Last night, Danny Boyle gave us a show to make Britain proud. It was | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
watched by millions all over the world, including 26 million of you | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
on the BBC. Today, attention switches to the swimming arena, and | 0:03:13 | 0:03:21 | |
all eyes on one athlete. He has won 14 of these little beauties, and he | 0:03:21 | 0:03:31 | |

He has got it! And that is it, eight it straight gold medals for | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps is the greatest. Absolutely brilliant, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:45 | |
Good evening. It promises to be an enthralling night in the pool, but | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
there are doubts as to whether Superman retains his palace, after | 0:04:49 | 0:04:55 | |
he only just scraped into the final. Michael Phelps goes for gold | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
against teammate Ryan Lochte, who beat him in last year's US national | 0:04:59 | 0:05:09 | |

0:05:34 | 0:05:34 | ||
individual medley final. Team GB's women's footballers were targeting | 0:05:34 | 0:05:44 | |
a quarter-final place, if they could beat Cameroon. We will see | 0:05:44 | 0:05:54 | |
0:05:54 | 0:05:54 | ||
how middleweight boxer Anthony Ogogo fared in his opening bout. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
Not so brilliant sport to look forward to, with the swimming | 0:05:59 | 0:06:07 | |
taking the plunge at 7:30pm, and that dominates our show tonight. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:13 | |
There's only one place to start, and that's with the cycling, but we | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
will wait a bit for that. We have got a review of the Opening | 0:06:17 | 0:06:24 | |
Ceremony later on, taking us up to Ceremony later on, taking us up to | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
9pm. Then we have got the women's football gymnastics, always great | 0:06:27 | 0:06:37 | |
0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | ||
to watch, at 9:25pm. Then we will rounded up with boxing. We start | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
with cycling, and the much anticipated road race. The hopes of | 0:06:44 | 0:06:54 | |

COMMENTATOR: Mark Cavendish, he is the world champion! It is a once- | 0:07:14 | 0:07:24 | |
0:07:24 | 0:07:30 | ||
We have got a bit of an attack on here. Trying to inject some pace | 0:07:31 | 0:07:40 | |
0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | ||
of... There's a in the road bends and, very dangerous indeed. A lot | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
of conversation going on between the British team, trying to decide | 0:07:46 | 0:07:56 | |
0:07:56 | 0:08:03 | ||
This is the palate and, which is being led by Chris Froome. They are | 0:08:03 | 0:08:13 | |
0:08:13 | 0:08:19 | ||
trailing the leading group, of some There's a real Chase on now. Great | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
Britain are really applying the pressure, to limit the leader of | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
that group which has given the peloton to slip. The whole thing | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
has been condensed into two minutes now. It really is an impressive | 0:08:32 | 0:08:38 | |
piece of work, to have just four guys control the peloton. If they | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
could pull this off, it would be one of the most extraordinary | 0:08:41 | 0:08:51 | |
0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | ||
things I have seen in sport. They are looking down the barrel now. We | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
have got about 24 miles of racing left. That is less than an hour | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
before we crown the Olympic gold- medallist in London. Bradley | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
Wiggins has got to work now, they wanted to save him for the sprint, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
but this group up the road, it is just way too dangerous. They need | 0:09:12 | 0:09:20 | |
to get on top of it as quickly as possible. Alarm bells are ringing, | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
and that's because this is very, very dangerous for Great Britain. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
They are running out of distance. They know it. They could do with | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
somebody to come through and help with the workload. Mark Cavendish's | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
gold-medal chances are slipping away here. Oh, there's a crash! | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
They have gone into the barriers! Well, one of the big favourites has | 0:09:43 | 0:09:50 | |
gone out. He is one of the best bike riders in the world, and | 0:09:50 | 0:09:57 | |
that's really going to change the course of the base. That was Fabian | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Cancellara going out. This race would appear to be over for the | 0:10:00 | 0:10:07 | |
British guys now. Look at this for an attack on the left, a downhill | 0:10:07 | 0:10:14 | |
attack! CHRIS BOARDMAN: Bradley Wiggins | 0:10:14 | 0:10:23 | |
worked incredibly hard for his team, he is spent. He looks as cross, as | 0:10:23 | 0:10:30 | |
much as to say, who is going to win this? He caught him lapping there. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:36 | |
Coming up to the line to take the gold medal! Vinokourov so is the | 0:10:36 | 0:10:44 | |
Olympic champion! Yes, unbelievable. Great Britain worked so hard all | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
day, but it just slipped away in the closing stages. The team could | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
do no more for you, but at times, it seemed as if the rest of the | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
world was up against Great Britain. That is what we can put it down to. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:02 | |
Nobody wants to help. It seems like most teams, they are happy not to | 0:11:02 | 0:11:07 | |
win, as long as we do not win. Joining us, Chris Boardman, who | 0:11:07 | 0:11:12 | |
watched that raise very closely indeed - where did it all go wrong, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
they were never in it? It is a bit of a cliche, but they were a victim | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
of their own success. They employed exactly the same tactics, it is | 0:11:21 | 0:11:26 | |
just one script, we are all here to work for one person, Mark Cavendish, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
just like they did at the World Championships last year. And it | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
worked. In the Tour de France, they batted everybody. So today, every | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
time somebody went up the road, everybody else turned around and | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
said, go on, you chase them. It is more that they did not help them. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
They did not help themselves, actually. 33 guys went into that | 0:11:47 | 0:11:57 | |
final breakaway, and that where the winner came from. But the Germans, | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
including the second best sprinter in the world at the moment, they | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
just sat back as well, saving everybody for the sprint finish at | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
the end, but it did not happen. It needed more than four people to | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
chase back 33. Did they get their tactics wrong, in the sense that, | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
did they not see that nobody was going to help them? Could they have | 0:12:16 | 0:12:21 | |
closed the gap earlier? Once the group has gone away, there is | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
nothing you can do about it. With four people, you can influence a | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
race, but you cannot control it. In last year's World Championships, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
there was eight of them. That makes a difference. The problem with Mark, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
nobody wants to arrive on the last 200 metres on the Mall with Mark | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
Cavendish, because you will be finishing second. It is a real | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
shame for him, isn't it? It is very much out of his control, relying on | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
the team. It is totally out of his control. He could not have done | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
anything else. He has been out practising on the course. Was it | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
the Tour de France, the success, the amount it might have taken out | 0:12:59 | 0:13:04 | |
of the team? I think they were in good shape, actually. It is just | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
literally, the other riders decided not to contribute to the race, and | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
they lost out as well. It is a real shame for Mark Cavendish, isn't it? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:19 | |
He lost out four years ago, and now it has happened again. That's it | 0:13:19 | 0:13:24 | |
for this Games as well. Yes, it was the only Olympic Games he will see | 0:13:24 | 0:13:32 | |
in his lifetime. It was a massive opportunity. But it is opposite | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
sides of the same coin. Cancellara fell off, and he was one of the big | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
riders as well. He was due to be a big rival for Bradley Wiggins in | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
the time-trial. Yes, this guy is one of the best bike and was in the | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
world. He knocked his back wheel, then lost his front one, and hit | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
the barrier. I suspect he could have even broken his collarbone. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
That would mean he would be out of the time trial. The winner, | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
Vinokourov, previously banned, of course. Yes, he has served a | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
suspension, which is quite contentious, so it will be | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
interesting to see what the press do with that one. But today, he was | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
allowed to ride, it was his only victory this year, I think. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
Tomorrow, we have got the women's race - how do you see Britain's | 0:14:19 | 0:14:25 | |
chances, with Nicole Cooke? She is a bit of an individual, isn't she? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:32 | |
Yes, she is feisty, coming just, and a winner, above all else. -- | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
courageous. She will probably attack early. If it is altogether | 0:14:37 | 0:14:44 | |
at the end, then it will be Lizzie Armitstead in the Sprint. There are | 0:14:44 | 0:14:52 | |
a few more headlines now. Great Britain's Helen Glover and Heather | 0:14:52 | 0:14:59 | |
Stanning got their quest for a first female rowing gold off to a | 0:14:59 | 0:15:05 | |
great start. They set an Olympic record. The men's eight finished | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
second behind Germany, in a very competitive heat. They get another | 0:15:09 | 0:15:18 | |
chance to qualify for the final on Monday. A late burst of speed from | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Great Britain's lightweight four saw them narrowly winning their | 0:15:21 | 0:15:31 | |
0:15:31 | 0:15:32 | ||
heat ahead of Australia. Italy took a dramatic gold in the men's team | 0:15:32 | 0:15:42 | |
0:15:42 | 0:15:59 | ||
The first gold medal was won for China this morning. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
It is the first night of the swimming finals, and the man who 12 | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
years ago was head, shoulders and extremely large feet in front of | 0:16:07 | 0:16:16 | |
everyone else in the pool has resurfaced for us. Ian Thorpe, 17 | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
years of age, is going to win Australia's first gold of this | 0:16:20 | 0:16:26 | |
competition. To perform in front of a home crowd? It is not easy. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:33 | |
unbelievable swim. I cannot believe it. That is sensational. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
Performance is one thing, performance under pressure is | 0:16:35 | 0:16:45 | |
something else. He has done it! Entering the water, you are your | 0:16:45 | 0:16:55 | |
0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | ||
own. The crowd are willing him on. Four years of hard work, four years | 0:16:56 | 0:17:06 | |
0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | ||
of dedication, for one moment. a god here is. That is incredible. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:14 | |
He really is a superhero. London 2012, the best of British luck to | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
you. With the first swimming final of the Olympic Games just 15 | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
minutes away, who better to look forward to with than the man | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
himself? Ian Thorpe joins us. You could have been swimming in these | 0:17:27 | 0:17:34 | |
games yourself. I wish I was. that I am here and I feel the buzz, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:39 | |
it is disappointing. But I had the second-best alternative, being here | 0:17:39 | 0:17:44 | |
and able to watch it all on TV. happens to us all. There comes a | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
time when things do not work the way they used to. Is that what you | 0:17:48 | 0:17:58 | |
0:17:58 | 0:17:58 | ||
found? No. I am still swimming. And I will continue. I wanted to get | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
back to where I was, so it is not over yet. How have you found it | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
here, the Aquatics Centre? Good arena? P to four Arena. It is a | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
stunning building, like many of the venues around the park. Some | 0:18:13 | 0:18:20 | |
impressive times are being produced. There is the potential to cease | 0:18:20 | 0:18:26 | |
when records fall. All the talk is about Michael Phelps. He is an | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
extraordinary swimmer who has achieved so many more golds. He | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
needs three more medals to get more than anyone else. But the signs | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
were not good this morning. already consider him the greatest | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
Olympian. But three makes it official on every count you can | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
have. This morning, he qualified by 7 hundredths of a second, putting | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
him a long way separate from his training partner Ryan Lochte, who | 0:18:49 | 0:18:54 | |
he will be up against tonight. He did look sluggish, but he was | 0:18:54 | 0:19:01 | |
backing off a bit in the backstroke. So he has got room to improve. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:06 | |
is on the outside in lane eight. Is that a disadvantage? It can be an | 0:19:06 | 0:19:12 | |
advantage or a disadvantage. I qualified for a final in Athens by | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
one hundredths of a second, and I came third her. For me, it was an | 0:19:17 | 0:19:25 | |
advantage. Michael Wills won it the way he wants to. He knows his | 0:19:25 | 0:19:30 | |
training partner has to swim his own race as well, so we will see | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
the tactics. Far it is unusual in swimming to get two training | 0:19:35 | 0:19:40 | |
partners who are right up there. Very unusual. How was Lochte | 0:19:40 | 0:19:45 | |
tonight? They must do sessions apart, otherwise they would be | 0:19:45 | 0:19:50 | |
swimming exactly the same way and it would not be healthy. But the | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
rivalry they must have been training spurred them on. With the | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
domination that Phelps has enjoyed for so long, his partner must | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
always look up to him and think, you are the man, and have an | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
inferiority complex? I don't see Lochte being intimidated by Phelps | 0:20:07 | 0:20:13 | |
or vice versa. Looking at how Lochte has performed, I do not | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
think there is any inferiority there. I think they will both win a | 0:20:17 | 0:20:23 | |
stack of medals. That is not good for the rest of us. There was some | 0:20:23 | 0:20:33 | |
criticism about Phelps' attitude. Some said he relies on talent and | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
