On strike. And here goes Jack. Kicking hard. There's little bit of | :01:03. | :01:15. | |
play is only getting quicker and quicker. Everybody is on their feet. | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
This is brilliant. Come on! She will be the Olympic champion. He is | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
pulling away. He is going to get the gold! He becomes a legend. Greg | :01:31. | :01:42. | |
Rutherford is the Olympic champion. She is the fastest, she has the | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
Queen. A champion. The best all-round athlete in the world. He | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
is the double Olympic champion, have you ever seen anything like that? | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
That is right, after one week of Rio 2016 we are excited to finally | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
welcome track and field to the Olympic programme. It is Friday, the | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
weekend is around the corner, it just makes you feel like dancing, | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
doesn't it? That is right, it is day seven. Of the Olympic Games. They | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
made me say that. The weather here is a really toying with us, I'm so | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
sorry. We wished for better, everyone told us it would be better | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
than this, I have a summer outfit or under here. Unbelievable, look at | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
the fans. Literally running for shelter. Our shelter isn't far away, | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
pretty shortly we will take cover but we have to push through this. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
This is ridiculous, how will I use this device I have no idea. Shortly | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
will be at the Olympic Stadium to see those who can run faster and | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
throw further than most of the people on this planet but we have | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
plenty else to pack in on the programmes afternoon. -- programme | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
this afternoon. The men's golf competition continues, Great Britain | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
boss Mike Justin Rose isn't far from the leaders and will have high hopes | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
of closing the gap in the second round. -- Great Britain's Justin | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Rose. The athletics, heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson. And she | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
is British, Jessica Ennis Hill, taking to the stage. Andy Murray is | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
used to being the favourite and the reigning men's singles champion is | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
closing in on gold again. He will seek to Steve Johnson in the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
quarterfinals. And there are four more golds in the swelling pool | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
tonight, it has been Britain was my sport so far at Rio 2016 so you | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
would not bet against them getting another tonight. Fran Halsall is in | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
the pool. Here is how your afternoon of this drizzly day seven is | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
looking. We will also have some badminton, so | :04:07. | :04:32. | |
stay tuned for that. I wonder what they are doing on BBC One right now? | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
They are building up to that showdown in the athletics, cagey tea | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
against Jessica Ennis Hill, the first event of the day will be the | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
100 meter hurdles. Little on it will be the women's pair, Heather | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
Stanning Helen Glover, can they add another Olympic gold in their name | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
after that it will be the men's four. What incredible history Great | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Britain have in that competition. Can they do it again? Seriously, | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
while I've spoken to you I have been trying to work this thing but now it | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
seems to be doing OK, I will show you this, that won't last for much | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
longer. This is what is keeping us on a, bit of tissue paper. I told | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
you the golf tournament has started after 112 years of waiting for it at | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
the Olympic Games. Before coming into this lots of the talk was about | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
the big names missing out, but the majority of the best golfers on the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
planet are here and there are doing a pretty good job, however, so far | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
after the first round there is a man worked 90 in the world only one | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
title to his name in 2016 so far, the Australian Marcus Fraser, after | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
you, it is fine. I was just getting to the big moment. Don't worry about | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
it. We are just live on the telly. Marcus Fraser leading the way. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Typical. From Australia, Marcus Fraser. | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
Another birdie. Can't be. It is. He is continuing on his merry way. | :06:13. | :06:26. | |
Certainly he is mastering the conditions. Marcus Fraser, birdie | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
specialist. He has only gone and done it again. He has yet another | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
birdie opportunity. Another birdie. This for birdie. What a grand round | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
of golf, this is for the ninth birdie of the round. Brilliant golf. | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
That is an astonishing start to the Olympic Games for Australia's Marcus | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
Fraser. The man from down under topping the leaderboard overnight | :07:01. | :07:01. | |
after an impressive opening round. Henrik Stenson, the open champion, | :07:02. | :07:13. | |
very good round as well. Justin Rose is only four of the lead, who added | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
it to remember yesterday. We waited over 100 years for an Olympic golf | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
tournament and it takes a British player to bag the first hole in one. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
The fault was shot came on the par-3/4, 191 yards, he wasn't sure | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
he landed it until right now. I fired all around for Justin Rose and | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
cool, bit of history for him and he has been enjoying himself at the | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
Olympic Games. -- high-fives. It just got a little bit better | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
yesterday. He is underway at the Marapendi golf course after his | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
opening tee shot only a few moments ago on the coast. He trails the | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
leaders by four coming into this but a good start for the 2013 open | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
champion. Let's look at some of the first round scores. And how we'll | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
see the groups go on round After that: Graham DeLaet is second | :08:11. | :08:35. | |
on the -- Adilson Da Silva -- Marcus Fraser of Australia is the leader. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Eight under par. Can he approve -- improve on yesterday's score? | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Movement on the leaderboard overnight from Gregory Bourdy, | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
approaching the par-4/3, will yield birdie to take him five under and | :08:53. | :08:53. | |
take a share of second. That was the very birdie that took | :08:54. | :09:05. | |
him to five under. Then he would follow that up the second birdie of | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
the day at the par-5/5. He has the outright second place, Frenchman is | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
six under. I spoke about the weather, how could die because it | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
has been awful? On the coast at the golf reserve they are pretty exposed | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
to the coast as well. You can be sure they will be exposed some wind | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
and weather and wetness as well. You might have heard about the Brazilian | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
rodent, the caravan? The capybara as they call them, they've been rife | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
around the Olympic course, so they don't just have the weather, but | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
wouldn't as well. Let's see the golf in the company of Alan Wilkins and | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
Dwayne De locker for around two. -- for round two. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
COMMENTATOR: Sergio Garcia on the third. Patrick | :09:56. | :10:06. | |
Reed has gone into the water. Garcia, birdie at the first, par at | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
second. Second shot here now and three. | :10:12. | :10:24. | |
It is a grill or's ball right next to the hole. Garcia playing live and | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
skipping it through. Ryan Fox. From New Zealand at two. | :10:29. | :10:48. | |
He had par at the 1st. Third shot. Of this poor four -- of this par | :10:49. | :11:00. | |
four. Superbly judged from there. Wonderful. Birdie putt for Gregory | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Bourdy on six. Here has made some very good putts | :11:05. | :11:16. | |
this morning. This looks good. That tap in par for the Frenchman. | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
Reid is playing from the Hazard, not quite in the water. Just leaves it | :11:25. | :11:37. | |
short. Very lucky there is a catching area there. Matt Kuchar was | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
not so lucky and five. Ian Vegas, him as well, going straight into the | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
water. Holding the umbrella. The caddies do have a terrible time when | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
it rains. On seven this is the Finn, Marco Ilonen. For par. To stay at | :12:00. | :12:11. | |
2-under par. 461 metres, par-4, it is a difficult hole and that is a | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
very good save for Marco Ilonen. Just over 450 metres, nearly 500 | :12:15. | :12:35. | |
yard par-4, difficult hole. It has a wide landing area, though. And | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
opportunities to leave it short but is up to an elevated green with a | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
heavy for back slope in the front but over that initial level you have | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
a gentle slope on the back of the green with a pin tucked away back | :12:48. | :12:58. | |
right, it will be difficult approaches to a whole that is | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
playing very long today. A good start for the day for Gregory | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
Bourdy, two birdies coming on the third and the fifth. | :13:06. | :13:34. | |
Gregory Bourdy, and the rain really hammering down on the back of the | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
Frenchman. The 7th hole, par-4. Books. -- Oops. | :13:40. | :14:06. | |
Completely unaware or not bothered? But Gregory Bourdy going along very | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
nicely, 6-under par, Henrik Stenson will be well aware Gregory Bourdy is | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
making nice shots on the golf course, got some early scoring in an | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Stensness 5-under for his opening round and will want to make a child | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
himself to close down on a Marcus Fraser, the leader. It is a good | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
group to follow, Henrik Stenson, 66, Thongchai Jaidee 70 and Raphael | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Cabrera Bello 67. That is when you feed off the | :14:33. | :14:41. | |
positive energy around you. This Guy has nothing less than positive | :14:42. | :14:42. | |
energy. He doesn't use the word defence. He | :14:43. | :14:57. | |
is not as charismatic on the cause as many of the other players, but | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
behind-the-scenes, he is a real joker, such a character. Because of | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
his composed manner on the golf course, perhaps he is seen as a nice | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
man at times, but he is one of the funniest golfers on the Tour. | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
Flamboyant is bunch I Jaidee. Thrilled to be an Olympian. He won | :15:27. | :15:39. | |
the Valentine's tournament in South Korea in the filthiest conditions. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Me had so many jackets on, he had the balaclava on. It was horrible. | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
He may come from Thailand where it is warm all the year round, but he | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
is used to bad conditions. These conditions will not faze Jaidee. You | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
can miss right of the opening hole. Not sure he's to carry on with the | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
short-sleeved shirt. He put together a good round yesterday. A couple of | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
false hole, but several birdies in a round of 4-under. It is a good round | :16:22. | :16:30. | |
of golf, 67. Looking at the 63 of Marcus Fraser. He will be off in | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
about 45 minutes. It was so exceptional, nine birdies on the | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
card for Marcus Fraser. Keeping it down the left side. It is | :16:38. | :17:06. | |
a good distance from Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Henrik Stenson, | :17:07. | :17:18. | |
marches off quickly. Third shot on the first, Justin Rose earlier. | :17:19. | :17:31. | |
Shot! That's for birdie. Just feeding away. Stay there. Got to | :17:32. | :17:46. | |
play right of this flag when you are coming in. Garcia, for birdie. At | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
the 3rd. Needs to go 4-under and join his compatriot Rafael | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
Cabrera-Bello, who has just teed off. Just missed. Rickie Fowler, | :18:00. | :18:18. | |
fourth shot to the first. He is having problems again on this 1st | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
hole. Double bogey start yesterday. That was a three putt. Yes. Problem | :18:25. | :18:35. | |
more on the green yesterday, but now he is struggling to get to the | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
green. Write about nine or ten feet for his par. Nervous distance, not | :18:42. | :18:55. | |
comfortable. Emily on a grey load, for birdie. -- Ileana Grillo. Good | :18:56. | :19:10. | |
stroke, makes his birdie. Par, par start. 2-under for the Championship. | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
Miko Elena Allen on the eighth. Superb shot. Right over the pin. | :19:18. | :19:36. | |
Posing for the photographs. Statuesque. Wonderful strike. | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
Playing a little shorter today, the par three eighths. Only 152 metres | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
as Justin Rose prepares for his birdie putt. | :19:51. | :20:17. | |
That goal has made its way from where it pitched, some five or six | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
feet. Along the proposition for Justin Rose. Up the slope. Good | :20:26. | :20:39. | |
putt! Very good putt. Settles for his par. Up ahead on seven. Gregory | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
Bourdy. Long par 7th hole. 2-under for his round. 240 metres to play. | :20:51. | :21:00. | |
It is reachable. Slight elevation as you edged towards the green at | :21:01. | :21:12. | |
seven. Looking to chase it up. Misdirected bunker. Gosh. Poached. | :21:13. | :21:24. | |
He has got a fair bit of bunker to get over before it finds any surface | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
on the green. The shots on number four, Sergio Garcia. Don't plug, he | :21:31. | :21:45. | |
says. The sand is very soft and it is getting softer and heavier. What | :21:46. | :21:54. | |
has he done here? Hit that just a little fat. Hand comes of the club. | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
He has got some work to do here on them before, Sergio Garcia. Now, | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
Rickie Fowler. This is about a nine foot putt for par. Rickie Fowler, | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
that will do him a power of good. No double bogey today, very good up and | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
down from Rickie Fowler. Starts with a par on the first in round two. | :22:28. | :22:40. | |
The hard-hitting Australian. Beautifully judged. That will be a | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
birdie opportunity, but agonisingly close for him howling it for the | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
eagle. Fabulous tee shot in here. Superb tee shot. Starting to repair | :22:53. | :23:13. | |
some of the damage on day one. Back to 1-over par. | :23:14. | :23:26. | |
Would love to see him having a good round. Super putt. He too is finding | :23:27. | :23:42. | |
a few birdies in his round. Wonderful birdie at the 1st when he | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
nearly hit the flagstick. Birdied five, birdied six. Couple of dropped | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
shots though. The crowds are a little smaller | :23:50. | :24:17. | |
today, in the wake of the 11. Please welcome to the tee, from Brazil, | :24:18. | :24:33. | |
Adilson Da Silva. From Canada, Graeme Day late. 66 the Canada's | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
Graeme Day late. Adilson Da Silva hit the first tee | :24:42. | :25:02. | |
shot on the first day of the Olympic Golf Course and here on day one. | :25:03. | :25:14. | |
This is group 11. Next ago, Padraig Harrington, Marcus Fraser going off | :25:15. | :25:25. | |
in about 35 minutes. Conditions just marginally a little better than they | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
were ten minutes ago. Still raining and still a little wind about. | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
Adilson Da Silva, what has he got in store today for the fans? | :25:39. | :25:50. | |
Lives in South Africa. I think there are a few South Africans that would | :25:51. | :25:59. | |
call him a de facto South African, but has proudly represented Brazil | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
down the years, has Adilson Da Silva. Multiple winner on South | :26:05. | :26:19. | |
Africa's Sunshine Tour. Doesn't hit the ball an enormous distance, but | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
has a fine putting stroke. Has gone over the chair. Someone hit the | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
chair. Someone nearly hit the chair, yes. Good scoring early on from | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
Delaet. Change of club from driver to | :26:43. | :27:28. | |
3-wood. It is the testing par-5, so you have the opportunity, if you're | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
going to play a three shot, with the slight elevation all the way up the | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
hole, over 600 yards, you have the option of playing the shorter club | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
more accurate from the tee. In these conditions, An has made the right | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
choice. Give yourself a comfortable distance for your third. Even then, | :27:56. | :28:05. | |
his distance is right up there. Go up ahead to seven. In the sand on | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
the 7th hole, Gregory Bourdy. That made a noise. Thick, heavy | :28:09. | :28:24. | |
sands, but he has done well to get it out. Hacked it out to the side. | :28:25. | :28:33. | |
Trying to bring the club down at a steep angle, lift it high up. Came | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
out at the direction the clubhead was going. But, he is on the | :28:41. | :28:46. | |
surface. Henrik Stenson, third shot to the first. | :28:47. | :28:55. | |
Made some very good putts in round one. Sergio Garcia, got himself into | :28:56. | :29:10. | |
a spot of bother by missing down the near side. Now, even worse. Has | :29:11. | :29:17. | |
stayed up in the face, hasn't even trickled back down. A moment ago, | :29:18. | :29:25. | |
this is Sergio Garcia now. Good touch to get out of there. For his | :29:26. | :29:38. | |
par on seven, Gregory Bourdy. To stay 6-under par. Didn't move a | :29:39. | :29:55. | |
millimetre. Little knee buckle as it goes over the lip. First dropped | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
