Day 6 BBC One: 00.00-04.10 Olympics

Hello. Welcome back to the Copacabana Day 6 of the 2016 Rio

Games and stand-by, we could be witnessing yet another great

sporting moment this evening, as Michael Phelps goes for his 22nd

Olympic gold medal. This is what is coming up. So Great Britain has won

four medals in the pool so far and two British women go into the final

of the 200m breast stroke. It is an all-American clash of two Olympic

heavyweights they go head-to-head in the 200 metre individual medley.

High winds expected in Rio and inside smashes of 250mph expected as

badminton gets under way. British No. 1 will be in action. The

Scottish player Kirstie Gilmour will play. She won the last three

meetings. It has been a whirlwind for Great Britain's women's hockey

team. They are loving Brazil. They have booked their place into the

last eight and tonight they take on Japan. So, this is how we are lining

up tonight. You are used to this by now. Settle in on the sofa. Have a

day off tomorrow. Tell the boss I said so. Tomorrow woe will see

badminton with R ajiv appearing live. Kirstie Gilmour gets her

Olympic badminton campaign under way just after 1. The men's table tennis

match. This will be brilliant. Big GB clears for Chloe Tuttonand Molly

Renshaw around 2:17. The headline, Phelps very Lochte coming up. Well,

there is no doubt the man of the moment, the star of the show so far

of Rio tienction is Michael Phelps. Let's take a closer look at the

American man of steel. COMMENTATOR: This is surely his

first. The gold to Michael Phelps. Gold to the USA. The Olympic

champion on the men's 200 metre individual medley. Michael Phelps of

the USA. COMMENTATOR: Can Michael Phelps go

eight goal in eight days? Michael Phelps, a stunning swim! C'mon,

Michael Phelps! Oh, 1.42:6. Michael Phelps what a supreme effort.

Michael Phelps will become the first Olympian to win ever 10 gold medals

and he does! Four golds, four races, four world records. USA are going to

take the gold medal in this men's 4 x 200 metre relay. Michael Phelps

there. Five goal in five races. Still on the eight straight. Another

gold medal. Six golds, six world records in six days. The guy is

invincible. Michael Phelps is coming back. Is he going to get the touch?

No, he is not. Oh, no! He's got it. He's got it! Eight days, eight gold

medals, Michael Phelps is the greatest. The gold in the men's

freestyle goes to the USA and Michael Phelps becomes the greatest

Olympian in history. The great Michael Phelps has just won his 20th

Olympic medal. Michael Phelps, I have got to tell you have just won

his 17th gold medal! It is gold to the USA. That is the end of Michael

Phelps and where does he finish? He finishes right on top! His 18th

Olympic gold medal! Unbelievable from Phelps. His 19th gold medal. A

true champion. Oh, my goodness, he's so close. Phelps has won. He's won

four in a row. The firstswimmer to do it in history. He's cruised to

another gold medal. He is the greatest of all time and he is

unbeatable. Well, it really has been a pleasure to witness all of those

gold medals, hasn't it? He is an absolute phenomenon. Let's talk to

the Olympic bronze medal ist Steve parry. You raced against Michael

Phelps. I don't want to be harsh, Steve. What do you take of the

story? What happened? Looking back to my time in 2004, I mean I

remember beating him up to about 35 metres to go, but this is the thing

about Michael Phelps. He just never quits. I remember getting goose

bumps down my spine and just thinking to myself, you know what, I

am going to take this guy apart but he just gets to turn it on any time

he wants to. I remember at this point here, it felt like there was

an elephant on top of my back and this is where Phelps is brilliant.

He broke the Olympic record there and got another gold medal. The

scary thing is he was just embarking on his journey at this point. He was

only 19 years of age. Very nice memories, though, Jason. Steve, when

we look at many sports, you see a superstar come along and then you

wonder if you will see another one in 10, 15, 20 years, man or woman,

will we ever see another swimmer like Michael Phelps? People said

that about Mark Spitts when he got the seven gold medals. The scary

thing about Michael Phelps, not only has he had one Spitt moment. He's

had three. He's won multiple gold medals at at least three Games. I

probably believe there will be a man who will win multiple gold medals,

but they won't repeat it Games after Games. This guy is unreal,

especially at the age of 31. Steve, what has been interesting going

through the American papers online, such is the popularity of American

football and soccer and basketball, what has been interesting is

swimming is getting an awful lot of coverage because of Michael Phelps.

So much so. It is getting close to 8:00 at night. The swimming finals

don't even start for two hours. The reason for that is because of

American television. Such is the power of Michael Phelps they want to

change the times that the swimming is on, so we are all staying up late

here to witness these achievements of Michael Phelps. It is very rare

that they cut through the big four sports in America, but this fella

can do it. What I like about his story, it is not just the sport,

there have been a great deal of trials and tribulations he's had to

deal with. It is great to see him come out the other side. We are

talking about Phelps and Lochte but a lot of talent. Two young girls.

Chloe and Molly - I am hoping one of them can get a medal. They are

absolutely on fire. If they do get a medal, we already have had our best

swimming Games since 1994. It will obliterate everything we have done.

It will be a great might in the pool, but I think the headline event

is Michael Phelps v Ryan Locht, two superstars of the sport. That is

Steve parry there for us at the Olympic Park. Now to the hockey. It

is not just Michael Phelps, the women's hockey team are loving

Brazil still at the moment. They still have one more match to play

after the clash with Japan, but they still have one more match to play

after the clash with Japan, but they got off to a great start. They beat

Australia. Perfect start. Japan yet to win a game. The coach Danny Carry

are hoping that GP women can continue their remarkable run. They

won a bronze at London 2012 of course. Melanoma is part of our

commentary team and he's at the Olympic Hockey Centre. Good evening

to. You it has been a fantastic tournament so far. The ladies have

played absolutely fantastic so far. I was lucky enough to catch up with

a few of them after the Argentina game. They think they are playing at

50-60% so the signs are looking really positive. And touch

competition to come, though, because you are looking at if Great Britain

do, indeed, qualify, there are some real tough teams in the other pool?

There are. The most important thing is if you miss the Dutch in the

quarterfinals and if you finish top of the pool, you won't meet them

until the final. The way the new format works it is positive for the

game and it could boil down to a game against the USA. Melanoma,

thank you very much. We will talk hockey later on. Now, let's turn our

attention to badminton. That competition starts today. You can

expect around smashs of 250mph. Let's show you what has been

happening right now. So we will take you to Rio Centro for some live

badminton. It is the best of three games. Best of 221 or a lead of two

points. First group match. Yusef is expected to reach the knockout

stages. Let's see how Rajivis getting on.

COMMENTATOR: Good pressure. Good pressure on the front court.

He's played that shot well around the head reverse angle on the smash.

He brings that shuttle down well. He needs a few more to get back in this

game. That one drops in. An error in

judgement. Judging the attacking clear on that occasion.

That is good play. Stepping forward and following his shuttle in.

Smashes down the line and one or two steps and he is into the net. Good

movement. Very clever play. He has got six of

them, Ouseph. That one goes wide. The show great

variety in those closing points. She shows. A very distinctive type of

player. I was trying to get across but I

couldn't really... I just try and hit it to the middle. Get it into

the middle. He is not hitting 100%? He has only cleared at once. He is

getting into a bit of a habit of looking at and spinning. If you can

mix it across his body and take it out, that would be right.

The British coaches talking about taking it away from his forehand,

mixing it up. There is Koukal 's father, who is his coach.

Interesting chat at the break between the coaches and player. It's

good to hear what the coaches are saying in terms of tactical advice

to the players. The British coaches were very happy with the first set.

Just keeping the control, managing the play from the front of the

court. That's a terrific overhead. All his

athletic skills on display there. Into position very quickly. Nice

around the net. Reverse angle, across the court.

Just going wide. He is going to challenge that one, Koukal. Just

wide. I think it was just wide. We will see what the challenger umpire

has got to say. -- challenge. Just wide of the line. Challenge

unsuccessful for Koukal. Two challenges per game. That is one

gone for Koukal. They haven't relayed through at this

point in time but I think he has got the message now.

Frustrating wait for the players, needing technology to advise the

umpire when we know the outcome. They are obviously not getting the

same communication as we are getting.

Another Nat Lobb, just wide of the line. -- net lob. The challenge from

Ouseph this time. We will wait again to see what happens. The Challenge

System has been embraced well by the players. They have to be careful and

when they use them seeing as the only have two per game. You have to

be quite confident about how you think about the call.

Just wide. Your first thoughts, 100% correct.

Again, the players have to wait that decision to relayed to them.

-- for. Again, the instant reviewer relayed to us but it's not quite

getting through to the man who counts, the umpire. Quite a long

delay for the athletes. Waiting for this challenge review to come

through. In situations like this, the players

need to keep their focus, they need to keep their focus on what their

strategy is because it is quite a long delay between the review of the

challenge and the actual decision being related through to the umpire.

In those circumstances, a much quicker process than this. This

delay can be unsettling times for the players that they need to make

sure they do keep their focus on court. -- but they need to. They are

telling us now about the actual challenge was successful. We didn't

see that on our replay, we must have got a different view. Or a different

court, perhaps. Lovely angle on the net. Control

from the bandh called by Ouseph. He has continued where he left off.

Angling across court. Great control across the front court. Placing the

shuttle well. Good deception, to guide it across court. Really

getting his opponent. To cross the front court. -- full stretch across

the front court. Easy put away. He commanded the

middle of the court. The man from the Czech Republic. Brings things

back, trailing 3-5. A tight one, that one. It has

dropped in, I think. No, it hasn't. The call was out from the other

lines person. Some very close calls early on in the second game. At one

going long from the back of the court. Good judgement by Koukal.

