remarkable day of the Games. certainly was. I shall take over | :00:02. | :00:09. | |
now. The cycling is an incredible eight goals, from Bradley Wiggins | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
on the road, to Sir Chris Hoy on the track. And there may be more as | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
we move to the BMS track -- BMX track, which is one of the sports | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
we are following today. It is fast, frantic and fun to watch. Britain's | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Shanaze Reade will hope to put some disappointing results behind her | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
and recapture the form that saw her win the World Championship last | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
year. Also hockey, the Netherlands beat Great Britain to come top of | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
their group, and they take on the top seed and defending champions | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
New Zealand for a place in the final. We will be at Earls Court | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
for the volleyball court of final between the USA and the reigning | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
Cup champions, Italy. China has dominated table tennis here, | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
winning all three goals so far and are strong favourites in the men's | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
team event. They will take on South Korea -- all three gold medals. So | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
this is what we are looking forward to, straight away we head to the | :01:14. | :01:24. | |
:01:24. | :01:58. | ||
The first period between New Zealand and the Netherlands, and we | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
will be live for that later on. But here on BBC One it is BMX, which | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
proved to be such a hit on its Olympic debut four years ago. The | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
event starts at the time trials. 32 men and 16 women competing to | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
decide the order for the elimination stage. BMX. Each race | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
features eight riders competing on a tracks with jumps, bumps and | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
corners. The race starts on and 80 metre high ramp and usually lasts | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
about 40 seconds. -- and eight metre-high it rammed. The bikes are | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
a crypt with one India and one break. As a contact sport, | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
collisions are not uncommon -- the bikes are equipped with one that | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
India and one break. The lead rider may iTunes the line around the | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
track but on the final straight is not allowed to block the light of | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
any rider trying to pass -- may choose the line. The race is run | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
when there front-wheel crosses the 48 riders are competing for just | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
two gold medals. One for the men, one for the women. The competition | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
begins with a time trial qualification runway each rider | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
races just against the clock to determine their seeding in the main | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
competition. A complex series of races known as mojos follows. The | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
top four in the semi-final will enter the final to race for the | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
medals. If you would like to get involved in Olympic sports, go to | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
Today is the time trial with the riders going in reverse order of | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
world ranking. Shanaze Reade was third to go and desperate to erase | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
memories of Beijing were her all- or-nothing tactics cost her a | :04:00. | :04:10. | |
:04:10. | :04:17. | ||
murder -- Costa a medal and she Shanaze Reade. You have seen | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Shanaze Reade's career up close in the last few years. How much has | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
she got riding on this? She has come out of the start with | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
confidence and taken the first jump beautifully. Nice and clean and | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
smooth. Into the first term. Letting the back wheel drop nicely. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Floating across the double. I have no doubt she will make the time in | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
this run. She will be at the top of the charts so far. Let's see how | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
she can keep hold. And nice smooth the lap, keeping it relatively safe. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
She used the cascade in the middle of the section nicely to create | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
some speed. Ringgit in nice and smooth. That is a good lap. First | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
rider to go below 40, very nice work from Shanaze Reade. She got | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
hold of that and got a really good start and powered down the first | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
straight. The crowd has been fantastic here, just like in the | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Velodrome and I'm sure she would have used the energy to power her | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
around the track. Nice and smooth over the first jump. Great camera | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
:05:39. | :05:44. | ||
shot. Just helping to keep the coming off a broken collarbone. | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
That was just eight weeks ago at the World Championships. Starting | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
nice and smooth. Interestingly she has missed a lot of the season | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
through in -- injury, so she's starting quite early. It is hard on | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
the confidence with it BMX. You want to be racing or training at | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
least once or twice a week. It is amazing how quickly you lose touch. | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
