Day 8 BBC One: 23.55-04.00

:00:56. > :01:00.Could this be the greatest night in British athletes' history. The

:01:01. > :01:12.stadium erupted! has been four years since a synphony

:01:13. > :01:26.of sound resonated around the Olympic Stadium. They called it

:01:27. > :01:30.Super Saturday. Three athletes... COMMENTATOR: Rudderford leads at the

:01:31. > :01:37.moment. ..And 45 minutes later, three golds. It is a perfect day for

:01:38. > :01:46.Jessica Ennis. He is the Olympic champion. It is gold! Oh, yes! That

:01:47. > :01:51.night, in our minds, they became super humans. Three gold medals for

:01:52. > :01:57.Great Britain, what a night! But three are just like you and me. Day

:01:58. > :02:11.in, day out, working hard at their jobs. Training like they mean it.

:02:12. > :02:14.And now, four years on, this every day graft, this routine, might just

:02:15. > :02:23.result in the most magical of repeats.

:02:24. > :02:30.The unmistakable Michael Johnson setting the scene for what could be

:02:31. > :02:34.an historic night at these, the Games, of the 31st Olympiad in Rio

:02:35. > :02:38.de Janeiro, Brazil. That is the Olympic Stadium where so much drama

:02:39. > :02:46.will be played out tonight. We are in for a real treat. Hello. A very

:02:47. > :02:49.good evening to you. Welcome back to the Copacabana. This could be if

:02:50. > :03:00.biggest night of the greatest show on earth so far. Four years on after

:03:01. > :03:07.London 2012, our athletes go for gold in just another Super Saturday.

:03:08. > :03:11.Jessica Ennis-Hill proved last night she is the Queen of multi-athletics

:03:12. > :03:15.winning the title 13 months after giving birth to a baby boy. She has

:03:16. > :03:22.shown when the competition is on, she is ruthless, striking fear into

:03:23. > :03:27.the rivals. She enters final two events in the help together long

:03:28. > :03:31.just five points behind the leader. If she wins tonight, Jess becomes

:03:32. > :03:36.the first British female track and field athlete to retain an limb tick

:03:37. > :03:46.title but Katrina Johnson-Thompson is also in the mix and lies third.

:03:47. > :03:51.As for Greg Rutherford, he qualified in 10th place for tonight's long

:03:52. > :03:54.jump final, but Greg, too, is a big game player. He's won every title

:03:55. > :04:01.going. He, like Jess, raises his game. He's got a brilliant smile. He

:04:02. > :04:11.delivers when it matters. His rivals also fear him. He is the most

:04:12. > :04:18.determined competitor. And, as for Mo Farah - unbeatable since 2012.

:04:19. > :04:21.He's run everything. He's won everything, the aura of

:04:22. > :04:27.invincibility, the aura of a world-class athlete. His rivals have

:04:28. > :04:33.not found a way to beat him. No matter how hard they have tried, mo

:04:34. > :04:37.has simply run away from them. He is simply one of the best athletes that

:04:38. > :04:40.Great Britain has ever produced. He striefrs to retain his title and

:04:41. > :04:49.become once more, the Olympic champion. So this is how we are

:04:50. > :04:53.lining up for you tonight. These are the times you needs a Super Saturday

:04:54. > :04:56.approaches. Katrina Johnson-Thompson goes into the javelin.

:04:57. > :05:09.Significantly, she's in an earlier group than Jess. Jess on paper has a

:05:10. > :05:16.stronger throw than Kat. 12: 50 Greg Rutherford begins his chase for the

:05:17. > :05:21.title. It will be close. At 1:25 Mo Farah could win a third gold of his

:05:22. > :05:25.Olympic career as he races as the favourite in a 10,000 metre final.

:05:26. > :05:29.You need to be awake for the final event of the heptathlon. The 800m

:05:30. > :05:35.could be a golden double for Jess. It could be a win also for KJT. It

:05:36. > :05:39.will be tense. It will be quite a night. It will be another great

:05:40. > :05:41.chapter in British sporting history. We could be talking about this for

:05:42. > :05:58.years to come. This is what the Olympic Games are

:05:59. > :06:02.all about. We dream about nights like this. Sit back, relax and enjoy

:06:03. > :06:04.it with us. Not just track and field, of course. It is also a very

:06:05. > :06:19.big night in the swimming. So, just after 2am the 50m freestyle

:06:20. > :06:25.final. Blink and you will miss it. Then the men's 1,500 metre freestyle

:06:26. > :06:31.on the red button. The women's 4x100 metre medley relay and the last race

:06:32. > :06:39.in the pool the men's 4 x 1600 metre medley relay. Golden boy Adam Peaty

:06:40. > :06:44.- good see him back in the poochlt if you want to watch uninterrupted

:06:45. > :06:51.swimming, push the red button. What a night. So that is your viewing for

:06:52. > :07:00.this evening. Before we go to the track and field, let's bring you a

:07:01. > :07:05.reminder of tonight's headlines. Great Britain's men's eight claimed

:07:06. > :07:13.their first gold in Sydney 2000 after a dominant performance. For

:07:14. > :07:19.the women's eight, silver medal, Great Britain's first ever. They

:07:20. > :07:24.ended the Rio regatta with five medals, three silvers and two golds.

:07:25. > :07:28.Meanwhile, at the Velodrome Laura Trott became the first British

:07:29. > :07:36.female Olympian to win three Olympic gold medals when she and her

:07:37. > :07:40.team-mates took a dominant victory over the US. Becky James claimed

:07:41. > :07:45.silver. Reigning champion Andy Murray secured his spot in the men's

:07:46. > :07:50.single final with a dominant victory over Japan's Kei Nishikori. Juan

:07:51. > :07:55.Martin del Potro is the man who will stand in Andy Murray's way. The

:07:56. > :07:58.Argentinian 2009 US Open champion beating Rafael Nadal in today's

:07:59. > :08:06.other semifinal. What a day we've had here in Rio. Britain's World

:08:07. > :08:10.Championship bronze medallist Joe Joyce has a fine art degree. His

:08:11. > :08:20.super heavyweight campaign finished in style. He is en route to a

:08:21. > :08:25.dominant Round 16 victory. And Great Britain's Justin Rose will head into

:08:26. > :08:32.the fourth and final round of the golf tomorrow with a one-shot lead

:08:33. > :08:37.from Stenson. He enjoyed a hole-in-one in the first round as he

:08:38. > :08:42.carded two eagles and three holes to end the Day 12-under par. So you are

:08:43. > :08:45.completely up-to-date with the Olympic Games here in Rio de

:08:46. > :08:52.Janeiro. It is time for track and field and Super Saturday mark 2.

:08:53. > :08:59.When I meet people for the first time a lot of people tell me where

:09:00. > :09:03.they were on Super Saturday. People want to be a part of that night.

:09:04. > :09:07.That moment crossing the line, it just happened - my family and the

:09:08. > :09:11.crowd. The atmosphere was incredible. It is something I have

:09:12. > :09:16.never experienced and never will again in my entire life. Just know

:09:17. > :09:27.in all of the events together it had all gone right. An amazing feeling.

:09:28. > :09:39.That gold medal! Did that really happen? It did and we still talk

:09:40. > :09:44.about it four years on. People still ask, where were you? How did you see

:09:45. > :09:48.it? How did you foal? What did you think? We may be in for more of

:09:49. > :09:55.those feelings this evening. Stay with us for the next few hours

:09:56. > :10:00.because it promises to be an electric athletes' meet. We have so

:10:01. > :10:05.much to look forward to. I just wonder how nights like this affect

:10:06. > :10:10.you guys? Does it help you tap into your own golden and wonderful

:10:11. > :10:15.Olympic moments, Michael? Any time the Olympics come around you start

:10:16. > :10:20.to think about those days and for me this is the 20th anniversary of the

:10:21. > :10:24.1996 Olympics so there have been a lot of revisiting those days over

:10:25. > :10:28.the last few months. Then you get here and you sort of look out and

:10:29. > :10:32.see what these athletes are going through and, yeah, it does take you

:10:33. > :10:35.back to those days and those tense moments, but then, of course, all

:10:36. > :10:41.the celebration as well. Yeah, the hard work. The late nights, the

:10:42. > :10:44.early mornings, the pain that you have to endure to get here.

:10:45. > :10:50.LAUGHS . We used to miss that? I think we

:10:51. > :10:53.have a saying, Paula, once an Olympian, always an Olympian, and

:10:54. > :10:58.that is really the feeling that you get when you are back in the arena.

:10:59. > :11:01.No matter where you are in the world, just that you are connected.

:11:02. > :11:08.That emotion. First time Olympians, what they go through. The agony, the

:11:09. > :11:12.excitement. The more experienced athletes that could this be their

:11:13. > :11:19.last one? It is just so much emotion. We are just privileged to

:11:20. > :11:23.be - I am just enjoying it. The race you will be most across this

:11:24. > :11:27.evening, Paula. Mo Farah will make history. Yes. We say that quite a

:11:28. > :11:33.lot and then someone comes along the next week and makes their own

:11:34. > :11:38.history. This is something that will take a long, long time to eclipse.

:11:39. > :11:44.This is huge. Just because of what he has achieved so far we think it

:11:45. > :11:50.is a given Mo will come out and no-one will beat him. He will stroll

:11:51. > :11:58.around the 5k and 10 k and it will be easy. It won't. Mo doesn't have

:11:59. > :12:01.to run heats, but it is still a huge, huge thing to just hold that

:12:02. > :12:06.position for that long. Let's bring you up to speed with the heptathlon.

:12:07. > :12:13.Of course, after Day 1 it was a fantastic day and we had the one and

:12:14. > :12:17.two with Jess and KJT and thyme thyme of Belgium was putting up a

:12:18. > :12:19.fantastic fight with PBs op her own. Here is what has got us to where we

:12:20. > :12:29.are right now. Katrina Johnson-Thompson had a

:12:30. > :12:36.lifetime best first day yesterday. She's in fourth place. First event,

:12:37. > :12:40.the long jump. Oh, that is a decent jump for Katrina Johnson-Thompson.

:12:41. > :12:49.The white flag is raised. 6.51 in Round 1. Not great. She is capable

:12:50. > :12:54.of better. This is a decent jump into a strong wind. Good stuff for

:12:55. > :13:01.Jessica Ennis-Hill, the reigning Olympic champion. It is massive!

:13:02. > :13:08.Look at. That that must be over the board. Indeed it is. Round 2. It is

:13:09. > :13:10.a valid jump. 6.48, decent jump for the Canadian. Katrina

:13:11. > :13:16.Johnson-Thompson in the second round. Oh, that is a big effort but

:13:17. > :13:21.it is a foul unfortunately. Johnson-Thompson last round. Well,

:13:22. > :13:27.it isn't quite what we would have wanted. Jessica Ennis-Hill, third

:13:28. > :13:33.jump in the long jump. She needs a big jump here but the feet came down

:13:34. > :13:37.early. Here is Tony's Minichiello's reaction. Not happy. He knew that

:13:38. > :13:42.was a chance to put daylight between her and the rest of the world.

:13:43. > :13:49.Nafissatou Thiam. That is better. Oh, she likes it. It is 6.58 and

:13:50. > :13:55.that will give Jessica Ennis-Hill something to think about. That

:13:56. > :13:59.really changed things, didn't it, Denise, because thyme thyme's jump

:14:00. > :14:05.at the end of the long jump session has put the cat amongst the pigeons.

:14:06. > :14:09.There we can see the story so far and the personal best for their

:14:10. > :14:17.events tonight, Denise. The javelin speaks volumes there, doesn't it?

:14:18. > :14:20.Thyme thyme has got a lifetime best of 52.62 metres, far in excess of

:14:21. > :14:26.anything that Jess or Kat has done. That will swing the pendulum in her

:14:27. > :14:36.favour. Remind ourselves she is only 5 points ahead of Jess at the

:14:37. > :14:40.moment. 800m this week, you would expect Jessica Ennis-Hill and

:14:41. > :14:46.Caterina to do damage. Let's have a look. What would happen - obviously

:14:47. > :14:49.a lot of thes, buts and makes - if they all performed to their PBs. The

:14:50. > :14:53.points total would be thus. That means they have to be giving it

:14:54. > :14:56.their max. Of course that is possible but for thyme thyme she's

:14:57. > :15:01.been pushing the PBs while she's been here. She's been throwing and

:15:02. > :15:06.jumping around the field. She's eclipsed the British field. Kat

:15:07. > :15:11.hasn't. She's been below par where we expected her to score points.

:15:12. > :15:15.Things can change, though. Things can swing throughout the evening.

:15:16. > :15:17.Let's hand over to Steve now who is out there across the javelin

:15:18. > :15:18.competition and of course Katrina Johnson-Thompson going in the first

:15:19. > :15:30.group. Yeah, first up in this first pool,

:15:31. > :15:37.Katrina Johnson-Thompson. The leaders will go in the second pool,

:15:38. > :15:41.the better javelin throwers. Pretty much all the main contenders other

:15:42. > :15:45.than Katrina Johnson-Thompson is in the second pool. It is a chance for

:15:46. > :15:49.Kat to get her mark on the board and get a distance out this and give the

:15:50. > :15:52.leaders something to think about. She is a 40-metre-plus javelin

:15:53. > :15:57.thrower at her best. Something like this would be good. That looked

:15:58. > :16:03.deliberate. It stalled badly and it is below 40 metres. The point went

:16:04. > :16:08.away from her head and showed all of the javelin to the oncoming air. It

:16:09. > :16:11.didn't fly. Look at. This the point went up in the air almost vertical.

:16:12. > :16:15.It doesn't go forward when it is like that. That is fixable is the

:16:16. > :16:22.good news. The bad news is it is identical to all of her warm-up

:16:23. > :16:24.throws. So Katrina Johnson-Thompson 36 metres and 36cm. She will need

:16:25. > :16:26.more to get 36 metres and 36cm. She will need

:16:27. > :16:37.more to get on the rostrum, I suspect. There is Mike Holmes. He

:16:38. > :16:42.keeps saying to glue it. Get it going forward. That is it, Mike.

:16:43. > :16:52.Johnson-Thompsonon can fix that. She's got two more goes to do it. So

:16:53. > :16:58.Mike Holmes, his words, he's said his piece. Kat returns and she will

:16:59. > :17:03.have, what, between 5-8 minutes. She will rattle around quite quickly. A

:17:04. > :17:09.small group of throws and she will need more. An Olympic medal is the

:17:10. > :17:17.prize if she gets it rights. -- right. So things started for the ja

:17:18. > :17:22.Lynn. I wouldn't say they started particularly well for her. She knew

:17:23. > :17:27.she could throw further than that. You were wincing, Denise. Tell us

:17:28. > :17:29.why? It is not good enough at the moment. We heard Steve talk about

:17:30. > :17:32.the technical points. She needs to moment. We heard Steve talk about

:17:33. > :17:38.the technical points. She needs to three through the jv Lynn. She is

:17:39. > :17:41.not utilising any momentum she's creationed on the runway. The

:17:42. > :17:45.javelin is hitting the air and stalling. She is bouncing a down.

:17:46. > :17:50.She needs to be attacking that javelin to get any sort of drive, to

:17:51. > :17:56.get it out over that 40-metre line. She can do this. It is not like this

:17:57. > :17:59.is a difficult event for her. But all of the emotion, the technical

:18:00. > :18:04.elements are just not quite right. But I am hoping that she'll go back

:18:05. > :18:09.and sit down and really visualise what she has to do. The javelin is

:18:10. > :18:13.an event that Jess has worked really, really hard at. She's

:18:14. > :18:19.actually improved and given herself a chance of putting on some points

:18:20. > :18:24.for the javelin. She just put a stocking on that she didn't have on

:18:25. > :18:27.this morning. Is that to help? It is probably with bad technique. It

:18:28. > :18:30.happens with the girl. They are not particularly strong upper body and

:18:31. > :18:36.they get themselves into that position, the separation, between

:18:37. > :18:40.the upper body and the jv Lynn. What Kat needs to do, for me, is move

:18:41. > :18:46.herself back to allow her the swa space at the end of the runway. She

:18:47. > :18:49.needs about a metre-and-a-half and she can drive through the javelin.

:18:50. > :18:53.She is coming to the end and stopping. That is something that

:18:54. > :18:57.Mick Hill has been working on with Jess to increase her run-up. Yes. It

:18:58. > :19:00.is a confidence thing. Known likes to throw from that far back. You

:19:01. > :19:04.watch the women's javelin when they come through in the next couple of

:19:05. > :19:07.days, they are throwing about 2 metres away because they are

:19:08. > :19:13.driving, trying to chase the javelin out. Jess is working with Mick Hill

:19:14. > :19:17.and he texted earlier and said she can three 47 tonight. He expects her

:19:18. > :19:21.to do that, the kind of shape she is in. You have to work hard at the

:19:22. > :19:25.throws. There is no sort of getting around it. There will come a point

:19:26. > :19:29.in your heptathlon career where your throws will save you and give you

:19:30. > :19:34.medals. I know it sounds silly and you say what about the other events?

:19:35. > :19:37.But the work you can do for javelin and shot, particularly, they don't

:19:38. > :19:43.hurt the other events, if that makes sense. Jess is invested in it. They

:19:44. > :19:46.don't counter what you are doing to work on your speed or hinder what

:19:47. > :19:52.you are doing to work on your endurance. So there is no reason why

:19:53. > :19:58.you wouldn't do a bit of work on them. Exactly. That is what I am

:19:59. > :20:02.saying. She is saying, here, take 150 points, sometimes 200 points,

:20:03. > :20:06.and run with it. She is giving it away for free. I know her body

:20:07. > :20:11.language, Michael, is something you are quite a student of. Do you think

:20:12. > :20:15.she is locking nervous tonight, a little bit apprehensive? I don't

:20:16. > :20:19.think it is nervous. I think it is down. It is a lack of confidence and

:20:20. > :20:23.real drive that, hey, I know what to do, I have worked on this and gotten

:20:24. > :20:28.it right before, so that means I can. Now I have to impose my will on

:20:29. > :20:32.myself and this javelin to get the technique right. I was talking with

:20:33. > :20:37.Steve about this earlier and I think he was talking about the same thing

:20:38. > :20:42.that Denise said. This doesn't take away from your training for other

:20:43. > :20:47.things, so why wouldn't you do it more often? I thought, that makes so

:20:48. > :20:51.much sense that I would imagine that she is doing it more often. She's

:20:52. > :20:54.working on it. What happens with many athletes is they get to the

:20:55. > :20:58.championships and once they are in a pressure situation they go back to,

:20:59. > :21:04."I am just going to throw it. I got to throw it harder." The safe place.

:21:05. > :21:08.Yes. They go back to what great athletes know and trust, their

:21:09. > :21:12.athleticism. In this case it is not your athleticism that gets the

:21:13. > :21:18.javelin out where you need it. It is the technique. You have to trust the

:21:19. > :21:22.technique. What she is doing now is not throwing the technique. She

:21:23. > :21:26.needs to do more in competitions and she doesn't do that. She is next up

:21:27. > :21:31.to throw shortly. Steve, if you are just there to lend us a bit of your

:21:32. > :21:34.expertise, you can tell from what we have been talking about, we have

:21:35. > :21:38.been bending your ear about this. Your thoughts on the first throw. I

:21:39. > :21:43.think the guys have said it all. I just want to see a bit of fight. The

:21:44. > :21:46.Katrina Johnson-Thompson we see in the high jump bouncing around

:21:47. > :21:51.looking optimistic. There is a downess and a questioning in her

:21:52. > :21:55.eyes. You can see she doubts herself before she even takes to the

:21:56. > :22:00.runwayment I want to see her run in and give it a lash. Throw the

:22:01. > :22:03.technical stuff away and give it an absolute all mighty lash. That is

:22:04. > :22:08.kind of what a javelin thrower can do. They can go to the safe police,

:22:09. > :22:12.as Michael was talking about, because they have one. Katrina

:22:13. > :22:12.Johnson-Thompson looking to improve on the 36

:22:13. > :22:19.Johnson-Thompson looking to improve on the 36 metres. The right elbow

:22:20. > :22:23.strapped. Another deliberate throw and a huge stall there. She knew

:22:24. > :22:27.that everything we all have been talking about so far. She knows it.

:22:28. > :22:35.She is struggling to do it. There is the frustration. She fouled it with

:22:36. > :22:40.her feet. That won't be measured. She's so frustrated right now

:22:41. > :22:44.because a bronze medal - she is in the bronze medal going into this

:22:45. > :22:49.penultimate event of the heptathlon, let's remember that. It is slipping

:22:50. > :22:53.from her grasp. She will need more than 36 metres she got on her first

:22:54. > :22:59.throw. That just stalled badly. That means that the point went straight

:23:00. > :23:02.up in the air and came straight back down again without going forwards

:23:03. > :23:08.and, Mike, that must be frustrating for him as well. They have worked so

:23:09. > :23:14.hard to get this right, but, as Michael was saying, under pressure

:23:15. > :23:19.is when the small cracks turn into crevices. I don't know where she

:23:20. > :23:26.goes in the third round to salvage this javelin competition. It puts so

:23:27. > :23:31.much pressure on her 800m. Maybe too much pressure. The technical point

:23:32. > :23:39.is - crikey, do they work? Questioning, doubting? Difficult

:23:40. > :23:44.situation for Katarina Johnson-Thompson. She doesn't have

:23:45. > :23:49.long. It is moving quickly. She has a conversation going ob there with

:23:50. > :23:54.Mike. She will go away presumably and have a think. You said lashing,

:23:55. > :24:02.but it did the opposite. It went up and down. What can she do? It is an

:24:03. > :24:05.instinctive thing for an instinctive, natural thrower. The

:24:06. > :24:11.challenging thing is if you are independent, if you are doing it

:24:12. > :24:15.deliberately, like Kat, it is not like Nafissatou Thiam, another

:24:16. > :24:21.contender for the title here. Her tleg - she is a natural thrower.

:24:22. > :24:25.When the chips are down you can draw on that instinctive throwing, those

:24:26. > :24:27.movement patterns that just come naturally. Nothing is coming

:24:28. > :24:30.naturally to Katrina Johnson-Thompson because it just

:24:31. > :24:38.doesn't to her. It is really tricky. This is awful for her. The second

:24:39. > :24:43.three was way worse than the first. Maybe she is protecting something

:24:44. > :24:47.that is adding even more complications to her going on inside

:24:48. > :24:51.with her elbow. I desperately feel for her. She will need more. We

:24:52. > :24:54.don't know how much more because the contenders for the bronze medal are

:24:55. > :25:00.likely to be in the second pool. They are in the second pool. Closer

:25:01. > :25:04.to 40 metres, we suspect, is needed. Nafissatou Thiam and Jessica

:25:05. > :25:08.Ennis-Hill in the second group that goes at about 1:15. One more three,

:25:09. > :25:12.Denise, to salvage something hopefully over 40 metres. She is

:25:13. > :25:17.capable of doing that. Anything to add to what Steve has suggested she

:25:18. > :25:20.can do in this time. You have been there and waiting for your third

:25:21. > :25:25.throw and wanting to put some distance on. What is going through

:25:26. > :25:29.your head? I was such a different sort of animal in the jav lip. It

:25:30. > :25:33.was my strength. I could trust my technique. What Steve is really

:25:34. > :25:41.saying, when you don't really feel an event, it is hard for you to

:25:42. > :25:45.really just try and lash it - to quote Steve - you capital. You are

:25:46. > :25:51.constantly thinking a technical point that might give you something.

:25:52. > :25:55.Give you hope and, for me, I think she tried to three harder in the

:25:56. > :25:58.second throw and you have got a bigger separation with the javelin.

:25:59. > :26:03.It went straight up in the air. She needs to go - she really does need

:26:04. > :26:08.to think about throwing almost parallel to the -- Let's have a

:26:09. > :26:12.little look at the second throw to see where she released it and where

:26:13. > :26:20.everything went wrong. For me, I would like to see her have a bit of

:26:21. > :26:24.a longer run up anyway. She literally just - she is just slowing

:26:25. > :26:28.down. That is the first thing, she is throwing down into the throw so

:26:29. > :26:34.she is not carrying don't momentum through this javelin. She is very

:26:35. > :26:39.close. You know, it is just - it is all in the arms. She's got to keep

:26:40. > :26:43.that point close to her head. You see her coach signalling to that.

:26:44. > :26:47.She's got to throw forward. She is feeling the championship slipping

:26:48. > :26:51.away from her right now. Her emotions seem to get the better of

:26:52. > :26:54.her. She wears her heart on her sleeve. You can see the emotion on

:26:55. > :26:59.her face. How do you control that? It is hard because she knows she is

:27:00. > :27:03.fighting to get on that podium now. She is in a real battle and

:27:04. > :27:07.everything she's been through, Commonwealth Games missing that. The

:27:08. > :27:11.disappointment of the World Championships last year, three fouls

:27:12. > :27:16.and she needs to be on that podium, I think, for just her morale going

:27:17. > :27:20.forward in the heptathlon. A long way from the high jump competition

:27:21. > :27:24.yesterday, Michael, isn't it? Yes. This is what makes it really tough

:27:25. > :27:28.for athletes and I am sure tough for Kat right now. She is also thinking

:27:29. > :27:33.about last year and all of those things so you start to go into a

:27:34. > :27:38.defensive mode where you are thinking, "How do I survive now?" As

:27:39. > :27:43.opposed to what you need at an Olympics. How do I go out and win? I

:27:44. > :27:46.need to go out and win. Now she is trying to protect and salvage

:27:47. > :27:52.something and salvage a reputation and keep from having to read the

:27:53. > :27:56.headlines that "Oh, she's done it again" and once that starts to cents

:27:57. > :28:02.in, that is a dangerous place to be. You don't want that to become your

:28:03. > :28:06.thing, do you, Paula? No. It looks like she is overthinking it. She

:28:07. > :28:11.knows what she really wants to do but she is overanalysing it. As

:28:12. > :28:15.Steve said, it is sow hard, when you have an instinct and natural ability

:28:16. > :28:18.to fall back on and block out everything that is happening, it is

:28:19. > :28:22.the Olympic Games and where it is, and just throw the thing. If this

:28:23. > :28:26.was high jump, this wouldn't be happening. She would know exactly

:28:27. > :28:31.what to do with her run-up and what to do with the bar. But she hasn't

:28:32. > :28:34.got the feeling so, yes, you are right, in a way. She's thinking,

:28:35. > :28:40.will my run-up make a difference? Will my arms make a difference? It

:28:41. > :28:44.is just too much. Let's bring Steve in, please. It is tough. I am

:28:45. > :28:51.feeling for her right now P Just a thought, Gaby. There is a bigger

:28:52. > :28:58.picture. Season best is only a metre further than she threw in the first

:28:59. > :29:01.round. I don't want to make out she is having an awful Games. It is what

:29:02. > :29:07.she's been doing all season. If she's going to be the champion in

:29:08. > :29:11.four years' time in Tokyo she needs to sort her shot put and javelin way

:29:12. > :29:14.before. Sorting it between now and the final throw is one thing, but

:29:15. > :29:19.the basic principles of throwing well and getting consistently into

:29:20. > :29:22.the 40 metres. She has thrown over 40 metres in the past, not this

:29:23. > :29:27.year. The point I am making, she is about where we would have expected

:29:28. > :29:31.her to be. We were hoping that she would have raised her game in this

:29:32. > :29:34.because of the importance of it. That isn't happening, but I just

:29:35. > :29:37.wanted to make that point - it is around what she has been doing all

:29:38. > :29:40.year. Which is a very good point, but the disappointment that is

:29:41. > :29:43.certainly on the face has come after that second throw because she

:29:44. > :29:47.obviously felt, OK, that first three was dent. It is near what I have

:29:48. > :29:53.been doing. I can go better than that. Then, all of the demons seem

:29:54. > :29:58.to erupt, don't they? She probably thinks she tried. She listened the

:29:59. > :30:02.Mike, she went and did that and it was worse. "Oh, my God, what

:30:03. > :30:07.happened? That didn't help at all." Just to give people a sense of what

:30:08. > :30:15.I think the problem is here, all that we have been talking about over

:30:16. > :30:19.the last few minutes ad nauseum and analysing and overanalysing - I just

:30:20. > :30:22.thought about when you said Paula she is overanalysing. Well, we are

:30:23. > :30:26.up here. We can do it in the safety of this space but when it happens

:30:27. > :30:29.down there on the field of play, that becomes a huge problem and I

:30:30. > :30:34.think that is what is happening with her. It is what has happened before

:30:35. > :30:37.and it appears that is the lesson unfortunately was not learnt and

:30:38. > :30:41.carried forward from last year. She has pretended to throw na bottle

:30:42. > :30:45.thereabout 15 times while we have been sitting here. She's going

:30:46. > :30:49.through her motions. She is going through the repeating of the muscle

:30:50. > :30:54.memory. Would she be better sitting down for a minute, Denise - she has

:30:55. > :30:57.done just then as I said that - and having a bit of quiet time.