needs to do more. I disagreed with that. Michael Phelps is one of the | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
hardest trainers there are, the same as Lochte. Few people could | 0:20:43 | 0:20:48 | |
criticise Michael Fox on the training he does. Out of the four | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
finals taking place at the Aquatics Centre this evening, the only | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
realistic British medal hope is Hannah Miley in the 400m individual | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
medley. She is known as smiley Mailey, and if she gets on the | 0:21:00 | 0:21:06 | |
podium tonight, she will be highly smiley. It is going to be really | 0:21:06 | 0:21:13 | |
tight. Well done, Hannah Miley, silver! It is going to be Hannah | 0:21:13 | 0:21:20 | |
Miley! A wonderful gold. difficult is it to be coached by | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
your dad? He is very calm, and so are you? I have not really known it | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
any other way. He has always been my coat. He was the first person to | 0:21:28 | 0:21:34 | |
get me in the pool and told me how to swim. It was not until I was 10 | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
or 12 that I started going through the squad system. I thought it was | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
the most normal thing. I fully trust that he knows what he is | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
talking about, so for me to argue with him or think otherwise is | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
silly, because he has so much knowledge and always wants to learn | 0:21:49 | 0:21:56 | |
more. That trust by have for him is one of the reasons why it works. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
new guise to a training programme that is different to everyone else. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
Yes, I work with the motto that if you do what you have always done, | 0:22:04 | 0:22:11 | |
you will get what you have always done - my God. So we try to do | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
something different. Two years ago, I took up rock-climbing and I have | 0:22:16 | 0:22:21 | |
continued that. Then I started running. We have added different | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
things to it. I am one of those athletes who is a sucker for | 0:22:25 | 0:22:34 | |
punishment. I tend to keep going and I work best that way. For my | 0:22:34 | 0:22:39 | |
event, it works. Who is your main rival? Do you have an eye on | 0:22:39 | 0:22:45 | |
people? You ask, there are quite a few. I am very where -- very aware | 0:22:45 | 0:22:55 | |
0:22:55 | 0:22:55 | ||
of someone who is not far behind me in the rankings. There is also the | 0:22:55 | 0:23:03 | |
Spanish girl. There are the two Chinese girls. So there are a fair | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
few, and I am very aware of them. It is very tactical and strategic. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:15 | |
That is what makes it fun. We wish her well. What were your | 0:23:15 | 0:23:21 | |
training facilities like in Australia? I had a terrible pooled, | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
a five Lane Poole which I learned to swim in until I was 14. I made | 0:23:26 | 0:23:34 | |
the national team's winning in a terrible pool. She has to kneel in | 0:23:34 | 0:23:40 | |
the shallow end a, north of Aberdeen. I can appreciate a small | 0:23:41 | 0:23:46 | |
pool. It is tough for her, certainly to get gold. But a medal | 0:23:46 | 0:23:51 | |
would be a terrific start. Why is it tough? For her, she will use it | 0:23:51 | 0:23:59 | |
to her advantage. I think she is in with a shot to get a medal tonight. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:05 | |
We hope so. It is time we moved a couple of hundred yards across the | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
Olympic Park to the Aquatics Centre. We have come a long way since | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
London first have to be games over a century ago, when the swimming | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
pool was in the centre of the running track, which probably made | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
the javelin competition interesting. Time to say hello to our swimming | 0:24:19 | 0:24:26 | |
team, Mark Foster and Clare Balding. We are here inside this beautiful | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
Zaha Hadid designed Aquatics Centre, the underbelly of a whale is what | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
this Ruth is based on. Huge excitement here, Mark, because the | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
First Lady, Michelle Obama, just walked past. We had the Queen this | 0:24:37 | 0:24:42 | |
morning, and now the First Lady. It is all happening. The reason why | 0:24:42 | 0:24:47 | |
Michelle Obama is here is because this is the line-up tonight. What a | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
sensation on that of finals, the first night at the swimming. It | 0:24:50 | 0:25:00 | |
0:25:00 | 0:25:39 | ||
starts with a big head to head, Weather it is Nadal against Federer | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
or Seb Coe against Steve Ovett, we love a sporting rivalry, and | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
swimming can really savour this one, because we have the defending | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
champion, the seemingly unbeatable Phelps, up against the rising wave | 0:25:50 | 0:26:00 | |
0:26:00 | 0:26:25 | ||
that is Ryan Lochte. It is time for I think he really brings every | 0:26:25 | 0:26:32 | |
ounce of energy out of me. I think by all means that we are better | 0:26:32 | 0:26:37 | |
because of each other. We both hate to lose. We will do everything we | 0:26:37 | 0:26:43 | |
can when we are racing to get our hand on the wall first. I have | 0:26:43 | 0:26:49 | |
gotten a lot faster. I can compete with him. But no matter what, we | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
will still be friends. When we go to swimming heats, we'd hang out. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
But other than that, I honestly don't care what he is doing, and he | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
probably doesn't care what I am doing. We are just going to focus | 0:27:04 | 0:27:10 | |
on ourselves and get ready. I have always wanted to take the sport of | 0:27:10 | 0:27:15 | |
swimming to a new level, but also do things no one has done before. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:22 | |
That has given me a lot of hunger and made me work harder. I kind of | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
just go out there, do what I love to do and just race. That is fun to | 0:27:26 | 0:27:33 | |
me. I never get nervous, I get excited. I don't want to look back | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
on my career and have what ifs. I am just trying to go out, enjoy | 0:27:37 | 0:27:42 | |
myself and represent my country as best I can and have fun doing it. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:48 | |
If I win, I win. If I lose, I lose. I will still be the same person. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:54 | |
Whatever happens, happens. And one of the main reasons that Michelle | 0:27:54 | 0:28:00 | |
Obama is here is that this looks like being team USA's first gold | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
medal of these Olympics. They were beaten in the archery earlier this | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
evening. It is almost certain that Ryan Lochte or Michael Phelps will | 0:28:07 | 0:28:12 | |
win this race, because they are on a different planet. But the real | 0:28:12 | 0:28:17 | |
interest is which one. We know Phelps has squeaked into the final, | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
but he won this in Beijing and in Athens. Lochte is the one who has | 0:28:21 | 0:28:28 | |
been swimming 400 individual medley. Phelps hates it. Three titles in a | 0:28:28 | 0:28:35 | |
row has not happened in the pool forever. But he is racing against | 0:28:35 | 0:28:39 | |
his own compatriot. One trains in Florida, the other in Baltimore, | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
different sides of the country. This is what Michael Phelps said | 0:28:42 | 0:28:47 | |
inspired him to train hard again. Suddenly, he got beaten by one of | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
his own and he wanted to retain his title. You have got Phelps in lane | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
eight and Lochte in lane three. Different sides of the pool. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:59 | |
there an advantage for Phelps in that he will have clean water? If | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
they were next to each other, presumably there would be some | 0:29:02 | 0:29:08 | |
washed to deal with. Only tiny amounts. Normally, they are side by | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 | |
side and will just fight against each other. As far as the | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
spectators go, that would be a great race to see, side by side. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:20 | |
But now they will be doing their own race. They might look across | 0:29:20 | 0:29:26 | |
the pool, but it is a long way. Whatever happens, this will be | 0:29:26 | 0:29:32 | |
Michael Phelps' last 400m. He retires at the end of these Olympic | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
Games, and he says it is just about how many toppings he wants on his | 0:29:35 | 0:29:39 | |
Sunday. He is not talking about beating the all-time record of | 0:29:39 | 0:29:43 | |
Olympic medals, he just wants to go out there, swim as fast as he can | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
and do what he can. Ryan Lochte is as it is not just about beating | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
Michael, there are plenty of other swimmers and this will be a race to | 0:29:51 | 0:29:54 | |
savour. I hope those seats that looks Berra at the moment will be | 0:29:55 | 0:29:59 | |
full shortly, because this is a hot ticket tonight. Everybody wants To | 0:29:59 | 0:30:03 | |
Be Here. This is one of the biggest finals of the lot. Those who will | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
have the pleasure of commentating on it will be Adrian Moorhouse and | 0:30:06 | 0:30:16 | |
0:30:16 | 0:30:35 | ||
So, the final of the Men's 400m Individual Medley. Coming out | 0:30:35 | 0:30:44 | |
second, Thomas Fraser-Holmes. He has qualified fifth for the final. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:49 | |
And the men who's going to try to dethrone the king of the pool, that | 0:30:49 | 0:30:55 | |
is Ryan Lochte, the world champion in the 400 medley, but Michael | 0:30:55 | 0:31:05 | |
Phelps did not swim in that race last year. And a pretty big shock, | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
the second of the Japanese in this race, just 17 years of age, Kosuke | 0:31:08 | 0:31:15 | |
Hagino. A bronze-medallist at the World Youth Championships. Can you | 0:31:15 | 0:31:20 | |
imagine, he set a lifetime best to qualify fastest for the final ahead | 0:31:20 | 0:31:24 | |
of Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps. This guy also set a lifetime best, | 0:31:24 | 0:31:34 | |
to qualify. Absolutely, Chad le Clos had a great swim. I am | 0:31:34 | 0:31:44 | |
0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | ||
expecting him to go out very quickly. But I think the 17-year- | 0:31:47 | 0:31:53 | |
old in lane four, Kosuke Hagino, he looked very composed, I thought, as | 0:31:53 | 0:31:59 | |
he walked out. He certainly did, and he swam very well to get to the | 0:31:59 | 0:32:04 | |
final. He did his best time by a long way. But everybody now waiting | 0:32:04 | 0:32:10 | |
for the maestro, the greatest swimmer in history. He has got 14 | 0:32:10 | 0:32:16 | |
Olympic gold medals and two bronze medals. No silvers yet. I wonder | 0:32:16 | 0:32:26 | |
0:32:26 | 0:32:26 | ||
whether this will be his first silver medal. That was his mother. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:31 | |
So, Michael Phelps, in lane eight, qualified by just seven hundredths | 0:32:31 | 0:32:41 | |
0:32:41 | 0:32:45 | ||
of a second. This is one of the most anticipated finals of Olympic | 0:32:46 | 0:32:52 | |
swimming, and we're getting it first race up tonight. It is | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
probably one of the most anticipated races in Olympic | 0:32:54 | 0:33:00 | |
history in the swimming pool. We expected these two to be in it, but | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
we did not expect one of them to be in lane three, and the other one to | 0:33:03 | 0:33:13 | |
0:33:13 | 0:33:20 | ||
Probably the best start in lane five, Chad le Clos, the | 0:33:20 | 0:33:27 | |
Commonwealth champion in this event. But Michael Phelps is the world | 0:33:27 | 0:33:32 | |
record holder in the 200 Fly. but Ryan Lochte got a fantastic | 0:33:32 | 0:33:40 | |
start, taking it by the scruff of the neck. Look at that, Lochte has | 0:33:40 | 0:33:47 | |
got the best kick under water, Phelps looked a bit sluggish. This | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
could be very interesting before going into the backstroke, because | 0:33:50 | 0:33:55 | |
the backstroke is Ryan Lochte's best. Gold-medallist in the Olympic | 0:33:55 | 0:34:04 | |
Games. World champion at 200m as well. Look at this! First to turn, | 0:34:04 | 0:34:09 | |
Ryan Lochte. Second, Michael Phelps. As expected, it has started already, | 0:34:09 | 0:34:16 | |
and it is a head-to-head. This is where I think Ryan Lochte is going | 0:34:16 | 0:34:22 | |
to try to make a move. At the moment, you would think Lochte | 0:34:22 | 0:34:28 | |
looks to be the strongest. Phelps is a big race there, and I don't | 0:34:28 | 0:34:36 | |
think he will like being away in lane eight. He does not want to | 0:34:36 | 0:34:42 | |
have a lot to do towards the end. What a great turn from Lochte. Are | 0:34:42 | 0:34:46 | |
we seeing a new king in the pool? Ryan Lochte is looking pretty | 0:34:46 | 0:34:51 | |
dominant at this point. Phelps looks a bit grumpy right at the | 0:34:51 | 0:35:01 | |
0:35:01 | 0:35:03 | ||
bottom. A beautiful backstroke from Lochte, very smoke. Just outside | 0:35:03 | 0:35:11 | |
world record time. The halfway mark in this final of the Men's 400m | 0:35:11 | 0:35:17 | |
Individual Medley. Ryan Lochte has got a really big lead now. Phelps | 0:35:17 | 0:35:26 | |
looks to be in trouble here. It is not materialising for him. The 17- | 0:35:26 | 0:35:33 | |
year-old, Kosuke Hagino, is battling for the silver medal, | 0:35:33 | 0:35:42 | |
along with Phelps. Michael Phelps might not even get a medal here. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:48 | |
The green signals that Ryan Lochte is having the swim of his life. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:55 | |
has taken more time out of that world record split time there. This | 0:35:55 | 0:35:59 | |
will be fascinating. Could we see Michael Phelps, the best medley | 0:35:59 | 0:36:04 | |
swimmer of all time, losing his world record? He has already lost | 0:36:04 | 0:36:09 | |
it last year in the 200m, but will he be losing it tonight in the 400? | 0:36:10 | 0:36:16 | |
Ryan Lochte is leading by miles. A big glide into the wall. Michael | 0:36:16 | 0:36:21 | |
Phelps is only fourth at the moment, there on the bottom. We saw Thiago | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
Pereira taking a look over, and that will have boosted his | 0:36:25 | 0:36:30 | |
confidence no end, to see himself in the silver-medal position. Ryan | 0:36:30 | 0:36:34 | |
Lochte, on world record pace. We have spoken about taking over the | 0:36:34 | 0:36:39 | |
mantle of Michael Phelps, but they are the same age, you know. Ryan | 0:36:39 | 0:36:43 | |
Lochte has dominated from start to finish here. Nobody will catch him | 0:36:43 | 0:36:48 | |
now, it is all about the world record, and I really hope the crowd | 0:36:48 | 0:36:55 | |
lift the roof for this. The crowd is going nuts, not only because | 0:36:55 | 0:37:00 | |
this gentleman is going to become a new Olympic champions in the Men's | 0:37:00 | 0:37:03 | |
400m Individual Medley, which is brilliant... You can see Michelle | 0:37:03 | 0:37:09 | |
Obama, cheering on Ryan Lochte. Who would have thought it? Right at the | 0:37:09 | 0:37:14 | |
bottom, Michael Phelps might not be going to get a medal... Second, it | 0:37:14 | 0:37:21 | |
was Thiago Pereira, and third, from Japan, Kosuke Hagino. Look at that. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:28 | |
Michael Phelps is fourth! Unbelievable! Kosuke Hagino gets | 0:37:28 | 0:37:32 | |
the bronze medal. I cannot believe Michael Phelps has got fourth. But | 0:37:32 | 0:37:37 | |
let's gave it to this guy, the new Olympic champion in the Men's 400m | 0:37:37 | 0:37:42 | |
Individual Medley. He is the world champion, and now, he is the | 0:37:42 | 0:37:47 | |
Olympic champion, and he won it by miles. Ryan Lochte, Olympic | 0:37:47 | 0:37:56 | |
champion. Killer start. Fantastic race. Lochte went for it from the | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
very beginning, he dominated on every stroke. He stayed underwater | 0:38:00 | 0:38:04 | |
a lot longer than the rest of the field. I think we knew Phelps was | 0:38:04 | 0:38:08 | |
