:02:25. > :02:30.have got a medal at a Home games. Not many people can say that. I am

:02:30. > :02:36.a bit shocked. Can Team GB add to their medal

:02:36. > :02:42.tally? We shall see over the next three hours on BBC One. We have

:02:42. > :02:46.some terrific sport to watch. Great Britain's Liam Tancock was

:02:46. > :02:56.impressive in the semi-final, finishing just behind France's

:02:56. > :03:00.Camille Lacourt. In the 100m backstroke, Gemma Spofforth is up

:03:00. > :03:07.against Missy Franklin who is aiming for a first Olympic gold

:03:07. > :03:14.medal. No Michael Phelps to worry about half for Ryan Lochte. He goes

:03:14. > :03:24.for goal in the 200m freestyle final. Great Britain are confidence

:03:24. > :03:24.

:03:24. > :03:31.of a men's hockey gold since 1988. No they face Argentina. They superb

:03:31. > :03:41.display in qualifying saw Team GB's gymnasts reach an Olympic final for

:04:00. > :04:06.where we will be focusing our We will be joined later with Lennox

:04:09. > :04:14.We were joined the last rotation it would the last man on the floor,

:04:14. > :04:24.Kristian Thomas needing to produce a top routine for Britain's first

:04:34. > :04:43.Britain in with a shout of a bronze medal in this a Olympic team

:04:44. > :04:50.

:04:50. > :05:00.Superbly landing. You can see him wrestling with the emotion. If

:05:00. > :05:06.

:05:06. > :05:16.super stuff, he is getting better breathe. We all get a chance to

:05:16. > :05:31.

:05:31. > :05:40.And this is superb. Bring it all home a young man. This is down to

:05:40. > :05:46.you. Double Arabian. That is just what was needed. A fantastic work.

:05:46. > :05:56.They have given the Ukrainians a huge target. Kristian Thomas, you

:05:56. > :05:57.

:05:57. > :06:07.are incredible. That's is what was needed. What a superstar. Under all

:06:07. > :06:13.

:06:13. > :06:23.that pressure. Kristian Thomas needs over 15.248, for the bronze

:06:23. > :06:24.

:06:24. > :06:34.medal. This is incredible tension. Gather round for this moment.

:06:34. > :06:54.

:06:54. > :07:02.sake a bronze medal in the men's team final at the Olympics.

:07:02. > :07:08.cannot believe it. I have waited a long time but this moment.

:07:08. > :07:14.Incredible they made the final. Even better they have taken a medal

:07:14. > :07:18.from it. Incredible. Then they are overcome by emotion. We are

:07:18. > :07:25.overcome by emotions. It is absolutely extraordinary. Quite

:07:26. > :07:33.unbelievable. And so just lead deserved. They absolutely held

:07:34. > :07:43.their nerve through the whole of the day. In an absolute cauldron.

:07:44. > :07:45.

:07:45. > :07:50.We still have to wait to see the score Japan composed. You will have

:07:50. > :07:55.to forgive us because we are cuddling each other here. It is an

:07:55. > :08:03.incredible moment. We have got to wait for the final scores to come

:08:03. > :08:13.in to confirm everything, but Japan need 13.74, for the silver. Quite a

:08:13. > :08:22.

:08:22. > :08:30.special day. From absolute dejection to total elation. Andre

:08:30. > :08:37.pop of has been in great Britain the years coaching. The lambs are

:08:37. > :08:47.waiting to see its for themselves. -- the lads. Sam Oldham waiting for

:08:47. > :08:49.

:08:49. > :08:59.the scores. We have to wait and see what is happening with Japan.

:08:59. > :09:01.

:09:02. > :09:11.did have to think when the three went to the floor, I was glad it

:09:12. > :09:13.

:09:13. > :09:23.was Kristian Thomas, Daniel Purvis and Sam Oldham. That means Great

:09:23. > :09:24.

:09:24. > :09:34.Britain have a silver! This is totally unprecedented. A fantastic

:09:34. > :09:37.

:09:37. > :09:47.result. Moores celebrations. Royal approval! What more could you want

:09:47. > :09:48.

:09:48. > :09:56.a false start this is unbelievable. In 1912, Great Britain got a bronze

:09:56. > :10:04.in the men's team final. Here, exactly 100 years later, Great

:10:04. > :10:10.Britain gets the silver. I cannot believe it, but I have to believe

:10:10. > :10:14.it. We all have to believe it. This is beyond all expectations and

:10:14. > :10:24.thoroughly deserved. They keep looking at the scoreboard, but it

:10:24. > :10:26.

:10:26. > :10:29.is true! You have done it. Silver! Absolutely incredible. Every person

:10:29. > :10:38.in the North Greenwich Arena is up on their feet. We could never have

:10:38. > :10:47.dreamt that. Matt Baker is doing a handstand. He is reliving his youth.

:10:47. > :10:53.What a special moment. Ukraine, what a performance for them. Japan

:10:53. > :11:03.are in 4th, Ukraine have gone into bronze. This is what cost Japan a

:11:03. > :11:06.

:11:06. > :11:16.medal. No they are in 4th, ladies and gentlemen. He struggled in

:11:16. > :11:23.qualification. The thing about him is he has not looked his best all

:11:23. > :11:28.the way through. It was too much to ask? It was. We saw the second Jim

:11:28. > :11:35.must fall and surely they must have thought that they would be pushed

:11:35. > :11:44.out of the medals. At -- gymnast. A decent performance. But not enough

:11:44. > :11:51.difficulty. Lots of style and it was that this amount. Book holder

:11:51. > :11:55.at the dismount. Like the previous gymnast resort, it was very costly.

:11:55. > :12:01.While Kristian Thomas was on the floor, the cheering that was coming

:12:01. > :12:07.up could well have cut off the Japanese gym master with the

:12:07. > :12:12.dismount. What a performance. -- cut off. So many people are crying,

:12:12. > :12:20.we cannot believe what the British men have achieved at their home

:12:20. > :12:23.Olympics. Then they have a silver medal. Everyone who has ever swung

:12:23. > :12:29.round at a pommel horse or a high bar will be part of this and feel

:12:29. > :12:38.it. And this is the thing, the top teams in the world are here? Yes,

:12:38. > :12:43.they have done it. They are silver medalists at the Olympic games. It

:12:43. > :12:47.is a terrific achievement. They qualified in the top three and we

:12:47. > :12:56.thought up they could not better that. They performed almost

:12:56. > :13:00.faultlessly. A fantastic moment. They are so many ex-British

:13:00. > :13:06.gymnasts are doing various things for various channels and everyone

:13:06. > :13:13.is on their feet. Of course, so many people involved in gymnastics

:13:13. > :13:19.are involved and they are working in the arena, as technicians, or

:13:19. > :13:25.apparatus movers. A huge number of people, so loads of people to enjoy

:13:25. > :13:32.the moment, which is very special. We are here to see it. From all

:13:32. > :13:39.those years of commentating to see this and be here, and be part of

:13:39. > :13:49.that is astounding. Louis Smith is still shaking his head. It is real,

:13:49. > :13:51.

:13:51. > :13:57.it has happened! Yes. Feast your eyes on this everybody. It is the

:13:57. > :14:01.results of the men's team final. China take the gold, Great Britain

:14:02. > :14:11.the silver! Ahead of Ukraine who take bronze. Japan outside of the

:14:12. > :14:17.

:14:18. > :14:22.medals, as are the United States. Great Britain have definitely won a

:14:22. > :14:29.medal. But since the final routine and there is a protest by the

:14:29. > :14:33.Japanese, which is now being upheld. Great Britain have been relegated

:14:33. > :14:39.to a bronze medal. But it is still an unbelievably brilliant

:14:39. > :14:42.achievement. Not silver but bronze. The first medal in this event for

:14:42. > :14:48.The first medal in this event for 100 years. It is quite something.

:14:48. > :14:52.There is the final scoreboard. Japan disputed the decision we saw,

:14:52. > :14:57.the final gymnast on the pommel the final gymnast on the pommel

:14:57. > :15:02.horse and that has been upheld. They therefore get the silver medal.

:15:02. > :15:06.It is still a miraculous performance to get the bronze medal.

:15:06. > :15:12.Louis Smith, Daniel Purvis, Kristian Thomas and Max Whitlock,

:15:12. > :15:16.you have done Britain proud. If you want a more gymnastics it is still

:15:16. > :15:21.on BBC Three. We will have a much longer editor of the gymnastics

:15:21. > :15:31.later. Something to look forward to. The Royal Family enjoying it. What

:15:31. > :15:40.You don't know whether to laugh or cry. Did you know died in the used

:15:40. > :15:44.to be called a fancy diving? -- diving. Nowadays it is a thrilling

:15:44. > :15:54.spectacle, let's have a look at the men's synchronised diving and Great

:15:54. > :15:55.

:15:55. > :15:58.Britain had a genuine medal hopes. Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield.

:15:58. > :16:08.Welcome to the Aquatics Centre and the expectancy is unbelievable.

:16:08. > :16:25.

:16:25. > :16:30.What a reception for Pete Pike, opening dive of Tom Daley and

:16:30. > :16:36.Pete Waterfield. Exactly what we were looking for, superb

:16:36. > :16:46.synchronisation. The crowd like it. At the top of the table. China and

:16:46. > :16:54.

:16:54. > :17:02.Great Britain. Early days yet. How support from our boys. Tom Daley

:17:02. > :17:07.and Waterfield, dive number two. Here we go, yes, I like it. This is

:17:07. > :17:17.how it is going to be. Great Britain at the top of the standings,

:17:17. > :17:21.

:17:21. > :17:31.that is the starter, here comes the Look at the coaches, they like it.

:17:31. > :17:32.

:17:32. > :17:42.If they like it it is really, really good. He might this be? Tom

:17:42. > :17:50.

:17:50. > :18:00.they were looking for, just perfect. The excitement has raced to fever

:18:00. > :18:08.

:18:08. > :18:12.pitch. Halfway Tom Daley and Pete all-important entry into the water.

:18:12. > :18:22.This is a dive that you will not believe when you see it. It may

:18:22. > :18:23.

:18:23. > :18:27.well be impossible. If it comes off watch them rocket up the standings.

:18:27. > :18:37.They have almost pulled it off, the synchronisation is spot-on, I am

:18:37. > :18:40.

:18:40. > :18:49.taken aback, that is an incredible effort. So far, so good. For Tom

:18:49. > :18:55.Daley and Pete Waterfield. I don't know what to say, fourth-round dive,

:18:55. > :19:04.this is how tricky it is. It is China, from Mexico, USA, and Great

:19:04. > :19:12.Britain. It is not the best I have seen, but it is certainly not a big

:19:12. > :19:22.mistake. On to the USA. 3.3 degree of difficulty. The Americas are

:19:22. > :19:23.

:19:23. > :19:30.still in the hunt. Sanchez and Garcia from Mexico. That is a

:19:30. > :19:37.spectacular dive for the Mexicans. N of round five, China, Mexico, USA

:19:37. > :19:44.in the medals at the moment. We were meant -- we won a pretty soon

:19:44. > :19:52.if lease will be gold yet again for the Chinese. -- we will know pretty

:19:52. > :20:02.soon. Made to look almost effortless. The USA are currently

:20:02. > :20:09.

:20:09. > :20:19.Americans. The Mexicans get ready for a very important dive. They are

:20:19. > :20:29.

:20:29. > :20:39.crazy to be doing these dykes. -- - Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield are

:20:39. > :20:45.

:20:46. > :20:55.they will be so close. They did absolutely everything. It looks

:20:56. > :20:56.

:20:56. > :21:01.like they were before. And there What was your overall reaction?

:21:01. > :21:06.started off really well, got a personal best on the first two

:21:06. > :21:09.required dives and and if they dive was really good. Just the 4th dive,

:21:09. > :21:13.if you miss one in a field like that you're gone. We did pretty

:21:13. > :21:17.well to stay with them and come in fourth place after missing a dive

:21:17. > :21:22.that badly because 71 points in a competition like this is unheard of

:21:22. > :21:26.to come in the top four still. just kept a bit higher, and then

:21:27. > :21:30.couldn't stop it. In this competition you cannot make

:21:30. > :21:36.mistakes and unfortunately we left ourselves with a lot to do. The

:21:36. > :21:40.last two guys were brilliant, but just not enough. They have higher

:21:40. > :21:44.tariffs, unfortunately it wasn't our day and wasn't meant to be. The

:21:44. > :21:51.crowd were amazing. It would have been lovely to have stood on the

:21:51. > :21:55.rostrum in front of everybody. is all of what we have dreamed of,

:21:55. > :22:00.to come forth is so agonising after all the hard work and training. --

:22:00. > :22:05.to come in fourth place. We have got away individual events coming

:22:05. > :22:14.up so we can get back on our game. What A difference a dive makes. I

:22:14. > :22:21.enjoyed by Leon Taylor he was commentating. You know what 4th

:22:21. > :22:26.places like, real pain. I am feeling it as well. 12 years

:22:26. > :22:33.ago in Sydney we had that fourth- place finish. I really feel for

:22:33. > :22:36.them. Just one mistake. Six dives, just round number four.

:22:36. > :22:42.excruciatingly exact spot which is probably the reason the Chinese are

:22:42. > :22:46.so good. They were phenomenal. The youngest competitors in the contest.

:22:46. > :22:56.A country mile ahead of the rest of the field. They went on their best

:22:56. > :22:58.

