On BBC Three you can watch the men's basketball live. It is | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
tighter at the moment. Handball has been one of the big hits of these | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
games. Today sees the final of the men's competition with Sweden | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
taking on France. For the closing stages of the competition, the | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
handball has moved from the Copper Box to be Basketball Arena. That is | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
where we can watch the match live. Paul Bray is your commentator. It | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
:01:51. | :02:07. | ||
off the foot. Sweden have possession. There is no change from | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
:02:17. | :02:19. | ||
the referee. The ball is loose, he tries to throw it. Sweden are still | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
on the attack, they trail by three. Really, it has been down to their | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
:02:34. | :02:52. | ||
line player shoulder barges him. He was well positioned and used all | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
his experience but he has paid the Price. There it is again. The | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
shoulder was straight in under the chin. He was there too late. He | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
:03:19. | :03:21. | ||
needed to move into the space. He is up and he plays on. He has | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
scored 786 goals. Former world player of the Year - a huge | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
:03:36. | :03:38. | ||
favourite. He went on his own. Fantastic player. A save. Right in | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
front of goal. He has not had the best of championships. They paid | :03:45. | :03:54. | |
the Price at the other end. He celebrates. He started it all with | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
the great save off the line. He was allowed to go all the way through. | :04:01. | :04:11. | |
:04:11. | :04:13. | ||
This time he slope to close the gap. -- he slowed. The defence | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
specialist takes a breather was dug nearly passing to the line. He had | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
to switch it back. It was nearly stolen. It was a French port. He | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
deflected it out of play. They are looking a bit ragged. Sweden are | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
defending really hard. It has been a low-scoring game. Again, Sweden | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
:04:52. | :04:53. | ||
get the advantage. Eight saves. He looks up to the clock. Back incomes | :04:53. | :05:03. | |
:05:03. | :05:06. | ||
Petersen. -- in comes. He went into his wing. He is being used as a | :05:06. | :05:15. | |
wing at and a playmaker. It is deafening in the arena. -- a winner. | :05:15. | :05:25. | |
:05:25. | :05:40. | ||
There will be moister on the ground. Save No. 8. -- moisture. That was | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
not very well placed. Tilt it counts. 9.5 minutes played in the | :05:46. | :05:56. | |
second half. -- still it counts. Again. If you give him the space, | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
he will put it away. Now he has scored three in the second half. It | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
:06:14. | :06:27. | ||
line. He has put one of his trademark shots into the back of | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
the net. That was well defended. We are pass the ten-minute mark in the | :06:34. | :06:44. | |
:06:44. | :06:58. | ||
The Swedish Royal Family approves. The king and queen are among the | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
:07:09. | :07:11. | ||
spectators. That was a bullet of a shot - over 100 kilometres an hour. | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
He failed with his single attempt so far. That passed to the line. A | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
:07:29. | :07:30. | ||
free throw. -- that pass. In on the line again. Into the weighing. He | :07:30. | :07:40. | |
:07:40. | :07:43. | ||
could not do anything with it. -- into the wing. He went in too hard. | :07:43. | :07:52. | |
He has given the ball away will start -- the ball away. He put it | :07:52. | :08:02. | |
:08:02. | :08:04. | ||
wide and not even on target. How could he missed it by so much? -- | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
missed it. 705 goals. It may well have clipped his shoulder. He has | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
not been credited with a save but I do wonder. And cannot believe he | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
put it quite so wide. Back come Sweden. He has a big shot. You need | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
:08:38. | :08:40. | ||
to watch him. He was held up by the 35-year-old defender. There was | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
criticism of his defending at the end of Euro 2012, when they failed | :08:45. | :08:55. | |
:08:55. | :08:56. | ||
so miserably. They tried to put the ball to the line. It went out. He | :08:56. | :09:06. | |
:09:06. | :09:18. | ||
16-13 to France. We're going to go back to the XL arena. Anthony | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Joshua was given the super- heavyweight gold on a countback. | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
The Italians appealed. We have the results of that appeal. Let's get | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
the results. Just a second ago, it feels like Joshua has won two got | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
medals because the result has steered. Anthony Joshua is the | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
super heavyweight Olympic champion. I think when they we scored it, | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
they probably saw that Joshua won it on a wider margin. That was in | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
the West's interests of the Italians. There was something funny | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
about the scoring in the first two rants. The fact they went over it | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
again, they probably said, there was a definite problem and it | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
:10:21. | :10:21. | ||
should stand. So it should be. He won quite clearly. The second round | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
I do not think he was three points down. In the last round he made up | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
for it. He got the points comfortably. I'm sure he won by a | :10:33. | :10:41. | |
wider margin. Quickly reflecting on what has been a terrific boxing | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
contest. Anthony Ogogo picked up bronze. It has been incredible of. | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
It has been very incredible - not only for the boxers but for the | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
country and the next generation of boxes that will come up. The next | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
generation of boxes, at seeing is in her home town and their home | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
country, it will give them great inspiration. -- in their home town. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
Since 1908, we have not had four boxers in the finals. It is a | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
brilliant achievement for British boxing. He is just about to pick up | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
his gold medal of. This is a very special moment for him, isn't it? | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
know he will feel very proud - a job well done. All this work was | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
for gold. Or the hard work, he has been working hard. Sleeping early, | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
not going out with friends. All those things. Big sacrifices was | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
that it has paid up with the got Murdoch. Let's go to our commentary | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
:11:58. | :12:36. | ||
Bronze medallist, representing The Azerbaijani was disappointed to | :12:36. | :12:46. | |
be defeated in the semi-final, 13 points to 12 in the semi-final. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
Wonderful accomplishment for both of these men. Standing on the | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
Olympic medal rostrum, receiving bronze medals in recognition. It | :12:57. | :13:07. | |
:13:07. | :13:24. | ||
has been a wonderful tournament Silver medallist, representing | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
Italy, -- Roberto Camerelli. What an achievement exclamation that he | :13:31. | :13:40. | |
gets his third Olympic medal in this division. -- what an | :13:40. | :13:48. | |
achievement! He has obtained a medal of each colour. A bronze from | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
Athens and gold from Beijing. medallist and Olympic champion - | :13:58. | :14:08. | |
:14:08. | :14:10. | ||
representing Great Britain - Anthony Joshua! Anthony Joshua | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
pumps his best in celebration pulls but he acknowledges the crowd. They | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
cheered him on to the hard fought victory. He has the Olympic gold | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
medal placed around his neck. A proud moment for the 22-year-old | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
from Finchley. He is the Olympic gold medallist in the super- | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
:14:41. | :14:53. | ||
Please stand for the national # God save our gracious Queen! | :14:53. | :15:03. | |

# Long to reign over us. A rendition of Great Britain'as a | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
national anthem by a 10,000 strong crowd in London Docklands. Ladies | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
and gentlemen, the Olympic medallists. It is in recognition of | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
the fact that Anthony judge-led, 22 years of age, is the Olympic | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
champion. -- Anthony Joshua. What an achievement from this young man | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
from Finchley in North London! Four years ago he did not know anything | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
about boxing. He had no idea who James DeGale was. He did not watch | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
his fellow Londoner stand atop the encrypt -- the Olympic rostrum in | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
Beijing. After stepping into a wing for the first time four years ago, | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
this magnificent all-round athletes ran 11 seconds for the 100m when he | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
was a teenager. He went into boxing. With his intelligence, his | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
incredible desire and his work ethic, Anthony Joshua has scaled | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
the heights to big cat -- to be crowned the Olympic super- | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
heavyweight champion. He has followed in the footsteps of such | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
legendary names in the Olympic boxing ring like Lennox Lewis, | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
Vladimir Klitschko. He emulates the accomplished ment of Audley | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
Harrison from Sydney 12 years ago. When you consider that the super | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
heavyweight division was not created until 1984, then the | :17:17. | :17:25. | |
biggest men were often some of the brighter stars of the Olympic ring. | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
That includes George Foreman and Smoking Jo Fraser. Anthony Joshua | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
has just joined their rank as an Olympic title list. Anthony Joshua | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
is the Olympic super-heavyweight champion at the Games of the 30th | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
:17:54. | :18:02. | ||
Incredible scenes here as Anthony Joshua caps what has been the most | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
memorable of Olympic Games with London 2012 proving a massive | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
success. Anthony Joshua, despite the appeal from the Italian, | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
getting his hands on that gold medal. It is a dream come true from | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
the man who only took up boxing four years ago. The modern | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
pentathlon is still to come later on. We could even add to our gold | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
medal total of 29. We could talk about Anthony Joshua turning pro, | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
that is for another day. Tonight belongs To Anthony Joshua, he is | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
the Olympic gold champion here at London 2012. | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
Thank you, to Manish Bhasin, Ron Waddell and -- which she would all | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
and Ron Mackintosh. 90 no way it was the last time we came away with | :18:55. | :19:05. | |
:19:05. | :19:09. | ||
so many gold medals -- 19 oh eight. We asked people why they eat it in | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
the medals. A dish to show whether it is real gold. -- it is to show | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
whether it is real gold. We can get back to the handball | :19:20. | :19:30. | |
:19:30. | :19:35. | ||
final now. France have a slender receiving treatment after a heavy | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
:19:45. | :19:46. | ||
fall. We have eight minutes or so remaining in the final. It is not a | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
big lead. The defending champions, France, looking to become only the | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
second team in the men's handball competition to retain their title | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
after Russia did, albeit under a different title the second time. | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
:20:16. | :20:17. | ||
Play resumes. Sweden have been defending superbly this game. That | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
score will not count. The referee blew the whistle. He was under | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
pressure being pushed away, making the restricting angle worse with | :20:26. | :20:36. | |
:20:36. | :20:57. | ||
waited for the goalkeeper to jump and as the goalkeeper was dropping, | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
he lobs it over the keeper. A team time-out is called by Sweden. They | :21:05. | :21:15. | |
:21:15. | :21:15. | ||
have got back to be -- it back to within one, 15-16. But France have | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
opened up the lead again. That was a fabulous goal. It is how long you | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
:21:30. | :21:52. | ||
there. The Swedish coach is the motivator, the French one is a | :21:52. | :22:02. | |
:22:02. | :22:37. | ||
the end to give them a three-goal lead as play resumes. The French | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
goalkeeper was utterly brilliant in the match against Croatia, he made | :22:41. | :22:51. | |
:22:51. | :23:18. | ||
19 saves. That was superb. French player was fouled on the | :23:18. | :23:28. | |
:23:28. | :23:38. | ||
space and the number 7 player for Sweden was all over him until he | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
knows he has got him on the floor. Kalman has to come out again. They | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
will try and operate in behind him if they can. That was unlucky. He | :23:53. | :24:03. | |
:24:03. | :24:15. | ||
inside the area. He took a step back as Petersen ran at him. He was | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
:24:25. | :24:28. | ||
inside the area. Ekberg will take it. And he scores. With that goal, | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
:24:38. | :24:47. | ||
Ekberg is once more top scorer with eight team that time-out is called | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
by France. Both teams need time to marshal and to make some | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
adjustments as we get into the critical phase of the game. They | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
met in the group stages and France won on that occasion, 29-26. There | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
was nothing in it. At half-time, the Swedes were leading and it | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
looked good going into the second half. The crowds were able to exert | :25:15. | :25:24. | |
pressure. It could go either way. Sweden have three times been built | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
and -- beating in the final by Russia and Croatia. 12,000 | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
spectators are thoroughly enjoying this handball final here in the | :25:35. | :25:45. | |
:25:45. | :25:54. | ||