A couple of times, he has anticipated the Serb really well,

has Ouseph. -- serve. Is some reason, Koukal thinks the shops are

of the word go is going to catch Ouseph out and it hasn't been

successful. -- the shots from the word go. That angled shot has worked

a treat him this match. -- in this match. He's brought forward. It has

been very effective indeed. Brilliant across court. The best

shot of the match, isn't it? A delightful shot. Powerful whip

across court. Nicely played. Nicely done by Koukal. Nicely into

the back forehand side of Ouseph. Put away easily across court.

Beautiful angle across court. Not a bad way to bring up the mid- game

interval. He shut it down beautifully into the open court. He

goes into that break with a nice 6- point cushion.

Court two, 20 seconds. Court two, 20 seconds.

Rajiv Ouseph commanding the scheme, as he did in the first. -- this

game. That is a really good to get front

court from Koukal, which kept him in it. -- good get.

That one going wide. You can see where Ouseph is trying to take up

the top court position. He is trying to dominate at the front of the

court. He's moved his base in a little bit. He is directing Koukal

around a little bit. If you look where his base is, he is trying to

move around a bit. Going long again. Great play again. Really controlling

from the front of the court. Not allowing his opponent to get the

shuttle behind him. Nicely done by Ouseph. Moving nicely back the

finish that shuttle. The shuttle drifting out the back

again. Koukal is picking out a lot of his points when the shuttle

drifts out when Ouseph moves to the back of the court. Good judgement.

He just needs to manage that lift a little more. Off the racquet of

Koukal. He just can't get any momentum going in this second game.

It may short circuit any challenge he has on Ouseph. A couple of errors

and suddenly it is an 8-point spread and the writ marching towards a

straight-games victory. That one going long. He did well to get his

body out of the way, Koukal. That has gone out. A brilliant pick

up by Koukal. Nice defence. Very quick hands. Well reacted to the

shuttle there. Talking about that speed of 400kph, the shuttle was

just hurtled towards the Czech. Somehow he fashioned a reply. Again

out the back of the court. Some errors off the racquet of Ouseph.

Still trying to press, still trying to keep that front-court pressure,

but he needs to control it. Variation, maybe some blocks would

be the way to go. Another one in the overhead. So a good run of points

for Koukal, but coming off the errors of Ouseph's racquet.

Body language changing between the two. There is light at the end of

Koukal's tonne neling in the second game. That is a -- Koukal's tunnel

in the second game. That is a better hit. You have got to take control

and wait. Nice slice across court. Nice cut on

that smash. Very steep and very hard for Ouseph to control it. Koukal not

going away just yet. He is hanging inin this second game.

Ouseph now only two points away from taking this match.

He does that shot, the body smash, very effectively. A change of

shuttle. Koukal wants a change of fortune and very quickly. Five match

points. He's saved one. Nice around the head

smash. He's played that very effectively through the match.

Perhaps wanting to slow down the tempo, Koukal. % ration right from

the court. Still match points for Ouseph. Another one saved!

Nicely done by Koukal, just taking the front of the court there to a

nice net roll, getting the short lift.

Pre-match point saved. A couple to come.

There it is. Fourth time lucky for Rajiv Ouseph. 13th seed with a

confidence-building win in straight games. These two have had a bit of

history. Great sportsmanship. Koukal signalling his support to the crowd.

Overall, there was a little hiccup in the second game by the British

player, but I think at his best there he was just a little bit too

classy in the big points. Yes, a great start for Great Britain's

Rajiv Ouseph. Remember, that is his first group stage match of Petr

Koukal against the Czech Republic. He's seeded 13th, as you have just

heard, so he will be expected to reach the knockout stages. Well done

rav individual. It is a bit of live hockey for you shortly. We will go

live in just a moment. The women's competition is hotting up. GB

already qualified for of the knockout stages that get under way

on Monday. It is all about building momentum ahead of those matches.

They want another one tonight and perfect start! Lilly Osley is clear

on the right. The ball goes into the net. Live to the Olympic Hockey

Centre. Now over to our commentators.

COMMENTATOR: Penalty call for Great Britain. They have got a chance to

go 2-0 up. The drag flick saved. They didn't get too much power on

that. No, she didn't pick up the ball how she would have wanted to

have done. As she was trying to generate the power through her

stick, it looks like she's rolled the stick over the top of the ball.

Great Britain still deep in Japanese territory. Now to the edge of the

circle. Good Japanese defence and they come clear. You can see the

corner again. What they are trying to do is roll the ball along the

stick. She couldn't generate the power she would have wanted. First

period, 4.5 minutes to play with 4x400 metre 15-minute quarters. They

will change ends at the end of the first half and not the end of the

quarter. Well controlled there. There is the goal scorer. Good take.

She's got herself to the edge of the circle. Looking for SophieBury, but

couldn't get anywhere nearBury and Japan break. It is a fantastic

opportunity for Great Britain there. She just couldn't get the ball in a

position to pass to either McCallum or SophieBury. Great Britain called

back to defend. A crescendo of noise from their supporters. A rare

attack. Into the circle. That was worrying. It was threatening for a

moment. I tell you what, Sam gets a little touch on that. Had she not

done so it would certainly have gone goalwards. I can't say if it would

have ended up in the back of the net or not, but it is really important

that GB concentrate. Backhand shot. Sam calm under pressure. Moves it

into some space and then towns send joins in to try and -- Towsend joins

in to try and tidy things up here. A good flick. Still going forward. The

GB girls are getting short running with the ball. Shona McCallin having

a great game. A little flick from SophieBury. Nicola White climbs all

over it. Too far in front of Quek. I don't think she could decide whether

to release to Sam Quek or McCallin. As she released McCallin had gone

inside. Bouncing ball dealt with calmly by Kate Richardson-Walsh. A

nice touch and flick from McCallin setting off Nicola White on her way.

Owsley. Tries to go again. Unsworth in support. She's found Unsworth.

SophieBury in space. The dangerous Alex Danson. Danson at speed. Good

work from her but her team-mates unable to read her intentions. You

need skill to lift the ball over the Japanese stick which will unlock

the. At moments during this half Japan have literally sat 5-10 yards

over their 25-yard line so it will be crucial for Great Britain that

they keep the ball moving when the opportunity is there.

seconds left on the clock before the hooter. They are just easing off

until the hooter sounds. One goal in the quarter to Great Britain. The

score of the first period of play, Japan, Nhill, Great Britain, one.

A great start the Team GB's women. The Rugby sevens have been a massive

success. Congratulations to BG who have won their first medal of the

Olympics. They beat Great Britain earlier this evening in a

devastating display. Creating a little bit of history. The first

Olympic medal in any sport. Utterly dominant. Now, Olympic champions.

They will be celebrating on the streets of Suva. For Team GB, silver

is a decent achievement. The Fijians celebrated after winning the gold

medal. Absolutely brilliant. That is why we

love the Olympic Games. Congratulations to BG. That show you

what you can be watching. Who would like you to stay with us for some

light hockey on BBC One. If you would like some table tennis,

Belarus have a chance of winning Olympic bronze in the semifinals.

Vladimir Samsonov lost. The winner is taking on Mizuno of Japan. That

is available for you. Also, indoor volleyball and some handball as

well. Let us go back to gigabits against Japan. Mel and Matt, our

commentary team. -- let us go back to gigabits.

Ask off a Japanese stick into the back for gold. Their owner Owen

goals in hockey. Giselle Ansley gets the credit. Great Britain, unbeaten

in the tournament so far. Maximum points for Britain. Richardson -

Walsh, looking for Sophie Bray. A little flick forward. The Japanese

goalkeeper called into action. Their best result in the schemes has been

their draw with India who were beaten 4-0 by Argentina and 6-1 by

the USA. After this match, Great Britain's final pool match will be

against the United States of America. Great Britain, top of their

table at the moment and that is where they hope to finish. They are

already guaranteed qualification for the quarter-finals, the knockout

stages. It is also important with the new

format you finish as high on the table as possible. If you lose in

the quarter-finals, you basically get ranked on where you finish in

the pool. Any finish top, chances are you're going to finish fifth or

sixth the competition. Whoever finishes top of Pool B, and that

could be Great Britain, will play the fourth - placed side from Pool

A, best against worst theoretically. That is looking like either China or

Spain. It Great Britain finishes second, it could be Germany or New

Zealand. Japan go forward. Away to our left.

Mizuhashi, all the way back to Ono. Taken out of play by Kate

Richardson- Walsh. Japanese number nine is Nagai. She has approached

the circle. Looking for some service. Through some British legs

and it is bobbling around. Japan win a penalty corner off a Great Britain

got. Giselle Ansley's foot in the way. Good stepping up by

Richardson-Walsh. You could see it bobbling around Giselle Ansley's

beat. No complaints from the British defence, getting the defensive kit

on. This has been Japan's biggest threat in the tournament so far. Two

of those goals have come from penalty corners. Both from number

ten, Nakashima. Nishimura will inject. Here it is. It came close.

Good at that. Danger over for Great Britain. I think it was Nakashima on

this far post. Richardson-Walsh gets a brilliant touch. As a result,

comes off the Japanese stick for a British 16. Townsend, tangling with

Nishikori. Now they switch blanks, Japan. Ono leading on that side and

getting as far as the circle. Laura Unsworth tidying up. In turn, Sam

Quek takes it to the corner. Japan still with possession. And less

noise, endless chatter from the Japanese players. -- endless.

