Day 6 BBC Four: 16.00-19.00

:00:10. > :00:16.A real tap dance between both of them at that net. You wonder when

:00:17. > :00:22.they will start to increase the force and step back away from there.

:00:23. > :00:31.The angle gets tighter. A mistake made by Zhang.

:00:32. > :00:37.Power again comes right back, eight points from here, Vladimir Samsonov

:00:38. > :00:43.has to believe that he has the range to see this match through. By no

:00:44. > :00:59.means high and dry from here, just two points up. It shows just how

:01:00. > :01:14.quick it turns. Zhang with the serve. Time-out needed to be called

:01:15. > :01:19.now. Samsonov needs to discuss this one, this is where the match can go

:01:20. > :01:26.well away with you. Samsonov gets the net set -- next set, levelling

:01:27. > :01:31.it at one. Into the third game, at this stage here, if he nets it up

:01:32. > :01:38.and forced 2-0, that is a mountain to overcome. He knows it, that is

:01:39. > :01:53.why the time-out was called by the Belarussian. The defending singles

:01:54. > :02:03.gold medal champion, also a member of the team win as well. In London

:02:04. > :02:13.2012. This is his opportunity to go and return to the heat for the same

:02:14. > :02:16.singles title again in Rio. He needs to come up with an impressive

:02:17. > :02:32.service game in the remainder of this second set.

:02:33. > :02:42.Calm from Samsonov, in the end committee snatches at it. It floats

:02:43. > :02:55.into the netting. He's really going to have too scrapped now against his

:02:56. > :03:06.Chinese athlete for the second game. He does it, finds a way to get to

:03:07. > :03:11.nine first. Real critical points that will, no

:03:12. > :03:17.doubt, be part of the foreshadowing of the results to come in this one.

:03:18. > :03:33.Level at nine. APPLAUSE

:03:34. > :03:37.There comes the long clapping from the Chinese coach...

:03:38. > :03:50.It's not just to celebrate one point, but to cheer on his

:03:51. > :04:00.team-mate. Rather, his athlete. A bit of gamesmanship, I feel.

:04:01. > :04:11.Samsonov onto ten. He's an range of taking this second game.

:04:12. > :04:23.-- in range. His experience is proving effective.

:04:24. > :04:34.Zhang, however... Does not want to get into a long and drawn-out fight

:04:35. > :04:38.in this semifinal. He would love to take care of the second frame as

:04:39. > :04:51.well, and just keep things moving in a positive direction for him.

:04:52. > :04:59.Samsonov gets the rub of the table there, off the outside of the net

:05:00. > :05:03.setting, and then it hits the edge of the table. That was enough to

:05:04. > :05:18.disrupt the rhythm of the Chinese athlete, Zhang.

:05:19. > :05:27.Zhang, into the body. You get that Spain and power, he has been sitting

:05:28. > :05:32.behind in this second set -- Spain. He is now level. This is entirely

:05:33. > :05:44.where the business has to get done. -- spin.

:05:45. > :06:21.Zhang is in control. Game point on his side of the table.

:06:22. > :06:29.And it will be Zhang who takes the second game. He was pushed as deep

:06:30. > :06:34.as he wanted to be, he did not want to go any further than that against

:06:35. > :06:39.the Belarussian. Really, for Samsonov, it was an opportunity he

:06:40. > :06:43.let slip from his grasp. Samsonov had this second game within his

:06:44. > :06:49.sights, it was never, as I say, home and dry but my goodness, it was a

:06:50. > :06:51.battle here, attacking style versus a defensive approach, but he could

:06:52. > :07:11.not keep it on the table. It was the speed of Zhang that

:07:12. > :07:17.proves decisive. Zhang with both of these first games...

:07:18. > :07:24.We will leave it for a moment in this Men's Singles semifinal, with

:07:25. > :07:30.the Olympic champion leading 2-0 because we've had history made at

:07:31. > :07:34.the Olympic Golf Course. After 112 years, for the sport to be included

:07:35. > :07:40.in the Olympic programme, the first person to score a hole in one...

:07:41. > :07:45.Great Britain's Justin Rose. He did it on the par-3/4. There is the

:07:46. > :07:52.cheers and celebrations with his playing partners Vegas and

:07:53. > :07:57.Rickie?Fowler of America. Well played, Justin Rose off to a flyer

:07:58. > :08:04.at the Olympics. So, back to game three... At the table tennis. Let's

:08:05. > :08:08.join once again with the Olympic champion Zhang leading 2-0. Take a

:08:09. > :08:16.breather, we are back with the table tennis!

:08:17. > :08:36.COMMENTATOR: Out of the gates, Zhang, taking it on his serve.

:08:37. > :08:47.A strong return from Samsonov, you see him just acknowledging... Not

:08:48. > :08:56.entirely his intention. He got lucky and he knows it, but he will take

:08:57. > :08:58.it. Taking the lead now, with the ball

:08:59. > :09:16.going long off the netting. We have seen this story before.

:09:17. > :09:23.Samsonov gets out in front. Then, starts to really apply a squeeze,

:09:24. > :09:32.then Zhang seems to find a way of getting out of difficulty. It's not

:09:33. > :09:51.going to happen on that serve... That is a better game and a better

:09:52. > :10:04.set, or rather a better point, to increase the scoreline in this set.

:10:05. > :10:11.Zhang seems to be happy enough, he would prefer to be ahead but if he

:10:12. > :10:14.has to come from behind, is not particularly worried about that

:10:15. > :10:21.either. He has proven that in his second game. He finds himself aiming

:10:22. > :10:40.for the same tactic again in this one.

:10:41. > :10:49.The Belarussian again showing his experience, guile, range as well.

:10:50. > :10:54.Just keeping the pressure on and making Zhang have to be almost

:10:55. > :11:01.perfect to come back from the small and low gaps, and deficits in the

:11:02. > :11:05.scoreline. Samsonov goes for the winner, he let himself down, you can

:11:06. > :11:07.see the expression on his face. He needed better from himself, you did

:11:08. > :12:01.not deliver. -- he did not deliver. You can see what Samsonov's coach

:12:02. > :12:10.thinks of that... It just right along the top of the net, out of

:12:11. > :12:16.play. -- rides along the top of the net, out of play. The extended

:12:17. > :12:23.clapping again... You believe it is about just trying to control what

:12:24. > :12:25.the athletes are being influenced with. That positive reinforcement

:12:26. > :12:56.coming from the Chinese corner. It's a strong point, still on...

:12:57. > :13:00.Samsonov is happy to throw the sky dumps down on the far side, look at

:13:01. > :13:07.that from Samsonov! Are you kidding me? What do you'd about that? You

:13:08. > :13:14.smile and get ready for the next point. It was a rainbow, and at the

:13:15. > :13:43.end, he struck a slice of gold. Of the netting, once again Samsonov

:13:44. > :13:54.is flirting with taking a game in this match. He is not here to make

:13:55. > :13:59.up the numbers. This is not his... Just participating in the next

:14:00. > :14:05.Olympic Games, he wants to compete to go on. He has never meddled, he's

:14:06. > :14:09.got through in the fourth round, the quarterfinal round. This is as deep

:14:10. > :14:12.as he's ever gotten. At this stage right now, Samsonov is trying to

:14:13. > :14:29.take his moment. You see it, there. 9-7 is his

:14:30. > :14:36.advantage. Still smarting, I'm sure, from that second game. He thought it

:14:37. > :14:44.was something that he could finish, that business. In the end, Zhang

:14:45. > :14:52.took it from him. Now, he's on game point. You see the body language and

:14:53. > :15:03.it says it all, Samsonov hopping back and forth, write foot to left

:15:04. > :15:09.for tee. -- right foot to left foot. It is Zhang's point. Samsonov has to

:15:10. > :15:14.believe he has luck on his side, when he makes that shot, that

:15:15. > :15:18.exhibition type shot, and he sees it go off the outside of the netting,

:15:19. > :15:50.he thinks, maybe it is my time to get lucky in the third game?

:15:51. > :16:06.Again it is that game. But that game does not work twice. The crowd are

:16:07. > :16:10.getting engaged by this. They would really like to see Samsonov push on

:16:11. > :16:21.and increase and lengthened this match.

:16:22. > :16:31.That was snappy from Zhang. He is snappy. He find a way just when you

:16:32. > :16:45.think you are going to put it to him. He is already up with Adam and

:16:46. > :17:01.cooking in your kitchen. He levels it at ten.

:17:02. > :17:06.And he takes the lead again. Is he going to break the heart of the

:17:07. > :17:21.Belarussian? This would be cruel. It is not about

:17:22. > :17:27.feeling sorry nor sportsmanship. It is all about the win.

:17:28. > :17:40.That will be another win for Zhang. Against the ropes and he finds a way

:17:41. > :17:44.to jab and then the body blow. He takes out Vladimir Samsonov in that

:17:45. > :17:51.third game as well. They are pushed to extra points. This is the final

:17:52. > :17:58.one. It is just beyond Samsonov. He can hardly believe it. He is beside

:17:59. > :18:09.himself. But that is the way it looks so far. You would expect him

:18:10. > :18:14.to be on course to take it in the minimum number of sets required.

:18:15. > :18:26.Samsonov has kept a close in each one of these frames. They have all

:18:27. > :18:33.bean within two. There was a 20 stroke rally in that third game. But

:18:34. > :18:41.it is about getting a game to your credit. Unfortunately for Samsonov

:18:42. > :18:49.he has got to be wondering. Just look at those slivers of difference.

:18:50. > :18:50.There is not much in it. But at the right time Zhang has found the

:18:51. > :19:32.answers. Samsonov is going for another break

:19:33. > :19:39.to reset his thoughts in preparation for this fourth game. You would have

:19:40. > :19:45.to at this stage favour Zhang to try and close this out in the minimum

:19:46. > :19:50.number of games required, but Samsonov has been right there. When

:19:51. > :19:55.you are as close as he has been, you have got to believe he has got a

:19:56. > :20:00.little bit more in the bag to bring to the semifinal. It is not as if he

:20:01. > :20:05.has played poorly by any stretch. Just Zhang has got that killer

:20:06. > :20:07.instinct about him. At those junctures he has been able to take

:20:08. > :20:23.control. It is the furthest that Samsonov has

:20:24. > :20:38.been in the six Olympics that he has played. And that one gets away. That

:20:39. > :20:41.is a career that takes us all the way back to Atlanta 1996. And here

:20:42. > :21:09.he is, 20 years on. And this from Zhang is forceful and

:21:10. > :21:15.aggressive and it is his tempo. Both of the Chinese competitors have that

:21:16. > :21:27.same sort of tempo. They are both taught by the same coach, so you

:21:28. > :21:46.would expect it. Zhang, but he could not control the return.

:21:47. > :21:54.Samsonov still believe in, celebrating that point. Elated that

:21:55. > :22:03.he has been able to bring it back within one.

:22:04. > :22:13.It is level at three. This is a different story the way this

:22:14. > :22:18.particular game is shaping up. Samsonov was in the league and he

:22:19. > :22:35.had it taken away from him. The reverse is true in this game.

:22:36. > :22:50.Samsonov enjoys the misfits. Zhang wants to assess what he has seen. He

:22:51. > :22:58.would see it as the scene of the crime, that mishit. There is another

:22:59. > :23:10.one unfortunately. He is pacing it off. He is back ready. Mentally

:23:11. > :23:15.tough. That is what it has to take to win in these tight, tense

:23:16. > :23:47.moments. Samsonov allowed a loose forehand. It keeps it close.

:23:48. > :24:19.Oh, Zhang. You are just not sure how he is going to come up with it. In

:24:20. > :24:26.those moments he has got to bring the best he can.

:24:27. > :24:43.Oh, from Samsonov, a little bit of the twisting shot. It fell inside

:24:44. > :24:45.and out. There it is, off the table. A little bit of sharp shooting from

:24:46. > :25:04.the veteran. He has found himself at eight. And

:25:05. > :25:08.Zhang, who has been coming from behind, is tiring as well. That is

:25:09. > :25:17.mentally taxing, to always be chasing the match. He has got too

:25:18. > :25:19.much pressure right now it seems. The Belarussian is on the cusp of

:25:20. > :25:34.taking the game. And there are as quick as that it

:25:35. > :25:41.turns. This next service game is crucial.

:25:42. > :26:00.Samsonov is poised. He has been on his perch a couple of times, but

:26:01. > :26:10.Zhang has come and knocked him off it. And it will be a game victory

:26:11. > :26:15.for Samsonov. How do you like that? He stays on course. There is still a

:26:16. > :26:20.mountain of work to try and overcome from those earlier games, but the

:26:21. > :26:28.fourth game goes to the 40-year-old veteran of table tennis. He now sits

:26:29. > :26:31.on both sides of the table. He plays it and he governs it. Right now he

:26:32. > :26:39.is in the thick of a semifinal. Right now he is in the

:26:40. > :27:14.thick of a semifinal. Samsonov answer was strong. That was

:27:15. > :27:21.the difference in that affair. 11-6 he wins it, Samsonov. Some mis-hits

:27:22. > :27:28.from Zhang that we had not seen prior to this.

:27:29. > :27:46.They are back on business and it will be Zhang to serve.

:27:47. > :27:53.It is like he is fly fishing and he just snapped his line around. I am

:27:54. > :27:54.not sure if he contact with the backhand or the forehand when he

:27:55. > :28:07.finally touches the ball. It is just on the backhand. Both

:28:08. > :28:27.have scored in this fifth game. Samsonov's expression says it all.

:28:28. > :28:55.He is not impressed. Zhang is all of a sudden

:28:56. > :29:12.rejuvenated. You see and hear him as he was in the early stages.

:29:13. > :29:23.And this right now feels as though Zhang is totally pressing his game

:29:24. > :29:47.plan on Samsonov. Samsonov really is struggling to do much about it.

:29:48. > :29:55.That was the lob action and that will be smashed to glory from Zhang.

:29:56. > :30:07.He saw that story before. He did not enjoy the read. He elects to say, if

:30:08. > :30:22.you go down that route, I will smash it.

:30:23. > :30:28.The net touch, just preventing that from touching down. You see that

:30:29. > :30:35.long look from Samsonov, he is frustrated, no doubt. And the

:30:36. > :30:41.casting of the eye from the Belarussian coach. It almost feels

:30:42. > :30:49.as though they... Sense what is coming.

:30:50. > :30:58.And Zhang just gets away, he is wondering... Just appealing to the

:30:59. > :31:04.umpire, to his coaching staff, just electing for a time-out. I think

:31:05. > :31:13.they will have a chance to make certain that this is the five game

:31:14. > :31:18.that will be played. Just chatting about it now, 6-2, Zhang is up in

:31:19. > :31:25.this fifth game. Looks to be in firm control. Wanting to assert that and

:31:26. > :31:28.get reassurance from his coach, I think, as much as anything. See if

:31:29. > :31:36.he can drive this match and drive his position into the gold-medal

:31:37. > :31:40.match that awaits, already got his team-mate there waiting and whether

:31:41. > :31:45.or not he can join them is yet to be determined. Samsonov hoping to be

:31:46. > :32:33.the man standing in the way. This is a point... It feels...

