disappointing thing is that those horses dance better than me. Here's

:00:13.:00:18.

what we've got coming up over the next few hours. Nicola Adams will

:00:18.:00:26.

be going for gold in the boxing. Ireland will come to a standstill

:00:26.:00:30.

this afternoon, as Katie Taylor goes for gold in the women's

:00:30.:00:39.

Lightweight boxing final. And there will be plenty of thrills and

spills at the BMX track. Liam Phillips will be trying to book a

:00:43.:00:53.
:00:53.:00:58.

place in the semi-finals tomorrow. And we will be checking in on the

:00:58.:01:08.
:01:08.:01:30.

We will be following the two British athletes in action in the

:01:30.:01:34.

taekwondo. In the BMX, we will see if Liam Phillips can get through to

:01:56.:02:04.

ExCeL, but in another arena there, the taekwondo is taking place. J

Jones is just nine team, but she is up against an even younger opponent

:02:11.:02:19.

in the next round. Each bout consists of the rear two-minute

:02:19.:02:23.

rounds. Jade Jones is known as the head hunter, and we are about to

:02:23.:02:33.
:02:33.:02:44.

happy with the way things are going, comfortably ahead going into the

:02:44.:02:49.

final round. She has added great composure and concentration to her

:02:49.:02:58.

game. She is very good at covering. Hopefully you're going to see a

:02:58.:03:02.

little bit of composure here. But let's not discount the Japanese

:03:02.:03:06.

athlete, she still bears a threat. But the concern for her is that if

:03:06.:03:11.

she concedes many more points, should be counted out, if the gap

:03:11.:03:21.
:03:21.:03:44.

that kyong-go. It helps that you are fluent in Korean, John!

:03:44.:03:53.

helps! She has picked up another point!. She is picking off the

:03:53.:03:59.

Japanese athlete. Hamada knows she has got to keep coming forward, but

:03:59.:04:09.
:04:09.:04:30.

every time she does, she is getting with her right leg. 10 seconds to

Wales is finding itself a pocket- sized at battling heroin. Into the

She is through to the semi-finals, so close to the medals. She will be

facing the world No. 1 and top seed. We will be back for that at around

:05:13.:05:21.

5pm. Now we are going to go to the ExCel to see history made. The

:05:21.:05:28.

biggest of all stages, the Olympic stage, today Britain's Nicola Adams

:05:28.:05:32.

and Ireland's Katie Taylor are fighting for gold and glory. They

:05:32.:05:37.

began boxing before the sport was even sanctioned, but never gave up

:05:37.:05:41.

on their dreams. They are trailblazers for women's boxing,

:05:41.:05:49.

they really are. Clare, as far as Nicola Adams it is concerned, she

:05:49.:05:54.

is an amazing journey, lack of funding and a career-threatening

:05:54.:06:01.

injury. She fell down the stairs in 2009 and hurt a vertebra in a back,

:06:01.:06:06.

she couldn't even lift a glass of milk, she was living with her mum,

:06:06.:06:13.

to stop boxing. She go back on the road, she has worked as a builder,

:06:13.:06:17.

worked on various soap operas on TV, now she has lottery funding, she is

:06:17.:06:23.

here and has a great shot at a gold medal. What can you say about Katie

:06:23.:06:27.

Taylor? Half the crowd are bedecked in the Irish flags. A huge amount

:06:27.:06:32.

of support for the athlete regarded as Ireland's best hope of a gold

:06:32.:06:37.

medal at these Games. She carried the flag for them at the opening

:06:37.:06:41.

ceremony, she is the Irish, European and world champion. She

:06:41.:06:46.

has played Gaelic football and association football for Ireland.

:06:46.:06:56.
:06:56.:07:06.

the boxer wearing red, representing Ireland, Katie Taylor! Unbelievable,

:07:06.:07:10.

I don't know if the viewers can get the full appreciation of this

:07:10.:07:16.

atmosphere, but it is blistering. It is more like a football match.

:07:16.:07:26.
:07:26.:07:31.

This is a dream come true, to be Taylor! Her experience, her

:07:31.:07:36.

strength, her speed, shone through in that round. I feel like I'm in

:07:36.:07:41.

heaven at the moment. improvement she has made over a

:07:41.:07:46.

short period of time his immense. Katie Taylor, superb. Who would bet

:07:46.:07:56.
:07:56.:08:04.

With me here is Lucy O'Connor and Natasha Jonas. How important is

:08:04.:08:08.

Katy Did the sport of boxing? What she'd done for women in boxing?

:08:08.:08:12.

has been an ambassador for boxing far over 10 years, she is a

:08:12.:08:17.

consummate professional in the ring and outside, she is a four time

:08:17.:08:22.

world champion, and an absolute role-model for women's boxing and

:08:22.:08:27.

women's sport as a whole. You have fought against her, in the quarter-

:08:27.:08:32.

finals and what is she like to come up against? Shias the embodiment of

:08:32.:08:39.

the sport -- she is the embodiment of. She is quick, strong,

:08:39.:08:44.

everything you would want in a boxer. It was unfortunate I drew

:08:44.:08:52.

her, yes, she is just an absolute athlete. Is she unbeatable this

:08:52.:08:56.

evening, do you think? And for me personally, I have always said that

:08:56.:09:00.

Katie is the one to beat, she always has been and always will be

:09:00.:09:06.

for as long as she boxes. It is half in the back, but it is never

:09:06.:09:12.

easy in boxing, it only takes one thing to change everything. Among

the supporters, two very famous A cracking atmosphere ringside. Two

everything he just said. Ireland is going to get a gold today. What is

:09:41.:09:45.

the atmosphere like at home? A I am from the same town as her, and for

:09:45.:09:50.

the last few matches they have a big screens up in this -- in the

:09:50.:09:55.

square. The place has gone bananas for her, she is the biggest face in

:09:55.:09:59.

Ireland at the moment. Friends of mine are flying over from Dublin

:09:59.:10:03.

and they're saying there had been an atmosphere in Dublin like this

:10:03.:10:12.

since Italia 90. What will they do if she wins? They will go out and

:10:12.:10:18.

celebrate. There will be nobody here up for the third bout. If we

:10:18.:10:22.

win, a quick bash at the anthem and then we are gone, celebrating!

:10:22.:10:27.

you were playing this arena now, what a buyer as you would get?

:10:27.:10:34.

is fantastic, they would want us off quickly! They want to see what

:10:34.:10:44.
:10:44.:10:49.

they came to see. This will be 99% or Irish. Gentlemen, thank you very

:10:49.:10:59.
:10:59.:10:59.

much indeed. This should be a There will be a massive amount of

:10:59.:11:03.

support in here. It is just extraordinary, the excitement is

:11:03.:11:06.

building up, Ireland are hoping for their first goal but all of the

:11:06.:11:11.

