Dave five, what are you doing to us? I'm afraid, guys, back in the UK, | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
Rio de Janeiro is not giving you your usual dose of escapism. It is | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
absolutely horrible out here, I'm afraid to say. On BBC Four, we have | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
had to move from our usual position down on the ground in the Olympic | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
park, we have got a bill to shelter but I'm not happy to say that it's | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
coming in sideways over here. -- a bit of shelter. You can see the fans | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
down there, being pretty stoic about everything. Lots of umbrellas, and | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
could ghouls aplenty. The fans are still trying to make their way into | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
enjoy the action. We will have plenty of action to brighten up the | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
state of play here and the state of affairs back at home. This is what | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
is coming up this Wednesday afternoon. | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
We are going to be after the Sambodromo very shortly to see the | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
men's individual eliminations. BBC Four is going to be your home fall | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
of the rugby sevens this afternoon. Great Britain with their toughest | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
test so far, taking on New Zealand. And it will be a difficult for Great | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Britain's women hockey players, up against Olympic silver medallists | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
from 2012, Argentina. This is how the afternoon of day five is looking | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
on this drizzly Rio de Janeiro day. We are going to start with a bit of | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
archery before we go to the water polo, Greece against the greatest | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
men's water polo team in Olympic history, Hungary, and interesting to | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
see how Copacabana is looking, we check in with the Beach volleyball | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
before a bit of rugby sevens and then the women's hockey as well. | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
On BBC One, things don't look much prettier. We have got Emma Pooley | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
for Great Britain going in the women's Road race time trial. She | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
was a Beijing silver medallist, high hopes for her and later, the weather | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
will surely give a little extra bite to Joe Clarke going in the canoe | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
slalom K-1. The breeze is picking up and somehow we are staying in | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
position. My goodness! This is not what we're used to. If anyone was in | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
any doubt whether it was winter in Rio, well, definitely is. We were | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
hoping to show you a full programme of rowing this afternoon. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Unfortunately, things have taken a turn for the worse down at the Lagoa | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
Stadium as well. You can just about see Christ the Redeemer, but it has | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
meant we will have no rowing this afternoon. Sir Steve Redgrave and | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
John Inverdale are looking after things down there. What is the state | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
of affairs, guys? It's pretty mournful down here, very | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
great and the only thing that is brightening the horizon... Actually, | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
classic timing! About 50 blokes with bright yellow could ghouls behind a | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
30 seconds ago and they have vanished now. Maybe they have been | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
swept away. Just a mournful sight, grey everywhere. We are not going to | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
have any racing today. Understandably so by the way as well | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
because they must have got a pretty austere weather forecast going | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
forward and you can see what conditions are like at the moment. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Occasionally coming you get a massive gust of wind to almost blow | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
you off your feet. I suspect this was a no-brainer. They inspected the | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
course at 7:30am and at 7:31am, they knew what the answer was. Not enough | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
wind for the sailing yesterday when we had perfect conditions but the | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
sailors will be happy today. Look at those pictures. It is pretty obvious | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
why it has been delayed again. We are actually halfway through the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
rolling programme and we have been delayed twice now, four more days to | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
go, all finals days. It will be interesting to see if we can get | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
through the next few days. Do we assume now that we will be racing on | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Sunday and just knock the schedule on one day? I don't think they want | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
to do that. We have lost two days now of the first four, but they | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
would like to catch up and have a spare morning on Sunday just as a | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
banker. I gather they are talking about having a double hit on Friday, | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
literally just hearing that in the last few seconds which presumably | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
means they will move today's programme to tomorrow and then | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
tomorrow's programme to Friday and do both sessions. There were two | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
finals today, men's and women's quads, and four finals each day for | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
the last three days. They could be mixing and matching. We will have to | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
wait and see. I've got no idea what the forecast is for the rest of the | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
week because it seems to vacillate every few hours but the bottom line | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
is, nothing is happening here today. The weather really playing havoc | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
with the schedule down at the rowing. Glad to say that we have | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
some action in the archery as well. We will show you a bit about what is | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
going on down at the Sambodromo in a moment but before we do, Darren | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Campbell picked a fantastic day to get down to the Sambodromo and have | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
a go at a bit of archery as well. It looked very different to how it | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
looks today. After Lord's Cricket ground hosted | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
the archery in 2012, the pressure was on Rio to find a spectacular | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
venue. Step forward, the Sambodromo. During the Rio Carnival, 90,000 | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
people fill the stands for half a mile. Having just walked into the | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
arena, the first thing that really strikes you is the heat. It is so, | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
so hot. The target from the shooting line to the target is 70 metres | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
away. As you stand here, you can feel the sun on your back. In this | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
arena, the crowd feels so close. It feels like you can touch them and | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
like you can hear every single breath. You can see Christ the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Redeemer, just over there. Is it your time? You will have 20 seconds | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
to release Yobo. Failure to release the bow will result in a penalty. If | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
you just look over there, you can see it is slightly picking up, the | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
sock, you can't wait for it to be still. A red card is what you will | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
receive. It is not like football. You won't be sent off but what you | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
will lose by receiving a red card is your highest score from the set. It | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
will hit its target within one second, at 140 mph. From the | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
shooting line, I could not even see the medal target but now I am this | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
close, it is about the size of a DVD. The best archers will actually | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
hit this little cross. Ridiculous. Now it would be wrong to come to | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
such a fantastic venue without giving it a go myself but I'm going | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
to need a bit of coaching and a bit of help from my main man, Chris. | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
Event organiser, the main guy. You were involved in London 2012 and you | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
are going to be involved in Tokyo. Absolutely. What is this place like? | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
It's amazing, it's never been used for sport before so this is the | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
first time as a sporting venue so some challenges there. It has a | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
fantastic history. It is in the culture. It is in the fire of | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
Brazilians, with Carnival. We are trying to bring the same Carnival | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
ride here, and party hard for the Olympics with the archery. When you | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
draw back the bow, keeping this high, this arm, still, looking | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
straight down, and creating no movement so you can see down the | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
target is hard. It's all about hitting the ten when you can. It is | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
not so much dependent on muscles. It is all about controlling your | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
breathing and your mental ability and being able to hit the ten when | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
you need to for the gold medal. Breathing, forget about strength and | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
power. Clear your mind. The bow is your friend. Don't fight it but use | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
it. Three fingers underneath the arrow and then straighten this arm, | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
good, point to the target, bring this to your right eye, a team in | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
the middle and relax. You got a nine, not bad! Nine! | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
He picked a good day to get out to the Sambodromo, Darren Campbell and | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
it was a pretty good day yesterday for Great Britain's Naomi Folkard, | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
who was involved in last 32 action against Kawanaka of Japan and the | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
Beijing Olympian came through that pretty well, going through to the | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
last visit -- la 16, taking on Santos of Brazil tomorrow at around | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
2:15pm UK time to mark your card for that one. Today, even though the | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
weather is horrible, it does not seem to have affected the action | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
down at the Sambodromo in the men's elimination so let's go down to the | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
Maracana zone and check in on our friend Finicius who seems to be | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
enjoying things down there. We are going to enjoy men's individual | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
action right now at the Sambodromo with our commentator, Glenn Marble. | :10:06. | :10:17. | |
COMMENTATOR: Each archers shoot three arrows per set. It is a | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
knockout format. -- each archer shoots. The maximum score and archer | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
can get in any one set is dirty, if they get three arrows in the ten | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
zone. In the ten zone at the other end of the target, which is 70 | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
metres, the other end of the range, 70 metres away, and it is the size | :10:40. | :10:49. | |
of a CD or DVD. Not a big target. Florian Floto starts with nine. If | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
you win a set, you get two set points. The archers can share a set | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
if they have the same score, meaning they get one point each. The losing | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
archer gets no set points. First to sixth set points wins the match | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
moves through to the next round. The loser is eliminated from the | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
competition. We could have a scenario where we have both archers | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
finishing on five set points apiece. And if that happens, we will have a | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
one arrow shoot off. The winner then moves through by being closest to | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
the centre. Similarly pepo, a bit astray with his second arrow, | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
getting a seven. Floto's advantage means that if he | :11:37. | :11:49. | |
gets an eight or better, you will get the first two set points of the | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
match and he's got a ten so a dream finish for Florian Floto. He has got | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
the first two set point locked away. That is the format. Not overly | :11:58. | :12:14. | |
complicate it to follow. It ensures high class and high drama at times. | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
-- complicated to follow. Pressure is able to be applied on their | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
opponent by a judge, so it can be an exciting format. -- by each archer. | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
The archers are just waiting for the judges at the far end of the range | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
to ratify their scores. Then we will move onto set two. | :12:41. | :13:05. | |
So, those scores have been ratified now and Floto takes the first set | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
29-24. -- Piipo of Finland. The archer has | :13:10. | :13:35. | |
20 seconds to shoot each arrow. Completed at both of the European | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
Championships earlier this year, these archers, Floto finishing just | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
outside the top 16, so making the last 32. It is his third ten, three | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
in a row, for him. He's in good form in match and Piipo finished one | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
further back. Floto is the man in good form, here. He has made an | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
excellent start. He is gunning for his fourth ten in succession in this | :14:08. | :14:08. | |
match. Not far-away, is he? The archers are allowed to speak to | :14:09. | :14:47. | |
their coaches. During a match. Great finish from Floto. That is pressure | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
archery right there. Very impressive start from Florian Floto. He was in | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
very good touch during the ranking round, and had a very high finish, | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
