Day 6 BBC Four: 22.00-02.00 Olympics

away anything. The jump, slight pause before the free cartwheel.

Just building up. Which dismount will she use? Double Arabian, oh...

Just slightly over of -- overregulated it. Brand-new

dismount, but she went for broke. That's a shame because it was a

great beam routine. We are back on floor with Aly Raisman to see a few

more of her tumbles and goodness me. You can see how much it meant to

her. She took a couple of years away after London 2012 and then really

fought back to get into that team and as soon as she landed that

tumble, just the emotion flooded out. 15.433 is enough to push

Mustafina down into that third position, with one gymnast left to

go. So Simone Biles will wrap up this women's all-around final with

fireworks. This am for gold in the women's

all-around final. The smile says it all. She loves to perform. Double

straight somersault with the twist. Not daunted, enjoying every minute

of it. Double straight with half turn, immediate jump.

Watch this for a third tumble, double twisting, double straight,

only took half a run. One last tumble, to become Olympic

champion. Here it is. Absolutely no doubting.

And what a champion! Finishes with a flourish and there is gold number

two for Simone Biles. Absolutely superb performance.

CHEERING Wow, the adoration and the disbelief

that is going around this arena right now, to witness this. To be

here, to watch that! It was just something else. Well, to watch both

the American gymnasts on floor, they were so positive, so well rehearsed.

And the experience must have been to console said Tutkhalyan, she tried

but it wasn't to be. So it's one and two to the USA and Mustafina will

take the bronze. Which I think she will be highly delighted to come

away with. Just 4'8", but full of power and

it's almost confusing, isn't it, how she manages to do that. You were

talking about that third tumble, Chris, and the power that she must

have, and to keep it going. Yes, and she doesn't need to take long

run-ins to things. She is by a long way the most powerful gymnast I have

ever seen. And doing the most difficult work we have ever seen in

women's gymnastics. To be honest, that floor routine would stand up in

the men's flaws, it was really exceptional work. You can see the

pop -- the disappointment in the eyes of several of the others. I

think Mustafina will be very happy with the bronze medal. She has had

an up-and-down year. She wins bronze here, Aly Raisman, just outside the

all-around medals, the last Olympics but she is on the podium and its

silver for her, and there is confirmation that Simone Biles, with

a 15.933 is the women's all-around Olympic champion. It's USA one and

two Russia bronze. And this is a moment that she will remember all

her life. It's one thing to get gold in the individual apparatus finals,

but quite another, Chris, to the Olympic champion all-around.

Absolutely and not been done for a long time for the current world

champion to then come and be Olympic champion, three times world

champion, now Olympic champion. Really dominated women's gymnastics

in a way we haven't seen for many, many years. And what a display. Aly

Raisman didn't really make the impact she would have wanted earlier

on in the competition, but what a second-half. Yes, she looked a bit

edgy, Raisman, and although she is very well trained, she is very

powerful, she showed she was a little bit human, whereas really

Simone Biles doesn't show that frailty at all.

It will just be huge relief for Simone Biles to come here with so

much expectation on her shoulders. 19 years old. That's only going to

build, Chris, because the media are talking about the fact she could get

five gold medals at a single Olympics, so everybody is going to

be on her back from now. This is two golds already, she can't win the

bars but the other three pieces she could well win. She has posted the

top score all the way around but Russia, they took the two in silver

and now on individual bronze, that's a big success for them as well. And

absolute delight in the USA camp. And really, as you were saying, the

fact that only two gymnasts Donacien allowed in, you know, the

third-place gymnast last night, Gavin Jim -- Gabby Douglas, the

defending champion from the Olympic, she qualified third but couldn't

take part because of the two gymnasts only per nation rule I will

be think there's an argument to allow at least three so all the

medals can be contested for. There was only something like 0.1 between

Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas in that qualification, so it came right

down to the wire, which other gymnasts from the USA was going to

be given the opportunity to get a medal. Yes, absolutely, so I don't

know whether it is something the federation might look at but we did

at one time allow three in, but then it was a bigger competition with 36

and it all round, here we've only got 24. And Beth, as a former world

for champion yourself, you must have enjoyed that routine? It was, I mean

the standard of the floor routines since London 2012 have dramatically

increased, so I'm glad I'm not in this floor at all! I think the top

two have increased but I'm not so sure that they have so dramatically

increased after that. I mean in fact Ellie Downie did very similar

tumbles that you did and I'm just having a little look, she was one of

the highest scorers on floor, so I think the top two are in a league of

their own on floor here, don't you think? They are, throughout the

competition they showed that class and determination. It really shows

how much preparation goes into it. I know that their preparation is very

hard, they do lots of routines, there is no letup on it. Lots of

results come from it, being able to ground -- being able to be crowned

one and two at the Olympics Dane is. This is Ellie Downie's final

routine, she did a really good performance on beam. She has worked

very, very hard and improved fantastically. The front somersault

linked to the jump gives those that 0.1 bonus and this is the skill that

is very difficult and can sometimes be inconsistent but today, not at

all. She held on to the standing half turn, into front somersault.

Lovely split position in her leaps. And interestingly enough, this

routine gave her a total that put her 13th. Her elder sister in

Beijing was 12 DH macro. -- 12th. The very similar series, the

backflip and the layout somersault. She had paused their before the free

cart wheel, probably starting to think about the dismount. She has

used the two and a half twisting dismount throughout the

Championships, but she has been preparing this very difficult double

Arabian and decided she might as well go for broke, so she did. Watch

it, she just didn't come out with quite enough conviction to hold it.

That was one hallmark deduction, but the actual routine was beautiful. --

one hole mark. It seems, we talked about this, she is 17 years old and

taking all of this experience, how do you think that will have affected

her? Obviously she's disappointed because she could have made a real

impact in that top ten especially with everything that was going on

here, but will she be able to take the positives away? I think she

will, the fact she got that new dismount on beam in such a big

arena, she can use that for future competitions knowing she has now

performed under that pressure and knowing how much to give it, how

much not to give it, so every competition she has done she will

learn something from it and then use it for future and she will hopefully

be in Tokyo in 2020. Absolutely, David McDaid is going to put that

question to her now. Let's hear from Ellie Downie. Just tell us your

thoughts after that? Yes, I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly

disappointed with that. I had a really good start on floor and

vault, and on the bars I have missed that dismount all week, it was a

concentration thing, my dismount I have not been able to train it so

much because I hurt my back in qualification. -- in training. I

thought I would go all out today and try the dismount. I have been doing

it for a couple of years but not many times in competition and it

didn't come off today, but the rest of my beam was very good. I am happy

but a little bit disappointed as well. That's your competition

finished. Tellers how your first Olympics has gone? How happy are

you? Mixed feelings, codification was difficult but I was proud of

myself to be on the vault and that's why I'm in the final today, if I

didn't fight then I wouldn't be here today. We didn't get the medal we

were hoping for but it was still really good and today wasn't what I

was hoping for a game but I'm only young, hopefully I have another

Olympics in me and just looking forward to the future now. You and

your family have brought something for your sister asked if she missed

it on Monday, we won't need to buy one called Tokyo for you, you will

be aiming for it already? I won't be giving up yet, I will go home, have

a rest and get back in the gym macro training for next year. Thank you,

goodbye. Thank you. What a well earned rest, but what an all-around

competition it was. At one point Simone Biles was in second! It was

quite surprising, wasn't it? Yes, it was and Mustafina had two strong

pieces and fortunately didn't get the school she wanted which is what

caused her to come third in the end -- she did not get the score she

wanted. I'm confused with what happened with Mustafina on beam. She

missed the first connection which they have to do, it's a set element.

In qualification she had the same problem and on the second attempt

that she tried it with the free walkover, in qualification she went

for the free walk over and then put her hands down, so I don't think she

wanted to make that same mistake again. The rest of the routine was

nice. So it's a difficult decision, do you put that extra connection in

and then missed the floor, or play safe? Was the right thing to do

because in her mind do you think she was going for that silver, or do you

think she knew Aly Raisman have this phenomenal floor? I think it's

different, had she had a great beam she would have been going for the

silver but once she had done beam she may have seen the scores and

thought she could fight for the bronze because she looked quite

dejected after beam but by the time she came out on the floor she had

pulled herself together and knew she could fight for the bronze.

The Americans finished the competition in real style. Aly

Raisman set the bar as far as the expectation in the Rio Olympic arena

was concerned. This tumble is incredible, a one and a half into a

double Arabian and punches straightaway into the straight. Just

the numbers they do, their precision, spatial awareness,

landings, there is nothing for the judges to take off them. It set the

boundaries for Simone Biles to come out afterwards. I watched her coach

when she did this routine. He has worked so hard to get her fit to for

these championships and when she landed the double pike he was

jumping around everywhere. She was crying and he had tears in his eyes.

It meant so much to them. She was just outside the medals last time.

For years is a long time, a lot of effort goes into it and it has paid

off, getting a silver medal. I could watch the floor routine of Simone

Biles all day long. Talk us through this from a world champion's

perspective. She loves performing. From the music starting she had the

biggest smile on her face. How does she get that lift? ! I have no idea.

