BBC One: Day 4: 19.00-22.00 Olympics

Good evening. In the swimming pool this evening we could well witness

the most staggering achievement in Olympic history, Michael Phelps is

on the brink of breaking the record which tested for almost half a

century, agree to more medals this evening and the Baltimore bullet

will have more in a bid medals than any other athlete in history of the

Games. -- will have more Olympic 34 years of age, mother to a six

year-old daughter and performing If you dream as big as you dream,

I must say, pictures have improved a bit over the years. We will be

live to watch his attempt to achieve this extraordinary feat. It

is one of the highlights of our again takes centre stage at 7:30pm.

Great Britain in that silver-medal round in her career for Mary King,

both team and individual. That is that one out of the way. She is

doing a very good job, she rode Just the last. Needs to clear this

to keep silver in touch. Yes! And inside the time. And with in

defence of the lead for the individual gold. Right now the

temperature suddenly rises, and the royal party enjoyed that moment as

20,000 people do here in Greenwich. Listen to the crowd.

Fantastic, it you seem to beat in Super sink today. He did feel quite

tense, not quite like I am used to, his head was a bit higher, he was

jumping a little bit flatter but he jumped high enough to clear them.

It clear round, not only will win it for Germany, with one rider

still to come, but it will also put him in touching distance of all

three titles, world, European, and Olympic. That has never been done

before. 4th individually, at 40.6 clear to win it all with a time

fault, just one, for Germany. This is a man who jumps 1.425, 1.58

regularly. The tightest we have seen all day. A little bit least in

front, the horse. He has toecap one into the air. Giving the next one a

lot more air. Just needs to touch one a little harder for the Brits.

Sorry, did I say that? What a pace. He is certainly very well aware of

the last. It could be Germany's gold. It is Germany's gold. They

a bit uptight. She nearly lost the European title three times. Move on,

Tina. Move on. Just get one time fault, it is silver for Great

Britain, and she is still in there for an individual medal as well, it

finishes on 43. Everybody loved that. Well done, Tina Cook.

team have done so well, it was so close, we could have got silver or

nothing. That would have been awful. Gold would have been brilliant,

silver is fantastic. So, it was silver for Team GB. Handing out

those medals, the Princess Royal, or mummy as Zara Phillips calls her,

no doubt. Quite an occasion. The combined age of the team, 201,

compared to the young gymnasts last night of 105. Twice they raged. A

supreme effort from the equestrian picture of the horse on the front

page with Zara Phillips on it. Selling the programmes, out in the

park, a lot of people milling around, ready for sport all over

Brilliant, silver medal in the team competition but more medals

available in the individual event with Mary King and Tina Cook who

won bronze four years ago, very much in contention, back to

Less than one mile behind Mary King. it has gone. And another one. Sadly

she will not repeat the bronze individual medal of the last

tremendous job, she would have loved a medal. Waving to the crowd,

listened to the response. What About Mary King? She has put up a

great performance, can she finish it off. Bronze medal position at

gone. For both the British riders. Dashed the same alacrity fences. --

a fantastic job. The team, just disappointment. It would have been

nice to have finished in style, it is not to be. She jumps the last,

50.1. Can history be made here with the last two riders? Michael Jung,

quite relaxed. He is on a score of 40.6. If he jumps clear he would

put himself in with the chance of being the first man ever to hold

the world, the European, and the Olympic title at the same time,

afternoon that it did this morning. It rattled a few off the rails this

Fantastic. Brilliant! It means it is all on. Here is the one back in

for gold. Could she be the first lady rider to win an Olympic

eventing title? Just one time fault could be afforded, but no more.

Jumped a brilliant round this morning. You would have to say on

that performance putting your money on it, another clear round. But the

pressure is phenomenal. I think it is allergic to these jumps at the

moment! You can hear a pin drop here. It is going to be history

whichever way this happens. Down the final line. Yes! It has gone!

Their very last fence has gone. She will stay with the silver. It is

not going to be the first lady ever to win gold. But it is the first

time that anyone has held the world, the European and the Olympic title.

That is Michael Jung. Teams silver medallists, sadly no medals in the

individual competition. There is obviously disappointment for both

of you afterwards, but performances to be proud dove. First, Mary, you

6th Olympics. This actually was my first clear round Atlanta Olympic

Games and I have done five of them already. Obviously disappointed

with I two down. I made a mistake because there is a big lion in the

middle of the arena and I went near it and scared him and because of

that he was a bit strange and the first part of the cause, but in the

second party jumped beautifully. You had the same fences down. I saw

the look on your face when you pulled up and I wanted to say, you

have done OK. It has gone really well, but there is a disappointment.

I will get over it. I was just a bit flat at the first fence. You

want to be there going for goal, so I am disappointed, but I am

thrilled for the team. Gold would have been amazing, but silver is

through the 1,500m mark and start to press on for the line, which is

only just from Switzerland who had led them right from the off. The

crowd have been fantastic for Team GB. The British are slicing through

the water. A fabulous job. But Switzerland are responding. Closest

to asked Germany cannot live with it. Look at this, Switzerland

pounding Great Britain all the way. Great work from Great Britain, they

moved when they want to. They have got control of this race will stop

and they have moved right through. It is a wave of Union Jacks on the

at this time. It is a third of a length over Switzerland on the

Britain are looking very good. I look forward to the finals over the

next few days. These are the scenes inside the park. That is us up

there where the lights are run. We It is a brilliant spot to be. I am

joined by Ian Thorpe and we have a special night to look forward to in

the swimming pool with Michael Phelps going for that Olympic

record of 19 medals. It is a tough challenge for him to get 19. It

will happen, whether it is tonight or another night. Do you sense it

will be tonight? Yes, I think it will be. I consider him the

greatest Olympic champion already, but this is one of those things

that officiates what he has accomplished. It means he has won

the most medals out of any other athlete. What about the first

swimmer to win the same event three Olympics in a row. I think that one

is harder. In the fly he is defending Olympic champion, but he

also won it previously. He is going for three consecutive gold medals

in the same event. I think this is the one out of all of them that he

is going to be chasing the most. I have watched his form and it will

be tough for him to get this one. But I think he wants it more than

anything else. Also swimming is at Shiwen Ye. She is dominating the

headlines. Anything that is unbelievable generally is as

somebody said. Where do you stand on that? I look at her and we have

to consider she is 16. She is an age group swimmer. We look at age

group results in GB, Australia, wherever else. We see these kinds

of improvements weather are seconds. These do not happen when it hits

you in your professional career when you are in your early twenties.

I say we applaud the performance first. But sport needs to get to a

place where people are confident in the anti-doping system and the

measures that are taken that when somebody has an unbelievable

performance that we a plaudit first. We do not say all the athletes must

be on drugs. I think at her age she can make that kind of up --

improvement. When I went from 15 to 16 I dropped five seconds. There

have been some other unbelievable performances as well where

questions have not been raised. think we have to remove

nationalities from this. When we talk about issues of drugs we have

to remove individual names and where they come from and talk about

it openly and honestly and in an intelligent way so we get to the

bottom of this. It has to be left to the authorities. They are pretty

good at finding cheats nowadays. have to assure everyone these are

the best procedures we have ever had in place to catch cheats,

simple as that. It has never be more strict. We will catch more

athletes. When we catch one, let's applaud the authorities rather than

saying all of the athletes are on drugs. Let's say this is the

minority, and it is that minority, and applaud the authorities. It is

time to go over to the Aquatics Centre where Clare Balding and Mark

Foster are waiting for a terrific night's swimming.

