the men's final. Can Andy Murray retain his Olympic title from four | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
years ago? It will be available at 7:30pm UK time tomorrow, but there | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
are two doubles finals before that so it might push it back a little | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
bit or it might get done quickly and it will be on early, who knows? | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
7:30pm is the time. It is time we brought you some live | :00:16. | :00:34. | |
hockey on BBC Four. Tate Britain's women have been unbeatable as have | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
the USA. The two face each other tonight and that is the game we will | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
show you. Both with 12 points and 100% record from four matches. This | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
match is still crucial. Depend on where you finish in the grip, that | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
affects your drawing the quarterfinals. Let us go live to the | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
National hockey Stadium. It is just started so we can say hello to the | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
commentary team that will take you through the match. , two Great | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Britain and already attacking the gold to the left. The United States | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
of America are top of the group but on goal difference only. Just a | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
couple of minutes into this first period. Giselle Ansley Heather -- | :01:25. | :01:40. | |
has had a really good tournament so far backed up by the age Spears | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
Crista Cullen, wearing -- winning her 100th cap for Great Britain this | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
evening. It will be a free hit for Great Britain. Kate Richardson-Walsh | :01:52. | :02:03. | |
is the captain. I am expecting this game to be physical. I am hoping | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
both umpires will let the play happened. It is setup to be | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
fantastic. The USA beat Great Britain in the champions Trophy | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
recently. The USA coach used to coach Great Britain and he will know | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
the strengths and weaknesses of the British team so it'll be interesting | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
to see how this pans out. That was a beautiful delivery and the backhand | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
shot was just wide. Good start for the USA. Katie Bam has been a player | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
of the tournament and has been scoring the goals for the USA. It | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
was a long ball into the circle. She picks it up well, onto the backhand. | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
An early wake-up call for Great Britain. They will know all about | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Katie Bam and the rest of the Americans. Katie Bam showing what | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
she is capable of with the first serious attack of the half. Add a | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
chance for Townsend, one of the best players in the world. She has real | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
peace. -- she's really Alexandra Danson time to recover way | :03:12. | :03:25. | |
into the circle. The USA cup away with possession. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
She will know that Alex lives to put the ball up into the air on the end | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
of a stick. She did not rush in, user experience and won the free hit | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
413. -- for her team. The Americans appealed for a penalty | :03:41. | :03:54. | |
corner and desperate defending. Great Britain get away with it | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
again. I think Amber Church of the umpire did well to play and | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
advantage. It is Katie Bam that is getting the ball in the circle. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Arguably it was dangerous and everybody was appealing for the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
corner. It was Melissa Gonzalez with the snapshot. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Very impressive start for the team from the USA. Hollie Webb having to | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
defend once again. Aiming for Alexandra Danson. The USA | :04:24. | :04:39. | |
break forward again. Giselle Ansley doing lots of work in | :04:40. | :04:56. | |
the early stages. The Americans once again inside the British circle. The | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
pressure has been relieved for the moment. The USA have hit the ground | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
running and got into their stride much quicker than Great Britain have | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
at the moment. Prepare to press up the field. We know that Great | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
Britain have got aerial ability from both halfbacks from Giselle Ansley | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
and Crista Cullen. Two sisters on the side for the USA. Sophie Bray | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
was in a promising position but she was tackled quickly. | :05:33. | :05:48. | |
Good control by Villarreal 's Lee. -- Lili Al 's Lee. | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
The USA are shot with their tackling. Beautiful piece of skill | :06:00. | :06:11. | |
by Owsley with the ball in the. To change direction. For anyone | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
watching this who thinks the USA could not play at this intensity and | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
tempo red Tory presents a prize. This is one of the fittest teams in | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
the world. Watching the warm up routine, unlike any other team. It | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
was a serious work-out on the field. Good juggling skills from Sophie | :06:30. | :06:53. | |
Bray and keeps Britain in possession. | :06:54. | :07:05. | |
So important when Great Britain played the ball into a marked | :07:06. | :07:42. | |
player, they must know what they are doing with the ball next. | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
That was a good move from Sam Quek. Little shuffle inside. That was | :07:50. | :08:13. | |
obstruction. Good skill from Sam Quek to book -- pull the ball inside | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
Kathleen Sharkey. The speed of the USA forwards means that Sam was not | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
given much time on the ball. That came off the shins of Michelle | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Vittese. Good steel by Sam Quek. That was | :08:26. | :08:49. | |
physical from Sam Quek. Goodness me. Calm down says the umpire. It was | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
good to see she was allowing this to happen. That was a good tackle on | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
Shona McCallin. Sam Quek will shoulder to shoulder. | :09:04. | :09:17. | |
Certainly hoping the game continues to be played at this intensity. | :09:18. | :09:42. | |
That was intercepted by the alert Kate Richardson-Walsh. Gonzales | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
comes forward again. Five minutes left in the first | :09:45. | :10:14. | |
quarter. First penalty corner of the game | :10:15. | :10:37. | |
goes to Great Britain. That was a fantastic ball in from Helen | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
Richardson-Walsh to find Alexandra Danson at the top of the circle. She | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
rolls around Julia Reinprecht. Obstruction given an first real | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
opportunity for Great Britain this evening. The team are in a huddle | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
host of the Americans get the extra padding and face masks on. Georgie | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
Twigg will inject for Great Britain. Kate Richardson-Walsh, number 11 and | :11:03. | :11:15. | |
Crista Cullen is number five. Lined up with an eye on goal. The first | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
penalty corner. It is Crista Cullen and that was a good save. I am | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
sensing the ball hit Jackie Briggs in goal rather than humbling | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
anything about it. It doesn't matter how you keep the ball out, I think | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
it came off the top of her helmet. That struck the American on her | :11:33. | :11:54. | |
arrest and that hurt. Good tackle by Sam Quek. | :11:55. | :12:12. | |
We're going to see this a lot from Great Britain, they do favour | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
attacking down the right than the left. They still need to work the | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
ball around to the left and pull the USA over before attacking that way. | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
It is a free hit on the 23 for Great Britain. | :12:32. | :12:47. | |
Sustained pressure by the USA in the first five minutes of the quarter. | :12:48. | :13:05. | |
Since then, my mentor has switched. The team in red has dominated the | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
attacking manoeuvres. This has been a lot of possession for both teams | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
up until the 23 yard line and the defence is kicking in. It is not | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
surprised that the Britain have only conceded three in four games, as has | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
the USA. They have had good team defence all tournament. | :13:26. | :13:43. | |
Sam Quek has been sent for a two-minute suspension. Great Britain | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
are one player down. It is probably a green card but there has been | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
worse happening in the scheme. She has given it for the sticks another | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
near. It is 50-50 and they have both done it. It is a soft green card by | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
the umpire. She has deemed that week and Sam Quek has had to the | :14:11. | :14:11. | |
punishment. Alexandra Danson gets the penalty | :14:12. | :14:24. | |
corner. She turned, still of the American food and forced the ball | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
onto that foot. Penalty corner is the outcome. -- foot. You do get | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
worried you will be hit with the stick on the follow-through. Katelyn | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
Falgowski is trying to protect her feet and she ran the ball into the | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
stick and it popped up onto the body and the second penalty of the game. | :14:46. | :14:57. | |
Crista Cullen and Giselle Ansley are the likely targets. | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
The second penalty corner for Great Britain. Good save again, excellent | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
goalkeeping so far by Jackie Briggs. She has been in brilliant form and | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
this tournament, she has been better from the champions Trophy until now, | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
she has improved massively. Miscommunication from Crista Cullen | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
and Alexandra Danson. Just one minute to play until the first | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
break. it will be on early, who knows? | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
7:30pm is the time. Bitterness the Americans have played | :15:36. | :15:49. | |
four and one for. Beat Argentina and Australia, thrust Japan and beat | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
India 3-0. The USA with 12 points out of a possible 12. The same for | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
Great Britain. They defeated Argentina in a tight match, 3-2 and | :16:03. | :16:10. | |
came through with are the -- a rather modest scoreline against | :16:11. | :16:11. | |
Japan, 2-0 in the end. Last 15 seconds of the 15 minute | :16:12. | :16:28. | |
quarter. It has been a very interesting start. Plenty to enjoy, | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
good entertainment for a reasonable crowd on page one this evening. But | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
the hooter will take us to the the end of the first quarter. 15 minutes | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
played, 0-0. DAN WALKER: We shall be back up the | :16:44. | :16:59. | |
hockey very shortly, 0-0 between Britain and the USA. We will be back | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
for the second period. From our base here in Copacabana, let's show you | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
what else is on land available for you across the BBC. So much good | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
sport. On BBC One, the track cycling, currently in the men's | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
sprint. I think Jason Kenny has just made it through. You can follow that | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
on BBC One now. Callum Skinner is the man to go next. On the Red | :17:24. | :17:33. | |
Button, it's the final of the women's gold-medal match, this is | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
Angelique Kerber against Monica Puig. Andy Murray will face Juan | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
Martin Del Potro tomorrow in the men's gold-medal match. Let's see if | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
Monica Puig can take first set. She is at two set points in the first | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
set. Angelique Kerber, the Wimbledon champion, she managed to knockout | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Heather Watson earlier in the tennis. Monica Puig Porto Rico, who | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
have never won a gold medal. -- from Puerto Rico. You can watch that on | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
the Red Button if you fancy that. Let's show you what is coming up | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
over the next few hours on BBC Four. You will have do -- we will struggle | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
to keep your attention, there's so much going on. We have the hockey, | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
we will be following that very shortly for you. Joe Joyce in action | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
in the men's superheavy boxing. I am hearing there are some members of | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
the basketball Dream Team watching the boxing. That is later for you. | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
Athletics and midnight is the heptathlon javelin with Jessica | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
Ennis-Hill and Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Then at one a.m., | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
it is the men's long jump final, involving Greg Rutherford. This is a | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
repeat of Super Saturday four years ago. Then Mo Farah in the 10,000m at | :19:00. | :19:09. | |
1:30am your time. And if you can stay up until nearly three a.m., it | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
is the final event in the athletics. The heptathlon 800m final, it could | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
be another one of those Saturdays. At that moment of crossing the line | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
and having my family there. Just knowing that I put all those events | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
together, it had all gone right. Pure excitement and shock and | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
relief, an amazing feeling. Let's get straight back to the hockey. | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
Super Saturday continues, BBC One will have all of the athletics for | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
you later but we are sticking with the hockey on BBC Four. Back to Mel | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
and Matt. Early in the second period here. | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
Sophie Bray had a very good chance to put Great Britain 1-0 up in the | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
first minute of the quarter, but she forced a brilliant save from Jackie | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
Briggs, really promising start to the period for Great Britain. In | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
towards the circle again, turn, almost fell for Hannah MacLeod but | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
the penalty corner has been awarded. Mistake from the USA, they allow | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
Georgie Twigg to run with the ball, spins the ball onto Rachel Dawson's | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
left foot. This is the Sophie Bray opportunity. She intercepts, | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
beautiful little lift over the stick and that is a fantastic stick save | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
from Jackie Briggs. Sensational. Preparations continue, the usual | :20:46. | :21:00. | |
suspects, Crista Cullen, Kate Richardson-Walsh. Georgie Twigg with | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
the injection. Unsworth traps. Kate Richardson-Walsh can't find a way | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
through. Another attempt and another penalty corner. This might be | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
referred for possibly being too high. | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
UMPIRE: Can you check it for me please? A video referral for the | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
USA, you only get one of these. If it is upheld, you keep your | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
referral, if it is rejected, you lose it. This came off her shin pad, | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
didn't it? It has come off the stick, it if it is above her knee. | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
It does seem to be the case. Ball was dangerous so every hit to the | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
USA and they keep their referral. OK, thank you. No penalty corner for | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
the Great Britain team, who now hurry back into position. It is | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
upheld and so the United States of America keep that video referral | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
option. It can go up -- they can go upstairs again later in the match if | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
they need to. Owsley has won it and sets up Susannah Townsend, who | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
doesn't get a lucky bounce at all. The United States able to reset with | :22:31. | :22:40. | |
Gonzalez on the left. Good steel. -- steal. Cullum, deep inside the US's | :22:41. | :22:56. | |
23. Trying to open something up -- Crista Cullen. Nicola White takes it | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
to the corner. White tries to find Townsend but the USA steel and set | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
off at pace down the left, but only as far as Hollie Webb -- steal. GB | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
have done well to double-team the ball carrier from the USA. As yet, | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
the USA haven't really got out of their hearts so far. GB have | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
increased the intensity at which they are playing and it has caused | :23:22. | :23:33. | |
the USA a few problems. That blew up off the stick and court Crista | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
Cullen, I think. Her glove protected her. | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
Nice little reverse. In towards the circle. Nicola White claiming she | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
