Day 7 BBC Four: 13.00-16.00

:01:03. > :01:15.On strike. And here goes Jack. Kicking hard. There's little bit of

:01:16. > :01:25.play is only getting quicker and quicker. Everybody is on their feet.

:01:26. > :01:30.This is brilliant. Come on! She will be the Olympic champion. He is

:01:31. > :01:42.pulling away. He is going to get the gold! He becomes a legend. Greg

:01:43. > :01:49.Rutherford is the Olympic champion. She is the fastest, she has the

:01:50. > :01:56.Queen. A champion. The best all-round athlete in the world. He

:01:57. > :02:04.is the double Olympic champion, have you ever seen anything like that?

:02:05. > :02:12.That is right, after one week of Rio 2016 we are excited to finally

:02:13. > :02:16.welcome track and field to the Olympic programme. It is Friday, the

:02:17. > :02:23.weekend is around the corner, it just makes you feel like dancing,

:02:24. > :02:27.doesn't it? That is right, it is day seven. Of the Olympic Games. They

:02:28. > :02:31.made me say that. The weather here is a really toying with us, I'm so

:02:32. > :02:36.sorry. We wished for better, everyone told us it would be better

:02:37. > :02:40.than this, I have a summer outfit or under here. Unbelievable, look at

:02:41. > :02:43.the fans. Literally running for shelter. Our shelter isn't far away,

:02:44. > :02:49.pretty shortly we will take cover but we have to push through this.

:02:50. > :02:55.This is ridiculous, how will I use this device I have no idea. Shortly

:02:56. > :02:58.will be at the Olympic Stadium to see those who can run faster and

:02:59. > :03:01.throw further than most of the people on this planet but we have

:03:02. > :03:11.plenty else to pack in on the programmes afternoon. -- programme

:03:12. > :03:14.this afternoon. The men's golf competition continues, Great Britain

:03:15. > :03:19.boss Mike Justin Rose isn't far from the leaders and will have high hopes

:03:20. > :03:25.of closing the gap in the second round. -- Great Britain's Justin

:03:26. > :03:31.Rose. The athletics, heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson. And she

:03:32. > :03:38.is British, Jessica Ennis Hill, taking to the stage. Andy Murray is

:03:39. > :03:43.used to being the favourite and the reigning men's singles champion is

:03:44. > :03:48.closing in on gold again. He will seek to Steve Johnson in the

:03:49. > :03:52.quarterfinals. And there are four more golds in the swelling pool

:03:53. > :03:57.tonight, it has been Britain was my sport so far at Rio 2016 so you

:03:58. > :04:03.would not bet against them getting another tonight. Fran Halsall is in

:04:04. > :04:06.the pool. Here is how your afternoon of this drizzly day seven is

:04:07. > :04:32.looking. We will also have some badminton, so

:04:33. > :04:38.stay tuned for that. I wonder what they are doing on BBC One right now?

:04:39. > :04:40.They are building up to that showdown in the athletics, cagey tea

:04:41. > :04:51.against Jessica Ennis Hill, the first event of the day will be the

:04:52. > :04:53.100 meter hurdles. Little on it will be the women's pair, Heather

:04:54. > :04:57.Stanning Helen Glover, can they add another Olympic gold in their name

:04:58. > :05:01.after that it will be the men's four. What incredible history Great

:05:02. > :05:08.Britain have in that competition. Can they do it again? Seriously,

:05:09. > :05:13.while I've spoken to you I have been trying to work this thing but now it

:05:14. > :05:20.seems to be doing OK, I will show you this, that won't last for much

:05:21. > :05:26.longer. This is what is keeping us on a, bit of tissue paper. I told

:05:27. > :05:30.you the golf tournament has started after 112 years of waiting for it at

:05:31. > :05:35.the Olympic Games. Before coming into this lots of the talk was about

:05:36. > :05:39.the big names missing out, but the majority of the best golfers on the

:05:40. > :05:43.planet are here and there are doing a pretty good job, however, so far

:05:44. > :05:47.after the first round there is a man worked 90 in the world only one

:05:48. > :05:55.title to his name in 2016 so far, the Australian Marcus Fraser, after

:05:56. > :05:59.you, it is fine. I was just getting to the big moment. Don't worry about

:06:00. > :06:02.it. We are just live on the telly. Marcus Fraser leading the way.

:06:03. > :06:12.Typical. From Australia, Marcus Fraser.

:06:13. > :06:26.Another birdie. Can't be. It is. He is continuing on his merry way.

:06:27. > :06:32.Certainly he is mastering the conditions. Marcus Fraser, birdie

:06:33. > :06:40.specialist. He has only gone and done it again. He has yet another

:06:41. > :06:46.birdie opportunity. Another birdie. This for birdie. What a grand round

:06:47. > :06:53.of golf, this is for the ninth birdie of the round. Brilliant golf.

:06:54. > :07:00.That is an astonishing start to the Olympic Games for Australia's Marcus

:07:01. > :07:01.Fraser. The man from down under topping the leaderboard overnight

:07:02. > :07:13.after an impressive opening round. Henrik Stenson, the open champion,

:07:14. > :07:19.very good round as well. Justin Rose is only four of the lead, who added

:07:20. > :07:22.it to remember yesterday. We waited over 100 years for an Olympic golf

:07:23. > :07:27.tournament and it takes a British player to bag the first hole in one.

:07:28. > :07:34.The fault was shot came on the par-3/4, 191 yards, he wasn't sure

:07:35. > :07:39.he landed it until right now. I fired all around for Justin Rose and

:07:40. > :07:45.cool, bit of history for him and he has been enjoying himself at the

:07:46. > :07:50.Olympic Games. -- high-fives. It just got a little bit better

:07:51. > :07:57.yesterday. He is underway at the Marapendi golf course after his

:07:58. > :08:02.opening tee shot only a few moments ago on the coast. He trails the

:08:03. > :08:08.leaders by four coming into this but a good start for the 2013 open

:08:09. > :08:10.champion. Let's look at some of the first round scores. And how we'll

:08:11. > :08:35.see the groups go on round After that: Graham DeLaet is second

:08:36. > :08:40.on the -- Adilson Da Silva -- Marcus Fraser of Australia is the leader.

:08:41. > :08:45.Eight under par. Can he approve -- improve on yesterday's score?

:08:46. > :08:52.Movement on the leaderboard overnight from Gregory Bourdy,

:08:53. > :08:53.approaching the par-4/3, will yield birdie to take him five under and

:08:54. > :09:05.take a share of second. That was the very birdie that took

:09:06. > :09:10.him to five under. Then he would follow that up the second birdie of

:09:11. > :09:15.the day at the par-5/5. He has the outright second place, Frenchman is

:09:16. > :09:20.six under. I spoke about the weather, how could die because it

:09:21. > :09:24.has been awful? On the coast at the golf reserve they are pretty exposed

:09:25. > :09:28.to the coast as well. You can be sure they will be exposed some wind

:09:29. > :09:34.and weather and wetness as well. You might have heard about the Brazilian

:09:35. > :09:40.rodent, the caravan? The capybara as they call them, they've been rife

:09:41. > :09:44.around the Olympic course, so they don't just have the weather, but

:09:45. > :09:50.wouldn't as well. Let's see the golf in the company of Alan Wilkins and

:09:51. > :09:55.Dwayne De locker for around two. -- for round two.

:09:56. > :10:06.COMMENTATOR: Sergio Garcia on the third. Patrick

:10:07. > :10:11.Reed has gone into the water. Garcia, birdie at the first, par at

:10:12. > :10:24.second. Second shot here now and three.

:10:25. > :10:28.It is a grill or's ball right next to the hole. Garcia playing live and

:10:29. > :10:48.skipping it through. Ryan Fox. From New Zealand at two.

:10:49. > :11:00.He had par at the 1st. Third shot. Of this poor four -- of this par

:11:01. > :11:04.four. Superbly judged from there. Wonderful. Birdie putt for Gregory

:11:05. > :11:16.Bourdy on six. Here has made some very good putts

:11:17. > :11:24.this morning. This looks good. That tap in par for the Frenchman.

:11:25. > :11:37.Reid is playing from the Hazard, not quite in the water. Just leaves it

:11:38. > :11:44.short. Very lucky there is a catching area there. Matt Kuchar was

:11:45. > :11:52.not so lucky and five. Ian Vegas, him as well, going straight into the

:11:53. > :11:59.water. Holding the umbrella. The caddies do have a terrible time when

:12:00. > :12:11.it rains. On seven this is the Finn, Marco Ilonen. For par. To stay at

:12:12. > :12:14.2-under par. 461 metres, par-4, it is a difficult hole and that is a

:12:15. > :12:35.very good save for Marco Ilonen. Just over 450 metres, nearly 500

:12:36. > :12:40.yard par-4, difficult hole. It has a wide landing area, though. And

:12:41. > :12:44.opportunities to leave it short but is up to an elevated green with a

:12:45. > :12:47.heavy for back slope in the front but over that initial level you have

:12:48. > :12:58.a gentle slope on the back of the green with a pin tucked away back

:12:59. > :13:01.right, it will be difficult approaches to a whole that is

:13:02. > :13:05.playing very long today. A good start for the day for Gregory

:13:06. > :13:34.Bourdy, two birdies coming on the third and the fifth.

:13:35. > :13:39.Gregory Bourdy, and the rain really hammering down on the back of the

:13:40. > :14:06.Frenchman. The 7th hole, par-4. Books. -- Oops.

:14:07. > :14:11.Completely unaware or not bothered? But Gregory Bourdy going along very

:14:12. > :14:16.nicely, 6-under par, Henrik Stenson will be well aware Gregory Bourdy is

:14:17. > :14:19.making nice shots on the golf course, got some early scoring in an

:14:20. > :14:23.Stensness 5-under for his opening round and will want to make a child

:14:24. > :14:28.himself to close down on a Marcus Fraser, the leader. It is a good

:14:29. > :14:32.group to follow, Henrik Stenson, 66, Thongchai Jaidee 70 and Raphael

:14:33. > :14:41.Cabrera Bello 67. That is when you feed off the

:14:42. > :14:42.positive energy around you. This Guy has nothing less than positive

:14:43. > :14:57.energy. He doesn't use the word defence. He

:14:58. > :15:02.is not as charismatic on the cause as many of the other players, but

:15:03. > :15:10.behind-the-scenes, he is a real joker, such a character. Because of

:15:11. > :15:18.his composed manner on the golf course, perhaps he is seen as a nice

:15:19. > :15:26.man at times, but he is one of the funniest golfers on the Tour.

:15:27. > :15:39.Flamboyant is bunch I Jaidee. Thrilled to be an Olympian. He won

:15:40. > :15:44.the Valentine's tournament in South Korea in the filthiest conditions.

:15:45. > :15:49.Me had so many jackets on, he had the balaclava on. It was horrible.

:15:50. > :15:55.He may come from Thailand where it is warm all the year round, but he

:15:56. > :16:04.is used to bad conditions. These conditions will not faze Jaidee. You

:16:05. > :16:15.can miss right of the opening hole. Not sure he's to carry on with the

:16:16. > :16:21.short-sleeved shirt. He put together a good round yesterday. A couple of

:16:22. > :16:30.false hole, but several birdies in a round of 4-under. It is a good round

:16:31. > :16:35.of golf, 67. Looking at the 63 of Marcus Fraser. He will be off in

:16:36. > :16:37.about 45 minutes. It was so exceptional, nine birdies on the

:16:38. > :17:06.card for Marcus Fraser. Keeping it down the left side. It is

:17:07. > :17:18.a good distance from Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Henrik Stenson,

:17:19. > :17:31.marches off quickly. Third shot on the first, Justin Rose earlier.

:17:32. > :17:46.Shot! That's for birdie. Just feeding away. Stay there. Got to

:17:47. > :17:57.play right of this flag when you are coming in. Garcia, for birdie. At

:17:58. > :17:59.the 3rd. Needs to go 4-under and join his compatriot Rafael

:18:00. > :18:18.Cabrera-Bello, who has just teed off. Just missed. Rickie Fowler,

:18:19. > :18:24.fourth shot to the first. He is having problems again on this 1st

:18:25. > :18:35.hole. Double bogey start yesterday. That was a three putt. Yes. Problem

:18:36. > :18:41.more on the green yesterday, but now he is struggling to get to the

:18:42. > :18:55.green. Write about nine or ten feet for his par. Nervous distance, not

:18:56. > :19:10.comfortable. Emily on a grey load, for birdie. -- Ileana Grillo. Good

:19:11. > :19:17.stroke, makes his birdie. Par, par start. 2-under for the Championship.

:19:18. > :19:36.Miko Elena Allen on the eighth. Superb shot. Right over the pin.

:19:37. > :19:45.Posing for the photographs. Statuesque. Wonderful strike.

:19:46. > :19:50.Playing a little shorter today, the par three eighths. Only 152 metres

:19:51. > :20:17.as Justin Rose prepares for his birdie putt.

:20:18. > :20:25.That goal has made its way from where it pitched, some five or six

:20:26. > :20:39.feet. Along the proposition for Justin Rose. Up the slope. Good

:20:40. > :20:50.putt! Very good putt. Settles for his par. Up ahead on seven. Gregory

:20:51. > :21:00.Bourdy. Long par 7th hole. 2-under for his round. 240 metres to play.

:21:01. > :21:12.It is reachable. Slight elevation as you edged towards the green at

:21:13. > :21:24.seven. Looking to chase it up. Misdirected bunker. Gosh. Poached.

:21:25. > :21:30.He has got a fair bit of bunker to get over before it finds any surface

:21:31. > :21:45.on the green. The shots on number four, Sergio Garcia. Don't plug, he

:21:46. > :21:54.says. The sand is very soft and it is getting softer and heavier. What

:21:55. > :22:05.has he done here? Hit that just a little fat. Hand comes of the club.

:22:06. > :22:14.He has got some work to do here on them before, Sergio Garcia. Now,

:22:15. > :22:22.Rickie Fowler. This is about a nine foot putt for par. Rickie Fowler,

:22:23. > :22:27.that will do him a power of good. No double bogey today, very good up and

:22:28. > :22:40.down from Rickie Fowler. Starts with a par on the first in round two.

:22:41. > :22:48.The hard-hitting Australian. Beautifully judged. That will be a

:22:49. > :22:52.birdie opportunity, but agonisingly close for him howling it for the

:22:53. > :23:13.eagle. Fabulous tee shot in here. Superb tee shot. Starting to repair

:23:14. > :23:26.some of the damage on day one. Back to 1-over par.

:23:27. > :23:42.Would love to see him having a good round. Super putt. He too is finding

:23:43. > :23:47.a few birdies in his round. Wonderful birdie at the 1st when he

:23:48. > :23:49.nearly hit the flagstick. Birdied five, birdied six. Couple of dropped

:23:50. > :24:17.shots though. The crowds are a little smaller

:24:18. > :24:33.today, in the wake of the 11. Please welcome to the tee, from Brazil,

:24:34. > :24:41.Adilson Da Silva. From Canada, Graeme Day late. 66 the Canada's

:24:42. > :25:02.Graeme Day late. Adilson Da Silva hit the first tee

:25:03. > :25:14.shot on the first day of the Olympic Golf Course and here on day one.

:25:15. > :25:25.This is group 11. Next ago, Padraig Harrington, Marcus Fraser going off

:25:26. > :25:30.in about 35 minutes. Conditions just marginally a little better than they

:25:31. > :25:38.were ten minutes ago. Still raining and still a little wind about.

:25:39. > :25:50.Adilson Da Silva, what has he got in store today for the fans?

:25:51. > :25:59.Lives in South Africa. I think there are a few South Africans that would

:26:00. > :26:04.call him a de facto South African, but has proudly represented Brazil

:26:05. > :26:19.down the years, has Adilson Da Silva. Multiple winner on South

:26:20. > :26:26.Africa's Sunshine Tour. Doesn't hit the ball an enormous distance, but

:26:27. > :26:33.has a fine putting stroke. Has gone over the chair. Someone hit the

:26:34. > :26:42.chair. Someone nearly hit the chair, yes. Good scoring early on from

:26:43. > :27:28.Delaet. Change of club from driver to

:27:29. > :27:35.3-wood. It is the testing par-5, so you have the opportunity, if you're

:27:36. > :27:42.going to play a three shot, with the slight elevation all the way up the

:27:43. > :27:48.hole, over 600 yards, you have the option of playing the shorter club

:27:49. > :27:55.more accurate from the tee. In these conditions, An has made the right

:27:56. > :28:05.choice. Give yourself a comfortable distance for your third. Even then,

:28:06. > :28:08.his distance is right up there. Go up ahead to seven. In the sand on

:28:09. > :28:24.the 7th hole, Gregory Bourdy. That made a noise. Thick, heavy

:28:25. > :28:33.sands, but he has done well to get it out. Hacked it out to the side.

:28:34. > :28:40.Trying to bring the club down at a steep angle, lift it high up. Came

:28:41. > :28:46.out at the direction the clubhead was going. But, he is on the

:28:47. > :28:55.surface. Henrik Stenson, third shot to the first.

