Day 8 BBC One: 19.00-22.00 Olympics

then, bang, through it goes and Rafa just watched it go.

Opening him up on the backhand. Felt the time was right to go to the

forehand side. It's close. Gives it a look, but no

challenge. So, once more Del Porto will be

serving to stay in the opening set. It's not just the calibre of the

tennis, the stature of the players, it's what they represent. Two of the

most popular tennis players in the last couple of decades. Koelbaek

Trow, because the crowd know what he's had to endure with his

surgeries that looked like they would take him out of tennis -- Delp

Trow. And Nadal because he is a pirate, at the age of 30 there is

something quite fresh and dramatic about him -- Delp Trow -- when

Martin Del Potro. He has had problems with his knees and now his

wrist. Never complains. He just inspires love around the world. I

think it is a general truth that Fedor is the most respected tennis

player because of what he represents, and he is a good guy,

but so much love for Rafa. The two of them, Fedor and the dial, change

the face of tennis -- Federer and Nadal. They are huge draws.

Del Potro is serving for the second time to stay in the opening set.

Just over 50 minutes, we've been going.

Yes, it got the line. Del Potro looking down, I think he thought it

was going out. Enough top-spin on it to drag it down.

So, the mis-hit putting Rafa within two points of the opening set. Such

an expensive wind-up. Occasionally it can go wrong, like that.

Great defence from Rafa and then his own huge forehand. Immense power,

out of nowhere. No. Nadal turned it around. From a

break down, he's won the first set, 7-5.

STUDIO: So, Nadal is in the driving seat, one more set would get him

through to the final against Andy Murray tomorrow. The semifinal

continues very shortly over on BBC Four. I will say farewell, that's

the end of the afternoon team's shift, I will hand over to the

evening team and Claire. The rollers in Rio, it is kind of a samba remix

of Super Saturday and the party has started already -- rowers. Fantastic

and potentially more gold to come from the evening team.

We will be focusing on the velodrome. We heard massive

cheering, the tennis stadium is behind us, as Rafa took the first

set. That continues on BBC Four. We are going to build up to hopefully

another golden night going around in circles. COMMENTATOR: Great Britain

making a flying start in the velodrome. Great Britain are in the

lead, but only just, it's so close! Coming towards the line and the gold

medal goes to Great Britain, the Olympic champions again! What a ride

and for the third time in a row, Great Britain are the

gold-medallists and Olympic champions in the men's team sprint.

It's a world record for Great Britain. And Britain topping the

line and they have broken the world record. It's coming down to the last

lap here, will it be Britain, Australia? It will be Great Britain,

in a world record time. Sensational cycling here in Rio. Brilliant,

brilliant stuff. Quite a face to make! Gold so far

for Callum Skinner and company and force Bradley Wiggins, Ed Clancy,

Owain Doull in the team pursuit. The women's team pursuit, they broke the

world record is today and this morning, Laura Trott, Joe Rawal Zol

and company, taking on team USA for the gold medal at about 9:14pm --

grouse all. High hopes for Becky James in the keirin, that is a very

fast and dangerous and exciting race as well. Definitely busier this

afternoon than it has been so far at these Olympic Games. You get the

feeling they are starting to embrace it here in Rio. Here are the

headlines. Great Britain ending the Olympic

rowing regatta in style with the men's eight leading from start to

finish to win gold, their first since the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

And there was a first ever Olympic medal for the Team GB women's eight,

taking silver behind the USA, who were winning goal for the third

Games in a row. -- winning gold. Andy Murray has booked his place in

the Men's Singles final with a straight sets victory over Japan's

Kei Nishikori. He will play Nadal or Del Potro who are in progress at the

moment. The gold-medal match is tomorrow.

And we are in for a thrilling conclusion to the heptathlon,

Belgium's Thiam has nudged through, and constant Johnson --

Johnson-Thompson is in third place. This is how things look. We will

catch up on the rowing action and then I'll be talking to Jazz Carlin

after her two Silver Medal is. She'll be joining me. We have the

men's sprint quarterfinals from 8pm and then the women's keirin, Becky

James, and the team pursuit, 9pm is when you want to tune in for that

race. If you want to catch up on everything so far or see some days

that have gone by, go to the website and there are 24 sports available in

full. As you are aware, it has been a weather disrupted programme at the

Lagoa in terms of the rowing. Gold medal is already full the men's four

and the women's pair but it finished with the blue ribbons event, the men

and women's eight. COMMENTATOR: Gorgeous views down at the Lagoa

Stadium. Deep breath. Never been done for the British in the women's

eight. This was my one concern, beating the British by half a

length. The British are in medal position. Great Britain, in the

silver medal position here. The Americans have gone. The Brits are

fighting for the silver. The Romanians are coming back, they are

level with 100 metres to go. Come on, Britain. Britain going into the

record books with a medal. Hang on, girls! They've absolutely done it.

I'm so proud of these nine girls, and about 50 more behind us who got

us here. I had no doubt, even when we will ask that we would get

through. They are strong, sassy and inspirational and I'm so happy to be

with them. I couldn't have dreams of a more amazing experience. So, so

much trust in every single one of them and now a generation of British

rowers, they can believe. We are down now, the peace and tranquillity

for the last time and the Lagoa Stadium, which has done its job. --

at the. The blue ribbon event leaving the start. This is the way

to do it. They can't rest but they will start to think that it is going

their way. Glorious shot. Glorious if you are British, they have the

fitness and the strength and they know exactly how to quickly go from

a to B and this is what they deserve. The Germans are giving it

one last push and so are the Netherlands. Just the last couple of

strokes and it is Great Britain, the eight are the Olympic champions and

that has a fantastic ring about it. What a way to do it, what a race.

These guys were magnificent today, absolute gladiators. That was the

angry is, the fiercest, that was really good. Everybody you upset by

missing your birthday and everything, thank you for putting up

with it, basically. Just the amazing bunch of guys, getting us ready for

that, that was a big race, I'm speechless.

Emotions were definitely running high. James Cracknell with me,

double Olympic champion, you heard in commentary, how do you reflect on

the rowing at these Olympics in terms of the venue and performances?

The venue is outstanding in terms of being a swimming pool with Christ

the Redeemer with the Copacabana behind, it is stunning. It is not a

man-made lake which made it is open to the element and the fact the sale

is so close to the rowing is generally not good because sailors

like wind and roars hated. Hibi the toughest venue ever? The crews have

faced delays, the New Zealand women's aid raced twice in the same

day because everything got slammed together and everything, look at it,

there are waking up not sure if they will race and when you miss a day

the governing body will try and raise anyway even in an fair

condition and if your lane is worse than the one next year is good make

for hundreds of the second difference, use or in the dead heats

that is a life changer. That effect on the men's eight winning gold,

said an introduction this year is regarded as the blue ribbon event at

it is a phenomenal thing to get eight men and a Cox that can perform

better than anyone else in the world. The Brits have had three wins

in the last three World Championships, but last year the

best four got taken out and put in the men's four for them to retain

the confidence and belief they can beat the Germans, the best eight

German rowers, the event they focus on is tremendous, they've beaten

them all season and today they did and that is what the Olympics are

about and getting it right on that one day every four years, but for

many of them, Andy Hodge and others have gold, silver and bronze medals

from London in -- and Beijing, they didn't want anything other than

gold, those are for years wasted if they did get caught. They pulled it

off and I have to congratulate Phelan Hill, that was quite a

balancing act. What about the woman, first-ever medal for the eight? The

gone through some disruption, there was talk of Kathleen Raine --

Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley coming in, and you rate

that? As a performance, they won their heat, the first time the

British women have ever got fired for the final, and because the

Americans won the other heat, America the USA and then 500 metres,

one quarter of the distance gone there in last place. Suddenly they

haven't got the resilience, the Americans have been unbeaten since

2005 season they weren't leading they would have had confidence we

would get the line whereas the Brits could have said we're in last, maybe

it is not on and they didn't crack, they picked the crews off one one

and came through and they won that silver, they beat every other crew

all the way down, this is the confidence that comes with the

history in the event for the Americans that saw them through.

Great Britain finished top in the medals table in terms of the

regatta, would you say that was a performance that was on par or

better than that? The funding of the sport is based on the predictions

made, so Britain predicted back in 2012 what we would win into a

deserted and we said 6-8, we won five, we are below predictions and

the big change is in London we got one gold and two silver, here none

made the final, which is where the drop came for the men's four and

men's eight winning is phenomenal and for the women's pair, it is

expected is a harsh thing because you must deliver it, they've raised

incredibly well yesterday, and the way crass and Ricky Thornley and

Vicky Thornley raced their file, those of the two best races they've

had in the two years and that is phenomenal on the big stage and very

rare, it will come back in as good as the most medals, she has medal at

five Olympics she's been too and that is for Arman Hall. Fantastic

her. There was a moment of controversial maybe that dead heat

in the singles sculls and the gold went to Drysdale of New Zealand, did

you think he definitely finish in front of Croatia? The thing is, it

isn't much I can feel, they put the image up, we did not see the full to

finish, they were not given the same time that it because given the same

time and my head was awarded the gold but on the big screen they

don't put the foot finish up, at the foot of finish and I couldn't tell

which way it went, so I thought make them rewrote it. Assuming they both

went as hard as they could come up -- as they could, go and do it

again. My hair is defending Olympic champion, Martin hasn't got a medal

so for him silver come he didn't expect come second. If my hair came

second something would have kicked off. Interesting. Ever honest. Thank

you so much, brilliant. Great racing, not my commentary. The

commentary was pretty good. Focusing in the water now and the first Welsh

Olympian to win two medals here at an Olympic Games. Jazz Carlin.

