Nice to see you. Thank you for joining us and welcome to the final

:00:54.:00:59.

Friday of the 2012 Olympic Games. In 48 hours, the stadium will be

:00:59.:01:05.

preparing to bid farewell to the athletes, but plenty more to come

:01:05.:01:10.

and this afternoon is not for the faint hearted. Expect passion and

:01:10.:01:19.

power in the boxing ring. We will be back at the BMX a Reina shortly,

:01:19.:01:25.

and taekwondo gold a potential for Britain.

:01:25.:01:30.

The medal races were delayed yesterday in the failing. Luke

:01:30.:01:34.

Patience and Stuart Bithell took silver as the Aussies lived up to

:01:34.:01:40.

their billing as favourites. This is Australia's most successful ever

:01:40.:01:48.

sailing regatta. The women's crew also took silver. Sadly, the Brits

:01:48.:01:52.

gave New Zealand an early lead and they were never able to bridge the

:01:52.:01:57.

gap to take the gold medal. They would have loved to, of course.

:01:57.:02:00.

Obvious disappointment but the thing to remember is that once

:02:00.:02:05.

again, out on the water at Weymouth, we continued our success and that

:02:05.:02:12.

is another two silver medals, so congratulations to them. Defeat

:02:12.:02:16.

today but from the Olympic Games, they can consider themselves

:02:16.:02:25.

winners. A busy afternoon of boxing. Semi-finals featuring two Irish and

:02:25.:02:30.

two British boxing's coming up. Whilst Irish eyes will have been

:02:30.:02:39.

smiling after educated Taylor's win, -- after Katie Taylor's win, let's

:02:39.:02:49.
:02:49.:02:50.

take you back to beat ExCeL Centre as the men were continuing. Paddy

:02:50.:02:56.

got a bronze in Beijing and said they were for loses. We join the

:02:56.:03:01.

fight at the start of the second round, Paddy is trailing 8-5. At

:03:01.:03:11.
:03:11.:03:13.

least he has some points on the Olympic champion. No. 1 seed for

:03:13.:03:18.

this tournament, although he will be ranked world number two. He beat

:03:18.:03:27.

the Cuban and the boxer from Kazakhstan. Paddy Barnes also got a

:03:27.:03:37.

by. The referee let him get away with that, interesting. The little

:03:37.:03:40.

boy from Belfast, the Commonwealth champion from a deli a couple of

:03:40.:03:50.
:03:50.:03:51.

years ago, European Championship the same year -- from Delhi. Paddy

:03:51.:04:01.
:04:01.:04:34.

has got to quicken up his feet and You must face your opponent at all

:04:34.:04:44.
:04:44.:05:13.

pressure is what is needed from Barnes. He is as crafty as a fox, a

:05:13.:05:22.

rascal. One minute to go now. This round is a little bit closer than

:05:22.:05:32.
:05:32.:05:47.

the last but the last was won by to adjust his feet because you know

:05:47.:05:57.
:05:57.:06:03.

that the Chinese man will try to man from China. He is not to

:06:03.:06:13.
:06:13.:06:49.

everybody's taste but he is a very round by Paddy. Only three points

:06:49.:06:56.

adrift. Tactics will be absolutely crucial. The Irish caller said, it

:06:56.:07:01.

is all or nothing, you have to go for him now. He slowed his feet

:07:01.:07:06.

down coming forward slightly, Barnes. I would send Paddy Barnes

:07:07.:07:11.

out if I had to go one way or another just because of the

:07:11.:07:21.
:07:21.:07:46.

hear him there. They are trying to adrift, he needs a non stop

:07:46.:07:51.

punishing round against the man who has been a number one boxer in this

:07:51.:08:01.
:08:01.:08:40.

moment, it's 11-8. That's good by Barnes. Barnes is getting a bit

:08:41.:08:50.
:08:51.:09:02.

frustrated. He has to pick himself This might just suit him! Does Zou

:09:02.:09:12.
:09:12.:09:37.

fancy a tear up? Because Paddy again! He hurt him and he is down!

:09:37.:09:42.

Should that had been a red card, he got him on the canvas? He just

:09:42.:09:49.

turned away didn't he, and sell to the canvas. He is playing into the

:09:49.:09:59.

Irishmen's hands, Zou. I think Barnes has closed the gap! There is

:09:59.:10:05.

still another minute to go. This will be a very difficult minute for

:10:05.:10:15.
:10:15.:10:38.

stage. Barnes has just got to go for it now. Threes and four ats,

:10:38.:10:48.
:10:48.:10:53.

get to your man, quicken your feet that be the one that goes in his

:10:53.:11:03.
:11:03.:11:17.

we have seen from the best boxer in the world. Is it going to be

:11:17.:11:25.

enough? Both sets of hands go up. He reckons he has squeezed it home,

:11:25.:11:32.

Zou, and he might just have. That was a very close last round. This

:11:32.:11:41.

one could go either way. Barnes sustained the pressure terrifically

:11:41.:11:50.

in that last round. A lapse in concentration from Zou in that last

:11:50.:11:56.

round. He took a lot of punishment. Barnes may just have done enough.

:11:56.:12:01.

He threw Reeve, very close. A point either way, it could beat either

:12:01.:12:09.

way. -- it could go either way. That change in tempo for Barnes

:12:09.:12:15.

could be the difference between making that final. Four years ago,

:12:15.:12:23.

in Beijing, Paddy Barnes was very upset at the fact that he was not

:12:23.:12:28.

given a single scoring point on the computer scoring system. He has

:12:28.:12:38.
:12:38.:12:47.

overturn the three point difference? Ladies and gentlemen.

:12:47.:12:54.

The judges have scored the bout level at 15 points apiece. The

:12:54.:13:04.
:13:04.:13:07.

winner on countback in the red corner, of China, Zou. You opera or

:13:07.:13:15.

supplies for Paddy Barnes. -- your applause, please, for Paddy Barnes.

:13:15.:13:23.

He will be devastated. Pretending to joke his opponent! Decent fellow.

:13:23.:13:28.

He raises his hand as if to say, you were the better man, but only

:13:28.:13:34.

just. We will not see this fellow, and 31 years of age, in another

:13:34.:13:39.

Olympic Games. Last time, Paddy Barnes did not get a single point.

:13:40.:13:45.

This time, he was level with the world number one, who got it on

:13:45.:13:55.
:13:55.:14:00.

countback. Paddy Barnes can be Your reaction, please. Bullying --

:14:00.:14:06.

brilliant performance. I am disappointed. I thought I could get

:14:06.:14:10.

it back. He is a good boxer and I wish him well for the final. That

:14:10.:14:15.

final round, you did so well and you must have thought, I perhaps

:14:15.:14:21.

have done it? I had nothing left in the tank. I tried my hardest. I am

:14:21.:14:26.

devastated. At the end it you sportingly said, Well done, and

:14:26.:14:32.

that takes some doing given the way you lost it. Yes. I have lost three

:14:32.:14:35.

times to him. He is an amazing athlete and I have great respect

:14:35.:14:40.

for him. Will you look back and say you had a great career in the

:14:40.:14:47.

Olympics? Yeah, first time boxing was in it so we made history.

:14:47.:14:52.

Commiserations but very well done. Belfast can be proud of Paddy

:14:52.:14:57.

Barnes. Just to remind you, he did not manage to pick up a single

:14:57.:15:02.

point against his opponent in Beijing, so for it to go back to

:15:02.:15:06.

countback, he can be rightly proud of that performance. More boxing in

:15:06.:15:13.

a moment. Today it was the men's open-water swim. Damn fog was

:15:13.:15:20.

competing for Great Britain. Earlier he made their 1,500m final

:15:20.:15:23.

in the swimming pool, but he swapped it today for the Serpentine.

:15:23.:15:28.

He came in in 5th place. The Tunisian swim it looked really

:15:28.:15:38.
:15:38.:15:51.

The Tunisian winning it. Well done to Dan who came in 5th. Over on BBC

:16:20.:16:22.

to see Britain's Nick Campbell in action. First, it is timed for John

:16:22.:16:30.

Joe Nevin. An Olympic gold tomorrow evening is what he really needs. We

the BBC. We have got the Olympic Games covered. That is the last

:18:10.:18:14.

time I'm going to show you that. If you have not managed to work it out

:18:14.:18:20.

by now, perhaps you never will. A few moments ago we saw real

:18:20.:18:24.

frustration for Paddy Barnes. It went to count back for his fight,

:18:24.:18:29.

but we are hoping that Ireland's John Joe Nevin will give the crowd

:18:29.:18:39.
:18:39.:18:57.

something to shout about. He is seats. 10,000 people, says the

:18:57.:19:04.

number 25. The most entertaining semi-final in prospect as we await

:19:04.:19:11.

the arrival of boxers from Cuba and Ireland. Will they please make

:19:11.:19:21.
:19:21.:19:33.

their way to the ring. Cuba came here with eight boxes and

:19:33.:19:38.

they have got four through to the medals. Not as good as Beijing when

:19:38.:19:43.

they had six, but they did not come away with a gold, but a quite fancy

:19:43.:19:49.

this fellow. But he has got to get past the quiet man of the Irish

:19:49.:19:59.
:19:59.:20:01.

side, seeded No. 5, world No. Four. John Joe Nevin. He looks fairly

:20:01.:20:08.

comfortable as well, I do not think he is faced by this occasion. He is

:20:08.:20:17.

very difficult to catch. He has got to use that style here with Alvarez.

:20:17.:20:25.

Tactics are crucial. The Cuban will be extremely difficult to beat.

:20:25.:20:30.

Nevin is the youngest member of the Irish boxing contingent. Two world

:20:30.:20:37.

bronze medals to his credit. Representing Cuba, the reigning

:20:37.:20:47.
:20:47.:21:07.

Nevin! He was pressed all the way through in his three contests. At

:21:07.:21:17.
:21:17.:21:44.

lean. Lazaro Alvarez. Won the World Championships last year. He has

:21:44.:21:54.
:21:54.:22:13.

looked very comfortable all the way Irish corner will be thrilled with

:22:13.:22:23.
:22:23.:22:30.

lead and fall short and then go back with the counter. But it is

:22:30.:22:34.

important he does not make any mistakes going forward and his

:22:34.:22:44.
:22:44.:23:00.

counters have got to be so quickly ago. Alvarez is looking very wary

:23:00.:23:10.
:23:10.:23:10.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:23:10.:24:05.

think he scored with four good time he throws that right, the

:24:05.:24:15.
:24:15.:24:28.

Irish contingent raw and raised the round. We would like to think so,

:24:28.:24:34.

no buyers intended. It is not very often that you see a Cuban boxer

:24:34.:24:44.
:24:44.:24:45.

trailing at the end of a round. John Joe Nevin, 5-3 up. Keep moving,

:24:45.:24:52.

keep pitching the shots. Do not switch off is the most important

:24:52.:24:55.

instruction because the Cuban will change his tactics and he may come

:24:55.:25:02.

out even faster on his feet. The single shots from Nevin, long-range,

:25:02.:25:08.

have been superb. Lovely boxing from Nevin on the back foot.

:25:08.:25:13.

Alvarez might come morgue over his front foot. Nevin has to keep a

:25:13.:25:18.

cool head and key at accuracy going with fast counters and fast

:25:18.:25:28.
:25:28.:25:28.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:25:28.:26:23.

been a great division for the moment we are not going to count

:26:23.:26:33.
:26:33.:26:43.

any chickens, but Nevin is out southpaw stance of the Cuban.

:26:43.:26:48.

Nevin's foot work and can speed have negated all the attributes the

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

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:26:58.:27:42.

complain, such is their discipline. Alvarez is starting to work on the

:27:42.:27:48.

inside a little bit better. He is falling in there and that was an

:27:48.:27:58.
:27:58.:28:17.

one. Who is your money on? I think Nevin is doing well again. He has

:28:17.:28:22.

got to keep that movement going. That is the attack he has got to

:28:22.:28:27.

watch out for. When he misses with the right hand, he is all over the

:28:27.:28:37.
:28:37.:28:55.

closed that gap with a combination of afoot speed and hand speed. He

:28:55.:29:01.

is three points up with three minutes to go. What another round

:29:01.:29:11.
:29:11.:29:13.

for John Joe Nevin against the world champion, the world No. 1.

:29:13.:29:17.