Games. Let's talk about Nicola Adams of. What sort of a fighter

:11:11.:11:17.

she is. She has been a trailblazer for British women's boxing, she has

:11:17.:11:20.

been boxing fight over 10 years, but she has had to fight some

:11:20.:11:25.

adversity. She had a period earlier in her career when women's boxing

:11:25.:11:29.

was not allowed in this country, and had to overcome some terrible

:11:29.:11:34.

injuries, in the late part of 2009. So she really has such a mental

:11:34.:11:38.

strength to come through all this adversity to be here, at an Olympic

:11:38.:11:46.

final. What chance to you give her tonight? She has met Wren can-can -

:11:46.:11:54.

- ring can-can three times, she is a to settle for silver. Here, with

:11:54.:11:57.

all this at support of she thrives on that noise, she thrives on that

:11:57.:12:03.

the board. When you come inside here, it feels like it is midnight.

:12:03.:12:08.

We could be in Las Vegas, the music is blaring out. But three great

:12:09.:12:13.

boxing matches to look forward to. As far as Nicola Adams is concerned,

:12:13.:12:23.
:12:23.:12:30.

she has been speaking to us about Nicola Adams, 51 kilos, two times

:12:30.:12:37.

world medallist. I was 13 years old, I wasn't nervous at all. I couldn't

:12:37.:12:43.

wait to get in there. It all started off, Nicola coming to the

:12:43.:12:47.

gym with me. Was your intention to take her to a boxing session?

:12:47.:12:52.

no, I didn't realise they had boxing. They just went off and did

:12:52.:12:58.

their own thing. I knew she wouldn't get hurt, because they

:12:58.:13:02.

have the trainer's there. It was just something for children to do.

:13:02.:13:06.

At the end of the day, it was very expensive, the equipment, so it

:13:06.:13:12.

hasn't been easy. There was a time not long ago when it was nearly all

:13:12.:13:17.

over for you. I had a serious back injury, I was in bed for three

:13:17.:13:23.

months. I am such a get-up-and-go person, it was really frustrating.

:13:23.:13:29.

I couldn't train, that elections were going on, I went to not being

:13:29.:13:35.

able to do one set-up. Did you think this was it? A few times! The

:13:35.:13:40.

first time I started punching again, I just felt so slow, I was a bit

:13:40.:13:46.

overweight, I just saw everybody else in Team GB flying up and down,

:13:47.:13:53.

I thought, how my ever going to get back to how I was before? I was

:13:53.:13:59.

saying to my coach, am I ready? They were saying, yes, you can do

:13:59.:14:03.

this. She wants to become the Olympic champion, so what she does

:14:03.:14:10.

it is she works hard to do that. It is because of the likes of heard of

:14:10.:14:20.
:14:20.:14:23.

Do you believe you can beat Cancan Ren? She has beaten you twice.

:14:23.:14:31.

have done it once this year, I can do it again. 1000 registered in the

:14:31.:14:35.

last year, what do you think what happened after you win the gold?

:14:35.:14:41.

There will be millions! What we need to have our Olympic gold

:14:41.:14:50.

medal? I will give it a whole She has gone from no funding to

being based in Sheffield at the National Institute of Sport, that

:14:54.:14:57.

is where you are as well. What difference does it make to be

:14:57.:15:01.

trading with the men, to have the best facilities and the best

:15:01.:15:06.

coaches? Is it makes all the difference, and we have to thank

:15:06.:15:10.

the National Lottery for that. We are trading there, feeding off each

:15:10.:15:15.

other's success, we are all there with the one goal in mind, the

:15:15.:15:21.

Olympics. We have got the best of the best, which makes us a complete

:15:21.:15:26.

athlete. We saw Nicola's mum, it must be hugely important have a

:15:26.:15:30.

mother that is supportive and understanding of the sport of

:15:30.:15:36.

boxing? My mum will tell you, I was a bit of a tomboy growing up, and

:15:36.:15:40.

if I had chosen to be a ballerina or a gymnast she would have worried

:15:40.:15:45.

a bit more than she does with the boxing! She has always been behind

:15:45.:15:50.

me 100%. She does worry, because no parent like to see their child be

:15:50.:15:56.

hit. But she is behind me, she believes I'm good enough not to get

:15:56.:16:01.

hurt. She has always supported me, it makes a difference. Nicholas

:16:01.:16:06.

says that in 10 years she has never had a broken nose or a cut lip --

:16:06.:16:11.

Nicola. She says, I have a long arms, I try and stay out of trouble.

:16:11.:16:17.

She is built for it, isn't she? Back in Sheffield not long ago, we

:16:17.:16:23.

did a test at to see how long people's reach was the man she had

:16:23.:16:27.

a longer reach than I did. So she is fitter, stronger, faster than

:16:27.:16:33.

she has been all year. I think now is Nicola's time. She is going to

:16:33.:16:37.

come out here in front of a home crowd and do herself justice.

:16:37.:16:41.

Presumably when they come out to a noise like this, the adrenalin

:16:41.:16:47.

surge must be massive. Nothing hurts when the adrenalin is rushing.

:16:47.:16:52.

When I was against Katie Taylor, they have the record of the highest

:16:52.:16:57.

noise of the Games. Just to be part of that was absolutely brilliant.

:16:57.:17:01.

For it to be women's boxing that holds the record for noise level is

:17:01.:17:11.

unbelievable as well. So, our first fight will be run can count against

:17:11.:17:21.

Nicola Adams, -- Cancan Ren against a Nicola Adams. This is an historic

:17:21.:17:24.

afternoon. The first time that medals have been awarded at the

:17:24.:17:28.

Olympic Games for women's boxers. We will bring you thought

:17:28.:17:38.
:17:38.:17:52.

COMMENTATOR: We are on the cusp of a profoundly significant moment on

:17:52.:17:56.

the annals of a Olympic history. For the first time, women will

:17:56.:18:04.

compete in an Olympic boxing final here. And the boxers who have

:18:04.:18:11.

earned their place at this historic event with their skill, courage and

:18:11.:18:17.

dedication are from China and Great Britain. The capacity crowd here at

Cancan Ren. 5 ft 6 tall, 24 years of age. Just listen to the welcome

that will be afforded to the No. 2 seed, Nicola Adams, beaming from

:18:55.:19:00.

ear to ear as she approaches the Olympic boxing ring for this, the

:19:00.:19:05.

flyweight final. The gold medal bout, in front of an adoring home

:19:05.:19:13.

support. What a wonderful ovation she is receiving. That is almost

:19:13.:19:19.

tantamount to a rock concert! is just an incredible atmosphere

:19:19.:19:25.

here. Both boxers, stepping into the ring that is going to make

:19:25.:19:32.

history. Nicola Adams, enjoying every moment. She will not stop

world champion and world No. 1, Great Britain, Nicola Adams!

:20:22.:20:26.

