Day 5 BBC One: 19.00-22.00 Olympics

Canon Chris Froome emulate Bradley Wiggins and turn bronze from four

years ago into gold today? The first out of the box. Fabian Cancellara,

one last shot at Olympic glory. He just makes it look effortless,

doesn't he? Work to do, 20 seconds slower than Fabian Cancellara. A

masterclass from one of the greats of the sport. He could become the

Olympic champion for the second time in his career. Into the silver medal

position, Tom Dumoulin. Chris Froome pulled it out at the end, he really

dug deep. Sprinting to the line. The winner of the Tour de France hung

onto his form to make sure he could get an Olympic medal. We all love

Rio, but it feels a bit like London today. It is a doubt, great, drizzly

day, but that did not stop them going all out in the time trial. We

will reflect on Chris Froome's medal with Chris Boardman. Have you known

the time trial as tough as that in terms of conditions on the road?

Certainly a bit of everything. There was rain and when you put technical

descent on a course like that with the rain it gets pretty hard

watching them coming down. How impressed are you with the way Chris

Froome made up time later on to snatch a medal? We all wanted him to

win the Olympic time trial. It was too much to ask. He has only had a

couple of weeks. I think a bronze medal was an excellent performance

and he fought hard for it and paste the ride well to come back at the

end. Let's hear from Chris Froome. This is what he said.

Congratulations, it has been a momentous few weeks for you and you

bought every inch of the way to get onto the podium. I did, I cannot be

disappointed with that. Of course, I would have loved to have been in

with a chance for a gold medal, but I gave it everything I had today and

I cannot be any happier than that. And you gave it everything, but the

course suited the strongmen, the likes of Fabian Cancellara, who is

so strong in the descent particularly. He was the clear

winner today, more than a minute ahead of me. If I had lost by maybe

five or six seconds, I would have been disappointed with myself, but

he was clearly the strongest guy today. Yes, I don't know what else

to say. I gave it everything I had and I tried to hold back a little

bit for the last lap knowing how hard the chorus was. But I just did

not have any more. You paste it well to get onto the podium, but if you

look back at the year, your third Tour de France victory, a medal at

the Olympic Games, you would have settled for that at the start of the

season? It is an amazing feeling, the year I have had. The third to

win and to come and medal for the second time in an Olympics is

incredible, an incredible feeling. I just want to thank everyone who has

been a part of this and most notably David Roseman who has been looking

after me out here, my coat, and Team GB. You have done us proud as

always. Enjoy the bronze medal. Thank you very much. Every time I

see Chris Froome and hear him speak I think he is so quiet and gentle

and polite. The kind of boy you would take home to meet your

parents. And yet he has got that killer instinct. Like boxers when

you get into competition that is when it all comes out. Incredibly

consistent, and he has got that killer instinct. Like boxers when

you get into competition that is when it all comes out. Incredibly

consistent, and he hath that to be very aggressive to come out front.

Today he had to dig deep, and it came out in the end. Fabian

Cancellara seems to be in a league of his own. We hardly saw him in the

race in the road race. He was climbing at the front with some of

the best and we thought maybe there was a glimmer. You cannot write

somebody off who has got a history like he has and he knows how to ride

a course like that. He made up so much time on the descent. Wonderful

shots, his second Olympic title, having won in Beijing. The Swiss

will be thrilled with that. As for British cycling, we moved into our

traditionally successful area, on the track, and cycling in the

velodrome starts tomorrow. Bradley Wiggins is getting a lot of

attention. Is there a fallout between him and Mark Cavendish? I

have heard that, but that is part of what they do, they are always

squabbling like a married couple. They probably did and it is a normal

way they do things. Mark Cavendish came early because he thought he

would get a shot at the team pursuit, but that is not happening

now. No, it is such a specialist pursuit. He will focus on the

Armenian. -- omnium. We have got Laura Trott and Becky James. As an

overall prediction, how many gold medals are you thinking? We only

deal in golds. I said two years ago that I thought three gold medals,

four if they do exceptionally well, and that was including the road

events. But having watched how they have developed on the track I would

say that is still about right. And the time trial in the women's race,

Emma Pooley finished 14th. Were you disappointed in that or was it as

good as she could do? Having said that, when I looked at the cause it

was not what I expected. The climb was really short, only 15 minutes of

the entire race and there was an awful lot of nontechnical flat

roads, so it is not her cause, so not surprising. And in terms of the

winner, a wonderful story. To have retired twice, had a family and come

back and to still be able to do this is quite remarkable. It shows what

an athlete she is. She was a pure time trialist and she enjoyed the

hills and the flat roads. 42 years old, is that right? 41 or 42. There

is hope for us all. Kristin Armstrong. We are turning our

attention to judo were Great Britain one two medals in London. But it is

a sport in which we have never won a gold medal. Sally Conway is going

really well. Could there be a chance for us today? She already has three

ippons to her name. This is her knocking out the world champion from

France and that took her into a quarterfinal. We are going to see

the best of that with commentary from Ollie Williams.

This is already an improvement from London 2012. She will feel she can

go forward having beaten the world champion in the second round.

Bolder is searching for that grip around Sally Conway's neck.

Sally Conway has the pain. The clock is ticking off and an ippon has been

awarded to Sally Conway. An Olympic semifinal awaits Britain's Sally

Conway. A third ippon in a row. Daylight etched on her face, the

29-year-old. She came here with a world ranking of number ten and she

is punching well above that already, into the final four. Sally Conway

that Rio 2016. And three ippons in a row is the

equivalent of three knockouts in a row and it has been stunning for

Sally Conway. We will see if she can get herself into the gold medal

fight, match, bout. We will do our best to be with that as soon as we

can. This is what is coming up this evening.

We will be kayaking with Joe Clarke, one of the sport's new faces. His

hero growing up was Sir Steve Redgrave who signed photo for him

when he was kid. We will be heading to the diving pool to see if it is

still green for the men's three metres incredible. Jack locker and

Chris Mears won bronze at the World Championships. They have got a new

dive in their repertoire. They say it is world changing. Britain's

Sally Conway is in the medal mix in judo. If she wins her next bout, she

will be guaranteed at least a silver medal. In gymnastics today it is the

men's all-around competition, Max Whitlock is in this. The favourite

is Carly Fujimori of Japan. That is the scene across to Sugarloaf

Mountain. It could be any time after 8pm for Sally Conway. Judo can ask

either ten seconds or ten minutes. On BBC Four Stephen Scott is into

the semifinals of the double trap shooting. That is live on BBC Four.

He won gold in that at London. You can access up to 24 streams live and

online and on the BBC sport app. There is the BBC Red Button as well.

Lots of ways to follow the Olympics. Here are the headlines on day five.

In Rugby sevens Great Britain booked their spot in the knockout stages by

beating the powerhouse of New Zealand. They will face Argentina in

the quarterfinals. The boxing has not been going so well and

bantamweight Qais Ashfaq lost his opening bout to Thailand's Chatchai

Butdee. He was the fifth boxer eliminated today. And we had a

strong storm this morning with wind and rain as well and it meant that

the rowing was a casualty. The entire schedule was cancelled for

the day due to the weather. But in hockey they can certainly play on in

the rain and Great Britain's women continued their 100% record at Rio

by beating the 2012 silver medallists Argentina 3-2. They have

now won three out of three. Let's have a look at the medals table at

this stage. The United States are out in front, Michael Phelps

contributing hugely to that. Great Britain had two medals from the

swimming pool last night. Just one goal so far for Adam Peaty. Seven

medals in total. We are going to head off to

whitewater kayaking. David Florence was disappointed yesterday. But with

kayaking they sit in the boat rather than kneeling in it. Either

conditions all right for kayaking and what can you tell us about Joe

Clarke? Of all the sport that you can do in the rain slalom canoe is

high on the list where they would not care if it was raining or not.

Water will be flying all over the place for this final. We are excited

about the prospects for Joe Clarke. He qualified third fastest from the

semifinal. But all those times get swept away and it is just the

running order. He will go eight out of the ten finalists we are about to

see now and we are very excited about his prospects. He is ranked in

the top ten in the world, what else can you tell us about him? It is his

first Olympics and like any Olympian he has been training for many years

for this moment. He is very calm and calculated, but he is also

incredibly keen. I hope the pressure does not get to him. I have no

reason to believe it would. But slalom canoe can turn in an instant

in a good way, and as we saw yesterday in a bad way. Your chances

can go very quickly wrong. If you hit a gate, that is a two second

penalty. If you miss a gate completely, that is the 52nd

penalty. Even a two second penalty at this level means your medal

chance is gone. In terms of his qualification in the semifinal, how

fast was he? He was very close. He was within a second or two of the

leader. 1.83 behind the quickest. It is a nice thing to have a clean run,

which aid of the qualifiers did. All those times are swept away, so it is

just the ranking, just the running order that that set up. It all

starts again and his Olympics will be decided in 100 seconds when he

comes down this course in a few minutes' time.

As you can see, the Brazilian fans are very excited about this. Let us

join the commentators, Patrick Winterton and Helen Reeves.

Thank you, the final under way, the last few men in the K1 competition

and it is De Silva of Brazil who will light the crowd up. They have

been so enthusiastic about their performances. The run for the

semifinal counts for nothing now, it is all about this last run and this

man knows the course better than anyone, Helen. He is looking very

good at the moment, looking faster than he did on his first run. Tight

around his upstream. A bit sticky on the exit, two strokes to get out.