:30:58. > :31:02.Sometimes. It does vary. We often see athletes sort of drilling. That

:31:03. > :31:06.is what she is trying to do. Drill. Think about where her hand needs to

:31:07. > :31:10.be, her arm position. I think maybe you are right and Paula made a good

:31:11. > :31:14.point. She probably needs to lie down, empty her mind and just get

:31:15. > :31:24.that javelin and throw it now. She's got nothing to lose at this point.

:31:25. > :31:31.She really doesn't. OK. We are reading out on the track. The first

:31:32. > :31:35.event on the track tonight is the men's 400 metre semifinals which

:31:36. > :31:40.Michael will be expertly viewing for us from up here. Down on the track

:31:41. > :31:43.it will be Andrew who will call first of those semifinals. Good

:31:44. > :31:48.evening, Andrew. Good evening. Good conditions again. It is dry and warm

:31:49. > :31:52.and not too much breeze around. Some of the times in the races have been

:31:53. > :31:57.down. Not a particularly quick track here in Rio. I think three athletes

:31:58. > :32:06.have established themselves as the men to beat in the 400 metres in

:32:07. > :32:13.recent years and two of them go here and this man Leshon Merit. This is

:32:14. > :32:42.the full line up. There is the bronze medallist from

:32:43. > :32:47.London. He looked good winning his first-round heat. Again, the calibre

:32:48. > :33:06.of athletes here and only two go through automatically. He's not

:33:07. > :33:08.quite had the same success since London. He watched Merritt take the

:33:09. > :33:32.world title. The Dutch record holder runs for the

:33:33. > :33:37.Netherlands. Not recognised by the IAC or IFF. He did a very fast heat

:33:38. > :33:41.in Beijing in the World Championships and a lot of people

:33:42. > :33:42.are wondering if they will see similar types of times, but it

:33:43. > :33:57.hasn't been like that here. He has been struggling relatively

:33:58. > :34:02.this season, almost a second-and-a-half away from his best

:34:03. > :34:15.times. Again, they look strong in his first-round heat. There is

:34:16. > :34:24.Merritt. The only man to have again below 40 seconds. He lost to James

:34:25. > :34:37.in to meeting at the end of May. Haven't raced each other too many

:34:38. > :34:49.times. Did a perm best in Madrid in June. Here is Kirani James i still

:34:50. > :35:03.only 23. Again, this season he does look good. Seven wins from seven

:35:04. > :35:12.after his first-round heat. A bronze in London in 2012 but also the

:35:13. > :35:23.Commonwealth Games in 2 014 Londe Gordon. Botswana has three very good

:35:24. > :35:35.400-metre men. This man only turned 18 a couple of months ago, already

:35:36. > :35:41.close to sub-45. The Jamaican champion, a great relay man. He's

:35:42. > :35:44.run some exceptional legs in the last few championships. He has great

:35:45. > :35:48.support, again, inside this stadium. So the first of three semifinals in

:35:49. > :35:53.the men's 400. The first two go through automatically and the next

:35:54. > :36:03.two fastest to the final. Britain is represented in the 30 by Matthew

:36:04. > :36:11.Hudson-Smith. Here is a Showdown between Merritt and Kirani James.

:36:12. > :36:17.There will be an element of up manship of getting the best lane for

:36:18. > :36:22.the final or simply making sure you go through. It is by no means

:36:23. > :36:27.guaranteed, even for two athletes like Merritt and James. They will

:36:28. > :36:43.certainly be the favourite to take the two automatic places.

:36:44. > :37:06.To the blocks for the first semifinal in the men's 400 metres.

:37:07. > :37:16.Away they go. Lashawn Merritt delayed for a moment in the blocks.

:37:17. > :37:20.Let's see how quickly he moves now. Kirani James in blue and green and

:37:21. > :37:30.red. He's started strongly, indeed. Move ing up alongside Lashawn

:37:31. > :37:44.Merritt. He is alongside Luguelin Santos. It is Kirani James. Merritt

:37:45. > :37:50.just pulling clear now. It is these two also trying to get there

:37:51. > :37:53.Botswana. It is Kirani James by three or four paces. That looked

:37:54. > :38:00.good and comfortable. He could have gone quicker. No doubt about that.

:38:01. > :38:06.Lashawn Merritt, a smile. He goes through automatically, but he was

:38:07. > :38:16.best there and the psychological advantage belongs to Kirani James.

:38:17. > :38:21.He looks very, very good. Merritt is through but an interesting race.

:38:22. > :38:27.Kirani James locked very strong. Andrew, he did but I am not sure if

:38:28. > :38:34.the psychological advantage went to Kirani here. He has the advantage.

:38:35. > :38:39.Lashawn knows he's just got to finish in the first two positions. I

:38:40. > :38:44.will relax and let Kirani do more work than I have to do. Lashawn

:38:45. > :38:52.Merritt is thinking, "I have to shut it down now. I don't have to do

:38:53. > :38:58.anymore." He doesn't want Lashawn Merritt to come back. He ran a very

:38:59. > :39:03.good race. We are all disappointed we had this situation with the two

:39:04. > :39:06.of the three favourites in the race here in the semifinal, but Lashawn

:39:07. > :39:11.Merritt on the outside. He's watching on the big screen I am sure

:39:12. > :39:14.and sees that Kirani James is on his inside and he's just relaxed here.

:39:15. > :39:17.He is running relaxed. You look at Lashawn Merritt, no tension in the

:39:18. > :39:23.shoulders and he is able to continue that, which you would expect. If

:39:24. > :39:27.this were a final and he comes off the kerb with Kirani James coming

:39:28. > :39:30.around the bend this way with a 2-3 metre lead here, he would tighten

:39:31. > :39:34.up. But he doesn't. He remains relaxed. Checking the big screen now

:39:35. > :39:39.to make sure his position is safe. He doesn't have the use as much

:39:40. > :39:48.energy. Focusing on Kirani James a little bit. Kirani James has cleaned

:39:49. > :39:52.up his technique in the last 100m. We have seen him rarely get up even

:39:53. > :40:00.when he won his medal. That is a worry for the rest of the field

:40:01. > :40:05.because he is a major threat. That was a massive perm best for the

:40:06. > :40:11.18-year-old in Botswana. They will have a fantastic relay team. That

:40:12. > :40:18.may see him through to the final. Kirani James and Lashawn Merritt

:40:19. > :40:26.through automatically. Katarina ononthird and final throw in the

:40:27. > :40:30.javelin. Only the 800m remaining. She's had 36 metres in the first

:40:31. > :40:33.round, a poor throw in the second round. We know you want this, Kat.

:40:34. > :40:49.You just got to believe. If you think you can, if you think you

:40:50. > :40:57.can't, you are absolutely right. It's fallen short. She knows it. No

:40:58. > :41:01.gain. You can see she tried to get over the top. It didn't happen. Look

:41:02. > :41:07.at it pointing straight up in the air. Stalls almost immediately and

:41:08. > :41:13.falls to the ground. Good on the floor. The hip strikes and the point

:41:14. > :41:17.just pops up in the air. Maybe linked to that elbow that is heavily

:41:18. > :41:32.strapped. No improvement for Katarina Johnson-Thompson. 36 is her

:41:33. > :41:35.best. A few moments ago Kirani James straight through to the final

:41:36. > :41:35.defending champion and he is talking to Phil.

:41:36. > :41:41.straight through to the final defending champion and he is talking

:41:42. > :41:47.to Phil. Kirani, that was putting down some sort of statement, wasn't

:41:48. > :41:52.it? No. It is always tough. Fortunately enough I had the inside

:41:53. > :41:57.lane on Lashawn. So I could see what he was doing. I am trying to get

:41:58. > :42:00.ready for the finals. It is a tough race. I will get some rest and relax

:42:01. > :42:04.a bit and get ready for tomorrow. This could be one of the finals of

:42:05. > :42:10.the whole Olympics. What is it like to be part of that dynamic trio? It

:42:11. > :42:13.is fantastic. When you have three athletes in the same event, having

:42:14. > :42:17.the kind of performance that we have, it is only good for the sport.

:42:18. > :42:21.That is all we look at. When you see people on the message commenting on

:42:22. > :42:25.who got better technique and stuff, that is what you want. We are

:42:26. > :42:28.generating more interest. I am glad we are doing our part. A tremendous

:42:29. > :42:36.performance tonight. Thank you for talking to us. All right. Thank you.

:42:37. > :42:41.So, two of the big names are through. Will they be joined by the

:42:42. > :42:48.others. The start list. If you look to the bottom. Andrew's point about

:42:49. > :42:57.the talented bots wantean relay team may have taken a knock. Just got

:42:58. > :43:02.sent men in this. The world champion will be in lane 3. He's got good

:43:03. > :43:27.athletes. Cedenio ran well in qualifying. Botswanian relay team

:43:28. > :43:35.Van Niekerk has seen merit. Kirani James just going a bit quicker.

:43:36. > :43:43.Maybe Lashawn Merritt holding back somewhat. The two of them running

:43:44. > :43:53.low 94s. Maslak looked slow to me. He is normally better in the rounds.

:43:54. > :44:13.Right on the inside DavidVerburgof the USA. A couple we haven't seen

:44:14. > :44:19.there. There was a man who was disqualified in the World Junior

:44:20. > :44:23.Championships held in July. Not long before these Olympic Games so Haroum

:44:24. > :44:41.took that title. A man from Qatar. 19 years of age. McDonald. First two

:44:42. > :44:49.will reach the final and then the two fastest losers.

:44:50. > :44:59.Houran ragged out of the blocks, all over the shop. He's got that

:45:00. > :45:05.exaggerated arm action. You contrast that with Cedenia in lane 5. At 400

:45:06. > :45:11.we expect him to domestic fit here, but he will be chasing down the

:45:12. > :45:16.youngsters there. The 20-year-old. Van Niekerk going well. Verburg

:45:17. > :45:21.starting to come in from the USA in lane 1. Van Niekerk the South

:45:22. > :45:26.African with second second -- Cedenio. Running better here. These

:45:27. > :45:31.two contesting this a little bit. Van Niekerk looks across at him and

:45:32. > :45:38.says, "You can have it." He had a little check to his left and right.

:45:39. > :45:42.He realised that Cedenio was more interested in winning the semi than

:45:43. > :45:48.Van Niekerk. 44.4. He is looking good. That was very, very close to

:45:49. > :45:53.the perm best I mentioned he set in Monaco. Very, very close indeed just

:45:54. > :45:57.a few seconds off. Van Niekerk always looks like he is extending

:45:58. > :46:01.himself a little bit more than the others tend to, Michael. Is that

:46:02. > :46:05.your observation. He had to work quit hard? He actually looked pretty

:46:06. > :46:12.relaxed to me, Steve. Look at him around this bend, he looked in

:46:13. > :46:16.control of the race. He was able to work off Cedenio who ran fast down

:46:17. > :46:22.the back street. He relaxed on the bend, which was odd but worked for

:46:23. > :46:26.him with the 44.40. It is just off his personal best set earlier this

:46:27. > :46:35.year. Cedenio is trying to put himself in a position for a medal as

:46:36. > :46:40.well, but I thought that he ran a good race. He has strapping on his

:46:41. > :46:43.leg but doesn't look like it is bothering him. He gets up to race

:46:44. > :46:47.pace quickly, which is what you want to do. He relaxes down the back

:46:48. > :46:51.stretch. What you notice is he runs the exact same pace for the entire

:46:52. > :46:54.race. When you can do that in a semifinal without having to shift

:46:55. > :46:58.gears, which takes a lot more effort, that bodes well for your

:46:59. > :47:02.chances of recovery for the final tomorrow. I see here just no

:47:03. > :47:11.struggle at all. Very relaxed. Look at the face. Very relaxed. No

:47:12. > :47:16.labouring in the breathing and just again decided, "I'll let Cedenio get

:47:17. > :47:21.this. Just need first or second." Looks to his left. It looks like an

:47:22. > :47:29.easy qualification. If you look at Merritt in the previous heat. Van

:47:30. > :47:32.Niekerk. James will need more recovery and regeneration between

:47:33. > :47:39.today and tomorrow than those two guys will. All you lock so relaxed

:47:40. > :47:43.out there. If you can possibly reach a final, look like you can conserve

:47:44. > :47:50.something, you have done that today. I am grateful. Another injury-free

:47:51. > :47:55.race. I am grateful. The body slowly and surely catching up. It feels

:47:56. > :48:01.positive and, yeah, I feel good. After all of the anticipation we

:48:02. > :48:08.have finally got yourself, Lashawn and Kirani for the final. It will be

:48:09. > :48:14.one of THE finals of the Games, we all know that. What did you expect?

:48:15. > :48:18.Nothing less. Quality guys. I will have the dig deep and put up the

:48:19. > :48:23.best performance I can to bet these guys. That is part of the game. How

:48:24. > :48:27.much does last year's performance winning the gold have a bearing on

:48:28. > :48:34.tomorrow? I would love to say it plays a big role. It means nothing.

:48:35. > :48:39.It is a new competition, new final, new challengers and I have to take

:48:40. > :48:47.it as a new day and put my best foot forward tomorrow. Good luck with it,

:48:48. > :48:57.thank you. Well, he came second there and obviously Cedeno winning.

:48:58. > :49:07.Maslak and Janezic not quick enough at the moment to go through. Next

:49:08. > :49:10.Matthew Hudson-Smith. Greg Rutherford getting himself ready for

:49:11. > :49:15.potentially making history, defending his Olympic title. He is

:49:16. > :49:19.the reigning Olympic champion of course from Super Saturday four

:49:20. > :49:24.years ago. He struggled a little bit in qualifying, it has to be said. He

:49:25. > :49:30.said in his post-qualifying interview, forget what he did

:49:31. > :49:38.yesterday. It is a new day. While he gets ready, we will get ready for

:49:39. > :49:49.the third of the semifinals. Matt Hudson-Smith. It is a tall, tall

:49:50. > :49:54.order for Hudson-Smith. Simply to make a semifinal in an Olympic Games

:49:55. > :49:59.is quite an achievement, but he will have to go close to better his

:50:00. > :50:07.personal best, the quickest of the fastest losers at the moment. 44.71

:50:08. > :50:12.of Santos is hanging on in the second of the fastest losers. There

:50:13. > :50:20.is Gil Roberts. He Hageled his way in a false start. Haggled his way in

:50:21. > :50:36.a false start. The 21-year-old there. He doesn't appear too often

:50:37. > :50:57.on the international circuit. The polish racer. There is Isaac

:50:58. > :51:01.Makwala. Makwala, the African Games champion guess in on 1. There is

:51:02. > :51:26.Steven Gardiner. Hudson-Smith doesn't mind lane 8.

:51:27. > :51:30.He's run well from there. The others are running blind. Judge that pace.

:51:31. > :51:35.We will see if he can go close to his personal best and see where that

:51:36. > :51:47.gets him. The final heat in the semifinals of the men's 400 metres.

:51:48. > :51:54.Away they go. Matthew Hudson-Smith on the far outside in the white

:51:55. > :52:00.vessel. There will be quick men in lanes 3, 4, 5 and 6 chasing him

:52:01. > :52:07.down. They are moving along nicely at the moment. A tall, elegant

:52:08. > :52:16.figure of Steven Gardiner. A bit of work to do. He's gone out quickly

:52:17. > :52:19.here. Around the bend. The runner in lane 3 is locking strong again.

:52:20. > :52:26.Roberts from the United States has a bit to do. Matthew Hudson-Smith

:52:27. > :52:32.being left. Will he finish strongly? Roberts is trying to get there. Matt

:52:33. > :52:40.Hudson-Smith with a late charge. Can't quite get there on the line,

:52:41. > :52:46.so close. Taplin got the victory. What a fast, fast finish from Matt

:52:47. > :52:54.Hudson-Smith. We will look for the times a well. The time of the winner

:52:55. > :52:58.44.44. So that is quick. That is quick for Matt Hudson-Smith. I think

:52:59. > :53:03.he may well have qualified. He's seen the time. Smiles for Matt. He

:53:04. > :53:10.got second, in fact. He doesn't need the time. What a run! He got him on

:53:11. > :53:15.the line. He has denied Ali of Bahrain. What a run here, Michael.

:53:16. > :53:20.Talk about judging 400 metres and with 100 to go Matt Hudson-Smith had

:53:21. > :53:24.so much to do, but didn't he judge it well? He judged it well because

:53:25. > :53:28.he made a mistake at the start from 200 but corrected it. I thought he

:53:29. > :53:34.got off the gas a bit too much around the bend, but he ran tight in

:53:35. > :53:37.the first 200 so that allowed him to have something in the end. A great

:53:38. > :53:41.adjustment. That was an adjustment by Matthew Hudson-Smith right there

:53:42. > :53:45.after a mistake in the first 200 pleaters, given he was on the

:53:46. > :53:49.outside. He was able to conserve a bit from 200 to 300 which is where

:53:50. > :53:53.you normally make a move and get himself back into this from 300 to

:53:54. > :53:58.400. Here he is on the outside and knows he's got speed and heat on his

:53:59. > :54:02.inside. He gets out tough. This is where you would normally start to

:54:03. > :54:09.relax, but he doesn't ever really relax. He is still pushing. At this

:54:10. > :54:12.point you can't run 400 metres pushing the entire way. He is

:54:13. > :54:16.starting to let off the gos. I thought why let off the gas there,

:54:17. > :54:21.don't do this? That was a great adjustment that he didn't listen to

:54:22. > :54:25.me because he was able to now put himself into position to come off of

:54:26. > :54:29.this bend and have enough finish to get himself back into this race and

:54:30. > :54:35.finish strong with a personal best. So fantastic adjustment by the young

:54:36. > :54:42.400-metre runner there who is starting to establish himself with

:54:43. > :54:46.his consistency this year at mid-44 seconds, 44.5, 44.4, that puts him

:54:47. > :54:50.in the final where anything can happen. He could end up in the

:54:51. > :54:57.middle with all of the greats in a great lane. You are starting to see

:54:58. > :55:00.some of these guys, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Cedeno from Trinidad

:55:01. > :55:04.and Tobago say, "I want a piece of this too." It is not just about the

:55:05. > :55:08.big three. A great run from Matthew Hudson-Smith. Great to see him come

:55:09. > :55:15.to these championships, make the adjustment and show some experience

:55:16. > :55:21.and do good. Nice job. He got second place by one-hundredth of a second.

:55:22. > :55:27.He is 21. You can see his reaction. He's done a personal best and now he

:55:28. > :55:30.is talking to Phil Jones. It was clear for all to see, but

:55:31. > :55:34.understandable, too. A huge personal best. You are in an Olympic final. I

:55:35. > :55:42.don't think you can quit believe it. LAUGHS

:55:43. > :55:47.. That was crazy. Tell us about the race. It seemed like Michael was

:55:48. > :55:52.talking about how you almost consciously took a step back a

:55:53. > :56:00.little bit, took it easy around the top end. You came home strong. I

:56:01. > :56:07.messed up on the transition in the top end, but I have no idea what

:56:08. > :56:11.just happened here. So it wasn't an intentional thing you weren't

:56:12. > :56:17.telling me? No. It was an improvisation. My coach and

:56:18. > :56:24.team-mates also told us to control your emotions. When I felt them go

:56:25. > :56:29.past I thought, "I'll have enough left, I have another gear" so I just

:56:30. > :56:33.started kicking and I was getting closer and closer. I wasn't sure if

:56:34. > :56:37.I made it when I saw the time. Then I saw I came second and made the

:56:38. > :56:41.final I was really happy because it wasn't the best of runs. Michael

:56:42. > :56:45.just said it and we all did really, it is one of those things once you

:56:46. > :56:52.are in the final, who knows what can happen. I am in the final. I said at

:56:53. > :56:58.the end it is about the right time. I proved it. Next race is final.

:56:59. > :57:05.Perform on the day. I have still got a lot to learn. A lot to work on

:57:06. > :57:09.still. 44.48. Its whatn't the best of runs. So there is a lot to work

:57:10. > :57:13.on and I am really exciter for the final now. Congratulations.

:57:14. > :57:20.Fantastic. See you there. Thank you. It wasn't the best of runs, a lot to

:57:21. > :57:23.work on. He's taken four-tenths of a second off his personal best and

:57:24. > :57:32.made the final of the Olympics and that is what it means. What a run to

:57:33. > :57:39.get it right on the line as well. Just one-hundredth of a second ahead

:57:40. > :57:53.of Khamis. An extremely good run for Matthew Hudson-Smith through to the

:57:54. > :58:02.final. And Kirani James just about going below 44 seconds. Lashawn

:58:03. > :58:07.Merritt and Machel Cedeno are the big three. That is your line up for

:58:08. > :58:11.the big final. Greg Rutherford getting himself ready to start the

:58:12. > :58:16.defence of his Olympic title in the long jump competition and he got

:58:17. > :58:21.here by the skin of his teeth. Two no jumps. Tenth place last night,

:58:22. > :58:25.but if there is anything that Greg Rutherford can do, we mow is pull

:58:26. > :58:30.out a big jump when it counts. Will he do that here tonight and make

:58:31. > :58:33.history? We have to have a line about Matthew Hudson-Smith and we

:58:34. > :58:36.have kind of adored him from the beginning. I feel like

:58:37. > :58:39.have kind of adored him from the beginning. I feel like we are early

:58:40. > :58:43.adopters. That night in Glasgow, remember when he stormed through. He

:58:44. > :58:50.has been a favourite of ours. He loves you. You gave him some advice

:58:51. > :58:56.last year and I think you like him. It was grat to have him in the

:58:57. > :59:01.studio last year. What I liked about the interview is he spoke about that

:59:02. > :59:04.wasn't the best race. What I like about him and it bodes well for his

:59:05. > :59:08.future, he understands that. He gets it. He understood exactly what he

:59:09. > :59:12.did. He said he didn't transition well on top of the bend and he

:59:13. > :59:15.didn't, but that worked to his benefit at the end of his day. Great

:59:16. > :59:18.move and I think he learned from that. Seeing an athlete come out

:59:19. > :59:21.with a personal best and say that wasn't the best race and I know

:59:22. > :59:25.exactly why. That is the kind of athlete, especially in a race like

:59:26. > :59:29.the 400 metres, where it is very strategic. You have to know what you

:59:30. > :59:34.are doing and where you are. You have to come off the end of that

:59:35. > :59:37.race and know why you won it or why you lost it. That is what great

:59:38. > :59:40.400-metre runners do. He has a bright future ahead of him. He

:59:41. > :59:43.talked about learning a lot in the future and he's still a lot to

:59:44. > :59:47.learn. He needs to learn that between now and the final because

:59:48. > :59:50.he's a great opportunity to do something good and potentially bring

:59:51. > :00:01.home a medal. You never know what is going to happen with the big three.

:00:02. > :00:08.Merritt Kirani James. Those guys could start to focus on each other.

:00:09. > :00:14.Hudson-Smith could sneak in and get a medal. I agree with exactly what

:00:15. > :00:18.you are saying, but the beauty with Matthew is he doesn't know and that

:00:19. > :00:23.makes him fearless. He is prepared to run his own race and just listen

:00:24. > :00:27.to his body "Whatever I have got, I am going to give." He's made a

:00:28. > :00:34.massive personal best. Absolutely massive personal best. When you look

:00:35. > :00:39.at the British record, 44.36 Ewan Thomas's record, it is exciting.

:00:40. > :00:42.Let's look at the track. I know you had a close look at the women.

:00:43. > :00:46.Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce looking to make history. You've had three in

:00:47. > :00:59.particular you have taken a close look at for us. Yeah, we looked at

:01:00. > :01:03.Tory Bowie, Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Daphne Shivers. Look at the

:01:04. > :01:07.difference in turnover. That is due to the difference in size. Compact

:01:08. > :01:11.and powerful is Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce leading at the

:01:12. > :01:17.beginning of the race. Opened up a huge gap. Watch the quickness. She

:01:18. > :01:23.sits high up on the blocks. Watch the quickness. Out and done. It is

:01:24. > :01:27.over. As long as she is patient and she closes that gap quickly at the

:01:28. > :01:30.end. She is able to take advantage of the longer stride and the fact

:01:31. > :01:36.that she is able to, she has endurance. She was a heptathlete.

:01:37. > :01:39.She has the endurance she can hold that speed longer than Shelley-Ann

:01:40. > :01:42.Fraser-Pryce is able to de. This year Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce has

:01:43. > :01:46.not been able to run like that. We haven't seen her put that No. 1 up

:01:47. > :01:50.three metres from the finish like she did there. This year she's had

:01:51. > :01:53.to be much more careful and she will be tonight much more careful. This

:01:54. > :01:59.could be a great match-up and then you see Tory on the left of the

:02:00. > :02:04.screen who has been running - she has been on fire this year. Didn't

:02:05. > :02:10.win the US files but she was second. This could be very interesting. And

:02:11. > :02:17.then you have the other Americans. You have got, who else do we have,

:02:18. > :02:25.Denise? Who is the other 100 metre runner? You just asked me. We have

:02:26. > :02:28.got a great thing with Gardener who did win the English championships so

:02:29. > :02:31.this should be interesting. Thank you, Michael. We will go back out to

:02:32. > :02:42.the long jump now with Steve. We are moments away with Greg

:02:43. > :02:47.Rutherford taking to the runway in the first time in the men's final,

:02:48. > :02:50.but before that we will see his training partner, the Australian.

