BBC One: Day 11: 14.15-16.00 Olympics

Hello again from the Olympic Park. It is estimated over 1 million

people have come into the Olympic Park in the past 10 or 11 days to

witness the London Games. An estimated 5 million people in total

have been to all the venues around the United Kingdom so far. An

amazing response from the British public. The estimate is hundreds of

thousands who watched a gold and bronze medal in the men's Triathlon

today at Hyde Park. It has been a day of marvellous highs and pretty

dreadful lows for some at these Games.

Alistair Brownlee in one the 19th gold medal of the games for Great

Britain with this victory in the Triathlon at Hyde Park. Joined on

the podium by his brother Jonny Brownlee who finished a third. More

medal success for Great Britain in Weymouth. Nick Dempsey has taken

silver to make up for the disappointment of finishing 4th in

Beijing. It is his second Olympic medal after a bronze in Athens.

Phillips Idowu has failed to qualify for the triple jump final

after coming up short this morning. He had been struggling with injury

this season and his final jump was the nine centimetres too short. And

disappointment also for China's champions Liu Xiang. He felt after

crashing into the first barrier, the second time he has failed to

clear the first hurdle in consecutive games. But Usain Bolt

looked imperious again as he cruised to victory. He booked his

place in the semi-final tomorrow. And we will reflect on all of the

events to date later in the programme. We go to Greenwich Park

where there are high hopes in the team dressage. The first stop is

the North Greenwich arena. It is the last four individual apparatus

finals. And we're under way in the finals. And we're under way in the

men's parallel bars final. The third highest qualifier is the

next to go. He has been world champion on this piece of apparatus

and is the current Chinese champion. Soft shoulders, ideal for this

apparatus. And a clean handstand. Double pike, high above the rails.

And no hesitation at all. Here is the big release. This is

great stuff. Another double pike. And that is

his superb performance. That is what you call a parallel bars

routine. It was incredible, ever think you could wish for. Will his

physique is made for the apparatus. It opens all sorts of possibilities

up for different types of work. Super-strong. He has to generate

the swing. But loughs that arm out as soon as possible. Beautiful

technique. A lot of people go to the upper arms, he goes to grip.

The double pike was just a dream. That was sober stuff.

qualification the highest score was 15.86. It is that 15.966. Feng Zhe

in the lead. Anti also has some different work.

Watch carefully for the does my. -- the dismount.

He is very exciting to watch. Incredible strength on the Rings as

well. He is an all round silver medallist.

A really sharp start. Those somersaults are so difficult to

perfect, but he has got them nailed. Great opening half of this routine.

Into that double. Lovely straight body.

Just to that tiny adjustment. Of such an exciting routine. But a few

tiny performance errors. For me he was absolutely on fire. I thought

at the start that he was swinging so well he was almost going to

accelerate off the bars! Affair a bit of talk about stars

siblings today and we have two brothers from Japan going in this

one. Can they get themselves on the podium as well?

Nice and clean. Almost missed with his left hand there. Double pike.

Goes into a pirouette. Secure in that handstand. Very nice

work indeed. It is a good one! What a good routine. It is a good one.

He is looking at something like 15.8. He did not give much away.

did not and another great does not. They're using the balance of these

bars so well to lift themselves into the air. He completely Tesco.

That was where he just had a little readjustment of the hand. That was

a nice neat double back. But the parallel bars came and surprise to

him a bit. Some of the gymnasts were a tiny bit higher.

There will be a little battle there between him and his brother!

It is going to be tough. There is nothing like sibling rivalry!

He is outside the medals at the moment.

15.567 is the score to get up into 15.567 is the score to get up into

15.567 is the score to get up into the medal position at the moment.

It is all about the Tanaka brothers It is all about the Tanaka brothers

for Japan. There again that softback. You have got to keep the

spring clean. Now he is back in control. The mid-

section of his body is crucial. Steady in the Haan stand. Big

double pike. I do not think that will be enough to get up into the

medal position. The top two routines were faultless, really.

