Day 8 Highlights

:00:53. > :01:03.Could this be the greatest night in special athletics history? The

:01:04. > :01:11.stadium erupts! Everyone is on their feet. It has been four years since a

:01:12. > :01:15.symphony of sound resonated around the Olympic stadium. Can you believe

:01:16. > :01:25.what is happening? They called it super Saturday. Three athletes...

:01:26. > :01:32.Here goes Jess, Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford. Three gold medals. It is

:01:33. > :01:39.a perfect day for Jessica Ennis. Greg Rutherford is the Olympic

:01:40. > :01:46.champion. Mo Farah, it is gold! Oh, yes! That night, in our minds, they

:01:47. > :01:50.became superheroes. Three gold medals for Great Britain. What a

:01:51. > :01:59.night. But these three are just like you and me. Day in, day out, working

:02:00. > :02:10.hard at their jobs. Training like they mean it. And now, four years

:02:11. > :02:15.on, this everyday graft, this routine, might just result in a most

:02:16. > :02:27.magical of repeats. The unmistakable Michael Johnson

:02:28. > :02:34.setting the scene for what could be an historic night at these, the

:02:35. > :02:38.Games of the 31st Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. That is the Olympic

:02:39. > :02:43.stadium where so much drama will be played out tonight. We're in for a

:02:44. > :02:47.treat. Hello, good evening to you and welcome back to the Copacabana.

:02:48. > :02:54.This could be the biggest night of the greatest show on earth so far.

:02:55. > :02:57.Four years after London 2012, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Greg Rutherford

:02:58. > :03:04.and Mo Farah go for gold in yet another Super Saturday.

:03:05. > :03:10.Jessica Ennis-Hill proved last year she is the Queen of multi-event

:03:11. > :03:15.athletics, winning the world title 13 months after giving birth to a

:03:16. > :03:19.baby boy. She has shown that when the competition is on, she's

:03:20. > :03:24.ruthless, striking fear into the rivals. She enters the final two

:03:25. > :03:28.events in the heptathlon, just five points behind the leader. If she

:03:29. > :03:34.wins tonight, Jess becomes the first British female track and field

:03:35. > :03:36.athlete to retain an Olympic title. But Britain's Katarina

:03:37. > :03:46.Johnson-Thompson also in the mix and lives third. -- and lies third. As

:03:47. > :03:50.the Greg Rutherford, he qualified in tenth place that night's long jump

:03:51. > :03:56.final but he is also a big game player and he has won every title

:03:57. > :04:01.going. He, like Jess, raises his game. He has a brilliant smile and

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

:04:03. > :04:16.determined competitor. And as for Mo Farah, unbeatable

:04:17. > :04:21.since 2012, he has won everything and won everything. The aura of

:04:22. > :04:26.invincibility, of a world-class athlete. His rivals have not found a

:04:27. > :04:31.way to beat him, no matter how hard they have tried. The man has simply

:04:32. > :04:35.run away from them. Arguably one of the greatest sports men or women

:04:36. > :04:39.Britain has ever produced. Tonight he bids to retain his 10,000 metre

:04:40. > :04:45.title and become once more the Olympic champion.

:04:46. > :05:01.This is how we are lining up few tonight.

:05:02. > :05:11.Jess has a stronger throw in the javelin and KJT, on paper.

:05:12. > :05:19.There is not much to choose between all men's long jump finalists. Then

:05:20. > :05:23.Mo Farah could win a third gold of his Olympic career as he races in

:05:24. > :05:28.the 10,000 metre final. You need to be awake for the final event of the

:05:29. > :05:34.heptathlon at 3am. The 800 metres could be a golden 44 Jess and a

:05:35. > :05:38.victory for KJT. It will be tense and another great night and a great

:05:39. > :05:40.chapter in great British sporting history. We could be talking about

:05:41. > :05:56.this for years to come. This is what the Olympic Games are

:05:57. > :06:00.all about. It is nights like these, we dream about them. Sit back, relax

:06:01. > :06:02.and enjoy not just track and field but also a very big night in the

:06:03. > :06:14.swimming. Just after 2am, Fran Halsall goes in

:06:15. > :06:29.the blink and you will miss it 50 metres freestyle final.

:06:30. > :06:35.World champions Great Britain and golden boy Adam Peaty, good to see

:06:36. > :06:39.him again, back in the team and aiming to dethrone the United

:06:40. > :06:43.States. Press the red button later for uninterrupted swimming coverage,

:06:44. > :06:49.from 2am when the session starts. Mark Foster and Helen Skelton. That

:06:50. > :06:53.is your viewing for this evening. Before we go to the track and field,

:06:54. > :07:02.let's remind you of all to night's headlines. Great Britain's men's

:07:03. > :07:10.eight made their mark in Sydney in 2000 after a dominant performance at

:07:11. > :07:14.the Lagoa. For the women's apes, a silver medal in the event, making

:07:15. > :07:22.sure the GB rowers ended the Rio Regatta with five medals, five

:07:23. > :07:29.silvers and two dolts. -- gold medals. Laura Trott, the first

:07:30. > :07:33.British female Olympian to win three Olympic gold medals. They took a

:07:34. > :07:39.dominant victory over the United States. Becky James also claiming

:07:40. > :07:44.silver. Reigning champion Andy Murray secured his spot in the men's

:07:45. > :07:49.singles final with a dominant victory over Japan's Kei Nishikori.

:07:50. > :07:55.Juan Martin Del Potro is the man who will stand in Murray's way. The

:07:56. > :07:59.Argentinian 2009 US open champion beating Rafa Nadal in today's other

:08:00. > :08:06.semifinal. What a day we have had in Rio. Britain's World Championship

:08:07. > :08:11.bronze-medallist Joe Joyce began his superheavyweight Rio campaign in

:08:12. > :08:21.style, putting Dos Santos Morais on the canvas on route to a dominant 69

:08:22. > :08:25.victory. Justin Rose will head into the fourth and final round of the

:08:26. > :08:29.golf tomorrow with a 1-shot lead over Henrik Stenson. He enjoyed a

:08:30. > :08:35.day to remember after hole in one in the first round after he carded two

:08:36. > :08:41.eagles and three holes to end the day 12 under par. You are completely

:08:42. > :08:44.up-to-date with the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. It is time for track

:08:45. > :08:53.and field and Super Saturday Mark two. When I meet someone for the

:08:54. > :08:56.first time, a lot of people tell me where they were on Super Saturday.

:08:57. > :09:02.People want to remember being part of that night. That moment of

:09:03. > :09:06.passing the line, just having my family the... The atmosphere was

:09:07. > :09:12.incredible, something I have never experienced in my entire life. I

:09:13. > :09:13.know that putting all those events together, it had all gone right, an

:09:14. > :09:39.amazing feeling. It did and we still talk about it

:09:40. > :09:44.four years on. People ask still, where were you, what did you feel?

:09:45. > :09:48.We may be in from all of those feelings to night, stay with us for

:09:49. > :09:52.the next few hours because it promises to be an electric athletics

:09:53. > :09:56.meet this evening. So much to look forward to and I am doing it in the

:09:57. > :10:00.company of Michael Johnson, Denise Lewis and Paula Radcliffe. I wonder

:10:01. > :10:05.how nights like this affect you guys, does it help you tap into your

:10:06. > :10:11.own golden and wonderful Olympic moments? Any time the Olympics come

:10:12. > :10:17.around, you start to think about those days and harking back to those

:10:18. > :10:22.days. This is the 20th anniversary for the 1996 Olympics so there has

:10:23. > :10:25.been lots of revisiting those days. Then you get here and look out and

:10:26. > :10:32.see what these athletes are going through and it does take you back to

:10:33. > :10:36.those days and those tense moments. But of course the celebration as

:10:37. > :10:41.well. The hard work, the late nights, early mornings, the pain

:10:42. > :10:46.that you have to endure to get here. LAUGHTER

:10:47. > :10:52.We used to miss that? LAUGHTER We always say that once an Olympian,

:10:53. > :10:56.always an Olympian. That is the feeling you get when you are back in

:10:57. > :11:00.the arena. No matter where you are in the world. You are connected,

:11:01. > :11:06.that emotion, the first time Olympians, what they go through, the

:11:07. > :11:11.agony, excitement, and the more experienced athletes, could this be

:11:12. > :11:18.the last one? It is so much emotion. It is a privilege to be just

:11:19. > :11:22.enjoying it. The race you will be most across this evening, Mo Farah

:11:23. > :11:25.will make history. We say that quite a lot and then somebody comes along

:11:26. > :11:30.and the next week makes their own history but this is something that

:11:31. > :11:34.will take a long time to eclipse. This is huge and I think just

:11:35. > :11:41.because of what he has achieved so far, we think it is just a given, Mo

:11:42. > :11:46.will come out and nobody will beat him and he will stroll around the

:11:47. > :11:52.10000 and 5000 K. It will be a huge achievement you have done that. In

:11:53. > :11:56.the days of Haile Gebrselassie, he had to run heats and Mo Farah

:11:57. > :12:00.doesn't have to do that. But it is still a huge thing to have held it

:12:01. > :12:05.for that long. Let's get on and bring you up to speed with the

:12:06. > :12:11.heptathlon. After Day 1, it was a fantastic day and we had the one and

:12:12. > :12:15.two with Jess and KJT. Thiam also the Belgian putting up a fantastic

:12:16. > :12:16.fight. This is what has happened today and got us to where we are

:12:17. > :12:33.right now. Katarina Johnson-Thompson had a

:12:34. > :12:36.lifetime best first yesterday. That is a decent long jump for Katarina

:12:37. > :12:44.Johnson-Thompson. The white flag is raised. 6.51 in Round 1. Jess

:12:45. > :12:50.Ennis-Hill, the leader overnight. A decent jump. 6.34, into a pretty

:12:51. > :12:57.strong wind. Good start for the reigning Olympic champion. Nafi

:12:58. > :13:05.Thiam, it is massive, look at that. It must have been over the board and

:13:06. > :13:10.indeed it is. That is a valid jump, 6.48. Decent jump for the Canadian.

:13:11. > :13:15.Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the second round, it is a big effort but

:13:16. > :13:19.it is a fowl unfortunately. Johnson-Thompson, last round. It

:13:20. > :13:24.isn't quite what we would have wanted. Jessica Ennis-Hill, third

:13:25. > :13:32.jump in the long jump. She needs a big jump. The feat came down early.

:13:33. > :13:36.Here is Toni Minichiello's reaction, not happy. He knew that was a chance

:13:37. > :13:45.to put daylight between her and the rest of the world. Nafi Thiam. That

:13:46. > :13:51.is better. She likes it. It is 6.58, and that will give Jess Ennis-Hill

:13:52. > :13:56.something to think about. GABBY LOGAN: That really change things

:13:57. > :14:00.because Thiam's jump at the end of the session has put the cat amongst

:14:01. > :14:04.the pigeons. There we can see what has happened so far, the story so

:14:05. > :14:12.far and the personal best with the events tonight. Denise Lui the

:14:13. > :14:19.javelin speaks volumes. Thiam has a lifetime best far in excess of

:14:20. > :14:23.anything Jess or Katarina has done. That will swing the pendulum in her

:14:24. > :14:29.favour. She is only five points ahead of Jess at the moment. There

:14:30. > :14:32.are 800 metres is weak. You would expect Jessica Ennis-Hill and

:14:33. > :14:39.Katarina to do real damage and if they have to run for medals at this

:14:40. > :14:47.stage,... Let's overlook what would happen if they all performed to the

:14:48. > :14:52.PB 's. The points total would be fast and so they all have to be

:14:53. > :15:00.giving it maximum. For Thiam, she's the one the personal bests. She has

:15:01. > :15:04.eclipsed the British girls. Johnson-Thompson hasn't, she has

:15:05. > :15:09.been below par. A long way to go even know there are only two events

:15:10. > :15:13.to go but things can change, things can swing throughout the evening.

:15:14. > :15:24.Steve Backley is out there across the javelin competition.

:15:25. > :15:31.First up in this first pole, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the

:15:32. > :15:36.leaders will go in the second pool, the champion from us, pretty much

:15:37. > :15:39.all the main contenders other than Katarina Johnson-Thompson or in the

:15:40. > :15:43.second pool. It is a chance from Kat to get a mark on the board, get a

:15:44. > :15:49.distance out there, and give the leaders something to think about.

:15:50. > :15:57.She is a 40-metre plus javelin throw at her best. Something close to that

:15:58. > :16:01.would be good -- 14. It is below 40 metres, the point went away from her

:16:02. > :16:08.head. Showed all of the javelin to the all coming -- oncoming air and

:16:09. > :16:12.it didn't fly. It goes almost vertical, doesn't go forward when it

:16:13. > :16:16.is like that. But that is fixable, is the good news. The bad news is

:16:17. > :16:22.that it is identical to all of her warm up throws.

:16:23. > :16:29.STUDIO: So things didn't start particularly well for her. Denise,

:16:30. > :16:32.you were watching and kind of wincing, actually, and thinking, no,

:16:33. > :16:37.that doesn't look right. Tell us why? It's just not good enough at

:16:38. > :16:41.the moment. You heard Steve talk about the technical points. She

:16:42. > :16:45.needs to throw through the javelin. She is getting the separation but

:16:46. > :16:49.she is not actually utilising any momentum she is creating. The

:16:50. > :16:54.javelin is just hitting the air and stalling. She is bouncing up and

:16:55. > :16:59.down but she needs to be attacking javelin to get any drive to get it

:17:00. > :17:04.out of that 40-metre line. She can do this. It's not like this is a

:17:05. > :17:09.difficult event for her. All the emotion, the technical elements, are

:17:10. > :17:14.just not quite right -- all the motion. I know her body language is

:17:15. > :17:18.something you are quite to student off, Michael. Is she looking nervous

:17:19. > :17:22.and apprehensive tonight? I don't think it is nervous, I think it is a

:17:23. > :17:27.lack of confidence and they lack of real drive that, hey, I know what to

:17:28. > :17:32.do, I've worked on this and gotten it right before. It means that I

:17:33. > :17:41.can, now I have to impose my will on myself and this javelin to get the

:17:42. > :17:43.technique right. And I was talking with Steve about this earlier, I

:17:44. > :17:46.think that, you know, you was talking about the same thing that

:17:47. > :17:48.Denise said. This doesn't take away from your training from other

:17:49. > :17:51.things, so why wouldn't you do it more often? I thought, you know,

:17:52. > :17:55.that makes so much sense that I would imagine that she is doing it

:17:56. > :17:59.more often, she is working on it. What happens with many athletes is

:18:00. > :18:03.they get to the championships, and then once they are in a pressure

:18:04. > :18:08.situation, they go back to, I'm just going to throw it, I've got to it

:18:09. > :18:11.hard. They go to the same place. What great athletes know and trust,

:18:12. > :18:17.there are photos of them. But in this case it is not an athleticism

:18:18. > :18:21.that gets the javelin, you have to trust the technique. -- their

:18:22. > :18:25.athleticism. She's not trusting the technique. She needs to have the

:18:26. > :18:29.confidence to throw more in competitions, and she doesn't do

:18:30. > :18:35.that. She is next up to throw shortly. Steve, if you were there to

:18:36. > :18:38.lend us a bit of your expertise, you can tell what we are talking about,

:18:39. > :18:44.we've all been bending your ear today about this. Your thoughts on

:18:45. > :18:48.that first throw? The guys have said the mole, I just want to see a

:18:49. > :18:52.bitter fight. The Katarina Johnson-Thompson that we see in high

:18:53. > :18:57.jump, bouncing around and looking optimistic. -- a better fight. There

:18:58. > :19:01.is a questioning in her eyes, she doubts herself before she even takes

:19:02. > :19:06.to the runway. I want to see her running and give it a. Through all

:19:07. > :19:11.the technical stuff away and give it an absolute almighty lash. They can

:19:12. > :19:16.go to the same place as Michael was talking about, because they have

:19:17. > :19:18.one. Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Looking to improve on the 36 metres,

:19:19. > :19:29.the right elbow. A huge stall there. She knew that

:19:30. > :19:33.everything we've all been talking about so far, she knows it, she is

:19:34. > :19:39.just struggling to do it. There is the frustration. Founded with her

:19:40. > :19:45.feet, that won't be measured. She is so frustrated right now. A bronze

:19:46. > :19:49.medal, she is in the bronze medal position going into this, the

:19:50. > :19:54.ultimate event in the hat tough one, remember that. It is living from her

:19:55. > :20:00.grasp. -- in the heptathlete. She is going to need more than 36 metres.

:20:01. > :20:03.That just stalled badly, meaning that the point went straight up in

:20:04. > :20:09.the air and came straight back down again without going forwards. And,

:20:10. > :20:13.Mike, that must be frustrating for him as well. They've worked so hard

:20:14. > :20:17.to get this right, but as Michael was saying, under pressure this is

:20:18. > :20:24.where small cracks turn into crevices. I don't know where she

:20:25. > :20:27.goes from here in the third round to salvage this javelin competition.

:20:28. > :20:35.Put so much pressure on her 800 metres, maybe too much pressure.

:20:36. > :20:43.Technical pointers now are... Crikey, do they work? Questioning,

:20:44. > :20:47.bouncing. Difficult situations Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Steve,

:20:48. > :20:51.she doesn't have long, this group is moving quite quickly. She has a

:20:52. > :20:55.conversation going on with Mike, she is going to go away for a few

:20:56. > :20:59.minutes and have a thing. What can she do? You said lash it, she did

:21:00. > :21:04.the opposite there and went up and down. What can she do? It is an

:21:05. > :21:08.instinctive thing for a thrower who is an instinctive, natural thrower.

:21:09. > :21:12.The challenge is if you're not, if you're doing it deliberately, which

:21:13. > :21:17.is what Kat is doing, she's been taught the javelin, it is not

:21:18. > :21:21.somebody like Nafi Thiam, another contender for the title here.

:21:22. > :21:25.Indeed, we see her throbbing in the second pool, she is a natural

:21:26. > :21:31.thrower, -- throwing in the second ball. When the chips are down, you

:21:32. > :21:35.can on the movement patterns which just come naturally -- draw on.

:21:36. > :21:39.Nothing is coming naturally to Katarina Johnson-Thompson because it

:21:40. > :21:43.just doesn't for her. This is awful for her, the second throw was way

:21:44. > :21:47.worse than the first. She is clearly carrying some pain in that elbow,

:21:48. > :21:51.maybe she is protecting something which is adding more combinations

:21:52. > :21:55.for her going on inside. I desperately feel for her. What more

:21:56. > :21:59.complications. We don't know how much more, you know, the contenders

:22:00. > :22:06.for the bronze medal are in the second pool. But close to 40 metres,

:22:07. > :22:09.we suspect, is needed. Nafi Thiam and forget Ennis-Hill are going in

:22:10. > :22:16.the second group which goes off at about 150 May. -- 115A. The first

:22:17. > :22:23.medal on the track tonight is the 400 metres semifinals. Which Michael

:22:24. > :22:27.will be expertly viewing from up here. But down on the track it will

:22:28. > :22:33.be Andrew Cotter's eyes that will look at the first of those

:22:34. > :22:36.semifinals. Good evening, Andrew. Good evening, good conditions, dry

:22:37. > :22:42.and warm and not too much breeze. Some of the times have been down,

:22:43. > :22:46.perhaps not a particularly quick track here in Rio. There is LaShawn

:22:47. > :22:51.Merritt. Three athletes have established themselves as the men to

:22:52. > :22:59.beat in the 400 metres. Two of them go here. The Olympic champions from

:23:00. > :23:10.the last two games. This is the full line-up.

:23:11. > :23:30.Javon Francis of Jamaica, LaShawn Merritt.

:23:31. > :23:37.Lalonde Gordon, bronze-medallist in London, looked quite good. But the

:23:38. > :23:49.calibre of athletes here, and only two go through automatically. And

:23:50. > :23:52.there is Kirani James, still only 23, but took the Olympic title in

:23:53. > :23:57.London. Although since then he has not had quite the same success. He

:23:58. > :24:01.watched Merritt take the World Title in 2013. Wayde van Niekerk is the

:24:02. > :24:14.other member of the big three, van Niekerk won last year.

:24:15. > :24:24.The Dutch record holder, who runs from the Netherlands. Recognised by

:24:25. > :24:28.the IOC and the IAAF, he set the record in the finals in Beijing, a

:24:29. > :24:39.lot of people were wondering if we could see similar times. But it

:24:40. > :24:45.hasn't been like that here. Santos, intense, and Olympic silver, as an

:24:46. > :24:51.18-year-old he has been struggling this season, almost a metre and a

:24:52. > :24:56.half away from his best times. But again he looks pretty strong. And

:24:57. > :25:04.there is LaShawn Merritt. The only man to have gone 44 seconds this

:25:05. > :25:08.year, which he did in winning the US trials last month. Actually lost to

:25:09. > :25:12.Kirani James in the UK Diamond League meeting at the end of May.

:25:13. > :25:25.They haven't raced each other too many times.

:25:26. > :25:36.Brenes had a new personal best of 44-60 in June. And here is Kirani

:25:37. > :25:40.James, still just 23. And again, this season he does look good. Seven

:25:41. > :25:52.wins from seven after his first-round heat.

:25:53. > :26:03.A bronze in London in 2012, but also the Commonwealth Games of 2013,

:26:04. > :26:12.Lalonde Gordon. Botswana has three very good 400 metre men this man,

:26:13. > :26:21.Sibanda, just only turned 18 a couple of months ago. Already close

:26:22. > :26:25.to 45. And Javon Francis, the Jamaican champion, a great relay

:26:26. > :26:29.man, he has won a couple of exceptional legs in the past to my

:26:30. > :26:34.championships. Jamaica again with great support inside the stadium.

:26:35. > :26:39.The past two championships. The first of three semifinals of the

:26:40. > :26:43.men's 400, the first two go through automatically and the next two

:26:44. > :26:49.fastest of the final. Britain is represented in the 30 by Matthew

:26:50. > :26:53.Hudson-Smith. But here, the showdown, LaShawn Merritt needs two

:26:54. > :27:04.models. There will be an element of

:27:05. > :27:08.one-upmanship, getting the best lane for the final or simply making sure

:27:09. > :27:13.you go through, it is by no means guaranteed, even for two great

:27:14. > :27:16.athletes like Merritt and James. But they will certainly be the

:27:17. > :27:30.favourites to take the two automatic places.

:27:31. > :27:55.To the blocks for the first semifinal of the men's 400 metres.

