:00:55. > :01:02., years of training, four years of hard work, four years of commitment

:01:03. > :01:07.from team, family and everyone involved and these guys know what it

:01:08. > :01:13.is all about, Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Steve Redgrave. At the moment,

:01:14. > :01:20.Britain's most successful Olympians, six gold medals for you, Chris, 5

:01:21. > :01:24.million, Steve. Bradley Wiggins wants to reach five and be level

:01:25. > :01:31.with you and you want to see him do it. Explain how difficult it gets as

:01:32. > :01:36.the Olympic cycle path by. What becomes hard that you did not think

:01:37. > :01:42.about earlier? I am involved in a team sport, so what my job was, was

:01:43. > :01:47.divine younger people who could pull me along to win the gold medal. That

:01:48. > :01:54.is what happened to me when I was drafted in as a youngster in 1984.

:01:55. > :01:58.It is about dedication and putting that sacrifice in. Around games the

:01:59. > :02:03.time everybody will talk about the sacrifice it is, but it is not a

:02:04. > :02:07.sacrifice because we love doing what we do. To be on a stage like this,

:02:08. > :02:15.velodrome cycling, is an amazing atmosphere. I have been here for the

:02:16. > :02:20.last four games and I keep myself tucked away and away from it, but it

:02:21. > :02:26.is the sheer determination. Once you get to a level it is not easy to

:02:27. > :02:31.keep that. Each four years you have to be better than you were before

:02:32. > :02:37.and you are always looking for an improvement. There are no books that

:02:38. > :02:43.say, you have broken all the records now, and this is how you do it next

:02:44. > :02:48.time if you followed this and this. It is you writing the books as you

:02:49. > :02:53.are doing it. How did you find your final Olympics in London? You were

:02:54. > :02:57.the same age then as Bradley is now. It was the toughest of all my

:02:58. > :03:04.experiences. Despite the denial of it all, your body starts to slow

:03:05. > :03:10.down a bit. For a one-off effort, I could produce the same output, but

:03:11. > :03:14.the recovery I was struggling in. I had injuries, I had to beat off

:03:15. > :03:19.challenges from team-mates like Jason Kenny in the individual

:03:20. > :03:22.events. But without that pressure from the younger riders coming

:03:23. > :03:26.through I would not have managed to keep working that hard, so I was

:03:27. > :03:31.inspired by my young team-mates to push me on and I was in the team

:03:32. > :03:36.sprint with them as well. I have a question for you. How long has it

:03:37. > :03:40.taken you to come to an Olympic Games without wanting to be out

:03:41. > :03:46.there? I am still itching to get on the track. I have you got past that?

:03:47. > :03:49.When did it happen? I have not got past it, I would love to be

:03:50. > :03:59.competing and I would love to be keep competing on the track, rather

:04:00. > :04:04.than the rowing because of the weather! As the years go on you know

:04:05. > :04:11.you cannot even dream about it. I am well past that now as well. You live

:04:12. > :04:15.to other people's achievements. Giving you have a close connection

:04:16. > :04:20.with the rowers, you could still feel their success, almost like a

:04:21. > :04:25.paternal feeling of pride. I get a kick out of passing on the knowledge

:04:26. > :04:29.and passing it on to the next generation coming through. What

:04:30. > :04:34.happens with the next generation is they do it better than you were

:04:35. > :04:40.doing it because they have learnt from what you did and the generation

:04:41. > :04:43.before that. You are always looking for that improvement. Sport is in

:04:44. > :04:51.that situation and it will always get better. You were feeling proud

:04:52. > :04:56.for Callum Skinner, I know. We are heading back to live action and we

:04:57. > :04:58.have racing in progress at the moment. Chris Boardman and Simon

:04:59. > :05:19.Brotherton can tell us all about Francois Pervis is a two times world

:05:20. > :05:26.champion and a couple of years ago he looked unbeatable. All the riders

:05:27. > :05:39.are obliged to take these on-board cameras on and it adds an extra