remarkable. It is not all power either, as that shot shows, a | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
little flick of the wrist to drop it over the shoulder of the keeper. | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
Play resumes, five minutes and 40 seconds remaining in the final. | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
France lead 20-18. Sweden have opted for a more aggressive defence | :26:11. | :26:21. | |
:26:21. | :26:24. | ||
with Kallman at the front. That was a foul. The Swedish captain number | :26:24. | :26:34. | |
:26:34. | :27:02. | ||
sparingly in this game. And it is a goal for France. It comes with a | :27:02. | :27:10. | |
two minute suspension. He shoots and while he is in mid-air, get a | :27:10. | :27:19. | |
push by Kalman and the No. 6 is off. He is unhappy. Five minutes | :27:19. | :27:29. | |
:27:29. | :27:37. | ||
number 64 Sweden, is off. That was exactly what they needed from | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
Andersson, the former captain of the Swedish team, who after being | :27:44. | :27:54. | |
:27:54. | :28:04. | ||
injured for a while, gave up the club and we will wait to see where | :28:04. | :28:14. | |
:28:14. | :28:35. | ||
should have been an attacking foul. There was not a big gap and it was | :28:35. | :28:45. | |
:28:45. | :28:59. | ||
after a backlash. There was a gap. -- after that clash. A change of | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
goalkeeper for Sweden, they bring in the veteran Mutai S Andersson. | :29:04. | :29:11. | |
He is 34 years of age. -- Mattis Andersson. He has not saved any | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
penalties so far in this competition, this would be a good | :29:15. | :29:24. | |
:29:25. | :30:00. | ||
time to start. It is of the post. way now, they have to get organised. | :30:00. | :30:10. | |
:30:10. | :30:29. | ||
The referee is warning they have to saved! It was an awkward one. He | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
shot lower normally be goalkeeper needs to see the arm of the shooter | :30:33. | :30:42. | |
to judge. That was an instinctive reaction. In handball, when the | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
goalkeeper puts the ball out behind the back lane, it is a goalkeeper | :30:47. | :30:57. | |
:30:57. | :31:25. | ||
at the clock. It tells him he does strength put Kallman back at the | :31:25. | :31:35. | |
:31:35. | :31:48. | ||
front. It is a full frontal attack Into the last two minutes. Two | :31:48. | :31:55. | |
goals in it. Will Sweden make it 4th time lucky in a final all will | :31:55. | :32:03. | |
France keep their title? It is deafening. The French supporters | :32:03. | :32:13. | |
:32:13. | :32:37. | ||
are chanting. Saved. A two minute final team time out. Time for | :32:37. | :32:47. | |
Sweden to close the gap. There is not much time left. He would have | :32:47. | :32:53. | |
got away with it if he had not pushed back player pulls dug he | :32:53. | :33:00. | |
looks on bemused. The goalkeeper has saved 11 shots. -- pushed that | :33:00. | :33:10. | |
player. At the other end, he has made 13 saves. Both teams are level | :33:10. | :33:18. | |
pegging. The French scoring has gone some -- Dan sum up with its | :33:18. | :33:24. | |
accuracy. -- gone down somewhat with its accuracy. France will have | :33:24. | :33:31. | |
to defend as if their lives depend on it. Sweden has a three -- a free | :33:31. | :33:36. | |
throw. They have the extra player now, right through to the end of | :33:36. | :33:46. | |
:33:46. | :33:53. | ||
the game. Only one minute and 36 has been given as a throw-in to | :33:53. | :34:03. | |
:34:03. | :34:06. | ||
Sweden. It is a penalty. They could get back within one. The crowd up | :34:06. | :34:15. | |
on their feet. Let's have a look! Were they right? There is the shot. | :34:15. | :34:21. | |
It should have been a French a throw-in. Sweden get a penalty on | :34:21. | :34:29. | |
the back of this will stop they are still remonstrating with the | :34:29. | :34:39. | |
:34:39. | :34:59. | ||
referees. -- at the back of this wane. -- put away. We were inside | :34:59. | :35:09. | |
:35:09. | :35:10. | ||
the last minute. It could go into extra time if it is tired. He has | :35:10. | :35:16. | |
scored. France are two up again. Sweden, who had a chance Cup may | :35:16. | :35:26. | |
:35:26. | :35:37. | ||
have blown it. They need to get a remaining. He needs to get back in | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
goal. Team time out to France. 12 seconds remaining for France to | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
hang on. You might say it may be poetic justice after the ball was | :35:47. | :35:52. | |
knocked out by a Swede and given as eight their win and they scored | :35:52. | :35:58. | |
from the resulting penalty. They have defended superbly, Sweden, | :35:58. | :36:04. | |
throughout this game. They could have been in trouble. As in the | :36:04. | :36:12. | |
group game, they have really dug in. 12th turnovers for France. There | :36:12. | :36:19. | |
had been a lot of mistakes in this game. It has not been a technical | :36:19. | :36:24. | |
masterpiece but it has been high in intensity, strong defence and now a | :36:25. | :36:28. | |
drama. The Swedish fans are desperately hoping they can steal | :36:28. | :36:36. | |
the ball and take this match to extra time. These are snared -- be | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
suspended player will only see action again if it goes to extra | :36:40. | :36:49. | |
time. The Swedes will defend the forecourt. They have an extra | :36:49. | :36:59. | |
:36:59. | :37:06. | ||
player. 12 seconds. One mistake time for France. He looks at the | :37:06. | :37:13. | |
clock. They are going to do it. That is it. The buzzer has gone. He | :37:13. | :37:21. | |
raises his hands aloft. France have defended their title. They are | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
Olympic champions again. Sweden with the power play at the end | :37:25. | :37:34. | |
could not capitalise. Almost ripping his shirt off. The joint | :37:34. | :37:41. | |
top scorer in the competition, for him, that will mean nothing. They | :37:41. | :37:51. | |
:37:51. | :37:54. | ||
had tasted defeat again in an Olympic final. They scored the | :37:54. | :38:01. | |
crucial gulp and France hung on. Incredible scenes in the arena. The | :38:01. | :38:08. | |
crowd is on its feet. It is deafening. French flags are waving | :38:08. | :38:15. | |
and so are Swedish flags. A huge 18 -- achievement for a team not | :38:15. | :38:23. | |
expected to have made it through. That is it. Bronze for Croatia. | :38:23. | :38:29. | |
France have retained their title with a win over Sweden in the final. | :38:29. | :38:39. | |
:38:39. | :38:40. | ||
Brilliant scenes. Congratulations to France. The narrowest of | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
victories. The agony and the ecstasy of the Olympic Games. Let's | :38:45. | :38:51. | |
catch up today's headline makers. Super-heavyweight boxer, Anthony | :38:51. | :38:57. | |
judge-led, has clinched Great Britain's 29th gold Murdoch of the | :38:57. | :39:06. | |
Games after an appeal was rejected. There was a silver for Fred Evans | :39:06. | :39:12. | |
after a comprehensive defeat by the Keswicks star Any boxer in a | :39:12. | :39:22. | |
:39:22. | :39:26. | ||
welterweight final. Uganda got their second ever gold medal ahead | :39:26. | :39:31. | |
of the much fancied Kenyans in the marathon. Let's go back to the | :39:31. | :39:39. | |
modern pentathlon. This is how the standings look. Great Britain's | :39:39. | :39:49. | |
:39:49. | :39:51. | ||
women are keeping up with the place. -- the pace. Samantha Murray is in | :39:51. | :40:01. | |
:40:01. | :40:11. | ||
Coronado's Son. She won the title in Rome in May. She is a 9th place | :40:11. | :40:16. | |
in the competition. Let's see how she can get on over these fences in | :40:16. | :40:26. | |
:40:26. | :40:38. | ||
strong horse. Just going forwards a bit. She is trying to get him back | :40:38. | :40:45. | |
between the fences. She is an experienced rider. She has had a | :40:45. | :40:53. | |
pony club and triathlon background. She is managing well. She is | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
getting him balanced, getting him back together between the fences. | :40:57. | :41:05. | |
That is what she needs to do. He is tending to rush his fences a bit. | :41:05. | :41:15. | |
:41:15. | :41:31. | ||
trying to hold him - trying to keep him back and stop him rushing and | :41:31. | :41:36. | |
flattering over the spent - is back and the fences. Now she will pick | :41:36. | :41:44. | |
up time penalties as well. -- flattering over and the fences. | :41:44. | :41:51. | |
That was disappointing. Not the easiest horse. You can hear Mhairi | :41:51. | :41:59. | |
Spence. She is quite vocal as she goes around the course. 104 penalty | :42:00. | :42:09. | |
:42:10. | :42:10. | ||
Mhairi Spence not having the best of France. Let's cross over to | :42:11. | :42:16. | |
Claire Balding who is at Greenwich for us today and see if she has any | :42:16. | :42:21. | |
idea whether or not Mhairi Spence has spoken after that or not. | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
not get interviews with the athletes between the five | :42:24. | :42:30. | |
disciplines. We have the combined run shoots still to come. That is | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
really expensive. That will cost her about 26 seconds. The next | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
competitor has just started. Samantha Murray is in third place. | :42:40. | :42:46. | |
It is a little bit luck of the draw. Her horse was really big and really | :42:46. | :42:51. | |
strong. It was written already in the afternoon. It came in with all | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
these people who were fantastically respectful and tried to clap | :42:57. | :43:02. | |
quietly. That never really works. Coronado's Son became a bit of a | :43:02. | :43:08. | |
nightmare ride for her. She battled with it as best she could. 104 | :43:08. | :43:16. | |
penalty points and 26 seconds. The run shoot is a fantastic | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
competition. The leader at the end of this riding phase will start out | :43:21. | :43:31. | |
:43:31. | :43:35. | ||
first on the run shoot. It is 3000m Let's rejoin the competition. We | :43:35. | :43:41. | |
are getting into the key contenders. It is amazing, watching a different | :43:41. | :43:48. | |
level of riding abilities. Every time I think someone well jump | :43:48. | :43:54. | |
clear, something goes terribly wrong. It is the difficult thing to | :43:54. | :43:59. | |
get on an unfamiliar horse, ride it for 20 minutes beforehand, and | :43:59. | :44:05. | |
tried to jump these fences without having too many fences down. It is | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
really hard. You say they have 20 minutes beforehand to try to get | :44:10. | :44:15. | |
used to the horse. What can they do? There are some jumps out of the | :44:15. | :44:21. | |
back. They can only jump five of them before they come in here. That | :44:21. | :44:27. | |
is pretty quick to be able to pop on and say, I love you, do you let | :44:27. | :44:33. | |
me? It is a very hard thing. It tests off assets of an athlete with | :44:33. | :44:37. | |
the fencing, the swimming, the riding and then the run shoot. | :44:38. | :44:44. | |
Women have only been able to compete since 2000. Steph Cook won | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
the first Olympic gold medal. We also won a bronze at the next Games | :44:50. | :44:58. | |
and also a bronze at Beijing. Where the only country to have won medals | :44:58. | :45:06. | |
at all three pentathlon so at the Olympics. -- we are the only | :45:06. | :45:16. | |
:45:16. | :45:24. | ||
country. Now let's rejoin the action. Margaux Isaksen Has re- | :45:24. | :45:29. | |
entered the whip - has never the ring. It is the ultimate test of | :45:29. | :45:37. | |
the Olympic sports man and, since 2000, sportswomen. The first person | :45:37. | :45:44. | |
to win an Olympic gold Murdoch in Sydney was Steph Cook. She is | :45:44. | :45:52. | |
sitting behind me. The American has been having an excellent day. Just | :45:52. | :45:59. | |
20 years old. She was equal 4th in the fencing, 16th in the swimming. | :45:59. | :46:07. | |
She will be riding Puck Glen. horses have all been written in one | :46:07. | :46:15. | |
round already. She is the second rider to have this horse. The first | :46:15. | :46:22. | |
rider ended with 356 penalty points. That is a mixture of jumping and | :46:22. | :46:30. | |
time penalties. The American is really taking a flying round. This | :46:30. | :46:37. | |
course is tight on time. She is certainly not hanging around at all. | :46:37. | :46:41. | |
Perhaps she could do with bringing this horse back a little bit | :46:41. | :46:49. | |
otherwise she risks bit flattering over the fences. There you see it | :46:49. | :46:59. | |
:46:59. | :46:59. | ||
coming out of the combination. Two rails down and another one. This | :46:59. | :47:09. | |
:47:09. | :47:11. | ||
course has been designed by Claire Forgat and is designed to test | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
riding ability rather than the horse. There are turns on the cause | :47:15. | :47:25. | |
:47:25. | :47:28. | ||
to test riding ability. American conceding 80 penalty | :47:28. | :47:36. | |
points. Sorry, 60 penalty points. 1140 points, it puts her at the | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
moment at the top of the competition. Maybe she was going at | :47:40. | :47:46. | |
some speed but she spent her horse for giving a decent run around. | :47:46. | :47:51. | |
That was a fairly respectable round. We have only seen one clear so far | :47:51. | :47:57. | |
and that was Iryna Khokhlova. She had a relatively modest performance | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
in the fencing and swimming earlier on today. Just letting her down a | :48:02. | :48:09. | |
little bit. That was not a bad round by her. We're now into the | :48:09. | :48:19. | |
:48:19. | :48:23. | ||
suffering a few injuries in recent years. The way things are going at | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
the moment, if she has a decent round here, she could put herself | :48:27. | :48:33. | |
in a good spot for the combined event which will be at about 6 | :48:33. | :48:39. | |
o'clock. This is her third Olympic Games. She finished 9th in Beijing, | :48:40. | :48:45. | |
11th in Athens. She is also a triple world champion and double | :48:45. | :48:52. | |
European champion. Plenty of experience behind her. This horse | :48:52. | :48:56. | |
was ridden by tomorrow Vega from Mexico in the first-round. -- | :48:57. | :49:06. | |
:49:07. | :49:17. | ||
problems on the course. You can tell the experience of her riding | :49:17. | :49:27. | |
coming out here. She turns right handed into this oxer. Closely | :49:27. | :49:35. | |
followed by two uprights. They are both one metre 20 in height. Coming | :49:35. | :49:43. | |
into the final line now. These are the highest fences on the course. | :49:43. | :49:50. | |
20 penalty points there, just inside the time. She will be | :49:50. | :49:58. | |
pleased with that. That was an excellent round. She looks slightly | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
frustrated to have the one down but at the moment she has gone into the | :50:02. | :50:12. | |
:50:12. | :50:13. | ||
lead of the competition. That will be a good position for her. As we | :50:13. | :50:18. | |
go through, you will see the pentathlon points tot up. For every | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
four points behind the leader, you will go one second behind them. The | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
leader will go first and then we progress down the rankings. At the | :50:27. | :50:34. | |
moment, Amelie Caze is at the top. Mhairi Spence is in 10th position. | :50:34. | :50:44. | |
:50:44. | :50:56. | ||
We are now into the top four of our She started badly in the fencing | :50:56. | :51:01. | |
but she has pushed away up the leaderboard. She was 78 in the | :51:01. | :51:09. | |
swimming competition, so not the strongest of swimmers -- 17th. She | :51:09. | :51:19. | |
:51:19. | :51:35. | ||
is a mum. She has a little girl. because Laura Asadauskaite is very | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
strong in the combined event. If she has a good round here, it will | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
put her in a very good position coming into the final phase of the | :51:44. | :51:49. | |
modern pentathlon competition. Her riding has been little inconsistent | :51:49. | :51:59. | |
:51:59. | :51:59. | ||
in the past but she has really focused on it this year. She is | :51:59. | :52:04. | |
riding the same horse as Sarolta Kovacs in the first round. She was | :52:04. | :52:14. | |
:52:14. | :52:40. | ||
eliminated for taking the wrong Olympic Games. She is ranked number | :52:40. | :52:50. | |
:52:50. | :53:06. | ||
championships and at the World Cup trouble there. This riding course | :53:06. | :53:13. | |
has 12 fences, including two combinations, a double and a treble, | :53:13. | :53:20. | |
making for 15 efforts in all. She has 20 penalty points at the moment | :53:20. | :53:30. | |
:53:30. | :53:34. | ||
penalty points for her right, Asadauskaite will be well pleased | :53:34. | :53:39. | |
with that and it puts her into an excellent position, prior to the | :53:39. | :53:45. | |
combined event. Yes, she is currently leading the competition. | :53:45. | :53:51. | |
And the horse got a little spooked on the way out of the ring. Better | :53:51. | :53:57. | |
on the way out than in the round itself. These horses have been well | :53:57. | :54:02. | |
schooled over these jumps. They can all jump them and they were | :54:02. | :54:08. | |
selected originally from a pool of 150, from all around the country, | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
from stables which are used to providing courses for show jumping | :54:12. | :54:16. | |
