BBC One: Day 15: 09.00-12.00 Olympics

Hello, and welcome to the penultimate day of London's Olympic

Games. It's all nearly over. But today, 32 gold medals can be won,

the most on offer in any day. So, can two of our biggest names top

the podium, and end this fantastic fortnight in style?

18-year-old Tom Daley has an old head on young shoulders. But, will

he have a medal around his neck tonight, at the Aquatics Centre?

A week on from that sensational Saturday, can Mo Farah light up the

Olympic Stadium again, with a delightful double? It's 25 golds,

and counting. Could canoe sprint deliver number 26 for Great

Britain? Ed McKeever hopes so. And there's high expectations for

European champions Jon Schofield and Liam Heath, in the kayak double

later this morning. So here's what we have in store for

The finals get underway at Eton Dorney at 9.30, with Ed McKeever

first up. After that, we'll be off to the

Aquatics Centre, for the semi- finals of the men's diving.

It's back to the canoe sprint in between, with Jess Walker also in

action. Later today, there's the final of

the men's football: Brazil versus Mexico.

Britain's men's hockey team get a chance to emulate the women, and

claim a bronze medal, with an Ashes clash on BBC Three this afternoon.

At 7.30 tonight, Mo Farah goes in search of 5,000 metre glory.

Tom Daley will hopefully be back on the diving board for the final, at

8.30. And Britain's Luke Campbell fights

Ireland's John Joe Nevin in the So, a big day here at the Olympics.

But we start today with what's happening in the Aquatics Centre,

where the latest stage of Tom Daley's Olympic journey unfolds. He

became Britain's youngest ever champion in an Olympic sport when

he won the world championship at 15. He has lived in the media spotlight

ever since. So, after years of hype, has the 18 year old from Plymouth

From a height of 10 because, it takes Tom david swan 0.6 seconds to

hit the water. He is judged by those who know diving inside out

and upside down, at normal speed. For the rest of us, he has to be

slowed down. Only then, do all the twists and turns of his life reveal

themselves. So, there is a distortion to how we see the world

of Tom Daley. From the moment he looked up at the age of seven at

that platform high above Central Park School in his home city of

Plymouth, and told his dad that up there is one -- where he wanted to

climb, he has been this prodigy falling gracefully, unable to

escape analysis and scrutiny. He began to make an impact at

international competition at the age of nine. He was bullied at

school. He went to the Beijing Olympics at the age of 14.

Brilliant. In 2009, he became individual world champion in Rome.

Tom, come here and give me a cuddle. He won individual gold at the

Commonwealth Games, and in the synchronised. His companion, driver,

film-maker, best mate, his father, aged 40, died of a brain tumour.

This year, Tom won the individual 10m platform in the European

Championships. But, was he doing too much of this? And even in

London, is there no escape of being visible, available to be insulted?

He is up there with the best. This is his moment. But, can he beat Qiu

Bo, his arch rival? For the twists and turns of Bint Tom Daley.

Perhaps we will never see him as he truly is at normal speed, and we

should only worry that he does not go the other way of other child

stars. Except, falling is what Tom Daley does. How we see him is no

more distorted than how he sees the world, from a handstand on the edge

a rig platform 10m up there. Perhaps we should simply enjoyed

Tom Daley and all he does, while it lasts. I was nine when I drew this,

we are doing a handstand in London 2012. All 1.6 seconds of it.

When Tom dives, the voice you hear commentating is Leon Taylor, Athens

silver medallist. And he's here now. It has been quite a journey for him,

particularly since Beijing. Certainly, watching the video, it

shows how long we have known about this young child prodigy. How he

has grown, here he is in his second Olympic Games, at the age of 18. It

is a tough, a rollercoaster. The nation is glued to the TV. He is in

the semi-finals this morning. Last night wasn't great actually. He has

had to cope with the loss of his father, someone incredibly

important to him in his development as a diver. The great thing about

Tom Daley, he seems way above his ears. Everything that life throws

at him, in and out of the swindle macro, major life events, losing

his father, which would rock anyone, he has managed that incredibly well.

He is an inspiration. At the tender age of 18, lots of people are

behind him. It is a big day. cannot be easy. British Olympians

going into this, he is probably one of the best known, and he hasn't

won a medal. Tom Daley is an example, he is so close to so many

of the young people. He is so accessible, so young. Four years

ago, in Beijing. He has grown up now.

Tom gets under way at 10am this morning. And we're now down to the

last 18 divers, after last night's preliminary rounds. It's fair to

say, though, it didn't quite go according to plan for Tom at the

COMMENTATOR: Here he comes. He hasn't a lot to smile about at the

that put him right back into the competition.

It is fair to say it has taken a little while for Tom Daley to warm

crowd cannot believe what they are saying.

Now, Tom Daley. Not a good start. There is no margin for error on

this dive. Just do it right and you Part of the Olympic Games is you

have to go through three rounds before you get to the final.

Normally, the semi-final doesn't have many competitors but this was

He only just scraped into this. was touch and go. Tom and Pete

Waterfield, they both seemed relaxed. As soon as the competition

started, they looked jittery, they didn't seem to be enjoying their

moment. There was nowhere to hide, if you are feeling the pressure. It

is such an accurate sport. If the nerves are affecting you, it is

obvious. As Tom Daley mentioned, it is a long competition. Right at the

end. The pressure was building. They were not able to stand up in

the beginning. Tom made it through. It is a marathon of diving. The

points do not carry, which is in his favour. This morning, they

start from scratch. He had some macro -- dives to last. The entry

into the water needs to be vertical with as little splash as possible.

As low as possible. And a vertical entry. That was marginally short of

vertical. Anything far away from vertical is when the marks go very

low, we saw a few of those, and usually. Let us look at this one.

3.6 degree of difficulty. A little bit weak on take-off. He wasn't

He was arching, which meant that the dive was not complete. He

needed his last dive to kick him in. A few people last night were

wobbling. Pete Waterfield didn't make it through. You know him very

well, you want your medal together. His 4th Olympic Games. I spoke to

him. This is the one that let him down. He said, adding to have any

nerves Until I stood on the diving board and it hit me like a train.

He really struggled after that. The enormity of the occasion. Whatever

field you are in, no matter how much you prepare, you still don't

know what that moment will feel like. You can't get 17,000 people

to come in and watch you train, it is difficult to replicate those

conditions. I am hoping and wishing that Tom can perform as he can. I

am not going to talk about medals. If I see him produce the

performance he can, he will be very competitive. That's all you can

ever ask for, in an Olympic final, be competitive. It has been such a

long journey. You get scored for the way you execute a dive, and how

hard it is. After last night, when he changed what he does in his

choice? He definitely will not. In diving, you do six different dives,

they are judged on execution, to give a total for a cumulative score.

He will perform exactly the same, in the same order. He needs to get

rid of those nerves and stop performing at the level he wants to.