They are looking for a penalty point... The video umpire is being

consulted over a Japanese claim that the penalty corner. They are

claiming that Great Britain were not five. Five from a free hit. They are

asking for the penalty corner. It's hard to tell from that angle.

It will be much better if you could see it from behind. We know the

umpires have got different camera angles. It could come back that

there is no advice possible because of the camera angles. They were not

five. It is going to be three. They can use the referral. That would be

free for defence. Not a penalty corner. I understand that Japan, I

don't understand why Japan have lost their video referral. I understand

what Carol is saying, therefore it is a free hit to Japan, not a

penalty corner, which I don't agree with because it is a professional

foul but I don't understand why they lose their referral. Probably

because she said, we want a penalty corner. It's harsh because she is

right, they were not five, we have won the ball. These are grey areas

which keep cropping up throughout the tournament. The net result of

that discussion is that there is no penalty corner for Japan and they

have lost their ability to use the third umpire. One per match, per

team. It is held up, you keep your referral but if it is rejected, you

lose it. Japan paid the there. -- Japan paid the price there.

Alex Danson sensibly holds it up, allows her teammates to set it up in

front. It was out of the blue and onto the green.

Bouncing. Dealt with by Laura Unsworth. What an outstanding

tournament Unsworth has had so far. Looking further Helen

Richardson-Walsh but she missed. Penalty corner, Japan. Fantastic

play by Japan. Shimuzi, the number 30, picked up the ball from macro to

three. -- Richardson-Walsh. You could see her slightly moved the

ball, and to be fair, Shona McCallin was running back to get into

position. A very good opportunity for Japan to register something on

the scoreboard. Waiting to try to drag flick, Ono.

There is the injection. Unfortunate for Japan, the accuracy just wasn't

there. Ono and Nagai both involved. There it is again. They look into

the touches. It should be a long corner to Japan. Getting a huge

deflection on the ball. Good team defence from the British team.

Shona McCallin, whose foot it was which caused the penalty corner for

Japan. Crista Cullen with the aerial ball.

Alex Danson turns and accelerates. She has Sophie Bray in the circle.

Fantastic about -- fantastic defence from Sakaguchi. Sophie Bray fires,

no goal. The ball has, from Sophie Bray's stick into the body. -- the

ball has come up from. You can see here. It is stuck in her armpit.

Exactly. The upside of this from the British point of view is that Great

Britain have the penalty corner. It's a great ball by Crista Cullen.

The tactic they used against India the other evening, with the way the

Indian defence setup. Greatly by Alex Danson. She held it up. Waiting

our Crista Cullen and Kate Richardson-Walsh. Kate

Richardson-Walsh, saved. Good save from Asano, the Japanese keeper. Two

opportunities, one with Alex Danson, just above the penalty spot and

Georgie Twigg coming in as the injector. But great save, as you

said, by Asano in girls. -- in goal. 8.5 minutes until half-time.

Unsworth looked despairingly towards Sam Quek. Japan to the edge of the

circle. Looking strong. Held up. Penalty corner for Japan. Shimuzi

net, coming in, hits Laura Unsworth's foot. She pulls the ball

back onto the tow. -- toe. Japan's score, you cannot argue with, they

have had three corners in the game so far. Their options this time,

lining up, maybe to attempt to drag flick. Number 16, Ono and Nagai

beside her. Pushed away by Sam Quek. And feed -- good combination in

defence between goalkeepers. really well. It could have taken a

deflection off anyone's stick. Good times for Great Britain as they set

about defending these continuous Japanese offences. 13 for Japan. A

good game so far. Into the circle once more. Aerial exit. From Gisele

Ainslie. This is the penalty corner again. A fantastic save by Hinch.

She manages to get a big left glove to it. Japan come again down the

left flank. Picked up beautifully. Scampering to the right circle.

Georgie Twigg stepping forward and then having to withdraw. Japan, once

again, to the shooting zone. Behind in the period of attack from the

players in pink come to an end for the moment. Sophie Bray. A nice pick

up. Left-handed run. She's done well. Aided by McCallin. She's got a

little bit scrappy from Great Britain at the moment. Not really

able to control the ball Another aerial ball aimed for Quek. Hits the

stick on the ball nicely but the delivery to Nicola White was way too

quick. I think NicWhite there could have made that run a bit earlier and

worked harder to get her feet facing infeel. Her body was still moving

towards the sideline as she tried to track the ball. Quek's aerial trap

goes backwards to Unsworth who has to slalomher way out of trouble.

They found Danson. She goes ore one and looking for another looking for

service. It is Great Britain's ball. Twingelina. Webb. Kate

Richardson-Walsh. All the way down to gist cell Ainslie and missed trap

by Georgie Twigg. Two against three here. Twigg thankful to see that on

the end of her stick. An obstruction. Webb having to track

back and defend now. Four minutes until half-time. Wonderful passage

of play from Japan in the last 10 minutes. One thing that Great

Britain are exceptionally good at is their defending. They will be

disappointed to have conceded three penalty corners in the first half.

There is plenty to work on and I am sure Danny carry is already working

on his half-time talk. The most important thing is the scoreline

which is GB 1 and Japan 0. Aerial ball for Owsley.

Owsley again. Bundled off the ball. A bit of a mismatch but Japan came

out as the winners and cheered every step of the way as Yuri Nagai gets

it up to halfway. Townsend comes away with it. Townsend is fast.

Townsend tackled effectively. Helen Richardson-Walsh there to try and

help her out. It is tough when you have got someone in your team as

quick as Chad Townsend to try and offer por. All of the support was on

the left-hand side of the feel. Lily Owsley is the same. Alex Danson, to

be fair, most of the team have got speed about them. It is only when

you see the Japanese players trying to track back with those type of

players you realise how quick they are with the ball. HollieWebb. Bray.

Owsley. Trying to find Bray inside of that time. That is out of play.

Quickly taken by Kate Richardson-Walsh. Now Japan once

again moving off towards the Great Britain circle with MinamiShimizu

moving nicely. Oh, they have scored! No. No goal. It's come off Gisele

Ainslie slip as it crashed in. It was Ainslie's stick into the back of

Hinch's goal. The crowd are booing. The umpire is well positioned.

Certainly Japanese sticks were in there, there is no doubt about it.

Here comes the crash ball in. It is Kate Richardson-Walsh that gets the

touch and not Giselle aps angst. There was a Japanese player waiting

to get that touch. Great call for Great Britain in the last 90 seconds

of the half. They have more work to do because the Japanese players once

again are peppering the circle. Backhand shot. Hinch has let it

through her feet. No. No. On her foot on the way through. I am glad

that Maddie Hinch heard the whistle because I certainly didn't. I am not

sure what happened. So looking for a GB foot in the circle. Obviously

before that passage of play. Maddie Hinch heard the whistle blown.

Backhand shot. Sorry, it would be a goal, but what GB have asked for the

referral because Japan have lost theirs. So they are looking for a

Japanese foot in the circle. I don't know what foot we are looking for.

LAUGHS . Well. I am trying to work out who

has referred it. There is no GB foot so keep the referral.

So the whistle obviously has been blown before the shot comes in from

Japan. GB went for the referral. Their referral was upheld. We've had

some sound problems throughout the tournament where the microphones and

audio from umpires and video referral umpires upstairs. Sometimes

it is not as crystal clear as it might be. With 38 seconds to go, the

clock has stopped and another video refer alhas come in.

UMPIRE: It is a penalty corner and GB lose their referral. GB players

didn't move the 5 metres. Kate Richardson-Walsh is not happy with

that at all. You can see it. She is doing what you want her to do,

getting the team back behind the goal and putting the defending kit

on. It is so important that the five of them back there really

concentrate. Danny Carry looking concerned. Japan with an opportunity

ahead if they can put this away. Nagai 31 and Ono 16. The two options

here. Oh, they missed the trap. Scrambling

back with Nagai trying to create something else. 31 seconds on the

clock. Danson going forward. Townsend charging down the right.

Nicola White in the circle. Townsend down on her back side,

unfortunately, with 17 seconds to play. Japan will probably run out of

time before they can get down to the Great Britain circle. Final 5

seconds of the half. SIRENS WAIL

It will end with a scoreline of Japan 0 and Great Britain 1. By no

means the dominant half of hockey that Great Britain might have

expected. They've had a lot of solid attacking moments as well they are

are separated by a single goal here. It is all going very well for Great

Britain's women's hockey team. Unbeaten so far in this tournament.

We will be back with Matt and melanoma very shortly for the second

half, but let's bring you right up-to-date with tonight's headlines.

Jason Kenny, Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner sped around the

cycling Velodrome to ensure that Great Britain's men team sprint

struck gold for the third consecutive Olympics. Great Britain

wins silver after losing 43-7 to the dancing Fijians in the Rugby Sevens

final. Rower Katherine Grainger became Great Britain's most

decorated athlete when picking up a silver along with Victoria Thornley

in the women's doubles skul. And there was also a medal for David

Florance and Richard Hounslow who won silver in the canoe slal loom

for the second consecutive Olympics. Well done to the boys. Right. This

is how we are lining up tonight. If you want to stay with us, then we

will be back with the hockey very shortly. Great Britain leading Japan

by a goal to nil. Then we have the men's gold medal match on BBC Four

at 1:30. The Japanese takes on the defending champion. We are expecting

big GB cheers for Chloe Tutton and Molly Renshaw. That is around 2:134.

Then the big one. The men's 200m individual medley. That is at 3:01.