and pentathlon competitions. They are used to having unfamiliar | :54:16. | :54:21. | |
riders on their backs but it is all about the chemistry between the | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
horse and rider. That was an extra fence there. This is Samantha | :54:25. | :54:30. | |
Murray, currently lying third in the competition. She was joined | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
16th after the fencing. She was second after the swim. She is a | :54:35. | :54:39. | |
European bronze medallist. What a moment for her as she comes into | :54:39. | :54:49. | |
:54:49. | :54:49. | ||
the ring. This horse was ridden by Chloe Esposito from Australia in | :54:49. | :54:59. | |
:54:59. | :55:04. | ||
experience in riding. Her uncle owns a livery yard. She has grown | :55:04. | :55:14. | |
:55:14. | :55:51. | ||
combination but she gets away with it all. Still Clear at the moment. | :55:51. | :55:59. | |
Just got too close to that. The horse pop in an extra stride. That | :55:59. | :56:09. | |
:56:09. | :56:11. | ||
is two fences down so far. The time penalties are starting to clock up | :56:11. | :56:19. | |
as well. Two offences and 20 time faults as well. It started well for | :56:19. | :56:27. | |
some Myrie who grew up in Lancashire. -- Samantha Murray. At | :56:27. | :56:32. | |
the moment she is third place, only eight seconds off the lead as it | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
stands at the moment. If she can keep her shooting together, she | :56:36. | :56:42. | |
could be in for a podium finish but it will be really tight. We have | :56:42. | :56:52. | |
:56:52. | :56:52. | ||
two more competitors to go here, Yane Marques and Adrienn Toth. What | :56:52. | :56:57. | |
do you think? It is hard to say. It will be such a close and exciting | :56:57. | :57:06. | |
competition. We have some really tough -- top athletes up in the mix. | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
It will be really interesting to see which of the the athletes will | :57:10. | :57:18. | |
be able to hold it together in the shoot. At the moment, it is Laura | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
Asadauskaite in the lead from Lithuania. Amelie Caze is in second | :57:22. | :57:29. | |
place and then Samantha Murray. Iryna Khokhlova is just behind her. | :57:29. | :57:34. | |
We wait to see the last two riders and see if either of those two can | :57:34. | :57:42. | |
take their place in the top three. This is Yane Marques of Brazil. | :57:42. | :57:47. | |
is ranked third in the world. It is her second Olympic Games. She | :57:47. | :57:55. | |
finished 18th in Brazil. This horse was ridden by Sabrina Crognale in | :57:55. | :58:04. | |
the first-round. It is a careful little jumper. But unfortunately, | :58:05. | :58:14. | |
:58:15. | :58:28. | ||
there, Marques needed to keep the fences on the course to get bigger | :58:28. | :58:36. | |
so they are up to height at the end. There were a few hairy moments | :58:36. | :58:46. | |
:58:46. | :58:56. | ||
the front legs. 40 jumping penalties and eight time faults as | :58:56. | :59:00. | |
well. But she held that together pretty well, even though the time | :59:00. | :59:05. | |
was starting to beat her towards the end of it. She will be in | :59:05. | :59:15. | |
:59:15. | :59:17. | ||
second place at the moment. Nora Asadauskaite is still top. -- Laura | :59:17. | :59:27. | |
:59:27. | :59:37. | ||
this combined event. It is no longer a straight run for the | :59:37. | :59:44. | |
finish as it was when Steph won gold in Sydney. There are three | :59:44. | :59:50. | |
kilometres with three lots of five targets with an air pistol to shoot. | :59:50. | :59:53. | |
It is not only a test of the athlete's running ability and | :59:53. | :59:58. | |
shooting ability, but also the ability to keep cool under pressure, | :59:58. | :00:03. | |
to keep their heart rate down and it can really change around in the | :00:03. | :00:09. | |
final section here. David Svoboda of the Czech Republic was the | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
:00:19. | :00:20. | ||
winner of the gold medal yesterday. He had the better run on the hills, | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
a very hilly course around Greenwich Park here. Adrienn Toth | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
:00:39. | :00:52. | ||
than Adam Marosi yesterday who took the bronze medal for Hungary. She | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
:01:02. | :01:17. | ||
points. It will turn it into a very close competition at the top. -- | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
:01:27. | :01:54. | ||
more rails down. And another two in That was five rails down, a total | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
of 100 jumping penalties. It will be interesting to see where that | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
puts her overall in the competition. She will be in 5th position. She | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
was the final rider to go here. 1,100 points for Adrienn Toth. She | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
looks disappointed with that because she was in such a good | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
position as the leader going into the riding phase, but it just | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
proves that this is where things are shaken up. We say that the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
cream does tend to rise at the top and at the top of the leaderboard | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
:02:38. | :02:42. | ||
is Laura Asadauskaite. We will see she's very strong. They raised | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
strong. -- shoot. The Laura Asadauskaite's markings on the same | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
score, so they will set off into the lead. Amelie Caze, only two | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
seconds behind. It is so close at the top. You can't get tighter than | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
that. It really is very, very close. Look up the scores there. That is | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
after the riding. Iryna Khokhlova were the only clear round. Samantha | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
Murray was 13th place. A Elena Rublevska, who led early on, his | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
own the 16th. So, the standings in the riding, in a few moments time, | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
we will be able to tell you the order they will go off in the | :03:36. | :03:46. | |
:03:46. | :03:51. | ||
happiest of times but Mhairi Spence, her hopes of repeating the success | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
she had, have probably gone. We do see that happen in modern | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
pentathlon. Lena Schoneborn, defending champion, right down | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
there in the riding, so they are starting to clear the course away | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
to prepare for the running course. Laura Asadauskaite, top of the | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
leaderboard with Yane Marques, an equal number of points behind her. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
And then at Amelie Caze, who will go to seconds behind Samantha | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Murray. She would go eight seconds behind the leader, Adrienn Toth, | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
and Mhairi Spence going down the leaderboard. She is well out of | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
contention at the moment because she has improved her run and he | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
shooting, but she will go 30 seconds behind the leader. It is | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
going to be so fascinating. The very final medals at London 2012 | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
will be awarded at a roundabout 6:15pm after the combined event but, | :04:53. | :05:03. | |
:05:03. | :05:04. | ||
A disappointing round there for Mhairi Spence, but Samantha Murray | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
is in a good position. She has got a very good time for the combined, | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
hasn't she? It doesn't look like Laura Asadauskaite will be caught | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
by any body but has a much better time than a Amelie Caze and Yane | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
Marques? Exactly, it will be very exciting. I'm fascinated watching | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
the show jumping phase. Some of them of very, very good riders and | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
others, less so. Some horses are easy and some aren't so it has a | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
morbid fascination for me because so much can go wrong. This is the | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
first time in the Olympic Games this has been combined, and they | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
set off with the leaders going out first. We have joint leader setting | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
off together, so will there be argy-bargy? Would it get quite | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
physical as well? They run for a very short period, they stopped, | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
and then to be shooting at the far end of the arena. They are using | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
electric targets, so not actual bullets, but your accuracy has to | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
be very good. Then they have a one, to run, they come back, should | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
again, and repeated, twice. And the winner will be the first one across | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
the line, so there is huge scope for those who are placed in the top | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
10 to make up ground, because you are the target in front of you. You | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
have got some body you are aiming at. We have seen Steph Cook, when | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
she won in Sydney, you can really, particularly with a crowd and | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
support, I think Samantha Murray will think she could still win it. | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
Yes, she has good competitors ahead affair, and Amelie Caze is dangers, | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
right in the mix. She's thinking it's a big chance. Amelie Caze's | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
personal best is a minute and a half a slower than Samantha | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
Murray's. Shooting will a major effect. That can change day-by-day | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
and that is a real test of your ability to calm yourself down, to | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
get a high adrenalin, and then slow your heart-rate down, take aim at, | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
take your time and fire. The two combined, I think it makes it more | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
unpredictable. Having them next to each other in the shooting, when | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
they are catching up with each other, shoulder to shoulder, will | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
be very interesting. I think it will be gripping, the last gold | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
medal awarded. The last silver medal and bronze medal as well. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
What a magnificent end to the Olympic Games it would be of great | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
Britain could manage to be on the podium. For Mhairi Spence, her show | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
jumping has cost her dearly and she's an outside bet now but for | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Samantha Murray it's desperately possible. We will join you for that | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
just before 6pm. Legacy was always a huge part of the London Games and | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
just chatting to friends and family, so many of us already feel inspired. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Thousands of people will take up new sports hopefully. If you went | :08:05. | :08:15. | |
:08:15. | :08:22. | ||
to Tooting Bec Lida today you would I don't think anyone can deny the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Olympic Games has been a fabulous success, Great Britain's third on | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
the medal table. What about the important legacy? Ian Thorpe is | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
:08:41. | :08:45. | ||
asking the same question in Tooting I like teaching people how to swim. | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
I enjoy it. I don't do it very often. On Friday, I thought, maybe | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
I will offer free swimming lessons. And all of these people came to the | :08:58. | :09:08. | |
:09:08. | :09:10. | ||
Great Britain has done really well in terms of performance but what do | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
you think the legacy should look like for Great Britain? It's a good | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
time to actually have a conversation about it. It's a | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
conversation that happens nationally, which needs to happen | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
between government and also a leap sport. What role we play in this | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
country for years to come? We have to look at the impact Sport has. In | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
terms of an over burgeoning of the health budget, getting people | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
involved in sport and exercise, I don't care what a corner, getting | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
active, will save people money in the future. But I don't care what | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
you call it. Children have been inspired by what they have seen on | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
a television. If they have not been, Britain has a problem. The athletes | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
have done well. What has been great be showcasing so many sports. And | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
people saying, I can try that out. It's just fun, and it's something I | :10:09. | :10:19. | |
It's a good opportunity to be taught proper swimming from an | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
Olympic champion. You can improve so much. Have you seen the future | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
Ian Thorpe? I hope not thought it If you would like to get involved | :10:34. | :10:43. | |
in Olympic sports, go to the I think we would love a view Ian | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
Thorpes here. What a great capacity has been. Baroness Sue Campbell, | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
the chair of UK Sport, has come in to talk about legacy. First of all, | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
the success of UK Sport in terms of the money you put into coaching and | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
athletes for the and seeing the fruition of a here, it's a business | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
where you can measure it, can't you? Yes, it's been fantastic, a | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
ten-year journey to see the performances we have seen here | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
today. The money we have invested as not has been invested in the | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
medals for London, but building a high-performance system that can | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
continue to grow and evolves through to Rio and beyond. That's | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
really important. Legacy is about the next generation. I think we | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
have built something here in high performance terms, which will be a | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
very, very strong, sustainable system, and it would not be | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
possible without the lottery and government money. But it's more | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
than money. It's about building a system which looks at coaching, | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
talent development, research, innovation, sports medicine, | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
science is, all of those things which surround the coaches and | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
athletes to make sure they can produce world-class performances. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
talk with Ian Thorpe about Australia's dropping off, a little | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
bit, since Sydney. A lot of coaches left, systems were disbanded, and | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
was never as good as people thought. From the outside, it looked like a | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
mystery project going on at the Institute of Sport, but it's | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
important, in a business, a sports organisation, to have some bawdy | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