11th out of 64. So far, four tens and two nines for the German. He has | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
two sets locked away. The difference has been stark so | :15:10. | :15:49. | |
far, two very good set of archery from Florian Floto, he is one set | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
away and he is through to the last 32. The pressure on the Finnish arch | :15:55. | :16:11. | |
and now. If he loses this, he is gone. He needs arose in the yellow | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
zone desperately. If Florian Floto continues this sort of form,... A | :16:17. | :16:28. | |
big, strong, stable base for him to launch into his archery. | :16:29. | :16:53. | |
That has clipped the ten. If it hits the line, it defaults to the higher | :16:54. | :17:04. | |
score. That will be scored a ten. Florian Floto continues his | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
outstanding form. This is a big opportunity for the German team -- | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
to wrap up the match. He just needs a six or better. Another one in the | :17:17. | :17:26. | |
nine zone, nine out of nine in the Get Low, a very good effort. That | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
second arrow needed some ratification. It will not matter, | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
Florian Floto has made light work of his first match, really impressive. | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
He will move through to the round of 32. | :17:46. | :18:00. | |
Nine arrows required to move through to the next round, that is the | :18:01. | :18:09. | |
minimum number. Five of them finished in the ten zone, four in | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
benign, an excellent effort. He just dropped four points in the whole | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
match, he is comfortable you through. | :18:19. | :18:38. | |
The men's individual archery. These two looking to get into the round of | :18:39. | :18:50. | |
32. Andres Pila, the Colombian. 654 | :18:51. | :19:16. | |
points, just one of his personal best. 82nd in the world rankings, he | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
has been as high as 54, in 2013. His opponent is Khairul Anuar Mohamad. | :19:26. | :19:37. | |
He qualified in 20 Second Place. 33 -- he is 41st in the world rankings, | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
but he has been as high as number three come back in 2013. | :19:42. | :19:55. | |
Khairul Anuar Mohamad's world ranking in 2013 was largely on the | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
back of making the quarterfinals in the last Olympic Games. And | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
excellent form. He just missed out on the quarterfinals in 2013 in the | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
World Championships. He just missed the medals in the Asian games in | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
2014. He has been a very good archer in certain competitions over the | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
last three or four years. Without just breaking through to get a top | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
three placing. But he has been very competitive. He is one to watch in | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
this Olympic Games, his second. He has also been in action already | :20:43. | :21:10. | |
in the team competition. Malaysia missing out on the quarterfinals. | :21:11. | :21:22. | |
284 Andres Pila. And likewise, Khairul Anuar Mohamad with nine and | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
seven. Not far away, but he asks Andres Pila to get a ten to win the | :21:33. | :21:33. | |
set. Andres Pila has an opportunity. Not been able to get one into the | :21:34. | :21:53. | |
yellow zone yet. It will be a set to Khairul Anuar Mohamad, by a point. | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
A very well-respected fierce competitor. He has been on the | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
circuit for several years now. The first Malaysia mail to reach a World | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
Cup final, in 2011. Andres Pila is not a bad archer. He | :22:14. | :22:34. | |
is well respected around South America as being one of the best on | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
the continent. His radar is not working at the | :22:37. | :23:02. | |
moment. The wind is a lot lower than has | :23:03. | :23:31. | |
been in previous sessions. A nice buffer. He should be wrapping | :23:32. | :23:54. | |
up this set, courtesy of a couple of loose arrows from Andres Pila. That | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
is his best so far, but it is unlikely to be enough. The Malaysian | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
needing just a six or better to move into a comfortable position. He has | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
got and eight, not his best by any stretch, but still good enough. You | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
just have to get more points than your opponent in this format. He had | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
wriggle room there, Khairul Anuar Mohamad, to secure another set. | :24:29. | :24:40. | |
It is all about surviving to the next round. You don't need 30s each | :24:41. | :25:02. | |
time, you just have to get more points than your opponent. That is | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
what Khairul Anuar Mohamad has done so far. | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
Khairul Anuar Mohamad needing one more set when, two more set points, | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
to move through to the next round, the round of 32. Andres Pila needs | :25:20. | :25:31. | |
to at least share this set. He has started brilliantly, with a ten, the | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
first of the match so far. That could be a nine. It might have | :25:34. | :25:50. | |
clipped the line by a smidgen. Andres Pila waits for the wind to | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
die down. All of a sudden, the gust is coming | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
through the range. An excellent response from Khairul | :26:01. | :26:17. | |
Anuar Mohamad. They have 20 seconds' time-limit for | :26:18. | :26:39. | |
each arrow. Andres Pila waiting almost the full 20 seconds. Really | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
breezy all of a sudden, in this last minute or so, that is why Khairul | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
Anuar Mohamad is waiting as well. He needs an eight or better to end this | :26:52. | :27:01. | |
match. That was a clutch arrow, the wind lying below, the time ticking | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
down, at Khairul Anuar Mohamad puts it in the ten zone. That would | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
please him. The Asterix is the provisional arrow, but it does not | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
matter, he has a comfortable set victory. Khairul Anuar Mohamad left | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
his best archery to the last set. He will go through to the next round. | :27:25. | :27:55. | |
Very good form from Khairul Anuar Mohamad. Hugely impressive, the | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
gusty conditions coming up, seemingly from nowhere. That | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
indicates the breeze is picking up a bit here. | :28:10. | :28:18. | |
Khairul Anuar Mohamad has moved through to the last 32, defeating | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
Andres Pila. We will be back with the archery in | :28:22. | :28:33. | |
a moment. Just to bring you an update, it is still pretty awful | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
down here. That is the state of play looking down over the coast. It does | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
not catch much better when you change the camera angle. It is windy | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
as well, really blustery. When we came on air, I said how the rain was | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
coming down. We have taken shelter here, but it is cold as well. | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
Sometimes when you go on holiday and you feel it is tropical, it is quite | :28:59. | :29:05. | |
warm, but at the moment I feel like I need more layers, maybe even a | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
thermal. The fans are still coming in. Next to the handball arena, that | :29:10. | :29:17. | |
seems pretty popular, a lot of fans wearing their cagoule is and the | :29:18. | :29:24. | |
umbrellas are definitely up. We are going to go back to the archery in a | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
moment, but on BBC One now, they are in the women's Road race time trial. | :29:31. | :29:35. | |
Emma Pooley, the Beijing Olympian and silver medallist, going for | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
Great Britain, she is in the closing stages of her race. She is pushing | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
for a medal, but with more riders still to come, we will have to see | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
whether she can come away with a medal. But now, we will go back to | :29:52. | :29:58. | |
the Sambodromo. The wind and weather definitely affecting some of the | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
archers. They will join the women's individual competition. | :30:03. | :30:15. | |
COMMENTATOR: Women's individual archery time in the round of 64 here | :30:16. | :30:21. | |
at the Rio 2016 games and we have a match between Shih-Chia Lin of | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
Taipei and Reem Mansour of Egypt. A very good archer from Chinese | :30:26. | :30:39. | |
Taipei, the 23-year-old, qualified ninth with a score of 650, 21 in the | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
ten zone, world ranking is ten at the moment and she has been at | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
high-end -- size five in the world back in September 20 15. Here is | :30:48. | :30:56. | |
Reem Mansour of Egypt, the 22-year-old, qualified 56th, 596 | :30:57. | :31:03. | |
points, 12 of her arrows finished in the ten zone, currently ranked 179 | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
in the world. Beaten finalist at the African | :31:07. | :31:19. | |
Championships in 2016. Our line judge from the match -- for the | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
matches from the US. So, women's archery and we now have | :31:22. | :31:46. | |
Shih-Chia Lin on the shooting range and she is certainly an archer to | :31:47. | :31:55. | |
watch in these Olympic Games, she finished second at the World | :31:56. | :31:57. | |
Championships last year, beaten in the final. She starts with a nine. | :31:58. | :32:04. | |
Likewise, Mansour. Keep your eyes on Lin. She is | :32:05. | :32:26. | |
certainly going to be one to watch. Mansour with an eight. Lin can win | :32:27. | :32:38. | |
this match is a nine -- with a nine or better which she has secured. | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
Shih-Chia Lin off to a good start, here. | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
And that I think has missed the target from Mansour. Unfortunately | :32:48. | :32:57. | |
for her, she got that one terribly wrong. It thundered into the board | :32:58. | :33:07. | |
at the back. So it is going to be 28-9, and in fact, there it is, | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
right there. Missing the target entirely. | :33:12. | :33:28. | |
Shih-Chia Lin, part of the Chinese Taipei team that competed well | :33:29. | :33:39. | |
earlier on in this Olympic Games. They secured the bronze medal in the | :33:40. | :33:45. | |
team event, beating Italy in that bronze medal match. Great effort | :33:46. | :33:55. | |
from her and her team-mates, one of whom will also be a serious | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
contender in the women's draw. So Shih-Chia Lin, up 28-17, 2-0 set | :34:00. | :34:10. | |
points. If you are watching archery for the first time, just repeating | :34:11. | :34:14. | |
and reminding you of how the format works, a best of five set encounter, | :34:15. | :34:20. | |
each archer shoots three arrows per set, and the highest cumulative | :34:21. | :34:27. | |
score wins two set point. As we saw Lin do in the previous match, or the | :34:28. | :34:33. | |
previous set, the first to sixth set points wins the match. -- six set | :34:34. | :34:41. | |
points. That won't worry Lin too much. Mansour finishing with a total | :34:42. | :34:51. | |
of 21 which means Lin only needs four or more to win the second set. | :34:52. | :35:00. | |
And she has got and eight. 26-21, comfortable set when for Chicchi 11 | :35:01. | :35:09. | |
as well, so she just needs six points, one more set win to move to | :35:10. | :35:21. | |
the last 32. You can get five set points apiece and if we do reach | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
that, we then go to a one arrow shoot off, with the archer who | :35:26. | :35:30. | |
finishes closest to the centre winning their way through to the | :35:31. | :35:32. | |
next round. Excellent indication, there are, on | :35:33. | :35:50. | |
the flight of the arrow, and the wind just dying down a bit again. | :35:51. | :35:57. | |
Not affecting the flight of the arrow to much on that one from Lin | :35:58. | :36:03. | |
so she is up 4-0 in set points now. The wind is still gusting around a | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
little bit. Tricky conditions for the archery, for both the team and | :36:09. | :36:14. | |
individual competitions so far. You see Lin, there, just struggling to | :36:15. | :36:20. | |
provide herself with a stable base, a balance, where she can draw the | :36:21. | :36:29. | |
arrow back. Not be affected by anything else. Just below the ten | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
zone from Lin. Well, it is a tough day at the | :36:34. | :37:03. | |
office for Reem Mansour, just four, there. Lin just needs two, to move | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
through to the next round. She has got a nine so a comfortable | :37:09. | :37:23. | |
win, then, for Shih-Chia Lin. She has had absolutely no problems | :37:24. | :37:25. | |
whatsoever, moving through to the round of 32 comfortably, taking that | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
match against Reem Mansour of Egypt. So, no problems at all for Shih-Chia | :37:30. | :38:15. | |
Lin. She is one of the world's elite women's archers. She's ranked inside | :38:16. | :38:19. | |
the top ten and has had no problems moving through to the next round, | :38:20. | :38:22. | |
comfortably beating Reem Mansour 6-0 in set point. | :38:23. | :38:32. | |
Women's archery continues here at the 2016 Olympic Games and we have a | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
round of 64 elimination match now, and this match has Laurence Baldauff | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
of Austria up against Bombayla Devi Laishram of India. Bombayla Devi | :38:44. | :38:52. | |
Laishram in her third Olympic Games let's look at Lord's love, the | :38:53. | :39:00. | |
41-year-old, living in Luxembourg and residing in Vienna, qualifying | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
first with 16 pence in her ranking round, current ranking in the world | :39:06. | :39:15. | |
of 93rd. -- 16 tens. Laishram in her third Olympic Games, qualifying 24th | :39:16. | :39:22. | |
with a score of 638, 23 arrows in the ten zone, they shoot 72 in total | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
in the ranking round, 69 in a world at the moment, the 31-year-old but | :39:28. | :39:31. | |
she has been a size 14, back in November 2000 eight. -- as high as | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
14. Our judge is from Argentina. So, Laishram, here, 24th in the | :39:36. | :39:56. | |
ranking round, as Olympic experience, her third Olympic Games, | :39:57. | :40:01. | |
competing in the team and individual competitions at the last two games, | :40:02. | :40:04. | |
best effort in London four years ago where she just missed out on a spot | :40:05. | :40:10. | |
in the top 16, so that means she won her around 60 format but lost in the | :40:11. | :40:14. | |
round of 32. If she was able to win here, she would match what she was | :40:15. | :40:18. | |
able to achieve in London at the very least. Of course, she will be | :40:19. | :40:20. | |
aiming to go better than that. Baldauff has competed at the World | :40:21. | :40:33. | |
Championships last year in Denmark. She also reached the last 32, there. | :40:34. | :40:42. | |
So Baldauff, that is her best achievement in her career to date so | :40:43. | :40:50. | |
far. Of course, reaching the last 32 got her into the field here for Rio. | :40:51. | :41:05. | |
Laishram's eight means there's a big opportunity for Baldauff to win the | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
first set. She needs seven or better. And she got a nine. Good | :41:10. | :41:18. | |
start for the Austrian. She takes the first set. A score of 27, three | :41:19. | :41:30. | |
nines so plenty for Laishram to think about heading into the second | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
set. Baldauff did not compete in the sport ten years, took a break | :41:35. | :41:40. | |
between 2000-2010. But she has since got her an easier than back and six | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
years later, here she is at the Olympics, a fine Olympics from her, | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
despite not competing in the sport ten years. -- she has since got her | :41:51. | :41:52. | |
enthusiasm back. So, there we are, Laurence Baldauff, | :41:53. | :42:05. | |
the winner of the first set, 27-24. Laishram, here, a two time Olympian, | :42:06. | :42:30. | |
