Welcome back to Rio. We have a review of reasons they should all | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
day coming up. But first, let's had over to Matt Baker to find out | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
whether Max Whitlock has won a medal. Do we know yet? We are still | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
waiting for Belyavskiy score yet, it hasn't come in. It is going to be | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
very, very close. He needs a score of 15.276 to guarantee himself a | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
bronze, and knock Max Whitlock down in the fourth. The tension in the | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
arena is something you can touch. Belyavskiy has seen the score, it is | :00:59. | :01:16. | |
15.130 three. It is not enough. It means that breaks Britain's Max | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Whitlock is guaranteed a medal. -- Great Britain. He is in the top | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
three without a doubt. Still two gymnasts are left to go, Oleg | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
Verniaiev and itchy mora. The question is now, what colour will | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
the Myrtle Beach? Has all -- he Uchimura. He is aiming to defend his | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Olympic title. He needs the high bar routine of his life. | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
Sky-high release, kicks it right out. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
With the full term, brought it is a little bit close on Ben Thompson. -- | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
full turn. -- on Bent arms. Into the big dismount, the double | :02:07. | :02:38. | |
twist, the perfect landing. He has done all he possibly can. Wow, there | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
is absolute relief from quite Uchimura, absolute pressure on all | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
the Naib. He has to go up and follow that. -- on Oleg Verniaiev. Max | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Whitlock knows he is guaranteed a medal. Great Britain have waited 108 | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
years for a medal in the Olympics in the all-round final. The question | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
is, what colour is the medal of Uchimura? Has he done enough to | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
retain his Olympic title. He looked like he was a little bit too close | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
to the bar. To make sure that he didn't fall off. There will be a few | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
deductions for Bent arms. But, the Naib has the stay on. He | :03:26. | :03:37. | |
has got all of the pressure on him now, Verniaiev, on a piece that is | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
not really his favourite. I mean, he is the current world champion on the | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
high bar, Uchimura, and that is the way to finish an all-around | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
competition, to nail a high bar dismount like that was just | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
something I shall. -- something special. The school is in, it is | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
15.8, a massive 92.306 total score. -- the score is in. The pressure is | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
on now. Max Whitlock knows he has got that right. He needs 14.899, of | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
the Naib, to sustain a gold. -- Verniaiev. Even that is a big ask | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
for Baz, because this is not his strongest these of apparatus. No, | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
it's not. It is a piece of apparatus that he has improved over the last | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
year or so, but it is probably his weakest. What would you expect him | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
to score? He scores in between 47 and 52. There you go, between 14.7 | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
and 15.2, he needs 14.899 to take this all-around Olympic title and be | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
the first man to beat Kohei Uchimura. | :05:00. | :05:49. | |
Can he make the dismount? Can he left, can he twist, can he land? | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
Just a hop. Oleg Verniaiev has worked fantastically. He hasn't put | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
a foot wrong. It is down to the judges now. Well, the question is, | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
did he put a foot wrong on that dismount? Because this is going to | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
be very, very close. I think if he had stuck the dismount, he had it, | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
but I'm not sure now. Well, Verniaiev getting the crowd going, | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
they have supported him all the way around. What an all-around final | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
this has been! The gymnasts have done everything they can, it is now | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
in the hands of the judges. Who is going to be the all-around champion? | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
He really went for broke on these catches. A lovely stretch. Body | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
extended as his hands go for the bar. He will have an all-around | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
medal whatever. Yes, but he wants that Olympic title. I'm sure he | :06:59. | :06:59. | |
does. Dead in the hand stand. He really | :07:00. | :07:18. | |
did go for perfection. -- into handstand. 14 899, the score that is | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
needed for gold. Is it a golden moment, or is it silver? His body | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
language... It suggests not. Not enough. Verniaiev scores a 14.8. It | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
is not enough for gold. You were right, Dan. It was a hop on the | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
dismount. There you are, Kohei Uchimura is still undefeated. He is | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
the Olympic all-around champion for the second time. But Great Britain's | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
Max Whitlock, he takes the bronze. What a moment for Great Britain! | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
First all-around medal for 108 years. And Verniaiev makes history | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
himself for Ukraine with the first silver medal. They've had a bronze, | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
but Uchimura is again on top of the world. That man went a long way | :08:27. | :08:36. | |
around, they went toe to toe. That just suggests the respect that they | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
have for each other. What a moment for Max Whitlock! We have a bronze | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
in the gymnastics. Max Whitlock on a score of 19.6 four. All of the hard | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
work of these top three has been worth it. The hours in the gym, the | :08:52. | :09:01. | |
sacrifice in their lives, the help from all of their families. David | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
Belyavskiy, 19.4 98. He finishes in fourth, the worst position to be. | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
But, you know, Dan, you know yourself, the way that gymnastics | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
takes over your life, and, for Max, for Oleg and for Uchimura to be | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
here, that is what you do it for. It is the hours of hard work they put | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
in the gym, every day. They live for gymnastics, for it all to come | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
together in an Olympic final is it just... That is everything you wish | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
for. They would have dreams about this moment. To pull it off today | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
is... The all-around title, we said it at the start, this is the one | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
that gymnasts dream of. It is the ultimate. You know, you look at the | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
six pieces of apparatus, you are pushing your body to the max. The | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
mind boggles at the level of gymnastics that we have seen. Oh, | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
yeah, I can't remember actually such a fantastic Olympic final where all | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
the gymnasts have gone all out and nobody has given marks away by | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
falling or whatever. There was no capitulation here at all. They | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
absolutely won their places. There is confirmation that Kohei Uchimura | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
takes the gold and retained his title here in the all-around final | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
of the Olympic Games. Oleg Verniaiev take the silver, Great Britain's Max | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Whitlock takes the bronze medal, the first medal in an all-around final | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
for 108 years for Great Britain. Nile Wilson finishes in the top | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
eight as well. What a result for Great Britain. Christopher Brooks, | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
vast Lee entertaining, finishes in fourth, 14. -- vast Lee | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
entertaining. Resilient gymnasts in this | :10:57. | :11:09. | |
all-around final as well. It added to the atmosphere here. Well, what a | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
men's all-around final we have seen. Kohei Uchimura comic he managed to | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
keep composure, kept everything together, just the execution and the | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
level of difficulty. What a shame for all of the Naib. He thought that | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
this was his moment. -- Oleg Verniaiev. Max Whitlock, the relief, | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
the relief of the expectation on Max's shoulders coming into this as | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
far as British gymnastics has been concerned, it has been a real | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
pressure for him. It has been a real pressure. You know, silver medal in | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
Nanning two years ago, he has felt the pressure, Max, no doubt about | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
it. Like we said earlier, it seems easier to be chasing, it is easier | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
to be chasing than to be chase. Max has started to be chased by the rest | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
of the world. But he has handled it fantastically. He has improved each | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
competition as we have gone on long. And today he was fantastic, Max. I | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
mean, it just a thought, it is 108 years says a British gymnast has | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
been up on the medal podium in the all-around final. I mean, that just | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
goes to show how difficult this sport is. And I'm sure they would | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
say that domestic these days is very different 108 years ago. -- | :12:35. | :12:35. | |
gymnastics. Over this Olympic cycle, Max has | :12:36. | :12:50. | |
come into his own. In the last three years, he is now a world-class | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
gymnast. What a final it has been, what a moment for Max Whitlock. The | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
Cofie Uchimura and Verniaiev. CLARE BALDING: That was a | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
sensational performance, obviously for the champion, Uchimura, but also | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
for Max Whitlock, to take the bronze, so much pressure on him in | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
all of the apparatus and particularly the floor, his final | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