You are changing your action and jumping in. You have to keep on

:29:17.:29:26.

doing what you are doing. Good work from Alvarez. A good right hand and

:29:26.:29:33.

the left does not hit the target. He took a couple of shots, but the

:29:33.:29:43.

accuracy again was with the Irishman. That was a left hook. You

:29:43.:29:53.
:29:53.:30:12.

could not call that a jab. There is three points up, he leads the world

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

champion, number one seed, Lazaro points adrift. He is certainly

:30:30.:30:39.

starting well. Nevin is on the retreat now. If Nevin misses when

:30:39.:30:49.
:30:49.:30:49.

he throws the right hand, he has to put him along, left cut. -- put in

:30:49.:30:59.
:30:59.:30:59.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:30:59.:31:42.

or even countback, Ireland will go is getting frustrated now and there

:31:42.:31:48.

is only one minute to go. Can Nevin poll of the surprise of surprises?

:31:48.:31:58.
:31:58.:32:00.

I think he can! -- off? I think he can as well! Nevin is boxing

:32:00.:32:10.
:32:10.:32:13.

went to Beijing four years ago, lost to the eventual gold medal-

:32:13.:32:23.
:32:23.:32:41.

referee has said to him, no more falling around, get on with the

:32:41.:32:45.

boxing. He has got caught a couple of times but I think Nevin has

:32:45.:32:54.

maintained the gap. No. I think Nevin has won the round if anything.

:32:54.:32:58.

He was three points going into it. Possibly the performance of the

:32:58.:33:08.

tournament. Nevin as saying to himself, I have this in the bag.

:33:08.:33:11.

What a display by Ireland's John Joe Nevin against the world

:33:11.:33:20.

champion! The No. 5 seed, I am pretty certain, has upset the No. 1

:33:20.:33:30.
:33:30.:33:50.

a hammer blow to the gold medal know he has won this and I think

:33:50.:33:55.

the Cuban corner knew as well. Head in hands. Super performance from

:33:55.:34:01.

young Nevin. Is Nevin going to do what Wayne McCullough did 20 years

:34:01.:34:07.

ago in Barcelona in this division, and get to the Olympic final?

:34:07.:34:14.

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

:34:14.:34:19.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. The youngest member of the Irish boxing team

:34:19.:34:24.

four years ago has got himself into the final to challenge for silver

:34:24.:34:30.

or gold! And you can count the number of times that an Irishman

:34:31.:34:36.

has beating a Cuban on probably the thumbs of one hand, on the hands of

:34:36.:34:41.

John Joe Nevin! That thunderous right and in particular picked this

:34:41.:34:51.
:34:51.:34:54.

man off with a wonderful ease and Five points, the victor, John Joe

:34:54.:34:59.

Nevin. In 2008, he only made it through to the second round. As he

:34:59.:35:04.

walked out, you could hear Richie saying, he does not look fazed. The

:35:04.:35:11.

delight on his face. A few moments ago we saw Paddy Barnes beaten

:35:11.:35:16.

while representing Ireland, but no such despair for John Joe Nevin.

:35:16.:35:22.

Alvarez is the world champion. He is an incredible talent. But John

:35:22.:35:27.

Joe Nevin, two a head after the first round, three by the second

:35:27.:35:32.

and he wins it by five points. Brilliant performance,

:35:32.:35:38.

congratulations. I can't believe I beat the world champion. I always

:35:38.:35:42.

said it, I am up with the best in the world and I can be the best in

:35:42.:35:46.

the world if I put my mind to it. My performance is getting better

:35:46.:35:51.

every day and hopefully it will get better for the final. Ritchie said

:35:51.:35:56.

it was arguably the performance of the tournament. It was a good

:35:56.:36:00.

performance. I was up against the world champion so I had to push

:36:00.:36:08.

myself. I am delighted, over the moon. I am going out to head in and

:36:08.:36:13.

relax now and we will think about the next contest tomorrow's. I will

:36:13.:36:19.

enjoy them right now. I am getting better as I go along so hopefully I

:36:19.:36:29.
:36:29.:36:32.

will be ready. A cracking Wright, a moving straight on to our

:36:33.:36:37.

next fighter, and this involves a man you saw emerging, Satoshi

:36:37.:36:42.

Shimizu, who serves in the Japanese army. He is a surprise semi-

:36:42.:36:48.

finalist, up against Luke Campbell. He was overlooked for Beijing and

:36:48.:36:52.

said he started boxing as a young man to improve his confidence. He

:36:52.:36:56.

has made it through to the semi- final. He is representing Great

:36:56.:37:01.

Britain. Luke Campbell. Fingers crossed he makes it through to

:37:01.:37:11.
:37:11.:37:14.

fight for gold. Let's rejoin the composure. The most important

:37:14.:37:24.
:37:24.:37:41.

contest of his distinguished Japan, Satoshi Shimizu!

:37:41.:37:51.
:37:51.:38:16.

APPLAUSE This very skilful boxer Britain won a bronze medal in this

:38:16.:38:21.

division. Luke Campbell has already got a guaranteed bronze-medal but I

:38:21.:38:26.

am pretty sure he will not want to settle for that. He is up against a

:38:26.:38:33.

difficult opponent. He had a very difficult contest against the boxer

:38:33.:38:39.

from a desire Sian, who sat down several times in the last round --

:38:39.:38:45.

from Azerbaijan. There was an appeal, the man from Azerbaijan was

:38:45.:38:55.
:38:55.:38:56.

dismissed, and Shimizu came through. What this Japanese boxer likes in

:38:56.:39:02.

skill and ability, he makes up for in determination. He is very, very

:39:02.:39:12.
:39:12.:39:15.

fit indeed. It is a pretty for Luke Campbell. He has to keep a

:39:15.:39:22.

high guard, bring him on to those straight shots and just adjust the

:39:22.:39:27.

feet as he goes forward. Satoshi Shimizu has come through every

:39:27.:39:31.

contest with blistering last rounds, so Luke Campbell will want to be

:39:31.:39:41.
:39:41.:40:18.

the body and a right hook to the went back in a straight line and

:40:18.:40:28.
:40:28.:40:53.

up wide open to the uppercut I attack from Campbell! Sweet left

:40:53.:41:03.
:41:03.:41:13.

Campbell, he should be three or four up by the very least after

:41:13.:41:23.
:41:23.:41:32.

this. Positive start for the man in from Britain has won the opening

:41:32.:41:42.
:41:42.:41:59.

out in this -- the scoreboard says. the end of the story for Satoshi

:41:59.:42:05.

Shimizu. He comes on stronger and stronger. His fitness is his

:42:05.:42:12.

strength. It is important that Campbell stays focused. I know the

:42:12.:42:18.

corner will be giving him the instructions. He needs to stay calm

:42:18.:42:28.
:42:28.:42:39.

last year in Azerbaijan. European champion in 2008 in Liverpool. The

:42:39.:42:49.
:42:49.:42:59.

first Briton for about 50 years to in the last round and put Campbell

:42:59.:43:03.

under pressure and he will be desperate to close the gap, so

:43:03.:43:06.

Campbell needs a few extra points to give him that all important

:43:06.:43:16.
:43:16.:43:21.

maintains a gap and the space between himself and Shimizu,

:43:21.:43:25.

because that brings the Japanese man into the contest a little bit.

:43:26.:43:31.

Campbell has got to adjust his feet, keep the gap and box at mid- and

:43:31.:43:41.
:43:41.:43:41.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:43:41.:45:05.

shots from Britain's Luke Campbell. move and moves around his opponent

:45:05.:45:15.
:45:15.:45:35.

and stays off the ropes. To a good minutes from the man in blue.

:45:35.:45:45.
:45:45.:45:48.

he is very predictable and he is open to that left hand. He has got

:45:48.:45:56.

a low left hand and is inviting that shot from Campbell. That was a

:45:56.:46:02.

good finish by Campbell. I think that is an even better round. 6-4

:46:02.:46:12.
:46:12.:46:13.

they had given a 2 m. But Campbell leads by five points. Surely here

:46:13.:46:23.
:46:23.:46:24.

it will not let this slip. He has got to stay focused now. There will

:46:24.:46:28.

be a big effort from the man in blue, he has done it in his

:46:28.:46:38.

previous contests. Now Campbell has got to do the same type of work. He

:46:38.:46:46.

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

:46:46.:46:54.

little bit, Campbell. This man always comes on like a steam train

:46:54.:47:04.

in the last round. Here we go. Britain's Luke Campbell three

:47:04.:47:14.
:47:14.:47:15.

minutes away from an Olympic boxing final. There is a five-point gap.

:47:15.:47:25.
:47:25.:47:42.

Shimizu needs to outscore Campbell unknown and had to qualify in the

:47:42.:47:48.

Asian qualifiers to get here. But he certainly more than justified

:47:48.:47:52.

his selection and is giving Campbell a torrid time in this last

:47:52.:48:02.
:48:02.:48:21.

round. But Campbell is not going to touching distance. Good footwork by

:48:21.:48:31.
:48:31.:48:36.

Campbell. Shimizu's fitness and strength seems to have deserted him.

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

Campbell is looking much more confident. We worry about the

:48:46.:48:56.
:48:56.:49:11.

fitness of Luke Campbell, but he is face. His strength is starting to

:49:11.:49:18.

run out. Campbell has boxed cleverly. We did not see him at his

:49:18.:49:23.

best in the opening contest. But this is the former European

:49:23.:49:27.

champion at his very best. He knew his best would get him into the

:49:27.:49:37.
:49:37.:50:03.

Olympic final. He is complaining solid all the way through a.

:50:03.:50:09.

Campbell is going to win this. Shimizu tries, but there is nothing

:50:09.:50:19.
:50:19.:50:19.

left in the attack. An Olympic final for Campbell. The performance

:50:19.:50:26.

of his career. There is more to come. He will try to turn silver

:50:26.:50:36.
:50:36.:50:39.

into gold. What a prospect. Luke Campbell had the bronze going into

:50:39.:50:45.

this contest and now he has got silver or gold. A great last-round

:50:45.:50:49.

from Campbell. His fitness was tested to write to the last seconds

:50:49.:50:57.

of this round. Then he replies with a straight one, two. He scored with

:50:57.:51:06.

accurate punches down the middle. Going back to the corner absolutely

:51:06.:51:12.

exhausted. That is what you would expect, but he is into the Olympic

:51:12.:51:19.

final. What a performance by Luke Campbell. Ladies and gentlemen, the

:51:19.:51:29.
:51:29.:51:42.

winner by a score of 2211. The red corner. -- 22-11. The family and

:51:43.:51:48.

friends and supporters are simply ecstatic. What a performance by

:51:48.:51:58.
:51:58.:52:07.

Luke Campbell. What a display all There is the talent. You are one

:52:07.:52:15.

step closer in Hull to having a golden post box because of this man.

:52:15.:52:19.

To be honest, we expected him to win that, but he dominated that

:52:19.:52:25.

final round. He is a really special, young British talent and he has

:52:25.:52:33.

made it. He will now take on John Joe Nevin and his with Gary.

:52:33.:52:41.

That was a cracking performance. Thank you. Again I was in a very

:52:41.:52:50.

tough bout, it was relentless, but I got the points en. Coming into

:52:50.:52:55.

the final round were you aware of the margin you had? Five points.

:52:55.:53:02.

I thought it was maybe one or two. That is what my corner told me. I

:53:02.:53:08.

made him fight in every round. I have got to be focused. They told

:53:08.:53:14.

you it was two points. That is clever psychology. Maybe, but you

:53:14.:53:19.

cannot switch off at this level. John Joe Nevin is next and you know

:53:19.:53:26.

him. A narrow victory last year. the world championships, a top

:53:26.:53:31.

fighter, and it will be a great final. Very well done. Thank you

:53:31.:53:37.

very much. Is that not fascinating, being told by the corner that he is

:53:37.:53:42.

only a couple of points ahead of his opponent. You can see Luke

:53:43.:53:47.

Campbell up against John Joe Nevin on the BBC. It is Ireland versus

:53:47.:53:52.

Great Britain for a gold medal. It has been great, all the action from

:53:52.:53:56.

the Excel Arena. The only disappointment is Paddy Barnes to

:53:56.:54:00.

struggle to make it through being beaten once again, even though it

:54:00.:54:05.

went all the way to countback. Let's get some thoughts from Amir

:54:05.:54:14.

Khan. He won no the boxes very well. Yes, he does. He was his former

:54:14.:54:20.

room-mate, Luke Campbell. Yes, he was. Since being an amateur and all

:54:20.:54:25.

the way through, we shared a room together and he is a good friend.