:27:56. > :28:01.Awayday go. LaShawn Merritt is delayed for a moment in the box. We

:28:02. > :28:08.will see how quickly he moves. James in green and yellow and red. Of

:28:09. > :28:13.Granada. And James has darted very strongly, moving up alongside

:28:14. > :28:18.Brenes, hunting down LaShawn Merritt, the American will have left

:28:19. > :28:22.something for the final 150. He is alongside Santos. But it is James

:28:23. > :28:27.who is in charge of this race at the moment. Has he gone too quickly, too

:28:28. > :28:31.fast? What has he left for the final 100. LaShawn Merritt chasing him

:28:32. > :28:40.down now, alongside Santos, pulling clear now, it is these two. It is

:28:41. > :28:52.James by three or four paces, 44. Bot 02. -- 02. He goes through water

:28:53. > :28:56.magically. -- automatically. He was blessed with a psychological

:28:57. > :29:03.advantage, that belongs to go Ronnie James. He looks very, very good

:29:04. > :29:06.indeed. -- that belongs to James. LaShawn Merritt is through. An

:29:07. > :29:12.interesting race, Michael Jonzon, James looked very strong. He looked

:29:13. > :29:15.very strong, I'm not sure if the psychological advantage goes to him

:29:16. > :29:19.here. What LaShawn Merritt was able to do, knowing that he is on the

:29:20. > :29:23.outside lane, so James had the advantage. LaShawn Merritt knows

:29:24. > :29:26.that he has to finish the first two position is coming he is going to

:29:27. > :29:30.relax and let James do a lot more work than he has got to do, stay in

:29:31. > :29:34.contact. You see LaShawn Merritt right there saying, I have to shut

:29:35. > :29:37.it down, I don't have to do any more. James continues to run because

:29:38. > :29:40.he doesn't want LaShawn Merritt to get that advantage. I think here,

:29:41. > :29:46.LaShawn Merritt played this very well. He ran a very good race,

:29:47. > :29:49.knowing that, we are all disappointed that we had this

:29:50. > :29:55.situation with two three favourites for the race in the same heat in the

:29:56. > :29:58.second final. -- two of the three. LaShawn Merritt on the outside, he

:29:59. > :30:03.is watching in the big screen and seen that James is on his inside, he

:30:04. > :30:07.is relaxed here, he is running very relaxed. You look at LaShawn

:30:08. > :30:11.Merritt, no tension in his shoulders. He is able to continue

:30:12. > :30:15.that, which you would expect at this world final. James is coming round

:30:16. > :30:18.the bend with a two or three-metre lead, but he does it coming he is

:30:19. > :30:23.able just to remain relaxed, looking over, checking the big screen, to

:30:24. > :30:28.make sure that his position is safe. He doesn't have to use as much

:30:29. > :30:34.energy. Focusing on James a bit, James has cleaned up his technique

:30:35. > :30:39.in the last 100m. We have seen a very -- him very ragged in the past

:30:40. > :30:42.100m, even when he won the gold in 2012, but this year he is more

:30:43. > :30:44.clean. That is a worry for the rest of the field because he is a major

:30:45. > :30:55.threat with that 4402. That was a massive personal best for

:30:56. > :31:02.the 18-year-old from Botswana, Karabo Sibanda. Kirani James and

:31:03. > :31:08.LaShawn Merritt through automatically.

:31:09. > :31:13.Katarina Johnson-Thompson, her third and final throw in the javelin. Only

:31:14. > :31:19.the 800 metres remaining. She has had 36 metres at best in the first

:31:20. > :31:24.round, a poor throw in the second round. We know she wants this, she

:31:25. > :31:31.just has to believe. If she thinks she can, she is at the. She tried to

:31:32. > :31:37.get over the top of that but it stalled badly again. And it has

:31:38. > :31:43.fallen short. No improvement. And she knows it. You can see she tried

:31:44. > :31:47.to get over the top of that, getting the tail up and appoint down but it

:31:48. > :31:55.didn't happen. It is just pointing straight up in the air. It stalls

:31:56. > :32:00.almost immediately and falls to the ground short. Good on the floor, the

:32:01. > :32:09.hip strikes and appoint just pops up in the air. May be linked to that

:32:10. > :32:10.heavily strapped elbow. 36, the best work over, just the 800 metres to

:32:11. > :32:22.come. A few moments ago, Kirani James,

:32:23. > :32:24.straight through to the final, defending champion and he is talking

:32:25. > :32:34.to Phil Jones. That was putting some kind of

:32:35. > :32:38.statement down? A race like that is always tough. I was fortunate to

:32:39. > :32:42.have the inside lane on LaShawn Merritt so I could see what he was

:32:43. > :32:46.doing. Just trying to get ready for the finals now. It is a tough race

:32:47. > :32:50.and I will get some rest and relaxation and get ready tomorrow.

:32:51. > :32:54.We are all anticipating this could be one of the finals of the whole

:32:55. > :32:58.Olympics. What is it like to be part of that, the dynamic trio? It is

:32:59. > :33:03.fantastic, three athletes in the same event having the kind of

:33:04. > :33:07.performance we are, it is only good for the sport and that is all we

:33:08. > :33:10.look at. When we see people on the message boards talking about who has

:33:11. > :33:17.better technique, that is what you really want, to generate a lot more

:33:18. > :33:18.interest. We're just doing our part. Tremendous performance, thank you to

:33:19. > :33:28.us. Two of the big names are through.

:33:29. > :33:34.Will they be joined by Wayde van Niekerk? Andrew's point about the

:33:35. > :33:39.talented bots on Ian relay team, maybe has taken a bit of a knock

:33:40. > :33:50.because Baboloki feed a doesn't start. -- Baboloki feed

:33:51. > :34:10.This is Rusheen McDonald who again, is pretty impressive. It is going to

:34:11. > :34:19.go up a notch here. Van Nierkerk has seen Merritt and more importantly,

:34:20. > :34:23.Kirani James, just go a bit quicker. As Michael said, may be less sure

:34:24. > :34:29.merit holding back somewhat. Two of them running in the low 44 s. Pavel

:34:30. > :34:33.Maslak looking a little out of sorts, only came through as a

:34:34. > :34:40.fastest loser, normally comes through a bit better in the rounds.

:34:41. > :34:50.Right on the inside, David Verburg of the USA. A couple we haven't seen

:34:51. > :34:56.there, Haroun of Qatar, the world junior champion and Thebe who should

:34:57. > :35:00.have been out there in Lane 8, was the man who everybody thinks would

:35:01. > :35:03.have won that title ahead of Haroun but was disqualified in those world

:35:04. > :35:09.junior champion chips which were held in July. Not long before these

:35:10. > :35:19.Olympic Games so Haroun took the Olympic title. 19 years of age from

:35:20. > :35:28.Qatar. Janezic, a man Cerny improving from Slovenia.

:35:29. > :35:39.The first two will reach the final and then two fastest losers. Haroun

:35:40. > :35:45.very ragged out of the blocks, all over the shop but now into his

:35:46. > :35:54.running. He has that exaggerated arm action and contrast that with

:35:55. > :36:01.Cedenio who has a lovely action. We expect him to dominate but he will

:36:02. > :36:06.be chasing down the youngsters, Cedenio. Now, Van Nierkerk going

:36:07. > :36:12.well. Verburg starting to come into it in Lane 1, of the USA. It is Van

:36:13. > :36:17.Nierkerk with Cedenio, as expected. These two does contesting this a

:36:18. > :36:22.little bit. Cedenio will take it as Van Nierkerk looks across as if to

:36:23. > :36:26.say, you can have it. He had a check to his left and right and he

:36:27. > :36:29.realised Cedenio was a bit more interested than winning that

:36:30. > :36:37.semi-than Van Nierkerk was. Cedenio is looking good. That is very close,

:36:38. > :36:42.that personal best that he set in Monaco, I mentioned, just a few

:36:43. > :36:45.hundreds off that. Van Nierkerk always looks like he is extending

:36:46. > :36:50.himself a little more than the others tend to, is that your

:36:51. > :36:56.observation, Michael? MICHAEL JOHNSON: He looks pretty relaxed to

:36:57. > :37:01.me. He looked very much in control of the race. He was able to work off

:37:02. > :37:11.Cedenio who ran really fast in the back straight and never really let

:37:12. > :37:15.up off it. He's just off his personal best set earlier this year.

:37:16. > :37:19.Cedenio trying to put himself in a position for a medal as well but I

:37:20. > :37:24.felt Van Nierkerk ran a very controlled race. He has strapping on

:37:25. > :37:28.his leg, not sure what that is about, hasn't heard about any

:37:29. > :37:32.injuries and it doesn't seem to be bothering him. He gets up to race

:37:33. > :37:38.pace very early. What you will notice is that he seems to run the

:37:39. > :37:42.exact same pace for the entire race and when you can do that in a

:37:43. > :37:45.semifinal without having to shift gears, which takes a lot more

:37:46. > :37:51.effort, that bodes well fewer chances of recovery for the final

:37:52. > :37:58.tomorrow. I see here, no struggle at all, very relaxed looking face, no

:37:59. > :38:05.labouring in the breathing. Just going to let Cedenio have this, he

:38:06. > :38:12.thought. It would look like a very easy qualification so if you look

:38:13. > :38:17.back, Merritt, Van Nierkerk here, both very easy qualifications.

:38:18. > :38:19.Kirani James will need more recovery and more regeneration between today

:38:20. > :38:36.and tomorrow than those two guys. Wade, you look very relaxed out

:38:37. > :38:41.there. I'm grateful once again for an injury free race. The body slowly

:38:42. > :38:48.but surely catching up. It feels positive and I feel good. After all

:38:49. > :38:51.the anticipation, we finally got yourself, LaShawn Merritt and James

:38:52. > :38:56.Karami in the final, it will be one of the finals of the Gaines. What

:38:57. > :39:01.will you need to do to win? I didn't expect anything else. Quality guys

:39:02. > :39:06.yet again. I will have to dig deep and put out the best performance I

:39:07. > :39:14.can to beat these guys. That is part of the game. How much does last

:39:15. > :39:18.year's performance winning gold at the Championships have a bearing? I

:39:19. > :39:23.would love to say it plays a big role but it means nothing, it is a

:39:24. > :39:26.new competition, new final, new challenges, so I have to take it as

:39:27. > :39:34.a new day and put my best foot forward tomorrow. Good luck.

:39:35. > :39:42.He came second there and obviously Cedenio winning and the lane draw

:39:43. > :39:45.come the final will be so important. Maslak and Janezic not quick enough

:39:46. > :39:53.at the moment to go through. One more semifinal to go through which

:39:54. > :39:59.contains Matthew Hudson-Smith. Greg Rutherford getting himself

:40:00. > :40:03.ready for potentially making history, defending his Olympic

:40:04. > :40:08.title. He is the reigning Olympic champion from Super Saturday four

:40:09. > :40:13.years ago. He struggled a little bit in qualifying but as he said in his

:40:14. > :40:20.post-qualifying interview, forget what he did yesterday, it is a new

:40:21. > :40:24.day. While he gets ready, we will get ready for the third of the

:40:25. > :40:33.semifinals of the men's 400 metres. Matthew Hudson-Smith in this one.

:40:34. > :40:39.Also very strong men in Bralon Taplin, Steven Gardiner, so a tall

:40:40. > :40:41.order for Hudson-Smith. Simply to make a semifinal in the Olympic

:40:42. > :40:46.Games is quite an achievement. But he will have to go close to better

:40:47. > :40:57.his personal best to have a chance to be the quickest of the fastest

:40:58. > :41:02.losers, at the moment it is 44 .71. There is Gil Roberts, second of the

:41:03. > :41:07.US trials to LaShawn Merritt. A mixed bag for the US so far. David

:41:08. > :41:16.Verburg is out, LaShawn Merritt very good. Former world junior

:41:17. > :41:24.silver-medallist, Ali Khamis. Raced in Bulgaria this season. Rafal

:41:25. > :41:29.Omelko from Poland. Individual bronze-medallist at the European

:41:30. > :41:36.indoors last year, behind Pavel Maslak. There is Isaac Makwala, a

:41:37. > :41:45.mixed bag also for Botswana. Astonishing run from Sibanda but

:41:46. > :41:55.Thebe has had to pull out. There is Steven Gardiner, 44.46 this season.

:41:56. > :42:04.Bralon Taplin outside him, also from Granada. Not just about Kirani

:42:05. > :42:08.James. Matt Hudson-Smith on the outside. He doesn't mind Lane 8,

:42:09. > :42:13.some of his best races have been from there. But you are running

:42:14. > :42:20.blind, no idea where the rest. You cannot judge their pace. He will see

:42:21. > :42:24.if he can go close to his personal best and see where that gets him.

:42:25. > :42:36.The final heat in the semifinals of the men's 400 metres.

:42:37. > :42:41.The way they go and Matthew Hudson-Smith on the far outside in

:42:42. > :42:43.the white vest and there will be quick men in lanes three, four, five

:42:44. > :42:55.and six. The tall, elegant figure of Steven

:42:56. > :43:00.Gardiner, just with some work to do an Bralon Taplin at the moment.

:43:01. > :43:06.Taplin looks so good in the heat so far. Ali Khamis in Lane 3 Bahrain is

:43:07. > :43:13.looking very good and Gil Roberts of the US has bit to do. At the moment,

:43:14. > :43:19.will he finished strongly, it is Ali Khamis of Bahrain in the lead at the

:43:20. > :43:23.moment. Matt Hudson-Smith with a late charge, cannot quite get there,

:43:24. > :43:30.right on the line, so close, with Ali Khamis of Bahrain in the second.

:43:31. > :43:37.Taplin got the victory. What a fast finish from Matt Hudson-Smith. And

:43:38. > :43:44.we will look for the time as well. The time of the winner, Bralon

:43:45. > :43:47.Taplin, 44.44. That is quick from Matthew Hudson-Smith and I think you

:43:48. > :43:53.may well have qualified. Smiles for Hudson-Smith, he has seen the time.

:43:54. > :43:58.He has got second in fact, he doesn't need the time, what a run,

:43:59. > :44:06.he got him on the line and he has denied Ali Khamis Khamis. With 100

:44:07. > :44:11.to do, Matt Hudson-Smith had so much to do but didn't he judged it well?

:44:12. > :44:17.MICHAEL JOHNSON: He judged it well but he made a mistake from the start

:44:18. > :44:20.to 200 but he corrected it. He ran tight in the first 200 so that

:44:21. > :44:25.allowed him to actually have something left in the end. Great

:44:26. > :44:29.adjustment. That was an adjustment by Matthew Hudson-Smith right there

:44:30. > :44:34.after a mistake in the first 200 metres, given he was on the outside,

:44:35. > :44:38.he was able to conserve a little bit from 200 to 300 which is where you

:44:39. > :44:43.normally make a move, and get himself back into this from 300 to

:44:44. > :44:46.400. This is when he is on the outside and he knows he has the

:44:47. > :44:50.speed so he gets out tough and this is where you would normally start to

:44:51. > :45:03.relax but we see he doesn't really relaxed, he is still pushing.

:45:04. > :45:09.I thought, why let off the gas now, don't do that? It was a great

:45:10. > :45:15.adjustment, good thing he didn't listen to me. He could now put

:45:16. > :45:19.himself into position to come off and finished to get back into this

:45:20. > :45:24.race and finish with a personal best. Fantastic adjustment by the

:45:25. > :45:28.young 400-metre runner there. He is starting to establish himself with

:45:29. > :45:34.this consistency this year. 44 seconds, mid 44, 44.5. That puts him

:45:35. > :45:39.in the final where anything can happen. He could end up right in the

:45:40. > :45:44.middle of all of the greats. You are starting to see some of these guys,

:45:45. > :45:47.Matthew Hudson-Smith, Cittadini or from Trinidad and in, saying, you

:45:48. > :45:54.know what, I wondered these of that too. -- I want a piece of that, too.

:45:55. > :45:57.A fantastic run by Matthew Hudson-Smith, great to see him come

:45:58. > :46:02.to the championships, make the adjustment and show some experience

:46:03. > :46:08.and do good. He got second place by 100 of a second. There is a reaction

:46:09. > :46:12.when he saw it. He is 21, he has run a big personal best to make an

:46:13. > :46:18.Olympic final in the 400 metres. And now he is talking to full Clemens.

:46:19. > :46:22.Well, your delight is clear to all to see. A huge personal best. You

:46:23. > :46:25.are in an Olympic final. Can you believe it?

:46:26. > :46:34.LAUGHTER It was crazy! Yeah... Tell us about

:46:35. > :46:38.the race, it seems like Michael was talking about how you almost

:46:39. > :46:44.consciously took, you know, took a step back and took it easy and

:46:45. > :46:51.reserved energy and came on strong. Yeah, I messed up on the transition

:46:52. > :46:57.of the top bend. But... I have no idea what just happened. It wasn't

:46:58. > :47:04.an intentional thing, is what you're telling me. No, it was an

:47:05. > :47:09.improvisation. My coach said, control your emotions. When I felt

:47:10. > :47:16.them all go on me and go past, I was like, oh, OK, I'll have another go.

:47:17. > :47:20.I just started giggling. I was getting closer and closer. I wasn't

:47:21. > :47:26.sure if I made a -- I started kicking. When I saw that I came

:47:27. > :47:30.second and made the final I was really happy. I know Michael just

:47:31. > :47:36.said it, it's one of those things when once you're in the final, who

:47:37. > :47:40.knows what can happen. Yeah, I'm in the final. At the end of the day,

:47:41. > :47:46.being a champion is being here at the right time. And I proved it. So,

:47:47. > :47:55.the next race is the final. I've still got a lot to learn. And a lot

:47:56. > :47:59.to work on still. 44.8, it wasn't the best of runs, there is a lot of

:48:00. > :48:05.work on, and I'm really excited for the final mall. Congratulations,

:48:06. > :48:10.fantastic, see you there. It wasn't the best of runs, a lot to work on,

:48:11. > :48:13.four tenths of a second off his personal best comic but he has made

:48:14. > :48:19.the final of the Olympics. And that is what it means. He got it right on

:48:20. > :48:24.the line, 100th of a second ahead of Ali Khamis Khamis, who did look very

:48:25. > :48:25.strong as well. An extraordinarily good run from Matt Hudson-Smith,

:48:26. > :48:38.through to the final. And co Ronnie James just about

:48:39. > :48:42.going, of -- James. Wade van Niekerk is in there as well. Matt

:48:43. > :48:49.Hudson-Smith through with that time. That is your line-up for the final.

:48:50. > :48:53.Greg Rutherford getting himself ready to start the defence of his

:48:54. > :48:58.Olympic title in the long jump competition. And he got in by the

:48:59. > :49:03.skin of his teeth, two no jumps, 790 got him through, in tenth place last

:49:04. > :49:07.night. If there is anything Rutherford can do, we know it is a

:49:08. > :49:12.big job when it counts. Will he do that here tonight and make history?

:49:13. > :49:18.-- a big jump. We have adored Matthew Hudson-Smith from the

:49:19. > :49:21.beginning. That night in Glasgow when he just stormed through there,

:49:22. > :49:26.and ever since he has been a bit of a favourite of ours. And he gave

:49:27. > :49:30.some brilliant advice last year as well. He's a good kid, it was good

:49:31. > :49:35.having him in the studio last year. One thing that I really like about

:49:36. > :49:41.Matt right there is that he talked about how that wasn't the best race.

:49:42. > :49:45.Really what I like about him and bodes well for his future is that he

:49:46. > :49:49.understands that coming he gets it, he understands exactly what he did.

:49:50. > :49:53.You heard him talk about, yeah, I didn't transition well on the top of

:49:54. > :49:56.the bend, and he didn't, but it worked to his benefit at the end of

:49:57. > :50:00.the day, great move, you learn from that. Seeing an athlete come out

:50:01. > :50:04.from a personal best and saying that wasn't the best race and I know

:50:05. > :50:07.exactly why, that's the kind of athlete, especially in a race like

:50:08. > :50:16.the 400 metres which is very strategic, you have to know what

:50:17. > :50:20.were doing, where you are, why you want it and why you lost it. That is

:50:21. > :50:23.what great runners do, he has a bright future ahead of him. He is

:50:24. > :50:27.talking about learning a lot in the future, he needs to learn that

:50:28. > :50:31.between now and the final because he has a great opportunity to do

:50:32. > :50:36.something good and potentially bring home a medal. You never know what's

:50:37. > :50:45.going to happen with the big three, Nico, Merritt and James. Those guys

:50:46. > :50:49.-- van Niekerk. People like Matt Hudson-Smith could get in there and

:50:50. > :50:53.sneak in and get a medal. The beauty I think, and I agree with what

:50:54. > :50:57.you're saying, but the beauty with Matthew is that he doesn't actually

:50:58. > :51:03.know, and that makes him feel us. That means he is almost prepared to

:51:04. > :51:07.just run his own race, -- feel us. He listens to his body, whatever

:51:08. > :51:12.I've got, I'm going to give. -- without fear. He has made a massive

:51:13. > :51:17.personal best. When you look down at the British record, 44th 36 -- 44:

:51:18. > :51:26.36. The final is later on this evening,

:51:27. > :51:29.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce looking to make history. But there are three

:51:30. > :51:36.that you have taken a close look at for us. Tori Bowie, Shelly-Ann

:51:37. > :51:40.Fraser-Pryce obviously, then Dafne Schippers. Looking here at

:51:41. > :51:43.Fraser-Pryce, they are just so different. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

:51:44. > :51:49.with that quick start, look at the difference in turnover, that is due

:51:50. > :51:54.to the different insights. Compact and powerful is Fraser-Pryce,

:51:55. > :52:00.opening up a huge gap. She is high up on the blogs, and watch the quick

:52:01. > :52:06.-- on the blocks, watch the quickness. Schippers has her

:52:07. > :52:09.advantage, as long as she is patient, she closes the gap and is

:52:10. > :52:14.able to take advantage of the longest ride and the fact that she

:52:15. > :52:20.is able to, she has endurance. She was a happy athlete, she has endured

:52:21. > :52:24.and can hold the -- heptathlete. She can hold the injuries. This year,

:52:25. > :52:30.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has not been able to run like that. We haven't

:52:31. > :52:34.been able to see her put that run up at the finish line. This year she

:52:35. > :52:39.has been much more careful. This could be a great matchup. Tori Bowie

:52:40. > :52:46.is there on the left of the screen. She is on fire this year. She didn't

:52:47. > :52:50.win the US trials, but she was second, 10:74 this year. This could

:52:51. > :52:55.be interesting. Then you have got the other Americans, and you've all

:52:56. > :53:03.so got... Who else do we have? Denise, who is our 100m runner? You

:53:04. > :53:06.just lost me that! We have got a great number of people, Gardner was

:53:07. > :53:12.in the US championships. This should be interesting. Thank you, Michael.

:53:13. > :53:18.We are going back out of the long jump and Steve Backley. We are

:53:19. > :53:27.moments away from Greg Rutherford taking to the runway for the first

:53:28. > :53:33.time. In the men's final. But before that, we see his training partner,

:53:34. > :53:40.the Australians, one of two Australians humid the final, a real

:53:41. > :53:45.mix of around the world, two Australia's, two South Africans, two

:53:46. > :53:51.North Americans, Chinese. But first up, it is Lapierre, the world thing

:53:52. > :53:59.silver-medallist. That looked like a foul. Was it? It is beyond eight

:54:00. > :54:04.metres. It won't be measured. It is a quick runway, we have seen if you

:54:05. > :54:08.Foulis. Greg Rutherford produced a couple himself and provocation. -- a

:54:09. > :54:12.few fouls. He has been chomping at the peace. He has a completely

:54:13. > :54:17.different demeanour about him than he had yesterday in qualification.

:54:18. > :54:23.He looked focused. He looks eager. He is up for this, and he knows that

:54:24. > :54:29.if he gets this right, you can go away with another Olympic title. It

:54:30. > :54:34.is a big mountain to climb when you think he's not in the top of the

:54:35. > :54:38.world list. He wasn't one of the best qualifiers, in fact, he was one

:54:39. > :54:45.of the worst. But they know he's got something special about him. As he

:54:46. > :54:50.composes himself, getting ready for his first jump. He almost put a

:54:51. > :54:56.spell on the opposition. They look to him, because they know his

:54:57. > :55:01.competitive medal is something special. World champion, Olympic

:55:02. > :55:06.champion, double European champion. Every major outdoor title available

:55:07. > :55:12.to him he has. Greg Rutherford on the runway, ready to leap the job of

:55:13. > :55:19.his life. First round of the men's long jump final. Greg Rutherford.

:55:20. > :55:22.Well, it's beyond eight metres. Is it a foul? It was close if it

:55:23. > :55:30.wasn't. Over the board, it is a foul. It is a mark that will go into

:55:31. > :55:38.the lead because the Uruguayan athlete is seven: 93. He took the

:55:39. > :55:42.lead. Perfect on the board. He has made exactly the adjustment. That

:55:43. > :55:44.bodes really well. We were talking to Colin Jackson earlier about the

:55:45. > :55:54.importance of getting a first-round jump in. It is 8:18, a big

:55:55. > :56:03.first-round, big smile from Greg. The women's 400 metres.

