:00:53. > :01:00.What ever happens now, I can always say I have got an Olympic medal.
:01:01. > :01:09.Great Britain will win the bronze medal. Come on, Bradley Wiggins. The
:01:10. > :01:15.winner of the bronze medals, Rob Hayles and Bradley Wiggins. And
:01:16. > :01:21.Great Britain win the silver medal, this is the one. Bradley Wiggins
:01:22. > :01:31.versus Meguid. Bradley Wiggins wins the gold medal. The British quartet
:01:32. > :01:37.are the Olympic champions. Bradley Wiggins is the gold medal winner and
:01:38. > :01:47.Olympic champion. It is golden gold for Bradley Wiggins. CLARE BALDING:
:01:48. > :01:51.From his first gold medal in 2004, could we be witnessing his fifth
:01:52. > :01:56.tonight? Bradley Wiggins is part of the men's team pursuit four he will
:01:57. > :02:05.be racing for a gold medal between now and 11 p.m.. Expect it to be
:02:06. > :02:14.roundabout at 11:50 p.m.. They are running a bit late in the velodrome.
:02:15. > :02:20.It will be Great Britain against Australia for a gold medal. We will
:02:21. > :02:29.be looking at the rowing highlights. Helen Glover and Helen standing went
:02:30. > :02:32.for gold along with the men's four. We will show the highlights from
:02:33. > :02:45.this morning's action in the heptathlon.
:02:46. > :02:55.Greg Rutherford starts his defence of the long jump. I have alongside
:02:56. > :03:01.me Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Chris Hoy, both hugely excited about what
:03:02. > :03:04.Bradley Wiggins has ahead of him. You understand the team nature of
:03:05. > :03:10.the men's pursuit and the flow they will have to get into almost
:03:11. > :03:14.immediately to beat Australia. Absolutely, it is like a well oiled
:03:15. > :03:18.chain and they do their individual job, but as a unit they look so
:03:19. > :03:23.smooth. The second round when they got the world record they did not
:03:24. > :03:28.look like they were stressed. In other teams there were gaps
:03:29. > :03:32.appearing and there was pressure. The GB lads just look so confident
:03:33. > :03:38.and compose, we are keeping our fingers crossed they can do it
:03:39. > :03:45.again. I reckon they can go faster, 3.48. You know what it is to come
:03:46. > :03:52.back in the Olympics and maintain the level. You are here as a fan to
:03:53. > :04:01.cheer them on. Chris went along to talk to Bradley in the build-up to
:04:02. > :04:09.the Olympics. Are you all right? You are looking good. I might carry on.
:04:10. > :04:17.Bradley Wiggins is the Olympic champion. In 1985 I remember
:04:18. > :04:21.watching you hear, a typical teenager, quite frankly with long
:04:22. > :04:28.arms and long legs and quite awkward. You got on a bike and
:04:29. > :04:33.everybody said, this kid is going somewhere. Did you think you would
:04:34. > :04:38.achieve all this? It is easy to back and say, I always knew I would, but
:04:39. > :04:43.I had no other thought process at that time and this is what I want to
:04:44. > :04:46.do. I want to go to the Tour de France and wear the yellow jersey
:04:47. > :04:53.and I want to win an Olympic gold and I want to be a pro cyclist. I
:04:54. > :04:56.was either completely stupid or something. Fortunately, I have
:04:57. > :05:03.already done all this. I do not know what my mother was thinking and stop
:05:04. > :05:09.what was your first Olympics like? It was mind blowing, even today I
:05:10. > :05:15.get goose bumps thinking about it. I can remember thinking, that is it, I
:05:16. > :05:19.am 20 and I have got an Olympic medal and whatever happens now for
:05:20. > :05:23.the rest of my life I can always say I have got an Olympic medal. I
:05:24. > :05:29.remember thinking, I know what I want to do in the next four years.
:05:30. > :05:35.Bradley Wiggins will be the 4000 metres Olympic champion. The tears
:05:36. > :05:41.come and everything and I have not cried since then at a track cycling
:05:42. > :05:50.competition. You only get one shot every four years to do it and that
:05:51. > :06:00.is what is special about it. In Beijing, what happened there? We
:06:01. > :06:03.went there and we won a gold and we went home and we chucked it in the
:06:04. > :06:07.draw. Then it was the team pursued and another gold and we were back
:06:08. > :06:13.and you chucked in the draw and the next day it was the Madison and we
:06:14. > :06:23.lost it. How could you not be elated with two gold medals? Because you
:06:24. > :06:27.got three. And what about the time trial in London? All year I had not
:06:28. > :06:31.given any thought to the Olympic Games. I thought I would sacrifice
:06:32. > :06:36.the Olympics because I wanted to win the Tour de France. Ten days later I
:06:37. > :06:42.knew I had to execute the ride I had done for the last three weeks on the
:06:43. > :06:47.tour. Here comes Bradley Wiggins, the winner of the Tour de France. I
:06:48. > :06:55.said at the time, it will never get any better than this. Dave was
:06:56. > :07:02.behind me saying, calm down, it will not get any better. Could you enjoy
:07:03. > :07:08.it afterwards, or was it to manic in the first few days? No, I enjoyed
:07:09. > :07:12.it. That first week after I had bodyguards, the Met police followed
:07:13. > :07:17.me around. I had a chauffeured car that was there all week for me. I
:07:18. > :07:22.didn't have bodyguards. I was hanging out with rock stars, and
:07:23. > :07:27.then it, I better go home and get on with things. I wanted it all to
:07:28. > :07:32.stop. But I realised you could not turn it off like a switch and
:07:33. > :07:37.subsequently I had a dip that summer. I always wanted to come back
:07:38. > :07:42.to the track. Do you still have the same confidence you had after the
:07:43. > :07:47.World Championships in London when you said you would bet your house on
:07:48. > :07:51.it? Yes, I believe in the group and I believe in what the guys are
:07:52. > :07:56.doing. I cannot see anyone else in the world who can beat my team of
:07:57. > :08:01.guys. How much of a motivation is the thought of becoming the most
:08:02. > :08:05.decorated Olympian? Is not so much that, that has never been a
:08:06. > :08:14.motivation. I always thought five times Olympic champion is a nice
:08:15. > :08:21.number. Now six. And the target is the thing for Sir Bradley Wiggins.
:08:22. > :08:26.From his first Olympics in 2000 coming here he is 16 years later at
:08:27. > :08:32.the age of 36 trying to win the team pursuit gold medal. Owain Doull is
:08:33. > :08:38.in his first Olympics. Steven Burke was part of the four who won it in
:08:39. > :08:46.London. He is there along with Ed Clancy. Bradley Wiggins is such a
:08:47. > :08:52.personality, a cool dude, but he is an unbelievably effective sportsmen.
:08:53. > :08:55.He is, having brought him into the team, not from a team pursuit
:08:56. > :09:01.perspective, but for the whole team it has been a masterstroke to have a
:09:02. > :09:08.guy with his status and leadership quality. Everybody has used him to
:09:09. > :09:12.shoulder a lot of the pressure leading up to the games and he has
:09:13. > :09:18.been perfect. It has gone as well as anybody could have hoped. In terms
:09:19. > :09:28.of sporting moments, IU geed up for this one? Very much so. This was the
:09:29. > :09:31.moment I wanted to be at. I could not see any other Olympics, this is
:09:32. > :09:38.where I wanted to be. I was in Beijing when they broke the world
:09:39. > :09:43.record there. Hopefully to see it being beaten for the third time live
:09:44. > :09:50.would be amazing, for Bradley especially. I admire him so much.
:09:51. > :09:56.His coolness, the way he conducts himself, he is a one-off. Stephen
:09:57. > :10:01.Burke has gone off to the left. Owain Doull is sitting down next to
:10:02. > :10:06.Bradley and Ed Clancy is on the right. In terms of what they are
:10:07. > :10:10.looking for once they start racing, the timing, the rhythm, the move
:10:11. > :10:14.from the leader to comeback round and joy at the back of the line, it
:10:15. > :10:20.has to be precise. It is all about efficiency. The team will know how
:10:21. > :10:26.many laps they are going to do and it is about doing that job to the
:10:27. > :10:27.best of their ability. This is the bronze medal race between Denmark
:10:28. > :10:56.and New Zealand. New Zealand consist of Dylan
:10:57. > :11:05.Kennett, Regan Gough, Aaron Gate and Pieter Bulling. And Hayden Woolston.
:11:06. > :11:12.Denmark are in the red and white and they have made one change.
:11:13. > :11:22.It is so close between these two teams. It is going to be very close.
:11:23. > :11:32.Leading on for Denmark at the moment is Frederick Madsen. Nice, neat
:11:33. > :11:35.style. This is a good event to watch, aesthetically pleasing when
:11:36. > :11:41.it is down and it is at its best when ride perfectly executed. New
:11:42. > :11:46.Zealand looking a little bit ragged, but that is because they are keen to
:11:47. > :11:50.get this off the blocks. They have got work to do. They are over a
:11:51. > :11:59.second in arrears. A surprise start from them. The Danes trying to put
:12:00. > :12:10.some pressure on. On the front is Reagan Gough for New Zealand. The
:12:11. > :12:14.first element is very quick. But the New Zealanders have got into their
:12:15. > :12:18.stride now and they are starting to hold their own, but they gave away
:12:19. > :12:25.1.5 of a second before they found their feet. This is a very well
:12:26. > :12:32.drilled Danish outfit who have been on and around the podium in recent
:12:33. > :12:36.seasons. They have got a couple of good young riders, teenagers, in
:12:37. > :12:42.their squad as well. It is a remarkable start. Denmark are doing
:12:43. > :12:48.an amazing ride. New Zealand are not out of it by any means, holding it a
:12:49. > :12:59.second and a half back, but that is about ten metres. You can see the
:13:00. > :13:05.pressure on the riders' faces. At the moment it is Denmark making the
:13:06. > :13:11.running. Pieter Bulling is on the front for New Zealand. I feel sure
:13:12. > :13:16.it is going to come down to the final kilometre, who can hold it
:13:17. > :13:22.together all the way to the line. Denmark have some problems, that was
:13:23. > :13:27.a poor change. The longer you can keep your four, provided they are
:13:28. > :13:32.strong, the better it is. And Denmark are already down to three.