two time World Championship attendee as well. She gets her first ten. Her | :42:31. | :42:37. | |
best result was a silver medal at the World Championships in 2011 in | :42:38. | :42:44. | |
the team event. As an individual, her best effort is arguably third | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
place, a bronze medal at the 20 13th Asian championships in Chinese | :42:51. | :43:00. | |
Taipei. -- 2013. Laishram has a pretty good record, too, in World | :43:01. | :43:09. | |
Cups, with numerous appearances in that, like this archer from Austria, | :43:10. | :43:17. | |
Laurence Baldauff. So, Baldauff courtesy of that good start to the | :43:18. | :43:22. | |
second, might claim it with a nine or better, and she has got the nine. | :43:23. | :43:29. | |
Excellent from her. Good comeback. 24 points scored in the first set | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
and a significant improvement in the second from Laishram. | :43:34. | :43:46. | |
Likely to be seven, that one, if it lands on the line. Remember, it | :43:47. | :43:58. | |
defaults to higher number. -- the higher number. The national coach of | :43:59. | :44:04. | |
Austria, there. Giving Baldauff some wise words. It is a six star at the | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
moment, likely to be seven, that means the judges at the target end | :44:10. | :44:12. | |
of the range will have a look and see whether the arrow at the top of | :44:13. | :44:15. | |
your screen is clipped the black line. The target itself is 122 | :44:16. | :44:26. | |
centimetres in diameter. The archers shoot from 70 metres and believe me, | :44:27. | :44:30. | |
it is a very small target when you are standing on the 70 metre line. | :44:31. | :44:36. | |
It is a long way away, that target, when you are standing on the | :44:37. | :44:41. | |
shooting line. Each zone, a scoring ring, as they call it, 6.1 | :44:42. | :44:48. | |
centimetres in diameter. It makes the centre of the target, the ten | :44:49. | :44:54. | |
zone, about the size of a DVD. So that is how small the target is in | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
the centre. Laishram has the second set, 28-24. Baldauff's arrow was | :45:00. | :45:07. | |
upgraded to a seven but it did not change the result of the set so we | :45:08. | :45:10. | |
are locked up after two sets. Laurence Baldauff does not have one | :45:11. | :45:27. | |
in ten zone yet. Four nines. Bombayla Devi Laishram has one in | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
the ten zone. That is the next nearest she has had so far. | :45:33. | :45:39. | |
This looks comfortable for the Indian. She can wrap this up | :45:40. | :45:46. | |
comfortably, leading to get to 25 to win the set, so seven or better for | :45:47. | :45:54. | |
the win. Much more consistent in this match so far, just one bad | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
arrow so far, a seven in the first set. Since then she has been very | :45:59. | :46:08. | |
solid. Bombayla Devi Laishram's last six arrows, they have all been in | :46:09. | :46:10. | |
the yellow zone. Bombayla Devi Laishram has been an | :46:11. | :46:39. | |
archer for 20 years. Gold medal winner from the 2012 -- 2010 | :46:40. | :46:46. | |
Commonwealth Games in Delhi. Followed her mother into the sport, | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
who was her inspiration. She has been competing on the international | :46:52. | :46:54. | |
stage for nine years. She is starting to move into her | :46:55. | :47:12. | |
form nicely, with a solid set. A good start for Laurence Baldauff. | :47:13. | :47:18. | |
That is her best arrow so far. The first ten of the match. | :47:19. | :47:29. | |
Whoever wins will move through to the next round. Laurence Baldauff is | :47:30. | :47:37. | |
determined to ensure that she stays in the match. A mixed bag from those | :47:38. | :47:49. | |
first two arrows. What happens with a six like that is that it | :47:50. | :47:56. | |
eliminates the effectiveness of the previous arrow, which was a ten. She | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
now has the pressure of binding one in there again. The Indian can wrap | :48:02. | :48:04. | |
it up with a seven. She has got and eight, that will do | :48:05. | :48:20. | |
it. Bombayla Devi Laishram of India is going to be through to the next | :48:21. | :48:21. | |
round. Solid archery from her. She needed | :48:22. | :48:42. | |
12 arrows in all. Nine of them were in the Gold zone. Just the 110, but | :48:43. | :48:48. | |
she will be happy that she is into the next round. She has a chance of | :48:49. | :48:52. | |
Rory in her third Olympic Games. The form here of Bombayla Devi | :48:53. | :49:20. | |
Laishram much more consistent than her Austrian opponent. The Indian | :49:21. | :49:28. | |
moves through to the round of 32. Defeating Laurence Baldauff of | :49:29. | :49:29. | |
Austria. Progression into the next round for | :49:30. | :49:41. | |
the Indian. We will be back with the next stage of the men's individual | :49:42. | :49:46. | |
competition on BBC Four in a moment. Back here, as the wind comes across | :49:47. | :49:54. | |
me in our sheltered position, we have been joined by Ollie Williams. | :49:55. | :50:00. | |
Not for the first time this week, you are showing you are a lot | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
stronger when it comes to the environment, and I am weak. I did | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
not get the memo again that said we were supposed to look old, sorry! -- | :50:10. | :50:18. | |
cold! You live in the northern territories, in Canada. Away from | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
the archery, we will talk about table tennis, it is a big day in the | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
women's singles. China looking to add more gold to their trophy | :50:28. | :50:35. | |
cabinet. Yes, they get under way, we have the London 2012 champion Li | :50:36. | :50:45. | |
Xiaoxia, playing Ai Fukuhara. Li Xiaoxia has not been perfect since | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
London, she is only third in the world. She had a bout of pneumonia | :50:50. | :50:55. | |
before that. Ai Fukuhara is who I want to talk about, the Japanese | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
rival, because she is a big deal in Japan, Japan makes a big deal out of | :51:01. | :51:08. | |
their sports stars in sports that we don't focus on. She was everywhere | :51:09. | :51:11. | |
when she was 12, she would play studio guests and cry when she lost. | :51:12. | :51:18. | |
You might have views about that as a parent, but that is what she did. | :51:19. | :51:27. | |
She had a video game. You could play 12-year-old Ai Fukuhara as she takes | :51:28. | :51:30. | |
on a series of challenges involving an old salarymen who is refusing to | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
give up the game, and a Demon player. Where do you get these | :51:35. | :51:41. | |
nuggets from? She will have a difficult time in the first | :51:42. | :51:44. | |
semifinal, you can see it on BBC One. They will show that this | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
afternoon. In the second semifinal, it will feature the Olympic silver | :51:50. | :51:59. | |
medallist from 2012. That is Ding Ning, she lost to Li Xiaoxia, and it | :52:00. | :52:03. | |
got a bit Banksy, because Ai Fukuhara felt the Italian umpire was | :52:04. | :52:09. | |
biased against her. She kept getting penalties against her from the | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
umpire. One of which was for taking her towel to early. She started to | :52:14. | :52:18. | |
think it was cutting it a bit too fine. She was unimpressed that she | :52:19. | :52:23. | |
lost, she blamed it in part on her spat with the umpire. They could be | :52:24. | :52:29. | |
the possibility we have an all China final. She is playing a North | :52:30. | :52:33. | |
Korean, who is not well-known, ranked 50th in the world, but she | :52:34. | :52:36. | |
has scrapped her way through to get here. It will be interesting to | :52:37. | :52:42. | |
watch that. We could have a China rematch of the London 2012 final. | :52:43. | :52:47. | |
They have dominated the table tennis, 15 of the 16 available gold | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
medals this century. China dominating medals across the board. | :52:54. | :53:02. | |
Great Britain lagging a bit further back. It is not just table tennis | :53:03. | :53:10. | |
that they dominate. It is always China against the US in the medal | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
table, they have already picked up three gold medals each in | :53:16. | :53:19. | |
weightlifting and diving. Diving is one of the sportswear China hoped to | :53:20. | :53:26. | |
win everything. Table tennis is one. Since 2000, China have won 75% of | :53:27. | :53:32. | |
all gold medals on offer in diving. But they have not completed a clean | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
sweep of the medals. That is something they will look to do here. | :53:39. | :53:42. | |
They have three from three so far. Badminton as well. They win just | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
about everything. Then, table tennis. 24 out of 28 Olympic table | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
tennis titles in history have gone to China. Even some of the nations | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
who win table tennis medals who are not China have China born athlete. | :53:59. | :54:03. | |
The Singapore women's team from 2012 were all worn in China. They know | :54:04. | :54:08. | |
what they are doing, they stick with the sports they are very good at. | :54:09. | :54:14. | |
Information packs, another wonderful time chatting to you. Last night in | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
the swimming pool you may have seen that Michael Phelps did it again. | :54:19. | :54:24. | |
Yet another gold medal. Michael Johnson has been debating just who | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
is the greatest Olympian of all time. | :54:30. | :54:36. | |
I want everybody to know it, I am the greatest. There are those who | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
tell you straight. You cannot argue with that. For the rest of us, we | :54:41. | :54:50. | |
need to define ourselves. It combines physical strength and | :54:51. | :54:54. | |
beauty. We are constantly measuring, comparing, contrasting. A champion | :54:55. | :55:00. | |
needs determination, able to win, a killer instinct. That is the beauty | :55:01. | :55:06. | |
of sport. Every age produces its heroes. Who is the greatest? Usain | :55:07. | :55:14. | |
Bolt has blown them away. History is being made, Carl Lewis. The pretty | :55:15. | :55:22. | |
gold medal. One man stands out. He has made the 15th Olympic Games his | :55:23. | :55:29. | |
own. Through the record books, do they tell the true story? The | :55:30. | :55:35. | |
champion becomes a legend. A new Olympic and world record. Mark Spitz | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
won the gold medal every time he swam. Do the numbers add up? Michael | :55:41. | :55:50. | |
Phelps' 21st Olympic medal. If anybody sees me go near a boat, you | :55:51. | :55:54. | |
have my permission to shoot me. Great Britain get the gold medal. | :55:55. | :55:59. | |
Steve Redgrave, what a great Olympian. Is it about what touches | :56:00. | :56:06. | |
us? Faultless. That is Olympic history. The emotion? A gold medal | :56:07. | :56:19. | |
for Freeman. A moment captured in time? | :56:20. | :56:27. | |
The debate goes on and on and on. That is the beauty of sport. If we | :56:28. | :56:39. | |
have all the answers, that would be no fun at all. | :56:40. | :56:49. | |
The debate continues. You can have your own composition, who is the | :56:50. | :56:52. | |
greatest Olympian of all time? Michael Phelps has the most gold | :56:53. | :56:58. | |
medals. But get involved with the hashtag. No doubt this will run and | :56:59. | :57:06. | |
run for the rest of Olympic history. We will go back to the archery, the | :57:07. | :57:12. | |
men's individual competition continues. We will see the German | :57:13. | :57:23. | |
against the Malaysian. The men's archery continues. A round of 32 | :57:24. | :57:37. | |
match. The winner of this will be through to the last 16. | :57:38. | :57:42. | |
High stakes now, you can get to the last 16, you can move into the | :57:43. | :57:47. | |
quarterfinals. All of his arrows into the yellow | :57:48. | :58:19. | |
zone in his previous match. The 24-year-old defeated the Colombian | :58:20. | :58:27. | |
in the first round, 6-0. He is 41st in the world, but he has been as | :58:28. | :58:31. | |
high as number three, and he is competing in his second Olympics. | :58:32. | :58:45. | |
The line judge is from Egypt, --. Khairul Anuar Mohamad has the | :58:46. | :58:49. | |
experience of London 2012 under his belt. He has been a quarterfinalist | :58:50. | :58:57. | |
at the Asian games and the Asian championships in 2015 and in the | :58:58. | :59:04. | |
World Cup final in 2013. Plenty of experience, finishing in and around | :59:05. | :59:07. | |
the top eight, Khairul Anuar Mohamad. Several years on the | :59:08. | :59:12. | |
circuit. Florian Floto shop very well in the | :59:13. | :59:33. | |
first match earlier in the session. A very good performance from him. If | :59:34. | :59:38. | |
he can carry that on, he will be hard to beat. Khairul Anuar Mohamad | :59:39. | :59:43. | |
has real ability. He has the ability to lift his form when required. That | :59:44. | :59:48. | |
is what he has done here to start this match. | :59:49. | :00:04. | |
So, this one is beautifully poised. The set is going to be decided on | :00:05. | :00:21. | |
the last arrow. From both archers. Well, that is not what Floto wanted | :00:22. | :00:41. | |
and it gives Mohamad a big opportunity to win this set. This | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
arrow needs to go into the gold zone but you can see the wind and look at | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
his bow wavering. Three seconds on the shot clock. Can he get it away | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
in time? He just did, Mohamad's nine will get the job done. | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
Mohamad really doing well to steady his bow right at the end, there. Did | :01:09. | :01:18. | |
very well to bang that one into the golden zone and win the set. Tight, | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
tight moment therefore the Malaysians. -- there are, for the | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
Malaysian, as the wind just gusted up a bit. Terrific arrow to start | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
and then built a solid foundation for the Malaysian to go on and win | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
the set. By one point. 27-26 if the confirmed score in the | :01:41. | :02:00. | |
first set with Mohamad taking it. Floto waiting for the wind to die | :02:01. | :02:37. | |
down again. Started off OK in this session but it has picked up a | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
little bit and now dropped off again. Floto, oh, he got that one | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
terribly wrong, didn't he? Mohamad's bow is just... Swaying | :02:45. | :03:03. | |
from side to side, there. Tough, challenging conditions again | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
greeting the archers in this session. So, Floto now will be in a | :03:07. | :03:22. | |
challenging position here is the Malaysian can put one in the yellow | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
and he has done so with a maximum score. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
So, the Malaysian with a very big lead in the second set. | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
Looking very solid to win this one too, Mohamad. He only need five or | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
higher. -- needs. And he has done that comfortably. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
That is the issue, isn't it? What the best archers do, all the archers | :03:57. | :04:05. | |
in Rio are capable of shooting tens but the key to success is following | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
it up with another ten or another nine. It is just solid, consistent | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
archery, ten, and then a seven or eight is just going to open the door | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
for your opponent. Floto's six, there, basically, in the end, was | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
going to count him out of the set. Good shot, there, of what is | :04:25. | :04:40. | |
required to get the arrow into the ten zone is Mohamad did for the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
second time in a match. 27-23 this time, he now leads 4-0 in set | :04:46. | :04:57. | |
points. So, Floto needs a score in this set, to either share or win it | :04:58. | :04:58. | |
to prolong this match. That is a good start for the German. | :04:59. | :05:27. | |
The round of 32 at stake in the archery and Mohamad has to reset. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
That will soak up the time. The shot clock is down to five already. What | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
a recovery. The archers train for situations like that. They know | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
exactly what they have to do when they have to reset and that was very | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
impressive from Mohamad, despite the score clock and the time pressure | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
that he was under. This is what we saw from Floto in his first-round | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
match, arrow after arrow in the Gold zone. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
And now Mohamad is starting to heat up. He might need to, another ten, | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