:54:25.:54:30.

Are you happy with the way he performed? He had to dig in. He did

:54:30.:54:35.

what he had to do. The first couple of rounds he won very comfortably

:54:35.:54:41.

and in the third round the other guy came out stronger. He was up

:54:41.:54:48.

five points anyway, so it was very good. There is only one year's

:54:48.:54:55.

difference between you and him, and you have turned pro in what seems

:54:55.:55:01.

like a long time. I am only one year older than him and we shared a

:55:01.:55:05.

room together and went to the world championships and the European

:55:05.:55:10.

Championships together. I have seen his career go on from that. I also

:55:10.:55:16.

went to the Olympics with him. He is the first man to be in the

:55:16.:55:20.

finals in the 2012 Olympics. I think he will win a gold medal and

:55:20.:55:25.

he is one of the fighters I said who would go the whole way. You may

:55:26.:55:33.

well be proved right. He is one of the four British men. We have been

:55:33.:55:38.

set up really early Friday average boys. Paddy Barnes was unlucky it

:55:38.:55:42.

went to count back against the world No. 1. I had him winning that

:55:42.:55:52.
:55:52.:55:55.

fight. Yes, I the Chinese man won the last Olympics in Beijing. He

:55:55.:55:59.

threw more punches and was more accurate, but he did not get it.

:55:59.:56:05.

Also, he is 31 years old and maybe his time is coming to an end. Rio

:56:05.:56:11.

de Janeiro as far as Paddy is concerned is almost his to lose.

:56:11.:56:17.

Definitely, at that age this will be his last Olympics and maybe an

:56:17.:56:22.

Olympics to come if he stays amateur. Staying with the Irish

:56:22.:56:26.

theme, John Joe Nevin up next against Luke Campbell in the final,

:56:26.:56:30.

it will be a fantastic final, particularly in this arena. I am

:56:30.:56:34.

not sure who will get the better of the support, the Irish are the

:56:34.:56:39.

British. One thing about the Irish is they can make noise. I have been

:56:39.:56:44.

here a couple of days and they make a lot of noise. But Nevin is a good

:56:44.:56:50.

fighter and we saw him beat the Cuban and my good friend Luke

:56:50.:56:54.

Campbell is another good fighter and it will be a good fight. I will

:56:54.:56:59.

not tell you who is going to win that fight. Can all came third in

:56:59.:57:04.

the semi-finals of the world championships. Also talking about

:57:04.:57:09.

the home support and the margin of victory at the end, nine points.

:57:09.:57:15.

Being given that element of confidence before the Olympics'

:57:15.:57:22.

final. I think that will give him confidence. He was boxing a great

:57:22.:57:27.

fight and he had his hands tied. He was doing everything perfectly of

:57:27.:57:33.

offensively and defensively. It will be a close fight against Nevin.

:57:33.:57:38.

But look knows what to do and he is a better boxer and more skilful. He

:57:38.:57:43.

has got a lot more technique in his style. It will be a close fight,

:57:43.:57:53.

but I think Luke Campbell will take it. He was unbeaten over 23 fights

:57:53.:57:59.

last year, which is a phenomenal effort. Lots more to come, Fred

:57:59.:58:04.

Evans and Anthony Ogogo and Anthony Joshua. Three fighters to look

:58:04.:58:09.

forward to today. Definitely and Luke Campbell's when it will give

:58:09.:58:14.

them confidence. It will drive them a little bit. They are going to

:58:14.:58:22.

think if he can do it, we can do it. They are going to be full of

:58:22.:58:27.

confidence and the crowd is brilliant. The crowd drives you on.

:58:27.:58:30.

Especially in the last round when you thought he was slowing down a

:58:30.:58:36.

bit, the crowd motivated him. Anthony Ogogo is coming up sharply

:58:36.:58:40.

and he has an unbelievable story with his mum in hospital and she

:58:40.:58:43.

was in intensive care for a while with a brain haemorrhage and we

:58:43.:58:48.

wish him all the very best. That is not the ideal backdrop to go into

:58:48.:58:53.

the ring. Mentally he is very strong and he knows what is going

:58:53.:58:59.

on around him. I think he has put what is going on outside the ring

:58:59.:59:06.

to the side. This is life-changing for him. I am sure he will be

:59:06.:59:12.

thinking of his family and everything. But to be in the

:59:12.:59:17.

Olympics on top of all that at the same time... He does not mind the

:59:17.:59:22.

limelight. We know about that. Let's see how he fares this

:59:22.:59:32.
:59:32.:59:32.

afternoon. We will go back to you over in the studio. We will be back

:59:32.:59:39.

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

:59:39.:59:47.

here live on BBC One just after 3 o'clock. Make a date for Saturday

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

at 8:45pm with Luke Campbell up Another sport that is all about

:59:59.:00:04.

Punch and counter-punch but this time on the water. The men were

:00:04.:00:10.

made to wait 24 hours. Despite all of that, based till when not able

:00:10.:00:19.

to think of a wave to out Fox their Australian opponents. -- they still

:00:19.:00:27.

were not able to think of a way to outdo their Australian opponents.

:00:27.:00:35.

You said you were going to attack. What a gutsy race! We tried it. We

:00:35.:00:43.

got the better of them at the start. We managed to sneak ahead. We were

:00:43.:00:50.

hoping the fleet would be there. They sailed a fantastic race. We

:00:50.:00:58.

tried to attack when a kid. They held their nerve. They were worthy

:00:58.:01:06.

champions. -- when they could. First Games - silver medal.

:01:06.:01:14.

Fantastic! It is so good. It has been three, four years' hard work

:01:14.:01:19.

together. 15 years up there and we're standing on an Olympic podium.

:01:19.:01:25.

It is not gold but there is plenty of time. We're young boys and we

:01:25.:01:33.

mean business. For now, enjoy the moment. We are happy. We have loved

:01:33.:01:41.

watching you. Two great mates on an amazing journey. What a week!

:01:41.:01:50.

a place! We are in paradise. It is so cool. Isn't that lovely? What a

:01:50.:01:57.

week! Congratulations to them both. That was their Olympic debut. Out

:01:57.:02:03.

on the water as well, the Blairs were being late for our British

:02:04.:02:11.

women. Also in the 470 class. Here is Han and Saskia. They are

:02:11.:02:21.
:02:21.:02:21.

celebrating a silver medal. -- Hannah. They are celebrating in

:02:21.:02:25.

style with all the fans on the water's edge. Let's see how they

:02:25.:02:31.

are feeling. We feel a bit gutted that we did not put on the good

:02:31.:02:36.

show. We had the Kiwis on the start-line and we let them go to

:02:36.:02:40.

the right. We were wedged in with a few boats and did not follow them

:02:40.:02:49.

out there. Renewed the gold medal was gone from us. The wind made it

:02:49.:02:59.

so tricky to predict. -- we knew. It was tricky. We wanted to get the

:02:59.:03:05.

left because it had a better breeze. The wind died and it was game over.

:03:05.:03:12.

Pretty gutted to be honest. We have had a wicked 18 months together. We

:03:12.:03:18.

have had a great time. It has been a phenomenal Jenny. You have

:03:18.:03:23.

progressed so quickly. You are getting a bit wet. It has been a

:03:23.:03:33.
:03:33.:03:34.

great journey. Hannah Said she wanted to do it for you to make up

:03:34.:03:39.

for your disappointment in China. She is an absolute legend. We have

:03:39.:03:45.

had a wicked 18 months. 18 months ago, we put everything in to try

:03:45.:03:52.

and qualify for the team. It was just about qualifying. To have a

:03:52.:03:58.

medal together, it has been up and down all the way. We have had a

:03:58.:04:04.

wicked time. Go and enjoy the celebrations. It has been a great

:04:04.:04:08.

campaign. Well done for the silver. We will be watching when you get on

:04:08.:04:16.

the podium. Well done! Look at that! One of the stand out things

:04:16.:04:21.

about these Games is the emotion when a pair picks up a medal

:04:21.:04:26.

together is lovely. They had a celebratory cuddle. Congratulate us

:04:26.:04:33.

to everyone down on the water today. -- congratulations. I'm still

:04:33.:04:39.

recovering from the carnage on the BMX track yesterday. It is

:04:39.:04:44.

compelling to watch. Victoria Pendleton tweeted a bit earlier to

:04:44.:04:51.

say, I have just been denied access to the BMX. I think these days her

:04:51.:04:59.

base is have passed. A little later she said, I am at the BMX. It is a

:04:59.:05:05.

beautiful day. We are focusing on Liam Phillips and Shanaze Reade. We

:05:05.:05:10.

will be there live for the action in a while. Now we will speak to

:05:10.:05:15.

Helen Skelton. The crowds are out in force once again. So far they

:05:15.:05:21.

had done what they needed. Shanaze Reade did the time trial and put in

:05:21.:05:26.

a solid performance. She got the 5th fastest time. Liam did

:05:26.:05:33.

phenomenally well yesterday. He got out there - got at -- got round in

:05:33.:05:40.

one piece - and he only did three runs of the five. Today we have 32

:05:40.:05:44.

riders getting ready for the Olympic battle. We have the semi-

:05:44.:05:49.

finals and the finals of the men's and women's competition. You talked

:05:49.:05:53.

about it being compelling to watch. Back bed, the number of

:05:53.:05:58.

photographers has gone up for fault since yesterday. They are all

:05:58.:06:05.

gathered around the corner. -- four fault. Despite the crashes

:06:05.:06:11.

yesterday, at no one was seriously injured. No major injuries.

:06:11.:06:16.

Thankfully, the structure was not needed yesterday. With me is that

:06:16.:06:21.

five times BMX champion. You are Britain's best BMX racer ever.

:06:21.:06:27.

Jamie Staff has told me that so it must be true. Thank you. A pretty

:06:27.:06:34.

good career. This is a new event on the BMX Callander. It debuted in

:06:34.:06:40.

2008. How bigger deal is this to BMX riders? We have been trying for

:06:40.:06:44.

a long time. You can tell from the heats yesterday, the guys are

:06:44.:06:53.

pretty nervous. It comes around every four years. They are excited.

:06:53.:06:56.

You cannot imagine a BMX rider being nervous, bearing in mind what

:06:57.:07:03.

they take on. You are speaking to the defending champion, Maris

:07:03.:07:07.

Strombergs. He said he had to work hard yesterday and do all the five

:07:07.:07:12.

runs to get into the final. He said it took him a couple of laps to get

:07:12.:07:17.

into it. Hopefully he can continue that today. You'll find that with

:07:17.:07:22.

most of the riders. Liam just did the three runs. This is a really

:07:22.:07:28.

demanding course. We have no suspension. It does take it out of

:07:28.:07:33.

you, doesn't it? They trained for that. It is about being precise in

:07:33.:07:41.

the jumps and being precise on landing and taking off. Shanaze

:07:41.:07:45.

Reade, when every mention hat in Britain that people say, Beijing.

:07:45.:07:49.

But I was her, I would want to put that behind me. Because the people

:07:49.:07:54.

like me she has not been able to do that. It is dramatic and a story we

:07:54.:08:02.

like to tell. I totally agree. I'm sure she's sick of talking about it.

:08:02.:08:06.

It is four years later and she is on the gate for the Olympic Games.

:08:06.:08:13.

I'm sure she wants to put it to bed and win this raced -- race.

:08:13.:08:18.

gets her times to put it behind her today to stop her uncle and mother

:08:18.:08:27.

and in the crowd today. She has family watching home as well. I'm

:08:27.:08:33.

sure they will be as loud as the crowd here. That has been signature

:08:33.:08:40.

of these Games. After all the crashes on that yesterday, loads of

:08:40.:08:47.

photographers today. Five-times world champion in BMX, he does not

:08:47.:08:54.

world champion in BMX, he does not need to watch this. BMX - each race

:08:54.:09:00.

features eight riders competing on the track with lumps, bumps and

:09:00.:09:05.

corners. The race starts on an eight metre-high rank and usually -

:09:05.:09:12.

- ramp and usually lasts 40 seconds. They have one gear and one break.

:09:12.:09:18.

