BBC One: Day 14: 13.45-16.00

:00:54. > :00:59.Nice to see you. Thank you for joining us and welcome to the final

:00:59. > :01:05.Friday of the 2012 Olympic Games. In 48 hours, the stadium will be

:01:05. > :01:10.preparing to bid farewell to the athletes, but plenty more to come

:01:10. > :01:19.and this afternoon is not for the faint hearted. Expect passion and

:01:19. > :01:25.power in the boxing ring. We will be back at the BMX a Reina shortly,

:01:25. > :01:30.and taekwondo gold a potential for Britain.

:01:30. > :01:34.The medal races were delayed yesterday in the failing. Luke

:01:34. > :01:40.Patience and Stuart Bithell took silver as the Aussies lived up to

:01:40. > :01:48.their billing as favourites. This is Australia's most successful ever

:01:48. > :01:52.sailing regatta. The women's crew also took silver. Sadly, the Brits

:01:52. > :01:57.gave New Zealand an early lead and they were never able to bridge the

:01:57. > :02:00.gap to take the gold medal. They would have loved to, of course.

:02:00. > :02:05.Obvious disappointment but the thing to remember is that once

:02:05. > :02:12.again, out on the water at Weymouth, we continued our success and that

:02:12. > :02:16.is another two silver medals, so congratulations to them. Defeat

:02:16. > :02:25.today but from the Olympic Games, they can consider themselves

:02:25. > :02:30.winners. A busy afternoon of boxing. Semi-finals featuring two Irish and

:02:30. > :02:39.two British boxing's coming up. Whilst Irish eyes will have been

:02:39. > :02:49.smiling after educated Taylor's win, -- after Katie Taylor's win, let's

:02:49. > :02:50.

:02:50. > :02:56.take you back to beat ExCeL Centre as the men were continuing. Paddy

:02:56. > :03:01.got a bronze in Beijing and said they were for loses. We join the

:03:01. > :03:11.fight at the start of the second round, Paddy is trailing 8-5. At

:03:11. > :03:13.

:03:13. > :03:18.least he has some points on the Olympic champion. No. 1 seed for

:03:18. > :03:27.this tournament, although he will be ranked world number two. He beat

:03:27. > :03:37.the Cuban and the boxer from Kazakhstan. Paddy Barnes also got a

:03:37. > :03:40.by. The referee let him get away with that, interesting. The little

:03:40. > :03:50.boy from Belfast, the Commonwealth champion from a deli a couple of

:03:50. > :03:51.

:03:51. > :04:01.years ago, European Championship the same year -- from Delhi. Paddy

:04:01. > :04:34.

:04:34. > :04:44.has got to quicken up his feet and You must face your opponent at all

:04:44. > :05:13.

:05:13. > :05:22.pressure is what is needed from Barnes. He is as crafty as a fox, a

:05:22. > :05:32.rascal. One minute to go now. This round is a little bit closer than

:05:32. > :05:47.

:05:47. > :05:57.the last but the last was won by to adjust his feet because you know

:05:57. > :06:03.

:06:03. > :06:13.that the Chinese man will try to man from China. He is not to

:06:13. > :06:49.

:06:49. > :06:56.everybody's taste but he is a very round by Paddy. Only three points

:06:56. > :07:01.adrift. Tactics will be absolutely crucial. The Irish caller said, it

:07:01. > :07:06.is all or nothing, you have to go for him now. He slowed his feet

:07:07. > :07:11.down coming forward slightly, Barnes. I would send Paddy Barnes

:07:11. > :07:21.out if I had to go one way or another just because of the

:07:21. > :07:46.

:07:46. > :07:51.hear him there. They are trying to adrift, he needs a non stop

:07:51. > :08:01.punishing round against the man who has been a number one boxer in this

:08:01. > :08:40.

:08:41. > :08:50.moment, it's 11-8. That's good by Barnes. Barnes is getting a bit

:08:51. > :09:02.

:09:02. > :09:12.frustrated. He has to pick himself This might just suit him! Does Zou

:09:12. > :09:37.

:09:37. > :09:42.fancy a tear up? Because Paddy again! He hurt him and he is down!

:09:42. > :09:49.Should that had been a red card, he got him on the canvas? He just

:09:49. > :09:59.turned away didn't he, and sell to the canvas. He is playing into the

:09:59. > :10:05.Irishmen's hands, Zou. I think Barnes has closed the gap! There is

:10:05. > :10:15.still another minute to go. This will be a very difficult minute for

:10:15. > :10:38.

:10:38. > :10:48.stage. Barnes has just got to go for it now. Threes and four ats,

:10:48. > :10:53.

:10:53. > :11:03.get to your man, quicken your feet that be the one that goes in his

:11:03. > :11:17.

:11:17. > :11:25.we have seen from the best boxer in the world. Is it going to be

:11:25. > :11:32.enough? Both sets of hands go up. He reckons he has squeezed it home,

:11:32. > :11:41.Zou, and he might just have. That was a very close last round. This

:11:41. > :11:50.one could go either way. Barnes sustained the pressure terrifically

:11:50. > :11:56.in that last round. A lapse in concentration from Zou in that last

:11:56. > :12:01.round. He took a lot of punishment. Barnes may just have done enough.

:12:01. > :12:09.He threw Reeve, very close. A point either way, it could beat either

:12:09. > :12:15.way. -- it could go either way. That change in tempo for Barnes

:12:15. > :12:23.could be the difference between making that final. Four years ago,

:12:23. > :12:28.in Beijing, Paddy Barnes was very upset at the fact that he was not

:12:28. > :12:38.given a single scoring point on the computer scoring system. He has

:12:38. > :12:47.

:12:47. > :12:54.overturn the three point difference? Ladies and gentlemen.

:12:54. > :13:04.The judges have scored the bout level at 15 points apiece. The

:13:04. > :13:07.

:13:07. > :13:15.winner on countback in the red corner, of China, Zou. You opera or

:13:15. > :13:23.supplies for Paddy Barnes. -- your applause, please, for Paddy Barnes.

:13:23. > :13:28.He will be devastated. Pretending to joke his opponent! Decent fellow.

:13:28. > :13:34.He raises his hand as if to say, you were the better man, but only

:13:34. > :13:39.just. We will not see this fellow, and 31 years of age, in another

:13:40. > :13:45.Olympic Games. Last time, Paddy Barnes did not get a single point.

:13:45. > :13:55.This time, he was level with the world number one, who got it on

:13:55. > :14:00.

:14:00. > :14:06.countback. Paddy Barnes can be Your reaction, please. Bullying --

:14:06. > :14:10.brilliant performance. I am disappointed. I thought I could get

:14:10. > :14:15.it back. He is a good boxer and I wish him well for the final. That

:14:15. > :14:21.final round, you did so well and you must have thought, I perhaps

:14:21. > :14:26.have done it? I had nothing left in the tank. I tried my hardest. I am

:14:26. > :14:32.devastated. At the end it you sportingly said, Well done, and

:14:32. > :14:35.that takes some doing given the way you lost it. Yes. I have lost three

:14:35. > :14:40.times to him. He is an amazing athlete and I have great respect

:14:40. > :14:47.for him. Will you look back and say you had a great career in the

:14:47. > :14:52.Olympics? Yeah, first time boxing was in it so we made history.

:14:52. > :14:57.Commiserations but very well done. Belfast can be proud of Paddy

:14:57. > :15:02.Barnes. Just to remind you, he did not manage to pick up a single

:15:02. > :15:06.point against his opponent in Beijing, so for it to go back to

:15:06. > :15:13.countback, he can be rightly proud of that performance. More boxing in

:15:13. > :15:20.a moment. Today it was the men's open-water swim. Damn fog was

:15:20. > :15:23.competing for Great Britain. Earlier he made their 1,500m final

:15:23. > :15:28.in the swimming pool, but he swapped it today for the Serpentine.

:15:28. > :15:38.He came in in 5th place. The Tunisian swim it looked really

:15:38. > :15:51.

:15:51. > :16:00.The Tunisian winning it. Well done to Dan who came in 5th. Over on BBC

:16:00. > :16:04.Three there is live taekwondo. Plenty more coming up on BBC One.

:16:04. > :16:10.You can press the red button whenever you like. Plenty of sport

:16:10. > :16:20.at all times. Now we are going to move up to the men's bantamweight

:16:20. > :16:22.

:16:22. > :16:30.to see Britain's Nick Campbell in action. First, it is timed for John

:16:30. > :16:40.Joe Nevin. An Olympic gold tomorrow evening is what he really needs. We

:16:40. > :16:45.

:16:45. > :16:49.will be there live in just a couple of minutes. The BBC is covering the

:16:49. > :16:54.2012 Olympics like never before. Whether it is on TV, online or on

:16:54. > :16:59.the radio or through your mobile. We will make sure you never miss a

:16:59. > :17:06.moment of these historic Games. will be broadcasting from breakfast

:17:06. > :17:12.until 1am. BBC will be showing live action from 9am until 11 o'clock at

:17:12. > :17:21.night. We will be showing more sport on the red button. The BBC

:18:10. > :18:14.the BBC. We have got the Olympic Games covered. That is the last

:18:14. > :18:20.time I'm going to show you that. If you have not managed to work it out

:18:20. > :18:24.by now, perhaps you never will. A few moments ago we saw real

:18:24. > :18:29.frustration for Paddy Barnes. It went to count back for his fight,

:18:29. > :18:39.but we are hoping that Ireland's John Joe Nevin will give the crowd

:18:39. > :18:57.

:18:57. > :19:04.something to shout about. He is seats. 10,000 people, says the

:19:04. > :19:11.number 25. The most entertaining semi-final in prospect as we await

:19:11. > :19:21.the arrival of boxers from Cuba and Ireland. Will they please make

:19:21. > :19:33.

:19:33. > :19:38.their way to the ring. Cuba came here with eight boxes and

:19:38. > :19:43.they have got four through to the medals. Not as good as Beijing when

:19:43. > :19:49.they had six, but they did not come away with a gold, but a quite fancy

:19:49. > :19:59.this fellow. But he has got to get past the quiet man of the Irish

:19:59. > :20:01.

:20:01. > :20:08.side, seeded No. 5, world No. Four. John Joe Nevin. He looks fairly

:20:08. > :20:17.comfortable as well, I do not think he is faced by this occasion. He is

:20:17. > :20:25.very difficult to catch. He has got to use that style here with Alvarez.

:20:25. > :20:30.Tactics are crucial. The Cuban will be extremely difficult to beat.

:20:30. > :20:37.Nevin is the youngest member of the Irish boxing contingent. Two world

:20:37. > :20:47.bronze medals to his credit. Representing Cuba, the reigning

:20:47. > :21:07.

:21:07. > :21:17.Nevin! He was pressed all the way through in his three contests. At

:21:17. > :21:44.

:21:44. > :21:54.lean. Lazaro Alvarez. Won the World Championships last year. He has

:21:54. > :22:13.

:22:13. > :22:23.looked very comfortable all the way Irish corner will be thrilled with

:22:23. > :22:30.

:22:30. > :22:34.lead and fall short and then go back with the counter. But it is

:22:34. > :22:44.important he does not make any mistakes going forward and his

:22:44. > :23:00.

:23:00. > :23:10.counters have got to be so quickly ago. Alvarez is looking very wary

:23:10. > :23:10.

:23:10. > :24:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:24:05. > :24:15.think he scored with four good time he throws that right, the

:24:15. > :24:28.

:24:28. > :24:34.Irish contingent raw and raised the round. We would like to think so,

:24:34. > :24:44.no buyers intended. It is not very often that you see a Cuban boxer

:24:44. > :24:45.

:24:45. > :24:52.trailing at the end of a round. John Joe Nevin, 5-3 up. Keep moving,

:24:52. > :24:55.keep pitching the shots. Do not switch off is the most important

:24:55. > :25:02.instruction because the Cuban will change his tactics and he may come

:25:02. > :25:08.out even faster on his feet. The single shots from Nevin, long-range,

:25:08. > :25:13.have been superb. Lovely boxing from Nevin on the back foot.

:25:13. > :25:18.Alvarez might come morgue over his front foot. Nevin has to keep a

:25:18. > :25:28.cool head and key at accuracy going with fast counters and fast

:25:28. > :25:28.

:25:28. > :26:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:26:23. > :26:33.been a great division for the moment we are not going to count

:26:33. > :26:43.

:26:43. > :26:48.any chickens, but Nevin is out southpaw stance of the Cuban.

:26:48. > :26:58.Nevin's foot work and can speed have negated all the attributes the

:26:58. > :26:58.

