grown up so much. Even tactically, the way she approaches

her races now, she used to go out a little bit too crazy and hang on.

Whereas she's kind of learnt the event now and she really brings

everything into it. Her skills are some of the best in the world. Her

start is absolutely incredible. So, tonight she is gonna be up there,

because her butterfly is good. For Siobhan, her backstroke is probably

the weak one. It's gonna be interesting, because then her

breaststroke is amazing. The Hungarian, one of the most dominant

swimmers in the world, she's already got two golds at this Olympic Games.

We should have seen her this morning, but what happened and what

does that say about Siobhan? Interesting, because she pulled out

of the it honey fly before the heat. What is interesting -- 200 fly

before the heat. She's the iron lady. She can do everything. She can

race, race, race around the world. She's pulled out before racing

O'Connor. I think she's slightly worried about her. Yeah, she was on

the start list, we expected to see her. We've interpreted that as she's

running scared. Is that fair to say? Absolutely. What is fascinating,

though, is the freestyle leg will be very, very interesting. Because

Siobhan is a very good freestyler, but her competitor is a fantastic

400m. I'm not sure we've seen her on the 200. Full credit to oconyr,

because she has a lot of illness in the pool, but she's in phenomenal

form. She's had a lot of illness, injury, loads of problems with her

back. She's had a tough couple of years, but she's stayed at the top

of her game. When it comes to major meets, she delivers. She does step

up, relish the atmosphere and gets stuck in. She doesn't run scared

when she's next to the Iron Lady at all. Siobhan is like, "Why can't she

be beaten?" I love that attitude. We have to talk about Chad. We saw him

in the semifinals of the 200m butterfly last night. And in the

semifinals, he came head to head with the great Michael Phelps. Have

a look at what happened in the room just before they went out to race.

Phelps has always let his swimming do the talking! Look, he's growling

like a dog! This is great television! It's great television!

Look at his face! It's Phelps' face. He goes, like this angry... He's

hilarious. This is a rivalry that was sparked in London, when Chad

nicked his scalp for the 200 butterfly. He had never lost it for

a decade. This is a real battle, isn't it? Yeah. What's interesting

is there has been a lot of verbals. At the World Championships last

year, Chad was on it, doing very well. Phelps wasn't there and he

said, "The 200 fly is pretty slow at the moment. My event, I'm a 200 fly

guy." Chad went back, boom, boom. Then he went really fast on the 100.

That was the old, "Come on, then." And Phelps' face!!

LAUGHS There's so much trash-talking out of

the pool. We're gonna see that one a little later on. Also, a quick word

on the relay. Because the British boys looked in good form?

Unbelievable. They've still got James to put into that. Stephen

Milne, Daniel Wallace in there. I forgot his name... Duncan Scott.

Duncan Scott, who swum amazing this morning. Then James at the end.

Interesting. Definitely a medal contention. Great to see how Duncan

Scott backs up this morning, because of a phenomenal swim from the young

Scott. We'll see him later on. And the boys in that relay. And, of

course, O'Connor. We'll be back with you in half an

hour. Hoping to talk to Bert as well. Phelps and he, they looked

like two boxers going into a heavyweight clash, didn't they?

Let's take a swin around to see what you -- swing around to see what you

can watch right now. Volleyball, Germany against the Netherlands.

Germany have a slender lead in the opening game. We've got a little bit

of table tennis and hockey available for you tonight. So, on the red

button, you can now watch this match. On the red putton. Belgium

against Australia. Australia strongly fancied to win the gold

medal. But Belgium lead by a goal to nil.

But if you fancy a little bit of table tennis, then how about this?

This is taking place right now. It's men's quarters. That's on your red

button. And also, if you don't fancy a

little bit of beach volleyball and you fancy the conventional game,

indoor volleyball, that's available for you right now. That's online at

our BBC app, Cuba against Egypt. Well, over the past few evening, we

have been showing you some fantastic Olympic sports. One of the most

exciting at the Olympics, of course, handball.

Olympic handball is a fast-flowing, high-scoring, body contact game

which is played over two halves of 30 minutes. It's played by two teams

of seven players, six outfield players and a goalkeeper. Each goal

is surrounded by a semischolar area. Only the defending goalkeeper is

allowed in this area. Players can move with the ball by dribbling and

passing in the same way that a basketball player would. They can

block the ball with their head, chest, thighs and knees, but players

cannot stand still with the ball for more than three seconds at a time.

If a player commits a foul, the referee can award a free throw or a

seven metres shot. It's taken from the seven metres line and is given

when the referee rules that someone has prevented a goal-scoring

opportunity. A free throw is like a free kick in

football and is general taken from the spot where the foul occurred.

But it's taken from the free throw line if it happens inside this area.

Overtime is only played during the knockout phase if scores are tied at

the end of eggulation time. If this happens, teams play five minutes'

extra and only play another five minutes if the score is still tied.

