Day 8 BBC Two: 22.10-23.55 Olympics

Welcome to viewers on BBC Two of further coverage of the Olympics and

Jason Kenny in the second of a best of three match race for a place in

the gold medal race, Jason Kenny having lost the first race. Chris

Hoi is convinced he can win. Let us find out with our commentators.

He will maintain his interest in maintaining the title. A few final

deep breaths. This is the man he has to beat, Denis Dmitriev from Russia.

Sir Chris Hoi was saying earlier that there was a slight technical

air, he was caught napping, fractions of a second as this race

gets underway, it shows what a good opponent Denis Dmitriev is, there is

no room for errors as they move agonisingly close to this Olympic

final for gold. We are about to find out, Jason Kenny is going to be in

that or not. At least it keeps his hopes alive. Interesting to see how

Denis Dmitriev plays this, what sort of race he would prefer. I think

Jason Kenny will be better from the back. We will have to wait and see,

Denis Dmitriev is a very capable rider, clearly he is, but tactically

as well. He has pushed and pushed Jason Kenny and Jason Kenny

accelerated to keep control and that is exactly what Denis Dmitriev

wanted. He is allowed to control things from the back. The pace early

on here, Denis Dmitriev in the middle of the track, trying to

encourage him to dive underneath so he can close the door on him. Force

them to come along way round Denis Dmitriev continuing to look to his

left hand side, a look to the right, down to the bottom of the track and

he starts to wind it up and Jason Kenny needs to get his skates on and

he starts to close the gap. One lap to go, Jason Kenny will have to win

this from the back as they go down at the back straight. Jason Kenny

stars to close the gap. Jason Kenny is looking good, has he got the

speed? Yes! Jason Kenny, much more like it on that second ride. Timed

at that one perfectly, got the momentum, carried him past the

Russian rider and takes it to a third and deciding race to decide

who will go through to the gold medal final here in the men's

sprint. Both of those riders favouring the back position, we

might see a fight to get that back slot in this deciding round that

will define who will go for gold and who will race for the bronze medal,

but Jason Kenny very much back in the hunt here. It does look close,

but the speed he had built up with a quarter of a lap to go, it was clear

he had the momentum. Jason Kenny will be feeling happier about things

now that he is right back in the running. He looked frustrated at the

end of that first ride when he was beaten by the Russian. He has got

the speed to win it, clearly here. It is everything else around it that

has to come together. He cannot make any mistakes, one much all and Jason

Kenny and Denis Dmitriev. A fairly quick turnaround, but now it is with

race number two, Callum Skinner against Matthew Glaetzer. Callum

Skinner won the first race and if he wins this he is into the final and

guaranteed a minimum of a silver medal. He won it superbly with real

style. Matthew Glaetzer did everything he could, but Callum

Skinner just steam-rollered him. Callum Skinner looking straight at

the Australian now. Needs to win this to keep his gold medal hopes

alive. This is Callum Skinner's opportunity to get into a gold medal

final, guarantee himself a medal at these games. It is all on the line

for the Australian rider. Former world champion in the team sprint.

Matthew Glaetzer leading on this first lap. Callum Skinner who has

had such a wonderful week here in the Rio Velodrome so far, can he

keep it going? They know how to use the track, it is 40 1 degrees, an

awful lot of hill to roll down. It is 26 metres further on the outside

and they have to blend speed and distance to get the optimum

trajectory as the sprint starts. They will take the Bell shortly. The

sprinters are now. Matthew Glaetzer on the front, Callum Skinner

hurtling after him on the back straight. It looks as if he might

have the speed here, Callum Skinner, what has Matthew Glaetzer got left?

Can he hold him off? He cannot. Brilliant from Callum Skinner! Two

straight rides, he was too good for a Matthew Glaetzer. That was

stunning. The tactical riding was superb. I want to see the replay.

Matthew Glaetzer did a great job. Callum Skinner double Bluffton, died

down the track and shot straight back up get that extra distance.

Fantastically done, such a mature performance. It has not just been

about speed, it is about tactics as well and he has been extremely

impressive all the way through this competition. It just clicked for him

and we see here, keeping his height, not getting sucked in, there it is,

I am coming down, know I am not, he paused about was the moment. Such

class. It means that Callum Skinner has not needed to go to three rides.

He can save his legs like he did in the quarterfinal. He has two fewer

rides and bad is good and will keep fresh. He is in to the Olympic final

and guaranteed a minimum of a silver medal. Will it be an all British

fair against Jason Kenny or will it be against Denis Dmitriev from

Russia, we do not have long to find out? Chris Hoy is watching this with

me. You were so impressed with Callum Skinner. He was fantastic.

When Matthew Glaetzer gets the front, and he is difficult to get

past. He is quick and strong but Callum Skinner gained some height

and ran at him and you saw as he came into the Bell, he gained height

again. Here, Matthew Glaetzer is trying to draw him in, Callum

Skinner wants to keep the height and has the advantage. He has drawn him

down, he tries to keep the gap. He attacks him now, you will start

giving everything. The point of having a gap is you can close into

it. It is like a slingshot and he did that perfectly and he is

cruising. He is into the final. Great riding from him and Callum

Skinner and Jason Kenny were team-mates along with Philip Hinds

when they won the gold medal in the team sprint, Jason Kenny has had to

fight for a place in the decider because he lost the first race

against Denis Dmitriev, what did he do differently? He played to his

strength and in the second one he is using the height of the track, he

can use maximum speed, not get drawn into an acceleration competition.

You see the gap, really winding up the pace, pushing Denis Dmitriev on,

Jason is having none of it, he is running at him. You will see the

difference in top speeds, he uses a slingshot technique, rushing him

into that gap and he is cruising past and that was a 10.0. Incredibly

fast, that will give Jason are huge boost. Normally you do not celebrate

until you have won one or two rounds and you can see what that meant. I

think the balance has shifted in favour of Jason, he has his Mojo

back and fingers crossed we will have an all British vinyl. It is all

about recovery, their final race will be straight after the medal

ceremony for the women's keirin. In terms of his fitness, Jason is a

good recovery. He is. Part of the trick is not to let your opponent

see how hard you are suffering and how bad you feel. Your opponent is

struggling as well. There were times when I was throwing up into buckets

out of sight so my opponent did not see it. Often it can be a mind game

to let them think that you are feeling fine. He will enjoy watching

this, the silver medal was won by Becky James. That in itself was a

great performance. Absolutely and Becky James could hardly contain her

joy at the outcome, after what she has been through, it was a wonderful

ride from her and it took an extraordinary final lap to ensure

that she is on the podium where she is standing now. She had to find

something extra. She had to go around the outside, but she found a

way through and found a way into second place and she beat some

brilliant cyclists, including the parents world champion, Kristina

Vogel. There is one of the all time greats, and 11 time world champion,

Anna Meares. Many viewers will remember her rivalry against

Victoria Pendleton. She is still going strong at 32. She retired once

and came back. Both higher and Becky James, we enjoy seeing, they do it

for the love of it and the result, it is what it is. -- both higher and

Becky James. We will see Anna Meares again in the women's sprint. She won

that in London. Silver medallist, representing Great Britain...

