Day 6 BBC One: 19.00-19.30 Olympics

The storms have passed, the sun is out. Hello and welcome to the

evening session in Rio. The Games took off for Team GB. Five medals

including two golds for Joe Clarke in the kayak. Today Great Britain

already have two silver medals, thanks to the incrediblible

Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley in the double skulls and a

silver medal for David Florence and Richard Hounslow, as they did in

London. We are live straight to the rugby sevens at dpi doorow. Britain

have beaten New Zealand and Argentina in an incredibly tense

quarter-final. Now on the verge of something special. Win this and they

are into a Gold Medal match. Let's go there now to join Sir Clive

Woodward and Eddie Butler. A magnificent day at the Deodoro

Stadium. Great Britain playing in red with the Pam jar starting seven

now. Five Englishmen, one Welshman and one Scotsman.

They are going to kick into a stiff breeze blowing straight down the

ground. South Africa, strong up front and speedy behind. They have

made a change here. They have been injury who is to be

replaced by Dylan Sage. Phil Burgess and James Davis, have

they worked the turnover? Instant possession and even better for Great

Britain and the forwards. Phil Burgess and James Davis. Excellent.

James Davity, outstanding last night against Argentina. A strong set play

for Team GB. And the captain, Tom Mitchell, a

quick look around for Phil Burgess. James Davis.

Down the middle. They can't get the second hand off but gets the pass to

Mitchell. Then the ball is lost.

South Africa come away. Spicman outside of him.

And Joe Burgess heading off in pursuit and arrives. Dylan Sage

presenting the ball. This is one of those big strong

forwards. Dan Northon tries to do counter

rucking. It has come to Kyle Brown, the

captain of the opening try of this semi-final. The ball squirted into

the breakdown and South Africa took advantage.

Team GB defending well. The excellent Brown. The captain of the

spring bobbing team. The footwork here and the speed coming through.

This is a great match-up between the British forwards. The Burgess and

Brown. And the ball comes out. Norton tries to get his foot on the

ball. Excellent play by Sneiman. The South African forwards are not the

big e this is Brown the captain but they are powerful.

Disappointing start from Team GB as they had turned the ball over.

That was after a great play by James Davis.

Rosco Specman led the charge. Here he is towards James Rodwell. He

should claim this. Unfortunate. The teams are normally

really good at re-starts. Rodwell decided he could not quite

get to it. Tom Mitchell to throw. James Rodwell

to catch and pass back. Phil Burgess in support. Burgess

pauses and waits for support to arrive. Britain have the penalty.

They will probably pause. They like to slow things down.

. Also, playing into a very stiff wind. They have done well here. When

Burgess makes the break he does well. He slows down, takes the hit

so that they can recycle the ball. That has given the penalty. Playing

it to win. Moving the ball from here.

Rodwell. One on one against South Africa! It is turn over ball, won by

South Africa. Here comes Norton.

De Jong. Long and looping and... Out. Well, that is a great relief

for Britain. Wow.

When they see that again. That was a walk-in try for the South African

team. But for some reason Smith come office the right foot and goes left.

The footwork here. See the wheels of Dan Norton. He comes across to put

in a fantastic tackle. Sheer gas from Norton. Team GB have the feed.

Playing to a stiff wind here, so doing OK.

Tom Mitchell gets it away. Cleared. Never going to make that much ground

there. It is a strong wind. Tactically that was the right

decision. You can't keep the ball long as the wind is strong. But he

eased down the clock. If we can put in a great defensive

set against South Africa, to get to 5-0 is good at half-time. The great

thing about the sevens, there is the different jobs.

It comes to James Davis... Phil Burgess the nearest there. Davis

ready for the hand-off. It has gone loose... Trying to get

the ball free it is a scrum that South Africa put in.

What a great break-out. James Davis is one of the stars here. For a big

guy this is great footwork. This is the key, the three British forwards,

to cope well with the South Africans.

Can they cope? The answer is yes, so far, definitely.

The penalty advantage to South Africa. Quickly taken.

