:00:21. > :00:28.The storms have passed, the sun is out. Hello and welcome to the
:00:29. > :00:34.evening session in Rio. The Games took off for Team GB. Five medals
:00:35. > :00:39.including two golds for Joe Clarke in the kayak. Today Great Britain
:00:40. > :00:43.already have two silver medals, thanks to the incrediblible
:00:44. > :00:48.Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley in the double skulls and a
:00:49. > :00:54.silver medal for David Florence and Richard Hounslow, as they did in
:00:55. > :00:59.London. We are live straight to the rugby sevens at dpi doorow. Britain
:01:00. > :01:03.have beaten New Zealand and Argentina in an incredibly tense
:01:04. > :01:09.quarter-final. Now on the verge of something special. Win this and they
:01:10. > :01:16.are into a Gold Medal match. Let's go there now to join Sir Clive
:01:17. > :01:19.Woodward and Eddie Butler. A magnificent day at the Deodoro
:01:20. > :01:26.Stadium. Great Britain playing in red with the Pam jar starting seven
:01:27. > :01:32.now. Five Englishmen, one Welshman and one Scotsman.
:01:33. > :01:37.They are going to kick into a stiff breeze blowing straight down the
:01:38. > :01:43.ground. South Africa, strong up front and speedy behind. They have
:01:44. > :01:54.made a change here. They have been injury who is to be
:01:55. > :02:01.replaced by Dylan Sage. Phil Burgess and James Davis, have
:02:02. > :02:07.they worked the turnover? Instant possession and even better for Great
:02:08. > :02:16.Britain and the forwards. Phil Burgess and James Davis. Excellent.
:02:17. > :02:26.James Davity, outstanding last night against Argentina. A strong set play
:02:27. > :02:30.for Team GB. And the captain, Tom Mitchell, a
:02:31. > :02:35.quick look around for Phil Burgess. James Davis.
:02:36. > :02:39.Down the middle. They can't get the second hand off but gets the pass to
:02:40. > :02:46.Mitchell. Then the ball is lost.
:02:47. > :02:53.South Africa come away. Spicman outside of him.
:02:54. > :02:59.And Joe Burgess heading off in pursuit and arrives. Dylan Sage
:03:00. > :03:05.presenting the ball. This is one of those big strong
:03:06. > :03:07.forwards. Dan Northon tries to do counter
:03:08. > :03:27.rucking. It has come to Kyle Brown, the
:03:28. > :03:32.captain of the opening try of this semi-final. The ball squirted into
:03:33. > :03:39.the breakdown and South Africa took advantage.
:03:40. > :03:43.Team GB defending well. The excellent Brown. The captain of the
:03:44. > :03:48.spring bobbing team. The footwork here and the speed coming through.
:03:49. > :03:58.This is a great match-up between the British forwards. The Burgess and
:03:59. > :04:06.Brown. And the ball comes out. Norton tries to get his foot on the
:04:07. > :04:11.ball. Excellent play by Sneiman. The South African forwards are not the
:04:12. > :04:16.big e this is Brown the captain but they are powerful.
:04:17. > :04:23.Disappointing start from Team GB as they had turned the ball over.
:04:24. > :04:37.That was after a great play by James Davis.
:04:38. > :04:43.Rosco Specman led the charge. Here he is towards James Rodwell. He
:04:44. > :04:51.should claim this. Unfortunate. The teams are normally
:04:52. > :04:53.really good at re-starts. Rodwell decided he could not quite
:04:54. > :05:15.get to it. Tom Mitchell to throw. James Rodwell
:05:16. > :05:20.to catch and pass back. Phil Burgess in support. Burgess
:05:21. > :05:26.pauses and waits for support to arrive. Britain have the penalty.
:05:27. > :05:30.They will probably pause. They like to slow things down.
:05:31. > :05:35.. Also, playing into a very stiff wind. They have done well here. When
:05:36. > :05:42.Burgess makes the break he does well. He slows down, takes the hit
:05:43. > :05:46.so that they can recycle the ball. That has given the penalty. Playing
:05:47. > :05:58.it to win. Moving the ball from here.
:05:59. > :06:09.Rodwell. One on one against South Africa! It is turn over ball, won by
:06:10. > :06:21.South Africa. Here comes Norton.
