Young, talented, photogenic. Some people! At these Games, no one | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
would begrudge Tom Daley one ounce of success in the Aquatics Centre | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
this afternoon after what he has described as the toughest gear of | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
his life. Can today be his greatest afternoon? We will be live in the | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
Aquatics Centre from 3pm as he and Pete Waterfield compete in the 10 | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
need to synchronised diving. This is what has already come to pass on | :01:40. | :01:50. | |

Hannah Miley and Caitlin McClatchey both booked places in tonight's | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
semi-finals. Michael Phelps reached the same stage in the men's 200m | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
butterfly. Caitlin Grainger -- Kath Grainger and Anna Watkins set a new | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Olympic record to reach the finals of the women's double sculls. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Off Britain's men's fours remain on course to run defend their Olympic | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
title. They eased through their heat to reach Thursdays semi-finals. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
But it was a disappointing morning for British judo. Danny Williams | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
and Sarah Clark lost their belts and are now out of the competition. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
-- bouts. Already a very dramatic morning. This is how the afternoon | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
looks. In a moment will go -- we will grow to Greenwich for the | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
three-day eventing. There's been a great performance by Nicola Wilson | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
:02:49. | :02:58. | ||
Let's start with the eventing. It has been a really tense first | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
couple of days with very little split in the field. Before we go to | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
Greenwich, some of you might find Eventing is an equestrian | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
competition made up of three different elements. Dressage. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Cross-country. And showjumping. Eventing developed as a military | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
exercise designed to reflect the range of challenges horses faced in | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
the army. To win the competition, riders had to accumulate the | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
minimum amount of penalty points. The individual and team | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
competitions take place simultaneously. Riders compete on | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
the same horse in each of the three elements. Teams are made up of five | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
riders with the best three total scores counting towards the team's | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
final total. The medallists in the eventing team competition by | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
decided during the first round of the showjumping. The top 25 | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
competitors proceed to the second round of the showjumping, where the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
medallists in the individual competition are decided. If you | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
:04:19. | :04:20. | ||
would like to get involved in That is the education, now for the | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
entertainment. Yesterday the horses discipline was tested in the | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
dressage, tomorrow at their speed and agility is under the microscope | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
in the jumping, today it is endurance in cross-country. It is | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
one of the tightest Olympic competitions ever with Great | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Britain currently sitting third in the team event, Mary King is the | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
best place British rider in 12th. After Royal Greenwich now a Zara | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
Phillips is riding just after 3pm. It is a wonderful location with | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
views over the Thames and towards St Paul's Cathedral. The | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
competition is so close, any time penalties could be very costly | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
indeed. 10 minutes until Mary is under way so let's join Ian Stark | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
:05:13. | :05:17. | ||
Australia. He was on 45.4. He has already had two lives. He is | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
finding it quite slippery. He nearly fell as he turned into the | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
first water. He had a heart- stopping moment in the second water, | :05:28. | :05:37. | |
but he is now in the Greenwich Para drop. Making nothing of that. He is | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
:05:47. | :05:53. | ||
still clear. How is he on the on the course. Huge crowds | :05:53. | :06:03. | |
:06:03. | :06:06. | ||
supporting the teams. Makes nothing of that water. This is rider number | :06:06. | :06:15. | |
two for Germany. This is the horse that won the big French four-star, | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
a top event. We are hearing of a loose horse in the start terrier. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
Whether that is a faller, we will have to wait and see, or whether it | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
is very close to where the horses are taken for the start and finish. | :06:31. | :06:41. | |
:06:41. | :06:43. | ||
There it is. Is it Sam's course? Sam Griffiths? It might be. He he | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
was just coming to the flat ground at the top when we last saw him. | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
:07:00. | :07:10. | ||
What drama has happened on the Extraordinary that they both had to | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
stop at fence three. It makes you wonder if the line they were | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
planning to ride was feasible. The riders will probably have to go out | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
and have another look. He got away with it, but a bit of a late | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
:07:35. | :07:44. | ||
Burton's time. He had had a stop as well so that would have wasted a | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
lot of time. It is a very good point to see on the course. He the | :07:50. | :08:00. | |
:08:00. | :08:05. | ||
Frenchman now comes to the second there all day so far, dare I say it. | :08:05. | :08:15. | |
:08:15. | :08:31. | ||
He is on 39.8, one of the top leading team, but is also the | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
trainer of the leading Japanese individual rider overnight ever | :08:36. | :08:46. | |
:08:46. | :08:46. | ||
dressage. -- after dressage. Still awaiting news of some Griffiths. I | :08:46. | :08:56. | |
:08:56. | :09:05. | ||
have a feeling it might have been sunlight, there are several dark | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
areas on this course which will make it a little bit more difficult | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
for the horse. Fear anything from that point of view is that the | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
horses have been here for a wig and they have been walking about and | :09:18. | :09:28. | |
:09:28. | :09:38. | ||
getting used to these shadows of up We are running about 15 minutes | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
late. Mary King will come later than scheduled, somewhere after | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
tomb topped -- 2:15pm. The Frenchman is that the most | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
beautiful end of this park. Sumps super rose gardens of there. Some | :09:55. | :10:05. | |
:10:05. | :10:11. | ||
lot of people were wondering if they would get an extra stride in. | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
In fact, the horses are so opened up, if anything they are finding | :10:15. | :10:25. | |
the distance quite short. This is the German. A little bit of a | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
hiccup into the approach of that fence, but he sat a beautifully. | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
The interesting thing, we've not had any news of Sam Moa Griffiths. | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
Frankly, we've got to believe that he has had a fall for topped and | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
:10:53. | :10:54. | ||
that he is out. That is a Bikey Cup for Australia. Do -- a big hiccup | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
:11:04. | :11:13. | ||
Thomsen went round, he added 26 to his score. Correction, 5.2 to his | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
score. We can now confirm that Sam Griffiths has been eliminated. I'm | :11:19. | :11:28. | |
sure that is because of a fall. That is dramatic news. Australia | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
with five here. That round of Christopher Burton's could well be | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
crucial. Sam Griffiths is out and it will be Andrew Hoy and Lucinda - | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
- Clayton Fredericks that Australian fate will depend on. | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
not terribly sure that he is necessarily be up on the clock. It | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
will be interesting when he comes into the arena. He's in a lovely | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
rhythm, but he doesn't it like he's going that fast, but it could be | :11:59. | :12:09. | |
:12:09. | :12:10. | ||
deceptive. Over the East End flour built by Andrew Hunter. He ran the | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
British country... A way goes if a clerk for Ireland. She will not | :12:17. | :12:26. | |
hang about. Just getting fat picture of Australians and | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
Griffiths. He had a fall at fence 21. One of the very simple fences, | :12:32. | :12:42. | |
:12:42. | :12:54. | ||
dare I say. Not dissimilar to the We will get an idea of his time. He | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
was quick enough through the arena. This is the Frenchman finessing. | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
:13:11. | :13:22. | ||
39.6. That includes a refusal. The cool surroundings to of the | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
:13:32. | :13:42. | ||
seconds slower than Christopher Burton been the main arena. He will | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
have to be able to gallop on at the end if he is going to make up that | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
time. I reckon he will be another one with some time penalties. It is | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
not really what the German team were looking for. Peter Thomsen is | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
home safe and dry. They really need to get some horses closer to the | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
:14:11. | :14:12. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds | :14:12. | :15:12. | |
crucial. Sit back and let the horse married to Simon Clark. By she is | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
nicely through. She is 31 years old. The horse is 12 years old. 48.9 | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
dressage. Now back with Dirk. on this great galloping stretch at | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
the top and the horse looks like he has quickened up. It is whether he | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
:15:42. | :15:42. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds | :15:42. | :16:24. | |
has the stamina to keep up the think he is. It was such a great | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
shot of seeing a horse galloping under the trees. It is what cross | :16:28. | :16:37. | |
country is all about. In 2009 in the Europeans and then in the | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
world's in 2010, the Germans had some mistakes on some fairly easy | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
fences. Dirk Schrade playing quite safe, making sure he didn't make a | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
mistake as he now goes to the rose garden and jumps that very well. | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
:17:01. | :17:23. | ||
best performer in the dressage. Owned by the very popular Terry and | :17:23. | :17:33. | |
:17:33. | :17:55. | ||
to go inside the time on this to me if he's going to get some | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
time faults. Although he is making time, he's still got this Saxon | :18:02. | :18:12. | |
:18:12. | :18:19. | ||
Awad has had a fall at fence three and a horse has gone spare. We | :18:19. | :18:29. | |
:18:29. | :18:38. | ||
