He is down in eighth. Great Britain's Max Whitlock is the floor

:00:15.:00:22.

Olympic champion. Diego Hypolito takes over in front of his home

:00:23.:00:30.

crowd with his team-mate in bronze. What a floor final. Max Whitlock has

:00:31.:00:43.

made history! You are witnessing history here for

:00:44.:00:46.

Brazil, and history for Great Britain.

:00:47.:00:50.

Diego Hypolito and Arthur Mariano take silver and bronze in front of

:00:51.:00:55.

this home crowd. But the Olympic champion is Max

:00:56.:00:58.

Whitlock. What a start to the finals. We were

:00:59.:01:04.

hoping to come today to see a gold medal on the pommel horse and even

:01:05.:01:09.

before we have started with a gold medal on the floor.

:01:10.:01:13.

Max is such a cool customer. He got the bronze in the all-around...

:01:14.:01:18.

Dan Keating is speechless here. I am lost for words.

:01:19.:01:23.

Unbelievable. I thought the chance we had got a gold medal would be in

:01:24.:01:28.

the pommel horse. What a gymnast, the Olympic champion

:01:29.:01:33.

on floor. All he could do was post his very

:01:34.:01:38.

best. He was third up in the competition and that is exactly what

:01:39.:01:42.

he did. He posted a score and said, beat that if you can and nobody

:01:43.:01:45.

could. They couldn't.

:01:46.:01:53.

What a moment. I am sure he was thinking of using this time to focus

:01:54.:01:58.

on pommel horse. Now he is celebrating being Olympic champion

:01:59.:02:02.

on floor. Floor is such a special piece, the

:02:03.:02:07.

one piece of Olympic agreement everybody knows and understands and

:02:08.:02:10.

can relate to. You said, Dan, that was his best

:02:11.:02:14.

performance since he has been here. The execution was the best I have

:02:15.:02:18.

seen for a long time. When Kenzo Shirai made a few

:02:19.:02:23.

mistakes, that is when the door really opened.

:02:24.:02:26.

He has done it. That will take the pressure from the horse, he is

:02:27.:02:33.

Olympic champion already. There was so much pressure on his

:02:34.:02:37.

shoulders, so much expectation. It was about whether or not Max and

:02:38.:02:42.

Lewis could make history on pommel horse. People were hoping he would

:02:43.:02:46.

sneak in with a medal. Nobody expected it to be a gold one.

:02:47.:02:53.

Confirmation that Max Whitlock is floor Olympic

:02:54.:02:59.

Kristian Thomas for Great Britain finishes in seventh.

:03:00.:03:06.

Now it is time to him to try and focus. The pommel horse final is in

:03:07.:03:13.

an hour. He has to receive his medal, that is how it works in these

:03:14.:03:17.

individual apparatus finals. He will get prepared, we will hear

:03:18.:03:26.

the national anthem, then he will warm up for the pommel horse.

:03:27.:03:34.

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

:03:35.:03:40.

across the board. Across history, across any time

:03:41.:03:45.

before, and emphatic, elegant performance from Max Whitlock. Still

:03:46.:03:49.

be pommel horse final to come where he was expected to excel and perhaps

:03:50.:03:56.

break the gymnastics records for Britain.

:03:57.:04:04.

It has flawed us but we're not complaining, a history maker in

:04:05.:04:05.

gymnastics. There could be a whole lot of

:04:06.:04:10.

goodies you this evening. I am so looking forward to this, you

:04:11.:04:15.

could hear the emotion of the commentary team for the gold medal

:04:16.:04:18.

ceremony. What an evening ahead. Andy Murray

:04:19.:04:24.

on that tennis court against Juan Martin Del Potro. Justin Rose in the

:04:25.:04:31.

golf ahead of Henrik Stenson. In the velodrome, a guaranteed gold

:04:32.:04:36.

and silver, Jason Kenny taking on Callum Skinner.

:04:37.:04:40.

We could get more from the gymnastics, Max Whitlock has done it

:04:41.:04:45.

on the floor, up against Louis Smith on the pommel horse, an even

:04:46.:04:49.

stronger routine for him. Could be one of the great British Olympic

:04:50.:04:50.

evenings of sport ever. Such a variety of sports and

:04:51.:05:38.

obviously the biggest name in global sport trying to win the 100 metres

:05:39.:05:42.

for a third successive Games. Let us catch our breath and recap

:05:43.:05:46.

what has happened so far. Max Whitlock has taken gold on the

:05:47.:06:00.

floor, a first ever medal of any colour for a British gymnast on the

:06:01.:06:05.

floor. It is history for Max Whitlock, the Olympic champion and

:06:06.:06:10.

still has the pommel horse to come. Over at the golf, Justin Rose and

:06:11.:06:14.

Henrik Stenson are locked in battle. Both 14 under par, rose Spade is

:06:15.:06:20.

turning shot to get him onto the green and save par.

:06:21.:06:28.

-- Rose played a stunning shot. Rajiv Ouseph, the British number

:06:29.:06:35.

one, beat Sho Sasaki, to finish the group stages with a 100% record.

:06:36.:06:48.

Jemima Sumgong has one women's marathon gold. Alyson Dixon was 28th

:06:49.:06:53.

for Great Britain. This is our plan. You need to be

:06:54.:06:59.

flexible because we want to catch as much light as we can.

:07:00.:07:04.

As much live as we can. We will be joined by the victorious

:07:05.:07:16.

swimmers, Britain's best ever swimming performance at an Olympic

:07:17.:07:19.

Games. And showing you the best of the

:07:20.:07:25.

golf. And the men's gold medal match in the tennis.

:07:26.:07:34.

Max Whitlock and Louis Smith in the pommel horse.

:07:35.:07:42.

Then the first of a best of three in the men's sprint final. Jason Kenny

:07:43.:07:46.

defending champion against Callum Skinner.

:07:47.:07:51.

Much later, the time to tune in for Usain Bolt defending his title in

:07:52.:07:56.

the 100 metres final, up against Justin Gatlin.

:07:57.:07:59.

Let as head straight back to the gymnastics and get more from Matt

:08:00.:08:03.

Baker. A historic day for British gymnastics.

:08:04.:08:09.

We did not expect it to happen on the floor. Max Whitlock has two

:08:10.:08:17.

finals, the first was the floor where we knew he had a chance, we

:08:18.:08:23.

thought he may be able to sneak a bronze. But he has become Olympic

:08:24.:08:31.

champion on floor. We were in the commentary box, and

:08:32.:08:35.

you said you had no one to celebrate with, what a routine.

:08:36.:08:41.

He did fantastically, it helped him being up so early in the ranking. He

:08:42.:08:46.

was unable to sit and watch. He looked more nervous waiting for a

:08:47.:08:52.

score that he did first going up to do his routine.

:08:53.:08:54.

We said he threaded his way through this routine. It is so graceful,

:08:55.:09:00.

elegant, the way he flies. It was the best routine I have seen

:09:01.:09:02.

him do. If if you look at all his landings,

:09:03.:09:13.

there was more than a very small deduction.

:09:14.:09:17.

We knew if he landed his tumbles as best he could there would be chance,

:09:18.:09:22.

a chance for a bronze. He is now the Olympic champion.

:09:23.:09:30.

No one can quite believe this. Put it in perspective, this is a

:09:31.:09:32.

surprise. It totally is. We were hoping for a

:09:33.:09:37.

sneaky bronze. Literally, he went clean and the

:09:38.:09:42.

others faulted. As soon as Kenzo Shirai did all

:09:43.:09:46.

business date. I was testing my mum saying mats will win this.

:09:47.:09:54.

-- did all those mistakes. This is down to the hours of

:09:55.:09:59.

training with his coach, Scott. None of us can put into words how

:10:00.:10:03.

much this means for the whole of our sport.

:10:04.:10:08.

To win an Olympic medal is huge. To be Olympic champion, it's deftly

:10:09.:10:15.

takes the pressure from the pommel horse.

:10:16.:10:18.

He could with the pommel as well. We watched earlier Max Whitlock come

:10:19.:10:24.

into this arena and practice, waiting to go up on the pommel

:10:25.:10:27.

horse. They practise every single

:10:28.:10:32.

eventuality. His coach, Scott, I don't know if he

:10:33.:10:36.

would have imagined, or they practised the routine of what

:10:37.:10:40.

happens when you become Olympic champion on floor first!

:10:41.:10:44.

You can't practice that. The hard thing now for him is to calm down

:10:45.:10:50.

and focus. He is Olympic champion. It might

:10:51.:10:55.

work in his favour. The pressure is now off him.

:10:56.:10:57.

He is an Olympic champ and already so he can have fun.

:10:58.:11:01.

We have had the pleasure of witnessing this kind of gin that

:11:02.:11:05.

Brazilian gymnasts in the finals as well.

:11:06.:11:08.

The roof almost comes off whenever they walk up to the apparatus.

:11:09.:11:14.

Goodness me, I don't want to call him an old gymnasts, but he is 30,

:11:15.:11:20.

Hypolito. He has had so much success on the world stage, never successful

:11:21.:11:24.

at the Olympics. Now he gets is all the medal in this arena.

:11:25.:11:32.

Unbelievable scenes. Watching those three gymnasts waiting for each

:11:33.:11:34.

score. There was such a celebration. All

:11:35.:11:39.

three of them were maybe hoping for a bronze, none of them expected to

:11:40.:11:43.

come out in that order, let alone two Brazilians on the podium. Such a

:11:44.:11:50.

nice sleep on the podium, calling their coaches up. There is so much

:11:51.:11:58.

support staff around each gymnast. Diego first came on the scene in

:11:59.:12:03.

2003 with a wild medal. He has been there or thereabouts. In front of a

:12:04.:12:09.

home crowd is special. Arthur Mariano, I remember him at

:12:10.:12:14.

the grand prix in Glasgow. Everyone said, goodness, this guy has some

:12:15.:12:17.

moves. He has refined it and worked

:12:18.:12:21.

alongside that difficulty with his execution. He then came out and

:12:22.:12:25.

surprised us with the moves in that routine.

:12:26.:12:31.

His difficulty school was much harder. He had nothing to lose. In

:12:32.:12:37.

my own country, I want to get on the medal board.

:12:38.:12:40.

Unbelievable he managed to up his difficulty and stick all his

:12:41.:12:44.

landings which is why he came third. To remind you the men's pommel horse

:12:45.:12:50.

final will start at 7:30pm, after Max Whitlock tries to recompose

:12:51.:12:55.

himself and take all that energy forward into pommel horse. Let us

:12:56.:13:00.

just hope he can do what he is capable of doing here in the gym.

:13:01.:13:05.

That is the thing with gymnastics at that level. All you hope to do is be

:13:06.:13:09.

able to produce income petition what you can do in the training gym. --

:13:10.:13:18.

produce in competition. You can do a lot in training but get

:13:19.:13:28.

to competition, you can't account for the pressure. To perform as well

:13:29.:13:34.

as Max has done so far, it is incredible and shows how good a

:13:35.:13:39.

gymnast he is. All the hours put into the training

:13:40.:13:43.

have been worth it for these three gentlemen here.

:13:44.:13:48.

Arthur Mariano. 22 years old. Max Whitlock is 23.

:13:49.:13:55.

Add Diego Hypolito, you can see what it means to him.

:13:56.:14:01.

I don't think he has stopped crying since the result came through.

:14:02.:14:04.

It just means that much to him. The whole family are involved in

:14:05.:14:10.

gymnastics, his sister on the women's side.

:14:11.:14:24.

Let's just enjoy the medal ceremony of the men's Olympic floor final.

:14:25.:14:33.

The first gymnast up onto this floor podium will be Diego Hypolito.

:14:34.:14:45.

I know that Max's family are here, his mum, his dad and his brother.

:14:46.:14:54.

Everybody is on tenterhooks for that pommel horse final. They were hoping

:14:55.:14:58.

that Max would just be able to go and enjoy herself in the floor

:14:59.:15:02.

final, blow off a bit of steam as far as the excitement was concerned.

:15:03.:15:07.

-- enjoy himself. Now to have this as a result!

:15:08.:15:23.

Well, Beth, we talked about history being made here today. We hoped it

:15:24.:15:31.

would happen in the floor final, in the pommel horse final. But here we

:15:32.:15:35.

are in the men's Olympic floor final with Great Britain's Max Whitlock

:15:36.:15:40.

taking gold. But first, the bronze medallist for Brazil. Up onto the

:15:41.:15:45.

podium, it Arthur Mariano. His only apparatus final. He just

:15:46.:16:03.

cannot wait to get that medal around his neck. It's yours, enjoy it!

:16:04.:16:19.

He's heard his name. He passes on all of his congratulations to his

:16:20.:16:55.

team-mate. Look at that, that is what it means to get an Olympic

:16:56.:16:58.

medal in front of your home crowd. And it's not just all of those in

:16:59.:17:26.

Brazil who are delighted for him. The world gymnastics is delighted

:17:27.:17:30.

for him because he's one of those that just puts the effort in year

:17:31.:17:34.

after year after year, and deserves everything that he's achieved here

:17:35.:17:39.

today. Olympic silver for Diego Hypolito.

:17:40.:18:06.

Max Whitlock will up onto the podium as Great Britain's first Olympic

:18:07.:18:19.

champion in gymnastics. And there he goes! Victorious in Rio.

:18:20.:18:37.

Great Britain's Max Whitlock is floor Olympic champion. He takes the

:18:38.:18:49.

gold in front of a very, very strong field. He beat the double World

:18:50.:18:56.

Champion, the former world champions. They were all here. And

:18:57.:19:02.

he reigned supreme. It's gold for Max Whitlock in the men's Olympic

:19:03.:19:04.

floor final. it's gold for Great Britain and Max

:19:05.:20:07.

Whitlock. Brazil take silver and bronze.

:20:08.:20:14.

And now it is very much time for Max Whitlock to try, if you can, and

:20:15.:20:23.

refocus. In 40 minutes time he will be back here at the Rio Olympic

:20:24.:20:30.

Arena to try and get his hands on another gold. He will be up against

:20:31.:20:36.

Great Britain's Louis Smith. There are some strong competitors in that

:20:37.:20:40.

field as well. But, please, please join us, if you can. In just 40

:20:41.:20:48.

minutes time where we will hopefully witness even more greatness.

:20:49.:20:55.

STUDIO: Max Whitlock will go into that pommel horse final against his

:20:56.:21:01.

team-mate Louis Smith, and perhaps another gold medal. What a wonderful

:21:02.:21:05.

time for British gymnastics this is. That gives Great Britain and 11th

:21:06.:21:10.

gold medal of these games. Third place in the medal table, lying

:21:11.:21:15.

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

:21:16.:21:21.

has got 13 gold medals. Great Britain have got 11 with a

:21:22.:21:25.

guaranteed golds to come from recycling and the potential of goals

:21:26.:21:28.

from tennis and gymnastics and failing. And what about the golf?

:21:29.:21:36.

Justin Rose has a birdie putt on the 15. He is level with Henrik Stenson.

:21:37.:21:40.

This could taking into the lead with three to play the golf. And he has

:21:41.:21:57.

holed it. Justin Rose have a 1-shot advantage over Henrik Stenson. Let's

:21:58.:21:59.

get the latest on the sailing because there have been very light

:22:00.:22:04.

winds today. The sailing has been slightly delayed, but hopefully

:22:05.:22:08.

Shirley Robinson, it will reach its conclusion. For Nick Dempsey that

:22:09.:22:12.

will mean a medal. You might even just the him do it. He is about to

:22:13.:22:16.

cross the finish line within a few moments. This is the man who won

:22:17.:22:21.

gold in 2016 and went gold in London 2012. The Dutchman, Dorian van

:22:22.:22:27.

Rijsselberghe. But today didn't really matter, he had already

:22:28.:22:31.

secured gold and Britain's Nick Dempsey had secured silver. They

:22:32.:22:36.

were so far ahead of the rest of the fleet that they didn't actually have

:22:37.:22:40.

two race today. This is a perfect backdrop for a lap of honour. What a

:22:41.:22:47.

day it has been! Surely, what about later, will we see Giles Scott?

:22:48.:22:53.

Giles Scott is out racing in the ocean. He's such an incredible

:22:54.:22:57.

talent. He could well so up the gold medal later today without even

:22:58.:23:01.

having to do a medal race. I'm keeping half an eye out on the

:23:02.:23:05.

ocean. Once we have seen Nick celebrate his silver medal I'm going

:23:06.:23:10.

out there to bring you all the news. Thank you, I know you will keep us

:23:11.:23:14.

up to date. Puts on some factor on because it's really hot today!

:23:15.:23:19.

Scorching weather for the gold medal match in the tennis. Since tennis

:23:20.:23:24.

was reintroduced to the Olympics in 1988 big names have included Andre

:23:25.:23:29.

Agassi and Rafael Nadal. Andy Murray comes here hoping to be the first

:23:30.:23:34.

man ever to win back-to-back medals in tennis. After he carried the flag

:23:35.:23:38.

at the Opening Ceremony for Team GB he told Dan Walker how much the

:23:39.:23:39.

Olympics has meant to him. For you, personally, the Olympics is

:23:40.:23:55.

such an important part of your story. Winning that gold medal set

:23:56.:23:59.

you up to achieve so many great things in the sport. And also

:24:00.:24:04.

Beijing as well was huge for me, too. I had an amazing experience

:24:05.:24:09.

over there. I learned so much from losing in the first round. That hurt

:24:10.:24:13.

me a lot. I was absolutely gutted and I had to wait four years to get

:24:14.:24:18.

another chance. I lost in the Wimbledon final in 2012.

:24:19.:24:26.

I'm going to try this, and it's not going to be easy!

:24:27.:24:34.

I said to myself after that but I may never win a grand slam. I had

:24:35.:24:39.

lost in four finals. I was working as hard as I could work, getting

:24:40.:24:44.

close but it was never quite enough. I didn't know if I was ever going to

:24:45.:24:49.

win one. I think when I accepted that, that helped me. In terms of

:24:50.:24:53.

the tears after that match, I was very emotional, clearly. But that

:24:54.:24:58.

happens quite a lot. Normally you're doing it in the locker room. It

:24:59.:25:01.

doesn't happen when you have to speak. You can blame Sue Barker, if

:25:02.:25:09.

you like! The Olympics was starting three weeks later. It would have

:25:10.:25:12.

been easy to be down but I remembered what happened in Beijing.

:25:13.:25:16.

I got back on the practice court a few weeks after the Wimbledon final.

:25:17.:25:20.

I thought that I wanted to try to win this event, the biggest sporting

:25:21.:25:25.

competition by far. I have played at Wimbledon Centre Court many times.

:25:26.:25:27.