That is where we are heading right now. Let's go to the Olympic

Aquatics Stadium. Rio gets hot but plenty of cool air in this sparkling

venue, as you can see, thanks to - how about this - 15,000 tiny holes

have been drilled into this structure, which means there is no

hot air from our wonderful swimming team. Good evening hell loan. I am

not sure about that. You say that, it is a matter of opinion. We will

take it. Mark foster, Olympic medallist and five-time limb yep.

Let's look ahead to toe night's swimming. It will be exciting and

loud. It is a night of big names and British hopes, isn't it in first of

all, let's talk us through the big names because when it comes to

swimming, they are the biggest names, right? Absolutely. The

Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochtes are the biggest. They haven't lost the

world record since 2003 between the two of them. But, you know, times

are changing. We won the 4 lunch IM, certainly he could get in there and

ruin some things for them. We've had real fights in the pool this week,

but tonight will be one of the big fights. Dan Wallace is in there for

Britain. I think there is an opportunity at a bronze medal.

Lochte has not swum that good or looked that good. You can see his

demeanour. Phelps is odds-on favourite. Gidino could push him. As

Sharronn has said it has been them on top of the podium for the last 11

years and it has come down immensely. After these Olympics

Phelps, Lochte are old and will be out of the way. Dan Wallace has an

opportunity moving on. I am looking forward to the noise in here today.

The roof will be raised. The Phelps show will certainly come out.

Whenever Michael Phelps, justifiably people want to celebrate the

greatest Olympian of all time, more photographers in the stands than

normal. Ryan will push him for that title. We can see that he's been

preparing. Is this usual? He as been tweeting pictures of his

preparation? Looks friendly there but there will be a battle later on.

Yes. What is interesting is those boys are not stopping when they come

through. They normally do. Normally they have to queue up, but Michael

has just been running through on his way to the ice bath and on his way

because now he's a bit older, it is even more important, really. We know

that! He needs longer in the ice bath.

fastest. What are the chances? Some very strange races. Going out

incredibly slow. She will not do that this evening. Molly broke the

British record which Chloe held. For a young lady which -- who is only

based on to the international scene this year, she is incredibly

controlled. She will not be fazed by anybody. Around 21, that would be

good. They both looked very good through the rounds. If they get the

turns right this evening, because turns are important and we have seen

touches the importance. Pedersen from Waisea Nayacalevu sits between

them, she is solid. If they can do their own thing on the outside, they

could potentially get some medals. It is important. The pressure is on

them. They are both going to be in semi-final action tonight. Sammy

Fowler for the 105. It is exciting. They are very close together. There

is a good chance they could make the final. Fantastic for the relay. We

are going to look forward to that. Every member of that team is looking

strong. We used to have traditionally a bit of a weakness.

We don't have that any more. You are still buzzing by the semifinals

today. Jazzy was a good friend of mine. I'm looking forward to it.

Sadly, I think it will be a silver medal but to go away with two silver

medals would be lovely. If people wake up, the first race, the fastest

man on the planet, it is the semi-final tonight but Ben Proud,

over the past couple of years, he has grown in stature and size, and

he can hang with the big boys and he is very quick. The fastest guys, it

will be like skating across a pond. I don't know how you see those last

three strokes because there is so much wash. It is churning. So much

to look forward to tonight. It is going to be so, so loud in here.

Brazilians, Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte. And don't forget, Molly and

Chloe. Definitely set alarm and joiners. We would love to see what

you would do to stay awake. Staying with us through to the early hours.

BBC sport website. Also available this evening for you, is Slovenia

against Sweden in the handball. If you were watching a couple of nights

ago, you would have seen Egypt's pulling off a real big shock against

Sweden and Sweden looking to bounce back tonight. BBC sport online. Let

us take you back to the Olympic Hockey Centre. Great Britain lead

Japan by one goal. The second half about to get under

way. Great Britain in white, attacking the girl away to our left.

And I wonder what Danny Kerry might have said at half time. I imagine he

will not have minsters words. -- midst his words. -- minced.

McLeod pushes it through the circle, behind. The first attack of the

second half comes to nothing. I would imagine Danny Kerry has asked

his players that he wants them to play a round of price, down the

outside, along the baseline and into the circle is that half progressed,

the British team getting pressed by numbers. He will not be happy about

it. He will have been frustrated as well. He sometimes needs is time to

get down the steps and into the change rooms, an opportunity to

clear his head and make sure the message he delivers to the team is

clear and concise. Shona McCallin loses out. The tackle

from Nakashima. Number nine for Japan is Nagai.

There is Danny Kerry on the left with a red baseball cap. Alex Danson

did not quite get the run that Susannah Townsend is backing up and

she has terrific pace. All the way back to Kate Richardson-Walsh and

then to Gisele Ansley. Sophie Bray, bouncing around. Hollie Webb was

hoping to escape with it but it is a Japanese ball.

Giselle Ansley trying to turn. Good skills from Ansley.

This is where Great Britain can how Japan is a quick free hits. Somebody

gets fouled, get the ball moving, take some of the Japanese players

out early. Good pace on the right from the

Japanese number five, Nakagawa. Nishimura plays it to the centre of

the field. On this left flank, they made it all the way to the circle.

Kate Richardson-Walsh calmly taking things clear.

Now will we see something explosive from Susannah Townsend? Alex Danson

heading over to back up. Can she get the service in? That was all has

blown. That is exactly what you were talking about. Susannah Townsend got

a quick free hits, took on the Japanese defence, popped the ball

back to Alex Danson, couldn't quite get the ball under control but much

more positive and probably what Danny Kerry would want from his

team. Crista Cullen sweeps across to Kate

Richardson-Walsh. Good take from Sophie Bray. Altitude Townsend, back

to Sophie Bray. A little clipboard. It did not bounce kindly for Bray.

Seven for Japan is Mizuhashi. Nishimura. Danson putting pressure

on the defenders. Helen Richardson-Walsh getting involved as

well. Nice from Unsworth. Ansley. A crossfield to Crista Cullen who is

having a little for a forward. Put it into the circle. It just feels at

the moment that the likes of Hollie Webb, Georgie Twigg, Shona McCallin,

to an extent, Laura Unsworth, when they play in these positions, their

natural instinct at the moment when they have got the ball is to look

backwards, not forwards. They have got to have the composure and the

peace of mind to know that if they kick the ball going forwards, that

is where your options are going to be.

Japan, threatening to the edge of the circle, just to get the shot on

goal. Penalty corner for Japan. I think Great Britain are possibly

lucky there wasn't more to that. Shimizu, as she comes in here. In

the back, as she is in the act of shooting. You can see here, she digs

the ball over Crista Cullen really well, who has been cut off, but a

big shot in the back to Walsh. Public fortunate it was the penalty

corner. -- probably. Nagai and Ono lined up. Penalty corner for Japan.

It came close. They will get another one. The ball up from Maddie Hinch's

love has gone into the danger area. The question has come in about the

height of the ball. There is nothing wrong with that at all. It was going

to hit the back board but it is the height of the ball as it goes over

the line. It has to be the height of the backboard and it is a rule which

should probably be changed. If you hit it like that, it should just be

a girl. Another opportunity for Japan. Crista Cullen, quickly off

the line. Defence of courage from Crista Cullen. We have seen that

drought the tournament. So sharp from power. Look at the speed. She

is right though, climbing all over it. She can be dangerous at times

but bad one, she took in the shinpads. -- that one.

Deep in the third quarter. Sophie Bray. And now Townsend. Townsend is

pushing, getting to the edge of the circle, one of the Japanese players

took a real bang. Ono, down on the deck and she is in some distress.

Great Britain in Japanese players surrounding her. Calling the medics

on. Interesting from Townsend she breaks through the line whether the

sticks get hooked. It's come up and hit her in the mouth. Coach Nagai

looking a bit concerned. Thankfully, Ono is back on her feet and will be

helped from the field of play to get some attention. You can see Townsend

here, yes. No explanation needed. Great Britain have possession.

Georgie Twigg. All sorts of options there. By then the circle. It goes

back to Ansley and then back to Richardson-Walsh. Quek.

Lily Owsley unable to control and Japan will attempt to move forward

to the other end of the hockey fields. -- field.

Down the line, a little flick. Bouncing between Quek and the

Japanese player. Japan have done really well tonight. Watching the

last night when they lost 6-1 to the USA who have been a team of the

tournament so far that they have certainly come out after that

disappointment, and they are giving Great Britain a good run for their

money. Behind Helen Richardson-Walsh. Along corner. --A

long corner. To be taken by Gisele Ansley. Perhaps she is left of the

Georgie Twigg. -- she has left it for Georgie Twigg. Diving defensive

move. Sophie Bray. Great Britain is still pressing Townsend. Townsend

tackled. Great Britain are running into flat sticks at the moment.

Sophie Bray's little effort with the upright reverse shot, she managed to

get the ball up in the hour. But the basic skill levels of the British

team have not been good enough tonight. Another break down the

right but it will be Giselle Ansley with the luxury of a bit of time and

the chance to restart. Will she go overhead for this one? Yes. Across

goal. That is a bit risky. Nichola White was left standing and staring

because the bowl that the Japanese player. Susannah Townsend takes

another one out. She is doing some damage here tonight, Townsend. I'm

not sure where she is supposed to go, to be honest. She knocked the

ball past the Japanese player. Where else is she supposed to go? It looks

worse than it probably was but Townsend was travelling at pace and

was no weapon to go. And they'd -- there was no weapon to go. -- there

was nowhere for her to go. And feed and

It is the speed of the ball from Ansley out to Unsworth which is

crucial. That is what Brynne need to keep doing. The Japanese forward

didn't quite get her line right and she found Laura Unsworth up the

field. Great Britain back to defend once again. Townsend away. Danson

just ahead of her. McCallin gets her stick in the way.