Anyone who wants to get in it up amongst those, you have to really

be pushing the boat out to be challenging for those top two

medals. That just had too many errors. But technically the start

was very impressive. He has got his shoulders above the bar of. Lovely

technique in the under its wing. Every gymnast will tell you that if

you can do that, you understand the timing. This is a pretty heavy

deduction. That will cost him a fiver! I think that was just

conference. When you see the slow- motion, he was in perfect position

to land but he just lost confidence along the way. He was watching the

replay and I think he agreed. gymnast to go. One left to go.

a story would that be, France have never had an adult on the Olympic

carrying a bit of a knee injury. Perhaps did not perform to his best

Russian parallel bars champion. not be surprised if he squeezes in

amongst those medal places. Because he has got a lovely body line.

Excellent combination to start. Lovely clean technique. Keeping

body tension. This is very good. to be in amongst the medal

positions were that. I think the important issue will be the start

value. How difficult the routine lift and you get a good beat into

the somersault. Watch it. Very quick hands, thatst a very

difficult skill and people don't give it the credit it deserves.

It's a var impressive way to get yourself above the bars, that was

smooth front somersault. Just the tiny hop here, now that will be a

0.3 deduction, the two-footed hop back. Every 0.1 going to matter.

Younger brother Jonny has already accepted the bronze. Gold medallist

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE What a moment. The medal ceremony was delayed a

while because of a medical problem for younger brother Jonny who left

it all out in the park. Received some med kale ten shurpbgs he is OK

now, but the two brothers on top of the Olympic podium. -- received

Ladies and gentlemen, the Olympic medallists. Alistair Brownlee has

collected Team GB's 19th gold of the London 2012 games. The silver

to Gomez. Two brothers on the Olympic podium with Jonathan taking

the bronze, after a dramatic Olympic triathlon race. Gold and

bronze for the Brownlee family of West Yorkshire and for Great

Britain. Now we are zipping straight to Greenwich because we

were in the final stages of the team dressage event, Great Britain

has nerve won a medal in Olympic dressage, they lead the standings

going into the all-important last three rounds here. Carl Hester is

scores will count in the team event, there is no room for error in this

one. Will bit gold? Followed by This is his fourth Olympics. 12th

this man has led Britain to the European Championships, last year,

a tremendous team performance with Laura Bechtolsheimer and Charlotte

the gauntlet and really challenge Germany? This is the moment Carl

Hester, for Great Britain, with horse will have every advantage.

them. Careful here. Watch this spooky corner. It is where the

horse made a mistake in the Grand Prix. No, fine. Lovely piece of

riding. One of the finest horse men in the world, this man. Really

forward in that trot. Look at my base himself here in Great Britain

who sent him to Barcelona on the first of his four Olympic Games. It

looks as if he might creep over the 80%, and the team are happy. The

team are happy. Remember, just one year ago, helped Britain to their

first ever team gold, her Royal Highness the Princess royal with

her husband there, watching and Peter Philips. Has he gone to the

80%? Yes, he has gone to the 80%. They won team gold in the European.

It is first time Britain had done that. They won two individual

silvers. Is it going to be gold. Look that the extension! That is

fantastic. Look at that power in that horse. Flying down that arena.

And the one time changes here. This is what it is all about. Power,

speed, elegance. Control. Yes. And that is a young laid di, and that

is Charlotte Dujardin, and she, in less than two hours, will be the

third rider for Britain. The crowd are on their feet. Dare I put it

this way, but is it first blood to Britain? It is looking good, but, I

know who is the expert on the piaf and the passage and it is clear

and the passage and it is clear balding. She is there now. Clear,

after wonderful scenes there yesterday, 50 something is the new

cool of the age Olympic Games after seeing those boys go yesterday. Can

you explain in dress sadge terms, what the judges are looking for

from these performances today? and I will tell you that Carl is 45

and the two girls on the team Laura Bechtolsheimer Charlotte Dujardin

both in their 20s so similar to Nick Skelton going out first in the

showjumping team. He has set a marker there. And remember, he is

coming in on a horse that ways over 100 stone. It is picking up its

feet as if they are light as a feather. The judges are looking for

rhythm. Precision in the movements. They are looking for elegance and

that X Factor, they are looking for a horse and rider that come in and

say qvingspt "Look at me, this is a performance this is something I can

show off to you. The fluency of the movement. That was a really good

test. That will make that whole British team feel calm. Remember,

Germany have been unbeaten in the Olympics over the last seven

Olympic Games. They have set a standard that is so high no-one

thought they would get beat, but over the last few years the

training led by Carl Hester because he owns two of the horses competing.

