Day 8 Highlights Olympics

Could this be the greatest night in special athletics history? The

stadium erupts! Everyone is on their feet. It has been four years since a

symphony of sound resonated around the Olympic stadium. Can you believe

what is happening? They called it super Saturday. Three athletes...

Here goes Jess, Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford. Three gold medals. It is

a perfect day for Jessica Ennis. Greg Rutherford is the Olympic

champion. Mo Farah, it is gold! Oh, yes! That night, in our minds, they

became superheroes. Three gold medals for Great Britain. What a

night. But these three are just like you and me. Day in, day out, working

hard at their jobs. Training like they mean it. And now, four years

on, this everyday graft, this routine, might just result in a most

magical of repeats. The unmistakable Michael Johnson

setting the scene for what could be an historic night at these, the

Games of the 31st Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. That is the Olympic

stadium where so much drama will be played out tonight. We're in for a

treat. Hello, good evening to you and welcome back to the Copacabana.

This could be the biggest night of the greatest show on earth so far.

Four years after London 2012, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Greg Rutherford

and Mo Farah go for gold in yet another Super Saturday.

Jessica Ennis-Hill proved last year she is the Queen of multi-event

athletics, winning the world title 13 months after giving birth to a

baby boy. She has shown that when the competition is on, she's

ruthless, striking fear into the rivals. She enters the final two

events in the heptathlon, just five points behind the leader. If she

wins tonight, Jess becomes the first British female track and field

athlete to retain an Olympic title. But Britain's Katarina

Johnson-Thompson also in the mix and lives third. -- and lies third. As

the Greg Rutherford, he qualified in tenth place that night's long jump

final but he is also a big game player and he has won every title

going. He, like Jess, raises his game. He has a brilliant smile and

he delivers when it matters. His rivals fear him. He is the most

determined competitor. And as for Mo Farah, unbeatable

since 2012, he has won everything and won everything. The aura of

invincibility, of a world-class athlete. His rivals have not found a

way to beat him, no matter how hard they have tried. The man has simply

run away from them. Arguably one of the greatest sports men or women

Britain has ever produced. Tonight he bids to retain his 10,000 metre

title and become once more the Olympic champion.

This is how we are lining up few tonight.

Jess has a stronger throw in the javelin and KJT, on paper.

There is not much to choose between all men's long jump finalists. Then

Mo Farah could win a third gold of his Olympic career as he races in

the 10,000 metre final. You need to be awake for the final event of the

heptathlon at 3am. The 800 metres could be a golden 44 Jess and a

victory for KJT. It will be tense and another great night and a great

chapter in great British sporting history. We could be talking about

this for years to come. This is what the Olympic Games are

all about. It is nights like these, we dream about them. Sit back, relax

and enjoy not just track and field but also a very big night in the

swimming. Just after 2am, Fran Halsall goes in

the blink and you will miss it 50 metres freestyle final.

World champions Great Britain and golden boy Adam Peaty, good to see

him again, back in the team and aiming to dethrone the United

States. Press the red button later for uninterrupted swimming coverage,

from 2am when the session starts. Mark Foster and Helen Skelton. That

is your viewing for this evening. Before we go to the track and field,

let's remind you of all to night's headlines. Great Britain's men's

eight made their mark in Sydney in 2000 after a dominant performance at

the Lagoa. For the women's apes, a silver medal in the event, making

sure the GB rowers ended the Rio Regatta with five medals, five

silvers and two dolts. -- gold medals. Laura Trott, the first

British female Olympian to win three Olympic gold medals. They took a

dominant victory over the United States. Becky James also claiming

silver. Reigning champion Andy Murray secured his spot in the men's

singles final with a dominant victory over Japan's Kei Nishikori.

Juan Martin Del Potro is the man who will stand in Murray's way. The

Argentinian 2009 US open champion beating Rafa Nadal in today's other

semifinal. What a day we have had in Rio. Britain's World Championship

bronze-medallist Joe Joyce began his superheavyweight Rio campaign in

style, putting Dos Santos Morais on the canvas on route to a dominant 69

victory. Justin Rose will head into the fourth and final round of the

golf tomorrow with a 1-shot lead over Henrik Stenson. He enjoyed a

day to remember after hole in one in the first round after he carded two

eagles and three holes to end the day 12 under par. You are completely

up-to-date with the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. It is time for track

and field and Super Saturday Mark two. When I meet someone for the

first time, a lot of people tell me where they were on Super Saturday.

People want to remember being part of that night. That moment of

passing the line, just having my family the... The atmosphere was

incredible, something I have never experienced in my entire life. I

know that putting all those events together, it had all gone right, an

amazing feeling. It did and we still talk about it

four years on. People ask still, where were you, what did you feel?

We may be in from all of those feelings to night, stay with us for

the next few hours because it promises to be an electric athletics

meet this evening. So much to look forward to and I am doing it in the

company of Michael Johnson, Denise Lewis and Paula Radcliffe. I wonder

how nights like this affect you guys, does it help you tap into your

own golden and wonderful Olympic moments? Any time the Olympics come

around, you start to think about those days and harking back to those

days. This is the 20th anniversary for the 1996 Olympics so there has

been lots of revisiting those days. Then you get here and look out and

see what these athletes are going through and it does take you back to

those days and those tense moments. But of course the celebration as

well. The hard work, the late nights, early mornings, the pain

that you have to endure to get here. LAUGHTER

We used to miss that? LAUGHTER We always say that once an Olympian,

always an Olympian. That is the feeling you get when you are back in

the arena. No matter where you are in the world. You are connected,

that emotion, the first time Olympians, what they go through, the

agony, excitement, and the more experienced athletes, could this be

the last one? It is so much emotion. It is a privilege to be just

enjoying it. The race you will be most across this evening, Mo Farah

will make history. We say that quite a lot and then somebody comes along

and the next week makes their own history but this is something that

will take a long time to eclipse. This is huge and I think just

because of what he has achieved so far, we think it is just a given, Mo

will come out and nobody will beat him and he will stroll around the

10000 and 5000 K. It will be a huge achievement you have done that. In

the days of Haile Gebrselassie, he had to run heats and Mo Farah

doesn't have to do that. But it is still a huge thing to have held it

for that long. Let's get on and bring you up to speed with the

heptathlon. After Day 1, it was a fantastic day and we had the one and

two with Jess and KJT. Thiam also the Belgian putting up a fantastic

fight. This is what has happened today and got us to where we are

right now. Katarina Johnson-Thompson had a

lifetime best first yesterday. That is a decent long jump for Katarina

Johnson-Thompson. The white flag is raised. 6.51 in Round 1. Jess

Ennis-Hill, the leader overnight. A decent jump. 6.34, into a pretty

strong wind. Good start for the reigning Olympic champion. Nafi

Thiam, it is massive, look at that. It must have been over the board and

indeed it is. That is a valid jump, 6.48. Decent jump for the Canadian.

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

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

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

jump in the long jump. She needs a big jump. The feat came down early.

Here is Toni Minichiello's reaction, not happy. He knew that was a chance

to put daylight between her and the rest of the world. Nafi Thiam. That

is better. She likes it. It is 6.58, and that will give Jess Ennis-Hill

something to think about. GABBY LOGAN: That really change things

because Thiam's jump at the end of the session has put the cat amongst

the pigeons. There we can see what has happened so far, the story so

far and the personal best with the events tonight. Denise Lui the

javelin speaks volumes. Thiam has a lifetime best far in excess of

anything Jess or Katarina has done. That will swing the pendulum in her

favour. She is only five points ahead of Jess at the moment. There

are 800 metres is weak. You would expect Jessica Ennis-Hill and

Katarina to do real damage and if they have to run for medals at this

stage,... Let's overlook what would happen if they all performed to the

PB 's. The points total would be fast and so they all have to be

giving it maximum. For Thiam, she's the one the personal bests. She has

eclipsed the British girls. Johnson-Thompson hasn't, she has

been below par. A long way to go even know there are only two events

to go but things can change, things can swing throughout the evening.

Steve Backley is out there across the javelin competition.

First up in this first pole, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the

leaders will go in the second pool, the champion from us, pretty much

all the main contenders other than Katarina Johnson-Thompson or in the

second pool. It is a chance from Kat to get a mark on the board, get a

distance out there, and give the leaders something to think about.

She is a 40-metre plus javelin throw at her best. Something close to that

would be good -- 14. It is below 40 metres, the point went away from her

head. Showed all of the javelin to the all coming -- oncoming air and

it didn't fly. It goes almost vertical, doesn't go forward when it

is like that. But that is fixable, is the good news. The bad news is

that it is identical to all of her warm up throws.

