BBC One: Day 13: 19.00-22.00

:00:54. > :00:59.Good evening. Is there really just three days to go after tonight?

:00:59. > :01:03.Before we concern ourselves with the life after the Olympics, for

:01:03. > :01:07.starters we have a Usain Bolt attempting to become the fastest --

:01:07. > :01:17.first man ever to win the Double Double. Now that's what you call

:01:17. > :01:27.People can talk, all they can do is talk. When it comes to the

:01:27. > :01:30.

:01:30. > :01:37.championship, it is all about He is pulling away! He is going to

:01:37. > :01:47.win the gold! 9.64! De champion becomes a legend. Why did we ever,

:01:47. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:58.If I'd dominated the Olympics come I will be a living legend. It

:01:58. > :02:00.

:02:00. > :02:04.sounds good, though. Streaking away down the home

:02:04. > :02:09.straight, three metres clear, five metres clear. He is on his way

:02:09. > :02:19.towards another gold medal. It is gold for Usain Bolt and a new world

:02:19. > :02:20.

:02:20. > :02:30.He is something else. The superstar of athletics tops the bill on a

:02:30. > :02:30.

:02:30. > :02:35.No man has successfully defended both the 102 hundred metres titles

:02:35. > :02:39.at the Olympics. Usain Bolt is about to make history. But his

:02:39. > :02:43.training partner you attack -- Yohan Blake beat him at the

:02:43. > :02:47.Jamaican trials in the 200 metres and says his semi was a walk in the

:02:47. > :02:52.park. It is going to be interesting!

:02:52. > :03:01.David Rudisha is as big a favourite to win gold as you will find on the

:03:01. > :03:06.Olympics track for the 800 metres. Andrew Osagie said he surprised

:03:06. > :03:11.himself in finishing second in the semi-final. A medal macro in the

:03:11. > :03:15.800 would be a tremendous achievement. -- a medal.

:03:15. > :03:20.Lynsey Sharp was a controversial selection but she impressed in her

:03:20. > :03:24.heat, she is looking to defy her critics once again.

:03:24. > :03:30.World champion Christian Taylor is favourite for gold in the men's

:03:30. > :03:40.triple jump final, which is devoid of them have to go abroad. --

:03:40. > :04:04.

:04:04. > :04:11.We will show you Jade Jones live at 10pm on BBC2 in the tae kwon do

:04:11. > :04:19.final. We will have highlights later, we won't spoil anything for

:04:19. > :04:26.you! Elsewhere, the women's football final. You can watch all

:04:26. > :04:29.of it on the red button. We start with a look back on some of the

:04:29. > :04:34.day's big moment. After a day without a medal, there were high

:04:34. > :04:44.hopes that hour dressage riders who one the team gold a few days ago

:04:44. > :04:48.

:04:48. > :04:51.could get the ball rolling again in Just two days ago Charlotte

:04:51. > :04:56.Dujardin, Carl Hester and Laura Bechtolsheimer took a team gold for

:04:56. > :05:02.Britain. Today in front of a packed arena they went head-to-head. Which

:05:02. > :05:06.one of them, if any, would do the double? Having placed well in the

:05:06. > :05:16.qualifiers, all three were in the last six to ride. Laura was first

:05:16. > :05:21.

:05:21. > :05:29.saying a word, but I am happy so far. -- holding my breath. You get

:05:29. > :05:34.the feeling these two are dancing together to the music. Fantastic!

:05:34. > :05:44.That is one of the best tests I have ever seen from a British rider

:05:44. > :05:48.

:05:48. > :05:52.in freestyle. And she knows it. She So she was in the gold medal

:05:53. > :06:02.position with just three riders to go. Two of them were her team mates.

:06:03. > :06:04.

:06:04. > :06:10.Slight errors cost him dearly and left him in third place. And after

:06:10. > :06:18.an impressive round by the Dutch world No. 1 put her into the lead,

:06:18. > :06:28.it was all about what 27-year-old Charlotte Dujardin could do. Her

:06:28. > :06:28.

:06:28. > :07:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 66 seconds

:07:35. > :07:44.rousing picture tick musical choice gold! 90.89! Charlotte Dujardin has

:07:44. > :07:54.iced the cake in style, and Britain So Charlotte, who 18 months ago had

:07:54. > :07:58.never ridden a grand prix event, secured a double Olympic gold.

:07:58. > :08:08.Team-mate Laura -- Laura Bechtolsheimer took bronze. It has

:08:08. > :08:11.

:08:11. > :08:16.been Team GB's equestrians most We can talk to our two heroines now.

:08:16. > :08:21.They joined us from Greenwich. Many congratulations. Before these games

:08:21. > :08:27.we had never had any medal in dressage, now we have two golds and

:08:27. > :08:31.a bronze, you must be delighted. are, we still haven't, half feet

:08:31. > :08:36.haven't touched the ground yet. It has been a tremendous few days for

:08:36. > :08:42.British dressage to. For Charlotte to have topped it off with an

:08:42. > :08:46.individual gold is beyond our wildest dreams. Charlotte, two gold

:08:46. > :08:51.medals, an unbelievable performance from you. How are nervous were you

:08:51. > :08:56.going last? Did it settled you that you had a golden the back?

:08:56. > :09:02.guess so. I didn't really get nervous, I just wanted to go out

:09:02. > :09:06.there, I wanted to have fun and enjoy it. My horse rose to the

:09:06. > :09:12.occasion, it was fantastic to have the home crowd behind us and be

:09:12. > :09:17.able to get another gold. It is incredible what you get the horses

:09:17. > :09:22.to do, it must take so much training and effort, Laura? It does,

:09:22. > :09:29.it takes a long time. Charlotte's horse is at the beginning of its

:09:29. > :09:33.career, mine is 17, heading to the end of its Korea, he does take a

:09:33. > :09:36.long partnership to be able to perform like that in front of a big

:09:36. > :09:40.crowd like that and do the fancy movements they do, they don't start

:09:40. > :09:47.competing at that level until they are nine or 10 anyway. So it is a

:09:47. > :09:53.lot of work, and it paid off! of fancy movement, and some

:09:53. > :09:58.interesting music ensembles as well! You went for the Lion King,

:09:58. > :10:06.and Charlotte, you went for a patriotic Popery of Music, who

:10:06. > :10:12.decides that? We get to choose what we want to ride two. Obviously we

:10:12. > :10:17.have to make sure that it fits the pace of our horses, and that the

:10:17. > :10:25.horses are comfortable with that music. Sometimes it is to Basie, it

:10:25. > :10:28.can upset the horses. -- if it has too much base. Incredible

:10:28. > :10:32.atmosphere, it does so quiet, you could hear a pin drop, and all the

:10:32. > :10:38.sudden, as soon as you finish, there is this incredible crescendo

:10:38. > :10:41.of noise. When you come in as a British rider, you can feel the

:10:41. > :10:45.crowd are desperate to start showing their appreciation. Luckily,

:10:45. > :10:52.they are very responsive here, and a lot of them know how horses as

:10:52. > :10:56.well. They know they need to be quiet for my horse, he is easily

:10:56. > :11:02.wound up and distracted. When you finish your test, it is an

:11:02. > :11:07.unbelievable feeling to hear 25,000 people erupt. I had your mum being

:11:07. > :11:12.interviewed, Charlotte, she said that when she lost her mother,

:11:12. > :11:19.sadly, she knew she had to spend the inheritance she got on a horse

:11:19. > :11:22.for you. She said you could make a donkey do anything. You must be

:11:22. > :11:31.eternally grateful to your mother for that? Obviously I'm very lucky

:11:31. > :11:36.to have my mum's support, my whole family, really. We were not

:11:36. > :11:42.financially... It was quite expensive for us to do it, but when

:11:42. > :11:48.my mum's mum died, we managed to get a horse and I started from

:11:48. > :11:55.there. How are you going to celebrate this triumph for? We have

:11:55. > :12:05.a boat on the Thames. We are going to party and party! What time does

:12:05. > :12:10.it start? 9pm. So we are going to finish up here and head on down,

:12:10. > :12:16.see everybody, friends and family. It is going to be great to let our

:12:16. > :12:19.hair down now, as we have finished. Celebrate in the right way! I

:12:19. > :12:28.sensed you might get a big crowd at the party now you have told

:12:29. > :12:32.everyone! Many congratulations, you Wonderful stuff, and what a

:12:32. > :12:42.beautiful evening we have around the Olympic Park. All over the

:12:42. > :12:43.

:12:43. > :12:48.South of England, in fact. So that took the medal tally to 50 ft of

:12:48. > :12:52.less than an hour later the tally went up -- goal tally went up to 24,

:12:52. > :12:57.could see a of Nicola Adams. She made history by winning the first

:12:57. > :13:04.of a gold medal in women's boxing with an outstanding performance to

:13:04. > :13:10.beat the three-time world champion, Ren Cancan Of China. She had her

:13:10. > :13:19.opponent on the floor, and sent the crowd wild. She took the gold

:13:19. > :13:29.eventually by 16.27. She will be joining us later on. Brilliant

:13:29. > :13:33.

:13:33. > :13:36.Great Britain's Nicola Adams and earned a place in the history books

:13:36. > :13:43.as she became the first woman to win her Olympic boxing gold, thanks

:13:43. > :13:46.to a stunning demolition of China's Ren Cancan.

:13:46. > :13:52.Kerri-Anne Payne suffered huge disappointment in the 10 kilometres

:13:52. > :13:57.open waters when, missing out on a medal by just 0.4 seconds after a

:13:57. > :14:02.gruelling slog in the Serpentine. Jade Jones has guaranteed herself

:14:02. > :14:09.at least a silver in the women's tae kwon do. She fights for gold at

:14:09. > :14:14.10:15pm. That is live on BBC2. Fellow Brent Martin Stamper was

:14:14. > :14:24.knocked out in the semi-final. He still has a chance of bronze,

:14:24. > :14:42.

:14:42. > :14:47.You know you have got a special evening of athletics when Michael

:14:47. > :14:52.Johnson comes into the studio. Delighted to see you. Can Usain

:14:53. > :14:57.Bolt do it? That is the question. Yes, he can do it, there is no

:14:57. > :15:03.doubt about that. This is going to be a little bit different from what

:15:03. > :15:09.we saw in the 100 metres. This is not me saying this, to be clear,

:15:09. > :15:15.but Bolt says he doesn't train as hard as Yohan Blake. He said after

:15:15. > :15:19.the 100 metres. Training comes into play much more in the 200. Why is

:15:19. > :15:25.that? Because it is the longer event, so the speed endurance, the

:15:25. > :15:30.ability to hold a bat speed, we know that Bolt has incredible speed,

:15:30. > :15:36.superior over Blake, but how long can you hold it? You have to train

:15:36. > :15:41.for that. So the athlete who trains harder may have an advantage. Blake

:15:41. > :15:46.is known for training very hard. But there is a trade-off, he is a

:15:47. > :15:52.shorter athlete. Does that help around the bend? It doesn't. What

:15:52. > :15:57.does help them is he has a lower centre of gravity, so navigating

:15:57. > :16:03.the bend is a bit easier for him, but a bit harder because he is so

:16:03. > :16:09.tight in here, because he is a bulky and muscular athlete. At the

:16:09. > :16:19.end of the day, you can't bet against Bolt, he is the best there

:16:19. > :16:27.

:16:27. > :16:36.The other thing that comes into play in this race, much more than

:16:36. > :16:46.the 100m, is the lane draw. Usain Bolt finds himself out in lane

:16:46. > :16:46.

:16:46. > :16:56.seven, while Blake is in lane four. Usain Bolt hopes he will never see

:16:56. > :17:01.Yohan Blake, but that is going to be interesting as well. Why didn't

:17:01. > :17:06.Usain Bolt run a bit quicker and get himself a good lane? What they

:17:06. > :17:10.do is, they rank the qualifiers, based on the heat and the fastest

:17:10. > :17:16.losers, so he goes in the top four of the draw. After that, it is

:17:16. > :17:23.randomly drawn. It could have been anywhere between four and seven. He

:17:23. > :17:28.had no control over that. So, he is just unfortunate. You cannot bet

:17:28. > :17:33.against Bolt. If I knew who was going to win, all of those people

:17:33. > :17:39.would not be out there. But they are! At the end of the day, like I

:17:39. > :17:44.said, you can never bet against Bolt. This is his favourite event,

:17:44. > :17:48.but again, it is very interesting, because Blake is in a perfect

:17:48. > :17:56.position. He feels this is his best opportunity, and he has got nothing

:17:56. > :17:59.to lose. If he walks away from here with two civil medals, both to the

:17:59. > :18:05.greatest man there has ever been, nobody will say anything about that.

:18:05. > :18:10.So he cannot lose. Looking forward to it, it is going to be a great

:18:10. > :18:16.evening. Michael will be making his way over to the stadium, it is only

:18:16. > :18:21.about 200 metres away. About 20 seconds, do you think? Not quite!

:18:21. > :18:27.But it is a massive night which lies ahead. Over to you, John

:18:27. > :18:32.Inverdale. When Michael gets here, he will find this stadium more on

:18:32. > :18:41.edge than it was at the weekend. The hysteria in here is going off

:18:41. > :18:49.the scale. We are 1.5 hours or so away from the race. It is the most

:18:49. > :18:54.extraordinary crowd in here tonight. 60,000 people stayed for 3.5 hours

:18:54. > :18:59.to watch the pole vault today, an unbelievable display. We are all

:18:59. > :19:09.very excited about this. We are, but we are trying to keep still, we

:19:09. > :19:14.promised! The thing about it if any, we can all marvel at greatness, but

:19:15. > :19:20.we also love a contest, which is what makes it so exciting. You were

:19:20. > :19:23.both very convinced about Bolt in the 100m, after you had seen the

:19:23. > :19:29.semi-finals, but there is an element of doubt in the air this

:19:29. > :19:33.evening. There is, and it is very small, but because we know it is

:19:34. > :19:39.there, it is mouth-watering, the fact that we do not want Bolt to

:19:39. > :19:43.lose, but at the same tongue, we quite like the fact that he might.

:19:43. > :19:48.I think that means it is quite exciting, and if anybody is going

:19:48. > :19:55.to do it, it is going to be Blake. I have still got to go for Usain

:19:55. > :20:03.Bolt, that has got to be clear. But I wanted to be a clear race. I

:20:03. > :20:09.think we might see Blake coming at him down the final straight. Yohan

:20:09. > :20:13.Blake obviously is a fraction away from the world record, and Usain

:20:13. > :20:19.Bolt is the owner of the world record, so it is going to be tied.

:20:19. > :20:24.Just to mark your card, 8:55pm tonight for that one. London has

:20:24. > :20:27.been magnificent today, and the landscape of the city changes all

:20:27. > :20:33.the time. If you get the chance to go on that cable-car across the

:20:33. > :20:38.River Thames, take it, it is fantastic. The other thing which

:20:38. > :20:45.has changed the landscape is the advent of the Shard. Today, for

:20:45. > :20:52.want of so where better to go, Garry Richardson took our new long

:20:52. > :21:02.some -- long jump champion, Greg Rutherford, to see one of London's

:21:02. > :21:11.

:21:11. > :21:14.newest landmarks. Look at that view. So, you made it right to the top as

:21:14. > :21:19.an Olympic champion, but of course, you might have had another career

:21:19. > :21:23.as a footballer with Aston Villa? Yes, there was the potential for

:21:23. > :21:28.that route when I was a bit younger, but I was a bit lazy, to be honest.