shots for the Frenchman. He goes back to five. Scott Hend, he needs a | :30:01. | :30:09. | |
whole clutch of birdies. Ten on the tenth yesterday. Good putt, deserves | :30:10. | :30:16. | |
the birdie. 1-under for the day, 2-over for this Championship. | :30:17. | :30:24. | |
Jaidee, still in the sleeveless shirt. He needs this for his par. | :30:25. | :30:30. | |
Bit of a problem on the first. It has got to hurry. Jaidee, starts | :30:31. | :30:37. | |
with a bogey at the 1st and a shake of the head. | :30:38. | :30:51. | |
He's playing the first birdie putt. Four under, the Spaniard. A little | :30:52. | :31:35. | |
break, has it got enough? Just slides past on the right. That will | :31:36. | :31:43. | |
best safe par to start his second round. He played some nice golf | :31:44. | :31:52. | |
yesterday. Yes. Some impressive birdies and strokes, good, clean | :31:53. | :31:53. | |
contact. Gregory Bourdy, having bogeyed seven | :31:54. | :32:06. | |
drops back to 5-under, where he is in a tie for second with Stenson and | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
DeLaet. Tap in bogey for Thongchai Jaidee. He is at even par for the | :32:11. | :32:19. | |
Championship on his second round. Henrik Stenson surveying his birdie | :32:20. | :32:30. | |
putt. The trustee putter that served him so well at Royal Troon. And a | :32:31. | :32:39. | |
record score of 264. Phil Mickelson, even shooting a bogey 365, couldn't | :32:40. | :32:47. | |
make ground on the flying suite. A bogey free 65. His putt on the first | :32:48. | :32:56. | |
four Henrik Stenson, who began the first day with an impressive 66. He | :32:57. | :33:09. | |
has given himself a chance, about 15 feet for birdie at the 1st. The | :33:10. | :33:14. | |
caddies given him a read and he's given himself a read. The first | :33:15. | :33:21. | |
hole, second round, Stenson for birdie. | :33:22. | :33:30. | |
What a fabulous putt. Henrik Stenson, birdie at first. Cools | :33:31. | :33:45. | |
Bewdley -- he goes immediately to 6-under par. As Bourdy drops down | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
from six to 5-under, Stenson goes from five to 6-under through 19 in | :33:50. | :33:59. | |
this Championship. Justin Rose at the 2nd. Are fairly long approach, | :34:00. | :34:07. | |
over 200 metres still to go into the scree. He has the distance, went for | :34:08. | :34:15. | |
the safe side of the green. He will have a lengthy birdie putt, not much | :34:16. | :34:25. | |
movement in it. Garcia has beaten in the sand and some of it has given | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
him a problem, he has a bogey putt on four. That is a great save, | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
damage limitation from Sergio. You celebrate a bogey like that like a | :34:37. | :34:41. | |
par if you struggled in the way he did. On eight having dropped one on | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
seven. Good distance, not risking going | :34:46. | :34:59. | |
over the bunker is trying to attack the flag. | :35:00. | :35:15. | |
Safely getting on at the 8th. Just checking the wind, Henrik Stenson. | :35:16. | :36:05. | |
So often Henrik Stenson will take the 3-wood out of his bag, properly | :36:06. | :36:14. | |
his favourite club -- it is probably his favourite. The driver now on | :36:15. | :36:20. | |
two, great birdie start for the Swede. Beautiful. Beautiful says his | :36:21. | :36:33. | |
caddy. Straight down the middle from Henrik Stenson. There has been | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
several bogeys on the second hole, not a single birdie today full | :36:39. | :36:46. | |
Henrik Stenson knows it is reachable but not many have managed to find | :36:47. | :36:51. | |
the birdie, birdie opportunity at two for Justin Rose. It is on the | :36:52. | :37:01. | |
par-4 second. So many players have come up short having played a chip | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
for their third, this is a birdie putt for the Englishman, always on | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
the top side. No right-to-left swing for him at all. There could be a | :37:11. | :37:15. | |
slight movement right-to-left from that angle but almost negligible. | :37:16. | :37:26. | |
Rose misses his birdie at two at again no reward for any other | :37:27. | :37:36. | |
golfers. He was David Hearn. -- here is. That is a lovely putt, just | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
getting it and that is how he closes his front nine, birdie at the 9th. | :37:41. | :37:50. | |
Out in 33 for David Hearn, dropped one at seven but three birdies after | :37:51. | :37:57. | |
opening a fine birdie at one. Great opportunity to par at two and great | :37:58. | :38:01. | |
opportunities at five and nine, but Marcus Fraser still atop the | :38:02. | :38:05. | |
leaderboard, Stenson is 1-under through the day on 6-under par, | :38:06. | :38:10. | |
Bourdy drops back to 5-under. DeLaet just heading on course. Garcia after | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
a birdie to start he's even par and back onto under. The likes of Grillo | :38:18. | :38:25. | |
trying to improve their round. Jacko Van Zyl halfway through his round | :38:26. | :38:34. | |
today, still even. David Hearn two Hearn is even for the Championship. | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
On course, just not quite happening for Ryan Fox just now. | :38:40. | :38:52. | |
It is really coming down now, the rain. Very heavy. | :38:53. | :39:13. | |
He has done well. That is a very good shot considering the rain is | :39:14. | :39:20. | |
coming down particularly heavily. We are sitting just behind the 18th | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
green and we can get a good view of both the first and tenth and 16th 17 | :39:26. | :39:34. | |
and 18 are inside from here, but our commentary position is being put | :39:35. | :39:43. | |
into, just a bit of wind about. DeLaet, third shot on one. | :39:44. | :39:51. | |
Needs to get this close. Good shot from the Canadian. Very makeable | :39:52. | :40:00. | |
birdie putt for Canada's Graham DeLaet and it is hammering down. It | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
is terrible. And for the players playing down the first, the wind | :40:07. | :40:12. | |
will be coming back into them and the rain will hit them at an awkward | :40:13. | :40:13. | |
angle. 92 yards to the hole for this | :40:14. | :40:24. | |
workshop for the South Korean. Nicely judged. There is a plus for | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
these players in that the greens will become more receptive. They got | :40:30. | :40:33. | |
a bit quicker towards the end of yesterday with the strong wind. | :40:34. | :40:38. | |
The caddy will need to step away for the stroke, but Bourdy going for his | :40:39. | :40:45. | |
birdie putt at eight -- Gregory Bourdy. | :40:46. | :40:52. | |
Short again, he had been guilty of that row number of occasions. -- on | :40:53. | :41:04. | |
a number. Audio on the second green -- Bourdy on the. | :41:05. | :41:26. | |
Thongchai Jaidee under that white umbrella. Surely he has, he still | :41:27. | :41:36. | |
hasn't got the top on. He has still got the summer polo shirt on. | :41:37. | :41:42. | |
Eventually this will be a second shot to the second, 211 metres to | :41:43. | :41:58. | |
go, 231 yards. It is horrible right now. The worst of the squalls across | :41:59. | :42:07. | |
the golf course. 211 metres. 231 yards. Second shot to the second for | :42:08. | :42:10. | |
Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee. He doesn't like it. It is pretty | :42:11. | :42:36. | |
difficult for everyone right now. Conditions are certainly not ideal | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
for the golfers or anybody with a camera. What is your weather | :42:42. | :42:45. | |
forecasting? And try and catch up with you because we have about 20 | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
minutes before Marcus Fraser of Australia begins his second round. | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
Those watching in Australia, Marcus Fraser going out at 1003. 30% of | :42:55. | :43:07. | |
showers for the next hour. It doesn't seem like it is going to be | :43:08. | :43:11. | |
letting up. Cabrera Bello, also his second, two | :43:12. | :43:29. | |
to five yards to the pin. 4-under par, very good round of golf on day | :43:30. | :43:31. | |
one for the Spaniard. Trying to chase it up and leaves it | :43:32. | :43:58. | |
short. It is OK, that is the shot we've seen this morning. Lots of | :43:59. | :44:06. | |
players coming up short on two. It is a really difficult hole. Adilson | :44:07. | :44:09. | |
Da Silva after his approach, this birdie putt at one. This to go to | :44:10. | :44:15. | |
even par for the Championship. Good-looking! He gave it a chance. | :44:16. | :44:23. | |
Adilson Da Silva, good birdie at the 1st. Back to even for the | :44:24. | :44:28. | |
Championship. Wonderful if he had a good round of golf today. As you | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
would expect, it is a decent gallery following Adilson Da Silva up on | :44:33. | :44:35. | |
two. Caddy likes it. He has such an | :44:36. | :45:34. | |
advantage, so much of the field, bags of power. I don't think anyone | :45:35. | :45:39. | |
has flown it over the second like that today. Justin Rose crept onto | :45:40. | :45:46. | |
it, we have seen so many players coming up short, Henrik Stenson has | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
powered his second to the back of the green. Read and Rose were among | :45:51. | :45:58. | |
the few who reached the green. Graham Delaet, full on. Just died on | :45:59. | :46:07. | |
its journey. It is a pity for Graham DeLaet. Good approach shot in. | :46:08. | :46:15. | |
Please welcome to the tee, the players in group 13. | :46:16. | :46:36. | |
Gavin Green, one of the two Malaysians. Thomas Pieters, the tall | :46:37. | :46:56. | |
Belgian with a 67 in round one. It is going to be the second of the | :46:57. | :47:13. | |
Thai players. The next group will feature the first-round leader, | :47:14. | :47:24. | |
Marcus Fraser. That will be in 11 minutes from now. On the first, | :47:25. | :47:32. | |
second round. Gavin Green, has won a couple of | :47:33. | :48:07. | |
times on the Asian development Tour. It is a feeder talk for the Asian | :48:08. | :48:13. | |
Tour, but he has brought good form coming into the Olympic Games. 73 in | :48:14. | :48:30. | |
the first round. 2-over par. And now, Thomas Pieters. 67 and his | :48:31. | :48:41. | |
fellow Belgian, Nicholas Colsaerts with a 68, so the Belgian challenge | :48:42. | :48:50. | |
is strong. Two long hitting golfers. Thomas Pieters, round two. Nice | :48:51. | :48:52. | |
looking swing. Up ahead to the second, third shot | :48:53. | :49:13. | |
to the second the Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Gives himself a | :49:14. | :49:15. | |
decent tapping for par. That is a fine stroke. That will | :49:16. | :49:45. | |
pull one back. Sits beautifully for a birdie. Up to the ninth, second | :49:46. | :49:49. | |
shot for the Frenchman, Gregory Bourdy. 5-under par. Dropped one on | :49:50. | :50:01. | |
seven. He is attacking these pins. Has made a couple of very good putts | :50:02. | :50:10. | |
as well. Gregory Bourdy, with a birdie chance online. Henrik | :50:11. | :50:15. | |
Stenson. What a good putt that was on the | :50:16. | :50:32. | |
first from Henrik Stenson to just ignite his second round. Such a good | :50:33. | :50:43. | |
footing to start your round on a positive. Henrik Stenson, third | :50:44. | :50:50. | |
shot, it is a birdie putt. Only player to go through the green | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
today. One in a handful to even reach the green. Perfect! Birdie, | :50:56. | :51:09. | |
birdie start for Henrik Stenson. He gave it such a firm stroke, it was | :51:10. | :51:17. | |
going well past if it missed the Cup. He has been putting together | :51:18. | :51:23. | |
such great rounds. Looks like he is well set for another here. Birdie, | :51:24. | :51:30. | |
birdie start. That was travelling at a rate of knots. Acknowledges the | :51:31. | :51:39. | |
crowd and Marcus Stenson closes down. Marcus Fraser will be watching | :51:40. | :51:46. | |
this, about to tee off and thinking that Henrik Stenson is making a | :51:47. | :52:01. | |
great charge. This will be a par putt the Jaidee. Pulled that. Going | :52:02. | :52:15. | |
to be a dropped shot the Thongchai Jaidee. Sergio Garcia. That was the | :52:16. | :52:28. | |
biggest cheer of the day, that long putt for birdie by Henrik Stenson. | :52:29. | :52:35. | |
It will be soon, it will be Marcus Fraser going out. He will look at | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
the leaderboard and see it on his way out to the first tee. This | :52:41. | :52:51. | |
should be a formality for par per Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Just getting a | :52:52. | :53:03. | |
bit of protection from the conditions, Henrik Stenson. Good | :53:04. | :53:10. | |
stuff. Rafael Cabrera-Bello, says 4-under. Birdie chance, Gregory | :53:11. | :53:21. | |
Bourdy on nine. Good, firm putting stroke from the | :53:22. | :53:38. | |
Frenchman. Saddles for his par, but he will feel that is a birdie chance | :53:39. | :53:47. | |
gone. Wonderful approach stroke, deserved a birdie, but left a few | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
birdie opportunities short earlier on in the round. That one just | :53:52. | :53:57. | |
chasing it through. Gregory Bourdy, out in 34, 1-under. Third shot here | :53:58. | :54:06. | |
on the third for Justin Rose. Long, birdie opportunity. Difficult for | :54:07. | :54:19. | |
the camera people today, because the rain is coming in at an angle. That | :54:20. | :54:24. | |
always had a bit of a chance from Justin Rose. The Caddy says, well | :54:25. | :54:32. | |
done, that is a good putt. Using the slope and the bunker just to break | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
that back in. Garcia, birdie opportunity. Slides it by right. He | :54:37. | :54:51. | |
was nearly on the green in two. Just had a little chip up the green for | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
his third. Couldn't find the confident clip. Short game letting | :54:57. | :55:03. | |
him down this time. Marcus Fraser going out and about eight minutes. | :55:04. | :55:11. | |
Henrik Stenson, birdie, birdie start. | :55:12. | :55:28. | |
Also going well is David Hearn of Canada. Conditions are quite | :55:29. | :55:36. | |
challenging. Squalls of rain across the golf course. | :55:37. | :55:53. | |
Danny Leigh, he has got a great chance here. Slips in and drops in. | :55:54. | :56:07. | |
Tremendous putt from Danny Leigh. Big smile. Big smile from the Korean | :56:08. | :56:17. | |
Bjorn New Zealander. Henrik Stenson at three. Birdie, birdie start. Go, | :56:18. | :56:34. | |
go he says. Has he left that short? Might have been just trying... | :56:35. | :56:43. | |
Patrick Reed was lucky, he went in the hazard. Played out of the | :56:44. | :56:49. | |
hazard. Little catchment area. It looked like Henrik Stenson went | :56:50. | :56:57. | |
short, didn't quite carry the hazard. Maybe there is a little | :56:58. | :57:05. | |
catchment area. Rafael Cabrera-Bello, on the tee at three. | :57:06. | :57:14. | |
Doesn't like it. Also cutting it very fine. It might not be safe | :57:15. | :57:29. | |
either. Just not sure how much of our hazard area there is there. | :57:30. | :57:36. | |
Conditions proving to be tough at the moment. This is a tough hole, | :57:37. | :57:51. | |
Miko linen made birdie here. Thongchai Jaidee, still braving the | :57:52. | :57:59. | |
elements. He is safely over. The wind is coming off the right as they | :58:00. | :58:06. | |
go down the third, so we'll be pushing the wind towards the water. | :58:07. | :58:10. | |
A little inexcusable for a few of these shots. Birdie chance on the | :58:11. | :58:20. | |
fourth. Come on! Well done. Good putt. | :58:21. | :58:33. | |
This is the second hole. A few players that find themselves short | :58:34. | :58:44. | |
of the green. One of them, Graham DeLaet and Adilson Da Silva. Adilson | :58:45. | :58:58. | |
Da Silva, marching back to play his shot. This is the home favourite, | :58:59. | :59:00. | |
sole representative for his nation. Lovely touch! Just doesn't drop. | :59:01. | :59:28. | |
Slides by, but birdie at the 1st four Adilson Da Silva and that will | :59:29. | :59:35. | |
be attacked in par surely? Just behind the hole. -- attack in. | :59:36. | :59:41. | |
Graham DeLaet is just in front of the green as well. Henrik Stenson | :59:42. | :59:51. | |
with birdie, birdie start. We are hearing he is in the water on three | :59:52. | :59:56. | |
and so is Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Both of them in the water but Thongchai | :59:57. | :00:07. | |
Jaidee, is safely over the water in two. | :00:08. | :00:38. | |
We will leave the golf for the moment. What a fantastic rise up the | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
leaderboard by Sweden's Henrik Stenson, the 2016 open champion with | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
a couple of birdies from his opening two. One shot off the leader. As you | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
seem, loads of brollies up, so we don't expect many low scores. The | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
leader Marcus Fraser goes off shortly, you can watch it all on the | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
BBC sport website and the app and the Red Button. It looks like they | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
are enjoying the rain as much as we have. We've moved up to sheltered | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
position and we will be away from the golf and speak about badminton. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
The tournament has gone off the rate yesterday. The great openness one is | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
Chris and Gabby Adcock in the mixed doubles. The last time they got a | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
medal was in 2004 and Adcock are keen to change that record this time | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
around. We train six or seven hours a day, six days a week. The tyres | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
days are difficult to push through but we Love it and we wouldn't | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
change it for the world. History is made at the Commonwealth Games. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Husband and wife have won the Gold Medal in the mixed doubles. We've | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
made ourselves quite ahead of the pack on the world stage. You must | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
then 24/7 together? Doesn't never get too much? And Woodward for me | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
and my husband. Lots of people say that. They say they couldn't do it, | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
but I think we're so used to it we live the great moments together but | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
over the tournaments where things don't go as well, it is not anyone's | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
fault, those other times it can be more difficult because we are both | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
down and disappointed. When did you get together? At training camp, | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
under 17. What goes on a training camp stays at training camp. And | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
much of the year do spend away? This year it has been a lot, a good half | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
of the year. 40 or 50% at least. What is the first thing you do when | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
you've been away? Have a bowl of cereal. It sounds strange but we | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
don't have much milk when in Asia and things like that, we got be | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
careful what we have. We will get a pint of milk at the petrol station. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
The we are back in your house, nice place to come back to after being | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
away for so long. You Love coming home, it's nice to be able to cook | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
your own food and begin your own home, this is the happiest place we | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
are after a tournament. You did brilliantly by winning the super | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
series finals, what does it mean the world of badminton? It was an | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
enormous win, by far our biggest in our career to date on the top eight | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
players in the world in pairs go there and fight for the finals at | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
the end of the year, so to come out on top when everyone was there was | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
an amazing feeling, mixed doubles in badminton was very open going into | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
the Olympic Games, maybe one pair are favourites but five or six below | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
that are fighting for all of the medals. You have the title in the | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
bag, Rio coming up, does the preparation for this Olympics feel | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
different to your preparation for 2012? And going this time, | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
obviously. It feels different because it's difficult for me to | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
comment because I did not have that preparation for an Olympic Games | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
like Chris did but I obviously has that overwhelming feeling of | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
excitement that I will go to my first Olympic Games, training is | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
going well, we feel like we're at the peak of our career and into | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
