HAZEL IRVINE: 80,000 people can feel the energy pulsating through

HUW EDWARDS: The Olympic Rings are forged.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

0:01:390:02:28

What a picture, what a site, and what a moment for these athletes.

0:02:280:02:38
0:02:380:03:04

Last night, Danny Boyle gave us a show to make Britain proud. It was

0:03:040:03:08

watched by millions all over the world, including 26 million of you

0:03:080:03:13

on the BBC. Today, attention switches to the swimming arena, and

0:03:130:03:21

all eyes on one athlete. He has won 14 of these little beauties, and he

0:03:210:03:31
0:03:310:03:31

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

0:03:310:04:32

He has got it! And that is it, eight it straight gold medals for

0:04:320:04:35

Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps is the greatest. Absolutely brilliant,

0:04:350:04:45

Good evening. It promises to be an enthralling night in the pool, but

0:04:450:04:49

there are doubts as to whether Superman retains his palace, after

0:04:490:04:55

he only just scraped into the final. Michael Phelps goes for gold

0:04:550:04:59

against teammate Ryan Lochte, who beat him in last year's US national

0:04:590:05:09
0:05:090:05:24

Team GB's Hannah Miley is a genuine medal contender in the women's 400m

0:05:240:05:34
0:05:340:05:34

individual medley final. Team GB's women's footballers were targeting

0:05:340:05:44

a quarter-final place, if they could beat Cameroon. We will see

0:05:440:05:54
0:05:540:05:54

how middleweight boxer Anthony Ogogo fared in his opening bout.

0:05:540:05:59

Not so brilliant sport to look forward to, with the swimming

0:05:590:06:07

taking the plunge at 7:30pm, and that dominates our show tonight.

0:06:070:06:13

There's only one place to start, and that's with the cycling, but we

0:06:130:06:17

will wait a bit for that. We have got a review of the Opening

0:06:170:06:24

Ceremony later on, taking us up to Ceremony later on, taking us up to

0:06:240:06:27

9pm. Then we have got the women's football gymnastics, always great

0:06:270:06:37
0:06:370:06:39

to watch, at 9:25pm. Then we will rounded up with boxing. We start

0:06:390:06:44

with cycling, and the much anticipated road race. The hopes of

0:06:440:06:54
0:06:540:07:14

COMMENTATOR: Mark Cavendish, he is the world champion! It is a once-

0:07:140:07:24
0:07:240:07:30

We have got a bit of an attack on here. Trying to inject some pace

0:07:310:07:40
0:07:410:07:43

of... There's a in the road bends and, very dangerous indeed. A lot

0:07:430:07:46

of conversation going on between the British team, trying to decide

0:07:460:07:56
0:07:560:08:03

This is the palate and, which is being led by Chris Froome. They are

0:08:030:08:13
0:08:130:08:19

trailing the leading group, of some There's a real Chase on now. Great

0:08:190:08:22

Britain are really applying the pressure, to limit the leader of

0:08:220:08:27

that group which has given the peloton to slip. The whole thing

0:08:270:08:32

has been condensed into two minutes now. It really is an impressive

0:08:320:08:38

piece of work, to have just four guys control the peloton. If they

0:08:380:08:41

could pull this off, it would be one of the most extraordinary

0:08:410:08:51
0:08:510:08:52

things I have seen in sport. They are looking down the barrel now. We

0:08:530:08:58

have got about 24 miles of racing left. That is less than an hour

0:08:580:09:03

before we crown the Olympic gold- medallist in London. Bradley

0:09:030:09:08

Wiggins has got to work now, they wanted to save him for the sprint,

0:09:080:09:12

but this group up the road, it is just way too dangerous. They need

0:09:120:09:20

to get on top of it as quickly as possible. Alarm bells are ringing,

0:09:200:09:24

and that's because this is very, very dangerous for Great Britain.

0:09:240:09:28

They are running out of distance. They know it. They could do with

0:09:280:09:33

somebody to come through and help with the workload. Mark Cavendish's

0:09:330:09:38

gold-medal chances are slipping away here. Oh, there's a crash!

0:09:380:09:43

They have gone into the barriers! Well, one of the big favourites has

0:09:430:09:50

gone out. He is one of the best bike riders in the world, and

0:09:500:09:57

that's really going to change the course of the base. That was Fabian

0:09:570:10:00

Cancellara going out. This race would appear to be over for the

0:10:000:10:07

British guys now. Look at this for an attack on the left, a downhill

0:10:070:10:14

attack! CHRIS BOARDMAN: Bradley Wiggins

0:10:140:10:23

worked incredibly hard for his team, he is spent. He looks as cross, as

0:10:230:10:30

much as to say, who is going to win this? He caught him lapping there.

0:10:300:10:36

Coming up to the line to take the gold medal! Vinokourov so is the

0:10:360:10:44

Olympic champion! Yes, unbelievable. Great Britain worked so hard all

0:10:440:10:48

day, but it just slipped away in the closing stages. The team could

0:10:490:10:53

do no more for you, but at times, it seemed as if the rest of the

0:10:530:10:57

world was up against Great Britain. That is what we can put it down to.

0:10:570:11:02

Nobody wants to help. It seems like most teams, they are happy not to

0:11:020:11:07

win, as long as we do not win. Joining us, Chris Boardman, who

0:11:070:11:12

watched that raise very closely indeed - where did it all go wrong,

0:11:120:11:16

they were never in it? It is a bit of a cliche, but they were a victim

0:11:160:11:21

of their own success. They employed exactly the same tactics, it is

0:11:210:11:26

just one script, we are all here to work for one person, Mark Cavendish,

0:11:260:11:29

just like they did at the World Championships last year. And it

0:11:290:11:34

worked. In the Tour de France, they batted everybody. So today, every

0:11:340:11:37

time somebody went up the road, everybody else turned around and

0:11:370:11:42

said, go on, you chase them. It is more that they did not help them.

0:11:430:11:47

They did not help themselves, actually. 33 guys went into that

0:11:470:11:57

final breakaway, and that where the winner came from. But the Germans,

0:11:570:11:59

including the second best sprinter in the world at the moment, they

0:11:590:12:04

just sat back as well, saving everybody for the sprint finish at

0:12:040:12:07

the end, but it did not happen. It needed more than four people to

0:12:070:12:12

chase back 33. Did they get their tactics wrong, in the sense that,

0:12:120:12:16

did they not see that nobody was going to help them? Could they have

0:12:160:12:21

closed the gap earlier? Once the group has gone away, there is

0:12:210:12:25

nothing you can do about it. With four people, you can influence a

0:12:250:12:29

race, but you cannot control it. In last year's World Championships,

0:12:290:12:34

there was eight of them. That makes a difference. The problem with Mark,

0:12:340:12:39

nobody wants to arrive on the last 200 metres on the Mall with Mark

0:12:390:12:43

Cavendish, because you will be finishing second. It is a real

0:12:430:12:47

shame for him, isn't it? It is very much out of his control, relying on

0:12:470:12:51

the team. It is totally out of his control. He could not have done

0:12:510:12:56

anything else. He has been out practising on the course. Was it

0:12:560:12:59

the Tour de France, the success, the amount it might have taken out

0:12:590:13:04

of the team? I think they were in good shape, actually. It is just

0:13:040:13:08

literally, the other riders decided not to contribute to the race, and

0:13:080:13:12

they lost out as well. It is a real shame for Mark Cavendish, isn't it?

0:13:120:13:19

He lost out four years ago, and now it has happened again. That's it

0:13:190:13:24

for this Games as well. Yes, it was the only Olympic Games he will see

0:13:240:13:32

in his lifetime. It was a massive opportunity. But it is opposite

0:13:330:13:38

sides of the same coin. Cancellara fell off, and he was one of the big

0:13:380:13:42

riders as well. He was due to be a big rival for Bradley Wiggins in

0:13:420:13:46

the time-trial. Yes, this guy is one of the best bike and was in the

0:13:470:13:51

world. He knocked his back wheel, then lost his front one, and hit

0:13:510:13:55

the barrier. I suspect he could have even broken his collarbone.

0:13:550:13:59

That would mean he would be out of the time trial. The winner,

0:13:590:14:04

Vinokourov, previously banned, of course. Yes, he has served a

0:14:040:14:07

suspension, which is quite contentious, so it will be

0:14:070:14:11

interesting to see what the press do with that one. But today, he was

0:14:110:14:15

allowed to ride, it was his only victory this year, I think.

0:14:150:14:19

Tomorrow, we have got the women's race - how do you see Britain's

0:14:190:14:25

chances, with Nicole Cooke? She is a bit of an individual, isn't she?

0:14:250:14:32

Yes, she is feisty, coming just, and a winner, above all else. --

0:14:320:14:37

courageous. She will probably attack early. If it is altogether

0:14:370:14:44

at the end, then it will be Lizzie Armitstead in the Sprint. There are

0:14:440:14:52

a few more headlines now. Great Britain's Helen Glover and Heather

0:14:520:14:59

Stanning got their quest for a first female rowing gold off to a

0:14:590:15:05

great start. They set an Olympic record. The men's eight finished

0:15:050:15:09

second behind Germany, in a very competitive heat. They get another

0:15:090:15:18

chance to qualify for the final on Monday. A late burst of speed from

0:15:180:15:21

Great Britain's lightweight four saw them narrowly winning their

0:15:210:15:31
0:15:310:15:32

heat ahead of Australia. Italy took a dramatic gold in the men's team

0:15:320:15:42
0:15:420:15:59

The first gold medal was won for China this morning.

0:15:590:16:02

It is the first night of the swimming finals, and the man who 12

0:16:020:16:07

years ago was head, shoulders and extremely large feet in front of

0:16:070:16:16

everyone else in the pool has resurfaced for us. Ian Thorpe, 17

0:16:160:16:20

years of age, is going to win Australia's first gold of this

0:16:200:16:26

competition. To perform in front of a home crowd? It is not easy.

0:16:260:16:33

unbelievable swim. I cannot believe it. That is sensational.

0:16:330:16:35

Performance is one thing, performance under pressure is

0:16:350:16:45

something else. He has done it! Entering the water, you are your

0:16:450:16:55
0:16:550:16:56

own. The crowd are willing him on. Four years of hard work, four years

0:16:560:17:06
0:17:060:17:09

of dedication, for one moment. a god here is. That is incredible.

0:17:090:17:14

He really is a superhero. London 2012, the best of British luck to

0:17:140:17:18

you. With the first swimming final of the Olympic Games just 15

0:17:180:17:22

minutes away, who better to look forward to with than the man

0:17:220:17:27

himself? Ian Thorpe joins us. You could have been swimming in these

0:17:270:17:34

games yourself. I wish I was. that I am here and I feel the buzz,

0:17:340:17:39

it is disappointing. But I had the second-best alternative, being here

0:17:390:17:44

and able to watch it all on TV. happens to us all. There comes a

0:17:440:17:48

time when things do not work the way they used to. Is that what you

0:17:480:17:58
0:17:580:17:58

found? No. I am still swimming. And I will continue. I wanted to get

0:17:580:18:03

back to where I was, so it is not over yet. How have you found it

0:18:030:18:08

here, the Aquatics Centre? Good arena? P to four Arena. It is a

0:18:080:18:13

stunning building, like many of the venues around the park. Some

0:18:130:18:20

impressive times are being produced. There is the potential to cease

0:18:200:18:26

when records fall. All the talk is about Michael Phelps. He is an

0:18:260:18:29

extraordinary swimmer who has achieved so many more golds. He

0:18:290:18:33

needs three more medals to get more than anyone else. But the signs

0:18:330:18:37

were not good this morning. already consider him the greatest

0:18:370:18:41

Olympian. But three makes it official on every count you can

0:18:410:18:46

have. This morning, he qualified by 7 hundredths of a second, putting

0:18:460:18:49

him a long way separate from his training partner Ryan Lochte, who

0:18:490:18:54

he will be up against tonight. He did look sluggish, but he was

0:18:540:19:01

backing off a bit in the backstroke. So he has got room to improve.

0:19:010:19:06

is on the outside in lane eight. Is that a disadvantage? It can be an

0:19:060:19:12

advantage or a disadvantage. I qualified for a final in Athens by

0:19:120:19:17

one hundredths of a second, and I came third her. For me, it was an

0:19:170:19:25

advantage. Michael Wills won it the way he wants to. He knows his

0:19:250:19:30

training partner has to swim his own race as well, so we will see

0:19:300:19:35

the tactics. Far it is unusual in swimming to get two training

0:19:350:19:40

partners who are right up there. Very unusual. How was Lochte

0:19:400:19:45

tonight? They must do sessions apart, otherwise they would be

0:19:450:19:50

swimming exactly the same way and it would not be healthy. But the

0:19:500:19:53

rivalry they must have been training spurred them on. With the

0:19:530:19:57

domination that Phelps has enjoyed for so long, his partner must

0:19:570:20:02

always look up to him and think, you are the man, and have an

0:20:020:20:07

inferiority complex? I don't see Lochte being intimidated by Phelps

0:20:070:20:13

or vice versa. Looking at how Lochte has performed, I do not

0:20:130:20:17

think there is any inferiority there. I think they will both win a

0:20:170:20:23

stack of medals. That is not good for the rest of us. There was some

0:20:230:20:33

criticism about Phelps' attitude. Some said he relies on talent and

0:20:330:20:38

needs to do more. I disagreed with that. Michael Phelps is one of the

0:20:380:20:42

hardest trainers there are, the same as Lochte. Few people could

0:20:430:20:48

criticise Michael Fox on the training he does. Out of the four

0:20:480:20:52

finals taking place at the Aquatics Centre this evening, the only

0:20:520:20:55

realistic British medal hope is Hannah Miley in the 400m individual

0:20:550:21:00

medley. She is known as smiley Mailey, and if she gets on the

0:21:000:21:06

podium tonight, she will be highly smiley. It is going to be really

0:21:060:21:13

tight. Well done, Hannah Miley, silver! It is going to be Hannah

0:21:130:21:20

Miley! A wonderful gold. difficult is it to be coached by

0:21:200:21:24

your dad? He is very calm, and so are you? I have not really known it

0:21:250:21:28

any other way. He has always been my coat. He was the first person to

0:21:280:21:34

get me in the pool and told me how to swim. It was not until I was 10

0:21:340:21:38

or 12 that I started going through the squad system. I thought it was

0:21:380:21:41

the most normal thing. I fully trust that he knows what he is

0:21:410:21:45

talking about, so for me to argue with him or think otherwise is

0:21:450:21:49

silly, because he has so much knowledge and always wants to learn

0:21:490:21:56

more. That trust by have for him is one of the reasons why it works.

0:21:560:21:59

new guise to a training programme that is different to everyone else.

0:21:590:22:04

Yes, I work with the motto that if you do what you have always done,

0:22:040:22:11

you will get what you have always done - my God. So we try to do

0:22:110:22:16

something different. Two years ago, I took up rock-climbing and I have

0:22:160:22:21

continued that. Then I started running. We have added different

0:22:210:22:25

things to it. I am one of those athletes who is a sucker for

0:22:250:22:34

punishment. I tend to keep going and I work best that way. For my

0:22:340:22:39

event, it works. Who is your main rival? Do you have an eye on

0:22:390:22:45

people? You ask, there are quite a few. I am very where -- very aware

0:22:450:22:55
0:22:550:22:55

of someone who is not far behind me in the rankings. There is also the

0:22:550:23:03

Spanish girl. There are the two Chinese girls. So there are a fair

0:23:030:23:08

few, and I am very aware of them. It is very tactical and strategic.