I am hoping the one thing I would say it is, put the smile on your

face, that changes everything in the body. He cannot block out the

crowd but you can let it is by you. Those who have done the best job

have stood on the diving board, Yes, Chinese divers were on fire

for stopped judo was faultless. He finished 110 points ahead of Tom

Daley. Qui Bo did not even need to perform his final dive to qualify

for the semi-final. And they knew was up there as well. And the

German gave an exceptional performance in the Pillar Mary's.

It will be exciting. Be to is a very competitive field so the best

of luck to Tom Daley. If Tom Daley, Mo Farah, Luke

Campbell and Ed McKeever do top the podium, it is worth looking at the

contrasting celebrations. We have seen all sorts of ways of enjoying

a golden moment. Jason Muhammad thought he would seek out the

special ones. The golden moment, everything wants

it. What do you do when you have won it. Who has done the most

stylish celebration of London 2012? They have had four years to think

about it. The German discus champion rip his top off like the

Hulk and then took to the hurdles. Ben Ainslie lifts up the Weymouth

Coast line. We have had splashing swimmers,

track kissing, medal kissing, medal biting, flag-waving. And if you

want commitment, it does not get better than dancing Denise Lewis

and the boys in the studio. But which golden moments have shone

brightest? Was it this... SCREAMING: make some noise for the

screening. Is your money on the move they have

been calling the move by Mo Farah. The feel the Love, Team GB, pure

passion from a Victoria Pendleton. The moment of the sweetheart of the

track gave us her heart. Pointing, Andy Murray mastered it. If he

don't want to look up, hit the deck and cover your eyes. Lie back and

think of Britain, Jessica, you deserve the rest. He had just won

the gold medal, how do you celebrate? Chris Hoy likes to keep

it old school. Chris Hoy gets the gold medal. He loves a hope, too.

And we have seen lots of hugging. Most of it has been done by Sir

Steve Redgrave. Keep on hugging! And there have been crying, it has

been emotional. There is one celebration, one athlete who has

captured the imagination with this... His signature move. So for

all of you aspiring athletes, it is great to dream about the golden

moment, but a unique to think about what you will do when you get

there! -- you need to think. Some of those fantastic moments.

There are so Steve Redgrave gets my boat for the hugging. Now to think

about the four years of hard work that ends in disappointment and the

finals of the BMX cycling went that way for the British psyche has,

both Sinead read and her counterpart had at progressed well

Shanaze Reade. She came out with absolute confidence. The first

rider to go sub 40, very nice work, Shanaze Reade. She is getting

caught in traffic. She is in 6th position at the moment, so much to

do. Bitter disappointment for Shanaze Reade. Difficult few days

and she is with me. How are you feeling? It is starting to sink in

that I did not come away with a medal that I had trained so hard to

do so. But I have enjoyed the whole experience of these Olympic Games.

The crowd have been so phenomenal. It has been incredible. What do you

think went wrong in the end? Was it the pressure and it being

overwhelming, but he did have a difficult start? I am not

disappointed, because in the heats I had one of the hardest. I was

battling with Caroline Buchanan from Australia. In the final I

thought I would play it safe a little bit to get out of trouble on

what was going on on the outside. I paused for the split second and

everybody came across to get on the inside of the first corner. I felt

myself trapped in and they could not do anything. The nature of the

sport, you have a split second to make those decisions and it can

then quickly? Yes, that is exciting part of the sport. It is a great

spectacle for people to watch, because it is exciting from start

to finish. It has been one of the hottest tickets. The only criticism

I have heard is everybody flashes by too quickly and it is over so

fast? If I could have had one more than one opportunity to go again

after that, I would have. I was proud of myself how I did, and how

my sponsors got behind me up to the Olympic Games. It has been

phenomenal. I am gutted I did not come away with a medal, but I can

hold my head up high and say added my best. You certainly can,

Victoria Pendleton was there yesterday. You know her pretty

well? Yes. And David Beckham? not see him, my eyesight is not the

best. You do go by pretty quickly. It is good he came and watch.

are only 23, so you have time? You will be back? Definitely. I will

keep training to be the Olympic champion. I have the attributes to

the Olympic champion and I just need to puts it together on the day.

I am going to take it step back door few weeks and gather my

thoughts and see where I go. But I definitely want to be in Rio.

Whether it will be on the track, BMX, I do not know. He will

consider track Cycling for real? Absolutely, it is a possibility.

Victoria has retired and it leaves the door open for other British

athletes coming through. I have demonstrated I am good at track

cycling, getting the gold medal with Victoria. And you are also in

one piece, which is not always the case. We have seen plenty of riders

crashing. You have had your share of broken bones, how many injuries

have you had? To name a few, I have broken my elbow, I have snapped the

ligaments of my wrist, dislocated both shoulders, broken my knee,

broken bones in my feet, my hands. It is not to put people off the

sport, it is the nature of the sport. It doesn't always happen to

everyone, but sometimes you can be caught out. Have they ever been a

moment when you have wavered and thought, this is putting myself

through too much? It is getting harder to cope with the injuries as

you get older, but it is part and parcel. I started racing from the

age of 10, and it is all I news. I was crashing from the beginning

because you want to expand your skills and take chances. And I

thought if this is what it is about, I have to put up with its. This has

not ended the way you would have wished it, but when you look back,

how we remember these two weeks? Probably the best of my life. It is

such a contrast to Beijing when I went in and felt so much pressure,

stress and anxiety. But it has been the opposite, I have been a very

chilled every day, I have enjoyed the crowd, everything, the whole

experience. It has not been the result that I wanted, I came away

with six position, went away with 8th position in Beijing, so I guess

it is a move up the ladder. But it has been the best two weeks of my

life. The BMX has been fantastic to watch. You have some big decisions

to make, but take your time in making them and well done.

There was disappointment on the BMX track for Great Britain, but could

there be happier times at Eton Dorney this morning? That is an

event that has inspired a lot of medals for the rowers. Setting the

scene in Berkshire, Helen Reeves. It is a glorious morning, if not a

little windy which may have an effect on the canoeists. That will

have a headwind in the faces of the guys and girls this morning? It all

mean do tide won't be as fast. The weather forecast has said it might

turn into a crosswind, and if that happens, lane seven and eight might

be affected. Because it is in the grandstand and the tunnelling of

the course, hopefully it won't have any effect on the racing conditions.

This is the day when are strong as medal hopes are in action and it is

Ed McKeever, the man dubbed the Usain Bolt of canoeing. He has

looked impressive in the heats and semi-finals and has sacrifice so

much in his personal life to go for the gold medal? He came out

yesterday, dominated the heats and the semi-final. He will be under

attack from other competitors. The Canadian was there. There will be

competition, the 200m is incredibly tight. Ed McKeever was looking

great. He has said he is coming here for the gold. He is so calm,

despite the weight of expectation, he is taking it in his stride?

seems to be in a focused frame of mind and maintaining it, which is

incredible. He has not been affected by the crowd or anything.