This is the key, you have to keep the boat downstream, a bit of tail

action, the reverse stroke. It won't be as quick as some of the runs we

saw in the semifinal. We saw one penalty on 18 in the first run but

Pedro Da Silva is safely through. Now the upstream to 19, requires a

spin before he gets onto the wave. Not as clean as he was in the first

round. Pedro Da Silva, who is without a doubt Brazil's best slalom

Adler. -- paddler. Through 22, 78 is the time, we saw times around 76,

77, so it is not bad at all, a very respectable mark. No penalties at

all. 91.54, we will see just how good that is, but we should tell you

the winning time in the semifinal, 88.84, but it is not unusual for the

winning time in the semifinal to be quicker than the best in the final.

Absolutely, it is a tricky course and the paddlers have to come out

and replicate what they did on the first run, it is very tricky. Pepe

will be very happy with that. Really clean, a really good target to set.

As you watch the Slo Mo who macro of Pedro Da Silva, talking of the

options for Joe Clarke, we have four competitions here with British boats

in each of the semifinals. The more often you make the final, the better

the chances of coming away with a medal eventually. Everyone knows

there is a lot of good fortune and bad fortune in this game. The other

thing is that the Joe Clarke, we are hearing, was under strict orders to

hold back. Yes, he certainly was. I think it is all about playing the

game, he needs to get into the final and he did it very well. This will

be interesting, Italy's Giovanni De Gennaro, the fastest in the heats

three days ago. It did not go his way in the semifinal, but he

incurred a two second penalty on 18, which really shouldn't produce

problems for a man of his quality. Once again, we will use Gate seven

as an indicator of how he starts. He wants to be around 21 seconds to set

a realistic target. Pointing left and right to keep it pointing

downstream whenever you can. This is Gate seven and it is good. Yes, he

is looking sharp. Going for the spin, that is what he chose to do.

Not the quickest of moves, you don't want to spend too much time going

backwards. Interesting decision to have done that. Obviously slightly

unnerved. He whips the tail down, uses the stern of the boat, not sure

it was that intentional. Now he needs to settle into the run, using

unnecessary energy of that sequence -- in that sequence of seven, eight

and nine. Back into the flow again. He is going to be looking to set up

the spin, he is losing more time. Not great speed from the exit at 19.

Now it is a drive, he wants as clean a line as possible coming out of the

downstream. Through 21 and now we want to see him turn, on the spot

but keep the momentum on the exit. A tough line, having to pick up to get

the speed and momentum. The first time set by Pedro Da Silva. Will

Brazil stay top? Just outside, so close between the first two. The

fact that he hasn't beaten Pedro Da Silva obviously upsetting him. He

came here for gold and it is not going to happen. Italians took the

gold in 2012, he is bitterly disappointed but I am not sure this

is a course for the powerhouse paddler. You have to work with water

and he made some bizarre choices. The tail going down at 13, trying to

use power and I think it is not the right move. You have to use the

water, usual technical skills, rather than brute force. 13, the

gate that gave Ben Florence trouble yesterday as well and it just seems

the harder you try on that date, the harder it becomes. You have do flow,

this is all about a fluent run and De Gennaro hasn't managed it. Still

in second position but we have another eight paddlers to come. Just

a reminder, Joe Clarke, after a tremendous first run in the

semifinals, will be number eight on the start sheet. And then just purse

converge and Smolen after him. Sebastien Combot now, after taking

gold in the men's see one. The French are one of the top nations.

We want to see the canoe darting on top of the water, direct lines. Like

you can draw with a ruler between the gates. The wind has picked up a

little bit, just tacking through, it was quite straight but down on that

spit. He is really going to have to pick up, take the tight lines around

the upper streams. Pedro Da Silva made no mistakes on the course. Keep

an eye out for the next splitter. If he remains behind, it will be very

encouraging for the Brazilian fans. Combot should be capable of taking

the lead. 17, goes for a big punt off the wall. That seems to be

affected, but 19 - 20 is a tricky section.

CLARE BALDING: will we leave the K1 briefly because here is Steven Scott

shooting for a bronze medal in the double trap.

Pull!. This is an all British class for the bronze medal, Steven Scott

against Tim Kneale. And Richard Drew is the commentator. As you can see,

Tim Kneale against Steven Scott. The pressure back on Scott. It is

not sudden death but you want to go toe to toe with your a opponents.

Scott the 2004 Commonwealth and European champion, got a world

championship bronze as well. One World Cup final in 2015. So he has

been in a good vein of form. Six apiece. After the first section.

Pull! The light getting just a little bit better here.

If nothing else, the two British shooters are used to touch of rain

and a bit of breeze. Tim Kneale shoots at the North Hamstead

shooting club in Hartford. And there is the first miss. The second one

off to the left. And an opportunity for Steven Scott. Perhaps a bit more

relaxed than they might be, the British contingent, knowing that

somebody will get a medal for Great Britain. Kevin Hill, the national

coach, will be satisfied with a job well done.

Second bronze for the shotgun events for Great Britain after the trap. --

Ed Ling in the trap. Tim Kneale has a slight disadvantage here, trailing

11-12. This competition in the future of

the Olympics is in doubt. The IAAF pondering whether to have a mixed

skeet trap competition instead. I know the double trap shooters have

been passionate about this sport and keeping it here at the Olympics.

And he has recovered well from that one miss, Steven Scott. It is down

to him, if he keeps shooting perfectly, he will take the bronze

medal. This is the man who works in

Langport, in Somerset. Very much and Isle of Man person. Another miss

there, so two shot dropped for Tim Kneale. And Steven Scott is looking

very strong at the moment, a two shot advantage, 18-16. Nine out of

15 double shot now. So six doubles left, it could all

still turn around here. This man has to keep concentrating and you can

just see the focus on the athlete. Still that two shot advantage, those

two misses from Tim Kneale. Nasty riser through the middle

there, but did well to sort it out. Just a hand going up there from

Steven Scott. They have not many seconds to get the shot away. Just

wanted to sort himself out there, let the referee no. -- know. Hasn't

affected his concentration, 22-20. Tim Kneale just has to keep hitting

the doubles and hope for the best. He has hit the last three doubles,

he is back in the groove, this man so far hasn't missed and carries on,

24 out of 24. Three more doubles to go and Steve Scott is very, very

close to taking this bronze medal. There is still time for this to

change around, you know. He won't be taking anything for granted. Just

look how gloomy the weather is. It has been a really wet and damp day

in Rio today, very wintry. Nice from Tim Kneale, that is the

fourth double in a row that he has nailed, but it is all in Steven

Scott's hands. And he edges closer to this bronze medal. Four more

shops, two doubles, for these athletes. -- shots. Unless something

happens, which we will then go to shoot off. Tim Kneale is keeping

going, hoping for a wobble from this man. Looking good, though. And just

needs to nailed the next two. Tim Kneale knows that if he misses one

of these, then he misses out on the bronze medal. Last pair, then. Last

44 Tim Kneale of Great Britain. -- last pair four. And he nails them

but one out of two will do it for Steven Scott. And he gets a perfect

30 in this bronze model match -- bronze medal match. And Steven

Scott, the 31-year-old world ranked at Number Ten, takes the bronze

medal in a double trap competition. It feels good, I am sure it does.

And look at the relief. Not quite sure, was that a lucky cartridge he

had in his pocket? It has worked for him. You have to feel for Tim

Kneale, so, so far along the line but couldn't quite convert it into a

medal. the British coach is congratulating

his two charges. This is the moment. Look at that smile.

That is the second bronze medal for shooters at the Olympics. He is a

friend of Peter Wilson who won gold medal in the trap in London. But we

are heading back to the K-1 because Joe Clarke is very shortly to go in

this final. Let's rejoin Patrick Winterton and Helen Reeves. Mike

Dawson has produced very fast time indeed. The leader is Hannes Aigner

of Germany. Dawson will be followed by Peter Kauzer and then it is Joe

Clarke. Then after him it is Jiri Prskavec and Jakub Grigar. He is

1.68 behind. It is not over, that Hannes Aigner was better than anyone

we have seen so far. He certainly was, he has this power to drive

through the last part. We are going to see a big spin and now is the

power to accelerate the boat. He is a second and a half, if not 2.5

seconds behind Hannes Aigner. It is a painful lactose inducing drives.

That shows you how good the German was on his run. That puts Dawson in

sixth position, having been up going through gates 13 and 14. Yes, he had

to work very hard across the river from 16 into 17, but above that he

was superb. He did not nail that section. Leading into the bottom

section he did not get the lines that Hannes Aigner got. Can anybody

match them? And that real brute power out of the last gate and into

the finish. We may have already seen the gold medal performance, but we

do not know because we have got four kayakers to go. Peter Kauzer is

waiting to go, for Slovenia. Now, this is Peter Kauzer's chance.

From Slovenia, a huge paddling nation. The world champion from

2011. Finished fourth in the World Championships last year. It was only

0.7 of the second of the time for a bronze medal. He knows he is capable

of meddling here. But has got to be careful throughout. That is a better

start from him. He lost time in the semifinals upstream. But gate seven

is nailed. Hannes Aigner was quick through gate seven. But this is

looking sharp from Peter Kauzer. A little knock on the tail in 13, but

he is back out in the flow. Nice and straight showing a smooth style.