yes. Let's see what Floto can do, here. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
Oh, he liked it from the moment it left the boat. And Mohamad will need | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
another ten to win the set and win the match. He has got an eight. | :06:27. | :06:39. | |
Well, Floto needed almost perfection there, to survive in this match, | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
just a smidgen away from getting 30 out of 30. How critical might that | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
last arrow be for the German in that set, in the context of the match? | :06:53. | :07:10. | |
Terrific archery from Florian Floto, a significant lift in that last set | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
from his previous two, a nine and two tends. And he needed them | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
because Mohamad got to tens with his first two arrows that was a high | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
scoring one, 20 9-27 and Floto stays alive in the match, now trailing 4-2 | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
in set points. But Mohamad is still in control of this one. The scenario | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
for Floto is the same as the last. He needs a point or a win in this | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
set to keep alive his dream of moving through to the last 16. The | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
clicker comes in and away goes the arrow and varies the result when you | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
get it right. That is his third successive ten. | :08:06. | :08:27. | |
Welcomer his streak is broken. -- well, his streak is broken. | :08:28. | :08:44. | |
He did that in the last set, too, Mohamad, just leaked one to the | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
right and it ended up costing him. So now, Floto can end the set, here. | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
With an eight or better, and he has got a nine. We are going to a fifth | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
set, this is impressive from the German. He has come back from 4-0 | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
down in set points and now he is locking up the match. | :09:10. | :09:19. | |
Well, now we have a match on our hands. | :09:20. | :10:02. | |
Some great replays from the various cameras we have around the range, | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
really gives you an excellent indication of what the body goes | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
through, the strain, drawing back the arrow. Most of them are in the | :10:13. | :10:23. | |
15-20 kg target. Some of them are slightly harder. Floto now locked up | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
at 4-4 in set points heading into the final set. This is a one set | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
match, whoever wins it moves through to the last 16. If it is shared, we | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
go to a one arrow shoot off and what a start from Floto, who has really | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
found his form. In these last two sets, nothing outside the Gold zone | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
since the second set, for this man. Another ten, his fifth in the match. | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
Mohamad has four. Mohamad stares that one down | :11:05. | :11:25. | |
superbly. Floto can end this match with a ten. He's got it! How is that | :11:26. | :11:40. | |
for pressure archery? A brilliant performance from Floto and his coach | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
is delighted and the Malaysian had this match at 4-0 in set points and | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
has been eliminated. This does not matter. Won't have any context in a | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
match at all even though it is a maximum. High-quality archery from | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
both archers at the end of the match but that Floto performance was | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
superb. Three tens from three in the last set and that is what he needed | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
to get through to the last 16, he needed perfection and he achieved | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
it, put a big tick next to it. Well done to Florian Floto, who has come | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
back from a 4-0 deficit to go through and win three consecutive | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
sets, knocking out Mohamad, you, who is by no means the worst archer in | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
the field, far from it. The former world number three. | :12:36. | :12:46. | |
Khairul Anuar Mohamad goes out of the tournament. And the German goes | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
through to the last 16 with a fine performance. His best performance at | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
major championships, Florian Floto, who is the winner of this match 6-4 | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
in set points. A spot in the last 16 awaits the | :13:08. | :13:20. | |
winner of the next match in the women's individual round of 32 clash | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
between Shih-Chia Lin of Chinese Taipei and Bombayla Devi Laishram of | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
India. Lin here, the beaten finalist at the World Championships last | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
year, made it all the way to the final, a wonderful performance from | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
her. She had a most comfortable win in her first-round match in the | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
individual competition, eliminating Reem Mansour of Egypt 6-0, not too | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
troubled in that match, Shih-Chia Lin, did not need to produce her | :13:56. | :13:56. | |
best form in that one. Bombayla Devi Laishram dropped a set | :13:57. | :14:07. | |
against Laurence Baldauff of Austria but recovered to win and move | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
through to this clash. She is competing in her third Olympic | :14:13. | :14:13. | |
Games, Laishram. And here is the line judge for this | :14:14. | :14:27. | |
match from Singapore. Now, India against Chinese Taipei | :14:28. | :14:43. | |
for a spot in the last 16th here. These to know each other well. They | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
have competed against each other on the circuit for a little while now, | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
these two. Laishram is a bronze medallist at the Asian championships | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
from 2013 but Lin, as I mentioned, is the defeated world champion -- | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
World Championship finalist from 2015 in Copenhagen, made it all the | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
way to the final and she starts with an eight. | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
She starts with a superb arrow. Some of her compatriots in the stands, | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
supporting her. Bombayla Devi Laishram with a big | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
advantage in the first set. That is her best one. But Bombayla | :15:33. | :16:06. | |
Devi Laishram needs just a seven to win the first set. She has achieved | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
it. With some comfort. No panic yet or cause for concern. | :16:12. | :16:46. | |
It is all about composure and discipline. Repetition on the | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
shooting line. Superb start from Bombayla Devi | :16:52. | :17:04. | |
Laishram, that set the standard and put her in a solid position to close | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
the set out. She was able to achieve it successfully. | :17:11. | :17:37. | |
That is called and eight start. They will have to wait until after the | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
set to ratify it. At the moment, it is and eight. It could be a nine. We | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
will have to wait and see. Shih-Chia Lin will be concerned, and | :17:53. | :18:08. | |
her coach. She has only been able to get one arrow so far into the gold | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
zone. The coach of the Indian women's team | :18:11. | :18:22. | |
there. Shih-Chia Lin battling, she might be on 25, so to make it | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
absolutely secure, Bombayla Devi Laishram gets a nine here,... She | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
has a ten. It does not matter, the first arrow from Shih-Chia Lin. | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
Bombayla Devi Laishram again puts in a ten when she must, and it needed | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
to count. And extreme pressure now, Shih-Chia | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
Lin. She qualified in ninth place in the | :18:52. | :19:08. | |
ranking. Unless she can get arrows into the gold zone, she will be | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
eliminated, just one out of six so far the Shih-Chia Lin. Her opponent, | :19:13. | :19:22. | |
Bombayla Devi Laishram, has four, including that, her second ten. | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
Bombayla Devi Laishram one set away from moving through to the last 16. | :19:31. | :19:47. | |
Three arrows required in the gold zone here the Shih-Chia Lin. | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
That is her first time, that is more like it. | :19:57. | :20:12. | |
Now the boot is on the other foot all of a sudden. | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
Momentum is a funny thing. Adjustments are made. A chat with | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
the coach, and all of a sudden, it can turn around quickly. | :20:28. | :20:40. | |
That has won the set for Shih-Chia Lin. She just needed seven. We will | :20:41. | :20:56. | |
head into a fourth set. Even though that is a ten from Bombayla Devi | :20:57. | :20:57. | |
Laishram. A good match. Still a lot of work to do for | :20:58. | :21:16. | |
Shih-Chia Lin. The same challenge awaits her in the fourth set as in | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
the third set, she must win it or get a tie. That will take the match | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
into a fifth set. If Bombayla Devi Laishram wins the set, she is into | :21:30. | :21:30. | |
the last 16. Shih-Chia Lin taking a deep breath. | :21:31. | :22:00. | |
The bronze medallist from the team event, silver medallist from the | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
last World Championships in the individual. She needs at least a tie | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
in the set to have any chance, and that is not going to help. A | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
disappointing start. Now it is exceedingly difficult, as | :22:16. | :22:30. | |
Bombayla Devi Laishram puts one in the ten. A comeback from Shih-Chia | :22:31. | :22:39. | |
Lin, but she will be there battling now. | :22:40. | :22:59. | |
She has got a nine, and the Indian goes through to the next round. The | :23:00. | :23:21. | |
silver medallist from the last World Championships is out of this Olympic | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
Games. Defeated by Bombayla Devi Laishram. A very fine performance | :23:26. | :23:37. | |
from the 31-year-old. She defeats the highly rated archer from Chinese | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
Taipei. A good match. In the end, it has been the Indian who has been the | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
more consistent, just two outside the gold zone in the match, and | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
paired with Shih-Chia Lin, who did not shoot well in this one. She had | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
seven outside the gold zone, that is not good enough. She knows that is | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
not enough to get through to the next match. The winner is Bombayla | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
Devi Laishram. Fantastic performance there by the | :24:14. | :24:26. | |
Indian archer. We will show more of the archery on the BBC sport | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
website, the Red Button and the BBC Sport app. Plenty of ways you can | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
follow the archery, if that is what you want to watch. | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
Repetition, it is an art, day in, day out. Eat, sleep, train, repeat. | :24:49. | :25:00. | |
Mastering skills. Building your strength. There are no short cuts. | :25:01. | :25:12. | |
They say practice makes perfect. It is true. | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
This is about fine tuning. Precision. Most of all, it is about | :25:19. | :25:28. | |
passion. That is what drives you to be better. It gives you the strength | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
to go again and again. So you keep going. Until you are ready to | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
deliver. When it really counts. That is the art of repetition. | :25:46. | :25:55. | |
Eat, sleep, train, repeat. That is what it takes to become an Olympian, | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
especially in gymnastics, it is all about routine. After the Great | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
Britain team finished fourth in the men's team final and fifth in the | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
women's, they are still looking for a medal. It could come to light in | :26:10. | :26:18. | |
the form of a certain Max Whitlock. Gymnastics is my life. I have done | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
it since I was seven. It has been an amazing journey. It has made me who | :26:27. | :26:35. | |
I am. In 2015 Max Whitlock won an historic world gold medal, a | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
stunning feat, but before that, a mystery illness had almost ended his | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
year before it began. It was stressful. The beginning of last | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
year. I remember saying to my parents at the beginning of the | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
year, I feel the fittest I have been, then two weeks down the line, | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
the first year of the English championships, it was that area | :26:59. | :27:00. | |
rating. Within a week I went from making routines clean to not being | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
able to do a few skills in combination. I had glandular fever. | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
It was a relief. It lasted three months. It motivated me even more to | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
get back in, it helped me push so hard to produce the results I did at | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
the end of the year. Max Whitlock is the pommel horse world champion! The | :27:23. | :27:33. | |
first time a British men's gymnast has won the gold medal at the World | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
Championships. How many times a day are you here? Six days a week, | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
between five and seven hours a day. It is a great atmosphere to be in, | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
all the guys that I train with. He has never been a superstar. I was | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
told once he struggled to make a team, because his feet and point and | :27:57. | :27:58. | |
stuff like that. But because his feet bend the other | :27:59. | :28:08. | |
way, it helps him stick the dismount. It is because of his feet. | :28:09. | :28:17. | |
It is strange, how it turns out. His forte, he can compete under | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
pressure, late without getting affected by it. This is your | :28:21. | :28:28. | |
specialism. You have mastered this. This is my strongest piece, | :28:29. | :28:35. | |
definitely. A lot of my focus is honoured, I do double sessions every | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
day, I do more than any other piece on this piece of apparatus. At what | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
point do you get your first look at the Olympic Mulhall is and how it | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
feels and what it looks like? The exact one, we will have one | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
opportunity, on podium training, a few days before qualification. That | :28:56. | :28:58. | |
is our only opportunity to see what it is like. That is a beautiful | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
routine, Max Whitlock is challenging for a medal. That was super stuff. | :29:05. | :29:13. | |
That was first-class! I was only 19, not expected to produce any results. | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
I helped with the team result, that is the first time we did it in a | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
hundred years. Nobody can ever take that away from these boys. For me to | :29:23. | :29:28. | |
get an individual bronze was unreal. I did not feel under the radar, I | :29:29. | :29:35. | |
was so pleased with my achievement. How does it feel to have overtaken | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