:02:51. > :03:06.One of two Australians who have made this final. A real mix from around

:03:07. > :03:10.the world. First up it is Fabrice, the world's silver medallist indoors

:03:11. > :03:16.and out in the first round of the final. That looked like a foul. Was

:03:17. > :03:21.it? It is beyond 8 metres, but it won't be measured. It is a quick

:03:22. > :03:24.runway. We have seen a few fouls. Greg Rutherford produced a couple

:03:25. > :03:29.himself in qualification. I tell you what, he has been chomping at the

:03:30. > :03:33.bit. He's a completely different demeanour about him than he had

:03:34. > :03:40.yesterday in qualification. He looked focused. He looks eager. He

:03:41. > :03:47.is up for this and he knows that if he gets this right, he can go away

:03:48. > :03:51.with another Olympic title. It is a big mountain to climb when you think

:03:52. > :03:54.he is not on the top in the world list. He wasn't one of the best

:03:55. > :03:56.qualifiers. In fact, he was one of the worst. They know he's got

:03:57. > :04:15.something special about him. He almost puts a spell on the

:04:16. > :04:19.opposition. They look to him because they know his competitive mettle is

:04:20. > :04:24.something special. World Champion, Olympic Champion, double European

:04:25. > :04:29.champion, every major outdoor title available to him, he has. Greg

:04:30. > :04:33.Rutherford on the runway, ready to leap the jump of his life. First

:04:34. > :04:37.round of the men's long jump final. Greg Rutherford!

:04:38. > :04:43.Well, it's beyond eight metres. Is it a foul? It was close if it wasn't

:04:44. > :04:53.over the board. It is a valid jump. It is a mark that will go into the

:04:54. > :04:58.lead because Emiliano Lasa of Uruguay was 7.93m first up. Took the

:04:59. > :05:02.lead. Perfect on the board. He's made exactly the adjustment. That

:05:03. > :05:10.bodes well. I was talking to Colin Jackson earlier about the importance

:05:11. > :05:16.of getting a first-round jump in. It's 8.18m, take the lead. First of

:05:17. > :05:26.three semifinals in the women's 100m.

:05:27. > :05:31.Michelle-Lee Ahye is out quickly in lane six.

:05:32. > :05:39.Tori Bowie alongside her. Two to go through automatically and it's the

:05:40. > :05:46.American and the Trinidadian, Michelle-Lee Ahye and Tori Bowie

:05:47. > :05:56.running Murielle Ahoure out of things. And initial-Lee Ahye came

:05:57. > :05:59.through so strongly. They're the automatic qualifiers.

:06:00. > :06:07.That was quick. Colin Jackson having a look at this one. It was brilliant

:06:08. > :06:12.to see. Of course, Ahoure exploded out of the blocks but Ahye and Bowie

:06:13. > :06:17.bided their time, raced each other through to haul themselves into the

:06:18. > :06:20.automatic selection position. They get right through into the final.

:06:21. > :06:24.Great racing now. Look at those times. Three ladies already under 11

:06:25. > :06:33.seconds. This is looking exciting, Andrew. Absolutely.

:06:34. > :06:35.The Jamaican has run an -- personal best, Christania Williams. We're

:06:36. > :06:40.talking about times not being particularly quick but in the 400m

:06:41. > :06:43.and 100m we've seen quick times this evening. Everybody is stepping up

:06:44. > :06:46.now. The semifinal is what it's all about. You need to get to the final.

:06:47. > :06:52.Everybody is sharp, focused, looking for the final spot. So the times are

:06:53. > :06:58.going to improve. There it is. There's the photo

:06:59. > :07:03.finish. Little to separate them. It doesn't look like Tori Bowie got it

:07:04. > :07:11.there. But they were given the same times to the thousandth of a second.

:07:12. > :07:14.And Michelle-Lee Ahye with a season's best and Christania

:07:15. > :07:19.Williams, 10.96. Two fastest losers go through and that stands her in

:07:20. > :07:32.very good stead with two semifinals to come with British involvement.

:07:33. > :07:35.We're well into the first-round long jump. This is Shaun McMahon of South

:07:36. > :07:42.Africa. Very quick on -- this is Luvo

:07:43. > :07:46.Manyonga. That's over eight metres and will challenge for the lead.

:07:47. > :07:50.He's jumped 8.30 this year. That's his lifetime best. Luvo Manyonga of

:07:51. > :07:53.South Africa. Very quick on -- this is Luvo

:07:54. > :07:55.Manyonga. That's over eight metres and will challenge for the lead.

:07:56. > :07:58.He's jumped 8.30 this year. That's his lifetime best. 4 years of age,

:07:59. > :08:01.the South African. He seemed to adjust there. Maybe more to come.

:08:02. > :08:06.He's one to watch. 11cm behind the Plasticine.

:08:07. > :08:07.Manyonga, it's 8.16, two centimetres behind Rutherford, goes into second

:08:08. > :08:30.place. Perfect conditions in the Olympic

:08:31. > :08:37.Stadium. Around 23 degrees, not much wind to speak of.

:08:38. > :08:41.So Jeffrey Henderson took the US Championships, the US title, with a

:08:42. > :08:45.huge jump. He's capable of jumping beyond 8.50m and possibly is the

:08:46. > :08:49.biggest threat to Greg Rutherford for the gold medal.

:08:50. > :08:52.Certainly on paper. He wasn't good last year at the

:08:53. > :08:56.World Championships, though. It all got to him a bit much and ended in

:08:57. > :09:02.tears there. What's he going to do here in the Olympic Games. Oh, it's

:09:03. > :09:08.a big, big jump for Jeff Henderson! And it's a white flag. Well, it

:09:09. > :09:14.really kicked off in this first round, a subtle frown on the brow of

:09:15. > :09:19.Rutherford. He'll know that Henderson is the map to watch. He's

:09:20. > :09:25.capable of a big jump. It's 8.20m, goes into the lead.

:09:26. > :09:28.But Rutherford, well, he knows he's capable of fighting back for that.

:09:29. > :09:33.This is going to be a brilliant competition.

:09:34. > :09:36.Al Joyner watching on, Olympic triple jump champion, coach to

:09:37. > :09:40.Henderson. This will be some competition. Wow.

:09:41. > :09:49.I bet Rutherford can't wait to get out for his second jump, can he?

:09:50. > :10:00.Well, a real great atmosphere in the stadium. Rutherford will love this.

:10:01. > :10:05.He's got a good jump in so the pressure's off a little and he can

:10:06. > :10:09.relax and use the energy here in the Olympic Stadium as we see Rushwahl

:10:10. > :10:14.Samaai, 8.38 this year and he has, or has he? No. I thought I saw the

:10:15. > :10:24.mark of his feet there beyond the leading mark... It won't take the

:10:25. > :10:27.lead, though. Super-Saturday already warming up,

:10:28. > :10:30.isn't it? Greg Rutherford in second place now.

:10:31. > :10:39.Asha Phillip now in the second semifinal of the 100m. Doesn't get

:10:40. > :10:43.any bigger, really. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price attempting to be the

:10:44. > :11:01.first to win three gold medals consecutively. Talou is on her

:11:02. > :11:04.right. In lane seven, Tianna Bartoletta, second in the American

:11:05. > :11:08.championships in this event and in the long jump, where she is the

:11:09. > :11:13.World Champion. 30 years of age, Bartoletta. But

:11:14. > :11:24.running faster in the 100m than ever. Pohrebnyak from Ukraine in

:11:25. > :11:30.lane eight. And one on the outside will get a huge cheer, more than

:11:31. > :11:40.anybody else, Rosangela Santos. CHEERING

:11:41. > :11:46.Funnily enough, she's from Brazil. This is Dafne Schippars. Landazuri

:11:47. > :11:51.from Ecuador is over in the far side. So Dafne Schippers and

:11:52. > :11:56.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, two favourites for the gold medal and

:11:57. > :12:01.Asha Philip trying to take them on. We've seen three women go sub-11 in

:12:02. > :12:16.the first semifinal. The wind is slightly behind them.

:12:17. > :12:21.Well, Schippers gets out reasonably quick. Philip starts fast.

:12:22. > :12:29.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is right there. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce goes

:12:30. > :12:35.away! Schippers takes second! 10.89! Ho ho ho! Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is

:12:36. > :12:45.getting faster and faster and faster. This quest to become the

:12:46. > :12:51.first to win three Olympic titles. Some tears there. Is she limping,

:12:52. > :12:55.Colin? Yeah, I was just looking at that to see her reaction then. I

:12:56. > :12:58.tried to say down the track and see... She's not happy at all, is

:12:59. > :13:06.she? Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. But she should be with the run itself.

:13:07. > :13:11.Because it was very good. It was explosive, everything we know about

:13:12. > :13:16.Shelly-Ann Pryce, we saw her cruise off there. I wonder if she nicked a

:13:17. > :13:20.muscle. I'm hoping she hasn't done any damage because we truly want to

:13:21. > :13:23.see her in the final. No answer from anybody else in this

:13:24. > :13:28.field. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce out hard. She extends the lead in the

:13:29. > :13:32.middle part of the race with the great magical turnover that she's

:13:33. > :13:36.got. She's a pocket rocket. And Dafne Schippers couldn't quite get

:13:37. > :13:42.to the line, 10.89 is the time, Steve. She's in good shape.

:13:43. > :13:45.It's literally just as she goes over the line. I don't foe if we'll see

:13:46. > :13:49.it in this head-on. As Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce goes over the line, she

:13:50. > :13:52.pops in the air a little bit. It's not something major, I think, you're

:13:53. > :13:57.right, but the tears came. She knew, didn't she? Yeah, she knows there's

:13:58. > :14:01.something wrong with her and she can't quite put a hand on it. This

:14:02. > :14:04.will be frustrating for us all because if she doesn't make it

:14:05. > :14:09.through to the final because of this injury, it would be so disappointing

:14:10. > :14:12.for her. Remember she is going for the triple.

:14:13. > :14:23.Let's keep our fingers crossed but she has qualified. Asha Philip was

:14:24. > :14:29.in a tough semifinal there and, well, I guess time will tell. She

:14:30. > :14:33.hasn't got too much time. It's due, that race, in an hour and 20

:14:34. > :14:37.minutes, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, winning in 10.88. Schippers 10.90.

:14:38. > :14:42.They're qualified. Talou running very fast. Of course, there is

:14:43. > :14:47.another semifinal to come but at the minute that would be quick enough

:14:48. > :14:51.for a fastest-loser spot but not for part Bartoletta. So is Shelly-Ann

:14:52. > :15:02.Fraser-Pryce going to be able to run the final? We're getting towards the

:15:03. > :15:11.end of the first round of the long jump final and this is one of the

:15:12. > :15:14.most talented in the field. Jarrion Lawson is the world leader

:15:15. > :15:19.in the first round. It's a big effort.

:15:20. > :15:22.Well, Lawson, the Americans have come with a very different attitude

:15:23. > :15:30.than they did a year ago. It's good on the board. Lawson, this may even

:15:31. > :15:33.threaten the lead. A little dip and drive there. He just lost his

:15:34. > :15:43.height. It's perfect on the board and Lawson will be a handful. Greg

:15:44. > :15:49.Rutherford has a mountain to climb. 8.19, just one centimetre of his

:15:50. > :15:56.team-mate and it's a moment - it's USA one-two at the moment.

:15:57. > :16:01.Jessica Ennis-Hill is out and getting herself ready for the second

:16:02. > :16:06.group in this heptathlon. The javelin starts in five minutes'

:16:07. > :16:12.time. She's a 48.33 PB in the javelin. We showed you the stats

:16:13. > :16:17.earlier on. If they all throw their PBs and run their PBs tonight, she

:16:18. > :16:21.would take gold. We've seen Katarina Johnson-Thompson below her best.

:16:22. > :16:24.What can Jess produce tonight to retain her Olympic title? And what

:16:25. > :16:30.an incredible story and achievement that would be.

:16:31. > :16:36.And of course, in about ten minutes' time, you'll see one of Great

:16:37. > :16:43.Britain's greatest ever athletes, Mo Farah enter the arena. The countdown

:16:44. > :16:46.is on. He'll be striding out the back

:16:47. > :16:50.somewhere near here underneath the stadium, in the bowels of the

:16:51. > :16:54.stadium, getting himself physically and mentally ready for what could be

:16:55. > :17:01.an incredible moment in athletics history. Will let's get back down on

:17:02. > :17:10.to the track and the next semifinal in the women's 100m.

:17:11. > :17:20.Well, they are ready down there for the third semifinal and what

:17:21. > :17:24.semifinals we've seen so far. What a run from Shelly-Ann

:17:25. > :17:27.Fraser-Pryce. Her fellow countrywoman, Elaine Thompson, is in

:17:28. > :17:31.great form this year. Desiree Henry has one of the guest lanes as one of

:17:32. > :17:36.the quickest qualifiers. She didn't leave a lot out there, perhaps, but

:17:37. > :17:40.I'm sure she can threaten her personal best of 11.06. Very, very

:17:41. > :17:45.good conditions. Just a slight breeze behind the sprinters.

:17:46. > :17:50.Blessing Okagbare perhaps not quite as fast as she was a couple of years

:17:51. > :17:55.ago. If she starts well, her top end speed stands her a good chance of

:17:56. > :17:58.going through. And the American champion, the intense star of

:17:59. > :18:04.English Gardnor, took the US title for a second time in Oregon last

:18:05. > :18:11.month with 10.74 which only Elaine Thompson has bettered this season.

:18:12. > :18:16.And on the outside, Tatjana Pinto ran 11 seconds dead two weeks ago in

:18:17. > :18:21.Germany. A meeting in-man I'm when everyone was going very quickly. And

:18:22. > :18:23.there is Carina Horn of South Africa.

:18:24. > :18:31.She holds the South African 100m record. She ran 11.32 in the first

:18:32. > :18:39.round so she has her work cut out here.

:18:40. > :18:43.Ivet Lalova is a non-starter. Semoy Hackett, who has searched -- served

:18:44. > :18:45.a couple of drug bans, is in lane three. We've seen Shelly-Ann

:18:46. > :18:49.Fraser-Pryce go through. What state is she in? Is it a recurrence of a

:18:50. > :18:56.toe injury which has troubled her throughout the season? The final is

:18:57. > :19:00.in just over 1:20. Elaine Thompson was flying up a month or so ago,

:19:01. > :19:04.perhaps more than that, but she's been troubled with a hamstring

:19:05. > :19:11.problem. Two to go through automatically. And the two fastest

:19:12. > :19:16.losers, but we have seen some very quick times so far.

:19:17. > :19:21.Desiree Henry trying to keep pace with Elaine Thompson at the moment

:19:22. > :19:29.and doing so. Elaine Thompson out well. Here comes English Gardner.

:19:30. > :19:37.It's Elaine Thompson and English Gardner. Blessing Okagbare perhaps.

:19:38. > :19:41.The two Jamaicans set the quickest times, 10.88 for Thompson, 10.89 for

:19:42. > :19:44.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. They are throwing down the challenge to the

:19:45. > :19:49.Americans. Another good run from Desiree Henry. She's been pipped on

:19:50. > :19:53.the line for third place by Blessing Okagbare but what a run from Elaine

:19:54. > :19:56.Thompson. I question whether, you know, her hamstring problems that

:19:57. > :20:00.she's been talking about - well, no sign of any problems there.

:20:01. > :20:05.She won the Jamaican Championships with a magical time of 10.70, with a

:20:06. > :20:10.dodgy hamstring. Here I think there's so much more to come. That

:20:11. > :20:13.is the easiest 10.88 I've seen so far today. Let's have a look at this

:20:14. > :20:18.head-on. Out of the blocks well. Very accurate. She's right of our

:20:19. > :20:22.screen remember in the yellow and black Jamaican strip. Focus down

:20:23. > :20:26.there. She comes to that lovely upright run. She's gentle. She's

:20:27. > :20:30.bouncing and right now she's going to shut down, engine's going to calm

:20:31. > :20:37.down. She knows she's through to the final, easy and smooth. Desiree enry

:20:38. > :20:41.working hard to get there and, unfortunately, she's only run 11.09.

:20:42. > :20:46.She'll be disappointed, I know, Desiree, because she wants to get

:20:47. > :20:49.the 11-second barrier under her belt. It will come. Be patient.

:20:50. > :20:53.She's 20 and gone close to an Olympic final but it ends here in

:20:54. > :20:59.the semifinal, at least individually, for Desiree Henry but,

:21:00. > :21:02.again, look at the times. Elaine Thompson 10.88, English Gardner

:21:03. > :21:07.10.90. Eight go through to the final and all eight have run below 11

:21:08. > :21:11.seconds and that final is in one hour and 20 minutes.

:21:12. > :21:14.Well, the action is coming thick and fast this evening. Greg Rutherford

:21:15. > :21:21.is on the runway. His second attempt in this long jump

:21:22. > :21:24.final. The lead - Henderson 8.20m. Just four centimetres covering the

:21:25. > :21:28.top four athletes and at the moment Rutherford is in third place. Oh,

:21:29. > :21:33.it's another jump beyond eight metres. You can see the white line

:21:34. > :21:40.is the lead. This is going to come down to... Absolutely tiny margins.

:21:41. > :21:45.There's dad. Greg's coach, worked so hard on his run-up. Perfect on the

:21:46. > :21:49.board on the first round. That bodes well for him to just compete. It's

:21:50. > :21:55.good again. Four jumps remaining. It doesn't

:21:56. > :22:00.look as though it's going to improve on the 8.18m. He's just two

:22:01. > :22:03.centimetres off Henderson's lead of 8.20m.

:22:04. > :22:10.Rutherford in third place behind the two Americans. No improvement in the

:22:11. > :22:14.second round. Right then, Brianne Theisen-Eaton -

:22:15. > :22:20.she's been a little outclassed over the last two days of this heptathlon

:22:21. > :22:24.it has to be said. She came in as the world leader and

:22:25. > :22:29.may exit with nothing unless she can produce a big throw in the javelin

:22:30. > :22:34.and run the 800m of her life. Ooh, that's a good throw. She's got

:22:35. > :22:38.on to that and that's a big effort for the Canadian. Her husband like

:22:39. > :22:43.it, Ashton Eton there, arms in the air. -- Eaton, there, arms in the

:22:44. > :22:48.air. He really likes T that's probably the best throw we've seen

:22:49. > :22:53.so far. We saw Katarina Johnson-Thompson earlier throw 36m.

:22:54. > :23:01.This is close to 50m. She has a lifetime best of 47.74m. She may

:23:02. > :23:04.threaten that and Theisen-Eaton has just swallowed up some of the

:23:05. > :23:10.athletes above her. She's gone into third place.

:23:11. > :23:15.It's just shy of her lifetime best. Right then. Take a breath because

:23:16. > :23:21.Jessica Ennis-Hill is on the runway. She has gone about her business

:23:22. > :23:28.quietly and competently across the previous five events. We're at the

:23:29. > :23:42.sixth. A slightly different look on the face of Tony Minicelo.

:23:43. > :23:55.Mick Hill, the javelin specialist coach has produced a fairly stable

:23:56. > :24:06.technique. It's a big effort. It's a huge effort! It's a massive throw

:24:07. > :24:10.for Jessica Ennis-Hill! Wow! That may have just clinched her another

:24:11. > :24:16.Olympic gold medal because if this is beyond 45m, I don't think anyone

:24:17. > :24:20.can catch her. She's exceptional over 800m. The right foot goes

:24:21. > :24:27.forward. She committed the hip. That is wonderful! I know Mick Hill back

:24:28. > :24:32.home will have hit the roof with that, #4r57 91m and two throws

:24:33. > :24:36.remaining -- 45.91m and two throws remaining.

:24:37. > :24:42.Well, that is just what she would have wanted. I'll be honest, I

:24:43. > :24:47.thought it was a little further. Here's Toni. Well, that's about as

:24:48. > :24:52.enthusiastic as we've seen as a reaction across all the events from

:24:53. > :24:57.Toni Minichiello. That's Toni celebrating inside, trust me. I was

:24:58. > :25:02.nervous there. The warm-ups weren't great but it's a good start for

:25:03. > :25:06.Jess. Saturday night is all right for

:25:07. > :25:11.fighting for your Olympic gold title. And Jessica Ennis-Hill has

:25:12. > :25:15.absolutely punched through there with her first throw because that

:25:16. > :25:18.will totally settle the nerves, Denise, won't it? Calm her down? She

:25:19. > :25:21.did everything what she's been coached to do and you were saying,

:25:22. > :25:25.that's it, that's the block, that's where her hip should be. It was a

:25:26. > :25:29.beautiful example of how to throw a jave Lynn. It was a really --

:25:30. > :25:33.javelin. It was a really, really good throw. Everything, as you said,

:25:34. > :25:38.you want to see in the technique, steady on the runway, kept the arm

:25:39. > :25:41.back nicely so she's given herself, you know, a long range to throw

:25:42. > :25:45.through. She blocked that left leg which acts as a pivot. It's almost

:25:46. > :25:49.like, um, you know, a sling shot. You block hard and sling the javelin

:25:50. > :25:57.and she did it brilliantly. Just what you need for the first round.

:25:58. > :26:03.We saw a of Thiam there, who was a leader by five points going in to

:26:04. > :26:09.this. She's just sat to the left of her actually and she looked

:26:10. > :26:13.concerned because Thiam's 800m is nowhere near as good as hers. Mo

:26:14. > :26:20.time is coming up thick and fast. We knew that when we sat down in the

:26:21. > :26:27.studio that we'd be treated to some fantastic athletics already.

:26:28. > :26:29.Mo is heading out to the track to hopefully make history.

:26:30. > :26:52.What a journey he's been on. A story of human movement, this

:26:53. > :27:02.looks easy. It has been anything but. 1983, the start - twin boys are

:27:03. > :27:11.born in Mogadishu, Somalia. Eight years later, one twin moves to

:27:12. > :27:17.London. He loves football, running. Running wins. There are setbacks.

:27:18. > :27:22.That was a disappointing performance by Mo Farah. Successes. He's

:27:23. > :27:28.destroying them in the home straight! Double European champion!

:27:29. > :27:34.He must change, change routine, change coach, change everything. He

:27:35. > :27:40.must move to move faster. Catch him, man! There's no denying Farah. Is he

:27:41. > :27:47.ready now? Is this the time? Is this the place? He's kicking again! Farah

:27:48. > :27:53.is going for it! It's gold! It is. He's the double Olympic Champion!

:27:54. > :27:58.These are Mo nights and this is Mo-town. This is world domination

:27:59. > :28:01.for Farah! And if becomes the Mo-tion picture of the age to be

:28:02. > :28:07.repeated and appreciated time after time. Sticking away, as expected.

:28:08. > :28:12.Our monumental Mo. Mo Farah is best. Mo Farah is the

:28:13. > :28:19.World Champion again! Five world titles. Simply sensational! What

:28:20. > :28:41.comes next in this story of human movement? Already the greats, can he

:28:42. > :28:47.now pull clear? Rio Mo. Go Mo! Here they come - the 10,000m athletes

:28:48. > :28:51.making their way out into the arena, all 34 of them there and it was

:28:52. > :28:54.Geoffrey Kamworor who led the way there, arguably the man who many

:28:55. > :28:59.feel can put up the biggest fight for Mo. Look at him giving the crowd

:29:00. > :29:03.what they want, telling them to get behind him. He's here for not just a

:29:04. > :29:07.shot at glory but he wants this crowd to be with him. He wants them

:29:08. > :29:11.to enjoy the spectacle, Paula. He wants the support. He knows he's

:29:12. > :29:15.ready. He's excited. Part of the reason they brought the run-on for

:29:16. > :29:18.the finals - we didn't see it in the morning finals, probably just

:29:19. > :29:21.because it wasn't dark then - but as they come out, they get that

:29:22. > :29:29.entrance to the arena and he'll really play it today in the arena.

:29:30. > :29:35.He knows he's in shape. He knows the others will bring it to to him but

:29:36. > :29:37.he knows he's ready. We're just going to catch Thiam in the javelin

:29:38. > :29:41.before this race. Steve Backley is ready. Let's not

:29:42. > :29:45.forget Jessica Ennis-Hill has still work to do because Nafissatou Thiam,

:29:46. > :29:51.a slender lead of five points ahead of Jess. Thiam just 21 years of age.

:29:52. > :29:56.And she's a brilliant javelin thrower.

:29:57. > :30:00.She's starting from a short approach. I'm surprised to see this

:30:01. > :30:05.because she needs to throw far. It's a long throw. Oh, she's produced

:30:06. > :30:11.something massive! But she's hurt her elbow, has she? It probably

:30:12. > :30:20.doesn't matter. That's over 50m. Well... This is drama.

:30:21. > :30:24.Jess watching on, knows that the 45m she's just thrown is a decent throw

:30:25. > :30:32.for her but look at the flight on that. It could be a new lifetime

:30:33. > :30:37.best for the Belgian. And at 21 years of age, Nafissatou

:30:38. > :30:49.Thiam produced something very special. It's 53.13m and that's

:30:50. > :30:53.close to a lifetime best. But now it's Mo time, the first part

:30:54. > :30:56.of the trilogy that is super-Saturday. This is the one that

:30:57. > :31:03.could be completed first, Mo Farah going for gold. Brendan Foster and

:31:04. > :31:10.Steve Cram, take it away. Well, it's Saturday, it's the

:31:11. > :31:16.Olympic Games. Time for some gold. Mo Farah, the first to have his

:31:17. > :31:21.opportunity on super-Saturday. His big rival in this race - he's not

:31:22. > :31:27.only one but may be the biggest one - Geoffrey Kamworor from Kenya. Ross

:31:28. > :31:36.Millington and Andy Vernon will be joining Mo Farah wearing the British

:31:37. > :31:39.vest. Wearing the vest of Kenya is Bedan Karoki Muchiri. The same three

:31:40. > :31:42.Kenyans who tried to pull the finish out of Mo Farah in the World

:31:43. > :31:48.Championships last year, and weren't able to do it, are here again

:31:49. > :31:52.tonight. Demelash, from Ethiopia, world junior champion in 2012 when

:31:53. > :31:59.far for far won his Olympic title. We go a little further down the line

:32:00. > :32:04.and the familiar face of Zersenay Tadese, on a couple of occasions

:32:05. > :32:08.himself in his younger days tried to wrest this title from some of the

:32:09. > :32:12.great names of the past which we'll go through in a minute like Haile

:32:13. > :32:18.Gebrselassie. Big cheer for Mo Farah.

:32:19. > :32:29.Ready to go. Greg Rutherford watching on the big

:32:30. > :32:33.screen as well. Mo's training partner, Abdi, and

:32:34. > :32:41.Tola behind, trying to look for a bit of room. It's a big field in

:32:42. > :32:49.this 10,000m. Cheptegei is one to watch as well, Arikan of Turkey.

:32:50. > :32:52.There are two lines lining up. There's Paul Tanui, who qualified by

:32:53. > :32:57.rights at the Kenyan Olympic trials. The other two big names, neither of

:32:58. > :33:07.them finished the race incidentally. We might get a chance to chat about

:33:08. > :33:12.that a little bit more later. Embaye is not a familiar name but if

:33:13. > :33:18.you're wearing the vest from Ethiopia in an Olympic final, you're

:33:19. > :33:23.good. Galen Rupp is contesting the

:33:24. > :33:29.marathon as well a week on Sunday. So can Mo Farah retain his 10,000m

:33:30. > :33:40.title? Can he win his third Olympic gold medal? No British athlete has

:33:41. > :33:44.ever been able to do that. The Olympic Games four years ago was two

:33:45. > :33:47.golds. So here we go. The 10,000m final, 25 laps of the

:33:48. > :33:56.track. Well, I know everybody in this

:33:57. > :33:58.stadium and I hope people sitting at home are full of anticipation for

:33:59. > :34:03.what's going to happen in this race. We had a world record in the women's

:34:04. > :34:06.10,000m final, Brendan and that might be the one thing that's

:34:07. > :34:10.probably not going to happen here? Yeah, we might have said the same

:34:11. > :34:14.about the women's, Steve. But look at this, familiar sight, Mo Farah,

:34:15. > :34:17.Olympic Games, right at the back of the field, just relaxing, just

:34:18. > :34:24.getting into his running, just letting them do whatever they want

:34:25. > :34:28.to do and Mo Farah, the defending Olympic Champion, from Great

:34:29. > :34:33.Britain, at super-Saturday, you can't really believe it was only

:34:34. > :34:37.four years ago. Tonight we've got Jess throwing the javelin, Greg

:34:38. > :34:40.Rutherford in the long jump and Mo has embarked on his journey. The

:34:41. > :34:43.three from super-Saturday are all in action right now. There's what we

:34:44. > :34:48.expected to happen. The Kenyan team have decided over many years they

:34:49. > :34:50.weren't able to beat Mo Farah if they left the pace slow, so they've

:34:51. > :34:54.decided to try and do something about it. And there's Greg

:34:55. > :34:58.Rutherford. Yeah, it's all kicking off here, the Brits in full flow.