Germany are beginning to be in a situation where they could be | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
caught. I think you are right. It is putting a huge amount of | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
pressure on the final three rider macros, because they're going to | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
have to come up with the goods and get as near round possible -- as | :18:55. | :19:04. | |
possible. For Ireland, Clark. She was very cautious at that fence | :19:04. | :19:14. | |
:19:14. | :19:29. | ||
their rather than the three. She Christopher Burton, so this looks | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
like a pretty impressive round so far for the Irish team. The time of | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
Christopher Burton is remarkable. There is Bennett-Awad. What | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
:19:53. | :19:54. | ||
disappointment for her. This is a thoroughbred mare out on the course. | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
:20:04. | :20:12. | ||
Sadly, when he scored it will be none braver than this lady. Didn't | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
get a great line there. That's a dangerous thing to do. She was very | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
aware of that offence. She wanted to be straight and let the horse | :20:21. | :20:31. | |
:20:31. | :20:48. | ||
see the step out, and she even we thought was going to be required | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
for this course. There was a test event earlier this year and | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
everyone came away saying they wanted fit, Little, athletic horses | :20:56. | :21:06. | |
:21:06. | :21:06. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds | :21:06. | :22:21. | |
that could be easily controlled. She is delighted. 3.6 penalties. | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
But an exceptional round. That will please the Irish coach. It | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
certainly will. Ireland, who didn't qualify as a team here, they just | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
missed out in the Europeans by a matter of a few points. Not to | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
qualify as a team so they had qualified enough riders, they had | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
to qualify five. As a result, they've got a very competitive team. | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
Certainly as competitive as they had for many years. There is Simon | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Clark alongside her, her husband. He will be delighted. He is a | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
helicopter pilot. He takes famous people all around the country. He | :23:04. | :23:12. | |
took Lord Coe to an Olympic meeting very recently. As you can see, | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
competition delay that the moment for that four of Bennett-Awad. The | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
control of this competition at the start and finish, it is quite a | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
complex affair but it's very well done. The team up there are very | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
experienced, headed by Richard Clapham and others. Richard has | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
controlled two Olympic games prior to this. But it's got to be a good | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
communication system that immediately takes decisions and the | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
appropriate actions to get the right people in the right place, to | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
make sure horse and rider macro are looked after to the very highest | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
possible standard. We don't know how many people are in here but it | :23:59. | :24:09. | |
:24:09. | :24:12. | ||
could well be around the maximum could well be around the maximum | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
A mention their of the 50,000 people all standing around watching | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
the dramatic action, and it was dramatic. Horses having problems, | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
competitors being thrown off and the competition delayed. As soon as | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
it gets going we will let you know. We will be over there because Mary | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
King is going this afternoon and Zara Phillips as well. You can see | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
that with us here later. We are going to get an update on the | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
sailing in a few moments. Before that, just how much of a difference | :24:46. | :24:56. | |
:24:56. | :24:59. | ||
even in the winter, because you met your friends, there was lots of | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
adventures, you could sail to the island or role. It was a great kind | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
of Swallows and Amazons place, we have a lot of fun. I wasn't | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
brilliant at school sport. But with sailing it was different, I | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
instantly found something I loved. I think I was that sort of child | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
that if I found something I really enjoyed, I wanted to get better and | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
better at it. I remember the first time going on the boat on my own, | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
attached with a rope. And then when the rope was eventually taken off, | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
that amazing sense of freedom you get. I couldn't have gone on a bus | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
on my own or a train. I could only cycle round the block where the | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
lift. But there was an incredible responsibility and sense of freedom | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
to sail all by yourself. It's lovely that nothing's really | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
changed. One weekend the club organised proper instruction. They | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
came from the Royal Yachting Association. At the end of that | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
weekend I could steerer boat or by myself. It was a real turning point | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
for me because I suddenly realised, actually, I can do this, I can sail | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
on my own. I don't think I ever really sailed with my dad every | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
game since then. I remember the other end of the Lockerbie miles | :26:25. | :26:33. | |
away. It was like an ocean. Now it's just there. With no money or | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
funding, sport was really different then. No coaching either. It was | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
hard but I knew that I had to dedicate everything to make this | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
:26:52. | :26:55. | ||
Robinson. That smile, doesn't that just say it all! Shirley Robinson | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
has the gold for Great Britain. was incredible. Shirley Robinson, | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
gold medal for Stam I can't really believe it myself. If I watch it | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
now, it's sort of weird it happened to me. What a moment this is for | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
Shirley Robinson. Here we are where I grew up, just a very small family | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
club, this is where it all began. That is a big grin! A very happy | :27:24. | :27:34. | |
:27:34. | :27:51. | ||
Wonderful. Born in Dundee, 32 years later voted as the greatest female | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
sailor in the world. Lets joined Shirley right now, doing what she | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
does best, bobbing up and down on a boat somewhere off the Jurassic | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
Coast for us usually, but today she is looking a bit calmer, she is not | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
out on the water. Shirley, when you are out on the water now watching | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
those boats competing, how do you feel as a double Olympic champion | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
to be watching? You feel their nerves and stress. You know how | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
important it is to them. When they have a tough race it sort of gets | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
too deep inside. You feel the elation when they do well. It means | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
everything to all the competitors at the Olympic Games. I know how | :28:29. | :28:36. | |
much it means to them. A lifetime's work. Lots of empathy. Living and | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
breathing the whole experience with them through the week. Particularly | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
the young sailors out there, do they see you as something of a | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
mother figure in a few ways, do they ask for advice and help about | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
how to approach an Olympic Games from someone who has been there and | :28:51. | :28:57. | |
done it and been so successful? Some do but there's -- they are so | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
much more professional and experience. Take Hannah Mills, | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
she's only 24 but has been racing at the very highest level since she | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
was 10, 11, 12 years old. She's got plenty of experience and doesn't | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
need that much advice from me. Let's talk about what's been | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
happening on the water today. I'm sure there has been a great British | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
contingent cheering them on, because there's been more than just | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
Ben Ainslie looking to defend his title today. It's been hectic. We | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
have to be managing to keep up. Ben has just started his third race. | :29:30. | :29:35. | |
He's got two more races today. He was struggling when I heard last, | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
he hadn't had the best start and was caught up in the pack. The case | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
that he has his incredible downwind speed. So often you see him catch | :29:45. | :29:52. | |
up. First up in the Daily it was the fastest boats here, they fly on | :29:52. | :29:57. | |
top of the water. Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes didn't have the best | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
start. They really struggled in the first race. In the next race they | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
were up among state. They had a bad leg, dropped down to 12. A hard | :30:06. | :30:12. | |
start for them. There -- but in the 49s, they have a lot of races | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
before they get to that final. Plenty more to go. In the Laser | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
class, Paul Goodison looking to class, Paul Goodison looking to | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
defend, how did he do? Pretty good. There are 49 of them, so it's very | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
hard to get your own waves and a bit of freedom to make your own | :30:29. | :30:32. | |
decisions. But he managed to get free of the pack eventually and | :30:32. | :30:37. | |
finished 7th. Everybody is predicting a duel between him and | :30:37. | :30:43. | |
the Australian. He did extremely well, second in the first race. | :30:43. | :30:46. | |
Everyone is expecting that big battle, Australia versus Great | :30:46. | :30:56. | |
:30:56. | :31:02. | ||
going in their third and fourth races. What do you expect from | :31:02. | :31:07. | |
them? They will have fire in their belly. Yesterday a tenth and a | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
photo finish, just got second, pipped by the Brazilians. Everyone | :31:12. | :31:20. | |
is predicting a Clash Of The Titans between these two teams. The breeze | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
is up, a fire in the belly. I think is up, a fire in the belly. I think | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
they will come back with two strong they will come back with two strong | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
results. Or you've already mentioned Ben Ainslie. We can see | :31:29. | :31:35. | |
some pictures of him. How would you rate how he has performed so far? | :31:35. | :31:44. | |
Not just today? Solid. Two second places yesterday. He was beaten by | :31:44. | :31:49. | |
Hogh-Christensen twice. He will be consistent this week. He will be | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