:32:34. > :32:39.Samsonov comes right back! And he will steal it. It was quite a simple

:32:40. > :32:44.response in the end. It looks as though Zhang run out of ideas as to

:32:45. > :32:49.how he wanted to approach it, and Samsonov kept it simple. Simple is

:32:50. > :33:04.sometimes better. It's all about execution, he's got it down.

:33:05. > :33:13.Just catches the netting. But it leaves the table. That is not the

:33:14. > :33:25.way Zhang wanted to return to action. Living the first -- giving

:33:26. > :33:31.up the first two points up in play. Zhang with enough spin on it, for

:33:32. > :33:51.the Samsonov short, the return goes right into the net.

:33:52. > :33:59.Zhang has just increased his margin. Samsonov, frustrated. He believes in

:34:00. > :34:04.his game and of course he should. He thought he would be able to measure

:34:05. > :34:13.that response, you see it come off his racket, perhaps catching his

:34:14. > :34:25.index finger there, either way, it does not get the table on Zhang's

:34:26. > :34:26.side of the net. The net, again, takes

:34:27. > :35:04.Samsonov, here's a. Years... -- he is a fighter, he is resilient and

:35:05. > :35:06.tough. He has seen a lot, in his sixth Olympic Games, he has seen

:35:07. > :35:24.them come, he has seen them go. Oh, Samsonov! He has a long look

:35:25. > :35:29.back at it. Just showing that he has not decided to pack his bags just

:35:30. > :35:34.yet. That is absolutely perfect, in the corner. Oh, Samsonov, where does

:35:35. > :35:56.this match go now? It is heavy, both sides are right

:35:57. > :36:02.into it. This is... Oh, Samsonov. What happened there? Unbelievable

:36:03. > :36:08.point. He picked that one out of the very back, and puts it back on

:36:09. > :36:13.Zhang's side of the table. I don't entirely know how that point

:36:14. > :36:19.finished, can you believe it? Samsonov, right down, comes under.

:36:20. > :36:24.It looked as though it was deep into the rhubarb. And he finds a way to

:36:25. > :36:39.get it back and keeps himself in this game.

:36:40. > :36:51.It just does touch. Zhang is now on match point, ten points to seven.

:36:52. > :36:59.And he says, forget the theatre, forget the drama. I'm just here to

:37:00. > :37:05.take my place in a gold medal final. This is serve.

:37:06. > :37:17.He's gone wrong, keys going to have to wait -- he is going to have to

:37:18. > :37:29.wait. Not so fast, young man, he says.

:37:30. > :37:50.Nine minutes deep already in this fifth game. It is one shot away for

:37:51. > :37:54.Zhang. Samsonov! He is still only one shot away, is Zhang, but he has

:37:55. > :38:02.a big Belarussian breathing down his neck. And he does not want to leave

:38:03. > :38:12.his shoulder now. In fact, he wants to get right up beside them.

:38:13. > :38:20.That is the way it's going to finish. Less traumatic than maybe

:38:21. > :38:26.you would expect... But Zhang of China will go through to the

:38:27. > :38:30.gold-medal match, and what a moment of Olympic brilliance and blood may

:38:31. > :38:37.Samsonov. In his sixth Olympic Games, he has come through and got

:38:38. > :38:42.to the semi final round and will still contest for the bronze medal

:38:43. > :38:50.-- Vladimir Samsonov. That man there makes it an all Chinese gold-medal

:38:51. > :38:56.match in the singles table tennis. ORE: And just like that, the Olympic

:38:57. > :39:00.champion is into another final, taking on his countrymen, Ma Long,

:39:01. > :39:08.in the final tonight at around 1:30am. What an incredible display,

:40:51. > :40:57.medallist, was about to make her way into the Olympic Arena, is it today?

:40:58. > :41:06.The fans want to know. Yes, 6:24pm precisely to let me give some

:41:07. > :41:11.background on to this horse, it's the biggest horse in the dressage

:41:12. > :41:15.competition, but to use coal's words, it's a big cause with the

:41:16. > :41:19.heart of a small mouse. At the European Championships last year, a

:41:20. > :41:24.waiter dropped a tray of glasses and the horse freaked out, reared up,

:41:25. > :41:29.fell over, landed on top of Carl. He knows how spooky the horse can be.

:41:30. > :41:34.He was here at 6am this morning to try and have a bit of time with the

:41:35. > :41:38.horse, to show him the arena. The wind has been swelling and we can

:41:39. > :41:43.hear the Olympic Shooting Centre, there is a lot going on, he wanted

:41:44. > :41:48.to make sure that Barney, as he is known in the stable, was calm coming

:41:49. > :41:54.into the test. Have a look at what happened to...

:41:55. > :42:01.Carl Hester, number three rider for Britain. Defending Olympic gold

:42:02. > :42:09.which this man was such an inspirational part of, Carl Hester

:42:10. > :42:16.with Nip Tuck. A scary moment before he went in, as Carl was passing the

:42:17. > :42:25.judges. A big camera between the judges.

:42:26. > :42:40.And a high back form. Settled in the arena now.

:42:41. > :43:10.A good change, very supple. The riders like upright in the line

:43:11. > :43:24.ahead. Crashed into the rails a little there. 8.5 for some of these.

:43:25. > :43:31.The average marks at the moment, the leader is Dorothy Schneider who

:43:32. > :43:37.scored, Higgins got 89.6. Her percentage marks at this stage in

:43:38. > :43:48.the test that Carl is out now, she had 82. Nip Tuck and Carl, 74,

:43:49. > :43:49.nearly 75%. Not the most expressive extended trot, keeping it regular

:43:50. > :44:13.and even. Getting 7.5s...

:44:14. > :44:21.A real spook, he crashed into the rails. But he's recovered. Such an

:44:22. > :44:31.incredible man on the back of any horse. Nip Tuck feeling very sharp

:44:32. > :44:39.in the arena. Carl, covering up and coping with any problems that

:44:40. > :44:49.happen. That was an interesting one. Gave him some fours, 6.5, 7.5.

:44:50. > :44:55.One wonders whether the JSP could be the judges supervisory panel could

:44:56. > :45:02.look at that, there are fours and eights in that set of marks. That's

:45:03. > :45:07.their job, they are there to make sure that the judges keep accurate

:45:08. > :45:12.and sometimes the judges missed something, if they are concentrating

:45:13. > :45:16.on the quality of the work. It's necessary, they notice everything.

:45:17. > :45:25.In the JSP, it is their job to fix that. And the spooks that Nip Tuck

:45:26. > :45:33.gave, I could not see anything outside of the ring to cause it.

:45:34. > :45:53.He is often very sharp and spooky this horse.

:45:54. > :46:04.The changes are good and very straight. He will get a few more

:46:05. > :46:12.aids now. Some leeway to make up after that mistake. Beginning to

:46:13. > :46:40.improve, that he has been back down into the 72s and 73s.

:46:41. > :46:53.Very subtle both ways. Clear change of Bend, clear change of angle. We

:46:54. > :46:53.could do with some nines to compensate for that spooky

:46:54. > :47:09.beginning. These horses have all worked in this

:47:10. > :47:14.arena, but it is completely different when they are working as a

:47:15. > :47:20.team. There are four courses in the arena as opposed to coming in on

:47:21. > :47:23.your own with a big crowd. Good balance and rhythm in the pirouette.

:47:24. > :47:46.Now we are back up into 8.5s. The average is creeping up into 75%,

:47:47. > :47:55.76%. Always difficult to recover as soon as you get a mistake and the

:47:56. > :48:06.marks come down to four. Covering more ground in the extended trot

:48:07. > :48:13.that time. And beautifully into the passage.

:48:14. > :48:47.Straight. Lots of aids. APPLAUSE

:48:48. > :48:53.This horse has always inspired Carl Hester. How much improvement there

:48:54. > :49:00.has been over the years. Quite boozy out there. Whether it caused that I

:49:01. > :49:09.do not know. My goodness, he pulled it back. It will be good and into

:49:10. > :49:18.the 70s, but still behind Dorothy Schneiderlin of Germany. The

:49:19. > :49:27.cameraman in between the judge, as soon as he finished the test he spun

:49:28. > :49:47.the camera around to look at the crowds and Nip Tuck did a big spook

:49:48. > :49:52.in the arena. Nothing obvious. But Carl kept as cool as a cucumber. He

:49:53. > :49:56.certainly has rescued it, but by how much? You can see the horse's

:49:57. > :50:11.quarters lowering. It is always difficult when the

:50:12. > :50:17.judges go down a mark to be brave enough to come back up. They should

:50:18. > :50:21.be able to do that. They should be able to give two for a bad movement

:50:22. > :50:32.and move up to nine or ten if it is warranted. And he goes fifth. We

:50:33. > :50:38.have got the biggest horse, but maybe not the bravest commie he was

:50:39. > :50:41.unlucky to get that spooky. I caught him out at the beginning. It was

:50:42. > :50:46.something ridiculous like a flower that probably moved him and he

:50:47. > :50:51.caught it out of the corner of his eye and he hit the boards and that

:50:52. > :50:55.put him off guard. However, I appreciate he is like that and I am

:50:56. > :51:00.ready for him and he did it very quickly today and caught me at a

:51:01. > :51:05.fraction. But he got going today and once we got into a counter he

:51:06. > :51:11.relaxed. He is capable of big points. He is 3% of his best score.

:51:12. > :51:16.That is understandable because I did not have the best ride, but I am

:51:17. > :51:20.hoping it will settle them down for tomorrow. It leaves us in a good

:51:21. > :51:26.position team wise at the moment. So, it is frustrating, but it is not

:51:27. > :51:31.too disappointing. After that little moment you composed him and as the

:51:32. > :51:37.test progressed you settle into it and there were some lovely moves at

:51:38. > :51:43.the end. Kantor is his forte. Whoever devised a dressage test and

:51:44. > :51:50.put Kantor towards the end of it! He was error-free in all the work and

:51:51. > :51:54.there were some double marks in there and he did the zigzag and the

:51:55. > :51:59.pair were really nicely. They are in the middle of the arena and he is

:52:00. > :52:04.not affected. It is different when it is going around the edge.

:52:05. > :52:08.Tomorrow I will have to get him under control for that. Tomorrow I

:52:09. > :52:14.will get him out here and look at everything. Spent as much time in

:52:15. > :52:18.the arena as possible between now and the test. This is supposed to be

:52:19. > :52:22.horse friendly and we are trying to encourage everyone to have the best

:52:23. > :52:27.advantage and it is greatly organising committee give us ten

:52:28. > :52:31.minutes on your own in the morning or with a few other riders to

:52:32. > :52:35.acclimatise them for the day ahead and I will be up again at five

:52:36. > :52:40.o'clock tomorrow morning to do the same thing again for tomorrow's

:52:41. > :52:45.test. Not much that Carl Hester could do about that. He is one of

:52:46. > :52:49.the best dressage riders in the world and his involvement with the

:52:50. > :52:57.British team cannot be overstated. He competes and he also trains Fiona

:52:58. > :53:02.Bigwood, Charlotte Dujardin and Spencer Wilton's chorus. He is the

:53:03. > :53:08.linchpin of British dressage, not just here but back in the UK as

:53:09. > :53:13.well. I mentioned Charlotte and Valegro. She has broken all the

:53:14. > :53:18.world record, she is the world champion, the European champion, the

:53:19. > :53:21.Olympic champion, and we can see them at 6:24pm tonight and you can

:53:22. > :53:27.keep the head of that on the Red Button.

:53:28. > :53:32.The Great Britain Equestrian team have a very good thing going on and

:53:33. > :53:36.from horses dancing lightly on their hooves to the heavyweight categories

:53:37. > :53:40.of the Tudor. Great Britain have already got one medal, Sally

:53:41. > :53:46.Conway's bronze went in the 70 kilograms category yesterday. So

:53:47. > :53:58.what can Ben Fletcher do? He is taking on one of the shining lights

:53:59. > :54:05.of the sport. He is taking on a Georgian in the Carioca arena. This

:54:06. > :54:14.is the busiest I have seen it, maybe they are all heading in there to see

:54:15. > :54:23.them go head to head. We go to Mark Doran and Neal Adams.

:54:24. > :54:35.And Fletcher did brilliantly to qualify for this. They will all be

:54:36. > :54:44.buried by the television watching him. The Georgian is a revelation.

:54:45. > :54:48.He was kicked out of the team at the 90 kilograms, so he decided to go up

:54:49. > :54:54.a weight category. His country did not want him to do it. But he said

:54:55. > :55:02.he wanted to do it and he has beaten everybody in the category. He is the

:55:03. > :55:14.man on form. But Ben Fletcher will make it very difficult for him. The

:55:15. > :55:22.Georgian has got great pick-ups. Fletcher will know that and he will

:55:23. > :55:23.have done his homework. He is making it very difficult, he cannot get his

:55:24. > :55:56.grip. We have seen big fighters going out.

:55:57. > :55:57.Not fighting as well as they could because of the pressure of the

:55:58. > :56:31.Olympic Games and what it means. And Fletcher is making him do

:56:32. > :56:37.everything here. Gviniashvili is getting frustrated. That is one of

:56:38. > :56:41.the best things he could do here, Ben Fletcher, just be as awkward as

:56:42. > :56:47.he can. Every time he feels danger he has to attack. Sometimes when

:56:48. > :56:52.Gviniashvili is behind or in trouble he starts to panic a bit. But, and I

:56:53. > :57:00.have to say this, he is always dangerous. He is an massive thrower

:57:01. > :57:08.and when it happens, it happens. Not finding the balance here and Ben

:57:09. > :57:14.Fletcher is doing a great job. Ben Fletcher has got to take the fight a

:57:15. > :57:18.little bit to Gviniashvili. He is behind on attacks. He needs to get

:57:19. > :57:25.scores on the board. Fletcher comes forwards. A big arm over the back.

:57:26. > :57:36.It is so typical of the Georgians. They like to get that right arm over

:57:37. > :57:40.the back. With Larry is scored. And directly into the hold down.

:57:41. > :57:48.Gviniashvili is holding and Ben Fletcher struggles and a need. That

:57:49. > :57:49.big arm over the top and you can see the determination on Gviniashvili's

:57:50. > :58:05.face. As the seconds ticked up it went

:58:06. > :58:09.through a yuko score and then it was a wazari and then another wazari to

:58:10. > :58:14.add to the one scored from the throw. He only needed that 50

:58:15. > :58:22.seconds to hold him down to get the win. It was imposing. We talked

:58:23. > :58:36.about his form coming in, ranked 13th in the world. But better than

:58:37. > :58:44.that despite his young age. We can look at what he has got there, the

:58:45. > :58:48.man in white, the Georgian. We will see him again and we might see him

:58:49. > :58:54.deep into this Olympic tournament. I think we will. The Georgian coach

:58:55. > :59:00.said, should I put him into the higher weight category? I said, I

:59:01. > :59:05.would. The Olympic experience is so important. Massive hips. He had hold

:59:06. > :59:14.right the way over, almost onto the belt. Then he just takes Fletcher

:59:15. > :59:22.over into a scarf hold. You can see why. He holds him there for 15

:59:23. > :59:29.seconds to get the second wazari. Credit to Fletcher, he kept him out

:59:30. > :59:34.for some time, but in the end he had to succumb.