:21:28. > :21:33.Once you had decided upon athletics, you started to make your mark in

:21:33. > :21:38.the long jump, but the new decided you had had enough at the age of

:21:38. > :21:43.16? Yes, my coach decided to quit at the time, and I decided to take

:21:43. > :21:47.a break, be a to we will rebellious teenager. All of a sudden, somebody

:21:47. > :21:54.else came along and invited me to come back and to do a bit of

:21:54. > :21:58.training. Luckily, here I am. has made you an Olympic champion?

:21:58. > :22:02.There are a lot of sportsmen and women who are extremely talented,

:22:02. > :22:06.but they find it difficult to do the extra bits, the Sleep, the

:22:06. > :22:11.Nutrition, the training. It can be incredibly hard, when it is pouring

:22:11. > :22:17.down with rain or snow, and you have got to go out and do your

:22:17. > :22:22.stuff. It can be hard to get yourself motivated. But the ones

:22:22. > :22:32.that really have that age, they do not care, all they want to do is to

:22:32. > :22:42.become a champion. There is another tower to visit now. Exactly. Do you

:22:42. > :23:01.

:23:01. > :23:11.have a head for heights? I think we So, the 69th floor of the Shard.

:23:11. > :23:12.

:23:12. > :23:17.Absolutely spectacular. A few days later, has it sunk in, what you

:23:18. > :23:26.have done? I don't think, to be honest. It has been a bit of a

:23:26. > :23:32.whirlwind since it happened. When the final was under way, you set

:23:32. > :23:38.down a marker for the rest. plan always was to try to get a

:23:38. > :23:46.decent jump in early. When you try harder in the long jump, you do not

:23:46. > :23:50.jump further. And you're watching your competitors, and thinking,

:23:50. > :23:56.please do not beat me. Yes, of course. Every time I was thinking,

:23:56. > :24:00.is this going to be the moment I am going to have to react? But

:24:00. > :24:06.fortunately for me, it did not happen. The Feeling at the moment

:24:06. > :24:11.was what? I cannot really put it into words. You have just been told

:24:11. > :24:17.everything you ever wanted, you know have. It is all I have ever

:24:17. > :24:25.dreamt of. I literally could not get any words out for the national

:24:25. > :24:32.anthem. It was incredibly emotional. So, 69th floor, and you have got so

:24:32. > :24:37.more statistics? Yes, I think it is the... Thank you very much!

:24:37. > :24:42.have spoken about the pressure of your job, but how do you fancy

:24:42. > :24:46.that? Nothing in comparison to that, it is absolutely insane. It is the

:24:46. > :24:51.most amazing thing I have ever seen. Look at him, nerves of steel, just

:24:51. > :24:55.sitting there. Could you imagine coming to work every day, and doing

:24:55. > :25:05.this, on the side of the tallest building in Europe? It is just

:25:05. > :25:17.

:25:17. > :25:22.insane. We have arranged for you to Anyway, Greg Rutherford, his life

:25:22. > :25:29.is different now, it is so different, in fact, they have

:25:29. > :25:34.changed the name of one of the roads in Milton Keynes for him. Can

:25:34. > :25:40.you remember how you work four days after winning in Sydney? Did you

:25:40. > :25:44.feel that life would never be the same again? No, it was several

:25:44. > :25:49.weeks before the gold medal really hit home. It will be several weeks

:25:49. > :25:52.for our gold-medallists to come to terms with their new life. It is

:25:52. > :25:57.almost a dream. It is still disbelief that it has happened to

:25:57. > :26:02.you. You think, where did this happen? What happened? It is a

:26:02. > :26:06.magical feeling. Then, as I said, it is about going home, they will

:26:06. > :26:10.look at all the newspaper cuttings, the videotapes, because they will

:26:11. > :26:15.not have had a chance to see any of this, and they will take stock of

:26:15. > :26:18.how momentous it really was. Looking at the positive and

:26:18. > :26:24.negative side, we were hoping to see Goldie Sayers in the javelin

:26:24. > :26:28.tonight, but that has not happened, and also, we will not be seeing

:26:28. > :26:37.Phillips Idowu in the triple jump, either. If you want to see either

:26:37. > :26:42.of those family -- finals, you can do so. But one person we will be

:26:43. > :26:47.watching tonight is Lynsey Sharp. Yes, and she has been improving.

:26:47. > :26:51.She has run personal bests this year. She may have felt a bit of

:26:51. > :26:55.responsibility on her shoulders, because of the way she was selected,

:26:55. > :26:59.but I hope that she has got all of that out of her sister now. She is

:26:59. > :27:09.there because people have believed in her. Maybe that could be a

:27:09. > :27:13.

:27:13. > :27:18.motivation. Exactly. Here we go, with our track action this evening.

:27:18. > :27:28.It's the first semi-final of the Women's 800m, and for that, it is

:27:28. > :27:32.

:27:32. > :27:36.chance for Lynsey Sharp to show what she can do. She is an

:27:37. > :27:42.ambitious young lady, and she has run with a lot of authority to get

:27:42. > :27:46.here. The overall standard of the first round was not great, but for

:27:46. > :27:50.these semi-finals, it is a different story. The first two and

:27:50. > :28:00.the two fastest will go through to the final on Saturday. This is what

:28:00. > :28:20.

:28:20. > :28:27.that is a roundabout the form she has shown this year. She is the

:28:27. > :28:33.Colombian record holder. That silver medal at the European

:28:33. > :28:43.Championships pretty much got Sharp selected for this. It is a huge

:28:43. > :28:43.

:28:43. > :28:45.opportunity for her. But this will be tough. Silver-medallist at the

:28:46. > :28:52.World Indoor Championships, Nataliia Lupu, is having a good

:28:52. > :28:56.year. The defending champion, from Kenya, the first ever female

:28:56. > :29:06.Olympic champion for them, Pamela Jelimo. Many people's favourite for

:29:06. > :29:07.

:29:07. > :29:13.the gold medal. Now, Alice Schmidt, representing the United States.

:29:13. > :29:20.Representing Russia, their national champion of this year, who has had

:29:20. > :29:27.an incredible burst through in terms of form, Poistogova. Almanza

:29:27. > :29:37.of Cuba, just 20 years of age. Great talent for the Cubans. And

:29:37. > :29:50.

:29:50. > :29:55.who will go off the hardest, and everybody will be following her.

:29:55. > :30:00.Lynsey Sharp might want to drop-off a little bit, not too far, though.

:30:00. > :30:06.It is about pacing your race well, and she may well have to run the

:30:06. > :30:12.best 800m of her life. Something under two minutes may be required

:30:12. > :30:22.to get near the top two. Don't forget, there are two fastest

:30:22. > :30:30.

:30:30. > :30:37.hoping that Lynsey Sharp, from Edinburgh, can show the sort of

:30:37. > :30:40.talent she undoubtedly has on this biggest of stages. I think they all

:30:41. > :30:46.look to Jelimo, it looks as though she doesn't really want to pick it

:30:46. > :30:51.up. This could be slow. Lynsey Sharp will not be too disappointed,

:30:51. > :30:56.she has the kind of pace that could be dangerous in the last 200.

:30:56. > :31:02.Everybody is watching the champion, Jelimo, an old into a false sense

:31:02. > :31:10.of security. She has got the ability and the talent, and I'm

:31:10. > :31:14.looking at Lynsey Sharp, wisely keeping out of trouble. It is not

:31:14. > :31:19.very fast, so she will have an awful lot of running to do, and she

:31:19. > :31:22.doesn't look as if she is in the right place at the moment. Jelimo

:31:22. > :31:27.in the middle of the grid, Lynsey Sharp now starting to pick up the

:31:27. > :31:33.pieces, she has to do an awful lot of running. A little bit surprised

:31:33. > :31:37.she gave herself up so much to do. It is not excessively fast yet.

:31:37. > :31:46.They will be thinking they have a chance yet, it will come down to

:31:46. > :31:50.the big cake. Lynsey Sharp does have a good kick. Lupu is looking

:31:50. > :31:56.comfortable, Lynsey Sharp is going to have to find a lot in the last

:31:56. > :32:01.200 he/she is going to even get close, only the top two get through.

:32:01. > :32:07.Garcia is looking good. Lynsey Sharp a long way off the top two,

:32:07. > :32:12.she is struggling. Jelimo and Poistogova are pulling away, Garcia

:32:12. > :32:20.will try and keep going for the fastest loser has barred. But

:32:20. > :32:27.lovely, controlled running from the front two. Round about the two

:32:27. > :32:31.minute Sharpe. Lynsey Sharp coming in in 7th place there. I think that

:32:31. > :32:35.first round for her was something she was able to enjoy it and

:32:35. > :32:41.qualifier and run well, but when you get to the semi-finals, these

:32:41. > :32:50.athletes can run off a fast pace, a slower pace, and then everybody can

:32:50. > :32:54.kick. What she might be disappointed about his not running

:32:54. > :32:59.a personal best. But she has given it the best she possibly could, but

:32:59. > :33:04.she was never really in it. She is still flat on the track, having a

:33:04. > :33:12.hard one here. Jelimo decided not to make it quick, the rest of them

:33:12. > :33:17.obeyed her orders. The champion, you do have that aura of

:33:17. > :33:21.invincibility rewire as good as she is. They decided it was up to her

:33:21. > :33:29.how she wanted to run the race. Poistogova of Russia looks ominous,

:33:29. > :33:32.leaving it gently on the inside. 28.9 last 200 metres by Jelimo,

:33:32. > :33:38.that is pretty good running, but I think she had it easier than she

:33:38. > :33:43.expected. A I think Lynsey Sharp, digging deep in the finishing

:33:43. > :33:48.straight, just not able to take them on terms. She wasn't able to

:33:49. > :33:55.get there on the bell. She wasn't able to be competitive, she tried

:33:55. > :34:00.as hard as she could. She has come on awful long way in a year, she

:34:00. > :34:10.has acquitted herself well, but that was a very hard run, and she

:34:10. > :34:15.

:34:15. > :34:25.was very, very tired, she will find quick enough, but those two races

:34:25. > :34:27.

:34:27. > :34:36.A real sense of frustration, to put it Martley? E s. I just got in a

:34:36. > :34:42.really bad position. And on the second lap, there was just a wall

:34:42. > :34:48.in front of me. It wasn't a very clever race. What happened in front

:34:48. > :34:51.of you? Just to hang onto the lead group, I found the whole group was

:34:52. > :34:57.at the front... I just found myself at the back because of the British

:34:57. > :35:03.and I got myself into at the break. I didn't execute it properly.

:35:03. > :35:12.have had a lot to deal with in the build-up, was that any kind of

:35:12. > :35:16.factor for you? No, I am in great shape. It didn't go my way to

:35:16. > :35:20.become I know I am in PB shade, and it didn't happen on the day.

:35:20. > :35:30.have carried yourself admirably, commiserations, but I'm sure this

:35:30. > :35:42.

:35:42. > :35:48.is just the start for you. Thanks men's triple jump now. The European

:35:48. > :35:58.champion in Helsinki, do not have. -- de Nieto. Way over the leading

:35:58. > :36:03.

:36:03. > :36:11.from at Donato. There is no Phillips Idowu. The favourite for

:36:11. > :36:16.this competition is Christian Taylor, the world champion. But

:36:16. > :36:26.real disappointment for the crowd here, no Phillips Idowu. A big

:36:26. > :36:58.

:36:58. > :37:03.57, the American champion. Caster Semenya, still only 21 years old,

:37:03. > :37:09.and now coached by the great Maria Mutola, who was the multi- world

:37:09. > :37:19.champion are back in two thousandths of -- back in 2000. In

:37:19. > :37:20.

:37:20. > :37:30.the last Olympic Games it was Kenny at one and two. She one the silver.

:37:30. > :37:43.

:37:43. > :37:53.outside two minutes this year. Then the European champion, Arzhakova or,

:37:53. > :38:01.

:38:01. > :38:08.holder. All eyes, you suspect will be on the Kenyan. As well as an an

:38:08. > :38:18.Olympic silver medallist, she got silver in 2009 in the world

:38:18. > :38:28.

:38:28. > :38:35.through to the final. The big three have gone off pretty quickly.

:38:35. > :38:45.Semenya, just settling in there. He's in onto the shoulder of the

:38:45. > :38:45.

:38:45. > :38:51.American. When Busienei broke onto the scene, we thought we had seen

:38:51. > :38:58.the new-generation of 800 metres runners. Then along came Pamela at

:38:58. > :39:04.Jelimo who beat her as well. So the two Kenyans have been outstanding.

:39:04. > :39:08.On the outside, the former world champion, Caster Semenya. This

:39:08. > :39:14.young South African athlete to have -- has had all her troubles, but

:39:14. > :39:22.here she is, out and competing, that is what she likes to do. So

:39:22. > :39:32.far, much faster than the first semi-final. If you look at Semenya,

:39:32. > :39:44.

:39:44. > :39:52.she is leaving herself a little bit 200 metres to go. In the heat, she

:39:52. > :39:56.looked absolutely superb. The four of them are bunched together. The

:39:56. > :40:06.European champion, Arzhakova, is right in the middle. She is right

:40:06. > :40:17.

:40:17. > :40:21.second, Caster Semenya comes home first. That is swift. And I think

:40:21. > :40:26.there is a lot more to come from Caster Semenya as well, safely

:40:26. > :40:32.through to the final. That was an impressive performance from Caster

:40:32. > :40:36.Semenya of South Africa. She hasn't shown much form in recent times,

:40:37. > :40:44.but today, for which a judge to that race, she gave herself a

:40:44. > :40:50.little bit to do in the back straight, starting to move through,

:40:50. > :40:56.starting to move quickly. And this is a class athlete, the Kenyan, but

:40:56. > :41:05.Caster Semenya, the way she controlled it, not excessively

:41:05. > :41:15.quick, she was just moving through, and then into the finishing

:41:15. > :41:23.

:41:23. > :41:28.straight, the strength of this busy watching Carter so many are

:41:28. > :41:34.running her best time of the season, that was impressive -- watching

:41:34. > :41:41.Caster Semenya. Look how controlled she is. She is driving on through,

:41:41. > :41:46.the Kenyan is coming under real pressure. She is going to have to

:41:46. > :41:51.wait now, Busienei. She may qualify as one of the fastest losers, but

:41:51. > :42:01.this was an impressive warning to the other athletes, Semenya is back

:42:01. > :42:17.

:42:17. > :42:23.in action, ready to challenge for a South Africa have a go pretty good

:42:23. > :42:27.Olympic -- Olympic Games. What did you make of car to so many of

:42:27. > :42:34.there? Very good qualification. We know she has the talent, from what

:42:34. > :42:39.she has shown in the past. Last year was a let-down. But she is now

:42:39. > :42:46.back on her game, it seems. That was a very impressive qualification,

:42:46. > :42:50.based on what we have seen in the past. She is well and truly into

:42:50. > :42:55.the final, Lynsey Sharp is out. I'm sure there will be commentators,

:42:55. > :43:03.some of the crowd saying, that goes to show, they should have picked

:43:03. > :43:08.Marilyn Okoro, Jenny Meadows, what would you say? Benefit of hindsight.