:26:58. > :27:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:27:42. > :27:48.complain, such is their discipline. Alvarez is starting to work on the

:27:48. > :27:58.inside a little bit better. He is falling in there and that was an

:27:58. > :28:17.

:28:17. > :28:22.one. Who is your money on? I think Nevin is doing well again. He has

:28:22. > :28:27.got to keep that movement going. That is the attack he has got to

:28:27. > :28:37.watch out for. When he misses with the right hand, he is all over the

:28:37. > :28:55.

:28:55. > :29:01.closed that gap with a combination of afoot speed and hand speed. He

:29:01. > :29:11.is three points up with three minutes to go. What another round

:29:11. > :29:13.

:29:13. > :29:17.for John Joe Nevin against the world champion, the world No. 1.

:29:17. > :29:26.You are changing your action and jumping in. You have to keep on

:29:26. > :29:33.doing what you are doing. Good work from Alvarez. A good right hand and

:29:33. > :29:43.the left does not hit the target. He took a couple of shots, but the

:29:43. > :29:53.accuracy again was with the Irishman. That was a left hook. You

:29:53. > :30:12.

:30:12. > :30:22.could not call that a jab. There is three points up, he leads the world

:30:22. > :30:30.

:30:30. > :30:39.champion, number one seed, Lazaro points adrift. He is certainly

:30:39. > :30:49.starting well. Nevin is on the retreat now. If Nevin misses when

:30:49. > :30:49.

:30:49. > :30:59.he throws the right hand, he has to put him along, left cut. -- put in

:30:59. > :30:59.

:30:59. > :31:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:31:42. > :31:48.or even countback, Ireland will go is getting frustrated now and there

:31:48. > :31:58.is only one minute to go. Can Nevin poll of the surprise of surprises?

:31:58. > :32:00.

:32:00. > :32:10.I think he can! -- off? I think he can as well! Nevin is boxing

:32:10. > :32:13.

:32:13. > :32:23.went to Beijing four years ago, lost to the eventual gold medal-

:32:23. > :32:41.

:32:41. > :32:45.referee has said to him, no more falling around, get on with the

:32:45. > :32:54.boxing. He has got caught a couple of times but I think Nevin has

:32:54. > :32:58.maintained the gap. No. I think Nevin has won the round if anything.

:32:58. > :33:08.He was three points going into it. Possibly the performance of the

:33:08. > :33:11.tournament. Nevin as saying to himself, I have this in the bag.

:33:11. > :33:20.What a display by Ireland's John Joe Nevin against the world

:33:20. > :33:30.champion! The No. 5 seed, I am pretty certain, has upset the No. 1

:33:30. > :33:50.

:33:50. > :33:55.a hammer blow to the gold medal know he has won this and I think

:33:55. > :34:01.the Cuban corner knew as well. Head in hands. Super performance from

:34:01. > :34:07.young Nevin. Is Nevin going to do what Wayne McCullough did 20 years

:34:07. > :34:14.ago in Barcelona in this division, and get to the Olympic final?

:34:14. > :34:19.winner, by a score of 19-14, in the blue corner, John Joe Nevin!

:34:19. > :34:24.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. The youngest member of the Irish boxing team

:34:24. > :34:30.four years ago has got himself into the final to challenge for silver

:34:31. > :34:36.or gold! And you can count the number of times that an Irishman

:34:36. > :34:41.has beating a Cuban on probably the thumbs of one hand, on the hands of

:34:41. > :34:51.John Joe Nevin! That thunderous right and in particular picked this

:34:51. > :34:54.

:34:54. > :34:59.man off with a wonderful ease and Five points, the victor, John Joe

:34:59. > :35:04.Nevin. In 2008, he only made it through to the second round. As he

:35:04. > :35:11.walked out, you could hear Richie saying, he does not look fazed. The

:35:11. > :35:16.delight on his face. A few moments ago we saw Paddy Barnes beaten

:35:16. > :35:22.while representing Ireland, but no such despair for John Joe Nevin.

:35:22. > :35:27.Alvarez is the world champion. He is an incredible talent. But John

:35:27. > :35:32.Joe Nevin, two a head after the first round, three by the second

:35:32. > :35:38.and he wins it by five points. Brilliant performance,

:35:38. > :35:42.congratulations. I can't believe I beat the world champion. I always

:35:42. > :35:46.said it, I am up with the best in the world and I can be the best in

:35:46. > :35:51.the world if I put my mind to it. My performance is getting better

:35:51. > :35:56.every day and hopefully it will get better for the final. Ritchie said

:35:56. > :36:00.it was arguably the performance of the tournament. It was a good

:36:00. > :36:08.performance. I was up against the world champion so I had to push

:36:08. > :36:13.myself. I am delighted, over the moon. I am going out to head in and

:36:13. > :36:19.relax now and we will think about the next contest tomorrow's. I will

:36:19. > :36:29.enjoy them right now. I am getting better as I go along so hopefully I

:36:29. > :36:32.

:36:33. > :36:37.will be ready. A cracking Wright, a moving straight on to our

:36:37. > :36:42.next fighter, and this involves a man you saw emerging, Satoshi

:36:42. > :36:48.Shimizu, who serves in the Japanese army. He is a surprise semi-

:36:48. > :36:52.finalist, up against Luke Campbell. He was overlooked for Beijing and

:36:52. > :36:56.said he started boxing as a young man to improve his confidence. He

:36:56. > :37:01.has made it through to the semi- final. He is representing Great

:37:01. > :37:11.Britain. Luke Campbell. Fingers crossed he makes it through to

:37:11. > :37:14.

:37:14. > :37:24.fight for gold. Let's rejoin the composure. The most important

:37:24. > :37:41.

:37:41. > :37:51.contest of his distinguished Japan, Satoshi Shimizu!

:37:51. > :38:16.

:38:16. > :38:21.APPLAUSE This very skilful boxer Britain won a bronze medal in this

:38:21. > :38:26.division. Luke Campbell has already got a guaranteed bronze-medal but I

:38:26. > :38:33.am pretty sure he will not want to settle for that. He is up against a

:38:33. > :38:39.difficult opponent. He had a very difficult contest against the boxer

:38:39. > :38:45.from a desire Sian, who sat down several times in the last round --

:38:45. > :38:55.from Azerbaijan. There was an appeal, the man from Azerbaijan was

:38:55. > :38:56.

:38:56. > :39:02.dismissed, and Shimizu came through. What this Japanese boxer likes in

:39:02. > :39:12.skill and ability, he makes up for in determination. He is very, very

:39:12. > :39:15.

:39:15. > :39:22.fit indeed. It is a pretty for Luke Campbell. He has to keep a

:39:22. > :39:27.high guard, bring him on to those straight shots and just adjust the

:39:27. > :39:31.feet as he goes forward. Satoshi Shimizu has come through every

:39:31. > :39:41.contest with blistering last rounds, so Luke Campbell will want to be

:39:41. > :40:18.

:41:13. > :41:23.Campbell, he should be three or four up by the very least after

:41:23. > :41:32.

:42:05. > :42:12.Shimizu. He comes on stronger and stronger. His fitness is his

:42:12. > :42:18.strength. It is important that Campbell stays focused. I know the

:42:18. > :42:28.corner will be giving him the instructions. He needs to stay calm

:42:28. > :42:39.

:42:39. > :42:49.last year in Azerbaijan. European champion in 2008 in Liverpool. The

:42:49. > :42:59.

:42:59. > :43:03.first Briton for about 50 years to in the last round and put Campbell

:43:03. > :43:06.under pressure and he will be desperate to close the gap, so

:43:06. > :43:16.Campbell needs a few extra points to give him that all important

:43:21. > :43:25.maintains a gap and the space between himself and Shimizu,

:43:26. > :43:31.because that brings the Japanese man into the contest a little bit.

:43:31. > :43:41.Campbell has got to adjust his feet, keep the gap and box at mid- and

:43:41. > :43:41.

:43:41. > :45:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:45:05. > :45:15.shots from Britain's Luke Campbell. move and moves around his opponent

:45:15. > :45:35.

:45:35. > :45:45.and stays off the ropes. To a good minutes from the man in blue.

:45:45. > :45:48.

:45:48. > :45:56.he is very predictable and he is open to that left hand. He has got

:45:56. > :46:02.a low left hand and is inviting that shot from Campbell. That was a

:46:02. > :46:12.good finish by Campbell. I think that is an even better round. 6-4

:46:12. > :46:13.

:46:13. > :46:23.they had given a 2 m. But Campbell leads by five points. Surely here

:46:23. > :46:24.

:46:24. > :46:28.it will not let this slip. He has got to stay focused now. There will

:46:28. > :46:38.be a big effort from the man in blue, he has done it in his

:46:38. > :46:46.previous contests. Now Campbell has got to do the same type of work. He

:46:46. > :46:54.has to negate his opponent's work on the inside. He is just tiring a

:46:54. > :47:04.little bit, Campbell. This man always comes on like a steam train

:47:04. > :47:14.in the last round. Here we go. Britain's Luke Campbell three

:47:14. > :47:15.

:47:15. > :47:25.minutes away from an Olympic boxing final. There is a five-point gap.

:47:25. > :47:42.

:47:42. > :47:48.Shimizu needs to outscore Campbell unknown and had to qualify in the

:47:48. > :47:52.Asian qualifiers to get here. But he certainly more than justified

:47:52. > :48:02.his selection and is giving Campbell a torrid time in this last

:48:02. > :48:21.

:48:21. > :48:31.round. But Campbell is not going to touching distance. Good footwork by

:48:31. > :48:36.

:48:36. > :48:46.Campbell. Shimizu's fitness and strength seems to have deserted him.

:48:46. > :48:46.

:48:46. > :48:56.Campbell is looking much more confident. We worry about the

:48:56. > :49:11.

:49:11. > :49:18.fitness of Luke Campbell, but he is face. His strength is starting to

:49:18. > :49:23.run out. Campbell has boxed cleverly. We did not see him at his

:49:23. > :49:27.best in the opening contest. But this is the former European

:49:27. > :49:37.champion at his very best. He knew his best would get him into the

:49:37. > :50:03.

:50:03. > :50:09.Olympic final. He is complaining solid all the way through a.

:50:09. > :50:19.Campbell is going to win this. Shimizu tries, but there is nothing

:50:19. > :50:19.

:50:19. > :50:26.left in the attack. An Olympic final for Campbell. The performance

:50:26. > :50:36.of his career. There is more to come. He will try to turn silver

:50:36. > :50:39.

:50:39. > :50:45.into gold. What a prospect. Luke Campbell had the bronze going into

:50:45. > :50:49.this contest and now he has got silver or gold. A great last-round

:50:49. > :50:57.from Campbell. His fitness was tested to write to the last seconds

:50:57. > :51:06.of this round. Then he replies with a straight one, two. He scored with

:51:06. > :51:12.accurate punches down the middle. Going back to the corner absolutely

:51:12. > :51:19.exhausted. That is what you would expect, but he is into the Olympic

:51:19. > :51:29.final. What a performance by Luke Campbell. Ladies and gentlemen, the

:51:29. > :51:42.

:51:43. > :51:48.winner by a score of 2211. The red corner. -- 22-11. The family and

:51:48. > :51:58.friends and supporters are simply ecstatic. What a performance by

:51:58. > :52:07.

:52:07. > :52:15.Luke Campbell. What a display all There is the talent. You are one

:52:15. > :52:19.step closer in Hull to having a golden post box because of this man.

:52:19. > :52:25.To be honest, we expected him to win that, but he dominated that

:52:25. > :52:33.final round. He is a really special, young British talent and he has

:52:33. > :52:41.made it. He will now take on John Joe Nevin and his with Gary.

:52:41. > :52:50.That was a cracking performance. Thank you. Again I was in a very

:52:50. > :52:55.tough bout, it was relentless, but I got the points en. Coming into

:52:55. > :53:02.the final round were you aware of the margin you had? Five points.