:28:56. > :29:10.Made some very good putts in round one. Sergio Garcia, got himself into

:29:11. > :29:17.a spot of bother by missing down the near side. Now, even worse. Has

:29:18. > :29:25.stayed up in the face, hasn't even trickled back down. A moment ago,

:29:26. > :29:38.this is Sergio Garcia now. Good touch to get out of there. For his

:29:39. > :29:55.par on seven, Gregory Bourdy. To stay 6-under par. Didn't move a

:29:56. > :30:00.millimetre. Little knee buckle as it goes over the lip. First dropped

:30:01. > :30:09.shots for the Frenchman. He goes back to five. Scott Hend, he needs a

:30:10. > :30:16.whole clutch of birdies. Ten on the tenth yesterday. Good putt, deserves

:30:17. > :30:24.the birdie. 1-under for the day, 2-over for this Championship.

:30:25. > :30:30.Jaidee, still in the sleeveless shirt. He needs this for his par.

:30:31. > :30:37.Bit of a problem on the first. It has got to hurry. Jaidee, starts

:30:38. > :30:51.with a bogey at the 1st and a shake of the head.

:30:52. > :31:35.He's playing the first birdie putt. Four under, the Spaniard. A little

:31:36. > :31:43.break, has it got enough? Just slides past on the right. That will

:31:44. > :31:52.best safe par to start his second round. He played some nice golf

:31:53. > :31:53.yesterday. Yes. Some impressive birdies and strokes, good, clean

:31:54. > :32:06.contact. Gregory Bourdy, having bogeyed seven

:32:07. > :32:10.drops back to 5-under, where he is in a tie for second with Stenson and

:32:11. > :32:19.DeLaet. Tap in bogey for Thongchai Jaidee. He is at even par for the

:32:20. > :32:30.Championship on his second round. Henrik Stenson surveying his birdie

:32:31. > :32:39.putt. The trustee putter that served him so well at Royal Troon. And a

:32:40. > :32:47.record score of 264. Phil Mickelson, even shooting a bogey 365, couldn't

:32:48. > :32:56.make ground on the flying suite. A bogey free 65. His putt on the first

:32:57. > :33:09.four Henrik Stenson, who began the first day with an impressive 66. He

:33:10. > :33:14.has given himself a chance, about 15 feet for birdie at the 1st. The

:33:15. > :33:21.caddies given him a read and he's given himself a read. The first

:33:22. > :33:30.hole, second round, Stenson for birdie.

:33:31. > :33:45.What a fabulous putt. Henrik Stenson, birdie at first. Cools

:33:46. > :33:49.Bewdley -- he goes immediately to 6-under par. As Bourdy drops down

:33:50. > :33:59.from six to 5-under, Stenson goes from five to 6-under through 19 in

:34:00. > :34:07.this Championship. Justin Rose at the 2nd. Are fairly long approach,

:34:08. > :34:15.over 200 metres still to go into the scree. He has the distance, went for

:34:16. > :34:25.the safe side of the green. He will have a lengthy birdie putt, not much

:34:26. > :34:29.movement in it. Garcia has beaten in the sand and some of it has given

:34:30. > :34:36.him a problem, he has a bogey putt on four. That is a great save,

:34:37. > :34:41.damage limitation from Sergio. You celebrate a bogey like that like a

:34:42. > :34:45.par if you struggled in the way he did. On eight having dropped one on

:34:46. > :34:59.seven. Good distance, not risking going

:35:00. > :35:15.over the bunker is trying to attack the flag.

:35:16. > :36:05.Safely getting on at the 8th. Just checking the wind, Henrik Stenson.

:36:06. > :36:14.So often Henrik Stenson will take the 3-wood out of his bag, properly

:36:15. > :36:20.his favourite club -- it is probably his favourite. The driver now on

:36:21. > :36:33.two, great birdie start for the Swede. Beautiful. Beautiful says his

:36:34. > :36:38.caddy. Straight down the middle from Henrik Stenson. There has been

:36:39. > :36:46.several bogeys on the second hole, not a single birdie today full

:36:47. > :36:51.Henrik Stenson knows it is reachable but not many have managed to find

:36:52. > :37:01.the birdie, birdie opportunity at two for Justin Rose. It is on the

:37:02. > :37:05.par-4 second. So many players have come up short having played a chip

:37:06. > :37:10.for their third, this is a birdie putt for the Englishman, always on

:37:11. > :37:15.the top side. No right-to-left swing for him at all. There could be a

:37:16. > :37:26.slight movement right-to-left from that angle but almost negligible.

:37:27. > :37:36.Rose misses his birdie at two at again no reward for any other

:37:37. > :37:40.golfers. He was David Hearn. -- here is. That is a lovely putt, just

:37:41. > :37:50.getting it and that is how he closes his front nine, birdie at the 9th.

:37:51. > :37:57.Out in 33 for David Hearn, dropped one at seven but three birdies after

:37:58. > :38:01.opening a fine birdie at one. Great opportunity to par at two and great

:38:02. > :38:05.opportunities at five and nine, but Marcus Fraser still atop the

:38:06. > :38:10.leaderboard, Stenson is 1-under through the day on 6-under par,

:38:11. > :38:17.Bourdy drops back to 5-under. DeLaet just heading on course. Garcia after

:38:18. > :38:25.a birdie to start he's even par and back onto under. The likes of Grillo

:38:26. > :38:34.trying to improve their round. Jacko Van Zyl halfway through his round

:38:35. > :38:39.today, still even. David Hearn two Hearn is even for the Championship.

:38:40. > :38:52.On course, just not quite happening for Ryan Fox just now.

:38:53. > :39:13.It is really coming down now, the rain. Very heavy.

:39:14. > :39:20.He has done well. That is a very good shot considering the rain is

:39:21. > :39:25.coming down particularly heavily. We are sitting just behind the 18th

:39:26. > :39:34.green and we can get a good view of both the first and tenth and 16th 17

:39:35. > :39:43.and 18 are inside from here, but our commentary position is being put

:39:44. > :39:51.into, just a bit of wind about. DeLaet, third shot on one.

:39:52. > :40:00.Needs to get this close. Good shot from the Canadian. Very makeable

:40:01. > :40:06.birdie putt for Canada's Graham DeLaet and it is hammering down. It

:40:07. > :40:12.is terrible. And for the players playing down the first, the wind

:40:13. > :40:13.will be coming back into them and the rain will hit them at an awkward

:40:14. > :40:24.angle. 92 yards to the hole for this

:40:25. > :40:29.workshop for the South Korean. Nicely judged. There is a plus for

:40:30. > :40:33.these players in that the greens will become more receptive. They got

:40:34. > :40:38.a bit quicker towards the end of yesterday with the strong wind.

:40:39. > :40:45.The caddy will need to step away for the stroke, but Bourdy going for his

:40:46. > :40:52.birdie putt at eight -- Gregory Bourdy.

:40:53. > :41:04.Short again, he had been guilty of that row number of occasions. -- on

:41:05. > :41:26.a number. Audio on the second green -- Bourdy on the.

:41:27. > :41:36.Thongchai Jaidee under that white umbrella. Surely he has, he still

:41:37. > :41:42.hasn't got the top on. He has still got the summer polo shirt on.

:41:43. > :41:58.Eventually this will be a second shot to the second, 211 metres to

:41:59. > :42:07.go, 231 yards. It is horrible right now. The worst of the squalls across

:42:08. > :42:10.the golf course. 211 metres. 231 yards. Second shot to the second for

:42:11. > :42:36.Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee. He doesn't like it. It is pretty

:42:37. > :42:41.difficult for everyone right now. Conditions are certainly not ideal

:42:42. > :42:45.for the golfers or anybody with a camera. What is your weather

:42:46. > :42:49.forecasting? And try and catch up with you because we have about 20

:42:50. > :42:54.minutes before Marcus Fraser of Australia begins his second round.

:42:55. > :43:07.Those watching in Australia, Marcus Fraser going out at 1003. 30% of

:43:08. > :43:11.showers for the next hour. It doesn't seem like it is going to be

:43:12. > :43:29.letting up. Cabrera Bello, also his second, two

:43:30. > :43:31.to five yards to the pin. 4-under par, very good round of golf on day

:43:32. > :43:58.one for the Spaniard. Trying to chase it up and leaves it

:43:59. > :44:06.short. It is OK, that is the shot we've seen this morning. Lots of

:44:07. > :44:09.players coming up short on two. It is a really difficult hole. Adilson

:44:10. > :44:15.Da Silva after his approach, this birdie putt at one. This to go to

:44:16. > :44:23.even par for the Championship. Good-looking! He gave it a chance.

:44:24. > :44:28.Adilson Da Silva, good birdie at the 1st. Back to even for the

:44:29. > :44:32.Championship. Wonderful if he had a good round of golf today. As you

:44:33. > :44:35.would expect, it is a decent gallery following Adilson Da Silva up on

:44:36. > :45:34.two. Caddy likes it. He has such an

:45:35. > :45:39.advantage, so much of the field, bags of power. I don't think anyone

:45:40. > :45:46.has flown it over the second like that today. Justin Rose crept onto

:45:47. > :45:50.it, we have seen so many players coming up short, Henrik Stenson has

:45:51. > :45:58.powered his second to the back of the green. Read and Rose were among

:45:59. > :46:07.the few who reached the green. Graham Delaet, full on. Just died on

:46:08. > :46:15.its journey. It is a pity for Graham DeLaet. Good approach shot in.

:46:16. > :46:36.Please welcome to the tee, the players in group 13.

:46:37. > :46:56.Gavin Green, one of the two Malaysians. Thomas Pieters, the tall

:46:57. > :47:13.Belgian with a 67 in round one. It is going to be the second of the

:47:14. > :47:24.Thai players. The next group will feature the first-round leader,

:47:25. > :47:32.Marcus Fraser. That will be in 11 minutes from now. On the first,

:47:33. > :48:07.second round. Gavin Green, has won a couple of

:48:08. > :48:13.times on the Asian development Tour. It is a feeder talk for the Asian

:48:14. > :48:30.Tour, but he has brought good form coming into the Olympic Games. 73 in

:48:31. > :48:41.the first round. 2-over par. And now, Thomas Pieters. 67 and his

:48:42. > :48:50.fellow Belgian, Nicholas Colsaerts with a 68, so the Belgian challenge

:48:51. > :48:52.is strong. Two long hitting golfers. Thomas Pieters, round two. Nice

:48:53. > :49:13.looking swing. Up ahead to the second, third shot

:49:14. > :49:15.to the second the Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Gives himself a

:49:16. > :49:45.decent tapping for par. That is a fine stroke. That will

:49:46. > :49:49.pull one back. Sits beautifully for a birdie. Up to the ninth, second

:49:50. > :50:01.shot for the Frenchman, Gregory Bourdy. 5-under par. Dropped one on

:50:02. > :50:10.seven. He is attacking these pins. Has made a couple of very good putts

:50:11. > :50:15.as well. Gregory Bourdy, with a birdie chance online. Henrik

:50:16. > :50:32.Stenson. What a good putt that was on the

:50:33. > :50:43.first from Henrik Stenson to just ignite his second round. Such a good

:50:44. > :50:50.footing to start your round on a positive. Henrik Stenson, third

:50:51. > :50:55.shot, it is a birdie putt. Only player to go through the green

:50:56. > :51:09.today. One in a handful to even reach the green. Perfect! Birdie,

:51:10. > :51:17.birdie start for Henrik Stenson. He gave it such a firm stroke, it was

:51:18. > :51:23.going well past if it missed the Cup. He has been putting together

:51:24. > :51:30.such great rounds. Looks like he is well set for another here. Birdie,

:51:31. > :51:39.birdie start. That was travelling at a rate of knots. Acknowledges the

:51:40. > :51:46.crowd and Marcus Stenson closes down. Marcus Fraser will be watching

:51:47. > :52:01.this, about to tee off and thinking that Henrik Stenson is making a

:52:02. > :52:15.great charge. This will be a par putt the Jaidee. Pulled that. Going

:52:16. > :52:28.to be a dropped shot the Thongchai Jaidee. Sergio Garcia. That was the

:52:29. > :52:35.biggest cheer of the day, that long putt for birdie by Henrik Stenson.

:52:36. > :52:40.It will be soon, it will be Marcus Fraser going out. He will look at

:52:41. > :52:51.the leaderboard and see it on his way out to the first tee. This

:52:52. > :53:03.should be a formality for par per Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Just getting a

:53:04. > :53:10.bit of protection from the conditions, Henrik Stenson. Good

:53:11. > :53:21.stuff. Rafael Cabrera-Bello, says 4-under. Birdie chance, Gregory

:53:22. > :53:38.Bourdy on nine. Good, firm putting stroke from the

:53:39. > :53:47.Frenchman. Saddles for his par, but he will feel that is a birdie chance

:53:48. > :53:51.gone. Wonderful approach stroke, deserved a birdie, but left a few

:53:52. > :53:57.birdie opportunities short earlier on in the round. That one just

:53:58. > :54:06.chasing it through. Gregory Bourdy, out in 34, 1-under. Third shot here

:54:07. > :54:19.on the third for Justin Rose. Long, birdie opportunity. Difficult for

:54:20. > :54:24.the camera people today, because the rain is coming in at an angle. That

:54:25. > :54:32.always had a bit of a chance from Justin Rose. The Caddy says, well

:54:33. > :54:36.done, that is a good putt. Using the slope and the bunker just to break

:54:37. > :54:51.that back in. Garcia, birdie opportunity. Slides it by right. He

:54:52. > :54:56.was nearly on the green in two. Just had a little chip up the green for

:54:57. > :55:03.his third. Couldn't find the confident clip. Short game letting

:55:04. > :55:11.him down this time. Marcus Fraser going out and about eight minutes.

:55:12. > :55:28.Henrik Stenson, birdie, birdie start.

:55:29. > :55:36.Also going well is David Hearn of Canada. Conditions are quite

:55:37. > :55:53.challenging. Squalls of rain across the golf course.

:55:54. > :56:07.Danny Leigh, he has got a great chance here. Slips in and drops in.

:56:08. > :56:17.Tremendous putt from Danny Leigh. Big smile. Big smile from the Korean

:56:18. > :56:34.Bjorn New Zealander. Henrik Stenson at three. Birdie, birdie start. Go,

:56:35. > :56:43.go he says. Has he left that short? Might have been just trying...

:56:44. > :56:49.Patrick Reed was lucky, he went in the hazard. Played out of the

:56:50. > :56:57.hazard. Little catchment area. It looked like Henrik Stenson went

:56:58. > :57:05.short, didn't quite carry the hazard. Maybe there is a little

:57:06. > :57:14.catchment area. Rafael Cabrera-Bello, on the tee at three.

:57:15. > :57:29.Doesn't like it. Also cutting it very fine. It might not be safe

:57:30. > :57:36.either. Just not sure how much of our hazard area there is there.

:57:37. > :57:51.Conditions proving to be tough at the moment. This is a tough hole,

:57:52. > :57:59.Miko linen made birdie here. Thongchai Jaidee, still braving the

:58:00. > :58:06.elements. He is safely over. The wind is coming off the right as they

:58:07. > :58:10.go down the third, so we'll be pushing the wind towards the water.

:58:11. > :58:20.A little inexcusable for a few of these shots. Birdie chance on the

:58:21. > :58:33.fourth. Come on! Well done. Good putt.

:58:34. > :58:44.This is the second hole. A few players that find themselves short

:58:45. > :58:58.of the green. One of them, Graham DeLaet and Adilson Da Silva. Adilson

:58:59. > :59:00.Da Silva, marching back to play his shot. This is the home favourite,

:59:01. > :59:28.sole representative for his nation. Lovely touch! Just doesn't drop.

:59:29. > :59:35.Slides by, but birdie at the 1st four Adilson Da Silva and that will

:59:36. > :59:41.be attacked in par surely? Just behind the hole. -- attack in.

:59:42. > :59:51.Graham DeLaet is just in front of the green as well. Henrik Stenson

:59:52. > :59:56.with birdie, birdie start. We are hearing he is in the water on three

:59:57. > :00:07.and so is Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Both of them in the water but Thongchai

:00:08. > :00:38.Jaidee, is safely over the water in two.

:00:39. > :00:46.We will leave the golf for the moment. What a fantastic rise up the

:00:47. > :00:49.leaderboard by Sweden's Henrik Stenson, the 2016 open champion with

:00:50. > :00:56.a couple of birdies from his opening two. One shot off the leader. As you

:00:57. > :00:59.seem, loads of brollies up, so we don't expect many low scores. The

:01:00. > :01:04.leader Marcus Fraser goes off shortly, you can watch it all on the

:01:05. > :01:10.BBC sport website and the app and the Red Button. It looks like they

:01:11. > :01:15.are enjoying the rain as much as we have. We've moved up to sheltered

:01:16. > :01:18.position and we will be away from the golf and speak about badminton.

:01:19. > :01:24.The tournament has gone off the rate yesterday. The great openness one is

:01:25. > :01:30.Chris and Gabby Adcock in the mixed doubles. The last time they got a

:01:31. > :01:36.medal was in 2004 and Adcock are keen to change that record this time

:01:37. > :01:40.around. We train six or seven hours a day, six days a week. The tyres

:01:41. > :01:44.days are difficult to push through but we Love it and we wouldn't

:01:45. > :01:48.change it for the world. History is made at the Commonwealth Games.

