:00:50. > :00:56.Welcome back to coverage of an extraordinary Sunday at the Olympic
:00:57. > :01:02.Games here in Rio, where gold medals are flying in in gymnastics, in golf
:01:03. > :01:07.and just in the last five minutes, in cycling, we Jason Kenny has won
:01:08. > :01:11.the men's individual sprint in front of team-mate Callum Skinner. To let
:01:12. > :01:15.you know what is happening in this next programme over the next half an
:01:16. > :01:21.hour, we will be switching to BBC One at half past ten, and you will
:01:22. > :01:28.get Match Of The Day 2 here on BBC Two. The tennis, Andy Murray versus
:01:29. > :01:32.Juan Martin Del Potro is an BBC Four. Jessica Ennis-Hill is going to
:01:33. > :01:39.be talking to Chris and myself here in a moment. We will have the
:01:40. > :01:42.elimination race for Mark Cavendish, and the individual pursuit as well,
:01:43. > :01:49.which is part of his Omnium. And later tonight, 2:25am for Usain Bolt
:01:50. > :01:54.against the rest, Justin Gatlin and the rest. Sir Chris Hoy is alongside
:01:55. > :02:00.me, celebrating the achievements of Jason Kenny, it is difficult to ask
:02:01. > :02:03.you this, but I know you will try to answer it, where would you put him
:02:04. > :02:12.in the pantheon of great British cyclists. I think we should wait
:02:13. > :02:18.until he finishes his career, I think you could go to Tokyo and even
:02:19. > :02:23.beyond Tokyo and continue to win. He could have nine or ten gold medals,
:02:24. > :02:28.he could be the of the British team. In the last four years, he hasn't
:02:29. > :02:33.won many world titles, but he has come to form at just the right time,
:02:34. > :02:37.and if he can do that, who knows where it could stop? P could be the
:02:38. > :02:41.greatest, this is his fifth gold medal, and he and Callum Skinner
:02:42. > :02:46.have been talking to Jill Douglas. Callum Skinner gold and silver edge
:02:47. > :02:52.first Olympic Games. I know you would love to have beaten your
:02:53. > :02:58.team-mate here, but just how pleased and proud are you? Yes, the journey
:02:59. > :03:04.is incredible, I got beaten by the world champion, I have a silver
:03:05. > :03:10.medal. He had the legs and attack X, I did everything I could. You worked
:03:11. > :03:15.so hard to get onto this team, to get that team sprint gold medal.
:03:16. > :03:20.What did it mean to you to have made it here? Did you ever believe you
:03:21. > :03:28.would be going home with two medals? No. Phil Hindes believed in us. It
:03:29. > :03:32.has just been incredible. I think Jason with say that as well, so to
:03:33. > :03:37.come away with anything is just a bonus. A repeat of Beijing, and then
:03:38. > :03:42.this young man turned it around for years later, so we can expect big
:03:43. > :03:45.things from you in four years' time. Jason, can you put into words what
:03:46. > :03:54.it means to you to win your fifth Olympic gold medal? Yes, it's really
:03:55. > :03:59.special. I just... I am just really grateful. Everyone seems to work
:04:00. > :04:05.really hard for us, and we appreciate it. At the Olympics, we
:04:06. > :04:09.have a team who just work so hard, and everyone is so focused on the
:04:10. > :04:13.Olympic Games, so when we come here and win, it feels like the team
:04:14. > :04:17.wins, particularly when we win the team events, that is why they are so
:04:18. > :04:25.special to us, because we have everyone behind us pushing us on and
:04:26. > :04:29.making the most out of training. You looked so composed coming into this,
:04:30. > :04:32.both of you very relaxed. How have you handled the build-up? You were
:04:33. > :04:37.sharing a room and now you are sharing a podium. We have raced a
:04:38. > :04:41.lot in our careers against each other, and we will race a lot more,
:04:42. > :04:48.I'm sure. It is just another race in one way. It's hard, because you have
:04:49. > :04:53.so long between rides, last night we finished the semi-plu-mac, and we
:04:54. > :04:57.had 24 hours before doing the final tonight, and my confidence has been
:04:58. > :05:03.knocked a bit after that lost to Demetrius in the semis, but I woke