He owns half of Charlotte Dujardin's horse. He has made sure

British dressage is the envy of the world. The next rider is in the

arena, we have two more to come. We are in a very very good position.

Thanks to that start from Carl Hester. Thank you clear. I will

Laura backdoor Scharner is going at about 20 past three. But it is

looking good because Germany and the Netherlands are chasing Great

Britain for the gold. But we moved once again to the north Greenwich

arena. Matt Baker is looking forward to the women's been final.

What nerve and skill and balance it takes to win a gold medal on this

takes to win a gold medal on this piece of apparatus. Just 10

centimetres wide. The dimensions of the balance beam

demand accuracy as well as artistry. It has a sprung servers to aid

acrobatic skills. But it is the narrowest of all Olympic platforms

so attention to detail is a must. Gymnasts have 90 seconds to perform

a variety of moves connecting one skill to the next. They use the

whole length of the beam to displayed steps. Jumps. Acrobatic

elements. And turns. Poor technique and fighting a losing battle

against balance will need to a deduction in points. Every routine

requires dance elements including a jump with legs in a 180 degrees bit.

There must be acrobatic moves, one of them has to be as somersault.

And a perfectly performed dismount. Any unplanned fall to the floor it

leaves the gymnast with 10 seconds to dismount.

It you would like to get involved in the Olympic sports, go to the

in the Olympic sports, go to the Web site.

Well we have already seen the parallel bars. And there is a lot

to come this afternoon. This is the event that has seen one of the

Champions' like Nadia Comaneci. And Gabby Douglas of the United States

already has the two gold medals and she is in this one as well. Can she

she is in this one as well. Can she she is in this one as well. Can she

make it a third? It is a good question. Before we

talk about gymnastics, we were just watching the dressage and you are a

massive fan's? I was almost a national champion

but I left to go to the United States. You said about the dressage,

it is very much a piece of cake! We're just expecting the gymnasts

to come in for the big final. We spoke about Gabby Douglas. But

others are in contention. There is a lot of tough competition. The

Romanian who was the Athens's Olympic champion.

Then Russia, the United States and China.

This been is just the width of a house brick. How do you make it

look so easy? For a gymnast if you have to think about how wide it is

then you will fall off it. You start on the floor and then on the

smaller beam and then you go until you get to this level.

The apparatus has changed quite a bit since you're Olympic debut back

in 1972. But then it was just a solid piece of wood.

When I do a turn, you can hear that. Before, I had a lot of bruises!

You were the first gymnast to do this somersault on the beam. This

was the first time in an Olympic Games. Was it always your aim to do

that bodied you think it was a crazy moved to try to do a

somersault? Everyone said it was dangers. Now

everybody is doing it. Before 1970 to be said, nobody will do that. I

said, we will see. And this has happened.

Gymnastics has come on a lot since when he last competed. And the

somersault collection is now a required skill. You will see many

impressive somersaults today. the same with a confidence thing,

if you do not think about how narrow it is? You just have to

think about the pointers for each skill that you coach may remind you

about. You do not think about what might go wrong but what you have to

do to get it right. And how do you weigh up the difficulty with the

execution? How much do you go all out and how much to think, I will

stay within my reach and do it as perfectly as possible? You can do

the most difficult routine but it is less likely then that you can

perform it as well. I have tried many different skills but you want

to get them right when you compete. You need to be confident that he

can do them well. And if not then do easier skills and perform them

better. We have spoken about that confidence. We have the former

Olympic champion coming up next. She is now 24 years old. Experience

is a big plus. The first time you are competing, it is more difficult.

Coming out there in that big coat, keeping her body as warm as

possible. Gabby Douglas has had a wonderful competition so far. Can

wonderful competition so far. Can Olympics. The Flying Squirrel!

Let's hope there are no tears from Komova in this final. This is set

interesting line-up. The top nations.

The gymnasts just making the beans how they like it. It has become

something that they like to do. It is a ritual.

Sui Lu, the first we see. What can we expect? She is the current world

champion. We know that she can deliver. Pike front somersault

immediately back into the flip. Super high front somersault with

half turn. She is the only one to perform it at this level.