:05:40. > :05:43.element for us. Given the hard work that goes into the aerodynamics and

:05:44. > :05:48.pursuits that the riders were, how much is that a factor when you put a

:05:49. > :05:52.camera on the bike? They neutralise it, they can put the camera wherever

:05:53. > :05:59.they want. Everybody chooses to put it at the back behind the leg so it

:06:00. > :06:05.does the least damage. It is 250 grams, though. Francois Pervis tries

:06:06. > :06:12.to force his opponent up the track and he gathers some height. Jeffry

:06:13. > :06:18.Hoogland will lead out the sprint, given no option by the French man.

:06:19. > :06:23.Has Francois Pervis got the power and the speed in his legs to close

:06:24. > :06:29.the gap on the Dutch man? He is slowly making inroads. This will be

:06:30. > :06:33.really exciting, the Dutch man on. And Francois Pervis, who was the

:06:34. > :06:41.world sprint champion in the last couple of years, has to go into the

:06:42. > :06:46.repechage already. Jeffry Hoogland wrote it well, but so did Francois

:06:47. > :06:50.Pervis. He forced him to lead out and he hurried away at him, but he

:06:51. > :06:57.just did not have the engine in the end to finish the job. He wrote it

:06:58. > :07:03.with the form he has not got, if you like, the form of the past. Jeffry

:07:04. > :07:11.Hoogland did his own thing, the stronger of the two. The action

:07:12. > :07:17.comes thick and fast on the track and the next race will be the last

:07:18. > :07:24.one in the first round. A sporting congratulations from the Frenchman

:07:25. > :07:31.to Jeffry Hoogland. We have got an old Kiwi affair here between two

:07:32. > :07:35.riders who rode as a team. They rode as the sprint World Championship

:07:36. > :07:44.team and now they are facing each other. Sam Webster is nearest the

:07:45. > :07:51.camera. He is up against Edward Dawkins. Riding on the same team

:07:52. > :07:56.they know each other well and this is the worst-case scenario for a

:07:57. > :08:02.nation, both of your riders riding each other. Webster wants to take

:08:03. > :08:06.the lead. He wants to get on with it as well. That is the quickest

:08:07. > :08:14.opening half lap we have seen so far in these sprints. Smarting from the

:08:15. > :08:21.team pursuit. They thought they would take it from Team GB. They did

:08:22. > :08:25.not do anything wrong, they rode to the level we expected from them.

:08:26. > :08:31.They were very quick, they did not bank on the British being quicker.

:08:32. > :08:36.It was an epic final. Webster is trying to control things. Both are

:08:37. > :08:43.in during these types sprinters, so they can do this. 200 metres to go

:08:44. > :08:51.and Webster will lead. Sam Webster is the Commonwealth sprint champion.

:08:52. > :08:58.He has control of this race. Very clean and a fast time because of the

:08:59. > :09:03.way they rode it. They wound it up very early, the pair of them.

:09:04. > :09:06.Webster was not hanging around. He stayed at the front and never showed

:09:07. > :09:14.any sign of relinquishing that position. A very assertive

:09:15. > :09:19.performance from him. Never allowed it to get tactical, kept it

:09:20. > :09:26.physical. Never let go of control of that one. There was nothing he could

:09:27. > :09:35.do. There we are, there is the result. The pair of them won a

:09:36. > :09:41.silver medal yesterday in the men's team sprint. I wonder whether

:09:42. > :09:46.Webster can go on and get involved in the hunt for the medals here in

:09:47. > :09:50.the next couple of days. The men's sprint competition is fairly strong

:09:51. > :09:56.out. A good crowd inside the velodrome. The centre of the track

:09:57. > :10:01.is a hive of activity. The British pen is in the middle of the picture

:10:02. > :10:11.and is right next to the Australian one. Next up it is the women's team

:10:12. > :10:17.sprint. CLARE BALDING: We will be back with that very shortly.