She has far too much energy. She needs to share it out, to be honest!

Her spatial awareness to do the second tumble with the half turn,

straight into another jump. After she had done that it was like, OK, I

have two more tumbles. This middle section, she is basically playing to

the crowd, getting them involved. The smiles are there. She loves her

gymnastics. She enjoys performing. Not just on the tumbles does she get

the height, even on the jumps and the leaps, she gets height. For this

tumble, double twist, double back. It is tough, anyway, and to get that

height... I competed with that, my first tumble, having to save my

energy for it and she does it in the middle. It shows how easy it is for

her. Look at that! Again, plenty of time to have a look and see where

she wants to put her feet. I'd love that finish. What a character. You

can see the five gold medals glittering in her eyes. The

appropriate leotard with the stars and stripes. Every single skill she

does is textbook. Every coach will be looking out that saying, this is

how we want you to perform it. Well, that just sums up what is to come

here. Ten individual apparatus finals as far as men and women are

concerned and we have great interest. We have the floor, beam

finalists. Pommel horse finalists. This will be on Monday. Are we going

to see the first ever Olympic champion for Great Britain in

gymnastics? I hope so. Potentially we have a chance to create history.

Wenger 's cross. We have a two pronged attack with Louis Smith and

Max Whitlock. What will go one in the next few days as far as they are

concerned? They will work on the routine. They will go for a harder

routine. Making sure they get the extra element comfortable in

training and then to go all out in the final. Join us on Monday to see

what happens when they go all out. Let's keep everything crossed and

hope for the first champion for Great Britain on pommel horse.

Goodbye. We are still here. That was amazing. Incredible from Simone

Biles and thanks for the texts and tweets. Justin says Simone Biles is

the Queen. Another says what an amazing performance. Inspiration.

Daisy says, wow. Marco says Simone Biles is fantastic. Congratulations

to Simone Biles, the best gymnasts we will ever seen. That is probably

up for discussion. We can show you more of her routine because it's

worth recognising how good she has been. Since she became a senior

gymnasts, let's look at the results. When she became a senior, second,

first, second, first, first, first, first. First, first, first. First,

first, first. Surprisingly, first, first, first, first. In her last 14

all-around competitions she has finished top on every single

occasion. That is why she is the best in the world. Two gold medals

out of two. A lot of people watching are saying that is not the last gold

medal we have seen from her at these Games or even across her career.

Even if you are not particularly into the gymnastics, you have

enjoyed watching one of the world's best this evening. Look at the

photographers. These are the pictures you will watch and see on

your TVs as newspapers tomorrow. Incredible. This floor routine, I

will not joke with you, I do not know everything about gymnastics,

but even I, as a Luddite, can look at this and say she is truly

incredible. She is four foot eight. Her coach said yesterday she can

learn in three days what it takes some people a year is to learn and

that is other professional gymnasts. The final tumble, she is actually

twice her own height off the floor before she lands it. I think we can

see her getting her medal. We can go back to the Olympic arena. That is

Simone Biles in the middle. About to receive the gold medal for team USA.

They are already top of the medal table. Her coach said yesterday she

is a pleasure to work with and she can learn so quickly what others

take so long. Beth Tweddle said the beam is ten centimetres wide and on

occasion she is performing tumbles off the beam that others perform on

the floor. That is the extent to which she is better than some of

those around her. The rest are top five, top ten in the world, and yet

she is so far clear of others around her. She has finished well over 60

points in the last five, taking gold medal on every occasion. She is the

all-around champion. We can hear the national anthem of America. Ladies

and gentlemen, the anthem of the United States of America.

AMERICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS. CHEERING.

Simone Biles, Olympic champion in the women's individual all-around.

Russia taking the bronze medal. And I will read from Matthew Pinsent,

himself a four-time Olympic gold medallist. He says winning by

country Biles! We have been on the gymnastics for quite some time. We

can remind you what else has happened. These are the headlines.

Silver medal for David Florence and Richard Hounslow, the same as they

did in London in the canoe doubles. Also a silver medal for Katherine

Grainger and Vicky Thornley in the double sculls. Hopefully they will

join us later live on the beach. What a semifinal for Team GB's men.

After beating South Africa we will see them take on Fiji at 11pm,

probably on BBC One. We will keep you posted on that.

Andy Murray is safely through to the quarters of the men's singles

tennis. Johanna Konta is sadly out after losing to Angelique Kerber.

GB women's team pursuit have set a new world record in qualifying for

the semifinal. We are going straight to the boxing

because Team GB Representative Pat McCormack, light welterweight, is in

there. His first fight of the games. Taking on the boxer from Kazakhstan.

Ablaikhan Zhussupov. This is the first round of preliminary action.

The opening bout for these boxes. They have had a long wait to get

their campaigns under way. The British representative who just

landed a good left hook. Ranked 18th in the world, Pat McCormack. His

opponent is an immensely talented 19-year-old, Ablaikhan Zhussupov of

Kazakhstan. Not ranked in senior rankings but he brings a glittering

set of credentials from the junior and youth ranks. Not a bad start for

McCormack. He is against a Seung Ju -- a southpaw.

It has been a good start for McCormack. Patient boxing from him.

Against his opponent, he cannot afford to make mistakes. He is

staying well balanced, patients. A good right hand. This is how he has

to box in the first round. Plenty of thought in these forward forays from

both boxers. McCormack just fell short. The reigning European

Championship silver medallist coming away with second placed finish in

the tournament in Bulgaria last summer.

He qualified for this, his first Olympics. He gets tagged with a good

southpaw left to the body by Ablaikhan Zhussupov, who qualified

by coming first place in the global qualification event in June. A

first-place finish in the Asian and O'Shea Arnie continental

qualification event. A couple of choices when throwing the right

hand, Pat McCormack, he has to get his Leeds leg into distance, find

the rage, throw the shot, otherwise he falls short. Or he waits for his

opponent come forward and close the gap. Bring him onto the shot as he

comes forward. That was better. Ablaikhan Zhussupov made a mistake

when he came forward and McCormack punished him. The left hook and when

he got back into position, landing a right-hander. Suddenly, the boxing

stance of Ablaikhan Zhussupov becoming dishevelled. A good

conclusion to the round by the man in blue with Pat McCormack landing

eye-catching punches at the end of the first round. A clever display

from McCormack. We can listen to Dave Alloway. Maybe lead off a

little bit more. Dave Alloway saying maybe lead off a

little bit more, you are quicker than him. Dave Alloway wants him to

beat him to the punch. He can lead off in the form of the feint. A good

display from McCormack and he has got it, two scores to one. I agree

with that. Round two. We move into the second

round, a very good round of boxing in the opener, shaded by Pat

McCormack. The man from Birtley boxing club, which is proving as be

such a hotbed of talent for the GB squad at the English Institute of

sport. His twin brother Luke started the programme, as is Cyrus

Pattinson, an outstanding boxer at 69 kilograms he just missed out on

an Olympic about it. Plenty more on what is becoming a conveyor belt

from that club as well. All in the mix or on the cusp. Callum French

another one. At crouching right hand, that was a wonderful lead

right out of the Orthodox stands and the teenager was forced to retreat

on unsteady legs. A super shot, playing it cool, McCormack but if

you make a mistake he punishes you. Tremendous stuff, good boxing from

McCormack but fast reactions. Mention a glittering career that

Zhussupov has had at the junior and youth ranks, I was ringside to see

him win his youth Olympic Games gold in 2014. That same year he took

world youth championship gold, the year before that, world junior gold

in Kiev. In the Ukraine. He has made a seamless transition through to

senior boxing, but meeting a really accomplished operator here in the

form of Pat McCormack and so far the man in blue is providing a puzzle

that he's finding difficult to solve. Very good boxing so far from

Pat McCormack. Excellent judgment of distance there from McCormack. He's

edging in but he won't go over the front foot, because if he goes to

close he will get caught but by moving forward the way he is an

occasionally he is an occasionally he's making his opponents lead off

and that's what he wants them to do. He's going forward and once

Zhussupov to lead and he will come back with a counter. Clever boxing

from McCormack, brilliant. Good right hand underneath from McCormack

and a straight right hand to the body from the man in blue. Both

these men part of the strongest boxing programmes in the world,

that's the wonderful lead left hand by McCormack and getting to work

with the right hand. Both men members of teams made up of

identical compositions, a full condiment of men across all ten

waits for both Kazakhstan and Great Britain and two women as well, good

left-hand by McCormack before he pivoted off in the same direction.

It's important he holds his ground and doesn't allow Zhussupov to push

back. Finish on the left hook, and again, super punch, McCormack. Good

boxing skills. Continuing to disrupt the attempted forward movement of

Zhussupov is McCormack, that right-hand proving to be a

particularly effective shot in that regard. There it is once again, the

arcing variety and along left just before the bell. Another very good

round and look at that, the Mackems on tour! The lead cheerleader behind

that illustrative flag. Zhussupov coming forward but making mistakes.