STUDIO: So things didn't start particularly well for her. Denise,

you were watching and kind of wincing, actually, and thinking, no,

that doesn't look right. Tell us why? It's just not good enough at

the moment. You heard Steve talk about the technical points. She

needs to throw through the javelin. She is getting the separation but

she is not actually utilising any momentum she is creating. The

javelin is just hitting the air and stalling. She is bouncing up and

down but she needs to be attacking javelin to get any drive to get it

out of that 40-metre line. She can do this. It's not like this is a

difficult event for her. All the emotion, the technical elements, are

just not quite right -- all the motion. I know her body language is

something you are quite to student off, Michael. Is she looking nervous

and apprehensive tonight? I don't think it is nervous, I think it is a

lack of confidence and they lack of real drive that, hey, I know what to

do, I've worked on this and gotten it right before. It means that I

can, now I have to impose my will on myself and this javelin to get the

technique right. And I was talking with Steve about this earlier, I

think that, you know, you was talking about the same thing that

Denise said. This doesn't take away from your training from other

things, so why wouldn't you do it more often? I thought, you know,

that makes so much sense that I would imagine that she is doing it

more often, she is working on it. What happens with many athletes is

they get to the championships, and then once they are in a pressure

situation, they go back to, I'm just going to throw it, I've got to it

hard. They go to the same place. What great athletes know and trust,

there are photos of them. But in this case it is not an athleticism

that gets the javelin, you have to trust the technique. -- their

athleticism. She's not trusting the technique. She needs to have the

confidence to throw more in competitions, and she doesn't do

that. She is next up to throw shortly. Steve, if you were there to

lend us a bit of your expertise, you can tell what we are talking about,

we've all been bending your ear today about this. Your thoughts on

that first throw? The guys have said the mole, I just want to see a

bitter fight. The Katarina Johnson-Thompson that we see in high

jump, bouncing around and looking optimistic. -- a better fight. There

is a questioning in her eyes, she doubts herself before she even takes

to the runway. I want to see her running and give it a. Through all

the technical stuff away and give it an absolute almighty lash. They can

go to the same place as Michael was talking about, because they have

one. Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Looking to improve on the 36 metres,

the right elbow. A huge stall there. She knew that

everything we've all been talking about so far, she knows it, she is

just struggling to do it. There is the frustration. Founded with her

feet, that won't be measured. She is so frustrated right now. A bronze

medal, she is in the bronze medal position going into this, the

ultimate event in the hat tough one, remember that. It is living from her

grasp. -- in the heptathlete. She is going to need more than 36 metres.

That just stalled badly, meaning that the point went straight up in

the air and came straight back down again without going forwards. And,

Mike, that must be frustrating for him as well. They've worked so hard

to get this right, but as Michael was saying, under pressure this is

where small cracks turn into crevices. I don't know where she

goes from here in the third round to salvage this javelin competition.

Put so much pressure on her 800 metres, maybe too much pressure.

Technical pointers now are... Crikey, do they work? Questioning,

bouncing. Difficult situations Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Steve,

she doesn't have long, this group is moving quite quickly. She has a

conversation going on with Mike, she is going to go away for a few

minutes and have a thing. What can she do? You said lash it, she did

the opposite there and went up and down. What can she do? It is an

instinctive thing for a thrower who is an instinctive, natural thrower.

The challenge is if you're not, if you're doing it deliberately, which

is what Kat is doing, she's been taught the javelin, it is not

somebody like Nafi Thiam, another contender for the title here.

Indeed, we see her throbbing in the second pool, she is a natural

thrower, -- throwing in the second ball. When the chips are down, you

can on the movement patterns which just come naturally -- draw on.

Nothing is coming naturally to Katarina Johnson-Thompson because it

just doesn't for her. This is awful for her, the second throw was way

worse than the first. She is clearly carrying some pain in that elbow,

maybe she is protecting something which is adding more combinations

for her going on inside. I desperately feel for her. What more

complications. We don't know how much more, you know, the contenders

for the bronze medal are in the second pool. But close to 40 metres,

we suspect, is needed. Nafi Thiam and forget Ennis-Hill are going in

the second group which goes off at about 150 May. -- 115A. The first

medal on the track tonight is the 400 metres semifinals. Which Michael

will be expertly viewing from up here. But down on the track it will

be Andrew Cotter's eyes that will look at the first of those

semifinals. Good evening, Andrew. Good evening, good conditions, dry

and warm and not too much breeze. Some of the times have been down,

perhaps not a particularly quick track here in Rio. There is LaShawn

Merritt. Three athletes have established themselves as the men to

beat in the 400 metres. Two of them go here. The Olympic champions from

the last two games. This is the full line-up.

Javon Francis of Jamaica, LaShawn Merritt.

Lalonde Gordon, bronze-medallist in London, looked quite good. But the

calibre of athletes here, and only two go through automatically. And

there is Kirani James, still only 23, but took the Olympic title in

London. Although since then he has not had quite the same success. He

watched Merritt take the World Title in 2013. Wayde van Niekerk is the

other member of the big three, van Niekerk won last year.

The Dutch record holder, who runs from the Netherlands. Recognised by

the IOC and the IAAF, he set the record in the finals in Beijing, a

lot of people were wondering if we could see similar times. But it

hasn't been like that here. Santos, intense, and Olympic silver, as an

18-year-old he has been struggling this season, almost a metre and a

half away from his best times. But again he looks pretty strong. And

there is LaShawn Merritt. The only man to have gone 44 seconds this

year, which he did in winning the US trials last month. Actually lost to

Kirani James in the UK Diamond League meeting at the end of May.

They haven't raced each other too many times.

Brenes had a new personal best of 44-60 in June. And here is Kirani

James, still just 23. And again, this season he does look good. Seven

wins from seven after his first-round heat.

A bronze in London in 2012, but also the Commonwealth Games of 2013,

Lalonde Gordon. Botswana has three very good 400 metre men this man,

Sibanda, just only turned 18 a couple of months ago. Already close

to 45. And Javon Francis, the Jamaican champion, a great relay

man, he has won a couple of exceptional legs in the past to my

championships. Jamaica again with great support inside the stadium.

The past two championships. The first of three semifinals of the

men's 400, the first two go through automatically and the next two

fastest of the final. Britain is represented in the 30 by Matthew

Hudson-Smith. But here, the showdown, LaShawn Merritt needs two

models. There will be an element of

one-upmanship, getting the best lane for the final or simply making sure

you go through, it is by no means guaranteed, even for two great

athletes like Merritt and James. But they will certainly be the

favourites to take the two automatic places.

To the blocks for the first semifinal of the men's 400 metres.

Awayday go. LaShawn Merritt is delayed for a moment in the box. We

will see how quickly he moves. James in green and yellow and red. Of

Granada. And James has darted very strongly, moving up alongside

Brenes, hunting down LaShawn Merritt, the American will have left

something for the final 150. He is alongside Santos. But it is James

who is in charge of this race at the moment. Has he gone too quickly, too

fast? What has he left for the final 100. LaShawn Merritt chasing him

down now, alongside Santos, pulling clear now, it is these two. It is

James by three or four paces, 44. Bot 02. -- 02. He goes through water

magically. -- automatically. He was blessed with a psychological

advantage, that belongs to go Ronnie James. He looks very, very good

indeed. -- that belongs to James. LaShawn Merritt is through. An

interesting race, Michael Jonzon, James looked very strong. He looked

very strong, I'm not sure if the psychological advantage goes to him

here. What LaShawn Merritt was able to do, knowing that he is on the

outside lane, so James had the advantage. LaShawn Merritt knows

that he has to finish the first two position is coming he is going to

relax and let James do a lot more work than he has got to do, stay in

contact. You see LaShawn Merritt right there saying, I have to shut

it down, I don't have to do any more. James continues to run because

he doesn't want LaShawn Merritt to get that advantage. I think here,

LaShawn Merritt played this very well. He ran a very good race,

knowing that, we are all disappointed that we had this

situation with two three favourites for the race in the same heat in the

second final. -- two of the three. LaShawn Merritt on the outside, he

is watching in the big screen and seen that James is on his inside, he

is relaxed here, he is running very relaxed. You look at LaShawn

Merritt, no tension in his shoulders. He is able to continue

that, which you would expect at this world final. James is coming round

the bend with a two or three-metre lead, but he does it coming he is

able just to remain relaxed, looking over, checking the big screen, to

make sure that his position is safe. He doesn't have to use as much

energy. Focusing on James a bit, James has cleaned up his technique

in the last 100m. We have seen a very -- him very ragged in the past

100m, even when he won the gold in 2012, but this year he is more

clean. That is a worry for the rest of the field because he is a major

threat with that 4402. That was a massive personal best for

the 18-year-old from Botswana, Karabo Sibanda. Kirani James and

LaShawn Merritt through automatically.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson, her third and final throw in the javelin. Only

the 800 metres remaining. She has had 36 metres at best in the first

round, a poor throw in the second round. We know she wants this, she

just has to believe. If she thinks she can, she is at the. She tried to

get over the top of that but it stalled badly again. And it has

fallen short. No improvement. And she knows it. You can see she tried

to get over the top of that, getting the tail up and appoint down but it

didn't happen. It is just pointing straight up in the air. It stalls

almost immediately and falls to the ground short. Good on the floor, the

hip strikes and appoint just pops up in the air. May be linked to that

heavily strapped elbow. 36, the best work over, just the 800 metres to

come. A few moments ago, Kirani James,

straight through to the final, defending champion and he is talking

to Phil Jones. That was putting some kind of

statement down? A race like that is always tough. I was fortunate to

have the inside lane on LaShawn Merritt so I could see what he was

doing. Just trying to get ready for the finals now. It is a tough race

and I will get some rest and relaxation and get ready tomorrow.

We are all anticipating this could be one of the finals of the whole

Olympics. What is it like to be part of that, the dynamic trio? It is

fantastic, three athletes in the same event having the kind of

performance we are, it is only good for the sport and that is all we

look at. When we see people on the message boards talking about who has

better technique, that is what you really want, to generate a lot more

interest. We're just doing our part. Tremendous performance, thank you to

us. Two of the big names are through.