:10:18. > :10:25.What do Callum Skinner and Jason Kenny need to do tomorrow and

:10:26. > :10:31.Sunday. So far they have qualified first and second, which is

:10:32. > :10:37.incredible. Jason got the fastest time ever at sea level. The only

:10:38. > :10:42.time quicker was set at high altitude in Mexico. Callum Skinner

:10:43. > :10:48.went faster than Jason's previous record at London. They rode very

:10:49. > :10:53.tactically and astutely and they looked very calm and confident and

:10:54. > :10:57.these are the times when you can make mistakes, when you are a bit

:10:58. > :11:01.more relaxed, you switched off for a split second and you make a mistake,

:11:02. > :11:10.but they did not. They are perfectly so far. This is for the bronze medal

:11:11. > :11:12.in the women's team sprint. Unfortunately, the British team did

:11:13. > :11:20.not qualify and they are not involved at all.

:11:21. > :11:28.Anna Meares on the left of your picture gets things under way for

:11:29. > :11:35.Australia. The German duo were Olympic champions four years ago.

:11:36. > :11:41.Stephanie Morton won a gold medal in the Paralympics as a tandem pilot

:11:42. > :11:52.four years ago. A close changeover by the Australians. A solid ride

:11:53. > :12:01.from them. Who wants it most? So close? Germany get it on the line,

:12:02. > :12:09.but you can see how close it was. Australia just edged out by the

:12:10. > :12:13.blinking of an eye. Anna Meares got them off the blocks a full tenth of

:12:14. > :12:17.a second faster, which is enormous in this game. But what a finish by

:12:18. > :12:40.Germany to bring that home. Kristina Vogel is such a competitor.

:12:41. > :12:45.It was a great finish by her. She laid off an awful long way and I

:12:46. > :12:50.wonder whether she left too much work to do, but she was accelerating

:12:51. > :12:56.hard. She has real confidence to do that and it paid dividends. These

:12:57. > :13:10.riders averaging over 55 kilometres an hour. They barely had time to get

:13:11. > :13:20.the start sheet ready. China against Russia. The Russians are the world

:13:21. > :13:44.champions. The Chinese set a new world record in the last ride.

:13:45. > :13:54.If you thought Australia were unlucky to miss out on a medal, they

:13:55. > :14:08.were unlucky. The gold medal race in the women's team sprint. The

:14:09. > :14:12.Russians are working hard. It is hundreds of a second, but the

:14:13. > :14:20.Chinese got a slightly better start. They are leading by over a tenth of

:14:21. > :14:31.a second. The gold medal is on the line and less than half a lap to go.

:14:32. > :14:35.And China is going to take it. China IV Olympic champions. They thought

:14:36. > :14:39.they had won it four years ago in London, but they were disqualified.

:14:40. > :14:45.They felt they were robbed and the gold went to Germany. There will not

:14:46. > :14:46.be any arguing about this one. China have the gold and Russia have to

:14:47. > :14:57.settle for the silver. It was a fantastic final by them.

:14:58. > :15:04.Not their fastest ride, perhaps, but they did enough. The fatigue from

:15:05. > :15:07.these right answer, of course. They delivered when it matters. They

:15:08. > :15:11.didn't make mistakes under pressure this time, well-deserved, that one,

:15:12. > :15:15.to be honest, they've had so many small issues and technical

:15:16. > :15:18.infringements. World Championships, Olympic Games, but this time they

:15:19. > :15:24.brought it all together. This was a repeat of the World Championship

:15:25. > :15:28.final. When China were disqualified. I don't sense there was any question

:15:29. > :15:32.about this one. They were fast at the time as well, thought they had

:15:33. > :15:36.won, then saw it taken away from them, bitterly disappointed. They

:15:37. > :15:40.turned it around the menu that perform or was there, and built on

:15:41. > :15:46.it to go even faster here. -- knew that the former. The disappointment

:15:47. > :15:50.from Great Britain was not being here and taking part. It would have

:15:51. > :15:53.been a tall order to compete with these teams. Great Britain were

:15:54. > :15:58.fifth in the World Championship this year. Failed to qualify. It is China

:15:59. > :16:03.who take the honours in the women's team sprint.