good at the top. Somebody needs to come through which includes coaches, | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
doesn't it? It does. One of the things we are proudest of in the | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
last 10 years, is we have done a really good work around both play a | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
part ways, really doing a health check of the talent pathway for | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
each sport, but also matching it to really strong, powerful well- | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
managed coaches. So, in the early days, we imported foreign coaches | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
to really help us take a step up, and now we are developing British | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
coaches underneath which can take their place. I think we have built | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
something very special here. A lot of people think somehow this is | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
going to be the moment that we were at our best. I don't think so, I | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
think we can move on. David Cameron has said this morning he will | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
continue to fund be on the 2014. The money was in place until then | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
but now you have assurances that that level of funding will be there | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
until 2016 it. That must be a huge relief? It's massive. Most | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
importantly, its massive to the Sports, because of these four year | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
programmes are exactly what they say, and it's very hard if you | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
start with uncertainty, you may have less money for the following | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
two years, so the Government's announcement today is terrific, | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
very welcome, and the athletes and coaches, and us, we are grateful | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
because we know our planning for the Olympics in Rio can be the best | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
possible. There is tangible evidence which may back up why that | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
may happen because if you look at how host nations of third in the | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
years afterwards, there is a decline -- host nations have fared | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
in the years afterwards, there is a decline. There is a peak in Athens | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
and then a tailing off and even China, the superpower it was in | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
Beijing, has dropped off somewhat. Some of their medals have gone to | :14:19. | :14:28. | |
great Britain. Other nations get stronger. 29 Metals now. A Anthony | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
Joshua one there are heavyweight. was there. How do inshore this not | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
a tailing off. A home crowd stands for lot. Mo Farah said the crowd | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
got him over the line. It's been a contributing factor, so there has | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
to be a slight accounting for that. Powell do make sure it does not | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
take off like Australia? Again, it's about building a system which | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
is very resilient and sustainable. In the past, what Britain has done, | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
it invested in individuals and coaches but not builders system so | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
as those individuals move on, you can continue to build. I think | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
we're in a great place. We have won more medals this time in more | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
sports, which was one of our promises. 16 different sports. Six | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
more than Beijing. This still scope for improvement in some sport and | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
are still sports which are not quite at the World Class level yet | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
but, but the right investment, they can take a step up, I have been in | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
every arena and the home crowd has been immense. They had been immense, | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
not just for athletes, but they're just such a knowledgeable people, | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
it's been a terrific. They have given our athletes an edge, but I'm | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
very positive that we can celebrate where we are, enjoyed, and then | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
push on again until Rio. I think there is a real commitment in the | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
system. Our performance directors and coaches are looking for the | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
next step up, so I'm excited. ultimately take responsibility for | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
what goes on in their sport so if we look at how they fared against | :16:11. | :16:21. | |
:16:21. | :16:30. | ||
their targets, in athletics was a The stand-out sport, which seems to | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
be no where near its target,, you say it's the most disappointing | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
return. They are very disappointed. I sat with a chief executive | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
yesterday and I know they are devastated. They are instigating a | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
review. What we do after every Games is sit down with each sport | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
and have a thorough look at what happened. And what is possible | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
going forward for that judo said the fact they had won medals, was a | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
relief for their funding. It's catch 22 for the desert swimming | :17:04. | :17:14. | |
now get penalised for not attaining its target? It's a conversation we | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
have to have but we introduced no compromise approach, one of the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
first things I did when I came in, and that's tough, but the world of | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
the elite sport is tough for that I remember after Athens, cutting the | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
gymnastics budget very significantly because they just | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
hadn't got sufficient people in this system to warrant that kind of | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
investment. And look where they are now. They went into Beijing and did | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
well and they are on that trajectory. Sometimes you have to | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
go backwards to go forwards, so it's not about penalising but | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
investing public money in the most effective way to get the best | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
:18:01. | :18:05. | ||
Is that any inquiry that will go on into swimming and is it open? | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
believe in open and transparent ways of working. Everybody | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
understands how we work and how things are invested. And we do that | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
for every sport. Even Dave Brailsford, with all his success, | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
he is still accountable and has to be. He is a wonderful example of | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
somebody who keeps on innovating and pushing on. And we want that in | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
the system. Another strength from the last four years has been how | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
good the sports have been at sharing best practice. Yes, many | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
would love to tap into what Dave Brailsford has done. Yes. Thank you, | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
:18:52. | :18:57. | ||
Sue. In the end, four medals for the athletes in track and field. | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
How would you assess the performance of the team from your | :19:00. | :19:09. | |
perspective across the board? have mixed feelings about it. It is | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
clear we are below eight medals. So a bit mixed about it but there is | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
plenty to celebrate and to remember the iconic moments. We finished in | :19:18. | :19:25. | |
the medal tally, which is exceptional for us. I think we made | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
the nation proud and we can look back at it for a long time. | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
mention the eight medals and it has been well publicised that you said | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
you would consider your position and may be resigned if you did not | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
hit your target. Are you now re- evaluating in light of what you | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
have said, about being in the medal table, and delivering four out of | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
six? It is a slightly different scenario? Yes. It is. I have taken | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
the advice of a few friends and the CEO. We need to go on a break first, | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
for a few weeks. And then take some distance and re-evaluate and look | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
back rationally. So it is something I will get back to in a few weeks. | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
I know you talked about the credibility issue of setting a | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
target and not eating it and then not staying on. I will come back to | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
:20:35. | :20:36. | ||
that. -- not meeting it. Do you think it changes as they thought | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
:20:46. | :20:48. | ||
people's -- changes people's perspective of these Games? We lost | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
our credibility collectively over the last 15 years and I think | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
people are proud now, so I am happy with that. Nevertheless, I have | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
made the point many times, when I was asked, what do you do when the | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
target is not hit? So for me at the moment, it does not change. But I | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
promise to leave that for a while. And I will get back to that when | :21:13. | :21:23. | |
the time is there. Today is about the athletes. That is what they | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
deserve. Charles van Commenee. It will be a bit of time before he | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
makes his decision. Would you like to see him stay on? Yes. He has not | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
been there very long considering how long it takes to shape a | :21:36. | :21:44. | |
performance systems. I think he has brought a discipline and | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
organisation to track and field and he has a huge amount to contribute. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
We hope he does think very seriously and hopefully he stays | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
with us. We have got the World Athletics Championships in 2017. A | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
great target for him as well as Rio. It would be great to have him with | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
us in the system. And if it is on Saturday, it will be great, because | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
that happens every night! Yes. I don't know that we will see another | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
athlete winning the five and the 10. We all wanted it so much. Special | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
moments and special athletes. What are your stand-out moments? You | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
have been too many venues and seen lots of sports? Probably my most | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
tearful moment was Kath Grainger. I have seen her through three | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
Olympics to get that silver and I know how much this meant. Everybody | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
around me was crying. And such a story coming into this. Everybody | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
was willing her and her partner, Anna Watkins, over the line. Yes! | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
We should not forget her! We are so focused on Kath Grainger. But we | :22:56. | :23:05. | |
think the cycling at the velodrome was immense. Chris's final gold... | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
Yes, that has been mentioned so much. And I loved seeing Nicola win | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
that boxing medal. She won the first ever woman's boxing medal. I | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
saw her do that. And what a wonderful event it has been. | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
Anybody who was not sure about women are on the agenda has been | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
blown away by the standard of the women boxers. Yes. I don't know a | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
great deal about boxing but who was standing around aficionados of the | :23:33. | :23:43. | |
:23:43. | :23:44. | ||
sport and they were saying, this is so good. -- but I was standing. And | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
such a fantastic person to go with it. Working on a building site and | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
here she is in an and Olympic championships. I understand boxing | :23:56. | :24:05. | |
will expand the winning events. I think it will be five. Yes, five by | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
the time we get to Rio. They did very well. I sat next to the | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
chairman at Joshua's fight just now and he kept reminding me how well | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
we have done! So I am sure we will do a review. Thank you so much for | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
coming in. Good luck for the next four years. | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
Let's move on to the final of the men's basketball. Not surprisingly, | :24:28. | :24:37. | |
it is the model of the 2012 US Dream Team. They pass the 100 point | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
barrier in five of their seven games, including an Olympic record | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
of 156 points against Nigeria. They took on Spain today in a climax of | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
what has been a dramatic basketball Welcome to London 2012 and the | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
:25:06. | :25:18. | ||
it! Goes up with the two hands and stuffs it with some anger! This | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
game has been out of control for a while. There's your All-Stars | :25:26. | :25:35. | |
showing up. And Spain has defeated Russia, and they will advance to | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
the gold medal game. Now let's Durant, and he hits it. The actor | :25:42. | :25:52. | |
:25:52. | :25:57. | ||
is a thing of beauty. Team USA is They are out in the Olympic Park to | :25:57. | :26:07. | |
:26:07. | :26:18. | ||
the north of Greenwich arena. The will the US come out? And how will | :26:18. | :26:28. | |
:26:28. | :26:33. | ||
Spain come out and react? Calderon brings the ball up. And Anisya | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
Kirdyapkina gets it from Fernandez. But Chandler came out to shut him | :26:39. | :26:49. | |
out. And now they start over. Navarro driving and then they miss | :26:49. | :26:56. | |
the rebound. It is interesting they chose to pass the ball out. I like | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
that play but instead of a shot you have a shot 15 freed from the | :27:00. | :27:10. | |
:27:10. | :27:13. | ||
basket. That is a tough shot. Nothing but net. Four-point game. | :27:13. | :27:23. | |
:27:23. | :27:28. | ||
Calderon brings it back for Spain. Backing in Ron Tyson Chandler. | :27:28. | :27:37. | |
does that so well. He really does have an arsenal in his post. He | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
started off every quarter closely but that was brilliant defence | :27:40. | :27:47. | |
there. A great hand in the face. Over to James and gives a bumper to | :27:47. | :27:57. | |
:27:57. | :27:58. | ||