Will they be joined by Wayde van Niekerk? Andrew's point about the

talented bots on Ian relay team, maybe has taken a bit of a knock

because Baboloki feed a doesn't start. -- Baboloki feed

This is Rusheen McDonald who again, is pretty impressive. It is going to

go up a notch here. Van Nierkerk has seen Merritt and more importantly,

Kirani James, just go a bit quicker. As Michael said, may be less sure

merit holding back somewhat. Two of them running in the low 44 s. Pavel

Maslak looking a little out of sorts, only came through as a

fastest loser, normally comes through a bit better in the rounds.

Right on the inside, David Verburg of the USA. A couple we haven't seen

there, Haroun of Qatar, the world junior champion and Thebe who should

have been out there in Lane 8, was the man who everybody thinks would

have won that title ahead of Haroun but was disqualified in those world

junior champion chips which were held in July. Not long before these

Olympic Games so Haroun took the Olympic title. 19 years of age from

Qatar. Janezic, a man Cerny improving from Slovenia.

The first two will reach the final and then two fastest losers. Haroun

very ragged out of the blocks, all over the shop but now into his

running. He has that exaggerated arm action and contrast that with

Cedenio who has a lovely action. We expect him to dominate but he will

be chasing down the youngsters, Cedenio. Now, Van Nierkerk going

well. Verburg starting to come into it in Lane 1, of the USA. It is Van

Nierkerk with Cedenio, as expected. These two does contesting this a

little bit. Cedenio will take it as Van Nierkerk looks across as if to

say, you can have it. He had a check to his left and right and he

realised Cedenio was a bit more interested than winning that

semi-than Van Nierkerk was. Cedenio is looking good. That is very close,

that personal best that he set in Monaco, I mentioned, just a few

hundreds off that. Van Nierkerk always looks like he is extending

himself a little more than the others tend to, is that your

observation, Michael? MICHAEL JOHNSON: He looks pretty relaxed to

me. He looked very much in control of the race. He was able to work off

Cedenio who ran really fast in the back straight and never really let

up off it. He's just off his personal best set earlier this year.

Cedenio trying to put himself in a position for a medal as well but I

felt Van Nierkerk ran a very controlled race. He has strapping on

his leg, not sure what that is about, hasn't heard about any

injuries and it doesn't seem to be bothering him. He gets up to race

pace very early. What you will notice is that he seems to run the

exact same pace for the entire race and when you can do that in a

semifinal without having to shift gears, which takes a lot more

effort, that bodes well fewer chances of recovery for the final

tomorrow. I see here, no struggle at all, very relaxed looking face, no

labouring in the breathing. Just going to let Cedenio have this, he

thought. It would look like a very easy qualification so if you look

back, Merritt, Van Nierkerk here, both very easy qualifications.

Kirani James will need more recovery and more regeneration between today

and tomorrow than those two guys. Wade, you look very relaxed out

there. I'm grateful once again for an injury free race. The body slowly

but surely catching up. It feels positive and I feel good. After all

the anticipation, we finally got yourself, LaShawn Merritt and James

Karami in the final, it will be one of the finals of the Gaines. What

will you need to do to win? I didn't expect anything else. Quality guys

yet again. I will have to dig deep and put out the best performance I

can to beat these guys. That is part of the game. How much does last

year's performance winning gold at the Championships have a bearing? I

would love to say it plays a big role but it means nothing, it is a

new competition, new final, new challenges, so I have to take it as

a new day and put my best foot forward tomorrow. Good luck.

He came second there and obviously Cedenio winning and the lane draw

come the final will be so important. Maslak and Janezic not quick enough

at the moment to go through. One more semifinal to go through which

contains Matthew Hudson-Smith. Greg Rutherford getting himself

ready for potentially making history, defending his Olympic

title. He is the reigning Olympic champion from Super Saturday four

years ago. He struggled a little bit in qualifying but as he said in his

post-qualifying interview, forget what he did yesterday, it is a new

day. While he gets ready, we will get ready for the third of the

semifinals of the men's 400 metres. Matthew Hudson-Smith in this one.

Also very strong men in Bralon Taplin, Steven Gardiner, so a tall

order for Hudson-Smith. Simply to make a semifinal in the Olympic

Games is quite an achievement. But he will have to go close to better

his personal best to have a chance to be the quickest of the fastest

losers, at the moment it is 44 .71. There is Gil Roberts, second of the

US trials to LaShawn Merritt. A mixed bag for the US so far. David

Verburg is out, LaShawn Merritt very good. Former world junior

silver-medallist, Ali Khamis. Raced in Bulgaria this season. Rafal

Omelko from Poland. Individual bronze-medallist at the European

indoors last year, behind Pavel Maslak. There is Isaac Makwala, a

mixed bag also for Botswana. Astonishing run from Sibanda but

Thebe has had to pull out. There is Steven Gardiner, 44.46 this season.

Bralon Taplin outside him, also from Granada. Not just about Kirani

James. Matt Hudson-Smith on the outside. He doesn't mind Lane 8,

some of his best races have been from there. But you are running

blind, no idea where the rest. You cannot judge their pace. He will see

if he can go close to his personal best and see where that gets him.

The final heat in the semifinals of the men's 400 metres.

The way they go and Matthew Hudson-Smith on the far outside in

the white vest and there will be quick men in lanes three, four, five

and six. The tall, elegant figure of Steven

Gardiner, just with some work to do an Bralon Taplin at the moment.

Taplin looks so good in the heat so far. Ali Khamis in Lane 3 Bahrain is

looking very good and Gil Roberts of the US has bit to do. At the moment,

will he finished strongly, it is Ali Khamis of Bahrain in the lead at the

moment. Matt Hudson-Smith with a late charge, cannot quite get there,

right on the line, so close, with Ali Khamis of Bahrain in the second.

Taplin got the victory. What a fast finish from Matt Hudson-Smith. And

we will look for the time as well. The time of the winner, Bralon

Taplin, 44.44. That is quick from Matthew Hudson-Smith and I think you

may well have qualified. Smiles for Hudson-Smith, he has seen the time.

He has got second in fact, he doesn't need the time, what a run,

he got him on the line and he has denied Ali Khamis Khamis. With 100

to do, Matt Hudson-Smith had so much to do but didn't he judged it well?

MICHAEL JOHNSON: He judged it well but he made a mistake from the start

to 200 but he corrected it. He ran tight in the first 200 so that

allowed him to actually have something left in the end. Great

adjustment. That was an adjustment by Matthew Hudson-Smith right there

after a mistake in the first 200 metres, given he was on the outside,

he was able to conserve a little bit from 200 to 300 which is where you

normally make a move, and get himself back into this from 300 to

400. This is when he is on the outside and he knows he has the

speed so he gets out tough and this is where you would normally start to

relax but we see he doesn't really relaxed, he is still pushing.

I thought, why let off the gas now, don't do that? It was a great

adjustment, good thing he didn't listen to me. He could now put

himself into position to come off and finished to get back into this

race and finish with a personal best. Fantastic adjustment by the

young 400-metre runner there. He is starting to establish himself with

this consistency this year. 44 seconds, mid 44, 44.5. That puts him

in the final where anything can happen. He could end up right in the

middle of all of the greats. You are starting to see some of these guys,

Matthew Hudson-Smith, Cittadini or from Trinidad and in, saying, you

know what, I wondered these of that too. -- I want a piece of that, too.

A fantastic run by Matthew Hudson-Smith, great to see him come

to the championships, make the adjustment and show some experience

and do good. He got second place by 100 of a second. There is a reaction

when he saw it. He is 21, he has run a big personal best to make an

Olympic final in the 400 metres. And now he is talking to full Clemens.

Well, your delight is clear to all to see. A huge personal best. You

are in an Olympic final. Can you believe it?

LAUGHTER It was crazy! Yeah... Tell us about

the race, it seems like Michael was talking about how you almost

consciously took, you know, took a step back and took it easy and

reserved energy and came on strong. Yeah, I messed up on the transition

of the top bend. But... I have no idea what just happened. It wasn't

an intentional thing, is what you're telling me. No, it was an

improvisation. My coach said, control your emotions. When I felt

them all go on me and go past, I was like, oh, OK, I'll have another go.

I just started giggling. I was getting closer and closer. I wasn't

sure if I made a -- I started kicking. When I saw that I came

second and made the final I was really happy. I know Michael just

said it, it's one of those things when once you're in the final, who

knows what can happen. Yeah, I'm in the final. At the end of the day,

being a champion is being here at the right time. And I proved it. So,

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

to work on still. 44.8, it wasn't the best of runs, there is a lot of

work on, and I'm really excited for the final mall. Congratulations,

fantastic, see you there. It wasn't the best of runs, a lot to work on,

four tenths of a second off his personal best comic but he has made

the final of the Olympics. And that is what it means. He got it right on

the line, 100th of a second ahead of Ali Khamis Khamis, who did look very

strong as well. An extraordinarily good run from Matt Hudson-Smith,

through to the final. And co Ronnie James just about

going, of -- James. Wade van Niekerk is in there as well. Matt

Hudson-Smith through with that time. That is your line-up for the final.

Greg Rutherford getting himself ready to start the defence of his

Olympic title in the long jump competition. And he got in by the

skin of his teeth, two no jumps, 790 got him through, in tenth place last

night. If there is anything Rutherford can do, we know it is a

big job when it counts. Will he do that here tonight and make history?