:16:04. > :16:09.A lot of people in the cycling world will feel it is vindication for

:16:10. > :16:16.China having been relegated at the World Championships. Their coach is

:16:17. > :16:22.a Frenchman. Yes, he was a rider in the mid-90s, he coached the French,

:16:23. > :16:27.the Russians, now the Chinese coach. Lots of ex-riders go on to beat

:16:28. > :16:30.coaches, then change nations. Lots of cross pollination, lots of ideas

:16:31. > :16:34.and training knowledge gets spread around. It's why you often see the

:16:35. > :16:37.standard razors across-the-board, you don't often see one country

:16:38. > :16:43.getting a massive advantage because information gets spread around. I

:16:44. > :16:50.love to see the way they celebrate, brilliant. It's interesting, the

:16:51. > :17:00.contrast between the noise level here, and maybe Lagoa when you hear

:17:01. > :17:07.no crowd at all. You do your whole half an hour warm up in silence,

:17:08. > :17:10.your race of nearly 1800 metres, then there is a big noise at the

:17:11. > :17:14.end. By that time you are too exhausted to take it on board.

:17:15. > :17:18.Confirmation China to gold ahead of Russia who took silver and Germany

:17:19. > :17:23.kept Australia and Anna Meares out of the medals by taking bronze.

:17:24. > :17:28.Great Britain against Spain in the hockey, must win for Great Britain

:17:29. > :17:33.to progress. This is on BBC Four. This looks good, they've scored.

:17:34. > :17:39.They may have done. No, still 1-1. Eight minutes to go. It's on BBC

:17:40. > :17:44.Four if you want to watch. In tennis Gael Monfils and Kei Nishikori in

:17:45. > :17:52.the third set tie-break, for the rights to meet Andy Murray. It is

:17:53. > :17:58.match point to Monfils. He must have double faulted. 6-6, about to change

:17:59. > :18:03.ends. Its online if you want to watch that, we'll bring you an

:18:04. > :18:05.update as and when. Rafa Nadal in the semifinals, he meets Juan Martin

:18:06. > :18:11.Del Potro. Andy Murray beats Steve Johnson in a third set tie-break.

:18:12. > :18:15.The men beside me are here to hopefully witness Sir Bradley

:18:16. > :18:17.Wiggins becoming the most successful Olympian in British sporting

:18:18. > :18:19.history. Michael Johnson has been looking at what it takes to become

:18:20. > :18:28.the greatest. I want everybody out there on TV to

:18:29. > :18:32.know that I am the greatest. There are those who just tell you

:18:33. > :18:40.straight. You can't argue with that. For the rest of us, well, we need to

:18:41. > :18:44.define ourselves. The games combine the Greek strength and beauty. We're

:18:45. > :18:50.constantly measuring, comparing, contrasting. A champion needs great

:18:51. > :18:55.determination, and implacable will to win, killer instinct. That's the

:18:56. > :19:03.beauty of sport. Every age produces its heroes. So who is the greatest?

:19:04. > :19:08.Usain Bolt has blown them all away. History is being made. Carl Lewis. I

:19:09. > :19:14.was standing right on the top with a pretty gold medal. Amongst all these

:19:15. > :19:21.great one man stands out. He has made the 15th Olympic Games is. To

:19:22. > :19:26.the record books tell the true story? The champion becomes the

:19:27. > :19:33.legend. A new Olympic and world record. Mark Spitz won gold every

:19:34. > :19:38.time he swam in every event the world record was shattered. Michael

:19:39. > :19:45.Phelps's 22nd Olympic gold. The greatest British Olympian. If

:19:46. > :19:51.anybody sees me go anywhere near a boat, you have my permission to

:19:52. > :19:59.shoot me. What a great Olympian. Or is it about what touches us?