routine, which is one of his great strengths, the floor and the pommel | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
horse being the ones he competes in as an individual as well. Then he | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
had to wait with great tension to see whether he had done enough, but | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
the good news is that he had done enough. Let's head back to the Rio | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Olympic Arena and talk to best weather. You know what this feels | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
like, to pick up a medal, and what did you make of the way he | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
performed? He held his nerve. The competition was so tough throughout | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
the competition, all of the gymnasts were performing to their maximum, | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
and there was literally tenths in it. We had to sit nervously and wait | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
for Macs, and he went up first in that last rotation, so he set the | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
bar and had to sit and wait. And also, you know how much it takes out | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
of you, we sought Uchimura in the aftermath of his gold medal, clearly | :14:21. | :14:35. | |
really suffering. Yes, most of them are on their third competition, but | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
it is also the relief, it was so close at the top of that table. Beth | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
, we will hear more from you later on, but thank you so much to Beth | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
and the team. It has started pouring with rain, I need a knight in | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
shining armour to bring me an umbrella. I haven't got one! On a | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
wonderful day, you went off to the rowing and you have cursed it again. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
If you need a knight in shining armour, you have come to the wrong | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
man! Twice now I was meant to be at the rowing during these Olympics, | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
both times when I have gone it has been cancelled because of the | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
weather. It is being said around the place that I am a curse. I have | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
chatted to disappointed tennis fans here who had tickets to the tennis, | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
and obviously it was all abandoned today. They didn't have anything to | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
watch. But luckily, there was lots of sporting action. That I haven't | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
cursed! This is what we have coming up. | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
Great Britain's synchro Springboard stars were looking to lay down the | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
law. The Olympic kayak king is crowned at the Whitewater Stadium. | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
We will tell you whether there was any judo joy the Team GB's Sally | :16:04. | :16:16. | |
Conway. And then we will shoot over to catch the men's double trap | :16:17. | :16:25. | |
competition. We will see how Tour de France champion Chris Froome got on | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
in the time trial. And as you may just have seen, it | :16:28. | :16:39. | |
was all action in the gymnastics all-round men's final. We will hear | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
later from Max Whitlock. But we start with the men's synchronised | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
three metres springboard diving, as we just round-up the fans! Have we | :16:53. | :17:01. | |
got our own personal bouncer? We haven't had it all day, you turn up | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
and now we have everything! Anyway, Britain have never won a diving gold | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
at the Olympics. Jack Laugher and Chris Mears our | :17:09. | :17:22. | |
current leaders. Hoping to back-up an advantage. Ready to lay down the | :17:23. | :17:35. | |
advantage here. Yes, so good! This is their bogey dive. I am out of my | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
seat. This is the one, if they got this one, they firmly put pressure | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
on their counterparts. This is excellent work from our boys, inward | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
three and a half in the touch position, 3.4 of difficulty, good | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
execution, and 8.5s coming their way, maybe even a 9, and if they | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
have that, they might be in their 80s. 85.68 for the Brits, 8.5s on | :18:07. | :18:22. | |
the left, 38.5s on the right. Here come the Chinese again, the dive | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
that Great Britain did, Britain got 85.68 on it, what can China do? It | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
is very skilful, the Chinese complete the dive effortlessly. So, | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
inward three and a half, getting the dive done, the aerial work is | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
superb. Hiking out way before they pass the diving board, but I think | :18:50. | :19:06. | |
Kim Ki closer to us hits the water, the bumps in the wrong places, and I | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
think one judge gave it 6.5. They got away with it a little, the | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
Chinese. They are in third, America have slotted into second place, and | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
look at this for a leaderboard. Great Britain, a big dive to come | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
next. USA three behind, China three behind then. Then it is Germany, | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
Mexico and Italy, still in range as we enter around five. The tariff is | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
so high on this, it can be stratospheric in terms of marks. | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
Forward to the half somersaults. Here they go. | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
Yes, it is good enough! It is good enough! Yes, yes, yes! Marginally | :19:52. | :20:03. | |
different distances from the diving board, but Jack and Chris have | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
nailed this. This is huge, it needed to be really, really good, you could | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
see they could drive a car through that gap, the judges will not give | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
them very big marks the synchronisation. I think they will | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
get 8s on synchro, but because of the degree of difficulty, they will | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
get way over 80 points. If only they were exactly the same distance from | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
the diving board, we would be looking at 100 points. Are we | :20:30. | :20:41. | |
getting excited all what here? 86.58 for Laugher and Mears, and they now | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
have an 11 point advantage over the USA. What they need to get above | :20:46. | :20:55. | |
Great Britain here is 9s across the board on their reverse somersault. | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
They would get just in front with that. | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
It is a supersonic effort, my goodness me. I would love to be | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
saying that wasn't excellent, but it was superior. What a guide, reverse | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
three and a half, we saw how easy it is to make a mistake, the Russian | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
pair. Marginally different on the spin speeds, but look at the smooth | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
entry into the water from both athletes. Execution will be 9s, | :21:29. | :21:38. | |
execution will be 8.5s, it will be so close. China not giving up, as | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
expected, they are putting up a fight. Not leaving, though, that is | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
the crucial point. That takes them within three points of Great | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
Britain. Jack Laugher and Chris Mears have a slender lead over | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
China, eight points ahead of the USA. It looks as though it will be | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
those three competing for the medals. | :22:05. | :22:17. | |
Forward for the half for Dorman and Hickson from the USA Op oh, my word! | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
A sensational effort from the US pair. High-fives all round, Steve | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
Foley, National performance director, on his feet, and so I. I | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
love to celebrate diving into this is remarkable. Forward for a half | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
somersaults in the tuck position, and that is spot-on for this US | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
pair. They are Olympic medallists, and quite right, too. What colour | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
medal it will be, I have no idea. This is excellent stuff. Yes, I | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
agree! Forte town to do it, as well. We have seen the whole gamut of | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
emotions from Mike Hickson, and now we will see the marks. And so will | :23:04. | :23:20. | |
you, 98.04, that is astonishing. 450 is now the target score, Great | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
Britain on 363, so 84 to win it. This is the moment. For Jack and | :23:29. | :23:39. | |
Chris. Laugher and Mears. They know if they do 3.8, forward for the | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
half, do their best extent, it is a gold medal around their necks. It | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
has to be really as good as they have ever done, because the | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
Americans put loads of pressure on them. | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
Yes, come on! That is an Olympic medal for sure! At least a silver | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
medal. Just the Chinese to follow. They have done it when it counts. | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
The eyes of the world are on them, they are looking at the scoreboard. | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
This is just as I hoped it would be, forward for the half in the tuck | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
position, bang on synchro, Chris Mears just marginally over rotating, | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
but apart from that, both divers on with execution, synchronisation bang | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
on. It is going to be over 90 points, and if it is, they will top | :24:36. | :24:45. | |
the US. They do, only just. 91.20, but enough is enough, it is four | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
points better than the US. They are on 454, the Chinese on 360. | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
Remember, Qin Kai is going for his third consecutive three metres | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
synchro gold medal. This is the dive that stands between him doing that | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
or getting a silver medal or maybe even a bronze. 95 is the magic mark | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
for China on this. No, I don't think it's good enough. | :25:15. | :25:26. | |
I do not think it is. The Chinese may find themselves in a bronze | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
medal position. Both divers short into the water. I do not know what | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
to do, stand up, sit down, watch the replay. This could be gold for GB. | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
Forward for the half from the Chinese, in needed to be over 95 | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
points, it will be nowhere near that are, I think it will be gold for GB. | :25:46. | :25:54. | |
Again, this agonising wait, the marks haven't come! Put us out of | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
