Welcome back to coverage of the Olympic Games. That is Charlotte

:00:23.:00:30.

Dujardin on the wonderful Valegro, world champions, world record

:00:31.:00:35.

holders. The final rider in the second day of team competition.

:00:36.:00:48.

Let's rejoin Mike Tucker. Could she

:00:49.:00:48.

do the same again? The last to go in this Grand Prix special test on

:00:49.:01:02.

Valegro for Great Britain. Lovely halt. Balanced and a lovely

:01:03.:01:13.

move off. Really has her work cut out. Lovely expensive steps. I think

:01:14.:01:23.

she is able to let off the handbrake today in that extended trot. She has

:01:24.:01:29.

been careful and I think that is looking spot-on. The important thing

:01:30.:01:39.

now, as it is pretty well confirmed, that Germany have won a gold medal.

:01:40.:01:47.

It will not be possible, one feels, whatever this great combination

:01:48.:01:54.

dials. The important thing now, and the marks are looking really good,

:01:55.:02:00.

but gone down to a low one. While you were talking, she had a break in

:02:01.:02:04.

the half past to the left. Really expensive. 3.7 average. A real

:02:05.:02:15.

shame. Now, nice passage. Starting to get back their composure again.

:02:16.:02:21.

And the extended trot. She is starting to be able to ride them

:02:22.:02:29.

forwards and that is when he can get his big marks. The top 18 of those

:02:30.:02:35.

tests we have seen today in this Grand Prix special that will go

:02:36.:02:39.

forward for the individual title on Monday. Allegro and Charlotte nails

:02:40.:02:50.

the gold medal in London. I feel, psychologically, even if she did not

:02:51.:02:55.

win today, it would be important for her to get a really good score. To

:02:56.:03:01.

have the psychological advantage for the freestyle on Monday. Absolutely.

:03:02.:03:07.

She has a really good new freestyle that will be a treat for everybody.

:03:08.:03:15.

It is actually themed. Music by Tom Hunt, fantastic music. I heard it in

:03:16.:03:19.

the summer as a trial run and it is great. You are going to love it. And

:03:20.:03:27.

the extended trot, really lovely ground cover. She can get high marks

:03:28.:03:32.

for that and the transition back was nice. This passage has a little bit

:03:33.:03:37.

more lift and energy. Compared to the Grand Prix. Starting more

:03:38.:03:45.

active, energetic. I like it. That half pass left got low marks at

:03:46.:03:53.

threes and fors, but they are climbing back and almost back to

:03:54.:03:58.

80%, where we need it, we need it higher, if we can. Valegro, in the

:03:59.:04:06.

extended walks now. This is something that he has learned and

:04:07.:04:13.

they have trained him to walk and extend better in the walk. As a

:04:14.:04:18.

young horse he did not find it natural to extend his walk, he was

:04:19.:04:31.

bouncy and fully -- full of energy. Into the piaffe. Really lovely

:04:32.:04:37.

steps. Active, energetic. Let's see if she can keep the energy and

:04:38.:04:42.

activity in the passage. At times I worry he gets a little bit slow. Not

:04:43.:04:51.

quite active enough. They won their second European title in Aachen last

:04:52.:05:07.

year. .25 of per cent, close behind. That is why Karl and Charlotte have

:05:08.:05:12.

managed this horse over the past year, not having a competition until

:05:13.:05:16.

recently when they came out and showed they were fresh and in good

:05:17.:05:20.

form. They have shown that so far but they have dropped more marks.

:05:21.:05:26.

Not sure about the transition into canter as you were talking, Mike.

:05:27.:05:32.

The passage is looking quite nice. Almost lost balance. The half passes

:05:33.:05:41.

in canter now and lovely expensive steps. -- expansive.

:05:42.:05:59.

A nice flying change. The second half pass into the extended canter

:06:00.:06:10.

and she can gain... Oh, no, it is not, I am getting ahead of myself.

:06:11.:06:12.

And one mistake. She recovered well but that was

:06:13.:06:31.

unfortunately an expensive mistake. Still at the moment over 80%,

:06:32.:06:40.

getting close to 81%. Just has to be careful that she keeps him balanced

:06:41.:06:47.

here. Nice. He can earn high marks for the times when he gets them

:06:48.:06:52.

right. He has made mistakes in the past. He can get carried away and

:06:53.:07:01.

want to run forwards a bit. 5.9 in the two times, which was expensive.