Patient and then out of the upstream gate. 26 years of paddling

experience. He is only 32 and he has still got the green light. He has

got to be good, he has got to do something special on this lower

section because Hannes Aigner was sensational. He drops just a

fraction too low and that could be half a second gone and now he has to

produce the best of his life. Going for gold at Diadora. He has made it!

One third of a second on each of the splits all the way down and Hannes

Aigner has been pushed down into a silver medal position. Pedro De

Silva is pushed down into third. Joe Clarke is next. I hope he has not

been watching because he will be a bag of nerves. What are the

preparations like? You are pumping yourself up and just getting ready.

You know when the bars in the stadium gets like this it is because

it is getting exciting and that helps. But you have to stay in your

own thoughts and execute your plan. That is how it should be done. Peter

Kauzer withstanding the Olympic pressure. Is it going to be his day?

He was the world champion five years ago. A fantastic run from him. He

won the semifinal in 2012 and then completely flunked the final. Will

it be the opposite this time around? Nothing he can do about it. He just

has to sit and watch the last three paddlers. It would be sensational if

he could crack that time of 88.7. In the semifinals he was under orders

to hold back we believe. The 23-year-old from Stoke on Trent.

Stafford Canoe club will be packed today watching his progress. He

needs to be calm and settle into the rhythm early. He wants to keep his

bow to tracking down stream. He has got a nice open style. Seven is

tight and it is all about the line. Keep in control. This is sharp. It

is sharper than sharp. This man has only been on the British senior team

for four years. He nails number 13 and got the spin on the back. One

selection for the Olympics back in October and he has had four months

to prepare for this one run. He is clean and he is getting faster and

faster as the run goes on, but that was very tight and he found himself

broadside, but he gets across. Great power to keep himself online. A

slight cold and stop on 19. A little reverse and a tight pull-out and

that is looking good and fast. Two gates to go for Joe Clarke as he

drives towards the line. The time of 88.7 could be beaten. Sensational!

Joe Clarke has secured himself a medal. It is definitely going to be

bronze. Jiri Prskavec and Jakub Grigar are still to come. Do not

celebrate yet. But give Joe Clarke credit, 23 years old, he has pulled

out the run of his life on the race of his life. Absolutely. In the

semifinal he showed maturity. Then he build on it just there. Amazing,

the pressure was high. He had to make 19 work, it was a quick spin.

It was superb. It was really great. They are all building on their runs.

What a wonderful final this is turning out to be. On 19 he spun a

bit too early, but it did not stop him. It turned out to his advantage.

Joe Clarke has pulled out a storm. Nice to see all the paddlers coming

through to congratulate him. Bad news for Brazil who are out of the

medals. Do not move for six and a half, seven minutes. Jiri Prskavec

from the Czech Republic is on his way. The split has to be good all

the way down. Very little opportunity to make up if you are

half seconds down on the first split. This is the first tricky

upstream gate. A quick turn and out into the flow. This is where Joe

Clarke was good, eight, nine and ten. But this is lightning quick.

And a touch. That could be so expensive. We have only got 0.49 of

a second between gold, silver and bronze and to add two seconds, that

can be damaging for your hopes. Jiri Prskavec is pushing extra hard at

the moment. He is still in touch with the medals, so he will have to

nailed this bottom section. But you have to bear in mind, having been

given to second company. He is outside and that little

mistake between 22 and 23 cost him the gold, but he is into bronze

medal. Peter Kauzer is sitting in silver at the moment. The quickest

run we have seen from anyone by far from Jiri Prskavec, but it does not

matter because the penalties count. They are having to push these lines,

there is no option. They have to make sure they do not give away

anything at all. He was really going for it and he worked really hard

because things were not ideal. Ever since the Junior World Championships

when he took the run conservatively and it all went horribly wrong, he

is a man who goes 100%. That he has to sit and wait. This will be the

longest three minutes of his life. Jakub Grigar could deny him a medal.

If Jakub Grigar produces a run quicker than 88.9, the Slovakian

will be on the podium and the Czech Slovakian will miss out.

Here we go. Jakub Grigar of Slovakia. He is only 19 years of

age. Surely the pressure could be too much? Joe Clarke is sitting in

gold medal position. He will be having his fingers crossed, not that

it goes wrong, but that it does not go brilliantly well for Jakub

Grigar. Very quick. He threw his head inside seven and eight, taking

all the risks in the world. He got a bit too far into the wave and was

held for a fraction of a second. Fractions are separating the top

four at the moment. I cannot remember a time it has been that

close. He nailed 17 and it is all about the spin. A little bit slow on

the hold across and held in the wave. Wide at 20. This is going to

be extremely tight. Watch the time on 22, he has to be well under 77

seconds. This is going to be desperately close. He needs a

perfect line into the finish. That could be the move that costs him.

And it is Joe Clarke of Great Britain, the 23-year-old, who is the

Olympic champion for 2016. Helen, you were saying yesterday if the

youngest one in the British team were to get a gold medal. That is

security for the future of men's paddling. It is such a tight

discipline. We have had some very good juniors. But for him to come

out today on the biggest platform in the world and to perform that way is

phenomenal. He should be so proud of himself. His coach Mark Ratcliffe,

they have worked very hard. Weeks of work have come to fruition. A

fantastic performance. Congratulations to Peter Kauzer and

Jiri Prskavec who have taken the silver and a bronze medal. But the

news stories will all be about Joe Clarke. Three days ago, in his first

run in the heat, he picks up a 50 and we said this would be the test

of the man. His semifinal run particularly was so mature.

Absolutely, he was under orders to hold back and that is what he did,

he made it happen. It is difficult to say, keep control of your nerves,

it is one part of the game. This is where it can sound where it mattered

and he did it, he delivered and that shows incredible maturity and

incredible slalom skills. What a talented Pat Lam. Wonderful moments

for Joe Clarke -- talented Pat Lam. That is just run down the order of

the sheet. Can't see any problem with the top three. Cazeaux was the

quickest man on the water and will live and sleep with the penalties --

Peter Kauzer. Grigar has finished down in that position. Once again,

the curse of winning the semifinal. There are the results and yes, Joe

Clarke Great Britain is the new Olympic champion in K1. He has done

it here at Diadora, Peter Kauzer in silver, Jiri Perce Gurevich in

bronze. Look outside it is -- Perce Quebec. In Boulder macro Great

Britain has their second Olympic champion of Rio 2016. -- CLARE

BALDING: think I it is fair to say, Matthew Pinsent, that that is not a

gold medal but had been anticipated, because he didn't make the final of

the World Championships. No, he has been on the team for four

years, his results have been steady but undramatic, you could say, so to

become Olympic champion of the back-up that and beat some of the

names he has just beaten is an extraordinary achievement and a huge

tribute to him. Everyone who has seen that for the first time will

see how tense that is, even to watch, so you can imagine the

feeling that is rushing through your brain while you are sitting at the

top, trying to compress four years of training in 280 or 90 seconds of

action and the incredibly powerful and incredibly precise at the same

time, because as soon as it begins to unravel, it is gone, your medal

chance will disappear very quickly, and Joe has eyes in his veins.

Absolutely superb final run. -- has ice. I know you were excited

watching that. It is wonderful to be there to witness these moments. It

is great and what is so tense, of course, is that you know even with

him putting in that time, there were two fantastic paddlers to come after

him so in the nicest possible way, you are hoping everyone can do well

in the competition but also, as a Brit, you want Joe to do well and as

soon as he crossed the line first with two paddlers left, it was

obvious he had won a medal and of course, elevated Da Silva and then

Olympic champion in the last few seconds of Olympic action was

brilliant. And you know, because you have been part of these teams, the

effect it has when your team-mates win medals. That is Britain's third

medal today but when it get back to the camp that there is another

Olympic champion, it gives everyone a lift. There will be a notice board

in the Team GB headquarters, at the bottom of that block in the village.

We have a great big area, whiteboard, and people's names will

go up when they win their medals, so it will be someone's job who will be

running over now and putting Joe Clarke in the gold column and it

will be a huge fillip to the team. We are doing fine but there are some

mutterings about not doing as well as we thought, some painful fourth

places in the last few days, we have all felt those, but to do that is

absolutely fantastic. I keep looking behind in case the new Olympic

champion from Great Britain Joe Clarke is with us. He is not yet,

the protocol is he will go and get his medal and we will get to talk to

him after he gets his medal on. We can't wait to hear from him, it is a

fantastic story you have brought us, live coverage of the men's K1, Joe

Clarke winning a gold medal for Great Britain and that was 15

minutes after Steven Scott took bronze in the double trap shooting.