The crowd that day was totally different. I have never experienced

:25:28.:25:32.

that. Roger Federer is extremely popular at Wimbledon. The crowd was

:25:33.:25:37.

amazing and gave me a huge, huge lift a bad day. I don't know if

:25:38.:25:42.

there was anything that could really top but having competed and won a

:25:43.:25:45.

gold medal at a home Olympics. Getting to carry the flag for the

:25:46.:25:52.

country here was pretty close. What have you made of the Brazilian

:25:53.:25:58.

experience so far? I've enjoyed it. The tennis venue is great. The

:25:59.:26:01.

village is good fun as well. I'm sharing a room with my brother,

:26:02.:26:04.

which I haven't done for about 15 years. It's two single beds which is

:26:05.:26:10.

nice because it's totally different to what we're used to as tennis

:26:11.:26:15.

players. We're always pretty selfish and doing stuff on our own. Whereas

:26:16.:26:19.

here you're part of something much bigger, you're part of the British

:26:20.:26:23.

team. It's nice, I enjoy that. We got little bikes and we've been

:26:24.:26:28.

cycling around with each other, racing each other round the village

:26:29.:26:32.

being who can do the best gigs on the bikes. It's just nice. Some of

:26:33.:26:37.

the big boys and here but there are plenty of big names to keep the

:26:38.:26:40.

tennis fans in Brazil entertained. It's unfortunate that Roger Federer

:26:41.:26:45.

and Stan Wawrinka were both injured. If they were here, all of the

:26:46.:26:49.

players who have won grand slams in the last ten years would be

:26:50.:26:52.

competing here. But a lot of the top players are here and I will try my

:26:53.:27:00.

best to have a good run. Our tennis correspondent joins me

:27:01.:27:04.

now, you will be commentating on this. Andy Murray had a couple of

:27:05.:27:08.

scares early on against Fognini and Johnson, but he looked convincing

:27:09.:27:12.

against Nishikori. Nice to get a straightforward match under his belt

:27:13.:27:15.

in the semis because this is where they switch from the best-of-3 sets

:27:16.:27:19.

to the best of five sets in the way that we see regularly at Wimbledon

:27:20.:27:23.

and other grand slams. He did have a couple of big scares before that. He

:27:24.:27:27.

played like a dream against Fabio Fognini of Italy. He lost his rhythm

:27:28.:27:33.

in the blustery wind, found himself 3-0 down in the decider and had to

:27:34.:27:37.

come back from that decision. He won six games in a row, very Andy

:27:38.:27:43.

Murray. And against Johnson he was in complete control until Johnson

:27:44.:27:46.

worked his way back into the match. Andy Murray recovers from a

:27:47.:27:49.

breakdown and had to win a tie-break. I can't ever remember

:27:50.:27:54.

seeing him so tense in any match, grand slam Davis Cup, which gives

:27:55.:27:57.

you an idea of what this means to him. Come the final against

:27:58.:28:02.

Nishikori, he looked much happier and smoother and more in control. I

:28:03.:28:10.

think when the chips are on the line, Andy Murray tends to rise to

:28:11.:28:14.

the occasion even more. He had a very good record against Kei

:28:15.:28:18.

Nishikori and still does. There was absolutely no way he was going to

:28:19.:28:22.

relinquish that chance knowing that he was one match away from another

:28:23.:28:27.

gold medal match. No tennis player, male or female, has ever won singles

:28:28.:28:32.

titles at the Olympics back-to-back. It's going to be a fabulous final

:28:33.:28:36.

because he's up against Juan Martin del Potro who really is the comeback

:28:37.:28:40.

king of 2016. He was such a promising talent when he won the US

:28:41.:28:45.

open in 2009. After that, just one injury after another. He is one of

:28:46.:28:50.

the best players you can possibly watch. He had beforehand which must

:28:51.:28:55.

be utterly terrifying if you're an opponent. It's a miracle scorch

:28:56.:28:59.

marks left on the court when he hits it. He has been so unlucky with

:29:00.:29:03.

injury. A few months after winning the US Open he had to have surgery

:29:04.:29:08.

on his right wrist and he missed at least a year from the tour. He

:29:09.:29:13.

slowly worked his way back to playing an amazing Wimbledon against

:29:14.:29:17.

Novak Djokovic. Then the left wrist packed up. Three surgeries in the

:29:18.:29:22.

last 2.5 years. This year he has worked his way back cautiously. He

:29:23.:29:26.

has had good results, he beat Stan Wawrinka at Wimbledon. But this is

:29:27.:29:31.

beyond his wildest expectation. He is the baddie today in an Olympic

:29:32.:29:34.

sense but there is so much goodwill for him as well. This is him beating

:29:35.:29:41.

Rafael Nadal. There was so much Argentinian support. You can see

:29:42.:29:43.

from these pictures that it really matters. He kisses the logo,

:29:44.:29:50.

eventually, in celebration. That was a very, very long match. That was

:29:51.:29:54.

the disadvantage in that he had played an eight hour three minutes

:29:55.:29:59.

match against Rafael Nadal. Andy Murray had a relatively light

:30:00.:30:03.

work-out against Kei Nishikori. Because of these injury problems

:30:04.:30:05.

he's not actually played a full five set match is the Australian open

:30:06.:30:11.

2014. That just gives you an idea of what's tennis means to the

:30:12.:30:14.

overwhelming majority of players in the world. Especially to somebody

:30:15.:30:20.

like Del Potro, so proud to represent his country. He is just in

:30:21.:30:23.

dreamland after the most horrendous run that I'd been explaining. He

:30:24.:30:28.

could have been a member of the big five, maybe even the big two or

:30:29.:30:32.

three. The best years of his career have been snatched away from him. It

:30:33.:30:36.

will be sensational. You are heading over to our centre court at the

:30:37.:30:40.

Olympics. Thanks for joining us, you can see quite a crowd gathering

:30:41.:30:44.

because we have some of our brilliant swimmers. First, let me

:30:45.:30:49.

show you Nick Dempsey crossing the line in the windsurfing.

:30:50.:30:54.

Here he is, finishing off. Nick Dempsey has done a terrific job out

:30:55.:31:07.

there. And he becomes Britain's first time three time medal winner

:31:08.:31:13.

in history. Successive silvers for him. We will talk to these men and

:31:14.:31:18.

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor is here, after we flecked on Britain's best

:31:19.:31:23.

performance at an Olympic Games since 1908 -- we reflect.

:31:24.:31:29.

COMMENTATOR: Here he is, Great Britain's Adam Peaty. Good start

:31:30.:31:36.

from PT, a good reaction to the gun. Big turn underwater, he is streaking

:31:37.:31:43.

away. Oceans of clear blue water between Adam Peaty and the rest of

:31:44.:31:48.

the world. Taking gold by streets. He has obliterated the world record.

:31:49.:31:54.

Perfect for me, that carried me through. Jazz Carlin is in medal

:31:55.:32:05.

position. Wonderful Silver Medal for Great Britain. I honestly can't

:32:06.:32:09.

believe it, I'm on the edge of tears. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor from

:32:10.:32:14.

Britain. Brilliant swim here from O'Connor. She isn't giving up at

:32:15.:32:19.

all. Silver, Great Britain. It is silver, for Siobhan-Marie O'Connor.

:32:20.:32:26.

Great Britain, this is a very important leg. Can they catch up for

:32:27.:32:35.

the Silver Medal? Well done. Silver, or Jazz Carlin. Well done, Jazz.

:32:36.:32:46.

USA, one, Great Britain, two. Extraordinary. Great Britain winning

:32:47.:32:51.

the silver. Six medals, five silvers and won the gold. Well, here is the

:32:52.:33:00.

man who Bond Great Britain's first Olympic gold medal since 1988. Adam

:33:01.:33:07.

Peaty. A gold and a silver. Could it have been better, it has been

:33:08.:33:11.

sensational? Coming to my first Olympic Games, I wanted to use the

:33:12.:33:15.

crowd, everything that makes Great Britain great, putting on this

:33:16.:33:21.

T-shirt is an honour for me. I never carried so much pride into the

:33:22.:33:26.

final. You can't top it off. Winning in a world record time, that takes

:33:27.:33:31.

some doing. A lot of people doubted that I could do it in the final. My

:33:32.:33:35.

first Olympic Games, the odds are not very high, but I just went out

:33:36.:33:40.

and did it. I knew I was capable. I wasn't scared of who was next to me,

:33:41.:33:46.

a previous Olympic champion. I just enjoyed it, really. You have so much

:33:47.:33:53.

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

:33:54.:33:59.

hard work in. That is down to me and Mel, a very unique bond. We are

:34:00.:34:04.

continuing to chase excellence now and push the records even further.

:34:05.:34:09.

The backing of Mel Marshall is crucial to you but you've obviously

:34:10.:34:13.

had a lot of family members, your Nan, Mavis has become a star at

:34:14.:34:18.

home. Yes, more of a star than me. She got so many followers on

:34:19.:34:22.

Twitter. Great to have that kind of support. She is out there, rooting

:34:23.:34:28.

for Team GB and she is really the Olympic Nan, she loves it. Must have

:34:29.:34:32.

given you the hunger for so much more. This is just the start,

:34:33.:34:37.

really. With these boys hopefully we can do something special in Tokyo.

:34:38.:34:43.

The Silver Medal from the Medley, you were part of that as well,

:34:44.:34:46.

James. You have met Michael Phelps so many times -- how many times?

:34:47.:34:52.

Three times. Great racing and I've learned a lot of things. What is he

:34:53.:34:57.

like behind-the-scenes? We saw some great shots from the ready room. The

:34:58.:35:03.

greatest of all time. Obviously doing something right, what he's

:35:04.:35:08.

doing. The hundred metre butterfly. I like the fact that you know you

:35:09.:35:13.

are in shot. I thought I would photo bomb him. It was a great honour to

:35:14.:35:17.

race against him and to be here. When you are in the medal ceremony,

:35:18.:35:22.

does he chat? We saw you shaking hands. Is he friendly? He's like a

:35:23.:35:29.

normal guy. Talking before and after the race. He was asking about Adam

:35:30.:35:34.

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

:35:35.:35:39.

race him. What will you remember about these Games, how would you

:35:40.:35:42.

assess your performance and what you achieved? The first few days was

:35:43.:35:47.

very tough, I was in a bit of a hole. After the 400 aid. I moved on

:35:48.:35:54.

and each time I got faster and faster and I turned it around -- 400

:35:55.:36:00.

heat. It turned into a PB and then a medal. Couldn't ask for a better

:36:01.:36:07.

week. Two medals, I would have taken that, over the moon, very happy.

:36:08.:36:12.

Chris Walker-Hebborn on, a crucial part of the Medley team. How would

:36:13.:36:16.

you sum up the bond between the British swimmers? Pretty impressive,

:36:17.:36:21.

I've been swimming with them for a few years now. I'm getting on a bit

:36:22.:36:25.

but being part of the team is amazing. Being part of the relay,

:36:26.:36:29.

that was a huge prospect for me, more than the single. To come away

:36:30.:36:33.

with the Silver Medal, our best swimming Olympics in 100 years,

:36:34.:36:37.

pretty special. And the young talent coming through. Definitely, I don't

:36:38.:36:42.

consider myself young any more, but having these guys at my book is

:36:43.:36:47.

pretty good, Adam Peaty is phenomenal and having these guys as

:36:48.:36:52.

well, pretty special. Talking of the young talent, Duncan: I think you

:36:53.:36:57.

are the youngest? Boettcher more years, Chris. This is Duncan Scott.

:36:58.:37:05.

-- four more years. It is a young team. What about the young kids who

:37:06.:37:08.

are watching, thinking whether swimming would be a fun sport to be

:37:09.:37:13.

involved in. I know that the training is hard but what is it like

:37:14.:37:17.

with the medals? Not a sport to do if you're in it for the money. Go

:37:18.:37:25.

for football or Dolph? When it goes down to the head-to-head, it is a

:37:26.:37:32.

great sport -- golf. You saw the racing, all of them were close apart

:37:33.:37:36.

from Adam Peaty's. It is head-to-head stuff. What are you

:37:37.:37:39.

going to take away as a special memory? One of them is just getting

:37:40.:37:46.

the kit, unbelievable amount of kit and you think, what's going on here?

:37:47.:37:53.

First steps into the village, great experience, coming with the full

:37:54.:37:57.

summing team, that was an honour. Just being able to swim at the

:37:58.:38:01.

Olympic Games, something special. Are you going to make sure that you

:38:02.:38:05.

see other if it is now? Definitely, looking forward to seeing Andy

:38:06.:38:10.

Murray against Del Potro. Fantastic Mawhinney lout support for Andy

:38:11.:38:13.

Murray because there is quite a lot of support for Del Potro. Yeah,

:38:14.:38:18.

looking forward to it. Going over here to talk to Siobhan-Marie

:38:19.:38:22.

O'Connor. Going home with a Silver Medal. Congratulations in the 200

:38:23.:38:28.

IM. A tough competition but are you happy? Really happy, I dream of an

:38:29.:38:33.

Olympic medal ever since I started swimming, so I'm really pleased. So

:38:34.:38:38.

good to be part of the team, we have done so well, I am so proud. You

:38:39.:38:42.

have had a tough personal struggle. Tell me how much Steve Redgrave has

:38:43.:38:47.

mattered to you in turning things around. Such an inspiration. He has

:38:48.:38:53.

battled the same thing that I have, a tummy problem. Talking to him, he

:38:54.:39:01.

gave up some time to talk to me last year -- so much time. It was amazing

:39:02.:39:04.

because it meant I was more confident about it. He's an

:39:05.:39:08.

inspiration and such a great athlete. He really inspired me. It

:39:09.:39:15.

is a chronic bowel problem, is it? Yes, it is a form of colitis, quite

:39:16.:39:20.

a common thing but not many people are aware of it. It is pretty tough

:39:21.:39:25.

but so many athletes have things to deal with, whether it is an ongoing

:39:26.:39:29.

injury, something like that, and that is what I have to deal with. I

:39:30.:39:35.

have a great team who helped me, I am very healthy and I'm in a great

:39:36.:39:40.

place. It is thanks to them, really. Interesting because Steve regret

:39:41.:39:42.

talking to you, I think some people will hear you and think that if you

:39:43.:39:49.

can handle it, maybe they can too. If that happens that's amazing, that

:39:50.:39:54.

is what I dream of, to be on the platform to show people that yeah,

:39:55.:40:00.

you can do it. It is tough. Sport is tough. You've got to give it your

:40:01.:40:05.

best. Yeah I'm really happy that I've been able to get to this

:40:06.:40:09.

position. A dream come true. It has been fabulous. Dan White is next to

:40:10.:40:15.

you, how much we action from the other athletes and the British team?

:40:16.:40:18.

They've been really supportive of us. We are the first, we can almost

:40:19.:40:25.

set the pace and we've done a pretty good job. We are all connected and

:40:26.:40:30.

we are familiar faces. It is great to have the other sports backing us

:40:31.:40:35.

and spectators at our events. Have you enjoyed it? Yeah, amazing,

:40:36.:40:40.

everything I could have creamed off, becoming an Olympian and saying you

:40:41.:40:43.

competed is a pretty cool thing to do. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor for you,

:40:44.:40:50.

are you now thinking about the next four year cycle to Tokyo or will you

:40:51.:40:55.

take a break? I will definitely take a break. It was pretty surreal

:40:56.:40:59.

yesterday, the final session of swimming. We've worked every day for

:41:00.:41:04.

four years for this, it was good to see the hard work paid off but I

:41:05.:41:08.

think we all deserve a break, time to relax and unwind and celebrate

:41:09.:41:12.

with friends and family but after that, I'm so excited for the next

:41:13.:41:18.

four years. Such a strong place as they team and such a young team,

:41:19.:41:22.

exciting for the future. Bring on Tokyo, really. Is that Stephen who I

:41:23.:41:30.

haven't spoke to? Stephen Milne, you were part of the relay, the 4x200

:41:31.:41:38.

freestyle relay. We have had cracking relays, America are always

:41:39.:41:41.

very strong. Do you think that the British line-ups have the belief

:41:42.:41:46.

that they can beat anybody? We are pretty strong, there is a lot of

:41:47.:41:50.

depth in British swimming. It is great that we have the range, for

:41:51.:41:56.

the small nation we have. I think we are a real contender now for getting

:41:57.:41:59.

up there and heading for the gold medal. You've had a great time,

:42:00.:42:04.

haven't you? The best time of my life, really. I really believe that.

:42:05.:42:09.

To be with these guys as well, enjoying the experience with them

:42:10.:42:13.

has been a pleasure. Such a strong bond between them, the most

:42:14.:42:16.

successful British swimming team since 1908, six medals, one gold and

:42:17.:42:22.

five of them sold. Congratulations. I know that Justin Rose came over

:42:23.:42:26.

one night to support you, so you will want to know what he's getting

:42:27.:42:31.

up to. He had a 1-shot lead with three holes to play. I think this is

:42:32.:42:35.

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

:42:36.:42:42.

Stenson has done. But bearing in mind that Stenson is also on the

:42:43.:42:45.

green waiting to play. But this potentially could take Rose two

:42:46.:42:52.

ahead... It just shaves the hole. One shot clear of Henrik Stenson.

:42:53.:42:58.

And this is Stenson's birdie putt. Much shorter, this looks like three

:42:59.:43:04.

feet. They will have two to play. Can Stenson do it again? They can.

:43:05.:43:10.

Locked in battle, Stenson and Rose. Let's just check that Rose can hole

:43:11.:43:19.

his par putt. They are 15-under. Stenson has completed the 16th. This

:43:20.:43:26.

is Justin Rose's par putt. He's taking his time with this, even

:43:27.:43:29.

though it only looks like tap in range. He's taking his time, he

:43:30.:43:34.

doesn't want to do and Ernie Els, it is now known. Justin Rose, for par,

:43:35.:43:41.

to keep himself level with Henrik Stenson.

:43:42.:43:49.

And in it goes. The par is to come. And we will see the Taoiseach on 17

:43:50.:44:02.

-- the par-3 17th is to come. This is the par-3 -- the tee shot. Justin

:44:03.:44:11.

Rose. A hole-in-one on one of the par-3s on the first day. That is on

:44:12.:44:15.

the edge, the back of the green, so a very long birdie putt, but

:44:16.:44:20.

hopefully down in the two. We will be joining the golf in a moment. The

:44:21.:44:24.

swimmers are getting themselves lined up for a photo that I hope

:44:25.:44:29.

will be framed and taken back to them. Leon Taylor, you are pleased

:44:30.:44:32.

with them but you are watching the diving. You have Grace Reid later.

:44:33.:44:39.

The first finalist since 1972, 20 years old, first Olympic Games, all

:44:40.:44:44.

to play for. Update us on the side of the pool because it is green, and

:44:45.:44:48.

also what was being used for the preliminary matches of the water

:44:49.:44:53.

polo, the big pool is due to be used for synchronised swimming which has

:44:54.:44:57.

also turned green, which isn't good for them and the judges who need to

:44:58.:44:59.

be able to see them. The swimming pool needs to be

:45:00.:45:10.

cleared. Diving is fine, the divers are happy and the water is safe from

:45:11.:45:14.

a chemical point of view, but for the synchronised swimming, they have

:45:15.:45:18.

had to take the water out and fill it from the training pool and that

:45:19.:45:23.

process has gone on overnight. I will look forward to seeing what has

:45:24.:45:28.

gone on. What about Grace? She has made the final. Everybody starts

:45:29.:45:36.

from zero and if she can be consistent, up another gear, she

:45:37.:45:41.

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

:45:42.:45:45.

more than that. We have a gold medal from the diving and also a medal for

:45:46.:45:56.

Goodfellow and Tom Daley. Leon, I will let you go because we are

:45:57.:46:02.

heading to the golf and picking up the action live. Henrik Stenson and

:46:03.:46:07.

Justin Rose are tied for the lead. Coming up to the 17th and we are

:46:08.:46:12.

going to join commentary. It is coming from our hosts, the Olympic

:46:13.:46:19.

broadcaster services. We are staying with golf until its conclusion.

:46:20.:46:35.

COMMENTATOR: The birdies have come from the bunker. A couple on the

:46:36.:46:42.

green, but not too many. Justin Rose is just off the green. He and Henrik

:46:43.:46:51.

Stenson doctor at 15 under par. Opting to keep the flag in. He can

:46:52.:47:00.

take it out -- they are not -- locked at 15 under.