But she is looking smooth and confident. A nice line through the | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
last term. I think this is going to be one of the key times that | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
Shanaze Reade will be working against. That is a good time, | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
nearly a whole second ahead. Pretty good. She is a good time trial and | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
we knew she would be seeded high in the final qualification. We will | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
see how long she can hold that. Regardless, Shanaze Reade will | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
:06:49. | :06:57. | ||
here on Monday after Martin went out with a lacerated liver. She is | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
looking really good. A solid first straight. Getting some pedals in | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
over the doubles. Through the second term, getting some power | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
down. Can she accelerated? There is the little cascade there. She has | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
to try and take advantage of it. Didn't accelerate the same way we | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
saw Walker and Shanaze Reade do. She is going to be devastated. That | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
is a bad one. That is about as bad as you can get. Full speed, landing | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
into the face of a jump. That is where ribs and collarbones go. | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
is hurt. She is grasping her right arm. She is winded. She will be | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
disappointed with that. She was looking pretty good up to that | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
point. She had two more jumps to go. Whether she lost focus, or | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
something. But this is BMX, ladies and gentlemen. It is just a | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
straight wingding. She will be carried off. -- a straight wending. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Hopefully she will get on a bike again in the competition. He would | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
be a shame if she uses -- is out. Devastating for the Americans | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
because they lost aerial Martin on Monday. She actually crashed in | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
training the other day, so I think she has just had trouble hanging on | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
to the handlebars with the fatigue. Absolutely devastating. Now, | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Caroline Buchanan from Australia, one of the favourites coming into | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
the competition. She is so powerful. One of the best all-round riders. | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
:08:59. | :08:59. | ||
Athletic ability, confidence. She also has the strength. Great start. | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
Looking super-fast and super-smooth. Sat right in the back seat over the | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
double. Hopefully she has taken some confidence from Anna Meares on | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
the track last night he got a medal from Victoria Pendleton. Into the | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
second term. She even landed a bit long after the step up. There will | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
be a lot of nerves in these first time trials. The first lap in front | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
of the crowd, and every seat is filled. Very, very smooth in the | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
rhythm section. And she takes first place. That is so telling. It | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
didn't look that fast, but she is two-tenths of a second ahead of | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Sarah Walker but she didn't look like she had the pedal down. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
but she kept its mood. A good lap, and she is one of the favourites. - | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
:10:00. | :10:25. | ||
- kept its smooth. She is the 2012 of the traps. Turning the vertical | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
into forward speed. Now on the second straight. Clear on the jumps. | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
Nice and fast, can she get on a power for the rhythm section? | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
this is the telling section. If you get this wrong you will lose huge | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
amounts of speed. And nice and safe flat so far. Nothing flashy. Just | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
getting the first one out of the way nice and clean. Whether she | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
finished? Quite a long way down. There was something on the start of | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
the straight, clipping the first step up, but that is a long way | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
down. A big disadvantage when it comes to date selection in the | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
semi-finals. The seeding works to give them a gate position. But | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
there are five races and it is quite a complex format. There are | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
five races for the men in the quarter-finals. It would take us | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
until tomorrow to explain the process. But this ceding only works | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
for the first race, but after that it is the positioning from the | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
previous race. The pressure is on to perform in every lap you undergo. | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
If you do make a mistake, it is not the end of the world and you are | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
still in the event, but they are rewarding consistency. So, Caroline | :11:52. | :12:01. | |
Buchanan in the first. Sarah Walker will be happy with her run. Shanaze | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
:12:11. | :12:17. | ||
She will not post a time, but fantastic runs for the Australians | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
They will be back for the semi- finals on Friday and the men's run | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