:07:02.:07:08.

Lovely, expressive extended canter added expressive flying change. High

:07:09.:07:20.

marks. Her pirouettes. Again, very controlled, very balanced. Size -

:07:21.:07:27.

wise, quite small. The judges look for that to give the really high

:07:28.:07:34.

marks. Lovely one-time changes. 8.9 for the extended canter and 8.4 for

:07:35.:07:39.

the pirouette on the centre line. Let's hope and pray they give a good

:07:40.:07:44.

mark for the lovely one-time changes. Tens apparently for the

:07:45.:07:55.

flying change. And the scores are getting very close. Both the current

:07:56.:08:02.

leader and Charlotte are both now on 81%. Charlotte just fractionally

:08:03.:08:07.

behind. Can she catch up as we come towards the end of the test? Let's

:08:08.:08:12.

hope she keeps this energy and act committee. Keeps him energetic. --

:08:13.:08:22.

and activity. Make sure he does not do it too

:08:23.:08:32.

early, Charlotte. Active, active. The marks, Peter, are almost

:08:33.:08:43.

identical. Let's just hope she keeps this passage and energy right up to

:08:44.:08:49.

the end to be halt. The marks are very close. They are very, very

:08:50.:09:01.

close indeed! It may just be that she will finish behind Isabell

:09:02.:09:03.

Werth, but it will be small percentages.

:09:04.:09:09.

There are the final set of marks to come. Hopefully, Mike, the pace is

:09:10.:09:19.

Mark, I think Allegro has better paces and he might have a higher

:09:20.:09:26.

marks of that. Perhaps not for the submission marks, for making the

:09:27.:09:27.

mistakes. Well, Britain have not won gold but

:09:28.:09:46.

they have won a silver medal behind a brilliant German team today. As we

:09:47.:09:53.

look through the final set of marks. It is nip and tuck through the final

:09:54.:10:05.

set of marks. I have a feeling Isabell will be fractionally ahead.

:10:06.:10:14.

Mailing the German team gold medal win. Britain have definitely got a

:10:15.:10:19.

silver medal and America the bronze medal. And the score, 83.025.

:10:20.:10:30.

Charlotte finishes second. Really puts an interesting twist on the

:10:31.:10:36.

individual in the freestyle on Monday.

:10:37.:10:44.

Lee McKenzie, you were watching will stop I suspect Carl Hester is not

:10:45.:10:52.

far away. He trained Charlotte and is her team-mate, what was his take

:10:53.:10:56.

on that test? There were uncharacteristic mistakes.

:10:57.:11:03.

In the past we have seen a couple of changes from Charlotte and Allegro

:11:04.:11:09.

in the flying changes. If that was a weakness, and we are picking a fine

:11:10.:11:15.

situation, it would have been that. Unusually, not the mistake we saw in

:11:16.:11:20.

the half pass. I wonder if something spooked, with so much going on in

:11:21.:11:25.

the arena. We had a helicopter and the wind swirling around, at the end

:11:26.:11:30.

though, when she did the final salute, huge smiles and a cheer from

:11:31.:11:35.

Carl Hester who I will grab in a second. We have come to expect so

:11:36.:11:40.

much from Charlotte and it shows what she has done for dressage. She

:11:41.:11:46.

is box office, the Allegro is box office and the slightest mistake and

:11:47.:11:53.

everybody gets deflated but what she has done is incredible for the

:11:54.:11:56.

sport, not only in the UK, but worldwide. It does not matter

:11:57.:12:00.

whether she leaves the individual standings or not, does it go back to

:12:01.:12:05.

zero tomorrow and we start with freestyle to decide the individual

:12:06.:12:12.

placings? The top 18 riders from here go through to the freestyle.

:12:13.:12:19.