McCormack crashes that right-hand though. It's a clever display from

the Birtley boxer. Because he is patient, he's bringing his opponent

on to the punch and he is staying out of range. He gets caught there

with a shot book would boxing skills, clever display. I'll be

amazed if he hasn't won this. Across the board, there you go, rightly so,

a perfect scoring for McCormack. As well as Richie Woodhall to my left

we have the Olympic gold medallist, and Trophy winner from Italy,

Patrice Oliver in front of us and he's liking what he's seeing from

Pat McCormack. Round 3. Into the third and final round and Pat

McCormack of Great Britain, the 18th ranked boxer in the world in a

really commanding position. He's taken a second round across the

board. He leads by two points on the court judges AMC, it's all square

for Judge B after that observer gave the man in red the opening round --

he leads by two points on the cards of judges a and C. Zhussupov needs a

massive round to get back on terms. He needs to do something different,

he has to up the tempo, his corner will have told him. He's a

counterpuncher himself so he doesn't like going forward, the fellow in

red, but he has done and will walk on Timor-Leste talks like that,

again perfectly well timed shot from McCormack. A terrific display from

Pat McCormack. These two boxers are so well skilled if you make the

slightest mistake they punish you and that is what is happening here.

Zhussupov is making the mistakes and its McCormack that is punishing him.

Got through the good southpaw left a couple of moments ago, the same shot

in evidence against Ron Zhussupov so McCormack will have to keep his wits

about him here. He would love to do that to send a message to the rest

of the light welterweight division, being very much a man in form has

McCormack picking up the European Championships over last year. Lost a

terrific content -- contest to Joe Cordina in the Commonwealth Games in

the first preliminary round, a contest worthy and it was a

right-hand success for McCormack and in World Series boxing for the

British Lion Herts, with no vest, Pat McCormack was named the regular

boxer of the regular season, so impressive were his displays. He

made a mistake there, McCormack, coming forward. Missed with the

right hand and walked onto the left. This contest is not over yet, just

under a minute ago. He is winning it but he has to concentrate here. To

get over the line. It's a good performance up to now, but he has to

keep it going. He has to focus and concentrate, every second of every

round, it is so important. We mentioned the underage success that

Zhussupov has enjoyed. A good right hand from McCormack once again. Pat

McCormack went over to Kazakhstan and came away with world junior gold

in 2011 at 50 kilograms, that gives you an idea that this is an

immensely talented individual. Graduated through to the senior

ranks and what an impact he is making. Really impressive Olympic

debut against a very published boxer. He has been composed, he has

been controlled. These ten second clapper indicates he is on the cusp

of going through to the second round of the 64 kilograms light

welterweight tournament. There is the bell to conclude a terrific

display from the man in blue. He led by two points for judges A and C,

Callum French leading the cheers in the stands again but having

progressed through we have to wait for initial confirmation of course,

the 19-year-old Catholic boxer is disappointed but he has been beaten

by an accomplished display from Pat McCormack but more about the second

round at the moment. A fantastic display, look at that reverse 1-2,

he follows through with a left hand. It was a clever and well disciplined

display. I think that is the word, it was a disciplined display from

McCormack. He stayed at range well, he he leads with the right hand and

finishes with the left, he kept it going. He never came over his front

foot. He boxed against a tricky southpaw but he didn't make mistakes

and wasn't punished. McCormack stayed well balanced, a terrific

performance. We had a great performance from Joshua Buatsi

earlier today and that didn't equally because Buatsi knocked his

opponent out but in many respects that was up there with it,

tremendous stuff. Nice to see the handshake of respect between the two

boxers. Let's get the official announcement. Ladies and gentlemen,

the winner by a split decision... In the blue corner... Chery-macro Pat

McCormack all smiles as he opens his Olympic campaign with a split

decision victory over a really talented boxer from Kazakhstan, 2-1

on the scorecards but it was a wonderfully impressive display,

delight from the fans, the stands amongst the fans. That's how he did

it, a 3-point margin of the advantage for judges A and C, a one

point margin of advantage for Beat, but that McCormack are really

impressive performance on it won't get any easier in the light weight

well to tournament because waiting in the second round as the

tournament number two seed and that is the Cuban, the tournament number

two seed, former World Championship medallist and he is the man that

awaits Pat McCormack after that terrific display.

STUDIO: That shows you how things should

work so Pat McCormack goes through and we will hopefully get reaction

from him later. Still loads of texts and tweets for Simone Biles, we will

hear from her as well, if you have just turned on your telly and you

are watching back home now, Simone Biles is the new all-around Olympic

champion and she was truly outstanding. We will get an

interview with Simone Biles from gymnastics a little bit later as

well. Let's show you exactly how things will pan out for the rest of

the evening on BBC Four. We have some wonderful sport lined up for

you including a bit of rugby sevens coming up very shortly. We will show

you the bronze medal match between South Africa and Japan. Live on BBC

at 11pm will be the gold medal match which we will seek Team GB take on

Fiji. Fiji has not in their entire history won an Olympic medal, so

they are guaranteed one, whether it's the silver or the gold, Team GB

just squeezed past South Africa 7- -- 7-5, an amazing semifinal and the

final should be cracking viewing as well. We will see Josh Kelly in the

boxing ring at 11:15pm and plenty of badminton coming your way at 1130,

including Chris and Gabby Adcock, probably Team GB's best bet for a

medal and Kirsty Gilmour in the singles, and if you are watching

last night we will show you the men's individual gold medal match in

the table tennis. We saw the women's last night, we will see the men's at

about 1:30pm -- at about 1:30am. On BBC One at the moment you can see

the track cycling, it started today. The team pursuit, Team GB's women

have broken the world record. The men's just missed out on the team

pursuit world record in qualifying for the semifinal. The team pursuit

codifying taking place now on BBC One. Over on the website and the app

we have fencing for you. I'm sure many of you got into that the other

day. A friend of mine said he was obsessed by fencing for at least 43

minutes, when Richard Kruse was in action, live fencing on the Red

Button and the sport app. Mentioning how many of you are

talking about Simone Biles, it is getting windy down here on

Copacabana. Gusts of around 55 miles an hour. If you see some paper

disappearing, don't be perturbed! We have as much as we possibly can

strapped down. Thankfully in the Rio Olympic Arena there was no wind in

there because it was clearly covered over. Simone Biles in the same

conditions for everybody else managed to produce some incredible

performances to take the elliptic title in the all-around women's

title -- the Olympic title. We saw yesterday Kohei Uchimura do it for

the men, Simone Biles has dazzled us with her performance and we can hear

from her now. Well, Simone, you are all smiles now

but there were a few tears out there, as well, tell us what this

all-around Olympic gold medal means to you? It means the world to me

because I've been training so hard for this and even though I've been

to World Championships I knew I had done it and to tonight I knew I had

done it, but then I realised the importance of it and it got to me.

People look at you once you make it look so easy but you do put a lot of

work in, don't you? Yes, we do. We do have a day off tomorrow but then

we go into training for individual events. Are you aware of how Biles

mania is taking off because I know you have had tweets from Zac Efron

and Taylor Smith, what it's been like for you? -- Taylor Swift. It's

amazing, very cool. Will you be tweeting Zac Efron tonight? Only if

he tweets me first. Thank you. Thank you. Are very happy Simone Biles,

understandably. I promised we would get reaction from the boxing. Let's

go back to the ring and hear from Mr McCormack, who was successful. What

has he got to say for himself? A great fight, you dominated in the

Olympic debut. Definitely, over the moon, I couldn't be more rugby. And

through to the next round. What was the difference there? I saw a big

right hand from you in the second round. Did you know you had it from

there? I was catching big shots, I wasn't being caught with anything so

I was buzzing. When you won that about the place here erupted. Why

has your support come from? The atmosphere is unreal, I have my twin

brother, Michael Mates, the full GB squad watching and supporting us.

How much has it helps you question might over the moon, I can hear the

voices come and shouting advice so that's good. The Cuban second seed

next, how do you go about preparing for that? I will beat him again. I

like boxing southpaws. He's one of the best in the world. I remember

watching him at the last Olympics and thinking how good he was so I

can't wait to get in there and beat him. All the best for the next

round, see you soon. Off goes Pat McCormack. As

promised... Stay there! We will do rugby sevens now. Team GB involved

in a match against Fiji. Right now we will show you the bronze medal

match between South Africa and Japan. We join it at kick-off and

Sir Clive Woodward and Eddie Butler are your commentators.

Can they now surprise one of the rugby world's giants. South Africa.

Penalty advantage to South Africa. Their playmaker, Cecil Afrika gets

through. A good off-load to Smith and Smith

is away. John De Jong will score the first try of the semifinal. -- Juan

de Jongh. An ominous start for South Africa. Very direct, very powerful.

This came from Cecil Afrika with the clean break. Undoubtedly the

strongest South African seven. It surprised me in a couple of games,

including against Team GB when the coach takes everybody off. A good

start by South Africa. This is a big game. Coming forth, there is nothing

worse in the Olympic Games. I would be surprised if this seven do not

stay longer than we have seen so far. Ten minutes each way in the

final, as opposed to seven at every other stage.

Lomano Lemeki. One of their playmakers. Goya. Japan have the

put-in. Juan de Jongh and Rosko Specman. Not

big players. But they were very physical side, South Africa. The

backs, Juan de Jongh and Rosko Specman, causing a lot of trouble.