looking for two more solid results. He did not seem that stressed about | :31:53. | :31:59. | |
it yesterday. He was pretty happy with his performance. Today he will | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
just be looking to consolidate on that. In the Finn class, they will | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
do 10 races and then a medal race. A lot of sailing left in Weymouth | :32:07. | :32:12. | |
A lot of sailing left in Weymouth for Ben Ainslie. Consistency is K. | :32:12. | :32:20. | |
Thank you very much. The thank you feel story earlier as well. If you | :32:20. | :32:25. | |
were tuning in expecting to see some equestrian, today is the cross | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
country, in Greenwich. Usually the cross-country takes up such a wide | :32:30. | :32:34. | |
area that they have to perform a long way away from the Olympic Park. | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
But it is happening just a couple of miles from here. But at the | :32:37. | :32:43. | |
moment it is not happening at all. They estimated Bath -- 50,000 | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
people are watching the action, but the competition is suspended at the | :32:47. | :32:53. | |
moment. Let's talk about David Florence and Richie Hamilton. They | :32:53. | :32:58. | |
are going in the C2 doubles. It was their first run today. Let's see | :32:58. | :33:02. | |
their first run today. Let's see how they did in the first heat. | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
A massive cheer has just gone up in this Lee Valley White Water Centre. | :33:08. | :33:15. | |
Union flags are flying high. Fils is the reason why. David Florence | :33:15. | :33:20. | |
partnered by Richard Hounslow. They know this course probably better | :33:20. | :33:26. | |
than a lot of fellow competitors. David qualified for the semi-finals | :33:26. | :33:30. | |
of the C one competition yesterday. Richard Hounslow, the semi-finals | :33:30. | :33:34. | |
of the K1 competition. But how are they going to operate as a | :33:34. | :33:41. | |
partnership? David Florence goes for Great Britain along with his | :33:41. | :33:47. | |
partner Richard Hounslow. They are going for broke. You can see then | :33:47. | :33:57. | |
:33:57. | :33:58. | ||
slide down into the first gate. Quickly accelerating. They have to | :33:58. | :34:06. | |
set it up for 6, 7 and 8. Both incredibly strong men. Both | :34:06. | :34:10. | |
incredibly confident paddlers, albeit at slightly different | :34:10. | :34:16. | |
disciplines. They have come together well in the C2 category. | :34:16. | :34:22. | |
Very strong at the front, David Florence. Complimented superbly by | :34:22. | :34:27. | |
Richard Hounslow at the back. will look to line up their boat | :34:27. | :34:37. | |
:34:37. | :34:38. | ||
into 12. They decided to do has been. A two second penalty. Now | :34:38. | :34:46. | |
they will set up the boat for the next sequence. Pull the nose around | :34:46. | :34:50. | |
and back down. That looked pretty good. Neither of them go off to a | :34:50. | :34:54. | |
good start yesterday, but both of them came through strongly in their | :34:54. | :34:59. | |
second runs. If they get a good run here, the pressure may be off for | :34:59. | :35:05. | |
the second run and they may go even quicker. Four penalty. So far. Two | :35:05. | :35:09. | |
British pairs in this qualifying competition. The second pair come | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
later. That was a touch by David Florence. Six penalty points for | :35:13. | :35:21. | |
Great Britain. One Moorgate to go. They are in nicely. Am for pushing | :35:21. | :35:30. | |
hard all the way to the finish line. 1:0 8.23. 5th place. That would be | :35:30. | :35:34. | |
a qualifying position if that remained the same throughout the | :35:34. | :35:37. | |
competition, but I guess you have to anticipate that some teams will | :35:37. | :35:42. | |
go faster than that on the second run. How would you clarify what has | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
just happened? A slightly nervous start? Perhaps. They found | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
themselves off line on a number of occasions. Richard had to duck into | :35:51. | :35:59. | |
a couple of the gates. I think they will look to go away and check out | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
the video and see how they can fine-tune those errors they made to | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
fine-tune those errors they made to make sure they don't pick up | :36:05. | :36:11. | |
kennels -- more careless penalties. Sitting 5th after the first run. | :36:11. | :36:14. | |
David Florence only just made it to the semi-finals in the C1 and they | :36:14. | :36:19. | |
have their second run a little bit later today. You can see that and | :36:19. | :36:24. | |
plenty of other sport right across the BBC. Was an Lee Valley looking | :36:24. | :36:27. | |
wonderful in the sunshine? Wimbledon is not looking bad either. | :36:27. | :36:32. | |
It is so special to have Wimbledon at the heart of the Olympics. It is | :36:32. | :36:35. | |
so special for Laura Robson to be cheered on by a partisan British | :36:35. | :36:40. | |
crowd. She is taking on Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic. | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
Safarova of the Czech Republic. Laura is leading 6-5 in the first | :36:43. | :36:51. | |
set. But she is now gearing up to receive service from suffer rover. | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
Plenty of action right across the BBC, right across London, right | :36:55. | :37:05. | |
:37:05. | :37:12. | ||
across the country for these 2012 Such a big last game. Laura Robson | :37:12. | :37:17. | |
had been 5-1 up and serving for the set, 30-0 up and served a double | :37:17. | :37:23. | |
and she then lost 10 points in a ride. Pressure is back on the | :37:23. | :37:33. | |
:37:33. | :37:57. | ||
Both players playing well right now. A change from raucous support of | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
the crowd and sudden silence when they are playing. A bit of tension | :38:01. | :38:11. | |
:38:11. | :38:49. | ||
Couldn't put a foot wrong at the start of this match, Robson. A | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
little in and out since. It is starting to frustrate terror little. | :38:54. | :39:04. | |
:39:04. | :39:09. | ||
Robson was just hitting winners all A tie-break to settle this opening | :39:09. | :39:17. | |
set. Terrific resistance from the Safarova. Ranked 23 in the world, | :39:18. | :39:27. | |
against Robson's number 96. Petr Martis chat to pull out injured. | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
Debut Olympics for Robson. I've been thrilled for her and the | :39:31. | :39:36. | |
tremendous support she has had from the crowd. But it also adds | :39:36. | :39:46. | |
:39:46. | :39:48. | ||
pressure on her. This is not your He hopefully it will help her in | :39:48. | :39:58. | |
:39:58. | :40:05. | ||
Page they have never played each There are not that many left- | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
handers around in the game, although there are suddenly a few | :40:08. | :40:11. | |
more left-handers around in the women's game, two lefties playing | :40:11. | :40:21. | |
:40:21. | :40:47. | ||
She had an important point, she had a short ball like that on her serve | :40:47. | :40:52. | |
and missed it. Laura just have to be a little bit more alert to | :40:52. | :41:02. | |
:41:02. | :41:20. | ||
That is the way you take advantage of a short ball. You have to see it | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
coming short and be there in good time. That is what you are looking | :41:24. | :41:33. | |
for as a tennis player, a short A lot of attention on there right | :41:33. | :41:43. | |
:41:43. | :41:57. | ||
Unlucky, so quickly back for that There's a match going on in the | :41:57. | :42:07. | |
:42:07. | :42:35. | ||
She loves going down the line. But it is dangerous. She was the first | :42:35. | :42:41. | |
to blink. That was that if second time we have had a cross-court | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
backhand rally. Both these players love to dominate with swinging for | :42:45. | :42:55. | |
:42:55. | :43:27. | ||
A chance, but missed. Tension grows. An impressive point from Laura | :43:27. | :43:32. | |
Robson with so much pressure on her. She resisted the temptation to go | :43:32. | :43:42. | |
:43:42. | :43:46. | ||
It is a Fed Cup atmosphere. Safarova played in the final of the | :43:46. | :43:56. | |
:43:56. | :44:01. | ||
Fed Cup last year for the Czechs. Safarova has really got herself up | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
to number 23 in the world, she has had some good scalps this year. | :44:06. | :44:16. | |
:44:16. | :44:41. | ||
Always a slow starter, she gets Safarova's turn to be ambitious. | :44:41. | :44:51. | |
:44:51. | :44:56. | ||
She just got a little tense as she hit that ball. A mini-break has now | :44:56. | :45:06. | |
:45:06. | :45:35. | ||
It is long. There's no Hawk-Eye on Fourth double fault for Laura | :45:35. | :45:45. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds | :45:46. | :47:20. | |
The first of seven, tie-breaks. A She's got it. The first set to | :47:20. | :47:30. | |
:47:30. | :47:32. | ||
Great Britain. The home fans Judy Murray with a good round of | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
applause for Laura Robson. Lucy Safarova is about 70 places in the | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
world ranked above her. A great performance from Laura Robson. It | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
is a me the first round and only the first set but even so, a | :47:44. | :47:50. | |
fantastic performance. You can see the rest of that and folding on the | :47:50. | :47:51. | |
the rest of that and folding on the red button. Talking of the red | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
button, that is where you can go if you would like to see some handball | :47:55. | :48:05. | |
:48:05. | :48:13. | ||
Britain 0. We were hoping to bring you this on BBC One but because of | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
the delays in the eventing, we haven't been able to do that. Look | :48:17. | :48:21. | |
at that, Great Britain picking up a point. The perfect time to drop in | :48:21. | :48:26. | |
and see what's happening. That is what is wonderful about the Olympic | :48:26. | :48:36. | |
:48:36. | :48:38. | ||
for one of the riders. It wasn't serious but sadly, as soon as they | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
got under way, someone else fell off, leading to even more of a | :48:42. | :48:46. | |
delay. We can now join them once again for the cross-country. It's | :48:46. | :48:56. | |
:48:56. | :48:59. | ||
up from hereon in it is a nice, round. The fence where everyone | :48:59. | :49:05. | |
today it has gone the short way. But we have had an incident, two | :49:05. | :49:15. | |
:49:15. | :49:33. | ||
Japanese certainly performed above their station in the dressage phase. | :49:33. | :49:39. | |
This is a very quick horse. We have had a couple of courses slip in | :49:39. | :49:44. | |
some of these tight turns. The stunts that the horses had put in a | :49:44. | :49:49. | |
pretty crucial, but that was a good demonstration of that Fens. They | :49:49. | :49:54. | |
are very crucial. He is not hanging around. When I walked into the park | :49:54. | :50:01. | |
this morning just after 8am, the first horse and rider I saw what | :50:01. | :50:07. | |
these two. She looked quite strong. She was towing him around the warm- | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
up area. He certainly set of meaning business. I was glad to see | :50:11. | :50:15. | |
you went the long wait around the fence. Just get it out of the way | :50:15. | :50:25. | |
:50:25. | :50:31. | ||
and let yourself settle into the Lucinda Fredericks, before she was | :50:31. | :50:38. | |
then put on the market. Lucinda was sad to lose the right. She was | :50:38. | :50:48. | |
:50:48. | :50:58. | ||
and qualified. Not easy in the dressage, but it is a horse that | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
looks quite capable at cross country. This is much the biggest | :51:02. | :51:07. | |
test they've ever done. He's having a pretty good ride so far. A bit of | :51:07. | :51:16. | |
a stand-off therefore stop she's So Sharp. I don't think I've ever | :51:16. | :51:20. | |
heard such a vocal or seen such an animated crowd at a three-day event | :51:20. | :51:25. | |
in Britain before. It is fantastic out there. They are loving every | :51:25. | :51:30. | |
second of it. You expect it in America, that is something they are | :51:30. | :51:34. | |
always very good at bear. We haven't perhaps heard it quite so | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
much in Great Britain. 50,000 people here in Greenwich enjoying | :51:38. | :51:43. | |
the weather and the competition. It is all to play for. The Japanese | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
were in 6th place overnight, less than three marks behind Great | :51:48. | :51:58. | |
:51:58. | :51:58. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds | :51:58. | :52:46. | |
Britain. It is exactly where they arena. Mary King is four minutes | :52:46. | :52:51. | |
away from starting. The second rider for Britain. Britain in third | :52:51. | :53:01. | |
:53:01. | :53:14. | ||
Griffiths, he had a fall at fence 21, a very straightforward fence. | :53:14. | :53:18. | |
It is so often the way. You jump all the difficult fences and then | :53:18. | :53:23. | |
you have a silly for at a simple fence. Having said it was simple, | :53:23. | :53:33. | |
:53:33. | :53:36. | ||