form. In the Olympics whether it be searched or even third or fourth is | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
still exciting. It is just another badminton tournament that we want to | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
play well in and we want to win. It's the dream for any athlete, if | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
we play well it will look after itself. Well, they had overly | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
difficult start to their first match of the tournament. They are up | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
against the tries of the medallists from 2012. They lost that match by | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
2-1 and they need at least two wins to make it into the knockout stages | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
only the top two make it out of the groups. This is the state of group B | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
right now. China lead the way and Denmark, who had victory in their | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
opening game. It is the Danish pair that the Great Britain pair will | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
take on in the match coming up just now. Chris and Gabby Adcock taking | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
on Fisher and Pedersen Denmark. It will be a really important match for | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
them. There was a bit of a reshuffle in the structure yesterday, things | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
were delayed by about an hour and a half. Things a bit rejigged, we're | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
watching the women's doubles right now. Very shortly we will see Chris | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
and Gabby Adcock taking to the stage. I mentioned 2004, that was | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
the time Gale ends and Nathan Robertson got a fantastic silver for | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Great Britain in 2004 and this is the first time since then the Great | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Britain have had representation in each of the five categories of the | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
badminton. It is the big guys we're hoping to see, Adcock, Chris and | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
Gabby going in the mixed doubles Merritt Shreck shortly come you can | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
see it on the website or the Red Button but for now we will speak | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
athletics. MOTIVATIONAL MUSIC. It is a battle | :06:18. | :07:06. | |
of huge proportions. We've been speaking about his head-to-head | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
between Jessica Ennis Hill and Katarina Johnson-Thompson for four | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
years but it's not be able to happen because of injury, illness, poor | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
form and the children in the case of desk Ennis-Hill, but now is the time | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
for the two of them to go head-to-head at the Rio Olympic | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
Games. Into the Olympic Stadium, we will go for the first time and see | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
the track and field taking to the stage. Next up on the track will be | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
the men's 800 metres, David Rudisha going against Michael Rimmer for we | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
see could Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Dennis at -- desk Hill going | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
head-to-head in the woman said on high jump the next event for them. | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
And then Jo Pavey, Britain's oldest winner in the 10,000 metres at the | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
European Championships a couple of years ago, she has representing and | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
proving that age is just a number. That will be at ten past three. | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
After the first event of the heptathlon it is Jessica Ennis Hill | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
who leads the standings just now. Let's take you into the arena and | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
get you a little bit of athletics. Talking us through the first on the | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
athletics play is Brendan Foster and Steve Cram. | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
Thank you, a slight dampness in a hearing Rio on day one of the | :08:30. | :08:39. | |
athletics. The track starting to dry out a little, the drizzle has | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
thankfully stopped after the 100 hurdles heats, great start to the | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
heptathlon for Jess and KJT probably more of an average start for her but | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
safely through the first event, they will move on to the high jump next. | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
As we looked down on the track, the men out for the first of 800 metres | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
heats, and some of them are pretty tasty. The first three will go | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
through and the three fastest losers, 24 go through to three | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
semifinals, which will be held tomorrow. Michael Rimmer has David | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
Rudisha in his heat, Elliott Giles, the very exciting youngster going | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
for Great Britain. A lot of interest in Boris Berian, the man who | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
surprisingly came through to win the world indoor Championships in | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
Portland in March. A real display of frontrunning on that occasion. Amal | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
took to the wall -- world by Storm last year and a bronze medal at the | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
World Championships in Beijing, not quite as good as that this year. We | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
will have IMA Silliman, another former world champion and 1500 | :10:01. | :10:11. | |
metres. -- Suleiman. As Andrew said earlier, the crowd finally starting | :10:12. | :10:21. | |
to build a little. There was a good crowd in years morning. The smack in | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
here. There will be the 10,000 metre final to look for two, there are | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
some finals on mornings and we expect the stadium to be much better | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
populated in the evening sessions. Here is the Suleiman. His coach was | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
arrested in Spain recently over allegations of his group involved in | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
administering drugs etc, but just now he has been released and no | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
further charges have been brought. Obviously that is disruptive to the | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
entire group including Zebedee Bala and Suleiman. Boris Berian, an | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
exciting man to watch. He is a real character. It will be interesting to | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
see how he goes. The Americans have three very good athletes, certainly | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
two of them in very good form. We will see Clint Murphy shortly other | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
heats. Here's Amel Tuka, last year he had a great habit of sitting at | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
the back and coming storming through and running a lot of even pace | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
races, got rid -- great results doing that. Hasn't been as | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
successful on the Diamond League circuit this year. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
Tuka, Berian and so the man to watch for. David of Brazil also. Abraham | :11:45. | :11:57. | |
Rotich, former Kenyan burning for Bahrain on the outside. Probably say | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
that a lot in these games. Good morning Brendan Foster, welcome to | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
the Olympics. Thank you, an interesting hobbling to the men's | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
800 metres heats, Boris Berian, the American running in the style that | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
we became accustomed to, he ran indoors in the World Championships | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
in Portland, he ran like this but it will be difficult to run heats, | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
semifinal and final in this manner, there he goes down the home straight | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
with the crowd, to get in the white vest is following him closely and | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
moving towards him as he slows going into the bell. 50.7, very fast | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
opening to the first round of the men's 800 metres, Berian continues | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
to lead. Kane has been all over the place trying to squeeze into third, | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
pushing and shoving the Brazilian. Has a look behind and decides he | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
will move. Berian and Suleiman the big names here, controlling it. Tuka | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
looking to attack. With 200 to go. Only three definite qualifying with | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
so many heats you don't want to be the fastest losers but. Berian still | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
looking good, a lot of athletes would panic when they've been in | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
front so long but he is good at holding his form and position, | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
Suleiman just moving wide and these three, beginning to pull away. The | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Brazilian doing his best to get there. But these three, Berian just | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
keep going into the life is Suleiman wins it and Tuka and Berian are the | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
three qualifiers. Not slow. 1:45.48. A bit of an indication of what is to | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
come, getting out of the rounds in 800 is not easy. That was harder | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
than it needed to be. Berian after leading began to fade but there is | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
Tuka, comfortable, the flag for Bosnia-Herzegovina in the opening | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
ceremony, happy man today. Suleiman in second place. There they go into | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
the finishing straight, Berian has led for the first that and begins to | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
fade, Suleiman, the more accomplished 5000 metre runner and | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
Tuka in the right -- white vest just holding off. Third and fourth place | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
to be a real athlete getting a great cheer from the sparse crowd. There | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
goes a Suleiman looking good and strong. Berian unsurprisingly | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
looking tired, just a little too fast on 800 metres, it really is | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
about gauging your effort, not how fast you can go on first lap whether | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
you can conserve your energy and hold it the finishing straight. | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
Berian is suffering a little. The first of the men's heats | :14:35. | :15:00. | |
underway. This is the first of the British challenges in Katarina | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
Johnson-Thompson going third from the right. A decent start. It is all | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
based on times. Something close to your personal best. Just slightly | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
outside that the Katarina Johnson-Thompson. The Dutch athlete | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
came through to win it the Katarina Johnson-Thompson's time, 13.40 | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
eight. Happy to get safely through bullocking for a quicker time. | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill was the quickest. She got off to flying start. She was | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
the only athlete to go under 13 seconds. You saw her reaction. That | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
is a very good start, quicker start and she had on the way to winning | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
the title in Beijing last year, so a good start for Jessica Ennis-Hill. | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
This is how it left the standings after the first of the events. They | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
have high jump, shot put and 200 metres to come later today. Jessica | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
Ennis-Hill in the lead. Further down you find Katarina Johnson-Thompson. | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
But she has stronger events, she is a very good 200 metres runner and a | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
very good high jumper, Katarina Johnson-Thompson. No one beyond the | :16:26. | :16:38. | |
automatic qualification of 65.50. We are in the second round so the | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
discus throwers are struggling with these damp conditions. That is | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
better. Beyond the Goldline. Glimpse of his coach, the old javelin | :16:51. | :17:02. | |
thrower. Maybe a automatic qualifier. Take your shoes off, you | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
get three attempts. The finals tomorrow morning. Slight change to | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
the Olympic timetable. There are a few morning finals and the discus is | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
one of them. The Austrian looks like he has just booked his place in the | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
second round. That might have been enough. 65.86, he is in the final. | :17:26. | :17:34. | |
There is the world leader. 64.60 nine. 100 metres shy of auto | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
qualification. Very powerful. It looks good. There is the big man. He | :17:44. | :17:58. | |
has got three of the top five throws in the world this year. Great Polish | :17:59. | :18:09. | |
heavy throwers in all the events, including the hammer. It is indeed | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
beyond auto qualifying. He is in the final. Two of the most slender | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
figures of the second heat in the men's 800 metres. | :18:32. | :18:44. | |
Luke Mathews, the talented young Australian. Three to go through | :18:45. | :18:54. | |
automatically. Plus the fastest losers over seven heats. You want to | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
make it brisk to make sure you have a chance at a fastest loser as well. | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
Luke Mathews on the inside. Running for Australia. The European champion | :19:08. | :19:24. | |
is Kszczot. Slower opening lap. Now they are throwing it open to the | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
sprint. Guys are in their positions now. It becomes a tactical race at | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
52.7. It will all change now. Coming down the back straight. The big | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
stars haven't even moved into contention yet. Rafith Rodriguez is | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
being challenged now. Cheruiyot begins to make his move as well. | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
Kszczot, it is such a talent, such power. His work is almost done. He | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
can just ease down a little bit. Cheruiyot, ambling through. | :20:10. | :20:25. | |
Cheruiyot is there. Strong finish as well from Arroyo. Disappointing run | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
from Luke Mathews. But Kszczot, outstanding athlete, very strong. | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
There they are, down the back straight. Cheruiyot, head down and | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
not even making a move yet. There goes Kszczot, an impressive burst of | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
speed. Opening yards within the space of a few. Cheruiyot in second | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
place, coming round the rest of the athletes. The European champion, | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
looking at the screen, able to relax and gauges at that. Experienced 800 | :21:03. | :21:11. | |
metre runner, Adams Kszczot. Arroyo Porto Rican was impressive. | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
Cheruiyot, didn't have any problem at all. Look about burst of speed. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
It will be something the other athletes will note. That was, the | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
time split will be very impressive. Look at the distance, but rolling | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
through in second place, Cheruiyot looking comfortable. Anyone in the | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
Kenyan team who has come through the strength of those trials and has got | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
here in a position, will be a contender. What a talent from | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
Kszczot to have that injection of speed. It is a terrific weapon in | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
your armoury and in a slow run race, he can apply that pressure. You can | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
do that when it is 52.7, very good run by the Polish athlete. | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
Intriguing how you approach these heats as a middle-distance runner. | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
Kszczot was well off the pace in the first lap, but really took it on. In | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
the next heat we will see David Rudisha and Michael Rimmer. On | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
paper, he should be able to get through the heat, but it hasn't | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
always been so straightforward for him, not quite got his tactics | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
right? With Michael, you get very nervous coming into the races. He | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
has a tendency to try and save a little bit for the coming rounds. | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
You can't really do that, you have to raise each one as a final. When | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
you are as good as David Rudisha, you can save something for the final | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
rounds, otherwise you have two raise each times. But Michael is in the | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
strongest form he has been in for a long time. He knows he is running | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
well, has been training well and is in a good place mentally. It is not | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
a bad heat to be able to follow what David Rudisha does. There he is on | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
the track, Michael Rimmer. He was in Beijing and London, so knows what | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
it's like to be in this arena. He now has the extra endurance and can | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
sit behind David Rudisha and follow him home? That would be a great race | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
plan, but you have to be reactive and understand the pace, what you | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
intend to do in the race. We have got to have a plan. Especially with | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
Michael, he needs to be in a good position and be prepared to attack. | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
They are so cruel, these heats. The Brazilian will go through as one of | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
the fastest losers. At the moment. But you don't want to be relying on | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
that? No, you don't. You have to stay out of trouble and in a | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
position where you can react. There are different ways of doing that, | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
Kszczot sat back. There is David Rudisha with the magnificent world | :24:21. | :24:32. | |
record in London. Shows you how hard they are to come by. He missed out | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
in Moscow to injury, but came back in Beijing. Is he at his imperious | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
best? He is getting close to it, he did get beaten in the trials, but as | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