All these years I've trained these hours and these early mornings. I've

got to tell you, Jazz Carlin looks great. Will's Jazz Carlin in silver

medal position and holding well. Wonderful silver medal for Great

Britain. A confidence booster list will be. I honestly can't believe

it. I'm on the edge of tears. -- I honestly can't believe it. Jazz

Carlin is already looking strong and Constable. The deadly blowing the

field away, she will blow field away, the second story is the silver

medal. 3-way tie now. For that silver and bronze. Jazz Carlin

picked up the pace again, silver for climbing, -- for Jazz Carlin. Well

done jazz. An incredible feeling to be silver medallist. Not first Welsh

Olympian ever but the first 44 years to win two medals at the same games

in the -- at the first Welsh woman to win a medal in the pool since

1932. Fabulous return, look at those silver medals and such a difference

from four years ago when you missed London because you weren't well.

Four years ago I was watching on the sidelines cheering and now to be

part of the Olympics representing Team GB and come away with two

medals I'm over the moon, it feels so real. What will be the moment you

remember forever of? For me I was on the common beforehand and I watch

Adam Peaty break the world record and win gold and it inspired me to

my head goes on before I raced at going and wins over, I was over the

moon. With both of your races you had to contend with Katie Ledecky,

she has won four gold medals in the pool for the USA, how much you have

to think, I'm racing for second or is there a part of you that says,

I'm going to try and beat her? It is always difficult when you have

someone so incredible in your events, I try and stick to my race

plan and obviously I was fighting for those medals, trying to be on

the podium and to get my hand on the wall in silver position twice is

pretty special, voyeur behind someone so great. And the fastest

race ever. I know, the fastest podium swim on a hundred freestyle,

so to be part of that and Godinet two solid performances I was really

happy. Have you enjoy the experience? Luckily you didn't get

lost on a boss like Paul Farnham who mentored athletics arena by mistake

and easily final had been delayed. Luckily I had quite a smooth road

and enjoyed every minute. I'm enjoying my experience and I'm going

to be to James, one of my great friends, to note in the cycling and

I have my fingers crossed because I will root for her tonight. The

winner times you can do that and still get to the pool does abort

Fran. Definitely, they are both on the night and I'm excited, a massive

fan of Team GB and we will cheer everyone on for the next week when

I'm here. You can enjoy yourself now and I suppose eventually will take

the holiday because this has been a long preparation for you, so

detailed in the way you got ready for this committee is another oxygen

tent at home. Obviously we do a lot at home just to improve by that

small margin and it has managed to pay off here to get two silver

medals. I haven't got a holiday book but I hope to get one sorted when

I'm home and I cannot wait to go away somewhere and put my feet up

and relax and celebrate everything. You have swum phenomenally, well

done, enjoy watching Becky tonight. I'll see you in the velodrome later.

Many thanks to Jazz Carlin, great meet for her and the last night of

sleep tonight -- swimming tonight. It finishes off with the medley

relay, USA against Great Britain and Adam Peaty going in there. Andy

Murray is through to the gold medal match in the tennis. His defence of

his Olympic title starting in style and a fabulous rally to give himself

his third match point. Watch this. Moriya left sitting on his backside

but he knew that gave him a chance to serve once again for a place in

the gold medal match. He did it hugely emotionally, you know how

much this means Jim, carried the flag at the opening ceremony,

desperate to defend title here. It will be either Rafa Nadal -- Rob

Elder -- Nadal or Juan Martin Del Potro and they are still in action.

It is one each in the second set after Nadal took the first set. This

is what Murray said after his win. Congratulations, and Olympic

medallist once again. I'm very happy about that, today is a big match and

if you lose, obviously mentally you are down and you have to come back

the next day to try and win a medal and getting through today guarantees

you got one and you get a chance to play for goal. It is a great

position to be in, I'm very happy. After the scare you give us

yesterday you look much more comfortable today, the penultimate

point at the crowd on its feet, what was your assessment of the match? I

played a really good match, the last game obviously got quite tense, he

played a couple of great points, one break point on the first match

point, second match point, sorry. Obviously the Jews point was our

lucky shot at the end. -- douce. I'm sure. Plenty of practice behind

that. The other thing is Great Britain are up to third in the medal

table, another gold in rowing and silver this morning. As flag bearer

for the team, how much would it mean to add a gold to the tally tomorrow?

It would mean a lot, that was a huge honour for me, I was very proud to

get the chance to do that, the team has done extremely well over the

last few days, especially. I'm happy I've added a medal to the tally so

far, hopefully I can make it a gold one tomorrow but some amazing

achievements from everyone in the team and are very proud to be part

of it. Best of luck defending your title. Thank you. Catherine was the

questions there, let's get the very latest on Rafa Nadal against Juan

Martin Del Potro. This is live on BBC Four. Nishikori will go to a

bronze medal match against whoever loses this match. It looks from the

scoreboard like Del Porto is 2-1 up on serve. We will hope many of you

get up in the early hours of the morning to continue watching the

heptathlon, effectively this is Super Saturday, turning something

into an early super Sunday. Three heptathlon events last night,

Jessica Ennis-Hill was leading in defence of her title, Katarina

Johnson-Thompson sitting in third, the big danger is Belgian's nappy

TM. -- Siam Dott Diame -- Thiam. Katarina Johnson-Thompson a lifetime

best first day yesterday in fourth place, first event in Longdon. That

is a decent jump for Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the white flag

raised. 6.51 in round one, not great, she is capable of better.

Jessica Ennis-Hill. Leader overnight. A decent jump, 6.34 into

a strong wind, good stuff for Jessica Ennis-Hill, reigning Olympic

champion. Thiam. It is massive, look at that? Must have been over the

board. Into round two, Brianne Theisen-Eaton, it is a valid jump.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the second round, that is a big effort,

but it is a foul unfortunately. Johnson-Thompson, last round. It

isn't quite what we would have wanted. Jessica Ennis-Hill, third

jump in the long jump, she needs a big jump here, but if it came down

early. Here's Johnny Miller cello's reaction. Not happy. He knew that

was a chance to put daylight between her and the rest of the world. --

her coach's reaction. That is better, she likes it, 6.5 eight.

That will give Ennis-Hill something to think about. With the javelin and

800 metres to come later tonight, Thiam leads, Ennis-Hill is the

second and Katarina Johnson-Thompson is in third, it will be a

nail-biting finish today had taken on here in Rio. Sticking with the

long jump and specifically Longdon, Gregory Havret -- Greg Rutherford

snuck into the final. This was his final qualification jump, he had to

know jumps and it was enough to see him finish tenth out of 12 and his

final as he defends his title would get underway just before 1am. He had

to get it right, he did it. He is currently the holder of every long

jump title that exists and determined to win another gold medal

here in Rio. The main man in the 100 metres got

underway earlier today. He has been visiting the fabulous here in Rio,

and riding the bus, but this is what he came here for, the hundred

metres, and comfortable enough. Favelas. James Dasaolu finished in

third and he goes through as one of the fastest losers. Jo Pavey is

competing at her fifth Olympics, how are you? Fine, thanks. Were you

happy, your season's best? I would like to run quicker but I have had a

good season. I'm glad to be soaking it up, I enjoyed it and I gave it my

all. Crazy race but I enjoyed it. If you are giving advice to anyone

competing at their first Olympics, what would you say about it? Keep

trying, at school I dreamt of going to the Olympic Games and I never

thought I'd be doing five. Just learn along the way, I learned a lot

about what works for me and what didn't work. At my age I can use my

experience. When I was younger I was a bit inexperienced, kept getting

injured, thought I'd always be injured, but finding ways of

overcoming injury. Don't give up, follow your dreams. Your event is

particularly painful, so are you thinking that it hurts, or do you

think it's fun? I try and keep track of the pace, I have my lap times

memorised, I try and keep relaxed and stale my feet, so many people

fall down when there is 37 people like we had yesterday -- on my feet.

Keep relaxed but push hard when it starts to hurt, especially that

race, it's the Olympic Games, give everything. Dig deep. In the

cycling, the code stands that it held the team with their feet,

whether they are up or down, but you don't have anybody helping you, so

do you look at the clock? Some people were confused about how many

laps they had left. Because the leader was so far clear? Because the

leader broke the record by so much. Some people misjudged how many laps

they had left, it was really confusing. Because I had an

awareness of where I should be, I knew how many laps I had but it was

a confusing picture even for people watching. We switch attention to

another great distance runner tonight with Mo Farah, who was part

of that amazing trio of gold medals on Super Saturday four years ago.

Yes, did the job. How did you find running, how did it find you? I

always loved football, in Somalia when I was a kid, we would get a lot

of socks and we would play with it, like a football, going down the

street and having a kick around and that was it. I had quite a lot of

energy from just running around. We joined our Father in Britain, he was

in the UK, we moved here, the age of eight, not speaking a word of

English. Was it tough? It was tough, you get through it and it has helped

me, to be who I am and to be grateful for what I'm doing. Some of

those experiences when you are young kids, good or bad, it shapes you

today and not just as a runner, but as a father and a man. Sometimes it

is hard, I am a father of four kids and when you are away from them.