in trouble at the end of the Fly. He should have been leading after | 0:38:08 | 0:38:16 | |
the Fly. It was only going to go one way on the backstroke. Well, it | 0:38:16 | 0:38:22 | |
was, but I did not expect him to go quite that slow. He was not quite | 0:38:22 | 0:38:27 | |
as flat as normal on the backstroke, but this guy was. Look at that! | 0:38:27 | 0:38:33 | |
That is not how to finish! A big old Clyde! But he is Olympic | 0:38:33 | 0:38:39 | |
champion! That the worried face of Michael Phelps. Eight gold medals | 0:38:39 | 0:38:49 | |
0:38:49 | 0:38:49 | ||
in eight days in China. I think a lot of the gliding was related to | 0:38:49 | 0:38:59 | |
0:38:59 | 0:39:11 | ||
fatigue. So, Ryan Lochte is Olympic the crowd, in particular the | 0:39:11 | 0:39:16 | |
Americans in here to support him tonight. That is the Americans' | 0:39:16 | 0:39:22 | |
first gold medal of these Games. He is the coolest guy, he behaves as | 0:39:22 | 0:39:26 | |
if nothing would ever bother him, and he gets into the pool and swims | 0:39:26 | 0:39:32 | |
like that, it was sensational. morning, it looked like Michael | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
Phelps was cruising, but he obviously gave it more than he had | 0:39:35 | 0:39:41 | |
thought. He is with Sharron Davies now. Many congratulations, this is | 0:39:41 | 0:39:48 | |
your moment to shine, Ryan Lochte. I guess. Four years is a long time | 0:39:48 | 0:39:55 | |
working for it. So, I put the work in. I know it is my time. Is this | 0:39:55 | 0:40:02 | |
the start of a serious quest? It is going to be your show? I sure hope | 0:40:02 | 0:40:07 | |
so. I am just going out and having fun, doing what I do best, racing. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:14 | |
Many congratulations. Did you like our crowd? Oh, yes, I liked it a | 0:40:14 | 0:40:21 | |
lot. And he could win a possible six medals, depending on how many | 0:40:21 | 0:40:29 | |
relays he enters. Yes, he probably will not do the 4x100 medley. But | 0:40:29 | 0:40:39 | |
he has got plenty to go for. He looks in great shape. We have got | 0:40:39 | 0:40:44 | |
two women's semi-finals coming up in the Women's 100m Butterfly. This | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
is the first one coming up, containing the world record holder, | 0:40:47 | 0:40:51 | |
Sarah Sjostrom, of Sweden. She is up against Fran Halsall of Great | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
Britain, who's very much a fast sprinter. Our other British | 0:40:56 | 0:41:06 | |
0:41:06 | 0:41:09 | ||
sprinter, in the other semi-final, has more stamina. There are in the | 0:41:09 | 0:41:13 | |
semi-finals, the top eight altogether go to the final. Let's | 0:41:13 | 0:41:20 | |
just get them into the final. can hand you back to Andy now. Fran | 0:41:20 | 0:41:30 | |
0:41:30 | 0:41:34 | ||
Halsall will be the next swimmer to come out. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:43 | |
Here's Fran Halsall. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Fran Halsall, | 0:41:43 | 0:41:47 | |
massive ovation from the crowd, she will be in lane six. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:53 | |
Right next to her, the Swedish swimmer. Also just gone through, | 0:41:53 | 0:41:59 | |
the world champion on the 100 Freestyle, Herasimenia. And then | 0:41:59 | 0:42:07 | |
Savard of Canada in lane eight. Let's just make it clear - two | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
Chinese, fastest and third fastest, but we have got Sarah Sjostrom in | 0:42:11 | 0:42:19 | |
lane five, and Fran Halsall in lane six. Here's world record holder, | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
18-year-old Sarah Sjostrom, who broke the world record when she was | 0:42:22 | 0:42:29 | |
16. Fran Halsall of Great Britain, a pure sprinter. I would love to | 0:42:29 | 0:42:36 | |
see her make this final. The first semi-final of the Women's 100m | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
Butterfly, and a beautiful stuck under water for the world record- | 0:42:40 | 0:42:45 | |
holder from Sweden, Sarah Sjostrom. Interestingly, quite a slow leg | 0:42:45 | 0:42:52 | |
kick there. The Chinese swimmer, she got a good quarter of a metre | 0:42:52 | 0:42:57 | |
on Sarah Sjostrom, so I think that was not such a great start. Doing | 0:42:57 | 0:43:01 | |
enough in the moment, for the first 50. This is all about a good turn. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:08 | |
Big kick. Those kicks were not fast enough, and she has been left | 0:43:08 | 0:43:15 | |
behind. Sarah Sjostrom coming back now. When Sarah Sjostrom said the | 0:43:15 | 0:43:21 | |
world record, she came back ridiculously fast. She has already | 0:43:21 | 0:43:25 | |
gone into first position, in the yellow hat. Fran Halsall going | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
reasonably well, but starting to tire. Five metres to go. Sarah | 0:43:29 | 0:43:36 | |
Sjostrom takes it. I could tell you that Fran Halsall has finished in | 0:43:36 | 0:43:41 | |
seventh position. I think that's not going to be good enough for the | 0:43:41 | 0:43:45 | |
final. The other semi-final still to come, but that might not be good | 0:43:45 | 0:43:50 | |
enough. I am pretty sure that will not be good enough, unfortunately, | 0:43:50 | 0:44:00 | |
0:44:00 | 0:44:00 | ||
for Fran Halsall. If I was her coach, Sarah Sjostrom's coach, she | 0:44:00 | 0:44:08 | |
could get another half the second on the turns, easily. But that was | 0:44:08 | 0:44:13 | |
really good spotting at the finish. She did that beautifully, changing | 0:44:13 | 0:44:17 | |
her stroke about 10 metres out, to get that finish correct. One thing | 0:44:17 | 0:44:24 | |
she did right, Adrian! She is fast, though! So, not a particularly | 0:44:24 | 0:44:34 | |
0:44:34 | 0:44:36 | ||
impressive time in that first semi- final. Interesting, not as fast as | 0:44:36 | 0:44:40 | |
I thought it would be. So, basically, if the second semi-final | 0:44:40 | 0:44:45 | |
goes under 58, you're going to be in the final. Only two women under | 0:44:46 | 0:44:50 | |
58 seconds - extraordinary. What an opportunity for these ladies, in | 0:44:50 | 0:45:00 | |
0:45:00 | 0:45:33 | ||
Ellen Gandy and Lane and two. - macro in lane number two. She has | 0:45:33 | 0:45:43 | |
0:45:43 | 0:45:44 | ||
taken her headphones off to listen to that. The crowd were fantastic. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:49 | |
Sometimes you can't hear it with our headphones on. Every hundredth | 0:45:49 | 0:45:55 | |
of a second counts. Here is the world champion. She set a new | 0:45:55 | 0:46:01 | |
American record and a new Olympic record in the heats. The world | 0:46:01 | 0:46:11 | |
0:46:11 | 0:46:30 | ||
Kentucky University. They have a brutal qualification. The first two | 0:46:30 | 0:46:39 | |
go, and that is it. If you are sick, tough. And the group will be in | 0:46:39 | 0:46:45 | |
lane eight. So Adrian, Ellen Gandy and Len two. Not really a | 0:46:45 | 0:46:49 | |
specialist, although she broke the record in her qualification in the | 0:46:49 | 0:46:55 | |
trials. Interesting to see how she does here. I hope she goes through | 0:46:55 | 0:46:59 | |
her best time. This is the moment to do it. It is the Olympic semi- | 0:46:59 | 0:47:04 | |
final. She is in the outside lane. She has got to deliver her best | 0:47:04 | 0:47:14 | |
0:47:14 | 0:47:18 | ||
time. I think Dana Vollmer or is going for a good time here. She is | 0:47:18 | 0:47:27 | |
taking it very seriously. second semi-final of the women's | 0:47:27 | 0:47:34 | |
100m butterfly. A very good start in lane three. That is the Danish | 0:47:34 | 0:47:43 | |
swimmer. Dana Vollmer has got a decent start. Ellen Gandy is a bit | 0:47:43 | 0:47:50 | |
off the pace. She needs to pull back. Dana Vollmer is looking | 0:47:50 | 0:47:57 | |
ominous now. She is under her world record by nearly a second. This is | 0:47:57 | 0:48:07 | |
0:48:07 | 0:48:08 | ||
incredible. The two Americans are going pretty well. Dana Vollmer or | 0:48:08 | 0:48:17 | |
his swimming away. This is impressive. Ago that line. That is | 0:48:17 | 0:48:24 | |
the time Dana Vollmer is looking for. She just missed it the finish. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:28 | |
We saw Sarah Sjostrom in that first semi-final could just perfectly on | 0:48:28 | 0:48:32 | |
the finish. That was not quite right, but still enormously | 0:48:32 | 0:48:42 | |
0:48:42 | 0:48:45 | ||
impressive. Absolutely. She will qualify for the final by a second. | 0:48:46 | 0:48:49 | |
Ellen Gandy finished in fifth position, which is not normally | 0:48:49 | 0:48:59 | |
great, but she will finish in the final. 57.66. We have a computer | 0:48:59 | 0:49:03 | |
next to us. We keep checking it, because we are keen for the Prince | 0:49:03 | 0:49:08 | |
to make it through to the final. Ellen Gandy will have made the | 0:49:08 | 0:49:18 | |
0:49:18 | 0:49:18 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds | 0:49:18 | 0:50:11 | |
Fantastic for Ellen Gandy, and appropriate because in 2004, when | 0:50:11 | 0:50:15 | |
she was 12 and living in Kent, she is now based in Australia, she was | 0:50:15 | 0:50:19 | |
part of the back the big poster, so she has been involved all the wear | 0:50:19 | 0:50:23 | |
long. Let's hear from her. We we just hearing about your back | 0:50:23 | 0:50:29 | |
the bid poster. Remember that? when I was 12. It is mad to think I | 0:50:29 | 0:50:35 | |
am here now. And you are in the final. My time was not great and I | 0:50:35 | 0:50:40 | |
swallowed a bit of water, but I am happy to be in the final. It is my | 0:50:40 | 0:50:44 | |
first Olympic final. I saw you take your headphones off so you could | 0:50:44 | 0:50:48 | |
soak up every sound in the stadium. Exactly. This morning I did not | 0:50:48 | 0:50:51 | |
want to be overwhelmed by the crowd, but it was amazing tonight and I | 0:50:51 | 0:50:57 | |
was glad I could feel the war of the crowd. Do you have a plan for | 0:50:57 | 0:51:04 | |
the time you are looking at, or is it a move towards the 200? It is | 0:51:04 | 0:51:08 | |
focusing on the 200, but it is a bonus to get in the final. Everyone | 0:51:08 | 0:51:14 | |
has a shot in the final, so I am looking forward to it. Good luck. | 0:51:14 | 0:51:18 | |
Three swimmers are making their way out now for the final of the men's | 0:51:18 | 0:51:22 | |
400m freestyle. This features the defending champion. We thought he | 0:51:22 | 0:51:26 | |
might have got disqualified this morning in the heats. When we look | 0:51:26 | 0:51:30 | |
at the replays, Mark could not see why. And eventually, neither could | 0:51:30 | 0:51:34 | |
the stewards. There was a long inquiry. David Carry makes the | 0:51:34 | 0:51:39 | |
final at the age of 30. He tweeted this afternoon, "This is my | 0:51:39 | 0:51:49 | |
0:51:49 | 0:52:03 | ||
ultimate dream". Les rejoin Adrian record. He is extraordinary. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:08 | |
Looking really mean. Adrian, do you think he will go that quick? He is | 0:52:08 | 0:52:18 | |
a tough one. He has an awesome world record. You're talking about | 0:52:18 | 0:52:28 | |
0:52:28 | 0:52:37 | ||
Korean. Is the defending Olympic champion. He is the world champion | 0:52:37 | 0:52:42 | |
in this 400m freestyle. Parkour was disqualified this morning after the | 0:52:42 | 0:52:47 | |
heats. Twitched on the blocks. A massive hoover up. In the end, he | 0:52:47 | 0:52:52 | |
was reinstated, which I have never heard of. He twitched on the blocks, | 0:52:52 | 0:52:58 | |
and the rule is fuzzy at best. He has been reinstated. Brilliant to | 0:52:58 | 0:53:06 | |
see David Carry qualified. Massive ovation. Wonderful to see a full | 0:53:06 | 0:53:13 | |
crowd here. He did not qualify at the trials. He had to go to the | 0:53:13 | 0:53:18 | |
trials. He qualified in Sheffield. Now he is in the final of the | 0:53:18 | 0:53:22 | |
Olympic Games. This is awesome. He has never made an individual final. | 0:53:22 | 0:53:32 | |
0:53:32 | 0:53:37 | ||
It is almost like he has got nothing to lose. Park is coached in | 0:53:37 | 0:53:45 | |
Brisbane by the same coach as the swim her in lane one. Australia is | 0:53:45 | 0:53:51 | |
where you need to be. Hopefully, David Carry, in the red cap nearest | 0:53:52 | 0:54:01 | |
to us, will rise to this wonderful opportunity. The final of the men's | 0:54:01 | 0:54:09 | |
400m freestyle. Yang Sun of China is in lane number four. He is not | 0:54:09 | 0:54:14 | |
the greatest tactician. The greatest tactician is Park of Korea | 0:54:14 | 0:54:19 | |
in lane six. He is going out already. I wonder whether Son has | 0:54:19 | 0:54:24 | |
been told, just stick with Park. That has to be the best tactic. | 0:54:24 | 0:54:34 | |
0:54:34 | 0:54:40 | ||
Quite a good line. Parke did this before to Yang Sun. I come with you. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:50 | |
0:54:50 | 0:55:01 | ||
I think the coach... Park is from South Korea, by the way. Sun has | 0:55:01 | 0:55:06 | |
got a wily coach in Dennis Cotterill. He trains in Miami. | 0:55:06 | 0:55:14 | |
Knows all about distance freestyle battles and tactics. Energy, pacing. | 0:55:14 | 0:55:24 | |
0:55:24 | 0:55:28 | ||
This is a great one. Closer to us is Park of Korea. He is a 200 and | 0:55:29 | 0:55:38 | |
0:55:39 | 0:55:39 | ||
400 man. So expect Yang Sun to come back harder. I think at mic Park is | 0:55:39 | 0:55:42 | |
trying to take it harder and see if he can get rid of the sprint of | 0:55:42 | 0:55:52 | |
0:55:52 | 0:55:57 | ||
Yang Sun. This is quite dangerous for Park. 200m, halfway. And so, | 0:55:57 | 0:56:01 | |
three tenths of a second splitting the first two here in this final of | 0:56:01 | 0:56:10 | |
the men's 400m freestyle. Closer to us, Park of Korea. Yang Sun is now | 0:56:10 | 0:56:15 | |
starting to make a move. The world record may now be on. It is held by | 0:56:15 | 0:56:21 | |
a German who did not qualify for this final. It was three tenths of | 0:56:21 | 0:56:25 | |
a second at the halfway point, now it is three hundreds of a second. | 0:56:25 | 0:56:30 | |
This is the head-to-head battle we were expecting in the 400 medley. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:37 | |
We are seeing it in the 400 freak. This is fantastic to watch. David | 0:56:37 | 0:56:46 | |
Carry is down at the bottom of the pool in eighth position. Park has | 0:56:46 | 0:56:54 | |
done all the work. I have no idea what is going to happen with this | 0:56:54 | 0:57:04 | |
0:57:04 | 0:57:07 | ||
one. Yang Sun is going now. David Carry is really going well. But it | 0:57:07 | 0:57:13 | |
looks like Yang Sun is completely nuts on this last 100. He broke the | 0:57:13 | 0:57:19 | |
world record on the 1500m freestyle. Come on, let's see if he can go | 0:57:19 | 0:57:24 | |
under three minutes 40, the world record held by the German. It looks | 0:57:24 | 0:57:28 | |
like he will take this gold medal, but is he going to take the world | 0:57:28 | 0:57:34 | |
record? Ne Chinese man has ever won gold in the swimming pool. Sun is | 0:57:34 | 0:57:44 | |
0:57:44 | 0:57:47 | ||
streaking away here. His brilliant. Oh, no! He glided in. He is happy | 0:57:47 | 0:57:55 | |
because he has won the gold, but he had the world record. Doctors and | 0:57:55 | 0:58:05 | |
Yang, silver to Park. Great Britain's David Carry finished with | 0:58:05 | 0:58:12 | |
3.48 0.6. That was fantastic. The emotion that came out of Yang Sun | 0:58:12 | 0:58:15 | |
when he won, I get what you are saying about him having the world | 0:58:15 | 0:58:19 | |
record in the palm of his hands, but he will get the gold medal | 0:58:19 | 0:58:26 | |
around his neck, and that is what it means to that guy. I know he has | 0:58:26 | 0:58:32 | |
been training for that 1500 free. This was the rivalry. That was | 0:58:32 | 0:58:38 | |
awesome. I am pleased you didn't say, come on, my son, by the way. I | 0:58:38 | 0:58:46 | |
thought you were going to say it. was trying not to say that. He so | 0:58:46 | 0:58:51 | |
nearly had it. He has taken Ian Thorpe's Olympic record. It means a | 0:58:51 | 0:58:59 | |
lot. Did he care about the world record? No. I have to say I am | 0:58:59 | 0:59:05 | |
pleased, because life moves on. He swung so well. Given the fact that | 0:59:06 | 0:59:15 | |
0:59:16 | 0:59:19 | ||
he was so quick, I really hoped he would break the world record. I | 0:59:19 | 0:59:24 | |
don't think we can hear Ian Thorpe at the moment, but what a swim. Ian | 0:59:24 | 0:59:28 | |
Thorpe's Olympic record goes, and the first Chinese man to win the | 0:59:28 | 0:59:37 | |
gold medal in this swimming pool is Yang Sun of China. Parc des the | 0:59:37 | 0:59:47 | |
0:59:47 | 0:59:50 | ||
silver. And they really gutsy swim Ian Thorpe. The guys were pleased | 0:59:50 | 0:59:59 | |
you lost it, but I am sure you were When you break a record, it is | 0:59:59 | 1:00:03 | |
there for a period of time. You are a custodian of it. This is the | 1:00:03 | 1:00:07 | |
first time I've thought I would see someone go this time, he came close | 1:00:07 | 1:00:12 | |
to going it, which is what I would like to have seen. It is fantastic | 1:00:12 | 1:00:15 | |
that Park was included in the final tonight. I think they made the | 1:00:15 | 1:00:19 | |
right decision around this. I have watched this tape 12 times. There | 1:00:20 | 1:00:25 | |
is no movement at the start of the race. Without Park win the race, I | 1:00:25 | 1:00:28 | |
don't think Sun Yang would have had the satisfaction of the victory | 1:00:28 | 1:00:32 | |
without the defending it -- defending Olympic champion. I must | 1:00:32 | 1:00:35 | |
talk you about Ryan Lochte, that was quite a performance from him? | 1:00:35 | 1:00:41 | |
It really was. Going through that race, watching him, he was strong. | 1:00:41 | 1:00:45 | |