:22:58. > :23:06.form which is extraordinary. -- they were not -- they wear on their

:23:06. > :23:09.best form. The first two rounds, important to stay in contention,

:23:09. > :23:13.limited degree of difficulty. The boys were neck-and-neck with the

:23:13. > :23:17.Chinese, equal first. The third round dive in which in my opinion

:23:17. > :23:23.is the one we are looking at now which isn't the best dive normally,

:23:23. > :23:26.slightly different spin rotations but perfect synchronisation, I did

:23:26. > :23:29.dug out my seat, almost ripped my headphones off because I thought

:23:29. > :23:33.this was the dive that if they got this, this would be good enough for

:23:33. > :23:37.a medal but it is their 4th round dive. Were just normally their best

:23:37. > :23:42.dive. Their bread-and-butter died. If there was one I would put money

:23:42. > :23:46.on it would have been this one. So it is the sport. How wrong could I

:23:46. > :23:52.be? The take-off is good, the synchronisation even better than

:23:52. > :23:57.the dive before. Pete Waterfield over inverted, Tom Daley slightly

:23:57. > :24:01.short of vertical. They hit the water at the same time, the

:24:01. > :24:04.distance from the diving board was good, the spin rotation, the

:24:04. > :24:07.entries that the execution marks were low and they got absolutely

:24:07. > :24:12.caned on the sick remarks, 20 points down what they would

:24:13. > :24:16.normally expected -- on the synchro marks. It is obviously very hard

:24:16. > :24:19.without having a trained eye to know what is perfect. They all

:24:19. > :24:23.looked good to us that even to somebody who doesn't really know

:24:23. > :24:28.exactly what is supposed to have it was pretty obvious they were out of

:24:28. > :24:32.sync. And you could tell by the crowd reaction. Instead of them

:24:32. > :24:36.ripping the roof off, we had that side which I think was my

:24:36. > :24:42.commentary as well. I knew then the medal was pretty much out of their

:24:42. > :24:46.reach. It is an unbelievable sport. They hit the water at 35 mph, the

:24:46. > :24:51.Mexicans took a few chances. They were the star performers. They were

:24:51. > :24:57.the dark horses. They went all out, they were doing dives nobody else

:24:57. > :25:01.is crazy enough to do. The degree of difficulty they are using, I

:25:01. > :25:05.thought they work from a new realm, a different planet. They have

:25:05. > :25:10.invaded these dives nobody else can do and they paid off. They wed the

:25:10. > :25:16.tidiest, the prettiest -- they were not the tidiest. But they made it

:25:16. > :25:23.count. Can Tom Daley bounce back? think they both can. They can go

:25:23. > :25:33.back to their training camp, refocus, at the energise, come out

:25:33. > :25:38.all guns blazing. Thank you for coming in. More headlines. In

:25:38. > :25:41.rowing Great Britain men's coxless four have won gold at the last

:25:41. > :25:48.three Olympics, they got off to a good start with a comfortable win

:25:48. > :25:53.in their heat. Team GB enjoyed an excellent day in

:25:53. > :25:57.Greenwich Park and are lying second place in the eventing team

:25:57. > :26:07.competition after the cross-country. Tina Cook his death and Mary King

:26:07. > :26:12.

:26:12. > :26:17.is safe in the individual standing -- Tina Cook is sixth.

:26:17. > :26:21.Great Britain's hockey captain K Walsh has surgery on her jaw taking

:26:21. > :26:31.a stick flash in the face. Coaches are hoping she may be able to

:26:31. > :26:32.

:26:32. > :26:38.return. Thora Robson produced a superb

:26:38. > :26:48.performance -- Laura Robinson. She beat Safarova and now plays Maria

:26:48. > :26:49.

:26:49. > :26:56.Let's focus on the swimming. I am delighted to be joined by Ian

:26:56. > :27:00.Thorpe. I like that jumper. Thank you.

:27:00. > :27:03.We will talk later, we will go to the swimming-pool, circumstances

:27:03. > :27:07.have taken over with their gymnastics and that remarkable

:27:07. > :27:11.medal. Let's go straight to the depend with Mark Foster and Clare

:27:11. > :27:21.Balding. Thank you very much. We have been

:27:21. > :27:25.joined tonight by Mark Spofforth, the father of Gemma Spofforth. She

:27:25. > :27:33.is in the 100m backstroke just before 8pm. Herstory, had come back

:27:33. > :27:37.over the last 16 months has been remarkable. -- her story. She has

:27:37. > :27:41.got more comfortable with herself. When her mother died before the

:27:41. > :27:45.last Olympics, before she even got selected, one of her great regrets

:27:45. > :27:48.she never knew she was an Olympian but it gave her a reason to do

:27:48. > :27:53.things and then when you grief goes away a little bit you need to find

:27:53. > :27:58.other reasons to keep yourself going. She lost herself for a

:27:58. > :28:02.little while and she is back again. She talked about retiring and to

:28:02. > :28:06.see her here smiling and enjoying the Olympics, it must be an

:28:06. > :28:09.extraordinary feeling. She never defines herself as a swimmer, she

:28:09. > :28:15.is actually doing lots of counselling work, Samaritans,

:28:15. > :28:20.teaching kits, very grounded. Swimming is just one part of her

:28:20. > :28:25.character. In many respects it is a good thing, in others it means it

:28:25. > :28:29.is too easy to move on. Will she retire? I think she might carry on

:28:29. > :28:34.for the Commonwealth Games. She has decided not to think about it until

:28:34. > :28:41.after the end of the week then she will come back and have a rest at

:28:41. > :28:44.the do about it afterwards. If it has been a long haul, 12 years. She

:28:44. > :28:49.decided then that she wanted the gold medal and here she is tonight.

:28:49. > :28:54.She took herself off to Florida to concentrate on swimming. You are

:28:54. > :29:01.based every year. Because she is with the University of Florida you

:29:01. > :29:05.have got this top, proud parents. The Americans do things differently.

:29:05. > :29:10.The university competition is great, really loud, bit like here, a lot

:29:10. > :29:14.of people giving them support and it is about racing, not about

:29:14. > :29:17.personal best, it is about beating the person next tee and that is

:29:17. > :29:21.what turned her into a world champion, earth forget the time, as

:29:21. > :29:28.long as you beat the person next to you, you race them, and you will

:29:28. > :29:32.win. How are you in the stands? As a spectator? Pretty bad. I will sit

:29:32. > :29:38.there quietly until she comes out then I will go completely

:29:38. > :29:42.hysterical. Become probably here I have lost my voice from last night.

:29:42. > :29:49.-- you can probably hear. We so hope she swims well but so pleased

:29:49. > :29:59.to see her in the final. Let's give you the timetable for

:29:59. > :30:06.

:30:06. > :30:14.this morning in the Aquatics Centre. The 200m freestyle features a Ryan

:30:14. > :30:24.Lochte and Robbie Renwick of Great Britain. The 100-metre backstroke

:30:24. > :30:31.for women at 7:51pm. That is Gemma Spofforth's final. Swimmers about

:30:31. > :30:41.to go out for our first race of the evening. You get a good feeling

:30:41. > :30:48.

:30:48. > :30:53.with the gymnasts going well, we When Rebecca Adlington won her

:30:53. > :31:00.medal last night, Liam Tancock come out that the semi-final and you saw

:31:00. > :31:04.the buzz he got from the crowd. It one of form as well, it has and

:31:04. > :31:12.knock on effect. The so many people watching swimming and you recognise

:31:12. > :31:18.the other swimmers. You will recognise two, this is one of them,

:31:18. > :31:28.Allison Schmitt and you will see also Camille Muffat of France.

:31:28. > :31:49.

:31:49. > :31:55.Let's join our commentary team of quick women. What a great swim for

:31:55. > :32:01.400m freestyle was. Has not slept a very well. A drug test as what

:32:01. > :32:07.always happens for the medalists. Then there was no bus, then no food.

:32:07. > :32:11.And then she could not sleep. She took a sleeping tablet and it did

:32:11. > :32:21.not work. She did not look great this morning, and that is probably

:32:21. > :32:21.

:32:21. > :33:11.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

:33:11. > :33:17.200m freestyle. After all of the trials and tribulations, Camille

:33:17. > :33:21.Muffat still woke up with a gold medal. She will have probably had a

:33:21. > :33:31.sleep during the day and that is what she needs for the semi-finals.

:33:31. > :33:34.

:33:34. > :33:43.We thought it would be between lane seven and four, and Bronte Barratt,

:33:43. > :33:50.you can never write off. Still only 23. A strong, Australian competitor.

:33:50. > :34:00.But Camille Muffat looks good. just ahead of Allison Schmitt in

:34:00. > :34:08.

:34:08. > :34:18.their heat at this morning. Camille Muffat looked like she had not

:34:18. > :34:24.

:34:24. > :34:31.slept this morning. This is much better. Camille Muffat will

:34:31. > :34:39.qualified quite nicely for the final I think. It is an impressive

:34:39. > :34:46.saw him. She looks comfortable, but she still has to bring it home. It

:34:46. > :34:53.looks like Allison Schmitt could get the touch. It is Bronte Barratt

:34:53. > :35:01.at the top. She wins the first semi-final which is good for her

:35:01. > :35:08.because her 400 was a little bit ropey. Second was Allison Schmitt

:35:08. > :35:15.and third was Camille Muffat. I am pretty sure those three will be

:35:15. > :35:21.through to the final tomorrow evening. That was the last turn.

:35:21. > :35:31.Barratt at the top. Camille Muffat looked a very good, Andy. Long

:35:31. > :36:02.

:36:02. > :36:05.ranging stroke. She keeps her head holder, Federico Pellegrini.

:36:05. > :36:11.Caitlin McClatchey is in six and has a great chance of reaching the

:36:11. > :36:17.final. It will be good to see what Caitlin McClatchey can do for start

:36:17. > :36:22.she will be watching her partner, Liam Tancock later on this evening.

:36:22. > :36:32.She said she is nervous for him, but she needs to get through her

:36:32. > :36:53.

:36:53. > :36:59.own race! I am a bit nervous for defending champion, the world

:36:59. > :37:09.record-holder and the world champion in this 200m freestyle.

:37:09. > :37:09.

:37:09. > :37:17.She seems to have a bad time in the 400? It always happens before. She

:37:17. > :37:24.has changed club. Missy frank, I wonder how she can get on with this.

:37:24. > :37:34.The talk about her is the multi- medallist, but she has a lot to do.

:37:34. > :38:00.

:38:00. > :38:10.And she hasn't got her headphones the bottom of the picture. One mark

:38:10. > :38:10.

:38:10. > :38:14.from her will be Missy Franklin, the 6 ft 1 American champion. Missy

:38:14. > :38:24.Franklin is the second fastest American in history, next to Alison

:38:24. > :38:34.Smit. She cannot stifle that smile. She smiles all of the time. --

:38:34. > :38:46.

:38:46. > :38:56.women's 200m freestyle. Reasonably even down the first 25. It look

:38:56. > :39:09.

:39:09. > :39:19.like Missy Franklin had a faster position. They don't want to let

:39:19. > :39:28.

:39:28. > :39:38.quite slow down the first 100. Caitlin McClatchey will be turning

:39:38. > :39:40.

:39:40. > :39:46.first, Andy? A very close, first or second. Federico Pellegrini now

:39:46. > :39:52.starting to move. Wearing the white hat in the centre. But look like

:39:52. > :39:59.she was trying to move but Caitlin McClatchey has gone as well. She is

:39:59. > :40:05.having a really good swim. Still at the top is the 18-year-old German.

:40:05. > :40:11.Maybe she is starting to tire. The crowd have gone knots. It is great

:40:11. > :40:21.to see Caitlin McClatchey do this, she is on course for a British

:40:21. > :40:28.record. But Federico Pellegrini hasn't gone as fast as we thought.

:40:28. > :40:32.Caitlin McClatchey is doing really well. Come on, get a touch. It

:40:32. > :40:41.looks like Federico Pellegrini is going to win it. Second is Caitlin

:40:41. > :40:51.McClatchey. What a great swim that was. 1.57 in the first semi-final.

:40:51. > :40:53.

:40:53. > :41:00.I think that makes her 6th into the final. 6th or 7th? Very, very good.

:41:00. > :41:09.It made such a position, it was a flat field coming into the wall.

:41:09. > :41:11.Federico Pellegrini just edging it will stop. She is the threat for

:41:12. > :41:21.the gold but Caitlin McClatchey putting herself in a wonderful

:41:22. > :41:30.

:41:31. > :41:40.and get ready for the 100 backstroke final. Caitlin

:41:41. > :41:44.

:41:44. > :41:49.McClatchey, a cracking swim. Well done. There is Federico Pellegrini,

:41:49. > :41:59.the world record holder. She is trying to look not tired, but

:41:59. > :42:16.

:42:16. > :42:22.McClatchey. If she kept any energy in back, it has put her in 8th

:42:22. > :42:28.position. Congratulations, fantastic swim. Can you hear that

:42:28. > :42:32.lot? I can hear them the whole way through. I was talking to Kiely

:42:32. > :42:38.Palmer from Australia and she said, did you hear the crowd? I said yes,

:42:38. > :42:44.it is fantastic. You have had such a terrible time for a few years and

:42:44. > :42:48.you came back at the right time? have had a tough two years. I

:42:48. > :42:55.thought about stopping but just have the determination to carry on.

:42:55. > :42:59.I am really joy in -- enjoying it. Credit to my coach. I have a

:42:59. > :43:04.fantastic group at Loughborough University. And other Olympic final,

:43:04. > :43:10.but there is a young man coming up in a race in, is that making you

:43:10. > :43:14.more nervous? As a to my coach, I am more nervous for his racer than

:43:14. > :43:18.I am my own because I cannot control what he does. I will pray

:43:18. > :43:27.that he does well tonight. I am excited and nervous but I think he

:43:27. > :43:34.will do a good job. Fantastic to see and she looks really good. Not

:43:34. > :43:39.puffing too much. Straight into the final of the men's 200m freestyle.

:43:39. > :43:46.Robbie Renwick being introduced. He has done so well to make this final.

:43:46. > :43:53.Look at him, he is so pumped up. Next to him in lane two, the new

:43:53. > :44:01.super start of swimming, Ryan Lochte the of the UBS sake. Best

:44:01. > :44:04.the USA. If you look at the people coming after him. Taehwan Park is

:44:05. > :44:11.upset false start he still has his headphones on because I don't think

:44:11. > :44:15.he wants to hear the crowd. Ryan Lochte it in lane two is the

:44:15. > :44:21.defending champion of this 200m freestyle. You forget that

:44:21. > :44:27.sometimes with all of the talk about Michael Phelps will stop the

:44:27. > :44:37.have Sun Yang of China. What record holder at 1,500m freestyle and now

:44:37. > :44:47.the Olympic champion and the 400. This man some so well to anchor the

:44:47. > :44:53.

:44:53. > :45:01.men's 4x100 relay. Yannick angle went but 46.7 on the final leg.

:45:01. > :45:11.Paul Biedermann of Germany had a stinker, but swam better on the 200.

:45:11. > :45:13.

:45:13. > :45:20.He surprised us. But he came back very well. I think the race might

:45:20. > :45:27.go on on the other side of the pool. Might leave them behind. Hopefully

:45:27. > :45:37.it will because it probably Renwick is in lane one. Thomas Fraser-

:45:37. > :45:49.