Much time, it's difficult. The best thing for me, winning medals and

continuing winning medals, then it's worth the sacrifice and that's what

really drives me. 2006, 2007, got this great potential and I'm going,

OK, yeah, when is it going to come and in 2008 you make the final and

then the Olympic Games in London, amazing performance. You've been

dominating since then. What was the difference in realising that

potential? A lot of stuff I was missing, I was missing a coach who

could help me to the next level and mentally, someone who could talk to

you. Alberto has done a lot in terms of changing me as an athlete. There

was obviously some tough times in the past, Alberto Salazar

investigation, take me through what you were thinking and how you dealt

with that situation. To be honest I was very disappointed, the way that

the media turned against me, writing so many never give -- negative

articles. I wasn't in control. I tried to be honest, tell the truth.

If there's any allegation against Alberto and it has come true and he

has crossed the line, I'm the first one out. Over the last four years,

every championship you go to as the favourite. Do you like that? I like

that. I think I'm the favourite and I've done well in the past going in

as the favourite. A lot of athletes don't like that position. I liked

it. I like it. What is it you like about being the favourite, the

confidence boost? Definitely the confidence boost, believing in

myself, knowing I'm a better athlete than I was four, five years ago. Mo

Farah, looking to become Britain's's first ever three-time Olympic

champion in athletics. He will go tonight, just after 1am. Jo knows

all about running ten kilometres. How difficult is it for Mo Farah if

the others gang up against him because it can be a difficult race

tactically? Mo Farah is the favourite and he can be competitive,

he can run fast, he has the powerful finish, it has been very hard for

anyone else to beat him. His preparations have gone well, he has

been at altitude putting in the work and he has come to the village in

relaxed form. We saw him getting a mass art, he was happy with how

things went. Fingers crossed for the historic race -- mass art. How much

does the success of the rowers, the swimmers and divers rub off on the

body else? Yes, the team have been doing amazingly, we have a big chart

for Team GB, the gold medals and the camaraderie and spirit have been

amazing. For me, soaking up the atmosphere, everyone has been doing

so well, we are getting a record medal tally for the away Games.

Spirit is very high in the camp. Are you going to the track tonight to

cheer them on? I am planning to, it is strange to be finished so soon.

For it to be over on the first morning, I can go to the stadium and

I can go and cheerful Mo Farah and also Andy and Ross. After all you've

done for British athletics, I think you deserve to enjoy the rest of the

Olympics! I'm going home midway through because of the kids, but

I've really enjoyed being part of the team, the youngsters that are

half my age! They inspire me, we have a great team and I'm loving it

and soaking it in. Lovely to see you again. And you, Cheers. Let me take

you through the timetable for the athletics if you're planning to stay

up or going to bed and getting up again.

The men's long jump, Greg Rutherford defending his title. The ten K: Mo

Farah. And then the final event for the women's heptathlon, the 800

metres. Could it be Super Saturday all over again? When I meet someone

for the first time, a lot of them tell me where they were on Super

Saturday. People want to be a part of that night. Crossing the line and

having my family. The atmosphere was incredible, it is a new experience.

I'll never experience it in my entire life. Knowing that I put

those events together and it had gone right, amazing feeling. That

gold medal changed everything. Did that really happen?

Super Saturday becomes sensational early morning Sunday. Four years ago

they won those gold medals in the space of 44 minutes, you won't have

to stay up for long but it will be worth it! Let's go to the water and

join Shelley Robinson for an update on the sailing. A lot is happening

today and I can hardly keep up. Next story for Team GB, Giles Scott, who

has one more day before his medal race and today he was on flying

form, first and third and now he is 16 points clear of his nearest

competitor. If he goes 20 points clear he will have won the gold

medal already. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. He'll be happy to have had

a strong day and consolidating his spot. Nick Thompson in the men's

single-handed, the laser class, the final day before his medal race. He

is in bronze position but it is very tight at the top, I'm looking

forward to the final, it is going to be a battle to the end. At my side

is the women laser, Alison Young is showing a good bit of form.

Generally, how are the conditions because in the park we have a bit of

wind. It is a peachy day here, it is 40 knots, sunny, it is lovely. Many

of the fleets have been racing in the Atlantic Ocean. It is like two

different venues, it is quite a place. Here, a lot of shifting and

flat water butt out there, massive seas, so we've seen it all in Rio --

but out there. We were worried about the quality of water for the sailing

but we didn't note the talking point would be the talking point at the

diving. Leon Taylor is there, we have Grace Reid in an event in Masoe

bring us up to date on that and the colour of the diving pool. She has

some work to do. The good news is that there is 18 women in the

semifinal and be cut down to 12, so if Grace goes up a gear, she will be

in the final. You can see behind me that the pool is still green,

looking more like a pond. The nearest colour I've come up with,

suggested to me, a bit like the Manchester shipping canal, colour

wise. Great stuff, thank you. You can follow the diving on its own.

Let's get an update on the tennis, Nadal against Dell four, the winner

playing Andy Murray in the gold final match. -- against Del Potro.

The winner will play Andy Murray in the final. Golf, reintroduced to the

Olympics and fair to say that nobody, certainly from Britain or

Europe embraced it more warmly than Justin Rose and he currently leads

on 12 under par from the open champion, Henrik Stenson. Let's pick

it up with Justin Rose on the 17th of his third round.

COMMENTATOR: Well, he is on the putting surface but he is some

distance from the pin. Justin Rose, leading the tournament

at 12-under par. Cabrera bellow has the 8-iron -- Cabrera Bello. The

wind is into the face of the golfers on the 17th tee and they will be

also on the 18th. Drilling it in, the flatter trajectory from the

Spaniard. That's in the sand. Back to 16. Fraser.

Ooh. Stop pretty quickly. Wanted another skip on there. -- stopped.

The reaction of Henrik Stenson, frustrated that there wasn't a bit

less action on the ball. Needed to get up a bit. Now, Rose. Inside the

Green, still a birdie chance on 17. The leader by one, from Stenson.

This is to go two clear. He's given it a chance, Justin Rose.

Yesterday Marcus Fraser had a similar shop here, pitched it to the

top of the mount on the ball rolled all the way back. It was an error

and he bogeyed in round two map. A little short with that one as well,

not his best. Far from his best, it will roll away again. This is a bit

of a nightmare hole for Marcus Fraser, pretty elementary chip shot.

Stenson with a birdie at 16. He didn't enjoy the trip, I saw his

frustration. For him it was not his best by some distance. -- chip. He

now has this for birdie. Once again draw level with Justin Rose at 12

under. If he does it will be a three shot gap between them and Fraser.

And then six and is tied for fourth. -- six under. Justin Rose has this

for par Stenson deliberates his breed at 16. Leader by one. -- is

read. Justin Rose stays on 12-under. One left to play. He stays at

12-under par. Stenson, this putt for birdie on 16. To draw level with

Britain's Justin Rose. Henrik Stenson, Sweden, for birdie on 16.

That is a chance missed her Stenson -- for Stenson, so par on 16. More

than the putt it was the chip he let himself down with. He needed to get

the ball closer. Hitting a big draw into the 18th

fairway. It will be just fine. Skirting a little to the left. It

looked like it was on a good line. Maybe a little too much draw.

Fraser makes his par. Remainers 9-under.

And also a slight draw down the 18th.

Gregory Bourdy has continued to slip back. He now finds himself on

6-under, tied for fourth with Bubba Watson amongst others David

Lingmerth, Emiliano Grillo, all players currently on 6-under.

But the leaderboard looking, it has really changed its complexion. Top

11 golfers down to 5-under par, seven shots between 11th place and

Justin Rose on 12-under. Stenson, having missed out on his

birdie on 16. Now I'm 17. -- now on 17.

They made the mistake yesterday and he was furious with himself when he

was short here on this shortest of the par threes on this golf course

and he came up short and landed it in the sand. The pain was just over

the front bunker. -- the pin. The wind has picked up, it is quite

strong into their faces. Stenson trailing by one.

It is directly, directly five, three yards left. The degree of difficulty

of this entire course is almost exclusively dependent on the pin

placings on their screens, it has been well thought out by the

designer. He set it up to be a Championship course. It has been an

intriguing test for the golfers. Some of whom have dominated on

certain days. Stenson with the penultimate on day three.

That is OK. It isn't bad. It was on the right line.

You get them everywhere in the crowd. They shouted that Bubba

Watson and it did go in the hole. CROWD: Go Justin! Not the worst mess

by Justin Rose. Off the sand. Decent life. Just picked it up nicely,

needed to get it down the fairway because no one with a headline --

Edwin Poots realistically get it on in two. Couple might get it close.

-- headwind. You wonder if Stenson might try. Justin Rose has gone the

fair leading by one. He had two eagles today, Justin Rose. Henrik

Stenson has only just started breaking his run together. Bubba

Watson made a great charge and Rickie Fowler with the biggest move

of the day. Cabrera Bello just dropping down the leaderboard.

Thomas Pieters started at 9-under and is currently under. 6-over par.