:06:22. > :06:25.De Jong. Long and looping and... Out. Well, that is a great relief
:06:26. > :06:31.for Britain. Wow.
:06:32. > :06:36.When they see that again. That was a walk-in try for the South African
:06:37. > :06:43.team. But for some reason Smith come office the right foot and goes left.
:06:44. > :06:49.The footwork here. See the wheels of Dan Norton. He comes across to put
:06:50. > :06:54.in a fantastic tackle. Sheer gas from Norton. Team GB have the feed.
:06:55. > :07:08.Playing to a stiff wind here, so doing OK.
:07:09. > :07:17.Tom Mitchell gets it away. Cleared. Never going to make that much ground
:07:18. > :07:21.there. It is a strong wind. Tactically that was the right
:07:22. > :07:25.decision. You can't keep the ball long as the wind is strong. But he
:07:26. > :07:31.eased down the clock. If we can put in a great defensive
:07:32. > :07:37.set against South Africa, to get to 5-0 is good at half-time. The great
:07:38. > :07:47.thing about the sevens, there is the different jobs.
:07:48. > :07:54.It comes to James Davis... Phil Burgess the nearest there. Davis
:07:55. > :07:59.ready for the hand-off. It has gone loose... Trying to get
:08:00. > :08:12.the ball free it is a scrum that South Africa put in.
:08:13. > :08:20.What a great break-out. James Davis is one of the stars here. For a big
:08:21. > :08:24.guy this is great footwork. This is the key, the three British forwards,
:08:25. > :08:27.to cope well with the South Africans.
:08:28. > :08:33.Can they cope? The answer is yes, so far, definitely.
:08:34. > :08:47.The penalty advantage to South Africa. Quickly taken.
:08:48. > :08:51.Now, then. Careful. Rodwell, getting him at the third
:08:52. > :08:58.attempt. Surely he was out of play? He was! Half-time.
:08:59. > :09:03.Great Britain playing into the wind trail South Africa at 5-0.
:09:04. > :09:07.South Africa will be disappointed with five points. Team GB have done
:09:08. > :09:11.well in that half. Just the five points at the
:09:12. > :09:15.interval. Back there shortly to bring you
:09:16. > :09:19.up-to-date on a few things that have happened today. Katherine Grainger
:09:20. > :09:24.has become the most decorated British woman in Olympic history
:09:25. > :09:28.with a fifth consecutive medal. A silver medal for her and Vicky
:09:29. > :09:33.Thornley in the double skulls and confirmation that Grainger has
:09:34. > :09:36.retired. To the question will you go to Tokyo, she smiled: I don't think
:09:37. > :09:49.so. Many, many congratulations to both
:09:50. > :09:54.of them! In the canoe slalom another silver medal for dlaifd Florence and
:09:55. > :09:59.Richard Hounslow in the C2. A great run from them. That was about 30
:10:00. > :10:04.minutes ago. Shortly we are seeing Fiona Pennie in the women's K1
:10:05. > :10:10.final. Qualifying second fastest. That is on BBC Four and bringing you
:10:11. > :10:16.up-to-date at about 7.20pm. Track cycling. And the team sprint. To
:10:17. > :10:21.follow the live action on the tennis. Andy Murray is in trouble
:10:22. > :10:26.against Fabio Fognini of Italy. This is live on the Red Button. Fognini
:10:27. > :10:31.breaking in the third. It is the best of three sets. So it
:10:32. > :10:36.is a battle on for Andy Murray. Let's head back to the semi-final in
:10:37. > :10:41.the rugby sevens. South Africa are getting a team talk at half-time. We
:10:42. > :10:45.rejoin Eddie Butler and Clive Woodward.
:10:46. > :10:57.Neil Powell spelling it out for the South Africans.
:10:58. > :11:03.And in the other huddle, the great British coach has left the players
:11:04. > :11:08.to it. A single try. Scored by the South African captain.
:11:09. > :11:13.The key thing on the sevens is the detail. Everyone has to focus and
:11:14. > :11:20.think correctly now. With the wind behind Team GB, there
:11:21. > :11:26.could be a few more kicks to chase and to get Dan Norton the fastest
:11:27. > :11:32.man on the pitch into the game. A massive seven minutes for the
:11:33. > :11:41.players. Cecil Africa, flat and wobbling.
:11:42. > :11:56.Taken by Dan Bivvy. The switch is with Mark been yet.
