Day 9 BBC One: 18.30-22.00

:00:15. > :00:22.He is down in eighth. Great Britain's Max Whitlock is the floor

:00:23. > :00:30.Olympic champion. Diego Hypolito takes over in front of his home

:00:31. > :00:43.crowd with his team-mate in bronze. What a floor final. Max Whitlock has

:00:44. > :00:46.made history! You are witnessing history here for

:00:47. > :00:50.Brazil, and history for Great Britain.

:00:51. > :00:55.Diego Hypolito and Arthur Mariano take silver and bronze in front of

:00:56. > :00:58.this home crowd. But the Olympic champion is Max

:00:59. > :01:04.Whitlock. What a start to the finals. We were

:01:05. > :01:09.hoping to come today to see a gold medal on the pommel horse and even

:01:10. > :01:13.before we have started with a gold medal on the floor.

:01:14. > :01:18.Max is such a cool customer. He got the bronze in the all-around...

:01:19. > :01:23.Dan Keating is speechless here. I am lost for words.

:01:24. > :01:28.Unbelievable. I thought the chance we had got a gold medal would be in

:01:29. > :01:33.the pommel horse. What a gymnast, the Olympic champion

:01:34. > :01:38.on floor. All he could do was post his very

:01:39. > :01:42.best. He was third up in the competition and that is exactly what

:01:43. > :01:45.he did. He posted a score and said, beat that if you can and nobody

:01:46. > :01:53.could. They couldn't.

:01:54. > :01:58.What a moment. I am sure he was thinking of using this time to focus

:01:59. > :02:02.on pommel horse. Now he is celebrating being Olympic champion

:02:03. > :02:07.on floor. Floor is such a special piece, the

:02:08. > :02:10.one piece of Olympic agreement everybody knows and understands and

:02:11. > :02:14.can relate to. You said, Dan, that was his best

:02:15. > :02:18.performance since he has been here. The execution was the best I have

:02:19. > :02:23.seen for a long time. When Kenzo Shirai made a few

:02:24. > :02:26.mistakes, that is when the door really opened.

:02:27. > :02:33.He has done it. That will take the pressure from the horse, he is

:02:34. > :02:37.Olympic champion already. There was so much pressure on his

:02:38. > :02:42.shoulders, so much expectation. It was about whether or not Max and

:02:43. > :02:46.Lewis could make history on pommel horse. People were hoping he would

:02:47. > :02:53.sneak in with a medal. Nobody expected it to be a gold one.

:02:54. > :02:59.Confirmation that Max Whitlock is floor Olympic

:03:00. > :03:06.Kristian Thomas for Great Britain finishes in seventh.

:03:07. > :03:13.Now it is time to him to try and focus. The pommel horse final is in

:03:14. > :03:17.an hour. He has to receive his medal, that is how it works in these

:03:18. > :03:26.individual apparatus finals. He will get prepared, we will hear

:03:27. > :03:34.the national anthem, then he will warm up for the pommel horse.

:03:35. > :03:40.That starts at 7:30pm. We have our first Olympic champion in gymnastics

:03:41. > :03:45.across the board. Across history, across any time

:03:46. > :03:49.before, and emphatic, elegant performance from Max Whitlock. Still

:03:50. > :03:56.be pommel horse final to come where he was expected to excel and perhaps

:03:57. > :04:04.break the gymnastics records for Britain.

:04:05. > :04:05.It has flawed us but we're not complaining, a history maker in

:04:06. > :04:10.gymnastics. There could be a whole lot of

:04:11. > :04:15.goodies you this evening. I am so looking forward to this, you

:04:16. > :04:18.could hear the emotion of the commentary team for the gold medal

:04:19. > :04:24.ceremony. What an evening ahead. Andy Murray

:04:25. > :04:31.on that tennis court against Juan Martin Del Potro. Justin Rose in the

:04:32. > :04:36.golf ahead of Henrik Stenson. In the velodrome, a guaranteed gold

:04:37. > :04:40.and silver, Jason Kenny taking on Callum Skinner.

:04:41. > :04:45.We could get more from the gymnastics, Max Whitlock has done it

:04:46. > :04:49.on the floor, up against Louis Smith on the pommel horse, an even

:04:50. > :04:50.stronger routine for him. Could be one of the great British Olympic

:04:51. > :05:38.evenings of sport ever. Such a variety of sports and

:05:39. > :05:42.obviously the biggest name in global sport trying to win the 100 metres

:05:43. > :05:46.for a third successive Games. Let us catch our breath and recap

:05:47. > :06:00.what has happened so far. Max Whitlock has taken gold on the

:06:01. > :06:05.floor, a first ever medal of any colour for a British gymnast on the

:06:06. > :06:10.floor. It is history for Max Whitlock, the Olympic champion and

:06:11. > :06:14.still has the pommel horse to come. Over at the golf, Justin Rose and

:06:15. > :06:20.Henrik Stenson are locked in battle. Both 14 under par, rose Spade is

:06:21. > :06:28.turning shot to get him onto the green and save par.

:06:29. > :06:35.-- Rose played a stunning shot. Rajiv Ouseph, the British number

:06:36. > :06:48.one, beat Sho Sasaki, to finish the group stages with a 100% record.

:06:49. > :06:53.Jemima Sumgong has one women's marathon gold. Alyson Dixon was 28th

:06:54. > :06:59.for Great Britain. This is our plan. You need to be

:07:00. > :07:04.flexible because we want to catch as much light as we can.

:07:05. > :07:16.As much live as we can. We will be joined by the victorious

:07:17. > :07:19.swimmers, Britain's best ever swimming performance at an Olympic

:07:20. > :07:25.Games. And showing you the best of the

:07:26. > :07:34.golf. And the men's gold medal match in the tennis.

:07:35. > :07:42.Max Whitlock and Louis Smith in the pommel horse.

:07:43. > :07:46.Then the first of a best of three in the men's sprint final. Jason Kenny

:07:47. > :07:51.defending champion against Callum Skinner.

:07:52. > :07:56.Much later, the time to tune in for Usain Bolt defending his title in

:07:57. > :07:59.the 100 metres final, up against Justin Gatlin.

:08:00. > :08:03.Let as head straight back to the gymnastics and get more from Matt

:08:04. > :08:09.Baker. A historic day for British gymnastics.

:08:10. > :08:17.We did not expect it to happen on the floor. Max Whitlock has two

:08:18. > :08:23.finals, the first was the floor where we knew he had a chance, we

:08:24. > :08:31.thought he may be able to sneak a bronze. But he has become Olympic

:08:32. > :08:35.champion on floor. We were in the commentary box, and

:08:36. > :08:41.you said you had no one to celebrate with, what a routine.

:08:42. > :08:46.He did fantastically, it helped him being up so early in the ranking. He

:08:47. > :08:52.was unable to sit and watch. He looked more nervous waiting for a

:08:53. > :08:54.score that he did first going up to do his routine.

:08:55. > :09:00.We said he threaded his way through this routine. It is so graceful,

:09:01. > :09:02.elegant, the way he flies. It was the best routine I have seen

:09:03. > :09:13.him do. If if you look at all his landings,

:09:14. > :09:17.there was more than a very small deduction.

:09:18. > :09:22.We knew if he landed his tumbles as best he could there would be chance,

:09:23. > :09:30.a chance for a bronze. He is now the Olympic champion.

:09:31. > :09:32.No one can quite believe this. Put it in perspective, this is a

:09:33. > :09:37.surprise. It totally is. We were hoping for a

:09:38. > :09:42.sneaky bronze. Literally, he went clean and the

:09:43. > :09:46.others faulted. As soon as Kenzo Shirai did all

:09:47. > :09:54.business date. I was testing my mum saying mats will win this.

:09:55. > :09:59.-- did all those mistakes. This is down to the hours of

:10:00. > :10:03.training with his coach, Scott. None of us can put into words how

:10:04. > :10:08.much this means for the whole of our sport.

:10:09. > :10:15.To win an Olympic medal is huge. To be Olympic champion, it's deftly

:10:16. > :10:18.takes the pressure from the pommel horse.

:10:19. > :10:24.He could with the pommel as well. We watched earlier Max Whitlock come

:10:25. > :10:27.into this arena and practice, waiting to go up on the pommel

:10:28. > :10:32.horse. They practise every single

:10:33. > :10:36.eventuality. His coach, Scott, I don't know if he

:10:37. > :10:40.would have imagined, or they practised the routine of what

:10:41. > :10:44.happens when you become Olympic champion on floor first!

:10:45. > :10:50.You can't practice that. The hard thing now for him is to calm down

:10:51. > :10:55.and focus. He is Olympic champion. It might

:10:56. > :10:57.work in his favour. The pressure is now off him.

:10:58. > :11:01.He is an Olympic champ and already so he can have fun.

:11:02. > :11:05.We have had the pleasure of witnessing this kind of gin that

:11:06. > :11:08.Brazilian gymnasts in the finals as well.

:11:09. > :11:14.The roof almost comes off whenever they walk up to the apparatus.

:11:15. > :11:20.Goodness me, I don't want to call him an old gymnasts, but he is 30,

:11:21. > :11:24.Hypolito. He has had so much success on the world stage, never successful

:11:25. > :11:32.at the Olympics. Now he gets is all the medal in this arena.

:11:33. > :11:34.Unbelievable scenes. Watching those three gymnasts waiting for each

:11:35. > :11:39.score. There was such a celebration. All

:11:40. > :11:43.three of them were maybe hoping for a bronze, none of them expected to

:11:44. > :11:50.come out in that order, let alone two Brazilians on the podium. Such a

:11:51. > :11:58.nice sleep on the podium, calling their coaches up. There is so much

:11:59. > :12:03.support staff around each gymnast. Diego first came on the scene in

:12:04. > :12:09.2003 with a wild medal. He has been there or thereabouts. In front of a

:12:10. > :12:14.home crowd is special. Arthur Mariano, I remember him at

:12:15. > :12:17.the grand prix in Glasgow. Everyone said, goodness, this guy has some

:12:18. > :12:21.moves. He has refined it and worked

:12:22. > :12:25.alongside that difficulty with his execution. He then came out and

:12:26. > :12:31.surprised us with the moves in that routine.

:12:32. > :12:37.His difficulty school was much harder. He had nothing to lose. In

:12:38. > :12:40.my own country, I want to get on the medal board.

:12:41. > :12:44.Unbelievable he managed to up his difficulty and stick all his

:12:45. > :12:50.landings which is why he came third. To remind you the men's pommel horse

:12:51. > :12:55.final will start at 7:30pm, after Max Whitlock tries to recompose

:12:56. > :13:00.himself and take all that energy forward into pommel horse. Let us

:13:01. > :13:05.just hope he can do what he is capable of doing here in the gym.

:13:06. > :13:09.That is the thing with gymnastics at that level. All you hope to do is be

:13:10. > :13:18.able to produce income petition what you can do in the training gym. --

:13:19. > :13:28.produce in competition. You can do a lot in training but get

:13:29. > :13:34.to competition, you can't account for the pressure. To perform as well

:13:35. > :13:39.as Max has done so far, it is incredible and shows how good a

:13:40. > :13:43.gymnast he is. All the hours put into the training

:13:44. > :13:48.have been worth it for these three gentlemen here.

:13:49. > :13:55.Arthur Mariano. 22 years old. Max Whitlock is 23.

:13:56. > :14:01.Add Diego Hypolito, you can see what it means to him.

:14:02. > :14:04.I don't think he has stopped crying since the result came through.

:14:05. > :14:10.It just means that much to him. The whole family are involved in

:14:11. > :14:24.gymnastics, his sister on the women's side.

:14:25. > :14:33.Let's just enjoy the medal ceremony of the men's Olympic floor final.

:14:34. > :14:45.The first gymnast up onto this floor podium will be Diego Hypolito.

:14:46. > :14:54.I know that Max's family are here, his mum, his dad and his brother.

:14:55. > :14:58.Everybody is on tenterhooks for that pommel horse final. They were hoping

:14:59. > :15:02.that Max would just be able to go and enjoy herself in the floor

:15:03. > :15:07.final, blow off a bit of steam as far as the excitement was concerned.

:15:08. > :15:23.-- enjoy himself. Now to have this as a result!

:15:24. > :15:31.Well, Beth, we talked about history being made here today. We hoped it

:15:32. > :15:35.would happen in the floor final, in the pommel horse final. But here we

:15:36. > :15:40.are in the men's Olympic floor final with Great Britain's Max Whitlock

:15:41. > :15:45.taking gold. But first, the bronze medallist for Brazil. Up onto the

:15:46. > :16:03.podium, it Arthur Mariano. His only apparatus final. He just

:16:04. > :16:19.cannot wait to get that medal around his neck. It's yours, enjoy it!

:16:20. > :16:55.He's heard his name. He passes on all of his congratulations to his

:16:56. > :16:58.team-mate. Look at that, that is what it means to get an Olympic

:16:59. > :17:26.medal in front of your home crowd. And it's not just all of those in

:17:27. > :17:30.Brazil who are delighted for him. The world gymnastics is delighted

:17:31. > :17:34.for him because he's one of those that just puts the effort in year

:17:35. > :17:39.after year after year, and deserves everything that he's achieved here

:17:40. > :18:06.today. Olympic silver for Diego Hypolito.

:18:07. > :18:19.Max Whitlock will up onto the podium as Great Britain's first Olympic

:18:20. > :18:37.champion in gymnastics. And there he goes! Victorious in Rio.

:18:38. > :18:49.Great Britain's Max Whitlock is floor Olympic champion. He takes the

:18:50. > :18:56.gold in front of a very, very strong field. He beat the double World

:18:57. > :19:02.Champion, the former world champions. They were all here. And

:19:03. > :19:04.he reigned supreme. It's gold for Max Whitlock in the men's Olympic

:19:05. > :20:07.floor final. it's gold for Great Britain and Max

:20:08. > :20:14.Whitlock. Brazil take silver and bronze.

:20:15. > :20:23.And now it is very much time for Max Whitlock to try, if you can, and

:20:24. > :20:30.refocus. In 40 minutes time he will be back here at the Rio Olympic

:20:31. > :20:36.Arena to try and get his hands on another gold. He will be up against

:20:37. > :20:40.Great Britain's Louis Smith. There are some strong competitors in that

:20:41. > :20:48.field as well. But, please, please join us, if you can. In just 40

:20:49. > :20:55.minutes time where we will hopefully witness even more greatness.

:20:56. > :21:01.STUDIO: Max Whitlock will go into that pommel horse final against his

:21:02. > :21:05.team-mate Louis Smith, and perhaps another gold medal. What a wonderful

:21:06. > :21:10.time for British gymnastics this is. That gives Great Britain and 11th

:21:11. > :21:15.gold medal of these games. Third place in the medal table, lying

:21:16. > :21:21.along. Out in front of the USA, by quite a long way from China. China

:21:22. > :21:25.has got 13 gold medals. Great Britain have got 11 with a

:21:26. > :21:28.guaranteed golds to come from recycling and the potential of goals

:21:29. > :21:36.from tennis and gymnastics and failing. And what about the golf?

:21:37. > :21:40.Justin Rose has a birdie putt on the 15. He is level with Henrik Stenson.

:21:41. > :21:57.This could taking into the lead with three to play the golf. And he has

:21:58. > :21:59.holed it. Justin Rose have a 1-shot advantage over Henrik Stenson. Let's

:22:00. > :22:04.get the latest on the sailing because there have been very light

:22:05. > :22:08.winds today. The sailing has been slightly delayed, but hopefully

:22:09. > :22:12.Shirley Robinson, it will reach its conclusion. For Nick Dempsey that

:22:13. > :22:16.will mean a medal. You might even just the him do it. He is about to

:22:17. > :22:21.cross the finish line within a few moments. This is the man who won

:22:22. > :22:27.gold in 2016 and went gold in London 2012. The Dutchman, Dorian van

:22:28. > :22:31.Rijsselberghe. But today didn't really matter, he had already

:22:32. > :22:36.secured gold and Britain's Nick Dempsey had secured silver. They

:22:37. > :22:40.were so far ahead of the rest of the fleet that they didn't actually have

:22:41. > :22:47.two race today. This is a perfect backdrop for a lap of honour. What a

:22:48. > :22:53.day it has been! Surely, what about later, will we see Giles Scott?

:22:54. > :22:57.Giles Scott is out racing in the ocean. He's such an incredible

:22:58. > :23:01.talent. He could well so up the gold medal later today without even

:23:02. > :23:05.having to do a medal race. I'm keeping half an eye out on the

:23:06. > :23:10.ocean. Once we have seen Nick celebrate his silver medal I'm going

:23:11. > :23:14.out there to bring you all the news. Thank you, I know you will keep us

:23:15. > :23:19.up to date. Puts on some factor on because it's really hot today!

:23:20. > :23:24.Scorching weather for the gold medal match in the tennis. Since tennis

:23:25. > :23:29.was reintroduced to the Olympics in 1988 big names have included Andre

:23:30. > :23:34.Agassi and Rafael Nadal. Andy Murray comes here hoping to be the first

:23:35. > :23:38.man ever to win back-to-back medals in tennis. After he carried the flag

:23:39. > :23:39.at the Opening Ceremony for Team GB he told Dan Walker how much the

:23:40. > :23:55.Olympics has meant to him. For you, personally, the Olympics is

:23:56. > :23:59.such an important part of your story. Winning that gold medal set

:24:00. > :24:04.you up to achieve so many great things in the sport. And also

:24:05. > :24:09.Beijing as well was huge for me, too. I had an amazing experience

:24:10. > :24:13.over there. I learned so much from losing in the first round. That hurt

:24:14. > :24:18.me a lot. I was absolutely gutted and I had to wait four years to get

:24:19. > :24:26.another chance. I lost in the Wimbledon final in 2012.

:24:27. > :24:34.I'm going to try this, and it's not going to be easy!

:24:35. > :24:39.I said to myself after that but I may never win a grand slam. I had

:24:40. > :24:44.lost in four finals. I was working as hard as I could work, getting

:24:45. > :24:49.close but it was never quite enough. I didn't know if I was ever going to

:24:50. > :24:53.win one. I think when I accepted that, that helped me. In terms of

:24:54. > :24:58.the tears after that match, I was very emotional, clearly. But that

:24:59. > :25:01.happens quite a lot. Normally you're doing it in the locker room. It

:25:02. > :25:09.doesn't happen when you have to speak. You can blame Sue Barker, if

:25:10. > :25:12.you like! The Olympics was starting three weeks later. It would have

:25:13. > :25:16.been easy to be down but I remembered what happened in Beijing.

:25:17. > :25:20.I got back on the practice court a few weeks after the Wimbledon final.

:25:21. > :25:25.I thought that I wanted to try to win this event, the biggest sporting

:25:26. > :25:27.competition by far. I have played at Wimbledon Centre Court many times.