:45:49. > :45:56.Holmes has done well getting to looked D -- Ryan Lochte. This young

:45:56. > :46:03.man, finding guide, I just don't know how fast he is. That is

:46:03. > :46:07.Yannick Agnel. Between them they have got six Olympic medals already,

:46:07. > :46:14.day three, a crowd just screening of Robbie. They have been using

:46:14. > :46:24.first names of all week. -- this crowd screaming and Robbie. Maybe

:46:24. > :46:30.

:46:30. > :46:35.that is why everybody is wearing freestyle at the Olympic Games. It

:46:35. > :46:42.is absolutely wide open. Got off like a shot in lane five, Yannick

:46:42. > :46:51.Agnel. He is going to try to steal the start. He has got the sprint

:46:51. > :47:01.speed we mentioned. Sun in lane four always does this. He has not

:47:01. > :47:02.

:47:02. > :47:12.got the raw speed at now has. -- Yannick Agnel has. He has got his

:47:12. > :47:28.

:47:28. > :47:35.Look at that. Look at Ryan Lochte, Park, I wonder if Yannick Agnel has

:47:35. > :47:44.gone too early. On the left Tyneside is Ryan Lochte. Can he

:47:44. > :47:50.hold the pace? Ryan Lochte is just tying up, he has got a big turn.

:47:50. > :47:58.Yannick Agnel, Robbie Renwick is suffering. Yannick Agnel looks

:47:58. > :48:02.deeper. He is swimming away. Ryan Lochte tying up a little bit. This

:48:02. > :48:05.will be Yannick Agnel by a long mile. Let's have a look at the

:48:05. > :48:14.world record. He is surely going to get this, a massive swim. Just

:48:14. > :48:24.outside. But he wins by a whole body length. Tied for the silver

:48:24. > :48:27.

:48:27. > :48:33.medal between Sun of China and Part of Korea. I hope the French

:48:33. > :48:38.president is still there, he will be very happy with that, French

:48:38. > :48:45.woman, what a couple of evenings they have had. He absolutely

:48:45. > :48:49.crushed the field. I cannot believe how far he won it by. He went out

:48:49. > :48:54.from the gun and it I thought maybe that wasn't a great a tactic

:48:54. > :48:59.because he used a lot of energy. He swung away from there. Ryan Lochte

:48:59. > :49:02.went under water, took his big fly kick. Yannick Agnel, a complete

:49:03. > :49:08.class apart from the edge of the field, full-bodied and, at the

:49:08. > :49:17.Olympic Games, doesn't happen often. -- full body length. It doesn't

:49:17. > :49:27.happen on the 200m freestyle ever. Really impressive. Two gold medals

:49:27. > :49:27.

:49:27. > :49:30.now for Yannick Agnel personally. He cannot believe it. A I could see

:49:30. > :49:38.him winning it but not by that, nearly two seconds. Olympic

:49:38. > :49:48.champion, men's 200 freestyle, Yannick Agnel of France, the silver

:49:48. > :49:53.

:49:53. > :50:02.to Park of Korea. Robbie Renwick finishes in sixth. He might be a

:50:02. > :50:08.little bit disappointed, but it was Another good swim, you have

:50:08. > :50:13.consistently got faster. The fighting keep going, who knows?

:50:13. > :50:20.Four years' time and might get a medal. Solid performance, can't ask

:50:20. > :50:27.for much more. Faster than yesterday. I cannot believe it just

:50:27. > :50:30.went by so fast. Good swim. Another exciting race. It almost is

:50:30. > :50:35.as if it is taking over as the premium events.

:50:35. > :50:42.It is my favourite event so I find it the most exciting. I would love

:50:42. > :50:47.to watch their race. Moran probably be part of it, that is all about --

:50:47. > :50:51.more importantly be part of it. Did you hear everybody chanting

:50:51. > :50:58.your name, shouting Robbie. It was absolutely fantastic. The

:50:58. > :51:01.home support is brilliant, I go and ask for more. It makes Team GB swim

:51:01. > :51:11.a lot faster, hopefully there will be more great performances to come

:51:11. > :51:12.

:51:12. > :51:18.and their president has picked the right night to come, their third

:51:18. > :51:22.gold medal in the swing will this week. Now Yannick Agnel, only 20,

:51:22. > :51:26.they -- winning the men's too rigid metre freestyle. Another British

:51:26. > :51:32.women in the final coming up. Her name is Gemma Spofforth, we were

:51:32. > :51:36.talking to her father earlier. She was the world champion in 2009,

:51:36. > :51:41.broke the world record, has had a dip, last year fell out of the top

:51:41. > :51:45.30, lost her funding, but now she is back, not necessarily at her

:51:45. > :51:50.best but at a good enough medal to sneak her best.

:51:50. > :51:57.If you look at the form from the semi- finals she will not pass

:51:57. > :52:02.Emily Seebohm. She had a slight lull, a lot of soul-searching,

:52:02. > :52:09.family problems, but she is happy again, making the finals is a great

:52:09. > :52:19.thing. I could see her on the back of Franklin, she could get silver.

:52:19. > :52:22.

:52:22. > :52:28.Go on, a gem of them. -- Gemma. Here she is, Emily Seabourne, 58.2

:52:28. > :52:33.in the heats, the world record is 58.1. Will she break the world

:52:33. > :52:37.record in this final? If she does, I don't think anybody will be

:52:37. > :52:43.anywhere near her. This young lady has just done the 200m freestyle

:52:43. > :52:46.semi-finals, she has only just got out of it, how can you do a final?

:52:46. > :52:52.She is 17, she has got lots of energy. Emily Seebohm will be

:52:52. > :53:02.strong. The world champion in late six for

:53:02. > :53:12.China. Listen to the elation following seven, Gemma Spofforth. -

:53:12. > :53:16.

:53:16. > :53:22.Dannatt a lot of noise but that was deafening. The world record holder

:53:22. > :53:27.for Great Britain. Her mind is in the right place. Great to see her,

:53:27. > :53:35.she looks in such good form. She is so tough, I am really pleased. She

:53:35. > :53:44.has been training in Florida with an English coach. And in lane eight,

:53:44. > :53:48.the Chinese swimmer. She is only 16. Beware of the 16-year-old Chinese.

:53:48. > :53:52.Emily Seebohm was talking about after the heats on the backstroke

:53:52. > :54:02.you can see the scoreboard, at 50m she turned, it saw the scoreboard,

:54:02. > :54:03.

:54:03. > :54:07.it saw she was under world-record pace, and told her self- -- told

:54:07. > :54:12.herself to calm down. As U-turn, you're coming back, it is staring

:54:12. > :54:16.you in the face. UK first at the turn, you are in a world record

:54:16. > :54:26.pace, it is yours if you keep going. I think she will not look at it

:54:26. > :54:33.

:54:33. > :54:37.this time. She is eyeing the world metre backstroke. The yellow hat in

:54:37. > :54:41.the centre is Emily Seebohm going for the world record. She has had a

:54:41. > :54:46.very good start. A much better start for Gemma Spofforth, the red

:54:46. > :54:51.hat on the right hand side. Closest to us as you look from the side.

:54:51. > :54:56.She is a good second half swimmer, going well. Franklin not going well

:54:56. > :55:06.in five. A sluggish kick off the wall. Emily Seebohm, fantastic as

:55:06. > :55:08.

:55:08. > :55:13.always. Under will record. We saw that there. Gemma Spofforth is

:55:13. > :55:21.challenging for the medals, a great comeback. She looks really good.

:55:21. > :55:31.She looked pretty good at the moment. She may tie up a little bit.

:55:31. > :55:37.

:55:37. > :55:46.It is really close, elixir of it may be Missy Franklin. Gemma

:55:46. > :55:50.Spofforth was 4th in Beijing. Her time, 59.2. What a gutsy swim.

:55:50. > :55:56.Speaking of good the swim, Franklin has just done a semi-final of the

:55:56. > :56:01.200 freestyle and just come back and one in 58.33. Something like 15

:56:01. > :56:07.minutes later. She qualified in 8th place. Did the job, may be held a

:56:07. > :56:11.little bit back and just risked it. Emily Seebohm, not delivered. She

:56:11. > :56:17.was talking about the world record, a lot of the media asked about it,

:56:17. > :56:22.it is about the gold medal. Maybe high-rise were offered, it does not

:56:22. > :56:28.focusing. Franklin, black cap coming up. A little bit behind.

:56:28. > :56:32.Spofforth, worked very hard, but just didn't have enough. Franklin

:56:32. > :56:36.does a good butterfly kick to the wall, a really strong in. She

:56:36. > :56:40.hadn't got to the wall, big fly kick at the end, and keeps the

:56:40. > :56:47.momentum and the power going. Emily sebum is looking at the wall and

:56:47. > :56:52.would have seen Franklin already touch. 20 minutes ago she did the

:56:52. > :56:56.semi-finals of the 200m freestyle, qualified for the final, and Missy

:56:56. > :57:00.Franklin is the Olympic champion of the women's 100-metre backstroke.

:57:00. > :57:10.Emily Seebohm guess the silver. Gemma Spofforth, a really brilliant

:57:10. > :57:14.

:57:14. > :57:19.He gave that everything. Definitely. It is the journey and not the

:57:19. > :57:25.destination. Obviously I wanted to win a medal, a bit disappointed,

:57:25. > :57:28.4th in 2000 date, and the journey since then has been up and down. --

:57:28. > :57:33.in 2008. Everything happens for a reason and I am really enjoying

:57:33. > :57:37.this year and wanted to say to all those people, who are in a time of

:57:37. > :57:41.crisis, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I have been

:57:41. > :57:46.a rock bottom, it is really nice to find a passion Again and enjoys

:57:46. > :57:49.something. Looking at the way you have been over the last year, it

:57:49. > :57:59.almost is as if you find yourself three months ago but you needed to

:57:59. > :58:05.

:58:05. > :58:08.This is a speed bump in the road. There will be lots of people

:58:08. > :58:11.winning the border medals for Great Britain. Inspiring people. Your dad

:58:11. > :58:16.talked about David Wilkins inspiring you, how important is

:58:16. > :58:19.that? Everybody that has come through my life, training with Ryan,

:58:19. > :58:23.all those people, meeting in Indians is really important and

:58:23. > :58:27.they do work with kids at home and it is really special to me to be

:58:27. > :58:31.able to say to them I have been into the Olympic finals.

:58:31. > :58:34.And that is the definition of inspiration. She may not have won a

:58:34. > :58:37.medal but if she has tried her heart out and after what she has

:58:37. > :58:41.been through in the last years, good on her, an extraordinary

:58:41. > :58:45.achievement, as her dad said earlier, she doesn't define herself

:58:45. > :58:49.as a swimmer, she is bigger than that. But she is a pretty darn good

:58:49. > :58:54.swimmer. Pretty phenomenal. Having the year

:58:54. > :58:57.she has had, dropped a second from what she did in April.

:58:58. > :59:07.Such is the depth of British swimming we have another final and

:02:27. > :02:46.

:02:47. > :02:53.the bronze medal. The gold has gone to Matthew Grevers of the USA, as

:03:20. > :03:25.it won't be the reaction interviews. Maybe that will be next week or in

:03:25. > :03:35.a couple of days. But a Matthew Grevers deserved the victory. He

:03:35. > :03:57.

:03:57. > :04:07.has been consistent and strong or was ahead of him. It was such a

:04:07. > :04:08.

:04:39. > :04:45.height? They are very tall. I went for everything, it did not quite

:04:45. > :04:51.come up this time, but Rio is in for years. Are you thinking about

:04:51. > :04:57.all those 5:00am starts? I love what I do. An amazing sport, made

:04:57. > :05:04.so many friends and get amazingly fit. This crowd is incredible. If I

:05:04. > :05:11.have so many supporters now. It is a dream to swim in a pool like this

:05:11. > :05:14.in France of this crowd. I came 5th today, but I am going to aim high,

:05:14. > :05:19.and I gave it everything. What would you say to those youngsters

:05:19. > :05:26.watching at home thinking they would like to do that? I was

:05:26. > :05:29.walking through the cold room a few weak -- a couple of hours ago and I

:05:29. > :05:37.saw that there was something on the wall about inspiring a generation.

:05:37. > :05:41.I hope we are doing that. Hopefully we will inspire some future

:05:41. > :05:46.generations of swimmers. The Olympians and people who just want

:05:46. > :05:54.to give their best. I will see you in a few days for the relay, but I

:05:54. > :06:01.will see you in four years, if that That is what they call a legacy of

:06:01. > :06:06.attitude. This Aquatics Centre will be here for ever. Liam Tancock will

:06:07. > :06:13.be 31 in four years, but he just wants to keep doing it. I went to

:06:13. > :06:19.my last Olympics at the age of 38, he is still a poppy in my book.

:06:19. > :06:25.Liam Tancock's events is the 50m backstroke. In athletics terms,

:06:25. > :06:30.what he is working on is the second 50. From his 52 his 100 he was not

:06:30. > :06:35.getting any faster from what I have seen from last year. But, saying

:06:35. > :06:40.that he's gone from six in the last Olympics, 5th in this one. I don't

:06:40. > :06:45.think he did anything different from the semi-final. Just the other

:06:45. > :06:49.as it went a little bit faster in matter one moment. We have Missy

:06:49. > :06:56.Franklin winning but the USA and they have suddenly taken off. It

:06:56. > :07:00.has been a bit slow for them, apart from Ryan Lochte, obviously. We are

:07:00. > :07:08.so used to them dominating so early on. They did not dominate in the

:07:08. > :07:18.relay. If Michael Phelps is not a firing, they have other talented

:07:18. > :07:18.

:07:18. > :07:23.swimmers. Talking to Gemma's Dad earlier, he said in America it is

:07:23. > :07:29.phenomenal. The training, they use it the whole beat the person next

:07:29. > :07:34.to you think. Some of our championships, we don't have that

:07:34. > :07:41.competition. We need to do it a more. We don't have that many 50-

:07:41. > :07:45.metre pools. This is the first one in the south for ages. There is a

:07:45. > :07:51.pool in Crystal Palace, and in Ealing. If you go back about 10

:07:51. > :07:58.years ago, they used to have more pools in Paris than we had in the

:07:58. > :08:05.whole of the UK. But we are catching up. No medals I am afraid

:08:05. > :08:09.from the pool tonight. We have more semi-final action coming up. On BBC

:08:09. > :08:15.Three you can watch the men's hockey, Great Britain playing

:08:15. > :08:20.Argentina. On the red button, and I know loads of people are choosing

:08:20. > :08:24.the opportunity. Weightlifting is one of those options. Beach

:08:24. > :08:30.volleyball at Horseguards Parade is another one and women's basketball

:08:30. > :08:34.you can select if you wish. Great Britain against Canada. Great

:08:34. > :08:40.Britain just leading in the first quarter. Those are your red button

:08:40. > :08:50.options. And tomorrow morning once all the live action starts, you can

:08:50. > :08:50.