:53:02. > :53:08.I thought it was maybe one or two. That is what my corner told me. I

:53:08. > :53:14.made him fight in every round. I have got to be focused. They told

:53:14. > :53:19.you it was two points. That is clever psychology. Maybe, but you

:53:19. > :53:26.cannot switch off at this level. John Joe Nevin is next and you know

:53:26. > :53:31.him. A narrow victory last year. the world championships, a top

:53:31. > :53:37.fighter, and it will be a great final. Very well done. Thank you

:53:37. > :53:42.very much. Is that not fascinating, being told by the corner that he is

:53:43. > :53:47.only a couple of points ahead of his opponent. You can see Luke

:53:47. > :53:52.Campbell up against John Joe Nevin on the BBC. It is Ireland versus

:53:52. > :53:56.Great Britain for a gold medal. It has been great, all the action from

:53:56. > :54:00.the Excel Arena. The only disappointment is Paddy Barnes to

:54:00. > :54:05.struggle to make it through being beaten once again, even though it

:54:05. > :54:14.went all the way to countback. Let's get some thoughts from Amir

:54:14. > :54:20.Khan. He won no the boxes very well. Yes, he does. He was his former

:54:20. > :54:25.room-mate, Luke Campbell. Yes, he was. Since being an amateur and all

:54:25. > :54:30.the way through, we shared a room together and he is a good friend.

:54:30. > :54:35.Are you happy with the way he performed? He had to dig in. He did

:54:35. > :54:41.what he had to do. The first couple of rounds he won very comfortably

:54:41. > :54:48.and in the third round the other guy came out stronger. He was up

:54:48. > :54:55.five points anyway, so it was very good. There is only one year's

:54:55. > :55:01.difference between you and him, and you have turned pro in what seems

:55:01. > :55:05.like a long time. I am only one year older than him and we shared a

:55:05. > :55:10.room together and went to the world championships and the European

:55:10. > :55:16.Championships together. I have seen his career go on from that. I also

:55:16. > :55:20.went to the Olympics with him. He is the first man to be in the

:55:20. > :55:25.finals in the 2012 Olympics. I think he will win a gold medal and

:55:26. > :55:33.he is one of the fighters I said who would go the whole way. You may

:55:33. > :55:38.well be proved right. He is one of the four British men. We have been

:55:38. > :55:42.set up really early Friday average boys. Paddy Barnes was unlucky it

:55:42. > :55:52.went to count back against the world No. 1. I had him winning that

:55:52. > :55:55.

:55:55. > :55:59.fight. Yes, I the Chinese man won the last Olympics in Beijing. He

:55:59. > :56:05.threw more punches and was more accurate, but he did not get it.

:56:05. > :56:11.Also, he is 31 years old and maybe his time is coming to an end. Rio

:56:11. > :56:17.de Janeiro as far as Paddy is concerned is almost his to lose.

:56:17. > :56:22.Definitely, at that age this will be his last Olympics and maybe an

:56:22. > :56:26.Olympics to come if he stays amateur. Staying with the Irish

:56:26. > :56:30.theme, John Joe Nevin up next against Luke Campbell in the final,

:56:30. > :56:34.it will be a fantastic final, particularly in this arena. I am

:56:34. > :56:39.not sure who will get the better of the support, the Irish are the

:56:39. > :56:44.British. One thing about the Irish is they can make noise. I have been

:56:44. > :56:50.here a couple of days and they make a lot of noise. But Nevin is a good

:56:50. > :56:54.fighter and we saw him beat the Cuban and my good friend Luke

:56:54. > :56:59.Campbell is another good fighter and it will be a good fight. I will

:56:59. > :57:04.not tell you who is going to win that fight. Can all came third in

:57:04. > :57:09.the semi-finals of the world championships. Also talking about

:57:09. > :57:15.the home support and the margin of victory at the end, nine points.

:57:15. > :57:22.Being given that element of confidence before the Olympics'

:57:22. > :57:27.final. I think that will give him confidence. He was boxing a great

:57:27. > :57:33.fight and he had his hands tied. He was doing everything perfectly of

:57:33. > :57:38.offensively and defensively. It will be a close fight against Nevin.

:57:38. > :57:43.But look knows what to do and he is a better boxer and more skilful. He

:57:43. > :57:53.has got a lot more technique in his style. It will be a close fight,

:57:53. > :57:59.but I think Luke Campbell will take it. He was unbeaten over 23 fights

:57:59. > :58:04.last year, which is a phenomenal effort. Lots more to come, Fred

:58:04. > :58:09.Evans and Anthony Ogogo and Anthony Joshua. Three fighters to look

:58:09. > :58:14.forward to today. Definitely and Luke Campbell's when it will give

:58:14. > :58:22.them confidence. It will drive them a little bit. They are going to

:58:22. > :58:27.think if he can do it, we can do it. They are going to be full of

:58:27. > :58:30.confidence and the crowd is brilliant. The crowd drives you on.

:58:30. > :58:36.Especially in the last round when you thought he was slowing down a

:58:36. > :58:40.bit, the crowd motivated him. Anthony Ogogo is coming up sharply

:58:40. > :58:43.and he has an unbelievable story with his mum in hospital and she

:58:43. > :58:48.was in intensive care for a while with a brain haemorrhage and we

:58:48. > :58:53.wish him all the very best. That is not the ideal backdrop to go into

:58:53. > :58:59.the ring. Mentally he is very strong and he knows what is going

:58:59. > :59:06.on around him. I think he has put what is going on outside the ring

:59:06. > :59:12.to the side. This is life-changing for him. I am sure he will be

:59:12. > :59:17.thinking of his family and everything. But to be in the

:59:17. > :59:22.Olympics on top of all that at the same time... He does not mind the

:59:22. > :59:32.limelight. We know about that. Let's see how he fares this

:59:32. > :59:32.

:59:32. > :59:39.afternoon. We will go back to you over in the studio. We will be back

:59:39. > :59:47.with the boxing at about 3:10pm. You will see Anthony Ogogo fighting

:59:47. > :59:57.here live on BBC One just after 3 o'clock. Make a date for Saturday

:59:57. > :59:59.

:59:59. > :00:04.at 8:45pm with Luke Campbell up Another sport that is all about

:00:04. > :00:10.Punch and counter-punch but this time on the water. The men were

:00:10. > :00:19.made to wait 24 hours. Despite all of that, based till when not able

:00:19. > :00:27.to think of a wave to out Fox their Australian opponents. -- they still

:00:27. > :00:35.were not able to think of a way to outdo their Australian opponents.

:00:35. > :00:43.You said you were going to attack. What a gutsy race! We tried it. We

:00:43. > :00:50.got the better of them at the start. We managed to sneak ahead. We were

:00:50. > :00:58.hoping the fleet would be there. They sailed a fantastic race. We

:00:58. > :01:06.tried to attack when a kid. They held their nerve. They were worthy

:01:06. > :01:14.champions. -- when they could. First Games - silver medal.

:01:14. > :01:19.Fantastic! It is so good. It has been three, four years' hard work

:01:19. > :01:25.together. 15 years up there and we're standing on an Olympic podium.

:01:25. > :01:33.It is not gold but there is plenty of time. We're young boys and we

:01:33. > :01:41.mean business. For now, enjoy the moment. We are happy. We have loved

:01:41. > :01:50.watching you. Two great mates on an amazing journey. What a week!

:01:50. > :01:57.a place! We are in paradise. It is so cool. Isn't that lovely? What a

:01:57. > :02:03.week! Congratulations to them both. That was their Olympic debut. Out

:02:04. > :02:11.on the water as well, the Blairs were being late for our British

:02:11. > :02:21.women. Also in the 470 class. Here is Han and Saskia. They are

:02:21. > :02:21.

:02:21. > :02:25.celebrating a silver medal. -- Hannah. They are celebrating in

:02:25. > :02:31.style with all the fans on the water's edge. Let's see how they

:02:31. > :02:36.are feeling. We feel a bit gutted that we did not put on the good

:02:36. > :02:40.show. We had the Kiwis on the start-line and we let them go to

:02:40. > :02:49.the right. We were wedged in with a few boats and did not follow them

:02:49. > :02:59.out there. Renewed the gold medal was gone from us. The wind made it

:02:59. > :03:05.so tricky to predict. -- we knew. It was tricky. We wanted to get the

:03:05. > :03:12.left because it had a better breeze. The wind died and it was game over.

:03:12. > :03:18.Pretty gutted to be honest. We have had a wicked 18 months together. We

:03:18. > :03:23.have had a great time. It has been a phenomenal Jenny. You have

:03:23. > :03:33.progressed so quickly. You are getting a bit wet. It has been a

:03:33. > :03:34.

:03:34. > :03:39.great journey. Hannah Said she wanted to do it for you to make up

:03:39. > :03:45.for your disappointment in China. She is an absolute legend. We have

:03:45. > :03:52.had a wicked 18 months. 18 months ago, we put everything in to try

:03:52. > :03:58.and qualify for the team. It was just about qualifying. To have a

:03:58. > :04:04.medal together, it has been up and down all the way. We have had a

:04:04. > :04:08.wicked time. Go and enjoy the celebrations. It has been a great

:04:08. > :04:16.campaign. Well done for the silver. We will be watching when you get on

:04:16. > :04:21.the podium. Well done! Look at that! One of the stand out things

:04:21. > :04:26.about these Games is the emotion when a pair picks up a medal

:04:26. > :04:33.together is lovely. They had a celebratory cuddle. Congratulate us

:04:33. > :04:39.to everyone down on the water today. -- congratulations. I'm still

:04:39. > :04:44.recovering from the carnage on the BMX track yesterday. It is

:04:44. > :04:51.compelling to watch. Victoria Pendleton tweeted a bit earlier to

:04:51. > :04:59.say, I have just been denied access to the BMX. I think these days her

:04:59. > :05:05.base is have passed. A little later she said, I am at the BMX. It is a

:05:05. > :05:10.beautiful day. We are focusing on Liam Phillips and Shanaze Reade. We

:05:10. > :05:15.will be there live for the action in a while. Now we will speak to

:05:15. > :05:21.Helen Skelton. The crowds are out in force once again. So far they

:05:21. > :05:26.had done what they needed. Shanaze Reade did the time trial and put in

:05:26. > :05:33.a solid performance. She got the 5th fastest time. Liam did

:05:33. > :05:40.phenomenally well yesterday. He got out there - got at -- got round in

:05:40. > :05:44.one piece - and he only did three runs of the five. Today we have 32

:05:44. > :05:49.riders getting ready for the Olympic battle. We have the semi-

:05:49. > :05:53.finals and the finals of the men's and women's competition. You talked

:05:53. > :05:58.about it being compelling to watch. Back bed, the number of

:05:58. > :06:05.photographers has gone up for fault since yesterday. They are all

:06:05. > :06:11.gathered around the corner. -- four fault. Despite the crashes

:06:11. > :06:16.yesterday, at no one was seriously injured. No major injuries.

:06:16. > :06:21.Thankfully, the structure was not needed yesterday. With me is that

:06:21. > :06:27.five times BMX champion. You are Britain's best BMX racer ever.

:06:27. > :06:34.Jamie Staff has told me that so it must be true. Thank you. A pretty

:06:34. > :06:40.good career. This is a new event on the BMX Callander. It debuted in

:06:40. > :06:44.2008. How bigger deal is this to BMX riders? We have been trying for

:06:44. > :06:53.a long time. You can tell from the heats yesterday, the guys are

:06:53. > :06:56.pretty nervous. It comes around every four years. They are excited.

:06:57. > :07:03.You cannot imagine a BMX rider being nervous, bearing in mind what

:07:03. > :07:07.they take on. You are speaking to the defending champion, Maris

:07:07. > :07:12.Strombergs. He said he had to work hard yesterday and do all the five

:07:12. > :07:17.runs to get into the final. He said it took him a couple of laps to get

:07:17. > :07:22.into it. Hopefully he can continue that today. You'll find that with

:07:22. > :07:28.most of the riders. Liam just did the three runs. This is a really

:07:28. > :07:33.demanding course. We have no suspension. It does take it out of

:07:33. > :07:41.you, doesn't it? They trained for that. It is about being precise in

:07:41. > :07:45.the jumps and being precise on landing and taking off. Shanaze

:07:45. > :07:49.Reade, when every mention hat in Britain that people say, Beijing.

:07:49. > :07:54.But I was her, I would want to put that behind me. Because the people

:07:54. > :08:02.like me she has not been able to do that. It is dramatic and a story we

:08:02. > :08:06.like to tell. I totally agree. I'm sure she's sick of talking about it.

:08:06. > :08:13.It is four years later and she is on the gate for the Olympic Games.

:08:13. > :08:18.I'm sure she wants to put it to bed and win this raced -- race.

:08:18. > :08:27.gets her times to put it behind her today to stop her uncle and mother

:08:27. > :08:33.and in the crowd today. She has family watching home as well. I'm

:08:33. > :08:40.sure they will be as loud as the crowd here. That has been signature

:08:40. > :08:47.of these Games. After all the crashes on that yesterday, loads of

:08:47. > :08:54.photographers today. Five-times world champion in BMX, he does not

:08:54. > :09:00.world champion in BMX, he does not need to watch this. BMX - each race

:09:00. > :09:05.features eight riders competing on the track with lumps, bumps and

:09:05. > :09:12.corners. The race starts on an eight metre-high rank and usually -

:09:12. > :09:18.- ramp and usually lasts 40 seconds. They have one gear and one break.