Now, then. Careful. Rodwell, getting him at the third

attempt. Surely he was out of play? He was! Half-time.

Great Britain playing into the wind trail South Africa at 5-0.

South Africa will be disappointed with five points. Team GB have done

well in that half. Just the five points at the

interval. Back there shortly to bring you

up-to-date on a few things that have happened today. Katherine Grainger

has become the most decorated British woman in Olympic history

with a fifth consecutive medal. A silver medal for her and Vicky

Thornley in the double skulls and confirmation that Grainger has

retired. To the question will you go to Tokyo, she smiled: I don't think

so. Many, many congratulations to both

of them! In the canoe slalom another silver medal for dlaifd Florence and

Richard Hounslow in the C2. A great run from them. That was about 30

minutes ago. Shortly we are seeing Fiona Pennie in the women's K1

final. Qualifying second fastest. That is on BBC Four and bringing you

up-to-date at about 7.20pm. Track cycling. And the team sprint. To

follow the live action on the tennis. Andy Murray is in trouble

against Fabio Fognini of Italy. This is live on the Red Button. Fognini

breaking in the third. It is the best of three sets. So it

is a battle on for Andy Murray. Let's head back to the semi-final in

the rugby sevens. South Africa are getting a team talk at half-time. We

rejoin Eddie Butler and Clive Woodward.

Neil Powell spelling it out for the South Africans.

And in the other huddle, the great British coach has left the players

to it. A single try. Scored by the South African captain.

The key thing on the sevens is the detail. Everyone has to focus and

think correctly now. With the wind behind Team GB, there

could be a few more kicks to chase and to get Dan Norton the fastest

man on the pitch into the game. A massive seven minutes for the

players. Cecil Africa, flat and wobbling.

Taken by Dan Bivvy. The switch is with Mark been yet.

James Davis. Mark beenity points the way

downfield but overruns. James Davis is there.

A pass to Dan Norton. Now, then, the speedster. One on one. Easiest pass,

Dylan Sage. Great Britain's first try. Between the posts! What an

amazing athlete, the man on screen, Dan Norton. He is fast and the

footwork is fantastic. That came from a game James Davis puts in

here. Here the tackle and this is the

moment, a great play by James Davis. Burgess puts it in. Watch the right

foot, bang! There we go. Dylan Sage is left for nothing. That

is sevens at its best and Team GB takes the lead! The finish by Dan

Norton, the two points added by Tom Mitchell.

Here is the try scorer. Staring down.

The team that scores in seven, takes the re-start.

James Rodwell chases. He will challenge.

That is well taken by Kyle Brown. A penalty there to South Africa.

And James Davis so strong. Slowing the ball down for South

Africa. I'm surprised that the team did not kick long.

I suppose that the fear is there is a strong wind it could have gone

dead. A great take from the South

Africans. They have a chance to attack now.

De Jongh leaves there in in the field.

A South Africa knock-on. That was the pressure of the Team GB

defence. That is the tactic. Changes made. Mark Robinson coming on for

James Davis. And for South Africa, Tim Agaba.

I think that Davies may come back. Phillip Snyman has gone off for

South Africa. Bibby with the dummy and the

strength! South Africa with another penalty. Richard Kelly of New

Zealand. Hanging foreign a fraction of a second too long.

Rodwell challenging for the ball. De Jongh manages to get it away.

This is big Tim Agabba. Penalty to Great Britain this time

as Speckman tried to pass off the floor and couldn't. Mitchell was

fantastic. A big hit on his leg but he just got out of the ball very

quickly. Technically fantastic. Justin Geduld who gave away the

penalty. Another change. This is the more routine change. Marcus Watson.

It comes on. They've done this in every game. Mark Bennett, who's been

fantastic, has been really helpful in the centre. Bringing on the

slightly quicker Marcus Watson. If you look outside, Marcus Watson, Dan

Norton, you've got real wheels out there. Interesting to see how Team

GB tactically play these last few minutes. Mitchell can send this a

long way downfield, should he choose. And the throw in. Just when

the ball. Give it to Dan Bibby. The line-out is key here. Phil Burgess

and Mark Robinson either side of James Rodwell. Well taken, Rodwell.