:08:50. > :10:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

:10:27. > :10:32.follow it on the red button if you Lots of drama on the BBC. If you

:10:32. > :10:36.are wondering were Eastenders is, it is on BBC Two. It is East end

:10:36. > :10:45.swimming we are interested in and we have seen some good stuff in the

:10:45. > :10:49.Paul? Looking at the men's 200 freestyle. My favourite was Yannick

:10:49. > :10:53.angle. I have watched him coming through all of these championships

:10:53. > :10:58.through the summer. What he did different league was he took it out

:10:58. > :11:04.faster than he has done previously and turned with an excellent time.

:11:04. > :11:09.Very talented young swimmer. It has been an incredible effort from the

:11:09. > :11:16.French. In their entire history in the Paul they have only ever won

:11:16. > :11:22.four. There is something in the water over there. British not quite

:11:22. > :11:27.made it? A bit disappointing for Liam Tancock. I thought he might

:11:27. > :11:32.have been able to slip in there for a bronze medal. I did not think it

:11:32. > :11:39.would be silver or anything like that. He has had to change his

:11:39. > :11:44.training just to be able to swim at a Home games. It is a shame there

:11:45. > :11:49.is no 50m in the Olympics, only in freestyle? They look at introducing

:11:49. > :11:56.its a few years back and decided against it. It is in the World

:11:56. > :12:01.Championships? It is, but not in the Olympics. It is something they

:12:01. > :12:06.may consider in the future but the programme is long already. A shame

:12:06. > :12:10.for Liam Tancock, that is his speciality. What about Missy

:12:10. > :12:16.Franklin, coming out 20 minutes after she had qualified in 8th

:12:16. > :12:21.place into the final and then comes out again and wins the gold medal?

:12:21. > :12:26.This did surprise me. I watched her in the 200, which is what she did

:12:26. > :12:32.before the back straight. She went through, and I thought I am not

:12:32. > :12:38.that impressed. And then in the last 50, I thought yes, she was

:12:38. > :12:43.just qualifying. Were she saving herself? She was, she only had 15

:12:43. > :12:48.minutes between that race and going on to win the gold. Emily Seebohm

:12:48. > :12:54.struggled. I think the weight of that may have held her back. Missy

:12:54. > :13:00.Franklin, brilliant swim. Brilliant swim from Matthew Grevers as well?

:13:00. > :13:06.It was. Very tall! Great for backstroke. The Americans have that

:13:06. > :13:10.event back. Pine know from my time line on twitter, many had been

:13:10. > :13:15.wandering about what has happened to the Olympic flame. It is still

:13:15. > :13:20.alight and has now been moved inside the stadium from the centre

:13:20. > :13:25.of the track and field where it was. It has been moved to this spot, can

:13:25. > :13:31.you remember were the bell was that Bradley Wiggins hit to get the

:13:31. > :13:36.ceremony under way? I think it is the first Olympic games for some

:13:36. > :13:43.time way you cannot actually see the flame from outside the stadium.

:13:43. > :13:46.It is beautiful in there. Do you think it is a shame? It is always

:13:46. > :13:50.nice being in the Olympic village and looking over and saying, there

:13:50. > :13:55.is the Olympic flame. But it is a beautiful flame and it is in the

:13:55. > :14:02.stadium. We will see plenty of it next week when the athletics kick

:14:02. > :14:07.off. Let's go back to the aquatic centre. It is a shame that the

:14:07. > :14:11.other venues, talking about the Olympic flame. It is always in the

:14:11. > :14:15.athletics stadium. I know some competitors feel a bit hard done by

:14:15. > :14:22.because they would like them medals presented in front of the Olympic

:14:22. > :14:26.flame. Or as it is this time, many flames. 204 of them, I think.

:14:26. > :14:31.Normally you can see it from the top of the stadium, but from the

:14:31. > :14:36.village you get to see it. Everyone gets to see it did you go to the

:14:36. > :14:42.opening and closing ceremony. America have sprung to life with

:14:42. > :14:52.two gold medals. And they are leading the medals table regarding

:14:52. > :14:52.

:14:52. > :14:59.the Paul. They said, one gold is not enough for the Australians.

:14:59. > :15:04.They are struggling? The boys had a strong history in swimming. When

:15:04. > :15:10.Ian Thorpe was a round, keirin Perkins, they had a strong history.

:15:10. > :15:15.People do expect. It is almost like when Rebecca Adlington won, people

:15:15. > :15:20.do expect. It does not mean it is over for them. When Ian Thorpe was

:15:20. > :15:26.winning, a couple of swimmers can make a team also. So when they were

:15:26. > :15:30.missing the team was weaker. In Australia, their swimmers are like

:15:30. > :15:36.footballers over here. When I first went to Australia, all the adverts

:15:36. > :15:41.and posters with the swimmers. Leisel Jones comes here with

:15:41. > :15:46.experience of having been two Olympic games before. The fastest

:15:46. > :15:51.qualifier for this set a new European record. She is from at the

:15:51. > :16:01.way near, which she wouldn't associate. She trains in Plymouth

:16:01. > :16:03.

:16:03. > :16:07.I know a lot of time to swimming pools that have been down in

:16:07. > :16:16.Plymouth because not only you get an education, you can train hard.

:16:16. > :16:20.Tom Daley is down there at the same place. He is a great coach. I don't

:16:20. > :16:27.know what the fan at situation is, whether her parents are down there

:16:27. > :16:33.-- a family situation. She is only 15. How much of a

:16:33. > :16:37.disadvantage is it, OK we have seen Missy Franklin come through and win

:16:37. > :16:44.gold at his first Olympics, is swimming one of those sports where

:16:44. > :16:48.does it matter if you haven't been through it -- through it before?

:16:48. > :16:51.Earth are statistically they say something like within the Olympic

:16:52. > :16:56.Games 70% of Olympians of first- time Olympians, 30% have done

:16:56. > :16:59.Olympics before, but at the medals 70% comes from those who have been

:16:59. > :17:05.to an Olympics before, so statistically it does make a

:17:05. > :17:09.difference but there are Becky Adlington, this girl here, because

:17:09. > :17:13.she is 50 also, and very young, very naive, she would just love the

:17:13. > :17:20.experience, I don't know if she will understand what she's doing

:17:20. > :17:24.until later in life. She just kept looking at the board. She just

:17:24. > :17:28.didn't know what she had done, was in total shock.

:17:28. > :17:32.You make a huge improvement when you're younger. The other thing is,

:17:32. > :17:37.when you are that young, every time you dive in, even though you have a

:17:37. > :17:40.world record and it is your best time, you try and beat it. For her,

:17:40. > :17:46.you make huge improvements when you're young. They must be so

:17:46. > :17:50.exciting, daunting but exciting. Is there any psyching out, in the

:17:50. > :17:56.bits we cannot see, if we had a camera, they're all sitting, the

:17:56. > :18:00.world champion, Jones, is there anything that has ever happened to

:18:00. > :18:04.you in a call room where you have felt a bit strange.

:18:04. > :18:10.I used to do something to other people, but I do remember Alex

:18:10. > :18:17.Popov, the legend. He is here, he keeps coming past us.

:18:17. > :18:23.He is here, he keeps coming past us. He was unbeaten, double Olympic

:18:23. > :18:28.gold-medallist in 92, 96, he said, when you are swimming you keep

:18:28. > :18:33.dropping your elbow, and you need to have nice high elbows. I

:18:33. > :18:37.remember, what is this thing? I wasn't thinking about it but in the

:18:37. > :18:42.warm-up, thought about it, after the race and later on I was

:18:42. > :18:45.dropping my elbow but at the same time he said, I knew I got you.

:18:45. > :18:49.Psychologically he got my mind thinking about something else other

:18:49. > :18:55.than the race. And these women have been waiting,

:18:55. > :19:02.here is the defending champion, set an Olympic record in Beijing. It is

:19:02. > :19:12.expected to the USA against the Australia. But the new girl on the

:19:12. > :19:12.

:19:12. > :19:20.block will be coming out shortly. And the Russian is not slow either.

:19:20. > :19:26.In Beijing she was 4th. She was the European record holder. Until last

:19:26. > :19:30.night in the semi-finals. This young lady, 15 years of age, her

:19:30. > :19:39.first major championship. She has qualified for the Olympic final

:19:39. > :19:45.fastest. Lithuania never won an Olympic medal in the swimming pool.

:19:45. > :19:51.I think if anyone will beat her it will be Rebecca from the USA.

:19:51. > :19:58.She has got great pedigree. American trials she qualified first

:19:58. > :20:01.for this event. She has got an almost -- or some stroke. She will

:20:01. > :20:05.be dangerous to was the last 15, 20 metres.

:20:05. > :20:09.I think this lady will be dangerous as well. She won the American

:20:09. > :20:14.trials, and massive shock, partly because she only started

:20:14. > :20:17.competitive swimming three years ago. Wanted to get a scholarship at

:20:17. > :20:24.university and decided swimming is the one so she started training and

:20:24. > :20:34.got one, now she is in the Olympic final. She is a little bit scary.

:20:34. > :20:39.

:20:39. > :20:43.Denmark in seven. Jamaica, one this one-off to make this final.

:20:43. > :20:53.There has been a history of girls in this race, Jones was only 14

:20:53. > :20:54.

:20:54. > :20:59.when she got a silver medal. Riley was 15th from Australia we

:20:59. > :21:09.Chief Whip the record so this race seems to be able to produce some

:21:09. > :21:21.

:21:21. > :21:29.young girls who come through, breaststroke. Oh, No. They didn't

:21:29. > :21:35.say take your marks. How bizarre. That is not great. How bizarre is

:21:35. > :21:39.that. Did say, take your marks. She is going to have to recomposed

:21:39. > :21:45.herself, very important that doesn't through her. Give her a

:21:45. > :21:53.little bit of time. Let them stand back for a minute. I have never

:21:53. > :21:58.seen that before. I have never seen an Olympic final. They are getting

:21:58. > :22:05.to relax, that is good. Although not great for the rest of them.

:22:05. > :22:13.This is ridiculous, come on, guys. If she can cope with this and still

:22:13. > :22:23.come through, with that composure of the grandest scale. There was a

:22:23. > :22:26.

:22:26. > :22:29.starter error. The beat went by mistake. -- beep. There is a man

:22:29. > :22:39.walking with a tool box every to the starting machine, getting a

:22:39. > :22:48.replacement. The bottom right-hand corner, there he is. Fixing it. I

:22:48. > :22:54.feel sorry for Larsen of the USA. Get some air in the lungs. She is

:22:54. > :22:58.standing up, next to her she is sitting down. Just the worst thing.

:22:58. > :23:02.You go through a mental preparation for racing, get to the back of the

:23:02. > :23:08.box, know exactly what is going to happen, and the referee blows the

:23:08. > :23:18.whistle, you get on the back of the block. Ready to go. Take your marks

:23:18. > :23:22.

:23:22. > :23:26.ago. What a nerve is going on? On earth -- what on earth.

:23:26. > :23:34.I am not sure. Obviously it has been a technical error, no

:23:34. > :23:38.disqualification. I don't know why she left the blocks. Was there a

:23:38. > :23:46.take your marks before she did? There was no, take your marks.

:23:46. > :23:54.Completely bizarre. They have done the right thing and return them to

:23:54. > :24:03.the starting position. Take your marks. A clean start the second

:24:03. > :24:11.time round. Lithuania in the centre, having a cracking start. A shocker

:24:11. > :24:20.again for Rebecca from the USA, that is not a great start. If the

:24:20. > :24:30.Lithuanian keeps us going she has got a great chance. Soni, You

:24:30. > :24:36.

:24:36. > :24:39.cannot write her off. Larsson, that has not thrown hurdle. This will be

:24:39. > :24:46.really interesting. Look at that struck, doesn't even close her

:24:46. > :24:52.hands. It is not over yet. The Lithuanian was very strong at the

:24:52. > :24:59.end in the semi-finals. She is holding on Elaine for for Lithuania,

:24:59. > :25:09.they have never won a medal in the swindle, it will be really tight.

:25:09. > :25:12.

:25:12. > :25:20.Gold medal for Lithuania, and Plymouth. Look at that. 65.47. The

:25:20. > :25:28.Olympic champion aged 15. Well done. What a couple of days. All the way

:25:28. > :25:38.through, she has been the dominant women. John Rudge did a great job

:25:38. > :25:38.

:25:38. > :25:42.at Plymouth. -- Judd. All that confusion, all that stuff going on

:25:42. > :25:52.around her. Able to keep her composure. She left the block

:25:52. > :25:57.

:25:57. > :26:07.faster than any other swimmer. Soni, Maybe another couple of metres but

:26:07. > :26:12.

:26:12. > :26:17.they weren't any left for her. have one! You have! What a great

:26:17. > :26:27.reaction for a 15-year-old. What am I doing here? I am Olympic

:26:27. > :26:29.

:26:29. > :26:39.champion! Brilliance won. -- brilliant swimmer. Big surprise for

:26:39. > :26:44.

:26:44. > :26:48.emotional. I am sure he Sharron Davies will try and get an

:26:48. > :26:52.interview. Listen to the crowd. They have really taken this 15-

:26:52. > :26:56.year-old to their hearts. There are a load of Lithuanian fans Helen

:26:56. > :27:01.Skelton was speaking to yesterday, they were all held Dean of to the

:27:01. > :27:05.basketball. The two gentlemen standing next to us, quite formal

:27:05. > :27:10.looking gentleman with Lithuanian flags, and in the crowd we heard

:27:10. > :27:13.some Lithuanian supporters. Nobody could have predicted at the

:27:14. > :27:21.beginning of these Olympic Games Lithuania would win a gold medal in

:27:21. > :27:29.this Whimple, a 15-year-old girl. - - in the swimming pool. On her

:27:29. > :27:37.times you wouldn't have predicted she would get through to the final.