If the teams are still tied at the end of this overtime period, the

result is decided by a shoot-out. Well, one of the best teams at the

Games are Sweden. They won the silver medal in London 2012. But

interesting story - and they got to Brazil via the Olympic qualification

tournament in April. So, let's see how they get on against Egypt. 22-22

in the second half, around ten minutes

how they get on against Egypt. 22-22 in the second half, around ten

minutes remaining. Gingerly passing the ball around. 13

turnovers suffered by Sweden. That's a product of the defence that

Egypt have put up against them, which is really aggressive. Very

quick right up against them. Oh! What a shot! Elahmar lets rip with a

missile shot. And they're in front. Egypt leads Sweden. Oh, put it back

down again. I think he was off-balance and was about to fall.

Look at this. Andersson, who was just a draft to him. Got his fingers

to it, but there was too much four. -- power. Wonderful reaction from

Elahmar. Time out called by Sweden. Let's listen in.

He was taking too long with his team, trying to get the tactics out.

The teams return. For what should be an intense last eight minutes of

this match. Iilsson has moved into the centre.

Again, he fumbles the ball a bit, Lucas Nilsson. All the way through.

That's nicely done. A little sidestep and Gotingco gets hits

second. They're back -- and Gott, from ridsson gets his

Sweden after this have to play Poland, Brazil and Germany. While

for Sweden, it's no easier, Slovenia, Poland and Brazil as well.

It's gonna be a very tight group, with only the top four teams going

through to the quarterfinal. Defeat here will really put their

backs to the wall, whichever side will fail to get the points. Frankly

said, points won't be a great result either, formula group where

everything counts, everything. So, Elahmar still relatively static.

Straight down the middle. Kim Andersson looks to the right.

There's a chance now for an overlap. Yes! Quickly taken up. Moved it up.

And Kim... In fact, Lukas Nilsson, rather. I'm getting carried away.

The back player raced ahead. A bit of a slap in the face. Kept his

composure. After that little slap, I'm afraid,

that a player has got himself sent off. Sweden wrestle the lead back

again and have a power play. The foul by Gottfridsson on Elahmar.

The 32-year-old legendary captain of the Egyptian team. Five World

Championships and this his third Olympics. Trying to push up a bit.

Here he comes. Oh, goes down. Looks to the referee and a handshake from

Kim Andersson there. He realises he caught him high.

Elahmar slows things down a little built, because he hasn't got his

mobility here. Clearly suffering. Oh! What a shot!

It's so unconventional. They're catching out the Swedes again and

again. At the one end with a deep defence.

Gottfridsson's shirt ripped. Luckily they've got a spare, but he's

struggling to get it on. Meanwhile, they're attacking short handed.

Five minutes remaining. It's all square between Egypt and Sweden.

Into the wing. Oh! Good save! 25-year-old keeper plays for

Al-Gaesh, six in the Egyptian Leigh. Gets his leg to it in frustration.

And Egypt are back to full strength again. They've done well. They've

weathered the storm while they were short handed. It's still all square.

The saves nine now for the combined Andersson and Appelgren. Four for

the Egyptian keepers. Elahmar. Into the line. Well intercepted. Lucky,

Mohamed was quick to pick up the loose ball. Nilsson dived for it but

he got there first. Very quick, indeed, Mohamed. Plays

in the United Arab Emirates. 19 goals last year.

Top scorer, of course, was Elahmar. He had 27. Indeed the last four

minutes. Into the wing. It's over the top! He was inside anyway. A

chance really missed there. Abouebaid. Gottfridsson got

sandwiched on the way around. Oh, a little bit of a confrontation there.

Nothing serious, though. He did slap down on him.

So, play resumes. Cool heads required now in these last 3.5

minutes by both teams. Still Egypt with its deep defence. No way

through there for Petersen into the wing. There's no space either there.

A suspension for Egypt. And off goes El-Masry. He got two two-minute

suspensions in the opening game. Here he is again, holding on to

Nilsson. Well, he's holding him. He probably says, "Well, this happens

all the time in the game." Wasn't shirt-pulling. He goes off rather

reluctantly. But the clock has been stopped. It makes no difference.

Three minutes and five seconds of the game remaining.

And Egypt will be short handed for two minutes of those.

Oh! Good save again! Khalil coming into his own late on in the game. A

great play by the 25-year-old. A little crossover. N waiting on

this side here. Briefly took the goalkeeper out. They've got him back

in again now. Waiting there for Elahmar. Still one

minute before Egypt are back to full strength again.

Oh! And a two-minute suspension now. And Sweden will finish the match

short handed. We're inside the last two minutes. And Nilsson gets his

second two-minute suspension. Mind you, that's academic, because he

won't be coming back to play. Surely it looked as if the player had lost

his footing before. But it's the way it is. So, both teams short handed

for the next 52 seconds. But then Egypt will have a chance to finish

the game on a power play. It could just turn it for them. Elahmar

looking for the options. Went in. The captain didn't quite

connect with him, and he takes the shot. And that could be the turning

point. Team time out for Sweden. Last one for them.

We'll listen in. All the emotion.

LAUGHS The game so far, so 1.5 minutes

remaining. Egypt about to get a power play. Oh, yes! It's back

again! Courtesy of the left back, Lukas Nilsson. Fourth goal for him,

and of the 19-year-old kept his head. Went between the defenders and

under the keeper for the shot. It's all square again. 25-25. One minute

left. And now it's a power play for Egypt.

