Strip will to view was BBC One. We live to

:00:11.:00:18.

the defending Olympics champion. This has gone to a deciding set

:00:19.:00:33.

tie-break. I will ask you to turn to continue coverage of this match in

:00:34.:00:37.

Rio. Back to Simon Reid.

:00:38.:00:45.

Andy Murray really tight. No mistakes, so far, in this

:00:46.:01:13.

tie-breaker. Oh, what a shot. Andy Murray finding

:01:14.:02:01.

it hard to accept and you can understand why. A miracle shot from

:02:02.:02:10.

Johnson on the move. Murray hat to have won the point with that shot.

:02:11.:02:14.

That was a shot Roger Federer would have been proud of. Exquisite

:02:15.:02:22.

control. He has brute force, but he has some ability also.

:02:23.:02:37.

UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats, please.

:02:38.:02:45.

Still a lot of people moving around. It has been a constant factor in

:02:46.:02:46.

this match. No, it was never going to work, that

:02:47.:03:00.

one. Johnson hitting the ball away, but

:03:01.:03:15.

not too fiercely. He has already been warned for language.

:03:16.:03:22.

In the first set when things were going so badly wrong. He lost the

:03:23.:03:25.

first set 6-0. It has just drifted out.

:03:26.:04:09.

He will challenge. Of course he would. He has one left, now. The

:04:10.:04:15.

extra one from the break-up. It looked as if it had just drifted

:04:16.:04:19.

away. And here are four match points for

:04:20.:04:25.

Andy Murray to make it through to the semifinals.

:04:26.:05:09.

What a match. It is like two different tournaments this has been

:05:10.:05:35.

for Andy Murray. Easy as pie the first two rounds, but yesterday

:05:36.:05:41.

against Fognini, it was like a Houdini act and he has done it again

:05:42.:05:45.

against Steve Johnson. It was not the best of Andy Murray, but once

:05:46.:05:50.

again, we saw the best of his fighting qualities and that is what

:05:51.:05:55.

has seen him through. He has made it through to the semifinal and he is

:05:56.:05:59.

one match away from another Olympic medal.

:06:00.:06:03.

And in that semifinal he will meet Gael Monfils or Kei Nishikori. If he

:06:04.:06:18.

wins that he will be into a gold medal match to defend the one he won

:06:19.:06:24.

in London. Andy Murray is a sensational fighter and this matters

:06:25.:06:28.

to him. For all the talk when tennis came into the Olympics, that maybe

:06:29.:06:33.

it would not be a priority for the leading players. It has become a big

:06:34.:06:38.

deal for them. Rafa Nadal is here. Novak Djokovic went out in the first

:06:39.:06:44.

round, he was in tears. Andy Murray said it was the highest honour to

:06:45.:06:50.

carry the flag for Team GB in the opening ceremony. I will be chatting

:06:51.:06:56.

to some of these later on. We have a wonderfully packed programme with a

:06:57.:07:00.

glorious afternoon. It is time to bring on the dancing horses.

:07:01.:07:06.

The performing arts, Ellison -- elegance and grace to be admired and

:07:07.:07:18.

judged. For this is beauty and competition. It is smoothness and

:07:19.:07:22.

the finest attention to detail and the assessment of being marked. This

:07:23.:07:29.

is precision and this is pressure. Charlotte Dujardin has iced cake in

:07:30.:07:34.

style and Britain has another gold medal! The art of performance is to

:07:35.:07:39.

conceal the nerves and the emotion and to reveal only the poetry of the

:07:40.:07:41.

motion. Today you will see the Grand Prix

:07:42.:07:54.

special, the second day of the team accommodation. These are the scenes

:07:55.:07:59.

on Copacabana, not really a day for sunbathing. The sea is pretty wild,

:08:00.:08:04.

but it has cleared considerably from this morning when there was a

:08:05.:08:07.

massive rainstorm will stop if you are catching up on Olympics news, we

:08:08.:08:12.

will tell you what has happened so far. These are the headlines so far

:08:13.:08:22.

on day seven will stop Helen Glover and Heather Stanning continued their

:08:23.:08:25.

unbeaten run with the race that mattered, a gold medal in the

:08:26.:08:29.

women's pair to defend their Olympic title in style.

:08:30.:08:38.

The men's four were similarly powerful, Alex Gregory,

:08:39.:08:51.

Mohammed and Nash and a lewdness. A terrific start to the heptathlon.

:08:52.:08:58.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson leads after setting a new British record

:08:59.:09:04.

in the high jump. Jessica Ennis-Hill winning the 100 metres hurdles. She

:09:05.:09:08.

is lying in third at the moment with two events to come tonight.

:09:09.:09:15.

Jo Pavey was 15th in the women's 10,000 metres but did not achieve a

:09:16.:09:29.

season's best. The Ethiopian winning, smashing a record. And Andy

:09:30.:09:35.