Louis Smith a bit? You are top dog now. It is still a close | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
competition, we both have high scores, we just need to produce | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
clean routines, but it is pushing both of us even more, which is best | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
for our team. What is it like, going into an Olympic Games as reigning | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
world champion? Some people see it as more pressure, but I see it as a | :30:02. | :30:04. | |
result in my bag, it calms me, knowing I have it. The Olympics is | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
the pinnacle of everyone's career, it would be hard for it not to be | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
overwhelming. I can't wait to compete. | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
Katherine Downes doing the report frost and talk all things men's | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
all-round individual final tonight, Craig Heap, the former Great Britain | :30:25. | :30:30. | |
gymnast has joined us. I think it is drizzling indoors now! I think it is | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
actually. We brought the weather from Manchester to Brazil. Feels | :30:35. | :30:40. | |
like home! Warm and lovely! Max Whitlock is a superstar, a real one, | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
and we have not had many of those in gymnastics over the years. It brings | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
pressure doesn't it? He is the flag bearer. As we saw in qualification, | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
things can go wrong for him. He seems to be one of those gymnasts | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
that has a shaky start and grows into the competition. You probably | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
think is the rounds go on people get more tired but he seems to get | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
better and better. Last year in the World Championships, the same kind | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
of qualification, a bit poor, went to the all-around final, Bell on the | :31:13. | :31:19. | |
high bar and ended up fifth. In 2014, Paul qualification, ended up | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
with an all-round silver medal, matching that of Daniel Keatings. We | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
know he has got the capability to get onto the podium. He's definitely | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
got it in him but in qualification this time around it did not go all | :31:32. | :31:37. | |
of his way. Let's look at how Max managed to get into the top eight in | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
the finals but it was not his day in particular and he had trouble with | :31:42. | :31:45. | |
the volt. It's a really difficult one, the triple twist, and he has | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
worked on his start value so he needs the difficulty. That is | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
wonderful Mark gone. We know he can add a full mark on to that which | :31:55. | :31:59. | |
will push into the 89s. I think honestly to get the podium, you need | :32:00. | :32:04. | |
90 plus. You can see, he blocks off the volt, wrapping three twists, not | :32:05. | :32:11. | |
many bigger vaults, not all the way around, hips slightly back and he | :32:12. | :32:16. | |
falls over. One mark lost. You would like to think he will take that | :32:17. | :32:18. | |
experience and know what can go wrong and put it right in the final. | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
Again, he lost a mark in the high bar as well which is a bit of a | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
lottery sometimes when you are putting in so much difficulty. You | :32:27. | :32:33. | |
can see, does something called a Markolov over the bar and catches in | :32:34. | :32:36. | |
a mixed grip and when your hands are so close together, it is so | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
difficult to crush your hands and get the right hand on top of the | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
bar. That was the real problem with that. But he went in the team | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
competition and did that a lot better and performed his fault a lot | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
better which will give him the confidence to be right up for this | :32:51. | :32:57. | |
all-round fight. -- is vault. It's going to be at it and fight because | :32:58. | :33:02. | |
he's not the only one going in the all-around final, Nile Wilson has | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
risen to the stage. I was with him in the village a couple of days ago | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
and he is so excited to be here. He is just free and flying. He | :33:11. | :33:17. | |
absolutely has the performance aspect of gymnastics. You can see | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
him land and he's like, "Come on!" It's a bit like a scene from | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
Braveheart. But that is what sport is all about. You have to be able to | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
perform. He reminds me a bit of Max, four years ago before London. Nobody | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
had heard of Max Whitlock and suddenly, he's on the podium picking | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
up a bronze medal behind Louis Smith. The last four years, it has | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
all been about Max Whitlock is going to do this and can he perform under | :33:44. | :33:48. | |
pressure? Actually, Nile Wilson is going to go into this, he qualified | :33:49. | :33:51. | |
in fifth place and he's got the capability of hitting the 90s so if | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
you are a betting man, I'd put a few quid on him. And his dad is here as | :33:57. | :34:02. | |
well. How do you put this? He has propositioned exactly what he might | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
do with Nile Wilson gets on the podium. He has indeed, a few years | :34:07. | :34:11. | |
ago when we saw Nile win his first-ever medal, he had his shirt | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
off and I saw him, I was running back into the gymnastics and ran | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
into his dad, union Jack shirt, his mum with a union Jack dress, his | :34:21. | :34:23. | |
sister with Team GB everything. And I asked if the shirt was coming. He | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
said he has not been to the gym that nothing that you have nothing. If | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
Nile Wilson does well, keep your eyes peeled on the audience because | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
we will have a seminaked Mr Wilson. Mr Wilson is going to get naked | :34:40. | :34:43. | |
tonight, it kicks off at 8pm UK time. The competition will be tough, | :34:44. | :34:47. | |
Oleg Verniaiev, the Ukrainian, was the top qualifier in the all-around | :34:48. | :34:52. | |
and just behind him, the six time world champion, who tomorrow, the | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
one to beat. He certainly years and that what the real shock of | :34:57. | :35:01. | |
qualification, he made mistakes. Actually, everyone has talked about | :35:02. | :35:06. | |
could anyone beat him for the last couple of years and looks like he | :35:07. | :35:10. | |
could be beta now. Alex Wyatt, probably the best in Europe with | :35:11. | :35:17. | |
Max. He posted a massive 91.8 something. The first time anyone has | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
gone in front of the Japanese in the last 12 months. In the team | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
competition, Ukraine were very smart. They realised they had no | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
chance of winning the team medal. They rested him. Everyone was | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
wondering what elegant and I have was but smart, he did two pieces of | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
apparatus so in the competition, he's only done eight routines. Max | :35:40. | :35:45. | |
has done 12. But for Max, actually, it works better for him. It's not | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
going to be an easy ride for anyone to get onto the podium tonight. | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
China, very strong. Deng qualified up there as well and you will have | :35:56. | :36:02. | |
the American and the Russia, excelled in taking the team silver | :36:03. | :36:06. | |
medal, led by David Belyavskiy. Also, let's think about Manrique | :36:07. | :36:13. | |
Larduet from Cuba. No one had heard of him going into last year's World | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
Championships and he qualified in about 15th place, but took the | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
all-around silver medal. It is going to be probably one of the most | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
exciting competitions of the whole gymnastics tournament. All right, | :36:27. | :36:31. | |
keep an eye out for him and also the Team GB voice. Let's look at how | :36:32. | :36:33. | |
they will match up tonight because you will be in the arena this | :36:34. | :36:40. | |
evening. Max qualified in 12th, as Craig was alluding to. Nile Wilson | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
finished fifth in qualification so they will kick off with these. Good | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
for Max to get on his pommel horse bust up? Absolutely, that is best | :36:51. | :36:54. | |
piece of apparatus by Miles and he can post 16. We have not seen many | :36:55. | :36:59. | |
of those in the competition. I think if he starts off on pommel horse and | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
goes into the lead, it will do his confidence knowing that good. But | :37:03. | :37:08. | |
likewise, Nile will start strongly in full. The top gymnast from | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
qualification start on floor and do the Olympic order and then the next | :37:13. | :37:16. | |
batch go down. I think it is good for Max not to be in the leading | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
group with all the spotlight on them. But likewise, Nile is going to | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
take the fight to the big guns. He will love that environment! Against | :37:27. | :37:32. | |
the best in the world. I think it is a good draw for both of them. Max | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
will finish on the floor. This is something that he has qualified for | :37:38. | :37:43. | |
the floor final. He posted 15.5 in qualification and did a bit better, | :37:44. | :37:47. | |
his routine, I think, did not score as well in the team event but he is | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
going to score well on the last piece of apparatus. It is going to | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
go down to the wire. Six rotations. That means they have got to hit six | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
out of six routines if they want to get on the rostrum. No time for the | :38:00. | :38:03. | |
box, put your money where your mouth is, who's going to come out on top, | :38:04. | :38:09. | |
Wilson all with clock? My mind is thinking, the experience of | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
Whitlock, but who would I like to see? In sport, I always like to see | :38:14. | :38:18. | |
an underdog doing well, so if Nile Wilson can get up there, I would be | :38:19. | :38:23. | |
so pleased for the young man. And the prospect of his father getting | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
his chest out Dier dragger maybe not! Can I change my mind? It is all | :38:28. | :38:34. | |
set up, 8pm this evening, the chance to see the GB men doing battle in | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
the all-around individual final this evening. Craig Heap, we will see you | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
then. Thank you for joining us. We are going to move on from gymnastics | :38:44. | :38:48. | |
now and talk about water polo. We will feature the nine time Olympic | :38:49. | :38:51. | |
champions Hungary in the men's competition, the greatest water polo | :38:52. | :38:55. | |
nation of all time. Before we get to the action. Here is a guide. | :38:56. | :39:03. | |
Water polo has been an Olympic sport since 1900 in Paris. There are seven | :39:04. | :39:12. | |
players in a team, six so-called outfield players and a goalkeeper. | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
But they are allowed six reserves and unlimited substitutions. | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
Substitutes are crucial because of the gruelling nature of the sport | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
with players not allowed to touch the bottom of the pool at any point | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
during a match. The best way to stay upright and ready is to keep the | :39:28. | :39:30. | |
legs moving alternately backwards and forwards in what is known as the | :39:31. | :39:35. | |
eggbeater motion. There are two important lines in water polo, the | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
two metre line and a five metre line. The two metre line is two | :39:41. | :39:43. | |
metres from the goal and the attacking team are not allowed to | :39:44. | :39:46. | |
pass this line unless they have possession of the ball or it is | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
already in that area. If an attacking player is fouled within | :39:51. | :39:53. | |
five metres of the goal, the referee can award a penalty shot from the | :39:54. | :39:57. | |
five metre line. If a foul is committed further out than five | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
metres, a free throw is awarded. Goalkeepers are allowed to use two | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
hands during playback outfield players can only use one hand at the | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
time. The game is split into four quarters of eight minutes but | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
although the total playing time is only 32 minutes, the game usually | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
lasts for over an hour because it is stopped and started regularly. Each | :40:18. | :40:20. | |
quarter begins with the two teams lined up on their goal lines and | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
when the referee blows the whistle, the team's sprint towards the ball | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
in the centre of the pool. A shot clock controls the time for shooting | :40:29. | :40:32. | |
in water polo because when in possession, teams only have 30 | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
seconds to shoot at goal. We have been enjoying the water polo | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
on BBC Four and we have another matchup for you that will tickle the | :40:43. | :40:45. | |
taste buds. We are going to watch Greece against Hungary. Joining them | :40:46. | :40:51. | |
in the second quarter. In the first quarter, we saw the Greeks take the | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
early lead, the bronze medallists from 2012, going ahead after a | :40:57. | :41:02. | |
couple of minutes down there in the Aquatics Centre but you cannot hold | :41:03. | :41:05. | |
the Hungarian is down and they were quick to equalise after that. They | :41:06. | :41:10. | |
scored two late goals at the end of the first quarter. So they go into | :41:11. | :41:18. | |
the second quarter leading 2-1. Greece won their first game Andrew | :41:19. | :41:21. | |
against Serbia in the second. Hungary have had two draws out of | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
two so far. So both teams really need to win to boost their chances | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
of qualifying in a good position for the knockout stages. Hungary, as I | :41:33. | :41:40. | |
said, taking the lead at the end of the first quarter. We are going to | :41:41. | :41:43. | |
join the Common Terry down there at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre in | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
the second quarter, Brent Pope talking us through a rather green | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
looking pool in the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre. Brent, over to you. | :41:52. | :41:59. | |
COMMENTATOR: Still overcast in Rio's Olympic park. This is the Maria Lenk | :42:00. | :42:09. | |
Aquatics Centre, named after the famous Brazilian swimmer. Renovated, | :42:10. | :42:20. | |
this centre, for these Olympics. And what a powerful scene, there is, as | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
we just see how desperate they are to open with possession but it will | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
be Hungary. They have a size and power advantage and some of that | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
tells in the opening sprint off, for sure. In a straight line, without | :42:38. | :42:40. | |
having to deal with another player on new. And equally, the wrestle to | :42:41. | :42:48. | |
get the ball in control when you finally get there. Hungary in the | :42:49. | :42:57. | |
loop cap, trying to get to a team-mate. Gabor Kis, who is | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
dangerous from there. He does not get it the first time, from the | :43:02. | :43:07. | |
outside, a bit of a hitch, trying to pull him one way or the other, he is | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
