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. |