RONALD MCINTOSH: The first women's boxing final in Olympic history is

:20:26.:20:31.

about to take place. So, here we go, the first of the scheduled four

:20:31.:20:38.

two-minute rounds, in the first ever women's Olympic boxing final.

:20:38.:20:48.
:20:48.:20:52.

This is in the 51 kg flyweight World Championship gold-medallist,

:20:52.:21:02.
:21:02.:21:04.

Ren Cancan. Her rival, representing Great Britain, Nicola Adams. Nicola,

:21:04.:21:10.

29 years of age, from Leeds. This is the biggest bout in both of

:21:10.:21:20.
:21:20.:21:20.

their competitive lives. Cancan has beaten Nicola Adams twice, in the

:21:20.:21:26.

last two World Championships. But Nicola has started extremely well

:21:26.:21:36.
:21:36.:21:41.

Cancan came in a tournament in Bulgaria earlier on this year. She

:21:41.:21:46.

won by a narrow margin, and this promises to be an equally

:21:46.:21:53.

competitive encounter, on the grandest stage of all. Good

:21:53.:21:58.

exchange of shots there, but it was Nicola who came off best. She had

:21:58.:22:03.

the last word. Adams has said that Cancan is the only boxer on earth

:22:03.:22:06.

who's capable of beating her, but she feels she has turned a corner

:22:06.:22:11.

mentally, and in terms of tactics and skill. She says she will not be

:22:11.:22:19.

denied on this historic occasion. The 10,000 strong crowd are willing

:22:19.:22:22.

her on to victory. It has been a great start, exactly what she

:22:22.:22:31.

needed to do. Cancan is a master of counter boxing. Nicola has to go

:22:31.:22:36.

first and third, which she is doing. It is an excellent start. The bell

:22:36.:22:40.

sounds to bring an end to the first round of boxing, and it is Nicola

:22:41.:22:50.
:22:51.:23:11.

with the progress of his boxer. JOSH LEWSEY: I do not blame him,

:23:11.:23:21.
:23:21.:23:57.

Nicola has been throwing some This is a rematch of the World

:23:57.:24:00.

Championship final from last year, and Nicola Adams has come out

:24:00.:24:07.

absolutely blazing. Amazing boxing here by Adams. Cancan, just

:24:07.:24:11.

struggling to work out the speed and the combinations. Beautiful

:24:11.:24:16.

left jab again from Adams. The noise level continues to rise here

:24:16.:24:20.

at the ExCel Arena in the London Docklands. It has been a sell-out

:24:20.:24:24.

crowd for every single session of boxing, and this is the 24th

:24:24.:24:30.

session, an historic day, the first time ever that women are competing

:24:30.:24:36.

in the boxing at the Olympic Games. And this is a gold medal bout. What

:24:36.:24:42.

a stunning right cross from Nicola Adams! What an amazing shot. If

:24:42.:24:46.

that has not caught the eye of the judges, I do not know what will.

:24:46.:24:51.

That's beautiful! Cancan has gone to the canvas! That was a

:24:52.:24:55.

legitimate knock-down, the count will be issued. Remember, in

:24:55.:24:59.

Olympic boxing, it is only one point. As we approach the closing

:24:59.:25:03.

30 seconds of this second-round, with the momentum very much in

:25:03.:25:08.

favour of Nicola Adams. She is the boxer in the ascendancy. If she can

:25:08.:25:14.

retain her concentration, Ren Cancan, the reigning world number 1

:25:14.:25:17.

and world champion, will have a significant deficit to try to claw

:25:17.:25:27.
:25:27.:25:30.

back in the final two rounds. Good single right from Adams. She cannot

:25:30.:25:34.

afford to get as excited as we are. She has got to keep our discipline,

:25:34.:25:38.

keep her hands high, not give away any silly shots. This is a

:25:38.:25:43.

brilliant performance from Adams. As the bell sounds to bring the end

:25:43.:25:50.

of round two, Nicola Adams has extended her advantage. It now

:25:50.:26:00.
:26:00.:26:01.

stands at five. Plenty of time. Great stuff, great stuff. Level

:26:01.:26:09.

three up. This was the flurry at the beginning of the round, my

:26:09.:26:17.

goodness! Repeated, solid straight shots, snapping back the head of

:26:17.:26:24.

her opponent. Beautiful right hand. Steps back, and comes in with a

:26:24.:26:34.
:26:34.:26:44.

beautiful one-two. Unbelievable. What a great shot. The RONALD

:26:44.:26:53.

MCINTOSH: So, the top two boxers in the world at 51km step into the

:26:53.:26:57.

ring once again. And once again, it has been a great

:26:57.:27:01.

start to the round from Nicola Adams, wearing blue. She temporary

:27:01.:27:04.

lost her balance, but she is scoring effectively off the back

:27:04.:27:12.

foot. Ren Cancan needs to change our tactics, trailing by five with

:27:12.:27:16.

just two rounds of boxing to go. She is noticeably more aggressive,

:27:16.:27:20.

attempting to get onto the front foot, to take the contest to Adams,

:27:20.:27:24.

who's continuing to boxed beautifully, able to measure the

:27:24.:27:29.

distance with that left jab. Yes, Cancan is still very much a danger

:27:29.:27:34.

woman, however. You can see her hand speed. Adams needs to keep our

:27:34.:27:37.

discipline, and just kick-boxing the way she has been doing. It is

:27:37.:27:43.

beautiful. Adams is also a master of the counter boxing. Both of

:27:44.:27:53.

these boxers received byes in the opening round, by virtue of their

:27:54.:28:02.

seeding. In the two bouts they have each had since, they have been

:28:02.:28:07.

masterful, winning without getting out of second gear. But with the

:28:07.:28:11.

Olympic gold medal at stake, both of them have brought their a game,

:28:11.:28:15.

they have both prepared diligently, there can be no excuses, and both

:28:15.:28:20.

are executing at the very top of their game, but it is Adams who has

:28:20.:28:23.

a significant advantage as we come towards the final 30 seconds of the

:28:23.:28:27.

third round. Adams knows that she is building up an even bigger lead.

:28:27.:28:36.

You can see her tactics changing. Just a little bit scrappy there.

:28:36.:28:41.

Shuffling left and right, just to keep out of the way. Adams

:28:41.:28:50.

countering beautifully there. Cancan in danger of walking onto

:28:50.:28:54.

shots, as she attempts to pursue Adams. And the lead has extended

:28:54.:29:04.
:29:04.:29:04.

even further! It is now up to nine points! Well, can we believe it?

:29:04.:29:11.

Let's just listen to the corner... Can we believe that Nicola Adams is

:29:11.:29:16.

boxing the former world champion, beating her 14-5? Yes, we can,

:29:16.:29:21.

because we have seen some tremendous flurries by Adams. This

:29:21.:29:26.

was a beautiful right hand, and Cancan is just punching the air,

:29:26.:29:36.
:29:36.:29:53.