As a contact sport, collisions are not uncommon. Competitors must not

:09:18.:09:24.

deliberately impeded each other or false one another of the trap --

:09:24.:09:29.

track. The lead rider may choose his line but they are not allowed

:09:29.:09:35.

to block the line of any rider trying to pass. The race is a won

:09:35.:09:45.
:09:45.:09:50.

as the front will crosses the gold medals. One for the men and

:09:50.:09:54.

one for the women. It begins with a time to a qualification round where

:09:54.:09:59.

each rider races solely against the clock, to determine their ceiling

:09:59.:10:05.

for the main race. The complex series of races followers. The top

:10:05.:10:11.

four from the semi-finals will enter the finals in a race for the

:10:11.:10:15.

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

:10:16.:10:25.
:10:26.:10:30.

Some of the accidents and incidents we saw yesterday were unreal. They

:10:30.:10:37.

were sweeping teeth of the track. Fingers crossed, no one badly

:10:37.:10:44.

injured today. It is super dramatic. It is not just physical scars which

:10:44.:10:48.

will be affecting Shanaze Reade, she is still haunted by the

:10:48.:10:53.

disappointment of Beijing, where she finished 8th after that big

:10:53.:10:58.

accident. She is still the talk of BMX. It is now time to walk the

:10:58.:11:08.

To win the Olympic Games is everything. I want to be Olympic

:11:08.:11:18.
:11:18.:11:26.

Shanaze Reade is in the silver- medal position. She has crashed.

:11:26.:11:30.

Beijing made me part of what I am. I have a fantastic support team

:11:30.:11:36.

around me. My coach has pulled me back from the bottom. Others in a

:11:36.:11:40.

bad place after the Olympics. That is about my support team in getting

:11:40.:11:46.

the right people around you. I think that has been the biggest

:11:46.:11:54.

part of getting over Beijing. Beijing was a stop off on the way

:11:54.:12:01.

to the Olympics in London. Now it is light, London is here. It feels

:12:01.:12:05.

right. I'm really excited to go there and represent my country. I

:12:05.:12:10.

have been on the track. I think it is a really good course. It suits

:12:10.:12:15.

everyone. It has a bit of everything. It will make for a

:12:15.:12:20.

great race. You have to be so relaxed and so calm on the start

:12:20.:12:25.

gate. If not, that is when things go wrong. You need to be wanting to

:12:25.:12:32.

go, wanting to go out in front but be calm as possible. It can be hard.

:12:32.:12:36.

Especially when you are in the final and everyone is lined up.

:12:36.:12:40.

Girls are on the gate wanting to do the same as you. You need to learn

:12:40.:12:46.

to control your mind. For a long time I did not think I was capable

:12:46.:12:52.

of being Olympic champion. It was a dream. I thought, I am a fast BMX

:12:52.:12:56.

rider but I do not know if I can put it all together. There is doubt

:12:56.:13:02.

in my mind. Quite a few times a day, even if I am watching television -

:13:02.:13:07.

they are so many sports on the television - a Relate two Olympic

:13:07.:13:13.

champions. I can do this now and I can be Olympic champion. For the

:13:13.:13:18.

last four years, have focus has been on the Olympics. Have because

:13:18.:13:23.

this afternoon is making it through to the final a bit later on. --

:13:23.:13:28.

have focused this afternoon. The top four progressed to the final.

:13:28.:13:34.

David Beckham has been such a great supporter of these Olympics. Today

:13:34.:13:39.

he is supporting Shanaze Reade. We told you everyone wanted a ticket.

:13:39.:13:46.

He is among the 6000 packed in. He is there for the action. Let's hand

:13:46.:13:56.
:13:56.:14:12.

you over to your commentators. start gate and how. Nodes are

:14:12.:14:21.

absolutely jangling. -- start gate now. There is a vertical plate to

:14:21.:14:26.

keep the front wheels from going forward. There is a hydraulic

:14:26.:14:34.

system which were extremely quickly. It is a random start. There is a

:14:34.:14:41.

time bracket for the gate to fall. There is no cheating. The official

:14:41.:14:48.

says, riders ready. Between two and five seconds later, the gate will

:14:48.:14:58.
:14:58.:15:03.

Lane seven, Brooke Crain, she took an horrendous crash in seeding,

:15:03.:15:08.

which is why she has got a bad gait, but very powerful, just 19 years

:15:08.:15:18.
:15:18.:15:23.

Getting Ready, this is her biggest events, she has been looking

:15:23.:15:30.

forward to this for four years, can she go out there in style? Very

:15:30.:15:39.

important, this first race. Stefany Hernandez, the Venezuelan. She has

:15:39.:15:43.

got a bit of pedigree, but it will be a big jump for her to make the

:15:43.:15:53.
:15:53.:15:55.

finals. Alise post, one of the most daring young riders. Laetitia LOCOG

:15:55.:15:59.

deal, I think you're referred to her as the grandmother of this heat.

:15:59.:16:09.
:16:09.:16:24.

but Buchanan were the insider line. She is tucked in just behind

:16:24.:16:30.

Caroline Buchanan. A lot of space there. Posters in third place,

:16:30.:16:34.

Buchanan out in front, this is the first of three races for this semi-

:16:34.:16:44.
:16:44.:17:14.

riders, they just want to get around smoothly with no accidents.

:17:14.:17:18.

The last thing you want to do is an accident in your first heat.

:17:18.:17:24.

Shanaze Reade keeping low on the second jump, but Buchanan has the

:17:24.:17:29.

inside line, a slight advantage into the first turn. Popping out

:17:29.:17:36.

into the second turn. Shanaze had done so much work to cut off the

:17:36.:17:42.

Venezuelan, who used sea going down there. -- whom you see. Over the

:17:42.:17:47.

widow Maker. All of the riders taking that very comfortably,

:17:47.:17:51.

jumping that rather than trying to pump their way over it. I think

:17:51.:17:55.

that is definitely the safer option. The first ride for Shanaze Reade,

:17:55.:18:00.

nice and solid, she will be a lot calmer in the next run, we will see

:18:00.:18:10.
:18:10.:18:12.

more of a challenge against considering she came from lane

:18:12.:18:18.

seven. Yes, and she absolutely replaced their Iain Martin from the

:18:18.:18:22.

USA, who was supposed to be out here today, up but she suffered an

:18:22.:18:27.

injury the day before coming here. -- Ariel marten. So the second

:18:27.:18:37.
:18:37.:18:57.

semi-final is up at the start Sarah Their first Olympics. From the

:18:57.:19:01.

Czech Republic, Romana Labounkova. Then the Latvian, sorry, the

:19:01.:19:11.
:19:11.:19:17.

just 18 years old, the Dutch team have come in so strong to these

:19:17.:19:22.

Olympics. Magalie Pottier, the world number one, the most

:19:22.:19:26.

consistent rider of 2012. Mariana Pajon, the Colombian, world

:19:26.:19:31.

champion in 2011, has not had a great 2012. Sarah Walker in the

:19:31.:19:36.

lane one. With the aggressive time- trial, let's see if she can repeat

:19:36.:19:42.

that performance today. A lot of people thought her Olympics was

:19:42.:19:52.
:19:52.:19:56.

over after breaking a collarbone at fantastic start, though. Mariana

:19:56.:20:03.

Pajon keeps the inside, nice turn. She has done so little through 2012,

:20:03.:20:08.

and suddenly, when it counts, in the first Olympic semi-final, she

:20:08.:20:14.

cuts in. Magalie Pottier having a look on the inside, Laura Smulders

:20:14.:20:20.

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

:20:20.:20:25.

Laura Smulders has the inside line. Mariana pack on very comfortable in

:20:25.:20:32.

front. -- Maryam attack on. Disappointing ride for Sarah Walker,

:20:32.:20:36.

she was one of the fastest in the time-trial. She is not the best at

:20:36.:20:42.

the start, but if given a clean lap, she can perform, but she was cut

:20:42.:20:46.

out, unable to get everything that she wanted. Aneta Hladikova did a

:20:46.:20:51.

lot of good work, battling it out through the rhythm section. But

:20:51.:20:54.

Walker, I think, illustrating perfectly just how important a good

:20:54.:20:59.

start is here. Yes, absolutely, she was pulling back on the rhythm

:20:59.:21:04.

section, but then Laura Smulders put her up in the last turn, took

:21:04.:21:11.

airline, and she was unable to claim that for spot. Interestingly,

:21:11.:21:18.

oh, we have got the spinal boards out, which is never a good sign.

:21:18.:21:24.

Quite often this is just protocol, they just do it in a safe manner.

:21:24.:21:28.

Once the riders get back to the pit, 99% of the time they are able to

:21:28.:21:34.

walk away. It is just protocol, playing it safe. All of the riders,

:21:34.:21:38.

between their helmet and chest protection have a neck brace that

:21:38.:21:42.

stops the helmet rotating too far. It prevents a lot of spinal

:21:42.:21:50.

injuries. You can say that Marianna Akron in two, oh, they go, the

:21:50.:21:55.

Brazilian, Squel Stein, she got the first double wrong. She took

:21:55.:21:59.

advantage of the bad start from Sarah Walker and was able to close

:21:59.:22:02.

everybody else off. She is definitely a threat for this

:22:02.:22:07.

competition, absolutely, she has been getting really good start.

:22:07.:22:11.

she is huge in Colombia. A lot of these riders have a good profile,

:22:11.:22:16.

but she was the flag-bearer for Columbia, and I can guarantee you

:22:16.:22:23.

that a medal will put her home town on fire, they will be screaming and

:22:23.:22:29.

shouting. -- Columbia. So two very interesting semi-finals for the

:22:29.:22:39.
:22:39.:22:48.

the world champion and Shanaze Reade, both first and second looked

:22:48.:22:52.

very comfortable, like the rider has come up once they got a second

:22:52.:22:57.

place cemented, they were not going to do something stupid. They were

:22:57.:23:02.

happy to take second. There is a lot of pressure on these riders,

:23:02.:23:06.

but when you get to that first turn and your position is somewhat set,

:23:06.:23:11.

you have come out of the first turn in second or third, a lot of the

:23:11.:23:14.

pressure is relieved and you are focusing on trying to get a smooth

:23:14.:23:18.

lap, Shanaze Reade was just cruising around, trying to stay

:23:18.:23:24.

upright, just finished, get a safe score, and that is what she did in

:23:24.:23:28.

second place. Looking at the replay, you could see the Brazilian, Squel

:23:28.:23:33.

Stein, landing in the grass and bouncing. To be honest, if the

:23:33.:23:36.

grass was not there, head back wheel might not have been grabs so

:23:37.:23:42.

much. She jumped, launched off the take-off, the back wheel came down

:23:42.:23:46.

short, and that probably through her body weight forward. As the

:23:46.:23:50.

back wheel went over the crest of the second one, that threw her over

:23:50.:23:55.

the handlebars, and she has landed about 20 feet past the end of that

:23:55.:24:00.

jump. I'm sure she has gone down with a big thumb. Hopefully, it is

:24:00.:24:03.

just standard protocol and she is not injured too much. But currently

:24:03.:24:07.

we are holding the men off until she is removed from the circuit.

:24:07.:24:17.
:24:17.:24:19.

This is the men's cause, over the two doubles. -- Course. Then we go

:24:19.:24:23.

on to the right hand side of the fork. Over the crossover, the step

:24:23.:24:30.

up, the right hand turn, another step up, into the rhythm section.

:24:30.:24:33.

few big rowers, a big cascade before you join up with the women's

:24:34.:24:37.

cause, and then over the widow Maker that everybody is jumping.

:24:37.:24:43.

And then into the finish, 450 metres in total for the men, a

:24:43.:24:48.

little bit longer than they are used to, but they are hitting 65

:24:48.:24:53.

kph, just over 40 mph as they hit the bottom of the start ramp. We

:24:53.:24:57.

talked about this during the quarter finals, it is not top speed

:24:57.:25:03.

as such, it is the speed that you can get there, the acceleration.

:25:03.:25:07.

is the acceleration, and you will see them pedalling so fast,

:25:07.:25:11.

everyone will think, why wouldn't use a bigging year, but the start

:25:11.:25:16.

is so important. If you can sustain that and get yourself into the

:25:16.:25:19.

front of the race first ahead of your competition, quite often you

:25:19.:25:24.

can dictate the race. To be honest, these jumps are actually on the

:25:24.:25:29.

smaller side. They could jump twice as far if they really wanted to. So

:25:29.:25:32.

there is a huge element of acceleration out of the start,

:25:32.:25:38.

establish yourself in the race, tried to get to the front, and then

:25:38.:25:41.

it your body is absorbing the energy being thrown at the bike as

:25:41.:25:44.

it goes over those jumps. You're trying to keep it as low as

:25:44.:25:47.

possible so you can get back on the ground as quickly as possible and

:25:47.:25:55.

get the cranks in before the next jump. Well, at the moment, the

:25:55.:26:04.