:59:35. > :59:39.We told you he was good, Beka Gviniashvili of Georgia, two times

:59:40. > :59:45.Junior world champion. He goes through at the expense of Britain's

:59:46. > :59:50.Ben Fletcher. Commiserations to him. But next up we have Natalie Powell

:59:51. > :59:56.taking to the nap, the first ever Welsh woman to represent Great

:59:57. > :00:02.Britain and she is the Commonwealth silver medallist. Let's see if Great

:00:03. > :00:10.Britain's judo fortunes can go up one. She was picked in this team

:00:11. > :00:27.ahead of the London silver medallist.

:00:28. > :00:32.It was Janet Gibbons who beat Tcheumeo in the final. Now she will

:00:33. > :00:49.have something to say and she will want to prove something here.

:00:50. > :00:57.Natalie Powell has to take her. Put her under pressure, she is going to

:00:58. > :01:05.get penalised for that, just dropping to her knees. It was so

:01:06. > :01:07.blatant. Just needs to keep a strong stance, she is left-handed and can

:01:08. > :01:17.cause Audrey Tcheumeo all sorts of

:01:18. > :01:23.problems. Trying to get her hips across, she has two B first in. At

:01:24. > :01:32.the moment, it is Tcheumeo, almost scoring again. She says she is

:01:33. > :01:35.obsessed with the Olympics, and becomes the first Welsh lady to

:01:36. > :01:42.compete in the due date here. She has picked up all sorts of records,

:01:43. > :01:45.but her achievements today, including a common law of games

:01:46. > :01:53.title, already she will be a bronze medal -- medallist back in London am

:01:54. > :02:00.aware I'm sure she was watching carefully. Putting it back in her

:02:01. > :02:05.hair, the French lady. 26 years old. She was a junior coming through when

:02:06. > :02:08.I was in charge of the Welsh team. So I've done quite a bit of work

:02:09. > :02:16.with Natalie when she was younger, but she is now working very closely

:02:17. > :02:23.with Darren Warner, who is one of my ex-students. Looking at what

:02:24. > :02:30.happened to her, it was amazing. She was doing incredible things for

:02:31. > :02:37.Great Britain. Now, Tcheumeo coming on to her. And putting her under

:02:38. > :02:46.pressure with the foot sweeps. Natalie Powell is going to have to

:02:47. > :02:51.start to be first in. Tcheumeo started at the Olympics slowly,

:02:52. > :02:58.first round... Natalie Powell comes forward, she means business!

:02:59. > :03:03.Throwing the left hand over. Tcheumeo knows it, she tries to pin

:03:04. > :03:10.it and catch her on the move, Tcheumeo, left against right

:03:11. > :03:13.situation. Tcheumeo almost gets caught, now what will happen? Going

:03:14. > :03:18.into the attack on the ground. She needs to get her leg out, not

:03:19. > :03:22.renowned for her ground work, Tcheumeo. She does not really want

:03:23. > :03:32.to go down there. She is not confident or comfortable. The

:03:33. > :03:38.defensive move was good, but she let herself vulnerable. Tcheumeo unable

:03:39. > :03:43.to capitalise, the coach has plenty to say. There is blood coming from

:03:44. > :03:49.her mouth, I thought she was doubled over with a soft tissue injury. She

:03:50. > :03:54.has had some contact to the face and blood from the mouth. So she must

:03:55. > :03:59.leave the mat, come all the way. The doctor is not allowed onto the mat.

:04:00. > :04:07.He will hopefully patched things up. -- patched

:04:08. > :04:12.. Let's see how this unfolds. I think

:04:13. > :04:19.that what could happen now is Audrey Tcheumeo will feel she has got to

:04:20. > :04:24.open up now. It will be interesting, she will not like fighting with that

:04:25. > :04:31.on. She knows that with it on... With it off, and more blood, she has

:04:32. > :04:35.a chance of the contest going to Powell. She must be careful with

:04:36. > :04:41.what she does. One minute 40 seconds cannot go quick enough, but Tcheumeo

:04:42. > :04:44.is number two in the world, against Natalie Powell of Great Britain, a

:04:45. > :04:53.place in the Olympic final at stake for these two. Same technique there.

:04:54. > :04:58.That's like, when it is starting to come across Powell, she is the one

:04:59. > :05:03.attacking, Powell has not attacked much at the moment. Powell has too

:05:04. > :05:16.tried to beat her. Definitely Tcheumeo winning the grip fight. It

:05:17. > :05:19.is Powell who is trying to get across the same technique that she

:05:20. > :05:27.scored in the first round, not quite happening. Tcheumeo comes forward.

:05:28. > :05:31.Just over one minute ago, if she can get through this, it means that she

:05:32. > :05:35.can get somebody to have a look at it and dress it up properly, that

:05:36. > :05:42.injury, whatever has happened. Something to do with the mouth. In

:05:43. > :05:46.preliminary rounds and medal matches, she has come back fighting.

:05:47. > :05:51.She just has to get through, that is the task at hand. A good hold, she

:05:52. > :05:58.had a good hold of Natalie Powell but could not convert, as has been

:05:59. > :06:02.the case for Audrey. She does not want to get a penalty against

:06:03. > :06:06.Tcheumeo, forcing it to golden score time, allowing more time, if you

:06:07. > :06:14.like, for that mouth to cause more damage. It's up to Natalie Powell of

:06:15. > :06:22.Great Britain. Now two against her. But more importantly... That is

:06:23. > :06:28.almost a score there. Again she is dominating, Tcheumeo dominating the

:06:29. > :06:35.grips, stopping power from getting her left hand over the back or over

:06:36. > :06:40.the top. Tcheumeo doing everything right from a tactical point of view,

:06:41. > :06:44.doing it really right. We have seen her fall apart tactically on

:06:45. > :06:50.occasions but not this time. She is doing what she should be doing,

:06:51. > :06:54.attacking at the right time. Not stepping out the area, she has been

:06:55. > :06:59.bad on the area, I have to say. She has made stupid mistakes and

:07:00. > :07:04.juvenile mistakes but that is because of her lack of experience

:07:05. > :07:11.and the fact she started judo late. That's her excuse. Ing outside of

:07:12. > :07:15.the area. But doing well here. -- and stepping outside of the area.

:07:16. > :07:19.Ten seconds to go, Natalie Powell comes forward and Tcheumeo defence.

:07:20. > :07:28.A quick look at the clock, it is going to be all over, Tcheumeo has

:07:29. > :07:34.to stand her ground. A good tactic for her. She is going to go through

:07:35. > :07:40.to the semifinal. Natalie Powell does not get thrown, it is just two

:07:41. > :07:44.penalties. Tcheumeo does not like that wrapped around her chin,

:07:45. > :07:47.obviously. From a psychological point of view, I thought it would

:07:48. > :07:51.make a difference but it has not done. She did well and stood her

:07:52. > :07:55.ground, Natalie Powell was still coming forwards. She will now have

:07:56. > :08:03.to go down and fight in the final repechage match to see a she will be

:08:04. > :08:07.fighting for bronze. ORE: A really unhappy Natalie Powell

:08:08. > :08:11.missing out in the quarterfinal, but it is not over for the Welsh woman

:08:12. > :08:15.because she can still come away with a bronze medal, she will progress

:08:16. > :08:22.into the repechage, not over just yet for Natalie Powell.

:08:23. > :08:24.He on BBC Four, we were hoping to show you some badminton this

:08:25. > :08:33.afternoon, Great Britain were going in the women's doubles,

:08:34. > :08:37.but there has been a 90 minute delay over at the Badminton hall, so if

:08:38. > :08:41.you want to follow it, keep abreast of things on the BBC sport website

:08:42. > :08:46.and the app, we are hoping to see badminton any time soon, that's the

:08:47. > :08:50.place to go if you want to check out Great Britain's badminton players.

:08:51. > :08:55.All five of the British entries will be in action. Here in the park, we

:08:56. > :09:01.are on the other side of the queue. Look at this guy with his headset,

:09:02. > :09:08.it is something special. Gabriel, give us a wave! Looking fantastic.

:09:09. > :09:15.The Brazilian fans out in force on day six over here. Taking their time

:09:16. > :09:19.to catch a glimpse of the Olympic rings over there. We will bring you

:09:20. > :09:24.up to date with the golf, because we saw Justin Rose getting the first

:09:25. > :09:34.hole in one of the Olympic Golf Course and, didn't we? That was on

:09:35. > :09:39.the par three... Par-4 3rd round. He is leading the way, Marcus Fraser of

:09:40. > :09:49.Australia. Leading by three shots after his first round. Justin Rose

:09:50. > :09:53.five shots off the lead, a few holes to come. Now on BBC Four, we are

:09:54. > :10:00.going to head into the shimmering silver building there, the Olympic

:10:01. > :10:05.Centre, four more gold medals up for grabs tonight, including a showdown

:10:06. > :10:11.between Michael locked and Michael Phelps, but British swimmers this

:10:12. > :10:14.afternoon, we have Helen and the team.

:10:15. > :10:17.I love coming in and seeing you guys, not because you are wonderful

:10:18. > :10:21.human beings but you bring us medals!

:10:22. > :10:26.We are ticking boxes right, left and centre! It's all going on at the

:10:27. > :10:30.pool. Plenty of Brits in action, Justin Rose, he came to see us the

:10:31. > :10:39.other day, at the top of his game. So excited to be in the Gulf, have

:10:40. > :10:44.you checked in with him? Yes, he's learned a lot. -- golf. I saw him

:10:45. > :10:48.get a hole in one and saw him celebrating. I had something to do

:10:49. > :10:53.with that! We've given him a lot of confidence this week. We will jump

:10:54. > :10:58.on anybody's court! In today's heats, the first event is the

:10:59. > :11:07.50-metre freestyle. First up for Great Britain is Ben Proud.

:11:08. > :11:12.FUNKY MUSIC I grew up in Malaysia. I lived there

:11:13. > :11:17.from five months old and I was 16. I enjoyed being in the water, I was

:11:18. > :11:18.swimming from a young age. I did not have the background a normal athlete

:11:19. > :11:23.would have. I was the youngest on my school

:11:24. > :11:26.team. At 16, driving home with my mum after getting a record in

:11:27. > :11:34.Malaysia, I said, this is something I read you want to pursue.

:11:35. > :11:37.By chance, one of the teachers told me about this opportunity. It looked

:11:38. > :11:42.like the best opportunity for me. You looked at him and went... He has

:11:43. > :11:47.ability and talent, you could see how quick he was in the first part

:11:48. > :11:52.of the race. How did you rebuild? He is like a drop volley hovercraft, in

:11:53. > :11:56.terms of being on land, he is all over the place -- trough on a

:11:57. > :12:01.hovercraft. It was hilarious watching him in the gym at first,

:12:02. > :12:05.his coordination was pretty bad. Three years after first joining

:12:06. > :12:06.here, you were Commonwealth champion, and then you got one of

:12:07. > :12:15.the first -- fastest times in the world. Yes.

:12:16. > :12:23.I did not mess about. Has he got him? He has! Gold, 50-metre

:12:24. > :12:26.freestyle, Ben Proud, England. At the Commonwealth Games I did not

:12:27. > :12:29.know what to expect, I was saying to everyone, I was expecting to make

:12:30. > :12:35.the Olympic 's this year, and go learn and do as well as I did. It

:12:36. > :12:39.was a massive relief, leaving my friends and family back in Malaysia,

:12:40. > :12:45.to start this new life, it made it worthwhile. Over the years, I saw

:12:46. > :12:53.gym work helped me a lot in the water. It helps massively. Being a

:12:54. > :13:00.sprinter, there's only so much you can do in the water in a 22nd race.

:13:01. > :13:08.In the last few years, Jim has become a massive part of training --

:13:09. > :13:15.20 second race. Still got it! Who is your main rival? Florence has taken

:13:16. > :13:22.the world by storm over the past four years. He is a big guy, strong

:13:23. > :13:26.in the gym and powerful on the water. He has definitely set a

:13:27. > :13:31.benchmark for everyone doing a similar thing. I have seen how you

:13:32. > :13:35.start, if you can be near him at the start, no reason why you can't be

:13:36. > :13:38.near him or ahead at the end. Yes, we are trying to make sure I'm in

:13:39. > :13:43.the best physical shape I can be and be as strong as I can. And keeping

:13:44. > :13:52.some Masson to keep that transition into diving as smooth as possible --

:13:53. > :13:57.mass on. What are your chances, poolside? Being a 50 metres runner,

:13:58. > :14:04.the chances are all over the place. You can be a medal contender and

:14:05. > :14:08.finish last, or finish last and come first. Anything can happen. Stay

:14:09. > :14:10.composed until you touch the wall. I've learned a lot in the time I've

:14:11. > :14:23.been here. How important is strength in this

:14:24. > :14:31.event? It is kind of everything! All right! Harsh! It is and it isn't.

:14:32. > :14:36.Can be a body-builder -- you can be a body-builder, it's about having

:14:37. > :14:38.your strength and using it. If you don't have a feel, you can't use

:14:39. > :14:43.that extra strength. You don't want to get bigger and

:14:44. > :14:46.stocky as it gets you resistance. These boys are pulling themselves

:14:47. > :14:53.along, and pulling themselves out the water. There's no in the air,

:14:54. > :14:57.they are trying to almost skate across the surface of the water.

:14:58. > :15:01.It's interesting to see what he did in the gym, all that work he was

:15:02. > :15:06.doing is relative to what he was doing. He was putting on a lot of

:15:07. > :15:15.muscle. You did it just the once there. I've still got it! Yes, you

:15:16. > :15:23.have! Thanks! Your event, do you ever miss it? Yes. I get to 25

:15:24. > :15:26.metres. I would have won a lot of Olympic medals... I had a great

:15:27. > :15:42.start. I do not have the stamina. Has this been his focus? He said

:15:43. > :15:45.that himself, tweeted after the 100 metres, saying he would be back

:15:46. > :15:50.Thursday in good shape, this is what he would be focusing on. He looks in

:15:51. > :15:55.amazing shape, physically looking at him. I want Ben to have a bit more

:15:56. > :16:00.confidence. Especially over the 50 metres, they walk out Tour, you have

:16:01. > :16:06.do have a tiny bit of, not arrogance, but believe -- call. You

:16:07. > :16:11.want him to have more belief and confidence. He has sacrificed a lot

:16:12. > :16:15.to follow his dreams, good luck Ben Proud, he goes in heated tent. Let's

:16:16. > :16:29.join the 50-metre freestyle in heat eight. -- heat ten.