As we move into the fourth and final round of this women's 51km

:29:53.:29:57.

flyweight final, only two minutes stands between Nicola Adams,

:29:57.:30:06.

wearing blue, and the Olympic immortality. She is leading the

:30:06.:30:10.

reigning World Championship gold- medallist, Ren Cancan of China, by

:30:10.:30:20.
:30:20.:30:23.

14-5. Unless Ren Cancan can bring about a punch to bring about a

:30:23.:30:27.

finish and take Adams down to the canvas, one would suspect that

:30:27.:30:31.

Nicola Adams is on her way to Olympic gold. Concentration will be

:30:31.:30:35.

absolutely crucial for Adams. She does not want to let the occasion

:30:35.:30:39.

get to her, she will have to stay in the moment. She landed a good

:30:39.:30:42.

left hook at close quarters there. She will not want to be thinking

:30:42.:30:47.

about the outcome. Her focus must remain absolute on the task in hand.

:30:47.:30:52.

This is absolutely admirable discipline, which Adams is

:30:52.:30:56.

demonstrating now. She knows she has got a comfortable lead, but she

:30:56.:31:00.

is maintaining a very tight guard, picking her shots. That was a

:31:00.:31:04.

really good right hand once again. She is not being complacent, she is

:31:04.:31:08.

keeping her hands nice and high, she knows that Ren Cancan remains a

:31:08.:31:15.

danger, right to the last bell. Nicola Adams began boxing at the

:31:15.:31:20.

age of 12. She struggled to find opponents, it was her mother who

:31:20.:31:24.

took her down to an after-school club in Leeds, and while her mother

:31:24.:31:28.

was doing aerobics, Nicola Adams was getting inside a boxing ring

:31:28.:31:33.

and trying it out. It was there that her other-worldly talent was

:31:33.:31:40.

first discovered. Here she is now, on the cusp of becoming the first

:31:40.:31:44.

ever Olympic woman boxer. Just seconds away, and the crowd begin

:31:44.:31:54.

to count it down by clapping their hands and stomping their feet! The

Ali Be shuffle from Adams, and as the closing bell sounds, she

:31:58.:32:05.

produces a fast Lorig, to underline her superiority! And now, the

:32:05.:32:13.

celebrations begin in earnest, because there is no doubt in the

:32:13.:32:16.

Great Britain corner that Nicola Adams has just made history, by

title. Her coach congratulating his charge, and didn't she boxed

:32:31.:32:37.

brilliantly, from first to last? Three contests these two had fought

:32:37.:32:43.

previously, and it was Ren Cancan who held the advantage, including

:32:43.:32:46.

the last two World Championships. But that did not make a blind bit

:32:46.:32:51.

of difference, Adams came good when it mattered most, and surely this

:32:51.:33:01.
:33:01.:33:05.

announcement is about to crown her Ladies and gentlemen, the winner,

:33:05.:33:15.
:33:15.:33:16.

by a score of 16-7, and the Olympic champion, in the blue corner,

:33:16.:33:22.

representing Great Britain, Nicola Adams!

:33:22.:33:27.

Nicola Adams of Great Britain has just made sporting history! She is

:33:27.:33:32.

the first Olympic boxing champion in history in the women's

:33:32.:33:40.

tournament! And it is sheer delight for the 29-year-old from Leeds, who

:33:40.:33:43.

has conquered the boxer who was previously her nemesis. She

:33:43.:33:48.

produced a commanding display, from first round to last, and what a

:33:48.:33:53.

place to do it, what a stage on which to do it, in this magnificent

:33:53.:33:56.

amphitheatre of boxing. Nicola Adams is the Olympic champion! When

:33:56.:34:01.

she began boxing at the age of 12, the possibility of emulating her

:34:01.:34:04.

Olympic heroes Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali were but a distant

:34:04.:34:14.
:34:14.:34:15.

dream. But now, not only is it a reality, she has just, over four

:34:15.:34:19.

two-minute rounds, guaranteed herself a place in a Olympic

:34:19.:34:26.

sporting history as the greatest Olympic female boxer in history.

:34:26.:34:34.

Well done, Nicola Adams! Olympic champion, many

:34:34.:34:42.

:34:43.:34:48.

the Ali shuffle. Cassius Clay rose to prominence in the Olympic ring,

of course, in 1960, and what an inspiration he has proved to be

employing the holding tactics too obviously. She may be subject to a

caution. And for the first time, the No. 1 seed, Katie Taylor, is

trailing at the end of the second round. The score is a 4-3 in favour

Furious instructions in both corners there. Katie is just

four rounds, and perhaps the magnitude of the achievement is

just beginning to sink in. Katie Taylor, the four-time world

champion, five-time European champion, dances with delight,

responded, as champions do, by digging deep and finding something

extra, adapting her tactics and strategy. But we should make note

:53:54.:54:04.

of Sofia Ochigava who provided a wonderful contest. But Katie Taylor,

what a moment for her. And you suspect that this accomplishment

That is why she's taking her time, and she is right to do so. She has

:02:52.:02:58.

I will try and have a bit of that! It has been the body work from the

:02:58.:03:01.

Chinese Taipei athlete. A good response from Jade Jones as she

Jones's life. If he can be a good one, she will be an Olympic

:03:26.:03:30.

finalist at the end of it. Only a point behind, but she is playing

:03:30.:03:40.
:03:40.:03:41.

the best in the world. Again, using the front leg to do the back kick.

:03:41.:03:51.

Banshee is level! -- and she is Jones was two points down, but now

Jones, for the first time, changing the dynamic and trying to go for

:04:12.:04:20.

the head shot. To just over one minutes to go. This is a time for

:04:20.:04:30.
:04:30.:04:35.

As soon as the referee called them back, she was back to work. But

:04:35.:04:39.

Jones was very, very close. In fact, the chair umpires have raised a

:04:39.:04:46.

hand. Was that a 0.4 Jones? Were they looking at something her

:04:46.:04:50.

opponent did? And Paul Green comes in with his little red card which

:04:50.:04:54.

will get the video officials having a look at perhaps what the chair

:04:54.:05:04.
:05:04.:05:13.

a red card could be very bad news. In taekwondo, it could be very good

:05:13.:05:23.
:05:23.:05:28.

news. Jones reacted instantly. That was a flick to the chain. She felt

:05:28.:05:35.

she had got it. There is a replay of that being shown inside the

:05:35.:05:45.

arena as well. Rarely has so much depended on three men looking at a

:05:45.:05:49.

computer screen. There is a question as to whether she was

:05:49.:05:55.

close enough Fen or if it fell short. It is going to be a matter

:05:56.:06:05.
:06:06.:06:06.

of millimetres. Memories inevitably drawn back to what happened to

:06:06.:06:10.