The only critique I have, it is small, he was a bit short on the | 1:00:45 | 1:00:51 | |
freestyle. The length of his arms? The length of the stroke, the | 1:00:51 | 1:00:54 | |
recovery was short. Born world record pace the whole way through | 1:00:54 | 1:00:58 | |
that race, you see how dominant Michael was when he said that world | 1:00:58 | 1:01:06 | |
record. He flew through that last 50 metres. It was a second ahead. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:09 | |
What does that mean for Michael Phelps? He looked a long way off | 1:01:09 | 1:01:14 | |
his best. For Michael, I think I have said from the start, I felt | 1:01:14 | 1:01:18 | |
that Ryan Lochte would be stronger in this race. I think what -- I | 1:01:18 | 1:01:21 | |
think Michael will do better in the shorter races at this event and it | 1:01:21 | 1:01:26 | |
suits the training he has been doing. We shall see, when he | 1:01:26 | 1:01:30 | |
performs at his next race. Let's go back to the Aquatics Centre with | 1:01:30 | 1:01:35 | |
Clare and Mark. Thank you, building up to the first | 1:01:35 | 1:01:39 | |
medal ceremony, Michael Phelps not in the medals. Ryan Lochte will | 1:01:39 | 1:01:43 | |
come out to take his gold medal and a huge moment for him because cool | 1:01:43 | 1:01:49 | |
as he seems, Mark, you have to be in -- intoxicated by the emotion of | 1:01:49 | 1:01:56 | |
this? It was huge. He knew what he could do, but The Bottom Line is, | 1:01:56 | 1:02:02 | |
it is of bulbs, Phelps, Phelps. He has not done the event for three | 1:02:02 | 1:02:05 | |
years. On the shorter events he might do better. He is the new king, | 1:02:05 | 1:02:10 | |
he has taken over. For some, it is about winning a medal, for others | 1:02:10 | 1:02:14 | |
is is about getting to the final. For David Carry, that is the major | 1:02:14 | 1:02:21 | |
achievement of today. Let's hear his reaction, he finished 7th. | 1:02:21 | 1:02:25 | |
Sharron Davies you can say you were a finalist at the Olympic Games. | 1:02:25 | 1:02:31 | |
can't believe it, I set myself that challenge and there were some rocky | 1:02:32 | 1:02:37 | |
patches along the way and I am delighted with the way I was able | 1:02:37 | 1:02:41 | |
to back up tonight. I knew it would be tough, a huge amount of effort | 1:02:41 | 1:02:45 | |
to make the final. To do that again tonight, to race against the best | 1:02:45 | 1:02:49 | |
and the world, to have awesome support behind me, it was a real | 1:02:49 | 1:02:53 | |
dream. You will not have seen it because you was winning but he | 1:02:53 | 1:02:56 | |
floated to the wall. Have you touched the wall properly, you | 1:02:56 | 1:03:00 | |
would have broken the world record. A lot of people say it is an | 1:03:00 | 1:03:05 | |
individual sport, it is not. I had a team of 100 people helping me to | 1:03:05 | 1:03:10 | |
get to that podium tonight. All the way from mum and dad, who have been | 1:03:10 | 1:03:13 | |
incredibly inspirational for me come all the way to my coach, my | 1:03:13 | 1:03:18 | |
physio, lee Harrington, who got me back into shape. It has be an | 1:03:18 | 1:03:24 | |
awesome -- it has been an awesome journey. What happens now? Really, | 1:03:24 | 1:03:31 | |
we have five guys vying 4-4 spots in the 200 metres freestyle, I | 1:03:31 | 1:03:36 | |
think on Tuesday. From now won it is about that relay. We will let | 1:03:36 | 1:03:42 | |
you have a swim down. Thank you very much. Thank you. Sharon | 1:03:42 | 1:03:46 | |
talking about this for him down, there are two 50-metre pools here. | 1:03:46 | 1:03:51 | |
The other is below was. When the competition starts, it can go on 4- | 1:03:51 | 1:03:54 | |
2 hours, some of the swimmers cannot warm-up at the beginning | 1:03:54 | 1:03:58 | |
because two hours later they will not still be warm, so they can go | 1:03:58 | 1:04:02 | |
under while the competition is on and do their race later. Going back | 1:04:02 | 1:04:05 | |
to David Carry, one of the people who has been part of his motivation | 1:04:05 | 1:04:10 | |
for the London Games is his fiancee, Keri-Anne Payne. They get married | 1:04:10 | 1:04:14 | |
in September in Aberdeen. She is supporting him, along with the rest | 1:04:14 | 1:04:19 | |
of the British team. Let's enjoy the first medal ceremony was Ryan | 1:04:19 | 1:04:23 | |
Lochte team looking like he does not know what to do. -- with Ryan | 1:04:23 | 1:04:33 | |

Lochte looking like he does not The presentation party, the IOC | 1:04:35 | 1:04:40 | |
member for Peru, presenting the medals to the men in this 400 | 1:04:40 | 1:04:50 | |
1:04:50 | 1:04:51 | ||
There is the support team for the medal ceremony. I have not quite | 1:04:51 | 1:04:55 | |
worked out why they had supporters, but anyway, they can present the | 1:04:55 | 1:05:02 | |
flowers. What a proud moment this is for the 17-year-old from Japan. | 1:05:02 | 1:05:06 | |
The biggest he has done before this is the world youth championships, | 1:05:06 | 1:05:10 | |
where he got a bronze medal in the 400 metres medley. Now it is a | 1:05:10 | 1:05:18 | |
bronze medal at the Olympic Games. A new Japanese record, only the 7th | 1:05:18 | 1:05:23 | |
man in history to go under four minutes and ten seconds and he went | 1:05:23 | 1:05:29 | |
for minutes and eight seconds. A massive shock. He just can't | 1:05:29 | 1:05:33 | |
believe it. I bet he was utterly delighted just to make the final, | 1:05:33 | 1:05:40 | |
but to get a medal and beat Michael Phelps. It is a humbling moment, | 1:05:40 | 1:05:50 | |
1:05:50 | 1:05:58 | ||
isn't it? An interesting bunch of A fantastic bronze medal. Another | 1:05:58 | 1:06:06 | |
shock, a big surprise, a silver medal to the Brazilian. It is a | 1:06:06 | 1:06:16 | |
1:06:16 | 1:06:19 | ||
very good time indeed. He swam really tough, really tough. A good | 1:06:19 | 1:06:23 | |
solid flies winner but brought it all the way back through, | 1:06:24 | 1:06:33 | |
backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. He was 4th at the World | 1:06:33 | 1:06:39 | |
Championships in Rome. That was three years ago. Now he is the | 1:06:39 | 1:06:42 | |
Olympic silver medallist. Well, we have been waiting for it a long | 1:06:42 | 1:06:48 | |
time. How well will this gentleman do? He has been on the front cover | 1:06:48 | 1:06:53 | |
of American magazines. There was going to be a massive head to head, | 1:06:53 | 1:06:56 | |
no one knew he would take it between Ryan Lochte and Michael | 1:06:56 | 1:07:02 | |
Phelps. And Ryan Lochte comes up victorious. Olympic champion, men's | 1:07:02 | 1:07:08 | |
400 metres individual medley. His first of seven races here in London | 1:07:08 | 1:07:16 | |
traded of Olympic Games. His first race is gold. I think this is going | 1:07:16 | 1:07:21 | |
to be there becoming of this man, or Ryan Lochte of the USA. | 1:07:21 | 1:07:27 | |
mentioned before, the same age as Michael Phelps, just coming later. | 1:07:27 | 1:07:32 | |
Ryan Lochte has talked about Rio. He wants to challenge some of | 1:07:32 | 1:07:35 | |
Michael Phelps' record. That will be interesting. He is starting | 1:07:35 | 1:07:45 | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds | 1:07:45 | 1:09:20 | |
The Olympic champion, Ryan Lochte The bronze, I am not sure he can | 1:09:20 | 1:09:30 | |
1:09:30 | 1:09:35 | ||
major shock of that race, Michael Phelps not on the podium. He | 1:09:35 | 1:09:39 | |
finished 4th. The swimmers are conserving emotional energy, that | 1:09:39 | 1:09:43 | |
is why Ryan Lochte is not hollering, but you can see how much it means | 1:09:43 | 1:09:49 | |
to him. USA's first gold medal is on the board. Great Britain are | 1:09:49 | 1:09:52 | |
looking for first medal of this Games after the disappointment of | 1:09:52 | 1:09:56 | |
the road race earlier. It falls to Henna -- to Hannah Miley, coming up | 1:09:56 | 1:10:02 | |
next. She is a girl who is trained by her father, Patrick, in a pool | 1:10:03 | 1:10:08 | |
north of Aberdeen that is only 25 metres long with four lanes. At the | 1:10:08 | 1:10:17 | |
That is what we talk about, a lot of the best train -- the best | 1:10:17 | 1:10:22 | |
swimmers have come out of the worst training facilities. I used to | 1:10:22 | 1:10:26 | |
train in a pool where I scraped my fingers along the bottom. As long | 1:10:26 | 1:10:29 | |
as you have water and a great coach and training partners, you can do | 1:10:30 | 1:10:35 | |
anything. She said, my dad works for me. Frankly, he could train me | 1:10:35 | 1:10:42 | |
in a puddle. I thought that was a great big -- great visual image. He | 1:10:42 | 1:10:46 | |
released it is her rival swimmers, so he knows the strengths and it | 1:10:46 | 1:10:49 | |
will be an interesting race this, because they have different strokes | 1:10:49 | 1:10:54 | |
they are good at. One of the interesting things, like a football | 1:10:54 | 1:10:57 | |
manager, he will look at the other team and analyse strengths and | 1:10:57 | 1:11:03 | |
weaknesses. She will know the two girls next to her, she stays behind | 1:11:03 | 1:11:08 | |
does Hannah Miley, she comes back on the best stroke. Elizabeth | 1:11:08 | 1:11:14 | |
Beisel has a great backstroke. Hannah Miley's breaststroke is | 1:11:14 | 1:11:21 | |
particularly good. Caitlin Leverenz has a good breaststroke as well. | 1:11:21 | 1:11:26 | |
Hannah Miley was the nearly Gul, 4th, six, then she suddenly came | 1:11:26 | 1:11:31 | |
through. Her breakthrough year lost 2010. How much confidence has she | 1:11:31 | 1:11:35 | |
got from that? Do you see somebody in Hannah Miley who believes she | 1:11:35 | 1:11:40 | |
can win a medal? Yes, definitely. We saw her that the world | 1:11:40 | 1:11:42 | |
championships last year, she is European champion and Commonwealth | 1:11:42 | 1:11:47 | |
champion. She has one big events. Second at the World Championships. | 1:11:47 | 1:11:53 | |
Elizabeth Beisel has a tough task. There is only three seconds | 1:11:53 | 1:11:56 | |
separating all of them. Getting there, race hard, she looks a race. | 1:11:56 | 1:12:00 | |
This could be the perfect race Firth of. It was interesting when | 1:12:00 | 1:12:05 | |
Sharron Davies interview did her, she was coached by her father in | 1:12:06 | 1:12:11 | |
this event, in 1980 she won at the Moscow Games, she said, what is the | 1:12:11 | 1:12:17 | |
last thing your dad says to you and he says, I love you. We all went, | 1:12:17 | 1:12:23 | |
oh, it is just an immense moment for the this. For Patrick Miley and | 1:12:23 | 1:12:31 | |
Paul Hannah Miley. And for her mum and brothers. This has to be so | 1:12:31 | 1:12:34 | |
special and the crowd will be hugely behind her. I know, Sharron | 1:12:34 | 1:12:39 | |
Davies, you will as well. Absolutely, I am really nervous for | 1:12:39 | 1:12:42 | |
her. She will thrive on this excitement and the noise when she | 1:12:42 | 1:12:46 | |
comes out. There has been publicity about her, she is a lovely person. | 1:12:46 | 1:12:52 | |
You cannot fail to love her. She is gutsy. She will give 110%. | 1:12:52 | 1:12:57 | |
training, she swims 28 hours a week and if you saw the peace earlier | 1:12:57 | 1:13:02 | |
she knows -- you will know she does pilates and rock climbing. Ryan | 1:13:02 | 1:13:06 | |
Lochte, part of his training was dragging tyres. You need to people | 1:13:06 | 1:13:10 | |
-- you need to keep people interested with her fitness work. | 1:13:10 | 1:13:14 | |
There is a lot of cross-training these days. You need strength and | 1:13:14 | 1:13:17 | |
conditioning in the gym. Different ways to keep your mind interested | 1:13:17 | 1:13:21 | |
and get Games in different areas. Rock-climbing is great for upper- | 1:13:21 | 1:13:26 | |
body strength and in the water, there is shoulders work, so that | 1:13:26 | 1:13:30 | |
will help immensely. It is fun, you need to make training fund. | 1:13:30 | 1:13:33 | |
will notice when the swimmers walkout to the divvied -- the | 1:13:34 | 1:13:38 | |
difference in the physical build of them. Hannah Miley is tiny, five | 1:13:38 | 1:13:42 | |
foot five inches. She weighs eight stone. When they did the photograph, | 1:13:42 | 1:13:52 | |
1:13:52 | 1:13:52 | ||
she was in height order, right at is a hugely energetic and happy | 1:13:52 | 1:13:58 | |
person as well. We wish her well. Let's rejoin and it. | 1:13:58 | 1:14:03 | |
The Olympic champion, the defending champion, Stephanie Rice of | 1:14:03 | 1:14:08 | |
Australia, in lane one. She has had shoulder injuries and it is tough | 1:14:08 | 1:14:13 | |
does win a good Ledley with shoulder injuries. She has come | 1:14:13 | 1:14:17 | |
back reasonably well. She had a good 100 metres in the heats this | 1:14:17 | 1:14:24 | |
morning but a dangerous lane, nobody watching you. Mareia | 1:14:24 | 1:14:32 | |
Belmonte Garcia in two, the European champion in three. Expect | 1:14:32 | 1:14:36 | |
her to go out pretty quickly. There is Katinka Hosszu. She will be | 1:14:36 | 1:14:41 | |
right next to Elizabeth Beisel. Here she is, from the USA, the | 1:14:41 | 1:14:46 | |
world champion. She was 4th at the Olympic Games four years ago, but | 1:14:46 | 1:14:51 | |
she is the fastest in the world this year. Absolutely, in Beijing, | 1:14:51 | 1:14:55 | |
15 years of age when she got 4th place. She has come to make good | 1:14:55 | 1:14:59 | |
and will have an experience of an Olympics under her belt which is | 1:14:59 | 1:15:05 | |
used for. Stephanie Rice, in lane one, the last Olympics, three gold | 1:15:05 | 1:15:09 | |
medals and three world records, the world swimmer of the year. Michael | 1:15:09 | 1:15:12 | |
Phelps was the male swimmer of the year. She had picked shoulder | 1:15:12 | 1:15:19 | |
problems. You can't write her wrath. This is lane six, Xuanxu Li. Listen | 1:15:19 | 1:15:27 | |
to the ovation for Hannah Miley from Great Britain. It is massive. | 1:15:27 | 1:15:31 | |
It is absolutely massive. Well, if that does not get her going, | 1:15:31 | 1:15:35 | |
nothing will. She is the European champion, the Commonwealth champion, | 1:15:35 | 1:15:39 | |
the British record holder, silver at the World Championship. Can she | 1:15:39 | 1:15:44 | |
win Great Britain's first gold medal of these Olympic Games? She | 1:15:44 | 1:15:51 | |
goes in seven, not a bad lane. Caitlin Leverenz of the USA is in | 1:15:51 | 1:16:01 | |
1:16:01 | 1:16:06 | ||
lane eight. Hannah Miley Swan next the Elizabeth Beisel and Shiwen Ye. | 1:16:06 | 1:16:12 | |
That is Stephanie Rice, we saw her world record. She is looking | 1:16:12 | 1:16:21 | |
nervous. Elizabeth Beisel is ready for action. Hannah Miley slapping | 1:16:21 | 1:16:30 | |
her thighs, getting excited, like us. The final of the women's 400 | 1:16:30 | 1:16:35 | |
metres individual medley, and Hannah Miley, with the red hat, one | 1:16:35 | 1:16:40 | |
from the bottom. Do not worry too much about the first 100, because | 1:16:40 | 1:16:45 | |
she normally does quite slow, against the rest of the field, and | 1:16:45 | 1:16:52 | |
she picks it up on the backstroke. That is how she got her silver | 1:16:52 | 1:17:02 | |
1:17:02 | 1:17:07 | ||
medal in the world championships. She is good at the 200 metres. | 1:17:07 | 1:17:12 | |
is 2.6 seconds down on a Elizabeth Beisel, at the end the previous | 1:17:12 | 1:17:17 | |
race, and she could bottle it back. Stephanie Rice is not doing too | 1:17:17 | 1:17:27 | |
1:17:27 | 1:17:35 | ||
turn his Katinka Hosszu, she is a very good butterfly swimmer. It is | 1:17:35 | 1:17:42 | |
fascinating to see Hannah Miley in seventh place, but in eighth place, | 1:17:42 | 1:17:50 | |
Elizabeth Beisel. That is surprising. The shape of the | 1:17:50 | 1:17:54 | |
swimmers should be a spearhead, Elizabeth Beisel should be further | 1:17:54 | 1:18:00 | |
up. This is very good for Hannah Miley. She is better than Katinka | 1:18:00 | 1:18:06 | |
Hosszu. This could be very interesting. Stephanie Rice in | 1:18:06 | 1:18:16 | |
1:18:16 | 1:18:20 | ||
second place. This will be fantastic, tremendous to see. This | 1:18:20 | 1:18:28 | |
could play into Hannah Miley's hands of a stop yes, Katinka Hosszu | 1:18:28 | 1:18:38 | |
1:18:38 | 1:18:42 | ||
is a very good butterfly swimmer. Going pretty well is Hannah Miley. | 1:18:42 | 1:18:47 | |
A big kick under water. She has turned in sixth place, but the | 1:18:47 | 1:18:52 | |
breaststroke is very good for her. Elizabeth Beisel is leading, | 1:18:52 | 1:18:59 | |
Katinka Hosszu is going with her. In third place, she winded. Hannah | 1:18:59 | 1:19:09 | |
Miley is right there. 2.5 seconds is the deficit from the world | 1:19:09 | 1:19:14 | |
championships last year. Elizabeth Beisel, after a very sluggish | 1:19:14 | 1:19:18 | |
butterfly, it is as though she said, I will save some energy, and push | 1:19:18 | 1:19:28 | |
1:19:28 | 1:19:31 | ||
it through. She is checking on the Chinese, and seeing where Hannah is. | 1:19:31 | 1:19:36 | |
Elizabeth Beisel could slam the door if the rest of the field is | 1:19:36 | 1:19:41 | |
not careful. She is starting to look very good. She has got a | 1:19:41 | 1:19:49 | |
decent freestyler. The Chinese have as well. Hannah Miley is in fourth | 1:19:49 | 1:19:59 | |
1:19:59 | 1:20:02 | ||
place. 100 metres to go. First over, Elizabeth Beisel. Shiwen Ye is | 1:20:02 | 1:20:10 | |
second, Katinka Hosszu is third. is very close between Katinka | 1:20:10 | 1:20:20 | |
1:20:20 | 1:20:26 | ||
Hosszu, Shiwen Ye and Hannah Miley. This is interesting, she when year. | 1:20:26 | 1:20:33 | |
-- Shiwen Ye first stop she did it in about 15 metres. She has just | 1:20:33 | 1:20:40 | |
taken another mater, it is about two metres now, extraordinary. This | 1:20:40 | 1:20:48 | |
is absolutely amazing. Look at the world record. It is Stephanie Rice | 1:20:48 | 1:20:56 | |
Basma Kor record. -- Stephanie Rice's world-record. Utterly | 1:20:56 | 1:21:04 | |
extraordinary, unbelievable. It is a gold medal to China and a new | 1:21:04 | 1:21:14 | |
1:21:14 | 1:21:14 | ||
world record. A brilliant swim. The silver medal goes to Elizabeth | 1:21:15 | 1:21:20 | |