:01:49. > :01:51.Husband and wife have won the Gold Medal in the mixed doubles. We've

:01:52. > :01:59.made ourselves quite ahead of the pack on the world stage. You must

:02:00. > :02:03.then 24/7 together? Doesn't never get too much? And Woodward for me

:02:04. > :02:09.and my husband. Lots of people say that. They say they couldn't do it,

:02:10. > :02:13.but I think we're so used to it we live the great moments together but

:02:14. > :02:17.over the tournaments where things don't go as well, it is not anyone's

:02:18. > :02:21.fault, those other times it can be more difficult because we are both

:02:22. > :02:29.down and disappointed. When did you get together? At training camp,

:02:30. > :02:36.under 17. What goes on a training camp stays at training camp. And

:02:37. > :02:42.much of the year do spend away? This year it has been a lot, a good half

:02:43. > :02:47.of the year. 40 or 50% at least. What is the first thing you do when

:02:48. > :02:54.you've been away? Have a bowl of cereal. It sounds strange but we

:02:55. > :02:58.don't have much milk when in Asia and things like that, we got be

:02:59. > :03:04.careful what we have. We will get a pint of milk at the petrol station.

:03:05. > :03:08.The we are back in your house, nice place to come back to after being

:03:09. > :03:12.away for so long. You Love coming home, it's nice to be able to cook

:03:13. > :03:19.your own food and begin your own home, this is the happiest place we

:03:20. > :03:23.are after a tournament. You did brilliantly by winning the super

:03:24. > :03:28.series finals, what does it mean the world of badminton? It was an

:03:29. > :03:32.enormous win, by far our biggest in our career to date on the top eight

:03:33. > :03:36.players in the world in pairs go there and fight for the finals at

:03:37. > :03:42.the end of the year, so to come out on top when everyone was there was

:03:43. > :03:46.an amazing feeling, mixed doubles in badminton was very open going into

:03:47. > :03:50.the Olympic Games, maybe one pair are favourites but five or six below

:03:51. > :03:54.that are fighting for all of the medals. You have the title in the

:03:55. > :03:58.bag, Rio coming up, does the preparation for this Olympics feel

:03:59. > :04:05.different to your preparation for 2012? And going this time,

:04:06. > :04:08.obviously. It feels different because it's difficult for me to

:04:09. > :04:12.comment because I did not have that preparation for an Olympic Games

:04:13. > :04:14.like Chris did but I obviously has that overwhelming feeling of

:04:15. > :04:19.excitement that I will go to my first Olympic Games, training is

:04:20. > :04:24.going well, we feel like we're at the peak of our career and into

:04:25. > :04:29.form. In the Olympics whether it be searched or even third or fourth is

:04:30. > :04:34.still exciting. It is just another badminton tournament that we want to

:04:35. > :04:40.play well in and we want to win. It's the dream for any athlete, if

:04:41. > :04:46.we play well it will look after itself. Well, they had overly

:04:47. > :04:52.difficult start to their first match of the tournament. They are up

:04:53. > :04:58.against the tries of the medallists from 2012. They lost that match by

:04:59. > :05:03.2-1 and they need at least two wins to make it into the knockout stages

:05:04. > :05:09.only the top two make it out of the groups. This is the state of group B

:05:10. > :05:14.right now. China lead the way and Denmark, who had victory in their

:05:15. > :05:18.opening game. It is the Danish pair that the Great Britain pair will

:05:19. > :05:29.take on in the match coming up just now. Chris and Gabby Adcock taking

:05:30. > :05:32.on Fisher and Pedersen Denmark. It will be a really important match for

:05:33. > :05:37.them. There was a bit of a reshuffle in the structure yesterday, things

:05:38. > :05:41.were delayed by about an hour and a half. Things a bit rejigged, we're

:05:42. > :05:47.watching the women's doubles right now. Very shortly we will see Chris

:05:48. > :05:52.and Gabby Adcock taking to the stage. I mentioned 2004, that was

:05:53. > :05:57.the time Gale ends and Nathan Robertson got a fantastic silver for

:05:58. > :06:01.Great Britain in 2004 and this is the first time since then the Great

:06:02. > :06:05.Britain have had representation in each of the five categories of the

:06:06. > :06:12.badminton. It is the big guys we're hoping to see, Adcock, Chris and

:06:13. > :06:15.Gabby going in the mixed doubles Merritt Shreck shortly come you can

:06:16. > :06:17.see it on the website or the Red Button but for now we will speak

:06:18. > :07:06.athletics. MOTIVATIONAL MUSIC. It is a battle

:07:07. > :07:11.of huge proportions. We've been speaking about his head-to-head

:07:12. > :07:14.between Jessica Ennis Hill and Katarina Johnson-Thompson for four

:07:15. > :07:17.years but it's not be able to happen because of injury, illness, poor

:07:18. > :07:22.form and the children in the case of desk Ennis-Hill, but now is the time

:07:23. > :07:30.for the two of them to go head-to-head at the Rio Olympic

:07:31. > :07:35.Games. Into the Olympic Stadium, we will go for the first time and see

:07:36. > :07:39.the track and field taking to the stage. Next up on the track will be

:07:40. > :07:44.the men's 800 metres, David Rudisha going against Michael Rimmer for we

:07:45. > :07:48.see could Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Dennis at -- desk Hill going

:07:49. > :07:54.head-to-head in the woman said on high jump the next event for them.

:07:55. > :07:57.And then Jo Pavey, Britain's oldest winner in the 10,000 metres at the

:07:58. > :08:03.European Championships a couple of years ago, she has representing and

:08:04. > :08:07.proving that age is just a number. That will be at ten past three.

:08:08. > :08:13.After the first event of the heptathlon it is Jessica Ennis Hill

:08:14. > :08:18.who leads the standings just now. Let's take you into the arena and

:08:19. > :08:21.get you a little bit of athletics. Talking us through the first on the

:08:22. > :08:29.athletics play is Brendan Foster and Steve Cram.

:08:30. > :08:39.Thank you, a slight dampness in a hearing Rio on day one of the

:08:40. > :08:42.athletics. The track starting to dry out a little, the drizzle has

:08:43. > :08:49.thankfully stopped after the 100 hurdles heats, great start to the

:08:50. > :08:53.heptathlon for Jess and KJT probably more of an average start for her but

:08:54. > :09:01.safely through the first event, they will move on to the high jump next.

:09:02. > :09:06.As we looked down on the track, the men out for the first of 800 metres

:09:07. > :09:10.heats, and some of them are pretty tasty. The first three will go

:09:11. > :09:15.through and the three fastest losers, 24 go through to three

:09:16. > :09:22.semifinals, which will be held tomorrow. Michael Rimmer has David

:09:23. > :09:30.Rudisha in his heat, Elliott Giles, the very exciting youngster going

:09:31. > :09:34.for Great Britain. A lot of interest in Boris Berian, the man who

:09:35. > :09:42.surprisingly came through to win the world indoor Championships in

:09:43. > :09:49.Portland in March. A real display of frontrunning on that occasion. Amal

:09:50. > :09:52.took to the wall -- world by Storm last year and a bronze medal at the

:09:53. > :10:00.World Championships in Beijing, not quite as good as that this year. We

:10:01. > :10:11.will have IMA Silliman, another former world champion and 1500

:10:12. > :10:21.metres. -- Suleiman. As Andrew said earlier, the crowd finally starting

:10:22. > :10:27.to build a little. There was a good crowd in years morning. The smack in

:10:28. > :10:31.here. There will be the 10,000 metre final to look for two, there are

:10:32. > :10:35.some finals on mornings and we expect the stadium to be much better

:10:36. > :10:46.populated in the evening sessions. Here is the Suleiman. His coach was

:10:47. > :10:54.arrested in Spain recently over allegations of his group involved in

:10:55. > :10:58.administering drugs etc, but just now he has been released and no

:10:59. > :11:03.further charges have been brought. Obviously that is disruptive to the

:11:04. > :11:09.entire group including Zebedee Bala and Suleiman. Boris Berian, an

:11:10. > :11:17.exciting man to watch. He is a real character. It will be interesting to

:11:18. > :11:21.see how he goes. The Americans have three very good athletes, certainly

:11:22. > :11:25.two of them in very good form. We will see Clint Murphy shortly other

:11:26. > :11:30.heats. Here's Amel Tuka, last year he had a great habit of sitting at

:11:31. > :11:35.the back and coming storming through and running a lot of even pace

:11:36. > :11:38.races, got rid -- great results doing that. Hasn't been as

:11:39. > :11:44.successful on the Diamond League circuit this year.

:11:45. > :11:57.Tuka, Berian and so the man to watch for. David of Brazil also. Abraham

:11:58. > :12:02.Rotich, former Kenyan burning for Bahrain on the outside. Probably say

:12:03. > :12:06.that a lot in these games. Good morning Brendan Foster, welcome to

:12:07. > :12:09.the Olympics. Thank you, an interesting hobbling to the men's

:12:10. > :12:13.800 metres heats, Boris Berian, the American running in the style that

:12:14. > :12:18.we became accustomed to, he ran indoors in the World Championships

:12:19. > :12:22.in Portland, he ran like this but it will be difficult to run heats,

:12:23. > :12:26.semifinal and final in this manner, there he goes down the home straight

:12:27. > :12:30.with the crowd, to get in the white vest is following him closely and

:12:31. > :12:35.moving towards him as he slows going into the bell. 50.7, very fast

:12:36. > :12:43.opening to the first round of the men's 800 metres, Berian continues

:12:44. > :12:46.to lead. Kane has been all over the place trying to squeeze into third,

:12:47. > :12:53.pushing and shoving the Brazilian. Has a look behind and decides he

:12:54. > :13:00.will move. Berian and Suleiman the big names here, controlling it. Tuka

:13:01. > :13:03.looking to attack. With 200 to go. Only three definite qualifying with

:13:04. > :13:08.so many heats you don't want to be the fastest losers but. Berian still

:13:09. > :13:12.looking good, a lot of athletes would panic when they've been in

:13:13. > :13:16.front so long but he is good at holding his form and position,

:13:17. > :13:21.Suleiman just moving wide and these three, beginning to pull away. The

:13:22. > :13:26.Brazilian doing his best to get there. But these three, Berian just

:13:27. > :13:33.keep going into the life is Suleiman wins it and Tuka and Berian are the

:13:34. > :13:37.three qualifiers. Not slow. 1:45.48. A bit of an indication of what is to

:13:38. > :13:42.come, getting out of the rounds in 800 is not easy. That was harder

:13:43. > :13:49.than it needed to be. Berian after leading began to fade but there is

:13:50. > :13:53.Tuka, comfortable, the flag for Bosnia-Herzegovina in the opening

:13:54. > :14:00.ceremony, happy man today. Suleiman in second place. There they go into

:14:01. > :14:04.the finishing straight, Berian has led for the first that and begins to

:14:05. > :14:08.fade, Suleiman, the more accomplished 5000 metre runner and

:14:09. > :14:13.Tuka in the right -- white vest just holding off. Third and fourth place

:14:14. > :14:18.to be a real athlete getting a great cheer from the sparse crowd. There

:14:19. > :14:25.goes a Suleiman looking good and strong. Berian unsurprisingly

:14:26. > :14:28.looking tired, just a little too fast on 800 metres, it really is

:14:29. > :14:32.about gauging your effort, not how fast you can go on first lap whether

:14:33. > :14:34.you can conserve your energy and hold it the finishing straight.

:14:35. > :15:00.Berian is suffering a little. The first of the men's heats

:15:01. > :15:02.underway. This is the first of the British challenges in Katarina

:15:03. > :15:09.Johnson-Thompson going third from the right. A decent start. It is all

:15:10. > :15:14.based on times. Something close to your personal best. Just slightly

:15:15. > :15:22.outside that the Katarina Johnson-Thompson. The Dutch athlete

:15:23. > :15:29.came through to win it the Katarina Johnson-Thompson's time, 13.40

:15:30. > :15:31.eight. Happy to get safely through bullocking for a quicker time.

:15:32. > :15:42.Jessica Ennis-Hill was the quickest. She got off to flying start. She was

:15:43. > :15:51.the only athlete to go under 13 seconds. You saw her reaction. That

:15:52. > :15:56.is a very good start, quicker start and she had on the way to winning

:15:57. > :16:00.the title in Beijing last year, so a good start for Jessica Ennis-Hill.

:16:01. > :16:05.This is how it left the standings after the first of the events. They

:16:06. > :16:15.have high jump, shot put and 200 metres to come later today. Jessica

:16:16. > :16:19.Ennis-Hill in the lead. Further down you find Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

:16:20. > :16:25.But she has stronger events, she is a very good 200 metres runner and a

:16:26. > :16:38.very good high jumper, Katarina Johnson-Thompson. No one beyond the

:16:39. > :16:42.automatic qualification of 65.50. We are in the second round so the

:16:43. > :16:50.discus throwers are struggling with these damp conditions. That is

:16:51. > :17:02.better. Beyond the Goldline. Glimpse of his coach, the old javelin

:17:03. > :17:06.thrower. Maybe a automatic qualifier. Take your shoes off, you

:17:07. > :17:14.get three attempts. The finals tomorrow morning. Slight change to

:17:15. > :17:18.the Olympic timetable. There are a few morning finals and the discus is

:17:19. > :17:25.one of them. The Austrian looks like he has just booked his place in the

:17:26. > :17:34.second round. That might have been enough. 65.86, he is in the final.

:17:35. > :17:43.There is the world leader. 64.60 nine. 100 metres shy of auto

:17:44. > :17:58.qualification. Very powerful. It looks good. There is the big man. He

:17:59. > :18:09.has got three of the top five throws in the world this year. Great Polish

:18:10. > :18:20.heavy throwers in all the events, including the hammer. It is indeed

:18:21. > :18:31.beyond auto qualifying. He is in the final. Two of the most slender

:18:32. > :18:44.figures of the second heat in the men's 800 metres.

:18:45. > :18:54.Luke Mathews, the talented young Australian. Three to go through

:18:55. > :19:01.automatically. Plus the fastest losers over seven heats. You want to

:19:02. > :19:07.make it brisk to make sure you have a chance at a fastest loser as well.

:19:08. > :19:24.Luke Mathews on the inside. Running for Australia. The European champion

:19:25. > :19:30.is Kszczot. Slower opening lap. Now they are throwing it open to the

:19:31. > :19:37.sprint. Guys are in their positions now. It becomes a tactical race at

:19:38. > :19:42.52.7. It will all change now. Coming down the back straight. The big

:19:43. > :19:53.stars haven't even moved into contention yet. Rafith Rodriguez is

:19:54. > :20:01.being challenged now. Cheruiyot begins to make his move as well.

:20:02. > :20:09.Kszczot, it is such a talent, such power. His work is almost done. He

:20:10. > :20:25.can just ease down a little bit. Cheruiyot, ambling through.

:20:26. > :20:31.Cheruiyot is there. Strong finish as well from Arroyo. Disappointing run

:20:32. > :20:38.from Luke Mathews. But Kszczot, outstanding athlete, very strong.

:20:39. > :20:44.There they are, down the back straight. Cheruiyot, head down and

:20:45. > :20:52.not even making a move yet. There goes Kszczot, an impressive burst of

:20:53. > :20:56.speed. Opening yards within the space of a few. Cheruiyot in second

:20:57. > :21:02.place, coming round the rest of the athletes. The European champion,

:21:03. > :21:11.looking at the screen, able to relax and gauges at that. Experienced 800

:21:12. > :21:18.metre runner, Adams Kszczot. Arroyo Porto Rican was impressive.

:21:19. > :21:23.Cheruiyot, didn't have any problem at all. Look about burst of speed.

:21:24. > :21:31.It will be something the other athletes will note. That was, the

:21:32. > :21:35.time split will be very impressive. Look at the distance, but rolling

:21:36. > :21:40.through in second place, Cheruiyot looking comfortable. Anyone in the

:21:41. > :21:45.Kenyan team who has come through the strength of those trials and has got

:21:46. > :21:51.here in a position, will be a contender. What a talent from

:21:52. > :21:58.Kszczot to have that injection of speed. It is a terrific weapon in

:21:59. > :22:05.your armoury and in a slow run race, he can apply that pressure. You can

:22:06. > :22:16.do that when it is 52.7, very good run by the Polish athlete.

:22:17. > :22:22.Intriguing how you approach these heats as a middle-distance runner.

:22:23. > :22:29.Kszczot was well off the pace in the first lap, but really took it on. In

:22:30. > :22:34.the next heat we will see David Rudisha and Michael Rimmer. On

:22:35. > :22:38.paper, he should be able to get through the heat, but it hasn't

:22:39. > :22:43.always been so straightforward for him, not quite got his tactics

:22:44. > :22:48.right? With Michael, you get very nervous coming into the races. He

:22:49. > :22:53.has a tendency to try and save a little bit for the coming rounds.

:22:54. > :22:58.You can't really do that, you have to raise each one as a final. When

:22:59. > :23:02.you are as good as David Rudisha, you can save something for the final

:23:03. > :23:06.rounds, otherwise you have two raise each times. But Michael is in the

:23:07. > :23:11.strongest form he has been in for a long time. He knows he is running

:23:12. > :23:16.well, has been training well and is in a good place mentally. It is not

:23:17. > :23:23.a bad heat to be able to follow what David Rudisha does. There he is on

:23:24. > :23:28.the track, Michael Rimmer. He was in Beijing and London, so knows what

:23:29. > :23:33.it's like to be in this arena. He now has the extra endurance and can

:23:34. > :23:38.sit behind David Rudisha and follow him home? That would be a great race

:23:39. > :23:44.plan, but you have to be reactive and understand the pace, what you

:23:45. > :23:48.intend to do in the race. We have got to have a plan. Especially with

:23:49. > :23:53.Michael, he needs to be in a good position and be prepared to attack.