Brazilian, Squel Stein, is just being carried off the course. In

:26:04.:26:09.

fact, it is because of the design of the draws and just how tightly

:26:09.:26:13.

packed everything is, that is what I have been trying to do, navigate

:26:14.:26:19.

a safe way off, but they are off now, and the guys are starting to

:26:19.:26:26.

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

:26:26.:26:31.

he won every single quarter-final, Raymon van der Biezen, he is the

:26:31.:26:39.

man to beat. Connor Fields, he won all of quarter-final No. Two. The

:26:39.:26:49.
:26:49.:26:54.

Colombian, very good qualifying for taped up, I think. The Australian,

:26:54.:27:04.
:27:04.:27:06.

Khalen Young. Tattooed wild child! Edzuz Treimanis. You can see the

:27:06.:27:11.

bandages on his nose, keeping it in place! Holding a lot of those tubes

:27:11.:27:16.

open, making sure he can breathe properly. Expect a big role here

:27:16.:27:24.

for Liam Phillips. He is in lane five. Quentin Calderon, a fast

:27:24.:27:34.
:27:34.:27:39.

favourites here, looking very sharp in the quarter-finals. That will be

:27:39.:27:46.

a very tight battle between him and Raimond van doo-doo to get out of

:27:46.:27:54.

the traffic -- Raymon van der Biezen. A lot of work for Liam

:27:54.:28:00.

Phillips. A great start for Edzuz Treimanis, but Connor Fields and

:28:00.:28:07.

Raymon van der Biezen, a great start for Liam Phillips! Khalen

:28:07.:28:15.

Young has gone down. We have got five riders down. Liam Phillips is

:28:15.:28:21.

in second, he has just got to stay on his bike. Fantastic work, I do

:28:21.:28:24.

not know how much Liam Phillips for Raymon van der Biezen know about it,

:28:24.:28:29.

but they are showing everyone a clean pair of heels. The two

:28:29.:28:33.

Latvians are chasing him down. But right now it is Raymon van der

:28:33.:28:39.

Biezen followed by Liam Phillips, and then he M&S, a fantastic first

:28:39.:28:45.

race for Liam Phillips. I think Edzuz Treimanis is right on his

:28:45.:28:51.

back. It looks like Connor Fields gets fourth place. These guys, if

:28:51.:28:55.

that was me, I would have been peddling across the line, every

:28:55.:29:00.

position counts at this level of events. A big accident in the first

:29:00.:29:05.

turn, the tarmac is just grabbing those wheels. Khalen Young is

:29:05.:29:15.

having the worst London 2012. was Quentin Calderon who caused

:29:15.:29:20.

that accident. He went into Connor Fields. Nothing he could do,

:29:20.:29:27.

innocent bystander. Nowhere to go but come down. Khalen Young

:29:27.:29:32.

actually catches someone spiked right there, he goes down, too. --

:29:32.:29:39.

Yeah, I do not think I will take up BMX racing, that looks too

:29:40.:29:44.

dangerous to me! That is the drama unfolding by the Velodrome, and we

:29:44.:29:50.

will be back later, three heats in the semi-finals, but so far prayed

:29:50.:29:54.

for Shanaze Reade and Liam Phillips. These are live shots from the

:29:54.:30:00.

maxing ring. Anthony Ogogo rang his mum after his last win, he has got

:30:00.:30:03.

more reason than most, because his mother suffered a brain haemorrhage

:30:03.:30:08.

a few weeks ago. That is inspiring him to put a smile on her face at

:30:08.:30:15.

these Games. So far, so good, he is about to take on Brazil's Esquiva

:30:15.:30:25.
:30:25.:30:38.

dozen people on the edge of their seats to see if Anthony Ogogo can

:30:38.:30:44.

come through against the man who beat him in the world championships

:30:44.:30:51.

in Azerbaijan last year full stump he is the 22-year-old - Esquiva

:30:51.:31:01.

Falcao Florentino pulls up -- last year. He overturned him by 17

:31:01.:31:06.

points to 12 last year will start Anthony Ogogo had to go to the

:31:06.:31:15.

European qualifiers as a result. The referee is having a word with

:31:15.:31:23.

them. Anthony Ogogo is the taller of the two. First thoughts are on

:31:23.:31:33.
:31:33.:31:34.

what has been building up to an interesting contest will stump --

:31:34.:31:38.

contest. Anthony Ogogo needs to quicken his beat up and closed the

:31:38.:31:48.
:31:48.:31:49.

gap dam will stop -- ft up and close the gap down. He is against

:31:49.:31:57.

an opponent who can hit hard with both hands. He has a good right

:31:57.:32:05.

hook. He needs to bury his approach. Good solid punching from Esquiva

:32:05.:32:15.
:32:15.:32:16.

Falcao Florentino. -- very his approach will start -- vary his

:32:16.:32:26.
:32:26.:32:26.

approach. Anthony Ogogo is trying to put his man off. I do not think

:32:26.:32:35.

that punch landed. The referee broke them up. Anthony Ogogo needs

:32:35.:32:44.

to keep out of the weight of the body shots of the Brazilian. -- the

:32:44.:32:48.

way. He has had all sorts of injury problems and his mother has not

:32:48.:32:58.

been very well. He prefers Anthony Ogogo to be in at close quarters.

:32:58.:33:07.

He needs to find room to land the shops downstairs. Esquiva Falcao

:33:07.:33:17.
:33:17.:33:17.

Florentino has come steaming back. He uses his fists whenever he can.

:33:17.:33:22.

The last 20 or so in his opening round and who is your money on?

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

is very even. It could be an even round. A tempting left hand from

:33:33.:33:41.

Anthony Ogogo, teasing his man for it. He is having none of it. The

:33:41.:33:50.

left hand is danger. Do not ducked into the shot. Three apiece. He had

:33:50.:33:59.

a good look at the man who beat him last it in a world. Dust relax and

:33:59.:34:09.
:34:09.:34:14.

let it blow. -- just relax. Relax and let it blow. -- flow. I totally

:34:14.:34:24.
:34:24.:34:25.

agree with him was dug he does need to relax. Tactically, if you can

:34:25.:34:33.

get your nose in front after the next grant -- at next round, it

:34:33.:34:43.
:34:43.:34:52.

second round. The judges could not separate them after their first

:34:52.:35:02.
:35:02.:35:06.

three minutes. He is bidding to be the first brothers to make it --

:35:06.:35:12.

reached the Olympic finals since 1976. I think Anthony Ogogo needs

:35:12.:35:17.

to target the left hook. The Brazilian has come forward a couple

:35:17.:35:26.

of times. He has a low lead hand. It is very low. He needs to take

:35:26.:35:32.

advantage of that. He sent shockwaves around the world of

:35:32.:35:37.

middleweight boxing having beaten the man from the Dominican Republic.

:35:37.:35:43.

He got the decision against the world No. 1 will start it was 18

:35:43.:35:51.

apiece on the judges' scoring. -- world No. 1. On the countback, they

:35:51.:35:58.

went in favour of Anthony Ogogo. He then beat a good German to get to

:35:58.:36:03.

the semi-final. He is about five minutes away from an Olympic final

:36:03.:36:11.

but he has some work to do. He has to do first and third balls dug he

:36:11.:36:21.
:36:21.:36:22.

faints the first attack and that triggers off the response. -- first

:36:22.:36:31.

and third. Back they come again. Esquiva Falcao Florentino tried to

:36:31.:36:40.

tease Anthony Ogogo to come in. A bit better on the inside by Anthony

:36:40.:36:45.

Ogogo. He needs to keep his cover up. He responds to the Body Shop

:36:45.:36:55.
:36:55.:36:58.

from Esquiva Falcao Florentino will start -- body shot. Esquiva Falcao

:36:58.:37:04.

Florentino gets very committed with his left hand. He needs to step

:37:04.:37:10.

back and work downstairs to the body with one shots. You'd have

:37:10.:37:19.

committed the Brazilian is. -- look have committed the Brazilian is.

:37:19.:37:25.

Anthony Ogogo is fresh and strong. Not a lot getting through from

:37:25.:37:34.

either boxer. That is better. Downstairs, switched the attack.

:37:34.:37:41.

Feint that the front foot. Make him commit and work downstairs. This is

:37:41.:37:50.

another close one. Anthony Ogogo needs another point. One either way.

:37:50.:37:56.

That was a good shot by Esquiva Falcao Florentino at the end of the

:37:56.:38:00.

rand. He finished strongly and Esquiva Falcao Florentino has won

:38:00.:38:10.
:38:10.:38:12.

at the round. He really dead in. We thought the feet were slow. -- Dag

:38:12.:38:18.

in. The last 15, 20 seconds, the rand was even but then he started

:38:18.:38:28.
:38:28.:38:30.

to get home with the left hand. -- be round. It was the one-twos that

:38:31.:38:34.

did the match - is a good the damage. Esquiva Falcao Florentino

:38:34.:38:41.

was starting to get through with his own punches. -- did the damage.

:38:41.:38:50.

They certainly affected him. can do this. Let the shot scope.

:38:50.:38:59.

needs to create the room to punch. That is what he has to do. Three

:38:59.:39:07.

points adrift. That was a slip. Demand picking himself up from the

:39:07.:39:12.

canvas is Anthony Ogogo. - us the man. The shot caught him while he

:39:12.:39:19.

was off balance. That will only count as one scoring. But it will

:39:19.:39:29.

not do his confidence any bid. Now there is a four point gap took over

:39:29.:39:32.

Campbell's de Esquiva Falcao Florentino is quicker with his

:39:32.:39:42.
:39:42.:39:42.

hands. Anthony Ogogo is in a bit of trouble. If he takes a third count

:39:42.:39:49.

in this round, it is all over. He will not want to lose on stoppage.

:39:49.:39:56.

He has to get his focus back and just depend for about the next 30

:39:56.:40:01.

seconds or serve until the head clears. Esquiva Falcao Florentino

:40:01.:40:11.
:40:11.:40:13.

punches like a meal. Anthony Ogogo is in a bit of trouble. -- a mule.

:40:13.:40:17.

Very fast punches from Esquiva Falcao Florentino at the beginning

:40:17.:40:23.

of the round. Anthony Ogogo has walked on to a couple. He is making

:40:24.:40:29.

mistakes and falling short. He needs to clear his head, get close

:40:29.:40:38.

to his man and start again. About 30 seconds or so have lapsed since

:40:39.:40:45.

the second knock-down. He is swinging widely. The rhythm is

:40:45.:40:50.

deserting him. Esquiva Falcao Florentino is looking far too

:40:50.:40:55.

strong. Those punters have really taken their toll. His beat has

:40:55.:41:04.

slowed down. -- punches. He needs to stay there. That was a bit low.

:41:04.:41:11.

Just over a minute to go. He was three points adrift at the start of

:41:11.:41:18.

the round. He took two standing counts. That was not a bad right

:41:18.:41:23.

hand but it was not delivered with a lot of them. Esquiva Falcao

:41:23.:41:28.

Florentino is so tough. Good footwork from the Brazilian.

:41:28.:41:33.

Anthony Ogogo is giving it everything, as we knew he would

:41:33.:41:43.
:41:43.:41:47.

will start had ago, at San! Fast hands. -- have a go, son! From the

:41:47.:41:53.

opening 45 seconds of this last round, I think he has done enough.

:41:53.:41:59.

Good right by Anthony Ogogo. Can he do it against the number four seed

:41:59.:42:05.

and the bronze medallist from last year? He had a bad start to the

:42:06.:42:11.

round. The crowd is stamping their feet and rising to his efforts. He

:42:11.:42:17.

gets caught again. Keep your head up! Esquiva Falcao Florentino has

:42:17.:42:24.

won this contest. There was a period of maybe 45 seconds when he

:42:24.:42:30.

scored a lot of points, but Anthony Ogogo on the cambers. An exhausted

:42:30.:42:36.