was impeded but the USA get position. GB are getting a lot of | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
success out of just attacking the 45 degrees angle of the USA circle, so | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
they are not coming in at the top, not going in at the baseline. The | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
USA need to smarten up at that otherwise it is going to cost them. | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
Vitesse, number nine for the USA. Watched all the way by Georgie | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
Twigg. She did well. Fines Hannah MacLeod, who find Sophie Bray. -- | :24:21. | :24:31. | |
finds. The test takes it on. And the pass falls almost kindly for Nicola | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
White. It is Great Britain's possession, taken on acquitted by | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
Lily Owsley. Covering a lot of ground and she has played that with | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
a nice weight. The keeper kicks it away first time. The USA escape. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
Lily Owsley did really well, because at the time of her driving from left | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
to right, Hannah MacLeod was making a substitution, so she didn't have | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
any support. It was a great lift over Rachel Dawson's stick. | :25:02. | :25:11. | |
No score here in the final match of Pool B. Ten minutes until the | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
half-time break. Gonzalez absolutely flattened by | :25:19. | :25:31. | |
Nicola White, might get a yellow card for this. No, it's green. | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
Two-minute suspension for Nicola White. I think it is because it is | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
the second or third offence that Nicola White has had in the last few | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
minutes, so it is probably a build-up of fouls Rock, rather than | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
that as an individual one. -- of fouls. | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
The USA stuck in the circle. Georgie Twigg takes it right to the flag. In | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
no rush to get out of there. Fines are British foot and from Britain's | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
point of view, here we go again. Calm under pressure. | :26:26. | :26:43. | |
Georgie Twigg leaves it this time for Owsley. Back to web. Over two | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
some correct on the interception. Promising move forward -- over to | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
Sam Quek. Potential scoring position. Needs to be driven in. | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
I think at the moment, Great Britain, when they are working their | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
way out of defence, they are too predictable, getting the ball from | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
one side of the feel to the other and playing the ball down the | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
sideline. I would like to see them, when the ball gets to Giselle Ansley | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
or Sam Quek, playing as outside offenders, they are looking in feel | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
to the screen players, so Shona McCallin first or Laura and sweat, | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
so you are looking to exploit them inside. Great skill from Kate | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
Richardson-Walsh to get herself out of that but now there are American | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
players everywhere. A little bit more of a shoulder charge from Sam | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
Quek. She has done it a couple of times and got away with it. Great | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
Britain breaking forward. Some shirt pulling going on, unseen by the | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
umpire. Alexandra Danson into the corner. Good service from | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
Richardson-Walsh. Danson plays it back and makes their way to the | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
circle as Great Britain switch sides. | :28:12. | :28:24. | |
Forward-thinking, still, Great Britain. Picked up and controlled | :28:25. | :28:31. | |
nicely by Owsley. Looking for Danson. Shooting chance. Double save | :28:32. | :28:41. | |
from Jackie Briggs, who seems unstoppable tonight. Lily Owsley is | :28:42. | :28:48. | |
about to pick up a card, a green one, for the diving and probably the | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
stick tackle. Again, for me, it is a little bit harsh, she is trying to | :28:54. | :29:01. | |
play the replay. She here, it is just narration, she swung at the | :29:02. | :29:04. | |
stick, trying to get a shot at goal and she has two minutes on the | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
sideline as a result of it and again, Jackie Briggs is in | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
phenomenal form. Good move down the left. Shona McCallin actually loses | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
out and the United States can rebuild from the back. | :29:20. | :29:35. | |
And that is, there we go, she thought about it and the church. | :29:36. | :29:47. | |
Green card produced for Katie Bam, who will have a two-minute | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
suspension, tangling with the Great Britain captain Kate | :29:53. | :29:53. | |
Richardson-Walsh, who went down quite heavily. I think that is | :29:54. | :30:00. | |
probably a shoulder to shoulder too far but I have to say, I think the | :30:01. | :30:03. | |
umpires have got it spot on this evening. They have allowed a certain | :30:04. | :30:08. | |
amount ago and when they feel it has bubbled over, they have sent | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
somebody to the side. Both teams to the player on the bench at the | :30:13. | :30:14. | |
moment. Lauren Crandall is the captain of | :30:15. | :30:26. | |
the United States. Michelle Beattie is -- Michelle | :30:27. | :31:07. | |
Vittese has came of age. She has got better and better with each | :31:08. | :31:09. | |
tournament. She is so fast through the midfield. | :31:10. | :31:40. | |
Kate Richardson-Walsh is coming forward to join in the fun. Some | :31:41. | :31:53. | |
confusion as to where the ball needs to be placed for the free hit. Good | :31:54. | :32:04. | |
to go now. Through the legs of the American player, that was confident | :32:05. | :32:06. | |
by Kate Richardson-Walsh. We knew this would be tight between | :32:07. | :32:24. | |
the best two teams in the tournament so far. And so it has proved. No | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
goals and three minutes until half-time. | :32:31. | :33:02. | |
We know that a draw is good enough for the USA to remain on top of the | :33:03. | :33:10. | |
group because of goal difference. As the game progresses, I can not see | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
personally, but they could be happy to settle for the draw. As GB press | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
for to get the goal, it will leave the space at the back potentially | :33:20. | :33:21. | |
for the USA to exploit. That was a potential shooting | :33:22. | :34:13. | |
opportunity but it has come and gone for Great Britain for the moment. | :34:14. | :34:29. | |
Sowing and a miss from Georgie Twigg and the danger is over for the USA. | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
It was given for the fit but I am not sure. Well taken by Georgie | :34:37. | :34:41. | |
Twigg to take it quickly. I do note that Owsley put her off. She took a | :34:42. | :34:49. | |
quick shot to the Jews the amount of backswing jihad. Can Great Britain | :34:50. | :34:55. | |
build one more meaningful moves towards that American goal and head | :34:56. | :34:57. | |
to half-time with the advantage? Usually absorbing half of hockey. No | :34:58. | :35:31. | |
goals but plenty to enjoy and plenty to be discussed during the half-time | :35:32. | :35:35. | |
break. The final ten seconds of play. They will be level at | :35:36. | :35:48. | |
half-time. 30 minutes played with 30 minutes to come. The scoreline here | :35:49. | :35:53. | |
in this final group match is much as expected. No goals, Great Britain | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
0-0 USA. It is tense and tight and we will be | :35:57. | :36:06. | |
back for the second half. This is significant even though both Great | :36:07. | :36:09. | |
Britain and the United States of America happy 100% record so far. 12 | :36:10. | :36:15. | |
points from four games. This does dictate who goes where in the | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
quarterfinals and potentially who can make it all the way towards | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
those Olympic medals. We shall do the men going out last night. Great | :36:24. | :36:27. | |
Britain's women doing supremely well considering what happened to the | :36:28. | :36:32. | |
men. They were so disappointed, we shall do their final match live | :36:33. | :36:36. | |
yesterday and heartache for them but making it through to the knockout | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
stages of the hockey tournament. We promised Ruby Walsh will use in | :36:41. | :36:46. | |
golf. It is round three of the first Olympic golf tournament for over 100 | :36:47. | :36:50. | |
years. They have been playing about ten miles down the coast from there | :36:51. | :36:57. | |
we are. The course is brand-new. It is about 60 minutes in Rio traffic. | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
We will show you the highlights from Day three. Tomorrow is when the | :37:04. | :37:09. | |
medals are handed out. Josh and Rose started four shot of the lead held | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
by Marcus Fraser. Jason Day and Adam Scott Australia did not come to the | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
other begins and that has been an issue for a number of the top | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
golfers, Rory McIlroy and others on that list. Justin Rose has embraced | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
the Olympic spirit. He turned up for the golf started and went to a | :37:28. | :37:33. | |
number of events. He has knuckled down and concentrated. Henrik | :37:34. | :37:38. | |
Stenson also in with a shout, the open champion. He started the day | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
close to Marcus Fraser, he was 10-under, Justin Rose was 6-under. | :37:43. | :37:49. | |
This is the story of the golf today. COMMENTATOR: Justin Rose on the | :37:50. | :37:58. | |
third hole. It is a par four, it is driveable but the wind has picked | :37:59. | :38:03. | |
up. Brownlie she goes. Round of the Cup. | :38:04. | :38:10. | |
This man is making lots of markers. A hole in one on day one. And a lap | :38:11. | :38:21. | |
of honour on the third Andy two. It is his Rose garden. Justin Rose on | :38:22. | :38:30. | |
the fifth. This is for an eagle to get to 10-under and to take the | :38:31. | :38:37. | |
outright lead. He drops it. That is the par. That is what he has to make | :38:38. | :38:47. | |
more of. Britain's Justin Rose leads the Olympic men's individual stroke | :38:48. | :38:48. | |
play on his own at 10-under par. It looks good, it looks really good. | :38:49. | :38:55. | |
How good is that? He left the of long putts out on the | :38:56. | :39:27. | |
course yesterday and he was to make more today. He is making them from | :39:28. | :39:34. | |
off the green, Justin Rose of Great Britain, he extends his lead in the | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
Olympic men's individual stroke play Championship. His lead is two shot, | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
11-under par. Justin Rose, can he get up and down | :39:42. | :39:58. | |
on 14? He needs this. He flirted with that left lip. Marcus Fraser | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
makes a birdie, just behind it Justin Rose who drops one shot. It | :40:05. | :40:11. | |
was a birdie chance to go to 11-under. It does not move a great | :40:12. | :40:18. | |
deal. Justin Rose looks good. He has got it. Justin Rose leads by one | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
shot. Henrik Stenson is chasing him. Just a little bit concerned with the | :40:24. | :40:52. | |
wind. It is swirling around the golf course. It is a strong now as it has | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
been all day. In fact it is stronger now than it was this morning. | :40:58. | :41:07. | |
It is brilliant. It was worth the deliberation. Brilliant from Henrik | :41:08. | :41:20. | |
This putt for birdie to go level with Justin Rose. | :41:21. | :41:43. | |
He makes the putt. He takes the step after halfway along as Jonah, he | :41:44. | :41:54. | |
knows it is good, 11-under par. Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose are | :41:55. | :41:55. | |
leading. Good solid putt from Justin Rose and | :41:56. | :42:23. | |
claims the 1-stroke lead over Henrik Stenson who has made a birdie. | :42:24. | :42:33. | |
Justin Rose goes to 12-under. Henrik Stenson, this putt for birdie on 16. | :42:34. | :42:39. | |
To draw level with Britain's Justin Rose. Henrik Stenson from Sweden. | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
For the birdie on 16. That is a chance missed for Henrik | :42:46. | :43:04. | |
Stenson. He makes par on 16. Henrik Stenson referred to the last. | :43:05. | :43:13. | |
That is good, it holds, it bites. Wetlands and it stop. Henrik Stenson | :43:14. | :43:20. | |
will be applauded by the gallery if he makes that. He will be level with | :43:21. | :43:27. | |
Justin Rose. It should be a titanic shoot out over 18 holes between two | :43:28. | :43:33. | |
offers that have put themselves well clear of anyone else in the field | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
bark Marcus Fraser who will be three backend. Henrik Stenson still needs | :43:38. | :43:44. | |
to make the putt. This is now a birdie putt. To draw level with | :43:45. | :43:51. | |
Justin Rose and slips by at the top side. That is to make par. He | :43:52. | :44:00. | |
finishes Jim McDonnell, Henrik Stenson. 68. -- three under. | :44:01. | :44:10. | |
They do show you how things stand going into the final day tomorrow. | :44:11. | :44:17. | |
Justin Rose is top, one shot clear of the open champion Henrik Stenson. | :44:18. | :44:22. | |
Marcus Fraser is one shot back from where he started the day. Perfect on | :44:23. | :44:29. | |
the first two days. 9-under par. Then it is six shots back to Bubba | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
Watson of the USA. Justin Rose is a great position and he has embraced | :44:34. | :44:38. | |
the Olympic Games. He will be leading the way going into the final | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
round tomorrow. We will bring you the conclusion of that somewhere on | :44:43. | :44:47. | |
the BBC, hopefully on BBC Four as a helicopter goes overhead. That'll be | :44:48. | :44:54. | |
around seven or eight tomorrow. One other thing to show you from the | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
golf today. We do not recommend you do this if you find one of these | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
anywhere near you on the golf course. Henrik Stenson was having a | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
stroll in the final few rounds of his round today. He decided to | :45:08. | :45:15. | |
jabber a crocodile with his pitching wedge. He beat a hasty retreat and | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
the check over his shoulder just in case the crocodile was coming out of | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
the water. The dangers of the golf. Thank you for so many messages | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
tonight. I will be delighted if Justin Rose can win a medal, it has | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
been fantastic that he has embraced the other begins. How on earth can I | :45:34. | :45:39. | |
stay up tonight? I think I am going to sleep between recycling and | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
athletics. I should be out at the pub but my wife says I have to stay | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
and and watch BBC Four. Thank you for that, Darren. And also, my own | :45:50. | :45:56. | |
wife has said, I will not be watching you tonight because there | :45:57. | :46:00. | |
is cycling and athletics on the other channel. Thank you for your | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
support. For those of you who are heard on BBC Four, we love you very | :46:05. | :46:11. | |
much. And George North has also tweeted this evening, he is the | :46:12. | :46:14. | |
boyfriend of Becky James who won the Silver Medal in the Caven, what | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
cannot describe how proud I am, everything she has been true, what | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
an absolute hero. If you know the story of Becky James why that is | :46:24. | :46:28. | |
incredible. She had the cancer scare. She has had a number of | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
injuries. She thought cycling had gone but she has came back and went | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
to these games and won an Olympic medal and she makes the Rio | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
headlines. Gold in the team pursuit for the | :46:40. | :46:49. | |
women, they have done it again, and they have done it with a new world | :46:50. | :46:54. | |
record, Laura Trott, Joanna Rowsell, Katie Archibald. There is Becky | :46:55. | :47:03. | |
James, silver for her in the women's keirin, it delighted George North | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
and so many cycling fans and fans of Team GB all over the place. And | :47:08. | :47:13. | |
tomorrow in the final of the men's sprint, it will be Callum Skinner | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
against Jason Kenny for gold and silver, Kenny was up against Chris | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
Solly eight years ago in Beijing, he took silver then, what will happen | :47:23. | :47:30. | |
this time round? -- Chris Hoy. Also, gold for the men's wait any final | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
day of the rowing regatta, finishing in style, first time they have won | :47:36. | :47:43. | |
in that event since Sydney 2000. And a first medal for the women in the | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
eight, USA took the gold, the defending champions from London. | :47:48. | :47:58. | |
Much more for you later on, we are here until two o'clock in the | :47:59. | :48:05. | |
morning, but straight back to the hockey now with Mel and Matt. | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
Early stages of the third period, no scored here, Susannah Townsend on | :48:12. | :48:23. | |
the burst, picked up by the upended McCullen, no whistle, the USA break. | :48:24. | :48:33. | |
She has covered a lot of ground, fired that up, straight at Laura | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
Unsworth, who is in a bit of trouble here. Probably hit her on the glove | :48:38. | :48:48. | |
and, directly on the knuckles, that has the potential to break a | :48:49. | :48:57. | |
player's hand. Unsworth has undoubtedly had worse and will | :48:58. | :48:58. | |
continue unhindered. And is League Two Helen | :48:59. | :49:13. | |
Richardson-Walsh, always exciting to see her in this position. -- Ansley | :49:14. | :49:23. | |
to. She has brilliant stick skills and is a nightmare to play against, | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
you just think she's going to get the ball off, she moves into a | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
different position and makes you look really silly. Aerial ball from | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
Great Britain went straight out of play, so the USA have possession. | :49:38. | :49:47. | |
Helen -- Hannah Macleod get a stake in, but the USA break. Kate | :49:48. | :49:59. | |
Richardson-Walsh. Now, a free hit, Kate | :50:00. | :50:11. | |
Richardson-Walsh, Hollie Webb just down the line behind her. That is | :50:12. | :50:19. | |
where she goes. Accurate passing, I yard gained by Richardson-Walsh | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
takes it to the edge of the circle, still Great Britain's ball. | :50:26. | :50:36. | |
Unsworth. Katie Webb on the diagonal, it hits a USA stick and | :50:37. | :50:45. | |
goes behind. They need to mix out what they are doing, sometimes go | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
around the outside, sometimes down the middle. The long ball is | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