There are a lot of news people here tonight and they are looking at

various women as. A couple of responses that have come through

already. The Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt said we have put in

place the most stringent anti- doping procedures ever. We are very

confident we can make this the cleanest Olympics ever. They will

do 6000 random drugs tests here, compared to 2000 in Sydney.

always get tested out of competitions as well. Every

medallist here has been tested. They are making it as clean as

possible. I am listening to what Ian Thorpe is saying and the bottom

line is she may be a new Michael Phelps. Why can't she do these

performances? She could easily when another gold medal tonight. This is

the line-up for tonight's files. -- Michael Phelps is in the men's 200m

butterfly final. In the butterfly semi-finals women's 200m, Jemma

Lowe is in that. Let's tell you a I think being competitive is

definitely part of who I am. I always try and keep it more fun

competitive and try not to keep it so serious, but I am a very

competitive. I love to race, I love getting out there with all these

incredible swimmers and racing and pushing each other to see what we

can do. There is always that moment where I make sure I am really

focused on what I am doing. I always try to take risks because

even if it is not always worth it, the times and that it is, it is so

rewarding. Missy Franklin going for her first individual Olympic medal.

And here comes Missy Franklin in lane five. This is her first

individual medal. Smashers that American record. You have to put in

the effort individually every day to make you sup better, you have to

push you survive past your limits and you have to get out there and

give it your all. Bear in mind Michael Phelps won his first gold

medal at 19, Mark Spitz at 22 and Missy Franklin has won at the age

of 17. The same as Ian Thorpe. Their new Michael Phelps is a big

label, but she is the real deal. She will be in the first final

tonight. She will be swimming Nistor Caitlin McClatchey. Now it

Nistor Caitlin McClatchey. Now it is the men's 100m freestyle final.

James Magnusson is in lane five. The world record holder is only in

closest but he has only got 48 here. Cesar Cielo was taking it a bit

easy this morning. We haven't seen what he was capable of. A gold-

medallist so far in the relay, the tremendous the French swimmer. He

Olympic gold-medallist on the 50, only bronze in the 100. Brett

Fraser of the Cayman Islands. brother is in lane eight. Lane of

three and 80. The South African. Here he is, the fastest man in the

world, James Magnussen of Australia but he had a very average lead-off

leg in the final of the Relate. Australia, big favourites, they

came 4th. The 23-year-old Russian in a number six. The second fastest

man in the world, James Roberts from the Australia, not a great

relay. He is only young. I think the pressure got to the Australians.

Big rivalry with the Americans. James Magnussen, only 21. Lots of

time for them. James Magnussen, just a little strip taken off, the

boy is very confident, looked a bit more humble. Look at those red

marks, he has basically slapped himself on the chest. That has got

to hurt. It does but it really 100m freestyle. Lane four, Gideon

Louw, seemed to fall off the blocks, very poor start from him. Good

start at the dog from Cesar Cielo. -- at the top. Looking fantastic on

the first 50. Fabian she low in the Magnussen doing what he should have

done of the relay. Let's check the world record. 46.91. That is better.

Much better. Still half a second outside the time he set to win the

Australian Olympic trials. That is much better. 48.12 lead-off, half a

second faster, what a shame he didn't do that for his team-mates

in the relay. I am kind of pleased for him, he is only young. He has

got that confidence, and that will have done him the power of good.

Beating Cesar Cielo in lane two, both coming out of the 10 together.

Cesar Cielo looked a little bit ragged. He is looking to see how

much he beat him by. That was really obvious, straight over, left

untouched, the first thing he did was look over. Pretty quick.

Wouldn't be surprised if that is the fastest of the final. James

Magnussen wins the first semi-final, the world record holder in second

and six was just 40.57. Surely the guys in the second semi-final know

and the two, Yannick Agnel in La number one. What a great 200m

freestyle that was. A was good to see, he really destroyed the field,

it was a great win. Just down on You are brothers committee you

fight over breakfast? It is competitive but we make it fun. He

has been my biggest supporter from day one. It is about sharing days

like this with him. Dr you follow him? He has forged his own path

along the way. Nice to have him out there competing with me. There are

four sets of siblings in the British team. Is it a great way to

be able to train, or do you make sure you which came with each

other? We swim swimmer or -- similar events so our training is

pretty similar. We get to share almost every moment. Pretty nice.

Your parents must get extremely nervous. They are proud and we have

worked hard to get here, and we are really excited to be in the semi-

the Cayman Island at the last Olympics. Not seen too many

Belgians in the semi-finals. Up a sea of Cuba, an ex water polo

player. The technical piece is not so good. Brian Hayden, the Canadian,

looking mean, former world champion. Nathan Adrian, the fastest

qualifier after the heats. Be careful of the first four lanes.

think the race is at the top. The second semi-final of the men's one

and a metre freestyle and Cullen Jones at the top. An excellent 50m

freestyle. He did this in the heats this morning, this will play right

in the hands of Yannick Agnel. He will try to stay with him in the

outside lane. Nothing a dream doing what he did in the relay. He has

got form in this neat already. Yannick Agnel in second, that is

quite ominous. I thought the race would be on the right hand side.

Nathan Adrian looking good. His lifetime best, 47.8. Look at the

bottom as well. Garcia of Cuba, goodness me, he got it, second.

47.97, no Finnegan, a much slower semi-final. It will be so close.

Adrian's start, a big leap, epic look. Big fly kick, had a quick

look over the left, checked out where he was in the field. He is

top of your picture. And Hanser Garcia, the water polo player he

almost needed a ball in front of him. He has come third. Those wide

eyes. It hurts so much. It looks like five qualify from a semi-final,

made in 18 wins it, Garcia second. Yannick Agnel I think is in. Look

how close it was, really close. Only three from the last semi-final.

Confirmation of those going through to the final, James Magnussen

fastest, world record holder is only in 5th place, that will be an

absolute flyer tomorrow night. will see a few of them in the big

really at the end of tonight because Yannick Agnel is on the

anchor leg for fans. They won the first big men's relay of the week

beating America and it will be felt and Agnel, it will be amazing.

There is Michael Phelps. He will be coming out later. The race after

this, to defend the double title he has won in the 200m butterfly. He

has won it for the last two Olympic Games and he is trying to become

the man to do that. We have the women's two rigid metre freestyle,

this latest Camille Muffat from France, Pellegrini, the defending

champion, Cailtin McClatchey who very nearly gave us make but is

back in the form of her life. After 2000 the 10th Commonwealth

Games she Mail -- failed to make the final, she was going to walk

away, changed her coach, and in March she didn't qualify, went to

the second trials in June and she has qualified. We call them the

posh and Becks of swimming but she is going out with Liam Tancock. In

2006 Commonwealth Games she won, she has got the form, it will be a

hard task. Between Pellegrini and Missy

Franklin, who played either feature on earlier, she has already got a

gold in the 100m backstroke. Cup -- it is very where to combine

freestyle and backstroke. Backstroke is rather different.

Freeze out your arms go forward, but a similar sort of movement.

Lochte is a backstroke specialist because the style as well. She is

out in lane eight which means she has qualified in 8th place. I am

thinking Missy Franklin kids need in on the outside. Caitlin is in a

great position if you can hang on. The bronze medal place could be a

scrap. Missy Franklin, not just comes from Colorado, but trained in

a Rohrer, the place were 12 people were killed in the cinema sheeting

and she is very much trying to do some thing here at these Olympic

Games to make the people of Colorado's smile again, that is

what she says. The 200m freestyle, Let's join Andy.