Rebecca James! Becky James, bronze medal in the World Championships

earlier in the year, that gave her belief. She was approaching her best

and she has gone one better in Rio with an Olympic silver medal. It is

just great to see her racing again and racing to such a high standard

that we all know that the former world champion is capable of. She

was not sure if she would come back after that injuries so to see her

here is incredible. This will not be the last that we see of her. I will

not be the last time we see her on a podium either. Gold medallist and

Olympic champion, representing the Netherland. -- representing the

Netherland. Elis Ligtlee! 22-year-old Elis Ligtlee has already

shown what a talent shears, silver medallist in the World Championships

in the spread last year, bronze in the 500 metre time trial in the

World Championships, but now she has landed the big one -- sprint. She

was not the favourite going into it, we knew she was capable, but you

would not have picked as the winner in the field. I do not think she

would. That is the beauty of the keirin, it is who spots the

opportunities and who has the legs. Ladies and gentlemen, the anthem

from the Netherland 's. She deserved that gold medal for the

way she took that raised by the scruff of the neck and asserted her

authority on it. She clung on at the end. Becky James on the left-hand

side smiling with that silver medal. And ears completing the podium at

the end of an excellent race. Elis Ligtlee adding the Olympic

title to four European titles she won earlier in the year. She

couldn't quite believe she hung on and won the race. Becky James,

unbridled joy at claiming an Olympic medal. And ears a little bit

disappointed she couldn't add to the two Olympic titles she is already

won over the years. Still competing at the very highest level. In a

sense she took the gold medal from Becky James because she made the

move from the back first, didn't she? If she hadn't gone, Becky James

would have gone, would have been a very different outcome. Fair play to

her. Gold medal for the Netherlands, and for Elis Ligtlee. STUDIO: The

smiling face of Becky James. Chris, she has been such a battler to come

back from injury. There is an ears, clearly loves her cycling, and it is

her life. -- there is an ears. We'll discuss Becky James in a moment.

Jill, who do you have with you? You've been celebrating watching

your team-mate collect that gold medal. You are one of the biggest

names of these games. We saw one of the most extraordinary pieces of Ike

handling earlier on in the keirin. It was bizarre, I was really happy I

didn't crash. I don't know what happened but I stayed up, it was

really weird. I'll let you look on the monitor if we can. I'm sure

you've seen it before. I've seen some. Pushed right up onto the

hoardings. What did it feel like? It was really coming close. I thought,

I don't want to crash there, because it's so dangerous. We've seen others

crashed theirs. I just knew I didn't need to crash there. Luckily I stand

up, so I was really happy with that. It was extraordinary, many had never

seen anything like it. You are reasonably new to cycling on the

track, because you are a speed skater. Yeah, I picked up some

skills, I'm happy with that. Thank you, we are delighted you came out

safely. I'll let you celebrate with the rest of your team-mates. Yeah,

I'm really proud of Elis, she raced incredibly, such a good race, she

did really good. Thank you very much indeed.

Very good to see her fine now. The Dutch in the road race... They've

some horrible faults. They have, the girl who won, Elis Ligtlee, she had

a terrible crash with Vicky Williamson at the start of the year.

Vicky came out of it worse. It's great to see her back. It shows some

of the most spectacular crashes can be not too bad. Some of the

innocuous ones can be serious. When there was that crash in the road

race, the Dutch went on to win. Crash in the preliminaries and they

go on to win gold. You know Becky James commune Lopez story. I think

she's now with Jill. -- you know Becky James, you know her story.

You've got the medal. Wonderful scenes on the podium. Yeah, over the

moon, it's still not sinking in, the whole race was a complete blur. I

can't actually believe it. What was the family saying when you were able

to talk to them after the race? They were over the moon, they didn't come

here with any expectations. It's been a long time since I've won

medals, I knew my form was good, I wanted to come in and do my best,

they were thrilled for me. I'll let you talk to some others, thank you

very much indeed, lovely smile on the podium. Thank you, thanks.

Hello, hello. Do you want to send a message to Georgiou is upstairs with

Clare I don't know what to say! See you later! -- a message to George.

Thank you for the support with my terrible mood swings! You've got

gloves as well, you say. Becky's sister is here as well, Ffion. She's

been through so much with injury in the last three years, she's worked

so hard. All of us know exactly what she's been through, it makes it mean

even more. We're so proud of her. It sums it up really. What did you make

of her performance tonight, for a while it looked like she might be

out of the medals completely. I don't know much about cycling. At

1.I thought, oh my God, what do I say? Fair play, she's worked so hard

for everything and today she deserves it. It's been a tough 18

months for her, very chuffed, very proud. How much does it help being a

sportsman yourself, understanding coming back from injury? It does

help, injury is a tough place, especially on your own, like Becky

is, it's taken a lot of hard work and dedication to it. Words can't

describe how proud I am. What's the plan now, celebrations, holiday? Bit

of a break? Jim Mallinder is watching, I'm training tomorrow.

I'll be celebrating, hopefully I get to see her for a bit, then back

tomorrow. Have you enjoyed it, this experience, or is it horrible? I'd

hated it, so nervous. I have loved it but I'm a terrible spectator.

You're proud of her, both of you, I'm sure. Thanks for coming on and

having a chat with us. Thanks to you both.

Chris Hoy knows all of these team members very well. Callum Skinner

was inspired to take up cycling by watching Chris Hoy at the 2004

Olympics. This is Chris Hoy helping him in his very early days of

learning to be a race rider. He was part of the Edinburgh racers cycling

club. He is about 12, doing a standing start, giving him tips. He

seems to have mastered it. He got on start no problem at team sprint, won

gold, hasn't done badly. He's into the gold medal for the individual

sprint as well. He face Jason Kenny or Denis Dmitriev? I firmly believe

Jason can win this, I think he's got his confidence back. He made an

error in the first ride. Ideally he wants to replicate the second ride,

ride from the back, create a gap, create height, rush at Amitri with

speed, not get drawn into an acceleration battle. -- the decider

for Jason Kenny, his opportunity to get himself into a gold medal race

tomorrow against his team-mate Callum Skinner. Can the defending

champion David, Simon? Listening to Chris it sounds as if Jason Kenny

has plenty to think about as he goes into the third and final ride.