:05:04. > :05:12.up from that and managed to take it into the final. Five gold medals,
:05:13. > :05:16.equalling Sir Steve Redgrave and so Sir Bradley Wiggins, and Sir Chris
:05:17. > :05:22.Hoy is predicting you will get to his record this week! I will give it
:05:23. > :05:27.my best shot. We have day off now which will be much appreciated. A
:05:28. > :05:30.day off tomorrow, better recovery, and hopefully we will come back
:05:31. > :05:37.fighting and hopefully get something out of it. Thank you both very much
:05:38. > :05:41.indeed. Thank you. Holding macro and many congratulations to both of
:05:42. > :05:45.them. Gold and silver for Great Britain, and we are joined by
:05:46. > :05:48.Jessica Ennis-Hill, heptathlon champion from London, silver
:05:49. > :05:53.medallist last night. Have you been to the velodrome before? I've never,
:05:54. > :05:59.so it is incredible to be here and feel the atmosphere were new
:06:00. > :06:03.walk-in. We will chat to you about your event as well, when I asked if
:06:04. > :06:08.you could swap out an event in the heptathlon and put in another one,
:06:09. > :06:12.you said tennis! Tennis might be on the horizon. Let's remind every body
:06:13. > :06:19.what happened in the two days of heptathlon competition.
:06:20. > :06:25.And enthralling two days of competition before us. Johnson
:06:26. > :06:34.Thompson just starting to come through now. The Olympic champion
:06:35. > :06:38.ready to launch her defence. No mistakes so far, quick between the
:06:39. > :06:43.barriers, and 12.84 is a very good start.
:06:44. > :06:56.She has got it! The best she has jumped in recent years. And Thiam
:06:57. > :07:05.has a new lifetime best of 1.90 eight. Katarina Johnson-Thompson, a
:07:06. > :07:15.new British record. That's not good, and she knows it. Oh, the face tells
:07:16. > :07:23.a story. And Thiam is putting together a brilliant first day.
:07:24. > :07:31.Thiam coming back and finishing strongly. Katarina Johnson-Thompson
:07:32. > :07:40.needs an outstanding 200 metres now. Jessica Ennis-Hill will take the
:07:41. > :07:45.lead. That is a decent jump for Katarina Johnson-Thompson. That was
:07:46. > :07:49.a chance to put daylight between her and the rest of the world, and that
:07:50. > :07:56.will give Jessica Ennis-Hill something to think about. I don't
:07:57. > :08:00.know where she goes from here, she puts so much pressure on her 800
:08:01. > :08:05.metres, and she has produced something massive, it is a huge
:08:06. > :08:10.effort! The final event of this Olympic heptathlon. Will this lady
:08:11. > :08:14.become the Olympic champion? Can Jess Ennis hill put enough distance
:08:15. > :08:22.between herself and Thiam? Stopwatches at the ready. The gap is
:08:23. > :08:27.not big enough at the moment, it was about three and a half seconds.
:08:28. > :08:31.Thiam is rallying, and Jess Ennis is doing everything she can coming down
:08:32. > :08:36.the home straight. It will be very close to her best, and now the clock
:08:37. > :09:05.is ticking, and Thiam is going to become the Olympic champion.
:09:06. > :09:22.Diddy any Montero there from Brazil just crossing the line in the men's
:09:23. > :09:26.omnium. It was the second pair of riders to go right in the individual
:09:27. > :09:30.pursuit. The place has really come to life, you would think he was
:09:31. > :09:36.racing for the gold medal, the noise in here. It could be a
:09:37. > :09:47.once-in-a-lifetime experience in front of this crowd. He didn't lack
:09:48. > :09:54.for support, Gideoni Monteiro was on the track at the same time as Leung
:09:55. > :09:58.Chun Wing, but they are not strictly riding just against each other, they
:09:59. > :10:03.will be ranked on time. Not just important to win, but the time you
:10:04. > :10:08.post is what you will be given the points on. So they get 44 the
:10:09. > :10:12.fastest ride, and 38 and so on downwards to 21st, and after that
:10:13. > :10:16.will be awarded, they normally awarded one point each, but there
:10:17. > :10:24.are not that many riders in this event.