he points out, you also did in 2015 but came back and won the world | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
title. I don't think we'll see a world record. Not in the heats and | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
not in these conditions, it is not particularly pleasant out there, | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
Steve Cram, it is like a rainy day in Sunderland? I have no idea what | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
you're talking about, it never rains in Sunderland. It is warming up and | :25:12. | :25:22. | |
the sun is trying to get out. It is a big key to the Michael Rimmer. I | :25:23. | :25:34. | |
thought, David Rudisha, and also, van Rensburg and Johnson from India. | :25:35. | :25:45. | |
The top three, we need to watch out for the Canadian as well. Michael is | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
a great runner, this is his third Olympics, has never made the final. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
That is something he would like to rectify if he can, as Paul is | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
saying, he is in great shape. Michael was the first to leave the | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
camp to come into Rio on the first morning. This is Clayton Murphy, the | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
Pan-American champion and I think he will be a big flat. Little bit at | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
inexperienced at major championships, but very good runner, | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
Clayton Murphy. Heat three, the first three to go three. David | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
Rudisha is in decent shape, but I think he is vulnerable, I think he | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
has lost the air of invincibility, even more so than in 2014 when he | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
was losing too many races for his liking. People not afraid to | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
challenge him in his front running role. It is Paes of Brazil. Michael | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
Rimmer just in a good spot. Johnson nearly falling. Murphy nearly went | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
into the back of him, the American. The ending, Johnson with the | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
headband, almost taking a stumble, but Michael Rimmer kept out of | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
trouble. That was to close for comfort. Finding themselves in a | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
position where they like to be. Not good as 2012, but is it going to be | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
good enough? 52.3, controlling the race. David Rudisha is happy in the | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
front. He doesn't tend to win unless he goes to the front. He is trying | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
to do it the way he wants to do it, which is accelerating from the | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
front, opening up a few yards. They are looking at the world record | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
holder for 800 metres. He looks fantastic and powerful. He has a bit | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
more in his armoury than perhaps he had earlier in the season. Michael | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
Rimmer finding room on the inside. He has got to finish in the top | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
three. Still a lot of athletes in with a chance of qualifying. Clayton | :28:06. | :28:14. | |
Murphy, of the USA will struggle. Van Rensburg will take second place. | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
Michael Rimmer, hanging on for third. Well done to him. Clayton | :28:19. | :28:26. | |
Murphy holds his head in his hands. The big American talent knows it | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
wasn't a good performance. But great performance from David Rudisha, I | :28:32. | :28:34. | |
don't think there were any surprises. Can he do it in the | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
final? But Michael Rimmer kept out of trouble, moved out when he needed | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
to, used his experience well and when the acceleration from David | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
Rudisha came, he did well to avoid that. Just slowed a little and put | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
his hands out to protect himself. David Rudisha just stretching from | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
the front, doing it the way he wanted to do. And then the American, | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
Clayton Murphy in fourth place. Trying to get Michael Rimmer, but | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
Michael Rimmer running strongly. David Rudisha stretching out, | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
running comfortably. Enzema in second place. Michael Rimmer, it was | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
a very good performance by Michael Rimmer. He put himself in the right | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
place and accelerated in the finishing straight. Van Rensburg | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
slowing, Michael very comfortable. David Rudisha crossing the line | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
without any trouble. Bit of a warning for the rest of them, he is | :29:37. | :29:43. | |
nearly back to his best, or is he? But a disappointment for Clayton | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
Murphy the American champion, but well done Michael Rimmer. | :29:48. | :29:55. | |
Get the finalist Clevedon first round, well done. You never leave | :29:56. | :30:02. | |
what it was to do. I was in Beijing last year and it is so slow, when it | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
set off I thought, happy days, this will suit me, nice and relaxed. I | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
felt OK, not brilliant but the plan this year is to hopefully get better | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
as the rounds go on rather than get spent, so fingers crossed my body is | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
more awake and alive and I will hopefully run better tomorrow. How | :30:23. | :30:24. | |
much does your previous Olympic experience count, you're now in your | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
third Olympics? It is something that I think it is in my favour. I've | :30:30. | :30:37. | |
been here before, seen it before, lots of changes. Initially riddled | :30:38. | :30:45. | |
all 50 minute Scott, next they to 25 minutes. That has changed quickly | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
and got to think on your feet. It is a bit hectic, first day they are all | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
over the place but the experience helped me to stay calm and wait for | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
my chance to get on the track. You impressed, well done. Thank you. | :30:58. | :31:05. | |
A very good run from Michael, all with the third time this season he's | :31:06. | :31:10. | |
gone under 1.46 but did when he needed to. Michael Rimmer has to | :31:11. | :31:19. | |
wait and see -- Clayton Murphy has deceived that is good enough for a | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
fastest loser spot but we still have foreseen that to come. That scene | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
where was it in fastest losers, the results from the previous heats, he | :31:28. | :31:33. | |
won the Brazilian who finished fourth. Suleiman looked very | :31:34. | :31:41. | |
comfortable with Amel Tuka hanging on a little. From heat to, the man | :31:42. | :31:52. | |
in third hanging onto the fastest losers is Mohammed of Egypt. Adam | :31:53. | :32:01. | |
Kazak looked strong. He had the injection of pace and version -- | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
Ferguson rotted looked comfortable with Anders Arroyo of Puerto Rican. | :32:06. | :32:13. | |
Michael Rimmer doing enough and handling quite a jostling dormant in | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
the race well to get through. He will be relieved. Interesting what | :32:18. | :32:21. | |
he said about the cold times changing things being all over the | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
place, just explain what is going on and how that affects you? You are | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
told before you come to the track when last call will be, when you | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
have to have passed through the cold room and the first morning they | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
don't know what is the other side so when you're told 50 minutes, you | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
think you need to do some jogging beforehand and have done a good | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
amount of strides before you go in in case there isn't anywhere to | :32:47. | :32:50. | |
stride out and jog around after you've gone through, they were told | :32:51. | :32:53. | |
50 minutes and when they get down that has changed to 25 because it is | :32:54. | :32:57. | |
close, the warm up track is just there, they could walk straight in. | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
25 minutes is better but it doesn't involve being flexible and adjusting | :33:04. | :33:07. | |
your warm up and preparation. Elliott Giles is going in the next | :33:08. | :33:10. | |
heat, what a fascinating and interesting career he has had. An | :33:11. | :33:18. | |
incredibly terrible motorcycle accident two years ago and did some | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
temporary brain damage and hurt all parts of his body. Here he is at the | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
Olympic Games, got himself through the trials in magnificent style. He | :33:26. | :33:30. | |
won the trials and got through that amazingly but then he went to the | :33:31. | :33:33. | |
European Championship and gotten so a medal and the qualifying time. He | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
got himself to the Olympic Games in a Championship race. He has fighting | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
talk because he said he isn't here just to get through committee wants | :33:43. | :33:46. | |
to be a financier was he can do. I like his attitude. It is a great | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
attitude, not a bad heat. That might be a final and see what. To get into | :33:51. | :33:55. | |
a semifinal is a good achievement is never mind getting to the final. He | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
lines up alongside some very good athletes. Charles Jock, third in the | :34:01. | :34:04. | |
US trials. Already is his appointment there. Cafferkey dabbles | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
in lane two but Elliott Giles, with they go. Really starting to believe | :34:10. | :34:15. | |
he belongs in this sort of company after taking bronze at the European | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
Championships ahead of big names like Amel Tuka and beer on rise boss | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
and getting himself in the mix after delaying a little on the start. | :34:25. | :34:29. | |
Right in there just now, as we saw in the last you can get a bit of | :34:30. | :34:32. | |
jostling. You don't want to be involved in much of that but Charles | :34:33. | :34:37. | |
Jock just behind their angelic tiles and the second behind Africa cuter. | :34:38. | :34:42. | |
It is good to see a young athlete come on it he has done -- as he has | :34:43. | :34:48. | |
done. Before he wasn't even on the short list for this British team and | :34:49. | :34:52. | |
he has come through this first Championship and European Jebet | :34:53. | :34:55. | |
chips and gets a medal and beat some very good athletes in the process. | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
Without him on this stage looking comfortable, he has to be more | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
concentrated than he has ever been before now. 53 is a slow, which | :35:03. | :35:07. | |
means they will come from behind with a rush. Gita wobbling a little, | :35:08. | :35:10. | |
touch the inside of the track and Elliott tells is competing like he | :35:11. | :35:14. | |
means it and really, they are on the shoulder of one of the very good | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
athletes, one of the outstanding athletes will go past him. A bit of | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
a bump, now, we will find out how deep you can take and what his | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
reserves are. He is back in fifth now and has worked back into | :35:27. | :35:29. | |
position. Now he has to attack. Wesley Vazquez, the top 40 readers | :35:30. | :35:34. | |
leading and leaving them just now. Denmark hasn't had a good season but | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
he is running well in fourth, Elliott trials must dig deep and | :35:39. | :35:41. | |
find something extra. Jock trying to get there as well, but it is the | :35:42. | :35:50. | |
Algerian. Kenyon and Denmark trying to is the glue, Elliott Giles left | :35:51. | :35:53. | |
behind. He is out of it. The key takes it ahead of boom it and the | :35:54. | :35:58. | |
Algerian hits that just hanging on for the third of somatic place. | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
Elliott Giles did not quite have it and it came down to it in the final | :36:02. | :36:07. | |
200 metres. A forlorn look at the screen from Giles, it wasn't there | :36:08. | :36:12. | |
and he gave it his best. Not to be for Elliott Giles, there were | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
quicker men and perhaps more experienced men in that heat. | :36:16. | :36:21. | |
Certainly where, including Alfred Kipketer. If you can win the check | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
that Mick Kenyon Championship year pretty good athlete and we look at | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
Elliott Giles, you will be very disappointed with that. I thought he | :36:30. | :36:32. | |
put himself in a very good position going into the Bell and then he | :36:33. | :36:37. | |
worked his way back, which isn't the way do it. He should be working his | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
way up to the 600 meter point come on here years on that bend as much | :36:42. | :36:47. | |
here he is. Running out of legs as Alfred comes down the home straight | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
with Algeria running to qualify and a disappointing opening to the | :36:53. | :36:58. | |
Olympic Games for young Elliott Giles. He promised such a lot, the | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
European Jebet chips run of his club as he was a Championship runner but | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
maybe this is one Championship as a bit too far in his first year as an | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
international athlete. RFID Kokkinakis driving down the whole | :37:11. | :37:18. | |
straight. -- Alfred Kipketer. All three Kenyans through the semifinal | :37:19. | :37:24. | |
and a fast finish but the result has the three, the Algerian holding on | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
to that position. I would think it disappointed Elliott Giles and that | :37:30. | :37:35. | |
was a bit of a baptism of fire. He looked like he was on the stage and | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
looked like he was at home when it came to the bell, but then the | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
strength and, as you said, these periods of those athletes. | :37:45. | :37:47. | |
Disappointment compiled by the fact that was the slowest of the heats, | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
it was a time within his reach, the winning time in 1:46.60 one. The | :37:53. | :37:59. | |
American athlete struggling a little as well, Clayton Murphy still in one | :38:00. | :38:02. | |
of the fastest losers positions but Elliott Giles will not go through, | :38:03. | :38:05. | |
his Olympics ends here. It has been a long road back to | :38:06. | :38:16. | |
recovery for New Zealand's possibly greatest athlete, Valerie Adams, | :38:17. | :38:19. | |
first round of women's shot put qualification. She has made that | :38:20. | :38:28. | |
look so easy. That line is 18 metres 40. That is how to qualify, it is | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
like the old Valerie Adams. Bidding to become the third time Olympic | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
champion, no woman has ever done that in the history of the games. | :38:39. | :38:45. | |
Valerie Adams, 1974, -- 19 .74, solid throw put into the final | :38:46. | :38:53. | |
tonight. In the discus, valid -- very few qualifiers so far and it | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
looks like he might have joined those qualifiers. We saw | :39:00. | :39:09. | |
Malachowski, but that does me but the Lithuanian, a season best of | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
63.60. I think he just went beyond it. A bit greasy underfoot, just | :39:14. | :39:19. | |
drying out, you can see the puddles around the circle. 65.18, the season | :39:20. | :39:27. | |
best and third place in this first pole. He was the world indoor | :39:28. | :39:32. | |
champion, Michelle Carter, one of the contenders for gold. Valerie | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
Adams, big statement from her in qualifying. Bit slower than we saw | :39:37. | :39:43. | |
from Adams but it is good. Beyond automatic qualification. In the | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
first round. That story is building, you have the world indoor champion | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
and the world leader, Gong. The European Championship recently in | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
Amsterdam goes in the other group, but Valerie Adams leading the way. | :39:57. | :39:58. | |
Carter not far behind. 800 metres athletes are ready for | :39:59. | :40:16. | |
heat five, let's tidy up the result from the previous heat first. | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
Clearly disappointing for Elliott Giles who hope to go further, but | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
down in seventh, not a particularly quick heat but the Kenyans look | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
strong again. Alfred Kipketer going through. Andres Pila be doing well. | :40:30. | :40:44. | |
-- Andres Bube. It is very busy, the woman tied up in the attack on been | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
trying to get their practice jumps in between 800 heats, it is very | :40:48. | :40:53. | |
crowded. KJT just looking for her coat, I think, there somewhere | :40:54. | :41:01. | |
perhaps. Must be up there somewhere. Anyway, it has been a bit difficult | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
for them to fit in warm up jumps between these 800 heats. A little | :41:06. | :41:12. | |
water on the surface as well in the high jump area. They are trying to | :41:13. | :41:19. | |
clear some of it up, it isn't too bad. Onto heat five, we still have | :41:20. | :41:26. | |
around 1:46.1 will get you through in fourth place and that might be | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
required because this is quite an even heat. Nigel Amos is a big name | :41:30. | :41:38. | |
here. Makhloufi is the Olympic champion for 1500 metres, famously | :41:39. | :41:40. | |
lined up in the 800 and pretty much stepped off the track rather | :41:41. | :41:48. | |
controversially. He is contesting both events here, we will wait and | :41:49. | :41:55. | |
see. Amos Hammer to Lima had a great couple of years. Only 22 and manual | :41:56. | :42:02. | |
is pushing Rudisha 1:41.73 back in 2013, has been quite as good this | :42:03. | :42:09. | |
year. One to injury problems. -- one or two. He isn't the prettiest | :42:10. | :42:15. | |
runner in the world but is very effective. Scott Lopez of Spain is | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
very experienced, Benedetti and let Kent Lane two. : so, the new | :42:20. | :42:29. | |
Japanese record-holder in lane one. Interesting to see if they've been | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
watching the previous heats and Paula Radcliffe has come to join me | :42:35. | :42:37. | |
in the commentary box and where they've been keeping an eye on times | :42:38. | :42:42. | |
etc. Lots of experience in this one, Lopez makes you think I won't hang | :42:43. | :42:47. | |
around too much, you are probably aware that this is such an even | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
heat? This is very even heat and a difficult one. When you have the | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
likes of the Kliuka who can race so fast and unpredictably, you will see | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
which event he is deciding to concentrate on here as you see how | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
he progresses through the 800 metres. Watch them down the back | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
straight, I love these guys are very cautious to move in and take the | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
inside line and take on the pace in the first lap, this lap, very slow. | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
Lopez in a great place and Benedetti, Amos on outside, and | :43:19. | :43:23. | |
insiders wretched, in all green you don't see much on the circuit, | :43:24. | :43:28. | |
resigning had a big jump for this year, the South African looking for | :43:29. | :43:32. | |
some room, all the way to the back and we'll try to come round as is | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
smiley of Morocco in the old red who has gone hard on the back straight. | :43:38. | :43:40. | |