:47:01.:47:13.

It started to move. A double swing, left then right. That is a safe par.

:47:14.:47:59.

What an enormous putt. From one of the biggest hitters in the world

:48:00.:48:10.

game. Henrik Stenson will have to have the touch of a surgeon on the

:48:11.:48:16.

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

:48:17.:48:29.

15 under par. Justin Rose's heart will be pounding, Henrik Stenson's

:48:30.:48:34.

heart will be pounding. Everybody's heart will be pounding. They are,

:48:35.:48:41.

fingernails have gone. Maybe 15, 16 feet. A birdie putt. This is to get

:48:42.:48:57.

to 16 under to take the lead. No. It looked like he dragged it. It has

:48:58.:49:11.

got a tail. Right through the break for Henrik Stenson.

:49:12.:49:24.

It will be Marcus Fraser first, just to break the tension between these

:49:25.:49:32.

two. To think that he started in contention, just a couple of shots

:49:33.:49:40.

back, three back from Justin Rose. He has seen his round dilute in

:49:41.:49:49.

attack. Eight under, he is. He needs this to at eight under.

:49:50.:50:05.

It was a good-looking putt will stop look how far past the hole it has

:50:06.:50:15.

gone. Dokey putt. -- bogey. That is a four

:50:16.:50:46.

for Marcus Fraser and he drops back to 7-under par. It is a tied for

:50:47.:50:56.

seventh with Bubba Watson. And Emiliano Grillo. And Sergio Garcia.

:50:57.:51:05.

You would have to be that Justin Rose's putt will just be a tap-in

:51:06.:51:18.

for his par. That was fast, his first putt.

:51:19.:51:49.

Par putt for Henrik Stenson. Left edge but it is a par. Rose should

:51:50.:52:02.

tap this in. Easy for Justin Rose. It is going to

:52:03.:52:40.

go down to the wire. All square at 15-under going down the final hole.

:52:41.:52:49.

This is what we wanted to see. Championship golf at its best.

:52:50.:53:03.

Barring complete and utter blow outs, Great Britain and Sweden have

:53:04.:53:13.

medals guaranteed. It would be the most unlikely if one of them failed

:53:14.:53:21.

to get up to the green in at least three.

:53:22.:53:28.

What colour will the battle be? Justin Rose of Great Britain, Henrik

:53:29.:53:34.

Stenson of Sweden and Matt Kutcher in the clubhouse on 13-under for the

:53:35.:53:41.

USA after a magnificent record equalling 8-under par 63 to close.

:53:42.:54:01.

Henrik Stenson to go first. The Open champion from Royal Troon. And he

:54:02.:55:06.

has got a driver. He has taken driver for only the third time in

:55:07.:55:10.

this final round. Stenson at 15-under locked with Justin Rose of

:55:11.:55:16.

Great Britain. He sent it out right and he needs it

:55:17.:55:26.

to draw and it is not. He is all right, but that is the furthest

:55:27.:55:30.

right he has been on this 18th. That lengthens the second shot, it makes

:55:31.:55:37.

it very difficult. Justin Rose might fancy going in two. You think of how

:55:38.:55:46.

much history between these two. They play as partners in the Ryder Cup,

:55:47.:55:52.

they were neighbours in Florida. They know each other so well. Justin

:55:53.:55:54.

Rose now. Unbelievable. Break the tension with

:55:55.:56:14.

a cellphone. Mobile phones... All-around the course. So many

:56:15.:56:20.

reminders to put them on silent and put them away while the players are

:56:21.:56:32.

on the tee. A reset for Justin Rose. Henrik Stenson has gone right.

:56:33.:56:39.

Justin Rose at 18. Will this be the last hole? Will there be a play-off?

:56:40.:56:44.

He has gone right but he is straighter. Not by much. Not by

:56:45.:56:54.

much! There is tension here at the Olympic golf course. Great Britain

:56:55.:56:59.

and Sweden fight it out for the Olympic gold medal in the golf event

:57:00.:57:04.

that has returned to the Olympic Games after an absence of 112 years.

:57:05.:57:14.

Marcus Fraser, who started this individual stroke play with a 63 on

:57:15.:57:23.

Thursday, back at 7-under. They have all gone right. That is probably the

:57:24.:57:28.

widest of the three. No, don't pick it up! That is the

:57:29.:57:49.

second time today. Stenson is the only player in the grouping that has

:57:50.:57:53.

not had his ball touched by a member of the gallery today. Using the

:57:54.:57:58.

driver. He had on the spot physiotherapy for his back. Look at

:57:59.:58:04.

the turn in that back, the hips, and the drive with the legs. He is so

:58:05.:58:11.

powerful. A wonderful finish. He did not get the draw he hoped for to

:58:12.:58:15.

give him the distance. And the accuracy. Justin Rose, whose swing

:58:16.:58:24.

has been marvellous for four days, he has made very few errors on this

:58:25.:58:31.

golf course. The club at the top just about parallel.

:58:32.:58:42.

You can see when it is a slow motion replay, you can see the strain on

:58:43.:58:50.

the back goes under in a golf swing. We knew it would be a battle for

:58:51.:58:59.

gold between Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, but how wonderful it is for

:59:00.:59:03.

the return of golf to the Olympic Games that it comes down to this. It

:59:04.:59:09.

is par-5, the 18th, reachable in two. Stenson and Justin Rose have

:59:10.:59:19.

gone out to the right. The battle for more intense now. You have

:59:20.:59:23.

wasteland directly in front of the green and on the line you have two

:59:24.:59:29.

bunkers that might very well prove problematic. You do not want to be

:59:30.:59:34.

stuck on the lip of a bunker playing your third shot when your opponent

:59:35.:59:40.

is in the middle of the fairway. That wind has picked up.

:59:41.:59:57.

He can't believe how wide he is. The caddies, credit to them both. They

:59:58.:00:28.

are friends, and advisers, psychologists, sometimes a punching

:00:29.:00:33.

bag, often a coat. Sponges as well because they have to take up so much

:00:34.:00:39.

energy and information -- coach. They've both gone to the right.

:00:40.:00:48.

Marcus Fraser is going first. 348 yards, the par-5 finishing hole.

:00:49.:01:02.

He's got to lay up to a place where he wants to play his third. 71 holes

:01:03.:01:12.

down. One hole to play. 15-under, Rose and Stenson. Marcus Fraser.

:01:13.:01:21.

Helping to release the tension for a moment. Chasing it up nicely down

:01:22.:01:28.

the left-hand side of the fairway. A very good angle at the flag as well,

:01:29.:01:33.

for a positive finish to what has been a thoroughly enjoyable Olympic

:01:34.:01:39.

experience for the Australian. Henrik Stenson, lucky that he hasn't

:01:40.:01:41.

gone into the waist area. -- waste. Absolutely, it is 214 into it. As

:01:42.:02:13.

long as you clear it in your mind. No cameras, please. Put the phones

:02:14.:02:29.

away. What we aren't going to see... The Marshall may come out and warned

:02:30.:02:37.

the players for any slow play -- warn. The tension is too much, this

:02:38.:02:42.

is an absolutely thrilling round of golf. 3-wood, for Henrik Stenson. He

:02:43.:02:50.

has 296 metres, A320 four yards to the hole. -- 324. He has absolutely

:02:51.:03:00.

launched this. That isn't too far away. We are

:03:01.:03:13.

looking back down the 18th fairway at Stenson's ball, he is to the left

:03:14.:03:18.

side of the centre bunker. He'll have a relatively short pitched in.

:03:19.:03:27.

The Flag is at the front left. He's on the left-hand side of the

:03:28.:03:30.

fairway, so he's in a good position, Henrik Stenson. Justin Rose must be

:03:31.:03:41.

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

:03:42.:03:42.

regulation play. You've got the win to go into. --

:03:43.:04:02.

the wind. No photos, put your cameras down. Left of those bunkers,

:04:03.:04:12.

absolutely fine. He's looking at the edge of the grandstand, as you saw

:04:13.:04:19.

from the camera behind him. Stenson is in position eight, to play his

:04:20.:04:31.

third shot in. -- position a. He's just trying to get it into a place

:04:32.:04:36.

where he can play his third shot. Rose, his second on 18. They like

:04:37.:04:42.

it. Well, that has gone further left

:04:43.:04:53.

than Stenson but it's still a good way in. Both players now, it's about

:04:54.:05:05.

their touch with the wedge. Striding down 18 of this wonderful golf

:05:06.:05:09.

course. We've had four days of the most enthralling golf. 60 players

:05:10.:05:17.

from all over the world. And it's come down to a shoot out between

:05:18.:05:21.

Great Britain's Justin Rose and Sweden's Henrik Stenson. Going for

:05:22.:05:31.

gold, both major champions. The Open champion, Henrik Stenson, the 2013

:05:32.:05:36.

US Open champion, Justin Rose. Matt Kuchar of the United States is in

:05:37.:05:41.

the clubhouse on 13-under. He has guaranteed USA a medal. Sweden and

:05:42.:05:47.

Great Britain, battling for gold coming down 18. It is effectively

:05:48.:05:53.

sudden death. Out of these two it is going to be Stenson to play first

:05:54.:05:56.

because Justin Rose got his ball near the people on the right, on the

:05:57.:06:00.

left of the grandstand. So, the galleries are along the

:06:01.:06:45.

fairway and over on the far side, which is the 1st hole. Henrik

:06:46.:06:58.

Stenson. It will be Fraser, the first out of the three, but out of

:06:59.:07:02.

Stenson and Rose, it will be Stenson to play. Marcus Fraser has played

:07:03.:07:07.

what you might say is a supporting role in the final round, but he has

:07:08.:07:15.

played his part in a wonderful Olympic men's individual stroke play

:07:16.:07:24.

tournament. The pin is on the left side of the green. You can see it

:07:25.:07:33.

flattering under the marquee -- fluttering. Oh, it didn't go, it

:07:34.:07:41.

just checked on the green. But he's on the putting surface for free.

:07:42.:07:49.

Stenson and Rose will be looking to get closer than that. The shadows

:07:50.:08:01.

lengthening as the time makes it way -- makes its way to 3:40pm.

:08:02.:08:11.

Both players have come to the back of the green to survey their shot.

:08:12.:08:24.

Looking back, Henrik Stenson is welcomed by the on course announcer.

:08:25.:08:32.

And Great Britain's Justin Rose receives applause from this superb

:08:33.:08:39.

gallery here. It's packed, absolutely packed. Marcus Fraser

:08:40.:08:44.

walks up to his ball. He's on the putting surface. He will mark his

:08:45.:08:51.

ball, he'll have to do because Justin Rose will be coming in from

:08:52.:08:57.

that side. They both are. Stenson is straighter.

:08:58.:09:15.

Phones and cameras away again, please, thank you.

:09:16.:09:35.

Henrik Stenson. Third shot, to the 18th.

:09:36.:09:49.

Oh, that's spinning away from the hole. He wanted a better result

:09:50.:09:58.

compared Mac that from there. -- than that. He wanted a birdie, he is

:09:59.:10:06.

at least 18 feet. That's come up short from Stenson. From the

:10:07.:10:13.

left-hand side of this fairway. Justin Rose. Not quite the distance

:10:14.:10:23.

that Henrik Stenson had. Just 35 metres, 39 yards for his bird. How

:10:24.:10:32.

close can he get it? -- his third. It looks good, looks very good. It's

:10:33.:10:36.

going to land next to the pin. That's the one, is that the shot

:10:37.:10:42.

that will gain Great Britain Olympic gold in the men's individual stroke

:10:43.:10:49.

play Championship? That might be the shot that has done it. There's been

:10:50.:10:55.

nothing between these two. Great Britain's Justin Rose, it has been

:10:56.:10:58.

the most dramatic tension filled final round. And Justin Rose has

:10:59.:11:12.

played a gem at the last. Just quality from Justin Rose, under

:11:13.:11:20.

pressure. Henrik Stenson, leaving the window slightly open after

:11:21.:11:27.

leaving it short. But Justin Rose, not cracking under pressure. Sending

:11:28.:11:34.

it to within a couple of feet of the hole and he'll have that for the

:11:35.:11:42.

first gold medal in 112 years. A spectacular execution of that shot

:11:43.:11:52.

by Justin Rose. The first putt will be Marcus Fraser of Australia, for a

:11:53.:12:02.

birdie at the last. It's got a chance, it has a chance! And down it

:12:03.:12:10.

goes. Marcus Fraser, who opened with a 63, finishes with a birdie at the

:12:11.:12:12.

last. He has very much been part of a

:12:13.:12:28.

supporting role in this final act. The union Jack waving proudly, team

:12:29.:12:32.

Great Britain's Justin Rose, tucked in close to the hole. The Open

:12:33.:12:38.

champion, Henrik Stenson lining up this putt. One of the most

:12:39.:12:45.

characterful individuals on the Tour, Henrik Stenson. Justin Rose,

:12:46.:12:53.

just head down, working on his putting stroke while Stenson line up

:12:54.:12:58.

the putt. He has had his chances, has Henrik Stenson. No stranger to

:12:59.:13:04.

playing under pressure and made the most phenomenal clutch putt on the

:13:05.:13:12.

72nd hole at Troon, to fire a final-round 63, holding off the

:13:13.:13:18.

inspired Mickelson, seeing him equal the lowest ever round score in any

:13:19.:13:32.

major. Henrik Stenson, for birdie. He's pushed it passed and wide. He

:13:33.:13:36.

went for it, he didn't leave anything out there. And he fears

:13:37.:13:44.

that he knows he has allowed Justin Rose the opportunity to climb up

:13:45.:13:51.

onto the top tier of the podium. That was an adrenaline pumped

:13:52.:13:54.

putting stroke from Henrik Stenson. He really gave it a wrap. Fraser

:13:55.:14:04.

finished and Rose closer, Stenson has this for his par. When you

:14:05.:14:11.

consider that he has a little bit of adrenaline pumping and he's tasted

:14:12.:14:18.

so far past, it might be a bit tongue in cheek to say, but he has

:14:19.:14:26.

two putts for the Silver Medal -- chased. Matt Kuchar in the clubhouse

:14:27.:14:31.

on 13-under. I think all he's thinking about is making this putt.

:14:32.:14:35.

Absolutely. Stenson is the consummate professional.

:14:36.:14:43.

This has two BA seven and a half foot putt. -- has to be a seven and

:14:44.:14:56.

a half foot. Henrik Stenson of Sweden for his par. Can't make it.

:14:57.:15:09.

So, Rose will have... It is at least a bogey at the last. I think he's

:15:10.:15:16.

going to putt out here. He will putt out. He will drop to 14-under.

:15:17.:15:34.

Henrik Stenson for his birdie and the Silver Medal. Henrik

:15:35.:15:52.

. Justin Rose creating history when he had a

:15:53.:16:09.

the whole of Great Britain is holding this puttER with Justin

:16:10.:16:22.

Rose. The whole of Great Britain is watching now.

:16:23.:16:26.

It is gold. Justin Rose of Great Britain takes Olympic gold in Rio de

:16:27.:16:40.

Janeiro. The winner of the men's individual stroke play Championship

:16:41.:16:48.

after a titanic struggle. The deadlock is broken. It is joy for

:16:49.:16:54.

Great Britain. Olympic gold for Great Britain and Justin Rose.

:16:55.:17:07.

Olympic silver for Henrik Stenson. A quite magnificent final day.

:17:08.:17:19.

What a performance from Justin Rose at what a shot to the 18th green to

:17:20.:17:28.

give himself the birdie putt. He and Henrik Stenson, a great duel. They

:17:29.:17:39.

have never wavered in their support for this being an Olympic sport.

:17:40.:17:44.

Justin Rose was at the opening ceremony and went to as many other

:17:45.:17:47.

sports he could and went to the swimming. He can celebrate he is an

:17:48.:17:54.

Olympic champion, Britain's first in golf and the first since 1904. We

:17:55.:17:58.

will bring you up-to-date on his medal ceremony and hearing from

:17:59.:18:03.

Justin Rose, as well. The 12th gold medal of the games and the 13th is

:18:04.:18:08.

not far away and more good for Giles Scott?

:18:09.:18:14.

It is a wonder of technology you are still seeing us. We caught Giles

:18:15.:18:19.

Scott's final race. Two points away from securing a gold medal. He is

:18:20.:18:26.

about to start the final race. At the end, we could be looking at Team

:18:27.:18:35.

GB's first sailing gold medal here. Fabulous, thanks, surely. Earlier

:18:36.:18:44.

this evening Max Whitlock became Britain's first Olympic champion in

:18:45.:18:47.

the sport of gymnastics, taking a gold medal on the floor and now he

:18:48.:18:50.

is up against his team-mate Louis Smith on the pommel horse.

:18:51.:19:21.

We can hand you over to the gymnastics team, Dan Keatings,

:19:22.:20:18.

Christine Still and Beth Tweddle are alongside Matt Baker.

:20:19.:20:24.

It is time for the big showdown. This is the pommel horse Olympic

:20:25.:20:28.

final and we have already seen Max Whitlock take the gold medal and

:20:29.:20:33.

hour ago. He has had to refocus and the plan now is for both Max

:20:34.:20:38.

Whitlock and Louis Smith together to push each other and the rest of the

:20:39.:20:45.

world and hopefully get the historic gold for Great Britain as far as

:20:46.:20:52.

pommel horse is concerned. There was an element of wonder about whether

:20:53.:20:56.

it was possible for Great Britain to have a champion in gymnastics and

:20:57.:21:00.

that has happened and now all eyes focused on the pommel horse. This is

:21:01.:21:04.

Cyril Thomas Owen, the first ago of the eight qualifiers. Max Whitlock

:21:05.:21:11.

was highest qualifier, Louis Smith second-highest qualifier. And this

:21:12.:21:15.

will come down to difficulty, Dan Keatings. It is. There are gymnasts

:21:16.:21:21.

who can improve their start values and I think four, five of them will

:21:22.:21:26.

do that in this final to try to get on the medal table. Cyril Thomas own

:21:27.:21:29.

was the third highest -- Tommasone. There is a great shot in this

:21:30.:21:52.

competition. I do not want to jinx anything, but we have a really good

:21:53.:21:57.

chance. Christine still in the commentary box. Starting with the

:21:58.:22:04.

flower combinations up into handstand and he let it swing very

:22:05.:22:08.

fast. He had to control the top of it. A very stylish gymnasts. He has

:22:09.:22:15.

medalled at World Championships before. He has never made a gold

:22:16.:22:21.

medal, but lovely lift of the hips. You have to cleared the pommel horse

:22:22.:22:27.

handles as high as possible. You definitely do not want to hit the

:22:28.:22:32.

platform. Lovely travel. You have to work on one handle and travel

:22:33.:22:38.

forwards and backwards. Has to have a big dismount. He had to use a

:22:39.:22:42.

little bit of strength combat dismount, but he got through it

:22:43.:22:48.

well. It is certainly going to be a decent score for the first gymnast.

:22:49.:22:56.

They come in cold. No warm up in the arena. It is always a big challenge

:22:57.:23:01.

to get up on the apparatus as the first performer and go through

:23:02.:23:05.

clean. His legs are locked together beautifully. Very good hand

:23:06.:23:15.

placement. It shows you the strain the wrist takes on this.

:23:16.:23:29.

Executions score, difficulty, the blues added up and execution, the

:23:30.:23:37.

moves and how well you perform them. He looks delighted. He scored 15.65

:23:38.:23:51.

in qualification. It will be the high 15s that are victorious in this

:23:52.:24:01.

final. 15.6 for Tommasone. What you think? I think it is a good score

:24:02.:24:06.

but to win this you will have to be a little bit higher than that.