it will be back a little later. But when there are eight riders going | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
down the track it is something to watch. We will take you back to | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
Greenwich Park. A short time ago we saw the gold medal decided and it | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
ended in disappointment for the two British riders, Scott Brash and | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Nick Skelton who finished out of the melt Mable -- out of the medals. | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
But there was a race for the decision on the silver. Schroder | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
was the first to go, so let's go back to Greenwich Park and see who | :13:00. | :13:10. | |
:13:10. | :13:12. | ||
won silver. The commentators are clock for the silver and bronze | :13:12. | :13:22. | |
:13:22. | :13:28. | ||
first round. Spinning back, right handed. Tactically, he has to | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
decide what to do, and he's having a go. He can jump a fast Clear, | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
:13:43. | :13:56. | ||
putting all the pressure on This is the big water tray. Two to | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
jump, back to the London bus. Taking it on the ankle, he is | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
jumping a really good round here, galloping to the last fence. A | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
:14:19. | :14:23. | ||
will it be bronze? This was practically the perfect round, he | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
didn't take crazy chances. But it is such a fast time. Only one thing | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
for a, to do, and that is go for it, he is going to have to take a | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
chance -- for O'Connor to do. It is a big ask. This is a small horse | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
was not such a day Kanter. Well that ride has set the standard. | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
This man rides very well against the clock, he is hugely competitive. | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
And he has, with this horse, performed a miracle. Here only to | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
get on in December this year, having sold his top horse to Saudi | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
Arabia. He hears, jumping off a four silver or bronze. -- here he | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
:15:21. | :15:49. | ||
have to turn up tight. Taking a He is up on the clock. He is quite | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
a long way up. He has galloped over that. This looks like a silver | :15:57. | :16:07. | |
:16:07. | :16:12. | ||
way up on the clock, he could afford to take it, but it is bronze | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
for Ireland. It is silver for the Dutchman, Schroder. And of course, | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
:16:30. | :16:31. | ||
He missed out on the silver, but a well earned a bronze, Ireland's | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
first medal of these games. There was disappointment earlier for Nick | :16:37. | :16:46. | |
Skelton and Scott Brash. The let's One fence down, he finished 5th, | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
what is your reaction? Are gutted, absolutely gutted. I don't know, | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
horses can get tired, I can make a lot of excuses, maybe I was a | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
fraction too close, but that is how I would ride it, it is short in the | :17:07. | :17:17. | |
:17:17. | :17:18. | ||
middle. That is my first reaction, but it is a cruel sport. I feel I | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
should be jumping off for a gold medal. In a sense, does it make the | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
achievement of a team gold even better? You know how tough it is to | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
win any medal here. Yes, it is fantastic. I am still gutted, but | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
at times like this, you have got to not be greedy, people are dying in | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
the world, and all sorts. I'm just grateful to be here, my horse is | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
jumping excellent. There are loads more competitions to come, I am | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
going to Canada soon. He would do good things, this horse. I have to | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
look on the bright side, but I am gutted at the moment. Plenty more | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
Olympics for you. A I hope so. They did when team gold, and there | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
could be more medals for Britain tomorrow in the dressage. Now we | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
turn our attention for hockey. For the first time since 1988, both | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
Britain teams are through to the semi-finals. Britain's women play | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
tonight at 8pm, that will be live on BBC Three, they will face | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
:18:38. | :18:42. | ||
This afternoon sees the reigning champions and an -- love the lens | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
take on New Zealand. It is the Netherlands versus New Zealand for | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
a place in the final. We will be joining me live in a moment, let | :18:52. | :19:02. | |
:19:02. | :19:13. | ||
catch up on the best of the action is a start that may well set up a | :19:13. | :19:23. | |
:19:23. | :19:49. | ||
cup semi-final. -- a good semi- under control. What a good attack, | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
:19:59. | :20:21. | ||
two of then! Nicely goal. -- nicely the early stages of the second | :20:21. | :20:31. | |
:20:31. | :20:35. | ||
period, leads rejoin our half to Holland. New Zealand didn't | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
take the chance to get rid of the ball. The Dutch appealed, and the | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
:20:52. | :21:30. | ||
umpire was fully in agreement. Big She is battling to get her team | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
:21:40. | :21:56. | ||
back into it, and that was a big medal in women's hockey in the | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Olympic Games. The men one back in 1976. For the women, this is the | :22:01. | :22:10. | |
:22:11. | :22:34. | ||
New Zealand coach has got it right. Absolutely. You always talk about | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