A hot race it will certainly be. Where the gold is going to go, I

don't know. This in lady, Allison Schmitt got the silver and looked

really good in the heats. The next to her, in lane six, Federica

Pellegrini, the defending champion, at the world champion, world record

holder. She could do it, she isn't consistent at the Olympic Games but

seems to be pretty good on this 200. Listen to this. It is just amazing,

it is enormously out. Cailtin McClatchey from Loughborough

University. Missy Franklin, she qualified for this final of the

200m freestyle than 20 minutes later got back in the water and won

the 100m backstroke. It was a real fine line but she knew she did get

Pellegrini, the Olympic defending champion. After she was beaten by

Adlington she came back and won this one. Allison Schmitt will be

strong. Caitlin is in lane seven. freestyle. A very good start for

Allison Schmitt of the UK, there she is, one lane down from her,

Bronte Barratt, Commonwealth champion in the 200 and 400, wonder

if she can break the Commonwealth record? Look at Camille Muffat in

late number three, Allison Schmitt Popova or in a number to. -- lay

number two. Camille Muffat was going to try to take the field out,

but she has eased back. Allison Schmitt looks dangerous. She trains

with Michael Phelps, took a year of university to go to his coach,

great lead out. Allison Schmitt over first, 0.85 of a second ahead

of Missy Franklin, one for second behind, now she is working. She is

working so hard, has she got it? She is a strong girl, Camille

Muffat does not know how to react. Missy Franklin at the bottom, this

is amazing. You want to know what she has got left. That is pretty

good, the fact she could stay in the water, the rest of the field

trying to get back. Fascinated to see if she would do any kicks under

water. A fantastic turn. Allison Schmitt won a silver medal in the

400, she will not tire out, a massive victory, he tore clear

water from Yannick Agnel, Allison Schmitt has just done the same.

Gold to Allison Schmitt of the USA, silver, it lay number three,

Camille Muffat of France, and a bronze has gone to Bronte Barratt

of Australia, it very good from her, Cailtin McClatchey finishing in 7th

water between her and the rest of the field. Just dominant. Bronte

Barratt could not live with it. She must have looked around and thought,

well, this is mine. And she had the energy. Camille Muffat could not

live with them, the 400m gold medallist. Allison Schmitt is

already punching the air and they still have got to finish. That was

absolutely brilliant, look at her face. The silver went to Camille

Moffat, the bronze to Bronte Barratt by one one-hundredth of a

second. Missy Franklin was 4th. Frederica Pellegrini, the world

record defending champion was only 5th. I am very pleased for Caitlin,

she is such a lovely lady. To come back and make the Olympic final,

really well than, Caitlin, that was excellent. -- and really well done.

Sharon is talking to her now. You have not stopped smiling since you

came out of that door. The crowd was so amazing tonight. I want to

thank everyone for their support. I have had such a great time really

enjoyed it. A good time, but more importantly we have got the relay

coming up and we have got lots of hopes. We have got a strong relay

coming up tomorrow and I'm really excited and looking forward to it

and I will recharge my batteries mouthful stop do we know if Rebecca

is going to be swimming? It is a secret. Great to see her regaining

her enthusiasm. But that when, a new Olympic record, so impressive.

She trains with Michael Phelps. Yes, you can choose to watch it or

not to what it, there is a television. But he listens to music

before every race and it is the same music. What is it? Do you

know? Something loud. Yes, he has got big your fangs. How do you win

this race? This is is Number One event. In this event he is not

beaten for 11 years and is going for three Olympics in one row which

has never been done. I would not bet against him, but the form he

has been in, he has not looked his best, he has been a bit heavy. If I

was to put my money on him, I would still pick him. Everybody here is

hoping that we see another gold medal because Allison Schmitt has

just won the gold. Can Michael medallist, the third fastest in

history and the fly. I bet all these guys are standing up going,

what a chance I have got to win gold. This is the Commonwealth

champion and he has got a chance. All of them it will be thinking.

Takeshi Matsuda especially. listen to this. He looks worried,

he does not look his normal, cool, calm, collected self. That is a

particularly worried face will stop. His mother is a good quality

Warrior. Having said that he has not got a bad conversion rate.

Dinko Jukic took in seven. Stjepanovic H of Serbia in lane

eight. No love lost between Tyler Clary and Phelps. I think he has to

go out fast. I watched him in the heats and the semis and he seemed

to be a bit sluggish. That has got to convert into commitments in the

first 100. He has got to go out and make his move. He is certainly not

good at swimming slow and he has been trying to conserve his energy.

But when he goes low, his timing goes off and he does not look great.

I hope that was the reason. He did not have the best semi. Off to a

very clean start in the men's 200m butterfly final in the Olympic

Games. Chad Le Clos off very quickly in that green hat of South

Africa. There is Michael Phelps, a very strange style. He looks OK at

the moment. He is not too bad. He normally comes back in the second

half. His first term was not bad. am not sure if this is enough for

Michael Phelps. If Chad Le Clos sees or feels on his shoulder that

he is slowing down, he will go for it. Michael Phelps is looking good

still. Down at the bottom Stjepanovic she is doing well.

did not spot the turn as well has he normally does. Takeshi Matsuda

is starting to move, I think he's smells blood. Chad Le Clos is still

in there. I really hope Michael Phelps does this. He is looking

tired. Takeshi Matsuda is starting to come through. He is still first

to turn. He had a quick look around the field. The question is, has he

got the fitness and the energy to close it out. He is gritting his

teeth and he is starting to look a bit shaky. They are coming back at

10, but Michael Phelps is going to win. Is he going to create history?

He did not get it! Oh, my goodness me. Chad Le Clos won the gold. Look

what that means. Oh, my goodness me, he was there and he'd just collided

it. Chad Le Clos is Olympic champion on the men's 200m

butterfly. Oh, my goodness me. one hundredths. You can watch the

last 10m in that race and you can see the whole range of human

emotion. They were gritting their teeth, it was getting really ropey.

It was down to who could get to the wall first. None of them had the

energy, it was killing them, all three of them. People who have

followed swimming all over the years will have seen him as a young

cave. Look at Chad Le Clos, the effort. That is a great shot.

was hanging in there at all that time. Watch this. That is exactly

what happened to Michael Phelps on the 100 fly in Beijing. There is

his dad. Well done, sir. Your son. I think he said goodness me! I am

sure it was goodness me or heavens above, something like that! What a

swim. Michael Phelps has got a silver medal and in when that

silver medal he has now tied for the most Olympic medals ever won in

Olympic history, tied at 18. He has got 14 golds, two silvers. Is that

your dad up there? You will set me off. Do not walk off, that was

extraordinary. I know that is what you were hoping to do. Did you

think you're going to do it? I was dreaming about this since I was a

little boy. Michael is my hero. I cannot believe it. You have just

beaten the greatest swimmer ever in history. This is a truly momentous

moment. Everyone will be proud, your dad is very proud. I really

Full credit to Ian Thorpe because he called it and he said that might

not hat that -- that might happen. I do not think Chad Le Clos

believes it. When Michael Phelps went for his 8th in Beijing in the

100 butterfly, it was the opposite to tonight. But what a moment. I

would have loved to see him wear It is to do with for us as well as

timing. He attaches first and with more force. When you want to hit

the pad, you want to hit it with force. It has got metal on the back

of it. The harder you hit it, the quicker it stops the clock. This is

the classic example of asking your body questions and can it answered.

Chad Le Clos answered the urgings. He knew where Michael Phelps was.

It was like Michael Phelps did not have the last stroke. You could see

it on the last turn. It is amazing, absolutely phenomenal. He was at a

youth Olympic Games a few years ago, never been to an Olympics before a.