Nine players moved up to stand in front of Elahmar. Two on the line

now. Mohamed waiting on the far side. Into the wing, there's no

space for the pass there. Two on the line again. Takes the shot. They've

stopped the clock with 35 secs. And Mohamed can't believe it. And

Andersson... Two-minute suspension, is it? No. It's for Nilsson. -- it's

for Jesper Nielsen. Well, well, well, drama at the end. And another

team time out for Egypt. Andersson is suspended.

Well, drama here in Rio. In this Group B match. Now Sweden are

staring at another defeat. Play about to resume after team time out

for Egypt. And Sweden. With a double suspension now.

Nielsen is off and now also Kim Andersson. And surely a great chance

now, with 35 seconds to go, for Egypt to score a winning goal here.

Ramadan. No rush. It's longer than you think. This would be an historic

win for Egypt. Really put them in a good position

to go through to the quarterfinals. Intense at the back in goal. Trying

to make it long but there won't be a chance now... Yes! Egypt are in

front! Incredible scenes. Elbassiouny runs off. Sweden now

looking for the equaliser. Seconds ticking away. And it's blocked! And

Egypt for the first time have beaten Sweden! Incredible scenes. He jumps

up on the bench! The Swedes can't believe it. The double suspension

handed Egypt the chance to score. And it came courtesy of the

25-year-old Elbassiouny. Stefan Olson can't believe it. Walks away.

Forlorn. Sanad with seven goals. Top-scored for Egypt. Set them up

beautifully. Elahmar couldn't be as influential for the team, but he

didn't need to be. They all pulled together. Sweden, dejected. Their

chances of going through to the quarterfinal take a severe knock

here. Well, these are the Olympic moments that you really remember.

What a fantastic night for Egyptian handball. They now take on Poland

and Brazil, and the top four qualify from Group A and Group B. So, Egypt

have a fantastic chance of qualifying for the quarterfinals.

And Sweden's future in this Rio Olympics hangs in the balance.

Well, let's bring you a little bit of men's hockey now, because GB have

been taking on Brazil. Let's find out how they get on.

Lots of noise from the Brazilian fans. They'd love their side to get

a goal. That's the one thing they haven't done so far in the

tournament. Conceded 19, scored none. Great Britain penalised.

Michael Hall not backing away the requisite five yards. Talking about

Brazil wanting a goal. Is this their first chance?

Flicked inside. Scores! Oh, my word. What a start! He nails it for

Brazil. Their first goal of the Olympics. Brazil, 1, Great Britain,

0. Coming forward now. Over the top. Flicks it forward. They're looking

for a a shooting opportunity. Here's one. Good save. That's too good.

That's a goal for Great Britain. Here, underneath the ball, over the

top of the glove, in for the equaliser.

Middleton inside the circle. Might go for the reverse and scores.

Comfortable goal. Barry Middleton finds the back of the net. And Great

Britain lead Brazil by two goals to one.

Ashley Jackson. Scores! Great Britain, 3-1 in front. The penalty

corner expert back on the field. And he makes it pay immediately.

Taking it shoulder-high. There's a real scramble going on there. It's

found the babbling of the net. It's a goal for Great Britain -- the back

of the net. It's a goal for Great Britain. What a mess that was. But

it's Harry Martin who gets the score. Harry Middleton just in front

of the goal. Oh, it's a terrific strike. And abbrilliant goal from

Sam Ward. Great Britain, 5-1 in front now. Now, Great Britain with

9.5 minutes to go, are pulling their keeper. They're going to an 11-man

outfield unit. They know they need goals.

It's flicked. It's a goal for Barry Middleton. Middleton's second.

Here's the goal. Beautifully finished that time by Mark. Oh,

that'sal lovely move forward. Middleton tries to lob the keeper.

That's a penalty strike on the line. That's been drilled past his feet.

Absolutely nailed the cover defender. Jackson top corner.

Brazil, 1. Great Britain, 8. Brazil still looking for the goal as

they get towards the circle. Push forward.

Left-hand on the stick. Jackson, plenty of pace, all the way to the

circle. Back and across the field. And finished. And that is a score

for Sam Ward. Super strike from Jackson. Get the blade on it. Sam

Ward, on his nose as we so often see, he's the man if you want

someone to get yourself in the danger area, he's the one to get

there. Brazil, 1, Great Britain, 9. We don't know whether a goal

difference will make a difference or not, so we obviously wanted to keep

scoring some goals. The last ten minutes I just felt that Brazil had

tired because they had to do so much defending they actually became less

of a threat in attack. That was why we could do it and that's why we

could put another player up front. Didn't want to do it much earlier,

but, yeah, that was the reason. What have you made of the progress so

far? Obviously there was disappointment of the first match

against Belgium. Bit better against New Zealand. Has it been

progression, in your mind? I think it has. Without a doubt, we were

poor in the first game. A lot of soul-searching after that. Even the

New Zealand game, we improved a lot but were disappointed with a lot of

our play. But we're getting better. Obviously tonight is a very

different game to the rest of the tournament. Confident we can still

play our best hockey. So, Great Britain recovering from a

surprise Brazil opener. Brazil leading at one stage. Ranked 30th in

the world. Completely outplayed in the end by GB. Third in the table

after losing to Belgium and a draw with New Zealand.

