Good afternoon. Welcome to day 13 of the games, a day that sees 23

:00:53.:00:57.

gold medals up for grabs as plenty of sports which the business end of

:00:57.:01:02.

the competition. We will follow all the big stories here on BBC One,

:01:02.:01:06.

including BMX bikes crashing, horses dancing and 25 Women going

:01:06.:01:11.

for a dip in Hyde Park. That is the Olympic Games. Settle down for a

:01:11.:01:16.

busy few hours. Disappointment at the equestrian

:01:16.:01:20.

yesterday, but high hopes of another dressage gold in the

:01:20.:01:25.

individual event today. Britain's trio go from 3:20pm.

:01:25.:01:29.

Liam Phillips has recovered from a broken collarbone to make it to

:01:29.:01:36.

London. Can he follow Shanaze Reade into the BMX semi-finals?

:01:36.:01:39.

In three hours' time, Nicola Adams could become the first woman ever

:01:39.:01:44.

to be crowned an Olympic boxing champion, but only if she can

:01:44.:01:51.

overcome Ren Cancan of China. And it could be another golden day

:01:51.:01:55.

for Britain's sailors, although the weather is looking a bit too good

:01:55.:02:00.

at Weymouth at the moment. So it is disappointing that there

:02:00.:02:04.

is no sailing going on at Weymouth, but you only have to look behind me

:02:04.:02:07.

to realise that thousands of people here on the Olympic Park don't mind

:02:07.:02:11.

too much about the Sun being out. It is a wonderful day to celebrate

:02:11.:02:15.

a 13 of these Olympic Games. But before the lack of action on the

:02:15.:02:19.

water, let's catch up with what happened in the water in one of the

:02:19.:02:24.

most punishing Olympic disciplines, the gruelling 10k open-water swim.

:02:24.:02:28.

These are live shots off the spot that made his debut in Beijing.

:02:28.:02:32.

Keri-Anne Payne has had to wait for her big moment. She was the first

:02:32.:02:37.

British athlete to qualify for these games. She is now finally

:02:37.:02:41.

going for gold and go one better than the silver she managed in

:02:41.:02:46.

Beijing four years ago. The climax of the women's 10k open-water

:02:46.:02:50.

swimming will be live on BBC Two. We will join it for the closing

:02:50.:02:54.

stages. These are the live shots, and Keri-Anne Payne is still in

:02:54.:02:59.

with a chance of picking up victory. At the moment, the Hungarian is

:02:59.:03:04.

leading. Look out for the No. 15 for Keri-Anne Payne. Blue cap.

:03:04.:03:11.

Fingers crossed, she can make it to the front. She likes to lead in

:03:11.:03:16.

these races. She is an experienced swimmer. She is taking a break from

:03:16.:03:23.

a wedding to swim here, so it is important.

:03:23.:03:29.

Now, let's go to the south coast and the men's gold medal race in

:03:29.:03:32.

sailing's 470 class. Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell are guaranteed

:03:32.:03:36.

silver, but a convincing victory over Australia today, and that

:03:36.:03:41.

medal becomes gold. But to do that, they need to get on the water. So

:03:41.:03:45.

far today, that has proved problematic. Shirley Robinson is

:03:45.:03:49.

there for us. Can you explain the problem? Normally, we love it when

:03:49.:03:55.

the sun is out in this country. spectators are here, but as you say,

:03:55.:04:00.

no sailors yet. The sailing in Weymouth has been fantastic. We

:04:00.:04:06.

have had 12 days of great breeze and fantastic conditions. Today,

:04:06.:04:12.

light winds. Just not stable enough to set a course. I did speak to the

:04:12.:04:16.

GB meteorologist, and she is confident that by about 3:30pm,

:04:16.:04:21.

things will be good enough to send the sailors out and hopefully get

:04:21.:04:25.

that gold medal for GB. We are getting some wonderful shots of the

:04:25.:04:30.

crowds, young and old with a Union flags. 20th French flags as well.

:04:30.:04:34.

It's a shame they have not had the chance to see any sailing. How have

:04:34.:04:40.

they worked out that there is not enough wind? Five or six knots

:04:40.:04:44.

means that it is even for the course and fair for everybody.

:04:44.:04:49.

Earlier, we were out and it was classy, like a millpond. Today it

:04:49.:04:56.

looks better. I am optimistic that it will happen later. But the

:04:56.:05:02.

sailors are waiting and the tension is building. For those crowds and

:05:02.:05:08.

our viewers, once the action gets going, what can we expect from the

:05:08.:05:14.

sailing today? For the British duo, they have nothing to lose. They are

:05:14.:05:19.

guaranteed silver. When you speak to them, they are so confident. I

:05:19.:05:23.

asked what the strategy was, and they said attack, attack, attack.

:05:23.:05:28.

They will be going for the Aussies. The Aussies are favourites for this

:05:28.:05:32.

event. They are world champions, but they are on the back foot. They

:05:32.:05:37.

are used to be winning by miles, and now they will be in a street

:05:37.:05:42.

fight. There will be lots of Aussie flags and Union Jacks. We look

:05:42.:05:46.

forward to the big battle. Only a couple of days of sailing left. The

:05:46.:05:50.

Olympic Park is bouncing every day because of the success of Britain

:05:50.:05:54.

in the Games. How has it been down there? What is the feeling about

:05:54.:05:58.

how our sailors have performed? Maurer, we are also guaranteed a

:05:58.:06:04.

silver medal in the 470 women, and they are on equal points with the

:06:04.:06:10.

Kiwis for that gold medal. All in all, that will be five medals. If

:06:10.:06:14.

we don't pull it off today, we could be pulling it off tomorrow.

:06:14.:06:20.

There is a lot to look forward to. We will try and send thousands over

:06:20.:06:25.

to the red button to join you for the start of this life. So you

:06:25.:06:29.

expect there to be some racing later? Don't quote me on that, but

:06:29.:06:38.

you have time for it could have tea. -- a cup of tea. At least you will

:06:38.:06:42.

get a suntan if nothing else. So as you saw, lovely weather down

:06:42.:06:47.

there and here. Haven't we seen fantastic scenes at these -- these

:06:47.:06:51.

games at Greenwich? It has been one of the places to be if you want to

:06:51.:06:54.

see successful British action, despite a disappointing day

:06:54.:07:04.
:07:04.:07:04.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:07:04.:08:00.

And in and it is going to be a Nick Skelton, at his very best. It

:08:00.:08:09.

is a wait and see game now. This could be the first gold since 1952!

:08:09.:08:14.

And Britain has got gold. Will they be here to see Britain win their

:08:14.:08:20.

first ever dressage medal? This is gold about to happen. She has made

:08:21.:08:30.
:08:31.:08:32.

It has been good, and Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes is down there as

:08:32.:08:37.

everything comes to an end. Before we talk about today, let's talk

:08:37.:08:41.

about yesterday. Nick Skelton, just as we thought he had done it, he

:08:41.:08:46.

knocked over that fence, which was disappointing. Where were you

:08:46.:08:51.

watching? I was watching down here, where the athletes get interviewed.

:08:51.:08:56.

I get -- kept getting troubled by all the other broadcasters. My arms

:08:56.:09:01.

would be in the air whenever anything happened. He was the 6-1

:09:01.:09:04.

favourite at the start of the competition to win their individual

:09:05.:09:14.
:09:15.:09:15.

a muddle. Then # God save our We really thought he was going to

:09:15.:09:18.

win the gold medal, so when it Skelton had that fence down,

:09:18.:09:23.

everyone was like, what? He was so upset. He was crying when he won

:09:23.:09:26.

the gold and he cried when he missed out on the individual. He

:09:26.:09:31.

was very close this year, but Nick Skelton is still a marvel. He had a

:09:31.:09:38.

hip replaced a couple of years ago. He has broken his neck before. Kind

:09:38.:09:42.

of a walking marvel. To be out there riding at his age and doing

:09:43.:09:47.

this well is amazing. The they are all superheroes. What amazing games

:09:47.:09:52.

at Greenwich. You have had a plum job. Talking of superheroes, the

:09:52.:09:59.

American dressage rider Steffan Peters, who is riding behind me, he

:09:59.:10:04.

is riding to Avatar music, or was. Lots of fun music. I was talking

:10:04.:10:08.

earlier to Matt Baker and I was not allowed to say what sort of music

:10:08.:10:13.

we have. It said a strict embargo until 12:30pm. But now I can tell

:10:13.:10:18.

you we have had Black Eyed Peas, Phil Collins, Avatar. But to come,

:10:18.:10:23.

we have some very patriotic music. We have lots of Gustav Holst and

:10:23.:10:31.

escape to victory and Big Ben Charlotte Dujardin is the hot

:10:31.:10:34.

favourite for Britain, part of the gold medal-winning team for the

:10:34.:10:40.

dressage a couple of days ago. She will be trying to nail it at 3:50pm

:10:40.:10:45.

in Greenwich. In football terminology, the Lionel Messi of a

:10:45.:10:50.

horse world is a stunning horse, the horse belonging to Charlotte

:10:51.:10:57.

Dujardin. She is lucky to have that horse. This level is like the

:10:57.:11:00.

Premier League of dressage. She has only been riding at this level for

:11:00.:11:04.

less than two years, so for her to be at an Olympic Games at the age

:11:04.:11:12.

of 26, which is pretty young in a horse turns, is pretty great. The

:11:12.:11:18.

two of them were part of Britain's gold medal-winning team in the

:11:18.:11:23.

Europeans. Lionel Messi has obviously been at the top for a

:11:23.:11:26.

long time, but Charlotte Dujardin has only been doing this for less

:11:26.:11:31.

than two years. Before we let you go, another big crowd there.

:11:31.:11:34.

Obviously plenty of British interest. The big question is, what

:11:34.:11:39.

is the reason for choosing your own music and doing this to music?

:11:39.:11:44.

is called the Grand Prix freestyle. Dressage has three different

:11:44.:11:48.

disciplines. You have the Grand Prix, the first part of the team

:11:48.:11:54.

test. Then you have the Grand Prix special, which is more difficult

:11:54.:12:00.

movements. Then you have the Grand Prix freestyle, when you can do

:12:00.:12:04.

what you want. They have six minutes to impress the judges. They

:12:04.:12:08.

are not just looking for technical ability, but also artistic

:12:08.:12:13.

impression. So it is important that they wow them with some good music.

:12:13.:12:18.

Traditionally, some of the dressage to music was a bit peaky blokey. My

:12:18.:12:22.

manager thought it would not be very good. But we had some Black

:12:22.:12:28.