It was an all British affair, he was up against Tim Kneale and it was

perfect shooting from Steve Scott. And that was his response. He is a

very good friend of Peter Wilson, who won the gold medal in this event

in London 2012 and they are coached by the same man, Sheikh Maktoum of

Dubai. And that is not a bad way to start our entertainment, in the

space of 15 minutes, a bronze medal and a gold medal, both brought to

you live on the BBC. We will switch our attention to gymnastics, and I

will welcome Brynn Bevan, the youngest member of our team out

here. Have some shelter from the rain. You are part of the team and

the team did pretty well but now we move to the men's all-around

competition, we have Max Whitlock and Nile Wilson. How are they this

morning? Are they excited about this? They are both in a really

positive mindset, both in a strong position and putting up high medal

contention, so hopefully everything goes to plan, but gymnastics comes

down to what happens on the day and anything can happen. Now, Nile

Wilson qualified really well for this, he was fit. Yes, he was fit

and Max was 12, so Nile Wilson art on the floor and Max on the pommel

horse. -- will start. So they are feeling really pumped. What is the

general atmosphere like among the gymnasts? It is a case of nearly,

not quite so far in terms of medals. We are also proud of each other, we

have gone out there and giving it our best shot. We did happen to have

one mistake in the team final, but it was such a close final, such a

high standard and we had to go or nothing, so Max and Lewis both

decided to go for the highest value routines, which involves more risk

but it could have paid off. But looking back at the scores, even if

Lewis and Max had gone through a perfect routine, we wouldn't have

got the bronze medal -- Louise and Max. They will be going head-to-head

on Sunday. It is Sunday, the pommel and floor, so hopeful we will look

at one and two for GB. The USA are way out in front in the women's and

for the men, it is Japan and Kohei Uchimura. Is it certain that he will

win a gold medal? I don't know if it is certain in the men's. The women,

they are so fine front but in the men, they are close and there is not

so much margin. I don't think Uchimura even qualified in first

position, so there will be a fight for this gold medal. If I had to ask

you to predict if Max or Nile could win a medal, what would you say? I

think they are both in strong contention and from qualifications,

Max has 88, 89 and he had a couple of mistakes, so he is looking at 91,

possible gold medal. Nile had a very clean competition, a couple of

errors and came away with 89 and he has repeated that score a lot this

year. They are both in very strong contention, I wouldn't like to

predicted but I wish the best of luck for both of them. I will let

you head off to the Olympic Arena to enjoy and support them while we look

at the medal table, because Great Britain have gone storming up. The

last time we showed you, they were in 11th place and now they are in

ninth, two gold medals. Thanks to Adam Peaty and Joe Clarke. Three

silver medals and now four bronze medals, two of them coming today.

And potentially more to come. So here is the timetable as it stands,

and we are going to be going next to the men's 3m Synchro, that is Jack

Laugher and Chris Meares going in that. We will also try and bring you

live Sally Conway trying to get into the gold medal fight in the 70 K

judo. And the gymnastics, we will be bringing you that at nine o'clock,

the men's all-around, on BBC Four, I think that is live right now, so if

you want to watch the very early stages, you can do so on that

channel. In terms of the diving, already, we have seen a bronze medal

come from Tom Daley and from Dan Goodfellow and their response when

the scores came up and they realised they had finished third. This is Tom

waiting and waiting. He realises, Dan is not quite so sure but he sees

the number three and realises they have got the bronze medal and this

was his reaction. He didn't intend to but he managed to bundle Dan

strayed into the pool, which was blue two days ago. It turned a shade

of green yesterday and is probably still green today. So it is a three

metres springboard today and our two contenders are Jack Laugher and

Chris Mears. Let's find out more about them.

Yorkshire has become a real hotbed of diving talents recently. From

this pool alone, five divers are going to represent Team GB in Rio

and I have come to meet two of them who are set to be real medal

prospects. OK, training over for the day, how was it? How are you

feeling? It was really good. Are you a king? As always, pretty tired, but

it is part of the crime. -- achy. And a scrambled egg lunch, which

went down well. So let's head back to yours, see what the pad is like.

See you later! Indicator! Brilliant. So this is the bachelor pad. Very

nice, very swish. You train together, you come home to this

together, you are always together. Does that not drive you mad

sometimes? Not at all, me and Chris, we both have our individual rooms,

obviously. You are not like Bert and Ernie! He has his musical his Xbox,

we come back here, we cook together sometimes, sometimes I will cook, it

is one of those things, we don't want to spend time together

constantly. You guys are the next diving pin-ups, coming up behind Tom

Daley, really. How do you feel about that? It is cool, what Tom did the

diving is brilliant, he brought a lot of attention to it and I guess

we kind of fed off that. Yes, it is really nice to have the attention

from the media, diving being reported about and when me and Chris

get stories out there of how well we are doing, we get that appreciation

from the fans and stuff like that and people following diving, it

feels really nice. Wow. They are meant to be all hung up. What is

that? World Championships medal from last year. Cool boxes as well.

Really cool. You have been through a lot together, not just in terms of

diving but you came close to not surviving. Yes, it wasn't great. I

basically was suffering from glandular fever but I didn't really

know that that was a thing, I didn't really know what it was. The glands

in my stomach swelled up to a really large size and put a lot of pressure

on my organs and my spleen ruptured and blew up. So I had the operation

in theatre, I was in Australia and my parents were pretty much told it

might the endgame. Will you to be rooming together in Rio? We roomed

together in every competition, no point in making an adjustment now. I

am not sick of him yet. Spending time with Jack Laugher and

Chris Mears and Jack Laugher was a star of the Commonwealth Games, he

won two gold medals there and a silver medal and he and Chris have

introduced a new dive into their repertoire and they say it could be

world changing. That will have to come off perfectly and then they can

contest for a major medal in this 3m Synchro. At some stage during the

diving, we will try and get live to Sally Conway in the judo. Her

semifinal. If she wins it, she would be into a gold medal fight. Let's

and you over to the diving, it is very wet there, the pool is still

green, Leon Taylor and Bob Ballard. Hello and welcome to the diving

centre here in Rio. We are about to get under way with the men's 3m

Synchro, the fourth of the synchronised diving events here at

Rio 2016. We have seen the women go of three and ten. We saw Tom Daley

and Dan Goodfellow get a bronze medal in their ten metres a few days

ago. Hopes and expectations are high that we might just... We don't want

to put anything around their necks just yet but we might just see Jack

Laugher and Chris Mears emulate or even better what we saw from Tom and

ban the other day. Alongside me as ever is 2004 Olympic silver

medallist in the ten metre Synchro Leon Taylor. Before we get under

way, have we got an update on the green pool? Everyone seems to be

captivated by it. The update is that the pool is still very much green

and the good news is the chemical levels in their are safe and the

divers do not care. In fact, if anything, the green water makes it a

little bit easier to spot when you are rotating around many, many

times, which is exactly what we are going to see here this afternoon as

our boys Jack and Chris take on the rest of the world. Top eight only,

the qualification took place at last year's World Championships, where

our boys won a bronze medal behind China and Russia. Both of those are

in it today. Jack and Chris diving fifth and they will be putting the

pressure firmly on the Russians, who directed follow them and the Chinese

at that. I am sure that you will know by now

that the first two Browns are all 2.0. All eight pairs are doing

exactly the same died. -- the first two rounds. We start off with the

Germans. Beautiful synchronisation from a relatively new German pair.

They won the World Cup event in this very pool a few months ago back in

February. They will be looking to emulate that here. Some of the best

teams were not competing in that World Cup, opting to concentrate on

the individual events. The Germans opening up with a fantastic dive. I

will explain the scores, anything with a line through it does not

count. They are multiplied by the 2.0 of difficulty to give the total

mark. Anything 50 plus is very good indeed. Now the Mexicans. They did

very well in Barcelona in the World Championships before last.

Well, rain or no rain, green swimming pool or no green swimming

pool, the divers will dive. In synchronisation it is looking to be

a complete mirror image of each other. Any discrepancies and the

judges will take marks away. A perfect ten means they were exactly

in time from start to finish until they disappear into the water. The

Mexican pair are pretty much like the German pair. I think we will see

a .5 and nine. Almost identical. All the competitions have been like this

so far, we go right down to the final dives until we know the full

extent of where the medals are going to go to. We had torrential rain

earlier on. It has eased off and it comes back in little bursts. But the

divers will not care too much about it. In comes another relatively new

American pairing. You will see the back dive from all eight pairs in

the first round. Beautiful from the American pair. They are very new to

this, winning the Olympic trials in fine fashion. Interesting that all

diapers are opening with a back dive in the pike position. No matter what

died you do in these opening two rounds, they are the required dives.

-- dives. The Americans getting themselves into the mix. A high

standard of competition so far. After the required dives they will

go into the optional dives. Later on Jack and Chris will do the highest

tariff dive. These are the Italians. Very nice,

much better execution. There are six execution judges. Three on one side

of the swimming pool and three on the other side. The ones on the

fireside judge a diver closest to them and then vice versa. The

remainder of the judges judge the synchronisation only. The left-hand

side of the screen is execution and on the right-hand side it is

synchronisation. The lines through the score do not count. Multiply

that by the difficulty. Then you get the total score. It is much more

straightforward in the individual. It is. Here come the Brits. They are

going to go with the back dive with pike. The score to be at the moment

is 52.8 zero. Beautifully composed, precise and

bang on the money. Look at the support. Their families are out

here, friends from all over are watching wherever they are in the

world. This pair are gunning for a medal today. Nice and steady, not

getting too excited. Keeping their composure and mailing the opening

round. Still three pairs to go. The slow motion shows you just are

synchronised it was. They join Germany and Italy at this stage. Do

remind me to bring a waterproof pen the next time. I need one of those

poncho is that the judges are wearing, which you will see when we

move to the side shot. Everything I have written is dribbling down the

page! Anyway, they are my problems and not yours. These have so often

been the silver medallists. It has been interesting to watch both Jack

and Chris next to this pair and they have been in the same training group

will stop they have just been flexing their muscles every training

session. Our boys would do a dive and then the Russians would match

it. This is like for like. I think the battle for the medals will come

from Russia, GB and China. That might be fractionally better than

our boys. It is. But still really close. The optional dives are still

to come. Do not panic, stay in your seats, this will be a

roller-coaster. Marginally better than any of the others we have seen

so far. We are talking about getting towards 400 for the winners. It is

very much early stages. But these are the boys to beat. The Chinese

have had a different combination over the years. But there has been

one constant. I beautiful opening-round died from

the Chinese pair. This will be really interesting because our boys

get to build and build the pressure. CLARE BALDING: We are going back to

the diving shortly, but let's take you live to the judo because Sally

Conway on the right is about to fight her semifinal against Yuri

Alvear of Colombia. She is having a sensational Olympics. She knocked

out the world champion. She started judo aged ten, having chosen it over

hockey. Kate Howey and Euan Burton have been very influential in her

career so far. Judo has traditionally been very strong in

Scotland which is where Sally Conway comes from. If she wins this, she is

guaranteed at least a silver medal. Neal Adams is in the commentary box

with Margie rant. She beat the world champion to get

here and she beat her well. Turn from a hold down into a hold down.