:16:30. > :16:36.The Chinese is world champion in the 100 metres freestyle. He missed the

:16:37. > :16:43.final. That was shocking, that was awful. They are asking for complete

:16:44. > :16:55.silence from the crowd for the start. It is very important in the

:16:56. > :17:01.50 metres. We are going to need low 22s, even at 21 to make the final.

:17:02. > :17:07.Shocking start in six, but pretty good in seven. He got a bronze medal

:17:08. > :17:15.in Athens. He is going very well for Trinidad and Tobago in seven.

:17:16. > :17:32.Goodness me, that was close. The Chinese got it. It is going to be

:17:33. > :17:38.hundredths of a second to get into this final. You are right, it is

:17:39. > :17:44.going to be very quick. The start is critical. And the finishing. The bit

:17:45. > :18:00.in between is pretty important as well!

:18:01. > :18:08.Kneeing was fifth, that is not great. Muscovites should have won

:18:09. > :18:20.the freestyle by a country mile and got seventh.

:18:21. > :18:34.It wasn't hyped up enough for me, he was very calm. He has trained in the

:18:35. > :18:54.States and has lived in the States since 15 or 16, the Russian.

:18:55. > :19:07.Heat number nine of 11 of this 50 metres freestyle. A very good start

:19:08. > :19:12.from the South African in lane six. McEvoy of Australia is in lane four.

:19:13. > :19:27.We have not seen him breathe yet. A very fast turnover. McEvoy gets it.

:19:28. > :19:36.There were four swimmers under 22, Andy. McEvoy did a lot better. A

:19:37. > :19:46.great start, good reactions, straight off the block. They all

:19:47. > :19:59.went to the wall and it is on pressure. Pressure on the pads.

:20:00. > :20:17.Under 22 seconds and you will be in the semi. Ben Proud of Great Britain

:20:18. > :20:33.goes in heat number ten. There is Nathan Adrian. There is Anthony

:20:34. > :20:42.Oban. He has got a gold medal in this event. Ben Proud needs to get

:20:43. > :20:52.it all right from the minute the gun goes.

:20:53. > :21:00.Ben Proud with the Red Hat of Great Britain was the last to go down and

:21:01. > :21:03.he has had a spectacular start. Mark Foster says you have got to have a

:21:04. > :21:13.great start and his start was superb. It looks like Nathan maybe,

:21:14. > :21:36.Nathan Adrian. Ben Proud was third equal. Five guys

:21:37. > :21:41.below 22. Good stuff from Ben Proud. He is brewed to the semifinal

:21:42. > :21:45.tonight, pretty sure of that. Great reaction off the block and he was

:21:46. > :22:01.leading up to 35 metres and then ominously Nathan Adrian came back.

:22:02. > :22:09.Ben Proud faded ever so slightly. Good swim, job done. Semifinal

:22:10. > :22:16.tonight. The defending Olympic champion, Florent Manaudou, those in

:22:17. > :22:24.lane four. Will they be able to keep the crowd quiet for this one?

:22:25. > :22:26.DeFreitas was fourth in London. I think he has got a good chance of a

:22:27. > :22:57.medal tomorrow night. Duarte is in the Black cap. The

:22:58. > :22:59.final heat of the 50 metres freestyle at the Olympic Games. Ben

:23:00. > :23:19.Proud has done the job so far. The Ukrainian has also had a very

:23:20. > :23:23.good start. He is flying. His first 25 is outstanding. Florent Manaudou

:23:24. > :23:33.is bashing a little bit. I am sure he will get through, though. From

:23:34. > :23:41.his start up to 25 metres he left them dead. That was brilliant. We

:23:42. > :23:49.knew he would be one to content with and he was calm and collected at the

:23:50. > :24:06.end. Wow. The two Brazilians have got very different techniques.

:24:07. > :24:16.Govorov at this point was going away from Florent Manaudou. He had a good

:24:17. > :24:23.start, but his first stroke propelled him forwards. So it's very

:24:24. > :24:35.important to get that propulsion forward. Confirmation of results of

:24:36. > :24:44.the final heats. Govorov won it very impressively. I am sure the

:24:45. > :25:01.Brazilians will get through. Ben Proud is seventh equal. There are

:25:02. > :25:09.some very big guys in there. Very good swim, job done for Ben Proud

:25:10. > :25:14.and he is talking to Sharon. Job done, it is often about who does not

:25:15. > :25:20.make mistakes. Yes, definitely. With the 50 no one can take it easily. It

:25:21. > :25:25.is so fast. I am happy with that. It was blowing off cobwebs from the

:25:26. > :25:30.100th. It is nice to do the 50 because it is my favourite event.

:25:31. > :25:35.What does it feel when you come out of the start and you know you have

:25:36. > :25:40.got it right and you are a stroke in front? It is amazing, that is where

:25:41. > :25:45.my strength is and that is where I do my races. It was not even my best

:25:46. > :25:56.start. But I went straight down and worked my way to the surface. But I

:25:57. > :26:04.am into the semifinals. We were talking about Anthony Erwin and his

:26:05. > :26:15.age. What you are expecting to be in the top eight? Yes, he is a bit of a

:26:16. > :26:18.legend. It is nice coming into this because those people have been

:26:19. > :26:20.racing with each other for tens of years and it is good to be part of

:26:21. > :26:31.it. We will see you later on. Great to hear from him, but

:26:32. > :26:34.elsewhere on the Internet there is an interview done by his

:26:35. > :26:39.grandfather, so if you have some free time, check that out. Ben

:26:40. > :26:43.Proud, we talk about how strong he is, how have you seen him change?

:26:44. > :26:49.Physically his body has changed a lot. Historically you swim up and

:26:50. > :26:54.down a swimming pool and conditioning is now such a big part

:26:55. > :26:59.of swimming, especially in the sprint event. Also when you sit in

:27:00. > :27:07.the water you can use your power a lot more. He was in a very big heat

:27:08. > :27:13.with very good swimmers. Those guys were on good form and he took it to

:27:14. > :27:18.them. His start was blistering. Talk me through the start. So often

:27:19. > :27:24.arrays can be won at the start. What is so good about his start? He has

:27:25. > :27:28.got an unbelievable reaction to the gun. It is the transition and the

:27:29. > :27:34.power he gets off the block. He enters the water at the right angle.

:27:35. > :27:38.When you go in at the right angle, you should go forward. If you hit it

:27:39. > :27:45.flat, you do not get the same elevation. Then you use the

:27:46. > :27:52.underwater kicking and you pop up 12 edges ahead, which is the difference

:27:53. > :28:00.sometimes. Florent Manaudou is a great starter as well. It will be

:28:01. > :28:05.0.2 of a second that separates the top nine and that is enough time to

:28:06. > :28:12.do it. You can only be underwater for a certain amount of metres. You

:28:13. > :28:16.lose momentum. You enter and you build on the momentum, but it does

:28:17. > :28:22.die off when you come towards the surface and you want to be out

:28:23. > :28:31.there. The guys want to come up and you cannot rest in the heats.

:28:32. > :28:39.Especially for 50 metres. It is literally splash and --. Their

:28:40. > :28:47.strength is just so impressive. The water move an insane amount. It is

:28:48. > :28:51.like a wave pool, it is ridiculous. And you have seen exactly the same

:28:52. > :28:55.thing with Adam Peaty, both of them are young, teenage boys, quite lean

:28:56. > :29:00.and over the past few years they have become these huge animals and

:29:01. > :29:08.they have grown so much. Both of them are very tall and that is an

:29:09. > :29:12.advantage. But Ben Proud's back is just so strong. He has been working

:29:13. > :29:17.on that and that is why he has been focusing on the 50 metres. You saw

:29:18. > :29:21.in the BDO everything that he has been working on, getting the finish

:29:22. > :29:29.and the technique right. He does not breathe either. None of them

:29:30. > :29:35.breathe. I know it sounds silly, but it is 21 seconds. But you do that in

:29:36. > :29:43.training as well, practising holding your breath for a few minutes, so

:29:44. > :29:48.that 21 seconds becomes easy. If you fill your lungs full of error, what

:29:49. > :29:53.happens? You float. Every time you breathe you are sinking and floating

:29:54. > :29:57.and sinking and floating. You are talking about fractions, but when it

:29:58. > :30:02.comes down to a hundredth of a second, that is important. We will

:30:03. > :30:10.see him in the semifinals and we will see Jazz Carlin going in the

:30:11. > :30:14.heats in a while. We are going to golf very shortly.

:30:15. > :30:19.For the first time this afternoon there is nobody in front of the

:30:20. > :30:23.Olympic rings. The queue is absolutely massive and nobody has

:30:24. > :30:28.decided to take the opportunity to get themselves a quick picture. For

:30:29. > :30:34.that reason... Let's do it together, we are live on television. You do

:30:35. > :30:38.not get the chance to take a selfie often live on television. I think we

:30:39. > :30:52.are getting booed. Here we go. That's how you jump the queue.

:30:53. > :30:57.Sorry, it's all yours! I had to take the opportunity, a lot of people

:30:58. > :31:01.have been waiting a long time. This is a popular spot. After making a

:31:02. > :31:06.cute friends over the last five or six days, I've just lost every

:31:07. > :31:13.single one of them! Let's go back to the pool, with Helen, Mark and

:31:14. > :31:18.Rebecca. Now, the golf, and on BBC Four, things got underway in the

:31:19. > :31:22.men's competition, Marcus Fraser of Australia was leading things. Justin

:31:23. > :31:27.Rose bagged a hole in one, that has not happened for at least 112 years!

:31:28. > :31:34.Alan walkins and 20 locker talks us through round one... -- plane.

:31:35. > :31:47.COMMENTATOR: 539 metres. We have seen some beaming shots. A couple of

:31:48. > :31:51.greens... I wonder if it is the wind or he is striking everything so

:31:52. > :32:01.cleanly and crisply, he is getting extra yardage. Bubba Watson, leaving

:32:02. > :32:07.this for birdie... In the bunker for one, just lobbed it out for a

:32:08. > :32:11.second. A decent gallery watching this particular three ball, as you

:32:12. > :32:19.would expect. Martin Kaymer, Bubba Watson. An abandoned Lahiri is the

:32:20. > :32:27.third member of the group. Be good to Bubba Watson... -- Anirban

:32:28. > :32:47.Lahiri. It has been a story on the greens today. He has missed out.

:32:48. > :32:58.Vegas drove it in the water at ten... This is his fourth shot on

:32:59. > :33:08.the par-5 10th. None of that left for par. If anyone needs a birdie,

:33:09. > :33:17.it is India's Anirban Lahiri. On 16, he is for Rover. That is not done to

:33:18. > :33:23.happen either -- four over. If you put together a collection of the

:33:24. > :33:27.players reactions after the putts have gone past, you would have a

:33:28. > :33:37.nice video of Bill will demand. A lengthy video! --

:33:38. > :33:43.being bewildered. Starring down 18, the par-5 18th, 518 metres, it is

:33:44. > :34:03.very reachable. The wind is helping on 18. The wind

:34:04. > :34:11.is right behind them, as it is on 17, the two holes facing completely

:34:12. > :34:16.downwind. Danny Willett looking to get there in two, but there is a

:34:17. > :34:27.run-up before the green on 18. Matt?Kuchar on 1-under.

:34:28. > :34:35.That is pretty good, bullet straight as well from the American. Flying

:34:36. > :34:39.that first bunker, you need a good 260 carry to get over the first,

:34:40. > :34:48.then you have a fair landing area, as long as you keep it slightly

:34:49. > :34:49.left... Then you have shots of less than 200 into the 18. From the

:34:50. > :35:08.Philip -- Philippines, Miguel Tabuena. How

:35:09. > :35:12.about this? Just about agriculture 21 years old. A lot of good golfers

:35:13. > :35:19.come from the Philippines, he is one of them. -- just about 21 years old.

:35:20. > :35:27.This is a par putt for Martin Kaymer, to stay at 3-under. He too

:35:28. > :35:34.drops a shot, he is at 2-under. A pity for him, he was on a roll

:35:35. > :35:39.looking to get things together. Out in 32, four birdies on the way out.

:35:40. > :35:47.Just one coming back. He was 5-under through ten. Now, three shots back

:35:48. > :35:54.since going 5-under. The fourth shot to the tenth... A birdie putt for

:35:55. > :35:58.Justin Rose. A big swing... Started it a little too wide. That will

:35:59. > :36:19.settle for a par on ten. Sergio Garcia for his par per ahead

:36:20. > :36:25.on 12. -- up ahead. It is so important he makes this, he feels he

:36:26. > :36:35.will have momentum coming home... It's just slides by, his first drop

:36:36. > :36:43.shot on the back nine. Anirban Lahiri at 17... Martin Kaymer,

:36:44. > :36:51.Watson and Anirban Lahiri all struggling at 16. One of the

:36:52. > :36:54.respective scoring holes, at 17. Anirban Lahiri works it over the

:36:55. > :37:01.bunker. Put sitting behind Bubba Watson at 17. Such a powerful hitter

:37:02. > :37:04.of the golf ball. With a lob wedge in his hands.

:37:05. > :37:07.Certainly nothing more than a gap wedge.

:37:08. > :37:18.-- puts it in. A few golfers have struggled with

:37:19. > :37:26.this on 17, taking it out and bringing it back towards the ball.

:37:27. > :37:33.Bubba Watson sets up a fine birdie opportunity, relatively flat from

:37:34. > :37:39.that angle. Martin Kaymer, the third player in the three ball with

:37:40. > :37:58.Anirban Lahiri, Watson... The big German. In fact, birdies on

:37:59. > :37:59.17 from... Mattia Manor Cerro. -- Matteo Manassero.

:38:00. > :38:10.This is a tricky par-3, with the wind as it is. Bubba Watson will be

:38:11. > :38:14.happiest, most pleased with his tee shot, he got it right. Matteo

:38:15. > :38:23.Manassero's birdie was fantastic, he had driven the 16 in the green, and

:38:24. > :38:30.three putted, after the tee shot at 17, he would have felt he at least

:38:31. > :38:41.deserved that putt. Dreamy bawdy at 15...

:38:42. > :38:50.-- Bourdy. Moving up to 4-under. Matt?Kuchar, with the wind behind

:38:51. > :39:19.him. Second to the finishing holes. It stays down below the hole. It

:39:20. > :39:27.rolls back there. If you go straight for the pin, there is a real hollow,

:39:28. > :39:40.if you come in on the left-hand side, it is a bit flatter. Li

:39:41. > :39:48.Haotong, 21 years old, ridiculously talented chinaman.

:39:49. > :39:56.Trying to catch it cleanly off the sand... Draws it out to left. Could

:39:57. > :40:02.not get a decent cake, does not get it right to the green. Slows away

:40:03. > :40:10.again. In fact, from the slope, not a bad angle to approach. -- get a

:40:11. > :40:22.decent cake. It was a decent miss. Danny Willett, you would have

:40:23. > :40:36.learned from those two. 256 yards to the hole. If you are going to go

:40:37. > :40:40.long, you have to go right on this screen, going short, you have to go

:40:41. > :40:47.left. -- this queen. Most players end up

:40:48. > :40:51.short. Right in that little pocket. Like a pocket on a snooker table,

:40:52. > :40:57.everything levitates towards the hollow there.