Murray taken into a deciding set against Steve Johnson. He won it on

:09:36.:09:45.

a tie-break. Let's give you an idea of how things will pan out this

:09:46.:09:50.

evening and what you can expect to see. Very soon we will head to the

:09:51.:09:55.

dressage and stay until its conclusion. I will be talking to the

:09:56.:10:06.

silver medal winning rugby sevens team shortly. We will talk to Philip

:10:07.:10:10.

Hindes, who last night was part of the men's sprint team who won gold

:10:11.:10:20.

and we will give you Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner. And the team

:10:21.:10:27.

pursuit, that team including Sir Bradley Wiggins and they will go for

:10:28.:10:33.

gold a little later tonight. Before London 2012, Great Britain had never

:10:34.:10:39.

won a medal in dressage. Get to a home games and Charlotte Dujardin

:10:40.:10:42.

took the individual gold medal and was part of a gold medal winning

:10:43.:10:47.

team, a turnaround for a sport that had not registered in terms of

:10:48.:10:52.

public opinion. It has been an interesting start. We will pick it

:10:53.:10:56.

up with Fiona Bigwood whose story is sensational. It was not that long

:10:57.:11:01.

ago when she suffered a bad fall at a local event and it left her with

:11:02.:11:05.

concussion and problems with her vision, which means she rides with

:11:06.:11:11.

an eye patch. Two more to come after her. Commentary from Ian Stark and

:11:12.:11:24.

Mike Tucker. Fasten down the hatches and get the seat belts on. The next

:11:25.:11:31.

hour, hour and 20 minutes, will be pretty dramatic. The bronze medal,

:11:32.:11:39.

that is far from certain at the moment. It is looking perhaps more

:11:40.:11:45.

like the Netherlands creeping back to win the bronze. The United States

:11:46.:11:49.

of America have two still to come and a lot will be on their

:11:50.:11:55.

shoulders. And Britain trying to chase Germany.

:11:56.:12:07.

But now, the lady from Great Britain, Fiona Bigwood, from

:12:08.:12:19.

Horsham. Very much part of a great performance in the Europeans in

:12:20.:12:22.

Aachen. What about the Olympics in Rio? The second rider for Great

:12:23.:12:37.

Britain on this medal day. Lovely transition. You saw the horse really

:12:38.:12:52.

collecting. Starting on a good note. This horse has an amazing extended

:12:53.:13:00.

trot. Great freedom of the shoulder. Started off 8.1 for the halt. A good

:13:01.:13:04.

start. Really nice outline and balance. On

:13:05.:13:21.

the short side. The collected trot. Lovely cadence in the half pass.

:13:22.:13:31.

Nicely connected to the hands. Fiona is good with her hands there. She

:13:32.:13:37.

has struggled at times with this horse and her connection from the

:13:38.:13:44.

hands to the horse's mouth. She is sensitive, this horse. Fiona first

:13:45.:13:55.

that a championship of the world in 2010 in Kentucky. More recently part

:13:56.:13:59.

of the European success last year in Aachen. But now with Orthilia,

:14:00.:14:07.

looking for a medal in the Olympics. Her first Olympics. That patch, any

:14:08.:14:14.

of you who may not be altogether clear of the background of Fiona,

:14:15.:14:19.

who had a really bad fall in 2014. Really gave her head a Big Bang. Had

:14:20.:14:29.

bad double vision and was out of the saddle for many months. Tremendous

:14:30.:14:34.

to come back. And still problems with the double vision and so

:14:35.:14:39.

where's a patch accordingly. Certainly has not hampered her in

:14:40.:14:45.

the last two seasons on this lovely horse. Great cadence in the last

:14:46.:14:46.

half pass. The extended trot. She has to watch

:14:47.:15:10.

to make sure she does not tuck in to much and become to light in her

:15:11.:15:14.

contact. Very nice transition back. Fiona absolutely adores this mayor

:15:15.:15:40.

mare. Known as Tillie in the stable. When you have a good one, there is

:15:41.:15:46.

nothing better. She goes a little bit in there as if she is going into

:15:47.:15:54.

battle. A lovely extended walk. If Britain wins gold here and retains

:15:55.:15:58.

the Olympic title from 2012, all three of our riders, Fiona, Carl

:15:59.:16:06.

Hester, Charlotte, they will have to surpass themselves. At the moment,

:16:07.:16:12.

Fiona Bigwood and Orthilia get ink an average of 78%. Behind Dorothee

:16:13.:16:20.

Schneider. Mistake with the piaf.

:16:21.:16:45.

And back into the piaf again and again another low mac.

:16:46.:16:52.

That is really disappointing for her it looked like she lost confidence

:16:53.:16:59.

there a little bit. 3.9 for the piaf. And a 6.6 for the

:17:00.:17:05.

transition. This is starting to change things a little bit.

:17:06.:17:13.

Yes, it suddenly drops back to an average of just under 73%.

:17:14.:17:19.

Number 8 for the dressage. Now she can start to relax the mare. Ready

:17:20.:17:30.

for the final canter work. It's an easy balance.

:17:31.:17:46.