But with this she knows she has got her work cut out against the very

strong Yuri Alvear. She is more like a boxer, she has got a completely

different style. She has got great ground where, Sally Conway. She

really has and that is where she is going to try and take Yuri Alvear.

She knows that is her big chance. But Yuri Alvear is physically so

strong. She has got unusual technique. She has a massive,

winding throw which Sally Conway has got to stay away from. She can go

left and right as well, Yuri Alvear. Sally Conway sacrifices and she has

got to break balance when she does that. Yuri Alvear was also in

Beijing and finished in the top seven. She tried volleyball, water

polo, handball and athletics before deciding to have a go at judo. What

an athlete she is. She looked to me as if she was ready for retirement

after the London Olympic Games, but here she is now fighting to get

through to the final. Can Conway latch onto an arm? She is looking

for the ground, looking to try and go onto her arm. Now she is on her

arm. Can she get it. Yuri Alvear is in trouble. If Sally Conway can

straighten beers, she has got a medal. Yuri Alvear hold on. How long

is the referee going to let her hold on? This is taking a lot out of them

both. Sally Conway had to decide whether she was going to expend a

lot of energy. Look at the power from the Colombian. She held onto

that arm. Sally Conway, nine times out of ten gets that arm out. You

have done so much and then you get up and you start to look at the

scoreboard. This crowd is very respectful of every athlete out

here, but perhaps they are on the Colombian side. Brazil have been

excellent and have been involved in medal matches throughout. Not always

winning them, but certainly a gold medal on the board for Brazil early

on. This match will present a medal of some description to the victor.

Conway was taken down and she tries to counter attack. Now all of a

sudden she is on the arm. Yuri Alvear needs to stay there. The

referee will let her carry on, as long as it is progressive. Yuri

Alvear nearly scored, but there is still no score on the board and they

are both going for it. What a semifinal. They are trading blows at

a rate of knots. This time Yuri Alvear goes to ground in defence and

tries to cover up Sally Conway has had one goal and could not quite get

there. The referee was not having much of that one. Less than a minute

remaining, a clean scoresheet. What a match. She has caught her! No, she

just landed on her backside. It was not quite a score. Sally Conway

nearly with just 35 seconds to go, it nearly surprised the Colombian.

Yuri Alvear is still in this match. What a semifinal this is!

She is ready to attack. Sally Conway is defending. Sally Conway is

waiting. Now then, Sally Conway almost catches, is she on the arm?

My goodness me. That is amazing stuff. It is going to go into golden

score. Sally Conway has almost won this match three times. If it was a

boxing bout and you were scoring each attack, she would be over the

line. She would be in the final but that is not the way it works, we

need a score on the board. Golden score, anybody's match. GB in the

blue. Alvear going for it, she is not letting up and she is giving it

everything. Sally Conway is as well. She can't stay there, Conway. Now

the coaches shout their instructions. Now is the time on the

mat A. Can either get a grip? Taken down,

she has been taken down, Sally Conway. Great work from the

Colombian, Yuri Alvear. She is the victor. She is an Olympic medallist.

She already has a bronze now, at least a silver medal. She looks up

to the heavens, thinking and praying for a little bit of assistance to

convert here into a gold. It is over for Sally Conway in terms of the

gold medal match. She will go down as a beaten semifinalist in the

battle for bronze and Yuri Alvear, the winner of this semifinal. How

close can you get without winning the match? Three times, she had

Alvear. Three times, she nearly scored, and she attacked on the

ground as well. She had the armlock ready to straighten the arm out,

Alvear held on. I have to say, though, that Alvear, the great

champion that she is, she held on there and she never stopped coming

forwards. She was never going to give up, she wasn't afraid, but

Sally Conway, that was brilliant, it really was.

CLARE BALDING: Neil Adams giving his assessment. It was brilliant, but it

wasn't good enough. This is back live to the diving, the second dive

for Jack Laugher and Chris Mears. Two out of two in the bag for Jack

and Chris. Keeping composed, doing whatever they need to do at the back

of the board, clearing their minds and just letting the dives happen.

This is excellent synchronisation. They are going to be top of the

leaderboard after this as well. That is exactly the first two rounds they

would have been looking for. Now it starts to get interesting as you

move into rounds three, four, five and six, where we upped the ante.

Good marks. That is the best mark they have achieved so far. In fact,

it matches the Russians' first-round and for the time being, looking all

right for the likely lads as they think the bigger dives, the much

bigger dives to come from round three onwards. We talked about the

Russians following in the British weight in terms of practice and

training -- wake. We will see if they can match score wise with an

inward one and a harp pike. -- one and a half somersault with pike. You

can see the execution of the Russian dives are super-sharp. Beautiful

vertical entries into the water from both divers. Of course, Ilya

Zakharov, closest to us, is the 2012 Olympic champion in this event. So

the first Marc Shuh will see on the left-hand side of the screen is the

execution, the highest and lowest are taken away to leave two marks.

Synchronisation is on the right hand side. Highest and lowest are taken

off to leave the synchronisation marks -- the first Marc Shuh will

see on the side of the screen. So they slot in behind Great

Britain, they were leading, they are ahead after round one but not any

more, slightly in behind, Great Britain in first place and Russia in

second. So on to the Chinese we go, here comes Cao Yuan and Qin Kai,

another variant for you to watch, a forward one and a half somersault

with pike. It is superb, as you would expect, but it isn't as good

as I have seen from them, or expect from them in many ways. You can see

Qin Kai, closest to us, landing back from the end of the diving board,

not very much spring back there. It throws up a marginal difference

between the distance from the diving board. Only slightly. The judges

don't get to see the replay, this is only for our enjoyment. You can see,

marginally different distances from the diving board. Super slow motion.

They are a little bit off from what we have seen. The marks awarded are

generous. They are, aren't they? It annoys me, it does and you have

heard me say it before, I don't want to labour the point, but when you

don't land in the same part of the pool, how can that be

synchronisation? China move into a lead that is only a marginal one,

over Great Britain, with Russia in third. Now Matos and Outerelo for

Brazil in their reverse dive, and then we will be into the really big

stuff from here on in. Oh, dear. There you go. It was a bit

of a mix-up, wasn't it? So the Brazilian crowd, polite applause, I

think you would call it. Just getting stuck, having to bend his

legs. Looks like he turned into a frog on his way out of it. He almost

did and Adam Peaty breaststroke kick on his way round. Averted a near

disaster of landing on his back but the judges were penalised heavily,

so the execution marks will probably be... The coach's expression says it

all. These are the easiest dives as well. What an absolute shame. I

really feel for him, he didn't hurt himself, he just feels terrible. He

needs to compose and get over that. The most important dive is the next

dive. Let it go. 28.80, sadly. As you say, he has to compose himself,

because they have bigger dives to come. I am a little bit concerned

about their welfare for the rest of the competition. We will see,

hopefully they will get back contract and the end of round one

has China, Great Britain and Russia as one, two, three -- they will get

back on track. Forget what has gone before, this is the big stuff now

and we can tee up that Great Britain have dives in tariff terms worth

three points nine and 3.8. Russia go with their 3.9 in round four. We go

up in twos. China with that marginal lead, I think, slightly marked up on

both rounds. But that is where they are and that is what they have got.

We move on to the Germans. Around three starts with Stephan Feck and

Patrick Hausding. By far the biggest we have seen so far, reversed two

and a half with one and a half twists. This is where the

competition really starts, this is an example of the most complicated

dives humanly possible from the three metre springboard. You see the

one one half twists, the remainder of the dive is executed very well

indeed. Marvellous synchronisation throughout, twisting at the same

time, folding into that pike shape all the way through. If this gets 80

points, this is a hell of a start for the German pair and it will

certainly set the tone as we move into the business end of the

competition. This is where we will see the movers and shakers making

their moves. It is experience for you. They have been around a long

time these two and they know what they are about. The old

multiplication working with that degree of difficulty, a big marker

for the Germans early on. Now onto the Mexicans, three point for --

3.4. Rommel Pacheco furthest from us absolutely world-class in the

execution of his dive but then we start to look at the

synchronisation. The lion's share of the marks for synchronisation and

they are rout. Differing distances from the diving board, twisting at

fractionally different times. Ocampo is quite large for a diver, he looks

like he would go well in the weightlifting. The super slow motion

quite clearly showing you different angles of entry. We are only talking

fractions, so the marks for synchronisation are still good but

not the nines that we saw. Slightly higher tariff, compensated for that.

