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.