Straight into the back flip. That is the first little hesitation.

Control on the spin. She is moving like that. She is going for

everything. That gives her a little bonus point. This has been a superb

routine. We need a sopor dismount as well. - first Super. That was a

great start and she is going to be very difficult to beat. Very

accurate. Just a couple of little adjustments.

She really attacks this. Very impressive. The head goes right

back. She gets her foot to the height of her head so the judges

will give credit for that. It is an E element.

She really set that double pike. Remarkable composure to perform

those moves one after the other. To link the Mall and to get through

the routine. It must be a feeling of relief. These gymnasts do a huge

number of proteins. It is the piece of apparatus that it is very

difficult to produce a good routine under pressure. You talk about the

penalty shoot-out and this is the ultimate test. Just posted a 15.5.

That will be very difficult to beat. Catalina Ponor knows what it is

like to win gold on this apparatus. It is very important for her to get

hurt rhythm. She works so fast. Just a little pause for the double

spin and that was just a little fairer. -- error.

Straight into the flip. She is on her way now.

As long as she works with this with him, she is OK. Another is of a

combination of three skills altogether. Artistic arms, she is

elegant. That was a fight. She has covered it well but the errors are

there. Two jumps that have to be included.

This was the gymnast that everyone expected to win beam. She has gone

for broke. That was one of more difficult skill than she competed

in qualifying. But I do not think she got the balance right. I would

say no, but we have got to keep the tension here! Budgeted some lovely

work. -- but she did. This could still get a medal position. But it

will not beat the first gymnast because they were too many areas

where she gave away deductions. You were talking about the double

spin earlier on in the routine as could see there was a wobble with

it. She only did 2.5 and you get credited in full ones. If it was a

triple it would have been worth more. They are very demanding, the

judges. If you're going to go for this work, you have to go for it

exactly. She had to do it if she was going to make an effort. But

there we are. She is down on her team final score. I very much doubt

whether that will be enough for a medal. You cannot tell because

others still have to come out and perform. Tiny Deng Linlin is up

next. She is 20 years old. She has been world champion. She did a

super qualifying been but has not the end of the beam at. Then a

linked. Gymnasts have to show elements forwards, backwards, side

Woods if they can. She is being precise with everything. Not quite

the same artistry with the arms and the body. There is a spin which has

That is a strong challenge. I could not see any errors. There was

nothing negative so surely that was a huge challenge. There was a

little step on dismount. Christine is the walking Code of points and

she did not make one negative comment. Here is a negative

comment! No, I was going to say the only thing the judges may pick up

on his there have points for rhythm, of the surety of performance and,

this is lovely, she did just pause quite a bit. The mere fact that the

whistle blew meant she was a bit slow on her routine than perhaps

the coach would want. It was a bit stilted. She might lose 0.1 or 0.2

is where that chance went begging. She did everything she could, bless

her, to try and hang on. If she could have held the feet steady and

controlled it without moving the feet, she would have had a better

chance. Once you move your feet, but this was super. It was a pity.

It would have made a great competition of it all. Such high

hopes for the Romanians coming into this Olympics. Look at the

The elegance, Chris. interestingly, her qualifications

call was 15.66 so she needs to have elements. There was a tiny wobble.

I thought it was a lovely dismount. She might have taken a step back

but we have seen some with the chest down on landing so that will

in control. The stamp of elegance, lovely work. Victoria Komova is

lovely dismount. It was not to be on the been but she has had a great

championships. Indeed, I think it is fair to say she came here for

that all-round gold. She is an all- round gymnast. She is not a

particular specialist on one apparatus. The day she needed to be

on song, she was. That was interesting, a quick shot of

Catalina Ponor, literally clinging on to that bronze medal at the

moment. We did say it might be enough for the minor medals. She

did not get the foot behind. The back for it is meant to go behind

the front one and she had it at the side so it slipped down. Many a

gymnast will know that feeling. You are quite blind when you land like

that. It is knowing it is coming, here comes the pain. That is right.