Sarah Stevenson in Beijing four years ago when she missed out and

:06:10.:06:19.

it was eventually brought back in. The officials are looking to see if

:06:19.:06:24.

there is a tiny bit of Jade Jones' effort which caught the face of Li-

:06:24.:06:32.

Cheng. The decision is that there was not. It is more than that, they

:06:32.:06:42.
:06:42.:06:43.

have given the 0.2 Li-Cheng. It is level-pegging. Jade Jones is a head

:06:43.:06:49.

for the first time. Now it is time to clear the head and mount the

:06:49.:06:59.
:06:59.:07:02.

Defence says. It is 5-34 Jade Jones. 15 seconds to go. Jade Jones from

:07:02.:07:06.

North Wales on the brink of an Olympic final, but now it is time

:07:06.:07:10.

for the blue card to be brought in and this means that the Chinese

:07:10.:07:16.

coach thinks she has seen something that might work in Li-Cheng's

:07:16.:07:26.
:07:26.:07:31.

favour. There has been so much going on. Jade Jones has sneaked

:07:31.:07:36.

ahead at 5-3. Let's see what the trio of adjudicators will come up

:07:36.:07:43.

with. You are behind with 15 seconds to go, you might as well

:07:43.:07:53.

play your hand and see if anything comes of it. That was a push, just

:07:53.:08:00.

touching the mouth. That could change the dynamic of this match.

:08:00.:08:07.

will be behind because a kick to the head is worth three points and

:08:14.:08:24.

these video cards are. If you play them in the right way, you can

:08:24.:08:30.

change the course of a match. Jones is ahead and she is three

:08:30.:08:40.
:08:40.:08:41.

points ahead. Li-Cheng has lost her head completely. As she charged end,

:08:41.:08:47.

Jade Jones knocked it off. Time for a little foot of sand which at

:08:47.:08:56.

teatime. She has done it. She is an Olympic finalist. She has got her

:08:56.:09:06.

eye on silver or gold. If there has been a final moment in the history

:09:06.:09:13.

of taekwondo in this country, none of us have ever seen it. What a

:09:13.:09:17.

little treasure Jade Jones from Wales is. She is guaranteed a

:09:17.:09:21.

silver or a cold and that will be the best ever performance by a

:09:22.:09:27.

Briton at an Olympic Games. found this part and the shot that

:09:27.:09:32.

was needed and went straight upstairs when it was required.

:09:33.:09:38.

Forget about the controversy of the video replay. She maintained her

:09:38.:09:46.

composure and she changed the game. The most difficult skill in

:09:46.:09:52.

taekwondo is to go upstairs and get the three-point shot. The attempted

:09:52.:10:01.

reverse of Li-Cheng just missing. We should soon see the head shot.

:10:01.:10:11.
:10:11.:10:13.

That was it. Right across the eyeball and into the semi-final.

:10:13.:10:17.

he was pacing outside, he can now come back in because his daughter

:10:27.:10:48.

get here, and it was small businesses in her home town of Lent

:10:48.:10:55.

that helped her get here. She could end up with a gold tonight. She has

:10:55.:11:01.

put out the favourite and is into the final. That is at 10:15pm

:11:01.:11:07.

tonight. But another Brit is about to enter the arena, Martin Stamper.

:11:07.:11:12.

It was heartbreak for him in Beijing four years ago when a knee

:11:12.:11:17.

injury kept him out. This is his first Olympics and he is through to

:11:17.:11:21.

the semi-final, but he is up against the favourite to take the

:11:21.:11:31.
:11:31.:11:34.

title. The bronze medallist from Beijing and the reigning world

:11:34.:11:41.

champion, double European champion. He is facing a 25 year-old

:11:41.:11:49.

Liverpudlian, Martin Stamper. He is on a bit of a role himself. He had

:11:50.:11:54.

a great year, bronze at the end of the European Championships held in

:11:54.:11:59.

Manchester in May. It is perhaps an indication of how his expectations

:11:59.:12:05.

have risen is the bronze was not what he was looking for. No, he was

:12:05.:12:15.

on track for a gold. He was up against this man in the world

:12:15.:12:20.

championship semi-final, but he was on the end of a bit of a beating

:12:20.:12:27.

because this young man turned it on. But he has beaten him and it is a

:12:27.:12:32.

one apiece for these two fighters. If there was ever a time before

:12:32.:12:42.
:12:42.:12:46.

Martin to turn it on, it has got to be today. The Turk is looking for

:12:46.:12:50.

what would be the crowning achievement of his career. He has

:12:50.:12:57.

got every medal there is apart from this one. It is a sport full of

:12:57.:13:06.

ritual. It befits its 2000 year history. It is time to put the

:13:06.:13:16.
:13:16.:13:18.

crash helmets on before they try and knock each other's block off.

:13:18.:13:28.
:13:28.:13:29.

The Olympic semi-final. In the Blue is a Turk, and in the red is a

:13:29.:13:39.
:13:39.:14:12.

They are continuing to size each other up, to work out how close

:14:12.:14:19.

they can get. It is interesting to note the stance both have chosen

:14:19.:14:27.

here, and open stance, offering the front of the body it. Martin knows

:14:27.:14:33.

that his opponent's back kick is the most dangerous shot. He has got

:14:33.:14:43.
:14:43.:15:03.

three points for connecting with by this man. That is an indication

:15:03.:15:13.
:15:13.:15:14.

of what he is trying to overturn. He took his European Championship

:15:14.:15:23.

in Manchester and he barely broke sweat, the Turk. Martin Stamper has

:15:23.:15:29.

the agility and the quickness, but he has to be very careful. If you

:15:29.:15:36.

rush in taekwondo, you never get the chance to do it again. That has

:15:36.:15:41.

been a very challenging first round for Martin Stamper. He is showing

:15:41.:15:48.

why he is just one of the greatest exponents of this sport. It is a

:15:48.:15:51.

bit like Murray and Federer. You are looking at one of the best

:15:51.:15:56.

athletes in his sport. Martin Stamper is a young athlete, up and

:15:56.:16:01.

coming. But he has not done anything wrong, other than drop his

:16:01.:16:10.

guard on a couple of occasions. That was a jumping shot kick.

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

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:16:20.:17:01.

Perfectly executed. Balletic skill. time. And his confidence is up. He

:17:01.:17:07.

has to remind his opponent that he is in a fight. He has to stamp his

:17:07.:17:17.
:17:17.:17:29.

is also about the blocking. They are really busy, trying to fend off

:17:29.:17:34.

the attacks. That would have been a two-point shot because of the

:17:34.:17:44.
:17:44.:17:44.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:17:44.:18:43.

it, but such is the sport's that opponent in for the reverse kick.

:18:43.:18:50.