:27:37. > :27:41.Let's find out whether she can How are you feeling? I cannot

:27:41. > :27:46.believe it. Tell us what you are thinking when there was all the

:27:46. > :27:54.false start and drama, you had the most amazing today's. What are you

:27:54. > :28:00.thinking right now? It is too much for me. Talk to me about dad, he is

:28:00. > :28:03.watching right now, in Plymouth. Tell him what you are thinking. We

:28:03. > :28:13.are so proud of you, you train in Plymouth. John will be watching as

:28:13. > :28:15.

:28:15. > :28:20.well. Aniseed in Lithuanian? What does that mean? Thank you, I love

:28:20. > :28:30.you. Tremendous, you did so well, you have got such a future in front

:28:30. > :28:38.of you. Did the start by the you? All the problems? No. I can't

:28:38. > :28:45.believe it. I am not sure she will have

:28:45. > :28:52.recovered enough for her medal ceremony. Almost none interview

:28:52. > :28:56.says as much as a really well prepared interview.

:28:56. > :29:01.Absolutely blown away. The just the face says it will.

:29:01. > :29:05.The motion, didn't expect it, 15 years, blown away.

:29:05. > :29:11.How wonderful and beautiful the fact that the false start, were you

:29:11. > :29:17.aware of it? No. They just want to race and get in there. It is an

:29:17. > :29:21.Olympic final, what a wonderful place to do that, do your best time.

:29:21. > :29:29.That is almost my favourite non- British story so far.

:29:30. > :29:35.We have to take her up. Plymouth! I really like that as a story. The

:29:35. > :29:42.reaction is perfect. It is like going back to what

:29:42. > :29:46.Liam's said, if you can inspire the next generation, who inspired her?

:29:46. > :29:52.Safety reasons, somebody in the family? If you think of a

:29:52. > :29:55.skyscraper, at the top, people like her show what is possible with the

:29:55. > :30:01.human body in sport, but the important bit is the foundations,

:30:01. > :30:05.when people get the social and health benefits.

:30:05. > :30:09.I'm just -- I was listening to a programme on Radio 4 about

:30:09. > :30:14.inspiration, you get inspired by seeing people like you, not be

:30:14. > :30:18.exceptional, but somebody who is not dissimilar to you, and that,

:30:18. > :30:28.somebody like that achieving is the thing that makes such a difference.

:30:28. > :30:31.

:30:31. > :30:40.That is an Olympic champion. Her nails painted in the Lithuanian

:30:40. > :30:46.flag. Those two guys there will be her security guards enough. Those

:30:46. > :30:52.with the flag? I think so. They everyone is getting emotional,

:30:52. > :30:59.Ruta Meilutyte, extraordinary at 15 years and age. How can she do that?

:30:59. > :31:05.Just like that. She has come in and dropped off time in the heats. She

:31:05. > :31:09.probably thought she had a chance for the semi-final. But because she

:31:09. > :31:13.dropped a significant amount of time, she was able to swim the

:31:13. > :31:18.similar time in the semi-final and then in the final and good enough

:31:18. > :31:24.to win an Olympic gold. She was almost looking like, I shouldn't be

:31:24. > :31:30.doing this. It was that reaction, extraordinary. How else do you

:31:30. > :31:36.react? You are on Olympic champion and you cannot believe it happened

:31:36. > :31:43.to you. How do you respond to your dream coming true at such a young

:31:43. > :31:50.age? You are talking about young clerk -- summers in particular,

:31:50. > :31:56.there is a large amount of them? breaststroke we often see very good,

:31:56. > :32:03.young breaststroke swimmers, 14, 15 and they are very successful at a

:32:03. > :32:08.young age. About half of them drop off and we don't see them a year or

:32:08. > :32:14.two later. The other half struggle a little bit and then come back.

:32:14. > :32:19.Leisel Jones did it, Amanda the it did it. It is interesting you can

:32:19. > :32:25.be successful in breaststroke at such a young age. Some big races to

:32:25. > :32:29.come. Post swimming we have men's hockey as Team GB take on Argentina.

:32:29. > :32:35.We have seen a bronze medal for Britain in the gymnastics, and we

:32:35. > :32:39.will show you out it happened. I will be joined for the boxing by

:32:39. > :32:44.Lennox Lewis, and that is just to give you a pointer of what we have

:32:44. > :32:50.coming up. We are staying in the water with rowing. The Britons are

:32:50. > :32:54.men's eight which includes Greg Searle, gold winner 20 years ago in

:32:54. > :32:58.Barcelona. They were under pressure and were beaten into second by the

:32:58. > :33:01.Americans. They have to finish Americans. They have to finish

:33:01. > :33:05.within the first four, if they were to make it in the final. This is

:33:05. > :33:08.how they got on. Be it is imperative from a

:33:08. > :33:13.psychological point of view that Great Britain win this race. It

:33:13. > :33:18.will give them a good lane alongside either the USA or Germany,

:33:18. > :33:22.the two boats that won the opening heats. 12 years ago, Great Britain

:33:22. > :33:27.won in Sydney and did it the hard way. They did not have a great

:33:27. > :33:37.eater and had to fight their way through. They absolutely flew in

:33:37. > :33:48.

:33:48. > :33:55.that Canada will come back at them and will attack them harder. The

:33:55. > :33:59.Canadians are going for the wind. Watch out for Australia in lane

:33:59. > :34:05.three. The Australians humiliated Great Britain in Munich six weeks

:34:05. > :34:11.ago. Here come Australia and here come Canada. The world is coming

:34:11. > :34:16.back now and Great Britain. Surely they have done enough to win this?

:34:16. > :34:23.Great Britain, 36 strokes a minute. There is a bit of room for them to

:34:23. > :34:32.sprint on. They are in a good position. Canada are 39 strokes a

:34:32. > :34:38.minute. The Canadians driving and they can sense blood. Surely they

:34:38. > :34:44.won't turn over the British? Great Britain is holding on. It is great

:34:44. > :34:53.Britain from Canada, Australia coming hard. It will be great

:34:53. > :35:03.Britain. They have done a job well done. Canada will be second. The

:35:03. > :35:10.

:35:10. > :35:14.This is in the Olympic Park. The lovely atmosphere inside. People

:35:14. > :35:20.just milling around. Less busy at this time of night, especially as

:35:20. > :35:27.many people are inside the aquatic centre watching the swimming. In

:35:27. > :35:37.the daytime it is absolutely packed. -- Aquatics Centre. Let's go back

:35:37. > :35:43.to the swimming. Semi-finals coming up a. We will see Tyler Clary in

:35:43. > :35:47.the first of them. He was fast enough to suggest that Michael

:35:47. > :35:52.Phelps does not train very hard. The Americans have had a good night

:35:52. > :35:57.so far. We have just seen Missy Franklin picking up hair gold medal

:35:57. > :36:04.and she was very emotional. Amazing from her. It shows you how much it

:36:04. > :36:10.means to her. Coming in here, she was the new Michael Phelps. A men

:36:10. > :36:18.have always dominated. She is still only 17. Having that swim before

:36:18. > :36:22.the 200m freestyle. She then stepped up and did what everyone

:36:22. > :36:32.thought Emily Seebohm was going to do. And I thought Emily Seebohm

:36:32. > :36:41.

:36:41. > :36:47.would do it. Missy Franklin is really personable and a wonderful

:36:47. > :36:51.speaker. I went to watch her press conference. Michael Phelps has his

:36:51. > :36:57.own press conference, so you get him first four half-an-hour. Then

:36:57. > :37:01.you get a line-up. She is absolutely brilliant it would the

:37:01. > :37:08.press. A lot of them are asking her questions about Colorado where she

:37:08. > :37:14.comes from, because of the shooting at the Batman film. She said I just

:37:14. > :37:18.want to make mistakes proud. Colorado is at altitude, she lives

:37:18. > :37:24.and trains at altitude. The interesting thing is, in America

:37:24. > :37:29.Michael Phelps went professional. He is obviously a very good summer.

:37:29. > :37:38.She decided she wanted to go to college. If she goes to college she

:37:38. > :37:45.cannot take any money. If she takes sponsorship then you cannot go to

:37:45. > :37:55.university. Michael Phelps Serb, I have given her mind number and said,

:37:55. > :37:57.

:37:57. > :38:02.but you want any advice please call. But she has not called. Tyler

:38:02. > :38:07.Phelps said he suggested that Michael Phelps does not train a lot

:38:07. > :38:12.and get by on his talent. And when he was asked about that, Michael

:38:12. > :38:21.Phelps said, yes he came in, sat on my bed and just talked about.

:38:21. > :38:31.Apparently there was a falling out beforehand. So the Michael Phelps

:38:31. > :38:39.gets here for the 400 individual medley and pushes Clary out.

:38:39. > :38:45.The other interesting thing is Laszlo Chen. He did not make it

:38:45. > :38:50.into the 400m individual medley. He thought he had done enough, and

:38:50. > :38:54.thought he had made the final. is one of these things in the early

:38:54. > :38:59.rounds. The last three heats with the best athletes, eight going

:38:59. > :39:08.through. He thought if I stay near Michael Phelps, and the first two

:39:08. > :39:18.will go through to the final. Big mistake, ended up 9th. This was a

:39:18. > :39:57.

:39:57. > :40:01.just talking, thinking maybe the big men in this race, all five of

:40:01. > :40:05.them thinking one of us can get a silver medal, one can get the

:40:05. > :40:12.bronze medal because Michael Phelps will take the gold. So let's see

:40:12. > :40:17.who will take the other medals. Michael Phelps goes in the second

:40:17. > :40:22.semi-final. I bet that they were all thinking silver. I think right

:40:22. > :40:28.now and they are thinking, let me get in the middle lane. I want to

:40:28. > :40:32.be a favourite. It seems like the gold medal could be up for grabs.

:40:32. > :40:39.Everyone waiting for the second one to see where Michael Phelps is.

:40:39. > :40:44.This does reflect the depth of the 200 free. It has moved on from

:40:45. > :40:51.Shanghai, the World Championships last year. The first semi-final of

:40:51. > :41:01.the men's 200-metre butterfly. Tyler clary is the fastest men's

:41:01. > :41:01.

:41:01. > :41:11.summer. -- swimmer. From the World Championships last year we at the

:41:11. > :41:30.

:41:30. > :41:33.silver, the bronze, the 4th on the Athens. You have five or six

:41:33. > :41:42.swimmers in the middle who now believe the gold medal could

:41:42. > :41:52.actually be in reach of one of them. Look at that, they are so close.

:41:52. > :41:55.

:41:55. > :42:05.Tyler Clary turning first. So close, it is ridiculous. Less than 0.2

:42:05. > :42:15.other second separating the first five. This third 50 will separate

:42:15. > :42:30.

:42:30. > :42:40.them out a bit. It is still very You have to try and conserve a bit

:42:40. > :42:54.

:42:54. > :43:00.to be comfortably through, but he was only 5th. Tyler Clary was only

:43:00. > :43:09.4th. We will have to look at the times. I think the second semi-

:43:09. > :43:16.final, you will get people going 1.54 0.5. Maybe three or four of

:43:16. > :43:21.them. I think paying might have done enough. It is interesting.

:43:21. > :43:31.Maybe they all watching each other, but paying dying a little bit

:43:31. > :43:53.

:43:53. > :44:00.towards the end. To Sheekey Matsuda opportunity for these guys. Michael

:44:00. > :44:10.Phelps in lane three. Look in lane two. There are five of them capable

:44:10. > :44:18.

:44:18. > :44:21.of doing the sub 1.55. It is quite unusual for a seeded heat, the

:44:21. > :44:31.fastest guys of the last three heats, but only one person to make

:44:31. > :45:01.

:45:01. > :45:04.Michael Phelps. Here a years. He made the final. The Austrian it was

:45:04. > :45:14.next to Michael Phelps in the heat. They were in the same heats this

:45:14. > :45:23.

:45:23. > :45:33.morning. The Surbean is also strong. A trained in the United Aaron its.

:45:33. > :45:45.

:45:45. > :45:54.Second Japanese man in the semi- years ago. Three the Russian, 7th

:45:54. > :46:00.in Athens. A lot of people capable of doing well. There is Michael

:46:00. > :46:10.Phelps, he looks in good shape. He really does. I wonder if swimming

:46:10. > :46:20.

:46:20. > :46:30.slow a butterfly just doesn't suit him. There is lane for, Dinko Jukic.

:46:30. > :46:32.

:46:32. > :46:37.Europeans, worlds. The second semi- final of the men's 200m butterfly.

:46:37. > :46:41.Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympian with his eight gold medals

:46:41. > :46:47.in eight days in Beijing, what a fantastic performance. He looks

:46:47. > :46:54.much better in lane three. You can't quite see him, there is the

:46:54. > :47:02.ominous black hat in lane three. The Japanese swimmer had a great

:47:02. > :47:09.start. Going deep again. Michael Phelps is in good position. He is

:47:09. > :47:19.in lane three. In lane five, he is dilly exactly what he did in the

:47:19. > :47:19.

:47:19. > :47:27.heats. -- in doing exactly. He held on to this, he is working really

:47:27. > :47:36.hard. Lane one, the Hungarian takes it out first. Michael Phelps looks

:47:37. > :47:40.good. A bit off the pace. I don't think it is a good swim for him.

:47:40. > :47:44.55.0 at the turn, need to start moving. It looks like he is

:47:44. > :47:48.starting to. Doesn't look quite as smooth as he has done in the past

:47:48. > :47:58.but he is moving through. The Serbian at the centre, still going

:47:58. > :48:13.

:48:13. > :48:23.Laszio Cseh is doing well next to him. This is a very interesting

:48:23. > :48:25.

:48:25. > :48:35.race. Phelps looks like he will do OK. A coming back very fast. Very

:48:35. > :48:36.

:48:36. > :48:45.clever. Not too bad. It looks like he is hurting a little bit. He wins

:48:45. > :48:51.the second semi-final of the men's 200m butterfly, only to swimmers

:48:51. > :48:55.sub 1.55, that surprised me, they knew what they had to do. Laszio

:48:56. > :49:00.Cseh, seven. He is out. He looks like for them have qualified for

:49:00. > :49:10.the final. Pretty unusual in a way. It has gone to form, to some kind

:49:10. > :49:14.

:49:14. > :49:24.of form, anyway. Look at Laszio Cseh. He was seven. -- 7thth. Look

:49:24. > :49:32.