0:23:080:23:15

That is what makes it fun. We wish her well. What were your

0:23:150:23:21

training facilities like in Australia? I had a terrible pooled,

0:23:220:23:26

a five Lane Poole which I learned to swim in until I was 14. I made

0:23:260:23:34

the national team's winning in a terrible pool. She has to kneel in

0:23:340:23:40

the shallow end a, north of Aberdeen. I can appreciate a small

0:23:410:23:46

pool. It is tough for her, certainly to get gold. But a medal

0:23:460:23:51

would be a terrific start. Why is it tough? For her, she will use it

0:23:510:23:59

to her advantage. I think she is in with a shot to get a medal tonight.

0:23:590:24:05

We hope so. It is time we moved a couple of hundred yards across the

0:24:050:24:09

Olympic Park to the Aquatics Centre. We have come a long way since

0:24:090:24:12

London first have to be games over a century ago, when the swimming

0:24:120:24:15

pool was in the centre of the running track, which probably made

0:24:150:24:19

the javelin competition interesting. Time to say hello to our swimming

0:24:190:24:26

team, Mark Foster and Clare Balding. We are here inside this beautiful

0:24:260:24:29

Zaha Hadid designed Aquatics Centre, the underbelly of a whale is what

0:24:290:24:33

this Ruth is based on. Huge excitement here, Mark, because the

0:24:330:24:37

First Lady, Michelle Obama, just walked past. We had the Queen this

0:24:370:24:42

morning, and now the First Lady. It is all happening. The reason why

0:24:420:24:47

Michelle Obama is here is because this is the line-up tonight. What a

0:24:470:24:50

sensation on that of finals, the first night at the swimming. It

0:24:500:25:00
0:25:000:25:39

starts with a big head to head, Weather it is Nadal against Federer

0:25:390:25:43

or Seb Coe against Steve Ovett, we love a sporting rivalry, and

0:25:430:25:46

swimming can really savour this one, because we have the defending

0:25:460:25:50

champion, the seemingly unbeatable Phelps, up against the rising wave

0:25:500:26:00
0:26:000:26:25

that is Ryan Lochte. It is time for I think he really brings every

0:26:250:26:32

ounce of energy out of me. I think by all means that we are better

0:26:320:26:37

because of each other. We both hate to lose. We will do everything we

0:26:370:26:43

can when we are racing to get our hand on the wall first. I have

0:26:430:26:49

gotten a lot faster. I can compete with him. But no matter what, we

0:26:500:26:55

will still be friends. When we go to swimming heats, we'd hang out.

0:26:550:26:59

But other than that, I honestly don't care what he is doing, and he

0:26:590:27:04

probably doesn't care what I am doing. We are just going to focus

0:27:040:27:10

on ourselves and get ready. I have always wanted to take the sport of

0:27:100:27:15

swimming to a new level, but also do things no one has done before.

0:27:150:27:22

That has given me a lot of hunger and made me work harder. I kind of

0:27:220:27:26

just go out there, do what I love to do and just race. That is fun to

0:27:260:27:33

me. I never get nervous, I get excited. I don't want to look back

0:27:330:27:37

on my career and have what ifs. I am just trying to go out, enjoy

0:27:370:27:42

myself and represent my country as best I can and have fun doing it.

0:27:420:27:48

If I win, I win. If I lose, I lose. I will still be the same person.

0:27:480:27:54

Whatever happens, happens. And one of the main reasons that Michelle

0:27:540:28:00

Obama is here is that this looks like being team USA's first gold

0:28:000:28:03

medal of these Olympics. They were beaten in the archery earlier this

0:28:030:28:07

evening. It is almost certain that Ryan Lochte or Michael Phelps will

0:28:070:28:12

win this race, because they are on a different planet. But the real

0:28:120:28:17

interest is which one. We know Phelps has squeaked into the final,

0:28:170:28:21

but he won this in Beijing and in Athens. Lochte is the one who has

0:28:210:28:28

been swimming 400 individual medley. Phelps hates it. Three titles in a

0:28:280:28:35

row has not happened in the pool forever. But he is racing against

0:28:350:28:39

his own compatriot. One trains in Florida, the other in Baltimore,

0:28:390:28:42

different sides of the country. This is what Michael Phelps said

0:28:420:28:47

inspired him to train hard again. Suddenly, he got beaten by one of

0:28:470:28:51

his own and he wanted to retain his title. You have got Phelps in lane

0:28:510:28:55

eight and Lochte in lane three. Different sides of the pool.

0:28:550:28:59

there an advantage for Phelps in that he will have clean water? If

0:28:590:29:02

they were next to each other, presumably there would be some

0:29:020:29:08

washed to deal with. Only tiny amounts. Normally, they are side by

0:29:080:29:12

side and will just fight against each other. As far as the

0:29:120:29:16

spectators go, that would be a great race to see, side by side.

0:29:160:29:20

But now they will be doing their own race. They might look across

0:29:200:29:26

the pool, but it is a long way. Whatever happens, this will be

0:29:260:29:32

Michael Phelps' last 400m. He retires at the end of these Olympic

0:29:320:29:35

Games, and he says it is just about how many toppings he wants on his

0:29:350:29:39

Sunday. He is not talking about beating the all-time record of

0:29:390:29:43

Olympic medals, he just wants to go out there, swim as fast as he can

0:29:430:29:47

and do what he can. Ryan Lochte is as it is not just about beating

0:29:470:29:51

Michael, there are plenty of other swimmers and this will be a race to

0:29:510:29:54

savour. I hope those seats that looks Berra at the moment will be

0:29:550:29:59

full shortly, because this is a hot ticket tonight. Everybody wants To

0:29:590:30:03

Be Here. This is one of the biggest finals of the lot. Those who will

0:30:030:30:06

have the pleasure of commentating on it will be Adrian Moorhouse and

0:30:060:30:16
0:30:160:30:35

So, the final of the Men's 400m Individual Medley. Coming out

0:30:350:30:44

second, Thomas Fraser-Holmes. He has qualified fifth for the final.

0:30:440:30:49

And the men who's going to try to dethrone the king of the pool, that

0:30:490:30:55

is Ryan Lochte, the world champion in the 400 medley, but Michael

0:30:550:31:05

Phelps did not swim in that race last year. And a pretty big shock,

0:31:050:31:08

the second of the Japanese in this race, just 17 years of age, Kosuke

0:31:080:31:15

Hagino. A bronze-medallist at the World Youth Championships. Can you

0:31:150:31:20

imagine, he set a lifetime best to qualify fastest for the final ahead

0:31:200:31:24

of Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps. This guy also set a lifetime best,

0:31:240:31:34

to qualify. Absolutely, Chad le Clos had a great swim. I am

0:31:340:31:44
0:31:440:31:47

expecting him to go out very quickly. But I think the 17-year-

0:31:470:31:53

old in lane four, Kosuke Hagino, he looked very composed, I thought, as

0:31:530:31:59

he walked out. He certainly did, and he swam very well to get to the

0:31:590:32:04

final. He did his best time by a long way. But everybody now waiting

0:32:040:32:10

for the maestro, the greatest swimmer in history. He has got 14

0:32:100:32:16

Olympic gold medals and two bronze medals. No silvers yet. I wonder

0:32:160:32:26
0:32:260:32:26

whether this will be his first silver medal. That was his mother.

0:32:260:32:31

So, Michael Phelps, in lane eight, qualified by just seven hundredths

0:32:310:32:41
0:32:410:32:45

of a second. This is one of the most anticipated finals of Olympic

0:32:460:32:52

swimming, and we're getting it first race up tonight. It is

0:32:520:32:54

probably one of the most anticipated races in Olympic

0:32:540:33:00

history in the swimming pool. We expected these two to be in it, but

0:33:000:33:03

we did not expect one of them to be in lane three, and the other one to

0:33:030:33:13
0:33:130:33:20

Probably the best start in lane five, Chad le Clos, the

0:33:200:33:27

Commonwealth champion in this event. But Michael Phelps is the world

0:33:270:33:32

record holder in the 200 Fly. but Ryan Lochte got a fantastic

0:33:320:33:40

start, taking it by the scruff of the neck. Look at that, Lochte has

0:33:400:33:47

got the best kick under water, Phelps looked a bit sluggish. This

0:33:470:33:50

could be very interesting before going into the backstroke, because

0:33:500:33:55

the backstroke is Ryan Lochte's best. Gold-medallist in the Olympic

0:33:550:34:04

Games. World champion at 200m as well. Look at this! First to turn,

0:34:040:34:09

Ryan Lochte. Second, Michael Phelps. As expected, it has started already,

0:34:090:34:16

and it is a head-to-head. This is where I think Ryan Lochte is going

0:34:160:34:22

to try to make a move. At the moment, you would think Lochte

0:34:220:34:28

looks to be the strongest. Phelps is a big race there, and I don't

0:34:280:34:36

think he will like being away in lane eight. He does not want to

0:34:360:34:42

have a lot to do towards the end. What a great turn from Lochte. Are

0:34:420:34:46

we seeing a new king in the pool? Ryan Lochte is looking pretty

0:34:460:34:51

dominant at this point. Phelps looks a bit grumpy right at the

0:34:510:35:01
0:35:010:35:03

bottom. A beautiful backstroke from Lochte, very smoke. Just outside

0:35:030:35:11

world record time. The halfway mark in this final of the Men's 400m

0:35:110:35:17

Individual Medley. Ryan Lochte has got a really big lead now. Phelps

0:35:170:35:26

looks to be in trouble here. It is not materialising for him. The 17-

0:35:260:35:33

year-old, Kosuke Hagino, is battling for the silver medal,

0:35:330:35:42

along with Phelps. Michael Phelps might not even get a medal here.

0:35:420:35:48

The green signals that Ryan Lochte is having the swim of his life.

0:35:480:35:55

has taken more time out of that world record split time there. This

0:35:550:35:59

will be fascinating. Could we see Michael Phelps, the best medley

0:35:590:36:04

swimmer of all time, losing his world record? He has already lost

0:36:040:36:09

it last year in the 200m, but will he be losing it tonight in the 400?

0:36:100:36:16

Ryan Lochte is leading by miles. A big glide into the wall. Michael

0:36:160:36:21

Phelps is only fourth at the moment, there on the bottom. We saw Thiago

0:36:210:36:24

Pereira taking a look over, and that will have boosted his

0:36:250:36:30

confidence no end, to see himself in the silver-medal position. Ryan

0:36:300:36:34

Lochte, on world record pace. We have spoken about taking over the

0:36:340:36:39

mantle of Michael Phelps, but they are the same age, you know. Ryan

0:36:390:36:43

Lochte has dominated from start to finish here. Nobody will catch him

0:36:430:36:48

now, it is all about the world record, and I really hope the crowd

0:36:480:36:55

lift the roof for this. The crowd is going nuts, not only because

0:36:550:37:00

this gentleman is going to become a new Olympic champions in the Men's

0:37:000:37:03

400m Individual Medley, which is brilliant... You can see Michelle

0:37:030:37:09

Obama, cheering on Ryan Lochte. Who would have thought it? Right at the

0:37:090:37:14

bottom, Michael Phelps might not be going to get a medal... Second, it

0:37:140:37:21

was Thiago Pereira, and third, from Japan, Kosuke Hagino. Look at that.

0:37:210:37:28

Michael Phelps is fourth! Unbelievable! Kosuke Hagino gets

0:37:280:37:32

the bronze medal. I cannot believe Michael Phelps has got fourth. But

0:37:320:37:37

let's gave it to this guy, the new Olympic champion in the Men's 400m

0:37:370:37:42

Individual Medley. He is the world champion, and now, he is the

0:37:420:37:47

Olympic champion, and he won it by miles. Ryan Lochte, Olympic

0:37:470:37:56

champion. Killer start. Fantastic race. Lochte went for it from the

0:37:560:38:00

very beginning, he dominated on every stroke. He stayed underwater

0:38:000:38:04

a lot longer than the rest of the field. I think we knew Phelps was

0:38:040:38:08

in trouble at the end of the Fly. He should have been leading after

0:38:080:38:16

the Fly. It was only going to go one way on the backstroke. Well, it

0:38:160:38:22

was, but I did not expect him to go quite that slow. He was not quite

0:38:220:38:27

as flat as normal on the backstroke, but this guy was. Look at that!

0:38:270:38:33

That is not how to finish! A big old Clyde! But he is Olympic

0:38:330:38:39

champion! That the worried face of Michael Phelps. Eight gold medals

0:38:390:38:49
0:38:490:38:49

in eight days in China. I think a lot of the gliding was related to

0:38:490:38:59
0:38:590:39:11

fatigue. So, Ryan Lochte is Olympic the crowd, in particular the

0:39:110:39:16

Americans in here to support him tonight. That is the Americans'

0:39:160:39:22

first gold medal of these Games. He is the coolest guy, he behaves as

0:39:220:39:26

if nothing would ever bother him, and he gets into the pool and swims

0:39:260:39:32

like that, it was sensational. morning, it looked like Michael

0:39:320:39:35

Phelps was cruising, but he obviously gave it more than he had

0:39:350:39:41

thought. He is with Sharron Davies now. Many congratulations, this is

0:39:410:39:48

your moment to shine, Ryan Lochte. I guess. Four years is a long time

0:39:480:39:55

working for it. So, I put the work in. I know it is my time. Is this

0:39:550:40:02

the start of a serious quest? It is going to be your show? I sure hope

0:40:020:40:07

so. I am just going out and having fun, doing what I do best, racing.

0:40:070:40:14

Many congratulations. Did you like our crowd? Oh, yes, I liked it a

0:40:140:40:21

lot. And he could win a possible six medals, depending on how many

0:40:210:40:29

relays he enters. Yes, he probably will not do the 4x100 medley. But

0:40:290:40:39

he has got plenty to go for. He looks in great shape. We have got

0:40:390:40:44

two women's semi-finals coming up in the Women's 100m Butterfly. This

0:40:440:40:47

is the first one coming up, containing the world record holder,

0:40:470:40:51

Sarah Sjostrom, of Sweden. She is up against Fran Halsall of Great

0:40:510:40:56

Britain, who's very much a fast sprinter. Our other British

0:40:560:41:06
0:41:060:41:09

sprinter, in the other semi-final, has more stamina. There are in the

0:41:090:41:13

semi-finals, the top eight altogether go to the final. Let's

0:41:130:41:20

just get them into the final. can hand you back to Andy now. Fran

0:41:200:41:30
0:41:300:41:34

Halsall will be the next swimmer to come out.

0:41:340:41:43

Here's Fran Halsall. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Fran Halsall,

0:41:430:41:47

massive ovation from the crowd, she will be in lane six.