patient and waiting. The shot maybe from Varga, he elects to off-load. | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
From this distance, a Greek arm gets up and a good defensive stance from | :43:18. | :43:19. | |
the Greeks. All of the medals at Olympic level | :43:20. | :43:39. | |
in the pool at the moment belong to the Hungarian programme. They have | :43:40. | :43:43. | |
not won one in the men's water polo, Greece. But they are giving | :43:44. | :43:49. | |
themselves as good a chance to qualify for this quarterfinal round | :43:50. | :43:54. | |
and a goal right here will continue to stand them in good stead. Hungary | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
have not been able to convert as yet. One from one with the player | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
advantages for Greece, they will need a second, here. They would love | :44:06. | :44:10. | |
to keep this at a 100% record. Thought he would shoot, the wide | :44:11. | :44:13. | |
side is available and there it is, right in the back, in the heart of | :44:14. | :44:19. | |
the goal! What a shot from the Greek, and it was a punishing | :44:20. | :44:30. | |
delivery, probably with the right, and the shot comes in and it has got | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
punch on it from Alexander's Gooners. -- Alexandra 's Gooners. A | :44:36. | :44:43. | |
ripping to the right side of goal. He will take it. That looked to be a | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
much more surgical approach. His first Olympic Games, -- Gounas and | :44:50. | :45:04. | |
that is his first Olympic gold. -- goal. A battle going on and it leads | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
to an exclusion for the Greek player will stop a shot there, quickly | :45:09. | :45:11. | |
coming back, no time wasted, very definite approach are there, from | :45:12. | :45:20. | |
Balazs Erdelyi. You can see him appealing and looking to the sky. | :45:21. | :45:23. | |
That is the kind of confidence from the Hungarian is, the strike, you | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
can see it, there is the leaving Greek defender. -- Hungarians. When | :45:29. | :45:37. | |
you try to make sense that kind of mayhem, that is tough and that is | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
just under the right arm and a little bit of daylight is struck at | :45:41. | :45:43. | |
right time. A shot from the Hungarian. | :45:44. | :45:57. | |
Three goals so far in their tournament, his first of the day. | :45:58. | :46:11. | |
Match in the three for both teams, this is day five of the men's water | :46:12. | :46:15. | |
polo competition. Greece again searching for the | :46:16. | :46:30. | |
levelling marker. It goes off the outside of the goal frame. It looks | :46:31. | :46:36. | |
to be a confident sense from that position. Finally, it is released, | :46:37. | :46:44. | |
but it is too tight to goal. Georgios Dervisis has a couple of | :46:45. | :46:48. | |
major filed against him, he is one away from being suspended. Just for | :46:49. | :46:52. | |
this match. That is what three major fouls and | :46:53. | :47:04. | |
man two. It is a save from Konstantinos Flegkas. Looking a bit | :47:05. | :47:11. | |
more anxious in his eyes that he has done. The Hungarians are | :47:12. | :47:25. | |
unrelenting. Five blocked shots. That is maybe entirely wide there | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
has been a hazard and Greek approach. A stronger, more | :47:32. | :47:37. | |
considered defensive structure in this match, Hungary. That is helping | :47:38. | :47:43. | |
their goalkeeper no end. That was wasteful. It seemed to be a | :47:44. | :48:01. | |
halfway house between taking a shot and trying to drop it to the centre | :48:02. | :48:04. | |
forward position, and it was neither. | :48:05. | :48:11. | |
You see the cap coming off of the Hungary and player. He gets back | :48:12. | :48:23. | |
into a good position. That is of the frame. It was a long way from goal. | :48:24. | :48:33. | |
It was almost fruitful again. Look at that shot. It had enough to beat | :48:34. | :48:41. | |
Viktor Nagy, but it was not quite accurate enough from Ioannis | :48:42. | :48:46. | |
Fountoulis. He is one they can count on. Just could not quite make it | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
count on that shot. Hungary would like a bit of | :48:52. | :49:04. | |
daylight. It is a strange ploy to go back and. It might be an injury to | :49:05. | :49:10. | |
the Greece player. We see him breathing heavy. He got that right | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
in the face. That was startled you as much as anything. I have not seen | :49:16. | :49:23. | |
that from that distance. You wonder if it is an intimidating shop to buy | :49:24. | :49:25. | |
some space. It will lead to an exclusion. A | :49:26. | :49:37. | |
couple of incidents where Hungary are progressing this Greek team. | :49:38. | :49:45. | |
Using their physical strength to play an aggressive brand of water | :49:46. | :49:55. | |
polo. Rising up, right there, inside -- on the side of the head. I have | :49:56. | :50:05. | |
not seen that approach. It was Norbert Hosnyanszky, the veteran, in | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
his third Olympic Games. The spinning round has shot, the full | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
force taken by the Greek defender, right in the head. That is hard | :50:15. | :50:22. | |
work. It is not entirely how you want to play defence. It is more by | :50:23. | :50:26. | |
circumstance than by design. A couple of major fouls from | :50:27. | :50:41. | |
Kyriakos Pontikeas. Greece are feeling the weight of the Hungary in | :50:42. | :50:47. | |
attack. They do well there to get away without conceding. They will | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
take it. They are keeping themselves in touch. The tight games. Every | :50:53. | :51:04. | |
little possession, trying to tie at the defence, is a part of gaining | :51:05. | :51:13. | |
advantage for later in the match. So much harder to play defence than | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
fence. That is a great save from Viktor Nagy. It seems to be a | :51:20. | :51:25. | |
preferred position, the right driving area on that side. Those are | :51:26. | :51:34. | |
save that are impacting on the final scoreline. It could have jumped over | :51:35. | :51:44. | |
Viktor Nagy, he was anticipating it. It could have been a hitch and a | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
lofted shot up and over. But here they will come. | :51:50. | :52:01. | |
Hungary have been weighing heavily on Greece in their defensive half. | :52:02. | :52:09. | |
They will have to give it up. The work begins to get back into | :52:10. | :52:12. | |
defensive formation. Greece may be need to employ a | :52:13. | :52:29. | |
different approach. They will have to be efficient with their shots. | :52:30. | :52:38. | |
You have to execute. Viktor Nagy is enjoying himself, as good a spell as | :52:39. | :52:44. | |
he has had. A couple of point-blank saves being made. He needs that, to | :52:45. | :52:56. | |
Will his team on. They are trying to increase their lead and take it to a | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
2-goal margin. It is deflected up and over. One more time Greece | :53:01. | :53:05. | |
holding them at bay, they have a chance to level this match in the | :53:06. | :53:08. | |
closing stages of the first half. A time-out from Theodoros Vlachos. | :53:09. | :53:22. | |
Let's settle things down one more time. | :53:23. | :53:38. | |
The Greece fans up and at them in support of their team. How will this | :53:39. | :53:49. | |
one go? They have had a strong tournament so far. Six teams in each | :53:50. | :53:58. | |
group. Only the top four go through. A strong save percentage so far from | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
Konstantinos Flegkas, doing his part. Over 60%. It is those margins, | :54:03. | :54:20. | |
between 60 and 70, that make the difference between the scoreline at | :54:21. | :54:29. | |
this level. Viktor Nagy is at 60%. Anything in that region and better | :54:30. | :54:30. | |
is good going. The referee not quite happy yet. It | :54:31. | :54:52. | |
is blocked out. They is the expiration of the shot clock. | :54:53. | :55:00. | |
The time-out called by the Hungarians. It is half-time. They | :55:01. | :55:13. | |
allowed the clock to continue. They will take the credit at half-time. | :55:14. | :55:21. | |
It is all business in the men's water polo. | :55:22. | :55:23. | |
We will be back to the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre shortly. We will | :55:24. | :55:32. | |
leave it there, with Hungary leading 3-2. We are back in a minute, but | :55:33. | :55:38. | |
let's bring you up to date with the weather. To do my best Michael Fish | :55:39. | :55:44. | |
impression, we are dry, but the weather is doing whatever it wants. | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
We have had wet, wind, it has tried now, but it is still pretty murky | :55:50. | :55:57. | |
and horrible. As we were telling you, the weather has put paid to the | :55:58. | :56:01. | |
roving schedule until further notice. We will not have any rowing | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
today. This is the state of affairs. You can see how choppy it is. The | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
weather has postponed the tennis schedule. Unfortunately, no roof | :56:14. | :56:22. | |
here. This is Centre Court. People looking up at the sky, wondering if | :56:23. | :56:28. | |
we will see any tennis today. Andy Murray and Johanna Konta scheduled | :56:29. | :56:31. | |
to be in action, but for now, you have to sit and wait. Hopefully we | :56:32. | :56:38. | |
will have some tennis on the fifth day of the Olympics. Thankfully the | :56:39. | :56:43. | |
weather has not stopped the road race, the time trial is taking place | :56:44. | :56:52. | |
today. Kristin Armstrong of the USA has made it three consecutive | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
Olympic medals, the 42-year-old, who retired after 2012, came back out of | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
retirement, and what a great decision. How happy she is. She beat | :57:03. | :57:11. | |
the Russian and the Dutch woman, who won the road race earlier on in the | :57:12. | :57:16. | |
competition. She goes away with two medals, a gold and a bronze. Let's | :57:17. | :57:25. | |
check in on what is going on with the men's Road race. The time trial | :57:26. | :57:30. | |
is under way. You can see this on the Red Button. Chris Froome will be | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
taking to the road later. Slippery conditions. I don't know if we will | :57:36. | :57:41. | |
see any record times, but Chris Froome will be riding on the men's | :57:42. | :57:47. | |
time trial, hoping to add to the bronze medal he won in 2012. That is | :57:48. | :57:52. | |
on the Red Button. Next on BBC One, it is boxing, and Great Britain's | :57:53. | :57:59. | |
bantamweight Qais Ashfaq will take to the ring in 45 minutes for his | :58:00. | :58:06. | |
first encounter. Here on BBC Four, let's get back to water polo, it is | :58:07. | :58:10. | |
Greece against Hungary at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, Hungary | :58:11. | :58:12. | |
leading going into the second half. Making sure he is happy, and the | :58:13. | :58:20. | |
whistle is blown. Hungary have been stronger. Not so | :58:21. | :58:35. | |
fast now. Greece will take control, in the whitecaps, from left to right | :58:36. | :58:44. | |
in the second half. Back to a full complement of players. The first | :58:45. | :58:51. | |
shot from Greece, that was as good a look as they have had, and the blogs | :58:52. | :58:58. | |
continue to mount up for Hungary. A big part of it for the goalkeeping | :58:59. | :59:02. | |
percentage is changing the goal-scoring opportunities. Another | :59:03. | :59:09. | |
save from Konstantinos Flegkas. He gets his hand on it. Both teams as | :59:10. | :59:16. | |
willing to shoot early... That was going in, without a doubt. The | :59:17. | :59:20. | |
right-hand doing enough to ricochet the ball into a free throw, and play | :59:21. | :59:26. | |
will continue for Hungary in the offensive portion of the poor. | :59:27. | :59:35. | |
The whistle comes, it leads to an exclusion. The extra player, the | :59:36. | :59:39. | |
advantage for Hungary. It is building, the calm before the | :59:40. | :59:52. | |
flurry. It does not need to be a long one, it could be a quick | :59:53. | :59:57. | |
strike. There it is, right on the button. The defence do enough to | :59:58. | :00:06. | |
keep that approach at bay. All the way forward. The quick transition | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
from Greece, they can take a chance to level. It is 3-3. | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
He took off as if he was in his own pool, all the way forward. They will | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
not be able to defend that one. We have seen those opportunities not | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
converted. That was a little bit of a kitchen movement right over the | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
head. Probably the best place for it. The arms more difficult to get | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
right above the head of a keeper than they are to get left and right. | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
That is a critical, transitional counterattack from Greece. They have | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
levelled it. The struggle. For a closer | :00:56. | :01:16. | |
proximity. A better angle and equally, enough fitness involved to | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
keep them honest, with a little bit of a lofted toss over it but it is | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
well beyond the crossbar. For the first time, in a considerable chunk | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
of this match, Greece have a chance to go and take the lead. | :01:34. | :01:52. | |
They have got it again and just like that, they turn this thing around. | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
The second half is very kind indeed to the Greeks. He has to wonder if | :02:01. | :02:11. | |
this will be a moment that the Hungarians really rue that shot. | :02:12. | :02:30. | |
That meant everything for the Greeks and they will catch -- catch that in | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
and Genidounias with his second Olympic gold. His first Olympic | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
Games. My goodness. We have really seen two different complexions to | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
this match so far. The Hungarians ball Don King at times, they have | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
really been a physical force, showing some real range and skill in | :03:02. | :03:14. | |
their shooting. Here come the Greeks again. They have someone to keep | :03:15. | :03:15. | |
coming. He might have made better work of | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
that attempt. You always feel when you shoot it softly, and it is not | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
successful, that you really could have given it a better crack than | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
that. The idea to counterattack by the | :03:34. | :03:48. | |
Hungarians is quickly thwarted and that was a hostile delivery. You | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
think there may be would have got better but that was a fair, honest | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
crack at it. This approach could lead them to control in this match. | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
A promising strike, it ricochets over and they get the benefit of | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
another 30 seconds and that is a favourable ricochet. We cannot | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
legislate further. As to where the ball will end up. It could go any | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
direction. Steady and constructive build-up | :04:27. | :04:42. | |
from the Greeks. Is this a violation from behind the Greek player? You | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
see the resignation of the Hungarian defender, that is Adam Dekker, the | :04:50. | :05:02. | |
centre back. They will get the opportunity you muck straight up on | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
a penalty shot. The Greeks with a glorious chance. | :05:06. | :05:20. | |
They will score and look at that moment. Delighted as Gounas pumps | :05:21. | :05:31. | |
his right fist. This was the battle that in stewed, that led to the call | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
and that moment for Greece could in fact be decisive when it comes time | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
to determining the quarterfinal participants. Gounas, what a goal | :05:45. | :05:56. | |
and what a moment for the Greeks. His second goal of these games. His | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
first games. Both of them, he has got in this particular matchup. The | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
whistle coming in one more time. Hungary really need to express their | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
intention. They cannot spot for much longer. They had the lead at | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
half-time. They have let three goals in already and nothing for | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
themselves. There is a feed, pretty strong defence. A look to the | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
central position. That is a torpedo of right arm and it comes in | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