:34:59. > :35:02.Greg Rutherford, I'm sure, will be buoyed by the fact that Mo, his

:35:03. > :35:07.friend and colleague, who went to gold four years ago, is in the

:35:08. > :35:10.stadium. Rutherford, round 3 of the long jump in third place behind the

:35:11. > :35:15.Americans. Well... Difficult to tell without

:35:16. > :35:20.the lines there. He's been perfect on the board so far. The atmosphere

:35:21. > :35:25.electric here in the Olympic Stadium this evening. He's working hard.

:35:26. > :35:29.8.18 his best, slight forward rotation there.

:35:30. > :35:37.Maybe slightly too far back. It's 8.22m. Rutherford's taken the lead!

:35:38. > :35:43.Wow! Unbelievable stuff! Rutherford, at the halfway stage nearly, is in

:35:44. > :35:51.gold medal position. Look at this. 8.22m in the third round. Sure,

:35:52. > :36:04.there's more drama to come, though. Talking to his coach. He fought his

:36:05. > :36:07.way back into the lead, having seen Henderson and Lawson. This is going

:36:08. > :36:16.to be tight. Back to the race, though.

:36:17. > :36:24.Early stages of the 10,000m. We started with a 67.5 lap and just had

:36:25. > :36:28.a 71, much slower for the second lap. Mo Farah content to be at the

:36:29. > :36:39.back and watch what's going on. Ross milling tonne and Andy Vernon

:36:40. > :36:48.are ahead of him. Millington and Andy Vernon are ahead of him.

:36:49. > :36:56.Kamworor and Tanui is at the front. You need confidence to do what Mo is

:36:57. > :37:03.doing. He's sitting at the back of the field. Mo Farah is saying, "Come

:37:04. > :37:06.on, then. You've been talking all year about running the lead and

:37:07. > :37:10.running the finish out of me." You have to test me in the middle of the

:37:11. > :37:15.race but it's not unveiling itself yet. The Kenyan team, three athletes

:37:16. > :37:19.who finished behind Mo Farah. There's Kamworor in second place and

:37:20. > :37:24.there's Mo Farah at the back. There's Ross Millington, coached by

:37:25. > :37:28.Steve Vernon in there and just ahead of him, Andy Vernon, the other

:37:29. > :37:31.British athlete. So the three British athletes, Mo, setting the

:37:32. > :37:35.pace from the back but they're just waiting to see something happen.

:37:36. > :37:43.Now, Mo is a long way behind and I would imagine in the next few laps,

:37:44. > :37:48.he'll do something about it. Here's Jessica Ennis-Hill. Her best 45.91m

:37:49. > :37:52.in the first round. We're in Round 2.

:37:53. > :37:57.Oh, she just decelerated on that but it's another big throw. Well, this

:37:58. > :38:02.may even be an improvement. We saw that huge throw from Thiam. We've

:38:03. > :38:07.worked out that it's about 140 points that Thiam is ahead and that

:38:08. > :38:12.equates to about 10 seconds in the 800m, the last event later on this

:38:13. > :38:16.evening. And that's about the difference between the both of their

:38:17. > :38:21.prospective bests. Oh, this is going to be close. 46.06m for Jessica

:38:22. > :38:24.Ennis-Hill and she's improved in the second round with one throw

:38:25. > :38:30.remaining. And I tell you what, if she can just nick away at points

:38:31. > :38:32.here, she's going to save herself valuable tenths or possibly seconds

:38:33. > :38:50.come that final two-lap race. That was a couple of tenths slower

:38:51. > :38:53.she needs to run the 800m. Every little bit helps and Mo Farah just

:38:54. > :38:56.for the first time moving out to have a look up and see what's going

:38:57. > :39:01.on at the front. He'll sense that it's picked up. We had a couple of

:39:02. > :39:04.slow laps and the pace has just got moving a little bit, not really

:39:05. > :39:10.going too fast. It was a 67 lap and Mo just kind of looking to see who

:39:11. > :39:14.it is at the front. He won't be too worried, expect that Geoffrey

:39:15. > :39:20.Kamworor is very close to the front and although we haven't had a fast

:39:21. > :39:24.first mile or so here, first four laps or so, you sense that they are

:39:25. > :39:27.close enough to the front that it won't be long before they try

:39:28. > :39:30.something. Obviously not from the very beginning but I suspect the

:39:31. > :39:33.very fact that they're close to the front there might mean that it won't

:39:34. > :39:41.be long before they start to force it.

:39:42. > :39:45.Mo will be delighted. He's won five laps, 70 seconds a lap and for him

:39:46. > :39:52.that's like a morning jog, it really is. For him, to be able to get those

:39:53. > :39:55.five laps behind him means the race is shorter moving into his zone. If

:39:56. > :39:59.anything, these other distance runners are more accomplished over

:40:00. > :40:03.longer distances, half marathon and marathon. Mo is the king on the

:40:04. > :40:09.track and now he's decided, five laps behind him, that's enough. Two

:40:10. > :40:14.British athletes ahead of him, Ross Millington and Andy Vernon and Mo

:40:15. > :40:16.just relaxing, looks comfortable and perfectly controlled. Not doing

:40:17. > :40:21.anything about it but nobody is and the longer this goes on, the happier

:40:22. > :40:26.Mo will be. He's decided, though, that's enough. He's letting them

:40:27. > :40:33.know he's around, moving gradually through the field. Passing Muchiri,

:40:34. > :40:39.the Kenyan athlete, who will follow him, I'm sure. He's done that,

:40:40. > :40:46.Muchiri. He's the guy they're aiming to beat to ever do anything. They

:40:47. > :40:51.did it in the half marathon in Cardiff. Can they do it in the

:40:52. > :40:55.10,000m? We'll find out later. Well, in that race in Cardiff, which seems

:40:56. > :40:59.such a long time ago now, in March, on a rainy, blustery - and that's

:41:00. > :41:03.putting it politely - day, Geoffrey Kamworor run one of the most

:41:04. > :41:07.incredible pieces of distance running you might see. Fell at the

:41:08. > :41:12.start, ran a blistering first mile to get himself back in the race,

:41:13. > :41:16.having practically been trampled by a bunch of people behind him and Mo

:41:17. > :41:19.Farah wasn't able to live with that. That's half marathon. That's on the

:41:20. > :41:22.roads and everyone said, can Kamworor do the same on the track

:41:23. > :41:26.where it's a different story. Very different indeed and Kamworor will

:41:27. > :41:30.now, for the first time, if he has a little look over his shoulder, will

:41:31. > :41:35.see that Mo Farah has got himself involved in this race. He took about

:41:36. > :41:39.a lap to get up there. Look at the confusion he's caused behind him.

:41:40. > :41:46.Everybody says the game is on, Mo is up, they want to push and shove and

:41:47. > :41:50.go with him. Muchiri is pushing. Tola chipping at his heels. Mo is

:41:51. > :41:53.naughty like that, goes to the front and slows it down. But Steve, that's

:41:54. > :42:00.brilliant. He's letting them know he's there. He's moved to the front,

:42:01. > :42:04.let them know who's the boss and that's a little bit of psychological

:42:05. > :42:07.warfare. He can't believe it's happening at this pace after we've

:42:08. > :42:10.all been reading how they're going to take him on and run the finish

:42:11. > :42:15.out of him and everything like that. Mo has been reading that too. He's

:42:16. > :42:19.adjusted his training slightly so he feels he's a bit stronger. We know

:42:20. > :42:24.how fast he is. He feels a little bit stronger and there is Geoffrey

:42:25. > :42:28.Kamworor just going past Mo Farah and now the Kenyan three are

:42:29. > :42:33.surrounding Mo Farah but they're not doing anything serious, not doing

:42:34. > :42:36.anything that is going to trouble Mo Farah. Mo looks absolutely fantastic

:42:37. > :42:40.tonight. He's so light on his feet these days. He said to me in some of

:42:41. > :42:45.the photographers when he was wrung younger, he looks a bit fatter than

:42:46. > :42:48.this. He says he's now at a weight that he's happy about and he's ready

:42:49. > :42:57.to run tonight, ready to run his race. He's alongside Galen Rupp who

:42:58. > :43:02.is getting poised in case anything happens. That was the quickest lap

:43:03. > :43:06.of the race so far, 65.1 seconds. And Mo, well, I was up with the

:43:07. > :43:17.endurance squad for a week or so and you're right, he's so relaxed going

:43:18. > :43:21.into training. You said he's light on his feet. When you watch his

:43:22. > :43:25.track workouts and he builds and builds and builds and I can tell you

:43:26. > :43:30.at the end of one of his sessions, he ran a 49.9 400m and I don't know

:43:31. > :43:33.if the others know that. I would have publicised that to the world.

:43:34. > :43:37.I'm telling people now. That is frightening speed at the end of a

:43:38. > :43:43.session by the way where he did a lot of, you know, miles and

:43:44. > :43:48.kilometres and things. Nobody has that ability and I'm not sure any

:43:49. > :43:54.10,000m, even the greats, could run that 400m time. You're absolutely

:43:55. > :44:00.right. That's staggering. We saw him run just over 50m in the last lap of

:44:01. > :44:04.a 5,000m when he'd been really slow. I think he'll be happy. The pace of

:44:05. > :44:07.one lap has got a move on. That's another 65-second lap so it's

:44:08. > :44:13.beginning to get a little bit faster and it's beginning to move along.

:44:14. > :44:17.But Mo is on the journey here. He's one of only three athletes with two

:44:18. > :44:23.Olympic gold medals and he's on the journey to a third. Seb Coe tried to

:44:24. > :44:27.win three medals and didn't make the team on the third time. Daley

:44:28. > :44:32.Thompson tried to win three gold medals and finished fourth in 1988

:44:33. > :44:36.in Seoul after having won in '80 and '84. This is Mo's chance to try and

:44:37. > :44:40.become the first British athlete to win three gold medals in an Olympic

:44:41. > :44:49.Games and you know what? It's looking good for Mo so far.

:44:50. > :44:57.Mo has fallen. He's quickly up. He got a little clip there and it's the

:44:58. > :45:01.one thing they feared, you know. The whole Mo team on numerous

:45:02. > :45:07.occasions, the conversation often comes round to what if, what if he

:45:08. > :45:12.falls. We jokingly said that he if he fell

:45:13. > :45:16.on the last lap, he'd get up and win. Is it Galen? Mo was relaxing

:45:17. > :45:21.and it may have been Galen that caught the back of his heat and he's

:45:22. > :45:31.quickly up, not hurt, doesn't look bad but that's not good.

:45:32. > :45:35.Getting your rhythm upset. It was his training partner

:45:36. > :45:41.sometimes, Galen Rupp. I've seen them happen in 1972 in the Olympic

:45:42. > :45:44.final of the 10,000m and the runner who took the title and broke the

:45:45. > :45:48.world record did take a tumble. I'm not worried. I'm laughing now

:45:49. > :45:51.because I said everything was looking OK for Mo Farah and then

:45:52. > :46:02.suddenly he was tripped over. I would say to you, Mo, keep away from

:46:03. > :46:07.Galen Rupp. It sends your heart rate shooting

:46:08. > :46:11.high for a little bit and he needs to settle down a little bit. A 64

:46:12. > :46:17.lap. They're winding it up at the front. It's not the Kenyans, it's

:46:18. > :46:23.the Ethiopians. Two of them at the front, Tola the

:46:24. > :46:28.tallest one there, Demelash the youngest won -- one, now being

:46:29. > :46:31.passed as the Kenyans take the invitation. Mo Farah just happily,

:46:32. > :46:36.as they stretch out a little bit now, a few gaps are starting to

:46:37. > :46:44.appear, the little injection of pace is beginning to take a little bit of

:46:45. > :46:48.effect here and again, look at that, it's Kamworor just checking in

:46:49. > :46:57.behind Muchiri, saying keep off my heels, please.

:46:58. > :47:06.They've seen what happened to Mo. Muchiri saying to Cheptagegei to be

:47:07. > :47:10.careful. We're not too far from the halfway point. It's getting quicker.

:47:11. > :47:14.It's getting faster. It's getting stretched and the tension starts to

:47:15. > :47:19.build a little bit. Another 64-second lap and 64 laps are like

:47:20. > :47:23.30-20 pace. That's quick for 10,000m but they didn't start at that pace.

:47:24. > :47:27.They started very, very slowly and that was to Mo's advantage. Now I

:47:28. > :47:31.think he's got over the fall. He's relaxing now and it's safer now when

:47:32. > :47:35.you've got opening gaps and I think Mo will now be a bit more conscious

:47:36. > :47:38.and be careful. That's what you've got to do. You've got to get

:47:39. > :47:43.yourself over the next couple of lapse. When they're tired, you get

:47:44. > :47:46.-- laps. When they're tired, you get less trouble and little gaps appear.

:47:47. > :47:50.The pace is strong but not phenomenal. It's not testing the

:47:51. > :47:54.likes of Mo Farah, but Galen Rupp took a move through the field and

:47:55. > :48:03.now you can sense it's building a little.

:48:04. > :48:11.Jarrion Lawson on the runway for the third time of asking. The young

:48:12. > :48:19.American, 22 years of age. His best so far 8.19m. Third attempt. Oh,

:48:20. > :48:24.that's big. Lawson... He's jumped something to challenge the lead here

:48:25. > :48:29.I believe. The young American... He is the world leader with 8.58m. He

:48:30. > :48:33.is a danger man. We know that. Did he nick the sand further back there?

:48:34. > :48:37.I don't know if that's been... This may not come up as far as it looks.

:48:38. > :48:42.His hand may have just dropped back into the sand there, the closest

:48:43. > :48:47.point to the board will be the measurement.

:48:48. > :48:54.As Lawson waits anxiously, he likes it, I haven't seen it yet. It's

:48:55. > :48:59.8.25m and Lawson takes the lead away from Greg Rutherford in the third

:49:00. > :49:06.round of the halfway stage. So Jarrion Lawson is now in the

:49:07. > :49:10.lead. And the lead changes in the long jump. So it does in the 10,000m

:49:11. > :49:15.and now we have the three Kenyans. The race is now on.

:49:16. > :49:22.Tanui the first to throw the gauntlet down to Mo Farah and Mo

:49:23. > :49:25.Farah realising that this is meaningful, that the Ethiopians

:49:26. > :49:29.pushed it on a little bit, picked the pace up, stretched the field out

:49:30. > :49:35.but this is serious now. We're past halfway. We've gone through 5 now

:49:36. > :49:38.thousandm in 13.53. Not superfast, not superslow. It's been the last

:49:39. > :49:42.two kilometres which have been fairly quick and that, now, is

:49:43. > :49:52.enabling the Kenyans to build on that a little bit here. So Paul

:49:53. > :49:56.Tanui and we thought he would be the one of the three who would push it

:49:57. > :50:03.on to help Kamworor. Well, the plan was clearly to let

:50:04. > :50:06.alone for the first 5,000m but going through 5,000m in 13.53 means that

:50:07. > :50:13.Mo Farah is moving into his territory. He can handle 13:53 in

:50:14. > :50:17.training sessions quite honestly so he won't be tested over 10,000m.

:50:18. > :50:22.He'll be tested over a little bit more than 5,000m and that's very

:50:23. > :50:26.much to Mo's advantage. Tanui leading, Kamworor, who has not been

:50:27. > :50:30.well recently. He's not the same Geoffrey Kamworor that we saw in the

:50:31. > :50:35.world half Marathon Championships. I thought earlier in the season he was

:50:36. > :50:39.going to test Mo Farah over 10,000m as we look at Andy Vernon coming

:50:40. > :50:43.down the home straight, detached from the field and having a hard

:50:44. > :50:47.time. It's a bit warm for them and he seems to be sweating up quite a

:50:48. > :50:59.lot. Going back to the lead, the three Kenyans are there. Galen Rupp

:51:00. > :51:03.has drifted towards the back again. Mo has athletes around him and after

:51:04. > :51:06.the shock he had earlier, he wants to try and move out a little and

:51:07. > :51:12.just give himself a bit of clearance. That's what I would be

:51:13. > :51:19.worried about. But Tanui stretching on. Here's Jessica Ennis-Hill. She's

:51:20. > :51:23.off the run-up, close to the line, though and that was a downfall...

:51:24. > :51:29.That's a shame. She did run up but got close to the

:51:30. > :51:32.line and had to almost just bail out of that. Look at this. She's really

:51:33. > :51:36.close to the line. Difficult to tell from that angle.

:51:37. > :51:40.But she had to decelerate but it was a good effort in that second round.

:51:41. > :51:47.But, boy, is that going to be exciting. The 800m between herself

:51:48. > :51:51.and Nafissatou Thiam. 30 years of age, Jess, just 21 Nafissatou Thiam,

:51:52. > :51:58.with a sorrel bow, hasn't thrown again after the big throw in the

:51:59. > :52:07.first round. Ennis-Hill, then, still in second place overall.

:52:08. > :52:17.Chopping and changing, slowed a little bit, Paul Tanui, and that

:52:18. > :52:22.means that it's Muchiri's front. Paul, Brendan and I both saying

:52:23. > :52:25.13.53 is slower this time round. We know what happened in Beijing but

:52:26. > :52:30.Muchiri has taken off at the front, Paula. It looks like the plan is to

:52:31. > :52:33.do a little bit of a faster... I was surprised when Mo took the tumble

:52:34. > :52:37.that they didn't seize that moment then to really make it tough and to

:52:38. > :52:40.take off and start injecting the pace earlier and take advantage of

:52:41. > :52:44.the fact that Mo was ruffled for a little bit. Now looking at him -

:52:45. > :52:48.I've been watching his style - he doesn't seem to have been affected

:52:49. > :52:50.by the fall. Nothing... Not carrying any limp or anything there. So

:52:51. > :52:55.thankfully he seems to have come through that OK. I think the jolt of

:52:56. > :53:00.adrenaline might have given him an extra boost of energy even.

:53:01. > :53:05.They're bypassing the drinks. It's not a particularly warm night and a

:53:06. > :53:13.pretty good night for 10,000m running. You don't grab a drink when

:53:14. > :53:17.the race is on. 63 the previous lap, the fastest kilometre 2:41.88,

:53:18. > :53:25.roughly the same as the sixth one. So Muchiri now. Brendan, I think

:53:26. > :53:29.surging is good but Mo has so much pace to burn compared to most people

:53:30. > :53:33.that the surges, they won't seem like surges as much to him. He's

:53:34. > :53:37.working, you know. As good as you are, even if you're as good as Mo

:53:38. > :53:41.Farah, you're still working. Of course he's working but he wants to

:53:42. > :53:44.get on with it now. He's very happy to have three athletes changing the

:53:45. > :53:49.pace and him just following them. The race is getting going now. There

:53:50. > :53:54.are less athletes to trouble him. And he's literally them all and

:53:55. > :53:57.he'll be happy if they just keep pressing, keep going, keep moving it

:53:58. > :54:02.forward and he's just absolutely where he wants to be. And as the lap

:54:03. > :54:05.scorers now is down in the very... In the single figures, that really

:54:06. > :54:09.helps you. There's Kamworor for the first time.

:54:10. > :54:14.He's the one that was thought to be the danger. But he's had a tough

:54:15. > :54:20.couple of weeks. He hant been at all well recently. I'm not sure he's

:54:21. > :54:24.100%. He's giving it his best shot you I don't think there's a cha

:54:25. > :54:28.muchion out there. Kamworor has shown how good he is on the roads

:54:29. > :54:33.and Mo Farah has shown he good he is on the track. On a half marathon he

:54:34. > :54:36.was beaten by Muchiri and Kamworor but tonight he looks as though he's

:54:37. > :54:41.coasting. He looks comfortable. He's probably thinking, six laps to go,

:54:42. > :54:44.what are you going to do? This is Mo Farah territory. They're making it

:54:45. > :54:54.easy for him. The last couple of laps have been a little bit tough

:54:55. > :54:58.but not exceptionally so. Demelash now, the best of the Ethiopians and

:54:59. > :55:03.Tola are alongside him. The Kenyan plan has not evolved at all. If

:55:04. > :55:07.you're going to have to a plan that will rip the heart out of Mo Farah,

:55:08. > :55:10.it has to be long, hard running. Ross Millington has to step aside,

:55:11. > :55:15.which didn't happen in the men's 10,000m. At least Ross is well aware

:55:16. > :55:18.of the guys coming through. He's had a troubled preparation, Ross, but

:55:19. > :55:24.here in the Olympics and getting his tuvent to be in this great arena,

:55:25. > :55:27.but moves -- opportunity to be in this great arena but moves out. The

:55:28. > :55:32.two Ethiopians, who have looked spritely from the beginning,

:55:33. > :55:36.Demelash and Tola, with Tanui there. Chem chem is still looking laboured

:55:37. > :55:40.-- Kamworor is still looking laboured as Brendan was saying.

:55:41. > :55:42.Galen Rupp, as you expect, will come into this well prepared and well

:55:43. > :55:45.conditioned. And now Demelash is having a little look at the screen.

:55:46. > :55:51.He's looked relaxed throughout this and just a bit of a stretch on here.

:55:52. > :56:03.He is doing his share now and there's... 62, that's the fastest

:56:04. > :56:15.lap and the 10,000m is entering the closest stages. Luvo Manyonga, the

:56:16. > :56:18.24-year-old South African. 8.16 in the first round, two fouls since

:56:19. > :56:25.then, is in fifth place behind the two Americans. Rutherford all ahead

:56:26. > :56:32.of him. Chasing down that lead and that's a big jump for Manyonga!

:56:33. > :56:36.Well, we didn't expect him to challenge for medals but it looks as

:56:37. > :56:41.though in the latter stages - we're into the second half of this men's

:56:42. > :56:45.long jump final and at the moment, it's Lawson's lead of 8.25m that's

:56:46. > :56:55.being challenged by the South African. It's 8.28m! Manyonga of

:56:56. > :57:01.South Africa goes into the lead! It's Ethiopia who are taking on Mo

:57:02. > :57:07.Farah here. Another 62-second lap from Demelash. Tola there for

:57:08. > :57:12.support. Only Paul Tanui of the Kenyans looking like he's any chance

:57:13. > :57:17.of hanging with this. Mo Farah, Cheptegei, Galen Rupp. Geoffrey

:57:18. > :57:20.Kamworor's medal quest looks to be disappearing as he loses touch with

:57:21. > :57:25.this group. Now whittling quickly down to five and Galen Rupp of the

:57:26. > :57:30.USA hanging on to Mo Farah, hanging on to the two Ethiopians and the

:57:31. > :57:34.Kenyan and Farah realises the danger is not from Kenya. It's from

:57:35. > :57:38.Ethiopia. It certainly is. The Kenyan threat, the Kenyan challenge

:57:39. > :57:41.to run the finish out of Mo Farah certainly hasn't happened. Geoffrey

:57:42. > :57:47.Kamworor wasn't very welcoming into the race and clearly he isn't abling

:57:48. > :57:51.to do it. Now it's Tanui, Mo Farah, Tola, Demelash and behind Mo Farah

:57:52. > :57:55.is Galen Rupp. Now Mo has got to be careful now. Three laps to go. This

:57:56. > :57:58.is winnable for Mo Farah from this point.

:57:59. > :58:02.He's been stretched a little in the last few laps but Mo has got the

:58:03. > :58:05.ability, he's got the stamina, he's got the speed of the finish and now

:58:06. > :58:09.it's a case of positioning yourself, Mo. Just get yourself ready, don't

:58:10. > :58:13.give any more chances. We don't want any more spills. We don't want any

:58:14. > :58:16.more accidents and from here, the reigning Olympic Champion is in a

:58:17. > :58:21.position where he's dreamt about being. Coming up to 1,000m, the pace

:58:22. > :58:25.has not been excessive. It's been powerful in the latter stages.

:58:26. > :58:31.Looking over his shoulder, moves alongside the leader and for the

:58:32. > :58:34.first time, Mo at the serious end of the race is now in control. He's in

:58:35. > :58:38.the lead. He's got Tanui for company. He's got Tola or to

:58:39. > :58:42.company. He's got his team-mate in America, Galen Rupp, for company,

:58:43. > :58:46.and Demelash of Ethiopia, but there's no great champions in there

:58:47. > :58:52.apart from Mo Farah. So now Mo concentrate on the race. Two laps to

:58:53. > :58:55.go for Mo Farah. Can he come and do what no British athlete has ever

:58:56. > :59:01.done before, by winning a third Olympic gold medal? Things are

:59:02. > :59:05.looking good for him. Another 62-second lap, Mo looking

:59:06. > :59:09.comfortable. A group of five, almost six athletes here. He's going to be

:59:10. > :59:14.attacked, not undoubtedly, but I'm sure he'll fend them off easily,

:59:15. > :59:17.atementding to win his eighth global -- attempting to win his eighth

:59:18. > :59:23.global gold medal. Mo Farah down the back straight with just over 600m to

:59:24. > :59:27.go. Tanui has a little look behind. We have two Ethiopians, demolish and

:59:28. > :59:30.-- Demelash and Tola. You can almost throw a blanket over the five of

:59:31. > :59:35.them here. Mo Farah, though, just wants to control this. We've been

:59:36. > :59:40.here before. We've seen this before. We know what happens from here. Now

:59:41. > :59:48.it's about determination. It's about Mo Farah. Don't give up the lead,

:59:49. > :59:53.Mo. Just hold them off if you can. He's got Tanui, who has been there

:59:54. > :59:56.before, Galen Rupp, silver medallist from London, Tola coming with the

:59:57. > :59:59.rush. Demelash looks to be in a little bit of trouble. Has Mo got

:00:00. > :00:04.the power? Has he got the strength? Has he got the speed to defend this

:00:05. > :00:07.title which the great ones have done before him? He's passing his

:00:08. > :00:12.team-mate on the outside, Andy Vernon but Mo has to try and hold

:00:13. > :00:15.off Tanui a second time. Gather yourself again, Mo. He's got to dig

:00:16. > :00:19.deep. Looking over his shoulder. That's not the thing to do. You've

:00:20. > :00:23.got to look ahead of yourself. Tanui going hard. Going as fast as he can.