-- a big jump. We have adored Matthew Hudson-Smith from the

beginning. That night in Glasgow when he just stormed through there,

and ever since he has been a bit of a favourite of ours. And he gave

some brilliant advice last year as well. He's a good kid, it was good

having him in the studio last year. One thing that I really like about

Matt right there is that he talked about how that wasn't the best race.

Really what I like about him and bodes well for his future is that he

understands that coming he gets it, he understands exactly what he did.

You heard him talk about, yeah, I didn't transition well on the top of

the bend, and he didn't, but it worked to his benefit at the end of

the day, great move, you learn from that. Seeing an athlete come out

from a personal best and saying that wasn't the best race and I know

exactly why, that's the kind of athlete, especially in a race like

the 400 metres which is very strategic, you have to know what

were doing, where you are, why you want it and why you lost it. That is

what great runners do, he has a bright future ahead of him. He is

talking about learning a lot in the future, he needs to learn that

between now and the final because he has a great opportunity to do

something good and potentially bring home a medal. You never know what's

going to happen with the big three, Nico, Merritt and James. Those guys

-- van Niekerk. People like Matt Hudson-Smith could get in there and

sneak in and get a medal. The beauty I think, and I agree with what

you're saying, but the beauty with Matthew is that he doesn't actually

know, and that makes him feel us. That means he is almost prepared to

just run his own race, -- feel us. He listens to his body, whatever

I've got, I'm going to give. -- without fear. He has made a massive

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

36. The final is later on this evening,

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce looking to make history. But there are three

that you have taken a close look at for us. Tori Bowie, Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce obviously, then Dafne Schippers. Looking here at

Fraser-Pryce, they are just so different. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

with that quick start, look at the difference in turnover, that is due

to the different insights. Compact and powerful is Fraser-Pryce,

opening up a huge gap. She is high up on the blogs, and watch the quick

-- on the blocks, watch the quickness. Schippers has her

advantage, as long as she is patient, she closes the gap and is

able to take advantage of the longest ride and the fact that she

is able to, she has endurance. She was a happy athlete, she has endured

and can hold the -- heptathlete. She can hold the injuries. This year,

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has not been able to run like that. We haven't

been able to see her put that run up at the finish line. This year she

has been much more careful. This could be a great matchup. Tori Bowie

is there on the left of the screen. She is on fire this year. She didn't

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

be interesting. Then you have got the other Americans, and you've all

so got... Who else do we have? Denise, who is our 100m runner? You

just lost me that! We have got a great number of people, Gardner was

in the US championships. This should be interesting. Thank you, Michael.

We are going back out of the long jump and Steve Backley. We are

moments away from Greg Rutherford taking to the runway for the first

time. In the men's final. But before that, we see his training partner,

the Australians, one of two Australians humid the final, a real

mix of around the world, two Australia's, two South Africans, two

North Americans, Chinese. But first up, it is Lapierre, the world thing

silver-medallist. That looked like a foul. Was it? It is beyond eight

metres. It won't be measured. It is a quick runway, we have seen if you

Foulis. Greg Rutherford produced a couple himself and provocation. -- a

few fouls. He has been chomping at the peace. He has a completely

different demeanour about him than he had yesterday in qualification.

He looked focused. He looks eager. He is up for this, and he knows that

if he gets this right, you can go away with another Olympic title. It

is a big mountain to climb when you think he's not in the top of the

world list. He wasn't one of the best qualifiers, in fact, he was one

of the worst. But they know he's got something special about him. As he

composes himself, getting ready for his first jump. He almost put a

spell on the opposition. They look to him, because they know his

competitive medal is something special. World champion, Olympic

champion, double European champion. Every major outdoor title available

to him he has. Greg Rutherford on the runway, ready to leap the job of

his life. First round of the men's long jump final. Greg Rutherford.

Well, it's beyond eight metres. Is it a foul? It was close if it

wasn't. Over the board, it is a foul. It is a mark that will go into

the lead because the Uruguayan athlete is seven: 93. He took the

lead. Perfect on the board. He has made exactly the adjustment. That

bodes really well. We were talking to Colin Jackson earlier about the

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

first-round, big smile from Greg. The women's 400 metres.

Lane six is out very quickly. Tori Bowie alongside them. Two to go

through automatically. It is the American and the Trinidadian.

Tori Bowie, a great 200m got submicron, did this in her heat.

They are the automatic qualifiers. That was quick. 10:90 given to the

first two. Colin Jackson having a look at this one. It was brilliant

to see. Spelling out the blocks, we know how quick she is over that

60-metre mark. They raced each other through, to haul themselves into

that automatic selection position, where they get right through into

the final. Great racing, look at those times. Three ladies already

under 11 seconds. This is looking exciting, Andrew. The Jamaican has

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

being particularly quick. Here in the 100 we have seen some quick

times this evening. Everybody is stepping up now. The semifinals is

what it's all about now. You need to get into that final. Everybody is

sharp and focused looking for that final spot. The times can only

improve. There is the photo finish, that'll drugs are separated. It does

look as though Tony Bowie got it, -- they are difficult to separate. They

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

losers go through. That starts her in very good said. -- in good stead.

So then, we're well into this first round of the long jump final. Greg

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

was very quick in approach, Manyonga. That is going to tell and

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

lifetime best. He is 24 years old. He just seems to adjust there, maybe

more to come. He is one to watch. In 11 centimetres the plasticine.

Manyonga is 8:16. He goes into second place.

Well, perfect conditions here in the Olympic Stadium. It is around 23

degrees, not much wind to speak of. Jeff Henderson took the US

championships, the US title, with a huge jump. He is capable of jumping

beyond eight metres 50, and is possibly the biggest threat to Greg

Rutherford for the gold medal, certainly on paper. He wasn't good

last year in the World Championships, though, it all got to

him a little bit much and ended in tears there. What is he going to do

in the Olympic Games? Oh, it is a big, big jump for Jeff Henderson.

And it is a white flag. Well, it's really kicked off in this first

round. A subtle frown. On the brow of Rutherford. He will note that

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

goes into the lead. Rutherford, he knows he is capable of fighting back

for that. This is going to be a brilliant competition. The Olympic

triple jump champion and coach Dan Henderson is watching on. This is

going to be some competition. I bet Rutherford can't wait to get out for

his second dog, can he? -- second job. -- job. A great atmosphere in

the stadium. Rutherford will love this. He's got a good jump in. The

pressure is off a little and he can relax and just use the energy in the

stadium here, the Olympics they do, as we see.

As he challenged the lead? I thought I saw the mark of his feet beyond

the leading mark. He won't take the lead.

Super Saturday already warming up, isn't it? Greg Rutherford in second

place. Asha Philip in the second semifinal of the 100 metres and a

big semifinal here. Doesn't get any bigger. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and

attempting to be the first to win three gold medals consecutively.

Marie-Josee Ta Lou on her right. In Lane 6. Then we will move next to

lanes seven, Tianna Bartoletta. Second in the American

Championships, not only in this event but of course in the long

jump, where she is the world champion. 30 years of age,

Bartoletta. But running faster in the 100 metres than ever. 10.78.

Pohrebnyak from Ukraine in Lane 8. This one on the outside will get a

huge cheer. More than anybody else. Rosangela Santos. She funnily enough

is from Brazil. The one we haven't seen is Dafne Schippers. Landazuri

from Ecuador over on the inside. Len two. Dafne Schippers, Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce, two of the favourites for the gold medal and Asha Philip,

trying to take them on. First two and two fastest losers. We have seen

the three women go sub 11 in that first semifinal already. The wind

slightly behind them. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce goes away

and Schippers stays second. 10.89. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is getting

faster and faster and faster. This quest to become the first to win

three Olympic titles. Some tears. Is she limping? I was just looking at

that, seeing her reaction. Trying to see down the track. She is not happy

at all, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. But she should be with the run itself

because it was very good, explosive. Everything we know about her, she

delivered in the semifinal. I wonder if she nipped a muscle at the back

end. She switched off with about ten metres to go. I am hoping she hasn't

done any damage because we truly want to see her in the final. No

answer from anybody else in this field. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce out

hard. Extending the lead in the middle part of the race with that

great magical turnover. The pocket rocket. Dafne Schippers couldn't

quite get to the line but 10.89 is the time and it tells you she is in

good shape. It is literally just as she goes over the line. As she goes

over the line, she pops in the air a little bit. It is not something

major I think but that tears did come. She knew. Yes, she knows

there's something wrong and you cannot quite put a hand to it. It

will be frustrating for us all because if she doesn't make it

through to the final, because of this injury, it would be so

disappointing for her because she's going for this triple as an Olympic

champion. Let's keep our fingers crossed that she has qualified. Asha

Philip was in a very tough semifinal there and I guess time will tell,

she hasn't got too much time. That race in an hour and 20 minutes.

Ta Lou running very fast. There is another semifinal to come but at the

minute, that would be the quickest for a fastest loser spot but not for

Tianna Bartoletta. Will Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce be able to run the

final? We are getting towards the end of

the first round of the long jump final and Jarrion Lawson, one of the

most talented in this field. Runner-up in the European

Championships. 22-year-old American. He is the world leader in the first

round. It is a big effort. Lawson, the Americans have come with a very

different attitude than they did a year ago. It is good on the board.