The second gold medal for South Africa. He is only 20 and the

people in South Africa will be going mad for that. But Michael

Phelps has made history equalling the record of all time medals won

in Olympic history. He still has got to do the relay and if he wins

another medal, he will set the all- these swimmers are probably

got a final. She needs to put her legs together. She doesn't really

kick at all. Semi-final of a 200 butterfly, fairly shortly

thereafter going to have to do the 200 individual medley final, seems

most unfair. Hoshi from Japan second. Hoshi is strong, 21 years

of age. She was in the Beijing Olympic Games. She would like to

get through to the final. The black cap on Japan. Elaine number five,

she might as well not have done it, her final is coming up. If she is

not careful she will not make the final of the 200 fly. Why has she

done it to herself? She is tough at the back end of her races but has

got some work to do. Starting to move a little bit but she is out of

the shot. She went off like a shot, the Chinese swimmer. Hoshi of Japan

are coming through. Yes, they are, Adams in third. She came back well,

quite impressive. Very impressive, she put the effort in the last 20

metres. She has done a Missy Franklin type thing, tried to get

in in the top four from this semi-, it is not position, it is the

fastest eight times. She is gambling slightly. Look how close

to the water has chin is when she breeds. -- breeds. No effort to go

up and down. Just stick your chin on the water, used all your efforts

to go forwards, beautiful cake and pushed together. Fabulous. -- cake.

position to be in. She will have to wait. A few good swimmers in the

next semi-final, they are just about to walk out. It will be

interesting. Some of those personal best times are quite a way down,

you never know. Jemma Lowe of Great Britain does in a number five,

Kathleen Hersey, the past -- the fastest qualifier in a number four.

Looking forward to seeing Jemma Lowe in lane five, one of the Brits

that did make it. We were hoping Ellen Gandy would be in here, but

she bombed out in the heat, unfortunately. I don't know if it

was the pressure that got to her. Jemma Lowe looked really good.

Third fastest into the semi-finals after the heats was very good

indeed. Belmonte Garcia, the distance freestyle specialist in

lane two. Jemma Lowe went to 07 0.64. ":07.64. If Tim a repeat what

she did in that heat she has got a good chance. Choi has got a best

walking out. A massive cheer for Jemma Lowe in a number five. The

woman she has wanted to go better, wanted to place higher, 9th in

Beijing. Just make sure we don't do that again. The semi-final job is

very simple, make the final. Ignacio Sorribes of Spain in lane

six. The defending champion, from China, in lane seven. She has

watched her compatriot when the previous semi-final. Jemma Lowe,

interesting, next to the American in a number four. The Chinese were

met in a number seven. A good position to be in next to her she.

-- Kathleen Hersey. Let's see what comfortably in the first half then

picked it up in the second half in their heats. The world record

holder in lane seven. The second semi-final of the women's 200m

butterfly, Jemma Lowe getting a decent start with a red hat in the

centre. Very good from Zige Liu from China. Both of them have no

bids, gold and silver-medallists from Beijing in their own country,

trying to replicated here. Jemma Lowe, a bit off the pace, that is

OK for now. It is the semi-final. Zige Liu going over first. That was

an amazing world record she did in 2009, Kathleen Hersey in a number

four, top left of your shot. Jemma Lowe just needs to get back on the

solders -- shoulders. I would like her to be a metre or so ahead, she

is in six or seven position at the moment. Certainly first U-turn will

be Zige Liu of China. She is first, then Jakabos, Ben Jemma Lowe in 7th

place. She has got to start moving. She had a very good return. There

she is, quite near the back of the field but hoping to come through.

Needs to get top four. Sigley it is looking a bit ropey. She is a large

girl. But sometimes doesn't help on 200m, lad did acid builds up, it is

harder to get you on Sat. She is struggling. Kathleen Hersey has

taken the lead. Yakir bars in a number three. The crowd starting to

come into this and trying to drag Jemma Lowe home. 10m underwater,

starting to come through. I would like to see her get third or 4th if

she can. It looks like it will be Kathleen Hersey winning it. Jemma

Lowe has got some work to do. Second was Belmonte Garcia, third

was Jakabos. Jemma Lowe was in 5th place with two 07 0.3. 2:07.03. I

think she is OK. Look at those terms, great coaching job. You keep

your head down, keep tight, spin round as quick as you can. Kathleen

Hersey coming through quickly towards the end. Zige Liu not on

form, I don't think. Kathleen Hersey is the one to watch for the

final. The American coaches believe this girl has got are three good

swims in her. A you can hear the crowd in the background, they have

gone nuts because they have seen Jemma Lowe coming 5th in that semi-

final and has qualified into the final, a massive geer, never heard

that before. Well done. Until Jemma Lowe looks at the scoreboard she

will not know that either. The news get broken to her. She might have

heard the news from the crowd first they looked at the scoreboard.

There is a confirmation of the finalists. Kathleen Hersey goes in

the fastest. There are two Chinese swimmers. Jemma Lowe qualifies in

8th place. Her best time is 2.53. You're a tough and you get in, you

must have heard the crash out when you realised you were in.

For I didn't know I was going to be in there when I finished 5th, I was

a bit worried. Should have tried a bit harder. But that is perfect.

Mike Hitch didn't want me to get in the middle and in the final, I am

really lucky, it was meant to be. Ready for tomorrow. That is the

plan, to be in the outside? It is really hard to get an outside lane

when it is so fast to get into the finals, you have to give everything

you have got or try to save their bit for the final. There was

perfect. We know you are capable, it will probably not be a lot

quicker tomorrow night. What do you reckon? It is hard to say. The

finals on normally not quite as fast as the semi-finals, but you

never know. I will give it absolutely everything tomorrow. See

what it brings. Good luck. Thank you. I get out of breath just

watching it. I can never make for loans. She is fine, she can talk.

When you got out for your interview, I did many with Sharron Davies, did

one length and I was puffing. The fact she jokingly said about making

late and reserving something, maybe she did because she was speaking

normally. Eyesores and images last night of the relay. This morning. I

saw somebody leaning over being sick, you try so much, the acid

builds up. We have still got to come here Michael Jamieson and

Andrew Willis for Great Britain swimming in the semi-finals of the

200m breaststroke and Hannah Miley going in the individual medley. If

you want to watch Great Britain's footballers inaction the women are

playing Brazil right now on BBC Three, both of those unbeaten in

their two matches so far. Highlights will be here on BBC One

later. There is plenty of excitement still to come and I wish

I could be in two places a lot of the time. I have spent most of

today wishing I could be in Greenwich and here and now I wish I

could be in this year because they They are imminent, trust me. We

have seen history equalled but not history made, sort of, tonight.

Michael Phelps, he didn't quite manage. An extraordinary race.

It really was. Of all of the races for Michael Phelps, I wanted him to

win this one. It was tough watching that. He lost the race on the

finish, not a fault of his own, it was a fantastic finish for Chad le

Clos of South Africa, I tipped into do well in this race. I wanted this

for Michael. He looked like he had got it one. The whole way through

it looked like he had won it for the whole way through. The final

stroke that just comes over, bang, he has got it. Similar thing

happened in Beijing, the reverse order. Michael Phelps won the 100

butterfly. This is 51 hundreds of a second stop if you see how close

this is here, imagine in Beijing when they had to look back and look

back again to see one. It was incredible, still equals the all-

time record of 18 medals, one more, the replay later, he does will make

history. He has got the relay, the Americans will get a medal, I think

they will win. Simple as that. Tonight is a history-making event

for Michael Phelps. And officially on every different level of judging

he becomes the greatest Olympian ever. We will talk about that later.

Earlier today in Greenwich Park Britain's three-day event team won

a silver medal and we can speak to the triumphant five. Many

congratulations. You must be delighted. Mary, described on

missions. I am absolutely over the moon, we all are, it is so

wonderful to get a medal in front of whole -- home crowd. We have --

we would have loved to get gold but silver is fantastic, they are great

medals, a really heavy. You're sick Olympics, how old is this when

different being in home territory at Greenwich? Definitely the best.

In front of all the home crowd, just extraordinary. Yesterday,

galloping across the country galloping on our horses, so loud,

you couldn't hear the stopwatches we were meant to be listening to to

make sure we were keeping up. you had the vital aid to go, you

had to get a clear round, it was silver or nothing, what was on your

mind? I was trying not to think about it, to be honest. Really just

focusing on jumping a clear round, it really didn't want to find out

what was going on with the other teams because the important thing

was to go fast and clear. I got one time fault but left the fences up,

thank goodness. It has been a tough year, you lost your father, famous

trainer, the horse has been ill as well, you have been through a lot.