:24:07.:24:21.

Measured in your response. David Belyavskiy Had disappointment,

:24:22.:24:26.

finishing fourth in the all-around. A Silver Medal in the European

:24:27.:24:31.

Championships on pommel horse and was an Olympic finalist in London.

:24:32.:24:39.

He is probably my most improved gymnasts this year. Control is the

:24:40.:24:42.

first two elements and what about that on one arm? It is a unique

:24:43.:24:49.

move, the only one you will see in this final. He really can swing

:24:50.:24:59.

well. A nice full sprint or on the end and up onto one handle, ensuring

:25:00.:25:05.

he fulfils all the requirements. Travelling along and coming up to

:25:06.:25:11.

the finish of the routine. Into the dismount. Very nice routine. Not

:25:12.:25:22.

sure the score will be up there for style, but the execution well. 15.6

:25:23.:25:29.

is the score to beat. Louis Smith coming up fifth and Max Whitlock

:25:30.:25:39.

seven. That was a great scissor to handstand to start. David Belyavskiy

:25:40.:25:51.

put it in 15.5 in the team final to get Russia the Silver Medal.

:25:52.:26:04.

A little bit ponderous at the dismount. It is so easy to make

:26:05.:26:12.

errors on the pommel horse. The gymnasts are thrilled with all the

:26:13.:26:15.

pressure of a final to get up and get through. 15.6 is the score to

:26:16.:26:29.

beat and he has not done it. 15.4. Difficulty of 6.6. Next up, number

:26:30.:26:33.

three, Alexander Naddour. 15.366 is the highest score he has

:26:34.:26:56.

had here. This is not their strongest piece. It used to be their

:26:57.:27:04.

weakest event and with Alexander Naddour, it has added to their team

:27:05.:27:09.

sport. He is making finals and it is great to see them in the final.

:27:10.:27:13.

Started off really well. Moving into the centre. On one handle. Really

:27:14.:27:25.

nice. Rendell on the end and travelling across with the legs

:27:26.:27:31.

locked together. And again. Into the Magyar -- Magyar. Up into the

:27:32.:27:44.

dismount and wow. He means business. There is so much fire in team USA

:27:45.:27:51.

will stop always handy to get a US gymnast in a final because they

:27:52.:27:55.

inject energy. They do and that's routine built all of the time.

:27:56.:28:00.

Starting hesitantly up to the handstand, but once he got the

:28:01.:28:05.

difficult element is over, he really worked with virtuosity and speed and

:28:06.:28:14.

the American gymnasts, their first competition, fantastic, stormed

:28:15.:28:18.

away, and have not quite found the heights again, do you agree? They

:28:19.:28:23.

felt the pressure in the team final, qualifying at the top of the

:28:24.:28:28.

leaderboard. I think the expectation is what made them falter in the team

:28:29.:28:33.

final. He wanted to put that right today and he has. A rush of -- brush

:28:34.:28:40.

of the handles with the hips. The judges will deduct? Yes. He has put

:28:41.:28:50.

in a 15.7. That is a massive score. The start score was up two tenths

:28:51.:28:54.

from qualification. That could challenge. 15.7 Alexander Naddour

:28:55.:28:57.

leads the competition. The next gymnast, 22 years old, Oleg

:28:58.:29:13.

Verniaiev, in the fight for gold in the all-around competition and he

:29:14.:29:18.

came away with silver but he could surprise us here. I have seen a

:29:19.:29:24.

video on the internet where he did a 7.5 start value, which would be the

:29:25.:29:36.

highest in the world. He is. That will be disappointing for him. It is

:29:37.:29:41.

right at the start so he still has his whole routine to come. He worked

:29:42.:29:48.

so consistently in the all round competition and focused and did not

:29:49.:29:55.

give anything away. I think it was maybe a bit of adrenaline. He went

:29:56.:30:01.

up into handstand and the shoulders were way too far over the handle and

:30:02.:30:09.

that is why he's let down. We want him to finish this off as clean as

:30:10.:30:14.

he can now. A nice triple Russian in the middle of the handles.

:30:15.:30:19.

Slight split again. Looking like he's fighting through this routine

:30:20.:30:33.

at the moment. Now into the final third of his routine. Up, oh, he

:30:34.:30:44.

looks tired. That all-round competition has taken it out of him.

:30:45.:30:49.

Even then, he struggled. He's exhausted. This is the thing with

:30:50.:30:55.

the pommel horse. The judges don't want to see any strength used at

:30:56.:31:01.

all, you have to flow through the routine and it takes a lot of

:31:02.:31:05.

strength to do it and make it look effortless. It does, when you have a

:31:06.:31:10.

little wobble and you are fighting to stay on, your energy is reducing

:31:11.:31:15.

and you start fighting through the different elements. You could tell

:31:16.:31:19.

that he held on for the rest of his routine but he couldn't make it up

:31:20.:31:22.

on the dismount. Although he didn't win the overall title, he pushed so

:31:23.:31:30.

close I think he won his own private battle. I think he's probably

:31:31.:31:38.

suffering a little bit from the emotion it took to produce that. So,

:31:39.:31:54.

no -- Naddour is going to hang on. The next gymnast to go will be Great

:31:55.:32:03.

Britain's Louis Smith. Will he go for his steady routine or will he go

:32:04.:32:07.

all out for difficulty? I think he will go all out for difficulty. He's

:32:08.:32:12.

got a bronze and a silver at the Olympics and I think he really wants

:32:13.:32:17.

the gold. The only way to do that is to go for it, really, especially

:32:18.:32:24.

when Max Whitlock is in the field. I think he's going to go for it,

:32:25.:32:30.

knowing his character. Than I ever, he weren't challenge. Somebody who

:32:31.:32:36.

will challenge, the next gymnast -- Verniaiev. Louis Smith, he has a

:32:37.:32:45.

bronze and a silver at the Olympics. This time he is going for gold.

:32:46.:32:51.

Next, for Great Britain, Louis Smith. Hard-fought four years. This,

:32:52.:33:02.

then, to become the Olympic champion. Straight up into the

:33:03.:33:13.

handstand. And again. Well composed start.

:33:14.:33:18.

Really nice, nation -- combination. Russian to the end. Now he's gone

:33:19.:33:35.

for the lower start value. Can he finish it off? Just the dismount

:33:36.:33:49.

left now. There we go. Good lad! Well done, Louis. He is through his

:33:50.:33:57.

routine without major deduction. He has set the benchmark. That is going

:33:58.:34:05.

to be the score to beat. It will be, I think. That should be enough to

:34:06.:34:09.

put him into first place and now the pressure is on the rest of the

:34:10.:34:14.

finalists. We'll have to see what happens now. We will, will it be

:34:15.:34:20.

four Olympic medals for Louis Smith, and the question is, what colour

:34:21.:34:24.

will it be? I'm delighted for him that he managed to go clean. He

:34:25.:34:28.

started a couple of times in competition this year. -- stuttered.

:34:29.:34:35.

For me, the decision would always have been to go steady and I think

:34:36.:34:42.

it shows how much Louis has matured that he went for the sensible

:34:43.:34:46.

decision. Hopefully it will be enough for him to medal. Lovely

:34:47.:34:54.

performance, much improved with the execution to what I've seen before.

:34:55.:35:08.

The score is in, 15.8333. It will be his fourth Olympic medal, but the

:35:09.:35:13.

question is, what colour will it be? Much improved execution, 8.9. Very

:35:14.:35:21.

impressed. So, Smith leads Naddour with Tommasone in third. The

:35:22.:35:39.

Merdinyan now, the world bronze-medallist. Posted a score of

:35:40.:35:52.

15.583 in the qualification. The score debate, Louis Smith, 15.8 33.

:35:53.:35:54.

-- to beat. Exciting start. The gymnasts have to

:35:55.:36:08.

do double length circles as well as singles. Yes, they do. This is a

:36:09.:36:15.

difference starts to what he did in qualification. The highest ranked

:36:16.:36:23.

move you can do on the pommel. He has a really nice swing, he is

:36:24.:36:28.

packing this routine full of difficulty. Going really well so

:36:29.:36:39.

far. Forward and backwards across the horse. Well, that wasn't the

:36:40.:36:48.

dismount that he planned. No, not at all. His shoulders were in the wrong

:36:49.:36:53.

place and he put the dismount over the pommel horse. He wanted to do

:36:54.:37:01.

half eight: -- half a turn. Not enough, then, to beat Louis Smith.

:37:02.:37:07.

15.833, Louis, we think he will hang on for the moment. What a shame

:37:08.:37:11.

because it was really a well executed, well swung pommel routine.

:37:12.:37:19.

It was, he has a nice style and over the last couple of years he has

:37:20.:37:23.

added difficulty to his routine which is why he has started getting

:37:24.:37:27.

medals on the international stage. He just miscalculated, didn't he? He

:37:28.:37:33.

needed to take his hips higher and the look on his face says it all.

:37:34.:37:38.

Merdinyan was the fourth highest qualifier. We're not going to get an

:37:39.:37:46.

idea of how the difficulty would compare. With the dismount, it

:37:47.:38:00.

wasn't going to plan, really. That's often what happens. You try and

:38:01.:38:03.

increase the difficulty and it affects the execution. To be able to

:38:04.:38:10.

up your level of difficulty and still perform as perfectly is still

:38:11.:38:15.

a test. Louis Smith can now relax and have a chat with Alex Naddour.

:38:16.:38:25.

Louis leads Naddour with Tommasone in third with 15.6. I'm not sure if

:38:26.:38:34.

Kuksenkov can challenge the last group of athletes. I'm not sure, he

:38:35.:38:42.

can up his difficulty value but I haven't seen him do that for a

:38:43.:38:46.

couple of years. The value he would need to compete with that. Two

:38:47.:38:52.

gymnasts left to go in the men's pommel horse Olympic final. Max

:38:53.:38:57.

Whitlock is the penultimate gymnast. 23 years old. Recently crowned the

:38:58.:39:04.

floor Olympic champion. His chance now on the pommel horse. Great start

:39:05.:39:15.

from Max. There is the single Russian on one handle. Now up into

:39:16.:39:32.

the next move. He's done well there. Moving forward and backwards. The

:39:33.:39:37.

Magyar. Can he get it up? Yes, he can. Max

:39:38.:39:53.

Whitlock has done everything he can. It is now down to the judges. It's

:39:54.:40:03.

going to be close. There was a slight stall on the Busnari. I don't

:40:04.:40:18.

know! That is too close to call. 7.2, there. I don't know if it was

:40:19.:40:25.

quite as clean. You can see on the Busnari that he bent his legs on the

:40:26.:40:32.

way down but it depends what Kuksenkov can do last. What a

:40:33.:40:40.

fantastic performance from the British guys, showing the strength

:40:41.:40:46.

under pressure. To be fighting each other is just unbelievable. Well,

:40:47.:40:54.

Max qualified with a score mag of 15.8, he got 15.91 in the team

:40:55.:41:01.

final. And Max Whitlock has gone ahead of Louis Smith with a score of

:41:02.:41:07.

15.9 66. The world champion is in the lead with one gymnasts to go.

:41:08.:41:12.

Bash Mac -- gymnast. As it stands, Max

:41:13.:41:23.

Whitlock is leading the men's pommel horse final, Louis Smith is in the

:41:24.:41:28.

Silver Medal position and Alex Naddour in third. The final to go,

:41:29.:41:36.

Kuksenkov. He qualified fifth and the highest tea has scored is 15.3

:41:37.:41:45.

83. -- highest he has scored. Really classical classy gymnast but he

:41:46.:41:50.

wavered at the top of the handstand. He recovered well. Shows all the

:41:51.:41:59.

hallmarks of a great training regime. He does. Quite a big error

:42:00.:42:03.

at the start on the scissor to the handstand, not closing his legs

:42:04.:42:08.

which is a huge deduction from the judges. Nice Flair work, two

:42:09.:42:18.

Busnaris which is huge. The flairs are a real crowd pleaser. The

:42:19.:42:37.

Magyar. Into the dismount. Ooh. He fought to the end, but there were

:42:38.:42:43.

definite mistakes. That will not challenge, so Max Whitlock is now a

:42:44.:42:49.

double Olympic champion. That is amazing. Louis Smith will get a

:42:50.:42:57.

Silver Medal. But what about this, what about that young man, Max

:42:58.:43:01.

Whitlock? He'll take the gold in Rio. Louis Smith will take silver

:43:02.:43:09.

and Alex Naddour will be looking eagerly at the scoreboard to see if

:43:10.:43:14.

Kuksenkov will knock out of bird. I doubt it. -- out of third. You can't

:43:15.:43:26.

take it for granted. Great from Max Whitlock, unbelievable. Bronze in

:43:27.:43:29.

the all-round, the Olympic champion on the floor and now the Olympic

:43:30.:43:33.

champion on the pommel horse. That is unbelievable, I never thought we

:43:34.:43:38.

would have an elliptic champion across two pieces of apparatus. --

:43:39.:43:46.

Olympic champion. No Briton has ever got two finals medals in one day.

:43:47.:43:51.

And in the highest level of competition we have ever seen. This

:43:52.:43:57.

men's competition has been very competitive. The teams have been

:43:58.:44:02.

fighting to their limits. We've seen the greatest gymnast ever in

:44:03.:44:11.

Uchimura. To be able to take two gold medals in that kind of field is

:44:12.:44:17.

quite amazing. Great credit to the British programme, the British men's

:44:18.:44:30.

programme, and the coach of Louis Smith. It is a score which confirms

:44:31.:44:39.

that Great Britain has made history again. In one hour, it is remarkable

:44:40.:44:47.

what we are witnessing here. It is a special age in British gymnastics.

:44:48.:44:53.

There is the man of the moment, Max Whitlock, the double Olympic

:44:54.:44:58.

champion. First on the floor, the first final of the day, and now on

:44:59.:45:05.

the pommel horse. It is all of the men and women competing in two

:45:06.:45:09.

finals today and he has won both of them. Alex Naddour, for the US,

:45:10.:45:17.

takes the bronze. Historic bronze for them on the pommel horse. Great

:45:18.:45:23.

Britain's Louis Smith takes silver, as he did in London 2012.

:45:24.:45:27.

he can now. A nice triple Russian in the middle of the handles.

:45:28.:45:34.

I don't think Max can quite believe it. That is an outstanding

:45:35.:45:43.

achievement. I am lost for words. Dan, you were at the Olympics eight

:45:44.:45:48.

years ago and even then we did not have a team in Beijing, you were one

:45:49.:45:53.

of two individuals. Our gymnastics team was not good enough to qualify

:45:54.:45:59.

in the top 12 for men. The rise over the past years has been incredible

:46:00.:46:04.

and Max came onto the scene in 2012, maybe Olympics, got a bronze medal,

:46:05.:46:10.

and from there has kicked on with being European champion,

:46:11.:46:14.

Commonwealth champion, world champion. Now he has this. He has

:46:15.:46:21.

done everything. Louis Smith, he keeps going and going. So successful

:46:22.:46:25.

in this sport now. There is confirmation. One and two, GB.

:46:26.:46:36.

We have been watching from the Velodrome where a gold medal and

:46:37.:46:42.

silver medal for Team GB is guaranteed later because the final

:46:43.:46:46.

of the men's sprint will be between team-mates Callum Skinner and Jason

:46:47.:46:51.

Kenny. Chris Hoy is a good historian of sport and he thinks Max Whitlock

:46:52.:46:56.

might be the first British Olympian to win two gold medals on the same

:46:57.:47:01.

day for different things, I think before it might have been someone

:47:02.:47:05.

like Richard Bede. That is all I can think of. Individual medals on the

:47:06.:47:17.

same day, amazing -- Meade. The ripple effect on British gymnastics

:47:18.:47:22.

for the next four, eight, 12 years. It is a huge achievement for Max and

:47:23.:47:29.

his coach and family but for British gymnastics, the rise of gymnastics

:47:30.:47:32.

over the past eight years has been incredible. We hope to for one

:47:33.:47:40.

Olympic gold and a silver but come away with a double Olympic champion

:47:41.:47:45.

is insane. On the floor, he went early and then had to sit and wait

:47:46.:47:51.

for other people'sscores. Maybe it meant he could go into the pommel

:47:52.:47:54.

horse and think anything that happens here is a bonus. He wanted

:47:55.:47:59.

an Olympic gold medal so much and to take it early on the floor it took

:48:00.:48:03.

the pressure off the pommel horse and I watched Louis Smith watching

:48:04.:48:09.

Max's routine. It is hard to watch. They are team-mates and they want

:48:10.:48:12.

the individual gold medal and when Max's score came up Louis Smith was

:48:13.:48:20.

devastated. If we head over to the golf, the medal ceremony is in

:48:21.:48:25.

progress and Justin Rose, the first golf Olympic champion since 1904. He

:48:26.:48:31.

said when he reflected on his career he would love it to say multi Major

:48:32.:48:36.

winner and Olympic champion. His Olympic dream has come true. And

:48:37.:48:42.

this happening a few moments ago. He almost can't believe it. He held off

:48:43.:48:49.

Henrik Stenson. A birdie for Justin Rose at the last and a bogey for

:48:50.:48:54.

Henrik Stenson meant that Justin Rose could enjoy his final shot. His

:48:55.:49:00.

moment of glory and he will enjoy the national anthem being played in

:49:01.:49:02.

his honour. Ladies and gentlemen, the national

:49:03.:49:12.

anthem of Great Britain. I know people doubted golf coming

:49:13.:50:14.

back to the Olympics, but Justin Rose never had any doubt, he was a

:50:15.:50:18.

huge supporter and was desperate to make the team and made the team with

:50:19.:50:22.

Danny Willett and he is Olympic golf champion and I'm sure we will hear

:50:23.:50:28.

from him later. In the Velodrome tonight, a gold medal and silver

:50:29.:50:32.

medal guaranteed for Great Britain but first up we will catch up on how

:50:33.:50:40.

Becky James and Katy Marchant are getting on. The men's omnium will

:50:41.:50:48.

stop Mark Cavendish's one chance to add an Olympic medal to his

:50:49.:50:55.

incredible cycling CV. Scratch races and then individual pursuit and the

:50:56.:51:00.

elimination race at 11:15pm and between that Jason Kenny against

:51:01.:51:04.

Callum Skinner. The best-of-3, so it might not go to the third decider

:51:05.:51:10.

but that will be a terrific tussle. Everybody impressed with Callum

:51:11.:51:13.

Skinner. Jason Kenny, the defending champion. Sprinting has always been

:51:14.:51:21.

something British cyclists are good at and Becky James having won in the

:51:22.:51:26.

keirin yesterday is hoping to put herself in position for another

:51:27.:51:31.

medal. This was her qualifying round a few moments ago.

:51:32.:51:34.

COMMENTATOR: Becky James on the track 24 hours after winning the

:51:35.:51:46.

keirin. She starts her sprint campaign here. We are looking for

:51:47.:51:51.

somewhere in the region of 10.7. Rumours from the training camp are

:51:52.:51:55.

that she is capable of that but that is what it will take to qualify well

:51:56.:52:04.

in this event. The Olympic record, 10.724, set by Victoria Pendleton in

:52:05.:52:11.

London four years ago. Becky James will start to wind it up and get on

:52:12.:52:22.

top of that gear. The timer starts as she went over the white line.

:52:23.:52:26.