:13:33. > :13:38.That could be the final nail in the coffin. They are ahead, they have
:13:39. > :13:44.got a significant lead, but New Zealand have got four. Perhaps
:13:45. > :13:50.renewed hope as Hanson rides on the front for the Danes, dragging the
:13:51. > :14:00.New Zealand squad around is Aaron Gate. They are also down to three.
:14:01. > :14:07.They are not making inroads on the Danes now. Three against three, they
:14:08. > :14:12.have to stick together. The time is taken on the third rider to cross
:14:13. > :14:17.the line. The Danes are extending their lead. They got quickly into
:14:18. > :14:24.command in this event and they have not let go. This is the race for
:14:25. > :14:29.bronze we were expecting to see. We thought it would be a close matchup,
:14:30. > :14:35.but Denmark asserted their authority early and they have never let go.
:14:36. > :14:44.They have had a stranglehold all the way through. The bronze medal is
:14:45. > :14:49.half a lap away for the Danish team. They have got such an advantage they
:14:50. > :14:59.can afford to make mistakes. And they have taken the bronze medal.
:15:00. > :15:05.They've taken the bronze medal for Denmark in the men's team pursuit,
:15:06. > :15:11.leaving New Zealand hanging their heads in disappointment. Two tenths
:15:12. > :15:15.of a second slower than their previous ride. They've backed up
:15:16. > :15:18.beautifully. That is often what this event is about. It's not just about
:15:19. > :15:25.going quick, you have to be able to do it again and again and produce
:15:26. > :15:28.when it counts in the final. As Denmark celebrate their bronze medal
:15:29. > :15:33.and we look at some of the highlights of that bronze medal
:15:34. > :15:37.winning ride, thoughts turn towards the big one, the race for gold, one
:15:38. > :15:41.of the big events of the Olympic Games from the British point of
:15:42. > :15:47.view. Sir Bradley Wiggins with Ed Clancy, Steven Burke and Owain
:15:48. > :15:58.Doull, against the old folk in Australia. Here they come now. --
:15:59. > :16:02.the old Dubai. This is what all the training, all the hard work will
:16:03. > :16:06.come down too. Less than four minutes on the track. It's a
:16:07. > :16:11.difficult condition to be in. They've been in commanding form in
:16:12. > :16:16.this event. Bradley Wiggins able to do those two lap turns early on to
:16:17. > :16:22.give the team the rest they need. Little bit of a glitch, his wheel
:16:23. > :16:29.got away from him. I think it's going to be close early on. .7 of a
:16:30. > :16:35.second between these teams after the first kilometre. Michael Hepburn,
:16:36. > :16:44.multiple world champion coming back into the Australian line-up having
:16:45. > :16:49.sat out the last line-up. The British have foregone having a fifth
:16:50. > :16:55.man. They've looked so strong I'm not sure they need him, Mark
:16:56. > :16:59.Cavendish. The men's team pursuit. Plenty of support for these four.
:17:00. > :17:04.There is Ed Clancy. He's been there and done it before, plenty of
:17:05. > :17:08.experience in the British quartet. Twice already Olympic champion in
:17:09. > :17:11.this event. Can Great Britain make it a hat-trick? They were beaten by
:17:12. > :17:21.Australia in the World Championship final a few months ago. Clancy is
:17:22. > :17:26.the best starter in the world. The race for gold under way. 16 laps of
:17:27. > :17:32.the track. Australia against Great Britain. Australia world champions.
:17:33. > :17:35.Some gaps forming already in the Australian team. They are usually
:17:36. > :17:38.the fastest starters but they haven't been in this competition,
:17:39. > :17:41.Britain have been getting their nose in front from the girl and I think
:17:42. > :17:46.they are going to do that again. Maybe not, in fact. Britain were
:17:47. > :17:50.trying to put pressure on early. Strong start from Alex Edmondson on
:17:51. > :17:55.behalf of Australia. Taking over is Jack Bobridge. The National Road
:17:56. > :17:58.race champion with lots of experience. Steven Burke on the
:17:59. > :18:02.front for Great Britain. Owain Doull, the Welshman waiting to do
:18:03. > :18:06.his turn. The first sighting of Bradley Wiggins in this final. He's
:18:07. > :18:11.not doing a long-term for his first, that is wise, he paid for it in the
:18:12. > :18:17.qualifying round. A slight wobble from Ed Clancy at the start, it cost
:18:18. > :18:21.them. Back on terms now. Owain Doull on the front. Excellent addition to
:18:22. > :18:25.the squad over the last couple of years. They are a little bit behind
:18:26. > :18:30.at the moment, but not panicking, just 0.3 of a second. Its world
:18:31. > :18:36.record pace they are going after. A long way to go, quarter distance for
:18:37. > :18:40.these teams in this Olympic final. Australia leading the way, the gap
:18:41. > :18:43.has gone up in Australia trying to put the Brits under pressure. The
:18:44. > :18:48.change of man has made all the difference for the Australians,
:18:49. > :18:53.they've brought in some fresh legs and it's given them confidence.
:18:54. > :18:57.They've gone out very strongly. Still 0.6 of the second, Great
:18:58. > :19:02.Britain with work to do here. It's Wiggins riding on the front with Ed
:19:03. > :19:07.Clancy right behind him. Wiggins dragging the team around here. It's
:19:08. > :19:11.going to go down to the wire, the gap going out slightly, 0.6 of the
:19:12. > :19:16.second, they'll have to do something special. Britain against Australia,
:19:17. > :19:22.an two wheels it always goes down to the wire. A real nailbiter between
:19:23. > :19:25.these two. At the halfway mark its nearly seven tenths of a second and
:19:26. > :19:28.Australia in the box seat, look at the determination on their faces.
:19:29. > :19:36.Both teams are well under world-record pace, one minute one in
:19:37. > :19:43.the first kilometre is, we've never seen the likes of this. The role
:19:44. > :19:50.goes up inside the velodrome, it really is on the wire between these
:19:51. > :19:56.two. -- the roar goes up. Six laps to glory. Australia down to three
:19:57. > :19:59.already, Britain staying as four. 0.1 of a second behind, the British
:20:00. > :20:02.travelling faster than the Australians. They've got the
:20:03. > :20:06.momentum. Britain trying to keep momentum going into the closing
:20:07. > :20:10.stages of the race. Australia suddenly the team being put under
:20:11. > :20:15.pressure here. Britain staying strong, looking neat, tight. There
:20:16. > :20:20.is a gap in the Australian three. It could be fatal at this point. Almost
:20:21. > :20:25.dead level. Australia looking ragged here, they are down to three. They
:20:26. > :20:30.are on the limit, it's tough for them as Great Britain pile it on,
:20:31. > :20:37.Wiggins riding on the front, Wiggins has handed over to Ed Clancy, the
:20:38. > :20:41.four of them still looking good. Still riding strongly. They are in
:20:42. > :20:49.frontier. Hundredths of a second between the teams. At last... Down
:20:50. > :20:53.to three, they are in the lead. Down to three, in the lead, only just.
:20:54. > :20:59.It's nail-biting stuff. It's going to go right down to the wire. There
:21:00. > :21:03.is a gap in the British line-up. It's coming down to the last lap.
:21:04. > :21:07.Who's got that little bit extra in the legs, who can find the
:21:08. > :21:11.difference? Making a move to take them over the line in first place,
:21:12. > :21:15.will it be Britain, will it be Australia? It certainly will be
:21:16. > :21:23.Great Britain and it will be written in a world record time! The awesome
:21:24. > :21:29.foursome have done it! For the third Olympic Games in a row. What a
:21:30. > :21:34.moment. Ed Clancy now three-time Olympic champion. Steven Burke,
:21:35. > :21:40.Owain Doull, and Sir Bradley Wiggins. An unprecedented eighth
:21:41. > :21:45.medal for him. He becomes the most decorated British Olympic athlete of
:21:46. > :21:50.all time! What a special moment. What a close final. What a tense
:21:51. > :21:53.final. And a glorious outcome for Great Britain. He had to work for
:21:54. > :21:57.it, we didn't expect that kind of fight from the Australians, we
:21:58. > :22:01.haven't seen it, until the final. Their reputation says they can
:22:02. > :22:04.produce rides like that, they produced it at the perfect moment.
:22:05. > :22:11.The British team had to give everything, break the world record
:22:12. > :22:15.again to take the title. A special moment, and special final. They are
:22:16. > :22:20.always titanic battles between Great Britain and Australia on the track.