:10:25. > :10:26.Gideoni Monteiro finishing 18th in London this year the World
:10:27. > :10:30.Championship, that was the performance that got them the riding
:10:31. > :10:36.neolithic games, and he is the first Brazilian to race in track cycling
:10:37. > :10:48.from Brazil in the Olympics in 24 years. He certainly gave us a good
:10:49. > :10:55.show there. And this is Kazushige Kuboki from Japan, and in the green,
:10:56. > :11:04.the Mexican rider, Ignatius Prado, who won the scratch race in London.
:11:05. > :11:08.It is not his favourite event, but you have to do everything in the
:11:09. > :11:15.omnium, you have to be more than a jack of all trades, you have to be a
:11:16. > :11:22.very good pursuit. The Olympic record before this was 4.15, and
:11:23. > :11:30.even though it is one of six events, the record for this is 4.19, so that
:11:31. > :11:35.shows how good it is. It is a tough mixture of speed and injuring is.
:11:36. > :11:39.You can be a tough competitor who wants the speed, or you can be any
:11:40. > :11:42.endurance rider who has enough power to live with the sprinters, but
:11:43. > :11:47.consistency across disciplines is what this is all about. Mark
:11:48. > :11:52.Cavendish will be on a little later. We have three more pairings before
:11:53. > :11:57.Mark Cavendish is on the track, and interestingly, when he races, he
:11:58. > :12:05.will be on at the same time as the world champion, Fernando Gaviria.
:12:06. > :12:13.So, Ignacio Prado, and Kazushige Kuboki from Japan are still racing,
:12:14. > :12:17.and we can go back to Clare. Thank you, Simon. Apologies for the
:12:18. > :12:20.sound issues there. I want to talk to Jessica Ennis-Hill about the shot
:12:21. > :12:25.of the athletes at the end of heptathlon, that sums up your sport.
:12:26. > :12:28.That is the special thing about the heptathlon, we have two days of
:12:29. > :12:34.gruelling competition, we all appreciate how hard it is, and what
:12:35. > :12:36.we put our bodies through physically and mentally, and to have that
:12:37. > :12:41.moment at the end where we can all say we have got through this and
:12:42. > :12:46.thank the crowd, and there were so many GB flags flying around the
:12:47. > :12:50.stadium. Sorry about this. Now that you have had time to think about
:12:51. > :12:53.this, how do you assess your own performance, and how proud are you
:12:54. > :12:58.of what you have managed to do out here? This is my second Olympics,
:12:59. > :13:02.and to come away with another medal, I left everything on the track, I
:13:03. > :13:06.gave all I had over those two days, in the past couple of years have
:13:07. > :13:08.been challenging in so many ways, and I am proud to have got to this
:13:09. > :13:15.point and come away with another podium medal. I don't know how you
:13:16. > :13:19.did it. I'm sure we have all in talking about the fact that you have
:13:20. > :13:22.become a mother, I have become a dad myself in the last couple of years,
:13:23. > :13:25.and I'm not an athlete now, just trying to deal with the lack of
:13:26. > :13:30.sleep and the change in your life, I am so impressed that you have come
:13:31. > :13:33.back to become world champion and win another Olympic medal, how has
:13:34. > :13:38.that affected your life as an athlete? It has affected every part
:13:39. > :13:42.of my life, and you have to make sure you rest and recover, and you
:13:43. > :13:45.trained so hard, my whole schedule of training has had to change,
:13:46. > :13:50.Reggie comes first before absolutely everything, and I make everything
:13:51. > :13:53.fit around him, but with a great team and great family and support, I
:13:54. > :13:58.have been able to get back on the world stage and achieve more medals
:13:59. > :14:03.and more of my dreams. I guess the thing for you is that
:14:04. > :14:07.you now have so much more in your life that you are not defined by
:14:08. > :14:12.sport any more, you are not defined by being a athlete. Does that change
:14:13. > :14:19.perspective in terms of, what decisions do I make next, how do I
:14:20. > :14:22.live my knife now -- my life now? Yes, everybody gets to a stage where
:14:23. > :14:26.you have to make that big decision as to whether you go on a little bit
:14:27. > :14:31.longer or call today, and it will be a tough decision, but I'm so proud
:14:32. > :14:35.of what I have achieved in my career, and it is tough, but like
:14:36. > :14:39.you say, I am very content in life, I feel I have a great balance, and
:14:40. > :14:44.it is for me to make that decision now, but a proud moment. And what
:14:45. > :14:52.were your feelings coming to an away Olympics for the first time? Your
:14:53. > :14:55.first Olympics were London 2012. For a home athlete it was second to
:14:56. > :15:00.none, but what was it like coming to Rio?