But the Turk is so languid and free and loose in his movement. Apart

:18:50.:18:54.

from his athletic aerial ability, he has the ability to change the

:18:54.:19:04.

angles. It is ballroom dancing with menace, isn't it? Strictly with a

:19:04.:19:14.
:19:14.:19:17.

little bit of pain attached to the end of the foot. That is how

:19:17.:19:22.

exhausted he is. We have talked about the unique conditions in the

:19:22.:19:26.

Excel Arena. The lights are much brighter than you would get when

:19:26.:19:36.

you are travelling around the world. It has taken it out of the fighters.

:19:36.:19:40.

It was an early start this morning, not long after 9 o'clock this

:19:40.:19:47.

morning. If you want to win a gold medal, you will still be clocking

:19:47.:19:53.

on at around 11 o'clock. They put the shifts in. The reward at the

:19:53.:20:02.

end of it is about as great as you Martin Stamper is back in the next

:20:02.:20:07.

year in what could be the final period. Starting again quickly, a

:20:07.:20:12.

quick return shot from Martin Stamper and he is back in this.

:20:12.:20:22.

There is the head shot. What Stamper has to be careful about is

:20:22.:20:28.

going to the floor deliberately to avoid those. It is the tumbling

:20:28.:20:31.

tuck, and he gets one for falling over, but in the flailing of the

:20:31.:20:37.

limbs are there was a head shot. At least, an appeal for one. That is

:20:37.:20:43.

what the Turkish coach thinks, so the blue card comes out, brandished

:20:43.:20:53.

with a flourish, a little pomp and Did he keep him in the head, he

:20:53.:20:58.

whispers to his friend. Singaporean at the video referee

:20:58.:21:08.

there. There is so much that is regal about trying to find out if

:21:08.:21:18.
:21:18.:21:31.

something pretty base and brutal. From our point to other view, it

:21:31.:21:38.

looks all right. They crossed arms show the appeal is unsuccessful.

:21:38.:21:42.

There will be no more appeals from him. The referee has pocketed the

:21:42.:21:52.
:21:52.:21:53.

Martin Stamper is two points behind. He has given himself a bit of a

:21:53.:22:01.

lifeline. Stamper in the red, and he is up to within a point! He is

:22:01.:22:08.

slipping and sliding his way back into the match. The Turkish fighter

:22:08.:22:12.

spinning to the body, and that is a double. Shott, giving him the

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

three-point advantage. So, not just He has to go for the head to pull

:22:34.:22:39.

himself back into this. Not yet at the moment, but if the Turkish

:22:39.:22:48.

fighter scores again, it will be desperation time. It is the side

:22:48.:22:58.
:22:58.:23:06.

Martin Stamper needs a head shot. He gets himself back on the board,

:23:06.:23:11.

and he is mastering the movement like a matador. If Martin Stamper

:23:11.:23:21.
:23:21.:23:26.

can get a spinning head shot in, he will snatch the lead. Martin

:23:26.:23:30.

Stamper is strictly speaking not allowed to do that. He will get a

:23:30.:23:38.

penalty, but he is inviting Stephen Jennings to play the red card and

:23:38.:23:41.

have a look at the video replay. He is prepared to pay the price for

:23:41.:23:48.

the penalty if he thinks he cannot lead that to anything more. He is

:23:48.:23:52.

asking for an extra point for pushing Martin Stamper to the floor.

:23:52.:23:57.

He is alleged to have pushed the British fighter to the ground, but

:23:57.:24:01.

also a tactical blow for Martin Stamper because he will get his

:24:01.:24:06.

breath back. You mention the emotional and physical tests, and

:24:06.:24:11.

this video replay confabs will allow him to rethink his tactics.

:24:11.:24:14.

It is interesting how the review system has been used tactically,

:24:14.:24:20.

especially towards the end of the big fights. Core no question about

:24:20.:24:27.

it, tactics and timing and it looks finely poised. The Turkish fighter

:24:27.:24:34.

a good value for the lead, but he's still in it, a Stamper. That

:24:34.:24:39.

particular review has been turned down. So, both fighters have lost

:24:39.:24:45.

the ability to ask for a review. Five seconds to go and Stamper has

:24:45.:24:53.

to do something extraordinary, and he was very close to it. But the

:24:53.:24:57.

world's best will fight to be the Olympic best. Martin Stamper will

:24:57.:25:02.

still get the opportunity, however, to go for the Olympic bronze via

:25:02.:25:12.
:25:12.:25:16.

the repechage. He will be in the It was always going to be a tough

:25:16.:25:19.

one for Martin Stamper, but still the chance of a bronze medal. He

:25:19.:25:24.

will be back for that later on. We mentioned Jade Jones, and we will

:25:24.:25:33.

be back to see she can win the gold. The town of flint has played a big

:25:33.:25:37.

part in helping her achieve her dreams and you will be tuning in at

:25:37.:25:41.

10:15pm. You can see the crowds at the Olympic park and they are

:25:41.:25:46.

heading off to the stadium because we have the Bolt factor. He is up

:25:46.:25:50.

against Yohan Blake in the 200 metres final, so we will see if he

:25:50.:25:56.

can do another historic double. That is later on, and we are moving

:25:56.:26:03.

on. One word describes the cash will bike ride is due from the top

:26:03.:26:07.

of the three meet a ramp, but this is the start of a roller coaster by

:26:07.:26:10.

crime that delivers numerous crashes. It is a rough and tumble

:26:10.:26:13.

sport and one of the must watch events of the Games. Today it is

:26:13.:26:23.
:26:23.:26:24.

the men's quarter-final swift eight riders. Liam Phillips goes first.

:26:24.:26:27.

After three runs, the top two riders, those with the lowest

:26:27.:26:32.

scores go through to the semi-final. The remaining riders continue after

:26:32.:26:37.

that. Liam but finished second after his first two runs and we can

:26:37.:26:47.
:26:47.:26:48.

the spot in the semi-final. A good finish will put them straight into

:26:48.:26:55.

the semis. The Latvian looking good, but van der Biezen has a real him

:26:55.:27:05.

back. A bad crash from Marc Willers. Pickard is not getting up quickly

:27:05.:27:11.

there. Van der Biezen out in front, although he is undoubtedly claiming

:27:11.:27:21.
:27:21.:27:26.

his spot in the semi-final. A great him, he really wanted that and

:27:26.:27:36.
:27:36.:27:41.

needed it after the first run crash. Therkildsen 5th has got up there,

:27:41.:27:46.

because he has kept his nose clean in every race. This format is all

:27:46.:27:51.

about consistency. And I do not know what happened to him under the

:27:51.:27:55.

step up and stepped down. That was a bad accident. He's just getting

:27:55.:28:05.
:28:05.:28:06.

picked up now. Hopefully he is OK. Getting carried off the track.

:28:06.:28:16.
:28:16.:28:16.

