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.