:15:01. > :15:07.My whole lead up in these games was completely different. I do not think
:15:08. > :15:12.I will feel that pressure and expectation I did in 2012. It has
:15:13. > :15:18.been a nice build-up, less stressful. I had a great holding
:15:19. > :15:22.camp in Barcelona with Reggie and Andy. I felt relaxed coming in. I
:15:23. > :15:28.wanted to give it absolutely everything. When you did stand on
:15:29. > :15:33.that medals podium, were you taking everything in, just thinking, this
:15:34. > :15:39.might be the last time and if it is, I want to remember every single bit
:15:40. > :15:44.of it? I do not have my medal yet, I will get it this evening. Yes. This
:15:45. > :15:49.evening. I will definitely be standing on the podium and taking
:15:50. > :15:54.every little bit, the whole journey I have had, the past three or four
:15:55. > :16:00.years, I will probably get a bit teary, it has been an emotional few
:16:01. > :16:14.days, it has been really special. We have to have a word for Nafissatou
:16:15. > :16:18.Thiam. For her to achieve what she did, she is 21 and she is Olympic
:16:19. > :16:27.champion and she is an amazing athlete and there is a much more to
:16:28. > :16:33.come. She was nursing an elbow injury and still managed to throw
:16:34. > :16:37.the javelin a mile. Are you rushing home to see Reggie and Andy are will
:16:38. > :16:44.you stay here and take in more events? And going to see as much as
:16:45. > :16:49.I can this evening and tomorrow. Every time I look on Twitter or
:16:50. > :16:53.social media, we have won and other medal, another gold medal, the team
:16:54. > :16:57.is doing amazing and spirits are so high. I am looking forward to is
:16:58. > :17:01.seen as much as I can but then I am heading home and I cannot wait to
:17:02. > :17:10.get home and see Reggie. Quarter past ten tonight. Quarter past ten
:17:11. > :17:14.tonight, quarter past two year time, many congratulations for everything
:17:15. > :17:21.you have achieved. You will be able to watch Usain Bolt in 100 metres.
:17:22. > :17:22.Let us go and see whether Andy Murray can take the first set
:17:23. > :17:44.against one Martin Del Potro. There is this that. It has gone this
:17:45. > :17:49.way and that, Andy Murray is up 4-1. Andy Murray made a number of errors
:17:50. > :17:55.and was looking second-hand and second-best. In the end, he has
:17:56. > :18:01.clawed it back, wonderful backhand down the line does the job. It was a
:18:02. > :18:05.scorcher. He threaded the needle, several people in the crowd rose to
:18:06. > :18:09.their feet in appreciation of the Murray brilliance. It has been
:18:10. > :18:14.sparse in the back end of this first set. A sparkling start, he has put
:18:15. > :18:25.the lid on it and he will be delighted. He has snatched the
:18:26. > :18:30.opener 7-5. He was making some strange unforced errors and he
:18:31. > :18:34.looked in real difficulty. Again, he has fought his way through. Not
:18:35. > :18:45.exactly a crisis, but it was a serious problem.