:56:04. > :56:12.Lane six is out very quickly. Tori Bowie alongside them. Two to go

:56:13. > :56:26.through automatically. It is the American and the Trinidadian.

:56:27. > :56:33.Tori Bowie, a great 200m got submicron, did this in her heat.

:56:34. > :56:41.They are the automatic qualifiers. That was quick. 10:90 given to the

:56:42. > :56:46.first two. Colin Jackson having a look at this one. It was brilliant

:56:47. > :56:53.to see. Spelling out the blocks, we know how quick she is over that

:56:54. > :56:56.60-metre mark. They raced each other through, to haul themselves into

:56:57. > :57:00.that automatic selection position, where they get right through into

:57:01. > :57:06.the final. Great racing, look at those times. Three ladies already

:57:07. > :57:13.under 11 seconds. This is looking exciting, Andrew. The Jamaican has

:57:14. > :57:17.run a personal best, 10:90 six. We are talking about sometimes not

:57:18. > :57:22.being particularly quick. Here in the 100 we have seen some quick

:57:23. > :57:25.times this evening. Everybody is stepping up now. The semifinals is

:57:26. > :57:29.what it's all about now. You need to get into that final. Everybody is

:57:30. > :57:35.sharp and focused looking for that final spot. The times can only

:57:36. > :57:42.improve. There is the photo finish, that'll drugs are separated. It does

:57:43. > :57:52.look as though Tony Bowie got it, -- they are difficult to separate. They

:57:53. > :57:56.are both getting 10:90. Ahye with a seasoned's best. The two fastest

:57:57. > :58:06.losers go through. That starts her in very good said. -- in good stead.

:58:07. > :58:16.So then, we're well into this first round of the long jump final. Greg

:58:17. > :58:20.Rutherford's jump of 8:18. It is in the lead. The South African athlete

:58:21. > :58:28.was very quick in approach, Manyonga. That is going to tell and

:58:29. > :58:32.for the lead. He is a man who has jumped 8:30 this year. That is his

:58:33. > :58:38.lifetime best. He is 24 years old. He just seems to adjust there, maybe

:58:39. > :58:47.more to come. He is one to watch. In 11 centimetres the plasticine.

:58:48. > :58:56.Manyonga is 8:16. He goes into second place.

:58:57. > :59:06.Well, perfect conditions here in the Olympic Stadium. It is around 23

:59:07. > :59:11.degrees, not much wind to speak of. Jeff Henderson took the US

:59:12. > :59:16.championships, the US title, with a huge jump. He is capable of jumping

:59:17. > :59:19.beyond eight metres 50, and is possibly the biggest threat to Greg

:59:20. > :59:23.Rutherford for the gold medal, certainly on paper. He wasn't good

:59:24. > :59:27.last year in the World Championships, though, it all got to

:59:28. > :59:31.him a little bit much and ended in tears there. What is he going to do

:59:32. > :59:37.in the Olympic Games? Oh, it is a big, big jump for Jeff Henderson.

:59:38. > :59:43.And it is a white flag. Well, it's really kicked off in this first

:59:44. > :59:49.round. A subtle frown. On the brow of Rutherford. He will note that

:59:50. > :59:56.Henderson is the man to watch. He is capable of a big job. It is 8:20, he

:59:57. > :00:00.goes into the lead. Rutherford, he knows he is capable of fighting back

:00:01. > :00:05.for that. This is going to be a brilliant competition. The Olympic

:00:06. > :00:11.triple jump champion and coach Dan Henderson is watching on. This is

:00:12. > :00:16.going to be some competition. I bet Rutherford can't wait to get out for

:00:17. > :00:24.his second dog, can he? -- second job. -- job. A great atmosphere in

:00:25. > :00:29.the stadium. Rutherford will love this. He's got a good jump in. The

:00:30. > :00:33.pressure is off a little and he can relax and just use the energy in the

:00:34. > :00:41.stadium here, the Olympics they do, as we see.

:00:42. > :00:48.As he challenged the lead? I thought I saw the mark of his feet beyond

:00:49. > :00:56.the leading mark. He won't take the lead.

:00:57. > :01:01.Super Saturday already warming up, isn't it? Greg Rutherford in second

:01:02. > :01:07.place. Asha Philip in the second semifinal of the 100 metres and a

:01:08. > :01:10.big semifinal here. Doesn't get any bigger. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and

:01:11. > :01:21.attempting to be the first to win three gold medals consecutively.

:01:22. > :01:31.Marie-Josee Ta Lou on her right. In Lane 6. Then we will move next to

:01:32. > :01:34.lanes seven, Tianna Bartoletta. Second in the American

:01:35. > :01:39.Championships, not only in this event but of course in the long

:01:40. > :01:43.jump, where she is the world champion. 30 years of age,

:01:44. > :01:52.Bartoletta. But running faster in the 100 metres than ever. 10.78.

:01:53. > :01:56.Pohrebnyak from Ukraine in Lane 8. This one on the outside will get a

:01:57. > :02:07.huge cheer. More than anybody else. Rosangela Santos. She funnily enough

:02:08. > :02:13.is from Brazil. The one we haven't seen is Dafne Schippers. Landazuri

:02:14. > :02:19.from Ecuador over on the inside. Len two. Dafne Schippers, Shelly-Ann

:02:20. > :02:26.Fraser-Pryce, two of the favourites for the gold medal and Asha Philip,

:02:27. > :02:31.trying to take them on. First two and two fastest losers. We have seen

:02:32. > :02:33.the three women go sub 11 in that first semifinal already. The wind

:02:34. > :03:02.slightly behind them. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce goes away

:03:03. > :03:08.and Schippers stays second. 10.89. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is getting

:03:09. > :03:18.faster and faster and faster. This quest to become the first to win

:03:19. > :03:24.three Olympic titles. Some tears. Is she limping? I was just looking at

:03:25. > :03:30.that, seeing her reaction. Trying to see down the track. She is not happy

:03:31. > :03:35.at all, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. But she should be with the run itself

:03:36. > :03:39.because it was very good, explosive. Everything we know about her, she

:03:40. > :03:45.delivered in the semifinal. I wonder if she nipped a muscle at the back

:03:46. > :03:48.end. She switched off with about ten metres to go. I am hoping she hasn't

:03:49. > :03:54.done any damage because we truly want to see her in the final. No

:03:55. > :03:57.answer from anybody else in this field. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce out

:03:58. > :04:03.hard. Extending the lead in the middle part of the race with that

:04:04. > :04:08.great magical turnover. The pocket rocket. Dafne Schippers couldn't

:04:09. > :04:12.quite get to the line but 10.89 is the time and it tells you she is in

:04:13. > :04:18.good shape. It is literally just as she goes over the line. As she goes

:04:19. > :04:23.over the line, she pops in the air a little bit. It is not something

:04:24. > :04:27.major I think but that tears did come. She knew. Yes, she knows

:04:28. > :04:31.there's something wrong and you cannot quite put a hand to it. It

:04:32. > :04:36.will be frustrating for us all because if she doesn't make it

:04:37. > :04:39.through to the final, because of this injury, it would be so

:04:40. > :04:44.disappointing for her because she's going for this triple as an Olympic

:04:45. > :04:54.champion. Let's keep our fingers crossed that she has qualified. Asha

:04:55. > :05:02.Philip was in a very tough semifinal there and I guess time will tell,

:05:03. > :05:08.she hasn't got too much time. That race in an hour and 20 minutes.

:05:09. > :05:17.Ta Lou running very fast. There is another semifinal to come but at the

:05:18. > :05:22.minute, that would be the quickest for a fastest loser spot but not for

:05:23. > :05:27.Tianna Bartoletta. Will Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce be able to run the

:05:28. > :05:32.final? We are getting towards the end of

:05:33. > :05:38.the first round of the long jump final and Jarrion Lawson, one of the

:05:39. > :05:42.most talented in this field. Runner-up in the European

:05:43. > :05:49.Championships. 22-year-old American. He is the world leader in the first

:05:50. > :05:54.round. It is a big effort. Lawson, the Americans have come with a very

:05:55. > :06:00.different attitude than they did a year ago. It is good on the board.

:06:01. > :06:05.Lawson, this may even threaten the lead. A little dip and drive, you

:06:06. > :06:10.saw him lose his height and then extend up, it is perfect on the

:06:11. > :06:16.board. Lawson is going to be a handful. Greg Rutherford has a

:06:17. > :06:25.mountain to climb. Lawson, 8.19, just one centimetre shy of his

:06:26. > :06:31.team-mate. It is USA, one, two. Jessica Ennis-Hill is out and

:06:32. > :06:35.getting herself ready for the second group in this heptathlon javelin. It

:06:36. > :06:44.starts in about five minutes time. She is a 48.33 PB in the javelin. If

:06:45. > :06:49.they all run their PBs tonight, she would take gold. We have seen

:06:50. > :06:51.Katarina Johnson-Thompson some weight the -- some way below her

:06:52. > :07:05.best. They are ready down there for the

:07:06. > :07:10.third semifinal and what semifinals we have seen so far. Six women below

:07:11. > :07:15.11 seconds in the first two. What a run from Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

:07:16. > :07:22.Elaine Thompson is quickest in the world so far. The zero Henry, one of

:07:23. > :07:30.the quickest qualifiers, didn't leave a lot out. -- Desiree Henry.

:07:31. > :07:35.Very good conditions. Just a slight breeze behind the sprinters.

:07:36. > :07:41.Blessing Okagbare, perhaps not as quite as fast as she was a couple of

:07:42. > :07:47.years ago. Needs to get out quickly. If she starts well, she stands a

:07:48. > :07:51.good chance of going through. The American champion, English Gardner.

:07:52. > :07:56.Took the US title for a second time in Oregon last month with that 10.74

:07:57. > :08:03.which only Elaine Thompson has betted this season. Tatjana Pinto on

:08:04. > :08:14.the outside, ran 11 seconds in Germany. And there is Carina Horn of

:08:15. > :08:25.South Africa. Hull City South African 100 metres record. -- holds

:08:26. > :08:32.the South African 100 metres record. Semoy Hackett has served a couple of

:08:33. > :08:35.drug bans, she is in Lane 3. Outside her, Elaine Thompson, we have seen

:08:36. > :08:40.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce go through but what state was she in? Was it

:08:41. > :08:45.just a recurrence of her toe injury which has trouble throughout the

:08:46. > :08:49.season? The final is just over an hour and 20 minutes time. Elaine

:08:50. > :08:56.Thompson was flying up a month or so ago but she has been troubled with a

:08:57. > :09:01.hamstring problem. Two to go through automatically. And the two fastest

:09:02. > :09:13.losers. But we have seen some very quick time so far.

:09:14. > :09:24.It is Elaine Thompson and English Gardner. It gets quicker and

:09:25. > :09:34.quicker. The two Jamaican set the quickest times. 10.894 Elaine

:09:35. > :09:37.Thompson, 10.89 four Shelley and Fraser-Pryce. -- Shelly-Ann

:09:38. > :09:44.Fraser-Pryce. Elaine Thompson has just been pipped on the line by

:09:45. > :09:48.guessing Okagbare. The question whether Elaine Thompson's hamstring

:09:49. > :09:56.problems she has been talking about... But no signs of any

:09:57. > :10:01.problems there. COLIN JACKSON: Here, I think there is so much more to

:10:02. > :10:10.come. That is the easiest 10.88 I have seen. Let's look at it head on.

:10:11. > :10:16.Out of the blocks well. Yellow and black Jamaican strip. Focused down

:10:17. > :10:21.here. She's gentle, bouncing. Right now, she will shut down. The engines

:10:22. > :10:28.will calm down. She knows she is through to the final, easy and

:10:29. > :10:32.smooth. Desiree Henry working hard to get there. She will be a little

:10:33. > :10:36.disappointed because she wants to get that 11 seconds barrier under

:10:37. > :10:42.her belt but it will calm, be patient. She is 20 and she has gone

:10:43. > :10:46.close to an Olympic final but it is ending here in the semifinal, at

:10:47. > :10:55.least individually for Desiree Henry. Eight go through to the

:10:56. > :11:01.final. All eight have run below 11 seconds in that final in about an

:11:02. > :11:06.hour and 20 minutes. The action is coming thick and fast

:11:07. > :11:13.this evening. Greg Rutherford is on the runway. His second attempt in

:11:14. > :11:17.the long jump final. Just four centimetres covering the top

:11:18. > :11:22.athletes. Rutherford currently in third place. It is another jump

:11:23. > :11:25.beyond eight metres, you can see the white lines of the lead. This will

:11:26. > :11:33.come down to absolutely tiny margins. There is great's coach,

:11:34. > :11:37.worked so hard on his run-up. Was perfect on the board in the first

:11:38. > :11:42.round. That bodes well to him to compete. It is good again. Four

:11:43. > :11:50.jumps remaining. It doesn't look like it will improve on the 8.18.

:11:51. > :11:57.Two centimetres off Henderson's lead of 8.20. Rutherford in third place,

:11:58. > :12:04.behind the two Americans, no improvement in the second round.

:12:05. > :12:08.Take a breath. Because Jessica Ennis-Hill is on the runway and she

:12:09. > :12:15.has gone about her business quietly and competently across the previous

:12:16. > :12:21.five events. This is the sixth, a slightly different look on the face

:12:22. > :12:27.of Toni Minichiello. The work is done, now, it is time to let rip,

:12:28. > :12:31.Mick Hill, the javelin specialist coach brought into the team a good

:12:32. > :12:38.few years back and has produced a fairly stable technique. A throw

:12:39. > :12:42.beyond 45 metres would be ideal. Jessica Ennis-Hill, first round of

:12:43. > :12:47.the javelin. Just decelerated slightly on that but it is a big

:12:48. > :12:55.effort. It is a huge effort, a massive throw for Jessica

:12:56. > :13:01.Ennis-Hill. Wow, that may have clinched her another Olympic gold

:13:02. > :13:06.medal. Because if this is beyond 45 metres, I don't think anyone can

:13:07. > :13:10.catch her. She is exceptional over 800 metres, the right foot goes

:13:11. > :13:14.forward, she committed the hip, and that is wonderful. I know Mick Hill

:13:15. > :13:28.backhoe will have hit the roof with that. Two throws remaining. That is

:13:29. > :13:33.just what she would have wanted. I would be honest, I thought it was a

:13:34. > :13:38.little further. There is Toni Minichiello. That is about as

:13:39. > :13:42.enthusiastic as we have seen as a reaction across all the events. That

:13:43. > :13:47.is Toni celebrating inside, trust me. I was nervous there. The

:13:48. > :13:54.warm-ups were not great but a good start for Jess.

:13:55. > :14:00.Saturday night is all right for fighting for your Olympic gold

:14:01. > :14:03.title. Jessica Ennis-Hill has absolutely punched through with her

:14:04. > :14:07.first throw because that will totally settle the nerves, calming

:14:08. > :14:11.her down. She did everything she has been coached to do and you were

:14:12. > :14:17.saying, that is the block her hip should be, it was a beautiful

:14:18. > :14:22.example of how to throw a javelin. DENISE LEWIS: It was everything you

:14:23. > :14:26.want to see in the technique, steady on the runway, kept that arm back

:14:27. > :14:30.nicely says she has given herself a long range to throw through. She

:14:31. > :14:37.blocked that left leg which acts as a pivot. It is almost like a

:14:38. > :14:41.slingshot, you block hard and it slings the javelin and she did it

:14:42. > :14:45.brilliantly. Just what you need for the first round. We just watched

:14:46. > :14:50.Thiam, the leader by five points going into this, the Belgian, having

:14:51. > :14:54.an incredible competition so far. She sat to the left of her and she

:14:55. > :14:58.looked a little bit concerned because Thiam's 800 is nowhere near

:14:59. > :15:04.as good as Jess' says she will have to throw big. Mo Farah time is

:15:05. > :15:10.coming up as well, it is thick and fast tonight. We knew that when we

:15:11. > :15:11.came in, we would be treated to some fantastic athletics. Mo Farah

:15:12. > :15:40.heading out onto the track. A story of human movement. This

:15:41. > :15:52.looks easy. It has been anything but. 1983, the start. Twin boys are

:15:53. > :16:04.born in Mogadishu, Somalia. Eight years later, one twin moves to

:16:05. > :16:10.London. He loves football. Running. There are setbacks. Disappointing

:16:11. > :16:16.performance by Mo Farah. Successors. He has destroyed them. --

:16:17. > :16:25.successors. He must change, change routine, coach, change everything.

:16:26. > :16:35.He must move to move faster. Is he ready now? Is this the time? Is this

:16:36. > :16:42.the place? Farah is going for it, it's gold! It is. He is the double

:16:43. > :16:49.Olympic champion. These are Moura nights and these are Moura towns.

:16:50. > :16:54.And it becomes the motion picture of the age, to be repeated and

:16:55. > :17:00.appreciated time after time. Stinging away, as expected. Our

:17:01. > :17:07.monumental Mo. Mo Farah at his best, the world champion again. Five world

:17:08. > :17:12.titles, simply says Asian. What comes next in this story of human

:17:13. > :17:14.movement -- simply sensational. Already among the greats, can he now

:17:15. > :17:36.pulled clear? Rio Mo. Go Mo. Here they come, the 10,000 metre

:17:37. > :17:41.athletes making their way out into the arena, all 34 of them. It was

:17:42. > :17:46.Jeffrey come or who led the way, arguably the man who many feel can

:17:47. > :17:53.put up the biggest fight for Mo look at him, telling them to get the

:17:54. > :17:57.crowd behind him. He wants the crowd to be with him and enjoy the

:17:58. > :18:02.spectacle. He wants the support, he knows he's ready, he's excited. Part

:18:03. > :18:06.of the reason they've brought that run on the quarter finals, we didn't

:18:07. > :18:10.see it in the morning finals, probably because it was dark, as

:18:11. > :18:13.they come out they get that entrance to the arena and he's going to

:18:14. > :18:18.really play today in the arena. He knows he's in shape, he knows the

:18:19. > :18:23.others are going to bring it to him but he knows he's ready. We are just

:18:24. > :18:28.going to catch the javelin, Nafi Thiam is going to throw. The event

:18:29. > :18:32.leader. Let's not forget, Jessica Ennis-Hill still has work to do,

:18:33. > :18:38.because Nafi Thiam, a very slender lead of just nine points ahead of

:18:39. > :18:44.Jess. Thiam is 21 years of age. And she is a brilliant javelin thrower.

:18:45. > :18:52.Starting from a short approach he though. -- here. Maybe she can do

:18:53. > :18:58.it, it is a long throw. Oh, she has produced something massive. But she

:18:59. > :19:05.has hurt her elbow, has she? It probably doesn't matter. That's over

:19:06. > :19:12.50 metres. Wow. This is drama. Jess watching on, she knows that the 45

:19:13. > :19:18.she's just thrown is a diesel throw for her. But look at the flight on

:19:19. > :19:26.that. It could be a new lifetime best for the Belgian. At 21 years of

:19:27. > :19:32.age, Nafi Thiam produced something very social. It's 53:13. And that's

:19:33. > :19:36.close to a lifetime best -- very special.

:19:37. > :19:46.But now it's Mo time. The first part of the trilogy that is stupid

:19:47. > :19:50.Saturday. This one could be completed first. Mo Farah going for

:19:51. > :19:55.gold. Brendan Foster and Steve Cram take it away. Well, it's Saturday,

:19:56. > :20:02.it's the Olympic Games, time for some gold. Mo Farah, the first to

:20:03. > :20:10.have his opportunity on Super Saturday. His big rival in this

:20:11. > :20:14.race, not only one but he may be the biggest one, Jeffrey Kamworor from

:20:15. > :20:23.Kenya. Ross Millington and Andy Vernon will be joining row Mo Farah

:20:24. > :20:30.wearing the British vest. The same three Kenyans if you tried to pull

:20:31. > :20:36.the finish out of the world champions last year. Dana Lash of

:20:37. > :20:40.Ethiopia, the world champion, that is a title that he was winning in

:20:41. > :20:51.2012 went Mo Farah was winning his Olympic title. A little further down

:20:52. > :20:56.the line, the familiar face of Tadese, on a couple of occasions in

:20:57. > :21:01.his younger days he tried to wrest this title from some of the great

:21:02. > :21:08.names of the past who tried to win it. Big cheer for Mo Farah.

:21:09. > :21:15.Ready to go. Greg Rutherford watching on the big screen as well.

:21:16. > :21:23.Mo's training partner Abdi, he has been with him with the rest of the

:21:24. > :21:31.British squad as well. Toll behind, trying to look for a bit of room. A

:21:32. > :21:41.big field. -- Tamirat Tola. There are two lines lining up. There is

:21:42. > :21:45.Paul Tanui. He qualified by rights at the Kenyan Olympic trials. The

:21:46. > :21:53.other two big names did not finish the race. We will get a chance to

:21:54. > :21:57.doubt about that later. That is not a familiar name, but if you wearing

:21:58. > :22:03.the best of Ethiopia in an Olympic final you are pretty good. Galen

:22:04. > :22:09.Rupp is a familiar figure, former training partner of Mo Farah. Galen

:22:10. > :22:16.will be contesting the marathon as well week on Sunday. So, can Mo

:22:17. > :22:20.Farah retain his 10,000 metre title? Can he win his third Olympic

:22:21. > :22:31.gold-medal? No British athlete has never been able to do that. The

:22:32. > :22:36.Olympic Games four years ago was two golds. So, here we go. The 10,000

:22:37. > :22:47.metre final. 25 laps of the track. Well, I know everybody in the

:22:48. > :22:50.stadium and I hope people sitting at home full of anticipation for what

:22:51. > :22:53.is going to happen in this race. We have a world record in the women's

:22:54. > :22:58.10,000 metre final, and that might be the one thing that is not going

:22:59. > :23:02.to happen here. Yes, we might have said the same about the women's.

:23:03. > :23:06.Look at this familiar sight. Mo Farah, Olympic Games, right at the

:23:07. > :23:09.back of the field. Just relaxing, getting into his running, letting

:23:10. > :23:17.everybody do whatever they want to do. And Mo Farah, the defending

:23:18. > :23:20.Olympic champion from Great Britain. On Super Saturday, you can't believe

:23:21. > :23:25.it was only four years ago. Tonight we have jess throwing the javelin,

:23:26. > :23:29.Greg Rutherford doing the long jump, and Mo Farah is now an part of his

:23:30. > :23:33.journey. The three from Siemens added a role in action now. Here is

:23:34. > :23:37.what we expected to happen. The Kenyan team have decided over many

:23:38. > :23:41.years, they weren't able to beat Mo Farah if they left the pace slow, so

:23:42. > :23:53.they decided they were going to do is the about it. There is Greg

:23:54. > :23:56.Rutherford. It is all taking off here, the Brits aren't full flow.

:23:57. > :23:58.Greg Rutherford I'm sure will be buoyed by the fact that Mo, his

:23:59. > :24:01.friend and colleague who went for gold four years ago, is in the

:24:02. > :24:03.stadium. Rutherford, round three of the long jump in third place behind

:24:04. > :24:07.the Americans. Well, difficult to tell without the lines there. He has

:24:08. > :24:10.been perfect on the board so far. The atmosphere is electric here in

:24:11. > :24:21.the yellow Brick Stadium this evening. He is working hard, eight

:24:22. > :24:28.number col and 80 at his best. Rutherford has taken the lead at!