:40:58. > :41:01.Martin Kaymer with a birdie chance on 17. First you putt with this

:41:02. > :41:14.group. -- first to putt with this group.

:41:15. > :41:22.He has a misread. He thought that there was a break. Looks over to his

:41:23. > :41:30.caddy, as if to suggest, where was the break? A strong wind would have

:41:31. > :41:38.been making the left-to-right... Henrik Stenson, four under. On the

:41:39. > :41:46.front nine. 31, he went out in. Starting his back nine, and lovely!

:41:47. > :41:58.Some appreciative applause from the gallery for Henrik Stenson. That

:41:59. > :42:18.going to 5-under through ten. 17. Anirban Lahiri. For a birdie.

:42:19. > :42:29.So, it's not happening for Anirban Lahiri.

:42:30. > :42:39.Marco linen, fourth shot to 16... And it stays out, it hits the bin,

:42:40. > :42:47.hits the ball, somehow manages to stay out -- Mikko Ilonen. Mikko

:42:48. > :42:54.Ilonen... Gosh, how does that happen? To actually visit the hole,

:42:55. > :43:12.pay a visit, and then stay out at the back of it. Second to the par-3

:43:13. > :43:25.17th for Bubba Watson. He has had so many long stairs at the holes on

:43:26. > :43:29.this golf course. This three ball down in the hollow in front of the

:43:30. > :43:41.green. Li Haotong of China goes first. Third shot, a bump and run.

:43:42. > :43:46.Nicely played. Very nicely judged. They are all down on the right. You

:43:47. > :43:50.can see how steeply the bank is, going straight down. You can get up

:43:51. > :43:58.but if you don't get on the green, you go all the way back down again.

:43:59. > :44:01.If you landed in the middle of the green, you are in danger of going

:44:02. > :44:11.where Patrick Harrington did, which is way over the back will

:44:12. > :44:26.-- way over the back. Just running six or seven feet past. A little

:44:27. > :44:35.competition among the competition here. Can Matt Kuchar get inside of

:44:36. > :44:38.the ball of Li Haotong? We seem different techniques here, Marcus

:44:39. > :44:44.Fraser knocked it all the way up along the bank. He made a birdie at

:44:45. > :44:49.the last, so he too did Graham DeLaet, and Thomas Pieters. A good

:44:50. > :45:18.mix between pitching and putting. Matt Kuchar, hoping to go with the

:45:19. > :45:23.64 degrees. Three bogeys on the card. Three, four birdies. He gets

:45:24. > :45:42.this close... And he could make his fourth.

:45:43. > :45:52.That is not far away! He judged the pace very nicely. A smile on the

:45:53. > :46:02.face of Matt Kuchar. He knows that is close enough for a birdie. Close

:46:03. > :46:15.enough to be an eagle as well. Back on the 18th. Bubba Watson is waiting

:46:16. > :46:18.for it to be reset. A few people have been taking photographs. We

:46:19. > :46:31.have had a few resets on the way. Bubba Watson gets some serious

:46:32. > :46:44.movement on the ball. He does. That is a very long way. If he started

:46:45. > :46:49.hitting the ball more straight, how little he would move in the air in

:46:50. > :46:52.terms of distance. It is measured as the crow flies. When he does hit it

:46:53. > :47:08.straight, it is well over 400 yards. Going straight and skirting the left

:47:09. > :47:14.side. He has played a dangerous game and has caught the wasteland. He

:47:15. > :47:18.knows what this stuff is all about because he was in it at 16. This is

:47:19. > :47:33.Danny Willett to finish with a birdie.

:47:34. > :47:56.He might have a few sleepless hours tonight. Par at the last.

:47:57. > :48:21.a 70 four Li Haotong. Matt Kuchar to go better. He rolled it in

:48:22. > :48:27.comfortably. He had his trouble out on the golf course with his first

:48:28. > :48:30.birdie coming at eight on the par-3. He had a horrible bogey at five and

:48:31. > :48:54.he moves to 2-under. Danny Willett with a 71. 69 for Matt

:48:55. > :49:03.Kuchar. This is Thongchai Jaidee at ten.

:49:04. > :49:16.He has got a wonderful touch. Two players from Thailand in the field.

:49:17. > :49:28.Aphibarnrat is the other player, Kiradech Aphibarnrat.

:49:29. > :49:43.That was nicely done. The golf course has been well populated with

:49:44. > :49:51.good galleries today, the Olympic golf course. Marcus Fraser really

:49:52. > :50:22.enjoyed himself, the Australian. 8-under par.

:50:23. > :50:41.Dan Silver hit the first ball of the tournament.

:50:42. > :50:45.Rickie Fowler and Bubba Watson are struggling, but it is four rounds of

:50:46. > :51:04.golf. Jaco van Zyl, the 37-year-old, he

:51:05. > :51:08.gets the distance just about perfect. He will have a chance of a

:51:09. > :51:29.birdie at 17. Sergio Garcia flies it in close. It

:51:30. > :51:36.skipped out to the right. He got an unkind bounds. He is due a couple of

:51:37. > :51:42.birdies. This is the problem is short for Martin Kaymer. You saw on

:51:43. > :51:52.16 he had a sand wedge to try and get out of this stuff and he came up

:51:53. > :51:53.short. He has got a flat lie, so he is not looking forward too much

:51:54. > :52:10.elevation. A lot of these areas on the golf

:52:11. > :52:19.course are just wasteland, Marshland. It is a real engineering

:52:20. > :52:22.feat. This wonderful golf course has been built on this land. Martin

:52:23. > :52:52.Kaymer is part of it now. Oh, look at this. Wonderful. Oh,

:52:53. > :52:56.that is unfair! By getting on the green, if you are coming in on the

:52:57. > :53:03.left-hand side, which is what Martin Kaymer has done, it is great

:53:04. > :53:08.contact. His back foot slides away in that very soft waste sand.

:53:09. > :53:10.Unfortunately the ball has run on the green over the back into the

:53:11. > :53:24.bunker. That was very well done, it stays

:53:25. > :53:39.there, that is OK. He has got an eagle putt. Now it is Bubba Watson.

:53:40. > :53:49.To clarify, he likes playing that slice off the tee. There are a few

:53:50. > :53:51.slices out there that are not intentional. He gets a few wrong

:53:52. > :54:04.every now and then. He does not like this at all. That

:54:05. > :54:17.is going way out to the left as well. It might trickle in. It will.

:54:18. > :54:22.Otherwise he will be standing so high over the ball if it does not

:54:23. > :54:26.trickle into the bunker. Let's go back to the 17th, this is David

:54:27. > :54:40.Hearn the Canadian with a birdie putt.

:54:41. > :54:50.He is 12 shots back from the leader. 12 shots in one round of golf. Well

:54:51. > :55:09.done. It is a great feeling when you can

:55:10. > :55:17.take the stroke and marched towards the hole. At 11 Justin Rose is

:55:18. > :55:22.looking for a birdie. After the excitement of the hole-in-1 he has

:55:23. > :55:35.managed to hold on just at 3-under. He needs something. Yes, he needs to

:55:36. > :55:52.find something. Sergio Garcia, a birdie putt on 13.

:55:53. > :56:00.So, Jacko Van Zyl. It is just about pin high, slightly right. A birdie

:56:01. > :56:11.putt. He takes the path. Justin Rose for

:56:12. > :56:43.his part on the 11th. He stays at 3-under. It all happen

:56:44. > :56:49.for Justin Rose on the 3rd hole. He made birdie. Justin Rose looking

:56:50. > :56:56.like he is enjoying the Olympic course. He has had a really good

:56:57. > :57:07.day. We will tell you why, because here are the headlines so far on

:57:08. > :57:11.basics. Day six. It is medal number five for Katherine Grainger, she won

:57:12. > :57:17.a silver in the women's double sculls alongside Vicki Thornley just

:57:18. > :57:26.behind the Polish pair. Third place in the semifinal for David Florence

:57:27. > :57:30.and Richard Hounslow in the canoe slalom after the great gold for Joe

:57:31. > :57:38.Clarke. Can they do the same in the final tonight? I told you what a

:57:39. > :57:47.great day it was for Justin Rose. How about this? A hole-in-1. You

:57:48. > :57:50.wait 100 years for a golf tournament at the Olympics and Justin Rose

:57:51. > :57:55.knows exactly what to do. How about that?

:57:56. > :58:05.They are doing well at the golf course, but we are doing really well

:58:06. > :58:10.in the Aquatics Centre, Helen. You join us in the women's 800 metre

:58:11. > :58:20.freestyle heats and we have already seen cameo had to sleep, but we are

:58:21. > :58:29.getting ready for another lady who is starting her campaign. I am going

:58:30. > :58:35.there to be on the podium, I am doing everything I can. She is

:58:36. > :58:40.starting to swim great. All these years of training, the hours and the

:58:41. > :58:49.early mornings, they are for this moment in Rio. I am going to give it

:58:50. > :58:54.absolutely everything. If I get up on the podium, that will be great. A

:58:55. > :59:01.wonderful silver medal for Great Britain. In 2011 I found out I had

:59:02. > :59:06.glandular fever and it was a tough time and I was so close to hanging

:59:07. > :59:12.my gobbles up. But that is what sport is like, it tests you and that

:59:13. > :59:15.is what you have to do, overcome the lows to appreciate the highs and

:59:16. > :59:23.have all the good times throughout the sport. Now she is a truly

:59:24. > :59:29.world-class swimmer. Sometimes I take myself too seriously and I can

:59:30. > :59:33.be really hard on myself. I think to appreciate everything and especially

:59:34. > :59:37.this year, since it is the Olympic year, I have been quite stressed and

:59:38. > :59:43.I put a lot of pressure on myself really. It is because I have wanted

:59:44. > :59:46.it so much for so long, but it is just swimming and sport and

:59:47. > :59:51.something I love to do and since I was a young girl I loved being in

:59:52. > :59:53.the pool and racing, so I have to capture that feeling again and have

:59:54. > :00:02.that enjoyment back in my training. I will make sure I do everything and

:00:03. > :00:06.have no regrets. I will give 110% in all I have done and I will have no

:00:07. > :00:11.regrets and can walk away from the pool knowing I have given

:00:12. > :00:16.everything. She looks in great form in 800, walking away with the

:00:17. > :00:21.silver. How do you rate her chances you? Bell she got the silver in the

:00:22. > :00:27.400. It is one of those that with Jazz, she was a 400 swimmer, then

:00:28. > :00:30.the 800. She gave such a good time in the 800, we thought she was an

:00:31. > :00:34.eight under. She has been looking better on a 400 and gone back to

:00:35. > :00:38.that. She can do both and it is amazing when you are on form, when

:00:39. > :00:44.you are on your own as an athlete, we know she is in good form, but she

:00:45. > :00:49.has done better in the 400 than the 800. It is the opposite to me.

:00:50. > :00:54.Everyone said 800 was my better event, but I think the 400 was more

:00:55. > :00:58.suited to Jaz. This isn't as much pressure as the 400 and she can just

:00:59. > :01:01.go in, enjoy this and tried to make it through. Does that affect you

:01:02. > :01:07.when people say you are better at that, do you take it on board? A

:01:08. > :01:12.little bit. Jaz has always been good at is that Woodford, 400, 800. She's

:01:13. > :01:17.never specifically been miles better at one than the other, which I was.

:01:18. > :01:24.Jaz can do all three. She can get a medal in this event. It is all about

:01:25. > :01:29.making it through to the final tomorrow. Katie Ledecky goes in the

:01:30. > :01:34.middle here. Ever dominant. She is seconds ahead of everybody in the

:01:35. > :01:38.800. She will be in this heat. Katie does not back off. She's whims very

:01:39. > :01:43.quickly. Whether she's tired and chooses to ease up, I don't know.

:01:44. > :01:48.But Jaz, she is used to racing her, used to being next to. She got the

:01:49. > :02:01.silver in a 400 because she stuck to her own own race plan. Thank you,

:02:02. > :02:08.Helen. Jaz in five. The European champion in six, but Katie Ledecky,

:02:09. > :02:17.three golds and a silver. Difficult to see past her in this one. She has

:02:18. > :02:20.one job. To the final heat of the women's 800 metre freestyle. Katie

:02:21. > :02:26.Ledecky the superstar for the states in the centre in the white hat of

:02:27. > :02:35.the USA. Started already very fast. In two, Sarah Kohler, of Germany,

:02:36. > :02:48.she is going ahead of Katie Ledecky. Does she realise? All four women,

:02:49. > :02:56.two to five, over within hundredths of a second. It doesn't stop there,

:02:57. > :03:00.it is 800 metres, not 50. It is interesting, we have seen a number

:03:01. > :03:08.of heats. This is the fourth of the 800. The previous heats had one or

:03:09. > :03:13.two outstanding swimmers, but five of the top seven in the world are

:03:14. > :03:17.here in this one. This is a lot quicker. I would not be surprised if

:03:18. > :03:23.a few of the swimmers here qualify for the final. Katie Ledecky is

:03:24. > :03:29.going to do her job. Her job might include a world record. It has not

:03:30. > :03:34.been unknown that Kohler goes for big swings in the early heats. She

:03:35. > :03:37.did that in the World Championships in the 1500 metres. She broke the

:03:38. > :03:41.world record in the heats and then again in the final. I was sitting

:03:42. > :03:44.here this morning with copy, thinking, what kind of tactics would

:03:45. > :03:49.I employ? I think this is it for her now. She has just this heat of the

:03:50. > :03:55.800 freestyle and then the final tomorrow night. For someone who is a

:03:56. > :03:59.really big distance freestyle to have just two left... I wonder if

:04:00. > :04:03.she will get divorced and had and then push a bit. We will have to see

:04:04. > :04:12.how she goes. Going well at the moment, Jazz Carlin of -- Guzman

:04:13. > :04:20.Colin of Great Britain. One simple job to do this morning for Jaz, make

:04:21. > :04:24.that final. It is interesting, it looks like Jaz has got under the

:04:25. > :04:32.feet of Ledecky, trying not to slip back with the following group. She

:04:33. > :04:43.will swing her own splits. Ledecky swimming about 60, 61.7. Yes, 61.6,

:04:44. > :04:54.61.7. When she broke the world record, she was on 61.4s for each of

:04:55. > :05:03.the 100th. -- 100s. 58.82 on the first hundred for the world record.