Beisel, the bronze medal has gone to he ran Xu Lin. Hannah Miley | 1:21:20 | 1:21:30 | |
1:21:30 | 1:21:32 | ||
finishes in for the place. -- in fourth place. She was about one | 1:21:32 | 1:21:42 | |
second down. She went 59.72 in the last 100. Just from that point, 75 | 1:21:42 | 1:21:52 | |
1:21:52 | 1:22:12 | ||
metres to go. This is coming into turn. You have got to turn around | 1:22:12 | 1:22:22 | |
1:22:22 | 1:22:25 | ||
and push off. Yes, that was massive. Two Chinese medals. I am glad I did | 1:22:25 | 1:22:30 | |
not bet on that race. Extraordinary, a new world record, was not | 1:22:30 | 1:22:40 | |
1:22:40 | 1:22:51 | ||
That is China's second gold medal of the evening. She when she is | 1:22:51 | 1:22:55 | |
only 16, it is extraordinary, how many swimmers they have coming | 1:22:55 | 1:23:05 | |
1:23:05 | 1:23:05 | ||
through. At the lower age range. Yes, they have got strength in | 1:23:05 | 1:23:09 | |
depth. If the top guys are not performing, they have other people | 1:23:09 | 1:23:15 | |
to come through. That last 100 metres, I have never seen that | 1:23:15 | 1:23:21 | |
before. I have never seen anybody sprint like that. For Hannah Miley, | 1:23:21 | 1:23:25 | |
disappointment. She finishes in fifth-place. Let's hear her | 1:23:26 | 1:23:35 | |
reaction. Consoling each other a bit? I gave | 1:23:35 | 1:23:41 | |
it everything I had. This morning, it was a bunfight, getting into the | 1:23:41 | 1:23:47 | |
final. It was whoever could recover the quickest. I am gutted I did not | 1:23:47 | 1:23:52 | |
get a medal, but I cannot have given it any more. At the end of | 1:23:52 | 1:23:56 | |
the day, I will be able to look over it. It was one place better | 1:23:56 | 1:24:06 | |
1:24:06 | 1:24:10 | ||
than Beijing. That was all I could give. Frankie to everybody for | 1:24:10 | 1:24:16 | |
supporting me. It helped me get through to the final. It was a | 1:24:16 | 1:24:20 | |
solid swim, it could have been worse, I am happy. I said | 1:24:20 | 1:24:27 | |
beforehand you would give 110%. What can we expect in the 200? | 1:24:27 | 1:24:31 | |
will be great if I can make it through to the final this time. But | 1:24:31 | 1:24:40 | |
the standard is so high. It would be a bunfight, I will have to be | 1:24:40 | 1:24:46 | |
among stick, so we will say. It is tough when you have these pesky 16- | 1:24:46 | 1:24:51 | |
year-old! It is great to see the younger generation coming through. | 1:24:51 | 1:24:58 | |
They are learned from us, but they teach us a lot of things. The next | 1:24:58 | 1:25:03 | |
generation are faster and stronger. It is great to see that swimming is | 1:25:03 | 1:25:09 | |
moving on yet again. Hannah Miley says it is great, but | 1:25:09 | 1:25:15 | |
she is only 22! The winner is 16, the silver-medallist is 19, the | 1:25:15 | 1:25:22 | |
bronze-medallist is 18. It is a younger event. She was happy, it | 1:25:22 | 1:25:27 | |
was solid, but the time she did in the trials would have got her a | 1:25:27 | 1:25:31 | |
bronze medal. I know what she can do and how could she is. It was not | 1:25:31 | 1:25:39 | |
bad, but I feel for her. Nobody deserves it more than her. In four | 1:25:39 | 1:25:46 | |
years, it will be in Rio, a fantastic effort, but you sense | 1:25:46 | 1:25:52 | |
this year was her chance. Yes, it in front of your home crowd, you | 1:25:52 | 1:25:57 | |
want to perform. The ones that meant the most for May was in the | 1:25:57 | 1:26:04 | |
UK, in front of your friends and family. It was great, I wanted to | 1:26:04 | 1:26:12 | |
see her on the podium, though. is how sport works out. It is not | 1:26:12 | 1:26:16 | |
to be. We have the semi-finals coming up involving British | 1:26:16 | 1:26:20 | |
swimmers, and we think that sport provides plenty of drama, but it is | 1:26:20 | 1:26:30 | |
1:26:30 | 1:26:30 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds | 1:26:30 | 1:28:16 | |
Great drama and top sport on the BBC. Lots to choose from. On BBC | 1:28:16 | 1:28:21 | |
Three, you can watch the gymnastics. It is always very popular at the | 1:28:21 | 1:28:30 | |
Olympic Games. It has been a very good evening for tiny -- for China, | 1:28:31 | 1:28:36 | |
that was their fourth gold medal. When I was watching Elizabeth | 1:28:36 | 1:28:41 | |
Beisel, she came from behind, she was going through so well, and I | 1:28:41 | 1:28:47 | |
thought, I wonder how she will come up in the freestyle. Then, the | 1:28:47 | 1:28:50 | |
Chinese athlete has already started taking her arm, and she was so | 1:28:50 | 1:28:56 | |
dominant. The 50 metres to go, I knew she would beat the world | 1:28:56 | 1:29:04 | |
record. An incredible effort, 16 years older. Youngsters! Do you | 1:29:04 | 1:29:14 | |
1:29:14 | 1:29:15 | ||
hate them?! Michael Phelps has said something. It was a bad race, he | 1:29:15 | 1:29:20 | |
said. They swam a better race than me, they were better prepared than | 1:29:20 | 1:29:25 | |
May. That is why I am not on the podium. Honest, I suppose. | 1:29:25 | 1:29:32 | |
happens to all of us, I have had some bad times. In the past, | 1:29:32 | 1:29:36 | |
Michael has been able to get past a bad performance. This is a good | 1:29:36 | 1:29:40 | |
thing for him, this will motivate him throughout the rest of the | 1:29:40 | 1:29:48 | |
competition. We will see a stronger And we are trying to taking what | 1:29:48 | 1:29:52 | |
happened to Phelps. And almost summing up of his performance and | 1:29:52 | 1:29:59 | |
of his race. -- an honest summing up. Ryan Lochte, in contrast, was | 1:29:59 | 1:30:03 | |
superb. The excitement here because a lot of fans come to the Aquatics | 1:30:03 | 1:30:07 | |
Centre and want to see world records and that was an amazing way | 1:30:07 | 1:30:11 | |
to break one. How many question marks will there be about somebody | 1:30:11 | 1:30:16 | |
who come suddenly swim so much faster than she has before? It was | 1:30:16 | 1:30:19 | |
a five-second best time, the way she did it. When you are 16 years | 1:30:19 | 1:30:25 | |
of age you do do big best times, but the way she swam away from | 1:30:25 | 1:30:30 | |
Elizabeth Beisel, it was phenomenal. But then, Michael Phelps is | 1:30:30 | 1:30:36 | |
phenomenal. Is she the new Michael Phelps? It can be done. Michael | 1:30:36 | 1:30:40 | |
Phelps was bidding to win that for the third Olympics in a row, that | 1:30:40 | 1:30:45 | |
is why the challenge now passes to a star Japanese swimmer called | 1:30:45 | 1:30:55 | |
1:30:55 | 1:31:00 | ||
Kitajima, a massive world record. It was a gold in the 100 and 200 in | 1:31:00 | 1:31:03 | |
Athens and he has done the same in Beijing. Total dominance of world | 1:31:03 | 1:31:11 | |
breaststroke swimming. CLARE BALDING: His name may not be as | 1:31:11 | 1:31:14 | |
familiar as belt, but Kosuke Kitajima is huge. Widely hailed as | 1:31:14 | 1:31:19 | |
the world's best at breaststroke, the Frog King as he is known in his | 1:31:19 | 1:31:22 | |
homeland is simply a superstar. The 29 year-old has his website | 1:31:22 | 1:31:27 | |
complete with a blue head avatar and almost 90,000 Twitter followers | 1:31:27 | 1:31:31 | |
have been treated to his pictures from London and no wonder he wants | 1:31:31 | 1:31:39 | |
to share the moment, as history beckons. If he secures both the 100 | 1:31:39 | 1:31:43 | |
and 200 metre breaststroke titles, which he won in Athens in 2004 and | 1:31:43 | 1:31:46 | |
successfully defended in Beijing four years ago, he will be the | 1:31:46 | 1:31:52 | |
first man ever in swimming to do the triple double, to win two | 1:31:52 | 1:31:55 | |
titles at three successive Olympic Games. And having already recorded | 1:31:55 | 1:32:00 | |
the fastest time of 100 metres this year, the signs are that the from | 1:32:00 | 1:32:10 | |
1:32:10 | 1:32:14 | ||
It is one thing being a huge star in America or Britain, but when you | 1:32:14 | 1:32:18 | |
are massive in Japan, he probably can't even walk into by a pint of | 1:32:18 | 1:32:25 | |
milk, but -- not but he probably has to. Ian Thorpe became famous in | 1:32:25 | 1:32:32 | |
Japan and he stands out there. is big in Japan. He is big in Japan. | 1:32:32 | 1:32:37 | |
It is wonderful, seeing him on the block, tactically. He is smaller | 1:32:37 | 1:32:44 | |
than the others winners but he is a tactician. He won in 2004, and 2008. | 1:32:44 | 1:32:49 | |
Can he do it again? When in your country you have a good swimmer, | 1:32:49 | 1:32:55 | |
other swimmers follow. We have a guy in lane six as well. Indeed, | 1:32:55 | 1:32:59 | |
Ryo Tateishi. We will seek two semi-finals for the 100-metre | 1:32:59 | 1:33:07 | |
breaststroke. Missing from them, the world champion from Norway, 26, | 1:33:07 | 1:33:12 | |
he collapsed and died of a cardiac arrest. It was, still, nobody | 1:33:12 | 1:33:18 | |
really knows why, or what happened. He seemed perfectly fit. It is one | 1:33:18 | 1:33:23 | |
of those things, like Fabrice Muamba or in football. He fell over | 1:33:23 | 1:33:27 | |
and it happens. I suppose some people have weak hearts and you | 1:33:27 | 1:33:31 | |
don't see it and when it happens to one of the best, it reverberates | 1:33:31 | 1:33:35 | |
around the world. Fabrice Muamba was lucky there were people who | 1:33:35 | 1:33:39 | |
knew what had happened and treated him so quickly and he was up the | 1:33:39 | 1:33:43 | |
opening ceremony last night. An amazing recovery and a happy ending | 1:33:43 | 1:33:50 | |
for him. In terms of Kosuke Kitajima, he made coast, like he | 1:33:50 | 1:33:54 | |
did in the semi-final? There is so much depth in the field, about half | 1:33:54 | 1:33:57 | |
a second separating them, he will have to push it a lot. It is one of | 1:33:57 | 1:34:01 | |
those things we have seen, like Phelps missing out, he came 4th | 1:34:01 | 1:34:06 | |
this evening, an Olympic symbol -- and Olympic silver medallist missed | 1:34:06 | 1:34:10 | |
out, he wants to get the middle lane. That is where the medals come | 1:34:10 | 1:34:16 | |
from. In the second semi-final, on the reverse side you can get up | 1:34:16 | 1:34:21 | |
sets, sometimes the long shots sneak into the final. We have two | 1:34:21 | 1:34:31 | |
1:34:31 | 1:34:31 | ||
British swimmers, Craig Benson, semi-final. We want to hear from | 1:34:31 | 1:34:36 | |
Adrian Moorhouse because this is the event in which he won a gold | 1:34:36 | 1:34:46 | |
1:34:46 | 1:34:51 | ||
qualifier for the semi-final. He is the Olympic champion from 2004 in | 1:34:51 | 1:34:57 | |
Athens and 2008 in Beijing. But really incredible. So, listen to | 1:34:57 | 1:35:04 | |
this. Here he has, the 7th fastest qualifier for this first semi-final, | 1:35:04 | 1:35:07 | |
the world record holder. Not a bad way to start in lane one. In lane | 1:35:07 | 1:35:13 | |
two, Brendan Hansen from the USA. He made a comeback. He had a couple | 1:35:13 | 1:35:19 | |
of years out, he has come back again. He is the ex-world record | 1:35:19 | 1:35:27 | |
holder. In lane three, Cameron van der Burgh from South Africa. | 1:35:27 | 1:35:31 | |
will be out like a rocket. You watch him on the first 50 metres. | 1:35:31 | 1:35:37 | |
He has to make the most of his advantage there. A world record | 1:35:37 | 1:35:42 | |
holder in lane one, and ex-world record holder in lane two, the | 1:35:42 | 1:35:47 | |
double Olympic champion in the 100 metres and 200 metres breaststroke | 1:35:47 | 1:35:52 | |
in the last Tube Games, going in lane four. He is trying to create | 1:35:52 | 1:35:59 | |
history. Trying to win three titles in the same event. In three | 1:35:59 | 1:36:09 | |
1:36:09 | 1:36:13 | ||
consecutive Olympic Games. In lane five, Daniel Gyurta. Ryo Tateishi | 1:36:13 | 1:36:18 | |
is in lane six. The world championship silver medallist from | 1:36:18 | 1:36:25 | |
Italy is in lane seven. The Brazilian is in lane eight. An | 1:36:25 | 1:36:35 | |
1:36:35 | 1:36:35 | ||
extraordinary field. A great field. Kosuke Kitajima, he has two gold | 1:36:36 | 1:36:41 | |
medals. He won them in two dozen and four and 2008. He is favoured | 1:36:41 | 1:36:47 | |
for both here. It is like do it -- it is like Kelly Holmes doing what | 1:36:47 | 1:36:52 | |
she did three times. They call him the capital that it -- the Emperor. | 1:36:52 | 1:37:02 | |
1:37:02 | 1:37:15 | ||
I would love to see him do it. Lane top end, lanes one, to lane five. | 1:37:15 | 1:37:25 | |
1:37:25 | 1:37:27 | ||
100 metres breaststroke and the world record holder is in lane | 1:37:27 | 1:37:36 | |
three. He has the green hat from South Africa, he is going again. | 1:37:36 | 1:37:41 | |
is more controlled, you can tell. He is not snatching at the water, | 1:37:41 | 1:37:51 | |
1:37:51 | 1:37:52 | ||
it is a nice, controlled swing. Lane one is going well. Some of | 1:37:52 | 1:38:02 | |
1:38:02 | 1:38:11 | ||
these guys are doing two or three has some work to do. It is a really | 1:38:11 | 1:38:16 | |
tough semi-final but he is not looking back good, Kosuke Kitajima. | 1:38:16 | 1:38:22 | |
Come on! Cameron van der Burgh is going to win it. Kosuke Kitajima | 1:38:23 | 1:38:31 | |
has 4th, he did not look good. Cameron van der Burgh paced that | 1:38:31 | 1:38:37 | |
perfectly. He doesn't even look bothered. That was good. I am glad | 1:38:37 | 1:38:47 | |
1:38:47 | 1:38:56 | ||
people think it is a sprint but in energy terms it is a minute. It is | 1:38:56 | 1:39:00 | |
not like and nine second run. You have to be careful on the first few | 1:39:00 | 1:39:06 | |
metres. But this two or three strokes set the tone. He glided, | 1:39:06 | 1:39:11 | |
what was he thinking when his head was down? He did look much more | 1:39:11 | 1:39:16 | |
controlled. He does not look that bothered, he is excited. He knows. | 1:39:16 | 1:39:20 | |
Check his tweets after this, I bet he is excited about that. He should | 1:39:20 | 1:39:30 | |
1:39:30 | 1:39:37 | ||
Kosuke Kitajima is not guaranteed a final with eight quick gentleman in | 1:39:37 | 1:39:42 | |
the semi-final. There are two British men in the second semi- | 1:39:42 | 1:39:51 | |
final. 59.69 is the target. The second semi-final of the men's 100- | 1:39:51 | 1:39:57 | |
metre breaststroke, they know what they have to do. The 4th finisher | 1:39:57 | 1:40:07 | |
1:40:07 | 1:40:10 | ||
Benson, in lane one. 18 years of age. We talked about people before | 1:40:10 | 1:40:14 | |
swimming junior meet. He did the European juniors this year. He had | 1:40:14 | 1:40:18 | |
qualified for the British team. He did not make it his main priority. | 1:40:18 | 1:40:26 | |
This is it. Listen to the ovation. He has his headphones on. Take them | 1:40:26 | 1:40:35 | |
of vandalism! -- take them off and listen! I am guessing adrenalin | 1:40:35 | 1:40:43 | |
levels are high. He has gone for the raw, Michael Jamieson from Bath. | 1:40:43 | 1:40:46 | |
He took his opportunity, the Scottish record, the first man | 1:40:46 | 1:40:52 | |
under a minute, 59.89 is a personal best time. He was not in the team | 1:40:52 | 1:40:57 | |
for the 100, but then but as a shoulder injury and someone had to | 1:40:57 | 1:41:03 | |
pull out. Christian Sprenger, the 200-metre world record holder. He | 1:41:03 | 1:41:11 | |
has always been the second string and got him at the trials this year. | 1:41:11 | 1:41:20 | |
On the 100, that is. He got him at the trials. I wonder whether he | 1:41:20 | 1:41:26 | |
will be fast enough for the final. Look at the size of that guy! | 1:41:26 | 1:41:34 | |
Bob Dickens of Canada, in six Paul Staines -- in lane six. This guy | 1:41:34 | 1:41:38 | |
had testicular cancer in 2008. He found out at the Olympic training | 1:41:38 | 1:41:43 | |
camp. What a thing to find out in Olympic training camp, my goodness | 1:41:43 | 1:41:50 | |
me, you have got cancer. The Brazilian is completing the line-up. | 1:41:50 | 1:41:54 | |
Watch him go out fast at the bottom of the picture. The two British men | 1:41:54 | 1:41:59 | |
will be at the top, Benson, 18 years old. What an opportunity in | 1:41:59 | 1:42:05 | |
for him. Benson in lane one, Jamieson in lane two. They both | 1:42:06 | 1:42:12 | |
have red hats. The world champion on the 50 metres at the bottom. I | 1:42:12 | 1:42:22 | |
1:42:22 | 1:42:43 | ||
would love to see both the British were not so strong. Slower | 1:42:43 | 1:42:47 | |
reactions in the Red Caps. They have a lot of work to do here. Look | 1:42:47 | 1:42:52 | |
at lane four. Christian Sprenger. He has been working on his speed | 1:42:52 | 1:42:56 | |
this year. He is world renowned for his to run at metres, but this is | 1:42:56 | 1:43:06 | |
1:43:06 | 1:43:07 | ||
good for him. Not easy to get out quickly. Glenn Snyders has a | 1:43:07 | 1:43:10 | |
different stroke, quite flat underwater, he does not use his | 1:43:10 | 1:43:14 | |
hips as much as the rest of the field. Jamieson is looking good in | 1:43:14 | 1:43:21 | |
lane two. You can make the final if he gets on with it. He does have to | 1:43:21 | 1:43:25 | |
come back because these big guys in the centre are going really fast. | 1:43:25 | 1:43:35 | |
1:43:35 | 1:43:51 | ||
Jamieson, 59.8 denied. He was third. Craig Benson, 60.13, another great | 1:43:51 | 1:43:55 | |
swim from him. Jamieson has equalled the Scottish record, set | 1:43:55 | 1:43:59 | |
in the heats this morning. The same time, twice in one day. Christian | 1:43:59 | 1:44:04 | |
Sprenger looked like he was tying up, I don't think he was easing off. | 1:44:04 | 1:44:11 | |
Jamieson might make the final with that. Oh, no, I have just seen our | 1:44:11 | 1:44:21 | |
1:44:21 | 1:44:53 | ||
computer. He has missed it. He is as tough as expected. We said the | 1:44:53 | 1:45:00 | |
first semi-final was loaded. He really could swim from Michael | 1:45:00 | 1:45:06 | |
Jamieson and Craig Benson. Pretty unusual, six qualifying from the | 1:45:06 | 1:45:16 | |
1:45:16 | 1:45:34 | ||
first semi-final, two from the Looking at the scoreboard, and | 1:45:34 | 1:45:38 | |
thinking it you would getting in third place? Yes, it was pretty | 1:45:38 | 1:45:43 | |