:43:08. > :43:13.Yes, the girls watching at home, Emma Jackson, Marilyn Okoro is

:43:13. > :43:16.probably ready for the relay now, they will be sitting there feeling

:43:16. > :43:20.aggrieved at this moment, but at the end of the day, Lynsey Sharp

:43:20. > :43:26.did what she needed to do when it mattered, and that is the most

:43:26. > :43:32.important thing. Yes, there will be some corners saying, just maybe

:43:32. > :43:38.Charles van Commenee got it wrong. And are they right? I think... Who

:43:38. > :43:42.shall I say is right here? The one who is right! I think she did

:43:42. > :43:46.nothing wrong, she did what was required of her, she left to do the

:43:46. > :43:50.people who are technically should know to make the decision, and if

:43:50. > :43:54.Charles makes the decision, he is the boss, he says this is the

:43:54. > :43:59.person he wants to represent us, he makes the decision and whatever the

:43:59. > :44:05.answer is, he lives with it. He knows if it was good, he will be

:44:05. > :44:09.the Messiah. If it is bad, he will take a lot of fire. The end of the

:44:09. > :44:15.day, we will have to look at the Times the other girls have produced,

:44:15. > :44:22.when a quick enough to get through? Possibly not. Could you only pick

:44:22. > :44:28.one person? Yes, it was complex! wasn't over here! A lot of trees

:44:28. > :44:37.were felled for the forest oath newsprint written about that! Easy

:44:37. > :44:47.to be wise after the event. Anyway, one more semi-final in the women's

:44:47. > :44:53.

:44:53. > :45:03.the middle one was the tougher of the free. This one has Cherono

:45:03. > :45:13.

:45:13. > :45:19.is one of them, Niyonsaba, she is just 19 years of age, and I think

:45:19. > :45:26.this might be her -- the 6th race of her career. She is a real raw

:45:26. > :45:29.talent. She one the African championships, -- she won the

:45:29. > :45:34.African championships, then she qualified for this and is now

:45:34. > :45:38.lining up against the world champion. I think Niyonsaba is

:45:38. > :45:42.someone who you will have to watch, she is not quite sure what she is

:45:42. > :45:49.doing, just because of inexperience. She is not sure about where to

:45:49. > :45:56.place herself. It is better for her if it is a good, hard race. That

:45:56. > :46:06.last race was the 6th fastest in the world. The fastest losers but

:46:06. > :46:22.

:46:22. > :46:28.confidence in the world in her kick. You can see how slowly Niyonsaba

:46:28. > :46:35.gets off the start line, but she is a huge talent. So is Koech on the

:46:35. > :46:41.inside, the youngster from Kenya. So, some new names to look out for

:46:41. > :46:49.here. As I suggested, Savinova immediately goes to the back of the

:46:49. > :46:55.field, she has no interest in making this one. There's the world

:46:55. > :47:00.champion, just sitting and watching, with the youngster Niyonsaba just

:47:00. > :47:05.behind her. BRENDAN FOSTER: She knows the

:47:05. > :47:09.strength of her second lap, and she is happy to follow in that group.

:47:09. > :47:14.Just behind her, the young African Niyonsaba, who has now decided to

:47:14. > :47:21.move forward. Look how quickly she moved there, that's fantastic, when

:47:21. > :47:27.you see a young athlete arriving on the world scene like that. After

:47:27. > :47:32.having only half-a-dozen races in your whole life, this is raw talent,

:47:32. > :47:38.but that's what we want to see, the arrival of raw talent, together

:47:38. > :47:44.with the more calculated style of the world champion, Savinova. She

:47:44. > :47:53.is really closing them down now. Niyonsaba was probably thinking,

:47:53. > :48:03.hang on, I am supposed to be near the front. Just look at this

:48:03. > :48:04.

:48:04. > :48:09.youngster Niyonsaba. Savinova has timed her effort perfectly. Watch

:48:09. > :48:14.this youngster go again. Running with awe of her heart to try to get

:48:14. > :48:24.ahead of the world champion. What a talent she is going to be. She is a

:48:24. > :48:24.

:48:24. > :48:30.raw talent at the moment. That's almost a personal best, just about

:48:30. > :48:35.matching it, for the young athlete. That will mean that our two fastest

:48:35. > :48:42.losers will come from that second semi-final. I am pleased she has

:48:42. > :48:48.made it through. Savinova looked good, but we have just seen a

:48:48. > :48:54.bright new talent at 800m. Just eating up the yarns, the champion,

:48:54. > :48:57.growing with confidence, as we expected. In second place, the

:48:57. > :49:04.youngster Niyonsaba, running the sixth race of her whole life, which

:49:04. > :49:09.is absolutely incredible. To me, that is real African talent. There

:49:09. > :49:12.goes the precise workings of the Russian world champion, and into

:49:12. > :49:17.the finishing straight, the young African comes through, deciding

:49:17. > :49:27.that it is time to kick. Look at that, she almost stumbled there,

:49:27. > :49:28.

:49:28. > :49:36.that was strange, as Savinova glided up alongside her. That, for

:49:36. > :49:41.me, was incredible, that's what the Olympic Games is all about. When

:49:41. > :49:51.she learns how to run properly...! She is doing pretty well at the

:49:51. > :50:21.

:50:21. > :50:26.That is around 17.50. The world indoor champion, Claye. Taylor is

:50:26. > :50:36.the world outdoor champion. It really is the big guns from America

:50:36. > :50:36.

:50:36. > :50:40.in this triple jump, together with two very good Italians as well. He

:50:40. > :50:50.switched from the long jump, and some questioned whether that was a

:50:50. > :50:57.

:50:57. > :51:07.good decision. Will Claye goes into two good Italians, and this is one

:51:07. > :51:17.of them. This triple jump competition is coming alive.

:51:17. > :51:22.

:51:22. > :51:29.STEVE CRAM: these are the athletes who are through to the final of the

:51:29. > :51:39.Women's 800m. I'm sure that youngster will be an athlete to

:51:39. > :51:45.contend within that final. Now, we move on to the Men's 800m.

:51:45. > :51:53.His dad won a silver medal in 1968, he has run the four fastest times

:51:53. > :51:57.in the world this year, and one day, he might even run 800m in 100

:51:57. > :52:06.seconds. No wonder David Rudisha is the most hotly tipped favourite of

:52:06. > :52:16.any event in these Games. COMMENTATOR: This man is very, very

:52:16. > :52:22.

:52:22. > :52:32.special indeed. He is so dominant over 800m. Sometimes, people ask me,

:52:32. > :52:35.

:52:35. > :52:38.are you David Rudisha?! The Olympics is the biggest thing, and

:52:38. > :52:43.I understand that billions of people are watching. To participate

:52:43. > :52:48.here is special, and of course, doing something special would be an

:52:48. > :52:55.honour. He is unrivalled at the moment on the world scene. Your

:52:55. > :53:01.father, Daniel, competed in the 1968 Olympics - I guess that has

:53:01. > :53:06.inspired you, going into these Games? Absolutely, he has been a

:53:06. > :53:12.big inspiration to me, he is the reason why I am here, the reason

:53:12. > :53:19.why I am running. Because I knew him as a father, and he was a great

:53:19. > :53:26.athlete. I said, I have to do it, because if my father did it, then I

:53:26. > :53:33.can do it. You're a big fan of Sebastian Coe, I understand you

:53:33. > :53:37.have spent many evenings watching him on YouTube? Yes, many times. He

:53:37. > :53:46.was a beautiful one. He is also a good friend of mine. He has

:53:46. > :53:50.inspired me a lot. He has told me, you are the only man who's able at

:53:50. > :53:54.this time to break the world record. It was a big thing for me, because

:53:54. > :53:59.I know what an athlete he was, and he knows what it takes to break the

:54:00. > :54:05.world record. If he has told me that, then I say, let me just put

:54:05. > :54:09.it in action. I was happy. What will it mean to Kenya for you to be

:54:09. > :54:15.there standing in front of the world with an Olympic gold medal?

:54:15. > :54:19.Kenyans have a lot of hope in me. They know that I am going to bring

:54:19. > :54:26.this gold medal home. So far, they have been following my performance,

:54:26. > :54:36.and they have no doubt. Everyone I have met is encouraging me, you are

:54:36. > :54:37.

:54:37. > :54:41.able, just go for it. So, I want to do it. I want to do it for my

:54:41. > :54:46.father and for myself. It almost feels like an African evening here

:54:46. > :54:51.in London tonight, with this beautiful weather. There is the man.

:54:51. > :54:55.We started that piece by saying, the greatest athlete you have never

:54:55. > :54:59.heard of. And for most people watching, I'm sure, today, they

:55:00. > :55:06.might vaguely have an awareness of him, but he does not cross over

:55:06. > :55:10.from athletics into the wider landscape. Not until now, I hope.

:55:10. > :55:15.For people who follow athletics religiously, in the Diamond League,

:55:16. > :55:22.they would have seen him run, they will have watched him in Paris,

:55:22. > :55:27.with that fantastic time. He is the most beautiful runner. If Sebastian

:55:27. > :55:33.Coe can almost anoint him, to say he is the man he predicts will

:55:33. > :55:37.break that world record again, then, he really is that person. He said

:55:37. > :55:42.in that piece that the people of Kenya have no doubts that he's

:55:42. > :55:47.going to win this - do you have any doubt, Michael? Not at all. He is

:55:47. > :55:51.undefeated, two-time world record holder, he is almost two seconds

:55:51. > :55:56.faster this year than anyone else in the field. And he is not the

:55:56. > :56:00.type of athlete who will tactically mess this up, as has happened in

:56:00. > :56:04.the past. Seb Coe will talk about his own failure as world record-

:56:04. > :56:08.holder coming into the Olympics. It has happened in the past with

:56:08. > :56:15.Wilson kicky to as well. He was the world record, who did not win. I do

:56:15. > :56:18.not see that happening here. way he is going to run will be as

:56:18. > :56:24.he often does, he likes to lead from the front. Once he hits the

:56:24. > :56:30.front, there is no turning back. So, everybody's fighting for silver and

:56:30. > :56:35.bronze. Is Andrew Osagie an outside contender for a medal? Why not? We

:56:35. > :56:40.have seen him going really well on the circuit. He has gone under one

:56:40. > :56:44.minute 45 on numerous occasions. He has got lots of experience from

:56:44. > :56:49.running in the Diamond League, alongside these top guys. I suppose

:56:49. > :56:53.we could say this is top of the undercard, if you like. Bolt

:56:53. > :56:56.against break is coming up at 8:55pm this evening, but this is

:56:56. > :57:05.not about support act. Over to Steve Cram.

:57:05. > :57:09.STEVE CRAM: So, Andrew Osagie joins an illustrious group of men in

:57:09. > :57:19.contesting this 800m. It is packed with young men, apart from David

:57:19. > :57:20.

:57:20. > :57:29.Rudisha, almost the old man, at 23! Timothy Kitum, just 17 years of age.

:57:29. > :57:39.Nijel Amos, just 18. Mohammed Aman, 18. Then we have the experience of

:57:39. > :57:46.

:57:46. > :57:49.Mohammed Aman and Duane Solomon. Well, he was spotted in Kenya, a

:57:49. > :57:55.country which has obviously had some great champions. He was

:57:55. > :58:02.spotted when he was 14 years of age running 200m, and he was impressive

:58:02. > :58:11.then. He has even done a bit of Decathlon. He is joined by Andrew

:58:11. > :58:15.Osagie tonight. Well done to him for making it through to this final.

:58:15. > :58:19.Timothy Kitum, the Commonwealth youth champion, just 17 years of

:58:19. > :58:24.age. Second in the world junior championships this year, which were

:58:24. > :58:29.held in Barcelona. The world champion, who broke two world

:58:29. > :58:34.records in one week in 2010. Let's see what he has in store for us

:58:34. > :58:38.tonight. The hottest favourite, as has been said, at these Olympic

:58:38. > :58:44.Games, in track-and-field. The new world junior champion, who beat

:58:44. > :58:54.Timothy Kitum in that race, Nijel Amos, of Botswana. This is another

:58:54. > :59:01.fantastic young talent. Will it be the Ethiopian Aman who can get in

:59:02. > :59:11.amongst the medals? Teenagers with titles galore. Duane Solomon, very

:59:12. > :59:12.

:59:12. > :59:20.impressive, coached by the great Johnny Gray. Nick Symmonds, coached

:59:20. > :59:24.by Great Britain's Mark Rowland, over in Oregon. Abubaker Kaki,

:59:24. > :59:31.twice the world indoor champion and silver-medallist behind David

:59:31. > :59:35.Rudisha in Daegu last year. Brendan, a quick word about this man?

:59:35. > :59:38.BRENDAN FOSTER: What a fantastic athlete he is. I spoke to his

:59:38. > :59:42.manager this afternoon, and he said to me, he is going to run his

:59:42. > :59:47.normal race. That means about 50 seconds for the first lap, and then

:59:47. > :59:50.just keep going as hard as he can. He knows about the tradition of the

:59:50. > :59:55.Olympic Games, he loves the tradition, and he is going to put

:59:55. > :59:58.his stamp on it. He was introduced as the sideshow to Usain Bolt, he

:59:58. > :00:03.is not bothered about that, but he wants to make sure that his

:00:03. > :00:07.performance here goes in the record books as a great one. He may

:00:07. > :00:17.determine the other medals as well - will they follow him, will they

:00:17. > :00:23.

:00:23. > :00:30.go as fast as him, and will they be race of his life against the world

:00:30. > :00:35.champion, who is now attempting to become the Olympic champion. David

:00:35. > :00:42.Rudisha, loves to be in the front. Kaki comes along in his customary

:00:42. > :00:51.position. For now, it is following the script everybody thought would

:00:51. > :00:56.happen. Rudisha at the front. stretching it out there. He is

:00:56. > :01:05.looking for a decent, solid at 52nd a kind of time. Kaki is following

:01:05. > :01:13.him. 49.2, that is a phenomenal opening, and he knows about

:01:13. > :01:19.performances. There have been world records set in the Olympic Games in

:01:19. > :01:23.the 800 metres. That is a bit quick for Andrew Osagie. But Rudisha, the

:01:23. > :01:28.great athlete that he is... They are sucked in to dine with him down

:01:28. > :01:35.the back straight, can they hang on? They are all starting to fade.

:01:35. > :01:40.That is really quite! Amos moves into second place. Kitum is moving

:01:40. > :01:46.into third, Andrew Osagie is at the back, but it is all about David

:01:46. > :01:50.Rudisha, already the world record holder, already the world champion.

:01:50. > :02:00.Striking a way to become the Olympic champion. How quick will it

:02:00. > :02:10.

:02:10. > :02:17.be? That is a world record! ever 800 metres race anyone has

:02:17. > :02:27.ever run, that I have ever seen, obviously. What a privilege to be

:02:27. > :02:43.

:02:43. > :02:47.here. All on his own, done to take. champion. He talked a lot about the

:02:47. > :02:51.Olympic Games, and what he could do, he would like to put on her show,

:02:51. > :02:56.and in the last few weeks he started to play that down a bit.

:02:56. > :03:03.That was just to take the pressure off. I have to say, Amos, an

:03:03. > :03:06.incredible run for him in silver. I am going to tell you this, you will

:03:06. > :03:16.see the results are shorter, but all 80 men have either run a

:03:16. > :03:23.

:03:23. > :03:29.season's best, or a personal best - phenomenal performance. He is going

:03:29. > :03:38.to be so delighted. But we were delighted to watch... Look at a

:03:38. > :03:43.mast chasing him, everybody knew he was going to do, he ran 49.2 for

:03:43. > :03:48.the opening 400 metres. Into the finishing straight, striding along,

:03:48. > :03:55.Amos is finishing so quickly. Never, ever threatening, but that was

:03:55. > :04:00.fantastic running by David Rudisha. The pride of the Masai wins the

:04:00. > :04:05.Olympic Games in a world record time. I said at the start, he

:04:05. > :04:10.didn't mind being the second act to Usain Bolt, but it wasn't a bad

:04:10. > :04:16.second act, was it? What a brilliant run-out. The athlete that

:04:16. > :04:22.everyone admires, a fantastic man as well. We have been sitting here,

:04:22. > :04:28.privileged to watch this, power and strength and performance. Trained

:04:28. > :04:34.by an Irish priest, managed by an Australian, the pride of the Masai,

:04:34. > :04:41.David Rudisha, the pride of the stadium here. The star, so far, of

:04:41. > :04:51.the Olympic Games, the only world record we have had so far. I have

:04:51. > :04:51.