:24:29. > :24:33.Wow! Unbelievable stuff. Rutherford at the halfway stage is in

:24:34. > :24:37.gold-medal position. Look at this, eight number column 22 in the third

:24:38. > :24:47.round. I'm sure there is more drama to come. -- 8:20 do. Talking to his

:24:48. > :24:51.coach Zampa. He fought his way by -- he fought his way back into the

:24:52. > :25:00.lead. This is going to be tied. Back to the race. It is already building.

:25:01. > :25:06.We said earlier on, that long jump, the heptathlon, it is an ultimate

:25:07. > :25:12.event. The early stages of the 10,000 metres. We started with a

:25:13. > :25:15.67.5 lap. We just had a 71, much lower for the second lap. Mo Farah

:25:16. > :25:19.still content to be at the back. Just watching what is going on. Ross

:25:20. > :25:24.Millington and Andy Vernon are little bit ahead of him. Two Kenyans

:25:25. > :25:28.towards the front, two towards the back, maybe an Mo will watch,

:25:29. > :25:36.keeping an eye on him, making sure that he is covering it. Tanui is

:25:37. > :25:40.that the front. We are an Mo watch. It is great to know that you need

:25:41. > :25:49.confidence to do what Mo has just done. Sit at the back of the field.

:25:50. > :25:52.To: 65 for the first 10,000 metres. You are talking about how you're

:25:53. > :25:55.going to lead and set the pace and make sure that I can't be tested at

:25:56. > :26:02.the end of the race because you have to test me in the middle. But it's

:26:03. > :26:07.not unveiling itself yet. The Kenyan team, three athletes who finished

:26:08. > :26:13.behind Mo Farah. There is Mo Farah at the back. Ross Millington covered

:26:14. > :26:18.by Steve Vernon in there. Just ahead of him, Andy Vernon, the other

:26:19. > :26:24.British athlete. Mo is setting the pace from the back. They are just

:26:25. > :26:28.waiting to see something happen. Mo is a long way behind. I would

:26:29. > :26:32.imagine that in the next few laps he will do something about it. Here is

:26:33. > :26:40.Jess Ennis-Hill get ready to go, as the 10,000 metre runners go past.

:26:41. > :26:46.Best is 45th 91 in the first round. She just decelerated on that. It is

:26:47. > :26:50.another big throw. This may even be an improvement. We saw that huge

:26:51. > :26:57.throw from Thiam. We worked out it is about 140 points that Thiam is

:26:58. > :27:01.ahead. That equates to about ten seconds in the 800 metres, the last

:27:02. > :27:04.event later on this evening. That is the difference between their

:27:05. > :27:12.perspective. Oh, this going to be close. 46 and a colon 064 Jessica

:27:13. > :27:20.Ennis-Hill, she has in the second round. If she can nick away a point

:27:21. > :27:26.here she is going to save herself valuable tents or possibly seconds

:27:27. > :27:32.combat final two lap race. So will come that final.

:27:33. > :27:39.Well, that was a couple of tenths slower. She needs to run the 800

:27:40. > :27:43.metres if it stays that way. Not much, though, every little helps. Mo

:27:44. > :27:47.Farah just moving out to have a look and see what is going on at the

:27:48. > :27:50.front. He gets the sense it is picked up. A couple of slow laps,

:27:51. > :27:55.and now the pace has got moving a little bit. Not really going to

:27:56. > :28:03.fast. It was a 67 lap, but moan looking to see who it is at the

:28:04. > :28:07.front. He won't be too worried, although we haven't had a fast first

:28:08. > :28:14.mile or so here, the Kamworor four laps also. You just sense -- the

:28:15. > :28:17.first four laps also, you sense it won't be long until they try

:28:18. > :28:21.something. It is obviously not long until the very beginning. I suspect

:28:22. > :28:28.that the fact that they are closed on the front means it won't be too

:28:29. > :28:34.long. Mo will be absolutely delighted. He has run five laps in

:28:35. > :28:40.70 seconds per lap. For him, that is like a morning jog, it really is.

:28:41. > :28:45.For him, those five laps behind him means the race is shorter, moving in

:28:46. > :28:49.his own. If anything, these long-distance runners are more

:28:50. > :28:59.accomplished over longer distances, half marathon or marathon, Mo is the

:29:00. > :29:02.king on the trap. -- track. Mo is relaxing, looks perfect, looks

:29:03. > :29:06.comfortably controlled there. Not doing anything about it, but nobody

:29:07. > :29:11.is doing anything about it. The longer this goes on, the happier Mo

:29:12. > :29:14.is going to be. He's decided though, that's enough. Now I'm going to let

:29:15. > :29:21.you know I'm around. Moving gradually through the field. Passing

:29:22. > :29:26.the Kenyan athlete who is going to follow him, I'm pretty sure. He has

:29:27. > :29:30.done that. Muchiri has said that, you're the guy we've got to beat if

:29:31. > :29:33.we're going to ever do anything, we're going to knock you off mike

:29:34. > :29:37.the top of the pile. He did it in the half marathon in Cardiff, can he

:29:38. > :29:42.do it in the 2000 metres's we will find out later.

:29:43. > :29:48.That race in Cardiff seems such a long time ago, rainy and blustery in

:29:49. > :29:53.March, that is putting it politely, a rainy and blustery day. Kamworor

:29:54. > :29:57.running one of the most impressive pieces of distance running you can

:29:58. > :30:03.see, a blistering first mile back in the race having practically been

:30:04. > :30:09.trampled by Moe. Of course, Mo Farah wasn't able to live with that. That

:30:10. > :30:12.half marathon, everybody said, can Kamworor come here and do the same,

:30:13. > :30:17.it was a different story on the track. Kamworor now will for the

:30:18. > :30:21.first time, if he has a little look over his shoulder, will see that Mo

:30:22. > :30:25.Farah has got himself involved in the race. He took a lap to get up

:30:26. > :30:27.there, and look at the confusion he has caused behind him. Everybody

:30:28. > :30:40.goes, Mo is up and the game is on. Mo is naughty like that, he goes to

:30:41. > :30:45.the front and then thinks, I think I might slow this down now. But it is

:30:46. > :30:48.absolutely brilliant what he is doing, he let them know he is there.

:30:49. > :30:53.He moves to the front and has let them know who the boss is and that

:30:54. > :30:56.is a bit of psychological warfare. He can't believe it is happening at

:30:57. > :31:00.this pace and we have all been reading how they are going to take

:31:01. > :31:08.him on and run the finish out of him. Mo has been reading that as

:31:09. > :31:11.well and he has adjusted his training slightly. He feels he is a

:31:12. > :31:20.bit stronger. We know how fast the years. -- we know how fast he is.

:31:21. > :31:25.The Kenyans surrounding Mo Farah but not doing anything serious. Mo

:31:26. > :31:31.looking absolutely fantastic tonight, he is so light on his feet

:31:32. > :31:36.these days. Some of the photographs when I was younger, you said, I look

:31:37. > :31:43.a little fatter than this. He says he is now happy and he is ready to

:31:44. > :31:55.run this race. He is getting himself poised. That was the quickest lap of

:31:56. > :32:01.the race so far. 65.1 seconds. Mo, I was with the endurance squad with Mo

:32:02. > :32:06.for a week or so and you are right, he is so relaxed. Still putting the

:32:07. > :32:10.miles in two a few weeks ago. You said he was light on his feet,

:32:11. > :32:14.watching him during his track work when he builds and builds, I can

:32:15. > :32:23.tell you that at the end of one of his sessions, he ran a 49.4, I would

:32:24. > :32:27.have publicised that to the world. It is frightening speed and at the

:32:28. > :32:33.end of the session when he did a lot of miles and kilometres, nobody has

:32:34. > :32:42.that ability and I'm not sure any 10,000 metre runner, even the

:32:43. > :32:49.greats. That is staggering, 49 seconds from Mo Farah. I think you

:32:50. > :32:56.will be really happy. 16 laps remaining, only one lap has really

:32:57. > :33:01.got him... It is beginning to get a little faster. It is beginning to

:33:02. > :33:07.move along. Mo Farah is on the journey, one of only three athletes

:33:08. > :33:14.who have got two Olympic gold medals and Mo is looking for a third.

:33:15. > :33:23.Daley Thompson try to win three gold medals and he finished fourth in

:33:24. > :33:27.1998 in Seoul having won in 1984. This is Mo's chance to try to become

:33:28. > :33:31.the first British athlete to win three gold medals in an Olympic

:33:32. > :33:41.Games. It is looking good for him so far. Mo has fallen. He is quickly

:33:42. > :33:49.up, just got a little clip there and it is the one thing they feared, the

:33:50. > :33:53.whole Mo team, on numerous occasions, the conversation often

:33:54. > :33:57.comes round to what if he falls? One time we jokingly said, even if he

:33:58. > :34:03.fell on the last lap, he would probably get up and win. But you

:34:04. > :34:08.don't want this happening. Mo is just relaxing and it may have been

:34:09. > :34:12.Galen just caught the back of his heel. He is quickly up and he isn't

:34:13. > :34:19.hurt. But that can upset your rhythm. It is an early stage

:34:20. > :34:22.admittedly but it is not good. Galen Rupp, sometimes his training partner

:34:23. > :34:33.but Mo Farah bounced up very quickly. I saw this in the Olympic

:34:34. > :34:38.final in need 10,000 metres when a runner took a tumble but went on to

:34:39. > :34:42.break the world record. I said everything was looking OK for Mo

:34:43. > :34:49.Farah and sadly he tumbled over. I would say, keep away from Galen

:34:50. > :34:54.Rupp! Hopefully that hasn't shaken him too much. What that does, it

:34:55. > :34:59.sends your heart rate shooting high for a little bit. He just needs to

:35:00. > :35:03.settle down for a little bit. They are just winding us up at the front,

:35:04. > :35:14.it is the Ethiopians not the Kenyans doing it. Two of them at the front.

:35:15. > :35:20.Demelash, the younger one. The Kenyans think, OK, thank you, we

:35:21. > :35:25.will take this invitation. Mo Farah just happily as they stretch out a

:35:26. > :35:29.little bit, a few gaps appearing. This injection of pace is beginning

:35:30. > :35:37.to take a little bit of affect and again, is that Kamworor checking

:35:38. > :35:45.behind? Muchiri may be checking behind to say, keep off my heels,

:35:46. > :35:53.please. Muchiri saying to Cheptegei, just be careful.

:35:54. > :36:00.Not too far from the halfway point. It is getting quicker and faster and

:36:01. > :36:07.getting stretched and attention starts to build a little bit.

:36:08. > :36:12.Another 64 second lap. It is pretty quick for a 10,000 metres but they

:36:13. > :36:17.didn't start at that pace. They started very slowly and that was to

:36:18. > :36:23.the advantage of Mo. He is relaxing now, and it is safer now when gaps

:36:24. > :36:26.are opening. Mo has to be a bit more conscious now and be careful, you

:36:27. > :36:31.have to get yourself over the next couple of laps and when they are

:36:32. > :36:37.tired, it can be trouble and you can see little gaps appearing which

:36:38. > :36:40.gives everyone space. The pace is strong but not phenomenal, not

:36:41. > :36:45.testing the likes of Mo Farah. Galen Rupp took the move through the field

:36:46. > :36:52.and you can sense now it is building a little. Jarrion Lawson on the

:36:53. > :37:03.runway. It is for the third time of asking. The young American, 22 years

:37:04. > :37:10.of age, his best so far, 8.19. This is his third attempt. That is big.

:37:11. > :37:16.Lawson has jumped something to challenge the lead here, I believe,

:37:17. > :37:21.the young American, the world leader with 8.58 and he is the danger man,

:37:22. > :37:27.we know that. Did he nick the sand further back? This may not come up

:37:28. > :37:30.as far as it looks. His hand may have dropped back into the sand, the

:37:31. > :37:38.closest point to the board will be the measurement. As Lawson wait

:37:39. > :37:43.anxiously... He likes it, I haven't seen it yet. It is 8.25 and Lawson

:37:44. > :37:49.takes the lead away from Greg Rutherford. We are in the third

:37:50. > :37:57.round of the halfway stage. Jarrion Lawson is now in the lead. The lead

:37:58. > :38:02.changes in the long jump, as it does in the 10,000 metres and now we have

:38:03. > :38:07.the three Kenyans. The race is now on, Paul Tanui, the first one to

:38:08. > :38:12.throw the gauntlet down the Mo Farah and Mo Farah realising this is

:38:13. > :38:16.meaningful, the Ethiopians pushed it on a little bit and picked the pace

:38:17. > :38:21.up and stretch the field out and got the race going but this is serious

:38:22. > :38:29.now. We have passed halfway, 13.53, they did 6000 metres. Bath 5000

:38:30. > :38:33.metres. The last two K have been fairly quick. That is enabling the

:38:34. > :38:39.Kenyans to build on that. Paul Tanui and we thought Tanui would be the

:38:40. > :38:43.one out of the three, if there was a plan, it would be Tanui who might be

:38:44. > :38:51.asked to push it on to help Kamworor. The plan was obviously to

:38:52. > :38:56.let it alone for the first 5000 metres but going through 5000

:38:57. > :39:02.metres, in that time, means Mo Farah is moving into his territory. He can

:39:03. > :39:06.handle 30.53 in training sessions, so he won't be tested over 10,000

:39:07. > :39:13.metres, but over a little more than 5000 metres and that is very much

:39:14. > :39:17.the Mo's advantage. Tanui leading, Kamworor, who hasn't been well

:39:18. > :39:22.recently, he's definitely not the same Geoffrey Kamworor that we saw

:39:23. > :39:27.earlier in the season. I thought he would test Mo Farah over 10,000

:39:28. > :39:30.metres. Andy Vernon running for Great Britain, coming down the home

:39:31. > :39:35.straight. Detached from the field and having a bit of a hard time. It

:39:36. > :39:39.is a bit worn for them and he seems to be sweating quite a lot. The

:39:40. > :39:46.three Kenyans in the lead, Mo Farah is with them and the two Ethiopians

:39:47. > :39:52.on the outside. Galen Rupp has drifted towards the back so Mo Farah

:39:53. > :39:55.has athlete around him and after the shop he had earlier, I think he

:39:56. > :39:59.wants to try to move out a little and give himself a bit of clearance.

:40:00. > :40:08.That is what I would be worried about. Tanui stretching on and here

:40:09. > :40:11.is Jess Ennis. She has come off her run up and come close to the lying

:40:12. > :40:18.and that was the downfall. That is a shame. She did run that but she got

:40:19. > :40:24.very close to the line. She almost had to bail out. Look at this,

:40:25. > :40:28.really close to the line. She had to decelerate but it was a good effort

:40:29. > :40:36.in that second round. But that will be exciting for the 800 metres

:40:37. > :40:38.between herself and Nafi Thiam. 30 years of age, Jess, Nafi Thiam just

:40:39. > :40:46.21. Ennis-Hill still in second place

:40:47. > :40:59.overall. Chopping and changing, just slow

:41:00. > :41:04.down a bit, Paul Tanui, which means it is Muchiri's turn to come to the

:41:05. > :41:15.front. Last year, they went through 5000 in the 30 point -- 13 .53.

:41:16. > :41:21.Muchiri has taken off at the front. It looks like their plan is to do a

:41:22. > :41:24.bit of this, I was surprised when Mo Farah took a tumble and they didn't

:41:25. > :41:29.realise and sees that moment to really make it tough and start

:41:30. > :41:33.injecting the pace early and take advantage of the fact Mo Farah was

:41:34. > :41:37.ruffled a little bit. I have been watching his style and he doesn't

:41:38. > :41:42.seem to be affected by that fall, not carrying any limp. Thankfully,

:41:43. > :41:46.he seems to have come through that all right. The jolt of adrenaline

:41:47. > :41:53.might have given him an extra boost of energy. Not a particularly warm

:41:54. > :41:59.nights, a pretty good night for 10,000 metre running. You don't go

:42:00. > :42:12.and have a drink when the race is on. 63, the previous lap. Muchiri,

:42:13. > :42:16.now... Brendan, surging is good because it hurts a lot of people and

:42:17. > :42:19.Mo Farah has so much pace to burn compared to others. The people

:42:20. > :42:24.surging won't seem like they are surging as much as him. He is

:42:25. > :42:29.working, as good as you are, you are still working at this pace but they

:42:30. > :42:33.are not hurting him yet. He is of course working but he really wants

:42:34. > :42:37.to get on with it now. Changing the pace and he is just following them.

:42:38. > :42:41.The race is getting going, less athletes at the front and he is

:42:42. > :42:44.amongst them all and I think you would be very happy if they kept

:42:45. > :42:49.pressing and kept going and kept moving forward and he is absolutely

:42:50. > :42:54.where he wants to be. As the lap scorers now, it is down in the

:42:55. > :43:00.single figures which really helps you. Kamworor was the one thought to

:43:01. > :43:05.be the danger but he has had a tough couple of weeks and he hasn't been

:43:06. > :43:09.well recently. He is still giving it his best shot tonight but I don't

:43:10. > :43:22.think there is a champion out there. I think Kamworor has shown his good.

:43:23. > :43:25.Kamworor beat Mo Farah over a half marathon, as did Muchiri, but

:43:26. > :43:30.tonight, he really looks comfortable. He's probably thinking,

:43:31. > :43:34.six laps to go, what are you going to do about it? This is Mo Farah

:43:35. > :43:37.territory and they are making it easy for him. The last few laps have

:43:38. > :43:44.been a little calf but not exceptionally so. Demelash now, and

:43:45. > :43:52.the Kenyan plan hasn't evolved at all. If you are going to have a plan

:43:53. > :43:57.which will rip the heart out of Mo Farah, it would be long, hard

:43:58. > :44:07.running. It has been a long and hard night for Ross Millington. He has

:44:08. > :44:12.had a bit of a troubled preparation. Getting his opportunities to be in

:44:13. > :44:16.this great arena but he moves out as the main protagonists come through.

:44:17. > :44:21.It is the Ethiopians looking sprightly right from the beginning.

:44:22. > :44:27.Demelash and Tola. Kamworor still looking laboured. Galen Rupp still

:44:28. > :44:35.in there. He will always come into this well prepared. Well

:44:36. > :44:40.conditioned, Galen Rupp. He has looked pretty relaxed about this and

:44:41. > :44:49.just a bit of a stretch on her. He is doing his share.

:44:50. > :45:01.62, that was the fastest lap of the 10,000 metres, entering its closing

:45:02. > :45:08.stages. Manyonga oh, the 24-year-old South African, 16 in the first

:45:09. > :45:15.round, two foul since then. Rutherford is ahead of him. Chasing

:45:16. > :45:25.down badly. That is a big jump for Manyonga. Well, we didn't expect him

:45:26. > :45:28.to challenge for medals. But it looks as though, in the latter

:45:29. > :45:34.stages, we're into the second half of this men's long jump final, and

:45:35. > :45:40.at the moment it is Lawson's lead of 8:25 that is being challenged by the

:45:41. > :45:44.South African. It is 8:20 eight. Manyonga of South Africa goes into

:45:45. > :45:50.the lead. -- eight number call and 28.

:45:51. > :46:00.Another 62 lap from Demelash. Only one of the Kenyans has got any

:46:01. > :46:07.chance. Mo Farah, Galen Rupp, Muchiri desperately trying to hang

:46:08. > :46:13.on. Geoffrey Kamworor's medal quest looks to be disappearing. We are

:46:14. > :46:18.quickly down to five. Galen Rupp of the USA is hanging on to Mo Farah,

:46:19. > :46:23.hanging on to the two Ethiopians. Mo Farah realises that the danger is

:46:24. > :46:27.not from Kenya, it is Ethiopian. It certainly is. Throughout the Kenyan

:46:28. > :46:30.challenge, the plan to run the finish certainly hasn't happened.

:46:31. > :46:35.Geoffrey Kamworor looked very well coming into the race but clearly he

:46:36. > :46:44.isn't able to do it now. It is to Miri, Mo Farah, Talha, Demelash. Mo

:46:45. > :46:53.has got to be careful. Three laps to go. This is winnable for Farah for

:46:54. > :46:57.this point. Mo has got the ability, stamina, speed. Now it is a case of

:46:58. > :47:02.positioning yourself, Mo. Just get yourself ready, don't give any more

:47:03. > :47:06.chances. We don't want any more spills were accidents. From here,

:47:07. > :47:11.the reigning Olympic champion is in a position where he is driving them.

:47:12. > :47:15.Coming up to 1000 metres. The pace has not been excessive. It has been

:47:16. > :47:23.powerful in the latter stayed us. For the first time, Mo is now in

:47:24. > :47:27.control. He is in the lead. He has got to know if a company, he has got

:47:28. > :47:34.Tala for company, he has got his team-mate in America Galen Rupp for

:47:35. > :47:38.company. And Demelash of Ethiopian. But there are no great champions and

:47:39. > :47:44.that apart from Mo Farah. Baz, concentrate on the race. Two laps to

:47:45. > :47:50.go for Mo Farah. -- Mo. Can he do what no British athlete has ever

:47:51. > :47:56.done before by winning a gold medal? 'S looking comfortable.

:47:57. > :48:06.Mo is looking comfortable. He will see them fairly easily, attempting

:48:07. > :48:11.to win his eighth gold medal. Mo Farah down the back straight with

:48:12. > :48:17.just over 600 metres to go. To has a little look behind. We have got two

:48:18. > :48:22.Ethiopians there, Demelash and Tala. You can almost throw a blanket over

:48:23. > :48:26.the five of them here. Mo Farah just wants to control this. We've been

:48:27. > :48:31.here before, we've seen this before, we know what happens from here. Now

:48:32. > :48:37.it's about determination, it's about Mo Farah getting in the lead. Coming

:48:38. > :48:42.into the home straight, he has got to Miri, who's been there before,

:48:43. > :48:45.he's got Galen Rupp, the silver-medallist from London, he has

:48:46. > :48:50.got Demelash, Hugh looks to be in a little bit of trouble. Has Mo got

:48:51. > :48:54.the power? -- who looks in a bit of trouble. Has he got the speed to

:48:55. > :49:03.defend the title that the great ones have done before him. He has got to

:49:04. > :49:07.try and hold up. Gather yourself again, Mo. He has to dig deep.

:49:08. > :49:14.You've got to look ahead of yourself. Tanui going hard, as fast

:49:15. > :49:19.as he can. Mo Farah having to work hard. Tola is still there. There is

:49:20. > :49:24.danger in front, danger behind. He has a look behind, checking what is

:49:25. > :49:28.there. Mo Farah attempting to retain his 10,000 metre Olympic title.

:49:29. > :49:37.Tanui is giving it everything, but here comes Mo Farah. Mo Farah moves

:49:38. > :49:42.out, and he is sprinting away. This has come to the inevitable. Bow to

:49:43. > :49:51.his superiority, Mo Farah wins the gold. He retained his title. Makes

:49:52. > :50:00.history. He comes the first British athlete to win three Olympic gold

:50:01. > :50:06.medals. The man of his victory a familiar one. -- the manner of his

:50:07. > :50:13.victory. But surely, surely, for Mo Farah this takes him into a place

:50:14. > :50:19.where not only he has ever been, but no British athlete has ever been.

:50:20. > :50:26.Simply wonderful, wonderful distance running from Mo Farah. And you know,

:50:27. > :50:30.he just does a little check of a graze on his shoulder, but that is

:50:31. > :50:36.about as much damage as has been done. We joked, but it is not a

:50:37. > :50:40.joke, to say that the only way he could lose it was to trip up on

:50:41. > :50:45.full. Well, he tripped up and fell but he got up and he still won. But

:50:46. > :50:50.he did it the only that Mo Farah can do, -- the way that only Mo Farah

:50:51. > :50:54.can do. It was absolutely fantastic. It was a plan that we have read

:50:55. > :50:58.about and listen to the Kenyans talking about, once again it didn't

:50:59. > :51:04.unfold. Mo was tested in the later stages of that race. It was a hard

:51:05. > :51:16.last lap. 55 seconds on the last lap. He ran the last mile in 4:03.