close. It was a huge chunk of my best time this morning, so were | 1:45:43 | 1:45:50 | |
treated like that as a final. I was taking caffeine. Being a 200 | 1:45:51 | 1:45:56 | |
swimmer, I need to treat every 100 as a final. It is a bit | 1:45:56 | 1:46:01 | |
disappointing to finish ninth, but it bodes well for the 200. I am | 1:46:01 | 1:46:06 | |
pretty chuffed. The crowd were screaming at you. That must bode | 1:46:06 | 1:46:12 | |
well. Yes, I could hear them, like this morning, it is amazing, it | 1:46:12 | 1:46:18 | |
makes a difference. I felt like I was tying up a bit in the last 15, | 1:46:18 | 1:46:22 | |
but I want to say thank you to everybody again, to hear them | 1:46:22 | 1:46:26 | |
tonight is amazing. It is definitely the best feeling. | 1:46:26 | 1:46:32 | |
double-edged sword, I know that he wanted to get under 60 seconds. | 1:46:32 | 1:46:38 | |
really wanted to get into the final, but it was not meant to be. It is a | 1:46:38 | 1:46:43 | |
fantastic experience, though. is definitely the best experience | 1:46:43 | 1:46:48 | |
of my life. I have never been to a world championships for a | 1:46:48 | 1:46:57 | |
Commonwealth Games or anything. I handled it quite well. This is much | 1:46:57 | 1:47:03 | |
bigger than the crowds I am used to, so I am happy with how I performed. | 1:47:03 | 1:47:13 | |
1:47:13 | 1:47:44 | ||
interesting line-up. They do not takeovers in the heats this morning, | 1:47:44 | 1:47:48 | |
and we looked at Natalie Coughlin and we said it was very close, | 1:47:48 | 1:47:58 | |
1:47:58 | 1:47:59 | ||
professional. Right on the wire. There was nothing between her feet | 1:47:59 | 1:48:04 | |
leaving the block and the previous swimmer touching the wall. | 1:48:04 | 1:48:12 | |
Extraordinary. Perhaps that is why she is not on the team. That would | 1:48:12 | 1:48:17 | |
be harsh. She is a great experienced swimmer. But 0.0 is | 1:48:17 | 1:48:27 | |
1:48:27 | 1:48:28 | ||
probably too tight! Listen to this. Great Britain in lane eight. Amy | 1:48:28 | 1:48:34 | |
Smith on the left, Fran Halsall in the red top, Jessica Lloyd and | 1:48:34 | 1:48:44 | |
1:48:44 | 1:48:44 | ||
Caitlin McClatchey. Fran Halsall is second, a very interesting decision. | 1:48:45 | 1:48:52 | |
Amy Smith often leads, but with Fran Halsall second, they want to | 1:48:52 | 1:48:56 | |
capitalise on what pace they have got, to get amongst the top few | 1:48:56 | 1:49:02 | |
early on. This will be a heck of a race, the Dutch are so strong. They | 1:49:02 | 1:49:12 | |
1:49:12 | 1:49:33 | ||
will be happy to repeat their gold Dutch. They do start as the | 1:49:33 | 1:49:40 | |
favourites for May. Inge Dekke with a very good start in did. She | 1:49:40 | 1:49:43 | |
pulled out of the individual race to give the Dutch a very good | 1:49:43 | 1:49:53 | |
1:49:53 | 1:50:08 | ||
Right at the bottom, Amy Smith looking really good. It will be | 1:50:08 | 1:50:18 | |
1:50:18 | 1:50:25 | ||
lovely to see her go below 54 decent lead off. Now, we have Fran | 1:50:25 | 1:50:33 | |
Halsall. As expected, the USA and the Dutch. Eighth place for the | 1:50:33 | 1:50:37 | |
Dutch, really surprising. The Chinese coming back on the | 1:50:37 | 1:50:47 | |
1:50:47 | 1:50:49 | ||
Americans. The USA lead-in. Australia coming back. Australia | 1:50:50 | 1:50:59 | |
are looking pretty good here. Australia always seen to do this, | 1:50:59 | 1:51:09 | |
1:51:09 | 1:51:09 | ||
they are so tough in relays. The halfway mark. USA, Australia second, | 1:51:09 | 1:51:14 | |
Fran Halsall has had a fantastic leg. Great Britain are in third | 1:51:14 | 1:51:19 | |
position. Really exciting. fantastic split from Fran Halsall, | 1:51:19 | 1:51:25 | |
she has given the team the best shot. Jess Lloyd, she has got some | 1:51:25 | 1:51:33 | |
work now. She has got clear water to her left. China are trying to | 1:51:33 | 1:51:40 | |
pull back into third place. They will not like this. Great Britain | 1:51:40 | 1:51:50 | |
1:51:50 | 1:52:01 | ||
zero. Six-second -- Great Britain It looks like it might be Australia. | 1:52:01 | 1:52:07 | |
It looked a good takeover. Australia, the USA, and a third | 1:52:07 | 1:52:14 | |
place, it is Holland. They have got the fastest in the world on their | 1:52:14 | 1:52:24 | |
1:52:24 | 1:52:26 | ||
final leg. She is catching up. Great Britain in fifth place. | 1:52:26 | 1:52:35 | |
Dutch could possibly win this. She has had a haircut a year. -- one | 1:52:35 | 1:52:45 | |
1:52:45 | 1:52:46 | ||
heck of a year. The Americans look to be tailing off. This is a | 1:52:46 | 1:52:54 | |
brilliant swimmer from the Australian. It is the gold medal to | 1:52:54 | 1:52:59 | |
Australia, the silver to Holland, the bronze to America, and Britain | 1:52:59 | 1:53:05 | |
finished fifth. A good swim from lane eight. They were a call seven | 1:53:05 | 1:53:12 | |
for daring in, and they have come fifth, very good. -- they were | 1:53:12 | 1:53:18 | |
equal seventh place going in. They have got out of the ball straight | 1:53:18 | 1:53:28 | |
1:53:28 | 1:53:29 | ||
away, they are not supposed to. Some red lights lit on the blocks. | 1:53:29 | 1:53:39 | |
1:53:39 | 1:53:43 | ||
No. 4 and number five. It denotes who to finish his first and second. | 1:53:43 | 1:53:49 | |
-- who finishes first and second. Sweden got disqualified, they were | 1:53:49 | 1:53:59 | |
1:53:59 | 1:54:00 | ||
not really in it anyway. I am surprised the Australians held off | 1:54:00 | 1:54:10 | |
1:54:10 | 1:54:10 | ||
the Dutch. The Dutch has a quick 50. It might have been too much. In the | 1:54:10 | 1:54:20 | |
end, it was pretty comfortable. 0.6. It is a lot. Olympic champion! | 1:54:20 | 1:54:30 | |
1:54:30 | 1:54:41 | ||
Stunning. The American leader of, 53.5. -- lead-off. A bit of a shock | 1:54:41 | 1:54:51 | |
1:54:51 | 1:54:56 | ||
for me, that one. Great Britain, Great Britain improving on their | 1:54:56 | 1:55:01 | |
qualifying time, finishing fifth. There are positives at the end of | 1:55:01 | 1:55:05 | |
the evening to take out for the British team. Yes, it shows what | 1:55:05 | 1:55:11 | |
the home crowd can do. They gave it a really good shot. It was a great | 1:55:11 | 1:55:17 | |
team effort, it bodes well for Fran Halsall in the freestyle events. | 1:55:17 | 1:55:21 | |
The Olympic Games, you want to perform properly. The Dutch were | 1:55:21 | 1:55:25 | |
the red-hot favourites, we have had some upsets tonight. Anything is | 1:55:25 | 1:55:33 | |
possible. We have had a gold medal for Ryan Lochte, two for China, and | 1:55:33 | 1:55:37 | |
it is not fair, you have the British crowd shouting, and you | 1:55:37 | 1:55:45 | |
have got people with some Ulster Bank, which is louder! -- with | 1:55:45 | 1:55:54 | |
cymbals to bang! Every time they have had somebody in the final, | 1:55:54 | 1:55:58 | |
they have dominated. You do not know what will happen when it comes | 1:55:58 | 1:56:03 | |
to a big championships. With the British team, we expect success, we | 1:56:04 | 1:56:10 | |
expect to make the final. We are not like we were five or six years | 1:56:10 | 1:56:17 | |
ago. The one who will field worst tonight, Hannah Miley. Let's get a | 1:56:17 | 1:56:23 | |
reaction from the four women who finished fifth. | 1:56:23 | 1:56:26 | |
Congratulations, I know you wanted to do better, but it was really | 1:56:26 | 1:56:31 | |
respectable. Yes, at the world championships last year, we did not | 1:56:31 | 1:56:37 | |
make the final. It showed how much we improved. If we keep continuing, | 1:56:37 | 1:56:43 | |
it is fabulous. Were you pleased or disappointed with your Lake? I did | 1:56:43 | 1:56:49 | |
not expect much. For reasons unknown to me, the time has not | 1:56:49 | 1:56:55 | |
been right all year. I am a racer, I wanted to get in a race. I have | 1:56:55 | 1:57:01 | |
been good in training, but I wanted to step up. I was looking forward | 1:57:01 | 1:57:06 | |
to the relay, we did a good job. How was your first experience of an | 1:57:06 | 1:57:12 | |
Olympic Games? It is not bad, making a final, first time round. | 1:57:12 | 1:57:18 | |
Especially being so close to a medal. I will be grabbing one next | 1:57:18 | 1:57:25 | |
time around. Was it scary, with the noise? It is partisan. It is | 1:57:25 | 1:57:30 | |
fantastic. If anything, it is encouragement. You cannot complain | 1:57:30 | 1:57:36 | |
about it. It really lifts you, I cannot thank everybody enough. | 1:57:36 | 1:57:41 | |
have got races to come. Yes, I am racing on Monday, but I have | 1:57:41 | 1:57:48 | |
enjoyed racing with the goals tonight. We did an awesome job. We | 1:57:48 | 1:57:53 | |
just missed the British record, so I am proud of all of us. We will | 1:57:53 | 1:57:58 | |
see you soon. In terms of tomorrow, there is | 1:57:58 | 1:58:03 | |
plenty for the British team to get excited about. Rebecca Adlington | 1:58:03 | 1:58:07 | |
defending her 400-metre freestyle title. But we have to be realistic, | 1:58:07 | 1:58:14 | |
it is not a certainty that she will win. We did it with Tom Daley in | 1:58:14 | 1:58:20 | |
the diving, you pick a gold medal on to somebody. She is the reigning | 1:58:20 | 1:58:26 | |
champion and our most successful swimmer, but this is not her main | 1:58:26 | 1:58:31 | |
event. Upsets can happen. We have had a great evening. We generally | 1:58:31 | 1:58:36 | |
want our swimmers to win medals, but it does not always happen. The | 1:58:36 | 1:58:41 | |
USA or strong, China have had a great need. If you get up there and | 1:58:41 | 1:58:47 | |
have some fun, they can be some great stuff. We saw a glimpse of | 1:58:47 | 1:58:56 | |
the American star, she is only 17, she is 6 ft 4. Unbelievable swimmer. | 1:58:56 | 1:59:01 | |
It did not come off in the relay, but we will see her in the 100 | 1:59:01 | 1:59:06 | |
metres backstroke tomorrow, against Gemma Spofforth. Gemma is a big | 1:59:07 | 1:59:15 | |
girl as well. She is about six for it. But it is the arms ban, it is | 1:59:15 | 1:59:22 | |
longer than her height. It is like Michael Phelps. Swimmers tend to | 1:59:22 | 1:59:29 | |
have long dams. -- long arms. It is interesting to see them doing other | 1:59:29 | 1:59:35 | |
events. If you do not make it through, you do not get another | 1:59:35 | 1:59:41 | |
chance. I have gone to Olympics in the past, we have had three or four | 1:59:41 | 1:59:46 | |
people in the hall Olympics make the final, so we have started well. | 1:59:46 | 1:59:51 | |
It is a huge step up in terms of achievement and the depth of talent. | 1:59:51 | 1:59:55 | |
You are a good reader of body- language, you saw them as they came | 1:59:55 | 2:00:03 | |
out, what is your feelings about It is good. They will be | 2:00:03 | 2:00:07 | |
disappointed they have missed out on the guys getting into one of the | 2:00:07 | 2:00:10 | |
spots in the breaststroke, particularly Michael, her talent | 2:00:10 | 2:00:14 | |
and the 200 metres. It would have been good for him to get a place. | 2:00:14 | 2:00:19 | |
It will be a close race. I am excited. I am excited to see | 2:00:19 | 2:00:22 | |
Rebecca Adlington tomorrow. The 400 metres freestyle is going to be a | 2:00:23 | 2:00:27 | |
good race. She will be up against pedigree knee, who messed up four | 2:00:27 | 2:00:36 | |
years ago. She is in really good shape. The 800 is there one we | 2:00:36 | 2:00:40 | |
expect Rebecca Adlington to defend the most, but if she can do the | 2:00:40 | 2:00:44 | |
double, that would be incredible. The heats start him and semi-finals, | 2:00:44 | 2:00:48 | |
the heats, some heats go straight to finals, some go to semi-finals, | 2:00:48 | 2:00:53 | |
they start at 10am tomorrow. We will see the an Tancock in the 100- | 2:00:53 | 2:00:57 | |
metre backstroke. There is the reigning world champion at 50 | 2:00:57 | 2:01:01 | |
metres, he has the speed and training and he says he is born to | 2:01:01 | 2:01:06 | |
race. 17,500 people, he will be one of the people who uses this crowd, | 2:01:06 | 2:01:12 | |
I am hoping, and gets a medal for us. Many watching this evening will | 2:01:12 | 2:01:16 | |
be new Ryan Lochte fans and you can see him again tomorrow, going for a | 2:01:16 | 2:01:20 | |
second gold medal. There is plenty to come from here, where we saw | 2:01:20 | 2:01:25 | |
Phelps not even make the podium but Ryan Lochte came out in front. | 2:01:25 | 2:01:29 | |
Thank you very much, that is it from the Aquatics Centre for this | 2:01:29 | 2:01:33 | |
evening. You have a long arms because you at -- because I saw you | 2:01:33 | 2:01:37 | |
punching the air in the Australian victory. It was a good victory, a | 2:01:37 | 2:01:41 | |
marvellous night of swimming here. I appreciate being able to watch it. | 2:01:41 | 2:01:46 | |
The highlight of the evening for you? The highlight of the evening, | 2:01:46 | 2:01:51 | |
I think the 400 metres, that blew me away tonight, the result was | 2:01:51 | 2:01:56 | |
patriotic but it was impressive. Thank you very much, that is the | 2:01:56 | 2:01:59 | |
swimming for day one. There is lots more sport to show you over the | 2:01:59 | 2:02:09 | |
2:02:09 | 2:02:12 | ||
have women's football. That is coming up very shortly, Great | 2:02:12 | 2:02:19 | |
Britain against Cameroon. We have gymnastics, the men's team in | 2:02:19 | 2:02:29 | |
action. We look forward to that. We also have boxing. High expectations | 2:02:29 | 2:02:37 | |
from the British team at the Olympic Games. After the tearful | 2:02:37 | 2:02:43 | |
heart break of his defeat at Wimbledon 20 days ago, Andy Murray | 2:02:43 | 2:02:48 | |
was back in SW19 today, alongside his brother, Jamie, in the doubles. | 2:02:48 | 2:02:53 | |
After winning the first set against the Austrian pair, the second went | 2:02:53 | 2:02:58 | |
to a tie-break. It is quite a way down the river to Wimbledon from | 2:02:58 | 2:03:04 | |
here! That is what I call an Olympic lane. There you go, there | 2:03:04 | 2:03:14 | |
2:03:14 | 2:03:16 | ||
it is. Centre Court. Perfectly done. We join the action with the British | 2:03:16 | 2:03:26 | |
2:03:26 | 2:03:31 | ||
Frustration from Jamie Murray. knew he had a good look at that | 2:03:31 | 2:03:35 | |
second serve on to his backhand side, which is his favoured | 2:03:35 | 2:03:40 | |
returning win, but he could not do enough with it. It is vital that | 2:03:40 | 2:03:45 | |
Andy Murray can win two points here on his serve, keep the British pair | 2:03:45 | 2:03:55 | |
2:03:55 | 2:03:55 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds | 2:03:55 | 2:04:43 | |
Quick, easy points for Murray. They Two Serves four the Austrians, | 2:04:43 | 2:04:53 | |
2:04:53 | 2:05:13 | ||
Oh, it is good, very good from Andy Murray did very well to get | 2:05:13 | 2:05:18 | |
that return back in and with the flick of a risk, a half volley from | 2:05:18 | 2:05:28 | |

2:06:44 | 2:06:44 | ||
the British pair survive a four now. -- survive for now. Certainly the | 2:06:44 | 2:06:50 | |
best atmosphere I have heard in a long time. It is a Davis Cup-style | 2:06:50 | 2:06:56 | |
atmosphere. A first-round doubles match. Great to see the support for | 2:06:56 | 2:07:06 | |
2:07:06 | 2:07:07 | ||
If they can hold out on this serve from Jamie Murray, the advantage | 2:07:07 | 2:07:17 | |
2:07:17 | 2:07:35 | ||
Well, instead, the UN -- the advantage and the set. And serve | 2:07:35 | 2:07:45 | |
2:07:45 | 2:08:01 | ||
goes to the Austrians and Jurgen And there it is, we are level at | 2:08:01 | 2:08:05 | |
one set all, in to a decider. There is not much applause around here | 2:08:05 | 2:08:12 | |
but you have to applaud the Austrians for Hani in there. | 2:08:12 | 2:08:15 | |
GARY LINEKAR: The Austrians winning that said proved crucial because | 2:08:15 | 2:08:21 | |
for a while later it was all over for the Murray brothers and the | 2:08:21 | 2:08:24 | |
Austrians are through to the next round. More disappointment for Andy | 2:08:24 | 2:08:30 | |
Murray. And his brother, Jamie Foster we can hear from them now, | 2:08:30 | 2:08:34 | |
their reaction after that game. They have been talking to Tanya | 2:08:34 | 2:08:42 | |
It was a high quality much both of us played, both teams played well | 2:08:42 | 2:08:46 | |
through the match and doubles can come down to a couple of shops and | 2:08:46 | 2:08:51 | |
a couple of points. They got them at the end -- a couple of shots. | 2:08:51 | 2:08:58 | |
Disappointing. Like Andy said, we had a couple of chances and we | 2:08:58 | 2:09:03 | |
could have got it in two sets but those guys played well. Some great | 2:09:03 | 2:09:09 | |
returns in the third set. It set us back. At the end and we came up a | 2:09:09 | 2:09:13 | |
bit short. What did it feel to be back here at Wimbledon? It is great, | 2:09:13 | 2:09:18 | |
every time I play here. I always enjoy it. The crowd were fantastic. | 2:09:18 | 2:09:25 | |
It was a fun atmosphere. I am disappointed to lose. | 2:09:25 | 2:09:32 | |
There are singles tomorrow for Andy Murray, he plays Wawrinka. A | 2:09:32 | 2:09:35 | |
beautiful Skype in London this evening, just like it was last | 2:09:35 | 2:09:40 | |
night, 24 hours ago, almost exactly the opening ceremony got under way. | 2:09:40 | 2:09:46 | |
It was a great spectacle, a great triumph for Danny Boyle. All those | 2:09:46 | 2:09:49 | |
people that took part in that ceremony, we have got one of them | 2:09:49 | 2:09:57 | |
here. Desiree Henry, you 11 of the seven young athletes that came at | 2:09:57 | 2:10:01 | |
the end that lap -- that lit the torch and took it off Steve | 2:10:01 | 2:10:06 | |
Redgrave. How excited was that? Absolutely exciting, I enjoyed the | 2:10:06 | 2:10:10 | |
whole experience. When did you get to hear what you were going to do? | 2:10:10 | 2:10:16 | |
It was a week before. Just one week? Just one week but for me as a | 2:10:16 | 2:10:20 | |
teenager that was hard to keep from my friends and my dad and my | 2:10:20 | 2:10:23 | |
sisters as well. I was really happy that I did keep the surprise | 2:10:23 | 2:10:27 | |