:04:51. > :04:56.just got the split times, 23 for the first 200, 25 for the second

:04:56. > :05:03.200, and 26.1 for the last 200. That is what a world record looks

:05:03. > :05:10.like. He is the greatest. I am still struggling for words, I have

:05:10. > :05:15.to tell you. Not just because of his performance, because I think we

:05:15. > :05:25.have always known that this man can go under 1.41 day, but the

:05:25. > :05:31.performances behind him, simply stunning. I will go through all of

:05:31. > :05:37.this for you. That is a world record to take the gold medal. Amos,

:05:37. > :05:41.a new national record, that puts him a joint third on the all-time

:05:41. > :05:47.list. That is the same time as Sebastian Coe broke the world

:05:47. > :05:52.record all those years ago, and he is only 18. The 17-year-old takes

:05:52. > :05:58.the bronze medal, a personal best for Timothy Kitum. Duane Solomon

:05:58. > :06:04.has just missed the American record by less than two-tenths of a second.

:06:04. > :06:08.A massive personal best for Nick Symmonds in 5th. A new national

:06:08. > :06:17.record for Ethiopia in sick for Muhammad are mine. A season's best

:06:17. > :06:27.for Kaki, and Andrew Osagie, a big, big new personal best for him. He

:06:27. > :06:28.

:06:28. > :06:32.He can indeed, I think that puts you 4th in the UK all-time list. To

:06:32. > :06:39.be part of that occasion, that world record, for you to deliver

:06:39. > :06:43.bad performance, some it all up for me if you can? Any other Olympics...

:06:43. > :06:47.Those times would normally get medals in any other championship,

:06:47. > :06:50.because David is in such form, people were predicting he might go

:06:50. > :06:55.for a world record, everybody thought he might try, but didn't

:06:55. > :07:00.think he would actually do it! It was an honour to be in that race, I

:07:00. > :07:03.have come to the Olympics, I have run aid PB, I have run quicker than

:07:03. > :07:07.I wanted to come, but I have come last, so mixed emotions at the

:07:07. > :07:12.moment. When you see that kind of performance and all the youngsters

:07:12. > :07:17.coming through, what does that do for you coming forward, would you

:07:17. > :07:21.need to do to build on this fantastic Olympics you have had?

:07:21. > :07:25.final was on Tuesday, trying to get through, it was such a big run for

:07:25. > :07:30.me, I knew I was in the shape to run well in the final if I could

:07:30. > :07:36.get there. I got there, a ran a PB, but it wasn't the performance I

:07:36. > :07:40.wanted. What is going through your mind when you see him tearing off

:07:40. > :07:45.like that and you have to hang in there? I was hoping everybody would

:07:45. > :07:49.come back to me a bit more, I ran quicker than I've ever had through

:07:49. > :07:55.600, I thought they would come back, but it is the Olympics and everyone

:07:55. > :08:01.gives it their all. On the day I wasn't quick enough. Great effort.

:08:01. > :08:06.Can I just thank everyone again, my family, my coach, thank you, that

:08:06. > :08:16.is about it, really. I have had a great time. Watch out for me in the

:08:16. > :08:17.

:08:17. > :08:23.A personal best, but he was simply the best and you call deer to it,

:08:23. > :08:28.Denise, that is the moment he went in the athletics world to being

:08:29. > :08:35.beyond that. A I'm still tingling, it was just such an incredible race

:08:35. > :08:42.to witness. We have seen him in the Diamond League, to run the way he

:08:42. > :08:47.has run here, having had to warm up, cool down, get himself into shape,

:08:47. > :08:53.is truly sensational, it is incredible. What he can go and do

:08:53. > :08:57.now is it inspire a whole new generation of younger David

:08:57. > :09:03.Rudishas, who want to have this opportunity to shine on the world

:09:03. > :09:09.stage. Unlike Steve, the thing that was so incredible was not just his

:09:09. > :09:14.time, but the entire field. Normally an 800 metres at this

:09:14. > :09:18.point is so spread out. Rudisha actually served as the rabbit for

:09:18. > :09:24.all of these guys, which is incredible, people do more to a

:09:24. > :09:30.personal best, national records, just an incredible, a high quality

:09:30. > :09:34.race. We don't see that many of these in the 800 metres, that is

:09:34. > :09:42.normally a race that is so tactical, it is a difficult race to get the

:09:42. > :09:48.tactics rice. Often you will see 1.45 in the championships. So this

:09:48. > :09:53.is just incredible, what we saw here tonight. I have to disagree,

:09:53. > :09:57.unfortunately, I think for David Rudisha, who is such an incredible

:09:57. > :10:01.athlete, this sport has not allowed to many people to transcended and

:10:02. > :10:07.become a celebrity in the wider public. It is a huge problem I have,

:10:07. > :10:11.because it is the responsibility of the sport to showcase incredible

:10:11. > :10:17.athletes to the world. I have decided irrespective of that,

:10:17. > :10:23.whatever happens in the men's 200 metres, that will dwarf what has

:10:23. > :10:31.just happened in the papers tomorrow. That is the nature of it.

:10:31. > :10:36.Maybe not, because Bolt has already one the -- won the 100, so...

:10:36. > :10:40.thing is, you're talking about very different personalities. David

:10:40. > :10:46.Rudisha is mild-mannered, he is a wonderful ambassador for his

:10:46. > :10:49.country, a Masai warrior of, Bolt brings a whole different package to

:10:49. > :10:50.this party. We just need to respect this party. We just need to respect

:10:50. > :11:00.both of them for the great both of them for the great

:11:00. > :11:01.

:11:01. > :11:05.individuals they are. The medal and ceremony is taking place, so it is

:11:05. > :11:10.a good time to say go deep into Lawrence Clarke who ran so

:11:10. > :11:17.brilliantly last night. I'm sure you have been inundated with

:11:17. > :11:22.messages saying well done. It is even more surreal watching it here

:11:22. > :11:27.tonight, these are the people who inspired me. The last day has been

:11:27. > :11:37.a roller-coaster of emotions. To come 4th has been a dream come true.

:11:37. > :11:45.There we have, one of the American medallists from last night. Clarke

:11:45. > :11:52.came 4th, although I have to say, with a 17-year-old and an 18-year-

:11:52. > :11:57.old, in that 800 metres, you are over the hill! The peak years are a

:11:57. > :12:04.bit later, Colin broke the world record when he was 27. So the next

:12:04. > :12:08.Olympic Games is my target, I will be 26. You didn't expect to be in

:12:08. > :12:12.the final, so before you get to the blocks, what do you think?

:12:12. > :12:19.didn't know what to think, to be honest. I really didn't expect to

:12:19. > :12:25.be there. I just wanted to focus on the 10 hurdles. I clashed arms with

:12:25. > :12:30.the guy next to me, it put me off a little bit, I couldn't believe I'd

:12:30. > :12:35.be up to the world champion on the finish line. I'm glad to hear you

:12:35. > :12:40.didn't have anything in your mind, I think that is good. No baggage,

:12:40. > :12:46.you were free, it was a clean hurdles race. All round, needed a

:12:46. > :12:50.great job. That may have even benefited you, because you were not

:12:50. > :12:55.expecting to be there, I thought before, this will be a tremendous

:12:55. > :13:01.amount of fun for you, the other guys are going to run a tight, D

:13:01. > :13:07.think that helped? I was hoping they would do the same thing as

:13:07. > :13:17.they did in Daegu, and I would slip it in the outside! That did happen

:13:17. > :13:22.in Daegu! Andy Turner, I ran 13.34 last night, but it is one of those

:13:22. > :13:30.events where anything can happen, as you saw in the first round.

:13:30. > :13:36.will be at your peak in Rio, we look forward to seeing you there.

:13:36. > :13:41.We have got the 200 final starting shortly, steeped in history, Tommy

:13:41. > :13:48.Smith winning it in 1968, the first time anybody ran under 20 seconds,

:13:48. > :13:58.but that is a third night for the significance, it provided one of

:13:58. > :14:04.

:14:04. > :14:12.The archive is well served a writ comes to the story of the civil

:14:12. > :14:22.rights struggle in the US. The struggle would travel south to

:14:22. > :14:27.

:14:27. > :14:37.Tommy Smith and John Carlos, about to be spread by an Australian. --

:14:37. > :14:39.

:14:39. > :14:43.The two Americans were about to make their stand. But what of the

:14:43. > :14:48.silver medallist, Peter Norman? Alongside his medal, a badge

:14:48. > :14:53.supporting the cause. It was Norman who suggested, when Carlos forgot

:14:53. > :15:03.his black gloves, that they share them. One on the left hand, one on

:15:03. > :15:06.

:15:06. > :15:11.Smith and Carlos were sent home from the Games, and Norman returned

:15:11. > :15:17.to Australia to be rebuked and ostracised. He was banned for two

:15:18. > :15:20.years. This was the badge that could cost him dear. Despite

:15:20. > :15:27.returning to athletics and qualifying for the next Olympics,

:15:27. > :15:31.he was not selected. His time of plenty 0.06 still stands as the

:15:31. > :15:41.Australian record. He fell on hard times, and when he died at the age

:15:41. > :15:42.

:15:42. > :15:52.of 64, Smith and Carlos were They had told him what they planned

:15:52. > :15:59.to do in Mexico City, and he had replied - I will stand by you.

:15:59. > :16:04.It is a great story, and kids grows was over here last year. -- Tommie

:16:04. > :16:10.Smith was over here last year. He spoke with such dignity. His

:16:10. > :16:16.position went beyond the sporting world. Absolutely. He was really

:16:16. > :16:22.the architect of that entire thing. The Black Power salute. He got John

:16:23. > :16:26.Carlos involved in it. Those guys, Tommie Smith knew when he did that

:16:27. > :16:30.that there would be problems back home, and certainly their work,

:16:30. > :16:35.they were actually sent home from the Games, they were shunned, they

:16:35. > :16:38.could not get jobs. It was a very difficult time in America, but what

:16:38. > :16:45.they did, in standing up for something they believe in, was

:16:45. > :16:50.incredible. Additionally, Tommie Smith was an incredible athlete at

:16:51. > :16:59.both 200m and 400m. A quality individual. Someone in American

:16:59. > :17:06.history who is a hero. Absolutely, he is a hero, and John Carlos as

:17:06. > :17:12.well. They were phenomenal athletes, but also individuals who put the

:17:13. > :17:17.civil rights issue in America ahead of themselves. I think as a young

:17:17. > :17:21.kid, understanding and learning about the sport, that salute on the

:17:21. > :17:26.podium was just iconic. As you start to learn your history, and

:17:26. > :17:30.American history, it resonated for any young black person at the time,

:17:30. > :17:35.it did not matter whether you were in the US or in Britain. There were

:17:35. > :17:40.such struggles going on, and that salute in itself just said, we do

:17:40. > :17:50.not forget. 46 years on, just a quick word, where is everybody at

:17:50. > :17:51.

:17:51. > :17:59.the moment? How much time do we have? 40 minutes. They will be

:17:59. > :18:08.leaving the warm-up track, going to have all of their chicks, -- checks,

:18:08. > :18:11.they will probably be on the warm- up track. 37 minutes and counting

:18:11. > :18:21.until the most eagerly awaited event of the evening. And they have

:18:21. > :18:26.got some act to follow, after what David Rudisha did in the Men's 800m.

:18:26. > :18:36.But before that, we have some interesting women's relay heats,

:18:36. > :18:39.

:18:39. > :18:47.which sadly do not feature a will explain more about that later

:18:47. > :18:51.on. But here are the line-ups. Great Britain were ranked highly

:18:51. > :18:56.enough, they thought, after their heat in the European Championships,

:18:56. > :19:05.but they were eventually disqualified, down into 17th place

:19:05. > :19:15.in the rankings, so did not qualify for these Olympic Games. The USA,

:19:15. > :19:23.

:19:23. > :19:28.in lane two, outside them, Nigeria. Next comes Trinidad and Tobago.

:19:28. > :19:33.Baptiste, a veteran of so many Olympic Games and World

:19:33. > :19:40.Championships, on the second leg. Japan have certain national record

:19:40. > :19:50.this year. Switzerland, with the two sisters are among their ranks.

:19:50. > :19:57.

:19:57. > :20:01.Brazil, out in lane seven. Then the Netherlands. Samuel, a very good

:20:01. > :20:07.young sprinter on the last leg for them. The Bahamas have got a

:20:07. > :20:17.veteran, believe it or not, from the time they won this event back

:20:17. > :20:18.

:20:18. > :20:21.in 2000, Sturrup by, on the second leg. The United States have got

:20:21. > :20:27.Williams on the last leg. If they make it through to the final, they

:20:27. > :20:33.have got the likes of Allyson Felix to come into the team. So strong in

:20:33. > :20:39.the women's sprints. Only the first three and the fastest two losers

:20:39. > :20:49.from the semi-finals will make it through to the final. The USA have

:20:49. > :20:59.

:20:59. > :21:04.Ferguson from the Bahamas has gone absolutely blasting off, as has the

:21:05. > :21:14.American. But what about the first change? The USA are OK, so while

:21:15. > :21:15.

:21:15. > :21:19.the Bahamas. The Americans are absolutely flying. Their third

:21:19. > :21:29.runner gets the baton safely. She goes tearing past Trinidad and

:21:29. > :21:32.

:21:32. > :21:35.bringing the baton home. This is going to be quick. America,

:21:35. > :21:40.Trinidad and Tobago and the Netherlands will qualify for the

:21:40. > :21:46.final. That's only five hundredths of a second outside of East

:21:46. > :21:51.Germany's Olympic record, and that was set back in Moscow, way back in

:21:51. > :21:58.1980. That was a stunning run by the USA, with some of their second-

:21:58. > :22:04.string runners in the quartet. That was brilliant.

:22:04. > :22:09.COLIN JACKSON: How scary is that?! Blistering pace displayed by the

:22:09. > :22:13.USA, and very, very good baton changes. I was wondering whether

:22:13. > :22:17.they were going to go off a little bit too quick, but you could see,

:22:18. > :22:27.they were spot on. There was a bit of white take on the floor, which

:22:27. > :22:31.is exactly where Williams took off, and boy, did she take off?! 41.64,

:22:31. > :22:39.the winning time, and they have made it clear, they are here to

:22:39. > :22:45.take the gold medal. Every single runner in this team will be

:22:45. > :22:49.thinking, I could be in the final, and want to keep my place. So they

:22:49. > :22:59.are working hard not to make any mistakes, to keep everything as

:22:59. > :23:06.

:23:06. > :23:10.mistakes are made, no medals are given out in the semi-finals. The

:23:10. > :23:18.United States have made it clear that they can be safe and fast. It

:23:18. > :23:27.was a brilliant run. That certainly makes amends for four years ago,

:23:27. > :23:33.when they did not even make it through the heats. And this was the

:23:33. > :23:38.fourth fastest time in history, let alone the Olympic Games. I don't

:23:38. > :23:43.know what I would do if I was the American coach, because those four

:23:43. > :23:53.athletes obviously worked very well together. Do I bring in somebody

:23:53. > :23:57.

:23:57. > :24:03.Taylor, the favourite for this event, the world champion, needs to

:24:03. > :24:11.get one in... Oh, he has. Let me tell you, that is not a nice

:24:11. > :24:21.position to be in. I do not blame him for being that far behind the

:24:21. > :24:26.

:24:26. > :24:33.board. The lead is still held by Will Claye from the second round.

:24:33. > :24:36.Taylor, well, he has got into the final three jumps.