probably not going to find the target. Sustained period of pressure | :50:53. | :50:58. | |
from the players in red here, a little-known from Bray, decent | :50:59. | :51:09. | |
opportunity, the USA clear their lines, but in the end effective. | :51:10. | :51:15. | |
Great shot off the back foot by Nicola White, Jackie Briggs makes | :51:16. | :51:22. | |
the save, Helen -- Hannah Macleod on the rebound. Townsend licks it back | :51:23. | :51:33. | |
but there was no one there. Break on the left from Bam, she has got lots | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
of praise, Maesteg her way to the edge of the circle, she has played | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
it inside, Maddie Hinch off her line gets a boot on the ball. That is the | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
danger for Great Britain, as they try to push up to get the gold to | :51:49. | :51:55. | |
put them top of the fall, the speed of Bam was exceptional, but four USA | :51:56. | :52:01. | |
players in support, Sharkey could not find the target. Kate | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
Richardson-Walsh goes aerial, a little flick from Sophie Bray. | :52:07. | :52:15. | |
Crandall, the captain. On the right, Reinprecht, the younger of the two | :52:16. | :52:22. | |
sisters. All the way to the corner. Shadowed all the way by Hannah | :52:23. | :52:30. | |
Macleod. Full is three American players in the circle. They will | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
start again, with Julia Reinprecht into the edge of the circle this | :52:36. | :52:45. | |
time, heavy collision, Bray comes away with it. We have seen a few of | :52:46. | :52:48. | |
those tackles this evening, just when either side is coming through | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
the attacker. Helen Richardson-Walsh, brilliant break, | :52:54. | :53:00. | |
all the way in, keeps it going. There was nobody there to help Helen | :53:01. | :53:03. | |
Richardson-Walsh, a fantastic drive, I think we are going to see the | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
Nicola White shot off the back foot, these saved by Briggs, Hannah | :53:10. | :53:12. | |
Macleod tries to put the ball into the danger area, but Dawson in a | :53:13. | :53:16. | |
fantastic covering position. This will fall to McCullen, down on | :53:17. | :53:27. | |
Hernanes, and this is worrying for Great Britain, USA get to the edge | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
of the circle. Wonderful diving tackle from Crista Cullen, who was | :53:33. | :53:34. | |
there to tidy up as well. GB just got away with one there, | :53:35. | :53:52. | |
that did not hit the foot of Dawson, and it wasn't given by the umpire on | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
this side. Cullen looking for hours Lee, who has done well, but beaten | :53:59. | :54:05. | |
to the ball by Crandall. Sharp stick work by the Americans. Katelyn | :54:06. | :54:15. | |
Falgowski did really well to bring three GB players onto her, then | :54:16. | :54:25. | |
releasing the ball. Dawson to Crandall, who is bouncing as is | :54:26. | :54:30. | |
difficult to control. There is a decent break on, shot, score, USA | :54:31. | :54:37. | |
lead! Michelle Vittese scores the first goal of the match. That is | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
exactly what we were talking about, the speed at which they break his | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
sensational, the shell that is gets the ball first, a long ball by | :54:48. | :54:51. | |
Lauren Crandall, bouncing in the area. -- Michelle Vittese. You can | :54:52. | :54:58. | |
see Maddie Hinch is potentially in two minds, because there is a USA | :54:59. | :55:05. | |
forward, Sharkey, out wide, but only one thing on Vittese's mind, she is | :55:06. | :55:10. | |
shaping as if she's going to play to Maddie Hinchright-hand side. 1-0 to | :55:11. | :55:17. | |
the USA, possibly against the run of play, but that is what it means to | :55:18. | :55:23. | |
this team. Great Britain 0, USA 1, Michelle Vittese scores for the USA. | :55:24. | :55:30. | |
Now, Great Britain attempting to fight back straightaway, Sam Quek on | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
the field now, back to Kate Richardson-Walsh. Ansley, Helen | :55:35. | :55:45. | |
Richardson-Walsh with a flick to Townsend, threatening, weaving, | :55:46. | :55:50. | |
left, right and centre, cannot find a way through, so back they go. | :55:51. | :56:05. | |
Great Britain's ball, still. Sam Quek in space on the right, good | :56:06. | :56:19. | |
pass to Quek. Back they go, via Webb to Townsend, who lets it a run, | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
picks it up into the circle, dangerous position, Owsley covers | :56:25. | :56:33. | |
the ground, no penalty corner given. Again, it is great play by GB, | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
Stefanie Fee is here, doing the defending, does just get a touch on | :56:39. | :56:40. | |
the ball. Fee, number 2 for USA, looking for | :56:41. | :57:03. | |
Van Sickle, but it has come out by Townsend, Van Sickle with the free | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
hit. Bam on the burst, looking for a way to the edge of the circle, fired | :57:09. | :57:13. | |
in, USA stick, eventually pushed behind out of danger. That was Shona | :57:14. | :57:21. | |
McCallin. Good play by Shona McCallin, Jill Witmer and was | :57:22. | :57:25. | |
lurking in behind, managed to get the touch on it. Not a good chap on | :57:26. | :57:36. | |
the right, Owsley had too many jabs at the ball, lost the chance to | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
break quickly, but rate Britons still have possession. A yellow card | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
for Reinprecht for knocking the ball away, she will miss the remaining | :57:46. | :57:52. | |
four minutes of this quarter. A promising four and a half minute | :57:53. | :57:54. | |
stretch coming up for Great Britain with a player over, but Van Sickle | :57:55. | :58:00. | |
has burst away clearly at the edge of the field, they will lose a few | :58:01. | :58:05. | |
seconds, it would be a power play in ice hockey with a player over. Good | :58:06. | :58:09. | |
from Helen Richardson-Walsh, always exciting when she starts to move at | :58:10. | :58:15. | |
pace, now she looks up and finds Bray, whose first touches a poor | :58:16. | :58:23. | |
one. It is about doing the simple things for me now, Great Britain, | :58:24. | :58:26. | |
Sophie Bray could have gone around the outside of Melissa Gonzalez, she | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
is quick, but she tried to put the ball over. Witmer has found a really | :58:32. | :58:37. | |
solid ball in, and Michelle Kasold was not far away from putting Maddie | :58:38. | :58:44. | |
Hinch under pressure again. Yeah, Kasold had got on the wrong side of | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
Georgie Twigg, who was struggling to get back, maybe just felt the | :58:49. | :58:51. | |
pressure and could not execute the deflection. Quek for Great Britain, | :58:52. | :58:56. | |
Unsworth. Four Great Britain players forward, | :58:57. | :59:10. | |
including Sophie Bray, who is down in the corner now. | :59:11. | :59:29. | |
And this trap from Sam Quek but no damage done. Hollie Webb is there. | :59:30. | :59:41. | |
She presses forward. This is where they need to tip the ball around at | :59:42. | :59:46. | |
the back. A flick from Alex Danson, hoping to run it on to her | :59:47. | :59:54. | |
team-mate. MacLeod has done well. Nicola White thought about going | :59:55. | :59:57. | |
forward and now does so. That is done. It almost worked out for | :59:58. | :00:05. | |
Nichola White, but pushed it just a yard too far. It is one thing to be | :00:06. | :00:11. | |
patient, as the British players have the ball around the back but they | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
have to move the ball at speed. They have two move the ball around to | :00:19. | :00:19. | |
come away with three points. Laura Unsworth gets the free hit but | :00:20. | :00:33. | |
thought it might have merited a card. One minute and a half left in | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
the third quarter. Great Britain zero, USA one. Georgie Twigg. | :00:40. | :00:52. | |
It came off the 's shins so it will be a USA free hit. There would be | :00:53. | :01:14. | |
too much of a rush. A tight turn from Kathleen Sharke. Lansley did | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
really well there not to get spun. She knew she was the last defender | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
and if Kathleen Sharke got around her she had the brood into the goal. | :01:27. | :01:36. | |
Great Britain have a chance to break out quickly but with 30 seconds left | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
in the quarter they are just going to keep possession, and take us | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
through to the hooter. Unless Townsend can set them up but I think | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
they are probably out of time now to get near to the USA circle. The last | :01:53. | :02:05. | |
ten seconds. Sophie Bray looks for Susannah Townsend and they might | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
just run out of time before they can get on a shooting position. The | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
hooter sounds to single the end of the third period, a period in which | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
the USA got off the mark, with a goal from Michelle Vittese. The | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
score here, Great Britain zero, USA one. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
We shall be back with Matt and mouth for the remainder of that match. The | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
final quarter of that match but we will go to live boxing at some stage | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
for you as well. Thank you to the likes of Paul Ross and Marvin who | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
say they are sticking with BBC Four because they love the hockey. Thank | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
you for that. We will see what else is available at the moment in terms | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
of Olympic sport at the moment. On the Red Button we have the | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
continuing gold-medal match for the women in the tennis. Angelique | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Kerber against Monica Puig and they are approaching the end of the | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
second set at the moment. It is available if you click on the Red | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Button right now. Angelique Kerber is 5-4 up in that second set. Boxing | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
is on the website if you want to follow it, or by the BBC sport app. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
That is Joe Joyce loosening up and he is a super heavyweight at the | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Commonwealth champion and he is fighting in about ten minutes time. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
We will have live boxing coming up very shortly on BBC Four. We are | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
here on day eight of the Olympic Games and it has just gone 7pm here | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
in Rio. The wind has picked up on the beach is virtually deserted, | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
apart from, what is going on there? I'm not sure. It might be late-night | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
circuit training and kids flying their kite 's as well. In terms of | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
timings for this evening there are things to remind you of because it | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
is a 11am at -- 11pm at home and some of you are expecting a late | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
night. At 1230 on BBC One will be the javelin, their penultimate event | :04:01. | :04:14. | |
on the heptathlon. At 1am back home Greg Rutherford goes in the men's | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
long jump with two fouls in qualifying, he just sneaked through | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
but here's in the final and can he do what he achieved four years ago? | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
At 1:30am Mo Farah goes in the 10,000 metres so it is all crammed | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
together, just as it was on Super Saturday in London. At 215 AM it is | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
the final event of the heptathlon, can Jessica Ennis Hill when this | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
gold-medal once again? That is the 800 metres. Swimming continues | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
through the night as well. Fran Halsall at about 2am has a chance | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
for a medal and also at 3am is the final ever Olympic event for Michael | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Phelps with a 22 gold medals for the great American and he goes against | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Team GB who have qualified fastest in the medley relay. That is at 3am. | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
Adam Peaty against James Guy. That is a bit of USA against Team GB and | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
that is what we return to the hockey field as well, with a Team GB a goal | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
behind. Early pressure from the USA and | :05:21. | :05:35. | |
thankfully the final touch was a mystery with a foot and Jill Witmer | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
was unable to make a a final connection. 13.5 minutes of the | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
match remain and whoever wins this will finish top of the group and | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
therefore in paper get the easiest fixture in the quarterfinals, but | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
that is just on paper. Nobody knows who will be finishing first at the | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
moment. Spain occupied a position but China still have a game at the | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
moment and if they win they could go second so the other group is a | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
nightmare to work out. It is wide open at the moment. Both Great | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Britain and the USA have qualified for the quarterfinals and it is all | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
about maintaining a 100% winning record and getting maximum points. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
At the moment the United States lead Great Britain by one goal to zero. I | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
think this game is also about momentum rather than necessarily the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
point that go on the board. It is about the performance. You can't | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
expect to pay -- play your best hockey in the quarterfinals if you | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
haven't played in the pool stages. Sam Quek will begin all over again. | :06:41. | :07:01. | |
Nichola White runs into space and then heads back. She was well | :07:02. | :07:11. | |
shielded. Sam Quek. Nice stick work from Sam Quek. Skilfully out of the | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
tangle. Lili Owsley doing well, to the edge of the circle. Very limited | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
shooting opportunities in this game so far for Great Britain. And | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
anything they have had each Jackie Briggs has been in terrific form in | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
the USA goal and sometimes when your goalkeeper is play like that it | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
breeds so much confidence through the rest of the team. Unsworth had | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
to make that trap and she did, she has been so reliable throughout the | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
tournament, Laura Unsworth. A perfect pass forward. Owsley | :07:48. | :08:06. | |
steams through but the American number eight, Rachel Dawson, watched | :08:07. | :08:07. | |
every step of the way. Can then it forward to Helen | :08:08. | :08:23. | |
Richardson-Walsh. It just missed Helen 's stick. | :08:24. | :08:33. | |
British fans are starting to make a bit of noise in an effort to | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
encourage a decent final ten minutes from the British team. A couple of | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
goals needed. Melissa Gonzalez, over the stick of | :08:46. | :09:01. | |
Crista Cullen. She gets into the circle and Hinch will have to boot | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
it away and do so effectively as far as Townsend. Helen Richardson-Walsh | :09:05. | :09:17. | |
back defends it. Everybody apart from Danson and she is coming back | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
to help shore up the defence as well as the Americans charge forward. | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
Michelle Vittese is going to now sit down on the naughty step. The yellow | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
card. So, five minutes suspension for the American goal-scorer. This | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
could be a big five minutes for Great Britain. There is a shove in | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
the back of Shona McCallin, there is no doubt about that but Michelle | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
Vittese is absolutely flying with the ball and Shona McAllen stood her | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
ground as she should do and I don't understand how Michelle Vittese | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
should stop but these umpires have umpired the game exceptionally well | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
and they have allowed certain things to happen and they have allowed the | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
players to play hockey. Kane Richardson was having to backtrack. | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
-- Kate Richardson-Walsh having to backtrack. A nice aerial ball, in | :10:17. | :10:25. | |
search of Alex Danson. I do agree with you, it's a massive five for | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
GB. If they can get one on the board while the US are down to ten | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
outfield players, nine outfield players in fact, it could be an | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
interesting final few minutes. That was meant for Alex Danson but it hit | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
a couple of American sticks on its way. Georgie Twigg pokes that | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
through for Danson. Dawson is a little quicker to the ball. | :10:53. | :11:06. | |
Katherine Reinprecht. That was held up by colour. Crista Cullen uses all | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
her wisdom and experience to keep the danger to a minimum. | :11:15. | :11:36. | |
Sam Quek on the left was unable to trap the ball which was a bit of a | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
bouncer from Kate Richardson-Walsh. That has fallen kindly for Danson | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
who runs into space and feet Susannah Townsend, knocked forward | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
to Hollie Webb. Web flicks it back to Townsend and now they are on the | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
edge. Sophie Bray keeps it going and can she get a shot on goal? Penalty | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
corner, Great Britain. Great linkup play from Townsend and Hollie Webb | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
to set up this opportunity but brilliant skills from Sophie Bray to | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
lift the ball there. The whistle went before Sophie Bray make contact | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
with that shot. A lot of excitement from the support staff. He almost | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
cracked a smile, didn't he? Yes, Danny Kerry is generally poker-faced | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
in the stands. Hannah Macleod is stepping over to inject this ball. | :12:32. | :12:41. | |
And then it will either be Kate Richardson-Walsh or Giselle Ansley | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