:20:00. > :20:15.Faultless. That is Olympic history. The emotion. Gold. A moment captured

:20:16. > :20:20.in time. I'm glad to have won the 100 metres here in Berlin, thank

:20:21. > :20:29.you. The debate goes on and on and on. But that is the beauty of sport.

:20:30. > :20:35.If we had all the answers, well, that would be no fun at all.

:20:36. > :20:41.I'm sure you saw last night Michael Phelps extended his lead at the top

:20:42. > :20:45.of the all-time extraordinary gold winning Olympians.

:20:46. > :20:51.22 golds for him, the next best is only an nine, it's ridiculous. What

:20:52. > :20:57.do you think the balances between growing older and the body starting

:20:58. > :21:03.to fail in ways you weren't expecting, and the brain starting to

:21:04. > :21:08.gain things? Hopefully the more experience you have, the more you

:21:09. > :21:13.get switched on to it. You become cleverer of how you train and

:21:14. > :21:19.prepare and race. The body may be slowing down in certain ways... You

:21:20. > :21:24.aren't able to produce as often, so you have to time it's better and

:21:25. > :21:27.train more sensibly. One of the things that used to happen with

:21:28. > :21:32.James Cracknell, he was ten years younger, he always wanted to be the

:21:33. > :21:36.best performance, every day. If you try to do that, you will fatigue

:21:37. > :21:40.over time, you have to come up, step down, each time you come up, you

:21:41. > :21:45.come up higher, you have to be smarter. Pick the times you are

:21:46. > :21:51.going to have your performance. Maybe that is where Bradley Wiggins

:21:52. > :21:55.is getting smarter. He knew another 5-10 years trying to compete in the

:21:56. > :21:57.Tour de France would have psychologically and physically been

:21:58. > :22:03.more than enough for him whereas the track was like a change was as good

:22:04. > :22:07.as a rest. He's come back refreshed, enjoying it. He seems so relaxed,

:22:08. > :22:12.you can see the weight of the world on his shoulders in 2012. He was

:22:13. > :22:17.excelling at that point, but at the same time now you see him, he's a

:22:18. > :22:21.happier man. This was him winning the time trial in London. He said

:22:22. > :22:26.there wouldn't be much that could match what he did in that summer. It

:22:27. > :22:32.was only ten days after he had won the Tour de France. He is a man who

:22:33. > :22:36.has so much focus, so much concentration, for all the glib

:22:37. > :22:39.humour, he's a massive historian of sport. He loves watching and

:22:40. > :22:43.listening to other sports. He'll be really glad you are here, both of

:22:44. > :22:47.you are here, obviously Chris. He will expect you to be here, he won't

:22:48. > :22:53.expect Steve to be here. He's disappearing underneath to do... Off

:22:54. > :22:59.to the loo probably. I started to ask that question and thought, don't

:23:00. > :23:04.as is the answer. That was fine. He'll be thrilled you are here. When

:23:05. > :23:09.you relive your career, did you realise in the moment of winning

:23:10. > :23:13.your fifth gold medal it wasn't just another race, wasn't even just

:23:14. > :23:17.another Olympics? It was a slice of real history. You are not really

:23:18. > :23:21.aware at the time, you are in your own little bubble, concentrating on

:23:22. > :23:27.what you do, talking about the processes of getting to that point.

:23:28. > :23:31.Nerves kick in, used to suffer nerves the day before, certainly the

:23:32. > :23:34.morning of. Once you got to the hour before, that is where you meet by

:23:35. > :23:39.the boat, chat through tactics one more time, 35 minutes before you put

:23:40. > :23:43.hands on the boat, put it on there, then you are in your domain, I

:23:44. > :23:48.imagine it's similar. Waiting around is the thing you can't practice.