:24:36. > :24:43.STEVE CRAM: I have popped downstairs, so many people are

:24:43. > :24:51.talking about this race. A brilliant run from David Rudisha,

:24:51. > :24:57.and he spoke to Phil Jones. Congratulations, What a Performance

:24:57. > :25:01.- a world record and gold medal, can you describe the moment? I am

:25:02. > :25:07.very happy. I have been waiting for this for a very long time. To come

:25:07. > :25:11.here and do this is unbelievable. To plan to win the gold medal is

:25:11. > :25:16.one thing, to plan to do it with a world record is another - how long

:25:16. > :25:19.has it been in the making? I had no doubt about winning, but I was

:25:19. > :25:24.waiting for perfect conditions to break the world record. I knew that

:25:24. > :25:28.this year, I was in the shape to do it. But today, the weather was

:25:28. > :25:34.beautiful, so I decided just to go for it. You have done it for your

:25:34. > :25:41.dad, who won silver in 1968, and also for Sebastian Coe. Sebastian

:25:41. > :25:47.Coe is a very good friend of mine. I was here in February, he told me

:25:47. > :25:57.what I could do, and he brought me around the stadium. I said I wanted

:25:57. > :26:10.

:26:10. > :26:15.USA there. Brazil and Nigeria, we will have to wait and see whether

:26:15. > :26:18.they can go through as a fastest loser, but it was a very, very

:26:18. > :26:28.quick time by the nine-times champion's the USA. Christian

:26:28. > :26:38.

:26:38. > :26:46.Taylor will be very relieved to get gold medal jump he has gone way

:26:46. > :26:56.past. We saw in Daegu last year that this man can compete. I

:26:56. > :27:04.thought Idowu had won the world title last year, and then this man

:27:04. > :27:08.did 17.96. He has shown here this evening once again what he can do.

:27:08. > :27:16.PAUL DICKENSON: He absolutely nailed that, and that could be a

:27:16. > :27:26.gold medal for Christian Taylor. STEVE CRAM: Well, that was a quick

:27:26. > :27:31.

:27:31. > :27:40.first semi-final, and these teams know what they have to do. Two

:27:40. > :27:46.fastest losers' spots, but Jamaica will not be looking for that.

:27:46. > :27:56.Veronica Campbell-Brown and Shelly- Ann Fraser Price are not here, so

:27:56. > :28:05.

:28:05. > :28:12.they will be hoping that this obviously a fast track, and as

:28:12. > :28:22.David Rudisha said, it is a lovely night. Jamaica, in lane six, Russia

:28:22. > :28:32.

:28:32. > :28:36.outside them. Germany will go well get the baton round safely, as they

:28:36. > :28:40.did in that first heat. Jamaica have started well. That was not the

:28:40. > :28:44.best of changes, however. The Russians have had a nightmare! They

:28:44. > :28:54.might get a red flag, we will have to wait and see. Jamaica leading at

:28:54. > :29:04.the moment. That's terrible! Germany going well in nine. Ukraine

:29:04. > :29:05.

:29:05. > :29:15.have come into it. It could be Ukraine... It is going to be close.

:29:15. > :29:22.

:29:22. > :29:32.Jamaica get it. That was 42.35, with horrible changeovers. We saw

:29:32. > :29:38.some horrible changeovers. Germany probably had the most trouble-free

:29:38. > :29:45.run, in third. Let's see if Colin can sort this out. We think Jamaica

:29:45. > :29:50.might have gone out... I think their third runner went off a bit

:29:50. > :29:56.too soon, her arm was all over the place, she was not focusing. I

:29:56. > :30:01.think she may have just got the baton in time, and then tidied it

:30:01. > :30:08.up in time, but if there is a red flag, they will be scrutinising it

:30:08. > :30:12.very closely. Jamaica were totally relying on leg speed, relying on

:30:12. > :30:22.their athletes being faster than the others. They have ended up

:30:22. > :30:26.

:30:26. > :30:30.qualifying, but only just. Out of the blocks, it was a really nice

:30:30. > :30:39.first leg. She did her job very well indeed. But even this

:30:39. > :30:49.changeover here, it was a really safe effort. Simpson going down the

:30:49. > :30:50.

:30:50. > :31:00.back straight, passes it on, but watch this... Give me the baton!

:31:00. > :31:10.

:31:10. > :31:14.Thank you very much! Just got it in not stable, and it is a very

:31:14. > :31:18.difficult when you are moving at speed, if someone is moving their

:31:18. > :31:26.hand, that is the target you are trying to aim for. But they got

:31:26. > :31:31.away with it this time. She tries to grab instead of keeping it,

:31:31. > :31:37.Simpson is saying to herself, what are you doing?! They will not want

:31:37. > :31:42.to do this in the final. Not if they want to have any chance of

:31:42. > :31:47.beating the United States. The US are looking very strong at the

:31:47. > :31:52.moment. Jamaica have Fraser-Pryce to bring in, maybe Campbell-Brown,

:31:52. > :31:55.who has not been running so well, it will be interesting to see what

:31:55. > :32:02.team lines up for them, but they have the ability to be quicker than

:32:02. > :32:12.that. We saw that from that changeover if nothing else. So they

:32:12. > :32:18.

:32:18. > :32:28.round the outside. The fastest losers will come from the first

:32:28. > :32:28.

:32:28. > :32:32.Just over 22 minutes until Bolt against Blake and the rest of. Let

:32:32. > :32:38.me show you a bit more read a footage, a very different kind.

:32:38. > :32:48.This is what happened this morning in the heats. Look at the man in

:32:48. > :32:54.

:32:54. > :32:59.first 200 metres with two legs, and the last with one leg. He broke his

:32:59. > :33:05.leg at the 200 metres mark. You can see he is running in an awkward

:33:05. > :33:09.fashion. In his quiet afterwards he said he actually felt his leg break

:33:09. > :33:19.at the 200 metres point, and the first thought that came into his

:33:19. > :33:26.mind was, I have got to finish. That is a great team mate to have!

:33:26. > :33:33.Running on a broken leg! Just very quickly, the British men ran pretty

:33:33. > :33:38.well this morning. They did, very well indeed. All the legs, they ran

:33:38. > :33:44.grade, but in particular for me, Jack Green was superb. I think he

:33:44. > :33:48.clocked the fastest of the four dies. Moving on, this is a subject

:33:48. > :33:54.that doesn't get raised very often, but the fact is, not a single white

:33:54. > :34:03.athlete has contested the men's 100 metres final for 32 years in the

:34:03. > :34:11.Olympics. The only one is Christophe Lemaitre or, who is

:34:11. > :34:21.running tonight. So it brings the whole issue of nature or nurture

:34:21. > :34:23.

:34:23. > :34:30.In a man -- November 1859, when Origin of species by Charles Darwin

:34:31. > :34:37.was published, it was condensed by Herbert Spencer, survival of the

:34:37. > :34:40.fittest. Darwin wrote, by means of natural selection. But it wasn't

:34:40. > :34:46.long before scientists were experimenting with less natural

:34:46. > :34:51.means. They wanted to accelerate an evolutionary process. Eugenics was

:34:51. > :34:56.the science of improving the genetic composition of a population.

:34:56. > :35:02.There was a negative side, the elimination of defective this, who

:35:02. > :35:09.corrupted the gene pool. The most distorted manifestation of this was

:35:09. > :35:13.Nazi Germany. Hitler thought he could breed the Aryan race. Through

:35:13. > :35:19.eugenics, those deemed undesirable, the promiscuous, Communists, the

:35:19. > :35:29.Roma, the entire Jewish race, could be exterminated. Genetic cleansing

:35:29. > :35:31.

:35:31. > :35:35.In this room will be discussed and resolved the vital issues between

:35:35. > :35:39.which the East and West are divided. After a second world war the EU

:35:39. > :35:43.very short -- Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirmed that men

:35:43. > :35:48.and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality

:35:48. > :35:54.or religion, have the right to marry and found a family. And that

:35:54. > :35:59.should have been that, the end of the dangerous idea. But two things

:35:59. > :36:05.happened. The first had already happened, back in 1936 at the

:36:05. > :36:10.Berlin Olympic Games. Hitler's supposed showpiece for his ideas.

:36:10. > :36:15.Making a mockery of Nazi ideology with it -- his achievements was to

:36:15. > :36:20.see a wins, the winner of four gold medals. Ironically, this destroyer

:36:20. > :36:25.of the Aryan myth was an oppressed schism in his own land. Born in

:36:25. > :36:29.Alabama in what was called the segregated South. The lot of the

:36:29. > :36:33.black man in America would barely improved over the next 32 years.

:36:33. > :36:42.Tommie Smith and John Carlos chose the Olympic rostrum in Mexico City

:36:42. > :36:52.to demonstrate just that. We wanted to symbolise that we are at a meet

:36:52. > :36:53.

:36:53. > :37:01.in track and field, we are black Black power, that is the second

:37:01. > :37:10.thing. But the past 80 years, -- for the past 80 years, sprint

:37:10. > :37:15.events have been dominated by black athletes. From Jesse Owens to Usain

:37:15. > :37:20.Bolt and Yohan Blake right now. The there have been Dwight winners, but

:37:20. > :37:25.only one white sprinter has ever run under 10 seconds for the 100

:37:25. > :37:29.metres, Christophe Lemaitre, and he is a long way behind the Jamaicans.

:37:29. > :37:34.Even those who have one the Best Of Canada or Britain, just about all

:37:34. > :37:40.of them can trace their ancestry back to West Africa. That is, to

:37:40. > :37:45.slaves. And here we come back to eugenics, the theory of accelerated

:37:45. > :37:51.selection. Who was it that survived being put in shackles, packed into

:37:51. > :37:59.slave ships and taken across the ocean? Who was it who survived the

:37:59. > :38:02.sugar plantations? Of the fittest. Only the fittest could survive. The

:38:02. > :38:08.latest suggestion it in the science of sprinting is that you need be

:38:08. > :38:13.none muted version of the skeleton of muscle gene, who could argue

:38:13. > :38:20.with that? Except, given what are sometimes come out of the

:38:20. > :38:24.laboratory for sprinters, we should perhaps remain a little sceptical.

:38:25. > :38:29.The point is, the scientists are back in the gene pool, fishing. Is

:38:29. > :38:35.it dangerous? Do we know where it will lead? Gene doping is the next

:38:35. > :38:40.great fear or among people who were trying to keep sport clean. But now,

:38:40. > :38:45.we are no where near saying that child X will win one day because he

:38:45. > :38:50.has inherited the right cocktail of genes. For the moment we are as

:38:50. > :38:54.unpredictable and full of mystery as ever. As Darwin said, from so

:38:54. > :39:04.simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful

:39:04. > :39:06.

:39:06. > :39:10.have been and are being involved. - - evolved. Fascinating stuff. I'm

:39:10. > :39:16.sure all the kids at home are saying I don't want to do biology

:39:16. > :39:20.until September! Colleen, your Oram authority on this, what is your

:39:20. > :39:25.take? I was lucky to be part of a BBC programme where they took

:39:25. > :39:31.biopsies, etc, to see what my genetic make-up was. One of the

:39:31. > :39:35.things we found out was that what I had was I had a fast stretch

:39:35. > :39:41.muscles, and when they cross- referenced with other Afro-American

:39:41. > :39:47.and Caribbean athletes, it was about 98% of the whole genetic pool

:39:47. > :39:52.had this type of musculature. About 80% of European -- white European

:39:52. > :39:56.athletes had this as well, and the ability to run fast. So they put it

:39:56. > :40:01.down to the fact that it is more about the merger, because we

:40:01. > :40:06.haven't quite found the white man yet he was got blonde hair and blue

:40:06. > :40:12.eyes he can do it. Are we at the point that if you were a talented

:40:12. > :40:18.athlete at 14, 15, there is almost an institutional programme that

:40:18. > :40:23.brings you will be able to compete at the highest level in the sprint?

:40:23. > :40:28.I don't fix it, I did a programme on this as well, we looked at the

:40:28. > :40:30.slave trade and how that may have affected genes, we interviewed a

:40:30. > :40:34.lot of scientists and historians and they all have different

:40:34. > :40:40.philosophies. At the end of the day, what we come back to is no matter

:40:40. > :40:43.what the situation, you may be predisposed to being a sprinter or

:40:43. > :40:48.have the talent to be a sprinter, but doesn't necessarily mean you

:40:48. > :40:52.are going to get there. There are so many different factors that

:40:52. > :40:56.played into whether an athlete will succeed or not and whether they

:40:56. > :41:02.will alter it to reach their full potential. If you're playing the

:41:02. > :41:06.laws of probability, if a two people have broken 10 seconds, 81

:41:06. > :41:10.of them are black, surely that is so overwhelming it is

:41:10. > :41:15.incontrovertible. It is not. Because look at Jamaica, for

:41:15. > :41:18.example. There is no doubt about that part of the reason Jamaica has

:41:18. > :41:23.such great sprinters in that tiny country, you cannot deny the fact

:41:23. > :41:28.that not only is athletics the national sport, sprinting is the

:41:28. > :41:32.national sport, so kids grow up seeing sprinters will look like

:41:32. > :41:36.them, who come from the same neighbourhoods they come from,

:41:36. > :41:42.those of their role models and heroes. If you have that same

:41:42. > :41:47.situation with white sprinters, if you have a five Christophe

:41:47. > :41:50.Lemaitres, and they are heroes in that neighbourhood, in that

:41:50. > :41:54.community, those kids are going to want to do that as well. The more

:41:54. > :42:02.you decide you want to follow that path are more likely you are to

:42:02. > :42:05.find them. Genes can contribute, and if you have a version of the

:42:06. > :42:12.gene, you have a slight advantage in terms of your probability to

:42:12. > :42:15.become a great sprinter, but doesn't mean you are going to be.

:42:15. > :42:22.Denise, you're desperate to get in. I was going to ask whether climate

:42:22. > :42:27.has a part to play, warm conditions, environment, as you clearly said,

:42:27. > :42:32.motivation by fellow athletes, the inspiration... I think the

:42:32. > :42:37.environment certainly has something to do with it, access to facilities,

:42:37. > :42:43.coaching, all of those things, motivation. Live pictures here from

:42:43. > :42:47.the warm-up track. There is the man. It is getting nearer and nearer to

:42:47. > :42:52.the moment of truth for him and Blake. It must be interesting

:42:52. > :42:56.walking down the street with Usain Bolt, in an area with a lot of CCTV.

:42:56. > :43:04.He seems to know exactly where every camera is the meetings to be

:43:04. > :43:11.looking for them wherever he goes. And he has got big guns, to! That

:43:11. > :43:20.is to tutor! Fattest nature and nurture. That is all a larger. I

:43:20. > :43:26.cannot do that. It is Frank Lampard! Goodness me, and next door

:43:26. > :43:29.to one of the Chelsea's most famous fans, Seb Coe on his left. The

:43:29. > :43:37.Premier League season starts in nine days' time. There is a

:43:37. > :43:42.thought! The Charity Shield is on Sunday. But anyway, please, the

:43:42. > :43:45.Olympic Games, carrying on for another three days. In terms of the

:43:45. > :43:52.other seven, we talked a bit about Blake, but we have forgotten the

:43:52. > :43:55.other six. Is there any body in there who can consider a silver

:43:56. > :43:59.medal tonight or are they all going for bronze? They have to be aware

:43:59. > :44:03.that something could happen to one of the big guns, they have to be

:44:03. > :44:08.ready to take advantage. What we have here is an exciting race for

:44:08. > :44:13.the bronze, if we are going to give the gold and silver to Blake and to

:44:13. > :44:18.Bolt. We have got Wallace Spearmon, Christophe Lemaitre from France, we

:44:18. > :44:24.also have the young kid, Warren Weir out of Jamaica. That is going

:44:24. > :44:29.to be a great race behind Bolt and Blake. Those three guys are very

:44:29. > :44:39.evenly matched. Talk about the importance of the lane draw, with

:44:39. > :44:42.