7.6 average for the first pass. 7 of 6 for the next. Some judges are

:17:47.:18:04.

giving 8s. Some are giving 7.5s. One tiny mistake at the end of the

:18:05.:18:11.

changes. That will be expensive. Slightly short on one hind leg. Then

:18:12.:18:17.

another error. 5.2. It is another low mark, sadly.

:18:18.:18:45.

7.2. Extended canter. Fiona must be careful to collect back nicely.

:18:46.:19:02.

Making a clean change. Very nice. Coming into this first pirouette on

:19:03.:19:07.

to the centre line. Nicely ridden out.

:19:08.:19:13.

Really sitting there in the pirouette. 7.8.

:19:14.:19:24.

Clean, one time changes. Moving on to the pirouette to the right.

:19:25.:19:34.

Nicely controlled out. This mare has talent for sitting. Such a shame to

:19:35.:19:39.

make the mistakes in the piaf. It is really one of her fortes.

:19:40.:19:48.

Not too much, Fiona... Just worried she was going to override and lose

:19:49.:19:54.

the balance. She did a great job, though, great job. You see how Fiona

:19:55.:20:01.

is holding what we call the snafflerein. Two bits in the horse's

:20:02.:20:07.

mouth. The curved one is below, slightly dangling. There is a more

:20:08.:20:17.

severe bit of the two bits. So she is riding very tactifully with the

:20:18.:20:25.

mild snaffle rein. I am really surprised with the piaf. Perhaps

:20:26.:20:29.

caught herself in the mouth in the piaf.

:20:30.:20:34.

I think that this mare was worried she may have made a mistake coming

:20:35.:20:39.

into the first piaf. Picked up down the last line. The marks got over

:20:40.:20:47.

the 74% on the averages. Now, that very definitely puts the

:20:48.:20:52.

ball back in the German's court, one feels.

:20:53.:20:59.

Peter Storr and Mike Tucker describing that. And Fiona Bigwood's

:21:00.:21:11.

score on Tillie was 74. .352%. Still to come, Charlotte Dujardin on the

:21:12.:21:24.

remarkable Valegro. Great Britain behind Germany. Amber

:21:25.:21:30.

Hill has gone out of the skeet shooting at the semi-final stage.

:21:31.:21:34.

But we are celebrating with the boys now. They won a silver medal in the

:21:35.:21:41.

rugby sevens. Katherine Downes followed them every step of the way.

:21:42.:21:48.

There is no doubt about it, rugby sevens has been the hit of the

:21:49.:21:52.

Olympics so far. Australia's women have won the Olympic title. Now Team

:21:53.:21:57.

GB's men are through to the final four. The Deodoro Stadium is ready

:21:58.:22:06.

to rock. In goeses yell,s issying Afrika. Dan

:22:07.:22:13.

Norton gets a boot on it. The try of the opening of the

:22:14.:22:21.

semi-final. Now the speedsters. One on one, easy past Dylan Sage.

:22:22.:22:31.

Great Britain's first try. Kolbe brings in to Sam. That went to

:22:32.:22:37.

ground. It's a steal by the red shirts. Dan Bibby waits. Sam Cross.

:22:38.:22:44.

Into Bibby. He hook it is off the park. Great Britain are in the gold

:22:45.:22:51.

final. They will play Fiji. This is the family of the captain of

:22:52.:22:56.

Great Britain Tom Mitchell. It was unbelievable. Speechless, I

:22:57.:22:59.

have no words. He is through with a chance to win

:23:00.:23:02.

the Olympic gold. I know. I have nothing to say about

:23:03.:23:09.

it, other than I could to the imagine this happening when we all

:23:10.:23:11.

flew out here. So this is it the final of the rugby

:23:12.:23:17.

sevens. The first time that the sport has been played at Olympics.

:23:18.:23:21.

Great Britain are guaranteed a medal. Will it be gold? This lot

:23:22.:23:26.

certainly hope so. And the captain of Fiji scores the

:23:27.:23:33.

first try. And the off load... Vuvu. It will be

:23:34.:23:41.

all over by half-time. It's a mauling. It is ugly! A try

:23:42.:23:52.

for Dan Norton. Great Britain are on the board! They have something from

:23:53.:24:02.

the final! Oh, it's gone forward. This could be... No! It is such a

:24:03.:24:10.

moment in the history of Fiji, the rugby team and Fiji the country.

:24:11.:24:16.

This is their first ever medal at the Olympic Games. It is gold. They

:24:17.:24:22.

have thumped Great Britain by 43-7. What do you think is happening at

:24:23.:24:28.

home right now? Oh, everybody will be celebrating, jumping up and down

:24:29.:24:32.

and kissing each other and so passionate as this is what it is all

:24:33.:24:39.

about. To witness the historic moment for the tiny island of Fiji,

:24:40.:24:46.

this is for the people of Fiji. The atmosphere is awesome. Great to

:24:47.:24:49.

share the sport with the rest of the world. Obviously for the rugby

:24:50.:24:55.

world, they know this is what it is like on every tournament. Hopefully

:24:56.:25:00.

it goes forward now. Next one to Tokyo! And a massive deal for Fiji.

:25:01.:25:07.