0:41:470:41:53

Right next to her, the Swedish swimmer. Also just gone through,

0:41:530:41:59

the world champion on the 100 Freestyle, Herasimenia. And then

0:41:590:42:07

Savard of Canada in lane eight. Let's just make it clear - two

0:42:070:42:11

Chinese, fastest and third fastest, but we have got Sarah Sjostrom in

0:42:110:42:19

lane five, and Fran Halsall in lane six. Here's world record holder,

0:42:190:42:21

18-year-old Sarah Sjostrom, who broke the world record when she was

0:42:220:42:29

16. Fran Halsall of Great Britain, a pure sprinter. I would love to

0:42:290:42:36

see her make this final. The first semi-final of the Women's 100m

0:42:360:42:40

Butterfly, and a beautiful stuck under water for the world record-

0:42:400:42:45

holder from Sweden, Sarah Sjostrom. Interestingly, quite a slow leg

0:42:450:42:52

kick there. The Chinese swimmer, she got a good quarter of a metre

0:42:520:42:57

on Sarah Sjostrom, so I think that was not such a great start. Doing

0:42:570:43:01

enough in the moment, for the first 50. This is all about a good turn.

0:43:010:43:08

Big kick. Those kicks were not fast enough, and she has been left

0:43:080:43:15

behind. Sarah Sjostrom coming back now. When Sarah Sjostrom said the

0:43:150:43:21

world record, she came back ridiculously fast. She has already

0:43:210:43:25

gone into first position, in the yellow hat. Fran Halsall going

0:43:250:43:29

reasonably well, but starting to tire. Five metres to go. Sarah

0:43:290:43:36

Sjostrom takes it. I could tell you that Fran Halsall has finished in

0:43:360:43:41

seventh position. I think that's not going to be good enough for the

0:43:410:43:45

final. The other semi-final still to come, but that might not be good

0:43:450:43:50

enough. I am pretty sure that will not be good enough, unfortunately,

0:43:500:44:00
0:44:000:44:00

for Fran Halsall. If I was her coach, Sarah Sjostrom's coach, she

0:44:000:44:08

could get another half the second on the turns, easily. But that was

0:44:080:44:13

really good spotting at the finish. She did that beautifully, changing

0:44:130:44:17

her stroke about 10 metres out, to get that finish correct. One thing

0:44:170:44:24

she did right, Adrian! She is fast, though! So, not a particularly

0:44:240:44:34
0:44:340:44:36

impressive time in that first semi- final. Interesting, not as fast as

0:44:360:44:40

I thought it would be. So, basically, if the second semi-final

0:44:400:44:45

goes under 58, you're going to be in the final. Only two women under

0:44:460:44:50

58 seconds - extraordinary. What an opportunity for these ladies, in

0:44:500:45:00
0:45:000:45:33

Ellen Gandy and Lane and two. - macro in lane number two. She has

0:45:330:45:43
0:45:430:45:44

taken her headphones off to listen to that. The crowd were fantastic.

0:45:440:45:49

Sometimes you can't hear it with our headphones on. Every hundredth

0:45:490:45:55

of a second counts. Here is the world champion. She set a new

0:45:550:46:01

American record and a new Olympic record in the heats. The world

0:46:010:46:11
0:46:110:46:30

Kentucky University. They have a brutal qualification. The first two

0:46:300:46:39

go, and that is it. If you are sick, tough. And the group will be in

0:46:390:46:45

lane eight. So Adrian, Ellen Gandy and Len two. Not really a

0:46:450:46:49

specialist, although she broke the record in her qualification in the

0:46:490:46:55

trials. Interesting to see how she does here. I hope she goes through

0:46:550:46:59

her best time. This is the moment to do it. It is the Olympic semi-

0:46:590:47:04

final. She is in the outside lane. She has got to deliver her best

0:47:040:47:14
0:47:140:47:18

time. I think Dana Vollmer or is going for a good time here. She is

0:47:180:47:27

taking it very seriously. second semi-final of the women's

0:47:270:47:34

100m butterfly. A very good start in lane three. That is the Danish

0:47:340:47:43

swimmer. Dana Vollmer has got a decent start. Ellen Gandy is a bit

0:47:430:47:50

off the pace. She needs to pull back. Dana Vollmer is looking

0:47:500:47:57

ominous now. She is under her world record by nearly a second. This is

0:47:570:48:07
0:48:070:48:08

incredible. The two Americans are going pretty well. Dana Vollmer or

0:48:080:48:17

his swimming away. This is impressive. Ago that line. That is

0:48:170:48:24

the time Dana Vollmer is looking for. She just missed it the finish.

0:48:240:48:28

We saw Sarah Sjostrom in that first semi-final could just perfectly on

0:48:280:48:32

the finish. That was not quite right, but still enormously

0:48:320:48:42
0:48:420:48:45

impressive. Absolutely. She will qualify for the final by a second.

0:48:460:48:49

Ellen Gandy finished in fifth position, which is not normally

0:48:490:48:59

great, but she will finish in the final. 57.66. We have a computer

0:48:590:49:03

next to us. We keep checking it, because we are keen for the Prince

0:49:030:49:08

to make it through to the final. Ellen Gandy will have made the

0:49:080:49:18
0:49:180:49:18

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

0:49:180:50:11

Fantastic for Ellen Gandy, and appropriate because in 2004, when

0:50:110:50:15

she was 12 and living in Kent, she is now based in Australia, she was

0:50:150:50:19

part of the back the big poster, so she has been involved all the wear

0:50:190:50:23

long. Let's hear from her. We we just hearing about your back

0:50:230:50:29

the bid poster. Remember that? when I was 12. It is mad to think I

0:50:290:50:35

am here now. And you are in the final. My time was not great and I

0:50:350:50:40

swallowed a bit of water, but I am happy to be in the final. It is my

0:50:400:50:44

first Olympic final. I saw you take your headphones off so you could

0:50:440:50:48

soak up every sound in the stadium. Exactly. This morning I did not

0:50:480:50:51

want to be overwhelmed by the crowd, but it was amazing tonight and I

0:50:510:50:57

was glad I could feel the war of the crowd. Do you have a plan for

0:50:570:51:04

the time you are looking at, or is it a move towards the 200? It is

0:51:040:51:08

focusing on the 200, but it is a bonus to get in the final. Everyone

0:51:080:51:14

has a shot in the final, so I am looking forward to it. Good luck.

0:51:140:51:18

Three swimmers are making their way out now for the final of the men's

0:51:180:51:22

400m freestyle. This features the defending champion. We thought he

0:51:220:51:26

might have got disqualified this morning in the heats. When we look

0:51:260:51:30

at the replays, Mark could not see why. And eventually, neither could

0:51:300:51:34

the stewards. There was a long inquiry. David Carry makes the

0:51:340:51:39

final at the age of 30. He tweeted this afternoon, "This is my

0:51:390:51:49
0:51:490:52:03

ultimate dream". Les rejoin Adrian record. He is extraordinary.

0:52:030:52:08

Looking really mean. Adrian, do you think he will go that quick? He is

0:52:080:52:18

a tough one. He has an awesome world record. You're talking about

0:52:180:52:28
0:52:280:52:37

Korean. Is the defending Olympic champion. He is the world champion

0:52:370:52:42

in this 400m freestyle. Parkour was disqualified this morning after the

0:52:420:52:47

heats. Twitched on the blocks. A massive hoover up. In the end, he

0:52:470:52:52

was reinstated, which I have never heard of. He twitched on the blocks,

0:52:520:52:58

and the rule is fuzzy at best. He has been reinstated. Brilliant to

0:52:580:53:06

see David Carry qualified. Massive ovation. Wonderful to see a full

0:53:060:53:13

crowd here. He did not qualify at the trials. He had to go to the

0:53:130:53:18

trials. He qualified in Sheffield. Now he is in the final of the

0:53:180:53:22

Olympic Games. This is awesome. He has never made an individual final.

0:53:220:53:32
0:53:320:53:37

It is almost like he has got nothing to lose. Park is coached in

0:53:370:53:45

Brisbane by the same coach as the swim her in lane one. Australia is

0:53:450:53:51

where you need to be. Hopefully, David Carry, in the red cap nearest

0:53:520:54:01

to us, will rise to this wonderful opportunity. The final of the men's

0:54:010:54:09

400m freestyle. Yang Sun of China is in lane number four. He is not

0:54:090:54:14

the greatest tactician. The greatest tactician is Park of Korea

0:54:140:54:19

in lane six. He is going out already. I wonder whether Son has

0:54:190:54:24

been told, just stick with Park. That has to be the best tactic.

0:54:240:54:34
0:54:340:54:40

Quite a good line. Parke did this before to Yang Sun. I come with you.

0:54:400:54:50
0:54:500:55:01

I think the coach... Park is from South Korea, by the way. Sun has

0:55:010:55:06

got a wily coach in Dennis Cotterill. He trains in Miami.

0:55:060:55:14

Knows all about distance freestyle battles and tactics. Energy, pacing.

0:55:140:55:24
0:55:240:55:28

This is a great one. Closer to us is Park of Korea. He is a 200 and

0:55:290:55:38
0:55:390:55:39

400 man. So expect Yang Sun to come back harder. I think at mic Park is

0:55:390:55:42

trying to take it harder and see if he can get rid of the sprint of

0:55:420:55:52
0:55:520:55:57

Yang Sun. This is quite dangerous for Park. 200m, halfway. And so,

0:55:570:56:01

three tenths of a second splitting the first two here in this final of

0:56:010:56:10

the men's 400m freestyle. Closer to us, Park of Korea. Yang Sun is now

0:56:100:56:15

starting to make a move. The world record may now be on. It is held by

0:56:150:56:21

a German who did not qualify for this final. It was three tenths of

0:56:210:56:25

a second at the halfway point, now it is three hundreds of a second.

0:56:250:56:30

This is the head-to-head battle we were expecting in the 400 medley.

0:56:300:56:37

We are seeing it in the 400 freak. This is fantastic to watch. David

0:56:370:56:46

Carry is down at the bottom of the pool in eighth position. Park has

0:56:460:56:54

done all the work. I have no idea what is going to happen with this

0:56:540:57:04
0:57:040:57:07

one. Yang Sun is going now. David Carry is really going well. But it

0:57:070:57:13

looks like Yang Sun is completely nuts on this last 100. He broke the

0:57:130:57:19

world record on the 1500m freestyle. Come on, let's see if he can go

0:57:190:57:24

under three minutes 40, the world record held by the German. It looks

0:57:240:57:28

like he will take this gold medal, but is he going to take the world

0:57:280:57:34

record? Ne Chinese man has ever won gold in the swimming pool. Sun is

0:57:340:57:44
0:57:440:57:47

streaking away here. His brilliant. Oh, no! He glided in. He is happy

0:57:470:57:55

because he has won the gold, but he had the world record. Doctors and

0:57:550:58:05

Yang, silver to Park. Great Britain's David Carry finished with

0:58:050:58:12

3.48 0.6. That was fantastic. The emotion that came out of Yang Sun

0:58:120:58:15

when he won, I get what you are saying about him having the world

0:58:150:58:19

record in the palm of his hands, but he will get the gold medal

0:58:190:58:26

around his neck, and that is what it means to that guy. I know he has

0:58:260:58:32

been training for that 1500 free. This was the rivalry. That was

0:58:320:58:38

awesome. I am pleased you didn't say, come on, my son, by the way. I

0:58:380:58:46

thought you were going to say it. was trying not to say that. He so

0:58:460:58:51

nearly had it. He has taken Ian Thorpe's Olympic record. It means a

0:58:510:58:59

lot. Did he care about the world record? No. I have to say I am

0:58:590:59:05

pleased, because life moves on. He swung so well. Given the fact that

0:59:060:59:15
0:59:160:59:19

he was so quick, I really hoped he would break the world record. I

0:59:190:59:24

don't think we can hear Ian Thorpe at the moment, but what a swim. Ian

0:59:240:59:28

Thorpe's Olympic record goes, and the first Chinese man to win the

0:59:280:59:37

gold medal in this swimming pool is Yang Sun of China. Parc des the

0:59:370:59:47
0:59:470:59:50

silver. And they really gutsy swim Ian Thorpe. The guys were pleased

0:59:500:59:59

you lost it, but I am sure you were When you break a record, it is

0:59:591:00:03

there for a period of time. You are a custodian of it. This is the

1:00:031:00:07

first time I've thought I would see someone go this time, he came close

1:00:071:00:12

to going it, which is what I would like to have seen. It is fantastic

1:00:121:00:15

that Park was included in the final tonight. I think they made the

1:00:151:00:19

right decision around this. I have watched this tape 12 times. There

1:00:201:00:25

is no movement at the start of the race. Without Park win the race, I

1:00:251:00:28

don't think Sun Yang would have had the satisfaction of the victory

1:00:281:00:32

without the defending it -- defending Olympic champion. I must

1:00:321:00:35

talk you about Ryan Lochte, that was quite a performance from him?

1:00:351:00:41

It really was. Going through that race, watching him, he was strong.

1:00:411:00:45

The only critique I have, it is small, he was a bit short on the

1:00:451:00:51

freestyle. The length of his arms? The length of the stroke, the

1:00:511:00:54

recovery was short. Born world record pace the whole way through

1:00:541:00:58

that race, you see how dominant Michael was when he said that world

1:00:581:01:06

record. He flew through that last 50 metres. It was a second ahead.

1:01:061:01:09

What does that mean for Michael Phelps? He looked a long way off

1:01:091:01:14

his best. For Michael, I think I have said from the start, I felt

1:01:141:01:18

that Ryan Lochte would be stronger in this race. I think what -- I

1:01:181:01:21

think Michael will do better in the shorter races at this event and it

1:01:211:01:26

suits the training he has been doing. We shall see, when he

1:01:261:01:30

performs at his next race. Let's go back to the Aquatics Centre with

1:01:301:01:35

Clare and Mark. Thank you, building up to the first

1:01:351:01:39

medal ceremony, Michael Phelps not in the medals. Ryan Lochte will

1:01:391:01:43

come out to take his gold medal and a huge moment for him because cool

1:01:431:01:49

as he seems, Mark, you have to be in -- intoxicated by the emotion of

1:01:491:01:56

this? It was huge. He knew what he could do, but The Bottom Line is,

1:01:561:02:02

it is of bulbs, Phelps, Phelps. He has not done the event for three

1:02:021:02:05

years. On the shorter events he might do better. He is the new king,

1:02:051:02:10

he has taken over. For some, it is about winning a medal, for others

1:02:101:02:14

is is about getting to the final. For David Carry, that is the major

1:02:141:02:21

achievement of today. Let's hear his reaction, he finished 7th.

1:02:211:02:25

Sharron Davies you can say you were a finalist at the Olympic Games.

1:02:251:02:31

can't believe it, I set myself that challenge and there were some rocky

1:02:321:02:37

patches along the way and I am delighted with the way I was able

1:02:371:02:41

to back up tonight. I knew it would be tough, a huge amount of effort

1:02:411:02:45

to make the final. To do that again tonight, to race against the best

1:02:451:02:49

and the world, to have awesome support behind me, it was a real

1:02:491:02:53

dream. You will not have seen it because you was winning but he

1:02:531:02:56

floated to the wall. Have you touched the wall properly, you

1:02:561:03:00

would have broken the world record. A lot of people say it is an

1:03:001:03:05

individual sport, it is not. I had a team of 100 people helping me to

1:03:051:03:10

get to that podium tonight. All the way from mum and dad, who have been

1:03:101:03:13

incredibly inspirational for me come all the way to my coach, my

1:03:131:03:18

physio, lee Harrington, who got me back into shape. It has be an

1:03:181:03:24

awesome -- it has been an awesome journey. What happens now? Really,

1:03:241:03:31

we have five guys vying 4-4 spots in the 200 metres freestyle, I

1:03:311:03:36

think on Tuesday. From now won it is about that relay. We will let

1:03:361:03:42

you have a swim down. Thank you very much. Thank you. Sharon

1:03:421:03:46

talking about this for him down, there are two 50-metre pools here.