:23:54. > :23:58.They are so cruel, these heats. The Brazilian will go through as one of

:23:59. > :24:05.the fastest losers. At the moment. But you don't want to be relying on

:24:06. > :24:10.that? No, you don't. You have to stay out of trouble and in a

:24:11. > :24:20.position where you can react. There are different ways of doing that,

:24:21. > :24:32.Kszczot sat back. There is David Rudisha with the magnificent world

:24:33. > :24:36.record in London. Shows you how hard they are to come by. He missed out

:24:37. > :24:45.in Moscow to injury, but came back in Beijing. Is he at his imperious

:24:46. > :24:51.best? He is getting close to it, he did get beaten in the trials, but as

:24:52. > :24:55.he points out, you also did in 2015 but came back and won the world

:24:56. > :25:00.title. I don't think we'll see a world record. Not in the heats and

:25:01. > :25:04.not in these conditions, it is not particularly pleasant out there,

:25:05. > :25:11.Steve Cram, it is like a rainy day in Sunderland? I have no idea what

:25:12. > :25:22.you're talking about, it never rains in Sunderland. It is warming up and

:25:23. > :25:34.the sun is trying to get out. It is a big key to the Michael Rimmer. I

:25:35. > :25:45.thought, David Rudisha, and also, van Rensburg and Johnson from India.

:25:46. > :25:56.The top three, we need to watch out for the Canadian as well. Michael is

:25:57. > :26:02.a great runner, this is his third Olympics, has never made the final.

:26:03. > :26:08.That is something he would like to rectify if he can, as Paul is

:26:09. > :26:14.saying, he is in great shape. Michael was the first to leave the

:26:15. > :26:22.camp to come into Rio on the first morning. This is Clayton Murphy, the

:26:23. > :26:28.Pan-American champion and I think he will be a big flat. Little bit at

:26:29. > :26:33.inexperienced at major championships, but very good runner,

:26:34. > :26:37.Clayton Murphy. Heat three, the first three to go three. David

:26:38. > :26:43.Rudisha is in decent shape, but I think he is vulnerable, I think he

:26:44. > :26:52.has lost the air of invincibility, even more so than in 2014 when he

:26:53. > :26:55.was losing too many races for his liking. People not afraid to

:26:56. > :27:03.challenge him in his front running role. It is Paes of Brazil. Michael

:27:04. > :27:08.Rimmer just in a good spot. Johnson nearly falling. Murphy nearly went

:27:09. > :27:14.into the back of him, the American. The ending, Johnson with the

:27:15. > :27:18.headband, almost taking a stumble, but Michael Rimmer kept out of

:27:19. > :27:22.trouble. That was to close for comfort. Finding themselves in a

:27:23. > :27:27.position where they like to be. Not good as 2012, but is it going to be

:27:28. > :27:34.good enough? 52.3, controlling the race. David Rudisha is happy in the

:27:35. > :27:40.front. He doesn't tend to win unless he goes to the front. He is trying

:27:41. > :27:44.to do it the way he wants to do it, which is accelerating from the

:27:45. > :27:49.front, opening up a few yards. They are looking at the world record

:27:50. > :27:54.holder for 800 metres. He looks fantastic and powerful. He has a bit

:27:55. > :28:01.more in his armoury than perhaps he had earlier in the season. Michael

:28:02. > :28:05.Rimmer finding room on the inside. He has got to finish in the top

:28:06. > :28:14.three. Still a lot of athletes in with a chance of qualifying. Clayton

:28:15. > :28:18.Murphy, of the USA will struggle. Van Rensburg will take second place.

:28:19. > :28:26.Michael Rimmer, hanging on for third. Well done to him. Clayton

:28:27. > :28:31.Murphy holds his head in his hands. The big American talent knows it

:28:32. > :28:34.wasn't a good performance. But great performance from David Rudisha, I

:28:35. > :28:39.don't think there were any surprises. Can he do it in the

:28:40. > :28:44.final? But Michael Rimmer kept out of trouble, moved out when he needed

:28:45. > :28:51.to, used his experience well and when the acceleration from David

:28:52. > :28:56.Rudisha came, he did well to avoid that. Just slowed a little and put

:28:57. > :29:00.his hands out to protect himself. David Rudisha just stretching from

:29:01. > :29:05.the front, doing it the way he wanted to do. And then the American,

:29:06. > :29:12.Clayton Murphy in fourth place. Trying to get Michael Rimmer, but

:29:13. > :29:17.Michael Rimmer running strongly. David Rudisha stretching out,

:29:18. > :29:22.running comfortably. Enzema in second place. Michael Rimmer, it was

:29:23. > :29:27.a very good performance by Michael Rimmer. He put himself in the right

:29:28. > :29:33.place and accelerated in the finishing straight. Van Rensburg

:29:34. > :29:36.slowing, Michael very comfortable. David Rudisha crossing the line

:29:37. > :29:43.without any trouble. Bit of a warning for the rest of them, he is

:29:44. > :29:47.nearly back to his best, or is he? But a disappointment for Clayton

:29:48. > :29:55.Murphy the American champion, but well done Michael Rimmer.

:29:56. > :30:02.Get the finalist Clevedon first round, well done. You never leave

:30:03. > :30:08.what it was to do. I was in Beijing last year and it is so slow, when it

:30:09. > :30:14.set off I thought, happy days, this will suit me, nice and relaxed. I

:30:15. > :30:18.felt OK, not brilliant but the plan this year is to hopefully get better

:30:19. > :30:22.as the rounds go on rather than get spent, so fingers crossed my body is

:30:23. > :30:24.more awake and alive and I will hopefully run better tomorrow. How

:30:25. > :30:29.much does your previous Olympic experience count, you're now in your

:30:30. > :30:37.third Olympics? It is something that I think it is in my favour. I've

:30:38. > :30:45.been here before, seen it before, lots of changes. Initially riddled

:30:46. > :30:48.all 50 minute Scott, next they to 25 minutes. That has changed quickly

:30:49. > :30:52.and got to think on your feet. It is a bit hectic, first day they are all

:30:53. > :30:57.over the place but the experience helped me to stay calm and wait for

:30:58. > :31:05.my chance to get on the track. You impressed, well done. Thank you.

:31:06. > :31:10.A very good run from Michael, all with the third time this season he's

:31:11. > :31:19.gone under 1.46 but did when he needed to. Michael Rimmer has to

:31:20. > :31:23.wait and see -- Clayton Murphy has deceived that is good enough for a

:31:24. > :31:27.fastest loser spot but we still have foreseen that to come. That scene

:31:28. > :31:33.where was it in fastest losers, the results from the previous heats, he

:31:34. > :31:41.won the Brazilian who finished fourth. Suleiman looked very

:31:42. > :31:52.comfortable with Amel Tuka hanging on a little. From heat to, the man

:31:53. > :32:01.in third hanging onto the fastest losers is Mohammed of Egypt. Adam

:32:02. > :32:05.Kazak looked strong. He had the injection of pace and version --

:32:06. > :32:13.Ferguson rotted looked comfortable with Anders Arroyo of Puerto Rican.

:32:14. > :32:17.Michael Rimmer doing enough and handling quite a jostling dormant in

:32:18. > :32:21.the race well to get through. He will be relieved. Interesting what

:32:22. > :32:26.he said about the cold times changing things being all over the

:32:27. > :32:31.place, just explain what is going on and how that affects you? You are

:32:32. > :32:36.told before you come to the track when last call will be, when you

:32:37. > :32:39.have to have passed through the cold room and the first morning they

:32:40. > :32:43.don't know what is the other side so when you're told 50 minutes, you

:32:44. > :32:46.think you need to do some jogging beforehand and have done a good

:32:47. > :32:50.amount of strides before you go in in case there isn't anywhere to

:32:51. > :32:53.stride out and jog around after you've gone through, they were told

:32:54. > :32:57.50 minutes and when they get down that has changed to 25 because it is

:32:58. > :33:03.close, the warm up track is just there, they could walk straight in.

:33:04. > :33:07.25 minutes is better but it doesn't involve being flexible and adjusting

:33:08. > :33:10.your warm up and preparation. Elliott Giles is going in the next

:33:11. > :33:18.heat, what a fascinating and interesting career he has had. An

:33:19. > :33:21.incredibly terrible motorcycle accident two years ago and did some

:33:22. > :33:25.temporary brain damage and hurt all parts of his body. Here he is at the

:33:26. > :33:30.Olympic Games, got himself through the trials in magnificent style. He

:33:31. > :33:33.won the trials and got through that amazingly but then he went to the

:33:34. > :33:38.European Championship and gotten so a medal and the qualifying time. He

:33:39. > :33:42.got himself to the Olympic Games in a Championship race. He has fighting

:33:43. > :33:46.talk because he said he isn't here just to get through committee wants

:33:47. > :33:50.to be a financier was he can do. I like his attitude. It is a great

:33:51. > :33:55.attitude, not a bad heat. That might be a final and see what. To get into

:33:56. > :34:00.a semifinal is a good achievement is never mind getting to the final. He

:34:01. > :34:04.lines up alongside some very good athletes. Charles Jock, third in the

:34:05. > :34:09.US trials. Already is his appointment there. Cafferkey dabbles

:34:10. > :34:15.in lane two but Elliott Giles, with they go. Really starting to believe

:34:16. > :34:19.he belongs in this sort of company after taking bronze at the European

:34:20. > :34:24.Championships ahead of big names like Amel Tuka and beer on rise boss

:34:25. > :34:29.and getting himself in the mix after delaying a little on the start.

:34:30. > :34:32.Right in there just now, as we saw in the last you can get a bit of

:34:33. > :34:37.jostling. You don't want to be involved in much of that but Charles

:34:38. > :34:42.Jock just behind their angelic tiles and the second behind Africa cuter.

:34:43. > :34:48.It is good to see a young athlete come on it he has done -- as he has

:34:49. > :34:52.done. Before he wasn't even on the short list for this British team and

:34:53. > :34:55.he has come through this first Championship and European Jebet

:34:56. > :34:59.chips and gets a medal and beat some very good athletes in the process.

:35:00. > :35:02.Without him on this stage looking comfortable, he has to be more

:35:03. > :35:07.concentrated than he has ever been before now. 53 is a slow, which

:35:08. > :35:10.means they will come from behind with a rush. Gita wobbling a little,

:35:11. > :35:14.touch the inside of the track and Elliott tells is competing like he

:35:15. > :35:18.means it and really, they are on the shoulder of one of the very good

:35:19. > :35:22.athletes, one of the outstanding athletes will go past him. A bit of

:35:23. > :35:26.a bump, now, we will find out how deep you can take and what his

:35:27. > :35:29.reserves are. He is back in fifth now and has worked back into

:35:30. > :35:34.position. Now he has to attack. Wesley Vazquez, the top 40 readers

:35:35. > :35:38.leading and leaving them just now. Denmark hasn't had a good season but

:35:39. > :35:41.he is running well in fourth, Elliott trials must dig deep and

:35:42. > :35:50.find something extra. Jock trying to get there as well, but it is the

:35:51. > :35:53.Algerian. Kenyon and Denmark trying to is the glue, Elliott Giles left

:35:54. > :35:58.behind. He is out of it. The key takes it ahead of boom it and the

:35:59. > :36:01.Algerian hits that just hanging on for the third of somatic place.

:36:02. > :36:07.Elliott Giles did not quite have it and it came down to it in the final

:36:08. > :36:12.200 metres. A forlorn look at the screen from Giles, it wasn't there

:36:13. > :36:15.and he gave it his best. Not to be for Elliott Giles, there were

:36:16. > :36:21.quicker men and perhaps more experienced men in that heat.

:36:22. > :36:26.Certainly where, including Alfred Kipketer. If you can win the check

:36:27. > :36:29.that Mick Kenyon Championship year pretty good athlete and we look at

:36:30. > :36:32.Elliott Giles, you will be very disappointed with that. I thought he

:36:33. > :36:37.put himself in a very good position going into the Bell and then he

:36:38. > :36:41.worked his way back, which isn't the way do it. He should be working his

:36:42. > :36:47.way up to the 600 meter point come on here years on that bend as much

:36:48. > :36:52.here he is. Running out of legs as Alfred comes down the home straight

:36:53. > :36:58.with Algeria running to qualify and a disappointing opening to the

:36:59. > :37:03.Olympic Games for young Elliott Giles. He promised such a lot, the

:37:04. > :37:06.European Jebet chips run of his club as he was a Championship runner but

:37:07. > :37:10.maybe this is one Championship as a bit too far in his first year as an

:37:11. > :37:18.international athlete. RFID Kokkinakis driving down the whole

:37:19. > :37:24.straight. -- Alfred Kipketer. All three Kenyans through the semifinal

:37:25. > :37:29.and a fast finish but the result has the three, the Algerian holding on

:37:30. > :37:35.to that position. I would think it disappointed Elliott Giles and that

:37:36. > :37:39.was a bit of a baptism of fire. He looked like he was on the stage and

:37:40. > :37:44.looked like he was at home when it came to the bell, but then the

:37:45. > :37:47.strength and, as you said, these periods of those athletes.

:37:48. > :37:52.Disappointment compiled by the fact that was the slowest of the heats,

:37:53. > :37:59.it was a time within his reach, the winning time in 1:46.60 one. The

:38:00. > :38:02.American athlete struggling a little as well, Clayton Murphy still in one

:38:03. > :38:05.of the fastest losers positions but Elliott Giles will not go through,

:38:06. > :38:16.his Olympics ends here. It has been a long road back to

:38:17. > :38:19.recovery for New Zealand's possibly greatest athlete, Valerie Adams,

:38:20. > :38:28.first round of women's shot put qualification. She has made that

:38:29. > :38:33.look so easy. That line is 18 metres 40. That is how to qualify, it is

:38:34. > :38:38.like the old Valerie Adams. Bidding to become the third time Olympic

:38:39. > :38:45.champion, no woman has ever done that in the history of the games.

:38:46. > :38:53.Valerie Adams, 1974, -- 19 .74, solid throw put into the final

:38:54. > :38:59.tonight. In the discus, valid -- very few qualifiers so far and it

:39:00. > :39:09.looks like he might have joined those qualifiers. We saw

:39:10. > :39:13.Malachowski, but that does me but the Lithuanian, a season best of

:39:14. > :39:19.63.60. I think he just went beyond it. A bit greasy underfoot, just

:39:20. > :39:27.drying out, you can see the puddles around the circle. 65.18, the season

:39:28. > :39:32.best and third place in this first pole. He was the world indoor

:39:33. > :39:36.champion, Michelle Carter, one of the contenders for gold. Valerie

:39:37. > :39:43.Adams, big statement from her in qualifying. Bit slower than we saw

:39:44. > :39:47.from Adams but it is good. Beyond automatic qualification. In the

:39:48. > :39:52.first round. That story is building, you have the world indoor champion

:39:53. > :39:56.and the world leader, Gong. The European Championship recently in

:39:57. > :39:58.Amsterdam goes in the other group, but Valerie Adams leading the way.

:39:59. > :40:16.Carter not far behind. 800 metres athletes are ready for

:40:17. > :40:20.heat five, let's tidy up the result from the previous heat first.

:40:21. > :40:24.Clearly disappointing for Elliott Giles who hope to go further, but

:40:25. > :40:29.down in seventh, not a particularly quick heat but the Kenyans look

:40:30. > :40:44.strong again. Alfred Kipketer going through. Andres Pila be doing well.

:40:45. > :40:47.-- Andres Bube. It is very busy, the woman tied up in the attack on been

:40:48. > :40:53.trying to get their practice jumps in between 800 heats, it is very

:40:54. > :41:01.crowded. KJT just looking for her coat, I think, there somewhere

:41:02. > :41:05.perhaps. Must be up there somewhere. Anyway, it has been a bit difficult

:41:06. > :41:12.for them to fit in warm up jumps between these 800 heats. A little

:41:13. > :41:19.water on the surface as well in the high jump area. They are trying to

:41:20. > :41:26.clear some of it up, it isn't too bad. Onto heat five, we still have

:41:27. > :41:29.around 1:46.1 will get you through in fourth place and that might be

:41:30. > :41:38.required because this is quite an even heat. Nigel Amos is a big name

:41:39. > :41:40.here. Makhloufi is the Olympic champion for 1500 metres, famously

:41:41. > :41:48.lined up in the 800 and pretty much stepped off the track rather

:41:49. > :41:55.controversially. He is contesting both events here, we will wait and

:41:56. > :42:02.see. Amos Hammer to Lima had a great couple of years. Only 22 and manual

:42:03. > :42:09.is pushing Rudisha 1:41.73 back in 2013, has been quite as good this

:42:10. > :42:15.year. One to injury problems. -- one or two. He isn't the prettiest

:42:16. > :42:19.runner in the world but is very effective. Scott Lopez of Spain is

:42:20. > :42:29.very experienced, Benedetti and let Kent Lane two. : so, the new

:42:30. > :42:34.Japanese record-holder in lane one. Interesting to see if they've been

:42:35. > :42:37.watching the previous heats and Paula Radcliffe has come to join me

:42:38. > :42:42.in the commentary box and where they've been keeping an eye on times

:42:43. > :42:47.etc. Lots of experience in this one, Lopez makes you think I won't hang

:42:48. > :42:51.around too much, you are probably aware that this is such an even

:42:52. > :42:56.heat? This is very even heat and a difficult one. When you have the

:42:57. > :43:01.likes of the Kliuka who can race so fast and unpredictably, you will see

:43:02. > :43:05.which event he is deciding to concentrate on here as you see how

:43:06. > :43:09.he progresses through the 800 metres. Watch them down the back

:43:10. > :43:13.straight, I love these guys are very cautious to move in and take the

:43:14. > :43:18.inside line and take on the pace in the first lap, this lap, very slow.