Eyed Peas, and everyone was like, wow! Daegu of very good marks for

:12:28.:12:32.

their artistic impression. People make a living out of making music

:12:32.:12:37.

for dressage riders, so this is a big competition. It has been packed

:12:37.:12:41.

every day, but we probably have the most avid out today, because this

:12:41.:12:46.

is the favourite dressage competition for the spectators.

:12:46.:12:50.

Finally, what time can we expect the British riders out? Laura

:12:50.:12:57.

Bechtolsheimer does at 3:20pm. Car Hester is not far behind. He goes

:12:57.:13:01.

at 3:30pm and then Charlotte Dujardin is the last to go at

:13:01.:13:05.

3:50pm. We look forward to hearing the music and seeing the routines.

:13:05.:13:10.

We will bring you that live on BBC One. Now we returned to the

:13:10.:13:14.

Serpentine in central London. It is a stunningly beautiful location for

:13:14.:13:18.

a stunningly Britain event. 25 swimmers battling the water and

:13:18.:13:21.

each other to be the first of the finish line. Keri-Anne Payne is

:13:21.:13:31.
:13:31.:13:44.

the black hat. Anderson is closer to us from the USA. Keri-Anne Payne

:13:44.:13:51.

is in fourth position. Risztov has led all the way through. Will she

:13:51.:14:00.

get the gold? Risztov of Hungary gets it. Goodness me, the Proms has

:14:00.:14:04.

gone to grow mouldy of Italy. Keri- Anne was just behind in fourth

:14:04.:14:12.

position. -- the bronze went to go Malby of Hungary. So close, but the

:14:12.:14:18.

gold, deservedly, Eva Risztov of Hungary almost led from the gun.

:14:18.:14:26.

She is out already. How has she done that after so much effort? She

:14:26.:14:34.

led all the way. I don't know how she can walk, Andy. Congratulations

:14:34.:14:41.

to Risztov from Hungary. It is an example of how fit she is to hop

:14:41.:14:45.

straight out of water and hardly look out of breath. We have

:14:45.:14:48.

swimmers come out of the water and be wheeled away in wheelchairs.

:14:49.:14:51.

Keri-Anne Payne will be disappointed with fourth place. We

:14:51.:14:56.

know she picked up silver in Beijing four years ago. She was

:14:56.:14:59.

desperately hoping to improve on that and pick up the gold medal

:14:59.:15:03.

here. She has been an amazing open- water swimmer for the past few

:15:03.:15:09.

years. It is her specialist discipline. After 10 kilometres,

:15:09.:15:13.

Keri-Anne Payne was four seconds away from the winner. But that is

:15:13.:15:23.
:15:23.:15:25.

the way it goes. Well done for And well done to the crowds for

:15:25.:15:28.

turning up in Hyde Park. Yes, you can get tickets to be at the

:15:28.:15:32.

Olympic Park, but when events are free and people can turn up for the

:15:33.:15:37.

triathlon, road racing, wonderful crowds are there. Now, today at

:15:37.:15:40.

Wembley Arena, it is the qualifying stages in the women's all-round

:15:40.:15:45.

rhythmic gymnastics. Britain's Frankie Jones is desperate for home

:15:46.:15:48.

support to inspire her to something special. We will be on the road to

:15:49.:15:58.
:15:59.:15:59.

Wembley shortly. First, here is how All performances take place on the

:15:59.:16:03.

floor, a 30 metre square carpet laid over a sprung wooden base.

:16:03.:16:10.

There are four pieces of apparatus used. Hooper, a bore, club and

:16:10.:16:20.
:16:20.:16:33.

There are two distinct competitions, individual and group. 24 gymnasts

:16:33.:16:38.

perform four routines, one with each other apparatus. The top 10

:16:38.:16:42.

progress to the all-around final. Each individual routine lasts a

:16:42.:16:51.

maximum of 90 seconds. 12 groups of five gymnasts perform two routines

:16:51.:16:58.

and the top eight progress to the final. Routines last a maximum of

:16:58.:17:03.

2.5 minutes. For the first routine all groups use just one piece of

:17:03.:17:09.

apparatus and in the second they use a combination of two. Group

:17:09.:17:13.

exercises must show exchanges of apparatus between the gymnasts as

:17:13.:17:18.

well as intricate formations. If you would like to get involved in

:17:18.:17:28.

Olympic sports coat to the website. We said we had a mix of sport this

:17:28.:17:32.

afternoon. Before long we are back to Greenwich for the dressage and

:17:32.:17:38.

we have got BMX action as well. Now it is time to see Frankie Jones.

:17:38.:17:44.

She needs to get into the top 10 today to go through to the final.

:17:44.:17:54.
:17:54.:17:57.

Let's join Mitch Fenner and to the floor in the form of Frankie

:17:57.:18:07.
:18:07.:18:12.

Jones. We were not represented in Beijing, but here is Frankie Jones

:18:13.:18:22.
:18:23.:18:23.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:18:23.:19:46.

in London. A fabulous piece of great start for a frank people stop

:19:46.:19:54.

two words, graceful and controlled. The audience are full of Union

:19:54.:20:00.

Jacks and they are not disappointed with that. That was a lovely start,

:20:00.:20:06.

probably her favourite apparatus. She negotiated it well. Not quite

:20:06.:20:10.

some of the huge difficulty we have seen from some of the more

:20:10.:20:19.

experienced competitors, but that was a really good performance.

:20:19.:20:23.

4th all-around in the 2010 Commonwealth and a silver medallist

:20:23.:20:27.

with hopes. She knows how to produce a performance under

:20:27.:20:37.
:20:37.:20:42.

pressure. Francesca Jones trains at Birmingham rhythmic gymnastics club.

:20:42.:20:47.

She has been a very committed gymnast over the years. Three years

:20:47.:20:52.

she worked full-time in centralised training. Really pushing herself

:20:52.:20:59.

here. It is a good score, it is difficulty that pulls her down. She

:20:59.:21:08.

It left her 4th at that stage and she eventually finished 21st and

:21:08.:21:15.

the aim is to be in the top 10. There was a partisan British crowd

:21:15.:21:22.

cheering -- cheering her on. Next she picked up a silver medal in

:21:22.:21:27.

this in 2010, so would it be enough to send her through? This is what

:21:28.:21:37.
:21:38.:21:42.

she did that on her first performance. Here is an apparatus

:21:42.:21:48.

that she got silver in the Commonwealth Games in 2010. Dare we

:21:48.:21:56.

hope for a higher score? We dare. I asked her before what was her best

:21:56.:22:02.

apparatus and she said this was the one she found the hardest. She has

:22:02.:22:12.
:22:12.:22:38.

confidence is showing through in this performance. Keep it up,

:22:38.:22:48.
:22:48.:23:24.

was a bit strange what the whistle. It is not a whistle, more a

:23:24.:23:28.

dramatic couture, indicating the end of the routine, but the music

:23:29.:23:34.

kept going. It is unusual because the music is very well timed and

:23:34.:23:40.

rehearsed and practice. Whether that was a slight problem or a

:23:40.:23:45.

technical hitch with the machines, it was a very clean, good

:23:45.:23:51.

performance. A very confident performance. She is building in

:23:51.:23:58.

confidence, you were right. She has certainly done herself and the

:23:58.:24:04.

sport very proud so far. Eight top 10 placing is a bit beyond her, but

:24:04.:24:10.

she will be looking to post two very good scores. It is the

:24:10.:24:16.

difficulty that will be a problem for her. Really good artistry and

:24:16.:24:22.

executions caused. She has achieved what she has set out to do,

:24:22.:24:32.
:24:32.:24:33.

Sitting 11th after those routines and doing herself proud. If you

:24:33.:24:38.

would like to follow that, you can press the red button. She has got a

:24:38.:24:45.

good array of teddy bears as well. Time to talk taekwondo. If it is

:24:45.:24:53.

new to you, this is what you need to know. The competition is divided

:24:53.:24:57.

into four weight categories for women and four men. Each division

:24:57.:25:03.

has 16 athletes who are competing for gold. Each competition date

:25:03.:25:07.

will feature one male and one female category. It is a straight

:25:07.:25:11.

knockout tournament with a repechage for bronze medal places.

:25:11.:25:18.

The final contest will decide who wins gold and who wins the silver.

:25:18.:25:22.

One point is scored by a powerful, accurate punch to the torso,

:25:22.:25:27.

although punching to the face is forbidden. One point is scored by a

:25:27.:25:32.

kick to the torso. The impact has to be with the ft below the ankle.

:25:33.:25:38.

Technical excellence is rewarded. If the athlete uses a continuous

:25:38.:25:45.

rotating movement, they will be awarded two points. Speed, timing

:25:45.:25:49.

and flexibility are required for head kicks. They are worth three

:25:49.:25:58.

points. The most spectacular are head kicks involving a continuous

:25:58.:26:05.

pain. They are worth four points. If you would like to get involved

:26:05.:26:13.

in Olympic sports, go to the website. If you do not fancy

:26:13.:26:18.

getting involved, perhaps this will inspire year. This was the

:26:18.:26:22.

preliminary round and competing for Great Britain was Jade Jones for

:26:22.:26:29.

Wales. She was victorious taking on her Serbian opponent. You can see

:26:29.:26:34.

the score on the screen, 15-1. Building up to this tournament she

:26:34.:26:39.

has had help from local businesses in a full-length in Wales so she

:26:39.:26:48.

could carry on competing. Here she is through to the quarter-finals.

:26:48.:26:58.
:26:58.:26:58.

But who would she face? In the Blue is Croatia's sportswoman of the

:26:58.:27:08.
:27:08.:27:32.

style. Hence the quick-fire start. The centre referees have been

:27:32.:27:39.

called in, sorry the centre referee has called in the corner judges.

:27:39.:27:46.

There is a head shot scored on the board. That is for the Croatian. I

:27:46.:27:54.

think the point has gone to the Japanese athlete. That is my take

:27:54.:28:04.
:28:04.:28:24.

on it anyway. It was the Croatian wrong way around, perhaps. We will

:28:24.:28:32.

find out. The video replay is designed for situations like this.

:28:32.:28:37.

We have got a view of it in the stadium and I am sure you will get

:28:37.:28:47.
:28:47.:29:22.

underneath, and that is why we need the centre referee and the video

:29:22.:29:32.
:29:32.:30:12.

the Japanese. This is an upset to the form book so far. That was a

:30:12.:30:22.
:30:22.:30:23.

good spin from the Croatian, but she did not get the distance right.

:30:23.:30:28.

If you are new to the sport, you probably will not know they are

:30:28.:30:34.

wearing electronic body armour. If you hit the body armour, you will

:30:34.:30:40.

get one point. You have seen a couple of head shots. Those are

:30:40.:30:44.

worth three points. If you do a spin before that, it would be worth

:30:44.:30:54.
:30:54.:30:54.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:30:54.:32:19.