to try and drag flick it towards the US gold. Here we go, the Great | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
Britain penalty corner. Giselle Ansley, slid inside, it's pushed | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
home. Final touch from Sophie Bray. Sophie Bray 's goal, it's 1-1! | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
We will come back and show you any more goals in the hockey but we | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
promised you some live boxing so it is one one between Team GB and the | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
USA with just a few minutes left, but Joe Joyce is about to step into | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
the ring in the superheavyweight division and we have some pedigree. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
He is in the ring right now so I will cross straight over to Richie | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
Woodhall and Rob McIntosh to talk us through this one. The opening bell | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
sounds in this second preliminary round in the tournament between | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
boxers from Great Britain and Kate their day, the man wearing red is | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Great Britain 's Joe Joyce, six feet tall and 30 years of age and ranked | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
number three in the world and the tournament number three seed. His | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
opponent is Davilson Dos Santos Morais, 27 years of age from Kate | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
Thursday, the lone representative of the Cape Verde boxing team, who has | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
just been hit by a long right hand, the man in blue. He has a | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
considerable size disadvantage in terms of height and reach and bulk | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
and he is not the most experienced of boxers. A three-time national | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
champion of tape -- Cape Verde" fight for his first Olympic Games | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
fire the African qualification tournament, where he finished | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
outside the automatic qualification places but was given a spot because | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
the Moroccan representative was unable to take up his place. He is | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
breathing heavily already and his body language is not good. Does he | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
have a bit of the ODI? There's something wrong. The ringside boxer | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
has been called up immediately to make the expections. -- does he have | :14:47. | :14:57. | |
a bit of a Nick over the eye? This is an introduction to elite boxing | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
for Davilson Dos Santos Morais. Joe Joyce has to work behind his jab | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
here and settle into the contest. He has come out with bad intentions and | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
we know here's a bit of a handful. He has to uses jab and his uppercut. | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
This fella in front of him keep dipping his head, so use the jab and | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
bring the upper cut through the middle, that's what Joyce has got to | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
do. It had to wait a long time for this contest so he is a big eager | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
and bring the right uppercut through all the straight right hand. He's a | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
bit out of range so he must use the leading hand and work through jab | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
early on. Plenty of aggressive intent being | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
demonstrated by the man in blue from Cape Verde. Joe Joyce, the reigning | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
Commonwealth Games gold medallist, reigning European Games gold | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
medallist, if he starts to extend the ramrod left hand, it could be a | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
painful price to play for the man in blue. And the man in blue is cached | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
already, he is on rubbery legs, and I am not sure if he will survive | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
until the end of the round or make it to the end of round two. A cut | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
above the left eye, is body language is not good, I think Joe Joyce could | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
help himself to some free shots here. Only courage keeping the man | :16:27. | :16:39. | |
in blue up, his unsteady legs, Dos Santos Morais can barely maintain | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
his boxing stance, caught in between the ropes, he is clubbed to the | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
canvas with a brutal roundhouse right! Right at the end of the | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
round, that has capped off a perfect round for Joe Joyce, I do not know | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
whether he will beat the count. The reverie cause it off, that is it, on | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
his Olympic debut, Joe Joyce gets the job done in clinical fashion. | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
The man from Cape Verde, Davilson Dos Santos Morais, clubbed into | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
submission, the shots were wearing him down, eventually they bought a | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
standing count, and with the final punch of the opening round, a | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
roundhouse right that was delivered from last week, he ran headlong into | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
it, Dos Santos Morais, and he did not have the energy to remain | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
upright. He got up and beat the count, but the referee, after taking | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
a close look into his eyes, has waved off the contest. | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
He catches him with a punch quite high on the Temple, Joe Joyce, and | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
that scrambles the senses of a boxer. It was a perfect round for | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
Joyce, he hit the target with everything he threw there, starting | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
to settle into it as the round went on, he will be really pleased, very | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
good indeed, knocking his opponent out. | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by technical knockout... So we are | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
awaiting the confirmation of the emphatic first round we have just | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
seen there, just waiting for Joe Joyce's hand to be raised, and all | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
those who got very angry for leaving the hockey, thank you to Joe Joyce | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
for putting in a sparkling performance but also allowing us to | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
get back to the hockey, and there has been a goal since we left it. It | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
was 1-1 between Team GB and the USA, this is what has happened since we | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
left. Helen Richardson-Walsh, Webb. Webb | :18:47. | :18:58. | |
to Sam Quek, she fires it through, it is a goal for Alex Danson! The | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
goal definitely stands, the USA are really, not happy at the moment, | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
they are chirping the umpire at every opportunity possible. Not sure | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
if the umpire is going to go for the umpire referral or not, it does not | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
look like it. Oh, no need, fantastic touch on the far post, brilliance | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
delivery by Sam Quek. What a turnaround, straight back to | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
Mel and Matt for the closing stages. Last two and a half minutes of the | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
match, Great Britain lead 2-1. Alex Danson has just got her third goal | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
of the tournament. Kate Richardson-Walsh has taken one in a | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
painful part of the body. Able to love it off, not thing as painful as | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
the broken jaw she suffered in London 2012. -- able to laugh it | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
off, nothing as painful. She recovered from that and helped Great | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
Britain win a bronze medal. Last two minutes of the match, Georgie Twigg | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
is on the sin bin seats for a yellow card, so she will not return to the | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
match, which means that for the remainder it is 11 versus ten here. | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
Maddie Hinch, left foot, clears it comfortably. | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
USA into the circle, and they get a penalty corner. It is a brilliant | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
spin by Michelle the tears, she rolls Crista Cullen, sets up | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
fantastically well. That Michelle Vittese. She is so quick, she spins | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
inside, and right about now you get the stick tackle, the umpire decides | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
there is no advantage, penalty corner. Rachel Dawson on the | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
left-hand side as we look now, she is the drag flicker, Lauren Crandall | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
tends to be the hit player on the other side. Dawson or Crandall, the | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
targets here as the USA attempt to draw level, penalty corner and away. | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
-- under way. Another penalty corner, although Great Britain, | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
well, a limited protest, I think it was a clear British foot on the | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
ball. I think the umpire was unsighted, but Crandall was going | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
for the referral is not. But brilliance defence by Laura Unsworth | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
back there. She gets really low, her stick is on the floor, and she owns | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
the space. Crandall and Dawson have switched sides. In it comes, Dawson | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
again, saved by Maddie Hinch, and clear. Now, a chance for Great | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Britain to break! Townsend and Danson. All the way to the corner, | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
she sensibly holds it up, Danson, last 90 seconds of the match, still | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
British possession, Danson in no hurry. Georgie Twigg still a | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
spectator, and that is where she will remain for the rest of the | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
match. Kate Richardson-Walsh in support, | :22:21. | :22:40. | |
Townsend happy to wriggle her way back down field. Now, another yellow | :22:41. | :22:51. | |
card is being produced. She has given the yellow card to Susannah | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Townsend, she blew her whistle, I don't think Townsend heard it, she | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
carried on playing, knocking the ball away, so GB have lost two | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
players with a minutes to go. Final 45 seconds, Great Britain are that | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
close to maximum points and five wins out of five in the Olympic | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
hockey tournament. And into the last 30 seconds, there will be no rush to | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
restart here. Aerial ball coming up. Aerial ball | :23:23. | :23:35. | |
from Giselle Ansley, way down field, plucked out of the night sky. Ten | :23:36. | :23:44. | |
seconds to go. And Great Britain have possession, and Great Britain | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
will have the victory! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
The final hooter sounds, maximum points, five wins out of five, Great | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
Britain are the top team in the Olympic tournament, final words | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
being exchanged between umpire and American captain, but it matters | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
not, Great Britain have got the job done, and they came from one goal | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
down. Sophie Bray got the first, and then Alex Danson was there to score | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
Great Britain's is excellent, excellent goalkeeping from Maddie | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
Hinch. Game of hockey, a brilliant advert for the sport, controversy, | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
cards, goals, corners, two of the top teams that have been on fire in | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
this tournament, and the mental, I guess, strength of the GB team, to | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
come from 1-0 down to win 2-1, that is really positive as we enter the | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
knockout stages. Great Britain will find out who they play in the | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
quarterfinals, the fourth placed team from Poole A, the bottom | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
qualifier. The Americans have acquitted themselves well throughout | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
the tournament, but beaten tonight, Great Britain have beaten the USA by | :25:03. | :25:14. | |
2-1. DAN: Confirmation of the standings, | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
a perfect record for GB, they will find out, and we will inform you of | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
who they will play in the quarterfinals a little bit later. | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
You can see why the Americans were a little bit miffed, not happy with | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
some of the decisions, but Mel Clewlow summed it up perfectly. | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
Incredible performance, incredible comeback from the bronze medallist | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
four years ago. We will try to get some reaction later, but I have to | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
tell you about what is on BBC One, the build-up is all about Super | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
Saturday. The atmosphere was incredible, | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
something I will never experience again in my entire life. Did that | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
really happen? Oh! All that to come, oh, there is | :26:03. | :26:18. | |
the paper gone, my crucial notes! I will have to make the rest up! We | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
were showing you Joe Joyce interrupting the hockey slightly, | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
and it only took in one round, which meant we were able to get back to | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
the hockey, so we are thankful to him, and after the victory he was | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
speaking to us. That looked like a big mismatch, how | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
did you find that? It seemed pretty straightforward, did you expected to | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
be straightforward? Well, yeah, I saw brief footage of him, I think it | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
was just highlights or something, but apparently a story of getting | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
here was, you know, quite lucky, I think he got a bye, and then he went | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
to the next round or something, I think he lost, and then he got to | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
the next round, and the opponent pulled out because of a cuts. He is | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
lucky to be here, and I wanted to get out early, I got him out just | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
before the end, just at the end of the first round. You have been in | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
Rio for quite a while, you have only just got into the ring, how | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
difficult has been to keep yourself fresh and motivated? It is quite | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
tough, like, because I have been here for over two weeks now, and you | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
have to... I don't know, it seems like it is dragging on, but once the | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
boxing started, it goes quicker, it will be quicker from now on. You are | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
one win from a medal, what are your chances? Hopefully good! You are | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
looking to win it, you have said that the forehand. Definitely, | :27:47. | :27:53. | |
getting the performance in, getting the right warm up, the performances | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
on the day, hopefully walking back with the gold medal around my neck. | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
Brilliant, Joe, good luck, see you soon. | :28:02. | :28:04. | |
Well done to Joe Joyce, we will be following him in the super | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
heavyweight division. Floyd Mayweather is in the crowd there, | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
and some of the USA dream team are there as well. We talked a lot about | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
Super Saturday, can you remember what you are doing four years ago? I | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
was covering the Games for the BBC, but that night I had a ticket about | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
ten rows back from near the finishing line, and I saw Jess | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
Ennis-Hill across the line in the 800 metres, Mo Farah in the 10,000, | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
Greg Rutherford doing his business on the far side of the track. I | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
don't mean that! You know exactly what I mean, stop laughing, you lot! | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
You know what I mean, when I say doing his business, I mean winning | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
long jump gold! And we thought what we would do, to set you up for what | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
will happen in the next few hours over on BBC One, we would get Eddie | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
Butler to describe what could be another memorable night for British | :29:02. | :29:02. | |
athletics. leading hand and work through jab | :29:03. | :29:04. | |
early on. The Stadium erupts. Three gold | :29:05. | :29:21. | |
medals for Britain. What a night! What a night. One never to be | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
forgotten. But that was then, life goes on, the world keeps turning, so | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
what came next? Just one year later at the World Championships in | :29:34. | :29:37. | |
Moscow, those home comforts of London seem to do is menu -- distant | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