Yes, I know, it has all been happening this year. But we have

had a fabulous week and a great team and we have been taking it

incredibly seriously but had a bit of a laugh as well, it has been

amazing. Your mother never managed to win a medal, your dad won gold,

you have got silver, not a bad effort. My dad's score wasn't

counting which mum told me to date so I have got one up on him and

they are massively proud, it is just an awesome place to be, the

whole experience has been unbelievable. We have had a great

time, great team effort. Made it all worth it. Although we wanted

the gold it is still worth it. jumped clear in the individual, as

You did wonderfully well in the other parts of the event. The horse

was awesome and stepped up to the mark. He is only going to get

better. If I had done what I did in the second bit in the first bit,

but, you know, we all make mistakes. We managed to stay with our silver

and we will catch the Germans one day. It is a mixture of this sport

because you go from the real style and elegance of dressage to the

hurly burly of cross country. I suppose the horses have to be as

gifted as your selves. One pity's sake Western art I was too busy

laughing. I have had a fantastic course with Opposition Buzz. His

strongest phase was always the cross country and it was a dream to

ride him around Greenwich Park today. He was perfect from start to

finish and it was a pleasure to be part of a fantastic team. It was

really very special. I cannot ignore the big man at the back.

William Fox-Pitt, your 4th Olympics, Your third medal. How does this one

compare? This one is particularly special because none of us will

ever experience the crowds of Greenwich again. They literally

carried you around the course with screams and raw as and you felt so

proud and lucky to be competing. It was particularly special and it is

very sad it is all over. I know Clare Balding desperately wants to

say a few words to your. I want to say well done and how proud

everyone is of view and how brilliantly you held your heads and

when there was so much noise around. What an incredibly strong team you

are and everybody brings something to the party. All five of you,

absolutely superb. Well said, we are all incredibly proud of all of

you. Congratulations, enjoy your evening. We will go straight back

to Clare Balding. It's lucky I was not there because

I would have got very emotional. Few know how much work is put into

it and the same is for every Olympic sport. With swimming the

training is so intense and it is very lonely. You cannot talk to

anybody. That's why I was doing sprinting, because after every

event I could stop. Somebody like Rebecca Adlington is doing 80 up to

1,000m in the water every week. You push your bodies to the extreme.

Lots of going to bed early at night and giving up your weekends. You do

not have a life and you have to give up an awful lot. The benefit

is in terms of fitness, I mean you are very fit, but I might be mis-

read! You go to the gym and work out very lot -- long times. I know

a lot of them are based together. How much does it help to have a

group around you to spur each other on? It makes a huge difference. In

America with the collegiate system a lot of the best swimmers go to

American universities. You have got a situation where you are training

and racing every day with some of the best athletes in the world.

Michael Jamieson and Andrew Willis are two of the best swimmers in the

world. Kris Gilchrist trained with them and he was hour record holder

until this morning. Every session they are going attic and a race

each other because they do not want to give each other an inch. When it

comes to this competition they are British record this morning, is

going to be in lane four. He will be desperate to get it right in

this one. Adrian Moorhouse, I would love to hear your thoughts on the

difference between sprinters and distance swimmers in breaststroke.

Technically is the stroke longer? You do not have to answer it now,

maybe later. I will pick up on that for sure. This is his friend from

the desert. Listen to this. Look at his face. He is loving it. Blowing

out some air. The adrenalin has just gone racing around his body.

He set a new British record to qualify second fastest. What a

great swim it was. He really pasty a beautifully. -- he replaced it

beautifully. He is based in Loughborough. Michael Jamieson is a

great proponent of that 200m breaststroke stroke, but also had a

very good 100m individual. I will be very interested to see how he

does. It is a great position to be in lane four. The medals are not

tonight, they are tomorrow. But do a great job here tonight and make

sure you stay ahead of this lot. I am thinking a sub 2.10 to make the

little bit of time to get quiet for the start. Jamieson is in the

centre for Great Britain. Four lengths of the breaststroke.

Jamieson is looking pretty good. A nice, long reach and very high.

Look at lane five, the Japanese Clyde. Good underwater technique.

Keep an eye on him. That is very different from the hundred

breaststroke. Here it is legs and good and starting to come through.

And he is picking the stroke up. The first 100 was all about keeping

the length of the stroke and now it is all about accelerating. You can

see the Japanese guy doing that as well. The Brazilian in lane one is

doing very well as well. He is up first and the crowd are going to

take him home. He is going away, fantastic. He is inside the record

he set this morning. The rest of the field are starting to come back

at him. The crowd are going absolutely nuts. Another massive

British record. Listen to that. He has done the job. Two hats on. A

wonderful British record. And a slow reaction to the gun. He was

the last in the water on the dive. He accelerated his stroke counts.

He was so controlled. These guys will be worried by that, I am

telling you. There is only one man between him and the gold medal.

Maybe Kitajima. Here is where the next medal could come from for

Great Britain. That was good. It was only the semi-final. He has

improved his lifetime best by almost one second today. The guys

in Bath, Dave McNulty, the coaches, what a job they have done. The

crowd are getting behind Michael Jamieson and his team-mate is in

the second semi-final. You are loving this. Yes, it is

amazing. Every time I come out here I get goose bumps walking behind

the block. It is something special and it has really helped me this

week. I am really happy with the time and I'm excited for tomorrow

night. Will you be going to bed tonight dreaming of gold medals?

all dream. Who knows? There is a long way to go and there are some

big guys in this semi-final. I am sure I will make the final, but

there are a few big guns still to come. Dave has done a great job

preparing both the pupils stop it would be lovely if both of you

could get in. I am sure he will. He has been on form as well. It would

be good to have both of us in the final. I can only thank everyone in

Bath, although support staff, Mark and Andy, the fizz Co, their

coaches and all my team-mates. This has been a huge team effort. Myself

and anger are swimming for the rest of the squad as well. Good luck.

There is his team-mate. I wonder what he is thinking right now. Oh,

my goodness me. Andrew Willis has just seen Michael Jamieson destroy

the new record. He is saying, it is my turn now. They will have trained

together in this team, preparing for this. He said he was on form.

There is Kitajima. The defending champion. He has won the last two

Olympics, Athens and Beijing. He could be the only man to do three

lane four and Andrew Willis is in lane five. A nice big butterfly

cake and beautifully streamlined. A very good start indeed. Another

similar kind of stroke. That breaststroke from Bath. David

McNulty has prepared these guys rest of them. In second place be

behind Kitajima, he has something to prove. Having that result in the

100m, can he have the fitness and strength and to make the 200?

Swimmers normally come down in speed. Andrew Willis has just seen

his team-mate destroyed the British record in the first semi-final and

he was 0.7 of a second inside his own personal best. He looks really

good. The rest of the field will start coming back. Look at David

Gyurta. He is for from the left. Willis is strong, Sinkevich of

Russia in a number two. Down in lane eight, Brenton Rickard, not

giving up. The world record holder didn't enter for Australia. Brenton

Rickard really having a go. They may not have seen him but the crowd

reacting, Andrew Willis turned first with 50m to go. Look at this,

this is amazing. He is only one metre behind the world record.

David Gyurta coming through, it looks like it may be David Gyurta.

David Gyurta gets it, second was a polis. -- second was an Willis, a

new English record, only just outside the new British record set

in the first semi-final by Michael Jamieson. That would have been a

British record before Michael Jamieson did that one before. What

a fantastic job they have done. David Gyurta is dangerous. He comes

back very strongly. Here we have got Kitajima to the left, he is

have got to have a look, I think it is important to look way you are,

race them. You are not going to be on your own all the time. David

Gyurta are just getting a touch, the threat to our boys. That was

enormously impressive from Great Britain. It looks like we are back,

this sheet before us, the first and third qualifiers. You must be so

pleased. It was unbelievable. I wasn't quite as nervous as this

morning, but the crowd really helped me out there, unbelievable.