:22:21. > :22:24.I didn't enjoy that, I have to say. It was really tough, a tough watch
:22:25. > :22:28.the first half of the race. Australia took it to Great Britain
:22:29. > :22:32.and they got an early advantage, but the British riders kept their nerve
:22:33. > :22:37.and more importantly had enough in reserve, enough strength to come
:22:38. > :22:41.through at the end. Just about. Both teams on their absolute limits. It's
:22:42. > :22:46.great to see. Made fantastic television. It wasn't the easiest
:22:47. > :22:51.bit of commentary, we weren't expecting it to be that close. We
:22:52. > :22:54.expected some competition. To leave it that late before getting your
:22:55. > :22:58.nose in front. It makes it all the sweeter. There is the confirmation,
:22:59. > :23:04.Great Britain Olympic champions once again. Sir Bradley Wiggins, it was
:23:05. > :23:09.focused on this above everything else for a long, long time, wins an
:23:10. > :23:15.Olympic gold for the fifth time in his career. He has won medals at
:23:16. > :23:19.five different Olympic Games. Only the fourth British athlete to do
:23:20. > :23:24.that. An unprecedented eighth individual medal.
:23:25. > :23:33.Right from the start... The Australians were holding something
:23:34. > :23:38.back, the fastest start by far they have done, still nearly half a
:23:39. > :23:41.second immediately, it took the entire race for the British team to
:23:42. > :23:44.recover. Wiggins said after being beaten in the World Championship
:23:45. > :23:50.final, don't worry, you can bet your house on it, on us, this summer.
:23:51. > :23:54.That best looked worrying for a while. The odds will have changed in
:23:55. > :24:00.the middle of the ride. It took a world record to do it, these four
:24:01. > :24:02.very special riders delivered when it mattered most. They are the
:24:03. > :24:12.Olympic champions. Scenes of wild celebration amongst
:24:13. > :24:16.the coaching team, and for this team it is such a success, the four of
:24:17. > :24:21.them combining brilliantly well together, for Ed Clancy and Steven
:24:22. > :24:26.Burke and Owain Doull, and Bradley Wiggins. Their moment, their glory.
:24:27. > :24:31.Chris Boardman and Simon Brotherton said, fabulous commentary, it was
:24:32. > :24:35.tense. Their race Brad, I'm sure he will talk to jail soon. Chris Hoy is
:24:36. > :24:38.in the zone. You were close to all of it, what were you going through
:24:39. > :24:44.watching, where you always confident? I was confident before
:24:45. > :24:47.the start, then as it got towards the end initially we thought the
:24:48. > :24:53.Australians were going out hard to unsettle the GB team. They held on
:24:54. > :24:58.remarkably. With a lap and a half to go, when the gap opened, here we go,
:24:59. > :25:02.coming down. I'll pass the microphone to Jill, we've got Ed
:25:03. > :25:07.Clancy... He's not coming down yet. It was anything other than assured
:25:08. > :25:11.until the last possible second, a real nailbiter, classic battle
:25:12. > :25:15.between the Australians and Great Britain, fantastic to witness it, to
:25:16. > :25:18.be here, goose bumps, incredible. Everybody talking about Bradley but
:25:19. > :25:24.you have to congratulate the whole team. Brad is very sporting in his
:25:25. > :25:27.reaction, going to commiserate with the Australians and congratulate
:25:28. > :25:32.them for providing such strong opposition, for making it such a
:25:33. > :25:35.race, they've broken the world record, Great Britain. To confirm,
:25:36. > :25:40.for Bradley Wiggins that makes it five Olympic gold medals, eight in
:25:41. > :25:44.total, which is a new record for British athletes. Here is Jill.
:25:45. > :25:51.Congratulations, we can see on your face is what this means. I'll let
:25:52. > :25:54.Chris congratulate Ed Clancy. Three-time Olympic champion, how
:25:55. > :26:02.precious is this one? It's the best of them all. Truth be told, we've
:26:03. > :26:07.had a bad deal between London and now, had some big downs. Crossing
:26:08. > :26:13.the line, a second ahead of the Aussies, made every single training
:26:14. > :26:17.session worthwhile. Given where you started the year it must be very
:26:18. > :26:22.special indeed for you? Yeah, we've been through the mill a bit, you are
:26:23. > :26:27.one of the first people to see me after the finish it was Phil Burton,
:26:28. > :26:31.the doctor. -- at one of the first people. And Hannah. The medical
:26:32. > :26:34.team. They put about a thousand man-hours into my back to get me
:26:35. > :26:41.where I am now, can't thank them enough. Owain, your first Olympics,
:26:42. > :26:45.you are a champion, took a world record to win it. It's surreal, so
:26:46. > :26:49.surreal, it feels like we've been in situations where it's been so close
:26:50. > :26:53.and we've lost. The last few world champs especially, to pull it off
:26:54. > :26:58.now is unbelievable, yeah. Great celebrations. Steven Burke won
:26:59. > :27:04.another gold medal here, how special has it been to be part of the team?
:27:05. > :27:10.It's extra special because I really wanted to defend the title, really.
:27:11. > :27:14.We've had so many highs and lows but it's come together at the right time
:27:15. > :27:21.and I'm super happy, three-time winner, Doull first games, first
:27:22. > :27:26.gold, Brad with the complete career, it's been awesome. Can I have a
:27:27. > :27:29.quick word? Congratulations, gold number five, people will want to
:27:30. > :27:33.reflect on your own performance but this has been an amazing team
:27:34. > :27:40.effort. There we go. A very special moment. I think we need... Listen,
:27:41. > :27:47.Bradley, how proud are you of the team? It's hard to come off now, two
:27:48. > :27:54.minutes ago, not spelt a load of cliches and emotional stuff, you
:27:55. > :27:58.know. The last 12 months we've done everything together, training camps
:27:59. > :28:02.at altitude, early morning starts at the track, late finishes at the
:28:03. > :28:09.track before Christmas Day. All this, you know? We're here, done it.
:28:10. > :28:15.It's these four guys here, I would never have come back if we didn't
:28:16. > :28:18.have the calibre, I always said that aired and the butter of the most
:28:19. > :28:21.underrated athlete I've ever raced with, so talented at what they do
:28:22. > :28:27.and they don't get credit because they are not great Road stars. Then
:28:28. > :28:33.someone like Doull here who reminds me... He can do anything in the
:28:34. > :28:38.sport, nothing fazes him. With guys like that on the line, it makes your
:28:39. > :28:42.job easier, in some ways I realised what we were going into, it adds
:28:43. > :28:46.nerves to it. These guys bouncing off the ceiling all afternoon in the
:28:47. > :28:50.apartment. I kept it all in check, went through the process of one step
:28:51. > :28:54.at a time, not thinking about the gold. It's hard when your team-mates
:28:55. > :29:01.are winning gold in front of you. Phil Hinds is running around all
:29:02. > :29:09.day... Have you seen my medal? Like, leave me... ! Fantastic, Jill,
:29:10. > :29:15.fantastic. We'll get a quick shot of the three of you together, 16 medals
:29:16. > :29:18.between you. You should be in the middle, Bradley. We'll take you off
:29:19. > :29:24.for your medal ceremony, thank you very much indeed.
:29:25. > :29:31.Make no mistake, for all the humour and the mimicry, because he's a very
:29:32. > :29:37.good mimic, Bradley Wiggins, that matters so much to him. It means so
:29:38. > :29:41.much to him. Chris Hoy gave him a bit of a hug, did you manage to say
:29:42. > :29:44.anything to him, to any of the team? I can't remember, I was getting
:29:45. > :29:49.caught up in the emotion. He was more calm than I was. It's just, you
:29:50. > :29:54.see all the emotion coming out now. They've clearly had... They've been
:29:55. > :29:58.keeping it under wraps until now, it meant so much them. It was a battle
:29:59. > :30:01.to be that close with a lap and a half to go. Phenomenal. And just,
:30:02. > :30:14.yeah, it's wonderful. It is a privilege to be here. They
:30:15. > :30:23.were saying the Aussies would blow wide open, they did not, they stayed
:30:24. > :30:32.there. Hats off to the Aussies, they just stayed there. It is an honour
:30:33. > :30:36.to be here. Bradley with his wife, they got married in 2004 and they
:30:37. > :30:42.have got two children and when you think how much the family have had
:30:43. > :30:45.to give over the 16 years that Sir Bradley Wiggins has been winning
:30:46. > :30:54.Olympic medals, this is number eight. Whatever happens now I can
:30:55. > :31:03.always say I have got a gold medal. Great Britain will win the bronze
:31:04. > :31:08.medal. Come on, Bradley. The winner of the bronze medals, Rob Hayles and
:31:09. > :31:13.Bradley Wiggins from Great Britain. And Great Britain win the silver
:31:14. > :31:20.medal. This is the one. We games versus niggly. Bradley Wiggins wins
:31:21. > :31:27.the gold medal. The British quartet Ivy Olympic champions Bradley
:31:28. > :31:41.Wiggins is the gold medal winner and Olympic champion. It is golden gold
:31:42. > :31:50.for Bradley Wiggins. CLARE BALDING: What a record, what
:31:51. > :32:00.an athlete what a night of cycling. Across the whole day we will be
:32:01. > :32:18.reflecting. Here is what is coming up. Britain had high hopes of a Rio
:32:19. > :32:22.rowing gold rush at logo. Great Britain's dressage where the
:32:23. > :32:27.defending champions and they were also going for glory led by
:32:28. > :32:35.Charlotte dude riding on the wonderful the lead growth. Britain's
:32:36. > :32:38.multitalented multi-eventers, the defending champion Jessica
:32:39. > :32:45.Ennis-Hill and Katarina Johnson Thomson began their heptathlon
:32:46. > :32:50.campaign. The sailing stars attempted to rule the waves, not
:32:51. > :32:57.much wind this morning, but it picked up this afternoon and this
:32:58. > :33:06.evening. And Sir Bradley Wiggins was attempting to make it a night to
:33:07. > :33:10.remember in the velodrome. So, first, we are heading to the water
:33:11. > :33:14.with a group of men and women who have over the last four years and
:33:15. > :33:41.more pushed their bodies to the very limit.