harrowing, and the veteran finds the mark, showing leadership when they | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
need it. Hosnyanszky brings the thunder, it is a sledgehammer. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Hosnyanszky delighted, as is the coach. | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
Not so fast for the Greeks trying to increase their lead. This will be | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
jostled back and forth now. Different angles being presented to | :07:17. | :07:38. | |
the Greeks but there are again ways back. They can score from there. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
There is another strike and another return and look at that. Mourikis | :07:44. | :07:56. | |
with the approving head nod and rightly so, he was under all sorts | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
of a fronting from the Hungarian defender. Double fist points. He | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
just overcooked it a little bit and the referee is saying, you really | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
need to keep that in check because that is on the edge of being | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
unsportsmanlike. Interesting moment but it doesn't prove costly. This is | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
his second Olympics. 175 international matches. That will be | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
his fifth Olympic gold. Wow. That was a strike that shows you the | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Hungarians have now locked it down and they are just going to take | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
their chances when they come. The feed right into the heart of the | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
defence. Strong, append a ball flight. There he is, the | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
29-year-old. He just takes his second goal of the match. From the | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
opportunities he has had. Just nine minutes he has played in this one. | :09:11. | :09:21. | |
But they have been affected. Dekker right on the cusp with the two major | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
fouls. The order of the Decker brothers on this Hungarian seed | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
inside two minutes now. Inside five seconds on the shot clock. | :09:37. | :09:47. | |
In the end, his team-mate had it from him and this is the | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
communication going on, that the pass from the defender, to the | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
goalkeeper is a grey area in water polo and that is why they were | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
appealing so heavily. They come right back and level it but it goes | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
off the frame and now you are sensing the tension rising. That is | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
the double coconut of the right post and then off the goalkeeper's head. | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
Pinball action inside the Greek goal. But they will take that if it | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
means it stays out. The referee just wanting to bring a little bit of | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
calm to proceedings but it is a time out that has been called by the | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
Greeks. They need to take this possession and go forward and try to | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
reassert themselves and re-establish that two goal lead. Vlachos got a | :10:40. | :10:50. | |
yellow card, he will need to keep calm. That was for appealing they | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
should be something in it. Szivos also an two major fouls. Everyone is | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
getting a clear warning out to say, let's keep a bit of calm to | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
proceedings here. Before somebody is going to have to leave the party. | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
Back to action and it will be Greece in the whitecaps to take control. | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
They would love to try to manage the remaining minutes of this and also | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
get a return for their efforts to increase their scoreline. And | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
increased the advantage. A little bit of savvy there. They are | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
suggesting they are being restrained. The way you see the head | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
coming back. It is a little bit about managing what the referees do | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
see as well. It is often impossible, I suspect, to see everything, | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
especially with the splashing water and what is going on underneath the | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
surface. Now, they are inside of 30 seconds | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
remaining in this period. They have now ten seconds there and they have | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
given it up. The referee is not happy. Hungry good level again. They | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
have the same struggle but they carry on. Decker suggesting he got a | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
knuckle sandwich in the right cheekbone. I suspect that isn't the | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
first time that has happened. Time out from the Hungarians. This | :12:36. | :12:52. | |
is a chance for them to level the match. They know they have to take | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
it. Hungry with control at 24 seconds in | :12:56. | :13:28. | |
this third period. And the hands grapple again. The proverbial ear | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
twist. It is tough to get it. They have turned it over. The Greek | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
player had an anchor on him. Pretty considerable anger. ?220 of | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Hungarian player. They will shoot from a distance. | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
Greece probably quite content in fairness. Considering where they | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
were at the end of half-time. After three periods of play, instead of | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
being behind by one, they are up by one. | :14:08. | :14:36. | |
Under way, the opening sprint. Well taken by Greece. They won that one | :14:37. | :14:58. | |
by at least a stroke. In the whitecaps. Hungary really pushing to | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
address their defence as far away from their own goal as they have | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
done. It creates more space when that pass does release. It really is | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
shades of grey. . The long-range shot goes to the | :15:18. | :15:29. | |
right of goal. Now a sense of calm settles over the | :15:30. | :15:52. | |
pool area. The crowd are tensely anticipating. There could be drama | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
for both sides. Hungary are now having to work against that shot | :16:04. | :16:11. | |
clock. They strike with lethal force! What a moment to grab. That | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
is Daniel Varga who takes his moment. And he takes it with a | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
world-class delivery to the bottom left side of goal. It says it all. | :16:27. | :16:42. | |
Benedek, willing his team to take these chances. Varga gets a | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
tremendous return for that approach. Greece are now going to have to | :16:46. | :17:35. | |
retreat. They were behind, but they quickly struck to take the lead. Now | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
it's level again. One more time. It's a quick striking opportunity. | :17:44. | :18:01. | |
This looks like a rejuvenated offensive machine, the Hungarians. | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
They are going to take their chances from wide and from distance. Up goes | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
the Greece player. It is a hesitant approach from the | :18:15. | :18:37. | |
Hungarians. The whistle had blown before. I don't think they will | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
allow that. What is happening? Punching is being claimed. Fleck as | :18:43. | :18:54. | |
-- Konstantinos Flegkas says that is just not water polo. It was getting | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
beyond the bounds of what should be allowed, was his suggestion. | :18:59. | :19:32. | |
The shot has to be taken by somebody, and it is accusing | :19:33. | :19:56. | |
approach from the inside. That is potentially a strike to glory. The | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
seventh goal for Hungary. And all of that posturing and all of what was | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
going on physically between him and the Greek defenders ultimately leads | :20:09. | :20:19. | |
to that. He has seized his moment, Balazs Harai. | :20:20. | :20:30. | |
A trio of goals, his hat-trick for the day. Good work from the man with | :20:31. | :20:53. | |
over 200 caps. But where does that goal sit in the final tally of this | :20:54. | :21:06. | |
match? Five minutes to be played. Greece need to rejuvenate | :21:07. | :21:17. | |
themselves. It will have to be eight piece of skill. Hungary are going to | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
lose a man. That will encourage Greece. The shot goes off the gold | :21:24. | :21:40. | |
frame. It stays in the playing area. That shot had all sorts of tempo on | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
it. A clean approach here from Greece. | :21:43. | :22:05. | |
They get the Brek Shea of Nagy -- the ricochet. A stroke of genius. | :22:06. | :22:24. | |
Use everything to your advantage. He could not have anticipated that. And | :22:25. | :22:25. | |
nor did Nagy in time. A couple of goals today for his | :22:26. | :22:47. | |
work, none bigger than that one, but both just as important. | :22:48. | :23:15. | |
That is a battle that has been won mostly by the Hungarians. But not | :23:16. | :23:24. | |
this time, and they give it up. Any time you feel that you want to try | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
and anticipate who will take the points in this one, you realise how | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
silly that is, because this could go all ways from Sunday. What a steal | :23:39. | :23:55. | |
by the Hungarians. Hungary, swimming into a promising possibility of | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
another shot on goal. Flegkas, trying to increase his size | :23:58. | :24:12. | |
through the ankle. Greece will lose a player. The extra man advantage | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
for Hungary. Oh, they squeeze it in! Ramos gets | :24:17. | :24:47. | |
an element of luck on that shot. Flegkas is there in time. He has | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
both hands to it, but his proximity to the post creates a bitter | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
ricocheting return, and he can't keep it in front of the goal line. | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
The Hungarians returned the favour within interest. | :25:08. | :25:17. | |
The pressure is now on Greece to come up with something impressive to | :25:18. | :25:47. | |
beat this Hungarian team. There is a tussle going on in that centre area | :25:48. | :25:48. | |
again in front of the goal. Time is precious. That goes off the | :25:49. | :26:14. | |
crossbar. They had the extra player. But it did not have the accuracy | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
required. Delakas receives his third major file. He will watch the rest | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
from the sidelines. -- he receives his third foul. This is a telling | :26:26. | :26:34. | |
moment for Hungary. Greece are against the ropes. But they are | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
still in the ring, and they are swinging. Now a bit of calm as the | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
Hungarians shout orders to each other. | :26:55. | :27:13. | |
The Hungarians are trying to see if they can get another infringement | :27:14. | :27:25. | |
against the Greeks. There is going to be a time-out called. They need | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
to discuss this. With 37 seconds remaining, a chance for Greece to | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
get something from this match. They will take a draw at this stage, you | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
would suspect. With a draw, at least there is a point from it. They have | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
worked hard against the Hungarians. They have been in that position a | :27:49. | :28:00. | |
couple of times. They do have a point ahead of the Hungarians, but | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
if Hungary are able to win here, they go a point ahead of Greece. We | :28:05. | :28:16. | |
will see how this table shakes out. This is a moment for Greece in this | :28:17. | :28:18. | |
tournament. The clock is counting. Greece are | :28:19. | :28:40. | |
trying to get closer than they are being allowed by the Hungarians. | :28:41. | :28:47. | |
They can't lose possession. They need to get at least a chance to | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
level it. It will be difficult now for Hungary to counter respond. The | :28:53. | :29:01. | |
build continues from Greece. They still have possession. A shot! Is it | :29:02. | :29:10. | |
going to be allowed? The question still remains in the hands of the | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
officials. They do credit it. The eighth goal is going to go to | :29:15. | :29:22. | |
Greece, and the shot was outstanding delivery. Hungary have five seconds | :29:23. | :29:32. | |
now. You can hardly believe it. Nagy thought he had it, but the angle of | :29:33. | :29:41. | |
his hand just tipped back slightly. It is not going to be Genidounias. | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
It will be a strike from the heart of their number 12. It is | :29:48. | :29:57. | |
Vlachopoulos who gets credit for this goal. You see how quick he was. | :29:58. | :30:13. | |
He proves himself the talisman, as he has been so far in this | :30:14. | :30:15. | |
tournament for Greece. What can be of the remaining | :30:16. | :30:25. | |
seconds? Wait for the clock to start. Underway. It will be taken by | :30:26. | :30:32. | |
Flegkas and they will finish as a draw. Inside the Maria Lenk aquatics | :30:33. | :30:39. | |
centre in this preliminary match and how about that. Greece will take | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
that very nicely indeed. They thought they would be giving up all | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
the points, they end up splitting them. They need to be careful here. | :30:50. | :30:58. | |
Emotions are high. That is the way it will finish at half-time. Greece | :30:59. | :31:04. | |
and Hungary with eight apiece and it still isn't quite done as both of | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
these teams are still in the water and a very close to each other. They | :31:08. | :31:14. | |
will now shake hands and let's cool -- let cooler heads prevail. An | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
emotional finish in this matchup. You have to feel Hungary will be | :31:18. | :31:23. | |
frustrated, that they didn't get the return they said desperately wanted. | :31:24. | :31:31. | |
STUDIO: Pleasantries being exchanged with a bit of tension at the Maria | :31:32. | :31:36. | |
Lenk aquatics centre. We have seen some great water polo matches on BBC | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
Four. I don't think we have yet brought you a victory for any team. | :31:42. | :31:48. | |
The greatest water polo nation of all time, in the Olympics, Hungary. | :31:49. | :31:57. | |
8-8 in the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre. | :31:58. | :32:03. | |
Weather update, it is that fine rain, the one that soaps you | :32:04. | :32:09. | |
through. Quite a lot of people heading out of the arena where the | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
handball happens and they are making their way up the Olympic way and as | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
you continue down the Olympic way, you curve around, is quickly road, | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
and you find a way to the carry car arenas and we will head into carry | :32:23. | :32:30. | |
ocarina number two. Some judo. Some interest in the British women's | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
category. We are joining the sun at the start | :32:35. | :32:47. | |
of the bell. Ollie Williams is our commentator. | :32:48. | :33:03. | |
The women's 70 kilo judo contest and Sally Conway making her first | :33:04. | :33:09. | |
appearance at Rio 2016. When she left the UK at the end of July, she | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
said she couldn't wait to fight, she felt good and she was ready. We are | :33:14. | :33:22. | |
about to find out how ready. She is facing Houda Miled, one of judo's | :33:23. | :33:35. | |
best. Conway has to watch out for penalties. They have been a real | :33:36. | :33:43. | |
problem so far in Rio. Several times, the Brits have gone out on | :33:44. | :33:47. | |
penalties only. I wonder how Conway will approach this today. Wendy's | :33:48. | :33:57. | |