De Gracia looked as if she had grabbed one upstairs, but didn't.

:32:19.:32:25.

There was the body shot on their inside. Great head shot again from

:32:25.:32:35.
:32:35.:33:00.

But Hamada is looking strong and composed. She will have seen the

:33:00.:33:05.

efforts of her team-mate yesterday. She performed well. Didn't really

:33:05.:33:15.
:33:15.:33:33.

threaten the podium, but this is a differential here. Hamada looks

:33:33.:33:41.

much more powerful. That is the athlete in red, against the thin

:33:41.:33:51.
:33:51.:33:56.

air frame of the Croatian. Hamada looks strong. I eat my words there,

:33:56.:34:04.

as Hamada leads the foot of her opponent. The young Croatian has

:34:04.:34:12.

clawed herself back into this match here. Good attempt at a head shot

:34:12.:34:22.
:34:22.:34:23.

again from the Japanese female. That kyong-go was given by the

:34:23.:34:32.

Puerto Rican referee. Kyong-gos are a management. If you do anything

:34:32.:34:36.

that inhibits the fair process of the match, you take a kyong-go,

:34:36.:34:41.

just as both ladies take 8 point each there. Another push from the

:34:41.:34:48.

Croatian makes it nine to it. Those punishments, at the kyong-gos, can

:34:48.:34:58.
:34:58.:35:27.

lacking for Croatian support at this event. The Japanese athlete

:35:27.:35:33.

needs five good meals a day to keep the weight on. Five meals a day.

:35:33.:35:43.

Food heaven! Probably works fairly hard to keep the weight manageable.

:35:43.:35:47.

But every so often, competitors have to work hard to keep the

:35:47.:35:52.

weight of. For her, it is the other way round. She will be training

:35:52.:35:57.

three hours a day, two hours per session. So you need at least 6000

:35:57.:36:01.

calories to sustain that effort. It is understandable. Quite enviable

:36:01.:36:11.
:36:11.:36:21.

country's first taekwondo champion when she took the under 53 class in

:36:21.:36:31.
:36:31.:36:42.

shot over the top restores her lead. This is of mild significance to the

:36:42.:36:44.

potential British entrance today. If Jade Jones were successful, she

:36:44.:36:51.

would meet either of these two females in her next match. She has

:36:51.:36:59.

the Serbian, Gladovic, and that is coming up in a short while. She

:36:59.:37:05.

will fight against the Serbian. But it is back to Japan and Croatia

:37:05.:37:15.
:37:15.:37:28.

indicating that he thought it was a head shot in the flurry go exchange

:37:28.:37:38.
:37:38.:37:58.

yesterday. The Frenchman is on the right hand side. The other is a

:37:58.:38:08.
:38:08.:38:11.

Singaporean. They will both look at this. If that is the action that

:38:11.:38:21.

the Japanese coach has asked to review, well... You never like to

:38:21.:38:26.

be critical of a coach's efforts. They see different things than we

:38:26.:38:32.

do, but they're certainly looked to be limited or zero contact. Perhaps

:38:32.:38:38.

just touched to the back of the head. Successful. Well, I eat my

:38:38.:38:44.

words there yet again, because that has made the biggest difference.

:38:44.:38:52.

These video replays are coming to fruition here. There was the

:38:52.:39:02.
:39:02.:39:03.

mildest of contacts to the back of the head. That will be a three

:39:03.:39:11.

point a head shot. Hamada has done just enough. Can she sustain it?

:39:11.:39:21.
:39:21.:39:32.

Ana Zaninovic will be kicking Zaninovic. This is a three point

:39:32.:39:40.

game. A head shot would change it. Hamada staying active, and on the

:39:40.:39:50.

verge of upsetting things here. The oak, is that in the last second?

:39:50.:39:54.

Unbelievable taekwondo action. Don't look away, or you will miss

:39:54.:40:04.
:40:04.:40:04.

it. But it is taken away by the referee. The head shot was scored,

:40:04.:40:11.

but excellent refereeing from the Puerto Rican, are holding and

:40:11.:40:21.
:40:21.:40:35.

head shot. It was wiped away by the Centre referee. It is now 14-11. A

:40:35.:40:39.

video replay card has been used by the Japanese coach, and I am not

:40:39.:40:43.

going to criticise, because the last time he did it, he was spot on.

:40:43.:40:48.

But at this stage, because the points have been wiped away, it

:40:48.:40:53.

really is almost irrelevant. To be fair to me, he has now noticed the

:40:53.:41:00.

scoreboard. And after that frenetic exchange, the winner of the

:41:00.:41:10.
:41:10.:41:11.

contest... Hamada of Japan. That could change things for later.

:41:11.:41:16.

There may well be another Croatian medal at the end of today, but only

:41:16.:41:26.
:41:26.:41:30.

now if Hamada makes her way into Something of an upset there. Jade

:41:30.:41:40.
:41:40.:41:40.

is in action at 3:30pm against Japan's Hamada on BBC Three.

:41:40.:41:45.

Jade, you can't have asked for a much better start? Yeah, the points

:41:45.:41:50.

were going really good. The plan was perfect. I didn't feel at my

:41:50.:41:59.

sharpest. I felt sharper warming up. But the tactics were perfect.

:41:59.:42:08.

Stepping it up now? Hopefully. hair, the Japanese athlete, is she

:42:08.:42:12.

the fire to your expected? I was expecting Croatia to get through,

:42:12.:42:16.

but I have studied all of them, so I will go back through the tactics

:42:16.:42:23.

again. Talk me through that home crowd when he walked out for the

:42:23.:42:26.

first time? In it was amazing. I did not expect it when I came out,

:42:26.:42:33.

it was crazy, people shouting my name. The atmosphere is amazing.

:42:33.:42:37.

Congratulations to her. That is not the only good news for British

:42:37.:42:42.

taekwondo today. This is Britain's Martin Stamper, who was also in

:42:42.:42:46.

quarter-final action this afternoon. He fights later, after another

:42:46.:42:52.

impressive victory. He struggled towards the end. He was leading at

:42:52.:42:56.

one point and then got into trouble for running away from the Mexican.

:42:56.:43:00.

But with a couple of seconds left, he makes it through. More joy from

:43:00.:43:06.

the crowd. Martin, a tense couple of rounds,

:43:06.:43:12.

but you pulled it out of the last one. Yeah. It is really hard to

:43:12.:43:15.

score on the body armour. Maybe because they are brand new and they

:43:15.:43:20.

are quite hard. I just needed to bide my time. I was doing the right

:43:20.:43:24.

things. I thought I was unlucky with a few back kicks where I

:43:24.:43:28.

thought I hit the body armour. But I was doing the right thing. I just

:43:28.:43:33.

waited, and he was the first one to crack and take a risk. Then he was

:43:33.:43:39.

open to the head. How difficult is it to stay calm when you are at an

:43:39.:43:43.

Olympic finals and your scores are not hitting in the first couple of

:43:43.:43:48.

rounds? It was tough, but me and my coaches went back and decided to

:43:48.:43:53.

stick to the plan. Like I said, he took one risk and then he was

:43:53.:44:00.

opened. Stick with your coat and interact and make sure you stay

:44:00.:44:07.

calm under pressure. Serbia rather than Peru in the next round. Yeah,

:44:08.:44:11.

the one I beat in the Europeans. But he is really good, so I have

:44:11.:44:16.

got to go back, recover, look at some videos and do my best. Some of

:44:17.:44:20.

what it means to be out here at these Games after you missed out

:44:20.:44:27.

four years ago? It is unreal. I felt like dancing. I was just

:44:27.:44:33.

buzzing. The crowd just erupted, everyone chanting your name. It

:44:33.:44:38.

might have looked a bit of a boring fight, 0-0 for two rounds, but they

:44:38.:44:43.

still kept behind and took me through to the wind.

:44:43.:44:47.

If he is as good at one dancing as he is at taekwondo, I would like to

:44:47.:44:51.

see his dancing. If you would like to see him against the Peruvian,

:44:51.:44:58.

that is at 3:45pm. Jade goes at 3:30pm. The live taekwondo will be

:44:58.:45:01.

on BBC Three. If you are just joining us, I'm afraid to say there

:45:01.:45:06.

is disappointing news for Keri-Anne Payne. She would have been so keen

:45:06.:45:10.

friend medal in the 10k open-water swimming. She came in fourth, but

:45:10.:45:14.

she was up against the best swimmers in the world. She has

:45:14.:45:19.

interrupted preparations for her wedding to swim in this. Her fiance

:45:19.:45:23.

was watching. After 10 kilometres of swimming around the Serpentine

:45:23.:45:28.

in Hyde Park, Keri-Anne Payne came in in the blue hat in fourth place.

:45:29.:45:33.

Four seconds off the lead. Let's see how she is feeling after that

:45:33.:45:39.

exertion. It did not go my way from the start,

:45:39.:45:46.

unfortunately. I tried to lead, but it just shows that they played me

:45:46.:45:52.

at my own game by leading from the front. She did such a good job. The

:45:52.:45:58.

top 25 in the world are here, so to come forth is not too bad. It was

:45:58.:46:04.

really close as well. Not quite what I wanted for the crowd and all

:46:04.:46:10.

the people who have worked so hard to get me here, but yeah. It was a

:46:10.:46:14.

terrific effort. How much were you hurting during the last lap? I was

:46:14.:46:22.

hurting for most of the swim. have always said open water is

:46:22.:46:26.

about making the right decisions at the right time. I had to go and

:46:27.:46:31.

feed, and I missed the bottle. From then, I struggled to get back. I

:46:32.:46:36.

was probably working too hard compared to how I normally take the

:46:36.:46:41.

place. I did not have enough at the end. I know you have about 50

:46:41.:46:47.

family members here. David is here to. They are so proud of you.

:46:47.:46:54.

you. The support has been fantastic. I would like to thank my coach is

:46:54.:47:03.

and all the guys. Also Ben and Simon and lead and Sarah. And my

:47:03.:47:08.

family and Dave. I would not be here without them. Is that it the

:47:08.:47:16.

EU in open-water swimming? I don't know how things will go. It will be

:47:16.:47:22.

my last one for a while. I need a break. But we will say. It is not

:47:22.:47:32.
:47:32.:47:34.

David wants to say a word. That was so hard watching and that last bit

:47:34.:47:37.

you picked it up again and you did everything you could and we are

:47:38.:47:44.

also proud of you. Well done. Really quite emotional scenes and

:47:44.:47:48.