:09:18. > :09:24.As a contact sport, collisions are not uncommon. Competitors must not

:09:24. > :09:29.deliberately impeded each other or false one another of the trap --

:09:29. > :09:35.track. The lead rider may choose his line but they are not allowed

:09:35. > :09:45.to block the line of any rider trying to pass. The race is a won

:09:45. > :09:50.

:09:50. > :09:54.as the front will crosses the gold medals. One for the men and

:09:54. > :09:59.one for the women. It begins with a time to a qualification round where

:09:59. > :10:05.each rider races solely against the clock, to determine their ceiling

:10:05. > :10:11.for the main race. The complex series of races followers. The top

:10:11. > :10:15.four from the semi-finals will enter the finals in a race for the

:10:16. > :10:25.medals. If you would like to get involved in Olympic sports, goat

:10:26. > :10:30.

:10:30. > :10:37.Some of the accidents and incidents we saw yesterday were unreal. They

:10:37. > :10:44.were sweeping teeth of the track. Fingers crossed, no one badly

:10:44. > :10:48.injured today. It is super dramatic. It is not just physical scars which

:11:26. > :11:30.Shanaze Reade is in the silver- medal position. She has crashed.

:11:30. > :11:36.Beijing made me part of what I am. I have a fantastic support team

:11:36. > :11:40.around me. My coach has pulled me back from the bottom. Others in a

:11:40. > :11:46.bad place after the Olympics. That is about my support team in getting

:11:46. > :11:54.the right people around you. I think that has been the biggest

:11:54. > :12:01.part of getting over Beijing. Beijing was a stop off on the way

:12:01. > :12:05.to the Olympics in London. Now it is light, London is here. It feels

:12:05. > :12:10.right. I'm really excited to go there and represent my country. I

:12:10. > :12:15.have been on the track. I think it is a really good course. It suits

:12:15. > :12:20.everyone. It has a bit of everything. It will make for a

:12:20. > :12:25.great race. You have to be so relaxed and so calm on the start

:12:25. > :12:32.gate. If not, that is when things go wrong. You need to be wanting to

:12:32. > :12:36.go, wanting to go out in front but be calm as possible. It can be hard.

:12:36. > :12:40.Especially when you are in the final and everyone is lined up.

:12:40. > :12:46.Girls are on the gate wanting to do the same as you. You need to learn

:12:46. > :12:52.to control your mind. For a long time I did not think I was capable

:12:52. > :12:56.of being Olympic champion. It was a dream. I thought, I am a fast BMX

:12:56. > :13:02.rider but I do not know if I can put it all together. There is doubt

:13:02. > :13:07.in my mind. Quite a few times a day, even if I am watching television -

:13:07. > :13:13.they are so many sports on the television - a Relate two Olympic

:13:13. > :13:18.champions. I can do this now and I can be Olympic champion. For the

:13:18. > :13:23.last four years, have focus has been on the Olympics. Have because

:13:39. > :13:46.he is supporting Shanaze Reade. We told you everyone wanted a ticket.

:14:12. > :14:21.you over to your commentators. start gate and how. Nodes are

:14:21. > :14:26.absolutely jangling. -- start gate now. There is a vertical plate to

:14:26. > :14:34.keep the front wheels from going forward. There is a hydraulic

:14:34. > :14:41.system which were extremely quickly. It is a random start. There is a

:14:41. > :14:48.time bracket for the gate to fall. There is no cheating. The official

:14:48. > :14:58.says, riders ready. Between two and five seconds later, the gate will

:15:03. > :15:08.Lane seven, Brooke Crain, she took an horrendous crash in seeding,

:15:08. > :15:18.which is why she has got a bad gait, but very powerful, just 19 years

:15:23. > :15:30.Getting Ready, this is her biggest events, she has been looking

:15:30. > :15:39.forward to this for four years, can she go out there in style? Very

:15:39. > :15:43.important, this first race. Stefany Hernandez, the Venezuelan. She has

:15:43. > :15:53.got a bit of pedigree, but it will be a big jump for her to make the

:15:53. > :15:55.

:15:55. > :15:59.finals. Alise post, one of the most daring young riders. Laetitia LOCOG

:15:59. > :16:09.deal, I think you're referred to her as the grandmother of this heat.

:16:09. > :16:24.

:16:24. > :16:30.but Buchanan were the insider line. She is tucked in just behind

:16:30. > :16:34.Caroline Buchanan. A lot of space there. Posters in third place,

:16:34. > :16:44.Buchanan out in front, this is the first of three races for this semi-

:16:44. > :17:14.

:17:14. > :17:18.riders, they just want to get around smoothly with no accidents.

:17:18. > :17:24.The last thing you want to do is an accident in your first heat.

:17:24. > :17:29.Shanaze Reade keeping low on the second jump, but Buchanan has the

:17:29. > :17:36.inside line, a slight advantage into the first turn. Popping out

:17:36. > :17:42.into the second turn. Shanaze had done so much work to cut off the

:17:42. > :17:47.Venezuelan, who used sea going down there. -- whom you see. Over the

:17:47. > :17:51.widow Maker. All of the riders taking that very comfortably,

:17:51. > :17:55.jumping that rather than trying to pump their way over it. I think

:17:55. > :18:00.that is definitely the safer option. The first ride for Shanaze Reade,

:18:00. > :18:10.nice and solid, she will be a lot calmer in the next run, we will see

:18:10. > :18:12.

:18:12. > :18:18.more of a challenge against considering she came from lane

:18:18. > :18:22.seven. Yes, and she absolutely replaced their Iain Martin from the

:18:22. > :18:27.USA, who was supposed to be out here today, up but she suffered an

:18:27. > :18:37.injury the day before coming here. -- Ariel marten. So the second

:18:37. > :18:57.

:18:57. > :19:01.semi-final is up at the start Sarah Their first Olympics. From the

:19:01. > :19:11.Czech Republic, Romana Labounkova. Then the Latvian, sorry, the

:19:11. > :19:17.

:19:17. > :19:22.just 18 years old, the Dutch team have come in so strong to these

:19:22. > :19:26.Olympics. Magalie Pottier, the world number one, the most

:19:26. > :19:31.consistent rider of 2012. Mariana Pajon, the Colombian, world

:19:31. > :19:36.champion in 2011, has not had a great 2012. Sarah Walker in the

:19:36. > :19:42.lane one. With the aggressive time- trial, let's see if she can repeat

:19:42. > :19:52.that performance today. A lot of people thought her Olympics was

:19:52. > :19:56.

:19:56. > :20:03.over after breaking a collarbone at fantastic start, though. Mariana

:20:03. > :20:08.Pajon keeps the inside, nice turn. She has done so little through 2012,

:20:08. > :20:14.and suddenly, when it counts, in the first Olympic semi-final, she

:20:14. > :20:20.cuts in. Magalie Pottier having a look on the inside, Laura Smulders

:20:20. > :20:25.coming through, a great battle. I think it is Aneta Hladikova in 4th.

:20:25. > :20:32.Laura Smulders has the inside line. Mariana pack on very comfortable in

:20:32. > :20:36.front. -- Maryam attack on. Disappointing ride for Sarah Walker,

:20:36. > :20:42.she was one of the fastest in the time-trial. She is not the best at

:20:42. > :20:46.the start, but if given a clean lap, she can perform, but she was cut

:20:46. > :20:51.out, unable to get everything that she wanted. Aneta Hladikova did a

:20:51. > :20:54.lot of good work, battling it out through the rhythm section. But

:20:54. > :20:59.Walker, I think, illustrating perfectly just how important a good

:20:59. > :21:04.start is here. Yes, absolutely, she was pulling back on the rhythm

:21:04. > :21:11.section, but then Laura Smulders put her up in the last turn, took

:21:11. > :21:18.airline, and she was unable to claim that for spot. Interestingly,

:21:18. > :21:24.oh, we have got the spinal boards out, which is never a good sign.

:21:24. > :21:28.Quite often this is just protocol, they just do it in a safe manner.

:21:28. > :21:34.Once the riders get back to the pit, 99% of the time they are able to

:21:34. > :21:38.walk away. It is just protocol, playing it safe. All of the riders,

:21:38. > :21:42.between their helmet and chest protection have a neck brace that

:21:42. > :21:50.stops the helmet rotating too far. It prevents a lot of spinal

:21:50. > :21:55.injuries. You can say that Marianna Akron in two, oh, they go, the

:21:55. > :21:59.Brazilian, Squel Stein, she got the first double wrong. She took

:21:59. > :22:02.advantage of the bad start from Sarah Walker and was able to close

:22:02. > :22:07.everybody else off. She is definitely a threat for this

:22:07. > :22:11.competition, absolutely, she has been getting really good start.

:22:11. > :22:16.she is huge in Colombia. A lot of these riders have a good profile,

:22:16. > :22:23.but she was the flag-bearer for Columbia, and I can guarantee you

:22:23. > :22:29.that a medal will put her home town on fire, they will be screaming and

:22:29. > :22:39.shouting. -- Columbia. So two very interesting semi-finals for the

:22:39. > :22:48.

:22:48. > :22:52.the world champion and Shanaze Reade, both first and second looked

:22:52. > :22:57.very comfortable, like the rider has come up once they got a second

:22:57. > :23:02.place cemented, they were not going to do something stupid. They were

:23:02. > :23:06.happy to take second. There is a lot of pressure on these riders,

:23:06. > :23:11.but when you get to that first turn and your position is somewhat set,

:23:11. > :23:14.you have come out of the first turn in second or third, a lot of the

:23:14. > :23:18.pressure is relieved and you are focusing on trying to get a smooth

:23:18. > :23:24.lap, Shanaze Reade was just cruising around, trying to stay

:23:24. > :23:28.upright, just finished, get a safe score, and that is what she did in

:23:28. > :23:33.second place. Looking at the replay, you could see the Brazilian, Squel

:23:33. > :23:36.Stein, landing in the grass and bouncing. To be honest, if the

:23:37. > :23:42.grass was not there, head back wheel might not have been grabs so

:23:42. > :23:46.much. She jumped, launched off the take-off, the back wheel came down

:23:46. > :23:50.short, and that probably through her body weight forward. As the

:23:50. > :23:55.back wheel went over the crest of the second one, that threw her over

:23:55. > :24:00.the handlebars, and she has landed about 20 feet past the end of that

:24:00. > :24:03.jump. I'm sure she has gone down with a big thumb. Hopefully, it is

:24:03. > :24:07.just standard protocol and she is not injured too much. But currently

:24:07. > :24:17.we are holding the men off until she is removed from the circuit.

:24:17. > :24:19.

:24:19. > :24:23.This is the men's cause, over the two doubles. -- Course. Then we go

:24:23. > :24:30.on to the right hand side of the fork. Over the crossover, the step

:24:30. > :24:33.up, the right hand turn, another step up, into the rhythm section.

:24:34. > :24:37.few big rowers, a big cascade before you join up with the women's

:24:37. > :24:43.cause, and then over the widow Maker that everybody is jumping.

:24:43. > :24:48.And then into the finish, 450 metres in total for the men, a

:24:48. > :24:53.little bit longer than they are used to, but they are hitting 65

:24:53. > :24:57.kph, just over 40 mph as they hit the bottom of the start ramp. We

:24:57. > :25:03.talked about this during the quarter finals, it is not top speed

:25:03. > :25:07.as such, it is the speed that you can get there, the acceleration.

:25:07. > :25:11.is the acceleration, and you will see them pedalling so fast,

:25:11. > :25:16.everyone will think, why wouldn't use a bigging year, but the start

:25:16. > :25:19.is so important. If you can sustain that and get yourself into the

:25:19. > :25:24.front of the race first ahead of your competition, quite often you

:25:24. > :25:29.can dictate the race. To be honest, these jumps are actually on the

:25:29. > :25:32.smaller side. They could jump twice as far if they really wanted to. So

:25:32. > :25:38.there is a huge element of acceleration out of the start,

:25:38. > :25:41.establish yourself in the race, tried to get to the front, and then

:25:41. > :25:44.it your body is absorbing the energy being thrown at the bike as

:25:44. > :25:47.it goes over those jumps. You're trying to keep it as low as

:25:47. > :25:55.possible so you can get back on the ground as quickly as possible and

:25:55. > :26:04.get the cranks in before the next jump. Well, at the moment, the

:26:04. > :26:09.Brazilian, Squel Stein, is just being carried off the course. In

:26:09. > :26:13.fact, it is because of the design of the draws and just how tightly

:26:14. > :26:19.packed everything is, that is what I have been trying to do, navigate

:26:19. > :26:26.a safe way off, but they are off now, and the guys are starting to

:26:26. > :26:31.line-up, the first of the men's semi-finals. First place in seeding,

:26:31. > :26:39.he won every single quarter-final, Raymon van der Biezen, he is the

:26:39. > :26:49.man to beat. Connor Fields, he won all of quarter-final No. Two. The

:26:49. > :26:54.