Sudden death, there is the fatigue factor, an awful lot of sprinting

tonight. Both of these riders will want to be in the rear position. At

the moment it's Jason Kenny who has to lead. Perhaps we will see some

cat and mouse. Dmitriev composing himself in these

moments before the third and final ride. Callum Skinner of Great

Britain awaits in the final. Jason's fiance Laura Trott can hardly bear

to watch. This is it, he's got one shot to get himself into a gold

medal final. He and already the Olympic sprint champion, he won't

settle for anything else. -- being the sprint champion. He can't afford

to make a single mistake. Tactics have to work out. He's got the

speed. We know he can win this. But Dmitriev is a very wily customer. He

will be very happy sitting where he is at the moment. He has passed the

half lap mark, if you want to do a standstill, he could do that no, but

Dmitriev knows that might happen, so he's slowed down by riding up the

track. He, too, wants to stay at the back. He has the element of surprise

in a slipstream to use. Jason Kenny can win from the front, but he can't

make any mistakes. The margin for error here is extremely small. For

Jason Kenny. And for Denis Dmitriev, of course. Tied at 1-1 in this

best-of-3 semifinal. The slow pace adds to the tension, as we build up

to this momentous final sprint. It becomes a risk now going slow

because we've only got a lap and three quarters to go. He's resigned

himself to having to build up that speed or he could be caught out. Now

they start to wind it up and really get on top of the gear as they come

into the bell. Jason Kenny will take this one out from the front. Kenny

around the bottom of the track, just goes a little bit wide, Dmitriev try

to draw level, Jason Kenny needs to find that extra bit of speed. Into

the finishing straight, he's found it, he's done it, Jason Kenny into

the Olympic final! It's an all British final in the match sprint!

One of the blue ribbon events of track cycling. Gold and silver

guaranteed for Great Britain. It's going to be Callum Skinner against

Jason Kenny. And the bronze will be between Matt Phillips of Australia

and Denis Dmitriev of Russia. -- Matt Glaetzer. Kenny did the

bluffing this time, drew him in. It was phenomenal, the way he pulled

him in, left his acceleration this time till the back straight. When

Dmitriev came over the top he had more to give, once he had him on the

hit was all over. He was keeping it interesting. He is often done this

in the past, he has one lapse in concentration. He's done it again,

got it out of the way. What a relief. Two Brits in the final. I

mentioned at the start, did Kenny go high in the start of the sprint? It

was right at the beginning. I didn't see him impede his opponent's course

at all. We'll wait to see. I don't think he did anything untoward. It

depends how precise the judges wants to be. Laura's smile is back on her

face. It didn't go away for long, but it was very tense down there in

the track centre with so much at stake for those two cyclists. A

tremendous piece of work from Jason Kenny. What a final it's going to be

between these two. Two races to Jason Kenny, nothing untoward.

Looking down the middle of the judges panel, not having any

discussions, so we're on tenterhooks waiting to see if there are going to

be any issues. Looks like he's through and Great Britain guaranteed

a gold medal. Who will it be in the final? Callum Skinner has been very

impressive so far. 9pm tomorrow night will be the best

of three races. And all British affair for the first time since 2008

when Jason Kenny took an Chris Hoy. Do you think he broke any rules

there? When I watched first time I didn't see anything. He did come out

of the red line. We've seen it happen a couple of times already in

the competition and nothing has been done about it. In the last 200

metres he comes outside the line. It's minimal, but rules are rules.

As we mentioned, Vicky Pendleton got relegated for coming out for a

fraction in London. The judges are using a bit more discretion here,

being, did it affect the result, would Dmitriev have come around if

he hadn't done that, I think the answer is no. For that reason I

think the result will stand. A gold medal on day one. On day two, Day

three for the women's team pursuit, silver for Becky James and

guaranteed gold tomorrow. The head coach must be pretty proud, he's

with Jill. Very proud head coach Ian Dow, you've given yourself a

headache tomorrow, how will you manage? The last thing the coach

just said to me, are we going to push the boys out and let them race

tomorrow? I said, we'll think about that tonight, what a great problem

to have. Not the first time it happened, we saw in Beijing. I was

telling Justin about that before we got to Beijing it was my dream to be

able to push Chris and Jason out in the London Olympics together in the

sprint final, that was my professional ambition, a few weeks

later we did it in Beijing, quite unexpected and quite special. London

we never got the chance. Here again tomorrow, it'll be pretty special,

great afternoon to enjoy. A word on the performances of the pursuit team

and Becky James, another two medals tonight. The team pursuit women was

an awesome performance, we dismantled the USA. We knew they

would come out hard, we were pretty close to them even after the first

kilo. After that we were confident enough to come back. I didn't expect

to see them come back in such emphatic style, did a great job.

Becky James, the most emotional medal for me. It wasn't long ago

Becky was facing career threatening injuries. She is such a nice person,

such a solid professional. A real grafter. It just goes to show you

shouldn't give up on your dreams and it can come good for you.

Thank you. The most emotional medal was the one for Becky James, do you

agree? I do. It was so unexpected. After everything that has happened

to her, we almost come to expect from the team pursuit, the team

sprint was special, but for a silver medal, that was incredible. The

keirin was so exciting. Tomorrow we have the Omni on starting. Mark

Cavendish. Also, we will see Becky James again and Katie Archibald,

sorry, Katie Marchand. I think both the girls, you would not have said

they were medal prospects, not guaranteed, we have not won medals

in this since 2013 and Becky James and her quadruple medal haul, but

seem the belief they all have, Katie will have been watching this, she

will be lifted by it all and those riders, I would not bet against

them, based on what we have seen, we could get another medal in the

women's sprint. It is tremendous to watch. Thank you. Between now and at

midnight, myself and Mark Chapman will take you through some of the

highlights which is already turning into a Super Saturday. Here is what

is coming up. It was the last day of rowing. Could Great Britain go out

with a bang? The men's eight and the women's eight were in action. We

will see Andy Murray in the men's singles semifinal trying to earn a

place in the gold medal match. We will reflect further on events in

the Velodrome, it has been another very good night for British

cyclists. And we will set the scene for what could be a wonderful night

of athletics as the Super Saturday trio from London aim for a golden

repeat of what is turning into a sensational early hours of Sunday.

Tennis, we will look back on what happened to Andy Murray because he

was in action against Kei Nishikori and he knew he needed to win this

one if he was going to earn himself the right to defend his title. We

will join it with Andy Murray one set and 5-3 up and Kei Nishikori

serving to stay in the match. Your commentator is Simon Reade.