:00:24. > :00:27.Mo Farah having to work hard. Tola is still there. There's danger here

:00:28. > :00:34.in front. There's danger behind. He has a look behind. He just checks

:00:35. > :00:38.what's there. Mo Farah attempting to retain his 10,000m Olympic title,

:00:39. > :00:44.Tanui is giving it everything but here comes Mo Farah. Mo Farah moves

:00:45. > :00:50.out and he opens those legs of his and he is sprinting away! They

:00:51. > :01:00.succumb to the inevitable! Bow to his superiority! Mo Farah wins the

:01:01. > :01:09.gold! Retapes his title! Makes history! Becomes the first British

:01:10. > :01:21.athlete to win three Olympic gold medals. The manner of his victory a

:01:22. > :01:26.familiar one but surely, surely for Mo Farah, this takes him into a

:01:27. > :01:35.place where not only he's never been, no British athlete has ever

:01:36. > :01:40.been, simply wonderful, wonderful distance running from Mo Farah. And,

:01:41. > :01:43.you know, he just has a little check of a graze on his shoulder and

:01:44. > :01:47.that's about as much damage as they could do to him, Brendan. We joked,

:01:48. > :01:51.didn't we - it's not a joke to say the only way he could lose this was

:01:52. > :01:57.to trip up and fall. Well, he tripped up and he fell and he still

:01:58. > :02:02.got up and he still won and he did it the way only Mo Farah can do.

:02:03. > :02:07.Impossible for them to beat him on that last lap. That was absolutely

:02:08. > :02:10.fantastic, you know, Steve. But the plan that we've read about and

:02:11. > :02:14.listened to the Kenyans talking about once again didn't unfold. And

:02:15. > :02:18.Mo was tested in the later stages of that race. That was a hard last lap,

:02:19. > :02:24.55 seconds for Mo Farah on the last lap. He ran the last mile in 4:03

:02:25. > :02:29.and that hurts, especially when you've run 21 laps before it. But

:02:30. > :02:34.that was a brilliant, billiant performance and we've waited. Seb

:02:35. > :02:38.Coe will be the first to congratulate him. Daley Thompson

:02:39. > :02:43.will be celebrating back home, the other athlete who won two gold

:02:44. > :02:46.medals but Mo has turned two Olympic gold medals into a third, the first

:02:47. > :02:50.British athlete ever to win three Olympic gold medals and what a

:02:51. > :02:54.pleasure it's been watching him on his journey, supporting him on his

:02:55. > :02:59.journey and the races, well, he runs them to perfection. Every point in

:03:00. > :03:04.that race he was in the right place. He's tired and I'm not surprised.

:03:05. > :03:08.That's a hard way to do it. That last lap, 55 seconds. And that tells

:03:09. > :03:14.you that Mo Farah couldn't run much faster than that which means he was

:03:15. > :03:19.under pressure and well done to Tanui of Kenya, who gave him a race

:03:20. > :03:24.tonight. You know, Brendan, just looking at

:03:25. > :03:27.the stats, Mark Butler just said 13.12 for the second five there and

:03:28. > :03:30.the differential between the winning time - it's almost the same as

:03:31. > :03:33.Beijing last year but the differential is greater than it was

:03:34. > :03:38.last year between the first five and the second five. His last lap was

:03:39. > :03:43.slower. I know Mo, I think Mo thinks if he runs 53 for the last lap, he

:03:44. > :03:50.wins. That was a hard 55 on the last lap. It was a hard 55 Steve but if

:03:51. > :03:51.you're running 4.3 for the mile leading up to it, you've got to be

:03:52. > :03:52.. Hurdling. He's struggling to do the

:03:53. > :04:03.MoBo there but what a joy tonight, every single point of the

:04:04. > :04:05.race, Mo Farah was doing absolutely the right thing and only the fall

:04:06. > :04:06.gave us gave us the doubt

:04:07. > :04:07.Later on, gave us the doubt and later on he

:04:08. > :04:08.Later on, he started using his started using his hands and his

:04:09. > :04:09.Later on, he started using his hands elbows to keep himself

:04:10. > :04:09.Later on, he started using his hands elbows to keep himself in

:04:10. > :04:09.Later on, he started using his hands to get

:04:10. > :04:10.Later on, he started using his hands elbows to keep himself in that

:04:11. > :04:10.Later on, he started using his hands to get him in that

:04:11. > :04:10.elbows to keep himself in that position,

:04:11. > :04:12.elbows to keep himself in that to get him in that position.

:04:13. > :04:14.elbows to keep himself in that position, but Mo Farah, Olympic

:04:15. > :04:15.Champion, defending the position, but Mo Farah, Olympic

:04:16. > :04:16.to get him in that position. The Olympic champion, defending the

:04:17. > :04:16.to get him in that position. The Champion, defending the title,

:04:17. > :04:16.Olympic champion, defending the title.

:04:17. > :04:18.Olympic champion, defending the Champion, defending the title, just

:04:19. > :04:30.like the great ones have done before. Haile Gebrselassie won this

:04:31. > :04:32.twice as well as four other athletes. Mo's list of people he's

:04:33. > :04:33.The list he has joined is the joined is the history

:04:34. > :04:33.The list he has joined is the joined is the history of

:04:34. > :04:34.The list he has joined is the joined is the history of distance

:04:35. > :04:34.The list he has joined is the history of long-distance running.

:04:35. > :04:41.joined is the history of distance running, the great ones are on the

:04:42. > :04:44.list and now Mo Farah joins them. The greatest distance runners of all

:04:45. > :04:49.time, he's keeping them company. Steve, it wasn't many years ago when

:04:50. > :04:52.Mo Farah said, "Could I run a race against Haile Gebrselassie to see

:04:53. > :04:57.how good he is?" And he's done it and joined Haile. He's got more

:04:58. > :05:02.Olympic gold medals than Haile Gebrselassie.

:05:03. > :05:07.Well, from a man who has won his gold, what about Greg Rutherford?

:05:08. > :05:12.Yeah, it is turning into super-Saturday, the sequel and Greg

:05:13. > :05:16.Rutherford, you may have seen in the back of shot during that wonderful

:05:17. > :05:23.race, did this. It was a large jump, may have taken

:05:24. > :05:27.the lead but it was a marginal foul. In fact, did it look long enough to

:05:28. > :05:31.have taken the lead should it have been valid. It was a tiny nick of

:05:32. > :05:35.the Plasticine. He went over and had a look just to check that the

:05:36. > :05:49.officials were doing their work correctly. Shame.

:05:50. > :05:54.But we do have two jumps remaining. So that happened during the race.

:05:55. > :06:03.We're back live in the fifth round very soon.

:06:04. > :06:11.It wasn't measured. Maybe some drama there. We're back live now.

:06:12. > :06:29.He's in the lead, the young man from South Africa.

:06:30. > :06:34.What's he done here? It looks like as though he's extended his lead.

:06:35. > :06:38.It looks like a jump in excess of 8:30 in Round 5. I was about to say

:06:39. > :06:52.they're the kind of distances where anyone in this final could pop up

:06:53. > :06:59.and win. Possibly one hand on the gate way --

:07:00. > :07:03.one hand on the gold medal. This-man has already done it in the

:07:04. > :07:09.10,000 am. He's utterly exhausted. He had to dig deep and we will hear

:07:10. > :07:16.from him shortly. We're going to have to divip out of

:07:17. > :07:31.the track and field. This is the 50m freestyle.

:07:32. > :07:35.Women's 50m final. They're all they're. This is the --

:07:36. > :07:40.here. This is the final we wanted. The Campbell sisters are here. The

:07:41. > :07:44.World Champion is here. The defending Olympic Champion is

:07:45. > :07:50.here. Fran Halsall is three lanes from the

:07:51. > :07:59.bottom in the red cap. The final of the women's 50m freestyle in Rio.

:08:00. > :08:05.They've been focusing on this for four years. She's had a good start.

:08:06. > :08:11.Also a good start is the defending Olympic Champion. Kromowidjojo is in

:08:12. > :08:15.lane three. Fran is in about first position. She's closest to us. She's

:08:16. > :08:20.going well. She needs to finish now! She needs to really finish down the

:08:21. > :08:32.last five metres! Fran hall sal is going well. It is, in lane four,

:08:33. > :08:38.Pernille Blume of Denmark. Simone Manuel gets second and the

:08:39. > :08:41.bronze to Herasimenia of Belarus. Fran hall sal is in fourth. Oh, my

:08:42. > :08:46.word. That was close. Flipping heck! Halsall is in fourth.

:08:47. > :09:01.Oh, my word. That was close. Flipping heck! Fran look like she

:09:02. > :09:06.had it down to 45m. Fran Halsall missed a gold by 0.06

:09:07. > :09:15.seconds. She missed gold and she's fourth. Oh, Fran! So great start

:09:16. > :09:19.with determination for Blume. She's not put a foot wrong. She was well

:09:20. > :09:24.down, left of the yellow lanes. Kromowidjojo was out like a rocket.

:09:25. > :09:31.Fran is leading at this point, 50m to go. -- 15m to go. At this point,

:09:32. > :09:34.Manuel in seven looked like going in first and Blume got the fingertip

:09:35. > :09:40.touch and she just can't believe it. From the minute she saw her name,

:09:41. > :09:50.with the number one and Kromowidjojo congratulating her.

:09:51. > :09:57.Well, back inside the athletics stadium and Mo Farah has finally

:09:58. > :10:02.found his wife, Tanya, and his daughter, Rihanna. They've travelled

:10:03. > :10:05.here. The other children are at home, hopefully watching and we'll

:10:06. > :10:09.get a huge reaction, I'm sure, from Mo a little bit later on. First,

:10:10. > :10:24.we'll catch up with the long jump competition and Steve Backley.

:10:25. > :10:27.She is capable of taking this from South African.

:10:28. > :10:27.She is capable of taking this from the South

:10:28. > :10:28.South African. 8.37

:10:29. > :10:28.South African. the South African.

:10:29. > :10:29.South African. 8.37 leads the Olympic final.

:10:30. > :10:30.South African. the South African. Third place at

:10:31. > :10:31.the moment. 8.37 leads the Olympic final.

:10:32. > :10:32.Rutherford is in 8.37 leads the Olympic final.

:10:33. > :10:32.the moment. Is 8.37 leads the Olympic final.

:10:33. > :10:32.Rutherford is in third place 8.37 leads the Olympic final.

:10:33. > :10:32.the moment. Is going 8.37 leads the Olympic final.

:10:33. > :10:32.Rutherford is in third place at 8.37 leads the Olympic final.

:10:33. > :10:33.the moment. Is going be 8.37 leads the Olympic final.

:10:34. > :11:03.Rutherford is in third place at the the moment. Is going be measured?

:11:04. > :11:15.His second-best jump means he goes into silver medal place. This is

:11:16. > :11:19.drama. Rutherford out of the medals having been in the lead earlier in

:11:20. > :11:31.the competition. What can he do about it? He worked for that, didn't

:11:32. > :11:37.he? I don't like the look of that. I would like to have seen something to

:11:38. > :11:42.give us confidence that he would go beat in the last round. I'm sure she

:11:43. > :11:53.will gather all of the optimism he can. With one jump remaining, it is

:11:54. > :12:08.the South African out in front. The two Americans still in fourth place.

:12:09. > :12:19.This is where he was tripped. He got up quickly. What ever that did to

:12:20. > :12:24.his nerves, he settled. When she was falling, he was already getting

:12:25. > :12:37.ready to get up. There he is on the last lap. Paulton early next to him.

:12:38. > :12:45.-- Paul Tenui. He was looking again and looking carefully. Tenui is

:12:46. > :12:50.stretching and running strongly. But he is not going to give it up

:12:51. > :13:02.easily. He will never do that. The one thing about Mo Farah, he will

:13:03. > :13:14.always give 100%. He gets a few yards, but look again. Mo Farah

:13:15. > :13:23.comes home. His third gold medal for the great man. One of the great

:13:24. > :13:31.names of all time. We are now looking at the great Mo Farah. On

:13:32. > :13:37.the Olympic stage for the third time, celebrating how he has

:13:38. > :13:43.developed over the years. That was a hard lap. He found it hard, I'm

:13:44. > :13:48.sure. But he looked over his shoulder and there was nothing

:13:49. > :13:53.coming. And he is celebrating. What a delight to see. What a great

:13:54. > :13:58.athlete, what a great guy, and what a journey he has been on. And that's

:13:59. > :14:08.it, Mo Farah, you can relax now. Three gold medals is more than any

:14:09. > :14:16.Britain has had before. -- Briton. What a moment for Mo Farah. Not that

:14:17. > :14:21.long ago, he was desperately trying to find his wife, and eventually he

:14:22. > :14:27.did. We will be speaking to him shortly. At first, the action

:14:28. > :14:41.continues thick and fast. Michael Rimmer going for Great Britain. The

:14:42. > :14:45.semifinal of the 800 metres. We'll be interested to see how he

:14:46. > :14:59.performs, he has been unwell in the village. That is not surprising, out

:15:00. > :15:04.the front, you can see the tall figure, Arroyo was impressive and

:15:05. > :15:11.qualification. It really is a tough one. A very hard one for Michael

:15:12. > :15:15.Rimmer. He is going to have to be at his very best tonight. If he isn't,

:15:16. > :15:28.he is certainly not going to go through. The Olympic 1500 metre

:15:29. > :15:33.champion, and there is Lewandowski down the back straight. I think they

:15:34. > :15:43.are going too fast for Michael Rimmer. Lewandowski trying to get

:15:44. > :15:49.there. Michael Rimmer struggling, as we thought he might do. The 50 out

:15:50. > :15:54.amid a specialist is looking incredibly strong here. Stretching

:15:55. > :15:57.away. Good for the Olympics. Good for second here. The others will be

:15:58. > :16:17.chasing. That is quick! Michael Rimmer was always going to

:16:18. > :16:23.find that tough even if he was 100%. The 1500 metre specialist made the

:16:24. > :16:29.right move down the back straight. Boss is running well. But Michael

:16:30. > :16:34.hasn't been feeling too well. It is a shame. He has had so many injury

:16:35. > :16:41.problems which he has overcome and he is in pretty good shape, so it is

:16:42. > :16:48.unfortunate. Sadly, that is the end of his Olympic campaign. It is a

:16:49. > :16:53.shame, but the feeling he had today in the semifinal was outstanding.

:16:54. > :17:06.The Clutha, looking strong, looking outstanding -- McCluthy. Look at him

:17:07. > :17:15.go. Now they are raising the second, third, and fourth place. -- racing.

:17:16. > :17:20.You can see the timing on that one and it is the two fastest to go

:17:21. > :17:35.through. Take a breath. Henderson does

:17:36. > :17:39.exactly that in preparation for his final jump of this men's long jump

:17:40. > :17:46.competition. It has been an enthralling competition. Greg

:17:47. > :17:53.Rutherford was in the lead. Now he has been pushed down to fourth

:17:54. > :18:03.place. One jump remaining. We have seen Manning Unger, the eventually

:18:04. > :18:09.that, with a foul. -- the event leader. His event is over, which

:18:10. > :18:16.means, in some ways, she is a bit of a sitting duck, as he has no way of

:18:17. > :18:20.responding to anything others do. His previous attempt was excellent.

:18:21. > :18:27.Apart from the landing. If he gets it right, would be surprised if this

:18:28. > :18:33.man goes into the lead. What is his temperament like? We are about to

:18:34. > :18:40.find out. The most important moment of his competitive career. Jed

:18:41. > :18:51.Anderson. An unusual preparation. -- Jeff. Henderson in the bronze medal

:18:52. > :19:03.position. He has done a! -- it! The flag was raised. No surprise there.

:19:04. > :19:12.An acknowledgement from Manionga, he can be lifted from this. Henderson

:19:13. > :19:23.has just jumped 8.38. She is in the lead. Unbelievable jump. -- he. One

:19:24. > :19:32.of the best competitive efforts we have seen, in the last efforts, the

:19:33. > :19:47.closing efforts. Manionga down into second place. But it is not over.

:19:48. > :19:53.Just give you the context the distances, it is something

:19:54. > :19:59.Rutherford is capable of, but he needs to produce the jump of his

:20:00. > :20:06.life. No wind to speak of. What a moment this is. We have seen Mo

:20:07. > :20:13.Farah take the gold in the 10,000 metres. His teammates, Jessica Ennis

:20:14. > :20:23.Hill is going to have to fight hard. -- teammate. But back to this. A

:20:24. > :20:30.tense, tense moment for Greg Rutherford. Support from the crowd

:20:31. > :20:37.here. Rutherford in fourth place. Aged 22, to remind you, just 16

:20:38. > :20:55.centimetres behind the lead -- 8.22. Rutherford can chase him down. It is

:20:56. > :20:57.a white flag! Greg Rutherford may well have produced the jump of his

:20:58. > :21:06.Oh, my word, it's 8.29. It does take life. Oh my word. 829. -- 8.29.

:21:07. > :21:07.Oh, my word, it's 8.29. It does take him into the medals.

:21:08. > :21:07.Oh, my word, it's 8.29. It does take life. Oh my word. 829. -- 8.29. It

:21:08. > :21:07.does life. Oh my word. 829. -- 8.29. It

:21:08. > :21:07.him into the medals. He's life. Oh my word. 829. -- 8.29. It

:21:08. > :21:08.does take life. Oh my word. 829. -- 8.29. It

:21:09. > :21:17.him into the medals. He's in third place.

:21:18. > :21:30.We've got Jarrion Lawson, the American, to jump yet.

:21:31. > :21:39.Lawson is the man who was in the bronze medal position before that

:21:40. > :21:46.jump of Rutherford. So it's all changing.

:21:47. > :21:50.What a competition and Jarrion Lawson won the one, the two and the

:21:51. > :22:02.long jump, something Jesse Owens did in the US collegiate championships.

:22:03. > :22:09.He's so talented. Has he done it? He may have jumped a

:22:10. > :22:13.gold medal jump in the final jump of the competition which may also push

:22:14. > :22:16.Rutherford out of the medals. Oh! This has turned into one of the

:22:17. > :22:23.greatest long jump competitions ever, maybe not in terms of distance

:22:24. > :22:28.but in terms of who is going to get what and how and when, two fouls

:22:29. > :22:34.previous. Rutherford has walked off shakings his head. Henderson can't

:22:35. > :22:39.watch. Has hand dropped back into the

:22:40. > :22:50.sand... Well, I was going to say I thought I saw a hand in the sand.

:22:51. > :22:56.He's not happy, is he? The coaches are in. He's not having it, is he?

:22:57. > :23:01.His left hand dragged into the hand. It's hard to tell often such speed.

:23:02. > :23:05.If we can see it in slow mation, we may well see what the officials have

:23:06. > :23:07.measured. It's good news for Greg Rutherford if it stands of course

:23:08. > :23:15.because he comes away with something, maybe not quite what he

:23:16. > :23:25.would have wanted. Hend hend is already celebrating.

:23:26. > :23:28.He says "it's gold". Well, what an end to that competition. Lawson

:23:29. > :23:32.looks as though he doesn't believe it, does he? The coach is not having

:23:33. > :23:35.it. They're going to have to back down here, I think. I think when

:23:36. > :23:40.they see it on video, they might just see... Let's have a look at.

:23:41. > :23:45.This so his legs are not what we're looking at. It's his left hand. It's

:23:46. > :23:50.scuffed just below the eight metres mark which was what it was measured

:23:51. > :23:54.at and Lawson now knows the crowd knows because it's on the screen and

:23:55. > :23:59.Greg Rutherford knows also that he's come away and, do you know what?

:24:00. > :24:06.That was a decent effort from Rutherford. He didn't look great in

:24:07. > :24:13.qualification yesterday and he's earned himself a bronze medal.

:24:14. > :24:18.So it looks as though season's best has come up. I'm not sure if it that

:24:19. > :24:23.is the case because he jumped 8.58m to take the US title. Good throw

:24:24. > :24:28.from Dan Pfaff. I think the flag went over Greg's head. Here we go.

:24:29. > :24:32.So this is Lawson, who is in fourth. Remember he's chasing down the lead.

:24:33. > :24:37.His feet and body are over but the left hand scuffs on the far side of

:24:38. > :24:42.the sand pit there. It flicked the sand is and that is

:24:43. > :24:47.where they're measuring back to. Greg Rutherford consoling or

:24:48. > :24:54.gloating, I'm not sure which. Well... Wonderful drama. Brilliant

:24:55. > :24:59.competition. We might just see this again. Let's see this front on. So

:25:00. > :25:05.that's Lawson taking off. Watch his left hand, so the right side of the

:25:06. > :25:10.screen. It drops low. His feet are ahead of where he needs to be. His

:25:11. > :25:15.knuckles, his happened, just scuffs the sand. And he's not... He can't

:25:16. > :25:24.argue with that, can he? Once the coaches saw that, they backed down.

:25:25. > :25:28.He wouldn't maybe have felt that but Rutherford, a bronze medal, and a

:25:29. > :25:36.brilliant effort and a good performance.

:25:37. > :25:38.What an amazing night inside the Olympic Stadium, an amazing

:25:39. > :25:49.competition in the long jump already for the secretary of three

:25:50. > :25:53.semifinals in the men's 800m. A great competition, so much more to

:25:54. > :26:10.come. This is the line-up for the second semifinal.

:26:11. > :26:15.Alfred Kipketer we've got the 800m and the heptathlon to come, the

:26:16. > :26:20.denument of that. That is Andreas Bube of Denmark. You

:26:21. > :26:27.saw Reinhardt van Rensburg of South Africa. Then Alfred kip keetder, the

:26:28. > :26:34.19-year-old, winner -- Kipketer. Then Boris Beran. Brandon McBride is

:26:35. > :26:42.outside Beran. They both like to front run.

:26:43. > :26:48.Mohammed Aman there, Hafhat from Algeria and Tuka. Two to go through

:26:49. > :26:55.and the two fastest losers so this has to be pacey as well. We talk

:26:56. > :27:01.about him and if he finishes strongly and he likes to, he may be

:27:02. > :27:05.a factor. But McBraid and -- McBride and Berian like to control the race.

:27:06. > :27:09.Kipketer is not having any of that right now. They've won extremely

:27:10. > :27:15.quickly in the first 200m. They're going after it and it really is a

:27:16. > :27:20.bit aggressive by Kipketer. Beran likes to be a frontrunner and Aman

:27:21. > :27:25.is taking closer order. They're going too fast and Tuka, sheltering

:27:26. > :27:32.away from it is going a more conservative pace and judging it

:27:33. > :27:36.well, moving through nicely on to the shoulder of the leader. It's a

:27:37. > :27:40.fast opening lap but it's so cut-throat, the semifinal, you've

:27:41. > :27:45.got to do something like that. It's Kipketer at the moment from

:27:46. > :27:57.Brandon McBride and then it's van Rensburg. He's trying to hold off

:27:58. > :28:01.the powerful American and Rinehart is there, Tuka is getting himself in

:28:02. > :28:05.a position for a fast finish but is it in his legs this season? Einhardt

:28:06. > :28:08.is there, Tuka is getting himself in a position for a fast finish but is

:28:09. > :28:11.it in his legs this season? Two to go through automatically. Tuka is on

:28:12. > :28:15.the shoulder of the Canadian at the moment.

:28:16. > :28:22.Hathat is looking good too. They're separating themselves. He --

:28:23. > :28:27.Hathat is trying to get up. Kipketer and Boris Beran are the automatic

:28:28. > :28:32.qualifiers. A little slap of celebration from Boris Beran who

:28:33. > :28:38.goes through but Kipketer, the two men who finished in front took it

:28:39. > :28:42.out and controlled the race. They had the strength to hold on. They

:28:43. > :28:46.certainly did. They were almost racing from the front step. Kipketer

:28:47. > :28:52.moving it along all the way, Berian wanting to get past him and Aman is

:28:53. > :28:56.run out of it completely. The World Champion of a few years ago doesn't

:28:57. > :28:59.make it through but Berian, I feel as though he wanted to be in the

:29:00. > :29:07.lead. Kipketer is working hard. He's making them work for it. He's

:29:08. > :29:10.stretching them all the way. Here they come into the straight. They're

:29:11. > :29:15.racing every step of the way. Kipketer wants to win it. Berian is

:29:16. > :29:19.trying to close down on hem and Hathat coming through quickly as the

:29:20. > :29:23.athletes who followed the pace are fading away because it was so quick.

:29:24. > :29:27.50 seconds for the first lap, 54 seconds for the second lap but the

:29:28. > :29:31.winner of the Kenyan trials it at the 800m will always be a danger at

:29:32. > :29:37.the Olympic Games and Kipketer is exactly that. He's going to be a

:29:38. > :29:41.danger in the final. His fellow country MEP might go through despite

:29:42. > :29:47.being one of the losest in the first heat. He may still be quick enough.

:29:48. > :29:53.Nobody outside the top two in this heat will go through so no good news

:29:54. > :29:58.for Yassine Hathat from Algeria in third place. But Kipketer and Boris

:29:59. > :30:00.Berian safely through to Monday's final. Confirmation of the

:30:01. > :30:16.result: We've still got the climax of the

:30:17. > :30:20.heptathlon, this is Nafissatou Thiam throwing the javelin. The

:30:21. > :30:26.penultimate event. It's 53m to extend her lead.

:30:27. > :30:30.And tee up what is going to be an enthralling two-lap race. A glimpse

:30:31. > :30:35.of Jessica Ennis-Hill there, the reigning champion. And these are the

:30:36. > :30:40.standings as a result. Of what happened in that javelin. Thiam

:30:41. > :30:45.extended her lead 142 points ahead of Jessica Ennis-Hill and we equate

:30:46. > :30:49.that to around 10 seconds and look what Katarina Johnson-Thompson's 36m

:30:50. > :30:53.did to her to go from third down to eight and Brianne Theisen-Eaton, the

:30:54. > :30:57.world leader, came back up into third place. Theisen-Eaton looks a

:30:58. > :30:59.likely bronze medallist. She's a decent 800m runner and

:31:00. > :31:04.Johnson-Thompson, well, she's going to have to run the race of her life,

:31:05. > :31:09.possibly something too much for her to get back into the medals. She'll

:31:10. > :31:23.need to catch up 10 seconds. It may be too much.

:31:24. > :31:32.We've already had one gold medal from Mo Farah, a little while ago

:31:33. > :31:36.now. Afterwards, he chatted to Phil. Well, Mo, congratulations. It was a

:31:37. > :31:39.fantastic performance. It looked really emotional for you at the end.

:31:40. > :31:45.Yeah, definitely. It was really emotional. Um... You know, like,

:31:46. > :31:49.some things you can't control what happens in a race. You know, when I

:31:50. > :31:54.went down, I hoped it didn't take a lot out of me. But I managed to get

:31:55. > :31:57.up quickly and try and think about how much I worked for this race and

:31:58. > :32:01.I wasn't going to let that go. How difficult was it? You rebounded

:32:02. > :32:04.pretty quickly, it seemed. Yeah, it was hard, just, you know, mentally,

:32:05. > :32:07.I think, when you go down, you get emotional and stuff and I had to

:32:08. > :32:12.pick myself back up and believe in myself and just work through and

:32:13. > :32:15.then at the end when I crossed the line, just got really emotional

:32:16. > :32:19.because, you know, what goes in... You know, you can't imagine how hard

:32:20. > :32:27.you work for it and in one moment, it's gone. We know how much hard

:32:28. > :32:31.work you put in, 120 miles a week, plus, the sacrifices you make,

:32:32. > :32:33.missing your family six months at a time in each year really that you're

:32:34. > :32:38.training. Does that ever go through your mind when you're in a race like

:32:39. > :32:42.that? Yeah, it does, yeah. And that's why I'm just definitely

:32:43. > :32:46.emotional now because I work hard and, you know, spend a lot of time

:32:47. > :32:51.away from my family and everything and, you know, that one moment could

:32:52. > :32:55.be gone, not in your control, so I just had to believe in myself and

:32:56. > :33:03.get through it, get through and, you know, I wanted to do it for my kids.