:25:28. > :25:32.The crowd that day was totally different. I have never experienced

:25:33. > :25:37.that. Roger Federer is extremely popular at Wimbledon. The crowd was

:25:38. > :25:42.amazing and gave me a huge, huge lift a bad day. I don't know if

:25:43. > :25:45.there was anything that could really top but having competed and won a

:25:46. > :25:52.gold medal at a home Olympics. Getting to carry the flag for the

:25:53. > :25:58.country here was pretty close. What have you made of the Brazilian

:25:59. > :26:01.experience so far? I've enjoyed it. The tennis venue is great. The

:26:02. > :26:04.village is good fun as well. I'm sharing a room with my brother,

:26:05. > :26:10.which I haven't done for about 15 years. It's two single beds which is

:26:11. > :26:15.nice because it's totally different to what we're used to as tennis

:26:16. > :26:19.players. We're always pretty selfish and doing stuff on our own. Whereas

:26:20. > :26:23.here you're part of something much bigger, you're part of the British

:26:24. > :26:28.team. It's nice, I enjoy that. We got little bikes and we've been

:26:29. > :26:32.cycling around with each other, racing each other round the village

:26:33. > :26:37.being who can do the best gigs on the bikes. It's just nice. Some of

:26:38. > :26:40.the big boys and here but there are plenty of big names to keep the

:26:41. > :26:45.tennis fans in Brazil entertained. It's unfortunate that Roger Federer

:26:46. > :26:49.and Stan Wawrinka were both injured. If they were here, all of the

:26:50. > :26:52.players who have won grand slams in the last ten years would be

:26:53. > :27:00.competing here. But a lot of the top players are here and I will try my

:27:01. > :27:04.best to have a good run. Our tennis correspondent joins me

:27:05. > :27:08.now, you will be commentating on this. Andy Murray had a couple of

:27:09. > :27:12.scares early on against Fognini and Johnson, but he looked convincing

:27:13. > :27:15.against Nishikori. Nice to get a straightforward match under his belt

:27:16. > :27:19.in the semis because this is where they switch from the best-of-3 sets

:27:20. > :27:23.to the best of five sets in the way that we see regularly at Wimbledon

:27:24. > :27:27.and other grand slams. He did have a couple of big scares before that. He

:27:28. > :27:33.played like a dream against Fabio Fognini of Italy. He lost his rhythm

:27:34. > :27:37.in the blustery wind, found himself 3-0 down in the decider and had to

:27:38. > :27:43.come back from that decision. He won six games in a row, very Andy

:27:44. > :27:46.Murray. And against Johnson he was in complete control until Johnson

:27:47. > :27:49.worked his way back into the match. Andy Murray recovers from a

:27:50. > :27:54.breakdown and had to win a tie-break. I can't ever remember

:27:55. > :27:57.seeing him so tense in any match, grand slam Davis Cup, which gives

:27:58. > :28:02.you an idea of what this means to him. Come the final against

:28:03. > :28:10.Nishikori, he looked much happier and smoother and more in control. I

:28:11. > :28:14.think when the chips are on the line, Andy Murray tends to rise to

:28:15. > :28:18.the occasion even more. He had a very good record against Kei

:28:19. > :28:22.Nishikori and still does. There was absolutely no way he was going to

:28:23. > :28:27.relinquish that chance knowing that he was one match away from another

:28:28. > :28:32.gold medal match. No tennis player, male or female, has ever won singles

:28:33. > :28:36.titles at the Olympics back-to-back. It's going to be a fabulous final

:28:37. > :28:40.because he's up against Juan Martin del Potro who really is the comeback

:28:41. > :28:45.king of 2016. He was such a promising talent when he won the US

:28:46. > :28:50.open in 2009. After that, just one injury after another. He is one of

:28:51. > :28:55.the best players you can possibly watch. He had beforehand which must

:28:56. > :28:59.be utterly terrifying if you're an opponent. It's a miracle scorch

:29:00. > :29:03.marks left on the court when he hits it. He has been so unlucky with

:29:04. > :29:08.injury. A few months after winning the US Open he had to have surgery

:29:09. > :29:13.on his right wrist and he missed at least a year from the tour. He

:29:14. > :29:17.slowly worked his way back to playing an amazing Wimbledon against

:29:18. > :29:22.Novak Djokovic. Then the left wrist packed up. Three surgeries in the

:29:23. > :29:26.last 2.5 years. This year he has worked his way back cautiously. He

:29:27. > :29:31.has had good results, he beat Stan Wawrinka at Wimbledon. But this is

:29:32. > :29:34.beyond his wildest expectation. He is the baddie today in an Olympic

:29:35. > :29:41.sense but there is so much goodwill for him as well. This is him beating

:29:42. > :29:43.Rafael Nadal. There was so much Argentinian support. You can see

:29:44. > :29:50.from these pictures that it really matters. He kisses the logo,

:29:51. > :29:54.eventually, in celebration. That was a very, very long match. That was

:29:55. > :29:59.the disadvantage in that he had played an eight hour three minutes

:30:00. > :30:03.match against Rafael Nadal. Andy Murray had a relatively light

:30:04. > :30:05.work-out against Kei Nishikori. Because of these injury problems

:30:06. > :30:11.he's not actually played a full five set match is the Australian open

:30:12. > :30:14.2014. That just gives you an idea of what's tennis means to the

:30:15. > :30:20.overwhelming majority of players in the world. Especially to somebody

:30:21. > :30:23.like Del Potro, so proud to represent his country. He is just in

:30:24. > :30:28.dreamland after the most horrendous run that I'd been explaining. He

:30:29. > :30:32.could have been a member of the big five, maybe even the big two or

:30:33. > :30:36.three. The best years of his career have been snatched away from him. It

:30:37. > :30:40.will be sensational. You are heading over to our centre court at the

:30:41. > :30:44.Olympics. Thanks for joining us, you can see quite a crowd gathering

:30:45. > :30:49.because we have some of our brilliant swimmers. First, let me

:30:50. > :30:54.show you Nick Dempsey crossing the line in the windsurfing.

:30:55. > :31:07.Here he is, finishing off. Nick Dempsey has done a terrific job out

:31:08. > :31:13.there. And he becomes Britain's first time three time medal winner

:31:14. > :31:18.in history. Successive silvers for him. We will talk to these men and

:31:19. > :31:23.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor is here, after we flecked on Britain's best

:31:24. > :31:29.performance at an Olympic Games since 1908 -- we reflect.

:31:30. > :31:36.COMMENTATOR: Here he is, Great Britain's Adam Peaty. Good start

:31:37. > :31:43.from PT, a good reaction to the gun. Big turn underwater, he is streaking

:31:44. > :31:48.away. Oceans of clear blue water between Adam Peaty and the rest of

:31:49. > :31:54.the world. Taking gold by streets. He has obliterated the world record.

:31:55. > :32:05.Perfect for me, that carried me through. Jazz Carlin is in medal

:32:06. > :32:09.position. Wonderful Silver Medal for Great Britain. I honestly can't

:32:10. > :32:14.believe it, I'm on the edge of tears. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor from

:32:15. > :32:19.Britain. Brilliant swim here from O'Connor. She isn't giving up at

:32:20. > :32:26.all. Silver, Great Britain. It is silver, for Siobhan-Marie O'Connor.

:32:27. > :32:35.Great Britain, this is a very important leg. Can they catch up for

:32:36. > :32:46.the Silver Medal? Well done. Silver, or Jazz Carlin. Well done, Jazz.

:32:47. > :32:51.USA, one, Great Britain, two. Extraordinary. Great Britain winning

:32:52. > :33:00.the silver. Six medals, five silvers and won the gold. Well, here is the

:33:01. > :33:07.man who Bond Great Britain's first Olympic gold medal since 1988. Adam

:33:08. > :33:11.Peaty. A gold and a silver. Could it have been better, it has been

:33:12. > :33:15.sensational? Coming to my first Olympic Games, I wanted to use the

:33:16. > :33:21.crowd, everything that makes Great Britain great, putting on this

:33:22. > :33:26.T-shirt is an honour for me. I never carried so much pride into the

:33:27. > :33:31.final. You can't top it off. Winning in a world record time, that takes

:33:32. > :33:35.some doing. A lot of people doubted that I could do it in the final. My

:33:36. > :33:40.first Olympic Games, the odds are not very high, but I just went out

:33:41. > :33:46.and did it. I knew I was capable. I wasn't scared of who was next to me,

:33:47. > :33:53.a previous Olympic champion. I just enjoyed it, really. You have so much

:33:54. > :33:59.speed, how do you do this? Looking at it, I don't know. I put a lot of

:34:00. > :34:04.hard work in. That is down to me and Mel, a very unique bond. We are

:34:05. > :34:09.continuing to chase excellence now and push the records even further.

:34:10. > :34:13.The backing of Mel Marshall is crucial to you but you've obviously

:34:14. > :34:18.had a lot of family members, your Nan, Mavis has become a star at

:34:19. > :34:22.home. Yes, more of a star than me. She got so many followers on

:34:23. > :34:28.Twitter. Great to have that kind of support. She is out there, rooting

:34:29. > :34:32.for Team GB and she is really the Olympic Nan, she loves it. Must have

:34:33. > :34:37.given you the hunger for so much more. This is just the start,

:34:38. > :34:43.really. With these boys hopefully we can do something special in Tokyo.

:34:44. > :34:46.The Silver Medal from the Medley, you were part of that as well,

:34:47. > :34:52.James. You have met Michael Phelps so many times -- how many times?

:34:53. > :34:57.Three times. Great racing and I've learned a lot of things. What is he

:34:58. > :35:03.like behind-the-scenes? We saw some great shots from the ready room. The

:35:04. > :35:08.greatest of all time. Obviously doing something right, what he's

:35:09. > :35:13.doing. The hundred metre butterfly. I like the fact that you know you

:35:14. > :35:17.are in shot. I thought I would photo bomb him. It was a great honour to

:35:18. > :35:22.race against him and to be here. When you are in the medal ceremony,

:35:23. > :35:29.does he chat? We saw you shaking hands. Is he friendly? He's like a

:35:30. > :35:34.normal guy. Talking before and after the race. He was asking about Adam

:35:35. > :35:39.and myself, how we are doing. He's a great guy and it was an honour to

:35:40. > :35:42.race him. What will you remember about these Games, how would you

:35:43. > :35:47.assess your performance and what you achieved? The first few days was

:35:48. > :35:54.very tough, I was in a bit of a hole. After the 400 aid. I moved on

:35:55. > :36:00.and each time I got faster and faster and I turned it around -- 400

:36:01. > :36:07.heat. It turned into a PB and then a medal. Couldn't ask for a better

:36:08. > :36:12.week. Two medals, I would have taken that, over the moon, very happy.

:36:13. > :36:16.Chris Walker-Hebborn on, a crucial part of the Medley team. How would

:36:17. > :36:21.you sum up the bond between the British swimmers? Pretty impressive,

:36:22. > :36:25.I've been swimming with them for a few years now. I'm getting on a bit

:36:26. > :36:29.but being part of the team is amazing. Being part of the relay,

:36:30. > :36:33.that was a huge prospect for me, more than the single. To come away

:36:34. > :36:37.with the Silver Medal, our best swimming Olympics in 100 years,

:36:38. > :36:42.pretty special. And the young talent coming through. Definitely, I don't

:36:43. > :36:47.consider myself young any more, but having these guys at my book is

:36:48. > :36:52.pretty good, Adam Peaty is phenomenal and having these guys as

:36:53. > :36:57.well, pretty special. Talking of the young talent, Duncan: I think you

:36:58. > :37:05.are the youngest? Boettcher more years, Chris. This is Duncan Scott.

:37:06. > :37:08.-- four more years. It is a young team. What about the young kids who

:37:09. > :37:13.are watching, thinking whether swimming would be a fun sport to be

:37:14. > :37:17.involved in. I know that the training is hard but what is it like

:37:18. > :37:25.with the medals? Not a sport to do if you're in it for the money. Go

:37:26. > :37:32.for football or Dolph? When it goes down to the head-to-head, it is a

:37:33. > :37:36.great sport -- golf. You saw the racing, all of them were close apart

:37:37. > :37:39.from Adam Peaty's. It is head-to-head stuff. What are you

:37:40. > :37:46.going to take away as a special memory? One of them is just getting

:37:47. > :37:53.the kit, unbelievable amount of kit and you think, what's going on here?

:37:54. > :37:57.First steps into the village, great experience, coming with the full

:37:58. > :38:01.summing team, that was an honour. Just being able to swim at the

:38:02. > :38:05.Olympic Games, something special. Are you going to make sure that you

:38:06. > :38:10.see other if it is now? Definitely, looking forward to seeing Andy

:38:11. > :38:13.Murray against Del Potro. Fantastic Mawhinney lout support for Andy

:38:14. > :38:18.Murray because there is quite a lot of support for Del Potro. Yeah,

:38:19. > :38:22.looking forward to it. Going over here to talk to Siobhan-Marie

:38:23. > :38:28.O'Connor. Going home with a Silver Medal. Congratulations in the 200

:38:29. > :38:33.IM. A tough competition but are you happy? Really happy, I dream of an

:38:34. > :38:38.Olympic medal ever since I started swimming, so I'm really pleased. So

:38:39. > :38:42.good to be part of the team, we have done so well, I am so proud. You

:38:43. > :38:47.have had a tough personal struggle. Tell me how much Steve Redgrave has

:38:48. > :38:53.mattered to you in turning things around. Such an inspiration. He has

:38:54. > :39:01.battled the same thing that I have, a tummy problem. Talking to him, he

:39:02. > :39:04.gave up some time to talk to me last year -- so much time. It was amazing

:39:05. > :39:08.because it meant I was more confident about it. He's an

:39:09. > :39:15.inspiration and such a great athlete. He really inspired me. It

:39:16. > :39:20.is a chronic bowel problem, is it? Yes, it is a form of colitis, quite

:39:21. > :39:25.a common thing but not many people are aware of it. It is pretty tough

:39:26. > :39:29.but so many athletes have things to deal with, whether it is an ongoing

:39:30. > :39:35.injury, something like that, and that is what I have to deal with. I

:39:36. > :39:40.have a great team who helped me, I am very healthy and I'm in a great

:39:41. > :39:42.place. It is thanks to them, really. Interesting because Steve regret

:39:43. > :39:49.talking to you, I think some people will hear you and think that if you

:39:50. > :39:54.can handle it, maybe they can too. If that happens that's amazing, that

:39:55. > :40:00.is what I dream of, to be on the platform to show people that yeah,

:40:01. > :40:05.you can do it. It is tough. Sport is tough. You've got to give it your

:40:06. > :40:09.best. Yeah I'm really happy that I've been able to get to this

:40:10. > :40:15.position. A dream come true. It has been fabulous. Dan White is next to

:40:16. > :40:18.you, how much we action from the other athletes and the British team?

:40:19. > :40:25.They've been really supportive of us. We are the first, we can almost

:40:26. > :40:30.set the pace and we've done a pretty good job. We are all connected and

:40:31. > :40:35.we are familiar faces. It is great to have the other sports backing us

:40:36. > :40:40.and spectators at our events. Have you enjoyed it? Yeah, amazing,

:40:41. > :40:43.everything I could have creamed off, becoming an Olympian and saying you

:40:44. > :40:50.competed is a pretty cool thing to do. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor for you,

:40:51. > :40:55.are you now thinking about the next four year cycle to Tokyo or will you

:40:56. > :40:59.take a break? I will definitely take a break. It was pretty surreal

:41:00. > :41:04.yesterday, the final session of swimming. We've worked every day for

:41:05. > :41:08.four years for this, it was good to see the hard work paid off but I

:41:09. > :41:12.think we all deserve a break, time to relax and unwind and celebrate

:41:13. > :41:18.with friends and family but after that, I'm so excited for the next

:41:19. > :41:22.four years. Such a strong place as they team and such a young team,

:41:23. > :41:30.exciting for the future. Bring on Tokyo, really. Is that Stephen who I

:41:31. > :41:38.haven't spoke to? Stephen Milne, you were part of the relay, the 4x200

:41:39. > :41:41.freestyle relay. We have had cracking relays, America are always

:41:42. > :41:46.very strong. Do you think that the British line-ups have the belief

:41:47. > :41:50.that they can beat anybody? We are pretty strong, there is a lot of

:41:51. > :41:56.depth in British swimming. It is great that we have the range, for

:41:57. > :41:59.the small nation we have. I think we are a real contender now for getting

:42:00. > :42:04.up there and heading for the gold medal. You've had a great time,

:42:05. > :42:09.haven't you? The best time of my life, really. I really believe that.

:42:10. > :42:13.To be with these guys as well, enjoying the experience with them

:42:14. > :42:16.has been a pleasure. Such a strong bond between them, the most

:42:17. > :42:22.successful British swimming team since 1908, six medals, one gold and

:42:23. > :42:26.five of them sold. Congratulations. I know that Justin Rose came over

:42:27. > :42:31.one night to support you, so you will want to know what he's getting

:42:32. > :42:35.up to. He had a 1-shot lead with three holes to play. I think this is

:42:36. > :42:42.going to be a birdie putt on the 16th. I'm not quite sure what

:42:43. > :42:45.Stenson has done. But bearing in mind that Stenson is also on the

:42:46. > :42:52.green waiting to play. But this potentially could take Rose two

:42:53. > :42:58.ahead... It just shaves the hole. One shot clear of Henrik Stenson.

:42:59. > :43:04.And this is Stenson's birdie putt. Much shorter, this looks like three

:43:05. > :43:10.feet. They will have two to play. Can Stenson do it again? They can.

:43:11. > :43:19.Locked in battle, Stenson and Rose. Let's just check that Rose can hole

:43:20. > :43:26.his par putt. They are 15-under. Stenson has completed the 16th. This

:43:27. > :43:29.is Justin Rose's par putt. He's taking his time with this, even

:43:30. > :43:34.though it only looks like tap in range. He's taking his time, he

:43:35. > :43:41.doesn't want to do and Ernie Els, it is now known. Justin Rose, for par,

:43:42. > :43:49.to keep himself level with Henrik Stenson.

:43:50. > :44:02.And in it goes. The par is to come. And we will see the Taoiseach on 17

:44:03. > :44:11.-- the par-3 17th is to come. This is the par-3 -- the tee shot. Justin

:44:12. > :44:15.Rose. A hole-in-one on one of the par-3s on the first day. That is on

:44:16. > :44:20.the edge, the back of the green, so a very long birdie putt, but

:44:21. > :44:24.hopefully down in the two. We will be joining the golf in a moment. The

:44:25. > :44:29.swimmers are getting themselves lined up for a photo that I hope

:44:30. > :44:32.will be framed and taken back to them. Leon Taylor, you are pleased

:44:33. > :44:39.with them but you are watching the diving. You have Grace Reid later.

:44:40. > :44:44.The first finalist since 1972, 20 years old, first Olympic Games, all

:44:45. > :44:48.to play for. Update us on the side of the pool because it is green, and

:44:49. > :44:53.also what was being used for the preliminary matches of the water

:44:54. > :44:57.polo, the big pool is due to be used for synchronised swimming which has

:44:58. > :44:59.also turned green, which isn't good for them and the judges who need to

:45:00. > :45:10.be able to see them. The swimming pool needs to be

:45:11. > :45:14.cleared. Diving is fine, the divers are happy and the water is safe from

:45:15. > :45:18.a chemical point of view, but for the synchronised swimming, they have

:45:19. > :45:23.had to take the water out and fill it from the training pool and that

:45:24. > :45:28.process has gone on overnight. I will look forward to seeing what has

:45:29. > :45:36.gone on. What about Grace? She has made the final. Everybody starts

:45:37. > :45:41.from zero and if she can be consistent, up another gear, she

:45:42. > :45:45.could be in the top eight. The first final since 1972, you cannot ask

:45:46. > :45:56.more than that. We have a gold medal from the diving and also a medal for

:45:57. > :46:02.Goodfellow and Tom Daley. Leon, I will let you go because we are

:46:03. > :46:07.heading to the golf and picking up the action live. Henrik Stenson and

:46:08. > :46:12.Justin Rose are tied for the lead. Coming up to the 17th and we are

:46:13. > :46:19.going to join commentary. It is coming from our hosts, the Olympic

:46:20. > :46:35.broadcaster services. We are staying with golf until its conclusion.