:49:32. > :49:36.time. That's what they are for, they have got to look after their

:49:36. > :49:44.boys. Massive support from others around the world. Michael Phelps

:49:44. > :49:54.winning the second semi-final of the men's 200m butterfly. Dinko

:49:54. > :50:02.Jukic second, he made up make the final. Is she going to get an

:50:02. > :50:11.interview with Michael Phelps? I was one grit out loud and hadn't

:50:11. > :50:20.realised you were listening. These are the qualifiers. Michael Phelps,

:50:20. > :50:25.This is probably the event closest to your heart.

:50:25. > :50:30.I made my first Olympic team in this 12 years ago. The most

:50:30. > :50:33.important thing was getting through to tomorrow night, I am fine with

:50:33. > :50:38.that. I probably did the wrong thing by trying to check my split

:50:38. > :50:42.at the 100 going into the 150 and saw I was out pretty slow. Have to

:50:42. > :50:47.think of a different strategy for tomorrow.

:50:47. > :50:49.A great sprint form. The shorter events are a lot better

:50:49. > :50:59.for me right now than the longer ones.

:50:59. > :51:03.

:51:03. > :51:11.descends, fantastic views in the park. The orbit tower alongside the

:51:11. > :51:21.stadium, that is our little studio there. Give them away? I don't know

:51:21. > :51:22.

:51:22. > :51:26.where the camera is, everybody else What do you make of Michael Phelps?

:51:26. > :51:30.I am might -- I am impressed with his ears.

:51:30. > :51:35.It is a much better swim than the heat swim. His hips are a little

:51:35. > :51:38.bit out, from what I have seen hints when previously. At their

:51:38. > :51:43.fastest speed he looked a lot better than he did in the heat. For

:51:43. > :51:47.me, looking at the Japanese woman who came second in the world

:51:47. > :51:52.championships last year, -- Japanese swimmer. The South African,

:51:52. > :51:57.he was looking towards the end of the race to worker what position he

:51:57. > :52:02.was in and then went I will come in second. He is an interesting one.

:52:02. > :52:05.Talking about Phelps, his hips are out.

:52:05. > :52:11.Hips are out slightly, moving a little bit more than I have seen

:52:12. > :52:15.them move. It has more to do with where his position of his head is.

:52:15. > :52:19.It just means he is moving more like this through the water, he

:52:19. > :52:25.used to sit on top, almost jump over the top of the water. Just

:52:25. > :52:30.slightly out. Just a little bit, the more resistant, fatigue you a

:52:30. > :52:33.little bit quicker. His time was marginally faster than a tiler,

:52:33. > :52:36.they could be swimming alongside each other. With their history if

:52:36. > :52:39.that could be interesting. They will not be alongside each

:52:39. > :52:44.other because they were too close. If there was an extra person they

:52:44. > :52:48.would be. This is a good bit of rivalry, we like the rivalries

:52:48. > :52:53.between the Americans, had fully appraised if we us his advantage.

:52:53. > :52:59.He was out of order. He really was. Michael Phelps, 14

:52:59. > :53:04.gold medals, Tiler, he had zero. Even if there is a history, it is

:53:04. > :53:07.something you don't say publicly, you can hold your opinion. Say it

:53:07. > :53:15.within the team, to your friends, whatever else but you don't have a

:53:15. > :53:18.go at Michael Phelps when you don't have the accomplishments he has.

:53:18. > :53:21.Back to Eton Dorney and things are livening up in the rowing. In

:53:21. > :53:25.today's heats the and for Britain in the women's double sculls with

:53:25. > :53:35.returns of a medallist Katherine Grainger with her partner Anna

:53:35. > :53:38.

:53:38. > :53:42.Watkins. Can she finally get that sculling. On the far side you have

:53:42. > :53:49.got their coach coming down, look at the crowd. We come up to was the

:53:49. > :53:53.1,500m mark. -- towards. 500 to go now, they have opened up a

:53:53. > :53:59.significant gap, that is the expectation they keep the rate hike,

:53:59. > :54:06.Great Britain are through, Anna Watkins and Katherine Grainger.

:54:06. > :54:10.They are pushing along to make sure they keep their distance. As she

:54:10. > :54:17.has done from the very first strike. Look at the expression on Katherine

:54:17. > :54:20.Grainger, a woman on a mission. I can read out her history of rowing,

:54:20. > :54:27.six World Rowing Championship gold medals, three Olympic silver medals,

:54:27. > :54:32.all of which completely irrelevant. She is chasing that elusive medal

:54:32. > :54:36.not yet in the collection, the Olympic gold medal, they are doing

:54:36. > :54:40.everything in his opening heat to lay down a marker to say they are

:54:40. > :54:45.the crew to beat. They will only be Australia who come down in the next

:54:45. > :54:50.heat that will get anywhere near them, an impressive start here, at

:54:50. > :54:57.Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins from Great Britain.

:54:57. > :55:00.Nobody beside him, completely clear run, an adoring crowd. They took a

:55:00. > :55:10.quick glance to the right, see the big screen, see exactly where they

:55:10. > :55:12.

:55:12. > :55:19.are. Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins getting the biggest cheer

:55:19. > :55:24.from the crowd. A wonderful combination, fantastic. There is

:55:24. > :55:28.only one race to go, the her Olympic final, they have done

:55:28. > :55:34.absolutely everything that has been asked of them, up to the line, over

:55:34. > :55:38.safely. The crowd around their feet. The flags going mad. Katherine

:55:38. > :55:44.Granger and Anna Watkins into the Olympic final. Totally dominant,

:55:44. > :55:47.fantastic performance, they got what they wanted.

:55:47. > :55:53.An Olympic record to beat, he surely it is time for Katherine

:55:53. > :55:57.Grainger. Look at that spectacular skyline. Past our studio, lots of

:55:57. > :56:02.people milling around, enjoying the atmosphere, enjoying the

:56:02. > :56:05.spectacular view of the stadium. Just to the left of that you will

:56:05. > :56:15.see the Aquatics Centre. There it is, that little blue light on the

:56:15. > :56:17.

:56:17. > :56:22.edge of it. It is a spectacular place. What about Mr Ian Thorpe?

:56:22. > :56:29.We have a man with verse celebrating a gold medal. He is the

:56:29. > :56:32.coach of the Lithuanian who won Tennis history, how did you come

:56:32. > :56:36.across her, when did you come to the UK?

:56:36. > :56:41.She came to the UK about three years ago, her father moved to

:56:41. > :56:45.Plymouth for a change of lifestyle. He got himself settled, got a job

:56:45. > :56:49.and a house, then brought her over a couple of months later. I think

:56:49. > :56:54.he knew we had a good swimming programme so that was one of the

:56:54. > :56:59.main reasons, as well as the south- west being a lovely place to live.

:56:59. > :57:03.I saw her swim about three years ago, she came as a free Styler, and

:57:03. > :57:09.we thought, well, let's have a look at what else she can do. Her

:57:09. > :57:14.breaststroke was pretty tidy. How have you managed to find the

:57:14. > :57:19.improvement that she can come here tonight and win a gold medal?

:57:19. > :57:23.A lot of different things. A big swim around the one a five mark has

:57:23. > :57:28.been brewing for a while, it was just a case of her putting all the

:57:28. > :57:34.elements together. She is a great talent but she is also an extremely

:57:34. > :57:40.vigilant and conscientious worker. When you get talent and work ethic,

:57:40. > :57:47.you have got the ideal mix. What is the difference between a

:57:47. > :57:54.lot of 12 euros, what made her so different to other 12 year-olds?

:57:54. > :57:59.I don't know if there is a market you can take, everything about her

:57:59. > :58:03.-- for box left and tape. Her work in the gym, her attention to detail,

:58:03. > :58:08.she is conscientious about a nutrition and how she rests, and

:58:08. > :58:12.Plymouth College, there is a partnership between the club and

:58:12. > :58:16.the school, they do a fantastic job in making sure she is looked after

:58:17. > :58:21.well in the classroom, medical facilities, everything she needs.

:58:21. > :58:26.My philosophy with coaching is to leave no stone unturned. And we

:58:26. > :58:32.have done that with her. The college and the club have been

:58:32. > :58:36.together -- work together in doing everything they need. A canny do

:58:36. > :58:40.the same thing for 12-year-old British girls? I will do my best.

:58:40. > :58:50.Have you had calls from anybody at home, we thought to gentleman with

:58:50. > :58:52.the few in -- with the Lithuanian flags. Any reaction? The President

:58:52. > :58:57.of Lithuania is here, like the equivalent of the Queen. I didn't

:58:57. > :59:04.realise who she was at first, I realised it was the President of

:59:04. > :59:07.Lithuania. They are over the moon. It is a long time since they have

:59:07. > :59:13.won a medal in the swimming pool, they are a small but very proud

:59:13. > :59:17.country. She is very proud of being a Lithuanian, she feels look --

:59:17. > :59:21.extremely passionate about her country, very loyal. It is always

:59:21. > :59:25.an honour for her to represent them and an honour for me. They are a

:59:25. > :59:31.wonderful group of people. Very kind and considerate.

:59:31. > :59:36.Is that it for her this week? She is down to do a 53 and a 100

:59:36. > :59:40.free but who knows? Depends how she is after this evening. She looks a

:59:40. > :59:45.bit shocked at the moment, she stumbled off to a drug test as all

:59:45. > :59:48.of the top guys do. I hope she has got a smile on her face by the

:59:48. > :59:52.medal ceremony but the plan is days when this week -- freestyle event,

:59:52. > :59:57.she is good at them, certainly good for her age other world-ranking,

:59:57. > :00:00.probably not good enough to make a final, but it would be nice to see

:00:00. > :00:04.her swim best times. Did you think coming in she had an

:00:04. > :00:09.opportunity to do that all was it a case of let's try to get to the

:00:09. > :00:15.semi-finals or finals? I didn't know what anybody else was going to

:00:15. > :00:20.do. At an Olympic Games it is a funny place. All we did was

:00:20. > :00:24.concentrate on her process. She is amazing at this, blanking

:00:24. > :00:28.everything out, just concentrating on her race, her process, what she

:00:28. > :00:34.has to do, she doesn't want me to talk about what anybody else's --

:00:34. > :00:38.strength some witnesses are. -- strengths and weaknesses are. She

:00:38. > :00:48.has done that, no different, exactly the same preparation, just

:00:48. > :00:50.

:00:50. > :00:57.Well done to Ruta who coped so well with that false start, which would

:00:57. > :01:04.have blown most people's minds. There is Gloriana, the rowing boat

:01:04. > :01:09.that led the queen's Diamond Jubilee and came down the Thames

:01:09. > :01:12.with the torch. And the volunteers, I have to say they have been

:01:12. > :01:18.fabulous and they may not necessarily always know where

:01:19. > :01:24.everything is, but they're incredibly friendly and they, as

:01:24. > :01:32.you leave, they say have a nice evening and see us again. That

:01:32. > :01:36.spotted area is pedestrians only. The other areas are for electric

:01:36. > :01:42.buggies. It is a beautiful place at night and a very lovely place

:01:42. > :01:46.during the day and you can look at the flowers. Burr we have two more

:01:46. > :01:53.semi-finals. The first is interesting, because it features

:01:54. > :02:00.Hannah Miley. She finished fifth in the 400. Now half the distance, her

:02:00. > :02:05.main task is to get to the final. Yes it is her event. She will be

:02:05. > :02:12.disappointed because the time she did at trials would have got her a

:02:12. > :02:22.medal. It is a pure sprint and she has to get in there, have a go and

:02:22. > :02:23.

:02:23. > :02:33.who knows? Maybe the 400 wasn't the event. Kirsty Coventry is in this

:02:33. > :02:35.

:02:35. > :02:42.first semi final. She has been an first semi final. She has been an

:02:42. > :02:48.amazing swimmer. Here is our commentator. Great. Interesting she

:02:48. > :02:58.has chosen to keep her ear phones in. I think I would just suck up

:02:58. > :02:59.

:02:59. > :03:05.that energy from that massive cheer. Kirsty Coventry, we almost adopted

:03:05. > :03:15.her as our favourite lady at that Championship in Manchester. She has

:03:15. > :03:36.

:03:36. > :03:46.had some big knee injuries. I was impressed with her heat swim. There

:03:46. > :03:51.

:03:51. > :04:01.is Ivry of Israel. She swum a very good heat. Melo of Brazil come

:04:01. > :04:12.

:04:12. > :04:18.pleeths the line up. -- completes the line up. Miley is in lane two.

:04:18. > :04:28.These women swim your own race and get a good one. Because they will

:04:28. > :04:32.

:04:32. > :04:42.be going quickly in the next one. Nice and quiet at the start. The

:04:42. > :04:44.

:04:44. > :04:52.first semi-final of the 2 hundred m. The swimmer from Israel is doing

:04:52. > :04:56.well in lane seven. She is a big strong swimmer and very good on

:04:56. > :05:04.this first length. Kirsty Coventry hanging back. She is not very good

:05:04. > :05:08.at that, but very good at backstroke. Hosszu is up there as

:05:08. > :05:12.well. Miley is in the middle of those three and will find it

:05:12. > :05:19.difficult in the we gin -- beginning. This isn't her strongest

:05:19. > :05:22.event. The 400 is. I think she was disappointed with that. It will be

:05:23. > :05:29.tough to qualify for the final. But she is a real fighter and this is a

:05:29. > :05:37.good position for her. She has got a strong breaststroke. If she gets

:05:38. > :05:45.near top five, where is she? She is in fifth. 62.05 she turned in. And

:05:45. > :05:50.that the British record that she set is 62.01. She has a good

:05:50. > :05:57.breaststroke. There she is, the red hat of Hannah Miley. The rest of

:05:57. > :06:06.the field have a good free style. But she is going very well.

:06:06. > :06:16.this is about top two or top three time. The field is there. Hosszu

:06:16. > :06:20.

:06:20. > :06:26.has a great free style in five. Bell Monday Tay, watch out for her.

:06:26. > :06:31.-- Belmonte. Miley is on the right and Miley with the red hat.

:06:31. > :06:37.Coventry is coming back and Hosszu in five. If she could get in third

:06:37. > :06:43.position, that would be useful. Coming back Isabel Monday Tay of

:06:43. > :06:47.Spain. She has got second. Very good. Well I cannot believe that

:06:47. > :06:53.seven swimmers from the second swimmers will go faster than that.