Lawson, this may even threaten the lead. A little dip and drive, you

saw him lose his height and then extend up, it is perfect on the

board. Lawson is going to be a handful. Greg Rutherford has a

mountain to climb. Lawson, 8.19, just one centimetre shy of his

team-mate. It is USA, one, two. Jessica Ennis-Hill is out and

getting herself ready for the second group in this heptathlon javelin. It

starts in about five minutes time. She is a 48.33 PB in the javelin. If

they all run their PBs tonight, she would take gold. We have seen

Katarina Johnson-Thompson some weight the -- some way below her

best. They are ready down there for the

third semifinal and what semifinals we have seen so far. Six women below

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

Elaine Thompson is quickest in the world so far. The zero Henry, one of

the quickest qualifiers, didn't leave a lot out. -- Desiree Henry.

Very good conditions. Just a slight breeze behind the sprinters.

Blessing Okagbare, perhaps not as quite as fast as she was a couple of

years ago. Needs to get out quickly. If she starts well, she stands a

good chance of going through. The American champion, English Gardner.

Took the US title for a second time in Oregon last month with that 10.74

which only Elaine Thompson has betted this season. Tatjana Pinto on

the outside, ran 11 seconds in Germany. And there is Carina Horn of

South Africa. Hull City South African 100 metres record. -- holds

the South African 100 metres record. Semoy Hackett has served a couple of

drug bans, she is in Lane 3. Outside her, Elaine Thompson, we have seen

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce go through but what state was she in? Was it

just a recurrence of her toe injury which has trouble throughout the

season? The final is just over an hour and 20 minutes time. Elaine

Thompson was flying up a month or so ago but she has been troubled with a

hamstring problem. Two to go through automatically. And the two fastest

losers. But we have seen some very quick time so far.

It is Elaine Thompson and English Gardner. It gets quicker and

quicker. The two Jamaican set the quickest times. 10.894 Elaine

Thompson, 10.89 four Shelley and Fraser-Pryce. -- Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce. Elaine Thompson has just been pipped on the line by

guessing Okagbare. The question whether Elaine Thompson's hamstring

problems she has been talking about... But no signs of any

problems there. COLIN JACKSON: Here, I think there is so much more to

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

Out of the blocks well. Yellow and black Jamaican strip. Focused down

here. She's gentle, bouncing. Right now, she will shut down. The engines

will calm down. She knows she is through to the final, easy and

smooth. Desiree Henry working hard to get there. She will be a little

disappointed because she wants to get that 11 seconds barrier under

her belt but it will calm, be patient. She is 20 and she has gone

close to an Olympic final but it is ending here in the semifinal, at

least individually for Desiree Henry. Eight go through to the

final. All eight have run below 11 seconds in that final in about an

hour and 20 minutes. The action is coming thick and fast

this evening. Greg Rutherford is on the runway. His second attempt in

the long jump final. Just four centimetres covering the top

athletes. Rutherford currently in third place. It is another jump

beyond eight metres, you can see the white lines of the lead. This will

come down to absolutely tiny margins. There is great's coach,

worked so hard on his run-up. Was perfect on the board in the first

round. That bodes well to him to compete. It is good again. Four

jumps remaining. It doesn't look like it will improve on the 8.18.

Two centimetres off Henderson's lead of 8.20. Rutherford in third place,

behind the two Americans, no improvement in the second round.

Take a breath. Because Jessica Ennis-Hill is on the runway and she

has gone about her business quietly and competently across the previous

five events. This is the sixth, a slightly different look on the face

of Toni Minichiello. The work is done, now, it is time to let rip,

Mick Hill, the javelin specialist coach brought into the team a good

few years back and has produced a fairly stable technique. A throw

beyond 45 metres would be ideal. Jessica Ennis-Hill, first round of

the javelin. Just decelerated slightly on that but it is a big

effort. It is a huge effort, a massive throw for Jessica

Ennis-Hill. Wow, that may have clinched her another Olympic gold

medal. Because if this is beyond 45 metres, I don't think anyone can

catch her. She is exceptional over 800 metres, the right foot goes

forward, she committed the hip, and that is wonderful. I know Mick Hill

backhoe will have hit the roof with that. Two throws remaining. That is

just what she would have wanted. I would be honest, I thought it was a

little further. There is Toni Minichiello. That is about as

enthusiastic as we have seen as a reaction across all the events. That

is Toni celebrating inside, trust me. I was nervous there. The

warm-ups were not great but a good start for Jess.

Saturday night is all right for fighting for your Olympic gold

title. Jessica Ennis-Hill has absolutely punched through with her

first throw because that will totally settle the nerves, calming

her down. She did everything she has been coached to do and you were

saying, that is the block her hip should be, it was a beautiful

example of how to throw a javelin. DENISE LEWIS: It was everything you

want to see in the technique, steady on the runway, kept that arm back

nicely says she has given herself a long range to throw through. She

blocked that left leg which acts as a pivot. It is almost like a

slingshot, you block hard and it slings the javelin and she did it

brilliantly. Just what you need for the first round. We just watched

Thiam, the leader by five points going into this, the Belgian, having

an incredible competition so far. She sat to the left of her and she

looked a little bit concerned because Thiam's 800 is nowhere near

as good as Jess' says she will have to throw big. Mo Farah time is

coming up as well, it is thick and fast tonight. We knew that when we

came in, we would be treated to some fantastic athletics. Mo Farah

heading out onto the track. A story of human movement. This

looks easy. It has been anything but. 1983, the start. Twin boys are

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

London. He loves football. Running. There are setbacks. Disappointing

performance by Mo Farah. Successors. He has destroyed them. --

successors. He must change, change routine, coach, change everything.

He must move to move faster. Is he ready now? Is this the time? Is this

the place? Farah is going for it, it's gold! It is. He is the double

Olympic champion. These are Moura nights and these are Moura towns.

And it becomes the motion picture of the age, to be repeated and

appreciated time after time. Stinging away, as expected. Our

monumental Mo. Mo Farah at his best, the world champion again. Five world

titles, simply says Asian. What comes next in this story of human

movement -- simply sensational. Already among the greats, can he now

pulled clear? Rio Mo. Go Mo. Here they come, the 10,000 metre

athletes making their way out into the arena, all 34 of them. It was

Jeffrey come or who led the way, arguably the man who many feel can

put up the biggest fight for Mo look at him, telling them to get the

crowd behind him. He wants the crowd to be with him and enjoy the

spectacle. He wants the support, he knows he's ready, he's excited. Part

of the reason they've brought that run on the quarter finals, we didn't

see it in the morning finals, probably because it was dark, as

they come out they get that entrance to the arena and he's going to

really play today in the arena. He knows he's in shape, he knows the

others are going to bring it to him but he knows he's ready. We are just

going to catch the javelin, Nafi Thiam is going to throw. The event

leader. Let's not forget, Jessica Ennis-Hill still has work to do,

because Nafi Thiam, a very slender lead of just nine points ahead of

Jess. Thiam is 21 years of age. And she is a brilliant javelin thrower.

Starting from a short approach he though. -- here. Maybe she can do

it, it is a long throw. Oh, she has produced something massive. But she

has hurt her elbow, has she? It probably doesn't matter. That's over

50 metres. Wow. This is drama. Jess watching on, she knows that the 45

she's just thrown is a diesel throw for her. But look at the flight on

that. It could be a new lifetime best for the Belgian. At 21 years of

age, Nafi Thiam produced something very social. It's 53:13. And that's

close to a lifetime best -- very special.

But now it's Mo time. The first part of the trilogy that is stupid

Saturday. This one could be completed first. Mo Farah going for

gold. Brendan Foster and Steve Cram take it away. Well, it's Saturday,

it's the Olympic Games, time for some gold. Mo Farah, the first to

have his opportunity on Super Saturday. His big rival in this

race, not only one but he may be the biggest one, Jeffrey Kamworor from

Kenya. Ross Millington and Andy Vernon will be joining row Mo Farah

wearing the British vest. The same three Kenyans if you tried to pull

the finish out of the world champions last year. Dana Lash of

Ethiopia, the world champion, that is a title that he was winning in

2012 went Mo Farah was winning his Olympic title. A little further down

the line, the familiar face of Tadese, on a couple of occasions in

his younger days he tried to wrest this title from some of the great

names of the past who tried to win it. Big cheer for Mo Farah.

Ready to go. Greg Rutherford watching on the big screen as well.

Mo's training partner Abdi, he has been with him with the rest of the

British squad as well. Toll behind, trying to look for a bit of room. A

big field. -- Tamirat Tola. There are two lines lining up. There is

Paul Tanui. He qualified by rights at the Kenyan Olympic trials. The

other two big names did not finish the race. We will get a chance to

doubt about that later. That is not a familiar name, but if you wearing

the best of Ethiopia in an Olympic final you are pretty good. Galen

Rupp is a familiar figure, former training partner of Mo Farah. Galen

will be contesting the marathon as well week on Sunday. So, can Mo

Farah retain his 10,000 metre title? Can he win his third Olympic

gold-medal? No British athlete has never been able to do that. The

Olympic Games four years ago was two golds. So, here we go. The 10,000

metre final. 25 laps of the track. Well, I know everybody in the

stadium and I hope people sitting at home full of anticipation for what

is going to happen in this race. We have a world record in the women's

10,000 metre final, and that might be the one thing that is not going

to happen here. Yes, we might have said the same about the women's.