:11:57. > :12:04.James Davis. Mark beenity points the way
:12:05. > :12:09.downfield but overruns. James Davis is there.
:12:10. > :12:16.A pass to Dan Norton. Now, then, the speedster. One on one. Easiest pass,
:12:17. > :12:26.Dylan Sage. Great Britain's first try. Between the posts! What an
:12:27. > :12:32.amazing athlete, the man on screen, Dan Norton. He is fast and the
:12:33. > :12:35.footwork is fantastic. That came from a game James Davis puts in
:12:36. > :12:40.here. Here the tackle and this is the
:12:41. > :12:48.moment, a great play by James Davis. Burgess puts it in. Watch the right
:12:49. > :12:55.foot, bang! There we go. Dylan Sage is left for nothing. That
:12:56. > :13:00.is sevens at its best and Team GB takes the lead! The finish by Dan
:13:01. > :13:11.Norton, the two points added by Tom Mitchell.
:13:12. > :13:16.Here is the try scorer. Staring down.
:13:17. > :13:22.The team that scores in seven, takes the re-start.
:13:23. > :13:43.James Rodwell chases. He will challenge.
:13:44. > :13:49.That is well taken by Kyle Brown. A penalty there to South Africa.
:13:50. > :13:53.And James Davis so strong. Slowing the ball down for South
:13:54. > :13:59.Africa. I'm surprised that the team did not kick long.
:14:00. > :14:05.I suppose that the fear is there is a strong wind it could have gone
:14:06. > :14:08.dead. A great take from the South
:14:09. > :14:18.Africans. They have a chance to attack now.
:14:19. > :14:27.De Jongh leaves there in in the field.
:14:28. > :14:35.A South Africa knock-on. That was the pressure of the Team GB
:14:36. > :14:52.defence. That is the tactic. Changes made. Mark Robinson coming on for
:14:53. > :14:54.James Davis. And for South Africa, Tim Agaba.
:14:55. > :15:18.I think that Davies may come back. Phillip Snyman has gone off for
:15:19. > :15:23.South Africa. Bibby with the dummy and the
:15:24. > :15:27.strength! South Africa with another penalty. Richard Kelly of New
:15:28. > :15:37.Zealand. Hanging foreign a fraction of a second too long.
:15:38. > :15:40.Rodwell challenging for the ball. De Jongh manages to get it away.
:15:41. > :15:54.This is big Tim Agabba. Penalty to Great Britain this time
:15:55. > :15:59.as Speckman tried to pass off the floor and couldn't. Mitchell was
:16:00. > :16:06.fantastic. A big hit on his leg but he just got out of the ball very
:16:07. > :16:12.quickly. Technically fantastic. Justin Geduld who gave away the
:16:13. > :16:18.penalty. Another change. This is the more routine change. Marcus Watson.
:16:19. > :16:22.It comes on. They've done this in every game. Mark Bennett, who's been
:16:23. > :16:29.fantastic, has been really helpful in the centre. Bringing on the
:16:30. > :16:33.slightly quicker Marcus Watson. If you look outside, Marcus Watson, Dan
:16:34. > :16:39.Norton, you've got real wheels out there. Interesting to see how Team
:16:40. > :16:43.GB tactically play these last few minutes. Mitchell can send this a
:16:44. > :17:01.long way downfield, should he choose. And the throw in. Just when
:17:02. > :17:09.the ball. Give it to Dan Bibby. The line-out is key here. Phil Burgess
:17:10. > :17:19.and Mark Robinson either side of James Rodwell. Well taken, Rodwell.
:17:20. > :17:27.Then to Mitchell. Bibby. Watson. A good tackle. South Africa, well,
:17:28. > :17:34.they've dominated the breakdown and they've done it again and got the
:17:35. > :17:40.penalty. Time-out. Got to get their defensive line up now. Marcus Watson
:17:41. > :17:43.just caught a little bit behind the gain line. They couldn't get the
:17:44. > :17:47.numbers there which allowed the South Africans to come in and
:17:48. > :17:54.really, really smashed that rock and win the ball. Less than minutes,
:17:55. > :18:06.this is a big moment. -- smashed that ruck. Kolbe takes charge of the
:18:07. > :18:12.first phase. The replacement for Senatla has come in. And makes the
:18:13. > :18:26.break. De Jongh. Bibby over him. South Africa still in possession.