Kai Nishikori coach by Michael Chang who is not here, neither is Ivan

Lendl or Jamie Delgado. I do not know if there is a problem

therefore Kei Nishikori but he seems to be moving to his left, not able

to get any power on the backhand. Any power at all. Andy Murray, such

a keen watcher, will be all too aware of that.

But when he is in the zone, he can hit it well.

Well played, Nishikori, it he bounces first. He is hanging on by a

thread. The crowd doing all they can. Not

too many British fans here. The ones that are are quiet despite the

smooth course of Murray, it seems, moving towards the final.

Watching Nishikori you're always looking for signs of wear and tear.

I cannot see anything obvious, indeed he played that game well.

Murray has taken advantage. He has ignored the irritation of Carlos

Ramos. He is one game away from his third Olympic medal, along with the

silver medal with Laura Robson in London, the gold medal, beating

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, it was career changing, back in 2012.

Murray serving for the match with new balls.

Served out wide. That has been fruitful.

He has served remarkably well, 83% first serves.

That is as good a return as Nishikori has made in the match.

Couple of quick steps. Launching himself at that one.

Murray keeping control of the match, but in the end it was an unforced

error from Nishikori. It was a teaser, you would expect

Murray to take care of that. He launches it into the second serve

of Murray. Where has this kind of form been prior to this game with

macro three or four games? It is very late, but it is not too late.

Oh! Rally of the match, perhaps the rally of tournament! You have to

feel for Nishikori. What a sensational rally that was. Murray

will not be denied. Hopefully we will see a replay of

that later. It is match point number three.

Nishikori disappointing, but Murray, no blips today in their semifinal.

He is into his second successive Olympic singles final. Magnificent.

So it will be either a gold medal again or a silver medal for Andy

Murray. Didn't he play well? And he will meet Juan Martin Del

Potro who is coming back from another injury in top form, having

knocked out Novak Djokovic, he then beat Rafael Nadal in a deciding

third set, the match took three hours and eight minutes. Rafael

Nadal who won a medal in the men's doubles, fought hard but Juan Martin

Del Potro was too much for him. He said that that win was even more

special than when he won the US Open in 2009. He will fight for the gold

against Andy Murray. -- gold medal. Good evening, welcome to our

Copacabana bays in Rio de Janeiro, as you know by now. The Lagoa rowing

complex is a 15 Minute Drive on a good day. Today was the final day of

the regatta. Yesterday all British eyes were on the women's pair and

the men's four who both got gold. Today it was about the big beasts,

the eighth. We'll look at the women's race later on. First, here

is the men's. Nine men, one common gold, -- common

goal. They will have to bare their souls. If they do that, they know

they will be rewarded for it. Great Britain in lane three, mother right.

Alongside them, Germany. New Zealand sitting in lane number six. A

glorious sight. The blue ribbon event leaves the start here. 100

metres to go, the British have jumped out. Leading. The sense that

the crew is ahead of them, only two meters apart in the lane, they will

know that. This is where I expect Britain to be ahead, a 500 metres,

it's the second 500 that will determine this race. The big two

guns head-to-head at the moment. Your British eight, Scott Durham,

Tom Ransley, Andy Hodge, Matt Gotrel, Pete Reed, Matt Langridge.

Responsible for getting the British crew from gun to take. Stretching

long and loose here. They are right on the edge. At the 500 metres.

Let's see. Quarter of the race done. It is a Great Britain over Germany.

They start to stretch out. This next 100-150, they have to nail it.

Length, with, nail the speed. They will move to a quarter of a length.

All going the right way so far. They have a real with. Will Satch or

setting a nice rhythm. Stroke for stroke with the Germans. -- Satchel

setting a nice with. Four men up. This is the way to do it. The second

500 they can determine whether gold and silver medals will go. The

Germans are normally quick in their second 500. In the second 500 they

will lay down some big 250 metre pushes, where they can win the race.

Sorry to interrupt, a go there from Will Satch. Three quarters of a

length up here. This is the moment, stretch it out. Closing the door on

the Netherlands in lane number two to the right. Poland top of the

picture here. The United States of America in this race, New Zealand

lane number six. We're at the halfway mark. Great Britain by

almost one length, it's been a heavyweight duel in the first half.

The punches have all been coming from the British. Now into the third

500, surely they have done enough. They'll be starting to think it's

going our way. The Germans have matched them stroke for stroke. If

the boat speed is the same for the next two and a half minutes, that's

it, the medal is out of sight, the Germans have got to do something and

take a risk now. Germany being pushed on hard in lane number two.

Netherlands coming on strong. The Netherlands crew 20 years to the

day, give or take, Netherlands won the Olympic title in the men's

eight. Through 250. Tonnes of inspiration for the Netherlands.

Feel the speed... A glorious shot if you are British. Your bowel man in

the British aid, Scott Durant, it'll feel like he is miles ahead, this is

what they've worked for. -- in the British eight. The Americans are out

of the game, the Germans raising the Dutch for silver. They may come back

on the Brits, but the Brits laid it down in the first half. They are

reaping the benefits. Three quarters down, 500 metres remaining in this

final. The men's eight. Checking positions. Great Britain from

Germany from Netherlands. In the closing stages they see the rest of

the world coming back at them. Germany stepping up again. They have

to lay it down, be able to die for each other, keep it cool. Keep it

calm, keep it along, but stepped up all the time, keeping the door

closed. The British have to keep the door closed, don't give Germany or

the Netherlands a sniff at this. This is brilliant, they haven't

raced anybody else's race plan, they've raised fares, they have

fitness and strength and know exactly how to get from a- B quick.

I'm delighted. This is what they deserve, the way they've approached

this season is fantastic, the guts they have had to row their race in

the final is brilliant. 125 out from the line. Four words that will

strike fear into the hearts of any of the opponents, those are Great

Britain are strong. They are strong, they are long, the Germans now

giving it one last push, so, too, are Netherlands. Great Britain

hanging on, and they do with their heads up, their pride intact. Almost

there. Just the last couple of strokes, and it is Great Britain in

the men's, men's eight, they are the Olympic champions, it has a

fantastic ring about it. From month to take the whole way it was Great

Britain's race, they did not lose it at all in the closing 100. The fists

go up. Welcome to the club. It Olympic champion for you. And your

crew. Salute each and every one of you. You drove them home in style.