our misery! It must be gold. Gerry-macro | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
it is numeric Uno, number one, let's get those marks on the screen. It is | :26:06. | :26:14. | |
not gold joiner or even silver, it is bronze for China, so it is gold, | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
pure gold, for Jack and Chris, Laugher and Mears have done it. They | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
came in with medal expectations. We knew, we thought they could get a | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
medal, and they have, the ultimate, the best ever. | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
CLARE BALDING: They did something that no British diver has ever done, | :26:37. | :26:45. | |
together, taking the gold-medal, Jack Laugher, 21 years old from | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
Harrogate, and Chris Mears, 23, from Reading, both of them now Olympic | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
champions, and that means of course that the flag was raised on the | :26:55. | :26:56. | |
national anthem played. Jack, Chris, Britain's first-ever | :26:57. | :27:52. | |
Olympic diving champions. What? Yes, it is pretty cool. We are confused | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
as hell, and so happy. We did a fantastic job, two points off our | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
TB, not even our best, and we have this gold medal. We are so lucky and | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
happy with the way it has gone. It is just ridiculous. Talk us through | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
that fifth dive, because that is one of the most difficult dives you can | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
execute, and you nailed it under pressure. | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
Yeah, any dive under pressure is nerve wracking. That is probably our | :28:23. | :28:29. | |
most high-pressure dive. Over the end I thought I had pushed it | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
forwards, but I managed a good finish in the end. Our sink was a | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
bit of, we can had scored more but it was enough. We did well to be up | :28:39. | :28:49. | |
there. You guys are housemates. I've heard you have got space on your | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
wall, a couple of blank frames, ready for some pictures to go in | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
there. What picture will it be? We will have a think about it. I'd | :28:58. | :29:00. | |
probably say one of the pictures from today! We have got a couple of | :29:01. | :29:10. | |
frames emptied but on the wall. Jack, did you feel like you had a | :29:11. | :29:13. | |
point to prove, you were disappointed after London 2012 in | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
the individual because you went out early? That is the reason I was so | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
emotional in the end, it was a reflection of how much hard work I'd | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
put in, how far I had come from almost nothing to now everything. | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
This is the big one, and to do it today is the dream. To do it | :29:30. | :29:33. | |
alongside my best friend... You know, from London to now, four | :29:34. | :29:39. | |
years, we have put in a lot of hard work, set backs as well, things I've | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
had to give up, all that kind of stuff to get this. It is beyond | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
worth it. It is my absolute dream. You know, it's crazy. Talk about | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
tough journeys, Chris, in 2009 you were on the brink of death, is that | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
fair to say, you have a 5% chance of survival after you contract it a | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
horrible virus? That's right, to be honest, even after going through | :30:03. | :30:04. | |
that horrible experience and making it to London, that was enough for | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
me. That was something great. And then competing really well, I came | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
night individually, fifth in the Synchro, I was absolutely buzzing | :30:14. | :30:18. | |
for that. -- I came ninth. We were in a difficult position coming into | :30:19. | :30:21. | |
this game because we knew that we could get medals, but we kind of | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
did, but to actually have it is insane. Let's have a look at them. | :30:27. | :30:35. | |
Gold medal! Congratulations, guys, congratulations. Thank you. | :30:36. | :30:42. | |
CLARE BALDING: Leanne was part of the commentary team. Until today, | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
you were the buyout in front, you had a silver medal, you must be | :30:46. | :30:51. | |
thrilled -- you were the guy. What a competition, everybody has a back | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
story. The hard work that these guys have put in and to watch it on fold | :30:55. | :30:58. | |
as it did today, it could not have been more dramatic. They have dived | :30:59. | :31:03. | |
consistently, went all guns blazing, and they are Olympic champions, | :31:04. | :31:11. | |
unbelievable. You talk about all guns blazing, look back at the first | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
dive, which you said is the hardest dive in the world. Exactly right, | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
this is a forward 2.5 somersaults with requests. They were only one of | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
two pairs to do this in the contest. It is a little out of timeous for a | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
synchronisation goes, but it is a high difficulty. -- as far a | :31:29. | :31:33. | |
synchronisation goes. They are looking for points in the mid-80s, | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
this is what they get. This was crucial, because if they didn't get | :31:38. | :31:40. | |
this right from the Chinese and Americans would have opened up. From | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
a tactical point of view, how far in the build-up to these Olympics do | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
you think they thought, we are going to go with the world's hardest dive? | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
And also, tactically, how important is it but it in the right position | :31:54. | :31:58. | |
of your six dives? Great questions. Interestingly enough, this is what | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
Jack and Chris have been working on for a number of years, but it was | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
never quite ready until this year, when they managed to stab up a gear | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
and add it to their repertoire. They knew that if they wanted to compete | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
with the Chinese at the very best they needed maximum difficulty. They | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
brought it into their programme earlier this year, it worked for | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
them a few months ago in the Europeans when they went | :32:20. | :32:21. | |
head-to-head with the Russians and beat them, and it worked for them | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
today. Is his fabulous to what it unfold. I know many people watching | :32:26. | :32:30. | |
at home enjoyed it. Until the Commonwealth Games when Jack Laugher | :32:31. | :32:33. | |
became a bit of a superstar, and to some extent Chris Mears, they have | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
been really very much under the radar, I guess because Tom Daley, | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
deservedly, get so much attention. Yes, it is nice when you are almost | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
in the shadows. In the diving world they have been recognised for their | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
achievements ever since they started to stand on podiums, as you have | :32:49. | :32:58. | |
mentioned. It is nice now when only a few days into the diving | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
competition we have got two muddles, a bronze and Olympic gold medal, I'm | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
so proud of the boys. I'm sure their heads spinning. I spoke to them, how | :33:05. | :33:06. | |
you, they were like... I'm sure that sums it up. I'm delighted for the | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
coaches and British diving in general, they have worked hard to | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
get where they are. Do you think the lack of tension has maybe help | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
them.? Obviously, the pressure is on themselves as individuals and a | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
team, but they can get on with their work in a way that Tom Daley hasn't | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
been able to. I think that's a question for them, when you are in | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
the diving world you are competing against the same athletes in every | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
competition, World Series, and World Championship. But they have been | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
performing all year, they have got the momentum, even in training I | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
could tell that they were on it. They were training in the same group | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
as the Russians, there was a dive for dive thing going on. They came | :33:43. | :33:46. | |
out and put the pressure on the Chinese, the defending champions, | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
and they faulted. It goes to show what is possible. Jack still has the | :33:50. | :33:58. | |
individual three metre springboard to come. As Chris got anything else | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
loved? No, Chris is on holiday now. Lucky Chris! I don't know what he is | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
going to do, he is going to have to let things calm down, refocus and | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
come out all guns blazing, he is going to be a force to be reckoned | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
with diving in that form. We can report that the pool is still green, | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
we don't have any idea why, the divers don't seem to be doing so | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
back to worried about it. It is very windy and cold, suited to Britain! | :34:21. | :34:25. | |
Who cares about a green pool? It's the new thing! Fabulous stuff from | :34:26. | :34:28. | |
Jack Laugher and Chris Mears. Now we will turn attention to shooting. | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
Peter Wilson took gold in London 2012. We have an all British affair | :34:34. | :34:36. | |
for the bronze buckle. This was Steve Scott up against Time Kneale. | :34:37. | :34:41. | |
And Richard Drew is your commentator. | :34:42. | :34:48. | |
COMMENTATOR: Six doubles left, it could all still turn around here. | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
This man has to keep concentrating. You can just see the focus of the | :34:56. | :34:57. | |
athlete. Still a two shot advantage. Two | :34:58. | :35:18. | |
misses for Time Kneale. -- to him Kneale. | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
Nasty rise through the middle there. Did well to sort it out. Just a hand | :35:23. | :35:30. | |
going up there from Steve Scott. They have not many seconds to get | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
the shot away. Just wanted to sort himself out there. Let the referee | :35:36. | :35:43. | |
no. It hasn't affected his concentration, 22-20. Kneale needs | :35:44. | :35:51. | |
to keep hitting the doubles and hoping for the best. | :35:52. | :36:01. | |
He has hit the last three doubles. He is back in the groove. This man | :36:02. | :36:09. | |
so far hasn't missed, and carries on, 24 out of 24. Three more doubles | :36:10. | :36:17. | |
to go. And Steve Scott is very, very close to taking this bronze medal. | :36:18. | :36:23. | |
There is still time for this to change around, you know. He will not | :36:24. | :36:32. | |
be taking anything for granted. The weather is gloomy, it has been a wet | :36:33. | :36:36. | |
and damp day in Rio today. Very wintry. | :36:37. | :36:42. | |
Nice from Kneale. That is the fourth double in a row that he has nailed. | :36:43. | :36:50. | |
But it is all in Steven Scott's hands, and the edges closer to this | :36:51. | :36:56. | |