Ibaka. Durant tries to stuff it through and he will be fouled. That | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
is his first. And he's going for that from deep. The US bench is up | :28:05. | :28:12. | |
in recognition of that. From about the time he took the stuff to | :28:12. | :28:22. | |
:28:22. | :28:45. | ||
step... Yes, they were anticipating lead for the US. Navarro cutting | :28:45. | :28:55. | |
:28:55. | :28:55. | ||
through. Again, backs in on Chandler. It is in, and the foul on | :28:55. | :29:05. | |
Chandler. One thing it seems is that Paul is more effective on the | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
basket. I think he has a bit of both. But when he faces the basket | :29:09. | :29:16. | |
that is when his quick advantage comes into play. We have seen in | :29:16. | :29:21. | |
previous games, the last game we watched, the bronze medal match, a | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
constant help was coming even if it was not a solid double. It was | :29:26. | :29:32. | |
making the post player think. But this time Gasol has all the time in | :29:32. | :29:39. | |
the world to think about what he is going to do next. No way to go... | :29:39. | :29:49. | |
:29:49. | :29:49. | ||
Fernandez comes down with the rebound and runs. Fernandez looking | :29:49. | :29:59. | |
:29:59. | :30:02. | ||
for a pass. And Spain is in the lead. I have the say, the USA looks | :30:02. | :30:07. | |
a little tight now. Not so free and loose. It is not that that is what | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
I think they need right now but they seem to have a comfortable | :30:11. | :30:17. | |
swagger about their game that is not currently present. Durant is | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
off. Fernandez was boxed out by Gasol. That was a good defensive | :30:22. | :30:30. | |
set from the US. And that came right on the buzzer, as you saw. | :30:30. | :30:40. | |
:30:40. | :30:41. | ||
And Bryant could not get anywhere. That went off his rut. And a bit | :30:41. | :30:51. | |
unlucky there. Because that is not what they wanted. Per -- off his | :30:51. | :31:01. | |
:31:01. | :31:05. | ||
foot. As we always say, until the well is dry... Now, instead of a | :31:05. | :31:15. | |
layer, you get that shot. This ball turns things up for the US. Kevin | :31:15. | :31:25. | |
:31:25. | :31:30. | ||
Love for three. The anti- misses. - - and he misses. Spain is up by | :31:30. | :31:40. | |
:31:40. | :31:42. | ||
three. If anybody was wandering whether that was legitimate, it was. | :31:42. | :31:52. | |
Paul left before James. He picked it up. That is quick. Should not be | :31:52. | :32:02. | |
:32:02. | :32:11. | ||
legal for somebody that big to be went off Toby Bryant. The US does | :32:11. | :32:19. | |
look tight. You are right. Defensively. Rudi Fernandez put his | :32:19. | :32:28. | |
head down and kicked it out. It is that away by it Love. I think | :32:28. | :32:37. | |
that's a good call, too. Maybe you get away with it. But that's a good | :32:37. | :32:47. | |
:32:47. | :33:09. | ||
ball. Maybe Love reflected on not see Kevin Grant moving over to the | :33:09. | :33:19. | |
:33:19. | :33:34. | ||
Spain up by two. Kobe Bryant drives. Go 68-68. And again, you just have | :33:34. | :33:40. | |
to wonder, the defence is so porous, where these drives can happen. You | :33:41. | :33:50. | |
:33:51. | :33:59. | ||
have got to be able to step up and from seeming like the Spanish team | :33:59. | :34:09. | |
had taken control, but that's good. The USA looking like they were back | :34:09. | :34:15. | |
into it. Back into their rhythm. Both teams are looking as if | :34:15. | :34:19. | |
they're getting the shots they wanted. That's the question for the | :34:19. | :34:27. | |
defence, because it's so easy. Chris Paul, reaching an, and there | :34:27. | :34:33. | |
is the staff by James but now Pau Gasol puts Spain are back in the | :34:33. | :34:43. | |
:34:43. | :34:43. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds | :34:43. | :35:39. | |
lead, halfway through the third the court, with his arms spread, | :35:39. | :35:49. | |
:35:49. | :35:51. | ||
asking for the foul. That is the third on James. Williams has a | :35:51. | :36:01. | |
:36:01. | :36:20. | ||
three. Love has three. Anthony has able to play. In a sense, they | :36:20. | :36:27. | |
could be playing better without him. They have to go with Pau Gasol all | :36:27. | :36:32. | |
the time. Maybe it's a better match up defensively for them. It's not | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
necessarily that I think he's not a good unit on the fraught but he | :36:38. | :36:45. | |
does bring them some toughness on the inside. Lately, the USA have | :36:45. | :36:55. | |
:36:55. | :36:56. | ||
played for the basket unchallenged. Marc Gasol can stop that from | :36:56. | :37:02. | |
happening. A but even it was in the game, he would not be able to step | :37:02. | :37:12. | |
:37:12. | :37:24. | ||
up. Rodriguez is in for Spain. earth stopping him going for a | :37:24. | :37:31. | |
basket. No, but was a done deal for some time but it was bad defence. I | :37:31. | :37:37. | |
had know why -- I have no idea why he was playing so far too high side. | :37:37. | :37:42. | |
Straight into the basket. Good a shot by Bryant. He's been doing the | :37:42. | :37:50. | |
simple things so well. Remarkable. In this tournament, he's done | :37:50. | :37:58. | |
amazing things, he's done so well. As a defensive specialist, he's | :37:58. | :38:02. | |
great. It must be nice to the Continent week -- complementary | :38:02. | :38:10. | |
player who can contribute in such a good way. A little bit of mopping | :38:10. | :38:15. | |
up going on under the basket. Now Kobe Bryant will take two foul | :38:15. | :38:25. | |
:38:25. | :38:54. | ||
go out and Darren Williams will come in for the USA who now lead by | :38:54. | :39:04. | |
:39:04. | :39:04. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds | :39:04. | :39:50. | |
of a fast break basket. They managed to get back so quickly. | :39:50. | :40:00. | |
:40:00. | :40:00. | ||
Rodriguez lost it. Pau Gasol could not get the dinner. Ibaka, he is | :40:00. | :40:05. | |
running the court and it's a two point game. It's been a good | :40:05. | :40:12. | |
recovery by Spain, but if people start watching this game like a | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
tennis match and see the ball going back and forth, back and forth so | :40:15. | :40:23. | |
quickly, that is of the USA's case. Darren Williams, stolen away by a | :40:23. | :40:33. | |
:40:33. | :40:36. | ||
Rodriguez. And Spain's Pau Gasol is taking a rest. They know it's a | :40:36. | :40:46. | |
:40:46. | :41:00. | ||
mismatch. Key we have seen that tightness. 83-80. And there it is. | :41:00. | :41:07. | |
1.5 minutes to play in this third period. Rodriguez. It was kicked by | :41:07. | :41:17. | |
Darren Williams. Spain, on the shot blocked. Do you know what I think | :41:17. | :41:21. | |
will hurt the Spanish team? Every time I watch Pau Gasol, he's got | :41:21. | :41:29. | |
his hands on his knees. He's tired. He's being put on defence. Even in | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
the zone, he's guarding two or three different people and having | :41:33. | :41:43. | |
:41:43. | :42:15. | ||
to recover and offence, he asked to is the break he needed. I don't | :42:15. | :42:25. | |
:42:25. | :42:37. | ||
Spain wants to run. When they get the rebound by her Rodriguez into | :42:37. | :42:47. | |
:42:47. | :42:50. | ||
the corner. 14 on be shot clock, 30 on the game clock. The foul will be | :42:50. | :43:00. | |
:43:00. | :43:01. | ||
on page Iguodala. That what they needed, to stop this game. Kobe | :43:01. | :43:11. | |
:43:11. | :43:11. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds | :43:11. | :44:02. | |
point game with 27 seconds left of the quarter. Ibaka is out at the | :44:02. | :44:11. | |
three point line. We to means he's not out there to help on defence. | :44:11. | :44:19. | |
We Liam's working, working, five on the clock. -- a Williams. Rodriguez | :44:19. | :44:26. | |
picks it up. He will fire a long shot. It comes off the back board. | :44:26. | :44:36. | |
:44:36. | :44:37. | ||
We saw him as he walks both before wagging his finger. The it was one. | :44:37. | :44:47. | |
:44:47. | :44:51. | ||
The it's a real cat and mouse encounter. Every time the USA get | :44:51. | :45:01. | |
:45:01. | :45:37. | ||
get two or three passes, each team is getting better looks at the | :45:37. | :45:42. | |
basket. And then they become more stagnant, and both teams looked | :45:42. | :45:52. | |
:45:52. | :45:57. | ||
good. Marc Gasol. He is re-entering the game which is good for Spain. I | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
think they need to go back to basics. Pau Gasol on the post and | :46:02. | :46:05. | |
anybody else in a good space, because that's what worked for them | :46:05. | :46:15. | |
:46:15. | :46:15. | ||
in the first. And they had Juan- Carlos Navarro to carry them | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
through the first quarter. The Spanish team have kept pace with | :46:20. | :46:25. | |
the USA throughout. They have refused to allow the Americans to | :46:25. | :46:35. | |
:46:35. | :46:53. | ||
this tournament, you can talk about cheating are more often than not. | :46:53. | :46:59. | |
The balance of good shooting his defence. Sometimes, bad teamwork. | :46:59. | :47:06. | |
It's about shot selection. And the quality of the defence. Try and get | :47:06. | :47:14. | |
the best possible quality shot even against these good, solid defences. | :47:14. | :47:19. | |
Love was hit after the shot by a Fernandez. He got away with it | :47:19. | :47:27. | |
twice in this game. I'm not sure that's a smart foul. K B Bryant is | :47:27. | :47:32. | |
a Grade should do, but I'm not sure why that's a good idea. -- A Greek | :47:32. | :47:42. | |
:47:42. | :47:50. | ||
there in his face. Just a foul on the elbow there that time. So what | :47:50. | :47:56. | |
was not even like he was going to take him out for the game. Misses | :47:56. | :48:06. | |
:48:06. | :48:18. | ||
he has four. Yes, he does. And that could cause problems for him | :48:18. | :48:28. | |
:48:28. | :48:32. | ||
defensively. He makes the ball. Six minutes to play. And it is now one | :48:32. | :48:42. | |
:48:42. | :48:44. | ||
never for the Gasol brothers. -- now or never. It is a really simple | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
but smart play. They just run across screen with what you would | :48:49. | :48:59. | |
imagine is the primary post guy, Gasol, screaming away from the side. | :48:59. | :49:09. | |
:49:09. | :49:30. | ||
the rebound. Out to Navarro. A double screen. Great pass. That is | :49:30. | :49:37. | |
the set to play their love to work. Yeah, and they do it well. But, boy, | :49:37. | :49:47. | |
:49:47. | :49:59. | ||
do you need to make that shot in does differently. So not quite as | :49:59. | :50:09. | |
bad as when he goes off. Will they stay big or small? I would almost | :50:09. | :50:16. | |
bet they don't go with Chandler. Eight-point game. First ball as we | :50:16. | :50:26. | |
approach the halfway point of the final quarter. Cross-court a Paul. | :50:26. | :50:36. | |
:50:36. | :50:52. | ||
inside. He has just got to play, Durant. Regardless of the foul or | :50:52. | :50:58. | |
not. He has got to get technical or he will be thrown out of this game. | :50:58. | :51:08. | |
:51:08. | :51:08. | ||
He is still on the ground... And that was Bryant with the shot. He | :51:08. | :51:18. | |
:51:18. | :51:18. | ||
hits! Anthony is still feeling the pain. Still hobbling. And this does | :51:19. | :51:23. | |
not suit it either team well. When a player is about to shoot, the | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
defender runs right to buy them rather than trying to get down in | :51:27. | :51:37. | |
:51:37. | :51:48. | ||
front and played deep. -- runs the shot. Antibiotics it in. It is | :51:48. | :51:58. | |
:51:58. | :52:09. | ||
a six-point game again. -- and he Bryant and Spain takes possession | :52:09. | :52:19. | |
:52:19. | :52:27. | ||
again. -- tips it to Bryant. can see he takes a half step back | :52:27. | :52:33. | |
because he knows both US players are going to come in. Then he is in | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
perfect position. But if Bryant had pursued, too, he would have been | :52:39. | :52:49. | |
:52:49. | :52:51. | ||
there to stop it. And that defence was picture-perfect on Bryant. | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
But that pass was definitely errant. You have to teach players to get | :52:56. | :53:06. | |
into a position where you can foul. He had to move into the passing no. | :53:06. | :53:15. | |
Yes. And my question is, previously, they inbound the ball and if you | :53:15. | :53:22. | |
are up by 10 with four minutes to play, were due not on the clock to | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
not start immediately and used as much time as you could? -- would | :53:27. | :53:36. | |
you not want the clock? I have a feeling most of those guys know | :53:36. | :53:44. | |
something I don't, though! The US up by six with three minutes to | :53:44. | :53:52. | |
play. A high-scoring game by both teams in this Olympic final. Spain | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
have two silver medals in their Olympic history, including the one | :53:56. | :54:06. | |
:54:06. | :54:07. | ||
from Beijing four years ago. The pass was deflected by Durant and | :54:07. | :54:17. | |
:54:17. | :54:28. | ||
there will be 12 seconds on the brothers and Carlos Navarro. In and | :54:28. | :54:34. | |
out. They tried to keep it him play but only as far as Durant. You saw | :54:34. | :54:42. | |
that there. That is a hard ball. Yes. That is OK. And that is how | :54:42. | :54:51. | |
the game is played. Gasol is now going with the up and under. So he | :54:51. | :54:58. | |
has just got to go back to the sweeping ball, the one-piece moved. | :54:58. | :55:06. | |
That is what you don't want to do! Create a one-way system for them. | :55:06. | :55:16. | |
:55:16. | :55:26. | ||
And by that I mean "wow"! A double and it was good. Great pass behind | :55:26. | :55:32. | |
the back to Gasol. They have had a number of star performances and | :55:32. | :55:39. | |
they're doing everything they can. What you were saying before, Gasol | :55:40. | :55:48. | |
cannot challenge, not that he would want to, because he has four forts. | :55:48. | :55:58. | |
:55:58. | :55:58. | ||
And he'd get sit through. Six points. -- and he gets it through. | :55:58. | :56:08. | |
:56:08. | :56:08. | ||
Over two minutes to play. The US slowing things up. Per boy, this | :56:08. | :56:18. | |
:56:18. | :56:22. | ||
feels dangerous! He hits it! James for three. That is huge. | :56:22. | :56:31. | |
STUDIO: Well, the lead proved unassailable in the end. The USA's | :56:31. | :56:36. | |
20th Olympic gold in the basketball. It is closer than the final they | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
had against Spain four years ago. They are catching up, but the USA, | :56:41. | :56:51. | |
:56:51. | :56:53. | ||
just so dominant. James, the MBA star, enjoying his Olympic medal. | :56:53. | :57:02. | |
And Bryant, both of them huge global stars. And afterwards, he | :57:02. | :57:10. | |
Once again, you have got a gold medal around your neck and I can | :57:10. | :57:15. | |
see from the smile on your face what this means to you guys! Yes. | :57:15. | :57:21. | |
To be here now, representing our country, it is unbelievable. | :57:21. | :57:28. | |
have you guys gel to become such a great team? We know about you | :57:28. | :57:38. | |
individually but together? We share the ball and to try to take the | :57:38. | :57:43. | |
shots. If and you have got such support. How much have you enjoyed | :57:43. | :57:48. | |
being in London? It has been great. London has done a fantastic job for | :57:48. | :57:54. | |
the Games. The City has done a fantastic job. I saw you getting a | :57:54. | :57:59. | |
bit emotional at the final. Can you tell us why this is so tearful for | :57:59. | :58:07. | |
you? This is my last round. So it is always emotional. Time flies! | :58:07. | :58:13. | |
Here I am now, and it is just a great opportunity to be able to | :58:13. | :58:20. | |
enjoy it. And you have been a hero to so many. Can you tell us what it | :58:20. | :58:25. | |
means to have had those Stars and Stripes on your Jersey? It just | :58:25. | :58:31. | |
means so much. A dream come true. Enjoy the moment, enjoy the gold | :58:31. | :58:37. | |
medal. You are Olympic champions again. A thank you. | :58:37. | :58:46. | |
Well done, USA. There is a bit of movement around the Olympic Park. | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
The French and Swedish teams have been in the Basketball Arena and we | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
also suspect people are coming in now for the Closing Ceremony as | :58:53. | :58:59. | |
well, and you cannot see this, but I have seen some shots of what is | :58:59. | :59:03. | |
going on in the stadium at the moment. They are rehearsing and you | :59:03. | :59:08. | |
have probably seen the Spice girls photos in the papers. I have just | :59:08. | :59:12. | |
seen a bit of a rendition of what they are going to do. It is going | :59:12. | :59:19. | |
to be an amazing show. Let's bring you the headlines of today. | :59:19. | :59:22. | |
Super-heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has clinched Great Britain's | :59:22. | :59:27. | |
29th gold medal of these Games it after the Italian appeal from his | :59:27. | :59:33. | |
opponent was rejected. But Welsh boxer Fred Evans had to | :59:33. | :59:39. | |
settle for silver of a comprehensive 79 defeat by his | :59:39. | :59:43. | |
opponent in the welterweight final. The winner was absolutely | :59:43. | :59:52. | |
magnificent. And Stephen Kiprotich became the | :59:52. | :59:58. | |
victor in the men's marathon over the much-fancied Kenyans. | :59:58. | :00:01. | |
The final medal of the Olympic Games is going to be given away in | :00:01. | :00:05. | |