It was fantastic, absolutely fantastic. So different to four

years ago. Today we just controlled from the start. We've always shown

the raw speed in training. Today was about delivery, doing what we've

done. These guys were magnificent today, absolute gladiators. It's

been a long time coming, it feels a bit surreal. Finally, Olympic

champion. Three! That was the angriest, fiercest, most ruthless,

absolutely everything in that. It was very, very aggressive, I mean,

that was as fistfight as it comes, it was really good. Can't wait for

the national anthem. It's been great to win silver and bronze, it's

always been about this for me, about being Olympic champion, standing in

the middle of the podium getting the national anthem. I couldn't have

done it with a better group of guys. I've been in all different boats.

Nine guys going for one thing, plus the coaches, it's a great feeling.

Third time lucky, but it's all worth it. With Britain beating Germany for

the first time this year, it was time for all of the men to get the

top that podium, collect their gold medals, and listen to the national

anthem. ANNOUNCER: ladies and gentlemen, the anthem of Great

Britain. APPLAUSE

CHEERING ANNOUNCER: ladies and gentlemen, the

Olympic medallists. STUDIO: Every time we have medallists in, it's

fascinating to see how they react to what they've been watching. Starting

with you Tom, is at the first time you've seen it back? We watched the

race back when we got back to the hotel. We haven't seen the podium

stuff, so... Happy with everything on the podium, was it OK? Yeah,

quite surreal. It hasn't got any more normal watching it on TV. None

of you did a server and put your tongue out. This city was built to

hold nine people on it, in the planning, the idea was the Sethi was

built for the men's or women's eight, to include the Cox as well,

thank you for not letting us down, otherwise it would have looked

lonely. Did it go tactically as he wanted it to? I think today was our

perfect race, we've talked about it in the past, our coaches have talked

about it, and today the execution was down to the team. It's a

textbook way of winning, leading from the front, defending, we always

had it in control. It was these guys in the boat who really delivered

when it mattered. Andy, you spoke about the anger and ruthlessness on

the start line. Why were you angry, why was that feeling of

ruthlessness? Or eight, nine of us, including Juergen, we all had

something to prove today, it's been four years in the making, it's not

always gone to plan. We've had to fight tooth and nail through this

process. It's only fair to bring this on to the start line. It was

going to bring out something with the Naas that we needed for the race

today. -- within us. We've gone through the drills, we knew what to

do technically to make it happen. You need the fire, the spirit. Today

it was a magical mix of all of it. We all watched the last 500 again,

there is something to prove. It's interesting. You are an three

Olympic gold medals, but I assume as soon as you win one you feel you

have to prove something again, that what you're saying? I'm not right

now editorial -- I'm not saying right now. Maybe in rowing the

standard is set so high after Sir Steve and Zermatt. It discredits the

guys who just won their first Olympic gold medal if we say that.

-- Sir Stephen House Sir Matt. Is difficult to justify those reasons,

you make so many sacrifices. We've all got friends and family who

haven't seen us, all those things. To go forward is a very personal

thing, what are we looking at? Oh my God! Everybody sniggering! You are a

proper team, as soon as you see something where someone else is

looking ridiculous, you are straight in laughing at them. How hard is

putting the chemistry of eight people together? I've spoke into

pairs and fours during the Olympics, isn't it the hardest chemistry to

work at? For me it definitely is. The singles... If you can't get on

with yourself... For me, it's my third time in the eight. The

chemistry hasn't... It's hard to make a job... In this age it has

worked straight from the beginning, in that sense it has been an easy

ride. We may not have had the results go our way in the season,

but we've always had that belief. We always knew we could do it. We

really believed we'd get it right on the day, that gelled us together. In

that sense it's been quite easy. To reiterate, you hadn't beaten the

German boat this season. That's right? Yeah, the last three years we

have. That is when it counts. This was the big one, we teach this up,

even since London, it's been set in stone on the 13th, we're on. Doing

the job today with these guys is something really special. We'll get

the thoughts of more of the guys in a moment, we'll hear from Jurgen

Grobler just now, the head of men's rowing. Jurgen Grobler, another one.

Another one, number 12. Just fantastic what the guys did. Top

race. And they matched the coxless four in a wonderful way, really

good. Just fantastic. You've won 12 now, does it mean as much now as it

did for the first one? Of course. The last one counts most. It's

wonderful, it's wonderful. For British rowing. It's wonderful for

our sport. I feel so good for the guys. There's a good mix between

older ones and younger ones. It's fantastic. He's won medals as a

coach since 1972. Not in 1984 because a lot of the Eastern Bloc

countries didn't go to Los Angeles. What does he mean to you? The medal?

No, Jurgen you can do either, fine by me. He's demonstrated time and

time again is an exceptional coach. It's amazing. Everyone has their own

methodology for doing things. Juergen 's has been shown to be

incredibly successful. We've known him so well, we've spent so long

together. You say we have a really good team atmosphere in the boat but

across the whole squad we have a great atmosphere, including Juergen.

You can really tell the demented huge amount to him, he wasn't doing

himself justice, that was really important to him. That was the

message all along, that was really important to him, I feel proud to

have taken part in bringing it to fruition for him. Is he boat, stick

and carrot? -- is he both. Depends who it is, really. Who does he use

the stick with the most? Probably me. Actually, maybe Tom, Tom might

argue with him. His methods are something, you

cannot quantify how he gets the most out of everyone. It is little

things, things you probably do not notice. He has just got an eye and a

feel for it. He brings everything together, it is not just technical

aspects, it is creating atmosphere which allows everyone to do their

best and it breeds success. Are you all right if I do not ask you a

question? Tell me what the gold medal means to you. It is four

years, an amazing achievement. The people who were not in the boat,

everyone is a part of this. It has been an amazing ride.

Congratulations. Thank you for coming in. Go and enjoy your

evening. We might see you once more at the end. Congratulations. Thank

you. The men's eight, part of a Super Saturday across the Olympics

here in Rio, it is a Super Saturday that will extend into an early

Sunday morning. Every year that you do, it is all

towards the Olympics. As a young athlete, I wanted to be an Olympic

champion. If you can get it right, it is the most amazing and rewarding

moment of your life. The pride of Sheffield, the pride of Great

Britain, just again as is the Olympic champion! Ice dance short

Jessica Ennis-Hill. I knew it was what I wanted to do. Katarina

Johnson-Thompson has had three fouls, it is the end of her World

Championship. I am glad that it happened. It changed me. I

definitely underestimated how hard it would be coming back after having

my first child. Jessica Ennis-Hill is back on top of the world! My

target is Olympic gold. This will be my last Olympics but I am going to

give it everything. I think I have got the ability and I think I am

capable of doing it, I would love to defend my title and to see what the

future holds. Two women with an incredible array of skills right

across the different track and field events, could come down to the two

of them battling it out for the gold medal? Here is what has happened so

far. Katarina Johnson-Thompson had a lifetime best yesterday. She is in

fourth place. That is a decent jump. The white flag is raised. 6.50 one.