:46:36. > :46:42.COMMENTATOR: The birdies have come from the bunker. A couple on the

:46:43. > :46:51.green, but not too many. Justin Rose is just off the green. He and Henrik

:46:52. > :47:00.Stenson doctor at 15 under par. Opting to keep the flag in. He can

:47:01. > :47:13.take it out -- they are not -- locked at 15 under.

:47:14. > :47:59.It started to move. A double swing, left then right. That is a safe par.

:48:00. > :48:10.What an enormous putt. From one of the biggest hitters in the world

:48:11. > :48:16.game. Henrik Stenson will have to have the touch of a surgeon on the

:48:17. > :48:29.17th. He has a chance to go ahead of Justin Rose with this putt. Both at

:48:30. > :48:34.15 under par. Justin Rose's heart will be pounding, Henrik Stenson's

:48:35. > :48:41.heart will be pounding. Everybody's heart will be pounding. They are,

:48:42. > :48:57.fingernails have gone. Maybe 15, 16 feet. A birdie putt. This is to get

:48:58. > :49:11.to 16 under to take the lead. No. It looked like he dragged it. It has

:49:12. > :49:24.got a tail. Right through the break for Henrik Stenson.

:49:25. > :49:32.It will be Marcus Fraser first, just to break the tension between these

:49:33. > :49:40.two. To think that he started in contention, just a couple of shots

:49:41. > :49:49.back, three back from Justin Rose. He has seen his round dilute in

:49:50. > :50:05.attack. Eight under, he is. He needs this to at eight under.

:50:06. > :50:15.It was a good-looking putt will stop look how far past the hole it has

:50:16. > :50:46.gone. Dokey putt. -- bogey. That is a four

:50:47. > :50:56.for Marcus Fraser and he drops back to 7-under par. It is a tied for

:50:57. > :51:05.seventh with Bubba Watson. And Emiliano Grillo. And Sergio Garcia.

:51:06. > :51:18.You would have to be that Justin Rose's putt will just be a tap-in

:51:19. > :51:49.for his par. That was fast, his first putt.

:51:50. > :52:02.Par putt for Henrik Stenson. Left edge but it is a par. Rose should

:52:03. > :52:40.tap this in. Easy for Justin Rose. It is going to

:52:41. > :52:49.go down to the wire. All square at 15-under going down the final hole.

:52:50. > :53:03.This is what we wanted to see. Championship golf at its best.

:53:04. > :53:13.Barring complete and utter blow outs, Great Britain and Sweden have

:53:14. > :53:21.medals guaranteed. It would be the most unlikely if one of them failed

:53:22. > :53:28.to get up to the green in at least three.

:53:29. > :53:34.What colour will the battle be? Justin Rose of Great Britain, Henrik

:53:35. > :53:41.Stenson of Sweden and Matt Kutcher in the clubhouse on 13-under for the

:53:42. > :54:01.USA after a magnificent record equalling 8-under par 63 to close.

:54:02. > :55:06.Henrik Stenson to go first. The Open champion from Royal Troon. And he

:55:07. > :55:10.has got a driver. He has taken driver for only the third time in

:55:11. > :55:16.this final round. Stenson at 15-under locked with Justin Rose of

:55:17. > :55:26.Great Britain. He sent it out right and he needs it

:55:27. > :55:30.to draw and it is not. He is all right, but that is the furthest

:55:31. > :55:37.right he has been on this 18th. That lengthens the second shot, it makes

:55:38. > :55:46.it very difficult. Justin Rose might fancy going in two. You think of how

:55:47. > :55:52.much history between these two. They play as partners in the Ryder Cup,

:55:53. > :55:54.they were neighbours in Florida. They know each other so well. Justin

:55:55. > :56:14.Rose now. Unbelievable. Break the tension with

:56:15. > :56:20.a cellphone. Mobile phones... All-around the course. So many

:56:21. > :56:32.reminders to put them on silent and put them away while the players are

:56:33. > :56:39.on the tee. A reset for Justin Rose. Henrik Stenson has gone right.

:56:40. > :56:44.Justin Rose at 18. Will this be the last hole? Will there be a play-off?

:56:45. > :56:54.He has gone right but he is straighter. Not by much. Not by

:56:55. > :56:59.much! There is tension here at the Olympic golf course. Great Britain

:57:00. > :57:04.and Sweden fight it out for the Olympic gold medal in the golf event

:57:05. > :57:14.that has returned to the Olympic Games after an absence of 112 years.

:57:15. > :57:23.Marcus Fraser, who started this individual stroke play with a 63 on

:57:24. > :57:28.Thursday, back at 7-under. They have all gone right. That is probably the

:57:29. > :57:49.widest of the three. No, don't pick it up! That is the

:57:50. > :57:53.second time today. Stenson is the only player in the grouping that has

:57:54. > :57:58.not had his ball touched by a member of the gallery today. Using the

:57:59. > :58:04.driver. He had on the spot physiotherapy for his back. Look at

:58:05. > :58:11.the turn in that back, the hips, and the drive with the legs. He is so

:58:12. > :58:15.powerful. A wonderful finish. He did not get the draw he hoped for to

:58:16. > :58:24.give him the distance. And the accuracy. Justin Rose, whose swing

:58:25. > :58:31.has been marvellous for four days, he has made very few errors on this

:58:32. > :58:42.golf course. The club at the top just about parallel.

:58:43. > :58:50.You can see when it is a slow motion replay, you can see the strain on

:58:51. > :58:59.the back goes under in a golf swing. We knew it would be a battle for

:59:00. > :59:03.gold between Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, but how wonderful it is for

:59:04. > :59:09.the return of golf to the Olympic Games that it comes down to this. It

:59:10. > :59:19.is par-5, the 18th, reachable in two. Stenson and Justin Rose have

:59:20. > :59:23.gone out to the right. The battle for more intense now. You have

:59:24. > :59:29.wasteland directly in front of the green and on the line you have two

:59:30. > :59:34.bunkers that might very well prove problematic. You do not want to be

:59:35. > :59:40.stuck on the lip of a bunker playing your third shot when your opponent

:59:41. > :59:57.is in the middle of the fairway. That wind has picked up.

:59:58. > :00:28.He can't believe how wide he is. The caddies, credit to them both. They

:00:29. > :00:33.are friends, and advisers, psychologists, sometimes a punching

:00:34. > :00:39.bag, often a coat. Sponges as well because they have to take up so much

:00:40. > :00:48.energy and information -- coach. They've both gone to the right.

:00:49. > :01:02.Marcus Fraser is going first. 348 yards, the par-5 finishing hole.

:01:03. > :01:12.He's got to lay up to a place where he wants to play his third. 71 holes

:01:13. > :01:21.down. One hole to play. 15-under, Rose and Stenson. Marcus Fraser.

:01:22. > :01:28.Helping to release the tension for a moment. Chasing it up nicely down

:01:29. > :01:33.the left-hand side of the fairway. A very good angle at the flag as well,

:01:34. > :01:39.for a positive finish to what has been a thoroughly enjoyable Olympic

:01:40. > :01:41.experience for the Australian. Henrik Stenson, lucky that he hasn't

:01:42. > :02:13.gone into the waist area. -- waste. Absolutely, it is 214 into it. As

:02:14. > :02:29.long as you clear it in your mind. No cameras, please. Put the phones

:02:30. > :02:37.away. What we aren't going to see... The Marshall may come out and warned

:02:38. > :02:42.the players for any slow play -- warn. The tension is too much, this

:02:43. > :02:50.is an absolutely thrilling round of golf. 3-wood, for Henrik Stenson. He

:02:51. > :03:00.has 296 metres, A320 four yards to the hole. -- 324. He has absolutely

:03:01. > :03:13.launched this. That isn't too far away. We are

:03:14. > :03:18.looking back down the 18th fairway at Stenson's ball, he is to the left

:03:19. > :03:27.side of the centre bunker. He'll have a relatively short pitched in.

:03:28. > :03:30.The Flag is at the front left. He's on the left-hand side of the

:03:31. > :03:41.fairway, so he's in a good position, Henrik Stenson. Justin Rose must be

:03:42. > :03:42.aiming for the same place as well. This is effectively a play-off in

:03:43. > :04:02.regulation play. You've got the win to go into. --

:04:03. > :04:12.the wind. No photos, put your cameras down. Left of those bunkers,

:04:13. > :04:19.absolutely fine. He's looking at the edge of the grandstand, as you saw

:04:20. > :04:31.from the camera behind him. Stenson is in position eight, to play his

:04:32. > :04:36.third shot in. -- position a. He's just trying to get it into a place

:04:37. > :04:42.where he can play his third shot. Rose, his second on 18. They like

:04:43. > :04:53.it. Well, that has gone further left

:04:54. > :05:05.than Stenson but it's still a good way in. Both players now, it's about

:05:06. > :05:09.their touch with the wedge. Striding down 18 of this wonderful golf

:05:10. > :05:17.course. We've had four days of the most enthralling golf. 60 players

:05:18. > :05:21.from all over the world. And it's come down to a shoot out between

:05:22. > :05:31.Great Britain's Justin Rose and Sweden's Henrik Stenson. Going for

:05:32. > :05:36.gold, both major champions. The Open champion, Henrik Stenson, the 2013

:05:37. > :05:41.US Open champion, Justin Rose. Matt Kuchar of the United States is in

:05:42. > :05:47.the clubhouse on 13-under. He has guaranteed USA a medal. Sweden and

:05:48. > :05:53.Great Britain, battling for gold coming down 18. It is effectively

:05:54. > :05:56.sudden death. Out of these two it is going to be Stenson to play first

:05:57. > :06:00.because Justin Rose got his ball near the people on the right, on the

:06:01. > :06:45.left of the grandstand. So, the galleries are along the

:06:46. > :06:58.fairway and over on the far side, which is the 1st hole. Henrik

:06:59. > :07:02.Stenson. It will be Fraser, the first out of the three, but out of

:07:03. > :07:07.Stenson and Rose, it will be Stenson to play. Marcus Fraser has played

:07:08. > :07:15.what you might say is a supporting role in the final round, but he has

:07:16. > :07:24.played his part in a wonderful Olympic men's individual stroke play

:07:25. > :07:33.tournament. The pin is on the left side of the green. You can see it

:07:34. > :07:41.flattering under the marquee -- fluttering. Oh, it didn't go, it

:07:42. > :07:49.just checked on the green. But he's on the putting surface for free.

:07:50. > :08:01.Stenson and Rose will be looking to get closer than that. The shadows

:08:02. > :08:11.lengthening as the time makes it way -- makes its way to 3:40pm.

:08:12. > :08:24.Both players have come to the back of the green to survey their shot.

:08:25. > :08:32.Looking back, Henrik Stenson is welcomed by the on course announcer.

:08:33. > :08:39.And Great Britain's Justin Rose receives applause from this superb

:08:40. > :08:44.gallery here. It's packed, absolutely packed. Marcus Fraser

:08:45. > :08:51.walks up to his ball. He's on the putting surface. He will mark his

:08:52. > :08:57.ball, he'll have to do because Justin Rose will be coming in from

:08:58. > :09:15.that side. They both are. Stenson is straighter.

:09:16. > :09:35.Phones and cameras away again, please, thank you.

:09:36. > :09:49.Henrik Stenson. Third shot, to the 18th.

:09:50. > :09:58.Oh, that's spinning away from the hole. He wanted a better result

:09:59. > :10:06.compared Mac that from there. -- than that. He wanted a birdie, he is

:10:07. > :10:13.at least 18 feet. That's come up short from Stenson. From the

:10:14. > :10:23.left-hand side of this fairway. Justin Rose. Not quite the distance

:10:24. > :10:32.that Henrik Stenson had. Just 35 metres, 39 yards for his bird. How

:10:33. > :10:36.close can he get it? -- his third. It looks good, looks very good. It's

:10:37. > :10:42.going to land next to the pin. That's the one, is that the shot

:10:43. > :10:49.that will gain Great Britain Olympic gold in the men's individual stroke

:10:50. > :10:55.play Championship? That might be the shot that has done it. There's been

:10:56. > :10:58.nothing between these two. Great Britain's Justin Rose, it has been

:10:59. > :11:12.the most dramatic tension filled final round. And Justin Rose has

:11:13. > :11:20.played a gem at the last. Just quality from Justin Rose, under

:11:21. > :11:27.pressure. Henrik Stenson, leaving the window slightly open after

:11:28. > :11:34.leaving it short. But Justin Rose, not cracking under pressure. Sending

:11:35. > :11:42.it to within a couple of feet of the hole and he'll have that for the

:11:43. > :11:52.first gold medal in 112 years. A spectacular execution of that shot

:11:53. > :12:02.by Justin Rose. The first putt will be Marcus Fraser of Australia, for a

:12:03. > :12:10.birdie at the last. It's got a chance, it has a chance! And down it

:12:11. > :12:12.goes. Marcus Fraser, who opened with a 63, finishes with a birdie at the

:12:13. > :12:28.last. He has very much been part of a

:12:29. > :12:32.supporting role in this final act. The union Jack waving proudly, team

:12:33. > :12:38.Great Britain's Justin Rose, tucked in close to the hole. The Open

:12:39. > :12:45.champion, Henrik Stenson lining up this putt. One of the most

:12:46. > :12:53.characterful individuals on the Tour, Henrik Stenson. Justin Rose,

:12:54. > :12:58.just head down, working on his putting stroke while Stenson line up

:12:59. > :13:04.the putt. He has had his chances, has Henrik Stenson. No stranger to

:13:05. > :13:12.playing under pressure and made the most phenomenal clutch putt on the

:13:13. > :13:18.72nd hole at Troon, to fire a final-round 63, holding off the

:13:19. > :13:32.inspired Mickelson, seeing him equal the lowest ever round score in any

:13:33. > :13:36.major. Henrik Stenson, for birdie. He's pushed it passed and wide. He

:13:37. > :13:44.went for it, he didn't leave anything out there. And he fears

:13:45. > :13:51.that he knows he has allowed Justin Rose the opportunity to climb up

:13:52. > :13:54.onto the top tier of the podium. That was an adrenaline pumped

:13:55. > :14:04.putting stroke from Henrik Stenson. He really gave it a wrap. Fraser

:14:05. > :14:11.finished and Rose closer, Stenson has this for his par. When you

:14:12. > :14:18.consider that he has a little bit of adrenaline pumping and he's tasted

:14:19. > :14:26.so far past, it might be a bit tongue in cheek to say, but he has

:14:27. > :14:31.two putts for the Silver Medal -- chased. Matt Kuchar in the clubhouse

:14:32. > :14:35.on 13-under. I think all he's thinking about is making this putt.

:14:36. > :14:43.Absolutely. Stenson is the consummate professional.

:14:44. > :14:56.This has two BA seven and a half foot putt. -- has to be a seven and

:14:57. > :15:09.a half foot. Henrik Stenson of Sweden for his par. Can't make it.

:15:10. > :15:16.So, Rose will have... It is at least a bogey at the last. I think he's

:15:17. > :15:34.going to putt out here. He will putt out. He will drop to 14-under.

:15:35. > :15:52.Henrik Stenson for his birdie and the Silver Medal. Henrik

:15:53. > :16:09.. Justin Rose creating history when he had a

:16:10. > :16:22.the whole of Great Britain is holding this puttER with Justin

:16:23. > :16:26.Rose. The whole of Great Britain is watching now.

:16:27. > :16:40.It is gold. Justin Rose of Great Britain takes Olympic gold in Rio de

:16:41. > :16:48.Janeiro. The winner of the men's individual stroke play Championship

:16:49. > :16:54.after a titanic struggle. The deadlock is broken. It is joy for

:16:55. > :17:07.Great Britain. Olympic gold for Great Britain and Justin Rose.

:17:08. > :17:19.Olympic silver for Henrik Stenson. A quite magnificent final day.

:17:20. > :17:28.What a performance from Justin Rose at what a shot to the 18th green to

:17:29. > :17:39.give himself the birdie putt. He and Henrik Stenson, a great duel. They

:17:40. > :17:44.have never wavered in their support for this being an Olympic sport.

:17:45. > :17:47.Justin Rose was at the opening ceremony and went to as many other

:17:48. > :17:54.sports he could and went to the swimming. He can celebrate he is an

:17:55. > :17:58.Olympic champion, Britain's first in golf and the first since 1904. We

:17:59. > :18:03.will bring you up-to-date on his medal ceremony and hearing from

:18:04. > :18:08.Justin Rose, as well. The 12th gold medal of the games and the 13th is

:18:09. > :18:14.not far away and more good for Giles Scott?

:18:15. > :18:19.It is a wonder of technology you are still seeing us. We caught Giles

:18:20. > :18:26.Scott's final race. Two points away from securing a gold medal. He is

:18:27. > :18:35.about to start the final race. At the end, we could be looking at Team

:18:36. > :18:44.GB's first sailing gold medal here. Fabulous, thanks, surely. Earlier

:18:45. > :18:47.this evening Max Whitlock became Britain's first Olympic champion in

:18:48. > :18:50.the sport of gymnastics, taking a gold medal on the floor and now he

:18:51. > :19:21.is up against his team-mate Louis Smith on the pommel horse.

:19:22. > :20:18.We can hand you over to the gymnastics team, Dan Keatings,

:20:19. > :20:24.Christine Still and Beth Tweddle are alongside Matt Baker.

:20:25. > :20:28.It is time for the big showdown. This is the pommel horse Olympic

:20:29. > :20:33.final and we have already seen Max Whitlock take the gold medal and

:20:34. > :20:38.hour ago. He has had to refocus and the plan now is for both Max

:20:39. > :20:45.Whitlock and Louis Smith together to push each other and the rest of the

:20:46. > :20:52.world and hopefully get the historic gold for Great Britain as far as

:20:53. > :20:56.pommel horse is concerned. There was an element of wonder about whether

:20:57. > :21:00.it was possible for Great Britain to have a champion in gymnastics and

:21:01. > :21:04.that has happened and now all eyes focused on the pommel horse. This is

:21:05. > :21:11.Cyril Thomas Owen, the first ago of the eight qualifiers. Max Whitlock

:21:12. > :21:15.was highest qualifier, Louis Smith second-highest qualifier. And this

:21:16. > :21:21.will come down to difficulty, Dan Keatings. It is. There are gymnasts

:21:22. > :21:26.who can improve their start values and I think four, five of them will

:21:27. > :21:29.do that in this final to try to get on the medal table. Cyril Thomas own

:21:30. > :21:52.was the third highest -- Tommasone. There is a great shot in this

:21:53. > :21:57.competition. I do not want to jinx anything, but we have a really good

:21:58. > :22:04.chance. Christine still in the commentary box. Starting with the

:22:05. > :22:08.flower combinations up into handstand and he let it swing very

:22:09. > :22:15.fast. He had to control the top of it. A very stylish gymnasts. He has

:22:16. > :22:21.medalled at World Championships before. He has never made a gold

:22:22. > :22:27.medal, but lovely lift of the hips. You have to cleared the pommel horse

:22:28. > :22:32.handles as high as possible. You definitely do not want to hit the

:22:33. > :22:38.platform. Lovely travel. You have to work on one handle and travel

:22:39. > :22:42.forwards and backwards. Has to have a big dismount. He had to use a

:22:43. > :22:48.little bit of strength combat dismount, but he got through it

:22:49. > :22:56.well. It is certainly going to be a decent score for the first gymnast.

:22:57. > :23:01.They come in cold. No warm up in the arena. It is always a big challenge

:23:02. > :23:05.to get up on the apparatus as the first performer and go through

:23:06. > :23:15.clean. His legs are locked together beautifully. Very good hand

:23:16. > :23:29.placement. It shows you the strain the wrist takes on this.