OK, it is time for a little bit of live ping-pong. Because we've

reached the quarterfinals of the men's singles. And the favourite for

the gold medal is China's Long. He has been world number one since

March 2015. The reigning and World Cup champion. Just needs an Olympic

gold to complete the set. He's playing a Nigerian player, Quadri.

Your match commentator, Donald Parker.

The Nigerian going for the topspin down the line. Didn't quite make it.

Fairly prolonged applause there. Obviously maybe the nerves creeping

in even for Ma Long. The final of the Olympic Games, the one title

that's eluded him. China lead 4-3. Second serve coming

up. Oh, he's so strong. He can lean and

still get in with a strong forehand topspin. So powerful on both wings.

The complete player. Even when he's stretching, he can

still get power into the shot. The serve drifted long from Aruna

Quadri. And Ma Long now beginning to dominate this first game. Leads 7-3.

The Nigerian coach there looking on. His player started well but Ma Long

has dominated the last four or five points.

8-3. The world's number one, the number one seed here, pulling away

from the Nigerian challenger. 8-3. First game. Best of seven

games. First player to win four going through to the semifinal.

Backspin on the serve there. Used his wrists. Ma Long came underneath

the ball. Imparted heavy backspin. Aruna Quadri just not quite lifting

the spin sufficiently. Ma Long will be a lot more

comfortable now. Always a bit nerve-racking, the first few points.

Oh! Not only did he block that back, but he used elbow and wrist and put

topspin on the ball as well. Six game points for Ma Long.

Forehand topspin out wide to the Nigerian player's forehand. And the

first game to Ma Long, 11-4. Ma Long leads by one game to nil.

Players now taking advice from the coaches. And certainly the Nigerian

coach, plenty to say. 11-4, first game, Ma Long.

Confirmation on screen. UMPIRE: Second game. Ma Long to

serve. Second game. Ma Long of China to

serve. He leads by one game to nil. Very difficult to win points against

Ma Long when he's up at the table playing topspins and you're away

from the table. Aruna Quadri there doing his best.

And doing very well. But not quite good enough to win the point.

Long serve deep into the backhand of Aruna Quadri. Stepped around, didn't

lift the spin. And the ball into the bottom of the net.

That's where Ma Long is so strong. He makes a good topspin. Aruna

Quadri plays an excellent counter topspin, but Ma Long is able to get

across the table so quickly against most players, that was a winner from

the Nigerian player, not against the world champion. Quick on his feet.

Very quickly around the backhand there to play that forehand topspin

straight down the line as well. Down the line is difficult. It's a

shorter target to aim for. The serve took Aruna Quadri

completely by surprise there. He thought he was going short. He

stepped into the table and then a rocket came on the diagonal into his

body. Playing the angles ever so well, Ma

Long. The serve drifted long from Aruna Quadri. And Ma Long pounces on

the opportunity. Fast forehand topspin back into the body of Aruna

Quadri. 9-1. The world champion races into

the lead. And Aruna Quadri just pointing out the ball is cracked.

It's interesting that the ball has changed from what was a celluloid

ball to now a plastic ball. Ma Long leads 10-1. Nine game

points. Forehand topspin from wide on the

backhand for Ma Long, and a comfortable 11-2 victory for the

world's number one player. Aruna now makes his way back to the Nigerian

coach. And between them they have a tough task in front of them.

That's a great start then for Ma Long. That match continues on the

red button. So, if you want to continue watching the table tennis,

press red now. In the meantime, we are now going to

concentrate on the women's football, because it's a big night for Brazil.

They're taking on - forget Neymar, this tournament is very much about

Marta. Samba, sunshine and soccer - that's

Rio in three words. In a country where football is a way of life for

all the family, you might be surprised to hear that the Brazilian

women's national team is beset with rows over contracts and a lack of

investment. But they haven't let that hold them back. Their squad is

sparkling with stars. They swept China away even before the Games had

officially opened. 3-0, the score. A record goal scorer in Olympic

history, adding another to her tally in the dying minutes of the game.

Next came Sweden, a tougher task. The Swedish lead is one of the best

in the world. But there was a race. Two goals for five-time world player

of the year, Marta, and another for Krist acres, n, stretching her

Olympic rrd to 14. Brazil topped their group, with the men struggling

to qualify, drawing most recently with Iraq. It's over to the girls.

Yes, it's Brazil taking on South Africa. Marta is better than Neymar,

the fans have been chanting. The five-time World Player of the Year

led her side to their second consecutive win in front of fans in

Rio. They're taking on South Africa. The stadium built for the 2014 FIFA

World Cup. The stadium hosting six matches in the group stages of the

football tournament. The city, of course, in the Amazon Rainforest.