memory. Frustration for Greg Rutherford, injured and failing to | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
make the long jump final. Jessica Ennis Hill, also injured, didn't | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
even go to Moscow. All down with them to Mo Farah, the last of the | :29:54. | :29:59. | |
golden trio. He is sprinting for gold, he is running for greatness! | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
Double gold in the 5000 and 10,000 metres, Great Britain 's most | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
decorated athlete in history, stretching out, forging ahead. This | :30:09. | :30:17. | |
is world domination four farad! -- for Mo Farah! Until the following | :30:18. | :30:26. | |
April, new challenge, a different distance on these familiar London | :30:27. | :30:33. | |
streets, and are not out in front. And when Glasgow welcomes the | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
Commonwealth in the summer, Mo Farah missed out, is turn to be injured. | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
Jessica Ennis Hill was happier not to be in Glasgow, she was about to | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
welcome her first son, Ritchie, to the world. For Greater Glasgow would | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
be a point of restart. Greg Rutherford is the Commonwealth | :30:53. | :31:00. | |
champion. He added the European title to his collection. Also in | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
ceric, Mo Farah was back on the track and completing another double. | :31:05. | :31:11. | |
Meanwhile, as the nights grew longer over Sheffield, Jess returns to | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
training, re-forging a steely athletic will. Time ticking towards | :31:17. | :31:27. | |
Rio. First of the stern test of the World Championships in Beijing. Greg | :31:28. | :31:33. | |
Rutherford one jump a way of joining a special band of Great Britain 's. | :31:34. | :31:40. | |
Rutherford completes his grand slam, Olympic, European, Commonwealth, and | :31:41. | :31:44. | |
now world champion! Mo Farah about to join an even more exclusive club. | :31:45. | :31:54. | |
Mo Farah, the only one in it. Mo Farah is champion again! Jess had | :31:55. | :32:00. | |
eased her way back into competition. Who knew what to expect in Beijing? | :32:01. | :32:06. | |
She had nothing to prove that she proved it anyway. She storms past | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
the Canadian. Jessica Ennis Hill is back on top of the world. Three | :32:11. | :32:21. | |
then, three now. That day is here again. Super Saturday. Type will | :32:22. | :32:29. | |
move on, but might the world be stopped again in its tracks? | :32:30. | :32:37. | |
All, it couldn't happen again, could it? It could. It is on BBC One from | :32:38. | :32:43. | |
about midnight. BBC Two is the athletics and BBC One currently has | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
match of the day with Gary Lineker in his pants. Back at the hockey, | :32:49. | :32:55. | |
Team GB have a perfect record in the group, five wins out of five so let | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
us get some reaction. We have some of the team. | :33:00. | :33:06. | |
I'm down here with the keeper. First of all, Kate, it was difficult to | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
break down the US team but five out of five must be satisfying. Yes, the | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
USA have had a great couple of years and they were top of the pool before | :33:17. | :33:19. | |
this game in this tournament and deservedly so, they are dog-eared | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
and fit and they try and play territory hockey and we had to stop | :33:24. | :33:26. | |
that are known and fit and they try and play territory hockey and we had | :33:27. | :33:29. | |
to stop that unknown force our game onto them. Crista Cullen, your 100th | :33:30. | :33:35. | |
cap. Restore a circle and you got some flowers. Yes, flowers for my | :33:36. | :33:42. | |
100th cap but we didn't get the gold until the end but we are dog-eared | :33:43. | :33:47. | |
in keep them out and we are very flare up front and I am very proud | :33:48. | :33:51. | |
of the girls today. Five wins out of five and what is the field like in | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
the squad right now about your opportunities and your chances of | :33:56. | :33:58. | |
getting a medal again? Good, all the way to our preparation we have said | :33:59. | :34:03. | |
it was one game at a time and in the Olympic qualifier we said that we | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
came with the right mentality. It is boring but we go back to the drawing | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
board and debrief and then onto the next one. Although you have had five | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
out of five it is all reset the quarterfinals. Winning all these | :34:17. | :34:19. | |
matches must be important for momentum. Momentum really does | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
count. That is the thing you have to latch on to accuse any users upon us | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
-- positive force. In every single game we add a bit more to our game | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
and we have shown so many facets of how we can play and we are looking | :34:33. | :34:37. | |
forward to a quarterfinal game. We don't know yet who you will play, it | :34:38. | :34:42. | |
will be the fourth placed team and that is not clear who yet. Does it | :34:43. | :34:48. | |
matter who you play? All the teams had different tactics and it is one | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
game at a time so we will find out who we are playing and then define | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
it and understand how to beat those teams. Quarterfinals are a knockout | :34:56. | :34:58. | |
and we know what we have to do and we will go back to the drawing board | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
and recover and get sorted out and come out all guns blazing. Well done | :35:02. | :35:05. | |
for tonight and thank you very much for your time. | :35:06. | :35:10. | |
Great to get reaction and we do not know yet who they will play in the | :35:11. | :35:13. | |
quarterfinals but we will let you know by the end of the evening. We | :35:14. | :35:18. | |
only had one round of Joe Joyce so we will bring you some other boxing | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
that took place earlier. This is the semifinal of the man who beat | :35:25. | :35:33. | |
Lawrence Okolie. He was seen off by a Cuban, the nephew of Felix Avant | :35:34. | :35:41. | |
in the heavyweight division. Tonight he takes on Vassiliy Levit of | :35:42. | :35:56. | |
Kazakhstan. The Kazakhstan to have been cheering a wonderful display by | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
another boxer but here comes Vassiliy Levit ahead of the 91 | :36:01. | :36:09. | |
kilograms semifinal. Representing Cuba... Erislandy Savon! Here is | :36:10. | :36:24. | |
another man looking to book his birth in the gold-medal bout, the | :36:25. | :36:31. | |
estimable Erislandy Savon of Cuba. What a match we have in store here. | :36:32. | :36:39. | |
A real tough nut, Vassiliy Levit, from Kazakhstan, no question. But he | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
has to show a bit more quality tonight against this Cuban. | :36:44. | :36:49. | |
Erislandy Savon is a long-range box and very clever indeed. He's very | :36:50. | :36:57. | |
loose and relaxed. It looks like he is slapping him in the face and | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
telling him to wake up because even a contest but Erislandy Savon is so, | :37:02. | :37:12. | |
calculated. So the opening bell sounds in this 91 kilograms | :37:13. | :37:16. | |
heavyweight semifinal, and what a matchup we have in store here. It | :37:17. | :37:22. | |
features boxers from Cuba and Kazakhstan and a man wearing blue is | :37:23. | :37:26. | |
Erislandy Savon, number two in the world, the tournament number two | :37:27. | :37:31. | |
seed. The shaven headed figure in red is ranked six in the world and | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
the tournament number three seed, Vassiliy Levit from Kazakhstan. | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
These two men met in World Series boxing at the conclusion of series | :37:41. | :37:46. | |
five and it was Erislandy Savon who prevailed by a unanimous decision | :37:47. | :37:57. | |
over the round. A long left from Vassiliy Levit wasn't too far away. | :37:58. | :38:07. | |
The accuracy of the right-hand arm of Erislandy Savon is tremendous. He | :38:08. | :38:12. | |
has a lot of speed and power. For me, Vassiliy Levit, if he stays at | :38:13. | :38:15. | |
middle range against this Cuban, he boxes your ears off, he really does. | :38:16. | :38:20. | |
Vassiliy Levit at some point will have to get up to as manager and | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
rough him up because Erislandy Savon works very well at range and if he | :38:25. | :38:35. | |
dictate the pace he will outbox you say you must rough him up and try | :38:36. | :38:40. | |
and catch downstairs also. The range of means he will pick you off or | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
not. Vassiliy Levit has the tools for the kind of work you are | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
referring to, he is a ragged customer but he looks as though he | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
is looking to box at a distance and that suits Erislandy Savon. If he | :38:53. | :38:57. | |
can get to the long and lean body of Erislandy Savon, that might be why | :38:58. | :39:05. | |
he has slimmed down from super heavyweight. He is in reality is not | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
much smaller now but his torso would be targeted brutally. At this tempo, | :39:10. | :39:19. | |
one suspects he will be backing Erislandy Savon or contest long. | :39:20. | :39:26. | |
Vassiliy Levit does have the guns to do it. It carries power in either | :39:27. | :39:35. | |
hand, does the man in red. There he is showing us a glimpse of what he | :39:36. | :39:38. | |
should be doing here, double jab, double jab in with the feat. Close | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
that gap down and send the bigger right-hand home. When you are | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
waiting like that it allows Erislandy Savon to work on the | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
outside with the jab. He is fairly comfortable and you can see it | :39:52. | :39:55. | |
coming because Vassiliy Levit has pretty slow feet and he has to be | :39:56. | :39:58. | |
quicker with the feet. He needs to double up the jab and take the | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
contest to Erislandy Savon because he is dictating the pace in this | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
round very well indeed. How will the judges score the opening round? | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
Erislandy Savon clearly was the governor inside there and he elects | :40:15. | :40:24. | |
to stand in between sessions. So we know this fella can do it, | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
Vassiliy Levit. That is what he was running into all round long. He has | :40:30. | :40:36. | |
been caught with long-range stuff because he is staying out the side. | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
Here are the scores. I don't know what Judge B is watching, but he | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
gave it to Vassiliy Levit. I thought Erislandy Savon clearly controlled | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
the round. He is 2-1 up and that is a bit of a surprise. But we have | :40:51. | :40:53. | |
seen it a few times today anyway were the judges have gone a | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
different way to what we would have gone. Indeed. Round two. We move | :40:58. | :41:12. | |
into the second round of this 91 kilograms heavyweight semifinal. | :41:13. | :41:18. | |
Both of these men are contesting their third bout of the tournament | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
in this final four stage. Both had byes in the opening round and | :41:24. | :41:29. | |
Erislandy Savon beat Lawrence Okolie from GB and then the Argentinian. | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
The Argentinian was the number seven seed but he was outpointed | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
unanimously. Vassiliy Levit was an aggressive stoppage win over the | :41:40. | :41:46. | |
Chinese youngster in his opening round and any unanimous points | :41:47. | :41:53. | |
decision to the Commonwealth silver medallist out, very good performance | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
of educated boxing. When you watch this man at times in the World | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
Series boxing, he is a rampaging force on the front foot. You see him | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
perhaps trying to get into that type of mode here now. Dipping at the | :42:07. | :42:11. | |
knees and swaying at the waist. We can get into mid-range to land his | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
right hand, which is a particularly potent shot. Maybe they are just | :42:15. | :42:24. | |
wary of the punching power that the other possesses after that first go | :42:25. | :42:27. | |
round in World Series boxing. That is a good right hand from Vassiliy | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
Levit, cracking shot. He has started this round a lot better, Vassiliy | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
Levit, on the front foot and he has put Erislandy Savon under a lot more | :42:38. | :42:40. | |
pressure. This is what the Cadillac should be doing and quick on its | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
feet up and double that jab up a bit. It is a nice shot from Vassiliy | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
Levit. This round has been hit up until now, Vassiliy Levit, and he is | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
boxing very well. Good tempo and good head movement from the man in | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
red. He is boxing when the shot you pointed out there a few moments ago | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
slipped to his left and beat his man to the jab. It was a forceful shot | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
well. Two minutes gone in the second round. Vassiliy Levit shouldn't be | :43:08. | :43:16. | |
satisfied to just stand and hold there. The Cuban stands and holds | :43:17. | :43:23. | |
and Vassiliy Levit has to work away on the inside. Look at Erislandy | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
Savon there, is holding again. He does most of his good work at mid | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
and long range, we know what he is about, but when they come together | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
it is an opportunity for Vassiliy Levit to work on the inside, and he | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
must take it because, let's face it, you get limited opportunities | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
against the Cubans. Very skilful operators indeed, but this Cuban, | :43:45. | :43:47. | |
Erislandy Savon, doesn't like working on the inside. A good right | :43:48. | :43:54. | |
hand from Vassiliy Levit. I thought Erislandy Savon dipped by changing | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
his feet to face Levitz near the ropes. | :43:59. | :44:08. | |
A good round of boxing from the man in red. Erislandy Savon not as | :44:09. | :44:15. | |
effective as it was in the opening round and, remember, despite his | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
effectiveness in row number one, he has only taken it 2-1, with Judge B | :44:20. | :44:24. | |
favouring the work of Vassiliy Levit in the opening round. It is a | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
different corner now, the Cuban corner. I wouldn't say they are | :44:30. | :44:35. | |
panicking that at the same time there is a bit more urgency about | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
that corner. That is a nice right there for Vassiliy Levit. He makes | :44:42. | :44:44. | |
his opponent miss with the jab and he comes back with the right hand, | :44:45. | :44:47. | |
that's lovely boxing. A different angle there. A super shot from | :44:48. | :44:54. | |
Vassiliy Levit. And the scores across the board for Vassiliy Levit. | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
So now, well, we do have an interesting last round here now. | :45:00. | :45:00. | |
Most certainly. And there is confirmation, the | :45:01. | :45:10. | |
semaphore being communicated to the Cuban, they will have passed that on | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
to Savon, he knows what he has to do, and I am sure similar was | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
communicated to Levit's corner. This has come down to a one round shoot | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
out, one round of peace after Levit swept the board with effective | :45:26. | :45:35. | |
boxing in round number two. -- round apiece. Remember, Cuba are very much | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
the governors of this heavyweight division, looking to win their | :45:41. | :45:46. | |
eighth gold medal in this event and begin to emulate the accomplishments | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
of his ankle. That is one of the burdens that come with having that | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
family name, Savon. But right now he has to lay everything on the line, | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
he is holding him when he gets close, but he has to get to work | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
with that wonderful left hand that range. Who wants this more? It could | :46:03. | :46:08. | |
come down to that. Who can implement their style and tactics in this | :46:09. | :46:15. | |
remaining two minutes? Savon has got to concentrate on the accuracy as | :46:16. | :46:19. | |
his opponent comes forward, starting to come forward more on the front | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
foot now. Savon is not so effective, so he has to improve that right | :46:25. | :46:29. | |
hand, the accuracy with it. Around the back of the head again from | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
Savon, that is not good enough, I am afraid. Levit is going forward. Now | :46:34. | :46:38. | |
this is a little bit better from both boxers, getting scrappy from | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
Levit, going forward, remember, without double jab that he throws, | :46:43. | :46:53. | |
the long left hook, and Savon does not work on the inside. He did land | :46:54. | :46:55. | |
a good left-right combination, cracking uppercut from Savon before | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
the boxers fall into a clinch. Final minute of an absorbing contest to | :47:01. | :47:12. | |
find out who will join Tishchenko in the final. Both boxers have to | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
summon up the reserves of energy, the reserves that champions can | :47:17. | :47:20. | |
access on demand when the going gets tough. You get the impression that | :47:21. | :47:25. | |
Savon, holding on the inside, is feeling the pace. They both are, but | :47:26. | :47:33. | |
Savon is feeling the pace, ... Who can produce a grandstand finish in | :47:34. | :47:38. | |
this final 30 seconds? Savon ex sailing with every shot, it is | :47:39. | :47:42. | |
audible from the commentary position a fair distance away. -- ex. It | :47:43. | :47:52. | |
could come down to this. Who can find the last bit of quality that | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
may sway this one way or the other? Last ten seconds, who can do it? | :47:57. | :48:08. | |
Right hand attempted by Savon, the ropes straining, the two boxers fall | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
into them, my goodness, let's give you a reminder of how things stand | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
going into the third and final round. Judges A and C have it one | :48:19. | :48:26. | |
round apiece, 19 points, Judge B has this man two rounds to the good | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
after he was fortuitously given that round by that judge. In the third | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
and final round they both went for it. They did indeed, the Cubans | :48:35. | :48:42. | |
there just saying, keep it along with that right hand, and he replied | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
with that shot. It really is a close contest now. It could go either way. | :48:47. | :48:56. | |