:33:42. > :33:47.And because I have so many guests I needed a bigger studio this evening
:33:48. > :33:53.and because they have got their gold medals around their neck, it might
:33:54. > :33:58.give you a clue what happened on the lake, but going into the race today,
:33:59. > :34:10.both the men's four and the women's pair with a hot favourite and they
:34:11. > :34:15.delivered. This is how they did it. Helen Glover and Heather Stanning
:34:16. > :34:20.are just one big race from defending their 2012 Olympic gold medal. This
:34:21. > :34:26.is the Olympic final, these are the days that they live for.
:34:27. > :34:36.Fingers crossed, they are away. Good luck, Helen, good luck, Heather.
:34:37. > :34:44.This is where the British crew will pound it, they will go out hard,
:34:45. > :34:47.they will go out strong. They are taking control of the race in the
:34:48. > :34:54.same way they have throughout this Olympics. They keep searching for
:34:55. > :34:58.improvement and that is why they are the champions. They keep moving the
:34:59. > :35:05.bar on, even though they are already at the top. A quarter of the race
:35:06. > :35:18.gone, this has been a sensational first 500 for Helen and Heather. We
:35:19. > :35:28.had a push there and that has opened up Clearwater. This is an imperious
:35:29. > :35:31.display. The last 50 strokes in the final and Great Britain have
:35:32. > :35:43.dominated right from the first stroke. Watching them is awe
:35:44. > :35:50.inspiring. We have been inspired by their journey over the last
:35:51. > :35:57.Olympiad. They are 250 out. The one crew that has dared to take them on
:35:58. > :36:02.Israel's Musson and Anderson. But they are allowing ahead and there is
:36:03. > :36:11.Clearwater. Denmark and New Zealand are fighting for the silver medal.
:36:12. > :36:15.Their heads are still held high. Denmark is coming hard and New
:36:16. > :36:24.Zealand are coming hard, but they are going to run out of water. They
:36:25. > :36:32.are fearless, they are without equal, they are history makers.
:36:33. > :36:41.Great Britain's Helens Downing and Heather Glover defend their gold
:36:42. > :36:45.medal. It is Carnival time for Great Britain and they have shown the
:36:46. > :36:54.world they are the very best in this event. History makers here again.
:36:55. > :37:04.Can you compare it to four years ago? It means so much more. We have
:37:05. > :37:10.had an awful lot of pressure, but we have been talking it down. I am not
:37:11. > :37:15.emotional, but this means so much to us. I know the home games are
:37:16. > :37:28.special, but this is like defending a title. Steve, how was that
:37:29. > :37:34.performance? You should be known as Mr Glover? It was extraordinary, it
:37:35. > :37:38.was exactly what we hoped for, they were so strong and they held it
:37:39. > :37:42.during the entire race. Seeing them come in towards the end was the most
:37:43. > :37:47.emotional thing I have ever seen in my life. And you get box seats to
:37:48. > :37:53.watch the national anthem and their medal ceremony. I know and I am
:37:54. > :37:55.going to cry like a baby as I have been doing for the last three
:37:56. > :38:15.minutes. We did it in Sydney, Athens, Beijing
:38:16. > :38:27.and then London. Can be fired in a row in the men's coxless four? And
:38:28. > :38:33.they ease off onto the second and the third and it is a sharp start
:38:34. > :38:43.from the British crew. And look at the rate of the Italians. They go
:38:44. > :38:48.out hard and fast. You do not want to get into a dogfight between us
:38:49. > :38:57.and Australia, but also they do not want to go out too hard. In laying
:38:58. > :39:02.four Australia are moving better. 38 strokes and it is pretty high.
:39:03. > :39:08.Australia are 37. But they want to make sure each one of those strokes
:39:09. > :39:11.is efficient. There is not much in it between Great Britain and
:39:12. > :39:20.Australia, but they have both opened up Clearwater. This is a territory
:39:21. > :39:23.that they know, all the miles they have done, the training on the
:39:24. > :39:32.rowing machines, the weights. This is what they rely on here. Sorry to
:39:33. > :39:36.interrupt, they are relaxed and none of their heads are flicking to the
:39:37. > :39:45.left, they are focused on what they are doing. Go on, Team GB! This is
:39:46. > :39:52.what they have trained for, this is their 500 metres of paint and they
:39:53. > :40:02.will enjoy it. That is what I would be enjoying and taking to the
:40:03. > :40:11.Australians now. GB, GB! They are now 25 strokes from the line.
:40:12. > :40:18.Australia are throwing absolutely everything at it. The British heads
:40:19. > :40:26.are up. They are still focused, incredible discipline and power.
:40:27. > :40:31.That is what you need to win a race. Back up to three quarters, 100 out
:40:32. > :40:35.from it, they have done enough and they can allow themselves to think
:40:36. > :40:40.they have done enough. It is going to be five in a row for Great
:40:41. > :40:45.Britain. The British have come under pressure at the halfway mark and
:40:46. > :40:49.they have responded and they are the Olympic champions. They have done it
:40:50. > :41:06.in style again, but that is exactly what we expected. It was never in
:41:07. > :41:10.doubt. They dominated, they were confident, they were not looking at
:41:11. > :41:16.the boat. An absolute credit to the way they have trained and prepared
:41:17. > :41:20.for this. We just nailed that, that was our perfect race. We did it
:41:21. > :41:27.right, at the right time on the right day and these boys, I mean,
:41:28. > :41:32.good lads. Five in a row, how fantastic is that? You do not count
:41:33. > :41:43.the ones in the past, you look to the next ones, it was a fantastic
:41:44. > :41:48.race. Really great. They must be really feel, they wanted this more
:41:49. > :41:52.than anything. You do not dare talk about winning medals when you are at
:41:53. > :42:00.this stage, you just know they want them. I would never talk about,
:42:01. > :42:06.bring back the gold. And now you are in this funny post race, it is over
:42:07. > :42:13.they have one moment? No, it is time for a drink. What is interesting is
:42:14. > :42:17.you do not mind watching your races, but you are worried what you're
:42:18. > :42:23.friends and family might have been doing. Parents are the best
:42:24. > :42:28.supporters in the world. But watching your mum say I need a drink
:42:29. > :42:33.online telly, she did the same thing at the last Olympics. She has got
:42:34. > :42:38.some form. It is what you put them through. I want to take you back to
:42:39. > :42:45.the start of the races. I have read articles and heard interviews from
:42:46. > :42:49.you, and after the race you spoke about thinking of people back home
:42:50. > :42:55.and the good wishes they have said. The start line is a really lonely
:42:56. > :42:59.place, even if you are sat inches apart from your team-mates, you are
:43:00. > :43:05.alone out there really. That is when your brain starts to wonder. I was
:43:06. > :43:09.thinking every time we go out we have spoken about the final and what
:43:10. > :43:14.we want we have analysed for four years in every session and that is a
:43:15. > :43:19.hell of a lot of pressure to put on yourself. To counteract that I
:43:20. > :43:24.remember thinking so many people have sent in messages and for the
:43:25. > :43:29.last four years we have been supported by our team and from
:43:30. > :43:32.people who, since London, were inspired by the Olympics and it
:43:33. > :43:42.makes the start line are less lonely place. Did you say anything to each
:43:43. > :43:47.other? It was practical, we were talking about the wind and the race.
:43:48. > :43:52.Yes, we were talking about the wind and by the town we got there it was
:43:53. > :43:59.totally different. You sometimes wish you were a duck when you are
:44:00. > :44:05.about to start, is that right? Your mind plays ridiculous tricks on you.
:44:06. > :44:12.It has been for the last week since our heat you think the worst things.
:44:13. > :44:15.I imagine my aura is breaking, all these things go through your mind
:44:16. > :44:18.and I am sitting there and getting ready to raise and I wish I was
:44:19. > :44:29.somewhere else doing something different and often their there are
:44:30. > :44:34.ducks around and my mind goes. As soon as the race starts, that
:44:35. > :44:39.feeling goes? As soon as the umpire says attention, if you cannot switch
:44:40. > :44:46.into the job at hand, you forget about being a duck for a bit. In the
:44:47. > :44:51.race in the moment all those nerves dissipate and you just focus on
:44:52. > :44:55.beating the other crews and having a look around and seeing where you are
:44:56. > :45:02.and what you need to do to get ahead. You would look around? It is
:45:03. > :45:06.my role to look around, he often has a peak every now and then. But you
:45:07. > :45:14.have got to make sure that the race does not slip you by. The crews can
:45:15. > :45:20.go hustling up, and if you do not respond to that, you pay the price.
:45:21. > :45:23.It is my job to look around and make the calls. Today we had the best
:45:24. > :45:29.view of the Australians, next to us, and the rest of the crews. If I jump
:45:30. > :45:33.in at any point it is because we are going to go to the velodrome for the
:45:34. > :45:48.medal ceremony which will be taking place very shortly.