And the match is gonna be live on the red button very shortly. So, if

you want Brazil against South Africa in the women's football tournament,

press red now. # The heat is on

# # The heat is...

# On. #

Yes. We're heading back to the Olympic Aquatic Stadium, located at

the Olympic Park at the heart of the games. Helen, I hear you have a very

special guest? We We do. We have a very world-famous guest, but also a

very nervous guest. Bert is getting ready to watch his son, Chad, defend

his Olympic title. A title he won four years ago. It's fair to say -

it's a complete understatement to say that since then life for the

family has been a real roller-coaster.

Everything was that perfect moment. You know, on 31 July 2012, my dream

came true. You have to remember, Michael Phelps was unbeaten in that

for a decade. Chad took that away from him. I never expected him to

win a pedal. I have to pinch myself. It was nobody. We were nobody. There

was no pressure.ment expectation was zero.

COMMENTATOR: Michael Phelps, I think, is gonna win. Is he gonna

create history by winning this race for the third time in a row? Chad Le

Clos is chasing him. I don't think he got it. He did not get it, oh, my

goodness me, Chad Le Clos got the gold. I was a 20-year-old kid,

getting thrown in the deep end efficient everything. I didn't know

how to be famous. You can never prepare yourself for the different

angles that will come at you. It became a whirlwind. It slowly

spiralled out of control. Here is Chad's father, Bert. Unbelievable.

What a performance! Unbelievable. He's the most down-to-earth,

beautiful boy you ever meet in your life. His celebrity status went to

another level. "You're on the telly. Can I have a photograph with you?"

I'm like Kim Kardashian. It's ridiculous! Chad changed his life.

Our bond is unbelievable. We are the best, best, best, best, best

friends. Yeah, he's a good father. Bert has been diagnosed with early

stages of prostate cancer. The moment that he told me, really, was,

uh, a few months ago. You know, he came and he just sat us all down and

it was quite hard for me, because sometimes it's overwhelming. You

know? You don't expect it to be, uh, you know, your dad or anybody that

you know. He's lost 30 kilos, in, what, six, seven months. For my dad

to lose 30 kilos, you must understand how much my dad loves

eating. There's my food. Look at his. So, what's happened is, um,

it's come as a complete shock, because I had felt a lump, and I

was, like, "No. " I checked it, felt it, felt it. It was a big lump.

Having this happen at this time is terrible. You know, I would rather

have my mum and my dad be healthy than win any gold medal.

It's definitely been the most difficult few months of my life, you

know? Family-wise, everything else, the swimming, the pressure from the

Olympic Games, it's all kind of come together. But in saying that, I feel

like I've never trained as marred as I am now. You know -- as hard as I

am now. You know, if you're swimming for something bigger than yourself,

you'll achieve great things. I always swim for my family and my

support. I feel at the end of the day, I will make them proud. Win,

lose or draw, I will make them proud. It's fair to say the world

fell in love with your son and your family in 2012. I know a lot of

people are wondering how are you, how sl Geraldine, both dealing with

cancer? It's not about me. People who know about prostate cancer, it's

something that most people die, from. Anyway, I had it out because

of circumstances, because of Rio. I'm not gonna - it's all about my

wife. My wife is all right. She's gonna be all right. She's doing

chemo. It isn't easy. Anybody who knows about cancer and chemo, it's

horrific. Don't wish it on your worst enemy. Sadly, cancer is

something that a lot of people are dealing with. A lot of people would

empathise with you. But Geraldine is just down there. She's looking in

great form. How has this all affected Chad? Look, that we will

never know, you know? But at the end of the day, it is what it is. And

it's the hand that a family has been dealt. People don't believe it that,

you know, I want other families to look at this, at my boy, and look

and think that's the way to behave, with adversity. Not take drugs or go

drinking or go hit people. Because it is what it is, you know? And he's

had that. And, you know? And he's using it in a positive way. Should I

say it that way, you know what I mean? And, like, I want to repeat

myself. Down there is the champion, not me. You know? You should

actually be talking to her. Not to me. You're referring to your wife

down there. I mean that. She's the king and the queen. And I'm just one

of the peasants. I promise you. I swear to God. I mean it. She's the

matriarch of the family. Chad is close to both of you. Leading up to

the Olympics, you didn't see him for three months. You caught up earlier

in the week. How was that? We bawled our eyes out. I don't know if you

understand. All of us, including Chad, we cried like babies, you

know? It was really emotional. Hadn't seen him for so long. It was

like you cut my right hand off, you know, I can't even use my left hand.

I promise you. He is putting you through the wringer. Emotionally,

you hadn't seen him for so long. Last night in the pool, you were

jumping around. In that 200 free, he went out there like a bullet from a

gun. He's a lion! He's a lion. He's a beautiful lion, from Africa!

That's where the lions come from. No, no. Look, let's not talk about

that race, because that's another race. Tonight is another race, and

we'll see afterwards, it's gonna be a beautiful race. Never mind a lion.

Last night he was a boxer. What was going on in that call room? Is that

something you've talked about? Not really. He was warming up. The

Americans make a big thing out of nothing. He was warming up. What

they say? Nothing. Guys do things in the room, I'm sure. Mark has done

things in the room. Let's laugh. How are you feeling Big Brother tonight?

This is him last night. He looks like he's having -- feeling tonight?