:26:54. > :27:04.Colombian, very good qualifying for taped up, I think. The Australian,

:27:04. > :27:06.

:27:06. > :27:11.Khalen Young. Tattooed wild child! Edzuz Treimanis. You can see the

:27:11. > :27:16.bandages on his nose, keeping it in place! Holding a lot of those tubes

:27:16. > :27:24.open, making sure he can breathe properly. Expect a big role here

:27:24. > :27:34.for Liam Phillips. He is in lane five. Quentin Calderon, a fast

:27:34. > :27:39.

:27:39. > :27:46.favourites here, looking very sharp in the quarter-finals. That will be

:27:46. > :27:54.a very tight battle between him and Raimond van doo-doo to get out of

:27:54. > :28:00.the traffic -- Raymon van der Biezen. A lot of work for Liam

:28:00. > :28:07.Phillips. A great start for Edzuz Treimanis, but Connor Fields and

:28:07. > :28:15.Raymon van der Biezen, a great start for Liam Phillips! Khalen

:28:15. > :28:21.Young has gone down. We have got five riders down. Liam Phillips is

:28:21. > :28:24.in second, he has just got to stay on his bike. Fantastic work, I do

:28:24. > :28:29.not know how much Liam Phillips for Raymon van der Biezen know about it,

:28:29. > :28:33.but they are showing everyone a clean pair of heels. The two

:28:33. > :28:39.Latvians are chasing him down. But right now it is Raymon van der

:28:39. > :28:45.Biezen followed by Liam Phillips, and then he M&S, a fantastic first

:28:45. > :28:51.race for Liam Phillips. I think Edzuz Treimanis is right on his

:28:51. > :28:55.back. It looks like Connor Fields gets fourth place. These guys, if

:28:55. > :29:00.that was me, I would have been peddling across the line, every

:29:00. > :29:05.position counts at this level of events. A big accident in the first

:29:05. > :29:15.turn, the tarmac is just grabbing those wheels. Khalen Young is

:29:15. > :29:20.having the worst London 2012. was Quentin Calderon who caused

:29:20. > :29:27.that accident. He went into Connor Fields. Nothing he could do,

:29:27. > :29:32.innocent bystander. Nowhere to go but come down. Khalen Young

:29:32. > :29:39.actually catches someone spiked right there, he goes down, too. --

:29:40. > :29:44.Yeah, I do not think I will take up BMX racing, that looks too

:29:44. > :29:50.dangerous to me! That is the drama unfolding by the Velodrome, and we

:29:50. > :29:54.will be back later, three heats in the semi-finals, but so far prayed

:29:54. > :30:00.for Shanaze Reade and Liam Phillips. These are live shots from the

:30:00. > :30:03.maxing ring. Anthony Ogogo rang his mum after his last win, he has got

:30:03. > :30:08.more reason than most, because his mother suffered a brain haemorrhage

:30:08. > :30:15.a few weeks ago. That is inspiring him to put a smile on her face at

:30:15. > :30:25.these Games. So far, so good, he is about to take on Brazil's Esquiva

:30:25. > :30:38.

:30:38. > :30:44.dozen people on the edge of their seats to see if Anthony Ogogo can

:30:44. > :30:51.come through against the man who beat him in the world championships

:30:51. > :31:01.in Azerbaijan last year full stump he is the 22-year-old - Esquiva

:31:01. > :31:06.Falcao Florentino pulls up -- last year. He overturned him by 17

:31:06. > :31:15.points to 12 last year will start Anthony Ogogo had to go to the

:31:15. > :31:23.European qualifiers as a result. The referee is having a word with

:31:23. > :31:33.them. Anthony Ogogo is the taller of the two. First thoughts are on

:31:33. > :31:34.

:31:34. > :31:38.what has been building up to an interesting contest will stump --

:31:38. > :31:48.contest. Anthony Ogogo needs to quicken his beat up and closed the

:31:48. > :31:49.

:31:49. > :31:57.gap dam will stop -- ft up and close the gap down. He is against

:31:57. > :32:05.an opponent who can hit hard with both hands. He has a good right

:32:05. > :32:15.hook. He needs to bury his approach. Good solid punching from Esquiva

:32:15. > :32:16.

:32:16. > :32:26.Falcao Florentino. -- very his approach will start -- vary his

:32:26. > :32:26.

:32:26. > :32:35.approach. Anthony Ogogo is trying to put his man off. I do not think

:32:35. > :32:44.that punch landed. The referee broke them up. Anthony Ogogo needs

:32:44. > :32:48.to keep out of the weight of the body shots of the Brazilian. -- the

:32:48. > :32:58.way. He has had all sorts of injury problems and his mother has not

:32:58. > :33:07.been very well. He prefers Anthony Ogogo to be in at close quarters.

:33:07. > :33:17.He needs to find room to land the shops downstairs. Esquiva Falcao

:33:17. > :33:17.

:33:17. > :33:22.Florentino has come steaming back. He uses his fists whenever he can.

:33:22. > :33:32.The last 20 or so in his opening round and who is your money on?

:33:32. > :33:32.

:33:33. > :33:41.is very even. It could be an even round. A tempting left hand from

:33:41. > :33:50.Anthony Ogogo, teasing his man for it. He is having none of it. The

:33:50. > :33:59.left hand is danger. Do not ducked into the shot. Three apiece. He had

:33:59. > :34:09.a good look at the man who beat him last it in a world. Dust relax and

:34:09. > :34:14.

:34:14. > :34:24.let it blow. -- just relax. Relax and let it blow. -- flow. I totally

:34:24. > :34:25.

:34:25. > :34:33.agree with him was dug he does need to relax. Tactically, if you can

:34:33. > :34:43.get your nose in front after the next grant -- at next round, it

:34:43. > :34:52.

:34:52. > :35:02.second round. The judges could not separate them after their first

:35:02. > :35:06.

:35:06. > :35:12.three minutes. He is bidding to be the first brothers to make it --

:35:12. > :35:17.reached the Olympic finals since 1976. I think Anthony Ogogo needs

:35:17. > :35:26.to target the left hook. The Brazilian has come forward a couple

:35:26. > :35:32.of times. He has a low lead hand. It is very low. He needs to take

:35:32. > :35:37.advantage of that. He sent shockwaves around the world of

:35:37. > :35:43.middleweight boxing having beaten the man from the Dominican Republic.

:35:43. > :35:51.He got the decision against the world No. 1 will start it was 18

:35:51. > :35:58.apiece on the judges' scoring. -- world No. 1. On the countback, they

:35:58. > :36:03.went in favour of Anthony Ogogo. He then beat a good German to get to

:36:03. > :36:11.the semi-final. He is about five minutes away from an Olympic final

:36:11. > :36:21.but he has some work to do. He has to do first and third balls dug he

:36:21. > :36:22.

:36:22. > :36:31.faints the first attack and that triggers off the response. -- first

:36:31. > :36:40.and third. Back they come again. Esquiva Falcao Florentino tried to

:36:40. > :36:45.tease Anthony Ogogo to come in. A bit better on the inside by Anthony

:36:45. > :36:55.Ogogo. He needs to keep his cover up. He responds to the Body Shop

:36:55. > :36:58.

:36:58. > :37:04.from Esquiva Falcao Florentino will start -- body shot. Esquiva Falcao

:37:04. > :37:10.Florentino gets very committed with his left hand. He needs to step

:37:10. > :37:19.back and work downstairs to the body with one shots. You'd have

:37:19. > :37:25.committed the Brazilian is. -- look have committed the Brazilian is.

:37:25. > :37:34.Anthony Ogogo is fresh and strong. Not a lot getting through from

:37:34. > :37:41.either boxer. That is better. Downstairs, switched the attack.

:37:41. > :37:50.Feint that the front foot. Make him commit and work downstairs. This is

:37:50. > :37:56.another close one. Anthony Ogogo needs another point. One either way.

:37:56. > :38:00.That was a good shot by Esquiva Falcao Florentino at the end of the

:38:00. > :38:10.rand. He finished strongly and Esquiva Falcao Florentino has won

:38:10. > :38:12.

:38:12. > :38:18.at the round. He really dead in. We thought the feet were slow. -- Dag

:38:18. > :38:28.in. The last 15, 20 seconds, the rand was even but then he started

:38:31. > :38:34.to get home with the left hand. -- be round. It was the one-twos that

:38:34. > :38:41.did the match - is a good the damage. Esquiva Falcao Florentino

:38:41. > :38:50.was starting to get through with his own punches. -- did the damage.

:38:50. > :38:59.They certainly affected him. can do this. Let the shot scope.

:38:59. > :39:07.needs to create the room to punch. That is what he has to do. Three

:39:07. > :39:12.points adrift. That was a slip. Demand picking himself up from the

:39:12. > :39:19.canvas is Anthony Ogogo. - us the man. The shot caught him while he

:39:19. > :39:29.was off balance. That will only count as one scoring. But it will

:39:29. > :39:32.not do his confidence any bid. Now there is a four point gap took over

:39:32. > :39:42.Campbell's de Esquiva Falcao Florentino is quicker with his

:39:42. > :39:42.

:39:42. > :39:49.hands. Anthony Ogogo is in a bit of trouble. If he takes a third count

:39:49. > :39:56.in this round, it is all over. He will not want to lose on stoppage.

:39:56. > :40:01.He has to get his focus back and just depend for about the next 30

:40:01. > :40:11.seconds or serve until the head clears. Esquiva Falcao Florentino

:40:11. > :40:13.

:40:13. > :40:17.punches like a meal. Anthony Ogogo is in a bit of trouble. -- a mule.

:40:17. > :40:23.Very fast punches from Esquiva Falcao Florentino at the beginning

:40:24. > :40:29.of the round. Anthony Ogogo has walked on to a couple. He is making

:40:29. > :40:38.mistakes and falling short. He needs to clear his head, get close

:40:39. > :40:45.to his man and start again. About 30 seconds or so have lapsed since

:40:45. > :40:50.the second knock-down. He is swinging widely. The rhythm is

:40:50. > :40:55.deserting him. Esquiva Falcao Florentino is looking far too

:40:55. > :41:04.strong. Those punters have really taken their toll. His beat has

:41:04. > :41:11.slowed down. -- punches. He needs to stay there. That was a bit low.

:41:11. > :41:18.Just over a minute to go. He was three points adrift at the start of

:41:18. > :41:23.the round. He took two standing counts. That was not a bad right

:41:23. > :41:28.hand but it was not delivered with a lot of them. Esquiva Falcao

:41:28. > :41:33.Florentino is so tough. Good footwork from the Brazilian.

:41:33. > :41:43.Anthony Ogogo is giving it everything, as we knew he would

:41:43. > :41:47.

:41:47. > :41:53.will start had ago, at San! Fast hands. -- have a go, son! From the

:41:53. > :41:59.opening 45 seconds of this last round, I think he has done enough.

:41:59. > :42:05.Good right by Anthony Ogogo. Can he do it against the number four seed

:42:06. > :42:11.and the bronze medallist from last year? He had a bad start to the

:42:11. > :42:17.round. The crowd is stamping their feet and rising to his efforts. He

:42:17. > :42:24.gets caught again. Keep your head up! Esquiva Falcao Florentino has

:42:24. > :42:30.won this contest. There was a period of maybe 45 seconds when he

:42:30. > :42:36.scored a lot of points, but Anthony Ogogo on the cambers. An exhausted

:42:36. > :42:43.Anthony Ogogo moves back to his corner. -- the canvas. Unless we

:42:43. > :42:47.have read it completely wrongly, his Olympic dream is over. It will

:42:47. > :42:51.be Esquiva Falcao Florentino who had answers to the middleweight

:42:51. > :43:00.final. Anthony Ogogo gave it everything but did not recover from

:43:01. > :43:06.those two shots. It was a good left hand. It was a terrific punch that

:43:06. > :43:12.caught Anthony Ogogo. He never really recovered. That took a lot

:43:12. > :43:21.out of him, that shot. Such a brave effort from Anthony Ogogo. He was

:43:21. > :43:25.off balance. His legs seemed slower from that point. This man has won

:43:25. > :43:32.it. Brazil will do well to keep him in the amateur ranks to the next

:43:32. > :43:39.Olympics in Rio in four years' time. The Brazilians are celebrating

:43:39. > :43:44.already and we feel with fairly decent reason. A piece of paper has

:43:44. > :43:54.been handed to the man on the PA system. The winner come up by a

:43:54. > :43:59.score of 16.29, Esquiva Falcao Florentino. From the moment Anthony

:43:59. > :44:06.Ogogo went down for his second time in the third and last round, the

:44:06. > :44:13.contest was always moving in the direction of the man from the sale.