:43:19. > :43:23.Lopez in a great place and Benedetti, Amos on outside, and

:43:24. > :43:28.insiders wretched, in all green you don't see much on the circuit,

:43:29. > :43:32.resigning had a big jump for this year, the South African looking for

:43:33. > :43:37.some room, all the way to the back and we'll try to come round as is

:43:38. > :43:40.smiley of Morocco in the old red who has gone hard on the back straight.

:43:41. > :43:44.Benedetti sees the danger and Lopez disappearing quickly. Amos moving

:43:45. > :43:50.into third place. Benedetti accelerates away, smiley and second.

:43:51. > :43:54.Makhloufi moving up on the shoulder of Amos, who looks like he might be

:43:55. > :43:58.struggling a little. Top three only on the South African might be still

:43:59. > :44:03.in this but anybody could get through here. Benedetti, smiley,

:44:04. > :44:07.Makhloufi, finishing quickly, Palamo two of Japan, Benedetti looking

:44:08. > :44:12.across, Makhloufi looking most comfortable. Tight on the line for

:44:13. > :44:20.third, smiley did, Benedetti hang on? Japan very close. The one thing

:44:21. > :44:25.I can say, whoever was fourth will not go through. It was amazed he's

:44:26. > :44:28.given the quality that was in there, the only one who carried himself

:44:29. > :44:29.with any aplomb was this man, Makhloufi can the best -- first big

:44:30. > :44:45.shock. Amos, nowhere. Amos could not react and get himself

:44:46. > :44:49.out of there. He was going backwards. Tries to get himself into

:44:50. > :45:02.the right position, but could not react. Makhloufi, moved himself wide

:45:03. > :45:09.and got into the position to strike and do what he needed to do. We will

:45:10. > :45:17.see who did get there. I think it was Benedetti, just. Yes, it has

:45:18. > :45:23.come up on the big screen. That is the first big shock in the eight and

:45:24. > :45:31.metres. He was injured earlier on in the season. He is out. And as we

:45:32. > :45:40.said, Benedetti getting the third spot.

:45:41. > :45:49.Jessica Ennis-Hill out on the track. They have been warming up for the

:45:50. > :45:59.high jump. One of the strongest events. Colin Jackson has joined us

:46:00. > :46:03.in the studio. Denise, where will they feel today is a good level to

:46:04. > :46:16.be finishing the high jump competition at? It is hard to say.

:46:17. > :46:26.It is slippery underfoot. Kat will be disappointed with anything under

:46:27. > :46:29.3.90 plus. Jessica has had the experience of jumping that. Little

:46:30. > :46:36.bit inconsistent in the last couple of years in terms of her height, but

:46:37. > :46:44.she knows she needs to be up close to the 90 mark. Colin Jackson,

:46:45. > :46:55.conditions do seem to have affected the hurdles are a little bit. The

:46:56. > :47:02.air, it is not as warm as it was at the start of the day, it is a bit

:47:03. > :47:09.windy? It is very damp. It is winter here and we have got to remind

:47:10. > :47:13.ourselves. It does affect the way the athletes approach the whole

:47:14. > :47:17.competition. You are not prepared for these type of circumstances and

:47:18. > :47:23.they have to deal with it as they go along. What is good to see is both

:47:24. > :47:29.are women, not too far off their season's best which will fill them

:47:30. > :47:37.with confidence. Let's hope, that Kat can get over the 190 mark. Jess

:47:38. > :47:42.is leading the way. But it is a relative because if you are jumping

:47:43. > :47:47.within yourself on the rest of the field is, that is fine. But if you

:47:48. > :47:54.are not producing your best and they are, that is when you get in

:47:55. > :48:00.trouble. KJT has extra layers on? It is about managing yourself in the

:48:01. > :48:05.competition and she knows she will be one of the last people to come

:48:06. > :48:11.in. She has to get herself in the right head space. Keep hydrated and

:48:12. > :48:14.stay relaxed, which is crucial. Let's not forget, although the long

:48:15. > :48:18.jump got the most attention in Beijing because she had three no

:48:19. > :48:24.jumps but she was almost out on the high jump. She had a high jump to

:48:25. > :48:29.salvage her competition. It was the most remarkable thing I have ever

:48:30. > :48:33.seen in the heptathlon in. If anyone can do that, Kat can because her

:48:34. > :48:38.high jump is so incredible. She won't want to make those mistakes.

:48:39. > :48:41.She will want to make sure the run-up is smooth because when it

:48:42. > :48:48.gets to the higher Heights, that is when you need to nail the run-up.

:48:49. > :48:51.You need to be in the zone and feel the fluidity and keep going. Be the

:48:52. > :48:56.last one standing. That is what she wants to do, as Jess stamped her

:48:57. > :49:02.authority in the hurdles and said this is what I'm great at, she can

:49:03. > :49:09.stamp herself on the high jump. She can get close to two metres. It is

:49:10. > :49:14.game on for heat six of the 800 metres. Let's get back down there.

:49:15. > :49:23.Andrew Cotter is calling this one. Yes, the penultimate heat. Mark

:49:24. > :49:31.English goes for island. Brandon McBride, the very talented Canadian

:49:32. > :49:40.goes in lane two. A reminder again, three to go through automatically.

:49:41. > :49:47.He ran 1:43.95 at the anniversary games. That is an example of his

:49:48. > :50:01.calibre. Three go through automatically and the fastest

:50:02. > :50:11.losers. Clayton Murphy is still in the.

:50:12. > :50:31.Heat number six of seven of the men's 800 metres. These athletes

:50:32. > :50:36.know what times will get them in if they were the fastest loser. Mark

:50:37. > :50:43.English on the inside. Just sitting towards the back at the moment.

:50:44. > :50:48.Marcin Lewandowski in the white and red of Poland at the back as well.

:50:49. > :50:53.Taking it out at the moment is Brandon McBride. Such an elegant

:50:54. > :50:59.runner. He has decided to stay out of trouble and set the pace. He has

:51:00. > :51:03.taken it out very quick. He was disqualified in his semifinal in the

:51:04. > :51:11.Commonwealth Games for pushing two other athletes out of his way. Not a

:51:12. > :51:16.lot of love lost between those, but those three getting detached and

:51:17. > :51:23.away early. Look how far back Marcin Lewandowski is. Has left himself

:51:24. > :51:30.with a lot of work to do. Mark English at the back, although making

:51:31. > :51:35.his way through a bit. Marcin Lewandowski, will bridge the gap, I

:51:36. > :51:48.am sure of that. But he does look like he is labouring slightly.

:51:49. > :51:53.Brandon McBride, it is Abubaker Abdalla. Brandon McBride is a long

:51:54. > :51:58.way clear. Mark English is trying to get there as well. Who has something

:51:59. > :52:10.left in the final 100 metres. Brandon McBride is a long way clear.

:52:11. > :52:13.Mark English is in the mix. It will be Brandon McBride, Marcin

:52:14. > :52:21.Lewandowski and Mark English, who judged and timed it better. Fourth

:52:22. > :52:27.will not go through. Brandon McBride controlled the race. And a smile

:52:28. > :52:32.from the winner. Marcin Lewandowski did it in a different fashion, but

:52:33. > :52:39.he goes through. Brandon McBride was the most impressive. He made sure he

:52:40. > :52:43.stayed out of trouble. Marcin Lewandowski, very cool and composed.

:52:44. > :52:47.Took his time and watched what was going on and relied on his speed in

:52:48. > :52:54.his finishing. Mark English benefited from being able to follow

:52:55. > :52:59.Marcin Lewandowski through. He was right on his shoulder. Closing well

:53:00. > :53:06.down the home straight, showing the best form he has all year, Mark

:53:07. > :53:13.English to qualify. I don't think Jeffrey Riseley has done enough to

:53:14. > :53:19.qualify as a fastest loser. Looking for confirmation of that. He is

:53:20. > :53:24.outside. Brandon McBride, a long way clear and he looked very impressive.

:53:25. > :53:32.Mark English, judging it very well to come through alongside Marcin

:53:33. > :53:37.Lewandowski. Brandon McBride, out in front. Mark English able to look

:53:38. > :53:41.left and right and sees he is safe in the three automatic qualifiers.

:53:42. > :53:47.His reward is a chat with Phil Jones.

:53:48. > :53:54.I know qualifying can be so brutal in the 800 metres, you must be

:53:55. > :53:59.delighted with how you handle that? Yes, I am delighted. It would be a

:54:00. > :54:04.challenge to get through, I knew that. I had to run the race that

:54:05. > :54:11.would suit me best. A lot get caught up in the emotion of the Olympics

:54:12. > :54:15.and go out a bit hard. I had to stay contained and run my own race and

:54:16. > :54:19.I'm happy to be the semifinal. When you saw those guys go ahead of you,

:54:20. > :54:23.it must have been hard to stay to your game plan? Yes, I knew I was in

:54:24. > :54:30.shape to battle with Marcin Lewandowski. I just had to trust my

:54:31. > :54:31.own game plan. Tremendous performance, we will see you in the

:54:32. > :54:49.semis. Thanks very much. The women's Shot Put. There you go,

:54:50. > :54:58.she is also in the final. World champion last year and she threw

:54:59. > :55:06.over 20 metres. The German, in good shape. Setting up to be a belter.

:55:07. > :55:18.Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds. Adams will be hard to beat.

:55:19. > :55:24.She is definitely a contender. That is past the 18.40 automatic gong.

:55:25. > :55:33.Silver medallist in the World Championships, can she join them.

:55:34. > :55:39.Did she save it, I think she did. That is also beyond. Looks like she

:55:40. > :55:43.had a pedal to the mat although. It looks likely to go beyond 20 metres

:55:44. > :55:51.should you want to get on the rostrum. Valerie Adams is in the

:55:52. > :55:58.trio and you have what looks to be a brilliant competition. Gong, silvers

:55:59. > :56:07.and bronzes across the years. Whenever the gold medal. It is

:56:08. > :56:17.enough. -- never the gold medal. Jessica Ennis, so composed. She

:56:18. > :56:26.looks composed and calm. A safe pair of hands is Jessica Ennis.

:56:27. > :56:32.Katharina, immensely talented. Also, some fragility. She has shown that

:56:33. > :56:39.also. A pensive look on her face, what are we reading, which way is it

:56:40. > :56:44.going to go? Quite pendulum swing in favour of Jessica Ennis-Hill, maybe?

:56:45. > :56:49.The high jump is about to start. The result of the last heat, six of

:56:50. > :56:58.seven in the men's eight in good metres. Arrays controlled by Brandon

:56:59. > :57:03.McBride. They all judged it well. Jeffrey Riseley, not quite enough to

:57:04. > :57:10.see it through. We moved to the final heat. We have already seen

:57:11. > :57:15.Amos go. The news in this final heat is that Moosach Balla, who would

:57:16. > :57:24.have been a contender, does not start. That is Mohamed Salah man,

:57:25. > :57:37.coached by Mark Bolland in the US, running for Ethiopian. You might

:57:38. > :57:42.have heard mention about the coach and a group they have had problems

:57:43. > :57:53.with. Balla was part of that group and now he is not racing. That might

:57:54. > :57:58.lead the way clear for this man Bosse. Having a great season, the

:57:59. > :58:05.tall Frenchman. He will be thinking, I am sure he has an opportunity at

:58:06. > :58:15.these Olympic Games to get amongst the medals. Just to reiterate, top

:58:16. > :58:23.three to go through. We have three fastest losers at the moment. If

:58:24. > :58:38.your fourth, 1:46.65 will be good enough. Peter Bol of Australia

:58:39. > :58:46.moving across. Aman, gliding to the front. Round about 26 seconds and it

:58:47. > :58:52.looks as though, surprisingly, it might be a bit slow. With Balla

:58:53. > :58:57.going, the big names, Bosse and Aman thinking they should be OK? I think

:58:58. > :59:01.a lot of them would have relaxed when they saw that Balla wasn't

:59:02. > :59:05.coming out to start this race, but they need to keep their wits about

:59:06. > :59:11.them and progressed through these rounds. That is where Bosse has

:59:12. > :59:14.shown where his weakness is in championship races, negotiating

:59:15. > :59:20.those rounds. Very slow through the first 400 metres. Bosse is

:59:21. > :59:31.controlling it. It is Aman I would be more worried about. He is coming

:59:32. > :59:38.under attack now. And Peter Bol, moving on his shoulder. The man from

:59:39. > :59:50.Luxembourg, Charles Grethen, making his move. The Spaniard, also looking

:59:51. > :59:54.as though he has got something left. Bosse, controlling it from the

:59:55. > :00:06.front. Aman, trying to find something. The Algerian is finishing

:00:07. > :00:14.quickly. It is Aman in second place. The Spaniard left it too late. It

:00:15. > :00:21.was a fast second lap, but arrays where Bosse was allowed to control

:00:22. > :00:26.it. Looked very good and strong. He is in the shape of his life. Yes, he

:00:27. > :00:31.knows that I will have settled his nerves to be able to go out and show

:00:32. > :00:34.that you are really in charge of your first-round heat and progress

:00:35. > :00:42.through very smoothly and easily. Didn't have anything to worry about.

:00:43. > :00:45.Aman was the one gritting his teeth coming into the home straight

:00:46. > :00:49.knowingly had work to do and sensing the Algerian was coming very fast on

:00:50. > :00:54.his outside and he needed to keep pushing all the way through to

:00:55. > :00:56.guarantee getting through. No fastest losers will be coming from

:00:57. > :01:14.that heat. And the slowest in the heats. Only a

:01:15. > :01:23.most as the big-name not going through. Michael Rimmer is safely

:01:24. > :01:29.through. File in the first round of Raven Saunders, the 20-year-old

:01:30. > :01:37.American. -- foul. She got the beat down this time though and this is

:01:38. > :01:42.better. She is in the final. She is a powerful athlete. Just 20 and

:01:43. > :01:48.taking it all in, the pressure of the Olympic Games, it tests the

:01:49. > :02:03.metal. It is 18.18 metres. It also qualifies.

:02:04. > :02:09.Anita Marton. She has proved she can do it when it matters. It is just

:02:10. > :02:14.over qualifying. Quickly few qualifiers. We have not had any

:02:15. > :02:21.major casualties yet in terms of favourites not qualifying. The big

:02:22. > :02:25.four are in. Anita Marton just joins automatically. The difference

:02:26. > :02:29.between going over that line is significant. We can take your shoes

:02:30. > :02:39.off, leave the stadium and get a bite to eat. We are about 90 minutes

:02:40. > :02:45.into the Olympic athletic programme. When they all visualised Olympics in

:02:46. > :02:48.Rio, athletics with memories of the sunny mornings in London, weak

:02:49. > :02:53.spectator some of the yellow stuff in the sky. We walk up to quite

:02:54. > :02:58.heavy rain which has abated. You can see Sugarloaf mountain which is

:02:59. > :03:03.peeking out through cloud that is all around it. It is getting close

:03:04. > :03:11.to what the Scots would call a little bit dreech. We had not seen

:03:12. > :03:14.the quickest men and women out on the track yet but they will be

:03:15. > :03:21.hoping that it dries out for the preliminaries of the hundred metres.

:03:22. > :03:25.Paula Radcliffe has joined us. It is the winner of the most injured and

:03:26. > :03:31.is on the track. It is the 10,000 metres. Amongst the British

:03:32. > :03:35.athletes, a woman who at 42 years of age is about to start her fifth

:03:36. > :03:40.Olympic Games. In 2014, she stunned herself and the world as she won the

:03:41. > :03:43.European champion jets and was third in the Commonwealth Games and it

:03:44. > :03:44.made it to the podium for sports personality of the year. It is super

:03:45. > :03:56.mum Jo Pavey. The Olympics, you must be proud? It

:03:57. > :04:01.is great to be the first runner. I cannot believe it. When I was a

:04:02. > :04:05.young schoolgirl, I dreamt to going -- dreamt about going to the Olympic

:04:06. > :04:09.Games and did not team I would be sitting here talking about doing if

:04:10. > :04:15.F1 so I am honoured. I believe you will be 43 next month, what is the

:04:16. > :04:21.secret that you have got to your longevity in athletics? I do not

:04:22. > :04:25.mind the comments about my age. I do not see myself as old. You can

:04:26. > :04:29.usually experience. Year after year I have been able to learn about what

:04:30. > :04:33.track sessions are the ones that work for me and how to prepare for

:04:34. > :04:37.events. You can definitely use that knowledge. I did not think I would

:04:38. > :04:42.be here at this stage. I remember when it was announced in 2000 that

:04:43. > :04:46.London would host 2012, I remember thinking it would be a shame because

:04:47. > :04:50.I would like to compete in the home games but I think I would be

:04:51. > :04:56.retired. I did not think I will be competing in the one after that.

:04:57. > :05:00.Brilliant performance. This visit. Hor entire career has been about

:05:01. > :05:09.this moment. It is gold for Jo Pavey. 2014 was so special. I had

:05:10. > :05:13.resigned myself, it was too late for me to achieve a gold medal and it

:05:14. > :05:18.came at a time when I would not have expected it being over the age of 40

:05:19. > :05:23.and being a busy month, coming back from having a baby. That it made it

:05:24. > :05:29.more special than if I did achieve it as I was younger. I was grateful

:05:30. > :05:32.to everyone who supported me. I have taken one stage at a time and I

:05:33. > :05:37.didn't know when I would retire but I am still enjoying it so I want to

:05:38. > :05:42.keep going. Could you reach Tokyo is that ridiculous? I would not rule it

:05:43. > :05:49.out but I would be very old. I would be 47. I would be very, very old.