This is him last night. He looks like he's having... He will do that

tonight? He's beautiful, again. Look at him. You can't compare to any

other swimmer, man. Look at him! He looks like he's having a ball. You

said last night off camera that he's nervous about defending this title,

because it's different. Listen, guys, I'm nervous now. You know, in

London, London was Lone. And we wanted to just - we were not - we

never had a target on our back. And no expectation. It was just, we come

there, we have a good time, and we put the flag, and we won a gold

medal. Although, we wanted to win, and we expected to win, or we tried

to win and whatever, but this time now it's expected. It's completely

different. You see how many champions have fallen short here?

World record holders, not a place. Because it's not just about Chad and

Phelps anymore, is it? There's other people in that race. 100%. It's not

about Chad... It's not about Phelps and Chad. It's about eight top

athletes in the world, top 200 fly swimmers in the world. And he has to

beat all eight. Not one. One is nothing. You know, he is the...

Mark, Becky, certainly the race we're looking forward to. We have

been talking about it all day. One of the fiercely fought competitions.

Bert, thank you so much. I'm looking forward to it. I'm telling you. I am

but I'm not! He's good. Your boy is looking in awesome shape. He is.

He's a lion, he's a boxer, he is unbelievable. He's not a boxer. He's

a nice boy. Beautiful boy. Not a boxer. He's a beautiful boy. Smash

his nose, he's a boxer. A beautiful boy and a beautiful family. Look

after yourself. Look after your good lady wife. Stood on the box. He

stood on the box that I stand on, just to get an eye line with these

two. OK. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks so

much, guys, we are looking forward to that race. It is gonna be an

absolute humdinger. Bert, stop fighting me out of my chair h

please! Time for the 100m men's freestyle

semifinal. The bread in this Sandwich is very

thick indeed. Big men, capable men, not their brainpower. Capable? They

are very capable, they didn't look on form this morning, they've both

had a good sleep during the day. Dotto, he is strong, the 26-year-old

Italian, gold in the European Championships in this event in May.

Only six tenths of a second splitting all 16 from the first and

the second semi. Six tenths, 16 people. This guide, Schooling, I

wonder whether he could win the 100 fly -- this guy. When I say Phelps,

look low, Laszlo, Cseh. -- Le Clos. School of... McAvoy, what about

McAvoy? Fastest in the world coming into this by a good seven tenths of

a second. And here, dress all of the USA. Already won a gold in the four

x 100 metres freestyle relay. -- dress cell. He is utterly brilliant.

Expect him to go off very quickly. McAvoy in five, third fastest man in

history. In one and eight, the world champion and the defending Olympic

champion. Talking to himself, psyching himself up, McAvoy has

still got his T-shirt on. -- who knows what's going on under

the surface. Huge. This would be very exciting. I've no

idea where the winner is going to come from. Could be one. Could be

for, then five, then six. Adrian? Five. McEvoy for me. Unusually the

100 metre freestyle is talking themselves down, they normally

talked themselves up but here McEvoy said, I don't know, Nathan Adrian

looks good. Very self Dave deprecating but

McEvoy and Adrian very good friends actually, Australian and America.

Friends in five and eight. As you said, you can't really rule out

kneeing. -- Ning. The big guys on the outside and in the centre.

McEvoy, the yellow hat of Australia. Dressel has gone off quickly as

expected for the USA. Nathan Adrian nearest the camera has gone off

well. Verschuren left behind, an awful start, he will have a problem

catching them here. McEvoy within a 10th. In the middle lane. Nathan

Adrian nearest is doing well. Nathan Adrian of the USA. The defending

Olympic champion, going well, working really hard but coming back

in the centre, the yellow hat of McEvoy of Australia. Mighty close.

Adrian got it! Didn't look like it from up here, looked like McEvoy's

arm went in first. Three guys under 48 seconds. Nathan Adrian, Olympic

champion, McEvoy and Dressel. Where was the world champion? Back in

sixth. That was a strong swimmer from Adrian, much better than this

morning, one half of your bread Sandwich pulled it off, McEvoy on

the right. Nathan Adrian nearest to us had a brilliant swing. Didn't let

anything faze him, even Verschuren 1-up with that terrible start. Clean

water from Adrian. You're right, looked like McEvoy went in with his

arm but Adrian... The winner of that one. A bit slower than expected.

Nathan Adrian went 47.0 in his trial, he has just done 47.9 and it

looked like he was working hard. McEvoy you mean? That's right,

McEvoy. Look at the world champion, Zetao. Six. The world champion.

In the next semi-final we will see Duncan Scott. We saw him earlier in

the heats, how impressive was the 19-year-old from Glasgow? Very

impressive, he did a best time this morning by .6 of a second, looked

really good and in control, has the 200 later. If he is near them at a

the turn then he will have a good back end. If he gets near the time

of this morning he will get it through to the final, which will be

huge for British wimping. He's had a tough day, he had the heats this

morning -- British winning. He did it tonight again. He has a good day

today but he looked so controlled -- British swimming. I think he will be

on form and pumped up for this and then for the boys later in the

relay. Sometimes especially in this event, the 100 freestyle is a big

boys' then, you see the wash created in the pool and in the past, I've

been there, it's almost like man against boys when you say a Brit

against the Americans because they look big. He could take it along

with those guys. If he's looking at that and Nathan Adrian, surely he's

not too intimidated. If you're Duncan Scott you're looking at that

and thinking the door is open. He was close to it this morning.