Fingers crossed. Give us an idea of his standing. He was world champion

a couple of years ago, he has been the leader of the pack in Great

Britain over this distance? Absolutely, he has dominated

internationally and nationally. In 2010 he came out wanting everything.

Got beaten a few times in the World Cups, but was European champion in

2011. But I think it almost made him mentally stronger to come out

here, having been beaten at the European Championships and stamp

his authority in the early part of the rates. Jess Walker got through

to the final of the women's kayak 200. She was counting how Lucky

Star has. She said she could not believe it will stop she is a

fantastic performer. She knew she was capable of it, but delighted to

be in the final. Now she is in it, it is all about getting a good

start and making sure she is in the pack. It will be a tough call to

get a month the medalists, but once you are in the race. She is 22 and

it is only her second or Olympics, and she is getting better? Yes, she

is one of the youngest out there this morning. Pavlysh are well hold

her nerve and deliver like she did in the semi-final yesterday.

Liam Heath and Jon Schofield, we have high hopes for them in the

kayak double. They have been on the podium in nearly every competition

they had been in? In the European Championships, they were at the top,

hearing the national anthem, which I ensure this is where they want to

be today. But there is a strong Russian per in the semi-finals.

They will be amongst five of them battling it out for the medal

positions. But the British pair have had a taste of what the gold

medal is and they will desperately be wanting it. They will want to be

on the podium. I am confident in their ability to do that. High

hopes of medals today at Eton Dorney, Ed McKeever, we hope for

the gold medal for him is off at 9:37am.

We will be back with you in a few minutes. Now to hear from the man

himself. He said his first Olympic memories go back to Linford

Christie and Chris Boardman. Now he aims to join them as the British

The 500-metre races have been replaced by the 200-metre races,

and as a consequence that had improved your chance of a medal.

yes, at think it has, I've been successful, silver medal at the

World Championships, pretty much in every race I have done for the past

three years. I am quite confident of my form going into this one.

friend took you to raid canoe club. Yes, after school. In a small town,

not much to do. I ended up wasting by afternoons at the canoe Club.

hasn't been a waste, you are doing very well. I have read that you

have been likened to the Usain Bolt of canoeing. I have heard that. But

Philip I can go as fast as he does. -- Hopefully.

Well, whichever way it goes for Ed McKeever, it will all happen

quickly. 30 seconds that could define his career are about to get

under way at Eton Dorney. The canoe sprint, there are two

distinct types of boat. The kayak is raced by up to four competitors,

known as K1, K2 and K4. Kayak Evans are contested by men over distances

of 201,000 metres. Women compete over 205 hundred metres. The canoe

is C1 and C2. It is also contested over 200, and 1000 metres. The

canoe it is propelled using single blade paddles, directed by using

one stroke on one side. The first to cross is a winner but a

PhotoFinish is often required to confirm results. A dead heat in

qualifying will see both competitors progress but they may

be forced to race again if places are limited.

If he would fight to get involved in a live exports, go to our

website for more information. Back to Eton Dorney.

Ed McKeever is the most calm and focused man down here. Yesterday,

speaking to him after the semi- finals, despite the fact he was

impressive, he didn't get carried away. He had some good times, the

fastest time in the heats and semi- finals. His big danger is De Jonge,

who has had the fastest time in the world over. Admittedly, and an

official time, in the Canadian time-trials. He looked impressive

as well. Ed McKeever, world champion two years ago. Impressive.

Good winter training. Everything has gone to plan. All he needs now

is a little bit of luck, a decent start. Heat is the favourite to win

gold medal for Great Britain, to give us a great start to what could

be an excellent start at Eton Dorney.

He has looked fantastically strong in the heats and semi-finals.

looks to be no witness to Ed McKeever. Earlier, talking to Helen,

everything has been dedicated to this moment. He moved from Bradford

upon Avon, to be close to a good training centre. He has been

training at Eton Dorney for several months. He is used to this scenario

and the bid situation. His preparation could not have gone any

better. The fact he has been the best band in the world, and

excellent preparations, raises our The stage is set at Eton Dorney,

the first of the finals of the day. Let us hand you over to our

army of fans here. Craviotto, second quickest in the

Jonge, quickest in the semi-finals. Beaumont, second in his semi-final

behind Ed McKeever. Novakovic, the European champion.

You know it is a good race when tension. The relative quiet before

with hope for Ed McKeever. That Britain might have a gold medal to

celebrate. He will start fast, no doubt about that. They are away

first time. Who gets out the quickest? Ed McKeever it is out

fast. Powering on. He has such great strength. Craviotto tried to

get alongside him. Coming into the final 50m. Ed McKeever is still out

in front, they will have to work hard. Coming up to the line, still

holding on, it is gold for Great Britain, and the quiet man has let

out a roar, as he becomes Olympic champion. He went up fast. He held

on a strong, he has the gold medal. Absolutely fantastic. He blew the

field a way as he powered away from that start bucket, his stroke rate

up nice and high. Leaving everyone else to catch him up. He will be

delighted, a fantastic three years of competition since his -- this

200 metres race has come into play. Craviotto, confirmed silver medal.

De Jonge, for the bronze medal. A man who was injured, who thought he

might not be in the Olympic Games, after he broke his finger this year.

Beaumont just missing out. A look at Ed McKeever go, he --

they couldn't get near him. He maintained that need, I thought

some of the others might come back. This is the start where he is

renowned, that top speed, driving through, using that upper-body. The

rotation through his body. Driving those blades into the water. The

focus this man has his incredible. He hasn't been fazed by anything in

this Olympic competition. Often, these races are close and

settled by inches. That was a handsome victory. That is what it

means to become Olympic champion. Some work in the west Country they

are celebrating raucously -- somewhere. What a performance from

I am so happy. And, the moment you crossed the line? Relief, it sounds

stupid. Not a nation. Relief, that I could do it in front of the home

front of a home crowd, it is worth it. It is brilliant. I woke up at

through. Crossing the line and taking Great Britain up to 26 gold

medals. What a fantastic start to the day. Rishi Persad.

There is no doubt in his mind he was ready for today. And the way he

performed, if his nickname is the Ice man. He has delivered his

sensational performance. If you were supporting Ed McKeever,

watching from the start, you would He never relinquished that

advantage. This new distance introduced to the Olympics, it has

been perfect for Ed McKeever. He was very good at 500, at 200, he is

simply the best. He was in control, he never looked overwhelmed by the

expectation. 200 metres is about controlling

that explosive power which is what he did. He got a great start and

maintained his advantage. He is such a strong athlete. Heat is so

intense, a combination of physical and mental ability. It all came

together. When this canoe sprint started on Monday, all of the focus

was on today. He has delivered. Two more chances, and hopefully they

will take inspiration from what Hopefully they will be leading the

pack and they will be boosted after seeing Ed McKeever. Fantastic for

the crowd at Eton Dorney. When will we see those races? Jess Walker is

at 10:21am. It is her second a Olympics, she was at Beijing aged

18. She has outside chances of a medal, but with the inspiration of

Ed McKeever, she can scrape into the medal spots. The Russians

looked very good, and they beat the British pair can decently yesterday.