the underdog, and New Zealand, when you look at the credentials on | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
paper and the medals that the Dutch teams have one -- have won, in | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
comparison to the New Zealanders, you would have thought this would | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
be a one-sided affair, but they have been the dark horses of this | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
tournament and they deserve to be in the semi-finals. The only game | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
they were disappointing in was against Argentina, it was almost | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
back to nerves and the occasion. But here, they have come out and | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
they have played really well for the whole of the first half. They | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
:23:18. | :23:29. | ||
are causing problems at the start in 2004, -- silver in 2004, that is | :23:29. | :23:39. | |
:23:39. | :23:39. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 169 seconds | :23:39. | :26:28. | |
push into the circle, more Zealand player is down. I think | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
that has cut her head. Unfortunately, you can see it | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
because she has got blonde hair, just a slight... I think it is on | :26:41. | :26:51. | |
:26:51. | :27:12. | ||
the side of the head, very brave is verging on stupid. -- defending. | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
That is what happened to Kate Walsh the other evening. That was a heck | :27:18. | :27:28. | |
:27:28. | :28:06. | ||
of a swing, the stick was very high. only a short time. We have another | :28:06. | :28:16. | |
:28:16. | :28:17. | ||
own little moment for the men and their cleaning material. And that | :28:17. | :28:22. | |
side, that corner, has seen most of the action. Every time you see them, | :28:22. | :28:32. | |
:28:32. | :28:43. | ||
very quiet. They are just realising what can happen in this game. The | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
ball does travel around at a fair old lick, and to be hit with a | :28:47. | :28:55. | |
stick with that amount of force... The goalkeeper also made a very | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
good save, incidentally. Well- positioned. Clear out the ball and | :29:01. | :29:10. | |
that was the follow-up. The cleaners have been and done it. We | :29:10. | :29:20. | |
:29:20. | :29:36. | ||
can continue. 24 minutes remaining it might be something that sparks | :29:36. | :29:43. | |
the New Zealanders into life again. They have scored one goal and had | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
another penalty corner, but I don't think Joyce Sombroek has had much | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
to do it in the Dutch goal for all the possession at New Zealand have | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
had. They are just not getting the outcomes once they get into the | :29:55. | :30:05. | |
:30:05. | :30:05. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 169 seconds | :30:05. | :31:21. | |
Dutch circle. That will be whisked a long corner. Sharland was waiting. | :31:21. | :31:31. | |
:31:31. | :32:00. | ||
say out of the black, the goalkeeper advanced and Forgesson | :32:00. | :32:06. | |
beat her on the near post. fantastic counter-attack by New | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
Zealand. Started initially by Anita Punt on the left-hand side, playing | :32:10. | :32:16. | |
the ball back to Michelsen. Somehow New Zealand ended up with the | :32:16. | :32:19. | |
player unmarked in the circle, and Joyce Sombroek has her angles | :32:19. | :32:24. | |
horribly wrong. Maybe she thought there would be a deflection, but | :32:24. | :32:30. | |
that is why the defence is there. New Zealand lead for the second | :32:30. | :32:40. | |
:32:40. | :32:40. | ||

circle. I wonder if that was before or after abandoned where all -- van | :36:52. | :36:57. | |
den Heuvel touched it. In my opinion that should be a hit out to | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
New Zealand for dangerous play. It has hit the foot, but it is | :37:03. | :37:10. | |
dangerous play. The that is a very fair point. Of course, she does not | :37:10. | :37:17. | |
get the chance to have a look at it. She is going to take the advance -- | :37:17. | :37:27. | |

decision. If I was the New Zealand captain right now I would be | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
somewhere in the vicinity of the umpire making the point about the | :37:41. | :37:51. | |
:37:51. | :38:11. | ||
danger. And Sharland is exactly in that they cannot refer a referral. | :38:11. | :38:18. | |
But you would think that the video umpire, who is Keighley had some of | :38:18. | :38:27. | |
New Zealand -- Kelly had some. She might have mentioned it. | :38:27. | :38:31. | |
problem is the video umpire can only answer the question that she | :38:31. | :38:39. | |
has been asked, which was did it hit feet in the circle? So the | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
Argentinian umpire did not feel it was dangerous, referred it for the | :38:43. | :38:53. | |
:38:53. | :39:27. | ||
you have to give her some credit as she has taken some routine stick | :39:27. | :39:33. | |
for her penalty-corner. But come the preparation and the pressure of | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, she has put them in the back | :39:36. | :39:46. | |
:39:46. | :39:59. | ||
of the net and kept her side in the gets her country back all square. | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
But you have to have some sympathy for New Zealand. But they cannot | :40:05. | :40:14. | |
:40:15. | :40:29. | ||
the far post, but in fact it made contact before and the penalty | :40:29. | :40:39. | |
:40:39. | :40:40. | ||
corner has been given. That was for hitting de Blaeij. Pretty poor | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
defending from the number one side in the world. Eshuis has hit that | :40:43. | :40:49. | |
ball probably 30 metres. It has not come through a crowd of players. | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
And it has hit de Blaeij on that right foot. She should have been | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
much lower, she knew where the player was. Having got back into | :40:58. | :41:05. | |
the game that is a poor corner to give away. This time it is Kayla | :41:05. | :41:15. | |
:41:15. | :41:23. | ||
Sharland. She is likely to be the protesting. Just one player, the | :41:23. | :41:33. | |

Flight 253, in my view. A not even an inch. She did well. She did well | :52:35. | :52:43. | |

the Dutch were instantaneous in going to speak to the umpires about | :53:10. | :53:20. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 169 seconds | :53:20. | :54:13. | |