:44:13. > :44:18.Congratulations to Anthony Ogogo, who has overcome so many problems.

:44:18. > :44:22.-- from Brazil. His family will be proud of his efforts. Esquiva

:44:22. > :44:31.Falcao Florentino has moved on to the final of the middleweight

:44:31. > :44:41.division. What a performer he is! 16-9 over all. Anthony Ogogo will

:44:41. > :44:47.

:44:48. > :44:53.have to be content with that for celebrations from the Brazilian

:44:53. > :44:59.corner. It just goes to show how hard it is to win a gold medal at

:44:59. > :45:03.the boxing in the Olympics. Anthony Ogogo is still leaves these games

:45:03. > :45:09.with a medal. He can add that to the silver medal he picked up in

:45:09. > :45:15.the Commonwealth Games a few years ago. Now back to the BMX racing. We

:45:15. > :45:20.have seen some amazing pictures. The kind of thing that has

:45:20. > :45:30.attracted that man to watch. So far, Shanaze Reade and Liam are riding

:45:30. > :45:40.

:45:40. > :45:43.really well. They both finished find her position. Sandra

:45:43. > :45:49.Aleksejeva, she did not manage to pull herself up the rankings, that

:45:49. > :45:53.is the least favourite lane for everyone pretty much. Maris

:45:53. > :45:59.Strombergs somehow seems to be able to turn it to his favour. Stefany

:45:59. > :46:06.Hernandez in seven. Lauren Reynolds did not have the best start, she

:46:06. > :46:12.has not managed to pull herself up through the gates. Shanaze has

:46:12. > :46:22.again picked gate 5 there. If she gets the good start, she can cut

:46:22. > :46:23.

:46:23. > :46:29.across. Brooke Crain, lane four. Laetitia le Corguille, one of two

:46:29. > :46:39.French women in these semi-finals. And in two, Alise Post, a little

:46:39. > :46:41.

:46:41. > :46:51.ball of dynamite, so explosive. And then Caroline Buchanan, first in a

:46:51. > :46:58.

:46:58. > :47:03.seeding and first in the last semi- Oh! And it is Laetitia le Corguille

:47:03. > :47:09.who has gone down, Shanaze has got a very clean line into the first

:47:09. > :47:13.turn. Somehow Buchanan has got caught up at the back. They are

:47:13. > :47:19.chasing Shanaze and out of the tunnel, but she has got a lot of

:47:19. > :47:24.space. That was Alise Post who went down. Stefany Hernandez in second,

:47:24. > :47:29.Buchanan trying to trace her down in third. Lauren Reynolds then

:47:30. > :47:36.Brooke Crain, but Shanaze Reade having an absolutely dream start, a

:47:36. > :47:40.dream finish. Shanaze Reade is almost guaranteed a place in the

:47:40. > :47:48.finals now. Somehow, Caroline Buchanan, from a terrible start,

:47:48. > :47:53.managed to claw that one back. Alise Post, she felt -- she felt

:47:53. > :47:58.almost... As we see from the start, Buchanan did not get the start she

:47:58. > :48:05.wanted. Shanaze Reade, good lane Choice, Out Of Trouble. Laetitia le

:48:05. > :48:13.Corguille did not even make it over the first and second jump. There

:48:13. > :48:18.must have been some contact with Buchanan. That is Brooke Crain and

:48:18. > :48:25.Hernandez... Sorry, that was Posed. Just getting off balance, unable to

:48:25. > :48:31.stay on the bike in the turn two. Buchanan taking just enough evasive

:48:31. > :48:34.action, fantastic slow-motion. Shanaze, with three features

:48:34. > :48:38.distance between her and second place, Buchanan, who somehow

:48:38. > :48:42.managed to reel in Hernandez. is really good for Shanaze, she

:48:42. > :48:46.will take huge confidence, and I could see the difference in the way

:48:46. > :48:51.she was riding, a lot more confident. This was the big

:48:51. > :48:55.question, she has not raised in any of the big races this year, how

:48:55. > :49:00.will she bear in traffic? But she was emphatic. That was a brilliant

:49:00. > :49:10.ride by Shanaze, she seems to be in the zone. Let's hope she can keep

:49:10. > :49:17.

:49:17. > :49:21.it up, and then I can pretty much women's semi-finals. -- they line

:49:21. > :49:29.up. Sarah Walker very disappointed, having come through the seedings so

:49:29. > :49:34.well. She had a very difficult start. She was knocked down the

:49:34. > :49:42.rankings of lane choice. Fantastic run for Mariana Pajon of Colombia,

:49:42. > :49:51.who had the dream season in 2011. But 2012 so far has not been that

:49:51. > :49:55.impressive. The crowd here get a little cue from the commentators

:49:55. > :50:05.just to quieten down, and you get this lovely hash just before they

:50:05. > :50:17.

:50:17. > :50:26.usual. She did very well in Beijing, I think is was 4th. Laura Smulders,

:50:26. > :50:36.just 18. She is coping so well with the pressure. Aneta Hladikova at.

:50:36. > :50:37.

:50:37. > :50:47.Squel Stein from Brazil will not be racing. Just seven riders now. Then

:50:47. > :50:58.

:50:58. > :51:05.Mariana Pajon from Colombia in lane a clean start, Sarah Walker does

:51:05. > :51:09.much better this time. She and Mariana Pajon out in front, Magalie

:51:09. > :51:13.Pottier a underneath Walker, taking second spot. Laura Smulders, Walker

:51:13. > :51:21.gets caught again, she is pushed wide and did not have any speed to

:51:21. > :51:27.clear. Mariana Pajon and Magalie Pottier out in front. Warfare is

:51:27. > :51:31.coming back, making her presence felt. -- Walker. They look like

:51:31. > :51:35.they are settled as they come into the final straight, Mariana Pajon

:51:35. > :51:41.just picking it up, Magalie Pottier accelerating but could not take

:51:41. > :51:49.care on the line. So Mariana Pajon, two semi-finals down, one to go,

:51:49. > :51:52.and she has two first places. Dream races. Absolutely. I am surprised

:51:52. > :51:56.by Sarah Walker, she seems to be handed off the boil. She had the

:51:56. > :52:06.lead coming down the first straight, but as she came out of the first

:52:06. > :52:15.

:52:15. > :52:20.turn, she seemed to back off, Liam Phillips and Shanaze Reade are

:52:21. > :52:24.doing well so far, just to clarify, there are two heats in the semi-

:52:25. > :52:29.finals, and each one goes three times. Shanaze has been around

:52:29. > :52:34.twice, she came in second in the first run, but you were surprised

:52:34. > :52:38.by her gate choice. She took the middle gate, and I ensue will be

:52:38. > :52:45.really confident and will start heading to they can incite gate.

:52:45. > :52:49.That will make it easier for her. Leah Phillips -- Liam Phillips,

:52:49. > :52:53.should he be feeling confident? has not made a mistake all weekend.

:52:53. > :52:58.Consistency is what it is about in the semi-finals, Top four would do

:52:58. > :53:03.it. That is the thing about this format, it rewards the most

:53:03. > :53:07.consistent rider. Definitely, we normally only run one semi-final,

:53:07. > :53:12.but it is three at the Olympics, and it is a way of getting the

:53:12. > :53:15.fastest guys through to the finals, it is working out. Five-time world

:53:15. > :53:25.BMX champion, is this a scene you ever thought you would see? We have

:53:25. > :53:25.

:53:25. > :53:31.as a fan it is amazing, it is good for the sport, they are loving it,

:53:31. > :53:35.and I think the riders and fans are loving it, it is a dream country to

:53:35. > :53:45.see BMX racing at the Olympics. Time now for Liam Phillips to go

:53:45. > :53:51.

:53:51. > :53:55.for his second run in the semi- up into the start gate, Liam

:53:55. > :54:05.Phillips there, Khalen Young, another disastrous run for him. He

:54:05. > :54:06.

:54:06. > :54:11.is out in lane late. -- 8. Quentin Calderon, a few people would have

:54:11. > :54:17.been looking sideways at him on the finish line, his mistake caused the

:54:17. > :54:22.crash macro in the heat. Edzuz Treimanis, his face is fully taped

:54:22. > :54:26.up, he smashed himself on the widow Maker at the start of the home

:54:26. > :54:32.straight, and now he has taped his nose to try to keep the airways

:54:32. > :54:42.open. Liam Phillips there, Connor Fields is their huge threat next to

:54:42. > :54:50.

:54:50. > :54:55.them. But he was taken down by result here in London 2012 apart

:54:56. > :55:05.from first so far. A good tactical move from Liam Phillips in lane

:55:06. > :55:12.

:55:12. > :55:16.start for Liam Phillips. Charging down the first straight, but Connor

:55:16. > :55:20.Fields is in action, to. Liam Phillips trying to find a clear

:55:20. > :55:25.line, he goes inside Connor Fields. He will have the inside line over

:55:25. > :55:31.the gap but outside into this complex. He is very happy there,

:55:31. > :55:35.everybody looks quite happy. Quentin has been trouble for a

:55:35. > :55:39.couple of people. Liam Phillips finding a clear line, but Connor

:55:39. > :55:44.Fields takes the lead in front of Raymon van der Biezen, the first

:55:44. > :55:49.person to pass him. They are neck- and-neck down the last straight.

:55:50. > :55:56.Smart riding by Liam Phillips, not driving himself to Crazy, a nice,

:55:56. > :56:00.safe finish, he will take third place. You saw Connor Fields fly

:56:00. > :56:04.down the rhythm section, he is so good on the track. He got a really

:56:04. > :56:08.good start, Liam Phillips really making him work for it. That is

:56:08. > :56:14.exactly what we were looking for, somebody challenging Raymon van der

:56:14. > :56:18.Biezen. Great first straight, so much for Liam Phillips to be

:56:18. > :56:24.confident about here through these semi-finals. He is racing against

:56:24. > :56:30.the two strongest riders we have seen, barring Sam Willoughby, maybe.

:56:30. > :56:35.He is holding his own very comfortably. Connor Fields will be

:56:35. > :56:40.very happy with that, building some more confidence. In the annex, it

:56:40. > :56:50.is all about confidence, finding rhythm, building confidence. -- in

:56:50. > :56:54.

:56:54. > :56:57.graphics now. Raymon van der Biezen has a first and a second. Connor

:56:58. > :57:04.Fields is level with Liam Phillips, but he has a first place, so he

:57:04. > :57:10.goes ahead of them, but a big gap, four points back to Jiminez. Then

:57:10. > :57:20.there is a bit all -- bit of a battle going on, any of them could

:57:20. > :57:33.

:57:33. > :57:38.take fourth place. Now the second Marc Willers up at the gate. He

:57:38. > :57:46.took a nasty crash, he did not finish the first race, and it does

:57:46. > :57:52.not look as if he will be lining up for the second semi-final race. Oh,

:57:52. > :57:56.no, they're he is! The dark horse, the last man to get on the startled.

:57:56. > :58:04.The black outfit against the black background, the Stealth bomber.

:58:04. > :58:10.Roger Rinderknecht in the lane eight. Then Marc Willers, so deadly

:58:10. > :58:17.in yesterday's quarter-finals, he has just gone off the boil here.

:58:17. > :58:27.Joris Daudet has not had the run he wanted. He will be desperate to get

:58:27. > :58:27.

:58:27. > :58:32.back in this. Twan van Gendt, his countryman of Raymon van der Biezen,

:58:32. > :58:38.then the reigning Olympic champion, Maris Strombergs, they call them

:58:38. > :58:46.the Machine. Not looking so good this weekend. The Colorado Kid,

:58:46. > :58:55.David Herman. Carlos Oquendo Zabala, very good at staying out of trouble.

:58:55. > :59:05.Sam Willoughby, gate one. Can he win the second heat in a row?