I just think Levit might just have nicked it here. But it is close. I | :48:57. | :49:03. | |
will go red. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by | :49:04. | :49:16. | |
unanimous decision... In the red corner, Vassiliy Levit! Well, as | :49:17. | :49:24. | |
soon as you heard the word unanimous, you knew it was Levit's | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
hand that was going to be raised, he had a two point advantage from Judge | :49:30. | :49:36. | |
B, and the other judges gave him the third and final round. Confirmation | :49:37. | :49:40. | |
of the final score, Vassiliy Levit goes through to the gold medal bout, | :49:41. | :49:45. | |
a unanimous points decision winner, taking the third and final round | :49:46. | :49:50. | |
across-the-board. He scores a unanimous points decision win over | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
Erislandy Savon. Some quality boxing on BBC 4, and | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
just to let you know what is happening on BBC One at the moment, | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
you can watch this on the Red Button, it is the gold medal match | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
in the women's singles, Monica Puig is actually serving to win this. | :50:09. | :50:15. | |
This would be Puerto Rico first-ever Olympic gold medal. She has been | :50:16. | :50:19. | |
speaking this week about how important would be for a country | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
that has been going through tough times. She has been well supported | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
tonight, taking on Angelique Kerber, who knocked out Heather Watson, she | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
was a Wimbledon finalist this year, and many thought she would go on to | :50:32. | :50:36. | |
win this Engels title. But Monica Puig has done it! What a moment, | :50:37. | :50:43. | |
what a moment for Puig, what a moment for Puerto Rico. We have just | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
dipped into it at the right time, we will even there, but you can see the | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
celebrations on the Red Button and on BBC One at the moment as well. We | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
are going to have a little wander down to the beach, because people | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
often say, well, you have not been moaning, but there have been | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
comments about having Copacabana on your doorstep and not showing us | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
much about it! This is why, look at how steep it is down to the sea. It | :51:11. | :51:15. | |
becomes a little bit deadly, you are not allowed to swim in it today, | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
there is a red flag, hardly anybody has been out. You can see how | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
powerful it is, and some of the waves, I know it is dark at there, | :51:25. | :51:30. | |
but look how gruesome it would be... Look at that, that is powerful, | :51:31. | :51:35. | |
isn't it? That is the might of the Atlantic Ocean. They do serve here | :51:36. | :51:38. | |
during the day, and just around the corner from us you can see the fort | :51:39. | :51:43. | |
in the far distance. Watch the issues, everyone! Just around the | :51:44. | :51:48. | |
corner from that, if anime beach goes at right angles to Copacabana, | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
and that is sometimes even more popular as a surfing beach, the | :51:53. | :51:58. | |
waves get bigger. One of the beach volleyball stars who was taking part | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
earlier, one of the Brazilians actually lives on in -- on Ipanema | :52:03. | :52:14. | |
beach. Athletics and swimming is what people will mostly be watching | :52:15. | :52:18. | |
on BBC One, so we thought we would try to build up some of the tension | :52:19. | :52:23. | |
and magic of Super Saturday. It will be happening through the night back | :52:24. | :52:26. | |
home, but Jessica Ennis-Hill is going for gold in the heptathlon, | :52:27. | :52:33. | |
and it is another night filled with potential for Mo Farah. He is going | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
for the Olympic double double, tonight it is all about the 10,000 | :52:38. | :52:44. | |
metres. That is at 1:30 your time, and in the build-up to the Games he | :52:45. | :52:47. | |
sat down with a man who knows all about winning the big race. | :52:48. | :52:58. | |
Yeah, good to go! How do you find running? I always loved football, | :52:59. | :53:08. | |
even when I was a little kid, we used to get loads of socks and bags, | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
rapid round, we used to play with that, just go down the street, have | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
a kick around, that was it. I used to have quite a lot of energy, just | :53:19. | :53:26. | |
running around. I joined my father in Britain, in the UK, and I moved | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
here at the age of eight, not speaking a word of English. Was that | :53:31. | :53:35. | |
stuff? It was tough at times, you get through it, it taught me to be | :53:36. | :53:44. | |
grateful for what I do. Some of those experiences when you were a | :53:45. | :53:49. | |
young kid, good or bad, how they shaped you today, not just as a | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
runner, but as a person, as a father, as a man. Sometimes it is | :53:54. | :53:58. | |
hard, because now I am a father of four kids, and I spend so much time | :53:59. | :54:03. | |
away from them, it is difficult. The best thing for me is winning medals, | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
and I will continue doing that and getting out, it is worth all of that | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
sacrifice, and that is what really drives me. 2006, 2007, hearing he is | :54:12. | :54:22. | |
great, got this great potential, and I am going, OK, yeah, well, when is | :54:23. | :54:27. | |
it going to come? 2008 you didn't even make the final. But then in | :54:28. | :54:31. | |
London, amazing performance, and you have been dominating since then, | :54:32. | :54:35. | |
what was the difference in fully realising that potential? There was | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
a lot of stuff I was missing, I was missing the coach who could help you | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
to the next medal, someone who could talk to you, but you through like | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
Alberto has done, changing me as an athlete. There was obviously some | :54:49. | :54:57. | |
tough times with Alberto Salazar, the investigation, take me through | :54:58. | :55:01. | |
what you were thinking, as you dealt with that situation. To be honest | :55:02. | :55:07. | |
with you, I was disappointed with how the media turned against me, | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
wrote so many negative articles, and there was nothing I was in control, | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
I tried to be honest, I've always said any allegations against him, if | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
he has crossed the line, I am the first one out. Every championship | :55:23. | :55:32. | |
now, you go in as favourite. I like that, it puts you at there, I am the | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
favourite, and I have done well in the past going in as favourite. I | :55:38. | :55:44. | |
liked that position, what do you like about being favourite? It is a | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
confidence boost, definitely a confidence boost, believing in | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
myself, knowing that I am a better athlete than I was four or five | :55:54. | :56:00. | |
years ago. Such a great smile, how bad were | :56:01. | :56:03. | |
those chairs for the interview?! I have never seen an interview take | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
place on the worst chairs, but Mo Farah and Michael Johnson did a | :56:08. | :56:12. | |
great job. Super Saturday take two, and throughout tonight I know a lot | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
of you will be sticking matchsticks on your eyes tomorrow will be one of | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
those days where you wander around in a strange days, so if you are | :56:21. | :56:24. | |
watching this evening, sent through how you are watching, what you are | :56:25. | :56:30. | |
doing, that is the hashtag on screen. BBC Sport will be sharing | :56:31. | :56:34. | |
that, hopefully putting a compilation threw together | :56:35. | :56:37. | |
throughout the evening as well. The way it works, it is all on BBC One, | :56:38. | :56:44. | |
earlier I said the tennis was on BBC One, but it was on BBC Two. I know | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
some of you have been annoyed about channel switching, we never do it on | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
BBC Four! It is all on BBC One from now on, throughout the rest of the | :56:55. | :56:58. | |
evening, everything, athletics and then swimming as well, the last ever | :56:59. | :57:03. | |
appearance from Michael Phelps at an Olympic Games is at three o'clock in | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
the morning. If you can take it through until then, congratulations. | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, heptathlon | :57:13. | :57:15. | |
javelins starts at 12:30, Greg Rutherford is doing the long jump at | :57:16. | :57:18. | |
one o'clock in the morning, Mo Farah... Oh, here are the boys | :57:19. | :57:25. | |
collecting the bins. This is an knightly stop, evening, gentlemen! | :57:26. | :57:35. | |
Hola! Fran Halsall is in a final in the pool at two o'clock, and then | :57:36. | :57:40. | |
add to: 50, if you can stay up that long, that is when the habitat | :57:41. | :57:43. | |
Lonmin Bulls will be handed out, because that is the final event, the | :57:44. | :57:49. | |
800 metres. -- that is when the heptathlon medals will be handed | :57:50. | :58:00. | |
out. We are going to go to beach volleyball now, that is what we are | :58:01. | :58:04. | |
going to do, we can tell you who is playing, Netherlands of against the | :58:05. | :58:08. | |
Swiss, all the way down at the end of Copacabana. It would take is 25 | :58:09. | :58:14. | |
minutes to walk down, it is amazing, look at the lights, a three sided | :58:15. | :58:22. | |
stadium, with the open side open to the ocean. | :58:23. | :58:35. | |
This is knockout beach volleyball, the last 16, where it gets serious, | :58:36. | :58:42. | |
and they are just being announced on the sand, so commentary on this one | :58:43. | :58:52. | |
is live, enjoy it all, BBC One through the night now for athletics | :58:53. | :58:58. | |
and swimming, the choice is yours. Please welcome all the way from | :58:59. | :59:02. | |
Switzerland, the heavy hitting opponents, none other than Nadine | :59:03. | :59:15. | |
Zumkehr! Nadine Zumkehr is the smallest athlete in the matchup | :59:16. | :59:25. | |
tonight, she stands at five. -- five but she is quick. | :59:26. | :59:47. | |
Joana Heidrich is the tallest athlete out here. The Netherlands | :59:48. | :59:53. | |
have won all four meetings they have had here against the Swiss. They are | :59:54. | :00:03. | |
batting 1000 in this matchup. The Dean 's car Marleen van Iersel and | :00:04. | :00:17. | |
Madelein Meppelink also ninth place finishes in the London Olympics. | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
This is the first Olympics for Joana Heidrich. | :00:27. | :00:55. | |
A good save by Marleen van Iersel Andy gives Madelein Meppelink a | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
second chance at that block. It has been so imperative for this | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Netherlands team to play loose and aggressive. | :01:06. | :01:33. | |
Nadine Zumkehr 's a drop shot goes short. | :01:34. | :01:52. | |
Marleen van Iersel has a very dangerous topspin. | :01:53. | :02:14. | |
Madelein Meppelink follows at all of the way. Just to be sure. She | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
blasted the ball. Hammering Marleen van Iersel. What | :02:22. | :02:48. | |
patients in her defence. Madelein Meppelink has been doing a great job | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
of touching a lot of balls on the attack from Joana Heidrich. And | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
Marleen van Iersel just laying it out, and putting it down. She is a | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
gamer, folks. 4-2, the Netherlands lead. We switched sides. For those | :03:08. | :03:19. | |
of you that followed beach volleyball just through the | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
Olympics, we switch sides on multiples of seven as the first two | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
sets are played to 21. If it goes to a third and deciding set it is | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
played to 15 and the athletes will switch sides on multiples of five. | :03:33. | :03:50. | |
Good defensive play on both sides of the net, by Nadine Zumkehr and | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
Marleen van Iersel. Marleen van Iersel seem to have a bit of a | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
glitch in that attack and waited just a bit too long to pull the | :04:04. | :04:04. | |
trigger. The Swiss putting a lot of pressure | :04:05. | :04:21. | |
on the Netherlands with their serving. A good touch by Nadine | :04:22. | :04:39. | |
Zumkehr. She was there. Marleen van Iersel still ripping her jumping. | :04:40. | :04:59. | |
A real smooth Highline ballroom by Marleen van Iersel. | :05:00. | :05:33. | |
Joana Heidrich tallies her first block. She lets everyone know about | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
it. A good call by Marleen van Iersel. | :05:41. | :06:02. | |
It seemed to somewhat surprised Madelein Meppelink, she might have | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
had other intentions in that. But really trusted her partner on that | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
call. She is very good with that crosscourt, cross body. Switch | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
sides. 7-7. Madelein Meppelink and Marleen van Iersel finished second | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
in their Paula, after defeating Venezuela, Costa Rica and losing a | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
hard-fought battle with Australia. Great placement by Nadine Zumkehr | :06:36. | :06:50. | |
over the block of Madelein Meppelink. When the backcourt | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
defender breaks for the line ball, that angle just needs to clear the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
block, it doesn't necessarily need to be to shop. Just hit it where | :07:04. | :07:13. | |
they are not. What is served by Joana Heidrich! She gets her first | :07:14. | :07:26. | |
ace. The Swiss are serving extremely tough here in set number one. The | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
lead 9-7. Nadine Zumkehr salvages it, Joana | :07:31. | :08:03. | |
Heidrich puts it away. That is a momentum shift. We have been | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
exchanging points here, and the Swiss have taken control. | :08:10. | :08:42. | |
Hammering is Joana Heidrich, staying behind the ball really well. Staying | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
patient. Nadine Zumkehr is there. As is | :08:45. | :09:09. | |
Marleen van Iersel. She puts the ball away. 9-10. Excuse me, 9-11. | :09:10. | :09:20. | |
One point to technical time-out. The feisty Joana Heidrich scores | :09:21. | :09:51. | |
through Madelein Meppelink. Technical time-out touts 9-12 in set | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
number one. The Swiss are in the lead in the round of 16. The winner | :09:56. | :10:06. | |
advances to the quarterfinals. The loser will finish with a ninth. | :10:07. | :10:19. | |
A look at the road for Joana Heidrich and Nadine Zumkehr. They | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
beat Germany, they beat the Netherlands, and they lost to | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
Canada. They also finished second in their pool. Switzerland comes into | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
the Olympics as the number 17 seed. The Netherlands are the sixth seed. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
The Netherlands are rocking their classic orange and Switzerland in | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
black tonight. The Netherlands are so disciplined | :10:55. | :11:29. | |
with their skill sets and their setting skills. | :11:30. | :11:45. | |
We promise you a very, very solid match from these defensive teams. | :11:46. | :12:16. | |
This was take time out, trying to stop the momentum of the | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
Netherlands. They have strung together three quick points out of | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
the technical time-out. The beach volleyball venue is the hottest club | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
in town. If you happen to score a ticket, be prepared. You get put to | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
work. Madelein Meppelink, she gets her | :12:48. | :13:23. | |
second block of the night. No, that's her third. Ace serve Madelein | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
Meppelink. Nadine Zumkehr scores a great ball | :13:30. | :13:53. | |
on a fall away cut shot. Madelein Meppelink came out of the | :13:54. | :14:33. | |
technical time-out and has absolutely turned his game around | :14:34. | :14:34. | |
for the Netherlands. Nadine Zumkehr scores quick off the | :14:35. | :14:51. | |
block. Van Iersel is there. But Heidrich | :14:52. | :16:20. | |
gets the kill. Pace serve, Nadine Zumkehr. -- ace. | :16:21. | :17:01. | |
That takes their tally to 2-1 apiece, Netherlands still hold onto | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
the lead 17-16. It sounds like there is a lot of | :17:04. | :17:30. | |
Dutch in the house tonight! But Zumkehr making some noise for | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
the Swiss, 18-17, they switch sides. That is good beach volleyball right | :17:41. | :18:25. | |
there! That is what you want to see on a stage like this. Good scramble | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
play by the Swiss, Heidrich covers herself on the way down. Van Iersel | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
gets dirty. We are all tied up. Marleen van Iersel celebrating the | :18:40. | :18:59. | |
fact that Madelein Meppelink might have just amazed that ball! -- just | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
missed. That Kat shot is textbook by | :19:08. | :19:35. | |
Zumkehr. -- cut. Catching a few digits of Heidrich, | :19:36. | :19:55. | |
the Netherlands has the first set point of this match, 21-19. | :19:56. | :20:14. | |
Madelein Meppelink enjoying that final point. The Swiss are causing a | :20:15. | :20:29. | |
lot of stress for the team from the Netherlands, 21-19, Netherlands wins | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
set number one. Set one was back and forth, back and | :20:34. | :21:25. | |
forth until Madelein Meppelink slammed the door. A lot of pressure | :21:26. | :21:37. | |
put on the Netherlands by the Swiss serving, they have two aces but have | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
created a lot of plays in just getting the Netherlands out of | :21:47. | :21:56. | |
system. Madelein Meppelink has three blocks, and Marleen van Iersel is | :21:57. | :21:57. | |
running the back court like a boss. It is her fourth, that building is | :21:58. | :22:35. | |
built well. Zumkehr goes back to her cut, no | :22:36. | :23:16. | |
need to go away from it if it works every time. | :23:17. | :23:43. | |
It is the same arm swing, same hand position for Zumkehr, since she is | :23:44. | :23:53. | |
on the right side of the court. Wrist falling away, she does it on | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
the left side, she does it on the right side. Swiss lead 3-1 here in | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
set number two. What a get! Advantage Holland, | :24:05. | :24:44. | |
Zumkehr is there. Wrist away, and she hammers it down the line. | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
Great turnout of the block, that is an athletic move by Madelein | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
Meppelink, Marleen van Iersel just coming to the aid of her team-mate. | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
Nadine Zumkehr is scoring a lot. You Wanna Heidrich gets her second | :25:06. | :25:22. | |
block. -- Joana Heidrich. Meppelink missing just wide, Holland | :25:23. | :26:00. | |