:23:30. > :23:37.Executions score, difficulty, the blues added up and execution, the

:23:38. > :23:51.moves and how well you perform them. He looks delighted. He scored 15.65

:23:52. > :24:01.in qualification. It will be the high 15s that are victorious in this

:24:02. > :24:06.final. 15.6 for Tommasone. What you think? I think it is a good score

:24:07. > :24:21.but to win this you will have to be a little bit higher than that.

:24:22. > :24:26.Measured in your response. David Belyavskiy Had disappointment,

:24:27. > :24:31.finishing fourth in the all-around. A Silver Medal in the European

:24:32. > :24:39.Championships on pommel horse and was an Olympic finalist in London.

:24:40. > :24:42.He is probably my most improved gymnasts this year. Control is the

:24:43. > :24:49.first two elements and what about that on one arm? It is a unique

:24:50. > :24:59.move, the only one you will see in this final. He really can swing

:25:00. > :25:05.well. A nice full sprint or on the end and up onto one handle, ensuring

:25:06. > :25:11.he fulfils all the requirements. Travelling along and coming up to

:25:12. > :25:22.the finish of the routine. Into the dismount. Very nice routine. Not

:25:23. > :25:29.sure the score will be up there for style, but the execution well. 15.6

:25:30. > :25:39.is the score to beat. Louis Smith coming up fifth and Max Whitlock

:25:40. > :25:51.seven. That was a great scissor to handstand to start. David Belyavskiy

:25:52. > :26:04.put it in 15.5 in the team final to get Russia the Silver Medal.

:26:05. > :26:12.A little bit ponderous at the dismount. It is so easy to make

:26:13. > :26:15.errors on the pommel horse. The gymnasts are thrilled with all the

:26:16. > :26:29.pressure of a final to get up and get through. 15.6 is the score to

:26:30. > :26:33.beat and he has not done it. 15.4. Difficulty of 6.6. Next up, number

:26:34. > :26:56.three, Alexander Naddour. 15.366 is the highest score he has

:26:57. > :27:04.had here. This is not their strongest piece. It used to be their

:27:05. > :27:09.weakest event and with Alexander Naddour, it has added to their team

:27:10. > :27:13.sport. He is making finals and it is great to see them in the final.

:27:14. > :27:25.Started off really well. Moving into the centre. On one handle. Really

:27:26. > :27:31.nice. Rendell on the end and travelling across with the legs

:27:32. > :27:44.locked together. And again. Into the Magyar -- Magyar. Up into the

:27:45. > :27:51.dismount and wow. He means business. There is so much fire in team USA

:27:52. > :27:55.will stop always handy to get a US gymnast in a final because they

:27:56. > :28:00.inject energy. They do and that's routine built all of the time.

:28:01. > :28:05.Starting hesitantly up to the handstand, but once he got the

:28:06. > :28:14.difficult element is over, he really worked with virtuosity and speed and

:28:15. > :28:18.the American gymnasts, their first competition, fantastic, stormed

:28:19. > :28:23.away, and have not quite found the heights again, do you agree? They

:28:24. > :28:28.felt the pressure in the team final, qualifying at the top of the

:28:29. > :28:33.leaderboard. I think the expectation is what made them falter in the team

:28:34. > :28:40.final. He wanted to put that right today and he has. A rush of -- brush

:28:41. > :28:50.of the handles with the hips. The judges will deduct? Yes. He has put

:28:51. > :28:54.in a 15.7. That is a massive score. The start score was up two tenths

:28:55. > :28:57.from qualification. That could challenge. 15.7 Alexander Naddour

:28:58. > :29:13.leads the competition. The next gymnast, 22 years old, Oleg

:29:14. > :29:18.Verniaiev, in the fight for gold in the all-around competition and he

:29:19. > :29:24.came away with silver but he could surprise us here. I have seen a

:29:25. > :29:36.video on the internet where he did a 7.5 start value, which would be the

:29:37. > :29:41.highest in the world. He is. That will be disappointing for him. It is

:29:42. > :29:48.right at the start so he still has his whole routine to come. He worked

:29:49. > :29:55.so consistently in the all round competition and focused and did not

:29:56. > :30:01.give anything away. I think it was maybe a bit of adrenaline. He went

:30:02. > :30:09.up into handstand and the shoulders were way too far over the handle and

:30:10. > :30:14.that is why he's let down. We want him to finish this off as clean as

:30:15. > :30:19.he can now. A nice triple Russian in the middle of the handles.

:30:20. > :30:33.Slight split again. Looking like he's fighting through this routine

:30:34. > :30:44.at the moment. Now into the final third of his routine. Up, oh, he

:30:45. > :30:49.looks tired. That all-round competition has taken it out of him.

:30:50. > :30:55.Even then, he struggled. He's exhausted. This is the thing with

:30:56. > :31:01.the pommel horse. The judges don't want to see any strength used at

:31:02. > :31:05.all, you have to flow through the routine and it takes a lot of

:31:06. > :31:10.strength to do it and make it look effortless. It does, when you have a

:31:11. > :31:15.little wobble and you are fighting to stay on, your energy is reducing

:31:16. > :31:19.and you start fighting through the different elements. You could tell

:31:20. > :31:22.that he held on for the rest of his routine but he couldn't make it up

:31:23. > :31:30.on the dismount. Although he didn't win the overall title, he pushed so

:31:31. > :31:38.close I think he won his own private battle. I think he's probably

:31:39. > :31:54.suffering a little bit from the emotion it took to produce that. So,

:31:55. > :32:03.no -- Naddour is going to hang on. The next gymnast to go will be Great

:32:04. > :32:07.Britain's Louis Smith. Will he go for his steady routine or will he go

:32:08. > :32:12.all out for difficulty? I think he will go all out for difficulty. He's

:32:13. > :32:17.got a bronze and a silver at the Olympics and I think he really wants

:32:18. > :32:24.the gold. The only way to do that is to go for it, really, especially

:32:25. > :32:30.when Max Whitlock is in the field. I think he's going to go for it,

:32:31. > :32:36.knowing his character. Than I ever, he weren't challenge. Somebody who

:32:37. > :32:45.will challenge, the next gymnast -- Verniaiev. Louis Smith, he has a

:32:46. > :32:51.bronze and a silver at the Olympics. This time he is going for gold.

:32:52. > :33:02.Next, for Great Britain, Louis Smith. Hard-fought four years. This,

:33:03. > :33:13.then, to become the Olympic champion. Straight up into the

:33:14. > :33:18.handstand. And again. Well composed start.

:33:19. > :33:35.Really nice, nation -- combination. Russian to the end. Now he's gone

:33:36. > :33:49.for the lower start value. Can he finish it off? Just the dismount

:33:50. > :33:57.left now. There we go. Good lad! Well done, Louis. He is through his

:33:58. > :34:05.routine without major deduction. He has set the benchmark. That is going

:34:06. > :34:09.to be the score to beat. It will be, I think. That should be enough to

:34:10. > :34:14.put him into first place and now the pressure is on the rest of the

:34:15. > :34:20.finalists. We'll have to see what happens now. We will, will it be

:34:21. > :34:24.four Olympic medals for Louis Smith, and the question is, what colour

:34:25. > :34:28.will it be? I'm delighted for him that he managed to go clean. He

:34:29. > :34:35.started a couple of times in competition this year. -- stuttered.

:34:36. > :34:42.For me, the decision would always have been to go steady and I think

:34:43. > :34:46.it shows how much Louis has matured that he went for the sensible

:34:47. > :34:54.decision. Hopefully it will be enough for him to medal. Lovely

:34:55. > :35:08.performance, much improved with the execution to what I've seen before.

:35:09. > :35:13.The score is in, 15.8333. It will be his fourth Olympic medal, but the

:35:14. > :35:21.question is, what colour will it be? Much improved execution, 8.9. Very

:35:22. > :35:39.impressed. So, Smith leads Naddour with Tommasone in third. The

:35:40. > :35:52.Merdinyan now, the world bronze-medallist. Posted a score of

:35:53. > :35:54.15.583 in the qualification. The score debate, Louis Smith, 15.8 33.

:35:55. > :36:08.-- to beat. Exciting start. The gymnasts have to

:36:09. > :36:15.do double length circles as well as singles. Yes, they do. This is a

:36:16. > :36:23.difference starts to what he did in qualification. The highest ranked

:36:24. > :36:28.move you can do on the pommel. He has a really nice swing, he is

:36:29. > :36:39.packing this routine full of difficulty. Going really well so

:36:40. > :36:48.far. Forward and backwards across the horse. Well, that wasn't the

:36:49. > :36:53.dismount that he planned. No, not at all. His shoulders were in the wrong

:36:54. > :37:01.place and he put the dismount over the pommel horse. He wanted to do

:37:02. > :37:07.half eight: -- half a turn. Not enough, then, to beat Louis Smith.

:37:08. > :37:11.15.833, Louis, we think he will hang on for the moment. What a shame

:37:12. > :37:19.because it was really a well executed, well swung pommel routine.

:37:20. > :37:23.It was, he has a nice style and over the last couple of years he has

:37:24. > :37:27.added difficulty to his routine which is why he has started getting

:37:28. > :37:33.medals on the international stage. He just miscalculated, didn't he? He

:37:34. > :37:38.needed to take his hips higher and the look on his face says it all.

:37:39. > :37:46.Merdinyan was the fourth highest qualifier. We're not going to get an

:37:47. > :38:00.idea of how the difficulty would compare. With the dismount, it

:38:01. > :38:03.wasn't going to plan, really. That's often what happens. You try and

:38:04. > :38:10.increase the difficulty and it affects the execution. To be able to

:38:11. > :38:15.up your level of difficulty and still perform as perfectly is still

:38:16. > :38:25.a test. Louis Smith can now relax and have a chat with Alex Naddour.

:38:26. > :38:34.Louis leads Naddour with Tommasone in third with 15.6. I'm not sure if

:38:35. > :38:42.Kuksenkov can challenge the last group of athletes. I'm not sure, he

:38:43. > :38:46.can up his difficulty value but I haven't seen him do that for a

:38:47. > :38:52.couple of years. The value he would need to compete with that. Two

:38:53. > :38:57.gymnasts left to go in the men's pommel horse Olympic final. Max

:38:58. > :39:04.Whitlock is the penultimate gymnast. 23 years old. Recently crowned the

:39:05. > :39:15.floor Olympic champion. His chance now on the pommel horse. Great start

:39:16. > :39:32.from Max. There is the single Russian on one handle. Now up into

:39:33. > :39:37.the next move. He's done well there. Moving forward and backwards. The

:39:38. > :39:53.Magyar. Can he get it up? Yes, he can. Max

:39:54. > :40:03.Whitlock has done everything he can. It is now down to the judges. It's

:40:04. > :40:18.going to be close. There was a slight stall on the Busnari. I don't

:40:19. > :40:25.know! That is too close to call. 7.2, there. I don't know if it was

:40:26. > :40:32.quite as clean. You can see on the Busnari that he bent his legs on the

:40:33. > :40:40.way down but it depends what Kuksenkov can do last. What a

:40:41. > :40:46.fantastic performance from the British guys, showing the strength

:40:47. > :40:54.under pressure. To be fighting each other is just unbelievable. Well,

:40:55. > :41:01.Max qualified with a score mag of 15.8, he got 15.91 in the team

:41:02. > :41:07.final. And Max Whitlock has gone ahead of Louis Smith with a score of

:41:08. > :41:12.15.9 66. The world champion is in the lead with one gymnasts to go.

:41:13. > :41:23.Bash Mac -- gymnast. As it stands, Max

:41:24. > :41:28.Whitlock is leading the men's pommel horse final, Louis Smith is in the

:41:29. > :41:36.Silver Medal position and Alex Naddour in third. The final to go,

:41:37. > :41:45.Kuksenkov. He qualified fifth and the highest tea has scored is 15.3

:41:46. > :41:50.83. -- highest he has scored. Really classical classy gymnast but he

:41:51. > :41:59.wavered at the top of the handstand. He recovered well. Shows all the

:42:00. > :42:03.hallmarks of a great training regime. He does. Quite a big error

:42:04. > :42:08.at the start on the scissor to the handstand, not closing his legs

:42:09. > :42:18.which is a huge deduction from the judges. Nice Flair work, two

:42:19. > :42:37.Busnaris which is huge. The flairs are a real crowd pleaser. The

:42:38. > :42:43.Magyar. Into the dismount. Ooh. He fought to the end, but there were

:42:44. > :42:49.definite mistakes. That will not challenge, so Max Whitlock is now a

:42:50. > :42:57.double Olympic champion. That is amazing. Louis Smith will get a

:42:58. > :43:01.Silver Medal. But what about this, what about that young man, Max

:43:02. > :43:09.Whitlock? He'll take the gold in Rio. Louis Smith will take silver

:43:10. > :43:14.and Alex Naddour will be looking eagerly at the scoreboard to see if

:43:15. > :43:26.Kuksenkov will knock out of bird. I doubt it. -- out of third. You can't

:43:27. > :43:29.take it for granted. Great from Max Whitlock, unbelievable. Bronze in

:43:30. > :43:33.the all-round, the Olympic champion on the floor and now the Olympic

:43:34. > :43:38.champion on the pommel horse. That is unbelievable, I never thought we

:43:39. > :43:46.would have an elliptic champion across two pieces of apparatus. --

:43:47. > :43:51.Olympic champion. No Briton has ever got two finals medals in one day.

:43:52. > :43:57.And in the highest level of competition we have ever seen. This

:43:58. > :44:02.men's competition has been very competitive. The teams have been

:44:03. > :44:11.fighting to their limits. We've seen the greatest gymnast ever in

:44:12. > :44:17.Uchimura. To be able to take two gold medals in that kind of field is

:44:18. > :44:30.quite amazing. Great credit to the British programme, the British men's

:44:31. > :44:39.programme, and the coach of Louis Smith. It is a score which confirms

:44:40. > :44:47.that Great Britain has made history again. In one hour, it is remarkable

:44:48. > :44:53.what we are witnessing here. It is a special age in British gymnastics.

:44:54. > :44:58.There is the man of the moment, Max Whitlock, the double Olympic

:44:59. > :45:05.champion. First on the floor, the first final of the day, and now on

:45:06. > :45:09.the pommel horse. It is all of the men and women competing in two

:45:10. > :45:17.finals today and he has won both of them. Alex Naddour, for the US,

:45:18. > :45:23.takes the bronze. Historic bronze for them on the pommel horse. Great

:45:24. > :45:27.Britain's Louis Smith takes silver, as he did in London 2012.

:45:28. > :45:34.he can now. A nice triple Russian in the middle of the handles.

:45:35. > :45:43.I don't think Max can quite believe it. That is an outstanding

:45:44. > :45:48.achievement. I am lost for words. Dan, you were at the Olympics eight

:45:49. > :45:53.years ago and even then we did not have a team in Beijing, you were one

:45:54. > :45:59.of two individuals. Our gymnastics team was not good enough to qualify

:46:00. > :46:04.in the top 12 for men. The rise over the past years has been incredible

:46:05. > :46:10.and Max came onto the scene in 2012, maybe Olympics, got a bronze medal,

:46:11. > :46:14.and from there has kicked on with being European champion,

:46:15. > :46:21.Commonwealth champion, world champion. Now he has this. He has

:46:22. > :46:25.done everything. Louis Smith, he keeps going and going. So successful

:46:26. > :46:36.in this sport now. There is confirmation. One and two, GB.

:46:37. > :46:42.We have been watching from the Velodrome where a gold medal and

:46:43. > :46:46.silver medal for Team GB is guaranteed later because the final

:46:47. > :46:51.of the men's sprint will be between team-mates Callum Skinner and Jason

:46:52. > :46:56.Kenny. Chris Hoy is a good historian of sport and he thinks Max Whitlock

:46:57. > :47:01.might be the first British Olympian to win two gold medals on the same

:47:02. > :47:05.day for different things, I think before it might have been someone

:47:06. > :47:17.like Richard Bede. That is all I can think of. Individual medals on the

:47:18. > :47:22.same day, amazing -- Meade. The ripple effect on British gymnastics

:47:23. > :47:29.for the next four, eight, 12 years. It is a huge achievement for Max and

:47:30. > :47:32.his coach and family but for British gymnastics, the rise of gymnastics

:47:33. > :47:40.over the past eight years has been incredible. We hope to for one

:47:41. > :47:45.Olympic gold and a silver but come away with a double Olympic champion

:47:46. > :47:51.is insane. On the floor, he went early and then had to sit and wait

:47:52. > :47:54.for other people'sscores. Maybe it meant he could go into the pommel

:47:55. > :47:59.horse and think anything that happens here is a bonus. He wanted

:48:00. > :48:03.an Olympic gold medal so much and to take it early on the floor it took

:48:04. > :48:09.the pressure off the pommel horse and I watched Louis Smith watching

:48:10. > :48:12.Max's routine. It is hard to watch. They are team-mates and they want

:48:13. > :48:20.the individual gold medal and when Max's score came up Louis Smith was

:48:21. > :48:25.devastated. If we head over to the golf, the medal ceremony is in

:48:26. > :48:31.progress and Justin Rose, the first golf Olympic champion since 1904. He

:48:32. > :48:36.said when he reflected on his career he would love it to say multi Major

:48:37. > :48:42.winner and Olympic champion. His Olympic dream has come true. And

:48:43. > :48:49.this happening a few moments ago. He almost can't believe it. He held off

:48:50. > :48:54.Henrik Stenson. A birdie for Justin Rose at the last and a bogey for

:48:55. > :49:00.Henrik Stenson meant that Justin Rose could enjoy his final shot. His

:49:01. > :49:02.moment of glory and he will enjoy the national anthem being played in

:49:03. > :49:12.his honour. Ladies and gentlemen, the national

:49:13. > :50:14.anthem of Great Britain. I know people doubted golf coming

:50:15. > :50:18.back to the Olympics, but Justin Rose never had any doubt, he was a

:50:19. > :50:22.huge supporter and was desperate to make the team and made the team with

:50:23. > :50:28.Danny Willett and he is Olympic golf champion and I'm sure we will hear

:50:29. > :50:32.from him later. In the Velodrome tonight, a gold medal and silver

:50:33. > :50:40.medal guaranteed for Great Britain but first up we will catch up on how

:50:41. > :50:48.Becky James and Katy Marchant are getting on. The men's omnium will

:50:49. > :50:55.stop Mark Cavendish's one chance to add an Olympic medal to his

:50:56. > :51:00.incredible cycling CV. Scratch races and then individual pursuit and the

:51:01. > :51:04.elimination race at 11:15pm and between that Jason Kenny against

:51:05. > :51:10.Callum Skinner. The best-of-3, so it might not go to the third decider

:51:11. > :51:13.but that will be a terrific tussle. Everybody impressed with Callum

:51:14. > :51:21.Skinner. Jason Kenny, the defending champion. Sprinting has always been

:51:22. > :51:26.something British cyclists are good at and Becky James having won in the

:51:27. > :51:31.keirin yesterday is hoping to put herself in position for another

:51:32. > :51:34.medal. This was her qualifying round a few moments ago.

:51:35. > :51:46.COMMENTATOR: Becky James on the track 24 hours after winning the

:51:47. > :51:51.keirin. She starts her sprint campaign here. We are looking for

:51:52. > :51:55.somewhere in the region of 10.7. Rumours from the training camp are

:51:56. > :52:04.that she is capable of that but that is what it will take to qualify well

:52:05. > :52:11.in this event. The Olympic record, 10.724, set by Victoria Pendleton in

:52:12. > :52:22.London four years ago. Becky James will start to wind it up and get on

:52:23. > :52:26.top of that gear. The timer starts as she went over the white line.