hit? I agree with taking a long time, it is a semi-final, you want | :54:13. | :54:18. | |
to get the decision right. But I'm not sure what is taking quite as | :54:18. | :54:28. | |
:54:28. | :54:40. | ||
but it wants to be the right decision. Discussion between the | :54:41. | :54:50. | |
:54:51. | :55:11. | ||
made every attempt to move her foot. No foot. The right decision, from | :55:11. | :55:21. | |
:55:21. | :55:25. | ||
right decision, as they did yesterday evening, although the way | :55:25. | :55:30. | |
that was arrived at in the men's match was open to considerable | :55:30. | :55:40. | |
:55:40. | :55:52. | ||
debate. They got it right in the Otherwise, it is going to be extra | :55:52. | :56:02. | |

will be the Dutch Aardman, she doesn't have to get out of the way, | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
she doesn't have to be interfering with it, one of the rules is that | :56:31. | :56:35. | |
the attacking player cannot run directly at a player, because that | :56:35. | :56:40. | |
is deemed to be unsporting. I think she is slightly unfortunate, but I | :56:40. | :56:46. | |
have to say, when they took a quick free hit a minute ago, they were | :56:46. | :56:56. | |
:56:56. | :57:08. | ||
not five metres away. Maybe it has That is another penalty corner, and | :57:08. | :57:18. | |
:57:18. | :57:55. | ||
New Zealand. The 35th of the from Sharland. Because she up to | :57:55. | :57:58. | |
two hit it, she has to make sure that the first strike strikes the | :57:58. | :58:08. | |

corner and the umpire did not look at her colleague and felt it was a | :59:06. | :59:09. | |
long corner, but I thought that is why they had microphones and were | :59:09. | :59:19. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 169 seconds | :59:32. | :00:33. | |
of excellent backtracking by Alan well, two or three Dutch players | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
bearing down as the cross came in and did very well to get the ball | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :01:02. | ||
on the floor, not giving Holland minutes. Some controversy towards | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
the end of the match. But possibly a fair result that they should go | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
into extra time? I think so. Not too many people giving New Zealand | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
a chance in the match, in all honesty. I think Holland were very | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
good the other evening against Great Britain and were regaining | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
the form we expected in the tournament. But New Zealand, | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
unquestionably the surprise package in the tournament, and they do not | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
deny their own ability and they have a fantastic coach and | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
tactician. They set their stall out early, Kayla Sharland with the | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
early goal, which would have settled the nerves, if they were | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
showing any. Unfortunately for them they could not hold up and Maartje | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Paumen scored the penalty corner. Mark Hagar would have been a | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
happier of the two coaches at half- time. The second half much he has | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
same as the first. The pleasing thing from the mutual perspective | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
:02:15. | :02:19. | ||
is that it has been a superb advert for the sport. How do you think the | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
approach will be different when it goes in to lay golden goal | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
situation, which hasn't worked in football, but presumably hockey | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
likes? I think it is difficult. You would rather lose in a golden goal | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
situation than penalties and it will be interesting to see how the | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
coaches set out for these periods. Do they keep playing the way they | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
are and risk a goal at the other end? The question is more over the | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Dutch. New Zealand have such pace in the counter-attack but it is | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
probably the Dutch who will be more nervous about trying to get the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
winner, fearing what New Zealand can do with the counter-punch. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
when you refer to the penalties, they will not be the same as people | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
are used to watching football. they will not be. There is a new | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
rule that they have bought in a way you have eight seconds and that the | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
ball starts on the 23 metre line and the attacker has eight seconds | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
to beat the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper can make as many saves | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
as possible in the eight seconds. I think it is more entertaining for | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
the crowd that way. It is something I would like to see when a penalty | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
is given within the game. Players now are practising that skill, and | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
I think it entertains the Crown far more if you have a one-on-one | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
situation. -- entertains the crowd. I imagine the goalkeepers will hate | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
me saying that, but it is a weight of improving the sport, which is | :03:50. | :04:00. | |
:04:00. | :04:08. | ||
what they are always trying to do - is happening. And we are about to | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
:04:18. | :04:56. | ||
and worrying moments in that first will be, in the old style, with the | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
goalkeeper only able to become a hero, but now the goalkeeper might | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
give away a silly goal. We shall see. Lammers is set to go. Extra | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
time is on its way. Just to remind you, we will be moving on to the | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