:45:49. > :46:00.The physical pain? It's good that your team-mates last! Well, I'm
:46:01. > :46:04.asthmatic. It's always, I almost always have it under control when
:46:05. > :46:08.I'm racing, but it kicks in after I finish. I was in a world of hurt,
:46:09. > :46:14.the legs were gone. I didn't realise as soon as I finished... May be two
:46:15. > :46:18.minutes after, getting out at the landing stage, I couldn't stand up
:46:19. > :46:22.and breathe at the same time, I had to be kneeling or lying down to
:46:23. > :46:28.breed. The team doctor came over and gave me an inhaler, she said, deep
:46:29. > :46:33.breaths, take your time. It's a funny sort of heady cocktail, you
:46:34. > :46:38.are so elated, in that moment when endorphins are spiking, but you
:46:39. > :46:44.can't even stand up. I know it's all about that. As you two said, it's
:46:45. > :46:51.four years. It's as much proving to yourself the last four Cilliers were
:46:52. > :46:56.worth it, as seen in that? -- the last four years were worth it. If
:46:57. > :47:00.you don't win that race that we raced today, none of that matters,
:47:01. > :47:04.it really doesn't. We would hand back any of our wins from the last
:47:05. > :47:09.four years to get this one today, we would hand back our best training
:47:10. > :47:14.sessions, all of that for today, and you have seven, six minutes to make
:47:15. > :47:18.it work. One bad stroke could lose that race. One bad start could put
:47:19. > :47:24.you out of the back door and you can't make it up, you can't make up
:47:25. > :47:28.a bad start most the time. Knowing you had those early mornings, those
:47:29. > :47:32.training sessions, you hurt yourself, what Stan is describing
:47:33. > :47:35.you do every day in training. We had ourselves that much to not be able
:47:36. > :47:39.to get the result you feel you deserve on the day you want it. One
:47:40. > :47:45.in four years, that would be heartbreaking. When it comes to the
:47:46. > :47:49.men's four, there may be historical as well as individual pressure. The
:47:50. > :47:56.men's four has been a very successful boat for Team GB.
:47:57. > :48:07.Great Britain get the gold medal, relief all round! Great Britain have
:48:08. > :48:14.come up, Great Britain are the Olympic champions. The crowd are
:48:15. > :48:19.going mad! Gold-medal Great Britain. We have done it, we have done it,
:48:20. > :48:23.we've done it in style. Great Britain the Olympic champions once
:48:24. > :48:29.more! This is what they've trained for, this is the 500 metres of pain.
:48:30. > :48:34.Incredible discipline and power, that's what you need to win a race.
:48:35. > :48:36.They've done enough, it's going to be five in a row now, they are
:48:37. > :48:48.Olympic champions. We will talk a little bit more about
:48:49. > :48:52.the weight of history in a moment. From the four in the boat from the
:48:53. > :48:56.men's four, we'll go to the velodrome where the medal ceremony
:48:57. > :49:02.is taking place for the four 's Team GB cyclists. At the end of the men's
:49:03. > :49:07.team pursuit. As you can see they are waiting to be introduced onto
:49:08. > :49:13.the podium. Going through them of their ceremonial business first of
:49:14. > :49:18.all. The Australians have their silver, it's time for the four
:49:19. > :49:24.British cyclists to get on there. Ed Clancy, Steven Burke, Owain Doull,
:49:25. > :49:27.and Sir Bradley Wiggins. The four who have won gold for Team GB in the
:49:28. > :49:40.velodrome this evening. Do you talk to cyclists, is there
:49:41. > :49:43.any crossover, Helen? The road cyclists were staying in the same
:49:44. > :49:47.hotel, we've seen them spoken to them. There is a little bit of
:49:48. > :49:51.crossover, rowers like to think they are good at cycling, until you get
:49:52. > :49:54.beside a cyclist. And we realise we're rubbish. There is a similar
:49:55. > :50:00.mentality in terms of the things like that. A very similar mentality,
:50:01. > :50:02.you could argue, in the professionalism of the sports
:50:03. > :50:06.nowadays, certainly in the success they have delivered for Great
:50:07. > :50:11.Britain. We're now about to hear the national anthem in the velodrome, to
:50:12. > :50:24.celebrate those four men winning gold.
:50:25. > :50:40.ANNOUNCER: ladies and gentlemen, the anthem of Great Britain.
:50:41. > :51:20.APPLAUSE CHEERING
:51:21. > :51:36.. Anybody thinking about sticking
:51:37. > :51:42.their tongue out on the podium? No, I was making sure I wasn't crying,
:51:43. > :51:48.that was the main aim for my podium. If I could fit onto the top of it
:51:49. > :51:52.for a fifth time, maybe I would do that. Could you feel the tears? I
:51:53. > :51:59.was wiping my eyes, I was holding back. It's been up and down, and
:52:00. > :52:03.afterwards, when I spoke to my parents, I was gone, I couldn't
:52:04. > :52:06.stop. When we talk about the men's four and the weight of history,
:52:07. > :52:10.there is always been somebody who has gone from one Olympics to the
:52:11. > :52:16.next. That was Alex in this boat, is the continuity important?
:52:17. > :52:21.Definitely, Alex provides that level head, if it's all going pear shaped
:52:22. > :52:28.in training, if it's going well in training, Alex is there to sort of
:52:29. > :52:36.look to, and say, is this able to be rescued, is this really good? He is
:52:37. > :52:41.that link to the past. Because he's done it before it gives the rest of
:52:42. > :52:48.us confidence. A great ingredient to have in the crew. He is the Yoda of
:52:49. > :52:53.the crew. As well as being Yoda, is when of the cutest tweet, certainly
:52:54. > :52:59.of the day, if not the whole Olympics so far. On face time, two
:53:00. > :53:06.of your children with your medal, what did they say to you? Jasper was
:53:07. > :53:11.telling me about a dead bat he found. Daisy was telling me about
:53:12. > :53:13.her sore toe. They didn't pay me a blind bit of notice until I showed
:53:14. > :53:19.them the medal, then they were interested. Fantastic, thank you so
:53:20. > :53:23.much for coming in. Congratulations on behalf of the whole country. The
:53:24. > :53:27.only thing I could do to match it, because I knew you were coming in
:53:28. > :53:32.with gold, was to... Don't know if you can see that... I was coming in
:53:33. > :53:38.with some gold shoes. They are amazing! They are a one-off, I don't
:53:39. > :53:42.think I can go out for a night out in my gold shoes. Congratulations to
:53:43. > :53:45.all of you. Clare, hope you like my shoes.
:53:46. > :53:51.I love those shoes, and jealous I don't have any! I suspect Sir Chris
:53:52. > :53:55.Hoy does in his cupboard somewhere. You were watching that gold medal
:53:56. > :53:59.ceremony, the reaction of Bradley Wiggins, when the camera was on him,
:54:00. > :54:03.remember daily drops in whistling, it was the old... This doesn't
:54:04. > :54:11.bother me. He was showing how much of the release of pressure there
:54:12. > :54:13.was, he is happy and relaxed, no sense of massive release, he is
:54:14. > :54:17.loving the moment, having fun, enjoying it. -- it was like Daley
:54:18. > :54:22.Thompson whistling. Where does this rank in terms of Olympians and
:54:23. > :54:27.cyclists? Where would you put him? In terms of cyclists, he's the
:54:28. > :54:31.greatest British cyclists of all time, no one else has done what he's
:54:32. > :54:33.done across the board, in different disciplines for different events,
:54:34. > :54:39.for so many years. Chris Froome has three Tour de France wins, not a
:54:40. > :54:43.mean feat by any stretch of the imagination. Because Bradley has
:54:44. > :54:48.done Tour de France time trial world titles, world titles on the track,
:54:49. > :54:51.time trial, world record holder, no one has done that. For that reason,
:54:52. > :54:56.he is the greatest. Tonight hasn't changed that from he was the
:54:57. > :55:00.greatest fortnight. He has now surpassed the total medals in terms
:55:01. > :55:04.of a British athlete at the Olympics, eight in total. The main
:55:05. > :55:09.thing is he has won his fifth gold. It was an incredibly tense race,
:55:10. > :55:12.Australia up until the last 750 metres, then the British four came
:55:13. > :55:17.through. Let's update you on the other action. Heading to Deodoro for
:55:18. > :55:22.the latest on dressage, Great Britain defending team champions.
:55:23. > :55:23.Against the might of Germany, USA and Netherlands. Lee McKenzie has
:55:24. > :55:35.the story. What a performance, what a
:55:36. > :55:40.temperament. She's done it. Gold! Charlotte Dujardin has aced the cake
:55:41. > :55:47.in the style. A wonderful, wonderful moment.
:55:48. > :55:53.Until London 2012 Great Britain had never won an Olympic medal when it
:55:54. > :55:58.came to dressage. Germany were the team to beat having taken the last
:55:59. > :56:02.seven Olympic team gold medals. They've come here as the team world
:56:03. > :56:06.champions but today is the day that will decide who leaves Rio with a
:56:07. > :56:09.gold medal. Currently Germany lead Great Britain.
:56:10. > :56:18.A lady from Great Britain, Fiona Bigwood. A couple of mistakes for
:56:19. > :56:26.Fiona Bigwood but it could prove costly, as Britain hoped to retain
:56:27. > :56:41.gold. For Germany, next up was world number one Christine boring sprayer.