Anthony Ogogo moves back to his corner. -- the canvas. Unless we

:42:36.:42:43.

have read it completely wrongly, his Olympic dream is over. It will

:42:43.:42:47.

be Esquiva Falcao Florentino who had answers to the middleweight

:42:47.:42:51.

final. Anthony Ogogo gave it everything but did not recover from

:42:51.:43:00.

those two shots. It was a good left hand. It was a terrific punch that

:43:01.:43:06.

caught Anthony Ogogo. He never really recovered. That took a lot

:43:06.:43:12.

out of him, that shot. Such a brave effort from Anthony Ogogo. He was

:43:12.:43:21.

off balance. His legs seemed slower from that point. This man has won

:43:21.:43:25.

it. Brazil will do well to keep him in the amateur ranks to the next

:43:25.:43:32.

Olympics in Rio in four years' time. The Brazilians are celebrating

:43:32.:43:39.

already and we feel with fairly decent reason. A piece of paper has

:43:39.:43:44.

been handed to the man on the PA system. The winner come up by a

:43:44.:43:54.

score of 16.29, Esquiva Falcao Florentino. From the moment Anthony

:43:54.:43:59.

Ogogo went down for his second time in the third and last round, the

:43:59.:44:06.

contest was always moving in the direction of the man from the sale.

:44:06.:44:13.

Congratulations to Anthony Ogogo, who has overcome so many problems.

:44:13.:44:18.

-- from Brazil. His family will be proud of his efforts. Esquiva

:44:18.:44:22.

Falcao Florentino has moved on to the final of the middleweight

:44:22.:44:31.

division. What a performer he is! 16-9 over all. Anthony Ogogo will

:44:31.:44:41.
:44:41.:44:47.

have to be content with that for celebrations from the Brazilian

:44:48.:44:53.

corner. It just goes to show how hard it is to win a gold medal at

:44:53.:44:59.

the boxing in the Olympics. Anthony Ogogo is still leaves these games

:44:59.:45:03.

with a medal. He can add that to the silver medal he picked up in

:45:03.:45:09.

the Commonwealth Games a few years ago. Now back to the BMX racing. We

:45:09.:45:15.

have seen some amazing pictures. The kind of thing that has

:45:15.:45:20.

attracted that man to watch. So far, Shanaze Reade and Liam are riding

:45:20.:45:30.
:45:30.:45:40.

really well. They both finished find her position. Sandra

:45:40.:45:43.

Aleksejeva, she did not manage to pull herself up the rankings, that

:45:43.:45:49.

is the least favourite lane for everyone pretty much. Maris

:45:49.:45:53.

Strombergs somehow seems to be able to turn it to his favour. Stefany

:45:53.:45:59.

Hernandez in seven. Lauren Reynolds did not have the best start, she

:45:59.:46:06.

has not managed to pull herself up through the gates. Shanaze has

:46:06.:46:12.

again picked gate 5 there. If she gets the good start, she can cut

:46:12.:46:22.
:46:22.:46:23.

across. Brooke Crain, lane four. Laetitia le Corguille, one of two

:46:23.:46:29.

French women in these semi-finals. And in two, Alise Post, a little

:46:29.:46:39.
:46:39.:46:41.

ball of dynamite, so explosive. And then Caroline Buchanan, first in a

:46:41.:46:51.
:46:51.:46:58.

seeding and first in the last semi- Oh! And it is Laetitia le Corguille

:46:58.:47:03.

who has gone down, Shanaze has got a very clean line into the first

:47:03.:47:09.

turn. Somehow Buchanan has got caught up at the back. They are

:47:09.:47:13.

chasing Shanaze and out of the tunnel, but she has got a lot of

:47:13.:47:19.

space. That was Alise Post who went down. Stefany Hernandez in second,

:47:19.:47:24.

Buchanan trying to trace her down in third. Lauren Reynolds then

:47:24.:47:29.

Brooke Crain, but Shanaze Reade having an absolutely dream start, a

:47:30.:47:36.

dream finish. Shanaze Reade is almost guaranteed a place in the

:47:36.:47:40.

finals now. Somehow, Caroline Buchanan, from a terrible start,

:47:40.:47:48.

managed to claw that one back. Alise Post, she felt -- she felt

:47:48.:47:53.

almost... As we see from the start, Buchanan did not get the start she

:47:53.:47:58.

wanted. Shanaze Reade, good lane Choice, Out Of Trouble. Laetitia le

:47:58.:48:05.

Corguille did not even make it over the first and second jump. There

:48:05.:48:13.

must have been some contact with Buchanan. That is Brooke Crain and

:48:13.:48:18.

Hernandez... Sorry, that was Posed. Just getting off balance, unable to

:48:18.:48:25.

stay on the bike in the turn two. Buchanan taking just enough evasive

:48:25.:48:31.

action, fantastic slow-motion. Shanaze, with three features

:48:31.:48:34.

distance between her and second place, Buchanan, who somehow

:48:34.:48:38.

managed to reel in Hernandez. is really good for Shanaze, she

:48:38.:48:42.

will take huge confidence, and I could see the difference in the way

:48:42.:48:46.

she was riding, a lot more confident. This was the big

:48:46.:48:51.

question, she has not raised in any of the big races this year, how

:48:51.:48:55.

will she bear in traffic? But she was emphatic. That was a brilliant

:48:55.:49:00.

ride by Shanaze, she seems to be in the zone. Let's hope she can keep

:49:00.:49:10.
:49:10.:49:17.

it up, and then I can pretty much women's semi-finals. -- they line

:49:17.:49:21.

up. Sarah Walker very disappointed, having come through the seedings so

:49:21.:49:29.

well. She had a very difficult start. She was knocked down the

:49:29.:49:34.

rankings of lane choice. Fantastic run for Mariana Pajon of Colombia,

:49:34.:49:42.

who had the dream season in 2011. But 2012 so far has not been that

:49:42.:49:51.

impressive. The crowd here get a little cue from the commentators

:49:51.:49:55.

just to quieten down, and you get this lovely hash just before they

:49:55.:50:05.
:50:05.:50:17.

usual. She did very well in Beijing, I think is was 4th. Laura Smulders,

:50:17.:50:26.

just 18. She is coping so well with the pressure. Aneta Hladikova at.

:50:26.:50:36.
:50:36.:50:37.

Squel Stein from Brazil will not be racing. Just seven riders now. Then

:50:37.:50:47.
:50:47.:50:58.

Mariana Pajon from Colombia in lane a clean start, Sarah Walker does

:50:58.:51:05.

much better this time. She and Mariana Pajon out in front, Magalie

:51:05.:51:09.

Pottier a underneath Walker, taking second spot. Laura Smulders, Walker

:51:09.:51:13.

gets caught again, she is pushed wide and did not have any speed to

:51:13.:51:21.

clear. Mariana Pajon and Magalie Pottier out in front. Warfare is

:51:21.:51:27.

coming back, making her presence felt. -- Walker. They look like

:51:27.:51:31.

they are settled as they come into the final straight, Mariana Pajon

:51:31.:51:35.

just picking it up, Magalie Pottier accelerating but could not take

:51:35.:51:41.

care on the line. So Mariana Pajon, two semi-finals down, one to go,

:51:41.:51:49.

and she has two first places. Dream races. Absolutely. I am surprised

:51:49.:51:52.

by Sarah Walker, she seems to be handed off the boil. She had the

:51:52.:51:56.

lead coming down the first straight, but as she came out of the first

:51:56.:52:06.
:52:06.:52:15.

turn, she seemed to back off, Liam Phillips and Shanaze Reade are

:52:15.:52:20.

doing well so far, just to clarify, there are two heats in the semi-

:52:21.:52:24.

finals, and each one goes three times. Shanaze has been around

:52:25.:52:29.

twice, she came in second in the first run, but you were surprised

:52:29.:52:34.

by her gate choice. She took the middle gate, and I ensue will be

:52:34.:52:38.

really confident and will start heading to they can incite gate.

:52:38.:52:45.

That will make it easier for her. Leah Phillips -- Liam Phillips,

:52:45.:52:49.

should he be feeling confident? has not made a mistake all weekend.

:52:49.:52:53.

Consistency is what it is about in the semi-finals, Top four would do

:52:53.:52:58.

it. That is the thing about this format, it rewards the most

:52:58.:53:03.

consistent rider. Definitely, we normally only run one semi-final,

:53:03.:53:07.

but it is three at the Olympics, and it is a way of getting the

:53:07.:53:12.

fastest guys through to the finals, it is working out. Five-time world

:53:12.:53:15.

BMX champion, is this a scene you ever thought you would see? We have

:53:15.:53:25.
:53:25.:53:25.

as a fan it is amazing, it is good for the sport, they are loving it,

:53:25.:53:31.

and I think the riders and fans are loving it, it is a dream country to

:53:31.:53:35.

see BMX racing at the Olympics. Time now for Liam Phillips to go

:53:35.:53:45.
:53:45.:53:51.

for his second run in the semi- up into the start gate, Liam

:53:51.:53:55.

Phillips there, Khalen Young, another disastrous run for him. He

:53:55.:54:05.
:54:05.:54:06.

is out in lane late. -- 8. Quentin Calderon, a few people would have

:54:06.:54:11.

been looking sideways at him on the finish line, his mistake caused the

:54:11.:54:17.

crash macro in the heat. Edzuz Treimanis, his face is fully taped

:54:17.:54:22.

up, he smashed himself on the widow Maker at the start of the home

:54:22.:54:26.

straight, and now he has taped his nose to try to keep the airways

:54:26.:54:32.

open. Liam Phillips there, Connor Fields is their huge threat next to

:54:32.:54:42.
:54:42.:54:50.

them. But he was taken down by result here in London 2012 apart

:54:50.:54:55.

from first so far. A good tactical move from Liam Phillips in lane

:54:56.:55:05.
:55:06.:55:12.

start for Liam Phillips. Charging down the first straight, but Connor

:55:12.:55:16.

Fields is in action, to. Liam Phillips trying to find a clear

:55:16.:55:20.

line, he goes inside Connor Fields. He will have the inside line over

:55:20.:55:25.

the gap but outside into this complex. He is very happy there,

:55:25.:55:31.

everybody looks quite happy. Quentin has been trouble for a

:55:31.:55:35.

couple of people. Liam Phillips finding a clear line, but Connor

:55:35.:55:39.

Fields takes the lead in front of Raymon van der Biezen, the first

:55:39.:55:44.

person to pass him. They are neck- and-neck down the last straight.

:55:44.:55:49.

Smart riding by Liam Phillips, not driving himself to Crazy, a nice,

:55:50.:55:56.

safe finish, he will take third place. You saw Connor Fields fly

:55:56.:56:00.

down the rhythm section, he is so good on the track. He got a really

:56:00.:56:04.

good start, Liam Phillips really making him work for it. That is

:56:04.:56:08.

exactly what we were looking for, somebody challenging Raymon van der

:56:08.:56:14.

Biezen. Great first straight, so much for Liam Phillips to be

:56:14.:56:18.

confident about here through these semi-finals. He is racing against

:56:18.:56:24.

the two strongest riders we have seen, barring Sam Willoughby, maybe.

:56:24.:56:30.

He is holding his own very comfortably. Connor Fields will be

:56:30.:56:35.

very happy with that, building some more confidence. In the annex, it

:56:35.:56:40.

is all about confidence, finding rhythm, building confidence. -- in

:56:40.:56:50.
:56:50.:56:54.

graphics now. Raymon van der Biezen has a first and a second. Connor

:56:54.:56:57.

Fields is level with Liam Phillips, but he has a first place, so he

:56:58.:57:04.

goes ahead of them, but a big gap, four points back to Jiminez. Then

:57:04.:57:10.

there is a bit all -- bit of a battle going on, any of them could

:57:10.:57:20.
:57:20.:57:33.

take fourth place. Now the second Marc Willers up at the gate. He

:57:33.:57:38.

took a nasty crash, he did not finish the first race, and it does

:57:38.:57:46.

not look as if he will be lining up for the second semi-final race. Oh,

:57:46.:57:52.

no, they're he is! The dark horse, the last man to get on the startled.

:57:52.:57:56.

The black outfit against the black background, the Stealth bomber.

:57:56.:58:04.

Roger Rinderknecht in the lane eight. Then Marc Willers, so deadly

:58:04.:58:10.

in yesterday's quarter-finals, he has just gone off the boil here.

:58:10.:58:17.

Joris Daudet has not had the run he wanted. He will be desperate to get

:58:17.:58:27.
:58:27.:58:27.

back in this. Twan van Gendt, his countryman of Raymon van der Biezen,

:58:27.:58:32.

then the reigning Olympic champion, Maris Strombergs, they call them

:58:32.:58:38.

the Machine. Not looking so good this weekend. The Colorado Kid,

:58:38.:58:46.