the next half-hour, and Clare Balding is at North Greenwich for | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
the combined event of the women's modern Pentathlon, and Samantha | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
Murray is in a really good position, Clare? Yes, she is. The leader from | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Lithuania is very, very strong, so it would be quite a turnaround for | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
Sam Murray to win this. But what a fantastic way to finish the Games. | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
Remember, the women's Pentathlon only came in in 2000 in Sydney, and | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Britain won gold on that occasion, Stephanie Cook making up bags of | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
time. Then it was a shrewd followed by a run. Now those are combined, | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
and you can see the competitors sorting themselves out. -- it was a | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
shooting event. Sam Moray, eight seconds behind the leaders. They | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
stop to shoot and it is a laser gun and an electronic bleep registered | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
sued. Then they run for a 1,000 metres and then come back to shoot. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
The winner will be the first one to cross the line. Here we go. The | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
:01:32. | :01:43. | ||
shooting range. Shortly, you will see Sam Murray of Great Britain | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
lining up in position number four. And it is all about getting those | :01:48. | :01:58. | |
:01:58. | :02:05. | ||
Yane Marques is out before her. You can see the likes of Murray. She | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
manages to get out of the range. But a good lead already for Yane | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
Marques. What kind of a runner is our current leader? Not the best | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
runner in the field, Yane Marques. Her best time for this event is | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
about one minute slower than the top in this event. So I would | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
expect her to be caught by some of the faster runners. Certainly | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
Murray is a stronger runner, as is Amelie Caze. But she benefited from | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
that shoot. She is building up a commanding lead already. This is a | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
very hilly course. She has run out of the arena in front of us in | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
Greenwich Park and she is on a wave. Don't forget that further down the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
leaderboard was Mhairi of Spence, 14th going into this final combined | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
:03:19. | :03:27. | ||
Asadauskaite chasing up the Hill, trying to catch up with Yane | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Marques. They are out on to the hilly part of the course in | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
Greenwich Park. It will benefit the better runners in the field. The | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
times will be slower than we might be expecting to see because of the | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
nature of the course. That was a glimpse of one of the British girls | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
- that was Mhairi Spence. The final runners are heading out into the | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
firing range. It has become a very different test. Not only is it | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
about running three kilometres as fast as you can, it is about going | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
into the shooting range, keeping your nerve, firing at the targets | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
and getting back out what others around you are coming in. Perhaps | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
your nearest rivals are right next year and not shooting down the | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
targets. Yane Marques comes back into the stadium in front of us. We | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
will be able to see her very shortly. She is followed by Laura | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Asadauskaite. The Lithuanian is making a good time already on Yane | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Marques. Normally I would expect Laura Asadauskaite to shoot better | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
than she had. There was Samantha Murray going past her. Some of the | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
:04:59. | :05:04. | ||
athletes coming through now. The Australian is another one to look | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
out for. Coming into the stadium, Laura Asadauskaite closing up on | :05:11. | :05:21. | |
:05:21. | :05:22. | ||
Yane Marques. Yen Marquette -- Yane Marques had a great shoot. She is | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
back out into the lead. The world number one, the leader in this | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
field. 1000 metres completed. They are coming back in for the second | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
session of shooting now. It is all now about keeping their nerve. | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
Their heart rates will be high. Breathing rates will be higher. | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
They will be used to shooting under these sorts of conditions. Samantha | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
Murray is coming into the shooting range. She will be in position | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
number four. Laura Asadauskaite and back cat as well is Yane Marques. | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
It is a battle between these are two as well. That is more of the | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
issued we would have expected from her. She earned the midst a couple | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
of shots. Sam is a wave from the range and again. We can hear the | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
applause from the crowd. -- at Sam is away from the range again. | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
a nerve-racking end to the modern pentathlon Dave. We got under way | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
it on the fencing and then it was into the swimming pool. Then there | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
riding phase and now the combined man and shoot. It only became part | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
of the Olympics in Beijing when it was a straight run to the line. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
They have had to adapt themselves to this particular discipline and | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
the demands it makes on embodies. Samantha Murray is starting to run | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
up those hills. The British team have been training at altitude in | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
the French Pyrenees. This course should not hold any fears for some | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
and the married. Laura Asadauskaite is starting to take the lead from | :07:20. | :07:30. | |
:07:30. | :07:46. | ||
World Championships in Rome. She was run down on the cause that day | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
by Mhairi Spence. She has had a disappointing day by her standards. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
She really struggled with the horse she was given. We are seeing Laura | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
Asadauskaite now. I think this is our leader and she looks so | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
confident. This is a specialism for her. She became a mother last year. | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
Two years ago. She has the young daughter. She is married to a | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
format modern pentathlon world champion and Olympic silver and | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
bronze medallist. There is Samantha Murray in third place at the moment. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
She has to go into the shooting range one more time and hit those | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
five targets. Britain has a very proud record since it became an | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
:08:52. | :09:00. | ||
Murray as she comes into the stadium. They ran at a little loop | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
of the course. Yane Marques is in second place. Samantha Murray is | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
closing all the time on Yane Marques. She has trained so hard. | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
She is so determined. She really is. She will be giving it her all. Her | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
running has improved immensely. It is a question of her being able to | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
hold it together on the range in the shoot was stabbed here comes | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
:09:38. | :09:39. | ||
the Laura Asadauskaite now. -- in a shoot. This is the final Test. She | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
has one down, two down. She is really hitting these targets | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
absolutely. That is four down. The pressure is on Yane Marques. She | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
has to control her breathing and hit the targets. Samantha Murray is | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
in a shooting range as well. Laura Asadauskaite is leaving the range. | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
She is well out ahead. Yane Marques is struggling with her shoe. | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
Samantha Murray has four down. She has five Dan. She would chase after | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
the Brazilian, Yane Marques. Now it is a race to the line. Samantha | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
Murray is in the silver-medal position at the moment. She is 22 | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
years old. From Nick Clitheroe in Lancashire. She has grown up in the | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
Lancashire countryside. She is so good at this modern pentathlon. | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
Laura Asadauskaite of Lithuania is out in front. She is the leader. It | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
would be astonishing for Samantha Murray to run her down from here. | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
The hills are taking a toll on the legs. Laura Asadauskaite is | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
starting to breed a bit here. Her husband is a former Olympic silver | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
and bronze medallist. Samantha Murray is in second place. Yane | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
Marques is behind her - not that far behind her. Samantha Murray is | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
going down health. She knows where the arena is. It is just to the | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
left. When she re-enters the arena in Greenwich, you will hear the | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
crowd roar her home. There is Laura Asadauskaite, the leader on the | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
final loop of this grassy, hilly course in Greenwich Park. What a | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
wonderful venue this has been at the Olympic Games. She has a | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
massive lead. Up where is Samantha marry? She is out in the | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
countryside. -- Samantha Mario Sepulveda. Laura Asadauskaite, as | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
she comes round, she will take the final loop into the arena. That is | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
the Chinese athlete, further back in the field. That looks like | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
Samantha Murray with Yane Marques behind her. As Laura Asadauskaite | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
makes her way round, she will come into the arena in a few moments, | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
just up the final Hill. Round the course. She enters the arena now, | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
Laura Asadauskaite, of Lithuania. The Olympic champion elect. She | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
will be making her way round the course now. She is already | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
celebrating. Here comes Samantha Murray. She is entering the arena. | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
You will hear the crowd for her in in a few moments. Yane Marques is | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
behind her comeback in the bronze- medal position. The Lithuanian is | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
going to win gold. Samantha Murray is in the stadium now. You can hear | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
the crowd cheering her on. The flags are waiting for her. She is | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
following Laura Asadauskaite around the course. Yane Marques is not | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
that far behind her. Samantha Murray has a silver medal in her | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
sights. She is very close. Laura Asadauskaite crosses the line | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
Ingold medal position. It is still there for Samantha married. She is | :13:27. | :13:36. | |
a true Lancashire lass pulls up -- it is a silver medal for Samantha | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
Murray. After 16 remarkable days of competition, it is a 65th Olympic | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
Madog for Samantha Murray. The tradition of modern pentathlon for | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
British women is continued. Samantha Murray is an Olympic | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
silver medallist. As we watch the other athletes crossing the | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
finishing line, Laura Asadauskaite looks like she has gone for a | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
stroll in the park. Samantha Murray got the bronze medal in the World | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
Championships. She always had it in her mind that an Olympic medal was | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
possible. We're going to seek Mhairi Spence entering the arena | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
:14:36. | :14:37. | ||
shortly. Laura Asadauskaite taking the gold medal. We're going to see | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
Leena Schoneborn as well entering the stadium. She is being applauded | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
across the line by the spectators. A Mhairi Spence, 21st in the | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
Olympic Games was not her target. Samantha Murray, at just 22 years | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
old, is an Olympic silver medallist. Steph Cook, you have held it | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
together so well today. Just tell us was dug you must be so proud | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
that the tradition you started in Sydney has been continued. -- just | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
tell us. For Sam to come and take the silver medal, it was fantastic. | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
She did not have the best start this morning that has put it right. | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
She held it together so well on the shooting range. The pressure must | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
have been immense. In the running, she gave it her off. She overhauled | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
Yane Marques. Laura Asadauskaite, a worthy winner. Just to match left | :15:50. | :15:59. | |
to do to close in on Laura Asadauskaite. -- just too much to | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
do. It takes so much out are the athletes. The sport was founded 100 | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
years ago. The history of British women's modern pentathlon is such a | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
great one. It continues here in London. It is suitable that this | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
most hysterics bought at the Olympic Games - the modern | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
pentathlon - produces the final medallist. Samantha Murray hugs her | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
supporters in the crowd. We can all feel very proud of 22-year-old | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
:16:48. | :16:56. | ||
When she was a teenager she was kicked out of the programme. She | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
was not sure if she wanted to continue. She got advice from a | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