one but he's taking the longer route. I would have been concerned | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
if he'd taken at stand-off in the water and tried to turn for the | :53:40. | :53:50. | |
:53:50. | :54:10. | ||
themselves in glory to this moment in time. Everyone has been so | :54:11. | :54:20. | |
:54:21. | :54:32. | ||
and easy as any we've seen so far. Keep going, keep going! There was | :54:32. | :54:38. | |
no stopping there. If they come to a standstill then it can't be | :54:38. | :54:48. | |
:54:48. | :55:15. | ||
months out of his job to come over here and a train at Wellesley Park | :55:16. | :55:25. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds | :55:26. | :56:07. | |
the course. The little horse is ride in the dressage. What can she | :56:07. | :56:11. | |
do now? This is her 15th consecutive championships for Great | :56:11. | :56:21. | |
:56:21. | :56:29. | ||
Britain. She's got a great record. control and accuracy for fence | :56:29. | :56:39. | |
:56:39. | :56:42. | ||
three. It is the offence that has Imperial Cavalier looking strong. | :56:42. | :56:48. | |
Yes, a great line from Mary. She had the line as soon as she came | :56:48. | :56:53. | |
around the corner. The horse had a clear picture of where he was going. | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
The revised times with the stops we've had for our British riders, | :56:57. | :57:07. | |
:57:07. | :57:12. | ||
Zara will be away at 3:45pm. Tina after 3:50pm. Nicola Wilson got | :57:12. | :57:18. | |
Great Britain after a great start. Canary sustain that British | :57:18. | :57:28. | |
:57:28. | :57:32. | ||
challenge? -- Canary -- Hammett Mary? And he's down! He is the | :57:32. | :57:42. | |
:57:42. | :57:55. | ||
was enough to unbalance the horse. There we are, you've got to jump | :57:55. | :58:05. | |
:58:05. | :58:13. | ||
all the 28 fences. But good to see quickly to make sure all is well. | :58:14. | :58:23. | |

cheque time against the first clear inside the time from Christopher | :58:51. | :59:01. | |
:59:01. | :59:29. | ||
run into the ditch there, he is so held. You can see the elbows going! | :59:29. | :59:36. | |
Everything was working there! The horse responded and reacted, which | :59:36. | :59:46. | |
:59:46. | :00:01. | ||
on the course, designated by the control team here. We will see if | :00:01. | :00:06. | |
Mary is going to get stopped. She probably needs to be stopped fairly | :00:06. | :00:14. | |
soon. She comes to that pretty big climb away from the water at 20. | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
They are letting her run. That is good news. Will she keep her line? | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
A good job that brush was there. It is a box hedge. You don't have to | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
jump all of those, they can go through them. That was just as well | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
for Imperial Cavalier. A hairy moment there for Mary King and | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Imperial Cavalier. She's trying to get inside the time. You've got to | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
take a bit of risk. Can she make this turn in the arena? It is tight. | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
She stands off her stride. She is 11 seconds behind Christopher | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
:01:07. | :01:13. | ||
the fitness to run at the top, it is quite possible. Prince Harry and | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are watching in the arena. Imperial | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
Cavalier is getting stronger. very keen and enthusiastic. Mary | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
:01:34. | :01:34. | ||
has got control. Ready for the turn. Nicely over that. That is the sort | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
of control she has at the moment. They're rather flags. Mary is being | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
stopped. She will be able to go up the hill. For horse doesn't look as | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
:02:02. | :02:14. | ||
true professional, Mary King. What happens... That is the royal party | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
:02:25. | :02:27. | ||
with Lord Coe. The Duchess of Cornwall, too. They are all waiting | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
to hear the news, particularly of the British team. Prince William | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
and Krupp -- Prince Harry, they love their polo. They play a lot of | :02:40. | :02:50. | |
:02:50. | :02:57. | ||
The crowd is huge. They really are in a great mood. Just longing to | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
cheer the British riders home. Mary King is on course, but being held, | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
:03:15. | :03:16. | ||
we think as a result of a fall from the young Japanese rider. He fell | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
at fence 23, the cricket ball basket. He caught his knee on the | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
front of the basket. You wonder whether it might have scratched the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
knee. It might have caused an injury which the veterinary team | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
:03:44. | :03:56. | ||
competition is just about to be restarted. On the course is the | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Brazilian doctor. He will be restarted and Mary will be | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
restarted very shortly. She has got the water out of the way. Hopefully | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Imperial Cavalier has got his breath back. He was 11 seconds down | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
in the arena. Can Mary King and Imperial Cavalier get that back? | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
:04:28. | :04:43. | ||
Nicola Wilson certainly did with still clear. Keep it calm, don't | :04:43. | :04:52. | |
get carried away. This is the toughest of the hills. Will it work | :04:52. | :05:02. | |
:05:02. | :05:16. | ||
to none. Her first Olympics was in 1992 in Barcelona. Wow! That is all | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
right! For flag went as well, but my word she's on the edge. She | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
jumped at the right side of the Red Flag. She had to leave the red flag | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
on her right and she jumped definitely the right side of the | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
flag. It is a safety measure for the horse, actually. No penalties | :05:36. | :05:44. | |
incurred, still clear at the moment. We are a bit on edge! Dare I say it, | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
she has got the worst of the terrain behind her. It is a case of | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
:05:59. | :06:02. | ||
jumping fences on the flat. Up we have had a couple of horses take a | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
tumble at the cricket ball basket. It is the question of focusing. She | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
has got the galloping stretch in front of her and Imperial Cavalier | :06:09. | :06:18. | |
is full of running. The cricket basket comes after the garden fence | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
:06:28. | :06:37. | ||
it is one of the more upright fences. You certainly want to give | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
it respect. Two competitors have fallen there. Word will not have | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
gone back to where it -- Mary that this offence caused the problems. | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
But she will be aware that there has already been a fall or earlier. | :06:55. | :07:04. | |
Hopefully she will get ready for it. Mary, 6th consecutive Games. She | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
:07:14. | :07:31. | ||
has been in the British team since Yes, fantastic. Got on the line | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
:07:41. | :07:44. | ||
from way out. Next out, 22-year-old. And very talented young man. He got | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
a very good dressage score, 43.7. Sweden were lying equal fourth | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
behind Britain. A huge question for this young rider. But he is well up | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
:08:08. | :08:10. | ||
to the job. This is the doctor for Brazil at the last. Brazil with | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
:08:20. | :08:20. | ||
just four riders. Josephine is home. 42.8 in the cross-country phase. | :08:20. | :08:29. | |
The Swede at the first water. Winnie the Pooh. He is away. Now | :08:29. | :08:39. | |
:08:39. | :08:52. | ||
Mary King. On this lovely horse, Because she was stopped on the | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
course, she will not have a time. Has she gone quick enough? She is | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
not flying around the last, but she has gone well. His is inside the | :09:03. | :09:13. | |
:09:13. | :09:30. | ||
STUDIO: Emotional scenes with Mary King adding to the fantastic | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
performers by Nicola Wilson earlier. If you would like to see the rest | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
of the cross-country, turnover to BBC Three. On BBC One, it is time | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
to head for the Aquatics Centre. Tom Daley has leapt off the diving | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
board thousands of times in his life, but never before a British | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
crowd in the Olympics. A good job he is already used to the | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
spotlight! Clare Balding is with Leon Taylor. Before we talk about | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
the diving, I bet you had a television with the cross-country | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
on. I did! I was watching Mary King and holding my breath because | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
sometimes it is nerve-racking. I was trying to explain it to Leon. | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
Look at that line-up as well. Prince William, Kate, Prince Harry. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
We had diving royalty here. Leon Taylor knows Pete Waterfield better | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
than anyone. You won a silver medal with him in Athens. He seems to | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
have an aura of incredible calm this. That is so important, | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
especially today. It is a straight final. Six dives and every single | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
one counts. Pete has been there, this is his fourth Olympics. He | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
will be steady and that is what it is about. He is 34 years old, a | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
father of two. Tom competed in his first Olympics at the age of 14. He | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
is now 18, he has grown six inches in height. It is extraordinary to | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
see the footage of Beijing and see how he has grown in stature and | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
class. He is a man today. He is taller than Peter and he is ready | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
to rock and roll. You have to get up to the commentary box. An | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
incredible atmosphere here. Tom and peaked will be 7th to dive out of | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
eight. Thank you. Or lies on Tom and Peter over the next 45 minutes. | :11:25. | :11:35. | |
:11:35. | :11:42. | ||
From a height of 10m, it takes Tom Daley about 1.6 seconds to hit the | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
water. That is not a lot of time to do what he does. He is judged by | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
those who know diving inside out and upside down, at normal speed. | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
But for the rest of us, he has to be slowed down. Only then do all of | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
the twists and turns of his life reveal themselves. There is then a | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
sort of distortion to how we see the world of Tom Daley. From the | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
moment he looked up at the age of seven at that platform high above | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
Central Park pool in Hibs home city of Plymouth until his dad -- and | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
told his dad that he wanted to climb up. Ever since then he has | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
been a prodigy falling gracefully. This wonder child, unable to escape | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
He he began to make an impact in international competition at the | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
age of nine. He was bullied at school. He went to the Beijing | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
Olympics at the age of 14. A spat with his partner in the | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
synchronised event became public knowledge. He became individual | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