:59:05. > :59:15.

:59:15. > :59:20.there. Rates start for Twan van Gendt. -- the right start. Joris

:59:20. > :59:25.Daudet on the outside, Maris Strombergs is just behind. Twan van

:59:25. > :59:31.Gendt has got two lengths in front of Sam Willoughby. Joris Daudet

:59:31. > :59:36.just behind, then Maris Strombergs. Carlos Oquendo Zabala coming in at

:59:36. > :59:41.the inside. We'll be taking the lead into the last turn, a

:59:41. > :59:51.brilliant move. Joris Daudet has overcooked it, he could not get

:59:51. > :00:01.

:00:01. > :00:08.through. I think it belongs to the strong, isn't he? He was like a big

:00:08. > :00:14.cat, waiting in the undergrowth. He was waiting for him to make a

:00:15. > :00:22.mistake. He took him on the last corner. He lets Sam Willoughby know

:00:22. > :00:32.he will pick his line. Maris Strombergs was tucked in just under

:00:32. > :00:48.

:00:48. > :00:56.Joris Daudet. Sam Willoughby shut Willoughby. He stayed in contact

:00:56. > :01:04.with Twan van Gendt. He changed his line coming into the third straight.

:01:04. > :01:14.He positioned himself perfectly. set it up perfectly. Here we come -

:01:14. > :01:20.

:01:20. > :01:30.The action is coming thick and fast this afternoon. We will be back

:01:30. > :01:30.

:01:30. > :01:37.with BMX in a while. Now we will take you to Sam live taekwondo her.

:01:37. > :01:42.This man, Lutalo Muhammad, it is his moment of truth. He was

:01:42. > :01:47.controversially selected for these Games ahead of Aaron Cooke. Was it

:01:47. > :01:57.the right decision? Will he make it through to fight for a medal today?

:01:57. > :02:03.

:02:03. > :02:13.They have been busy painting a postbox this morning in gold. J

:02:13. > :02:16.

:02:16. > :02:21.Jones has the stamp with her face on it. -- Jade. He needs to prove

:02:21. > :02:31.he is the best man for the job. If he carries on winning, the chapter

:02:31. > :02:31.

:02:31. > :02:36.will not matter. From Walthamstow. He lives no more than five miles

:02:36. > :02:46.away from here in the crook of the River Thames. He is up against

:02:46. > :02:47.

:02:47. > :02:57.Nicolas Garcia Hemme. He is in the blue and Lutalo Muhammad is in the

:02:57. > :03:05.

:03:05. > :03:15.Lutalo Muhammad will have seen the work of J Jennings and Martin

:03:15. > :03:17.

:03:17. > :03:23.stamper. -- Jade Jones. Typical front leg style. He has moved into

:03:23. > :03:33.a closed stance. That means both players have the same Front lake in

:03:33. > :03:35.

:03:35. > :03:45.front. They are trying to invite the other player in. It took Lutalo

:03:45. > :03:46.

:03:46. > :03:51.Muhammad some time to find his range in that match against Farkhod

:03:51. > :04:00.Negmatov. The first penalty goes against the Spaniard. If he gets

:04:00. > :04:07.two, it turns red and there will be a point for the Britain. At this

:04:07. > :04:16.stage back it is much of a muchness in terms of tactics and strategy.

:04:16. > :04:21.He cannot let Lutalo Muhammad run at him. When he does, he is very

:04:21. > :04:31.dangerous indeed. He has found a place into this match and has got

:04:31. > :04:37.

:04:37. > :04:44.We draw to a close at the end of the first two-minute round. Lutalo

:04:44. > :04:52.Muhammad, deep breaths. He has worked hard to deal with all manner

:04:53. > :05:02.of offstage noises since he got his place ahead of their own code. He

:05:03. > :05:11.

:05:11. > :05:18.The only proof will be in the match itself. Lutalo Muhammad will be

:05:18. > :05:24.focused. He retains the full support of everyone. That shot from

:05:24. > :05:29.Garcia for some it was the low blow. Someone not watching his bearing

:05:29. > :05:39.could foster he has been talking to little earlier saying he could not

:05:39. > :05:45.

:05:45. > :05:54.bear to be here. -- is air and Coke. -- Aaron Cook. He has gone to the

:05:54. > :06:03.basketball instead. The 5th seed against Lutalo Muhammad. He is just

:06:03. > :06:08.21 and he is on the charge. That was over exuberance from the

:06:08. > :06:15.youngster. Garcia was on the Matt, incapacitated. Lutalo Muhammad will

:06:15. > :06:22.have to watch that. That was unnecessary and dangerous.

:06:22. > :06:29.overly costly on the scoreboard. They both got a point apiece. 30

:06:29. > :06:39.seconds gone in the second round. Just getting over excited. He came

:06:39. > :06:49.over the top. That is why there was a full point deduction. The Front

:06:49. > :06:50.

:06:50. > :06:59.lake is the one closest the opponent and vice versa. -- front

:06:59. > :07:07.leg. If you are wondering what all the fuss is about, those electronic

:07:07. > :07:12.sensors are triggered when the foot hits it. They used to be barefooted.

:07:12. > :07:19.Those white socks have devices inside which will show up the score

:07:19. > :07:25.when the body is hit. Sometimes they show up the school. I think

:07:25. > :07:31.that Lutalo Muhammad was convinced one of those kicks ought to have

:07:31. > :07:36.registered. Unless it goes on the scoreboard, the automatic points

:07:36. > :07:42.scored by the computer system and not the corner judges. It may be

:07:42. > :07:47.that corner judges that decide the match. Probably Lutalo Muhammad is

:07:47. > :07:57.better at going to be heard. That could be the changing shot. -- at

:07:57. > :08:04.their head. That was well blocked by the Spaniards. The judges have

:08:04. > :08:10.hand-held consoles. If they press them within half a second at the

:08:10. > :08:15.same time and agree with each other, then the head shot is given. It has

:08:15. > :08:22.to be a consensus. A penalty goes against the name of Lutalo Muhammad.

:08:22. > :08:25.He needs to be careful. He is treading a fine line. There have

:08:25. > :08:30.been a few breaches and contraventions of the laws of the

:08:30. > :08:38.land. He will not mind if he can keep it at one apiece at this stage

:08:38. > :08:44.was dug he is saying the head shots and not working. -- this stage.

:08:44. > :08:51.Taekwondo is the art of kicking and punching and the art of blocking.

:08:51. > :08:58.Their hands are always up, always raised, trying to cover. That is

:08:58. > :09:06.unacceptable. That is why he lost a full point. The referee actually

:09:06. > :09:13.tried to stop him from doing it. Not clear to see what the danger

:09:14. > :09:21.was. It does not get any better at the third time of looking at it.

:09:21. > :09:30.The Spaniard, I think we have seen he is not exactly their answer to

:09:30. > :09:40.Barcelona. He is an awkward opponent. He is providing more than

:09:40. > :09:42.

:09:42. > :09:49.awkward enough. A good head shot from the Spaniard. No laughing

:09:49. > :09:53.matter. Garcia has the three points that puts Lutalo Muhammad behind.

:09:53. > :09:58.But, the British coach has seen something he was not entirely happy

:09:58. > :10:04.with and he is suggesting that a head shot did not connect. That is

:10:04. > :10:11.the reason for the red card. Spanish coaches have the blue card.

:10:11. > :10:18.It is all very formal. It occurs in the middle of a sport where two

:10:18. > :10:28.blokes are trying to knock each other's blocks off. It is up to him

:10:28. > :10:35.to view the footage. Let's have a look at it for ourselves. That is

:10:35. > :10:42.not the shot we're trying to look at. There is an issue. The video

:10:42. > :10:48.replay that the judges are looking at, while it is this one at the

:10:48. > :10:53.moment, they do have other angles as well. There are five separate

:10:53. > :10:59.cameras. We can see that the British appeal has been in vain.

:10:59. > :11:04.The referee will pocket the card. That means there are no more coming.

:11:04. > :11:11.Lutalo Muhammad is on his own now. He does have the strength and

:11:11. > :11:16.intensity to keep him on the back foot. If he can knock him down like

:11:16. > :11:25.that, once or twice more, the referee will start to look at

:11:25. > :11:32.deductions. That could pay dividends for Lutalo Muhammad. Not

:11:32. > :11:42.with enough accuracy. You need sustained impact for the two point

:11:42. > :11:52.

:11:52. > :12:00.shots. Raising the leg. Whether You can see the socks with the

:12:00. > :12:07.electronic sensor on the bottom - on the instep. Whatever electrical

:12:07. > :12:12.devices are in man. The pits under the feet of Lutalo Muhammad have

:12:12. > :12:22.not committed enough with the torso. He needs to give the Spaniard at

:12:22. > :12:29.Hove sandwich or two. That was the good flurry of action. Into the

:12:29. > :12:37.final quarter of a minute. Good the 10th to kick over the shoulder. It

:12:37. > :12:47.did not seem there was much contact. -- good attempt. He might have to

:12:47. > :12:52.change his tactics. It has been off front leg chops. Will he let it go?

:12:52. > :13:00.He is born and bred in his London. He is fighting in a part of the

:13:00. > :13:10.world he knows best. -- East London. Time is ticking away. There is the

:13:10. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:15.front leg counter. It has been all Garcia. There has been a lot of

:13:15. > :13:21.effort going into the twists and turns and kicks from Lutalo

:13:21. > :13:31.Muhammad but the sad truth is come up from a British point of view, it

:13:31. > :13:36.

:13:36. > :13:40.One or two seconds. The end. It might not be the end of the great

:13:40. > :13:48.British taekwondo debate. With Lutalo Muhammad having gone out in

:13:48. > :13:58.the quarter-finals, there will be those who say it should have been

:13:58. > :14:00.

:14:00. > :14:05.Aaron Cook. He has been defeated many times by Aaron Cooke. That is

:14:05. > :14:09.the key point. As much as Lutalo Muhammad is the other man in the

:14:09. > :14:16.selection storm, it is not his fault. He was offered the place and

:14:16. > :14:26.he took it. He has come up short but it will be a Spaniard and not a

:14:26. > :14:29.

:14:29. > :14:34.Briton going into the Olympic semi- very shortly as Shanaze Reade and

:14:35. > :14:41.Liam Phillips looked to make it through to the finals of the action.

:14:41. > :14:47.Shanaze Reade is in gate 1, let's joined the action.

:14:47. > :14:55.One of the biggest start hills in Britain. At the bottom of that hill,

:14:55. > :15:04.they have accelerated to 65 kph. Lauren Reynolds with her pink ribs

:15:04. > :15:14.and pink shoes, lane eight. From Latvia, Sandra Aleksejeva. After

:15:14. > :15:23.that fall on the first jump, Laetitia le Corguille. Alise Post

:15:23. > :15:29.so strong this year in supergrass. -- Supergrass. Stefany Hernandez of

:15:29. > :15:36.Venezuela. And then dethroned from her first place seeding, Caroline

:15:37. > :15:40.Buchanan in three. That was for Arielle Martin, the woman she

:15:40. > :15:50.replaced at the start of this week. But with a big cheer from the crowd,

:15:50. > :16:00.

:16:00. > :16:04.Shanaze Reade in lane one. They are Buchanan, but Shanaze is floating

:16:04. > :16:10.very nicely. She clipped the second one a little bit, and Buchanan has

:16:10. > :16:16.got in front. Shanaze is holding up his second at the moment. Laetitia

:16:16. > :16:19.le Corguille is not making a move as they go into the hole. Shanaze

:16:19. > :16:24.is being challenged by Laetitia le Corguille, but she is holding their

:16:24. > :16:28.off. Buchanan has taken the lead, Shanaze just needs to stay upright.

:16:29. > :16:34.They come through the last turn and into the finish straight, she has a

:16:34. > :16:43.chance to take you can and if she wants. Just happy to coast in in

:16:43. > :16:49.seconds, very good work. So Lauren Reynolds just coming off on the

:16:49. > :16:54.second straight. Very interesting race. Alise Post on the last

:16:54. > :16:59.straight. Giving it absolutely everything. She is hurt, she is

:17:00. > :17:05.trying to get up, she wants to finish the race. She is absolutely

:17:05. > :17:10.desperate, she knows she stands a chance. She is crawling up the face

:17:10. > :17:20.of the jump! And there will be two who did not finish, by the looks of

:17:20. > :17:24.it. These BMX riders, ladies and gentleman, they have big hearts.