They had a tropical cyclone in February, it killed 44 people. They

:25:08.:25:11.

think that the Gold Medal will make a boost to benefit the economy to

:25:12.:25:17.

the tune of about ?167 million. But you guys came here and many of the

:25:18.:25:24.

people were expecting you to win a medalals. But did you necessarily

:25:25.:25:31.

expect to do it? We had challenges. There were some doubters, and there

:25:32.:25:36.

were challenges. But it's been an amazing journey.

:25:37.:25:41.

You only got together as a squad at the end of May? Yeah. We came

:25:42.:25:47.

together later. Unable to compete on the world serious like many our

:25:48.:25:52.

countries. So it was a day of everyone buying into it. Everyone

:25:53.:25:56.

has done that, not just here but those at home who did not make the

:25:57.:26:00.

final squad. So it is a testament to them. A lot of the work that they

:26:01.:26:06.

put in it is part of this success as well. I have to have a chat with Dan

:26:07.:26:13.

Bibby. Your try against Argentina will live long in the memory? Well,

:26:14.:26:19.

that was great. But these boys did the work. To keep Argentina out. It

:26:20.:26:24.

was something like 26 minutes without conceding a try. It was

:26:25.:26:29.

awesome. We are watching it again, so you can take the glory for a sec

:26:30.:26:33.

time. Doing a spin around. Bombarded by

:26:34.:26:38.

the boys. You can see the pride in the boys. How hard we worked to get

:26:39.:26:43.

the try. Are all of the boys did the hard work. That was just me get over

:26:44.:26:50.

the line. Now, next is James Davies. What do they call you, nobody calls

:26:51.:27:00.

you James Davies, just Cubby, why? I'm not sure, I think this was a

:27:01.:27:06.

mistake in Vegas. A mistake? I call it is moment of

:27:07.:27:12.

genius! But the journey has been incredible. Glad to be a part of it.

:27:13.:27:18.

Just brilliant. I need to have a word with Phil Burgess, not only was

:27:19.:27:23.

attack and flair and trying hugely important but your tackle on South

:27:24.:27:28.

Africa ensured Great Britain would anybody a Gold Medal match? It was

:27:29.:27:32.

something that we spoke about as a team. We wanted to be brave. Not to

:27:33.:27:38.

go out and makes a many tackles as possible but a case of going out

:27:39.:27:42.

there and making the ones that counted. If we missed a tackle it

:27:43.:27:48.

did not matter as the squad was there behind you to get the next

:27:49.:27:52.

one. So we were under pressure. I thought I'm going to go. I knew that

:27:53.:27:59.

Bibby wants hind me. He would take it from there. We got unstuck and it

:28:00.:28:05.

was good. And Marcus switched from the 15 a

:28:06.:28:11.

side game. You are straight back to autumn international with Scotland

:28:12.:28:14.

when you return? Hopefully. It has been great for me coming in. A

:28:15.:28:21.

challenge. A different game. It is tougher and puts a lot of strain on

:28:22.:28:28.

the skills. So it can only put us in a good place going back to 15s.

:28:29.:28:33.

Would you fancy doing seven again? It's been great fun. Why not.

:28:34.:28:40.

Well, a terrific place. A round of applause again for our silver medal

:28:41.:28:47.

winning rugby sevens team. And in the diving we have been celebrating

:28:48.:28:57.

golds thanks to Jack Laws and Chris Mears.

:28:58.:29:02.

What is starting there now? Well, there was no diving until 2.00pm. As

:29:03.:29:07.

you can see the pool is a very odd shade of colour. Answers on a

:29:08.:29:12.

postcard. But there is diving this afternoon. The women's three-metre

:29:13.:29:18.

prove limbs. So no answers to why the pool is

:29:19.:29:23.

green is it still green? Yes. Answers on a postcard. But no

:29:24.:29:27.

training this morning. Some teams were cross. But the ladies are about

:29:28.:29:35.

to take to the boards. 29 of them. Rebecca Gallantree and Grace Reid.

:29:36.:29:40.

The top eight make it through to the semi-final.

:29:41.:29:46.

Thank you, Sam. Now, I am looking over there, I see David Florence and

:29:47.:29:55.

Richard Hounslow, nabbed by 5 Live. Now we will reflect on rogue. As I

:29:56.:30:01.

mentioned in the headlines, a sensational success in the women's

:30:02.:30:08.

pair, Helen Glover and Heather Stanning and they did not let anyone

:30:09.:30:12.

down. We can show you that in a moment... Indeed, there we go. As we

:30:13.:30:23.

hit 1500m, the last 50 strokes in the women's pair and Glover and

:30:24.:30:26.

Stanning have dominated from the first stroke. Gone out. Hit it hard

:30:27.:30:31.

to 500. Dominated in the middle of the 1,000 metres. Now they can look

:30:32.:30:36.

back and allow a little creeping in. I hope that they are enjoying it

:30:37.:30:40.

from here in. Still a job to be done. That is the delays, the high

:30:41.:30:45.

class that they set themselves. The one thing that the New

:30:46.:30:48.