It is not great. Jessica Ennis-Hill. The leader overnight. A decent jump.

Into a pretty strong wind. A pretty good start for the reigning Olympic

champion. Nafissatou Thiam. That is massive. Decent jump for the

Canadian, Brianne Theisen Eaton. A big effort for Katarina

Johnson-Thompson. But it is a foul. Last round. It is not quite what we

would have wanted. Jessica Ennis-Hill, third jump in the long

jump, she needs a big jump here. The feat came down early. Here is the

reaction of her coach. Not happy. He knew that was a chance to put

daylight between her and the rest of the world. Here is Nafissatou Thiam.

6.1 eight. She likes it, 6.5 eight. That will give Jessica Ennis-Hill

something to think about. More than something to think about. Let us

catch up with Denise Lewis who has been following everything in the

heptathlon. How do you call it? How tight is it at the top? I would not

say it is impossible to call. It is difficult, but Jessica Ennis-Hill

needs to throw close to her best in the javelin. The young Belgian,

Nafissatou Thiam, has had a remarkable two days in the

competition and with that stunning long jump, personal best, anything

could happen. Heard javelin, she can throw over 52 metres, in the excess

of what Jessica has done before. Should she really hit a javelin,

then Jessica will have her work cut out. Let us look at the standings.

Two events to come, the javelin and the 800 metres later tonight. And

Nafissatou Thiam leading, Jessica Ennis-Hill second, Katarina

Johnson-Thompson is third, that is what they have done so far. Their

personal bests for the events tonight show that Nafissatou Thiam

has a huge advantage in the javelin but when it comes to the 800 metres,

that is not her strength. It is not her strength. How it will play out,

if she happens to catch one of those javelins, should Jessica not quite

throw it to her best, and let us say, there is an eight metre

difference, it would mean that Jessica has to run for her life.

Nafissatou Thiam has had a fantastic two days competition, her running

events have been steady, she had just short of her personal best in

the 200m and the hurdles, one would say that she is in good shape. If

there is a gold medal on the line, she will run for it. I will not say

that she will run 2.10, but she could run 2.15 and that is when

things could get exciting, but we have seen Jessica in the 800 metres,

when she needs to run, she can also take it up a notch. It is difficult

to call. You're asking me to predict what happens in sport, we cannot do

that. This javelin is very crucial. If they did all perform to their

personal bests, this is what could happen. One cannot absolutely

predict that they will, but that is what they are capable of that would

give Jessica Ennis-Hill victory and she would retain her title it would.

I'm comfortable in the fact and the knowledge, based on the type of

performer that Jessica Ennis-Hill is, that she will go out and do a

solid javelin. She will do enough and then she will just bring it home

in the 800 beaters. She will want to cross that line in first place and

retain her title, which will be a remarkable achievement. We have not

talked about Katarina Johnson-Thompson. At the start of

the championships, I was hoping and predicting that there might be to

British contenders on the podium, that has never been done before in a

heptathlon. I think that she needs to come of age in this competition,

show her mettle and throw a really good javelin because we know that

she can run a great 100 -- metres. It will be a fantastic finish. You

will be watching it. The javelin and the 800 metres to come. Those will

be late into the night, early hours of the morning for you at home but

definitely worth staying up for. Let us bring you some of the other

athletics headlines from earlier today. Usain Bolt admitted his first

action of the competition was sluggish but it did not stop them

cruising through the 100 metre heats.

The man expected to provide the biggest challenge to Usain Bolt,

Justin Gatlin got the fastest time in qualifying after getting 10.01

seconds. The other Great Britain sprinters had contrasting fortunes.

Ellington unfortunately did not progress. London 2012 Silber

medallist arrived in Rio with question marks over her form but she

looked impressive in qualifying from her heat behind the American Natasha

Hastings. British champion Emily Diamond went into the semi-finals

despite suffering with food poisoning. She progressed as a

fastest loser. Her 400 metre team-mate was not so lucky. She

finished last in her hate. She did not progress. And the men's discus

was a family affair, the German won gold at London 2012. This time

around, it was his younger brother who claimed the Olympic title. Here

are your key times from midnight, Jessica Ennis-Hill in second place

and Katarina Johnson-Thompson go in the javelin. Greg Rutherford then

begins the defence of his long jump title and then Mo Farah could win a

third Olympic gold of his career as he defends his title in the 10,000

metres final at three o'clock. It almost certainly will all come down

to that in the heptathlon, the 800 metres.

Will that ten minutes back Sarah took over to just about enough time

to take the men's eight out and replace it with the women's aid.

Thank you to all of you for coming in. Before we talk, they are giving

it away, before we talk about their silver medal success, let us watch

the last half of their race earlier. Canada over the USA, over the

Netherlands, the British go through, and the one worry is we know how

fast and New Zealand are in the second half. They were quick in the

second half in their heat. The Americans now are finding their

form, they have gone through Canada. The Dutch on the far side are still

right up there in the next. The British now will have to draw

themselves back, they are not out of it. Definitely coming through

strongly as they look back through the last 15 metres. They look at the

journey, an incredible journey that has brought these nine away --

amazing woman to the brink of an Olympic medal, it has never been

done for the women's in the women's eight. It is not about turning the

screw once, twice or three times, it is up and going, the moment is now,

they have to do this. Get yourself back into contention. Heads up and

then we will move on hard. They are coming up through New Zealand and

the next is the Dutch and then they are in the medals and the Canadians

are coming back. A silver medal is not out of the question. The

Americans are moving well. Cast all doubt aside as we go through to the

1500 metre mark, the Americans have gone and the great British crew are

into bronze medal position. They will not settle for that. They will

say that their 500 was good, they want that to be ours, we want to own

every stroke, an Olympic final. They are going quicker than Canada. The

Americans have got too much. The New Zealand team have had their ago.

Great Britain are in the silver medal position. This is brilliant

stuff for the British crew. At this point, as we head in, it is all

about giving it all, every stroke. This is your moment, Great Britain

and now they can put themselves into a position to start challenging.

They will not catch the United States of America, they will have to

watch out for Romania, because the Romanians are coming to the party.

The Romanians are coming to the party but I think they are a bit

late. They are pushing themselves. They are coming right back, dead

level. An! Great Britain three feet ahead of Romania, alt in front, the

USA, these are the moments we live for. The crowd are willing them on.

It is looking like it is going to be a silver medal. Trying on, girls!