bronze medal. For more shots, two doubles for these athletes. -- four | :36:57. | :37:03. | |
more shots. If anything happens, it will then go to a shoot off. Beale | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
is keeping going. Hoping rock so back for a wobble from -- hoping for | :37:09. | :37:17. | |
a wobble from this man here. He needs to nail the next two. Kneale | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
knows that if he misses one of these then he misses out on the bronze | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
medal. Last pair. Last double for Time Kneale of Great Britain. | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
And he nailed it. One out of two will do it for Steven Scott. And he | :37:33. | :37:44. | |
gets a perfect 30 in this bronze medal match! And Steven Scott, the | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
31-year-old, the world ranked number ten, takes the bronze medal in the | :37:50. | :37:56. | |
double trap competition. CLARE BALDING: After Ed Ling's | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
bronze medal in the trap a couple of days ago, Steven Scott follows up | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
with a bronze in the double trap, his clubmate and team-mate Tim | :38:05. | :38:11. | |
Kneale. Just real jury for him. Look at this for a face of celebration -- | :38:12. | :38:18. | |
real joy. Showing us the medal. Afterwards he spoke to Nick Hope. | :38:19. | :38:23. | |
Massive congratulations. Can you sum up what this incredible bronze medal | :38:24. | :38:30. | |
means to you? Easy... No, I can't put it into words, but I can put it | :38:31. | :38:36. | |
into a massive smile. It feels amazing, absolutely amazing. You | :38:37. | :38:40. | |
guys really had to come through it today, because the missions were not | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
easy? No, definitely not. As you can see, the conditions are not the best | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
-- the conditions were not easy. The targets were tricky with the wind | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
and rain pushing down on them. But we all had to shoot the same | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
targets, it was a fair competition, so it is all good. And I've come out | :38:57. | :39:02. | |
with a bronze medal, I can't comprehend it. It was almost British | :39:03. | :39:04. | |
weather today, did that help at all, do you think? It was like a British | :39:05. | :39:09. | |
summer, it definitely benefited us! Yes, without a doubt. Obviously, Ed | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
Ling kick-started things for GB shooters the other day. How much did | :39:14. | :39:18. | |
that help with the squad and the feel-good factor coming into these | :39:19. | :39:24. | |
events? I think it was our second competing in shooting, and it was | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
just great to see. Ed was there supporting us today. Just before he | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
flies back home this evening, he is dying to get back to his farm. He | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
was here, and that meant a lot as well. The see my family here and | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
friends and Ed coming along before he's going to nip off to the | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
airport, it's amazing. It was a fantastic bronze medal final to | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
watch. What was it like to take part in? Obviously up against a guy that | :39:49. | :39:54. | |
you know well, Tim? Well, it was a case of I kind of switched off ever | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
so slightly, one of us is coming away with a bronze medal, and I said | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
that to him before we went on, I was like, look, whoever wins, Great | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
Britain is coming away with a bronze medal. We both have a little cuddle | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
before we went on. And, yeah, it was just amazing, awesome, awesome | :40:11. | :40:18. | |
feeling. Can you hold the medal up to the camera and told the audience | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
what it means to you? The world, the world, literally. I have worked my | :40:24. | :40:27. | |
butt off for 14 years to get one of these and I have finally got one. | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
Oh... Yet... Just trying to get it together to think about. It feels | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
amazing, absolutely amazing. Massive congratulations. Isn't it amazing | :40:37. | :40:44. | |
what a couple can do! It is amazing to see so many British competitors | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
smiling on day five. We have more muddle is to bring you, also the | :40:49. | :40:53. | |
rugby sevens, Britain's men in action, and Chris Froome, Geraint | :40:54. | :40:55. | |
Thomas and Emma Pooley all going in the time trial today. But now we're | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
going to turn our attention is the judo. This is the 70 kilograms | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
category, Sally Conway was our hope in this, and this is how her day | :41:05. | :41:05. | |
unfolded. The women's 70 kilo judo contest had | :41:06. | :41:16. | |
Sally Conway making her first appearance at Rio 2016. And that is | :41:17. | :41:24. | |
it. Not hanging around at all. With less than a minute on. -- Gulen. | :41:25. | :41:35. | |
What a reversal for Sally Conway, what a move! | :41:36. | :41:46. | |
A warning for Sally Conway, an Olympic semifinal awaits. A third in | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
a row. That is amazing stuff, it is going | :41:53. | :42:04. | |
to go into Golden score here. Sally Conway has almost won this match | :42:05. | :42:11. | |
three times. Oh, she has lost its! She's been taken down, Sally Conway. | :42:12. | :42:22. | |
Sally Conway gets the medal. A bronze medal for Conway. And I have | :42:23. | :42:29. | |
to say that she fully deserved that. Absolute brilliance. | :42:30. | :42:36. | |
And there is Sally Conway going onto the podium. Euan Burton, Kate Howey, | :42:37. | :42:45. | |
both part of her coaching team as well -- Kate Hoey. It is a | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
well-deserved bronze medal. For Sally Conway. And afterwards she | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
spoke to cat bounce. How does that feel? It hasn't even sunk in yet, | :42:55. | :43:00. | |
this is what I dream my whole life or, to come away as an Olympic | :43:01. | :43:03. | |
medallist and today I have achieved that. You looked so determined, | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
there was no way you were leaving the arena without a medal. No, this | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
has been my dream for the last four years as London. It has taken me a | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
long time to get over it, but today, I can't put it into words, it is | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
amazing. A brilliant, brilliant fight from you, right way through, | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
many brilliant performances, you beat the current world champion, you | :43:26. | :43:28. | |
lost in the end of the three-time world champion but you were all over | :43:29. | :43:33. | |
it, you just looked so determined. Yet, I understand it is such a | :43:34. | :43:36. | |
strong field, I thought I was going to come away with the medal today, I | :43:37. | :43:40. | |
would have to be on my best game and put on my best performance. I was so | :43:41. | :43:45. | |
happy I was able to do that. After losing the semifinal and missing the | :43:46. | :43:47. | |
chance to fight for silver and gold, how did you pick yourself up for the | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
bronze? There wasn't much time in between, I had no choice, I had to | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
focus on the next one ahead of me and crack on the same as I have been | :43:56. | :44:04. | |
doing all day today, thankfully it paid off. Lots of shouts. We in the | :44:05. | :44:07. | |
stands. How you going to celebrate? It's amazing, I'm not from Brazil, | :44:08. | :44:09. | |
obviously, but the crowd have made me feel special and at home, and I | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
want to beg everyone, it is pretty cool. Congratulations, Sally, go and | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
celebrate. -- I want to thank everyone. | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
As Sally said, that is one of the arena is with a great atmosphere, | :44:23. | :44:33. | |
and many have been the victim of winning the first match and then | :44:34. | :44:38. | |
losing another one. And with all of these medals, it makes a massive | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
difference to lottery funding on the survival of the sport. Gemma Gibbons | :44:42. | :44:47. | |
who won a silver medal last time in London, she is married to you in | :44:48. | :44:50. | |
Burton who is on the coaching team. We have huge crowds streaming in | :44:51. | :44:56. | |
here for late-night basketball. The ones coming for tennis were | :44:57. | :44:59. | |
disappointed, there is no tennis tonight, it is still raining. You | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
can still see the drizzle in the floodlights of the tennis arena | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
behind us. Andy Murray and Jo Konta were both due to play today. They | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
get a rest. Let's go to the men's kayak, because Joe Clarke was | :45:13. | :45:18. | |
Britain's hoping this. When he came to do his run, Pete Carroll was the | :45:19. | :45:22. | |
man to beat, the Slovenian, Top of the Pops after a run of 88.70 | :45:23. | :45:29. | |
seconds. That was the target for Clark, and your commentators are | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
Helen Reeves and Patrick Winterton. Here is Joe Clarke, it would be | :45:33. | :45:46. | |
sensational if he could crack that time. Under orders to hold back, we | :45:47. | :45:53. | |
believe, the 23-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent. Stafford and Stoke | :45:54. | :45:59. | |
Canoe club will be packed today watching his progress. He needs to | :46:00. | :46:05. | |
be calm and settle into that early. Tip around the gates at four, he | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
wants to keep tracking downstream. He has a nice open style here, it is | :46:11. | :46:24. | |
all about this line, and this looks sharp, it is sharp. Joe Clarke has | :46:25. | :46:32. | |
only been on the British senior team for four years. He won selection for | :46:33. | :46:44. | |
the Olympics back in October, he has been able to prepare specifically | :46:45. | :46:52. | |
for this run. He is clean, and he is getting faster and faster as the run | :46:53. | :46:57. | |
goes on, but he finds himself broadside on the big wave, but he | :46:58. | :47:03. | |
has great power to keep himself online. He needs to get the boat up | :47:04. | :47:10. | |
and running. Date 22, a little reverse and a tight pull-out, that | :47:11. | :47:14. | |
is looking good, it is looking tight. He was up on the clock going | :47:15. | :47:22. | |
through 22, and the time could be beaten, and it is! Sensational, Joe | :47:23. | :47:30. | |
Clarke has secured himself a medal here. It is definitely going to be | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
bronze and lest he beats Jiri Prskavec. Don't think in terms of | :47:35. | :47:44. | |
gold quite yet, because Prskavec started as the favourite, and Grigar | :47:45. | :47:52. | |
was sensational in the semifinals, there is no reason he might not be | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
again. That was the run of his life. Yes, he has built from that run when | :47:57. | :48:02. | |
he had to make it work, and this shows maturity, I can do this, I can | :48:03. | :48:08. | |
stay controlled, and he built on it. The pressure was high, he was tight | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
on 19, had to make it work. He made it work for him, not the line we see | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
many people do, the kayak men here are all building on their runs, and | :48:19. | :48:21. | |
what a wonderful final this is turning out to be. Looked as though | :48:22. | :48:27. | |
he spun a little early 19 and was having to put his back into extreme | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
extension to get ahead through the gate, and then the line on wasn't | :48:32. | :48:35. | |
right, but it didn't stop him, it turned out to be his advantage. Joe | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
Clarke has pulled out a storm, nice to see all of the paddlers coming | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