:52:27. > :52:34.Down the back straight. Powering around the bottom of the track. Now

:52:35. > :52:41.into the finishing straight. 10.721, a new Olympic record! Becky James

:52:42. > :52:46.starts in style in the women's sprint. Those were the rumours

:52:47. > :53:00.coming from the camp, that she was on for. An emotional high after the

:53:01. > :53:04.medal yesterday. A great wind-up. Excellent execution. That brought

:53:05. > :53:06.the crowd to life in the Velodrome, for the first time this afternoon.

:53:07. > :53:20.This, the opening event. She is fastest. Ahead of Anna

:53:21. > :53:24.Meares. Meanwhile, Max Whitlock, his second medal ceremony of the day. It

:53:25. > :53:31.means Great Britain now sit second in the medals table. Max Whitlock is

:53:32. > :53:47.now a double Olympic champion. Alexander Naddour receiving his

:53:48. > :53:51.bronze medal. Seventh at the World Championships last year and now

:53:52. > :53:58.standing on the medal podium at the Olympic Games. It is Great Britain

:53:59. > :54:15.silver and gold. Alexander Naddour takes the bronze

:54:16. > :54:17.in this men's pommel final. And silver goes to Great Britain's Louis

:54:18. > :54:45.Smith. Bronze in Beijing, a silver in

:54:46. > :54:49.London 2012 and silver in Rio. It has been a real battle for Louis

:54:50. > :55:00.Smith over the last four years to make it here.

:55:01. > :55:11.He has put so much into the sport and done so much for British

:55:12. > :55:13.gymnastics. All of his efforts have made the British team what it is

:55:14. > :55:42.today. Max Whitlock!

:55:43. > :55:47.APPLAUSE. What an hour it has been for this

:55:48. > :55:51.23-year-old. He is now double Olympic champion. He was victorious

:55:52. > :56:03.on floor and has now beaten everybody here on pommel horse. Max

:56:04. > :56:12.Whitlock takes gold. Remarkable composure to be able to refocus and

:56:13. > :56:25.come back out here and take gold in front of tough, tough competition.

:56:26. > :56:34.Max Whitlock. Now pommel horse Olympic champion, as well. We will

:56:35. > :56:45.pause and wait for two union flags to be raised high here in the arena.

:56:46. > :57:41.It is quite hard to put into context what has gone on in the last hour

:57:42. > :57:43.and a half, but we now have a double Olympic champion in gymnastics,

:57:44. > :57:55.something we all could never have imagined.

:57:56. > :58:05.STUDIO: What a day for Max Whitlock and for Louis Smith, congratulations

:58:06. > :58:09.to him. Once again he takes silver. An extraordinary time for British

:58:10. > :58:16.gymnastics and it is wonderful and I know the team will be really choked.

:58:17. > :58:22.It is brilliant. Justin Rose has won gold in the goal. Andy Murray's

:58:23. > :58:28.match against Del Potro has not yet started so you are not missing

:58:29. > :58:32.anything. The doubles final has just finished so the singles should be in

:58:33. > :58:37.ten minutes and that might start on BBC Four but we will hopefully bring

:58:38. > :58:42.the best of it on BBC One. Becky James is fastest so far in

:58:43. > :58:44.qualifying for the women's sprint. Let's see how her team-mate Katy

:58:45. > :58:53.Marchant went. Onto the track for the first time

:58:54. > :59:04.here at the Rio Olympics. A former heptathlete. Competed for Great

:59:05. > :59:08.Britain in the 2012 junior championships but suggested she

:59:09. > :59:21.would make a good cyclists. It seems to have paid off. She has had

:59:22. > :59:29.considerable success. Looking to qualifying. I am sure we will see an

:59:30. > :59:43.excellent ride. Katy Marchant into her qualifying ride. What can she

:59:44. > :59:49.come up with? Full gas. 10.7 87. The second fastest time so far. Just a

:59:50. > :59:53.little slower than Becky James, but an excellent start to the

:59:54. > :59:57.competition from Katy Marchant. I think you are seeing the product of

:59:58. > :00:01.training in the same environment where your yardstick is the

:00:02. > :00:05.team-mates and when your team-mate is among the fastest and has just

:00:06. > :00:10.set the Olympic record, that is what you're measuring yourself against.

:00:11. > :00:11.Perhaps no surprise the standards are high because they train with

:00:12. > :00:14.each other all of the time. Britain's Louis Smith takes silver,

:00:15. > :00:21.as he did in London 2012. We will pick out the qualifying in a

:00:22. > :00:28.moment to see if anybody can get ahead of Becky James's record, which

:00:29. > :00:36.is from London. We saw how far she was going in the keirin, she was

:00:37. > :00:42.10.8 in the final, four abreast. So from that we knew she was on great

:00:43. > :00:46.form and she has proven it. In terms of their training, who is normally

:00:47. > :00:52.quicker, Katie or Becky? Katie has been quicker over the 200 metres

:00:53. > :00:58.over the last year and half, but not much in it. It just shows, the

:00:59. > :01:03.morale that Becky has for the Silver Medal has given her a boost. Both of

:01:04. > :01:07.them are in the fight now. It will be terrific to see and then they

:01:08. > :01:11.will go through to the round of 16 tonight. Tomorrow is the second

:01:12. > :01:16.round, the eight finals and quarterfinals and semifinals I think

:01:17. > :01:21.and then the final will be on whatever day we are on now! We've

:01:22. > :01:24.totally lost track, Great Britain are having a phenomenal Games and

:01:25. > :01:29.the gold medals are coming so fast from so many different directions

:01:30. > :01:36.that we almost can't keep track of them. It's a nice problem to have. I

:01:37. > :01:39.know! The latest from Max Whitlock -- Max Whitlock on the pommel horse

:01:40. > :01:48.and we will get reaction shortly. Louis Smith first. We can see that

:01:49. > :01:52.the tears are still fresh on your cheeks, what does this medal mean to

:01:53. > :02:00.you? It is incredible. So many different emotions. I would have

:02:01. > :02:04.liked to have got a goal. But to be here, incredible achievement --

:02:05. > :02:09.gold. I had so many negative comments when the team selection was

:02:10. > :02:13.made, that I shouldn't be in the team and to have messed up in the

:02:14. > :02:17.team final and to have a week until now, I was dealing with a lot

:02:18. > :02:24.emotionally and mentally. To come and do that routine, it means so

:02:25. > :02:28.much. Is this the release of a lot of pressure that has been building

:02:29. > :02:33.up after the team final, and also coming back and the comments about

:02:34. > :02:37.your inclusion? Yes, so many things. The amount of pride I'm feeling,

:02:38. > :02:42.I've been speaking to my mum a lot, she is at home, she didn't come here

:02:43. > :02:48.to watch, and she has been worried. To go through that under that much

:02:49. > :02:53.pressure, how I was feeling... It made so much. I've been in this

:02:54. > :02:57.sport for two decades, I'm 27, I don't know if this is my last

:02:58. > :03:03.Olympics and to do that routine, I'm very happy. Fantastic test of your

:03:04. > :03:09.longevity because you have won medals at three different Olympics.

:03:10. > :03:14.Yes, two silvers and one bronze. The pommel horse, I've still got it. And

:03:15. > :03:19.the other man who has got it, Max, give us a word about him because you

:03:20. > :03:24.have witnessed not just one historic gold but two today. Oh, it's

:03:25. > :03:29.incredible. I kept my eye on the floor final. It is hard to keep your

:03:30. > :03:34.composure when your team-mate has won a gold medal on the floor, so I

:03:35. > :03:38.tried to stay as focused as I could. Max has been the star of this

:03:39. > :03:43.competition, all-round, individual, two golds, incredible.

:03:44. > :03:47.Congratulations, all the best. The other thing I'm thinking, listening

:03:48. > :03:52.to that and reflecting on the performances, how much Mitch fellow

:03:53. > :03:57.would have enjoyed that, part of the BBC commentary team, who died

:03:58. > :04:05.earlier this year. He would have been so proud, two golds and a

:04:06. > :04:12.silver in the space of half an hour. Incredible. Max, the double Olympic

:04:13. > :04:18.champion, try and put it into words for us. It is very tough, the

:04:19. > :04:26.expectations going in, never would have said that, it is incredible. We

:04:27. > :04:32.expected and hoped for something big on the pommel horse but the floor

:04:33. > :04:36.was a big surprise. The same as me, a surprise, I never expect to get a

:04:37. > :04:42.medal, even thinking about it, I go to do my job. Hours and years in the

:04:43. > :04:46.gym and you get about one minute to show what you've been working on. To

:04:47. > :04:51.do it at the Olympic Games, I'm just so happy. After that drama, the gold

:04:52. > :04:58.medal, how did you compose yourself and do it a second time? I kind

:04:59. > :05:05.of... I knew I had to be focused. It was hard to take it in. Now I can

:05:06. > :05:13.take them in at the same time. I got emotional, I wasn't watching any

:05:14. > :05:18.routines. I knew I had to think that I had one more job to do, get back

:05:19. > :05:22.into the training and do it and it has paid off massively. You are a

:05:23. > :05:26.history maker and we are all very proud of you but what do you think

:05:27. > :05:30.this will do for gymnastics? Hopefully a lot, making history is

:05:31. > :05:35.an incredible feeling and for Team GB and British gymnastics, hopefully

:05:36. > :05:41.it can inspire others. The team and Louis have done amazing. Hopefully

:05:42. > :05:48.the future is bright. Many congratulations, enjoy the moment.

:05:49. > :05:51.Thank you. You could see that release, not at finishing the

:05:52. > :05:57.interview, but the day he has had, two gold medals, the world champion,

:05:58. > :06:02.European champion and the Commonwealth champion, at the top of

:06:03. > :06:06.his game. Qualifying for the women's sprint, is Becky James and Katie

:06:07. > :06:09.Marchant can stay fastest and second fastest, is that like Callum Skinner

:06:10. > :06:17.and Jason Kenny, going different ways in the draw? Exactly, it would

:06:18. > :06:22.be the perfect scenario. I don't think we expected them to top the

:06:23. > :06:29.qualifying. We have one more to go. Stephanie Morton now of Australia.

:06:30. > :06:32.COMMENTATOR: Only three more to go. This is the first of them, the

:06:33. > :06:39.common world sprint champion. If anyone can topple Becky James' time,

:06:40. > :06:59.more than is one of only two who can in my opinion -- a Commonwealth.

:07:00. > :07:05.Stephanie Morton looking to set her qualifying time, the final 200

:07:06. > :07:12.metres at the start of the women's sprint qualification. Becky James

:07:13. > :07:16.has set the time to beat. 10.8 75. They can't sustain that speed

:07:17. > :07:23.through the whole 200 metres. She'll be disappointed, I'm sure. She was

:07:24. > :07:31.the fastest qualifier at the World Championships. The Australians, as a

:07:32. > :07:34.team, things aren't going well. Is that of capitalising on their form

:07:35. > :07:39.from the World Championships, they seem to have crumbled. More than

:07:40. > :07:45.will be disappointed. 10.7 at the World Championships but slipping up

:07:46. > :07:51.when it counts. This is Kristina Vogel, the world champion in two of

:07:52. > :07:58.three of the last years. The world record holder. I don't think she is

:07:59. > :08:04.in the form that she was when she said that. 10.721 is the fastest

:08:05. > :08:08.time so far. Here comes Kristina Vogel, building up the speed at the

:08:09. > :08:20.top of the track. She has technique and she's going for the long and

:08:21. > :08:25.leisurely curve around. Down to the back straight, banking down to our

:08:26. > :08:31.left. Just around the time of Becky James. And third time, outside the

:08:32. > :08:43.time of Becky James. The fifth quickest. It surprising, isn't it?

:08:44. > :08:48.She went for a really big gear and if you don't get on top of it

:08:49. > :08:57.immediately, there is no way to build into the right. Surprising

:08:58. > :09:04.performances, I have to say -- the ride. Some

:09:05. > :09:25.the last rider in qualifying, the world champion. She has posted 10.7s

:09:26. > :09:31.before. As she moved on since the World Championships? Conditions are

:09:32. > :09:38.nice and warm, about 30 degrees. The only rider who can top the time of

:09:39. > :09:44.Becky James. Slightly changing the seeding order. Out of the saddle,

:09:45. > :09:48.driving down the home straight. Powering into the banking away to

:09:49. > :09:58.our left. Not going to do it, though. That is the fifth fastest

:09:59. > :10:01.time and just as in the men's's match sprint, the two fastest

:10:02. > :10:08.qualifiers in the 27 rider field are both British. Skinner and Kenny for

:10:09. > :10:13.the men and now it is Marchant and Becky James for Great Britain. Both

:10:14. > :10:19.of them really quick. Becky James setting a new Olympic world record

:10:20. > :10:25.time. Katie Marchant performing fantastically to produce the second

:10:26. > :10:29.quickest time. They aren't doing anything super special. This is what

:10:30. > :10:34.we thought it would be. The others are going slower than the qualifying

:10:35. > :10:41.in the World Championships, so the British again have peaked at the

:10:42. > :10:46.right time. And there is the confirmation of qualifying for the

:10:47. > :10:50.women's sprint. Great Britain, one and two. Not a bad start to the

:10:51. > :10:54.evening and still to come at the velodrome, Mark Cavendish in action

:10:55. > :11:00.in three events of the men's omnium, six in total and at about 9pm,

:11:01. > :11:06.because they are running late, Jason Kenny up against Callum Skinner.

:11:07. > :11:11.Guaranteed GB gold and silver in the best of three men's sprint finals.

:11:12. > :11:15.But let's go back to the golf and remind you how Justin Rose became

:11:16. > :11:21.Britain's's first ever Olympic champion in this sport and the first

:11:22. > :11:27.since 1904. It was a tap in final putt for birdie on 18. Grabbing his

:11:28. > :11:32.badge, a moment of delight for him. This is what he said about it

:11:33. > :11:38.afterwards. Justin, congratulations, you are the Olympic champion. Before

:11:39. > :11:42.these Games, some people said that golf had no place at the Olympics.

:11:43. > :11:46.You are wearing the gold medal, told them they are wrong, how it feels.

:11:47. > :11:51.Absolutely wrong, every single player who came here will admit they

:11:52. > :11:53.have had the most amazing week, potentially of their golfing lives

:11:54. > :11:58.because it has been so unique and different. The competition has been

:11:59. > :12:03.first class, up against Henrik Stenson, the best in the world right

:12:04. > :12:07.now, it was a huge challenge and that is what the Olympics is about,

:12:08. > :12:13.about the best bringing their game on the day and today proved to be a

:12:14. > :12:17.great final and a great final round. The medal ceremony was a surreal

:12:18. > :12:22.experience, it really was, something I've seen before in many times, but

:12:23. > :12:26.seeing Matt and Henrik up there, it was something to behold. It must

:12:27. > :12:31.have been completely new for you because you don't tend to sing the

:12:32. > :12:36.national anthem the way you did. I started singing and all I could hear

:12:37. > :12:40.was myself. Normally using it in a stadium with other people and I

:12:41. > :12:44.realised how bad my singing is! I medalled through the words, I think

:12:45. > :12:53.I got most of their right. It was an amazing experience. Do you think of

:12:54. > :13:00.the way that you came down neck and neck, what a great showcase. It is

:13:01. > :13:07.something I focused on, something I wanted to be at my peak for. It has

:13:08. > :13:12.been at the 4th fight -- the forefront over the last few months.

:13:13. > :13:17.Hopefully it was an exciting finish and people can get into it. I

:13:18. > :13:24.believe it was a great showcase for the first time golf in the Olympics

:13:25. > :13:28.in 112 years. Holding your nerve, congratulations. My mind is

:13:29. > :13:34.scrambled right now, I'm just taking it all in. Enjoyed it. Brilliant

:13:35. > :13:44.from Justin Rose. News from Shirley Robertson in the sailing.

:13:45. > :13:54.Literally... I think those pictures may have gone. I think they are so

:13:55. > :14:06.far out but it is a gold medal for Giles Scott, confirmed. That is

:14:07. > :14:12.confirmed. Can we see the medal table? I don't know if it has been

:14:13. > :14:16.updated. Alongside me I have two members of the women's team pursuit

:14:17. > :14:22.who took gold last night, Joanna Rowsell-Shand is with me and Elinor

:14:23. > :14:28.Barker as well. Laura Trott is still competing. Jo, congratulations.

:14:29. > :14:31.Before we talk to you, let's let you see how you won gold. COMMENTATOR:

:14:32. > :14:35.The world champions, the United States of America, against Great

:14:36. > :14:42.Britain, the four time world champions. What an Olympic final we

:14:43. > :14:43.have on our hands here. The one kilometre mark. Advantage slightly

:14:44. > :15:04.to the United States. and now Great Britain are starting

:15:05. > :15:10.to turn the screw here. Now the pressure is on the American team.

:15:11. > :15:15.The final lap of the Olympic final. It is going to be a ride to glory

:15:16. > :15:17.for Great Britain. Up towards the line, it is gold for Great Britain,

:15:18. > :15:47.and smashing the world record! Those are four very happy faces.

:15:48. > :15:51.Just to clarify in the sailing, Giles Scott cannot be beaten, he

:15:52. > :15:57.will win gold but it will not count until the race is complete on

:15:58. > :16:04.Tuesday. Jo, the second Olympic gold medal in a row. Coming back and

:16:05. > :16:09.trying to defend it, it is harder than I thought it would be. Having

:16:10. > :16:14.four years of the pressure of being Olympic champion, everything you do

:16:15. > :16:19.for four years, everybody expects you to win. You are Olympic champion

:16:20. > :16:27.everywhere you go and to come back and defend this, it was a harder

:16:28. > :16:31.task than I thought. When it is harder, does it mean you enjoy the

:16:32. > :16:35.moment more on the podium, because you know how much it took? I feel

:16:36. > :16:41.proud getting through the process and doing it all again. Massive

:16:42. > :16:45.respect to Chris for how many he has won. I did not know how tough it

:16:46. > :16:52.would be coming back to do it again and you have done it... Four times

:16:53. > :17:00.defending. Six bike races. Incredibly proud. In some ways

:17:01. > :17:05.tougher, so it makes it special, but nothing will ever top London, the

:17:06. > :17:11.home games. A terrific atmosphere there, but for you, this tops London

:17:12. > :17:17.because you did not ride in London. What has it been like? Incredible.

:17:18. > :17:21.The past 24 hours have flown by. It has been the most bizarre and

:17:22. > :17:26.amazing experience. The ten minutes after crossing the line is the best

:17:27. > :17:31.ten minutes of my life and I do not think I will top that. What about

:17:32. > :17:36.the pressure going into the final with the Americans setting a fast

:17:37. > :17:42.time. Did you feel as if you were at the limit in the semifinal, did you

:17:43. > :17:47.know you have more to give? We were on the limit in the semifinal. We

:17:48. > :17:58.cruised over the line a little bit. We knew we had more to give. We did

:17:59. > :18:02.not expect a world record. Breaking the world record was a massive

:18:03. > :18:06.confidence boost. It took a bit of Russia off the final to know that we

:18:07. > :18:15.had gone faster without trying our hardest. Was it the same in the

:18:16. > :18:19.final? Did you attack harder from the start, did you expect the

:18:20. > :18:24.Americans to come at you, were you running your own raise? We expected

:18:25. > :18:34.them to start fast. We almost said we had to ride our own race. I do

:18:35. > :18:39.not know how it came off. Something worked out. Mainly sticking to our

:18:40. > :18:44.own race strategy and squeezing it a little bit faster at the end. There

:18:45. > :18:48.is a lot of British support in the Velodrome. It feels like it is a

:18:49. > :19:00.British friendly crowd. Can you hear them? I think they are mainly

:19:01. > :19:04.Barkers! Is it your family? ! They are in all the photos and

:19:05. > :19:10.newspapers. They have had an amazing time. This was the moment. How much

:19:11. > :19:15.did you pay attention to the hype about the American bikes and the

:19:16. > :19:19.left-hand drive chain and aerodynamics and they had found two,

:19:20. > :19:27.three seconds from the bikes. Did you see it as mind games, bluffing?