:05:50. > :05:53.Most people say it might be unrealistic but I will take one

:05:54. > :05:58.stage at a time. I would not completely ruled out, I suppose.

:05:59. > :06:08.I am loving it. We had Armstrong winning the road cycling at 41.

:06:09. > :06:13.Katherine Grainger yesterday. These two lady athletes retired in their

:06:14. > :06:19.30s, what is that about? You're not quite retired but you are not out

:06:20. > :06:24.there. She is incredible, Jo Pavey, she is here, not to make up numbers.

:06:25. > :06:30.Tactically she played it right the last 12 years. She eased off in 2015

:06:31. > :06:33.so she could be ready for 2016. The key thing about Jo Pavey, she is

:06:34. > :06:39.doing what she loves doing and are still able to be here. Taking it one

:06:40. > :06:43.step at a time, one year at a time. If I am good enough I will go and do

:06:44. > :06:48.it. She does not ask for special treatment. She went to the trials

:06:49. > :06:52.for the 10,000 metres and a bad chest infection was being carried.

:06:53. > :06:56.She raced and she knew she was not doing her body much good trying to

:06:57. > :07:02.push through that. It took a lot of the summer to get back. In the last

:07:03. > :07:06.minute, she gets the qualifying time at the European Championships. As I

:07:07. > :07:09.mentioned earlier on this morning, it is unprecedented. We have a medal

:07:10. > :07:15.race on the first morning of an Olympic Games. It is not going to be

:07:16. > :07:19.on its own, there are more races throughout this tournament. It is an

:07:20. > :07:24.interesting concept. We spoke to her about it, not racing in the evening

:07:25. > :07:28.and she had mixed feelings? She will analyse everything, think over

:07:29. > :07:35.things a lot. And eventually she said, I race on the road in the

:07:36. > :07:40.morning so I am fine. Just get along well, perfect conditions. Most of

:07:41. > :07:44.the athletes compete on the Diamond League circuit which runs in the

:07:45. > :07:48.evening so they are used to not this time of the day. To run a final it

:07:49. > :07:51.is weird but it is mental adjustment. The weather conditions

:07:52. > :07:56.will suit these athletes who are going to be running for the best

:07:57. > :08:02.part of 30 minutes on a little bit more out on that track. The

:08:03. > :08:06.conditions are ideal for distance running, Steve Cram. We have one of

:08:07. > :08:11.the best athletes who could claim an unprecedented third consecutive

:08:12. > :08:12.medal in Tirunesh Dibaba. She does not approach these Olympic Games in

:08:13. > :08:25.the shape she has in Andy Last two. COMMENTATOR:. Tirunesh Dibaba the

:08:26. > :08:33.first to have a go at this Truman. Shelly Ann Fraser Price. Valerie

:08:34. > :08:38.Adams. Gregory Campbell Brown. They could become the first to win the

:08:39. > :08:39.Mac consecutive gold medals in the same event. -- Veronica

:08:40. > :08:53.Campbell-Brown. She is up against her team-mate, has

:08:54. > :09:01.only won 10,000 metre race, that is the athlete who won the world 5000

:09:02. > :09:05.metres title. , Almaz Ayana. Jo Pavey is to be joined by Jess

:09:06. > :09:08.Andrews, she had a brilliant breakthrough year to make it into

:09:09. > :09:12.the British team and to make it to her first major championships at the

:09:13. > :09:16.Olympic Games which she is sharing with Jo Pavey. And Beth Potter who

:09:17. > :09:25.has followed on with good performances over the last couple of

:09:26. > :09:30.years. That was good luck from the elder stateswoman. Jo Pavey to the

:09:31. > :09:40.two younger compatriots. 25 laps of the track. The women's 10,000 metre

:09:41. > :09:43.final. It will probably come down to a battle between Ethiopia and Kenya

:09:44. > :09:53.once again. Team-mac very good hit appeal and being -- Ethiopians and

:09:54. > :10:05.team-mac very good Kenyon 's. Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot. And the new name

:10:06. > :10:19.from Kenya as well. Alice Aprot Nawowuna. Just a word about the

:10:20. > :10:23.conditions. , we were chatting to Jo Pavey, she's doing her last little

:10:24. > :10:27.tune-up before racing. She was saying she did not mind being out in

:10:28. > :10:29.the morning. We were discussing how warm it might be. This is pretty

:10:30. > :10:50.much perfect. The Norwegian has ran better than she

:10:51. > :11:01.ever has. Emily Infeld got ahead to steal the medal. I think this is got

:11:02. > :11:10.the chance of being a better race than the one in Beijing. Looking

:11:11. > :11:13.forward alongside me, to the streets, one of the greatest

:11:14. > :11:18.sporting scene, Tirunesh Dibaba. Can she win a third gold medal? Probably

:11:19. > :11:26.the best e-mail distance runner of all time. Five times world champion.

:11:27. > :11:30.Can she do it? That is the world champion from last year. Cheruiyot

:11:31. > :11:40.from Kenya, back from having a Child herself. I can very good form.

:11:41. > :11:47.Moving down the field, the athlete from result, Tatiele Roberta De

:11:48. > :11:57.Carvalho. And Alice Aprot Nawowuna, unbeaten this year. Surprisingly for

:11:58. > :12:01.all of these athletes, these are perfect conditions for distance

:12:02. > :12:07.running. The only concentration that needs to occur at is about

:12:08. > :12:12.performance. This lady, Ayana, could be the sensation. Last year's world

:12:13. > :12:17.champion at 5000 metres. Nervously waving to the crowd. She knows what

:12:18. > :12:21.she has got ahead of her. At some point, this lady needs to put

:12:22. > :12:25.herself at the front to try to run at the finish out of some of the

:12:26. > :12:31.more specialist finishers. Molly Huddle beside the United States

:12:32. > :12:35.beside her. Here we go, the 10,000 metre final for women. Jo Pavey is

:12:36. > :12:42.the first British athlete to run five Olympics on the track. Her

:12:43. > :12:50.Olympic story continues to stop for some, it is just beginning here. For

:12:51. > :12:53.Ayana, her first chance in her fledging career in the Olympic

:12:54. > :12:59.Arena, already proving herself on the World Championship stage. And

:13:00. > :13:03.also Tirunesh Dibaba. One of the greatest of all time. Attempting to

:13:04. > :13:08.do something that no woman has ever done before and when the Mac

:13:09. > :13:11.consecutive gold medals in the same event. Brickfield, one of the

:13:12. > :13:20.biggest they have ever had in the Olympic 10,000 metres. They are

:13:21. > :13:27.taking it easy in the early stages which you would expect. It is a mix

:13:28. > :13:32.of experienced athlete and some newer athletes. One of them right at

:13:33. > :13:39.the front, that is the tall figure of Alice Aprot Nawowuna. She is a

:13:40. > :13:45.committed frontrunner. It will be interesting to see whether she waits

:13:46. > :13:50.for Ayana. This young lady likes to run from the front. She is unbeaten

:13:51. > :13:53.in all races since September last year. She is new to the 10,000

:13:54. > :13:59.metres. She won the applicant championships by over one minute in

:14:00. > :14:04.Durban. She ran away from a decent field, but not as good as this

:14:05. > :14:12.field. It'll be interesting to see as ever, Kenya versus Ethiopia, that

:14:13. > :14:20.battle. The battle lines are being drawn early. It seems to me that

:14:21. > :14:24.Alice will be nervous, she has not been in this arena before. She has

:14:25. > :14:30.decided I might as well get out and start running, that is what I like

:14:31. > :14:34.doing, running at the front. That is what you are supposed to do, you go

:14:35. > :14:41.early, it is a 10,000 metre race. Tirunesh Dibaba moving up to follow

:14:42. > :14:44.her. When you come into a season unbeaten, you come to the Olympic

:14:45. > :14:48.Games where you have never been before, you wonder if I can do it

:14:49. > :14:55.early day can in other races and run at the front and run away from other

:14:56. > :14:59.athletes? There is delete the book, she has won the prize for the style

:15:00. > :15:05.today. The Ethiopian flag covered woven into our care. That is Molly

:15:06. > :15:12.Huddle chasing her and that is Jo Pavey. Congratulations to her,

:15:13. > :15:16.fantastic to see her here. She said the 2020, with a little twinkle in

:15:17. > :15:19.her eye, she might be heard again. She is an inspiration for all

:15:20. > :15:25.runners in the UK and women all around the UK who are taking part in

:15:26. > :15:28.fun runs. She text them at all times, keeping them informed, I can

:15:29. > :15:38.do it at 43 then you can. In the old days, biggest I have

:15:39. > :15:41.heaps for the 10,000 metres, the worst event of all, then the final.

:15:42. > :15:47.Fortunately they are down to just the final and we are watching Jo

:15:48. > :15:49.Pavey on an isolated camera. Jess Andrews, the British champion, won

:15:50. > :15:55.the trials and proved dramatically in the Aldershot final, to get

:15:56. > :15:59.herself here, she has done really well. It's good to see her here and

:16:00. > :16:03.also Beth Potter, the other British athlete in this field, all sticking

:16:04. > :16:07.to the task, all getting down to it now. Well, they've already got this

:16:08. > :16:12.field stretched out. She had a 72 for the previous lap, first 3000

:16:13. > :16:15.metres was three minutes and one, she is not hanging around, she

:16:16. > :16:21.really is getting out there and setting a tough pace and you can see

:16:22. > :16:25.what that has done to the pace, -- done to the field, stretched them

:16:26. > :16:29.out. That was a 69 second lap. She has attacked this very, very early

:16:30. > :16:32.and you can see in the arena the women's heptathlon high jump already

:16:33. > :16:39.under way, Jess Ennis, let's see how she goes. Patiently waiting for the

:16:40. > :16:44.10,000 metres to pass, Jess Ennis Hill, the first attempt here in the

:16:45. > :16:47.second event, the high jump, 1.74 she has chosen to coming, Katarina

:16:48. > :16:55.Johnson-Thompson is coming in at 1.80, we hear. Oh, yes, good start

:16:56. > :17:03.for Jessica Ennis, perfect clearance. The battle of the height

:17:04. > :17:09.has commenced. Two Brits, what is proving to be one of the great

:17:10. > :17:12.magician showdowns, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Katarina

:17:13. > :17:18.Johnson-Thompson, a perfect start in the high jump for Jessica -- the

:17:19. > :17:21.great British showdowns. The good news from the early stages of the

:17:22. > :17:25.heptathlon high jump, the early stages of this 10,000 metres, she is

:17:26. > :17:32.already ripping the heart out of this, Ayana has gone with Boro

:17:33. > :17:44.winger -- Nawowuna. Tirunesh Dibaba is in the second group with chariot.

:17:45. > :17:55.-- Cheruiyot. A big gap back to the rest of the field.

:17:56. > :18:01.We have news of a British gold from the regatta. Helen Glover and

:18:02. > :18:04.Heather Stanning have defended their pairs gold, they weren't so

:18:05. > :18:10.magnificently in London, holding off the challenge from the New Zealand

:18:11. > :18:14.boat, winning eventually by just over a second. Their first heat,

:18:15. > :18:17.they got off to a shocking start because they looked all right until

:18:18. > :18:22.they got to the line that they would be taken over by the Danes and they

:18:23. > :18:25.haven't been beaten for over two years, so that incredible record

:18:26. > :18:30.goes on. They've come through this regatta, which has had its pumps,

:18:31. > :18:35.hasn't it along the way, a couple of days of the rowing had been

:18:36. > :18:41.cancelled due to the weather. Finally got there, a brilliant gold

:18:42. > :18:46.medal for Helen Glover and Heather Stanning.

:18:47. > :18:49.Steve Cram: Very good news for Great Britain and

:18:50. > :18:54.hoping obviously things continue well here, the 10,000 metres, Jo

:18:55. > :18:58.Pavey in that big group with the other British athletes, mildly

:18:59. > :19:01.gullible, the American on the back of that group with the three

:19:02. > :19:09.Ethiopians, the three Kenyans and the former Kenyan running for

:19:10. > :19:17.Turkey, Yasemin Can -- Molly Huddle. Molly Huddle, the American record

:19:18. > :19:21.holder disappointingly missed out last year and her team-mate Infeld

:19:22. > :19:24.dipped inside and sneaks the bronze medal away from her and she said she

:19:25. > :19:27.may never get the chance again because she knew that field on that

:19:28. > :19:30.occasion wasn't particularly good. It's much better here today,

:19:31. > :19:34.Brendan, but I'm not sure they would have expected this early pace early

:19:35. > :19:44.on, but this is how she likes to run.

:19:45. > :19:52.Another fast lap in their women's 10,000 metres, 70 seconds, they are

:19:53. > :19:56.running under 30 minute pace, and this is being stretched, being

:19:57. > :19:59.applied all the time. The athletes who we thought would be in

:20:00. > :20:02.contention actually are in contention and Molly Huddle is

:20:03. > :20:06.running a terrific race as we look at this athlete, she has had a real

:20:07. > :20:13.problem there. The Uzbekistan athlete. She took a tumble, a heavy

:20:14. > :20:17.tumble, she looked as though she's not sure whether she can join in

:20:18. > :20:23.again. She is walking off the track I can see at the top of the home

:20:24. > :20:27.straight, Ekaterina Tunguskova. She has run like this before, but not

:20:28. > :20:31.this fast. Ayana will love this, playing into her hands, doing the

:20:32. > :20:35.job for her. She's happy about this because she knew she would have to

:20:36. > :20:39.get in the front at some time, Ayana, she knew she would have to

:20:40. > :20:42.run finish out of Tirunesh Dibaba and out of Cheruiyot and out of

:20:43. > :20:48.Burka, but now she has the other Kenyan athlete providing the

:20:49. > :20:54.platform for the strong one, that's Ayana, and now the champion coming

:20:55. > :20:59.under pressure in this early stage, 18 laps to go, they know they are in

:21:00. > :21:02.a race and the athletes are going to be spread out by the way this is

:21:03. > :21:05.going. They will be spread out right round the track which is going to

:21:06. > :21:07.give problems to the high jumpers, who are having to cut across the

:21:08. > :21:12.small intervals between the distance runners. That's not going to be a

:21:13. > :21:15.pleasant task for the athletes who have to judge at which point to take

:21:16. > :21:22.their high jump. But this field is being ripped apart by this new,, now

:21:23. > :21:26.at of Kenya. You know they come from Kenya and they run as well as she

:21:27. > :21:34.has done, first in the Kenyan 10,000 metres, unbeaten over this year, you

:21:35. > :21:41.just wonder, can you come here, 2.56 for that 1000 metres, another

:21:42. > :21:44.fantastic run, a terrific performance. I'm surprised how many

:21:45. > :21:56.athletes are able to go with this place, Steve. We have seen Jessica

:21:57. > :22:00.Ennis-Hill go clear, this is the second event of the heptathlon, the

:22:01. > :22:06.world leader, Brianne Theisen-Eaton, runner up to Jessica Ennis-Hill last

:22:07. > :22:13.year. She comes in as the world leader after her exploits early this

:22:14. > :22:18.summer. She looks as though, it is busy, isn't it, well, there is the

:22:19. > :22:25.main man Ashton Eaton, the world-record holder the decathlon.

:22:26. > :22:30.Offering support and advice for sure, so the Senate and looking to

:22:31. > :22:34.match the height of Jessica Ennis-Hill, 1.74, a slight skip but

:22:35. > :22:45.it's a good clearance -- Brianne Theisen-Eaton. Is. Is she chewing

:22:46. > :22:53.bubble gum? Quite unusual. 1.74, the Canadian has gone clear.

:22:54. > :22:59.I'm impressed with Molly Huddle here. This group are 120 metres

:23:00. > :23:03.ahead of the rest of the field in the Olympic final. The pace has been

:23:04. > :23:09.incredible, well under 30 minute pace. As Brendan was saying, they

:23:10. > :23:12.went 2.54 and 2.57 for the previous intervals and Molly Huddle looks as

:23:13. > :23:17.though she is coming off a bit but what a brave effort, operating way

:23:18. > :23:20.faster than she has ever done before. They are all running faster

:23:21. > :23:25.than they have never run before, Steve. This is amazing. I have the

:23:26. > :23:31.statistic from Mark Butler, our statistician. The world record,

:23:32. > :23:37.29.31, which is an unapproachable world record, set by a Chinese

:23:38. > :23:41.woman. They went through 8.52 at three K, faster than world-record

:23:42. > :23:44.pace, which is staggering. She will struggle in the later stages, Molly

:23:45. > :23:48.Huddle, but I can't believe how many women are running at that pace so

:23:49. > :23:52.the second half of this race is going to be amazing, because there

:23:53. > :23:56.are far too many of them running at that phenomenal pace and you would

:23:57. > :24:00.question the tactics of the leader now, because she can't, surely, keep

:24:01. > :24:05.going at this kind of pace. She can't run a new world record in the

:24:06. > :24:10.10,000 metres, or off well, I don't believe she can, but I tell you

:24:11. > :24:14.what, seven of them can't. You are absolutely right. It's interesting

:24:15. > :24:18.that Ayana looks comfortable, the others have gone with it. I wonder

:24:19. > :24:22.if Tirunesh Dibaba might think I wonder if I should back off a little

:24:23. > :24:26.bit but Ayana is up there with it, you have to go with it. They

:24:27. > :24:30.obviously are respecting the performance here of the Kenyan and

:24:31. > :24:35.it's just dropping off a little, Molly Huddle has started to feel

:24:36. > :24:42.this. She is so far ahead though of the rest of the field, actually 150

:24:43. > :24:47.metres now ahead of the next group. This is going to be like a marathon,

:24:48. > :24:50.isn't it? We always talk about what happens in the last four or five

:24:51. > :24:55.laps. There could be really good athletes who fall apart at the end.