David Davies was the open-water swimmer who picked up a silver

:47:48.:47:55.

medal in Beijing. He tried to swim in the 1,500m and did not qualify.

:47:55.:47:58.

As far as Keri-Anne Payne is concerned now is not the time to

:47:58.:48:03.

look to the future, because making these decisions when you are so

:48:03.:48:08.

emotional is not the best thing to do. Elizabeth Simmonds says, you

:48:08.:48:14.

are a hero, well done, an incredibly tough race. Becky

:48:14.:48:18.

Adlington says, absolutely so proud of Keri-Anne Payne, I cannot

:48:18.:48:24.

believe I get to call her a friend. She is amazing, 4th in the world

:48:24.:48:31.

and such a tough event. She was quite emotional, but a strong and

:48:31.:48:34.

impressive performance from her. Let's hope it is not the last time

:48:34.:48:40.

we see her swimming. We are going live to the BMX a little bit later

:48:40.:48:46.

on and also the dressage. Right now a place on the top step of the

:48:46.:48:51.

podium and a place in the record books awaits Nicola Adams if she

:48:51.:48:55.

can overcome a current world champion and become the first ever

:48:55.:49:05.
:49:05.:49:16.

woman to claim an Olympic boxing I am a 15 kg and two-times world

:49:16.:49:21.

medallist. I was 13 years old, I was not nervous at all. I just

:49:21.:49:26.

could not wait to get in there. all started with her coming down to

:49:26.:49:33.

the gym with me. Did you intend to take her to a boxing session?

:49:33.:49:37.

did not realise they had boxing, she just went off and did her own

:49:37.:49:42.

thing. I knew she was not going to get hurt because they have got the

:49:42.:49:47.

trainers and the coaches there and it is something for the kids to do.

:49:47.:49:52.

It is very expensive, the choices we had to make, the equipment and

:49:52.:49:57.

everything and it has not been easy. The days of boxing being an Olympic

:49:57.:50:02.

sport for men only are over. Women boxers will be able to compete at

:50:02.:50:07.

the London Olympics. His women's boxing what we want in London 2012?

:50:07.:50:16.

A woman wants to box, she should be allowed to. I was not interested in

:50:16.:50:23.

women's boxing and I did not like to see young girls get hit. I could

:50:23.:50:30.

see the determination in the girl. Within 18 months we have got five

:50:30.:50:36.

in the world's top 10 in their weight. In the 2008 European

:50:36.:50:40.

Championships we got seven medals. How do you feel about women's

:50:40.:50:46.

boxing now? I love it. She has got this amazing smile, she has got a

:50:46.:50:50.

slight frame and she does not strike you as someone you would

:50:50.:50:55.

associate with boxing. Exactly, she has got flat feet and she is not a

:50:55.:51:00.

good runner, she has got asthma. She has got sheer determination and

:51:00.:51:04.

if it had not been for boxing, she would have been a little villain.

:51:04.:51:12.

Really? Yes. There was a time when it was nearly all over for you.

:51:12.:51:16.

had a serious back injury which left me in bed for a few months,

:51:16.:51:22.

which was frustrating because I am such a get up and go person. At the

:51:22.:51:26.

time the GB selections were going on and I could not train. I went

:51:26.:51:31.

from being able to do 300 sit-ups a day to not being able to do one.

:51:31.:51:37.

Did you think, this is it? That thought crossed my mind a few times.

:51:37.:51:42.

When I started punching again, I was so slow and I was overweight

:51:42.:51:47.

and I saw everybody else on the GB team fly up and down and I was like,

:51:47.:51:53.

how am I ever going to get back to like how I was before? I was saying

:51:53.:51:57.

to the coaches, will I be ready to come back to this level? They said,

:51:57.:52:04.

yes, you can do this. She wants to become the world champion, so she

:52:04.:52:13.

works hard to do that. It is because of girls like her that it

:52:13.:52:20.

is all going right. I have been boxing for so long and I have won a

:52:20.:52:26.

lot of tournaments. The European Championships, getting gold, and

:52:26.:52:31.

silver medals at the World Championships. What would it mean

:52:31.:52:37.

to have an Olympic gold medal? would give that Olympic medal a

:52:37.:52:46.

whole shelf. What a fighter and what a day for her. It is the first

:52:46.:52:51.

ever boxer to pick up a women's gold medal. You can see her this

:52:51.:52:59.

afternoon at 4:30pm. Her nickname his baby face, but she is a super

:52:59.:53:06.

tough fighter. But also Ireland's Katie Taylor has amazed us not just

:53:06.:53:16.
:53:16.:53:18.

with her talents, but with her considerable fan base as well.

:53:18.:53:22.

a long wait it has been it for the boxer wearing red representing

:53:22.:53:32.

Ireland, Katie Taylor. Unbelievable, I do not know if the viewers can

:53:32.:53:36.

appreciate this atmosphere, but it is blistering. It is more like a

:53:36.:53:46.
:53:46.:53:48.

football match. This is a dream come true for me. A standing

:53:48.:53:54.

ovation for a Katie Taylor. experience, her strength, her speed

:53:54.:54:01.

is shone through in that bout. feel like I'm in Heaven just now.

:54:01.:54:06.

The improvement she has made over a short period of time is immense.

:54:06.:54:16.
:54:16.:54:17.

Katie Taylor, absolutely superb. Who would bet against her? Big, big

:54:17.:54:23.

day for British and Irish boxing. Nicola Adams is an action at 4:30pm

:54:23.:54:27.

on BBC One and after that Katie Taylor from island steps into the

:54:27.:54:33.

ring. Let show you what is happening at the BMX area. It is

:54:33.:54:38.

next to the Velodrome which has given us some remarkable action.

:54:38.:54:41.

Today the men are in action and they are looking to make it through

:54:41.:54:47.

to their seeding round. You can see what an amazing course this is.

:54:47.:54:52.

Everything here has been built from scratch. There are just warming up.

:54:52.:54:58.

The men and the women compete on different courses. They are lovely,

:54:58.:55:02.

beautiful shots. Ian Phillips is going to be competing for Great

:55:02.:55:08.

Britain. We are also going to Greenwich for some dressage as well.

:55:08.:55:12.

Plenty of British interest. Many people believe we can pick up yet

:55:12.:55:17.

another medal. Hopefully a gold. Look how beautiful Greenwich is

:55:18.:55:22.

looking. What a wonderful idea to hold the equestrian action down

:55:22.:55:32.
:55:32.:55:49.

here. We can go live to see what is this year. This is a key test in

:55:49.:55:59.
:55:59.:55:59.

the build-up to the individual dressage medals. She has provided a

:55:59.:56:05.

very good start. I would say she is going better than she did in the

:56:05.:56:10.

Grand Prix Special and no major mistakes so far. Lovely half passes

:56:10.:56:18.

with the backdrop of the Queen's House. Sometimes a horse gets a

:56:18.:56:28.
:56:28.:56:31.

little bit downhill. We want to see him carrying himself. The extended

:56:31.:56:41.
:56:41.:56:42.

canter up to the judges' heart. -- heart. One-and-a-half pier West and

:56:42.:56:52.
:56:52.:57:13.

a slight loss of balance. No Three from Great Britain and one

:57:13.:57:20.

very strong contender from the Netherlands. This next hour or so

:57:20.:57:30.
:57:30.:57:35.

it is going to be electric before we get to those gold medals. As we

:57:35.:57:39.

come to the conclusion of her performance, it is her last chance

:57:39.:57:49.
:57:49.:57:49.

to really show the judges what the horse is made of. She has got the

:57:49.:57:53.

reins in one hand and turning the course, are showing she has got

:57:53.:57:57.

great control. A little loss of balance in the transition coming

:57:57.:58:07.
:58:07.:58:16.

out. The same again. That was a better transition. Some real

:58:16.:58:23.

highlights here. That is to keep the judges in a good humour as she

:58:23.:58:33.
:58:33.:58:33.

comes towards the end of her test. Equestrian theatre at its a very,

:58:34.:58:39.

very best. The Germans are not going to go down without a very

:58:39.:58:49.
:58:49.:58:55.

good fight. The three young ladies have started off in form. The score

:58:56.:59:01.

to be at the moment is 82%. The judges are marking for artistic

:59:02.:59:07.

impression and technical merit. This is the extended trot. The

:59:07.:59:12.

horse up slide across the arena with all four feet off the ground,

:59:12.:59:16.

controlled beautifully by this diminutive little rideable stop

:59:16.:59:26.
:59:26.:59:33.

brought his hind legs together for a one stride. The judges will take

:59:33.:59:43.
:59:43.:59:44.

that into account. She looks very pleased. She is happy with her

:59:44.:59:49.

first Olympic Games. It is a very hot afternoon with very hot

:59:49.:59:56.

competition. Remember the leading Mark is 82% and that lead is with

:59:56.:00:04.

Holland at the moment. Adelinde Cornelissen is de to come, the

:00:04.:00:14.
:00:14.:00:17.

reigning European champion. Now there is the usual stewards cheque

:00:17.:00:23.

for the Spurs to make sure they are all within the rules. Those marks

:00:23.:00:28.

are coming in just a moment. We have got a little pause for 10

:00:28.:00:34.

minutes or so before we go into the last six. Everyone of the 21,000

:00:34.:00:38.

will be back in here for that very exciting finish to this Olympic

:00:38.:00:48.
:00:48.:00:50.

Games. The equestrian Olympics are better than ever. They go into

:00:50.:00:59.

second. That is a tremendous performance for this young 25 year-

:00:59.:01:05.

old Stark in what is her very first year in senior competition. A

:01:05.:01:10.

tremendous performance. Two more for Germany, three for Britain and

:01:10.:01:14.

one for Holland in the build-up to the individual medals for the

:01:14.:01:24.
:01:24.:01:25.

Germany have had such success in the press side over the years. I am

:01:25.:01:31.

as excited about the performance as I am over the music. Yesterday that

:01:31.:01:36.

BMX competition opened with a bang. One expert described the day as a

:01:36.:01:41.

success because no-one left the track on a stretcher. It is that

:01:41.:01:45.

kind of sport and the freshness of it has led to a lot of interest.

:01:45.:01:50.

You cannot get a ticket to watch it live, but we will show you the

:01:50.:02:00.
:02:00.:02:00.

Each race features 8 riders competing on a track with jumps,

:02:00.:02:04.

bumps and corners. The race that starts on an eight metre-high ramp

:02:04.:02:09.

and usually lasts about 40 seconds. The bikes are equipped with just

:02:09.:02:16.

one gear and one break. As a contact sport, collisions are not

:02:16.:02:19.

uncommon in BMX, although competitors must not deliberately

:02:19.:02:25.

impede one another or force another off the track. The lead rider may

:02:25.:02:29.

choose their line around the track, but on the final straight is not

:02:29.:02:35.

allowed to block the line of any rider trying to pass. The Grands

:02:35.:02:43.