:23:49. > :23:51.Being on a bike, in about, it's what you can practice. Once there, you

:23:52. > :24:00.know you are in your element, and you can do it. How close this race

:24:01. > :24:05.was, I was pretty confident from 250 metres out, almost the whole course,

:24:06. > :24:11.totally in control of that. We thought we should win by a little

:24:12. > :24:16.bit more, but Slovenia who finished fourth did the fastest 500 of all of

:24:17. > :24:20.us, so they pushed the Australians, the Australians pushed the

:24:21. > :24:23.Italians... If you look at it closely the Italians don't look

:24:24. > :24:27.around to us at all, they are looking at what's happening behind

:24:28. > :24:33.them, that is my take anyway. You made it, though, and it was huge, a

:24:34. > :24:38.massive moment. For you, Chris, you got your swansong in London in front

:24:39. > :24:45.of a home crowd. Dix gold medal. I couldn't have asked for more. --

:24:46. > :24:50.sixth. It was my final race, final Olympics in front of a home crowd. I

:24:51. > :24:53.was purely trying to focus on performance, not dwell on the

:24:54. > :24:58.consequences of winning or losing, fear of failure, thought of success.

:24:59. > :25:03.When you crossed the line, that is when the emotion hits you. The

:25:04. > :25:07.podium ceremony, I mean, didn't even get onto the podium before I started

:25:08. > :25:11.crying, I had this massive lump in my throat, couldn't contain the

:25:12. > :25:17.emotions. You behave in a logical, controlled almost robotic manner to

:25:18. > :25:21.block out all the distractions, not big emotionally, behave emotionally.

:25:22. > :25:26.When you finish you can let it out, you can enjoy it, so cut the

:25:27. > :25:28.atmosphere. The noise, just that electricity inside the London

:25:29. > :25:34.stadium was like nothing I'd ever experienced. I wonder, with Bradley

:25:35. > :25:39.tonight, we won't see any emotion until after the race. Whether it may

:25:40. > :25:43.come flooding out. Are you expecting him, is this the last ever race for

:25:44. > :25:47.him, not expecting him to retire? I'll be surprised if he has a

:25:48. > :25:52.massive emotional release tonight, he'll continue racing next year.

:25:53. > :25:55.He's seeing this as another stepping stone. Maybe trying to play it down,

:25:56. > :26:02.treating it that way to deal with the pressure. I see a man who is

:26:03. > :26:07.very much in control, very calm. He has one aim, to win this gold medal,

:26:08. > :26:10.nothing else will do. You don't sense he's got pressure on his

:26:11. > :26:14.shoulders, is going to fulfil his team role, has confidence in his

:26:15. > :26:18.team-mates. Fingers crossed he can do it. One of the secret to

:26:19. > :26:23.longevity, it may be true for both of you, he loves the idea he's doing

:26:24. > :26:27.things nobody else is doing. He loves it when he's in the gym

:26:28. > :26:32.earlier than anyone else, when he was young, riding to Kent for

:26:33. > :26:36.Christmas lunch with his family, knowing nobody else was doing that.

:26:37. > :26:40.It's a little bit of him that just likes to be different. He does like

:26:41. > :26:48.to be different, that's what I love about him in some ways. It's about

:26:49. > :26:53.the process. If you start thinking about what this means in history,

:26:54. > :26:56.your own career, what he will do next, it's taking away from what you

:26:57. > :27:00.are doing here and now and you need to have every bone in your body,

:27:01. > :27:06.every muscle, tuned in to doing it now. It's all about the here and now

:27:07. > :27:11.and what happens after will happen. The great champions are very much

:27:12. > :27:15.able to switch into that zone and think the next couple of minutes,

:27:16. > :27:20.what I'm going to do, where I will sit, what routine I will go through,

:27:21. > :27:23.before they go through it. You are running an automatic. You've got to

:27:24. > :27:27.have that type, the excitement of the event you are in, to be able to

:27:28. > :27:31.get the extra performance out. Doesn't matter how hard you pushing

:27:32. > :27:35.training, you have to push yourself in training, you can always push

:27:36. > :27:42.harder in a race situation. An extreme form of mindfulness. It is,