A hole in one at 84 this African. , Jack van Zyl. Roope Kakko how good

solid spell of birdies. A little disappointing for incredibly

talented Korean youngster, the youngest player. Justin Rose found

the sand with his tee shot at 18, par-5 finishing hole, the wind has

changed direction completely, it is an elevated green with a couple of

hollows in front of it, just the one bunker on the back right. That has

collected a number of polls that have gone off the back, and the pin

on the back right. The hollows have been collecting areas. How many

behind it? Seven. Do you know what? I will with this. It is a 68... I'm

not even worried about it. It first. -- hit it first.

Third shot to 18, Justin Rose, tournament leader. Dear, that is an

miss, a big miss from Justin Rose. Not even pitch the green or the

slope. Short of the green, hit the slope and kicked to the right.

Please put the phones away. Set -- Stenson and 17. -- at 17. Lining up

his birdie. It has got enough. Just not enough.

Not convinced it had the right line, but certainly not firm enough from

Henrik Stenson. Trucking down with a little punt and

flies it onto the front, but it won't hold. It spins back off the

front. Rose landing short and Bourdy failing to get it to hold. On the

18th. Back at 17, Fraser for par. Up ahead on 18, Cabrera Bello, 94

yards, 86 metres to the pin. High from the Spaniard. Justin Rose

coming up short with his third year than last. -- here at last.

Introduced by the tournament announcer, gets a big cheer, his

playing partners as well. Gregory Bourdy and Rafa Cabrera Bello.

Cabrera Bello safely on the 18th green. Rose and Bourdy looking to

get up but on the 18th tee is Stenson. Sorry, we've got to pull

away from the golf and I will ignore how Justin Rose finishes Ofcom he's

leading on 12-under par with one more round to come. Chris Hoey and I

are here at the velodrome because we have exciting quarterfinals and

semifinals tonight at the men's sprint at the two fastest

qualifiers, both British, Jason Kenny and Calum Skinner.

Jason has looked an imperious form. Callan must be Jason's biggest

threat. No worries in the semifinal. The Chinese riders, completing

against Callum, I think he's happy to make it to the last eight. It is

the knockout stage, the best of three. If they make a mistake they

will have a second chance but if they lose in the best of free ride,

they are out of the competition and they will be competing in the 5-8

final. Quarterfinals and semifinals tonight and the semifinal tomorrow.

That's unusual, normally you have the eight finals and the

quarterfinals on one day. Quite a lot of racing today. They are used

to that. It means that tomorrow will be quite unusual to come straight

into the final without any racing before that. Jason Kenny is the most

amazing athlete when it comes to the big event. He's just able to treat

it like anything else and not let the pressure get to him, not do

anything different. Callum Skinner. Callum equally, his first Olympics

at 23, he was called to the team relatively late and he has dealt

with the pressure incredibly well. The man who is taking on Jason

Kenney, Patrick Constable of Australia. We have the women's team

pursuit finals, Great Britain in the world record race and also the

keirin final. Medals won't be decided here today, but Callum

Skinner and Jason Kenney must keep on winning. COMMENTATOR: The first

quarterfinal is a minute or two away. Looking at Jason Kenney, who,

of course, has a Gold Medal in his back pocket already from the team

sprint on the first night of competition. He has looked very

sharp in the qualifying, setting an Olympic record and also in the first

round. In the first round he won very convincingly. Constable, he was

good, he gave Callum Skinner a run for his money and he had to come

back through the repechage. Tactically, going extremely well. I

think he's got his work cut out now. That's for sure. Both riders came

into cycling through talent ID programmes in their respective

countries. Jason Kenney, from Bolton. Getting a good cheer from

the crowd. -- Kenny. Constable is far less experienced, just 20 years

old, from South Australia, a former serving life saver. Spotted by the

Australian talent ID programme, doing very well in the tests and

look at him now, the former world junior champion competing in the

match sprint. Jason Kenny here. It is a three lap race. Interesting to

see how Constable chooses to take it on. I think he would have to make it

a tactical race. Jason has the bigger engine, I think he's proven

that quite conclusively to this point in the competition so I

imagine he'd want to get his nose in front. Jason, perhaps not so keen

for that to happen. So I think we can look forward to a lively race.

The best of three between these two. When you get to the last eight, all

of the sprint races are best of three. Because they qualified the

way they did, we hope the British riders don't meet each other until

later on. I won't put the curse on it yet by making any kind of

prediction. I did that yesterday with the team pursuit, saying that

Ed Clancy was the best starter in the world and he wobbled out of the

box. Don't talk about the women's team pursuit until they've got out

on the track. Jason Kenny is out front. You need eyes on the back of

your head, that is a rider's dies of you looking back to Patrick

Constable, the young Australian. -- eyes. Jason Kenny is going to take

the sprint from the front and Constable is going to do it, he can

get good height on the track, he's going very high but not getting

anywhere near Jason Kenny, who has a lot of daylight, taking the first

ride in the quarterfinal. Constable went to the top of the track. Jason

Kenny was just riding off onto the distance. Jason was sucking him in,

bringing him close and that's exactly what he wanted, leaving him

no room to manoeuvre and he dictated the pace throughout. Constable just

pulled him up onto the wheel. There was nothing he could do. Jason chose

the moment he was going to accelerate. He got the Kite on the

track but that cost him distance and it was too late. I would have

expected a slightly better tactical performance from him. Certainly

delighted for Jason Kenny. So far, so good, for Jason Kenny, leading

1-0. Just one win away from a place in the last four which will be in

this session as well. Next onto the track, Callum Skinner. He really

was, cometh the hour, cometh the man in the sprint final. Getting in

through the repechage. He was up against Constable and the time did

beautifully, waiting and waiting until the last banking before he

launched his effort. Coming by a tenth of a second. Up against Xu

Chao from China, the 21-year-old. Three silver medals in the Asian

Championships earlier this year, beaten by a Korean in the final in

the sprint. Callum Skinner, like Jason Kenny, has looked extremely

sharp so far in this sprint competition. Three laps of the track

in this best of 3/4-final. Callum Skinner did well in the match sprint

in the World Championships, the fifth fastest qualifier in London

and making it to the last eight where he was beaten by Denis

Dmitriev, no disgrace in losing to the Russian who has been a medallist

in each event over the last four years. Perhaps an overused term but

if there is a dark horse, Denis Dmitriev is looking very strong in

the second round ride. He is a wily competitor. Callum Skinner already

having a dream Games here. It's all about seeing how far you can go. You

wouldn't put it past him to get to the finals. Xu Chao, then, the

Chinese rider, leading from the front. Skinner, high up on the track

as they take the bell. And now the gap starts to close and look how

quickly it closes. Callum Skinner is able to draw level as they go around

the bank and into the final straight. He should ease through to

win and he does so in fine style. That was a superb ride by Callum

Skinner. He is all confidence and speed. Both British riders are yet

to lose a match. Really strong performances. It must be

demoralising for the competition. He already had him on the back

straight, just cruising around the outside. He'll know the too that he

has the pace coming around. When he is already moving forward in the

banking, despite going three metres further, there's no way he was going

to lose. Just under 200 metres to go, you could see what was going to

happen. Excellent from Callum Skinner and Jason Kenny so far.

Confirmation, the best of 3/4-final, heat two, Callum Skinner leading Xu

Chao of China. STUDIO: Two morph heats to come. To bring you up to

date on Justin Rose, his par putt on 18 -- two more. Just going in the

side. That means he stays on 12-under, he is leading. Henrik

Stenson, still out on the course, his closest competitor. The final

round is tomorrow. What about the tennis? This is Del Potro, serving

to level it up against Rafael Nadal. Which he does, 1-1, so they go to

the third set decider. That's an BBC Four, the winner faces Andy Murray.

Not such good news for Chris and Gabby Adcock, playing against their

Polish opponents, who won it and the Adcocks are out of the Olympics. So,

back to the men's spreads heat. We have Australia against Germany.

COMMENTATOR: Eilers from Germany, a double world champion in the kilo

and the keirin. And Matthew Glaetzer from Germany, silver-medallist in

the World Championship in this event. Glaetzer is very much the man

to keep an eye on. Going very quickly considering he was coming

from the bottom. Eilers is a wily competitor and he timed his run to

win his heat. It all came right for Eilers in the one kilometre in

London, taking the Gold Medal after a bronze and two silvers in the

three years preceding it. Finally a world champion. He added the keirin

title to it as well. Doesn't want to hang about, the German taking up the

track. Forced to increase the speed to keep control of this one. He is

being carried by Eilers here. Much quicker pace about this one.

Glaetzer riding from the front. Eilers with that big gear of his, a

very powerful rider. Perhaps doesn't quite have the jump of the

Australian rider as Glaetzer leads them out and then goes to the bottom

of the track, making sure that the door was left open. Eilers almost up

to the back wheel but he can't get any closer and Matthew Glaetzer now

keeps the distance and makes sure that he stays in front. For him, a

comfortable 1-0 lead. Great ride by the Australian, controlling it all

the way. He's a fiery competitor, great bike handler and he kept the

race down the bottom of the track, keeping the speed high, never giving

him a chance to get ahead. He gave us a bit of a fright in Colombia in

the World Championships, he crashed halfway down the finishing straight

and his bike flipped up into the air and nearly landed in the commentary

position! Maybe we'll hear more about it later. We saw more about it

in the women's keirin earlier today. Some spectacular crashes. And some

spectacular riding to avoid it, and some great riding by one of the

Dutch women. Denis Dmitriev, of whom we were speaking a couple of moments

ago, the experienced rider, in a repeat of the Championship finalist

at -- final last year. Bauge is a four time world champion in this

particular discipline, most recently last year. Nine world titles but

he's still looking for an elusive first Olympic Gold Medal, stuck on

three silvers and a bronze, which he got in the first evening of

competition here, France finishing in third place behind Britain. Both

two have gone round the block a view times. Bauge has had some successes

in recent years, he hasn't found the form just recently -- a few times.