gold medal match which could also be decided by a golden goal. The | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
:05:35. | :05:50. | ||
first of two semi-finals. Great to count down so the world can join | :05:50. | :06:00. | |

it came off the foot. It is a key that she is able in the 77th minute | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
:12:54. | :13:23. | ||
to repeat that speed through the pitch. That is the captain's Band, | :13:23. | :13:33. | |
:13:33. | :14:02. | ||
which depends so much on the foot, and not using them, that the | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
captain's armband should go around the ankle! Another huddle. Not much, | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
:14:19. | :14:26. | ||
surely, to say, except, "we have here very disappointed. I wouldn't | :14:26. | :14:31. | |

:16:03. | :16:19. | ||
penalty competition. If it gets to get yellow? Or I am not under | :16:19. | :16:27. | |
the central. I'm not sure if an aerial ball was there, I was | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
watching somewhere else, and I heard some Dutch appeals. You would | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
think something quite serious to receive a yellow card at this | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
:16:46. | :17:12. | ||
what the Dutch asking at the moment is they feel that the stick tackle | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
was worthy of a penalty stroke. Because they feel it impeded the | :17:20. | :17:30. | |
:17:30. | :17:41. | ||
Olympic Games semi-final, with five minutes to go there for penalties. | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
:17:51. | :18:11. | ||
But the New Zealand there was no a panic, realising she had let the | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
ball go through. A a tough one. I am not sure what the defender would | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
have got there at, and the goalkeeper still on the line. | :18:26. | :18:36. | |

generated some power on that penalty corner, she has gone for | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
the bottom right hand, and to be fair to Russell, she did get down | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
very quickly. Had it been on target, it would have been interesting to | :19:26. | :19:36. | |

The players make it up on the fly? No, I think they practise it often | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
enough. Some players come into the top of the circle and hit it as | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
hard as they can, put everything behind it. Other players will come | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
in, they like a toy around with the goalkeeper for a while. Once the | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
goalkeeper is on the floor, it is a difficult for them to get up. But | :26:15. | :26:20. | |

think if I was taking one, which I certainly wouldn't choose to do, I | :27:05. | :27:10. | |

electronic device monitored up to Naomi van As, that could not have | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
been easy, taking the first in the penalty shoot-out and having to | :30:00. | :30:05. | |
wait so long for the equipment to work. Completely wrong-footed | :30:05. | :30:12. | |
Bianca Russell in the goal, and a simple tap-in for Naomi van As. | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
will imagine there will be a different style from Sharland. Than | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
ours is one of the best move is, if not the best in the game -- than | :30:22. | :30:32. | |
:30:32. | :30:41. | ||
Sombroek. And, advantage to the Netherlands! She didn't look | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
confident that all she ran up to the ball. The contrast in the two, | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
Naomi van As was very quick, but Kayla Sharland was just jogging. | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
She never really took Sombroek out of the occasion. I am surprised she | :30:55. | :31:05. | |
:31:05. | :31:28. | ||
was taking on. But I suppose it is save. Yes, Paumen is denied. Well | :31:28. | :31:34. | |
done, Bianca Russell. She kept her feet so well. She half stumbled, | :31:34. | :31:44. | |
:31:44. | :32:22. | ||
half fell to the ground that makes effective. The goalkeeper came out | :32:22. | :32:28. | |
to beat her, and it whistled past her. My kind of style, no messing | :32:28. | :32:38. | |
:32:38. | :32:57. | ||
around. Exactly what she did in the Again, I don't think she did enough. | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
Although she is moving the ball she is moving the ball a matter of | :33:01. | :33:06. | |
centimetres, in all honesty. A great Stich saved by Sombroek in | :33:06. | :33:16. | |
:33:16. | :33:39. | ||
than you would see in the old penalty strokes. Some very good | :33:39. | :33:45. | |
goalkeeping. Absolutely. A Anita Punt will be next -- Anita Punt | :33:45. | :33:55. | |
:33:55. | :33:55. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 169 seconds | :33:55. | :34:55. | |
take Holland to another final, to big disappointment for the New | :34:55. | :35:00. | |
Zealanders who contributed hugely in their first ever Olympic semi- | :35:00. | :35:10. | |
:35:10. | :35:14. | ||
final. But they lose 3-1 in the shoot-out after a 2-2 draw. Great | :35:14. | :35:19. | |
stuff. From the first whistle, not just the penalty shoot-out, I think | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
it was absolutely fantastic. I think New Zealand are a credit to | :35:24. | :35:29. | |
the game. In Mark Hagar they have a fantastic coach. Well done, Holland. | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
It's so difficult to defend your title and they have given | :35:33. | :35:38. | |
themselves the best chance possible. But they realise they have been in | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
a dog fight today. Agreed advert for the game of hockey. 3-1 in the | :35:43. | :35:47. | |
penalty competition after a 2-2 draw. Well done, Holland. | :35:47. | :35:57. | |
:35:57. | :36:02. | ||
There certainly would have been questions asked with the chances | :36:02. | :36:06. | |
the Netherlands had in extra-time, but they have won it on penalties | :36:06. | :36:09. | |
and are through against New Zealand, and tonight it is Argentina against | :36:09. | :36:15. | |
Great Britain. Kate Walsh will lead her team out again tonight. Nine | :36:15. | :36:21. | |
days on from fracturing her jaw, what a brave lady. Then it is the | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
men tomorrow, Australia against Germany, then great Britain taking | :36:25. | :36:34. | |
on the Netherlands. That will be life, also at 8pm. So, Argentina to | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
the silver medallists from four years ago against Great Britain, | :36:37. | :36:41. | |