You kept it beautiful control of the stroke all way through. The

training is really paying off. is about what working every day to

hit the times we want to hit. Michael is capable of great time,

really happy for him, amazing we're both doing so well and both in the

final. You will be in that cold room together, a good thing to have.

Just knowing your mate is there, it is great, and great for the coach

as well. Imagine how noisy this place is going to be. Tonight was

crazy. Getting these bumps just sitting on the bus thinking about

it. It is an amazing feeling, at the spot has been unbelievable.

British breaststroke coming back to where it was a few years ago. A

kind of went off the boil, it looks like it is back. All along I wanted

to be in the final and I have done that, I would just enjoy yet now,

be up there in the middle lane, it will be an awesome experience.

Probably the best I will ever have. A lot of history in breaststroke.

Back in 76, Wilkie was Olympic champion, and then Moscow Olympics,

Adrian Moorhouse, 1988, and then Nick Gillingham in 92 on the 200

breaststroke. Ian Edmond the world silver-medallists, James Gibson, a

world champion on breaststroke. Kris Gilchrist has picked up medals

as well. We have got a huge history. No one better than Adrian Moorhouse.

What would your advice be to Andrew and Michael in terms of what they

do to prepare themselves not so much physically but mentally

between now add the final tomorrow night and what chance do you think

they have? In Seoul for my race we only had

heats and finals, but I had to have a sleep and I didn't get a wink of

sleep. All I could do was we play the race. My advice is do what ever

you can teach a lout, relax, try and take it off, do what ever you

can that is normal, watch a film, told your mates, play a game of

cards. You have just got to relax. The pressure will be enough

tomorrow. Take it easy. The we wish them luck and we will be bringing

you a final. Meanwhile, Michael Phelps was beetle in the final of

the 200m butterfly but there was a silver lining. The medal he is

about to pick uptakes in to 18 m Olympic medals and that brings him

a level with the Soviet gymnast who won her medals between 1956 and

1964. There, Michael Phelps, looking a little sheepish, perhaps

not surprising. We will see Chad le Clos he will be really emotional.

Phelps almost looking embarrassed then gets the huge applause so it

is OK. That was his mother. Do you celebrate his of a medal at the

Olympic Games? He is such a superstar. He is so calm, so

generous in his media presentation, he was brilliant in front of the

world's media a couple of days ago. He is showing us his second Olympic

silver medal, his 18th Olympic medal. He has picked up two here,

both silver. Here has got his goggles around his neck again, like

a teenage women. -- teenage swimmer. He was 5th at the World

Championships one year ago and he has just beaten the great Michael

Phelps, Chad le Clos of South Africa. It was one of the most

amazing swims I have ever seen. His mother in tears, his father in

tears. We are not far off that in the commentary box. What a great

swim, what a proud moment, lifetime superhero, there his mother and

father, Michael felt on the left- hand side. -- Michael Phelps.

Olympic champion, get used to it, it will last forever. He will not

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 95 seconds

Chad le Clos of South Africa, and a silver medal to Michael Phelps of

Sometimes pictures just say so much more than words ever could, Chad le

Clos during the South African national anthem, the bottom lip was

wobbling, his first Olympic Games, Michael Phelps is incredibly

gracious making sure he is smiling, enjoying the moment as well. And

Chad's parents, on the balcony just behind us, his father is bowing

down. Look at him there. Fabulous. We will see if we can grab him,

Mark is in there. He is saying, come and have a chat. Michael

Phelps is making part of history, his 18th her Olympic medal. Until

this week at the London Olympic Games he had never won Olympic

silver, he had won 14 gold medals and two bronze medals. Chad le Clos

saying Michael Phelps was his hero, the man who he looked up to, and

cannot believe he has managed to The flowers getting thrown all over

the place, here we go. In the centre we have got one unbelievably

happy chap, great emotions on a medal ceremony, Chad le Clos of

South Africa. He beat Michael Phelps on the 200 flights. Michael

Phelps has set that world record He has got his emotions back in

check. Michael Phelps is enormously gracious. He is a superstar. He

will know he has given everything he can, he will not change the

record, the record books say Michael Phelps is the greatest

swimmer of this particular era, of any era, and I have been proud to

witness all his medals. But here is perhaps the new generation.

And here is his father, Bert. What a performance.

Unbelievable. I have never been so happy in my life, something and

ascribable. It is like I have gone to heaven. Whatever happened in my

life now, it is plain sailing. And there is your boy down there, I

think he could hardly believe it, not just he has won a gold medal

but beaten Michael Phelps. This is unbelievable. Look at this!

What a beautiful boy for a sorry, son. Tell us a bit about him and

when he committed his life to swimming.

He has committed light you cannot believe. He is the most down-to-

earth, beautiful boy you ever meet in your life. Look at him, he is

crying like me. Every time I see myself! This is live. His mother is

here as well, how many more family members? My other son is here, I

couldn't find him, we have got it all over the place, not easy to get

tickets. We are aware. But you we here at the most perfect moment in

your son's life and the most private moments in your life.

Unbelievable. Facts, Great Britain. Thank you and congratulations. That

is the father of this man, Chad le Clos, the new Olympic champion. He

has beaten the defending champion, the man who has won the 200m

butterfly for the last two Olympic Games if, and Michael Phelps, in

doing so, wins the silver medal, and his 18th medal at comes level.

Chad le Clos wins his first Olympic medal, and it is cold. What is

rather sweet here, Michael Phelps is showing him how did it and say

come this way, this is where we need to go, that is what happens.

But the them will be in action straight away again because they

will be in the freestyle relay. Chad le Clos was that Africa at

Michael Phelps on the anchor leg for the USA and that will be

interesting because he is against Yannick Agnel of France. Ian Thorpe,

what was your reaction? Wasn't his moments in sport that you get to

witness. Men do not cry, but it is Not only was Chad emotional, but

his father was emotional. He had so much respect for Michael Phelps and

he aspired to be like Michael Phelps and he has just beaten his

Olympic hero. It is quite extraordinary. I am very proud of

right next to Katinka Hosszu. tried to conserve energy in this.

Caitlin Leverenz of the USA. A better 200m women. 5th at the world

championships last year. This is an interesting young lady. Ye Shiwen.

Totally destroyed the 400 medley at world record. Caused a bit of a

stir with how good her freestyle leg was. Alicia Coutts of Australia,

five times Commonwealth gold medallist, goes in lane five.

Ariana Kukors is the world record holder at the moment. She dropped

seven seconds herself to break that world record in the year. Stephanie

Rice, the previous world record holder. She has had a lot of

injuries and it has been quite tough for her. It is good to see

Kirsty con-trick coming back. She got a silver medal in Beijing and

she is back again. It would be lovely for her if she could

complete the full set. Bronze in Athens and silver in Beijing, but I

cannot see a gold in London, I am afraid. Not with Ye Shiwen. She set

an Olympic records to qualify for this final. Ariana Kukors has not

got near her world record. Let's not forget Hannah Miley at the top

of the pool in lane one. She is not really a 200 medley swimmer, she

should just throw herself into this. The final of the women's 200m

individual medley. A good start for Alicia Coutts. Lane five, lane

seven, Stephanie Rice. You cannot doubt Stephanie Rice's commitment

to defending these titles. She found it difficult in the 400. It

may be a little easier to get nearer in this one. Stephanie Rice

has got a good backstroke. You have also got Alicia Coutts. Ye Shiwen

is just building through the field. The breaststroke is where it makes

a difference. Caitlin Leverenz is also good at breaststroke. It is Ye

Shiwen of China. But Caitlin Leverenz is looking good. She is in

lane three with the black hat. This is great from Caitlin Leverenz.