Going well, here. Bitterly disappointed to miss out on gold in

the team sprint competition. You can see the straps they are using,

getting a bit more aerodynamic. They are clipped in using standard cleats

on the pedals. They are putting down so much power, 2000 watts, these

guys, they need extra security. Denis Dmitriev, two silvers and two

bronze medals from the World Championships. Winning a medal in

each of the last four years. And Gregory Bauge was the rider beaten

by Jason Kenny in London in the Olympic final four years ago.

This is the fourth and final quarterfinal. First race in the best

of three. Very tactical ride from Bauge in the previous round. Cat and

mouse stuff and I expect to see more of it here. I think Dmitriev looked

very powerful in his eighth ride. So this one should be close.

You can walk alongside them at this point, halfway down the backstreet

on the first lap. Dmitriev will want to drive. He has the big action --

the big engine. Bauge had a bit of a tussle with the Netherlands

candidate in the last race, both diving down the inside one after the

other. Bauge taking it. A real heavyweight clash between France and

Russia. Dmitriev happy to just take his time at the back. Coal is coming

to a standstill. You have the element of surprise riding at the

back, but you've also got come around outside, which is what Bauge

is trying to make sure happens, he wants to pin him there so he doesn't

get a height advantage but is forced to come around outside so he has to

follow him off when he loses the height advantage but there is an

opportunity to go on the inside, so Dmitriev is looking for an

opportunity when Bauge isn't paying attention to dive down and he is

trying to trap him in and he fell for it. He has done well, Dmitriev.

Bauge has been caught out by the Russian and the sprinters on, 200

metres to go down the back straight. Bauge comes back level, pretty sharp

into the banking neck and neck, we'd expect nothing less between these

two elbow to elbow for most of the way but then Dmitriev just had the

little extra gear which enabled him to cross the line in first. As they

came into the finishing straight it was a fine battle between the pair.

Dmitriev leads by 1-0 in the best-of-3/4-final.

Fantastic start to the men's sprint, I'm joined by some very special

guests and before we speak to Bradley Wiggins and the men's team

pursuit, let's closely see how they won a nail-biting gold medal in the

men's team Bush last night. I believe in the group, you find

yourself surrounded by some of the best, most underrated athletes in

the world. Without those guys would not be able to try and win Olympic

gold. You just think, how can we lose? Man for man I cannot see

anyone else that can beat my team. Ed Clancy is my number one. There is

nothing else for it, but a sharp, strong start. New Zealand, as

expected, fighting hard. Great Britain at this moment on course for

the final. We can see on their faces they are working hard for this. Four

laps to go, Wiggins on the front for Great Britain, so far so good.

Wiggins just did another mammoth turnout has bailed out. We're about

to find out as they come towards the line, Britain cross the line and

they've broken the world record! Sensational cycling here in Rio.

Brilliant stuff. The Olympic final, men's team pursuit.

The race for old underway, Australia against Great Britain. Australia,

the world champions. It is good, strong cart on behalf of Australia.

And Australia are trying to put the Brits under pressure. Great Britain

will work to do here. The halfway mark, it is nearly seven tenths of

one second and then Australia in the box seat. Great Britain are coming

back, the roar goes up inside the velodrome, six laps to glory and

Australia are down to three already, Wiggins has handed over to Ed

Clancy, down to three they are in the lead. It will go right down to

the wire, it is coming down to the last lap. Great Britain or

Australia? It will be Great Britain in a world record time. The last 12

months we've done everything together. It was incredible. All for

this. It was unbelievable. We've done it. Absolutely amazing. When

you're with guys like that on the line, it makes your job much easier.

And the only thing missing just now is Bradley Wiggins's gold medal.

I've lost it. It's in a bag somewhere. Your team last night not

get caught up in the motion it all. Now you've had time to reflect from

the performance of the EULA is a team and your cheap and over fifth

gold, and eighth medal, what you think? I don't know, doesn't feel

any different yesterday was that it still hasn't sunk in. You watch that

now and we were speaking last night, driving out into the town here how

different it could have been the more we spoke about little things

that happened in the race, like I touched on's wheel at one point and

Ed was unaware of that and you think, had it gone, it could have

gone, it less than a second at the end. To come out on that side, we've

been on the other side of the world this year and it is still difficult

to sink in and believe that we did is. Did you know when you crossed

the line that you had one? I had no idea at all. I just, we got through

our first turns as planned, everything went as planned we were

ahead of schedule but I could sense it from the crowd, we were getting,

there's lots of Britain here and we could tell in the semifinal in

qualifying when things were going well, info file I had the feeling we

were down and a lot of these boys look across the track to check where

we are against opposition, but I keep my head down and pedal and it

got so scrappy, three of us doing half lap turns and it is only when I

looked at the scoreboard, about two laps after I crossed the line and

realise we had one. I was more intent on catching my breath and

celebrate. For you, our first ever Olympics, you did not intend for it

to be that tense, how much does now having the gold medal round your

neck and BBA watching it back knowing you've won, how much does it

mean? It was surreal, I cannot even remember finishing the race I was in

so much pain. I did the change and I remember seeing two and panicking

and thinking, God, I cannot let them down. It wasn't until because the

line that I realised we had one. It is like a team project you want to

be so in control and dialled and that was the complete opposite

yesterday. It was scrappy and for it to be the final and for the win is

pretty big. Was there any moment of panic when you saw a gap opening

with two laps to go and back wheel disappearing? Did you think this

could be eight or did you know you could close the gap? I knew I had a

little bit left but I hadn't heard one from three so I thought we were

still enough for and I was intending on bailing goes I thought I would

drop down and I had a quick check and I saw it and thought, now or

never. I cannot remember it. I just pulled out and luckily it's paid

off. We saw shots of everyone left at the velodrome, last man out was

probably Brad. What did you do after that last night? Are we allowed to

know? The celebrations went long into the night. It was a fantastic

night, I was really proud of the lads. It was brilliant, an epic

final. It was ragged at times, especially towards the end. Playing

catch up but then we managed. To bring it together for the closing

laps and it all came together well. But it was a brutal final. And the

weird thing is, now, you will all go your different ways, you will retire

in November? Yes. All winners going to Team Sky, Stephen is going on

holiday next week. And Ed will probably have a year away from track

cycling on the road just because I think he has been fool on since

probably the world into thousand seven. I think, the last time we'll

probably ride as a quartet and it will be a different line-up in

Tokyo. Probably was another two guys, Qian and Mahdi maybe, have

switched. They've got to try and win number four because they won it

three consecutive now. We have won it. Will you miss him? There is too

much of a delay. I will really miss him, he has been great. Brad has a

strong legs and helped with the TB should but he has done more than

that and since Brad has been part of this team, the last 18 months he's

really held it and it has need of a personality like him to inspire not

just us but the coaches and staff and management get behind the team

pursuit again. Cheers, mate. I'm glad you said it because he once

said himself, he is the reluctant hero, thank you for coming out, I

hope you find a gold medal again or that will be going for an awful lot

on eBay. They will stay and cheer on Becky James and the women's team

pursuit who are going for gold to night. Beckett up next and this is

how it works in the Keirin. It is the top events to explain to a

non-cyclist and in truth it is much easier to understand for those

involved in the sport. Contested of eight laps it is effectively a

NASCAR Sprint for up to seven riders. The conventions draw lots

for their start order to the first 4.5 laps are led by a small

motorbike, Dhoni that steadily paces the group up to a maximum of 50

kilometre narrow or 45 kilometre is an hour for women. Riders must stay

together and are not allowed to pass it until it pulls off the track at

which point of the sprint begins. Hitting the front early years you

control of the pace but 3.5 laps is very energy expensive. The least

taxing position is at the back but few can get around multiple riders

in the closing stages. Second is probably the most favoured

compromise, but here is a constant danger of being boxed in. If a rider

does find themselves trapped there is always the riskiest of all

manoeuvres, passing on the inside. A big betting sport in Japan, the

Keirin used to be on an aggressive high-speed affair with crash is

commonplace but recently the event has been somewhat sanitised, the

speed has been regulated, bringing into question the need for PACE

motorbike at all and no rider to ride a contact is allowed. We might

be mystified by the format but it is still not a event for the

faint-hearted and with so many bodies on the track the last few

seconds of us Keirin can be spectacular.

It is thrilling to watch this race and it can be dangerous, there was a

big crash this morning, two heats coming up, effectively semifinals.

The top three and it will go to the final. Here is Simon. Away we go

with eight laps of the track, the first thing to note, the durney

bikes and what they used to be. I don't know why he needs front and

back suspension going around the track but there you go. The backpack

is not his lunch, it is a very nice camera. Let's run through the

line-up, the rider on the wheel of the durney bike. Is Anastasio who

won the medal in the team sprint, she is on the front. The rider in

the bright orange helmet behind her is Ellis lately from the

Netherlands. -- Elis Ligtlee. We were looking at the Columbia rider

Martha Bayona Pineda,. Hyejin Lee From careers in this field and so is

Tianshi Zhong from China. Let's see if they can repeat the performance.