:33:04. > :33:09.IRAian hasn't not a medal. I wanted one for her. I need one more now for

:33:10. > :33:14.my little boy. I have to recover now, get time with my family and

:33:15. > :33:16.relax a bill bit. You've created history, the first athlete ever from

:33:17. > :33:21.Great Britain to women three gold medals. I know history means a lot

:33:22. > :33:25.to you, it's important to you. It's important, you know, to make my

:33:26. > :33:29.country proud and make history. It's every athlete's dream. I want to

:33:30. > :33:34.continue doing what I enjoy. This is what I enjoy. This is what I'm good

:33:35. > :33:38.at. I enjoy what I do. You made the nation proud again tonight. Thank

:33:39. > :33:46.you Thank you, everyone, for your support. It's wonderful.

:33:47. > :33:50.Yeah, so, one down, one to go. No rest for the special one.

:33:51. > :33:56.Off to think about the 5,000m pretty soon, I think and from one special

:33:57. > :34:00.one to another, David Rudisha, who broke the world record, let's not

:34:01. > :34:06.forget. How could we, at the Olympic Games in London.

:34:07. > :34:11.As much as Mo Farah was one of the stars for us, David Rudisha almost

:34:12. > :34:14.stole the show, didn't he, with that frontrunning, superb performance. So

:34:15. > :34:18.is the defending champion but he just, this year, has had one or two

:34:19. > :34:28.races that haven't gone his way but he looked good in qualification.

:34:29. > :34:33.He's got one of his big treat her, Adam Kszczot and Souleiman of

:34:34. > :34:45.Djibouti and Clayton Murphy of the USA, Mark English for Ireland

:34:46. > :34:55.For once, Kszczot has gone off quickly. He might want to give

:34:56. > :35:02.Rudisha a reminder. He wants to stick close to him, which might not

:35:03. > :35:06.be something which I... I would like to see him do this more often, to be

:35:07. > :35:10.honest. He's taken up the position he always wants to be in,

:35:11. > :35:15.controlling from the front, Souleiman right next to him. But now

:35:16. > :35:20.he can't be overtaken. Kszczot is close up too and he accelerates.

:35:21. > :35:23.51.6 and now the great David Rudisha is obviously not in the shape that

:35:24. > :35:26.he was when he broke the world record in London. He's obviously

:35:27. > :35:30.going to be in a race today and hopefully in the final, but he's

:35:31. > :35:33.trying to do it in his way, which is to accelerate all the way now. Down

:35:34. > :35:37.the back straight, you can see him picking it up. You can see the

:35:38. > :35:41.athletes behind him, little gaps are growing and Kszczot there, once

:35:42. > :35:46.again, has got the response. Moving quickly on to the shoulder of David

:35:47. > :35:51.Rudisha but, as he does that, Rudisha goes faster.

:35:52. > :35:57.Rudisha picking it up, Clayton Murphy ran into a wall and had to

:35:58. > :36:01.squeeze through Souleiman. They both can finish quickly but it's Rudisha

:36:02. > :36:06.and Clayton Murphy running down Kszczot. Is Kszczot in danger of not

:36:07. > :36:11.going through? Clayton Murphy, great talent, 21 from the USA, second

:36:12. > :36:17.behind Rudisha, 1:43.89 and for Kszczot, that will be tight in terms

:36:18. > :36:28.of a fastest-loser spot, which currently is around 1:44.56. His

:36:29. > :36:33.team-mate, Lewandowski and Ferguson Cheruiyot f the first heat. I

:36:34. > :36:37.suspect Kszczot will not go through and that's now confirmed. He ran

:36:38. > :36:40.aggressively for once. He didn't wait and maybe he paid for that

:36:41. > :36:45.because Murphy ran the faster race. He probably won't do that again,

:36:46. > :36:49.Steve. Looking up at the screen, David Rudisha applying the extra

:36:50. > :36:52.pressure, lifting and running strongly all the way through. They

:36:53. > :36:59.say he's not as good as he was in 2012 but I tell you what, he's

:37:00. > :37:01.pretty good still. Clayton Murphy running an

:37:02. > :37:06.exceptional performance there, overtaking Kszczot in the finishing

:37:07. > :37:09.straight. Souleiman run out of it but David Rudisha, I tell you,

:37:10. > :37:14.anybody will have difficulty to beat him in the final. Kszczot fading

:37:15. > :37:20.away. Clayton Murphy running himself into the final but David Rudisha,

:37:21. > :37:27.the great man, proud and strong, and ready to defend his title and I'm

:37:28. > :37:31.pretty sure... Heia, he looked very good, didn't he? I wasn't sure

:37:32. > :37:35.coming to these Games but I think I've had my confidence restored in

:37:36. > :37:39.the great man and he's certainly looking full of confidence, full of

:37:40. > :37:44.running there, well done to Clayton Murphy. He had his head in his hands

:37:45. > :37:49.after the heats. He went through as the fastest loser, much better there

:37:50. > :37:55.and Kszczot misses out by 0.05 seconds in terms of going through as

:37:56. > :38:00.the fastest loser. We're not too far away from the

:38:01. > :38:05.final of the women's 100m and the women are going to be introduced in

:38:06. > :38:10.a rather exciting Jazzy style from the corner.

:38:11. > :38:14.Dry ice and all perhaps but building the excitement and atmosphere in the

:38:15. > :38:17.corner of the Olympic atmosphere for what should be an extraordinary

:38:18. > :38:29.final. The times in the semifinal, eight women, all eight women in this

:38:30. > :38:33.final ran below 11 seconds. They didn't do this for the 10,000m

:38:34. > :38:41.final although we would have been here for some time but eight women

:38:42. > :38:46.about to take to this arena. It's just gone past 10:30 at night

:38:47. > :38:54.in Rio de Janeiro and we may be set for one of the great women's 100m

:38:55. > :38:59.Olympic finals. Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be

:39:00. > :39:10.Christania Williams, the youngest in this final at 21, a personal best of

:39:11. > :39:18.10.94 in the semifinal. Then Marie-Josee tal yew. She's been

:39:19. > :39:25.so impressive this season. Tori Bowie comes out next of all.

:39:26. > :39:29.That's not the lane order I have but unless she sneaked ahead of Elaine

:39:30. > :39:47.Thompson. Tianna Bartoletta didn't make it. Michelle-Lee Ahye, whose

:39:48. > :39:58.finish is so very, very quick. English Gardner. Elaine Thompson,

:39:59. > :40:03.quickest in the semifinals, quickest in the world this year at 10.70 and

:40:04. > :40:07.the Jamaican champion. She may well be the woman to beat. Dafne

:40:08. > :40:18.Schippers, perhaps her better chance comes in the 200m but she certainly

:40:19. > :40:19.has a golden opportunity here. And here comes Shelly-Ann

:40:20. > :40:23.Fraser-Pryce. CHEERING

:40:24. > :40:26.Well, there were tears at the end of the semifinal, and she's rather

:40:27. > :40:30.gingerly stepping out on to the track. She's had a toe injury for

:40:31. > :40:34.most of the season but she looked so, so impressive in the semifinal

:40:35. > :40:42.and she's going for a third successive Olympic title.

:40:43. > :40:49.Those are the runners, the finalists for the women's 100m which is just a

:40:50. > :40:52.few minutes away. It gives us an opportunity, Michael and Denise, to

:40:53. > :40:59.look back at the semifinals earlier this evening.

:41:00. > :41:02.First of all, heat one of the semifinals, which featured Tori

:41:03. > :41:05.Bowie and you can see that now, Michael.

:41:06. > :41:09.Tori Bowie is just a very technical marvel. Not the best start there so

:41:10. > :41:14.I think there's a lot for her to do in the final but you can see her

:41:15. > :41:23.coming through at the end very, very quickly.

:41:24. > :41:26.Michelle-Lee Ahye from Trinidad and Tobago ran 10.90 in the

:41:27. > :41:34.preliminaries but struggled but coming together at the right time.

:41:35. > :41:38.Bowie will come out of the blocks quickly. She made a mistake in the

:41:39. > :41:41.semifinals, I think, but still ran 10.90 and I think she'll make an

:41:42. > :41:46.improvement up on that. So figure her to be possibly in the medals. In

:41:47. > :41:50.the second heat, we saw Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the reigning Olympic

:41:51. > :41:57.100m champion looking to do the treble. It was interesting to see

:41:58. > :42:00.her next to Dafne Schippers. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce always has a

:42:01. > :42:03.drament quick and quick start. Schippers trying to respond there,

:42:04. > :42:08.responded well. What we didn't see there and we saw in the replay was

:42:09. > :42:12.that Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce eased off with the last two metres and

:42:13. > :42:16.still managed to run 10.88, the same time we saw from tomorrow tomorrow

:42:17. > :42:19.tomorrow, who has the fastest time in the world. We know she's

:42:20. > :42:22.struggled with an injury but this is the Olympic final and it's an

:42:23. > :42:27.opportunity for her to come out and, for the fird time, win the 100m

:42:28. > :42:31.again so she'll give it everything she has. I think she's ready to go.

:42:32. > :42:35.We were wondering whether the tears were to do with the toe injury of

:42:36. > :42:39.this season or overcome with emotion as she's on the precipice of

:42:40. > :42:43.retaining the 100m for the third time. And Dafne Schippers,

:42:44. > :42:47.incredible transition from heptathlon. She had a fantastic

:42:48. > :42:52.World Championships last year in Beijing. She's run 10.90m again here

:42:53. > :42:55.in the semifinals but it was all out and very difficult for her. Tomorrow

:42:56. > :42:59.tomorrow tomorrow, I know you're a huge fan of this lady. The class of

:43:00. > :43:00.the field. She beat Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce at the Jamaican

:43:01. > :43:05.championships earlier this year. Look at that. This is textbook right

:43:06. > :43:09.here. Pulling away like a Usain Bolt.

:43:10. > :43:16.That's how good she is. So she knows that this is her race to lose and

:43:17. > :43:18.she will want to win this, away from her countrywoman Shelly-Ann

:43:19. > :43:21.Fraser-Pryce but that woman, Tori Bowie is very dangerous. Everyone is

:43:22. > :43:25.in the middle of the track. This will be fantastic. Let's enjoy T

:43:26. > :43:28.we're in a sea of brilliant athletics. Let's head down to our

:43:29. > :43:32.commentary team who are going to call this for you, Colin Jackson and

:43:33. > :43:35.Andrew Cotter. Well, English Gardner there but what

:43:36. > :43:41.a roar there was for Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. So often in the shadow

:43:42. > :43:44.of Usain Bolt that she is defending the two time Olympic championship.

:43:45. > :43:49.There is Dafne Schippers. Perhaps her better event is the 200m but

:43:50. > :43:53.once she gets going f she gets a good start, my goodness. Talk about

:43:54. > :43:57.eight of the athletes, all eight finalists went below 11 seconds in

:43:58. > :43:59.the semifinal. Six of them were separates by 0.02 second. Shelly-Ann

:44:00. > :44:03.Fraser-Pryce. She's looking to do what no woman

:44:04. > :44:05.athlete has done and win three successive individual Olympic

:44:06. > :44:11.titles. She won in Beijing. She won in London and here in the 100m,

:44:12. > :44:15.she's going for it again and in these moments, the psychological

:44:16. > :44:23.test as well of the sprint, who has the mental edge.

:44:24. > :44:28.The race will be won by fractions. Christania Williams, Marie-Josee

:44:29. > :44:32.Talou, tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow, Tori Bowie, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

:44:33. > :44:34.-- Alain Thompson, Tori Bowie, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, English

:44:35. > :44:40.Gardner, Michelle-Lee Ahye and Dafne Schippers on the outside.

:44:41. > :44:41.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce -- Alain Thompson, Tori Bowie, Shelly-Ann

:44:42. > :44:43.Fraser-Pryce, English Gardner, Michelle-Lee Ahye and Dafne

:44:44. > :44:47.Schippers on the outside. The final of the woman's 100m.

:44:48. > :44:50.They're cleanly away and a roar from the crowd and Shelly-Ann

:44:51. > :44:52.Fraser-Pryce is heading them off but Elaine Thompson. Elaine Thompson in

:44:53. > :44:56.front and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce trying to get there but she won't!

:44:57. > :45:02.It's tomorrow tomorrow's gold! Bowie gets second! 10.72 and a roar from

:45:03. > :45:09.Elaine Thompson! Who has Olympic gold! And it passes from Shelly-Ann

:45:10. > :45:14.Fraser-Pryce to Elaine Thompson, but it stays firmly in Jamaican hands

:45:15. > :45:21.and she won it by a distance in the end! What a prun from Elaine

:45:22. > :45:24.Thompson! Round it down to 10.71. The Olympic Champion! Not to be a

:45:25. > :45:31.hat-trick for Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Tori Bowie came

:45:32. > :45:33.through for silver. There is a medal for price price price. -- for

:45:34. > :45:41.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. It is bronze. It was a great run from her

:45:42. > :45:48.but gold goes to Elaine Thompson. What a magnificent run by this

:45:49. > :45:52.Jamaican woman. From Manchester, not England, but Jamaica. Elaine

:45:53. > :45:58.Thompson trains with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, so they know each

:45:59. > :46:02.other very well indeed. She was dominant at the Jamaican

:46:03. > :46:08.Championships where she equalled the Jamaican record of 10.70. Here she'd

:46:09. > :46:12.run 10.71, an incredible piece of running, very disciplined in her

:46:13. > :46:15.running and the way she approached this whole race, technically, held

:46:16. > :46:20.her form all the way and had no pressure whatsoever. She felt

:46:21. > :46:24.herself easing away from this pack, around 40m, 50m, where she could

:46:25. > :46:29.just get into that beautiful lopg stride of hers which took her clean

:46:30. > :46:33.into that gold, a well deserved gold medal by her. Well, Valerie Adams

:46:34. > :46:37.tried and now Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has tried to win three

:46:38. > :46:41.successive gold medals at three Olympics and hasn't quite done it

:46:42. > :46:44.but there is a bronze medal for her and it is a Jamaican first and third

:46:45. > :46:49.and in the middle there, Tori Bowie, silver medallist and a great race

:46:50. > :46:53.and looking down the times again, and Christania Williams had a few

:46:54. > :46:57.problems and she was well down the field, but seven from under 11

:46:58. > :47:02.seconds. I really was expecting a clean sweep

:47:03. > :47:05.of 11-second performances but as you said, Williams had a little few

:47:06. > :47:09.problems there. But what a great race that was behind Elaine

:47:10. > :47:13.Thompson, who would have thought that Dafne Schippers, all the good

:47:14. > :47:25.running she's done all this season, would be down in fifth place.

:47:26. > :47:30.Here's the race in lane four. Just eases up, beautiful running,

:47:31. > :47:36.very smooth, very fluid and the title easily, doesn't she?

:47:37. > :47:39.Incredible? And so, so close for that bronze medal, actually, behind

:47:40. > :47:46.Elaine Thompson, Tori Bowie came through. Marie-Josee Talou has been

:47:47. > :47:50.run out of it by thousands of a -- thousandths of a second. Schippers

:47:51. > :47:52.is left with too much to do. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce always a

:47:53. > :47:56.great starter but Elaine Thompson, there's a gap there. That is

:47:57. > :48:00.handsome win. Tori Bowie coming through to take silver. Shelly-Ann

:48:01. > :48:06.Fraser-Pryce just gets a medal on the far side. Marie-Josee Talou just

:48:07. > :48:10.run out of it. But there is a gap there and that's an impressive win

:48:11. > :48:15.by Elaine Thompson. She's been strong. All the time,

:48:16. > :48:20.she's been brilliant to be honest and I'd be expecting her to go under

:48:21. > :48:25.that 10.7 mark soon enough. Look how smooth and fluent she is. It looks

:48:26. > :48:29.effortless. Look at everybody around her. She looks at so much ease,

:48:30. > :48:34.comfort in her running, great to see this and if she does run that 200m,

:48:35. > :48:41.what can we expect from this young lady? She was silver medallist

:48:42. > :48:46.behind Schippers but she wasn't sprinting the 100m as fast as this.

:48:47. > :48:51.Good to see. Right out in front, obviously, Elaine Thompson but

:48:52. > :48:56.English Gardner ran 10.94, the US champion, ran 10.94 and was down in

:48:57. > :49:01.seventh place. The calibre of that final, a final won by Elaine

:49:02. > :49:05.Thompson, the Olympic 100m champion, Tori Bowie, silver, Shelly-Ann

:49:06. > :49:09.Fraser-Pryce gives up her crown but a bronze medal but Jamaica still

:49:10. > :49:17.have it, Elaine Thompson the gold medallist.

:49:18. > :49:24.What a gripping competition. What was it like to be in the centre of

:49:25. > :49:28.it? Fantastic. Yeah, I was very pleased that I managed to pick

:49:29. > :49:31.myself up after yesterday. I put out a few half decent jumps. I found out

:49:32. > :49:35.at the end that the one they called a foul they gave me in the end so

:49:36. > :49:38.it's kind of frustrating. That probably would have put me back in

:49:39. > :49:42.the lead for a while. It's one of those things. I never thought in my

:49:43. > :49:49.career I'd be disappointed with a bronze medal but... I'm gutted.

:49:50. > :49:52.Oh... I suppose, you know, that's what makes you the great champion

:49:53. > :49:57.you are, you've got the full set of gold medals and it's not like, you

:49:58. > :50:01.know, it's one of those things that you're forever an Olympic Champion.

:50:02. > :50:05.You've not won the gold tonight but you've won a bronze and you're

:50:06. > :50:08.adding to your collection but understandably you're disappointed.

:50:09. > :50:14.Yeah. You set yourself high goals. Absolutely. Again, I feel like I'm

:50:15. > :50:17.in shape to jump very far and it's frustrating when you come out of

:50:18. > :50:23.something and don't feel you've done yourself justice. I didn't see

:50:24. > :50:26.anybody out there that was unbeatable tonight. I'm pleased that

:50:27. > :50:31.from a bad position, down in fourth, I managed, again to obviously come

:50:32. > :50:36.out and get myself a medal still but I came into these championships to

:50:37. > :50:40.win. I'm not here to finish third and it's very, frustrating. I gave

:50:41. > :50:45.it absolutely everything I could in that last round. I was desperate to

:50:46. > :50:51.fry and take it back and I felt I could. It just wasn't to be tonight.

:50:52. > :50:56.But... I guess two Olympic medals in a career isn't too bad. As I say, I

:50:57. > :51:00.really wanted it tonight. I really wanted to retain that title. And so

:51:01. > :51:03.when you think of, you know, in the moment, in the competition, in all

:51:04. > :51:09.the hard work you've put into it, what is going through your mind? Are

:51:10. > :51:13.you so focused on it? You know, are you thinking of family, friends, all

:51:14. > :51:17.the support team? Of course. For me it's always my family. I spend so

:51:18. > :51:20.much time away from them and that's difficult in itself and you want to

:51:21. > :51:25.go home and make them proud and everything else and, for me, as I

:51:26. > :51:29.say, I set myself up to try and win these things and then to not is

:51:30. > :51:33.very, very disappointing so, um, I know they would be proud anyway and

:51:34. > :51:37.they're a fantastic support team but... Yeah, I wanted it bring home

:51:38. > :51:40.that gold medal again today. We appreciate you talking to us and I'm

:51:41. > :51:44.sure, like you say, they're very proud of you.

:51:45. > :51:47.Thank you. I do appreciate it and thanks, everybody, who probably

:51:48. > :51:50.stayed up and had a party at my house. Sorry it wasn't a win. You'll

:51:51. > :51:55.have to settle for a medal I'm afraid. Thanks, Greg. Cheers. Thank

:51:56. > :51:59.you. Well, they saw what we saw which was a magnificent long jump

:52:00. > :52:03.competition, one of the greatest in a major championship for a while, so

:52:04. > :52:06.hotly contested, incredible performances across the board and he

:52:07. > :52:10.was part of something very special there.

:52:11. > :52:13.He's been so dominant for so long, Michael, that there was going to be

:52:14. > :52:17.a time that somebody got their A game together. Today was that day

:52:18. > :52:20.but absolutely nothing to be ashamed, embarrassed or upset about

:52:21. > :52:26.in terms of that performance. Of course not. You know, a bronze

:52:27. > :52:30.medal, a gold medal, and, you know, major medals at an Olympics, gold

:52:31. > :52:32.medals at World Championships. Greg has been fantastic over the last

:52:33. > :52:39.several years. No doubt about that. We knew that - and Greg was aware as

:52:40. > :52:43.well that the standard of the long jump in terms of the long jump over

:52:44. > :52:46.years has been fairly low. There's no doubt about that if you look at

:52:47. > :52:50.the results over the last several championships in comparison to

:52:51. > :52:54.championships in previous years. So there was going to come a time

:52:55. > :52:58.where someone was going to raise the standard and those guys did tonight.

:52:59. > :53:01.It was one of the most competitive long jump competitions I think I've

:53:02. > :53:05.ever seen and Greg was in there and he gave it his best and I'm sure

:53:06. > :53:09.that he's disappointed because es he knows, as Steve said, he could jump

:53:10. > :53:13.that, he could jump it, you know, he could produce a jump that could have

:53:14. > :53:16.put him on top. The foul did look like it was that big jump but it

:53:17. > :53:20.didn't get measured so it doesn't make any difference. And look, you

:53:21. > :53:22.know, the fact that Greg didn't, didn't really protest that means

:53:23. > :53:27.that he probably saw something we couldn't see on the screen and it

:53:28. > :53:30.probably was a foul but amazing competition and Greg, you know,

:53:31. > :53:34.should be proud of what he did. I'm sure that once he goes back and he's

:53:35. > :53:38.had some time to reflect on it, he'll be proud of it but as a true

:53:39. > :53:43.competitor right now, he's thinking he knows he's got that jump in him.

:53:44. > :53:46.I'm sure he's had it in practice and knows he could have produced it.

:53:47. > :53:51.He's feeling he's lost a gold, not that he's won a bronze. Exactly.

:53:52. > :53:57.Let's have a look at the jump that got him the bronze. It was his sixth

:53:58. > :54:02.jump, Denise and time after time he's pulled out a big jump when he

:54:03. > :54:06.needs it and this was for the medal. We're used to something competitive

:54:07. > :54:09.from Greg and this, for me, looked like it was going to challenge for

:54:10. > :54:14.the first position. I, um, you know... He's got to be hurting and

:54:15. > :54:17.you can see he's hurting because I didn't think it was a foul. I

:54:18. > :54:21.thought that was a good jump but interestingly, they didn't show the

:54:22. > :54:26.replay so it couldn't be a debate but, um, you know, 8.29m, he

:54:27. > :54:31.responded well. Oh, you've got to feel for him. I mean he's: He's...

:54:32. > :54:35.His response shows it all. And you did say, you know, there are men who

:54:36. > :54:38.have been putting big jumps out there in the competitions but not

:54:39. > :54:42.necessarily in the championships, in the Diamond League or other

:54:43. > :54:45.championships but then, of course, Henderson today got it together. He

:54:46. > :54:49.got it together at the right time. He's had the longest jump in the

:54:50. > :54:57.world this year. The Americans have been unbelievable in the long jump.

:54:58. > :55:00.Goodman, who wasn't even here, had the longest jump this year. These

:55:01. > :55:04.guys have been battling all along so they were mord, I think, ready to

:55:05. > :55:08.respond and have been used to having to come back and respond to big

:55:09. > :55:12.jumps and they did that today because the lead continued to

:55:13. > :55:16.change. Fantastic performance by Henderson. A great young long

:55:17. > :55:20.jumper. You see his reaction when he realised what he had done. Just

:55:21. > :55:23.fantastic performance. We were treated to something really, truly

:55:24. > :55:27.special with that long jump and I haven't seen a long jump like that

:55:28. > :55:30.over the last few years. Greg has come out, put out a big marker and

:55:31. > :55:33.the other guys couldn't catch up or respond so it was great to see

:55:34. > :55:38.today. He put out a big one at the beginning. The increments were so

:55:39. > :55:46.tiny. Exactly. That was fantastic for us to see. And the denouement

:55:47. > :55:49.was a fiasco. We jumped out our seat thinking we'd seen the winning jump

:55:50. > :55:54.and then ensued, Paula, all kinds of chaos here. Let's look at Lawson's

:55:55. > :55:59.jump which, on first viewing, you know, to the naked eye - and you can

:56:00. > :56:03.see why his coach didn't quite spot the hand. When you're looking for

:56:04. > :56:06.the hand, you see T When we're looking for it with the luxury of

:56:07. > :56:11.slow-motion replays, we can see it and you can see the mark he's made

:56:12. > :56:15.in the sand. His coach hasn't even seen it. Es wants him to go and

:56:16. > :56:18.protest it and I think it was Greg who went over and explained to the

:56:19. > :56:21.coach what had happened. You've got to feel for him, though, because he

:56:22. > :56:25.really has responded. He's #3u8d out a really, really big jump and he's

:56:26. > :56:33.-- he's pulled out a really, really big jump. He won't make the mistake

:56:34. > :56:36.again. It's a harsh lesson. Pulled out a really, really big jump and

:56:37. > :56:39.he's -- he's pulled out a really, really big jump. He won't make the

:56:40. > :56:41.mistake again. It's a harsh lesson. It was a messy landing. It's just

:56:42. > :56:44.unfortunate. You've jumped before, Denise, and you understand long

:56:45. > :56:48.jump, you know. If he doesn't get that hand back there, then maybe

:56:49. > :56:51.that jump isn't as long. You have to be aware of that as well. Once he

:56:52. > :56:55.tried to extend himself and tried to extend that jump, that brings that

:56:56. > :56:59.hand down there, so, um, unfortunately for him, you know, he

:57:00. > :57:03.was trying to go for it which was what he had to do and you go for it

:57:04. > :57:07.and that's what happens. By the way, behind us now is the first heat of

:57:08. > :57:11.the 800m for the women's heptathlon and these are the athletes very much

:57:12. > :57:15.out of medal contention. It's the last heat we're very interested in

:57:16. > :57:21.which has Nafissatou Thiam and Jessica Ennis-Hill. And that

:57:22. > :57:27.couldn't be more finely poised. It's 3.15. There's a ten-second between

:57:28. > :57:30.them in their PBs and ten-second difference between them in their

:57:31. > :57:33.points total. It's almost as if we write scripts for these things. It

:57:34. > :57:37.couldn't be a more dramatic way to end the evening here. Let's have a

:57:38. > :57:40.look at the South African athlete, Manyonga, who produced the early

:57:41. > :57:45.drama, didn't he? Flipping and flopping with Greg. He did and I

:57:46. > :57:48.think, you know, he was responding more so than anyone else throughout

:57:49. > :57:52.this entire competition, very, very quickly on the runway there and that

:57:53. > :57:58.was a massive jump. I mean it just looked big and we all kind of went

:57:59. > :58:02.whoa! That's the marker! And I said to Denise at that point, "That

:58:03. > :58:05.probably just won the competition." Boy was I wrong. Because there was

:58:06. > :58:09.movement after that. But then I think that Steve said it best as

:58:10. > :58:13.well. He was in a difficult position because of where he was in the

:58:14. > :58:19.line-up. Once he put it out there, he was a sitting duck and had to

:58:20. > :58:23.wait. If somebody put out something bigger, he couldn't respond. Someone

:58:24. > :58:27.did and he wasn't able to respond. But a fantastic compe particular for

:58:28. > :58:32.-- competition for him bringing home the silver. I have to say the

:58:33. > :58:35.distance was not big. Not talking Lewis and Powell. Absolutely but it

:58:36. > :58:39.was thrilling. Nip and tuck. The lead changing hands all the time.