Then to Mitchell. Bibby. Watson. A good tackle. South Africa, well,

they've dominated the breakdown and they've done it again and got the

penalty. Time-out. Got to get their defensive line up now. Marcus Watson

just caught a little bit behind the gain line. They couldn't get the

numbers there which allowed the South Africans to come in and

really, really smashed that rock and win the ball. Less than minutes,

this is a big moment. -- smashed that ruck. Kolbe takes charge of the

first phase. The replacement for Senatla has come in. And makes the

break. De Jongh. Bibby over him. South Africa still in possession.

Cecil Afrika. It's one the ball is loose.

It's come illegally. It come illegally Great Britain's way. Kolbe

wants to get his hands on the ball. Kwagga Smith slows everything down.

A minute to go. Marcus Watson, take a bow, wonderful defensive effort by

him. Saved a certain try. Less than a minute ago, this is it. This is a

place in the final on the line here for both sides. Team GB have to

defend through the lines now. Thumping tackle by Burgess on Kolbe.

The balance is irrelevant because the referee said the pass was

forward. -- the bounce. Number three, that is absolutely textbook,

kept his shoulder low. And the referee, I have to say, the

excellent Kelly from New Zealand, after giving that forward. He is

now! Team GB being clever now, just getting some subs on. Rodwell coming

off. Samuel Cross for Wales coming on. 27 seconds. I have to say...

Young Samuel Cross will not have a more important half minute in his

sporting life. I'd be tempted to kick downfield, see it South Africa

can kick it the length of the field. It will be Watson and Norton in hot

pursuit. Get a chase on, see this game out. 20 minutes to go. A few

scrummaging basics to get through first. More seconds eaten up. In

sevens, immediately, immediately the clock stops. It's 15 seconds now.

The scrums have been good in this Olympic Games. The ball goes in, the

ball goes out. Dan Bibby goofed the ball downfield. Don't give Bibby any

chance of a turnover here. The clock is running again. Mitchell to feed.

What could be the final set piece of the game. It's not out yet. It is

now. Bibby. To Norton. Norton thumps its downfield. The hooter goes. It's

all about when the ball went out. This is a bit cool. Does he give the

line-out to the South Africans? He is! Line-out given. A tenth of a

second. The ball is kicked, the whistle goes. It was a huge call by

the officials. The ball stayed in play, downfield. Here we go... South

Africa with the throw in overtime. Back South Africa's way. De Jongh

manages to get it. Red shirts while all around him, then have to form

the defensive line. One try apiece. The conversion by Tom Mitchell

separates the side. Kolbe runs into Samuel Cross. Back on his feet. Went

to ground. It's a steal by the red shirts. Dan Bibby weights. Cross! To

Bibby. Bibby hoofs it off the park. All the red shirts pour on. Great

Britain are in the Gold final. They will play Fiji. One try apiece. The

conversion was enough to send Britain into the final. Great

Britain 7-5 South Africa. STUDIO: What a fantastic, fantastic

performance. Tense match, Great Britain into the gold medal match.

That'll be coming up at 11pm your time. Now, we go to the Olympic

Whitewater Stadium where Britain's Fiona Pennie has a great chance of a

medal in a kayak. Already GB won gold yesterday with Joe Clarke.

Those are the scenes, the rapids they have to come down. It's a

slalom you take the green bits going downhill, the red ones uphill, it's

all about rhythm, precision. She is going next, let's join Helen Reeves

and Patrick Winterton. Great power shown coming out of gate

22. And now the last drive to the line, looking for Fox's time. She's

not just beating it, she's absolutely destroyed it. Chourraut

goes first. I think we've got a penalty added to Jessica Fox. If you

are confused by the caption, the reason is Jess Fox has been given a

two second penalty, means she has gone down to third, Jones second, we

are waiting to see where that is. Helen, if we can find out which game

Jess Fox was penalised on. -- which gate. I asked if it was the wind or

penalty. The important thing is that we know how they stand. Chourraut

leads, Jones of New Zealand second, the favourite Jess Fox in third. And

still two to come. One of whom comes from Great Britain. It's Fiona

Pennie. She is next. This is the lady she's got to try and beat.