She did get the jump at the right time and so many different agendas

out there. It is difficult to know what will happen. Vogel just had a

shot, and very a spurious rider. The speed of the bike is regulated quite

strictly? Each lap of the race. Yes, as we saw an explanation, 45, two

hour for the women is the maximum. They will reach that shortly. It is

terminal velocity and then swinging down on the back straight and over

to the women. When they come around there will be

two laps to complete. Vogel coming around the outside, she's decided it

was time to go. No one took it on, which is interesting. Vogel is in

control of the race. Still not Full Tilt, she'll accelerate into this.

In a great position. Oh, there's a crash, it is Kristina Vogel riding

away at the front and the Colombian has gone down, Bayona is on the

ground. Vogel, the world champ and, crossing the line ahead of Ligtlee

and Voinova, and zonked and she -- zonked Yancey of China -- Zhong in

third. I mentioned in the preview that it has...

There was a nasty spill. Kristina Vogel, the clear winner. Not quite

enough room to race. She was the victim of a tussle going on in front

of her, I'm afraid. The Chinese rider just coming down there that

caused the problem. Pushing up, Voinova, and just overlapping the

wheels. Voinova, and Ligtlee and Bayona are the three who don't go

through. I said that the keirin dangerous was -- riding stainless

but I wasn't expecting that. If you cause a crash, can you be

disqualified? You can be relegated. -- riding was dangerous. It was the

Chinese girl pushing down on the Russian who lost control and then

came back up and hit the Chinese rider which caused a ripple effect

which unfortunately for the Colombian, who was doing nothing

wrong. The Colombian was in the wrong place at that time

unfortunately. I reckon the Chinese rider may get a warning for that,

Inc wrote in on the Russian. And your feet are strapped to the

pedals, so you can't click free. Exactly, not very nice. And you can

often jolt your hips, you can hurt yourself. Kristina Vogel showing why

you want to be at the front in this kind of race, for a number of

reasons, not least because of the chaos behind you. The second race is

going to figure Becky James and Anna Meares, and this Dutch rider, who

had this crash this morning which is awful to watch because she was

pushed to the top bank. Similar problem to the previous race. The

Dutch girl is encroaching on the French rider, who lost balance.

Going all the way to the top. That is a vertical wall, you can't quite

see, the Dutch rider is going up a vertical wall, it is like some kind

of stunned, she actually held on and stayed upright, which is amazing.

Some of the pictures on Twitter are off at the top of the fence, with

the bike horizontal. She will be in the line-up. What are you expecting

from Becky James? She has to try and take control, get to the front but

not as early as the last ride. She took it on, two and a half laps out,

which is bold, but difficult. You can stay out of trouble if you are

at the front. Here we are in the qualifying round. In front, the

shortest route, you can dictate the pace. They started bunching up

behind her and she kept enough gas in the tank to hold on to the

finish. 24 years old, Becky, the world champion sprinter in keirin in

2013 but she has had a run of injuries, coming back in the

Championships in March, taking bronze. Would you say that she comes

here at the peak of her form? Is she back to her best? Definitely, we

don't know her absolute speed but seeing her training times: 10.8,

exceptionally quick. She knows she has good form. The confidence of

arriving fully prepared as opposed to the World Championships where she

wasn't ready and she still won a bronze medal, which boosted her

confidence. She knows he has the legs and the head for it, we may see

something special if she gets her tactics right. You were a double

Olympic champion from raging and London, was the keirin something to

be enjoyed or feared as a rider -- Beijing. Nothing like being in the

final. In the sprint you have a Silver Medal, at worst, it is

predictable, but the keirin is so unpredictable, it is fast. You can

see the marks that van Riessen made this morning. She has amazing bike

riding skills, to get to the vertical part and back down without

crashing, incredible. It is a crowd favourite, the riders love doing it.

Before I did it as an event, I loved watching it. Traditionally the last

event of the programme and all of the riders used to watch it in the

stands and place bets on who was going to win. Anna Meares, who

carried the flag for the Australians in the opening ceremonies, the big

name in opposition to Becky James, broke her neck in a keirin race in

2008. The Australians had their camp at the same track in LA, she has had

to prepare on that track. We will see what happens in the second of

these races. COMMENTATOR: The riders are just coming up onto the track.

Becky James riding extremely well in the early session. She must finish

in the first three to make it to the final. She took control, as we've

seen, in the replays. Such a small and aerodynamic package, when she

crouches low, she can be on the front and take control. Riding

perfectly and she'll be looking to repeat that performance. From the

Ukraine, Shulika, their national champion. The great Anna Meares,

three times a champion, including last year in Paris. The white

Lee Wai Sze, from China and then Becky James, bronze in the World

Championships. Krupeckaite, in the autumn of her career. This is a

field of the highest quality in this half of the draw. There is a lot of

race craft that has to be learnt and also the ability to react so fast.

You have your own idea of how you are going to run the race but

everybody has their own agenda and you must adapt. Eight laps of the

track starting now. Lee Wai Sze from Hong Kong getting straight onto the

back wheel of the derny bike. National hero back at home, winning

Hong Kong's first ever Olympic cycling medal four years ago. And a

world champion as well the couple of years ago in the 500 metres time

trial. This is Krupeckaite, Chris was talking about tactical ability

in a race like this and Krupeckaite in a race like this and Krupeckaite

certainly has plenty of that, she's been racing at the top level for a

long time. Just to reiterate, they can't pass the derny, they can't

even overlap the back wheel and if they do, the rider will be relegated

and the race will be restarted until it pulls off the track. Not only

that, they must stay with it as well. Staying with the Pace

motorbike is defined by ten metres. As you get towards the modem and

where it pulls off, large gaps form and that is the riders giving

themselves room to accelerate. They anticipate the bike pulling off and

they give themselves some room to work. Just to note, as we see Lee

Wai Sze from Hong Kong right behind, the rider at the back in the orange,

van Riessen from the Netherlands was the rider who has shown she can ride

up a vertical wall today, avoiding that crash. She hasn't been a track

rider for very long, only the last year or so, she was eight speed

skater from the Vancouver Games in 2010. You would never know, she kept

riding, she had about two centimetres before she would have

gone over the fence, it was a remarkable piece of bike craft and

that's going to be one of the pictures of the Games going forward.

Exciting stuff. Two about half laps to go, the bike will disappear and

the race will be on. The tension will be riding among the six riders.

That's why you can see the gaps starting to appear, half a lap

before it moves out of the way and the racing will start. Becky James

is in fourth place. A little bit far back, she would like to move up but

careful not to be boxed in. Fright at the back, Becky James from

Great Britain in the dark outfit, going around the outside. She

decides she isn't going to hang around, she wants to grab this by

the scruff of the neck. Lee Wai Sze of Hong Kong has gone down on the

inside. Becky James leading the way, Anna Meares looks comfortable in

second. In fourth place, Krupeckaite, battling for a place in

the final. Still Becky James leading them to pause the line. Becky James,

Anna Meares and Shulika of the Ukraine. Becky James made an

excellent move in getting towards the front of the race when she did

and avoiding any of the problems, as Lee Wai Sze crashed on the inside of

the track and is still down on the ground. It has been given to Anna

Meares but Becky James eased on the line, Sheila Cross to see.

Beautifully timed committee accelerated over the top just as the

crash happened. It was perfectly timed. See accelerated in the bend

so that she would already be coming at them when she got to the straight

and that is when you can move forward. It was a subtle but very

important time to start that acceleration, real confidence. Great

ride in the semifinal from Becky James. She is in the shake-up for

the medals. Anna Meares from Australia is hoping for one last

Olympic Farah as well in what would be, for her, a third Olympic title

having won a Gold Medal in 2004 and four years ago in London -- hurrah.

Lee Wai Sze from Hong Kong, thankfully OK although clearly less

than amused by the outcome. All part of it. STUDIO: Safely through to the

final, Becky James, coming up later tonight. It is going to be 9:27pm,

the team pursuit will be 853, your time. Don't miss them. You are

saying it was the perfect race until you saw package aims sitting up on

the line. -- you saw Becky James. She only had to be in the top three,

she could give up a bit but you never look round on the finishing

line and Anna Meares just rolled her. It doesn't make any difference,

there is no seeding, nothing wrong with that but for all she knew,

there could have been a couple of riders on the outside and she could

have been overtaken and could have been out of the final. Very minor

complaint. Fantastic ride. She lined it up perfectly with two laps to go,

starting her effort, coming over the outside. She could have hesitated

when Anna Meares reacted with a lap of a half to go and she could have

been stuck on the long Way round which would have been disastrous but

she committed, taking the race to the front. She line it up, makes

space for herself, she starts going here. Accelerating, catching them by

surprise, Anna Meares Caesar but Becky has the commitment -- sees

her. It is a shame that Lee Wai Sze was knocked down, she had a good

chance. Becky is in control. Anna Meares creating a bit of a gap for

safety so she can run onto the wheel of Becky and get into the

slipstream. That was as close to perfection for Becky as you can

expect. Apart from looking round at the finishing line! That would be

your feedback, do the same but don't look around. I don't think she will

do it in the final, when there is a medal at stake you just look at the

ground and you throw the bike. Tremendous race to watch. Started in

Japan I think for betting purposes initially and it became a big deal.