-- Roscko Speckman. That is a big loss, the Jack -- Japan leading try

scorer. A big loss to the Japanese team so

Goya feeds, and quickly. Goya makes a few yards but this is a

slowly -- slow-release for Japan. Speckman clear and a second try for

South Africa. Japan have lost their playmaker and they are down by two

drives. South Africa looking formidable. Speckman on a street.

Wonderful footwork. Disappointing for Japan. Little chance when you

have this fellow running down. A wonderful player. Cecil Afrika with

the conversion, it should be a formality. South Africa will be

disappointed, having played against Team GB. Surprised he did not keep

his seven on longer. Played into the hands of the British men. So far,

Japan have not really touched the ball, four minutes into the game.

Cecil Afrika adding the simple conversion.

Sending it towards Lomano Lemeki. A high tackle.

Another penalty advantage. This is the captain.

Another penalty advantage. Japan have a real chance.

Great Britain when two dries up against Japan and then beat them by

only two points. They will play and play. Their fitness levels are high.

-- tries. South Africa just dropping off. Hope you get is not one game

too far, the Japanese. A simple knock-on. Giving the ball

to this very talented South African seven. Cecil Afrika in his preferred

position. A sudden change of direction with Juan de Jongh outside

him. Penalty to South Africa, this time.

High tackle. Some of these high tackles...

I really don't think that is... I am disappointed with this. They have

been given strict rules but we are playing the same rules as 15 aside,

and that would not have been given in 15 aside. I disagree with that

decision. Speckman has had a great start, throwing the ball in here. Up

goes Smith. It has gone a little wild. There is a strong wind. South

Africa are playing into it. Japan with the kick, the penalty at the

breakdown. A rare error by South Africa. They do compete so

aggressively for the ball, when it goes to the floor after the tackle.

Interesting, the Japanese in the last line-out, they did not seem to

compete when the South Africans threw in the ball, which I hate to

see. At this level you have every chance, in the abbreviated game, in

completing the line-out. It will be Goya to throw in. Let's

see the South Africans compete on the Japanese throw. They didn't! Won

by Japan. Away comes Lomano Lemeki. A penalty advantage. A good angle.

Kuwazuru scores Japan's first try. I am pleased to for Japan. Scoring

absolutely brilliant, Kuwazuru. You have to go back to the line-out and

South Africa did not compete. You have to compete in every part of the

game. 30-year-old Kuwazuru, captain of Japan. How proud he must be the

way his team have come to this Olympic Games. I am pleased for

Japan. It would be great to see Japan do something special in this

game. They have done amazingly well so far.

Goya with the extra two. I would love the competition to

restart. Lomano Lemeki, the Japanese playmaker has kicked well. Let's see

if he can get onto the ball and win the ball back for Japan. The clock

paused while Kuwazuru sorts out his boots.

Dylan Sage. First chance, over half way. Players across the park for

South Africa, including Speckman?. What a beautiful sight. Cecil Afrika

adjusts sprinting onto that ball. Putting a beautiful pass into it.

The Japanese do really well. Look at the speed of the ball coming back.

This is what I love, forward, two hands. Textbook. Specman?,

beautiful. A great conversion by Cecil Afrika.

The half-time whistle has gone and a commanding lead for South Africa.

Interesting watching these teams. Every team has a good starting

seven, especially Team GB. We started our last three games with

the same seven which is proving dividends. We seem to be better

keeping the start team on the field. South Africa make a lot of changes

and it has cost them. Specman, a beautiful pass. South

Africa, 21-7 up. They look pretty pumped in the huddle. Keep your same

team on, Coach Powell. They are the same for the moment. I

wonder if they slightly underestimated Team GB this morning.

It was a big mistake because it is a very talented British team. Put

together by Simon Amor. I cannot wait to see them have a crack at

Fiji in a few minutes. Cecil Afrika, downwind.

And even cleaner break now, Kazuhiro Goya, Dylan Sage in hot pursuit but

Goya scores for Japan. The South African As underestimated Japan in

the first half. They won't now. Wow what a great try by Goya. This last

week they have been amazing and Japan doing so, so well. He did

really well, and this is brilliant. How good is this for Japanese rugby,

knowing the next Olympic Games is in Japan and will be seen -- and we

will see the seventh reach a new level and the next Championships is

in Japan so to see them beating big teams like New Zealand, scoring

tries like that against South Africa is wonderful to see. Game on, seven

points and eight minutes to go. Nine minutes to go nearly. Will settle

for eight and a half. One converted try separate the teams. South

African captain Kyle Brown collects. Dylan Sage, back to Cecil Afrika,

who lets Philippus Snyman take it. An excellent tackle by Yusaku

Kuwazuru. Cheslin Kolbe is on, there is a change. Cecil Afrika clean

through the middle and strolled it in.

It say let's get on with it game. He's not a big man but his power is

fantastic. What an athlete, what a credit to the Olympic Games. This

guy can walk around the Olympic Village and compare himself with any

athlete in any sport, just fantastic to watch. They needed that, Japan

just coming back into the game. It puts them two clear scores ahead.

South Africa 28, Japan half that number. I think this may belong to

you, Cecil. You talk about the Olympic spirit and it is therein

sport, I hope it's always there, it's certainly there in the rugby

sevens, there's been hardly any incidents throughout the six days.

Don't say that! There hasn't. Japan watch it bounce, I think they

thought it was going out on the full. As it is, it will be a

Japanese throw-in. There will be disappointed with that, let the ball

land and then go out was a big error.

Won by Soejima. It's gone forward. The South African doesn't play any

less powerfully. What a wonderful sight this is on the screen, seeing

these tremendous athletes at full tilt. Katsuyuki Sakai to feed the

scrum. Those posts are not far away, they have a long distance to travel.

Sakai held up by Cecil Afrika and then planted on the ground.

Excellent pass, what a pass to Walker. From Hano.

That's excellent wrestling work from Justin Geduld, he's won it back for

South Africa and he's away again. Cecil Afrika. No sooner had Japan

got themselves back into the game, then they see it go well away from

them. Two tries by Cecil Afrika, South Africa over 30. You see the

gap, it Speckman who is so good over the ball, the Japanese, that is why

Cecil Afrika is so good he sees the space all the time and knows exactly

what's going on there. I think it's amazing how they took this player

off against Team GB, you see him play now and it's complete

domination of the game with Speckman and putting the game out of sight

with just four and a half minutes to go. What a kick. Brilliance by Cecil

Afrika. Five tries, five conversions.

Now you can load your bench, the game is won. The bronze medal is

won. The bronze medal is one. Not definitively. That's better by

Japan. Yusaku Kuwazuru saw him. That must have been high again on Kenki

Fukuoka by Kwagga Smith. Japan work it across the field

beyond the hands of Soejima. They have another penalty. The referee

helping them out now. I don't think there was much in that contact.

Right on halfway and Lemeki has come away again. Cecil Afrika outside

him, try number six. A wonderful try. Cecil Afrika. A

little bit forward, but the game is over here. South Africa are worthy

of the bronze medal. Winners, ultimately they'll be disappointed

not to be playing for the gold medal in a few minutes' time. Japan have

to take great credit. For the last three days they've been tense seed

and to make the last four is fantastic. -- tenth seed. Amazing

how many kicks have hit the posts in the last three days. A change of

kicker, Justin Geduld takes it because Cecil Afrika is off for a

breather. What have Japan got left? It's been a long, hard final for

them. That's an excellent pass out of the tackle although they couldn't

quite get a pass off Soejima, not 11 that went backwards anyway. A

straight sprint up the patch for Roscko Speckman, a hat-trick of

tries for him. It's been a game too far for Japan. They have contributed

hugely to this tournament, the best ever seven aside tournament but

they've been taken apart by Speckman, Cecil Afrika. Again, I

love seeing these guys run. Disappointing quarterfinal, you want

close games. This match isn't. South Africa have been excellent but this

has been a game too far for Japan. Justin Geduld adds the extra two two

spec man's third try. -- Roscko Speckman. Is being the excellence of

South Africa, I don't want to be harsh on Japan, the excellence

especially of Cecil Afrika has been outstanding. You know, the number

two team coming into the tournament and they are showing why. But they

are playing for third place. Dylan Sage, back on. The hat-trick hero of

the final, Roscko Speckman. Position for Goto. So close by

Cheslin Kolbe. It might have been a try to go beyond 50. Have we seen 50

in a game? We have once, haven't we? I don't know the answer! I don't

think we have, I can't recall. That is so unlike Japan, they have

been a little bit loose. Penalty to South Africa. They have one chance

to hit the 50 mark. Deliberate knock-on by Teruya Goto. The French

referee, just to make a long, hard final even more miserable. Sometimes

a bit of sympathy from the referee, I don't think the spirit of what has

been a great tournament, that that was necessary.

Where is the gap? He can make them go wide, surely there must have an

overlap somewhere. They do, it's Cheslin Kolbe and it's a

half-century of points for South Africa. He's doing his best to make

the conversion easier. Very impressive South Africa, well done,

a little bit disappointing to be honest as the quarterfinal. You

really want tight games and I promise you this next game, the

final for the gold medal, will be a tight, close game. Cheslin Kolbe, a

little bit of trickery to the very end, a little bit of deception.