:06:53. > :06:59.In which case, Hannah Miley has swum herself into the final of the

:06:59. > :07:05.200 medley. That was a really good swim. Shaking off that 400 and

:07:05. > :07:09.getting into a real full on sprint. But they will have been prepared

:07:09. > :07:16.for both. Hannah and her father will have prepared for both. Hannah

:07:16. > :07:26.did a really good job on the breaststroke and holding off, I was

:07:26. > :07:27.

:07:27. > :07:33.surprised at Belmonte. A very good finish. Often that can get you into

:07:33. > :07:38.a final. In this situation, she is going to get through comfortably.

:07:38. > :07:48.Hosszu wins the first semi-final, Miley is second and Coventry is

:07:48. > :07:49.

:07:49. > :07:57.third. You have probably got five who are capable of going 2.10.

:07:57. > :08:07.will put her in lane one for the final. That would be final by me.

:08:07. > :08:14.

:08:14. > :08:18.The second semi-final. We talked of 2.10 and you got it. Yes hopefully

:08:19. > :08:22.that is good enough to make a final. The others have an advantage. But

:08:22. > :08:28.I'm pleased with that. My strokes are coming together. A bit of speed

:08:28. > :08:36.and I got a bit faster. I'm happy with that. And I couldn't have

:08:36. > :08:40.asked for anything more. It is unlikely five will go under that

:08:40. > :08:45.time. Is it nice not to have the pressure? Yes, well anything can

:08:45. > :08:49.happen in the Olympics. You never know. All eight may go faster.

:08:50. > :08:54.Goivt to keep my head on and think I may not have made it. But if I do,

:08:54. > :08:59.I have go tot think of preparing myself for the final. It is great

:08:59. > :09:09.to be part of the home crowd and hopefully get to watch these next

:09:09. > :09:11.

:09:11. > :09:19.guy and see how they go. You will make it. See you tomorrow. This

:09:19. > :09:24.young lady has caused a stir. Shiwen of China is just 16. Won the

:09:24. > :09:34.400 individual medley in a new world record. But her free style

:09:34. > :09:37.

:09:37. > :09:41.leg is special. The last 50, it is the fastest split. People have been

:09:41. > :09:51.challenging that. There is the world record holder on the 200

:09:51. > :09:58.

:09:58. > :10:03.medley. She did go faster than Ryan's last 50. These world, was

:10:03. > :10:08.the world champion on the 200 metres free style. But she beat the

:10:08. > :10:14.gold medallist, the silver medallists and two of the other

:10:14. > :10:17.finalists. So she beat four of the finest in the men's medley. It is

:10:17. > :10:25.interesting. We have seen a 15- year-old win the breaststroke and

:10:25. > :10:35.it can happen. We don't know. has never happened in history. This

:10:35. > :10:43.

:10:43. > :10:53.is the second semi-final. Coutts is a common wealth champion. Rice is

:10:53. > :10:54.

:10:54. > :11:04.in two. Ye of China is in one. Two Americans in five and six,

:11:04. > :11:05.

:11:05. > :11:14.including the world record holder, cue Corrs. Ye when it gets to free

:11:15. > :11:20.style, she will blow them away. Coutts is strong and you can't

:11:20. > :11:27.write her off. She has had a lot of illnesses in the last three years

:11:27. > :11:34.and battled through every one of them to make it here. Against the

:11:34. > :11:40.16-year-old. Leverenz is an interesting character. A good

:11:40. > :11:50.breaststroke, but poor streamlining. I have been surprised with her.

:11:50. > :11:52.

:11:52. > :12:02.is the American college champion. That was the half way turn. Now the

:12:02. > :12:11.Brest and free style to come. Kukors, you can almost see her at

:12:11. > :12:16.the top of that shot. Look at the long glide there. I don't think you

:12:16. > :12:25.can glide that long any more. You have to sprint. Lever repbz has

:12:25. > :12:32.caught her up. -- Leverenz has caught her up. Better streamlining

:12:32. > :12:37.than in her heats this morning. she can do the time she finished

:12:37. > :12:42.the 400 medley, it will be a world record. She looks comfortable and

:12:42. > :12:48.she is starting to women away. Not kicking that much. Well she is a

:12:48. > :12:54.full body length ahead. Let's swhree the world record, how it

:12:54. > :13:01.goes. Just outside maybe. A new Olympic record and it looks very

:13:01. > :13:06.comfortable. Ye wins that second semi-final of the women's 200

:13:06. > :13:14.individual medley. Second was Coutts. Looked fairly ordinary and

:13:14. > :13:19.lever repbz third. Rice was third and that beats her Olympic record.

:13:19. > :13:29.She has been off form and won't make the final with that one. It

:13:29. > :13:30.

:13:30. > :13:35.will be close though. I think Hannah Miley. She has made it in,

:13:35. > :13:41.you're right. She is checking the computer and Rice does get in, in

:13:41. > :13:50.sixth place. Only Hannah Miley and Coventry in position. Here is the

:13:50. > :13:57.replay of what you must assume will be the favourite for that double

:13:57. > :14:04.200 and 400 medley. So the winner of the second semi-final for the

:14:04. > :14:10.women's 200 medley,y Shiwen of China. Rice will make the final

:14:10. > :14:15.with fifth. So five from that semi through to the final. Five from

:14:15. > :14:22.that semi in the top six fastest times. It was a faster semi and

:14:22. > :14:25.this lady pulled them all along. Here are the qualifier. Shiwen goes

:14:25. > :14:31.in faster. I think we will see fireworks from her tomorrow. Miley

:14:31. > :14:40.is in seventh. Well done Hannah Miley, that is very good for her

:14:40. > :14:43.second event. Ye continuing to swim very well and trying to add another

:14:43. > :14:48.very well and trying to add another gold medal. She will be hot

:14:48. > :14:53.favourite tomorrow. But it will feature Hannah Miley and we have

:14:53. > :14:58.Caitlyn McClatchey tomorrow. How do you assess the meet for the British

:14:58. > :15:04.swimmers? It has been great. We would love a handful of medals, but

:15:04. > :15:09.on paper, Becky was on a big chance, Hannah has a chance. But we have

:15:09. > :15:13.had ten final and if I go back to 2000 in Sydney, 12 years ago, we

:15:13. > :15:18.had four in the whole of the eight Kay -- days. Now we have had ten in

:15:18. > :15:23.the first three days. It shows you how much improvement has been done

:15:23. > :15:27.and once you get people into finals, then you can possibly get into the

:15:27. > :15:33.medals. One of the great things that all of the swimmers come and

:15:33. > :15:39.they support each other and stand there and scream each other and the

:15:39. > :15:44.two women today have been Missy Franklin winning her first gold

:15:44. > :15:54.medal and Meilutyte winning hearse at the age of 15. Here is

:15:54. > :16:09.

:16:09. > :16:15.Michael Phelps could win two gold medals tomorrow. Tomorrow could be

:16:15. > :16:22.the day that he sets the all-time record for the most medals won at

:16:22. > :16:27.Olympics over the years. Thank you very much. Spectacular

:16:27. > :16:32.scenes over London. Beautiful stuff. A great place to have the Olympics,

:16:32. > :16:36.we think. How would you sum the swimming up? Tonight was a good

:16:37. > :16:45.night. Some exciting performances. I think it was great Hannah Miley

:16:45. > :16:49.got through. Another smile on her face. And Shiwen Ye looks

:16:49. > :16:56.invincible? The yes, she has had an incredible Olympic Games. She

:16:57. > :17:00.obviously had an incredible drop in time. She is an age groups were now.

:17:00. > :17:06.They take chunks of their time they you cannot do when you reach your

:17:06. > :17:11.twenties and things like that. I think this was a great win for her

:17:11. > :17:18.tonight. She will go through is the absolute favourite. I saw Alicia

:17:18. > :17:23.Coutts. I was a bit surprised with the Emily Seebohm result. I have

:17:23. > :17:30.enjoyed your company, as always. It is 24 years since Great Britain's

:17:30. > :17:40.men won hockey gold in Seoul. They make their Olympic bow against

:17:40. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:56.Argentina and they were watched by That two teams take the field.

:17:56. > :18:06.Great Britain in the white strip. Argentina in blue. That is the

:18:09. > :18:19.substitutes' inaccurate -- inadequate because they are a part

:22:13. > :22:18.The goalkeeper saved it. There was no mistaking his shot. Controlled

:23:52. > :23:58.everything was epergne about that. they wanted. That really was a very

:23:58. > :24:04.well-worked goal. Middleton could not get space, cut it back in. That

:25:28. > :25:34.by Vivaldi. Back come Great Britain again. We see it again, he gets the

:25:34. > :25:44.ball here, fires it in off the foot, a penalty corner. Number two for

:25:44. > :25:54.

:25:54. > :26:04.Great Britain. Smith poised. And he time, he kept it low in the corner.

:26:04. > :26:25.

:26:25. > :26:32.Tough for the keeper. No chance. over the stick, that is nice. He is

:26:33. > :26:40.probably right. Smith's strike made the ball go higher. He could not do

:26:40. > :26:45.anything about that one. It was the same place that Smith put it, down

:26:45. > :26:52.that Channel, it is really good -- really hard for the goalkeeper to

:26:52. > :27:02.get out on a ball. I think he might have taken a slight deflection from

:27:02. > :27:02.

:27:02. > :27:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

:27:45. > :27:50.A great win for Great Britain sees Let's turn our attention to

:27:50. > :28:00.gymnastics. Britain's men qualified third best. A brilliant effort and

:28:00. > :28:13.

:28:13. > :28:23.it would need something equally This is going to be a corker of a

:28:23. > :28:46.

:28:46. > :28:54.competition. Will Luis go all-out handstands, making absolutely sure

:28:54. > :28:59.of them. A very solid start. Secure on the one handle, you'll know if

:28:59. > :29:09.he is going to do one of these. He went for the slightly easier

:29:09. > :29:26.

:29:27. > :29:33.routine. This is a team job from Smith. He is off with a flourish! A

:29:33. > :29:43.massive routine and surely a massive score? Great Britain off to

:29:43. > :29:50.

:29:50. > :29:56.Britain. Slightly down on his execution score but my word, he

:29:56. > :30:01.wanted a big score like that in this final. Look at that, Ukraine

:30:01. > :30:11.lead, Great Britain with Japan in third and Russia outside of the

:30:11. > :30:30.

:30:30. > :30:36.a half twists. He is super. Great Ayrial - aerial awareness. China

:30:36. > :30:45.doing great at the moment. They could be in with a shout with a

:30:45. > :30:49.15.9. Can they retain that Olympic tietsnl Britain's second piece of

:30:49. > :30:54.apparatus. Daniel Purvis. He had a great time on pommel horse, what

:30:54. > :30:59.can he do on rings. I expect Britain to dip on this piece, but

:30:59. > :31:06.they will pull it back. That was a good start from it. He has been

:31:06. > :31:12.such a steady performer for Britain this year. Lifts up into that

:31:12. > :31:20.strength hold. Feet nice and high. Arms straight. Fix the position. He

:31:20. > :31:28.does so. Holds it really well. He is a very stylish gymnast. Up into

:31:28. > :31:34.the hand stand. Controls the top of the swing. Up into the double

:31:34. > :31:44.twisting, double tuck dismount. A big step forward. But a very solid

:31:44. > :31:45.

:31:45. > :31:53.performance. Yamamuro, the last of the Japanese. It all falls quiet in

:31:53. > :31:59.the North Greenwich arena. This to keep Japan in contention for gold.

:31:59. > :32:05.Oh but he really did not get up off that platform properly. Did he do

:32:05. > :32:15.that in qualifying? I think one of them did and he has hurt himself.

:32:15. > :32:16.

:32:16. > :32:20.That is not a good sign for them. Britain's Danielle Purvis, a 14.6.

:32:20. > :32:25.They will be revealed to get rings behind them. They did a good team

:32:25. > :32:31.job. That is a dip, but they will make up for that. And there they

:32:31. > :32:36.are. Still with a smile on his face. But seriously enough to take him

:32:37. > :32:42.out of arena. That is a shame. a pity. That is the situation then

:32:42. > :32:47.actual two pieces of apparatus, China ahead of Ukraine with Japan

:32:47. > :32:53.in third and Britain at the moment in fifth. Britain's first vaulter

:32:54. > :33:03.is Max Whitlock. And he can twist. A little pace to the side, a bit

:33:04. > :33:04.

:33:04. > :33:12.deep on the landing. But a good, safe opener. He will start us off.

:33:12. > :33:22.The third highest qualifier here. He has such a light touch and huge

:33:22. > :33:24.

:33:24. > :33:31.swings. There you are a double tuck. A double pike. That is two doubles.

:33:31. > :33:39.And he is three moves in. There is another difficult skill. A little

:33:39. > :33:48.bit undercooked with the full turn. Such difficulty in this routine.

:33:48. > :33:56.This is lovely. Second hand stand, doesn't want to stop another one.

:33:56. > :34:03.That is what I mean about his light swing. Into double pike from there.

:34:03. > :34:07.And he can kick out. But not today. He kept the pike in. What a time

:34:07. > :34:12.talk China have had over the last few days. They have come in here

:34:12. > :34:17.and they mean business. I tell you what, they don't want to let go of

:34:17. > :34:22.that Olympic gold medal. Kristian Thomas will be the last of

:34:22. > :34:29.Britain's vaulters. Going for broke - lifts, lifts and lands perfectly

:34:29. > :34:33.wow! He could not have done that better. He could not have landed

:34:33. > :34:41.that any better. Fantastic vaulting when it really matters. And he

:34:41. > :34:46.landed on a 16.55. Absolutely massive. Amazing vaulting. So it is

:34:46. > :34:52.China, Japan, Great Britain in third, ahead of Ukraine and ahead

:34:52. > :35:01.of Russia. France are in sixth. Germany she and the United States

:35:01. > :35:08.eighth. The pressure is on John Orozco. Keep them in contention.

:35:08. > :35:14.Oh! No he can't! He really bent his elbows on the top of the platform

:35:14. > :35:22.and plummeted off the top. Well didn't expect that at all that. Is

:35:22. > :35:28.a massive blow. This is Max Whitlock, this is their fourth

:35:29. > :35:35.piece of apparatus and things going very well for Britain. Max scored

:35:35. > :35:41.13.9 in qualification. But he has got a beautiful bodyline. Pushes up

:35:41. > :35:47.into the hand stand. So important that he swings this well. Lovely

:35:47. > :35:57.height. Clean on the catch. Hit and holds that hand stand. Smooth in

:35:57. > :36:04.