That is good play. She goes past the Japanese defender and takes the ball

off her foot. So it will be a Japanese ball. That is fantastic

defending. Owsley is very, very quick. Rather than chasing her down

the line the Japanese player changed the angle in which she ran towards

her own circle by one or two yards which meant she could get the job

tackle in. 2.5 minutes until the end of the third quarter and they are

still separated by the single goal. Japan 0 and Great Britain 1.

Laura Unsworth. White Hart Lane again. Slowly but surely Great

Britain gaining ground as White turns and goes. Again. Slowly but

surely Great Britain gaining ground as White turns and goes. Owsley

pushed off the ball, claiming it was unfairly done. It is the Japanese

free hit. Quek sets up Unsworth. A bit of

space over here. McCallin found a few yards. Unsworth

sets it off again. A little push forward from Georgie Twigg.

He is really one frustrated man tonight I wonder how many more times

we are going to see him on the screen. McCallin with lots of time

and space on the left. Hollie Webb. A miss by Georgie Twigg, just in

front of her. The last 30 seconds of the third quarter. No goals in this

third period. Still 1-0 Great Britain. This is by no means safe.

Quek. Nicola White chases it. Too far in front. That will be the final

move of the third period. The countdown to the hooter.

SIRENS WAIL No change. The end of the third

quarter, Japan 0, Great Britain 1. Matt and melanoma, thank you very

much. We will be back for the final quarter shortly. Remember, just

after 3:00 in the morning we could see Michael Phelps win his 22nd

Olympic gold medal. He's got his game face on and so have these

Olympic fans. Hi. My name is Tamara. This is my Michael Phelps game face.

Now this is mew impersonation of Michael Phelps game face. I am from

Brazil and this is my Michael Phelps game face P I am Team GB gymnast and

this is my Michael Phelps game face. I am from Brazil and this is my

Michael Phelps game face. I am from Brazil and this is my Michael Phelps

game face. I am from the USA and this is my Michael Phelps face.

Hello. I am from Norway. My name is Raul. This is Michael's face. I my

name is Kerryn, I'm from the UK and this is my Michael Phelps games

face. Many things I never thought I would do on television lick saying

it is a great night for Egyptian handball. The director wants me to

do my Michael Phelps face. Here it comes. Is that angry enough for you?

LAUGHS . I will show you what happened in

the bronze medal match in the singles. Let's have our serious

the bronze medal match in the singles. Let's have our serious game

face on here. Vladimir Samsonov has been beaten and he looks remarkably

happy about that as well. Well done. Also, if you fancy a bit of

badminton this evening, this is Scotland's Kirstie Gilmour taking on

the Swiss player. That is available on BBC Sport online. OK. Game face

on, back for the live hockey. Matt and melanoma.

COMMENTATOR: Final quarter under way. Sophie Bray feeds Susannah

Townsend. Great Britain desperate for another goal. They are well

organised. Shutting everything down and closing the options. Webb.

Townsend. Townsend a quick break. Finds Bray. Bray with good stick

work. Oh, no-one able to get a shot on the ball. McCallin plays it back.

It is scored by Helen Richardson-Walsh. A huge relief for

Great Britain. Not the most spectacular goal you will ever see,

but they all count and Helen Richardson-Walsh is on the score

sheet. Japan 0, Great Britain 2. Sophie Bray does well here and rolls

the ball back. I think we may be getting an umpire referral while we

watch this. Fantastic stepping up by Shona McCallin. Helen

Richardson-Walsh, there is nothing wrong with that - well, in my

opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Helen

Richardson-Walsh is a keen cricketer so a bouncing ball is never going to

be a problem for her. I think it has gone upstairs. The umpire's video

referral in play at the moment. Helen Richardson-Walsh at the moment

credited with the goal, but let's see.

No goal. No goal. The video umpire's referral. They have decided the goal

will not stand. Might be worth looking at that one again. They are

saying it hit a GB body in the circle. Frustrating that we don't

get to see what the video umpire is reviewing upstairs. Anyway. The

match continues and the scoreline is unchanged. It is Great Britain 1,

Japan 0. Townsend determined to do some damage. She fires that through

and misses Braybury's stick and Japan will calm things down. Here it

is again. There you go. Off Shona McCallin's left thigh. I tell you

what, that is an unbelievable spot by the umpire. There weren't any

complaints from the GB players when the hit-out was given to Japan.

Back to Kate Richardson-Walsh and now Unsworth. Unsworth doesn't want

to go backwards. Just nudges it forwards to Webb wb -- Hollie Webb.

Nicola White did well. Just left hand on the stick and now she's in a

marauding position. White white all the way to the edge of the circle.

White might go all the way back for Sophie Bray. Penalty corner, Great

Britain. A fan break forward. At speed, you can see I think maybe the

goal being disallowed as given sort of GB the impetus that they needed

and it has come off the Japanese foot. Minami Shimizu making contact

with the bull. Now the pads are going onto defend this penalty

corner. So Crista Cullen is up there and Giselle Ainslie at well. Cullin

has fired it home. It is too high. Too high. If it is a hit rather than

a flick, it whats to hit the back board when it reaches the net and

there was in clunk of ball on back board so the goal is disallowed.

Mistrap on top of the circle that was the problem, but Crista Cullin

did well to adjust to then get the hit away. Helen Richardson-Walsh

getting stuck in. I think the umpire is going for a card here. A green

card for Lily Owsley. Not retreating 5. On the free hit. We've had a

couple of those this evening and both teams have got away with it. It

is a mistrap there by ununderstand and Cullin hits off the back foot

and, as you say, it is the height of the ball that goes over the goal

loin that has to be at back board high. It will be a long night for

him, won't it into be honest, if the score stays the same, they need to

bin this game. It hasn't been one of their best. If it stays the same,

they have got three points on the board and if they bet USA they

finish top of the pool. A lot of "ifs". And a long way to go. Yeah,

11 minutes. Just under 12 minutes of the match remain. Unsworth. A double

break. Looking forbury Bray. -- looking for Bray. Takes it to the

correct position. Japan with a player over at the moment with Lily

Owsley on the bench for another 60 seconds or so.

Maybe Great Britain's quest will be buoyed by some noise from their band

of supporters. Karwamura. And a minimum of five

minutes in the sin bin to that tackle. That is probably found. They

stick probably came there when the Richardson-Walsh. -- nowhere in the

air. Richardson-Walsh, Ansley and Townsend. A little burst to the

centre of the field. British fans getting a little bit impatient. They

want another goal. Ansley to Townsend. Townsend gets a foot on

the ball. Great Britain loose possession. -- lose.

It's the mistakes that Great Britain have been making when they are not

under pressure that is costing them this evening so that ball from

Ansley to Townsend, there was no pressure on either player and it was

poorly executed. Townsend is calling for it. It will go via Ansley. Now

it reaches Susannah Townsend. A little flick from Sophie Bray to

Nicola White, didn't get. That is fallen nicely for Sophie Bray.

Reverse, high, saved. Ansley. Back to Kate

Richardson-Walsh. To nowhere behind. Japan have

possession. This is Sophie Bray's opportunity. It is a great save by

Asano. Sophie Bray does exceptionally well on the upright

hit which you don't often see. Glove and stick going together by Asano.

Asano comfortable enough but quick reaction is required. Japan with a

little break. Nishimura. Sophie Bray has been busy

this evening. A good opportunity to score a couple of moments ago.

Georgie Twigg getting stuck in. Winning the ball. On the chase her,

tweet. -- on the chase here, Georgie Twigg. This is much better. Great

Britain putting pressure on the Japanese ballcarrier. Two pink

shirts in the circle. Japan, free hit, taken quickly. Not

far away. Nagai there are, on the far post. Her sister as well. They

are both the daughters of the coach, so there is a Japanese family

connection but danger signs for Great Britain. Anything is possible

that 6.5 minutes left. -- with. Unsworth, always a favourite in that

sort of position and on she goes. This is really purposeful from Helen

Richardson-Walsh. She is still going. This would be brilliant. If

she can deliver something across... Tucked in, penalty corner, Great

Britain. Absolutely fantastic break by Helen Richardson-Walsh. What are

the hardest players to actually get the ball off. Alex Danson there were

the Gabba and spin. Put it onto the foot. I would like to see Great

Britain go with it again. The tips and touches, that's what seems to be

most successful for them. Japan still have a player in the sin bin.

Crista Cullen and Kate Richardson-Walsh lining up to have a

go at the drag flick. Hannah Macleod will inject or Great Britain.

-- for. Unsworth tracks. Cullen, scored. Finished off beautifully

from height by Nicola White. Andy Murray would be proud of that

finish. At the near, smashed down into the ground, very much. Nichola

White, smiling. Crista Cullen, going though. It's the reactions as well.

We are seeing this in slow motion. Asano makes the save of the left

kicker but Nichola White, she plays the ball down into the ground. So

often in this situation, you see strikers trying to put the ball into

the top corner. She plays it down into the turf and up comes. An

absolutely fantastic finish. Japan, zero. Great Britain, two. A

collective sigh of relief from the British camp all-around pitch number

one here. White, still enjoying the moment. Gets to rest after her goal.