Look at this familiar sight. Mo Farah, Olympic Games, right at the

back of the field. Just relaxing, getting into his running, letting

everybody do whatever they want to do. And Mo Farah, the defending

Olympic champion from Great Britain. On Super Saturday, you can't believe

it was only four years ago. Tonight we have jess throwing the javelin,

Greg Rutherford doing the long jump, and Mo Farah is now an part of his

journey. The three from Siemens added a role in action now. Here is

what we expected to happen. The Kenyan team have decided over many

years, they weren't able to beat Mo Farah if they left the pace slow, so

they decided they were going to do is the about it. There is Greg

Rutherford. It is all taking off here, the Brits aren't full flow.

Greg Rutherford I'm sure will be buoyed by the fact that Mo, his

friend and colleague who went for gold four years ago, is in the

stadium. Rutherford, round three of the long jump in third place behind

the Americans. Well, difficult to tell without the lines there. He has

been perfect on the board so far. The atmosphere is electric here in

the yellow Brick Stadium this evening. He is working hard, eight

number col and 80 at his best. Rutherford has taken the lead at!

Wow! Unbelievable stuff. Rutherford at the halfway stage is in

gold-medal position. Look at this, eight number column 22 in the third

round. I'm sure there is more drama to come. -- 8:20 do. Talking to his

coach Zampa. He fought his way by -- he fought his way back into the

lead. This is going to be tied. Back to the race. It is already building.

We said earlier on, that long jump, the heptathlon, it is an ultimate

event. The early stages of the 10,000 metres. We started with a

67.5 lap. We just had a 71, much lower for the second lap. Mo Farah

still content to be at the back. Just watching what is going on. Ross

Millington and Andy Vernon are little bit ahead of him. Two Kenyans

towards the front, two towards the back, maybe an Mo will watch,

keeping an eye on him, making sure that he is covering it. Tanui is

that the front. We are an Mo watch. It is great to know that you need

confidence to do what Mo has just done. Sit at the back of the field.

To: 65 for the first 10,000 metres. You are talking about how you're

going to lead and set the pace and make sure that I can't be tested at

the end of the race because you have to test me in the middle. But it's

not unveiling itself yet. The Kenyan team, three athletes who finished

behind Mo Farah. There is Mo Farah at the back. Ross Millington covered

by Steve Vernon in there. Just ahead of him, Andy Vernon, the other

British athlete. Mo is setting the pace from the back. They are just

waiting to see something happen. Mo is a long way behind. I would

imagine that in the next few laps he will do something about it. Here is

Jess Ennis-Hill get ready to go, as the 10,000 metre runners go past.

Best is 45th 91 in the first round. She just decelerated on that. It is

another big throw. This may even be an improvement. We saw that huge

throw from Thiam. We worked out it is about 140 points that Thiam is

ahead. That equates to about ten seconds in the 800 metres, the last

event later on this evening. That is the difference between their

perspective. Oh, this going to be close. 46 and a colon 064 Jessica

Ennis-Hill, she has in the second round. If she can nick away a point

here she is going to save herself valuable tents or possibly seconds

combat final two lap race. So will come that final.

Well, that was a couple of tenths slower. She needs to run the 800

metres if it stays that way. Not much, though, every little helps. Mo

Farah just moving out to have a look and see what is going on at the

front. He gets the sense it is picked up. A couple of slow laps,

and now the pace has got moving a little bit. Not really going to

fast. It was a 67 lap, but moan looking to see who it is at the

front. He won't be too worried, although we haven't had a fast first

mile or so here, the Kamworor four laps also. You just sense -- the

first four laps also, you sense it won't be long until they try

something. It is obviously not long until the very beginning. I suspect

that the fact that they are closed on the front means it won't be too

long. Mo will be absolutely delighted. He has run five laps in

70 seconds per lap. For him, that is like a morning jog, it really is.

For him, those five laps behind him means the race is shorter, moving in

his own. If anything, these long-distance runners are more

accomplished over longer distances, half marathon or marathon, Mo is the

king on the trap. -- track. Mo is relaxing, looks perfect, looks

comfortably controlled there. Not doing anything about it, but nobody

is doing anything about it. The longer this goes on, the happier Mo

is going to be. He's decided though, that's enough. Now I'm going to let

you know I'm around. Moving gradually through the field. Passing

the Kenyan athlete who is going to follow him, I'm pretty sure. He has

done that. Muchiri has said that, you're the guy we've got to beat if

we're going to ever do anything, we're going to knock you off mike

the top of the pile. He did it in the half marathon in Cardiff, can he

do it in the 2000 metres's we will find out later.

That race in Cardiff seems such a long time ago, rainy and blustery in

March, that is putting it politely, a rainy and blustery day. Kamworor

running one of the most impressive pieces of distance running you can

see, a blistering first mile back in the race having practically been

trampled by Moe. Of course, Mo Farah wasn't able to live with that. That

half marathon, everybody said, can Kamworor come here and do the same,

it was a different story on the track. Kamworor now will for the

first time, if he has a little look over his shoulder, will see that Mo

Farah has got himself involved in the race. He took a lap to get up

there, and look at the confusion he has caused behind him. Everybody

goes, Mo is up and the game is on. Mo is naughty like that, he goes to

the front and then thinks, I think I might slow this down now. But it is

absolutely brilliant what he is doing, he let them know he is there.

He moves to the front and has let them know who the boss is and that

is a bit of psychological warfare. He can't believe it is happening at

this pace and we have all been reading how they are going to take

him on and run the finish out of him. Mo has been reading that as

well and he has adjusted his training slightly. He feels he is a

bit stronger. We know how fast the years. -- we know how fast he is.

The Kenyans surrounding Mo Farah but not doing anything serious. Mo

looking absolutely fantastic tonight, he is so light on his feet

these days. Some of the photographs when I was younger, you said, I look

a little fatter than this. He says he is now happy and he is ready to

run this race. He is getting himself poised. That was the quickest lap of

the race so far. 65.1 seconds. Mo, I was with the endurance squad with Mo

for a week or so and you are right, he is so relaxed. Still putting the

miles in two a few weeks ago. You said he was light on his feet,

watching him during his track work when he builds and builds, I can

tell you that at the end of one of his sessions, he ran a 49.4, I would

have publicised that to the world. It is frightening speed and at the

end of the session when he did a lot of miles and kilometres, nobody has

that ability and I'm not sure any 10,000 metre runner, even the

greats. That is staggering, 49 seconds from Mo Farah. I think you

will be really happy. 16 laps remaining, only one lap has really

got him... It is beginning to get a little faster. It is beginning to

move along. Mo Farah is on the journey, one of only three athletes

who have got two Olympic gold medals and Mo is looking for a third.

Daley Thompson try to win three gold medals and he finished fourth in

1998 in Seoul having won in 1984. This is Mo's chance to try to become

the first British athlete to win three gold medals in an Olympic

Games. It is looking good for him so far. Mo has fallen. He is quickly

up, just got a little clip there and it is the one thing they feared, the

whole Mo team, on numerous occasions, the conversation often

comes round to what if he falls? One time we jokingly said, even if he

fell on the last lap, he would probably get up and win. But you

don't want this happening. Mo is just relaxing and it may have been

Galen just caught the back of his heel. He is quickly up and he isn't

hurt. But that can upset your rhythm. It is an early stage

admittedly but it is not good. Galen Rupp, sometimes his training partner

but Mo Farah bounced up very quickly. I saw this in the Olympic

final in need 10,000 metres when a runner took a tumble but went on to

break the world record. I said everything was looking OK for Mo

Farah and sadly he tumbled over. I would say, keep away from Galen

Rupp! Hopefully that hasn't shaken him too much. What that does, it

sends your heart rate shooting high for a little bit. He just needs to

settle down for a little bit. They are just winding us up at the front,

it is the Ethiopians not the Kenyans doing it. Two of them at the front.

Demelash, the younger one. The Kenyans think, OK, thank you, we

will take this invitation. Mo Farah just happily as they stretch out a

little bit, a few gaps appearing. This injection of pace is beginning

to take a little bit of affect and again, is that Kamworor checking

behind? Muchiri may be checking behind to say, keep off my heels,

please. Muchiri saying to Cheptegei, just be careful.

Not too far from the halfway point. It is getting quicker and faster and

getting stretched and attention starts to build a little bit.

Another 64 second lap. It is pretty quick for a 10,000 metres but they

didn't start at that pace. They started very slowly and that was to

the advantage of Mo. He is relaxing now, and it is safer now when gaps

are opening. Mo has to be a bit more conscious now and be careful, you

have to get yourself over the next couple of laps and when they are

tired, it can be trouble and you can see little gaps appearing which

gives everyone space. The pace is strong but not phenomenal, not

testing the likes of Mo Farah. Galen Rupp took the move through the field

and you can sense now it is building a little. Jarrion Lawson on the

runway. It is for the third time of asking. The young American, 22 years

of age, his best so far, 8.19. This is his third attempt. That is big.