Stephanie Rice is still hanging on in there. Alicia Coutts is still in

there. It is going to come down to the freestyle. It is going to come

down to the freestyle. Alicia Coutts has come up in the league.

That was a great turn from her. Ye Shiwen and Alicia Coutts fighting

it out, but Alicia Coutts is still looking good. She is closest to us

and she is digging in very hard. It is the 16 year-old. It is another

new Olympic record, but it is not a world record and not by quite a

wave. But it is goal to China and her second gold in the

championships. That was another impressive medley swimmer. She has

ended two races and done it, you cannot ask for more. But the rest

of the field were not intimidated by that 400 medley. You would have

thought that maybe they would have been affected. But they are all

taking a turn. Ariana Kukors is not giving up her record. Alicia Coutts

had a quick look at Ariana Kukors and then at Ye Shiwen. But she was

too strong in the end. The gold medal again going to China in the

medley at the Olympic Games in London, this time the 200 medley.

Hannah Miley is in 7th. Another really solid swim, another Olympic

final, we could not ask any more from you in there. I am so happy I

was able to make that final. Last time I came away I was 11th in the

world and so now I'm 7th in the world, so I cannot knock that. It

is fine, I am really happy with how this meat has gone. It is so much

better than it was in Beijing and the atmosphere has been absolutely

great, I know I keep saying that, but it really is. I have loved

every moment of it. A big thank you to everybody who has been asserted

that the TV ad in the crowds. What next for you? Just be in training

again. After this I will have a break and then after that I would

discuss with my dad what to do next. I'm looking forward to it. Thank

you very much for all your hard work. Well, the big boys getting

ready for the men's 4 x 200 relay. We are not even halfway yet. Great

Britain had a fantastically to qualify for this final. -- a

the 200m butterfly. Here is the British team. My goodness me, they

are getting fantastic ovations, the British team. Robbie Renwick

leading them off, that is an interesting decision. He was an

anchor this morning and he was very good. So, they are putting their

fastest guy first. It is an interesting order. Yes, it is

because Robbie said he liked going last, the battle and the fight.

Maybe the coach said, you might like it, but you do not come first.

Michael Phelps on the right hand side. Those headphones on at the

back. Ryan Lochte on the right-hand side. I think the French will be

fancying themselves after the 4 x 100 to get the victory in this as

well. Maybe Australia in there? What do you think? Yes, it could be

these guys. It is very difficult to see past the USA. What is

interesting that everyone who swam in the heats will get a medal if

the team gets a medal in the final. All seven American guys will get

medals. There is the Olympic champion in the 400m with the

headphones on. China are in seven and Hungary are in eight. Great

Britain are in lane two. We have changed our team and we have got a

fast a guide in first. There will be all sorts of bombing going on

when the big guys start diving in. Maybe that will put the guys off

and maybe Great Britain can sneak in and do a bit better. Who set it

was bombing? They are going to be smashing through the water and

creating waves. Watch the waves when these guys dive end, they are

not small. The Brits do not want to get behind because the waves will

be awful. Michael Phelps, here you go, here is your gold medal. They

are putting Ryan Lochte on the first leg as well. He is their

second fastest. They are putting their second first-Test -- second-

Great Britain in the red hat. But a really good start for France. I

wonder if they can upset the applecart again. If momentum has

anything to do with it, then the momentum of the French team is

absolutely on a high. Michael Phelps will want a few seconds lead.

He has got Yannick Agnel. I do not think he wants to get him anything.

Could you imagine if it was head- to-head, Michael Phelps with

Yannick Agnel. Look at that turn, he has taken a whole metre off the

rest of that field. That is so impressive. Look at his legs, it is

like a speedboat. France has got to be careful, they are going to get

big waves. I wonder if he has gone too quick too soon. What they us.

He is brilliant under water. Utterly stunning. He has got clear

water just like Yannick Agnel did. He is a full body length ahead of

the world record holder. Australia are second, Germany are three.

Great Britain are 1.4 th 0.9 in 5th. Sorry, 1.46 0.9 by the Great

medal. They have not had much of a meat so far. All that work by Ryan

Lochte might be to no avail. The Brits are getting into a decent

position. Ieuan Lloyd is swimming quite well and he is moving away

from the Germans. That is a good idea, so he does not get as many

waves. Well done. He is 6th at the moment. But wait out in the league

is the USA. He has now extended the lead. There is nothing worse in the

relay and shooting it all and the first 100m and having nothing left

at the end. A very tight takeover. USA's leading, second is Germany at

the moment. Third in lane six it maybe Australia. Ieuan Lloyd bore

Great Britain piercing in 6th. have still got American domination.

It looks as if there is only one place this gold medal is going to

go. And Michael Phelps.... He will have a whole body lay ahead of the

rest of the field to get a gold medal to make him the greatest

Olympian ever. Eight goals in Beijing in eight days, and seven

world records, they could be no better than that. Australia may be

just about in second place now. Maybe it is Germany in lane three.

Britain are still hanging in there. Robert Bear of Great Britain going

and having a go, but he is taking the waves of the Germans.

battle is by second. Robert Bale of Great Britain. They should be on

their feet cheering his whole 200m. France are in second. Third is

Germany, four of his Australian and Great Britain are now in 7th

position. The final swimmer for Great Britain is Ross Davenport,

but this is going to be a wonderful demonstration of 200m freestyle

swimming. Watched the great Michael Phelps winning his 90th Olympic

catch him. 100m to go, two lengths to go, over. The world record does

not matter. What matters is Team America and Michael Phelps. He has

caught him up by seven-tenths of a second. Michael Phelps is

definitely not going to give this up. He is unbelievable. Look at

that. 18 medals at the Olympic Games. He has 14 golds at the

moment. He will get another one in a second. The crowd are standing up

and saluting the greatest Olympian in history. This is something to

watch. 19 medals. He will have 15 God -- 15 gold medals. What a super

hero. The gold medal goes to the USA and Michael Phelps becomes the

greatest Olympian in history with 19 medals. The silver medal to

France, the bronze medal to China and Great Britain finishing in a

credible 6th position. Look at that. He is having a tough time here in

London but he has finally won a gold medal and what a super hero.

Look at that. Ryan Lochte saluting the greatest Olympian in history.

have never seen 18,000 people stand before but you have the whole

audience acknowledging. There is his mum. His mum and his sister in

floods of tears. I am really pleased that this event was this

evening. Chad le Clos is now there, Phelps' star is waning but to

finish tonight's session with this relay is the best end for him. He

could still get more gold medals but I am pleased that was tonight.

Ryan Lochte, the first split, doing a great job. I know they caught up

on the second leg at Ryan Lochte was -- his lead would have made a

difference and helped a lot. There and an epic evening to be involved.

Definitely. The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing tonight. The

race was OK for us. That time was pretty good. It is just great

having their home support here and thank you to everyone in the crowd.

The support has been fantastic. was your first Olympic final?

was amazing. It was everything but I thought it would be. As I walked

out I got hit by the noise and it was really special and it really

pushed me. Nice to be part of history, even though it is not

necessarily winning the race? good to be part of this team. We

have swum together as a team for a couple of years now. Adding Ieuan

Lloyd has paid off. How was it for you, Rob? It is such an honour to

anchor your country in a relay like that again some of the world's

greatest swimmers, not just today but the whole swimming world. It is

absolutely fantastic to be a part of. I would have loved to have been

standing on a podium tonight. This team is very young apart from

myself, there are three guys who will hopefully go on to Rio. We

have been close since 2000 and getting better. Hopefully, in 2016,

these guys will be on the podium. Right over your shoulder we have

the Americans who are going to Jack the NBC, can you imagine the

pressure the guy behind you is under? When he goes home and counts

his medals he will be all right. He has missed out on a couple of goals

but I will take one of those. thank you very much, guys.