:51:17. > :51:19.That was brilliant, brilliant. Seb Coe will be the first one to

:51:20. > :51:24.congratulate him. The British athlete who won to gold muddles.

:51:25. > :51:30.Thomson will be celebrating at home. -- who won two gold medals. Mo has

:51:31. > :51:34.turned two Olympic gold medals into a third. The first British athlete

:51:35. > :51:39.ever to win three Olympic gold medal. What a pleasure it has been

:51:40. > :51:46.watching him on his journey. And the races, he will Sock on them to

:51:47. > :51:50.perfection. Every point in the race he was at the right place. He's

:51:51. > :51:56.tired, and I'm not surprised. That was a hard way to do it. That last

:51:57. > :52:03.lap, 55 seconds, he couldn't run much faster than that, he was under

:52:04. > :52:11.pressure. It was Tanui of Kenya who gave him a race tonight. Just

:52:12. > :52:15.looking at the stats, 13:12, the differential between the winning

:52:16. > :52:17.time, it is almost the same as Beijing last year but the

:52:18. > :52:21.differential is greater than it was last year between the first five on

:52:22. > :52:27.the second five. His last lap was slower. I think most things, if I

:52:28. > :52:35.were 53 in the last lap I win. That was a hard 55. -- if I run. If you

:52:36. > :52:40.are running the mile that leads up to it, you've got be hurting. He is

:52:41. > :52:45.struggling to do the Mobot there. What a joy it has been to watch him.

:52:46. > :52:51.And when he runs tonight, every single point of the race Mo Farah

:52:52. > :52:55.was doing absolute lightning. Only the format was the doubt. Later on

:52:56. > :52:59.he started using his hands and elbows to keep him in that position.

:53:00. > :53:09.Mo Farah, Olympic champion, defending the title. Just like the

:53:10. > :53:13.great ones have done before. Many athletes have won the 10,000 metres

:53:14. > :53:22.twice, including Howie Gabriela C. He has joined the history of

:53:23. > :53:27.distance running, the great ones are on that list. And now Mo Farah joins

:53:28. > :53:30.them. The greatest distance runners of all time, he is getting them

:53:31. > :53:35.company. It wasn't very many years ago when Mo Farah said, can I run a

:53:36. > :53:40.race against Halley Gabriel Selassie, just to see how good he

:53:41. > :53:46.is? And he has actually done it. He has got more gold muddles than

:53:47. > :53:54.Halley Gabriels Alesi. For a man who has won his gold, what about Greg

:53:55. > :53:57.Rutherford? It is turning into Super Saturday the sequel. Greg

:53:58. > :54:03.Rutherford, you may have seen in the back of shot during that wonderful

:54:04. > :54:10.race, he did this. It was a large jump, may have taken the lead, but

:54:11. > :54:15.it was a marginal foul. In fact, it did look long enough to have taken

:54:16. > :54:18.the Legion have been valid. It was a tiny little nick of the plasticine

:54:19. > :54:24.is a will to have taken the lead. The officials were doing their work

:54:25. > :54:35.correctly. Shame. But we do have two jumps remaining.

:54:36. > :54:44.So that happened during the race. Where back live in the fifth round

:54:45. > :54:49.very soon. That almost looks like not foul, then maybe an appeal on

:54:50. > :54:58.that. There may be some drama there. Where back live now, Manyonga is in

:54:59. > :55:05.the lead. 8:28, the young man from South Africa, beaten by his South

:55:06. > :55:10.African team-mate Sam I -- Samaai. Oh, what has he done here? He has

:55:11. > :55:21.just extended his lead, it looks like. Eightth 28. -- 8:20 eight. It

:55:22. > :55:24.looks as though it is eight: 38 in his round five. This kind of

:55:25. > :55:27.distance is pretty much anyone in this final could pop up and jump and

:55:28. > :55:38.win. But Manyonga has found his rhythm. 8:30 seven. Possibly one

:55:39. > :55:42.hand on a gold medal for the South African. Greg is going to have to

:55:43. > :55:46.jump eight salvage this competition and retain his title. But that man

:55:47. > :55:50.has already done it in the 10,000 metres. An incredible race from Mo

:55:51. > :55:55.Farah. He is utterly exhausted, he had to did keep, and we will hear

:55:56. > :55:58.from him shortly. But on this action packed Saturday we have to dip out

:55:59. > :56:02.of the track and field for a minute. Great Britain has a great chance in

:56:03. > :56:09.the swimming. The women's 53 final. The great

:56:10. > :56:23.British athlete in six. They are all here, this is the final

:56:24. > :56:26.that we wanted. The Campbell sisters are here, the world champion is

:56:27. > :56:34.here, the defending Olympic champion is here. There is van Gaal so, she

:56:35. > :56:42.is in the final of the women's 50 metres freestyle.

:56:43. > :56:50.Well, she has been focusing on this format years since a disappointing

:56:51. > :56:57.2012. She has had a good start, as had the Olympic champion. Francis is

:56:58. > :57:01.going well, Fran is in first position. She is in lane six and

:57:02. > :57:11.going well. She needs to really finish down this last five metres.

:57:12. > :57:16.It is the Danish athlete. What a gold medal for Denmark. The silver

:57:17. > :57:24.has gone to the champion on the 100s, and fourth place to the

:57:25. > :57:32.Belarussian athletes. Hal soul is in for. Oh my word, that was close.

:57:33. > :57:36.Fran looked like she had got it all the way down to 45 metres. Penelope

:57:37. > :57:51.Wilton finishing strongly. It is such a close, tight race. -- bloom.

:57:52. > :58:02.She was .2 of a second. She missed gold, and she is forth. Great start

:58:03. > :58:05.with determination for Bloom. She has not put a foot wrong. In the

:58:06. > :58:12.middle she was well down, left of the yellow lanes. Fran is leading at

:58:13. > :58:17.this point, 15 metres to go. Manuel is seventh, looking like she was

:58:18. > :58:26.going in first. Bloom gets the fingertip touch. From the minute she

:58:27. > :58:33.saw her name, she can't believe it. She is being congratulated by the

:58:34. > :58:38.other athletes. Back inside the athletic Stadium, Mo Farah has

:58:39. > :58:41.finally found his wife Tanya and his daughter Rhiannon. They have

:58:42. > :58:47.travelled here. The other children aren't home. We will get huge

:58:48. > :58:55.reaction, I'm sure, for a bit later on -- at home. We will catch up with

:58:56. > :59:02.the long jump. It's the American on the runway, Geoffrey Henderson. The

:59:03. > :59:12.world leader with eight metres and 58. So he is capable of taking this

:59:13. > :59:14.from the South African. 8:37 leave the Olympic final. Rutherford is in

:59:15. > :59:22.third place at the moment. What a strange jump! It is clearly very

:59:23. > :59:26.close to the plasticine. Rutherford is behind there, keen to get going.

:59:27. > :59:31.It is valid, but it seemed to forward rotate, that was a weird

:59:32. > :59:35.job. It seemed to forward rotate and force his legs down. It was a big

:59:36. > :59:44.effort. He is capable of more. This is going to be some last round.

:59:45. > :59:53.Anderson. 8:22, the same distance as Greg Rutherford but better on count

:59:54. > :59:57.back, he goes into second place. Oh, this is drama. Rutherford out of the

:59:58. > :00:04.medals, having been in the lead early in the competition. What can

:00:05. > :00:08.he do about it in this fifth round? Oh, he worked for that. Stretched

:00:09. > :00:16.and reached. Oh, I don't like the look of that in round five. I'd like

:00:17. > :00:19.to have seen something to give us confidence that he is going to go

:00:20. > :00:24.big in the last round. I'm sure he gathers all the optimism that he

:00:25. > :00:28.can, but that is a jump that won't improve his position, I don't

:00:29. > :00:32.believe. He's in fourth place with one jump remaining. At the moment,

:00:33. > :00:35.it's the South African Manyonga out in front. And then the two

:00:36. > :00:41.Americans, Rutherford still in fourth place.

:00:42. > :00:53.Let's have a look at the one really anxious moments, chipped by Galen

:00:54. > :00:58.Rupp. He did do well though, when he was falling, he was already

:00:59. > :01:04.beginning to get ready to get up. There he is on the last lap, Paul

:01:05. > :01:12.Tanui next him and Paul Tanui makes the move and Mo let him go. At this

:01:13. > :01:17.moment, a couple of anxious glances over his shoulder, nothing coming

:01:18. > :01:22.from Tola. He is stretching and running strongly but Mo has one man

:01:23. > :01:26.ahead of him for his Olympic gold medal and he is not going to give it

:01:27. > :01:32.up easily. Mo Farah will always give 100%. Up to the straight and Mo

:01:33. > :01:38.moving, Paul Tanui stretching and they are pulling away from Tola. Mo

:01:39. > :01:42.kicks and gets a few yards and look again, another effort from Tanui, he

:01:43. > :01:51.won the gold medal but Mo knows he will get it. Mo comes home, hands on

:01:52. > :01:59.his head. He really is one of the greatest of all time. The great

:02:00. > :02:06.names we talk about, Haile Gebrselassie among others, we are

:02:07. > :02:09.now looking at the great Mo Farah. On the Olympic stage for the third

:02:10. > :02:14.time, celebrating as he has developed over the years, and that

:02:15. > :02:19.was a hard run over the last lap. I am pretty sure he found it hard but

:02:20. > :02:23.we have seen it before. Looks over his shoulder, there is nothing

:02:24. > :02:26.coming and he can get ready to celebrate and he does. What a

:02:27. > :02:32.delight to see, what a great athlete and guy and what a journey he has

:02:33. > :02:35.been on. You can relax now, Mo. Three gold medals, more than any

:02:36. > :02:41.other British athlete has ever won before.

:02:42. > :02:50.What a moment the Mo Farah. Not that long ago, he went on his lap of

:02:51. > :02:56.honour, desperately trying to find his wife and Rhianna is in the crowd

:02:57. > :03:01.as well. He eventually did. We will be speaking to Mo shortly hopefully.

:03:02. > :03:04.But first, the action continues thick and fast and Michael Rimmer

:03:05. > :03:11.going for Great Britain in this semifinal. It is the 800 metres

:03:12. > :03:15.first two and the next two will get through to the final tomorrow. I am

:03:16. > :03:21.told Michael hasn't been too well in the village so it'll be interesting

:03:22. > :03:26.to see he performs. All of these semis are tough. Mark loosely is in

:03:27. > :03:40.this. Big threats. Lewandowski as well. Ferrer of Brazil has gone off.

:03:41. > :03:45.-- Davide. Olympic semifinals are always hard. It will be a very tough

:03:46. > :03:48.one for Michael Rimmer. I heard you say he hadn't been well but he will

:03:49. > :03:53.have to do his best night. He certainly won't go through if you

:03:54. > :04:01.doesn't. The Brazilian crowd going mad, having a Brazilian leader.

:04:02. > :04:05.Bosse is on his shoulder. The Olympic 1500 metre champion on the

:04:06. > :04:09.outside and there is Lewandowski on the back straight making a run. I

:04:10. > :04:15.think they are going too fast for Michael Rimmer. Bosse glides to the

:04:16. > :04:21.front. Makhloufi looking a little tested for the first time. Michael

:04:22. > :04:26.Rimmer struggling as we thought he might do. Look at McGlynn free, the

:04:27. > :04:35.1500 specialist, looking incredibly strong. -- look at Makhloufi. The

:04:36. > :04:45.others will be chasing times. Cheruiyot now being passed by

:04:46. > :04:54.Lewandowski. That is quick. Michael Rimmer was always going to find that

:04:55. > :04:57.tough even if he was 100% and Makhloufi is the 1500 metres

:04:58. > :05:04.specialist. Bosse made the right move down the straight, I like the

:05:05. > :05:08.way he is running at the moment. He has had so many injury problems

:05:09. > :05:12.which he has overcome, Michael Rimmer, he has been in pretty good

:05:13. > :05:16.shape. Not the only one in the British camp who has been ill. They

:05:17. > :05:20.were a couple this morning as well. Sadly the end of his Olympic

:05:21. > :05:25.campaign. It is a shame for Michael Rimmer but the feel he had today in

:05:26. > :05:27.the semifinal was outstanding. Bosse looking comfortable, looking strong.

:05:28. > :05:49.Makhloufi driving. Now they are racing the third and

:05:50. > :05:53.fourth place. I wonder if we will see explosions later on in the other

:05:54. > :05:57.800 metres because we see the time of that one and it is two to go

:05:58. > :06:06.through, the two fastest losers to the final. We will have to wait and

:06:07. > :06:17.see. Take a breath, Henderson does exactly that in preparation for his

:06:18. > :06:20.final jump. It has been an enthralling position which saw Greg

:06:21. > :06:25.Rutherford in the lead but then pushed down to fourth place as it

:06:26. > :06:33.now stands. Just one jump remaining. We have seen Manyonga, the event

:06:34. > :06:37.leader, with a foul. The order has reversed but it was reversed at the

:06:38. > :06:43.halfway stage and he did his best jump after that. His event is over,

:06:44. > :06:47.which means in some ways, he is a bit of a sitting duck because he has

:06:48. > :06:53.no way of responding to anything else that others do. Jeff

:06:54. > :06:57.Henderson's previous attempt was excellent, apart from the landing.

:06:58. > :07:03.If he gets it right, I wouldn't be surprised if this man goes into the

:07:04. > :07:08.lead. What is his Championship temperament like? We are about to

:07:09. > :07:14.find out. The most important moment of his competitive career. Jeff

:07:15. > :07:19.Henderson... Unusual preparation, scoffing that foot backwards and

:07:20. > :07:27.forwards. Henderson in the bronze medal position. He has done it! Jeff

:07:28. > :07:34.Henderson, the white flag is raised. There was no surprise, he teed it up

:07:35. > :07:40.in Round 5. An acknowledgement from Manyonga. Rutherford is next up, he

:07:41. > :07:46.could be lifted by this. It may be out of his reach because Henderson

:07:47. > :07:58.has just jumped 8.38. He is in the lead. Unbelievable jump. That is one

:07:59. > :08:05.of the best competitive efforts. We have seen it in the shot put and the

:08:06. > :08:08.discus. Manyonga put down into second place but the Greg

:08:09. > :08:17.Rutherford, it is not over yet because he has another jump. He

:08:18. > :08:22.jumped 8.41 to take the world title, 8.31 to win four years ago, just to

:08:23. > :08:26.give you the context of the distances and where we are at. It is

:08:27. > :08:35.something Rutherford is capable of but he needs to produce the jump of

:08:36. > :08:41.his life. No wind to talk of. What a moment this is. He has seen Mo Farah

:08:42. > :08:47.take the gold in the 10,000 metres, his team-mate Jessica Ennis-Hill is

:08:48. > :08:55.going to have to fight hard in the 800 metres, the final event of the

:08:56. > :09:00.heptathlon, if she is to take gold. She's up against Nafi Thiam. But

:09:01. > :09:04.back to this tense moment for Greg Rutherford. Support for the crowd.

:09:05. > :09:23.Rutherford in fourth place. His best so far 8.2 to. -- 8.2 -- eight .22.

:09:24. > :09:30.It is bang on it. Has he done it? It is a white flag! Greg Rutherford may

:09:31. > :09:40.have just produced the jump of his life. Oh, my word, what is it? It is

:09:41. > :09:46.8.29. It does take him into the medals. He is in third place.

:09:47. > :09:54.Jarrion Lawson, the Americans still the jump. Congratulations from Jeff

:09:55. > :10:04.Henderson. He looks likely to take gold unless his team-mate can not

:10:05. > :10:08.only take the gold but also knock Rutherford out of the medals because

:10:09. > :10:14.Lawson is the man who was in bronze medal position before that jump of

:10:15. > :10:22.Rutherford. So it is all changing position in this final round. What a

:10:23. > :10:34.competition. Jarrion Lawson, won the long jump... Something Jesse Owens

:10:35. > :10:38.did. He so talented. Has he done it? He may have just jumped a gold medal

:10:39. > :10:45.jump in the final jump of the competition. That may also push

:10:46. > :10:51.Rutherford out of the medals. This has turned into one of the greatest

:10:52. > :10:55.long jump competitions ever. Maybe not in terms of distance, but in

:10:56. > :11:01.terms of who is going to get what and how and when. Two fouls

:11:02. > :11:08.previously, Rutherford has just walked off shaking his head and

:11:09. > :11:14.Henderson cannot watch. Jarrion Lawson... His hand dropped back into

:11:15. > :11:19.the sand. I was going to say I thought I saw a hand in the sand and

:11:20. > :11:29.he is not happy. Here we go. The coaches are in, he is not having it.

:11:30. > :11:35.His left hand dragged into the sand. It is hard to tell at such speed. If

:11:36. > :11:39.we can see in slow motion, we may well see what the officials have

:11:40. > :11:42.measured. Good news for Greg Rutherford if it stands because it

:11:43. > :11:46.means he comes away with something. Maybe not quite what he would have

:11:47. > :12:01.wanted. Henderson is already celebrating. It is gold, he says.

:12:02. > :12:05.What an end to that competition. Lawson looking as though he doesn't

:12:06. > :12:10.believe it. The coach is not having it. I think they will just have to

:12:11. > :12:14.back down. I think when they see it on video, they might just see...

:12:15. > :12:19.Let's have a look, look at his left hand. It scuffs just below the

:12:20. > :12:26.eight-metre Mark Ridgers what it was measured at. Lawson knows and the

:12:27. > :12:32.crowd knows because it is on the screen and Greg Rutherford knows

:12:33. > :12:39.also. That was a decent effort from Rutherford. He didn't look great in

:12:40. > :12:46.qualification yesterday. He has just earned himself a bronze medal. It

:12:47. > :12:52.looks like Jeff Henderson... It is confirmed for sure now. Season's

:12:53. > :12:57.best has just come up, I'm not sure that is correct. Good throw from Dan

:12:58. > :13:04.Pfaff I think with the flag, it went over Greg's head! This is Lawson who

:13:05. > :13:07.was in fourth, remember he is chasing the lead and he definitely

:13:08. > :13:13.scuffs on the far side of the sandpit. He just flicked the sand

:13:14. > :13:19.and that is where they are measuring back to. Read Rutherford

:13:20. > :13:28.consoling... Or gloating, I'm not sure! Wonderful drama, brilliant

:13:29. > :13:36.competition. We might see this again. Lawson is taking off, watch

:13:37. > :13:42.his left hand so the right side of the screen. It drops low and his

:13:43. > :13:47.feet are ahead of where it he is wanting to be and his knuckles of

:13:48. > :13:57.his hand just scuffs the sand. He can't argue with that. Once the

:13:58. > :13:59.coaches Hasina, they back down. But Rutherford, a bronze medal and a

:14:00. > :14:07.very competitive effort. A good performance.

:14:08. > :14:12.What an amazing night inside the Olympic Stadium and an amazing

:14:13. > :14:17.competition in the long jump and this is the second of three

:14:18. > :14:22.semifinals and the men's 800 metres. Just an incredible atmosphere in her

:14:23. > :14:28.this evening. So much more to come as well. This is the line-up for the

:14:29. > :14:34.second semifinal, look out for the Americans, random McBride --

:14:35. > :14:48.Canadian Brandon McBride and Boris Berian. The American. There is

:14:49. > :15:15.Andreas Bube from Denmark in Lane 1. Brandon McBride is outside Berian.

:15:16. > :15:20.Mohammed Aman outside them. Two to go through automatically and the two

:15:21. > :15:21.fastest losers. Very fast first semifinal so this has to be pacey as

:15:22. > :15:34.well. If Tuka finishes strongly he may

:15:35. > :15:41.well be a factor. But McBride and Berian like to get out in front. But

:15:42. > :15:45.Kipketer is not having any of that just now. They have run very

:15:46. > :15:49.quickly, they are going after him really. It is a bit aggressive by

:15:50. > :16:00.Kipketer. Berian likes to be a frontrunner. Aman is taking a closer

:16:01. > :16:03.order. Tuka is going a Conservative pace, judging it well, moving

:16:04. > :16:11.through nicely out of the shadow of the leader. That is a fast opening

:16:12. > :16:14.lap in the semifinal. If you come into the semifinal, you have got to

:16:15. > :16:22.do something like that. Kipketer from McBride. McBride coming

:16:23. > :16:26.through. Berian moving alongside Kipketer. Kipketer trying to hold

:16:27. > :16:29.off the powerful American. Or as barium. Brandon McBride moving

:16:30. > :16:41.through into third place. Reinhardt is there. Kipketer still holding on.

:16:42. > :16:44.Boris Berian. Two to go through automatically. Can McBride get

:16:45. > :16:48.there? Tuka is sitting in the shoulder of the Canadian at the

:16:49. > :16:53.moment. Van Rensburg is looking tired, but he is trying. They are

:16:54. > :17:01.separating themselves. It's Kipketer and Boris Berian, they are going to

:17:02. > :17:05.be the two automatic qualifiers. A little slap of celebration from

:17:06. > :17:10.Boris Berian, who goes through. The two men have finished in front. They

:17:11. > :17:15.controlled the race and have the strength to hold on. They certainly

:17:16. > :17:19.did. They were almost racing from the first step. Actually, Kipketer

:17:20. > :17:26.moving all the way. Berian trying to get past him. Aman is run out of it

:17:27. > :17:31.completely. The world champion from a view years ago doesn't make it

:17:32. > :17:35.through. But Berian -- a few years ago. Berian wanted to be in the

:17:36. > :17:40.lead. Kipketer is working hard, making them work for it, stretching

:17:41. > :17:43.them all the way. As we zoom in and around the bend, from nowhere, here

:17:44. > :17:47.they come, they are racing every step of the way. Kit Kat was the

:17:48. > :17:55.winner, Berian's timing closed down on him. The athletes who followed

:17:56. > :17:59.the pace of fading away because it was so quick. 50 seconds on the

:18:00. > :18:03.first lap, 54 seconds on the second. But the winner of the Kenyan trials

:18:04. > :18:07.at the 800 metres is always going to be a danger at the Olympic Games,

:18:08. > :18:12.and Kipketer is exactly that. He is going to be a danger in the final.

:18:13. > :18:16.And his fellow countrymen, Ferguson Cherry, he might well go through,

:18:17. > :18:22.one of the losers still quick enough. Nobody outside the top two

:18:23. > :18:26.is going to go through. No good news is that the Algerian, who took third

:18:27. > :18:33.place. But Kipketer and Boris Berian are safely through to Monday's

:18:34. > :18:39.final. Confirmation of the results. Kipketer and Berian not quick

:18:40. > :18:46.enough, Tuka still the fastest losers.

:18:47. > :18:54.We have still got the climax of the Getafe one. This is Nafi Thiam, the

:18:55. > :19:01.event leader, throwing the javelin. -- of the heptathlon. 50 metres to

:19:02. > :19:05.extend her lead. This is going to be an enthralling two lap race. A

:19:06. > :19:08.glimpse of Jessica Ennis-Hill, the reigning champion. These are the

:19:09. > :19:13.standings as a result of what happened in that javelin. Thiam

:19:14. > :19:21.extended the lead, 142 points ahead of Jessica Ennis-Hill. We equate

:19:22. > :19:24.that to around ten seconds. Katarina Johnson-Thompson's 36 metres but her

:19:25. > :19:33.from third down to eight. Brianne Theisen Eaton, the world leader,

:19:34. > :19:37.looks a likely bronze-medallist. She's a decent 800-metre runner.