but we will be heading to the BMX track in a moment. But let's take a | :36:41. | :36:51. | |
check on the main headlines from British flyweight Nicola Adams will | :36:51. | :36:54. | |
be fighting in the first ever women's Olympic boxing final after | :36:54. | :37:04. | |
:37:04. | :37:15. | ||
And we will also be able to tell it that those pictures of Mo Farah, he | :37:15. | :37:19. | |
is the 10,000 metre champion and he will be going for the long-distance | :37:19. | :37:23. | |
double on Saturday evening in the 5,000 metres. It could be another | :37:23. | :37:30. | |
Super Saturday in that stadium. And this is the show jumping. The team | :37:30. | :37:35. | |
champions Great Britain came away empty handed in the individual show | :37:35. | :37:39. | |
jumping, one error proving costly for both Nick Skelton and Scott | :37:39. | :37:45. | |
Brash. Clarke and the males are joint leaders in the 470 class and | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
will battle for gold with New Zealand on Friday -- Clarke and | :37:49. | :37:59. | |
:37:59. | :38:04. | ||
I am seeking this at a time when I feel rather adrift. I have done a | :38:04. | :38:09. | |
complete U-turn on Hendry. If she had really cared for her, she would | :38:09. | :38:16. | |
not have kicked her out. I like how that makes me feel. He poisoned | :38:16. | :38:26. | |
:38:26. | :38:27. | ||
himself in the House of Bill fame! That is coming up soon on BBC One, | :38:27. | :38:32. | |
we are heading to the BMX track to see the men's time trial and Liam | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
Phillips from grit of -- Britain. There was some doubt he would be | :38:35. | :38:40. | |
able to compete after breaking his collarbone in Birmingham, but these | :38:40. | :38:50. | |
:38:50. | :38:52. | ||
racers are tough and fearless. fantastic time-trial rider. He | :38:52. | :38:55. | |
qualified first in the world championships this year, I think. | :38:56. | :39:00. | |
Yes, and definitely one of the favourites this week. He has put | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
himself together after his accident in the world championships. Let's | :39:03. | :39:11. | |
see if he can make the fastest lap -- lap. Nice and smooth, let's see | :39:12. | :39:19. | |
if he can keep it up. Come on, Liam. He just tank to the knuckle on the | :39:19. | :39:25. | |
step, slightly. He is carrying Speed and looking very good into | :39:25. | :39:30. | |
the rhythm section. The crowd going nuts, like they have all week at | :39:30. | :39:36. | |
the Velodrome. It is great to see this fantastic crowd. Fantastic | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
work on the back of the third straight. And he is the fastest | :39:40. | :39:46. | |
time so far! He has smashed it. Three-tenths of a second quicker | :39:46. | :39:56. | |
:39:56. | :39:56. | ||
than the rider from New Zealand. Very, very nice time at for Liam. I | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
do apologise, he did only get second in the world championship | :40:00. | :40:05. | |
time-trials. I was getting carried away. A nice, tidy lap from Liam. | :40:05. | :40:11. | |
I'm sure he has had lots of practice on the track. He would | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
have been nervous after coming back from injury, but he has come out | :40:15. | :40:25. | |
:40:25. | :40:26. | ||
and shown what he has got in his lap. Another one of the Dutch | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
production line. He is bound to put in a solid lap. Let's see what he | :40:31. | :40:38. | |
has got. If you can make the first four, you can get the best seeding. | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
If you are in the first eight, you're in a good position to choose | :40:42. | :40:48. | |
your gate for the quarter-finals. A lot of moving of the bike here. | :40:48. | :40:53. | |
is doing very well so far, very smooth. He took the first bump | :40:53. | :41:00. | |
perfectly. Nice and smooth through the rhythm section, opting to jump | :41:00. | :41:05. | |
the first few. A nice line around that final corner. Generating a lot | :41:05. | :41:12. | |
of speed. That puts him in first position, that was a good lap! I | :41:12. | :41:17. | |
think he gained most of that down the first-rate, very smooth on the | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
jumps, which helped the momentum forward. The quicker you can get | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
the bike on the ground, the quicker you can put down the power, and he | :41:27. | :41:33. | |
did it absolutely perfectly down the first straight. Doing a lot of | :41:33. | :41:43. | |
:41:43. | :41:47. | ||
work there. But he is one of the is phenomenal, and there is | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
explosive power out of the gate. Dressed in black, hitting the back | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
straight good. A slight bobble on the up step, but it didn't | :41:57. | :42:01. | |
interrupt his momentum. The momentum is nice and smooth on the | :42:01. | :42:08. | |
crossover. He is like a bomb on two wheels. Let's hope he does not get | :42:08. | :42:13. | |
too hot or he will be suffering. has done this rhythm section | :42:13. | :42:19. | |
beautifully file stop -- beautifully. He has made up for the | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
straight on the rhythm section. Almost hitting to the knuckle again. | :42:23. | :42:29. | |
I lot of riders getting caught up in the last straight up. Ended up | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
in 7th there. I am a little bit surprised by some of the results so | :42:33. | :42:39. | |
far in the time-trials, especially with Philips. I would have liked to | :42:39. | :42:43. | |
have seen them a bit further up on the leaderboard. But it just shows | :42:43. | :42:48. | |
you, when you get to these Olympic Games there are a few other factors | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
and a lot of that is the anxiety of being here in front of this huge | :42:53. | :43:00. | |
crowd. And also one TV in front of millions of people. It also adds | :43:00. | :43:06. | |
that extra bit of pressure. sometimes it can go one of two ways. | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
When you first arrive it can overwhelm you, or you can say that | :43:09. | :43:19. | |
:43:19. | :43:27. | ||
this kind of pressure. Now, the wily Frenchman, a fantastic rider. | :43:27. | :43:36. | |
Nice and smooth so far. Over the crossover, up the step. The 2011 | :43:36. | :43:41. | |
world champion. He came second in Birmingham earlier this year. He | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
has opted to John through the first half of the rhythm section. He he | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
should be one of the major contenders this week. A pretty | :43:51. | :44:01. | |
:44:01. | :44:21. | ||