Alex Danson has a look around before she makes contact. Good move from

Danson. She will get it across here. Suddenly there is a spring in the

step of the British players. Alex Danson, lifting the ball over the

stick, gets out well, tries to roll the ball into Lily Owsley but

unfortunately, the deflection is too far past the near post is so she

couldn't angle the stick well enough to deflect the ball towards the

goal. The final five minutes of the match.

Girls from Lily Owsley and Nicola White. -- goals.

Crista Cullen with the aerial ball. Helen Richardson Walshe. Lily Owsley

had of her. Helen Richardson-Walsh shoots, it is saved. She's got the

bit between her teeth at the moment, hasn't she, Helen Richardson-Walsh.

She comes in here, the ball is a clear. It is brave defending from

the Japanese. Certainly didn't help back in the shot. Got a long corner

out of it. Hollie Webb to Sam Quek. Laura Unsworth with loads of space.

Across from Unsworth. Cut out just before it. Got to Helen

Richardson-Walsh. Sophie Bray. Just under the body. Under the body of

the diving Crista Cullen. Comes offer, comes off a leg of

number ten, Nakashima. That is not the person I was expecting to see in

the far post for Great Britain. Crista Cullen has made the ground up

from right half to get into that position. She would be glad she made

the move. Now with a chance. An opportunity

for the penalty corner. Cullinan slighted inside towards Georgie

Twigg. No luck for Great Britain. Great Britain leading Japan by two

goals and they have already qualified for the quarter-finals.

Not a vintage performance this evening but certainly enough to keep

their unbeaten run going. If you want to continue watching this

match, press your Red Button right now because we will start our

buildup to the swimming very shortly. Press red now if you want

to continue watching the hockey. Meanwhile, there are nine sports

going on right across the Olympics this evening. You can keep right

up-to-date with every single one of them. The men's gold medal match at

the table tennis. World number one Ma of China taking on fellow

countrymen Zhang. As you can see here, Zhang putting up a fight but

it is Ma who has taken the first game. He is looking to take the goal

away from the defending champion. Meanwhile, if you want a bit of

Badminton this evening, then this is going on right now live. This is

Scotland's Kirsty Gilmour. The 22-year-old, seeded 11.

That is available for you on the BBC sport app. Now we are going swimming

and Helen Skelton. Yes, we are McLeod as yet the

Michael Phelps. I am ready and you are ready, but is he ready? I

suspect so. A huge gold medals in Michael

Phelps. A new world record. I wonder whether we have here

somebody he was going to replace Spitz is the greatest swimmer ever.

Can Michael Phelps go eight goals in eight days? -- golds. He is trying

to set Olympic history and swimming history. Eight days, eight gold

medals, Michael Phelps is the greatest.

These are his last Olympics. He will go out as the best ever. The biggest

Olympic medallist in history. Nobody has won more.

Michael Phelps is back. Swimming legend Michael Phelps is coming out

of retirement. US Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps has been arrested

for... He has been arrested... He will not be allowed to represent the

United States... Banned for competing for six months. Michael

Phelps is heading for Rio... Another showdown in Rio looms...

Unbelievable from Phelps... His 21st Olympic gold.

He might only be human but he is definitely superhuman, isn't it? 21

girls Olympic medals. He is in the league of his own. But Ryan Lochte,

arguably the most successful Olympic swimmer behind Michael Phelps. They

go head-to-head tonight. How will this play out? An interesting one.

We were joking earlier, Lochte has won all the World Championships,

Michael Phelps has won the past two Olympic Games. It's kind of like

those to have dominated this event for so, so long and we saw some

Japanese ones earlier, they were in such belief that their boy was going

to do it and it'll be interesting. Obviously he got the goals in the

400m so it be interesting but you can't shy away from the fact that

everyone things Michael Phelps is going to win.

their sport but they love their own. It goes absolutely crazy in here

every time an American comes out. I think Michael Phelps gets nearly his

biggest cheer. Absolutely phenomenal. They really

do get into it. I love it. I love it. It is a party atmosphere.

However their athletes are doing, they support them. When a Brazilian

comes out it is cheer and excitement, but when an American

comes out it is like he is a super freak. He is just another athlete.

He does totally love it and plays up to it as well. He is like "bring it

on!" Remember that the Japanese swimmer would be there and Michael

Phelps. He is 10 years younger and he potentially could cause an upset.

He is the only one to beat Phelps. Don't forget that Dan Wallace is in

there too from Great Britain. He would love, love to bet Michael

Phelps. There is the defending Olympic champion on there. 6ft 6 of

him. He came third in that 100 metre free. Watch the speed he takes his

stuff off. Everyone else is ready to go and is behind their box. Nathan

Adrian is still with his kit on. Splashing the pool. It is ever so

slightly rude. He is playing goals with them. Nathan Adrian just taking

his time. Just getting his tracksuit bottoms off. Defending champion next

to him. All 6ft 6 of him. The French team lost to the American team the

other might. He was seriously miffed. He had a sulky face on all

the way through the medal ceremony. As you would. You come here thinking

you are going to win. So fastest men on the planet? Water. First

semifinal in.men's 100 metre freestyle.

If the Japanese swimmer makes the final I will be astonished, but

anything can happen here. Adrian of USA is in four. Morris got away

reasonably well. Very good in five. The defending Olympic champion from

France. He is absolutely bashing it. He gos through the rounds and gets

faster and faster. A don't heat time of 21.7. The fastest he's had for a

long time. Certainly fastest than the Olympics and the Worlds. Oh,

21.32. I thought he was going to finish with his right arm but

finished with his left. He won it by 15100ths and that is a lot.

Improvement to be made. Straight arm very powerful off the black. Looked

great. Nathan Adrian second place. Straight off. Look at that. What an

interesting dive. His arms and legs were all over the place. Straight

arm of manadu in the middle. You can just about make him out in the

splash. He took a short grab there with his left arm. Just a punching

in to make sure he got that victory, but split-second decision making. I

don't think you want to be that indecisive in the final, does he?

Adrian, a bit of a grin. Maybe they are having an arm wrestle. Grin or

grimace. Give us a smile, Lauren? Well, the first guys were kick.

21.32, very fast, indeed. That is exactly the same time he won the

World Championships two years ago. It is not particularly fast. Ben

Proud has a chance of making the final now. We We have got the second

semifinal coming up in a moment. Just to confirm if you were watching

the hockey before the swimming Great Britain were taking on Japan and

they won that match 2-0. Go girls! Some of them came to see us the

other night. Great to see you girls. Well done. We said it is an exciting

crowd, an expect tant crowd and I think your neighbours in the

Brazilian box are going to get excited because next up in the

second semifinal not only Britain's Ben Proud but one of the Brazilian

boys will swim as well. Absolutely. We made friends with them. They

leaned off and had a smile at us and said, "Was it you that spit on us

during the session?" I said it was actually Adrian. I wasn't sure who

it was. They are very nice people. The Brazilian tennis player is here

as well. Kuertan. We asked him the take a picture of us. Matthew

McConaghey might be back in. He is a fan. Don't ask him to take the

photo. I think he will play Michael Phelps in a bio. I reckon he is here

to get ready for that, you know. What do you think? Good call. That

is exactly what we were saying. Were you? OK.

LAUGHS . Right. They are nought year than

we are. No, no, they are independent. Ben Proud, what do you

reckon? He's got a great chance. Nathan Adrian and Manaudou, they

were very, very quick, but after that there was a drop off so

hopefully Ben can sneak in after them and make that final tomorrow.

What do you make of Nathan Adrian's mind games at the start? I don't

think it is mind games at all. The thing is you come out last in lane 4

you don't get much time to get ready. Lane 1 has been out there for

ages. They have got time. He can't take 10 minutes clearly, but take

your time and do your preparation, but don't rush. I don't think it was

mind games, but more he was doing his own things.

CHEERING Cheer There is the Brazilian. If he

concentrates on himself and gets the start that he did this morning, he

will make it into the final tonight. Just you wait until that 200 metre

individual medley later on featuring Phelps and the Brazilians! Go on,

shout! There is another! I think you said go, Helen. The second noise was

the Brazilian. He is in Lane 1. It is fascinating because they put the

slowest out one by one to the fastest. One of h Brazilians is

standing by his block and is ready to go. Here is Great Britain's Ben

Proud, the bribe record holder and Commonwealth champion. With a 21.88

from the first semi, fourth fastest, he's got a super chance of making

this final. He was very, very quick. Brilliant start. McEvoy very low key

for a 50 sprinter. Quit slight in build. He's a threat, though. He was

also brilliant in the 35-40 metres, but then eased back a bit. Anthony

Ervin. This is an amazing story. He is 35 and won this race in the 2000

Olympics in Sydney. 16 years ago. He's qualified second fastest

because this guy was awfully quick, set a new Ukrainian record, a new

lifetime best. Fastest qualifier for the heats. If he can go under 29.9 I

would say he's got a cracking class. He's still got his kit on. He just

took off his tracksuit bottoms. He's still got his T-shirt on and taking

his time. Very, very interesting games. Ben Proud last. The crowd is

going absolutely nuts. There is some sort of football-crowd chant they

all do and they are going bonkers. There is Anthony Ervin, the Olympic

champion from Sydney. He is a lovely guy. An amazing guy. He decided to

sell his medal for charity for the Olympic Games. He gave the money

away for charity. There are two Brazilians. One at the top and the

other down in seven. He is next to Fratus and Ben Proud in 6. Proud

with the red hat there. Second semifinal of the men's 50m

free-style. Proud three from the bottom in the red hat. A very good

start of Ben Proud. The best start of everyone in the field. In the

heats this morning he went well to 25 and then just seemed to get eaten

by the other guys a little better. He is going well. Still going well.