:44:42. > :44:46.The lane draw is going to be interesting, and I think Lemaitre

:44:46. > :44:52.is the man who's going to suffer the most from it. He is drawn in

:44:52. > :44:56.lane two. He might struggle to get his long legs around the bend. But

:44:56. > :44:59.it is similar to the Jamaican Championships, and Yohan Blake

:44:59. > :45:04.managed to sneak up on Usain Bolt when it really mattered, coming

:45:04. > :45:09.towards the line. So, Usain Bolt will know this, he has been here

:45:09. > :45:13.before with Yohan Blake, and I think he will enjoy this. He will

:45:13. > :45:19.go for it and say, OK, if you want this title, you're going to have to

:45:19. > :45:26.catch me. When did Ecuador last have a top international sprinter?

:45:27. > :45:31.They have altitude, which maybe helps. Actually, Quinonez has done

:45:31. > :45:35.very well, he has saved his best performances for the Olympic Games.

:45:35. > :45:42.But back to the lane draw, I think Wallace Spearmon is in the best

:45:42. > :45:49.position. Weir is in the worst, he has got Bolt just behind him, out

:45:49. > :45:53.in lane eight. I don't think it is that take that it is going to

:45:53. > :45:58.actually cause him any trouble getting round the bend. He knows

:45:58. > :46:08.exactly what he needs to do. sure a lot of people watching will

:46:08. > :46:16.say, there are nine lanes - why are they not using the outside two?

:46:16. > :46:22.is just that lane one is very tight. So, you give everybody a little bit

:46:22. > :46:27.of relief, by moving them outwards. You can see the stadium now. Dusk

:46:27. > :46:31.is falling at the moment, and we are building up to the main event

:46:31. > :46:34.of the evening, the Men's 200m Final. It is a busy night in the

:46:34. > :46:38.Olympic Park, with Great Britain player in the Netherlands in the

:46:38. > :46:41.semi-finals of the hockey. They're fighting for the right to play

:46:41. > :46:46.Germany, who played some unbelievable hockey this afternoon,

:46:46. > :46:53.in beating Australia. Something you cannot quite see in that picture,

:46:53. > :47:03.up to the right, up at Wembley Stadium, the final of the Women's

:47:03. > :47:22.

:47:23. > :47:28.Football, that's Japan against the United States. We have got the

:47:28. > :47:34.women's javelin taking place tonight, and you can also follow,

:47:34. > :47:38.if you wish, the final of the Men's Triple Jump. I always think it is

:47:38. > :47:42.quite old fashioned to see the man carrying a sign like that. It is no

:47:42. > :47:50.different from the old footage of the Olympic Games! Anyway, here

:47:50. > :47:56.they come. A great reception for these great athletes. Seven minutes

:47:56. > :48:01.to go - what tactics is Blake going to employ, Michael? I think he is

:48:01. > :48:04.in a good position, being behind Bolt, so he can see him. He is

:48:04. > :48:11.going to try to run him down. He will want to make sure that Bolt

:48:11. > :48:16.does not get too far ahead, but he is not going to try to come off the

:48:16. > :48:20.curved ahead of ball macro, he will try to come off even with him, and

:48:20. > :48:25.then hope that all the training he does, he will try to use that

:48:25. > :48:31.coming down the home stretch to try to catch Bolt. The only problem for

:48:31. > :48:35.him - Bolt might already be gone. This is all happening in just over

:48:35. > :48:43.19 seconds - how are you able to formulate these tactical ideas in

:48:43. > :48:47.your mind, running at that speed? How do you assimilate that

:48:47. > :48:52.information and assess the race? That is the brilliance of being a

:48:52. > :48:59.sprinter, and what is so amazing about sprinters. We marvel at

:48:59. > :49:03.sprinters, at what we see, but what you do not see his incredible, the

:49:03. > :49:08.analysis which is going on during the race, and the assessments which

:49:08. > :49:13.are going on. That's why I am such a great analyst here, because of

:49:13. > :49:19.all of the analysis that will have had to do! I have worked hard

:49:20. > :49:26.analysing those competitors out there! So, this is a breeze. That

:49:26. > :49:31.is why you're leaving us, and going to the commentary box! Colin, in

:49:31. > :49:38.terms of how you expect this race to pan out this evening, is it a

:49:38. > :49:44.two-horse race? I believe it is. Usain Bolt has always said he wants

:49:44. > :49:48.to win this title, he wants to retain his 200m crown. In the

:49:48. > :49:53.Jamaican Championships, after Yohan Blake beat him, he said something

:49:53. > :50:03.really simple, that he would never let that happen again. Well, let's

:50:03. > :50:10.see if that's true. Almost two race is going on within the one. Like

:50:10. > :50:15.Michael says, Wallace Spearmon, if he runs Mocholi, like we know he

:50:15. > :50:19.can, he could really upset what we might consider to be a Jamaican

:50:19. > :50:24.clean sweep. It is going to be interesting. I cannot wait. I will

:50:24. > :50:29.try to stay in my seat, but I cannot promise. You have got form

:50:29. > :50:39.for leaping out of that seat during these Championships! Anyway,

:50:39. > :51:08.

:51:08. > :51:12.JOHN INVERDALE: Well, the world stopped for just under 10 seconds

:51:12. > :51:17.at the weekend, and it is going to stop for double that time, or

:51:17. > :51:21.thereabouts, tonight. Steve Cram is going to describe it.

:51:21. > :51:28.STEVE CRAM: A little word of encouragement, perhaps, to the

:51:28. > :51:35.youngster Warren Weir. So, what are you doing later on? Can you run a

:51:35. > :51:39.little bit? He is so relaxed. It was nice to see the little gesture

:51:40. > :51:49.between these two, the same has happened in the 100m, just a little

:51:50. > :51:55.

:51:55. > :52:04.acknowledgement. The two training partners, friends, and now rivals.

:52:04. > :52:14.So, the Men's 200m Final will line up like this... Well, a false start

:52:14. > :52:52.

:52:52. > :52:58.for us on the start list! Here it here, it is all yellow and green.

:52:58. > :53:04.So much support for him - his family are here, Jamaican flags all

:53:04. > :53:14.round the bend. They look relaxed. I'm sure the nerves are jangling

:53:14. > :53:16.

:53:16. > :53:26.just a little. Just waiting for these last few, anxious moments. It

:53:26. > :53:27.

:53:27. > :53:34.never seems to bother Bolt or Blake. Most people are expecting that Bolt

:53:34. > :53:42.will strike again. Just to talk about the conditions briefly, we

:53:42. > :53:46.have been watching the triple-jump, and the wind has come up a bit.

:53:46. > :53:51.Just looking at some of the jumps in the last couple of rounds, the

:53:51. > :53:55.wind is in their face, which means it will be with these 200m

:53:55. > :54:05.sprinters down the home straight, which augurs well. We have had one

:54:05. > :54:05.

:54:05. > :54:15.world record tonight - are we going to get another? He is watching

:54:15. > :54:21.himself on the big screen. They are playing the semi-finals at the

:54:21. > :54:31.moment. Lemaitre, the Frenchman, who ran brilliantly last year to

:54:31. > :54:32.

:54:32. > :54:42.take the bronze medal at the World Championships. He was four tenths

:54:42. > :54:45.

:54:45. > :54:53.behind Bolt, and that remains Lemaitre's personal best. Can

:54:53. > :54:58.Jamaica get a clean sweep here, or will Lemaitre and Martina, also

:54:58. > :55:04.class, I guess, as a European, he is the European champion,

:55:04. > :55:07.originally from the Dutch Antilles, winning for the Netherlands...? He

:55:07. > :55:15.finished second to Bolt four years ago but was disqualified on that

:55:15. > :55:20.occasion for running out of his lane. There's a great atmosphere

:55:20. > :55:29.here. The flashes are going around already. The crowd are trying to

:55:29. > :55:35.soak up the atmosphere. So, from the inside... The tall, I hesitate

:55:35. > :55:38.to say elegant, figure of Christophe Lemaitre. Because

:55:38. > :55:48.sometimes, it is not the most beautiful sprinting from the

:55:48. > :55:55.

:55:55. > :56:05.Frenchman. Yohan Blake, the world champion at 100m, silver-medallist

:56:05. > :56:22.

:56:22. > :56:30.India Olympic Games, known to most that race, was disqualified. Just

:56:30. > :56:40.listen to this... APPLAUSE AND CHEERING the royal

:56:40. > :56:45.

:56:45. > :56:50.wave from the King of sprinting. 22 years of age, former hurdler now

:56:50. > :57:00.turned world-class sprinter Warren Weir. And on the outside, from

:57:00. > :57:04.

:57:04. > :57:09.South Africa, Jobodwana. Here we go, then. Bolt versus Blake II. This,

:57:09. > :57:19.the event which he started at, the event where he burst onto the scene

:57:19. > :57:19.

:57:19. > :57:23.as a junior, when he was just 15, winning the World Championships.

:57:23. > :57:33.Since then, he has dominated the world of sprinting not only at 200,

:57:33. > :57:40.

:57:40. > :57:50.but also at 100. Silence descends upon the Olympic Stadium. The Men's

:57:50. > :57:58.

:57:58. > :58:02.the blocks really well! Blake has got a lot to do! Look at Bolt go!

:58:02. > :58:09.He leads by three metres, coming into the home straight! Here comes

:58:09. > :58:19.Click. But he is not going to catch him! Bolt is going to do it again!

:58:19. > :58:25.

:58:25. > :58:29.Watch the clock. 19.32. Gold all the way. Well, he is unique. You

:58:29. > :58:38.cannot argue that he has no equal. He is just incomparable in the

:58:38. > :58:45.world of sprinting. The only man ever to have defended the Olympic

:58:45. > :58:49.200m title, and that's just the latest statistic in what is

:58:49. > :58:59.becoming a long, long list of superlative performances for Usain

:58:59. > :59:05.

:59:05. > :59:09.Bolt. Warren Weir has got the bronze. A Jamaican clean sweep. And

:59:09. > :59:19.the man who was brushing them all away at the front, as ever, Usain

:59:19. > :59:24.Bolt. No world record tonight. One of the quickest 200m ever, though.

:59:24. > :59:31.The world record is held by the man sitting next to me, and he did it

:59:31. > :59:36.back in 1996. Just for maybe 10-15 metres, it looked as though Yohan

:59:36. > :59:40.Blake was closing him down, but it was a brilliant blend from Bolt.

:59:40. > :59:50.And what about Warren Weir, with a personal best? What a night for

:59:50. > :00:08.

:00:08. > :00:15.moments to himself. But he never has any privacy. Not before now,

:00:15. > :00:19.and certainly not in the future. His exploits on the track mean that

:00:19. > :00:25.the whole world wants to know his every move and want to listen to

:00:25. > :00:33.his every word. Michael, let's analyse the race. A great start in

:00:33. > :00:39.the 200, and another great start here after the 100. Yohan Blake got

:00:39. > :00:43.up and found that Bolt was already gone. He displayed some speed in

:00:43. > :00:47.this race that I hadn't seen. Starting to Labour a little bit at

:00:47. > :00:53.the end, but he drops his arms and did not need to run through the

:00:53. > :00:56.finish line. He is looking at the clock and he sees it's not going to

:00:57. > :01:01.be a world record, and he knows he is not on the pace, so he

:01:01. > :01:08.celebrates a little bit early. But a great race by eight Usain Bolt

:01:08. > :01:14.nonetheless. And a very good race from Yohan Blake. And then Warren

:01:14. > :01:22.Weir, a sweep for Jamaica for the medals. He takes another look over.

:01:22. > :01:26.He was concerned about Blake. But that is something that shows you a

:01:26. > :01:32.little bit about Bolt in this race, he was a little bit concerned. He

:01:32. > :01:39.knew that Blake would have a better chance of possibly getting ahead of

:01:39. > :01:45.him. He was always confident in the 100 but was concerned with Blake in

:01:45. > :01:51.the 200 because he works harder, and Bolt admits that. But the draw

:01:51. > :01:59.made him more concerned, being out in No. 7, with Blake in four. So he

:01:59. > :02:09.did look for him a few times, but he never found him. Usain Bolt

:02:09. > :02:13.

:02:13. > :02:19.defends his title and takes the 200 run of his career. And the clean

:02:19. > :02:29.sweep completed by young Warren we're, taking the bronze. Us --

:02:29. > :02:44.

:02:44. > :02:49.of journeys to Visa Olympic finals for Usain Bolt. All the conjecture

:02:49. > :02:53.about the state of his fitness which was something that was

:02:53. > :02:59.starting to build, and it did add to the sense of occasion, that

:02:59. > :03:02.perhaps we thought he could get beaten. We have the temerity to

:03:02. > :03:10.just hold the thought for the shortest period of time that

:03:10. > :03:14.perhaps Blake could come and use up -- usurp the great man. You cannot

:03:14. > :03:24.just call him the greatest, because that belongs to Muhammad Ali, so

:03:24. > :03:32.they will have to find some other title for Bolt. But he is, and

:03:32. > :03:35.always will be, standing above the world of sprinting, and maybe in

:03:35. > :03:43.the sport of track and field. I don't know if the sport has ever

:03:43. > :03:47.seen such a hero. Only time will tell. Only time will tell how his

:03:47. > :03:56.exploits argued in the future and how he is compared to the greats

:03:56. > :04:04.such as Jesse Owens. That in terms of his performances, I don't think

:04:04. > :04:09.he can be compared to anyone. And just like the other night, the

:04:09. > :04:19.British fans enjoyed a fantastic hour or so. Somebody will be saying

:04:19. > :04:24.

:04:24. > :04:28.they were there, and it will be the There is always a measure of luck

:04:28. > :04:33.involved in sport, and Yohan Blake might be thinking he is unlucky to

:04:33. > :04:40.be born when he was, because it is just not fair. A great race and an

:04:40. > :04:50.extraordinary exhibition. And was it five times he glanced across,

:04:50. > :04:55.the master to the pupil, to make sure that Blake knew his place? And

:04:56. > :05:00.Bolt's place in history is assured. Denise, you were excited. That was

:05:00. > :05:04.fantastic. The glancing over, I do not know if it was the pupil and

:05:04. > :05:09.teacher, or whether he was worried he was coming, but it was a great

:05:09. > :05:19.race. We just knew it would be a great race like this. It was

:05:19. > :05:28.fantastic to watch, great to see Yohan Blake looking at Warren we're

:05:28. > :05:37.-- a Warren Weir, almost like he That Stadium tonight has seen one

:05:37. > :05:41.of the great athletics races. In 1988 and 1984 there were clean

:05:41. > :05:48.sweeps for the Americans, but now for the Jamaicans. I think the

:05:48. > :05:52.Jamaicans will be very happy. First three in the trials, and they

:05:52. > :05:56.delivered the first three medals. Fantastic to see that. An exciting

:05:56. > :06:02.performance from Usain Bolt, but really only that satisfactory. He

:06:02. > :06:12.knew he was up against it. I think he is saying to his critics,

:06:12. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:16.silence, I have done it. On these occasions you look ahead,

:06:16. > :06:21.irrespective and maybe he will want to find the Swedish handball team

:06:21. > :06:26.at 3am in the morning, but people asked if he can do this again in

:06:27. > :06:34.four years' time, but as we spoke after Beijing, does he think about

:06:34. > :06:38.doing the 400, or nothing to do with athletics? I think people

:06:38. > :06:43.under estimate how smart and in tune with himself he is. That is

:06:43. > :06:53.consistent with most athletes. He knows and understands himself. He

:06:53. > :06:55.