But they feel if they have a better start than yesterday, they can claw

back some of the advantage. Anything can happen. It has been a

fantastic start to the day. Ed McKeever has delivered the first

gold medal for Great Britain of the day. He is now the Olympic champion

in the 200-metre kayak singles. in the 200-metre kayak singles.

Olympics, what was your hopes? was hoping for the gold medal.

Everybody thought I would be able to get the gold even before I did.

I started to believe in myself. I did it. When you boxed in the final

you up against an opponent who had beaten you a couple of times. What

were you thinking when you went into the ring? Just stay relaxed,

feel the atmosphere with the crowd and use it to your advantage. I was

thinking, this is my time in London. It had to be gold for me, it had to

be. You knock her down in the second round? That was fantastic, I

could not believe it. I wasn't expecting it to happen. When it did,

I was like, "yes"!, I have got this one. What we are thinking in the

closing seconds? I was thinking, don't be stupid just keep a close

guard. Nicola Adams has just made history. I was so overwhelmed. I

remember hearing the crowd cheering. I was tapping my chest with the GB

sign, and I was thinking I have done this for the country, and for

Yorkshire. You will now be known as Nicola Adams, Olympic boxing

champion. How good is that, my dream has come true.

Not just Nicola Adams, Olympic boxing champion, but someone who

has it place in Olympic history because her gold medal was the

first ever awarded to women boxers. We have already had a fantastic

moment for Great Britain this morning at Eton Dorney, because we

have finals in the canoe sprint. Ed McKeever's gold came in the kayak

singles. Now it is time for the canoe single final. We can show you

roar of the crowd. De Ayala going well. Yuri Cheban is out strong. He

is half-a-length a. Yuri Cheban is finishing strongly. Yuri Cheban

from the Ukraine takes it. Jevgenij Shuklin still coming through for

the bronze. But Yuri Cheban wins it for the Ukraine. Didn't he control

that race? He left everybody else waiting to catch him. He took it

out there from the very beginning. It is all about getting a fast

start, getting the boat at running smoothly. He has a long stroke but

he maintained his rhythm and pace and kept gliding through the wall

tough. Almost a bit like he was a tiring up towards the end but he

knew he was almost there. The times are so low. He was very quick

yesterday. He was the quickest in the semi-finals. Jevgenij Shuklin

coming through to take the silver. Just ahead of Ivan Shtyl' from

We will be back at Eton Dorney in a few minutes because we still have

two more finals. It will feature Jess Walker of Great Britain. We

will be looking at that race. Time down to her to the aquatic centre

because Tom Daley is back in action. This is the semi-finals of the ten-

metre platform diving. Let's join Leon Taylor. How is it going to

work for Tom Daley this morning, do you think? The crowds are filling

up behind me, watching that divers completing their warm-up. Tom Daley

has just been announced to the audience. It is an extraordinary

atmosphere, the warm ups are done, it is time to make the next six

dives count, the noise is incredible. Obviously, he will have

had a chance to get used to what the aquatic Centre sounds like an

the level of support, because it you were telling me it slightly

unnerved him yesterday? Yes, he looked a bit shaky when he started.

I am hoping he can take it in his stride, as a we are so accustomed

to seeing him do. He has six dives to do. He needs to be in the top 12

to go through to the final. He needs to smile and enjoy it, and

set this place on fire. Six dives, does every divert do the same six,

or can they choose the best? They have to cover six different groups

of dives, forward, backward, in woods, reverse, way you stand

forward and spin back. Twisting, and also the on stand, were you

balance on the end of the board. They can choose the order, so it is

often a game of tactics. When do you do your best dive, when do you

do your weakest dive? We will be with you in the aquatic centre.

This is the moment of reckoning for Tom Daley. He only scraped into the

semi-final in 15th place and only 18 made it through. And only 12

will go through to the final. We heard earlier how he had drawn a

picture of himself competing at London 2012. Nine years on, that

dream is a reality. Or will there be a happy ending?

# He is here again. # The man with the child in his

eyes. # He is here again.

# The man with the child in his The divers have already been inside

and introduced to the crowd. It is the capacity of 17,000 people so it

is a big moment for the divers. reduced them to 18. Sadly we have

lost Peter Waterfield from the original line-up. We have lost a

lot of big names along the way. We nearly lost Tom Daley. He got into

7th place and then faltered. We are looking for a bigger programme from

home this morning. Matthew Mitcham is in the middle of the pack with

an outstanding performance last night. The two Chinese and do not

discount the two Germans. Martin Wolfram was great. Liam Taylor

joins me now. There were some consistent dives, some consistent

ones. Bobby Ball we did not expect, as well. -- from people we did not

expect. The Mexicans, for example. Absolutely. The Mexicans were

running hot. And then some people were faltering. Of course it starts

an zero, a new day, and all six dive scout. Yue -- or six dieds

Andy, his coach. Can we have a few words with him? He knows what he is

doing. He has been here before. It is time to make it count. World

Champion in 2009, lest we forget. European champion this year once

again. We know that he is in decent form. We did not really see it last

night. We will mark the card as we go again, the dives as they

correspond to last night. Dive number five was really his undoing.

We will be looking for that later in the programme. We will see each

dive in reverse order. 18 goes first and first goes 18th. There

will be some big-name casualties going into the final, almost

certainly. Matthew Mitcham not quite on his game, the champion.

David Boudia only just snuck into the semi-final and he will be first

up. If the Mexicans get their programme together, they have a

difficult the effort of 4.1. David Boudia is starting with a high

tariff himself, through 0.6. His opening gambit in the semi-final. -

- 3.6. Arms stand back double Very confident. Very confident to

start with the arm stand. Divers can do the dive in any order, but

they all have to do a hand stand, an inward, reverse and a twist. We

will explain those as we go along. This is incredibly difficult, 3.6.