Benedetti sees the danger and Lopez disappearing quickly. Amos moving | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
into third place. Benedetti accelerates away, smiley and second. | :43:45. | :43:50. | |
Makhloufi moving up on the shoulder of Amos, who looks like he might be | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
struggling a little. Top three only on the South African might be still | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
in this but anybody could get through here. Benedetti, smiley, | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
Makhloufi, finishing quickly, Palamo two of Japan, Benedetti looking | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
across, Makhloufi looking most comfortable. Tight on the line for | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
third, smiley did, Benedetti hang on? Japan very close. The one thing | :44:13. | :44:20. | |
I can say, whoever was fourth will not go through. It was amazed he's | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
given the quality that was in there, the only one who carried himself | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
with any aplomb was this man, Makhloufi can the best -- first big | :44:29. | :44:29. | |
shock. Amos, nowhere. Amos could not react and get himself | :44:30. | :44:45. | |
out of there. He was going backwards. Tries to get himself into | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
the right position, but could not react. Makhloufi, moved himself wide | :44:50. | :45:02. | |
and got into the position to strike and do what he needed to do. We will | :45:03. | :45:09. | |
see who did get there. I think it was Benedetti, just. Yes, it has | :45:10. | :45:17. | |
come up on the big screen. That is the first big shock in the eight and | :45:18. | :45:23. | |
metres. He was injured earlier on in the season. He is out. And as we | :45:24. | :45:31. | |
said, Benedetti getting the third spot. | :45:32. | :45:40. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill out on the track. They have been warming up for the | :45:41. | :45:49. | |
high jump. One of the strongest events. Colin Jackson has joined us | :45:50. | :45:59. | |
in the studio. Denise, where will they feel today is a good level to | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
be finishing the high jump competition at? It is hard to say. | :46:04. | :46:16. | |
It is slippery underfoot. Kat will be disappointed with anything under | :46:17. | :46:26. | |
3.90 plus. Jessica has had the experience of jumping that. Little | :46:27. | :46:29. | |
bit inconsistent in the last couple of years in terms of her height, but | :46:30. | :46:36. | |
she knows she needs to be up close to the 90 mark. Colin Jackson, | :46:37. | :46:44. | |
conditions do seem to have affected the hurdles are a little bit. The | :46:45. | :46:55. | |
air, it is not as warm as it was at the start of the day, it is a bit | :46:56. | :47:02. | |
windy? It is very damp. It is winter here and we have got to remind | :47:03. | :47:09. | |
ourselves. It does affect the way the athletes approach the whole | :47:10. | :47:13. | |
competition. You are not prepared for these type of circumstances and | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
they have to deal with it as they go along. What is good to see is both | :47:18. | :47:23. | |
are women, not too far off their season's best which will fill them | :47:24. | :47:29. | |
with confidence. Let's hope, that Kat can get over the 190 mark. Jess | :47:30. | :47:37. | |
is leading the way. But it is a relative because if you are jumping | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
within yourself on the rest of the field is, that is fine. But if you | :47:43. | :47:47. | |
are not producing your best and they are, that is when you get in | :47:48. | :47:54. | |
trouble. KJT has extra layers on? It is about managing yourself in the | :47:55. | :48:00. | |
competition and she knows she will be one of the last people to come | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
in. She has to get herself in the right head space. Keep hydrated and | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
stay relaxed, which is crucial. Let's not forget, although the long | :48:12. | :48:14. | |
jump got the most attention in Beijing because she had three no | :48:15. | :48:18. | |
jumps but she was almost out on the high jump. She had a high jump to | :48:19. | :48:24. | |
salvage her competition. It was the most remarkable thing I have ever | :48:25. | :48:29. | |
seen in the heptathlon in. If anyone can do that, Kat can because her | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
high jump is so incredible. She won't want to make those mistakes. | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
She will want to make sure the run-up is smooth because when it | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
gets to the higher Heights, that is when you need to nail the run-up. | :48:42. | :48:48. | |
You need to be in the zone and feel the fluidity and keep going. Be the | :48:49. | :48:51. | |
last one standing. That is what she wants to do, as Jess stamped her | :48:52. | :48:56. | |
authority in the hurdles and said this is what I'm great at, she can | :48:57. | :49:02. | |
stamp herself on the high jump. She can get close to two metres. It is | :49:03. | :49:09. | |
game on for heat six of the 800 metres. Let's get back down there. | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
Andrew Cotter is calling this one. Yes, the penultimate heat. Mark | :49:15. | :49:23. | |
English goes for island. Brandon McBride, the very talented Canadian | :49:24. | :49:31. | |
goes in lane two. A reminder again, three to go through automatically. | :49:32. | :49:40. | |
He ran 1:43.95 at the anniversary games. That is an example of his | :49:41. | :49:47. | |
calibre. Three go through automatically and the fastest | :49:48. | :50:01. | |
losers. Clayton Murphy is still in the. | :50:02. | :50:11. | |
Heat number six of seven of the men's 800 metres. These athletes | :50:12. | :50:31. | |
know what times will get them in if they were the fastest loser. Mark | :50:32. | :50:36. | |
English on the inside. Just sitting towards the back at the moment. | :50:37. | :50:43. | |
Marcin Lewandowski in the white and red of Poland at the back as well. | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
Taking it out at the moment is Brandon McBride. Such an elegant | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
runner. He has decided to stay out of trouble and set the pace. He has | :50:54. | :50:59. | |
taken it out very quick. He was disqualified in his semifinal in the | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
Commonwealth Games for pushing two other athletes out of his way. Not a | :51:04. | :51:11. | |
lot of love lost between those, but those three getting detached and | :51:12. | :51:16. | |
away early. Look how far back Marcin Lewandowski is. Has left himself | :51:17. | :51:23. | |
with a lot of work to do. Mark English at the back, although making | :51:24. | :51:30. | |
his way through a bit. Marcin Lewandowski, will bridge the gap, I | :51:31. | :51:35. | |
am sure of that. But he does look like he is labouring slightly. | :51:36. | :51:48. | |
Brandon McBride, it is Abubaker Abdalla. Brandon McBride is a long | :51:49. | :51:53. | |
way clear. Mark English is trying to get there as well. Who has something | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
left in the final 100 metres. Brandon McBride is a long way clear. | :51:59. | :52:10. | |
Mark English is in the mix. It will be Brandon McBride, Marcin | :52:11. | :52:13. | |
Lewandowski and Mark English, who judged and timed it better. Fourth | :52:14. | :52:21. | |
will not go through. Brandon McBride controlled the race. And a smile | :52:22. | :52:27. | |
from the winner. Marcin Lewandowski did it in a different fashion, but | :52:28. | :52:32. | |
he goes through. Brandon McBride was the most impressive. He made sure he | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
stayed out of trouble. Marcin Lewandowski, very cool and composed. | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
Took his time and watched what was going on and relied on his speed in | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
his finishing. Mark English benefited from being able to follow | :52:48. | :52:54. | |
Marcin Lewandowski through. He was right on his shoulder. Closing well | :52:55. | :52:59. | |
down the home straight, showing the best form he has all year, Mark | :53:00. | :53:06. | |
English to qualify. I don't think Jeffrey Riseley has done enough to | :53:07. | :53:13. | |
qualify as a fastest loser. Looking for confirmation of that. He is | :53:14. | :53:19. | |
outside. Brandon McBride, a long way clear and he looked very impressive. | :53:20. | :53:24. | |
Mark English, judging it very well to come through alongside Marcin | :53:25. | :53:32. | |
Lewandowski. Brandon McBride, out in front. Mark English able to look | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
left and right and sees he is safe in the three automatic qualifiers. | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
His reward is a chat with Phil Jones. | :53:42. | :53:47. | |
I know qualifying can be so brutal in the 800 metres, you must be | :53:48. | :53:54. | |
delighted with how you handle that? Yes, I am delighted. It would be a | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
challenge to get through, I knew that. I had to run the race that | :54:00. | :54:04. | |
would suit me best. A lot get caught up in the emotion of the Olympics | :54:05. | :54:11. | |
and go out a bit hard. I had to stay contained and run my own race and | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
I'm happy to be the semifinal. When you saw those guys go ahead of you, | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
it must have been hard to stay to your game plan? Yes, I knew I was in | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
shape to battle with Marcin Lewandowski. I just had to trust my | :54:24. | :54:30. | |
own game plan. Tremendous performance, we will see you in the | :54:31. | :54:31. | |
semis. Thanks very much. The women's Shot Put. There you go, | :54:32. | :54:49. | |
she is also in the final. World champion last year and she threw | :54:50. | :54:58. | |
over 20 metres. The German, in good shape. Setting up to be a belter. | :54:59. | :55:06. | |
Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds. Adams will be hard to beat. | :55:07. | :55:18. | |
She is definitely a contender. That is past the 18.40 automatic gong. | :55:19. | :55:24. | |
Silver medallist in the World Championships, can she join them. | :55:25. | :55:33. | |
Did she save it, I think she did. That is also beyond. Looks like she | :55:34. | :55:39. | |
had a pedal to the mat although. It looks likely to go beyond 20 metres | :55:40. | :55:43. | |
should you want to get on the rostrum. Valerie Adams is in the | :55:44. | :55:51. | |
trio and you have what looks to be a brilliant competition. Gong, silvers | :55:52. | :55:58. | |
and bronzes across the years. Whenever the gold medal. It is | :55:59. | :56:07. | |
enough. -- never the gold medal. Jessica Ennis, so composed. She | :56:08. | :56:17. | |
looks composed and calm. A safe pair of hands is Jessica Ennis. | :56:18. | :56:26. | |
Katharina, immensely talented. Also, some fragility. She has shown that | :56:27. | :56:32. | |
also. A pensive look on her face, what are we reading, which way is it | :56:33. | :56:39. | |
going to go? Quite pendulum swing in favour of Jessica Ennis-Hill, maybe? | :56:40. | :56:44. | |
The high jump is about to start. The result of the last heat, six of | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
seven in the men's eight in good metres. Arrays controlled by Brandon | :56:50. | :56:58. | |
McBride. They all judged it well. Jeffrey Riseley, not quite enough to | :56:59. | :57:03. | |
see it through. We moved to the final heat. We have already seen | :57:04. | :57:10. | |
Amos go. The news in this final heat is that Moosach Balla, who would | :57:11. | :57:15. | |
have been a contender, does not start. That is Mohamed Salah man, | :57:16. | :57:24. | |
coached by Mark Bolland in the US, running for Ethiopian. You might | :57:25. | :57:37. | |
have heard mention about the coach and a group they have had problems | :57:38. | :57:42. | |
with. Balla was part of that group and now he is not racing. That might | :57:43. | :57:53. | |
lead the way clear for this man Bosse. Having a great season, the | :57:54. | :57:58. | |
tall Frenchman. He will be thinking, I am sure he has an opportunity at | :57:59. | :58:05. | |
these Olympic Games to get amongst the medals. Just to reiterate, top | :58:06. | :58:15. | |
three to go through. We have three fastest losers at the moment. If | :58:16. | :58:23. | |
your fourth, 1:46.65 will be good enough. Peter Bol of Australia | :58:24. | :58:38. | |
moving across. Aman, gliding to the front. Round about 26 seconds and it | :58:39. | :58:46. | |
looks as though, surprisingly, it might be a bit slow. With Balla | :58:47. | :58:52. | |
going, the big names, Bosse and Aman thinking they should be OK? I think | :58:53. | :58:57. | |
a lot of them would have relaxed when they saw that Balla wasn't | :58:58. | :59:01. | |
coming out to start this race, but they need to keep their wits about | :59:02. | :59:05. | |
them and progressed through these rounds. That is where Bosse has | :59:06. | :59:11. | |
shown where his weakness is in championship races, negotiating | :59:12. | :59:14. | |
those rounds. Very slow through the first 400 metres. Bosse is | :59:15. | :59:20. | |
controlling it. It is Aman I would be more worried about. He is coming | :59:21. | :59:31. | |
under attack now. And Peter Bol, moving on his shoulder. The man from | :59:32. | :59:38. | |
Luxembourg, Charles Grethen, making his move. The Spaniard, also looking | :59:39. | :59:50. | |
as though he has got something left. Bosse, controlling it from the | :59:51. | :59:54. | |
front. Aman, trying to find something. The Algerian is finishing | :59:55. | :00:06. | |
quickly. It is Aman in second place. The Spaniard left it too late. It | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
was a fast second lap, but arrays where Bosse was allowed to control | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
it. Looked very good and strong. He is in the shape of his life. Yes, he | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
knows that I will have settled his nerves to be able to go out and show | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
that you are really in charge of your first-round heat and progress | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
through very smoothly and easily. Didn't have anything to worry about. | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
Aman was the one gritting his teeth coming into the home straight | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
knowingly had work to do and sensing the Algerian was coming very fast on | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
his outside and he needed to keep pushing all the way through to | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
guarantee getting through. No fastest losers will be coming from | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
that heat. And the slowest in the heats. Only a | :00:57. | :01:14. | |
most as the big-name not going through. Michael Rimmer is safely | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
through. File in the first round of Raven Saunders, the 20-year-old | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
American. -- foul. She got the beat down this time though and this is | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
better. She is in the final. She is a powerful athlete. Just 20 and | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
taking it all in, the pressure of the Olympic Games, it tests the | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
metal. It is 18.18 metres. It also qualifies. | :01:49. | :02:03. | |
Anita Marton. She has proved she can do it when it matters. It is just | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
over qualifying. Quickly few qualifiers. We have not had any | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
major casualties yet in terms of favourites not qualifying. The big | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
four are in. Anita Marton just joins automatically. The difference | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
between going over that line is significant. We can take your shoes | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
off, leave the stadium and get a bite to eat. We are about 90 minutes | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
into the Olympic athletic programme. When they all visualised Olympics in | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
Rio, athletics with memories of the sunny mornings in London, weak | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
spectator some of the yellow stuff in the sky. We walk up to quite | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
heavy rain which has abated. You can see Sugarloaf mountain which is | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
peeking out through cloud that is all around it. It is getting close | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
to what the Scots would call a little bit dreech. We had not seen | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
the quickest men and women out on the track yet but they will be | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
hoping that it dries out for the preliminaries of the hundred metres. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
Paula Radcliffe has joined us. It is the winner of the most injured and | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
is on the track. It is the 10,000 metres. Amongst the British | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
athletes, a woman who at 42 years of age is about to start her fifth | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Olympic Games. In 2014, she stunned herself and the world as she won the | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
European champion jets and was third in the Commonwealth Games and it | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
made it to the podium for sports personality of the year. It is super | :03:44. | :03:44. | |
mum Jo Pavey. The Olympics, you must be proud? It | :03:45. | :03:56. | |
is great to be the first runner. I cannot believe it. When I was a | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
young schoolgirl, I dreamt to going -- dreamt about going to the Olympic | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Games and did not team I would be sitting here talking about doing if | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
F1 so I am honoured. I believe you will be 43 next month, what is the | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
secret that you have got to your longevity in athletics? I do not | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
mind the comments about my age. I do not see myself as old. You can | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
usually experience. Year after year I have been able to learn about what | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
track sessions are the ones that work for me and how to prepare for | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
events. You can definitely use that knowledge. I did not think I would | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
be here at this stage. I remember when it was announced in 2000 that | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
London would host 2012, I remember thinking it would be a shame because | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
I would like to compete in the home games but I think I would be | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
retired. I did not think I will be competing in the one after that. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Brilliant performance. This visit. Hor entire career has been about | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
this moment. It is gold for Jo Pavey. 2014 was so special. I had | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
resigned myself, it was too late for me to achieve a gold medal and it | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
came at a time when I would not have expected it being over the age of 40 | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
and being a busy month, coming back from having a baby. That it made it | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
more special than if I did achieve it as I was younger. I was grateful | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
to everyone who supported me. I have taken one stage at a time and I | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
didn't know when I would retire but I am still enjoying it so I want to | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
keep going. Could you reach Tokyo is that ridiculous? I would not rule it | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
out but I would be very old. I would be 47. I would be very, very old. | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
Most people say it might be unrealistic but I will take one | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
stage at a time. I would not completely ruled out, I suppose. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
I am loving it. We had Armstrong winning the road cycling at 41. | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
Katherine Grainger yesterday. These two lady athletes retired in their | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
30s, what is that about? You're not quite retired but you are not out | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
there. She is incredible, Jo Pavey, she is here, not to make up numbers. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Tactically she played it right the last 12 years. She eased off in 2015 | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
so she could be ready for 2016. The key thing about Jo Pavey, she is | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
doing what she loves doing and are still able to be here. Taking it one | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
step at a time, one year at a time. If I am good enough I will go and do | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