:56:42. > :56:44.Nice shot there. -- she's set a pretty hot pace. The great man
:56:45. > :56:52.himself, Carl Hester, you will want to put everything together one test.
:56:53. > :56:58.If there is any chance of retaining that Olympic team gold medal. Carl
:56:59. > :57:02.Hester is the godfather of British dressage and rides the biggest horse
:57:03. > :57:06.in the competition. But Nick Thorpe isn't the bravest, could he hold his
:57:07. > :57:17.nerve to close the gap on the Germans? -- Nip Tuck isn't the
:57:18. > :57:22.bravest. Lara Graves was the last American rider to go, could she do
:57:23. > :57:27.enough to secure bronze for her country? Laura Graves completed for
:57:28. > :57:47.the Americans. Werth has eight medals to her name
:57:48. > :57:55.already, she was assured the ninth, would it be gold or silver? This is
:57:56. > :58:00.going to be another very good one for Germany, has its nails gold?
:58:01. > :58:07.Olympic individual gold medallist from London, the last to go in this
:58:08. > :58:13.Grand Prix special test on Valegro. What more is there to say about
:58:14. > :58:16.Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro? The the Olympic, world and European
:58:17. > :58:20.champions, and hold every world record in dressage. It would take a
:58:21. > :58:27.flawless performance to bring back that big gap from Germany. Nice
:58:28. > :58:38.passage, really starting to get back their composure again. Really lovely
:58:39. > :58:45.steps. They are very, very close indeed! Britain have definitely got
:58:46. > :58:50.silver. The world champions become Olympic champions, for Germany,
:58:51. > :58:56.normal service is resumed. Great Britain take over, United States of
:58:57. > :58:59.America take bronze. Not the colour of medal you are used to but I'm
:59:00. > :59:03.sure you'll cope with silver. I'm really proud of having a silver
:59:04. > :59:08.medal, we knew it was going to be so tough to get gold, we knew the
:59:09. > :59:12.Germans were really tough this year. But we all did our very best, we are
:59:13. > :59:18.all very happy and really proud of coming home with a silver. It really
:59:19. > :59:22.is a terrific performance bearing in mind Britain had never won a medal
:59:23. > :59:26.in dressage before London, came away with two gold, silver in the team
:59:27. > :59:31.competition. Still a chance of gold on Monday afternoon, 2pm your time,
:59:32. > :59:35.Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro will defend their individual title with
:59:36. > :59:39.an amazing routine. For the freestyle. From gymnastic ability on
:59:40. > :59:42.horseback, to doing it on your own two fit with the aid of the
:59:43. > :59:47.trampoline. For the very first time, Britain had two in the final of the
:59:48. > :59:50.Olympic trampolining. Kat Driscoll and Bryony Page were the ones to
:59:51. > :59:51.watch. Christine Still and Ollie Williams commentate.
:59:52. > :59:56.medal ceremony which will be taking place very shortly.
:59:57. > :00:04.And this whole final is pointing towards a real clash of some of the
:00:05. > :00:16.world's finest. Bryony Page steps up to make her Olympic final debut. A
:00:17. > :00:22.lovely first move, well and out. She has to keep this up. A good kick out
:00:23. > :00:30.of the double tuck. Lots of energy in that element. Lovely style and
:00:31. > :00:37.control. Write to the very end, that was a very impressive performance
:00:38. > :00:44.from Bryony Page. The British fans in here have erupted. She sticks the
:00:45. > :00:48.landing. She has put in about as good a performance as you could
:00:49. > :00:53.expect. You can see how much it means to her. She really focused
:00:54. > :00:59.well and she has taken that opportunity beautifully. She had
:01:00. > :01:08.injury problems leading up to London 2012. And she is into the lead in
:01:09. > :01:14.the final. Kat Driscoll has seen Bryony Page go clean and well. Here
:01:15. > :01:18.we go, you are those three somersaults. A little bit of travel,
:01:19. > :01:27.but she has brought it under control. Beautiful style throughout
:01:28. > :01:33.her work. Legs tied into together. Even these lighter moves kicked out
:01:34. > :01:38.at the top. Another fantastic routine from the British girls. That
:01:39. > :01:44.was fabulous. She has made the Olympic final and she has gone clean
:01:45. > :01:53.and she has done everything she can. She is in second place behind her
:01:54. > :01:57.team-mate with four more to go. She is a super-confident gymnast. A
:01:58. > :02:05.lovely extension. The judges will not be able to take off very much.
:02:06. > :02:11.She's locked in behind briny page. Rosie Maclennan, the defending
:02:12. > :02:22.champion. That travelled a little bit. She pulled it back well.
:02:23. > :02:30.Keeping the height and the control. And now they're very well performed
:02:31. > :02:40.difficult routine. Rosie Maclennan goes into first place with two more
:02:41. > :02:49.go. 27 years old, the world champion last year. Very good positioning,
:02:50. > :02:55.really strongly. She goes into third and briny page is an Olympic silver
:02:56. > :03:03.medallist. It is gold again for Canada. One of the greatest results
:03:04. > :03:06.in British trampolining history. A lot of the girls are getting
:03:07. > :03:13.stronger and the British have been working their buts off to get here.
:03:14. > :03:18.We did not come in expecting a medal. We thought we could fight for
:03:19. > :03:23.one, but to take one is amazing. I cannot believe I have won an Olympic
:03:24. > :03:27.medal. I am speechless, I can't believe it.
:03:28. > :03:36.The graphic may have said gold, but it is silver. Paul Greaves is the
:03:37. > :03:42.coach. The tears have stopped, but what a moment for you. Absolutely
:03:43. > :03:47.incredible, I could not believe it. I am just buzzing. It has been so
:03:48. > :03:52.much fun. Getting on that trampoline and it was the best routine I could
:03:53. > :03:56.have done at that moment, so wherever I finished I would be
:03:57. > :04:00.happy, but to get a medal I was over the moon and to find out it was
:04:01. > :04:07.silver, I could not believe it. How much hard work has gone into this?
:04:08. > :04:13.So much hard work. This has been a four-year journey, not just the last
:04:14. > :04:16.few months. We had to overcome some disappointments as well and you have
:04:17. > :04:21.to deal with them and grow stronger from them and that is what she did.
:04:22. > :04:28.For you is this a lifetime highlight? It is just amazing, I
:04:29. > :04:34.cannot believe it. Definitely, this was really special, very special.
:04:35. > :04:40.Did you know when you came into your final landing that you had done it?
:04:41. > :04:44.I had no idea it was a medal potential, but I knew it was the
:04:45. > :04:49.best I could have done. That is what I did and I was so overcome with
:04:50. > :04:57.emotion that I had done that and I was so happy. I cannot stop smiling.
:04:58. > :05:03.Trampolining is a relatively new sport, it was introduced in Sydney
:05:04. > :05:07.in 2000. What will this do in terms of recognition in Britain, not
:05:08. > :05:13.something that you do at the end of the garden, but something you can do
:05:14. > :05:17.in sport. I would love to see so many people take this spot up and go
:05:18. > :05:23.to clubs and get coach sessions and clubs across the country. We have
:05:24. > :05:27.proved we are amazing that trampoline, so we want more people
:05:28. > :05:35.to get involved. You have already gathered crowd around you. Well
:05:36. > :05:42.done. The first ever medal in trampolining in the Olympics. They
:05:43. > :05:50.have got a foghorn as well. Not the days of Steve Ovett and Sebastian
:05:51. > :05:55.Coe has there been to people competing against each other.
:05:56. > :06:00.Jessica Ennis-Hill is in the heptathlon and her team-mate,
:06:01. > :06:09.Katarina Johnson-Thompson is in there with her. This is what
:06:10. > :06:15.happened this morning. Welcome, everybody, to the stadium. An
:06:16. > :06:19.enthralling couple of days of competition.
:06:20. > :06:26.Katarina Johnson-Thompson goes in lane three and her quest for an
:06:27. > :06:33.Olympic medal starts here. Can she win this first tee? She may be a
:06:34. > :06:38.little bit disappointed she did not get a personal best. And so it
:06:39. > :06:44.begins for Jessica Ennis-Hill, the Olympic champion ready to launch her
:06:45. > :06:49.defence. Alongside her is Brianne Thiesen Eaton who will push her all
:06:50. > :07:02.the way. Jessica Ennis-Hill is moving so quickly. 12.84, that is a
:07:03. > :07:10.very good start. Jessica Ennis-Hill looks as though she is back to her
:07:11. > :07:17.best in the high jump. 1.83, a good clearance. Briand Thiesen Eaton has
:07:18. > :07:31.gone clear at the first attempt of 1.86. That was a good one. Jessica
:07:32. > :07:41.Ennis-Hill, yes! The buyer was raised. 1.89. Flawless from the
:07:42. > :07:51.young Brit. Jessica Ennis-Hill has got it! The best she has jumped in
:07:52. > :08:01.recent years. The last attempt at 1.92. The defence of her title
:08:02. > :08:10.continues. 1.95, there's too much a season 's best. Oh, yes, she has
:08:11. > :08:22.produced something very special. Nafi Thiam, it is raised to 1.98.
:08:23. > :08:30.She has got it, she has gone clear! Katarina Johnson-Thompson gathers
:08:31. > :08:34.herself for a new British record. Yes, Katarina Johnson Thomson, a new
:08:35. > :08:41.British record and she can barely believe it. This competition is
:08:42. > :08:42.turning into something, but for now it is Katarina Johnson Thomson in
:08:43. > :08:56.the league. The last attempt at 2.01. It was too
:08:57. > :09:00.much, but more importantly she goes into the lead after two events.