Prix one as the front wheel crosses the finishing line. -- the race is

:02:43.:02:47.

won as the front wheel crosses the finishing line. 48 riders are

:02:47.:02:51.

competing for just two gold medals, one for the men and one for the

:02:51.:02:55.

women. The competition begins with a time trial qualification one

:02:55.:02:58.

where each rider races solely against the clock to determine

:02:58.:03:03.

their seeding for the main competition. A complex series of

:03:03.:03:07.

races follows, cutting the field down to two semi-finals. The top

:03:07.:03:11.

four from the semi-finals will enter the final to race for the

:03:11.:03:16.

medals. If you would like to get involved in Olympic sports, go to

:03:16.:03:19.

the BBC Sport website for more information.

:03:19.:03:23.

There are so many variables with this. We saw Shanaze Reade crashing

:03:23.:03:27.

out in Beijing. She did the same at the World Championships. She was in

:03:27.:03:31.

action yesterday and perform well, but it is quarter-finals day today

:03:31.:03:35.

for the men and Britain's Liam Phillips is looking to make his

:03:35.:03:38.

first Olympic semi-final. He needs to go quicker than he did weeks ago

:03:38.:03:42.

in the world championships, when he crashed and broke his collarbone.

:03:42.:03:47.

But in BMX racing, when you fall off, you get straight back on and

:03:47.:03:53.

go again. Helen Skelton is with Jamie staff at the Olympic Park. We

:03:53.:03:58.

are getting a wonderful shot of the BMX track. This is one of the

:03:58.:04:04.

hottest tickets on the Olympic Park today. He there are families who

:04:04.:04:08.

have never been to the Olympics who were desperate to come to the BMX

:04:08.:04:12.

because it is something kids relate to. You see banners all over the

:04:13.:04:18.

place saying, inspired a generation. That is fitting, because this is

:04:18.:04:21.

the one sport born out of kids being inspired by motocross. This

:04:21.:04:26.

is the quarter-finals, the first elimination phase for the man. By

:04:26.:04:29.

the end of today, 50% of the men's field will end their Olympic Jenny.

:04:30.:04:36.

Shanaze Reade -- Shanaze Reade competes tomorrow. With me now is

:04:36.:04:41.

Jamie staff, former BMX world champion and track gold medallist.

:04:41.:04:45.

Liam is in foreign gruelling day, because the quarter-finals is done

:04:45.:04:54.

over five runs, not to mention the competition. Yes, he has a tough

:04:54.:05:00.

day. He has also had surgery to deal with. Hopefully, he will be

:05:00.:05:05.

going fast. Yesterday, we saw most of the riders just wanting to get

:05:05.:05:09.

round in a safe manner. Unfortunately, we saw a few

:05:09.:05:12.

accidents and a couple of minor injuries. But all the guys will be

:05:12.:05:17.

ready for today and the girls for tomorrow. Not to scare people, but

:05:17.:05:21.

to give the riders the respect they deserve, we are mentioning the

:05:21.:05:27.

injuries. You cannot downplay the lottery element. In Liam's 8, he is

:05:27.:05:31.

alongside seven other riders, including some who have suffered

:05:31.:05:37.

massive injuries. These injuries are getting worse. As the tracks

:05:37.:05:42.

have got bigger, the accidents are getting worse. We are starting to

:05:42.:05:46.

get internal injuries to organs. Guys' hearts have stopped beating,

:05:46.:05:51.

we are tearing livers and kidneys. It is getting pretty hardcore. You

:05:51.:05:57.

have to give these guys their due. But after a few weeks of surgery,

:05:57.:06:00.

they are back on the track doing what they love. They deserve

:06:00.:06:06.

respect. I will let you hot tear it up to the commentary position.

:06:06.:06:09.

Jamie will be alongside the Ed Leigh throughout the quarter-finals.

:06:09.:06:14.

A long day for Liam Phillips. He will hope to be in the top two

:06:14.:06:18.

after three runs. If he is, he goes straight through to the semi-finals.

:06:18.:06:23.

It is blisteringly hot. You cannot back on what will happen. You can

:06:23.:06:27.

only be certain that the reception for Lynn Phillips will be as warm

:06:27.:06:32.

as the tarmac. -- the reception for Liam Phillips. I wonder what the

:06:32.:06:36.

atmosphere is like up there, because there is also the mountain

:06:36.:06:39.

biking up there. How much are they feeding off what we have seen on

:06:39.:06:44.

the road and in the velodrome? and Shanaze Reade have a constant

:06:44.:06:48.

reminder. Over my shoulder, you can see the velodrome. When they leave

:06:48.:06:54.

the gates, that will be on their horizon. So I hope it provides them

:06:54.:06:58.

with inspiration. I was with Annie Last at Hadleigh Farm the other day,

:06:58.:07:02.

and she has only been to the Olympic Village ones. It is hard

:07:02.:07:07.

for them not to get distracted. Shanaze Reade is in an Olympic

:07:07.:07:10.

apartment block alongside Victoria Pendleton. No doubt Victoria

:07:10.:07:14.

Pendleton has been celebrating, but that makes it difficult for Shanaze

:07:14.:07:19.

Reade. Those guys are trying to keep their focus. Do we expect Liam

:07:19.:07:25.

to go through today? He is a dark horse. He bounced back from that

:07:25.:07:30.

collarbone, but the guys behind the scenes are calling him a dark horse.

:07:30.:07:37.

He has strong competition. Pick a expect one of the others to take a

:07:37.:07:42.

medal. I was speaking to a multiple world champion earlier who won all

:07:42.:07:46.

his world titles when he was not the fastest. Liam is not the

:07:46.:07:50.

fastest. Anything could happen. Particularly in front of a home

:07:50.:07:53.

crowd. A soap, Helen will gear herself up

:07:53.:07:57.

for the action. Jamie is off to the commentary box and we are nearly

:07:57.:08:01.

ready to go there, but first, let's hear from him Phillips himself. He

:08:01.:08:11.
:08:11.:08:20.

You can't throw yourself off a hill and jump 40 ft jumps, being scared.

:08:20.:08:30.
:08:30.:08:31.

You will not win, simple as that. It was always going to be difficult.

:08:31.:08:36.

It was going to be tough. Time away allowed me to come to terms with

:08:36.:08:41.

the fact that if I am to do this sport, you are going to get hurt. I

:08:41.:08:45.

was training with some of the best bike riders in the world, but

:08:45.:08:48.

ultimately, there was a passion about it. It was always going to be

:08:49.:08:58.
:08:59.:09:01.

tough. Good start by Phillips. Oh, what a crash! Phillips has gone

:09:01.:09:09.

down. That look too bad to me. was a pretty hard for. It is the

:09:09.:09:17.

infamous step up. Crashed at the World Championships. But I am

:09:17.:09:21.

thankful that I have overcome that. It has been and gone. I have had

:09:21.:09:25.

the surgery and had the collar bone fixed. Afterwards, there were other

:09:25.:09:32.

injuries. There were bits and pieces that went undetected. It is

:09:32.:09:37.

the Olympics in your home country. I have seen the way in which

:09:37.:09:42.

everybody reacts to major sporting events - the football, the Rugby.

:09:42.:09:46.

Managers refer to the team having an extra man when they are playing

:09:46.:09:51.

at home. That is something to draw on. To be at the centre of that is

:09:51.:09:59.

cool. I can't believe the accident we

:09:59.:10:09.
:10:09.:10:11.

just saw was only weeks ago. You can follow him on twitter. He said,

:10:11.:10:17.

I can't wait to get out there again. Weeks ago, he broke his collarbone.

:10:17.:10:21.

Today he looks to make it through to the next round in the men's BMX.

:10:21.:10:25.

We will be there in a few moments. If you were tuning in this

:10:25.:10:28.

afternoon to watch the sailing, it is beautiful weather here on the

:10:28.:10:33.

Olympic Park. Lovely and calm, hardly a cloud in the sky, but not

:10:33.:10:38.

good for the sailing. In the men's 470, it is GB against Australia.

:10:38.:10:43.

They are racing for gold, but at the moment, there is not any racing

:10:43.:10:47.

going on. But those flattering -- fluttering flags are surely good

:10:48.:10:54.

news. Shirley told us they expect to get going around 3:30pm. We will

:10:54.:10:59.

keep you updated. Elsewhere on the BBC, you can see water polo on BBC

:10:59.:11:07.

one point in it. If you press the red button, there are all sorts of

take you to the brand new BMX track that has been built on the Olympic

:12:58.:13:02.

Park especially for these Olympic Games. It is right next to the

:13:02.:13:06.

velodrome. As Helen Skelton told us a few moments ago, that is a

:13:06.:13:11.

constant reminder of the success of British cycling at the moment. Dave

:13:11.:13:14.

Brailsford, the brains behind British cycling, is not just behind

:13:14.:13:18.

what happens on the track and the road, he is also behind the

:13:18.:13:22.

mountain biking and the BMX. Fingers crossed that can rub off on

:13:22.:13:27.

Liam Phillips, who is going for Great Britain. Let's hand over to

:13:27.:13:37.
:13:37.:13:46.

the intrigue and interested in each. We will have five races

:13:46.:13:50.

for each quarter final. The riders will score points according to

:13:50.:13:54.

their positions in each race. If you come first, you get one point,

:13:54.:13:59.

if you come second, two and so on. The riders with the lowest points

:13:59.:14:04.

then go straight into the semi- finals. We will have the final two

:14:04.:14:11.

races with just six riders. They will then join the others in the

:14:11.:14:16.

semi-finals. Five races in total. After three races, we take two out

:14:16.:14:22.

and then we have just two races with another two riders. Looking

:14:22.:14:27.

through the course, the track splits after the first turn. Jamie,

:14:28.:14:31.

we have been looking at this finish straight here. It is a lethal

:14:32.:14:36.

finish straight. A lot of the riders commentator on that

:14:36.:14:41.

yesterday. It does not look challenging from where we are stood

:14:41.:14:46.

and on TV. But there are some pretty steep transitions. And it is

:14:46.:14:50.

a bit technical. It has been catching riders out, so it will be

:14:50.:14:54.

interesting to see what happens. Hopefully, the riders have figured

:14:54.:15:00.

it out. The reigning Olympic champion said there are a lot of

:15:00.:15:04.

lips and some compressions coming through. Some riders have nicknamed

:15:04.:15:11.

the first obstacle the widow Maker! Hopefully, it is not! They will

:15:11.:15:15.

have taken a closer look in practice. These guys have been

:15:15.:15:21.

training for several days. A typical BMX rider puts a lot of

:15:21.:15:25.

effort into the first, second and third straight and does not focus

:15:25.:15:29.

so much on the last straight, but they will have paid attention after

:15:29.:15:39.
:15:39.:15:40.

the accident yesterday. We are in the start date with the first of

:15:40.:15:50.
:15:50.:16:15.