They have done it! Sensational, absolutely sensational. The first

time the Great Britain have won an Olympic medal in the women's eight.

-- Great Britain women. A momentous day for British sport.

It is a remarkable achievement. Yes. I just sit there. It was a fantastic

race and watching it back. I was hoping they would not find out how

far down they were. I think it was incredible. They kept their heads

and they executed everything I asked from them and I could not be

prouder. Carnegie-Brown as long as I can see

someone near me, I think it's fine, I'm lucky, I sit quite far back in

the boat. She was telling me, what you're doing is good, this is how we

said we would row, we knew we could trust each other,... Kat Copeland

called you absolute badasses. You've been using the hashtag Sassy. Tell

us how tight the group you are. The eight isn't just as nine, it is

formed by so many women left behind at home, women over the years who

have helped us get to this point. We just have to make the unit because

there are so many women involved in this. Sassy came from Fran once, who

was a bit sassy in the boat. We clung onto that. We've got an

incredible group of girls. We are lucky and privileged to be sitting

in that both winning these medals with so many girls behind us. We're

really tight but we are formed of so many more women behind us. Sir David

Tanner earlier talked about how after standing and Glover won gold

in London that is when they saw a spike in girls taking rowing. --

Heather Stanning and Helen Glover. You expect something similar to

happen? I think so, rowing is an amazing sport, you get to hang out

with great guys like this every day all day stop I can't tell you how

much it has enriched my life to be able to achieve this silver medal

around my neck. And meet these girls and formed friendships and bombs we

have. You get Windows -- you get to visit incredible places. Christ the

Redeemer beaming down as we start the race, in what other sport will

you get that? We're very privileged. Can you give us an insight into what

the training day was like a month before Rio, if you had a typical

training day. What is today? LAUGHTER

Rowers train a lot. Our coach has a pretty set programme. Every Monday

it would be long row, Munro, weights. Tuesday, long Road, Long

Road, weights. Wednesday, row, long row, weights. -- 2-1. We were in

that heavy training, building milage in the legs. The King to build up.

-- long row. How long is a long row? Maybe two

hours. That is a long row. I'll struggle to get everybody in to

talk. Do you feel this is just the start? Absolutely. The momentum will

build from here, it's been building already. It's been building all the

years the women's eight has been participating at the World

Championships, Olympics. This is just the start of the medals. We'll

continue to succeed. We'll be back to the drawing board, a whole new

load of girls will be involved with that. I'm sure many of us will be

returning as well, you never know. There is competition for places,

strength in depth. Every year to be retested, back to the drawing board,

even if it's successful. Each year you will want to find the fastest

combination. Thank you for coming in, congratulations. You are going

from strength to strength. I'm sorry I couldn't get everyone in, sorry!

It's been a remarkable regatta as far as Team GB is concerned, here

are sights and sounds from the past few days.

Everything that has gone before is now irrelevant. This is a

sensational performance. As a silver medal. They are way, good luck

Helen, luck Heather. This is an imperious display. They are history

makers here again. They go out hard, they go out fast, they'll start to

move again, five in a row now for Great Britain. They are the Olympic

champions. The moment is now, they've got to do this. They are in

silver medal position. From gun to take sensational. The blue ribbon

event leads the start, all going the right way. It's been a heavyweight

duel. Great Britain are the Olympic champions. That has a fantastic ring

about it. It has a fantastic ring about it and we can take a look at

how Great Britain's Meadowhall has developed over the years in the

Olympics. -- medal haul. The remarkable London when there were

nine. We've got five year, three gold - silver. More gold than

Beijing, not as many runs. The overall target was six, but now is

not the time to talk UK lottery funding and where we go. Fran, this

is your fifth Olympics. It is. You are the perfect person to tell us

all how you think rowing has changed just in your time. I'm incredibly,

so fortunate, I started rowing in 1991. In 1996 someone came to my

school and said, I've been to the Olympics. It's an incredible thing

to do, I thought, that's what I want to do. Lottery funding came in in

1997, it has enabled me to pursue my dream and achieve these three silver

medals. There's no way I could have done it without that, to be able to

train all those hours Zoe was describing, every day. That's what

we have to do to win medals. That is the only reason I've been able to do

this. The list of people to thank is there for so long I could never even

start. There is Copacabana and if any Meta go and explore, go and

celebrate your success. -- there is Copacabana and Ipanema to explore.

Let's look forward to what is still to come.

A story of human movement. This looks easy. It has been anything

but. 1983, the start. Twin boys are born

in Mogadishu, Somalia. Eight years later, one twin moves to London. He

loves football. Running. Running wince. There are setbacks. A

disappointing performance by Mo Farah. Successes. Is destroying them

in the home straight, double European champion. He changed,

changed routine, coach, changed everything. He must move to move

faster. Is he ready now? Is this the time, is this the place? Is kicking

again, Farah is going for it, it's cold! It is. -- it's gold. These are

mole now is -- these are Mo nights and these are Mo town. Sticks it

away, as expected. Our monumental Mo. Mo Farah is best, Mo Farah is

world champion again. Five world titles, simply sensational. What

comes next in this story? Already among the greats. Can he now pulled

clear? Rio Mo. Go Mo. Let's talk a little bit more about

what Mo Farah could achieve this evening here in Rio. Paula Radcliffe

is at the Olympic Stadium. We've already had over the last 48 hours

all sorts of British sportsmen and women setting individual records for

medal hauls across Olympics. Mo Farah could become athletics

first-ever triple Olympic champion, do you think he'll do it? He's

definitely in shape to do it, it's a huge achievement if he does that. It

really has to be underlined because we've been so used to Mo Farah just

going out and winning and winning a double, we almost take it as giving

it a happen. It would be a huge achievement to have held since 2012,

World Championships 2013 and 2015, and to come here and do that. I

think he can do that and he's in shape to do it, he has the fear

factor and dominance over the rest of the field. I think they know what

they have tried to beat him. I don't know if they are capable of doing

it. How much does the fear factor play a part, the psychological

warfare? This plays a huge amount in lots of ways. The confidence it

gives to Mo, because he knows he's in as good a shape he's been in. He

has everything in his arsenal to be able to go out there and win a race

which ever way they try and beat him. It's a huge plus for him, a

huge negative for the others. The others know what they have to do,

they know how hard it is, they have to really take it out to him and try

and break Mo Farah. They may break themselves and sacrifice all chance

of a medal. I don't know they have it within them to get organised

enough to do that and lay it on the line enough to even try to take the

race to him. Do you think his biggest threat comes from an

individual? An individual race. Do you think it could come from a

country? A couple of countries? Ganging up on him? Is it possible?