Down the back straight. Powering around the bottom of the track. Now

:52:27.:52:34.

into the finishing straight. 10.721, a new Olympic record! Becky James

:52:35.:52:41.

starts in style in the women's sprint. Those were the rumours

:52:42.:52:46.

coming from the camp, that she was on for. An emotional high after the

:52:47.:53:00.

medal yesterday. A great wind-up. Excellent execution. That brought

:53:01.:53:04.

the crowd to life in the Velodrome, for the first time this afternoon.

:53:05.:53:06.

This, the opening event. She is fastest. Ahead of Anna

:53:07.:53:20.

Meares. Meanwhile, Max Whitlock, his second medal ceremony of the day. It

:53:21.:53:24.

means Great Britain now sit second in the medals table. Max Whitlock is

:53:25.:53:31.

now a double Olympic champion. Alexander Naddour receiving his

:53:32.:53:47.

bronze medal. Seventh at the World Championships last year and now

:53:48.:53:51.

standing on the medal podium at the Olympic Games. It is Great Britain

:53:52.:53:58.

silver and gold. Alexander Naddour takes the bronze

:53:59.:54:15.

in this men's pommel final. And silver goes to Great Britain's Louis

:54:16.:54:17.

Smith. Bronze in Beijing, a silver in

:54:18.:54:45.

London 2012 and silver in Rio. It has been a real battle for Louis

:54:46.:54:49.

Smith over the last four years to make it here.

:54:50.:55:00.

He has put so much into the sport and done so much for British

:55:01.:55:11.

gymnastics. All of his efforts have made the British team what it is

:55:12.:55:13.

today. Max Whitlock!

:55:14.:55:42.

APPLAUSE. What an hour it has been for this

:55:43.:55:47.

23-year-old. He is now double Olympic champion. He was victorious

:55:48.:55:51.

on floor and has now beaten everybody here on pommel horse. Max

:55:52.:56:03.

Whitlock takes gold. Remarkable composure to be able to refocus and

:56:04.:56:12.

come back out here and take gold in front of tough, tough competition.

:56:13.:56:25.

Max Whitlock. Now pommel horse Olympic champion, as well. We will

:56:26.:56:34.

pause and wait for two union flags to be raised high here in the arena.

:56:35.:56:45.

It is quite hard to put into context what has gone on in the last hour

:56:46.:57:41.

and a half, but we now have a double Olympic champion in gymnastics,

:57:42.:57:43.

something we all could never have imagined.

:57:44.:57:55.

STUDIO: What a day for Max Whitlock and for Louis Smith, congratulations

:57:56.:58:05.

to him. Once again he takes silver. An extraordinary time for British

:58:06.:58:09.

gymnastics and it is wonderful and I know the team will be really choked.

:58:10.:58:16.

It is brilliant. Justin Rose has won gold in the goal. Andy Murray's

:58:17.:58:22.

match against Del Potro has not yet started so you are not missing

:58:23.:58:28.

anything. The doubles final has just finished so the singles should be in

:58:29.:58:32.

ten minutes and that might start on BBC Four but we will hopefully bring

:58:33.:58:37.

the best of it on BBC One. Becky James is fastest so far in

:58:38.:58:42.

qualifying for the women's sprint. Let's see how her team-mate Katy

:58:43.:58:44.

Marchant went. Onto the track for the first time

:58:45.:58:53.

here at the Rio Olympics. A former heptathlete. Competed for Great

:58:54.:59:04.

Britain in the 2012 junior championships but suggested she

:59:05.:59:08.

would make a good cyclists. It seems to have paid off. She has had

:59:09.:59:21.

considerable success. Looking to qualifying. I am sure we will see an

:59:22.:59:29.

excellent ride. Katy Marchant into her qualifying ride. What can she

:59:30.:59:43.

come up with? Full gas. 10.7 87. The second fastest time so far. Just a

:59:44.:59:49.

little slower than Becky James, but an excellent start to the

:59:50.:59:53.

competition from Katy Marchant. I think you are seeing the product of

:59:54.:59:57.

training in the same environment where your yardstick is the

:59:58.:00:01.

team-mates and when your team-mate is among the fastest and has just

:00:02.:00:05.

set the Olympic record, that is what you're measuring yourself against.

:00:06.:00:10.

Perhaps no surprise the standards are high because they train with

:00:11.:00:11.

each other all of the time. Britain's Louis Smith takes silver,

:00:12.:00:14.

as he did in London 2012. We will pick out the qualifying in a

:00:15.:00:21.

moment to see if anybody can get ahead of Becky James's record, which

:00:22.:00:28.

is from London. We saw how far she was going in the keirin, she was

:00:29.:00:36.

10.8 in the final, four abreast. So from that we knew she was on great

:00:37.:00:42.

form and she has proven it. In terms of their training, who is normally

:00:43.:00:46.

quicker, Katie or Becky? Katie has been quicker over the 200 metres

:00:47.:00:52.

over the last year and half, but not much in it. It just shows, the

:00:53.:00:58.

morale that Becky has for the Silver Medal has given her a boost. Both of

:00:59.:01:03.

them are in the fight now. It will be terrific to see and then they

:01:04.:01:07.

will go through to the round of 16 tonight. Tomorrow is the second

:01:08.:01:11.

round, the eight finals and quarterfinals and semifinals I think

:01:12.:01:16.

and then the final will be on whatever day we are on now! We've

:01:17.:01:21.

totally lost track, Great Britain are having a phenomenal Games and

:01:22.:01:24.

the gold medals are coming so fast from so many different directions

:01:25.:01:29.

that we almost can't keep track of them. It's a nice problem to have. I

:01:30.:01:36.

know! The latest from Max Whitlock -- Max Whitlock on the pommel horse

:01:37.:01:39.

and we will get reaction shortly. Louis Smith first. We can see that

:01:40.:01:48.

the tears are still fresh on your cheeks, what does this medal mean to

:01:49.:01:52.

you? It is incredible. So many different emotions. I would have

:01:53.:02:00.

liked to have got a goal. But to be here, incredible achievement --

:02:01.:02:04.

gold. I had so many negative comments when the team selection was

:02:05.:02:09.

made, that I shouldn't be in the team and to have messed up in the

:02:10.:02:13.

team final and to have a week until now, I was dealing with a lot

:02:14.:02:17.

emotionally and mentally. To come and do that routine, it means so

:02:18.:02:24.

much. Is this the release of a lot of pressure that has been building

:02:25.:02:28.

up after the team final, and also coming back and the comments about

:02:29.:02:33.

your inclusion? Yes, so many things. The amount of pride I'm feeling,

:02:34.:02:37.

I've been speaking to my mum a lot, she is at home, she didn't come here

:02:38.:02:42.

to watch, and she has been worried. To go through that under that much

:02:43.:02:48.

pressure, how I was feeling... It made so much. I've been in this

:02:49.:02:53.

sport for two decades, I'm 27, I don't know if this is my last

:02:54.:02:57.

Olympics and to do that routine, I'm very happy. Fantastic test of your

:02:58.:03:03.

longevity because you have won medals at three different Olympics.

:03:04.:03:09.

Yes, two silvers and one bronze. The pommel horse, I've still got it. And

:03:10.:03:14.

the other man who has got it, Max, give us a word about him because you

:03:15.:03:19.

have witnessed not just one historic gold but two today. Oh, it's

:03:20.:03:24.

incredible. I kept my eye on the floor final. It is hard to keep your

:03:25.:03:29.

composure when your team-mate has won a gold medal on the floor, so I

:03:30.:03:34.

tried to stay as focused as I could. Max has been the star of this

:03:35.:03:38.

competition, all-round, individual, two golds, incredible.

:03:39.:03:43.

Congratulations, all the best. The other thing I'm thinking, listening

:03:44.:03:47.

to that and reflecting on the performances, how much Mitch fellow

:03:48.:03:52.

would have enjoyed that, part of the BBC commentary team, who died

:03:53.:03:57.

earlier this year. He would have been so proud, two golds and a

:03:58.:04:05.

silver in the space of half an hour. Incredible. Max, the double Olympic

:04:06.:04:12.

champion, try and put it into words for us. It is very tough, the

:04:13.:04:18.

expectations going in, never would have said that, it is incredible. We

:04:19.:04:26.

expected and hoped for something big on the pommel horse but the floor

:04:27.:04:32.

was a big surprise. The same as me, a surprise, I never expect to get a

:04:33.:04:36.

medal, even thinking about it, I go to do my job. Hours and years in the

:04:37.:04:42.

gym and you get about one minute to show what you've been working on. To

:04:43.:04:46.

do it at the Olympic Games, I'm just so happy. After that drama, the gold

:04:47.:04:51.

medal, how did you compose yourself and do it a second time? I kind

:04:52.:04:58.

of... I knew I had to be focused. It was hard to take it in. Now I can

:04:59.:05:05.

take them in at the same time. I got emotional, I wasn't watching any

:05:06.:05:13.

routines. I knew I had to think that I had one more job to do, get back

:05:14.:05:18.

into the training and do it and it has paid off massively. You are a

:05:19.:05:22.

history maker and we are all very proud of you but what do you think

:05:23.:05:26.

this will do for gymnastics? Hopefully a lot, making history is

:05:27.:05:30.

an incredible feeling and for Team GB and British gymnastics, hopefully

:05:31.:05:35.

it can inspire others. The team and Louis have done amazing. Hopefully

:05:36.:05:41.

the future is bright. Many congratulations, enjoy the moment.

:05:42.:05:48.

Thank you. You could see that release, not at finishing the

:05:49.:05:51.

interview, but the day he has had, two gold medals, the world champion,

:05:52.:05:57.

European champion and the Commonwealth champion, at the top of

:05:58.:06:02.

his game. Qualifying for the women's sprint, is Becky James and Katie

:06:03.:06:06.

Marchant can stay fastest and second fastest, is that like Callum Skinner

:06:07.:06:09.

and Jason Kenny, going different ways in the draw? Exactly, it would

:06:10.:06:17.

be the perfect scenario. I don't think we expected them to top the

:06:18.:06:22.

qualifying. We have one more to go. Stephanie Morton now of Australia.

:06:23.:06:29.

COMMENTATOR: Only three more to go. This is the first of them, the

:06:30.:06:32.

common world sprint champion. If anyone can topple Becky James' time,

:06:33.:06:39.

more than is one of only two who can in my opinion -- a Commonwealth.

:06:40.:06:59.

Stephanie Morton looking to set her qualifying time, the final 200

:07:00.:07:05.

metres at the start of the women's sprint qualification. Becky James

:07:06.:07:12.

has set the time to beat. 10.8 75. They can't sustain that speed

:07:13.:07:16.

through the whole 200 metres. She'll be disappointed, I'm sure. She was

:07:17.:07:23.

the fastest qualifier at the World Championships. The Australians, as a

:07:24.:07:31.

team, things aren't going well. Is that of capitalising on their form

:07:32.:07:34.

from the World Championships, they seem to have crumbled. More than

:07:35.:07:39.

will be disappointed. 10.7 at the World Championships but slipping up

:07:40.:07:45.

when it counts. This is Kristina Vogel, the world champion in two of

:07:46.:07:51.

three of the last years. The world record holder. I don't think she is

:07:52.:07:58.

in the form that she was when she said that. 10.721 is the fastest

:07:59.:08:04.

time so far. Here comes Kristina Vogel, building up the speed at the

:08:05.:08:08.

top of the track. She has technique and she's going for the long and

:08:09.:08:20.

leisurely curve around. Down to the back straight, banking down to our

:08:21.:08:25.

left. Just around the time of Becky James. And third time, outside the

:08:26.:08:31.

time of Becky James. The fifth quickest. It surprising, isn't it?

:08:32.:08:43.

She went for a really big gear and if you don't get on top of it

:08:44.:08:48.

immediately, there is no way to build into the right. Surprising

:08:49.:08:57.

performances, I have to say -- the ride. Some

:08:58.:09:04.

the last rider in qualifying, the world champion. She has posted 10.7s

:09:05.:09:25.

before. As she moved on since the World Championships? Conditions are

:09:26.:09:31.

nice and warm, about 30 degrees. The only rider who can top the time of

:09:32.:09:38.

Becky James. Slightly changing the seeding order. Out of the saddle,

:09:39.:09:44.

driving down the home straight. Powering into the banking away to

:09:45.:09:48.

our left. Not going to do it, though. That is the fifth fastest

:09:49.:09:58.

time and just as in the men's's match sprint, the two fastest

:09:59.:10:01.

qualifiers in the 27 rider field are both British. Skinner and Kenny for

:10:02.:10:08.

the men and now it is Marchant and Becky James for Great Britain. Both

:10:09.:10:13.

of them really quick. Becky James setting a new Olympic world record

:10:14.:10:19.

time. Katie Marchant performing fantastically to produce the second

:10:20.:10:25.

quickest time. They aren't doing anything super special. This is what

:10:26.:10:29.

we thought it would be. The others are going slower than the qualifying

:10:30.:10:34.

in the World Championships, so the British again have peaked at the

:10:35.:10:41.

right time. And there is the confirmation of qualifying for the

:10:42.:10:46.

women's sprint. Great Britain, one and two. Not a bad start to the

:10:47.:10:50.

evening and still to come at the velodrome, Mark Cavendish in action

:10:51.:10:54.

in three events of the men's omnium, six in total and at about 9pm,

:10:55.:11:00.

because they are running late, Jason Kenny up against Callum Skinner.

:11:01.:11:06.

Guaranteed GB gold and silver in the best of three men's sprint finals.

:11:07.:11:11.

But let's go back to the golf and remind you how Justin Rose became

:11:12.:11:15.

Britain's's first ever Olympic champion in this sport and the first

:11:16.:11:21.

since 1904. It was a tap in final putt for birdie on 18. Grabbing his

:11:22.:11:27.

badge, a moment of delight for him. This is what he said about it

:11:28.:11:32.

afterwards. Justin, congratulations, you are the Olympic champion. Before

:11:33.:11:38.

these Games, some people said that golf had no place at the Olympics.

:11:39.:11:42.

You are wearing the gold medal, told them they are wrong, how it feels.

:11:43.:11:46.

Absolutely wrong, every single player who came here will admit they

:11:47.:11:51.

have had the most amazing week, potentially of their golfing lives

:11:52.:11:53.

because it has been so unique and different. The competition has been

:11:54.:11:58.

first class, up against Henrik Stenson, the best in the world right

:11:59.:12:03.

now, it was a huge challenge and that is what the Olympics is about,

:12:04.:12:07.

about the best bringing their game on the day and today proved to be a

:12:08.:12:13.

great final and a great final round. The medal ceremony was a surreal

:12:14.:12:17.

experience, it really was, something I've seen before in many times, but

:12:18.:12:22.

seeing Matt and Henrik up there, it was something to behold. It must

:12:23.:12:26.

have been completely new for you because you don't tend to sing the

:12:27.:12:31.

national anthem the way you did. I started singing and all I could hear

:12:32.:12:36.

was myself. Normally using it in a stadium with other people and I

:12:37.:12:40.

realised how bad my singing is! I medalled through the words, I think

:12:41.:12:44.

I got most of their right. It was an amazing experience. Do you think of

:12:45.:12:53.

the way that you came down neck and neck, what a great showcase. It is

:12:54.:13:00.

something I focused on, something I wanted to be at my peak for. It has

:13:01.:13:07.

been at the 4th fight -- the forefront over the last few months.

:13:08.:13:12.

Hopefully it was an exciting finish and people can get into it. I

:13:13.:13:17.

believe it was a great showcase for the first time golf in the Olympics

:13:18.:13:24.

in 112 years. Holding your nerve, congratulations. My mind is

:13:25.:13:28.

scrambled right now, I'm just taking it all in. Enjoyed it. Brilliant

:13:29.:13:34.

from Justin Rose. News from Shirley Robertson in the sailing.

:13:35.:13:44.

Literally... I think those pictures may have gone. I think they are so

:13:45.:13:54.

far out but it is a gold medal for Giles Scott, confirmed. That is

:13:55.:14:06.

confirmed. Can we see the medal table? I don't know if it has been

:14:07.:14:12.

updated. Alongside me I have two members of the women's team pursuit

:14:13.:14:16.

who took gold last night, Joanna Rowsell-Shand is with me and Elinor

:14:17.:14:22.

Barker as well. Laura Trott is still competing. Jo, congratulations.

:14:23.:14:28.

Before we talk to you, let's let you see how you won gold. COMMENTATOR:

:14:29.:14:31.

The world champions, the United States of America, against Great

:14:32.:14:35.

Britain, the four time world champions. What an Olympic final we

:14:36.:14:42.

have on our hands here. The one kilometre mark. Advantage slightly

:14:43.:14:43.

to the United States. and now Great Britain are starting

:14:44.:15:04.

to turn the screw here. Now the pressure is on the American team.

:15:05.:15:10.

The final lap of the Olympic final. It is going to be a ride to glory

:15:11.:15:15.

for Great Britain. Up towards the line, it is gold for Great Britain,

:15:16.:15:17.

and smashing the world record! Those are four very happy faces.

:15:18.:15:47.

Just to clarify in the sailing, Giles Scott cannot be beaten, he

:15:48.:15:51.

will win gold but it will not count until the race is complete on

:15:52.:15:57.

Tuesday. Jo, the second Olympic gold medal in a row. Coming back and

:15:58.:16:04.

trying to defend it, it is harder than I thought it would be. Having

:16:05.:16:09.

four years of the pressure of being Olympic champion, everything you do

:16:10.:16:14.

for four years, everybody expects you to win. You are Olympic champion

:16:15.:16:19.

everywhere you go and to come back and defend this, it was a harder

:16:20.:16:27.

task than I thought. When it is harder, does it mean you enjoy the

:16:28.:16:31.

moment more on the podium, because you know how much it took? I feel

:16:32.:16:35.

proud getting through the process and doing it all again. Massive

:16:36.:16:41.

respect to Chris for how many he has won. I did not know how tough it

:16:42.:16:45.

would be coming back to do it again and you have done it... Four times

:16:46.:16:52.

defending. Six bike races. Incredibly proud. In some ways

:16:53.:17:00.

tougher, so it makes it special, but nothing will ever top London, the

:17:01.:17:05.

home games. A terrific atmosphere there, but for you, this tops London

:17:06.:17:11.

because you did not ride in London. What has it been like? Incredible.

:17:12.:17:17.

The past 24 hours have flown by. It has been the most bizarre and

:17:18.:17:21.

amazing experience. The ten minutes after crossing the line is the best

:17:22.:17:26.

ten minutes of my life and I do not think I will top that. What about

:17:27.:17:31.

the pressure going into the final with the Americans setting a fast

:17:32.:17:36.

time. Did you feel as if you were at the limit in the semifinal, did you

:17:37.:17:42.

know you have more to give? We were on the limit in the semifinal. We

:17:43.:17:47.

cruised over the line a little bit. We knew we had more to give. We did

:17:48.:17:58.

not expect a world record. Breaking the world record was a massive

:17:59.:18:02.

confidence boost. It took a bit of Russia off the final to know that we

:18:03.:18:06.

had gone faster without trying our hardest. Was it the same in the

:18:07.:18:15.

final? Did you attack harder from the start, did you expect the

:18:16.:18:19.

Americans to come at you, were you running your own raise? We expected

:18:20.:18:24.

them to start fast. We almost said we had to ride our own race. I do

:18:25.:18:34.

not know how it came off. Something worked out. Mainly sticking to our

:18:35.:18:39.

own race strategy and squeezing it a little bit faster at the end. There

:18:40.:18:44.

is a lot of British support in the Velodrome. It feels like it is a

:18:45.:18:48.