Quentin is one of the riders to look out for. The Australian is the

:16:15.:16:19.

wild child, absolutely covered in tattoos. But a lot of people are

:16:19.:16:29.

tipping him for great things. main man to watch is the rider in

:16:29.:16:39.
:16:39.:17:16.

Gate One. They are under starter's was trying to squeeze through, and

:17:16.:17:23.

he has dropped back. The Brazilian Renato Rezende has had a fantastic

:17:23.:17:28.

race. Khalen Young went down hard just there on the rhythm section.

:17:28.:17:38.
:17:38.:17:42.

Just got it wrong. So, van der Biezen in first. The Latvian Edzus

:17:42.:17:48.

Treimanis went down very hard yesterday. That was a very, very

:17:48.:17:58.

good race for van der Biezen. But Khalen Young has taken a big hit.

:17:58.:18:02.

That's very bad news for him. We mentioned him as one of the wild

:18:03.:18:12.

cards. Yes, he just could not quite get the inside line. For some

:18:12.:18:18.

reason, he had a big accident down on that third straight in the

:18:18.:18:21.

rhythm section, whether he just lost focus. You just have to lose

:18:21.:18:26.

focus for a split-second, and you're going down. It is such a

:18:26.:18:30.

technical sport, there is no room for error.

:18:30.:18:34.

ED LEIGH: We had a couple of people tweeting yesterday asking about the

:18:34.:18:39.

gearing on the bikes... Here we go. JAMIE STAFF: He just mistimed it,

:18:39.:18:47.

he hit the next lip, which sent him flying over the bars. But he is up

:18:47.:18:51.

and walking around, I think he is going to be OK. Hopefully he will

:18:51.:18:57.

be able to challenge for the next ride. He is a big man, he is

:18:57.:19:01.

wrapped in plenty of muscle, I reckon he should be able to shake

:19:01.:19:08.

that off. So, confirmation of that first run. The Brazilian, a total

:19:08.:19:13.

outsider, no-one saw that coming. He capitalised on Khalen Young

:19:13.:19:17.

going down. Then you have got the Ecuadorian in third place, Falla

:19:17.:19:27.
:19:27.:19:47.

Buchely. Over to the second heat. Fields, with Jimenez in the second

:19:47.:19:57.
:19:57.:19:59.

lane. JAMIE STAFF: Lane is still a good

:19:59.:20:09.
:20:09.:20:19.

official will say, riders ready... Within five seconds, the gate will

:20:19.:20:29.
:20:29.:20:46.

with a great start. Beautiful start. But coming up on the inside is

:20:46.:20:52.

Connor Fields. Connor Fields is leading. Good battle going on

:20:52.:20:58.

between the Frenchman and the Belgian. The Canadian Tory Nyhaug

:20:58.:21:04.

in third position. He had his spleen removed about 2.5 once ago,

:21:04.:21:08.

so he is just ecstatic to be here. But at the moment, fantastic race

:21:08.:21:18.

for Connor Fields. Tory Nyhaug came in in third place, and Liam

:21:18.:21:25.

Phillips got second. What a start from Liam Phillips Jason Day it was

:21:25.:21:29.

an amazing start, he got so much speed coming off the ramp, but

:21:29.:21:33.

unfortunately, Connor Fields just beat him to the first turn. How

:21:33.:21:40.

much of that was to do with the gate? Yes. It is important. But on

:21:40.:21:44.

the start, you have got to be super alert, and he was, and he got a

:21:44.:21:53.

brilliant start. But Connor Fields just got him for the first turn.

:21:53.:22:02.

The guy who broke his neck, Jelle van Gorkom, down in seventh. The

:22:02.:22:12.
:22:12.:22:24.

Latvian, Rihards Veide, was in for the podium, Connor Fields,

:22:24.:22:30.

finished first in that heat. Now, onto the next one. Remember, there

:22:30.:22:34.

are five races for each quarter final, so this is just the start,

:22:34.:22:41.

but consistency is the key. Yes, consistency is rewarded. After the

:22:41.:22:46.

first three rides, if you fall in the first two, then you transferred

:22:46.:22:51.

to the semi-final, you do not have to ride the remaining two. And that

:22:51.:23:01.
:23:01.:23:39.

powerful. Consistently one of the picked the inside lane. Gates down,

:23:39.:23:49.
:23:49.:23:49.

and they are out. The New Zealander just getting out in front. Big

:23:49.:23:59.
:23:59.:24:00.

crash there! He has taken the whole field with him! This is BMX, ladies

:24:00.:24:08.

and gentlemen, anything can happen, and anything did happen! That is

:24:08.:24:15.

absolutely unreal. I am pretty sure it was Nicolas long that went down

:24:15.:24:20.

first. I think he might have done his collarbone, which would be

:24:20.:24:30.
:24:30.:24:34.

typical. The two US guys have gone down. From what I saw, it looked

:24:34.:24:41.

like David Herman actually caused that crash, when his front wheel

:24:41.:24:51.
:24:51.:24:52.

just grabbed. That was phenomenal. We need to see a replay of that.

:24:52.:25:02.
:25:02.:25:04.

Willers, The only rider who escaped! Everyone's searching for

:25:05.:25:09.

the same line in that first turn, so if one rider goes down, they all

:25:09.:25:19.
:25:19.:25:20.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:25:20.:26:10.

These guys are clipped in, so they at the start of Euro Olympics.

:26:10.:26:14.

huge blow for the Americans. Under starter's orders for the fourth

:26:14.:26:24.
:26:24.:26:24.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:26:24.:27:41.

the top ranked rider in the world, caught up! He managed to stay clear

:27:41.:27:51.
:27:51.:28:04.

crossing the line, you cannot do that in BMX. This is unbelievable,

:28:04.:28:08.

all of these riders so desperate for a good start, they are putting

:28:08.:28:14.

it all on the line. Kirkham eventually crosses in seventh. But

:28:14.:28:19.

I think it was the German who really struggled, he went down so

:28:19.:28:29.
:28:29.:28:34.

hard. Kirkham did not have a second to react, he actually ran him over.

:28:34.:28:42.

Willoughby Was unable to keep the league in that race. They come

:28:42.:28:47.

round, and you can see the German in third, losing his front wheel.

:28:48.:28:52.

And Kirkham goes straight through the back of him. It is phenomenally

:28:52.:28:59.

quick. We saw this at the World Championships, just silly mistakes,

:28:59.:29:03.

and don't forget, these guys have practised this track time and time

:29:03.:29:09.

again. Whether they are just super anxious, not focusing 100%, but

:29:09.:29:19.
:29:19.:29:19.

silly mistakes are happening. Interestingly, we have got three

:29:19.:29:23.

matchmm of limestone on the top, I don't think that will be making it

:29:23.:29:27.

any more slippery, but certainly, we have got guys brushing it down

:29:27.:29:37.
:29:37.:29:44.

accident for the Colombian. Helen, I think that has summed up BMX

:29:44.:29:50.

racing, four races, three big accidents. There is only one word

:29:50.:29:55.

to describe what we have seen so far, and it is absolute carnage.

:29:55.:29:59.

Liam Phillips is fine, he is in one piece at the moment. We have done

:29:59.:30:04.

just one run out of five which we will see in the quarter-finals. In

:30:04.:30:09.

the third heat, we saw an absolute monster. Everybody went out apart

:30:09.:30:17.

from the first rider. In the end, it was the New Zealander Willers

:30:17.:30:21.

who got his get out of jail free card. He looked over his shoulder

:30:22.:30:25.

and it looked like he could not believe what was going on, you just

:30:25.:30:29.

saw everybody else picking up the pieces of their bikes. It has been

:30:29.:30:33.

difficult to watch, difficult for anybody who knows anybody out on

:30:33.:30:36.

the track, exciting for those who are coming to this for the first

:30:36.:30:41.

time. I think this should have come with a public health warning before

:30:41.:30:48.

we put it on to BBC One. Let's just focus on Liam Phillips for a moment.

:30:48.:30:51.

The aim of BMX racing is to stay out of trouble, as we have seen,

:30:51.:30:56.

which is exactly what he did. Phillips did fantastically well on

:30:56.:31:00.

his first run. He got out early, which is what they want to do, to

:31:00.:31:04.

get clear of the traffic. Liam Phillips and Shanaze, because they

:31:04.:31:08.

have not raced that much this year on the World Cup series, some

:31:08.:31:11.

people have been saying that they have not got enough experience in

:31:11.:31:15.

traffic. But he was able to get away from the pack and put in a

:31:15.:31:25.
:31:25.:31:26.

really fast time. He did really well in the Time Trial, but you do

:31:26.:31:31.

not get a medal for that, unfortunately. Just worth reminding

:31:31.:31:34.

people that Liam Phillips is still recovering from not just a big

:31:34.:31:44.
:31:44.:31:49.

Birmingham in May and crashed on a corner, and snapped his collarbone.

:31:49.:31:57.

The awful thing about this sport is a broken arms and, Bourne's --

:31:58.:32:04.

collarbones are kinder for par for the course! I expect there is

:32:04.:32:09.

another broken collarbone out there already. People can see that live

:32:09.:32:13.

on the red button at just after half past three. Don't get too

:32:13.:32:20.

close to the action! I will try and hang out over here. I will take one

:32:20.:32:25.

step away from the rail and let the action unfold as safely as possible

:32:25.:32:34.

behind me. You can see that on the From the BMX track to the dressage

:32:34.:32:40.

arena, only at the Olympics! As the riders get to choose the music in

:32:40.:32:45.

the form to, I'm looking forward to see who opts for Justin Bieber. No

:32:45.:32:53.

scores are carried forward, we have some good hopes for Great Britain,

:32:53.:33:00.

Charlotte Dujardin and, is that still the case, having seen the

:33:00.:33:03.

competition out there? It is certainly getting a lot tighter.

:33:03.:33:07.

The British riders are going to have to ride out of their skin,

:33:07.:33:12.

probably achieving a PB, because the marks of the Olympics are much

:33:12.:33:16.

lower than you would see in general competition. We are down to the

:33:16.:33:21.

business and, the top six riders have been in action in the last

:33:21.:33:28.

third of the action, Germany had just gone into the lead, with a

:33:28.:33:34.

very, very high score. Not an Olympic record, but not far off it.