:18:46. > :18:55.He has taken the first set in an hour and a quarter, 7-5.
:18:56. > :19:07.When we switch back to BBC One, we will be joining it live and watching
:19:08. > :19:13.it to the conclusion. Here in the Velodrome we have seen Jason Kenny
:19:14. > :19:18.win the fifth gold medal of his career. Curtly Ambrose, the
:19:19. > :19:22.individual pursuit section of the tampon. First he is Chris Boardman
:19:23. > :19:33.to explain how imported aerodynamics are in cycling. Aerodynamics has
:19:34. > :19:39.historically been important. It is hard to stay focused on something
:19:40. > :19:44.you cannot see or feel. You cannot until you come to a place like this.
:19:45. > :19:51.What kind of changes will affect performance and by how much? Up
:19:52. > :19:55.until the 1980s, the emphasis was on weight saving and with the arrival
:19:56. > :19:59.of carbon fibre, there was the opportunity to reduce mass to
:20:00. > :20:04.ridiculous levels. When the para nearing few realised it was more
:20:05. > :20:10.important, superlight performance, slipped into the wind sections. The
:20:11. > :20:13.bike equates to 20%, so it was when attention was turned away from the
:20:14. > :20:20.machine that things got really interesting. Turbulence in choosing
:20:21. > :20:23.holes in a standard helmet while good for cooling created a lot of
:20:24. > :20:27.resistance and they were filled in and smoothed over fuel. Figure
:20:28. > :20:35.handing 1-piece garment were now standard even for a long road races.
:20:36. > :20:39.Without the ability to measure resistance, positional choices were
:20:40. > :20:41.driven by instinct, so some power production to presidents and once
:20:42. > :20:45.they arrived here and riders could measure the benefits of talking up,
:20:46. > :20:50.their choices became more informed. With this extra bit of information,
:20:51. > :20:56.bigger way up the pros as well as the payoff of being comfortable
:20:57. > :21:00.might wait -- might well be worth the price. As the saying goes,
:21:01. > :21:03.knowledge is power, it is not surprising that the individuals in
:21:04. > :21:06.teams that have invested in understanding this invisible foe or
:21:07. > :21:13.the ones coming out in front. In my opinion, there is plenty more to be
:21:14. > :21:17.discovered. And Great Britain do seem to be at the forefront of the
:21:18. > :21:21.race as it were to be technologically further forward than
:21:22. > :21:28.anybody else. In this omnium we see the men riding lots of different
:21:29. > :21:31.disciplines, we have already seen a bunch race, will Mark Cavendish be
:21:32. > :21:38.on a different bike for this? Very much so. Any of the time -- time
:21:39. > :21:43.trial events, they will ride on the bikes with the extended handlebars,
:21:44. > :21:46.it fits them in a lower more aerodynamic position, they do not
:21:47. > :21:50.have to poll on the handlebars or get out of the saddle as much as
:21:51. > :21:57.they do in a bunch race. It is about efficiency, they will have the Long
:21:58. > :22:03.tail helmet on, it is horses for courses. One thing that I noticed in
:22:04. > :22:08.swimming and with swimming they shave everything and they move
:22:09. > :22:13.through the water and they shave everything and they have got caps
:22:14. > :22:17.and aerodynamic goggles, they do not look to shave everything and I know
:22:18. > :22:22.some of them is covered, but you would think that facial hair or even
:22:23. > :22:27.hair underneath would be better gone? Facial hair, if you look at
:22:28. > :22:32.where that part of your body would hit the air, it can actually in
:22:33. > :22:36.theory, it would be a trip, something that will cause
:22:37. > :22:40.turbulence, before it hits another object and in some ways to try and
:22:41. > :22:44.manipulate the air before it hits a bigger object, not that I am saying
:22:45. > :22:47.they would grow a beard to be more aerodynamic, but if you look at the
:22:48. > :22:51.position of your chin would be versus your chest, there is no