:19:28. > :19:32.I found it really interesting. Nothing I have seen before. That

:19:33. > :19:35.innovation is exciting. It is something you cannot control so I

:19:36. > :19:41.thought there was no point in worrying about it. We felt confident

:19:42. > :19:45.on our bikes. We wondered how much faster and another could be by

:19:46. > :19:49.moving the chain to the other side. Is it something you might try? We

:19:50. > :19:55.have not talked about it. They did not drink it out with enough time

:19:56. > :20:06.for us to have a go which was clever of them. Maybe we can try it for

:20:07. > :20:13.Tokyo. We have to give credit to that surge your team-mate put in. It

:20:14. > :20:20.snapped the elastic at that point. The splits were close. Katie is

:20:21. > :20:32.incredibly strong and when she is on top form, she is unbeatable. She was

:20:33. > :20:37.the hero of the race. How much have you learned from Jo and Laura, and

:20:38. > :20:40.benefited from their experience, or were you not fazed by coming to an

:20:41. > :20:48.Olympics for the first time? A little bit of both. I have been

:20:49. > :20:54.riding with the team four years. My first team visit was the first race

:20:55. > :20:58.after the London games. You saw so much information and there are

:20:59. > :21:02.stories going around from previous Games about how things were in the

:21:03. > :21:06.village and the track and I built up a picture. Riding with the girls

:21:07. > :21:11.four years on the track, learning the tricks of the trade, everything

:21:12. > :21:18.you should do on the bike is the fastest you can be. You as a team

:21:19. > :21:23.were celebrating. You having your second gold medal. Laura Trott,

:21:24. > :21:28.winning three Olympic golds, the first British woman. She had

:21:29. > :21:33.sustained competition. How impressed were you? We were super impressed,

:21:34. > :21:40.but we did expect it. We knew if we won the team pursuit she would have

:21:41. > :21:47.that accolade, but she cannot relax. She has two more days of bike

:21:48. > :21:51.racing. She is the current world champion and defending Olympic

:21:52. > :21:56.champion in the omnium. Although she gets nervous on race day, she can

:21:57. > :22:00.perform under pressure and still go out there and beat the best in the

:22:01. > :22:07.world, which separates have from other talented riders. She does not

:22:08. > :22:13.buckle under the pressure of being Olympic champion. What would you say

:22:14. > :22:18.the secret is of your teamwork? We spend a lot of time training

:22:19. > :22:24.together in Manchester and live in each other's pockets. Up to three

:22:25. > :22:31.sessions per day. And in the gym. Training camps, so much time

:22:32. > :22:35.together to the point where I can tell when riding behind someone,

:22:36. > :22:41.their body language, how they are going that day. I can tell from

:22:42. > :22:47.somebody's walk, wiggle behind how they feeling. I can tell every rider

:22:48. > :22:52.from behind how they are feeling and when you know each other that well,

:22:53. > :22:57.you have 100% trusting each other, and you can tell how people are

:22:58. > :23:02.feeling in the race. Will you go on another four years? We will see. We

:23:03. > :23:09.have things planned in off-season. Weddings to go to, a holiday. For

:23:10. > :23:15.me, the next thing is the Commonwealth Games in 2018. Try to

:23:16. > :23:21.break it into two year chunks. I will worry about that first before

:23:22. > :23:28.an Olympic Games. I know there will be more for you to come.

:23:29. > :23:32.Congratulations. I know you will stay to cheer your team-mates and

:23:33. > :23:37.Laura Trott in the omnium, which starts in two days, I think. Yes.

:23:38. > :23:43.Tomorrow, it starts tomorrow. The men's omnium has started and it is

:23:44. > :23:57.the first chance for Mark Cavendish to win himself an Olympic medal.

:23:58. > :24:06.Mark, another Olympic Games, how are you feeling? I am excited. We have a

:24:07. > :24:12.great group around us. I know all the team, the women, the men, the

:24:13. > :24:16.sprint, from every aspect. I know the times. Half of the team have

:24:17. > :24:21.smashed the Tour de France on the road. Great times to be on a

:24:22. > :24:25.bicycle. How much confidence do you take off the back of a successful

:24:26. > :24:31.tour, wearing the yellow jersey? I made every day camp this year and so

:24:32. > :24:36.I knew where I would be this July and August period. My morale has

:24:37. > :24:42.picked up. I know everything I have done has worked and if I can quickly

:24:43. > :24:47.transition to the track, I am on a bike, but people do not realise how

:24:48. > :24:53.hard it is to go from road to track. It is like a Formula 1 driver doing

:24:54. > :24:58.rallycross. He will do well, it is driving, but it is not quite the

:24:59. > :25:03.same. It is about transition and if I can do that quickly I have a

:25:04. > :25:12.chance. You are world champion, 30 stages on the tour. Where does the

:25:13. > :25:16.Olympics it? It is that one thing I have not done. Within my physicality

:25:17. > :25:24.I have done everything I can except win the Olympic Games. It is not

:25:25. > :25:29.going to define my career. As a British athlete, it will define my

:25:30. > :25:36.career and it is the same on a personal level. I am patriotically.

:25:37. > :25:39.The Olympics is the highest thing. Personally, as a British sports

:25:40. > :25:44.person, it is a big thing. You went to Beijing and the madison did not

:25:45. > :25:50.come off. You were the one to watch in the road race in 2012. The

:25:51. > :25:54.positives I can take from those Olympics, I set a date that year

:25:55. > :25:58.when I wanted to be in my best condition and both times I was in

:25:59. > :26:03.the best condition I could be. I believe I was one of the strongest

:26:04. > :26:10.if not the strongest in the race. I knew we did it right the last two

:26:11. > :26:14.times. For me, every single day counts this year, to be in the best

:26:15. > :26:21.form possible for those days at the Olympics. The omnium for first-time

:26:22. > :26:28.watchers, it is like the decathlon on the track. I am confident for it.

:26:29. > :26:33.I have worked on the events I was weaker act. I am confident with the

:26:34. > :26:40.equipment we have and training I have got and with my form that I

:26:41. > :26:43.will be in with a good medal shot. We will see Mark Cavendish in the

:26:44. > :26:53.first of his events shortly. Meanwhile, Andy Murray walking out

:26:54. > :27:00.on court to face one Del Potro in the gold medal match.

:27:01. > :27:04.Judy Murray is not here, she is watching from home. A lot of fans

:27:05. > :27:13.from Argentina. There is coverage of that on BBC Four. We will stay in

:27:14. > :27:18.the Velodrome because the men's sprint finals, Jason Kenny against

:27:19. > :27:25.Callum Skinner, are coming up within the next 45 minutes. The men's

:27:26. > :27:30.omnium. Six events, Chris. Mark Cavendish, he hugely wants to win an

:27:31. > :27:35.Olympic medal. It is the one thing missing. He had a disaster in

:27:36. > :27:41.Beijing. It starts with this, the scratch race, which means? It is a

:27:42. > :27:47.15 kilometres race and it is the first person across the line who

:27:48. > :27:52.wins it. Everybody together. You can attack. The American rider has made

:27:53. > :27:57.a move. You can sit with the bunch and be patient, go for the sprint.

:27:58. > :28:00.We saw Mark Cavendish making a breakaway with a Danish rider. It

:28:01. > :28:10.looked dangerous but the bunch brought them back. Cav is a canny

:28:11. > :28:15.rider and this is probably one of his strongest events in the omnium.

:28:16. > :28:21.He has three events today. And three tomorrow and it is the cumulative

:28:22. > :28:26.points total with a waiting on the final event. Extra points for that.

:28:27. > :28:32.That is one of the strongest events and hopefully it will play into his

:28:33. > :28:37.hands. We can join commentary and work out where Mark Cavendish is.

:28:38. > :28:45.Chris Boardman and Simon Brotherton. 16 laps to go. The Belgians swinging

:28:46. > :28:51.up allowing Bobby leave from the US to come through and those two have

:28:52. > :28:58.half a lap on the rest of the field. Lasse Hansen, the Danish rider and

:28:59. > :29:07.the German, who won the silver medal in the World Championship of the --

:29:08. > :29:12.they are the two chasing. Mark Cavendish had a go early and it was

:29:13. > :29:17.too early in the race. I think this is the move. They are the only ones

:29:18. > :29:26.who will cross to the front runners. I do not think they will be seen

:29:27. > :29:31.again with 13 laps remaining. There are the two chasers and the rider

:29:32. > :29:35.who has broken off the front trying to chase down the four is the former

:29:36. > :29:44.world champion from Australia, Glenn O'Shea. Now we have four riders at

:29:45. > :29:48.the front. Bobby Lee almost forced Hansen wide, perhaps not aware of

:29:49. > :29:54.the steam train that was about to come past him.

:29:55. > :30:00.Kluge is trying to force the pace and he has split the group. We are

:30:01. > :30:04.watching the front but Mark Cavendish is now going to the front

:30:05. > :30:10.of the group, allowing Fernando Gaviria to do a lot of the chasing

:30:11. > :30:13.because Fernando Gaviria is the big favourite for the gold medal.

:30:14. > :30:23.Cavendish put him on his wheel for a little while. They aren't far off

:30:24. > :30:31.the same half of the track so it is possible that the time for having

:30:32. > :30:39.finesse has gone. The front of the race, the Dane, that is Hansen with

:30:40. > :30:43.Roger Kluge. Glenn O'Shea looks like he is slowing down and Bobby Lea,

:30:44. > :30:48.who instigated the attack, looks like he is riding through treacle

:30:49. > :30:57.with the rest of the field closing down. Hansen is showing no sign of

:30:58. > :31:03.slowing down and two to -- and Kluge is working well. Kluge has been the

:31:04. > :31:08.driving force. Hansen is going to finish it off, less than two

:31:09. > :31:14.kilometres to go. O'Shea Mac is trying to get back on terms. He is

:31:15. > :31:22.out of gas, stuck between a rock and a hard place. The Frenchman Thomas

:31:23. > :31:31.Booth at is trying to break away. -- Thomas Boudat. Mark Cavendish has

:31:32. > :31:38.cut his losses and decided that OK, there is no way he was going to

:31:39. > :31:41.bring it back. Making contact now. Cavendish looking to see if he can

:31:42. > :31:48.take fourth place. I don't know if they are going to bring O'Shea back,

:31:49. > :31:56.with five laps to go, and he has the Frenchman behind him. Thomas Boudat.

:31:57. > :31:59.Hansen and Kluge are catching their breath as best as they can as they

:32:00. > :32:11.get ready for the sprint at the end of the race, and Thomas Boudat has

:32:12. > :32:15.overtaken O'Shea. Having a chance possibly to get onto the back of the

:32:16. > :32:19.main group unless they start winding it up for the sprint at the end of

:32:20. > :32:24.the race but I think he's going to make it. That will be any moment

:32:25. > :32:28.now, they will make contact but they may not have the legs to stay with

:32:29. > :32:32.them when the sprint cars. Less than one minute of racing and the sprint

:32:33. > :32:36.is going to start any second. Cavendish is a long way back as

:32:37. > :32:44.Kluge comes around, that is the wheel to get. He has spotted that.

:32:45. > :32:51.Two laps to go. The rider from Korea at the front now, Park Sang-hoon,

:32:52. > :32:55.opening it up and he is followed. The Frenchman is not on the back of

:32:56. > :33:00.the group and neither is O'Shea. Beautifully placed to take the

:33:01. > :33:04.sprint. One more lap to go in the opening event of the men's omni on.

:33:05. > :33:11.Dylan Kennett, Mark Cavendish is on his shoulder, the raw goes up in the

:33:12. > :33:15.stadium. The finishing straight. I think Kennett may have held on from

:33:16. > :33:24.Mark Cavendish as they go over the line. Cavendish certainly salvaged

:33:25. > :33:29.something. Gaining a lap on the rest of the field, the defending champion

:33:30. > :33:32.from Denmark there, Lasse Hansen and also Roger Kluge from Germany who

:33:33. > :33:38.won silver in the World Championship this year. Really good start to this

:33:39. > :33:42.competition from the pair of them. Mark Cavendish didn't do too badly

:33:43. > :33:48.in the opening race. Not at all, he cut his losses when he realised that

:33:49. > :33:52.they had gone. They could sprint, I think his form was better than it

:33:53. > :33:56.was at the World Championships but Hansen and Kluge have shown, they

:33:57. > :34:02.have put down the market and they are the men to watch. Hansen and

:34:03. > :34:09.Kluge for the first ago, Boudat and O'Shea work ahead of the rest, and

:34:10. > :34:14.Fernando Gaviria has been given fifth with Mark Cavendish in sixth.

:34:15. > :34:18.The same position he finished at the World Championships, so a solid

:34:19. > :34:22.start from him. A bit surprised about Fernando Gaviria, I thought we

:34:23. > :34:27.would see more from him. Glenn O'Shea expended a lot of energy.

:34:28. > :34:34.What a set of legs he showed to close the gap. A long two days, this

:34:35. > :34:38.is just the first event. And condensed as well. Normally it is

:34:39. > :34:42.over two days, the first three is the event in the morning. All of

:34:43. > :34:48.them in the late session, less than one hour between each right. We came

:34:49. > :34:52.into the omnium thinking that Fernando Gaviria, the world champion

:34:53. > :34:56.for two years, was the man to beat but what an ominously good start

:34:57. > :35:01.from Hansen, he was all business. Phenomenal from him. We've already

:35:02. > :35:06.seen who's going to be vying for the medals here. Just waiting for the

:35:07. > :35:10.official standings after the opening race of the men's omnium, which will

:35:11. > :35:14.hopefully come up in a moment as the riders wind down after their 60 lap

:35:15. > :35:19.effort to get things moving in the competition. Just a word about Mark

:35:20. > :35:24.Cavendish, how the first race panned out? I think it was good, there was

:35:25. > :35:29.a bit of a tactical error, that is what happened, but the form is

:35:30. > :35:32.clearly there. Hansen and Kluge are the first over the line and

:35:33. > :35:38.Cavendish was sixth in his opening event. STUDIO: Cavendish has the

:35:39. > :35:44.individual pursuit and elimination race to come. Early stages, Murray

:35:45. > :35:49.against Del Potro in the gold-medal match for the Men's Singles which is

:35:50. > :35:53.an BBC Four. Murray is serving at the beginning of the first set. Tell

:35:54. > :35:57.you what, I'm glad that the commentators know what's going on in

:35:58. > :36:02.that race, because I had no idea! Cavendish was in sixth. The sprint

:36:03. > :36:06.is easier to understand and in the gold-medal match it is Jason Kenny

:36:07. > :36:14.against Callum Skinner, not for the first time it is an all British

:36:15. > :36:18.affair. Beijing 2008, a pretender to the throne shocked the world to

:36:19. > :36:22.progress to the sprint final, facing the King of the track for the

:36:23. > :36:25.ultimate prize, Olympic gold. COMMENTATOR: This man is

:36:26. > :36:31.unstoppable, he is a legend. Chris Lloyd beating Jason Kenny but an

:36:32. > :36:36.impressive debut for the young prince, a potent of things to come.

:36:37. > :36:40.By 2012, changes in the law showed the Prince selected ahead of the

:36:41. > :36:46.King. Only gold would silence the doubters. Now he is the Olympic

:36:47. > :36:50.sprint champion. Over the next four years at times he appeared to be on

:36:51. > :36:57.a royal walk around but in the Olympic year, a sign of him

:36:58. > :37:02.returning. Jason Kenny is the champion of the world! Kenny's new

:37:03. > :37:06.rival for the sprint phone, Callum Skinner is a powerful adverse array

:37:07. > :37:09.but he's had to work hard for a position in the Royal Court --

:37:10. > :37:14.anniversary. Skinner had a problem trying to stay with the wheels. And

:37:15. > :37:18.as ever and to the frustration of the rest of the world, British

:37:19. > :37:23.cycling royalty can turn it on when it matters most. Eight years on,

:37:24. > :37:33.once again, the Prince and the King are vying for gold. STUDIO: And

:37:34. > :37:37.there they are, a couple of seats away, team-mates and combining to

:37:38. > :37:41.win the team sprint, rivals tonight. Jason Kenny coming into this would

:37:42. > :37:46.have been the hot favourite, very much expected to be in the race, but

:37:47. > :37:48.qualification looked more straightforward for Callum Skinner

:37:49. > :37:55.and a battle for Jason. The battle with Dmitriev was a real challenge

:37:56. > :38:00.for Jason and thankfully, he used the right tactics, he made it but it

:38:01. > :38:04.wasn't easy. This was the decider, Dmitriev had won the first one,

:38:05. > :38:09.Jason the second and it came down to the third race. Keeping the gap

:38:10. > :38:16.between them relatively small, neutralising the acceleration of

:38:17. > :38:19.Dmitriev. Jason is accelerating the whole way to the line, reaching his

:38:20. > :38:24.peak speed at the corner, which is the key thing. Dmitriev capitulated

:38:25. > :38:28.at the end and you can see what it means to him to be in the Olympic

:38:29. > :38:37.final. What advantage does Skinner have, knowing Kenny as well as he

:38:38. > :38:41.does? Can he cover every move? : did very well against Glaetzer, they are

:38:42. > :38:48.similar riders, going for long springs -- Callum. Callum was too

:38:49. > :38:52.fast and canny. I think for Callan and Jason it is tough because you

:38:53. > :38:55.know each other's weaknesses. The other thing is that the coaches

:38:56. > :38:59.don't give you any coaching, they don't give you any tactical advice,

:39:00. > :39:03.they leave you do it because they don't want to show favouritism. You

:39:04. > :39:07.must show your own experience and knowledge to beat your opponent and

:39:08. > :39:21.team-mate and good friend. COMMENTATOR: Underway in the first

:39:22. > :39:26.bronze medal race in the men's match sprint, that is Matt Glaetzer at the

:39:27. > :39:30.back, the 23-year-old from Adelaide. Keeping a close eye on the Russian

:39:31. > :39:35.rider in front of him, walking pace on the opening lap. Denis Dmitriev,

:39:36. > :39:38.a medallist at the World Championships in each of the last

:39:39. > :39:45.four years in this event, never actually listing the lift -- never

:39:46. > :39:50.actually lifting the title. Hard to know which way it is going to go,

:39:51. > :39:54.different abilities. Dmitriev has the engine, Glaetzer has the track

:39:55. > :40:02.craft. Hard to know which one will do best. I think we are in for two

:40:03. > :40:06.close races. Two strong and moss killer sprinters, the pair of them.

:40:07. > :40:13.Dmitriev getting the height and Glaetzer going with him -- strong

:40:14. > :40:18.sprinters. Glaetzer is trying to trick him into coming inside. Now

:40:19. > :40:24.he's raising the pace. Taking the bell and the sprint will be on

:40:25. > :40:28.shortly as Glaetzer tries to close the gap, tries to close the daylight

:40:29. > :40:33.between them but Dmitriev at the moment is holding it but it is

:40:34. > :40:38.Glaetzer, he hasn't got the speed to get past him. Denis Dmitriev now is

:40:39. > :40:42.one win away from claiming the bronze medal. Leading from start to

:40:43. > :40:48.finish and Glaetzer couldn't get past him. Fast as well, 10.1.