:13:05. | :13:14. | ||
world champion at the 2009 World He won individual gold in the | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
Commonwealth Games, plus a gold in the 10m synchronised with Max | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
Britain. Rob, his companion, his driver, his film-maker, his Best | :13:23. | :13:33. | |
:13:33. | :13:34. | ||
Mate, his father, aged 40, died of a brain tumour. This year, Tom won | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
the individual ten-metre platform in the European Championships in | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
Eindhoven. His coach criticised him for overdoing his media and | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
commercial activities. In Mexico he won the last leg of the world | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
series before the Olympics, plus a bronze in the synchronised with | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
Pete Waterfield. But can he beat his arch-rival from China? For | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
twists and turns of being Tom Daley. Perhaps we shall never see him as | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
he truly is at normal speed and we should only worry that he does not | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
go the way of some other child stars and four. Except for link is | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
what he does and perhaps how we see him is no more distorted than how | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
he sees the world, from a handstand on the edge of a platform 10m up | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
there. Perhaps we should simply enjoy young Tom and all that he | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
does while it lasts. I think I was nine when I drew theirs. It is | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
needed doing handstands in the Olympics in London 2012. All 1.6 | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
:14:48. | :14:53. | ||
Nine years after that drawing, it is time to write some Olympic | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
history. A week on Friday Tom and Peter will be competing against | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
each other. But today they are together 14 GB. Look at the crowd | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
inside the aquatics centre. Now live coverage of the ten-metre | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
:15:20. | :15:30. | ||
noise really lifted the roof of the aquatic Centre. What a reception | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
for Pete Waterfield and Tom Daley. And there is great expectancy from | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
the crowd. Leon Taylor, you have been in this position in Athens, | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
what are they expecting today? took to the board to do their final | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
warm-up died and the crowd greeted them with massive applause and | :15:50. | :16:00. | |
:16:00. | :16:17. | ||
is made of tougher stuff than me. Both boys are injury-free, so it is | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
down to this contest, these six dives, and who can hold their | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
nerves. There are potentially seven per us who can be in the medals. On | :16:27. | :16:37. | |
their day, they could be eight. First up it will beat the Russian | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
:16:47. | :16:49. | ||
pair. They will be doing tariff 2.0 dives early on. This will be a back | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
dive with a pike. The scoring system has changed since we last | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
brought diving on the BBC. There are six Execution judges rather | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
than three. We're not quite ready to start. I will explain the judges. | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
The intention is basically to make it even fairer. You will average | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
everything out. The Russians are sorting out what died that they | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
will be doing. Six Execution judges, three for one diver, three for the | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
other. The highest and lowest of Beach judge is taken away. Then we | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
get the synchro judges the to leave you with five scores that carry, | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
multiplied by the degree of difficulty. It is then multiplied | :17:39. | :17:49. | |
:17:49. | :17:49. | ||
by 0.6. You basically get a score that is comparable. It is tipped | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
towards synchronisation. So the better the synchronisation, the | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
better. Execution is important, but synchronisation is keep today. | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
is a hiccup the Russians do not need. They are prepared mentally | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
and physically, and there seems to be a disagreement or a | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
misunderstanding on the opening diver which we have down as a back | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
died with pike. Has the up been confirmed? I am not sure. This is | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
important. It is hard enough opening up your campaign. When you | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
are No 1, there is additional pressure another has been a | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
disruption to proceedings. It looks like we are ready to go. And it is | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
:18:49. | :19:08. | ||
Russians would have been looking for. Not fazed by the delay. | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
Folding at the hips but keeping knees straight. Arms up together | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
and touching the toes. A bit closer to the diving board than they would | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
have liked. Good synchronisation. Looking at hitting the water at the | :19:27. | :19:37. | |
:19:37. | :20:04. | ||
same time. Is solid start at by the is the forward dive in the pipe | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
position. Keeping legs nice and straight. The judges do not get to | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
see the replay, but that is what you were looking at four good | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
synchronisation. Exactly the same time hitting the water. You can see | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
the diver's spreading their arms out as they hit the water. There is | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
a 10, but it won't count. All the marks with a line through them to | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
do not score. Now to the most consistent per in Europe in recent | :20:41. | :20:51. | |
:20:51. | :21:17. | ||
teams won't be giving a lot away. Look at that camera angle. Nearly | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
40 miles an hour impact speed. A steady start from what you would | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
:21:34. | :22:04. | ||
expect. The first two rounds will Spinning forwards towards the | :22:04. | :22:14. | |
:22:14. | :22:27. | ||
from the judges as one hit the water before the other. Coaches | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
always seem to like it. You never see a negative reaction. Here are | :22:34. | :22:44. | |
:22:44. | :22:44. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds | :22:44. | :23:27. | |
We will be seeing more moves that we have not seen before at an | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
Olympic games, but this is their easiest one. Synchronisation was OK | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
in terms with their entry into the water. Lowest marks so far for the | :23:38. | :23:48. | |
:23:48. | :24:26. | ||
you can tell, and very solid die from the Cubans. Guess who is up | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
next? This contest has given a high-class start from all of the | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
divers so far. The big question now as we wait for Tom Daley and Pete | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
Waterfield, what effect will the crowd have on the judge's scores? | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
Surely the crowd will have some kind of influence over the outcome. | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
:25:00. | :25:07. | ||
Best to get the first dive out of Super synchronisation and the crowd | :25:07. | :25:17. | |
:25:17. | :25:18. | ||
like it. They have been training well and they are both injury free. | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
The crowd are loving it, let's see what the judges think. Come on, | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
let's go with them. This is their day today. Super slow-motion. | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
Bracing themselves for the impact. What an amazing piece of footage. | :25:36. | :25:46. | |
:25:46. | :25:46. | ||
Some amazing marks coming your way. 9.5 on the right, and 9.5 on the | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
:25:56. | :26:13. | ||
left put Great Britain in equal see anything but a very good here. | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
The top divers have been selected from the European Championships a | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
few months ago. You can see the strapping on many of the diver left | :26:25. | :26:35. | |
:26:35. | :26:37. | ||
on the screen. I think Barbour is our top of the pile. -- Barbour is. | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
This is what you will see at the top of the table. China and Great | :26:43. | :26:52. | |
Britain first round completed. Then come the USA. It is early days yet | :26:52. | :27:02. | |
:27:02. | :27:06. | ||
with another round of 2.0 tariffs. Then it is the big boys. The | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
women's competition has five rounds, the men's competition had six | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
rounds. I don't think it will be lacking in noise this afternoon in | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
the aquatic centre. Everybody is expectant. They won't have to wait | :27:22. | :27:32. | |
:27:32. | :27:36. | ||
quite as long for the second round died. -- dive. Forward 1.5 | :27:36. | :27:46. | |
:27:46. | :27:46. | ||
somersaults with pike. More like it from the Russians. Maybe the delay | :27:46. | :27:55. | |
before their first dive put them further down the pack than they | :27:55. | :28:02. | |
would have liked. Entering the water in perfect alignment. They | :28:02. | :28:12. | |
:28:12. | :28:16. | ||
were throwing up a little bit of splash. I should be a judge. Decent | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
marks for the Russians. I imagine it will be more than decent that | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
China. But there is a bit of pressure on them in the early | :28:24. | :28:34. | |
:28:34. | :28:43. | ||
support for Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield. They are just doing | :28:43. | :28:52. | |
their thing. They are only young, 17 and 18. Younger than Tom Daley. | :28:52. | :29:02. | |
:29:02. | :29:26. | ||
Look at the entry into the water. at the Olympics in Beijing. In | :29:26. | :29:36. | |
:29:36. | :29:43. | ||
would dive with pike. -- in would dive. Just positions from the | :29:43. | :29:49. | |
Germans. Notorious for their consistency and it earned them a | :29:49. | :29:55. | |
silver medal four years ago. However, my people on the ground | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
saying training they have been struggling with some of their | :29:59. | :30:09. | |
:30:09. | :30:20. | ||
optional dives. But that basic guys womb, the way the water holds you. | :30:20. | :30:26. | |
The Germans in the second position for the time being. This pair, on | :30:26. | :30:35. | |
the day, can be red hot. Nick McCrory and David Boudia -- | :30:35. | :30:45. | |
:30:45. | :31:01. | ||
will let you know how they take-off at the same time, it is one, two, | :31:01. | :31:10. | |
three, go. It is not telepathy. They look a little shaky, this pair. | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
They are well in contention. Anything over 53 or 54 is a really | :31:14. | :31:21. | |
good dive. The American coach is easily pleased. We are in for a | :31:22. | :31:31. | |
:31:32. | :31:35. | ||
high-scoring final. 54 Fall USA. -- for USA. At the back of the pack, | :31:35. | :31:41. | |
looking to repair that damage, are the Mexican pair of German Sanchez | :31:41. | :31:51. | |
:31:51. | :32:02. | ||
Sanchez and even Garcia Navarro. -- the first dive they were different | :32:02. | :32:06. | |
distances from the diving board. You can see the beauty and | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
precision displayed by some of the other athletes, the other pairs. | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
They are a little bit scruffy but they will really come into their | :32:13. | :32:18. | |
own when they come into the optional dive. A much better dive | :32:18. | :32:25. | |
from them. Could do with your arms being straight there, make yourself | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