:36:04. > :36:10.the full turn. Oh and that was good. A clean lift to hand stand. Control

:36:10. > :36:17.all those nerves. Cuts well. Lifts the hand stand and has to stwing

:36:17. > :36:23.has to lift, has to win. Just a scurry. Yes! That was good work

:36:23. > :36:33.under pressure. That will do nicely. What a performance from the young

:36:33. > :36:33.

:36:33. > :36:39.lad under extreme strain! John Orozco close to tears. 14.6. It's

:36:39. > :36:49.all been lost. The hopes of his nation. Yeah. On his shoulders and

:36:49. > :36:50.

:36:50. > :37:00.it's gone. Sam Oldham is on parallel bars. Lovely start. On

:37:00. > :37:03.

:37:03. > :37:11.with the hand stand. This is lovely swinging. This is good stuff!

:37:11. > :37:20.Hitting the hand stand. And keeping the swing pure. Lovely technique. A

:37:20. > :37:25.tiny little dip. Great in the Healy. Now then, flying back into double

:37:25. > :37:29.pike. A little skip forward, but Sam really working beyond his years.

:37:29. > :37:39.It is a real tough close competition out there. Close indeed

:37:39. > :37:44.as we look at Max Whitlock, a 14.8 for max. The door is opened as the

:37:44. > :37:50.USA faulter. The standings, my word! Great Britain are in third

:37:50. > :37:58.behind Japan and China. All the teams have now vaulted. The USA

:37:58. > :38:08.down in sixth and yaush in fifth. Can they just hang on? -- Russia in

:38:08. > :38:13.

:38:13. > :38:17.fifth. Ukraine behind Great Britain in fourth. They're the chasers.

:38:17. > :38:25.can't believe you're saying this can you? Right up he goes into hand

:38:25. > :38:33.stand. Great technicians, the gymnasts from the Ukraine, swinging

:38:33. > :38:41.beautifully on one handle. It is very smooth. Got the hips well

:38:41. > :38:46.above the handles and there is the big... Walks along, the steps along,

:38:46. > :38:51.they add the difficulty. He has to keep the hands parallel all the

:38:51. > :38:58.time when he is on the horse. Lifts up into the hand stand and that's

:38:58. > :39:03.smooth. Well, job done that was a good start. Sorry to gasp in the

:39:03. > :39:11.middle of that routine. But I have to bring you the news that Sam

:39:11. > :39:17.Oldham has just come off high bar. And this is what happened. There we

:39:17. > :39:27.are. So clean. Great start to the routine. One and a half twists. All

:39:27. > :39:29.

:39:29. > :39:36.going well. There is the problem in the cross hand. One hand on and the

:39:36. > :39:46.other hand wild. What a pity. ever you need to rely on Kristian

:39:46. > :39:54.Thomas, now is the time. He is such an incredible performer under the

:39:54. > :39:59.extremist -- extremest of Britishs. -- pressures. Well he did it in the

:39:59. > :40:09.Europeans, the gymnast before him sat the dismount out. He needs to

:40:09. > :40:16.

:40:16. > :40:20.focus. Nicely twisting around there. A full turn. Clean and steady. Keep

:40:20. > :40:29.your focus. Cross hands. He swings out beautifully. This is so

:40:29. > :40:35.important. A full turn and a bit close to the bar. Playing safe. Now

:40:35. > :40:39.stick it. Thank you very much! Me's done the job and made good some of

:40:39. > :40:49.damage. Terrific from Kristian Thomas. Look at the reaction in the

:40:49. > :40:51.

:40:52. > :41:01.crowd. What a job when it was really, rally needed. 15.2. Job

:41:01. > :41:07.done! 14.866 for the craw Ukrainian. It is a race for bronze between

:41:07. > :41:17.Great Britain and the Ukraine. Kohei Uchimura on floor. The battle

:41:17. > :41:22.

:41:22. > :41:32.for gold with China. A car tris tick shrug of the shoulders and he

:41:32. > :41:33.

:41:33. > :41:41.is away. And super twisting to start the routine. Lovely height.

:41:41. > :41:51.So stylish. So able to control his landings. Lovely full twist. Into

:41:51. > :41:52.

:41:52. > :42:02.double twist. Ooh super speed of twisting. He is so aware of where

:42:02. > :42:04.

:42:04. > :42:08.he is in the air. Lovely tight body. Every single skill is performed

:42:08. > :42:14.almost perfectly. Feet always stretched, arms always straight.

:42:14. > :42:19.Here we go. Rolls out with control. Nothing ever looks stressed and

:42:19. > :42:25.that is the mark of a great gymnast. You can have a look to the side to

:42:25. > :42:35.see how much time left. Here we go, up into the air, triple twist. That

:42:35. > :42:41.

:42:41. > :42:49.was a great job for his team. score a 44.733 on floor. So China

:42:49. > :42:59.lead, Japan second, Ukraine third, Britain fourth. Just 0. 248 behind

:42:59. > :43:07.Ukraine. Max Whitlock with a chance to get Britain a medal in this

:43:07. > :43:14.men's team final. Three and a half twists, full fists with a foot out.

:43:14. > :43:22.But only a tenth. Don't panic. Two and a half twists. This guy can

:43:22. > :43:26.twist. Highs is o' - this is huge for him. It is important and nice

:43:26. > :43:31.little touch. Let's see if he feels the confidence to spin off one hand

:43:31. > :43:37.to make the one turn. There it is. Beautifully done. Lovely stuff and

:43:37. > :43:45.he is on fire. He is going through very quickly. Just needs to settle

:43:45. > :43:53.down. The Japanese hand stand gives him a pace on the routine. Take a

:43:53. > :43:58.bred e breath. Hit this next tumble. Two and a half twists. It is

:43:58. > :44:04.beautiful stuff. Now then... Stand it up. Stand it up. The crowd is

:44:04. > :44:11.with you. He is up on the triple twist. That is a beautiful routine.

:44:11. > :44:16.Well done Max. Just one little error. But wow, wow, wow! This is

:44:16. > :44:26.going to be close. It is going to go to the wire. It is indeed. But

:44:26. > :44:30.if I had someone I wanted starting on it would be Max Whitlock. 15.166

:44:30. > :44:40.for Max Whitlock. Fabulous start. Just what the doctor ordered.

:44:40. > :44:52.

:44:52. > :44:58.Thumbs up. Yes indeed, young man. enough to do it. But it always had

:44:58. > :45:05.to be done. How many times have we seen the last man faulter? He is

:45:05. > :45:15.good and he is high. He is showing good style. Multiple circles on the

:45:15. > :45:16.

:45:16. > :45:26.handle. Going for his routine. Fast, stylish, up into the hand stand and

:45:26. > :45:38.

:45:38. > :45:48.that's the gold medal. Everyone of just needs to remain calm. Just

:45:48. > :45:51.

:45:51. > :46:01.keep it focused. Focus on this. Good handspring double pike. A very

:46:01. > :46:02.

:46:02. > :46:09.important landing. He twist so well. Another great landing. He has to

:46:09. > :46:19.just keep his focus which is a lot easier said than done here. He is

:46:19. > :46:35.

:46:35. > :46:45.handstand. Superb! This is a blind landing on the final tumble. He has

:46:45. > :46:49.

:46:49. > :46:56.to really focus. And he does, that was fabulous! Unbelievable! What a

:46:56. > :47:06.performance! Hold your hats, here is the second gymnast from the

:47:06. > :47:15.

:47:15. > :47:20.performance. He has to hold those strength moves. They are very well

:47:20. > :47:30.coached, the team from Ukraine. They have been promising match all

:47:30. > :47:47.

:47:47. > :47:54.season. They have waited to this the next handstand. He cannot have

:47:54. > :48:04.done more. This is a fight for bronze like you could never believe.

:48:04. > :48:14.Mykola Kuksenikov scored a 15.233. Daniel Purvis, it is a massive

:48:14. > :48:16.

:48:17. > :48:22.15.533. Now Japan fight for silver. Japan have had an interesting day.

:48:22. > :48:30.But they are still at the races. This is important if they want to

:48:30. > :48:40.hang on to the silver medal. That is a whole marker away. It is

:48:40. > :48:42.

:48:42. > :48:45.hugely important now. That is crucial. Come on, Kristian Thomas.

:48:45. > :48:55.Be Great Britain in with a chance of a bronze medal in this Olympic

:48:55. > :49:07.

:49:07. > :49:17.landing. You could see him wrestling with the emotion, keeping

:49:17. > :49:49.

:49:49. > :49:57.the noise out. He is going better young man. This is down to you. A

:49:57. > :50:02.double Arabian, that is just what was needed. Fantastic work. They

:50:02. > :50:12.have given the Ukrainians a huge target. Kristian Thomas, you why

:50:12. > :50:39.

:50:39. > :50:47.bronze in the men's team final at the Olympics! All eyes are on the

:50:47. > :50:56.board, I cannot believe it! That means that Great Britain have a

:50:56. > :51:01.silver! A protest has gone in from the Japanese. It is obviously in

:51:02. > :51:06.relation to the fact that Japan are outside of the medals. They have

:51:06. > :51:12.got to credit the dismount. Whether they credit the difficulty for the

:51:12. > :51:22.dismount is another issue. Confirmation that Japan have gone

:51:22. > :51:23.

:51:23. > :51:30.up into silver and Great Britain will drop to bronze. Great Britain,

:51:30. > :51:39.confirmation that they are in third. Confirmation that Trina take gold.

:51:39. > :51:49.Japan go up into silver position -- China take gold. Ukraine get pushed

:51:49. > :51:50.

:51:50. > :51:58.out into 4th. The bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics. Max

:51:58. > :52:08.Witlock, the first to receive one, Kristian Thomas, each and everyone

:52:08. > :52:19.

:52:19. > :52:26.played their vital role. Daniel Purvis. Yes! Louis Smith. What an

:52:26. > :52:30.incredible moment. A wonderful moment. That was not

:52:30. > :52:38.really expected Atul. With us we have Matt Baker who was

:52:38. > :52:48.commentating at the Olympics. And you might recognise a Lennox Lewis

:52:48. > :52:48.

:52:48. > :52:52.That was astonishing. I still cannot believe it that Great

:52:52. > :52:58.Britain have got a bronze in the men's team final. It is

:52:58. > :53:02.unprecedented as far as gymnastics is concerned. I know you will see

:53:02. > :53:06.back in 1912 Great Britain got a bronze. Is in those days they had

:53:06. > :53:12.knickerbockers and were doing rope climbing. Yes, they did a drill

:53:12. > :53:17.around the yard. You can see how far gymnastics has come on. Some

:53:17. > :53:22.amazing moves. This, and to keep the composure, it was like a

:53:22. > :53:27.cauldron in there. The for the Games, you pay Cawte May the medal

:53:27. > :53:32.prospects, should win medals and will win medals, but these did not

:53:32. > :53:36.categorise in any of those. During qualification we saw the lads work

:53:36. > :53:39.and we thought that would be amazing if you could repeat that

:53:39. > :53:45.performance and then you take into account that China had a shocker,

:53:45. > :53:48.Japan had a shocker and then you think maybe a 4th or 5th. But

:53:48. > :53:54.anything the teams from Europe, you have got Russia and Ukraine,

:53:54. > :54:00.Germany as well. Great Britain won the Europeans a month or so ago.

:54:00. > :54:06.Phenomenal strength involved, Lennox? Yes, call work, I did some

:54:06. > :54:13.of that, try to keep my knees up, but it is difficult, especially

:54:13. > :54:18.when your next are very heavy. is that your excuse, heavy legs?!

:54:19. > :54:28.yesterday that rape, the crucifix just to warm up for training. It is

:54:29. > :54:30.

:54:30. > :54:34.astonishingly difficult. -- I used to do that rope,. If anybody wants

:54:34. > :54:39.to have a go at home, put two chairs to get back lift your legs

:54:39. > :54:45.up. They will be talking about gymnastics in pubs tonight.

:54:45. > :54:51.this, I know growing up doing gymnastics myself, both said

:54:51. > :54:55.bloke's gymnastics, you have got eight ribbon. A work generation

:54:55. > :55:00.grew up watching the eastern Europeans, this generation will

:55:00. > :55:04.watch British athletes perform. is about all the hours which have

:55:04. > :55:09.gone in and all the coaches which have recognised the talent at a

:55:09. > :55:16.young age. They will, without a doubt inspire others. Similar to

:55:16. > :55:21.boxing? Yes, very demanding, same type of work, a lot of involvement,

:55:22. > :55:26.a lot of hours training and it is not easy. Is it is certainly not.

:55:26. > :55:36.Let's remind ourselves of your golden moment insult 24 years ago.

:55:36. > :55:39.

:55:39. > :55:44.I should point out you were In the first round, he hit me with

:55:44. > :55:52.a tremendous uppercut and birdied my nose and that really got me

:55:52. > :55:56.upset. I felt my Olympics really slipping away from me. When the

:55:56. > :56:01.referee stopped the fight, I was so glad and I ran around the ring

:56:01. > :56:04.holding my hands up in the air. It was fantastic. It is interesting

:56:04. > :56:09.that four years prior to that you fought in the Olympics and he

:56:09. > :56:15.waited to turn professional for that aren't of time. Was that

:56:15. > :56:19.because use -- you wanted gold? was young, I was going to school.

:56:19. > :56:25.Staying amateur for another four years and going to the Olympics,

:56:25. > :56:30.once again, I said, I'd better get it right this time. D'Estaing or

:56:30. > :56:37.one in the amateur ranks produce a different kind of fighter -- does

:56:38. > :56:43.staying in the amateur ranks? absolutely. When you stay amateur

:56:43. > :56:48.for a long while, you get a lot more experience, you get to know

:56:48. > :56:55.yourself. I was still the young at the time so my body had to grin and

:56:55. > :57:00.myself and get a lot stronger. Then I was the perfect age, 23. Lennox,

:57:00. > :57:07.you are going to stay with us, we are switching to BBC Two shortly.

:57:07. > :57:13.Any more medal prospect? A Louis Smith on the pommel horse, Beth

:57:13. > :57:18.Tweddle, the women's team are going tomorrow. Thank you for coming in,

:57:18. > :57:23.Lennox, stick with us. If you want to watch live volleyball, it is