Jason Kenny is the defending Olympic champion in the men's sprint and if

he wins this second of the best of three races he will be through to

the semifinals later tonight, against Patrick Constable 2-1 the

first part of this pretty easily. Simon and Chris, will you expect him

to do it in two? Hard to know what Constable can do,

he is a canny rider, showing some good track craft but I don't think

he has the measure of Kenny and I was surprised he was suckered in by

him in the previous ride. Kenny kept control from start to finish,

looking so confident, more so than I have seen before. Here we go, the

second race, potentially of three. Jason Kenny of Heath -- if he wins

this one he go through to the semifinal. The defending champion,

semifinal, the Olympic sprint title, one of four Gold Medal C has won in

his career. Kenny certainly looked very impressive in that first right.

-- medals he has won. Patrick Constable, who was part of

Australia's team pursuit squad here. Finishing in fourth place. Former

world junior champion. Nice shot with the reflection in the glasses.

I think Constable's only chance here is to try and control this one, try

and stop Jason Kenny from dictating how the race runs out. He has the

engine. Constable must stop him from using it. Kenny has got the

predatory as well, he was in the Olympic final in Beijing in 2008.

Losing to Chris Hoy. Slowly stalking the Australian, his

body language and face, picture of concentration, a study in

concentration. We saw this earlier, the riders going up the track, they

are tempting the opposition to come underneath so they can come down and

shut the door and forced them to store and then start accelerating.

Did not work earlier, he did not close the door fast enough and

Dimitri of took the initiative. A quick look to this matchup between

the pair, Constable clearly starting to wind it up a little. Kenny is

being drawn in, that is the difference, left himself plenty of

room to work and get the height to accelerate with one lap to go, going

into loss to understand the back straight, look at the blistering

speed of Jason Kenny as he races past the Australian, passed his

shoulder and into the finishing straight, majestic sprinting. Jason

Kenny, the world champion and at the moment looks unbeatable, he

certainly did in that ride against Constable but he will face tougher

competition. That was frightening, he sat up with a quarter of a lap to

go, he knew his sheer momentum was going to carry him over the line

first and barely opened his mouth, look at the expression on his face,

there is a moment of acceleration, gets himself into control and coming

around here, have already decided started ease off, thinking about

what I will have for dinner. 2-0, Jason Kenny again having got the

better half of the draw or got himself a very good draw by being

the fastest qualifier has also avoided any ripper charges and

avoided a third right here. The dividends, that fast qualification.

And the next heat will feature the other British rider, Calum Skinner,

23-year-old from Scotland. Skinner won the first ride against Sujad

from China and again, heat two, won the first race convincingly. This

Skinner wins this one he would also be there to the last four.

Remarkable how quick it happens. He is riding the crest of the wave, man

of the match in the team's print and sprinting better than he ever has in

his life. All five fifths in the World Championship was not able to

deliver. He is here. He had to bow out in the last eight but has the

opportunity to go better here and make it into the semifinals and

Calum Skinner, first came to prominence domestically with a clean

sweep at international titles back in 2014 in the autumn. It is written

in the Commonwealth Games twice in 2010 and 14. But this is on another

scale altogether in Rio. One of the big changes with the British team is

the German sprint coach came across and still just out of his own career

and world champion himself, used to go on the track, not sure if he

still does go through scenarios, role-playing with the riders, some

superb technical coaching, tactical coaching and it has made a big

difference to the team. Keeping control, you can see, although he is

seated, he is raising the pace and the form he has got, he can stay

seated and accelerate so hard. He has some distance. He has a lot of

what to do, the Chinese rider and I'm not sure he will come close to

challenging Skinner. Skinner with plenty of daylight and the rider

from China pushing hard, trying to get back on terms but Calum Skinner

just riding away through, in straight rides into the semifinals,

both Jason Kenny and Calum Skinner through. That was Yann Demange and

you sort shaking the hands of the Chinese coach. Unfortunately has not

shaved his moustache like the rest of the team prior to the competition

but he must be pleased with how his charges are doing, look at the

power, so in control in that race. He saw an opportunity and went

early, but you got to give yourself some room to manoeuvre. You can only

way to much, I will not let you get a look in. Van -- the coach will be

pleased with what he's seen so far. Great Britain are guaranteed to get

something from the men's sprint, whatever happens. The next ride will

be on the track in a moment or two and it will be much place are from

Australia against the occupiers from Germany. Glaetzer was the winner of

the first race and if he wins he will join the Brits in the final.

We'll bring you up-to-date on the month, reflecting on Calum Skinner

and Jason Kenny, they won their quarterfinals in different but both

convincing. Two into the last four sort we are guaranteed a medal of

some colour in tomorrow's race but that was perfect from both. He just

ran out his opponent with plenty of speed. Like he had an extra gear, he

cruised around outside untroubled and Billy Brooke Sweat. Calendar and

when from the front, opened a gap and poured it on, it was perfection.

If they keep winning and winner semifinals later then they will meet

tomorrow night in the gold medal race, which would be tremendously

exciting full Andy Murray is already through to a gold medal match to

defend his men's singles title but the big question is who will he

meet? Myanmar teamed Del Pontal Viking tea and Rafa Nadal of Spain

locked into a third set decider. These are the scenes live at the

main court and we will join it because double trouble is serving

for the match and a place in the cold medal final. -- Del Potro.

One game away from the Olympic final.

A great start for Nadal. An enormous serve from Del Potro, somehow he got

it back. He did claw his way into the rally. The quickest serve of the

day. 214 kilometres per hour. He has been slightly less secure on

the forehand in the third set. You could put your mortgage on it making

that one. He dealt with the net really well

and then a lovely volley. Not just in Spain, he's not two the

most popular man in Brazil right now. -- he is the most. Three break

back points. Electric speed. The adrenaline

pumping so hard in Del Potro with the powder and Nadal with the speed.

How quick was he on to that? Great anticipation, it still needed some

quite frightening speed to get to it. He has broken back.

Good old Nadal, he is never beaten them what a celebration when he gave

himself 0-40, has broken back against Del Gotrel 5-5, that

continues live on BBC Four, who will bring you the best on BBC One, in

Badminton we heard earlier Gary and Chris Adcock have gone out of the

Mixed Doubles but there is good news for Britain does not appear in the

Men's Doubles. Chris Langridge and Martin Southers won today to reach

the quarterfinals, great result for them, ranked 22 in the world, and

they are through to the quarterfinals. Fabulous. Chris has

had his vision sprint through watching the track and tennis, you

like Rafa coming back. Yes. Don't give it away. We saw Jason Kenny and

Calum Skinner win their second races earlier, so they are through. They

don't need a decider but let's look at the third of the quarterfinals.

Mathieu Glaetzer gives jockey milers. --

quarterfinal between Glaetzer Joachim Eilers and. Has Del Potro --

Joachim Eilers got the legs to do it? Later has been fiery -- Mathieu

Glaetzer has been Bayrou. Look at the height he had left himself. I

think Joachim Eilers has made a mistake. Mathieu Glaetzer got an

enormous speed boost but he was stalled again, and Mathieu Glaetzer

with work to do down the back straight, looks more than willing to

do that and draw level with Joachim Eilers and Joachim Eilers will be

beaten for pace and for speed on the line. Perfectly timed in the end

from Mathieu Glaetzer. They certainly did not hang about and

Mathieu Glaetzer is through industry rights as well. Mathieu Glaetzer of

Australia will now meet Calum Skinner. I think he's not impressed

massively year, a time trial was excellent but he's not raised with

the same conviction be seen in previous championships. That was a

10-4 and he was working hard to get around either at 10.4 pace, not

exceptionally quick the last 200, Jason and Calum are doing 10.1,

10.2, I fancy Calum. He has got a really good chance if he can get his

head straight and focus on him and not be all right by the occasion but

he has shown no signs of that so far. He's been perfect. I would put

money on Calum. Arguably Jason Kenny has the more difficult job because

he will meet Dennis Dimitris or Gregory Bourget and the first race

of their three was won by Dimitri of -- Dmitriev. Here's the second.

Bauge with a last opportunity to say that McStay and accommodation.

Having a disappointing game so far, I wonder how his morale is. Probably

not great. Some discord in the French team, did not get the teams

went medal that they were hoping for. In this competition, they are

not faring much better. Difficult times for them.

Halfway down the back straight. The crowd will just feel they move as

the riders go past, they are so close to them. Interesting that

Dmitriev is going for the standstill or look like he was about to come I

thought it would be Bauge trying to keep its tactical. The are allowed

to come. But only for a maximum of 30 seconds and if it gets to 30

seconds, then judge walking the side of the track will indicate the lead

rider to move off and if they don't they are relegated. They must have

that will because potentially they could stand there for ten minutes.

I've seen that many years ago. It was amusing for a while but after

the first hour... Please everyone drumming their fingers and waiting

for the race to continue. Hotting up now.