:24:56. > :24:58.There are really good athlete in the leading group but some of them will

:24:59. > :25:01.have to fall apart because you can't have seven people running so much

:25:02. > :25:04.faster than they have ever run before, all in the same race. When

:25:05. > :25:07.they arrived here this morning I honestly don't believe that these

:25:08. > :25:11.athletes coming to these Olympic Games thinking I'm going to run a

:25:12. > :25:15.really fast one, because we are in Rio, we all thought it was going to

:25:16. > :25:18.be warm, it has been warm for the last couple of days, we are running

:25:19. > :25:21.in the morning and that is not conducive necessarily to distance

:25:22. > :25:27.running, as we look at Tirunesh Dibaba she is running faster than

:25:28. > :25:29.she has ever run before, she is already double Olympic champion at

:25:30. > :25:35.this event and she's been dragged along and being pulled along at a

:25:36. > :25:40.pace we've never seen before. In the lead it Alice Aprot Nawowuna leading

:25:41. > :25:46.and leading with all of her heart at the moment, and a 70 second lap and

:25:47. > :25:51.I remember somebody in Sydney doing this, leading at a hard pace and

:25:52. > :25:55.other athletes ran personal bests, though she didn't hang on to win a

:25:56. > :25:59.medal, that was Paula Radcliffe. Paula, you must be admiring what she

:26:00. > :26:02.is doing? She is certainly setting everything out there today and she

:26:03. > :26:06.will probably be surprised at the number of girls who have gone with

:26:07. > :26:10.her. The biggest surprise was Molly Huddle, who now unfortunately is

:26:11. > :26:14.detached and is going to be running the rest of this race on her own.

:26:15. > :26:18.Having said that, she is almost 200 metres ahead of the group chasing

:26:19. > :26:21.behind, so she's running extremely well. She will know how fast she has

:26:22. > :26:28.gone, that she has got a personal best in her legs today and in that

:26:29. > :26:32.race today. Alice is really laying it out, as you said, Ayana will just

:26:33. > :26:36.be rubbing her hands that this because it's doing all of the work

:26:37. > :26:40.for her. We saw what she did last year in Beijing and what she is

:26:41. > :26:44.capable of doing, and the cracks are starting to open already. Tirunesh

:26:45. > :26:47.Dibaba having to move up. I think she is working very, very hard to

:26:48. > :26:53.stay with this and Burka has dropped off now. Yes, the world

:26:54. > :26:57.silver-medallist, Burka, as Molly Huddle found it too hot, too fast,

:26:58. > :27:02.too quick, and has already dropped off that lead group and I think

:27:03. > :27:06.Betsy Saina will be the next to do that. Tirunesh Dibaba, Vivian

:27:07. > :27:12.Chariot, great athletes being tested here and although the pace has

:27:13. > :27:16.slowed a bit that was another 70 .6, this is an incredible piece of front

:27:17. > :27:21.running. Alice Aprot Nawowuna is trying to lap athletes already, not

:27:22. > :27:25.even halfway and we are lapping athletes because of its crazy, fast

:27:26. > :27:33.pace here. Ayana in second place. Another 2.57, 14.46 through 5000

:27:34. > :27:36.metres. As the fastest 5000 metres that has ever been running a

:27:37. > :27:40.10,000-metre race, faster than the world record which is amazing when

:27:41. > :27:43.you think about that world record, almost half a minute faster than

:27:44. > :27:47.anyone has run before. Moving into the second half of the race and the

:27:48. > :27:53.only thing you can say for certain if there are going to be dramatic

:27:54. > :27:57.changes. We watch Nawowuna leading, behind her, Ayana, a world champion

:27:58. > :28:01.at 5000 metres, behind her Can of Turkey, the European champion,

:28:02. > :28:05.behind her Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot, behind her the greatest

:28:06. > :28:08.of all time, double Olympic champion they'd do if you look at this young

:28:09. > :28:14.athlete what she's doing to these phenomena is of distance running,

:28:15. > :28:20.Ayana amazingly those past her and now starts to run her race, as

:28:21. > :28:24.Nawowuna is seriously beginning to struggle as she has gone through

:28:25. > :28:28.there. Now Ayana, the tactics or her were to run fast for the second half

:28:29. > :28:31.of the race. I don't think anybody would have believed that she's been

:28:32. > :28:36.asked to run faster in the second half of the race but the first half

:28:37. > :28:41.of the race was 14.48, a staggering time in its own right and Vivian

:28:42. > :28:44.Chariot gives wreck -- gives chase, then Tirunesh Dibaba gives chase but

:28:45. > :28:49.this field is completely obliterated and it's going to get confusing

:28:50. > :28:52.because they are lapping athletes so clearly, the whole track now is

:28:53. > :28:58.cluttered with athletes all the way around. Jo Pavey went through the

:28:59. > :29:02.first 5000 metres 15.40 and if you said you would be in danger of being

:29:03. > :29:07.lapped going at that pace I think she would have looked at you and

:29:08. > :29:11.said really? That's what's going to happen, I've never seen anything

:29:12. > :29:17.like this. This is incredible. Going out of world record pace and Ayana

:29:18. > :29:23.picks it up. She has run 66 for that lap, 72 seconds this 30 minute pace,

:29:24. > :29:27.she has run 66. Why? Crazy fast pace. Why throw a 66 in at that

:29:28. > :29:32.point in the race? She doesn't need to do that. It's not common sense

:29:33. > :29:38.but it is in common sets distance running, you run so fast. 15 seconds

:29:39. > :29:41.faster than world-record pace at the halfway point. I've never seen a

:29:42. > :29:45.distance race like this before but I tell you something, these athletes

:29:46. > :29:49.are just rewriting the record books, but however, the old adage of

:29:50. > :29:55.distance running, in the last few laps and the last few stages in the

:29:56. > :29:58.last mile, things do change. That's right Tirunesh Dibaba won't give

:29:59. > :30:06.this up. She must be wondering what on earth, the Ethiopian trials that

:30:07. > :30:11.were held nine Ethiopian women ran, the top three got picked, nine man

:30:12. > :30:15.under 31 minutes, it shows used the strength. Ayana ran away from

:30:16. > :30:18.everyone there. In Beijing if you remember the great race with

:30:19. > :30:22.Tirunesh Dibaba, that was all about the fast last half of the race. This

:30:23. > :30:28.is so different. I think you are right, you have to find a leader in

:30:29. > :30:31.the most all of this here. Athletes, very, very good athletes,

:30:32. > :30:35.world-class athletes, being lapped. We haven't even got six K, well

:30:36. > :30:44.actually we have six K now, it's absolutely incredible.

:30:45. > :30:50.This Jo Pavey and Jess Andrews will be confused. We are seeing a

:30:51. > :30:54.distance least like we have never seen before. We are seeing a

:30:55. > :30:59.performance we have not seen the light of. Athletes running times

:31:00. > :31:04.they had never done before and being tested, being drawn along by a

:31:05. > :31:09.novice in Nawowuna. You know who has not given this up? It is the world

:31:10. > :31:18.champion, Cheruiyot. She is in second place. Macro one -- Ayana has

:31:19. > :31:21.been phenomenal. Cheruiyot has the expedience and World Championship

:31:22. > :31:24.gold medals but does not have an Olympic medal. Ayana could be

:31:25. > :31:29.running to the plan but the plan could not be to check on when the

:31:30. > :31:34.race is so quick. The race is still on but Cheruiyot is a long way back

:31:35. > :31:40.but still second. Nawowuna is a long way back and inferred. And Tirunesh

:31:41. > :31:52.Dibaba is running in the second lane and is lapping athletes. 2.15

:31:53. > :31:58.minutes for that section. It was a race that did speed up early on.

:31:59. > :32:04.They have gone through 34 seconds faster, and admittedly any different

:32:05. > :32:11.type of race, just to let you know what we are watching. This is

:32:12. > :32:17.unprecedented. Unprecedented. We have two women, Ayana and Cheruiyot,

:32:18. > :32:24.in the Olympic final, running the crazy fast. Your old coach Jimmy

:32:25. > :32:30.Hedley and my old coach... They would want to measure the track, how

:32:31. > :32:33.long is that, 400 metres all around? This is where we find out how good

:32:34. > :32:39.they are. They weren't phased into going out like that and they were

:32:40. > :32:44.enticed by Alice Nawowuna and she continues to love people in third

:32:45. > :32:47.spot. She settled for this piece and they were enticed into it. Tirunesh

:32:48. > :32:54.Dibaba is a long way back in fourth place. I will take your invitation

:32:55. > :32:59.and go quicker than that. Is she good enough to keep going at this

:33:00. > :33:09.pace? She is looking tired, for me, for the first time. I look at my

:33:10. > :33:13.computer and it was a 67 second lap. The reigning world champion has not

:33:14. > :33:19.given up beaches. She has got clear distance into third place from her

:33:20. > :33:25.team-mate, Nawowuna. And also the great one, Tirunesh Dibaba, she has

:33:26. > :33:29.not up the chase, in fourth place and seeking another medal at these

:33:30. > :33:34.Olympic Games. She already has five Olympic medals and once the sixth.

:33:35. > :33:41.It might not be gold or silver today but it might be something. As they

:33:42. > :33:45.come down the home straight, Ayana from Ethiopia, the world champion

:33:46. > :33:51.and 5000 metres. She notices there is seven laps to go. Raqqa two, the

:33:52. > :33:57.Olympic champion -- the world champion. The defending Olympic

:33:58. > :34:01.champion in fourth place, Tirunesh Dibaba. She will tell you she has

:34:02. > :34:08.never been in a race like this before. She has got Nawowuna in her

:34:09. > :34:14.sights. The British athletes are running well. It is getting

:34:15. > :34:21.confusing. We are trying to seek out 1-4 but it is difficult behind that.

:34:22. > :34:25.This is a phenomenal distance race as we look at the greatest female

:34:26. > :34:29.distance runner of all time, she has never been dropped on like this any

:34:30. > :34:34.10,000 metre race and she is twice the champion. You can see what she

:34:35. > :34:37.is doing and she is not giving up. She looks down the track and she

:34:38. > :34:43.sees them disappearing into the distance. Down the home straight

:34:44. > :34:48.comes the leader. Almaz Ayana of Ethiopia. She looks as if she is

:34:49. > :34:52.struggling a little bit now. Cheruiyot in second place is

:34:53. > :34:59.sticking to her task. Six laps to go in a phenomenal distance race. Six

:35:00. > :35:04.laps to go now for Nawowuna. And just behind her, here comes the

:35:05. > :35:09.champion. Champions do not give up in races. This might be the fastest

:35:10. > :35:17.this girl has ever run. This is a phenomenal run but she wants a

:35:18. > :35:24.medal. Can it be bronze or better? Our computer is struggling to keep

:35:25. > :35:31.up with Ayana as well. She has gone through 7000 metres in 20.2 nine. --

:35:32. > :35:43.20 .29 meet. She is going to win the Gold Medal

:35:44. > :35:48.because everyone is slowing down. It is confusing to work out who is way.

:35:49. > :35:55.Somebody has asked what position Jo Pavey is? I am not sure. There are

:35:56. > :36:02.so many athletes being lapped. With 2000 metres to go, she is looking

:36:03. > :36:08.tired, Ayana. It is an incredible piece of frontrunning. She goes

:36:09. > :36:17.through, five laps to go. Another kilometre, 2.55 minutes. She is

:36:18. > :36:21.running at sub 30 pace. Only five women have ever run under 30

:36:22. > :36:26.minutes. If she keeps going, she looks as if she will do. I do not

:36:27. > :36:30.know if she will do the world record but it will be special. She is half

:36:31. > :36:37.a minute ahead of the world record which is the most phenomenal world

:36:38. > :36:41.record in the books. I would get the measurements out to see if the track

:36:42. > :36:47.is right. This is a phenomenal distance race. She is 30 seconds

:36:48. > :36:51.faster and will be closer to 29 minutes for 10,000 metres. Only five

:36:52. > :36:55.women have ran under 30 minutes for 10,000 metres. Here she comes to the

:36:56. > :37:01.finishing straight. When she sees the score with five laps to go, that

:37:02. > :37:06.is the sort of distance that these athletes do in training, it will

:37:07. > :37:11.give for energy. The practice that running repetitions. She is on the

:37:12. > :37:15.finishing straight and is clearly tired, and probably distressed. It

:37:16. > :37:20.is a mental battle and can she stick to the task? Four laps to go for

:37:21. > :37:25.Ayana, world champion last year with the phenomenal performance. This is

:37:26. > :37:29.staggering. This is the battle for third place. Second place is

:37:30. > :37:37.Cheruiyot. Tirunesh Dibaba has moved into third place. Nawowuna, after

:37:38. > :37:43.those first 7-9 laps, when she went very hard, she has been moved past

:37:44. > :37:47.by Tirunesh Dibaba and she could get something from this. This is history

:37:48. > :37:52.in the making. This is somebody doing something that nothing had

:37:53. > :37:55.ever seen. Even if she slows down as Brendan was making the point, she

:37:56. > :38:08.still has this incredible world record in her sights that goes all

:38:09. > :38:14.the way back to 1993. 29.31 minutes. Vivian Cheruiyot is trying to hold

:38:15. > :38:24.on. She is running under minutes herself as well. Three laps to go.

:38:25. > :38:29.Ayana will obviously when the Gold Medal but how quick sending she go?

:38:30. > :38:33.Cheruiyot is in second place, a long way ahead of the battle for third

:38:34. > :38:40.place. About 70 metres ahead of Tirunesh Dibaba. The other Kenyan,

:38:41. > :38:47.Nawowuna, has rallied and moved ahead of Tirunesh Dibaba again. She

:38:48. > :38:52.does want to win a medal of any sort. She wants to add to tally of

:38:53. > :38:57.five Olympic medals, three gold medals and two bronze medals. She

:38:58. > :39:00.wants to get another one. The Sian Harkin from Kenya, setting the pace

:39:01. > :39:07.industries, has destroyed it from the point of view being tactical

:39:08. > :39:11.race. We are seeing some performances here, we're seeing lap

:39:12. > :39:17.times and split times we have never seen before and never believed we

:39:18. > :39:21.would see. To lift the pace after a world record opening 5000 metres,

:39:22. > :39:30.coming down the finishing straight now, lapping athletes on the inside

:39:31. > :39:37.and outside is Ayana. She is 22 seconds ahead. In the last race,

:39:38. > :39:51.they speed up... She has through in 26 point 58 minutes. She can run 75

:39:52. > :39:55.seconds. We're watching a world record in the making here. We are

:39:56. > :40:00.watching a world record in the making. We are watching Nawowuna who

:40:01. > :40:06.made it possible for fierce burst 5000 metres. And we're looking at

:40:07. > :40:09.the athlete butt end are trying get into the bronze medal position. We

:40:10. > :40:14.are looking at distance running that we have never seen before. This is

:40:15. > :40:19.phenomenal and brittle. It is a test of stamina and inducements. It is

:40:20. > :40:23.now a real test of mental power. Has this young lady got the power to

:40:24. > :40:27.keep going? She has to keep going. You cannot do all this work and let

:40:28. > :40:33.it fade away. She has to come down this finishing straight with one lap

:40:34. > :40:38.to go. She is clearly tired and probably exhausted. Mentally, she is

:40:39. > :40:44.sticking to the task. She will see the welcome sign and the welcome

:40:45. > :40:47.sign says one lap to go. Ayana from Ethiopia, the world 5,000-metre

:40:48. > :40:52.champion is on her way to become the Olympic champion and world record

:40:53. > :41:01.order for 10,000 metres. She has one lap to go. URI could not run that

:41:02. > :41:05.fast one lap. This young lady used to be a steeplechaser. She decided

:41:06. > :41:09.she was not doing well in that event. Herself and her husband sat

:41:10. > :41:13.down and keep up with a plan to change her event and the way that

:41:14. > :41:17.she trained, to change the way that she raced. She pushed onto the scene

:41:18. > :41:23.in the last couple of years, particularly in 2015 and at the

:41:24. > :41:27.heart out of the big names. She shows how she can run from the

:41:28. > :41:31.front. She can go quicker than anybody before. Never did we think

:41:32. > :41:36.she could do this. Only just moved up to the 10,000 metres this year.

:41:37. > :41:41.She has came to the Olympic Games and has reiterated the field. She

:41:42. > :41:46.has grasped the Gold Medal. She has completely and utterly torn up the

:41:47. > :41:50.record books. This is incredible, Ayana is going to smash the world

:41:51. > :41:53.record and become the Olympic champion. One of the greatest pieces

:41:54. > :42:05.of distance running you have ever seen. 29.17.46 minutes. It is a new

:42:06. > :42:10.world record. It is an Olympic gold for Ayana of Ethiopia. Cheruiyot, a

:42:11. > :42:15.brief run and almost inside the old world record. She is just inside it.