:33:34.:33:42.

A few minutes until Laura Bechtolsheimer rides, her mark is

:33:42.:33:48.

expected to be a liar. I have got to know my voice because I will --

:33:48.:33:53.

lower my voice to do so will be told off it by end to nowt. They

:33:53.:33:58.

are going all out for the individual competition, Germany are

:33:58.:34:03.

leading and also have the bronze medal position as well. But five

:34:03.:34:08.

forces are left to go, we will know in about half-an-hour. One more

:34:08.:34:11.

question, when we watch the cross country, we understand it is all

:34:11.:34:15.

about getting over the obstacles in the quickest time, and the show

:34:15.:34:19.

jumping, we understand getting over the fences. For people new to this,

:34:19.:34:24.

explain what we are looking out for. Slightly more complicated with the

:34:24.:34:28.

freestyle, because the writers can do what they want and are marked

:34:28.:34:32.

accordingly. But they do have to perform a certain number of things

:34:32.:34:39.

in it, when you think about ice- skating, you have to perform some

:34:39.:34:44.

things to get a good mark. They will be trying to perform with

:34:44.:34:48.

artistic impression, and there is no Justin Bieber, I have got to

:34:48.:34:52.

tell you. The better and more dynamic than music, the more the

:34:52.:34:58.

marks 10 to creep up. That is where Charlotte Dujardin will capitalise,

:34:58.:35:04.

we have got pond and circumstance coming, she has died Big Ben chimes,

:35:04.:35:10.

hopefully the judges will love it. We saw, plenty of smiles and flag-

:35:10.:35:17.

Let hand you over to our commentators. Fingers crossed for

:35:41.:35:47.

challenge here for the individual medals. That is what is on this

afternoon. We are into the last horses. She will be riding to the

:35:57.:36:07.

music of the Black Swan. We are expecting AA very good score. The

:36:10.:36:20.
:36:20.:36:21.

three-time Olympic champion is in second place at the moment. The 18-

:36:21.:36:26.

year-old horse is due to retire after these Games. We have now got

:36:26.:36:36.
:36:36.:36:37.

27-year-old Laura Bechtolsheimer. It is the 6th year of a partnership

with her horse. They have achieved so much. They were in that team

:37:51.:37:58.

freestyle performances, her best performance last April, 87.6, which

:37:58.:38:04.

was her British freestyle record, but it has been beaten. What can

:38:04.:38:12.

she do? Her music comes from the Lion King soundtrack. The first of

:38:12.:38:22.
:38:22.:39:00.

three rides for Great Britain, personal best, surely. Indeed, and

:43:12.:43:17.

of the leaderboard with three to go, and would mean Britain would

:43:27.:44:01.

time changes. -- one a very small mistake. Delighted to hear you say

:44:36.:44:44.

she beats 84.303 per cent, Britain will win an individual medal for

certain, with two more for -- to come. Fantastic! That is one of the

:44:53.:44:59.

best tests I have ever seen from a British rider in freestyle. And she

:44:59.:45:06.

knows it. She comes from Gloucestershire. And now, this

:45:06.:45:16.
:45:16.:45:26.

crowd have suddenly come a week. -- world too often. Could those gold

:45:26.:45:36.
:45:36.:45:55.

getting. A can't believe the focus this horse had today. Just having a

:45:55.:46:02.

wonderful time. And let's remember, four years ago when they first went

:46:02.:46:08.

to the Olympics, this horse was younger and a lot more spooky.

:46:08.:46:12.

Spotted the big screens and didn't give of his best. But today, on the

:46:12.:46:22.
:46:22.:46:46.

Here come the Marks... She goes into the lead. 88% artistic score,

:46:46.:46:50.

which means Britain will definitely win an individual medal, but what

:46:50.:46:58.

colour will it be? There are two more British riders to come and one

:46:58.:47:07.

from Holland. Oh, dear, it's going to be another very, very exciting

:47:07.:47:12.

competition! Now, Carl Hester, the man who has inspired British

:47:12.:47:22.
:47:22.:47:28.

dressage, the man born in Sark, and they are going to have a gold-

:47:28.:47:38.
:47:38.:48:14.

painted postbox there. What can he Britain, Carl Hester, and Utopia.

:48:14.:48:18.

This is the first time we have seen this, but I have had very good

:48:18.:48:24.

reports of the music. It certainly sounds like a good beginning.

:48:24.:48:34.
:48:34.:48:35.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:48:35.:51:39.

wow! Both horse and rider have such mistake there. Back into another

:51:39.:51:49.
:51:49.:51:49.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:51:49.:52:41.

pirouette... Second pirouette, very another good pirouette, hopefully

:52:41.:52:51.
:52:51.:52:51.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:52:51.:53:54.

he has made up for that tiny little from one of the best riders in the

:53:54.:54:03.

world? A tremendous performance, and let's put it into perspective.

:54:03.:54:09.

If he does more than 84.303%, Britain will have at least two of

:54:09.:54:12.

the three individual medals, and that has to be a strong possibility,

:54:12.:54:22.
:54:22.:54:23.

after that test. That was fantastic. A man who has just completed his

:54:23.:54:33.
:54:33.:54:33.

fourth Olympics, 12th time in the British team. He rode in Barcelona,

:54:33.:54:37.

Sydney, Athens, and now here. And the crowd are on their feet yet

:54:37.:54:47.

again. He was part of that wonderful European Championship win

:54:47.:54:57.
:54:57.:54:59.

in Rotterdam on this lovely horse. And he could be on for an a Olympic

:54:59.:55:09.
:55:09.:55:11.

medal here. So, one rider still to come. Carl Hester is pretty

:55:11.:55:18.

emotional, which is quite a surprise. He is such a superlative

:55:18.:55:23.

rider. Two riders to come, a strong challenge from the Netherlands, and

:55:23.:55:31.

of course, then, the young 26-year- old Charlotte Dujardin, a pupil, a

:55:31.:55:35.

stable rider, of this very man coming out of the ring now, Carl

:55:35.:55:40.

Hester. Everyone looking to the scoreboard. Let's have a look at

:55:40.:55:44.

some of the movements for the moment. This was the real highlight,

:55:44.:55:54.
:55:54.:56:31.

the extended trot, this horse is wonder whether he will be just a

:56:31.:56:38.

shade disappointed with that. But one more British rider to come.

:56:38.:56:42.

That score means that Laura Bechtolsheimer is guaranteed an

:56:42.:56:48.

Olympic medal here in London. Fingers crossed it gets confirmed.

:56:48.:56:51.

I was hoping I could come home with a medal today after that

:56:51.:56:57.

performance. I get emotional thinking about it. He is 17 years

:56:57.:57:02.

old, and he has given me so much. That was the best performance of

:57:02.:57:06.

the week for us. He was just beautiful to ride, so powerful, but

:57:06.:57:16.
:57:16.:57:20.

so easy. I was just thinking and he was doing it for me. He is always a

:57:20.:57:25.

big, powerful horse, but music has never been his favourite thing. In

:57:25.:57:29.

this last 12 months, he has really knuckled down to it. They cannot

:57:30.:57:33.

practise music that often, and this music I have only practised once in

:57:33.:57:38.

competition. I have been through it 1,000 times in my head. But he did

:57:38.:57:42.

exactly what I asked, he dealt with the atmosphere, he dealt with the

:57:42.:57:46.

loud music, he gave me his heart and soul today, and it makes me

:57:46.:57:51.

very proud of him, because at the end of the day, it is a living

:57:51.:57:55.

animal, which you have worked very hard to have a partnership with.

:57:55.:58:03.

When they fight for you like that, it means everything. You have got

:58:03.:58:08.

Charlotte Dujardin to come last - what are your chances for a gold?

:58:08.:58:15.

To be honest, I have no idea. I just hope that, touch wood, I would

:58:15.:58:20.

get to stand on the podium at the end. If anybody is to beat me,

:58:20.:58:25.

obviously, I wanted to be Charlotte, she has had such fantastic rides

:58:25.:58:28.

over the last few days. She has done a fantastic job with that

:58:28.:58:33.

horse. I do not wish anyone anything bad, but if anyone is

:58:33.:58:43.
:58:43.:58:50.

going to be above me, I hope it is with Parzival, the challenge from

:58:50.:58:54.

the Netherlands, and it is a strong one. She won the European

:58:54.:58:58.

championships last year, ahead of the British riders. She also won

:58:58.:59:04.

the World Cup Finals, with a brilliant performance. The horse

:59:04.:59:09.

has been off during the summer, he was brought into the team quite

:59:09.:59:14.

late because of health reasons - will he be at his best? If he is,

:59:14.:59:24.
:59:24.:59:39.

produce some fantastic work. The lovely music from the Nutcracker

:59:39.:59:49.
:59:49.:59:52.

Suite as well. The get tremendous height there, really bouncing. I

:59:52.:59:56.

think this is all going to be down to little mistakes and errors, in

:59:56.:00:06.
:00:06.:00:44.

little bit tight in his neck, unlike Uthopia. But this horse has

:00:44.:00:54.
:00:54.:01:10.

other highlights. Lovely extended two, they have had five years of

:01:10.:01:20.
:01:20.:01:50.

international experience competing rather big. -- that appear or

:01:50.:02:00.
:02:00.:02:00.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:02:00.:04:44.

music? Per fitly in time. -- Netherlands has done a great test.

:04:45.:04:52.

They are very, very happy. Well, now the marks are going to be very,

:04:52.:04:57.

very interesting. Let's put you in the picture again. Laura

:04:57.:05:07.
:05:07.:05:09.

Bechtolsheimer, on 84.339 per cent. Carl Hester for Britain with a

:05:09.:05:19.
:05:19.:05:21.

2.857. -- 82.857. Laura Bechtolsheimer, waiting to see the

:05:21.:05:25.

mark. She is the current leader. She will definitely win at a medal

:05:25.:05:32.

for Great Britain. Britain will definitely get a medal. What colour

:05:33.:05:37.

it will be remains in the balance, with one Test to come from

:05:37.:05:45.

Charlotte Dujardin. Yes, and what a fantastic performance she has given.

:05:45.:05:49.

If there is any ray of hope for the British it is that the horse

:05:49.:05:54.

sometimes comes behind the vertical, and is not always as good in the

:05:54.:05:58.

mouth as it might be. But no mistakes, she has not left anything

:05:58.:06:08.
:06:08.:06:08.

to chance. You see that appear wet from above, really amazing. -- that

:06:08.:06:18.
:06:18.:06:35.

won at its first ever dressage medal earlier in the week, it would

:06:35.:06:40.

be icing on the cake for British dressage if they could win another

:06:41.:06:47.

gold medal. It is not going to be easy, because this Dutch lady has

:06:47.:06:51.

done a very good test. Laura is looking to the scoreboard, waiting

:06:51.:06:58.

for the mark. These anxious moments, waiting for the results to go up.