through to congratulate him. Bad news for Brazil, De Silva is out of | :48:45. | :48:48. | |
the medals, but we still have two to go. Don't move for the next seven | :48:49. | :48:58. | |
minutes. Jiri Prskavec of the Czech Republic is on his way, trying to | :48:59. | :49:01. | |
beat that time. The split has to be good all the way down. If you are | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
half a second down on the first split, that comes just 30 seconds. | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
Not giving away anything in the first four gates. The first upstream | :49:11. | :49:16. | |
gate on the course, quickly out into the flow. This is where Clark was | :49:17. | :49:22. | |
good through the flow, and watch the clock, he is inside, it is lightning | :49:23. | :49:32. | |
quick from Prskavec. And a touch from Prskavec, that could be so | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
expensive. We have only got 0.49 other second between gold, silver | :49:39. | :49:42. | |
and bronze, so to have two second added on could be damaging to your | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
hopes, and Prskavec knows it. He is pushing extra hard at the moment. | :49:47. | :49:56. | |
His execution at gate 17, great surge, quick through the upstream, | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
and across now to 20. But he had to bear in mind, he had been given that | :50:01. | :50:07. | |
penalty, but he was still only a little behind, we think Joe Clarke's | :50:08. | :50:13. | |
time is under threat. One more gates to go, he is held just a little bit | :50:14. | :50:19. | |
on gate 23, will that cost him the gold? He is outside! That Little | :50:20. | :50:26. | |
mistake between 22 and 23 cost in the gold. But he is into bronze | :50:27. | :50:33. | |
medal, Peter Kauzer sitting in silver at the moment, two penalties, | :50:34. | :50:39. | |
he is only 0.46 bind. That is the quickest run we have seen from | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
anyone by far by Prskavec, but the penalties count. Look how tight it | :50:44. | :50:51. | |
is. Having to push these lines, there is no option. They have to | :50:52. | :50:56. | |
make sure that they don't give away anything at all, and their Prskavec | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
really going for it. It worked very hard, because things were not always | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
ideal. We mentioned earlier since the Junior World Championships when | :51:06. | :51:08. | |
he took the run conservatively in the semifinals and then it went | :51:09. | :51:13. | |
wrong, he is a man who goes 100%, but now he has to sit and wait. This | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
will be the longest three minutes of his life, because Jakub Grigar could | :51:20. | :51:31. | |
still take his place. If Grigar produces a run quicker than 88.9, | :51:32. | :51:39. | |
then the Czech will miss out and the Slovakian will be on the podium. | :51:40. | :51:50. | |
So, here we go. Grigar of Slovakia, 12th in the first run, indicating a | :51:51. | :52:02. | |
good performance. He is only 19 years of age, surely the pressure | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
could be too much. Joe Clarke city in Gold medal position at the | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
moment, and he will have his fingers crossed, not that it goes wrong but | :52:11. | :52:13. | |
that it doesn't go brilliantly well for Grigar. He will have to | :52:14. | :52:18. | |
replicate his first run time, and it is looking good at the moment. Very | :52:19. | :52:27. | |
quick, but that seven, eight, he threw the head inside, taking all | :52:28. | :52:30. | |
the risks in the world. This looks quick but he gets a little too far | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
into the wave, held for a fraction of a second, and fractions | :52:36. | :52:39. | |
separating the top four at the moment, just 0.49 other second. 17 | :52:40. | :52:47. | |
is OK. Nailed 17 and it is all about the spin. He is up on the split, but | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
you can't give away anything, slower on hold across, and a little held in | :52:54. | :52:59. | |
the wave as well. And wide on 20. This is going to be extremely tight. | :53:00. | :53:04. | |
Watch the time on 22, he has to be well under 77 seconds. He goes back | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
up through the gate, 75, 76, this will be desperately close. He needs | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
a perfect line to the finish, gets held on the stopper, that cost | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
Prskavec and it could well cost Grigar as well. And it is Joe Clarke | :53:21. | :53:28. | |
of Great Britain, the 23-year-old that is the Olympic champion for | :53:29. | :53:35. | |
2016. Helen, you were saying yesterday it would be fantastic if | :53:36. | :53:37. | |
the youngest paddler in the British team what a medal, you didn't | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
suggest the gold medal. That is so good for the future of British | :53:43. | :53:48. | |
paddling. Absolutely. The men's kayak discipline is such a tight | :53:49. | :53:51. | |
discipline, we have some good juniors and under 23s coming | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
through, and the him to come out on the biggest platform in the world | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
and perform that way is phenomenal. He should be so proud of himself, | :54:00. | :54:04. | |
his coach, they have worked very hard as a whole team, those hours | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
and weeks spent on this course have come to fruition, and he must be | :54:10. | :54:11. | |
absolutely delighted. What a fantastic performance. There are the | :54:12. | :54:18. | |
results, and yes, Joe Clarke of Great Britain is the new Olympic | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
champion in K-1. He has done it here at Diadora. Peter Kauzer in silver, | :54:24. | :54:31. | |
Prskavec in bronze. What a sensational performance in | :54:32. | :54:42. | |
his first Olympics. Done in front of his celebrating family and friends, | :54:43. | :54:47. | |
the 23-year-old onto the top podium to receive the gold medal and the | :54:48. | :54:49. | |
national anthem. CHEERING | :54:50. | :55:46. | |
And afterwards, Joe spoke to another gold medallist, Matthew Pinsent. Joe | :55:47. | :55:50. | |
Clarke, Olympic champion. That sounds good, doesn't it! I am | :55:51. | :55:55. | |
absolutely made up, I can't quite believe it, my words will probably | :55:56. | :56:00. | |
come out in a big blur, so bear with me. It is an amazing feeling. There | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
was some rumour about you in the semifinal, your coach had said hold | :56:07. | :56:13. | |
back a little and get a steady run. Yes, just to do and 85% run just to | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
make sure you get through to the top ten, I fell foul of a 50 in the | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
first round of the heat, probably pushing too hard, so just a notch it | :56:24. | :56:26. | |
back and make sure I made the top ten and then push for the medals. | :56:27. | :56:30. | |
But then for the final it was something different, wasn't it? Yes, | :56:31. | :56:37. | |
don't go to crazy, leave a little in the tank if you needed. And what was | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
it like waiting at the bottom of the run, you know you have a medal but | :56:43. | :56:47. | |
still two paddlers to come. It is nerve wracking, you don't know what | :56:48. | :56:50. | |
to say, almost hoping a little bit they don't perform to their | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
potential, or slide behind you, but I can't control their performances, | :56:55. | :57:00. | |
I just do mine on the day, and that was enough for the gold medal on the | :57:01. | :57:05. | |
day. There were dozens of people, watching at home on the big screen, | :57:06. | :57:09. | |
message for them? Cheers, guys, I will see you soon and we will have a | :57:10. | :57:15. | |
big party! Well done, congratulations, everyone at home is | :57:16. | :57:17. | |
very proud of your achievements today. Thank you, everybody. | :57:18. | :57:22. | |
CLARE BALDING: I don't think Joe Clarke. Smiling four years. Helen | :57:23. | :57:28. | |
Reeves, you were commentating there, a gold medallist yourself years ago. | :57:29. | :57:36. | |
Why was Joe Clarke superior? The way the course was designed was very | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
much for the technicians, it was about finding the rhythm, picking | :57:41. | :57:44. | |
the right spots and getting the drive in on those particular spot, | :57:45. | :57:48. | |
so it worked for the fast, dynamic paddlers, maybe not so much for | :57:49. | :57:53. | |
those that use brute force. Fathauer on trained eye, Claire and myself | :57:54. | :57:58. | |
were talking and saying, when you hit the difficult water, is it | :57:59. | :58:01. | |
strength that gets you through, and you said it was the opposite? The | :58:02. | :58:07. | |
strength helps for when you need it, when you go wrong, to get you out of | :58:08. | :58:11. | |
trouble, but the actual finesse is what you are looking for, the timing | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
between the position of where you put your stroke, and using the | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
water, so the guys who use the role of the waves was crucial, and | :58:21. | :58:23. | |
getting the left, making sure the bow of the boat is try is important, | :58:24. | :58:28. | |
because when the bow of the boat is dry, it is running fast. So you have | :58:29. | :58:32. | |
to have a certain amount of instinctive flair and rhythm? Yes, | :58:33. | :58:37. | |
and all of these guys have been doing it since they were really | :58:38. | :58:40. | |
young, and that is what it is all about. It is difficult to get into a | :58:41. | :58:44. | |
boat and learn the real feel of the water. In the build-up, how much of | :58:45. | :58:49. | |
a looked they get at the course? I have spent a few days at the | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
eventing and cross-country, then the show-jumping, and grisly they get to | :58:54. | :58:56. | |
walk the course measure the steps. What other kayakers get? As the | :58:57. | :59:03. | |
event goes on, they are getting more and more. The singles, they got to | :59:04. | :59:07. | |
see at the night before, they saw a few demonstration runners go down, | :59:08. | :59:11. | |
that they were on the course, then the kayakers have seen the sea ones, | :59:12. | :59:15. | |
and the sea tos tomorrow have seen these. But they don't race it until | :59:16. | :59:22. | |
they race it for real? No, they have to be ready. One of the things that | :59:23. | :59:29. | |
these youngsters have in common, those who have overcome a severest | :59:30. | :59:43. | |
illness like Chris Mears. Yes, and Joe Clarke had a severe batch of -- | :59:44. | :59:49. | |
bout of meningitis when he was younger, he was hospitalised. He is | :59:50. | :59:53. | |
a fighter and he wasn't going to give up anything. Those shots of | :59:54. | :59:57. | |
friends and family are just fantastic, art they? Yes, it sends | :59:58. | :00:01. | |
us all into this buzz of excitement, it is amazing, and to see the | :00:02. | :00:05. | |
excitement on their faces was incredible. | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
When a sport comes to look for, we ask this a lot but it is important | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
because parents and kids will be watching this, if there is a | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
12-year-old or 10-year old who wants to have a go at something similar, | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
is it easier to start with canoeing, are there more opportunities around | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
the country to canoe rather than kayak? Canoeing and kayaking comes | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
under the same umbrella, it doesn't really matter, it is all about | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
finding a club and a place to do it. There are so many, and the beauty of | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
canoeing is that there are so many different disciplines, being on the | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
water is a unique way to look at the world. And where he trains, one of | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
the big things that has come out of London 2012 is an amazing training | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
facility in London, it is doing is job of producing Olympic champions. | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
Thank you. We will do they get inspired theme, brownie point for | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
me! They get inspired section of the BBC sport website has details of all | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