Pickard has the door closed on him. Raymon van der Biezen is away. They

:28:16.:28:20.

did not actually crashing to each other, or maybe they did on the

:28:20.:28:25.

take-off, but they were not going to make that. Both of them catching

:28:25.:28:28.

the knuckle, almost like synchronised falling. This is a

:28:28.:28:34.

fantastic shot. You should not laugh, but it is great television.

:28:34.:28:44.

All of these guys accept the risk. I reckon he took a mouthful out the

:28:44.:28:54.
:28:54.:29:00.

back of that last jump. Treimainis, what a story. He has fought his way

:29:00.:29:05.

back in and will advance into the semi-final. So, Vanda Venus -- van

:29:05.:29:09.

der Biezen, you can take a rest. You can see the pressure they are

:29:09.:29:16.

under, because the numbers after three rides, second place, 12.,

:29:16.:29:26.
:29:26.:29:40.

that is extremely high. -- 12 took out Hyhaug. Baier also taken

:29:40.:29:50.
:29:50.:29:52.

out. Moo Caille. A all of these guys know they will be in it for

:29:52.:30:00.

the long haul. Liam Phillips and Connor Fields have had some

:30:00.:30:04.

fantastic runs. Interesting that Liam Phillips got picked up the

:30:04.:30:09.

post and has been pushed down just one lane. That will not bother him.

:30:09.:30:13.

He has been in number three at least once or twice. He will be

:30:13.:30:17.

more than confident in that position. But will we see the same

:30:17.:30:25.

thing? Liam Phillips and Connor Fields taking the race. Liam

:30:25.:30:31.

Phillips has an incredible start, and again he get sick. Liam

:30:31.:30:35.

Phillips and Connor Fields battling out for the first line. Staying

:30:35.:30:38.

higher and clean, both of the riders. Traffic building up for

:30:38.:30:47.

third place. Tory has done well to put himself in 5th. Connor Fields

:30:47.:30:52.

cleaning his wheels as he comes into the third straight. Liam

:30:52.:30:59.

Phillips as the Latvian rider on his tail, but he has done well.

:30:59.:31:04.

Liam Phillips clinging on to second, and that is a guaranteed semi-final

:31:04.:31:10.

place for Connor Fields and Liam Phillips there. A brilliant ride by

:31:10.:31:14.

Liam and Connor Fields. They are both going to be chuffed with that.

:31:14.:31:17.

They both seem to have found their stride well and are confident. Liam

:31:17.:31:22.

Phillips has had three astonishing starts which has put him through to

:31:22.:31:26.

the semi-finals. Connor Fields starting to get better. You can see

:31:26.:31:34.

the strength, just able to pick up Liam into the first term. He seems

:31:34.:31:37.

happy to slot in behind him, he will accept that he is not coming

:31:37.:31:41.

after him now and will take the semi-final position. In that final,

:31:41.:31:45.

if you get a good start, you will cut the opponents up and come

:31:45.:31:49.

across, that is what you do. Establish your position in the

:31:49.:31:53.

front of the race. From the inside you push to the middle, close the

:31:53.:31:57.

door and look for the first line through the corner. He s, make it

:31:57.:32:01.

hard for the others behind you. Nice to see all the eight riders

:32:01.:32:07.

finish. We have had some huge pile ups, and it feels like everyone has

:32:07.:32:11.

now settled down a bit and got into the racing. Confirmation of the

:32:11.:32:21.
:32:21.:32:44.

but how different will they be in a minutes' time? Again, we have two

:32:44.:32:48.

riders with very low point. Marc Willers is only on three, and Joris

:32:48.:32:58.
:32:58.:33:05.

and Joris Daudet. Pizarro has struggled a bit. The Americans,

:33:05.:33:10.

they are the interesting prospects, Herman and Long. Taken out in the

:33:10.:33:13.

huge pile up in the first run. Found their way back into the

:33:13.:33:16.

middle of the field and I don't think they stand a chance of making

:33:16.:33:22.

the semi-finals in this third round. But they have to get a good run if

:33:22.:33:28.

they want to challenge for the top two after five runs. Marc Willers,

:33:28.:33:32.

he has done very well, and Joris Daudet. Interesting that Marc

:33:32.:33:39.

Willers has opted for that. Actually, I'm sorry, Joris Daudet

:33:39.:33:49.
:33:49.:33:50.

won the last one, which is why he This is where he is strong -- Marc

:33:50.:33:55.

Willers. He has fantastic tactics to close the door. What can Joris

:33:55.:34:00.

Daudet do? The Americans doing well. Long in third. A little clip, that

:34:00.:34:07.

won't be good. So, Marc Willers looking very good, Joris Daudet on

:34:07.:34:14.

the inside, but a clean line for Marc Willers in the third straight.

:34:14.:34:18.

Herman coming up, and he will look for the inside line. A very

:34:18.:34:24.

important corner for Herman, but he clipped the second one. It is Long

:34:24.:34:30.

and Herman battling into the finish. It looked like Herman and Long had

:34:30.:34:39.

a tie on the line. Extremely close. I very good race. The Swiss rider

:34:39.:34:44.

able to hang with the young kids. The senior citizen hanging with the

:34:44.:34:47.

young kids. We talked about how many injuries you sustain and how

:34:47.:34:51.

unflinching you have to have in terms of confidence but we have a

:34:51.:35:01.
:35:01.:35:08.

31-year-old keeping up with the qualified. Great right from him. He

:35:08.:35:13.

showed remarkable presence. He kept the door has closed all the way

:35:13.:35:20.

through and rode the finish straight all the way through.

:35:20.:35:25.

Herman was just unfortunate. He was able to claw his way back into a

:35:25.:35:31.

good position, but he had a slight wobble down the 4th straight and it

:35:31.:35:41.
:35:41.:36:03.

start Hill. I know we have petrified a lot of kids away from

:36:03.:36:09.

the sport at this stage. You do not start on a course like this.

:36:09.:36:15.

would not take my kids to this type of circuit. There are plenty of

:36:15.:36:25.
:36:25.:36:36.

tracks out there and that are a reigning Olympic champion doing in

:36:36.:36:46.
:36:46.:37:10.

that gate? A lot of work for him to think Samuela be is one of the

:37:10.:37:16.

riders we are going to see up there. Absolutely, we just need to see a

:37:16.:37:26.
:37:26.:37:39.

little bit more consistency. Maris Strombergs, that is Olympic class.

:37:39.:37:45.

That is the Colombian just tucked in behind him. Then it is Sam it

:37:45.:37:55.
:37:55.:38:04.

for a Maris Strombergs and he needed that desperately. Yes, that

:38:04.:38:10.

was a good show of his talent level. That was a fantastic ride. He got

:38:10.:38:15.

the start he needed and was able to use his horse power and pull

:38:15.:38:20.

himself into that first-term first. I am sure that will instil him with

:38:20.:38:30.
:38:30.:38:45.