:06:58.:07:08.
:07:08.:07:09.

It seems an age. Here it is, it is an enormous one. Now, Charlotte

:07:09.:07:14.

Dujardin has got to produce her own personal best. Laura will be a

:07:14.:07:18.

little disappointed. The best she can do is a bronze, with one to

:07:18.:07:26.

come. It is all in the hands of the last British rider. A Ricky a year

:07:26.:07:36.
:07:36.:07:38.

ago, going for gold, she has got to beat 88.25, she has done it, but to

:07:38.:07:44.

do it in her first final would be something else. Here comes

:07:44.:07:54.
:07:54.:08:01.

depending on what this lady does -- Laura could still get silver. She

:08:01.:08:06.

came to ride when she left school, she knows this wonderful young

:08:06.:08:12.

rider inside out. But then Charlotte went to Carl Hester, he

:08:12.:08:22.
:08:22.:08:22.

realised her potential, he put her on this lovely, lovely horse. None

:08:22.:08:28.

has Blewbury, he is only 10. They are partnership which Britain has

:08:28.:08:38.
:08:38.:08:38.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

there is ever a time to ride for your life, it is now, Charlotte.

:11:07.:11:17.
:11:17.:11:17.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:11:17.:13:14.

And she is doing it, she is doing months ago, this girl had not

:13:14.:13:21.

ridden at serious international level. Here she is, on the edge of

:13:31.:13:31.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:13:31.:15:09.

Perot wet, but came out just in bit more now. Well, what a

:15:09.:15:18.

performance, what a temperament. She has not come from a background

:15:18.:15:25.

that would put her with money to buy horses worthy of a title like

:15:25.:15:31.

the Olympic gold medallist, but sheer talent speaks volumes. It has

:15:31.:15:36.

been worked by the likes of Carl Hester, and here she is but a

:15:36.:15:41.

performance in which is in touching distance of a gold. She has got to

:15:41.:15:51.
:15:51.:16:05.

be the score of 88.196. -- beat the cheers knowing if she has one gold,

:16:05.:16:09.

or could it be this girl? She certainly has lived up to all the

:16:09.:16:16.

expectations. She got a 90% of British record in Gloucestershire,

:16:16.:16:24.

if she does that again, she could win the gold medal. Has she? She

:16:25.:16:34.
:16:35.:16:40.

has a very big score to beat, it is the back. It will be the crowd that

:16:40.:16:46.

tells her, I suspect, who has won. At the moment, Adelinde Cornelissen

:16:46.:16:56.

is in the lead. In third place at the moment, Helen Langehanenberg,

:16:56.:17:05.

with Damon Hill. This horse has lovely, correct work, but did not

:17:06.:17:15.
:17:16.:17:26.

have the power, and that one fallen absolutely silent. She has

:17:26.:17:36.
:17:36.:17:44.

done it! Charlotte Dujardin has iced the cake in style! What a

:17:45.:17:52.

performance! Britain wins gold and bronze in the last of the

:17:52.:17:59.

equestrian Olympic disciplines, the Individual Dressage! Well, that is

:17:59.:18:02.

something which is very special to be witnessing here this afternoon.

:18:02.:18:10.

And it must be so special for you. It is incredible. I did not think

:18:10.:18:15.

she had done enough. The great thing is that the judges have

:18:15.:18:20.

really rewarded this horse's correct training, and the harmony

:18:20.:18:27.

that they had together. There's the man who said, come and work for me,

:18:27.:18:33.

Charlotte. Oh, and why don't you try it on this lovely horse

:18:33.:18:41.

Valegro? And now, she is Olympic champion! This lady has got a story

:18:41.:18:49.

to tell! Richard Davidson, who has done so much for the sport. And

:18:50.:18:59.
:19:00.:19:00.

there is Mum. These are magical moments. There's the owner, and

:19:00.:19:03.

what an owner she has been. And one has to say, the lottery funding has

:19:03.:19:09.

also played a huge part, not just in the success of dressage, but

:19:09.:19:15.

indeed in all of the Olympic medals we have won, right back to the

:19:15.:19:23.

silver in eventing. The lottery has really shown what support can do.

:19:23.:19:27.

The world-class performance manager there, he has been so much part of

:19:27.:19:33.

putting the structure in behind the riders. He will have a big smile on

:19:33.:19:43.
:19:43.:19:44.

his face. You do not often see a smile on Will's face, but we have

:19:44.:19:53.

got one today. Charlotte has got such a temperament, a temperament

:19:53.:20:00.

which has brought her the gold medal! Charlotte Dujardin has won

:20:00.:20:10.
:20:10.:20:16.

Well, that's absolutely magical. She promised me she would not cry

:20:16.:20:22.

is she won gold. I am joined now by Charlotte's mother. She was

:20:22.:20:27.

phenomenal. Absolutely. The pressure was really on her. I am so

:20:27.:20:34.

proud, it is just unbelievable. is important to point out that

:20:34.:20:37.

you're not a family with jet loads of money, you have worked really

:20:37.:20:44.

hard to get to this point. Yes. We had a transition from show ponies

:20:44.:20:48.

to dressage, and we never had the financial backing. When my mum died,

:20:48.:20:51.

I was lucky enough to have some inheritance money, and I knew that

:20:51.:20:57.

I had to put that towards buying Charlotte a horse, and fortunately,

:20:57.:21:05.

she was able to make a donkey do anything. She made her first horse

:21:05.:21:10.

into a great horse. After that, thank goodness, I managed to get

:21:10.:21:17.

hold of Carl Hester, to put her in the right hands from then on in.

:21:17.:21:22.

Every parent wants lessons for their child, I just knew she needed

:21:22.:21:26.

a lucky break. She had the talent, but I never had the financial

:21:26.:21:31.

backing. So many times, you see children that cannot afford to go

:21:31.:21:36.

forward, and if you get a lucky break, which truly we had, it is

:21:36.:21:40.

just unbelievable. The British performance director has called her

:21:40.:21:45.

the ultimate Olympian, he says she is so focused, she does not see the

:21:45.:21:50.

razzmatazz of the Olympics - where does that come from? When we used

:21:50.:21:54.

to do showing, the big competitions, I used to tell her, it is just

:21:54.:21:59.

another show. So maybe it has just come from that grounding, who

:21:59.:22:07.

knows? She is a cool customer. team gold medal was incredible, and

:22:07.:22:10.

you and I had a conversation about how incredible it would be if

:22:10.:22:13.

Charlotte could win gold, but you must have been a bag of nerves.

:22:13.:22:18.

was. Everybody expects it, and that is the thing, when you know she can

:22:18.:22:23.

do it, as well as the combination of horse and rider, it is

:22:23.:22:30.

phenomenal. And what about the music? Yes, she did a pre- run of

:22:30.:22:34.

the test, with the music by Tom Hunter. We talk about doing

:22:34.:22:38.

something patriotic, because it was on home ground, and he did a

:22:38.:22:48.
:22:48.:22:53.

fantastic job. And so did your Isn't that lovely? Not the first

:22:53.:22:58.

proud mother we have seen at these Olympic Games. And this is what it

:22:58.:23:02.

means for the medal table. Those two medals have taken us up to the

:23:02.:23:12.

half-century. It is our 23rd gold medal. Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes - so

:23:12.:23:15.

many people across the country will think, dress size is not something

:23:15.:23:20.

which is open to me, but this shows it can be? I think that is really

:23:20.:23:25.

important. We saw the German rider earlier, but it is very hard to

:23:25.:23:30.

keep hold of these horses. Carl Hester, you have worked very hard

:23:30.:23:36.

to keep hold of Uthopia, as well as Valegro, you have managed to keep

:23:36.:23:40.

them in Britain... It has been emotional for us to keep the horses

:23:40.:23:47.

going. Anybody who works with horses will know that without the

:23:47.:23:56.

horse, we are nothing. To keep two horses at this peak, to finish in

:23:56.:23:59.

the top five at the Olympics, is very hard, it takes a lot of

:23:59.:24:04.

management. In the last few weeks, we have really had to cross our

:24:04.:24:08.

fingers. Every morning, you walk out into the yard and you think,

:24:08.:24:11.

please let them be all right this morning. You know that when you

:24:11.:24:17.

wake up as an athlete, or as a rider, you know how you feel, but

:24:17.:24:22.

the horse obviously cannot tell you. We have had so much back-up. Thank

:24:22.:24:27.

goodness for the lottery, and for the world-class team behind us.

:24:27.:24:30.

Because we treat them as super athletes, and I think they have

:24:31.:24:33.

repaid everybody with what they have done for Great Britain and for

:24:33.:24:39.

the team. You have done so much for British dressage, you were part of

:24:39.:24:42.

the gold medal-winning team earlier in the week, but it was

:24:42.:24:47.

disappointing for you not to get an individual medal today. It is not

:24:47.:24:51.

that disappointing, actually, because Charlotte is obviously my

:24:51.:24:58.

other half, so... Not literally, but my other half of my work side,

:24:58.:25:03.

we rely on each other. I always said that would give me a huge

:25:03.:25:08.

pleasure, and I always said that she was the gold-medallist. He is

:25:08.:25:11.

the best horse in the world, and Uthopia does not quite have what is

:25:11.:25:17.

needed on this last day, which is what happened to me today, I think,

:25:17.:25:22.

I just struggled a bit to keep his energy up. But Valegro is just the

:25:22.:25:28.

consummate professional. Well done, and if you're going to be beaten, I

:25:28.:25:35.

suppose, be beaten by the lady you have trained!

:25:35.:25:39.

Well done to Carl Hester, and huge congratulations to Charlotte

:25:39.:25:48.

Dujardin. Here she is, soaking up the applause. I must also say well

:25:48.:25:51.

done to Laura Bechtolsheimer, who picked up the bronze medal. We must

:25:51.:26:01.
:26:01.:26:02.

not forget her. It has been a remarkable Games for our Equestrian

:26:03.:26:09.

riders. Yes, it is an amazing story with Charlotte, the fact that she

:26:09.:26:13.

only competed in this style for the first time in January of last year,

:26:13.:26:17.

in the Grand Prix Freestyle. It is a meteoric rise. You have had a

:26:17.:26:22.

real mix of sport this afternoon. Yes, it is not often you go from

:26:22.:26:28.