the sports you will see in the Olympics and how you can get | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
involved. Let's talk about the sailing, the conditions didn't stop | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
that in the same way it did the right wing. Shirley Robinson can | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
give us an update. The best use is Giles Scott moving up the | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
leaderboard? Yes, the British sailors did well in the British | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
weather. Giles Scott had a difficult day yesterday, but today he came | :01:34. | :01:45. | |
out. He was sailing just behind BMB Copacabanter is out on the Atlantic | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Ocean, a second and first. He only got the second because the winds | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
were so huge he couldn't find the first bar. A great day. He is back | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
on form, back on the top where he belongs. A big sire of relief all | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
round. Could you explain the new class in the Olympics, Ben 17, a | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
male - female duo. Brand-new for this Olympic Games. It is a | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
semi-foil catamaran, like the America's Cup. I know Claire knows | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
about that. It is the fastest boat in the Olympics. They semi-left out | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
of the water. It is all on, great racing. Today, they raced under | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer. Wind from everywhere, it was not for | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
the faint-hearted. We had a young duo, first Olympic Games, Ben Saxton | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
and Nicola Groves. Not the best start but they showed real character | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
and pulled back to Mac storm results and are now joint first on the | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
leaderboard, great news. -- two great results. Yet again we are | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
talking about the weather, the rain and the wind earlier this morning, | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
it made the time trial conditions really, really difficult for both | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
the men and women. We're going to focus on the men's race, Geraint | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Thomas and the three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome going in | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
this for Britain. Your commentators are Chris Boardman and Simon | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
Brotherton. COMMENTATOR: Walter taking a few | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
last deep breaths. Oh, and he didn't even get round the | :03:11. | :03:23. | |
first corner. Geraint Thomas on the starters, given a late entry into | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
this event. It is interesting. Walter, not one that he was | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
planning. Here is Roland Denis from Australia. He was in the Tour de | :03:33. | :03:43. | |
France last year. -- Rohan Dennis. One last shot at Olympic glory for | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
Fabian Cancellara. He fell off, but didn't get up. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
The winner of the Tour de France is looking to hold onto that form. He | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
leads a blistering ride. This course does suit him, he has got a chance. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
Chris Froome is underway on the Olympic time trial. Fabian | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Cancellara, once he gets over the top of this crime coming he is going | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
to be close to Dennis. -- the top of this climb. Fabian Cancellara | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
marginally in front of Rohan Dennis. Geraint Thomas, from a British point | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
of view, just over five seconds down the time of Fabian Cancellara, he is | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
very much in the mark at this stage. Here comes Chris Froome. Out towards | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the top of the first climb. He is going to be slower than Geraint | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Thomas here. That is fascinating, having seen the aggressive start | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
that you would generally expect him to be the fastest. But he is not | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
doing that, he is some way away from it, it has to be said. A steady | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
start from him. Steady in deed, and with work to do now. | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
That gear really starting to tell for Dennis now. Has he started to | :05:03. | :05:14. | |
fast, or has he placed it nicely? Dumoulin slower than we would have | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
in abated, but then again, so was Chris Froome. Maybe they are pacing | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
their rights well. -- than we would have expected. They are getting into | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
the second lap, leaving themselves work to do, that is for sure. Fabian | :05:29. | :05:38. | |
Cancellara coming up. It is a disappointing second set before him, | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
24 seconds in arrears. He has an awful lot of the rain way you | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
would've thought suits him best. Rohan Dennis is the fastest at this | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
point -- an awful lot of the reign. Castro of your home from Spain in | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
second fastest at the moment having gone through the 19.7 kilometres | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
checkpoint. Here comes Chris Froome, the last man on the road. Has he | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
managed to gain any time on those in front of him? No, he hasn't. It is a | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
browsing, he is still considerably down, 24 seconds down now. So it is | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
surprising. If anything, he has given away more time, quite | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
surprising. We have seen him pace rights before where he has been | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
careful on the first checks, but I would have thought he would get back | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
on terms now on holding his own. Rohan Dennis working hard, you can | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
see in the body language. Like Dennis, he is staying as far as | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
possible in the tucked position, even on the climbs, because there is | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
a strong crosswind off the Atlantic. Froome out of the saddle, deciding | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
to choose a position which lets him get the most power out rather than | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
stay in the middle. Phenomenal record he has got. Three-time winner | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
of the Tour de France, three-time winner, seven stages of the Tour de | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
France, umpteen days in the yellow jersey. He would like to get another | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
one before he retires. Four times world champion in this event. Fabian | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Cancellara has gone quicker than Rohan Dennis here. And Fabian | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
Cancellara, it seems, if that has right, has back loaded his effort | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
somewhat. What a turnaround, 24 seconds in arrears. And there is a | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
problem for Rohan Dennis and a change of bikes for the Australian. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Well, he was already looking difficult for him to retain his | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
hopes of a gold medal. And I would have to say that probably puts paid | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
to them. Tragic for him. I'm not sure what the problem was. Dumoulin | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
hasn't made up the same amount of ground, he has lost time, lost even | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
more time, and he is going to be fighting for a spot on the podium. | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
Oh, a broken handlebar seems to be the problem for Rohan Dennis. You | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
can see he is holding it in place himself, holding it in position. He | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
is losing ground, Froome. 48.30. That is the time of Fabian | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Cancellara, as you can see. It is not to be, it is not the case and | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
the strategy, it is all the indicators seem to be accurate, it | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
is a long time to hold form, three weeks. A few weeks before you get | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
here, it was a lot to ask. 32 seconds in arrears for Froome. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
Fourth place at the moment for Chris Froome as it stands. Here we go, | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
with Geraint Thomas. Intersite, up towards the line, a last-minute | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
addition to the Stalinist. A gutsy effort, as ever. We would expect | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
nothing less -- to the start list. Geraint Thomas is the new leader in | :08:54. | :08:54. | |
the clubhouse. Casco VSO on absolutely top form. A | :08:55. | :09:08. | |
final spurt towards the line -- the Spanish cyclist. One hour 13 minutes | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
and 21 seconds. Geraint Thomas now down into the silver position. | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
Fabian Cancellara is absolutely flying. 44.4 K. He will go faster | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
than anybody else on here, that's for sure. The Mulan, we're hearing, | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
is second on the road at the moment. 32 seconds in arrears -- Dumoulin. | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
Almost taking a Tombaugh there. Froome, the last of the favourites | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
to go through the 44 K check -- taking it humble. Third place, he is | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
ahead of Robin Dennis by about nine or ten seconds -- Rohan Dennis. This | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
final is going to be interesting, that's for sure. Here comes Rohan | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
Dennis now, the Australian who led during the early part of the race. | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
He had that problem, the bike change, the tribe are broke, the | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
quick bike change. It looks to me like his effort was excellent. The | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
problem with the bike is why he has a deficit of Chris Froome. But ten | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
seconds, if he wants to get on the podium. Fabian Cancellara knows the | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
finishing line is almost insight here. Is he about to become the | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
Olympic champion once again? There are others on the road behind him | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
but they have got a lot of ground to make up. A masterclass from one of | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
the graves of the sport, the four-time world champion has | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
produced, he could become the Olympic champion for the second time | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
in his career. It was a fantastic time trial masterclass. From Fabian | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
Cancellara. I think the edge has perhaps just | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