David Boudia has opened his campaign with a high scoring dive

and that will be in the high eighties. 88.20. He nearly did not

come back today but he is right out there. It is above what we are

expecting from others because they have lower tariff dives. Like Jose

Antonio Guerra. The oldest by six years. That was lovely. He was the

comeback King yesterday. His second dive in the preliminaries nearly

failed. He managed to pull it all together and scrape back through in

17th. He will be looking to up his game today. He did some marvellous

dives but then that glaring error meant it was nearly all over. A

wealth of experience. The 33. -- 33 years of age. Many of you know the

scoring system by now, but for the converts to diving, of which there

have been many, we will explain it. Gleb Galperin of Russia. Not quite

as good as yesterday's opening. He is over vertical as he enters the

water. The judging works like this. Seven Execution judges mark it out

of a maximum of 10. The two highest and two lowest are discounted to

make an average. The total is multiplied by the degree of

difficulty, 3.2 in this case. That gives the total of 81.6. Easy when

you know how! The crowd expected, the crowd wanting Tom Daley to open

up more impressively than he did same, the back two-and-a-half

somersault with pike. Well, it is not a sensational start that we

were hoping for. He is marginally short of vertical but it is a step

up from last night. He might get over 80. But it depends how mean

that judges are feeling. Two-and-a- half twists, just finishing low in

the water. Much more like it from Tom. There is more in the tank but

that was a steady start. He over rotated in the brilliance. He is

playing it safe in the semi-final. -- he over rotated in the

preliminaries. They are fighting against gravity. They go into the

shower to keep warm. Yes, more than 80. 81. 7.5 will count towards the

year. He thought about that. You could really hear a pin drop. He

did the very good job with it. A good dive in his preliminaries, but

faltering in two out of six. That is a very good start, 3.2

difficulty. It is why he wants to be. They are bunching up already.

The 81.6, just ahead of Tom Daley but behind David Boudia. Now the

Colombian, Ortega Serna. We nearly wrote him off but he came back with

a flourish in the preliminaries. Two-and-a-half somersault, 1.5

twists, 3.2. That is a low degree of difficulty. It is the twist dive

and all drivers must perform one in this group. -- divers. 3.2 and it

needed to be good. Unfortunately, he let it over rotate. He stayed in

the pike too long. Too much splash because of the over rotation. That

puts him bottom of the pack six dives own. -- in. 68.8. You cannot

afford to be off your game. 18 will be reduced to 12. Some have done

very well to get here in the first place. But the Kohl will take place

in an hour-and-a-half. Anton are starting very confidently. They

are opening with the lower the degree of difficulty. The head is

close to the diving board sometimes. It is not dangerously close but I

would not want to see them any closer. The judges do not get to

see the replay, just to remind you. Yes, a little bit too close for

comfort. There is a fine line between jumping too far away and

not making the dive and of course staying too close to the diving

board. We get the benefit of three lovely replace. The judges see it

in real time only. -- three lovely He is 21. Very low on difficulty,

3.0. Lots of divers are attempting to 4.5, which carries a difficulty

of 3.7. It had to be well executed Later this month he turns 21.

with pike. Like for like, going head for head. He has a tower at

the end of the diving board, just wet towel does provide some more

grip. The judges have their watchful eye. They input their

scores instantly. The crowd will see it just before you, so you can

hear them shouting and groaning. The defending champion from Beijing,

the three-and-a-half somersault with pike. That is more like it. He

looked a little bit fatigued in the preliminaries. He was not quite as

sharp. That was better. He is quite tall for a diver which makes it

more challenging. He has a low degree of difficulty in comparison

to some of the athletes. The Mexicans and Chinese are using a

higher degree of difficulty and he Swanwick McGrory. -- for Nicholas

Olympic champion himself. He is casting his watchful eye. A steady

dive but may be marginally short as of people know this, moment. Two

competitors born on the exact same day, both 18. Oleksandr Bondar of

Ukraine. Three-and-a-half somersaults with top. 3.2 degree of

starting to find that experience and level of consistency now. He

has always been thereabouts over the past couple of years but at the

grand old age of 18 he seems to be ready coming into his own. He is

one to watch. We did not know which was the youngest competitor, but

with two born on the same day we will have to find out what time

they were born. Oleksandr Bondar has got a decent opening score, as

most of them have been so far. Born on 26th October. Garcia Navarro of

Mexico is going for a Ripper. nice indeed! Such confidence for

this magnitude of dive. We will see lots of the boys performing this

this morning. It is so important that you control the dive. Garcia

doing a fantastic job. He seems to make it so easily. Just a touch

over but he will get a lot of eights. He will go into the lead

for sure. The highest mark so far. Not totally happy because he would

like nine but he gets 8s. He has with this dive. You cannot see

yesterday. Not expected to in this water. Stamping his authority on

to the ceiling, and drills into the diving on the red button. Tom Daley

is in 9th position. He will be doing his second dive in a moment,

and we will be back at the Aquatics Centre. But at the moment, they are

lining up for the next final at Eton Dorney. Jess Walker is in this

she going to hold on? She gets the gold medal! It looked as if the

silver medal for the Ukraine, but no doubt about it, Lisa Carrington

has won the gold medal for New Zealand. She came through a bit

later than I would have had expected her to. She picked up the

pace and the 200 -- the 100m. She held on from there to the finish.

won. And the bronze medal goes to Hungary. Natasa Janics-Douchev also

performed well. Lisa Carrington confirmed it from 50m. Natasa

line and realises she has just become the Olympic champion!

did very well to reach the final, which was won by a Lisa Carrington,

start from Tom Daley. His best dives came in the next couple of

rounds last night. This is Victor to cram into four-and-a-half

see the splash being thrown up. That will reflect in the score.

Quite a differential there. Six marks up to eight marks. He is

champion from four years ago. He has not been in that form recently,

and too cowed most of last year. -- from Tom Daley. He is stepping up a

gear. Just drifting away from the diving board a little bit too far.

That can make controlling it more coach. 85.8. The smile becomes a

wave and he can contemplate number three. This is Nicholas McCrory of

in your mouth like me when they attempt the on stand. No winds, but

nevertheless a lot of pressure on Slightly easier option in the arm

stand group. 3.2. Some of the divers have to 0.5 twists, but he

opted for one and a half. -- some at so many dropped dive today may

well exclude them from continuing in the competition. -- is so any

dropped dive. I have no idea how he manages to control that dive so

well. He launches himself. He should enter the long jump! He just

about manages to control it. Maybe a seven for that. He has come away

relatively unscathed but it could have been much worse. You would

expect that from a springboard not a platform. 77 total score because

of a high degree of difficulty but Marks will be deducted from the

fact he nearly landed in the precise from the Mexican once again.

The Mexicans are really coming in to challenge the supremacy of some

of the top diving nations. Exciting young divers. Just so exciting to

watch. Over the past couple of years they have been doing these

big dives but they have been here and there without impacting on the

standings but now they are mixing it up with the very best. Fantastic

from Sanchez. They have a very high tariff programme which can go

terribly wrong. It can be a remarkably right when it is on its

pair of them used in the synchronised event. 3.8. It is so

complicated. The triple twist. Then you have got to get yourself into

the pike shape and get into the water. He does it so well. Because

of the degree of difficulty, that will go well over 85 points. That

will keep him well up in the business end of the field. I have

not seen many 90s so far but here comes one. Not a high is that he is

going to go to. There will be a 4.1 from both of them I didn't before

we finish and if they come off, they are absolutely spectacular. --

from both of the Mexicans before we technically proficient from Germany.