:09:01. > :09:05.Jessica Ennis-Hill is in third at the moment.
:09:06. > :09:14.Denise Lewis, what did you make of those events and that effort under
:09:15. > :09:21.pressure from Katarina? She has not fared well on big occasions. No, she
:09:22. > :09:26.has not, but this particular competition has been billed by us
:09:27. > :09:31.Brits as the showcase in this athletic Stadium and it did not
:09:32. > :09:35.disappoint. That high jump was such a thrilling competition to watch.
:09:36. > :09:41.Just watching it over again I have got goose pimples. We have never
:09:42. > :09:45.seen high jumping like that in a heptathlon. We have always known
:09:46. > :09:50.Katarina has the potential to really do well. She has not shown it at
:09:51. > :09:55.this stage in a major championships, but she did today. What we would
:09:56. > :10:01.expect from Jessica Ennis-Hill, the consummate performer, great hurdles
:10:02. > :10:06.and a fantastic item, considering she has never been at those sort of
:10:07. > :10:10.heights for the last few years. In terms of their strengths, what do
:10:11. > :10:18.you think will happen tonight? We have got the shot put and 200
:10:19. > :10:22.metres. So fired the script is going according to plan. I would say
:10:23. > :10:26.knowing their strengths and weaknesses, Katarina Johnson
:10:27. > :10:31.Thomson, her throwing let her down, so she will have to go to her
:10:32. > :10:36.personal best to stay in contention. I expect the lead to change hands at
:10:37. > :10:39.the moment where Jessica is the better shot putter. But this is
:10:40. > :10:47.where the pendulum swings in heptathlon. It should swing back
:10:48. > :10:52.into Jess's favour. We saw a very empty stadium for the morning heats,
:10:53. > :10:58.which always used to be the way. That was the same in London and
:10:59. > :11:01.Beijing. Do you think we might get a full house tonight? It is still
:11:02. > :11:09.quite early. The crowds are still gathering. Based on this morning,
:11:10. > :11:14.based on word of mouth, I am hoping people have bought tickets. It has
:11:15. > :11:18.been disappointing to be honest, but we expect that momentum to build.
:11:19. > :11:27.Hopefully tonight we will see a good crowd. Yes, word starts to spread.
:11:28. > :11:33.We could focus on Toni Minichiello, Jessica Ennis-Hill's coach. He will
:11:34. > :11:37.have a range of emotions that go from an moved to seriously unmoved.
:11:38. > :11:42.A touch of the evangelical about him, it was comic to watch. I would
:11:43. > :11:48.not underestimate what you are saying, they go through agony, the
:11:49. > :11:52.coaches. They have dedicated their life's work to their star pupils.
:11:53. > :12:00.They are churning inside, but they try not to show it. You need a cool
:12:01. > :12:04.head to make the right decisions, to deliver the correct information to
:12:05. > :12:08.your athletes and you need to be void of those highs and lows, so
:12:09. > :12:14.that is why we saw the that steady face from him. He was refusing to
:12:15. > :12:20.give anything away. We have got live athletics after midnight. There was
:12:21. > :12:26.a stunning performance in the 10,000 metres by a very special woman.
:12:27. > :12:37.A former steeplechaser one the gold medal today. She made her move just
:12:38. > :12:41.before 12 laps to go and she had a plan. Let's pick it up with around
:12:42. > :12:58.400 metres to go. This young lady used to be
:12:59. > :13:03.steeplechaser and she was not very happy with that event, she sat down
:13:04. > :13:08.with her husband and made a plan and changed the way she raised. Then she
:13:09. > :13:17.ripped the heart out of the big names, including the barber, and
:13:18. > :13:22.showed she could run quicker than anybody, but never did we think she
:13:23. > :13:27.could do this. She has come to the Olympic Games and has obliterated
:13:28. > :13:31.the field and has grasped the gold medal, but has completely and
:13:32. > :13:39.utterly torn up the record books. This is incredible. Ayana will smash
:13:40. > :13:42.the world record. She will become the Olympic champion, one of the
:13:43. > :13:51.greatest pieces of distance running you have ever seen. A new world
:13:52. > :14:02.record and it is the Olympic gold to Ayana Ethiopia.
:14:03. > :14:10.The great Tirunesh Dibaba will run her personal best to come the third
:14:11. > :14:20.after all of the great things that she has done. But what can you say
:14:21. > :14:25.about Ayana? What can you say about somebody who, when the pace was
:14:26. > :14:29.already fast and world record pace, picked it up and ripped this field
:14:30. > :14:38.apart? I have never seen anything like that. Jo Pavey finished 15th.
:14:39. > :14:50.In the 20 kilometre race walk China claimed at one, two. Australia came
:14:51. > :14:59.third. Tom Bosworth, led the race for much of the time and his record
:15:00. > :15:06.was one hour, 20 minutes and 13 seconds. It is 28 seconds faster
:15:07. > :15:11.than his previous best. I always think the walk looks the most
:15:12. > :15:15.painful. It is one thing running that far, but not being able to
:15:16. > :15:21.break into a trot, I am not sure you would be able to do it with your
:15:22. > :15:23.gold shoes. They are really sleepy, I nearly
:15:24. > :15:32.fell over when I walked into the studio. There are so many good
:15:33. > :15:33.stories around Team GB. We will join Shirley Robinson rounding up the day
:15:34. > :15:54.in the sailing at the Lido. Largo. The wind finally arrived on the
:15:55. > :16:00.rolling ocean courses, and when it did, the men's windsurfers head to
:16:01. > :16:05.head story continued in a Britain versus Netherlands fight for
:16:06. > :16:11.supremacy. Nick Dempsey led the windsurfing ranking earlier this
:16:12. > :16:14.week but an imperious Dorian van Rijsselberghe got the defence of his
:16:15. > :16:20.title into top gear when they raced on Wednesday and came into today
:16:21. > :16:24.with nine wins from nine races. There was no stopping the Dutch
:16:25. > :16:30.powerhouse. Dorian van Rijsselberghe revelled in the rolling waves and
:16:31. > :16:37.fired home two wins. Dempsey failed well but had no real answer. By the
:16:38. > :16:41.end of the day the gold was heading the Netherlands way. Good news for
:16:42. > :16:45.British fans was that Nick Dempsey also sails the silver with the medal
:16:46. > :16:51.race still to sail. He came ashore with a wave that acknowledged his
:16:52. > :16:56.place as the most medals men's windsurfing Olympic history. I'm
:16:57. > :17:04.happy, it's been quite difficult, but today I said to my coach, let's
:17:05. > :17:08.just go out, try to stay in touching distance and try to make sure we're
:17:09. > :17:13.guaranteed a medal. Dorian was too good today. Unfortunately he's come
:17:14. > :17:18.out top, but silver medal is amazing. In other news both double
:17:19. > :17:24.handed crews made good progress on the harbour as they lead, 7-1
:17:25. > :17:28.they're only race of the day. The wind elevated them to third on the
:17:29. > :17:36.leaderboard while Saskia Clark and Hannah Mills put themselves in gold
:17:37. > :17:41.medal position halfway. No wind for an hour, then the wind came, we got
:17:42. > :17:47.one race. It's pretty much dark now, we've just got in and we won. Really
:17:48. > :17:53.good afternoon for us. We can go straight to Shirley Robertson at the
:17:54. > :17:57.Marina da Gloria, with Nick Dempsey, British medallist. I'm stopping him
:17:58. > :18:02.celebrating. He came with a cup of tea, maybe he's not in a hurry. You
:18:03. > :18:06.caught us unaware, you weren't meant to win a medal until Sunday. I
:18:07. > :18:11.caught myself unaware. It's a strange feeling, finishing the race.
:18:12. > :18:17.Quick look at the coach to double check the numbers, won silver medal,
:18:18. > :18:22.it's a good feeling. We talked about the big Dutchman, Dorian van
:18:23. > :18:26.Rijsselberghe, the pair were a few were head and shoulders above the
:18:27. > :18:32.rest of the fleet. A bit like four years ago, Dorian sailed really well
:18:33. > :18:39.this week, I sailed well, too. It's very nice we've both sailed as well
:18:40. > :18:43.as we have this week. Five Olympic Games, 20 years of professional
:18:44. > :18:48.Olympic sailing. I know you wanted to end on goal but having had hours
:18:49. > :18:55.to reflect, how pleased you to end on silver? I am pleased, it's
:18:56. > :19:00.amazing, I walked back to the team container where everybody is sad,
:19:01. > :19:04.everyone is over the moon. You see people supporting us, the physios,
:19:05. > :19:10.everyone in the team, they were so happy. It's just a really nice
:19:11. > :19:16.feeling everyone is on board, everyone celebrating. It's a very
:19:17. > :19:22.difficult venue. What is the mood like in the camp? On the medal
:19:23. > :19:28.table. Potentially more to come. Everyone doing so well. I don't know
:19:29. > :19:33.what everyone's positions are, but the mood is great. Everyone getting
:19:34. > :19:37.off the water, some have had tough days, some have had good days, the
:19:38. > :19:44.vibe is great. Everyone's in good spirits. Chat to me about the venue,
:19:45. > :19:48.you've been sailing the last couple of days way out in the ocean.