Each nation is only allowed to take three through. Even if you have four

:12:20.:12:24.

in the top 18, you cannot take the final one through. I am going to

:12:25.:12:28.

grab Carl Hester, because you have won 18 silver medal. It is a very

:12:29.:12:37.

elated feeling. We fought hard. To come back from an Olympics when we

:12:38.:12:41.

had the first medal in London to hold onto another one, it was

:12:42.:12:45.

desperation point for me that it would happen. The horses have

:12:46.:12:52.

performed amazingly. They have travelled half way across the world

:12:53.:12:56.

and the fact they have come off the plane and been beautifully looked

:12:57.:13:02.

after by the handling team and performing at this level in Rio is

:13:03.:13:09.

so exciting. The horses can do that. They are our partners in this sport

:13:10.:13:14.

and we are happy with how they have gone. Fiona and to have a new member

:13:15.:13:24.

of the team, it is his first Olympics. He improved his game

:13:25.:13:28.

today. It was important he felt part of it and it is great he has.

:13:29.:13:40.

Charlotte, we rely so heavily on the lag -- Valegro. It is a walk in the

:13:41.:13:47.

park watching him go around a test. He is so relaxed about it and we get

:13:48.:13:52.

huge pleasure from watching him. I cannot wait to go back to the stable

:13:53.:13:56.

and give them a hug and tell them well done. You have mentioned

:13:57.:14:03.

everybody else. You don't like talking about yourself that you have

:14:04.:14:07.

helped dressage in the UK and worldwide massively. You train your

:14:08.:14:13.

team-mates. You have produced Spencer's horse and you part in the

:14:14.:14:18.

Allegro. Everything you have ought to dressage and what you have

:14:19.:14:22.

achieved? They have been great this week, my team-mates. They are always

:14:23.:14:28.

saying, how do you do it, and make me feel good about myself. I am

:14:29.:14:33.

proud of them because the inspiration we have given them over

:14:34.:14:37.

the last six, seven years, is why we are producing riders with a future.

:14:38.:14:46.

If I were not on a team or decided to let someone else have a go, it

:14:47.:14:50.

would be great to watch them carry on with the confidence created. I am

:14:51.:14:57.

very much a team person. I enjoyed this sort of thing. It is much nicer

:14:58.:15:04.

for me. Nip Tuck is not the same league perhaps as Allegro but he has

:15:05.:15:09.

performed his socks off today and I am with my performance. Go and see

:15:10.:15:14.

your team-mates and get more Olympic medals.

:15:15.:15:19.

Claire, back to you. Well said, without him there would be no

:15:20.:15:24.

dressage success. A silver medal for Great Britain behind Germany taking

:15:25.:15:28.

the gold medal and a chance for Charlotte Dujardin to defend her

:15:29.:15:34.

title. For the first time ever we have British gymnasts into the

:15:35.:15:39.

trampoline final. This is briny page in action.

:15:40.:15:40.

Ollie Williams leading the commentary. Briny page steps up to

:15:41.:15:49.

make her Olympic final debut for Great Britain. She has performed so

:15:50.:15:55.

well at World Championship level and looks so strong in qualifying and

:15:56.:15:59.

now she has one shot at earning herself an Olympic trampoline medal.

:16:00.:16:12.

Immensely stylish gymnast, Bryony, deductions take finance the toes are

:16:13.:16:19.

not pointed and the knees are not straight. Her style is a trademark.

:16:20.:16:29.

She's coached by Paul Greeves in Sheffield.

:16:30.:16:34.

Great height. Of course the height must be consistent.

:16:35.:16:41.

Lovely first move. Well controlled and out.

:16:42.:16:47.

On the middle of the bed she has to keep this up. A good kick-out of the

:16:48.:16:52.

double tuck. Lots of energy into that.

:16:53.:16:58.

Lovely style. Lovely control. Right to the very end. That was a very rim

:16:59.:17:05.

pressive performance from Bryony Page.

:17:06.:17:13.

Briony has put in about as good an Olympic final performance as she

:17:14.:17:16.

could expect. You could see how much it means to her to have done that.

:17:17.:17:22.

Christine, it looked as though this was about as clean as she could have

:17:23.:17:27.

done this? I think so. She really focussed well. They have trained so,

:17:28.:17:32.

so hard. I watched the last control competition. They rep micated this

:17:33.:17:40.

final. They had the amount of time off between the routines and the day

:17:41.:17:45.

that I watched it went cleanly. If you train like that, you give

:17:46.:17:49.

yourself a fighting chance. She has taken that opportunity beautifully.