:06:55. > :06:59.knows he does not want to work so close to Usain Bolt before. Not

:06:59. > :07:04.over 200 metres. He was a bit concerned with this, and it shows

:07:04. > :07:10.something about him, in this race, that he knew, and everybody knew,

:07:10. > :07:13.that this was the one where Blake could beat him. He delivered, and

:07:13. > :07:19.that is what I think he was saying when he crossed the line and put

:07:19. > :07:23.his fingers to his lips. He showed that he could run under any

:07:23. > :07:33.circumstances, even if he is not at his best. And he was a little

:07:33. > :07:39.concerned, with those glances over. But the sweep by the Jamaicans is a

:07:39. > :07:42.real loud and clear message. In 2008 in Beijing they took a lot of

:07:42. > :07:50.medals and people thought it was the first time it would happen and

:07:50. > :07:55.it is just a little flash-in-the- pan, but they are here to stay.

:07:55. > :08:01.Here he is, taking pictures. How can you not love Usain Bolt? He is

:08:01. > :08:06.so great for the sport and the Olympic Games. He is the man. You

:08:06. > :08:11.have got to give it to him. He is such a phenomenal athlete, but a

:08:11. > :08:17.great person. He has fun, people love him. This kind of thing is

:08:17. > :08:20.what the sport needs. And the other thing as well, as Blake tries to

:08:20. > :08:25.get in, and I don't blame him because it's a great time to be a

:08:25. > :08:30.Jamaican sprinter, lots of people are trying to delay, but they don't

:08:30. > :08:36.look like him. When they do their little antics on the start line,

:08:36. > :08:39.they don't look like Bolt. He spoke to the girl in charge of the draw

:08:39. > :08:46.and was having a conversation with her, two minutes before running a

:08:46. > :08:50.race like that. Just extraordinary. He is very much in control. Even

:08:50. > :08:54.though he is doing those things, he is thinking about the race and

:08:54. > :08:58.concentrating. I couldn't do that. I had to be totally focused and

:08:58. > :09:03.silent and could not speak to anyone. It is not that he was

:09:03. > :09:08.relaxed and taking it lightly, he was just as focused when the gun

:09:08. > :09:18.goes off as when I was doing it, but he have the ability to switch

:09:18. > :09:19.

:09:19. > :09:23.But doesn't he personified Jamaican personality? It is what to expect

:09:23. > :09:29.on that island, and they will be rocking from Kingston, to Antonio

:09:29. > :09:33.and everywhere in between. Any time is party time. It is fantastic to

:09:33. > :09:40.see. Like Michael said, he's been himself and he brings something

:09:40. > :09:45.very unique to the world of athletics. The biggest global

:09:45. > :09:49.superstar in sport, I think you can say that. Maybe Tiger Woods or

:09:49. > :09:56.Roger Federer at that time, but from Ecuador to the Philippines and

:09:56. > :10:02.all parts in between, he is the man. I am pleased that he achieved what

:10:02. > :10:06.he set as a target. This is his goal. He wanted to do it, so he has

:10:06. > :10:11.trained and delivered, so he should sit back and whatever he decides,

:10:11. > :10:17.he should do it for himself. As far as I can see, he has been the best

:10:17. > :10:24.track and field sprinter we have ever seen and the best Olympia 2 --

:10:24. > :10:29.Olympian as well, no doubt. Where does he go next? When people start

:10:29. > :10:34.to expect a world record after world record, Olympic records, what

:10:34. > :10:39.is the motivation? You are exactly right. He gets to the point where

:10:39. > :10:44.it becomes so very difficult. I was criticised for not winning a race

:10:44. > :10:48.by enough, and that is when you know that you have nowhere to go.

:10:48. > :10:55.But he is going to find himself in that position very quickly. He said

:10:55. > :10:58.to me that he needed to repeat as an Olympic champion at the 102

:10:58. > :11:07.hundred to consider himself a true legend, even though we consider him

:11:07. > :11:12.a legend. Now he has achieved it, and he has talked about the long

:11:12. > :11:21.jump, but I don't see it happening. It is the obvious incentive to wait

:11:21. > :11:29.a third time? I don't think it holds any motivation for him. I do

:11:29. > :11:34.not think it is there. It does not sound like that, three times.

:11:34. > :11:38.also the margins are getting closer. We talked about the distance in

:11:38. > :11:43.Beijing, but it is not that any more, we are talking about two

:11:43. > :11:48.metres or one metre in the hundred metres. He is now bigger celebrity

:11:48. > :11:52.than he was before. And Michael said about what you have to put

:11:52. > :11:57.your body through to get the performances out, it is tough

:11:57. > :12:01.training and tough competing and with the addicts -- the added

:12:01. > :12:05.expectation of the world, that makes it a bit of a bind. It gets

:12:05. > :12:10.to the point where it is no longer fun, and that is when it is

:12:10. > :12:15.difficult. We are hoping to have an interview with Usain Bolt, but he

:12:15. > :12:20.has gone off for another run. He is going for another lap of honour.

:12:20. > :12:25.Does he not understand his media obligations, for heaven's sake?

:12:25. > :12:31.has made it clear that the fans come first. Great scenes. We are

:12:31. > :12:34.lucky to be here and we are lucky to watch it at home, but the 80,000

:12:34. > :12:40.in here tonight, when you see greatness, in whatever shape or

:12:40. > :12:46.form, you have to take a step back and think how fortunate you were to

:12:46. > :12:52.see it. The other thing we talked about was Blake, but you talk about

:12:52. > :13:00.him being the most unlucky because he is in the era of Bolt, but what

:16:46. > :16:50.more special to celebrate with these guys? I know my coach will be

:18:04. > :18:09.applauding. Did you think a world record was possible? Definitely. I

:18:09. > :18:17.guess I wasn't fit enough. I came out of the corner, but I could feel

:18:17. > :18:23.the strain on my back a little bit. I just tried to keep my form. Go

:18:23. > :18:28.but the way I came off a corner, I could feel it. This year has not

:18:28. > :18:32.been the easiest of build up. You said you were 95% fit but you have

:18:32. > :18:39.still been able to do this. Some are what this means in the context

:18:39. > :18:42.of the season. -- some up. It is hard. For me it was hard. I am

:18:42. > :18:47.really dedicated to my it work and I know what London meant to me. I

:18:47. > :18:51.gave it my best and I'm proud of myself. I really wanted to get the

:18:52. > :18:57.world record in the 200m, but it was hard. A message for your fans?

:18:57. > :19:02.Definitely. If I start thanking people, I will be here all day.

:19:02. > :19:12.Thank you to my family. Thank you to my best friend. My management

:19:13. > :19:20.staff, all of the fans in Jamaica. Kingston. All of my four friends,

:19:20. > :19:26.the four square group. Big laugh. You are a legend. I must say, Colin

:19:26. > :19:31.Jackson, you haven't won that bet. To you guys have been great for top

:19:31. > :19:38.Birmingham people, you guys to care of us. Birmingham people. They were

:19:38. > :19:47.great a loss. They showed us a lot of love. You guys helped us to do

:19:53. > :20:01.You had better explain the bet. is talking about his time. I

:20:01. > :20:05.thought he would run 64, but he ran 63. I'm furious! From the 100m.

:20:05. > :20:14.Final thoughts on what we have seen tonight. Let's have one word on

:20:14. > :20:18.Incredible. He is such an incredible athlete. We've seen the

:20:18. > :20:25.two best athletes in the sport tonight on one night. They are so

:20:25. > :20:29.opposite. But both are great athletes, both great ambassadors.

:20:29. > :20:36.That was a phenomenal 800m we had a chance to see tonight, one of the

:20:36. > :20:41.best I've ever seen. Last words on Bolt. Fantastic. Amazing. Delivered.

:20:41. > :20:46.That is what it is about at this level. To be able to deliver what

:20:46. > :20:50.you are able to do. Fantastic night. Colin, you can think of another

:20:50. > :20:56.night to describe Bolt in a moment. Jonathan Edwards will sum up the

:20:56. > :21:06.triple jump. Not surprisingly, it slipped under

:21:06. > :21:09.

:21:09. > :21:17.competition, he had to go further than his team-mate. He could not

:21:17. > :21:24.manage it. 16.66. At 17.62 was his best jump. He finished in silver

:21:24. > :21:30.medal position. The champion was Christian Taylor, world champion

:21:30. > :21:37.last year and our Olympic champion. Go I think in the coming years

:21:37. > :21:47.Christian Taylor can become one of the all-time greats. By his coach

:21:47. > :21:51.

:21:51. > :21:56.Have you come up with the word? Simply. He achieved what he wanted

:21:56. > :22:01.to with G. He is a legend. Tomorrow night we should see him again. We

:22:01. > :22:04.have got the heats of the 4 x 100m have got the heats of the 4 x 100m

:22:04. > :22:14.relay. They might give him time off, but they don't want to risk not

:22:14. > :22:29.

:22:29. > :22:35.qualifying. This is what we have I saw a headline in the paper that

:22:35. > :22:41.said make or break for Bolt. He certainly made it.

:22:41. > :22:44.What tonight. First we saw the 800m record go and then Usain Bolt. What

:22:44. > :22:49.an unbelievable athlete. Apparently he wants to play for Manchester

:22:49. > :22:54.United next season. I would love to see that. Over the next 40 minutes

:22:54. > :22:58.we will see the men's British hockey team in their semi-final.

:22:58. > :23:01.First let's turn our attention to a different kind of Olympic history.

:23:01. > :23:07.For this to her -- for the first time ever these gains included

:23:07. > :23:11.women's boxing. Attempting to win the very first female medal was

:23:11. > :23:21.Great Britain's Nicola Adams. She was up against Rennes can-can from

:23:21. > :23:29.

:23:29. > :23:33.A into the second round we go. Panther No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in

:23:33. > :23:38.the tournament. This is a rematch of the World Championship final

:23:38. > :23:48.from last year. Nicola Adams has come out absolutely blazing.

:23:48. > :23:48.

:23:48. > :23:55.Working away with pistons straight punches. We saw three attacks.

:23:55. > :24:01.Amazing boxing by Adams. Her opponent struggling to work out the

:24:01. > :24:04.speed and the combinations. decibel level continues to rise at

:24:05. > :24:12.the ExCeL Arena in London Docklands. It has been a sell-out crowd for

:24:12. > :24:16.every single session of boxing. This is the 24th session. For

:24:16. > :24:21.first-time -- of the first time that women are competing in

:24:21. > :24:29.Olympics boxing. This is a gold medal fight. What a stunning right

:24:29. > :24:35.cross from Nicola Adams. What an amazing shot. If she hasn't caught

:24:35. > :24:39.the judges's eyes, I don't know what will. Beautiful shot!

:24:39. > :24:46.legitimate knock-down. The count will be issued. In the Olympic

:24:46. > :24:51.boxing, it is only one point. We are approaching the closing 30

:24:51. > :24:57.seconds, the momentum in favour of Nicola Adams. You suspect that at

:24:57. > :25:00.the close of this round, if Adams can retain her concentration, the

:25:00. > :25:06.reigning world champion and world number one is going to have a

:25:06. > :25:09.significant deficit to try to claw back. Adams is content to box on

:25:09. > :25:19.the back foot and use that sublime footwork that we all know she

:25:19. > :25:20.

:25:20. > :25:23.She can't afford to get as excited as we are. She has to keep her

:25:23. > :25:29.discipline and keep her hands and eyes and high. This is a brilliant

:25:29. > :25:34.performance by Adams. She needs to keep it up. The bell sounds to end

:25:34. > :25:44.a round number two. Nicola Adams has extended her advantage. It now

:25:44. > :25:52.

:25:52. > :26:01.Great stuff. You are free up. -- 3 up. This was a flurry at the

:26:02. > :26:08.beginning of this round. My goodness, five solid good shots.

:26:08. > :26:12.Beautiful right hand. Followed with a left. She stepped half a step

:26:12. > :26:22.back and came back with a beautiful 12, knocking her opponent to the

:26:22. > :26:31.

:26:31. > :26:38.floor. -- one two. What a great The top two 51 kg flyweight boxers

:26:38. > :26:48.in the world. Once again, it is a blazing Stahl at around three, just

:26:48. > :26:54.as it was in the second round, if F by Nicola Adams. -- blazing start.

:26:54. > :27:00.Up she is this -- she is scoring off the back foot. A change in

:27:00. > :27:04.tactics by the Chinese. She is trailing by five. She is noticeably

:27:04. > :27:12.more aggressive, attempting to get onto the front foot and take the

:27:12. > :27:18.contest Adams, who is continuing to boxed beautifully. The Chinese is

:27:18. > :27:23.still very much a danger. Adams needs to be very careful, keep her

:27:23. > :27:29.discipline and hold her hand side. Adams is also a master of the

:27:29. > :27:34.footwork. It will play into her hands if her opponent throws some

:27:34. > :27:42.shops. Both these boxers received byes in the preliminary road by

:27:42. > :27:49.virtue of the number one and number two seedings. Adams is the number

:27:50. > :27:54.two seed. They have been masterful, winning without getting out of

:27:54. > :27:59.second gear. But with the Olympic gold medal at stake, both of these

:27:59. > :28:04.boxers bringing their a game. There can be no excuses. Both are

:28:04. > :28:09.executing at the very top of their game. Adams has a significant

:28:09. > :28:15.advantage as we move inside the final 30 seconds of the third round.

:28:15. > :28:19.Adams knows she is building up a wider lead. You can see her tactics

:28:19. > :28:27.changing. A little bit scrappy in the corner. Little shuffles, left

:28:28. > :28:37.and right. Just to keep out of the way. Adams countering beautifully

:28:38. > :28:38.

:28:38. > :28:48.on the back foot. The lead has increased further still! It is now

:28:48. > :28:53.

:28:53. > :28:59.nine points in favour of Nicola Adams. 5-14. Can we believe? Can we

:28:59. > :29:03.believe that Nicola Adams is boxing the former world champion and the

:29:03. > :29:10.scoreline is 14-5? Yes, we can because we've seen some tremendous

:29:10. > :29:20.flurries by Adams. Her opponent is just punching the air, unable to

:29:20. > :29:36.

:29:36. > :29:41.As we move into the fourth and final round of this women's 51 kg

:29:41. > :29:51.flyweight final, only two minutes of boxing stand between Quebec --

:29:51. > :29:51.

:29:51. > :30:01.Great Britain's Nicola Adams and Olympic immortality. She is leading

:30:01. > :30:02.

:30:02. > :30:05.the reigning World Championship gold medallist by a score of 14-5.

:30:05. > :30:10.Unless her opponent can produce a punch to bring about a finish and

:30:10. > :30:14.put Adams on the canvas and keeper of there for 10 seconds, one

:30:14. > :30:19.suspects that Nicola Adams is on her way to Olympic gold.

:30:19. > :30:28.Concentration will be absolutely crucial. She doesn't want to let

:30:28. > :30:34.the occasion get to her. She will She will not want to be thinking

:30:34. > :30:38.about the outcome. Her focus will be on the task at hand. This is

:30:38. > :30:43.admirable discipline demonstrated by Nicola Adams. She knows she has

:30:43. > :30:48.a comfortable lead but maintains a tight guard and is taking her shots.

:30:48. > :30:53.A tremendous right hand again as she moves forward, but she is not

:30:53. > :31:00.complacent, keeping her hands high. She knows Ren is a danger until the

:31:00. > :31:05.very last bell. Nicola Adams began boxing at the age of 12, and she

:31:05. > :31:10.sneaks home a beautiful left jab. She struggled to find opponents.