Giving himself plenty of time to come out of the dive. He points his

toes up towards the ten-metre and has plenty of time to look at the

entry. The spray is disturbing the water so the driver can see exactly

where they want to go. German efficiency? German efficiency, OK.

Martin Wolfram is trying to motivate himself by clapping and

Sascha Klein. We were wondering if any of the wheels would come off

for the divers that are performing exceptionally well in the

preliminaries, but this was decisive. High risk, the high

degree of difficulty, and he has got it all going on. That is two

out of two for Sascha Klein. It is bunching up in the business end of

the field. More of an inclined than a decline for Sascha Klein. We are

registering some more 90s now. They can still improve. We can improve

upon it tonight, probably. That was just spot on. A little bit of

splash yesterday but none there this time. He jumps away from the

diving board a safe distance and squeezes into the top shape. He

just disappears into the water. Just his sheikh let him down,

flattering his feet. -- his shape off was good. He entered the war to

keeping the body tension, -- the water. A little bit early, a little

bit flash. He needed to hang on a little bit. He was giving the

impression that it was easier than it was. When Qiu Bo makes an error

it is only slight and he will still get it to for points. Is that right

for that dive? -- gets 85 points. Yes. We expect efficiency and total

accuracy from the Chinese and that was just a little bit off which is

why they are not in the top three. Martin Wolfram. Who would have put

money on him leading after round to? He has been so precise in

everything he has done in the first chance of making the top 12 apart

from Gleb Galperin. Round three of six in the men's ten-metre platform

semi-final. Tom Daley, time to get going in the preliminary is a

little bit. He is currently 9th with 18 divers. Some big tariffs

still to come. Tom Daley's biggest dive still to come. David Boudia

will open round three, the American, in 6th place at the moment. This

dive has become the staple diet of divers at this level, the forward

so difficult. The governing body of diving rejigged the degrees of

difficulty to make this even more valuable. It used to be 3.5 and it

is now 3.7. It was just too tempting for the divers to resist.

It is high risk. It can all go wrong, but not for David Boudia

today. Sailing over 90 points to 94.35. The beady different from

last night. -- completely different. You can see why he has so many gold

top, 3.2 difficulty. He has come out all guns blazing this morning,

with another fantastic dive. Technically spot on. The pike is

just a touch short of vertical for a 10 but he should get nines. He

continues with the successful campaign so far. Three out of three

for Jose Antonio Guerra. Getting nines is not too far away and he

has gone up to second. The 2007 World Champion is having his

problems. He started so well last night and faltered. He is faltering

early on, Gleb Galperin. It is a very good dive, but as we have been

discussing, 3.0 does leave you off the pace, especially if the other

divers perform before four-and-a- half, which is 3.7. His arms Stand

went drastically wrong and he has got a lot of work to do. That will

not move him off the bottom spot. 72 is solid but semi-finals of this

Daley! Just a little bit loose as he entered the water but he did

keep the splashdown. The all- important entry into the water. His

mother is watching on nervously. Tom moving away from the diving

board. He just sneaks it in, good enough for 80 points. This is the

super slow-motion, squeezing in. Just entering the water. Trying to

keep the splashdown and he does a great job. Well done, that man.

Three out of three in a semi-final for Tom Daley. He goes into second

top, 3.2 difficulty. It is good. Thinking about it a lot seems to

work for him. Some divers go much quicker. He stands there for what

seems to be an eternity. Entering the water just marginally short of

vertical. Clean but not as good as Tom Daley. He will be middle of the

pack but good enough to make it through to the all-important top 12.

79.2, below Tom Daley with a succession of eight.

STUDIO: Tom Daley has done a third of the six dives that he will do.

We will go back in 10 minutes' time with every single one of his dives

morning in the canoe sprint. Ed McKeever ended up winning his race,

They have dominated the World Cup events, and won two out of the

first three. Here, working in unison, having a look across, and

celebrations begin across the line. The Olympic champions, Postrigay

and Dyachenko. I think we half- expected it. Especially during the

early stages here at Eton Dorney. But they did not leave anything to

chance. The Brits got out really strong within, but then they pulled

away. This is confirmation of the Schofield and Liam Heath, they have

always been on the podium. They got together in 2010, and have had

enormous success together. European titles, world champions, World Cups,

they have been brilliant. Liam Heath is due to get married a

couple of weeks, and he proposed to his fiancee with a pot of ice-

cream! Hopefully he can do more for her now. The Russians were

outstanding. But Liam Heath and Jon Schofield can hold their heads up

high. They both live in Maidenhead, near by, so this would have been a

special moment to compete for their country on the water here at Eton

Dorney. They have done They attended the same university,

and did lots of stuff together. they have rarely shown that when we

have watched them. Fantastic team work. You get a sense of the close

relationship. Their bronze medal takes us to 59 medals altogether.

Fantastic the way they did that, given how strong the Russian gold-

medallists were. Yes, the Russians were brilliant yesterday, they were

so good in the heats and semi- finals. When I spoke to them

yesterday, I asked them how to claw it back, and they said the only way

they could was to make a good start. They made a good start but the

Russians were immense from the start. They were so good and

extended their advantage. Normally when you make a good start it leads

you vulnerable in the closing stages, but they were so strong at

the end, that was very impressive. Hats off to Liam and John. -- Jon.

This was a new distance for London 2012. How did it go down? We are

very happy with it! Bronze medal for them, and Jessica Walker

getting to the final earlier. Altogether it has gone down pretty

well for us. For the sport, it has gone down well because the 200-

metre races are so much more exciting, they provide excitement,

and it has proved very popular down here at Eton Dorney. They are just

about to make their way here, and we saw John looking worse for wear

after that. Here they come now. We're going to have a word with

them. Tremendous. A very good performance, we knew that the

Russians were going to be tough, but you gave it everything and we

are all proud of what you have done. That was a really long race. Their

head wind like that, that adds a few seconds on which does not sound

much, but when you are going at that pace, it drags out. I am so

pleased. This is the golden couple of canoeing, Jon Schofield and

Rachel Cawthorn. A lovely moment for Rachel to be here. Let us get

your reaction to that performance today. We knew how much that two

out of you. Yes, that was a long race. I did not think we would make

it to the end. The last day has been horrible, we were not happy

with the heat and we were worried coming into this. But Liam Heath

goes quiet, thinks, and comes out with the right reaction. That start

was amazing, and we held it. Major, how proud Are You of them? I am so

proud of them. I have been living with Liam for the last year, and

every single day they have been the most professional athletes you

could find anywhere, working on every single little thing to get as

fast as they could. I was so nervous watching, but it was great.