:19:38. > :19:41.Johnson-Thompson has to run the race of her life, possibly too much I had

:19:42. > :19:49.to get back into the medals. Some ten seconds she is going to need to

:19:50. > :19:53.catch up, maybe too much. So, not too long until that 800 metres, the

:19:54. > :19:59.final of the heptathlon. Of course, we have already had one Gold medal

:20:00. > :20:07.from Mo Farah. Afterwards, he chatted to fill.

:20:08. > :20:11.Mo, congratulations, it was a fantastic performance. It looked

:20:12. > :20:17.like a really emotional performance for you at the end. Yeah, definitely

:20:18. > :20:20.it was really emotional. You know, some things you don't control, what

:20:21. > :20:26.happens in the race. When I went down I was just like, I managed to

:20:27. > :20:30.get up quickly, just try and then about how much I've worked for this

:20:31. > :20:39.race, I wasn't going to let that go. , Difficult was it? You work hard

:20:40. > :20:44.mentally. When you go down you get really emotional. I had to pick

:20:45. > :20:49.myself back up. Just work through. And when I crossed the line, I just

:20:50. > :20:53.got really emotional, because, you know, what goes in, you can't

:20:54. > :20:59.imagine how hard you work for it. In one moment it's gone. We know how

:21:00. > :21:06.much hard work you put in. 120 miles per week plus, the sacrifices you

:21:07. > :21:10.may, missing your family, six months out of each year you are training.

:21:11. > :21:15.Does that go through your mind when you're in a race like that? It does,

:21:16. > :21:20.that's why I'm emotional now, because, I work hard, you know,

:21:21. > :21:24.spend a lot of away from my family and everything. You know, that one

:21:25. > :21:29.moment could be gone. It is out of your control. I just had to believe

:21:30. > :21:35.in myself, get through it. I wanted to do it for my kids. Rhianna has a

:21:36. > :21:41.gold medal, I wanted to get it to my other girl, that one is the her.

:21:42. > :21:46.I've got one more for my little boy. I want to recover now. Get some time

:21:47. > :21:51.with my family, relax a bit. That will be another piece of history,

:21:52. > :21:54.the 5000. You have created history, the first athlete from Great Britain

:21:55. > :21:58.to win three gold medal. I know history is important to you. It is,

:21:59. > :22:02.to make my country proud and make history, it is the dream of every

:22:03. > :22:10.athlete, I want to continue to do doing what I enjoy and and good at.

:22:11. > :22:13.You made the nation proud again tonight, congratulations on a

:22:14. > :22:20.wonderful performance. Thank you, thank you everyone for your support.

:22:21. > :22:27.One down, one to go. No rest for the special one. They will have to think

:22:28. > :22:31.about the 5000 metres producing. From one special one to another,

:22:32. > :22:37.David reducer, who broke the world record, let's not forget, how could

:22:38. > :22:41.he. -- David Rudisha. As much as Mo Farah was the start for us, one of

:22:42. > :22:47.the stars, David Rudisha, almost stole the show with that front

:22:48. > :22:52.running superb performance. So, he is the defending champion but this

:22:53. > :22:56.year he has had one or two races that have not gone his way, but he

:22:57. > :22:58.looked good in qualifications. He has got one of his big threats

:22:59. > :23:20.against him, Adam Kszczot. Rudisha will probably do as he

:23:21. > :23:24.always likes to, try and control this. Kszczot got off quickly, he

:23:25. > :23:28.normally likes to stay out of the way. It might be that he wants to

:23:29. > :23:34.give Rudisha a little reminder. He might stick close to him, which

:23:35. > :23:44.might not be something which... I would like to see him do this a bit

:23:45. > :23:51.more often. It is Rudisha,, and Souleiman in front. He can't be

:23:52. > :23:55.overtaken, Kszczot is close-up and accelerating. 51.6. And now the

:23:56. > :24:00.great David Rudisha. He is obviously not in the shape that he was when he

:24:01. > :24:03.broke the world record in London. He is obviously going to be in a race

:24:04. > :24:07.today, and hopefully in the final, but he is trying to do it his way,

:24:08. > :24:11.which is just accelerate all the way now. Down the back straight, you can

:24:12. > :24:16.see him picking up, the athletes behind him, little brats are going.

:24:17. > :24:23.Kszczot there once again has gotten response. -- little gaps are

:24:24. > :24:29.growing. Rudisha goes faster. Rudisha picking it up. Murphy had to

:24:30. > :24:32.squeeze through Souleiman, can he get past Kszczot? He would do very

:24:33. > :24:38.well to do so because they can both finish quickly. Is Kszczot in danger

:24:39. > :24:41.of not going through? Clayton Murphy, the great talent,

:24:42. > :24:49.21-year-old from the USA, takes second behind rubbish. -- behind

:24:50. > :24:58.Rudisha. That is going to be tight in terms of a fastest loser spot.

:24:59. > :25:02.Which is currently, his team-mate Lewandowski and Ferguson Cherry.

:25:03. > :25:06.Clayton Murphy is true. I suspect that Kszczot is not. And indeed,

:25:07. > :25:11.that is confirmed. Kszczot will not go through as the fastest loser. He

:25:12. > :25:15.ran aggressively for once, he didn't wait, and maybe he paid for that

:25:16. > :25:20.because it was Murphy who ran the smarter race. He probably won't do

:25:21. > :25:23.that again, Steve. David Rudisha applying the extra pressure. Lifting

:25:24. > :25:28.and running strongly all the way through. And they say he's not as

:25:29. > :25:32.good as he was in 2012, but I tell you what, he's pretty good still.

:25:33. > :25:35.Clayton Murphy running an exceptional performance, overtaking

:25:36. > :25:41.Kszczot on the finishing straight. He is coming through. Souleiman run

:25:42. > :25:44.out of it, but David Rudisha, anybody is going to have some

:25:45. > :25:48.difficulty should try and beat him in the final. Kszczot fading away.

:25:49. > :25:54.Clayton Murphy running himself into the final, but David Rudisha, the

:25:55. > :26:01.great man, proud and strong and ready to defend his title. I'm

:26:02. > :26:06.pretty sure. Yeah, he looked very good, didn't he? I wasn't sure,

:26:07. > :26:11.couple of these games, but I think I've had Michael Trend is restored

:26:12. > :26:14.in the great man. And he certainly looks full of confidence, full of

:26:15. > :26:18.running. Well done to Clayton Murphy, he had his head in his

:26:19. > :26:22.hands, he thought he was the fastest loser. Kszczot will just miss out by

:26:23. > :26:35.five hundredths of a second in terms of going through a fastest loser. --

:26:36. > :26:38.going through as the fastest loser. Well, English Gardner, what a war

:26:39. > :26:47.for Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. So often in the shadow of Usain Bolt,

:26:48. > :26:51.she is the defending to time Olympic title. Dafne Schippers, if she gets

:26:52. > :26:55.a good start, my goodness. Talk about eight of the athletes, all

:26:56. > :26:59.eight finalists went below 11 seconds in the semifinals. Six of

:27:00. > :27:02.them were separated by two hundredths of a second. Shelly-Ann

:27:03. > :27:06.Fraser-Pryce is looking to do what no woman athlete has done, and win

:27:07. > :27:11.three successive individual Olympic titles. She won in Beijing, she won

:27:12. > :27:16.in London, and here she is going for it again. In these moments, the

:27:17. > :27:22.psychological test as well at the Sprint, who has the mental edge in a

:27:23. > :27:39.race that will be one by fractions? -- that will be won. Chris Daniel

:27:40. > :27:48.late night in Rio, the final of the women's 100m. Their cleanly away,

:27:49. > :27:53.and a roar from the crowd. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is heading

:27:54. > :28:02.by Elaine Thompson, Elaine Thompson in front, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

:28:03. > :28:12.trying to get there, 10:72 and a war from Elaine Thompson. -- a roar. It

:28:13. > :28:16.passes from Shelley and -- Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to Elaine

:28:17. > :28:22.Thompson, and she won it by a distance in the end. What a run from

:28:23. > :28:29.Elaine Thompson. The Olympic champion. Not to be a hat-trick for

:28:30. > :28:33.Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Tori Bowie came through for silver. There is a

:28:34. > :28:41.medal for Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. It is bronze. There is a great run

:28:42. > :28:46.-- it was a great run from her. But gold goes to Elaine Thompson. What a

:28:47. > :28:56.magnificent run by this Jamaican woman. From Manchester, not England,

:28:57. > :28:59.but Jamaica. Elaine Thompson trained with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, they

:29:00. > :29:02.know each other very well indeed. She was dominant at the do make an

:29:03. > :29:08.championships when she called the Jamaican record of -- the Jamaican

:29:09. > :29:12.champion. Incredible piece of running, very disciplined in her

:29:13. > :29:16.running. She approached this whole race, out of the bronze really well,

:29:17. > :29:20.technically hard to fault all the way, no pressure whatsoever. She

:29:21. > :29:25.felt herself easing away from this pack around 40 or 50 metres, and she

:29:26. > :29:30.could just get into that beautiful loping stride of hers which took her

:29:31. > :29:35.cleanly to the gold, a well-deserved gold medal. Valerie Adams tried here

:29:36. > :29:38.in Rio, and now Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has tried to win three

:29:39. > :29:43.successive gold medal at three Olympics. She hasn't quite done it.

:29:44. > :29:48.But there is a bronze medal for her, it is a Jamaican first and third,

:29:49. > :29:53.and Tori Bowie, the silver medals. A great race. Looking at the times

:29:54. > :30:02.again. Williams had a few problems, and she was well out of the field,

:30:03. > :30:07.but seven were under 11 seconds. I expected it to be a clean sweep,

:30:08. > :30:10.Williams had some problems, but what a great race that was behind Elaine

:30:11. > :30:15.Thompson. Who would have thought that Dafne Schippers, all the good

:30:16. > :30:21.runs she has done this season, would be down in fifth place?

:30:22. > :30:31.This is the race, in Lane 4, looked at Elaine Thompson, beautiful

:30:32. > :30:38.running, very smooth and fluent. She makes it look easy, incredible. And

:30:39. > :30:47.so close for that bronze medal behind Elaine Thompson, Tori Bowie

:30:48. > :30:57.came through. Tori Bowie, you see her coming through, great 200-metre

:30:58. > :31:06.runner and Schippers has left itself with too much to do. Shelly-Ann

:31:07. > :31:10.Fraser-Pryce just gets a medal. There is a gap there and that is an

:31:11. > :31:15.impressive victory by Elaine Thompson. She has been strong, all

:31:16. > :31:21.the time she has been brilliant, I will be honest, and I expected her

:31:22. > :31:26.to go under that 10.7 mark soon enough. Look how smooth and fluent

:31:27. > :31:31.cheers, it looks effortless. Look at everyone around her and she looks so

:31:32. > :31:37.comfortable in her running. Great to see that and she does run that 200

:31:38. > :31:40.metres, what can we expect from this young lady? She was a

:31:41. > :31:44.silver-medallist behind Schippers but she wasn't sprinting as fast as

:31:45. > :31:49.this. Good to see a victory and Olympic champion. Right out in

:31:50. > :31:54.front, Elaine Thompson, but English Gardner run 10.94, the US champion

:31:55. > :32:02.roundabout and was down in seventh place. The calibre of that final,

:32:03. > :32:08.won by Elaine Thompson, the Olympic 100 metres champion. Shelly-Ann

:32:09. > :32:14.Fraser-Pryce gives up her crown but gets a bronze medal.

:32:15. > :32:22.What was it like to be in the centre of that competition? Fantastic, very

:32:23. > :32:26.pleased I was able to pick myself up after yesterday and pull out a few

:32:27. > :32:30.half decent jumps. The one they called a foul, they actually gave me

:32:31. > :32:34.in the end, which is frustrating because that would probably have put

:32:35. > :32:40.me back in the lead for a while but it is one of those things. I have

:32:41. > :32:44.been -- I thought I would have been never disappointed with a bronze

:32:45. > :32:51.medal in my career but I am gutted. That is what makes you the great

:32:52. > :32:56.champion you are. It is one of those things, you are forever and Olympic

:32:57. > :32:59.champion, you have not won the gold tonight but you are still adding to

:33:00. > :33:06.your collection. You are understandably disappointed. Yes.

:33:07. > :33:10.You set yourself high goals. I feel like I have been shaped to jump far

:33:11. > :33:14.and it is frustrating when you don't feel like you have Daniels of

:33:15. > :33:20.justice. I didn't see anyone out there who wasn't unbeatable tonight.

:33:21. > :33:27.I am pleased, I was down in fourth and I managed to come out and get

:33:28. > :33:30.myself a medal still but I come to the Championships to win, not to

:33:31. > :33:36.finish third. It is very frustrating. I gave it absolutely

:33:37. > :33:40.everything I could in the last round, I was desperate to try to

:33:41. > :33:47.take it back and I felt I could. It just wasn't to beta mode. I guess

:33:48. > :34:00.two Olympic medals in your career isn't too bad. -- it just wasn't to

:34:01. > :34:08.be the night. What is going through your mind? Are you thinking of

:34:09. > :34:11.family, supporters? Of course, for me, it is always my family and I

:34:12. > :34:15.spend so much time away from them and that is very difficult in

:34:16. > :34:20.itself. You want to go home and make them proud and everything else. For

:34:21. > :34:25.me, I set myself up to try to win these things and tonight is

:34:26. > :34:30.disappointing. I know they will be proud anyway and they are a

:34:31. > :34:35.fantastic support team but I wanted to bring home that gold medal again.

:34:36. > :34:42.Appreciate you talking to us and I'm sure they are very proud of you.

:34:43. > :34:45.Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Sorry it wasn't a victory but you

:34:46. > :34:53.will have to settle for a medal, I'm afraid. GABBY LOGAN: They saw what

:34:54. > :34:56.we saw which was a magnificent long jump competition, one of the

:34:57. > :35:04.greatest in the Championships for a while. And he was part of something

:35:05. > :35:07.very special. He has been so dominant for so long, there was

:35:08. > :35:14.going to be a time somebody got their a game together. Today was

:35:15. > :35:20.that day. Nothing to be ashamed, embarrassed or upset about. Of

:35:21. > :35:26.course, bronze medal, gold medal, major medals... Gold medals at the

:35:27. > :35:31.World Championships, Greg has been fantastic. No doubt about that. We

:35:32. > :35:36.knew and he knew, the standard of the long jump, in terms of the long

:35:37. > :35:46.jump over the years, it has been fairly low, there is no doubt. There

:35:47. > :35:50.was going to come a time when someone was going to raise that

:35:51. > :35:54.standard and those guys did tonight. It was one of the most competitive

:35:55. > :35:58.long jump competitions I think I have ever seen. And Greg was in

:35:59. > :36:04.there and he gave it his best. I'm sure he was disappointed because he

:36:05. > :36:09.knows he can jump that. He can produce a job that could have put in

:36:10. > :36:12.on top. The foul did look like it was, that big jump, it didn't get

:36:13. > :36:16.measured so it doesn't make any difference. The fact he didn't

:36:17. > :36:19.really protest that means he probably saw something we couldn't

:36:20. > :36:25.see on the screen and it probably was a foul. Amazing competition and

:36:26. > :36:29.he should be proud of what he did. I'm sure once he goes back and he

:36:30. > :36:33.has had some time to reflect on it, he will be proud on it but as a true

:36:34. > :36:38.competitor right now, he is thinking, I know I have got that

:36:39. > :36:43.jump in me. I'm sure he has done it in practice and knows he could have

:36:44. > :36:48.produced it. He is feeling like he has lost a gold, rather than winning

:36:49. > :36:52.a bronze. This was his sixth jump and time after time, we have seen

:36:53. > :36:57.him pull out a big jump when he needs it. He has run so well, and

:36:58. > :37:05.being competitive, that is what we are used to seeing from him and he

:37:06. > :37:09.looked like he was going to challenge from that first position.

:37:10. > :37:17.His response shows at all, you have to feel for him. There were big jobs

:37:18. > :37:22.out there but not necessarily the Championships. -- jumps. But

:37:23. > :37:25.Henderson today got it together. He did, at the right time, he has had

:37:26. > :37:33.the longest jump in the world this year.

:37:34. > :37:39.They were competitive at the US Championships, these guys have been

:37:40. > :37:43.battling all year long. I think they were more ready to respond and they

:37:44. > :37:46.are used to having to come back and respond to big jumps and they did

:37:47. > :37:51.that today because the lead just continue to change. Fantastic

:37:52. > :37:57.performance by Henderson, a great long jumper and this is his reaction

:37:58. > :38:01.when he realises what he jumped. Fantastic performance and we were

:38:02. > :38:07.treated to something special with that long jump. I haven't seen one

:38:08. > :38:14.like that over the years. Greg put a big marker out at the beginning, a

:38:15. > :38:19.good one. And the increments were so tight. That was fantastic for us to

:38:20. > :38:23.see. The drama was there at the end and it was almost a fiasco at the

:38:24. > :38:31.end, because we thought we had seen the winning jump in a competition

:38:32. > :38:36.and then ensued all kinds of chaos. This jump on first viewing, to the

:38:37. > :38:40.naked eye, you can see why his coach didn't spot the hand. When you are

:38:41. > :38:45.looking the other hand, you can see it. And we have the luxury of the

:38:46. > :38:51.slow motion replays and you can see there, his hand. But his coach

:38:52. > :38:55.hasn't even seen it and he wanted to protest it. I think Greg went over

:38:56. > :38:59.and explain to the coach what had happened. You have to feel for him

:39:00. > :39:05.because he really responded and pulled out a really big jump and it

:39:06. > :39:14.wasn't to be. He won't make that mistake again. It is a harsh lesson.

:39:15. > :39:21.It was just a messy landing. It is just unfortunate. You jumped before,

:39:22. > :39:25.Denise, you understand long jump, if he doesn't get that hand back there,

:39:26. > :39:31.maybe that job isn't as long, so you have to be aware of that. When he

:39:32. > :39:35.tried to extend himself and that jump, that brings that hand down

:39:36. > :39:40.there so unfortunately for him... He was trying to go for it and that is

:39:41. > :39:44.what you do but that is what happened. Behind us is the first

:39:45. > :39:46.heat of the 800 metres in the women's heptathlon. These athletes

:39:47. > :40:00.very much out of medal contention. That couldn't be more finely poised.

:40:01. > :40:04.There is a ten second difference between Nafi Thiam and Jessica

:40:05. > :40:10.Ennis-Hill InBev PBs. It is almost as if we write the scripts to these

:40:11. > :40:17.things. It can be more dramatic way to end the evening. Let's have a

:40:18. > :40:23.look at the South African Luvo Manyonga who produced the earlier

:40:24. > :40:26.jump. He was responding more so than anyone else throughout this entire

:40:27. > :40:36.competition. Very quickly on the runway. That was a massive jump. It

:40:37. > :40:44.looked big and we all went, wow. I said to Denise, that probably just

:40:45. > :40:48.won the competition. I was wrong. Steve said it best as well, he was

:40:49. > :40:52.in a difficult position because of where he was in the line-up and when

:40:53. > :40:59.he put that out there, he was like a sitting duck and he had to wait.

:41:00. > :41:02.Someone did something bigger and he wasn't able to respond. A fantastic

:41:03. > :41:09.competition for him as well, bringing home that silver. The

:41:10. > :41:22.distance was a big tonight. But it was thrilling. Nip and tax. --

:41:23. > :41:28.tucks. It is great we managed to show that. We will be talking about

:41:29. > :41:31.Mo shortly. One of the most raw, emotional interviews I have ever

:41:32. > :41:36.heard from him in any of his post gold performances. We are building

:41:37. > :41:40.up to the heptathlon, Paula, so let's have a look because I know

:41:41. > :41:44.Paula wants to talk about Mo and also the fall, talk about drama.

:41:45. > :41:50.Let's have a little look at the standings in the heptathlon and we

:41:51. > :41:53.will also be dipping out to the aquatic centre for the medley relay

:41:54. > :42:04.which Great Britain's women have a good chance on.

:42:05. > :42:17.PAULA RADCLIFFE: -- DENISE LEWIS: That margin looks like a lot but

:42:18. > :42:20.when you are running these two laps, you have to keep tracking because

:42:21. > :42:24.that is exactly what Thiam will be doing, tracking Jess Ennis-Hill.

:42:25. > :42:32.Making sure she has enough legs to keep that distance. Even if she has

:42:33. > :42:38.-- even if she runs her PB, she will win, if Jess runs her PB. Is it time

:42:39. > :42:42.for a new PB for Jess? We will have to wait and see, it will be

:42:43. > :42:46.thrilling. We will be back soon and we are going to the aquatic centre

:42:47. > :42:50.for the 4x100 metre medley relay and Great Britain's women are in Lane 8

:42:51. > :43:03.wearing those distinctive caps. The finals for the women's events in

:43:04. > :43:11.Rio, the women's 4x100 metre medley relay. Great Britain in Lane 8.

:43:12. > :43:22.Closest to us in the red hats. Fran Halsall, just won the freestyle

:43:23. > :43:28.final, she will be doing the anchor leg. Difficult to see past team USA

:43:29. > :43:30.in the centre for the gold. Baker, brilliant silver medal in the 100

:43:31. > :43:42.individual. The swimmers start in the water. The

:43:43. > :43:46.starters have been trying to control the crowd with the whistle, getting

:43:47. > :44:03.them to calm down but it is very noisy.

:44:04. > :44:11.Final for the women's events in Rio, the 4x100 metres medley relay and

:44:12. > :44:18.quite a few of the backstroke is with a point to prove. Not least in

:44:19. > :44:23.Lane 7, Emily Seebohm of Australia. Lane 8, right at the bottom, George

:44:24. > :44:32.Davies leading off well after her lifetime best in the heats for Great

:44:33. > :44:37.Britain. Seebohm going very well. A lot better here. America out first,

:44:38. > :44:42.Canada within striking distance. All sorts to play for her. An individual

:44:43. > :44:50.record could be broken as it goes from a flat start. Seebohm having a

:44:51. > :44:55.far better swim at the top. Two lanes from the top and really

:44:56. > :45:02.throwing the Italians off. Very difficult for them to come back from

:45:03. > :45:09.this. It will be Australia in first. It is Denmark first, 58.7.

:45:10. > :45:22.Going very well indeed that. All in a line. The Russian swimmer

:45:23. > :45:27.charging. The individual champion for team USA in the centre in the

:45:28. > :45:32.Black cap, Lilly King, now really starting to show down this first 15.

:45:33. > :45:37.The Canadian in lane five is giving get about 1.5 seconds, it is showing

:45:38. > :45:43.right now. Canada slipping half a second down. She didn't even make

:45:44. > :45:51.the final this year, very disappointing. The Russian

:45:52. > :45:54.Federation in lane six, the silver-medallists. The Russian

:45:55. > :45:58.Federation is almost in the lead. This is a surprise. She is really

:45:59. > :46:05.going for it, her strike rate is very high indeed. There was a lot of

:46:06. > :46:08.verbals in their press conference where Lilly King said that at him

:46:09. > :46:16.over shouldn't be there. Second is the USA, third is Denmark. Great

:46:17. > :46:22.Britain's Chloe Tanner, great leg for them. At the moment, Great

:46:23. > :46:26.Britain are six. It wasn't there for Russia to bring it back. I'm not

:46:27. > :46:28.sure if the Americans expected it to be this close for the rest of the

:46:29. > :46:41.field. I would say the weak link here is

:46:42. > :46:50.former. Right now, Svetlana Chim Rover of the Russian Federation is

:46:51. > :46:55.still trying to hang in there. They have dropped into seventh but they

:46:56. > :47:00.are very close. Great Britain is closer to us. Coming into the final

:47:01. > :47:05.leg of this final race of the women's programme, it is team USA

:47:06. > :47:10.leading. Second is Denmark, big surprise there. The third is Russia.