:31:10. > :31:16.Her mother took her to an after- school club in Leeds, while her mum

:31:16. > :31:20.was doing aerobics. Unbeknown to her she was getting into the boxing

:31:20. > :31:24.ring and trying it out. That is where her talent was discovered.

:31:24. > :31:28.And she is on the cusp of claiming the first ever women's Olympic

:31:28. > :31:31.the first ever women's Olympic boxing gold medal. Seconds away.

:31:31. > :31:41.The crowd beginning to count down, clapping their hands and stop

:31:41. > :31:48.dumping their feet. The Ali shuffle. And as that closing bell sounds,

:31:48. > :31:52.Nicola Adams produces a fast flurry just to underline that the

:31:52. > :31:56.superiority she demonstrated, and now the celebrations begin in

:31:56. > :32:03.earnest. There is no doubt in that blue corner, in the Great Britain

:32:03. > :32:07.corner, that Nicola Adams has just made history by brilliantly boxing

:32:07. > :32:14.highway to the first ever women's Olympic boxing title. A smile on

:32:14. > :32:20.the face of her coach, congratulating his charge, and in

:32:20. > :32:26.she boxed brilliantly from opening bell us to the last. The fact she

:32:26. > :32:30.trailed in the contests she had fought in, and it was Cancan Ren

:32:30. > :32:36.who held the advantage in the last two. They did not make a blind gift

:32:36. > :32:46.of difference. -- Blind Date. Adams came good, and surely the

:32:46. > :32:49.

:32:49. > :32:59.announcement is about to announce Ladies and gentlemen, the winner,

:32:59. > :32:59.

:32:59. > :33:08.by a score of 16-7, and Olympic champion, in the blue corner,

:33:08. > :33:12.representing Great Britain, Nicola Adams! Nicola Adams of Great

:33:12. > :33:20.Britain has just made sporting history! She is the first Olympic

:33:20. > :33:26.boxing champion in history in the women's tournament, and it is sheer

:33:26. > :33:31.delight for the 29 year-old from Leeds, who has taken out the boxer

:33:31. > :33:35.that was previously her nemesis. She produced a flawless display,

:33:35. > :33:41.leading from the first round to the last. What a stage on which to do

:33:41. > :33:46.it in this amphitheatre of boxing. Nicola Adams is the champion of

:33:46. > :33:51.boxing. When she began at the age of 12, the possibility of emulating

:33:51. > :33:59.her heroes, Sugar Ray Leonard and Mohammed Ali, was a far-fetched

:33:59. > :34:06.dream. But now not only is it a reality, she has just over four

:34:06. > :34:10.two-minute rounds, it guaranteed himself -- guaranteed herself as a

:34:10. > :34:18.place in Olympic sporting history as the greatest Olympic female

:34:18. > :34:22.boxer in that history. Well done, There she is, still smiling, the

:34:22. > :34:27.biggest smile of the Games. Many congratulations. A wonderful

:34:27. > :34:31.performance. The first time you have seen it. It was quite good!

:34:31. > :34:36.didn't realise it was such an exciting fight until I watched it

:34:36. > :34:40.back. The BBC office, hundreds of people working away, everybody was

:34:40. > :34:46.standing up and cheering. You were so strong and kept going and kept

:34:46. > :34:51.going. You battered her. It was the support in the arena, everyone was

:34:51. > :34:56.cheering. I was just drawing the energy of the crowd and using it to

:34:56. > :34:59.my advantage. UB the five-time world champion in the semi-final

:34:59. > :35:06.and that was the three-times world champion. You could not have been

:35:06. > :35:12.overly confident going into it? Cancan Ren is a tricky opponent and

:35:12. > :35:17.I did not want to take anything to chance. I stuck to my tactics and

:35:17. > :35:19.it all paid off. You have fought three times before. You beat her

:35:20. > :35:25.once by a solitary point, but this time he won by nine, what a

:35:25. > :35:30.turnaround. I think it was the coaches in the corner. I didn't

:35:30. > :35:34.realise how many points up I was. They were saying I was only two or

:35:34. > :35:40.three, so I had to keep it tight and stay focused. I think that

:35:40. > :35:45.helped me and it was a good game plan. What about the last round?

:35:45. > :35:49.You must have known by that stage, or even felt it, that she will well

:35:49. > :35:54.ahead. You must have been thinking you had to stay on your feet. Was

:35:54. > :36:00.it going through your head? I was thinking, stay focused, she is

:36:00. > :36:05.still a dangerous opponent. You could get the gold medal and it

:36:05. > :36:10.will be a dream come true. A lot of the fights at the Games, I have not

:36:10. > :36:17.seen many people knock on their backsides, but you can pack a punch.

:36:17. > :36:24.I was so surprised when she went down. The it was great. They you go.

:36:24. > :36:29.Bang! At that stage you know you are almost invincible. In boxing,

:36:29. > :36:35.you never know and you have to concentrate. Definitely, but I was

:36:35. > :36:43.so happy. I was thinking, I have got her number today. This is my

:36:43. > :36:49.time. You're wearing that gold medal proudly. It is something else.

:36:49. > :36:54.You started boxing and the commentator was saying your mother

:36:54. > :36:59.was doing aerobics and you disappeared into the ring in the

:36:59. > :37:04.gym and she did know anything about it. Was she happy about it? She was

:37:04. > :37:09.happy I found a sport I enjoyed doing. I have always loved my

:37:09. > :37:14.boxing from when I used to watch it with my dad. I watched the great,

:37:14. > :37:18.Mohammed Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, and I thought I wanted to be like

:37:19. > :37:25.them and win a gold medal in the Olympics, so it is like a fairy

:37:25. > :37:32.tale. The fairy-tale ending for me. The even a bit of the Ali shuffle.

:37:32. > :37:35.Did your coach mind that sort of thing? No, it is part of my style.

:37:35. > :37:41.I have grown up watching the great and to be able to imitate them on

:37:41. > :37:44.such a big occasion like today was a great feeling for me.

:37:44. > :37:48.everybody was in favour of women's boxing being part of the Olympics,

:37:48. > :37:53.but you must feel like you have done a lot to turn people's

:37:53. > :37:59.opinions you did feel like that. Definitely. The support in the

:38:00. > :38:05.arena was amazing. Everybody was cheering, and I think everyone is

:38:05. > :38:10.really enjoying the women's boxing now. It is nice to see. It is

:38:10. > :38:15.brilliant. You are the only person I have seen with a gold medal he

:38:15. > :38:20.didn't cry. Keep smiling, because it is a beautiful smile and it has

:38:21. > :38:23.done Britain proud. Earlier in the Men's Hockey Germany beat Australia

:38:23. > :38:28.2 playing the gold medal match. And the other semi-final were Great

:38:28. > :38:32.Britain, hoping to reach the final for the first time since Seoul 88.

:38:32. > :38:42.They had to overcome the Netherlands. Commentary by one of

:38:42. > :38:47.

:38:47. > :38:57.those gold medal winners, Sean in orange. That is the line-up. The

:38:57. > :39:02.

:39:41. > :39:44.This is Ben Hawes. Jackson to the right. Still Ben Hawes. Good run.

:39:44. > :39:49.Couldn't just flick into Jackson on the right, but they were trying to

:40:50. > :40:56.finally, but he scored and very well indeed. A great strike and a

:40:56. > :41:06.perfect corner by Weusthof. He did not make any error with that at all.

:41:06. > :41:16.

:41:33. > :41:42.concentration still needs to stay. Well, it didn't, and that is

:41:42. > :41:47.another goal. And it is the same goalscorer. Weusthof. Great Britain

:41:47. > :41:51.relaxed when the ball was stopped and the Dutch were still playing as

:41:51. > :41:57.they were looking at the back line. Great Britain have a really big

:41:57. > :42:07.uphill struggle. They have not really come out and played the game.

:42:58. > :43:05.The quick counter, and a -- De Nooijer. Penalty corner has been

:43:05. > :43:10.given. The Stig was far too high in the air. Great Britain gave the

:43:10. > :43:14.ball away on the edge of the 25. Committing men to attack, you leave

:43:14. > :43:18.the space in midfield and that is where the Dutch will have a go and

:43:18. > :43:28.show what she can do. They will take that defence apart, clinically.

:43:38. > :43:43.Lethal at corners, this boy. He was bought in to replace the legendary

:43:43. > :43:48.corner striker, but not a bad decision. That is a very useful

:45:18. > :45:24.The original ball by De Wijn, but it needed a little touch. Now this

:45:24. > :45:28.is difficult. They got to get a little bit out of this. James Fair

:45:28. > :45:38.could only take the sting out of that, he could not stop it. A great

:45:38. > :45:39.

:45:39. > :45:49.shot. I think it would have gone in any way. A great interception by

:45:49. > :45:59.

:45:59. > :46:07.the man who just laid on that goal. 7! It equals the top score in the

:46:07. > :46:11.tournament so far. I think the word is a shellacking. I am shell-

:46:11. > :46:18.shocked, they must beat on the pitch. Great Britain have no idea

:46:18. > :46:24.what has happened to them. The Dutch have come out and played an

:46:24. > :46:27.absolutely brilliant 45 minutes of hockey. Shell-shocked on the bench.

:46:27. > :46:32.Favour talked about that golden dream and they were talking about

:46:56. > :47:06.- 50. That is no way that should going from there. Great strike,

:47:06. > :47:20.

:47:20. > :47:30.It is a penalty corner. Very simple just to put the ball under foot. --

:47:30. > :47:36.

:47:36. > :47:43.I thought the contrast yesterday evening was desperate between the

:47:43. > :47:53.two sides at the end of the match. Here it, the contrast is so great.

:47:53. > :48:19.

:48:19. > :48:25.Robert Moore was the scorer. Look at them waving the Union flags!

:48:25. > :48:29.Excellent support for a team who needs all the support, probably

:48:29. > :48:33.needs all the support, probably more than they have ever needed.

:48:33. > :48:38.emotions are pretty flat. Pretty embarrassed. We let a few people

:48:38. > :48:43.down. Even at 9-one people were shouting and that was amazing. We

:48:43. > :48:48.didn't turn up. We know we have let ourselves down today. They did

:48:48. > :48:54.everything better than us. I can't explain it. I have never seen us

:48:54. > :48:59.like that and to do it in such a big game is so sad for me as a

:48:59. > :49:04.player and everyone. We will go away and I don't think there is

:49:04. > :49:12.much we can do looking at the video. We didn't work hard enough, we

:49:12. > :49:15.weren't good on the ball. It wasn't tactical. In fairness, that is a

:49:15. > :49:22.very, very special Netherlands side. It is a good side. We made them

:49:22. > :49:27.look very good. If we had worked as hard as they did, we would have got

:49:27. > :49:34.a lot closer. I don't think if we played it 10 times that would not

:49:34. > :49:38.be a consistent scoreline. It is all in our hands. You knew you had

:49:38. > :49:43.to dig in against a very, very good technical Netherlands side. The

:49:43. > :49:49.worst possible start, 2-0 down, but then Ashley Jackson scored and you

:49:49. > :49:57.were back in it. Yes, even at 4-1 we came out after half-time and we

:49:57. > :50:03.had a few corners. We had a good chance on the goalkeeper and they

:50:03. > :50:09.got a little break. They went down the other end and scored. The

:50:09. > :50:12.timing of the goals hit people. In knocked us back a bit. When they

:50:12. > :50:18.get a head like that, they are brilliant players and they just

:50:18. > :50:21.went and played hockey. We can understand how down you must bleak,

:50:21. > :50:26.but you are still in contention for an Olympic medal. A bronze medal

:50:26. > :50:30.match against Australia. You could still walk away from this wonderful

:50:30. > :50:36.Olympic Games with a medal. definitely. That is what we have to

:50:36. > :50:40.do. To Mori were dashed tomorrow we will start a plan for the Aussies.

:50:40. > :50:45.They will be disappointed tonight as well. We owe it to some people

:50:45. > :50:48.to turn up and again. We wanted to be in the final, we are not and we

:50:48. > :50:53.have to deal with that. I think that is what they call a good

:50:53. > :51:03.hiding. But all is not lost for Great Britain, they still have the

:51:03. > :51:08.

:51:08. > :51:13.Look at that beautiful evening we have got here in the Olympic Park.

:51:13. > :51:16.Huge crowds coming out of the athletics stadium. The women's

:51:16. > :51:21.football final saw a repeat of last year's World Cup final between

:51:21. > :51:31.Japan and the US. On that occasion the Japanese won on penalties. This

:51:31. > :51:51.

:51:51. > :51:57.end it was a diving header. Just the start Japan didn't want.

:51:57. > :52:03.ball in was great, but she just took too big a touch. She just

:52:03. > :52:08.managed to get the ball around for a diving header from Lloyd. They

:52:08. > :52:15.all want to score. Carly Lloyd putting her head where it might

:52:15. > :52:21.have hurt. I don't think she would have been bothered. Her third goal

:52:21. > :52:31.of the competition. Probably the stand-up performer in the semi-

:52:31. > :52:43.

:52:43. > :52:53.great chance that was. A great ball in. She just managed to get enough

:52:53. > :53:26.

:53:26. > :53:33.by USA hands. Determined to get a penalty. He thought it was a

:53:33. > :53:43.handball. You know what... That was worse than the one in the Canada

:53:43. > :53:55.

:53:55. > :53:59.lucky did she get? Such a great ball in. The decision had been made.

:53:59. > :54:09.I think she was trying to make it go the other side of the goal. What

:54:09. > :54:23.

:54:23. > :54:29.she had done the wrong thing, keeping the ball too long, but a

:54:29. > :54:39.great ball across. On-target, but an inch or so low and that is

:54:39. > :54:56.

:54:56. > :55:02.2-0, USA. G20, Carly Lloyd. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

:55:02. > :55:08.goal. She picked it up really deep and she ran. You thought she would

:55:08. > :55:12.lay it off, but what a tremendous strike. The goalkeeper will not

:55:13. > :55:19.save that. She created that angle and powered it into the opposite

:55:19. > :55:22.corner. A tremendous goal from Cali Lloyd. There might have been some

:55:22. > :55:32.wonderful goals scored by some brilliant Number Tens on this

:55:32. > :55:53.

:55:53. > :55:56.2-1. Japan are back in it. A great ball. She picked out the striker.

:55:56. > :56:00.They could not get enough on it to get rid of it and they will be

:56:01. > :56:05.really disappointed with that. Japan will be quite happy to get

:56:05. > :56:15.themselves back into this final. You would put money on her to

:56:15. > :56:26.

:56:26. > :56:31.the United States of America! The star-spangled Banner is flying

:56:31. > :56:34.star-spangled Banner is flying around Wembley tonight.

:56:34. > :56:38.The four times women's football has been played in the Olympics, the US

:56:38. > :56:40.have won three of them. We are almost at the end of our coverage,

:56:40. > :56:48.almost at the end of our coverage, but let's remind you of the day's

:56:48. > :56:52.Jamaica's Usain Bolt said he needed to defend both his Olympic sprint

:56:52. > :56:58.titles before he could call himself a legend. He has done just that,

:56:58. > :57:05.edging out Yohan Blake in the 200m final.

:57:05. > :57:12.A magnificent David Rudisha won 800m gold in a new world record. He

:57:12. > :57:14.was at his imperious best to become the first man to run under 1:41.

:57:15. > :57:19.A Nicola Adams earned a place in history books as she became the

:57:19. > :57:25.first woman to win Olympic boxing gold thanks to a stunning

:57:25. > :57:31.demolition of China's Cancan. Charlotte Dujardin won Britain's

:57:31. > :57:36.second British dressage gold of the Olympics. Laura Bechtolsheimer also