it. She does not ask for special treatment. She went to the trials | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
for the 10,000 metres and a bad chest infection was being carried. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
She raced and she knew she was not doing her body much good trying to | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
push through that. It took a lot of the summer to get back. In the last | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
minute, she gets the qualifying time at the European Championships. As I | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
mentioned earlier on this morning, it is unprecedented. We have a medal | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
race on the first morning of an Olympic Games. It is not going to be | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
on its own, there are more races throughout this tournament. It is an | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
interesting concept. We spoke to her about it, not racing in the evening | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
and she had mixed feelings? She will analyse everything, think over | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
things a lot. And eventually she said, I race on the road in the | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
morning so I am fine. Just get along well, perfect conditions. Most of | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
the athletes compete on the Diamond League circuit which runs in the | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
evening so they are used to not this time of the day. To run a final it | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
is weird but it is mental adjustment. The weather conditions | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
will suit these athletes who are going to be running for the best | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
part of 30 minutes on a little bit more out on that track. The | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
conditions are ideal for distance running, Steve Cram. We have one of | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
the best athletes who could claim an unprecedented third consecutive | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
medal in Tirunesh Dibaba. She does not approach these Olympic Games in | :08:12. | :08:12. | |
the shape she has in Andy Last two. COMMENTATOR:. Tirunesh Dibaba the | :08:13. | :08:25. | |
first to have a go at this Truman. Shelly Ann Fraser Price. Valerie | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
Adams. Gregory Campbell Brown. They could become the first to win the | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Mac consecutive gold medals in the same event. -- Veronica | :08:39. | :08:39. | |
Campbell-Brown. She is up against her team-mate, has | :08:40. | :08:53. | |
only won 10,000 metre race, that is the athlete who won the world 5000 | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
metres title. , Almaz Ayana. Jo Pavey is to be joined by Jess | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
Andrews, she had a brilliant breakthrough year to make it into | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
the British team and to make it to her first major championships at the | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Olympic Games which she is sharing with Jo Pavey. And Beth Potter who | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
has followed on with good performances over the last couple of | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
years. That was good luck from the elder stateswoman. Jo Pavey to the | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
two younger compatriots. 25 laps of the track. The women's 10,000 metre | :09:31. | :09:40. | |
final. It will probably come down to a battle between Ethiopia and Kenya | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
once again. Team-mac very good hit appeal and being -- Ethiopians and | :09:44. | :09:53. | |
team-mac very good Kenyon 's. Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot. And the new name | :09:54. | :10:05. | |
from Kenya as well. Alice Aprot Nawowuna. Just a word about the | :10:06. | :10:19. | |
conditions. , we were chatting to Jo Pavey, she's doing her last little | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
tune-up before racing. She was saying she did not mind being out in | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
the morning. We were discussing how warm it might be. This is pretty | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
much perfect. The Norwegian has ran better than she | :10:30. | :10:50. | |
ever has. Emily Infeld got ahead to steal the medal. I think this is got | :10:51. | :11:01. | |
the chance of being a better race than the one in Beijing. Looking | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
forward alongside me, to the streets, one of the greatest | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
sporting scene, Tirunesh Dibaba. Can she win a third gold medal? Probably | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
the best e-mail distance runner of all time. Five times world champion. | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
Can she do it? That is the world champion from last year. Cheruiyot | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
from Kenya, back from having a Child herself. I can very good form. | :11:31. | :11:40. | |
Moving down the field, the athlete from result, Tatiele Roberta De | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
Carvalho. And Alice Aprot Nawowuna, unbeaten this year. Surprisingly for | :11:48. | :11:57. | |
all of these athletes, these are perfect conditions for distance | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
running. The only concentration that needs to occur at is about | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
performance. This lady, Ayana, could be the sensation. Last year's world | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
champion at 5000 metres. Nervously waving to the crowd. She knows what | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
she has got ahead of her. At some point, this lady needs to put | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
herself at the front to try to run at the finish out of some of the | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
more specialist finishers. Molly Huddle beside the United States | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
beside her. Here we go, the 10,000 metre final for women. Jo Pavey is | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
the first British athlete to run five Olympics on the track. Her | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
Olympic story continues to stop for some, it is just beginning here. For | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
Ayana, her first chance in her fledging career in the Olympic | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
Arena, already proving herself on the World Championship stage. And | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
also Tirunesh Dibaba. One of the greatest of all time. Attempting to | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
do something that no woman has ever done before and when the Mac | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
consecutive gold medals in the same event. Brickfield, one of the | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
biggest they have ever had in the Olympic 10,000 metres. They are | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
taking it easy in the early stages which you would expect. It is a mix | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
of experienced athlete and some newer athletes. One of them right at | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
the front, that is the tall figure of Alice Aprot Nawowuna. She is a | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
committed frontrunner. It will be interesting to see whether she waits | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
for Ayana. This young lady likes to run from the front. She is unbeaten | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
in all races since September last year. She is new to the 10,000 | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
metres. She won the applicant championships by over one minute in | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
Durban. She ran away from a decent field, but not as good as this | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
field. It'll be interesting to see as ever, Kenya versus Ethiopia, that | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
battle. The battle lines are being drawn early. It seems to me that | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
Alice will be nervous, she has not been in this arena before. She has | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
decided I might as well get out and start running, that is what I like | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
doing, running at the front. That is what you are supposed to do, you go | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
early, it is a 10,000 metre race. Tirunesh Dibaba moving up to follow | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
her. When you come into a season unbeaten, you come to the Olympic | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
Games where you have never been before, you wonder if I can do it | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
early day can in other races and run at the front and run away from other | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
athletes? There is delete the book, she has won the prize for the style | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
today. The Ethiopian flag covered woven into our care. That is Molly | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
Huddle chasing her and that is Jo Pavey. Congratulations to her, | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
fantastic to see her here. She said the 2020, with a little twinkle in | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
her eye, she might be heard again. She is an inspiration for all | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
runners in the UK and women all around the UK who are taking part in | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
fun runs. She text them at all times, keeping them informed, I can | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
do it at 43 then you can. In the old days, biggest I have | :15:29. | :15:38. | |
heaps for the 10,000 metres, the worst event of all, then the final. | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
Fortunately they are down to just the final and we are watching Jo | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
Pavey on an isolated camera. Jess Andrews, the British champion, won | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
the trials and proved dramatically in the Aldershot final, to get | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
herself here, she has done really well. It's good to see her here and | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
also Beth Potter, the other British athlete in this field, all sticking | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
to the task, all getting down to it now. Well, they've already got this | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
field stretched out. She had a 72 for the previous lap, first 3000 | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
metres was three minutes and one, she is not hanging around, she | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
really is getting out there and setting a tough pace and you can see | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
what that has done to the pace, -- done to the field, stretched them | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
out. That was a 69 second lap. She has attacked this very, very early | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
and you can see in the arena the women's heptathlon high jump already | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
under way, Jess Ennis, let's see how she goes. Patiently waiting for the | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
10,000 metres to pass, Jess Ennis Hill, the first attempt here in the | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
second event, the high jump, 1.74 she has chosen to coming, Katarina | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
Johnson-Thompson is coming in at 1.80, we hear. Oh, yes, good start | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
for Jessica Ennis, perfect clearance. The battle of the height | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
has commenced. Two Brits, what is proving to be one of the great | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
magician showdowns, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Katarina | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
Johnson-Thompson, a perfect start in the high jump for Jessica -- the | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
great British showdowns. The good news from the early stages of the | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
heptathlon high jump, the early stages of this 10,000 metres, she is | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
already ripping the heart out of this, Ayana has gone with Boro | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
winger -- Nawowuna. Tirunesh Dibaba is in the second group with chariot. | :17:33. | :17:44. | |
-- Cheruiyot. A big gap back to the rest of the field. | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
We have news of a British gold from the regatta. Helen Glover and | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
Heather Stanning have defended their pairs gold, they weren't so | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
magnificently in London, holding off the challenge from the New Zealand | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
boat, winning eventually by just over a second. Their first heat, | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
they got off to a shocking start because they looked all right until | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
they got to the line that they would be taken over by the Danes and they | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
haven't been beaten for over two years, so that incredible record | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
goes on. They've come through this regatta, which has had its pumps, | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
hasn't it along the way, a couple of days of the rowing had been | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
cancelled due to the weather. Finally got there, a brilliant gold | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
medal for Helen Glover and Heather Stanning. | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
Steve Cram: Very good news for Great Britain and | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
hoping obviously things continue well here, the 10,000 metres, Jo | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Pavey in that big group with the other British athletes, mildly | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
gullible, the American on the back of that group with the three | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Ethiopians, the three Kenyans and the former Kenyan running for | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
Turkey, Yasemin Can -- Molly Huddle. Molly Huddle, the American record | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
holder disappointingly missed out last year and her team-mate Infeld | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
dipped inside and sneaks the bronze medal away from her and she said she | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
may never get the chance again because she knew that field on that | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
occasion wasn't particularly good. It's much better here today, | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
Brendan, but I'm not sure they would have expected this early pace early | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
on, but this is how she likes to run. | :19:35. | :19:44. | |
Another fast lap in their women's 10,000 metres, 70 seconds, they are | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
running under 30 minute pace, and this is being stretched, being | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
applied all the time. The athletes who we thought would be in | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
contention actually are in contention and Molly Huddle is | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
running a terrific race as we look at this athlete, she has had a real | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
problem there. The Uzbekistan athlete. She took a tumble, a heavy | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
tumble, she looked as though she's not sure whether she can join in | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
again. She is walking off the track I can see at the top of the home | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
straight, Ekaterina Tunguskova. She has run like this before, but not | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
this fast. Ayana will love this, playing into her hands, doing the | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
job for her. She's happy about this because she knew she would have to | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
get in the front at some time, Ayana, she knew she would have to | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
run finish out of Tirunesh Dibaba and out of Cheruiyot and out of | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Burka, but now she has the other Kenyan athlete providing the | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
platform for the strong one, that's Ayana, and now the champion coming | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
under pressure in this early stage, 18 laps to go, they know they are in | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
a race and the athletes are going to be spread out by the way this is | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
going. They will be spread out right round the track which is going to | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
give problems to the high jumpers, who are having to cut across the | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
small intervals between the distance runners. That's not going to be a | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
pleasant task for the athletes who have to judge at which point to take | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
their high jump. But this field is being ripped apart by this new,, now | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
at of Kenya. You know they come from Kenya and they run as well as she | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
has done, first in the Kenyan 10,000 metres, unbeaten over this year, you | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
just wonder, can you come here, 2.56 for that 1000 metres, another | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
fantastic run, a terrific performance. I'm surprised how many | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
athletes are able to go with this place, Steve. We have seen Jessica | :21:45. | :21:56. | |
Ennis-Hill go clear, this is the second event of the heptathlon, the | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
world leader, Brianne Theisen-Eaton, runner up to Jessica Ennis-Hill last | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
year. She comes in as the world leader after her exploits early this | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
summer. She looks as though, it is busy, isn't it, well, there is the | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
main man Ashton Eaton, the world-record holder the decathlon. | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
Offering support and advice for sure, so the Senate and looking to | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
match the height of Jessica Ennis-Hill, 1.74, a slight skip but | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
it's a good clearance -- Brianne Theisen-Eaton. Is. Is she chewing | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
bubble gum? Quite unusual. 1.74, the Canadian has gone clear. | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
I'm impressed with Molly Huddle here. This group are 120 metres | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
ahead of the rest of the field in the Olympic final. The pace has been | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
incredible, well under 30 minute pace. As Brendan was saying, they | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
went 2.54 and 2.57 for the previous intervals and Molly Huddle looks as | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
though she is coming off a bit but what a brave effort, operating way | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
faster than she has ever done before. They are all running faster | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
than they have never run before, Steve. This is amazing. I have the | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
statistic from Mark Butler, our statistician. The world record, | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
29.31, which is an unapproachable world record, set by a Chinese | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
woman. They went through 8.52 at three K, faster than world-record | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
pace, which is staggering. She will struggle in the later stages, Molly | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
Huddle, but I can't believe how many women are running at that pace so | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
the second half of this race is going to be amazing, because there | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
are far too many of them running at that phenomenal pace and you would | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
question the tactics of the leader now, because she can't, surely, keep | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