:19:49. > :19:54.Describe for everyone at home what it's been like. I took my
:19:55. > :19:58.seasickness tablets, took some other tablets, to settle my stomach. The
:19:59. > :20:03.seas were massive, huge, never sailed in such big seas. The wind
:20:04. > :20:10.was light. It makes for not a very nice place to be. The sea is
:20:11. > :20:15.difficult, wind is difficult. The scenery is stunning. We took our
:20:16. > :20:20.time, looking back at Rio from out there is incredible. Windsurfers are
:20:21. > :20:24.a bit soft. It was a pleasure watching you, well done, Nick.
:20:25. > :20:29.LAUGHTER Put him away right at the end! Thank
:20:30. > :20:34.you, Shirley and Nick Dempsey. To hockey, a big game for the Great
:20:35. > :20:36.Britain men taking on Spain with hopes of progressing any further
:20:37. > :20:46.hanging in the balance. The final match for these two sides,
:20:47. > :20:49.Great Britain taking on Spain. Spain with their first foray forward,
:20:50. > :21:01.chance to get past Miller and they've scored, first goal to Spain
:21:02. > :21:06.courtesy of Alegre. The ball got drilled in. How it got through to
:21:07. > :21:13.him, Great Britain will never know. Backhand shot straight to a Spanish
:21:14. > :21:17.stick. The way they come. Only as far as Fox. Great Britain will have
:21:18. > :21:25.possession last seconds of the quarter. Driven inland behind. Sam
:21:26. > :21:31.Ward with a cross. Cortes looking for law. Driven across by Michael
:21:32. > :21:39.Hoare. Faintest of touches in front of the goalkeeper. Ashley Jackson 's
:21:40. > :21:45.prime target here. Here is Jackson. It's in! It took a deflection. But
:21:46. > :21:55.it found the net. Jackson's goal, Great Britain 2-1 Spain. The umpire
:21:56. > :21:59.going to video with thereof. The rule is that above knee height
:22:00. > :22:06.within five yards... Was he within five or bent down? The umpire
:22:07. > :22:12.suggesting it was indeed too high. No goal. Great Britain 1-1 Spain.
:22:13. > :22:17.With the goal ruled out, that was the final score. 1-1. That draw
:22:18. > :22:23.coupled with New Zealand's win over Belgium means disappointingly the
:22:24. > :22:28.men's team haven't made it through to the knockout stages. The women
:22:29. > :22:32.play their final group match tomorrow against the USA. They've
:22:33. > :22:35.had a better tournament. Their spot in the knockout is already
:22:36. > :22:39.guaranteed because they won their first four games.
:22:40. > :22:47.I'll take my shoes and go off into the Rio night, Clare will round up
:22:48. > :22:49.everything else regarding Team GB on day seven and reflect on a fantastic
:22:50. > :22:57.evening in the velodrome. I think those shoes are a huge hit,
:22:58. > :23:01.don't listen to anybody else. Jason Mohammad will have live track and
:23:02. > :23:02.field and swimming tonight. Let's round up the other stories from day
:23:03. > :23:11.seven. Australia's Marcus Fraser maintained
:23:12. > :23:15.his lead at the top of the golf standings after the second round.
:23:16. > :23:20.The Australian finished ten under to lead by one shot from Thomas Peters
:23:21. > :23:26.from Belgium. Henrik Stenson going well in third and Justin Rose still
:23:27. > :23:34.tied fourth. The Briton is mad keen on the Olympic experience. Defending
:23:35. > :23:39.singles champion Andy Murray had the second scare in as many days in the
:23:40. > :23:43.men's singles quarterfinals. The Scot eventually battled past Steve
:23:44. > :23:49.Johnson after a third set tie-break. He plays Kei Nishikori, who beat
:23:50. > :23:53.Gael Monfils, also in the third set tie-break. Rafa Nadal will face Del
:23:54. > :24:00.Potro. The husband and wife badminton double act earned a vital
:24:01. > :24:08.first round group stage victory against their Danish opponents. Late
:24:09. > :24:17.intrusions into the mixed doubles. After Murray's lawn singles match,
:24:18. > :24:22.he played with Heather Watson. They lost against India in straight sets,
:24:23. > :24:28.mixed day for Murray. Just over an hour ago, that velodrome over their
:24:29. > :24:29.witnessed one of the great Olympic finals, the gold medal race for the
:24:30. > :24:49.men's team pursuit. Oh my gosh. The race for Gold under
:24:50. > :24:52.way, 16 laps of the track. Australia against Great Britain, Australia the
:24:53. > :24:57.world champions. This is going to be a real nailbiter between these two.
:24:58. > :25:01.At the halfway mark its nearly seven tenths of a second. At the moment
:25:02. > :25:05.Australia in the box seat. Look at the determination on the Aussies
:25:06. > :25:11.faces. Both teams under world-record pace. We've never seen the likes of
:25:12. > :25:16.this before. Great Britain coming back. They've edged out three tenths
:25:17. > :25:24.of a second on the last lap, the raw going up inside the velodrome. It's
:25:25. > :25:29.on the wire now between these two. They have six laps to go, six laps
:25:30. > :25:35.to glory, Australia down to three already. Britain staying as a four.
:25:36. > :25:38.Just 0.1 of a second behind, Britain travelling faster than the
:25:39. > :25:41.Australians, they have momentum. Britain trying to keep momentum
:25:42. > :25:45.going into the closing stages of this race. Australia suddenly the
:25:46. > :25:51.team put under pressure here. Britain staying strong, looking
:25:52. > :25:55.neat, tidy. That was a gap in the Australian three, it could be fatal
:25:56. > :25:59.at this point, almost dead level. Australia starting to look ragged,
:26:00. > :26:04.down to three. They really are on the limit here. It's tough for them
:26:05. > :26:09.as Great Britain pile it on with Wiggins riding on the front. Wiggins
:26:10. > :26:14.has handed over to Ed Clancy, Clancy has worked on his wheel. Owain Doull
:26:15. > :26:18.in there, the four still looking good, riding strongly. They are in
:26:19. > :26:26.front. Hundredths of a second between the teams. Down to three,
:26:27. > :26:30.they are in the lead. Down to three, in the lead but only just,
:26:31. > :26:36.nail-biting stuff. It's going right down to the wire. They take... There
:26:37. > :26:42.is a gap in the British line-up, coming down to the last lap, whose
:26:43. > :26:45.has that extra in the legs, who can find the difference making moves to
:26:46. > :26:50.take them over the line in first place? Will it be Britain, will it
:26:51. > :26:54.be Australia? It will be Great Britain, written in a world record
:26:55. > :27:01.time! The awesome foursome have done it. Gold for Britain once more! For
:27:02. > :27:07.the third Olympic Games in a row. What a moment for Ed Clancy,
:27:08. > :27:12.three-time Olympic champion. Owain Doull, Steven Burke, and for Sir
:27:13. > :27:16.Bradley Wiggins. An unprecedented eighth medal for him. He becomes the
:27:17. > :27:25.most decorated British Olympic athlete of all time. How proud are
:27:26. > :27:28.you of this team? It seems hard to come off now, two minutes ago, and
:27:29. > :27:34.not about a load of cliches and emotional stuff. Really, the last 12
:27:35. > :27:38.months we've done everything together, training camp at altitude,
:27:39. > :27:42.early-morning staff at the track, late finishes at the track before
:27:43. > :27:48.Christmas Day, all for this, you know. We're here, we've done it.
:27:49. > :27:54.It's just a four guys here. They would never have come back if we
:27:55. > :27:58.didn't have the calibre, I always said Ed and Steven Burke are two of
:27:59. > :28:01.the most underrated athletes are graced with, so talented, they don't
:28:02. > :28:09.get credit because they are not big Road stars. Then someone like Owain
:28:10. > :28:14.Doull, who can do anything in the sport, nothing fazes him, especially
:28:15. > :28:17.Olympic finals at 21. When you're with guys like that on the line,
:28:18. > :28:21.makes your job a hell of a lot easier. I realise what we were going
:28:22. > :28:25.into, it adds nerves. These guys bouncing off the ceiling all
:28:26. > :28:30.afternoon in the apartment. I kept it all in check, went through the
:28:31. > :28:33.process, one step at a time, not thinking of gold. It's hard when
:28:34. > :28:37.your team-mates are winning gold in front of you. Yeah, just fantastic
:28:38. > :28:44.job, fantastic. You could see, ever the Joker, in
:28:45. > :28:49.that moment of high emotion, as it should be, as he realises he has
:28:50. > :28:52.achieved something no British Olympian has done before, he sticks
:28:53. > :28:56.his tongue out. Jill Douglas knows him better than most you've been
:28:57. > :29:02.following cycling for a long time. Since 2000, 16 years later, Chris
:29:03. > :29:05.Hoy said he is the greatest British cyclist of all time, do you agree?
:29:06. > :29:09.You have to give them what he's done on the road and track, it's
:29:10. > :29:14.difficult to argue for anybody else. Chris Froome at a phenomenal career,
:29:15. > :29:20.so many others, hoy and Pendleton. And Cavendish. You have to give it
:29:21. > :29:24.to serve Brad. You spoke to members of the coaching staff, what was
:29:25. > :29:27.their response? And how tight was the race? They were on schedule the
:29:28. > :29:31.whole way, that is what they were riding too, they had no idea what
:29:32. > :29:33.the Australians would deliver, they trusted the process and stuck to the
:29:34. > :29:35.schedule they