Justin Geduld, the very last act of this bronze medal final.

52, or 54, 54 it is. The final whistle is blown by the referee and

there is a somewhat muted celebrations by South Africa, so

comprehensive has been their performance. Japan 14, South Africa

54. Welcome back to a rather windy

Copacabana on BBC Four. South Africa have won the bronze medal in the

rugby sevens, beating Japan who I suppose provided the upset of the

tournament back on day one, when they managed to see off New Zealand.

South Africa take the bronze. The gold medal match is over on BBC One

right now if you'd like to watch that, see if Team GB can get the

better Fiji, who will win their first ever ever Olympic medal but

will it be silver or gold? We will go elsewhere, to the National Tennis

Center and bring you some live tennis once again. Andy Murray was

in earlier -- in action earlier on, we showed him winning, seeing off

Fabio Fognini and deciding set despite being a breakdown at one

point. He hasn't had much of a rest, he is back on court with the mixed

doubles alongside Heather Watson. They are taking on the Spanish pair

of Carla Suarez Navarro on David Ferrer. We will join after Team GB

are a setup, we will go back to Centre Court and your commentator is

Simon Reed. Commentator macro three games all

here, we have had four successive breaks of serve, two against the

women, two against the guys. Andy Murray has just been broken, it is

three games each, the first set was 6-3. Murray and Watson looking good.

That good. They got into the draw because of the withdrawal of Monica

Niculescu and the other Romanian, they got the chance, delight for

both of them. So far, they are taking advantage.

Ferrer had a disappointing singles when he lost in the second round.

They are beginning to play really well in this second set.

They have been onto the Soares Navarro serve consistently, have

Watson and Murray. Watson finishing off there, good return from Murray.

They have a chance to break again, 30-30.

After the pressure she is under, this will feel like a break of serve

if Carla can hold here. A bit of a brain freeze from Soares

Navarro. -- Both of them got through to the

Mixed Doubles draw on a single seeding.

Murray rang two, Heather, 66. Which is why they had to wait for a

withdrawal before they got their place. But eventually it came. Some

powering home there. Murray knew what she was going to do

and they have break point on her serve again.

And there is the break. They have had five successive breaks of serve.

Heather Watson's serve coming up is absolutely crucial. That is the

British contingent. Over on Court number four, Jamie Murray is playing

with Johanna Konta. She lost early today. That was in the match against

Angelique Kerber. Quickly out in Mixed Doubles. It looks like they

will be quickly out of the match. They trailed by a set in the second

set. Jamie Wilby out. Remember, he and Andy lost early on to the

Brazilians in the Men's Doubles. The pressure is on Heather. If she

can hold here, they are very nearly through.

Still very breezy. Not as windy as earlier on when Andy Murray played

against Fognini. But still, pretty brisk.

This, of course, her first mixed match since she won at Wimbledon.

Wonderful for her. What a bonus this is.

Great serve. No one enjoyed it more than Andy Murray.

Really well played. Another terrific serve and backed it up well.

Heather Watson and Andy Murray, they were unsure whether they would be in

this Mixed Doubles and now one gave away from the second round. The

second round in Mixed Doubles is the quarterfinal.

Andy Murray racing in after his return.

Close, but I think it did miss, and so does he.

UMPIRE: The ball was good, replay the point. That is tough on the

Spaniards. It was called out, overruled. Not challenged.

Andy Murray was quickly in. A fine return from Watson.

Murray was so alert, sniffing the chance. And this is match point.

O! Some way to finish. What a day it has been for Andy Murray with a

considerable win against Fognini and now he and Heather Watson are

through to the quarterfinals of the Mixed Doubles. A terrific scrap.

Look at the smile on Heather's face. They may have been late entries, but

they could be important entries in the Mixed Doubles. Just an hour and

six minutes it took. A number of breaks in the second set, but Watson

and Murray are through. 6-3, 6-3. STUDIO: A great win in the

Mixed Doubles. Earlier, we promised you boxing. Josh Kelly is involved

in his second-round fight in the welterweight division. Let's go back

and pick up with the commentary team of Richie Woodhall and big Ron

McIntosh. We are in the 69

kilograms welterweight division and this bout is between boxers from

Great Britain and Kazakhstan. The man wearing red is Joshua Kelly, 22,

from Sunderland, competing in his first Olympic Games. This is his

second contest. His opponent is the number-1 ranked boxer the world. A

hugely accomplished boxer. This is a

slightly different type of southpaw. A little busier. The world number

one. Poke some props in that jab. Mr Kelly cannot afford to make any

mistakes. If he falls short is, he will catch him.

He found his range immediately, despite having a lengthy wait to get

his second Olympic campaign under way. Both boxers want each other to

lead first. That was better from Daniyar Yeleussinov. Josh Kelly has

fast feats. He has to work harder, throw some more shots, maybe lead

off with the jab. Terrific use at the seat by Yeleussinov. Firing off

punches of his own. Kelly was adept to evade many of them. A cracking

right hand and Kelly forced a touchdown. That was a terrific right

hand out of his southpaw stance. Kelly came back with a right hand of

his own. Unfortunate not to have been given a count. The momentum

took him down. He was on the front foot going forward.

Kelly has to do more. We has to lead off a little bit more, faster,

sharper. He will have to up the pace, Kelly. A very good round of

boxing in the opening bout of Rio 2016. By Yeleussinov. Let's listen

in. Relax yourself and trigger him off, will stop trigger him off,

exactly. He wants the feint. Yeleussinov beating Kelly to

the punch. That was not too bad. 10-9 across the board in favour of

Yeleussinov. The number one in the world.

Into the second round we go. It's a wrap rapid start by Daniyar

Yeleussinov, who has helped himself to the most basic combination of the

book, a 1- to out of the southpaw stance, and another moments after.

He's going to be busy, busy, should I say, Kelly. You heard Dave Alloway

sacred hymn off, so he wants the feint, he wants to try out to draw

the lead of his opponent and go back with the fast counter, if not beat

him to the punch. You mention the fact this is the second Olympic

tournament for Danny Lai Yeleussinov, he was a

quarterfinalist at 64 kilograms four years ago. The lead legs come

tantalisingly close together. He lost to the opponent who took

Olympic bronze and he followed a year later with World Championship

gold in his homeland of Kazakhstan. A good left hand once again from

Yeleussinov. A silver medallist from the most recent edition of the World

Championships. A tangle on the inside, reflected just how dominant

Yeleussinov has been. He has been the male elite boxer of the year in

recent years twice, 2013 and 2014. He really is one of the very best in

the business. A good left hand to the body from Kelly. But that gives

you an idea of the size of the task in front of Josh Kelly, ranked

number seven in the world, and he has to try to get itself back into

this contest after conceding the opening round unanimously. He has to

do a bit of work, Kelly, and at close quarters he has defined the

room and the space. Yeleussinov is well 11 as you can see why. Very

clever on the outside, working away with the jab. Fast with the counter

also. Just stays a range, plans his attack and waits for you to come

into punching range and then he will beat you to the punch. Occasionally

this Counterattack. Just as you were about to throw a shot he beats you

to it. He has fast reactions. He's a good kid, this fellow in blue. But

this is the Olympics. This is the biggest stage of all for Kelly. He

has to produce the performance of his career here.

Ustinov looking to progress to the quarterfinals for the second time in

his Olympic career. Wonderful right jab from Yeleussinov, stopped Kelly

in his tracks. Kelly has to reset, regroup, and come again, but again

he is made to pay a heavy price, a sharp right left combination

knocking the man from Britain off-balance. He does his good and

better work at mid range, Yeleussinov and when they come

together, he holds on. It's a good round again, I think from the

Cadillac boxer. That's why he raised his right hand and that's why

there's the distinctive Kazakhstan flag being raised in celebration in

the stands. A terrific round of boxing. From the number two seed.

Fairly comfortable there, the pace has suited up. That's a long left

hook from Kelly. That wasn't too bad at all, but we need more of them.

Yeleussinov is more direct with his work, a great 1-2. Kelly comes back

again with a shot but gets caught in at close quarters, look at

Yeleussinov here with the laid-back just to ride the punch, take the

power away. Again, Yeleussinov takes all the scores. So now, Kelly needs

a 10-8 round across the board. He needs to put his man down, probably

to knock him out to get the win here to be honest. Round 3. Going into

the third and final round, the status of the scorecards means Josh

Kelly needs a huge round or perhaps the punch of a lifetime, because he

has conceded the opening two rounds unanimously against the number-1

ranked boxer in the world, the reigning World Championship silver

medallist, the man who took World Championship gold in 2013. So it's a

two point margin of advantage for all three judges in favour of the

man in blue. So Kelly has to pull something out of the bag here.

Kelly is so talented. Qualifying for this, his first Olympic appearance,

the world qualification event in Baku. His mouthpiece has come out so

that will be rinsed and replaced. It's why Yeleussinov has retreated

to the neutral corner. Yeleussinov clever there, you don't want the

inside. Just holding on the blindside of the referee,

experienced man indeed. He couldn't get his left arm free to work

because of that. Good bright- left combination and

Kelly is discombobulated once again, knocked off balance. As to resume

his boxing stands and that left hand out of the southpaw stance has been

a really profitable punch for Dan Li la Ustinov. -- Daniyar Yeleussinov.