is going to take a time out, 6- do they trail here in set number two, | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
to Heidrich Zumkehr of Switzerland. -- 6-2 they trail. The winner of | :26:06. | :26:18. | |
this world play the Brazilian team in the quarterfinals. The Canadians | :26:19. | :26:28. | |
did work against to advance through to played the German team. | :26:29. | :27:10. | |
Zumkehr asks for a challenge, whether that ball was in or out. | :27:11. | :27:41. | |
It is nice to have the challenge system in place here at the | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
Olympics. That one was unsuccessful, but it sure serves as a great aid | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
for our referee and line judges out here working so hard to get the call | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
right. Joana Heidrich scores crosscourt, | :27:59. | :28:06. | |
3-7 the Swiss lead. . Play by Marleen van Iersel! To | :28:07. | :29:07. | |
have the patience and wait for that pokey she created. A broken play | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
from the Swiss. A lot of times, with such a great and obsessive -- | :29:15. | :29:18. | |
aggressive set by Nadine Zumkehr on that, she could create some | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
problems. Nadine Zumkehr stayed patient and scored a point for the | :29:23. | :29:29. | |
Madelein Meppelink, just a huge presence at the net. Not giving them | :29:30. | :29:56. | |
an inch. Marleen van Iersel a few years ago was the best server on | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
planet Earth. Last year she was voted the best setter. She does it | :30:01. | :30:12. | |
all. The ball was wide. 7-7, switch sides. We all tied up in set number | :30:13. | :30:14. | |
two. Time-out Swiss. Again, Madelein Meppelink. That is | :30:15. | :31:38. | |
her sick. -- six. She is saying, up, Holland! A lot of support here | :31:39. | :31:56. | |
in Rio for the Dutch team. Both sides are battling out here. | :31:57. | :33:14. | |
Both sides very well prepared for one another. It's been evenly | :33:15. | :33:24. | |
matched through this whole set. Blasting through is Nadine Zumkehr. | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
She's scores every time she gets it. Just wide. Sometimes when you are | :33:29. | :34:06. | |
squeezed to one side of the court you forget that there's a whole | :34:07. | :34:16. | |
other half to it. Joana Heidrich with the block. And we go to our | :34:17. | :34:27. | |
technical time-out, 9-12. Switzerland lead. | :34:28. | :35:43. | |
Nadine Zumkehr is all over the place. She extends the Swiss lead to | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
four. Great back and forth play out here | :35:50. | :36:56. | |
in set number two. The Swiss score a quick three points | :36:57. | :37:21. | |
out of the technical time-out. It is the same scenario as the first set, | :37:22. | :37:26. | |
except it has gone to the Swiss. The Swiss were leading set number one at | :37:27. | :37:31. | |
the technical time-out, 9-12, after that technical the Netherlands came | :37:32. | :37:39. | |
out and scored three straight, to tie it up. Here we have the Swiss | :37:40. | :37:45. | |
extending their leads, the Netherlands having some ball control | :37:46. | :37:53. | |
issues which is not normal for them. Nadine Zumkehr. She is playing so | :37:54. | :38:08. | |
sharp. A challenge by the Netherlands on | :38:09. | :38:18. | |
in/ out call for this ball. It doesn't get closer than that. It | :38:19. | :39:13. | |
is successful. The Netherlands stops that run. No. No, they don't. Excuse | :39:14. | :39:20. | |
me. So a 5-0 run by Switzerland before | :39:21. | :39:37. | |
Netherlands gets into double digits. Joana Heidrich. It may be a liner | :39:38. | :40:11. | |
shot, but it is Nadine Zumkehr of Switzerland that is just picking | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
apart the Dutch. And that does it for set number two. | :40:16. | :42:27. | |
The Swiss win 21-13. A 9-12 technical and then they went on to | :42:28. | :42:35. | |
score nine, five of those right away. The Netherlands got four. | :42:36. | :43:31. | |
It has been Nadine Zumkehr and her steady play that has brought the | :43:32. | :43:39. | |
Swiss back to life. Both sides have the capacity to get | :43:40. | :44:29. | |
pretty feisty. If we are going to see any of that it will be here in | :44:30. | :44:31. | |
the third set, no doubt about it. Nadine Zumkehr deep back there, | :44:32. | :44:57. | |
talking Holland into hitting at her. She is just too good right now. | :44:58. | :45:16. | |
Off the hands of Joana Heidrich goes Madelein Meppelink, Nadine Zumkehr | :45:17. | :45:22. | |
has four gold medals to her name. We switch sides, Swiss lead 3-2. | :45:23. | :45:52. | |
Early in set number three. The Netherlands won set number 121-19, | :45:53. | :45:59. | |
the Swiss had total control of set number two, winning 21-13, and here | :46:00. | :46:06. | |
we are, a fight to the quarters. Crossbody goes Marleen van Iersel. | :46:07. | :46:52. | |
That play is so gangster, it is so smooth. Marleen van Iersel is a 2015 | :46:53. | :47:05. | |
best setter on the world tour. Nadine saying, don't worry about it, | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
but you might want to worry about that, because that was tough. | :47:10. | :47:23. | |
Madelein Meppelink just in a little bit of a Frank here. | :47:24. | :48:10. | |
The Netherlands known for their ball control, Andy Swiss have put some | :48:11. | :48:19. | |
serious pressure on their serve reception. Off the chest, Madelein | :48:20. | :48:29. | |
Meppelink gets it up, I didn't think she was there in time! And Nadine | :48:30. | :48:37. | |
Zumkehr put it away, but that is a lot of celebration through the net | :48:38. | :48:43. | |
being allowed by our officials. What a play, what a dig! | :48:44. | :48:59. | |
This time, knuckle back to keep, that takes some serious guts. The | :49:00. | :49:26. | |
safe option would be to just set your partner. Madelein Meppelink | :49:27. | :49:35. | |
trying to settle in here. She has been in a funk. Marleen van Iersel | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
trying to calm her down with some very crafty play. Nadine Zumkehr, | :49:41. | :49:48. | |
she is everywhere. IN AUDIBLE CONVERSATION | :49:49. | :50:52. | |
Nadine Zumkehr is a ball, and she is putting on a show. | :50:53. | :51:00. | |
-- baller. The winner of this round of 16 advances to the quarterfinals. | :51:01. | :51:20. | |
Baby line, Nadine Zumkehr. She is a lot to handle right now, folks, and | :51:21. | :51:34. | |
she is the smallest player on the court. Just picking it apart. | :51:35. | :52:34. | |
That ball goes long, the Swiss extend their lead by five. The | :52:35. | :52:43. | |
Netherlands are running out of time. Madelein Meppelink came out with a | :52:44. | :54:00. | |
knee taped. And Switzerland have been picking on her all night, | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
serving her every ball, putting a lot of pressure on her. She has six | :54:05. | :54:15. | |
blocks in this match so far. But she is kind of in a funk. Marleen van | :54:16. | :54:20. | |
Iersel trying to find crafty ways to score, and she has been. 6-12 | :54:21. | :54:30. | |
Switzerland leads here in set number three. | :54:31. | :54:44. | |
Volleyball is such a game of momentum, momentum swings, managing | :54:45. | :54:58. | |
pressure. The Swiss have a way of stealing energy in their feisty | :54:59. | :55:06. | |
play, and Nadine Zumkehr has been near flawless tonight. | :55:07. | :55:20. | |
The Netherlands Federation has an incredible team behind them. The | :55:21. | :56:01. | |
Dutch are coached by American Angie acres, who has done wonderful things | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
with this team, which has been together since 2014. It's with, | :56:06. | :56:16. | |
Heidrich and Zumkehr, have been together since 2013. -- the Swiss. | :56:17. | :56:24. | |
The winners today will face off against the hometown favourites, | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
this place will be rocking. It seats 12,000. | :56:29. | :56:46. | |
At that Meppelink, playing pretty gingerly on that day, not wanting to | :56:47. | :56:59. | |
put too much pressure on it. -- that knee. Getting her all doctored up. | :57:00. | :57:08. | |
Here Switzerland leads 12-6 in the third set. | :57:09. | :57:47. | |
Decided to leave the tape off, our athletes take the court again. | :57:48. | :58:38. | |
Hammering, Madelein Meppelink, 7-12. Is that the momentum shifts that | :58:39. | :58:47. | |
they were looking for? And is it enough, is it in time? | :58:48. | :59:05. | |
And they get two out of the time out, 8-12, switch sides. Marleen van | :59:06. | :59:17. | |
Iersel blasting a jump serve, which is hard to do under these | :59:18. | :59:21. | |
circumstances, without much time to think about it. And then coming up | :59:22. | :59:28. | |
with the big dig against Nadine Zumkehr, who has been scoring at | :59:29. | :59:29. | |
will for the Swiss. Van Iersel laying it down, but | :59:30. | :59:46. | |
Zumkehr puts it out of her reach, 8-13 Switzerland lead. | :59:47. | :00:18. | |
Pierre video challenge for a touch call. | :00:19. | :00:43. | |
Centimetres, that's what it comes down to. 9-13 the Swiss lead. | :00:44. | :01:17. | |
Squeezing it through is Nadine Zumkehr of Switzerland! Nadine was | :01:18. | :02:13. | |
just so steady, so precise, she was a surgeon out there. Knowing exactly | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
when to break. Her timing in the back court was brilliant. Joana | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
Heidrich put up a good block, she had three in the match. But Nadine | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
Zumkehr was unstoppable, 172 centimetres of brilliance to night. | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
In the round of 16. She celebrates with her coaches up top. As that | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
team was well prepared. That is the first time they have beaten this | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
team from the Netherlands. So, the Swiss pair are through and | :03:01. | :03:21. | |
we'll have plenty more Beach Volleyball Arena next few days. They | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
go into the quarterfinals. There will be some good quality action on | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
the Beach Volleyball Arena over the next few days and we'll try to bring | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
you that same time every single night on BBC Four. On BBC One right | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
now, there is Greg Rutherford doing his business in the long jump final. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
His first job was 8.18, he was happy with that. Squeezed through | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
qualifying, the Olympic champion, hoping to redo the magic of four | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
years ago when he managed to win a gold medal. Jessica Ennis-Hill and | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson in that duathlon. Jessica Ennis-Hill will be | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
throwing the javelin very soon. All live on BBC One. You will see Mo | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Farah go in the 10,000 metres over the course of the next two hours. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
We're going to have live weightlifting later on. The men's | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
gold medal match in the 94 kilograms category, that is how we will keep | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
you entertained on BBC Four. You seen how shabby this is, imagine | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
what conditions are like for the sailors, not just Team GB, everybody | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
competing in the Marina da Gloria around the corner on the other side | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
of Sugarloaf Mountain. Shirley Robertson can bring an update on how | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
it's gone there today. Another big day at the sailing. Lots | :04:39. | :04:52. | |
of action out there on the Atlantic and inside the bakeware Giles Scott | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
hopes to consolidate his current gold medal position. | :04:57. | :05:08. | |
With sailing it's one of those sports you take another day, no | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
matter how many you've done, the venue here, the racecourses, | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
particularly inside, are very complex, quite tricky courses. The | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
topography here with Sugarloaf, Christ up high in the hills, it | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
creates some epic scenery, but it's not great for providing consistent | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
wind. Yeah, there's a lot of things we've got to battle against here in | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Rio. Giles Scott got what he had wished for when racing got underway | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
today, eight clean steady breeze. He could work his magic and impose his | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
four time World Championship form on his rivals. He pulled away to win | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
the first race of the day by some distance, taking his foot off the | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
gas before he crossed the finish line. In the second race of the day, | :06:04. | :06:13. | |
Scott consolidated his position with a cruise around the track to end the | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
day with a points lead starting to look impregnable. It's been a great | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
day for Scott and he's edging ever closer to that gold medal. Rio | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
delivered good conditions down there, nice consistent breezes, | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
which helped my day out today, felt like I was sailing fast and in the | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
right direction. Pleased to come out with 1-3. For Nick Thompson, today | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
was a day that really mattered. In his quest to add Olympic gold to his | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
winning haul. Going into the last two races, Thompson was sitting in | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
fourth. 100 metres to go, it's all going to come down to the final wind | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
shift for Nick Thompson and Great Britain. The double world champion | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
has put in a fantastic effort on this first leg, but unable to shake | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
off his rivals. We're set for a very congested first round. Canada | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
through, then Denmark. Here comes Nick Thompson of Great Britain | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
holding the Croatian back. A good result for Nick Thompson, he had to | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
fight extremely hard in this race. That is a good end. That result took | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
Thompson into the medals over the first in Rio. The upgrade was short | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
lived. The British laser sailor was buried in the pack in the final race | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
of the day and couldn't improve by the end. His 20 Second Place dropped | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
him sixth overall. The sun setting on his Olympic medal hopes. I think | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
it leaves me no chance of gold or silver, which is incredibly | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
disappointing, but a battle for the bronze medal, there will be plenty | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
of us in that position fighting for the bronze. The guy at third at the | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
moment has a bit of a gap, it's going to be tricky. One man's | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
slipped to sixth was another team's step up the ladder. Charlotte Dobson | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
and Sophie Ainsworth had three good races to move six in the 49 Fx. With | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
plenty of time to continue on that trajectory. Meanwhile the mixed | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
multi-held duo of Ben Saxena Nicola Gross will need a good day tomorrow | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
to stay on the podium. They slipped from second to third day in the big | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
ocean waves. Big thank you to Shirley for that. We promised | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
weightlifting on BBC Four, here we go, not sure how many of you are | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
still there, there is so much live athletics on the way on BBC One. See | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
what's going on over here, looks like a hen do, can we have a look? | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
There we go. A Brazilian hen party. They are clearly enjoying | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
themselves. They seem to be all tied together as well. Magnificent | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
scenes, maybe that's how you do it in Brazil. The bride, the bride. The | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
bride, can we see the bride? There she is. | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
Come on then. Write... This could be interesting. Come on... Hello. | :09:19. | :09:34. | |
Hello, I'm down to what is your name? My name's Maria. Are you from | :09:35. | :09:44. | |
Brazil? I am from Brazil in Rio now, but I live in Belo Horizonte. You | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
are clearly having a good night and your friends are here, you are the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |

You are getting married here on Copacabana. Yes, Copacabana Beach. | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
CHEERING I want to say something for my | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
husband. Is your husband having his stag do tonight, is he having a | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
party as well? He is at home. A message for your husband, keep it | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
clean. I hope he's watching BBC Four. In English if that's OK. I | :10:33. | :10:43. | |
love you so much, you are my love you are my crush. Is his name? You | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
had to think about his name. He has a nickname. This is magical, this is | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
a special moment for us all. Right... One last thing. We've got | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
some sport, people are waiting for the weightlifting. Do you want | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
weightlifting or Maria? The last thing to say... I want to say last | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
thing... Luminaries there, it's my football team. OK. I have attached | :11:21. | :11:33. | |
to. You are getting married in one month. Have a beautiful wedding, | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
thank you very much. See you later, enjoy the rest of your evening. They | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
just want to wave goodbye. CHEERING We're still on the telly. We're BBC. | :11:47. | :12:11. | |
BBC! You can leave graciously that way. BBC! BBC! This is lovely. Caen | :12:12. | :12:27. | |
BBC! BBC! This is lovely. Thank you very much. I appreciate the support | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
for the BBC as well, Maria. You're getting married, no one is going to | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
call you. See you later. Go on, go away, your husband is watching at | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
home. Thank you. Enjoy your evening, lovely to see you. Well, that was a | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
bit special, wasn't it? You don't get that on BBC One, do you? | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Goodbye, we love you, we love you all. Goodbye. BBC! BBC! I think we | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
got away with that. LAUGHTER Shall we have some weightlifting? | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
This is the gold medal match in the men's 94 kilograms category. Did | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