gone from his form, that is what it looks like. He is nearly a minute | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
behind Fabian Cancellara now. I don't think he is going to be | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
shifting from mature and until he goes to the podium. Sobel from that | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
chair. Dumoulin coming towards the finish line, eight superb ride from | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
the Dutchman. So a superb ride. He nearly crashed out of the Tour de | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
France, he made it to the start line, he has made it to the finish | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
and into the silver position. Tom Dumoulin, 47 seconds is than Fabian | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
Cancellara. Bronze goes to Spain, and Rohan Dennis Downs to four. All | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
that remains is for Chris Froome to cross the line and see whether he | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
can produce a ride in the final minutes that will propel him onto | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
the podium. We are looking back down the road for Froome, there he is. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
Chris Froome is not far behind him. The camera needs to be of him | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
shortly because Froome is a major player at the end of this phrase and | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
he will come round the corner any moment now. Nearly four minutes | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
back. Froome should be coming into the finishing straight. Here he is, | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
it is Chris Froome coming up towards the line. Is the effort good enough | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
to snatch the bronze medal as he crosses the line? It is bronze for | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Chris Froome. He has managed to get a medal here in the Olympic Games. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
It is bronze, just as it was four years ago. But he was outside the | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
medals, most of the way round there. But Chris Froome pulled it out in | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
the end. He really dug deep, and the reality of being Olympic champion | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
sinking in now. Max. -- for second max. | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
Just no words, I mean, finishing 60 metres, gold and silver, it's not | :12:42. | :12:51. | |
bad. I think if I had lost by maybe five or six seconds, that would have | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
been disappointing with myself. But I really, yet, Fabio was nearly the | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
strongest guy today. I gave it everything I had but I does didn't | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
have any more -- Fabbiano was really. Sir Chris Hoy is with us. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
Fabian Cancellara was clearly the strongest guy on what was a | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
gruelling course. Again, on a very difficult day. It was extremely | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
difficult. I think Fabian Cancellara clearly was the best man on the day, | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
as Chris said, if it had been a little bit closer he might have | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
kicked himself if it had been a handful of seconds. But if it was a | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
minute behind, he has got to be happy with his bronze. I think you | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
can see how happy everybody was, all the riders | :13:36. | :13:48. | |
were, for Fabian Cancellara to win on this, what a great way to finish, | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
you can see the emotion on his face when he realised he would be a | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
living champion. In Formula 1 obviously there are wet weather | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
tyres. Is there an equivalent for a road race bike or not close not | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
really, tyres have a slight thread on the outside for extra grip but it | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
is nothing like motorsport where you can have full wets went immediate. | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
You basically have the right with judgment, try and decide where you | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
can push it, where you have to back off. As long as you are straight and | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
upright when you are leaning over, that is where you have issues. You | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
have to avoid the painted lines in the wet. Wouldn't there be so much | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
skidding? Also, the surface on these roads, when they get wet the oil | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
comes to the surface. In foreign countries it is a warmer climate, | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
not like in the UK where the road have a different texture with the | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
tarmac. They are incredibly slippery, and particularly in the | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
women's race when it was very wet, when they came to the top of the | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
main climb and they turned to the steep descent, they were virtually | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
crawling. I was sure they were going to fall off, after the terrible | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
accidents in the road race that was clearly in the front of their mind. | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
A word of Chris Froome, he said that if he came a bit closer to Fabian | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Cancellara then he would have been disappointed, but he was beaten by | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
the best man? He was, I think he was in a league of his own today, Fabian | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
Cancellara, he was phenomenal. He has had great time trial | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
performances in the past. But perhaps, he is the second oldest guy | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
in the field, perhaps people were starting to count him out a little | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
bit, and look towards the Dutch rider and Chris and other | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
competitors. But he showed them that he is still the boss and what a way | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
to finish. Sur Chris Como thank you very much with learning us. You | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
mentioned the women's time trial, let's show you what happened. | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
Britain's Emma Pooley injuring a disappointing day. A race she had | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
targeted specifically, having returned to the sport from Troy | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
Arfon. She didn't find the conditions to her liking, and | :15:35. | :15:35. | |
ultimately finished 14th. Russia's Zabaleta sky, as the | :15:36. | :15:53. | |
remaining riders failed to beat her time, she thought she had done | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
enough to win gold, but she didn't reckon with the fight with Kristin | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
Armstrong of the USA, she hauled herself back into contention to | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
storm home and claim a record third successive Olympic time trial title, | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
flaking out on the floor before celebrating with her son Lucas. So, | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
a popular winner, and the Russian had the settle for silver. | :16:20. | :16:33. | |
Sir Chris Hoy is standing here in a T-shirt pretending it is not | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
freezing cold whereas I have borrowed the cameraman's jacket to | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
keep water! The Velodrome will be warm tomorrow, because that helps | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
with the speed. You predicted an hour opening ceremony showed that we | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
would have our best ever showing on the track. You said three golds for | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
Jason Kenny. I still think that is a possibility. Team sprint tomorrow, | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
that will be huge for the whole GB team. If they can start off with a | :16:59. | :17:08. | |
good start, it will set the tone for the whole week, and it is going to | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
be so tight. Having spoken to the other nations, the Germans have had | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
a problem, their main rider has a stomach complaint, they have brought | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
another rider in. The Australian women had a crash on the Velodrome. | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
For of them came down, so there has been a few problems for other | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
nations, and at this stage, it is about staying out of trouble. The | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
Brits are looking in good shape. It will be exciting when racing starts | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
tomorrow. A British gold medallist has arrived just over your shoulder. | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
Chris Mears is over there! We will talk to him in just a moment, but | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
let's deal with the men's would-be sevens first of all, and look at the | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
quarterfinal draw for this. Britain made it into the quarterfinals | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
courtesy of a 21-19 win over New Zealand, so that meant that New | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
Zealand ended up paying FIJI, and Britain, as they topped the group, | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
got a quarterfinal against Argentina, and this is what happened | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
just a little earlier on, with Eddie Butler and Clive Woodward your | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
commentators. Recycled by Argentina. Burgess has to make the tackle. | :18:23. | :18:33. | |
James Davis over the ball, and James Davis does it again with that | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
turnover, the penalty. The penalty to GP, just for a second | :18:37. | :18:49. | |
they looked a little isolated there. Tom Mitchell boot the ball off the | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
park, it is 0-0 at half-time. Tom Mitchell, and Daniel Bibby switches. | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
There is a possibility, Davis is outside here. James Davis, one | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
handoff, two hands off, Davis can't quite yet the balance, keeps the | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
ball in play. Went forward so close, just thought he was going to make | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
it, he has just lost his balance. It allowed the Argentinians to get the | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
territory here. Bennett has built it, and Argentina have knocked it | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
on. It will be scrum down, Argentina ball. And that could be yellow. | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Great Britain will be playing against sick for what is left of | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
this game. Daniel Bibby has gone forward on the high tackle. A | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
penalty, knock-on, and they could just kick for gold here. A penalty | :19:59. | :20:08. | |
awarded. This is to put his team in the semifinal. It has missed! Time | :20:09. | :20:23. | |
is up. 0-0, and we now go into sudden death. Quite simply, the | :20:24. | :20:38. | |
first team to score goes through. Watson can get to ground, penalty to | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
Great Britain, what do they'd do? Dropped the goal, go for it. Tom | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