:22:52. > :22:59.difference unless you had a ridiculous big bushy beard. There
:23:00. > :23:02.was a guy in the Australian team who had a big beard and that was
:23:03. > :23:06.ridiculous, that was clearly slowing him down. But he liked it. What did
:23:07. > :23:12.you think during your career was the biggest game-changer? Biggest
:23:13. > :23:17.game-changer, it was the technology, not so much in terms of the bikes or
:23:18. > :23:21.the clothing, but the analysis and performance, it was looking into
:23:22. > :23:25.measuring torque, power, analysing everything, the speed, been able to
:23:26. > :23:28.see what was working was not, because you look at the stopwatch
:23:29. > :23:32.and you can see that it was faster but you do not know why. You can
:23:33. > :23:34.look into detail and what is happening with the performance of
:23:35. > :23:38.the athlete and the one thing I would say, equipment is important,
:23:39. > :23:41.but it is not the be all and end all. The athlete is the most
:23:42. > :23:46.important thing and that is what they focus their energy on, trying
:23:47. > :23:49.to improve the output of the athletes and the kit is the cherry
:23:50. > :23:56.on the cake, it is all about the athlete. Who for you is the best
:23:57. > :24:03.athlete in cycling? Jason Kenny. I think he is... I do not like to use
:24:04. > :24:06.the term natural talent, because it can insinuate that you just get out
:24:07. > :24:11.of bed and go fast, he has put a lot of hard work again. He has changed
:24:12. > :24:17.physically since Beijing when he was very slender. The way the event has
:24:18. > :24:21.changed, they are using bigger gears which requires more power, he has
:24:22. > :24:25.focused on his strength conditioning programme which pushes the bigger
:24:26. > :24:29.gears. It is the way he adapts to training, the way he picks up on
:24:30. > :24:35.things, his ability to deal with pressure when it counts, nothing
:24:36. > :24:40.phases them. Even the interview, he has won a fifth Olympic gold medal,
:24:41. > :24:43.how do you feel, all right. He is amazing. He is the kind of guy you
:24:44. > :24:46.want on the team when you're going into battle at the Olympics and you
:24:47. > :24:49.want to know your team-mates will deal with the pressure, he is the
:24:50. > :24:53.man to be next to you, not always the one you want to be facing when
:24:54. > :24:57.you're trying to win, as Callum Skinner realise, but a phenomenal
:24:58. > :25:02.athlete, massively underrated, he has a bright future ahead of him.
:25:03. > :25:07.The range of skills that is enormous. From those printers, that
:25:08. > :25:12.explosive speed, to Bradley Wiggins at the other end and Mark Cavendish,
:25:13. > :25:18.somewhere in between because he can do endurance and he has won lots, he
:25:19. > :25:23.wins the sprint at the end of the Tour de France. A road sprinter
:25:24. > :25:27.versus track sprinters situation, because he gets called a sprinter,
:25:28. > :25:33.people assume that he is the fastest sprint cyclist in the world, the
:25:34. > :25:37.fastest in the world there is Jason Kenny, Mark Cavendish can write for
:25:38. > :25:41.six hours, so cup all that fatigue and then produced a phenomenal
:25:42. > :25:45.sprint and beat any of the other endurance athletes but in a
:25:46. > :25:48.head-to-head sprint against Jason Kenny, he would be about ten length
:25:49. > :25:51.behind him. To do what Mark Cavendish does, as printers, we
:25:52. > :25:56.could never do that, never make it to the finishing line of a six-hour
:25:57. > :26:00.race to try and sprint against them, because we would be have an hour
:26:01. > :26:05.behind. He has an unbelievable number of stage wins in the Tour de
:26:06. > :26:09.France. He first competed at the Olympics in Beijing, it did not go
:26:10. > :26:14.to plan, because by them Bradley Wiggins was shot, it was meant to be
:26:15. > :26:20.his race to win, the road race in London, that did not off, so this
:26:21. > :26:25.was his last chance for a medal? The thing that is tough that those three