:40:49. > :40:56.Showing no signs of fatigue through this competition. The Russians

:40:57. > :41:01.showed real experience to manage Glaetzer there. Glaetzer did a

:41:02. > :41:05.double dip, going back up the track to get some more speed but the

:41:06. > :41:10.Russian had anticipated that, Dmitriev kicking again and holding

:41:11. > :41:15.him off. Dmitriev is the more experienced, he's been around for a

:41:16. > :41:19.long time. He was too good for Glaetzer on that occasion. Leading

:41:20. > :41:24.1-0 in the best of three bronze medal race. The gold medal race

:41:25. > :41:32.between Callum Skinner and Jason Kenny is the defending champion,

:41:33. > :41:38.coming up. Just onto their bikes come you can see them on the apron

:41:39. > :41:44.of the track -- onto their bikes, you can see them.

:41:45. > :41:53.STUDIO: Chris Hoy is alongside me, they draw lots for who goes in front

:41:54. > :41:59.first. That's correct, whoever draws number one goes on the inside and

:42:00. > :42:03.vice versa for number two and then it is reversed, drawing lots if it

:42:04. > :42:08.goes to the decider for the third race. Jason Kenny is looking very

:42:09. > :42:12.short of breath, just tapping his chest. They are wearing aerodynamic

:42:13. > :42:19.suits. Being introduced to the crowd. COMMENTATOR: The Olympic

:42:20. > :42:24.sprint final is just moments away. A man who has been there before,

:42:25. > :42:30.beaten by Chris Hoy in Beijing eight years ago, victorious in London in

:42:31. > :42:33.2012. It is a new experience at this level in this particular event for

:42:34. > :42:40.the man at the front, 23-year-old Callum Skinner. You wouldn't be able

:42:41. > :42:43.to tell, would you? Not from how he has been riding, he has been

:42:44. > :42:50.authoritative and alert and dominant. The greater experience,

:42:51. > :42:55.Jason Kenny, who has been in these situations so many times. And the

:42:56. > :43:00.greater inexperience of kin, for whom everything seems to have

:43:01. > :43:03.clicked over the last few days. I think because of history everyone

:43:04. > :43:09.says it should be Kenny, but Skinner has been riding with such confidence

:43:10. > :43:13.and he looked like an old hand at this over the last few days, the way

:43:14. > :43:18.he has been timing things, being calm under pressure. I wouldn't put

:43:19. > :43:23.it past him that he can take this to Jason. It could be close. You have

:43:24. > :43:27.the added situation where both riders know each other's strengths

:43:28. > :43:34.and weaknesses, the way that they like riding, which is an extra

:43:35. > :43:37.factor. It is an odd experience, sharing a room with the person you

:43:38. > :43:42.are about to fight for the Olympic gold medal, that must have been a

:43:43. > :43:46.very weird night they had. Interesting conversation over

:43:47. > :43:50.breakfast as well. Skinner is starting to wind it up now, Jason

:43:51. > :43:54.Kenny is trying to force him on, trying to get him to force the pace

:43:55. > :44:01.and lead him out. He has given himself a lot of room. Callum

:44:02. > :44:07.Skinner is wearing the black helmet. Taking the bell. He has kept his

:44:08. > :44:12.height, he's going to rush him now. Here comes Kenny down the back

:44:13. > :44:15.straight, closing the gap, really rapidly, coming over the shoulder of

:44:16. > :44:20.Callum Skinner and totally dominates the first ride. Superb sprinting

:44:21. > :44:27.from the experienced figure of Jason Kenny. Well, he lost that one with a

:44:28. > :44:32.lap to go when he was tricked into starting it and Kenny didn't panic,

:44:33. > :44:37.he waited and left himself a lot of room. He also kept his height, so he

:44:38. > :44:39.could rush and accelerate down the back straight. Experience winning

:44:40. > :44:50.there. Jason Kenny already a four-time

:44:51. > :44:55.Olympic champion. He had so much speed coming down the back straight.

:44:56. > :45:01.It was a significant tactical error by Skinner. Already has been an

:45:02. > :45:08.amazing Games for him but he now finds himself one down. An assertive

:45:09. > :45:17.and dominant start for the world champion. Work to do for Callum

:45:18. > :45:23.Skinner, who has to win the next ride, otherwise Jason Kenny will be

:45:24. > :45:27.Olympic champion once again. STUDIO: It is a fascinating race

:45:28. > :45:32.because tactically you have to be really sharp, Chris, and it is about

:45:33. > :45:38.when you go, the height you get and how long you can sustain the effort.

:45:39. > :45:43.It is riding to your strengths and exposing your opponent's weaknesses.

:45:44. > :45:48.It was a perfect ride for Jason Kenny who likes to Russia's opponent

:45:49. > :45:53.and use the slipstream that slingshot effect. Callum Skinner

:45:54. > :46:02.trying to wind the pace birdie. He could not leave it late for

:46:03. > :46:07.acceleration. Jason did not panic. You can see the slingshot. It is

:46:08. > :46:17.phenomenal. Jason had the race won at this stage. Callum Skinner could

:46:18. > :46:24.not get on top of the gear. When you say slingshot? The closer you get to

:46:25. > :46:29.the rider in front of the more you benefit from the slipstream and as

:46:30. > :46:34.you accelerate towards them it is faster, increasing acceleration and

:46:35. > :46:38.when you reach the back wheel you can be two, three kilometres faster.

:46:39. > :46:43.You do not want to be going the same speed as the opponent on the

:46:44. > :46:47.outside. You would just be going wider. Unless you are much faster

:46:48. > :46:54.than them in which case you can do that. And you cannot use elbows. You

:46:55. > :46:56.might have the odd bump if you are passing at the same time but you

:46:57. > :47:06.cannot impede your opponent's progress. We will fast forward.

:47:07. > :47:10.Becky James, the early stages of the women's individual sprint.

:47:11. > :47:17.Simon. It is a conveyor belt. One event moving on from the other and

:47:18. > :47:25.Becky James, who set a new Olympic world-record time. She is the first

:47:26. > :47:30.onto the track, effectively this is the first round. If she wins, she is

:47:31. > :47:35.straight through into the finals, if she loses against her opponent she

:47:36. > :47:43.goes into a repechage. There is a second opportunity should you

:47:44. > :47:48.require it. Because of the seeding, the opponent was the slowest of the

:47:49. > :47:58.qualifiers. This is where she reached the reward of the

:47:59. > :48:04.qualifying. She is 2.5 kilometres an hour faster than her opponent. That

:48:05. > :48:08.is the kind of difference we are talking about. She has herself to a

:48:09. > :48:15.great position. She has to maximise that. Becky James a former world

:48:16. > :48:23.champion in the sprint in 2013 when she won two titles. They take the

:48:24. > :48:28.bell. Becky James crouching, opening up the sprint. A lot for her

:48:29. > :48:34.opponent to do. Struggling to make inroads. Becky James, at the moment,

:48:35. > :48:42.is in control. Smoothly through to the finals. She drag raced that. I

:48:43. > :48:46.have got it here, let's not make it complicated, I will take it from the

:48:47. > :48:49.front and decide how it will be ridden. If you want to take it from

:48:50. > :48:59.me, you will have to come the long way round. Comfortably done. Her

:49:00. > :49:06.opponent tries to get some height and it means nothing. She does not

:49:07. > :49:11.have the engine to use it. Becky James is the fastest qualifier in

:49:12. > :49:21.the field, the 27 rider field. Second quickest. Katy Marchant, the

:49:22. > :49:26.other British rider taking part. This was a strong start by Katy

:49:27. > :49:29.Marchant. Would you say she performed better than expected? When

:49:30. > :49:35.you look at the name she is up against. In training they have been

:49:36. > :49:39.there or thereabouts the same all the time with Katy Marchant even

:49:40. > :49:44.posting faster times odd occasion than Becky James. This is about

:49:45. > :49:49.competition and one of them has been a world champion and the other, it

:49:50. > :49:53.is new. Like Callum Skinner, not being fazed by it, getting stuck

:49:54. > :50:00.into the racing. I think she has quite a big gap because of great

:50:01. > :50:03.qualification. Another two and a half kilometre difference between

:50:04. > :50:10.her and her opponent. Second position. Following from the off on

:50:11. > :50:15.this. Would she be happy with that? I do not know her preferences. I

:50:16. > :50:22.expect she can win from the front, riding back here. She is up against

:50:23. > :50:27.Monique Sullivan from Canada, 27 years of age, who won three gold

:50:28. > :50:31.medals in the Pan American Games in Toronto, including the sprint. It

:50:32. > :50:39.was in the team sprint here with Canada finishing seventh. Sullivan's

:50:40. > :50:44.job is to make it as hard as possible for Katy Marchant to come

:50:45. > :50:50.around. She has to ride it tactically and make it the most

:50:51. > :50:54.distance possible. If Katy Marchant tries to come around the outside she

:50:55. > :51:00.will start to accelerate to make her do a further distance all the time.

:51:01. > :51:05.Halfway between the red and blue line, about four, five metres

:51:06. > :51:08.further around the track than riding on the black line at the bottom

:51:09. > :51:13.which is why they are forcing them to come around and the trailing

:51:14. > :51:21.rider will try to keep the benefit of height and surprise so they can

:51:22. > :51:26.get better acceleration. If you come underneath, I am going

:51:27. > :51:30.to close the door. It is a skill to ride around the track looking

:51:31. > :51:35.backwards. Imagine along the road, looking backwards like that. It is

:51:36. > :51:41.hard to do. Never normally advisable, but an essential skill in

:51:42. > :51:48.this event! As they take the bell. Katy Marchant. On the outside.

:51:49. > :51:55.Monique Sullivan was still looking around before opening up. Katy

:51:56. > :52:01.Marchant stole a march. Forced to go around the outside. She has the

:52:02. > :52:05.speed with room to spare. I think Sullivan would have been relegated

:52:06. > :52:10.because twice she came out to the sprinter's line and impeded the

:52:11. > :52:14.progress of her opponent. The sprint coach, the happiest man in the

:52:15. > :52:18.centre of the track at the moment. Straightforward progress for the

:52:19. > :52:25.British women so far. At the moment, a mirror image of the men's event so

:52:26. > :52:29.far. The sprinters could not be happier. Becky James and Katy

:52:30. > :52:30.Marchant are straight through into the finals without the need for a

:52:31. > :52:43.repechage. STUDIO: Meanwhile, Andy Murray has a

:52:44. > :52:47.break of serve in the first set against one Martine Del Potro in the

:52:48. > :52:53.gold medal match. Andy Murray trying to defend his title and that is live

:52:54. > :53:02.on BBC Four. Early stages of the first set. We will join it later on

:53:03. > :53:08.BBC One. What a day for Britain's Olympians. Two gold medals for Max

:53:09. > :53:11.Whitlock in the gymnastics. Louis Smith taking silver in that and

:53:12. > :53:18.Justin Rose taking the gold medal in the golf.

:53:19. > :53:19.Over to Simon. Next race on the track features Virginie Cueff from

:53:20. > :53:43.France and she is up against someone who crashed badly in

:53:44. > :53:52.the keirin yesterday. A rider keen to make amends in the match sprint.

:53:53. > :53:59.Virginie Cueff the European bronze medallist in the key in. And Lee Wai

:54:00. > :54:05.Sze from Hong Kong. This is a 16th final. It is not the best of three

:54:06. > :54:10.until the latter stages. The winner goes through and the loser has a

:54:11. > :54:13.chance in the repechage. As we go through the heat the opponents get

:54:14. > :54:27.closer and closer together in terms of ability. Exciting is not what we

:54:28. > :54:30.wanted to see for the British riders at this stage, we wanted to see a

:54:31. > :54:38.boring ride away from their opponent.

:54:39. > :54:44.That is pretty much what they did. Becky James and Katy Marchant have

:54:45. > :55:05.been really good so far. This is the rider Cameron on Lee Wai Sze. --

:55:06. > :55:09.rider camera. Virginie Cueff is for -- forcing Lee to keep her wits

:55:10. > :55:28.about her. She got caught out. Lee coming back fast. It will be a

:55:29. > :55:34.good race. I think she has this one. She should have the speed to win and

:55:35. > :55:36.she does, she overhauls and overpowers the Frenchwoman. And

:55:37. > :55:43.looks rather casual as she winds down the back straight. Virginie

:55:44. > :55:50.Cueff had a good go, throwing so many little wobbles and managing to

:55:51. > :55:59.disguise the ones she wanted to get in front but in the end did not have

:56:00. > :56:05.the legs to go with it. Virginie Cueff got herself in a position she

:56:06. > :56:13.wanted to be in bid did not have the strength to hold off the challenge

:56:14. > :56:16.of the rider from Hong Kong. Lee showing no ill effects from the

:56:17. > :56:21.crash in the semifinals in the women's Kieron. You can see the

:56:22. > :56:35.marks from it on the outside of her leg. I am sure it is not the only

:56:36. > :56:42.mark from that crash. Elis Ligtlee from the Netherlands. You may

:56:43. > :56:50.remember she won the keirin yesterday, beating Becky James. Up

:56:51. > :57:00.against the Chinese rider who is already a gold medallist. She was

:57:01. > :57:09.absolutely delighted. A very popular winner. She had already shown her

:57:10. > :57:14.qualities in the individual sprint in this event last year in the World

:57:15. > :57:19.Championships when she made it to the final. She also has a bronze

:57:20. > :57:24.medal from the World Championships this year in London in the 500

:57:25. > :57:27.metres time trial. Good across the board in the sprint events but she

:57:28. > :57:29.landed a big one with the keirin gold medal. No doubt has barely

:57:30. > :57:52.stopped smiling ever since. Likely not to accelerate sharply.

:57:53. > :58:01.Right now, controlling things and deciding how the will be. Slowly

:58:02. > :58:12.accelerating as they come around with two laps to go. Elis Ligtlee

:58:13. > :58:17.looking back every second or so. Gong Jinjie is starting to make a

:58:18. > :58:23.move early. They had yet to take the bell and the sprint is on already

:58:24. > :58:28.between these two. That was a surprise that Elis Ligtlee let that

:58:29. > :58:35.happen. She is now going for gas, which I think his confidence. Coming

:58:36. > :58:39.around the outside. She is flying as they come into the finishing

:58:40. > :58:43.straight and that is the confidence a gold medal can do for you. Elis

:58:44. > :58:51.Ligtlee, when she is in full flight, she takes some stopping. Here we see

:58:52. > :58:56.once again Elis Ligtlee, who gave ground initially at the start of the

:58:57. > :59:00.sprint to the rider from China, but she had more than enough power and

:59:01. > :59:08.speed to retrieve the situation and go through. See how calm she was.

:59:09. > :59:12.Calm all the way through that race. The expression belying the fact she

:59:13. > :59:17.is travelling at 65 kilometres per hour. Elis Ligtlee, the Olympic

:59:18. > :59:23.champion in the keirin is safely through. Becky James, Katy Marchant,

:59:24. > :59:33.Lee and Elis Ligtlee are through. We are now watching Miriam felt from

:59:34. > :59:41.Germany. She won the bronze in the team sprint and was Olympic champion

:59:42. > :59:55.with her team-mate Kristina Vogel, who we'll see later on.

:59:56. > :00:04.Zhong Tianshi from China is the world sprint champion so Miriam felt

:00:05. > :00:09.has a tough job here. Although seeding is important it is

:00:10. > :00:15.not everything. Elis Ligtlee just gets through that first round and it

:00:16. > :00:20.was an incredibly powerful ride. Unbelievable confidence with a lap

:00:21. > :00:23.to go to give away the lead like that and be confident you can

:00:24. > :00:27.accelerate and come around the outside. China have so many good

:00:28. > :00:35.sprinters they cannot all be in the Olympic Games so it was a 1-2 for

:00:36. > :00:40.China in the World Championship. We do not have all of the best track

:00:41. > :00:43.cyclists in the world because of the way the allocation of places has to

:00:44. > :00:48.be spread around the various continents of the world.

:00:49. > :00:55.We have the very best, but not necessarily the depth we would have

:00:56. > :00:59.at the World Championships. But the stakes are higher which is why we

:01:00. > :01:02.have such fantastic times being set up white Miriam Welte is a champion

:01:03. > :01:09.in the team sprint. Great partnership with vocal in the team

:01:10. > :01:17.sprint. Still going slow here with coming up to a lack of a half to go

:01:18. > :01:26.-- Kristina Vogel. Keeping it at the bottom of the track. Just over a lap

:01:27. > :01:31.to go so it may come down to let celebration. Miriam Welte has sensed

:01:32. > :01:39.an opportunity. She is at the front. Zhong Tiahshi drawing level pretty

:01:40. > :01:45.quickly. Getting her nose in front even before they got into the

:01:46. > :01:50.banking. Dominant sprinting from the Chinese ride and she has won by a

:01:51. > :01:57.mile. Amazing acceleration. 11.3, because the sprint bartered so late.

:01:58. > :02:03.A glimpse of how strongly she can exonerate -- started so late. That

:02:04. > :02:10.is the most usable weapon in the competition. Germany will be hoping

:02:11. > :02:22.that Miriam Welte's compatriot and team-mate from the team sprint is in

:02:23. > :02:31.better position. Bronze-medallist in the sprint this year, the world

:02:32. > :02:40.champion in 2014 and 2015. Confirmation of the race we've just

:02:41. > :02:43.seen, heat five. And a reminder that is an excellent start to the

:02:44. > :02:50.competition from the British put a view, as Kristina Vogel -- point of

:02:51. > :02:55.view. Becky James on the left and Katie Marchant, deep in conversation

:02:56. > :03:00.and Poland are -- and no wonder they look happy, they are both true and

:03:01. > :03:05.the fastest two qualifiers. Couldn't be better. All is well with them. A

:03:06. > :03:14.long way to go in this competition. The next heat features Kristina

:03:15. > :03:18.Vogel, up against van Riessen. Yesterday she wrote up the fence and

:03:19. > :03:21.back down again without falling off. She already has the prize for the

:03:22. > :03:29.best bike and a lot of the competition. The first all-rounder

:03:30. > :03:33.to do that, going like that and finishing the race. Amazing that she

:03:34. > :03:44.hasn't been a track cyclist for very long, only a year or so. Nobody told

:03:45. > :03:48.her that you can't do that. She drove up the coloured hoardings to

:03:49. > :04:03.avoid a crash. It shows you what kind of speed they were going, going

:04:04. > :04:09.up a 90 degrees wall. About 2Gs. About 26 degrees of bank on average

:04:10. > :04:18.for the bend. What do we think here, Vogel? We are getting closer and

:04:19. > :04:23.closer in ability as we go through these matches. Yes, the last few of

:04:24. > :04:28.these heats should be tighter as we go on. Vogel is the more

:04:29. > :04:32.experienced. She is choosing to do the controlling. Kristina Vogel

:04:33. > :04:38.leading from the fund, leading out the sprint here. And she's looking

:04:39. > :04:44.strong as they go into the banking to the left. Van Riessen from the

:04:45. > :04:48.Netherlands not able to make any inroads and Kristina Vogel, another

:04:49. > :04:53.of the favourites for the gold medal in the women's sprint, safely

:04:54. > :04:58.through to the finals without any need for the repechage. She's always

:04:59. > :05:04.fun to watch, she enjoys her racing, whether she wins or loses. Great

:05:05. > :05:10.interviews afterwards, very succinct and she always has some fun to

:05:11. > :05:18.inject into it. So, a good performance from Kristina Vogel.