Zealanders have paid for with doubling up is the blasting from the

:30:49.:30:52.

start. Their legs will be tired. They have done many standing starts.

:30:53.:30:56.

With the rhythm they are a quick pair. But a little sprint taken them

:30:57.:31:03.

from the blocks and now challenging the USA and Denmark for the silver

:31:04.:31:08.

medal and the bronze medal. We are watching and hell yawned Heather are

:31:09.:31:12.

absolutely awe inspiring. Be inspired by the journey over the

:31:13.:31:20.

last Olympiad. Undefeated in the combination coming to 250 out. And

:31:21.:31:32.

the combination that dared to take them out, Rasmussen and they are

:31:33.:31:36.

still ahead. There is the battle for the silver

:31:37.:31:40.

medal, bringing them back slightly. But they are not going to catch the

:31:41.:31:45.

British. 100 out, the heads are still held

:31:46.:31:48.

high. They believe themselves to the line. Denmark coming hard. New

:31:49.:31:51.

Zealand are coming hard. But they are going to run out of water. So

:31:52.:31:57.

they should. They were made to pay for it in the opening 1,000 metres.

:31:58.:32:02.

Fearless! Without equal! They are history makers. Great Britain's

:32:03.:32:07.

Glover and Stanning defend their Olympic title and they have done it

:32:08.:32:12.

in such style! It's carnival time here at the Lagoa for Great Britain.

:32:13.:32:17.

Their arms go up in the air. They have shown the world that they are

:32:18.:32:21.

the very, very best in this event. History makers here again. James we

:32:22.:32:28.

have to stand and salute them. A 39th win in a row for the

:32:29.:32:35.

invincible, unbreakable pair of Helen Glover and Heather Stanning.

:32:36.:32:38.

Such a strong advert for working hard. Staying strong mentally and a

:32:39.:32:44.

partnership. That is Great Britain's fifth Gold

:32:45.:32:49.

Medal. We have since taken the total to sixth. And these guys taking a

:32:50.:32:52.

silver in the canoe slalom. Richard Hounslow and David Florence.

:32:53.:33:11.

What do you think of the Olympics this year? It has been great.

:33:12.:33:18.

Such great support. It has been really nice for us to see people

:33:19.:33:23.

supporting us. And to get up tonight podium.

:33:24.:33:26.

Richard have you had a chance to watch your race back and analyse it?

:33:27.:33:32.

I have not at all to be honest. I flicked through the BBC website. I

:33:33.:33:38.

did not watch it though, I wanted to let things settle.

:33:39.:33:42.

This is a chance to see the end of it.

:33:43.:33:46.

Apparently we were up at this point. Similar to London which was tough.

:33:47.:33:52.

But it was a great performance. Everything pretty much went to plan.

:33:53.:33:56.

Always little bits here and there that come and go. But we were happy

:33:57.:34:01.

with the performance there. It was great when we crossed the

:34:02.:34:11.

line to get into the medal position. But the Slovak guys from really

:34:12.:34:15.

great. Put on a great run. So close and tight margins again.

:34:16.:34:20.

So far for Team GB, this has been the Olympics of the water. Why is it

:34:21.:34:24.

that we are so successful with watersports? Probably depends on the

:34:25.:34:29.

sport. We are lucky to have had a fantastic training venue off the

:34:30.:34:35.

back of London 2012. That made a difference to our sport. In our

:34:36.:34:38.

sport there is a tradition of it in Britain. It is something that both

:34:39.:34:42.

of us got into through our parents. It has been a big sport in Britain

:34:43.:34:46.

for a long time, I guess. You have done a terrific job of

:34:47.:34:49.

persuading others. Many thanks. Let's see what medal we can win in

:34:50.:35:00.

the dressage. Now we have the team captain, Carl Hester, who coaches

:35:01.:35:05.

the rest of the team. How can he perform on this huge horse, Nip

:35:06.:35:10.

Tuck, who was spooky, he Spooks had any thing that might move, so

:35:11.:35:13.

important he stays calm. Let's pick it up.

:35:14.:35:19.

Mike Tucker. You could not have joined us at a more dramatic time.

:35:20.:35:27.

This is Nip Tuck and Carl Hester, number three riders for Great

:35:28.:35:34.

Britain. Just under 70% good marks as we get the average for each

:35:35.:35:40.

movement, against the current leaders, 85.5, the Germans currently

:35:41.:35:48.

looking very strong to take the gold medal away that Britain won in

:35:49.:35:52.

London. Carl Hester was an important part of that gold medal. With this

:35:53.:35:57.

young course Nip Tuck, putting it a good performance. But not quite good

:35:58.:36:04.

enough, one feels, Peter. So far, he has been very well-behaved. That is

:36:05.:36:10.

always good point. Carl Hester really bounces back. I can see he is

:36:11.:36:20.

riding determinedly and positively, in a nice way. He is just a little

:36:21.:36:25.

bit more aware, right, you cannot spook here. A little bit more

:36:26.:36:34.

pushing from behind perhaps. Super in front. Look how much on the spot

:36:35.:36:45.

he is. Could be sitting a little bit more. The judges will take into

:36:46.:36:50.

account how much he is remaining in place. Carl is a master at keeping

:36:51.:37:00.

everything looking so easy. A little bit anticipating in the transition

:37:01.:37:09.

to canter. You can see Carl making adjustments, saying come on, we have

:37:10.:37:21.

a long way to go yet. Corrections with the rein to say, stay with me.