Lawson has jumped something to challenge the lead here, I believe,

the young American, the world leader with 8.58 and he is the danger man,

we know that. Did he nick the sand further back? This may not come up

as far as it looks. His hand may have dropped back into the sand, the

closest point to the board will be the measurement. As Lawson wait

anxiously... He likes it, I haven't seen it yet. It is 8.25 and Lawson

takes the lead away from Greg Rutherford. We are in the third

round of the halfway stage. Jarrion Lawson is now in the lead. The lead

changes in the long jump, as it does in the 10,000 metres and now we have

the three Kenyans. The race is now on, Paul Tanui, the first one to

throw the gauntlet down the Mo Farah and Mo Farah realising this is

meaningful, the Ethiopians pushed it on a little bit and picked the pace

up and stretch the field out and got the race going but this is serious

now. We have passed halfway, 13.53, they did 6000 metres. Bath 5000

metres. The last two K have been fairly quick. That is enabling the

Kenyans to build on that. Paul Tanui and we thought Tanui would be the

one out of the three, if there was a plan, it would be Tanui who might be

asked to push it on to help Kamworor. The plan was obviously to

let it alone for the first 5000 metres but going through 5000

metres, in that time, means Mo Farah is moving into his territory. He can

handle 30.53 in training sessions, so he won't be tested over 10,000

metres, but over a little more than 5000 metres and that is very much

the Mo's advantage. Tanui leading, Kamworor, who hasn't been well

recently, he's definitely not the same Geoffrey Kamworor that we saw

earlier in the season. I thought he would test Mo Farah over 10,000

metres. Andy Vernon running for Great Britain, coming down the home

straight. Detached from the field and having a bit of a hard time. It

is a bit worn for them and he seems to be sweating quite a lot. The

three Kenyans in the lead, Mo Farah is with them and the two Ethiopians

on the outside. Galen Rupp has drifted towards the back so Mo Farah

has athlete around him and after the shop he had earlier, I think he

wants to try to move out a little and give himself a bit of clearance.

That is what I would be worried about. Tanui stretching on and here

is Jess Ennis. She has come off her run up and come close to the lying

and that was the downfall. That is a shame. She did run that but she got

very close to the line. She almost had to bail out. Look at this,

really close to the line. She had to decelerate but it was a good effort

in that second round. But that will be exciting for the 800 metres

between herself and Nafi Thiam. 30 years of age, Jess, Nafi Thiam just

21. Ennis-Hill still in second place

overall. Chopping and changing, just slow

down a bit, Paul Tanui, which means it is Muchiri's turn to come to the

front. Last year, they went through 5000 in the 30 point -- 13 .53.

Muchiri has taken off at the front. It looks like their plan is to do a

bit of this, I was surprised when Mo Farah took a tumble and they didn't

realise and sees that moment to really make it tough and start

injecting the pace early and take advantage of the fact Mo Farah was

ruffled a little bit. I have been watching his style and he doesn't

seem to be affected by that fall, not carrying any limp. Thankfully,

he seems to have come through that all right. The jolt of adrenaline

might have given him an extra boost of energy. Not a particularly warm

nights, a pretty good night for 10,000 metre running. You don't go

and have a drink when the race is on. 63, the previous lap. Muchiri,

now... Brendan, surging is good because it hurts a lot of people and

Mo Farah has so much pace to burn compared to others. The people

surging won't seem like they are surging as much as him. He is

working, as good as you are, you are still working at this pace but they

are not hurting him yet. He is of course working but he really wants

to get on with it now. Changing the pace and he is just following them.

The race is getting going, less athletes at the front and he is

amongst them all and I think you would be very happy if they kept

pressing and kept going and kept moving forward and he is absolutely

where he wants to be. As the lap scorers now, it is down in the

single figures which really helps you. Kamworor was the one thought to

be the danger but he has had a tough couple of weeks and he hasn't been

well recently. He is still giving it his best shot tonight but I don't

think there is a champion out there. I think Kamworor has shown his good.

Kamworor beat Mo Farah over a half marathon, as did Muchiri, but

tonight, he really looks comfortable. He's probably thinking,

six laps to go, what are you going to do about it? This is Mo Farah

territory and they are making it easy for him. The last few laps have

been a little calf but not exceptionally so. Demelash now, and

the Kenyan plan hasn't evolved at all. If you are going to have a plan

which will rip the heart out of Mo Farah, it would be long, hard

running. It has been a long and hard night for Ross Millington. He has

had a bit of a troubled preparation. Getting his opportunities to be in

this great arena but he moves out as the main protagonists come through.

It is the Ethiopians looking sprightly right from the beginning.

Demelash and Tola. Kamworor still looking laboured. Galen Rupp still

in there. He will always come into this well prepared. Well

conditioned, Galen Rupp. He has looked pretty relaxed about this and

just a bit of a stretch on her. He is doing his share.

62, that was the fastest lap of the 10,000 metres, entering its closing

stages. Manyonga oh, the 24-year-old South African, 16 in the first

round, two foul since then. Rutherford is ahead of him. Chasing

down badly. That is a big jump for Manyonga. Well, we didn't expect him

to challenge for medals. But it looks as though, in the latter

stages, we're into the second half of this men's long jump final, and

at the moment it is Lawson's lead of 8:25 that is being challenged by the

South African. It is 8:20 eight. Manyonga of South Africa goes into

the lead. -- eight number call and 28.

Another 62 lap from Demelash. Only one of the Kenyans has got any

chance. Mo Farah, Galen Rupp, Muchiri desperately trying to hang

on. Geoffrey Kamworor's medal quest looks to be disappearing. We are

quickly down to five. Galen Rupp of the USA is hanging on to Mo Farah,

hanging on to the two Ethiopians. Mo Farah realises that the danger is

not from Kenya, it is Ethiopian. It certainly is. Throughout the Kenyan

challenge, the plan to run the finish certainly hasn't happened.

Geoffrey Kamworor looked very well coming into the race but clearly he

isn't able to do it now. It is to Miri, Mo Farah, Talha, Demelash. Mo

has got to be careful. Three laps to go. This is winnable for Farah for

this point. Mo has got the ability, stamina, speed. Now it is a case of

positioning yourself, Mo. Just get yourself ready, don't give any more

chances. We don't want any more spills were accidents. From here,

the reigning Olympic champion is in a position where he is driving them.

Coming up to 1000 metres. The pace has not been excessive. It has been

powerful in the latter stayed us. For the first time, Mo is now in

control. He is in the lead. He has got to know if a company, he has got

Tala for company, he has got his team-mate in America Galen Rupp for

company. And Demelash of Ethiopian. But there are no great champions and

that apart from Mo Farah. Baz, concentrate on the race. Two laps to

go for Mo Farah. -- Mo. Can he do what no British athlete has ever

done before by winning a gold medal? 'S looking comfortable.

Mo is looking comfortable. He will see them fairly easily, attempting

to win his eighth gold medal. Mo Farah down the back straight with

just over 600 metres to go. To has a little look behind. We have got two

Ethiopians there, Demelash and Tala. You can almost throw a blanket over

the five of them here. Mo Farah just wants to control this. We've been

here before, we've seen this before, we know what happens from here. Now

it's about determination, it's about Mo Farah getting in the lead. Coming

into the home straight, he has got to Miri, who's been there before,

he's got Galen Rupp, the silver-medallist from London, he has

got Demelash, Hugh looks to be in a little bit of trouble. Has Mo got

the power? -- who looks in a bit of trouble. Has he got the speed to

defend the title that the great ones have done before him. He has got to

try and hold up. Gather yourself again, Mo. He has to dig deep.

You've got to look ahead of yourself. Tanui going hard, as fast

as he can. Mo Farah having to work hard. Tola is still there. There is

danger in front, danger behind. He has a look behind, checking what is

there. Mo Farah attempting to retain his 10,000 metre Olympic title.

Tanui is giving it everything, but here comes Mo Farah. Mo Farah moves

out, and he is sprinting away. This has come to the inevitable. Bow to

his superiority, Mo Farah wins the gold. He retained his title. Makes

history. He comes the first British athlete to win three Olympic gold

medals. The man of his victory a familiar one. -- the manner of his

victory. But surely, surely, for Mo Farah this takes him into a place

where not only he has ever been, but no British athlete has ever been.

Simply wonderful, wonderful distance running from Mo Farah. And you know,

he just does a little check of a graze on his shoulder, but that is

about as much damage as has been done. We joked, but it is not a

joke, to say that the only way he could lose it was to trip up on

full. Well, he tripped up and fell but he got up and he still won. But

he did it the only that Mo Farah can do, -- the way that only Mo Farah

can do. It was absolutely fantastic. It was a plan that we have read

about and listen to the Kenyans talking about, once again it didn't

unfold. Mo was tested in the later stages of that race. It was a hard

last lap. 55 seconds on the last lap. He ran the last mile in 4:03.

That was brilliant, brilliant. Seb Coe will be the first one to

congratulate him. The British athlete who won to gold muddles.

Thomson will be celebrating at home. -- who won two gold medals. Mo has

turned two Olympic gold medals into a third. The first British athlete

ever to win three Olympic gold medal. What a pleasure it has been

watching him on his journey. And the races, he will Sock on them to

perfection. Every point in the race he was at the right place. He's

tired, and I'm not surprised. That was a hard way to do it. That last

lap, 55 seconds, he couldn't run much faster than that, he was under

pressure. It was Tanui of Kenya who gave him a race tonight. Just

looking at the stats, 13:12, the differential between the winning

time, it is almost the same as Beijing last year but the

differential is greater than it was last year between the first five on

the second five. His last lap was slower. I think most things, if I

were 53 in the last lap I win. That was a hard 55. -- if I run. If you

are running the mile that leads up to it, you've got be hurting. He is

struggling to do the Mobot there. What a joy it has been to watch him.

And when he runs tonight, every single point of the race Mo Farah

was doing absolute lightning. Only the format was the doubt. Later on

he started using his hands and elbows to keep him in that position.