He has a fistful of domestic titles as well. Oh, my goodness, that is

naughty from Yeleussinov. But it's Kelly who gets the ticking off for

turning his back on his opponent. He is made to miss considerably here as

he launches a speculative shot, Kelly. Now he needs a knockout

punch. He has defined it in the second half of this round. He needs

to pick himself up, Kelly, I think he is feeling the pace a bit as

well. The zip has gone out of his work. It has with both of them, to

be quite honest. From Kelly that's a bit better but he has defined a big

shot, he has to plant his feet and whip one over, try to hit the

target. It's difficult, Yeleussinov very clever on the back foot,

difficult to land a clean power shot on this opponent. Most certainly,

it's been such an arduous qualification routes through to this

Olympic Games for Joshua Kelly, suffered a hand injury after the

World Championships last year and while rehab from that injury was

living the life of a regularly young man, out on the town with his

friends, he had to work hard to get his weight back in check, there's a

good left hand from Kelly, and here he is at the Olympic Games and the

look of the draw, he has drawn a real threat for Olympic gold in the

second round of this Olympic tournament after a terrific run in

the first round against the Egyptian.

Desperately trying to find that shot, with every punch. Back into

the breach once more, good right hand on the bell but the punch

resistance of Yeleussinov proving sturdy. And over in the red corner,

well, experienced operators in Garry Hay land Day Valley Way, Josh Kelly

will know he has been bested. By the number one ranked boxer in the

world. But what an experience. He completed right up and all the final

bell in pursuit of the knockout punch. Absolutely, you can't fault

him for the effort he put in in the last round. He really went for it,

caught Yeleussinov with some good shots, some good work, with this

tricky Kazakhstan boxer. He was clever, a bit of lip service there

from Josh Kelly. But Yeleussinov, lovely right up there. He gave it

everything, Josh Kelly. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by unanimous

decision... In the blue corner... CHEERING

The Kazakhstan supporters are absolutely delighted, because one of

their strong contenders for Olympic gold, Daniyar Yeleussinov, the

number one ranked boxer in the world, the tournament number two

seed, has progressed through to the quarterfinals at the expense of

Great Britain's Joshua Kelly, than -- the young man from Sunderland

gave it absolutely amazing. He ran up against a man who hit the ground

running and in his first rounding -- in his first outing in Rio in 2016

but he has lost all three rounds from all three judges, 10-9 in each

of those rounds, Josh Kelly. It was a bruising battle. What did

you make of your performance? I enjoyed it, I performed better than

I did the other day. I gave everything I could, that's all I can

do. I have done everyone proud, hopefully. I can see you are still

gasping for breath now, you left it all in the ring. It was a technical

fight, you have to be switched on. It was a good fight, I can't

complain. I have an won at the end of the day. What will you take away

from this Olympic experience? Experience. Coming out and boxing in

front of a crowd and stuff. The support has been amazing back home

from everyone. Just like being with -- dealing with the pressure and

stuff. I felt comfortable. What is next? I don't know, we will see what

comes, see what happens. But hopefully I'll keep enjoying the

sport and keep progressing keep going. Will we see you in Tokyo in

2020? You never know, I will have turned 22 so plenty of time. You

never know. All the best, Josh. Cheers.

They are brilliant reminders, aren't they, of how hard our athletes work

to produce the goods when it comes once every four years to the Olympic

Games, a little shot of Jessica Ennis-Hill, could we see a repeat of

Super Saturday this weekend? The athletics starts and then we have

Greg Rutherford, Mo Farah and so many opportunities for medals. There

have been medals throughout the day for Team GB, we will update you on

that, good success on the cycling for the team sprinters as well, we

will bring you the headlines later on. In the wee small hours of the

morning in the UK, 1:30am your time, we will show you the men's table

tennis singles final. Last night we showed you the women's and tingling

of China saw off her compatriot to win gold and the men's final will be

between 2-macro Chinese, Ma Long and Zhang Jike. We have been to study

China's long history in this event, this is a fascinating look at the

politics of ping pong. Table tennis in China is more than

just a sport, it's a national obsession. It is found everywhere,

even in the vast rural hinterland or here, off and Main Street in

downtown Beijing. The guys' technique is incredible. Think

football, cricket, Dickens and the Beatles and add them together and

you will have some idea of how central table tennis is to modern

Chinese consciousness. It was here in Tiananmen Square in the mid-19

50s that the little white ball first started rolling in red China.

Chairman Mao decreed that table tennis was to be the sport of the

masses. But this was not part of the public health programme but a

straightforward political calculation. Chairman Mao reasoned

that if hundreds of millions took up Batt-macro oddball, China would

conquer the world, something that would bolster his leadership. He was

right. In 1959, a Chinese man is astonished the world by becoming

China's first world champion in any sport. He was succeeded by a man who

won the next three titles. Chairman Mao hailed his players are icons of

revolutionary virtue, making play-off the fact they used a

distinctive pen holder grip where it is held between thumb and

forefinger, a technique used to this day by the older generation. This

was table tennis with Chinese characteristics and the masses were

mesmerised. But then in 1967, something wholly unexpected happened

when the white ball came to an abrupt halt.

here at the national training centre the team received a letter saying

the sport had become a Bastian of anti-Maoism. They were sent off to

begin two years of hard labour. They were the lucky ones. The first world

champion and two couches were put -- two coaches were put under house

arrest and tortured. All three committed suicide. In 1971, Chairman

Mao allowed table tennis bag of the world stage and again the

consequences would be extraordinary. At the World Championships in Japan,

a coach befriended a player from a Maracana and pictures of the

handshake were printed in the press, leading -- from America. It led to

an invitation. Richard Nixon called it the week that shook the world.

Ten months later he followed in their footsteps. On behalf of the

government of the people'srepublic of china has extended an invitation

to President Nixon to visit China at an appropriate date. Ping-pong

diplomacy mark the first step of china's re-engagement with the

world. But the most curious episode in their table tennis history was

yet to come. Once again China surrendered global domination, but

not because of politics but because of this blonde Swede, who

transformed the dynamics of table tennis with audacious spins. China,

who still held to the pen holder technique, could not keep up. It

took Deng Xiaoping to liberate table tennis. Allowing players to keep

some prize money and to give up the pen holder style. This player, one

of the new breed, revolutionised the technique when the ball was hit with

the Riverside of the back. Perhaps the greatest irony was that Sydney

Olympics, when this player defeated the ageing Swede to win one of the

most hypnotic finals of the last half century and this ball will for

ever define this extraordinary nation.

I am sure you will agree it is a fascinating bit of telly, which sets

us up nicely for the men's singles table tennis finals at 1:30am. We

will not be able to bring queue all of it but you can continue to watch

it on the Red Button. Guess who is back. They are there. The circuit

trainers. Unfortunately, Antony Worrall Thompson is not with them.

We have had an Antony Worrall Thompson lookalike the last few

nights. Ladies jumping over the cones. A remarkable pair of

trousers. I am not sure what she is doing. For those saying, go and join

in, we are serious broadcasters on the BBC. We cannot partake of

circuit training while bringing you the latest Olympic news. Which is

what the Wii will do. A busy day. Day six in Rio.

The headlines. We had a gold medal for Team GB in the team sprint in

the Velodrome. A fourth Olympic title for Jason Kenny and a new

Olympic record for the boys. Also an amazing performance from

Simone Biles and team USA in the all-around gymnastics within's

final. We showed it to you on BBC Four and she by some distance was

top of the tree. Sadly it was not to be a gold medal

for Team GB but Fiji have won their first Olympic medal. Gold medal for

Fiji in the rugby sevens, beating Great Britain 43-7 will stop there

was a silver medal earlier for David Florence and Richard Hounslow in the

canoe double, as they did four years in London.

Also silver for Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley in the double

sculls. They just lost out to Poland. They were ahead with two

metres to go but delighted with their silver medal after a difficult

build-up to these Games. We also have seen a world record for

the women in the team pursuit in qualifying for the semifinals.

Normally at this part of the night we like to run through some of the

tech and comments and questions you have sent. -- texts. We will do that

later. We have badminton. The first time we have showed it to you on BBC

Four. Time to have a guide to the wonderful sport.

Badminton was included as an official Olympic sport in Barcelona

in 1992. In singles and doubles the line nearest the net is called the

short service line and if the server does not reach this line it is a no

is served. Service in singles can be played as far as the back boundary

line between doubles players can only serve as far as the long

service line. There are five events at the Olympics of each match the

best-of-3 games and the winner of the game is the personal pair who

reaches 21 firsts. If the score is drawn at 20 points lead, the pair or

person gaining a two point lead is the winner. If it reaches 29-29,

whoever scores the next point wins. The server begins from the right

service court, serving diagonally. If the server wins the point they

will serve again but from the left. If they lose the point, service

passes to the opponent. There are four main types of shots.

The serve, the lob, the drop shot and the smash.