1:03:461:03:51

The other is below was. When the competition starts, it can go on 4-

1:03:511:03:54

2 hours, some of the swimmers cannot warm-up at the beginning

1:03:541:03:58

because two hours later they will not still be warm, so they can go

1:03:581:04:02

under while the competition is on and do their race later. Going back

1:04:021:04:05

to David Carry, one of the people who has been part of his motivation

1:04:051:04:10

for the London Games is his fiancee, Keri-Anne Payne. They get married

1:04:101:04:14

in September in Aberdeen. She is supporting him, along with the rest

1:04:141:04:19

of the British team. Let's enjoy the first medal ceremony was Ryan

1:04:191:04:23

Lochte team looking like he does not know what to do. -- with Ryan

1:04:231:04:33
1:04:331:04:35

Lochte looking like he does not The presentation party, the IOC

1:04:351:04:40

member for Peru, presenting the medals to the men in this 400

1:04:401:04:50
1:04:501:04:51

There is the support team for the medal ceremony. I have not quite

1:04:511:04:55

worked out why they had supporters, but anyway, they can present the

1:04:551:05:02

flowers. What a proud moment this is for the 17-year-old from Japan.

1:05:021:05:06

The biggest he has done before this is the world youth championships,

1:05:061:05:10

where he got a bronze medal in the 400 metres medley. Now it is a

1:05:101:05:18

bronze medal at the Olympic Games. A new Japanese record, only the 7th

1:05:181:05:23

man in history to go under four minutes and ten seconds and he went

1:05:231:05:29

for minutes and eight seconds. A massive shock. He just can't

1:05:291:05:33

believe it. I bet he was utterly delighted just to make the final,

1:05:331:05:40

but to get a medal and beat Michael Phelps. It is a humbling moment,

1:05:401:05:50
1:05:501:05:58

isn't it? An interesting bunch of A fantastic bronze medal. Another

1:05:581:06:06

shock, a big surprise, a silver medal to the Brazilian. It is a

1:06:061:06:16
1:06:161:06:19

very good time indeed. He swam really tough, really tough. A good

1:06:191:06:23

solid flies winner but brought it all the way back through,

1:06:241:06:33

backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. He was 4th at the World

1:06:331:06:39

Championships in Rome. That was three years ago. Now he is the

1:06:391:06:42

Olympic silver medallist. Well, we have been waiting for it a long

1:06:421:06:48

time. How well will this gentleman do? He has been on the front cover

1:06:481:06:53

of American magazines. There was going to be a massive head to head,

1:06:531:06:56

no one knew he would take it between Ryan Lochte and Michael

1:06:561:07:02

Phelps. And Ryan Lochte comes up victorious. Olympic champion, men's

1:07:021:07:08

400 metres individual medley. His first of seven races here in London

1:07:081:07:16

traded of Olympic Games. His first race is gold. I think this is going

1:07:161:07:21

to be there becoming of this man, or Ryan Lochte of the USA.

1:07:211:07:27

mentioned before, the same age as Michael Phelps, just coming later.

1:07:271:07:32

Ryan Lochte has talked about Rio. He wants to challenge some of

1:07:321:07:35

Michael Phelps' record. That will be interesting. He is starting

1:07:351:07:45
1:07:451:07:45

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

1:07:451:09:20

The Olympic champion, Ryan Lochte The bronze, I am not sure he can

1:09:201:09:30
1:09:301:09:35

major shock of that race, Michael Phelps not on the podium. He

1:09:351:09:39

finished 4th. The swimmers are conserving emotional energy, that

1:09:391:09:43

is why Ryan Lochte is not hollering, but you can see how much it means

1:09:431:09:49

to him. USA's first gold medal is on the board. Great Britain are

1:09:491:09:52

looking for first medal of this Games after the disappointment of

1:09:521:09:56

the road race earlier. It falls to Henna -- to Hannah Miley, coming up

1:09:561:10:02

next. She is a girl who is trained by her father, Patrick, in a pool

1:10:031:10:08

north of Aberdeen that is only 25 metres long with four lanes. At the

1:10:081:10:17

That is what we talk about, a lot of the best train -- the best

1:10:171:10:22

swimmers have come out of the worst training facilities. I used to

1:10:221:10:26

train in a pool where I scraped my fingers along the bottom. As long

1:10:261:10:29

as you have water and a great coach and training partners, you can do

1:10:301:10:35

anything. She said, my dad works for me. Frankly, he could train me

1:10:351:10:42

in a puddle. I thought that was a great big -- great visual image. He

1:10:421:10:46

released it is her rival swimmers, so he knows the strengths and it

1:10:461:10:49

will be an interesting race this, because they have different strokes

1:10:491:10:54

they are good at. One of the interesting things, like a football

1:10:541:10:57

manager, he will look at the other team and analyse strengths and

1:10:571:11:03

weaknesses. She will know the two girls next to her, she stays behind

1:11:031:11:08

does Hannah Miley, she comes back on the best stroke. Elizabeth

1:11:081:11:14

Beisel has a great backstroke. Hannah Miley's breaststroke is

1:11:141:11:21

particularly good. Caitlin Leverenz has a good breaststroke as well.

1:11:211:11:26

Hannah Miley was the nearly Gul, 4th, six, then she suddenly came

1:11:261:11:31

through. Her breakthrough year lost 2010. How much confidence has she

1:11:311:11:35

got from that? Do you see somebody in Hannah Miley who believes she

1:11:351:11:40

can win a medal? Yes, definitely. We saw her that the world

1:11:401:11:42

championships last year, she is European champion and Commonwealth

1:11:421:11:47

champion. She has one big events. Second at the World Championships.

1:11:471:11:53

Elizabeth Beisel has a tough task. There is only three seconds

1:11:531:11:56

separating all of them. Getting there, race hard, she looks a race.

1:11:561:12:00

This could be the perfect race Firth of. It was interesting when

1:12:001:12:05

Sharron Davies interview did her, she was coached by her father in

1:12:061:12:11

this event, in 1980 she won at the Moscow Games, she said, what is the

1:12:111:12:17

last thing your dad says to you and he says, I love you. We all went,

1:12:171:12:23

oh, it is just an immense moment for the this. For Patrick Miley and

1:12:231:12:31

Paul Hannah Miley. And for her mum and brothers. This has to be so

1:12:311:12:34

special and the crowd will be hugely behind her. I know, Sharron

1:12:341:12:39

Davies, you will as well. Absolutely, I am really nervous for

1:12:391:12:42

her. She will thrive on this excitement and the noise when she

1:12:421:12:46

comes out. There has been publicity about her, she is a lovely person.

1:12:461:12:52

You cannot fail to love her. She is gutsy. She will give 110%.

1:12:521:12:57

training, she swims 28 hours a week and if you saw the peace earlier

1:12:571:13:02

she knows -- you will know she does pilates and rock climbing. Ryan

1:13:021:13:06

Lochte, part of his training was dragging tyres. You need to people

1:13:061:13:10

-- you need to keep people interested with her fitness work.

1:13:101:13:14

There is a lot of cross-training these days. You need strength and

1:13:141:13:17

conditioning in the gym. Different ways to keep your mind interested

1:13:171:13:21

and get Games in different areas. Rock-climbing is great for upper-

1:13:211:13:26

body strength and in the water, there is shoulders work, so that

1:13:261:13:30

will help immensely. It is fun, you need to make training fund.

1:13:301:13:33

will notice when the swimmers walkout to the divvied -- the

1:13:341:13:38

difference in the physical build of them. Hannah Miley is tiny, five

1:13:381:13:42

foot five inches. She weighs eight stone. When they did the photograph,

1:13:421:13:52
1:13:521:13:52

she was in height order, right at is a hugely energetic and happy

1:13:521:13:58

person as well. We wish her well. Let's rejoin and it.

1:13:581:14:03

The Olympic champion, the defending champion, Stephanie Rice of

1:14:031:14:08

Australia, in lane one. She has had shoulder injuries and it is tough

1:14:081:14:13

does win a good Ledley with shoulder injuries. She has come

1:14:131:14:17

back reasonably well. She had a good 100 metres in the heats this

1:14:171:14:24

morning but a dangerous lane, nobody watching you. Mareia

1:14:241:14:32

Belmonte Garcia in two, the European champion in three. Expect

1:14:321:14:36

her to go out pretty quickly. There is Katinka Hosszu. She will be

1:14:361:14:41

right next to Elizabeth Beisel. Here she is, from the USA, the

1:14:411:14:46

world champion. She was 4th at the Olympic Games four years ago, but

1:14:461:14:51

she is the fastest in the world this year. Absolutely, in Beijing,

1:14:511:14:55

15 years of age when she got 4th place. She has come to make good

1:14:551:14:59

and will have an experience of an Olympics under her belt which is

1:14:591:15:05

used for. Stephanie Rice, in lane one, the last Olympics, three gold

1:15:051:15:09

medals and three world records, the world swimmer of the year. Michael

1:15:091:15:12

Phelps was the male swimmer of the year. She had picked shoulder

1:15:121:15:19

problems. You can't write her wrath. This is lane six, Xuanxu Li. Listen

1:15:191:15:27

to the ovation for Hannah Miley from Great Britain. It is massive.

1:15:271:15:31

It is absolutely massive. Well, if that does not get her going,

1:15:311:15:35

nothing will. She is the European champion, the Commonwealth champion,

1:15:351:15:39

the British record holder, silver at the World Championship. Can she

1:15:391:15:44

win Great Britain's first gold medal of these Olympic Games? She

1:15:441:15:51

goes in seven, not a bad lane. Caitlin Leverenz of the USA is in

1:15:511:16:01
1:16:011:16:06

lane eight. Hannah Miley Swan next the Elizabeth Beisel and Shiwen Ye.

1:16:061:16:12

That is Stephanie Rice, we saw her world record. She is looking

1:16:121:16:21

nervous. Elizabeth Beisel is ready for action. Hannah Miley slapping

1:16:211:16:30

her thighs, getting excited, like us. The final of the women's 400

1:16:301:16:35

metres individual medley, and Hannah Miley, with the red hat, one

1:16:351:16:40

from the bottom. Do not worry too much about the first 100, because

1:16:401:16:45

she normally does quite slow, against the rest of the field, and

1:16:451:16:52

she picks it up on the backstroke. That is how she got her silver

1:16:521:17:02
1:17:021:17:07

medal in the world championships. She is good at the 200 metres.

1:17:071:17:12

is 2.6 seconds down on a Elizabeth Beisel, at the end the previous

1:17:121:17:17

race, and she could bottle it back. Stephanie Rice is not doing too

1:17:171:17:27
1:17:271:17:35

turn his Katinka Hosszu, she is a very good butterfly swimmer. It is

1:17:351:17:42

fascinating to see Hannah Miley in seventh place, but in eighth place,

1:17:421:17:50

Elizabeth Beisel. That is surprising. The shape of the

1:17:501:17:54

swimmers should be a spearhead, Elizabeth Beisel should be further

1:17:541:18:00

up. This is very good for Hannah Miley. She is better than Katinka

1:18:001:18:06

Hosszu. This could be very interesting. Stephanie Rice in

1:18:061:18:16
1:18:161:18:20

second place. This will be fantastic, tremendous to see. This

1:18:201:18:28

could play into Hannah Miley's hands of a stop yes, Katinka Hosszu

1:18:281:18:38
1:18:381:18:42

is a very good butterfly swimmer. Going pretty well is Hannah Miley.

1:18:421:18:47

A big kick under water. She has turned in sixth place, but the

1:18:471:18:52

breaststroke is very good for her. Elizabeth Beisel is leading,

1:18:521:18:59

Katinka Hosszu is going with her. In third place, she winded. Hannah

1:18:591:19:09

Miley is right there. 2.5 seconds is the deficit from the world

1:19:091:19:14

championships last year. Elizabeth Beisel, after a very sluggish

1:19:141:19:18

butterfly, it is as though she said, I will save some energy, and push

1:19:181:19:28
1:19:281:19:31

it through. She is checking on the Chinese, and seeing where Hannah is.

1:19:311:19:36

Elizabeth Beisel could slam the door if the rest of the field is

1:19:361:19:41

not careful. She is starting to look very good. She has got a

1:19:411:19:49

decent freestyler. The Chinese have as well. Hannah Miley is in fourth

1:19:491:19:59
1:19:591:20:02

place. 100 metres to go. First over, Elizabeth Beisel. Shiwen Ye is

1:20:021:20:10

second, Katinka Hosszu is third. is very close between Katinka

1:20:101:20:20
1:20:201:20:26

Hosszu, Shiwen Ye and Hannah Miley. This is interesting, she when year.

1:20:261:20:33

-- Shiwen Ye first stop she did it in about 15 metres. She has just

1:20:331:20:40

taken another mater, it is about two metres now, extraordinary. This

1:20:401:20:48

is absolutely amazing. Look at the world record. It is Stephanie Rice

1:20:481:20:56

Basma Kor record. -- Stephanie Rice's world-record. Utterly

1:20:561:21:04

extraordinary, unbelievable. It is a gold medal to China and a new

1:21:041:21:14
1:21:141:21:14

world record. A brilliant swim. The silver medal goes to Elizabeth

1:21:151:21:20

Beisel, the bronze medal has gone to he ran Xu Lin. Hannah Miley

1:21:201:21:30
1:21:301:21:32

finishes in for the place. -- in fourth place. She was about one

1:21:321:21:42

second down. She went 59.72 in the last 100. Just from that point, 75

1:21:421:21:52
1:21:521:22:12

metres to go. This is coming into turn. You have got to turn around

1:22:121:22:22
1:22:221:22:25

and push off. Yes, that was massive. Two Chinese medals. I am glad I did

1:22:251:22:30

not bet on that race. Extraordinary, a new world record, was not

1:22:301:22:40
1:22:401:22:51

That is China's second gold medal of the evening. She when she is

1:22:511:22:55

only 16, it is extraordinary, how many swimmers they have coming

1:22:551:23:05
1:23:051:23:05

through. At the lower age range. Yes, they have got strength in

1:23:051:23:09

depth. If the top guys are not performing, they have other people

1:23:091:23:15

to come through. That last 100 metres, I have never seen that

1:23:151:23:21

before. I have never seen anybody sprint like that. For Hannah Miley,

1:23:211:23:25

disappointment. She finishes in fifth-place. Let's hear her

1:23:261:23:35

reaction. Consoling each other a bit? I gave

1:23:351:23:41

it everything I had. This morning, it was a bunfight, getting into the

1:23:411:23:47

final. It was whoever could recover the quickest. I am gutted I did not

1:23:471:23:52

get a medal, but I cannot have given it any more. At the end of

1:23:521:23:56

the day, I will be able to look over it. It was one place better

1:23:561:24:06
1:24:061:24:10

than Beijing. That was all I could give. Frankie to everybody for

1:24:101:24:16

supporting me. It helped me get through to the final. It was a

1:24:161:24:20

solid swim, it could have been worse, I am happy. I said

1:24:201:24:27

beforehand you would give 110%. What can we expect in the 200?