David Herman. Carlos Oquendo Zabala, very good at staying out of trouble.

:58:46.:58:55.

Sam Willoughby, gate one. Can he win the second heat in a row?

:58:55.:59:05.
:59:05.:59:15.

there. Rates start for Twan van Gendt. -- the right start. Joris

:59:15.:59:20.

Daudet on the outside, Maris Strombergs is just behind. Twan van

:59:20.:59:25.

Gendt has got two lengths in front of Sam Willoughby. Joris Daudet

:59:25.:59:31.

just behind, then Maris Strombergs. Carlos Oquendo Zabala coming in at

:59:31.:59:36.

the inside. We'll be taking the lead into the last turn, a

:59:36.:59:41.

brilliant move. Joris Daudet has overcooked it, he could not get

:59:41.:59:51.
:59:51.:00:01.

through. I think it belongs to the strong, isn't he? He was like a big

:00:01.:00:08.

cat, waiting in the undergrowth. He was waiting for him to make a

:00:08.:00:14.

mistake. He took him on the last corner. He lets Sam Willoughby know

:00:15.:00:22.

he will pick his line. Maris Strombergs was tucked in just under

:00:22.:00:32.
:00:32.:00:48.

Joris Daudet. Sam Willoughby shut Willoughby. He stayed in contact

:00:48.:00:56.

with Twan van Gendt. He changed his line coming into the third straight.

:00:56.:01:04.

He positioned himself perfectly. set it up perfectly. Here we come -

:01:04.:01:14.
:01:14.:01:20.

The action is coming thick and fast this afternoon. We will be back

:01:20.:01:30.
:01:30.:01:30.

with BMX in a while. Now we will take you to Sam live taekwondo her.

:01:30.:01:37.

This man, Lutalo Muhammad, it is his moment of truth. He was

:01:37.:01:42.

controversially selected for these Games ahead of Aaron Cooke. Was it

:01:42.:01:47.

the right decision? Will he make it through to fight for a medal today?

:01:47.:01:57.
:01:57.:02:03.

They have been busy painting a postbox this morning in gold. J

:02:03.:02:13.
:02:13.:02:16.

Jones has the stamp with her face on it. -- Jade. He needs to prove

:02:16.:02:21.

he is the best man for the job. If he carries on winning, the chapter

:02:21.:02:31.
:02:31.:02:31.

will not matter. From Walthamstow. He lives no more than five miles

:02:31.:02:36.

away from here in the crook of the River Thames. He is up against

:02:36.:02:46.
:02:46.:02:47.

Nicolas Garcia Hemme. He is in the blue and Lutalo Muhammad is in the

:02:47.:02:57.
:02:57.:03:05.

Lutalo Muhammad will have seen the work of J Jennings and Martin

:03:05.:03:15.
:03:15.:03:17.

stamper. -- Jade Jones. Typical front leg style. He has moved into

:03:17.:03:23.

a closed stance. That means both players have the same Front lake in

:03:23.:03:33.
:03:33.:03:35.

front. They are trying to invite the other player in. It took Lutalo

:03:35.:03:45.
:03:45.:03:46.

Muhammad some time to find his range in that match against Farkhod

:03:46.:03:51.

Negmatov. The first penalty goes against the Spaniard. If he gets

:03:51.:04:00.

two, it turns red and there will be a point for the Britain. At this

:04:00.:04:07.

stage back it is much of a muchness in terms of tactics and strategy.

:04:07.:04:16.

He cannot let Lutalo Muhammad run at him. When he does, he is very

:04:16.:04:21.

dangerous indeed. He has found a place into this match and has got

:04:21.:04:31.
:04:31.:04:37.

We draw to a close at the end of the first two-minute round. Lutalo

:04:37.:04:44.

Muhammad, deep breaths. He has worked hard to deal with all manner

:04:44.:04:52.

of offstage noises since he got his place ahead of their own code. He

:04:53.:05:02.
:05:03.:05:11.

The only proof will be in the match itself. Lutalo Muhammad will be

:05:11.:05:18.

focused. He retains the full support of everyone. That shot from

:05:18.:05:24.

Garcia for some it was the low blow. Someone not watching his bearing

:05:24.:05:29.

could foster he has been talking to little earlier saying he could not

:05:29.:05:39.
:05:39.:05:45.

bear to be here. -- is air and Coke. -- Aaron Cook. He has gone to the

:05:45.:05:54.

basketball instead. The 5th seed against Lutalo Muhammad. He is just

:05:54.:06:03.

21 and he is on the charge. That was over exuberance from the

:06:03.:06:08.

youngster. Garcia was on the Matt, incapacitated. Lutalo Muhammad will

:06:08.:06:15.

have to watch that. That was unnecessary and dangerous.

:06:15.:06:22.

overly costly on the scoreboard. They both got a point apiece. 30

:06:22.:06:29.

seconds gone in the second round. Just getting over excited. He came

:06:29.:06:39.

over the top. That is why there was a full point deduction. The Front

:06:39.:06:49.
:06:49.:06:50.

lake is the one closest the opponent and vice versa. -- front

:06:50.:06:59.

leg. If you are wondering what all the fuss is about, those electronic

:06:59.:07:07.

sensors are triggered when the foot hits it. They used to be barefooted.

:07:07.:07:12.

Those white socks have devices inside which will show up the score

:07:12.:07:19.

when the body is hit. Sometimes they show up the school. I think

:07:19.:07:25.

that Lutalo Muhammad was convinced one of those kicks ought to have

:07:25.:07:31.

registered. Unless it goes on the scoreboard, the automatic points

:07:31.:07:36.

scored by the computer system and not the corner judges. It may be

:07:36.:07:42.

that corner judges that decide the match. Probably Lutalo Muhammad is

:07:42.:07:47.

better at going to be heard. That could be the changing shot. -- at

:07:47.:07:57.

their head. That was well blocked by the Spaniards. The judges have

:07:57.:08:04.

hand-held consoles. If they press them within half a second at the

:08:04.:08:10.

same time and agree with each other, then the head shot is given. It has

:08:10.:08:15.

to be a consensus. A penalty goes against the name of Lutalo Muhammad.

:08:15.:08:22.

He needs to be careful. He is treading a fine line. There have

:08:22.:08:25.

been a few breaches and contraventions of the laws of the

:08:25.:08:30.

land. He will not mind if he can keep it at one apiece at this stage

:08:30.:08:38.

was dug he is saying the head shots and not working. -- this stage.

:08:38.:08:44.

Taekwondo is the art of kicking and punching and the art of blocking.

:08:44.:08:51.

Their hands are always up, always raised, trying to cover. That is

:08:51.:08:58.

unacceptable. That is why he lost a full point. The referee actually

:08:58.:09:06.

tried to stop him from doing it. Not clear to see what the danger

:09:06.:09:13.

was. It does not get any better at the third time of looking at it.

:09:14.:09:21.

The Spaniard, I think we have seen he is not exactly their answer to

:09:21.:09:30.

Barcelona. He is an awkward opponent. He is providing more than

:09:30.:09:40.
:09:40.:09:42.

awkward enough. A good head shot from the Spaniard. No laughing

:09:42.:09:49.

matter. Garcia has the three points that puts Lutalo Muhammad behind.

:09:49.:09:53.

But, the British coach has seen something he was not entirely happy

:09:53.:09:58.

with and he is suggesting that a head shot did not connect. That is

:09:58.:10:04.

the reason for the red card. Spanish coaches have the blue card.

:10:04.:10:11.

It is all very formal. It occurs in the middle of a sport where two

:10:11.:10:18.

blokes are trying to knock each other's blocks off. It is up to him

:10:18.:10:28.

to view the footage. Let's have a look at it for ourselves. That is

:10:28.:10:35.

not the shot we're trying to look at. There is an issue. The video

:10:35.:10:42.

replay that the judges are looking at, while it is this one at the

:10:42.:10:48.

moment, they do have other angles as well. There are five separate

:10:48.:10:53.

cameras. We can see that the British appeal has been in vain.

:10:53.:10:59.

The referee will pocket the card. That means there are no more coming.

:10:59.:11:04.

Lutalo Muhammad is on his own now. He does have the strength and

:11:04.:11:11.

intensity to keep him on the back foot. If he can knock him down like

:11:11.:11:16.

that, once or twice more, the referee will start to look at

:11:16.:11:25.

deductions. That could pay dividends for Lutalo Muhammad. Not

:11:25.:11:32.

with enough accuracy. You need sustained impact for the two point

:11:32.:11:42.
:11:42.:11:52.

shots. Raising the leg. Whether You can see the socks with the

:11:52.:12:00.

electronic sensor on the bottom - on the instep. Whatever electrical

:12:00.:12:07.

devices are in man. The pits under the feet of Lutalo Muhammad have

:12:07.:12:12.

not committed enough with the torso. He needs to give the Spaniard at

:12:12.:12:22.

Hove sandwich or two. That was the good flurry of action. Into the

:12:22.:12:29.

final quarter of a minute. Good the 10th to kick over the shoulder. It

:12:29.:12:37.

did not seem there was much contact. -- good attempt. He might have to

:12:37.:12:47.

change his tactics. It has been off front leg chops. Will he let it go?

:12:47.:12:52.

He is born and bred in his London. He is fighting in a part of the

:12:52.:13:00.

world he knows best. -- East London. Time is ticking away. There is the

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

front leg counter. It has been all Garcia. There has been a lot of

:13:10.:13:15.

effort going into the twists and turns and kicks from Lutalo

:13:15.:13:21.

Muhammad but the sad truth is come up from a British point of view, it

:13:21.:13:31.
:13:31.:13:36.

One or two seconds. The end. It might not be the end of the great

:13:36.:13:40.

British taekwondo debate. With Lutalo Muhammad having gone out in

:13:40.:13:48.

the quarter-finals, there will be those who say it should have been

:13:48.:13:58.
:13:58.:14:00.

Aaron Cook. He has been defeated many times by Aaron Cooke. That is

:14:00.:14:05.

the key point. As much as Lutalo Muhammad is the other man in the

:14:05.:14:09.

selection storm, it is not his fault. He was offered the place and

:14:09.:14:16.

he took it. He has come up short but it will be a Spaniard and not a

:14:16.:14:26.
:14:26.:14:29.

Briton going into the Olympic semi- very shortly as Shanaze Reade and

:14:29.:14:34.

Liam Phillips looked to make it through to the finals of the action.

:14:35.:14:41.

Shanaze Reade is in gate 1, let's joined the action.

:14:41.:14:47.

One of the biggest start hills in Britain. At the bottom of that hill,

:14:47.:14:55.

they have accelerated to 65 kph. Lauren Reynolds with her pink ribs

:14:55.:15:04.

and pink shoes, lane eight. From Latvia, Sandra Aleksejeva. After

:15:04.:15:14.

that fall on the first jump, Laetitia le Corguille. Alise Post

:15:14.:15:23.

so strong this year in supergrass. -- Supergrass. Stefany Hernandez of

:15:23.:15:29.

Venezuela. And then dethroned from her first place seeding, Caroline

:15:29.:15:36.

Buchanan in three. That was for Arielle Martin, the woman she

:15:37.:15:40.

replaced at the start of this week. But with a big cheer from the crowd,

:15:40.:15:50.
:15:50.:16:00.

Shanaze Reade in lane one. They are Buchanan, but Shanaze is floating

:16:00.:16:04.

very nicely. She clipped the second one a little bit, and Buchanan has

:16:04.:16:10.

got in front. Shanaze is holding up his second at the moment. Laetitia

:16:10.:16:16.

le Corguille is not making a move as they go into the hole. Shanaze

:16:16.:16:19.

is being challenged by Laetitia le Corguille, but she is holding their

:16:19.:16:24.

off. Buchanan has taken the lead, Shanaze just needs to stay upright.

:16:24.:16:28.

They come through the last turn and into the finish straight, she has a

:16:29.:16:34.

chance to take you can and if she wants. Just happy to coast in in

:16:34.:16:43.

seconds, very good work. So Lauren Reynolds just coming off on the

:16:43.:16:49.

second straight. Very interesting race. Alise Post on the last

:16:49.:16:54.

straight. Giving it absolutely everything. She is hurt, she is

:16:54.:16:59.

trying to get up, she wants to finish the race. She is absolutely

:17:00.:17:05.

desperate, she knows she stands a chance. She is crawling up the face

:17:05.:17:10.

of the jump! And there will be two who did not finish, by the looks of

:17:10.:17:20.

it. These BMX riders, ladies and gentleman, they have big hearts.