The American team will talk to NBC and we may yet hear from them.

Everybody stood, everybody all around this Aquatics Centre stood

to applaud this achievement and how appropriate that Michael Phelps

does it with a gold medal. He is an immense when a. An immense MP in.

When you think his first Olympic Games in Sydney, we are talking 12

years ago and now winning all these spoke to have her and she said I am

delighted that somebody will overhaul my record. That someone is

called Michael Phelps. You saw his mum, Debbie who has been by his

side. She has had to give him a kick up the backside a couple of

times. I think the other thing is, she is the driving force behind it.

I remember looking back to my mum when I was younger, she was the one

who drove you to the swimming pool, Freddie and unless you have that

person who is willing to sacrifice so much for you, those achievements

do not happen -- are they fed you. You need a committed mum.

retires at the Olympic Games -- at the end of the Olympic Games. He

said I am never going to do this but now I can relax and have fun

because it is about how many toppings do I want on my ice-cream

Sunday. That was an unbelievable topping. We are still waiting to

see if we can talk to Michael Phelps but I tell you what will

happen here tomorrow because we have seen two fabulous performances

by Michael Jamieson setting a new British record and Andrew Willis. A

qualified first and third for the final. You will see the

breaststroke final at 7:30pm tomorrow night. The Women's

butterfly final features Jemma Lowe. We have lots of swimmers involved

tomorrow. The exciting thing, especially for the crowd here, we

have had a lot of people every night. It is not just one person

saying, where is the Brit, they have been here every night. I will

hand back to you Gary and if we see Michael Phelps we will give you a

An unbelievable night. Wasn't it? I think for Michael Phelps... I am

going to entrap D because we can hear from Michael Phelps.

Michael, first of all, congratulations, the most decorated

Olympian ever, I have to say I thought you were unbelievably

gracious this evening, a tough night. I was. Have the 200 not

really go the way I wanted, Chad, we raced together last year and we

have done some shoots and stuff together. He is a hard worker and

he is a very talented kid. I was on the other end of that finish four

years ago and he got me here. I cannot be too upset. I had a decent

time. But the most important thing was coming back together with this

relay and this group of guys. After the previous relay we wanted to tie

something together and now we did it. Our first gold medal of the

meat so I am happy. extraordinary athlete, it has been

a real honour watching you. Thank you very much.

The great Michael Phelps, I love that, he cannot be too disappointed.

He has won two Silva's, gold and broken the all-time Olympic medal

record. What I have loved watching Michael do at this competition is

the very frank and honest. With all the comments he has made, he has

had some swims which he felt was not a good, he said that. But

tonight, I have always felt after the Beijing Olympic Games that

Michael Phelps was the greatest Olympian of all time. Now it has

been officiated. It is sort of confirmed. Swimming is one of those

things where you can do multi- events whereas in athletics and

other things you cannot say it does not compare but 15 gold medals is

unbelievable. It is tough in swimming. If you are a freestyle

swimmer, maybe you can do one or two possibly three. Once you get

into the form strokes, it is the difference between track and field.

It separates itself. Michael Phelps, dominant in the medley swimming so

he has been able to get himself around all of the different

disciplines of this sport and then goes and performs in some of the

most hotly contested races like the 200m freestyle. It was brilliant to

see him race and he has a gold medal round his neck. And not just

that, he is a wonderful ambassador for sport. He is. Especially at

this competition, people have wanted to see Michael Phelps win.

It is nice that he has such a positive response from the crowd

here. Team GB obviously has the support of the crowd, so does

Michael Phelps. Arrests on what he has achieved and what people want

to see him doing here. mentioned Team GB, I must talk that

the two rest strikers, it looks quite promising for us? It does and

I am pleasantly surprised. A results going through to the final,

we had the athletes who were up I will have to look at this a bit

more. There could be a medal. Michael Jenson first, Andrew Willis

third, there are some big swimmers in their -- Michael Jenson.

Unfortunately, there are some big swimmers which are just behind. We

have to look at this positively. In for a medal shot. Looking at the

results it would be great to see if the team comes home with a gold

medal. I do not know if it is in this event. I hope so. Make sure

you watch it. That is at 7:30pm tomorrow.

That concludes things in the swimming pool but there is plenty

more sport coming up for you. We will evaluate the chances of

Bradley Wiggins in tomorrow's time trial. We will watch Britain's

women hockey players take on South Korea. And we have also got

football action from Britain's This is the scene outside. A lovely

evening. It has being a pretty wet day at the Olympic Park. There is

the stadium. The flame is still burning inside, I promise you. Our

studio just there. Lots of people coming out of the aquatic centre

now. It will fill up for the next few moments also. Different styles

of dress. Out and about in the park. This is the launch of the British

team kit which of course was designed by our very own, Stella

McCartney. I am delighted to say she joins us now. Thanks for coming

on. I am a little bit nervous, it took me ages to decide what to work.

As I walked into the studio big button fell off my jacket. I did

not make it. When did they ask you to design ticket? I was asked about

3 1/2 years ago. It took about three years to do. It is not just

the Olympics but also the Paralympics. A 590 different

outfits, it must have taken a long time? Overset -- over 26

disciplines. It is the first time a designer has a worked with a sports

brand over the entire kit. It has been amazing. Way you're allowed to

let your imagination wonder? There are so many rules and regulations,

I have no idea. There is the home kit, the going away kit, gymnastics

has to be symmetrical and you cannot show flesh on flesh

otherwise you get marks taken off. A lot of information to take in.

The clothing is quite scientific as well? If his led by technology.

Speaking to the athletes, I have got to get the technology there and

Adidas are the leaders in that. Also trying to get the team to look

and feel as one. Which bought was the most challenging? Tom Daley's

little thing. There there was not a lot of space to work on them to

apply the print. So many different shapes of bodies and different

sizes. The gymnastics or was hard work. You are dealing with a sport

that is not just about going out and scoring goals. It is judged on

people's preferences, I guess. difficult was it to strike the

balance between style and practicality - something I wrestle

with all of the time? I didn't want to say anything. Practicality comes

Firth -- first. Then I wanted to represent the nation, make it look

recognisable and account for the women team members. That had not

been done in previous Games. Also, were you involved in the Opening

Ceremony? I did not do the Opening Ceremony. You're not to blame but

those strange tracksuits? I felt like Elvis. You were not

responsible question mark Chris looks good. I did not do the

Opening Ceremony. Your dad sang at the Opening Ceremony, it must have

been extremely proud? We were watching it and then halfway

through the beginning I was thinking, Dad the you will be down

there in a moment. He was as cool as a cucumber. It was an amazing

moment. This is hymn-singing at the finale. About 24 million watching

at that stage. All in a day's work. He did the family proud. Was he

nervous? I don't think he gets nervous. He just deals with it. I

feel like I am going to feint. knew he was going to play a few

weeks and advance, because it's slipped out. I think he told

everyone. I had to tell him to shut up. What about the Olympics, have

you watched any sport so far? this has made me really interested.

I have always been an avid fan, but a working with the athletes, I

admire them. I was poking Victoria Pendleton's stomach and saying,

really?! Is that really your stomach? Being vault at this level

with this event has brought me, I am so interested in it now. --

loved watching it on telly. You're doing a great job. Thanks for

have the women's team competition team. Two gymnasts from America

huge dismount. And very good work. It was a big routine all the way

through. Russia chasing the USA and that will inch them closer. What

can Great Britain do here? Qualifying we went a whiff 42.5, so

we are hoping they can do as well. The cheering is for Beth Tweddle