They move in behind Germany. They don't overtake them. Germany,

Mexico, one, two in the early stages. The USA, Sam Dorman and Mike

Hixon, same dive we will see the Italians do as well, coming up next.

Forward two and a half somersault with two twists with pike. The

Americans have a little bit of ground to make up, not too far

adrift after the first two rounds. Seventh after round two. Wow, that

is remarkable from our US contingent here. For a new pairing, these guys

have really got it together. Not that much international experience,

but they are on form and this is beautiful. This is better than the

Mexicans. The synchronisation is better, twisting at the same time,

same distance from the diving board. They showed good a .5s and nines for

synchronisation. -- they should get 8.5s. This competition is on. It may

be a case pass the parcel in terms of the leaders. We have the Germans

in front, the Mexicans slotted in behind them and now the USA have

taken over from the Germans. It is so tight, as we expected to be

through the whole of this campaign. It is always good when you have a

little cluster of the same dive that you get a chance to look at. Great

Britain will be doing exactly the same dive and the Chinese as well in

round three. Forward two and a half with two twists. The best mark so

far on this dive for the USA with 85.60 eight.

Well, the Italians join the party as well. Welcome to the three metre

synchro. Like-for-like, two and a half somersault, two twists. Flashy

choice of swimwear and backing it up with their third effort. So this

will get over 80 points as well. Not quite as good as our American pair

just before. You can see quite clearly the judges in their ponchos.

The rain has subsided now but the pool is still green. Yes, I don't

think that is going to change for a while and the score for the

Italians, 80.58. Everyone in and around the 80s in the first four

dives. Incredible. That sets the standard which will hopefully be

carried on in a similar vein by these two. Far side, on the left as

you look at that angle, Chris Mears, Jack Law. -- Jack Laugher. Same

dive, hopefully better consequences. Yes, tremendous! Beautiful

synchronisation. The union Jacks get waived by the friends and family.

Look at this. The judges don't get to see this angle but it is

beautiful to see for us how synchronised our boys were all the

way through that. Christmas like league throwing up a bit too much

splash -- Chris closes to us. It will keep them in the mix, probably

low 80s for this dive. I have seen them do it a little bit better from

an execution point of view but the all-important synchronisation was

there. Our boys are still in the running. Does put them in first

place for the time being, with the Chinese and the Russian still to

come. I think we can discount the Brazilians, unfortunately, but two

of the big hitters to come, the gold and silver medallists from last

year. Here come the silver medallists, Kuznetsov and Zakharov.

They are going for something a little bit different.

It is a game of tactics. The Russians opted for a different

order. We are going to see this dive from most of the pairs here. The

degree of difficulty was the same as the one that the British boys have

just nailed. I was going to say they have fluffed it, but they have not.

But they are not as good as I have seen from them. Their execution has

let them down. They will be mid-70s, which is ten points down on what our

boys did. It will not keep them in the mix at the top at the time

being. They have a 3.9 to come, as do the Brits. There are 3.9 comes in

the next round where they can play catch up. At the moment Great

Britain currently lead. Well, that was not as top-notch as

we have seen. Let's have a look. Forward to and half somersault, two

twists. The synchronisation is not a mirror image. I think

synchronisation will be around eight. If they go higher than eight,

I will have to go out on a limb and disagree. You can see on the slow

motion, which the judges do not get to see, that they are marginally out

of time. All I want to see is the maximum of eight. In my opinion they

have got that right. Only 79 points for China. Interesting. The

Brazilians have still to come yet. Great Britain are in first place.

Come on, Brazil. Get your heads on this one.

This sometimes happens when you have had something that has gone

disastrously wrong in diving times, you have to shake it off and compose

your state. That is what the Brazilians had to do. You can see

the differing spinning speed. Moving sideways on the diving board, there

is so much going on they have not had time to put it all together. The

judges did not really know what to make of it. So, that is Brazil ban

and dusted. Look at this. Half down. Three to go. A slender lead over

China. The others are all still very much in the mix.

CLARE BALDING: Great Britain leading at the halfway stage. We will be

back there very shortly, but just to remind you Great Britain has a new

Olympic champion. Joe Clarke won a gold medal in the kayak K-1.

Campbell Walsh took silver in 2004. By Joe Clarke is an Olympic champion

and we will be hearing from him a little later on. This was him onto

the podium. A huge leap forward, a wonderful moment for Joe Klein in

the K-1 kayaking. And also within the last hour and a quarter a bronze

medal in the double track shooting. A perfect bronze medal play-off,

where his shooting was absolutely spot on. He was against fellow Brit

Tim Kneale. A bronze this morning for Chris Froome, a bronze for him

and a gold in the kayaking. Are we looking at a potential gold medal

here in the synchronised three metre diving?

I watched them do this in training and they were all over the shop.

They pulled it out of the bag when they needed it the most. This is 3.5

difficulty. You need to jump away from the board and spin backwards

towards, leaving yourself enough room to avoid it. The

synchronisation is good. Execution is marginally short of vertical. I

think that is a bit harsh to be honest. But they will have to take

what the judges have handed out. They were hoping for 80 on that. The

rain starts again. It is a bit heavy at the moment.

They are currently in sixth place. Ocampo let the team down a little

bit with his execution. He is closest to us. He seems to be OK

until he let's go too early. Then he was short of vertical. His marks

will only be around 5.5 or six. Pacheco does a good job on his

execution. It will mean the synchronisation marks are affected

because they were not doing the same thing at the same time. Our papers

are getting blown everywhere and you can hear the wind whistling through.

Cracks are starting to appear in a few of these performances now. That

was the faulty washing machine going completely wrong on the spin! Yes.

You can see the rain on the screen, which is now blowing across the

diving board. Not the most clement of conditions here in Rio. 24 hours

ago it was baking hot with sunshine. Now it is more like Manchester in

November! The Americans have started very well.

It is back to the old school. This used to be the dive of choice in the

90s and then the formula changed ever so slightly in the late 90s and

there were less twists and more somersaults. Now they have revised

the difficulty and it is 3.5, so it is well worth the effort. The

American pair were my dark horses. At the moment it is the Americans

putting pressure on our boys and the Chinese. That is a fantastic dive

from the Americans. They have done fantastic so far. America are doing

particularly well here so far. Probably achieving beyond what they

expected. They go into an early lead in round four. We welcome the

Italians onto the board. Giovanni Tocci and Andrea Chiarabini. The

first of the 3.8s. It is the first one of many. It is

frustrating when you bet big. It is 3.8 and if you get it right, it

comes home, but it is so easy to falter on this diet. Forward four

and a half somersaults, there is hardly enough space to get it all

in. The Italians made a bit of a meal of that. They landed short of

vertical. Only 65. Again like the Mexicans it is nowhere near what

they wanted. 64 for them and 69 for the Mexicans. The Brits are not

going for 3.8 or 3.9, it is a fairly low tariff in comparison to what is

to come next. Yes! So good. This is their bogey

dive. I am out of my seat. If they have got this one, they firmly put

pressure on their counterparts. This is excellent work from our boys. And

in word three and a half. Eights on execution. Maybe even and nine on

synchronisation. If they have got that, they are in the mid-80s.

Well, the Americans didn't do very well, but the Brits have done a

little bit better to edge themselves back into first place. CLARE

BALDING: It really is a filthy day in Rio. The rain is pouring down.

The tennis has been delayed, the rowing has been cancelled. The

indoor sports are very much the way to go. Sally Conway is in bronze

medal action in the judo. We are showing you this with a slight

delay, but she is up against Austria's Bernadette Craft.

Sally Conway will look to get it to ground as fast as she she can to as

well. Bernadette Graf is very awkward, left stance. Conway will

have to be very careful, she just needs to work on the grips. She

needs to dominate the grips. She needs to stop that big left arm of

Graf. She will realise that, she will know that. Our coaches will

have told her that. And she went down there. It was Sally Conway who

initiated that throat. As she went down Graf did not quite turn it, so

no score given. Graf is trying to control the head

of Conway. Both of them have to attack. If you get a grip, you have

to attack of it, otherwise it is a penalty. The penalties will be shown

by a little yellow flag. Four of those and it is disqualification, so

they cannot afford that. Graf tries the foot sweep. I think they will

both get penalised. Just Conway. Now she has got to come forward. It

might be time for Sally to look down to her right forearm, that is where

she wears a car to. A motivational quote that simply says believe. When

things are tough it is good to have a little reminder when I look down,

she says. She cannot see it either, but she knows it is better. She has

done it all the way through this event. She has to believe she can

get out of this and we know she can. And she has great belief, she really

has. She trains hard. She is one of the hardest trainers and she has got

some great training partners in Scotland and they are all behind her

right now. They are listening as we are commentating. They might not be

able to hear you, but they are jumping up and down because the girl

from Edinburgh has the lead against Bernadette Graf. A silver medal from

the world Masters, world number four, has a great pedigree. She has

an opponent who is taking it to her at the moment.