Looking at the top three or four from the semi-final, he's not just

looking at the leader. If he's wins the same time as this morning he

should get to the final. -- if he swims. If he can make it through to

tomorrow evening, it will be very close tomorrow night and he could be

in the mixed. It takes that one marvellous moment and something

could happen with a metal, let's get him their first but something could

happen -- medal. We were talking to bird earlier, Chad le Clos was the

guy that announced himself on the Olympic stage -- Bert. It happens

here, doesn't it? You even have Kyle from Australia, 18, broke the world

junior record. You tend to associate someone like Nathan Adrian, who is

older, and success with them, and the young ones have blown the field

away. It will be really interesting, always such a close race and always

people you can't tell because there is so much splash and wash going on.

It is a big open evening, men's 100 freestyle, always the blue ribbon

event and I would like to think it is the 50 freestyle because it's the

shortest but historically because the 50 came in only 30 years ago,

this event is the fastest man on the planet stuff. He was so good this

morning, no chance he has picked too early? No, positivity. When you're

on, you're on -- peaked. Come on, Duncan!

COMMENTATOR: Here we go, the second semi-final of the men's 100 metres

freestyle and a massive, massive ovation for the guy in lane one,

second fastest qualifier, Chierighini of Brazil. Certainly

creates a wonderful atmosphere. Only six tenths based second split the

whole field, both semifinals, so anyone can make it. And the

Canadian, Kisil. Duncan Scott, coming out to make the Olympic

final. We saw him in the heats of this event and the relay, he did an

awesome split. The joy on his face, the thrill of being in the Olympics

was all there to see this morning. Great to see him walk out with it on

his face again without any extra pressure he might put on himself or

other people. This gentleman will be right next to him, Wierling of

Germany, a new lifetime best for the final. Fourth fastest. Condorelli of

Canada, trains in Singapore, he has a ritual with his dad, turns around

and does a rather unfriendly ways, he's done it all his life and it is

the little thing between him. Here we go, Duncan Scott, 19 from the

university of sterling. Coached by Steve Tick, fabulous team they have

up there and he has a great chance of making the Olympic final. A new

British record set in that heat of this morning and if he can go with

this guy, the new journey junior or recordholder, the 19-year-old, he

has a super chance. Fantastic to be next to charmers. Charmers just that

bit quicker this morning. Duncan Scott... Also with... Ben Hickson in

its Sterling. In the 4x100 he did for Manaudou. At the back end he

held him of back. Scott has been amongst the big races already.

Looking more nervous I have to say. They do look young, these teenagers,

don't they? It's great. He is fast, that is for certain. What I

wonderful British record he set in the heats this morning. Could we

have a Brit go 47 seconds for the 100 free? The first semi-final

wasn't that fast, these guys all have a chance, every single one of

them. Making through to the finals is all on time, doesn't matter about

your place, it is all on time. Chalmers of Australia in four. His

fingers shaking as he adjusts his goggles, Stoney faced, but that

betrays what is going on underneath, all of them just want to get on with

it. We've got the resilient commentators next to us so expect an

explosion of noise in a second. The second semi-final of the men's 100

metre freestyle and Britain's Duncan Scott goes in lane five in the Red

Hat and a solid start but a good one up in three, as expected, Condorelli

of Canada. Scott's reaction was the best but now not so strong, as you

mentioned, lane six... Lane two. Brilliant first 50. Scott in third

place. It was the Brazilian, Chierighini, leading off, that's why

the crowd are going nuts and Condorelli as expected and Scott has

to work the last 25 minutes. Going really well, 31-hundredths faster

than the split this morning for the British record but he has to bring

it home now -- three 1-hundredths. My goodness me. Fourth. 48 .20. I

have a funny feeling that might be enough. That's good, Andy. I think

he is in. He was fourth in that, only three people beat him, seventh

into the final. Well done, Duncan Scott. Chalmers, though, Andy, only

two of them got under 48 in that one and another world junior record for

Chalmers, improving with every round and the 18-year-old is a real

threat. Changing the guard. There will be a couple of Australians

really leading the charge with Adrian trying to defend his title.

Chierighini of Brazil has just been announced as making the final and

the crowd has just gone potty. They are all on their feet cheering and

you can't see them because they are watching the replay at the moment,

trying to wind up the crowd and it is working. Chalmers, I would say a

clear victory but just a finger. There you go, raising the crowd and

I tell you what, he doesn't need to excite the commentators next to us,

they are talking all over the start when they should be quiet and it's

causing all sorts of panic up here. Is it affecting your hearing aid? He

is next to me, you are three feet away from him. Like a hairdryer.

Duncan Scott, I tell you what, when you got to man up, I tell you what,

while. Chalmers wins the second semi-final. Condorelli hung on well.

Duncan Scott, just outside the British record he set this morning.