1:24:271:24:31

will be great if I can make it through to the final this time. But

1:24:311:24:40

the standard is so high. It would be a bunfight, I will have to be

1:24:401:24:46

among stick, so we will say. It is tough when you have these pesky 16-

1:24:461:24:51

year-old! It is great to see the younger generation coming through.

1:24:511:24:58

They are learned from us, but they teach us a lot of things. The next

1:24:581:25:03

generation are faster and stronger. It is great to see that swimming is

1:25:031:25:09

moving on yet again. Hannah Miley says it is great, but

1:25:091:25:15

she is only 22! The winner is 16, the silver-medallist is 19, the

1:25:151:25:22

bronze-medallist is 18. It is a younger event. She was happy, it

1:25:221:25:27

was solid, but the time she did in the trials would have got her a

1:25:271:25:31

bronze medal. I know what she can do and how could she is. It was not

1:25:311:25:39

bad, but I feel for her. Nobody deserves it more than her. In four

1:25:391:25:46

years, it will be in Rio, a fantastic effort, but you sense

1:25:461:25:52

this year was her chance. Yes, it in front of your home crowd, you

1:25:521:25:57

want to perform. The ones that meant the most for May was in the

1:25:571:26:04

UK, in front of your friends and family. It was great, I wanted to

1:26:041:26:12

see her on the podium, though. is how sport works out. It is not

1:26:121:26:16

to be. We have the semi-finals coming up involving British

1:26:161:26:20

swimmers, and we think that sport provides plenty of drama, but it is

1:26:201:26:30
1:26:301:26:30

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

1:26:301:28:16

Great drama and top sport on the BBC. Lots to choose from. On BBC

1:28:161:28:21

Three, you can watch the gymnastics. It is always very popular at the

1:28:211:28:30

Olympic Games. It has been a very good evening for tiny -- for China,

1:28:311:28:36

that was their fourth gold medal. When I was watching Elizabeth

1:28:361:28:41

Beisel, she came from behind, she was going through so well, and I

1:28:411:28:47

thought, I wonder how she will come up in the freestyle. Then, the

1:28:471:28:50

Chinese athlete has already started taking her arm, and she was so

1:28:501:28:56

dominant. The 50 metres to go, I knew she would beat the world

1:28:561:29:04

record. An incredible effort, 16 years older. Youngsters! Do you

1:29:041:29:14
1:29:141:29:15

hate them?! Michael Phelps has said something. It was a bad race, he

1:29:151:29:20

said. They swam a better race than me, they were better prepared than

1:29:201:29:25

May. That is why I am not on the podium. Honest, I suppose.

1:29:251:29:32

happens to all of us, I have had some bad times. In the past,

1:29:321:29:36

Michael has been able to get past a bad performance. This is a good

1:29:361:29:40

thing for him, this will motivate him throughout the rest of the

1:29:401:29:48

competition. We will see a stronger And we are trying to taking what

1:29:481:29:52

happened to Phelps. And almost summing up of his performance and

1:29:521:29:59

of his race. -- an honest summing up. Ryan Lochte, in contrast, was

1:29:591:30:03

superb. The excitement here because a lot of fans come to the Aquatics

1:30:031:30:07

Centre and want to see world records and that was an amazing way

1:30:071:30:11

to break one. How many question marks will there be about somebody

1:30:111:30:16

who come suddenly swim so much faster than she has before? It was

1:30:161:30:19

a five-second best time, the way she did it. When you are 16 years

1:30:191:30:25

of age you do do big best times, but the way she swam away from

1:30:251:30:30

Elizabeth Beisel, it was phenomenal. But then, Michael Phelps is

1:30:301:30:36

phenomenal. Is she the new Michael Phelps? It can be done. Michael

1:30:361:30:40

Phelps was bidding to win that for the third Olympics in a row, that

1:30:401:30:45

is why the challenge now passes to a star Japanese swimmer called

1:30:451:30:55
1:30:551:31:00

Kitajima, a massive world record. It was a gold in the 100 and 200 in

1:31:001:31:03

Athens and he has done the same in Beijing. Total dominance of world

1:31:031:31:11

breaststroke swimming. CLARE BALDING: His name may not be as

1:31:111:31:14

familiar as belt, but Kosuke Kitajima is huge. Widely hailed as

1:31:141:31:19

the world's best at breaststroke, the Frog King as he is known in his

1:31:191:31:22

homeland is simply a superstar. The 29 year-old has his website

1:31:221:31:27

complete with a blue head avatar and almost 90,000 Twitter followers

1:31:271:31:31

have been treated to his pictures from London and no wonder he wants

1:31:311:31:39

to share the moment, as history beckons. If he secures both the 100

1:31:391:31:43

and 200 metre breaststroke titles, which he won in Athens in 2004 and

1:31:431:31:46

successfully defended in Beijing four years ago, he will be the

1:31:461:31:52

first man ever in swimming to do the triple double, to win two

1:31:521:31:55

titles at three successive Olympic Games. And having already recorded

1:31:551:32:00

the fastest time of 100 metres this year, the signs are that the from

1:32:001:32:10
1:32:101:32:14

It is one thing being a huge star in America or Britain, but when you

1:32:141:32:18

are massive in Japan, he probably can't even walk into by a pint of

1:32:181:32:25

milk, but -- not but he probably has to. Ian Thorpe became famous in

1:32:251:32:32

Japan and he stands out there. is big in Japan. He is big in Japan.

1:32:321:32:37

It is wonderful, seeing him on the block, tactically. He is smaller

1:32:371:32:44

than the others winners but he is a tactician. He won in 2004, and 2008.

1:32:441:32:49

Can he do it again? When in your country you have a good swimmer,

1:32:491:32:55

other swimmers follow. We have a guy in lane six as well. Indeed,

1:32:551:32:59

Ryo Tateishi. We will seek two semi-finals for the 100-metre

1:32:591:33:07

breaststroke. Missing from them, the world champion from Norway, 26,

1:33:071:33:12

he collapsed and died of a cardiac arrest. It was, still, nobody

1:33:121:33:18

really knows why, or what happened. He seemed perfectly fit. It is one

1:33:181:33:23

of those things, like Fabrice Muamba or in football. He fell over

1:33:231:33:27

and it happens. I suppose some people have weak hearts and you

1:33:271:33:31

don't see it and when it happens to one of the best, it reverberates

1:33:311:33:35

around the world. Fabrice Muamba was lucky there were people who

1:33:351:33:39

knew what had happened and treated him so quickly and he was up the

1:33:391:33:43

opening ceremony last night. An amazing recovery and a happy ending

1:33:431:33:50

for him. In terms of Kosuke Kitajima, he made coast, like he

1:33:501:33:54

did in the semi-final? There is so much depth in the field, about half

1:33:541:33:57

a second separating them, he will have to push it a lot. It is one of

1:33:571:34:01

those things we have seen, like Phelps missing out, he came 4th

1:34:011:34:06

this evening, an Olympic symbol -- and Olympic silver medallist missed

1:34:061:34:10

out, he wants to get the middle lane. That is where the medals come

1:34:101:34:16

from. In the second semi-final, on the reverse side you can get up

1:34:161:34:21

sets, sometimes the long shots sneak into the final. We have two

1:34:211:34:31
1:34:311:34:31

British swimmers, Craig Benson, semi-final. We want to hear from

1:34:311:34:36

Adrian Moorhouse because this is the event in which he won a gold

1:34:361:34:46
1:34:461:34:51

qualifier for the semi-final. He is the Olympic champion from 2004 in

1:34:511:34:57

Athens and 2008 in Beijing. But really incredible. So, listen to

1:34:571:35:04

this. Here he has, the 7th fastest qualifier for this first semi-final,

1:35:041:35:07

the world record holder. Not a bad way to start in lane one. In lane

1:35:071:35:13

two, Brendan Hansen from the USA. He made a comeback. He had a couple

1:35:131:35:19

of years out, he has come back again. He is the ex-world record

1:35:191:35:27

holder. In lane three, Cameron van der Burgh from South Africa.

1:35:271:35:31

will be out like a rocket. You watch him on the first 50 metres.

1:35:311:35:37

He has to make the most of his advantage there. A world record

1:35:371:35:42

holder in lane one, and ex-world record holder in lane two, the

1:35:421:35:47

double Olympic champion in the 100 metres and 200 metres breaststroke

1:35:471:35:52

in the last Tube Games, going in lane four. He is trying to create

1:35:521:35:59

history. Trying to win three titles in the same event. In three

1:35:591:36:09
1:36:091:36:13

consecutive Olympic Games. In lane five, Daniel Gyurta. Ryo Tateishi

1:36:131:36:18

is in lane six. The world championship silver medallist from

1:36:181:36:25

Italy is in lane seven. The Brazilian is in lane eight. An

1:36:251:36:35
1:36:351:36:35

extraordinary field. A great field. Kosuke Kitajima, he has two gold

1:36:361:36:41

medals. He won them in two dozen and four and 2008. He is favoured

1:36:411:36:47

for both here. It is like do it -- it is like Kelly Holmes doing what

1:36:471:36:52

she did three times. They call him the capital that it -- the Emperor.

1:36:521:37:02
1:37:021:37:15

I would love to see him do it. Lane top end, lanes one, to lane five.

1:37:151:37:25
1:37:251:37:27

100 metres breaststroke and the world record holder is in lane

1:37:271:37:36

three. He has the green hat from South Africa, he is going again.

1:37:361:37:41

is more controlled, you can tell. He is not snatching at the water,

1:37:411:37:51
1:37:511:37:52

it is a nice, controlled swing. Lane one is going well. Some of

1:37:521:38:02
1:38:021:38:11

these guys are doing two or three has some work to do. It is a really

1:38:111:38:16

tough semi-final but he is not looking back good, Kosuke Kitajima.

1:38:161:38:22

Come on! Cameron van der Burgh is going to win it. Kosuke Kitajima

1:38:231:38:31

has 4th, he did not look good. Cameron van der Burgh paced that

1:38:311:38:37

perfectly. He doesn't even look bothered. That was good. I am glad

1:38:371:38:47
1:38:471:38:56

people think it is a sprint but in energy terms it is a minute. It is

1:38:561:39:00

not like and nine second run. You have to be careful on the first few

1:39:001:39:06

metres. But this two or three strokes set the tone. He glided,

1:39:061:39:11

what was he thinking when his head was down? He did look much more

1:39:111:39:16

controlled. He does not look that bothered, he is excited. He knows.

1:39:161:39:20

Check his tweets after this, I bet he is excited about that. He should

1:39:201:39:30
1:39:301:39:37

Kosuke Kitajima is not guaranteed a final with eight quick gentleman in

1:39:371:39:42

the semi-final. There are two British men in the second semi-

1:39:421:39:51

final. 59.69 is the target. The second semi-final of the men's 100-

1:39:511:39:57

metre breaststroke, they know what they have to do. The 4th finisher

1:39:571:40:07
1:40:071:40:10

Benson, in lane one. 18 years of age. We talked about people before

1:40:101:40:14

swimming junior meet. He did the European juniors this year. He had

1:40:141:40:18

qualified for the British team. He did not make it his main priority.

1:40:181:40:26

This is it. Listen to the ovation. He has his headphones on. Take them

1:40:261:40:35

of vandalism! -- take them off and listen! I am guessing adrenalin

1:40:351:40:43

levels are high. He has gone for the raw, Michael Jamieson from Bath.

1:40:431:40:46

He took his opportunity, the Scottish record, the first man

1:40:461:40:52

under a minute, 59.89 is a personal best time. He was not in the team

1:40:521:40:57

for the 100, but then but as a shoulder injury and someone had to

1:40:571:41:03

pull out. Christian Sprenger, the 200-metre world record holder. He

1:41:031:41:11

has always been the second string and got him at the trials this year.

1:41:111:41:20

On the 100, that is. He got him at the trials. I wonder whether he

1:41:201:41:26

will be fast enough for the final. Look at the size of that guy!

1:41:261:41:34

Bob Dickens of Canada, in six Paul Staines -- in lane six. This guy

1:41:341:41:38

had testicular cancer in 2008. He found out at the Olympic training

1:41:381:41:43

camp. What a thing to find out in Olympic training camp, my goodness

1:41:431:41:50

me, you have got cancer. The Brazilian is completing the line-up.

1:41:501:41:54

Watch him go out fast at the bottom of the picture. The two British men

1:41:541:41:59

will be at the top, Benson, 18 years old. What an opportunity in

1:41:591:42:05

for him. Benson in lane one, Jamieson in lane two. They both

1:42:061:42:12

have red hats. The world champion on the 50 metres at the bottom. I

1:42:121:42:22
1:42:221:42:43

would love to see both the British were not so strong. Slower

1:42:431:42:47

reactions in the Red Caps. They have a lot of work to do here. Look

1:42:471:42:52

at lane four. Christian Sprenger. He has been working on his speed

1:42:521:42:56

this year. He is world renowned for his to run at metres, but this is

1:42:561:43:06
1:43:061:43:07

good for him. Not easy to get out quickly. Glenn Snyders has a

1:43:071:43:10

different stroke, quite flat underwater, he does not use his

1:43:101:43:14

hips as much as the rest of the field. Jamieson is looking good in

1:43:141:43:21

lane two. You can make the final if he gets on with it. He does have to

1:43:211:43:25

come back because these big guys in the centre are going really fast.

1:43:251:43:35
1:43:351:43:51

Jamieson, 59.8 denied. He was third. Craig Benson, 60.13, another great

1:43:511:43:55

swim from him. Jamieson has equalled the Scottish record, set

1:43:551:43:59

in the heats this morning. The same time, twice in one day. Christian

1:43:591:44:04

Sprenger looked like he was tying up, I don't think he was easing off.

1:44:041:44:11

Jamieson might make the final with that. Oh, no, I have just seen our

1:44:111:44:21
1:44:211:44:53

computer. He has missed it. He is as tough as expected. We said the

1:44:531:45:00

first semi-final was loaded. He really could swim from Michael

1:45:001:45:06

Jamieson and Craig Benson. Pretty unusual, six qualifying from the

1:45:061:45:16
1:45:161:45:34

first semi-final, two from the Looking at the scoreboard, and

1:45:341:45:38

thinking it you would getting in third place? Yes, it was pretty

1:45:381:45:43

close. It was a huge chunk of my best time this morning, so were

1:45:431:45:50

treated like that as a final. I was taking caffeine. Being a 200

1:45:511:45:56

swimmer, I need to treat every 100 as a final. It is a bit

1:45:561:46:01

disappointing to finish ninth, but it bodes well for the 200. I am

1:46:011:46:06

pretty chuffed. The crowd were screaming at you. That must bode

1:46:061:46:12

well. Yes, I could hear them, like this morning, it is amazing, it

1:46:121:46:18

makes a difference. I felt like I was tying up a bit in the last 15,

1:46:181:46:22

but I want to say thank you to everybody again, to hear them

1:46:221:46:26

tonight is amazing. It is definitely the best feeling.

1:46:261:46:32

double-edged sword, I know that he wanted to get under 60 seconds.

1:46:321:46:38

really wanted to get into the final, but it was not meant to be. It is a

1:46:381:46:43

fantastic experience, though. is definitely the best experience

1:46:431:46:48

of my life. I have never been to a world championships for a

1:46:481:46:57

Commonwealth Games or anything. I handled it quite well. This is much

1:46:571:47:03

bigger than the crowds I am used to, so I am happy with how I performed.