British friendly crowd. Can you hear them? I think they are mainly

:18:49.:19:00.

Barkers! Is it your family? ! They are in all the photos and

:19:01.:19:04.

newspapers. They have had an amazing time. This was the moment. How much

:19:05.:19:10.

did you pay attention to the hype about the American bikes and the

:19:11.:19:15.

left-hand drive chain and aerodynamics and they had found two,

:19:16.:19:19.

three seconds from the bikes. Did you see it as mind games, bluffing?

:19:20.:19:27.

I found it really interesting. Nothing I have seen before. That

:19:28.:19:32.

innovation is exciting. It is something you cannot control so I

:19:33.:19:35.

thought there was no point in worrying about it. We felt confident

:19:36.:19:41.

on our bikes. We wondered how much faster and another could be by

:19:42.:19:45.

moving the chain to the other side. Is it something you might try? We

:19:46.:19:49.

have not talked about it. They did not drink it out with enough time

:19:50.:19:55.

for us to have a go which was clever of them. Maybe we can try it for

:19:56.:20:06.

Tokyo. We have to give credit to that surge your team-mate put in. It

:20:07.:20:13.

snapped the elastic at that point. The splits were close. Katie is

:20:14.:20:20.

incredibly strong and when she is on top form, she is unbeatable. She was

:20:21.:20:32.

the hero of the race. How much have you learned from Jo and Laura, and

:20:33.:20:37.

benefited from their experience, or were you not fazed by coming to an

:20:38.:20:40.

Olympics for the first time? A little bit of both. I have been

:20:41.:20:48.

riding with the team four years. My first team visit was the first race

:20:49.:20:54.

after the London games. You saw so much information and there are

:20:55.:20:58.

stories going around from previous Games about how things were in the

:20:59.:21:02.

village and the track and I built up a picture. Riding with the girls

:21:03.:21:06.

four years on the track, learning the tricks of the trade, everything

:21:07.:21:11.

you should do on the bike is the fastest you can be. You as a team

:21:12.:21:18.

were celebrating. You having your second gold medal. Laura Trott,

:21:19.:21:23.

winning three Olympic golds, the first British woman. She had

:21:24.:21:28.

sustained competition. How impressed were you? We were super impressed,

:21:29.:21:33.

but we did expect it. We knew if we won the team pursuit she would have

:21:34.:21:40.

that accolade, but she cannot relax. She has two more days of bike

:21:41.:21:47.

racing. She is the current world champion and defending Olympic

:21:48.:21:51.

champion in the omnium. Although she gets nervous on race day, she can

:21:52.:21:56.

perform under pressure and still go out there and beat the best in the

:21:57.:22:00.

world, which separates have from other talented riders. She does not

:22:01.:22:07.

buckle under the pressure of being Olympic champion. What would you say

:22:08.:22:13.

the secret is of your teamwork? We spend a lot of time training

:22:14.:22:18.

together in Manchester and live in each other's pockets. Up to three

:22:19.:22:24.

sessions per day. And in the gym. Training camps, so much time

:22:25.:22:31.

together to the point where I can tell when riding behind someone,

:22:32.:22:35.

their body language, how they are going that day. I can tell from

:22:36.:22:41.

somebody's walk, wiggle behind how they feeling. I can tell every rider

:22:42.:22:47.

from behind how they are feeling and when you know each other that well,

:22:48.:22:52.

you have 100% trusting each other, and you can tell how people are

:22:53.:22:57.

feeling in the race. Will you go on another four years? We will see. We

:22:58.:23:02.

have things planned in off-season. Weddings to go to, a holiday. For

:23:03.:23:09.

me, the next thing is the Commonwealth Games in 2018. Try to

:23:10.:23:15.

break it into two year chunks. I will worry about that first before

:23:16.:23:21.

an Olympic Games. I know there will be more for you to come.

:23:22.:23:28.

Congratulations. I know you will stay to cheer your team-mates and

:23:29.:23:32.

Laura Trott in the omnium, which starts in two days, I think. Yes.

:23:33.:23:37.

Tomorrow, it starts tomorrow. The men's omnium has started and it is

:23:38.:23:43.

the first chance for Mark Cavendish to win himself an Olympic medal.

:23:44.:23:57.

Mark, another Olympic Games, how are you feeling? I am excited. We have a

:23:58.:24:06.

great group around us. I know all the team, the women, the men, the

:24:07.:24:12.

sprint, from every aspect. I know the times. Half of the team have

:24:13.:24:16.

smashed the Tour de France on the road. Great times to be on a

:24:17.:24:21.

bicycle. How much confidence do you take off the back of a successful

:24:22.:24:25.

tour, wearing the yellow jersey? I made every day camp this year and so

:24:26.:24:31.

I knew where I would be this July and August period. My morale has

:24:32.:24:36.

picked up. I know everything I have done has worked and if I can quickly

:24:37.:24:42.

transition to the track, I am on a bike, but people do not realise how

:24:43.:24:47.

hard it is to go from road to track. It is like a Formula 1 driver doing

:24:48.:24:53.

rallycross. He will do well, it is driving, but it is not quite the

:24:54.:24:58.

same. It is about transition and if I can do that quickly I have a

:24:59.:25:03.

chance. You are world champion, 30 stages on the tour. Where does the

:25:04.:25:12.

Olympics it? It is that one thing I have not done. Within my physicality

:25:13.:25:16.

I have done everything I can except win the Olympic Games. It is not

:25:17.:25:24.

going to define my career. As a British athlete, it will define my

:25:25.:25:29.

career and it is the same on a personal level. I am patriotically.

:25:30.:25:36.

The Olympics is the highest thing. Personally, as a British sports

:25:37.:25:39.

person, it is a big thing. You went to Beijing and the madison did not

:25:40.:25:44.

come off. You were the one to watch in the road race in 2012. The

:25:45.:25:50.

positives I can take from those Olympics, I set a date that year

:25:51.:25:54.

when I wanted to be in my best condition and both times I was in

:25:55.:25:58.

the best condition I could be. I believe I was one of the strongest

:25:59.:26:03.

if not the strongest in the race. I knew we did it right the last two

:26:04.:26:10.

times. For me, every single day counts this year, to be in the best

:26:11.:26:14.

form possible for those days at the Olympics. The omnium for first-time

:26:15.:26:21.

watchers, it is like the decathlon on the track. I am confident for it.

:26:22.:26:28.

I have worked on the events I was weaker act. I am confident with the

:26:29.:26:33.

equipment we have and training I have got and with my form that I

:26:34.:26:40.

will be in with a good medal shot. We will see Mark Cavendish in the

:26:41.:26:43.

first of his events shortly. Meanwhile, Andy Murray walking out

:26:44.:26:53.

on court to face one Del Potro in the gold medal match.

:26:54.:27:00.

Judy Murray is not here, she is watching from home. A lot of fans

:27:01.:27:04.

from Argentina. There is coverage of that on BBC Four. We will stay in

:27:05.:27:13.

the Velodrome because the men's sprint finals, Jason Kenny against

:27:14.:27:18.

Callum Skinner, are coming up within the next 45 minutes. The men's

:27:19.:27:25.

omnium. Six events, Chris. Mark Cavendish, he hugely wants to win an

:27:26.:27:30.

Olympic medal. It is the one thing missing. He had a disaster in

:27:31.:27:35.

Beijing. It starts with this, the scratch race, which means? It is a

:27:36.:27:41.

15 kilometres race and it is the first person across the line who

:27:42.:27:47.

wins it. Everybody together. You can attack. The American rider has made

:27:48.:27:52.

a move. You can sit with the bunch and be patient, go for the sprint.

:27:53.:27:57.

We saw Mark Cavendish making a breakaway with a Danish rider. It

:27:58.:28:00.

looked dangerous but the bunch brought them back. Cav is a canny

:28:01.:28:10.

rider and this is probably one of his strongest events in the omnium.

:28:11.:28:15.

He has three events today. And three tomorrow and it is the cumulative

:28:16.:28:21.

points total with a waiting on the final event. Extra points for that.

:28:22.:28:26.

That is one of the strongest events and hopefully it will play into his

:28:27.:28:32.

hands. We can join commentary and work out where Mark Cavendish is.

:28:33.:28:37.

Chris Boardman and Simon Brotherton. 16 laps to go. The Belgians swinging

:28:38.:28:45.

up allowing Bobby leave from the US to come through and those two have

:28:46.:28:51.

half a lap on the rest of the field. Lasse Hansen, the Danish rider and

:28:52.:28:58.

the German, who won the silver medal in the World Championship of the --

:28:59.:29:07.

they are the two chasing. Mark Cavendish had a go early and it was

:29:08.:29:12.

too early in the race. I think this is the move. They are the only ones

:29:13.:29:17.

who will cross to the front runners. I do not think they will be seen

:29:18.:29:26.

again with 13 laps remaining. There are the two chasers and the rider

:29:27.:29:31.

who has broken off the front trying to chase down the four is the former

:29:32.:29:35.

world champion from Australia, Glenn O'Shea. Now we have four riders at

:29:36.:29:44.

the front. Bobby Lee almost forced Hansen wide, perhaps not aware of

:29:45.:29:48.

the steam train that was about to come past him.

:29:49.:29:54.

Kluge is trying to force the pace and he has split the group. We are

:29:55.:30:00.

watching the front but Mark Cavendish is now going to the front

:30:01.:30:04.

of the group, allowing Fernando Gaviria to do a lot of the chasing

:30:05.:30:10.

because Fernando Gaviria is the big favourite for the gold medal.

:30:11.:30:13.

Cavendish put him on his wheel for a little while. They aren't far off

:30:14.:30:23.

the same half of the track so it is possible that the time for having

:30:24.:30:31.

finesse has gone. The front of the race, the Dane, that is Hansen with

:30:32.:30:39.

Roger Kluge. Glenn O'Shea looks like he is slowing down and Bobby Lea,

:30:40.:30:43.

who instigated the attack, looks like he is riding through treacle

:30:44.:30:48.

with the rest of the field closing down. Hansen is showing no sign of

:30:49.:30:57.

slowing down and two to -- and Kluge is working well. Kluge has been the

:30:58.:31:03.

driving force. Hansen is going to finish it off, less than two

:31:04.:31:08.

kilometres to go. O'Shea Mac is trying to get back on terms. He is

:31:09.:31:14.

out of gas, stuck between a rock and a hard place. The Frenchman Thomas

:31:15.:31:22.

Booth at is trying to break away. -- Thomas Boudat. Mark Cavendish has

:31:23.:31:31.

cut his losses and decided that OK, there is no way he was going to

:31:32.:31:38.

bring it back. Making contact now. Cavendish looking to see if he can

:31:39.:31:41.

take fourth place. I don't know if they are going to bring O'Shea back,

:31:42.:31:48.

with five laps to go, and he has the Frenchman behind him. Thomas Boudat.

:31:49.:31:56.

Hansen and Kluge are catching their breath as best as they can as they

:31:57.:31:59.

get ready for the sprint at the end of the race, and Thomas Boudat has

:32:00.:32:11.

overtaken O'Shea. Having a chance possibly to get onto the back of the

:32:12.:32:15.

main group unless they start winding it up for the sprint at the end of

:32:16.:32:19.

the race but I think he's going to make it. That will be any moment

:32:20.:32:24.

now, they will make contact but they may not have the legs to stay with

:32:25.:32:28.

them when the sprint cars. Less than one minute of racing and the sprint

:32:29.:32:32.

is going to start any second. Cavendish is a long way back as

:32:33.:32:36.

Kluge comes around, that is the wheel to get. He has spotted that.

:32:37.:32:44.

Two laps to go. The rider from Korea at the front now, Park Sang-hoon,

:32:45.:32:51.

opening it up and he is followed. The Frenchman is not on the back of

:32:52.:32:55.

the group and neither is O'Shea. Beautifully placed to take the

:32:56.:33:00.

sprint. One more lap to go in the opening event of the men's omni on.

:33:01.:33:04.

Dylan Kennett, Mark Cavendish is on his shoulder, the raw goes up in the

:33:05.:33:11.

stadium. The finishing straight. I think Kennett may have held on from

:33:12.:33:15.

Mark Cavendish as they go over the line. Cavendish certainly salvaged

:33:16.:33:24.

something. Gaining a lap on the rest of the field, the defending champion

:33:25.:33:29.

from Denmark there, Lasse Hansen and also Roger Kluge from Germany who

:33:30.:33:32.

won silver in the World Championship this year. Really good start to this

:33:33.:33:38.

competition from the pair of them. Mark Cavendish didn't do too badly

:33:39.:33:42.

in the opening race. Not at all, he cut his losses when he realised that

:33:43.:33:48.

they had gone. They could sprint, I think his form was better than it

:33:49.:33:52.

was at the World Championships but Hansen and Kluge have shown, they

:33:53.:33:56.

have put down the market and they are the men to watch. Hansen and

:33:57.:34:02.

Kluge for the first ago, Boudat and O'Shea work ahead of the rest, and

:34:03.:34:09.

Fernando Gaviria has been given fifth with Mark Cavendish in sixth.

:34:10.:34:14.

The same position he finished at the World Championships, so a solid

:34:15.:34:18.

start from him. A bit surprised about Fernando Gaviria, I thought we

:34:19.:34:22.

would see more from him. Glenn O'Shea expended a lot of energy.

:34:23.:34:27.

What a set of legs he showed to close the gap. A long two days, this

:34:28.:34:34.

is just the first event. And condensed as well. Normally it is

:34:35.:34:38.

over two days, the first three is the event in the morning. All of

:34:39.:34:42.

them in the late session, less than one hour between each right. We came

:34:43.:34:48.

into the omnium thinking that Fernando Gaviria, the world champion

:34:49.:34:52.

for two years, was the man to beat but what an ominously good start

:34:53.:34:56.

from Hansen, he was all business. Phenomenal from him. We've already

:34:57.:35:01.

seen who's going to be vying for the medals here. Just waiting for the

:35:02.:35:06.

official standings after the opening race of the men's omnium, which will

:35:07.:35:10.

hopefully come up in a moment as the riders wind down after their 60 lap

:35:11.:35:14.

effort to get things moving in the competition. Just a word about Mark

:35:15.:35:19.

Cavendish, how the first race panned out? I think it was good, there was

:35:20.:35:24.

a bit of a tactical error, that is what happened, but the form is

:35:25.:35:29.

clearly there. Hansen and Kluge are the first over the line and

:35:30.:35:32.

Cavendish was sixth in his opening event. STUDIO: Cavendish has the

:35:33.:35:38.

individual pursuit and elimination race to come. Early stages, Murray

:35:39.:35:44.

against Del Potro in the gold-medal match for the Men's Singles which is

:35:45.:35:49.

an BBC Four. Murray is serving at the beginning of the first set. Tell

:35:50.:35:53.

you what, I'm glad that the commentators know what's going on in

:35:54.:35:57.

that race, because I had no idea! Cavendish was in sixth. The sprint

:35:58.:36:02.

is easier to understand and in the gold-medal match it is Jason Kenny

:36:03.:36:06.

against Callum Skinner, not for the first time it is an all British

:36:07.:36:14.

affair. Beijing 2008, a pretender to the throne shocked the world to

:36:15.:36:18.

progress to the sprint final, facing the King of the track for the

:36:19.:36:22.

ultimate prize, Olympic gold. COMMENTATOR: This man is

:36:23.:36:25.

unstoppable, he is a legend. Chris Lloyd beating Jason Kenny but an

:36:26.:36:31.

impressive debut for the young prince, a potent of things to come.

:36:32.:36:36.

By 2012, changes in the law showed the Prince selected ahead of the

:36:37.:36:40.

King. Only gold would silence the doubters. Now he is the Olympic

:36:41.:36:46.

sprint champion. Over the next four years at times he appeared to be on

:36:47.:36:50.

a royal walk around but in the Olympic year, a sign of him

:36:51.:36:57.

returning. Jason Kenny is the champion of the world! Kenny's new

:36:58.:37:02.

rival for the sprint phone, Callum Skinner is a powerful adverse array

:37:03.:37:06.

but he's had to work hard for a position in the Royal Court --

:37:07.:37:09.

anniversary. Skinner had a problem trying to stay with the wheels. And

:37:10.:37:14.

as ever and to the frustration of the rest of the world, British

:37:15.:37:18.

cycling royalty can turn it on when it matters most. Eight years on,

:37:19.:37:23.

once again, the Prince and the King are vying for gold. STUDIO: And

:37:24.:37:33.

there they are, a couple of seats away, team-mates and combining to

:37:34.:37:37.

win the team sprint, rivals tonight. Jason Kenny coming into this would

:37:38.:37:41.

have been the hot favourite, very much expected to be in the race, but

:37:42.:37:46.

qualification looked more straightforward for Callum Skinner

:37:47.:37:48.

and a battle for Jason. The battle with Dmitriev was a real challenge

:37:49.:37:55.

for Jason and thankfully, he used the right tactics, he made it but it

:37:56.:38:00.

wasn't easy. This was the decider, Dmitriev had won the first one,

:38:01.:38:04.

Jason the second and it came down to the third race. Keeping the gap

:38:05.:38:09.

between them relatively small, neutralising the acceleration of

:38:10.:38:16.

Dmitriev. Jason is accelerating the whole way to the line, reaching his

:38:17.:38:19.

peak speed at the corner, which is the key thing. Dmitriev capitulated

:38:20.:38:24.

at the end and you can see what it means to him to be in the Olympic

:38:25.:38:28.

final. What advantage does Skinner have, knowing Kenny as well as he

:38:29.:38:37.

does? Can he cover every move? : did very well against Glaetzer, they are

:38:38.:38:41.

similar riders, going for long springs -- Callum. Callum was too

:38:42.:38:48.

fast and canny. I think for Callan and Jason it is tough because you

:38:49.:38:52.

know each other's weaknesses. The other thing is that the coaches

:38:53.:38:55.

don't give you any coaching, they don't give you any tactical advice,

:38:56.:38:59.

they leave you do it because they don't want to show favouritism. You

:39:00.:39:03.

must show your own experience and knowledge to beat your opponent and

:39:04.:39:07.

team-mate and good friend. COMMENTATOR: Underway in the first

:39:08.:39:21.

bronze medal race in the men's match sprint, that is Matt Glaetzer at the

:39:22.:39:26.

back, the 23-year-old from Adelaide. Keeping a close eye on the Russian

:39:27.:39:30.

rider in front of him, walking pace on the opening lap. Denis Dmitriev,

:39:31.:39:35.

a medallist at the World Championships in each of the last

:39:36.:39:38.

four years in this event, never actually listing the lift -- never

:39:39.:39:45.

actually lifting the title. Hard to know which way it is going to go,

:39:46.:39:50.

different abilities. Dmitriev has the engine, Glaetzer has the track

:39:51.:39:54.

craft. Hard to know which one will do best. I think we are in for two

:39:55.:40:02.

close races. Two strong and moss killer sprinters, the pair of them.

:40:03.:40:06.

Dmitriev getting the height and Glaetzer going with him -- strong

:40:07.:40:13.

sprinters. Glaetzer is trying to trick him into coming inside. Now

:40:14.:40:18.

he's raising the pace. Taking the bell and the sprint will be on

:40:19.:40:24.

shortly as Glaetzer tries to close the gap, tries to close the daylight

:40:25.:40:28.

between them but Dmitriev at the moment is holding it but it is

:40:29.:40:33.

Glaetzer, he hasn't got the speed to get past him. Denis Dmitriev now is

:40:34.:40:38.

one win away from claiming the bronze medal. Leading from start to

:40:39.:40:42.

finish and Glaetzer couldn't get past him. Fast as well, 10.1.