look a little bit more a aesthetically pleasing. Didn't | :32:30. | :32:38. | |
really catch the judge's eye. They have not really made up a great | :32:38. | :32:47. | |
deal so far. The Cuban pair of Jose Antonio Querrey and Jeinkler | :32:47. | :32:57. | |
:32:57. | :32:59. | ||
Aguirre. Interesting choice of dive. Not quite sure whether they were | :32:59. | :33:06. | |
electing for the top position. That was a solid dive from the Keepin | :33:06. | :33:15. | |
pair. Beautiful entry into the water. The execution marks will | :33:15. | :33:25. | |
:33:25. | :33:29. | ||
certainly be nine for Joe's day. -- Jose. Spot on the money as ever, | :33:29. | :33:36. | |
for Mr Leon Taylor. These two are quite popular. Might take a while | :33:36. | :33:40. | |
to compose themselves. Must be quite daunting with the noise being | :33:40. | :33:44. | |
generated, virtually at capacity here in the Aquatics Centre in | :33:45. | :33:52. | |
London. Reverse dive with pike, Daley and Waterfield, died number | :33:52. | :34:01. | |
two. Here we go. This is how it is going to be. These are going to | :34:01. | :34:05. | |
keep putting the pressure on the Chinese. Perfect synchronisation, | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
let's take a look, jumping away from the diving board, touching | :34:09. | :34:15. | |
toes, looking back, our movement in perfect time. Come on, judges. The | :34:15. | :34:20. | |
crowd on their feet. This is only round two. Wait until we get into | :34:20. | :34:25. | |
this competition. There is Pete Waterfield's dad, he likes it and I | :34:25. | :34:35. | |
:34:35. | :34:37. | ||
certainly like it too. That means, Great Britain are into the lead, | :34:37. | :34:47. | |
:34:47. | :35:00. | ||
they are ahead of China by eight that Ukraine at feeling the | :35:00. | :35:08. | |
occasion, different distances from the diving board. There are nice | :35:08. | :35:11. | |
safe distance from the diving board. One of them a little bit safer from | :35:11. | :35:21. | |
:35:21. | :35:21. | ||
the other. His injury doesn't seem to be affecting his jump. Amazing | :35:21. | :35:30. | |
power generated from their small framed. -- frames. The entries were | :35:30. | :35:40. | |
:35:40. | :35:41. | ||
not quite in sync. Here is the scoreboard for the crowd. There is | :35:41. | :35:47. | |
no point me holding it back. You will see what they are seeing, | :35:47. | :35:51. | |
after it you create any -- Ukrainians leave the water, Great | :35:51. | :35:58. | |
Britain at the top of the standings. We haven't really begun at the | :35:58. | :36:02. | |
competition yet. That is the starter, here comes the four-course | :36:02. | :36:12. | |
:36:12. | :36:17. | ||
exactly where our boys want to be. I wasn't expecting them to be in | :36:17. | :36:21. | |
the lead, the Chinese not looking as good as they have done in | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
training. This is where the real competition starts, the optional | :36:25. | :36:35. | |
:36:35. | :36:40. | ||
died us. -- died us. -- dives. In would be three and half, the | :36:40. | :36:49. | |
Russian pair of Zakharov and Minibaev. You can really see the | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
difference, from the most basic dives in the world, straight into | :36:53. | :37:00. | |
the most complicated. Superb synchronisation. The judges did get | :37:00. | :37:05. | |
to see the replay, but we do. Pretty close to the diving board, | :37:05. | :37:10. | |
Zakharov, closest to us, not very pleasant. I am not sure if the | :37:10. | :37:15. | |
judges will take off any marks. I know a lot of you jump backwards | :37:15. | :37:25. | |
:37:25. | :37:36. | ||
aghast but that is OK. That looked any kind of pressure with their | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
back to a half somersaults, one- and-a-half twist in the pipe | :37:40. | :37:50. | |
:37:50. | :38:00. | ||
The coaches like it. If they like it, it is really really good. I | :38:00. | :38:10. | |
:38:10. | :38:18. | ||
will not be surprised if we see some 10 ofs on this. -- 10s. It is | :38:18. | :38:24. | |
only 3.2 degree of difficulty. They are laying down the pressure on | :38:24. | :38:31. | |
everybody else. There is a 10 in there but that will not count. They | :38:31. | :38:36. | |
are not going for a big tariff dive, they are leaving it to the likes of | :38:36. | :38:44. | |
Mexico and Great Britain later on. Hausding and Klein go for a back to | :38:44. | :38:54. | |
and a half somersaults, one-and-a- half twist. A tremendous effort, | :38:54. | :39:00. | |
they did all the hard worker, the all-important entry has let them | :39:00. | :39:10. | |
:39:10. | :39:12. | ||
down slightly. Beautiful, into the pike shape, all looking good. A bit | :39:12. | :39:21. | |
of Splash, probably only eight before the execution. They are very | :39:21. | :39:28. | |
much in with a shout. Maybe not quite as high as they would have | :39:28. | :39:37. | |
hoped for. They are in second place behind China. It almost seems like | :39:37. | :39:47. | |
:39:47. | :39:49. | ||
there is a brawl when people look at the scoresheet. -- roar. Three- | :39:49. | :39:59. | |
and a-half somersaults, but Harris is 3.2 -- the tariff. Interesting, | :39:59. | :40:08. | |
very interesting. Like the German pair, he didn't really like it. | :40:08. | :40:17. | |
Multiple Olympic champion himself. Good all the way, David Boudia, | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
furthest from us, that is too much splash. I have seen them died | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
better. They are feeling the pressure, the nerves of getting | :40:25. | :40:35. | |
:40:35. | :40:46. | ||
up into the big numbers. 3.7. The highest tariff we have seen so far | :40:46. | :40:53. | |
but not a highest we will see. Forward four-and-a-half somersault | :40:53. | :41:03. | |
:41:03. | :41:09. | ||
with tuck. This is tricky. Stand by for some splash on this one. It is | :41:09. | :41:15. | |
impressive. You can hear the cry to hold their breath as they take off. | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
Our boys will be using this as are most of the teams. The Mexicans | :41:20. | :41:28. | |
have done well on this. Let's count no somersaults, 1, 2, 3, 4, half, | :41:28. | :41:38. | |
:41:38. | :41:38. | ||
slightly faltering as their way -- as they went in on the entry. If | :41:38. | :41:42. | |
they were going to know what all, that might have been the one, but | :41:42. | :41:51. | |
they are still in it. Slight difference in their entry times. I | :41:52. | :42:01. | |
:42:02. | :42:19. | ||
Grayrigg, -- wearer. -- Guerra. There is a difference in distance | :42:19. | :42:29. | |
:42:29. | :42:30. | ||
from the diving board. You can see this been at speeds are the tame -- | :42:30. | :42:40. | |
:42:40. | :42:51. | ||
decent marks, 81.60. Doesn't really do much in terms of moving up the | :42:51. | :43:01. | |
:43:01. | :43:03. | ||
table. He might this be? -- who might this be? A certain Thomas | :43:03. | :43:13. | |
:43:13. | :43:27. | ||
Daily, -- Tom Daley, and Pete they were looking for, this is the | :43:28. | :43:33. | |
one I was unsure of. David Cameron next to Andy and there, they like | :43:33. | :43:43. | |
:43:43. | :43:44. | ||
it. -- Hunt. That has got to be 9.5 on synchro, they have been working | :43:44. | :43:54. | |
:43:54. | :44:08. | ||
so hard. Come on. I have just gone 91.08. The 10 will not count. Big | :44:08. | :44:18. | |
:44:18. | :44:29. | ||
smile on his face. They are back in caused because of fog -- gosh | :44:29. | :44:39. | |
:44:39. | :45:11. | ||
the synchronisation is good. It will give them a good total. | :45:11. | :45:18. | |
level here has raged to fever pitch. At the top of the table, not much | :45:18. | :45:25. | |
at this stage, but at half day -- halfway, Tom Daley and Pete | :45:25. | :45:35. | |
:45:35. | :45:57. | ||
Waterfield lead. Look how tight it the bigger tariff dives. | :45:57. | :46:07. | |
:46:07. | :46:08. | ||
Russians. They reversed 3.5 somersaults quick talk. 3.3 is the | :46:08. | :46:17. | |
degree of difficulty. It is a brilliant dive for the Russians. | :46:17. | :46:22. | |
The reverse is incredibly dangerous. You are standing forwards on the | :46:22. | :46:27. | |
end of the diving board. You jumper away and then spin backwards | :46:27. | :46:33. | |
towards the diving board. They were slightly different on spinning | :46:33. | :46:41. | |
speed, but entry into the water was good. They might be a little bit | :46:41. | :46:51. | |
:46:51. | :47:03. | ||
behind the game this side. Marks want to get into this pretty | :47:03. | :47:13. | |
quickly by the looks of things. QC me, and now you don't! The all | :47:13. | :47:20. | |
important entry into the water. Support from the rest of their | :47:20. | :47:29. | |
team-mates. -- now you see me, and now you don't. Entry into the water | :47:29. | :47:36. | |
was spot on. I think it will be over 90 points for stomp and they | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
are laying down the gauntlet for Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield to | :47:40. | :47:50. | |
:47:50. | :47:58. | ||
catch up. 93.6 is a very good score indeed. Everyone knows how tough | :47:58. | :48:06. | |
and could this competition is turning out to beat. The Germans | :48:06. | :48:16. | |
:48:16. | :48:23. | ||
were second place in Beijing. high risk. Shaking off the hands | :48:23. | :48:31. | |
means a bogey dive. 3.6, back 3.5 in the folding position. Low into | :48:31. | :48:38. | |
the water. Arching into the water. Will suffer a bit with the | :48:38. | :48:48. | |
:48:48. | :48:58. | ||
too bad. But the standard of competition, if you are not getting | :48:58. | :49:03. | |
eight or nine, you are not in the mix for a medal. That is how high | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
the standard is today. 4.5 somersaults in the forward position | :49:08. | :49:17. | |
for the Americans. They have done it. This is the risky one. This is | :49:17. | :49:23. | |
the one great Britain has coming up. The American guys in perfect | :49:23. | :49:32. | |
synchro. They should be pleased with that. If that gets them over | :49:32. | :49:38. | |
90, it is worth the risk. Into the water. Good entry from both of them | :49:38. | :49:42. | |
and their team mates agreed. It might bring them back up the field | :49:42. | :49:51. | |
a little bit. They are just behind China, 11 marks behind China. This | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
is a dive you wouldn't believe it when you see it. If it comes off, | :49:56. | :50:04. | |
and I have not seen it come off get, it will be spectacular. It is a 4.1 | :50:04. | :50:11. | |
tariff. It is off the Richter scale when it comes to diving in would. | :50:11. | :50:18. | |
You think it is impossible, and it might be. As ever, they will give | :50:18. | :50:28. | |
:50:28. | :50:49. | ||
it a go. If it comes off, watch synchronisation is spot on. I am | :50:49. | :50:57. | |
taken aback. It is an incredible effort. There synchronisation is | :50:57. | :51:03. | |
good. 4.5 somersaults. It is extraordinary any human being can | :51:03. | :51:09. | |
do this and let alone that are well. Maybe they will get a 6.5 and seven | :51:09. | :51:17. | |
for execution. If they get close to 100 points, it is job done. Biggest | :51:17. | :51:27. | |
:51:27. | :51:27. | ||
mark of the competition so far. 95.94, we have not seen them do it | :51:27. | :51:33. | |
as good as that ever before on BBC Television's. Now the Cubans have | :51:33. | :51:43. | |
:51:43. | :51:52. | ||
opted for the fourth round died. -- the water was awful from what a | :51:52. | :52:02. | |
:52:02. | :52:04. | ||
week are used to. Smacked his head. Look at the splash from the diver | :52:04. | :52:14. | |
:52:14. | :52:16. | ||
furthest away from us. Synchronisation solid. Solid is not | :52:16. | :52:26. | |
:52:26. | :52:28. | ||
going to get the medal. They are down in 6th place. Well, so far, so | :52:28. | :52:38. | |
:52:38. | :52:40. | ||
good for Tom Daley and Pete big margin between Great Britain | :52:40. | :52:50. | |
:52:50. | :53:00. | ||
died. This is how tricky it is. You can see by the expression on their | :53:00. | :53:07. | |
faces that neither diver did what they normally do on this. Peter was | :53:07. | :53:12. | |
a little bit late, Tom was a little bit early. The execution was off. | :53:13. | :53:19. | |
That will put them down into the middle of the pack. There is still | :53:19. | :53:24. | |
time to fight, but the Chinese will be ahead already. Tom Daley going | :53:24. | :53:30. | |
off to have a little think. That is not the score they wanted. First | :53:30. | :53:34. | |
time they have missed their dive and they have missed it quite | :53:34. | :53:44. | |
:53:44. | :53:45. | ||
spectacularly in this round. Still time to make it up. The very basic | :53:45. | :53:52. | |
forward 3.5 somersaults in the pipe position. This is low risk, but no | :53:52. | :54:01. | |
degree of difficulty. Squeezing into their legs. No daylight in | :54:01. | :54:07. | |
between. It is a good dive but they won't feature. Mid-70s I would | :54:07. | :54:16. | |
imagine for that dive. Such a beautiful pool isn't it? We cannot | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
dismount anybody. But it won't beat the Ukraine's day. And they are | :54:22. | :54:28. | |
down at the bottom. Just over 30 points separate first place to the | :54:28. | :54:38. | |
:54:38. | :54:44. | ||
bottom at the end of the fourth cannot bring you the standings | :54:44. | :54:49. | |
after that round. We can tell you it is China from Mexico, from USA | :54:49. | :54:59. | |
:54:59. | :55:28. | ||
big dive. Very well executed. Squeezing into the 2.5 twists. Get | :55:28. | :55:33. | |
them out a way and then into the somersaults and into the water. | :55:33. | :55:38. | |