1:47:031:47:13
1:47:131:47:44

interesting line-up. They do not takeovers in the heats this morning,

1:47:441:47:48

and we looked at Natalie Coughlin and we said it was very close,

1:47:481:47:58
1:47:581:47:59

professional. Right on the wire. There was nothing between her feet

1:47:591:48:04

leaving the block and the previous swimmer touching the wall.

1:48:041:48:12

Extraordinary. Perhaps that is why she is not on the team. That would

1:48:121:48:17

be harsh. She is a great experienced swimmer. But 0.0 is

1:48:171:48:27
1:48:271:48:28

probably too tight! Listen to this. Great Britain in lane eight. Amy

1:48:281:48:34

Smith on the left, Fran Halsall in the red top, Jessica Lloyd and

1:48:341:48:44
1:48:441:48:44

Caitlin McClatchey. Fran Halsall is second, a very interesting decision.

1:48:451:48:52

Amy Smith often leads, but with Fran Halsall second, they want to

1:48:521:48:56

capitalise on what pace they have got, to get amongst the top few

1:48:561:49:02

early on. This will be a heck of a race, the Dutch are so strong. They

1:49:021:49:12
1:49:121:49:33

will be happy to repeat their gold Dutch. They do start as the

1:49:331:49:40

favourites for May. Inge Dekke with a very good start in did. She

1:49:401:49:43

pulled out of the individual race to give the Dutch a very good

1:49:431:49:53
1:49:531:50:08

Right at the bottom, Amy Smith looking really good. It will be

1:50:081:50:18
1:50:181:50:25

lovely to see her go below 54 decent lead off. Now, we have Fran

1:50:251:50:33

Halsall. As expected, the USA and the Dutch. Eighth place for the

1:50:331:50:37

Dutch, really surprising. The Chinese coming back on the

1:50:371:50:47
1:50:471:50:49

Americans. The USA lead-in. Australia coming back. Australia

1:50:501:50:59

are looking pretty good here. Australia always seen to do this,

1:50:591:51:09
1:51:091:51:09

they are so tough in relays. The halfway mark. USA, Australia second,

1:51:091:51:14

Fran Halsall has had a fantastic leg. Great Britain are in third

1:51:141:51:19

position. Really exciting. fantastic split from Fran Halsall,

1:51:191:51:25

she has given the team the best shot. Jess Lloyd, she has got some

1:51:251:51:33

work now. She has got clear water to her left. China are trying to

1:51:331:51:40

pull back into third place. They will not like this. Great Britain

1:51:401:51:50
1:51:501:52:01

zero. Six-second -- Great Britain It looks like it might be Australia.

1:52:011:52:07

It looked a good takeover. Australia, the USA, and a third

1:52:071:52:14

place, it is Holland. They have got the fastest in the world on their

1:52:141:52:24
1:52:241:52:26

final leg. She is catching up. Great Britain in fifth place.

1:52:261:52:35

Dutch could possibly win this. She has had a haircut a year. -- one

1:52:351:52:45
1:52:451:52:46

heck of a year. The Americans look to be tailing off. This is a

1:52:461:52:54

brilliant swimmer from the Australian. It is the gold medal to

1:52:541:52:59

Australia, the silver to Holland, the bronze to America, and Britain

1:52:591:53:05

finished fifth. A good swim from lane eight. They were a call seven

1:53:051:53:12

for daring in, and they have come fifth, very good. -- they were

1:53:121:53:18

equal seventh place going in. They have got out of the ball straight

1:53:181:53:28
1:53:281:53:29

away, they are not supposed to. Some red lights lit on the blocks.

1:53:291:53:39
1:53:391:53:43

No. 4 and number five. It denotes who to finish his first and second.

1:53:431:53:49

-- who finishes first and second. Sweden got disqualified, they were

1:53:491:53:59
1:53:591:54:00

not really in it anyway. I am surprised the Australians held off

1:54:001:54:10
1:54:101:54:10

the Dutch. The Dutch has a quick 50. It might have been too much. In the

1:54:101:54:20

end, it was pretty comfortable. 0.6. It is a lot. Olympic champion!

1:54:201:54:30
1:54:301:54:41

Stunning. The American leader of, 53.5. -- lead-off. A bit of a shock

1:54:411:54:51
1:54:511:54:56

for me, that one. Great Britain, Great Britain improving on their

1:54:561:55:01

qualifying time, finishing fifth. There are positives at the end of

1:55:011:55:05

the evening to take out for the British team. Yes, it shows what

1:55:051:55:11

the home crowd can do. They gave it a really good shot. It was a great

1:55:111:55:17

team effort, it bodes well for Fran Halsall in the freestyle events.

1:55:171:55:21

The Olympic Games, you want to perform properly. The Dutch were

1:55:211:55:25

the red-hot favourites, we have had some upsets tonight. Anything is

1:55:251:55:33

possible. We have had a gold medal for Ryan Lochte, two for China, and

1:55:331:55:37

it is not fair, you have the British crowd shouting, and you

1:55:371:55:45

have got people with some Ulster Bank, which is louder! -- with

1:55:451:55:54

cymbals to bang! Every time they have had somebody in the final,

1:55:541:55:58

they have dominated. You do not know what will happen when it comes

1:55:581:56:03

to a big championships. With the British team, we expect success, we

1:56:041:56:10

expect to make the final. We are not like we were five or six years

1:56:101:56:17

ago. The one who will field worst tonight, Hannah Miley. Let's get a

1:56:171:56:23

reaction from the four women who finished fifth.

1:56:231:56:26

Congratulations, I know you wanted to do better, but it was really

1:56:261:56:31

respectable. Yes, at the world championships last year, we did not

1:56:311:56:37

make the final. It showed how much we improved. If we keep continuing,

1:56:371:56:43

it is fabulous. Were you pleased or disappointed with your Lake? I did

1:56:431:56:49

not expect much. For reasons unknown to me, the time has not

1:56:491:56:55

been right all year. I am a racer, I wanted to get in a race. I have

1:56:551:57:01

been good in training, but I wanted to step up. I was looking forward

1:57:011:57:06

to the relay, we did a good job. How was your first experience of an

1:57:061:57:12

Olympic Games? It is not bad, making a final, first time round.

1:57:121:57:18

Especially being so close to a medal. I will be grabbing one next

1:57:181:57:25

time around. Was it scary, with the noise? It is partisan. It is

1:57:251:57:30

fantastic. If anything, it is encouragement. You cannot complain

1:57:301:57:36

about it. It really lifts you, I cannot thank everybody enough.

1:57:361:57:41

have got races to come. Yes, I am racing on Monday, but I have

1:57:411:57:48

enjoyed racing with the goals tonight. We did an awesome job. We

1:57:481:57:53

just missed the British record, so I am proud of all of us. We will

1:57:531:57:58

see you soon. In terms of tomorrow, there is

1:57:581:58:03

plenty for the British team to get excited about. Rebecca Adlington

1:58:031:58:07

defending her 400-metre freestyle title. But we have to be realistic,

1:58:071:58:14

it is not a certainty that she will win. We did it with Tom Daley in

1:58:141:58:20

the diving, you pick a gold medal on to somebody. She is the reigning

1:58:201:58:26

champion and our most successful swimmer, but this is not her main

1:58:261:58:31

event. Upsets can happen. We have had a great evening. We generally

1:58:311:58:36

want our swimmers to win medals, but it does not always happen. The

1:58:361:58:41

USA or strong, China have had a great need. If you get up there and

1:58:411:58:47

have some fun, they can be some great stuff. We saw a glimpse of

1:58:471:58:56

the American star, she is only 17, she is 6 ft 4. Unbelievable swimmer.

1:58:561:59:01

It did not come off in the relay, but we will see her in the 100

1:59:011:59:06

metres backstroke tomorrow, against Gemma Spofforth. Gemma is a big

1:59:071:59:15

girl as well. She is about six for it. But it is the arms ban, it is

1:59:151:59:22

longer than her height. It is like Michael Phelps. Swimmers tend to

1:59:221:59:29

have long dams. -- long arms. It is interesting to see them doing other

1:59:291:59:35

events. If you do not make it through, you do not get another

1:59:351:59:41

chance. I have gone to Olympics in the past, we have had three or four

1:59:411:59:46

people in the hall Olympics make the final, so we have started well.

1:59:461:59:51

It is a huge step up in terms of achievement and the depth of talent.

1:59:511:59:55

You are a good reader of body- language, you saw them as they came

1:59:552:00:03

out, what is your feelings about It is good. They will be

2:00:032:00:07

disappointed they have missed out on the guys getting into one of the

2:00:072:00:10

spots in the breaststroke, particularly Michael, her talent

2:00:102:00:14

and the 200 metres. It would have been good for him to get a place.

2:00:142:00:19

It will be a close race. I am excited. I am excited to see

2:00:192:00:22

Rebecca Adlington tomorrow. The 400 metres freestyle is going to be a

2:00:232:00:27

good race. She will be up against pedigree knee, who messed up four

2:00:272:00:36

years ago. She is in really good shape. The 800 is there one we

2:00:362:00:40

expect Rebecca Adlington to defend the most, but if she can do the

2:00:402:00:44

double, that would be incredible. The heats start him and semi-finals,

2:00:442:00:48

the heats, some heats go straight to finals, some go to semi-finals,

2:00:482:00:53

they start at 10am tomorrow. We will see the an Tancock in the 100-

2:00:532:00:57

metre backstroke. There is the reigning world champion at 50

2:00:572:01:01

metres, he has the speed and training and he says he is born to

2:01:012:01:06

race. 17,500 people, he will be one of the people who uses this crowd,

2:01:062:01:12

I am hoping, and gets a medal for us. Many watching this evening will

2:01:122:01:16

be new Ryan Lochte fans and you can see him again tomorrow, going for a

2:01:162:01:20

second gold medal. There is plenty to come from here, where we saw

2:01:202:01:25

Phelps not even make the podium but Ryan Lochte came out in front.

2:01:252:01:29

Thank you very much, that is it from the Aquatics Centre for this

2:01:292:01:33

evening. You have a long arms because you at -- because I saw you

2:01:332:01:37

punching the air in the Australian victory. It was a good victory, a

2:01:372:01:41

marvellous night of swimming here. I appreciate being able to watch it.

2:01:412:01:46

The highlight of the evening for you? The highlight of the evening,

2:01:462:01:51

I think the 400 metres, that blew me away tonight, the result was

2:01:512:01:56

patriotic but it was impressive. Thank you very much, that is the

2:01:562:01:59

swimming for day one. There is lots more sport to show you over the

2:01:592:02:09
2:02:092:02:12

have women's football. That is coming up very shortly, Great

2:02:122:02:19

Britain against Cameroon. We have gymnastics, the men's team in

2:02:192:02:29

action. We look forward to that. We also have boxing. High expectations

2:02:292:02:37

from the British team at the Olympic Games. After the tearful

2:02:372:02:43

heart break of his defeat at Wimbledon 20 days ago, Andy Murray

2:02:432:02:48

was back in SW19 today, alongside his brother, Jamie, in the doubles.

2:02:482:02:53

After winning the first set against the Austrian pair, the second went

2:02:532:02:58

to a tie-break. It is quite a way down the river to Wimbledon from

2:02:582:03:04

here! That is what I call an Olympic lane. There you go, there

2:03:042:03:14
2:03:142:03:16

it is. Centre Court. Perfectly done. We join the action with the British

2:03:162:03:26
2:03:262:03:31

Frustration from Jamie Murray. knew he had a good look at that

2:03:312:03:35

second serve on to his backhand side, which is his favoured

2:03:352:03:40

returning win, but he could not do enough with it. It is vital that

2:03:402:03:45

Andy Murray can win two points here on his serve, keep the British pair

2:03:452:03:55
2:03:552:03:55

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

2:03:552:04:43

Quick, easy points for Murray. They Two Serves four the Austrians,

2:04:432:04:53
2:04:532:05:13

Oh, it is good, very good from Andy Murray did very well to get

2:05:132:05:18

that return back in and with the flick of a risk, a half volley from

2:05:182:05:28
2:05:282:05:35

the baseline, Jenni Murray able to He gets himself all out of position.

2:05:352:05:45
2:05:452:05:53

Still on serve, but a set point for He doesn't have the same weaponry

2:05:532:06:03
2:06:032:06:34

as Andy Murray, but what he will A body served from Andy Murray and

2:06:342:06:44
2:06:442:06:44

the British pair survive a four now. -- survive for now. Certainly the

2:06:442:06:50

best atmosphere I have heard in a long time. It is a Davis Cup-style

2:06:502:06:56

atmosphere. A first-round doubles match. Great to see the support for

2:06:562:07:06
2:07:062:07:07

If they can hold out on this serve from Jamie Murray, the advantage

2:07:072:07:17
2:07:172:07:35

Well, instead, the UN -- the advantage and the set. And serve

2:07:352:07:45
2:07:452:08:01

goes to the Austrians and Jurgen And there it is, we are level at

2:08:012:08:05

one set all, in to a decider. There is not much applause around here

2:08:052:08:12

but you have to applaud the Austrians for Hani in there.

2:08:122:08:15

GARY LINEKAR: The Austrians winning that said proved crucial because

2:08:152:08:21

for a while later it was all over for the Murray brothers and the

2:08:212:08:24

Austrians are through to the next round. More disappointment for Andy

2:08:242:08:30

Murray. And his brother, Jamie Foster we can hear from them now,

2:08:302:08:34

their reaction after that game. They have been talking to Tanya

2:08:342:08:42

It was a high quality much both of us played, both teams played well

2:08:422:08:46

through the match and doubles can come down to a couple of shops and

2:08:462:08:51

a couple of points. They got them at the end -- a couple of shots.

2:08:512:08:58

Disappointing. Like Andy said, we had a couple of chances and we

2:08:582:09:03

could have got it in two sets but those guys played well. Some great

2:09:032:09:09

returns in the third set. It set us back. At the end and we came up a

2:09:092:09:13

bit short. What did it feel to be back here at Wimbledon? It is great,

2:09:132:09:18

every time I play here. I always enjoy it. The crowd were fantastic.

2:09:182:09:25

It was a fun atmosphere. I am disappointed to lose.

2:09:252:09:32

There are singles tomorrow for Andy Murray, he plays Wawrinka. A

2:09:322:09:35

beautiful Skype in London this evening, just like it was last

2:09:352:09:40

night, 24 hours ago, almost exactly the opening ceremony got under way.

2:09:402:09:46

It was a great spectacle, a great triumph for Danny Boyle. All those

2:09:462:09:49

people that took part in that ceremony, we have got one of them

2:09:492:09:57

here. Desiree Henry, you 11 of the seven young athletes that came at

2:09:572:10:01

the end that lap -- that lit the torch and took it off Steve

2:10:012:10:06

Redgrave. How excited was that? Absolutely exciting, I enjoyed the

2:10:062:10:10

whole experience. When did you get to hear what you were going to do?

2:10:102:10:16

It was a week before. Just one week? Just one week but for me as a

2:10:162:10:20

teenager that was hard to keep from my friends and my dad and my

2:10:202:10:23

sisters as well. I was really happy that I did keep the surprise

2:10:232:10:27

because the shock for them was just amazing and that is what I wanted

2:10:272:10:32

to hear. This is you. Describe your emotions as you went round there,

2:10:322:10:37

in front of all those people and great athletes. It was emotional.