:05:04. > :05:09.61.4, 61.4, 61.4, 59.3. When we say metronome, we mean that. She is at

:05:10. > :05:13.61.7s now. Jaz in that awkward position in between the leader and

:05:14. > :05:17.the trailing group. Slightly awkward, but she is looking very

:05:18. > :05:22.good. If she can just ignore the fact that Ledecky is so good and is

:05:23. > :05:28.out there. She has a cracking chance of doing something pretty good. She

:05:29. > :05:32.is just outside Rebecca Adlington's British record, which is

:05:33. > :05:36.interesting. 0.7 seconds, wouldn't that be something? She is right on

:05:37. > :05:49.it. I think that's Becky's time, let's look at that. 3.5 zero. 0.7

:05:50. > :05:53.seconds behind. Ledecky is off the world record pace. She would be

:05:54. > :06:03.going quicker than this if she were trying for it. She is doing a warm

:06:04. > :06:15.up swim. Very quick. Ledecky leading for the USA. Look at the stroke of

:06:16. > :06:20.Ledecky, beautiful. We talk a lot at this Olympics about everything in

:06:21. > :06:24.one line. The alignment of the stroke, all the effort making you go

:06:25. > :06:28.forwards. A little butterfly kick, not the greatest butterfly kick, but

:06:29. > :06:34.the efficiency of it is just superb. Absolutely. It is interesting, we

:06:35. > :06:40.talk about how great Ledecky is. Two brilliant men's swimmers, Michael

:06:41. > :06:45.Phelps, Ryan Lochte. She has been training with Ryan and he cannot

:06:46. > :06:49.believe how hard she trains. Michael Phelps says, she reminds me a lot of

:06:50. > :06:56.how I was as a kid. She's not afraid and does back down. Great words

:06:57. > :07:03.indeed. She has now extended her lead a little bit from Jazmin

:07:04. > :07:09.Carlin. Jazmin Carlin now being caught up by Kapas of Hungary. She

:07:10. > :07:15.needs to keep her pace, but she may be battling with Kapas now. Both of

:07:16. > :07:22.them are going 31.5s on that last 50 metres. Kapas, the European

:07:23. > :07:34.champion, giving it a go. The Europeans in London this year, it

:07:35. > :07:47.was Kapas Jazmin Carlin and Kohler. I think Jaz will be OK, but it will

:07:48. > :08:03.be good to see her go with Kapas. This is the final of the seeded

:08:04. > :08:12.heats. Ledecky is leading. Kapas if Kapas is doing fast splits, it might

:08:13. > :08:19.be good for Jaz to pull ahead. Ledecky is a superstar. I cannot do

:08:20. > :08:24.it justice here, head back story, but if anyone wants to go online and

:08:25. > :08:28.search her name, there is a brilliant article in Sports

:08:29. > :08:33.Illustrated on her background. The question asked in the article is how

:08:34. > :08:39.far does a family line temperament travel? Head two grandfathers are

:08:40. > :08:45.stunning man. Seeing the history of where she has come from, maybe try

:08:46. > :08:51.to get a bit on that for the studio. Both temperament in terms of the

:08:52. > :08:55.ability to... Somebody says, she is a lovely person, nice family,

:08:56. > :08:59.seemingly no dark side, where does the few we come from? That is Dave

:09:00. > :09:02.Marsh, the American coach of the women's team. Look at some of the

:09:03. > :09:04.things that have been achieved by her grandparents, you will say there

:09:05. > :09:18.is something in it, absolutely. Ledecky coming to the 700 metres. An

:09:19. > :09:22.easy swim for her. I don't think her left leg is moving. Ledecky is

:09:23. > :09:27.looking very comfortable indeed and just starting to go to her feet now

:09:28. > :09:32.with 100 metres to go. Two lengths left in his final heat of the

:09:33. > :09:40.women's 800 metres freestyle. Ledecky has led pretty much from the

:09:41. > :09:46.gun. Kapas has just overtaken Great Britain's Jazmin Carlin. 7.19 was at

:09:47. > :09:51.this point in the previous heats. Jazmin Carlin has just turned in a

:09:52. > :09:58.7.17. She should be fine and this case may end up dead busters into

:09:59. > :10:06.the final. It is a good case. She is off Becky's British, European

:10:07. > :10:14.record. Becky can relax in the studio. She will probably hope that

:10:15. > :10:22.Jaz Brexit. Ledecky is streets ahead. -- Jaz. Ledecky is streets

:10:23. > :10:42.ahead. Ledecky wins it. Kapas of Hungary

:10:43. > :10:54.second, just 20 41 hundredths ahead of Jaz Carlin of Great Britain. The

:10:55. > :11:00.previous heat was won in 8.20 two. I think that may well put Great

:11:01. > :11:05.Britain's Jaz Carlin third fastest into the final. Very good solid

:11:06. > :11:10.swim. Job done, really, but I think she can go quicker than that. Very

:11:11. > :11:19.exciting. This is earlier in the race. She is in the red hat. Kapas

:11:20. > :11:23.not even in shot here. Jaz Carlin took the race to Kapas and I wonder

:11:24. > :11:30.if she needs to break ahead a bit more in the final or stick with

:11:31. > :11:36.Kapas and Sprint at the end. The level of breathing is underwater

:11:37. > :11:40.from the bow wave, get the bow wave going and ten ahead only enough to

:11:41. > :11:46.breathe. You don't need to turn your head to the sky, but just enough to

:11:47. > :11:52.breed. So efficient. The battle for second and third, 24 41 hundredths

:11:53. > :11:56.between these two. We saw earlier the man with the bell, two lengths

:11:57. > :12:03.to go, they still use the old-fashioned bell. The clapper out

:12:04. > :12:11.of the Bell fell off and nearly hit the swimmers.

:12:12. > :12:18.Kapas, a new Olympic record for her, she will go into the final as

:12:19. > :12:24.fastest. Jaz Carlin will make the final in third. That final heat will

:12:25. > :12:44.provide the fastest four swimmers. HELEN SKELTON: Katie Ledecky is just

:12:45. > :12:50.unbelievable. She makes amazing swimmers look average. Jaz Carlin is

:12:51. > :12:54.amazing. How do you rate her chances of a medal? She will definitely be

:12:55. > :12:58.on the podium tomorrow night. She looked very comfortable this

:12:59. > :13:02.morning, she is capable and might break the British record. She needs

:13:03. > :13:08.to work on her terms. The other guys have very strong terms and I worry

:13:09. > :13:14.that Kapas and Smith are over the other side of the pool. I think she

:13:15. > :13:19.will be -- Kapas will be able to see them. Jaz Carlin is on course for

:13:20. > :13:26.another medal in the 800. Plenty of water-based medals coming our way.

:13:27. > :13:28.All the water-based medals, all the water-based medals. We will step

:13:29. > :13:32.away for the water just for now because we are one day away from

:13:33. > :13:41.giving out the first boxing medals of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. For

:13:42. > :13:45.Great Britain, Joshua Buatsi, part students, hot Olympian. He really

:13:46. > :13:48.packs a punch. He recorded the very first knockout of these games in

:13:49. > :13:56.this earlier round against the Ugandan. He is taking on the box

:13:57. > :13:58.from you get this down. We join this in the third round and see how

:13:59. > :14:13.Joshua is getting on. Round three. As we move into the

:14:14. > :14:17.third and final round of this 81 kilograms light heavyweight bout in

:14:18. > :14:26.the second preliminary round, the man wearing blue, Joshua Buatsi, is

:14:27. > :14:30.the boxer in the ascendancy. He took the second round in unanimous

:14:31. > :14:34.fashion. He has a commanding two point advantage. Four judges, all

:14:35. > :14:49.square for Judge B. Joshua Buatsi is on the cusp of what

:14:50. > :14:57.will be one of the biggest victories in boxing. What is important is now

:14:58. > :15:00.for Joshua Buatsi is that he keeps the workrate very high. Raise the

:15:01. > :15:05.tempo, because you could force this guy to hold on. The referee keeps

:15:06. > :15:09.telling him, stop holding. If he tells him time and again, he may

:15:10. > :15:13.just give him a warning. Joshua Buatsi has to raise the tempo, put

:15:14. > :15:18.him under pressure on that front foot. Keep it going.

:15:19. > :15:27.It sends Rasulov down to the canvas and his eyeballs were in orbit! He

:15:28. > :15:31.is cut above the right eye and he appears to be in real trouble. We

:15:32. > :15:35.are approaching the midpoint of the third and final round and Joshua

:15:36. > :15:39.Buatsi is looking for a second successive stoppage Iraq Rio 2016.

:15:40. > :15:46.Rasulov is all over the place, he doesn't know where he is. That's

:15:47. > :15:49.what we needed from Joshua Buatsi, raising the tempo and hitting his

:15:50. > :15:54.opponent with powerful shots like that. Tremendous stuff, he's going

:15:55. > :15:58.for it again. What a blistering combination. Joshua Buatsi has just

:15:59. > :16:00.steam-rolled his way into the quarterfinals of the light

:16:01. > :16:08.heavyweight tournament with a terrific display, knocking out

:16:09. > :16:13.Elshod Rasulov, the tournament number three seed has been

:16:14. > :16:18.annihilated by a terrific punching display from Joshua Buatsi. He is

:16:19. > :16:24.now one win away from a place on the medal podium, but let's get this

:16:25. > :16:28.into context. Joshua Buatsi, the 80s round -- 18th ranked boxer in the

:16:29. > :16:32.world, has just produced a stunning upset to eliminate a man who has won

:16:33. > :16:36.six medals at World Championships over the years. He came in ranked

:16:37. > :16:41.number six in the world, the tournament number three seed. To

:16:42. > :16:45.give you an idea of how big a story he is, he was the flag bearer in

:16:46. > :16:51.London 2012 for his nation. How about that for a right-hand? And the

:16:52. > :16:57.left hook, look at that for a punch. It wasn't as if you it was a lucky

:16:58. > :17:00.punch, he was winning this contest, beating this fellow who was

:17:01. > :17:03.favourite to beat Joshua Buatsi here, but Buatsi has produced the

:17:04. > :17:07.performance of his career. Tremendous stuff, power punching,

:17:08. > :17:10.good tactics, let's bring in the coaches. They have played their

:17:11. > :17:18.part. They have it spot-on. Tremendous performance, Buatsi. What

:17:19. > :17:23.a fantastic display by this man. He has got talent, he has got the

:17:24. > :17:28.temperament, he has got the self belief, and he has just produced a

:17:29. > :17:29.devastating display to eliminate the tournament number three seed. Let's

:17:30. > :18:03.get the official announcement. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by

:18:04. > :18:09.a knockout... In the blue corner... Joshua Buatsi. Joshua Buatsi has

:18:10. > :18:15.just launched into the final stages of the 81 kilograms light

:18:16. > :18:19.heavyweight tournament in Rio 2016 with one of the most significant

:18:20. > :18:23.victories by a boxer wearing a British vest. He has eliminated the

:18:24. > :18:27.tournament number three seed and put the rest of the light heavyweight

:18:28. > :18:28.division on notice. Joshua Buatsi is coming in search of an Olympic

:18:29. > :18:38.medal. You have come in as an underdog,

:18:39. > :18:41.what did you make of it? First of all I want to thank God for the

:18:42. > :18:46.victory again and it wouldn't have happened without. The person, the

:18:47. > :18:50.church, everything. Beating three-time Olympian, I'm blown away

:18:51. > :18:54.myself. I couldn't tell you what's happening and how it's happening.

:18:55. > :18:57.It's just showing that I have progressed and I was the underdog

:18:58. > :19:01.and that's the main talent I've got. I'm still an underdog now --

:19:02. > :19:06.underdog now and that's the mentality I have. The aim is to get

:19:07. > :19:10.rid of the guy in front of me. After you knocked him down for the first

:19:11. > :19:14.time I saw your corner ushering you to calm down, what goes through your

:19:15. > :19:19.mind? They said calm down, calm down, I've got him hurt, I better

:19:20. > :19:30.get in. I will be calm but I have to go for him. One win away from the

:19:31. > :19:33.medal. Hopefully I can get it and go all the way, I will be giving

:19:34. > :19:36.everything once I step in there and put myself on the line. We're

:19:37. > :19:43.looking forward to seeing you in the next round, thanks.

:19:44. > :19:54.Here we go, this is the moment. This looks sharp, it is sharp. We're

:19:55. > :20:04.getting goose bumps appear. Oh, sensational! Yes! Come on! They've

:20:05. > :20:07.done it, oh, my word. It's Joe Clarke got of Great Britain, the

:20:08. > :20:18.Olympic champion, its gold for Jack and Chris. What a night it was for

:20:19. > :20:21.Great Britain, for the British fans, not least the British athletes who

:20:22. > :20:26.came away with the gold medal, Chris Mears, this is a real honour for all

:20:27. > :20:29.of us here on BBC Four because we've not yet had a great British gold

:20:30. > :20:33.medal to show you for, so for the first time would you mind showing us

:20:34. > :20:40.that little bit of old and where right there. Chris Mears, Olympic

:20:41. > :20:43.champion, friend, how does it feel? Yes, I'm still in shock. I thought

:20:44. > :20:49.maybe after going to sleep and having that time to kind of rest

:20:50. > :20:53.would let it sink in, but it really hasn't, like what happened yesterday

:20:54. > :20:58.in the pool was just amazing. Like me and Jack were just really in a

:20:59. > :21:02.form of a lifetime and we were so focused on that performance and we

:21:03. > :21:07.really pulled it out of the bag. You did more than that, you pulled

:21:08. > :21:10.arising out of the bag. Was it more than you guys expected? You are

:21:11. > :21:13.Commonwealth champions together, you have come in with great form, the

:21:14. > :21:17.form of your lives, so did you anticipate that you could let

:21:18. > :21:22.yourself dream that gold would be what you would becoming away from

:21:23. > :21:25.Rio with? It's everyone's dream. We knew we were talented enough to do

:21:26. > :21:29.it and it could happen. It's just we didn't know that it would happen.

:21:30. > :21:34.It's just incredible. I think actually it wasn't a PB for us, it's

:21:35. > :21:38.two points off our PB so it was up there. Just on that day, with the

:21:39. > :21:42.wind, the rain, the green water, there were a lot of distractions

:21:43. > :21:46.that some people may have felt which me and Jack didn't let it affect us

:21:47. > :21:50.and we got on with it and did our thing. There was so much going on.