:37:22.:37:28.

Look at the likeness of Carl's hands. Clearly positioned. A nice,

:37:29.:37:37.

fine change. All of these little bits Carl earns a lot of marks.

:37:38.:37:45.

Creeping up, creeping up to 76.5. Looking a little bit, spooking at

:37:46.:37:50.

the camera. He gets nervous of cameras. Two time changes. They have

:37:51.:38:02.

built up a wonderful partnership over the years. The horse really

:38:03.:38:14.

trusts Carl. 8.1 for the flying changes.

:38:15.:38:26.

OK. Jumping from one flying change to the other every stride in the

:38:27.:38:39.

canter. Very nicely executed. 8.3 average, the mark. Positive riding

:38:40.:38:49.

from Carl in the extended. Watching as he comes back to the flying

:38:50.:38:53.

change. There is a camera also in that corner. Very nicely executed.

:38:54.:39:08.

The canter pirouette to the left. He has to run a line of changes.

:39:09.:39:18.

Completely straight. That judge will probably not be able to see anything

:39:19.:39:24.

but the horse coming straight at him which is really nice. Britain

:39:25.:39:28.

chasing Germany. At the moment it is an uphill struggle. Carl is doing a

:39:29.:39:36.

great job. Unfortunately he just had a mistake in the last pirouette. 4.3

:39:37.:39:43.

average, that was expensive. It will be, very much in light of the team

:39:44.:39:48.

behind us. The Netherlands are moving up. The Americans were in the

:39:49.:39:52.

bronze medal position. It looks as if it will go Netherlands's way.

:39:53.:40:00.

Looking to try to get up the ladder to a gold medal but we do not want

:40:01.:40:06.

to drop back to bronze. It is the silver we are really after, is what

:40:07.:40:15.

it boils down to. The home run now. It will be disappointing for Carl.

:40:16.:40:23.

It is expensive. Needs to keep him straight in the piaffe. Very nicely

:40:24.:40:31.

on the spot. Really nice rhythm in the final into a nice square Holt.

:40:32.:40:40.

And so Carl Hester, the inspiration behind the team. He trains three of

:40:41.:40:46.

the team, as well as himself. And there was Spencer Wilton

:40:47.:40:53.

congratulating the back-up team. But now, what will the school be?

:40:54.:40:58.

-- score. They have marked Carl quite high up

:40:59.:41:15.

with the riders position, 8.9. Nobody gets good marks at the end

:41:16.:41:18.

because he makes a good job. Always has such a light contact. It

:41:19.:41:33.

is a shame about this. I think it was the spooking of the camera. It

:41:34.:41:39.

is a shame. Well, outcomes Carl Hester. 76.4. It does not get us

:41:40.:41:49.

closer to the Germans but it keeps us a little more ahead of the

:41:50.:41:54.

bronze-medallists. We can head over to Deodoro to put

:41:55.:42:08.

that in context before we see the next rider. Lee McKenzie is there.

:42:09.:42:13.

Where do you think the challenge might be coming for Silva, can

:42:14.:42:19.

Britain hang on? I think so stop we have such highly regarded Charlotte

:42:20.:42:27.

Dujardin coming up. Carl, a slight mistake in the last pirouette but in

:42:28.:42:31.

comparison to yesterday, when the horse was spooky, this was greatly

:42:32.:42:39.

improved. Next in the arena, the final rider from the USA, Laura

:42:40.:42:41.

Graves. He is Mike Tucker. She is a very talented writer and

:42:42.:43:01.

this combination of horse and rider is very nice to watch. Hopefully we

:43:02.:43:13.

will see the highlight, her half passes can look beautiful. A little

:43:14.:43:21.

bit perhaps tight in the neck today. These riders I think are feeling the

:43:22.:43:25.

pressure today. Very active. Lots of use of all his

:43:26.:43:47.

joints. Very clear and a nice transition into the extended. At the

:43:48.:43:55.

moment she has instructions from Debbie McDonald to go for it. She

:43:56.:44:01.

is, currently 81.5 against the current leader on 83, 83.20 five.

:44:02.:44:10.

The current leader is that score from Dorothee Schneider, Showtime.

:44:11.:44:19.