:47:11. > :47:16.Surely now this gold medal is going to go to the USA. Simone Manuel,

:47:17. > :47:21.individual champion on 100m restyle, looks supreme. It is a lot tighter

:47:22. > :47:26.than I thought it was. Look at China in lane seven, China coming back.

:47:27. > :47:30.The silver or bronze could go anywhere. Pernille Blume is

:47:31. > :47:34.therefore Denmark, let's see what she can manage. Australia is still

:47:35. > :47:39.there, China, Denmark, gosh, it could go anywhere, even to Canada.

:47:40. > :47:42.It should go to Australia because Cate Campbell, the final leg for

:47:43. > :47:46.them right at the top, it is the world record holder on this Olympic

:47:47. > :47:50.freestyle, it is very, very tight for the silver. No doubt about the

:47:51. > :47:59.gold, though. Look at this, she is owned Manuel history. -- Simone

:48:00. > :48:04.Manuel makes history. The time, 53.1, it is gold to USA, and silver

:48:05. > :48:09.to Australia. Cate Campbell finally coming through for them. 100th of a

:48:10. > :48:17.second ahead of team Denmark. Great Britain in seven. We need to look at

:48:18. > :48:21.the results. China is showing forth, I could believe the Chinese girl

:48:22. > :48:26.came for. She is in second place, unbelievable finish that phrase. The

:48:27. > :48:31.Danish will be calling it for the bronze medal. They just beat China

:48:32. > :48:34.by over a tenth of a second. Breaking the European record.

:48:35. > :48:45.Australia 100 of a second. What a great race. I want to see the race

:48:46. > :48:50.for the finish. 18 one hundredths splitting second, third and fourth.

:48:51. > :48:58.You have the backstroke leg here, Georgia Davis is down at the bottom.

:48:59. > :48:59.59.3 this morning. Lilly King, having a good race on the

:49:00. > :49:09.breaststroke, very strong. 59.40 three. That was Georgia

:49:10. > :49:37.Davis's 100m. Great start. We looked at the time

:49:38. > :49:44.of Georgia Davis, 59.4. A great lead of this morning. The last women's

:49:45. > :49:49.event, team USA winning gold. And when you get fairly comfortable in.

:49:50. > :50:00.What a battle. And bronze and four. -- and winning it. China aim for.

:50:01. > :50:04.STUDIO: Coming up next it is the men's four by 100m medley relay.

:50:05. > :50:08.Great Britain qualified fastest, but USA have never lost when they

:50:09. > :50:13.competed in a medley race. You can see that in the Red Button right

:50:14. > :50:17.now. We will show you later on BBC One. But we are going to leave the

:50:18. > :50:20.Aquatics Centre canal. Go to the Red Button if you would like to watch it

:50:21. > :50:27.because we are getting ready for the final act of the habitat for. It is

:50:28. > :50:31.the last heat of the 800 metres, in two gruelling comics of thing,

:50:32. > :50:35.mentally challenging days. It could not be tighter, if I haven't

:50:36. > :50:38.expressed that already. Ten seconds is the difference in the PBs between

:50:39. > :50:43.the first on the second place athletes at the moment. Nafi Thiam

:50:44. > :50:50.of Belgium and Jessica Ennis-Hill, the reigning Olympic champion. If

:50:51. > :50:54.they can produce that kind of performance, Thiam would win by six

:50:55. > :50:58.points. Thiam is either going to go a little bit slower and just a bit

:50:59. > :51:03.quicker, or... Tell me a bit more about where you are in time at 800

:51:04. > :51:07.metres? How can you be aware of what you are doing and the pace you have

:51:08. > :51:12.got was Mike is it as simple as looking at the clock? There are big

:51:13. > :51:19.flocks all the way around. You watching for it at the lap times --

:51:20. > :51:24.big flocks. Heptathlete try and race it differently to the women's 800

:51:25. > :51:28.that we are going to see later. Probably they will just try and hold

:51:29. > :51:33.on through that second lap. Yes, you will be able to work off the other

:51:34. > :51:36.women around you, because a lot of times you are wondering if Kat is

:51:37. > :51:41.going to have frustration, if she would like to finish certainly on a

:51:42. > :51:44.personal best, that is to help just. But I also think that Thiam is going

:51:45. > :51:50.to have that beast from coming into this, leading this, knowing that she

:51:51. > :51:55.has performed PBs so far. -- Thiam is going to have that beast. The

:51:56. > :52:01.mental battle that is going to go on here, we know that she is a

:52:02. > :52:04.consummate performer and professional, Jessica Ennis-Hill.

:52:05. > :52:09.This is like something she has never had to face before. Because she has

:52:10. > :52:11.so much experience and success in approaching competition from the

:52:12. > :52:15.standpoint of just getting out there and focusing on the controllable is,

:52:16. > :52:19.the thing that you can control, and don't worry about the thing that you

:52:20. > :52:26.can control -- can't control. That has worked for her. She depended on

:52:27. > :52:31.Katarina Johnson-Thompson to help. She won't be focused on Thiam on --

:52:32. > :52:35.and what she is doing because she will be behind her and just focused

:52:36. > :52:39.on the clock. She will run the fastest time that she can, that is

:52:40. > :52:45.all that she can control. The momentum favours Thiam, because she

:52:46. > :52:48.has been running personal bests. You know, if you lose to Jessica

:52:49. > :52:53.Ennis-Hill, and get a former medal, that is successful Thiam. She will

:52:54. > :52:57.be running very relaxed -- get a medal. She has ranked her personal

:52:58. > :53:01.best this entire competition. This is going to be very, very tough, a

:53:02. > :53:07.compelling watch. Because the situation that both athletes are in.

:53:08. > :53:10.I think it will be fantastic. It is Thiam's race to lose, her

:53:11. > :53:14.competition to lose. You know, if she takes on the silver medal, it is

:53:15. > :53:22.her first international Olympic medal, that will be successful her.

:53:23. > :53:25.She will be aware of that, she will be right there in the lead and she

:53:26. > :53:27.wants to take the gold medal. From Thiam's standpoint, it is Jeff's

:53:28. > :53:31.gold medal and I'm going to take it away. She doesn't go, I am gold

:53:32. > :53:36.medal because I am in position number one. That is the position to

:53:37. > :53:41.look at it. It is Jessica's gold medal, she is the defending

:53:42. > :53:45.champion. It is a mental battle. Thiam has had for Mac PBs, a

:53:46. > :53:49.fantastic competition, she gave us that brilliant moment with the high

:53:50. > :53:53.jump yesterday, Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Let's have a look

:53:54. > :53:56.at the javelin, it wasn't a PB but it was very close. Beautifully

:53:57. > :54:04.executed, at the right time, one from. The one throw, you can see the

:54:05. > :54:08.pain that she is in at release. She has ruptured a ligament in her

:54:09. > :54:13.elbow. You had that, the Belgian camp will have said to her, you need

:54:14. > :54:18.one throw, and she delivered. What does that say about this young

:54:19. > :54:22.girl's mentality that, I know she is a great javelin thrower, but to do

:54:23. > :54:26.it on one single throw is quite incredible, with a ruptured

:54:27. > :54:30.ligament. And, you know, Michael is right, she's in the zone, she's in

:54:31. > :54:40.the moment, and she will run, she will run her heart out, you know.

:54:41. > :54:42.This is such a unique place for her to be in. If you'd asked me at the

:54:43. > :54:45.beginning of the competition, would she be leading the women's hat

:54:46. > :54:47.tableau in the Olympics, I would have said, absolutely not. But she

:54:48. > :54:51.performed just as you would expect -- the women's heptathlon. She

:54:52. > :54:56.always performs, you know, that is what Jeff Els, she always performs.

:54:57. > :55:00.She stamped her authority -- that is what does the bills. She was just

:55:01. > :55:06.marginally on Lucky for the final throw. -- that is what Jessica does.

:55:07. > :55:12.-- she was marginally unlocking. Come to this last event, the biggest

:55:13. > :55:15.heart will win the race. What incredible competitor she is. And so

:55:16. > :55:22.is this man, Mo Farah, entering the arena for yet another gold medal

:55:23. > :55:27.winning ceremony. We have seen it so many times before. We should never,

:55:28. > :55:31.ever take it for granted, Paula, because he is truly great. He is.

:55:32. > :55:35.What he has achieved is really huge, to be able to put that back to back

:55:36. > :55:39.like that, and you have accomplished, to bounce back from

:55:40. > :55:45.that performance. He didn't -- it didn't even faze him. It just gave

:55:46. > :55:55.him more drama, like we needed it tonight! It is all Mo's, isn't it?

:55:56. > :55:58.The world is at his feet again. It is remarkable, as Paula was saying,

:55:59. > :56:03.what he has managed to achieve over a period of time. Not being injured,

:56:04. > :56:09.he has had his problems now and again, but to come back time after

:56:10. > :56:15.time. This is his eighth gold medal. He was back today in the 10,000

:56:16. > :56:21.metres when he was out take, he'll -- he bounced back. Since then there

:56:22. > :56:26.have been to Olympic gold in London, two more world titles in Moscow, and

:56:27. > :56:30.two more world titles in Beijing and another gold medal here in the

:56:31. > :56:40.10,000 metres in the Rio Olympics. Brilliant performance from Tamirat

:56:41. > :56:44.Tola of Ethiopian. He and his team-mate, Demelash, were the ones

:56:45. > :56:50.who gave it the most different about, rather than the Kenyan

:56:51. > :56:54.challenge, really. Tola was actually with Demelash, you know, they ran

:56:55. > :56:59.under 27 minutes in the Ethiopian trial. That form guide is probably

:57:00. > :57:04.better than one or two of the canyons. A bronze medal, a very fine

:57:05. > :57:18.reward from a good performance from him. -- one or two of the Kenyans.

:57:19. > :57:25.Paul Tanui gave a resolute performance. As he did in Beijing

:57:26. > :57:33.last year, he really did try and at least push Mo as hard as he could.

:57:34. > :57:37.In the end, his more famous team-mate, Geoffrey Kamworor, really

:57:38. > :57:42.not figuring today. He was not able to hang on in the last lap. At least

:57:43. > :57:50.he can say, I was still with Mo at the top of the home straight, taking

:57:51. > :57:53.another silver medal for tenure. Another Silva, I say that because

:57:54. > :57:58.they're having to get used to the idea that they are not going to win

:57:59. > :58:03.the gold. -- silver medal for tenure. Not while the great, the

:58:04. > :58:09.greatest Mo Farah is around. -- for tenure.

:58:10. > :58:19.The first British athlete to win three Olympic gold medals. Mo Farah,

:58:20. > :58:24.his family are there to enjoy a special, special moment.

:58:25. > :58:37.He talked about all of the hours, days, weeks, months, that go into

:58:38. > :58:47.moments like this. We all know that and we all understand that. He

:58:48. > :58:53.really feels it. Defending his title in the style at which we have all

:58:54. > :58:55.become accustomed, the one which is truly his own. Mo Farah, Olympic

:58:56. > :59:10.10,000 metre champion. # God save our gracious Queen. #

:59:11. > :59:20.Long live our noble Queen. # God Save The Queen. # Send her

:59:21. > :59:28.victorious. # Happy and glorious. # Long to reign over us. # God Save

:59:29. > :59:53.The Queen. What a great moment for the great Mo

:59:54. > :59:57.Farah. What a pleasure it was for us to share that journey with him.

:59:58. > :00:00.Three Olympic gold medals. Absolutely amazing. Absolutely

:00:01. > :00:13.amazing to see him do that. He's got some supporters in there as

:00:14. > :00:17.we see Jess Ennis getting ready to come out. Kelly Holmes is there to

:00:18. > :00:21.watch him and Steve Redgrave has come to the track to watch the great

:00:22. > :00:29.Mo Farah. We know what his personality is like, we know what

:00:30. > :00:33.his running is like, but the in a determination of this young man.

:00:34. > :00:37.2008 he didn't even make the final in Beijing. Then he transformed

:00:38. > :00:42.himself. His wife is a very proud lady. Her daughter is with her. What

:00:43. > :00:50.a great night and what a pleasure to be here.

:00:51. > :00:56.He just can't get enough of these moments. They are so special, we are

:00:57. > :01:01.so lucky to live in such exalted times and to be witnessing such

:01:02. > :01:04.greatness. Mo Farah is a very, very special man and a special athlete

:01:05. > :01:09.indeed. Any of you who saw the documentary which looked in closer

:01:10. > :01:13.detail at the kind of training and sacrifices he makes, we all read

:01:14. > :01:19.about it and we know what it takes, or we think we know, but it is

:01:20. > :01:22.brutal, it is hard, it is tough. And so is this lady, Jessica Ennis-Hill

:01:23. > :01:28.has come out with a hundred metres to defend her Olympic title. Can you

:01:29. > :01:36.call it at all, Denise? Is it possible? She will have two when the

:01:37. > :01:39.race of her life will stop she will have two when her personal best

:01:40. > :01:44.faster than she has probably ever run before. That ten second gap that

:01:45. > :01:50.needs to be between her and Nafi Thiam from Belgium is something that

:01:51. > :01:55.is doable but it is in the hands of someone who is quite special, who

:01:56. > :02:01.has the ability to take it out and run for her life. She is a special

:02:02. > :02:05.athlete indeed. There is an heir to the throne, a pretender in Nafi

:02:06. > :02:11.Thiam who wants that Olympic gold medal. She will be running her heart

:02:12. > :02:14.out, to. Brianne Theisen-Eaton is also running for the medal and

:02:15. > :02:19.Katarina Johnson-Thompson is running to take something away from this

:02:20. > :02:25.that she can feel she can build on going forwards. Let's join our

:02:26. > :02:30.commentary team, Steve Cram. COMMENTATOR: we hope so, don't we?

:02:31. > :02:33.Everybody will be holding their breath in the moments between

:02:34. > :02:38.Jessica Ennis-Hill crossing the line. We are pretty sure she would

:02:39. > :02:44.cross the line ahead of Thiam. Then the second will stick by. One, two,

:02:45. > :02:51.three, four... Will it reach ten? Here's one for you. Katarina

:02:52. > :02:55.Johnson-Thompson as the pacemaker. I think what just needs here is some

:02:56. > :03:00.competition. She needs someone to run hard with to really push her. We

:03:01. > :03:04.know that Katarina can run hard and she's got her own quest. She is

:03:05. > :03:07.quite distant from the bronze medal. All of the women in this final race

:03:08. > :03:13.theoretically within shouting distance. The reality is it's

:03:14. > :03:19.between Thiam and just for the gold medal. Brianne Theisen-Eaton is in a

:03:20. > :03:22.good art in terms of the bronze medal. A decent 800 metre runner.

:03:23. > :03:28.You would expect her to hold onto that. For instance, for

:03:29. > :03:31.Johnson-Thompson to catch her, she is currently in eighth place, she'd

:03:32. > :03:40.have to run about eight seconds quicker than the Canadian and the

:03:41. > :03:44.Canadian is very fast. Well this lady, the 21-year-old from Belgium,

:03:45. > :03:51.Nafi Thiam, become the Olympic champion? Will Brianne Theisen-Eaton

:03:52. > :03:55.come away with something from these Olympic Games where she so hopes she

:03:56. > :04:00.can take on Jessica Ennis-Hill. She hasn't been able to do that, but the

:04:01. > :04:05.big question is from Jess, and for everybody in the stadium, an awful

:04:06. > :04:10.lot of British flags, can she put enough distance between herself? And

:04:11. > :04:15.it's a big distance, between herself and Thiam. We talked a lot about

:04:16. > :04:20.personal best. For Jess, she has won many of these 800 metre races. Tien

:04:21. > :04:27.has not really yet. We don't really know her potential yet. Before we

:04:28. > :04:31.start, Steve Backley I will bring you in. This is the bit they don't

:04:32. > :04:37.practice that often. They are power athletes. Running the 800 metres

:04:38. > :04:47.hertz for these girls. It will be a tough two minutes. Stopwatches that

:04:48. > :04:50.be ready. Jess Ennis, Katrina Johnson-Thompson in their final

:04:51. > :04:55.event of this Olympic heptathlon. Jess immediately going to the front.

:04:56. > :05:02.How hard can she go? How hard must she go? It already looks as though

:05:03. > :05:06.it could be a lone furrow that she tries to plough as they go through

:05:07. > :05:09.the first 200 metres which is covered in a swift 29 seconds, that

:05:10. > :05:14.is quite quick through the first 200. She's really attacking this,

:05:15. > :05:20.isn't she? She's absolutely gone off. Michael Johnson called it a

:05:21. > :05:25.mental chess game. Jeff has gone into attack mode. The benefit for

:05:26. > :05:30.Tien is that she can see her. Jess is running blind. She will have two

:05:31. > :05:38.attack. Denise Lewis talked about awareness. A glance at the screen to

:05:39. > :05:46.see where Thiam is. Something around 65 metres. Tien with a noose around

:05:47. > :05:50.Jess Ennis's neck. She holding on. She can hold onto the gap at the

:05:51. > :05:59.moment, probably around 20 metres. If it doubles, and some, then Jess

:06:00. > :06:05.can be overtaken. Certainly Thiam can take the gold here. But the

:06:06. > :06:12.gap's not big enough at the moment. It was about 3.5 seconds and just

:06:13. > :06:17.went through at 62.9. That's what we expected. We were hoping that Thiam

:06:18. > :06:21.couldn't do anything better than 2.17. She's running much quicker

:06:22. > :06:26.than that. She's with that group of three you can see. The gap is

:06:27. > :06:32.getting bigger, but it is only about five or six seconds. Thiam is

:06:33. > :06:37.rallying her. Jess Ennis is doing everything she can. She can only run

:06:38. > :06:42.this last event and give it everything she can. It will be an

:06:43. > :06:47.anxious wait looking back to Thiam. Jess Ennis coming down the home

:06:48. > :06:53.straight. It's going to be very close. Now the clock is ticking and

:06:54. > :06:59.Thiam is going to become the Olympic champion by a couple of seconds, and

:07:00. > :07:03.probably by around 20 or 30 points. We will clarify all of that, but I'm

:07:04. > :07:06.sorry to say and we are pretty sure that we can confirm with everything

:07:07. > :07:17.you can all see, just couldn't do any more. It was a big ask for her

:07:18. > :07:22.to run a personal best. Thiam has certainly appeared to have broken

:07:23. > :07:27.her best. Not by very much. Jess was likeable of seconds off what she

:07:28. > :07:32.required. It was out of her hands in the end and Steve, I guess the gold

:07:33. > :07:41.medal which she dearly hope she could retain slipped away or was

:07:42. > :07:46.grasped away in the long jump and javelin. You have got to hand it to

:07:47. > :07:51.Thiam, two brilliant performances. Jess is the first to congratulate

:07:52. > :07:56.her and say well done. I couldn't be more, very much a victory for. Jess

:07:57. > :08:03.Ennis-Hill is congratulated by her team-mate, Johnson-Thompson. A big

:08:04. > :08:06.smile on the face of Thiam. Congratulations all round. She was

:08:07. > :08:10.out of the blocks quickly yesterday in the hurdles and she never looked

:08:11. > :08:15.back. Jess led overnight but after this morning's long job it was Thiam

:08:16. > :08:20.who went into the lead and produced that monster javelin which gave her

:08:21. > :08:29.the comfort in 800 metres. Xinyi the comfort, the benefit of having Jess

:08:30. > :08:35.in her sights, and that ten second deficit was never going to grow. --

:08:36. > :08:38.she knew the comfort. The 21-year-old Olympic champion

:08:39. > :08:47.produced a wonderful display of athleticism across the seven events.

:08:48. > :08:55.She follows several other great bulging heptathlete. -- great

:08:56. > :08:59.Belgian. Plenty of smiles between Jess and Katarina. A tough campaign.

:09:00. > :09:03.She has done well in terms of overall points, the Jess has just

:09:04. > :09:11.fallen short. The news, I guess worry that this would be the case

:09:12. > :09:16.that could find a little bit extra. Just maybe did not have quite enough

:09:17. > :09:19.help to go as quick as she wanted. STUDIO: Thiam has had an inspired

:09:20. > :09:25.few days. She has performed quite remarkably. Such a talent. I spoke

:09:26. > :09:34.to Tia Hallibut today and she said we expected this, we waited for her

:09:35. > :09:38.to get everything together. But this isn't our time to be sad for Jess.

:09:39. > :09:44.She has come such a long, long way to become World Champion last year,

:09:45. > :09:49.to give her absolute all in these last two days. She took the

:09:50. > :09:54.competition to everyone and said, listen, I'm here to defend my title.

:09:55. > :09:58.You just saw her run magnificently. She couldn't do any more. I'm glad

:09:59. > :10:03.that smile is out there, but just they were the moment for a girl who

:10:04. > :10:06.had shown great promise and great potential to come on the biggest

:10:07. > :10:15.stage of all and take that gold medal away. -- just savour the

:10:16. > :10:19.moment. COMMENTATOR: the result is finally,

:10:20. > :10:24.a 35 points differential. That would have been about 2.3 seconds but just

:10:25. > :10:32.would have had to find. But she wasn't able to. So, Nafi Thiam of

:10:33. > :10:40.Belgium is the Olympic champion. 6810 points. Jessica Ennis-Hill is

:10:41. > :10:47.the silver medallist with 607 -- with 6775 points. Brianne

:10:48. > :10:49.Theisen-Eaton take the bronze medal for Canada. Katarina

:10:50. > :10:56.Johnson-Thompson moves up a couple of places after that 800 metres.

:10:57. > :11:00.STUDIO: two years ago she became a mum to Reggie. A year later she won

:11:01. > :11:05.the World Championships in Beijing and tonight she is a silver

:11:06. > :11:10.medallist, just missing out on retaining her gold medal. My first

:11:11. > :11:13.thought, I spoke to her about a month ago and we were talking about

:11:14. > :11:17.Reggie and her balancing everything and how life is so different now.

:11:18. > :11:22.She was completely selfish in the build-up to London, all she had to

:11:23. > :11:26.think about was Jess. In the last four years she has had to juggle

:11:27. > :11:30.being a mum. I imagine one of those thoughts in her mind right now will

:11:31. > :11:34.be only two more days and I will be cuddling Reggie. What she said she

:11:35. > :11:38.wanted to come out here and make that time away from Reggie Kant. She

:11:39. > :11:44.wanted to show what she had done and put that all out there in the arena.

:11:45. > :11:48.She's done that. Guineas summed it up perfectly, she gave it her best

:11:49. > :11:57.shot, she couldn't have done any better. -- Denise summed it up. This

:11:58. > :12:00.kind of March of the Warriors when they come together, this band of

:12:01. > :12:04.sisters in this case and acknowledge each other. They know what they've

:12:05. > :12:08.all been through. Nobody else knows but them out there. He smiles on

:12:09. > :12:17.their faces, they made it through that battle. Lots of emotion for all

:12:18. > :12:20.of them. The competitors are relieved and also joyed that it's

:12:21. > :12:27.over and that they have completed it. There is a huge amount of mutual

:12:28. > :12:30.respect, not only for how difficult these two days, but they all know

:12:31. > :12:35.how difficult it is to train for this event over the year. Many

:12:36. > :12:44.others have wanted to get it and didn't. Over the last couple of

:12:45. > :12:48.days, it has been steeled eyes and close proximity but not being able

:12:49. > :12:53.to talk to each other. It's nice to be able to relax and to be able to

:12:54. > :12:59.share a moment together after it's all over. I think it a true moment

:13:00. > :13:05.that shows sportsmanship. At the end of the day there is mutual respect

:13:06. > :13:08.among fierce competitors. There's great camaraderie amongst the

:13:09. > :13:12.heptathlete. I've spoken for many years about this unique and special

:13:13. > :13:19.bond that binds the heptathletes. It is about beating the event. It is

:13:20. > :13:29.about getting through those tough two days. Seven gruelling events.