:17:50.:17:55.

Injury problems in the run-up to London 2012.

:17:56.:18:04.

56.040. A 14.4 for difficulty and Bryony Page moves into the lead of

:18:05.:18:16.

the Olympic 2016 final. An emotional Bryony Page. And

:18:17.:18:21.

another qualifier, Kat Driscoll, another good effort from her took

:18:22.:18:25.

her to fourth. We are joining it live. Bryony Page is still there.

:18:26.:18:36.

Here is Christine Still and Ollie Williams.

:18:37.:18:46.

Lee Dan finishes her routine inside the Olympic arena. We wait to see

:18:47.:18:53.

her score. We have one of the great Olympic finals nearing its end.

:18:54.:19:06.

Rosie McCleanland. Bryony Page and Christine Still, we wait to see what

:19:07.:19:10.

the world champion, Lee Dan will get.

:19:11.:19:13.

Well, it was a very good routine. Stylish. The gymnasts have to aim to

:19:14.:19:19.

bounce right over the cross on every occasion. She really didn't deviate

:19:20.:19:24.

very much at all. She keeps the height beautifully

:19:25.:19:27.

throughout and the smile tells you she was happy with the performance.

:19:28.:19:33.

It looked every inch a world champion's routine. She certainly

:19:34.:19:42.

believes it is. Is it enough to unseat Rose Queen McLevel and at the

:19:43.:19:52.

top? It is of and He Dan goes into silver medal and Bryony Page is

:19:53.:19:59.

third. And Bryony Page is sob being. She

:20:00.:20:04.

can't believe she is an Olympic medallist.

:20:05.:20:09.

Rosie comes over to talk to her. She knows how that feels. Bryony Page is

:20:10.:20:16.

going to win an Olympic medal in Rio.

:20:17.:20:27.

And there is one more to go. It is Tatsiana Petstriana.

:20:28.:20:32.

Well, she qualified top. So efficient, so clean in

:20:33.:20:37.

qualification. The gymnasts work in reverse order. That travelled in the

:20:38.:20:42.

beginning. She managed to hold it inside the square. She has to keep

:20:43.:20:47.

that going. Has to keep the legs locked and clean. Every move must be

:20:48.:20:54.

extended at the top. Kicking out. A built of movement. Land properly.

:20:55.:20:59.

Oh! She nearly let it whip away from her. That is a strong bid. But is it

:21:00.:21:05.

strong enough? A great performance a little hop on the landing. Now we

:21:06.:21:10.

wait to see what colour the medal is that woman has won. Bryony Page is

:21:11.:21:18.

going to get a medal, will it be a silver or a bronze medal? It is how

:21:19.:21:25.

the judges score this final routine. Well, she has good style. When she

:21:26.:21:29.

tucks it is really tight. The pikes are clean.

:21:30.:21:33.

These are all the things that matter. She's not completely

:21:34.:21:39.

convinced she will make it. You can see, there is no celebration yet.

:21:40.:21:43.

One of the most experienced gymnast in the competition. She is the

:21:44.:21:48.

oldest. She's been to four Olympic Games. The first in Sydney in 1998.

:21:49.:22:01.

Rosee McClelland. And the score is come doing in. The score is in.

:22:02.:22:14.

Piatrenia is fifth and Byrony Page is a Silver Medallist. A stunning

:22:15.:22:26.

result. Rosannagh Maclennan wins. She acknowledges the crowd. That is

:22:27.:22:36.

a huge, huge victory for Rosie Maclennan.

:22:37.:22:48.

Bryony Page has won a silver medal. That is phenomenal.

:22:49.:22:56.

This is such a significant result for the gymnasts, for the British

:22:57.:23:02.

gymnasts as a whole. Here, Canada is number one. Great

:23:03.:23:05.

Britain is number two. It is history!

:23:06.:23:18.

Scenes of celebration for the British time, for Bryony Page as

:23:19.:23:26.

well. A fantastic effort. That was not expected. It so exciting to be

:23:27.:23:34.

bringing you live trampolining on television. I'm not sure that has

:23:35.:23:37.

ever happened before. Sensational stuff.

:23:38.:23:42.