sports psychologist. She found love again for her sport. She dug deeper. | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
She attacked those hills. What fantastic scenes at Greenwich | :17:14. | :17:23. | |
today! I had to say, a gold medal to the crowd. They were sensational. | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
They helped her chase down the leaders, at moving up from 4th to | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
second place. This medal rush for Great Britain, which started with | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
Lizzie Armistead in the road race, now finishing with a fabulous | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
silver medal for Samantha Murray in the modern pentathlon. Four years | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
ago she was working in a cafe, watching the Beijing Olympics on | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
television. Her absolute idol is Steph Cook. She won the first gold | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
in the modern pentathlon. It was the first time they could compete | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
in 2000. Great Britain is the any country to have won medals in the | :18:07. | :18:14. | |
modern pentathlon and every single time. What a gruelling, exciting | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
competition. Having watched the showjumping and then to see then | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
set off as they do, the pressure of standing next to each other to | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
shoot and knowing that the person next to you is getting their | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
targets and setting off again and tried to chase them down and there | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
hills as well, coming in here to run on the surface designed for the | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
dress such horses and show jumpers, quite difficult. It has bring in it. | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
To finish in this arena in Greenwich is so appropriate. A | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
:18:56. | :19:00. | ||
And you can see how things can change so quickly, with | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
Asadauskaite. The whole competition, Murray had a difficult ride and a | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
difficult fence. So things can change through the day? Yes. You | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
are right. What a difficult horse Spence had to ride. Not an awful | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
lot she could do about it. 104 penalty points in the showjumping. | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
I was worried for Sam Murray as well. She had eight seconds off the | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
pace, but, my word, she has come through strongly. I am hoping we | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
will grab a word with her as she comes through before going on to | :19:39. | :19:47. | |
the final medal presentation. It is quite emotional! I might ask you to | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
tap into your favourite moments. But if anybody can grab her, you | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
can! I will be back with you shortly. | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
So, 29 gold medals for Great Britain. It has been Alan pigs that | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
has provided us with countless inspirational moments. -- it has | :20:05. | :20:15. | |

I have dreamt of my entire life! The look at the crowd, every seat | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
is taken and it is filled with Union flags. I am just taken away. | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
Unbelievable! It has just been an amazing experience. Just listening | :21:37. | :21:47. | |
:21:47. | :21:49. | ||
to the crowd. # I am thinking of you, lover. | :21:49. | :21:54. | |

so far across the sea. # It is where I want to be. They | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
have gold! Farah is going to make it two gold medals for Great | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:29. | ||
Britain! What a ride by Trott! # It's where I want to be. I am | :22:29. | :22:39. | |
just shocked. Everybody is supporting me so much. It has just | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
:22:49. | :22:50. | ||
been the most unbelievable Emotional, exhilarating, heart | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
warming. Plenty more of that coming up this evening, I promise you. But | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
Clare has caught up with a final medallist, the silver medallist in | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
the women's modern Pentathlon, Sam Gary Neville stop here is the | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
:23:16. | :23:18. | ||
Finnistere list of London 2012. Sam at Murray. The final silver | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
medallist. I am so pleased. My legs, I kept running, they kept running | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
for me! Up the hills as well. They were so steeple stop and I just | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
kept working so hard. This Games has inspired a generation. Just | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
explain what you have done to get to here? Four years ago, I was | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
still at school. I was training but by no means performing at | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
international level. I went to the University of Bath in September | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
2008 and that is when my coach, Emma, took me up. And since then I | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
have just progressed through the ranks, made the team. And I made it | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
to the Olympic Games. A lot of hard work. So, yeah, if you're goal, | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
anything you want to achieve in life, don't let anybody get in your | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
way because you can do it. Find the path you want in life and stick to | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
wit and achieve it. I am a normal girl. Anybody can do anything they | :24:25. | :24:34. | |
want to do! Auto fantastic message of. Thank you so much to everybody, | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
UK Sport, my coach, all the squad. Everybody at the training village. | :24:42. | :24:51. | |
My family, thank you, everybody. I love you all. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
You are right, Clare for Stockport a grim message. Athletes taking | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
:25:06. | :25:06. | ||
what they have done. -- you are right, Clare, what a great message. | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
What has encapsulated this for you? I think in terms of big messages, a | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
lot of people seeing strong, powerful, competitive swimming | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
through these Games. The message that, if you first don't succeed, | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
:25:31. | :25:38. | ||
try, try again. But also the moment for its, -- for its comedy man U, | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
Chad's dad. --, devalued. He was still hot with the paternal passion | :25:45. | :25:54. | |
of success. The way he reacted to the shots of his son. For me that | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
was a moment you don't get very often he and I think it connected | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
with everybody. And think parents have made me cry more than anybody | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
else, because the pride and joy they get out of seeing their | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
children, knowing what they have done to get to here, it never fails | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
to get the eyes watering ever-so- slightly! But, Clare, you have been | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
at the heart of so many great moments and thank you so much. You | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
will be here tonight with so many unsung heroes, the volunteers. And | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
anybody who has a privileged come to any of the venues, the | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
volunteers have been integral to making this such a successful Games. | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
So you will be getting them on the telly later? Yes. A he it seems | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
quite a long time ago Britain won its first gold medal of the Games. | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
It was Helen Glover and Heather Stanning at Eton Dorney. The | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
regatta was over and they had time on their hands, so they headed into | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
town and Gary Richards caught up with them. And he was influential | :26:56. | :27:06. | |
:27:06. | :27:11. | ||
enough to get them an appointment Olympic champions! They have pumped | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
the air. They shake their heads. Great Britain have the Olympic | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
champions and it could not have gone to two more worthy women. We | :27:24. | :27:34. | |
So, you have not only won Britain's first gold medals of the Olympics | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
but you also get a visit Buckingham Palace. This is so surreal. It has | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
been brilliant! We're going through the front door as well, not the | :27:46. | :27:53. | |
trade entrance. That is incredible. A real honour. It looks slightly | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
different from this side. It is absolutely massive, isn't it? | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
moment, when they put the gold medal around your neck, can you | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
relive that for us? Well, I was crying like a baby and she was | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
singing the national anthem at the top of her lungs! I was | :28:10. | :28:16. | |
concentrating on not breaking down. But we were stood in front of our | :28:16. | :28:22. | |
friends and family, right in front of us, just watching our flag go up | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
as the national anthem played. It was amazing. | :28:27. | :28:37. | |
This is the grand staircase, and, my goodness, it is grand. And this | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
is where you would come if you were visiting a state occasion, a ball, | :28:41. | :28:47. | |
for example. It is beautiful. wouldn't want to be the window- | :28:48. | :28:57. | |
cleaner here! Don't know how you get to it! Your race, you lead from | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
start to finish. That moment, what was it like? As good as you thought | :29:02. | :29:08. | |
it would be? Yes, more. The moment we heard the cheering from the | :29:08. | :29:13. | |
crowds, that is when we knew. It was phenomenal. All did you say to | :29:13. | :29:19. | |
one another at that moment? Can you remember? -- what did you say? | :29:19. | :29:28. | |
said, sorry, because she knocked my sunglasses off my head! I said, it | :29:28. | :29:38. | |
is fine. But I kept saying, we have done it! I was in disbelief. These | :29:38. | :29:41. | |
belonged to Queen Elizabeth and they would have been commissioned | :29:41. | :29:45. | |
for the coronation of Her Majesty the Queen. And they would have been | :29:45. | :29:51. | |
placed in Westminster Abbey. That reminds me of Only Fools and | :29:51. | :29:59. | |
horses! That chandelier! Not a bad fireplace, is it? A chance to think | :29:59. | :30:04. | |
and reflect about what you did. How much have you been doing that? | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
catch pictures of ourselves or secrets on television. -- we catch | :30:09. | :30:15. | |
a. A few quiet moments but not many. A bit of a whirlwind as well. | :30:15. | :30:24. | |
you got a scrapbook? You ice, my parents gave -- yes, my parents | :30:24. | :30:31. | |
gave me one but I think it has overflowed in the last few days! | :30:31. | :30:40. | |
Thank you. And we see your medals? Of course you can. It is really | :30:40. | :30:50. | |
heavy, isn't it? Were crying! as well. A fantastic song. It is | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
the last one I listen to before we went out in the Olympics. I really | :30:54. | :31:02. | |
like it. It was a really uplifting song, for the Queen and the | :31:02. | :31:07. | |
Commonwealth. It gets you in the moment. It gives you a bit of | :31:07. | :31:17. | |
something in the heart. Lots of gold in there! And people will want | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
to keep on having a little look at their medals over the months and | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
weeks ahead. No doubt, there are still celebrating. But there is | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
another side to win in gold when all of hard work has paid off and | :31:30. | :31:36. | |
the moment of triumph has passed. It is sometimes not the fairy-tale | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
ending. The top of an Olympic podium is, in | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
many ways, the ultimate destination in sport. It is the dream of | :31:45. | :31:49. | |
millions and the privilege of just a tiny few. But it begs a question | :31:49. | :31:56. | |
- what does winning gold actually feel like? You imagine life is | :31:56. | :32:05. | |
going to be changed and you are going to be hugely rich and famous. | :32:05. | :32:10. | |
It is. Everybody imagines it is. At a I didn't sleep for weeks. Weeks! | :32:10. | :32:20. | |
:32:20. | :32:26. | ||
Perhaps we do mythologise what it is to win gold. We are seen getting | :32:26. | :32:32. | |
to the top of the podium is like a fairy tale. Is human psychology | :32:32. | :32:39. | |
quite so simple? I remember being chauffeured back in the bus to the | :32:39. | :32:45. | |
athletes village. I did all my press conferences. I was thinking, | :32:45. | :32:51. | |
what are you going to do now? You have done it. What are you going to | :32:51. | :33:01. | |
:33:01. | :33:01. | ||
do now? That made me kind of a bit depressed. Fantastic. We had won. | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
The whole world is moving on. There is another event coming and we have | :33:08. | :33:16. | |
to go. You make no plans after your event finishes. For many sports | :33:16. | :33:23. | |
people, winning gold is not just an occupational ambition, it is a | :33:23. | :33:30. | |
motivation. Coaches demand nothing left -- less. Is it any wonder so | :33:30. | :33:36. | |
many gold medal winners feel an overpowering sense of emptiness? | :33:36. | :33:41. | |
Their entire life is wrapped up in getting this one thing. They | :33:41. | :33:46. | |
believe this will be the answer. They need to get there. The lucky | :33:46. | :33:51. | |
ones get there and find heard it is not. Then they looked in the right | :33:51. | :33:57. | |
place to find satisfaction and happiness. It is not wrapped up in | :33:57. | :34:02. | |
a gold medal. It does not mean all other aspects of your life are set | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
and you are not going to have another problem in life. It is odd | :34:06. | :34:12. | |
for me, having lost my face, to quote the Bible. Without vision, | :34:12. | :34:17. | |
people perish. If you do not have something to lead you on, the | :34:17. | :34:22. | |
journey finishes. Three hours after the race, I was in the Olympic | :34:22. | :34:28. | |
village, on the end of my bed with my Olympic gold medal in my hand. I | :34:28. | :34:36. | |
thought, that is it. I have done it. Winning is undeniably and publicly | :34:36. | :34:42. | |
a highlight. It is as high as you can go up in almost any Olympic | :34:42. | :34:48. | |
sport. Everything else will be down. A sense of anti-climax is not | :34:48. | :34:53. | |
exclusive to sport. National lottery winners have talked about | :34:53. | :34:59. | |
extreme lows after the initial high. Perhaps this is not a bad thing. | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
Maybe a lull hopes -- helps to set someone up for the next challenge, | :35:04. | :35:10. | |
the next summit. Maybe this is the ambition of so many great sports | :35:10. | :35:14. | |
people - that they go for their next gold medal so soon after | :35:14. | :35:20. | |
winning the last one. If you work euphoric for ever, it would be like | :35:20. | :35:25. | |
having the best steak to eat. You pick your best meal but it is a | :35:25. | :35:31. | |
curse to have that for the rest of your life. There is not a set way | :35:31. | :35:38. | |
to react to victory or defeat. We respond differently. If athletes | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
were to force a motion, that is the problem. Except how you feel at | :35:43. | :35:49. | |
that moment. That is OK. If you have never achieved that great | :35:49. | :35:55. | |
level of success, how you know how you feel? At one level, it is | :35:55. | :36:00. | |
obvious that the gold medal is not a panacea for life itself. Just | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
because an athlete is fantastic at sport, does not mean they will have | :36:05. | :36:11. | |
all the answers that lie beyond the field of play. I cannot imagine | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