:13:30. > :13:35.This timetable here in Rio has been tested. It's been testing for these

:13:36. > :13:41.girls. Those long gaps, having to stay focused for so many hours. It

:13:42. > :13:49.is tough. That look on Jess' face, it's genuine. She is delighted. She

:13:50. > :13:53.was robbed of competing in Beijing in 2008 through the triple stress

:13:54. > :13:57.fracture to her feet. Though she just wanted to be an Olympian.

:13:58. > :14:02.That's all she ever dream dog. To get that gold in Rio Xinyi would be

:14:03. > :14:06.a challenge. -- that's all she has ever dream of. That is why she's

:14:07. > :14:13.happy with that silver medal because she could have easily away and been

:14:14. > :14:18.satisfied. She is a model competitor. You will not meet a more

:14:19. > :14:24.contained, mentally strong, tough and yet lovely person who has things

:14:25. > :14:27.in balance. One of the moment in this competition that summed that is

:14:28. > :14:36.during the javelin when she came back and had it really good. We were

:14:37. > :14:41.all like, that's fantastic! She went right back to focus. Right back to

:14:42. > :14:45.focus and focus on what's next. She doesn't spend the time celebrating

:14:46. > :14:49.and that sort of thing. I don't think she spends much time focused

:14:50. > :14:53.on other competitors. She's focused on her performance and that is what

:14:54. > :15:00.great competitors do. Focus on the things that they can control. What I

:15:01. > :15:03.admire the most about her, though the lot, but what I admire the most

:15:04. > :15:08.is how she had to re-evaluate. Post-2012 it was all about her and

:15:09. > :15:14.getting the gold medal. Starting again from pretty much scratch,

:15:15. > :15:18.having a baby, the injuries. But what I think has been most special

:15:19. > :15:23.is how she's reevaluated how to get better. She knew she had been able

:15:24. > :15:29.to rely on her jumps as much, her high jumping in particular. But she

:15:30. > :15:33.has got better in the long jump. Look at that moment, these are the

:15:34. > :15:38.gems. These are the absolute sporting gems.

:15:39. > :15:41.These are the gems, the absolute sporting gems where the reigning

:15:42. > :15:42.Olympic champion just gives a nod to

:15:43. > :15:49.I am not sure if she's reached him just yet.

:15:50. > :15:51.I think she's been nabbed by somebody else, but Phil

:15:52. > :15:53.will be there and he'll have a chat with her.

:15:54. > :15:55.At the moment, Katarina Johnson-Thompson

:15:56. > :16:03.Is it a sense of opportunities missed?

:16:04. > :16:10.It is one of the best opportunities to do well.

:16:11. > :16:14.I didn't execute when I really needed to, but I am happy I finished

:16:15. > :16:20.Tell me about the highs and lows of the competition

:16:21. > :16:34.It was a joint Olympic record with the new Olympic champ.

:16:35. > :16:43.Unfortunately, I couldn't come in - I came sixth place and didn't get

:16:44. > :16:54.Do you feel an added pressure when someone like Thiam

:16:55. > :16:56.is delivering personal best upon personal best and you have got

:16:57. > :16:58.to maintain that sort of level as well?

:16:59. > :17:00.I think she was the exception in this competition.

:17:01. > :17:15.A PB of 68 will get you a medal every time.

:17:16. > :17:18.UnfortunateMately I couldn't produce that today.

:17:19. > :17:22.You know what sort of talent is within you and what you are capable,

:17:23. > :17:26.are you disappointed you couldn't do it here and now.

:17:27. > :17:33.In the future, how do you see yourself getting to that

:17:34. > :17:36.consistent level Jess has produced time upon time.

:17:37. > :17:41.She just said to me at my age 23 she wasn't as consistent.

:17:42. > :17:45.I'll be Jess's age when she was in London.

:17:46. > :17:47.Because I have showed glimpses of good in different events,

:17:48. > :17:49.people just want me to put it all together.

:17:50. > :17:57.Hopefully I can be more consistent like Jess is when she was 27.

:17:58. > :18:05.Here is the woman herself we are talking about.

:18:06. > :18:08.Kat, how consistent you have been but not at Kat's age and it is

:18:09. > :18:11.an interesting dynamic and something that Kat will be able to take

:18:12. > :18:15.It is mentally and physically draining.

:18:16. > :18:25.I was a terrible thrower for many years but I got better.

:18:26. > :18:42.Such a lovely girl and just to see her individual performances

:18:43. > :18:47.Very proud to have got the silver and she is incredible.

:18:48. > :18:49.Your reflections going around that lap of honour.

:18:50. > :18:55.You gave birth to Reggie and injuries and coming back.

:18:56. > :19:05.I find it hard to find the words to describe this.

:19:06. > :19:09.I have achieved so much in the sport and I am really proud.

:19:10. > :19:11.Four years ago it was Super Saturday.

:19:12. > :19:14.We've had a gold, silver and a bronze.

:19:15. > :19:16.That is pretty super for the British team.

:19:17. > :19:25.To come back and get three golds on Super Saturday would

:19:26. > :19:32.Medals are medals, we have all done very well.

:19:33. > :19:34.There has been amazing British support here and it shows

:19:35. > :19:43.Jess did the victory lap and there were 17 GB flags

:19:44. > :19:51.We have seen Mo come through, Greg with tears and Kat says

:19:52. > :19:55.You are emotional because you have been through a lot.

:19:56. > :20:03.I don't want to cry on TV, but these years have been amazing

:20:04. > :20:07.So you are hinting this may be the last one?

:20:08. > :20:19.What will be the defining decision, do you think, for you?

:20:20. > :20:22.Just to go away and have time with my family and make a decision,

:20:23. > :20:25.but it has been incredible and I just don't want

:20:26. > :20:29.I'll let you go and, listen, it has always been a pleasure.

:20:30. > :20:33.Whether this is your last event or not, congratulations

:20:34. > :20:36.Kat, the greatness is yet to come.

:20:37. > :20:51.He's just - isn't he wonderful in those moments.

:20:52. > :20:58.They love having that moment with Phil.

:20:59. > :21:13.It feels like it is the full stop at the end of Phil.

:21:14. > :21:15.Those two ladies there, their emotions summed up,

:21:16. > :21:17.what they have gone through in the last few days

:21:18. > :21:20.and for Jess we have heard that her mind is independent made up yet.

:21:21. > :21:23.Will she sacrifice everything she does to go to London next year

:21:24. > :21:25.and try to retain her World Championship title?

:21:26. > :21:28.I can't begin to put into words how difficult it is to think

:21:29. > :21:31.about going again for another 12 months after all she's

:21:32. > :21:45.She's been double world champion, Olympic champion.

:21:46. > :21:49.She has talked about post-pregnancy and post having Reggie.

:21:50. > :21:52.I didn't realise it was going to be so hard coming back.

:21:53. > :22:00.She has to go away and take her time and see what she feels,

:22:01. > :22:03.see if she will miss it enough to put it through that hard winter

:22:04. > :22:06.work again to raise her game yet again because the young pretenders

:22:07. > :22:10.Kat will reflect on what has happened

:22:11. > :22:20.I know we are going to talk a little bit about her in a little

:22:21. > :22:29.We know that she can iron out those glitches in the two throw events.

:22:30. > :22:44.She was alluding to the fact they are the weakest

:22:45. > :22:48.I think that Jess, though, it sounded to me right

:22:49. > :22:53.You think about why would you come back when she's won two

:22:54. > :23:08.She's had an Olympics at home and won gold and a silver here.

:23:09. > :23:12.The motivation and Jess is one of those athletes...

:23:13. > :23:15.You see for us because we will be covering it, but as Denise said

:23:16. > :23:18.she's got to go through 12 months of training and be motivated every

:23:19. > :23:23.day to go out there, so what is that motivation?

:23:24. > :23:28.The World Championships at home will pale in comparison.

:23:29. > :23:32.You have to be careful when you make those decisions.

:23:33. > :23:35.She says she will go away and think about it with her family,

:23:36. > :23:38.but she will have to understand if that motivation isn't there,

:23:39. > :23:42.Then you won't go out and train as hard especially

:23:43. > :23:46.when you have a kid and family at home you would rather be with.

:23:47. > :23:49.There has got to be a pretty big carrot at the end of that in order

:23:50. > :23:55.to go out and put the time in away from your family.

:23:56. > :23:58.You have got to remember she got injured early part of the year.

:23:59. > :24:01.Heptathlon takes its toll on your body.

:24:02. > :24:04.If she's going to come back, does she want to have those -

:24:05. > :24:23.She's done fantastically well to get her body back into that

:24:24. > :24:31.in the heptathlon has heard that your performance isn't over

:24:32. > :24:34.That is exactly where she is right now.

:24:35. > :24:40.I get a sense of disbelief, really, that you have managed to achieve

:24:41. > :24:49.I knew after the long jump and after the javelin throw

:24:50. > :25:01.How did you manage to be so inspired across so many events,

:25:02. > :25:03.every single best, personal best and season best?

:25:04. > :25:09.I was in good form and I just tried to focus on each event individually,

:25:10. > :25:19.Just came like that and I am really happy I was in such form to win

:25:20. > :25:25.You know you have to stay quite close to Jess,

:25:26. > :25:27.but that gold medal moment is really close as well.

:25:28. > :25:39.Yeah, I was just looking at her and trying not to let her go.

:25:40. > :25:42.I knew it was possible for me to do 16 or 15 and, yeah,

:25:43. > :25:50.So considering you didn't think you were going the win a medal

:25:51. > :25:53.and now you are Olympic champion, life is going to change

:25:54. > :26:04.I am going to see when I am back in Belgium.

:26:05. > :26:06.I am still at university which is very important for me.

:26:07. > :26:09.Maybe I will have to make a decision, but not now.

:26:10. > :27:09.a big response beauty for Great Britain's Chris Walker.

:27:10. > :27:16.Ryan Murphy of the USA is going to try and break the world record, I am

:27:17. > :27:21.sure, he has gone off like a shot. Walker is swimming very well here,

:27:22. > :27:28.in fourth place. Ryan Murphy is going like a train.

:27:29. > :27:31.The world record we are looking for is under 52.

:27:32. > :27:39.Brazil are in third place. The crowd is starting to realise.

:27:40. > :27:44.He is ahead of record pace. You can sense it on the first leg, Brian

:27:45. > :27:54.Murphy. He is tiring a little bit.

:27:55. > :27:59.A new world record under 100 metres -- on the 100 metres backstroke.

:28:00. > :28:02.Britain is in sixth position but it is close.

:28:03. > :28:11.We have our brilliant gold medallist, Adam Peachy.

:28:12. > :28:15.Second place, the American Cody Miller, who got the silver. If he

:28:16. > :28:18.can hold him down, it will be amazing.

:28:19. > :28:21.Brian Murphy just broke the world record, getting out of the Paul

:28:22. > :28:24.quickly. No time to celebrate, this race

:28:25. > :28:32.isn't over. Adam Peaty is in second place.

:28:33. > :28:35.Third place is Japan. At the moment, America are leading. Adam Peaty

:28:36. > :28:46.could do with getting level. He needs to hand over.

:28:47. > :28:53.This is interesting. Great Britain are about zero point second -- 0.6

:28:54. > :28:59.seconds ahead. Would you like to be doing the

:29:00. > :29:06.flight against Michael Phelps! At the moment, James Guy is leading.

:29:07. > :29:11.But Phelps always comes back very quickly on the second 50 metrese.

:29:12. > :29:15.Great Britain leading, second, USA, going very well is China, they have

:29:16. > :29:23.the world champions on their final leg.

:29:24. > :29:27.Neck and neck. Michael Phelps, James Guy.

:29:28. > :29:36.What a fantastic opportunity for Duncan Scott.

:29:37. > :29:52.Team USA... A good takeover by the USA.

:29:53. > :30:00.USA, and its Nathan Adrian. Bronze medal in the 100. Great Britain in

:30:01. > :30:05.second place, but China really are charging Adrian. This could be a

:30:06. > :30:10.great individual, but he's gone over strongly. Duncan Scott will hold on

:30:11. > :30:17.for a single medal. The Aussies are coming back. -- for a silver medal.

:30:18. > :30:20.25 metres to go. Duncan Scott, the young Stirling swimmer from Great

:30:21. > :30:28.Britain hanging in there for the silver medal. It will be team USA

:30:29. > :30:32.and Michael Phelps' 24th medal. Look at this, absolutely extraordinary.

:30:33. > :30:36.USA winning gold, Great Britain win the silver. That means it is Great

:30:37. > :30:43.Britain's best ever Olympic Games in the pool. The bronze has gone to

:30:44. > :30:47.Australia. What a wonderful team effort there from team Great

:30:48. > :30:50.Britain. I think that's a massive British record. The result of the

:30:51. > :30:54.final race at the Olympic Games in the swimming pool, team USA, as

:30:55. > :31:01.they've dominated all the way through. A new Olympic record.

:31:02. > :31:09.Michael Phelps' 28 Olympic medal and his 23rd goal. Great Britain, a

:31:10. > :31:14.brilliant silver. How nervous were you before that

:31:15. > :31:18.race? I may have looked cool and calm but I was definitely nervous. I

:31:19. > :31:23.haven't had the greatest week but I left everything in the pool. I am so

:31:24. > :31:26.grateful for these guys who help me towards a silver medal at the

:31:27. > :31:32.Olympics. You can add a silver medal to your gold one as well now. What

:31:33. > :31:37.sort of Olympic Games have you had? A two-time medallist at my first

:31:38. > :31:41.Olympics, it's amazing. It's a real honour to go against Michael Phelps,

:31:42. > :31:46.probably one of his last now. It's absolutely amazing outlet tonight.

:31:47. > :31:51.Such a good result for such a young, aspiring team. It's quite scary

:31:52. > :31:56.standing up next to him, but you were not phase where you, James? No,

:31:57. > :32:05.it was amazing to race Michael Phelps again. And to add another

:32:06. > :32:12.medal to the tally. The lovely thing about this team is you are all very

:32:13. > :32:19.young. There is so much to come from you guys. Certainly three of them

:32:20. > :32:23.were English there I went to be in their team at the Commonwealth

:32:24. > :32:28.Games. I think we will just keep getting stronger from there. You can

:32:29. > :32:31.be incredibly proud. This makes as the most successful GB team in the

:32:32. > :32:44.Simon Porloe ever. -- in the swimming pool ever.

:32:45. > :32:48.Remember those faces because I think we will see a lot more fun Duncan

:32:49. > :32:54.Scott. Photographers poised, crowd expectant. The stars and stripes

:32:55. > :32:57.hanging there waiting to be thrown in the air but the crowd is waiting

:32:58. > :33:03.for Michael Phelps. The most successful Olympian of all time. The

:33:04. > :33:07.moment we have all been waiting for, about 45 minutes have gone by. We've

:33:08. > :33:14.been waiting for the medal ceremonies. The men's 4x100 metres

:33:15. > :33:20.relay. There was a massive delay but the crowd are still here, they're

:33:21. > :33:24.excited, dedicated and very loyal to that man there, Michael Phelps. The

:33:25. > :33:30.most successful Olympian of all time. What a career, what a crowd.

:33:31. > :33:35.Our British boys are there, poised to take their silver medal. It was a

:33:36. > :33:44.hard-fought battle. Andrew, Adrian, take us through.

:33:45. > :33:49.COMMENTATOR: the men's medal of the 4x100 metres relay. Mitch Larkin

:33:50. > :33:55.with the backstroke, he was really expected to come back with several

:33:56. > :34:00.medals. Unfortunately, he did not get them. Pack with the

:34:01. > :34:05.breaststroke. Kyle Chalmers, who will be on the right-hand side, won

:34:06. > :34:10.the individual gold medal in the 100 metres freestyle with a world junior

:34:11. > :34:17.record. He is definitely the future of Australian sprinting. They will

:34:18. > :34:22.be looking to him to drag them back. I think Morgan is related to one of

:34:23. > :34:28.the old English divers. Robert Morgan? I think it's his nephew.

:34:29. > :34:41.Wow, Robbie Morgan. He's a fun guy. Well, the British team, what a

:34:42. > :34:54.fantastic team. The most successful Olympic Games in 1908. 108 years. In

:34:55. > :34:59.1908 we got -- here we have got one gold and five silvers for swimming.

:35:00. > :35:05.Four men of Great Britain winning silver medal in the men's 4x100

:35:06. > :35:10.metres relay. Chris Walker-Hebborn, Adam Peaty, James Guy and Duncan

:35:11. > :35:13.Scott. A new British record and a silver medal, the fifth silver medal

:35:14. > :35:19.of this games for Great Britain in the swimming pool. A super swim it

:35:20. > :35:23.was. They did tremendously well. Walker-Hebborn swimming as strong as

:35:24. > :35:28.he could. Adam Peaty, the world's best ever split. Weaving a lead to

:35:29. > :35:36.James Guy when he went in against Michael Phelps. Adam Peaty 's 15 100

:35:37. > :35:44.metre breast rigs at this championship. Three in an

:35:45. > :35:48.individual, more in the heats. Three of those swimmers have been the

:35:49. > :35:52.fastest times in history. A world record in the heat and in the final.

:35:53. > :36:00.The fastest relay split in history this morning. He's beaten up by nine

:36:01. > :36:06.tenths of a second. 56.59 4100 metres breast wreck on a relay.

:36:07. > :36:15.Goodness gracious me. -- for the 100 metres relay. The three men on your

:36:16. > :36:18.right, this is the second time they visited the podium. Scott and Guy

:36:19. > :36:27.got their medals in the relay, Adam Peaty in the individual.

:36:28. > :36:36.They're not quite sure whether to hold hands. Yes, go! The final race

:36:37. > :36:40.of the Olympic Games in 2016 in the swimming pool here in Rio de

:36:41. > :36:48.Janeiro. It is gold for team USA in the men's four times 100 medley

:36:49. > :36:59.relay. Ryan Murphy gave them a new record. Then comes the greatest of

:37:00. > :37:12.all, Michael Phelps. His 28 Olympic medal. His 23rd gold medal. 23

:37:13. > :37:20.goals, three silvers, two bronzes. -- 23 golds. On the right-hand side,

:37:21. > :37:23.Nathan Adrian, the anchorman. That summarises team USA's games,

:37:24. > :37:31.ruthless and utterly brilliant. Led by Michael Phelps from the start.

:37:32. > :37:41.His mate here, really very, very good indeed. He's got five goals and

:37:42. > :37:46.a silver, second from the right. I've run out of words to talk about

:37:47. > :37:51.him. Team USA win in the final gold in the swimming pool. It is the

:37:52. > :37:55.men's four times 100 medley relay. A brilliant silver.

:37:56. > :37:59.STUDIO: it has been an absolute privilege and honour to see what has

:38:00. > :38:03.happened in the pool this week. Some bright young stars from the future.

:38:04. > :38:08.We have nicknamed this the house of fun for a reason and it is shown as

:38:09. > :38:12.we have plenty to be proud of when it comes to Team GB.

:38:13. > :38:17.Helen, thank you. A gold medal performance on you, Mark and Becky.

:38:18. > :38:21.A fantastic performance from you but also our swimming team. We really

:38:22. > :38:25.have enjoyed the coverage and hope you have at home, too. What we've

:38:26. > :38:29.been at the track and field and swimming there have been a couple of

:38:30. > :38:33.breaking stories. One is in Sao Paulo where Brazil's men's football

:38:34. > :38:37.team is taking on Columbia looking for a place in the semifinals.

:38:38. > :38:44.Commentary is by Mark Tompkins and Paul Dempsey.

:38:45. > :38:51.COMMENTATOR: about to strike the free kick. What a strike as well!

:38:52. > :38:56.The goalkeeper seemed a little slow. But the Corinthians arena is on its

:38:57. > :39:05.feet. The Colombian challengers in the best possible way. Brazil lead

:39:06. > :39:11.by one goal to nil. The wall collapsed here just like the

:39:12. > :39:22.advertising. The goalkeeper gets nowhere near it.

:39:23. > :39:40.Neymar. Through once again. A real chance here for Brazil. Talk about

:39:41. > :39:49.matchwinners, talk about heroes. Brazil, after soaking up that

:39:50. > :39:57.Colombian pressure in the second half. Maybe a question or two about

:39:58. > :40:03.Maia, but it had the curve and the pace to beat Colombia. They can

:40:04. > :40:04.breathe a little easier now because it's going to take a big effort from

:40:05. > :40:14.Colombia to get back into this one. That is how it finished, Brazil are

:40:15. > :40:19.through to the semifinals where they will play Hondurans. You will

:40:20. > :40:23.remember Brazil were beaten 7-1 by Germany in the semifinals of the

:40:24. > :40:27.Fifa World Cup. Germany won today and they are in the semifinals. A

:40:28. > :40:30.Brazil versus Germany showdown in the final is well and truly

:40:31. > :40:35.possible. Let's bring you up-to-date with all the headlines.

:40:36. > :40:39.Mo Farah made history by becoming the first track and field British

:40:40. > :40:43.athlete ever to win three Olympic gold medals in Rio. Farrah did it

:40:44. > :40:48.the hard way tonight in the 10,000 metres coming back from a fall. He

:40:49. > :40:54.surged clear later on to claim his eighth global gold medal. While

:40:55. > :40:59.Farah celebrated gold, silver for Jessica Ennis-Hill in the women's

:41:00. > :41:03.heptathlon. The London 2012 champion was unable to defend her champion

:41:04. > :41:11.largely due to an incredible performance from Belgium's Nafi

:41:12. > :41:16.Thiam. The 25-year-old set five PBs in seven events. Despite

:41:17. > :41:20.Ennis-Hill's best efforts in the engine metres it was not good

:41:21. > :41:25.enough. Greg Rutherford was forced to settle for bronze in a thrilling

:41:26. > :41:29.long jump competition. Rutherford produced the best leap of 8.29

:41:30. > :41:40.metres but that was only enough for third place as America's Jeff

:41:41. > :41:47.Hernderson took first place. Great Britain's four times 100 meter relay

:41:48. > :41:51.team claimed silver behind the United States. The win for the

:41:52. > :41:54.United States made sure Michael Phelps' Olympic farewell was a

:41:55. > :42:04.golden one giving him an incredible 23rd Olympic gold medals.

:42:05. > :42:10.While the men's relay team were celebrating, more games heartbreak

:42:11. > :42:15.for Fran Halsall in the pool. She finished fifth in a race at London

:42:16. > :42:19.2012, 800 of a second off the podium. Today she was even closer,

:42:20. > :42:27.just two hundredths of a second behind third-place. Another

:42:28. > :42:31.thrilling day here in Rio. The medal table in day eight of the Olympic

:42:32. > :42:40.Games. USA lead the way, Michael Phelps winning his 23rd Olympic gold

:42:41. > :42:46.medal. China in second place. 29 medals, and then came the 30th.

:42:47. > :42:51.Brilliant, and counting. The hosts have four medals. One gold, but

:42:52. > :42:55.still on course to win one in the football tournament. But is it for

:42:56. > :43:00.day eight. Super Saturday London 2012, three gold medals. Tonight

:43:01. > :43:05.here in Rio we had to settle for gold, silver and bronze. But Mo gold

:43:06. > :44:42.for Farah! You're coming across as, frankly,

:44:43. > :44:47.ridiculous. I'm flabbergasted by that.

:44:48. > :44:50.Will they get burnt... You have done an appalling job of

:44:51. > :44:53.selling them online. Erm... I'm... We're... We're...

:44:54. > :44:57.No, hang on. Sorry.