:58:40. > :58:42.Just a great competition. We've had some fantastic field events so far

:58:43. > :58:48.in these championships and it's great that we managed to show that.

:58:49. > :58:53.We will be talking about Mo, of course, more shortly we heard one of

:58:54. > :58:57.the most raw, emotional interviews I've ever heard from him in any of

:58:58. > :59:00.his boast- -- post-gold performances but we're building up to the

:59:01. > :59:05.heptathlon, Paula, I know you want to talk about Mo and the fall, you

:59:06. > :59:09.know, talk about drama, but let's have a little look at the standings

:59:10. > :59:14.in the heptathlon. We'll also be dipping back out to the Aquatic

:59:15. > :59:17.Centre for the 4 x 100m medley relay which Great Britain's women have a

:59:18. > :59:24.good chance in. But here we go. This is what I'm talking about

:59:25. > :59:30.dethese: it's ten seconds difference in PBs for the 800m and ten seconds'

:59:31. > :59:36.worth of points difference. I've been in a similar situation to this

:59:37. > :59:39.before and that margin - it, it, it's looking like a lot but when

:59:40. > :59:43.you're running these two laps and you've got to keep tracking - that's

:59:44. > :59:46.what Thiam will be doing. She'll be tracking Jessica Ennis-Hill and

:59:47. > :59:51.praying she's got enough legs to keep the distance. Even if she runs

:59:52. > :59:56.to what she's done to this date in a PB, she will win by six points if

:59:57. > :00:01.Jess runs her PB. So is it time for a new PB for Jess? Well, you have to

:00:02. > :00:05.wait to see. It's going to be thrilling. Indeed. We'll be back

:00:06. > :00:09.very, very soon but we are going to the Aquatic Centre for the 4 x 100m

:00:10. > :00:15.medry relay. Great Britain's women are in lane eight with the

:00:16. > :00:28.distinctive red caps and it's Adrian Moorhouse and Andy Jamieson for you.

:00:29. > :00:38.Great Britain are in lane eat. Georgia Davies did a lifetime best

:00:39. > :00:42.this morning. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, silver

:00:43. > :00:46.medallist in the individual medley and then Fran Halsall is doing the

:00:47. > :00:52.anchor leg. It's difficult to see past Team USA in the centre for the

:00:53. > :01:01.gold. Kathleen Baker, a brilliant silver

:01:02. > :01:05.medal in the 1 00 individual. The swimmers start in the water and

:01:06. > :01:08.the tarter has been trying to control the crowd with the whistle

:01:09. > :01:11.to get them to calm down but in the last couple of events, they've been

:01:12. > :01:31.very noisy. The final final for the women's

:01:32. > :01:36.events in 2016 in Rio. There's quite a few of these backstrokers with a

:01:37. > :01:39.point of prove, not least of which is Emily Seebohm of Australia, only

:01:40. > :01:43.seventh on the individual and everyone thought she was going to

:01:44. > :01:47.win. In lane eight right at the bottom, Georgia Davies leading off

:01:48. > :01:53.well after a lifetime best in the heats. Seebohm is up in two. She had

:01:54. > :01:58.a terrible 59 swim in the individual and a lot better here. America out

:01:59. > :02:02.first. Can ga da within striking distance and there's all sorts to --

:02:03. > :02:05.Canada within striking distance and there's all sorts to play for here.

:02:06. > :02:11.The individual record could be broken.

:02:12. > :02:16.That's 58.12. Seebohm having a far better swim at the top. And really

:02:17. > :02:19.throwing the Italians off here. Very difficult for them to come back from

:02:20. > :02:25.this. So it's going to be Australia in first.

:02:26. > :02:33.So it is Australia - actually, it's not, it's Denmark first, 58.7 and

:02:34. > :02:40.going very well indeed will and now it is all in a line. Look at that -

:02:41. > :02:44.two, three, four and five, and Efimova charging in the pink suit of

:02:45. > :02:49.Russia but the Olympic Champion for Team USA in the centre in that black

:02:50. > :02:54.cap, Lilly King, really starting to show down the first 50m of the

:02:55. > :03:00.breast stroick. The Canadian in lane five is giving up 1.5 seconds to

:03:01. > :03:03.Lilly King and it's showing now. Ke. The Canadian in lane five is giving

:03:04. > :03:06.up 1.5 seconds to Lilly King and it's showing now. Pedersen didn't

:03:07. > :03:11.even make the final this year but she's going well in this. Efimova

:03:12. > :03:14.from the Russian Federation is down in lane six. She's pulled the

:03:15. > :03:18.Russian Federation almost into the lead and this is a surprise. Well,

:03:19. > :03:22.she's really going for it. Her stroke rate is very high indeed.

:03:23. > :03:28.She's caught up and overtaken Lilly King and there were a lot of verbals

:03:29. > :03:31.in the press conference afterwards when Lilly King said Efimova

:03:32. > :03:36.shouldn't be there. Russia now in the lead, second to the USA and

:03:37. > :03:40.that's a massive surprise after back and breast. Great leg for Great

:03:41. > :03:44.Britain and at the moment, Team Great Britain are in sixth. That was

:03:45. > :03:48.a great swim from Russia to bring it back and I'm not sure if the

:03:49. > :03:56.Americans expected it to be this close between the rest of the field

:03:57. > :04:04.and Dana Vollmer, probably the weakest of 9 legs. If I had to bet

:04:05. > :04:08.on anything, I'd say Vollmer is the weakest. The Russian Federation are

:04:09. > :04:11.trying to hang in there and the British team have dropped into

:04:12. > :04:14.seventh place. They have but they're swimming pretty well here. It's

:04:15. > :04:18.pretty close. The swimmer next to them is in second. Great Britain

:04:19. > :04:24.closer to us. So coming into the final leg of this final race of the

:04:25. > :04:29.women's programme and it is Team USA leading. Second is Denmark. Big

:04:30. > :04:34.surprise that, and third is Russia, but surely now this gold medal is

:04:35. > :04:38.going to go to the USA. Simone Manuel, the individual champion on

:04:39. > :04:42.the 100m freestyle, and she looks supreme here. She does but it's

:04:43. > :04:46.tighter than I thought it was. And look at China in lane seven.

:04:47. > :04:50.They're coming back. Silver and bronze could go anywhere. Blume is

:04:51. > :04:55.back in there for Denmark. Let's see what she can manage in the 100m.

:04:56. > :05:00.Australia still there. China. Denmark. It could even go to Canada.

:05:01. > :05:03.It really should go to Australia because Cate Campbell of Australia

:05:04. > :05:08.in the final leg for them is the world record #48der on this 100m

:05:09. > :05:14.freestyle and it's very, very tight for the silver. No doubt about gold.

:05:15. > :05:19.-Holder on this 100m freestyle and it's very, very tight for the

:05:20. > :05:26.silver. No doubt about gold. USA win the final race of the Olympic Games

:05:27. > :05:30.but it's gold to USA, it's silver to Australia and Cate Campbell finally

:05:31. > :05:34.coming through for them, 0.01 seconds ahead of Team Denmark. Great

:05:35. > :05:39.Britain in seventh. Well, we need to look at the results

:05:40. > :05:42.of that, I think. China is shown as touching fourth. I can't believe she

:05:43. > :05:47.came in fourth. She was in second place and unbelievable finish to

:05:48. > :05:51.that race. The Danish recording a further bronze medal and just

:05:52. > :05:55.pipping China by a tenth of a second. Breaking the European record

:05:56. > :05:58.and Australia a hundredth of a second ahead of Denmark. What a

:05:59. > :06:02.great race. I thought they'd get close to the world record but I want

:06:03. > :06:10.to see the replay of the finish. I do too! 18 100ths splitting second,

:06:11. > :06:16.third and fourth. This is the backstroke leg. It's just enough to

:06:17. > :06:21.see the splash. There's Georgia Davies down the bottom. I can't see

:06:22. > :06:29.the splits at the moment. Lilly King having a good race in the

:06:30. > :06:31.breaststroke, very strong. And then you've got...

:06:32. > :06:52.So 59.43. That was Georgia Davies's 100m. Klose Tutton - that's a good

:06:53. > :07:00.lane. Efimova 104.98.

:07:01. > :07:06.I did look at Georgia Davies's time. A great lead-off this morning.

:07:07. > :07:10.The last women's event, Team USA winning gold and winning it fairly

:07:11. > :07:15.comfortably but what a battle for silver, bronze and fourth, Australia

:07:16. > :07:21.winning the silver by 0.01 from Denmark and China in fourth.

:07:22. > :07:27.Coming up next in the Aquatic Centre is the men's 4 x 100m medley relay.

:07:28. > :07:30.Great Britain qualified fastest but USA have never lost when they've

:07:31. > :07:34.competed in a medley race. So you can see that on the red button right

:07:35. > :07:37.now but we will show you it later here on BBC One. But we're going to

:07:38. > :07:41.leave the Aquatic Centre for now. Go to the red button if you want to

:07:42. > :07:52.watch the men because we are getting ready for the final act of the

:07:53. > :07:55.heptathlon. It's the last heat of the 800m two gruelling, exhausting,

:07:56. > :08:00.mentally challenging days. It could not be tighter if I haven't

:08:01. > :08:04.expressed that enough. Ten seconds is the difference between the

:08:05. > :08:07.figures and the PBs of the two athletes at the moment.

:08:08. > :08:11.Nafissatou Thiam of Belgium and Jessica Ennis-Hill from Great

:08:12. > :08:16.Britain. Did you ever compete in a heptathlon this tight going into the

:08:17. > :08:21.800m? Yes, I did. Sydney and Atlanta were both tight races. I think it

:08:22. > :08:24.was actually sort of 57 eight-second differential between me and... I

:08:25. > :08:30.can't even remember the athlete! It's been such a long time. Listen

:08:31. > :08:34.to that. I'm old. She's watching now distraught that you can't remember

:08:35. > :08:38.her. It makes it thrilling. Obviously for us it's going to be

:08:39. > :08:44.anxious but Jess will know exactly what she's got to do, you know, and

:08:45. > :08:48.we expect her to go out hard. She'll have Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who

:08:49. > :08:52.will want to run and finish this off with her head held high that she's

:08:53. > :08:56.given it her all and she's a great 800m runner. They're pretty much the

:08:57. > :09:00.same PB. Will she use her a little bit? I don't know if she will

:09:01. > :09:05.intentionally. I think the fact that they can run about the same time,

:09:06. > :09:08.she may use that but Jess is such a professional, she is almost like a

:09:09. > :09:14.metronome. She will know what she needs to go through at 200m, what

:09:15. > :09:17.she needs to go through in 400m. That's what she will work off. She

:09:18. > :09:23.has great awareness of everything around her. Even if they hit their

:09:24. > :09:29.PBs and can produce that kind of performance, Thiam would win by six

:09:30. > :09:34.points. So we either need Thiam to go slower and Jess a bit quicker.

:09:35. > :09:39.Tell me, Paula, how aware you are of time in an 800m? How can you be

:09:40. > :09:44.aware of what you're doing and the pace you've got? There are big

:09:45. > :09:52.clocks all the way around. You can see... She'll be watching for the

:09:53. > :09:55.lap times and 200m, 200m and 600m she'll see that. Heptathletes race

:09:56. > :09:59.differently to the women's 800m we'll see later. Jess will go off

:10:00. > :10:03.hard and then try and hold on through that second lap and, yes,

:10:04. > :10:07.she will be able to work off the other women around her. There's a

:10:08. > :10:10.lot of times. I'm wondering if Kat will have frustration that she wants

:10:11. > :10:13.to work off. She would like to finish certainly on a personal best

:10:14. > :10:17.and that will help Jess but I think that Thiam is going to have the

:10:18. > :10:21.boost from coming into this, leading this and knowing that she's run PB,

:10:22. > :10:25.she's performed PBs so far through the heptathlon here. She'll want to

:10:26. > :10:29.go out and do that too. The mental game that's going to go on here as

:10:30. > :10:31.well, Michael. We know what a consummate performer and

:10:32. > :10:34.professional Jessica Ennis-Hill is. She has a fantastic game face. She

:10:35. > :10:39.has a wonderful approach to competition. This is like something

:10:40. > :10:42.she's never had to face before. But she has so much experience and

:10:43. > :10:46.success approaching competition from the stand point of just getting out

:10:47. > :10:49.there, focusing on the controlables, the things that you can control and

:10:50. > :10:52.don't worry about the things you can't control. That has worked for

:10:53. > :10:57.her. So it will certainly work for her tonight. So at this 800m, she

:10:58. > :11:00.woken be focused on Katarina Johnson-Thompson and depending on

:11:01. > :11:03.her to help. She won't focus on Thiam. She'll be behind her. She

:11:04. > :11:08.won't be able to see her. She'll be trying to run the best 800m that she

:11:09. > :11:11.possibly can, run the fastest times she can because that's all she can

:11:12. > :11:15.control. The momentum favours Thiam because

:11:16. > :11:19.she's been running personal bests and, you know, if you lose to

:11:20. > :11:22.Jessica Ennis-Hill and get a silver medal, that's success for the

:11:23. > :11:26.Belgian athlete, for Thiam, that's success. So, um, she'll be running,

:11:27. > :11:29.you know, very relaxed and looking for another personal best. She's

:11:30. > :11:33.been racking them up this entire competition so this is going to be

:11:34. > :11:36.very, very tough. It's going to be very compelling watching because the

:11:37. > :11:40.situations both athletes are in and, um, I think it will be fantastic.

:11:41. > :11:45.It's Thiam's race to lose. It's her competition to lose and, um, but,

:11:46. > :11:49.but, you know, if she takes home a silver medal, it's her first Olympic

:11:50. > :11:53.medal so that will be success for her. She'll be aware of that. But

:11:54. > :11:58.she's right there in the lead and she'll want the gold medal. From

:11:59. > :12:03.Thiam's stand point, it's Jess's gold medal and she's going to take

:12:04. > :12:06.it away. I don't think she feels it's hers because she's in position

:12:07. > :12:10.one. That's the right way to look at it. It's Jess's gold medal. She's

:12:11. > :12:15.the favourite. She's the defending champion. It's a mental sort of...

:12:16. > :12:20.Chess game. She has had four PBs, Thiam. She's had aness fast thattic

:12:21. > :12:23.competition. Competition. -- had a fantastic competition. She gave us a

:12:24. > :12:28.fantastic moment in the high jump yesterday. Let's look at her jaf

:12:29. > :12:32.lip, which wasn't a PB, very close, but beautifully executed, Denise,

:12:33. > :12:35.right time, one throw, walked away from the competition. You can see

:12:36. > :12:37.the pain she's in at release. Velin, which wasn't a PB, very close, but

:12:38. > :12:39.beautifully executed, Denise, right time, one throw, walked away from

:12:40. > :12:44.the competition. You can see the pain she's in at release. She has

:12:45. > :12:47.ruptures a ligament in her elbow and so the Belgian camp will have told

:12:48. > :12:52.her she needs one throw and she delivered. What does that say about

:12:53. > :12:57.this young girl's mentality? I know she's a great javelin-thrower but to

:12:58. > :12:59.do it on one single throw. With a ruptures ligament. With a ruptures

:13:00. > :13:05.ligament. Michael's right. She's in the zone. She's in the moment and

:13:06. > :13:09.she will run, she will run her heart out, you know. This is such a new

:13:10. > :13:13.place for her to be in. You know, if you'd asked me at the beginning of

:13:14. > :13:18.the competition would she lead the heptathlon, I would have said

:13:19. > :13:21.absolutely not. But Jess, she performed, you know, just as you

:13:22. > :13:28.would expect. She seldom... She always... Performs. That's what Jess

:13:29. > :13:33.does. She always performs. She stamped her authority on the first

:13:34. > :13:37.round of the javelin, improved it on the second one and was marginally

:13:38. > :13:41.unyukky for the final throw but come to this last event, wow, the biggest

:13:42. > :13:46.heart is what's going to win this race. Yeah, and incredible,

:13:47. > :13:53.incredible competitor she is and so is this man. Mo Farah, entering the

:13:54. > :13:57.arena for yet another gold medal-winning ceremony. We've seen

:13:58. > :14:00.it so many times before but we should never, ever take it for

:14:01. > :14:05.granted, pall yeah, because he is... He's truly great. He is. What he has

:14:06. > :14:09.achieved is huge, really huge, to be able to put that back to back like

:14:10. > :14:13.that and to accomplish it and bounce back from that fall as well. Didn't

:14:14. > :14:23.even faze him. Gave him a jolt forward. Like we needed more drama

:14:24. > :14:27.tonight. Steve Cram, all yours. It's all Mo's, isn't it? The world

:14:28. > :14:31.at his feet again. He really is remarkable, as Paula was saying,

:14:32. > :14:35.what he's managed to achieve over a period of time. Not being injured -

:14:36. > :14:40.he's had problems now and then but to come back time after time - this

:14:41. > :14:51.is his eighth gold medal, I was saying, in commentary.

:14:52. > :15:00.He bounced back and since won the gold medal at those championships,

:15:01. > :15:06.it's been two world titles in Moscow, two in Beijing and another

:15:07. > :15:14.gold medal in the 10,000m and the Rio Olympics.

:15:15. > :15:25.Brave performance from Tola frommeth yomia. He and dem learn -- from

:15:26. > :15:31.Ethiopia. He and Demelash gave Mo something to think about. That form

:15:32. > :15:39.guide, probably a better one than one or two of the Kenyans. A good

:15:40. > :15:56.performance from him. Paul Tanui gave a resolute

:15:57. > :16:02.performance, as he did in becaming last year. Really did try and at

:16:03. > :16:08.least push Mo as hard as he could. In the end, his more famous

:16:09. > :16:25.team-mate, Geoffrey Kamworor, really not figuring today.

:16:26. > :16:31.It's another silver medal for Kenya. Say I say that because they're

:16:32. > :16:35.having to get used to the idea that they're not going to win the gold,

:16:36. > :16:41.not while the great, the greatest Mo Farah is around.

:16:42. > :16:51.CHEERING The first British athlete to win

:16:52. > :17:03.three Olympic gold medals. Mo Farah, family there to enjoy a special,

:17:04. > :17:09.special moment he talked about all of the hours, days, weeks, months,

:17:10. > :17:11.years that go into moments like this. We all know that. We all

:17:12. > :17:25.understand that. He really feels it. Defending his title in the style of

:17:26. > :17:31.which we've all become accustomed and the one that is truly his own,

:17:32. > :17:45.Mo Farah, Olympic 10,000m champion again.

:17:46. > :18:31.What a great moment, the great Mo Farah. What a pleasure it was for us

:18:32. > :18:35.to share that journey with him, three Olympic gold medals,

:18:36. > :18:46.absolutely amazing. Absolutely amazing to see him do that. He's got

:18:47. > :18:49.some supporters in there as we see Jess Ennis-Hill getting ready to

:18:50. > :18:52.come home. Kelly Holmes there to watch and Steve Redgrave has come to

:18:53. > :18:56.the track to watch the great Mo Farah. And we know what his

:18:57. > :19:01.personality is like. We know what his running ability is like but the

:19:02. > :19:06.inner determination of this young man - 2008, he didn't even make the

:19:07. > :19:11.final in Beijing and then he transformed himself and his wife is

:19:12. > :19:14.a very proud lady and her daughter with her, what a great night. What a

:19:15. > :19:34.pleasure to be here. We are lucky to be witnessing such

:19:35. > :19:39.greatness. Mo Farah is a very, very special man and very, very special

:19:40. > :19:43.athlete, indeed. Anyone who saw the documentary that looked in detail at

:19:44. > :19:46.the kind of sacrifices and he makes and the kind of training and we

:19:47. > :19:51.understand and we think we know what it takes. It is brutal, it is hard

:19:52. > :19:57.and tough and so is this lady. Jessica Ennis-Hill has come out with

:19:58. > :20:04.800m to defend her Olympic title. Can you call it at all, Denise? Is

:20:05. > :20:08.it possible the even attempt? I just - you know, she will have to run the

:20:09. > :20:13.race of her life. She will have to run her personal best faster than

:20:14. > :20:20.she's probably ever run before. That 10-second gap that needs to be

:20:21. > :20:24.between her and the Belgian is something that is do-able but it is

:20:25. > :20:35.in the hands of someone who is quite special who has the ability to take

:20:36. > :20:40.it out and run for her life. There is an heir to the throne though, a

:20:41. > :20:45.pretender in the Belgian who wants that Olympic gold medal. She will be

:20:46. > :20:48.running her heart out, too. Katarina Johnson-Thompson running to take

:20:49. > :20:52.something away from this that she can feel she can build on going

:20:53. > :20:58.forward. Let's join our commentary team Steve Cram. What a moment.

:20:59. > :21:01.Well, we hope so, don't we, Gaby. Everyone will be holding their

:21:02. > :21:05.breath in the moments between Jessica Ennis-Hill crossing the

:21:06. > :21:11.line. She, of course, will cross the line ahead of thyme thyme we are

:21:12. > :21:23.sure. The seconds then will tick by. 1, 2, 3, 4... Will it reach 10? Here

:21:24. > :21:27.is one for you, Katarina Johnson-Thompson is the pacemaker.

:21:28. > :21:30.Jess needs some competition here. She needs someone to run hard with

:21:31. > :21:36.to push her. We know that Katarina can run hard. She has her own quest.

:21:37. > :21:41.She is distant from the bronze medal. All of the women in this

:21:42. > :21:56.final race are theoretically within shouting distance. The reality is it

:21:57. > :22:00.is between Jess and thyme thyme for the gold medal and you would expect

:22:01. > :22:04.Johnson-Thompson may catch the leader. She is currently in eighth

:22:05. > :22:13.place. She would have to run 8 seconds quicker than the Canadian

:22:14. > :22:18.and the Canadian is a sub-28. That gives you an idea. Will this lady

:22:19. > :22:33.Nafissatou Thiam become the Olympic champion? . The big question for

:22:34. > :22:41.Jess and everyone in the stadium, an awful lot of British flags here. Can

:22:42. > :22:49.she put enough dis-Tasmania between herself and it is a big distance

:22:50. > :22:56.between herself and thyme thyme. -- Nafissatou Thiam. Thiam, we don't

:22:57. > :23:01.know her potential yet at this distance. I will Britain in Steve

:23:02. > :23:05.Backley. It all comes down to this and they don't practice it very

:23:06. > :23:12.often. They are power athletes. It will be a tough 2 and a bit minutes.

:23:13. > :23:15.Potential yet at this distance. I will Britain in Steve Backley. It

:23:16. > :23:18.all comes down to this and they don't practice it very often. They

:23:19. > :23:22.are power athletes. It will be a tough 2 and a bit minutes. Stop

:23:23. > :23:23.watches at the ready at the front and down the field. Jessica

:23:24. > :23:25.Ennis-Hill and Katarina Johnson-Thompson in her final event

:23:26. > :23:29.of this Olympic heptathlon. Jess immediately going to the front. How

:23:30. > :23:36.hard can she go? How hard must she go? It already looks like it could

:23:37. > :23:41.be a long furrow she tries to plough as they go through the first 200m

:23:42. > :23:46.which she has covered in a swift 29 and a bit. That is quite swift

:23:47. > :23:51.through the first 300. She is attacking this, Steve. She's

:23:52. > :23:57.absolutely gone off. Michael Johnson called it a mental chess game. Jess

:23:58. > :24:02.has gone into attack mode. Thiam can see her. Jess is running blind. She

:24:03. > :24:06.will have to just attack. Denise Lewis talked about when. There is a

:24:07. > :24:12.glance up there at the screen at the end of the track to see where Thiam

:24:13. > :24:17.is. The 180 seconds equates to something around 25 metres. Thiam

:24:18. > :24:22.with a n work work se around Jessica Ennis-Hill's neck. She is hanging

:24:23. > :24:30.on. She can hang onto the gap at the moment, probably around 20 metres.

:24:31. > :24:35.If it doubles and some. Then Jess can be overtaken and certainly Thiam

:24:36. > :24:42.could take the gold here. The gap is not big enough at the moment. It was

:24:43. > :24:47.about 7.5 seconds and Jess went through 26.9 heading at that space

:24:48. > :24:54.something around 26, 27. We expected that but we hoped that Thiam

:24:55. > :24:58.couldn't do better than 2.17. She is running much quicker than that. She

:24:59. > :25:02.is with this group. The gap is getting bigger. Thiam is rallying

:25:03. > :25:07.here. Jessica Ennis-Hill is doing everything she can. She can only win

:25:08. > :25:12.this last event and run it as hard as she can. She can only give it

:25:13. > :25:14.everything she's got and it will be an anxious wait looking back.

:25:15. > :25:21.Jessica Ennis-Hill coming down the home straight. It will be very close

:25:22. > :25:26.to her best. It will just be outside 2.7, 2.9. The clock is ticking and

:25:27. > :25:31.Thiam is going to become the Olympic champion by a couple of seconds and

:25:32. > :25:37.probably around 20, 30 points. We will clarify all of that. I am sorry

:25:38. > :25:41.to say, I am pretty sure we can confirm that with everything you can

:25:42. > :25:50.all see, Jess couldn't do anymore. 2.907. It was a big ask for her to

:25:51. > :25:54.run a personal best and Thiam certainly appears to have broken her

:25:55. > :26:00.best. Not by very much. Jess was a couple of seconds at what she

:26:01. > :26:06.required. It was out of her hands in the even and, Steve, I guess the

:26:07. > :26:10.gold medal, which she dearly hoped she could retain, slipped away or

:26:11. > :26:15.was grasped away from her really in the long jump and the javelin. You

:26:16. > :26:19.have got to hand it to Thiam, two brilliant performances, particularly

:26:20. > :26:24.in the javelin. Jess, the first to congratulate her and say well done.

:26:25. > :26:28.I couldn't agree more, Steve. It is a victory for Thiam as Jessica

:26:29. > :26:32.Ennis-Hill is congratulated by her team-mate. Jessica Ennis-Hill didn't

:26:33. > :26:37.do much wrong. Thiam, a big smile there. Congratulations all round.

:26:38. > :26:42.She was out of the blocks quickly yesterday morning in the hurdles and

:26:43. > :26:46.she never looked back. Jess led overnight but after this morning's

:26:47. > :26:51.long jump it was Thiam who went into the lead and produced that monster

:26:52. > :26:57.javelin 53 metres which gave her the comfort in that 800m she knew the

:26:58. > :27:03.comfort, the benefit of having Jess in her sights. That 10-second

:27:04. > :27:09.deficit was never going to grow with the determination of a 21-year-old

:27:10. > :27:19.Olympic champion and produced a wonderful display of athleticism

:27:20. > :27:23.across the seven events. Well, she follows of course a high jumping

:27:24. > :27:28.heptathlete. Jess did everything she could. You couldn't ask for anything

:27:29. > :27:32.else. Plenty of smiles for her and Katarina Johnson-Thompson. A tough

:27:33. > :27:36.campaign. She's done well in overall points here, but just falling short.