I am going to let you go, but that was a tremendous performance. You

always win medals, well done! What a boost for the canoe sprint

team. The day started with the gold medal for red meat cleaver in the

single event, then the bronze medal in the Kayak Double event. This is

the final day of the competition, and we had four finals all over the

shorter and new Olympic distance of 200m. It is all happening in the

Aquatics Centre, Tom Daley and all the divers are in the middle of the

six dives that they have to do in in their performance. Now, the two

push 100 points. This is near on perfect. He is marginally short of

vertical, but that is the only thing wrong. Will he get over 100

points? What a dive! What have the judges seen, remember they do not

get the benefit of replays from different angles, they only see it

in real time. There is one score of 10 points. That will not count.

That is putting pressure on his Chinese team mate. This is chi ball,

Reverse jumping away from the diving board, straight up and down

into the water. Mid-80s for him. Very consistent this morning. That

will keep him in the Top End, behind the two Chinese. I wondered

where he was last night, because we expected him to do what he did in

Those in the crowd will do. The very well. Just leaving the dive

difficult. You have to be courageous and a bit crazy to do it.

You have got to cut through in between your hands and the platform

and spin around three times, holding on. He needed to wait a

little bit longer in the shape but he will get 8s. This is a serious

question. What will they have had for breakfast? The Olympic Village

offers all sorts but they will have had to have something like, I

expect, because you do not do that on a full English! A uncomfortable!

It was a serious question because I do not know what divers have one

there is only a 12 hour turnaround. Gleb Galperin will be getting

cheering from his team-mates because that was spot on but he has

left too much to do because you faltered on his second dive. You

cannot make a big mistake like he did, even though that really gets

90 points. It is not good enough to drop one as drastically as he did

in round two. 89.1 should cheer him low on the water but he played the

waiting game. He pops out, stays tight in his body and gets it. It

was good last night and even better today. He has been consistent. This

will get over 85 points as well. A high degree of difficulty. Four out

of four for Tom Daley. He needs to squeeze into the top shape making

himself as small as possible to complete all the rotations. He does

well to hold on tight. Plenty of fans in here will be delighted to

bit. Steady balance in the armstand. Twitching in the toes to get ready.

think he will scrape into the 80s. You judges, new pairs of eyes. 81.0.

will be relatively low which will leave him off the pace. The

execution is very good but it will not move him up the field. Great

that he has made it through. One of the surprises for me to see in the

semi-final, especially so high up. those that have will probably get

indeed, Anton Zakharov. Sometimes he shows inconsistency. Today he is

solid. Four out of four will put in their or thereabouts. Behind Tom

Daley, probably. -- put him there or thereabouts. 84 point 15, yes,

just behind Tom Daley by four marks. This man is flirting with exclusion

and inclusion depending on how this with 3.3 difficulty. -- triple

somersault. Superb from Riley McCormick just when he needed it.

He is in contention but just outside in 13th with the top 12

making it through. This was decisive. Just tipping over a

little bit as he goes in. It depends how much the judges

penalised him for over rotating. Looking to get into the 80s.

Blowing the cheeks and no smile. Not totally happy. Body language

indicates he is agonising about half twists. Very precise. He has

left themselves too much to do, back down in 16th. The writ entry,

splash of the century. It sounds like you are tearing the Water Park.

Rolling very -- tearing the water apart. Rawling very quickly. Very

good dive nonetheless. He has middle board and the big board, but

he is not bored judging by his face! The former Olympic champion,

Matthew Mitcham. Wonderful dive. He is just starting to turn it on.

Write about the time he needs it as well. He was 11th after three

rounds as well. He is showing is the motion, which not many do.

Beautiful dive from the Olympic champion. He is gradually cranking

emotion. Unusual for divers to celebrate in between dives. He got

110 but it does not count towards Matthew Mitcham and this is exactly

the same dive. He has just scored 9.5, and Nicholas McCrory is not

quite as good. Over rotation and more splash, but still holding it

together under the pressure. Fighting fiercely for a spot in the

final. This is a tough competition. 89.1. That is one mark and a half

less than Matthew Mitcham, which could be very important at the end

of things when we tot up the standings at the end of round six.

Shanghai. Sneaky! I thought he was going to over rotate because he

stayed in the top shape very long. He managed to fix it. He jiggles

about in such a way that he plonks it right on his head. 90. For this

young man as well. And nobody giving anything away. It to 9.10,

that button getting worn out by the judges. -- 89.10. The Mexicans do

not even think about the 3.1 and This will be in the 80s as well. He

held the armstand for quite a long time. Up into the double twist.

Double somersault, two-and-a-half twist, just tipping over past

vertical, so he will be penalised. 7 and a half from the judges but a

high degree of difficulty. Over 80 is just fine for why he needs to

qualify. -- for where he needs. That is his weakest dive so far.

4.1 time everybody! Don't put the kettle on. In with 4 and a half

somersaults. I find it incredible when he went into the water but he

completes the dive. Such ease. Four! Just letting his feet go when

he gets in so the judges will penalise for the big splash but he

will sail over 80 points because it is 4.1 degree of difficulty. His

coach is conferring for what he needs to do next time. But will he

get another next time? He is 11th now. High gambling stakes. It is

nowhere near as big as he would pike for Martin Wolfram. He has

nailed another one. Very consistent last night. Faltering marginally on

his third round dive but this one much better. This is a dive that

Tom Daley was faltering on last night. Martin Wolfram is very much

in contention. Sanchez made a mistake on his third round dive

which is why he has points to make- up. 86.4, so no concerns for Martin

who he looks up to a lot. Sascha since the preliminary. Six out of

six, and that has four out of four, in this morning's semi-final. Just

over 90 points when you do it like that. Fantastic diving from Sascha

Klein. He will be a medal contender place, but not for much longer.

had a 100 dive in the previous round, and another spot on dive. He

tuck the shape. This is a little bit split. But it is a good dive.

So difficult to keep up. He is not happy with the marks. He is being

harsh on himself. That is pretty times. But the time I see him in

training, he is so consistent. -- every time I see him. China will be

first and second at the end of this standings? Chain Bar first and

second, as you might expect. David Boudia, then Sascha Klein them, --

Sascha Klein, M Martin Wolfram, Tom little bit of room, but everyone

else from Sascha Klein all the way down, eight points separates him

all the way down to Matthew Mitcham. Looking for a good finish in the

semi-final to get a good order to dive win in the final. They dives

day. He was faltering and the prelims, so he is the first diver

in the semi-final. He has another 3.6 difficulty to come, but this

was the riskiest. He has done a good job. He will get over 80

points. Just tipping over as he goes, keeps the splashdown, but not

quite. That is the lowest mark he has got today, which is pretty

impressive. There is a smile on the with tuck. -- 3.5 somersaults.

is very good. Hardly any splash. goes into the water. -- short of

vertical. That could prove critical for him, because he is in the fight

for the minor places in the final, and that is not going to help.