Please can take many forms and can be played with the forehand or the

backhand. The serve can be low, high, flicked, but must be played

when the shuttlecock is below the player's waste. China is the most

successful badminton playing nation at the Olympics and in London they

won a gold medal in every competition. In fact, no other

nation has won gold in the women's competition since 1996.

This is where Chris and Gabby Adcock find themselves. They have been

drawn in an incredibly tough group. We heard of the dominance of the

Chinese. They are in with China, Denmark and Poland. And we will show

you their first game. Taking on the top two from this group. It is a

round robin. Taking on the pair who won silver. Team GB one set to the

good. And your commentator is Simon Reid.

Quickly in on the serve. A big guy. Six foot two. Quick to see his

opportunity. More and more pressure from the

Adcocks. A huge bit of luck. Probably feel

they are due some. Nothing Chris Adcock could do about

that. Good defence from Chris and Gabby.

Once more seizing the moment and they are back in front.

No wonder he clenched his fist, he was all over the court, was Chris.

Forcing the mistake from Xu. Serving well. Few opportunities for

the Chinese to attack the serve. Keeping it really tight.

That was better from Ma. From the full force of Chris, a well

manipulated reply. It is only the second point they

have got on their serve. Getting a little frustrated with herself will

stop but not long afterwards, the winning smile.

So strong in the legs. So light on his feet.

Again, precision play from Gabby Adcock. Keeping the serve tight.

Very few opportunities to attack. This is a really good, healthy spell

from the Brits. Quarterfinalists in the World Championships in Jakarta

last year, Commonwealth Games gold medallists.

Did really well, awkward shot. Xu Chen had no chance there. A 3-point

lead restored. They were just looking at each other

there, Xu Chen and Ma Jin. I think starting to look very promising for

Chris and Gabby Adcock. Get shorter and we can go for a

little bit, when they were picked in its fine, when they play a flat,

come off, that's good. You are doing good. Take your time between points,

keep pushing. Everything going according to plan

for the Brits. Married three years now. They say

their partnership on the court was long before their partnership of

court. -- off court. So there is really any blame. A very fresh

partnership on court. That was better from the Chinese,

working much more as a team. Showing that they are not a spent force in

this match. Still an awful lot to do to rescue it. They have been not

comprehensively outplayed but definitely it's the Brits who have

been on top. If that doesn't help their cause,

the odd mistake from Xu Chen. They are working so well are the

team are the Adcocks, probing for the opening. Chris just launching it

at Ma Jin. This is their biggest lead. In the

second game. Tricky to take, very well directed

from the Crow one. -- from Xu Chen. There's going to be more of that. He

has to take some sort of control now.

That is a bad miss, a huge opportunity there. To restore that

5-point advantage. They thought the shuttle was

wobbling. The referee is not having it, so we

continue, 10-13. That's well played. Starting to edge

and nibble into this lead now. Ma Jin playing an awful lot better

frontcourt. Shots that he wasn't missing in the

opening game just starting to go astray, so the lead now down to one.

Well, unfortunate, she played that rally so well did acrid to. -- did

Ma Jin. Really homing in on it. She was there, the flick off the net but

nothing doing. How quick he was, so light on his

feet, then the devastating power to finish.

Second time. Gaby has been called, the waist high serve.

They are attacking the server. -- attacking the serve.

Saw the opportunity. Crunch it down between them, but it didn't happen.

This is a good recovery from the Chinese, who looked in a perilous

position. It's now 15-15. Just being told that he is able to

change the shuttle if he wants, but he has to let him know straightaway

way to avoid any delay. It's nip and tuck in this second

game. Ma Jin read that perfectly, on her

way back as the serve was listed towards her. They came here on level

terms. -- the game here on level terms.

Miss read that, did Gabby. She wants a new shuttle as a result.

The Chinese hit the front for this first time in this second game.

There's a chance therefore Ma Jin, but in the end it wasn't close and

it's back level. The Chinese are three points away.

To take it into a deciding game. Xu was too quick. They really have

worked better in the second game. Two points away now.

A great return. They are not out of it. Taking this service point here

will be a huge help. Such a clever shot. It was set up

well. That smash. Lovely technique from Chris Adcock. They are level

again. Now they are two points away from victory.

Oh, yes! He had to twist his body to get to its. But brilliantly done

from Chris Adcock. And it is match point.

Ouch. The first to two points ahead, now.

Yes. Could not release sees on the advantage they had. It is Xu who

puts it away. -- could not really see.

Just away. They fought valiantly, the Chinese. They looked out of it.

They will change around in much better spirits now. That cued drop

shot, but it did not work. It is one gay beach.

-- it is one game each. Over on Court number one, the number four

seeds, a point down, 18-17. Winning the first game 20 1-18. It is very

close. All of the matches in this group will be close.

But they really were getting their act together in the second game. One

or two clumsy mistakes in the first, but out of the system in the end

there. The sweeping of the court has

finished and we are just about ready to go for this deciding game between

Chris and Gabby Adcock. The world number sevens from Great Britain.

And Xu and Ma. The Brits have led in both games so

far. They will be hoping for the same here.

No, not quite. Not quite working at the moment for Chris Adcock.

This matches beginning to turn around now.

The Brits have got to stop this little run. Momentum is switching to

the Chinese. Two going through in each of the

four groups, a different setup from 2012. The controversy, eight players

disqualified after being accused of playing Toulouse to manipulate their

place in the knockout stages and get favourable draws. They have reject

things. -- to lose. There will be none of that here. Far from it.

Super play. That was a terrific smash. Must've

just got the line. There is a review system. Two challenges per game. The

Adcocks choosing not to use one of theirs there. Strength from Gabby

Adcock. A few more points they are picking

up directly off the serve. The Chinese looking very healthy.

Suddenly, Xu is controlling a lot of these rallies.

The lead is stretching very quickly now.

They just cannot get a run going these two.

Gabby Adcock so sharp, quick to see the opportunity again. That

dynamically. -- dynamic leap. She really was bossing things early

on in the front court. But finding it difficult now.

I think he was not sure whether it was going out or not. More concerned

with the geography and getting the return in. -- van getting the return

in. A huge smash. Shots like this

measure faster than the Grand Prix. When it comes down from that height,

almost impossible to deal with. Just doing enough to make it

difficult. Did well here to recover. Just could

not bury them early on in the point. Still four points adrift.

The Chinese wanted a break but they were told to play.

Really an impressive sight when he gets a high. So much spring in his

step. The lead is down to three now. In panic when they went 8-2 down.

Still very much in this match, Chris and Gabby Adcock.

So, a new shuttle. A couple of points directly on serve would be a

great Philip for them. Chris and Gaby have won just a

couple of points behind their serve. We'll get back on that game, push

too hard, they get flat and we'll react. The first movies get the

block in first, down the sides then he starts with the new. A bit of a

tight serving, compete for the shot, OK? Make sure we get right of the

court this end when they press you. Type serving -- tight serving. First

objective. Getting right tied up the court. Pressing as much as they can.

Again, too much on it from Xu Chen Ford Gabby to be able to deal with.

The lead goes to five. It's been as high as six. Looking very healthy

again. Stranded there, nothing she could

do. It's not a great return on the lead

is back up to six now. It's going to need something monumental from these

two to rescue this game. Gabby setting it up with that little

short shot, then the athleticism of Chris comes into play.

Chris will be disappointed with that one.

The did that. A bit of fortune, can they capitalise on it? Get run going

here. Put some real pressure on the Chinese number twos.

It is tantalisingly close now for the Chinese.

Just a few errors now creeping in to the Brits' game.

That 5-point cushion restored. Very nearly home.

Yes. If they are going to review it. It looked like it was going out, but

it didn't really have the legs on it. This might well be in but they

are using the review system for the first time. A review system that has

been in play for three years now. A couple of challenges allowed each

game. This was close enough for them to want to get involved. Have they

been successful? It looked like it might have got the line. And it did.

They really need a run of points on serve. It's just not happening.

The energy seems to be going out of them. Has the chance come and gone?

A sleight of hand, the movement there from Chris Adcock, and the

lead down to three. So close. But now they are two

points away from taking this opening match in the group.

A bit of indecision and here are five match points. For the Chinese

number twos. There it is! And they came back very

strongly after a difficult first game, where they were

comprehensively outplayed. But they got their act together.

Disappointing start for Chris and Gabby Adcock. Still two more matches

to be played, remember two from the group will go through to the

quarterfinal, but that's not an auspicious beginning in what has

been called the group of death. They are going to have to do very well

now to survive, they have to win both their matches. Not beyond the

realms of possibility, but the first much goes to Xu Chen and Ma Jin,

13-21, 22-20, 20 1-15. I hope you enjoyed a bit of

badminton on BBC Four. Do not forget we have table tennis coming up a

little bit later. It's very strange to be down on Copacabana at this

time of night because it's unbelievably windy for about two

hours, then around about this time and it is, hold on what time is it

here? It is 8:45pm here and the wind dies down at this time of night and

the paper that was stopping around on the desk has gone very quiet.

We'll bring you up-to-date with all the news here on day six of the Rio

games. We have plenty of sport before I'll finish at 2am, but so

much has happened today, so here are the day six headlines.