They have set the pattern for the Germans this afternoon, putting in

:44:20.:44:25.

brilliant performances. They are in determined mood. The Americans need

:44:26.:44:31.

a top mark here for the Americans to cling on to the bronze medal. And it

:44:32.:44:36.

will be clinging on because it is very close. She is doing a good job

:44:37.:44:50.

so far. Extensive ground covering. Extensive Trots. This horse looks

:44:51.:44:58.

like it has a really good heart, always trying for her. If they can

:44:59.:45:03.

drop Alison Brock, their first score, otherwise getting a better

:45:04.:45:12.

score them 73.2. Looking to have a score currently over that, then they

:45:13.:45:23.

have a chance. She has to keep her cool, not make a mistake and keep

:45:24.:45:27.

the level of performance up here and then the Americans will have to

:45:28.:45:33.

really fall back to cling onto that bronze medal. I wonder whether he is

:45:34.:45:39.

a little overcome by the atmosphere. She had to be very careful. I think

:45:40.:45:46.

he is quite hot today. He is a sensitive horse and really tries for

:45:47.:45:52.

her. Here we have the piaffe, which I spoke about before, how he makes a

:45:53.:45:57.

lot of active steps. It does not always give you the impression he is

:45:58.:46:04.

sitting. I like it because it is willing. Not classical enough to get

:46:05.:46:10.

really high marks. He had 7.6 average for that, and somebody gave

:46:11.:46:16.

him an eight. He stays fairly on the spot and he stays really winning. I

:46:17.:46:22.

think that is one of my more important things. The horse must be

:46:23.:46:27.

willing and it must be a harmonious picture.

:46:28.:46:33.

Good marks. 8.1. This horse can sometimes appear short in the neck

:46:34.:46:45.

which makes the judge is perhaps not quite give him the highest marks for

:46:46.:46:57.

some of his movements. That was a nice flying change and a very clear

:46:58.:47:05.

changeover. From the half pass right to the left. Good balance and good

:47:06.:47:16.

positioning from Laura. She is another one who has really lovely

:47:17.:47:17.

position. Like Kasey Perry-Glass. Really clear

:47:18.:47:31.

and nice flying changes and lovely ground cover.

:47:32.:47:43.

Laura Graves has dropped back below the 80%, 79.5. She does not want to

:47:44.:48:01.

drop back any more. It is that close. She is doing a good job.

:48:02.:48:09.

Somebody has given nines for one-time changes. Positively riding.

:48:10.:48:18.

A lovely expressive flying change back and extended canter with an

:48:19.:48:23.

average score of eight. April wet. Remember some of the top horses have

:48:24.:48:30.

made mistakes in these and sushi needs to rider carefully for -- and

:48:31.:48:42.

so she needs to ride carefully. She is moving on up there now. 8.4

:48:43.:48:53.

average. A slight loss of control at the end of the pirouette. I think

:48:54.:49:00.

the reason these horses are making a mistake there particularly is the

:49:01.:49:04.

camera is close to the arena and they are almost shying a little bit

:49:05.:49:09.

away from that. They know it is very close. The cool temperament is what

:49:10.:49:17.

is required at this stage of the test from Laura Graves. She has done

:49:18.:49:24.

it well so far, down the final line. Really nice, energetic, active,

:49:25.:49:32.

expressive. And again, on the spot. Nice rhythm. He tries so hard. He

:49:33.:49:43.

really does. And again, nice, willing. Looks like he is just

:49:44.:49:47.

starting the test and not finishing. I should not have said that! Laura

:49:48.:49:54.

Graves completes it for the Americans. We will get the final

:49:55.:50:01.

score. Certainly he has done his best. Now, hold your breath time for

:50:02.:50:06.

the Americans. Those last marks coming through. Will she get to 80%?

:50:07.:50:13.

Just below it at the moment. If she does, I think there is a chance that

:50:14.:50:17.

the Americans will sneak the bronze medal from the Dutch.

:50:18.:50:33.

You have done a terrific job of persuading others. Many thanks.

:50:34.:50:36.

Certainly some very good dressage. Look at the one-time changes. So

:50:37.:50:43.

expressive. Ground covering. This horse was really on form.

:50:44.:50:50.

Well which hadden and well performed by Verdades. No doubt. Now the

:50:51.:50:59.

marks. What have the judges given? They have given 86.30pm 4%. Is that

:51:00.:51:05.

good enough? We think it is. We think America will win the bronze.

:51:06.:51:13.

It certainly looks good enough for the United States of America taking

:51:14.:51:23.

bronze. But the next rider in the ring is Isabell Werth. She is a lady

:51:24.:51:34.

with many medals to her name. Yes, Isabell Werth. This is her

:51:35.:51:39.

fifth Olympic Games. Winning a team gold every time she has ridden. It

:51:40.:51:44.

looks highly likely she will do the same.

:51:45.:51:47.

She has already won two individual golds and two silver medal verse.

:51:48.:51:52.

She has her real test face. I know her. I know her determined test

:51:53.:51:58.

face. I have seen it for many years. She's on to it now.

:51:59.:52:05.

This little shores a lovely, willing mare.

:52:06.:52:15.

Not many mares in the sport but when they are great, they are very good.

:52:16.:52:22.

Not the most expressive of the horses we have seen today. But lots

:52:23.:52:28.

of things to like and of course very, very well ridden by Isabell.

:52:29.:52:35.

I dread to think how many greeks she has ridden in her life.

:52:36.:52:38.