Mark is not bad, but if you get less than 8.5, you are on the brink

of exclusion, and it is probably Galperin. But he has left himself a

lot to do. This is going to get 90 points. You can see how far off the

pace years from where you should be. No one is faltering enough for him

to climb back up the field. Appreciation for that dive, it is

gone to their feet, and so they should be. That is the dive of the

competition so far for this young man. Finally finding his form. This

is the kind of promise he has been showing for four months coming into

these Games, and when he needed it, he goes over 90 points. You can

relax in Plymouth. Job almost done. This is Victor Minibaev. 12th place

time before he starts his dives. It seems to work for him. I used to

get tired if I stood there for too long, wanting to crack on. But

Victor Minibaev did a good job, it was the same dive as Tom Daley, but

he was marginally over. You can start to compare and contrast. And

asked how the degree of difficulty is calculated. If you do a back to

the 0.5 somersault, in a tuck position, it carries a 3.3

difficulty, but in the paper position it carries a 3.6 degree of

difficulty. It is more difficult in the paper position, -- pike

position. A differential of 10 points between him, Tom Daley and

Victor Minibaev. That is the penalty he will have to pay for not

going for a higher tariff. This is a back trouble somersault. That was

tricky. He has his head in his hands. You cannot make a mistake

like that and then make it through. He was on fire. You have to flick

towards the tower with your feet, and this is the risk that you take.

It is easy to mess up these difficulties. That is what he has

done. We're looking for her mid-80s, but he has got 36. He has lost 50

points on that. That will allow a Riley McCormick, provided he backs

it up with added dive of his own, very neat and tidy, but marginally

short as he goes in. He will have been looking for an entry without

splash. That is going to get him eights. It is coming out to the

final dive, as it often does in these contests. The boys have all

woken up and are starting to dive at the best of their abilities.

Much more pleasant to commentate on. With standards like this, you

Anton Zakharov has gone below them. -- he will move up a place. You

include a weary, three-and-a-half somersault. -- Jeinkel Aguirre.

had great preliminaries, but he is being outclassed. This is where you

stand for words, jumbo away from the diving board, it is so

difficult. You can only see where you have been. He came out too

and that will be it in terms of his competition. Matthew Mitcham has

made his way up the standings, but he was in danger of not making it

through. He has given himself a see him in 8th position after the

4th round. He has thrown up to much splash. A massive impact, 35 mph.

He rotated a little bit slowly, did not quite get the correct entries.

McCrory is too close for comfort, however, in terms of progression.

McCrory absolutely nails his back spot on. I think it was worth a

little bit more than that. But them do not count, then the rest

are added together under multiplied he has stepped up and delivered

when he needed to. Right on the cusp of qualification. He just

watched his team-mate Mika hotch potch of his dive. One more good

dive away from a place in the Olympic final. I thought you said

hot port for a moment! -- hot pot! Jose Garcia, also -- Ivan Garcia,

with tuck. Well, he has had four good dives in the 80s but that one

might not. Just over rotating as he goes into the water. The take-off

is good. Yes, that is the worst dive we have seen from Garcia. With

some good ones being mobbed by his competitors, that could move in

down the standings. -- move him did for him. This needs to be good.

watched his team mate make a mess of this exact same dive. That is a

bit harsh. He faltered. Sanchez has got some work to do. His third

round dive only scored 36 and he has left himself way off the pace.

He needs to be close to 90 and if it is, he is getting the combat

going. He is in 10th place at the moment. With the Chinese to come,

easily, if anything too easily, over rotating as he went in. The

two-and-a-half twists, into the two-and-a-half somersault. It is

all good and he tucks his chin and let it go over slightly into the

water. Because of the degree of difficulty that will get mid- 80s.

His campaign to get into the Olympic final at the age of 20 is

very much alive. Just one dive to go. One more of a similar standard

and he will be in his first Olympic experienced German. Reverse the and

a half somersaults. Faltering. and a half somersaults. His coaches

clapping but it is polite rather than rapturous. The war to smacking

him on the back of his legs. -- the water. That will be mid-70s, moving

him down from where he once was. Bunching up even more now. He is in

4th place. Two points ahead of the standings so far. You do not

expect to see that form. Almost emptying the pool. Top bombing.

That is not what we expect from this young man. He has been

exemplary until now. He missed his hands as he went in. They slipped

apart. That feels like somebody smashing a baseball bat on the top

of your head. He will be dizzy after that and he will be dizzy

when he sees the scoreboard. If you get the chance, he will put it

right tonight. He is just ahead of from Qiu Bo this morning or last

night but it is good enough. It is an error, but only slight from this

consistent young man. He will still get over 90 points. When you make

an error and still go over 90, it is still very good indeed. He stays

so tight and he gets that clean entry. It is handy being World

Champion, that is all I say! little generous to Qiu Bo, shall we

say? That is the highest Tom Daley has been in a preliminary is or the

semi-final. Up to 4th place. -- in the preliminaries. Look at that

scrap for 12th place. Matthew Mitcham just in, Nicholas McCrory

Justine. It is mighty tight. Tom Daley has only got as many marks in

this competition now as he got last night. 448.45 last night. 432 with

one to go. That shows how under par he was last night. He was certainly

feeling it last night and it is nice to see him relaxed and

enjoying his diving and enjoying the occasion and shining. He will

be forced up in the final round. -- 4th up. There is a reasonable gap

between him and those scrapping for semi-final. Perfectly good this

morning. He is opening up the semi- final. His last dive to get the

spot last night, he certainly earned it with a great performance.

He will smash the 500 barrier, as are many of the athletes this

morning. The boys really coming out tonight in the final. Will they

hold this or will be step it up a gear again? -- will they? David

Boudia is the first with 531. will see many of them going over

12th and he knows how close it is for the final. This is 3.6. Lots of

them will use it to finish. It is big. If he gets 90 points, it will

make him difficult to nudge out of the final. After a disastrous

preliminary, Jose Antonio Reyes wearer was lucky to make it through.

I think you have done enough. should be enough. He broke 500 as

That second dive was really botched. He left himself way too much to do.

That two-and-a-half twist, 3.6, it is good to finish. Not good enough

to get through to the top 12 for Aquatics Centre. They are trying to

Yes, Tom Daley is through! No question about that. Make no

mistake. Tom has responded in exactly the way he needed to. He

went to bed last night thinking, my goodness, what is it like? Now we

has responded. He is going to smash the 500 barrier and he will

definitely be in the top five, putting him in the business end of

the field. The divers will dive in the reverse order. Consistent from

Tom Daley. 89 to finish. compared to 440 in the

preliminaries. Still 40 shy of the total that he got in the European

Championship earlier this year when he was the gold medallist. Through

to the final is all we needed. Well two-and-a-half twists. A great dive

to finish. Tom Daley opted to use a 3.3 in the final round. He opened

the programme with this dive. This is the best thing we have seen from

Victor Minibaev. He absolutely spank it. 90 plus on this.

Certainly a safe passage into the final. We have four members of the

500 club already and there are still plenty to come. What a