:18:27. > :18:28.Cecil Afrika. It's one the ball is loose.
:18:29. > :18:38.It's come illegally. It come illegally Great Britain's way. Kolbe
:18:39. > :18:44.wants to get his hands on the ball. Kwagga Smith slows everything down.
:18:45. > :18:50.A minute to go. Marcus Watson, take a bow, wonderful defensive effort by
:18:51. > :18:54.him. Saved a certain try. Less than a minute ago, this is it. This is a
:18:55. > :19:04.place in the final on the line here for both sides. Team GB have to
:19:05. > :19:11.defend through the lines now. Thumping tackle by Burgess on Kolbe.
:19:12. > :19:24.The balance is irrelevant because the referee said the pass was
:19:25. > :19:31.forward. -- the bounce. Number three, that is absolutely textbook,
:19:32. > :19:35.kept his shoulder low. And the referee, I have to say, the
:19:36. > :19:42.excellent Kelly from New Zealand, after giving that forward. He is
:19:43. > :19:48.now! Team GB being clever now, just getting some subs on. Rodwell coming
:19:49. > :19:54.off. Samuel Cross for Wales coming on. 27 seconds. I have to say...
:19:55. > :20:02.Young Samuel Cross will not have a more important half minute in his
:20:03. > :20:07.sporting life. I'd be tempted to kick downfield, see it South Africa
:20:08. > :20:13.can kick it the length of the field. It will be Watson and Norton in hot
:20:14. > :20:18.pursuit. Get a chase on, see this game out. 20 minutes to go. A few
:20:19. > :20:30.scrummaging basics to get through first. More seconds eaten up. In
:20:31. > :20:35.sevens, immediately, immediately the clock stops. It's 15 seconds now.
:20:36. > :20:39.The scrums have been good in this Olympic Games. The ball goes in, the
:20:40. > :20:48.ball goes out. Dan Bibby goofed the ball downfield. Don't give Bibby any
:20:49. > :20:54.chance of a turnover here. The clock is running again. Mitchell to feed.
:20:55. > :21:03.What could be the final set piece of the game. It's not out yet. It is
:21:04. > :21:14.now. Bibby. To Norton. Norton thumps its downfield. The hooter goes. It's
:21:15. > :21:21.all about when the ball went out. This is a bit cool. Does he give the
:21:22. > :21:29.line-out to the South Africans? He is! Line-out given. A tenth of a
:21:30. > :21:35.second. The ball is kicked, the whistle goes. It was a huge call by
:21:36. > :21:40.the officials. The ball stayed in play, downfield. Here we go... South
:21:41. > :21:59.Africa with the throw in overtime. Back South Africa's way. De Jongh
:22:00. > :22:05.manages to get it. Red shirts while all around him, then have to form
:22:06. > :22:12.the defensive line. One try apiece. The conversion by Tom Mitchell
:22:13. > :22:19.separates the side. Kolbe runs into Samuel Cross. Back on his feet. Went
:22:20. > :22:28.to ground. It's a steal by the red shirts. Dan Bibby weights. Cross! To
:22:29. > :22:33.Bibby. Bibby hoofs it off the park. All the red shirts pour on. Great
:22:34. > :22:41.Britain are in the Gold final. They will play Fiji. One try apiece. The
:22:42. > :22:48.conversion was enough to send Britain into the final. Great
:22:49. > :22:59.Britain 7-5 South Africa. STUDIO: What a fantastic, fantastic
:23:00. > :23:03.performance. Tense match, Great Britain into the gold medal match.
:23:04. > :23:06.That'll be coming up at 11pm your time. Now, we go to the Olympic
:23:07. > :23:12.Whitewater Stadium where Britain's Fiona Pennie has a great chance of a
:23:13. > :23:16.medal in a kayak. Already GB won gold yesterday with Joe Clarke.