:17:24. > :17:34.All they want to do is finish that race. Alise Post is being walked to

:17:34. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:52.the finish line, she is absolutely early. Thumping her fist in

:17:52. > :17:57.frustration. Going down so quickly, you just do not have time to react

:17:57. > :18:03.to that. You do not. Shanaze Reade taking the safe option, letting

:18:03. > :18:07.Buchanan take the lead. She just wanted to come out safe. She just

:18:07. > :18:11.wanted a smooth lap, that was a tactical move. Laetitia le

:18:11. > :18:16.Corguille putting a lot of pressure on Shanaze, very interesting to see

:18:16. > :18:21.Shanaze deal with that as well. We have talked about it so much, she

:18:21. > :18:24.has not had a race experience, she has not been in traffic, but she

:18:24. > :18:30.held off Laetitia le Corguille and Brooke Crain and gave Buchanan a

:18:30. > :18:34.run for their money. So the qualifying spots go to Caroline

:18:34. > :18:39.Buchanan, Shanaze Reade, Brooke Crain and Laetitia le Corguille,

:18:39. > :18:47.even after she fell. So those four riders will go into the Olympic

:18:47. > :18:53.final. No surprises, no major surprises anyway. And this is how

:18:53. > :19:03.the next semi-final lines up, Mariana Pajon from Colombia has two

:19:03. > :19:05.

:19:05. > :19:10.first places. She is out in lane eight. Romana Labounkova, the

:19:10. > :19:14.Lithuanian, Vilma Rimsaite. Aneta Hladikova has hung around the back

:19:14. > :19:20.of the pack in some of these races, she has not managed to get into the

:19:20. > :19:25.top four. Sarah Walker, big smile. She is always smiling, she has

:19:25. > :19:29.always got a fantastic attitude. She is going to have to work at.

:19:29. > :19:33.Laura Smulders, seven points, sitting in third. That is good for

:19:33. > :19:39.her. Magalie Pottier. As long as she can come through this

:19:39. > :19:44.relatively unscathed, she will be looking comfortable. The explosive

:19:44. > :19:49.ball of Colombian power, Mariana Pajon. Two first places from their

:19:49. > :19:57.semi-final. So big performances needed from Sarah Walker and Laura

:19:57. > :20:04.Smulders and Aneta Hladikova. She is looking to break into the top

:20:04. > :20:09.four and qualify for the final. The gate is down, and it is a great

:20:10. > :20:17.start for Magalie Pottier in two. Mariana Pajon clothing that jump,

:20:17. > :20:20.and it is Walker as they come into the first corner. Now, all three of

:20:20. > :20:23.them, great work from Magalie Pottier A, she looks very

:20:23. > :20:29.comfortable, but Sarah Walker finally looking comfortable on her

:20:29. > :20:33.bike. But Laura Smulders making a nuisance of herself. Walker,

:20:33. > :20:37.interestingly, we have seen some ghost rider footage of the ones to

:20:37. > :20:44.jump those, and it paid off for Sarah Walker. Mariana Pajon

:20:44. > :20:48.comfortably in early. Laura Smulders is 4th. That is the top

:20:48. > :20:55.four riders to progress through to the final. The other four really

:20:55. > :20:59.not getting a look-in there. No, no major surprises, Mariana Pajon

:20:59. > :21:03.definitely standing her authority today, she looks fantastic. With

:21:03. > :21:08.those results, she will get first gate selection in the final.

:21:08. > :21:13.lowest points of anyone going into the final, she will probably pick

:21:13. > :21:17.number one, like she did in this heat. Fantastic start from her,

:21:17. > :21:24.Sarah Walker getting a really good start, not able to get into first

:21:24. > :21:31.position there. Magalie Pottier A Lucking at Mariana Pajon, hunting

:21:31. > :21:37.head down. -- looking. Wore her taking a little bit of a higher

:21:37. > :21:41.line, coming down on the inside. Walker. Mariana Pajon, she must

:21:41. > :21:45.have incredible power output for the size, she is more, but she is

:21:45. > :21:49.really thumping away through these tense. She is a good bike rider,

:21:49. > :21:54.great skill, handling this track with these, even throwing in the

:21:54. > :21:59.kick out! Laura Smulders, the Dutch lady in 4th, does not have the

:21:59. > :22:09.greatest start. Right. But she has made a nuisance of herself by the

:22:09. > :22:12.

:22:12. > :22:19.is definitely into the final later this afternoon, so she will be

:22:19. > :22:23.going for gold. It was gold or bust in Beijing, it did not pay off, she

:22:23. > :22:29.will be hoping to put that to bear this afternoon. Dale Holmes, former

:22:29. > :22:33.champion, I feel ill with nerves. have not raced for a while, and my

:22:33. > :22:37.stomach is churning! You feel for the riders, the pressure, what they

:22:37. > :22:41.have gone through to qualify, to be so close to making the final and

:22:41. > :22:45.going for a medal. It is nerve- racking for everybody involved.

:22:45. > :22:50.is unusual for the riders to have such a big crowd, and they are

:22:50. > :22:53.desperate to put on a great show. This is new for our sport. After

:22:53. > :22:57.Beijing, it is our chance for the sport to get out in the real world

:22:57. > :23:02.and for the riders to financially make some money, maybe attract some

:23:02. > :23:07.sponsorship. You know, all of that is important, but the guys still

:23:07. > :23:10.wants to win as well. It is different, but we are like in it.

:23:10. > :23:14.It is nail-biting, bones are being broken. We have just seen Alise

:23:14. > :23:20.Post being walked over the line, fingers crossed it is a better day

:23:20. > :23:30.for Liam Fox -- Liam Phillips, who is about to go on his third run in

:23:30. > :23:31.

:23:31. > :23:37.Great Britain. Raymon van der Biezen, the fastest man until the

:23:37. > :23:43.last race, which he lasts to this man, his first loss, and it went to

:23:43. > :23:53.Connor Fields. He one each of yesterday's quarter-finals. -- E

:23:53. > :24:03.

:24:03. > :24:07.clean. Rates start from Liam Phillips. B and Connor Fields, Liam

:24:07. > :24:10.Phillips looking very comfortable. Raymon van der Biezen getting

:24:10. > :24:17.schooled down the first straight, but now we're starting to make his

:24:17. > :24:21.presence felt. Edzuz Treimanis are on the inside, Liam Phillips just

:24:21. > :24:27.tagging that John. It is Connor Fields followed by Edzuz Treimanis.

:24:27. > :24:31.Raymon van der Biezen dropped back to 4th. Edzuz Treimanis has a clean

:24:31. > :24:39.line, just behind the back wheel of Connor Fields. Liam Phillips, but

:24:39. > :24:44.from nowhere it is Jimenez. Liam Phillips was shaking his head.

:24:44. > :24:50.did make a couple of mistakes. He will be disappointed with that.

:24:50. > :24:55.an incredible ride from Edzuz Treimanis, from lane eight, it was

:24:55. > :24:59.like he had taken a set of Maris Strombergs power, you should not be

:24:59. > :25:03.doing that from there. A great start, he just cuts across. You are

:25:03. > :25:08.allowed to do that, as long as it is not too aggressive. Obviously

:25:08. > :25:15.you want to be on the inside. Amazingly, Jimenez is on the far

:25:15. > :25:18.left of the picture, somehow he fights his way back. Great racing.

:25:18. > :25:22.Connor Fields, Liam Phillips, Raymon van der Biezen all coming

:25:22. > :25:28.through, Edzuz Treimanis and the outside. Raymon van der Biezen not

:25:28. > :25:35.really impressing in that third moto. Connor Fields took control,

:25:35. > :25:41.looking fantastic. We just saw the back of Liam Phillips bouncing off

:25:41. > :25:48.the knuckle of the jump between the stand up and turn four. So Connor

:25:48. > :25:53.Fields, Edzuz Treimanis... Liam Phillips just getting done by

:25:53. > :26:00.Jimenez on the line, you can see what it means to him. So Edzuz

:26:00. > :26:04.Treimanis, despite an incredible performance, does not qualify. It

:26:04. > :26:09.is Jimenez with 12, Liam Phillips with nine, Raymon van der Biezen

:26:10. > :26:15.with 8, Connor Fields with sex, a very open field. What I am looking

:26:15. > :26:20.at right now, Liam Phillips, nine points, that will not getting a

:26:20. > :26:24.great gate choice, probably 5th or sixth. You say that, a lot of

:26:25. > :26:30.riders are already on nine points, only Twan van Gendt and Sam

:26:30. > :26:34.Willoughby can stay and do that. Unless Twan van Gendt gets second

:26:34. > :26:42.or better, he will slip down the rankings of it, so it may not be

:26:42. > :26:49.disastrous for Liam Phillips. Sam Willoughby, an immaculate ride from

:26:49. > :26:53.him so far today. The Australian is on the right hand side. He is

:26:53. > :27:03.presiding over the other riders in the gate, from the throne of gate

:27:03. > :27:11.

:27:11. > :27:17.number one. Roger Rinderknecht, semi-final, just seven points for

:27:17. > :27:23.Oquendo, currently third. The reigning Olympic champion, eight

:27:23. > :27:30.points, Maris Strombergs. The Frenchman, Joris Daudet, nine

:27:30. > :27:36.points. Twan van Gendt is on seven points, you can see as we come

:27:36. > :27:41.through, Sam Willoughby on two. Twan van Gendt on seven, second

:27:41. > :27:46.place, and then their men in sixth place on nine. Only two points

:27:46. > :27:54.separating them. Maris Strombergs needs to beat Joris Daudet and

:27:54. > :27:58.Herman. Out of the Day, a bad start for Sam Willoughby, Twan van Gendt

:27:58. > :28:06.does very well. Maris Strombergs and Twan van Gendt looking very

:28:06. > :28:13.good. Takeover hard through that first berm. Joris Daudet... Oh, he

:28:13. > :28:17.is down! Somehow, the American has not caught up again, he has had bad

:28:17. > :28:23.luck in crisis. Twan van Gendt is out Air France, Maris Strombergs in

:28:24. > :28:28.second. -- out in front. Willoughby is so fast down the

:28:28. > :28:36.rhythm section. He could take Maris Strombergs CEOP. Twan van Gendt,

:28:36. > :28:41.Maris Strombergs, Sam Willoughby, Oquendo. A very, very good race

:28:41. > :28:45.there 4 Twan van Gendt. He has not been that good on the back section

:28:45. > :28:51.of the course, a lot of riders have caught up with him, but he held on

:28:51. > :29:01.to that lead all the way. I think that was the leading man giving him

:29:01. > :29:02.

:29:02. > :29:12.Strombergs and the pressure, I told you he could step up when there was

:29:12. > :29:26.

:29:26. > :29:35.pressure, and he proved right there Stadium Twan van Gendt. He gets the

:29:35. > :29:45.line up the inside. -- turn for Twan van Gendt. He did very well.

:29:45. > :29:45.

:29:45. > :29:55.He took that perfectly pulls up Ben Joris Daudet catches David Herman.

:29:55. > :29:56.

:29:56. > :30:03.That is the end of his race. Maris Strombergs manages to make his way

:30:03. > :30:09.into second place. He is just off Twan van Gendt. You talked about

:30:09. > :30:15.Sam Willoughby. His speed is phenomenal. He comes flying past

:30:15. > :30:25.the Colombian. We did not quite see his challenge down the third

:30:25. > :30:27.

:30:27. > :30:35.straight but Sam Willoughby is so If you want to watch the sport S X

:30:35. > :30:44.two so excited to feel sick, this is the one to go fog. -- watched a

:30:44. > :30:50.sport that gets you so excited. Shanaze Reade, after all the media

:30:50. > :30:55.and hype, she is showing she is here for gold. She is riding a

:30:55. > :31:02.smart race. She has not raced match this year. A lot of people are

:31:02. > :31:06.saying she does not have the experience in traffic. -- raced

:31:06. > :31:11.match. Staying home and training can be good. But you can lose

:31:11. > :31:17.confidence in not being on the circuit. Those on the circuit are

:31:18. > :31:25.raising a lot. We would go - as Abba we will find out which one

:31:25. > :31:31.works. Liam Phillips came in 12 p yesterday. -- we will find out.

:31:32. > :31:38.has not made a mistake all weekend. He is riding consistently, seconds

:31:38. > :31:43.and thirds all day. He is putting himself on the big show. No major

:31:43. > :31:51.shocks in the women's final. Some of the big hitters for the men are

:31:51. > :31:56.already out. David Herman is bad. Only eight guys make the final. --

:31:56. > :32:03.is out. Eight guys in the final, only three of them will go home

:32:03. > :32:13.with medals. Will it be Shanaze Reade and Liam Phillips? We will