smooth flat, not the best, but puts which is a massive margin, | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
considering we are getting down to the best in the world. Just two | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
riders left to go, and this is the man a lot of people have tipped for | :44:29. | :44:37. | |
the gold medal. A fantastic talent. He one the time-trial event at the | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
World Championships recently in Burnley and -- he won the time- | :44:40. | :44:49. | |
trial event. He does get a little bit frazzled in major events. But | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
he had a fantastic lap in Birmingham. Let's see if he can | :44:53. | :44:58. | |
pull off the same here in London. His back wheel was so low in those | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
first two doubles. He is very dramatic on the bike, you will see | :45:02. | :45:06. | |
a lot of movement with him, he tries to keep the bike as low as | :45:06. | :45:14. | |
possible. He got that one a little bit wrong. Let's see what he can do | :45:14. | :45:18. | |
down this last stride, hopefully keep it up right, all the way to | :45:18. | :45:28. | |
:45:28. | :45:34. | ||
the finish. He pumped as high as he well. A lot of very young riders in | :45:34. | :45:44. | |
:45:44. | :45:49. | ||
lot of action sport these days, and in the snowboarding, you look at | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
the Winter Olympics, some of these younger athletes have been learning | :45:53. | :46:03. | |
:46:03. | :46:09. | ||
watching at home, this is not what a fall macro year old or five year- | :46:09. | :46:15. | |
old starts off on! You only write this kind of elite track at this | :46:15. | :46:25. | |
:46:25. | :46:37. | ||
level. He is a lovely lad, he has jobs, but he still keeping his pace. | :46:37. | :46:41. | |
-- these jumps. Pretty smooth so far. He is certainly a lot quicker | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
than the last rider, who went through there with a couple of | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
mistakes. If it evens out over the whole track, we will see. Not good | :46:51. | :46:58. | |
at all. Said the place! That is a shock. -- 6th place. I have been | :46:58. | :47:08. | |
:47:08. | :47:15. | ||
quite shocked by some of these there. We have had some real upset. | :47:15. | :47:20. | |
-- upsets. The reigning Olympic champion has been pushed out of the | :47:20. | :47:30. | |
:47:30. | :47:31. | ||
top 10. Liam Phillips, who has had some fantastic time trial results, | :47:31. | :47:40. | |
is right down in 12th. A couple of the Dutch riders on leading. -- are | :47:40. | :47:50. | |
:47:50. | :48:13. | ||
lose any of these riders. The seeding is just to give Gate | :48:13. | :48:18. | |
election on the first day. I suppose it gives all of these | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
riders a taste of what is in store. It is probably one of the first | :48:22. | :48:27. | |
time as they would have done the whole track flat out. I'm sure it | :48:27. | :48:33. | |
has calmed down a few nerves. It has been beautiful weather here so | :48:33. | :48:39. | |
far, hopefully that will have the same weather again tomorrow. A few | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
surprises in the time-trial, but nevertheless, there is a lot of | :48:43. | :48:47. | |
sports science guys here, there will be a lot of analysis back at | :48:47. | :48:56. | |
We are really looking forward to tomorrow, it is the quarter-finals. | :48:56. | :49:00. | |
Eight riders on the track at any one time, going at speeds of up to | :49:00. | :49:06. | |
40 mph. As far as volley ball, the indoor version has delighted crowds | :49:06. | :49:11. | |
at Earls Court. All four quarter- finals are played today. Brazil, | :49:11. | :49:16. | |
who have one the last three World Championships beat Brazil. We are | :49:16. | :49:26. | |
:49:26. | :49:26. | ||
going to be concentrating on the other one's boss --. A volley ball | :49:26. | :49:30. | |
is being played at Earls Court, and we are concentrating on the US | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
against Italy. The state beat Italy just a month ago, but as we join it, | :49:35. | :49:45. | |
:49:45. | :50:21. | ||
Italy have taken the first two set. head-to-heads in the Olympic Games. | :50:21. | :50:31. | |
:50:31. | :50:50. | ||
They can't do anything about that. And it four more., and Italy have | :50:50. | :51:00. | |
:51:00. | :51:05. | ||
terms of head-to-heads in the big matches, Italy have the advantage, | :51:05. | :51:15. | |
:51:15. | :51:38. | ||
They are perplexed, they are puzzled. They are now staring | :51:38. | :51:48. | |
:51:48. | :51:49. | ||
Olympic elimination for in the face. Four points stand in the way of | :51:49. | :51:53. | |
Italy getting through, and they will restart with the serve, with | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
the advantage, and with every intention of closing this out. They | :51:57. | :52:07. | |
:52:07. | :52:31. | ||
have played absolutely Broca. The USA are going for height | :52:31. | :52:41. | |
:52:41. | :53:02. | ||
of the Olympic Games. The Olympic champions are set for defeat, | :53:02. | :53:08. | |
unless they can prove that they could dig themselves out of a huge | :53:08. | :53:18. | |
:53:18. | :53:30. | ||
hole. They have been playing catch- at the moment. And for Italy, it | :53:30. | :53:40. | |
:53:40. | :53:41. | ||
looks so easy. Two aces, and a perfect, perfect tip. They need two | :53:41. | :53:49. | |
more. What a time to do that. clever play. A little bit of missed | :53:49. | :53:55. | |
communication, excellent in Pohl's play. They look so happy, they are | :53:55. | :54:01. | |
really enjoying this. Italy have never one an Olympic gold at | :54:01. | :54:11. | |
:54:11. | :54:50. | ||
volleyball. -- have never won to Italy. Whether the champions | :54:50. | :54:58. | |
like it or not, believe it or not, they are about to be eliminated. | :54:58. | :55:02. | |
Three times the Olympic champions, the defending champions, but it all | :55:02. | :55:12. | |
:55:12. | :55:22. | ||
net. But it is only one match point saved. Four more still to go. The | :55:22. | :55:32. | |
:55:32. | :55:54. | ||
the Olympics for America! The champions have been felled. Italy | :55:54. | :56:04. | |
So, still two more quarter-finals to come tonight, but what a shock | :56:04. | :56:09. | |
there, Italy putting out the USA. We are about to go either to BBC | :56:09. | :56:14. | |
Two. I can tell you we will have table tennis, and we will also have | :56:14. | :56:21. | |
a saving report as well, and coming up at 7pm on BBC One, the athletics, | :56:21. | :56:28. | |
and nervous evening for Andy Turner, in the 110 metres hurdles semi- | :56:28. | :56:38. | |
:56:38. | :56:47. | ||
finals, at 7:15pm. The final will We have got Allyson Felix and Sanya | :56:47. | :56:57. | |
:56:57. | :57:00. |