Dmitriev of Russia on the fund, a repeat of the World Championship

final year ago. Bauge has got to pull this out of the bag. Shoulder

to shoulder, it is a real battle between two heavyweights of

sprinting. Dmitriev I think has too much in the locker add Bauge doesn't

have the speed -- and. There was a bit of bumping and barging. Dmitriev

came outside the sprinter's line after the Sprint had launched. The

judges may have something to say about that, we'll have to see. In

the end, the protest wasn't made, was it? I don't think so, the result

stands. When Bauge made his move, catching Dmitriev unawares and he

was accelerating hard, he had the momentum. You can't really see,

Dmitriev sticks his elbow into Bauge and comes out of the red, which you

can't do, killing the run that Bauge had when he was passing him. It was

the French team I would putting in a protest. I don't think it's going to

change the standings. London 2012, Vicky Pendleton came out of the lane

by a head spread and she was relegated. -- by a hair's bread.

You're telling me he's broken the rules but hasn't been relegated. It

is down to the interpretation by the judges. They decide whether the move

in and he did the progress of the other rider. To me, that clearly

happened. We will have to look at the other angle but it may be that

Bauge encroached on Dmitriev, pushing him down the track. Who

knows? As far as we are in a where, the result stands. Callum Skinner

against Matthew Glaetzer. Semifinals later and also coming up, the

women's team pursuit Gold Medal race but there is a lot of racing to

happen before that. So we are going to take you to the tennis where Del

Potro has already served once for the right to get into the goal medal

match. Rafa broke back to be 5-5 and now he is serving to establish again

his lead in the final set. They will play a tie-break. It is not a long

third set. Let's see if Rafa can hold serve. He was dancing with

delight when he gave himself the chance to break back. He has won the

Gold Medal in the doubles, the singles champion from Beijing. Del

Potro knocked out Djokovic. One of the great hits of this game is so

far has been trampolining. Huge surprise yesterday when Bryony Page

got herself into the final, not only into the final but her routine was

good enough to earn her the Silver Medal. You must have incredible

aerial awareness here, they get ten bounces, you must pull of the most

difficult moves you can within those ten routines. The rebound on the

trampoline can be vicious if you get your timing wrong. You must land on

the square if possible, on the cross and not outside the square. Bryony

Page, that was good enough to give her the Silver Medal. There's no

doubt that her success inspired many people at home to be trying out

these moves. This is Kayleigh Thompson. This is nine-year-old

Shannon. Very good! This is Keira, who is six years old. And Anna on

Twitter has sent in Ruby and Stanley Walsh from Cheshire, loving the

trampolining and the British medal, inspiring the new generation. This

is Britain's Nathan Bailey who has come back from horrendous injury,

broke both arms, shattering his elbow. He finished in ninth place,

he didn't quite make the final. But look at the moves like this. I told

you about his injuries as well, so there is a downside, but when you

get it right, it's sensational to watch. It may well have inspired you

to take up trampolining and if so, follow this. Get Inspired is BBC

to you. I just realise I gave you more than

one child when you only have one so far! Old enough to trampoline? Not

quite but I reckon I can get him bouncing up and down on one. The

chances are that he may be an Olympian and he might be here in

years to come. Let's bring you up-to-date on the headlines so far.

Great Britain ending the Olympic rowing regatta in style with the

men's eight, leading from start to finish to win gold, their first

since the Sydney Olympics in 2000. And there was a first ever Olympic

medal for the GB women's eight, finishing behind the USA who won

gold at the 3rd Games in a row, but a terrific effort from the British

women to hold off the opposition for silver. Andy Murray has booked his

place in tomorrow's Men's Singles final after he beat Kei Nishikori

and he will play either Del Potro or Nadal who are locked in a third set

decider. Great Britain's Justin Rose leading the Gulf after round three,

he is on 12-under par, leading by one shot from the Open champion

Henrik Stenson. Rose shot 65 today, three eagles and two birdies. Final

round tomorrow. And we are in for a thrilling conclusion to the

heptathlon, Belgium's Nafi Thiam has edged Jess Ennis-Hill to the top of

the standings after the long jump. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is in

third with two event slated to go, the javelin and the 800 metres --

two events to go. So, in terms of events here at the velodrome, this

is the timetable. The women of Great Britain broke the world record to

get into the final race. Becky James in the final of the keirin. It may

be earlier than 9:30pm. If Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner

wind there is, they'll be in the gold-medal race tomorrow. I would be

advising you to drink coffee and stay up late. When I meet somebody

many people tell me where they were on Super Saturday. People want to

remember and be a part of that night. That gold-medal changed

everything. That is to come, later tonight and

we've got some sensational racing to come at the velodrome but we are

going back to the tennis to see if Nadal or Del Potro can win this

match. We are into the deciding third set tie-break and already Del

Potro has a mini-break so the Argentinian is just edging ahead of

Nadal, but you know what Rafa is like, he will be bouncing around

trying to get back into it. Simon Reed is our commentator.

COMMENTATOR: Kickstarter Del Potro -- kick-start for Del Potro.

Mr Del Potro is challenging the call on the right-hand side, the ball was

called out. He has got four challenges remaining, so he might as

well use of them. It is still out. It was in the slot. A surprise to

most that Rafa missed it. Three successive points, for Del Potro.

It seems he has recovered well from dropping serve when he was serving

for the match. Super forehand into the corner from

the Nadal. -- from the wow, I'm not sure he meant it to be

quite as good a shot as that. But what a bonus it was. Incredible

angle. Still, it is Del Potro with the mini-break.

That match continues on BBC Four. Here, the bronze medal race is under

way in the women's team pursuit, and Canada are in control. COMMENTATOR:

Canada can sense they are going to win bronze for the second Olympic

Games in a row in the women's team pursuit. They can see their

opponents as they come into the straight, disappearing to the

opposite bend. It is added incentive, a lap and a half to go

for Canada. Heading for the bronze medal, and the final is coming up in

a few moments. Driving up the front, just and laser with Beveridge and

Simmerling -- Glaesser. They will take the bronze medal with room to

spare. New Zealand crossing the line. Canada dominant and winners of

bronze. They can be pleased, they qualified in fourth place so they've

moved forward from there, which is always good. They used their

different abilities well. We saw Lay bailing out because she didn't want

to slow the team down, so great team work. It is not just the ability of

an individual. Tense moments, isn't it, on the start line. It's all

ahead of you but they dealt with the pressure well. And as we look at the

highlights of the bronze medal race, we will make preparations for the

final itself. It will be up shortly, Great Britain against the United

States and what a race it promises to be. So close, the two teams,

earlier today. STUDIO: And now for gold, it is

Great Britain against the USA. Great Britain set a world record in

qualifying, the Americans set one this morning and then Great Britain

set a new world record. Teams of four now, it was three in London, it

was three kilometres in London and it is four now. We have two who have

been in this position and two who haven't, Archibald and Barker. Laura

Trott could become the first British woman to win three Olympic gold

medals. This is history in the making. Chris, what would you

anticipate will happen? As close as the men's race yesterday? I think it

will be closer, it could be fractions of a second. One tenth of

a second between them when they won the world record. 4.11, may be

quicker, it may be one bike length in between them. The Americans have

the horsepower, the Brits have the technique. It is too close to call

but you've got to back the Brits here. Fantastic if Laura can win a

third Gold Medal. Another night of history potentially. Tell me about

the four of them and what they contribute in their technique and

power and mental approach. Katie Archibald first of all.

Katie is new to the team, world record holder and European champion,

she's done everything coming her way so far. She started racing in

Scotland as part of my old club, city of Edinburgh. She has joined

the team without any problems at all. Quite all right, Laura Trott

next to the smallest, she has the most experience, amazing technique

and power. Elinor Barker, again, new to the team but has fitted in well

and has had to work very hard to battle into the team. Joel Rose

Ocean, already an Olympic champion, the art better drilled team are more

efficient but the Americans have huge worst horror, particularly from

Sarah Hammer. She is their staff. Yes, she is an individual world

champion on many occasions. Silver medallist at the Olympics behind

Laura Trott and she will be a big challenge for Lauren Nia Ali this

time but this is purely about team pursuit and the Americans started

quickly in the second ride, they opened up a gap of about one second

over the British time, so we could see the Americans attacking hard at

the beginning and putting the Brits under pressure. This will take about

four minutes and 12 seconds, a gold-medal is at stake. Great

Britain against the USA, Chris Boardman and Simon Brotherton. USA

line-up, Sarah Hammer, is time world champion Kelly Kaplan, Chloe Dygert

and Jennifer Valente a, these four riders won the World Championship

demand on. Katy Archibald for Great Britain, Elinor Barker, Laura Trott

going for what would be a historic third gold medal today. And Joanna

Rowsell Shand who will be the leader of rider. She is currently in the

starters gate. Very experienced, Russell Shand and Trott won this

title four years ago. To retain it made me to be the world champions

there was nothing between them when they raced earlier today,

back-to-back world records. A tent of a second did it come I don't

think we will see Joe Rosol Shan got all the way, she bailed in the last

ride and give it all up, we see Archibald storming on the back. The

world champions, the USA against Great Britain, four-time world

champions, what an Olympic final we have on our hands. Just like last

night, this one could go to the wire. It could be a white knuckle

ride. One tenth of a second in the previous ride between them,

different strategies were employed, serve ayes Sarah Hammer did single

lapse exchanges to two that could be a problem for the British riders

Archibald did an enormous 2.5 lap turn in the previous ride we inspect

the British team to be behind at this point, they were nearly one

second down the first kilometre when they beat them before the muscle the

fact there was a small deficit just now is no great worry to them. Laura

Trott on the front for Great Britain, she peels off and Elinor

Barker takes over, let's look at the Gap, 750 metres and the driving