:21:51. > :21:59.Let's show you exactly what we did, shall we. I haven't seen it. Talk us

:22:00. > :22:02.through what it was like when you're out there on the board, the

:22:03. > :22:07.environment, the open air, the green water, what's going through your

:22:08. > :22:11.mind when you land that? Literally just on that last dive on the front

:22:12. > :22:17.was keep your head up and do not mess this up. Because it's such an

:22:18. > :22:22.important moment, a moment in time that you can make such a simple

:22:23. > :22:26.mistake and then it goes from first to fourth, or second to seventh,

:22:27. > :22:30.it's so simple, yet so complex and the same time and it's so beautiful

:22:31. > :22:34.to have nailed it in that one moment. It doesn't get hotter than

:22:35. > :22:40.yourself and your good friend Jacques Blaauw, what is it like

:22:41. > :22:44.doing it with your best mate? -- Jack Laugher. We are best mates, we

:22:45. > :22:49.are joined at the hips, so to stand up there on the board was a pleasure

:22:50. > :22:53.like it always is. We were in the zone, we were enjoying every second

:22:54. > :22:57.of it. We were soaking it all up and to stand there on the podium and

:22:58. > :22:58.hear the national anthem was something I will carry with me for

:22:59. > :22:59.the rest hear the national anthem was

:23:00. > :23:02.something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. It was

:23:03. > :23:06.sensational. Unfortunately for Jack, well, I should say fortunately, he

:23:07. > :23:11.has the chance to win another gold. Yes, he has another chance. Worries

:23:12. > :23:16.you have a few days in the Rio, the sun is out, your family is here,

:23:17. > :23:23.what have you planned? -- whereas you. I might have a party, I might

:23:24. > :23:27.wake for Jack and support him and his four -- I might wait for Jack

:23:28. > :23:31.and supportive in his event. I will go to his training sessions, make

:23:32. > :23:36.sure he's in good shape. I normally watch him train and thereby his

:23:37. > :23:40.side. I want to make sure that he can do the best it can and when he's

:23:41. > :23:44.done we will go and party a little bit I think. That is teamwork, the

:23:45. > :23:48.party doesn't get started until your body is ready to go. An absolute

:23:49. > :23:54.pleasure to talk to you, Chris. Don't go anywhere, the track -- he

:23:55. > :23:58.has attracted an audience. Go and show them your gold medal, Chris.

:23:59. > :24:02.While he does that, you go over to the German guys, they are

:24:03. > :24:06.interested. While Chris goes over there, he didn't know I was going to

:24:07. > :24:10.do that, he's going to attract some people over there. While Chris shows

:24:11. > :24:15.off his gold medal we are going down to the Deodoro because Great Britain

:24:16. > :24:19.have another opportunity to win a medalled, it could be gold, in the

:24:20. > :24:24.rugby sevens. A fantastic result last night laid against Argentina

:24:25. > :24:27.has put them into a semifinal against South Africa will stop

:24:28. > :24:31.however, the first semifinal of the afternoon will see Fiji, the world

:24:32. > :24:37.series champions, take on Japan, mouthwatering doesn't even cut it,

:24:38. > :24:41.John Inverdale. It's been an extraordinary

:24:42. > :24:45.tournament, from day one, from day one when Japan beat New Zealand you

:24:46. > :24:47.felt it was the spark that lit the touchpaper of what's been a

:24:48. > :24:51.remarkable tournament. We've had some great games and a few moments

:24:52. > :24:55.ago to the list of staggering spectacles that this event has

:24:56. > :25:02.thrown up, was Argentina against Australia. Australia led 21-0 at

:25:03. > :25:04.half-time and Argentina have just come back with a last play of the

:25:05. > :25:10.match to win it by match to win it by 26-21. That has

:25:11. > :25:16.delighted these hordes of Argentinian fans in the stadium here

:25:17. > :25:21.and they make a lot of noise. The semifinal As are the poorer for

:25:22. > :25:25.having not got Argentina in them but we are delighted from a British

:25:26. > :25:28.perspective because Great Britain beat Argentina in the extraordinary

:25:29. > :25:32.spectacle last night. Across the board what has been interesting is

:25:33. > :25:39.the way that so many countries here have actually spoken about not in

:25:40. > :25:43.ignorance but if you like a distant attachment from rugby sevens, not

:25:44. > :25:46.being aware of the sport and a lot of Germans who were watching the

:25:47. > :25:50.hockey, which is in the stadium just over the way, they heard the noise

:25:51. > :25:54.that has been going on here and out of curiosity wandered over to see

:25:55. > :25:57.what was happening and I met a bunch of guys from Hamburg yesterday who

:25:58. > :26:10.had never seen the game in their lives before and they said it was

:26:11. > :26:13.wonderful, you know? In fact, as we are waiting for the teams to come

:26:14. > :26:21.out for the first of these semifinals between France and Japan,

:26:22. > :26:24.for the Fijians, this is always a danger when we are covering any

:26:25. > :26:28.sport, whatever sport it might be, that we can resort to hyperbole and

:26:29. > :26:33.go massively over the top, but this really is hugely, hugely important

:26:34. > :26:41.for the Fijian team and nation. They have never won medal here at any

:26:42. > :26:45.single Olympic Games in history, so this is their opportunity to break

:26:46. > :26:49.that duck, but also to give a huge amount of pride to entire nation and

:26:50. > :26:54.I know people have spoken about this at World Cups in days gone by and on

:26:55. > :26:59.the world would be World Series, but in certain parts of Fiji, when they

:27:00. > :27:02.have the flooding that took place and storms that took place a couple

:27:03. > :27:06.of years ago, when thousands of people lost their homes, this is a

:27:07. > :27:12.monument or game for them because they are coming to towns, to city

:27:13. > :27:17.centres, to watch a big-screen television to actually see their

:27:18. > :27:20.heroes in action. This is a huge, huge moment for the Fijian nation

:27:21. > :27:25.coming up in a moment against Japan and the big moment for Japan because

:27:26. > :27:29.if the Japanese fully embrace rugby union in the way they did during the

:27:30. > :27:34.World Cup last year, then look out the rest of the rugby world. I'm

:27:35. > :27:38.joined by Ian Ritchie, the chief executive of the Rugby football

:27:39. > :27:41.union. Sevens operates a bit on the margins as far as England are

:27:42. > :27:44.concerned and it's fair to say as far as most of Great Britain is

:27:45. > :27:47.concerned with the possible exception of the Scottish Borders.

:27:48. > :27:51.Have the events of the last few days here made you think that perhaps the

:27:52. > :27:56.rugby union should pay more attention to and give more emphasis

:27:57. > :28:00.to seven aside rugby? I think we have been -- have given a lot of

:28:01. > :28:04.emphasis do it. The women have been on contracts for some time, we moved

:28:05. > :28:07.some of the 15s team out into the seven As. There is a complication

:28:08. > :28:10.about preparation for the men because they can't play the

:28:11. > :28:14.tournament but actually yes, the impact of the rugby here and the

:28:15. > :28:20.impact of the event I think has been amazing around the and obviously we

:28:21. > :28:24.look at that Team GB as well. Do you think individual clubs in England,

:28:25. > :28:29.Wales, Scotland, should be thinking maybe we should actually have a

:28:30. > :28:32.sevens arm to our 15 aside operation because it's a simpler form of the

:28:33. > :28:36.game and perhaps it's a way to increase playing numbers as well?

:28:37. > :28:42.This is the best possible showcase you could have do develop that sort

:28:43. > :28:48.of thing and I think everybody is watching, if you watched the game

:28:49. > :28:55.with Argentina last night, you couldn't but be infused all

:28:56. > :28:58.motivated and to try and develop it so I think it's a very helpful and

:28:59. > :29:01.important arm of the game because it's so fast, it's so different from

:29:02. > :29:04.15th, you will get more people involved of it. I thought about

:29:05. > :29:10.Great Britain against South Africa, are you hopeful, optimistic, full of

:29:11. > :29:14.trepidation? I'm always full of trepidation every time I watch every

:29:15. > :29:17.game, but I was talking to the guys earlier, they are confident and

:29:18. > :29:22.delighted to be there and sevens is so quick and can turn on two or

:29:23. > :29:25.three small instances, they are delighted to be where they are and

:29:26. > :29:30.they will give it their all and you have to be in with a shout. Ian

:29:31. > :29:35.Ritchie, the chief executive of the Rugby football union. Here is the

:29:36. > :29:39.first of the semifinals and the rugby sevens competition between

:29:40. > :29:40.Fiji and Japan, Sir Clive Woodward and every -- Eddie Butler calling it

:29:41. > :29:57.for you. Fiji will kick off against Japan.

:29:58. > :29:59.Vatemo Ravouvou, the man with the ball in his hands. They are the

:30:00. > :30:10.back-to-back reigning world champions. They are seeded top here

:30:11. > :30:17.in Rio. Sevens is everything in Fiji. But will that wave of

:30:18. > :30:21.expectation affect them? Japan came here and said they didn't expect too

:30:22. > :30:38.much. They are very much at ease with what they are doing.

:30:39. > :30:51.Josua Tuisova, once played for Toulon in France.

:30:52. > :31:00.A little tug on the shirt. Hello, Clive. Pull-back on the shirt. The

:31:01. > :31:07.difference in size is amazing, watching Fiji against Japan. Japan

:31:08. > :31:18.will be very disappointed with that, but that is how to pass the ball.

:31:19. > :31:27.There is a danger, not for Fiji... Japan have made the semifinals, they

:31:28. > :31:33.are playing against the favourites, the best team in the world. Are they

:31:34. > :31:38.thinking of a bronze medal? I be thinking, this isn't our big chance?

:31:39. > :31:45.The big chance comes next in the bronze medal game? What will happen,

:31:46. > :31:49.they will give this their all. No doubt, Japan will give this their

:31:50. > :31:54.all. If they were to lose, and there is every chance they will, they will

:31:55. > :32:01.absolutely say, right, this is our Olympic Games final, the bronze

:32:02. > :32:06.medal position. The Fijians have already been fantastic. I don't

:32:07. > :32:10.think this is the quickest team and we have seen, but their

:32:11. > :32:13.ball-handling and fitness is in a different league than anyone else we

:32:14. > :32:19.have seen. The footwork and the way they pass the ball, they create so

:32:20. > :32:22.much space. All seven players, pretty impressive. It is a shame

:32:23. > :32:30.Japan gave away that soft penalty. Japan have done well and they come

:32:31. > :33:02.back. Lomano Lemeki is of Fijian heritage.

:33:03. > :33:06.Ravouvou is in a spot of bother. Yellow card, Fiji down to six. Japan

:33:07. > :33:14.might put aside thoughts of only playing for the bronze. They now

:33:15. > :33:20.have seven men against Fiji's six. This player has been expanding --

:33:21. > :33:24.exceptional. They are not thinking about third place at this stage,

:33:25. > :33:25.they are thinking, can they cause another upset? They have beaten New

:33:26. > :33:39.Zealand. You can see, he knows he has let his

:33:40. > :33:44.team down. You cannot play this game with six against seven. This is a

:33:45. > :34:12.big game for him and his country. Teruya Goto. Five apiece, conversion

:34:13. > :34:17.to come. The Japanese team are in the semifinals, not by chance or

:34:18. > :34:26.lock. They're handling skills have been fantastic. Teruya Goto has had

:34:27. > :34:34.two tries already. Real pace. That try needed scoring. You cannot be

:34:35. > :34:40.put in the bin in this game. This Japanese team is technically very

:34:41. > :34:48.strong. They are taking advantage of the Fijians being down to six

:34:49. > :34:51.players. Ravouvou sits on the bench on the yellow bin seat. Not the

:34:52. > :35:05.bench. The seat of shame. This is where John spoke in the

:35:06. > :35:09.break about the pressure. Pressure causes players sometimes to do rush

:35:10. > :35:18.things. That was a rash late tackle which cost his side dearly.

:35:19. > :35:33.That eats up the last few seconds and is Ravouvou is back on. Seven,

:35:34. > :35:37.five against five on the scoreboard. Basic mistake from the Japanese

:35:38. > :35:49.team, you don't want to give Fiji a free ball on the centre line.

:35:50. > :35:57.Ravouvou might have a point to prove, having been stuck in the bin.

:35:58. > :35:58.Fiji quite happy to go backwards, because they can surge forwards like

:35:59. > :36:39.no other team. Wonderful site, pretty impressed

:36:40. > :36:44.with the touchdown. There are 12 teams in this tournament. Only Fiji

:36:45. > :36:50.played this way. They just don't like putting the ball into contact.

:36:51. > :36:57.Great contact from the big man. That's how to score a try. Fiji play

:36:58. > :37:01.the game totally differently. They don't like the ball going into the

:37:02. > :37:06.contact area. They do anything to keep it off the floor. That is where

:37:07. > :37:12.at work and ball-handling is in a different league. They are so big.

:37:13. > :37:15.You mentioned Nakarawa earlier, former Glasgow player. He is twice

:37:16. > :38:00.the size of the Japanese players. That will be it. At half-time, Fiji

:38:01. > :38:07.with the advantage. Ten points to five. The captain will be

:38:08. > :38:19.disappointed with that. It was a great effort. The excellent coach

:38:20. > :38:26.coming onto the field. He will just say, guys, keep the ball. Keep the

:38:27. > :38:33.ball. This game is not over. 10-5. Some huge upsets in these Olympic

:38:34. > :38:38.Games. One score, one about, Japan could be back in the game. Fiji have

:38:39. > :38:42.to control the ball, use all their ball-handling ability and just keep

:38:43. > :38:46.the ball away from this very talented Japanese team. You

:38:47. > :38:56.mentioned all of their wins to get to the last four. They lost to Great

:38:57. > :39:01.Britain but only by two points. The Team GB team were really stretching

:39:02. > :39:09.at the end, they won by two points. They come into this ranked tenth.

:39:10. > :39:14.They came in ten. They are playing the number one seed. This should be

:39:15. > :39:18.a win for Fiji, but it should have been a win for New Zealand, who were

:39:19. > :39:38.ranked three. These are great pictures.

:39:39. > :39:47.They have players who were born in Fiji. Lomano Lemeki of Tongan

:39:48. > :39:53.heritage. Such an influence across the Pacific ocean from a small

:39:54. > :40:00.Island. They not only love their rugby, they are exporters of rugby

:40:01. > :40:05.talent. Really enjoying watching this, because with all that talent,

:40:06. > :40:12.two completely different styles. Japan have a pretty strong wind

:40:13. > :40:13.behind them. Lomano Lemeki, he has been excellent throughout the

:40:14. > :40:44.tournament, he gets it underway. They don't want the ball to go to

:40:45. > :40:48.the ground. They offer more passes because they can carry the ball so

:40:49. > :40:57.easily, these giants. One-handed, one-handed.

:40:58. > :41:05.One-handed, the touchdown. That was just awesome. You just don't want to

:41:06. > :41:19.play against these guys. The passes were wonderful. What a

:41:20. > :41:23.great side. This is one of the great sides in the Olympic Games for me.

:41:24. > :41:28.They have been magnificent. They are not playing basketball, the ball is

:41:29. > :41:32.going everywhere. The Japanese, who are fantastic defenders, they just

:41:33. > :41:35.can't cope. We call this float in the UK, it is just passing. They

:41:36. > :41:48.pass the ball in so many different ways, it is wonderful to watch.

:41:49. > :41:54.Ravouvou misses. It still matters. They started as if they were in

:41:55. > :42:01.first gear two days ago. It would appear their minds and their limbs

:42:02. > :42:05.are very firmly on the job now. You saw in 30 seconds what Fiji and

:42:06. > :42:10.rugby is all about. As of two Ben Ryan, the coach. He has taken Fijian

:42:11. > :42:11.rugby to a whole new level by playing to their strengths, which

:42:12. > :42:39.you just saw there. Their breakdown work is good. It is

:42:40. > :42:43.excellent, they are one of the most technically spot on teams in the

:42:44. > :42:53.tournament. They cleared the ball so quickly.