It is possible but I think the organisation that would take, given

within that you have the battle between Kenny and Ethiopia, they

don't want to help each other, they want to be the first Kenyan or

Ethiopian athlete, make sure they win that team race. To get

themselves together enough to do that, then to have people in shape

enough to do that. Within the Kenyan team you've got Jeffrey, who gave it

everything, beat Mo Farah in the half marathon earlier this year.

This isn't a half marathon, this is track. When he tried to do it last

year in Beijing he wasn't able to do it, it's already one mental tick

against Mo, and one negative for Jeffrey. Maybe they can work

together. They tried that in the world marathon Championships. It

comes down to an individual in the end, is one person going to

sacrifice their chance of a medal to help somebody else? I don't think

they have that organisation. Are you aware they may be tactics working

against you? Or are you so concentrated on your own individual

plan, so you are in a bubble? You absolutely have to be aware. Mo is

under no illusions, he knows he is there to be shot at, he knows there

is nothing Kenya and Ethiopia would love more than to beat Mo Farah on

the track. He knows that. He has huge faith in the training he put

in, I've seen some of that training over the last couple of months, he's

in great shape, not like he's trying to hang on and retain four over the

last four years, he's built on that. His strong. He's a happier and more

stable person this year, he knows he's done everything he can, he's in

the best shape of his life, that is very hard to beat. Thanks very much,

enjoy the evening India Lee big stadium as part of Super Saturday.

Let's go straight to Clare in the Olympic Park, keeping an eye on

tennis. I keep hearing huge roars from the tennis stadium, forgery go

could be about to win their first ever Olympic gold medal. Monica

Kamworor is leading 5-1 against Angelique Kerber. Angelique Kerber

came in as Australian open champion, Wimbledon runner-up, hot favourite.

Monica Puig of Puerto Rican won the first set 6-4, Angelique Kerber took

the second 6-4, now curb is 5-1 down. Puig is serving for the gold

medal. Some return from Kerber, really

rifled that across. Kerber has been in this predicament, she knows how

nervous she has been when serving for the Australian open for example.

She will have an insight into how Monica Puig feels right now. And

what to do in response. She was ready for it. And she

delivered. She was increasing the pressure on Monica Puig.

She was just a little bit careful there, but still got it done.

So cute, again, though brain working so clearly, even in a cauldron of an

atmosphere like this. Third break point.

I'll! Well the shout out from the crowd did not help. I think it was

one of the Germans. And Monica Puig, somehow, survives in this game.

Almost did the splits in this game in defence, but so resilient,

mentally, Angelique Kerber cannot believe she made that mistake. But

it was excellent but she did not have any obvious immediate rejoinder

to the shout out from the crowd. Lot of shaking of the head going on,

break point number four. There has been no change in her

attitude, she sees it and she had said. There has been no semblance of

any nerves. Angelique Kerber is playing it back against the wall

tennis. Discusses -- dismissive dispatch

from Monica Puig, very assured, match point number two.

So close, well played Angelique Kerber for keeping as much going.

There was almost a nonchalance about the way the German play that point.

It was brilliant, nonetheless -- keeping this match going. -- played

that point. Yes! Again, no holding back,

clinical hurting. -- hitting. It seems like they want this to

continue. Quite a view here, we were just about to do the net!

The spirit is still very much therefore Angelique Kerber. Surely

this, the longest game of the match. It is pivotal.

What a gamble on that second serve. She went after that like a first.

Break point number six for the German.

Amazing! This match is something that just keeps on giving. Skills of

the highest order there with the drop shot, it is phenomenal, the

angle and speed with which she hit it, remarkable! Fans lusting after

more. Yes! Again, no doubt in her mind,

she was going all out for that. Gold medal point number four.

I still thought she was not going to hang on. What a tense final game,

but Monica Puig has won Puerto Rican's first ever Olympic gold

medal. They will be celebrating. Look at her, explosion of the

motion, she is also the first ever unseeded Olympic champion. Since

tennis was reintroduced in 1988. Wonderful moment. For Monica Puig

and poetry go, for tennis. Fabulous stuff, that is light, that has just

happened on Centre Court -- forgery go. We will see Andy Murray faith

Juan Mata -- Juan Martin Del Potro tomorrow. Here are some of the other

headlines. Great Britain have high hopes for Joe Joyce in Rio and it is

so far so good, he beat Dos Santos and that was a short while ago,

victory for Joe Joyce. Brendan Irvine from Ireland lost his men's

flyweight round of 32 bouts against the powerful Uzbekistan fighter.

Stephen Donnelly went the same way losing a split decision in his fight

against the Moroccan number one. Great Britain 's Justin Rose will

head into the fourth and final round of the golf tomorrow with a 1-shot

lead from the open champion Henrik Stenson. Justin Rose got a hole in

Cala three Eagles to end the 12 under par. After four wins, Great

Britain rounded off their group stage campaign against the USA with

another win. They were 1-0 down and came back before Alex scored four

minutes before full-time. There was a gold medal in the Velodrome,

another one as well in the rowing and a couple of silver medals. Great

Britain are currently third in the medals tables, United States are

top, it Michael Phelps contributed four medals. Great Britain are

third, Germany bear with eight gold medals as well. Time for a quick

reflection on the Velodrome. We saw Becky James win a silver medal in

the keirin, what did you make of it? It was electric. I was confident

with all of those guys but the women's team pursuit, they were so

strong in qualifying and then they were knocking down the world record.

The USA came back into the second of the world record time. Then Team GB

came back and took another massive chunk of two finish with another

record. A great time an incredible experience. We have a guaranteed

gold medal tomorrow because the final of the men's individual sprint

will be Jason Kenny against Callum Skinner. A win-win situation. They

might as well put it on the medal table now. So exciting, great to see

Jason Kenny back in his original form but incredible to see Callum

Skinner, there are so many doubts in his performance, would he be up to

shape, totally delivered, coming into the sprint, incredibly

dominant, it will be an exciting final. It will be sensational

tomorrow. We will get to see Mark Cavendish. We will let you know

about another gold medal which is almost certainly guarantees, Giles

Scott has a lead in the fin. He is trying to win that event in place of

Ben Ainslie. Jason mohamid is going to take you through the night as

Super Saturday turns into sensational Sunday morning. When I

meet somebody for the first time, people tell me where they were.

People want to be a part of that night. That moment of crossing the

line and having family there. The atmosphere was incredible. Something

I have never experienced. Just knowing that I had put all those

events together, it had all gone right, an amazing feeling. That's

gold medal, amazing. Did that really happen?