:27:37. > :27:42.Denise, we all worried this would be the case, that Thiam could find a

:27:43. > :27:47.little bit extra and set her sights on Jess and not having enough help

:27:48. > :27:52.to go as quick as she needed. Thiam has had an inspired two days. She's

:27:53. > :28:01.really performed quit remarkably. Such a talent. I spoke to Tia

:28:02. > :28:04.Hallibut today and she said we expected this. We have been waiting

:28:05. > :28:10.for her to get everything together. This is not a time to be sad for

:28:11. > :28:16.Jess. I mean, she's come such a long, long way to become world

:28:17. > :28:19.champion last year, to give her absolutely all in these last two

:28:20. > :28:24.days. She took the competition to even and said, "Listen, I am here to

:28:25. > :28:29.defend my title" and you just saw her run magnificently. She couldn't

:28:30. > :28:36.deanymore. I am glad that smile is out there, but just savour a moment

:28:37. > :28:41.for a girlwho has shown great promise and potential to come on the

:28:42. > :28:49.biggest stage in the world and take that gold medal away. It has been

:28:50. > :28:53.quite a tremendous heptathlon event. It is not something I would want to

:28:54. > :28:57.dwell on, to be honest. There was talk that if Jess didn't win, will

:28:58. > :29:02.we see her in long next year? Is this the dawn of a new era? Is Thiam

:29:03. > :29:07.the future? Jess is full of smiles there. It looks like she's really

:29:08. > :29:13.enjoyed this? Flies, Denise? I don't know. It is hard to enter the mind

:29:14. > :29:16.of an athlete. I had a feeling if she had one here today she might

:29:17. > :29:21.just say it doesn't get better than this. I would love to see her

:29:22. > :29:26.compete in the World Championships in London and relieve some of those

:29:27. > :29:30.moments from 2012, but I think Jess is at peace. She really is. She's

:29:31. > :29:34.den everything that you could ask someone to do to get her body back

:29:35. > :29:39.into shape, to compete on the highest level and you see her coach

:29:40. > :29:43.Tony Minichiello shrug his shoulders. She couldn't do more. She

:29:44. > :29:46.couldn't do more. Sometimes you get these moments in the heptathlon

:29:47. > :29:51.where people just raise their game and you can't do anything about

:29:52. > :29:57.that. Jess tried so hard, but Thiam has been fantastic. Absolutely

:29:58. > :30:02.fantastic. What I love about Jess, she is - she truly is your real

:30:03. > :30:07.Olympian. She jumps and she throws and she runs and she always does it

:30:08. > :30:12.in the right way. She's the perfect example and she's graceful when she

:30:13. > :30:17.wins. She is graceful when she loses. She is a true champion, of

:30:18. > :30:23.course, but she's a great Olympian as well and all of these women, as

:30:24. > :30:27.ever, in the heptathlon showing great camaraderie. It is a hard,

:30:28. > :30:32.tough two days and it has been particularly hard here. Big gaps

:30:33. > :30:38.between the morning and the evening sessions. We are here again heading

:30:39. > :30:42.towards midnight, but the smiles this time - the really big smile

:30:43. > :30:48.belongs to Nafissatou Thiam, the 21-year-old. A huge talent. What a

:30:49. > :30:55.high jump it was, 1.98. Big javelin. She confirmed the gold medal. We

:30:56. > :31:02.haven't had it on the result, but I can tell you that Thiam will win -

:31:03. > :31:05.or has won the gold. Jessica Ennis-Hill the silver and

:31:06. > :31:11.Tyson-Eaton the bronze. We will confirm that with all of the points

:31:12. > :31:15.shortly. Just to bring you back in, Steve. I saw Tony Minichiello there

:31:16. > :31:20.and for Jess there is no disappointment, really. There has go

:31:21. > :31:24.to be a little bit, but you can see there she'sen joying this and

:31:25. > :31:29.enjoying these moments and that 800 at the end, she attacked it, but you

:31:30. > :31:33.cannot - if somebody is coming along like Thiam, there is nothing she can

:31:34. > :31:39.do on the game act that. I agree, Steve. The 800 is a physiological

:31:40. > :31:43.limit to what she could run. When she looks back, she might just

:31:44. > :31:47.question whether the last round of the shot put or javelin is where

:31:48. > :31:50.Jess let it slip a little. That is being harsh and critical, but I know

:31:51. > :31:54.that is probably what she will do. My thoughts will go to Katarina

:31:55. > :32:01.Johnson-Thompson. You talk about the future of the event. It is there,

:32:02. > :32:08.but two gaping holes in what is an incredible five events. We saw that

:32:09. > :32:11.in the pen tat long in the European Championships for Elaine Thompson

:32:12. > :32:18.last year. Convert that to the outdoor version and carrying two

:32:19. > :32:22.throws for a sprinter-jumper and Johnson-Thompson, she will be even

:32:23. > :32:28.more disappointed than Jess, clearly. It looks like

:32:29. > :32:36.Johnson-Thompson is in fifth place. I will let you give that, Steve.

:32:37. > :32:42.Yes, well, the result finally. It is a 35-point differential and that

:32:43. > :32:47.would have been about 2.5 seconds, 2.3 seconds that Jess would have had

:32:48. > :32:53.to find, but she wasn't able to. Nafissatou Thiam of Belgium is the

:32:54. > :33:05.Olympic champion. 6810 points. Jessica Ennis-Hill, the silver medal

:33:06. > :33:16.this time. Brianne Theisen Eaton takes the bronze for Canada. Two

:33:17. > :33:22.years ago she became a mum to Reggie. A year later she won the

:33:23. > :33:26.World Championships in Beijing and tonight she's a silver medallist,

:33:27. > :33:29.just missing out on retaining her gold medal. My first thoughts,

:33:30. > :33:33.because I spoke to her about a month ago, and we were talking about

:33:34. > :33:42.Reggie and her balancing and everything and how life is so

:33:43. > :33:47.different now. She was completely selfish prior she only had to deal

:33:48. > :33:52.with Jess. Paula you are nodding. Her thoughts will be, only two more

:33:53. > :33:57.days and she will be cuddling Reggie again. She said she wants to make

:33:58. > :34:02.the time away from Reggie count. All of the hard work and put it out in

:34:03. > :34:06.the arena. She's done that. That is why she's happy. Denise summed it up

:34:07. > :34:11.perfectly. She gave it her best shot and couldn't have done more. She

:34:12. > :34:17.should be proud of herself. I don't know about you, Michael, when ever I

:34:18. > :34:21.see this scene after the heptathlon, this band of sisters, the march of

:34:22. > :34:25.the Warriors and acknowledge each other. Nobody else knows what they

:34:26. > :34:30.have been through but them out there and the smiles on their faces. "We

:34:31. > :34:35.made it through that battle. How the heck did we do that?" A lot of

:34:36. > :34:42.emotions for the competitors, relief it is over, joy it is over and they

:34:43. > :34:47.have completed it and I think there is probably a huge amount of mutual

:34:48. > :34:51.respect, not only for how difficult these two days are, but they know

:34:52. > :34:54.how difficult it is to train for this event over the year and to get

:34:55. > :35:01.here and many others have wanted to get here and didn't. Over the last

:35:02. > :35:05.couple of days, it has been steely-eyed and close proximity, but

:35:06. > :35:08.not being able to talk to one another. Having to be in your

:35:09. > :35:13.competitive mode and have your gum face on. It is nice to be able to

:35:14. > :35:17.relax and once it is over to share a moment together. I think it is a

:35:18. > :35:22.true moment that shows sportsmanship and that, at the end of the day,

:35:23. > :35:28.there is mutual respect amongst fierce competitors. There is a great

:35:29. > :35:33.camaraderie amongst the help tat lists. I have spoken about the bond

:35:34. > :35:38.that binds the heptathletes. It is about beating the event, it is about

:35:39. > :35:44.getting through those tough two days. Sent gruelling events and this

:35:45. > :35:47.timetable here in - where are we? Rio! It is so late.

:35:48. > :35:53.LAUGHTER It has been tested. It has been

:35:54. > :36:00.testing por these girls. Those long gaps, having to stay focused for so

:36:01. > :36:07.many hours. It is tough. That look on Jess's face, it is genuine. She

:36:08. > :36:10.is delighted. She was robbed competing in Beijing in 2008 through

:36:11. > :36:16.a triple stress fracture to her feet. So she just wanted to be an

:36:17. > :36:20.Olympian. That is all she's ever dreamed of. To get that gold in Rio,

:36:21. > :36:24.she knew it would be a challenge to come here and retain, but she didn't

:36:25. > :36:29.shy away from that, so that is why she is happy with that silver medal

:36:30. > :36:34.because she could have easily walked away being satisfied. She is a model

:36:35. > :36:37.competitor as well. You will not meet a more contained, mentally

:36:38. > :36:44.strong, tough and yet lovely person who has things in balance. She's got

:36:45. > :36:50.the balance. One of the moments in this competition that summed that up

:36:51. > :36:54.was during the javelin. When she came back and had a really good go

:36:55. > :36:59.at it. We were all like, "That is fantastic." She went right back

:37:00. > :37:02.focus. Right back to focus and focused on what is next. She doesn't

:37:03. > :37:07.spend the time celebrating and that sort of thing. I don't think she

:37:08. > :37:13.spends much time on other competitors as well. She is focused

:37:14. > :37:18.on her performance. That is what great competitors do. They focus on

:37:19. > :37:22.what they can control and not what you can't. What I admire the most

:37:23. > :37:28.about her is how she's had to revaluate. As you said, post-2012 it

:37:29. > :37:32.was about her getting that gold medal. Starting again from pretty

:37:33. > :37:39.much scratch, having a baby, the injuries, but what I any has been

:37:40. > :37:42.the most special is how -- what I thinks that hand been the most

:37:43. > :37:48.special is her revaluating how she can get better. She couldn't rely on

:37:49. > :37:55.her jumps. That is a lovely, lovely embrace, isn't it? Look at that

:37:56. > :37:59.moment. These are the gems, the absolute sporting gems where the

:38:00. > :38:04.reigning Olympic champion just gives a nod to the next one, Thiam.

:38:05. > :38:09.Fantastic. She's on her way to Phil Jones. I am not sure if she's

:38:10. > :38:13.reached him just yet. I think she's been nabbed by somebody else, but

:38:14. > :38:17.Phil will be there and he'll have a chat with her. At the moment,

:38:18. > :38:21.Katarina Johnson-Thompson has made it to Phil.

:38:22. > :38:27.Count your reflections on that. Is it a sense of opportunities missed?

:38:28. > :38:31.Of course. It is one of the best opportunities to do well Am

:38:32. > :38:36.disappointed in myself I didn't execute when I really needed to, but

:38:37. > :38:40.I am happy I finished and I am not going to cry this time. Good on you

:38:41. > :38:45.for that. Tell me about the highs and lows of the competition from

:38:46. > :38:51.your perspective? One high and six lows. The high jump was an obvious

:38:52. > :39:03.high. It was a joint Olympic record with the new Olympic chat. Not so

:39:04. > :39:08.high for me there. Unfortunately, I couldn't come in - I came sixth

:39:09. > :39:14.place and didn't get a medal unfortunately. Do you feel an added

:39:15. > :39:16.pressure when someone like Thiam is delivering personal best upon perm

:39:17. > :39:21.best and you have got to maintain that sort of level as well? I think

:39:22. > :39:28.she was the exception in this competition. She has had a blinding

:39:29. > :39:37.two days. When others fell back she excelled. A PB 6.8 was going to --

:39:38. > :39:41.68 will get you a medal fry time. UnfortunateMately I couldn't produce

:39:42. > :39:45.that today. You know what sort of talent is within you and what you

:39:46. > :39:51.are capable, are you disappointed you couldn't do it here and now. In

:39:52. > :39:57.the future, how do you see yourself getting tow that consistent level

:39:58. > :40:03.she has produced time and time. She just said to me at my age 23 she

:40:04. > :40:09.wasn't as consistent. I'll be Jess's age when she is in London. Because I

:40:10. > :40:11.have showed glimpses of good in different events, people just want

:40:12. > :40:16.me to put it all together. It is very hard for me to do that.

:40:17. > :40:24.Hopefully I can more consistent like Jess is when she was 27. Here is the

:40:25. > :40:29.woman herself we are talking about. Kat, how consistent you have been

:40:30. > :40:33.but not at Kat's and it is an interesting dynamic and something

:40:34. > :40:38.that Kat will be able to take with her as she goes forward. The

:40:39. > :40:44.heptathlon is so hard. It is mentally and physically draining.

:40:45. > :40:51.Kat has got so much more. She has to stay confident. I was a tellable

:40:52. > :40:57.thrower for many years but I got better. I believe in Kat. Great to

:40:58. > :41:02.see you draped in the flag. Thiam was inspiring. Incredible. Such a

:41:03. > :41:08.lovely girl and just to see her individual performances that were

:41:09. > :41:11.out the charts. Very proud to have got the silver and she is

:41:12. > :41:17.incredible. Your reflections going around that

:41:18. > :41:23.lap of honour. What a four years it has been. You gave birth to Reggie

:41:24. > :41:28.and injuries and coming back. Now this. I find it hard to find the

:41:29. > :41:33.words to describe this. I have achieved so much in the sport and I

:41:34. > :41:37.am really proud. Four years ago it was Super Saturday. We had three

:41:38. > :41:43.golds. We've had a gold, silver and a bronze. That is pretty super for

:41:44. > :41:48.the British team. Yes. Greg did amazing as well. To come back and

:41:49. > :41:53.get three golds on Super Saturday would have been a huge ask. Medals

:41:54. > :41:58.and medals, we have all done very well. There has been amazing British

:41:59. > :42:05.support here and it shows from four years ago. Jess did the victory lap

:42:06. > :42:12.and there were 17 GB supporters in every section. It has been

:42:13. > :42:16.incredible. That is amazing. We have seen Mo come through, Greg with

:42:17. > :42:20.tears and Kat says she is not going to cry. You are emotional because

:42:21. > :42:25.you have been through a lot. I am very emotional. I don't want to cry

:42:26. > :42:29.on TV, but these years have been amazing and I am really proud. So

:42:30. > :42:36.you are hinting this may be the last one? Possibly, yeah. I don't want to

:42:37. > :42:40.cry. What will be the defining decision, do you think, for you?

:42:41. > :42:44.Just to go away and have time where my family and make a decision, but

:42:45. > :42:48.it has been incredible and I just don't want to cry like this. Stop

:42:49. > :42:52.making me cry. I'll let you go and, listen, it has always been a

:42:53. > :42:56.pleasure. Whether this is your last event or not, congratulations on

:42:57. > :43:02.your great career. Kat, the greatness is yet to come. Thank you,

:43:03. > :43:07.both. Thank you. That is Phil's job. That is what he does. He's just -

:43:08. > :43:10.isn't he wonderful in those moments. They love having that moment with

:43:11. > :43:12.Phil. It feels like it is the full stop at the end of your whole

:43:13. > :43:13.experience Phil. It feels like it is the full

:43:14. > :43:13.stop at the end of your whole experience when you

:43:14. > :43:14.Phil. It feels like it is the full stop at the end of your whole

:43:15. > :43:21.experience when you have your chat with Phil. Matthew ran over to Phil

:43:22. > :43:25.after he finished. Because he knows that Phil is the conduit to you. He

:43:26. > :43:27.wants to know what you say. LAUGHS

:43:28. > :43:32.. He is our dud, Phil. Those two ladies there, their emotions summed

:43:33. > :43:38.up, what they have gone through in the last few days and for Jess we

:43:39. > :43:41.have heard that her mind is independent made up yet. Will she

:43:42. > :43:45.sacrifice everything she does to go to London next year and try to

:43:46. > :43:52.retain her World Championship title? I can't begin to put into words how

:43:53. > :43:57.difficult it is to think about going again for another 12 months after

:43:58. > :44:04.all she's been through already. She loves being a family woman. She's

:44:05. > :44:09.seen the championship. She's been double world champion, Olympic

:44:10. > :44:13.champion. She has talked about post-pregnancy and post having

:44:14. > :44:17.Reggie. I didn't realise it was going to be so hard coming back. It

:44:18. > :44:21.really is. I I have been there. I know what it is like. She has to go

:44:22. > :44:25.away and take her time and see what she feels, see if she will miss it

:44:26. > :44:29.enough to put it through that hard winter work again to raise her game

:44:30. > :44:34.yet again because the young pretenders are coming after her.

:44:35. > :44:38.They are there. Kat will reflect on what has happened and she will get

:44:39. > :44:43.better. It is right. I know we are going to talk a little bit about her

:44:44. > :44:47.in a little while, but we care. We care about her performance. We know

:44:48. > :44:52.the potential. We know that she can iron out those glitches in the two

:44:53. > :44:58.throw events. But she has to stay positive. She has to make changes.

:44:59. > :45:02.Jess said it there, didn't she? I was terrible at throwing. She was

:45:03. > :45:08.eluding to the fact they are the weakest parts of her heptathlon. I

:45:09. > :45:13.think that Jess, though, it sounded to me right there that it is over,

:45:14. > :45:17.she is done. You think about why would you come back when she's won

:45:18. > :45:24.two World Championships already? She's had an Olympics at home and

:45:25. > :45:28.won gold and a silver here. The motivation and Jess is one of those

:45:29. > :45:32.athletes -- London is the motivation. No. You see for us

:45:33. > :45:36.because we will be covering it, but as Denise said she's got to go

:45:37. > :45:41.through 12 months of training and be motivated every day to go out there,

:45:42. > :45:47.so what is that motivation? I get to comat home. She did that in the

:45:48. > :45:53.Olympics. The World Championships at home will pale in comparison. Paula

:45:54. > :45:56.is saying no. I don't agree. You have to be careful when you make

:45:57. > :46:00.those decisions. She says she will go away and think about it with her

:46:01. > :46:03.family, but she will have to understand if that motivation isn't

:46:04. > :46:07.there, what is there left to do? Then you won't go out and train as

:46:08. > :46:12.hard especially when you have a kid and family at home you would rather

:46:13. > :46:17.be with. There has got to be a pretty big carrot at the end of that

:46:18. > :46:20.in order to go out and put the time in away from your family. You have

:46:21. > :46:25.got to remember she got injured early part of the year. Heptathlon

:46:26. > :46:31.takes its toll on your body. If she's going to come back, does she

:46:32. > :46:35.want to have those - just those problems again? They may recur?

:46:36. > :46:40.She's done fantastically well to get her body back into that shape, but

:46:41. > :46:43.the injuries -- Thiam gold medal winner in the heptathlon has heard

:46:44. > :46:47.that your performance isn't over until you have chatted with Phil.

:46:48. > :46:53.That is exactly where she is right now. Hey! Many congratulations. What

:46:54. > :46:56.a performance. You are Olympic champion. I get a sense of

:46:57. > :47:00.disbelief, really, that you have managed to achieve what you have

:47:01. > :47:05.managed to achieve. I still can't believe it. I didn't come for a

:47:06. > :47:11.medal. I wasn't thinking about it at all. I knew after the long jump and

:47:12. > :47:18.after the javelin throw anything was possible. I had to do my best in the

:47:19. > :47:24.800. I am really happy that I mained to do that. How did you manage to be

:47:25. > :47:28.so inspired across so many events, every single best, personal best and

:47:29. > :47:34.season best? I don't even know. I was in good form and I just tried to

:47:35. > :47:41.focus on each event individually, one after one. It worked. Just came

:47:42. > :47:45.like that and I am really happy I was in such form to win here at the

:47:46. > :47:50.Olympics. What are you thinking in the 800m? You know you have to stay

:47:51. > :47:53.quite close to Jess, but that gold medal moment is really close as

:47:54. > :48:01.well. What are you thinking at that point? Yeah, I was just looking at

:48:02. > :48:09.her and trying not to let her go. I knew it was possible for me to do 16

:48:10. > :48:13.or 15 and, yeah, just try to not let her go too far. So considering you

:48:14. > :48:16.didn't think you were going the win a medal and now you are Olympic

:48:17. > :48:22.champion, life is going to change for you big time. Yeah, I guess. I

:48:23. > :48:26.am going to see when I am back if Belgium. I am still at university

:48:27. > :48:31.which is very important for me. Maybe I will have to make a

:48:32. > :48:38.decision, but not now. Just - we will see what happens. I am excited

:48:39. > :48:43.to see. Congratulations. Thank you. She's got to make a decision about

:48:44. > :48:48.her education. Well, Phil is the man to push you on that. He will make

:48:49. > :48:52.you decide on the spot there. She should just carry on. It seems to be

:48:53. > :48:58.working for her. Wow, look at that. How tight was that? I will probably

:48:59. > :49:03.wrestle with this tonight when I am falling asleep, if she had done

:49:04. > :49:07.280cm longer the long jump and a bit more in the shot put, it is those

:49:08. > :49:11.fine margins but when you are up against a girl producing five PBs,

:49:12. > :49:14.Denise, what can you do? It is what it takes if you want to beat Jessica

:49:15. > :49:19.Ennis-Hill, clearly. You have to perform out of your skin and she's

:49:20. > :49:23.done that. You can see the disbelief. As I said earlier, I

:49:24. > :49:28.wouldn't have picked her out of the line of girls to come into this

:49:29. > :49:32.competition and win. It is really remarkable but those performances

:49:33. > :49:37.says it all. That 198 is spectacular. The 58 is possibly one

:49:38. > :49:41.of the most impressive on that page because we know she is a great high

:49:42. > :49:45.jumper, but to be able to hold it together in those two laps of the

:49:46. > :49:52.800m says a lot about her character. Look how far down she was. The

:49:53. > :49:56.hurdles are clearly not one of her most spectacular events. It was the

:49:57. > :49:59.high jump where she catapulted herself up the leader board. What a

:50:00. > :50:01.competition and we have thoroughly enjoyed those two days and respect

:50:02. > :50:02.all of those athletes and enjoyed those two days and respect

:50:03. > :50:03.all of those athletes and their efforts

:50:04. > :50:03.enjoyed those two days and respect all of those athletes and their

:50:04. > :50:11.efforts in the heptathlon competition. Paula, it is Mo time.

:50:12. > :50:14.Why not? 3le:45 in the UK. You still with us? You will enjoy this. Let's

:50:15. > :50:27.look at the 10,000 metres. It was all very razamataz and

:50:28. > :50:32.showbiz. Mo thought, "I am going to get the crowd on my side. " He knows

:50:33. > :50:37.he has the crowd on his side and he was in shape. I will look at the

:50:38. > :50:42.fall now. Does he trip over the feet of the person in front of him or

:50:43. > :50:49.does Gatlin just get the back of his heel? I think he actually did put

:50:50. > :50:52.his foot down and Gatlin had no choice. He was lifting his foot. I

:50:53. > :50:57.don't think anybody was to blame there. You see that Mo went after

:50:58. > :51:01.Gatlin and gave him a few words and there were a few words back there.

:51:02. > :51:05.What he did was compose himself very quickly and there we are with a lap

:51:06. > :51:09.to go. It was two laps to go when Mo had himself in control and that is

:51:10. > :51:14.where he likes to be - controlling it from the front. He is playing and

:51:15. > :51:23.he wanted to let somebody come past him, but he knew, a quick check

:51:24. > :51:28.behind, I think there. He wanted to know where Gatlin was. I know what

:51:29. > :51:32.he has and I know I have him bet. Gatlin as last lap in London was

:51:33. > :51:36.quicker. He is getting ready for the marathon. He was concentrating. Felt

:51:37. > :51:41.he was a threat. I got a feeling that he felt the bigger threat was

:51:42. > :51:47.from behind hip, checking it wasn't coming and he knows he has got it.

:51:48. > :51:51.He knew he had it 150ms to go. He had that finish in the tank because

:51:52. > :51:56.he's trained it again and again and again. He has these answers. The

:51:57. > :52:02.others don't. Whatever they throw at him, they can't touch him. He can

:52:03. > :52:06.respond stronger each time. We have to underline again and again just

:52:07. > :52:11.how phenomenal it is to come back Olympic champion twice. The work it

:52:12. > :52:16.takes. Everybody puts the work in. Everyone works hard. When Mo talks

:52:17. > :52:20.about sacrifices they all do that. Jess spends time away from her

:52:21. > :52:24.family. It is all added together. It is his just determinion just to

:52:25. > :52:28.knock everything out in training the way that he's not rattled out there.

:52:29. > :52:33.You can see how emotional he was afterwards and he had a fall. That

:52:34. > :52:38.is an emotional thing anyway. Of course, he spoke to Phil Jones

:52:39. > :52:44.afterwards and that emotion was raw, as raw as we have seen. It is almost

:52:45. > :52:48.like an old Mo coming back. When you see the way the emotion came to the

:52:49. > :52:51.front. That is what has been different this year. We haven't seen

:52:52. > :52:55.so much of the barriers going up. So much of the little bit of hardness

:52:56. > :52:59.that has been keeping that aloofness there. It is like he's had a veneer

:53:00. > :53:02.and he's let us look back through the curtains again. Let's have a

:53:03. > :53:07.little look again at the interview with Phil. He's relaxed. Mo,

:53:08. > :53:11.congratulations. It was a fantastic performance. It looked like an

:53:12. > :53:16.emotional performance for you in the end? It was definitely really

:53:17. > :53:20.emotional. You know like some things you can't control what happens in a

:53:21. > :53:25.race. When I went down, I was just like I hope it didn't take a lot out

:53:26. > :53:29.ofmy. I managed to get up quickly and tried to think about how much I

:53:30. > :53:36.had worked for this race and I wasn't glowing to let it go. How

:53:37. > :53:41.hard was it to rebound? It was hard. When you go down you get emotional.

:53:42. > :53:45.I had to pick myself back up and believe in myself and move through.

:53:46. > :53:49.In the end when I crossed the line I just got really emotional because

:53:50. > :53:56.you know what goes in. You can't imagine how hard you work for it. In

:53:57. > :54:01.one moment it has gone. We know how much what you put in, 120 miles a

:54:02. > :54:05.week plus. The sacrifices that you make, missing your family, six

:54:06. > :54:09.months at a time each year you are training really. Does it ever go

:54:10. > :54:13.through your mind when you win a race like that? It does. That is why

:54:14. > :54:19.I am definitely emotional now because I work hard and spend a lot

:54:20. > :54:25.of time away from my family and everything. That one moment could be

:54:26. > :54:33.gone - I just had to believe in myself and get through it. I wanted

:54:34. > :54:38.to do it for my kids. Rhian hasn't got a medal. I wanted to give it to

:54:39. > :54:42.her. I have one more for the little boy. I need to recover and get some

:54:43. > :54:46.time with the family and relax a little bit. That will be another

:54:47. > :54:49.piece of history, the 5,000. You have created mystery already, the

:54:50. > :54:52.first athlete ever from Great Britain to win three gold medals.

:54:53. > :54:55.History means a lot to you. It is important to you. It is important to

:54:56. > :55:01.make my country proud and make history. It is every athlete's

:55:02. > :55:05.dream. I want to continue doing what I enjoy. This is what I enjoy and

:55:06. > :55:09.this is what I am good at and I enjoy what I do. M -- you made the

:55:10. > :55:13.nation proud again tonight. Congratulations. Thank you, even,

:55:14. > :55:18.for your support. He is spent, isn't he? He is emotionally spent. He is

:55:19. > :55:23.raw and he really there you can sense that there has been so -- it

:55:24. > :55:29.means so, so much tow him. He wants to keep doing it as long as he can.

:55:30. > :55:34.How much longer can he keep going and doing this to himself? He is

:55:35. > :55:38.genuine there. I know I bang on about these sacrifices. "I love what