Really important this last 10 metres for Proud. Proud has gone well. He

finishes in third place. 21.54. That is a new massive British record. A

whole tenth of a second, but he's in the final and that is a fabulous

swim for Ben Proud. Well done. Brilliant. Anthony Ervin has tied

for first place. Ervin has been here before. Fastest reaction in the

field, Ben Proud. A great reaction up. Perfect. At that point it is him

and McEvoy. As he saw in the heats him and McEvoy were slower in the

last 10 metres. Well, McEvoy I don't know where he went in the end.

Fantastic swimming. Hit it right on the end of the stroke as well,

didn't he? Look at that. Beautiful stuff. Smack in the middle of the

pad. Hit it hard, righthand side of the cap. He is out of the final. No

way! Unbelievable. McEvoy has missed it. Heavens. Well, fantastic,

Anthony Ervin, could he, 16 years on repeat? We will find out tomorrow

night. He is chuffed with that. You can tell. Really pleased. He's come

here to do a simple job tonight and that is to make the final. There are

no medals tonight but he's done a terrific job. Govorov and Ervin and

Proud will make the final. Fratus will make the final as well. Wow!

How quick was that? The qualifiers for tomorrow night a final and the

defending champion goes in fastest and quite a long way fastest as

well. Ervin is in and Govorov. Ben Proud fifth in. Brilliant stuff.

Ben Proud, take a bow. Awesome. That was amazing. He just got everything

right. The start was right. He practices on it so much. Stuff in

the gym. All of the work he was doing and he continued down the pool

with his head down. He doesn't bloet. It is interesting. -- breath.

It is interesting. He put his head down and did the job. We have said

it all the way through, the time you want to be at your best is now. We

seem to be getting it right. Let's hear from him. Ben Proud is with

Sharron. Ben, congratulations going into that final in fifth place and

the British record? Yeah, I is great. British record or not, it is

a ticket to the final. Tomorrow night will be when the race agains.

My start wasn't as good as I hoped, again. Normally I can come off in 5.

Just a little bit awkward. I felt really good and composed throughout

the swim. I am happy with the result. Do you stroke count the

whole way up? Yeah, yeah. I try to do my best but it changes. It is

completely different to swimming mid-season. Increase it or reduce

it? I am not sure. I forgot to count to be honest with you. All I was

trying to think about was taking over and having to finish. I did my

best and I think more to come tomorrow. We are looking forward to

it. Good luck. Thank you. That was slowly in her first major

individual final and what a great opportunity it is. -- Chloe. She is

right next to the world record holder. Chloe Tutton will be in lane

one and Pedersen of Denmark, she will be sandwiched in between the

Brits. It is a great position for her to be in. She will be going for

the victory here. Xi in lane six. -- Shi. With the headphones on, they

will be trying to block it out. I would prefer to soak it up. Molly

Renshaw, no headphones to her. The new British record on this 200

breaststroke. She took Chloe Tutton's record by one 100th. Now a

world ranked number one this year and if she does the time she set

earlier this year, Rie Kaneto. I think she may well win it. Nobody

has looked that special so far. I think Taylor McKeown pushed herself

all the way. And as you say, Kaneto was a dip under. The only Japanese

woman to do that. In lane number seven, Efimova of the Russian

Federation. I would love to see Molly or Curly get amongst the

medals. -- Chloe Tutton. This is going to be a fascinating

race. Sometimes, the races are a bit slower and if they are slower,

pretty much everyone can get a medal in this field. If it is a faster

one... I agree with you. Kaneto and Pedersen, possibly Efimova on that

bright suit. -- in that bright suit. The British at the top in lane is

number one and three. The final of the women's 200 metres breaststroke

in Rio 26 D. -- 2016. Chloe Tutton and Molly Renshaw for Great Britain.

Between them, the world record holder. Pretty even down this first

25 metres. If anything, I would say Chloe Tutton has got fastest. The

dive was held, for me, a bit too long. Important to get the momentum

going. Once she came through, a fantastic couple of strokes.

Pedersen going, she will be turning first place. The British girls,

third and fourth. The race at the moment is to the left of your screen

will stop one, two, three, four. Kaneto with the black, but Pedersen,

she is going for the victory. It is her world record. Chloe Tutton,

write to the top, she went quickly down that first 50. She has got

Pedersen next. And McKeown of Australia. Turning fast. Being taken

up in the centre by Kaneto. She is charging, making a big move. An

interesting tactic. Going with them is Molly Renshaw looking very good

indeed. Both the British girls were slower than they were in the heats

and that is fantastic. Brilliant swimming from Chloe Tutton. Kaneto,

very strong. Efimova swim is very, very fast at the back end of the

race. It is between Kaneto and Efimova for the gold medal. It would

be great if Chloe Tutton can held on. It could go anywhere. It is

between Kaneto and Efimova. It looks I get is between these. Efimova

closer to ours. Kaneto, the black hat of Japan. Look up in lane number

one. Chloe Tutton Great Britain. She is just about in bronze medal

position. Chloe Tutton, can she get the medal? The girls -- the gold

medal is going to Rie Kaneto of Japan. The simple -- the silver to

Efimova. The bronze medal to Shi of China. That was close for Chloe

Tutton. Very close indeed. A great swim. Molly Renshaw, sixth. Oh, my

goodness me. Chloe Tutton has equalled her best time. 100th of a

second slower than the new British record. She couldn't quite improve

on that. If she just gone a little bit faster. Hindsight is a great

thing. She looked like she had that bronze medal. Shi coming back very

quickly. Just to beat 61 hundredths. -- just to beat her by six one

hundredths. 1.5 seconds faster than the rest of the field, Rie Kaneto.

It is the third 50. She made her move, a brave move. That must be

going down. That is the end, isn't it? Very compact, gets a nice and

high. The leggy kickers ready. You want to dip down and go forward. A

real gap there. A brilliant victory for her. Renshaw with a red, coming

in here. It was on the stroke, wasn't it? So close. Brilliant

experience for the British women. They would be delighted to be in the

final having a shot and goodness me, didn't they have a go? The new

Olympic Champion of the women's 200 metres breaststroke, Rie Kaneto of

Japan. She takes the gold for Japan. Efimova, a second silver. Shi, the

bonds for China. And look at that. Chloe Tutton in fourth. Molly

Renshaw in sixth. Well done, ladies. Fantastic to see.

I can see on your face your disappointed. It's horrible coming

fourth. It is our fifth fourth as well. Just a bit unlucky in so many

races. That is how it is sometimes. I think you both need to be

extremely proud. This is a huge step for both of you. Lots to take away.

My goal was to make the final and I did that, and I just enjoyed it. I

think you deserve to smile. It is equal to your best time ever. We

thought you had it. If he had been more in the middle, you might have

seen her? I always get an hour and do my own race. Well done, ladies. A

great experience. The disappointment was written all

over Chloe Tutton's face. Both of them absolutely gutted. Coming into

this, Chloe Tutton was a surprise. She is surprised everyone by

swimming so quickly and we thought she was the outside chance of

getting a medal so it is devastating to come forth. But for both the

girls, they should be proud. Their first Olympics. I'm pretty sure we

have not seen the last of them. There are only 20 years of age. So

many young press -- breaststroke is. -- breaststroke swimmers. How

excited should we be? You mention the trials. Brilliant at the

European Championships. They have come to this stage. It can be quite

intimidating. But they stepped up. They looked good they held their

own. It is towards the end where they have to make a huge

improvement. A couple of those girls are older, and annex world record

holder, a swimmer who is in her late 20s. They will be picking up medals.

If they continue doing what they are doing, they will be up there and

there will be a smile on their face. Through the heats, through the

semifinals, Chloe Tutton is always said, I keep my blinkers on, I do my

own race, and she said it again. How important was it to do that than not

get distracted? Particularly when you see who else is in the race.

This week, across all sports but there has been a lot of talk about

Efimova and it is one of those, should Chloe Tutton appeal it? There

has been so much speculation on Efimova. For them, coming fourth and

sixth, it is a great achievement. A big question. We will find out.

Men's 200 metres backstroke. Andrew, Adrian.

So here is, Mitch Larkin. He had a stinker in the 100. And his

girlfriend, Emily Seebohm. He got fourth in 100. Their minds don't

seem to be in the right place. Trying too hard. Is going to have to

relax. Put some big effort in. Because Rylov, the Russian, looked

brilliant this morning. It is Larkin Murphy, in five and six. They are

both capable. The man who does 1:53 will do it.

The best time would be your opinion record. He broke the European record

this year in Moscow. He has been improving through the rounds very

comfortable. There is Larkin. He just needs to chill a bit. He has

been bashing it out. Just revert to a efficiency. Murphy is somebody who

copes with the pressure well. He delivered the goods from the middle

lane. With that gold medal under his belt, is going to quite confident.

There is nothing to lose. He has a gold medal. He can do the double. No

pressure. The USA won this the last five Olympics in a row -- in a row.

This is hard to call. It could go anywhere. Irie, the silver-medallist

from London. The final of the men's 200 metres

backstroke. Rylov of Russia, fastest and four. -- in four. The best start

was the German, close to us. Larkin, looks like he is working hard

already. An interesting tactic. He has decided he is going to go Brit.

He did this in the semifinals and it was a bit disastrous. So disastrous,

he qualified second fastest so it was not that bad but he did not come

first. Underwater, came up quite early.