Mitchell to win the game with the first point at sudden death, extra | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
time. , it has gone forward of Argentina. Great Britain get the | :20:59. | :21:09. | |
scrum. What drama. Bibby on the outside, Norton outside him. Yes! | :21:10. | :21:19. | |
The try that puts Great Britain into the semifinals. | :21:20. | :21:31. | |
So as you can see, there are the results of the quarterfinals, FIJI | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
beating New Zealand 12-7, Japan, what a rugby sevens they are having | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
for the men. And South Africa thrashing the Aussies 20 25, so it | :21:41. | :21:56. | |
means Fiji against Japan, and how on earth, given what we have seen so | :21:57. | :22:09. | |
far, how can it be 0-0 at full-time? The drama was amazing, the | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
conditions were really bad, and both teams became very tactical, but it | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
was an amazing game, and I have to say, I thought the team handled the | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
pressure really well. They just kept kicking the ball downfield, kept | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
putting on a good chases, and the Argentina player had a chance to win | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
the game with that kick, and he just pushed it wide, so you had to feel | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
fed him and the Argentina team, but they really kept their nerve, and | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
you heard from the commentary, we didn't keep our calm! It was amazing | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
score, and the scenes were just fantastic, and to see all the bench | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
running on was amazing. The 0-0 at full-time, this game will go down in | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
the history of rugby sevens, it was that good and that special. An | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
amazing place for that game, and just a word on Bibby, it shows the | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
value of having specialists in your rug we sevens squad, because he has | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
been playing sevens full-time for the last few years. There is a lot | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
of debate about the 15 aside players, whether they should be in | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
the seven aside team, it is a specialist sport, and the halfbacks, | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
Mitchell is just from me one of the outstanding players along with Cecil | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
Afrika from South Africa. Mitchell is a complete specialist sevens | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
player. He is one of the world's best players, and the 15 aside game | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
doesn't suit him. Bibby the same, such gifted players, they love the | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
game, the speed, the pace, it is very different, the whole game is | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
different, it brings in far more skills, aerobic capacity of the | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
players, and I think the game will move into the specialist sevens | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
players, because this is amazing, and the currency of winning an | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Olympic medal, where the bronze, silver or gold, is huge, and this is | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
one of the great days to be involved in rugby. We cannot wait for | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
tomorrow, it looks like you are the last man left in that stadium! Thank | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
you very much for staying, go and get that car you are pointing at. I | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
am pointing out the guy cutting the lawn, thanks for letting me stay | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
here! Thank you for talking to us, go and mow the lawn, we will talk to | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
you tomorrow. Those competing in indoor sports had | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
the best of it today. Before we talk to Chris Mears, and thank you for | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
coming along, we are just going to show you Max Whitlock picking up his | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
bronze medal in the all-around gymnastics, a fabulous performance | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
from him. Gucci Morra took the gold for Japan. But Max Whitlock finished | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
third, and therefore won a bronze medal, written is first in the | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
all-around gymnastics since 1908. It was a fabulous performance from Max | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
under huge amount of pressure, he came here desperate to win in this | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
comp addition, he still has pommel horse and floor to come, but this | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
did test all of his skills, and after his effort, after he received | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
his bronze medal, he spoke to David McDaid. | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
I'm sure you are aware you are the first British man in 180 years to | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
win a medal, how does it feel? It feels amazing after London 2012, the | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
target for me was to improve myself as an all-rounder, and I feel | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
complete in that target. I am so proud and happy for me and Scott, | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
and first and second place, Uchimura is my idol, I have grown up with | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
these gymnasts, he deserves it thoroughly. I was watching you | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
waiting for the scores to coming, prowling about like a caged lion. | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
What was going through your head? It was tough, they made a slight error | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
on floor, so it made it even closer, and bearing in mind I don't look at | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
scores on the way round, so I didn't know where I was placing, Scott Muir | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
and I didn't, so it was literally a waiting game, and to be standing | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
here with this medal feels amazing, it really does. Daniel Keatings has | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
been a team-mate of Max's for a long time, huge amount of British support | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
around here, and they have come because of the year of gold | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
medallists who will be talking the second. Sum up Max Whitlock's | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
achievement. Unbelievable, all the pressure was on him after claiming a | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
gold medal at the World Championships last year, he had | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
shaky qualifications, they came fourth in the team final, and to put | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
that behind him and get a medal was an amazing achievement, hats off to | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
him. The first for a very long time. 108 years, I think, we have managed | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
to get AGB guy on the podium, I have no words. And the improvement in | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
British gymnastics is amazing, but this is the first ever, ladies and | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
gentlemen, our Olympic jiving champion, Chris Mears! | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
CHEERING That is your proper introduction, we | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
didn't give you one before. That was pretty good, I enjoyed | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
that. Where is Jack? He is currently in doping. We couldn't get him | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
along, but hopefully he can pee quickly and we can get on with the | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
other stuff we have to do! It is more difficult for him because he | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
still has to compete, but you are completely done. I am done! Finish, | :27:35. | :27:42. | |
one event! Party time for you now? I will spur Jack, little, go to his | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
training sessions, see him through, and then when he is done it is my | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
turn. Plenty of places to party! There was a crucial moment in your | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
diving repertoire you introduce this new dive, very difficult. When you | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
and Jack were preparing to do it, you knew you had to get it spot on. | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
Yes, it is always tough when the pressure is on, and you are warming | :28:06. | :28:12. | |
up, you think, you are in the zone, and then you see the five rings, and | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
I feel like it does put it into reality what you are actually about | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
to do. As you can see from the video, I am criticising that admit, | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
I was a little bit forwards there, but I managed to put a good end on | :28:27. | :28:35. | |
it, and as you said, Clare, it is a new dive for us, I only learned it | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
last year, so to use it in our list competitively, that is amazing. You | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
say you only learned it last year. Who had the first conversation about | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
doing that dive? Where did that begin? Its bird from the World | :28:51. | :29:01. | |
Championships. We got bronze, so we qualified already, we did that first | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
opportunity out of two, so we knew we had already qualified, so we | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
thought, why don't we play bit and try learning a new dive so that we | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
had enough preparation time so we didn't have the pressure of | :29:16. | :29:18. | |
qualifying at the next event, we could just compete it. So the first | :29:19. | :29:24. | |
time we competed it was in February here in Rio, it wasn't a great, but | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
it went really well, and we knew we could impact, so we kept it in the | :29:30. | :29:38. | |
World Series. The other two we did really well, so we knew we could do | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
some damage with it if we used it correctly. And so lovely to be able | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
to do it with your best mate, so you both have one of these. If you take | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
a close look at this medal, there is something different about it, and | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
that is that on the edge engraved in it is the event in which it has been | :29:56. | :30:02. | |
won. What is lovely for you is that that is most definitely yours, that | :30:03. | :30:03. | |
is not the same as anybody else's. I just teared up instantly, and I | :30:04. | :30:21. | |
thought, I just can't believe this. Then it started to sink in when I | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
was on the podium, and I heard the national anthem, that was when I | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
thought I was going to go, but I held myself together! | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
Day four of four years ago was the day Britain got going, Bradley | :30:34. | :30:41. | |
Wiggins, Glover and standing as well, and yours got Great Britain | :30:42. | :30:47. | |
going. We are up that medal table, three gold, six silver, three | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
bronze, USA are top. That's it from us. A big cheer for our | :30:53. | :30:58. | |
gold-medallists. Plenty more live action coming up next. Good night! | :30:59. | :31:00. |