:40:43.:40:48.

Showing no signs of fatigue through this competition. The Russians

:40:49.:40:56.

showed real experience to manage Glaetzer there. Glaetzer did a

:40:57.:41:01.

double dip, going back up the track to get some more speed but the

:41:02.:41:05.

Russian had anticipated that, Dmitriev kicking again and holding

:41:06.:41:10.

him off. Dmitriev is the more experienced, he's been around for a

:41:11.:41:15.

long time. He was too good for Glaetzer on that occasion. Leading

:41:16.:41:19.

1-0 in the best of three bronze medal race. The gold medal race

:41:20.:41:24.

between Callum Skinner and Jason Kenny is the defending champion,

:41:25.:41:32.

coming up. Just onto their bikes come you can see them on the apron

:41:33.:41:38.

of the track -- onto their bikes, you can see them.

:41:39.:41:44.

STUDIO: Chris Hoy is alongside me, they draw lots for who goes in front

:41:45.:41:53.

first. That's correct, whoever draws number one goes on the inside and

:41:54.:41:59.

vice versa for number two and then it is reversed, drawing lots if it

:42:00.:42:03.

goes to the decider for the third race. Jason Kenny is looking very

:42:04.:42:08.

short of breath, just tapping his chest. They are wearing aerodynamic

:42:09.:42:12.

suits. Being introduced to the crowd. COMMENTATOR: The Olympic

:42:13.:42:19.

sprint final is just moments away. A man who has been there before,

:42:20.:42:24.

beaten by Chris Hoy in Beijing eight years ago, victorious in London in

:42:25.:42:30.

2012. It is a new experience at this level in this particular event for

:42:31.:42:33.

the man at the front, 23-year-old Callum Skinner. You wouldn't be able

:42:34.:42:40.

to tell, would you? Not from how he has been riding, he has been

:42:41.:42:43.

authoritative and alert and dominant. The greater experience,

:42:44.:42:50.

Jason Kenny, who has been in these situations so many times. And the

:42:51.:42:55.

greater inexperience of kin, for whom everything seems to have

:42:56.:43:00.

clicked over the last few days. I think because of history everyone

:43:01.:43:03.

says it should be Kenny, but Skinner has been riding with such confidence

:43:04.:43:09.

and he looked like an old hand at this over the last few days, the way

:43:10.:43:13.

he has been timing things, being calm under pressure. I wouldn't put

:43:14.:43:18.

it past him that he can take this to Jason. It could be close. You have

:43:19.:43:23.

the added situation where both riders know each other's strengths

:43:24.:43:27.

and weaknesses, the way that they like riding, which is an extra

:43:28.:43:34.

factor. It is an odd experience, sharing a room with the person you

:43:35.:43:37.

are about to fight for the Olympic gold medal, that must have been a

:43:38.:43:42.

very weird night they had. Interesting conversation over

:43:43.:43:46.

breakfast as well. Skinner is starting to wind it up now, Jason

:43:47.:43:50.

Kenny is trying to force him on, trying to get him to force the pace

:43:51.:43:54.

and lead him out. He has given himself a lot of room. Callum

:43:55.:44:01.

Skinner is wearing the black helmet. Taking the bell. He has kept his

:44:02.:44:07.

height, he's going to rush him now. Here comes Kenny down the back

:44:08.:44:12.

straight, closing the gap, really rapidly, coming over the shoulder of

:44:13.:44:15.

Callum Skinner and totally dominates the first ride. Superb sprinting

:44:16.:44:20.

from the experienced figure of Jason Kenny. Well, he lost that one with a

:44:21.:44:27.

lap to go when he was tricked into starting it and Kenny didn't panic,

:44:28.:44:32.

he waited and left himself a lot of room. He also kept his height, so he

:44:33.:44:37.

could rush and accelerate down the back straight. Experience winning

:44:38.:44:39.

there. Jason Kenny already a four-time

:44:40.:44:50.

Olympic champion. He had so much speed coming down the back straight.

:44:51.:44:55.

It was a significant tactical error by Skinner. Already has been an

:44:56.:45:01.

amazing Games for him but he now finds himself one down. An assertive

:45:02.:45:08.

and dominant start for the world champion. Work to do for Callum

:45:09.:45:17.

Skinner, who has to win the next ride, otherwise Jason Kenny will be

:45:18.:45:23.

Olympic champion once again. STUDIO: It is a fascinating race

:45:24.:45:27.

because tactically you have to be really sharp, Chris, and it is about

:45:28.:45:32.

when you go, the height you get and how long you can sustain the effort.

:45:33.:45:38.

It is riding to your strengths and exposing your opponent's weaknesses.

:45:39.:45:43.

It was a perfect ride for Jason Kenny who likes to Russia's opponent

:45:44.:45:48.

and use the slipstream that slingshot effect. Callum Skinner

:45:49.:45:53.

trying to wind the pace birdie. He could not leave it late for

:45:54.:46:02.

acceleration. Jason did not panic. You can see the slingshot. It is

:46:03.:46:07.

phenomenal. Jason had the race won at this stage. Callum Skinner could

:46:08.:46:17.

not get on top of the gear. When you say slingshot? The closer you get to

:46:18.:46:24.

the rider in front of the more you benefit from the slipstream and as

:46:25.:46:29.

you accelerate towards them it is faster, increasing acceleration and

:46:30.:46:34.

when you reach the back wheel you can be two, three kilometres faster.

:46:35.:46:38.

You do not want to be going the same speed as the opponent on the

:46:39.:46:43.

outside. You would just be going wider. Unless you are much faster

:46:44.:46:47.

than them in which case you can do that. And you cannot use elbows. You

:46:48.:46:54.

might have the odd bump if you are passing at the same time but you

:46:55.:46:56.

cannot impede your opponent's progress. We will fast forward.

:46:57.:47:06.

Becky James, the early stages of the women's individual sprint.

:47:07.:47:10.

Simon. It is a conveyor belt. One event moving on from the other and

:47:11.:47:17.

Becky James, who set a new Olympic world-record time. She is the first

:47:18.:47:25.

onto the track, effectively this is the first round. If she wins, she is

:47:26.:47:30.

straight through into the finals, if she loses against her opponent she

:47:31.:47:35.

goes into a repechage. There is a second opportunity should you

:47:36.:47:43.

require it. Because of the seeding, the opponent was the slowest of the

:47:44.:47:48.

qualifiers. This is where she reached the reward of the

:47:49.:47:58.

qualifying. She is 2.5 kilometres an hour faster than her opponent. That

:47:59.:48:04.

is the kind of difference we are talking about. She has herself to a

:48:05.:48:08.

great position. She has to maximise that. Becky James a former world

:48:09.:48:15.

champion in the sprint in 2013 when she won two titles. They take the

:48:16.:48:23.

bell. Becky James crouching, opening up the sprint. A lot for her

:48:24.:48:28.

opponent to do. Struggling to make inroads. Becky James, at the moment,

:48:29.:48:34.

is in control. Smoothly through to the finals. She drag raced that. I

:48:35.:48:42.

have got it here, let's not make it complicated, I will take it from the

:48:43.:48:46.

front and decide how it will be ridden. If you want to take it from

:48:47.:48:49.

me, you will have to come the long way round. Comfortably done. Her

:48:50.:48:59.

opponent tries to get some height and it means nothing. She does not

:49:00.:49:06.

have the engine to use it. Becky James is the fastest qualifier in

:49:07.:49:11.

the field, the 27 rider field. Second quickest. Katy Marchant, the

:49:12.:49:21.

other British rider taking part. This was a strong start by Katy

:49:22.:49:26.

Marchant. Would you say she performed better than expected? When

:49:27.:49:29.

you look at the name she is up against. In training they have been

:49:30.:49:35.

there or thereabouts the same all the time with Katy Marchant even

:49:36.:49:39.

posting faster times odd occasion than Becky James. This is about

:49:40.:49:44.

competition and one of them has been a world champion and the other, it

:49:45.:49:49.

is new. Like Callum Skinner, not being fazed by it, getting stuck

:49:50.:49:53.

into the racing. I think she has quite a big gap because of great

:49:54.:50:00.

qualification. Another two and a half kilometre difference between

:50:01.:50:03.

her and her opponent. Second position. Following from the off on

:50:04.:50:10.

this. Would she be happy with that? I do not know her preferences. I

:50:11.:50:15.

expect she can win from the front, riding back here. She is up against

:50:16.:50:22.

Monique Sullivan from Canada, 27 years of age, who won three gold

:50:23.:50:27.

medals in the Pan American Games in Toronto, including the sprint. It

:50:28.:50:31.

was in the team sprint here with Canada finishing seventh. Sullivan's

:50:32.:50:39.

job is to make it as hard as possible for Katy Marchant to come

:50:40.:50:44.

around. She has to ride it tactically and make it the most

:50:45.:50:50.

distance possible. If Katy Marchant tries to come around the outside she

:50:51.:50:54.

will start to accelerate to make her do a further distance all the time.

:50:55.:51:00.

Halfway between the red and blue line, about four, five metres

:51:01.:51:05.

further around the track than riding on the black line at the bottom

:51:06.:51:08.

which is why they are forcing them to come around and the trailing

:51:09.:51:13.

rider will try to keep the benefit of height and surprise so they can

:51:14.:51:21.

get better acceleration. If you come underneath, I am going

:51:22.:51:26.

to close the door. It is a skill to ride around the track looking

:51:27.:51:30.

backwards. Imagine along the road, looking backwards like that. It is

:51:31.:51:35.

hard to do. Never normally advisable, but an essential skill in

:51:36.:51:41.

this event! As they take the bell. Katy Marchant. On the outside.

:51:42.:51:48.

Monique Sullivan was still looking around before opening up. Katy

:51:49.:51:55.

Marchant stole a march. Forced to go around the outside. She has the

:51:56.:52:01.

speed with room to spare. I think Sullivan would have been relegated

:52:02.:52:05.

because twice she came out to the sprinter's line and impeded the

:52:06.:52:10.

progress of her opponent. The sprint coach, the happiest man in the

:52:11.:52:14.

centre of the track at the moment. Straightforward progress for the

:52:15.:52:18.

British women so far. At the moment, a mirror image of the men's event so

:52:19.:52:25.

far. The sprinters could not be happier. Becky James and Katy

:52:26.:52:29.

Marchant are straight through into the finals without the need for a

:52:30.:52:30.

repechage. STUDIO: Meanwhile, Andy Murray has a

:52:31.:52:43.

break of serve in the first set against one Martine Del Potro in the

:52:44.:52:47.

gold medal match. Andy Murray trying to defend his title and that is live

:52:48.:52:53.

on BBC Four. Early stages of the first set. We will join it later on

:52:54.:53:02.

BBC One. What a day for Britain's Olympians. Two gold medals for Max

:53:03.:53:08.

Whitlock in the gymnastics. Louis Smith taking silver in that and

:53:09.:53:11.

Justin Rose taking the gold medal in the golf.

:53:12.:53:18.

Over to Simon. Next race on the track features Virginie Cueff from

:53:19.:53:19.

France and she is up against someone who crashed badly in

:53:20.:53:43.

the keirin yesterday. A rider keen to make amends in the match sprint.

:53:44.:53:52.

Virginie Cueff the European bronze medallist in the key in. And Lee Wai

:53:53.:53:59.

Sze from Hong Kong. This is a 16th final. It is not the best of three

:54:00.:54:05.

until the latter stages. The winner goes through and the loser has a

:54:06.:54:10.

chance in the repechage. As we go through the heat the opponents get

:54:11.:54:13.

closer and closer together in terms of ability. Exciting is not what we

:54:14.:54:27.

wanted to see for the British riders at this stage, we wanted to see a

:54:28.:54:30.

boring ride away from their opponent.

:54:31.:54:38.

That is pretty much what they did. Becky James and Katy Marchant have

:54:39.:54:44.

been really good so far. This is the rider Cameron on Lee Wai Sze. --

:54:45.:55:05.

rider camera. Virginie Cueff is for -- forcing Lee to keep her wits

:55:06.:55:09.

about her. She got caught out. Lee coming back fast. It will be a

:55:10.:55:28.

good race. I think she has this one. She should have the speed to win and

:55:29.:55:34.

she does, she overhauls and overpowers the Frenchwoman. And

:55:35.:55:36.

looks rather casual as she winds down the back straight. Virginie

:55:37.:55:43.

Cueff had a good go, throwing so many little wobbles and managing to

:55:44.:55:50.

disguise the ones she wanted to get in front but in the end did not have

:55:51.:55:59.

the legs to go with it. Virginie Cueff got herself in a position she

:56:00.:56:05.

wanted to be in bid did not have the strength to hold off the challenge

:56:06.:56:13.

of the rider from Hong Kong. Lee showing no ill effects from the

:56:14.:56:16.

crash in the semifinals in the women's Kieron. You can see the

:56:17.:56:21.

marks from it on the outside of her leg. I am sure it is not the only

:56:22.:56:35.

mark from that crash. Elis Ligtlee from the Netherlands. You may

:56:36.:56:42.

remember she won the keirin yesterday, beating Becky James. Up

:56:43.:56:50.

against the Chinese rider who is already a gold medallist. She was

:56:51.:57:00.

absolutely delighted. A very popular winner. She had already shown her

:57:01.:57:09.

qualities in the individual sprint in this event last year in the World

:57:10.:57:14.

Championships when she made it to the final. She also has a bronze

:57:15.:57:19.

medal from the World Championships this year in London in the 500

:57:20.:57:24.

metres time trial. Good across the board in the sprint events but she

:57:25.:57:27.

landed a big one with the keirin gold medal. No doubt has barely

:57:28.:57:29.

stopped smiling ever since. Likely not to accelerate sharply.

:57:30.:57:52.

Right now, controlling things and deciding how the will be. Slowly

:57:53.:58:01.

accelerating as they come around with two laps to go. Elis Ligtlee

:58:02.:58:12.

looking back every second or so. Gong Jinjie is starting to make a

:58:13.:58:17.

move early. They had yet to take the bell and the sprint is on already

:58:18.:58:23.

between these two. That was a surprise that Elis Ligtlee let that

:58:24.:58:28.

happen. She is now going for gas, which I think his confidence. Coming

:58:29.:58:35.

around the outside. She is flying as they come into the finishing

:58:36.:58:39.

straight and that is the confidence a gold medal can do for you. Elis

:58:40.:58:43.

Ligtlee, when she is in full flight, she takes some stopping. Here we see

:58:44.:58:51.

once again Elis Ligtlee, who gave ground initially at the start of the

:58:52.:58:56.

sprint to the rider from China, but she had more than enough power and

:58:57.:59:00.

speed to retrieve the situation and go through. See how calm she was.

:59:01.:59:08.

Calm all the way through that race. The expression belying the fact she

:59:09.:59:12.

is travelling at 65 kilometres per hour. Elis Ligtlee, the Olympic

:59:13.:59:17.

champion in the keirin is safely through. Becky James, Katy Marchant,

:59:18.:59:23.

Lee and Elis Ligtlee are through. We are now watching Miriam felt from

:59:24.:59:33.

Germany. She won the bronze in the team sprint and was Olympic champion

:59:34.:59:41.

with her team-mate Kristina Vogel, who we'll see later on.

:59:42.:59:55.

Zhong Tianshi from China is the world sprint champion so Miriam felt

:59:56.:00:04.

has a tough job here. Although seeding is important it is

:00:05.:00:09.

not everything. Elis Ligtlee just gets through that first round and it

:00:10.:00:15.

was an incredibly powerful ride. Unbelievable confidence with a lap

:00:16.:00:20.

to go to give away the lead like that and be confident you can

:00:21.:00:23.

accelerate and come around the outside. China have so many good

:00:24.:00:27.

sprinters they cannot all be in the Olympic Games so it was a 1-2 for

:00:28.:00:35.

China in the World Championship. We do not have all of the best track

:00:36.:00:40.

cyclists in the world because of the way the allocation of places has to

:00:41.:00:43.

be spread around the various continents of the world.

:00:44.:00:48.

We have the very best, but not necessarily the depth we would have

:00:49.:00:55.

at the World Championships. But the stakes are higher which is why we

:00:56.:00:59.

have such fantastic times being set up white Miriam Welte is a champion

:01:00.:01:02.

in the team sprint. Great partnership with vocal in the team

:01:03.:01:09.

sprint. Still going slow here with coming up to a lack of a half to go

:01:10.:01:17.

-- Kristina Vogel. Keeping it at the bottom of the track. Just over a lap

:01:18.:01:26.

to go so it may come down to let celebration. Miriam Welte has sensed

:01:27.:01:31.

an opportunity. She is at the front. Zhong Tiahshi drawing level pretty

:01:32.:01:39.

quickly. Getting her nose in front even before they got into the

:01:40.:01:45.

banking. Dominant sprinting from the Chinese ride and she has won by a

:01:46.:01:50.

mile. Amazing acceleration. 11.3, because the sprint bartered so late.

:01:51.:01:57.

A glimpse of how strongly she can exonerate -- started so late. That

:01:58.:02:03.

is the most usable weapon in the competition. Germany will be hoping

:02:04.:02:10.

that Miriam Welte's compatriot and team-mate from the team sprint is in

:02:11.:02:22.

better position. Bronze-medallist in the sprint this year, the world

:02:23.:02:31.

champion in 2014 and 2015. Confirmation of the race we've just

:02:32.:02:40.

seen, heat five. And a reminder that is an excellent start to the

:02:41.:02:43.

competition from the British put a view, as Kristina Vogel -- point of

:02:44.:02:50.

view. Becky James on the left and Katie Marchant, deep in conversation

:02:51.:02:55.

and Poland are -- and no wonder they look happy, they are both true and

:02:56.:03:00.

the fastest two qualifiers. Couldn't be better. All is well with them. A

:03:01.:03:05.

long way to go in this competition. The next heat features Kristina

:03:06.:03:14.

Vogel, up against van Riessen. Yesterday she wrote up the fence and

:03:15.:03:18.

back down again without falling off. She already has the prize for the

:03:19.:03:21.

best bike and a lot of the competition. The first all-rounder

:03:22.:03:29.

to do that, going like that and finishing the race. Amazing that she

:03:30.:03:33.

hasn't been a track cyclist for very long, only a year or so. Nobody told

:03:34.:03:44.

her that you can't do that. She drove up the coloured hoardings to

:03:45.:03:48.

avoid a crash. It shows you what kind of speed they were going, going

:03:49.:04:03.

up a 90 degrees wall. About 2Gs. About 26 degrees of bank on average

:04:04.:04:09.

for the bend. What do we think here, Vogel? We are getting closer and

:04:10.:04:18.

closer in ability as we go through these matches. Yes, the last few of

:04:19.:04:23.

these heats should be tighter as we go on. Vogel is the more

:04:24.:04:28.

experienced. She is choosing to do the controlling. Kristina Vogel

:04:29.:04:32.

leading from the fund, leading out the sprint here. And she's looking

:04:33.:04:38.

strong as they go into the banking to the left. Van Riessen from the

:04:39.:04:44.

Netherlands not able to make any inroads and Kristina Vogel, another

:04:45.:04:48.

of the favourites for the gold medal in the women's sprint, safely

:04:49.:04:53.

through to the finals without any need for the repechage. She's always

:04:54.:04:58.

fun to watch, she enjoys her racing, whether she wins or loses. Great

:04:59.:05:04.

interviews afterwards, very succinct and she always has some fun to

:05:05.:05:10.

inject into it. So, a good performance from Kristina Vogel.