Gold in the team sprint for Philip Hindes, Jason Kenny and Callum

Skinner Team GB, a fourth Olympic title for Jason Kenny at the trio

produced and new Olympic record. We have seen real magic from Simone

Biles at the all-around gymnastic women's final, the American produced

a gold medal winning performance. Britain's Ellie Downie was 13th.

They are going wild in Fiji at the moment after their rugby side have

won their first-ever Olympic medal in any sport, gold in the men's

rugby sevens. Silver Ford Team GB, who were well beaten in the final

43-7. Silver also in the canoe double Ford David Florence and

Richard Hounslow, the same medal the 14-macro years ago in London.

Katherine Grainger and Vicki Thornley won silver in the double

sculls. They were not even meant to be at the Olympics a few months ago

and now they are silver medallists. And there was a world record for

Laura Trott, Joanna Rowsell Shand, Elinor Barker and Katie Archibald in

the women's team pursuit qualifier. They sailed through into the

semifinals. This is what you can watch at the

moment. Team GB have scored in the hockey over on BBC One.

0- 01. Team GB women unbeaten so far. And Japan taking on Belarus in

the bronze medal match. We will take the gold medal match in the table

tennis a little later. I'm just something about Katherine Grainger.

An incredible story. She won a gold medal in London and silver medals in

previous Games. She is now, if we were American we will say the most

winningest. Five medals in total. On the negative side of these Olympic

Games. Two stories to bring you up to date stop a Bulgarian

steeplechaser who ran in London has tested positive for EPO today. A B

sample is to be tested. And a Kenyan coach has been sent home after he

posed as an athlete and gave a European athlete that the athlete.

The retired sprinter was caught when his face did not match the

photograph. The Kenyan athletics associations say they did not

facilitate his travel. And a senior source says the unnamed athlete, who

is shook up about this, apparently allowed the coach to use

accreditation to get food in the athletes' village. When they said

they have to test on a random drugs test, for fear of being exposed, the

coach went along with that, they found out it was not the athlete,

and he was thrown out of the game. We do not know what the truth is

that we will try to get to the bottom of it. We will still receive

your text messages and tweets. We will read some out before we finish

at 2am. Just seeing a fellow jogging away in the distance. It is always

busy on Copacabana Beach. Horrible weather yesterday. Much better

tonight. The circuit trainers are back. Look at the lady in green,

jiving away. Still no Antony Worrall Thompson. If he comes back, we will

get to the bottom of why he wears that top. Maybe it is Antony Worrall

Thompson on holiday. We can bring you up-to-date with sailing. There

have been six classes. We can bring you up-to-date with everything that

has happened with Shirley Robinson. A lot of action out today including

three British sailors hoping to defend their gold medal spots

including Nick Dempsey, the men's windsurfer. Dorian arrived early to

set up for three races. The Dutch gold medallist would start the day a

single point behind the British series leader. Dempsey arrived last

minute, and when he got going, he was still on firing form.

Race seven under way for the men's windsurfing. Nick Dempsey of Great

Britain leading. Working hard to earn shout. Nick Dempsey approaching

the windward mark. He has the breeze and he certainly has the speed. Nick

Dempsey of Great Britain, he is on the right hand side. Wilhelm of

Germany coming back from the left. There is the Netherlands

sailor. Dorian van Rijsselberghe. This could add points to the buffer

between first and second. Nick Dempsey of Great Britain working

hard. He has closed the gap to Wilhelm of Germany. He, -- he feels

the pressure from Dempsey. Look how close the race has become. Looking

good for Nick Dempsey. I do not think the German counterattack. I

think Nick Dempsey is pushing him out. More breeze coming down, the

bottom of your screen, that is what Nick Dempsey is hoping for.

Interesting tactical adjustment. You would never see a short tax putting

like that that Nick Dempsey obviously saw that. And he thought,

I will step up. He is screaming along at 14 knots. Fantastic sailing

by Mick. Nick Dempsey takes the lead after a tactical move and

overhauling the German. One small, down to the bottom. Germany finding

good breeze. Wilhelm of Germany trying to roll over the top of Nick

Dempsey. Great Britain answers with furious pumping, trying to keep the

board going, trying to hold off the damage. Nick Dempsey working hard,

trying to reel in the German sailor. Wilhelm answering, extending away.

And now the jibe from the German sailor. Nick Dempsey does not let

him cross ahead. On top of Germany to try to hold them off. Germany and

Great Britain locks into a battle in the closing stages. Toni Wilhelm of

Germany was leading. Nick Dempsey beat him on the up wind leg. But on

the run, Germany getting their revenge. Toni Wilhelm working

incredibly hard through the boom and managing to sail through the lead of

Nick Dempsey. Toni Wilhelm snatching back the lead from Nick Dempsey, but

Dempsey very close. Trying to position the board windward of the

German. Toni Wilhelm is happy to say a low, working the red card. Nick

Dempsey trying to work over the top. Both boards at the moment not quite

laying the finish. Toni Wilhelm of Germany managing to pull away from

the British sailor. Taking back the lead in race seven and Germany

crosses the line. Great Britain in second. Nick

Dempsey finishes race seven in second place. A fantastic final

battle right to the line with the German and he has every right to

feel happy. The tables turned in favour of the

Dutchman as Dorian van Rijsselberghe row race eight. Nick Dempsey finish

fifth. Advantage Dorian van Rijsselberghe for the first time in

this Olympic Games. Nick Dempsey pumping his way, trying to get here,

struggling to clear the back. Not a lot of breeze in his rate. Dorian

van Rijsselberghe has done a superb job on the top breach, taking first

place, while great British hopes with Nick Dempsey slip to nine.

It would always come down to somebody and Dorian. He is the man

to beat. Today I lost points on him, which was frustrating that it is

brilliant to still be in the fight and tomorrow it will be a case of

staying in touch. On the Ocean course, Giles Scott had a faltering

start but recovered to finish his fifth race 11th and then slotted

home a win to maintain the overall lead overnight. It looked like a

mixed bag. I was frustrated with it. I have to be happy with coming back

and winning the second race, which is great. Extended overall, but

equally, you look at everything and analyse everything and it was a

simple thing. It has undoubtedly cost me points, which is

frustrating. That being said, I am in a good place. The British mixed

pair continue and encouraging story, sharing the lead with the Austrians

last night. Tonight, it is an Australian duo who won two races

today and sit on equal points with Ben Saxton and Groves. Saskia Clark

and partner currently sit in bronze medal position. Luke Patience and

Chris Grub are currently in sick. Thanks for that for getting in

contact on BBC Four. I will get that bottle of water away! The wind is

back. Steady on! Thanks for getting in contact to say you are staying up

late to watch Olympics coverage on BBC Four. H says he is only watching

to see if Antony Worrall Thompson turns up. Another says, I am sorry

to say that Antony Worrall Thompson owns the pub round the corner from

me so I am not sure he can be in Rio at the same time. Maybe that is why

he is not on the beach, maybe he has gone back home to run the pub! Many

questions need to be answered! Ben Eaton enjoyed the badminton, almost

as much as watching Simone Biles in the gymnastics. Thanks for admin

term after some idiot called it shuttler earlier on. What did

Matthew Pinsent said when Simone Biles won? He said one by -- won by

country Biles. We are going to pick up on some archery we showed you

earlier. We showed you Naomi Folkard's earlier rounds are now we

will show you a quarterfinal. A tough test for Naomi Folkard, taking

on the South Korean, the second seed who has already won the team gold

medal stop this is a sport in which the South Koreans are incredibly

dominant. If it is the first time you have watched archery, we will

show you all you need to know. Archery appeared on occasions before

becoming a permanent event in 1972. The arrows reach speeds of around

140 mph. During competition archers must stand 70 metres from the

target, which is 1.2 metres in diameter with ten rings of values

between one and ten points. The ten points ring is at the centre with a

diameter of 12.2 centimetres. There are four event that the Olympics,

individual and team competitions for men and women. It is split in two

phases with the 70 metre ranking that determines your place for the

head-to-head competition. For the individual, archers compete

over five sets of three arrows The person with the highest score

at the end of each set If scores are tied, each archer

receives one point each. The first person to reach six points

is the winner. In the team competition,

there are three minutes to compete Six arrows per set,

two per team member. They have two minutes to shoot

all six arrows. The first team to reach five points

wins and progresses to the next stage in their quest

for Olympic medal places. Let's show you the quarterfinal.

Commentary from the Sambodromo comes from Charlie Broome.

For card the lowest ranked archer in this quarterfinal, seeded 23. And

she has opened with a seven. She can ill afford any loose arrows like

that. They need to be all in the gold, really, because if Chung does

drop off, then she can take advantage. Here she needs a ten just

to draw level. The number two seed has a 1-point advantage. Coming into

the final arrow of the first set. So, there is a chance here for

Folkard to tie it, but she needs a ten. So, Folkard behind in this

quarterfinal already. She has lost the first set 26-25, and Chang

Hye-jijn is two points to the good. She has had a lot of success in

recent times, winning in the Asian games 2014, Asian champion 2015, a