2:10:372:10:41

But one point I thought I was about to cry. After all the hard work,

2:10:412:10:45

what an amazing opportunity for me as an athlete anyway, just to go

2:10:462:10:48

out there and like the torch and represent the young, up coming

2:10:482:10:53

athletes. How many times did you get to rehearse this particular?

2:10:532:10:57

This particular part, only once. On the day, it seemed like a different

2:10:572:11:02

experience, it was amazing. Were you nervous? Yes. My legs were

2:11:022:11:06

shaking. Once the adrenalin kicked in and the positive energy from the

2:11:062:11:11

crowds kicked in, I felt relaxed. That was amazing, the torch. It was

2:11:112:11:15

incredible. We did not know what was going to come from this and it

2:11:152:11:20

emerged into a beautiful sculptural piece that we saw there. You have

2:11:212:11:25

probably spotted Amir Khan, who has sneaked in. You were there,

2:11:252:11:28

watching? I was there, the atmosphere was brilliant. These

2:11:282:11:34

guys did a great job. We were talking, I said, we you know this?

2:11:342:11:39

She said she was shaking. Anybody would be shaking on such a big

2:11:392:11:45

occasion. What a great ceremony it was. You are an aspiring athlete, a

2:11:452:11:50

world of youth champion at two have metres. Yes. Your dream? I am

2:11:502:11:54

working on it. This year I went to the world junior championships and

2:11:542:11:57

despite injury, I made the final and came force which was a personal

2:11:572:12:02

achievement. It tops it up, coming here and lighting the cauldron.

2:12:022:12:08

What is your ambition? How far? To be here at another Olympic Stadium?

2:12:082:12:13

In four years time we have the Olympics, I hope to be there.

2:12:132:12:17

hope to see you performing at competing and winning the medal,

2:12:172:12:23

the same colour as that. Fingers crossed. What was your favourite

2:12:232:12:27

moment of the opening ceremony? What really blew me away and what

2:12:272:12:31

was beautiful was the change from looking at the English countryside

2:12:312:12:36

and what existed here for hundreds of years, into what was the

2:12:362:12:44

industrial revolution. This was the big moment. The forged rings that

2:12:442:12:51

emerged, incredible. Also, the Queen. I mean, she delivered that

2:12:512:12:56

line perfectly, Her Majesty did a good job. I think that the Queen

2:12:562:13:02

saying, good evening, Mr Bond, was the best television in history.

2:13:022:13:05

Queen's speech was brilliant and also Sebastian Coe, who did an

2:13:052:13:15
2:13:152:13:19

amazing speech. Overall it was Good evening, Mr Bond. Good evening,

2:13:192:13:29
2:13:292:13:31

Priceless. I wonder when he approached the Queen and asked her,,

2:13:312:13:37

who said, we got this idea. When she was sat at the desk, we thought

2:13:372:13:42

it was a lookalike, we have seen it so many times before. There was

2:13:422:13:44

that pause, when you thought it was not the Queen, then it was the

2:13:442:13:49

Queen. Apart from your bit, what was your favourite moment? For me

2:13:492:13:53

personally, seeing the kids come out. The nurses and doctors seen,

2:13:532:13:59

seeing the kids jumping on the bed. A thought it was nice. I thought it

2:13:592:14:02

was a nice opportunity for volunteers to get the spotlight and

2:14:022:14:07

appreciate doctors and nurses. celebration of the NHS. We wish you

2:14:072:14:11

all the very best in the future and it is lovely that you Caimin and

2:14:112:14:16

treasure that, look after it. will. A wonderful moment. Let's

2:14:162:14:21

turn our attention to football and Britain's women were in action this

2:14:212:14:24

evening after beating New Zealand in their first game. They faced

2:14:242:14:27

Cameroon and they knew that a win would take them through to the

2:14:272:14:37
2:14:372:14:44

support for Hope Powell's team. They will get a place in the

2:14:442:14:54
2:14:542:15:00

quarter-final if they see off the that beat New Zealand 1-0 here on

2:15:012:15:05

Wednesday, with an impressive team performance. There had been talk.

2:15:052:15:13

For Ellen White, but Kim Little keeps her place. Anita Asante the

2:15:132:15:20

only player who will have to watch her step, on a yellow card. Two

2:15:202:15:25

changes to the Cameroon team beaten by Brazil in their first game.

2:15:252:15:35
2:15:352:16:08

Francine Zouga and Adrienne Iven sticking to her task. It is the

2:16:082:16:15

defending. She frustrated Kelly Smith. Cameron have the advantage,

2:16:152:16:25

they have looked at the first game -- Cameroon. Kelly Smith went toe-

2:16:252:16:35
2:16:352:16:35

to-toe with Christine Manie. A yellow card. Kelly Smith was taken

2:16:352:16:44

out before the ball was touched. Annette Ngo Ndom did not get there,

2:16:442:16:50

and it is a tap-in for Casey Stoney. The free-kick conceded, quickly

2:16:502:16:55

followed by a goal conceded. Barely a flicker of emotion from Hope

2:16:552:16:59

Powell, but it is a different story in the stands are. She cannot

2:16:592:17:08

believe her luck, she ghosted in at the back. I do not think she

2:17:082:17:13

thought the ball would end up there, but fair play. That is the goal

2:17:132:17:21

they needed early on. That will settle the nerves. What a terrible

2:17:212:17:26

minute for Cameroon, Christine Manie gave away the free-kick, she

2:17:262:17:30

got a yellow card, she will miss the final game against New Zealand

2:17:302:17:37

in Coventry, and seconds later, they are 1-0 down. Jill Scott makes

2:17:372:17:44

it 2-0. Great Britain are well and truly in the box seat. That is a

2:17:442:17:53

really well-worked goal. They keep the ball, they move it quickly. 2-0

2:17:532:17:58

at this stage, you could not ask for more. It was great movement

2:17:582:18:04

from Jill Scott. Calm and collected, the finish from Jill Scott. She

2:18:042:18:14
2:18:142:18:15

will be pleased with that. Cameroon are coming to make a substitution,

2:18:152:18:25
2:18:252:18:25

and it is Baby P rien, the left- back, going off. -- Bebey Beyene.

2:18:252:18:34

This could be a tactical switch. Bibi Medoua comes on. The

2:18:342:18:39

goalkeeper has kept out Kelly Smith, it is a corner. Bibi Medoua's first

2:18:392:18:46

touch was to put the ball behind. Kelly Smith took a great position.

2:18:462:18:56
2:18:562:19:07

She was not offside, it was a great Bibi Medoua. The referee was ready

2:19:072:19:17
2:19:172:19:33

been a fingertip from the another goal is coming soon. It is

2:19:332:19:37

a great save from the goalkeeper, onto the post, from Stephanie

2:19:372:19:47
2:19:472:19:57

malicious. It was a good try from Francine Zouga. Karen Bardsley was

2:19:572:20:04

not 100% sure that was the required. That is the finger at this level,

2:20:042:20:10

each international team have got players that can hurt you. Karen

2:20:102:20:20
2:20:202:20:49

predominantly right-footed. Annette substitute, Bibi Medoua. Anita

2:20:492:20:54

Asante is still down in the penalty area. It will be a free-kick for

2:20:542:21:04

Cameroon anyway. Anita Asante with another headed effort. I think she

2:21:042:21:08

thought she would score. She got the boot from Francine Zouga. If

2:21:082:21:13

that is not dangerous play in terms of the boot being raised, why did

2:21:132:21:18

not know what is. There is blurred. The referee should have seen it.

2:21:182:21:28

head injury, the referee has to stop it. They are looking a lot

2:21:282:21:37

better on the ball, Cameroon. It was blocked by Ife Dieke. Cameroon

2:21:372:21:44

have the corner. It was good work from Madeleine Ngono Mani. It shows

2:21:442:21:48

the quality that Cameroon have going forward. It was good

2:21:482:21:58
2:21:582:21:59

defending. She has gone down hurting. It was a slight tug. Ife

2:21:592:22:04

Dieke is holding her face, I hope it was not a twist and something

2:22:042:22:11

badly wrong with the knee. There is the slip, there is no real blame

2:22:112:22:20

attached to the Cameroon player, Ajara Nchout. The knee went one way,

2:22:202:22:24

the food went the other. I hope that is not as bad as those

2:22:242:22:34
2:22:342:22:45

Ndom. It is another good save from the Cameroon goalkeeper, she has

2:22:452:22:52

been death stand-out player. -- she has been fair stand-out player.

2:22:522:22:57

was an excellent effort from Kim Little. She could not get on the

2:22:582:23:07
2:23:082:23:29

Britain have sealed the win and their place in the quarter-finals.

2:23:292:23:37

A thunderous strike. It is great patience by Kim Little. She could

2:23:372:23:42

not get a shot off, so she saw where Stephanie Houghton was. She

2:23:422:23:49

is not saving that. Two in two, not bad for a left-back! Does a great

2:23:492:23:59
2:23:592:24:03

We played well enough to win the game. We were disciplined. We

2:24:032:24:09

executed it, three goals, it could have been more, I am very satisfied

2:24:092:24:14

with the result. I am fairly happy. What did you make of the referee?

2:24:142:24:20

The referee saw what she saw, she had a good game. Thankfully, all of

2:24:202:24:27

our players are OK, touch wood. It is a hard enough job, we have got

2:24:272:24:34

to give them credit. All of our players are OK, thankfully, Kelly

2:24:342:24:39

is OK, and everybody else. We have got six points, and now we prepare

2:24:392:24:45

for the next game. Could you have had more calls? Yes, in the first

2:24:452:24:49

half. In the second half, things changed around, they came at us a

2:24:492:24:56

bit more. I am happy we held on, and it is good we added another

2:24:562:25:00

goal in the second half. They are talking about 7000 against Brazil

2:25:002:25:08

at Wembley. -- 70,000. All of us have dreamed about playing at

2:25:082:25:12

Wembley. We have qualified for the quarter-finals, but we want to

2:25:122:25:18

finish top of the group. We try to win every game. It will be an

2:25:182:25:22

honour for these girls to play at Wembley. We know that Brazil are a

2:25:222:25:28

decent side, they won again today. It will be a good contest. It will

2:25:282:25:32

give us a barometer of how far we have come.

2:25:322:25:37

Some rare good news on day one. Also in action, Brazil and New

2:25:372:25:47
2:25:472:26:00

All of New Zealand's hard work comes to nothing. In the end, a

2:26:002:26:08

moment of true class told. The lob was so accurate and so devastating.

2:26:082:26:14

The leading scorer in Olympic history has struck again. It was a

2:26:142:26:24
2:26:242:26:37

good ball into the box. She carries quarter-finals along with Brazil.

2:26:372:26:45

Those teams play on Tuesday at Wembley, they will both want to top

2:26:452:26:48

the group, because then they will play one of the best ranked third-

2:26:482:26:56

placed teams. The stadium is beautiful, the top at night. They

2:26:562:27:04

are getting it ready for the After the terrific result, I am

2:27:042:27:09

joined by somebody who should have been part of it. You have got more

2:27:092:27:14

important things ahead! I am nearly seven months pregnant, so I missed

2:27:142:27:21

out. Any regrets?! I have been struggling with injury problems, I

2:27:212:27:29

have had a few operations with my knees. I am getting older as well.

2:27:292:27:33

But yes, something like this, you always have those feelings of

2:27:332:27:36

wishing you were there. You would have been the captain, we think.

2:27:372:27:43

Maybe. They are doing very well. They got off to a brilliant start

2:27:432:27:48

against New Zealand. They result today shows they are a hard team to

2:27:482:27:55

break down. Brazil struggled to beat them. If that had finished

2:27:552:28:03

goalless, we would have been in an even better position. This match to

2:28:032:28:07

be played at Wembley, the girls are looking forward to that. There is

2:28:072:28:12

talk of it being a big crowd. We have had more opportunities in both

2:28:122:28:17

Games to have scored, which is really pleasing. The next few days

2:28:172:28:21

of training, they might need to work on their finishing. But yes,

2:28:212:28:27

it is good to have six points. to the aspirations lie? How far can

2:28:272:28:33

the team go? Certainly medal contenders. With a tournament, it

2:28:332:28:38

depends on who you get. You have to be the best team. The biggest

2:28:382:28:45

dangers? America, they are the reigning champions, they have been

2:28:452:28:49

for the last two Olympics. Brazil, they are strong, they have got to

2:28:492:28:54

the finals before, they have a lot of experience. France will be a

2:28:552:28:59

danger team, the dark horses, although they lost to America and

2:28:592:29:03

the first round. And Japan, the world champions. Which of the

2:29:032:29:08

British players have impressed you most so far? Anita Asante has been

2:29:082:29:14

brilliant in midfield, she has come in recently instead of Fara

2:29:142:29:18

Williams. She could have had three or four goals if she had finished

2:29:182:29:23

with her head a bit better. The stand out so far is Stephanie

2:29:232:29:32

Houghton. Two goals. We saw her free-kick in the first game, how

2:29:322:29:36

good she is with the technique on her white but, but she looks so

2:29:362:29:42

confident at the moment, getting forward. She scored again today,

2:29:422:29:48

she is seizing the moment. She missed out on two major tournaments

2:29:482:29:54

in 2007 and 2009, she is such a positive, happy-go-lucky girl, it

2:29:542:30:04

is nice to see her finally getting One of the most popular events up

2:30:042:30:07

the game's is always do gymnastics. Qualifying for the men's team event

2:30:072:30:13

has been going on all day in three separate sessions. Team GB were out

2:30:132:30:23
2:30:232:30:32

early at the North Greenwich Arena. his second Vault we are about to

2:30:322:30:42
2:30:422:30:46

the Vault he hopes will take him into the final. The first four or

2:30:462:30:56
2:30:562:31:17

round competition. He did that just was untidy. Two elements with feet

2:31:172:31:22

slightly apart. He faltered there, just a bit of a step. He has looked

2:31:222:31:26

a bit unsettled in training on this apparatus. He will be very pleased

2:31:262:31:31

to have fought his way through without major error there. A little

2:31:312:31:37

pause there, he has had such a busy season. He won the British

2:31:372:31:44

Championships just three 4-4 years ago. A lovely dismount. It was a

2:31:442:31:54

bit of a battling performance but he never gives up. 14.733. Kristian

2:31:542:32:00

Thomas on high bar. He didn't pick performance at the European

2:32:002:32:05

Championships -- he did and epic performance. He saved the day.

2:32:052:32:09

he kept his composure was remarkable. We are looking for a

2:32:092:32:19
2:32:192:32:19

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

2:32:192:33:16

Thomas, good and solid, once again. Max Whitlock. 19 years old. The

2:33:162:33:26
2:33:262:33:46

first European gold for Great confidence of youth, 19 years old.

2:33:462:33:56
2:33:562:34:30

Class C work. Max Whitlock is thriving in the knowledge -- in the

2:34:302:34:37

North Greenwich Arena. Outstanding stuff. He is greeted off the floor,

2:34:372:34:42

absolutely delighted. Twisting awareness is amazing. What an open

2:34:422:34:52
2:34:522:34:56

clever little half turned halfway through the flair. One other

2:34:562:35:01

gymnast does it, but not like Max Whitlock. It is a three-quarter

2:35:012:35:11
2:35:112:35:19

start for Great Britain. He has not done his chances for a place in the

2:35:192:35:28

final to much harm. We will see where that puts him. 15.266 for Max

2:35:282:35:34

Whitlock and Great Britain. He has the third highest score one for so

2:35:342:35:44
2:35:442:36:08

far. Kristian Thomas. Another great precise on landing. The difficulty

2:36:082:36:18
2:36:182:36:53

control. A good low position of the strong, very confident. Great stuff.