:26:26. > :26:29.events, there is a huge amount of variables involved versus the team
:26:30. > :26:33.pursuit, which is very controllable. You go into an event knowing you
:26:34. > :26:42.will be there or thereabouts for a medal in a team pursuit but in a
:26:43. > :26:46.omnium, a road race, a Madison there are no guarantees. Whilst he was
:26:47. > :26:49.very capable and was the favourite for the road race, it did not play
:26:50. > :26:52.out well, there were other factors involved with teams and various
:26:53. > :26:55.things. It is tough, it is not that he has not deserved to win a medal,
:26:56. > :26:58.but it shows you how hard it is, there are no guarantees just because
:26:59. > :27:02.Team GB are dominating, there is nothing to say that Mark Cavendish
:27:03. > :27:08.will win. If he wins any medal, it will be massive, even a bronze medal
:27:09. > :27:12.will be a huge achievement. How is he under pressure? His record shows
:27:13. > :27:17.that he can deal with pressure at all levels. He is a very emotional
:27:18. > :27:20.person, very passionate, he cares immensely about the end result. That
:27:21. > :27:24.might be the only thing that could work against them if things start to
:27:25. > :27:30.go a little bit wrong, whether or not he can maintain focus and stay
:27:31. > :27:34.calm. He is so experience, his strongest events are the bunch races
:27:35. > :27:38.and because this has a greater weight than the omnium, the sixth
:27:39. > :27:43.and final event will be good for him. His weakest event would be the
:27:44. > :27:48.pursuit and the kilometre time trial, his flying lap, he has
:27:49. > :27:53.improved that massively, he is not a sprinter but for a omnium rider he
:27:54. > :27:56.is very fast, he got 12.90 in training, a personal best and they
:27:57. > :28:02.can do close to that or faster he will be at the sharp end of things.
:28:03. > :28:07.Just having a look, he is not for a while yet. Can I ask, the shape of
:28:08. > :28:14.this and the design of it, when was the first Velodrome, rather than
:28:15. > :28:21.athletics, where they run around on a flat track, why have this shape to
:28:22. > :28:25.it? The reason is so that you can go flat out through the corners without
:28:26. > :28:29.slowing down. If you had a flat corner and you pedalled around,
:28:30. > :28:34.you're inside pedal with hit the track and you would fall off. It is
:28:35. > :28:37.for maintaining speed and I think it is a beautiful thing to look at, it
:28:38. > :28:42.is one of the most spectacular arenas to watch a sporting event in.
:28:43. > :28:46.We will have more from here at the Velodrome and a gold medal ceremony
:28:47. > :28:51.to come as we celebrate the success of Jason Kenny in his individual
:28:52. > :28:55.sprint, today has been so far for Great Britain, Justin Rose, safe to
:28:56. > :28:59.say is absolutely thrilled with having won the gold medal in the
:29:00. > :29:01.Gulf. A prolonged play-off against Henrik Stenson, the two them had
:29:02. > :29:16.drawn clear, Matt Kuchar came through to give them something to
:29:17. > :29:19.think about, but a birdie at the 18th for Justin Rose secured victory
:29:20. > :29:21.and the first British golf champion. Max Whitlock, much more difficult to
:29:22. > :29:25.achieve became the first ever reddish Olympic champion, having won
:29:26. > :29:31.not just one but two gold medals on the floor and on the pommel horse.
:29:32. > :29:35.Just to reemphasise, much of the day two will happen on BBC Two very
:29:36. > :29:39.shortly, because we are switching to BBC One and we will have more
:29:40. > :29:42.coverage of this extraordinary day at the Rio Olympics and we will be
:29:43. > :29:47.joining the tennis, Andy Murray took the first set against Juan Martin
:29:48. > :29:49.Del Potro. We will bring you the best of it on BBC One and we will
:29:50. > :30:34.see you there. Usain Bolt is getting away from the
:30:35. > :30:37.field. He has done it again. And new world record. He is going to win the
:30:38. > :30:38.gold medal. He has done it again.