:05:11.:05:18.

Becky James, Katie Marchant, Zhong Tiahshi, Christa Vina Vogel --

:05:19.:05:25.

Kristina Vogel and Ellis Ligtlee have gone through. STUDIO: In the

:05:26.:05:33.

tennis, Andy Murray went one break up but Del Potro with his huge

:05:34.:05:39.

forehand broke back and celebrations from the Argentine fans. Murray had

:05:40.:05:43.

three break points on the Del Potro serve and... He made sure of it. He

:05:44.:06:02.

leads 3-1 in the first few Games, which took 27 minutes. It is very

:06:03.:06:08.

attritional. We are going to join the tennis later. So many questions

:06:09.:06:12.

for Chris Hoy, tactics in the sprint and also the shape of the riders.

:06:13.:06:17.

Some of them are tiny, they look like jockeys and then you get bigger

:06:18.:06:21.

and more powerful. We see it in the women's sprint in particular,

:06:22.:06:26.

Ligtlee, she is six foot one and some of the riders like Kristina

:06:27.:06:30.

Vogel, the world champion and Olympic champion, she is about eight

:06:31.:06:35.

inches shorter. You see different shapes because it isn't all about

:06:36.:06:40.

power to weight, it is about power to the frontal area, aerodynamic

:06:41.:06:45.

efficiency versus your power. If you are small and you don't have a lot

:06:46.:06:49.

of power, you can go fast but if you are huge and you have a lot of

:06:50.:06:53.

power, you can push more air and it balances out. You've got to be

:06:54.:06:59.

talented Lee is cute -- you got to be tactically astute and to be able

:07:00.:07:04.

to ride around with your head like that. Becky James, how impressive?

:07:05.:07:11.

Very impressed, phenomenal qualification right to break the

:07:12.:07:15.

Olympic record and she was riding with great confidence, she didn't

:07:16.:07:19.

have to do anything spectacular, keep them close, don't let them make

:07:20.:07:27.

the gap. Look at the gap opening up, able to shut her down, not trouble

:07:28.:07:32.

at all. This would give a huge confidence. She has had a protein

:07:33.:07:36.

shake, she'll be warmed down and recovered and looking forward to the

:07:37.:07:41.

next round. The good news for her is that her team-mate Katie Marchant,

:07:42.:07:49.

starting behind, is in good form. It is the best form we've seen from

:07:50.:07:59.

both, it's amazing. Katie will have great confidence, attacking from the

:08:00.:08:06.

back. Cruising around the outside. 10.78 for her, a personal best in

:08:07.:08:12.

the time trial. Both looking happy with themselves, they are cooling

:08:13.:08:16.

down and I bet they are saying that they can't believe it. They will do

:08:17.:08:20.

what Kenny and skin are doing if they keep winning, meeting each

:08:21.:08:24.

other in the gold medal race. Then you are not so chatty. That is a

:08:25.:08:31.

long way from now, there is a lot of hard racing to come. Ideally that

:08:32.:08:35.

will be the situation but plenty of racing before that. Soon we will see

:08:36.:08:40.

Jason Kenny against Callum Skinner, Round 2, Kenny having won the first

:08:41.:08:46.

one quite easily. What would you do if you asking? You have to

:08:47.:08:50.

neutralise adjacent's strongest point, his peak speed, don't let him

:08:51.:08:56.

create big gaps, don't let him rush you, keeping close. Otherwise you

:08:57.:09:03.

can be sneaky, go for the long one off the start, it is rarely seen,

:09:04.:09:08.

you can do it if you have no other options. Jason will be wary about

:09:09.:09:14.

this, he tried it in the final in 2012 and he nearly got him, losing

:09:15.:09:18.

by this much. It means you have a smaller gear, you have the full

:09:19.:09:23.

standing start effort, open as big a gap as possible, force your opponent

:09:24.:09:29.

to chase and then it is a straight drag race. Can't wait to see how

:09:30.:09:34.

he's going to play it but that is still to come. Let's bring you

:09:35.:09:38.

up-to-date on a flurry of gold medals from an extraordinary Sunday

:09:39.:09:40.

at the Olympics. Until today, Great Britain had never

:09:41.:09:51.

won Olympic gymnastics gold but two have come along in a couple of

:09:52.:09:55.

towers. Take a bow, Max Whitlock, winning the floor and be pommel

:09:56.:09:59.

horse. Team-mate Louis Smith took silver on the pommel horse. Justin

:10:00.:10:08.

Rose held his nerve to hold off the Open champion Henrik Stenson to

:10:09.:10:11.

become the first Olympic the medal champion in 112 years. He said that

:10:12.:10:17.

the people who doubted golf were wrong, it is something he focused on

:10:18.:10:21.

and had been at the forefront of his mind for the last few months. Nick

:10:22.:10:28.

Dempsey has faced Britain's first medal of the Olympics sailing

:10:29.:10:31.

regatta with silver in the R S X windsurfing. That is now official.

:10:32.:10:40.

And there is another British medal definitely on the way in the water

:10:41.:10:45.

as Giles Scott has guaranteed gold in the men's finn which will be

:10:46.:10:56.

confirmed on Tuesday. Just to let you know what is coming your way.

:10:57.:11:04.

Andy Murray has the edge in the opening set. Shortly we are going to

:11:05.:11:08.

bring you the second race of the men's sprint final. It is a best of

:11:09.:11:14.

three contest and Kenny is 1-0 up against Callum Skinner, the all

:11:15.:11:29.

British if air. -- affair. Possible third race in the men's sprint if it

:11:30.:11:35.

goes to the decider. And the elimination race later for the

:11:36.:11:40.

Omnium riders featuring Mark Cavendish. And Usain Bolt going for

:11:41.:11:47.

gold medal number nine... Number seven, isn't it? The 100 metres for

:11:48.:11:57.

the third Olympics in a row. You have the website to check things

:11:58.:12:02.

that I can't remember! The medals table, the gold medal for Giles

:12:03.:12:06.

Scott hasn't been added yet, so it shows Team GB in third place behind

:12:07.:12:12.

China but that could change. It will change, possibly after the men's

:12:13.:12:16.

sprint finals. Shirley Robertson and give us the details from the sailing

:12:17.:12:20.

today. She is actually with Giles Scott. No emotion earlier but I saw

:12:21.:12:31.

it today. Yeah, you did. You are right, I try and stay very

:12:32.:12:36.

level-headed. There is no way I could have done that after that

:12:37.:12:40.

race, it really got the better of me, it really dawned on me what my

:12:41.:12:46.

coat and I have put together over the last four years. It is a very

:12:47.:12:51.

special moment. Four years ago you watched Ben Ainslie winning his gold

:12:52.:12:55.

medal. Knowing you were world-class and would have had a shot at gold,

:12:56.:13:00.

four years later it is yours. Yeah it is. Four years ago, I've set it

:13:01.:13:07.

time and time again, it was a pretty dark place but what we've managed to

:13:08.:13:12.

do from building on that disappointment, but a great

:13:13.:13:14.

campaign, coming to Rio and winning the way I have, it is just amazing.

:13:15.:13:21.

Such amazing history in the finn ever since 2000, Iain Percy and then

:13:22.:13:27.

Ben winning everything and putting my name alongside theirs, very

:13:28.:13:32.

special to me. You are about to hit the shore. This is a very lovely

:13:33.:13:39.

moment. The media are there and your life will change for ever. Yeah I'm

:13:40.:13:43.

not sure that my life will change for ever, I hope it won't. The

:13:44.:13:50.

Olympic Games has been such a huge part of my life ever since I was a

:13:51.:13:55.

teenager. It has been ten years of solid work to get here. I'm just

:13:56.:14:00.

really proud of what we've managed to put together. Everyone assumed

:14:01.:14:05.

you would win gold. Perhaps summarise how hard it has been. It

:14:06.:14:11.

is a funny thing to come to a regatta as big as the Olympic Games

:14:12.:14:15.

and have everyone telling you it is a sure thing, not just the media but

:14:16.:14:21.

people around you, people in your team, they just assume that you are

:14:22.:14:26.

going to deliver. Actually going through and delivering isn't as

:14:27.:14:31.

simple as a lot of people think. You know, it is incredibly stressful and

:14:32.:14:35.

hard work but once you manage it, it is incredible. You have won it in

:14:36.:14:41.

style, you must compete in the medal race but no one can beat you. Giles

:14:42.:14:45.

Scott, 2016 Olympic champion, congratulations. Well done to him.

:14:46.:14:52.

There will be a huge cheer from Ben Ainslie because he will go back and

:14:53.:14:59.

join him in a part of the team building up to next summer's

:15:00.:15:02.

America's Cup. He came here with a lot of pressure on him and he

:15:03.:15:06.

delivered. What about Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner? We will go to

:15:07.:15:10.

their deciding race. Anna Meares is going to have to go through the

:15:11.:15:14.

repechage if she's going to defend her title because she was just

:15:15.:15:19.

beaten. Yes, she was beaten by an old rival of

:15:20.:15:34.

hers, Simona Krupeckaite. Jason Kenny is the defending champion, he

:15:35.:15:38.

knows that he is faster, Callum Skinner knows that he is younger, is

:15:39.:15:40.

that any advantage? It is strange because for every

:15:41.:15:50.

competition, national, international, you have coaches

:15:51.:15:53.

telling you, this is how you will attack this. Looking at videos of

:15:54.:15:58.

the opponent and discussing every way to beat them. Because it is GB

:15:59.:16:06.

versus GB, all bets are off. You are on your own, use your initiative and

:16:07.:16:11.

experience and for that, Jason has the upper hand, he knows this, how

:16:12.:16:16.

to deal with it, the tactics, the tricks. That is not to say Callum

:16:17.:16:22.

cannot do it. He has speed, more length on his sprint. He uses a

:16:23.:16:31.

bigger gear. Unless something out of your Murray happens I think Jason

:16:32.:16:34.

will get the gold medal, making five, amazing, and a silver medal,

:16:35.:16:42.

with the keirin to come. And in total medals, it goes Bradley

:16:43.:16:46.

Wiggins at the top, then you, and then Jason. Steve has five gold

:16:47.:16:54.

medals and one bronze. He would have five go medals -- gold medals. And

:16:55.:17:08.

Laura has three medals. They are engaged, they are a couple. We can

:17:09.:17:16.

go to Matthew Glaetzer and Denis Dmitriev.

:17:17.:17:27.

Glaetzer has to win this, otherwise the Russian will claim the medal

:17:28.:17:33.

having won the race earlier. Fatigue is starting to come into

:17:34.:17:51.

this. It has helped spreading it out, it takes a long time to reach a

:17:52.:17:55.

conclusion, but it gives the rider is the opportunity in theory to

:17:56.:18:05.

perform at a higher level. It was quite concentrated. Nevertheless,

:18:06.:18:12.

they have it all to do, and Glaetzer in front position, so an opportunity

:18:13.:18:19.

to try and control this one. Dmitriev looks like he is cruising

:18:20.:18:26.

along, just waiting for it to start. Glaetzer has decided it has to be

:18:27.:18:32.

faster if he is to keep it together. No opportunity to gain height. He

:18:33.:18:40.

finished with a silver in the World Championships. Will he be in with a

:18:41.:18:45.

chance of claiming any medal here? Dmitriev is too quick in the closing

:18:46.:18:52.

metres of the second sprint and the bronze medal goes to Russia and

:18:53.:18:57.

Denis Dmitriev. In the end, Glaetzer was beaten fair and square. He did

:18:58.:19:07.

everything he could. He was just, again, outclassed from an energy

:19:08.:19:17.

perspective, as well. Glaetzer finishing fourth in both his events,

:19:18.:19:20.

the team sprint and the match sprint.

:19:21.:19:26.

The bronze medal for Russia. This is the latest from the tennis and they

:19:27.:19:33.

have been breaking each other's serve. Andy Murray was 4-2 up. And

:19:34.:19:37.

then Del Potro, with break point here, broke again. It is effectively

:19:38.:19:57.

back on serve. Andy Murray serving now to make it 4-4. If Jason Kenny

:19:58.:20:02.

wins this race, he is the gold medallists. Callum Skinner has to

:20:03.:20:10.

win it to take it to a decider. COMMENTATOR: A big moment to for

:20:11.:20:16.

Callum Skinner, who was well beaten in the first ride. He will have

:20:17.:20:20.

drawn confidence from his performances, assertive and

:20:21.:20:24.

lightning quick. He needs to beat Jason Kenny. He needs to win this

:20:25.:20:29.

race to keep his chance of a gold medal alive. The happiest man on the

:20:30.:20:35.

line at the moment is Justin Grace, the sprint coach, the only person on

:20:36.:20:41.

the boards at the moment who cannot lose. What a position to be in for

:20:42.:20:47.

Great Britain. For these two, it is about a gold medal, and they want

:20:48.:20:51.

it, no matter who they compete against. That is not just the view

:20:52.:21:01.

of the camera, but the view he has, looking behind at Callum Skinner,

:21:02.:21:09.

Jason Kenny. He is good, even among sprinters, like his head is on a

:21:10.:21:14.

swivel. They pack is over many years to keep an eye on an opponent

:21:15.:21:19.

without looking forward. It is a skill that is taken as given.

:21:20.:21:25.

Skinner has to stop Kenny using his strength. He needs to get in control

:21:26.:21:30.

of this one. At the moment, Kenny is calling the shots, pace wise.

:21:31.:21:38.

Skinner starting to move about. He is trying to unsettle Jason. Trying

:21:39.:21:45.

to keep him guessing as to what he will do. He has the height, which is

:21:46.:21:51.

why Jason is pulling away at speed, forcing him down the track. Jason

:21:52.:21:59.

Kenny on the brink of a fifth Olympic gold medal, if he can win

:22:00.:22:03.

this race, but Callum Skinner will strain every sinew to draw level at

:22:04.:22:11.

1-1 and set up a deciding race. One lap to go and the sprint is armed

:22:12.:22:16.

with Kenny at the front, Callum Skinner trying to claw his way back.

:22:17.:22:22.

Jason Kenny has got this. Jason Kenny wins the gold medal for the

:22:23.:22:28.

second time in his career, the Olympic sprint champion. Gold medal

:22:29.:22:32.

number five in the career of Jason Kenny. He joins Sir Bradley Wiggins

:22:33.:22:40.

and Sir Steve Redgrave on five. Only Chris Hoy is ahead of him and Jason

:22:41.:22:48.

Kenny wins the final. It was a win - win for British cycling with gold

:22:49.:22:53.

and silver. A spectacular silver medal after a series of excellent

:22:54.:22:58.

performances from Callum Skinner in his first Olympic Games. He has a

:22:59.:23:02.

gold medal and now a silver. There was nothing he could have done. He

:23:03.:23:08.

tried everything. Riding tactically very well in that second round but

:23:09.:23:13.

he could not do anything about it. We have seen Jason Kenny in

:23:14.:23:18.

incredible form. The word we have attached to him is confidence. That

:23:19.:23:21.

is what we saw. He made a slight error a couple of days ago, overcame

:23:22.:23:31.

that quickly. Powerful. The fastest sprint of the series done in the

:23:32.:23:35.

final of the series which shows the form he is in. And he still has the

:23:36.:23:37.

keirin. STUDIO: The keirin could give him

:23:38.:23:53.

gold medal number six. At the beginning of the Olympics in the

:23:54.:23:57.

opening ceremony programme, Chris Hoy said, I tell you now, Jason

:23:58.:24:03.

Kenny will win three gold medals. Why did you have so much faith in

:24:04.:24:10.

him? First, the Times they were doing in training were exceptional.

:24:11.:24:14.

9.55 in training replicated here in the time trial. That is his family.

:24:15.:24:22.

Fantastic. Second, because he can deal with pressure. He soaks up this

:24:23.:24:31.

pressure. Getting a nice picture! He is not affected by the pressure. He

:24:32.:24:35.

deals with it and can produce his best when it counts. He will do a

:24:36.:24:41.

Pat Cash! Climbing over the railings, or an Andy Murray. A word

:24:42.:24:50.

on Callum Skinner. It is easy to go on about Jason and with good reason,

:24:51.:24:57.

Callum, for me, has possibly been the rider of the games so far,

:24:58.:25:02.

coming from the security and winning a gold medal in team sprint, dealing

:25:03.:25:05.

with the pressure and getting a silver medal in the sprint, you

:25:06.:25:09.

cannot overstate how impressive that is. You can see the exhaustion.

:25:10.:25:17.

Jason Kenny will not feel as tired. It may hurt, but not as much when

:25:18.:25:22.

you have won. They embrace, the team-mates against each other in the

:25:23.:25:27.

gold medal race for the individual sprint providing a gold and silver

:25:28.:25:32.

medal for the team effort and continuing the dominant run of

:25:33.:25:36.

British cycling. There are many nations, the top dogs, they can have

:25:37.:25:41.

personality clashes and issues with each other and in the GB team, when

:25:42.:25:47.

we are number one and number two in the world, they will battle on the

:25:48.:25:51.

track but they are friends, genuinely, off the track, which

:25:52.:25:57.

makes me proud to see. Look at that. GB one and two. Amazing. We will

:25:58.:26:02.

look at the final race. Chris. Jason was trying to keep

:26:03.:26:09.

Callum close and Callum should try to go straight over the top, but he

:26:10.:26:16.

hesitated. He could not go for the gap because Jason had it covered.

:26:17.:26:22.

Jason was waiting. He made his move. Jason had it covered. So much gas in

:26:23.:26:28.

the tank. Phenomenal power. The exciting thing for the future is

:26:29.:26:32.

Callum Skinner will be around a long time and so too is Jason Kenny.

:26:33.:26:36.

Philip Hindes is not going anywhere soon. Ryan Owens, the reserve in the

:26:37.:26:45.

team sprint. 19, 20. The future is looking bright. Very soon, I think,

:26:46.:26:51.

Jason Kenny will head to Jill Douglas. You will hear that on BBC

:26:52.:26:56.

Two, where we will show the medal ceremony for that. And we have

:26:57.:27:00.

cycling with Mark Cavendish in the men's on the, and of course the

:27:01.:27:06.

tennis, where Andy Murray is playing Del Potro. But we can look at the

:27:07.:27:11.

medals table. I am excited about this. Great Britain in second place.

:27:12.:27:20.

37 medals in total and bear in mind in Beijing, it was 47 total, 19 gold

:27:21.:27:26.

medals. Great Britain are flying and there could be more to come. Join us

:27:27.:27:33.

on BBC Two. Jessica Ennis-Hill winning a silver medal in the

:27:34.:27:37.

heptathlon will be joining us. We will chat to her and have more

:27:38.:27:41.

live-action and building up to the early hours, where Usain Bolt will

:27:42.:27:47.

attempt to defend his title for the third Olympics in a row in the 100

:27:48.:27:52.

metres. Over to BBC Two now, goodbye.

:27:53.:28:00.

You look up. 100 metres. Stretching before you.

:28:01.:28:13.

Four years' hard graft. Ten seconds to execute the plan. Heads down.

:28:14.:28:24.

Focus. Too soon, and you are out. Get the mind in gear and the body

:28:25.:28:32.

will follow. They get away first time.

:28:33.:28:44.

Drive. Accelerate. If you don't have power, you will not have speed.

:28:45.:28:50.

You are the architect. This is your moment. Usain Bolt! One chance to be

:28:51.:28:59.

the greatest. To make history when it counts.

:29:00.:29:01.

Simple but fiendish. That's how you like it, you two.

:29:02.:29:08.

That's how I describe Paul. Yeah.

:29:09.:29:11.