Countless, countless... Look at the activity in the hind

:52:39.:52:57.

legs. Very, very nice. Extended trot. Isabell thoughtfully riding

:52:58.:53:06.

that. She increased and it is the way to do it. So many riders

:53:07.:53:13.

overpush and get the problem where the horse breaks into a canter. Good

:53:14.:53:17.

marks. Good marks for the transitions.

:53:18.:53:25.

Good marks for the pressage. Clear transition into a collected trot and

:53:26.:53:30.

into the half pass. That's a very, very nice half pass. Beautiful

:53:31.:53:35.

positioning. Light, elegant and on her feet.

:53:36.:53:41.

When you think that this time a years ago she had Don Johnson and

:53:42.:53:48.

Bellarosa, both of them incurring problems so she had to turn to the

:53:49.:53:56.

young horse, Weihgold. And only started at this level last December.

:53:57.:54:01.

But this lady is some jockey. She is very, very experienced.

:54:02.:54:11.

She's another rider that will really rise to the bait of it. As soon as

:54:12.:54:16.

there is a challenge she is there challenging.

:54:17.:54:22.

Very nice. Very active. Good use of the hocks, the hind legs.

:54:23.:54:32.

And at the moment they are on an 83. .010 current average score against

:54:33.:54:41.

the leader, Dorothee Schneider on 86. They are all performing to their

:54:42.:54:47.

personal best, the Germans. That is going to win them the Gold Medal.

:54:48.:54:53.

A nice extended walk. Good ground cover and relaxation.

:54:54.:55:02.

Into the collected walk. And the horse is light and obedient.

:55:03.:55:10.

Responsive from Isabell into the piaf.

:55:11.:55:12.

Really nice to see that. No struggling. The horse was ready and

:55:13.:55:19.

waiting. But still waiting for the aides. I have to say I really like

:55:20.:55:28.

this mare's heart. Isabell keeping her relaxed. That

:55:29.:55:32.

snorting where she is blowing her nose, that is a little bit of

:55:33.:55:36.

frustration. She wants to get on with the job. A little bit of

:55:37.:55:40.

attention. Nothing too serious but just there, telling the rider, I

:55:41.:55:48.

have to be very tactful with my aides. Obedient. Easy transition

:55:49.:55:54.

into canter, she made that look easy. 8.8.

:55:55.:56:07.

Such a cool customer, Isabell. Very nice positioning in the half

:56:08.:56:10.

pass. At the start of this Grand Prix

:56:11.:56:16.

special day, Germany had four of the top seven riders. They can only take

:56:17.:56:23.

three through to the freestyle and music, the individual championship

:56:24.:56:25.

on Monday. The individual Olympic title.

:56:26.:56:29.

I think it will be the young 21-year-old that will miss out.

:56:30.:56:38.

Sonke Rothenberger. They have all gone so well.

:56:39.:56:43.

Moving on to the two-time flying changes.

:56:44.:56:53.

It could be a little bit straighter. It is obviously aides from Isabell.

:56:54.:56:59.

OK, so when we she's doing the flying changes, you can see her legs

:57:00.:57:04.

really moving quite a lot as she is asking not so much in the one-time

:57:05.:57:09.

change but the two-time changes. There is a lot of organising with

:57:10.:57:15.

the contact in her upper body there. So she's not going to be penalised

:57:16.:57:20.

for that. Obviously the smaller, quieter aides are better.

:57:21.:57:24.

It is just that overall picture, isn't it? It is.

:57:25.:57:35.

Again, we are wanting to see riders riding with quiet Aides. Like they

:57:36.:57:44.

are almost whispering to the horse what they want them to do. You don't

:57:45.:57:50.

want to see shouting aides, where they are shouting at the horse. A

:57:51.:58:00.

really nice pirouette. Clear. One-time flying changes. 8.5

:58:01.:58:09.

for that first pirouette. 8.3 for the one-time changes.

:58:10.:58:17.

Again, very, very controlled on the way out. She was very clever with

:58:18.:58:28.

the last pirouette. The extended trot lacks pushing from

:58:29.:58:33.

behind hind and carrying. That would be the weakest, of

:58:34.:58:37.

anything in the test but still very nice.

:58:38.:58:50.

Now to the final pressage. Loose, elastic and active behind.

:58:51.:58:56.

Into a nice transition. Into the piaf.

:58:57.:59:02.

Really on the spot. As she comes up to the final line,

:59:03.:59:10.

she has currently gone ahead of the score with the leader Dorothee

:59:11.:59:19.

Schneider. This is going to be a very good day for Germany. Has it

:59:20.:59:29.

nailed the gold? They have really perform sod very well in the last

:59:30.:59:33.

session. As you can see, the fans they think

:59:34.:59:37.

they've got gold. They could be right.

:59:38.:59:43.

I think it is really interesting. She really rises to the occasion.

:59:44.:59:50.

Why she is such a top rider. So, one to go. That is Charlotte

:59:51.:00:00.

dejarredin. The brilliant Isabell Werth of

:00:01.:00:04.

Germany, looking like she has done enough to win it back for Germany.

:00:05.:00:09.