2:36:532:36:58

This is something else. The finest gymnastics that Great Britain have

2:36:582:37:04

ever produced. Really special performance from Kristian Thomas

2:37:042:37:09

there. He has been such a steady performer for the British team. A

2:37:092:37:14

tall gymnast, he really has to choose the schools carefully on the

2:37:142:37:24
2:37:242:37:27

impressive because of the extra height they can get. It is a big

2:37:272:37:34

ask for them because the space is quite small for them but he had

2:37:342:37:42

precision on the landing. 15.366, the third-highest score we have

2:37:432:37:49

seen on the floor this morning. This is Great Britain's Louis Smith.

2:37:492:37:59
2:37:592:37:59

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds

2:37:592:38:52

but this is where it can all be Louis Smith. That deserves a final

2:38:522:38:56

place. He will be absolutely chuffed. Louis Smith, the Olympic

2:38:562:39:06
2:39:062:39:11

bronze medallist. He has the chance he could not perform today, all the

2:39:112:39:17

talk was for nothing because to date is way you make that final and

2:39:172:39:21

I think for all the gymnasts this is the pressure day. He has worked

2:39:212:39:27

on his line so much. Much-improved, legs lovely and tight together.

2:39:272:39:32

Liked you say, the difficulty might be slightly down but the

2:39:322:39:42
2:39:422:39:48

little bit more difficulty and nails the landing and look at the

2:39:482:39:55

relief in his face. That is sheer relief. Now, a little bit of

2:39:552:40:00

emotion. He is overcome. support and relief of what he has

2:40:002:40:06

achieved. 15.8, Louise Smith is in the Olympic pommel horse final and

2:40:062:40:09

he has a chance to go better than the bronze he got in Beijing --

2:40:092:40:19
2:40:192:40:20

Louis Smith. Wonderful stuff. You out qualified the world and

2:40:202:40:24

Olympic champions in China. You must be feeling fantastic? We felt

2:40:242:40:27

ready for a long time and we did not worry about what other people

2:40:272:40:31

were doing. We concentrated on us. We stood together as a team. We did

2:40:312:40:35

not care what was going on around us. We fed off the crowd. People

2:40:352:40:40

here were fantastic. We proved today what we can do. If you do

2:40:402:40:44

qualify as we expect, the first GB men's to qualify for an Olympic

2:40:442:40:49

final, what can this team achieve? The talent in this team is

2:40:492:40:52

unbelievable. We don't go out and say where we want to come, we we

2:40:522:40:57

just do our best but we have a special group of boys here and if

2:40:572:41:02

we can do it by today, we can upset the competition. Let me ask

2:41:022:41:06

Kristian Thomas a couple of questions. Top qualifier in the

2:41:062:41:11

all-rounder in this sub-division. You are on fire? Thank you. This is

2:41:112:41:15

no fluke. We have put the hours in the gym, the blood, sweat and tears.

2:41:152:41:18

It feels good to show the audience what we have been working on and

2:41:182:41:25

doing. We will be in the team final, we will get our head time -- head

2:41:252:41:29

down and focus on that. GARY LINEKAR: Well done, gentleman.

2:41:292:41:33

Through to the final. The gymnastics is still going on, the

2:41:332:41:39

final session. You can watch it on BBC Three. There is plenty of other

2:41:392:41:49
2:41:492:41:51

ways to watch live events tonight the BBC Sport Olympic website.

2:41:512:41:57

There is that flame, that magical moment, 24 hours ago almost. The

2:41:572:42:01

flame, the torch was lit and the Olympics got under way. It is quite

2:42:012:42:10

I am rejoined by Amir Khan. No success for Britain yet in the

2:42:102:42:15

Olympics? No success, but it will come back strong, we will come out

2:42:152:42:20

stronger. We have the home nation advantage and the fans he was

2:42:202:42:23

supporting us, so in a couple of days the medals will start rolling

2:42:232:42:28

in. You are a man who knows what it is like to win a medal, silver in

2:42:282:42:33

Athens eight years ago. A long time. Time flies. Describe the experience

2:42:332:42:41

of winning that. You were the only boxer who won? I was the only boxer

2:42:412:42:44

in the 2004 Athens Olympics and I had to qualify, go through the

2:42:442:42:48

procedure. It was tough to qualify, but when I was there I was on my

2:42:482:42:54

own, 17 years old. I was tough, fighting against men. Men who were

2:42:542:42:58

older and physically stronger than me, so I had to use skill to win

2:42:582:43:02

the fight. I was lucky and got to win the silver medal. I lost out in

2:43:032:43:08

the final against the legend, the Cuban fighter. But from that I

2:43:082:43:13

learned so much, the experience I got changed my life. We have seen

2:43:132:43:17

so many great boxers come through the Olympics. It is the only sport

2:43:172:43:22

not open to professionals. That is right, the only sport not open for

2:43:222:43:27

professionals. I imagine if it was, you would have myself in their and

2:43:272:43:32

others. Do you wish it was, would you like another go? I wish it was,

2:43:322:43:36

this is London and it would be amazing. If I had known that the

2:43:362:43:42

Olympics might be at London in 2012, I might have stayed. I am 25. I am

2:43:422:43:46

young. There is a lot of professionals who turn professional

2:43:462:43:50

at 25, but I did it earlier. There has been good investment in boxing

2:43:502:43:53

and we are seeing the rewards. We have a lot of fighters with a

2:43:532:43:58

chance, haven't we? We have ten fighters who have qualified, women

2:43:582:44:01

boxers involved, amateurs, it is the first time they are competing

2:44:012:44:06

in the Olympic Games. Boxing is going up and up and we have over

2:44:062:44:11

eight guys who have qualified. They all look great, favourites to get

2:44:112:44:15

medals. They have a great chance of getting a medal. It is about

2:44:152:44:19

staying focused. Today, one of the fighters fought and had a great

2:44:192:44:24

performance, Anthony Ogogo, who I think will win a medal if he keeps

2:44:242:44:29

focus and keeps winning. We will see that in a few moments. What is

2:44:292:44:33

the key to being successful in an Olympic Games? You were very

2:44:332:44:36

experienced at that time. What did you learn from that particular

2:44:362:44:41

experience? I learnt a lot from going to the Olympic Games. When I

2:44:422:44:46

went there I was isolated, away from my friends and family, I

2:44:462:44:49

turned by mobile phones off and I focused on my job. The two weeks,

2:44:492:44:55

it is the biggest two weeks of my life and I had to focus and not

2:44:552:44:58

make any mistakes because I might never get a chance to go to the

2:44:582:45:01

Olympics again. I knew in a way if I did really well it could change

2:45:012:45:07

my life around, which it did. Or you have to do is stay focused,

2:45:072:45:11

stick to training hard, working hard and I think I'm working hard

2:45:112:45:15

you will get to the top. The I have to ask you did before I let you go,

2:45:152:45:21

you will be back, world champion again? Confident? Definitely, I am

2:45:212:45:26

only 25. 100%, I will be back and I will win a world We Shall Overcome

2:45:262:45:30

and bring it back to Britain. That is what we want, it is a big year

2:45:302:45:35

for us. I will try to get a rematch. If not, I will fight for the world

2:45:352:45:39

We Shall Overcome soon. We wish you all the best in the future and

2:45:392:45:43

thank you for joining us. Let's see what has been happening in the ring

2:45:432:45:48

today. Action one of seven boxers with a medal possibilities, Amir

2:45:482:45:56

Khan has given a result away! The middleweight Anthony Ogogo to come

2:45:572:45:59

Castillo Martinez from the Dominican Republic. We join the

2:45:592:46:09
2:46:092:46:18

Anthony Ogogo leads, 3-2. Having worked so hard to secure the

2:46:182:46:23

Olympic qualification, just the top two came through out of the

2:46:232:46:29

European qualifiers, he overturned a seven-point deficit in the

2:46:292:46:33

quarter-final and he made it through. He was faced with what he

2:46:332:46:37

considered to be the hardest decision of his life, his mother

2:46:372:46:41

suffering from a serious illness, so serious, he considered

2:46:412:46:46

withdrawing from the Olympics. After taking Council from his

2:46:462:46:52

family, he decided to compete. His mother is his ultimate inspiration,

2:46:522:47:00

and here he is. He has had it tough of late, with the family affair.

2:47:002:47:08

But his head is right, that is important. This is it, this is his

2:47:082:47:17

chance, the stage is set. A good right hand. It was his leading

2:47:172:47:25

right hand. A really effective offensive weapon against the South

2:47:252:47:32

Pole. He used it beautifully. After the World Championships, he failed

2:47:322:47:38

to make the qualification stages. He lost to the eventual bronze-

2:47:382:47:43

medallist from Brazil. He underwent shoulder surgery. It was a race

2:47:432:47:48

against time to make it back. He took his rehab very seriously, he

2:47:492:47:55

worked intensely, and now, here he is. He needs to increase the work

2:47:552:48:01

rate. He is not working hard enough. The pace is suiting his opponent a

2:48:012:48:06

bit better. He is keeping his guard tight, but he has got to throw more

2:48:062:48:11

punches in clusters. There are too many singles, and not enough of

2:48:112:48:21
2:48:212:48:33

Ogogo. His opponent is proving difficult to pin down. A good right

2:48:332:48:40

hand to the body from Anthony Ogogo. His opponent is a typical

2:48:402:48:46

counterpuncher. He likes a more leisurely pace. He does not like a

2:48:462:48:50

high tempo, he likes to dictate things on the back foot, and that

2:48:502:48:53

is why Anthony Ogogo has got to throw more punches and increase the

2:48:532:49:03
2:49:032:49:05

were great. -- increase the work rate. His opponent finished in

2:49:052:49:15
2:49:152:49:17

second place in the Americas qualification. That was not bad. He

2:49:172:49:22

should back his man up a bit more. It is as cagey as the first round

2:49:222:49:31

was. A couple of afters. opponent but the hand up at the end

2:49:312:49:41
2:49:412:49:47

of the round, he feels confident. round. His opponent got through

2:49:472:49:53

with that second shot, the right hand, but Anthony Ogogo's guard is

2:49:532:49:59

tight. The lovely straight right hand. That was a well-timed punch,

2:49:592:50:05

through with accuracy and speed. He is boxing at long range. It is a

2:50:052:50:10

bit scrappy from Anthony Ogogo. Not a lot landed. But he is ahead, that

2:50:112:50:20

is the main thing. Confirmation, 5- 1, in the second round. He has a

2:50:202:50:28

five point advantage, 83. -- 8-3. Anthony Ogogo getting the crowd

2:50:282:50:33

behind him, that is the way. crowd have responded to begin the

2:50:332:50:38

final round. The opening bout of the men's middleweight competition,

2:50:382:50:47

75 kgs. Anthony Ogogo of Great Britain. He is leading by five

2:50:472:50:52

points after two completed rounds. There will be a change of tactics

2:50:522:50:59

from his opponent, he will start to come forward, and that might suit a

2:50:592:51:06

-- to be a bit better. He has got to sit back, get the timing right,

2:51:062:51:16
2:51:162:51:22

relaxed now, he is waving his hands around by his waistband. He is out

2:51:222:51:28

of range at the moment, so no harm. Anthony Ogogo has tasted global

2:51:282:51:36

success before, the world cadet champion in 2005. He would love to

2:51:362:51:39

replicate this in the Olympic Games. He does not need to be taking any

2:51:392:51:46

risks. Nothing is getting through with those shots. He needs to wait

2:51:462:51:53

for his opponent to come in. He does not need to do anything silly.

2:51:532:51:57

Do not take any risks, just boxed sensibly and wait for your man to

2:51:572:52:07
2:52:072:52:09

come. The crowd really beginning to rouse Anthony Ogogo now. A

2:52:092:52:19

fantastic left hook. That was a well-timed shot from Anthony Ogogo.

2:52:192:52:29
2:52:292:52:31

Waiting for his opponent to come in. He fell short with the attack.

2:52:312:52:37

more, he turned the corner with it. Right on the point of the chin.

2:52:372:52:47
2:52:472:53:02

Some desperation at from the the Dominican drops his right hand,

2:53:022:53:08

leaving him open with the left it. Better work from Anthony Ogogo.

2:53:082:53:17

is warming to his task now. He has to chase this contest. The openings

2:53:172:53:24

are being exploited ruthlessly by Anthony Ogogo. He clearly has

2:53:242:53:28

secured his passage through to the second round. We await confirmation,

2:53:292:53:33

but he has boxed beautifully in this opening contest against the

2:53:332:53:40

man from the Dominican Republic. The bell has sounded, to bring an

2:53:402:53:47

end to the contest. I suspect the Dominican is raising his arms more

2:53:482:53:53

in hope than expectation. Anthony Ogogo breaks out into a smile. They

2:53:532:53:58

feel he has done enough to earn his first win at the London 2012

2:53:582:54:07

Very promising. The big story in terms of the British team, the

2:54:072:54:11

disappointment in the cycling road race. We can hear from the

2:54:112:54:15

performance director, David Brailsford.

2:54:152:54:22

Take us through the race from your perspective. To be fair, up until

2:54:222:54:30

the top of the final climb, we were looking good. I was happy. I

2:54:302:54:34

thought that the way the race panned out, they stuck to the plan,

2:54:342:54:41

the did everything we talked about, and around in minute over the top,

2:54:412:54:48

we thought, actually, it is game on, but it was not to be. With

2:54:482:54:51

hindsight, really disappointing that it did not come back for a

2:54:512:54:56

sprint. When you have got four or five guys trying to control the

2:54:572:55:00

race for two won in 50 kilometres, when a lot of the teams know you

2:55:002:55:06

have got the best sprinter, it is not easy -- for 250 kilometres. But

2:55:062:55:11

it was impressive. You have been so successful, and everybody knows

2:55:112:55:17

Mark Cavendish is the fastest, so it makes the job all the harder.

2:55:172:55:22

is disappointing, but we have got to dust ourselves down, look at

2:55:222:55:26

whether we could have done anything differently. When the second move

2:55:262:55:32

went on the final climb, maybe we could have gone with that. Our

2:55:322:55:37

chance to win this race was to get it as a sprint for Mark Cavendish.

2:55:372:55:42

I am not sure how else we could have won the race. That was what we

2:55:422:55:47

started. If you want to win big, and that is what we try to do, you

2:55:472:55:52

have got to be prepared to lose similarly bid. You have got to take

2:55:522:55:57

your hat off to the other riders and teams, it was not to be for us,

2:55:572:56:02

but we will try again. I have never seen a crowd like that, as many

2:56:022:56:07

Union Jacks. You feel that you have let people down. But that is the

2:56:072:56:14

first medal of 18. We still have 17 to go. From my point of view, we

2:56:142:56:21

start this evening with the girls' team, the same enthusiasm and

2:56:212:56:27

vigour, and I am sure everybody is ready to go.

2:56:272:56:37
2:56:372:56:39

Our time will come. That is it for China, especially in the swimming

2:56:392:56:43

pool, two gold medals, including their first in the men's events.

2:56:432:56:47