In the final of the Olympic Games for the 100 free. Nathan Adrian,

defending champion, fastest in. Condorelli as well. He will have an

outside lane. Fabulous stuff, Duncan Scott, well done, sir.

Duncan Scott, congratulations. It is going to be a close one. A little

bit of the time that he went to this morning. That has? He has made it

into the final. He is quite slight. His skills are amazing. At the

start, he came up with it. He has the good back end. Tomorrow evening,

only 0.4 seconds between eight swimmers. He can get back below his

best and he has a shout. Swimming a bit later. Somebody else who is

swimming will be Michael Phelps. Hoping to get back is butterfly

crown in the 200. This is in a little bit Aliir on. One guy who is

going to be challenging him. This is going to be billed as the big race

of the evening. We have is compatriot and hungry. I will tell

you later what I think. Oh, yes. I don't know who is going to win.

Write it down and put it on a piece of paper on your pocket. Michael

Phelps is a massive engines. They get just as excited for Michael

Phelps. On the other side of the pool, is Buzz Aldrin in the middle

with the glass is a grey hair, sitting next to the blonde lady. The

second man ever to walk on the moon. He is undoubtedly here to see Mr

Phelps. Talking of legends. Katie Ledecky, Sarah Sjostrom, they are in

the pool for the women's 200 metres freestyle final. It is going to be a

real scrap, isn't it? This one, I've been looking forward to it all week.

My dad at home has been so excited about this. It is going to be such a

close race. I would love to see Ledecky win. I want to see her get

the full set. Sarah just looked so good yesterday. Who is your dad

backing? He will want Katie as well. Your dad can be backing Sourav. It

is intriguing. I would like to see Sjostrom do it. As wonderful as it

is to see someone dominate, Ledecky has the distance background, coming

down to this print. Sjostrom has so much in the beginning. Ledecky will

try and get off if she has two with some extra speed on the way back.

Both of them have Olympic gold in the bag, both of them have world

records. This is going to be a fight.

It is certainly going to be a fight and fascinating to commentate.

Three, four and five world record holder. There she is, Federica

Pellegrini. Sjostrom in four. Ledecky and five. There is the world

record held. She set it way back in Rome, 2009. Katie Ledecky, she has

won the 400. Welshy when the 200? She did a great 100 in the relay. It

is going to be difficult for Ledecky. They reckon she is going to

come back strong. Sjostrom and that semi-final was brilliant. Really,

really strong. She won the 100 fly, gold medal on day one. Sjostrom is

confident. Singing to herself. She is on it. I agree. I love watching

the faces. You can read so much into it. So nervous going into that

final. Everyone gave her a gold medal yet ago. She is much more

relaxed. There is Pellegrini, the world record holder. She is getting

fired up. Sjostrom, there she is. Ledecky in lane five. She should

have a double cappuccino and espresso. The one big challenge to

her achieving a real sleep in the two, four and 800. -- sweep.

Ledecky has to be with them. At the 150 mark. The final of the women's

200 freestyle. I have to say, probably the worst

part of the whole race of -- for Sarah Sjostrom is the start. There

we go, closer to us. Emma McKeon getting the medal in the relay for

Australia. Strong in the sprint. The niece of Woodhouse, known to many

living in Scotland. Michelle Coleman and Sjostrom, the two Swedes. This

is a pretty strong Swinburn Sjostrom. Pellegrini, I am

surprised. She is coming back strongly. Working enormously hard.

Look at Ledecky. Look at the speed and the turnover at a stroke. It is

quite phenomenal. World record pace, that is Pellegrini's world record.

Goodness me. It is an Emma McKeon. Second, Ledecky. Third, Sjostrom.

All three of them are on world record pace. Ledecky going nuts.

Sjostrom has to hold on here. Brilliant swimming by McKeown. Still

going on a world record pace. Sjostrom is winding it up at

Ledecky, what a great 150 metres. Sjostrom is looking good. At the

moment, Ledecky is working enormously hard. She has got 50

metres to go. I am not sure that Sjostrom is going to capture that

she is having a crack at it. She can see her. At the moment, it is

Ledecky. Still going well. McKeon of Australia. Ledecky, the 19-year-old.

Goodness me. She is going to be really close. Still coming back is

Sjostrom. Gold to Ledecky it is. What a brilliant swim. The Gold

Coast to Katie Ledecky of the USA. The Silver ghost Sarah Sjostrom of

Sweden. The bombs, at very brave bombs, -- the bronze medal, a very

brave bronze medal, and a McKeon of Australia. -- and a McKeon. Ledecky,

the best in the world of the 200 metres. Right now, that was a bad --

fantastic strong, bold swim. Sjostrom had nothing to answer with.

Ledecky, you cannot count now against the getting a handful

really. Gold medals,. She has already got the 400. The 800 is

left. She should win by a street. It was a very brave thing to do. The

only way she could, she really had to get out there because the

sprinters, they have much more speed than she does. McKeon is a brave

one. Look at that. A great bronze medal for McKeon. She has her own

individual level. Her own race pacing. That including -- that

included using her sprint. Ledecky taking the gold medal. The most

dominant middle-distance freestyle and we have seen in years.

Confirmation of an amazing result. Katie Ledecky wins the 200 metres