But she is so athletic, really She will not have the third highest

score. This beam final has been surprising. There have been a

couple of spills. It all there's very quiet. Only one piece of

apparatus is being worked at a time. It is a test of nerves. The seating

goes right the way it up to the roof. If you are balancing on

something that width of a house brick, it amazes me you can walk

along it. They bury match have to get into their Saone and block

Komova up after her performance. It is such a disappointment with her

standards and targets she was aiming for. This one could make it

all fine. That was not a very promising start. She is such a

perfect physique for gymnastics. Long legs, very supple. Beautiful

feet. She looks like a prima ballerina and she has superpower as

well. She really has been disappointed. Half turn into rate

front somersault. She is so powerful. Those legs of belie

tremendous strength. She has had silver medals. She has made it very

clear that is not what she wanted to go home with. She threw in the

towel, didn't she? Always a bit of effortless, doesn't it? That is the

marker of a really talented performer. This is very difficult.

She sits that out as well. Two vaults. Not the way she would have

wanted to walk away from the Olympic Games. What about the way

she just seemed to give up? What will they say about that?

Russian coaches these days seem very tolerant. I have watched her

in training be quite difficult. That was the first little sign.

They will have wanted to have come home with medals - the Russian team.

She has not chosen not to do well. If it is going good, she will be on

fire. Absolutely! Her mother was a gymnast. She was in the Soviet team

in 1985. From the cradle, she has been destined to be the great

gymnast. In the American team, you have to fight your way through

three or place. She is a typical gymnast. -- threw for your place.

So much promise. She will come again. I do hope so. She is a

special performer. Suspense for Catalina Ponor. There is one

gymnast left. You talk about fight and the next gymnast definitely has

that. We will have to wait and see. Viktoria Komova has no chance of

getting up into the medals. reminds me of Lukin. She had to

fight and she became the best in the world. That is the bit what the

Russian team has to find. She tried again to get into the listing. She

had to fight for a place and, at this time, she was not good enough.

Selection was proven correct. They have come here and stormed the team

title. They had won the individual all-around. One gymnast who picked

her to replace on the team is next. She knocked out Jordyn Wieber for a

place in the top 24. She knocked at her team-mate, the current world

champion. There is Alexandra Raisman, ready and hungry. What

will the next few minutes have in store for of Alexandra Raisman and

Catalina Ponor? She has at least managed to not cry today. That is a

step in the right direction. Deng Linlin leads with a score of 15.6.

Sui Lu has 15.5. The last gymnast in the women's been Olympic final,

Alexandra Raisman. This potentially for a medal. Of course a different

style altogether. Punchy. She has not got long leggy supper nurse but

she has plenty of power. -- suppleness. Fulfilling all the

requirements. A good with them. Keeps the whole thing moving. --

got a bonus because it did not join but she will get the value of for

the elements. She is warming to the performance. A free cartwheel. She

got the join nicely. A leap into the tuck back. And this spin. Not

quite such a perfect straight pointed Tobe but no wobble. This is

a very important dismount. Double Arabian. She is there will start

that is a strong challenge. A very strong challenge. -- she is a bear.

-- she is there. If they could bottle their grit, they would get a

fortune. This combination - she had her hands down on the beam in the

ball around and it cost a medal. She was not chancing it this time.

She was quite low on the free cartwheel. This is super stuff,

isn't it? Double Arabian. Beautifully done! What a tense wait

for her and a tense wait for Catalina Ponor. Deng Linlin leads.

Sui Lu, what could have been for her? She performed very well. I am

surprised to see tears. She is hoping. She is hoping. All eyes are

up there. Goodness me! This is a tense few moments. The gymnasts can

do nothing more. It is all in the hands of the judges. Just a

reminder, the school she needs is over 15.066. Will she go ahead? No.

It is 14.966. Alexandra Raisman finishes the competition force.

Just as in the ball around. -- all around. Tears of sorrow for Sui Lu.

It is great to see great champions of the past getting a bronze medal.