that really happen? You have to look out for the Belarus and world | :13:20. | :13:33. | |
champion. And also in contention. -- Sohrab Moradi also in contention. | :13:34. | :13:52. | |
There is a whiff of ammonium sulphate. It makes breathing a bit | :13:53. | :14:13. | |
easier. Ragab Abdalla with his first | :14:14. | :14:25. | |
attempt, 205 kilos. The body language says they look | :14:26. | :14:41. | |
comfortable. It is fair but it does not look | :14:42. | :15:19. | |
anywhere near as comfortable when he snatches. He was on fire for the | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
first half of the competition. It is a good left, so he has got a total. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
Right now that puts him in first place. It does, but it is worth | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
pointing out that while we have not had the most consistent of | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
competitions, all of these lifters are within a few kilograms of each | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
other, so it is very tight in terms of positioning. | :15:49. | :16:07. | |
Even if Sohrab Moradi was to run away with it, the silver and bronze | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
is still active. Sarat Sumpradit. This would put him in first place | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
for the moment. 177 after this match. -- the snatch. | :16:22. | :16:35. | |
To put him in the lead. He has got it. That is far better in the jerk | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
than McLean, he had to work very hard in McLean. A little bit soft -- | :16:47. | :16:58. | |
clean. It was a little bit soft. He is anything but, look at him! He | :16:59. | :17:09. | |
catches it high and rides it in, because he is so strong, generates | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
so much hyped on the bar, good position. I reckon there will be | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
gentlemen sitting at home with their partners with physique and the right | :17:20. | :17:29. | |
now. -- physique envy. Which is OK, as long as your partner does not | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
have it! When you spend up to five hours a day in the gym six days a | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
week, your main focus is on developing the quads, the glutes and | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
the lower back but everything gets developed. Just moving the weights | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
around would involve your arms. The leverage, as you call them. His | :17:52. | :18:08. | |
recorded best, of two to zero, he is down at 208 at the moment. -- 220. | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
The second. Tough for a first attempt. How much | :18:14. | :18:33. | |
did it take out of him? There was a wobble in the elbow. He does not | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
look back confident but the referees have cleared it. -- look that | :18:38. | :18:46. | |
confident. I thought there was a flicker in his right arm. He has | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
recorded 208 and moves into second place. The rules are very strict in | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
weightlifting. There has to be no movement at all in the arms. There | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
is definitely movement in the elbow, sorry. Lucky to get away with it. | :19:07. | :19:23. | |
Ali Hashemi from Iran. His best recorded left is 212. -- lift. | :19:24. | :19:54. | |
Splits nice and wide to get the body underneath the bar. Moves into first | :19:55. | :20:22. | |
place. Well, good speed in his lifting, drops quickly into the | :20:23. | :20:23. | |
squat position. Watch how fast he changes direction, | :20:24. | :20:39. | |
he is right under, adjusts the hands to make it easier overhead. Split | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
nice and wide. Good lifting. We saw Aurimas Didzbalis really | :20:43. | :20:59. | |
struggle. This would put him in first position. | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
That is OK. He has got a really dodgy elbow lock. He did it anyway. | :21:09. | :21:21. | |
Yes. It is always difficult when an athlete does not have a great elbow | :21:22. | :21:33. | |
lock. No problems there. 210. Total of 387 to come with a couple of | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
lifts to come and he is on top. Short on the extension on the clean. | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
Still manages to rack it in. Really having to work hard to keep the bar | :21:46. | :22:00. | |
overhead. His personal best is 204, a massive personal best in the | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
snatch, but this would only put him into second. He was locked at 177 | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
with the Lithuanian but he is the heavy lifter. This would put him | :22:12. | :22:21. | |
into second place. Kilo personal best on the bar. -- six kilo. | :22:22. | :22:37. | |
He has got it. Yes, he is OK. Well done. I think he took the down | :22:38. | :22:58. | |
signal before he got an extra stepped. For a tour guide, he gets | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
into some great positions. Brilliant lifting. Yes, great performance, | :23:04. | :23:14. | |
massive personal best in the snatch, and a nice one here for the clean | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
and jerk. Ragab Abdalla, if he is successful, | :23:17. | :23:51. | |
at 211, it would move him into third place. He took 174 from the snatch. | :23:52. | :24:19. | |
Very short. Debt, hardly drove up words before he tried to move. That, | :24:20. | :24:33. | |
I should have pointed it out before, was to match his personal best. He | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
has got his work cut out. One attempt remaining to do that, the | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
clean was so hard, he did not have enough energy left for the jerk. | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
Stands up, adjusts the hands. Just not enough drive. While all that is | :24:52. | :25:04. | |
going on, in terms of the replay, he will have to back up. Sarat | :25:05. | :25:23. | |
Sumpradit has come back up. Aurimas Didzbalis will have to decide to | :25:24. | :25:34. | |
come back up -- Ragab Abdalla. He has to go up to buy some more time. | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
He is not ready to come straight back out. That rule does the | :25:39. | :25:47. | |
athletes no favours. He has nominated 215 for his next attempt. | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
He is going for it, nothing to lose, I guess. | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
Sarat Sumpradit has also gone up again. | :26:01. | :26:13. | |
Dmytro Chumak is next out. He was down at 174 in the snatch and this | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
would move him into third position. If he was successful. It is his | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
first attempt at the clean and jerk. He is all over the place, the wobbly | :26:25. | :26:42. | |
boot. He pushed the bar out in front. | :26:43. | :26:53. | |
Wasted first attempt. It is not what he planned. He does not appear | :26:54. | :27:02. | |
comfortable. He missed his first two snatches, well down on his personal | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
best, there is obviously something going on. He stands up well out of | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
the clean. Narrow hand spacing, he is never underneath the bar. His | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
shoulders were way behind the bar. Got to have your body underneath to | :27:17. | :27:26. | |
support that kind of weight. He will have to come back out. We | :27:27. | :27:47. | |
have seen a couple of lifters when they had to come back out, grab a | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
seat right next to the stage. He has not done that. | :27:54. | :28:05. | |
Here he comes. He posted 386 at Houston last year. Second attempt at | :28:06. | :28:19. | |
213 kilograms, this would move him into third place. | :28:20. | :28:29. | |
He got it. Well, got it 2-1, not sure that I saw an infringement, it | :28:30. | :28:46. | |
looked OK to me. He has got a majority decision, that is all that | :28:47. | :28:55. | |
matters. Nothing wrong with the clean. Elbows looked OK. Difficult | :28:56. | :29:06. | |
angle to see from. So, the final attempt of the competition for Sarat | :29:07. | :29:15. | |
Sumpradit. He ended this competition with a snatch of 166 and took it to | :29:16. | :29:23. | |
177, his best in the clean and jerk of 204 and this would put him in | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
first place, it would post a score that the others would have to chase. | :29:28. | :29:52. | |
This would be something. What has he got left? He has to stay underneath | :29:53. | :30:02. | |
it. Does really well. Look at that celebration. Well, from 204, up to | :30:03. | :30:16. | |
213 on the clean and jerk, a personal best. He has nailed all | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
this and he has a total that puts them on top with 379 when his | :30:23. | :30:30. | |
previous best total was 366, but is an awesome performance. | :30:31. | :30:43. | |
He's given him a total to chase. 379. I'm not sure it's going to be | :30:44. | :30:57. | |
good enough for medal overall. It could put him into third place. | :30:58. | :31:25. | |
The previous attempt was nowhere near. I didn't have odds on him | :31:26. | :31:36. | |
executing that on the third attempt. He's got up a couple of kilos as | :31:37. | :31:46. | |
well. Yes, you can celebrate. He's in bronze medal position at the | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
moment. Still got a couple of lifters yet to start. | :31:50. | :32:23. | |
Bersanau, this lift to take him to fourth place. We just had 173. Now, | :32:24. | :32:34. | |
the bar at 214. Taking a while to get himself | :32:35. | :32:58. | |
settled here. It's that a long time against the windpipe. Readjusted his | :32:59. | :33:06. | |
hands to get some oxygen in. It's allowed as long as it's not an | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
attempt at a jerk, which it clearly wasn't. When you go light-headed | :33:11. | :33:15. | |
there is a much you can do, you can fight it as long as you can. It's | :33:16. | :33:26. | |
really high on his neck. Trying to breed, short, sharp breaths, you | :33:27. | :33:30. | |
don't want to breathe deeply otherwise you lose chest position. | :33:31. | :33:38. | |
Bersanau has decided to go up, may as well to try and give him a shot | :33:39. | :33:56. | |
at medal. The next athlete out is Didzbalis. This is to put himself | :33:57. | :34:02. | |
into first place for the moment. 215 kilos. He does have a reported | :34:03. | :34:03. | |
personal best of 221. That's tough. He's got it overhead, | :34:04. | :34:29. | |
can he hold it? The referee is happy with it, that's all that matters. | :34:30. | :34:41. | |
I'm not sure how much more is there. He is working so hard on each of | :34:42. | :34:50. | |
these lists. Keep it nice and close. Fast under the bar. Big drive, | :34:51. | :34:58. | |
splits nice and even underneath. His biggest problem is his elbows. | :34:59. | :35:09. | |
Bersanau of Belarus currently sitting fourth, he missed his last | :35:10. | :35:17. | |
attempt at 214. He realised he needed 215 to put himself in a | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
middle position at the moment, that is where he's gone. This is for | :35:22. | :35:22. | |
third place. Last one was a struggle. Can he get | :35:23. | :35:46. | |
215? No, he can't. That's a shame he's left in the sixth position at | :35:47. | :35:49. | |
the moment. He's going to finish worse than that, I think, still a | :35:50. | :36:00. | |
couple more lifters yet to start. Straltsou, Moradi. Only five active | :36:01. | :36:02. | |
lifters left in the contest. Body behind the bar on the jerk. | :36:03. | :36:19. | |
Here is Moradi. 210 on the bar, I think. Looks easy. Dropped his chest | :36:20. | :36:31. | |
a bit there. Jokes slightly forwards. Needs to correct those | :36:32. | :36:35. | |
before he comes on the platform. He is looking strong. While that's been | :36:36. | :36:45. | |
going on, the bar has been moved to 220 kilos. And Straltsou of Belarus | :36:46. | :36:55. | |
is about to walk towards the stage and onto the platform for a lift | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
that would put him in third position. Just five lifters left. | :36:59. | :37:13. | |
I'm sure you can hear the stamping of the feet in the crowd, the | :37:14. | :37:16. | |
atmosphere really electric. So fast underneath the bar, wastes | :37:17. | :37:41. | |
no time, holds it overhead. Straight up into gold medal position. In a | :37:42. | :37:53. | |
strong position right now. He was a few kilos down. He was well down | :37:54. | :38:03. | |
from Moradi. And a couple behind the other two in fourth place after the | :38:04. | :38:08. | |
snatch. Here he is in first for the moment. | :38:09. | :38:24. | |
Ali Hashemi, this lift to take him second. He was up 173 after the | :38:25. | :38:33. | |
snatch. 220 on the bar. Big increase, ten kilos. Eight kilo | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
personal best, that's right. Whoa, I think his elbows touched his | :38:39. | :38:50. | |
knees. But it's the Olympic Games, you want | :38:51. | :39:04. | |
to put yourself in a position to get a medal, that's what he was trying | :39:05. | :39:10. | |
to do. I've not seen a live to take the bar off the floor quite so | :39:11. | :39:13. | |
slowly, we talk about the acceleration needed in the middle | :39:14. | :39:18. | |
part of a lift. The speed of the floor is irrelevant, as has been | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
demonstrated here. Never quite had a chance. As soon as your elbows | :39:24. | :39:25. | |
touched your knees, that is a failure. Chumak, to move into second | :39:26. | :39:36. | |
position for the moment. Again, the bar is still at 220. He missed a | :39:37. | :39:45. | |
couple in the snatch, he missed his first lift in the clean and jerk. | :39:46. | :39:52. | |
Pretty sad finish. It's a strong dead lift. Easy dead lift. He's in | :39:53. | :40:02. | |
the wrong sport, though. He looks relieved the competition's over for | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
him, not in a good place today. Just miss timed it, not sure his head was | :40:08. | :40:11. | |
ever there. You've got to believe you can do it. Just four lifters | :40:12. | :40:16. | |
left. There is a cranky man. I wouldn't be | :40:17. | :40:33. | |
asking for his autograph at the moment. 40 odd seconds left for | :40:34. | :40:47. | |
Hashemi to get out here. There are some lifters and some lifts to come. | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
Hashemi now making his way to the bar. His previous attempt, just | :40:52. | :41:02. | |
collapsed underneath. He needs to maintain a nice strong back position | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
here. If he's going to have any chance of standing. This to put him | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
temporarily at least in second position. His final lift. For the | :41:14. | :41:28. | |
Olympics. Can he stand? No. He's out of medal contention. He'll go back | :41:29. | :41:39. | |
and think about that. He remains in sixth position. He avoided the | :41:40. | :41:46. | |
Albert at this time, didn't quite have the legs to stand up. Back to | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
the training room, more squats needed. He's back out, what's going | :41:53. | :42:08. | |
on there? Aurimas Didzbalis has come to the platform, and it's not him, | :42:09. | :42:14. | |
it's Moradi. Moradi who led by five kilos after the snatch with his | :42:15. | :42:20. | |
first attempt at the clean and jerk at 251 kilos. Which represents a | :42:21. | :42:30. | |
personal best. But we are told he claims, he has treated, a world | :42:31. | :42:37. | |
record in training. -- he has tweeted. Look at that, powerful. And | :42:38. | :42:46. | |
he's got it. He's held onto first place. I'm just wondering what | :42:47. | :42:57. | |
happened to him. We saw the 110, 210 in the warm up room, he was down as | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
225 to come out for his first attempt, I don't think he's in the | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
kind of shape we were hoping to see. 221, he's got that on the board, | :43:08. | :43:11. | |
he's up into the lead, but by no means certain. Straltsou has posted | :43:12. | :43:20. | |
232nd attempt. Not a good joke position. Big arch of the lower | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
back. Didzbalis is chasing silverware here. That was to put him | :43:26. | :43:33. | |
into second. His third and final attempt. Look at that. He's on the | :43:34. | :43:42. | |
podium. He cannot finish off the podium, third place is the worst | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
thing he can do. He had a crack at Silver. He's going to walk away with | :43:49. | :43:56. | |
bronze. Remember he missed London due to a doping ban, bombed out at | :43:57. | :44:00. | |
the World Championships last year, now finds himself on the Olympic | :44:01. | :44:02. | |
podium. 392 kilos. You've got to be tough to do | :44:03. | :44:24. | |
weightlifting. You've got to be tough to do it with their feet. -- | :44:25. | :44:35. | |
bare feet. The argument over gold and silver. Straltsou of Belarus, | :44:36. | :44:45. | |
currently in second. This lift to take into first place. 230 on the | :44:46. | :44:56. | |
bar, the world record is 233. Another attempt up his sleeve. | :44:57. | :45:05. | |
Can he stand? No. These weights are big asks now. I wouldn't say any of | :45:06. | :45:19. | |
these guys look super impressive in terms of consistency through this | :45:20. | :45:23. | |
competition. They are asking big questions. | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
As things stand at the moment, the man in the picture, Vadzim Straltsou | :45:29. | :45:37. | |
is in the silver medal position behind Sohrab Moradi. And he was a | :45:38. | :45:48. | |
couple of kilos behind in fourth spot after the snatch and has got | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
himself into the silver medal position. The only argument he has | :45:54. | :46:02. | |
got left is whether he will end up with the silver or gold. Because | :46:03. | :46:14. | |
Sohrab Moradi has opted for 231. When Vadzim Straltsou won the world | :46:15. | :46:20. | |
title last year, 230 was the weight that won it. We know he is capable | :46:21. | :46:31. | |
of that. Coming back out, put himself potentially in the gold | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
medal position, it would put him into first place and then waiting to | :46:36. | :46:41. | |
see what Sohrab Moradi is capable of doing. Are we about to see a gold | :46:42. | :46:55. | |
medal left? We may. No! So, he will depart with a silver medal. It is a | :46:56. | :47:01. | |
silver medal at the Olympics, be proud of yourself. | :47:02. | :47:14. | |
Well, we are going to see Sohrab Moradi. He is going for it. Does he | :47:15. | :47:22. | |
really believed he could have a pop at the world record. He has put it | :47:23. | :47:29. | |
on the bar with two attempts to go. So, Sohrab Moradi, he is gold | :47:30. | :47:36. | |
medallist. Can he now set a new world record in the clean and jerk? | :47:37. | :48:17. | |
Well, that does not look like a man who think they can do it. Will he | :48:18. | :48:28. | |
come back out? He does not need to come back out. If I was him, I think | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
I would start celebrating the gold medal right now. You cannot go | :48:33. | :48:38. | |
diving under these kind of weights if you do not believe it. He needs | :48:39. | :48:53. | |
to get psyched for this now, someone give him a wake-up call. You're on | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
an Olympic stage, come on! Collect the gold medal, come out and wave, | :48:58. | :49:04. | |
that is the other option. Do you want this? The chance to expand a | :49:05. | :49:12. | |
convicted grudge sheet on the record books. He is going to come out and | :49:13. | :49:15. | |
have a crack. Here he comes. Sohrab Moradi from | :49:16. | :49:45. | |
Iran. 47-year-old. He has lifted this weight in training but he has | :49:46. | :49:49. | |
to do it on the world's bigger stage to take the world record, he has | :49:50. | :49:52. | |
already secured the gold medal. Well the talk of training weights | :49:53. | :50:19. | |
and what you have done is irrelevant. Nonetheless, there is | :50:20. | :50:26. | |
sure Olympic champion. He did not have that 234 in him tonight but he | :50:27. | :50:31. | |
is an Olympic gold medallist. Well done. | :50:32. | :52:02. | |

threatening wrist injuries but got the better of the Spaniard and in | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
London four years ago, he lost in the final set 19-17 to Roger | :55:17. | :55:22. | |