because the shock for them was just amazing and that is what I wanted | 2:10:27 | 2:10:32 | |
to hear. This is you. Describe your emotions as you went round there, | 2:10:32 | 2:10:37 | |
in front of all those people and great athletes. It was emotional. | 2:10:37 | 2:10:41 | |
But one point I thought I was about to cry. After all the hard work, | 2:10:41 | 2:10:45 | |
what an amazing opportunity for me as an athlete anyway, just to go | 2:10:46 | 2:10:48 | |
out there and like the torch and represent the young, up coming | 2:10:48 | 2:10:53 | |
athletes. How many times did you get to rehearse this particular? | 2:10:53 | 2:10:57 | |
This particular part, only once. On the day, it seemed like a different | 2:10:57 | 2:11:02 | |
experience, it was amazing. Were you nervous? Yes. My legs were | 2:11:02 | 2:11:06 | |
shaking. Once the adrenalin kicked in and the positive energy from the | 2:11:06 | 2:11:11 | |
crowds kicked in, I felt relaxed. That was amazing, the torch. It was | 2:11:11 | 2:11:15 | |
incredible. We did not know what was going to come from this and it | 2:11:15 | 2:11:20 | |
emerged into a beautiful sculptural piece that we saw there. You have | 2:11:21 | 2:11:25 | |
probably spotted Amir Khan, who has sneaked in. You were there, | 2:11:25 | 2:11:28 | |
watching? I was there, the atmosphere was brilliant. These | 2:11:28 | 2:11:34 | |
guys did a great job. We were talking, I said, we you know this? | 2:11:34 | 2:11:39 | |
She said she was shaking. Anybody would be shaking on such a big | 2:11:39 | 2:11:45 | |
occasion. What a great ceremony it was. You are an aspiring athlete, a | 2:11:45 | 2:11:50 | |
world of youth champion at two have metres. Yes. Your dream? I am | 2:11:50 | 2:11:54 | |
working on it. This year I went to the world junior championships and | 2:11:54 | 2:11:57 | |
despite injury, I made the final and came force which was a personal | 2:11:57 | 2:12:02 | |
achievement. It tops it up, coming here and lighting the cauldron. | 2:12:02 | 2:12:08 | |
What is your ambition? How far? To be here at another Olympic Stadium? | 2:12:08 | 2:12:13 | |
In four years time we have the Olympics, I hope to be there. | 2:12:13 | 2:12:17 | |
hope to see you performing at competing and winning the medal, | 2:12:17 | 2:12:23 | |
the same colour as that. Fingers crossed. What was your favourite | 2:12:23 | 2:12:27 | |
moment of the opening ceremony? What really blew me away and what | 2:12:27 | 2:12:31 | |
was beautiful was the change from looking at the English countryside | 2:12:31 | 2:12:36 | |
and what existed here for hundreds of years, into what was the | 2:12:36 | 2:12:44 | |
industrial revolution. This was the big moment. The forged rings that | 2:12:44 | 2:12:51 | |
emerged, incredible. Also, the Queen. I mean, she delivered that | 2:12:51 | 2:12:56 | |
line perfectly, Her Majesty did a good job. I think that the Queen | 2:12:56 | 2:13:02 | |
saying, good evening, Mr Bond, was the best television in history. | 2:13:02 | 2:13:05 | |
Queen's speech was brilliant and also Sebastian Coe, who did an | 2:13:05 | 2:13:15 | |
2:13:15 | 2:13:19 | ||
amazing speech. Overall it was Good evening, Mr Bond. Good evening, | 2:13:19 | 2:13:29 | |
2:13:29 | 2:13:31 | ||
Priceless. I wonder when he approached the Queen and asked her,, | 2:13:31 | 2:13:37 | |
who said, we got this idea. When she was sat at the desk, we thought | 2:13:37 | 2:13:42 | |
it was a lookalike, we have seen it so many times before. There was | 2:13:42 | 2:13:44 | |
that pause, when you thought it was not the Queen, then it was the | 2:13:44 | 2:13:49 | |
Queen. Apart from your bit, what was your favourite moment? For me | 2:13:49 | 2:13:53 | |
personally, seeing the kids come out. The nurses and doctors seen, | 2:13:53 | 2:13:59 | |
seeing the kids jumping on the bed. A thought it was nice. I thought it | 2:13:59 | 2:14:02 | |
was a nice opportunity for volunteers to get the spotlight and | 2:14:02 | 2:14:07 | |
appreciate doctors and nurses. celebration of the NHS. We wish you | 2:14:07 | 2:14:11 | |
all the very best in the future and it is lovely that you Caimin and | 2:14:11 | 2:14:16 | |
treasure that, look after it. will. A wonderful moment. Let's | 2:14:16 | 2:14:21 | |
turn our attention to football and Britain's women were in action this | 2:14:21 | 2:14:24 | |
evening after beating New Zealand in their first game. They faced | 2:14:24 | 2:14:27 | |
Cameroon and they knew that a win would take them through to the | 2:14:27 | 2:14:37 | |
2:14:37 | 2:14:44 | ||
support for Hope Powell's team. They will get a place in the | 2:14:44 | 2:14:54 | |
2:14:54 | 2:15:00 | ||
quarter-final if they see off the that beat New Zealand 1-0 here on | 2:15:01 | 2:15:05 | |
Wednesday, with an impressive team performance. There had been talk. | 2:15:05 | 2:15:13 | |
For Ellen White, but Kim Little keeps her place. Anita Asante the | 2:15:13 | 2:15:20 | |
only player who will have to watch her step, on a yellow card. Two | 2:15:20 | 2:15:25 | |
changes to the Cameroon team beaten by Brazil in their first game. | 2:15:25 | 2:15:35 | |
2:15:35 | 2:16:08 | ||
Francine Zouga and Adrienne Iven sticking to her task. It is the | 2:16:08 | 2:16:15 | |
defending. She frustrated Kelly Smith. Cameron have the advantage, | 2:16:15 | 2:16:25 | |
they have looked at the first game -- Cameroon. Kelly Smith went toe- | 2:16:25 | 2:16:35 | |
2:16:35 | 2:16:35 | ||
to-toe with Christine Manie. A yellow card. Kelly Smith was taken | 2:16:35 | 2:16:44 | |
out before the ball was touched. Annette Ngo Ndom did not get there, | 2:16:44 | 2:16:50 | |
and it is a tap-in for Casey Stoney. The free-kick conceded, quickly | 2:16:50 | 2:16:55 | |
followed by a goal conceded. Barely a flicker of emotion from Hope | 2:16:55 | 2:16:59 | |
Powell, but it is a different story in the stands are. She cannot | 2:16:59 | 2:17:08 | |
believe her luck, she ghosted in at the back. I do not think she | 2:17:08 | 2:17:13 | |
thought the ball would end up there, but fair play. That is the goal | 2:17:13 | 2:17:21 | |
they needed early on. That will settle the nerves. What a terrible | 2:17:21 | 2:17:26 | |
minute for Cameroon, Christine Manie gave away the free-kick, she | 2:17:26 | 2:17:30 | |
got a yellow card, she will miss the final game against New Zealand | 2:17:30 | 2:17:37 | |
in Coventry, and seconds later, they are 1-0 down. Jill Scott makes | 2:17:37 | 2:17:44 | |
it 2-0. Great Britain are well and truly in the box seat. That is a | 2:17:44 | 2:17:53 | |
really well-worked goal. They keep the ball, they move it quickly. 2-0 | 2:17:53 | 2:17:58 | |
at this stage, you could not ask for more. It was great movement | 2:17:58 | 2:18:04 | |
from Jill Scott. Calm and collected, the finish from Jill Scott. She | 2:18:04 | 2:18:14 | |
2:18:14 | 2:18:15 | ||
will be pleased with that. Cameroon are coming to make a substitution, | 2:18:15 | 2:18:25 | |
2:18:25 | 2:18:25 | ||
and it is Baby P rien, the left- back, going off. -- Bebey Beyene. | 2:18:25 | 2:18:34 | |
This could be a tactical switch. Bibi Medoua comes on. The | 2:18:34 | 2:18:39 | |
goalkeeper has kept out Kelly Smith, it is a corner. Bibi Medoua's first | 2:18:39 | 2:18:46 | |
touch was to put the ball behind. Kelly Smith took a great position. | 2:18:46 | 2:18:56 | |
2:18:56 | 2:19:07 | ||
She was not offside, it was a great Bibi Medoua. The referee was ready | 2:19:07 | 2:19:17 | |
2:19:17 | 2:19:33 | ||
been a fingertip from the another goal is coming soon. It is | 2:19:33 | 2:19:37 | |
a great save from the goalkeeper, onto the post, from Stephanie | 2:19:37 | 2:19:47 | |
2:19:47 | 2:19:57 | ||
malicious. It was a good try from Francine Zouga. Karen Bardsley was | 2:19:57 | 2:20:04 | |
not 100% sure that was the required. That is the finger at this level, | 2:20:04 | 2:20:10 | |
each international team have got players that can hurt you. Karen | 2:20:10 | 2:20:20 | |
2:20:20 | 2:20:49 | ||
predominantly right-footed. Annette substitute, Bibi Medoua. Anita | 2:20:49 | 2:20:54 | |
Asante is still down in the penalty area. It will be a free-kick for | 2:20:54 | 2:21:04 | |
Cameroon anyway. Anita Asante with another headed effort. I think she | 2:21:04 | 2:21:08 | |
thought she would score. She got the boot from Francine Zouga. If | 2:21:08 | 2:21:13 | |
that is not dangerous play in terms of the boot being raised, why did | 2:21:13 | 2:21:18 | |
not know what is. There is blurred. The referee should have seen it. | 2:21:18 | 2:21:28 | |
head injury, the referee has to stop it. They are looking a lot | 2:21:28 | 2:21:37 | |
better on the ball, Cameroon. It was blocked by Ife Dieke. Cameroon | 2:21:37 | 2:21:44 | |
have the corner. It was good work from Madeleine Ngono Mani. It shows | 2:21:44 | 2:21:48 | |
the quality that Cameroon have going forward. It was good | 2:21:48 | 2:21:58 | |
2:21:58 | 2:21:59 | ||
defending. She has gone down hurting. It was a slight tug. Ife | 2:21:59 | 2:22:04 | |
Dieke is holding her face, I hope it was not a twist and something | 2:22:04 | 2:22:11 | |
badly wrong with the knee. There is the slip, there is no real blame | 2:22:11 | 2:22:20 | |
attached to the Cameroon player, Ajara Nchout. The knee went one way, | 2:22:20 | 2:22:24 | |
the food went the other. I hope that is not as bad as those | 2:22:24 | 2:22:34 | |
2:22:34 | 2:22:45 | ||
Ndom. It is another good save from the Cameroon goalkeeper, she has | 2:22:45 | 2:22:52 | |
been death stand-out player. -- she has been fair stand-out player. | 2:22:52 | 2:22:57 | |
was an excellent effort from Kim Little. She could not get on the | 2:22:58 | 2:23:07 | |
2:23:08 | 2:23:29 | ||
Britain have sealed the win and their place in the quarter-finals. | 2:23:29 | 2:23:37 | |
A thunderous strike. It is great patience by Kim Little. She could | 2:23:37 | 2:23:42 | |
not get a shot off, so she saw where Stephanie Houghton was. She | 2:23:42 | 2:23:49 | |
is not saving that. Two in two, not bad for a left-back! Does a great | 2:23:49 | 2:23:59 | |
2:23:59 | 2:24:03 | ||
We played well enough to win the game. We were disciplined. We | 2:24:03 | 2:24:09 | |
executed it, three goals, it could have been more, I am very satisfied | 2:24:09 | 2:24:14 | |
with the result. I am fairly happy. What did you make of the referee? | 2:24:14 | 2:24:20 | |
The referee saw what she saw, she had a good game. Thankfully, all of | 2:24:20 | 2:24:27 | |
our players are OK, touch wood. It is a hard enough job, we have got | 2:24:27 | 2:24:34 | |
to give them credit. All of our players are OK, thankfully, Kelly | 2:24:34 | 2:24:39 | |
is OK, and everybody else. We have got six points, and now we prepare | 2:24:39 | 2:24:45 | |
for the next game. Could you have had more calls? Yes, in the first | 2:24:45 | 2:24:49 | |
half. In the second half, things changed around, they came at us a | 2:24:49 | 2:24:56 | |
bit more. I am happy we held on, and it is good we added another | 2:24:56 | 2:25:00 | |
goal in the second half. They are talking about 7000 against Brazil | 2:25:00 | 2:25:08 | |
at Wembley. -- 70,000. All of us have dreamed about playing at | 2:25:08 | 2:25:12 | |
Wembley. We have qualified for the quarter-finals, but we want to | 2:25:12 | 2:25:18 | |
finish top of the group. We try to win every game. It will be an | 2:25:18 | 2:25:22 | |
honour for these girls to play at Wembley. We know that Brazil are a | 2:25:22 | 2:25:28 | |
decent side, they won again today. It will be a good contest. It will | 2:25:28 | 2:25:32 | |
give us a barometer of how far we have come. | 2:25:32 | 2:25:37 | |
Some rare good news on day one. Also in action, Brazil and New | 2:25:37 | 2:25:47 | |
2:25:47 | 2:26:00 | ||
All of New Zealand's hard work comes to nothing. In the end, a | 2:26:00 | 2:26:08 | |
moment of true class told. The lob was so accurate and so devastating. | 2:26:08 | 2:26:14 | |
The leading scorer in Olympic history has struck again. It was a | 2:26:14 | 2:26:24 | |
2:26:24 | 2:26:37 | ||
good ball into the box. She carries quarter-finals along with Brazil. | 2:26:37 | 2:26:45 | |
Those teams play on Tuesday at Wembley, they will both want to top | 2:26:45 | 2:26:48 | |
the group, because then they will play one of the best ranked third- | 2:26:48 | 2:26:56 | |
placed teams. The stadium is beautiful, the top at night. They | 2:26:56 | 2:27:04 | |
are getting it ready for the After the terrific result, I am | 2:27:04 | 2:27:09 | |
joined by somebody who should have been part of it. You have got more | 2:27:09 | 2:27:14 | |
important things ahead! I am nearly seven months pregnant, so I missed | 2:27:14 | 2:27:21 | |
out. Any regrets?! I have been struggling with injury problems, I | 2:27:21 | 2:27:29 | |
have had a few operations with my knees. I am getting older as well. | 2:27:29 | 2:27:33 | |
But yes, something like this, you always have those feelings of | 2:27:33 | 2:27:36 | |
wishing you were there. You would have been the captain, we think. | 2:27:37 | 2:27:43 | |
Maybe. They are doing very well. They got off to a brilliant start | 2:27:43 | 2:27:48 | |
against New Zealand. They result today shows they are a hard team to | 2:27:48 | 2:27:55 | |
break down. Brazil struggled to beat them. If that had finished | 2:27:55 | 2:28:03 | |
goalless, we would have been in an even better position. This match to | 2:28:03 | 2:28:07 | |
be played at Wembley, the girls are looking forward to that. There is | 2:28:07 | 2:28:12 | |
talk of it being a big crowd. We have had more opportunities in both | 2:28:12 | 2:28:17 | |
Games to have scored, which is really pleasing. The next few days | 2:28:17 | 2:28:21 | |
of training, they might need to work on their finishing. But yes, | 2:28:21 | 2:28:27 | |
it is good to have six points. to the aspirations lie? How far can | 2:28:27 | 2:28:33 | |
the team go? Certainly medal contenders. With a tournament, it | 2:28:33 | 2:28:38 | |
depends on who you get. You have to be the best team. The biggest | 2:28:38 | 2:28:45 | |
dangers? America, they are the reigning champions, they have been | 2:28:45 | 2:28:49 | |
for the last two Olympics. Brazil, they are strong, they have got to | 2:28:49 | 2:28:54 | |
the finals before, they have a lot of experience. France will be a | 2:28:55 | 2:28:59 | |
danger team, the dark horses, although they lost to America and | 2:28:59 | 2:29:03 | |
the first round. And Japan, the world champions. Which of the | 2:29:03 | 2:29:08 | |
British players have impressed you most so far? Anita Asante has been | 2:29:08 | 2:29:14 | |
brilliant in midfield, she has come in recently instead of Fara | 2:29:14 | 2:29:18 | |
Williams. She could have had three or four goals if she had finished | 2:29:18 | 2:29:23 | |
with her head a bit better. The stand out so far is Stephanie | 2:29:23 | 2:29:32 | |
Houghton. Two goals. We saw her free-kick in the first game, how | 2:29:32 | 2:29:36 | |
good she is with the technique on her white but, but she looks so | 2:29:36 | 2:29:42 | |
confident at the moment, getting forward. She scored again today, | 2:29:42 | 2:29:48 | |
she is seizing the moment. She missed out on two major tournaments | 2:29:48 | 2:29:54 | |
in 2007 and 2009, she is such a positive, happy-go-lucky girl, it | 2:29:54 | 2:30:04 | |
is nice to see her finally getting One of the most popular events up | 2:30:04 | 2:30:07 | |
the game's is always do gymnastics. Qualifying for the men's team event | 2:30:07 | 2:30:13 | |
has been going on all day in three separate sessions. Team GB were out | 2:30:13 | 2:30:23 | |
2:30:23 | 2:30:32 | ||
early at the North Greenwich Arena. his second Vault we are about to | 2:30:32 | 2:30:42 | |
2:30:42 | 2:30:46 | ||
the Vault he hopes will take him into the final. The first four or | 2:30:46 | 2:30:56 | |
2:30:56 | 2:31:17 | ||
round competition. He did that just was untidy. Two elements with feet | 2:31:17 | 2:31:22 | |
slightly apart. He faltered there, just a bit of a step. He has looked | 2:31:22 | 2:31:26 | |
a bit unsettled in training on this apparatus. He will be very pleased | 2:31:26 | 2:31:31 | |
to have fought his way through without major error there. A little | 2:31:31 | 2:31:37 | |
pause there, he has had such a busy season. He won the British | 2:31:37 | 2:31:44 | |
Championships just three 4-4 years ago. A lovely dismount. It was a | 2:31:44 | 2:31:54 | |
bit of a battling performance but he never gives up. 14.733. Kristian | 2:31:54 | 2:32:00 | |
Thomas on high bar. He didn't pick performance at the European | 2:32:00 | 2:32:05 | |
Championships -- he did and epic performance. He saved the day. | 2:32:05 | 2:32:09 | |
he kept his composure was remarkable. We are looking for a | 2:32:09 | 2:32:19 | |
2:32:19 | 2:32:19 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds | 2:32:19 | 2:33:16 | |
Thomas, good and solid, once again. Max Whitlock. 19 years old. The | 2:33:16 | 2:33:26 | |
2:33:26 | 2:33:46 | ||
first European gold for Great confidence of youth, 19 years old. | 2:33:46 | 2:33:56 | |
2:33:56 | 2:34:30 | ||
Class C work. Max Whitlock is thriving in the knowledge -- in the | 2:34:30 | 2:34:37 | |
North Greenwich Arena. Outstanding stuff. He is greeted off the floor, | 2:34:37 | 2:34:42 | |
absolutely delighted. Twisting awareness is amazing. What an open | 2:34:42 | 2:34:52 | |
2:34:52 | 2:34:56 | ||
clever little half turned halfway through the flair. One other | 2:34:56 | 2:35:01 | |
gymnast does it, but not like Max Whitlock. It is a three-quarter | 2:35:01 | 2:35:11 | |
2:35:11 | 2:35:19 | ||
start for Great Britain. He has not done his chances for a place in the | 2:35:19 | 2:35:28 | |
final to much harm. We will see where that puts him. 15.266 for Max | 2:35:28 | 2:35:34 | |
Whitlock and Great Britain. He has the third highest score one for so | 2:35:34 | 2:35:44 | |
2:35:44 | 2:36:08 | ||
far. Kristian Thomas. Another great precise on landing. The difficulty | 2:36:08 | 2:36:18 | |
2:36:18 | 2:36:53 | ||
control. A good low position of the strong, very confident. Great stuff. | 2:36:53 | 2:36:58 | |