:42:54. > :43:04.What, no arms? Oh, hi and dangerous. Two minutes in the bin. I would like

:43:05. > :43:10.to see that again. This is a physical game, come on.

:43:11. > :43:19.No one will get hurt doing that. The referee was harsh, it wasn't a sin

:43:20. > :43:30.bin offence. Japan are really up against it now for two minutes.

:43:31. > :43:48.Viliame Fiji are easing their way towards a

:43:49. > :43:49.medal if they reach the final, they are guaranteed their first ever

:43:50. > :44:04.Olympic medal. In any sport. It is hard playing against Fiji.

:44:05. > :44:10.Seven against seven, but six against seven... You are looking at the

:44:11. > :44:17.bronze medal position. What a wonderful site. I just know in the

:44:18. > :44:21.Olympic village, all of the athletes were abuzz with the sevens. Fiji are

:44:22. > :44:27.taking the sport to a whole new level. Japan are a very, very good

:44:28. > :44:33.team. What I love is a contrast in styles. Japan like the contact,

:44:34. > :44:37.quick ball, quick ball. Fiji are slow, slow, waiting for the break,

:44:38. > :44:47.using incredible footwork and ball-handling. That was magnificent.

:44:48. > :44:52.Kameli Soejima comes on. Japan efficient at the reception. Wobbling

:44:53. > :45:09.a bit now, but quite happy to pause. Neatly presented, along way to go

:45:10. > :45:23.though. Crunched. That looks higher than the tackle. It put Lemeki in

:45:24. > :45:30.the bin. Excellent elusive running. Domolailai makes the tackle. Japan

:45:31. > :45:39.are now out of their 22 and it's in the hands of Tokunaga. Well done

:45:40. > :45:49.Japan, they are keeping the ball really well trying to play the clock

:45:50. > :46:04.down. Soejima. Camerasa route tries the dummy, nearly gets through. Out.

:46:05. > :46:10.To Tokunaga. Fiji know they have made the final and they are hanging

:46:11. > :46:15.off tackles now. It was a struggle to keep it alive for Japan, every

:46:16. > :46:19.yard made Drew more strength out of the attackers than it did the

:46:20. > :46:23.defenders. Yes, Lemeki comes back on now and I have to say I'm

:46:24. > :46:31.disappointed with that, the decision wasn't a yellow card. It is allowed

:46:32. > :46:34.Fiji to really stroll into this Olympic gold medal final which to be

:46:35. > :46:39.fair they deserve to be, they are the better side than Japan and

:46:40. > :46:43.obviously the way Fiji has played is its absolute best this afternoon.

:46:44. > :46:47.Japan, just get away, no injuries now, look forward to the bronze

:46:48. > :47:00.medal game later on. The returning Lomano Lemeki, to Kuwazuru. They

:47:01. > :47:07.might finish with a little flourish here, Japan. Just over a minute

:47:08. > :47:12.left. Teruya Goto, a knock-on. We saw what Ben Ryan thoughtless this

:47:13. > :47:17.team, the Achilles' heel of the Fijian rugby as they ran out of

:47:18. > :47:21.steam, he is training on the sand dunes of Fiji, he has gotten these

:47:22. > :47:25.guys' endurance at to remarkable levels, one of the fittest teams in

:47:26. > :47:29.this tournament. They will go the distance with anybody. The

:47:30. > :47:38.physicality, they love to tackle. You saw they are dislodging the

:47:39. > :47:41.balls, the Fijian player came, he smashed the Japanese player, I think

:47:42. > :47:45.it was Jerry Tuwai. It gives them the feel of the scrum. Less than a

:47:46. > :47:47.minute ago, the number one seeds make Olympic final. -- less than a

:47:48. > :48:01.minute to go. Ravouvou quite happy to keep the

:48:02. > :48:11.ball in close contact. This is just outstanding work, in such close

:48:12. > :48:17.space. Away comes from a Lie lie. -- Domolailai. Japan can surge out of

:48:18. > :48:27.their half. Oh! Than the big tackle comes in, sundering tackle. Nakamura

:48:28. > :48:32.pauses. It's going to be Japan's scrum and if they were trying to

:48:33. > :48:35.save some things themselves for their bronze medal final, they've

:48:36. > :48:43.had some breath knocked out of them. Poor rolled Tokunaga. Poor Tokunaga

:48:44. > :49:01.just felt the whole of Fiji! Mata, not a man to run into. I saw

:49:02. > :49:05.the referee and I don't think... Penalty against Ravouvou, just a

:49:06. > :49:15.little tackle before the ball was out. Lemeki, up to halfway. Penalty.

:49:16. > :49:31.He helping them now because the game is over. come on, Japan. Player

:49:32. > :49:47.Shima. -- Toyosima. New player, Sakai is on, this is Fukuoka. The

:49:48. > :50:04.advantage is now over. Away comes Lemeki, loose infield, picked off by

:50:05. > :50:09.Ravouvou. A big hit from Soejima. The game is over, Fiji are

:50:10. > :50:16.guaranteed their first Olympic medal. There, they have beaten Japan

:50:17. > :50:18.by 20-5, they go into the gold medal final. Japan will go into the bronze

:50:19. > :50:34.medal final. Who is down injured? The last set really put some hits in

:50:35. > :50:41.there and in the end Fiji were glad to get the ball. Fiji back on their

:50:42. > :50:47.feet, everybody looks sound, they've beaten by Japan by 20-5.

:50:48. > :50:53.JOHN INVERDALE: That was extraordinary, five --

:50:54. > :50:57.about nine players prone on the pitch. Hugely physical, monumentally

:50:58. > :51:01.physical, but we're getting to the tiredness stakes now and both

:51:02. > :51:05.players are going to have to galvanise themselves just one more

:51:06. > :51:09.time for ten minutes each way in the bronze medal and the gold medal

:51:10. > :51:12.matches. If you are new to this sport and maybe you missed the

:51:13. > :51:16.women's competition a couple of days or so ago, in the bronze medal match

:51:17. > :51:21.and gold-medal Mike Grob much it's ten minutes each way which is almost

:51:22. > :51:24.cruel, because they put so much effort to get into this point and

:51:25. > :51:28.then they have to play even longer when the medals are at stake -- the

:51:29. > :51:34.gold-medal match. The president of Fiji is here. That has to be the

:51:35. > :51:38.must get grab interview, to get the president of Fiji on because of --

:51:39. > :51:42.before the final. We are doing our best for that. For the people of

:51:43. > :51:45.Fiji, I am not sure what the time differences there but it's probably

:51:46. > :51:51.about sometime early in the morning in Fiji, everybody will have stayed

:51:52. > :51:56.up to see that. Fiji into the final, but will it be Great Britain South

:51:57. > :51:58.Africa that they face? You can see the second semifinal on BBC One at

:51:59. > :52:12.the top the hour. That result guarantees a British man

:52:13. > :52:17.into the final, Ben Ryan is a coach, so one Brit in the final tonight.

:52:18. > :52:22.Can Britain get asked South Africa, the Commonwealth champions? We will

:52:23. > :52:25.see later. Before we go off air on BBC Four we will let back into the

:52:26. > :52:29.swimming pool because James Guy is going in the 100 metres fly heat and

:52:30. > :52:34.it's the top 16 that make it into the finals. He was able to bounce

:52:35. > :52:38.back from the 200-metre final in which came forth a couple of days

:52:39. > :52:44.ago. Talking is through this, Adrian Moorhouse and Adam Jamieson.

:52:45. > :52:50.COMMENTATOR: So the last of the unseeded heats of

:52:51. > :52:55.the men's 100 fly and James Guy of Great Britain in the Red Hat, this

:52:56. > :53:00.is really important for the 4x100 medley relay. Absolutely, a great

:53:01. > :53:06.opportunity for Britain in the relays. James Guy, good first life,

:53:07. > :53:16.he's a monster, top three at the turn but look at two, liberal shank

:53:17. > :53:22.oh of Ukraine. James Guy turning in third -- Lyubomyr Lemeshko. Up to 15

:53:23. > :53:29.metres, now taking the lead. Long Gutierrez of Mexico in six. The

:53:30. > :53:34.Singaporean going well, his team-mates coming up, this is good

:53:35. > :53:40.from James Guy and if he can get is that touch, under 52 would be

:53:41. > :53:45.awesome. 51.7, oh, my word, that is massively important for Team GB

:53:46. > :53:48.because our backstroke was in the semifinal of the 100 backstroke, our

:53:49. > :53:54.breaststroke, I don't need to tell you about Adam Peaty, this was one

:53:55. > :53:55.of the weak legs and it's pretty good because our freestyler made the

:53:56. > :54:05.final. A fantastic swim, a PB for you.

:54:06. > :54:10.Tomorrow is the medley relay, it was good to see what I've got and I'm in

:54:11. > :54:14.a good place. We don't think of you as a flier, we think of you as a

:54:15. > :54:18.freestyler first and foremost but that time could get you into the

:54:19. > :54:22.semis. It could, actually. We will see how things go. The star was in

:54:23. > :54:26.great for me but I turned it around and I have got better each time I

:54:27. > :54:35.have raced. Hopefully the last race will be a good one. It's almost like

:54:36. > :54:38.a week out away. It will be better next time, it's an amazing crowd and

:54:39. > :54:44.thank you very much for the home support. You will hope to be in the

:54:45. > :54:50.semis of the men -- the medley relay could be really exciting. Yes, it's

:54:51. > :54:53.the last raced ever so to raise him and try and upset the Americans

:54:54. > :54:56.would be a great stormy Finnish Forest. We keep our fingers crossed

:54:57. > :55:13.we will see you later. I hope so. Two Americans third and fourth,

:55:14. > :55:16.great news for James Guy a fabulous for Great Britain.

:55:17. > :55:20.Congratulations to James Guy, and I'm hearing Dan Walker down at

:55:21. > :55:25.Copacabana Beach there's news of a great British medal, is that right?

:55:26. > :55:28.You are correct again, thank you for your time today on BBC Four. We've

:55:29. > :55:32.had another medal in the canoe double this time round, a silver for

:55:33. > :55:37.David Florence and Richard Hounslow. We will be there shortly for another

:55:38. > :55:41.medal chance coming up for Fiona Pennie. Welcome back to Copacabana,

:55:42. > :55:45.the Sunnis back, the wind is back, gusts of up to 50 miles an hour down

:55:46. > :55:49.here, we have everything strapped down, we're with you until 2am in

:55:50. > :55:57.the morning and all this is on the way.

:55:58. > :56:03.In the next few minutes Fiona Pennie try stimulate Joe Clarke's gold in

:56:04. > :56:10.the white water in women's kayak K-1 final. We will be other women's

:56:11. > :56:13.all-round final in the gymnastics, prepared as the one of the great

:56:14. > :56:27.athletes in the world, the United States' Simone Biles. Johanna Konta

:56:28. > :56:29.is in action in the quarterfinals of the women's signals, she plays

:56:30. > :56:31.Angelique Kerber from Germany. Andy Murray is playing in the third round

:56:32. > :56:42.against Fabio Flamini of Italy. Later on we will see Great Britain's

:56:43. > :56:48.main hope in the badminton, Chris and Gabby Adcock play their first

:56:49. > :56:52.group match, that's on BBC Four. And we showed you the ladies' singles

:56:53. > :56:59.final in a table tennis yesterday. Tonight, it's the turn of the men.

:57:00. > :57:03.Prepare to be dazzled. If you have just sat down, about 7pm back at

:57:04. > :57:07.home, getting ready for an evening on BBC Four, this is what is coming

:57:08. > :57:12.up. Don't go anywhere. We have canoes all in coming up shortly for

:57:13. > :57:16.you. At the same time live on BBC One you can see the semifinals of

:57:17. > :57:21.the rugby sevens. Great Britain play South Africa for a place in the

:57:22. > :57:23.final against Fiji. At 7:39pm, we are being precise here, Naomi

:57:24. > :57:32.Folkard will go in the quarterfinal of the women's individual full cup

:57:33. > :57:36.-- archery. Watch those live now on the Red Button. We will try to show

:57:37. > :57:41.you Naomi's lies on -- the final live here on BBC Four. We will be

:57:42. > :57:44.staying with the women's all-round gymnastics final all evening. We

:57:45. > :57:49.will be viewing the greatness of Simone Biles, they are calling her

:57:50. > :57:52.the best of a female athlete, Great Britain's Ellie Downie also in

:57:53. > :57:55.action in that one and much more to come a little bit later as well. I

:57:56. > :58:00.won't pick everything out for you but don't go anywhere. You can

:58:01. > :58:05.switch to BBC One every now and again but stay with us here on BBC

:58:06. > :58:09.Four. So over on BBC One, Hazel is there at the moment, but

:58:10. > :58:12.confirmation you can watch the rugby sevens, Great Britain's semifinal

:58:13. > :58:16.against South Africa in a few moments' time. The Red Button now

:58:17. > :58:25.has the archery and the women's individual quarterfinals as well.

:58:26. > :58:32.What we are going to do now is go live to the Olympic Whitewater

:58:33. > :58:35.Centre at Deodoro. Matthew Pinsent is going to be interviewing

:58:36. > :58:39.everybody afterwards and we will hear a lot from Matthew, hopefully

:58:40. > :58:44.get David Florence and Richard Hounslow on later on, they have won

:58:45. > :58:48.silver in the canoe double. We saw a gold for Joe Clarke in the men's K-1

:58:49. > :58:53.kayak yesterday. Let's see how Fiona Pennie can go on, going in the

:58:54. > :58:57.women's version, the kayak K-1, she qualified in second place. Can she

:58:58. > :59:03.finish in the medal spots? Let's go to our commentary team of Patrick

:59:04. > :59:06.Winterton and Helen Reeves. COMMENTATOR:

:59:07. > :59:10.Thanks, Dan, we're ready for the start of the final event here at the

:59:11. > :59:14.Whitewater Stadium, the Deodoro has produced the goods. We have a much

:59:15. > :59:20.brighter day, a lot hotter, but it's also windier. Does that affect Fiona

:59:21. > :59:25.Pennie's chances? The best person to ask is Helen Reeves, alongside me.

:59:26. > :59:30.It shouldn't affect their chances. She lives in Great Britain for a

:59:31. > :59:36.start, and we are used to paddling around poles that are moving. They

:59:37. > :59:40.have to learn to cope with it. We know that means they will have to be

:59:41. > :59:46.a bit sharper and looking whether poles are and make sure they give

:59:47. > :59:49.themselves a bit more room than they usually have two. Joe Clarke

:59:50. > :59:55.yesterday was happy to point out that British conditions suited him.

:59:56. > :59:59.It was around 15, 16 degrees and it is not exactly British today, but

:00:00. > :00:03.the wind is here, meaning the gates are moving around and it means I

:00:04. > :00:05.have to take extra care. We saw a lot more penalties in the semifinals

:00:06. > :00:07.and we were expecting.