Felix Sanchez is certainly in the mix. We saw his tears of joy last

night. It is definitely eight games -- a Games for the old people. We

are back to Greenwich. We saw Carl Hester set the standard in the team

dressage. That has got the Germans and the Dutch thinking. Laura

Bechtolscheimer is next to go. She was born in Germany and raised in

Gloucestershire. Her first pony was called Peacock when she was three

years old. She is in position to strike gold if her score and that

of Charlotte Dujardin will count. Hojris, her second Olympics. Her

first was in Beijing. Her horse did not like the big screens on that

occasion. She has done so much since. A team gold and individual

bronze at Windsor. And then, in Kentucky, team gold and individual

silver in the World Equestrian Games. Then the big one when a won

team gold for the first time ever in the Europeans and then beat

individual bronze for this combination. So, she was national

champion at 20 years old. Now the test of her life. She is trained by

her father. She is advised by the twice Olympic gold-medallist. This

is very definitely trying to put Britain in a position for gold in

the 2012 Olympics. That would be the first time ever. Steely

determination in her eyes as she sets off. She is a bit disappointed

with high marks. I am sure she will try to make up for that and show

everyone what this horse is made of. Good, powerful extended trot.

little with utopia. She needs a bit more energy and activity. She can

be more down on her hands if she is not careful. She has got him back

up again. This is one of his highlights. Good boy! It is amazing

how this horse has developed his confidence and partnership with the

rider over the years. He used to be a real monkey and sued of all over

two for Britain! That is her father, Wilfred. The Princess Royal I'm

sure we'll be delighted with that. We are here to see -- they were

here to see his are we in the team silver medal, now well they see

Britain win the first dressage medal and will it be gold? Look at

that. A fabulous extended trot which showed all that grit and

determination. Look at him, he is changes. We did not see the mistake,

but, I did not want to see the mistake again. STUDIO: It all looks

German's right now. Clare, how healthy is the advantage with only

Well, it is healthy enough because we have just one horse and rider

remaining. That riding Charlotte Dujardin who only started riding

Grand Prix last year. Horse she discovered last year, called

Valegro, is one of the best in the world. He set a grand prix stalk

last year of 88 %. If she can do anything like that then the gold is

in the bag. The lead is certainly enough. 3:55pm is when Charlotte

will be performing on Valegro. We have had good news from the sailing

regatta today. Another silver medal from a snake Dempsey, the

windsurfer. There was also a chance in the men's 470. -- Nick Dempsey.

This was from a Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell. Let's see how they

conclusion of this contest for now. Australia have done enough. You can

just see them through the binoculars there. It is another

terriers against the experience of the Australian double-act who have

dominated this class for the last three years. They are the world

champions, no one has touched them. Australia will go into the medal

race guaranteed a silver and leading the fleet. Australia will

be the gold medal favourites. Great Britain, the only way is up because

the British team had secured silver. There will be celebrations in the

British camp. Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell have sailed an

immaculate series, better than any other British sailor. They have had

an incredible series so far, cannot say enough how consistent, how well

they have performed to be matching the Australian's head to head all

the way through this, with the experience they have and the number

of world titles. For these guys to come out in this big event, taking

second place in the last of the fleet races, it will be an

intriguing final medal race for Well played because that means a

guaranteed sold at least when they go in the medal rise on Thursday.

There will be a straight fight for gold with the Australian duo there.

I also have some news, I'm afraid it is pretty disappointing from the

Oldie's perspective. I was talking about Catalina Ponor and how

everyone was delighted with the bronze medal on the beam. That has

been a protest by the American gymnast and it has been upheld from

Catalina Ponor's perspective. Alexandra Raisman has been upgraded.

Catalina Ponor in her thirties goes home without anything. One of the

great. Super Tuesday, it is one of these things we talk about every

few years in American elections, the primaries before the

presidential election, but I think we could hijack it this afternoon,

possibility of three gold medals in the velodrome would be very CBE

Tuesday, wouldn't it? He would, following on from Super Saturday.

We are set for a golden afternoon in the velodrome for tea and GB,

Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and Laura Trott are planning to have a

record-breaking medal haul. There are other options. We have been

hearing about the gymnastics. That continues now and coming up in a

moment it is the men's horizontal bar finals. That will follow this

medal ceremony and it is the women's floor final after that over

on BBC Three. On the dressage, you just saw the wonderful performance

from Laura Bechtolsheimer. Charlotte Dujardin is due to go at

3:55pm. Gold medal -- Great Britain is in the gold medal position at

the moment. That is live on the red button. On Saturday evening we

witnessed one of the most memorable evenings in British sport. Now we

are poor used for another couple of hours. Is the velodrome is in the

gold medal position for being the loudest a venue. They will lift the