That will keep the Russians in contention. Moving towards each | :55:38. | :55:42. | |
other as they were going down them, I don't recommend holding hands | :55:42. | :55:51. | |
going down. Not to be advised. 88 point 56, sounds like a radio | :55:51. | :55:58. | |
frequency. That is the Russians almost done. One more dive. China, | :55:58. | :56:08. | |
:56:08. | :56:16. | ||
back in pole position, where we it is not a big mistake. | :56:16. | :56:22. | |
Synchronisation in complete it Unison, it was spot on. Into the | :56:22. | :56:29. | |
shape. We have seen other divers and make a bit of a mess of this. | :56:29. | :56:34. | |
The Chinese have a little wobble on it. Execution a little bit off, but | :56:34. | :56:44. | |
:56:44. | :56:53. | ||
it is certainly not going to impact China. Now, the Germans. The last | :56:53. | :57:02. | |
round did not go very well for them. They have gone down to a 3.3. But | :57:02. | :57:07. | |
they do have a three-point 60 finish off their programme. | :57:07. | :57:12. | |
Germans trying to get themselves back in it, they have not made a | :57:12. | :57:17. | |
big mistake yet. This one, they would have wanted this a little bit | :57:17. | :57:23. | |
sharper. Meaning they would have wanted a clean entry into the water. | :57:23. | :57:30. | |
That will get an eight Execution, probably a 0.5 the synchronisation. | :57:30. | :57:40. | |
:57:40. | :57:43. | ||
Slightly different entry times into the water. -- 8.54 stop come on, | :57:43. | :57:49. | |
give us the total. 84.15, is the total before it appears on the | :57:49. | :57:59. | |
:57:59. | :58:11. | ||
somersault. 3.5 degree of difficulty. The Americans are still | :58:11. | :58:16. | |
in the hunt. Inspired by the goals yesterday in a three-metre | :58:16. | :58:26. | |
:58:26. | :58:44. | ||
Second place is certainly in the mix and bake on 19 points behind | :58:44. | :58:51. | |
China. As we watch the Mexican has go for, not a big dive compared to | :58:51. | :58:59. | |
their 4.1, but nonetheless it is another difficult programme. On the | :58:59. | :59:03. | |
day, if they get everything right that they will win this competition. | :59:03. | :59:13. | |
:59:13. | :59:15. | ||
But it certainly won't be today. 3.3 difficulty. Sanchez and Garcia | :59:15. | :59:25. | |
:59:25. | :59:53. | ||
That is what they needed to do because that is a spectacular dive | :59:53. | :00:00. | |
from the Mexican has. This just doesn't go so well in training. | :00:00. | :00:04. | |
These are my dark horses for a medal. And that it will get over 90 | :00:04. | :00:10. | |
points. This is the weakest one in their programme. They took ages to | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
get off, but when they did! What a dive. Where are you going? Health | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
and safety report from the Mexicans. Definitely in contention. They are | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
:00:39. | :00:55. | ||
to let the other competitors get a wave. Dive after dive, are all | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
about consistency. Squeezing in a nice and tight. This will get | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
:01:13. | :01:19. | ||
would be, world class. This has to be the best 10m synchro we have | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
:01:29. | :01:30. | ||
ever seen. Look at these marks. Now, they have to put their fourth-round | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
a dive behind them and think about the big one. This is the big one. | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
:01:47. | :01:54. | ||
better execution. Not quite sure what is happening. You can see, | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
just from the body language, not quite as police. Forward for 0.5, | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
:02:09. | :02:13. | ||
all looks good, -- 4.5. I am not sure what the judges will make of | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
it, it needs to be above 90. It is very good, I just wanted it to be | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
:02:28. | :02:29. | ||
better. Earth 4th place at the moment. If they are six points | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
:02:39. | :02:51. | ||
Probably not knocking on the metal door at the end of this competition. | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
:03:01. | :03:06. | ||
doing. Ukrainian coaches sharing their delight. They have been | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
consistent. They are there to pray on the pairs that make mistakes. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
Nobody is really faltering. I think that is probably a little bit close | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
to the diving board. Everything is safe. So dangerous, spinning | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
forward towards the diving board. A solid synchro dive. That would be | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
some way to have a pedicure. You can say if we now say Ukraine will | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
not be getting a medal today. The end of round five. This is how it | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
looks. Look at the differential. It is not a great differential, China, | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
Mexico, USA in the medals at the moment. Daley and Waterfield to | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
make up seven points. Germany still mathematically in with a chance. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Great Britain will have to have a superb last dive to overcome the | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
:04:22. | :04:23. | ||
USA. You would think China would take the gold. Final round. Of the | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
men's synchronised ten-metre platform final effort from Zakharov | :04:29. | :04:39. | |
:04:39. | :04:41. | ||
and Minibaev. He it is the big one to finish, a little bit off. They | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
have just loaded their list of dives with this big one to finish, | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
it is the make or break died. I don't think it will be good enough | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
:04:59. | :05:08. | ||
for a medal. If the dives are OK. Maybe seven 7.5. -- 77.5. Actually | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
16 points better than Daley and Waterfield achieved in theirs. But | :05:11. | :05:21. | |
:05:21. | :05:36. | ||
medallists? Finishing off the Chinese programme. We will note in | :05:36. | :05:45. | |
10 seconds whether this will be gold. That looks like it to me, | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
gold medal number two for China. Six pairs to go but we believe they | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
:06:00. | :06:00. | ||
have acquired for -- they have that kind of quality. Slight over | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
rotation from both divers on the end but the synchronisation, as on | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
although dives, is bang on. I have seen them dive better but that is | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
why they are Olympic champions. Not even diving at their best they are | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
head and shoulders above the rest, look at that. 99.36. We haven't | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
seen 100 yet. Will we do it before the end of the competition? Not for | :06:23. | :06:33. | |
:06:33. | :06:40. | ||
the Chinese today. I think there probably will be enough. The silver | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
and bronze are still up for grabs. These two have slightly | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
underperformed today. Patrick Hausding and Sascha Klein. It has | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
got to be a monumental last dive, it has got a big parrot attached to | :06:55. | :07:04. | |
it. -- tariff. They have got to race at the scoreboard and get this | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
right. That is more like it. Just putting the pressure on the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
remaining competitors still to go. You will see this dive quite often | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
now. The Americans will use it. So will our boys. A little bit of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
their game on some of the earlier dives. Just putting them out of | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
contention. I did think this will be good enough for a medal, but | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
didn't have to put pressure on those still to dive. That is | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
fantastic synchronisation. Let's see what the judges think. We are | :07:38. | :07:48. | |
:07:48. | :07:52. | ||
awaiting their input. They are in third place at the moment. If | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
everybody else falters they will get a bronze. You can tell by the | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
faces of the divers they are not really convinced. USA are currently | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
in the medals, in third position. Nick McCrory and David Boudia. You | :08:11. | :08:21. | |
:08:21. | :08:41. | ||
have seen this dive before. We can the Americans. Very consistent | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
throughout today. That is a dive they needed to finish on. They have | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
got a six points lead on our boys. Execution from both divers is | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
superb. Synchronisation, it is bang on, he really likes it, that is the | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
US coach. Let's see what the judges think. This will be hard to catch. | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
I think they will get 95. Which means, we know what that means, | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
pretty much the British pair have to get a ton and that will take | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
some doing. It is not impossible. We were just hold our breaths for | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
:09:35. | :09:36. | ||
the time being as we watch German Sanchez and Ivan Garcia Navarro. | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
They are in second place. All kinds of things are possible with a | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
tariff dive of 3.8. Some people on their prayer mats. Not quite sure | :09:48. | :09:58. | |
:09:58. | :10:00. | ||
where to look and what a to-do. That is a big breath. They have got | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
it all going on, at the synchro was very good, but the execution, both | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
divers going over vertical, the 3.8, I am not sure which way this will | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
:10:20. | :10:21. | ||
go. Three twists, into the pad shape. They are crazy. It looks | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
like it will pay off. What colour will it be? He is crossing his | :10:27. | :10:37. | |
:10:37. | :10:38. | ||
fingers. What will happen? Dramatic pause, there you go. The crash can | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :10:56. | ||
see them. 91.20. It will take 102 from Great Britain to get a medal. | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
:11:07. | :11:07. | ||
What other chances? -- what are their chances? They will not be in | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
the Middle East but they would have to finish with both up -- the | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
:11:22. | :11:30. | ||
superb dive from the key bins. -- steady. -- from the Cubans. This | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
has been a fantastic contest. Everybody diving out of their skin. | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
This will be a good score. It will not be in the medals. They were | :11:41. | :11:51. | |
:11:51. | :12:10. | ||
sick after the last round. -- 6th. their final dive. The Mexicans have | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
the silver. It is now the bronze medal that daily and Waterfield are | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
:12:28. | :12:28. | ||
going for. It has to be perfect. -- Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield. | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
100.63. You will know if they have made at bronze. 3.6 degree of | :12:35. | :12:45. | |
:12:45. | :12:56. | ||
they will be oh so close. They did absolutely everything. 3.6 degree | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
of difficulty, coming back from a bad fourth-round tie. Perfect | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
synchronisation. A little bit of splash being thrown up from both | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
divers. The execution marks will probably be about 8.5. I am not | :13:15. | :13:25. | |
:13:25. | :13:26. | ||
sure what they will get on the synchro? But as out of our misery. | :13:26. | :13:34. | |
It is misery, I am afraid. You now see the marks, it is the worst | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
place to finish. Exactly where you finished, Leon, in 2000 in Sydney. | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
It looks like they are going to be 4th and no medal for Tom Daley. All | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