This is something else. The finest gymnastics that Great Britain have | 2:36:58 | 2:37:04 | |
ever produced. Really special performance from Kristian Thomas | 2:37:04 | 2:37:09 | |
there. He has been such a steady performer for the British team. A | 2:37:09 | 2:37:14 | |
tall gymnast, he really has to choose the schools carefully on the | 2:37:14 | 2:37:24 | |
2:37:24 | 2:37:27 | ||
impressive because of the extra height they can get. It is a big | 2:37:27 | 2:37:34 | |
ask for them because the space is quite small for them but he had | 2:37:34 | 2:37:42 | |
precision on the landing. 15.366, the third-highest score we have | 2:37:43 | 2:37:49 | |
seen on the floor this morning. This is Great Britain's Louis Smith. | 2:37:49 | 2:37:59 | |
2:37:59 | 2:37:59 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds | 2:37:59 | 2:38:52 | |
but this is where it can all be Louis Smith. That deserves a final | 2:38:52 | 2:38:56 | |
place. He will be absolutely chuffed. Louis Smith, the Olympic | 2:38:56 | 2:39:06 | |
2:39:06 | 2:39:11 | ||
bronze medallist. He has the chance he could not perform today, all the | 2:39:11 | 2:39:17 | |
talk was for nothing because to date is way you make that final and | 2:39:17 | 2:39:21 | |
I think for all the gymnasts this is the pressure day. He has worked | 2:39:21 | 2:39:27 | |
on his line so much. Much-improved, legs lovely and tight together. | 2:39:27 | 2:39:32 | |
Liked you say, the difficulty might be slightly down but the | 2:39:32 | 2:39:42 | |
2:39:42 | 2:39:48 | ||
little bit more difficulty and nails the landing and look at the | 2:39:48 | 2:39:55 | |
relief in his face. That is sheer relief. Now, a little bit of | 2:39:55 | 2:40:00 | |
emotion. He is overcome. support and relief of what he has | 2:40:00 | 2:40:06 | |
achieved. 15.8, Louise Smith is in the Olympic pommel horse final and | 2:40:06 | 2:40:09 | |
he has a chance to go better than the bronze he got in Beijing -- | 2:40:09 | 2:40:19 | |
2:40:19 | 2:40:20 | ||
Louis Smith. Wonderful stuff. You out qualified the world and | 2:40:20 | 2:40:24 | |
Olympic champions in China. You must be feeling fantastic? We felt | 2:40:24 | 2:40:27 | |
ready for a long time and we did not worry about what other people | 2:40:27 | 2:40:31 | |
were doing. We concentrated on us. We stood together as a team. We did | 2:40:31 | 2:40:35 | |
not care what was going on around us. We fed off the crowd. People | 2:40:35 | 2:40:40 | |
here were fantastic. We proved today what we can do. If you do | 2:40:40 | 2:40:44 | |
qualify as we expect, the first GB men's to qualify for an Olympic | 2:40:44 | 2:40:49 | |
final, what can this team achieve? The talent in this team is | 2:40:49 | 2:40:52 | |
unbelievable. We don't go out and say where we want to come, we we | 2:40:52 | 2:40:57 | |
just do our best but we have a special group of boys here and if | 2:40:57 | 2:41:02 | |
we can do it by today, we can upset the competition. Let me ask | 2:41:02 | 2:41:06 | |
Kristian Thomas a couple of questions. Top qualifier in the | 2:41:06 | 2:41:11 | |
all-rounder in this sub-division. You are on fire? Thank you. This is | 2:41:11 | 2:41:15 | |
no fluke. We have put the hours in the gym, the blood, sweat and tears. | 2:41:15 | 2:41:18 | |
It feels good to show the audience what we have been working on and | 2:41:18 | 2:41:25 | |
doing. We will be in the team final, we will get our head time -- head | 2:41:25 | 2:41:29 | |
down and focus on that. GARY LINEKAR: Well done, gentleman. | 2:41:29 | 2:41:33 | |
Through to the final. The gymnastics is still going on, the | 2:41:33 | 2:41:39 | |
final session. You can watch it on BBC Three. There is plenty of other | 2:41:39 | 2:41:49 | |
2:41:49 | 2:41:51 | ||
ways to watch live events tonight the BBC Sport Olympic website. | 2:41:51 | 2:41:57 | |
There is that flame, that magical moment, 24 hours ago almost. The | 2:41:57 | 2:42:01 | |
flame, the torch was lit and the Olympics got under way. It is quite | 2:42:01 | 2:42:10 | |
I am rejoined by Amir Khan. No success for Britain yet in the | 2:42:10 | 2:42:15 | |
Olympics? No success, but it will come back strong, we will come out | 2:42:15 | 2:42:20 | |
stronger. We have the home nation advantage and the fans he was | 2:42:20 | 2:42:23 | |
supporting us, so in a couple of days the medals will start rolling | 2:42:23 | 2:42:28 | |
in. You are a man who knows what it is like to win a medal, silver in | 2:42:28 | 2:42:33 | |
Athens eight years ago. A long time. Time flies. Describe the experience | 2:42:33 | 2:42:41 | |
of winning that. You were the only boxer who won? I was the only boxer | 2:42:41 | 2:42:44 | |
in the 2004 Athens Olympics and I had to qualify, go through the | 2:42:44 | 2:42:48 | |
procedure. It was tough to qualify, but when I was there I was on my | 2:42:48 | 2:42:54 | |
own, 17 years old. I was tough, fighting against men. Men who were | 2:42:54 | 2:42:58 | |
older and physically stronger than me, so I had to use skill to win | 2:42:58 | 2:43:02 | |
the fight. I was lucky and got to win the silver medal. I lost out in | 2:43:03 | 2:43:08 | |
the final against the legend, the Cuban fighter. But from that I | 2:43:08 | 2:43:13 | |
learned so much, the experience I got changed my life. We have seen | 2:43:13 | 2:43:17 | |
so many great boxers come through the Olympics. It is the only sport | 2:43:17 | 2:43:22 | |
not open to professionals. That is right, the only sport not open for | 2:43:22 | 2:43:27 | |
professionals. I imagine if it was, you would have myself in their and | 2:43:27 | 2:43:32 | |
others. Do you wish it was, would you like another go? I wish it was, | 2:43:32 | 2:43:36 | |
this is London and it would be amazing. If I had known that the | 2:43:36 | 2:43:42 | |
Olympics might be at London in 2012, I might have stayed. I am 25. I am | 2:43:42 | 2:43:46 | |
young. There is a lot of professionals who turn professional | 2:43:46 | 2:43:50 | |
at 25, but I did it earlier. There has been good investment in boxing | 2:43:50 | 2:43:53 | |
and we are seeing the rewards. We have a lot of fighters with a | 2:43:53 | 2:43:58 | |
chance, haven't we? We have ten fighters who have qualified, women | 2:43:58 | 2:44:01 | |
boxers involved, amateurs, it is the first time they are competing | 2:44:01 | 2:44:06 | |
in the Olympic Games. Boxing is going up and up and we have over | 2:44:06 | 2:44:11 | |
eight guys who have qualified. They all look great, favourites to get | 2:44:11 | 2:44:15 | |
medals. They have a great chance of getting a medal. It is about | 2:44:15 | 2:44:19 | |
staying focused. Today, one of the fighters fought and had a great | 2:44:19 | 2:44:24 | |
performance, Anthony Ogogo, who I think will win a medal if he keeps | 2:44:24 | 2:44:29 | |
focus and keeps winning. We will see that in a few moments. What is | 2:44:29 | 2:44:33 | |
the key to being successful in an Olympic Games? You were very | 2:44:33 | 2:44:36 | |
experienced at that time. What did you learn from that particular | 2:44:36 | 2:44:41 | |
experience? I learnt a lot from going to the Olympic Games. When I | 2:44:42 | 2:44:46 | |
went there I was isolated, away from my friends and family, I | 2:44:46 | 2:44:49 | |
turned by mobile phones off and I focused on my job. The two weeks, | 2:44:49 | 2:44:55 | |
it is the biggest two weeks of my life and I had to focus and not | 2:44:55 | 2:44:58 | |
make any mistakes because I might never get a chance to go to the | 2:44:58 | 2:45:01 | |
Olympics again. I knew in a way if I did really well it could change | 2:45:01 | 2:45:07 | |
my life around, which it did. Or you have to do is stay focused, | 2:45:07 | 2:45:11 | |
stick to training hard, working hard and I think I'm working hard | 2:45:11 | 2:45:15 | |
you will get to the top. The I have to ask you did before I let you go, | 2:45:15 | 2:45:21 | |
you will be back, world champion again? Confident? Definitely, I am | 2:45:21 | 2:45:26 | |
only 25. 100%, I will be back and I will win a world We Shall Overcome | 2:45:26 | 2:45:30 | |
and bring it back to Britain. That is what we want, it is a big year | 2:45:30 | 2:45:35 | |
for us. I will try to get a rematch. If not, I will fight for the world | 2:45:35 | 2:45:39 | |
We Shall Overcome soon. We wish you all the best in the future and | 2:45:39 | 2:45:43 | |
thank you for joining us. Let's see what has been happening in the ring | 2:45:43 | 2:45:48 | |
today. Action one of seven boxers with a medal possibilities, Amir | 2:45:48 | 2:45:56 | |
Khan has given a result away! The middleweight Anthony Ogogo to come | 2:45:57 | 2:45:59 | |
Castillo Martinez from the Dominican Republic. We join the | 2:45:59 | 2:46:09 | |
2:46:09 | 2:46:18 | ||
Anthony Ogogo leads, 3-2. Having worked so hard to secure the | 2:46:18 | 2:46:23 | |
Olympic qualification, just the top two came through out of the | 2:46:23 | 2:46:29 | |
European qualifiers, he overturned a seven-point deficit in the | 2:46:29 | 2:46:33 | |
quarter-final and he made it through. He was faced with what he | 2:46:33 | 2:46:37 | |
considered to be the hardest decision of his life, his mother | 2:46:37 | 2:46:41 | |
suffering from a serious illness, so serious, he considered | 2:46:41 | 2:46:46 | |
withdrawing from the Olympics. After taking Council from his | 2:46:46 | 2:46:52 | |
family, he decided to compete. His mother is his ultimate inspiration, | 2:46:52 | 2:47:00 | |
and here he is. He has had it tough of late, with the family affair. | 2:47:00 | 2:47:08 | |
But his head is right, that is important. This is it, this is his | 2:47:08 | 2:47:17 | |
chance, the stage is set. A good right hand. It was his leading | 2:47:17 | 2:47:25 | |
right hand. A really effective offensive weapon against the South | 2:47:25 | 2:47:32 | |
Pole. He used it beautifully. After the World Championships, he failed | 2:47:32 | 2:47:38 | |
to make the qualification stages. He lost to the eventual bronze- | 2:47:38 | 2:47:43 | |
medallist from Brazil. He underwent shoulder surgery. It was a race | 2:47:43 | 2:47:48 | |
against time to make it back. He took his rehab very seriously, he | 2:47:49 | 2:47:55 | |
worked intensely, and now, here he is. He needs to increase the work | 2:47:55 | 2:48:01 | |
rate. He is not working hard enough. The pace is suiting his opponent a | 2:48:01 | 2:48:06 | |
bit better. He is keeping his guard tight, but he has got to throw more | 2:48:06 | 2:48:11 | |
punches in clusters. There are too many singles, and not enough of | 2:48:11 | 2:48:21 | |
2:48:21 | 2:48:33 | ||
Ogogo. His opponent is proving difficult to pin down. A good right | 2:48:33 | 2:48:40 | |
hand to the body from Anthony Ogogo. His opponent is a typical | 2:48:40 | 2:48:46 | |
counterpuncher. He likes a more leisurely pace. He does not like a | 2:48:46 | 2:48:50 | |
high tempo, he likes to dictate things on the back foot, and that | 2:48:50 | 2:48:53 | |
is why Anthony Ogogo has got to throw more punches and increase the | 2:48:53 | 2:49:03 | |
2:49:03 | 2:49:05 | ||
were great. -- increase the work rate. His opponent finished in | 2:49:05 | 2:49:15 | |
2:49:15 | 2:49:17 | ||
second place in the Americas qualification. That was not bad. He | 2:49:17 | 2:49:22 | |
should back his man up a bit more. It is as cagey as the first round | 2:49:22 | 2:49:31 | |
was. A couple of afters. opponent but the hand up at the end | 2:49:31 | 2:49:41 | |

of the round, he feels confident. round. His opponent got through | 2:49:47 | 2:49:53 | |
with that second shot, the right hand, but Anthony Ogogo's guard is | 2:49:53 | 2:49:59 | |
tight. The lovely straight right hand. That was a well-timed punch, | 2:49:59 | 2:50:05 | |
through with accuracy and speed. He is boxing at long range. It is a | 2:50:05 | 2:50:10 | |
bit scrappy from Anthony Ogogo. Not a lot landed. But he is ahead, that | 2:50:11 | 2:50:20 | |
is the main thing. Confirmation, 5- 1, in the second round. He has a | 2:50:20 | 2:50:28 | |
five point advantage, 83. -- 8-3. Anthony Ogogo getting the crowd | 2:50:28 | 2:50:33 | |
behind him, that is the way. crowd have responded to begin the | 2:50:33 | 2:50:38 | |
final round. The opening bout of the men's middleweight competition, | 2:50:38 | 2:50:47 | |
75 kgs. Anthony Ogogo of Great Britain. He is leading by five | 2:50:47 | 2:50:52 | |
points after two completed rounds. There will be a change of tactics | 2:50:52 | 2:50:59 | |
from his opponent, he will start to come forward, and that might suit a | 2:50:59 | 2:51:06 | |
-- to be a bit better. He has got to sit back, get the timing right, | 2:51:06 | 2:51:16 | |
2:51:16 | 2:51:22 | ||
relaxed now, he is waving his hands around by his waistband. He is out | 2:51:22 | 2:51:28 | |
of range at the moment, so no harm. Anthony Ogogo has tasted global | 2:51:28 | 2:51:36 | |
success before, the world cadet champion in 2005. He would love to | 2:51:36 | 2:51:39 | |
replicate this in the Olympic Games. He does not need to be taking any | 2:51:39 | 2:51:46 | |
risks. Nothing is getting through with those shots. He needs to wait | 2:51:46 | 2:51:53 | |
for his opponent to come in. He does not need to do anything silly. | 2:51:53 | 2:51:57 | |
Do not take any risks, just boxed sensibly and wait for your man to | 2:51:57 | 2:52:07 | |
2:52:07 | 2:52:09 | ||
come. The crowd really beginning to rouse Anthony Ogogo now. A | 2:52:09 | 2:52:19 | |
fantastic left hook. That was a well-timed shot from Anthony Ogogo. | 2:52:19 | 2:52:29 | |
2:52:29 | 2:52:31 | ||
Waiting for his opponent to come in. He fell short with the attack. | 2:52:31 | 2:52:37 | |
more, he turned the corner with it. Right on the point of the chin. | 2:52:37 | 2:52:47 | |
2:52:47 | 2:53:02 | ||
Some desperation at from the the Dominican drops his right hand, | 2:53:02 | 2:53:08 | |
leaving him open with the left it. Better work from Anthony Ogogo. | 2:53:08 | 2:53:17 | |
is warming to his task now. He has to chase this contest. The openings | 2:53:17 | 2:53:24 | |
are being exploited ruthlessly by Anthony Ogogo. He clearly has | 2:53:24 | 2:53:28 | |
secured his passage through to the second round. We await confirmation, | 2:53:29 | 2:53:33 | |
but he has boxed beautifully in this opening contest against the | 2:53:33 | 2:53:40 | |
man from the Dominican Republic. The bell has sounded, to bring an | 2:53:40 | 2:53:47 | |
end to the contest. I suspect the Dominican is raising his arms more | 2:53:48 | 2:53:53 | |
in hope than expectation. Anthony Ogogo breaks out into a smile. They | 2:53:53 | 2:53:58 | |
feel he has done enough to earn his first win at the London 2012 | 2:53:58 | 2:54:07 | |
Very promising. The big story in terms of the British team, the | 2:54:07 | 2:54:11 | |
disappointment in the cycling road race. We can hear from the | 2:54:11 | 2:54:15 | |
performance director, David Brailsford. | 2:54:15 | 2:54:22 | |
Take us through the race from your perspective. To be fair, up until | 2:54:22 | 2:54:30 | |
the top of the final climb, we were looking good. I was happy. I | 2:54:30 | 2:54:34 | |
thought that the way the race panned out, they stuck to the plan, | 2:54:34 | 2:54:41 | |
the did everything we talked about, and around in minute over the top, | 2:54:41 | 2:54:48 | |
we thought, actually, it is game on, but it was not to be. With | 2:54:48 | 2:54:51 | |
hindsight, really disappointing that it did not come back for a | 2:54:51 | 2:54:56 | |
sprint. When you have got four or five guys trying to control the | 2:54:57 | 2:55:00 | |
race for two won in 50 kilometres, when a lot of the teams know you | 2:55:00 | 2:55:06 | |
have got the best sprinter, it is not easy -- for 250 kilometres. But | 2:55:06 | 2:55:11 | |
it was impressive. You have been so successful, and everybody knows | 2:55:11 | 2:55:17 | |
Mark Cavendish is the fastest, so it makes the job all the harder. | 2:55:17 | 2:55:22 | |
is disappointing, but we have got to dust ourselves down, look at | 2:55:22 | 2:55:26 | |
whether we could have done anything differently. When the second move | 2:55:26 | 2:55:32 | |
went on the final climb, maybe we could have gone with that. Our | 2:55:32 | 2:55:37 | |
chance to win this race was to get it as a sprint for Mark Cavendish. | 2:55:37 | 2:55:42 | |
I am not sure how else we could have won the race. That was what we | 2:55:42 | 2:55:47 | |
started. If you want to win big, and that is what we try to do, you | 2:55:47 | 2:55:52 | |
have got to be prepared to lose similarly bid. You have got to take | 2:55:52 | 2:55:57 | |
your hat off to the other riders and teams, it was not to be for us, | 2:55:57 | 2:56:02 | |
but we will try again. I have never seen a crowd like that, as many | 2:56:02 | 2:56:07 | |
Union Jacks. You feel that you have let people down. But that is the | 2:56:07 | 2:56:14 | |
first medal of 18. We still have 17 to go. From my point of view, we | 2:56:14 | 2:56:21 | |
start this evening with the girls' team, the same enthusiasm and | 2:56:21 | 2:56:27 | |
vigour, and I am sure everybody is ready to go. | 2:56:27 | 2:56:37 | |
2:56:37 | 2:56:39 | ||
Our time will come. That is it for China, especially in the swimming | 2:56:39 | 2:56:43 | |
pool, two gold medals, including their first in the men's events. | 2:56:43 | 2:56:47 | |
That incredible gold medal for Italy in the archery, they have to | 2:56:47 | 2:56:55 | |
shoot a balls live with the last Arab, and they did it. -- with the | 2:56:55 | 2:57:03 | |
last arrow. Ryan Lochte, the only gold medal for the United States. | 2:57:03 | 2:57:12 | |
Australia won their first in the The beach volleyball is still going | 2:57:12 | 2:57:19 | |
on on Horse Guards Parade, great scenes there. That will be part of | 2:57:19 | 2:57:25 | |
the programme after us, it has to be post-watershed! After the news, | 2:57:25 | 2:57:31 | |
Gabby Logan will be here with Michael Johnson, John McEnroe and | 2:57:31 | 2:57:36 | |
Dame Kelly Holmes, 10:30pm. No medals for Britain, we are good at | 2:57:36 | 2:57:46 | |