Graf is going to come forward, she will not let that slide. Sally

Conway can't afford to run away. She will get a second penalty here,

Sally Conway, for blocking out. Sally Conway has to go forwards,

needs to start as if the contest has already started, because she needs

to start to attack. Attack is the best form of defence. And she can't

afford another penalty. Into the last-minute here. Graf pushing

forward all the time, putting her under pressure. Her coach, all he is

doing is shouting instructions for her to go forwards. Played hockey

before concentrating on judo. Penalties were good in that game,

she doesn't want that here. She wants to maintain the lead or push

on. The penalties mean she has two. How does the Austrian handle this?

Does she sit and wait or have one more crack? This is an intriguing 40

seconds coming up. She has got to come forward all the time. Sally

Conway, we need a couple of good attacks from her and she could block

out. She could get another penalty but she doesn't want it. Another

good attack from Conway, that got her out of trouble. 21 seconds away

from a medal for Conway of Great Britain. Graf of Austria, the same

time, she needs to find something in that time. Can she get it back? I

think she is pushing forwards now. Nothing silly from Sally Conway. She

stops it and blocks it. Eight seconds. She is going to try and get

round the legs. As long as it is progressive, the referee will allow

it. Sally Conway get the medal. Bronze medal for Conway and I have

to say that she fully deserved that. Absolute brilliance. She took out

the current world champion by ippon in the early rounds. She almost beat

the Colombian two-time world champion, that was so close, it went

to Golden score. She lost only just. And for bronze medal, she beats

Bernadette Graf by yuko, that was amazing. She believed and that she

has achieved. Bronze medallist in Rio, Sally Conway of Great Britain

and the wonderful hug these two, you would expect to see it. Good

friends. Bernadette Graf obviously very disappointed, so close yet so

far. Second Olympic Games, first Olympic medal.

CLARE BALDING: and you can see how much it means to Sally Conway, Great

Britain's the battle in less than two hours, fourth of the day in

total. Joe Clarke won gold in the kayak K1, Chris Froome took bronze

in the time trial, Steve Scott took bronze in the double trap and Sally

Conway taking bronze in the judo. Fabulous stuff from her. Let's head

back to the diving, where Jack Laugher and Chris Mears are in the

lead in the three metre synchro. Those are the conditions, they are

pretty filthy, a lot of people won't enjoy them, but Chris and Jack are

coping brilliantly. We have just seen the Mexicans do

the 74.46 to put them into second with the Germans faltering. So at

the moment, around Chris and Jack, the others are not putting the

pressure on. It is only the US and China keeping them in range. These

two most definitely are diving pretty much above what we would have

expected from them. Have we seen the first little

mistake there from despair? Synchronisation is first class

through and through -- from despair? The execution from both divers, over

rotating. You won't see from this angle, you will see the excellent

synchronisation. When we see it from this angle, the angle the judges

see, inward, three and a half in the tuck position, it is all good and

then over rotation from both divers. So that isn't, by any stretch, a

disaster for despair but it is a slight error and means they will not

get over 80 points -- a disaster for this pair. Mike Hixon's expression

tells you quite a bit as they see the scores come up before you do.

78.50 four. They will move into the 350 territory as we see the

Italians, sixth after round four. 3.5, it might be a slightly shaky

one. They have done a OK. I took a little

inhale of breath as Tocci came into the end, he didn't have the best

hurdle step, you could see both divers a little bit back from the

end of the diving board, there isn't as much a spring there. You need to

jump away and spin around. We are just looking at the rain. Here is

some diving. Reverse three and a half, going for broke, putting all

of their most difficult dives in. They have done really well to

qualify outright for this Olympic final. It isn't going their way but

they are all guns blazing. The diving experts in here, the

Brazilian audience think that isn't very fair, but it is actually fair

from the judges. 70.35 for them. Now, I think it is fair to say that

if Jack and Chris nailed this, or get close to Nayland it, it is

definitely a medal of some description because the tariff is so

high, it can be stratospheric in terms of marks. 3.9. Forward, two

and a half somersaults. Yes! It is good enough! It is good

enough! Yes, yes, yes! Marginally different distances from the diving

board but both Jack and Chris have absolutely nailed this. This is

huge, it is a dive that needed to be really good. They can drive a car

through that gap, the judges will not give them very big marks for

synchronisation. I think they will get eights on synchro. Execution was

spot on but because of the degree of difficulty, they will get way over

80 points. If only they were exactly the same distance from the diving

board, we would be looking at 100 points. But it is 86. Are we getting

excited or what here? They now have an 11 point advantage over the USA,

but we have the Russians to come. Maybe we can discount them now. And

of course, the Chinese in this round as well. Their 3.9 didn't work out.

Now the Russians. They are out of it. Wow. You have just seen the

Olympic silver medallists from four years ago fall out of the back door

in this competition. That is two huge errors from this very

experienced pair. We are looking at the Olympic champion going surfing

there as he over rotates massively on his reverse three and a half. The

Russians will be way outside the medals. His coach, that is

disbelief. Our coaching team with their poker faces, one with a wry

smile. What a great expression on his face, just wandered off. One of

those faces that just tells every single story that you want from that

kind of dive. Goodbye rusher. Most definitely now. Obviously, it is

hello, China. -- goodbye, rusher. What they need to get above Great

Britain is nines across-the-board. It is a supersonic effort, my

goodness me! I would love to be saying that wasn't excellent but

that was superior. What a dive. Reverse three and a half, we saw how

easy it is to make a mistake with the Russian pair. They are

marginally different on the spin speeds but look at that smooth entry

into the water from both athletes. Execution is going to be nines.

Synchronisation is going to be a .5s and nines. China not giving up, as

expected, they are putting up a fight. Not leading, though, that is

the crucial point. It takes them within three points of Great

Britain. So they are still in the lead and will take a lead into round

six, but only three points between Great Britain and China and the USA

a further eight points back. It looks like it will be those three

for the medals. In what order, who can tell? All will be revealed in

round six. The Brazilians, who have had a rather torrid time, certainly

with that second round dive, have got it back together to a certain

extent. And this will be 3.4. It is their joint biggest dive of the

competition. They are making up the numbers now.

Well, the Brazilians are stepping up to the mark as well. This is still

three point for degree of difficulty, we have seen this from

most of the pairs, forward, two and a half a twist. This is the best

synchro we have seen from the Brazilians. Same distance from the

diving board. I hope the judges go with them because the crowd are

going to boo like a crazy if there are not any eights in there. -- boo

like crazy. I think that is very, very fair. The super slow motion.

They only made seven is! The crowd were kind of lukewarm, they didn't

want to boo, they thought it was OK but they weren't overly enthusiastic

about the marks. So, where are we, how is it looking? End of round five

and the standings make very good watching and looking for Great

Britain eyes. Jack Laugher and Chris Mears have a slender lead over China

and they have an 8-point advantage over USA and it does look very much

like it is going to be those three competing for the medals.

CLARE BALDING: Britain Great has never won a gold medal in diving.

Could we be on the verge of something special? Meanwhile, at the

gymnastics, the men's all-around final and Max Whitlock lies in

second place after two advance. That is live on BBC Four, we will be

joining it after the diving on BBC One. An amazing day, Joe Clarke

winning gold in the kayak K1 and three bronze medals. It looks like

another medal is coming, could it be another gold at the diving? Let's

rejoin Bob and Leon. Here we go, then. The last round. We

can't yet categorically say that Jack Laugher and Chris Mears have a

medal, because mathematically it is not the case, but it is starting to

look very much like Great Britain, China and USA will be fighting it

out amongst themselves for the medals, because these two don't have

a tariff big enough to get them in the mix, unless all three of the

leaders falter, of course, but that looks unlikely.

The German pair have been slightly under part today. Well, the Germans

are playing safe. Everyone else is going all guns blazing on this last

round. Anyone else who is in the mix, that is. A forward four and a

half from the Americans, Team GB, the Russians and the Chinese. The

Germans are playing a game of tactics. They are relying on other

pairs to falter to get into the medals, they have put down the

market there. This is the score to beat. What is the score to beat?

410, not a bad mark at all, that is good for the Germans and they had a

great round three and a great round six, but a couple of wobbles along

the way mean they probably won't be in the top three come the end of the

competition. Fifth going into the last round and a forward four and a

half, as Leon mentioned, will be Mexico, USA, Great Britain, Russian

and China. All doing this very, very tough dive. We have seen the 3.9

pretty well executed by Great Britain. Pretty much everybody in

the top edge along does this 3-.8. -- top Patchell on. That is weird,

the light came on as they did that. They have got to do that again. He

is putting his hand up, that means, Ocampo, he was put off by something

that happened outside of his control. As I was walking, the

lights came on, that spun me out, can we dive again, please? That is

my best guess. The referee will decide whether that happen. Remember

Tom Daley in London? The flashes went off and he asked for another

and he was awarded one. The Mexican Ocampo has just made a request to

the diving officials to see if they can get another dive. By the way,

Petch Echo is diving unbelievably well. He has nailed every single one

of his dives and it is Ocampo who has asked.

He is right. I mention it in commentary. Just as they were about

to dive, the lights came on. They have got to give it, surely. He is

having a decent conversation here. Surely they have to give it to them.