What is a bit of assigned to me, the yellow hat, in the centre, he is

using his legs, flicking the water up and is splashing the water out.

You've got to drag them a little bit more. Not completely but a bit more

down the first 100. Starting to come through is Ryan Murphy. He looks

very good indeed. Deep underwater. What a term that was. Dine still

there. As Mitch Larkin got anything to come back with? This shows

whether the man has got the guts. The world champion from last year in

Kazan. Murphy's teammates from the University of California. They are

good friends. Murphy and Larkin and Rylov. He came back strongly. Unless

Larkin can respond, Murphy has got this again. Murphy's turn was

sensational. Rylov is trying. Murphy looks like he has got it. As long as

he can held on. Inside this last ten metres. USA, six Olympic titles in a

row. Murphy is going to win it. It will be on the touch. Murphy has got

it. Ryan Murphy. Golden 100, now gold in the 200 metres. Mitch Larkin

finally gets a medal and it is silver. The bonds goes to Rylov. A

new European record. Somebody he goes 1:53 will win it. The top three

of them got 1:50 three. Ryan Murphy did a brilliant job. His terms were

superb. Really excellent technique. He deserved that. Mitch Larkin held

off. We have got Larkin on the right, Rylov on the left. This is

the first length. Ryan Murphy nearest to us.

Ryan Murphy, a little glide, wasn't it? Comfortable.

Larkin on the left. Gave him some hassle threw but that was a super

swim. Doesn't it show what difference a turn makes. It's not

that difficult to do. They practice and practice and practice. We can do

it. The results of the men's 200 metres backstroke. Ryan Murphy from

the USA adds it. There, Larkin gets a medal at silver and Rylov the

bronze. Congratulations Mitch Larkin. We

were speculating the other night whether he had fallen out with his

girlfriend, Emily Seebohm, who is up in the next semifinals. She didn't

have a great night the other night. He just had a great swim so maybe

they'll move on. You don't get dragged into the gossip there. No

basis of it there. Just throwing it out there. We are rattling towards

the 200 metre individual medley because that features Michael

Phelps, Lochte and everyone there. We're

hoping that you'll stay with up with us and you should, because it will

be absolutely crackers in there. We know that it is very early in the

morning and perhaps you are up with a black coffee, a small baby, we're

parents, we've been there, hashtag the call! Let us know what you are

doing to stay awake and enjoy the swimming. Wow, Phil, those are the

eyes of a man who has seen the sun rise in the last few mornings! Maybe

he's not seen the sun. I'm sensing a theme here. The dads are working.

The dads are doing the morning feed. That's because they want to. The

sport is on! I'll do this one. Oh! Oh, kitty, there. Not sleeping one

week old twins, Libby and Katie. I've still been there. My son does

not sleep at all. If he's anything like you, Helen. I don't know what

you mean, I don't know what you mean! Right, we appreciate that we

are up in the early hours of the morning but you know what, it's

worth staying up for. The world is watching Michael Phelps. He is

carrying on his phenomenal story. The most successful Olympian of all

time and he's moving thing on to another level right here in Rio. It

will be a real fight for him tonight so not just a case of him coming out

and show boating and swanning about, it will be good racing. I will

probably do that after the race, the show boating but it is just nice to

have Michael Phelps back and he's had such a fantastic week and you

can tell that he's given it all on the line. Whereas before, he wasn't

quite as tired so you can tell that he's older now and he can't recover

as quickly and you've seen the bruises on the body with all of the

prepping that he's doing so it will be interesting to see how he goes.

He has the 200 metres to fight. They're only 20 minutes apart

tonight so it will be interesting to see how he backs that up. Britain's

Dan Wallace going in that one and we're not downplaying the chances.

He is enjoying being in there. He used to train with Ryan Lochte and

he's sparred with him many times. So he loves a crowd. Stay up for that

one. If not for Michael Phelps, for Dan Wallace. Now time for the first

semifinal of the women's 200 metre backstroke.

The third fastest qualifier for this first semifinal is Yaxin Liu of

China. The 17-year-old. Never made a major final, senior or junior but

third into this first semi and a great chance of it. Lisa Graf swum

well in the heats as well, very well indeed. So these two, reasonably

inexperienced on the world stage I'd say. And Hillary Kaldwell, well,

she's not. Canadian record holder. Commonwealth Games bronze medallist

and world championship finalist. If she goes to her PB of 2.06.8, she'll

certainly make are the final. I'm thinking maybe ECB, and Caldwell

dipping there. Graf, a really strong heat this morning. Seebohm, and

Caldwell dipping there. Graf, a really strong heat this morning.

This is the slower of the semis. I think four of the top five in the

world coming in in the second one. So really got to get amongst it and

if I was in this race, I would be going for first or second. Well,

backstroke race so I probably wouldn't get first or second. To try

to make the final. That's a good tactic. Try not to get seventh or

eighth because that wouldn't work very well, would it!

The first semifinal of the women's 200 metres backstroke. Seebohm, the

World Champion, only in lane two, and after seventh place in the final

in the 100 metres backstroke that she was meant to win, this will be

an interesting show of form for her. The first semifinal of the women's

2040 metres backstroke and it will be up at the top of the picture in

lane two on the right-hand side. Very good start indeed from Emily

Seebohm, the yellow hat of Australia. Also going well is

Ukraine in 6. A very different start. Off the beeper there.

Gustavovier in 7 and a really high position with the swimmers choosing

to go up more. Didn't make much of a difference there. Lane 4. Going over

first is Cold well, actually no. Lane 4. It is Kaldwell that's --

Caldwell who has the lead. It is interesting there. But in lane two,

Emily Seebohm, it doesn't look like she's holding the water particularly

well. There is a bit of a swimming phrase about holding the water and

you have to make sure that you get hold of it and Mike sure that you

pull your body over your hand. Leave your hand out there and then pull

your body over and she doesn't seem to be doing that. She seems to be

whizzing it through and Caldwell looks superb. But look at Caldwell.

Canada having a great meet here. And she's just half a second off

Seebohm's Commonwealth record here actually. And Calderon extending the

lead. Seebohm coming back now. The foursome at the top of the race.

Seebohm is actually... She's actually going to be eighth at this

rate in lane two. I think that the wheels fell off. She has turned

sixth but she looks awful. She really needs to come back up the top

there in the yellow hat. She's in lane 1. Just there. She's starting

to move a little bit now is Seebohm. But well, Caldwell looks good and

Seebohm looks horrible. Unfortunately. Caldwell swimming

well. She's going to win it I think. Coming back is Liu, the 17-year-old

from China. So let's just watch this final 10. It will be interesting to

see how they do here from what happens in the final as well. So

Caldwell eased up a little bit and the Chinese lady in 3 came back very

well. Very, very impressive from Liu of China and that will mean that she

will be in her first major finals, senior or junior and I can tell you

that Seebohm has come sixth. Well, the Canadians extremely happy with

Caldwell's swim, and so they should be. Seebohm really disappointing and

I would really like to know what's going on. What sort of year she's

having. I say year - she was third fastest ranked in the world coming

into this. Second fastest. Hosszu did a quick time in the heats this

morning. And that rocketed her to the top of the rankings but Seebohm,

brilliant in the Australian trials and she's just managing to deliver.

But in 2012, she was meant to win the 1040 metres backstroke and had a

bit of a shocker there on that one. And she blamed it on the fact that

she got a little bit hooked on social media. So a little bit of a

weak excuse, I thought. She stayed up too late and was doing social

media all the time, Twittering and tweeting and whatever else you do

but here... Doesn't know... Heavens above. That was... Make an emoji of

that! My goodness. Well, that was Hillary Caldwell. Caldwell winning

the first semifinal. And looked very good as did Liu of China.

Gustafsdottir of Iceland did well too.

Yeah, the guys mentioned it there but we were talking about this

earlier. Emily Seebohm blamed her lack of form in 2012 on social

media. Interesting to see - a lot of the British swimmers cup off

Twitter. Adam Peaty, James Guy, they seem to not be involved while

they're swimming. Do you think that that is really important? I think

that it has to be personal preference. I foe for me in London,

some of the athletes wanted to talk about what was happening and we had

a team discussion about it and we said, it is actually up to everyone

and their personal responsibility whether they want to go on or not

and I don't think that you should dictate that everyone has to. And

people respond differently to it. It is funny, can you imagine that there

on Twitter. So the 200 metre backstroke, people will be saying,

where is Symmons. There are exciting young prospects for Team GB? Yes,

Tasmin Piu. Obviously in the men's 200 meet, we have juk Greenback. And

we see it across all of the events. Holly Hibbert. There's so many of

the good guys and that is great to see with the British swimming that

we have that. Remember that it is one of the events that we have a

little bit of a history in. Katie Sexton, World Champion in 2003.

We've had a few good backstrokers and that leaves a legacy behind

because they have good people to chase and also those things when you

go to do swim camps and swim clinics and the people come up and meet you

and you want to be like that and leave a legacy in that event. We

can't talk about role models without mentioning Missy Franklin here.

London 2012. She has not travelled well. But such an interesting story

for me because she had a phenomenal London 2012, became the poster girl,

the all American girl, smiley and very religious, very into her

family. She's not been able to back that up and she's not found her form

over the last four years. Big debate over whether she should have gone

professional sooner? Stayed at college, what happened? I don't

know, you went to the press conference where she seemed bubbly

and smiley and happy and you don't know what's going on, whether she's

been ill or injured and it's just one of those things but she hasn't

had a good meet. You have to remember, you see it at the tennis a

lot. Not many women, there's no consistency and I think that it is