Look at that commitment from Maris Strombergs. To make that move you

:38:45.:38:55.

have got to be sure. This guy is a very skilled athlete. Still well

:38:55.:39:00.

within his comfort zone, I think. Just finding his rhythm and

:39:00.:39:06.

building his confidence. He knew how much speed the others were

:39:06.:39:12.

carrying and he was on the outside of that course. He loves stay out

:39:12.:39:16.

of trouble and getting a good clean start on the outside and then

:39:16.:39:22.

cutting in. He starts have not been good today, but he turned it around

:39:22.:39:32.
:39:32.:40:01.

both got eight points, but Maris Strombergs beat him on the last

:40:01.:40:11.

heat, so he will take that second spot. I think Sam knows that as

:40:11.:40:18.

long as he keeps his nose clean, he should be fine in the next races.

:40:18.:40:22.

These are the ones who are transferred automatically into the

:40:22.:40:32.
:40:32.:40:34.

Well done to Ian Phillips. He will be competing tomorrow along with

:40:34.:40:39.

Shanaze Reade. We are now going to head back to the Excel Arena

:40:39.:40:44.

because earlier this afternoon Nicola Adams made history by

:40:44.:40:47.

winning the first women's boxing gold medal at the Olympic Games.

:40:47.:40:53.

And she did it in style beating the three-times world champion Ren

:40:53.:41:00.

Cancan. Her smile lit up the arena as she left and I'm sure she is

:41:00.:41:10.
:41:10.:41:13.

still doing the same. Let's go back to see her receiver that gold medal.

:41:13.:41:18.

She cannot contain her joy as she makes history by becoming the first

:41:18.:41:23.

women's Olympic boxing champion in the history of the Olympic Games.

:41:23.:41:28.

What better place to do it and before her home crowd here in

:41:28.:41:35.

London at the Games of the 30th Olympiad. Absolutely wonderful.

:41:35.:41:44.

This 29 year-old began boxing at the age of 12. She received the

:41:44.:41:54.
:41:54.:42:13.

most a rousing ovation from this # God save our gracious Queen.

:42:13.:42:18.

# Long live our noble Queen. # God save the Queen.

:42:19.:42:21.

# Send her victorious. # Happy and glorious.

:42:21.:42:31.
:42:31.:42:46.

# Long to reign over us. A sport that is always one of the

:42:46.:42:52.

showcases at any Olympic Games. That has just turned a page on a

:42:52.:42:57.

whole new chapter of Olympic achievements. We have just

:42:57.:43:00.

witnessed the coronation of the first women's Olympic boxing

:43:00.:43:06.

champion and it is Nicola Adams from Leeds who has topped the pile

:43:06.:43:11.

at the first women's Olympic boxing championship in history. She joins

:43:11.:43:21.
:43:21.:43:26.

the immortals of the Olympic boxing You got the medal, how does that

:43:26.:43:33.

feel? I am absolutely over the moon. I cannot believe I did my dream

:43:33.:43:38.

today. It is a dream come true for me. I have been dreaming about this

:43:38.:43:47.

since I was 12 years old. I have got my medal for Great Britain.

:43:47.:43:51.

was a fantastic performance all the way through. You must have been

:43:51.:43:56.

surprised how well it went, especially the knock-down. Yes,

:43:56.:44:01.

definitely, I was surprised, but this is what I have been working

:44:01.:44:06.

for a. We got the tactics spot on. I had trained and worked hard for

:44:06.:44:11.

the last eight weeks and the tactics paid off. I got in there

:44:11.:44:16.

and started fast to get the points on the board. All those years of

:44:16.:44:22.

wandering and having a bad injury and thinking, well I box? Now this

:44:22.:44:27.

must seem like a dream. Definitely, especially after my injury and I

:44:27.:44:37.

To come back again and when a gold medal, this is what dreams are made

:44:37.:44:42.

of. I would like to thank my fans as my mother and everybody who has

:44:42.:44:47.

come here to support me. I spoke to you before and you said, I have

:44:47.:44:54.

never known nerves like this, but you did not have to worry. No.

:44:54.:45:01.

the celebrations go on for several days? Yes, definitely, I think so.

:45:02.:45:09.

I just want to go to Nando's! During the next few days you will

:45:09.:45:15.

go home to Yorkshire. What we doing? I will be going around Leeds

:45:15.:45:21.

and showing off my gold medal and thanking them all for the support

:45:21.:45:26.

they had shown me over the years. The City of Leeds has given us

:45:26.:45:32.

great sporting heroes and you are one of them now. Yes, I am so proud

:45:32.:45:38.

to be families and to add myself to that table of many great athletes.

:45:38.:45:46.

Many congratulations, thank you very much. This is a nice moment

:45:46.:45:54.

for you as well. Yes, definitely. I have known him since he was in the

:45:54.:45:58.

England camp and I have not seen him for a while. She did better

:45:58.:46:03.

than me and she got the gold medal and that is what we wanted.

:46:03.:46:09.

well know how she feels. Yes, she will be over the moon. All that

:46:09.:46:15.

training has paid off. Nicola, thank you very much indeed. Let's

:46:15.:46:21.

get you to assess the site. It was routine for her. Yes, she did

:46:21.:46:27.

exactly what she had to do. Great footwork, great hands and great

:46:27.:46:32.

combinations. She got up in points in the early rounds and towards the

:46:32.:46:36.

end in the 4th round she was 10 points up and she walked right

:46:36.:46:42.

through it. A great performance and being such a young age as well. The

:46:42.:46:45.

girl who she was fighting was already the three-times world

:46:45.:46:49.

champion, so she put in a great performance and has to be proud of

:46:49.:46:54.

herself. Once you have won an Olympic medal, it changes your life

:46:54.:47:01.

for ever more of. Yes, definitely. I won a silver medal and I was a

:47:01.:47:04.

household name. Everywhere I went in England people were so happy for

:47:04.:47:09.

me and they wanted to take pictures. Nicola well get the same thing

:47:09.:47:14.

happening to her. A lot of people will want to meet her and take

:47:14.:47:18.

pictures of her. Now she is the face of British boxing, especially

:47:18.:47:24.

for women. And she is such an engaging personality. The she is

:47:24.:47:31.

always smiling and happy. I do not think I have never seen her not

:47:31.:47:35.

smile. She is very chilled out and calm and that is what I like about

:47:35.:47:41.

her. Wells said. It is a wonderful story and she has fought so hard

:47:41.:47:46.

for that gold medal. There were thousands of Irish fans to cheer on

:47:46.:47:52.

Katie Taylor who won the gold medal in the lightweight division. One

:47:52.:47:59.

other title was decided to date. It went to 17 year-old American

:47:59.:48:08.

Claressa Shields. She won the women's and middleweight title. She

:48:08.:48:13.

beat her 19-12 in the final. The Six o'clock News is coming up on