going at this kind of pace. She can't run a new world record in the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
10,000 metres, or off well, I don't believe she can, but I tell you | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
what, seven of them can't. You are absolutely right. It's interesting | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
that Ayana looks comfortable, the others have gone with it. I wonder | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
if Tirunesh Dibaba might think I wonder if I should back off a little | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
bit but Ayana is up there with it, you have to go with it. They | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
obviously are respecting the performance here of the Kenyan and | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
it's just dropping off a little, Molly Huddle has started to feel | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
this. She is so far ahead though of the rest of the field, actually 150 | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
metres now ahead of the next group. This is going to be like a marathon, | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
isn't it? We always talk about what happens in the last four or five | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
laps. There could be really good athletes who fall apart at the end. | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
There are really good athlete in the leading group but some of them will | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
have to fall apart because you can't have seven people running so much | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
faster than they have ever run before, all in the same race. When | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
they arrived here this morning I honestly don't believe that these | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
athletes coming to these Olympic Games thinking I'm going to run a | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
really fast one, because we are in Rio, we all thought it was going to | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
be warm, it has been warm for the last couple of days, we are running | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
in the morning and that is not conducive necessarily to distance | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
running, as we look at Tirunesh Dibaba she is running faster than | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
she has ever run before, she is already double Olympic champion at | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
this event and she's been dragged along and being pulled along at a | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
pace we've never seen before. In the lead it Alice Aprot Nawowuna leading | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
and leading with all of her heart at the moment, and a 70 second lap and | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
I remember somebody in Sydney doing this, leading at a hard pace and | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
other athletes ran personal bests, though she didn't hang on to win a | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
medal, that was Paula Radcliffe. Paula, you must be admiring what she | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
is doing? She is certainly setting everything out there today and she | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
will probably be surprised at the number of girls who have gone with | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
her. The biggest surprise was Molly Huddle, who now unfortunately is | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
detached and is going to be running the rest of this race on her own. | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
Having said that, she is almost 200 metres ahead of the group chasing | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
behind, so she's running extremely well. She will know how fast she has | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
gone, that she has got a personal best in her legs today and in that | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
race today. Alice is really laying it out, as you said, Ayana will just | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
be rubbing her hands that this because it's doing all of the work | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
for her. We saw what she did last year in Beijing and what she is | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
capable of doing, and the cracks are starting to open already. Tirunesh | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
Dibaba having to move up. I think she is working very, very hard to | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
stay with this and Burka has dropped off now. Yes, the world | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
silver-medallist, Burka, as Molly Huddle found it too hot, too fast, | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
too quick, and has already dropped off that lead group and I think | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
Betsy Saina will be the next to do that. Tirunesh Dibaba, Vivian | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
Chariot, great athletes being tested here and although the pace has | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
slowed a bit that was another 70 .6, this is an incredible piece of front | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
running. Alice Aprot Nawowuna is trying to lap athletes already, not | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
even halfway and we are lapping athletes because of its crazy, fast | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
pace here. Ayana in second place. Another 2.57, 14.46 through 5000 | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
metres. As the fastest 5000 metres that has ever been running a | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
10,000-metre race, faster than the world record which is amazing when | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
you think about that world record, almost half a minute faster than | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
anyone has run before. Moving into the second half of the race and the | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
only thing you can say for certain if there are going to be dramatic | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
changes. We watch Nawowuna leading, behind her, Ayana, a world champion | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
at 5000 metres, behind her Can of Turkey, the European champion, | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
behind her Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot, behind her the greatest | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
of all time, double Olympic champion they'd do if you look at this young | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
athlete what she's doing to these phenomena is of distance running, | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
Ayana amazingly those past her and now starts to run her race, as | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
Nawowuna is seriously beginning to struggle as she has gone through | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
there. Now Ayana, the tactics or her were to run fast for the second half | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
of the race. I don't think anybody would have believed that she's been | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
asked to run faster in the second half of the race but the first half | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
of the race was 14.48, a staggering time in its own right and Vivian | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
Chariot gives wreck -- gives chase, then Tirunesh Dibaba gives chase but | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
this field is completely obliterated and it's going to get confusing | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
because they are lapping athletes so clearly, the whole track now is | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
cluttered with athletes all the way around. Jo Pavey went through the | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
first 5000 metres 15.40 and if you said you would be in danger of being | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
lapped going at that pace I think she would have looked at you and | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
said really? That's what's going to happen, I've never seen anything | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
like this. This is incredible. Going out of world record pace and Ayana | :29:12. | :29:17. | |
picks it up. She has run 66 for that lap, 72 seconds this 30 minute pace, | :29:18. | :29:23. | |
she has run 66. Why? Crazy fast pace. Why throw a 66 in at that | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
point in the race? She doesn't need to do that. It's not common sense | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
but it is in common sets distance running, you run so fast. 15 seconds | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
faster than world-record pace at the halfway point. I've never seen a | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
distance race like this before but I tell you something, these athletes | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
are just rewriting the record books, but however, the old adage of | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
distance running, in the last few laps and the last few stages in the | :29:50. | :29:55. | |
last mile, things do change. That's right Tirunesh Dibaba won't give | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
this up. She must be wondering what on earth, the Ethiopian trials that | :29:59. | :30:06. | |
were held nine Ethiopian women ran, the top three got picked, nine man | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
under 31 minutes, it shows used the strength. Ayana ran away from | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
everyone there. In Beijing if you remember the great race with | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
Tirunesh Dibaba, that was all about the fast last half of the race. This | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
is so different. I think you are right, you have to find a leader in | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
the most all of this here. Athletes, very, very good athletes, | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
world-class athletes, being lapped. We haven't even got six K, well | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
actually we have six K now, it's absolutely incredible. | :30:36. | :30:44. | |
This Jo Pavey and Jess Andrews will be confused. We are seeing a | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
distance least like we have never seen before. We are seeing a | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
performance we have not seen the light of. Athletes running times | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
they had never done before and being tested, being drawn along by a | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
novice in Nawowuna. You know who has not given this up? It is the world | :31:05. | :31:09. | |
champion, Cheruiyot. She is in second place. Macro one -- Ayana has | :31:10. | :31:18. | |
been phenomenal. Cheruiyot has the expedience and World Championship | :31:19. | :31:21. | |
gold medals but does not have an Olympic medal. Ayana could be | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
running to the plan but the plan could not be to check on when the | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
race is so quick. The race is still on but Cheruiyot is a long way back | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
but still second. Nawowuna is a long way back and inferred. And Tirunesh | :31:35. | :31:40. | |
Dibaba is running in the second lane and is lapping athletes. 2.15 | :31:41. | :31:52. | |
minutes for that section. It was a race that did speed up early on. | :31:53. | :31:58. | |
They have gone through 34 seconds faster, and admittedly any different | :31:59. | :32:04. | |
type of race, just to let you know what we are watching. This is | :32:05. | :32:11. | |
unprecedented. Unprecedented. We have two women, Ayana and Cheruiyot, | :32:12. | :32:17. | |
in the Olympic final, running the crazy fast. Your old coach Jimmy | :32:18. | :32:24. | |
Hedley and my old coach... They would want to measure the track, how | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
long is that, 400 metres all around? This is where we find out how good | :32:31. | :32:33. | |
they are. They weren't phased into going out like that and they were | :32:34. | :32:39. | |
enticed by Alice Nawowuna and she continues to love people in third | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
spot. She settled for this piece and they were enticed into it. Tirunesh | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
Dibaba is a long way back in fourth place. I will take your invitation | :32:48. | :32:54. | |
and go quicker than that. Is she good enough to keep going at this | :32:55. | :32:59. | |
pace? She is looking tired, for me, for the first time. I look at my | :33:00. | :33:09. | |
computer and it was a 67 second lap. The reigning world champion has not | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
given up beaches. She has got clear distance into third place from her | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
team-mate, Nawowuna. And also the great one, Tirunesh Dibaba, she has | :33:20. | :33:25. | |
not up the chase, in fourth place and seeking another medal at these | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
Olympic Games. She already has five Olympic medals and once the sixth. | :33:30. | :33:34. | |
It might not be gold or silver today but it might be something. As they | :33:35. | :33:41. | |
come down the home straight, Ayana from Ethiopia, the world champion | :33:42. | :33:45. | |
and 5000 metres. She notices there is seven laps to go. Raqqa two, the | :33:46. | :33:51. | |
Olympic champion -- the world champion. The defending Olympic | :33:52. | :33:57. | |
champion in fourth place, Tirunesh Dibaba. She will tell you she has | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
never been in a race like this before. She has got Nawowuna in her | :34:02. | :34:08. | |
sights. The British athletes are running well. It is getting | :34:09. | :34:14. | |
confusing. We are trying to seek out 1-4 but it is difficult behind that. | :34:15. | :34:21. | |
This is a phenomenal distance race as we look at the greatest female | :34:22. | :34:25. | |
distance runner of all time, she has never been dropped on like this any | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
10,000 metre race and she is twice the champion. You can see what she | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
is doing and she is not giving up. She looks down the track and she | :34:35. | :34:37. | |
sees them disappearing into the distance. Down the home straight | :34:38. | :34:43. | |
comes the leader. Almaz Ayana of Ethiopia. She looks as if she is | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
struggling a little bit now. Cheruiyot in second place is | :34:49. | :34:52. | |
sticking to her task. Six laps to go in a phenomenal distance race. Six | :34:53. | :34:59. | |
laps to go now for Nawowuna. And just behind her, here comes the | :35:00. | :35:04. | |
champion. Champions do not give up in races. This might be the fastest | :35:05. | :35:09. | |
this girl has ever run. This is a phenomenal run but she wants a | :35:10. | :35:17. | |
medal. Can it be bronze or better? Our computer is struggling to keep | :35:18. | :35:24. | |
up with Ayana as well. She has gone through 7000 metres in 20.2 nine. -- | :35:25. | :35:31. | |
20 .29 meet. She is going to win the Gold Medal | :35:32. | :35:43. | |
because everyone is slowing down. It is confusing to work out who is way. | :35:44. | :35:48. | |
Somebody has asked what position Jo Pavey is? I am not sure. There are | :35:49. | :35:55. | |
so many athletes being lapped. With 2000 metres to go, she is looking | :35:56. | :36:02. | |
tired, Ayana. It is an incredible piece of frontrunning. She goes | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
through, five laps to go. Another kilometre, 2.55 minutes. She is | :36:09. | :36:17. | |
running at sub 30 pace. Only five women have ever run under 30 | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
minutes. If she keeps going, she looks as if she will do. I do not | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
know if she will do the world record but it will be special. She is half | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
a minute ahead of the world record which is the most phenomenal world | :36:31. | :36:37. | |
record in the books. I would get the measurements out to see if the track | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
is right. This is a phenomenal distance race. She is 30 seconds | :36:42. | :36:47. | |
faster and will be closer to 29 minutes for 10,000 metres. Only five | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
women have ran under 30 minutes for 10,000 metres. Here she comes to the | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
finishing straight. When she sees the score with five laps to go, that | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
is the sort of distance that these athletes do in training, it will | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
give for energy. The practice that running repetitions. She is on the | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
finishing straight and is clearly tired, and probably distressed. It | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
is a mental battle and can she stick to the task? Four laps to go for | :37:16. | :37:20. | |
Ayana, world champion last year with the phenomenal performance. This is | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
staggering. This is the battle for third place. Second place is | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
Cheruiyot. Tirunesh Dibaba has moved into third place. Nawowuna, after | :37:30. | :37:37. | |
those first 7-9 laps, when she went very hard, she has been moved past | :37:38. | :37:43. | |
by Tirunesh Dibaba and she could get something from this. This is history | :37:44. | :37:47. | |
in the making. This is somebody doing something that nothing had | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
ever seen. Even if she slows down as Brendan was making the point, she | :37:53. | :37:55. | |
still has this incredible world record in her sights that goes all | :37:56. | :38:08. | |
the way back to 1993. 29.31 minutes. Vivian Cheruiyot is trying to hold | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
on. She is running under minutes herself as well. Three laps to go. | :38:15. | :38:24. | |
Ayana will obviously when the Gold Medal but how quick sending she go? | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
Cheruiyot is in second place, a long way ahead of the battle for third | :38:30. | :38:33. | |
place. About 70 metres ahead of Tirunesh Dibaba. The other Kenyan, | :38:34. | :38:40. | |
Nawowuna, has rallied and moved ahead of Tirunesh Dibaba again. She | :38:41. | :38:47. | |
does want to win a medal of any sort. She wants to add to tally of | :38:48. | :38:52. | |
five Olympic medals, three gold medals and two bronze medals. She | :38:53. | :38:57. | |
wants to get another one. The Sian Harkin from Kenya, setting the pace | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
industries, has destroyed it from the point of view being tactical | :39:01. | :39:07. | |
race. We are seeing some performances here, we're seeing lap | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
times and split times we have never seen before and never believed we | :39:12. | :39:17. | |
would see. To lift the pace after a world record opening 5000 metres, | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
coming down the finishing straight now, lapping athletes on the inside | :39:22. | :39:30. | |
and outside is Ayana. She is 22 seconds ahead. In the last race, | :39:31. | :39:37. | |
they speed up... She has through in 26 point 58 minutes. She can run 75 | :39:38. | :39:51. | |
seconds. We're watching a world record in the making here. We are | :39:52. | :39:55. | |
watching a world record in the making. We are watching Nawowuna who | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
made it possible for fierce burst 5000 metres. And we're looking at | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
the athlete butt end are trying get into the bronze medal position. We | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
are looking at distance running that we have never seen before. This is | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
phenomenal and brittle. It is a test of stamina and inducements. It is | :40:15. | :40:19. | |
now a real test of mental power. Has this young lady got the power to | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
keep going? She has to keep going. You cannot do all this work and let | :40:24. | :40:27. | |
it fade away. She has to come down this finishing straight with one lap | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
to go. She is clearly tired and probably exhausted. Mentally, she is | :40:34. | :40:38. | |
sticking to the task. She will see the welcome sign and the welcome | :40:39. | :40:44. | |
sign says one lap to go. Ayana from Ethiopia, the world 5,000-metre | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
champion is on her way to become the Olympic champion and world record | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
order for 10,000 metres. She has one lap to go. URI could not run that | :40:53. | :41:01. | |
fast one lap. This young lady used to be a steeplechaser. She decided | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
she was not doing well in that event. Herself and her husband sat | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
down and keep up with a plan to change her event and the way that | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
she trained, to change the way that she raced. She pushed onto the scene | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