:42:16. > :42:19.She is the third fastest athlete of all time to take the Silver Medal

:42:20. > :42:24.for Kenya. And the great Tirunesh Dibaba will run her personal best to

:42:25. > :42:29.come third after all the great things she has done. She has run a

:42:30. > :42:33.personal best to only get the bronze medal. And then we will have the

:42:34. > :42:38.fourth athlete across the line in under 30 minutes, she set it all

:42:39. > :42:48.off, Alice Neville, of Kenya. What can you say? -- Nawowuna. What can

:42:49. > :42:52.you say about Ayana, somebody when the pace was already fast and that

:42:53. > :42:57.world-record pace, she picked it up and ripped this field apart. I have

:42:58. > :43:02.never seen anything like that. This is Jo Pavey and Jess Andrews in the

:43:03. > :43:08.own little battle. Beth Potter just behind these two as they get into

:43:09. > :43:10.the last lap. Ayana almost lap Kavita Booker who was the world

:43:11. > :43:24.Silver medals last year finished about sex. -- about six. Jo Pavey

:43:25. > :43:28.what a marvellous performance on her lap lap. Down the back straight.

:43:29. > :43:33.Putting in a sprint finish and trying to get away. Getting away

:43:34. > :43:39.from the two of British athletes. Beth Potter behind her. She is

:43:40. > :43:51.kicking in. She has run a very good race. She will be 31 .30. We have

:43:52. > :43:55.been in a race, they like we have never seen before. Jo Pavey is an

:43:56. > :43:59.inspiration, the first of the British athletes, that is important

:44:00. > :44:03.for her. Coming down the finishing straight for the fifth time for her

:44:04. > :44:09.in the Olympic Games. She says she's not even going to give up by the

:44:10. > :44:16.time it comes to Tokyo. She -- you might see me again in four years'

:44:17. > :44:20.time. Well done Jess Andrews. She is shaking her head, hot on earth is

:44:21. > :44:27.going on? We have seen a little bit of history. Jo Pavey with a little

:44:28. > :44:34.bit of history, five times... If we can look again at what we can call a

:44:35. > :44:41.piece of history. He medal winner stick together. The unit Dibaba,

:44:42. > :44:44.Ayana the new Olympic champion and world record-holder, takes the title

:44:45. > :44:51.from Tirunesh Dibaba, the greatest of time. I wonder how long that will

:44:52. > :44:58.last as a title. She has got a formidable team it. Two happy

:44:59. > :45:03.athletes. To add to all of the great things, Molly Huddle has smashed the

:45:04. > :45:12.American record, the nation in six place in 30.13 minutes. If you said

:45:13. > :45:16.six was 30.30 minutes, she would take that. Unbelievable

:45:17. > :45:19.performances. Let us look at this. All of the great running she has

:45:20. > :45:25.done before and she finished it off with the 68 last lap.

:45:26. > :45:33.Into the finishing straight, Ayana of Ethiopian, got to the halfway

:45:34. > :45:36.point in world-record pace and then lifted the pace, started to

:45:37. > :45:44.accelerate down the back straight. We've been given a statistic from

:45:45. > :45:48.Marc Bartra just now. He went to London to the Emil Zatopek win the

:45:49. > :45:54.Olympic Games in 1948. Who would have ever believed that you are

:45:55. > :45:59.watching a lady running 29.17, fasting than the great and also

:46:00. > :46:03.protect ran all those years ago? -- faster. You have never seen anything

:46:04. > :46:07.like this before, this is a piste of history that needs to be preserved

:46:08. > :46:10.and explained and needs to be considered, where this ranks among

:46:11. > :46:16.all-time performances. There is only one athletes run within 20 seconds

:46:17. > :46:20.of this and that was the Chinese, but here she comes, down the

:46:21. > :46:25.finishing straight, world champion, on her way to be Olympic champion

:46:26. > :46:31.and a world-record bonus for her, a world-record performance, another

:46:32. > :46:35.gold medal for Ethiopian in the 10,000 metres and a fantastic run in

:46:36. > :46:40.second place by Vivian Cheruiyot and a wonderful run in third place by

:46:41. > :46:45.Tirunesh Dibaba. Look at this athlete now relaxing. She has been

:46:46. > :46:49.in an area where no female athlete has ever been before. No athlete has

:46:50. > :46:55.ever challenged that sort of time before. She looks at this point

:46:56. > :47:00.relaxed, comfortable and in control, that is a piece of distance running

:47:01. > :47:04.that you want to restore your faith in distance running, just have a

:47:05. > :47:12.look at that again. That was from normal. -- phenomenal. You said that

:47:13. > :47:16.would take some explaining and I would be interested, because I'm not

:47:17. > :47:23.sure myself what to make of that. When you see things, Bob Beamon in

:47:24. > :47:28.the long jump in 1968, people do take things on, but this is just

:47:29. > :47:34.taking 10,000-metre running to a level that it's difficult to explain

:47:35. > :47:40.and lots of people behind running big personal bests as well, I think

:47:41. > :47:46.one Umar Farooq athlete stops a lap or two -- one or two athletes stops

:47:47. > :47:51.an lap early as well, we have personal bests for Molly Huddle,

:47:52. > :47:57.Grovdal, lots of people running national records etc. It might be a

:47:58. > :48:01.short track, you never know! Seriously, Ayana, brilliant. I

:48:02. > :48:05.wonder what Jo Pavey made of all that, she had a grandstand seat of

:48:06. > :48:11.course, finished top of the British athletes, she is with us.

:48:12. > :48:15.Congratulations on creating history, a fifth Olympic Games for you as an

:48:16. > :48:18.athlete and to be part of an historic race like that must be

:48:19. > :48:23.incredible? It's incredible. I'm so honoured to running of this Olympic

:48:24. > :48:26.Games. I felt like it was such a special opportunity. I found it

:48:27. > :48:30.quite tough out there. Realistically I'm getting very, very old, so I

:48:31. > :48:37.would like to run a bit quicker but I try my best on the day and I feel

:48:38. > :48:40.really honoured. Thanks to everyone who has helped me, gas, Emily Jacob,

:48:41. > :48:44.my mum and dad, my brothers, everyone who has supported me over

:48:45. > :48:49.the years. I feel absolutely honoured to begin hearing in the

:48:50. > :48:54.Olympic Stadium again, we tried our best and we enjoyed being team-mates

:48:55. > :49:02.together. The family watching you back at home? Yes, hello, high! I

:49:03. > :49:06.really miss them but I really enjoyed it out there. I found it

:49:07. > :49:09.tough. It was fairly humid and I would like to have been more

:49:10. > :49:13.combative than what I was. My training had gone well. I gave it my

:49:14. > :49:19.best on the day. That's all you can do. I just felt so honoured to be

:49:20. > :49:22.out there, I feel so fortunate, I never thought when I was a young

:49:23. > :49:32.schoolgirl dreaming of going to be Olympic that I would be here having

:49:33. > :49:36.done five of them. I'm very lucky. How confusing race was it to keep

:49:37. > :49:39.track of where you were in the midst of things with the world-record

:49:40. > :49:43.going on ahead of you? It was confusing. You had to know how many

:49:44. > :49:47.laps you had left. How many laps to go, five laps or two laps, that's

:49:48. > :49:52.what you had to do. There were 37 starters. You didn't know who was in

:49:53. > :49:57.the lap ahead and who wasn't. A race at that pace is unbelievable. I just

:49:58. > :50:02.enjoyed it out there. It's an Olympic Games, it's special. I did

:50:03. > :50:04.what I could on the day, really. Congratulations on a tremendous

:50:05. > :50:09.historic performance from you never know, we might see you in Tokyo. All

:50:10. > :50:13.the best, Joe. I'll keep trying, cheers for all the support, thanks.

:50:14. > :50:18.Steve Cram: Well done, Jo Pavey finished in 15th

:50:19. > :50:24.place with the seasons best, Jess Andrews with a personal best of

:50:25. > :50:30.31.35 behind her in 16th and Beth a little further back. Well, I'm just

:50:31. > :50:34.going to give you another statistic. Ayana did break the world record. We

:50:35. > :50:40.thought it was fast at halfway, she then ran 14.30 or thereabouts for

:50:41. > :50:43.the second 5000, which if she had just started that in the Olympic

:50:44. > :50:47.Games, it would have been an Olympic record for the 5000 metres and not

:50:48. > :50:50.many of the world's 5000 metres runners have ever run that pace.

:50:51. > :51:09.Unbelievable stuff from Ayana. In the midst of that historic race,

:51:10. > :51:15.the bar was raised in the high jump, the second event of the heptathlon.

:51:16. > :51:18.Jessica Ennis-Hill via, you can see, clearance of 1.74, the new height

:51:19. > :51:24.1.77, three centimetres the incremental heights. In the

:51:25. > :51:28.heptathlon. In the first attempt, it was a good one, with daylight,

:51:29. > :51:35.really good rhythm, really good balance, posture, not a lot wrong

:51:36. > :51:40.with that. Jess Ennis Hill looks as though she is backed to her best in

:51:41. > :51:45.the high jump, 1.95 many years back. It's been a long time since she has

:51:46. > :51:49.been to those dizzy heights, but the next height, 1.80, we will see

:51:50. > :51:53.Katarina Johnson-Thompson enter the competition. Someone who is already

:51:54. > :51:58.in a has matched Jessica Ennis step-by-step with Brianne

:51:59. > :52:02.Theisen-Eaton, the Canadian. A little close on that but it was a

:52:03. > :52:10.good job. Also a comfortable clearance. -- a good jump. So no

:52:11. > :52:12.damage done yet in the high jump between the main contenders and

:52:13. > :52:22.Katarina Johnson-Thompson yet to start. Theisen-Eaton, a perfect

:52:23. > :52:24.sheet so far. GABBY LOGAN:

:52:25. > :52:30.I'm not quite sure where to start, the first morning of this athletics

:52:31. > :52:34.meet and we said an unprecedented medal race, the 10,000 metres normal

:52:35. > :52:38.in the evening and it seems to produce quite good results, having

:52:39. > :52:59.the race in the morning! Explain what you just saw for us? Put it in

:53:00. > :53:03.those kind of context? I'm really not sure I can. I remember 23 years

:53:04. > :53:06.ago now walking into a bar on holiday and watching the Chinese

:53:07. > :53:10.athlete setting the world record and thinking I had had too much to

:53:11. > :53:15.drink! To see that today. An Olympic record for the second five K. We

:53:16. > :53:18.took a sharp intake of breath, this was a world-record pace race, an

:53:19. > :53:22.incredible race, here is the moment where Ayana decided it wasn't quite

:53:23. > :53:27.quick enough for what she had in mind. It was an incredible turn of

:53:28. > :53:30.pace, what we're seeing here. We are in a competitive race already, we

:53:31. > :53:35.know that, there's a nice group of people, then all of a sudden, bang,

:53:36. > :53:38.and just kept going. There was no sense of I'm going to relax here, it

:53:39. > :53:42.just seems like this really isn't going fast enough for me so I had

:53:43. > :53:47.better push on here. What were you thinking when you saw that?

:53:48. > :53:53.PAULA RADCLIFFE: It totally destroyed Vivian

:53:54. > :53:57.Cheruiyot and Nawowuna, because until that point she was leading

:53:58. > :54:01.that out at a very fast pace. It would have challenged the standing

:54:02. > :54:05.Olympic record as it was. Then she was blown backwards by that. How you

:54:06. > :54:09.mentally recover from that and come back into a battle with Tirunesh

:54:10. > :54:14.Dibaba for the bronze medal, it was game over for her at that point. She

:54:15. > :54:19.tried to get back into it but Dibaba kept her composure and managed to

:54:20. > :54:29.real Herrerin. Vivian Cheruiyot running 27... Inside the... Will we

:54:30. > :54:38.are expecting a kind of run from Vivian Cheruiyot? Vivian would have

:54:39. > :54:42.expected it to go fast, knowing what Ayana was capable of, what she did

:54:43. > :54:46.last year in Beijing. They knew she was capable of that, she threw in a

:54:47. > :54:52.66 but that pace, that is phenomenal, and to keep it going. It

:54:53. > :54:56.looked like she was slowing down to 70, which is still incredible. We

:54:57. > :54:59.will talk more, the high jump is still going on although somewhat

:55:00. > :55:04.stuttered high jump competition because normally there is a couple

:55:05. > :55:07.of packs may be and you can weave in for your high jump but it was so

:55:08. > :55:11.spread out, they had a problem to get their jumps in. We will talk

:55:12. > :55:14.about it later as the high jump competition progresses. This has

:55:15. > :55:18.certainly been a free crispy fabulous Friday so far and we're all

:55:19. > :55:26.looking forward to what we're hoping might well be a repeat from of Super

:55:27. > :55:33.Saturday. Mo, Greg and Jess will be out there tomorrow in the hunt for

:55:34. > :55:36.gold. The atmosphere was incredible. Something I've never experienced and

:55:37. > :55:51.will never experience again in my entire life. Did that really happen?

:55:52. > :55:57.That is right, Mo Farah's history making mission starts tomorrow. We

:55:58. > :56:01.cannot wait for that. And as things start to brighten up here at the

:56:02. > :56:05.Olympic Park, I'm very glad to say things are looking very rosy for

:56:06. > :56:12.Great Britain because we have had not one, but two gold medals down at

:56:13. > :56:16.the rowing lake. Have a look at this. A stunning performance, not

:56:17. > :56:20.least in the men's four, the event made famous by the likes of

:56:21. > :56:26.Redgrave, Pinsent and Cracknell, well, they have done it again, the

:56:27. > :56:30.men's four, the Great Britain team of Alex Gregory, Constantine

:56:31. > :56:32.Louloudis, have won another gold, that is five consecutive medals by

:56:33. > :56:43.the Great Britain team. Many congratulations. Did you

:56:44. > :56:48.execute the perfect race plan there? I would say was spot on. We had a

:56:49. > :56:54.good hand there. We threw these guys are the strongest rowers out there.

:56:55. > :56:59.We played the full hand today. We got away with it, came away with the

:57:00. > :57:03.win. An epic row. We knew we had to go off hard to counter the

:57:04. > :57:08.Australians in the first 1000. We kept challenging, kept challenging,

:57:09. > :57:12.we -- they kept answering, we kept coming up with the goods. That is

:57:13. > :57:16.what we train for, that is what the man behind you does every time.

:57:17. > :57:22.Getting there. Yergin is here as well. Five in a row, how fantastic

:57:23. > :57:26.is that? Oh, my God, you don't count on the past, you always look to the

:57:27. > :57:34.next one, a fantastic race, really good. George has said you had a plan

:57:35. > :57:42.and they executed it exactly. Absolutely, to the T. Yes.

:57:43. > :57:46.Fantastic. The powerhouse in the middle there, at 1000 metres when

:57:47. > :57:49.the Australians were nip and tuck there, any doubts at that point or

:57:50. > :57:53.did you expect them to be there and you knew what was going to happen in

:57:54. > :57:56.the second half of the race? In the last race in Bosman they challenged

:57:57. > :58:01.is at about the 1,000-metre mark so we knew it was coming. Like George

:58:02. > :58:07.said we had a plan. We knew we could step on and we did. I called it and

:58:08. > :58:12.the guys responded. Yes, fantastic crew, Stan has gone down there

:58:13. > :58:19.somewhere but yes, we executed our plan right to the last word. Here is

:58:20. > :58:23.the wise owl on the end, gold medal number two, can you compare this

:58:24. > :58:26.with four years ago? No, I didn't know what was happening four years

:58:27. > :58:31.ago where is this one I knew what was coming. Sitting on the start

:58:32. > :58:35.line was horrible. Those hours this morning since our pre-paddle in the

:58:36. > :58:41.rain to come out onto the start line was torturous. But we just nailed

:58:42. > :58:46.that. It was our perfect race. We did it at the right time on the

:58:47. > :58:53.right day, and these boys, I mean, good lads! Is stand not fit enough?

:58:54. > :58:57.Is that why he has not been able to come? He has been three years at

:58:58. > :59:04.Oxford, he couldn't keep up. He puts it in on the big day in a big way, a

:59:05. > :59:10.phenomenal bloke. The Cambridge boys were holding back. I was along there

:59:11. > :59:14.for the ride! I have to let you go, we have the medal ceremony going on

:59:15. > :59:16.and the people want to talk to you but many congratulations, we have

:59:17. > :59:20.loved to seeing you in action all this year and when the moment Kate

:59:21. > :59:24.you sure delivered, congratulations to you all. Thank you for all the

:59:25. > :59:29.support from the GB race support staff, friends, family, the national

:59:30. > :59:33.lottery, we have an epic team behind is and I can't thank them enough.

:59:34. > :59:41.You are an epic team, well done. Thank you. All colours are blue, UK

:59:42. > :59:43.one Team GB, use or Sir Steve Redgrave, five gold medals for him

:59:44. > :59:47.and now five consecutive gold medal for Great Britain in the men's four,

:59:48. > :59:51.they have really taken ownership of this and the boys enjoying their

:59:52. > :59:55.moment on the top of the step. They took it really convincingly in the

:59:56. > :59:59.end, didn't they, head of Australia in second and Italy in third, with a

:00:00. > :00:07.chance for Great Britain's men's four to take the glory once again.

:00:08. > :00:11.Constantine Louloudis, enjoy the moment as well, what a smile on his

:00:12. > :00:14.face. I don't expect that is going to go for a while. Good job, the

:00:15. > :00:15.men's four, celebrate