Try to stop your kids practicing that.

:23:43.:23:45.

But I need to give you news from the football. That is that team USA in

:23:46.:23:50.

the women's football, well, they are out.

:23:51.:23:53.

Winning four out of the five Gold Medals ever in the women's football

:23:54.:23:57.

Olympics. They have gone out on penalties to Sweden. This is Lisa

:23:58.:24:06.

Doubfist with the crucial penalty that took Sweden through and the USA

:24:07.:24:10.

are out. Well, Great Britain have had a

:24:11.:24:14.

fabulous day so far in winning two Gold Medals in on the water in the

:24:15.:24:20.

rowing. Most of the medals have gone on or in the water other than one.

:24:21.:24:26.

It was from here in the velodrome. It came from the men's team sprint.

:24:27.:24:34.

A question mark here for Team GB. Philip Hindes strong and powerful.

:24:35.:24:39.

Jason Kenny trying to take it over for lap two. A test for Callum

:24:40.:24:44.

Skinner. What is the time for Great Britain? 42.562. A new Olympic

:24:45.:24:51.

record and Great Britain make a flying start in the velodrome! World

:24:52.:24:57.

champions New Zealand against Germany.

:24:58.:25:00.

Into the finishing straight, a fast time from New Zealand. 42.535, a new

:25:01.:25:07.

Olympic record. The Olympic final in the men's team

:25:08.:25:12.

sprint. Ethan Mitchell against Philip Hindes

:25:13.:25:15.

on the first leg. New Zealand are the world champions. The fastest

:25:16.:25:19.

team in the qualifying ride. Can Great Britain pull it out here?

:25:20.:25:23.

Great Britain in the lead. But just. It is so, so close here.

:25:24.:25:28.

Up towards the line and the Gold Medal goes to Great Britain! The

:25:29.:25:33.

Olympic champions again! Callum Skinner, he brings it home for

:25:34.:25:37.

Britain on the back of Hinds and Kenny. What a ride! And for the

:25:38.:25:43.

third time in a row, Great Britain with the Gold Medallist and Olympic

:25:44.:25:49.

champions in the men's team sprint. The Kiwis went really fast and broke

:25:50.:25:53.

our Olympic record and we went to beat them. I am proud of that.

:25:54.:25:59.

Really happy. To come here and fob an Olympic champion it is just

:26:00.:26:04.

like... It is just incredible. The second Gold Medal for the man

:26:05.:26:09.

sitting between myself and Chris. Callum Skinner is the guy that did

:26:10.:26:15.

three laps. Calum and Jason involved in qualifying for the individual

:26:16.:26:18.

team sprint, so Phillip, congratulations to you. It is a lot

:26:19.:26:22.

of training for one lap that you have to ride faster than you have

:26:23.:26:26.

ever done in your life before? Thank you very much. It is all or nothing.

:26:27.:26:30.

You must be honoured or race day. To be at your best. That is what we

:26:31.:26:34.

did. You were only 19 in London alongside

:26:35.:26:40.

Sir Chris Hoy. How did it compare? Being away from home but also the

:26:41.:26:44.

general atmosphere in Brazil and what was expected of you as a team?

:26:45.:26:48.

I have grown up a lot since London. I was 19 back then. I have learned a

:26:49.:26:52.

lot from Chris. I knew what I had to do.

:26:53.:27:00.

I knew what job I had to do. When you were stepping up there at

:27:01.:27:03.

the final, knowing there was nothing in it in the second ride. The quease

:27:04.:27:07.

were quicker, did you know you had more to give? Personally more to

:27:08.:27:12.

give to the team? We were holding back in the semi-final. We knew we

:27:13.:27:16.

just had to do a certain time to qualify for the final. In the final

:27:17.:27:19.

we knew it was all or nothing. Flat out.

:27:20.:27:25.

We went for it. Callum said to me in the last half, that he only saw

:27:26.:27:30.

dark. He could not even see the track anymore. So all out. Really?

:27:31.:27:39.

Wow! When you are watching the wore, how involved are you in what they

:27:40.:27:43.

are doing? Just praying that Jason did a quick lap and Callum finishing

:27:44.:27:47.

well. I was looking at the scoreboard.

:27:48.:27:51.