down to the individual at the weekend. It all looks so promising. | :13:56. | :14:05. | |
But not to be. Let's finish this off and we can get out of here. | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
Bondar and Gorshkovozov. The Ukrainians, the last dive for them. | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
3.7. They saved their biggest dive until last, they have done another | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
steady it, good job on it. Not the most fantastic dive. They have | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
managed to pull it together, final dive in this exciting competition. | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
Finishing up well, I did think they will move off their position. They | :14:39. | :14:49. | |
:14:49. | :15:01. | ||
have back loaded, their entry into do a great deal for the standings, | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
:15:11. | :15:13. | ||
but this will be agony. Maybe some thoughts about what went wrong. The | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Chinese can celebrate, as they did in the three-metre synchro | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
yesterday with the women. What about the Mexicans? What about that | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
performance?! They went from an amazingly high tariffs on their | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
dives and it paid off. China winning, Mexico in second, the USA | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
in third and look at the margin between third and 4th. Roughly nine | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
points in a competition where the winners got 486. Imagine what would | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
have happened if they have got the fourth round for the fifth round | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
the way they wanted to. The difference between gold and silver | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
was only 14 points in the end. It is all about the Chinese, as it so | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
often is in diving. They don't go for the higher-risk dives, but they | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
have a very solid programme. Although they were being led by | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
Great Britain for a while, they held their nerve and it did not | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
work out for Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield. They will be back for | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
the individual event. Let's not lose sight of the facts they did | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
beat Cuba, Russia, Germany and Ukraine. It was a solid final. The | :16:40. | :16:49. | |
lowest mark the Ukraine, 4.33, a high as two. The China, 4.86. The | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
Americans are absolutely delighted to get the bronze medal. Edging out | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield. The Mexicans are the real stars of the | :17:00. | :17:10. | |
:17:10. | :17:12. | ||
day with their second place, what a Agonising scenes inside the | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
Aquatics Centre. Mr Ayling effort from Pete Waterfield and Tom Daley | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
but the Chinese proving how impressive their training regime is. | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
Congratulations to China so they have managed to defend their | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
Olympic gold medal. It was agonising out in the park as well. | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
:17:41. | :17:42. | ||
We have our own Henman Hill in east London. These are the scenes when | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
there diving was taking place. After four years of hard work and | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
effort, it wasn't to be. Fantastic effort from both of them. It was a | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
4th died, hard way they we leading the Chinese. However, they slowly | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
started to slip back. It did unsettle them. And in that | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
competition being so close, it made the difference. But China looking | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
successful. We can speak to Leon Taylor, as was pointed out quite | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
cruelly in commentary, you know how it feels to finish 4th in his | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
competition? But it was so close to being a silver medal? It just comes | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
down to one mistake. And that is what happened. After leading after | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
the first two round, the third round dive I leapt out of my seat. | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
But it was the all-important fourth round dive, ironically verve best | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
dive. They have been exceptional in training, but when it mattered in | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
the competition, they faltered. What a shame and they left | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
themselves too much to do to get back. That is the two 4th places | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
for Pete Waterfield now. You do feel for them. They do go in the | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
individual events, but that is some consolation. Let's have a look at | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
arguably the dive that had to out of their seat, probably the best of | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
of their seat, probably the best of the competition? Without a doubt. | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
The marks speak for themselves. They are squeezing into the shape. | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
You can see the synchronisation. But that is where it counts, | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
disappearing into the water. Hardly any splash on the entry. That is | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
what you want. They will be gutted they did not do that on their | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
:19:48. | :19:48. | ||
fourth round died. -- dive putters into the mindset a of them, they | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
were looking so strong at the halfway stage. How much can as dive | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
affect you for the rest of the competition? It is one of those, | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
you are letting it happen, following the process. Tom came out | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
a little bit too early, and Peter came out a bit too late. Both | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
making a different error. Calling a discrepancy on the synchronisation. | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
They both would have been swimming to the side muttering things under | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
the water. There is no magic rewind button. We must mention the fact | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
that standard in that Aquatics Centre was so high, the crowd had | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
an amazing afternoons. Despite not getting a medal we wanted to for | :20:35. | :20:44. | |
Great Britain. Without a doubt. I am taken aback by the quality. I | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
was running it back. The crowd are going mad behind me. They have had | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
a real treat, even Ukrainians is phenomenal. No one is out there | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
giving anything away. It was about going for broke. I was impressed | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
with Mexico, they went for it. High degrees of difficulties. I cannot | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
believe the dives they are doing. I invented the most difficult dive, | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
and they have done that and gone better. Let's talk to the two men | :21:18. | :21:27. | |
4th place is a horrible place to come in the Olympics, but you have | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
just saluted the crowd? They have been amazing. I'm getting emotional | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
thinking about it will stop to come forth, is so agonising after the | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
hard work and training. We have got our individual event coming up on | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
Friday so hopefully we can get back on our game for that. It was all | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
looking so good after three dives? I don't know why, I kicked a bit | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
high and could not stop it. In this competition you cannot make | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
mistakes. We left ourselves with a lot to do. Our last two dives were | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
brilliant. The others have a higher tariffs, but unfortunately it | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
wasn't meant to be. The crowd were amazing. They would have been | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
lovely to have stirred on the podium in front of them. It on, | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
what was your overall reaction? started off it really well and we | :22:27. | :22:36. | |
got a personal best on offer has two required dives. It was just off | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
4th dive. If you miss the dive in a field like that, you are gone. We | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
did well to come back after diving so badly. It is unheard of to come | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
4th still. We only needed another nine points, which normally we | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
would have been able to do. It is just the way it goes. Sometimes it | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
goes in your favour and sometimes it goes against you. It is annoying, | :23:02. | :23:11. | |
but what can you do? Well done. Understandable, disappointment for | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
them. Let's go back into the aquatic Centre and Liam Taylor. It | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
is amazing how one dive can make or break a competition. The job for | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
Tom and Peters to go away and get their heads right and work out how | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
they attacked the individual? Exactly right. They have a big gap | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
until the individual event. It starts on the 10th with the | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
preliminaries, semi-finals and finals. They will be leaving the | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
Olympic village and going back to their training camps to prepare | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
properly. You can see bide their interview, they were professionals. | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
But that 4th dive will haunt them. They could have had the silver | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
medal, but that could be the driving force over the next two | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
weeks. Because they have to stand in his Aquatics Centre and do it | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
again. Peter is a great diver, has died with you at the Olympics in | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
2004 and picked up a medal. He knows what it is takes. Tom is on | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
the form of his life? Peter Studd on the podium here at the test | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
event six months ago. Tom Daley has retained his European title he won | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
four years ago. He has been ailing it World Series, after world series. | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
They will have a point to prove. -- nailing it. I think you need to go | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
and have alive down. I feel sorry for him, it is harder work | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
commentating than doing it because it is so dramatic and emotional. | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
is so involved. His ex-partner is Peter out there and they know | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
exactly what they are going through. All the expectation and pressure | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
and that the three dives, we are getting so excited. Just one error, | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
and the margins are so small. place in an Olympic final for Tom | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
Daley at 18 is impressive. He won't feel like that. He won't, but we | :25:16. | :25:24. | |
must not put too much pressure. As we have said, they will be diving | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
individually and competing against each other and they both have what | :25:27. | :25:35. |