:27:43. > :27:45.also an element of realising you will hurt yourself, you go out there

:27:46. > :27:49.and it would be painful. If it's a world record and you are beating the

:27:50. > :27:54.other team, all four British riders will be on the limit of what they

:27:55. > :28:03.can physically deal with, what they are capable of tolerating. If that

:28:04. > :28:06.makes sense. Yes. It almost scares you when you go out there, you are

:28:07. > :28:11.about to compete, pain can be a big part of it. You block it out, you

:28:12. > :28:16.don't think about the consequences of winning or losing, anything, it's

:28:17. > :28:21.what can I do, what is the process of my job here? Do it to the best of

:28:22. > :28:26.your ability. It is painful. Journalists love to talk about

:28:27. > :28:31.sacrifice, pain and hurt. That is what winning Olympic medals is all

:28:32. > :28:35.about. Being at the peak of performance. You know it's going to

:28:36. > :28:40.hurt, it's part of the DNA of what you do. You're not looking for it,

:28:41. > :28:44.beforehand you hope it'll be an easy path through. In fact, you know you

:28:45. > :28:49.have to do it. It's in the back of your mind. The tougher the race the

:28:50. > :28:56.bigger the situation, the more you switch after that. You think, in my

:28:57. > :28:58.circumstances, two boat side-by-side, its stroke for stroke,

:28:59. > :29:02.you think about moving your boat better than the others. You don't

:29:03. > :29:07.think about the pain. Sometimes it digs in a little bit. The mindset

:29:08. > :29:12.going into that is, it's hurting me, we are favourites to win, what it's

:29:13. > :29:15.doing to them? It must be killing them. It gives you a boost. That is

:29:16. > :29:18.where the Great Britain team, we should stress it's not all about

:29:19. > :29:23.Bradley Wiggins, he's not the strongest member of that team in

:29:24. > :29:28.many ways, but Ed Clancy, Owain Doull, Steven Burke as well, they

:29:29. > :29:32.have set a world record getting to this gold medal race, they are

:29:33. > :29:35.feeling fantastic. They didn't have to break the world record second

:29:36. > :29:39.round, they only had to win their heat, to have gone that quick shows

:29:40. > :29:42.they have the confidence. I reckon they will go at least a second

:29:43. > :29:48.quicker in the final. They may or may not need to. When they start

:29:49. > :29:53.getting close to the Australians... If they can get close enough,

:29:54. > :30:00.slipstreaming them, they might even catch them. It's probably a tall

:30:01. > :30:04.order, we'll wait and see. We'll show you that race on BBC One. To

:30:05. > :30:13.bring you the latest on the hockey on BBC Four. It's just finished. It

:30:14. > :30:18.has finished 1-1. It means... I think it has anyway, unless Great

:30:19. > :30:25.Britain score here. They hit the post. In the very last second. It's

:30:26. > :30:29.finished 1-1. Spain celebrate because Great Britain are in big

:30:30. > :30:38.trouble there. Almost certain not to progress. In the tennis, Nishikori

:30:39. > :30:44.against Gael Monfils. The winner of this match will meet Andy Murray.

:30:45. > :30:50.Monfils had match point on the server, but he handed victory to Kei

:30:51. > :30:54.Nishikori. Japan having a very good Olympics. The fans will be out in

:30:55. > :31:00.force to cheer on Kei Nishikori against Andy Murray. We're heading

:31:01. > :31:05.to BBC One because it will be the build-up to the gold medal race. Sir

:31:06. > :31:09.Bradley Wiggins and his team in the team pursuit final. We have an awful

:31:10. > :31:11.lot more action to come. The velodrome is already humming with

:31:12. > :31:13.activity and excitement. You're coming across as, frankly,

:31:14. > :31:18.ridiculous. I'm flabbergasted by that.

:31:19. > :31:21.Will they get burnt... You have done an appalling job of

:31:22. > :31:25.selling them online. Erm...