two did meet last time, it was a very close contest but one that | :33:58. | :34:06. | |
Houda Miled had the better off throughout. She started better, | :34:07. | :34:15. | |
Conway. That is it. Sally Conway not hanging around at all. Awarded the | :34:16. | :34:22. | |
Ippon was less than a minute gone. Sally Conway proving it can be done | :34:23. | :34:31. | |
for British judo. She gave Houda Miled, the 29-year-old from Tunisia, | :34:32. | :34:36. | |
absolutely no chance in her opening fight and she is through to the | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
round of 16 with barely a minute gone and barely any sweat on her | :34:41. | :34:43. | |
brow. Fantastic start for Sally Conway. | :34:44. | :34:56. | |

You see all these Olympic athletes doing their thing. They all started | :35:26. | :35:36. | |
somewhere. BBC Get Inspired is the website, whether you want to try any | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
of these sports, get on the website and find where your local sports are | :35:40. | :35:44. | |
happening. I told you at the start of the programme, we would do a lot | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
of Rugby Sevens because Great Britain's men are in action. Coming | :35:49. | :35:54. | |
to the end of their pool stages. First, let's talk about group B | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
because a really interesting competition unveiling in this one. | :35:59. | :36:04. | |
France topping the group as it stands right now after their first | :36:05. | :36:05. | |
few games. We will see the Commonwealth | :36:06. | :36:18. | |
champion South Africa taking on Australia now. This one is really | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
tight, they are looking for a third best place, Australia. Let's head | :36:23. | :36:29. | |
over to the Deodoro Stadium right now and see South Africa take on | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
Australia. COMMENTATOR: Absolute must win game | :36:34. | :36:44. | |
for Australia. South Africa not in spring Brock green but in white | :36:45. | :36:50. | |
shirts. Australia in gold and green. -- Springbok green. An error against | :36:51. | :36:57. | |
South Africa, haven't seen too many of those. Looking forward to this | :36:58. | :37:04. | |
one. Cecil Afrika is normally the restart came for the South African | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
team, he is on the bench to start with and a big mistake to give | :37:09. | :37:11. | |
Australia a free play. A game full of errors to begin with. | :37:12. | :37:38. | |
South Africa not quite top seeds, that is Fiji, but they are in top | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
form. Australia in anything but top form yesterday. The defence referee | :37:43. | :37:47. | |
did not agree with that decision. South Africa with big Dylan Sage on | :37:48. | :38:10. | |
the wing. It is coming his way and here he goes. Not one of his | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
characteristic charges. Agaba brought into the forward, cannot | :38:16. | :38:23. | |
quite take that. Gabba will be very disappointed with that. They wanted | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
to release this man out wide and a very nervous start from both sides. | :38:29. | :38:29. | |
Which is surprising. South Africa want to try to keep the | :38:30. | :38:44. | |
momentum going into the quarterfinals. Con Foley gets | :38:45. | :38:53. | |
underway. Here goes Henry Hutchinson. South African tackle is | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
as ferocious as anything in this competition. Australia in possession | :39:00. | :39:06. | |
though. We cycled quickly. Stannard. Cameron Clark. It is high tackled by | :39:07. | :39:17. | |
Dylan Sage. Advantage being played. Jason Parahi feels the South African | :39:18. | :39:26. | |
tackling. Good chase. Sage gets back. It is therefore Clark, he | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
tries the hand off, penalty to Australia. Good hand off. Jason | :39:31. | :39:41. | |
Parahi scores. This is more like it, the Australia we thought we would | :39:42. | :39:48. | |
see. A wonderful try. The speed of the ball from the contact area. | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
Australia have been technically sound. The first time the referee | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
let the ball play on. Wonderful step and wonderful footwork by Jesse | :39:59. | :40:06. | |
Parahi. Australia is, surprise loss yesterday to France. South Africa | :40:07. | :40:15. | |
have to get their a game going. They took a risk. They parked their stars | :40:16. | :40:21. | |
on the bench to begin with. Cecil Afrika who really is the heartbeat | :40:22. | :40:28. | |
of the team, not on the field yet. Kyle Brown, the captain, so good | :40:29. | :40:33. | |
yesterday. They started with a strong bench. Never assume anything | :40:34. | :40:40. | |
of this seven aside game, especially against Australia, who really have | :40:41. | :40:44. | |
to win this game. That was a wonderful try, all based on the | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
speed of the ball in the contact area. James Stannard gets play | :40:48. | :40:55. | |
underway. Straight in action again. That time, couldn't quite get the | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
pass away, otherwise, South Africa were looking in trouble. The ball is | :41:01. | :41:07. | |
out of play. Justin Geduld takes his time. You feel the South African is | :41:08. | :41:17. | |
not quite right, not quite into the game at the moment. Maybe it is | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
because they made the changes, I don't know. If South Africa had a | :41:22. | :41:28. | |
weak spot yesterday, it was here at the line-out. The throw to Tim Agaba | :41:29. | :41:36. | |
again not straight. One of the great things about Rugby Sevens, players | :41:37. | :41:42. | |
have all the skills, you have backs, the scrum, forwards playing at the | :41:43. | :41:47. | |
back and that is the great thing about it. A strong victory there and | :41:48. | :41:52. | |
that was a Cardinal error to give the ball away so easily. In your | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
line-out, possession is everything in this Sevens rugby game. | :41:58. | :42:06. | |
Jesse Parahi, he is off the field. This is Henry Hutchinson. Hutchison | :42:07. | :42:16. | |
takes it to them. The speed of the ball is brilliant. Long passes. This | :42:17. | :42:24. | |
is Tom Cusack in action. Stannard sending them this way through. Con | :42:25. | :42:31. | |
Foley. Coming the way Stannard, though. Here is Stannard. Long. | :42:32. | :42:43. | |
Hutchison. Foot in touch? No, play on. One quick pass and Australia are | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
over for their second try. Tom Cusack, the scorer. Great tried by | :42:49. | :42:58. | |
Australia. Tom Cusack, number 12. Look at the speed again. Young Henry | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
Hutchison, just 19 years old. Look how quickly the ball comes back. | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
That is where you win games in Sevens. The speed of the ball in the | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
contact area. Daniel power, the coach, will be looking at that bench | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
very quickly. De Jonge is now coming on. James Stannard's version misses. | :43:21. | :43:33. | |
Australia 12 points to the good against mighty South Africa. Dylan | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
Sage has gone off with a blood injury. Just a Nick to his head. | :43:38. | :43:50. | |
South Africa have been blown away by Australia in the first few minutes. | :43:51. | :43:56. | |
This is more like it, they have sent for the big four, Kwagga Smith. | :43:57. | :44:06. | |
Philip Snyman stop Tim Agaba as the half-time hooter goes. Can South | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
Africa strike back? Here is De Jonge. | :44:11. | :44:16. | |
Play on until hands in the ruck by Con Foley. De Jonge coming over. One | :44:17. | :44:39. | |
of the team leaders left on the bench to begin with. Sent on to | :44:40. | :44:46. | |
restore some order. Australia are 12 points ahead. Speckman. Tim Agaba, a | :44:47. | :44:59. | |
chance now, although he has gone hard in the midfield. | :45:00. | :45:12. | |
The half-time whistle goes. And it is an upset on the cards. The game | :45:13. | :45:24. | |
is not over, but Australia lead South Africa 12-0. The game before | :45:25. | :45:38. | |
had the heartbeat of the French team. And I think Cecil Afrika is | :45:39. | :45:41. | |
the heartbeat of the South African team. I thought it was amazing to | :45:42. | :45:51. | |
start with him on the bench, but Daniel Powell clearly knows what he | :45:52. | :45:57. | |
is doing. This throws things wide open now. Well, it does and doesn't. | :45:58. | :46:07. | |
Australia and South Africa should qualify, it's just the pecking order | :46:08. | :46:11. | |
of who you are playing next. That was what I meant. Look how quick the | :46:12. | :46:24. | |
ball comes back. Australia have hardly been penalised for the whole | :46:25. | :46:31. | |
game. That is why they lead South Africa. Technically, they have been | :46:32. | :46:34. | |
better than the Southern Africans. This is the coach. I would love to | :46:35. | :46:39. | |
hear what they are saying in these huddles. You might have to speak | :46:40. | :46:49. | |
Afrikaans. He looks calm and collected. The runners-up in this | :46:50. | :47:02. | |
pool will play the runners-up in Great Britain's pool. So imagine | :47:03. | :47:08. | |
Great Britain, having lost to New Zealand, should that ever happen, as | :47:09. | :47:13. | |
if! They might have to play South Africa. If Britain beat New Zealand, | :47:14. | :47:20. | |
that is to come, 12:30pm local time, 4:30pm back home. Stannard has had a | :47:21. | :47:29. | |
much better game. His kick-offs have been spot-on so far. James Stannard | :47:30. | :47:31. | |
starts for Australia. Another mistake. You can see as soon | :47:32. | :47:54. | |
as Justin Geduld makes the mistake, all of Australia are high-fiving | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
each other. They know that is a big moment. It is those little errors | :47:59. | :48:06. | |
that we didn't see yesterday from the South African team. They have | :48:07. | :48:08. | |
given a lot of possession to Australia. That is why Australia | :48:09. | :48:23. | |
lead. Penalty. At the scrummage. That is an unusual one. | :48:24. | :48:40. | |
The referee thought about the penalty and decided instead to give | :48:41. | :49:21. | |
Australia the scrummage. They will be perfectly happy with that. | :49:22. | :49:30. | |
Wonderful tackle by De Jong -- de Jongh. He is one of the stars of the | :49:31. | :49:42. | |
15 aside South African team. But Australia have brought their A going | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
to this match. Certainly, the physicality and the speed of the | :49:47. | :49:50. | |
ball is blowing South Africa away. South Africa are now making the | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
changes. But Cecil Afrika is still on the bench. | :49:57. | :50:10. | |
Fa'alava'au is on Fraustro earlier. Australia are very busy, very | :50:11. | :50:17. | |
vigorous and almost unrecognisable from yesterday. Relief for South | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
Africa. The penalty goes their way. A stern word from the referee. A few | :50:24. | :50:51. | |
drops of rain falling on their Deodoro Stadium. We didn't come to | :50:52. | :50:59. | |
Rio for rain, Clive! Stannard is just introducing himself to Kyle | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
Brown, the captain. It is a tough game, this. There have been no major | :51:05. | :51:16. | |
incidents so far. On comes Werner Kok. Roscko Speckman to throw. | :51:17. | :51:40. | |
And final pass, Roscko is over. It is Seabelo Senatla on the end of the | :51:41. | :52:20. | |
movement. Good hand by South Africa. I am just looking at the clock now. | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
Three minutes, that is a long time in rugby sevens. | :52:25. | :52:40. | |
Senatla is a leading try scorer in South Africa. It has missed. So | :52:41. | :52:53. | |
South Africa have to score a converted try to draw level with | :52:54. | :52:57. | |
Australia. It is to advantage Australia, but there are a couple of | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
minutes left for South Africa to restore their credentials as the | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
number two seeds here. Fa'alava'au is away. South Africa | :53:07. | :53:38. | |
out of sorts in defence as well as out of rhythm in attack. | :53:39. | :53:57. | |
We will now see how good this Australian defence is. The referee | :53:58. | :54:05. | |
helped them then because they had three Australians on the floor. | :54:06. | :54:30. | |
Time off. On comes the young number 11, who was one of the star players | :54:31. | :55:00. | |
yesterday. Stannard, so strong, fighting with the big South African | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
forward. It looks like he has a cut on the head. They will be looking at | :55:06. | :55:08. | |
the clock now. They will have practised this. Stannard comes off a | :55:09. | :55:18. | |
few stitches required. Dylan Sage, who went off during the first half | :55:19. | :55:23. | |
with an injury, is back on. But Stannard, to loud applause, goes | :55:24. | :55:28. | |
off. The team will have practised this. How can we run down 35 | :55:29. | :55:35. | |
seconds? With a big kick to touch to begin with. Quite simply, a big | :55:36. | :55:45. | |
zero. If Australia can win their own ball and just throw now, it should | :55:46. | :55:46. | |
be their game. Big moment, this. Pinched by South Africa, stolen back | :55:47. | :56:12. | |
by Australia. Well, this has thrown it all open again, Clive. It is | :56:13. | :56:20. | |
totally open. The South Africans will have one play now. The hooter | :56:21. | :56:24. | |
has just gone, so they will have one free play now for the scrum. | :56:25. | :56:37. | |
Australia have got to defend. An accidental poke in the eye for | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
Roscko Speckman. That will be watering. And it was a nasty cut for | :56:43. | :56:52. | |
Stannard. He is sitting in the tunnel. They haven't started | :56:53. | :57:03. | |
stitching him up yet. South Africa have to score and convert to bring | :57:04. | :57:13. | |
the scores level. It's all over. You can see what that means to the | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
Australians. Cheslin Kolbe E has given away the penalty. Australia | :57:19. | :57:25. | |
can kick the ball. It shouldn't be a surprise. Big moment in the | :57:26. | :57:36. | |
tournament and has thrown the group wide open. It has indeed. South | :57:37. | :57:44. | |
Africa's advantage lies in their points difference, but they have | :57:45. | :57:49. | |
lost to Australia. So in this group, we have three teams on two victories | :57:50. | :57:57. | |
each. Congratulations. A lot of people | :57:58. | :58:01. | |
here didn't expect that result. How confident were you beforehand? We | :58:02. | :58:05. | |
made a few mistakes yesterday. The good thing about sevens is that you | :58:06. | :58:09. | |
get another chance the next day. We built on the last performance of the | :58:10. | :58:12. | |
day yesterday and went in confident this morning. Barring ridiculous | :58:13. | :58:17. | |
mathematical results, you're going through to the quarterfinals, where | :58:18. | :58:24. | |
you will probably play Fiji. How do you view that? Fiji go in as the top | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
dogs. They won the World Series this year. We know what they do and how | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
to stop them, and we will give it a good crack. Give us an Aussie | :58:34. | :58:37. | |
assessment of what the competition has been like? It has been bloody | :58:38. | :58:41. | |
great, mate. There have been a lot of upsets. Japan beat New Zealand | :58:42. | :58:46. | |
yesterday. That stuff happens in sevens. It has been an awesome | :58:47. | :58:51. | |
spectacle. Good luck in the quarters. | :58:52. | :58:53. | |
John Inverdale, asking the questions after a good match between Australia | :58:54. | :58:58. | |
and South Africa. And as you can see, he has changed location from | :58:59. | :59:01. | |
the Lagoa Stadium down at Copacabana and the rowing to the Deodoro | :59:02. | :59:07. | |
Stadium. John, it is a good swap that you have made because after the | :59:08. | :59:10. | |
last couple of days, we have seen the men's tournament that is | :59:11. | :59:14. | |
showcasing competitive rugby sevens at its best. Absolutely, and it is | :59:15. | :59:19. | |
rugby weather because it is grey overhead and a bit damp underfoot | :59:20. | :59:24. | |
because of the rain we have had. I had to walk about two miles to get | :59:25. | :59:28. | |
here to the stadium, because that was where I got dropped off by the | :59:29. | :59:32. | |
taxi, and there are thousands of people queueing to get into the | :59:33. | :59:36. | |
Deodoro Stadium and other venues. That problem has still not been | :59:37. | :59:41. | |
confronted. As a consequence of the game you have just seen, South | :59:42. | :59:44. | |
Africa top that group. France were second and Australia third. The | :59:45. | :59:50. | |
likelihood is that they will play Fiji in the last eight later today. | :59:51. | :59:57. | |
Behind me now, the teams are on the field, Kenya against Japan. The | :59:58. | :59:59. | |
result of this match will have a bearing on who Great Britain might | :00:00. | :00:03. | |
be playing in the quarterfinals later as well. There is a | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
possibility of three teams ending up with two wins each in this group. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Let's go to Clive Woodward and Eddie Butler. | :00:12. | :00:18. |