:05:19. > :05:25.Becky James, Katie Marchant, Zhong Tiahshi, Christa Vina Vogel --

:05:26. > :05:33.Kristina Vogel and Ellis Ligtlee have gone through. STUDIO: In the

:05:34. > :05:39.tennis, Andy Murray went one break up but Del Potro with his huge

:05:40. > :05:43.forehand broke back and celebrations from the Argentine fans. Murray had

:05:44. > :06:02.three break points on the Del Potro serve and... He made sure of it. He

:06:03. > :06:08.leads 3-1 in the first few Games, which took 27 minutes. It is very

:06:09. > :06:12.attritional. We are going to join the tennis later. So many questions

:06:13. > :06:17.for Chris Hoy, tactics in the sprint and also the shape of the riders.

:06:18. > :06:21.Some of them are tiny, they look like jockeys and then you get bigger

:06:22. > :06:26.and more powerful. We see it in the women's sprint in particular,

:06:27. > :06:30.Ligtlee, she is six foot one and some of the riders like Kristina

:06:31. > :06:35.Vogel, the world champion and Olympic champion, she is about eight

:06:36. > :06:40.inches shorter. You see different shapes because it isn't all about

:06:41. > :06:45.power to weight, it is about power to the frontal area, aerodynamic

:06:46. > :06:49.efficiency versus your power. If you are small and you don't have a lot

:06:50. > :06:53.of power, you can go fast but if you are huge and you have a lot of

:06:54. > :06:59.power, you can push more air and it balances out. You've got to be

:07:00. > :07:04.talented Lee is cute -- you got to be tactically astute and to be able

:07:05. > :07:11.to ride around with your head like that. Becky James, how impressive?

:07:12. > :07:15.Very impressed, phenomenal qualification right to break the

:07:16. > :07:19.Olympic record and she was riding with great confidence, she didn't

:07:20. > :07:27.have to do anything spectacular, keep them close, don't let them make

:07:28. > :07:32.the gap. Look at the gap opening up, able to shut her down, not trouble

:07:33. > :07:36.at all. This would give a huge confidence. She has had a protein

:07:37. > :07:41.shake, she'll be warmed down and recovered and looking forward to the

:07:42. > :07:49.next round. The good news for her is that her team-mate Katie Marchant,

:07:50. > :07:59.starting behind, is in good form. It is the best form we've seen from

:08:00. > :08:06.both, it's amazing. Katie will have great confidence, attacking from the

:08:07. > :08:12.back. Cruising around the outside. 10.78 for her, a personal best in

:08:13. > :08:16.the time trial. Both looking happy with themselves, they are cooling

:08:17. > :08:20.down and I bet they are saying that they can't believe it. They will do

:08:21. > :08:24.what Kenny and skin are doing if they keep winning, meeting each

:08:25. > :08:31.other in the gold medal race. Then you are not so chatty. That is a

:08:32. > :08:35.long way from now, there is a lot of hard racing to come. Ideally that

:08:36. > :08:40.will be the situation but plenty of racing before that. Soon we will see

:08:41. > :08:46.Jason Kenny against Callum Skinner, Round 2, Kenny having won the first

:08:47. > :08:50.one quite easily. What would you do if you asking? You have to

:08:51. > :08:56.neutralise adjacent's strongest point, his peak speed, don't let him

:08:57. > :09:03.create big gaps, don't let him rush you, keeping close. Otherwise you

:09:04. > :09:08.can be sneaky, go for the long one off the start, it is rarely seen,

:09:09. > :09:14.you can do it if you have no other options. Jason will be wary about

:09:15. > :09:18.this, he tried it in the final in 2012 and he nearly got him, losing

:09:19. > :09:23.by this much. It means you have a smaller gear, you have the full

:09:24. > :09:29.standing start effort, open as big a gap as possible, force your opponent

:09:30. > :09:34.to chase and then it is a straight drag race. Can't wait to see how

:09:35. > :09:38.he's going to play it but that is still to come. Let's bring you

:09:39. > :09:40.up-to-date on a flurry of gold medals from an extraordinary Sunday

:09:41. > :09:51.at the Olympics. Until today, Great Britain had never

:09:52. > :09:55.won Olympic gymnastics gold but two have come along in a couple of

:09:56. > :09:59.towers. Take a bow, Max Whitlock, winning the floor and be pommel

:10:00. > :10:08.horse. Team-mate Louis Smith took silver on the pommel horse. Justin

:10:09. > :10:11.Rose held his nerve to hold off the Open champion Henrik Stenson to

:10:12. > :10:17.become the first Olympic the medal champion in 112 years. He said that

:10:18. > :10:21.the people who doubted golf were wrong, it is something he focused on

:10:22. > :10:28.and had been at the forefront of his mind for the last few months. Nick

:10:29. > :10:31.Dempsey has faced Britain's first medal of the Olympics sailing

:10:32. > :10:40.regatta with silver in the R S X windsurfing. That is now official.

:10:41. > :10:45.And there is another British medal definitely on the way in the water

:10:46. > :10:56.as Giles Scott has guaranteed gold in the men's finn which will be

:10:57. > :11:04.confirmed on Tuesday. Just to let you know what is coming your way.

:11:05. > :11:08.Andy Murray has the edge in the opening set. Shortly we are going to

:11:09. > :11:14.bring you the second race of the men's sprint final. It is a best of

:11:15. > :11:29.three contest and Kenny is 1-0 up against Callum Skinner, the all

:11:30. > :11:35.British if air. -- affair. Possible third race in the men's sprint if it

:11:36. > :11:40.goes to the decider. And the elimination race later for the

:11:41. > :11:47.Omnium riders featuring Mark Cavendish. And Usain Bolt going for

:11:48. > :11:57.gold medal number nine... Number seven, isn't it? The 100 metres for

:11:58. > :12:02.the third Olympics in a row. You have the website to check things

:12:03. > :12:06.that I can't remember! The medals table, the gold medal for Giles

:12:07. > :12:12.Scott hasn't been added yet, so it shows Team GB in third place behind

:12:13. > :12:16.China but that could change. It will change, possibly after the men's

:12:17. > :12:20.sprint finals. Shirley Robertson and give us the details from the sailing

:12:21. > :12:31.today. She is actually with Giles Scott. No emotion earlier but I saw

:12:32. > :12:36.it today. Yeah, you did. You are right, I try and stay very

:12:37. > :12:40.level-headed. There is no way I could have done that after that

:12:41. > :12:46.race, it really got the better of me, it really dawned on me what my

:12:47. > :12:51.coat and I have put together over the last four years. It is a very

:12:52. > :12:55.special moment. Four years ago you watched Ben Ainslie winning his gold

:12:56. > :13:00.medal. Knowing you were world-class and would have had a shot at gold,

:13:01. > :13:07.four years later it is yours. Yeah it is. Four years ago, I've set it

:13:08. > :13:12.time and time again, it was a pretty dark place but what we've managed to

:13:13. > :13:14.do from building on that disappointment, but a great

:13:15. > :13:21.campaign, coming to Rio and winning the way I have, it is just amazing.

:13:22. > :13:27.Such amazing history in the finn ever since 2000, Iain Percy and then

:13:28. > :13:32.Ben winning everything and putting my name alongside theirs, very

:13:33. > :13:39.special to me. You are about to hit the shore. This is a very lovely

:13:40. > :13:43.moment. The media are there and your life will change for ever. Yeah I'm

:13:44. > :13:50.not sure that my life will change for ever, I hope it won't. The

:13:51. > :13:55.Olympic Games has been such a huge part of my life ever since I was a

:13:56. > :14:00.teenager. It has been ten years of solid work to get here. I'm just

:14:01. > :14:05.really proud of what we've managed to put together. Everyone assumed

:14:06. > :14:11.you would win gold. Perhaps summarise how hard it has been. It

:14:12. > :14:15.is a funny thing to come to a regatta as big as the Olympic Games

:14:16. > :14:21.and have everyone telling you it is a sure thing, not just the media but

:14:22. > :14:26.people around you, people in your team, they just assume that you are

:14:27. > :14:31.going to deliver. Actually going through and delivering isn't as

:14:32. > :14:35.simple as a lot of people think. You know, it is incredibly stressful and

:14:36. > :14:41.hard work but once you manage it, it is incredible. You have won it in

:14:42. > :14:45.style, you must compete in the medal race but no one can beat you. Giles

:14:46. > :14:52.Scott, 2016 Olympic champion, congratulations. Well done to him.

:14:53. > :14:59.There will be a huge cheer from Ben Ainslie because he will go back and

:15:00. > :15:02.join him in a part of the team building up to next summer's

:15:03. > :15:06.America's Cup. He came here with a lot of pressure on him and he

:15:07. > :15:10.delivered. What about Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner? We will go to

:15:11. > :15:14.their deciding race. Anna Meares is going to have to go through the

:15:15. > :15:19.repechage if she's going to defend her title because she was just

:15:20. > :15:34.beaten. Yes, she was beaten by an old rival of

:15:35. > :15:38.hers, Simona Krupeckaite. Jason Kenny is the defending champion, he

:15:39. > :15:40.knows that he is faster, Callum Skinner knows that he is younger, is

:15:41. > :15:50.that any advantage? It is strange because for every

:15:51. > :15:53.competition, national, international, you have coaches

:15:54. > :15:58.telling you, this is how you will attack this. Looking at videos of

:15:59. > :16:06.the opponent and discussing every way to beat them. Because it is GB

:16:07. > :16:11.versus GB, all bets are off. You are on your own, use your initiative and

:16:12. > :16:16.experience and for that, Jason has the upper hand, he knows this, how

:16:17. > :16:22.to deal with it, the tactics, the tricks. That is not to say Callum

:16:23. > :16:31.cannot do it. He has speed, more length on his sprint. He uses a

:16:32. > :16:34.bigger gear. Unless something out of your Murray happens I think Jason

:16:35. > :16:42.will get the gold medal, making five, amazing, and a silver medal,

:16:43. > :16:46.with the keirin to come. And in total medals, it goes Bradley

:16:47. > :16:54.Wiggins at the top, then you, and then Jason. Steve has five gold

:16:55. > :17:08.medals and one bronze. He would have five go medals -- gold medals. And

:17:09. > :17:16.Laura has three medals. They are engaged, they are a couple. We can

:17:17. > :17:27.go to Matthew Glaetzer and Denis Dmitriev.

:17:28. > :17:33.Glaetzer has to win this, otherwise the Russian will claim the medal

:17:34. > :17:51.having won the race earlier. Fatigue is starting to come into

:17:52. > :17:55.this. It has helped spreading it out, it takes a long time to reach a

:17:56. > :18:05.conclusion, but it gives the rider is the opportunity in theory to

:18:06. > :18:12.perform at a higher level. It was quite concentrated. Nevertheless,

:18:13. > :18:19.they have it all to do, and Glaetzer in front position, so an opportunity

:18:20. > :18:26.to try and control this one. Dmitriev looks like he is cruising

:18:27. > :18:32.along, just waiting for it to start. Glaetzer has decided it has to be

:18:33. > :18:40.faster if he is to keep it together. No opportunity to gain height. He

:18:41. > :18:45.finished with a silver in the World Championships. Will he be in with a

:18:46. > :18:52.chance of claiming any medal here? Dmitriev is too quick in the closing

:18:53. > :18:57.metres of the second sprint and the bronze medal goes to Russia and

:18:58. > :19:07.Denis Dmitriev. In the end, Glaetzer was beaten fair and square. He did

:19:08. > :19:17.everything he could. He was just, again, outclassed from an energy

:19:18. > :19:20.perspective, as well. Glaetzer finishing fourth in both his events,

:19:21. > :19:26.the team sprint and the match sprint.

:19:27. > :19:33.The bronze medal for Russia. This is the latest from the tennis and they

:19:34. > :19:37.have been breaking each other's serve. Andy Murray was 4-2 up. And

:19:38. > :19:57.then Del Potro, with break point here, broke again. It is effectively

:19:58. > :20:02.back on serve. Andy Murray serving now to make it 4-4. If Jason Kenny

:20:03. > :20:10.wins this race, he is the gold medallists. Callum Skinner has to

:20:11. > :20:16.win it to take it to a decider. COMMENTATOR: A big moment to for

:20:17. > :20:20.Callum Skinner, who was well beaten in the first ride. He will have

:20:21. > :20:24.drawn confidence from his performances, assertive and

:20:25. > :20:29.lightning quick. He needs to beat Jason Kenny. He needs to win this

:20:30. > :20:35.race to keep his chance of a gold medal alive. The happiest man on the

:20:36. > :20:41.line at the moment is Justin Grace, the sprint coach, the only person on

:20:42. > :20:47.the boards at the moment who cannot lose. What a position to be in for

:20:48. > :20:51.Great Britain. For these two, it is about a gold medal, and they want

:20:52. > :21:01.it, no matter who they compete against. That is not just the view

:21:02. > :21:09.of the camera, but the view he has, looking behind at Callum Skinner,

:21:10. > :21:14.Jason Kenny. He is good, even among sprinters, like his head is on a

:21:15. > :21:19.swivel. They pack is over many years to keep an eye on an opponent

:21:20. > :21:25.without looking forward. It is a skill that is taken as given.

:21:26. > :21:30.Skinner has to stop Kenny using his strength. He needs to get in control

:21:31. > :21:38.of this one. At the moment, Kenny is calling the shots, pace wise.

:21:39. > :21:45.Skinner starting to move about. He is trying to unsettle Jason. Trying

:21:46. > :21:51.to keep him guessing as to what he will do. He has the height, which is

:21:52. > :21:59.why Jason is pulling away at speed, forcing him down the track. Jason

:22:00. > :22:03.Kenny on the brink of a fifth Olympic gold medal, if he can win

:22:04. > :22:11.this race, but Callum Skinner will strain every sinew to draw level at

:22:12. > :22:16.1-1 and set up a deciding race. One lap to go and the sprint is armed

:22:17. > :22:22.with Kenny at the front, Callum Skinner trying to claw his way back.

:22:23. > :22:28.Jason Kenny has got this. Jason Kenny wins the gold medal for the

:22:29. > :22:32.second time in his career, the Olympic sprint champion. Gold medal

:22:33. > :22:40.number five in the career of Jason Kenny. He joins Sir Bradley Wiggins

:22:41. > :22:48.and Sir Steve Redgrave on five. Only Chris Hoy is ahead of him and Jason

:22:49. > :22:53.Kenny wins the final. It was a win - win for British cycling with gold

:22:54. > :22:58.and silver. A spectacular silver medal after a series of excellent

:22:59. > :23:02.performances from Callum Skinner in his first Olympic Games. He has a

:23:03. > :23:08.gold medal and now a silver. There was nothing he could have done. He

:23:09. > :23:13.tried everything. Riding tactically very well in that second round but

:23:14. > :23:18.he could not do anything about it. We have seen Jason Kenny in

:23:19. > :23:21.incredible form. The word we have attached to him is confidence. That

:23:22. > :23:31.is what we saw. He made a slight error a couple of days ago, overcame

:23:32. > :23:35.that quickly. Powerful. The fastest sprint of the series done in the

:23:36. > :23:37.final of the series which shows the form he is in. And he still has the

:23:38. > :23:53.keirin. STUDIO: The keirin could give him

:23:54. > :23:57.gold medal number six. At the beginning of the Olympics in the

:23:58. > :24:03.opening ceremony programme, Chris Hoy said, I tell you now, Jason

:24:04. > :24:10.Kenny will win three gold medals. Why did you have so much faith in

:24:11. > :24:14.him? First, the Times they were doing in training were exceptional.

:24:15. > :24:22.9.55 in training replicated here in the time trial. That is his family.

:24:23. > :24:31.Fantastic. Second, because he can deal with pressure. He soaks up this

:24:32. > :24:35.pressure. Getting a nice picture! He is not affected by the pressure. He

:24:36. > :24:41.deals with it and can produce his best when it counts. He will do a

:24:42. > :24:50.Pat Cash! Climbing over the railings, or an Andy Murray. A word

:24:51. > :24:57.on Callum Skinner. It is easy to go on about Jason and with good reason,

:24:58. > :25:02.Callum, for me, has possibly been the rider of the games so far,

:25:03. > :25:05.coming from the security and winning a gold medal in team sprint, dealing

:25:06. > :25:09.with the pressure and getting a silver medal in the sprint, you

:25:10. > :25:17.cannot overstate how impressive that is. You can see the exhaustion.

:25:18. > :25:22.Jason Kenny will not feel as tired. It may hurt, but not as much when

:25:23. > :25:27.you have won. They embrace, the team-mates against each other in the

:25:28. > :25:32.gold medal race for the individual sprint providing a gold and silver

:25:33. > :25:36.medal for the team effort and continuing the dominant run of

:25:37. > :25:41.British cycling. There are many nations, the top dogs, they can have

:25:42. > :25:47.personality clashes and issues with each other and in the GB team, when

:25:48. > :25:51.we are number one and number two in the world, they will battle on the

:25:52. > :25:57.track but they are friends, genuinely, off the track, which

:25:58. > :26:02.makes me proud to see. Look at that. GB one and two. Amazing. We will

:26:03. > :26:09.look at the final race. Chris. Jason was trying to keep

:26:10. > :26:16.Callum close and Callum should try to go straight over the top, but he

:26:17. > :26:22.hesitated. He could not go for the gap because Jason had it covered.

:26:23. > :26:28.Jason was waiting. He made his move. Jason had it covered. So much gas in

:26:29. > :26:32.the tank. Phenomenal power. The exciting thing for the future is

:26:33. > :26:36.Callum Skinner will be around a long time and so too is Jason Kenny.

:26:37. > :26:45.Philip Hindes is not going anywhere soon. Ryan Owens, the reserve in the

:26:46. > :26:51.team sprint. 19, 20. The future is looking bright. Very soon, I think,

:26:52. > :26:56.Jason Kenny will head to Jill Douglas. You will hear that on BBC

:26:57. > :27:00.Two, where we will show the medal ceremony for that. And we have

:27:01. > :27:06.cycling with Mark Cavendish in the men's on the, and of course the

:27:07. > :27:11.tennis, where Andy Murray is playing Del Potro. But we can look at the

:27:12. > :27:20.medals table. I am excited about this. Great Britain in second place.

:27:21. > :27:26.37 medals in total and bear in mind in Beijing, it was 47 total, 19 gold

:27:27. > :27:33.medals. Great Britain are flying and there could be more to come. Join us

:27:34. > :27:37.on BBC Two. Jessica Ennis-Hill winning a silver medal in the

:27:38. > :27:41.heptathlon will be joining us. We will chat to her and have more

:27:42. > :27:47.live-action and building up to the early hours, where Usain Bolt will

:27:48. > :27:52.attempt to defend his title for the third Olympics in a row in the 100

:27:53. > :28:00.metres. Over to BBC Two now, goodbye.

:28:01. > :28:13.You look up. 100 metres. Stretching before you.

:28:14. > :28:24.Four years' hard graft. Ten seconds to execute the plan. Heads down.

:28:25. > :28:32.Focus. Too soon, and you are out. Get the mind in gear and the body

:28:33. > :28:44.will follow. They get away first time.

:28:45. > :28:50.Drive. Accelerate. If you don't have power, you will not have speed.

:28:51. > :28:59.You are the architect. This is your moment. Usain Bolt! One chance to be

:29:00. > :29:01.the greatest. To make history when it counts.

:29:02. > :29:08.Simple but fiendish. That's how you like it, you two.

:29:09. > :29:11.That's how I describe Paul. Yeah.