Chourraut knows she has a medal, she doesn't know what colour it is.

She's in the same position Joe Clarke was in just 24 hours ago. The

British have had a great run - medals already, they've equalled

their tally from London. A gold and silver. They kept up their end of

the bargain in matching what they did four years ago but can they go

one better? Fiona Pennie, the moment of truth for her. She is a driver

right from the start, aggressive attacking paddler, just as she is

setting out on this course. Was that a touch? It might be a two second

penalty. It is a touch, could prove very costly, she has keep those

biceps working and produced one of her life if she wants to get in the

medals, because the position at the top is so tight. 98.65 is the

leading time but we've seen a lot of people make mistakes and not

recover. She is only 1.2 outside so she has the fastest course time to

that first split, it has to be good news. But for me lots of energy

expended on the first bird. Equally, as you know, she's using the boat

well, driving down. A really good line between 15 and 16, she has to

keep it clean, keep the height a good pull up. You see the wind, they

have a challenge out here. Another penalty there. It could be the end

of Fiona Pennie's chances. 4.27 outside, it'll push all the way down

into fourth position but still plenty of time to make up for the

mistakes he's made. Slipping low in the bottom of its 19, having to work

hard to get across to 20, her arms will be burning, she has to keep

control and really pick the lines, the nose bouncing on the water, can

she do a fast upstream gate? She has the power. 90 seconds through gate

22, three seconds slower than the best we've seen so far. Gets held

coming towards 23. Into the final straight, Fiona Pennie bidding for a

medal but it's not going to go her way. 7.05 behind, four penalty

seconds. Even without penalties she would have missed out on the top,

she would have gone third without penalties. Generous applause from

the crowd but it's a hard act to follow. Gold from Joe Clarke, silver

from David Florence and Richard Hounslow. She wanted to get ahead of

the game on four, miss timed, the nose popped up and hit the mouth. It

has to do with timing, make sure you fire up across the middle before

doing the turning. She'll be frustrated with that. And the two

second penalty at 17, not sure how it came, it seems to be the outside

poll. No increase on the British medal count but again worth pointing

out four finals and British boat in every single final. If you don't go

to the final you don't give yourself a chance. We've been successful in

50% of those. It's a very good record. All those involved can be

very proud. In terms of finance, the future is secured let's hope for the

next four years. It's more than that, it's the reward for the effort

that goes in. Now... Just one paddler left. She's had one reprieve

today. Kuhnle was given a 52nd penalty on her last run.

The world number one in 2014 and 2015 has not done herself any

favours with an early penalty. Penalty at gate three, finding

herself too wide, not ideal position to be in. She's got to look for that

dry line, that sharp line, really looking like she's tracking down

stream. Down 2.3 one. She'll have to work extremely hard to claw back the

time. The wind has picked up through the women's final. We've been lucky

so far. Those going later can see the polls swinging and she clatters

that. It's another two second penalty. The chance of gold has

gone. Chourraut watching her on the water, she knows gold is moments

away. John Simpson into New Zealand. As it managed to bring that gold to

Australia they wanted. Through gate 20 for Kuhnle. She is

working extremely hard trying to keep the run on track. Heavy hit.

The wind really is tricky. The last woman on the whitewater course here

at Deodoro. Kuhnle unable to turn her success in the semifinal in two

models here. 98.65 from Chourraut of Spain just too good. She takes the

gold medal and for the fourth time in succession, the last starter in

the final does not win. Chourraut takes gold and Fiona Pennie of Great

Britain in sixth position. A good run but not good enough. No medal

for Fiona Pennie but her best Olympic performance. Since four

years ago. Didn't get past the heat in Beijing. Gold goes to Spain in

K-1. We are making way for East End is on BBC One, but Olympics coverage

will continue on BBC Two.