Mo Farah, Olympic champion, defending the title. Just like the

great ones have done before. Many athletes have won the 10,000 metres

twice, including Howie Gabriela C. He has joined the history of

distance running, the great ones are on that list. And now Mo Farah joins

them. The greatest distance runners of all time, he is getting them

company. It wasn't very many years ago when Mo Farah said, can I run a

race against Halley Gabriel Selassie, just to see how good he

is? And he has actually done it. He has got more gold muddles than

Halley Gabriels Alesi. For a man who has won his gold, what about Greg

Rutherford? It is turning into Super Saturday the sequel. Greg

Rutherford, you may have seen in the back of shot during that wonderful

race, he did this. It was a large jump, may have taken the lead, but

it was a marginal foul. In fact, it did look long enough to have taken

the Legion have been valid. It was a tiny little nick of the plasticine

is a will to have taken the lead. The officials were doing their work

correctly. Shame. But we do have two jumps remaining.

So that happened during the race. Where back live in the fifth round

very soon. That almost looks like not foul, then maybe an appeal on

that. There may be some drama there. Where back live now, Manyonga is in

the lead. 8:28, the young man from South Africa, beaten by his South

African team-mate Sam I -- Samaai. Oh, what has he done here? He has

just extended his lead, it looks like. Eightth 28. -- 8:20 eight. It

looks as though it is eight: 38 in his round five. This kind of

distance is pretty much anyone in this final could pop up and jump and

win. But Manyonga has found his rhythm. 8:30 seven. Possibly one

hand on a gold medal for the South African. Greg is going to have to

jump eight salvage this competition and retain his title. But that man

has already done it in the 10,000 metres. An incredible race from Mo

Farah. He is utterly exhausted, he had to did keep, and we will hear

from him shortly. But on this action packed Saturday we have to dip out

of the track and field for a minute. Great Britain has a great chance in

the swimming. The women's 53 final. The great

British athlete in six. They are all here, this is the final

that we wanted. The Campbell sisters are here, the world champion is

here, the defending Olympic champion is here. There is van Gaal so, she

is in the final of the women's 50 metres freestyle.

Well, she has been focusing on this format years since a disappointing

2012. She has had a good start, as had the Olympic champion. Francis is

going well, Fran is in first position. She is in lane six and

going well. She needs to really finish down this last five metres.

It is the Danish athlete. What a gold medal for Denmark. The silver

has gone to the champion on the 100s, and fourth place to the

Belarussian athletes. Hal soul is in for. Oh my word, that was close.

Fran looked like she had got it all the way down to 45 metres. Penelope

Wilton finishing strongly. It is such a close, tight race. -- bloom.

She was .2 of a second. She missed gold, and she is forth. Great start

with determination for Bloom. She has not put a foot wrong. In the

middle she was well down, left of the yellow lanes. Fran is leading at

this point, 15 metres to go. Manuel is seventh, looking like she was

going in first. Bloom gets the fingertip touch. From the minute she

saw her name, she can't believe it. She is being congratulated by the

other athletes. Back inside the athletic Stadium, Mo Farah has

finally found his wife Tanya and his daughter Rhiannon. They have

travelled here. The other children aren't home. We will get huge

reaction, I'm sure, for a bit later on -- at home. We will catch up with

the long jump. It's the American on the runway, Geoffrey Henderson. The

world leader with eight metres and 58. So he is capable of taking this

from the South African. 8:37 leave the Olympic final. Rutherford is in

third place at the moment. What a strange jump! It is clearly very

close to the plasticine. Rutherford is behind there, keen to get going.

It is valid, but it seemed to forward rotate, that was a weird

job. It seemed to forward rotate and force his legs down. It was a big

effort. He is capable of more. This is going to be some last round.

Anderson. 8:22, the same distance as Greg Rutherford but better on count

back, he goes into second place. Oh, this is drama. Rutherford out of the

medals, having been in the lead early in the competition. What can

he do about it in this fifth round? Oh, he worked for that. Stretched

and reached. Oh, I don't like the look of that in round five. I'd like

to have seen something to give us confidence that he is going to go

big in the last round. I'm sure he gathers all the optimism that he

can, but that is a jump that won't improve his position, I don't

believe. He's in fourth place with one jump remaining. At the moment,

it's the South African Manyonga out in front. And then the two

Americans, Rutherford still in fourth place.

Let's have a look at the one really anxious moments, chipped by Galen

Rupp. He did do well though, when he was falling, he was already

beginning to get ready to get up. There he is on the last lap, Paul

Tanui next him and Paul Tanui makes the move and Mo let him go. At this

moment, a couple of anxious glances over his shoulder, nothing coming

from Tola. He is stretching and running strongly but Mo has one man

ahead of him for his Olympic gold medal and he is not going to give it

up easily. Mo Farah will always give 100%. Up to the straight and Mo

moving, Paul Tanui stretching and they are pulling away from Tola. Mo

kicks and gets a few yards and look again, another effort from Tanui, he

won the gold medal but Mo knows he will get it. Mo comes home, hands on

his head. He really is one of the greatest of all time. The great

names we talk about, Haile Gebrselassie among others, we are

now looking at the great Mo Farah. On the Olympic stage for the third

time, celebrating as he has developed over the years, and that

was a hard run over the last lap. I am pretty sure he found it hard but

we have seen it before. Looks over his shoulder, there is nothing

coming and he can get ready to celebrate and he does. What a

delight to see, what a great athlete and guy and what a journey he has

been on. You can relax now, Mo. Three gold medals, more than any

other British athlete has ever won before.

What a moment the Mo Farah. Not that long ago, he went on his lap of

honour, desperately trying to find his wife and Rhianna is in the crowd

as well. He eventually did. We will be speaking to Mo shortly hopefully.

But first, the action continues thick and fast and Michael Rimmer

going for Great Britain in this semifinal. It is the 800 metres

first two and the next two will get through to the final tomorrow. I am

told Michael hasn't been too well in the village so it'll be interesting

to see he performs. All of these semis are tough. Mark loosely is in

this. Big threats. Lewandowski as well. Ferrer of Brazil has gone off.

-- Davide. Olympic semifinals are always hard. It will be a very tough

one for Michael Rimmer. I heard you say he hadn't been well but he will

have to do his best night. He certainly won't go through if you

doesn't. The Brazilian crowd going mad, having a Brazilian leader.

Bosse is on his shoulder. The Olympic 1500 metre champion on the

outside and there is Lewandowski on the back straight making a run. I

think they are going too fast for Michael Rimmer. Bosse glides to the

front. Makhloufi looking a little tested for the first time. Michael

Rimmer struggling as we thought he might do. Look at McGlynn free, the

1500 specialist, looking incredibly strong. -- look at Makhloufi. The

others will be chasing times. Cheruiyot now being passed by

Lewandowski. That is quick. Michael Rimmer was always going to find that

tough even if he was 100% and Makhloufi is the 1500 metres

specialist. Bosse made the right move down the straight, I like the

way he is running at the moment. He has had so many injury problems

which he has overcome, Michael Rimmer, he has been in pretty good

shape. Not the only one in the British camp who has been ill. They

were a couple this morning as well. Sadly the end of his Olympic

campaign. It is a shame for Michael Rimmer but the feel he had today in

the semifinal was outstanding. Bosse looking comfortable, looking strong.

Makhloufi driving. Now they are racing the third and

fourth place. I wonder if we will see explosions later on in the other

800 metres because we see the time of that one and it is two to go

through, the two fastest losers to the final. We will have to wait and

see. Take a breath, Henderson does exactly that in preparation for his

final jump. It has been an enthralling position which saw Greg

Rutherford in the lead but then pushed down to fourth place as it

now stands. Just one jump remaining. We have seen Manyonga, the event

leader, with a foul. The order has reversed but it was reversed at the

halfway stage and he did his best jump after that. His event is over,

which means in some ways, he is a bit of a sitting duck because he has

no way of responding to anything else that others do. Jeff

Henderson's previous attempt was excellent, apart from the landing.

If he gets it right, I wouldn't be surprised if this man goes into the

lead. What is his Championship temperament like? We are about to

find out. The most important moment of his competitive career. Jeff

Henderson... Unusual preparation, scoffing that foot backwards and

forwards. Henderson in the bronze medal position. He has done it! Jeff

Henderson, the white flag is raised. There was no surprise, he teed it up

in Round 5. An acknowledgement from Manyonga. Rutherford is next up, he

could be lifted by this. It may be out of his reach because Henderson

has just jumped 8.38. He is in the lead. Unbelievable jump. That is one

of the best competitive efforts. We have seen it in the shot put and the

discus. Manyonga put down into second place but the Greg

Rutherford, it is not over yet because he has another jump. He

jumped 8.41 to take the world title, 8.31 to win four years ago, just to

give you the context of the distances and where we are at. It is

something Rutherford is capable of but he needs to produce the jump of

his life. No wind to talk of. What a moment this is. He has seen Mo Farah

take the gold in the 10,000 metres, his team-mate Jessica Ennis-Hill is

going to have to fight hard in the 800 metres, the final event of the

heptathlon, if she is to take gold. She's up against Nafi Thiam. But

back to this tense moment for Greg Rutherford. Support for the crowd.

Rutherford in fourth place. His best so far 8.2 to. -- 8.2 -- eight .22.

It is bang on it. Has he done it? It is a white flag! Greg Rutherford may

have just produced the jump of his life. Oh, my word, what is it? It is

8.29. It does take him into the medals. He is in third place.