in the last couple of years, particularly in 2015 and at the | :41:18. | :41:23. | |
heart out of the big names. She shows how she can run from the | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
front. She can go quicker than anybody before. Never did we think | :41:28. | :41:31. | |
she could do this. Only just moved up to the 10,000 metres this year. | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
She has came to the Olympic Games and has reiterated the field. She | :41:37. | :41:41. | |
has grasped the Gold Medal. She has completely and utterly torn up the | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
record books. This is incredible, Ayana is going to smash the world | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
record and become the Olympic champion. One of the greatest pieces | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
of distance running you have ever seen. 29.17.46 minutes. It is a new | :41:54. | :42:05. | |
world record. It is an Olympic gold for Ayana of Ethiopia. Cheruiyot, a | :42:06. | :42:10. | |
brief run and almost inside the old world record. She is just inside it. | :42:11. | :42:15. | |
She is the third fastest athlete of all time to take the Silver Medal | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
for Kenya. And the great Tirunesh Dibaba will run her personal best to | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
come third after all the great things she has done. She has run a | :42:25. | :42:29. | |
personal best to only get the bronze medal. And then we will have the | :42:30. | :42:33. | |
fourth athlete across the line in under 30 minutes, she set it all | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
off, Alice Neville, of Kenya. What can you say? -- Nawowuna. What can | :42:39. | :42:48. | |
you say about Ayana, somebody when the pace was already fast and that | :42:49. | :42:52. | |
world-record pace, she picked it up and ripped this field apart. I have | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
never seen anything like that. This is Jo Pavey and Jess Andrews in the | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
own little battle. Beth Potter just behind these two as they get into | :43:03. | :43:08. | |
the last lap. Ayana almost lap Kavita Booker who was the world | :43:09. | :43:10. | |
Silver medals last year finished about sex. -- about six. Jo Pavey | :43:11. | :43:24. | |
what a marvellous performance on her lap lap. Down the back straight. | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
Putting in a sprint finish and trying to get away. Getting away | :43:29. | :43:33. | |
from the two of British athletes. Beth Potter behind her. She is | :43:34. | :43:39. | |
kicking in. She has run a very good race. She will be 31 .30. We have | :43:40. | :43:51. | |
been in a race, they like we have never seen before. Jo Pavey is an | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
inspiration, the first of the British athletes, that is important | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
for her. Coming down the finishing straight for the fifth time for her | :44:00. | :44:03. | |
in the Olympic Games. She says she's not even going to give up by the | :44:04. | :44:09. | |
time it comes to Tokyo. She -- you might see me again in four years' | :44:10. | :44:16. | |
time. Well done Jess Andrews. She is shaking her head, hot on earth is | :44:17. | :44:20. | |
going on? We have seen a little bit of history. Jo Pavey with a little | :44:21. | :44:27. | |
bit of history, five times... If we can look again at what we can call a | :44:28. | :44:34. | |
piece of history. He medal winner stick together. The unit Dibaba, | :44:35. | :44:41. | |
Ayana the new Olympic champion and world record-holder, takes the title | :44:42. | :44:44. | |
from Tirunesh Dibaba, the greatest of time. I wonder how long that will | :44:45. | :44:51. | |
last as a title. She has got a formidable team it. Two happy | :44:52. | :44:58. | |
athletes. To add to all of the great things, Molly Huddle has smashed the | :44:59. | :45:03. | |
American record, the nation in six place in 30.13 minutes. If you said | :45:04. | :45:12. | |
six was 30.30 minutes, she would take that. Unbelievable | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
performances. Let us look at this. All of the great running she has | :45:17. | :45:19. | |
done before and she finished it off with the 68 last lap. | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
Into the finishing straight, Ayana of Ethiopian, got to the halfway | :45:26. | :45:33. | |
point in world-record pace and then lifted the pace, started to | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
accelerate down the back straight. We've been given a statistic from | :45:37. | :45:44. | |
Marc Bartra just now. He went to London to the Emil Zatopek win the | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
Olympic Games in 1948. Who would have ever believed that you are | :45:49. | :45:54. | |
watching a lady running 29.17, fasting than the great and also | :45:55. | :45:59. | |
protect ran all those years ago? -- faster. You have never seen anything | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
like this before, this is a piste of history that needs to be preserved | :46:04. | :46:07. | |
and explained and needs to be considered, where this ranks among | :46:08. | :46:10. | |
all-time performances. There is only one athletes run within 20 seconds | :46:11. | :46:16. | |
of this and that was the Chinese, but here she comes, down the | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
finishing straight, world champion, on her way to be Olympic champion | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
and a world-record bonus for her, a world-record performance, another | :46:26. | :46:31. | |
gold medal for Ethiopian in the 10,000 metres and a fantastic run in | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
second place by Vivian Cheruiyot and a wonderful run in third place by | :46:36. | :46:40. | |
Tirunesh Dibaba. Look at this athlete now relaxing. She has been | :46:41. | :46:45. | |
in an area where no female athlete has ever been before. No athlete has | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
ever challenged that sort of time before. She looks at this point | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
relaxed, comfortable and in control, that is a piece of distance running | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
that you want to restore your faith in distance running, just have a | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
look at that again. That was from normal. -- phenomenal. You said that | :47:05. | :47:12. | |
would take some explaining and I would be interested, because I'm not | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
sure myself what to make of that. When you see things, Bob Beamon in | :47:17. | :47:23. | |
the long jump in 1968, people do take things on, but this is just | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
taking 10,000-metre running to a level that it's difficult to explain | :47:29. | :47:34. | |
and lots of people behind running big personal bests as well, I think | :47:35. | :47:40. | |
one Umar Farooq athlete stops a lap or two -- one or two athletes stops | :47:41. | :47:46. | |
an lap early as well, we have personal bests for Molly Huddle, | :47:47. | :47:51. | |
Grovdal, lots of people running national records etc. It might be a | :47:52. | :47:57. | |
short track, you never know! Seriously, Ayana, brilliant. I | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
wonder what Jo Pavey made of all that, she had a grandstand seat of | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
course, finished top of the British athletes, she is with us. | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
Congratulations on creating history, a fifth Olympic Games for you as an | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
athlete and to be part of an historic race like that must be | :48:16. | :48:18. | |
incredible? It's incredible. I'm so honoured to running of this Olympic | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
Games. I felt like it was such a special opportunity. I found it | :48:24. | :48:26. | |
quite tough out there. Realistically I'm getting very, very old, so I | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
would like to run a bit quicker but I try my best on the day and I feel | :48:31. | :48:37. | |
really honoured. Thanks to everyone who has helped me, gas, Emily Jacob, | :48:38. | :48:40. | |
my mum and dad, my brothers, everyone who has supported me over | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
the years. I feel absolutely honoured to begin hearing in the | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
Olympic Stadium again, we tried our best and we enjoyed being team-mates | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
together. The family watching you back at home? Yes, hello, high! I | :48:55. | :49:02. | |
really miss them but I really enjoyed it out there. I found it | :49:03. | :49:06. | |
tough. It was fairly humid and I would like to have been more | :49:07. | :49:09. | |
combative than what I was. My training had gone well. I gave it my | :49:10. | :49:13. | |
best on the day. That's all you can do. I just felt so honoured to be | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
out there, I feel so fortunate, I never thought when I was a young | :49:20. | :49:22. | |
schoolgirl dreaming of going to be Olympic that I would be here having | :49:23. | :49:32. | |
done five of them. I'm very lucky. How confusing race was it to keep | :49:33. | :49:36. | |
track of where you were in the midst of things with the world-record | :49:37. | :49:39. | |
going on ahead of you? It was confusing. You had to know how many | :49:40. | :49:43. | |
laps you had left. How many laps to go, five laps or two laps, that's | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
what you had to do. There were 37 starters. You didn't know who was in | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
the lap ahead and who wasn't. A race at that pace is unbelievable. I just | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
enjoyed it out there. It's an Olympic Games, it's special. I did | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
what I could on the day, really. Congratulations on a tremendous | :50:03. | :50:04. | |
historic performance from you never know, we might see you in Tokyo. All | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
the best, Joe. I'll keep trying, cheers for all the support, thanks. | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
Steve Cram: Well done, Jo Pavey finished in 15th | :50:14. | :50:18. | |
place with the seasons best, Jess Andrews with a personal best of | :50:19. | :50:24. | |
31.35 behind her in 16th and Beth a little further back. Well, I'm just | :50:25. | :50:30. | |
going to give you another statistic. Ayana did break the world record. We | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
thought it was fast at halfway, she then ran 14.30 or thereabouts for | :50:35. | :50:40. | |
the second 5000, which if she had just started that in the Olympic | :50:41. | :50:43. | |
Games, it would have been an Olympic record for the 5000 metres and not | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
many of the world's 5000 metres runners have ever run that pace. | :50:48. | :50:50. | |
Unbelievable stuff from Ayana. In the midst of that historic race, | :50:51. | :51:09. | |
the bar was raised in the high jump, the second event of the heptathlon. | :51:10. | :51:15. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill via, you can see, clearance of 1.74, the new height | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
1.77, three centimetres the incremental heights. In the | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
heptathlon. In the first attempt, it was a good one, with daylight, | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
really good rhythm, really good balance, posture, not a lot wrong | :51:29. | :51:35. | |
with that. Jess Ennis Hill looks as though she is backed to her best in | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
the high jump, 1.95 many years back. It's been a long time since she has | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
been to those dizzy heights, but the next height, 1.80, we will see | :51:46. | :51:49. | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson enter the competition. Someone who is already | :51:50. | :51:53. | |
in a has matched Jessica Ennis step-by-step with Brianne | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
Theisen-Eaton, the Canadian. A little close on that but it was a | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
good job. Also a comfortable clearance. -- a good jump. So no | :52:03. | :52:10. | |
damage done yet in the high jump between the main contenders and | :52:11. | :52:12. | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson yet to start. Theisen-Eaton, a perfect | :52:13. | :52:22. | |
sheet so far. GABBY LOGAN: | :52:23. | :52:24. | |
I'm not quite sure where to start, the first morning of this athletics | :52:25. | :52:30. | |
meet and we said an unprecedented medal race, the 10,000 metres normal | :52:31. | :52:34. | |
in the evening and it seems to produce quite good results, having | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
the race in the morning! Explain what you just saw for us? Put it in | :52:39. | :52:59. | |
those kind of context? I'm really not sure I can. I remember 23 years | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
ago now walking into a bar on holiday and watching the Chinese | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
athlete setting the world record and thinking I had had too much to | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
drink! To see that today. An Olympic record for the second five K. We | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
took a sharp intake of breath, this was a world-record pace race, an | :53:16. | :53:18. | |
incredible race, here is the moment where Ayana decided it wasn't quite | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
quick enough for what she had in mind. It was an incredible turn of | :53:23. | :53:27. | |
pace, what we're seeing here. We are in a competitive race already, we | :53:28. | :53:30. | |
know that, there's a nice group of people, then all of a sudden, bang, | :53:31. | :53:35. | |
and just kept going. There was no sense of I'm going to relax here, it | :53:36. | :53:38. | |
just seems like this really isn't going fast enough for me so I had | :53:39. | :53:42. | |
better push on here. What were you thinking when you saw that? | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
PAULA RADCLIFFE: It totally destroyed Vivian | :53:48. | :53:53. | |
Cheruiyot and Nawowuna, because until that point she was leading | :53:54. | :53:57. | |
that out at a very fast pace. It would have challenged the standing | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
Olympic record as it was. Then she was blown backwards by that. How you | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
mentally recover from that and come back into a battle with Tirunesh | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
Dibaba for the bronze medal, it was game over for her at that point. She | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
tried to get back into it but Dibaba kept her composure and managed to | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
real Herrerin. Vivian Cheruiyot running 27... Inside the... Will we | :54:20. | :54:29. | |
are expecting a kind of run from Vivian Cheruiyot? Vivian would have | :54:30. | :54:38. | |
expected it to go fast, knowing what Ayana was capable of, what she did | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
last year in Beijing. They knew she was capable of that, she threw in a | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
66 but that pace, that is phenomenal, and to keep it going. It | :54:47. | :54:52. | |
looked like she was slowing down to 70, which is still incredible. We | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
will talk more, the high jump is still going on although somewhat | :54:57. | :54:59. | |
stuttered high jump competition because normally there is a couple | :55:00. | :55:04. | |
of packs may be and you can weave in for your high jump but it was so | :55:05. | :55:07. | |
spread out, they had a problem to get their jumps in. We will talk | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
about it later as the high jump competition progresses. This has | :55:12. | :55:14. | |
certainly been a free crispy fabulous Friday so far and we're all | :55:15. | :55:18. | |
looking forward to what we're hoping might well be a repeat from of Super | :55:19. | :55:26. | |
Saturday. Mo, Greg and Jess will be out there tomorrow in the hunt for | :55:27. | :55:33. | |
gold. The atmosphere was incredible. Something I've never experienced and | :55:34. | :55:36. | |
will never experience again in my entire life. Did that really happen? | :55:37. | :55:51. | |
That is right, Mo Farah's history making mission starts tomorrow. We | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
cannot wait for that. And as things start to brighten up here at the | :55:58. | :56:01. | |
Olympic Park, I'm very glad to say things are looking very rosy for | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
Great Britain because we have had not one, but two gold medals down at | :56:06. | :56:12. | |
the rowing lake. Have a look at this. A stunning performance, not | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
least in the men's four, the event made famous by the likes of | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
Redgrave, Pinsent and Cracknell, well, they have done it again, the | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
men's four, the Great Britain team of Alex Gregory, Constantine | :56:27. | :56:30. | |
Louloudis, have won another gold, that is five consecutive medals by | :56:31. | :56:32. | |
the Great Britain team. Many congratulations. Did you | :56:33. | :56:43. | |
execute the perfect race plan there? I would say was spot on. We had a | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
good hand there. We threw these guys are the strongest rowers out there. | :56:49. | :56:54. | |
We played the full hand today. We got away with it, came away with the | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
win. An epic row. We knew we had to go off hard to counter the | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
Australians in the first 1000. We kept challenging, kept challenging, | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
we -- they kept answering, we kept coming up with the goods. That is | :57:09. | :57:12. | |
what we train for, that is what the man behind you does every time. | :57:13. | :57:16. | |
Getting there. Yergin is here as well. Five in a row, how fantastic | :57:17. | :57:22. | |
is that? Oh, my God, you don't count on the past, you always look to the | :57:23. | :57:26. | |
next one, a fantastic race, really good. George has said you had a plan | :57:27. | :57:34. | |
and they executed it exactly. Absolutely, to the T. Yes. | :57:35. | :57:42. | |
Fantastic. The powerhouse in the middle there, at 1000 metres when | :57:43. | :57:46. | |
the Australians were nip and tuck there, any doubts at that point or | :57:47. | :57:49. | |
did you expect them to be there and you knew what was going to happen in | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
the second half of the race? In the last race in Bosman they challenged | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
is at about the 1,000-metre mark so we knew it was coming. Like George | :57:57. | :58:01. | |
said we had a plan. We knew we could step on and we did. I called it and | :58:02. | :58:07. | |
the guys responded. Yes, fantastic crew, Stan has gone down there | :58:08. | :58:12. | |
somewhere but yes, we executed our plan right to the last word. Here is | :58:13. | :58:19. | |
the wise owl on the end, gold medal number two, can you compare this | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
with four years ago? No, I didn't know what was happening four years | :58:24. | :58:26. | |
ago where is this one I knew what was coming. Sitting on the start | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
line was horrible. Those hours this morning since our pre-paddle in the | :58:32. | :58:35. | |
rain to come out onto the start line was torturous. But we just nailed | :58:36. | :58:41. | |
that. It was our perfect race. We did it at the right time on the | :58:42. | :58:46. | |
right day, and these boys, I mean, good lads! Is stand not fit enough? | :58:47. | :58:53. | |
Is that why he has not been able to come? He has been three years at | :58:54. | :58:57. | |
Oxford, he couldn't keep up. He puts it in on the big day in a big way, a | :58:58. | :59:04. | |
phenomenal bloke. The Cambridge boys were holding back. I was along there | :59:05. | :59:10. | |
for the ride! I have to let you go, we have the medal ceremony going on | :59:11. | :59:14. | |
and the people want to talk to you but many congratulations, we have | :59:15. | :59:16. | |
loved to seeing you in action all this year and when the moment Kate | :59:17. | :59:20. | |
you sure delivered, congratulations to you all. Thank you for all the | :59:21. | :59:24. | |
support from the GB race support staff, friends, family, the national | :59:25. | :59:29. | |
lottery, we have an epic team behind is and I can't thank them enough. | :59:30. | :59:33. | |
You are an epic team, well done. Thank you. All colours are blue, UK | :59:34. | :59:41. | |
one Team GB, use or Sir Steve Redgrave, five gold medals for him | :59:42. | :59:43. | |
and now five consecutive gold medal for Great Britain in the men's four, | :59:44. | :59:47. | |
they have really taken ownership of this and the boys enjoying their | :59:48. | :59:51. | |
moment on the top of the step. They took it really convincingly in the | :59:52. | :59:55. | |
end, didn't they, head of Australia in second and Italy in third, with a | :59:56. | :59:59. | |
chance for Great Britain's men's four to take the glory once again. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Constantine Louloudis, enjoy the moment as well, what a smile on his | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
face. I don't expect that is going to go for a while. Good job, the | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
men's four, celebrate | :00:15. | :00:15. |