:17:20.:17:24.

All they want to do is finish that race. Alise Post is being walked to

:17:24.:17:34.
:17:34.:17:47.

the finish line, she is absolutely early. Thumping her fist in

:17:47.:17:52.

frustration. Going down so quickly, you just do not have time to react

:17:52.:17:57.

to that. You do not. Shanaze Reade taking the safe option, letting

:17:57.:18:03.

Buchanan take the lead. She just wanted to come out safe. She just

:18:03.:18:07.

wanted a smooth lap, that was a tactical move. Laetitia le

:18:07.:18:11.

Corguille putting a lot of pressure on Shanaze, very interesting to see

:18:11.:18:16.

Shanaze deal with that as well. We have talked about it so much, she

:18:16.:18:21.

has not had a race experience, she has not been in traffic, but she

:18:21.:18:24.

held off Laetitia le Corguille and Brooke Crain and gave Buchanan a

:18:24.:18:30.

run for their money. So the qualifying spots go to Caroline

:18:30.:18:34.

Buchanan, Shanaze Reade, Brooke Crain and Laetitia le Corguille,

:18:34.:18:39.

even after she fell. So those four riders will go into the Olympic

:18:39.:18:47.

final. No surprises, no major surprises anyway. And this is how

:18:47.:18:53.

the next semi-final lines up, Mariana Pajon from Colombia has two

:18:53.:19:03.
:19:03.:19:05.

first places. She is out in lane eight. Romana Labounkova, the

:19:05.:19:10.

Lithuanian, Vilma Rimsaite. Aneta Hladikova has hung around the back

:19:10.:19:14.

of the pack in some of these races, she has not managed to get into the

:19:14.:19:20.

top four. Sarah Walker, big smile. She is always smiling, she has

:19:20.:19:25.

always got a fantastic attitude. She is going to have to work at.

:19:25.:19:29.

Laura Smulders, seven points, sitting in third. That is good for

:19:29.:19:33.

her. Magalie Pottier. As long as she can come through this

:19:33.:19:39.

relatively unscathed, she will be looking comfortable. The explosive

:19:39.:19:44.

ball of Colombian power, Mariana Pajon. Two first places from their

:19:44.:19:49.

semi-final. So big performances needed from Sarah Walker and Laura

:19:49.:19:57.

Smulders and Aneta Hladikova. She is looking to break into the top

:19:57.:20:04.

four and qualify for the final. The gate is down, and it is a great

:20:04.:20:09.

start for Magalie Pottier in two. Mariana Pajon clothing that jump,

:20:10.:20:17.

and it is Walker as they come into the first corner. Now, all three of

:20:17.:20:20.

them, great work from Magalie Pottier A, she looks very

:20:20.:20:23.

comfortable, but Sarah Walker finally looking comfortable on her

:20:23.:20:29.

bike. But Laura Smulders making a nuisance of herself. Walker,

:20:29.:20:33.

interestingly, we have seen some ghost rider footage of the ones to

:20:33.:20:37.

jump those, and it paid off for Sarah Walker. Mariana Pajon

:20:37.:20:44.

comfortably in early. Laura Smulders is 4th. That is the top

:20:44.:20:48.

four riders to progress through to the final. The other four really

:20:48.:20:55.

not getting a look-in there. No, no major surprises, Mariana Pajon

:20:55.:20:59.

definitely standing her authority today, she looks fantastic. With

:20:59.:21:03.

those results, she will get first gate selection in the final.

:21:03.:21:08.

lowest points of anyone going into the final, she will probably pick

:21:08.:21:13.

number one, like she did in this heat. Fantastic start from her,

:21:13.:21:17.

Sarah Walker getting a really good start, not able to get into first

:21:17.:21:24.

position there. Magalie Pottier A Lucking at Mariana Pajon, hunting

:21:24.:21:31.

head down. -- looking. Wore her taking a little bit of a higher

:21:31.:21:37.

line, coming down on the inside. Walker. Mariana Pajon, she must

:21:37.:21:41.

have incredible power output for the size, she is more, but she is

:21:41.:21:45.

really thumping away through these tense. She is a good bike rider,

:21:45.:21:49.

great skill, handling this track with these, even throwing in the

:21:49.:21:54.

kick out! Laura Smulders, the Dutch lady in 4th, does not have the

:21:54.:21:59.

greatest start. Right. But she has made a nuisance of herself by the

:21:59.:22:09.
:22:09.:22:12.

is definitely into the final later this afternoon, so she will be

:22:12.:22:19.

going for gold. It was gold or bust in Beijing, it did not pay off, she

:22:19.:22:23.

will be hoping to put that to bear this afternoon. Dale Holmes, former

:22:23.:22:29.

champion, I feel ill with nerves. have not raced for a while, and my

:22:29.:22:33.

stomach is churning! You feel for the riders, the pressure, what they

:22:33.:22:37.

have gone through to qualify, to be so close to making the final and

:22:37.:22:41.

going for a medal. It is nerve- racking for everybody involved.

:22:41.:22:45.

is unusual for the riders to have such a big crowd, and they are

:22:45.:22:50.

desperate to put on a great show. This is new for our sport. After

:22:50.:22:53.

Beijing, it is our chance for the sport to get out in the real world

:22:53.:22:57.

and for the riders to financially make some money, maybe attract some

:22:57.:23:02.

sponsorship. You know, all of that is important, but the guys still

:23:02.:23:07.

wants to win as well. It is different, but we are like in it.

:23:07.:23:10.

It is nail-biting, bones are being broken. We have just seen Alise

:23:10.:23:14.

Post being walked over the line, fingers crossed it is a better day

:23:14.:23:20.

for Liam Fox -- Liam Phillips, who is about to go on his third run in

:23:20.:23:30.
:23:30.:23:31.

Great Britain. Raymon van der Biezen, the fastest man until the

:23:31.:23:37.

last race, which he lasts to this man, his first loss, and it went to

:23:37.:23:43.

Connor Fields. He one each of yesterday's quarter-finals. -- E

:23:43.:23:53.
:23:53.:24:03.

clean. Rates start from Liam Phillips. B and Connor Fields, Liam

:24:03.:24:07.

Phillips looking very comfortable. Raymon van der Biezen getting

:24:07.:24:10.

schooled down the first straight, but now we're starting to make his

:24:10.:24:17.

presence felt. Edzuz Treimanis are on the inside, Liam Phillips just

:24:17.:24:21.

tagging that John. It is Connor Fields followed by Edzuz Treimanis.

:24:21.:24:27.

Raymon van der Biezen dropped back to 4th. Edzuz Treimanis has a clean

:24:27.:24:31.

line, just behind the back wheel of Connor Fields. Liam Phillips, but

:24:31.:24:39.

from nowhere it is Jimenez. Liam Phillips was shaking his head.

:24:39.:24:44.

did make a couple of mistakes. He will be disappointed with that.

:24:44.:24:50.

an incredible ride from Edzuz Treimanis, from lane eight, it was

:24:50.:24:55.

like he had taken a set of Maris Strombergs power, you should not be

:24:55.:24:59.

doing that from there. A great start, he just cuts across. You are

:24:59.:25:03.

allowed to do that, as long as it is not too aggressive. Obviously

:25:03.:25:08.

you want to be on the inside. Amazingly, Jimenez is on the far

:25:08.:25:15.

left of the picture, somehow he fights his way back. Great racing.

:25:15.:25:18.

Connor Fields, Liam Phillips, Raymon van der Biezen all coming

:25:18.:25:22.

through, Edzuz Treimanis and the outside. Raymon van der Biezen not

:25:22.:25:28.

really impressing in that third moto. Connor Fields took control,

:25:28.:25:35.

looking fantastic. We just saw the back of Liam Phillips bouncing off

:25:35.:25:41.

the knuckle of the jump between the stand up and turn four. So Connor

:25:41.:25:48.

Fields, Edzuz Treimanis... Liam Phillips just getting done by

:25:48.:25:53.

Jimenez on the line, you can see what it means to him. So Edzuz

:25:53.:26:00.

Treimanis, despite an incredible performance, does not qualify. It

:26:00.:26:04.

is Jimenez with 12, Liam Phillips with nine, Raymon van der Biezen

:26:04.:26:09.

with 8, Connor Fields with sex, a very open field. What I am looking

:26:10.:26:15.

at right now, Liam Phillips, nine points, that will not getting a

:26:15.:26:20.

great gate choice, probably 5th or sixth. You say that, a lot of

:26:20.:26:24.

riders are already on nine points, only Twan van Gendt and Sam

:26:25.:26:30.

Willoughby can stay and do that. Unless Twan van Gendt gets second

:26:30.:26:34.

or better, he will slip down the rankings of it, so it may not be

:26:34.:26:42.

disastrous for Liam Phillips. Sam Willoughby, an immaculate ride from

:26:42.:26:49.

him so far today. The Australian is on the right hand side. He is

:26:49.:26:53.

presiding over the other riders in the gate, from the throne of gate

:26:53.:27:03.
:27:03.:27:11.

number one. Roger Rinderknecht, semi-final, just seven points for

:27:11.:27:17.

Oquendo, currently third. The reigning Olympic champion, eight

:27:17.:27:23.

points, Maris Strombergs. The Frenchman, Joris Daudet, nine

:27:23.:27:30.

points. Twan van Gendt is on seven points, you can see as we come

:27:30.:27:36.

through, Sam Willoughby on two. Twan van Gendt on seven, second

:27:36.:27:41.

place, and then their men in sixth place on nine. Only two points

:27:41.:27:46.

separating them. Maris Strombergs needs to beat Joris Daudet and

:27:46.:27:54.

Herman. Out of the Day, a bad start for Sam Willoughby, Twan van Gendt

:27:54.:27:58.

does very well. Maris Strombergs and Twan van Gendt looking very

:27:58.:28:06.

good. Takeover hard through that first berm. Joris Daudet... Oh, he

:28:06.:28:13.

is down! Somehow, the American has not caught up again, he has had bad

:28:13.:28:17.

luck in crisis. Twan van Gendt is out Air France, Maris Strombergs in

:28:17.:28:23.

second. -- out in front. Willoughby is so fast down the

:28:24.:28:28.

rhythm section. He could take Maris Strombergs CEOP. Twan van Gendt,

:28:28.:28:36.

Maris Strombergs, Sam Willoughby, Oquendo. A very, very good race

:28:36.:28:41.

there 4 Twan van Gendt. He has not been that good on the back section

:28:41.:28:45.

of the course, a lot of riders have caught up with him, but he held on

:28:45.:28:51.

to that lead all the way. I think that was the leading man giving him

:28:51.:29:01.
:29:01.:29:02.

Strombergs and the pressure, I told you he could step up when there was

:29:02.:29:12.
:29:12.:29:26.

pressure, and he proved right there Stadium Twan van Gendt. He gets the

:29:26.:29:35.

line up the inside. -- turn for Twan van Gendt. He did very well.

:29:35.:29:45.
:29:45.:29:45.

He took that perfectly pulls up Ben Joris Daudet catches David Herman.

:29:45.:29:55.
:29:55.:29:56.

That is the end of his race. Maris Strombergs manages to make his way

:29:56.:30:03.

into second place. He is just off Twan van Gendt. You talked about

:30:03.:30:09.

Sam Willoughby. His speed is phenomenal. He comes flying past

:30:09.:30:15.

the Colombian. We did not quite see his challenge down the third

sport that gets you so excited. Shanaze Reade, after all the media

:30:44.:30:50.

and hype, she is showing she is here for gold. She is riding a

:30:50.:30:55.

smart race. She has not raced match this year. A lot of people are

:32:38.:32:43.

British taekwondo number one decided he should watch these Games

:32:43.:32:48.

at home on the television rather than compete. They selected Lutalo

:32:48.:32:54.

Muhammad and he got beaten earlier. Lutalo Muhammad, he is the European

:32:54.:32:59.

bronze medallist and the tough opponent. What is your assessment?

:32:59.:33:05.

I had it in me to win the fight. I am disappointed. I apologise to the

:33:05.:33:10.

home fans who make the atmosphere terrific. I did try. I guess it was

:33:10.:33:17.

not enough to Dave. There was a lot of talk in the lead up to it about

:33:17.:33:23.

your ability to score with head kicks. He is a good opponent. He

:33:23.:33:29.