He was in preparation when the lights came on. He does not look

very happy. Watch this. There. He has pushed his luck a little bit. It

came on before he started moving, that the rules are the rules. Look

at Pacheco's dive. It gives us a good idea of what is to come. It is

super complicated. Are they going right or not? Let's have a look.

They are going to go back again. Let's wait and see. Yes, they are

doing it again. Drama in the swimming pool. I think that is fair.

I thought why are those lights coming on like this? They may be on

a timer. What will be interesting is how the Americans and deal with the

delay. It is all very disruptive. We know what happened the last time

with this event in 2004 when there was disruption. With the Greeks,

with people jumping into the swimming pool. And the results were

chaotic after that. Let's settle things down and see what the Mexican

pair have got. Are the Americans protesting about that? No, I do not

think so. They will be up next. They are obviously preparing, or on their

way up to get involved on the board, and then they get sent down again to

allow the Mexicans to have another dive. Let's see. There are still

some conversations going on and the music is still playing. There are a

lot of people walking around shaking their heads. The referee has made

the decision to allow them to dive again. They are now being held up.

Look at it again. Yes, the lights came on and it changes drastically.

Now, I don't know. If they get a re-dive, Ocampo needs to do better

than he did and Pacheco needs to do the same. They are reading out

scores. There is confusion. I agree with you. What is going on here?

Have we been given a re-dive or not? You can tell what the crowd thing.

Yes or no? Stand down, stand up? They are being told to stand down.

Goodbye. That is your mark. Well, that is an absolute farce. That is

ridiculous. Having been told they can have the re-dive, they are now

being told they have not got a re-dive. Here come the marks. I am

confused, Leon. You tell me. We cannot ever tell what went on

because we are mute to the conversations that were going on. It

looked like they were awarded a re-dive and it looked like it was

overturned by the rest of the officials. There is a process they

would have gone through. Now the Mexican divers are making their way

back towards the officials' table to speak once again to the referee and

what is really interesting for me is how the rest of the competitors deal

with it. Obviously the Mexicans are going to be completely... Highs and

lows and adrenaline already running through their system. The Americans

are in the running for a medal and they are on the board and they are

not sure whether they are going to go. They are standing there, it is

cold, the lights are on, the swimming pool is green. I do not

know what is going on. It will be having an effect on our guys. They

are waiting, they will be at the back, staying warm. The divers are

walking away from the officials and the announcement is being made for

the next pair. Here you go, OK. I feel very sorry for them, I think

they have been badly treated. We saw it with our own eyes, the lights

came on as they were preparing. Anyway, that is now history, we move

on. These boys are in middle position at the moment.

Oh, my word, a sensational effort from this US pair. High-fives by

Stephen Foley, the National performance director. He is on his

feet and so am I. This is remarkable. Four and a half forward

somersault in the tuck position. They are Olympic medallists and

quite right as well. What colour medal it will be I have no idea.

This is excellent stuff. Yes, I agree. What a time to do it as well.

We have seen the whole gamut of emotions from Michael Hixton. You

will now see the marks on the screen, the crowd have seen them.

That is astonishing. 450 is now the target score. Great Britain are on

the 363. They need 84 to win it, if they are in that position. This is

really tight now, isn't it? Do you agree with me on 84? I do not know.

I am looking up, because again we are not getting the actual marks

needed for the last dive. I hope my calculations are right. Yes, 84 does

it. 86 does it. A huge score anyway. They are not in the mix for the

medals, but they will want to finish as high as they possibly can. A

great dive to finish on. The Italians have been magnificent out

there today. They have gone all out with their biggest dives. They have

been working hard these past few months since qualifying. They have

not ended up on the podium today, but they set out with that

intention. They have thrown it all at this competition. I young

pairing. Both 21 years old, we are going to see a lot more of this

fantastic Italian pair. Will they break 400? They will be quite close.

The scores come out now. It leaves them slightly shy of 400. Kisses all

round. OK, deep breath from the commentators. Even deeper breaths

from the divers because next up... The Italians make their way off the

deck. This is the moment for Jack and Chris. They know if they do a

3.8 forward four and a half to their very best extent, it is a gold

medal. It has to be as good as they have

ever done. Yes! Come on! That is an Olympic

medal for sure. At least a silver medal. Just the Chinese to follow.

They have done it when it counts. The eyes of the world are on them.

They are looking at the scoreboard. This is what I hoped it would be.

Bang on Synchro. Chris Mears marginally over rotating.

Synchronisation is bang on. That was 3.8 degrees of difficulty. It will

be over 90 points. If it is, they top the US. Only just. Enough is

enough. It is four points better than the US. They are on 454. The

Chinese are on 360. So it is mid-90s. We are all doing

calculations as if it was going out of fashion. You may be ahead of us

at home. 95? Yes, 95. Thank you everybody for doing the

calculations. The Chinese are coming soon, but we reckon 95 for the

Chinese to win it. And they can do it. There is enough marks for them.

We saw 98 from the US. The Russians have faulted too many times to be in

the mix with this one. Very good finish from the Russians, but they

have left it too late. Too many errors in rounds four and five. It

leaves them way off the pace. The Olympic silver medallist from four

years ago, the World Championship silver medallists from last year

will not be anywhere near the podium. They have been out dived and

outclassed today. The results are inconsequential to the results.

Thank you, Russia, for coming. But as it happens, today it is not your

day. We are getting goose bumps up here. We went through this with Tom

and Dan the other day when the last dive in. We waited and waited for

the score and we might be in a similar position here. It will be a

difficult one to call, but 95 wins it for China. 94 and below it is a

Great Britain gold medal for Jack Laugher and Chris Mears. It is worth

a lot of points. It could be worth 100 points. Quinn Khai is going for

his third consecutive three metres Synchro gold medal. This is the dive

that stands between him doing that or getting a silver medal or maybe

even a bronze. No, I do not think that is good

enough. The Chinese may find themselves in a bronze medal

position. Both divers were short into the water. I do not know what

to do, stand up, sit down, watch the replay. This could be a gold medal

for GB. It will get nowhere near 95. I am pretty sure it is gold for Team

GB. Will China split them? Again we have an agonising wait. The marks

have not come. Come on, put us out of our misery. Look at their faces.

That tells you. Come on, get those marks on the screen. They have done

it, oh, my word. It is not even silver for China, it is bronze for

China. That means it is pure gold for Jack and Chris. They have done

it. They came in with medal expectations. We thought they could

get a medal. They have done the ultimate, the best ever. What a

performance. 454, it is gold for Great Britain. The boys are in

tears, absolutely in bits. The emotion has taken over. There is

still one more dive to go, you will have to wait, boys. Still the

Brazilians to go. It will all come out in a moment.

Matos and Aotearoa low. Then we will back to get some more reaction from

the boys -- Outerelo. This hasn't meant anything to the

Brazilians for a long, long time, but they will get a good sendoff

from the home crowd in Rio. Well, that completes the competition

and what a competition it was. Brazil finishing off there, but the

diving had already been done. This is their most complicated dive but I

have completely lost concentration no. That is the first gold ever for

British diving at an Olympic Games, it goes to Jack Laugher and Chris

Mears. I am so proud of those boys. All of the coaches that have worked

so hard over the years with both of those divers. Olympic champions,

well, I am so pleased to be saying that. The Brazilians receive their

marks, they have done a great job today but the big news is that Team

GB are Olympic champions. Now the cameras can be trained fully on our

gold medallists as we say thank you to Brazil for their contribution.

But it has not been about them today. It has not been about the

Chinese. To the certain extent, it has been about the Americans,

because they have done better than anybody would have thought they have

made second place. But those are the scenes downstairs as we focus in on

the likely lads from Leeds and credit must be given to the job that

has been done in Leeds, the job has been done with Jack before by

Lindsey Fraser, what a job she did to get Chris to a certain standard.

Jack Welby back for the individual. Still compensation is going on about

that re-dive, it is still happening down there but it is all history.

Eight minutes, that took to resolve. This is not really what we want to

see, this is history now, it really doesn't matter. What matters from

our point of view is that we have Olympic gold. Silver from... Sorry,

bronze from Goodfellow and the Tom Daley the other day in the two metre

synchro and three metres, we have gone better, by two notches. What a

terrific performance. 434. In the end, they only beat the USA by four

points. China, 443. But there you go, they are all getting in there,

getting in on the act. That is the team downstairs, all wanting to say

their piece and they actually now look very calm, very composed and

collected after the initial emotion, the wave of emotion. The Americans

are having their own celebrations because they didn't expect a silver

medal and China, well, China third. Look at this, Eddie Hinchcliffe in

there and that is Tom Daley's coach in there. Everybody just getting

involved and the conversation is still going on about that re-dive.

Let it go. Let it go. He is going to have to do now. There will be a

protest vote in but it won't have any effect on the standings, I

wouldn't worry about that too much. Just to put it into perspective

Leon, I think we are still waiting for the standings, what this means

for British diving. Well, incredible. The first ever Olympic

gold medal and it goes to Jack and Chris. Jack and Chris, Laugher and

Chris Mears. China, you don't see that too often, in third place, Cao

Yuan and Qin Kai going for three in a row, not able to do it on this

day. Great Britain at the very top of this file.

CLARE BALDING: 21-year-old Jack Laugher and 23-year-old Chris Mears,

the first ever British diving champions. They went and then's

synchronised 3m Springboard and when you think that Chris Mears in