:23:17. > :23:20.Those are the scenes, the rapids they have to come down. It's a
:23:21. > :23:25.slalom you take the green bits going downhill, the red ones uphill, it's
:23:26. > :23:26.all about rhythm, precision. She is going next, let's join Helen Reeves
:23:27. > :23:49.and Patrick Winterton. Great power shown coming out of gate
:23:50. > :23:54.22. And now the last drive to the line, looking for Fox's time. She's
:23:55. > :24:00.not just beating it, she's absolutely destroyed it. Chourraut
:24:01. > :24:04.goes first. I think we've got a penalty added to Jessica Fox. If you
:24:05. > :24:09.are confused by the caption, the reason is Jess Fox has been given a
:24:10. > :24:14.two second penalty, means she has gone down to third, Jones second, we
:24:15. > :24:20.are waiting to see where that is. Helen, if we can find out which game
:24:21. > :24:26.Jess Fox was penalised on. -- which gate. I asked if it was the wind or
:24:27. > :24:30.penalty. The important thing is that we know how they stand. Chourraut
:24:31. > :24:36.leads, Jones of New Zealand second, the favourite Jess Fox in third. And
:24:37. > :24:41.still two to come. One of whom comes from Great Britain. It's Fiona
:24:42. > :24:48.Pennie. She is next. This is the lady she's got to try and beat.
:24:49. > :24:52.Chourraut knows she has a medal, she doesn't know what colour it is.
:24:53. > :24:58.She's in the same position Joe Clarke was in just 24 hours ago. The
:24:59. > :25:01.British have had a great run - medals already, they've equalled
:25:02. > :25:05.their tally from London. A gold and silver. They kept up their end of
:25:06. > :25:10.the bargain in matching what they did four years ago but can they go
:25:11. > :25:18.one better? Fiona Pennie, the moment of truth for her. She is a driver
:25:19. > :25:23.right from the start, aggressive attacking paddler, just as she is
:25:24. > :25:28.setting out on this course. Was that a touch? It might be a two second
:25:29. > :25:32.penalty. It is a touch, could prove very costly, she has keep those
:25:33. > :25:36.biceps working and produced one of her life if she wants to get in the
:25:37. > :25:40.medals, because the position at the top is so tight. 98.65 is the
:25:41. > :25:45.leading time but we've seen a lot of people make mistakes and not
:25:46. > :25:49.recover. She is only 1.2 outside so she has the fastest course time to
:25:50. > :25:54.that first split, it has to be good news. But for me lots of energy
:25:55. > :25:59.expended on the first bird. Equally, as you know, she's using the boat
:26:00. > :26:03.well, driving down. A really good line between 15 and 16, she has to
:26:04. > :26:07.keep it clean, keep the height a good pull up. You see the wind, they
:26:08. > :26:14.have a challenge out here. Another penalty there. It could be the end
:26:15. > :26:17.of Fiona Pennie's chances. 4.27 outside, it'll push all the way down
:26:18. > :26:21.into fourth position but still plenty of time to make up for the
:26:22. > :26:28.mistakes he's made. Slipping low in the bottom of its 19, having to work
:26:29. > :26:32.hard to get across to 20, her arms will be burning, she has to keep
:26:33. > :26:38.control and really pick the lines, the nose bouncing on the water, can
:26:39. > :26:41.she do a fast upstream gate? She has the power. 90 seconds through gate
:26:42. > :26:48.22, three seconds slower than the best we've seen so far. Gets held
:26:49. > :26:51.coming towards 23. Into the final straight, Fiona Pennie bidding for a
:26:52. > :26:57.medal but it's not going to go her way. 7.05 behind, four penalty
:26:58. > :27:01.seconds. Even without penalties she would have missed out on the top,
:27:02. > :27:05.she would have gone third without penalties. Generous applause from
:27:06. > :27:09.the crowd but it's a hard act to follow. Gold from Joe Clarke, silver
:27:10. > :27:16.from David Florence and Richard Hounslow. She wanted to get ahead of
:27:17. > :27:21.the game on four, miss timed, the nose popped up and hit the mouth. It
:27:22. > :27:25.has to do with timing, make sure you fire up across the middle before
:27:26. > :27:30.doing the turning. She'll be frustrated with that. And the two
:27:31. > :27:34.second penalty at 17, not sure how it came, it seems to be the outside
:27:35. > :27:39.poll. No increase on the British medal count but again worth pointing
:27:40. > :27:44.out four finals and British boat in every single final. If you don't go
:27:45. > :27:50.to the final you don't give yourself a chance. We've been successful in
:27:51. > :27:55.50% of those. It's a very good record. All those involved can be
:27:56. > :28:01.very proud. In terms of finance, the future is secured let's hope for the