that I would not have just a little bit of a smile and a good feeling | :36:15. | :36:21. | |
when I think about that moment when I won Olympic gold medal so. Does | :36:21. | :36:27. | |
that make everything else in my life perfect? Absolutely not. | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
of the greatest sportsmen look back with pride on the sending the top | :36:33. | :36:39. | |
of the podium. Many others have expectations that simply cannot be | :36:39. | :36:45. | |
met. If it is not a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, what is? | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
What has been really fascinating in presenting the evening show is | :36:49. | :36:54. | |
seeing some of the medallists coming in to make up almost hours | :36:54. | :37:00. | |
after they have won their medals. For some, it is relief and others, | :37:00. | :37:06. | |
joy. It depends on expectation. Tom Daley yesterday with the smile on | :37:06. | :37:12. | |
his face. Michael Johnson was looking at him. He was speeding off | :37:12. | :37:19. | |
that smile and tapping into his own emotions. -- feeding. It has been a | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
privilege. The Olympic stadium is a hive of activity in preparation for | :37:24. | :37:29. | |
tonight's closing ceremony. None of the bands are rehearsing at the | :37:29. | :37:35. | |
moment. It is a veritable feast of British musical talent over the | :37:35. | :37:40. | |
last 30 years. Outside, the queues are forming. They're getting ready | :37:40. | :37:46. | |
to go in and have the taste of what is to come over the hours ahead. | :37:46. | :37:51. | |
Danny Boyle earned worldwide praise for the unique opening ceremony. | :37:51. | :38:01. | |
:38:01. | :38:03. | ||
The man who followed in that is Kym DA then. -- Gavin. I wanted to | :38:03. | :38:09. | |
create a party. Music in our culture has been an amazing export. | :38:09. | :38:15. | |
I have wanted to create a Symphony of British music. You have an | :38:15. | :38:20. | |
unbeatable choice of music. How do you get that down to a smaller | :38:20. | :38:26. | |
playlist? We started with a list of songs that we thought people were | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
saying. One criteria was I wanted people to synch in the audience and | :38:30. | :38:35. | |
have cameras seeing people sing along because they know the words. | :38:35. | :38:42. | |
It would not be fair to call it a pop concert. It is more than that. | :38:42. | :38:47. | |
We start with an amazing sequence, where we really do bring in | :38:47. | :38:54. | |
probably a most busy cast right at the beginning. We have a London | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
tunes event. Teens which resemble London and say where we are in the | :38:59. | :39:05. | |
world. Then we move on to British music, culture and fashion. | :39:05. | :39:10. | |
opening ceremony went down so well, it was really impressive. How much | :39:10. | :39:15. | |
pressure does that put on you? woke up the following day and | :39:15. | :39:22. | |
thought, it is me next. The pressure was on Dani. No one knew | :39:22. | :39:28. | |
how the Games would go. Everyone was hoping for a great spirit. Of | :39:28. | :39:32. | |
course there was a pressure. The biggest pressure was getting into | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
the stadium when the sport has finished and trying to put | :39:36. | :39:43. | |
something together. I feel the show is very exciting. I am excited | :39:43. | :39:47. | |
watching. It is important to tell viewers that they will enjoy the | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
music but there are important elements coming up after the | :39:50. | :39:55. | |
musical section. It makes the ceremony at a ceremony and what it | :39:55. | :40:01. | |
is. I have always wanted to make sure that we did not try to steam | :40:01. | :40:08. | |
roll those bits. At the end, it is the extinguishing of the flame. I | :40:08. | :40:14. | |
think that was probably one of my starting points. I wanted to make | :40:14. | :40:18. | |
that a really great moment. At the time when I started to create that, | :40:18. | :40:27. | |
I knew what the idea was. This wonderful flame, that is now a | :40:27. | :40:33. | |
fantastic piece of engineering, I thought, that is very exciting. | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
When I saw the idea of the design, I thought you really do need to | :40:38. | :40:43. | |
make this moment. We have created a special moment and his special | :40:43. | :40:49. | |
artist to be part of that. It will be a great show. We will wrap up | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
the rest of today's medal. It is their medals ceremony over in | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
Greenwich for the modern pentathlon. Samantha Murray picked up a | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
fantastic silver medal. She starts to be combined round in 4th place. | :41:05. | :41:12. | |
The let's cross over to Greenwich. It is just fantastic that we have | :41:12. | :41:17. | |
been able to continue the tradition of a medal at every Games since the | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
mid- -- the women's modern pentathlon and was introduced. That | :41:22. | :41:29. | |
is Yane Marques of Brazil, who went into the final event in second | :41:29. | :41:34. | |
place. She had a wonderful shoot. She was not quite strong enough to | :41:34. | :41:44. | |
:41:44. | :41:45. | ||
live with the other athletes in the field. The beautiful setting with | :41:45. | :41:53. | |

Yane Marques takes the bronze medal. Murray. 22 years off. Already a | :42:12. | :42:17. | |
bronze medal in the World Championships at Rome in May. Now | :42:17. | :42:24. | |
she is an Olympic silver medallist. What a collection already at the | :42:24. | :42:30. | |
age of 22! She has worked so hard. The team behind her, we have to | :42:30. | :42:36. | |
give credit to the whole team. The performance of director and coach. | :42:36. | :42:43. | |
People you know very well as well. Gold medallist and the Olympic | :42:44. | :42:51. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds | :43:45. | :44:46. | |
London 2012 Games, a medal ceremony is carried out. A national anthem | :44:46. | :44:55. | |
is played and the athletes take their position on top of the podium. | :44:55. | :45:00. | |
Congratulations to Britain's latest modern pentathlon medallist. The | :45:00. | :45:08. | |
medal run continues with Samantha Murray at London 2012. That was the | :45:08. | :45:14. | |
last Murdoch of the day. The last boxing gold to be given away here | :45:14. | :45:20. | |
was the super heavyweight category. Anthony Joshua had never even laced | :45:20. | :45:30. | |
:45:30. | :45:32. | ||
up a bluff four years ago. Today the winner takes all. -- a bluff. | :45:32. | :45:42. | |
:45:42. | :45:44. | ||
The names go on and on, or in this division. -- all. The opening bell | :45:44. | :45:50. | |
to determine the final gold medal in the Olympic boxing tournament. | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
We're in the super-heavyweight division between the man wearing | :45:54. | :46:01. | |
red representing Italy, the reigning defending her Olympic | :46:01. | :46:07. | |
super-heavyweight champion, against the man in blue colour competing in | :46:07. | :46:13. | |
his first Olympic Games book stub seeded number eight two in the | :46:13. | :46:21. | |
tournament, Anthony Joshua. -- first Olympic Games. Anthony Joshua | :46:21. | :46:28. | |
prevailed securing the most significant victory in the history | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
of British Amateur Boxing en route to his World Championship silver. | :46:32. | :46:41. | |
Style wise, this could be perfect for Anthony Joshua. That punch is | :46:41. | :46:47. | |
very important. Get a few points on the board and get the Italian to | :46:47. | :46:54. | |
come forward. He will come on to the right hand. Mid, at long range | :46:54. | :47:00. | |
boxing and nothing else. A victory over him was at the quarter-final | :47:00. | :47:07. | |
stage in Azerbaijan last year. This is the final bout of the Olympic | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
boxing tournament. It will determine the destination of the | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
Olympic super-heavyweight gold medal. Which go to Great Britain or | :47:15. | :47:25. | |
:47:25. | :47:32. | ||
might have beaten me before, but you will not be me here. But this | :47:32. | :47:42. | |
:47:42. | :47:43. | ||
deepens his belief, his self- confidence. The desire is all there. | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
Could double right hand from Joshua. Snaps the head sideways of Roberto | :47:48. | :47:57. | |
Cammarelle. That's what he has got to do. He has got to throw more | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
jabs and keep the movement going, because that is confusing Roberto | :48:01. | :48:10. | |
Cammarelle. It will make clever bit easier if he comes into it. -- make | :48:10. | :48:18. | |
life a bit easier. And he is using that jab from none other than | :48:18. | :48:24. | |
Lennox Lewis. The champion in Seoul of 1988. Joshua is trying to fight | :48:24. | :48:29. | |
back now but he has been rocked by a quick-fire combination from the | :48:29. | :48:36. | |
reigning Olympic champion, Roberto Cammarelle. Joshua, his work | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
getting a bit ragged towards the final bell at the end of that first | :48:40. | :48:46. | |
round. And perhaps that flurry of success for shots from Roberto | :48:46. | :48:54. | |
Cammarelle was enough to give him a one-point advantage. He leads by 6- | :48:54. | :49:02. | |
5 over Joshua. STUDIO: Well, and he Joshua was | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
behind in the second round as well. We start this at the third. -- | :49:06. | :49:16. | |
:49:16. | :49:26. | ||
and his opponent, Anthony Joshua, just 22 years of age, and this man | :49:26. | :49:31. | |
has made a meteoric rise through the ranks of boxing. And he finds | :49:31. | :49:36. | |
himself competing on the grandest stage of all. Being cheered on by | :49:36. | :49:41. | |
the crowd but he finds himself trailing by three as we enter the | :49:41. | :49:46. | |
third of final-round of what is the biggest fight of his life bar none. | :49:46. | :49:53. | |
And he has got a target now as Roberto Cammarelle comes forward. | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
And that shot into the midriff of Roberto Cammarelle. That is what | :49:57. | :50:03. | |
you should be practising. He has got to work again. Drives Roberto | :50:03. | :50:09. | |
Cammarelle back to the far corner. He tries to bring him back to the | :50:09. | :50:15. | |
centre of the ring. The referee asking both boxers to move away. | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
That work being done at close quarters will favour Roberto | :50:19. | :50:26. | |
Cammarelle. And now the two fight is engaging in a rather untidy | :50:26. | :50:35. | |
exchange, and you suspect this contest is becoming tricky in this | :50:35. | :50:43. | |
final round. Moore left hand success from Joshua. As we passed | :50:43. | :50:47. | |
the halfway mark of this final round. It is important he moves his | :50:47. | :50:51. | |
feet now, Joshua. Because his opponent will be looking to move | :50:51. | :50:57. | |
around the left and side and that gives him the space to punch again. | :50:57. | :51:07. | |
For -- left hand side. We approach the final minute and there of three | :51:07. | :51:13. | |
Olympic champions in attendance today at this excelled centre. In | :51:13. | :51:23. | |
:51:23. | :51:23. | ||
the Docklands. -- at the ExCel Centre. Anthony Joshua is trying to | :51:23. | :51:30. | |
emulate them. But he was trailing by three coming into this third and | :51:30. | :51:37. | |
final round. The boxers are exchanging misses at the moment. | :51:37. | :51:42. | |
has got to work hard on the inside. This is really close now. That is | :51:42. | :51:47. | |
better, though. Roberto Cammarelle appears to be feeling the pace. He | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
has had a difficult tournament and this is a spirited rally from | :51:51. | :51:57. | |
Anthony Joshua. It brings a great response, as you would expect, from | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
a great champion like Roberto Cammarelle. He is the got medleys | :52:01. | :52:06. | |
from Beijing four years ago. And as the closing bell sounds, Anthony | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
Joshua raises his hands immediately because he feels he has done enough | :52:10. | :52:15. | |
to overturn the man in the red corner. Roberto Cammarelle. And | :52:15. | :52:20. | |
prevent him from successfully defending his title. But there is | :52:20. | :52:22. | |
jubilation in the Italian corner because they feel their man has | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
just made history by successfully defending his super-heavyweight | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
gold medal after a really hard fought super-heavyweight final. | :52:30. | :52:40. | |
:52:40. | :52:41. | ||
Yeah. I think he won the last round, Anthony Joshua. It was a better | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
last round for him. A good right hand there with the left. He feels | :52:46. | :52:55. | |
:52:56. | :52:58. | ||
he has done enough. Very, very but just look at the response in | :52:58. | :53:05. | |
the Italian corner. They are dancing. At the end of the round, | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
in recognition of the sterling work he feels his mum produced, Anthony | :53:09. | :53:15. | |
Joshua raised his hands immediately as well. -- he feels his man | :53:15. | :53:25. | |
:53:25. | :53:25. | ||
produced. The decision will be decided by the five judges ringside. | :53:25. | :53:32. | |
And they give the verdict... Ladies and gentlemen, the judges scored it | :53:32. | :53:37. | |
level and 18 points apiece. The winner and the super heavyweight | :53:37. | :53:46. | |
champion, in the blue corner, Anthony Joshua! Anthony Joshua is | :53:46. | :53:50. | |
the Olympic super-heavyweight champion! A wonderful achievement | :53:50. | :53:56. | |
by this 22-year-old from Finchley in North London. He has overturned, | :53:56. | :54:02. | |
once again, the defending Super heavyweight champion. The second | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
victory is enjoyed over Roberto Cammarelle. And what it means is | :54:06. | :54:11. | |
that on the grander stage of all, this powerful young super- | :54:11. | :54:16. | |
heavyweight has just scaled the heights to be crowned the Olympic | :54:16. | :54:25. | |
super-heavyweight champion. -- on the grandest stage of all. This, in | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
celebration, of the crowd who cheered him on to a hard fought | :54:28. | :54:35. | |
victory. STUDIO: Well done, Anthony Joshua. | :54:35. | :54:45. | |
:54:45. | :54:46. | ||
Andy started boxing four years ago. The Italian made an appeal but it | :54:46. | :54:56. | |
:54:56. | :55:00. | ||
was overturned, and that means the 65 medals in total. The United | :55:00. | :55:07. | |
States' top of the lot. China 38 golds. Australia just make the | :55:07. | :55:16. | |
John McEnroe has been an invaluable member of the team here but he has | :55:16. | :55:21. | |
also been doing work for NBC. Arguably one of the biggest | :55:21. | :55:31. | |

characters of this Games, Usain vulnerable again today? Usain Bolt | :55:37. | :55:43. | |
is coming along. It is Tyson Gay. It is Bolt! Usain Bolt explodes and | :55:43. | :55:52. | |
he is still the king of the 100 Una Elvis Presley? He is like the | :55:52. | :55:59. | |
American Bob Marley. -- you know? And every time he turned, everybody | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
took a picture with the cameras. And I saw that in the 200. You have | :56:03. | :56:09. | |
got to be aware of that? Yes. It is funny. Every move you make, | :56:10. | :56:19. | |
:56:20. | :56:27. | ||
Was it like when you won the 200? lot of people were doubting me this | :56:27. | :56:32. | |
season so I was really focused on going out and doing it. One-sided | :56:32. | :56:39. | |
that, I thought, you can stop talking now. -- once I did that. I | :56:39. | :56:47. | |
am a legend. Usain Bolt is second. That is a big | :56:47. | :56:56. | |
win for Yohan Blake. Muhammad Ali had something he called the Roper | :56:56. | :57:02. | |
dope. And that was like at the Jamaican trials for you? T I went | :57:02. | :57:06. | |
there does to qualified and my training partner, Yohan Blake, were | :57:06. | :57:12. | |
cut me up and said, this is the Olympics, you need to get serious. | :57:12. | :57:22. | |
-- he woke me up. I think your idol was Michael Johnson. Michael Phelps | :57:22. | :57:32. | |
:57:32. | :57:34. | ||
was in the mix. So many champions. But you are there? Yes. Definitely. | :57:34. | :57:37. | |
These guys were the greatest in their sport and they have done so | :57:37. | :57:42. | |
many great things over the years, so for me to be mentioned in the | :57:42. | :57:49. | |
same sentence is just amazing. is just a joy, and as we be due | :57:49. | :57:54. | |
farewell, the sport is now over and the Closing Ceremony is almost upon | :57:54. | :58:04. | |
us. -- as we did you farewell. Gemma Gibbons' victory in the judo, | :58:04. | :58:11. | |
and she mouthed to the sky, I love you, mum. The joy of bronze going | :58:11. | :58:16. | |
to Tom Daley as he held his nerve and won one of the closest diving | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
finals. The tears of Chris Hoy, the laughter of Laura Trott. As a | :58:20. | :58:24. | |
nation, we are so proud of our Olympians as they have given all of | :58:24. | :58:30. | |
us so much joy and inspiration. And none of this would have been | :58:30. | :58:35. | |
possible without those thousands of volunteers who have helped us pull | :58:35. | :58:45. | |
